Forge in Equestria
Arbiters Intentions
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSomeplace near the Everfree Forest, the Arbiter was looking for the pilot that came through the door with him when the bomb went off. He would call him on their radio, but it broke his fall after he woke up. The Arbiter was still in pain from the wounds he received after fighting the human. The energy sword nearly came close to severing his spine, but because of the split in the middle of the sword he live to see another day.
As the Arbiter started to walk to the forest he heard a strange noise come out. It was like the forest was calling him to come see its wonders. The Arbiter was getting edgy though because of the forest look. The plants all had their own demeaning looks. The Arbiter could tell that anything with half a brain would avoid the woods, but he was sure that the pilot landed in there, so there he had to go.
Of somewhere in the Everfree forest the pilot was setting up camp. He was still dazed by the fact that he was still breathing. He was sure that he was in a heavenly world until he felt a pain in his left hand. He looked down to see that there was a large cut on his palm. After this he concluded that, A. he was still alive, B. this meant the Arbiter was still alive, and C. the humans must be alive too. So after all this he decided to make camp for a couple hours before looking for the Arbiter.
He started going over his supplies in his head. He had the following: one needier, one plasma pistol, a bag of plasma grenades, and two semi auto plasma rifles. After checking over his things. He got up and started looking around the perimeter. He did this until he was sure he was alone.
The pilot went back to the middle of the small clearing he was in and sat down on a fallen log. He pressed a couple buttons on his left arm and a screen popped up. It showed a picture of his home world. It made him happy to look at it.
The pilot doesn't know how long he stared at the picture but when he stopped he noticed that the forest had gotten slightly darker. He also felt like something was watching him. He looked around to see if he could spot anything outta place. The only thing he saw was some sticks poking out behind the bushes. Even though he couldn't see anything he slowly reached out and picked up the needier. As he sat there his heart rate was climbing higher and higher as he still couldn't see what was watching him. Then out from the bushes jumped a strange creature. It had the body of wood in the shape of the human wolf. It's eyes were light green with a strange glow. This was all the Elite could study of the new animal, more of them jumped out from behind the treeline. The Elite counted seven in all. The Elite raised his gun. The things in front of him started growling.
The Elite stood there staring down each of the creatures. The one in the middle took a step forward. The Elite didn't like it getting closer. He turned towards it and fired the needier at it's head. It fell to the ground after the second round hit it. The other six saw their pack member go down and immediately ran at the Elite. The Elite ducked making the group hit midair. He turned around and faced the group trying to get up. He fired round after round at them. Two died before they got up and the other four jumped away. They started circling the Elite. The Elite took aim at one to his right and fired. The animal ducked and charged the Elite. The other three took notice and charged too. The Elite grabbed the first that charged him and pulled it's head back till a loud snap was heard through the forest. The Elite was so busy with the task at hand that he didn't notice the other three were running at him. The Elite was about to turn around when he was tackled from behind. The Elite felt three sets of mouths bite at his exposed skin. He could feel blood trickle down his body, enraged the Elite stood up and tried to grab at the animals on his back. He twisted sideways to grab at the beast. During his twisting movement the animals fell off and started circling again. The Elite looked back at the three beast with hate filled eyes. The three beast returned the stare. The Elite was trying to decide if he could reach his grenade bag or if he should just use the rest of his needier rounds. After about a minute of standing still the wolfs were getting restless. One wolf got mad that its prey wasn't moving and decided to jump at the prey. The Elite was busy thinking when he saw a beast jump at him. He only had seconds to react to the beast. The Elite shot the beast inches away from his face. The Elite looked down at the last two beast and gave them the most hate filled death glares. This time they didn't return the glare. Instead they turned around and ran full speed away.
"Well that was different," the Elite said to himself as he watch the beast run away.
"It certainly was," said a familiar voice. Just then the Arbiter limped into the clearing. (The Arbiter was watching for some time)
"Arbiter," the Elite said bowing his head in respect, "how long where you there?"
"Long enough," the Arbiter said before sitting down on the log.
"What should we do now, sir," the Elite said hoping that he had a plan. The Arbiter only shook his head and shrugged.
"I don't know. At first I thought that we landed on a human world, but, after seeing those things I'm not so sure," the Arbiter said slowly. The Elite nodded thoughtfully. There have been no reports of dogs made of wood in any report when they attacked Harvest.
"So, what do you want to do," the Elite said after some thought.
It took some time for the Arbiter to answer the question.
"I think I want to find out what calls this place home. Then, I want to get my revenge on the bastard human," the Arbiter said flatly. The Elite bowed again out of respect of the Arbiter's words.
"You need to sit down," the Arbiter said looking at the Elite while clutching the split in his gut where the energy sword hit, "I have a feeling we'll be here for a while," then before he could say more he fainted from the pain from his wounds.
