My Little Kaiju: Ponies Are Weird

Cutting Edge tapped his chin as he walked, thinking of ways to accelerate bonding between Garble and Electro Wing. They obviously learned better though experience, but what was the next thing he should teach them? He'd have to ask Acid Spray.

"Hey, Acid" Cutting called out to the unicorn. Acid turned around, giving him a quizzical look. "First off, I want to congratulate you for doing so well in terms of being cordial" Cutting praised, giving her a pat on the back.

"Well, Futs Lung isn't that bad a guy and I don't want my head stuck on a pike, though I suppose you'd find that funny, Cutting" Acid snarked, her attitude still as abrasive as ever towards him. Still, this was an improvement compared to the days back when they were kaiju, though Cutting suspected that a lot of her respect came from the fact that he was top dog now. Cutting ignored the snark and asked his question.

"What do you think Electro Wing should learn next?" Cutting asked, knowing that Acid knew more about the pegasus than he ever would(In more ways than one). Acid gave him a look that indicated her concern over Electro's brashness.

"Since this will help him, I'd say you should teach him trust. He can't know it's a test though, that would ruin the result" Acid advised. While she loved her boy friend, she recognized that with everyone besides her, he was cautious of. Cutting nodded but before he could launch into a speech about friendship, he ran into a cliff wall.

"Oh, look, we're at our destination" Cutting said, shaking off his head and beginning to set up camp. This was a perfect place to teach Electro Wing and Garble trust, though he really should thank Acid for the idea.

"What is this place? It looks the same as everything in these stupid mountains" Electro grumbled, setting up his tent. A glare from Garble paused him. "What?" Electro questioned the drake. While he had learned that they could be a team, he still hated the arrogant kaiju wannabe.

"This is the sacred dragon land" Garble growled at Electro before setting up his own tent, mumbling curses under his the breath all the while. Electro didn't really care and simply scoffed before returning to setting up his tent. Cutting could have hit both of them, but this was a golden opportunity. Cutting beckoned Futs Lung and Acid over, discreetly, knowing that Electro and Garble were too wrapped up in their own anger that they wouldn't notice.

"Here's the plan, we will disappear, make them try to find us" Cutting whispered to the dragon and unicorn. "This place is hazardous and certain areas will only be crossed with a partner" Cutting explained, tracing a rough map in the dirt with his knife.

"Can't they just fly?" Futs Lung asked, liking the plan save for that one detail. Cutting smirked as he pointed to the thick clouds rolling in.

"They're not going to fly in this weather" Cutting confided, rather proud of that detail. "We go in the morning" Cutting announced, checking for agreement. Acid and Futs Lung both nodded up and down.

Garble woke up to a pony bouncing on his chest.

"What the Hell?!" Garble roared, kicking Electro Wing off of him. The dragon was about to beat the pegasus down when he saw the terrified look on Electro Wing's face.

"They're gone" Electro panted, horror present on the pegasus's face. "Futs Lung, Acid, and Cutting, I can't find them" Electro hissed out, flinching as lightning cracked next to them. Garble's face turned serious and he got up, rain spattering on his scales. Lightning and thunder criss-crossed the the sky and winds howled. The sound and light made it impossible for Electro and Garble to see the tears on each other's faces. Garble's hand clenched, claws digging into his palm and making a few drops of blood hit the ground. Electro's eyes flashed with electricity and his wings buzzed.

"I'm going to find whoever did this and make them pay" two voices called together, swearing sollemnly in the storm. The sky itself rent apart with sturm and drang as a dragon and pony looked at each other, finding an alliance in their hearts and goals
