Inventor in Equestrea
Eather I'm saved or scrued even more.
Previous ChapterDirt flue as the tires on the truck spun almost off the axles as Scott floored it away from the now pissed monster that he could tell was a carnivore from the sharp daggers that where its teeth. Into the forest with god knows what's up ahead with a 4 headed now 3 headed thing on his ass with as much speed as the truck.
The trees seemed to be aiding the beast by trying to slow him down with logs and by not letting any light in. None of witch worked, the logs where either jumped or smashed and the darkness was cleaned up with the headlights. But it kept on, the 7 ton reaching almost 70 MPH with the newly 3 headed carnivore almost 20 yards away. They entered a small clearing that was cut by a deep ravine in the middle. There was a bridge, god knows why or where it came from but it could help. Well like in most moves it turns out that the bridge was out...
Well that's not a problem to Scott. When opportunity called, even if it was a wrong number, he still took it. He sped to the bridge at top speed and prepared for take off. The thing still on his 6th, and getting close to him. He had no intention to stop even if it got him killed.
As he neared the bridge, something caught his eye. A brown colored horse on the other end, small in size but still in the way. Scott stared at it, still flooring the gas. "Is that thing wherein a hard hat?" Before he could think of the matter, the yellow beast took a shot and landed right behind the back of the truck. "Shit, too damn close to stop now". He pounded the horn as hard as he could to try to scare the horse.
The bridge was lost thanks to one of the Everfrees weird wind storms and he was on the site to get things back up. The worker was looking at the damaged wood struts when something suddenly made the ground shake. Almost falling off the bridge, the brown earth pony staggered off the bridge. "What the buck was that?" Before he could look around, it sounded as if some pony had set off a fog horn somewhere. He looked across the ravine to see something he was not expecting. A 3 headed hydra that was chasing a large self powered carriage that was panted green and moving at a unbelievable pace. "What in equestria is that?" Then he saw that the weird box was coming to the bridge with the intent on crossing it. Not knowing what to do, he did what any pony would do. To wave there front legs around in the air and try to warn them.
"Why is that horse dancing?" Scott saw as he neared the intended cross way. With no way to stop now he hammered the horn again hoping that the thing would see that he was getting across one why or another.
"why wont it stop?!?" the worker thought as he tried to warn the unknown thing that was coming. Then it clicked, it was running from the hydra and didn't care that the bridge was out. "Oh buck!" was all he said as the thing hit the bridge and went airborne as if it was a Pegasus.
At the last minute the horse seamed to jump out of the way as the truck was in the air and almost flying to the other side. everything seamed to go slow motion as he was air born, he could see the thing behind him skid to a stop, and the horse in front of him dive out of the way as the front tires made contact with the other side. As things started to speed back up for Scott, he switched from the gas to the brake and swerving to the side to try to increase the area he was using to stop. The truck finally slowed to a stop and he wanted to see if fate had been on his side.
The earth pony covered his head with his hooves as the unknown carriage thing landed right where he was once standing. He looked back up to see what was going on when he herd the hydra roar out at the thing as if it didn't see him. Now he saw that one of the hydras heads was dragging on the ground and appeared to have been crushed. Then he remembered. He had passed a carriage that had the newly weds in it for there honeymoon. knowing that an injured hydra and an unknown machine where in the same area scared him. So he ran as fast as he could to where he saw them heading to warn of the possible danger.
He almost cried in relief that the thing had not gotten across. He knew that things had been taking one hell of a roller coaster but he needed to find someway to get back. As he pondered this he didn't notice the horse run into the forest. When he gave up on the thought for the time being he noticed that the sun was setting. He needed to find a place to rest and to park the truck so nothing happens. Scott decided that he could park next to a stream that he could here off in the distance. So he set off to find the river before night finally fell.
As lunas stars and moon slowly rose from the mountains, the camp slowly moved to the night time shift. As the two newly weds started to head to the large tent that was to be their home for the reminder of there honeymoon. On the outskirts of the camp, royal guards stood at attention looking for anything out of the ordinary that could be a threat to the royal couple. One of the guards, who was facing the tree line, was struggling to stay awake when a brown earth pony came through the trees.
Remembering the training he was in, he started off. "State your business!" The sound of his voice attracted two more guards.
The brown earth pony stopped, knowing that the wrong words would land him in jail responded "I believe that there is a threat in the area that you should know about."
After hearing the word "threat" the three guards walked up to him in a V shaped formation. after they reached the earth pony, they asked "what kind of threat?"
Seeing that he was in no trouble, he responded "one that's an injured hydra and an unknown self powered wagon"
With that they asked him to follow them back to the tent.
Once they arrived, they all bowed at the presence of royalty and he was asked what exactly he saw. And not wishing to keep them weighting any longer, he told then everything he saw.
When the earth pony finished, the guards and couple looked at each other with the same question in there minds, "what do we do about it?"
The truck was parked on a rocky beach that was on the side of the creak that Scott had found. He set up a small fire as well as a ring of seismic sensors so nothing more then 100 pounds could sneak up on him. The cab of the truck was far too small for him to sleep in so he set up a cot on the bed of the truck. with his prized .50 caliber in arms reach and his sward that could light stuff on fire with one swing under his cot, he fell asleep within moments under a night sky he believed did not belong to earth.
The talk about the threat was resolved with the option to send some Pegasus guards out to look around the area from the air. So 5 guards took to the air in search of the Hydra and self powered wagon.
Scott awoke to his laptop beeping. When he checked it, it was informing him that 2 seismic sensors where set off by a shock wave that exerted 147 pounds. "Well that's way to small to be anything bad." and with that, he fell back to sleep
One of the guards had taken a small river that was in the area of where the bridge was. looking around at the ground, the guard was about to return to camp when he spotted a faint smoke trail coming from the river bank. Deciding to take a look, the guard landed a ways off from the smoke. Landing a little harder then he intended, he proceeded to where the smoke was coming from, not noticing the two mettle poles that where flashing red.
Scott awoke to a different feeling this time was a slight prodding or gabbing on the his left shoulder, he shifted thinking it was a bird that wanted food. But he got a completely different response. "State your reason of being here!" Thinking that it was unfriendly, he started to reach over for the .50 caliber when whatever it was rammed what looked like a spear into his right arm. As a reaction, he grabbed the spear with his left hand, hit the attacker somewhere he couldn't see so hard it sent them over the side of the truck. To keep the upper hand on the opponent, he changed his focus from the .50 caliber to the sward. Pulling it from under the cot and jumping over the side of the truck to see the attacker with the spear still hanging from his right arm. What he saw before him was a snow white Pegasus with gold armor.
