The Bone Diaries

The group of four arrive at the town where they see the creature responsible for tearing up their town. It is vaguely wolf shaped except it is easily twice the size of a normal pony. It was thick yet soft looking navy blue fur covering its body and, shockingly, 3 foot long bone spikes on its shoulders and hips and one 2-3 foot long spike on its elbows and heels. And perhaps the most striking feature is its head, which looks like it’s made of solid bone and looks like a skull, with two 2 foot long spikes pointing backwards and 4 much smaller ones below the larger ones. It has dog like back feet, but with longer toes and its front paws vaguely look like hands, with each finger and toe sporting almost 3 inch claws. When it opens its jaws, dozens of teeth can be seen, each looking like they could bite through almost anything. All the marks of a powerful and dangerous predator. And by the way it’s sniffing around; it looks like it’s looking for something to eat.

Applejack looks over at Twilight and says, “See Twilight?! I ain’t nevah seen anything like it.”

Twilight, shocked at the sight of the creature, says, “Me neither. This would make a very interesting creature to study.” Applejack shoots her an annoyed look. “If, it wasn’t destroying our town, that is.” Twilight says with a nervous chuckle. She shakes her head, stands up tall, and says, “Alright, Applejack? We need to distract this, creature, while Pinkie, you go get everyone else. And tell them they’re in for the fight of their lives. Except maybe tell Fluttershy to bring fruit. Maybe it likes fruit too.”

Pinkie salutes and says, “Aye aye Twilight” and runs i.e. bounces away to get their friends.

Applejack and Twilight then look back at the creature who is currently sniffing around a carrot cart. The creature takes a bite out of a carrot, makes a disgusted sound, and spits it back out before shaking its head and going back on the prowl. “Well,” Twilight begins. “At least we know it doesn’t like carrots.”

Applejack rolls her eyes and asks, “So, what’s the plan on distracting that thing? Whistle and have it chase us?” And before Applejack could say anything more, Twilight does just that. “No, Twilight! Darn it, I didn’t mean it literally.” But before she could protest any further, she hears something falling over. They both look over and see that the cart the creature was looking through was tipped over, but there was no sign of the creature. “What the? Where the hay did it go? Ain’t no way something that big could move that fast.”

“U-uh, Twilight? Applejack?” Spike says nervously.

“Not now Spike, Applejack and I are trying to figure out where that creature went.” Twilight says.

“W-w-well, I think I found it.” Twilight and Applejack turn around and are now face-to-face with the creature. A low grumble can be heard as the creature continues to stare at them with its golden colored, slit-pupil eyes, watching them.

“Don’t make any sudden moves or noises,” Twilight says through gritted teeth. “and it just may leave us alone.”

And almost as if on cue, Pinkie screeches to a halt in front of the three and excitedly says, “HEYGUYSGUESSWHATIFOUNDTHEMEASYPEASYLEMONSQUEESYARENTYOUGUYSPROUD?” She looks at Twilight and Applejack and asks, “Hey, why aren’t you guys moving? Oooh, oooh, are we having a contest of who can not move the longest? Let me join! Let me join!” And before anypony else could say anything, the creature, annoyed and surprised by Pinkie’s sudden appearance, let’s out a loud roar, causing Pinkie to turn around. “Oooohhhhh, that’s why you weren’t moving. We should probably run now.” And the four do just that.

They run all through town and as they’re running, Rainbow Dash swoops in next to them. “Hey guys, what’s going on?”

Twilight, Applejack, and Spike all look back and yell out, “THAT!”

Rainbow Dash looks back and sees the creature in hot pursuit and yells out, “WHOA! Where the hay did that thing come from?!”

Twilight looks up and says, “No clue, was trying to figure out how to capture it.”

“Well, have no fear, because the Wonderbolts are here. They will be sure to put this thing in its place.”

And almost on cue, the Wonderbolts fly overhead, straight towards the creature, dive-bombing it every chance they get while trying to avoid its sharp claws. Getting annoyed with the flying pests, the creature spots a pie cart and runs over to it. Once behind, it hits the cart with its powerful tail, sending it flying towards the Wonderbolt. Spitfire sees this and yells, “Watch out! Pie cart, sic o’clock!”

Soarin pulls up his goggles and says, “Did someone say ‘pie’?” before getting slammed by the cart, causing him to crash.

Spitfire rolls her eyes and says, “Of course.” But then Fleetfoot yells at her to watch out and when Spitfire looks back in front of her, another cart slams into her and she falls to the ground after Sourin and soon Fleetfoot flows suit.

Rainbow Dash cringes at seeing this and asks, “Okay, why is it that every time they show up, they always get their flanks kicked?” But before she could get her answer, she feels herself being tackled.

She looks up and sees the creature looking down at her, snarling. Rainbow Dash cries out in shock and kicks the creature in the nose, earning a surprised yelp from it as it falls backwards onto its rump, where it begins rubbing the end of its nose with one of its paws. “Oi, now why did you do that?! That hurt!” The creature asks, earning a surprised gasp from the group.

“Wait,” Twilight begins to say. “You can talk?”

The creature looks up at them and says in an annoyed tone with a slight Russian accent, “Well, of course I can talk, ya damn ponies. I'm not an idiot.”
