Skull and Stich visit Equestria
Hard work and lessons learned.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterCurrently things aren't looking in Skull's and Stich's favor during their current predicament. Skull bends backward a bit as he places his hands on his lower back that's practically killing him.
"Argh! How much longer!" He yells up into the sky where currently Celestia floats lazily watching them as she flaps her giant wings to keep her aloft.
"Until you work out all of that energy in you." She says as she sips a bit of tea that's in her hands.
Where she got it from, he doesn't know. What he does know is that his need to murder is slowly rising and the curiosity of what happens when you kill someone who controls the sun starts increasing. Skull wishes he could wipe that smug grin from her face, but at least he's not the only person suffering right now.
He looks over at Stich who's currently shoveling dirt into a hole created by them while sweat pours down his face heavily. Further to the right of him Twilight is straining with her magic as she puts Sweet something back together from the other night, Rainbowdash is single handedly trying to clear a storm above them, and Applejack is doing almost the same thing as Skull. She's currently pulling a load of different materials need for their work. Wood, food, and rocks of different sizes are all loaded in different crates that are being dragged behind her. Skull on the other hand had to up his work since he could carry the same load with ease.
Skull looks back to see the giant crates of different building material behind him only being connected to him with a rope. He looks at his ankles pitifully to remind himself of the giant rocks on his ankles. He groans again and keeps moving forward to the hospital that currently has a hole from a fired spell of Twilight's. His feet drag through the dirt as he slowly progresses forward.
In hind sight, since Stich mentioned it, they probably should've picked a better place to do their fight. Skull chuckles to himself reminding himself of how worth it it was. The defeated looks on their faces was just too delicious to pass up. Though he figures lesson learned. Never trust the smart one to arrange a battle.
"How's it going Skull..." Applejack ask as she passes by him as she's now free of her work load. Though he figures she's about to go get another one.
"Fan-fucking-tastic..." Skull says back as he stares at Celestia and continue his slowly drag, "fan-fucking-tastic..."
"Don't worry Skull. With the way we're working right now, we'll be done faster than you think!" Applejack says wiping a bit of sweat off her forehead, "I didn't think she would have such a strong reaction to all of this..."
"Well we did cause a lot of damage property..." Rainbowdash says flying over head slowly struggling with a clump of dark clouds that shock her with lighting every so often, "I've never had to do something like this before... I'm so used to having a team with me to do weather control..."
She's taking it like a champ despite her complaints, but everyone can tell she's really having to fight through this to prevent herself from giving up. Everyone wants to give up, but with Celestia watching... They choose the better option. After all, a mad god is a bad god. Currently Fluttershy and Rarity get off scotch free and only one of them is watching them work making sure they'll be alright.
"Are you thirsty?" Fluttershy asks as she walks up behind Stich.
Stich turns and wipes some sweat off his forehead and pulls out his pad. Despite his hands shaking he's able to write down steady reply.
No thanks. I'm sure Celestia will give us break- He looks into the sky to see Celestia still sipping away ever so graceful I hope.
Fluttershy giggles which lightens the weight in his heart as well as the weight on his shoulders. Her full and innocent laughter reminds him of someone so dear to his heart who he hasn't seen in ages. He secretly travels to find her as well as defeat Doctor, but priorities are set accordingly. Doctor first than his sister. Wherever she may be.
"Get back to work Stich!" Celestia calls out from above.
Stich chuckles and starts to get back to work after he's knocked out of his thoughts. This world is something else entirely. One lesson he's learned from today's experience: Be wary of magic.
Fluttershy watches carefully as Stich begins to place wood back to where wood once was. He takes care making sure he doesn't hurt himself and overextend himself. Fluttershy feels something inside of her move as she watches him work. She isn't sure what it is, but she plans on finding out.
Skull lands face first on the couch and immediately falls to sleep without a second thought or opinion. Behind him, Twilight and Stich shuffle in covered in dirt and scratches. Skull is a lot dirtier than both of them combined, but most of their clothing is ripped in different ways. Stich sits in front of the couch and lays the back of his head on it before closing his eyes to rest them. He sighs as his body goes loose.
"I didn't think... we would work all day..." Twilight says shuffling towards the kitchen, "I really hope spike made us some food before going to bed..."
She gets no sounds from either Skull, other than the occasional snore, and Stich, which would be pencil on pad, so she turns back to check on their welfare. Skull is completely out and Stich is staring at the ceiling trying to keep himself awake for some odd reason. He could easily just go to sleep just as fast as Skull, yet he holds back.
"Stich. You okay?"
Stich nods his head before pulling out his pad and broken in half pencil. Broken do to wood falling on him after a certain pegasi shocked it with lightning by accident. Luckily Skull and Applejack were nearby so they could dig him out despite Fluttershy's efforts.
Yea. Just tired, hungry, pissed, and dead.
Twilight nods her head, "I'll see about some food. You can go upstairs and use my shower if you want to."
Stich chuckles thinking about how many times he has had to bathe under a water or in a stream on his travels. Especially after sir stinks-a-lot decided to bombard them with animals one day. One skunk is enough. Five skunks is overkill, but it doesn't matter right now. He's always found the water as a type of stress reliever whenever things were getting intense.
Stich rises up slowly wincing as pain laces through his body. He nearly goes back down, but manages to keep himself up. He hasn't worked this hard since... Stich stops at the stairs realizing he hasn't even been worked this hard before. He shakes his head and starts painstakingly walking up the stairs.
Meanwhile, Twilight is rifling through the fridge pulling out different plates already made by her wonderful assistant. She smiles at her favorite sandwich and moves to go warm her food up. She's stopped at the sight of something fluttering past the kitchen window. She places the plates down before looking out at the window towards the direction she assumes it went. After seeing nothing she returns back to the task at hand figuring it's some type of bird.
