Skull and Stich visit Equestria

Skull moves forwards with diligence and speed that matches the determination that's going through his mind all the while having his guns clutched close to his chest to make sure that he's ready for whatever will happen. For a good reason too. Ever since he entered this forest, things have felt very off and it always feels like the forest is trying to suffocate him. At all times it feels as if something is breathing down his neck and crawling around at his feet. He can't put his finger on it, but something about this forest gives off a feedback of it being alive and wanting to capture him. Every part of his body is streaming at him to start shooting up the entire place, but he knows that'll get him nowhere. He has to save Stich first before deforesting the entire place. Or probably the entire world they're living on at this point.

He clutches his fist at the thought of his greatest ally and friend being taken away from him right under his nose.

God damn demon...

He thinks of him as the person that has taught him to keep calm under any situation. Even a situation like this. Yet, his nerves are screaming at him that he needs to go right now. No matter the risks or how long it may take. He has to.

He stops as something snaps to the right of him. He flexes his alright tense fingers against the triggers of his two pistols and waits. He needs them to attack first. He's never been good with fighting in close places. Especially ones were he has to guess where his enemies are. He's always lacked the mind and the speed for it. But Stich... He would love to fight in a place like this. Especially against an unknown enemy that thinks it's all to stealthy.

It comes fast. Almost too fast. Skull reacts just as this wooden beast jumps from out of the darkness maw agape ready to take a bite out of him. His revolver goes off and splits the creature right down the middle making a giant pile of lumber fall to the ground and partly in the bushes and darkness from wince it came. A wooden beast that resembles a wolf. A dead wolf at that really. He can't put his tongue on it, but he's quite sure he remembers these beasts. He shrugs it off. He'll probably think of it later.

Skull humphs before moving on further into the forest. He isn't too sure where he's heading, but he believes in his heart of hearts he'll eventually run into some sign of Stich. Though he still remembers what Twilight had said to him. He looks back at the creature one more time to make sure it's truly dead.

"Pfft. The forest isn't a scary place at alllaaaaaaaaaaawwwwww." He says as he looks back in front of him to see a bunch of wooden wolves looking at their fallen comrade. They all looks towards Skull with the same looks of hatred.

"Friends?" He asks not really wanting to fight the ten or so wolves he can see before him.

They all growl their response which indicates the opposite of friendship.

"Right. Not friends...." He says as he gets into a fighting stance while pointing his guns at the crew, "I'll try to be nice to you guys!"

Skull says as he jumps back while firing his guns at the wolves who are coming out, almost comically, from the darkness around him. He would comment about how such big creatures, as well as so numerous, shouldn't be able to hide in these small bushes. But from his past experience with a giant guy with a hulking sword...

"Damn it! Why are there so many of you!" Skull yells as he slams his revolves into the mouth of one wooden creature and pulling it basically shattering the creature apart, "And why are you guys-"

His words are cut off as one pushes him forward from behind. He trips over another one perfectly crouched and lands on his face sending his guns to the side. The wolves jump and pin him down. The more he throws off the more seem to take there place. It's almost ridiculous at how well they're putting up such a fight. It's almost like they have a ri-

"Hello Skull. I didn't think I would be seeing you so early..." A very feminine voice speaks out in almost a noble style.

"Who the fu-"

"Language my dearest." The woman says as a vine wraps itself around his mouth. She giggles to herself merrily as many thought play through her head of rewards she'll receive, "Oh! Master will be so pleased to see that I've caught the man he's looking for! Or at least I hope so... Let's see... pissed off mood... dark aura... and giant weird looking wings! Yep! Time to return to master!"

"Mmmph!" Skull protests as Timber Wolves pick him up and carry him off using team work. He tries to pulse off dark energy to get them off, but it doesn't work. It's almost as if the vine's eating his magic.

Well shit... Welp. Time to enjoy the adventure of the life time!

Twilight packs the last of her things as a knock sounds at her door. She quickly comes out of her room, down her wooden steps, and swings the door excitedly.

"Skull! I'm glad you see... Oh... Hey girls. You ready?"

"Yeah." Rainbowdash says as she stands beside Applejack in the door way both holding bags of supplies.

Twilight nods her head as she levitates her supplies down and heads out the door, "Spike! Take good care okay!"

"You can count on me Twilight!" Spike yells from the window of their shared room.

The three walk off silently towards the forest as they get curious glances from the occupants of the small town. The three walk with determination and only one destination in mind. Though from there, it's all up to fate.
