Chapter 4: Confessions and a Pact

The girls saw that there was a force field, the same one that was shown on the day of Twilight's brothers wedding. The train went through, but the dirt following them went on a full collision to a force field. That sent five guards down there with weapons, but when they went down all there was was dirt and nothing else. Three of the guards left, but the other two stayed, but unknowing to them, a single tentacle was reaching for one of the guards.

The girls had exited the train and entered Canterlot. It took a couple of minutes but they got to the castle. When they entered the throne room they were greeted with a weird sight. The changeling queen, minotaur king, and the Griffin king were seated near the princesses along with Cadence and Shining Armor. The queen of changelings looked really beaten up, complete with a bite mark on her hoof. The minotaur king looked sad and angry. The Griffin king was as confused as the main six and the rulers of the Crystal Empire.

"So what's going on here, why are the rulers of the other Kingdoms here, we never needed them when Discord or Sombra were here?" asked Twilight.

"The changeling queen and minotaur king lost almost their whole kingdom to the evil that you will fight with the help of the Griffins." answered Celestia.

"The evil were a scourge to ALL the Kingdoms many years ago. They hunt by sound, they are blind due to no eyes. They live underground. Just ONE can destroy a kingdom and they are strong. I should know ... I almost lost my live trying to protect my citizens from one." explained Luna.

Twilight was now intrigued, "So are the beasts worms or what?" asked Twilight.

Celestia let out a sigh, "Yes, they are huge worms, but they are huge and deadly and can metamorphosize into something else too and those metamorphosize. These beasts are a force to be reckoned with."

When Twilight was about to ask another question a scream interrupted the thought. The group went to the window. There was a

Author's Note

Sorry I am using my phone so it's gonna suck. Hey at least there's a cliffhanger muahahaha.

Chapter 5: The Hunt Begins

The group had made it to the scene, dodging the crowd. There where the two guards were were only half a pony, the backside that is, sticking out of the ground, blood everywhere. Luna knew what was going on and told everypony to go back into their homes and stay there.

"They're back Tia, the Graboids are back." announced Luna.

"Is that what the beasts are called, Graboids? Sounds like a name that a child would come up with." asked Twilight.

"Yes my little pony friend, they are back and so am I." said a mysterious figure.

"Burt is that you?" asked Luna.

"Affirmative, but it looks like my world's timeline is really slow compared to your timeline. To me it's been like 5 years." answered Burt Gummer.

"Wait, what are you and who are you?" Asked Twilight.

"Twilight, his name is Burt, Burt Gummer. He is a human, these creatures walk on two legs and they live in a different world they call Earth. He was here a thousand years ago after the Discord Era and he and Luna fought the Graboids for a while." answered Celestia.

"Correction, I still hunt these colossal beasts, except one. His name is Al Blanco, he can't metamorphosize like the others. He takes care of us as much as we take care of him. I was sent back here three days ago while fighting a mix master beast,I will tell you that later. For now, who wants to kick some worm ass." explained Burt.

Then a machine, or what we would see it as a truck, pulled up near them. Another human was in the drivers seat.

"Hey Burt, haven't seen you in a while. Hey Grady do you see any of those sons of bitches." Asked what looked like ...

"No Earl, looks like he ran off, can't find a signature anywhere. Hey don't tell me, we're in a TV show,I have a daughter who watches this show. Hey I know you, most of you anyway." said Grady

"Uh Grady, these are not robots, we're in a different world that I do not want to get into with the details." Anyways, Luna i'm sorry but we were sucked in here by a weird wormhole and now we see that you have two Graboids in your land." said Burt.

Just then, a scream was heard as a pony galloped for her life, the dirt following her.

"Shit, Graboid, get the bombs." yelled Burt.

Earl lit an explosive and threw it, causing a huge explosion making the Graboid run away.

"What WAS THAT THING!?" Screamed the mare that was almost chow.

"That was a Graboid, they hunt by sound. Luna, Celestia, why didn't you warn your citizens about these beasts?" asked Burt.

"Well there was no reports after we killed those beasts, we even checked." answered Celestia.

"Well make that 4 Graboids, one attacked the minotaur kingdom and my own Celestia so I think that piece of information could have been helpful." said an angry Chrysalis.

"Well I've faced four Graboids before so let's kill some Graboid ass." exclaimed Burt.

Author's Note

Yeah, Burt, Earl, and Grady are in the story now. I will explain the backstory later.

Chapter 6: Hunter or Hunted

In the woods were 20 Hunters, 3 were humans, 9 were ponies, 3 were predators, and 5 were timber wolves, all trying to kill eachother, but there were 4 surprise guests also hunting. All the Hunters screamed, even the predators screamed, as the surprise guests were having their feast, crunching of bones and the growls of the beasts were heard.

Back at the castle there were talk of plans.

"YOU CAN'T JUST GO AND SHOOT AT RANDOM, THEY GET SMARTER AS THEY LIVE LONGER!!!" screamed both Luna and Bert. Both looked at eachother, Luna blushing, Bert was blushing on the inside.

"Wait, won't ponies freak out when they see a human?" asked Twilight. Bert knew what was coming up. He used something that no one or no pony, except Luna, would expect. Bert turned into his pony form, Star Swirl the Bearded.

"No way Burt, you're the great Star Swirl the Bearded, I can't believe it." said Grady.

"Now you two." Star Swirl the Bearded then turned Earl and Grady into ponies, one a pegasus pony, another a unicorn.

"Ok Bert, now you humiliated us, what's the real plan?" asked Earl.

"This IS the plan, now Earl you are Sombra, but if anypony asks, you were reformed and wanna be friends." answered Burt, "Now Grady, you are a boy version of Daring Do, now that mare was like Indiana Jones, so act like him."

The group then thought of a plan. When the plan was said Twilight and her friends were not happy.

"Bert, you can't just use Ponyville as bait, even if we use these weapons, we don't know how to use them. And what about the citizens, they'll get hurt." worried Twilight.

"Now if you didn't have me then you could worry, but now that i'm here then I could train you to use what I love to call guns, never leave my universe without them." answered Bert.

Now the gang brought anypony and anygriffon who would volunteer, which was a lot, and any remaining changeling and minotaur and brought them to an abandoned mansion.

"Now I got 2 survival schools, one here and another back at home. Now every ... are those timber wolves?" Asked Bert. There were a puppy pack of timber pups, all sad and scared. Bert felt sad and knew what was going on, their parents were eaten. Bert went over and cheered them up.

"All right, these pups lost their parents and you all lost your friends. Now i'm gonna teach all of you how to use one of humans greatest accomplishments, the gun. The gun is used to fire what we call bullets, these little bullets can kill anything through the gun. Each gun works in different ways, my favorite is the AK-47, this gun can shoot up to ..." Burt then explained and showed how each gun worked and taught every creature how to use them.

Out in the everfree an Ursa Minor was smashing the ground, then it cried in pain as it was being dragged down to its gory demise. The Ursa Major came over and saw her young in pieces, not seeing the Graboids there. The depressed mother then charged and destroyed everything in her path, heading for ... Ponyville.

Author's Note

Yeah, terror is my specialty. Let's see what happens next.

Chapter 7: Old Ursa Major was Hopping Around

"Everyone is graduating Bert's survival camp. You made me so proud especially since most of you don't have fingers." said Bert who was filled with pride.

Then a soldier came running in saying, "Princess there's an Ursa Major heading towards Ponyville, none of our forces could beat it. It looks extremely angry."

"Wait, an Ursa Major? Why is it heading towards Ponyville?" asked Twilight.

"We checked out its home and saw the Ursa Minor in pieces. Some of our stallions went missing." answered another soldier.

"God, they're already taking on the big beasts? Let's go and stop big mama bear, she is extremely pissed. Now I want sector one, two, and three to head to Ponyville and set up the weapons set, barricades, and seismographs. The rest of you get the big bazookas and let's head on out." commanded Bert. Everypony was moving, the three sectors chosen went to Ponyville using teleporting spells, the rest grabbing their weapons and heading outside to wait for Burt.

Burt got more than bazookas, he grabbed his truck from Tremors: Aftershock. He drove out in front of them and announced, "Now follow me and stay quiet, we don't want to fatten up those Graboids. If you feel that you can be careful with explosives then come in the back and grab, not light, just grab some and wait till I say throw or even better, when I say Explosive team, which will be whoever throws the bombs." 7 ponies went in the back and grabbed some explosives, ready to throw them.

"Alright, let's stop that Ursa Major." said Burt.

The team headed off towards the angry Ursa Major, making as little noise as possible. The bazooka team went up on a rock boulder ledge and waited for Burt to give the signal. The Ursa was getting really close. When she was close enough the team saw Burt give the signal and blasted her to smithereens. When the dust had cleared the Ursa had only lost her left arm and was more than furious. She gave off a huge roar to signal any predators to think twice about attacking. Burt took the challenge and grabbed something from a box that was next to him, a single small bullet. Burt went and simply walked up to her, putting on a serious face. Burt was now eye to eye with the angry mother. He simply pointed the gun at her nose, making the Ursa snort. Burt took one more look before firing his trigger, and instead of hitting mama bear, he shot at the air, the gun was a flair gun. The Ursa was distracted by this and was focused on the light, meanwhile the bazooka squad shot at the Ursa again actually killing it.

Burt walked back to his truck, having a weird feeling about this. He checked his trunk to see if his bomb squad was bored, but instead saw that they were gone. He turned to see that his group was actually with the bazooka squad, supporting with ammunition. He thought this was gonna be a good day after that attack, until he heard something, a Graboid howling in pain. Burt quickly grabbed a weapon and ran to where he heard the Graboid. When he reached his destination it was too late ... the great beast had metamorphosized into its next stage.

Author's Note

Nothing can beat guns. Nothing can beat Burt. Only one Graboid had metamorphosized ... for now.

Chapter 9: The End

The Shriekers came over and then they killed many ponies as Twilight was too sad, Burt was dead, and Braeburn being stupid and

Excuse me but why is this story so terrible?

----IN REAL LIFE----

"What do you mean 'terrible', it was good, it had death, adventure, and sadness, all of my favorite traits in a story." said Dr. Torture.

"Yeah, but it's too fast with no feeling." said Di-Al.

"OH YEAH, WELL ..." started Dr. Torture. Their fight went on for quite a while.

The End!!!

Author's Note

Thank you all for commenting, liking, and helping me with this story, but think of this as a preview story, not the real deal story if you wanna call it that. I'm gonna make the real story as soon as I can and i'm gonna take all of your advice. Thank you.

Warning, Warning, Author Report

For the time being, I am getting bored with regular stories and this one is the only completed one ever, so I'm gonna add something, an Easter egg if you will, on every story until it gets to the ultimate climax story ever, so watch out for it, it WILL surprise you.

Chapter 1: Missing

In the desert of Appaloosa, an earth pony was galloping away from what seemed like nothing. He ran until he tripped on a stump, he was almost to solid ground. Then he screamed as something pulled him underground. The screaming ceased as the great beast left the scene and into the desert to hunt for more food.

Later when the sun came up the citizens of Appaloosa went about their normal day except that somepony was missing. Another missing pony poster was set up that day.

"Well I'll be, another missing pony that went into the desert. That's the twentieth one this week. We gotta do somethin' about it. Hey,I know, let's get the princesses over here and we can sort this out." said The Sheriff.

"Like I said before, we can't, they're too busy. Wait, let's get the elements down here, what about that?" suggested an Appaloosan citizen.

The town cheered at this news, all except Braeburn. He was worried about his cousin Applejack. He thought 'what if she and the others get taken too?'

Out at the orchards were two foals, one a filly and another a colt.

"Hey Billy come over here,I found something." called out the filly, but Billy wouldn't move. He was looking at a specific apple tree. The filly came closer and saw something on the tree, but she couldn't see what it was. When she was close enough she saw another pony, one that looked all grayish and lifeless. The filly screamed her lungs out by this horrific sight. The town folk heard this and raced over to where they heard the noise. When they came, they were also horrified, one of the missing ponies was right here dead up an apple tree. They took the body down as the children were scared.

"Tell me doc, what done him in?" asked Braeburn.

"Well it looks like dehydration, been up there for three Weeks. Without water, that can kill you." answered the Doctor.

"Well there's no bodies around here, maybe it IS a creature taking everypony." Said the Sheriff.

The group then heard another chorus of screaming and a huge weird roar coming from the east side of the orchard. They ran and ran, but when they got there, there was only a hole and some severed limbs.

Author's Note

Aww yeah, finally got a Tremors story in this sight. You can kinda guess what the beast is if you have seen the movie "Tremors", I mean there is 4 movies about this AND a series.

Chapter 2: Ponyville

It was a normal day in Ponyville, well almost. All the citizens of Appaloosa were moving in, one by one. Applejack was talking to her cousin Braeburn, trying to figure out why all these ponies were settling in Ponyville.

"Well cuz Applejack, there's a beast out in the desert and orchards killing a whole bushel of ponies. When we went to check on the buffalo, all there was was ... was ... I can't say it, not while the children are here." explained Braeburn..

"Well why didn't you get the princesses or us, we could've beat that varmint out of there." Said Applejack.

"Well you don't understand, they are underground and the holes they make are buckin' huge." said Braeburn.

"Well they aren't around here are they?" asked Applejack in caution mode.

"No or else we wouldn't be here, they are staying in that darn desert, they live underground like worms, the holes are smooth-like." answered Braeburn.

"Ok, we might need to tell Twilight, she must have a Book about this." said Applejack.

Back at Appaloosa, all life was gone, not even bugs were there. A huge roar was heard as the dirt rose up in a line, heading towards Equestria. Three more followed the first and then scattered. One headed to the Changeling Kingdom, another to the Minotaur Kingdom, and the other two followed their prey into Equestria.

A passenger heading to Appaloosa was stopped dead in his tracks as one of the two dirts followed towards him. The pour earth pony ran for his life, making huge noise causing the second dirt to cut his path. The pony screamed as he was brought underground to his demise. Soon other ponies came to find the screaming, making it an easy buffet to the two underground beasts as they went towards their meal.

Author's Note

Ohhh yeah,I Lov dem graboids. Now you see where the plot comes in with something in the future.

Chapter 3: Explanations

"No no no no no no no no NO. There aren't any books to tell us what we're up against." exclaimed Twilight. She couldn't believe that a creature that sounded so dangerous and interesting was not recorded in history. Twilight was about to panic when Applejack came and tried to calm her down.

"It's ok Twi, not everything is solved with a book. Remember when you tried to help me when I couldn't accept your help, you never used a book, actually most of our adventures never needed a book. Say, how's that letter coming up Spike?" said Applejack.

Just then before Spike could even finish the letter, he burped another letter with the sun symbol on it. When the group read the letter, it read:

"Dear Twilight,

I need you and the other elements to come back to Canterlot and discuss an ancient evil that has resurfaced. Watch out for any dirt that follows you, they are not friendly.

Sincerely,

Celestia"

Now the group was scared, but Twilight obeyed and went to get the others. As this was happening, a pack of timber wolves were in a circle, protecting their young, making huge noise. The dirt rose up and then three tentacles came and attacked a timber wolf. Then another set of three tentacles took another wolf. Then in ten seconds all except for the pups were eaten. The pups stayed silent, making the two beasts leave in search of noisy prey.

Back in Ponyville, Twilight had gathered her friends to travel to travel to Canterlot. The train had entered the station and was taking in ponies.

"I wonder what the new evil is, what if it's a new draconiquus named Dr. Torture or maybe a pony with no face and wares a tux or a giant radioactive dinosaur named Godzilla." wondered Rainbow Dash.

"Maybe it's something that digs, Braeburn said it made huge holes. Maybe it is a huge worm or maybe it's a huge mole. I guess it might be a huge snake or something." Twilight suggested.

The girls went inside the train and rode it to Canterlot, but unknowing to the group, something was following them making the dirt rise and heading straight towards the train.

Author's Note

Go Tremors, YEAH. Yeah third chapter.

Chapter 8: Shrieker Night

Burt came back to his truck, entering it and putting it to full speed.

"Hey guys wat-" Burt started to say, only to see all his men, or what's left of it. He checked all around him, seeing nothing but trees. He checked his hood only to see that it had been ripped to shreds. Burt had only one option, gallop back to Ponyville. Burt ran and ran, keeping his weapon close. He saw another pony and saw that it was a survivor who sprayed himself with a fire extinguisher. Burt ran up to him only to see he was losing a foreleg, his right one to be exact.

"Shining Armor, what happened?" asked Burt.

"W-w-w-we were h-h-h-heading out to Ponyville. We w-w-w-were waiting on you. And then ... the screaming. The horrible screaming. They were everywhere, we tried to shoot em but they were fast. I-i-i-i remembered you saying ... don't let them see your body heat, conceal your body heat so ... I sprayed the others and myself. The others were careless and they foolishly showed their body heat. I sprayed myself some more. It wasn't fully effective. Tell Cadence, Twilight, mum and dad that I love them." answered Shining Armor before he fell, dead on the cold ground.

Burt couldn't believe it. He cautiously approached Ponyville. The Shriekers were hunting whatever gave off heat. The ruthless beasts were eating everything in their path, one actually stayed behind to see if it got everything. Burt stopped in hid tracks as he was 5 feet away from a Shrieker. The beast didn't notice Burt so he got the upper hand and shot the beast to its demise. The rest of the time was like a maze, trying to find prey and not be seen. Now Burt and the Shriekers went opposite ways. They were so close to a destination. The Shriekers found so much heat that it was a buffet ... of manticores. Burt made it to Ponyville and warned them of the beasts.

"So none of them made it back?" asked Twilight, looking sad. Burt just shook his head.

"Your brother also said that he loved you, Cadence, and his folks before he died." said Burt.

Twilight was now in tears, morning for her bbbff. Then a chorus of Shrieking was heard from where Burt had come from. It sounded like 20-30 Shriekers. The ponies were ready and at their stations. Burt had his gun aimed, and Twilight had her own weapon pointing at the area of heard shrieking. This was gonna be a noisy night.
