Roboteers are you ready!?
The Sentinel wakes
Previous ChapterMatilda landed in front of one of the most ornate buildings in the town. Everything about this place was sickeningly happy, every living thing seemed to smile, the colours were so overly vibrant and the architecture. Gingerbread houses? this place sickens me. Was Matlida's initial thought and would most likely make up all her following thoughts. Strangely, the streets were deserted save for one pony.
Razer was feeling fantastic. For the first time since he got here he was happy, none of his "friends" were there to nag him about smiling or being nice. Life was good. Razer began to whistle a happy tune, he knew he wouldn't be caught dead whistling but he felt like making the exception. Perhaps this place was rubbing off on him. nah. Razer dismissed the thought.
Matilda turned towards the lone pony and put on her best bedroom eyes. "Well well well....What's a strong stallion like you doing all alone?" Matilda's tone becoming once more flirtatious.
Razer looked up and noticed the griffon eyeing him up. "Oh...you know....things" Razer's voice taking a quiet dismissive tone.
Matilda moved over to Razer. "Now now...we can't have someone like you being all alone now can we?" Matilda's tail moved into a position ready to attack.
"It's fine really ma'am I just need some time alone." Razer attempted to push Matilda away.
"No its not fine.." Matilda's eyes looked over every inch of the stallion's body. "Just look at you. You shouldn't be Alo-YOU" Matilda noticed the mark on the stallion's flank.
Razer noticed how the griffon quickly backed away. "I look familiar to you?" Razer was a slight bit confused.
Matilda hissed. "I'd say we're quite well acquainted Razer!"
Razer put a hoof to his chin. "Hm......OH! Matilda? Is it you? Cause if it is it's time to leave." Razer cracked his neck.
Matilda laughed. "You think you can tell me what to do? By all means try and by all means fail." Matilda flew towards Razer, claws at the ready.
Razer flapped his wings and took to the sky. "Bring it Matilda!" Razer closed his wings and dive bombed towards Matilda.
Matilda brought her tail up in an attempt to slice the foolish stallion in half.
Razer knew better. With a few course corrections made and with nary a second to spare he managed to catch his fang on Matilda's tail, severing it.
Matilda screamed in pain, but she managed to hold her ground. Only one would leave here, even if it was Razer.
"Give up you stubborn mule?" Razer retorted with a chuckle.
"Mule!? You'll pay for that remark!" Matilda readied her claws and pounced.
Before Matilda could tear the egotistical bat pony apart there was a bright flash and Matilda was gone. Leaving Razer extremely confused. Matilda, wherever she was wasn't any more clued in than Razer though.
"You Idiotic Griffon! You nearly compromised my entire scheme by nearly getting yourself killed!" A Large pony cloaked by the shadows yelled.
"W-who are you?" Matilda said, all of her confidence and bravado having drained from her voice in an instant.
"You should know."
Chaos ran. She ran for what seemed like an eternity. After managing to disarm the huntsman she managed to get away into some of the more densely wooded area. Chaos had to be careful though if she made one sound she was dead. Eventually She came to a cave that seemed empty. The perfect hiding spot. Inside the cave was wet and fresh water dripped from the ceiling. The cave opened up past the initial entryway. The problem was that the cave wasn't empty. A massive grey dragon lay in the centre of the cave. Spikes ran across it's back from head to tail. It's claws were like those of a raptor. The dragon's eye shot open. The eye was pale with no colour not even a pupil. The dragon wasn't blind though it saw chaos and one word went through it's mind Kill That was it's goal and it would carry it out.
The Sentinel had awoken.
"I've told you everything and more! What else could you need to know!?" Tornado snapped in a tone similar to that of Razer's
"But are you 100%, without a doubt, no lies, your final answer that you don-" Twilight began
"For the one hundred and fiftieth time I don't know how we got here" Tornado was growing annoyed at the unicorn's constant questions.
"Alright alright....but are you sure?"
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Tornado screamed in frustration.
"Did I miss Tornado in pain?" Razer said walking into the library.
"Oh Razer how nice of you to rejoin us." Dominator said from the corner of the room.
"Anything fun happen while you were out? Huh? Huh?" The Gemini twins yelled in ever tiring unison.
"Well Matilda attacked."
Everyone of the ex-robots gasped.
"But then she disappeared in a flash of light."
Then they all sighed.
"Wait!" Twilight spoke up. "Disappeared in a flash of light? Quite a few ponies have been reported missing and vanishing in a similar fashion as of recent.
"How recent?" Firestorm butted into the conversation.
"As recent as a few days ago, there were news stories about missing ponies and mysterious noises under the sea. I personally think that the two are connec-" There was a bright light and Twilight was nowhere to be seen.
The crowd cheered, not of choice but because they were forced to. If not they would be next in the ring. "Ladies and gentle-colts please welcome your host....The knight of carnage himself!"
A large shadowy figure walked onto a balcony overlooking an arena. "Tonight! my lovely audience. Here where the destruction never stops we have quite the match for you tonight. A newly crowned princess and a new combatant to the arena. Vs an esteemed representative of the griffon kingdom and current fan favourite GILDA! Now let the Mayhem begin..." The figure bowed and walked back into the shadows.
