Equestrian Requiem; A Hero's Return
Chapter 4: Wooden Wolves
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI was dragged through the town square like a rag doll before we finally stopped in an ally way.
“Alright, would someone mind telling me who you girls are and what the fuck is going on?!” I asked, pulling my arm out of the Cowgirls strong grip.
“Twi, you mind filling him in?” The Cowgirl said, sticking her head out of the alley to make sure we weren't followed.
“Alright,” The dark purpled haired girl with a lighter purple coloured shirt said, turning to face me. "Ok, my name is Twilight Sparkle. Now this might be hard to believe but me and my friends are here to protect you.”
“Protect me? From what?” I asked skeptically. “That bull headed guy? Because give me a real sword and shield to make it a far fight and I can take him myself.”
“It’s not just him you have to worry about. He may have brought-” Twilight said but was interrupted by low growl. “Uh oh!” She said as two of what looked like wolves made out of sticks with glowing green eyes stepped out of the shadows.
“What the fuck are those things?” I asked backing up.
“Timber Wolves!” The girl with long pink hair and wearing a yellow shirt with yellow wings sticking out of them said sacredly.
“Be careful. Timber Wolves tend to travel in-” The cow girl said as we slowly backed out of the ally only to hear more growling from behind us. “Packs.” She said as we turn around to find three more flacking us.
The girls formed a tight circle around me, the cow girl had her hands up ready to punch any of the wolves that dared get any closer. Twilight and another girl with violet hair and a white shirt hand their hands up but theirs were glowing. The girl with long pink hair was cowering inside the circle beside me. And a girl with out of control pink hear, wearing an equally pink shirt was holding a pink hand grenade.
“Pinkie, where did you get a hand grenade?” Twilight asked looking over at her friend.
“I don’t know.” The Pink haired girl said, which for some reason was good enough for the rest of them.
Before anyone could do anything one of the wooden wolves suddenly lunged forward.
“MITTSU NO TAIFU!” A male voice yelled right before the wolf burst into a pile of ticks.
“What the?” Twilight asked before noticing a boy holding two wooden Katanas in his hands and one in his mouth standing a few feet from where the timber wolf once stood.
“EEEEEEEEEEEEEYAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEYA!!” A female voice yelled as a girl wearing Xena like armor flipped into the circle of wolves and cut one in half with a wooden Roman Gladius Sword.
“It’s not nice to gang up on people!” A large, muscular boy, with gigantism said destroying a wolf with a large wooden Final Fantasy esk broadsword.
“What the hay going on?” AJ asked.
“I’m still processing the Minotaur. I’m going to have to get back to you on this one.” I said looking around.
“Lower thine guard and thou'rt allowing the enemy in.” A girl with brunet hair wearing medieval chainmail armor said taking out one of the timber wolves with a wooden replica of The Master Sword.
“Oh give it a rest sis.” A red head wearing similar armor said taking out the last wolf with her dual wooden Dao Swords.
“Twilight!” The Rainbow haired girl from earlier said as she swooped down and landed in front of us.
“Onii-Chan!” I heard my sister call as she and my mom where lead over to the group by a boy with brown hair, paint ball armor and holding a single wooden Katana in front of him.
“Emma!” I said crouching down to give her a hug.
“What’s going on?” My mom asked.
“If I find out I’ll tell you.” I said shrugging.
“Rainbow!” Twilight said as her friend walked up to her.
“There has been a change of plan. We are going to need to take these guys with us.” Rainbow said looking at the piles of sticks.
“Why, what happened?” She asked.
“Well, though I hate to admit it, the Minotaur was tougher than I thought. He managed to knock me back and broke the sword before going after his mom and sister.” She said gesturing to my mom and sister. “Then these guys stepped in and help beat him back before he fled.”
“Well we can’t just level them here they could become targets again.” The girl with long pink hair and yellow shirt said looking over at me and my family.
“Hey you’re the other contestants from the tournament.” I said walking over to them well the strange girls discuses what to do next.
“Yep, the names Zorro, my parents where big Antonio Banderas fans.” The boy with the three wooden swords said rubbing the back of his head.
“I’m Jacob,” The large boy said extending his hand and resting his broadsword on his shoulder.
“Nice to meet you-Ah!” I said as he accidentally crushed my hand when he shook it.
“Sorry,” He said worriedly.
“It’s ok.” I said rubbing it.
“Anyway I’m Sara and this is my sister Kim.” The girl with brunet hair and wooden replicas of The Master Sword and Hylian Shield said introducing herself and her sister
“Whatever,” The red haired girl said crossing her arms.
“I’m Hayley,” The girl with dark blond hair and the Xena esk armor said.
“And I’m Ron.” The boy with the single Katana introducing said himself. “Do you have any idea what’s going on?”
“To be honest I think I’m being punk’d.” I said looking at him.
“That would explain a lot.” Sara said looking around.
“Then again we’re from Detroit, so we’ve see a lot weirder.” Zorro said shrugging.
“Looks like we have no choice. We'll have to take them with us now.” Twilight said suddenly.
“Right,” AJ said nodding. “Alright, y’all follow us now.” She said turning to face us.
Shrugging, we all began to follow the six strange girls back into the alleyway. After a few minutes we came to a dead end.
“Ok now what?” I asked looking at the wall. Twilight and the other girl with purple hair then did a Fullmetal Alchemist type ground pound and a rainbow archway appeared in the wall. “Da fuq?” I said looking at it.
“Sorry about this.” AJ said from behind me.
“About what?” I asked starting to turn around before being hit on the back of the head and falling into unconsciousness.
