Warcraft is Magic
The Beach
Previous ChapterNext ChapterLyra excitedly packed her saddle bag: sunscreen, snacks, bucket, shovel, and a book. Today Vinny had promised her that they would go to the beach for a vacation, and she wanted to be prepared. Bon Bon, however, was against the hole idea.
“Lyra please don't go. You know I don't trust that little green thing. Remember what happened last time you two went out together?”
“I don't think there will be a Cockatrice at the beach today Bon Bon.” Lyra sighed.
“You never know, remember what happened to Sunray.”
“Exactly my point!”
“Bon Bon we will be fine; what's the worst that could happen?”
“You could get attacked by and Ursa Major!”
“Bon Bon, what are the odds of that happening?”
Two explosive rounds tore through the air and impacted on the Ursa’s upper torso, knocking it off balance. The explosive rounds were quickly followed by a Black Bullet [1]. The round found its mark at the very center of the beasts forehead, sending poison that quickly spread through its veins. The Ursa let out a ferocious roar, it should have been unconscious by now but it was obvious the poison had no effect.
It charged at full speed, only to meet four blunt rounds[2]. They struck in a square pattern on the beast's throat causing it to stop its charge. The Ursa rose on its back legs ready to stomp the gunner into oblivion when a single round struck it in the heart the round stuck in the monsters skin and injected a powerful sedative[3], within seconds the Ursa was asleep only feet away from Vinny and Lyra.
“What ever you do, don't tell Bon Bon.”
Five Hours Earlier
Vinny and Lyra arrived at a large lake directly under Cloudsdale at ten in the morning; the sun was beautiful today, and the lake was calm. But most importantly, there was no pony around.
A rather large beach ball struck vinny in the head, knocking him over.
“Hey toss it back will you?” Several ponies came running up the beach to get their ball back. Spoke too soon.
Vinny picked up the ball and tossed it to a unicorn in the group; he grabbed it with a levitation spell and thanked them. “Hey thanks little dude!”
The rest of the group started to head off, except for one of the Pegasi he glided over to Lyra and stuck up a conversation, “Hey there cutie.”
Much to Vinnys disbelieve, she responded, “Hey.”
“Listen, we're just about to go get some Pizza. You wanna go with me?”
“Sure, I'd love to go. Come on Vinny.” Reluctantly Vinny followed them. Lyra and the Pegasus were walking side by side the entire time all the while the Pegasus wings were brushing along Her flank. Each time they did Lyra would jump a little.
“Wait.” Vinny thought “That bastard is getting hoovesy with Lyra!” He pulled out his gun and aimed at the Pegasi. He was only going to fire a warning shot, but before he could, Lyra turned and glared at him. He put away his gun and continued walking. When they got to the restaurant She pulled Him aside.
“Were you going to shoot my coltfriend?” she questioned with concern.
“No I was only going to graze him... wait, boyfriend you just met the guy.”
“O crap I forgot, I was supposed to tell you; I asked my coltfriend Slipstream if he wanted to meet up with us today.”
“I thought he was just some punk getting hoovesy with his wings. I swear, if I had known I wouldn't have tried to shoot him.”
“I know, but what if you did shoot and you accidentally hit him?”
Vinny tilted his head “I don't miss. Ever.”
“Fine, but don't bring the gun out.”
“Okay.”
Vinny followed Lyra to the table Slipstream and his friends was sitting at; they had already gotten several pizzas and were chowing down.
“Sweet grub, I'm starving” He hopped up onto the seat and looked at the food. “Wait, where is the pepperoni?”
“What's that?” the unicorn that caught the ball asked.
“Crap, I forgot you Ponies don't eat meat.” Vinny hung his head. “Gods miss meat.”
“You...” Slipstream began “Eat meat?” He was visibly shaken.
Vinny opened his mouth and pulled back his lips to show his row of spiked teeth. “These ain't daisy crushers.” Slipstream began to shrink into His seat. “Calm down, I don't eat ponies.”
“What meat do you eat?” Lyra asked.
“Well mostly fish, but sometimes I can get my hands on some bacon.” His mouth began to water, “I love bacon.”
“What's bacon?” Before he could answer, the door of the restaurant burst open and several burly Pegasi entered.
They scanned the room till their eyes rested on the table Slipstream and his buddies were sitting at. They trotted over and glared down at them.
“This is our table,” the big one grunted while glaring down at the party.
“Well we're sitting here.” Vinny retorted.
“Well little green thing, if you're still sitting here in the next five seconds something bad is going to happen.
*Click*
“And if you don't back off your head is going to be separated from your body.” Vinnys gun was now firmly pressed against the lower jaw of the large Pony.
“What..What is that?”
“It’s called a gun, it fires large pieces of metal faster than the eye can see, and at this range there's no chance of me missing. Not like range has any effect on my aim, mind you.”
“Oh yeah? Well why should I be scared of that? It just looks like a hunk of metal!”
Vinny pulled the gun away from his jaw and fired into the roof; two beams of light now lit the dingy corner of the restaurant they were in. He pointed the gun at the Pony's head again. “How do you like the skylight?”
The large Pony ran out of the restaurant full bore, followed by his companions. Vinny, all the while, was laughing his ass off; he turned to the rest of the table and saw Lyra facehoofing.
“I thought I said don't bring the gun out.”
“They threatened me, you saw it!” He stabbed a slice of pizza with the guns bayonet and brought it to his face. Besides, I was using low impact rounds. It would have only given him a concussion.”
After lunch Slipstream and his friend went back to work, leaving Lyra and Vinny to themselves for the rest of the day.
“Hey Lyra, watch this.” Vinny had attached the rockets from his belt to the bottom of his boots. He ignited the fuse and was launched into the sky, unfortunately he was headed towards the jungle instead of the lake.
“OH SHIT!” were the last words Lyra heard him say before he disappeared into the forest.
“OH SHIT!” Lyra looked back up and saw Vinny being launched through the air landing only a few feet from her.
He popped up from the sand and drew his rifle training it on the forest.
“Vinny what happened? One second you were going this way then the next you were over here?”
“Well I landed on something big pink and hairy, and it wasn't Patrick's bellybutton.”
“What?”
The forest exploded as a large pink star bear charged at Vinny.
“Oh Celestia! It’s an Ursa!”
“No shit, sherlock.” Vinny leveled his gun and fired.
Two explosive rounds tore through the air and impacted on the Ursa’s upper torso, knocking it off balance. The explosive rounds were quickly followed by a Black Bullet [1]. The round found its mark at the very center of the beasts forehead, sending poison that quickly spread through its veins. The Ursa let out a ferocious roar, it should have been unconscious by now but it was obvious the poison had no effect.
It charged at full speed, only to meet four blunt rounds[2]. They struck in a square pattern on the beast's throat causing it to stop its charge. The Ursa rose on its back legs ready to stomp the gunner into oblivion when a single round struck it in the heart the round stuck in the monsters skin and injected a powerful sedative[3], within seconds the Ursa was asleep only feet away from Vinny and Lyra.
“What ever you do, don't tell Bon Bon.”
“Whatever.” He walked over the unconscious Ursa and kicked its nose. “Imma call you Fluffy.”
[1]Black arrow but a bullet
[2]Concussive shot deals no damage but stuns the enemy.
[3] Wyvern Sting puts target to sleep for undetermined amount of time
(A/N Im going off the assumption that Ursas change color from blue to purple and maybe pink is in there somewhere sue me if you want)
