Chapter 8 A New Plan

Isaac walks up beside Thunderstorm.

“Get away human.” Thunderstorm says.

“I realize you don’t like me but look around at your world.” “It is being torn apart and I’m one of the only ones who can help you.” “We need to work together or you’ll lose everything.” “Including her.” He says and points to Rainbow Dash.

Thunderstorm looks at her.

She smiles at him.

Thunderstorm looks at Isaac.

“Ok Isaac…you win.” Thunderstorm says.

“I lost the one I loved.” “I don’t want to see that happen again.” “So first tell me who you are?” Isaac says.

“I’am king Thunderstorm Rising.” “The son of Princess Luna and the Dark King Darkstar.” “I’am the king of both Equestria and Dark Pony Territory.” “I’am also the protector of Equestria.” Thunderstorm says.

“Then I’ve met the right pony.” “We need to take out their markers in order to save your planet.” Isaac says.

“We’re trying to find survivors.” David says.

“Any survivor will be killed before you find them.” “It’s hopeless to try to find one.” “We need to strike now.” Isaac says.

“It won’t be easy to get there.” “It’s all the way out there somewhere outside of the Crystal Empire and that’s pretty far away.” Thunderstorm says.

“Yeah.” “We got a lot of miles to cover.” David says.

“Let’s move then.” Isaac says.

“You heard him!” “Move!!” Thunderstorm says.

4 miles later.

“Have any of you had any hallucinations?” Isaac says.

Thunderstorm and David raise their hoofs.

“I have it to.” “Just keep fighting it and you’ll…” Isaac says.

A small creature jumps onto Isaac’s back and starts tearing at him.

“aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!” He screams.

SHING!! SHING!!

Thunderstorm cuts its head off and cuts it in half.

It falls off of Isaac.

“Thanks.” Isaac says.

“Don’t mention it.” Thunderstorm says.

“A pack which means…” David says.

More jump out of the trees.

“…There’s more!!” “Oh shit!!” David says.

“Isn’t that Cheryl, Berryllee, Sandstorm, and Sourcan?” Thunderstorm says.

“No.” “It’s just their bodies.” David says.

They jump on Isaac and tear at him.

“Shoot!!” “Shoot!!” “Shoot damn it!!!” Thunderstorm says.

“I’am shooting!!!” David says.

Thunderstorm pulls out his plasma cutter and aims at Cheryl’s head.

POW!!!

She falls off of Isaac and crawls towards him.

POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!!

He shoots her arms and legs off. She stops moving.

“There…I got them.” David says.

Isaac’s health bar blinks red.

“Don’t you have some med kits?” Thunderstorm says.

“No…I used….them all.” Isaac says.

“Oh.” Thunderstorm says and hoofs Isaac a med kit.

Isaac uses it.

“Thanks…again.” He says.

“Don’t mention it…again.” Thunderstorm says and they both laugh.

“How can you both be laughing at a time like this?!!” David says.

“Good point.” Thunderstorm says.

David smiles.

“Thank you.” He says.

We…need…to…..keep……..moving.” Isaac says.

BOOM!!!

Isaac faints.

“Uh oh.” David says.

“Ah buck.” Thunderstorm says.

“Is that Scootaloo?” Sweetie Belle says.

They all look.

Scootaloo runs out of the bushes and stops in front of Thunderstorm.

“N…No.” “Not my little girl.” “They already killed her…they didn’t have to do this to her.” Thunderstorm says.

Tears appear in his eyes.

“Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!” She roars and runs at him.

Thunderstorm holds her out at hoofs length.

She swats at him.

“My little girl.” Thunderstorm says.

“It’s not her anymore Thunder.” “Put her body to rest.” Rainbow Dash says.

Tears go down his cheeks.

“But it’s our daughter.” He says.

“It was our daughter.” “Our daughter is dead she deserves to have her body be at rest.” “Please Thunder.”Rainbow Dash says.

“I’m so sorry baby girl.” He says.

SHING!!

He cuts her in half.

She falls down dead.

Thunderstorm closes his eyes tight.

Tears pouring out.

Rainbow Dash hugs him.

Tears in her eyes.

“I had to kill my own children and you don’t see me crying.” David says.

SMACK!!

Fluttershy smacks him.

David rubs his cheek.

“Ow.” “I’ll shut up.” David says.

Fluttershy looks at Thunderstorm and Rainbow Dash.

“I always pictured seeing Scootaloo doing professional stunts one day and wowing everypony.” “Heh.” “Seeing her smiling as the crowd is awed by her amazing stunts.” “Thunder and Rainbow Cheering her on from the stands.” Twilight says.

Applejack smiles.

“Heh…yeah.” “I always pictured working side by side with Applebloom on the farm.” “Laughing and cuttin up.” “Just havin a real good ole time.” “Being introduced to her stallion and bein an aunt.” “That will never happen now.” “I can still hear her giggle.” “It haunts my dreams.” She says.

“Thunder told me that Scootaloo haunts his.” “You’re not alone.” Twilight says.

“I know.” Applejack says.

Isaac wakes up.

“Wow.” “I hate dimensia.” He says.

“We all do.” David says.

“What happened here?” Isaac says.

“Don’t ask.” “Let’s just move on.” David says.

“Ok.” Isaac says.

They all follow Isaac except for Thunderstorm.

He kisses Scootaloo’s cheek.

“I love you baby girl.” “I hope you can hear me.” He says and catches up to the others.

Her body catches on fire.
