Band of Five Attributes (Re-Written)

The flying things overhead began firing what could best be described as balls of pure electricity at the monster, but they were hitting everything else the behemoth had to offer. The thing noticed the annoyances above and merely scoffed at their pitiful attempts to do damage. Its horn began glowing again, and it smiled wickedly.

“Ten thousand yen says whatever the fuck’s flying up there has no clue what they’re doing.” Yuuki remarked, eye twitching as she watched the sight.

“Koko, koko. [Here, here.]” Rekka agreed, nodding. A rising urge to punch himself in the face with his hoof was boiling over, only to diminish once he remembered the fact that one of his legs was useless. His eyes narrowed at that fact alone.

The flying things above were all stopped mid-air, held by a crimson glow corresponding to the horn of the monster.

“Hōn wa dono yō ni seikō o hataraite imasu ka?! Darekaga watashi ni itte ki ni?! [How the fuck do horns work?! Someone mind telling me!?]” Rekka yodeled, on the verge of gritting his teeth and carrying out with something revolving around curse words and his mouth. His eyes narrowed further.

The monster then threw the flying things into the alleyway, causing all to fall onto their bellies and backsides when said flying things, which were more armored white pegasi, grey unicorns and chariots made for aviation, collided with them.

“Fakkufakkufakkufakkufakku! [Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!]” Rekka hissed as he tried and failed to shove the armored pegasus who landed on him away. Sadly, his attempts to do so were futile, much more pitiful than moving a boulder with the very point of the ear alone. Whilst scuba diving.

Yuuki had a much easier time worming her way out of underneath a couple of pegasi, though she was now in quite a bit of pain considering one landed on her backside. Blade simply had to yank his supporting stick out of under another one, and the horned officers merely levitated the out-cold ponies to a small pile.

The red stallion was trying to stand up on his aching and wobbly legs, and began to panic when he noticed that his bullet wound was still bleeding, and his eyes widened instantly. Any words he could produce now were incoherent and slurred, almost as if he had gone mad or something.

The monster aimed its tommy gun at the lot in the alley, who now looked up at the sight and gulped hard.

“Yep, we’re definitely fucked.” Yuuki said, gulping hard again as her ears fell flat on her head. She failed to notice still more flying shapes overhead, once more circling the monster as if they were flies.

That was when another bolt of spherical electricity was fired from one of them. It hit the monster right on the pearl of its hat, causing it to roar in pain and recoil in shock. It even withdrew its tommy gun to use it as a makeshift flyswatter.

The things dodged, and another bolt was fired. Again, it hit the pearl and the monster roared in rising pain and boiling fury. It continued to swat at the things above its head, not knocking a single one down.

Then some more flying things showed up, also firing bolts of electricity as though it were nothing. The monster roared in pain as hit after hit began taking its toll.

“Nine...ten….eleven…” Blade counted aloud, watching the spectacle unfold. A few more bolts of fury were fired at the beast. “Fifteen...sixteen…”

The monster’s pearl began cracking. Another hit landed on it, and the crack grew larger. “Seventeen…”

Another hit, and all below the ground could see the widening crack. “Eighteen…”

Another sphere of fury landed, and the pearl looked about ready to collapse on itself at this point. “Nineteen…”

And another hit landed. This time, the pearl completely broke into a thousand or so pieces. The monster roared one last time before it began to fall towards the group in the alley. Before it could impact with anything, however, it vanished into thin air along with the pearl fragments scattered about. The unicorns in police uniform quickly trotted over to the red stallion who was now trying to stop the bleeding with his ribbons, letting his mane and tail descend in the process.

The ponies who were unconscious slowly woke up, finding themselves in a pile and sauntering their way out of it. They then saw the other group in the alleyway, and a few unicorns with glowing horns looking at the wounded stallion. The figures in the sky flew away, and so did the armored pegasi after they snapped out of their daze.

“We kinda need to head to the hospital right about now.” Yuuki pointed out, worry lingering in her voice. Her ears were still flat on her skull.

“No shit, Sherlock.” Replied a unicorn, his tone of voice lingering with hints of anger. He turned to his fellow officers. “Take the bald stallions for questioning, and immediately.”

The other officers immediately complied, with the unicorns levitating the bald ponies off the ground and taking them with as they walked out of the alleyway. Then, the last officer went with in a hurry, leaving the armored ponies, purple mare, three-legged unicorn, and injured red stallion alone.

Yuuki sighed as if annoyed. “That could’ve gone better.” She hissed, eyes narrowing.

“We’ll deal with them later.” Spoke one of the armored unicorns as he and his platoon of sorts approached the hurt stallion. “Right now, there’s a much more important matter to deal with.” With that, a horn lit up and very carefully lifted the stallion off of the ground with a light gold aura. Another gold aura encompassed Yuuki and Blade before a blinding light flashed in the eyes of all.

When it faded, all were now standing in front of a set double doors made from glass. Above it was a great red cross and the words “Manehatten Hospital.”

“Is this what we’re looking for? I cannot read what I think are words under the cross.” Yuuki said, sighing.

“It is indeed a hospital. We’ll tell the doctors it’s an emergency case.” Replied one of the guards as all proceeded to trot (or learn how to fly without wings, in Rekka’s case) into the area beyond the doors.

The doctors inside were bewildered when the ponies burst in, one of whom was being held off the ground by a golden aura.

“Treat this stallion immediately, he has a wound in his leg that is bleeding nonstop!” Bellowed one of the grey unicorns angrily, staring right at one of the doctors who also had a horn on his head.

The doctor who was currently being stared at looked towards a nurse. “Get me a gurney.” He said, and the nurse nodded before running off down a hallway. He then turned back and trotted up to the floating stallion. “And just where are you from? I could’ve sworn I've never seen a pony quite like you before.”

“I….uh….um…” Rekka stuttered, ears flat on his head and eyes wide as can be. He was sweating profusely at this point.

The doctor then noticed the makeshift wrappings on the wounded leg, and his horn lit up. The wrappings came off with ease, and a roll of fresh gauze floated to the wound before unraveling and wrapping itself around the leg.

“It hurts!” Rekka cried, eyes now scrunched shut from the pain. He forced himself to grit his teeth in order to avoid cursing.

“I know it does.” The doctor replied as the wrappings tightened around the wound.

Outside the building watching this unfold from a window, a unicorn with a golden orange pelt and short crimson mane witnessed the wounded pony as he was carefully loaded onto a gurney. The unicorn was cursing to his heart’s content under his breath, red eyes glinting maliciously as if plotting for something else.
