YhaY: Judgment Day
CH5: Rapey Dolphins
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs the sun began to set in the horizon, Johan and Apollo arranged a small room in the crashed ship. It's only light source was now a small, broken window.
"Now" Said Johan "You are going to tell us all zat you know about zis place, or else, you are going to learn a lot about hell first hand."
"First things first" Said Apollo "What's your name?"
The pegasus, bound in ropes taken from the ship's cargo bay, kept his mouth (snout?) shut.
Johan quickly grabbed his pocket knife and put it's edge to one of his wings, removing any and all willingness to resist from the pegasus.
"Ve vill ask again. Vat. Is. Your. Name?"
The stallion whimpered a bit before answering.
"Ch...Chainmail"
"Is that your codename?" Inquired Apollo.
"N-no, that's my name, Chainmail."
Apollo spun the thought around in his head for a bit, then decided it didn't realy matter.
"Alright, I gather that humans here aren't intelligent, correct?"
Chainmail nodded his head.
"Alright, and I suppose that you horses-"
"Ponies" He corrected.
Johan inched his knife closer to Chainmail's wing. "Does he look like he gives a shit?" He asked.
Chainmail shook his head nervously.
"Anyway, I assume you ponies domesticated these humans, right?"
He nodded again.
"I see, what uses do they serve you?"
Chainmail nervously looked left and right, as if he was pretending not to have heard the question.
"I understand you zink ve'll be angry if you tell us" Said Johan. "But ve vill be even angrier if you don't."
Chainmail took in a deep breath he didn't know he needed.
"In Epona, humans are used by all species as farm animals, pets, work animals, food, and..."
"Yes?" Inquired Apollo. "And...?"
"....Sex"
The moment that one word escaped the pegasus's lips, Apollo felt his rage rise to it's highest since he came here. And then, after a few seconds, it was gone. He'd learned to control it over the years.
Taking in a deep breath, Apollo continued his questioning.
"You said "all species", how many more species are there?"
Chainmail blinked, for a second there he thought he was about to meet his maker.
"Umm... there are us ponies, we recide in Equestria. There's also the griffons from Aevia, the minotaurs from Gaia, the dragons from Ragnarok, the donkeys, who are nomadic, the buffalos from the plains of Appleloosa, the diamond dogs from Felis, and the dolphins from Pacifica"
Apollo and Johan both raised their eyebrows at that last one.
"How can dolphins use humans?" asked Apollo "Don't they live underwater?"
"They do, but they use a sub-breed of humans called mermen. They're also the only race who use humans exclusively for sex"
"Should've fucking known" He muttered to himself "We're getting off track, what can you tell me about the ponies?"
"Well..." He began "There are four kinds of ponies: Earth ponies, pegasi, unicorns and alicorns. The latter of which there are only four. Earth ponies are especially strong, pegasi can fly, unicorns can use magic, and alicorns are a mix of all three, but on much higher levels."
"Alright, what level of technology do you have?"
Chainmail smiled "We're the most technologically advanced species out there! We could out-progress any nation in the world!"
"Really?" Asked Johan "Vat's ze most recent zing you have invented?"
"About 4 months ago, we invented a garnet you can wear on your snout to correct bad vision! We call it the eyeglass."
Apollo stopped, blinked, and then broke out into histerical laughter along with Johan. As they rolled on the floor, sides aching, the pony wondered just what was so funny.
"He- hey, look at *gasp* look at me, I invented the eyeglass i'm so adva-hahahAHAHAHAHAAAAH!!!" Apollo managed to get out before continuing his laughing fit.
"Oh mein Gott. Meine Seiten! Mein verdammtes Seiten!" Johan choked out.
After about three or four minutes of uncontrollable laughter, Apollo and Johan found themselves back in their places, mocking grins stilled plastered on their mouths.
"Ohhh, excuse us for zat little moment, ve just couldn't process how pazetic yet grandiose zis entire planet is. Because if ponies are ze most advanced race in here, and zeir most recent invention is ze eyeglass" Johan said as he put the tip of his handgun to Chainmail's head. "Zen ve von't be needing your info anymore, all of you are truly and rightfully fucked!"

Blueblood was interrupted from his little reunion by a loud noise proceeding from the Everfree Forest. Out of curiosity, he tightened his magical grip on Towhead's collar and headed outside, where he saw a guard addresing a conglomeration of concerned citizens.
"Please stay calm, we can assure you that we have the situation under control!" Said the guard.
"First it was the huge metal bird, now we're hearing loud noises without no clue as to what made them!" Protested a middle aged stallion in the crowd "If you really DO have it under control, then tell us what "it" is!"
"We've already sent a squadron of guards to address the issue, they should be back soon with a full report."
"What if it's a monster?" Pondered out loud a young mare "Are you gonna sit by while monsters threaten the town?!"
"There ARE no monsters! Please go back to your regular routines!"
The scene went on for a while, as one citizen after another made up a completely ridiculous theory and took it for fact. Blueblood watched on with intrigue until, sudenly, Towhead ran off towards the Everfree, catching Blueblood off guard and breaking his magical hold on her leash.
After waking up from his stupor, Blueblood trotted after Towhead like there was no tomorrow, ignoring the fact that he was entering Epona's most dangerous forest.

"Remind me again why I'm stuck with you buffoons?" Asked Gasman.
"Because fornicate thee, that is why!" Replied Dropbearius.
"I'd think it has something to do with the fact that we're all stuck in a city with talking horses who think we're someone's pets." Added Pitka
"I have to agree with Pitka here" Intervened Faustin. "It isn't every day that you end up in a city of mythical proportions along with four strangers!"
"Here here" Added Alexander.
"You know" started Pitka "Since we found you, the only things you've said have been "no", "yes", "maybe" and "here here""
"I don't like to talk." Said Alexander "It's unnecessary."
An awkward silence reigned over the group as they walked further into the sewers. Until Faustin spoke up.
"What exactly are our plans? We still don't know what we are to do!"
"There's five of us here, there's bound to be more." Replied Pitka "I suggest we keep going until we find the city border, then look for someone who knows something about this place."
"That's the most logical sentence that's come out of this little ensamble" Commented Gasman.
"Oh, silence thy harlote tongue, boy!" Reprimanded Dropbearius.
"This is gonna be one of those days, isn't it?" Thought Alexander

I was awoken by a strong vibration. When I stepped out of my dorm, I noticed that my crew was nowhere to be seen. I looked out through the Renegade's main window, only to find that I was no longer traversing Sector 401, but rather, the Renegade was decending into the atmosphere of a planet that I'm certain was not supposed to be there. I tried to take direct control of the Renegade, only to find that her energy was completely drained, not a single electronic system was working. In a desperate attempt to evade a most painful death, I gathered my survival kit and utilized the Renegade's orbital skydiving module to land safely in an area that weren't too far away from the predicted crash-landing site.
The moment I landed, I lost consciousness. Approximately five hours later, I woke up and started up the digital map in my multi-purpose wristband. Surely enough, this planet isn't registered in any known star sector. I have no choice but to explore the wilderness of this planet as I head back to the crash site.
I can only hope for the best.
