Death City

I'm back with another update of this story. Sadly, I'm not feeling so good. On the news the other day I heard about this guy killing a few women and using their flesh to make pastries and selling them to the town. The first thing that popped into my mind, CUPCAKES. For all you bronies and pegasisters who've seen Srgnt Sprinkles version of cupcakes, you'll know what I'm talking about. Now, on with the story.

Chapter 10 – A New Friend For Pinkie

“HE WHAT?!” Pinkie screamed.

“I'm telling you, this is the honest truth.” Snake replied. He had just finished telling the gang about what he had observed in Twilights library. How Spectrum was part of this.

“So, what should we do now?” Rainbow asked. “Should we continue on and go save Dusk, or should we confront Spectrum until he spills the beans about what's really going on.”

“It's too late to do that now.” Thunder barked, “We're already here.” He said, while extending a hoof towards the sight in front of him. The shuttle launcher heading towards the Ark was laid in front of the entire group to see. No longer were they in the Everfree forest anymore, but in a grassy field filled with plants and animals. All the gang could do was gasp as they began to look up on how long the shuttle launcher really was. It extended to a point to where nopony could see any further. The sun began to slowly set in the distance, implying that night fall would soon cover the land.

“Lets hurry up while we still can.” Twilight mentioned. “We don't have much time.” As the group began galloping towards the shuttle launcher, they were puzzled on how it truly worked. A large glass tube surrounded the area and in the center was something that resembled to a particle cannon.

“What the fudge?” Pinkie said aloud, causing everypony to look at her with a blank expression. “How does this contraption even work?”

“Fluttershy” Twilight screamed, searching around the group for Fluttershy. “How are we supposed to use this thing?” She asked, locating Fluttershy in the back.

“Here,” She said in a calm, yet serious voice. “Let me go first.” Nopony had ever seen Fluttershy be so brave and courageous before. She was often known for going last at everything, but this time she volunteered to go first.

Fluttershy had opened the clear glass door blocking her from the shuttle launcher. After being stuck inside, she made her way towards the particle cannon in the center of the small dome. Just by stepping over the beam with her front hoof, she was instantly gone. Gasps were soon heard from the gang as the watched Fluttershy disappear in the blink of an eye.

“W-what h-happened?” Applejack questioned. “W-where did she go?”

“I don’t know.” Twilight responded. “This doesn’t make any sense. Whoever built this transporter must have really gone overboard.”

“Well, you guys know what we have to do.” Snake added. With that, he dove through the door leading towards the cannon, and soon was gone. The rest of the group soon began to follow. Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Twilight, Thunder Ice, Raymond, till Pinkie Pie was the last one left. She had no clue what was going on and didn’t want to risk instant death by being teleported by the shuttle launcher. She also didn’t want to be known as a chicken by the rest of her friends so she did what her heart told her to do. She charged. As Pinkie approached the shuttle launcher, she soon realized that she was also carrying the unconscious Rarity on her back. She didn’t know if the teleporter worked for more than one pony at a time, but it was too late to turn back. Once Pinkie Pie had reached the teleporter, everything had gone black. It seemed to her that time and space had just suddenly stopped for her.

Suddenly, her vision had just came back. It slowly began to clear up and come into focus. As she looked around, she saw that she was alone, all by herself. Pinkie had found that she was in a metallic hallway filled with corridors around every corner. No windows could be found anywhere. She began to question herself if she was really on the Ark right now. It soon hit her that she was alone. None of her friends were with her. She then began to think that they got dropped off at different sections of the Ark. This began to scare Pinkie. Fluttershy had told them before that the Ark was one hay of a massive place. Even the guards who lived there sometimes got lost in the endless hallways. She wondered if she could ever make it out alive or even find any of her friends at the moment. Soon, the sound of hoofsteps trotting down the hallway rang in Pinkies ear. The sound began getting louder and louder, informing Pinkie Pie that one of the guards was coming her way. She knew she had to get out of there, before they found her, before it was too late. Pinkie had done the first thing that had came to mind, she galloped silently in the opposing direction, avoiding the security guard closing in on her. No matter how fast she ran, the guard chasing after her had been faster than her. She had decided to take a look behind her to see if she had known the pony chasing her but it was pointless. There was barely enough light in the Ark to see anything. Son enough, Pinkie Pie had felt a hard surface collide in with her body. She had just came face first into a wall. As she turned around, she began to shrivel against the wall, knowing that she was in a dead end and there was no escape.

“NO, PLEASE!” She screamed. “HAVE MERCY ON ME!” Pinkie Pie began to cry, knowing that she would either be killed or taken in as a prisoner, both ways being terrible for Pinkie. Suddenly, the darkness in the room cleared up as a flashlight was suddenly turned on. Pinkie had to squeeze her eyes in order to adapt to the sudden change in lighting. When she could see again, what stood in front of her was a white Pegasus in a guard suit with roughly messed up electric blue and dark gray mane and tail. What shocked Pinkie the most was that his eye color was different for each of his eyes. While one of his eyes were blue, the other happened to be gray.

“Need a hand.” The Pegasus guard said, sticking out his front hoof towards Pinkie. Pinkie Pie was taken aback by this. The last time she recalled, she was told that the guards were extremely dangerous and not to be trusted. But here she was, a guard trying to help her up.

“Umm, thanks.” Pinkie Pie responded, he usual cheery voice turning to something calm and gleeful. Pinkie Pie then took the guards hoof with her own, who quickly hoisted her up onto all four. “This might be a little out of the ordinary, but who the hay are you?” Pinkie Pie asked, showing confusion in her eyes.

“Oh, so sorry for not introducing myself earlier.” The guard said playfully, trying to act royal and sophisticated. “I’m Lightning Flash, but you can call me Lightning for short.” Lightning said, while pointing a hoof towards himself.

“Hmm, Lightning Flash.” Pinkie said aloud, testing the name. “Lightning Flaaash, Lightneeeng Floosh. Liiiightniii.”

“That’s enough, Lightning said, covering Pinkies mouth. “You don’t want to draw too much attention.”

“Why?” Pinkie asked. “Aren’t you friends with the other guards around here?”

“Actually, I’m a prisoner of this place.” Lightning replied. “I just stole this outfit from another guard so I could make my way out of this death trap.”

“Ohh, wait, you’re a prisoner.” Pinkie Pie said aloud, hoping around her new acquaintance. “That’s so cool. You must have so many skills and powers if your able to escape this place. I mean really, a ton of ponies said escaping the Ark is impossible, but not for you, that is. You must be like a ninja or assassin or something if you can do that. I wish I could be a ninja or assassin just like you so that I could…” Pinkie was soon cut off as Lightning Flash wrapped a hoof around her entire mouth.

“Shut Up!” He screamed softly. “If they find us, then well both be doomed, and who knows what will happen from there.” Soon, the sound of hoofsteps began echoing down the end of the hallway., followed by the shadows of other ponies.

“Son of a” was all Lightning could say before he began galloping towards the steel door to the left of them. As they made it inside the room, Lightning quickly turned around and locked all the locks implanted onto the door. He then slid down against the door in stress, still holding Pinkies mouth with his hoof, preventing her from making any sorts of sounds. Lightning Flash soon began to admit his surroundings. Even though he was right next to the most annoying earth pony in the entire world of Equestria, she kind of looked cute. Her curly mane and tail had a scent of pink bubblegum and berries, while the rest of her body smelled of sugars and sweets. All of a sudden, noises coming from outside the door were made.

“Hey, look at this.” A masculine voice said, picking up something from the floor.

“What is it?” Another voice said, asking the other pony.

“Whadda ya think it is?” He screamed at him, holding up the item towards the other guards face. “It’s a flashlight.”

“Damn it.” Lightning Flash silently cursed under his breath, hoping Pinkie did not hear that. He had forgotten his flashlight outside of the room. Without it, it was nearly impossible to see around the Ark.

“Hmm, somepony must be around here.” the other guard said. “Spead out and find him.” He said, taking control.

“Since when do I follow orders from a dumbass like you?” The other guard mentioned, turning around and walking in the direction from where he came from. “Heh, doesn’t even know what a flashlight is.” He said aloud.

“Hey!” The other guard yelled, “I heard that, he said, trotting over towards the other guard in the distance. The voices of the two guards arguing back and forth began to get lower and lower till they couldn’t be heard anymore. Once the voices were gone, Lightning began sighing in relief. He then took his hoof away from Pinkies mouth, signaling that the guards were gone. Once he did so, he soon noticed a string of saliva connect from his own hoof towards Pinkies mouth. It took him a while to realize that she had been sucking on the side of his hoof the entire time. Pinkie then tried to cut the string of saliva connecting the two before things got worse, a slight blush spreading across her face as she did so. Meanwhile, Lightning tried to scrape the saliva imprinted onto his hand across the walls of the room. Once they were done and everything was cleared, Lightning Flash moved on to further business.

‘Well, let’s move along, shall we.” He said while getting up. “Need a hoof?” Lightning asked before giving a hoof to Pinkie who gladly accepted it. “Now, let’s see where we are.” As Lightning reached for the lights switch to the room, Pinkie Pie began feeling strange things in her stomach, things that she could not yet understand. Butterflies mixed all around her stomach as if she were about to sing to a crowd of millions of ponies. She didn’t know why but something about Lightning got under her skin, and she liked it. Once Lightning had reached for the lights switch, the light automatically came on. The room was instantly flooded with light as everything soon became clear to the two ponies. What could be seen in the room was tons of different test tubes and beakers filled with multiple kinds of liquids. Flamethrowers and Bunsen burners lay on the tables and desks of the area. Tubes and wires swirled around the room, carrying different substances in them. Lightning right then knew where they were.

“What is this place?” Pinkie asked confused.

“It’s one of the many science labs found on the Ark.” Lightning Flash replied. “If I had a nickel for every lab built into this hellhole.” Lightning began trotting down the science lab for a while before turning around and realizing Pinkie wasn’t following her. “Do I have to escort you around for everything?” Asked Lightning Flash sarcastically.

“Only if you want to.” Pinkie Pie passed by Lightning with pride, keeping her posture up and eyes closed, looking sophisticated.

“Hey, wait up!” Lightning shouted before catching up to Pinkie. “By the way, “He said, painting hardly. “What’s your name.”

“Pinkie Pie.” She said in her usual cheery voice. “But you can call me Pinkie Pie.”

“Well Pinkie Pie” Lightning continued as he and Pinkie trotted down the long science lab. “I’ve been meaning to ask how in Equestria did you manage to get onto the Ark?”

“Oh, that brings be back.” Pinkie Pie answered. “All the way back to the beginning.”

I finally finished the 10th chapter of the story. And as you can see, this is probably my longest chapter that I’ve written so far. It took me about an hour and a half to type this entire thing up. I am still looking for new OC’s as well as new songs for this fanfiction. Sadly, not many people have been giving me new song requests. All I’m getting are new OC’s, too many actually. Speaking of OC’s, the OC, Lightning Flash in this chapter was made by the author Lightning Flash (How ironic). His stories are truly exceptional and his OC has also been features in the 7th element story as an antagonist, but I flopped him around as a good guy.  Don’t worry though, lots more enemies will soon appear in future chapters. Also, now I will be taking enemy OC’s too. The necessarily don’t have to be ponies, l they can be zombies or vampires or maybe even robots for all I care. Juts be creative and give me the name as well as what type of monster they are so I can use them in my future chapters. Sadly, some bad news had unfortunate came up. My laptop has stopped working temporarily and I don’t know if it’s officially broken. I think it’s because of the random heat waves that keep on hitting us or that it’s just too old to be working anymore. Anyway, If the laptop doesn’t come through, then I will have to start updating every other day. Not that big of a deal, but I have to share the family laptop and desktop from time to time. If you haven’t already noticed, Pinkie has finally met a new acquaintance right now. What will stir between the two. Find out in the next few chapters

Also, before you go, I also want to know what my next few chapters will be on. The next few chapters will each focus on a different pony and what section of the Ark they got transported to, as well as how they get out. I don’t know the order of characters I’m going to do it in, so I want you, the audience, to tell me what order I should do it in. All I know is that Fluttershy will be the last pony I do a chapter on before they find Dusk in the Ark. Until next time, review and reply to all the questions I have aksed you right now.
