Equestrian Warriors
Escape - Part 1
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe strange Veemon was walking into a smooth, metal cell. Once he entered, a yellow forcefield appeared, blocking the entrance. Hanging on the wall was Twilight Sparkle. Her bottom hooves were in a black rectangle attached to the back wall. Her other hooves were in a similar black rectangle above her head attached to the wall. Her eyelids twitched before opening. Once they were open, she immediately glared at him.
"Who are you?! Why are you doing this!" She shouted at him.
"The name is Exmon and I'm doing this for one simple reason... revenge." He stated, glaring back at her with a small grin. "I want to make Gumdramon lose the ones he loves! But first, I need to take some notes on you six."
"W-What?"
"It's not for me. One of my co-workers needs them, but he's far too incompetent to get them himself." She said, pulling out a notepad.
"I guess that makes two of you." Twilight mumbled.
"I wouldn't be so snippy. Don't forget where you are and where I am." There was nothing but silence as the two stared at each other. Suddenly, Twilight shot a large beam from her horn, only for Exmon to create red circle of energy to block it. "S-Such power! She's just like-" Exmon froze, his eyes widened and his pupils shrunk. He grabbed his head, screaming in pain.
He began to sweat as he continued to scream, still blocking Twilight's beam. He clenched his teeth and started to rapidly shake his head. Sweat began to fall down Twilight's forehead and her horn began to turn red from the heat.
"ENOUGH!!!" Exmon screamed, his shield turned into a tentacle and wrapped itself around Twilight's horn, detaching it's self in the process.
"M-My, my magic!" Twilight shouted, trying to use her horn, only to no avail.
"Is incapacitated... for now." Exmon said, breathing heavily. "You are quite powerful. Hmm..." Exmon got back on his feet and walked right up to her. "A horn and wings?" He stopped and looked at the notepad, flipping through the pages. "Hmm, according to this page, most of the ponies in your world are either a unicorn, pegasus, or... 'earth pony', is that right?"
"Y-Yes, that is correct."
"So why do you have a horn and wings?"
Twilight stared at him, not moving a single muscle.
"Alright, I guess we'll have to do this the more 'scientific' way." Exmon said, staring back at her, then down at her wings. "Hmm... your wings look different than the normal ones." He said as he slowly moved a single finger across the middle of her left wing. Twilight blushed, wiggling in her chains. "And you forelegs don't look as strong as an earth pony's" He said as he held one of her forelegs with both hands. "Could your um... cutie mark be the reason for this?" He said as he reached for her flank.
"OKAY I'LL TALK!!!" She shouted, her entire face was engulfed in a blush.
"That's more like it."
"B-But you have to tell me something about yourself too."
"Far enough, so... the wings and horns." He said, pulling out a pen.
"... and that's how I became the Princess of Friendship." Twilight finished.
"Hmm, your world in quite unique indeed." Exmon said as he finished writing something down on the notepad.
"Alright, now it's my turn." She said, glaring at him.
"Sure, ask away."
"Why did you freak out earlier?"
Exmon froze again, looking down at the ground. "Asked something else." He said in a flat and serious tone.
"O-Okay... who are you and what is this place." Twilight asked, looking around.
"I am Exmon, Lord Plasmamon's most powerful general in his army. And this, is DarkShoutmon's experiment holding facility. He's made so many experiments that we had to create several buildings just to hold them all. Next?"
"Who's DarkShoutmon?"
"He's the head scientist. Well, technically he's the only scientist, but even after using the others for experiments, he still wants to be called the head scientist." Exmon shook his head disapprovingly. "Honestly, he's lost his touch. Nearly all of his inventions now are total busts. Next?"
"Where is L-Lord Plasmamon?" Twilight nervously asked.
"Closer than you think." Exmon said, grinning with his eyes closed. "Well, this has been nice, but I've got one more cell to go to... and I think you know who's in it." Exmon said, before stepping out of the cage and reactivating the forcefield.
"Gumdramon... no." Twilight said, lowering her head in sorrow. "I wish I could help you."
"Well you can't help him, but I can help you!" A cheery voice said.
"Huh, who said that?" Twilight asked, shooting her head back and forth.
"Hey, down here."
Twilight looked down, seeing what looks to be a... "A rabbit?"
"Half right, the other half is robot." Rascal said, chomping on a nutty bar.
"And you can talk?"
"Really? You, a talking horse, thinks a talking rabbit is weird? Man your world makes no sense!" He said, getting up and walking back away from her with his robot arms.
"First off, I'm a pony not a horse. And second off, what do you mean you can help me?"
"It means exactly what it means. What you need a dictionary? And here I thought you were the bookworm." He said, rolling his eyes before touching both of the black rectangles.
They opened, dropping Twilight onto the floor. "Wow, thank you!" She said, giving Rascal and hug.
"Whoa, haven't had one of these in a while... I forgot how nice they feel." He said, returning the hug.
"Ow!" Twilight said, holding her cheek.
"Whoops, sorry about that." He apologized, wiggling his metal claws. He walked through the forcefield and tapped the screen next to the cell, dropping it.
"Great, now I can go help Gumdramon!" She said, preparing to run.
"Whoa, slow your roll!" Rascal said, standing in front of her. "Listen, you and I need to go help your other friends and get you guys back home."
"But what about Gumdramon?"
"Don't worry, he'll be fine. Trust me, Exmon doesn't know what's gonna hit him. Now come on, that rainbow pony is in this one over here. I can never seem to remember her name. I think it was something like Mindy, or was it more annoying."
"Rainbow."
"Macaroni."
