Strength
The Attack
Previous ChapterChapter 5
Jumping out of bed, and giving Xena a heart-attack, I realized something.
I never let Pound Cake out of the closet.
-~-~-
Sneaky sneak.
... We gotta be sneaky sneak.
I had found a metal gear solid type suit in my closet, and as I was leaving, I threw a balaclava over Xena's head, making her sneaky sneak.
The Cakes are MIA, I have no idea where they are. That's good. Makes sneaky sneak easier.
Opening a window, I lift Xena in, and then I go in.
Pinkie is sleeping in front of a oven, the oven billowing black smoke.
Xena and I share a look.
"It'll be fine."
I walk up the stairs, sneaky like, and open the door to the closet.
There sits Pound Cake. Happy as ever. He sprints out of the room, knocking me over Xena and out a window. That little asshole sent me through an open window!
I was mostly unscathed, my ass will bruise, but it's fine, I've had worse things happen to my ass.
Before you call me gay, know that I am actually bisexual.
Before I could contemplate my sexuality any longer, Xena dived out the window landing paws first into my stomach.
Giving her a pat on the head, we started on our way back to the bunker.
-~-~-
The clock on my wall said its five a clock in the morning.
I really need a full nights rest.
Sighing, I happily slip under my comforter.
Son of a bitch, I didn't turn off the light.
~A month later~
With a loud snap, all the lights in my home went out.
I was worried about that, the generator only held so much electricity.
I was running it off of a small hand crank, but, I can't power this place just doing that.
I wonder if Twilight could help me.
I shivered as a draft went over my sleeping form.
Shrugging on some cargo pants and a red t-shirt, I grabbed DragonsBreath and walked out the door.
The reason I'm armed is because the last time I left, there was a chicken snake.
A motherfucking cocatrice.
Anyways, I had Rarity make me a custom sling for DragonsBreath, it had loops of stretchy fabric which would let me carry nine more shells on me.
The trip to Fluttershy's was uneventful, if not boring.
The cottage was looking especially good with the coat of brown paint I had put on it.
Flutters was picking flowers when I got to her.
"Hello Mike, how are you?" Flutters asked in her signature tone.
Xena whined a few meters away from me, but I disregarded it.
"I've been fine, I was actually needing to talk to Twilight, you up for coming to town?"
She gave me a sad smile, "I'm rally sorry, but I can't, Barry was attacked my something in the wood and haven't been feeling good."
Xena gave a very loud whine, and then nudged my hand.
I gave a glance in her direction and saw why the problem was.
You see, a hundred blood red eyes were looking out from the Everfree.
"Fluttershy get inside. Now." She gave a small yelp at my sudden seriousness. She turned and finally saw the problem.
"Now!" I yelled, knocking her out of her stupor.
She sprinted inside her cabin, countless animal following her or going in through holes in her house.
I stood my ground and Xena growled.
The first monster took a step out from behind the trees. Well, it used a claw to cut down the trees that were in its way. A obvious line of trees that had suffered the same fate behind it.
It looked like the alien and an armadillo had a love child.
With no time wasted the thing charged me, barely giving me time to draw my weapon.
I loaded, one, two, and three shells into the beast and it fell, but the speed it was running at left it sliding.
I was in the clear, but as it could not move, Fluttershy's house was bowled over. I mean like, half the house was gone in like two seconds.
I was in stunned silence, but another monster had came out of the forest.
It had a similar fate to the other, just not knocking over a house.
The red eyes in the woods seemed to get the message, and stalked off.
I'm gonna go ahead and say my plans were screwed for today.
The inside of her house was worse than the outside.
I could see a pink tail sticking out of the closet, the closet door having a hole in it. I smiled, Fluttershy was fine. I had saved her.
I opened the door to say its safe, but the words died in my throat.
The hole in the door had came from a shard of wood the size of my arm.
The piece of wood had came to a stop inside of Fluttershy's stomach, which had her pinned to a wall.
She gave me a small glance.
"Is it bad?" She asked, tears welling up.
"No... Not at all." I tried to say that firmly, but I wavered.
I gave my self a mental smack for wasting precious time, and with a tug, I had Fluttershy in my arms.
I had to get her to the hospital now.
I kicked the door out, it was rather solid, and I was on the road to Ponyville, my friend in my arms, and my dog at my side.
Author's Note
So... I need to know some things.
1. Who wants to be an editor?
2. I need suggestions on how to continue the story
And das it.
I think this chapter was sad.
