RAMPAGE: Equestria Tour!

[Canterlot.]

[Day 20.]

  A low rumble a stomach ringed inside Marcos torn ears. Nagging at him that he hadn't eaten all day. How could he? All their was to eat were vegetables or hay. Being a full on carnivore, Marco didn't like anything besides meat. By the order of the princesses however, he wasn't allowed to go out and eat animals to prevent ponies from seeing his true side. Like hell he cared about them seeing him as a monster, all he wanted was something to eat before he sees all of Canterlot as he buffet. From what his stomach was telling him, he was close to that. Marco then thought, 'What do pony taste like?' Shacking his head, Marco narrowed his eyes as saw birds flying outside. His stomach growling, much to the sharks annoyance.

  Marco then heard over a dozen birds fly by the windows of the castle. Raising an eye brow, Marco followed the birds to a large garden. His eyes went wide as he saw over a dozen birds on a tree. A sinister smile came across his face. He finally found something that no one would notice go missing. His mouth begun to water as he walked toward the tree, his dagger teeth showing. Dinner is served. Marco grabbed a bird with his mouth before it noticed he was there, the bird squirmed in his mouth, pecking at him to break loose. Marco simply smiled as he thrashed around the bird in his mouth. His teeth acting like a saw on wood as they started to shred the bird. Blood started to leak from the bird as Marco thrashed harder. Soon, the birds tweets ceased and it went limb in his mouth. Letting out a mouth filled chuckle, Marco opened his jaws and pulled back his head. The bird slide inside his mouth, he then started to chew on the bird. Spitting out pieces of it he didn't want. Bones, organs, feathers, all of it he didn't like. It was the meat he mostly enjoyed. Swallowing the carcass, Marco wiped his bloodied mouth and covered his mouth to prevent a burp. Feeling his stomach was satisfied, Marco turned to leave the garden when a pair of narrowed sapphire eyes stared into his.

  He pulled back, seeing a the princess of the night he has come to know her as, giving him a look he was used to. She must have seen him eat the bird, like he cared what she thought. He was hungry, and no other meats were around. He couldn't just go and eat a pony, he wanted too, but he wouldn't. Luna spoke up with a firm tone. Marco knew he was about to be scolded.

"A suppose the little one was tasty?"

  Marco chuckled. Luna's expression not changing.

"Oh come on, I had to eat something that was meaty. I am a carnivore ya know."

  Marco didn't see it coming when the princess locked eyes with him and was nose to nose with him. Marcos own angry look set in. Luna spoke with a more angered tone, it would have made any other pony shrink beneath her. Marco however, had encountered worse.

"May I remind you Celestia and I gave you an order to not eat the wildlife!"

'Oh man I'm so scared! Fuckin bitch.' Marco thought with a chuckle.

  Marco returned fire with his own comment. His tone just as sharp as Luna's.

"And may I remind you sister. IM. A. MEAT. EATER! You know what that means?"

  Luna's tone softened slightly. She didn't expect this type of retaliation from him, she really had to expect from the first place though. Luna answered Marco with her firm tone ,trying to not sound intimidated.

"I do know what that means." she said.

  Marco pulled back from the princess and showed his teeth to her in a growl. Luna would be lying if she didn't say she would be a little on edge at this point. Teeth like that could kill her if Marco wanted too. The shark then coughed, a white feather flying out of his mouth. Marcos expression changed to no expression.

"Listen doll...I know it was a bird. I know you and your sis didn't want me to eat the live stock but did you ever consider I am a type of animal that eats meat for a living?"

  Luna's eyes went wide.

"I'm what's called on earth, a great white shark. A type of sea animal that eats nothing but meat and other objects. So pardon me doll if I eat a few birds! At least I'm not eating your fucking population!"

  Marco was soon shouting instead of regular talking by this point. His temper flaring. Luna was looking at him wide eyes, the sudden burst of anger was surprising to her. She would have to keep in mind of the animal he was, if he only eats meat he would have to be an exception for her and Celestia's rule while he was their. Probably the same with the others. However from what she gathered from the ones named George and Ralph, Marcos hunger would overcome his senses making him nothing but a predator that would eat everything in sight. Luna would keep an eye on the shark. A sudden thought came to her mind on the subject.

"Sir Marco." she says with a more kinder tone this time.

  Marco turns to her with a eye brow raised.

"What's up?"

"Are their any other friends of your that are 'carnivores' like you are?"

  Marco noticed the emphasis on the word carnivore as she spoke. The princess was obviously mentioning his type of carnivore. Thinking back, Marco couldn't say he called any other of the monsters at the labs his friends beside Natalie. When it came to his hunger, only a few monsters fit the description.

"Well, their are only four I know of. First one is a demon named Nick. Though he barely eats anything because of his mutation."

  Luna's eyes went wide as dinner plates. A demon? That would be something to keep in mind as well.

"Second, a lion named Leon. Third, a crocodile named...Croc."

  Marco saw the look Luna was giving him.

"Yeah, creative I know. Lastly theirs a plant monster named Venus."

  Luna noticed the hesitation in Marcos tone when he mentioned the monster. Curious, she pursued it.

"Who is this Venus character?"

  Marco let out a growl and turned away from Luna toward the Everfree Forest. The memories of the psychotic plant flooding his mind.

"Venus was...a psycho path. A monster that loved to make you miserable and kill others with a smile on her face. She's know for almost killing one of the monsters back at the lab."

  Luna was shocked. A monster attacking another from the same home? From the sound of it, Venus was a dangerous player.

"Do you think she is here?" Luna asks.

"Doubt it, I bet she was warped to some weird planet were she can live her last days alone. Thank god no one will ever see that monster again."

  Marco turned back to Luna who was gathering all the information he had told her. With the puzzled look on her face, Marco made his way past her and into the castle.

  Marco was a good few yards down the hallway when he saw a solider run past him toward Luna. His eyes went wide as to what the guard told Luna. He spoke frantically to her.

"Princess Luna! Trouble in the square! Huge vines coming out of the ground!"

  Marco was moving fast as he sprinted toward the castle square. He could see countless civilians running past him and guards fighting off vines with flytraps at the end of them. Marco then saw a vine cornering a mare with her child in her arms. Snarling, Marco jumped and bit down on the vine, thrashing it around until he ripped in half. Marco spit the plant out, much to his distaste. It tasted bitter and had a little bit of nasty aftertaste. Marco continued to run toward the square, dodging the flytraps as best he could.

  He soon came apon the square, seeing more vines then ever. A few guards stayed behind to fight while others helped with civilians. The ground begun to shake. A large vegetation pod erupted from the ground, debris flying everywhere. More vines followed behind it. The shark narrowed his eyes, he knew whose plants these were. Marco made his way to the pod, multiple guards giving him shocked looks. He looked up to the pod, taking in a whiff of it. His theory was correct, it was her.

"Venus!"

  The vines stopped. All turning to look at the shark. They all let out a hiss as they surrounded him. Marco roared at the vines, all of them backing of from him.

"I know you're in there! Leave these ponies alone! Its me you want!"

  The pod cracked in the middle, splitting in the middle for green gas to leak from it. A low rumble of a roar came from the pod as tentacle like vines sprout from it. Soon, three vines were on each side of the split. Pulling it apart, a large head came from inside. Crimson eyes glowing as the larger flytrap gave a sinister smile. Marco gritted his teeth, this wouldn't be pretty. Venus stood at her full height at Marco. Her grin not ceasing. Her voice was like nails on a chalkboard, not pleasant to hear.

"Why hello Marco! Good to see you again ol' chum!"

"You and I both know were not friends."

  A vine wrapped itself around Marcos neck, pulling him to Venus height. Her breathe made him gag as she pulled him in.

"Really? That's a shame."

  Venus then threw Marco into a building. He crashed through the front entrance leaving a large hole in it. Venus laughed as she swatted the building with one of her vines, the building crumpled to the ground. Crushing Marco underneath it. She laughed but was stopped when a strange blast hit her in the head. Venus pulled herself off the ground and snarled apon seeing Luna with her horn glowing and angered look on her face. Venus snarled.

"You runt! Ill make sure to tear you apart first!"

  Luna let out another blast from her horn. Venus just barely avoided it and sent a barrage of vines toward Luna. One by one, she blasted them. Disintegrating in place from it. Luna flew up in the air, avoiding the rest of the vines Venus had sent after her. Flapping her wings, she avoided the homing missile like vines as they chased her in the air. Luna turned and stirred up her horn until she fired another blast from her horn, killing more of the vines. She didn't see one coming as it chopped down on her leg. She yelped in pain and kicked the vine with her other leg. It released and she avoided more. Venus watched from the ground as her vines were crowding the princess. making to where she doesn't have a place to run. Luna found herself in a large organic ball, vines sealing her inside it. The ball started to shrink and Luna grew frantic. Blasting parts of the ball just for more vines to take its place. The ball was now twice a small and she was running out of breathing room. Venus watched from below and laughed as the ball was shrinking.

  A bright light came from behind Venus. Narrowing her eyes, she turned to see a green glow inside the ruble where she threw Marco. Then, she remembered what that glow meant. Marco burst from the ruble in his true form. His fin hands shaped to fists and anger in his eyes. His wide mouth with a angry look on it. Marco snarled, leaping off his foot and grabbing one of Venus vine legs. He then twirled her in the air like a rope. The vine ball imprisoning Luna had separated into pieces and Luna gazed down to see Marco twirling the plant monster in the air. She never saw Marco in his true form.

  Marco released Venus, sending her flying into another building. Marco then let out a mighty roar. He waited for Venus to get up, knowing she would. The plant emerged from ruble and sent to of her vines shooting toward Marco. The shark grabbed one of the vines but didn't stop the other one as it impaled his arm. He let out a pain filled roar. He grabbed the vine with his impaled arm and pulled it out, blood squirting from the wound. Marco whipped the vines, sending a moving wave toward Venus. It hit her dead on, sending her flying and snapping the vines. She landed on her head and quickly sprang up. She roared and charged toward the shark. Marco charged as well. Both monsters were now running at each other, the ground shaking under their feet. Marco slammed into Venus, grabbing her head with both his fins. Venus speared Marco with one of her vines in the muzzle. Blooding his nose. Marco brought his arm back and plunged it into Venus nose. Her head knocked back and she returned it with a head butt. Marco reeled back and Venus charged him again, this time slamming into his back. He fell to the ground on his stomach, turning on his back to see Venus leaping in the air. He rolled out of the way just in time as Venus landed hard on her vine legs. She turned to look at Marco throwing a building piece at her. It impacted her and crushed her under it. Venus crawled out of the ruble with pain shooting through her body. She saw a fin in front of her, looking up to see a bloody Marco looking down at her.

  Venus started to laugh. Marco grabbed both sides of her head and started to pull. The sound of flesh tearing and the laughing of Venus under her gurgling made Marco pull harder. Venus head came off with a snap, green blood squirting from the severed head and body. Marco dropped the head and roared into the air. Luna watched at a safe height as Marco fell on his back. The same green light glowed again, and Marco returned to his pony state. Luna flew down in a rush and grabbed the past out shark, flying into the castle.
