RAMPAGE: Equestria Tour!
The Fortress
Previous Chapter[Frozen North.]
[Day 36.]
The cold air had subsided. The sun shined bright in the sky, warming the air slightly. It almost felt alien to the ponies that were on the shoulders of the remaining six monsters. The memory of leaving behind Marco, Boris, and Ruby would be forever burned in their minds. However, they were more worried about the monsters. Ever since Ralph picked up the trail, everyone's been silent, nothing but looks of anger on all their faces. Occasional growls or grunts from them. It was obvious that revenge was on their minds. Though, Twilight was fearing about what that anger and lust for revenge and blood would do to their friends. They had the same look the day she and her friends met them all.
Ralph stopped dead in his tracks. Lifting his head up and looking up towards a large icy door. It was at least three times bugger then the monsters with a door knob on the front of it. Our heroes looked at the spectacle with wide eyes. George walked up to the door and raised a fist to it. He struck the door three times, stepping back from the door and crossing his arms. No one answered. With a growl, George knocked on the door again this time with more force. Again no answer. George was about to strike the door down before Nick stopped him. He looked at the demon with a raised eye brow. Nick smirked and pointed toward a almost invisible line at the bottom of the door.
"Booby traps? Clever bastards." George said to himself.
Nick placed his finger slightly close to the line, tracing it with his finger as he followed it to a wooden stake. Nick pulled the stake out of the ground and threw it to the side. George looked at him more confused then ever.
"What the hell was the point in that?"
"The door was unlocked. So the minute you tripped the wire and opened it..."
Nick swung open the door and out of no where came an icy battle-axe from the ceiling. The monsters looked in awe at the sight, while Rainbow Dahs was busy prying Fluttershy off Ralphs tail. George felt his jaw hit the ground.
"That's twice you've saved us Nick." Twilight said.
The demons cow skull grinned. The monsters then proceeded into the fortress. The sheer feel of the air was absolute zero. The halls were made of ice, a cold touch with every step. The echoes of the monsters stomping could be heard all the way down the hall. George groaned and stopped in his tracks. Everyone else stopping soon after.
"What's wrong George?" Rainbow Dash asks.
The ape shushes the pony with a finger to his lips. Rainbow Dash gives him a confused look.
"We need to be stealthy with this place. We know they live here but what we don't know is if their here or not. So what we need to do is find the ponies princesses and wait for Bubba and his gang to get back."
The group nodded in agreement.
"What we need to do is, since their are six of us, should split up and cover more ground."
Twilight gave a wide smile and flew up next to George.
"The pair will consist of one monster and one pony." she said.
"Ralph your with Rarity." George said.
The wolf placed his had out to the pony. Rarity hopped into his hand.
"Applejack your with Lizzie." Twilight said.
Lizzie lowered her head and AJ climb onto her nose.
"Nick, you've got Rainbow Dash."
The demon and Rainbow nodded.
"Pinkie Pie is with Curtis." Twilight said.
The two bro hoofed.
"Finally, Fluttershy your with Harry." George said
Harry smiled and bowed to the pink mane pony. Fluttershy blushed slightly. With the pairs made, the groups descended into the fortress.
Princess Celestia and Luna huddled together in a attempt to stay warm. Celestia looked and saw their three kidnappers were asleep. Now was the time to strike. The princess brought out an ice pick from under wing and placed the sharp end of it into the shackle lock. A few clicks later, the shackles came undone and fell to the floor. A loud crash echoing through out the room. Both princesses eyes grew wide and they froze in place. A snore escaped Bubba and he rolled to his side. Both let out a sign of relief and made their way to the walked silently toward the door. Celestia just started pushing open the door when a rubbery hand grabbed her and Luna with force. Both screamed as they were lifted up to stare directly into the face of an angry blob monster. Bubba spoke with a firm tone that made the princesses give looks of fear.
"No one...leaves Bubba."
