RAMPAGE: Equestria Tour!

[Canterlot.]

[Day 10. 14:45 pm.]

  Canterlot has been under heavy construction for a couple days now. The damage was somewhat major to the castle and to its residents. The hospital had more patients then they knew what to do with. More of them guards, some citizens. Their injured weren't to bad, but they needed to rest for a few days. Because of this, some of Canterlot had barely any guards that could stand watch. Most of the buildings in Canterlot had massive parts of them missing from them. The buildings had massive cracks and dents in the structure. The concrete ground wasn't any different. Large cracks and parts of the ground were smashed in.

  Construction crews were called in and they haven't stopped since then, The sounds of heavy machinery ringing through out the castle. The repairs had been slow but steady, with the addition of lunch breaks and the workers taking days off. One mare didn't enjoy hearing these sounds. The ringing in her head made it to where barely any sleep was received. Luna rubbed her head as she walked down one of the repaired hallways. The sun shining through the now multicolored windows. The red carpet stretching through out the building. Luna stopped at the end of the hallway, seeing a stallion guard with a bandage covering his left eye. Luna could see the small dents and scratches on his armor. He was limping on his right leg. He didn't notice the princess as he passed by her, his side facing her. Luna took in a breathe as she resumed her walk through out the castle. Seeing all the damage still waiting to be cleaned up and replaced. She thought back to what Harry said the night before. His voice ringing through her head.

'...Quite a few actually...'

  Those words made her blood run cold. How many did he mean by a few? It didn't help knowing Harry didn't know who they were. Was this the start of a world wide invasion? What if these monsters were different then the ones she knew? All these questions, and no answer. All would revealed in time, Luna feared by then it might be to late. Luna didn't notice she walked to the Canterlot garden, luckily it wasn't touched. The beautiful bloom of the flowers had Luna let out a sign of relaxation. The wind brushed by her mane with a soft whistle. She then noticed something, she couldn't hear anything. She was so far away from the construction sight, it couldn't be heard from where she was. Taking in the deep breathe, Luna walked down a dirt path. Observing red, violet roses from the corners of her eyes. The fresh air coursed itself through Luna's lungs, making her stress evaporated into nothing.

  A butterfly flew itself to Luna. Landing itself on her snout. She let out a soft giggle as she observed the butterfly on her nose. Luna raised her hoof, trying to touch the beautiful insect. A loud, rumbling roar made Luna flinch. The butterfly flying off from her. Luna observed as it flew away. She signed, so much for relaxing. Another roar brought her attention the mountains in the distance. She let out sign. A voice spoke up from  behind her, surprising her.

"What do you think about them?"

  Luna turned to see her sister Celestia, less bandages on her body. She walked to Luna side, looking out to the roars.

"I...don't know what to think." she responded.

  Celestia didn't say anything. That was the same answer she had. These monsters were dangerous, and weren't strangers to killing others. This only made Celestia worry about how the rest of their friends were. If they were more, or less deadly. If so, Celestia wasn't sure if the current friends they made, would stay that way.

[Fluttershy's Cottage.]

  Fluttershy and her friend Twilight watched, from a safe distance of course, as three monsters were playing some weird game with a tree and a boulder. The boulder was the size of the monsters hand. She watched as the wolf held the tree in a ready stance, the other monster was a brown hairy creature holding the boulder with a weird look in his eye. The ape reached behind him, scratching his rear with a disgusting sound coming from it. Fluttershy had to resist from vomiting from the sound, while Twilight wrote down in a clipboard. She wasn't determined to observe these creatures to her best ability. Right now was focused on their physical appearance, next was mental psychology, last was their biology. Twilight was starting to wonder if that last one was a good idea. Shacking the thought of her head, Twilight watched as the ape through the boulder with force. The wolf swung the tree with a grin on his face. The crack of the wood hitting the boulder echoed through out the area. The boulder went flying in the air, flying away across the sky. The wolf whistled.

"Wow. That's my new personal best!" Ralph said, twirling the tree.

  George gave him a impressed look.

"Ill say! You knocked it outa the park!"

  Twilight and Fluttershy were confused. They didn't know what they were doing but Fluttershy thought it looked fun, while Twilight saw it as information. Next to the two ponies Lizzie was watching on her hinge legs with a smile on her face. Spike was watching from the top of her head. George grabbed another boulder near him. Ralph preps the tree in his hand as George hold up the boulder. He tosses the rock like a fast ball toward Ralph. We quick reflexes, Ralph swings the tree with force. The tree snapped in two and the boulder rushed past it toward Lizzie and Spike. Everyone's eyes were on the boulder as it approached the two lizards. Lizzie grabbed Spike from her head, tucking him in her chest. The boulder slammed into her arm, bouncing off and rolling across the ground. Lizzie groaned in pain as she unraveled Spike from her chest. Everyone ran over to the two, Lizzie holding her arm.

"Are you two alright?" George asked.

  Spike looked up to George.

"I'm fine. I think Lizzies hurt though."

  George and Ralph looked over to Lizzie, she was holding her arms and licking some sort of green liquid from a scratch. Ralph turns away from Lizzie and sees Spike sucking a speck of the same liquid from his arm. He gulped. Turing his attention back toward Lizzie. She stood up, a confident look on her face.

"I'm fine. Its just a little scratch."

  George narrowed his eyes.

"Still, clean that wound. I don't want to see your blood scattered across this place."

  Lizzie nodded. She knew what he meant by that. Lizzie strolled away from the group toward a small lake in the forest. Lizzie rested her arm in the water, scrubbing it with her hand. The blood soon disappeared into the water, leaving a green scar on the lizards arm. She noticed something. A dark shadow moving under the water. Its was huge, and fast as well. Lizzie gave a puzzled look. She leaned into the water, trying to see what was moving. All she could see was a dark bottom of a blue lake. She shrugged it off and leaned back to get back to her friends. She heard the water splash below her, a large fin like hand emerged from the water and grabbed Lizzie by her arm. She gasped as the hand pulled her under the water.  She held her breathe as best she could, turning to see her attacker. Her eyed went wide seeing its golden glowing eyes. The creature stopped and gave Lizzie a wide smile, showing wide and sharp teeth in its mouth. It laughed as it looked at her directly in the eyes.

  Everyone had been waiting for more then an hour for Lizzie to get back. A series of footsteps was heard, everyone looked to see Harry approaching them, a wide grin on his face. George grunted.

"Why hello my companions! I must ask, why are you just sitting here?"

"Were waiting for Lizzie to get finished cleaning herself."

  Harry snickered. Walking over and sitting next to Ralph. George heard the snicker and raised an eyebrow.

"What's so funny?"

  Harry snickered again. Georges feeling another migraine come on.

"Nothing. I'm just glad one of you three is keeping their bodily hygiene healthy."

  George and Ralph felt their faces burn as Harry started to laugh. Both growled before tackling the yeti in a cloud. Sounds of punches, kicks, snarls, and sounds of air escaping lungs made Twilight and Spike roll their eyes. Fluttershy flew up to the brawling monsters. Calling them out. The three monsters stopped their brawl and looked at the frowning pony. Fluttershy glint as she saw the pose they were stuck in. Ralph had Harry in headlock, Harry was biting Georges leg, and George had his arm lifted to punch Harry in the face. The monsters unwrapped from their game of twister and stood still in front of Fluttershy. She narrowed her eyes at them, George let out a sign.

"Sorry...about...that." he said hesitantly.

  Fluttershy's frown vanished and was replaced by a smile. She turned away from the three, George smiled and slugged Harry in his side. Sending him flying. Fluttershy turned around with wide eyes, George smiled and shrugged. Ralph rubbed the back of his neck, looking toward Lizzie had gone off to. She's been gone for an hour now.

"I'm going to check on Lizzie." he said pointing in the direction.

  Harry picked himself up and was about to speak, Ralph roared, stopping him with red burning in his cheeks.

"SHE IS NOT TAKING A BATH YOU TWIT!"

  Harry let out a small smile as Ralph turned and walked. Everyone watched as Ralph stormed off into the forest. George had tears in his eyes from trying not to laugh when Ralph snapped at Harry.

  Ralph eventually found the lake where Lizzie went to wash her arm off. He smelled the air. Lizzie was here, and still is. Ralph looked around for his scaly friend. Seeing nothing, the last thing he thought she would be was-

"Dear lord...please don't tell me."

  Ralph slowly approached the lake. Looking over into the blue and black color of the water. He let a breathe, kneeling until his head was near the water surface. Lizzie sent was right on the surface. She was in the water. Ralph gulped, he took in a deep breathe. He flung his head into the water, the cold temperature of the water his head freezing. Ralph opened his eyes, looking around the lake for Lizzie. No sign of her, he narrowed is eyes in confusion. He then heard a roar, under the water with him! He looked straight to see a dark figure vastly approaching him. His eyes went wide, he almost wasted his breathe as he saw the figure approaching him. The figure tackled him, both him and it flying out the water with a enormous splash. Ralph could hear coughing as he shacked off the water on his fur. He felt scaly arms wrapped around him, he looked down to see Lizzie with a scared look on her face.

"Liz? Whats-"

"No time! We have to go before-"

  Another figure burst from the water, covering the two monsters in another coat of water. Ralph spurt water from his water. Both monsters looked at the figure with shock as it stood over them. Its white and golden eyes staring at the two. Ralph could see a spear like object coming from the figures back, the wide range of its jaw, and the color of its skin. He grunted as he figured it out.

"Marco? Seriously man!?"

  Marco gave a wide eyed look before laughing nervously. Marco moved out of the sun, showing himself in the light. Lizzie sprung up from Ralph and growled at the shark monster. More nervous laughter came out of him as he put up his fin like hands in defense. Large footstep were heard, the three monsters looking to see George and Harry approaching. George giving a surprised expression.

"Marco! Is that you?"

  Marco felt himself face palm.

"Yeah, yeah its me."

  Marcos western accent was music to his friends ears, to most of them anyways. Lizzie was still angry knowing it was Marco who was keeping her under the water for awhile. Speaking of which. Lizzie slugged Marco in the back of his head making him lurch forward.

"That's for keeping under the water for too damn long!"

  Marco retaliated with a menacing snarl to Lizzie.

"That's because I thought you was food!" he roared.

  The two monsters were soon in each others faces. Staring each other down.

"Food!? I'm a three story tall lizard, how in the hell do I look like food!?"

"In case you haven't noticed darlin! I'm a god damn shark! I eat frickin everything!"

  Tensions were growing between the two as the argument pushed on. Both were huffing in each others faces.

"Okay. Lets all calm down now. Cant we just forgot this happened?"

  Marco and Lizzie crossed their arms and looked away from each other. George signed and pinched his temple. Not a month went by in the lab without the big shark almost eating another monster. George made his way in the middle of the two. Wrapping them in each of his arms. He grinned as the two looked at him with wide eyes.

"Well lets look at it like this. At least our numbers have grown."

  The shark and lizard exchanged looks. Marco let out a sign, lifting his fin hand in front of Lizzie. She stared at it with confusion. Marco felt his gears grinding in his head.

"I'm offering an apology darlin. Please take and make it easier livin here for all of us."

  Lizzie nodded. Griping Marcos scaly hand with her own. The monsters shook and released their hands from each other. Harry started to clap, all glancing toward him.

"Bravo! Now that's fun to see right there!"

  Twilight comes flying to Marcos face. Her eyes wide with excitement. Marco smelled her, the smell of her flesh made his mouth water. George smacked the back of his head. Marco smiled with embarrassment. Twilight took her clipboard out and wrapped her pencil in magic as she slammed Marco with a serious of questions Marco couldn't even understand.

"Howareyouimfinemynamestwilightimwanttoknowallaboutyoutomybestability!"

  Marco raised his hand to Twilight, stopping her from her long train of talking.

"Listen doll. Your gonna have to slow it down for meh."

Twilight felt her face flush and cleared her throat.

"Sorry. I'm Twilight, I was hoping to ask you a few questions so I can learn more about you!"

  Marco shrugged. It was just like back at the labs with the monthly check up with the monsters.

"Alright then. Shoot."

  Twilight giggled in excitement. She wrote something down in her clipboard. Next she spoke a question that made Marco twitch an eye.

"First question. What kind of animal are you?"
