Tidal Depths
CHAPTER FIVE - Unlikely Heroes
Previous ChapterNext ChapterRarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash kept together, they were frightened by what they saw and believed that if they suck together then no pony would get hurt.
“Think we can contact the Princesses about what happened?”
Fluttershy asked nervously.
“Don't worry, whatever it is we can handle it!”
Announced Rainbow Dash with gusto.
“We should at least talk to some of the hotel staff and tell them what we saw!”
Said Pinkie Pie, she was trying to regain some of her cheerful behavior despite the state in which that sea pony was..
“Right!”
Answered Rainbow Dash.
“We saw some in the hall around here before the tidal wave. I am sure they're somewhere nearby.” The four rounded the corner into the hall, not seeing the ponies from before.
“They went this way!”
Pinkie stated enthusiastically.
“We should make sure they're alright after such a violent shake regardless.”
Spoke Rarity while fixing her hat.
They wandered the carpeted halls, this side of the building looked less like a military base and more like a hotel. There was chandeliers and paintings hung up on the walls, but there was also pools of water scattered along the floor.
“It's awfully wet around here, there might be a leak.”
Fluttershy mentioned to the others before banging strait into Pinkie Pie's flank from the group's sudden halt.
“...”
Fluttershy rose her head and stared at what the other three were looking at. Sea ponies, three of them standing over the bodies of the hotel staff members that Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie saw complaining earlier. Their bodies were ripped open and their skin was scattered across the red carpeting. Despite the fact the sea ponies had herbivorous teeth, they were digging their maws deep into the flesh of of the corpses, ripping away at flesh and muscle while spitting out bone. The mouths were coated in a ring of blood as they grazed on the corpses of those they had murdered.
It was Fluttershy that gave them away, a sudden blood curdling scream in response to the mess that she saw before her. Seeing a stallion's intestines was far too much for a pony that couldn't even stand Nightmare Night.
One of the sea pony's raised it's head, dropping a piece of kidney out of it's mouth and staring it's glazed eyes over at Fluttershy. Before she could even react she found herself grabbed off the ground by Rainbow Dash.
“RUN!”
She yelled but Rarity and Pinkie Pie already were on the right track. Their escape was however very short lived before as two more sea ponies galloped up in front of them, the one with the rainbow scales and the pale blue mare.
The four ponies stopped in their tracks and stared at the two before hearing the words from the rainbow colt.
“Run, we'll deal with our own kind.”
He stated with an element of anger in his voice before nodding at the female beside him. Surprised, the four ran past the two sea ponies smiling in appreciation.
“What happened to you?”
asked the blue mare.

Author's Note
This is my first story and as such I know it isn't perfect. I would love to hear what I did right and what I could improve upon. I would prefer constructive over toxic however!
