Tidal Depths
CHAPTER SEVEN - Hotel is Closed
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe two sea ponies fought their corrupted friends, trying to buy some time or stop their terrifying rampage. Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity and Rainbow Dash ran toward the hatch room. Perhaps if they found Apple Jack and Twilight they'd be able to use rainbow power to stop this menace.
“Twilight's a Princess, she can fix it.”
Cried Pinkie.
CRACK!
Blood splattered everywhere out of the rainbow scaled pony's body. He was hanging there with a dead pan expression as his vision faded. One of the corrupted ponies had used it's teeth to rip his spine right out of his back. As blood splashed over the Pale Blue sea pony's form she suddenly screamed.
“QUAVER NO!”
Her screams of distressed were cut out as she was grabbed and thrown against the ground, a hoof pressing hard against her throat. Gurgling noises filled the hall as the four ran though they dared not to make their death's in vain. They had to find Twilight!
The mare's body was broken, hooves slamming down against bones in the efforts to break open the pony. All three of them took them up in their mouths, still bleeding and half covered in flesh. The sea pony coughed up blood, still alive despite the violent acts upon her. All she could do was cry at the agony that her body was in.
“All my friends..”
She wept, her voice being silenced by a bone being inserted straight into her mouth and out the back of her neck. Splurk.
Twilight Sparkle walked the halls thinking.
'I wonder where Apple Jack is, she should have found them by now. I hope she's alright.'
“TWILIGHT!”
Was screamed in the high pitched voice that only Pinkie Pie would wield.
“Pinkie?! Fluttershy! Rarity! Rainbow!”
She responded in delight while whirring around to see her friends. “You're okay!”
“We thought you'd died too!”
Cried Fluttershy, hugging her and weeping.
“...More people have died?”
Twilight grimaced.
“Where's Apple Jack?”
“She's not with you?”
Asked Rarity, her hair was frazzled unusual for her to say the least and Fluttershy wouldn't let go of Twilight as she was still weeping. Twilight stepped back, rubbing the back of her mane as she stopped.
“We need to gather everyone up and get them out of here. It's not safe any more. Sea ponies can't stay on land very long.”
Twilight took one more deep breath.
“I am going to go get ChocMint, the rest of you head to the elevator.”
“NOT A CHANCE!”
Shouted Rainbow Dash.
“I wouldn't be the element of loyalty if I didn't come with you."
“Alright Rainbow. You can come with me.”
Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie all looked at each other with concerned but headed toward the elevator.
Chocmint was sitting on the ground crying still, his friends were dead and his hotel was in ruins. There wasn't much he was living for. He stared down at the barred hatch, the corrupted Rhapsody staring back at him.
“She loved you you know. More than I loved her... And you KILLED HER.”
He growled.
“I should kill you, I want to kill you.”
He whispered before he felt a purple hoof on his shoulder.
“She wouldn't have wanted that. Choral cared about her and she cares about you to much to let you become a monster.”
Twilight spoke to him.
“It's time to go.”
Rainbow Dash flapped her wings and stared at him.
”Besides, you'd drown in a second.”
Chocmint got up and nodded at the two.
“You're right. It's time to go.”
As they left the room a powerful force pounded the hatch.
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!
