A Protecter From The Specimens

"I still can't get over the fact that you guys actually exist." I say as I take a seat on top of one of the dead clots and holster my 9mm and unholster my machete.

"I terribly hope you don't mind me asking but what are you?" Rarity asks as she finds a spot on the floor not covered in blood or a dead body and sits down in it.

"I've been wondering that as well." Sweetie Belle asks as she sits next to her sister.

"Well.... I'm a human. I guess the best way to help you to understand would be that we're like the manticores on your planet. That's about as close as I can get I guess...." I say as I scratch my forehead with my machete.

"Are you sure it's wise to do that with the sword?" Rarity asks.

"Nah it's good. I've got enough scars that if I cut myself it'll blend right in." I answer with a light chuckle.

"It's not that, you could get dirty!" Rarity exclaims.

"I forgot that you like to be clean and fashionable.... Welcome to your worst nightmare I guess then Rares...." I say as I adjust my face bandana again.

"Rares? And my worst nightmare? I guess you're correct there." Rarity shudders as she sees a splatter of blood on her right front hoof.

"Come on. Let's get you both cleaned up and to somewhere safe for now." I say as I stand up and holster the machete.

I hold my hand out for Rarity to take.

"Why thank you.... Urm.... What's your name?" Rarity asks.

"My Name? It's been three years I've kinda forgotten it.... I guess you could call me DJ Katawa.... Dj, Deej or Katawa it's up to you." I say as spot a single clot start walking towards us from the corner I originally ran around.

I take out my machete and wipe the old blood onto my sleeve then prepare to attack. I stand with my legs slightly apart and with my side facing towards the clot as I hold my machete out ready to stab. The clot stumbles towards me at a quite fast speed. I slowly pull my arm across my chest pressing the machete against my other shoulder preparing to swing it.

The clot then turns around only to be melted by acid.

'What the fuck....' I think to myself as I lower the machete from shock.

In front of the screaming clot stands a bloat, a huge bloated corpse of a human that is filled with a deadly type of acid and in it's hand is a bloodied meat cleaver. This bloat was special though, it had a huge gash across its face.

"Welcome back sick bag. I see you missed me. Don't go worrying though..... I sure as fuck missed you.... Missed you enough that you didn't explode you big boom mother fucker." I say with a smirk on my face which is covered by the bandana.

The bloat growls then waddles towards me. I hold the machete with a tighter grip.

"I'm not gonna use my pistol to kill you, you oversized, overweight asshole. I wanna be nice and close when I decapitate you." I say as I lift the machete back up and aim a little higher to where it's easier to cut it's throat.

The bloat then stops in front of me then bends slightly backwards. I swing the machete forward and into the top half of it's face leaving a huge gash that causes the bloat to flinch slightly and release it's acid before it could aim at me.

"Missed me you ugly fucker." I chuckle.

The bloat then leans forwards trying to release it's acid on me.

"Even I know it takes time for you to throw up again you idiot." I say as I bring the machete down as hard as possible into it's neck causing it to go straight through it, decapitating the bloat.

The bloat collapses to the ground followed shortly by it's head as it lands next to the body it once controlled.

"Dj what did you mean by you missed it?" Sweetie Belle asks.

"I'll tell you another time, but for now we gotta get you mares of the streets and into a building." I answer as I take a second to look around at some of the buildings around us.

I notice a building that looks fine from the outside except that all points of entry are boarded up.

"Rarity you beautiful mare, think you could use your magic to remove the boards?" I ask.

"Well. Just because you said I was beautiful I'll open the door." Rarity answers happily as she struts towards the door causing me to facepalm.

I then see the nails that are holding the boards in place glow a faint blue and start to leave the boards that in turn then start to glow a faint blue and are then lowered to the ground.

"Rarity I'd kiss you right now but we have more important matters then me thanking you with a mouth hug." I say as I pick up Sweetie Belle and rush inside follow by a blushing Rarity.

Inside the house is an average sized hallway that leads to a living room and a staircase. I put down Sweetie Belle and then head inside the living room. Inside the living room is a dirty and trashed white painted room with a sofa that has a broken leg and a chair that is missing its cushion.

"Get comfortable girls, I'm gonna go check out the kitchen for supplies." I say getting a nod from both of them as they look around the room and at the damaged seats.

"Right. Let's hope there's food." I mumble to myself.
