Fallout Equestria: Isle of the lost.
Chapter TwentyEight: Battle with Mix
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe stopwatch. It was known to just be used as a simple watch that could time runners and many other things that go on in sports. But after a time when Twilight went back in time a week. Some ponies found it interesting but nothing came of it. But when the war started. Project Stopwatch, a device that could have been used to go back to stop the war or at least talk got the Princess to stop Luna from becoming the full leader of Equestria. Project Stopwatch was one of the ones that stayed in the background. Not many ponies even understood what it was. When it even showed up all they learned about it. All they knew about it. That it’s a magic Stopwatch a simple magic stopwatch
The first test subject was a stallion back during the war on Equestria. He used it but the rest of his body went back in time before the start of the war. Of course, when they found the body years later it fell down a cliff when it came back. But the thing about the brain was that it was used in the mech body at first. But the issue with this stallion’s brain. It caused a lot of shock to the point they had to shut him down and trash the brain. Killing the pony fully. But they kept searching for subjects for both Project Mech and Project Stopwatch. A mare is known as Hawk in the army. She used that name most of her life since..half her life was the war. That's what she named herself. But she came to them all broken and close to death.
Before they placed her in the mech. They used the stopwatch on her to try to heal her wounds. But it caused her to get memories of a future that might have happened if the war ended. She was a family mare. But when she learned that it was maybe the future. She knew that she would never be able to see the end of the war..if she died like this. So Dr. Slice is the one working on both the projects. This was when he had the flesh-eating sickness. It was a sickness he got from the Blue hats that were stationed in Wymarnic. It was a creation of theirs to destroy what the ponies of that land called the threat to Equestria. It was meant for some pony else. But he was the greatest target. He tried to warn a detective known as Smoke Pipe about the problem. But the Blue hats got to the poor detective removing everything that he knew about them.
He found a way to steal some of the memory orbs. Placing them around areas for the detective to find. But it was too late as one could say. The sickness took him over since. Before the detective could find the orbs. The bombs fell and Dr. Slice was on the island. Causing him to place his body inside the machine. But before that of course. They placed poor Hawk inside the mech. A newly made robot that was meant to work on its own. But it didn't work. So they had to place a brain inside to keep it working. They placed Hawk's brain inside it. Then they found themselves on the island. The scribe went with them. But another set of ponies got a hold of rare magic eater that was Cricket like. They used what they brought from Equestria and started experimenting on Cricket. Then they found a creature like Mix. Just a normal flying dragonfly-like magic eater.
Some had colors like pink red so on. But this one was just pure brown. But when they placed the stopwatch inside the chest of Mix. They turned it on causing a great problem to happen. In the forbidden lands, the ponies and Zebras start their battle. The stopwatch causes them to see their future. But it was too late. They rushed to a cave while some stayed in the base. When the balefire firebomb went off in the forbidden lands. It caused Cricket to grow into the creature he is now. It also caused him to have a hate for ponies. But he also had a personality of caring for others.
Mix causes so many problems. When he learned what happened to him and the power that had been given to him. He found a way to cause more problems and now...Hero...
" You know...."
I blinked feeling the world around me going back to normal. We did start our fight. But when we hit I saw the past of what I saw, what he did, and what happened.
" Now you see why I hate your species. You couldn't leave well enough alone. Yes, it's been ten years since the past has been fixed. But think about it, hero. Think closely no matter what the past will happen again. Your ponies are too foolish to move on. I have seen what will happen and has happened to you StarShooter. I saw what happened to Tiria. She was right...She was right about all your species."
I didn't wish to know more about him. I wanted to fight...I wanted to fight him and destroy him. Closing my eyes tightly looking at my friends and the battle around us that still went on. The battle was still going because of him. But the battle between him and just me...was going to happen. Looked over to Doc then He charged at me. He tried biting me but I did a few slices with my sword. But he dodged it, firing my gun at him. But the bullets missed him. But after that, the ammo was out. I placed the little lady back in the holster. Mix, starts using the clock to form himself a sword as well. That he held in his little leg's. Charging at me while our weapons caused sparks. The sparks flew all over the place. Some of them hit me causing me to get burns.
I slice my sword into his head making it fly away. But of course, the battle restarts after the stopwatch causes us to be in the same spot before the sword sliced his head off. I shook my head. I did the same attack he dodges out of the way hitting me with his stinger in my chest. I gasped feeling the sting go deep into my side. I felt the paralyzing venom going through my system. It burned so much.
But lucky for me, I could still use my magic when I fell to the ground. I sliced him in half causing the stopwatch to turn on again causing us to go back a few moments before the stinger hit me. He of course did the attack. I moved out of the way using my telekinetic magic to grab the sting and forced him to sting the ground. But it didn't cause him to get stuck. I sliced my sword into his chest. I could see the stopwatch was still cracked for what Skull Crusher did to him.
But he bites into the sword removing it from my magic. Tossing it away I got on the back of my hooves taking the stave I had on me in my hooves. I had to fight him like a Zebra. I lifted the stave blocking each attack, even the stinger. He flew back growling hissing at me.
" You deserve to die a hero. You're a threat to peace. You ruined the peace when you came to this island and removed the leader of Cliffside." I growl in anger staring at him.
" You can see the past. Do you even know that the guards of that leader did to the mares of that town? If you say that I ruined the peace take a fucking look at what they did to that Goddess forsaken town. If you won't I will force you too!!" Mix laughed.
" Oh, I know what they did. Just it's the ponies hurting other ponies and Zebras. I told you, child. the past is happening again. Majesty would have stopped the threat of the Zebra's and the ponies from." A smack him from Jonon who joined in the battle. My friend's finally joined in. Skull Crusher smashes one of his fists into Mix causing him to fly back but then flies quickly at him. Now the battle was between Skull Crusher and Mix. I wanted to join in the battle. But he grabbed Mix punching him over and over.
But again the stopwatch turns back the time before my friends Join in the attack. He lifts his stinger firing the magic laser like a stinger. It smashed deep into Crusher before he could be punched. Crusher fell to the ground paralyzed. Mix quickly rushed to Crusher stabbing the stinger into his chest right in the spot of the heart. Killing him right away. Blinking my anger grew but Blaze jumped in breathing her fire burning him causing him to remove the stinger from Skull Crusher the lifeless body lay there. I just stared at it tears forming in my eyes. I lost a friend...I had to kill Mix.
Blaze's breath burns Mix to the point he dies. The stopwatch glows causing the battle to rewind. My sword flew away again. I used my staff but there wasn't a need for words. Skull Crusher was alive? He starts to punch Mix again Mix backed up his stinger getting ready to fire the laser stinger into him again. But Crusher picked up a rock tossing it into him. The laser hit the ground next to him. Crusher charges at him, the two of them fighting quickly since we have learned. Mix grew angry biting Crusher's arm forcing the venom through him. Causing him to fall to the ground again. Lifting a rock smashing it into the Minotaur's head once making the skull break.
Blaze rushed in like the first time trying to burn him. But this time he dodged out of the way. Using the rock to smash into the armor trying to break through it. Jonon joined in the attack smashing her stave into him. Causing him to move out of the way, tossing the rock with great force into Jonon stave it broke and made her fly back a bit. But she stayed on her hooves. Mix growled picking up one of the parts of the stave when Blaze opened her mouth to cause another attack of fire.
He quickly shoved the staff deep into her mouth making her choke on the wood. I rushed to her trying to pull it out. But no luck I watched the one I love choke fall to the ground. I felt my heartbreak seeing her die. I started to sob. Looking up to Mix who laughed darkly at my pain.
Jonon grabs the other part of the stave stabbing it into his chest causing the watch to turn back time again. The sword flew to the side. I shook my head the time going back to before the battle started. Skull Crusher attacked again but Mix finally seemed smarter. He lifted high into the air then triggering the Stopwatch to cause Crusher to go a little slower. He stabbed the stinger deep into the chest of Crusher causing him to die right on the spot. Mix was losing his mind. The stopwatch has been used too much. it was starting to shatter. But it kept working as he wished it to.
Blaze rushed in trying to burn him. Mix turned around getting burned a bit but when Jonon got into the fight the stave hit Blaze instead. Mix used the device again or tried to cause Blaze to go faster in time. She rushes at him so quickly. It caused him to lose the chase. He turned around making her go back to normal time. She burned him again. He used his stinger firing the magic laser from it to try to break the armor. When it hit it caused it to get heated. I started to melt a bit since Blaze was overheating from using her magic so much. Part of her neck was easy to get to. Mix quickly turned around biting into Blaze trying to drain her magic. She wasn't able to break him off.
Jonon lifts to her smashing her stave into Mix making him break off but it was already too late. I rush to her wrapping around her. " Blaze...." I said softly...She just dies right in my hooves. I was getting tired of this... I was getting very tired of this. Looking to Jonon now fighting Mix. Slice rushed in next using his saw blades. He dodged the blades causing one of Jonons hooves to be cut but not bad enough to be fully sliced off. But it didn't stop her, she kept hitting Mix. Slice turned on his flame thrower trying to burn Mix. He dodged out of the way of the fire burning Jonon. She screams falling to the ground burning to death.
Mix turns to me but before he could do anything. Slice sawed into the stopwatch. Causing it to break going back a few moments into the past. When we made it back to the start of the battle. The sword flew into the ground stabbing into it. But Mix wasn't well. He grew a second head. Half his body was a tumor looking thing. He was still able to fly. Skull Crusher and Blaze attacked at once. Crusher used his fist to grab Mix and Blaze burned him causing him to scream. Crusher got burnt a bit.
But it didn't stop Mix from gaining power from the broken stopwatch. He tossed Crusher with his small body tossing him onto Blaze causing them both to be not able to move for the moment. But he stabbed deep into Skull Crusher again the stinger going through him firing the stinger laser burning the armor on Blaze. Causing the armor to burn off then fully stabbing into her killing them both at once. Mix was getting too broken in his mind. His stinger was broken when he pulled it out from the two. He flapped there watching the rest of us. I just stared, not sure what to do my brain didn't work anymore.
I was watching those that went after him keep dying. Jonon Black feather and Dr. Slice went after him next. Black feather fired his gun, Jonon and Dr slice doing their best to keep him from moving. Mix moved to quickly cause Black feather to over fire a bit too much. He blasted Dr. Slice causing him to blow up, falling to the ground. Jonon quickly moved out of the way. Mix floated above us looking down on us.
" I will keep coming back. You can't stop me. I will keep returning. I will keep killing every single one of you. I will not be stopped."
Jonon jumped quickly using one of her knives to stab him into one of the heads. But he grabs Jonon the overuse of the watchmaking him stronger then he should be. Rushing into the ground with his large wing's smashing her into the ground on a rock. Her entire body breaking and he did it twice dropping her to the ground. The stopwatch glowed brightly. Absorbing the magic of this land. I rushed to Jonon who was already dead when she hit the ground. I turned to see Black Feather trying to use his gun again but Mix rushed quickly at him smashing into him. The stopwatch causes time around the griffin to grow older. Then Mix moved away from him. Black feather looked so old that he couldn't even walk anymore. He lay there slowly dying. He turned to look at me.
I stood up ready to battle him. He fired his laser stinger and it went into my chest. Forcing me to the ground. Mix floated there looking at all of us. I was still alive watching the last of my friends slowly die from old age. I only had one chance of prayer. " Oh, Goddess. please save us....one last battle...One last move of pain. We need to win this battle oh my dear Princess please give us your glory. Please give us glory oh Goddess please." I said while lifting Little lady in my magic to get a shot off. But my magic died. The gun falls to the ground. "Please..."
Mix laughs softly. " Praying dear hero...praying for the dead is never going to work for you. " He floated to me. I look to see all my friend's around me dead But before anything happens to me. I heard magic going off and I saw Doc stabbing my sword deep into the chest of Mix. Doc kept it there and put his hoof on it. Making sure he can't go back in time to stop it again.
Mix started to scream as he started to break apart, time started to change and go nut's around the area we were in. Magic went deep into each of my friends. They came back to life going back before the battle even started again. But I didn't. But they watched to see what was going on. " Doc.." I softly said.
" Shh, little Star Shooter. I have seen what happened. My wife is long dead. She died during the attack of the Enclave. She rescued you little one." He started to glow as well. The power of the stopwatch started to cause Mix to bend and explode a bit. The stopwatch finally reached its point.
" Slice told me... the only way to stop the Stopwatch. Some pony must give their life for it. I hurt you, child. I tried to turn you in. I even brought you into this world. I wish things could have been different" Magic went inside me slowly standing up.
" No Doc...I need you to stay alive. You can come back with me to Equestria." I tried to pull him away but Blaze's tail grabs me pulling me away from Doc.
Doc shook his head with a gentle smile on his face. " No, I feel I deserve this child. Goodbye.." Mix exploded in the magic of this land. Causing the wounded of the battle to get back up. After a while, the magic went all over the place. Repairing some of the building's it even healed some things I never knew about. But when the light vanished. All that was left behind was what remains of the stopwatch. I walked to it. Lifting the stopwatch it broke leaving behind one of the keys of the castle. Placing it in my bag. There was nobody left at all. Now maybe Doc would finally meet his wife again.
I look for my sword, the singer. But wherever Mix went my sword went with him hopefully he went to the future or the past or finally died. Maybe he can finally be at peace for all that has happened to him; he deserves all the peace that he can get.
It was time for us to move on. Looking at my friend's they remember everything that happened to them. I felt two swords stab in my back. I screamed in pain falling to the ground. I didn't know what was wrong. But I felt a foot on my back. I didn't know what was going on. Then I heard a voice that put fear in my heart. He was going to try to kill me again.
" Ah hello there....friend's." Cricket laughs loudly.
