My Little Twisted Metal
A fight with Minion and Speedy's nightmare
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe storm eventually subsided leaving a dark, starry night and a open highway. Twilight couldn't sleep since her nightmare meeting with Celestio and the fact that she and Speedy now have a bounty on their heads. They were still four hours away when the radio buzzed with static and then an unfamiliar voice came on.
“This message is for the driver of the modified green Camaro, goes by Racer and holds a enemy of Celestio. Turn off the highway and enter the nearby stadium. I have two ponies in here that are dying to see you.” Speedy was still paying attention to the road until two very familiar voices came onto the radio.
“Speedy? Speedy it's me dear. I miss you.”
“Daddy I miss you! Mommy and I want to see you. Please?”
Twilight looked and saw Speedy with tears forming in his eyes. “Speedy?” Twilight said nervously as to what he was thinking. Suddenly the car lurched forward as Speedy sped off the highway towards a large looking stadium arena.
“Speedy whats going on? What's wrong?” Twilight said scared of what's happening.
“My wife and daughter! They have to be in there. I need to get them!” Speedy said as he drove faster towards the stadium.
They both entered and saw nothing but pitch black darkness as the large door behind them slammed shut. Speedy turned on the car's headlights and overhead lights and could only see a few feet ahead of them. They heard another engine and what sounded like cheering coming from all around them.
Suddenly the arena was covered in light and blinded Speedy and Twilight. They saw that the arena was filled with cheering changlings all holding merchandise that had either a yak skull or a large M on them. Both ponies were confused on what they were seeing until a loud truck horn blared in front of them.
They both saw a black semi truck with what looked like a missile launcher behind it and large cannons along the sides of the rig. Through the trucks red windows they saw the driver as a large changling wearing a familiar yak skull.
“I think we got stuck in a one on one deathmatch between us and Minion.” Speedy said to Twilight.
“Who's Minion?” Twilight said back to him with worry.
“Celestio’s personal warrior. Currently holds last year's tournament win and does whatever she is told. A little after the famous wedding in Canterlot, Celestio captured her and her changlings and forced her to do things to gruesome for others, which earned her the name Minion. But I think that we now have one thing to do” he said as he shifted the car into gear “kill this bitch.”
They both prepared for Minion to make her move so they can beat her fighting. Then Minion took off towards them while Speedy took off in another direction. “What do we have to use agianst her?” Speedy said to Twilight.
Twilight looked around the cars inventory system and showed a confident smile “at least a decent amount of bullets and a few special weapons to use.”
The car shook violently as a missile from Minions truck hit the rear. Speedy soon checked that the car's armor was halfway destroyed and that the car's fuel tank was damaged. “shit” Speedy said “she got upgrades. Only powerful military missiles can break the cars armor.” Speedy soon got behind Minion and fired at her truck. Both ponies watched as the bullets bounced off the trucks armored body.
Suddenly the cars firing system started beeping and flashing red which scared Speedy “Missile lock! She locked onto us!” Speedy soon saw the missile fly behind them and swerved just in time as the missile flew past and hit Minions truck, which left a decent size hole in the armor.
Speedy looked at the hole and at Minions weapons and suddenly thought of a plan to stop Minion. “Twilight. Tell me when the next missile will soon hit us. I'll try to keep us behind Minion.” Speedy said as he sped up right behind Minions truck.
Another missile locked onto them again and was fired again. Twilight watched as the missile got close. “and…….now!” Twilight said as Speedy swerved again and the missile hit Minion again making the hole bigger.
Twilight and Speedy cheered as the crowd above them booed at them. But through careful timing Minion was down to two rockets and had a hole that went into the weapons system of her truck. But then the car started to smoke and slow down which made Speedy nervous. “The engine overheated! I can't speed up to Minion to end her. We need to think of something to stop or slow her down.”
Twilight looked at Minions truck then remembered what she said earlier ‘a few special weapons to use’. Twilight then opened up the cars rocket launch system and armed the launchers. “What are you doing?” Speedy said to her.
“Using the rockets. If we use them mixed with that missile we can fully end Minion once and for all.” Twilight said as a missile locked on again.
“I hope you're right about this Twilight” Speedy said as he started pushing the car's engine. He knew the engine couldn't take much more and would eventually stop completely if they didn't die first. Soon the rocket is right behind them and Twilight prepared to hit the launch button.
“Now!” Twilight said to Speedy as she pressed the launch button. Speedy swerved as multiple rockets flew out of the launchers as the missile flew past them. They stopped the car and watched as Minions truck erupted in flames and exploded sending large shrapnel everywhere.
Speedy and Twilight soon cheered that she was destroyed but screamed as a large piece hit the car knocking them out as the force made them hit their heads. Soon Speedy and Twilight were out cold and in their dreamscapes.

Speedy awoke with a gasp in his leather chair. He was breathing fast and looked around seeing that he wasn't in his car but in his living room back at home. Speedy went outside and saw that he was in fact at home in his trailer inside his junkyard. He looked back inside and saw a familiar cello sitting next to the table.
Speedy remembered the wedding of him and his wife and the soon after birth of their little filly. He walked into the junkyard and heard giggling, which his daughter did when she played hide and seek. Speedy chuckled and walked deeper into the junkyard which suddenly got darker.
He soon felt nervous and that he shouldn't be there. But just as he turned around he heard the loud screams of his wife and ran deeper into the junkyard. “Tavi?! Crescendo?! Where are you two?!” Speedy said running deeper and deeper into the yard. But slowed as he started hearing a familiar ice cream tune coming from in front of him.
Soon he saw the silhouette of a mare and filly. “Octavia? Crescendo?” Speedy said nervous. Then a light shines over them and it's revealed that they had their throats slit and positioned at statues smiling towards Speedy, except for their eyes which were gouged out and placed on Ice cream cones they were holding.
“No…...no….” Speedy said backing away “no no no no!”. He kept saying this as everything got darker and darker around him. Soon he was in pitch black with sounds of laughter all around him. He fell to the ground and covered his ears. “Stop it! STOP IT!”
Speedy awoke to him lying in a bed in a hotel room. He looked around and wondered if it was another dream, but dismissed that thought as he heard a nearby shower going and what sounded like Twilight either singing or talking to herself. She walked back out shortly after drying off and sat on the other bed.
“You were out for a couple hours. I drove the rest of the way to Las Pegasus and got us a hotel.” Twilight said. Speedy lied back onto the bed and sighed.
“Thanks for driving” He said to Twilight, which she responded by smiling and lied down to go to sleep. Speedy just looked towards the ceiling as Twilight quietly slept in the other bed.
“Tomorrow is gonna be a long day.”
