YHaY: Side Note...

“How long you think she’s going to follow us?” I asked Orphan. Orphan in turn just shrugged. Ever scents we left the courtroom, Orphan said he spotted some pony following us right from the get go. He said he thinks that it was one of the ponies that found his body from before. “She wants to know why you’re not dead then?” I asked. Orphan just sighed. I took that as a ‘Yup.’ “Sorry…” I said.

Orphan stopped walking forcing me to do the same. The pony behind us jumped into something, a bush. But I can’t tell for sure. “Tell me Evaelk. Why do you think I’m mad at you?” He asked openly.

“Because I’m an Idiot?” I answered. Knowing no one else can hear me. Orphan just sighed again. “I’m wrong then?” I replied to my own answer. “Then what?” I asked.

“You most indubitably an idiot Evaelk. But you made me realize something with that whole mess.” Orphan said not caring if anypony was listening in. Me, just tilting my head in response. “I think it’s about time to show these ponies you’re not a monster.” I suppressed a chuckle at that. “At least show them you’re not dangerous…” again, made me chuckle. Orphan sighed. “You’re right, just want a way…” He stopped mid sentence when I think he was blind-sided by something.

“Orphan?!” I said a little panicky as I heard him smash into a near-by wall. Spreading my legs and putting up my hands like Orphan taught me I then heard hoof steps from the other way round, coming closer.

“Interesting.” I heard a mare say as she walked past me, keeping her distance from me in the process. “No pony should’ve been able to teach something like that to a human.” She paused for a moment as she stopped walking. “It even haves a perfect stance.” She said as I heard rubble shuffling downwards from Orphan’s current position. “I kinda want to know how you trained it to fake your death?”

“Wait a tik? She was the pony chasing me before, isn’t she behind a bush?” I thought out loud. “When she?..” I started listening for anything. However, I heard that bush every few seconds. “Some ponies still in there.”

Orphan’s hoof suddenly popped out of the rubble, then his head. “Miss.” He said. I heard him clearly aggravated. I guess that’s to be expected. He died like four times in a day. The first of which was all me. I guess the court didn’t help. “I would vary much appreciate it…” He started pulling himself out. “if you be so kind as to not try to kill me right now.” He said as I relaxed and sat down. I knew Orphan’s not a killer. No matter how pissed he gets. I heard him take a breath.

“That’s the kicker.” She said. “I don’t think you can.”

“Ooh?” Orphan question. I could only imagine a smile on his face.

“Before I thought about it, I went back to the crime scene.” She said, her voice sounded a little distressed. “The only evidence in the whole place was a broken window.” Orphan let out a small humph of amusement. “There’s nothing there! No blood, No Gore, No Bucking Carnage!” Wait, sorry, that rustling’s annoying. “And why would you go to court if you were going to fake dying?” I stood up and started walking to the bush. “It, wasn’t planned.”

“You’re vary astute, aren’t yah kid?” Orphan replied as I stopped in front of the bush. “Pardons, Miss?”

“Jigsaw.” She said as I kneeled down. “And you? No way it’s orphan.”

“Sshhh” I heard a pony behind the bush. Nope. I grabbed the pony with a hand and lifted. It had a lot of hair. “Hay!” the Mare yelped. “No no, please let go!”

“Bijou, hah, you still trying to kidnap me?” I asked. Knowing only Orphan capable of hearing it. I then stood up showing her off.

………………………………………………………………………………

It’s ok, It’s ok, It’s fine, I’m good, it’s all, really Bucked up!” Ritter Spirit trying to move himself from a back corner of a morgue. “What in Tartarus was that?!” Ritter took one last moment and took a few deep breaths. “It’s been hours scents the zombie pony left. Calm down.” He said to himself. “You should’ve let me at him.” He said as he changed his tone to his voice. “Buck no!” Changing it again. “I wanted too!”

“RITTER!” Some pony yelled at him, causing him to jump and gawk at Pep-On. “It’s. fine.” Pep-On said. “we need to go, you think you three can do that?” Ritter just nodded. “Good.” Pep-On said handing a hoof to Ritter.

“Sorry.” Ritter said as he took his friend’s offer. Pep-On pulled up Ritter as both a smile and a frown flashed almost simultaneously on his face.

“What does Jigsaw say to you all the time?” Pep-On asked.

“To not hold back.” Ritter Replied.

“And you didn’t think a pony coming back to life, wasn’t a good time to, Not hold back?” Pep-On questioned.

“It’s because he was alive!” Ritter raised his voice a little. “I didn’t want one of them to kill him for real!”

“Ok ok,” Pep-On said, sighing in the process. “Jigsaw went ahead, care to follow her, or you want to go home for now?”

“Home.” Ritter replied. “I mean, I go with you but…”

“Naah.” Pep-On interrupted. “Go home. We’ll be back for you later. How’s a week?”

Taking another deep breath. “Yeah, a week sounds nice.” Ritter said, then both he and Pep-On walked out of the morgue. As the both of them stepped outside, the pair spotted Jigsaw following the giant and it’s owner, and out of the corner their eyes, there snuck Valley Bijou. “That’s odd?” Ritter said.

“Agreed.” Pep-On replied. “I mean Jiggy following them is, normal. But that other pony…”

“Should we follow her?” Ritter said reluctantly.

“Nope.” Pep-On said. “You know how she is, and you know she can handle any type of shit thrown at her.”

“Oh Thank Celestia.” Ritter said relieved.

“I’m out, you coming?” Pep-On asked Ritter, turning away from the scene in front of them.

“Yeah, sure.” Ritter replied and followed Pep-On.

………………………………………………………………………………

“Why?.” Jigsaw said as she followed the odd pair, trying her best to keep out of sight. Eventually the pair stopped, so she ducked behind a bush then started to listen, “The stallion seemed frustrated” she thought.

“You most indubitably an idiot Evaelk.”

“Wait?” Jigsaw said.

“But you made me realize something with that whole mess.”

“Is he actually talking to that beast?” She questioned herself.

“I think it’s about time to show these ponies you’re not a monster.”

“Really? She mouthed.

“At least show them you’re not dangerous…”

“Fat chance at that you old coot.” She whispered.

“You’re right,”

“Wait?! Did he just hear me?! Buck.”

“just want a way…” He stopped mid sentence when She shot a beam of straight up energy at him, blindsiding him, crashing him through a wall. She then proceeded to walk out of the bush. She then saw something that she never expected in her life. The human just went into a stance as if he were about to defend himself. It was like some pony designed a fight style made for humans to use. “Interesting.” She said out loud.

………………………………………………………………………………

“He be mine.” Valley Bijou stated as she snuck from corner to corner, keeping out of sight from the ponies in front of her. “Why he not listening?” she asked her self. It was a few minutes when the pony in front and his human stopped and the mare behind them hid in a bush. “And what she want?” Bijou said just before she saw the unicorn shoot a beam of light from her horn, hitting the stallion into a wall. Then when she walked out from behind the bush, Bijou quickly, quietly scampered to it. “Coo… maybe they kill em selves soon?” she asked no particular pony. As the pair spoke to each other, Bijou giggling to herself when all the sudden she looked up to find the human looking right at her. “Sshhh” she tried to make the human not show where she was hiding, but a huge hand grabbed her mane and yanked her out.

“What the Buck?!” Jigsaw yelped as both her and Orphan looked at Bijou struggling to get out of the grip of this human.

Bijou herself was rather shocked at the situation. All her life humans adored her, loved her. Why not this one?

………………………………………………………………………………

Orphan just stared at the mare hanging by Evaelk’s hand, her legs flailing all over the place. “let go, let go, please yes? We’re not trying to hurt you boy.” Bijou said.

“Boy…” Orphan repeated. “Evaelk, if you be so kind to throw her over here please.”

Jigsaw with her own poker face at the moment, but behind it was amazement. The monster understood him perfectly as he threw the mare right to the stallion’s hooves.

Bijou lying on the ground she thought about what to do now. I mean, damn it she really wants Evaelk for reasons her own, and of course for some reason she thinks Evaelk doesn’t like you like, Every Other Human Ever.

Suddenly the sound of some pony screaming for in the distance. Every pony turned to see Ritter charging straight for Jigsaw. He looked pissed. The amount of rage on that stallion’s face was the polar opposite of what Orphan dealt with before. “Turret?!” Jigsaw yelped as she barely avoided Ritter’s head-butt. Evaelk wasn’t so lucky. Full on collision made Evaelk go flying upwards.

………………………………………………………………………………

“So, what you talking about?” Pep-On asked Ritter as the pair walked through a crowd of other ponies.

“Whaa.?” Ritter replied. “Not saying a word Pep-On.”

“Oh Please.” Pep-On said with a chuckle. “I known you long enough to see when you’re talking to yourself.

“Noo.” Ritter said. “Just shut it.” He said with a different tone.

“Ritter.” Pep-On said sternly. “I want to talk to you, not Turret.”

“No choice at the moment piss-ant.” Ritter said as he stopped in the middle of traffic.

“Turret?” Pep-On asked. “Maybe you shouldn’t stop here.” However Ritter just glared at him, which just made Pep-On back away. “Terrific” he thought. Ponies from all around them started complaining about how they’re getting held back by the pair in front of them. “Umm. You ponies don’t want to do that, please?” Pep-On said.

A random pony within the crowd spoke up. “and why not?” another pony from the other side then “Just move.” And one more so far. “What the deuce is going on over there?”

“Ok, Fine…” Pep-On said as he backed away from Ritter. “I warned you all. My conscience is clear. See you all in Tartarus.”

“GODDES BUCKING DAMN IT!” Ritter yelled in the air, causing Pep-On an every pony surrounding them to jump. “Who The Buck Do You Think I Am?!” he asked at no pony in particular as he turned around and stormed off.

Running back to Jigsaw and the rest. Pep-On thought. Letting out a groan as he thought “right… I guess I’m off… shit.” He then started his charge after Ritter.

………………………………………………………………………………...

“I’m in the air? I’m flying! Wait no, Falling now. Wait? Shit! Which way’s the ground?!” I said just before landing with a hard thud on the ground, dislocating my left shoulder. “Fuck! Oueh. Pain? Ahhhh” I thought as I sat up.

“Turret?! What the Buck you out for?” Jigsaw said.

“Turret?” I repeated. “Pony’s strong, and he didn’t feel that big or that built. Orphan?”

“You’re that pony I scared haft to death? Orphan said. “Where that back bone come from?” He asked.

“NO, no no danget, what’s all this? We just want him!” Bijou started ranting gibberish as I decided to look for a wall. Need to do something about my arm.

“Why you think I’m out?! Ritter’s to much of a coward!” Ritter said… Turret?

“Damn it Ritter.” Jigsaw sighed.

“op, found a wall.” I thought, then bashed my shoulder in it. It took two goes before I popped the joint back in place. However I then felt something vary uneasy. Orphan was at his breaking point. I could just feel the frustration in the air. “um, Orphan? I could go for a tic, if you like.?” I asked being careful not to actually get him pissed. Yes, I know what I said before, no, he will NOT kill, but that still doesn’t make him any less scary.

“Don’t Damn it me.” Ritter replied as he pounced at Jigsaw. The pair started a scuffle right in front of every pony.

“Oh come on Ritter!” Jigsaw yelled. “WAKE UP!”

It was a moment of Orphan just standing there, I felt the air thicken with his anger. “Enough.” I heard Orphan say. But no pony stopped.

“Shit!” I thought crouching down and covering my ears. I knew what was coming.

“I said, ENUOGH!” he roared to what can only be describe as, an Equestrian Voice. It shook the vary air for a tic. Scary… Every pony stopped after that. Jigsaw standing there, Ritter sounded as he was cowering in fear, wonder what happen to that back bone just now, Bijou sounded as if she was about to burst into tears, and me, well, I waited. “I’m going to go now, I would love it if everyone were to leave me alone.” He said.

“Every pony” Jigsaw mumbled.

“Don’t you dare test me miss Jigsaw.” Orphan said slowly walking up to her. “I’m well aware of what I said you sociopathic git. It’s your lucky day,” stopping face to face in front of her. “I’m allowing you to take my human off my hooves.” What? “Do what you will.” Wait? “that’s what you want, partly at least.” What’s going on? “say for harming him in anyway” Well… “If you do, I can’t guaranty what he’ll do.” Oh, so it’s on me then? “That’s just it Evaelk!” he clearly not caring in the slightest what the others were thinking of him right now. “You’re the one that started this whole bucking mess. Ah ah! No, don’t speak.” I gave him a deadpan glare.

“Some ponies crazy as buck?” Ritter mumbled.

OH! Don’t get me started.” Orphan continued. “you’re the bi-polor nut-job that attacks his own friend for, I assume, no good BUCKING REASON!” Ritter just quivered in place. “And how bout you?” I assumed he asked Bijou. “What’s your idiom huh? Why you so fixated on my human?” Bijou however silent with fear. “Spit it out!” he said.

“Well um, he not a good listener.” She said haft-hazard-ly.

“Elaborate. Miss. Bijou.” Orphan said clearly trying to culm down.

“Umm. Humans do what we say, all the time.” She said. “Not Him.”

Suddenly I heard hoof steps. Slowly getting louder. “Hay, Jigsaw? Is Turret with you?” Pep-On said from afar.

“Oh! I new player I hear.” Orphan started as Pep-On slowed to a stop near where Jigsaw stood. “What’s your gig? A pony always late to the party, right?”

“Hay, sir, that was uncalled for.” Pep-On protested.

Peps, not now.” Jigsaw said.

“AAAAHHHHH!” Orphan roared. But then took a breath. “Peps was it? My apologies.” He said emotionless. “You and your friends are going to leave me alone now. You three shouldn’t poke your pretty little heads in things you clearly don’t understand, but buck it, Evaelk, be a good boy will yah.” Huh? “Play nice with these three.” Fuck…

“Wait? What’s going on?” Pep-On asked.

“He just dumped his human on us.” Jigsaw said.

“What?” Ritter asked.

“Oh.” Orphan continued. “You might want to arrest this mare. Throw her in the funny farm and make sure she doesn’t meet that minty unicorn, they might become friends. I don’t think any pony wants that.”

“She really that crazy then?” Pep-On, asked.

“Maybe…” Orphan said. “I don’t rightly care. I’m going to go now. And yes, I just realized I said that twice… good bye strangers.” He said as he turned and started to walk away.

“And I don’t get a say in this?” I asked.

“Buck No!” “Orphan said a ways away.
