The Last Warrior
Chapter Four
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThings got kind of hectic at around this point, guards running about and leading citizens into the castle as it is considered the safest place in Ponyville
One of the guards burst into the room looking frazzled. He began to talk extremely fast while breathing heavy, seemingly explaining something, or asking a question.
"SOLDIER! calm down none of us can understand you." Rainbow Dash called out to the guard.
"It's the chimera and a pack of timber-wolves." The guard said after taking a deep breath, "The Chimera is asking for the Warrior and said that if she doesn't come out soon then the wolves will start killing everyone."
"Warrior? do you have any idea who they are talking about?" Twilight asked the guard. The guard shook his head, saying that he all he could tell is that they meant a specific pony.
"I think they might be looking for me." Scootaloo idly fiddled with her chain, "You know, 'cause of the thing with that beast last week. He called me a Warrior." Scootaloo still had no idea what that meant.
"No! Absolutely not!" Twilight exclaimed as she stomped her way over to Scootaloo, "You are not taking on a single timber-wolf let alone a pack of them with a chimera on top of it!"
"B-but if I don't go out there they will start to kill ponies!" Scootaloo fired back.
"And why do you think that you have to be the one to fight this?" Rainbow Dash asked looking slightly less upset than Twilight.
"Because if you have the power to do something, help someone and you don't, then the blood of anyone who got hurt, or worse, killed because of whatever you ignored is on your hands." Was Scootaloo's reply. the room sat in stunned silence for a few moments after that.
"Well, that is an interesting way of looking at things, that doesn't mean yo-" Rarity began to say.
"Go, we've got you covered." Pinkie said in a low voice, and before anyone could react Scootaloo was gone. everyone in the room was quick to follow. once outside they saw the purple haired filly walking towards the chimera.
"Hey ugly!' Scootaloo called out trying to get the chimera's attention, "I heard you were looking for me."
"Oh yes-" the tiger head started.
"We most certainly-" the goat head continued
"Have been" the snake finished
"Hey that's pretty good, but cut the crap." Scootaloo flicked her wrist, unravelling her chain, "I know you don't talk like that for one and for two, I thought you wanted to fight me."
"Us Fight you?" the tiger head was already laughing and the goat head could say no more before laughing as well.
"No Warrior that's what we brought these insufferable wolves for." The snake sounded annoyed, weather at Scootaloo or the other two heads no one could tell.
One of the wolves jumped at Scootaloo from the side, trying to clamp its jaws down on her left arm. The wolf ended up biting down on nothing as Scootaloo rolled to her right coming up with a swift uppercut into another attacking wolf, once she was standing she flicked her chain out in front of herself before sweeping it towards the left to stagger the group of three wolves coming at her from the front.
"You seriously think a bunch of lame ass wooden wolves will be able to kill me?" Scootaloo seemed confident as she sent a barrage of pebbles and small stones at the group of wolves via her telekinesis, "You must be crazy to think walking trees can beat me, or really anyone in this town."
Through all of this Scootaloo didn't notice the wolf coming at her side until it had already knocked her to the ground. The wooden wolf opened its gaping jaws in an attempt to bite the filly's head off, only for Scootaloo to catch it, one hand at its snout the other on its lower jaw.
"W-we have to help her!" Fluttershy couldn't hold back her tears, "There's no way she can do this on her own."
"I don't think there's anything we can do without making the Chimaera start killing at random." Applejack was frowning, she couldn't see any way to help the young Pegasus. Applejack noticed the way that the groupe of wolves orintaited themselves, no way to take out more the one without hitting Scootaloo and risking having them start going at civilians.
"As much as I hate to say it, Girls I think Applejack may be correct." Celestia seemed to hate both the words she said and herself for saying them. Twilight dropped to her knees, her hands over her mouth with tears streaming down her face.
"She's out there fighting for us, in a fight she has no business being in." Twilight chocked and was unable to say anything for several seconds. "AND WE CAN'T HELP HER!"
"I know it sucks, but there's nothing we can do to help, not with the town in danger." Rainbow crouched down to comfort her marefriend, she then noticed the gleam of a sword hilt under some rubble, "Unless..."
"We need to start clearing the civilians out so that we can do something." Rarity was hesitant, but they had to do something. Other than Rainbow, who was busy freeing a sword, and Twilight, who couldn't get up, everyone went to help the townsfolk.
Scootaloo put as much force, both physically and telekinetically as she could into getting the wolf off of her body, she succeeded and also ripped it's lower jaw off. Reacting quickly the young Warrior grabbed the wolfs head and slammed it into the brick road beside her. Stopping to look at the mangled head of the beast Scootaloo grasped just what she had done.
"I, I killed it. Holy shit I actually killed it." Scootaloo took a step back just before the wolf started to reform, "Aw come on! I killed you so stay dead damn it!"
Before the wooden wolf could get back up Scootaloo stomped its head in, then picked it up and threw it at a wall where she decided to attempt to sever its head with her chain. This did not work, so Scootaloo ended up throwing it at the nearest storm cloud.
"Alright, who's next?" Scootaloo turned around only to see no one there, "Huh, where'd they g-" The chimera backhanded Scootaloo through the wall behind her, and the wall behind that, and the next three after that.
Alright it's my turn now bitches
A tree house that looked identical to the one at sweet apple acres sat in the middle of a wide-open field. Two young fillies were in the tree house one sitting in a chair the other laying on the floor unconscious. these girls looked identical, same clothes, same colours, orange and purple, same wings. Their only difference? The eyes, the one sitting had crimson slitted eyes while the other, whose eyes were open despite being unconscious had magenta eyes. The girl with magenta eyes gasped and sat up.
"ugh, where am I, why does my head hurt?"
"Well first of all, hello sister." the sitting filly said as she smiled down at the other filly.
"Wait, who are you? What do you mean sister? And what happened to the chimera?"
"Well in order, your in our mind. you got backhanded through several walls. I'm like a second personality in our head. Come on, we share our body and our mind and were born together how aren't we sisters. And lastly Nothing, the damned thing is still alive and kicking." The crimson eyed filly seemed to be very angry with the chimera. The magenta eyed filly looked around the area noting how it looked like the CMC clubhouse.
"So uh, do you have a name or do we need to come up with one?"
"Oh don't worry about it Sis, I am kinda partial to the name FireFly." The now named FireFly grinned, "Much like how you like the name Scootaloo."
"That's a nice name actually, I really like it." Scootaloo truly liked the name and it showed by the look on her face.
"Alright, you rest up here, I'm gonna go deal with that chimera." And with that FireFly disappeared, leaving Scootaloo to wonder if she had gone insane.
With a grunt of effort, Rainbow got the last rock off of the sword she had seen earlier.
"Holy fucking shit she tore it's jaw off at the hinge." Luna gasped in surprise as she turned the child in her arms away from the sight on reflex. Not many would be able to rip off the jaw of a timber wolf. Rainbow's head turned back to the fight in time to watch her daughter slam the wolfs head into the ground. Rainbow smiled at her daughter only to groan as the wolf started to reform. Everyone winced at Scootaloo's next actions, the other wolves seemed to be smart enough to run.
"Well, that was unnecessarily brutal." Rarity seemed almost as revolted at the idea of what just happened as Fluttershy was.
"To be fair, Timber-wolves are usually soulless automatons." Twilight chimed in, quick to defend her daughter's actions. After that, there was a loud crash that caught all of their attention. looking over they noticed Scootaloo had been knocked through several walls. There were several tense seconds before Scootaloo came back out of the hole in the first wall, only her eyes were now crimson and slit.
"Oh, that's it." FireFly was evidently in control now, "I hope you are ready to die 'cause I'm gonna make you regret the day you were born."
"Oh? You're going to do that, HA! don't make me laugh-" The Goat head was interrupted as she started to chock due to the chain now around her neck. FireFly was standing atop the chimera's back pulling her chain tighter. FireFly intended to end the chimera, after all, it had threatened innocents and that was not allowed. Unfortunately, the snake did not like this development and attempted to kill both FireFly and Scootaloo as they shared a body. FireFly jumped off of the monstrosity, letting her chain dissipate as she did so.
"Whoa, there's no need for that, both I and my sister are rather attached to this body you know." FireFly grinned as a steel sword skidded across the ground coming to a stop in front of the filly. The Warrior picked it up and tested its weight with a couple swings.
"Entirely too long and heavy, but it will do." with a swift swing at the incoming snakehead, it is severed. The other two heads gap at the limp neck/tail thing of the snake shocked at how quickly it happened. In their shock, they didn't notice the magical rainbow of harmony until it had disintegrated them.
"I don't understand." Twilight was confused, she didn't think the power of the elements would actually kill anything.
"I thought the elements were a force for good. how could they kill anything?" Fluttershy seemed terrified of the power she held within herself.
"Don't know, Don't care. But anyway names FireFly, nice to meet all of you, thanks for taking in me and my sister in, even if you thought it was just her." FireFly loved the look on Rainbow's face when she realized what that meant.
"AW COME ON!"
And that is the tale of how I scared my mother for the first time. Oh yeah also other stuff happened and we still don't know why the elements killed the chimera
