Tears of the Angel
Episode One: Seeya Doctor
Load Full Story‘’Haha! We finally did it!’’
The blue Pegasus screamed at the top of his lungs, his smile somehow wider than any of Pinkies famed smiles. His mechanical wings twitched excitedly, further adding to his excitement.
The other ponies around him were either following his example, or frowning at him with half lidded stares. Of course, the Pegasus either took no notice of this, or was much to excited to care.
‘’I’m surprised that plan worked.’’
A neon pink mare chuckled, brushing her long mane from her face.
‘’I don’t think any of us did.’’ A light green alicorn muttered. A rant about how stupid this was already forming, the alicorn opened her mouth to begin a shouting fit, but was cut off by a hoof being shoved into her mouth.
‘’Dusky...we talked about this...’’ A dark blue earth pony with a reddish brown mane scolded the mare.
‘’Mmfgh, mmmhdghffh!’’ Dusky Novel tried to threaten through the hoof still placed firmly over her mouth. Her glare barely fazed the stallion.
Meanwhile in the corner of the room, a white unicorn sat, her body faced towards the wall. She was feeling both left out, even though she had been brought along, and annoyed she had been talked into this harebrained scheme. The pink mare took notice, and walked over to her.
''Oh Symmetrical, do you need a hug?'' She cooed.
''Yeah.'' Symmetrical answered simply, before turning and wrapping her hooves around her friend.
The dark blue stallion smiled warmly, watching the sweet moment. ''Heart warming, but Sym? You do realize you can come over here and join us.''
''We should get out the cider and have a party to celebrate!'' Thunder Rider cut in, cutting off Symmetrical before she could say anything.
The blue Pegasus produced two large bottles of apple cider from no where, and smiled widely.
''Mghrggmmm,gurghmmghm!'' Dusky tried to shout through the earth pony's hoof.
''Thunder, I don't think that's such a good idea.''
''And why is that Fluffy?''
''That's Agent Fluffy to you.'' Fluffy grinned, ''And don't you remember what happened last time Dusky came into contact with cider?''
''He turned into Drunksy Novel.'' Symmetrical chuckled lightly. A small smile finally curling onto her lips.
The blue earth pony's head snapped in Symmetrical's direction, ''Now your getting into the spirit of things!'' He grinned. ''Although that was supposed to be my joke...''
''Oh Swift Blade, I'm the only one allowed to make jokes around here!'' Thunder bellowed happily, bouncing around.
''Thunder...are you drunk already?'' Swift Blade's eyelids lowered, and he stared un-amused at the Pegasus.
Staring in the opposite direction, a bead of sweat trickling down his face, Thunder smiled nervously. ''N-No way, totally not.''
From the other side of the room, fiddling with the control panel while Thunder pranced around like a lune, was a dark blue bat pony, who looked as pissed as a bat pony could be. Which was a lot.
''How the heck am I supposed to fly this thing!? Swift, Dusky? Anypony know how to fly this thing?''
''Chill Forgotten, I got this.'' Swift said, grinning. ''Now, I'm letting go Dusky, keep your mouth shut.''
''I would chill a lot more if I wasn't sure I was going to be late for my job!'' Forgotten Dream's complained, his glare silencing the earthpony before he could say anything.
''This is a time machine remember?'' Fluffy piped up. She giggled, causing all the ponies in the room to hold their hearts to prevent heart attacks from the shear cuteness of it all.
''Babe, your still the smartest one aboard this vessel of time travel.'' A hovering black cloud piped up. Nopony had noticed him since he blended in the steam coming from the floor, his red eyes were the only things that made him stand out more. Steam was also supposed to be good, right?
''Thanks crimson.'' The pink unicorn smiled, and allowed the cloud to wrap his claws around her in a hug, nopony knew what crimsonpit really looked like, or where the claws came from, but they never got a straight answer from the diabolical cloud.
To Swift, the only real disturbing fact about the hovering dark cloud, was the lack of capital letters in his name.
Symmetrical slowly approached the console and stared at it with wonder, curiosity, and annoyance that there was nothing she could do to help pilot the damn craft they were riding around in. ''Hey, any of you mind actually flying this stupid thing?'' She aimed at Swift and Thunder.
''Oh all right, lets go Swift Blade!'' Thunder sighed in slight annoyance, before slowly walking over to the controls.
The earth pony sighed, unslung the longsword that sat snugly on his back, placed it against one of the rails, and joined the Pegasus at the controls.
''Thank you, now hurry up and land us before we get killed bouncing around in time and space.'' Forgotten ordered, as he stepped away from the controls. His bat wings fluttered in irritation, the only sign that he was nervous in this machine. The storyteller had been around for thousands of years, but being in a machine that had been around even longer than him made him feel uncomfortable.
Seething with unshed rage, Dusky approached one of the walls and flapped her wings several times, causing the beetle sitting silently to be flung from his perch, hurtling towards the ground, before suddenly shapeshifting into a unicorn stallion wearing a nice set of glasses perched on his nose.
''Hey! Not cool...geeze Dusky, we all know you love to start ranting, but you don't have to take it out on your friends.'' The shape shifter complained, before grinning, ''If you want to rant, you can, later.''
''Xan, not helping.'' Swift muttered from his position at the controls.
''Guys! Guys! The view out there is awesome! You guys should really see this!'' A green Pegasus mare flapped over to her friends, a big cheerful smile plastered on her face.
From somewhere on the ceiling, clinging precariously to one of the pipes, was a greyish white Pegasus with a yellow mane, striped with green. She mumbled, ''Yeah...awesome.'' Nopony really noticed though.
From one of the hallways, a pink Pegasus mare with a crown perched atop a blue and purple mane stepped out, a small smile on her lips. ''Is there any chance you could take us to the potato planet if there is one?''
''Kitty, as much fun as that would be...Xan and Swift would probably eat it before we got to explore to much.'' Dusky chuckled, her smile finally returning. She poofed over to Kitty and conjured a potato out of thin air, and handed it to the Pegasus with a wing. ''For you.''
''Thanks!'' Kitty Wish beamed, before snatching the potato with a hoof and munching on it, a look of bliss on her face. Nopony, not even herself, knew what her deal was with potato's, but they didn't judge, nor question. They were all very weird.
''Hey Lulu, you mind explaining why they let you and that Pegasus up there on this crazy trip?'' Forgotten asked, his glare shifting to the older ponies of the group. ''This could be dangerous.''
Lulu Song laughed, and her oversized wings extended, as she stood proud, ''Because adventure called out for me, and I intend to find out why!'' She proclaimed to the room of her friends.
''By the way, who's she anyway?'' Xan asked from his side of the room, gesturing at the shy Pegasus still huddled in the ceiling.
''That's Swift's sister'' Fluffy smiled.
''Well then, hey Swift's sister! Get down there and introduce yourself before you break something.'' In truth, Thunder Rider was more worried she would break something in the TARDIS rather than about her well being.
''Her names Shimmer Light, but don't expect much, she's not very talkative.'' Swift sighed, before returning to his work at piloting the TARDIS.
Yes, the members of The Everlasting Production crew were on the TARDIS, and they were up for a big adventure.
A red maned unicorn stallion suddenly came running from one of the hallways. His features that of shock, horror, and annoyance.
''Guys! There's a fu-''
''Hey!'' Symmetrical shouted, her horn flaring up and a paper airplane smacked the stallion in the head. ''This project is PG, none of that Isreal!''
''Sorry...'' Isreal Yabuki muttered, before returning to his original sentence. ''There's a room filled with water! Why does something like that exist here! This place is horrifying!''
''Isreal...that's called a swimming pool...'' Dusky deadpanned.
''Alright guys, we stole the legendary TARDIS, you should all know what that stands for.'' Thunder grinned merrily, before staring at the directly at...one of the walls. ''But just for the viewers I'll say it, Time And Relative Dimension In Space. TARDIS.''
''Yeah, we did, why did we do that again?'' Agent Fluffy narrowed her eyes, as if in deep thought, which she probably was.
''To rule the univer-'' crimsonpit was cut off by Lulu, who was bouncing in excitement.
''Adventure!!!''
''Exactly!'' Thunder smiled, before suddenly throwing a switch on the TARDIS control console, causing the entire room to shake violently, causing several ponies and one annoyed cloud of darkness to begin tumbling around.
''Wrong switch Thunder!'' Swift shouted, holding tightly onto the gramophone that jutted out of the console before him.
''I regret coming with you brooooooo!'' Shimmer Light screamed from the ceiling, still clinging desperately to the rafter.
Thinking on pure instinct, Forgotten raced up to Thunder, shoved him aside, and flipped another switch, and the room slowed down, before the shaking stopped, allowing the crew to stand again.
''Uh...Forgotten? How the hell did you just do that?'' Dusky questioned, still righting himself and helping Kitty off the floor.
''Maybe the TARDIS likes him?'' Swift offered, rubbing his head, trying to make sure his brain hadn't been knocked out of place.
''Couldn't like him anymore then it likes me...'' The blue Pegasus grumbled, before returning to his work of piloting the craft.
''Hey guys, we're on the TARDIS right?'' Xan said, a small smile curling onto his lips. ''So that means...''
''It means what? Don't keep us in suspense! Spit it out!'' Israel began shaking poor Xans brains out, causing the changeling's next words to come out slightly shaky.
''T-That m-means w-we're a-all r-running f-from s-something!'' Xan managed to spit out.
''How do you figure that? Symmetrical asked, although she figured she knew the answer already.
''Thunder's rants about The Doctor.'' Xan sighed, trying to regain his composure once Israel had finally let go of him.
''If that's the case'' Dusky said, his smile returning, then we should tell stories about why we're here.'' The great Grimdark narrator couldn't resist telling a story.
''Oooh Oooh! Can I go first!'' Fluffy shouted, raising a foreleg in the air and bouncing around in little circles.
''Go ahead Fluffy.'' Thunder chuckled, before suddenly flying over to her, booping her on the nose, and flying back to his spot at the controls.
''This should be good, Lulu smiled, sitting down with a bag of popcorn everypony figured Thunder had given her.
''Go for it babe,'' crimson smiled, or would have if he had a mouth, maybe he did, nopony knew for sure. Clouds are weird like that. ''We're all ears.''
''There's a planet where Everypony's all ears.'' Swift chuckled, and everypony shot him a glare.
''Oh you mean like-'' Israel started,
''No.'' Sym deadpanned.
''Alright, I'm out here in space and time with you guys, because I'm running from the changelings.''
''WHAT!?'' Everypony exclaimed at the same time, except for Israel, who simply lifted a foreleg, which was now wreathed in flamed, and crimsonpit, whose red eyes darkened to blood red, ''Who are these sorry fools, let me at em.'' They said as one.
''Guys! Shush!'' Sym pointed a hoof at the two, her horn flaring sending two paper airplanes crashing into their foreheads, or rather, Israel's forehead, and the second paper plane went through crimson, not even fazing him. It did, magic airplanes fazed him, but he refused to show it.
''Anyway, I'm running from them. I used to be a changeling, now I'm stuck in this one shape. I ran from them because I was different, they made fun of me, and they picked on me, because I looked more like a pony then a changeling. So I escaped them, and then I fell under a zebra curse, and now I'm trapped as me forever. But I'm fine with that.''
Some ponies shed tears. Other stomped their hooves in applause, and crimsonpit floated over to Fluffy and gave her a hug. He has claws remember?
''Who's next?'' Fluffy asked, her smile returning.
''I'll go.'' Xan hurried to the front of the crowd, and began his tale:
''My story is similar to that of Fluffy's, but mine is much worse. I run from the ponies and the changelings. I run because they mocked me, and when I left to try and become just another pony, they...they found out what I was, and they threw me out...''
There was silence, followed by a small group hug that revolved around Xan. When the surrounding ponies backed off, Dusky spoke:
''Xan, change back into your true form. You don't need to pretend for anypony here.'' The Alicorn smiled gently.
With a small nod, and a smile, the unicorn began to glow, then was enveloped in a small cloud of smoke, and when the dust began to clear, there stood a very happy looking changeling. With glasses.
''Thanks.''
With that, the storytelling resumed. Israel was the next to step up, shoving past a rather annoyed Dusky and taking his position as the center of attention. With a deep breath and a grin, Israel lifted a hoof in the air, igniting his horn at the same time, causing a glowing ball of flame to appear right above his outstretched hoof.
As he began his little tale, images of the events described floated around inside the fireball, further adding to his story.
''Once upon a time, after a rather awkward run in with several of the mares I've had relations with before, I found myself on the run from every single one of them, I assume they were angry that there was so many other mares that I've-''
''Nope.''
Israel suddenly found a rather sharp blade pointed against his throat, and a dead stare from the wielder.
''Alright, alright Swift, I get the point. Rather sharp one at that.'' Israel's look of shock shifted to that of a cheeky grin, causing a rather loud complaint from crimsonpit.
''I hate puns!''
''Anyway, Dusky you go next.'' Swift gestured for the only Alicorn in the room to step forward.
''Alright, let me weave you a tale, my little ponies, of horror, terror, and slaughter.'' Dusky's eyes became shadowed, and his grin grew, as he continued. ''A long time ago, I was your average everyday Alicorn,''
''What's so average about being an Alicorn?'' Sym commented.
''Anyway, I read books, and fanfictions here and there, and all across Equestria I became known, and ponies would speak my name in whispers, I was the stuff of legend...'' Dusky paused, and took a deep breath, ''I grew to quickly, and they noticed, however, it wasn't them who knocked me down in the end...it was some little pony with the nerve to meddle with my power...I was framed for the aftermath, and now I'm here.''
Tears were falling from several of the listeners eyes once again, so they hugged Dusky.
''Hey! No! Oh alright...''
''My turn!!'' Thunder exclaimed with a sudden burst of energy, jumping into the air and extending his wings to full length, sending the surrounding ponies sprawling in several directions. ''I have possibly the most dramatic and complicated story arc anypony has ever seen!''
''Your from an alternate universe...'' Symmetrical groaned, rubbing at a sore spot on her head as she slowly stood up. ''Of course your story arc is complicated...''
''Boop.'' Thunder said teasingly, sticking his tongue and poking the mare's nose, causing her to take a swing at him, which he promptly dodged. ''If I may get on with my story, thank you. It all started a long time ago, back when I was younger, far more naïve, and no where near as handsome and smart as I am now.''
''You mean a couple months ago?'' crimson joked.
''Shaddup, anyway...''
Thunder strode down the streets of Ponyville, his heart filled with bliss, and his mind free of worry. Everything seemed to be going his way today. Nopony had tried to use him as a living puppet, aliens hadn't tried to secretly take over Equestria, and Everypony's noses had been booped.
However, that's when it happened...
''No. No it can't be...'' Thunder breathed, his eyes shrinking to the size of pinpricks. ''It's you...but I thought I destroyed you using the power of stealing Pinkie's party cannon and launching you into space!''
What stood before Thunder was the most horrifying thing he could have ever imagined, something he saw in his nightmares, the being that even he couldn't defeat...
The one with no nose... Spring Water the noseless!!!
Spring Water was a mare who had lost her nose in a freak surgery accident, and although she tried to live her life normally...
''I'll destroy you again! As many times as it takes!'' Thunder shouted, suddenly producing an elegant looking cane from under his wing, pointing it at his feared enemy with a buzzing sound, before turning in the opposite direction and flying away as fast as his wings could take him.
''My sonic cane said I had to steal a TARDIS and get you guys to help, so here we all are, and that's what I'm running from.'' Thunder finished his tale with a smug grin.
''That is literally the stupid story I have heard.'' Stated a very annoyed horse with a horn and several paper airplanes ready to attack.
''Well how about you go?'' Lulu said with a small smile.
Symmetrical groaned, and took her place, and began her tale...
''Flesh eating shadows.'' Sym put simply. ''During some of my travels I was wandering through some shady tree's, and a bunch of really dark areas caught my attention, they were-''
''Is this going to get interesting or are you just gonna talk about shadows?'' Shimmer Light called out from behind the TARDIS console.
''Yes! Anyway... everything that past through these shadows that was biological was suddenly stripped of all meat on their bones in a split second. Like they were being speed eaten. So I did the only logical thing. I chucked a random terrible edgy black and red Alicorn passerby into the shadow and watched as they stood up like they were possessed, and began trying to attack me. And that's how I learned about the flesh eating shadows and why they terrify me so much that I still have nightmares about meeting them again.'' Symmetrical finished.
''Hey who turned out the lights!'' Shouted a voice from behind the unicorn.
Symmetrical immediately spun around and lashed out a kick at Thunder, however, the kick completely missed, and hit Swift Blade directly in the face.
The blue earthpony hit the wall and slid down with a comical sliding sound. ''Ow...''
''If I may,'' Forgotten said, stepping forward with a curt nod and smiling wickedly. ''I have-''
''Forgotten your story?'' Israel shouted from the background, which resulted in a rather long chase scene between him and crimsonpit that lasted long into the trip.
During the chaos, Swift and Thunder decided to take a break from piloting and head off to check out the rest of the TARDIS. It wasn't everyday that one got to see the TARDIS in all it's glory. The others gave up on getting a chance to tell their own stories, although they would be told at some point, and left the main area to explore for themselves, which left only Dusky and Kitty.
''So...'' Kitty mumbled awkwardly, glancing away from Dusky with a faint blush.
''Yeah...so you wanna talk about where we might be headed?''
Dusky and Kitty glanced back at each other, before they suddenly embraced in a passionate-
Meanwhile in another room in the TARDIS...
Israel had finally ditched crimsonpit, for a little while at least. He looked around, taking in his surroundings. He was in what looked like a room that one might use to send private hologram messages. He grinned, and sauntered up to the control panel, and switched it on.
A blue tinted hologram suddenly illuminated the room, revealing a blue mare with an hourglass cutie mark.
''Heeeeeeey...Colgate is the interface here? Doctor, you have good taste.''
''Hey! I'm not Colgate! I just look like her moron! It's Minuette! Also, if your expecting me to do as you wish and talk all sexy like for you Israel, you will be sadly disappointed.'' She scolded, her glare somehow not fazing the flame pony.
''Oh...well could you at least wink at me and give me a little wave?''
''No.''
It was at this moment that Swift walked by, and he paused for a second, glancing into the room. ''May I ask what's going on?''
''Oh, hello Swift.'' Not Colgate fluttered her eyelashes at the earth pony, and sent him a little wave. ''Enjoying the TARDIS I hope?''
''Yep. Well seeya Israel, Colgate.'' With that Swift walked off without a second glance.
Israel's jaw was laying on the ground, and he huffed in annoyance. ''That son of a-'' His words were censored out by a loud bleep from the machinery. ''He gets all the mares...and he gets to call her Colgate...''
Even farther into the TARDIS...
Symmetrical was sitting by the pool, fiddling around with her magic, ink materializing into the water, while Lulu Song and Shimmer attempted to figure out the vending machine. They weren't having any luck.
Thunder on the other hoof was swimming around majestically, using his wings like paddles, his wings were a special metal alloy, so they wouldn't rust.
However, it was then that Thunder realized he had swam to close to Sym, and because he was mostly submerged in the water, he accidently swallowed some ink. It was then that Thunder knew only one thing. He fucked up.
''Hurk! This is freaking gross! Gurk! I'm choking to death here! Somepony get me my sonic cane!'' He choked out, which resulted in the others laughing so hard they nearly burst into tears.
''Whoops.'' Sym shrugged.
Now we return to Dusky and Kitty, who were in a very awkward position. Dusky was lying upside down against a wall, his face firmly planted into the wall.
Dusky and Kitty had found themselves locked in a passionate hoof wrestling match that resulted in Kitty throwing the green Alicorn head over tea kettle into the nearest wall. It was so very painful.
''I feel like that was unnecessary...why did you do that?'' Dusky groaned, trying to right himself.
Kitty merely shrugged, ''You deserved it sourpuss. Now get up and try again before I send you back to the candy dimension.''
''Okay...'' The alicorn mumbled, ''But if you slap me with your wings again I swear by Celestia's large tush I will blow something up.''
''If you say so my little drunksy.''
''Hey! I thought we agreed I wasn't Drunksy anymore! Plus, I'm taller than you!''
As the two began to argue, somewhere else on the TARDIS, Forgotten and Fluffy were poking around, trying to figure out how to navigate.
''I feel like this place changes so every time we head down a hall it's different...'' Forgotten muttered, ''This thing is messing with us...''
Fluffy was stealthily sneaking around every corner like she was in the middle of a top secret facility and wasn't supposed to be in there. ''What I want to know is, where's the rest room?''
The bat pony smacked himself, before pointing behind him at a blue door that clearly read: Bathroom.
''Oh, thanks!'' The mare smiled.
Gingerly, Forgotten tried to smile. ''Well...are you gonna use it or...?''
However, the pink mare still made no move to head for the door. Instead, she shrugged. ''I just wanted to know where it was.'' She giggled. ''Let's go find the kitchen now! Wheee!'' She pointed a hoof down a random hallway, and took off in a gallop.
Sighing, the ancient storyteller followed, his eyes narrowed. ''This was a bad idea...''
''Ah ha! I have you now you little ignorant pun loving son of a-'' crimsonpit shouted in his booming voice, as he towered menacingly over his prey, the not to fazed Israel.
''Wait. Before you continue, may I say one thing?'' The unicorns mane flared up, crackling like a fire, which it was. ''Is it getting hot in here? Or is it just-''
''Enough! You have made your last pun mortal!''
crimson's claws raised high over Israel's head, posed to strike down, ''None of the other's are here to save you, so now perish!'' However, before said action could be actioned, a rather convenient sudden jolt of the room sent Israel clumsily rolling through the slightly startled cloud demon.
crimson didn't walk the ground, so he didn't fall, however, his irritation motivated him to give chase by floating after the stallion.
Inside the main room, the group met up with a very loud thump, as they collided after being thrown off their hooves and ended up in a large pile of legs. Trying to shove a pony's hoof out of his mouth, Thunder shouted:
''What the hell was that!? Are we being hijacked!?''
''That's to cliched!'' Swift shouted back, attempting to squeeze his way out of the pile of tangled bodies.
''Well what do you suggest it is!'' Forgotten yelped, trying to avoid being brained by a swinging hind leg.
''I think we landed.'' crimson said from across the room, the only one not caught in the pile, his gaze directed out the door's windows. ''And we landed in my kind of neighborhood.''
After some more grunting and trashing around, the pony pile finally broke, and the group gathered around the doors, staring out at their landing zone. What lay before them, was a deserted town, similar to that of Ponyville, only, worn down and rotting away.
''Well, this is a downright beautiful paradise.'' Dusky commented, his eyes scanning the area. ''Now where are the zombies?''
''Um...do we really need to hope the undead are involved in this?'' Lulu shivered, hiding behind Dusky like he was a green meat shield.
''I hope not, zombies are scary...'' Agent Fluffy whimpered.
crimson floated in front of her, his eyes growing soft. ''If there is any rouge souls, I'll shred them for you.''
''Awww, thanks honey pie.''
''Hey guys? Why don't we just open the doors and find out what's up with this place?'' Sym piped up.
''Works for me! Allon-z!'' Exclaimed Thunder, his wings flaring, as he charged out, dragging Swift along behind him.
''We're gonna regret this...'' Muttered the earth pony.
The group of ponies and cloud found themselves in what must have been the center of town, however, no matter where they looked, they saw no sign of any life other then themselves.
''Well this is, creepy...'' Shimmer light mumbled.
''I have to say, whoever lived here, they had great taste in art.'' Forgotten commented, motioning towards the stone pegasus standing atop the altar behind the TARDIS. ''Creepy, yet graceful.''
''Yes, although something about it's pose seems...off.'' Kitty squinted, trying to pick out what she didn't like about the crafted stone.
''Wait...'' Everybody turn around for a second.'' Thunder said, before spinning around, looking in the opposite direction. ''Hey guys! I saw something! Over there!''
Spinning around, the ponies raked the direction Thunder pointed towards, searching for whatever it was Thunder thought he saw. However, Sym refused to look.
''Whatever the hell it is, fu-''
''Shush! Forget what you were just saying!'' Thunder clamped a hoof over Symmetrical's mouth. ''Now look!'' Forcefully twisting the stubborn mares head around to look at...absolutely nothing.
Suddenly, a loud snap broke the silence, causing the group, minus crimson, to spin around with loud screams. The statue wasn't on it's pedestal anymore, the stone Pegasus now stood beside them, however, it no longer looked like it was on the brink of tears, the statue now seemed to be roaring at them in rage. It's mouth was wide open, showing off sharp looking stone teeth, and it's stone eyes were wide open, piercing into every onlookers soul. Below the stone creature lay the still body of Shimmer light, her neck snapped, revealing the source of the sound.
''Oh my goddess! They killed your sister!'' Thunder cried.
Shaking a hoof at the sky, while also keeping a vigilant eye on the killer statue, Swift shouted, ''You banana heads!''
''Really?'' Dusky deadpanned. ''That was the best insult you could come up with?''
''At least he insulted them.'' Thunder shrugged. ''Better than the last insult I heard him come up with.''
''Who're they? Who're you talking about?'' Lulu asked, her eyes shaking with fear, as she slowly backed away from the once thought harmless stone, now turned evil murderer.
''Shush! Stop talking about them! They might hear!'' Swift clamped a hoof over Lulu's mouth. ''We said nothing.''
''Swift...'' Dusky glared. ''Let her go.''
''Oh, right, sorry!''
''Hey guys, we still have a problem, we have a very evil looking statue that just murdered one of us, what do we do about it?'' Kitty pointed towards said problem.
''Wait...where's Xan?'' Symmetrical glanced around.
''Is this a prank? Cause it's not a funny one Xan...'' Fluffy shivered, hiding behind crimson.
crimson just shrugged, although none of the others could figure out how he did it. ''I thought it was pretty funny.''
''Xan! Come out and tell us the punch line!'' Thunder called out.
''Or maybe a pun!'' Israel followed up.
''Uh...guys? I'm right behind you, I've been hiding on Swift's shoulder this whole time...''
''Wait...if Xan isn't the statue...then that means...'' Forgotten's eyes widened...
Dusky suddenly jumped high into the air, his wings flaring out. ''Weeping Pegasus!''
''At least it's just the one... but why do I feel like I just jinxed it?'' Xan commented, pushing his glasses up on his snout.
''And why has nopony commented on the fact that my sister is still dea-''
Swift was cut off by Thunder, who suddenly pointed a foreleg in the air dramatically, ''Shut it! And look around us! Before I throw you through the screen.'' He followed this by a quick boop to Swift's snout.
The group turned, except for crimson who kept an eye on the one stone monster. Of course, what they turned to face was more stone monsters who looked ready to leap in and tear their faces off.
''Well freaking great...'' Sym grumbled. ''Of course...''
Thunder suddenly produced a long elegant cane from under his wing and pointed it at the surrounding Pegasus, with a buzzing sound, he sweeped the cane back and forth like it was a spear. He flicked the cane, and the top opened, and he stared at something the others couldn't see on it.
''Well, no way out of this except to fly or teleport, although there is another option I can see.''
''Well...what!?'' Israel shouted, his eyes straining not to blink. Although not all of them knew what was going on, they had heard enough from Thunder and Swift that they knew not to blink around statues. ''We don't exactly have a lot of time here! We're kinda stoned!''
''Shut your trap!'' crimson exclaimed.
Fluffy merely groaned.
''Well...I could tell you, but we're gonna have to wait for the next episode.'' Thunder shrugged, grinning evilly.
''What!?'' The others shouted as one.
However, it was at that moment that they all turned to glare at the blue Pegasus, that they stopped looking at the statues. That was a very large mistake, and they realized that very quickly. However, when they spun around, Swift was the least lucky, spinning around to find a wing colliding straight into his face.
''Ow! Ffffffffffff-''
To Be Continued...
Author's Note
Since the wing was frozen right before it collided with his face, Swift won't be teleported back in time, but it might just teleport him somewhere else. Who knows? Anyway, what a cliff hanger, see you in the next silly episode!
Allon-z! Geronimo! Fantastic! He is the Doctor, and this is his spoon!
