Serious Sam - My Little Encounter

The skies have darkened. The wind was blowing, rain has started to fall. Clouds were swirling above the Time-Lock, spewing lightnings all over. Twilight and Starlight have already arrived to witness the Time-Lock’s opening.

“What’s going on? What did you do?” Twilight asked.

“Nothing!” Starlight answered. “It just happened by itself!”

A loud whirring noise began to emanate from the Time-Lock, as Spike, Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Rarity arrived. Its four towers sparkled with electricity and the machine’s floor lighted up. Forks of lightning have struck right in the middle and a bright blue light emerged. Shortly, the light flashed up, then faded. The Time-Lock powered down and finally, they could see a humanoid figure in its middle, doing a three-point pose. The ponies looked upon the figure in bewilderment, as it got up, raised its head and looked back at them.

“Well, that’s new.” It returned the ponies’ bewilderment. It spoke with a gravelly voice and wore a simple white t-shirt and a pair of jeans. On his t-shirt, there was a grinning bomb.

“You’re not here to hurt us, are you?” Twilight approached the figure slowly.

“I assume you’re the civilization in need of a saviour.” Said the figure.

“I... I don’t know.” Replied Twilight with confusion. “Are we?”

“Are you being attacked by armies of horrible monsters?”

“Well, yes...”

“Then you are!” The figure proclaimed, then approached Twilight. “The name’s Sam. Sam “Serious” Stone.” the figure introduced himself and reached out to Twilight to shake hands.

After a short confused pause, Twilight also introduced herself. “Twilight Sparkle, the princess of friendship”

Sam snorted, trying to hold back laughter after hearing the string of words that came out of Twilight’s mouth. Then he looked at the purple hoof he was holding. The situation didn't become any less bizarre to him.

“And I assume these are your horse friends.” He looked at the other ponies.

“Alright,” Rainbow broke the awkward conversation, “what’s going on?”

“The big brains at home told me" Sam explained "that Mental was going to attack Earth again in the future, so they sent me roughly where the attack will begin.”

“I’m afraid you’re already late.” Said Applejack. “The attack has already started and we’re losing.”

“Not if I have anything to do about that!” Sam said confidently.

“What exactly are you going to do?” Rarity asked the self-proclaimed saviour.

“Exactly what I always do.” Sam answered. “Say, have you got any weapons? The old colt and knife won’t take me far.” He pulled out the only weapons he had.

“Sure, but I don’t think they’re going to work for you.” Said Rainbow.

They went to the armoury. It was inside the Town Hall, because there was no time to set up a proper armoury. Twilight escorted Sam in, while the others took their places. There weren’t many weapons in the armoury and they were all clearly designed for ponies. Sam picked one up.

“Now, how am I supposed to use this?” He asked, as he observed the strange object.

“Yeah, these are all designed for ponies.” Twilight replied. “They were also thrown together at the start of the attacks.”

Sam dropped the weapon. “Eh, doesn’t matter. I tend to just find my guns laying around.”

“What?” Twilight asked for clarification.

Sam couldn’t answer, because he spotted something for his liking. “Ooh, what’s this I see?”

“What is...” Twilight then saw what Sam was looking at, “...oh no, not that.” She groaned. Sam picked up the object of his excitement. It was a long golden sceptre with Twilight’s head on its end. “Please not that, it’s so embarrassing, I don’t even know how it got there.”

Sam weighed the sceptre with his hands and took a few light swings with it. “This should do nicely.”

“Really? That thing?” Twilight objected. “Are you even sure that’s going to work?”

“The new wave is coming!” Rainbow shouted through the door.

“We’re about to find out.” Sam said confidently and walked out.

The citizens of Ponyville have already lined up. Sam stepped among them and stopped next to Starlight, who was in the front. The whole town was staring at the trees, covering behind their shields, their pony spears trembling in their hooves. Sinister silence lingered upon them, followed by sudden cacophonous roaring, as the monsters burst through the trees.

“I hope you are as good as you say you are.” Starlight said to Sam.

“You bet your ass I am!” He replied and firmly grabbed onto Twilight’s sceptre. He ran up to a one-eyed monster and smashed its head in with the golden sceptre. Then he took another swing and bashed a headless zombie in the side. Starlight gazed upon the new guy’s ferocity, as he smashed the monsters up. They themselves began to avert their attention from the ponies, when Sam ripped out a gnaar’s eye and thrown it at them. They ran at Sam and attempted to crush him with their massive fists, but he smashed them up with ease, staining the golden sceptre with the splashing pieces of flesh.

The fight went on. Starlight could dish out some punishment herself, the lasers were bursting from her horn. But she was quickly overwhelmed when the skeletons started their charge. One jumped at Starlight, but Sam jumped in and ripped its head off. He took out some of the surrounding headless zombies with his colt, then lobbed the skull at an approaching one-eyed monster, embedding it inside its eye by the horns. Then the ponies began to be thrown all over, as a bull was charging through right in the middle of town.

“Hey you!” Sam taunted the bull. “Why don’t you stop the bull-run and start the bull-fight?!”

The bull charged at him, but Sam stepped aside at the right time and slashed the bull with his knife. The bull ran past him, then charged again. Sam sidestepped again and slashed at the bull again. It ran past, bleeding profusely and charged again stubbornly. Sam kept his ground and stabbed the bull in the skull, stopping it right in its tracks.

The dust settled as the last monsters were picked off. The ponies picked themselves up, surprised at the lack of damage done to their town. Starlight ran up to Sam.

“Wow! That was amazing!” She complimented Him.

“Told you I’m good at this.” He replied.

Moments later Twilight, Rarity and Pinkie Pie showed up.

“Did we win?” Pinkie asked, surprised at the lack of monsters currently alive in town.

“Apparently so.” Twilight answered. “All thanks to Sam.”

“Don’t celebrate just yet.” Said Rarity. “Wasn’t there a horde of suicide bombers approaching?

“There is.” Rainbow flew in. “They’re going to be here any moment now.”

“Suicide bombers you say?” Said Sam, as he picked up a second colt he found on the ground. “It seems all of my old friends are going to be here.”

“You know these things?” Asked Rainbow Dash.

“Sure, Mental and I are old pals! We used to do this all the time, back in the old days.”

“Then you probably understand,” Rainbow continued “that those suicide bombers are, like, our worst nightmare.”

“Nah, they’re not so bad. They’re all talk, but no heads. You just go back to your tea, while I deal with them.”

“What? You’re kidding?” Rainbow was astonished at Sam’s reckless statement.

“Have you seen him?” Said Starlight. “He annihilated these guys!”

Twilight walked up to Sam. “Sam, are you sure you can handle this alone.”

The sound of hellish screaming began to emanate from between the trees.

“I always do.” Sam answered and raised up both of his colts. “Stay back, while I have some target practice.” He walked towards the trees and awaited the suicide attack.

For half a minute, only the screaming could be heard, as it got louder and louder. Then they emerged from the forest, shirtless, headless, with two bombs raised and screaming endlessly. Sam extended his arms and began shooting down the approaching screamers. One by one, they all exploded into red mist. The explosions grew as the horde bunched up, but they were still coming in seemingly endless waves of screaming. Sam started slowly backing up, as they got closer and closer. He picked them down with ease, only stopping to reload. The ground was covered in viscera and body-parts, but the screaming didn’t stop. They got closer and closer to Sam and he was backing up faster and faster.

They stopped pouring from the trees, their numbers were decreasing and the screaming began to quiet down. Sam was taking out the last few of them. They were getting uncomfortably close to him, but these were thankfully the last few of them.

And Sam took out the last one, which splashed its entrails all over him. He stopped for a second, then screamed back at the remains of the zombie horde.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!” He did an impression of them, then turned around. “After all these years, they still use the same catchphrase.”

The ponies emerged from their hiding places and saw, that the wave of monsters has ended. The attack was averted and Ponyville was saved. Once they all realized they were alive, the crowd cheered Sam on. There was hope after all.

“That was awesome!” Rainbow Dash shouted.

“Told you he’s good!” Starlight remarked.

“Sam,” Twilight ran up to him “thank goodness you were here. We wouldn’t have been able to deal with them.”

“That’s because you can’t blow things up with friendship.” Sam Replied.

“Actually...” Twilight tried to explain, but she was interrupted.

“Twilight!” it was Fluttershy. She was riding on top of her bear, cradling Angel Bunny. “They took him! They took Discord!”

“What?!” Exclaimed Twilight. “How?”

“There were too many of them, we couldn’t handle them! Then they trapped Discord with their magic beams!” Fluttershy burst into tears. “I tried to stop them, but they destroyed everything!”

“Oh no! And Discord was one of our major defences!” Twilight’s previous enthusiasm faded.

“They took him to some ruins in the forest,” Sam stepped in “I'm gonna go through the path by the farm, because they’re still under attack.”

“Wait, how do you know that?” Twilight asked.

“The computer inside my head told me.”

Twilight just looked at him funny.

"What don't you have computers inside your heads too?"

"N-no..."

“What lame-ass future is this?” He proclaimed, then run towards Sweet Apple Acres. The ponies ran after him.
