Why Us?
What?
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Bord. Bord. Bord. BORD." I said laying on my back as I stare up at the ceiling.
Is that shadow thing ever going to come back or was I left here to die? I wonder if I can live off the land once I make it out of here alive. I wonder what happened to the suit of armor I was wearing earlier, but I don't care about that anymore. With the many times, I have lost what I was wearing and had to make due, I am starting to get used to not wear any clothes. I don't think that is a good thing or is it? Whatever. I wonder if I'am ever get to sleep in a nice comfy bed again. So many things to think about. But for right now.
"Bord. Bord. Bord."
"JESSICA!" Someone shouted nearby. I didn't recognize the voice but who found me?
"huh?" I sat up to see who called me only to be tackled two feet about from where I was. I gave a glare at the pony... correction filly who attack me and is currently hugging me.
"Your Okay!" she said.
I would be so happy to huge this small cute little yellow filly with a dark green mane. If I wasn't trying so hard to figure out how she knew me when I have never seen her before. I am a celebrity now or something?
"Excuse me little one, but who are you?" I asked her,
She lifts her head to look at me with big blue eyes and a confused look on her face, "You don't know me?"
"If I did I wouldn't be asking you."
"Maple please show some courtesy to Jessica. She has just gone through a rough time." Some else said nearby. But I recognize that voice!
"Exclusive!"
Rainbow Dash has landed on a cloud and looked around her to see if she is still being followed. There is nothing out of the ordinary but thanks to all those games of hid and seek with Pinkie, she knows that she is not alone here. "Now where are you?"
Bonbon who is currently hiding in a tree and looks at Rainbow. "If you were pretending to not notice me before then you are doing a really bad job now." She then reaches into her saddlebag "I am getting really tired of these games," and pulls out what appears to be a large green cylinder object with a small opening at one end along with a picture of a pegasus with a big red x on it. "Time to bring you down to Equestria Rainbow Dash." She said as she aims at Rainbow. Once the object made a high pitch sound Bonbon push a button on the side and something fast leaves the opening of Bonbon device leaving a trail of smoke behind it as it heads straight for Rainbow.
"What. The. HAY!" Rainbow said before taking off fast away from the fast-approaching object that just suddenly came out of a tree. And for some reason no matter what she did it just keep following her.
"That will keep you busy." Bonbon said blowing at the end of the device before putting it away. "I doubt that will kill her but it will hurt that is for sure." Bonbon said with a small smile on her face as she leaves the tree. "I always wanted to use that."
"Think FAST!" Rainbow said closing in on Bonbon
"What?" Bonbon said before Rainbow grab her and made her drop her saddlebags is the process as she continues to fly away from the rocket. "HAY! Put me DOWN!"
"Are you sure about that Bonbon!"
"What?"
Bonbon then breaks the one rule not to do when you are very high up, moving at the high speeds, and have a fear of heights, she looks down.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Bonbon scream next to Rainbow's ear grabing onto her for dear life.
"Bonbon eases up. I still need to breathe here!"
"PUT ME DOWN ON THE GROUND RIGHT NOW! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" Bonbon shouts,
"We aren't going to die. But I can't guarantee that we will be safe with this thing still following us."
"JUST THROW SOMETHING AT IT BEFORE IT HITS YOU!"
"Really? It that's all!" Rainbow then flies close to the ground to grab a rock with her tail and flies back up. Once high enough she goes in for a nose dive and then once she was sure it was right behind her she let's go of the rock and it hit the rocket and cause a big explosion behind as they leave it behind.
Once she was sure they were safe, Rainbow dash then lands on a cloud. She notices that Bonbon had her eyes closed the whole time. Rainbow rows her eyes at the pony. "You, know. For somepony that is heartless enough to be working with ponynapping Ponies, you really are a scaredy cat with it comes to flying."
"I am an Earth Pony Rainbow Dash!" Bonbon said angrily at Rainbow but holding onto her. "I am not meant to fly across the sky like you do or do life-risking maneuvers like we just did... and why aren't we on the ground yet?" Bonbon asked noticing that her grip on Rainbow is getting weaker and sees that the ground is so very far away.
"Becuase you are going to tell me everything about the ponies that are stealing ponies from Equestria. Or it is going to be a long way back down." Rainbow said sitting down on the cloud making Bonbon readjust her grip on her.
Bonbon looks at Rainbow "You wouldn't do that! Would you?"
"Hay I am just the fastest pony in Equestria not a unicorn with the magic that can let you walk on clouds,"Rainbow said as Bonbon tries to hold on to Rainbow. "Sooner or later you are going to lose your grip."
"But you are the element of Loyalty you wouldn't do this!" Bonbon said trying to hold on but she is slowly slipping.
"I am loyal to my friend alright. So that means I will do whatever it takes to protect them from ponies like you."
"But the ponies that I have ponynapped are not even ponies!"
"Okay, you are doing good. Go on."
"They are humans that are coming into our world from another world just to take advantage of our way of life and are hurting ponies! I am trying to stop them before they hurt any more ponies!"
"And what happened to Jessica? Is she alright?"
"She escaped our custody and is on the run somewhere and my superior is personally overseeing her recapture! That is all I know about her!"
"Custody, superior? You are making it sound like you are a secret agent for Canterlot or something?"
"I am!"
"Wait. Are you telling me that you are the good guys?"
"Yes, I was under orders from the crown to capture Humans that are all around our world. Rainbow you have got to believe me!"
"What do you mean was? Did something happened?"
"After Jessica escape. Cheif took me off the case. And sent me back home. I have no Ieda where Jessica is but when I came home I found that you and Twilight were in my house and were following my trail where I took Jessica and I had to stop you."
"But that doesn't make any sense from what Jessica told Twilight. Not to mention that Pinkie Pie said that you ponies were going to ponynapped Jessica for an unknown reason."
"I don't know about that Rainbow. I only ever capture humans that I could sneak out of Ponyville so that we could send them back home. And sometimes I help other agents that need help when there are too many to handle. I never wanted to hurt ponies Rainbow. I only wanted to protect them!" Bonbon said before she lost her grab and began to fall only for Rainbow to grab her by the hoof.
"If what you are saying is true then somepony is lying and I am not sure who it is. But for now stay out of our way Bonbon. Once we find Jessica we will know the truth."
"Then does that mean you are going to put me back on the ground?" Bonbon said hopefully, but notice that Rainbow had to think about it for a moment.
Rainbow not sure if she should let Bonbon on her way because she could just be lying to her. But then again what if she is telling the truth? She going to have to head back to Twilight to come up with a plan. Now, what to do with her? Rainbow then notice that their cloud has drifted to a familiar area and decide to have a little fun. "That not how the saying goes Bonbon."
"What?"
"Come on, Everypony knows that whenever something like this happens. The pony who is captured would say' Does that means you are going to let me go?'"
"Rainbow Dash No! That is not what I said!" Bonbon said panicking that Rainbow is going to do what she just said.
"So yes I will let you go," Rainbow said as she let go of Bonbon falling to her death. At least that what Bonbon was thinking as Rainbow looks down as Bonbon does a big body splash at Ponyville lake. "Ooohh that looks like it hurt." *hehe* "I always wanted to do that." Rainbow said as she takes off the skies.
Bonbon floats to the surface and glares at the rainbow streak in the sky, "I will get you for this. ow."
I can't believe this out of all the Ponies to find me it is him! "But how, why, when and wait more importantly who is this she?" I said pointing to the little filly between us.
"This is Maple. She is my daughter."
"Nice to meet you, Jessica." She says sweetly,
"What? But wait how come she already knows me? And how come I have never seen her before, when I was at the Boutique or at your house?"
"She was with her friends during both times. She doesn't like being stuck in the house for very long."
"That doesn't explain how she can recognize me when we never meet before."
"Oh, I have been around here and there watching you Jessica." Maple said laughing at something "You have some very funny adventures."
"I wouldn't call them that," Exclusive said to his daughter, "But right now we need to get out of here before they find us."
"Wait you are the one that sent that shadow creature after me. How did you convince it to do that?"
"Can I tell her Please Daddy!"
"No Maple." Exclusive said sternly "Head back to the campsite we are leaving."
"Yes, sir." Maple said slowly walking away.
I look at her then at Exclusive "You don't have to be so harsh on her you know."
"We have to get out of here as soon as possible."Exclusive said ignoring me and walking away, "Come along Jessica."
"RUDE!" I said following him,
We made our way out of the cave in silent. Exclusive seem different. It is like he is very angry at something...someone. We soon found ourselves at a makeshift campsite as Maple is packing some saddle bags. "Where are we going?" I asked noticing that there are three pairs of saddle bags, one small and two large.
"Out of Equestria. It is not safe here anymore." Exclusive said helping his daughter with her saddle bag.
"NO!" I shouted at him.
Exclusive turns away from his daughter to address me "Jessica please understand..."
"NO, you understand. I have been running away from the Cheif and his lackeys for too long. And because of my actions, an entire colony of humans has lost their freedom. I want to help them!"
"And get captured in the process? Jessica, you can't fight him. He holds too much power in Equestria. And he is in League with Chrysalis. You know what that means?"
"NO honestly. I have never heard about her before."
"It means that soon you cannot trust anyone in Equestria. Chrysalis is a changeling that can make herself appear as anyone we know. And thanks to the Cheif she now has a new army of changelings ready to take on Equestria and it's Heros."
"But we can stop them right?" I asked a little scared of the answer.
"No unlike the last time where it was just Chrstails making the calls by herself. She has help on the inside this time. We must leave before it is too late."
"And how do you know all of this? How do I know that you aren't a changeling in disguise as Exclusive!"
"Jessica you have to believe me..."
"Make her believe what exactly?" A voice said from behind the trees to reveal that Twilight has found us along with a pony I have never seen before. "Exclusive you got a lot of explaining to do," Twilight said lighting up her horn.
