Rainbow trotted towards what seemed to be the place of her first foe. The beam from her element was not changing where it was pointing. She was interrupted by what sounded like a sword being unsheathed and galloping hooves. Taking flight she narrowly avoided losing her head, she only lost a little bit of her tail. Glaring down at her assailant she was confused by what she saw, a creature with strange looking limbs that held the sword she almost died to while having four regular hooves.

Curious she asked,"Who and what are you?"

"I does not matter to you for I must kill you," came the solemn reply.

"What if I told you I was hunting colossi?," questioned the cyan pegasus.

"Why would a colossus hunt its own?"

"I am not a colossus."

"How can you not be, I have not seen your kind before."

"I have not seen your kind either."

"Sorry, but I am in a hurry. Goodbye, flying horse creature."

"Okay, see ya.," said Rainbow before she sped away. Towards the first colossus. Not realizing that the other she just met was going to the same place.

When she came to a gap in the cliff side she noticed what looked like the remains of some sort of building with vines hanging in places that formed what looked like a way up so, she flew upward. At the top she settled down for a small rest, only to start to feel the ground beneath her shake violently. Rainbow looked around for the cause of the shaking only to see what she could only guess was the colossus.

The first colossus was a tall two-legged creature carrying a massive club made of stone. The colossus did not seem to see or acknowledge her. The creature had fur almost covering its whole body where there was not fur in looked like stone and pieces of building where scattered along the back of it. The face of the colossus had two blue swirling orbs to represent eyes, the rest of the face had the appearance of a mask in the shape of a monkey's face. The legs of the colossus ended in hooves even though it had the face of a monkey.

Rainbow, being the brash pony she is decided to ram the colossus in the back. She flew up a ways before coming back down almost triggering a sonic rainboom. Using the speed she had gained with gravity's assistance she hit the colossus with such force it went flying into a wall of the canyon they were in. She heard a voice yell, "What are you doing here flying horse?"

"Trying to kill this mountain of a monster. You?"

"I am here to slay this beast, as I was told to by Dormin."

"Dormin, I met them they told me to kill the colossi as well.," before they could continue their little chat the colossus dislodged itself from the wall. The eyes of the giant were no longer blue, they were now orange.

"Focus on your element to reveal its vitals.," said Dormin in the pegasus's head. She focused on her nature of loyalty, bringing forth yet another glow. Pointing her element toward the colossus she saw a glowing symbol on the top of its head but, when she had done that the colossus went to hit her out of the sky with its huge club.

Just before it could hit the pesky flying blue thing an arrow lodged itself in the shoulder of the colossus, making it veer just enough to cause it to miss," You're welcome flying horse.," called out the other hunter.

Realizing she had almost died she called out in return,"Uh, thanks.," thinking about what she had seen, "Um, there is a glowy thing on its head.,"she said while pointing toward it, "I think that is where we should stab it."

"Since you can fly why don't you stab it?"

"Um, do you see anything with a sharp enough point to stab with on me?"

"No. How would I get up there?"

"I think you can climb the back of it while I distract it."

"Okay," was the reply given by the two-legged hunter as it made their way to the back of the oblivious giant. Rainbow flew up to the face of the giant, and realized its eyes were almost as big as her.

In order to make sure the colossus was focused on her she decided to buck it in the face. Once her hooves had made contact she flew just out of the reach of the colossus. The two-legged hunter jumped and grabbed hold of the fur on the back of the giants left leg. Once they were sure they had a solid grip they began to climb the swinging appendage.

The giant was trying to chase after the little blue thing that had just hit it when it felt something giving a slight tug on the fur on its back. Stopping, it tried to shake off the thing on its back. Rainbow figured that the colossus was mow focusing on the other hunter. She thought for a second and decided she would shine element on the beast to get its attention.

The thing on its back was not falling off why was it not falling? The flying blue thing shined that light again. It was always only one attacking it.

She had gotten its attention again, for a second. the giant really did not seem to like the idea of something climbing it. At the top the two-legged hunter could clearly see the vitals that Rainbow Dash had seen and mentioned. Grabbing hold the hunter raised their sword and plunged it into the glowing symbol, hearing the giant cry out in pain along with a black substance spurting out. The hunter stabbed one more time before losing their grip of the fur, falling off. Seeing this Rainbow flew forward and caught her fellow hunter.

The other hunter went to hand her the blade, "Finish this, flying horse", The hunter said solemnly.

"Okay!", grabbing the handle with her mouth she flew up and plunged the sword into the giant, killing it. After pulling out the sword out she gave it back to the hunter it belonged to. Neither noticing the black consuming the giant beast or the tendrils coming toward them.

"That was eas-hurk", before Rainbow could finish her sentence the black tendrils had struck and entered into her body. She looked to the hunter for assistance only to see them in the same predicament. After the tendrils had finished entering both of them they passed out.

Author's Note

Yes, they have not told each other who or what they are, yet. That is in the next chapter.
The perspective does jump around a little bit. It goes from RD, Wander, and the colossus. This will most likely happen quite a bit.

I Just realized as of this chapter this story has hit 2,222 words. This amuses me.
