The Pyro and The Engineer's Misadventures in Equestria
Part 5: Trapped
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSome time after where Part 4 left us....
The party was done. It was completely decorated, filled with seats, games, dance floors, and all the such. Most ponies((obviously, except Trixie and the group of angry ponies chasing her thinking she is Pyro)) went into the party, as they were indicated by the banners. Engineer was showing someponies some of his inventions: The Dispense-O-Matic 9000 Provision Dispenser, able to heal anything((except some certain persons who were progammed not to be healed)) and, obviously, dispense objects such as metal; The Telemax Teleporters, able to teleport anything((Again, except the BLUs)) that stood on the teleporter entrance into the teleport exit, at the cost of having to recharge; and finally, the Sentry Mechanical Firing Device, which, as it's name mentions, is progammed to fire at certain targets. Sentries from RED are normally progammed to fire at anything that is not wearing red suits, but the Engineer built a certain Sentry Gun that was progammed only to shoot moving blue logs. To explain how the Sentries worked, the Engineer picked a loose piece of log, painted it blue, then threw it on the air. The Sentry beeped, aimed at the flying log piece, and fired at it. Pinkie was addicted to the teleporters; she was repeteadly teleporting at the Engineer's level 3 teleporter. However, Twilight hadn't returned yet.
"When will Twilight come back?", asked Lyra.
Just as she asked that, Twilight came in.
"Bad news. That showboat is planning to lead an angry mob of ponies onto Pyro!", she said.
Pyro immediatly became shocked upon hearing this. What would he do? He had to hide. But where? Every place there was opened, there was no place to hide, except on the forest nearby. He was about to run to there, but two things stopped him:
One: The forest most likely had angry animals seeking to devour him alive.
Two: The angry ponies had came.
Trixie was almost reaching the party. She took a tight turn, and hid. She undisguised, and watched as the mob of ponies stopped confused near there. She went out of the hiding spot.
"He went over there!", she said as she pointed to the party. Luckily for her, the ponies believed on her word, and started charging towards the party.
"Eeuaghafvada...", Pyro mumbled, almost like he said a bad word. He ran behind Engineer.
"Why are ya hidin', Pyro?", he asked. Pyro answered by pointing at the ponies holding torches and pitchforks. "Aw, hell.", he continued. All of the ponies then shifted their gazes to the angry ponies. Pinkie didn't even mind them at all.
"Oh hey, new guests!", she said.
"They aren't guests, Pinkie! They're after Pyro!", Twilight said.
"What? Why?", Engineer asked.
"Well, that showboat called Trixie seemingly doesn't wants you two there, so, she disguised as Pyro, did something bad, and led the angry ponies towards the REAL Pyro! We need to hide him!", she explained.
Pyro was alterady cowering on a corner. He'd get out his Vintage Degreaser and either airblast them away, or intimidate them, but he forgot his bag on the tree. Damn. He thought it was the end. He wished he could live a bit more. Fortunaly, the Engineer stepped in between the Pyro and the angry ponies.
"Pardners! This isn't what y'all think is happening! Pyro didn't did all this mess!", Engineer said. "It was-", he continued before being rudely cutted out.
"We don't care! Your 'friend' has proven that he's too dangerous to live in this world! We have to finish him!", one of the ponies said as he pushed Engy out of the way. They became surprised to see Pyro wasn't there anymore.
"Where's him?!", asked one of the ponies.
They saw Applejack's rear hoof briefly appear.
"FOLLOW HER!!!", the leader of the mobs yelled.
"This way, mask!", said Applejack as she led Pyro around.
Pyro started to think. He didn't expected those ponies to save him. Actually, he started liking this world. At first, he felt horribly awkward, but now this world is actually cool. But his positive thoughts were cut by him and the orange pony being trapped by the angry ponies. However, a violet force-field grabbed him. It was the white pony. No, wait, Pyro decided to call the ponies by their names, now. It was Rarity who rescued him.
"Even though you look weird, I guess you're a nice guy. C'mon!", she said. Pyro followed her. She immediatly stopped upon seeing another wave of pitchfork-wielding ponies comming on front of them. Twilight then grabbed him Pyro started to feel funny about it. It was like they were fighting to have a beach ball or cookie, or something. Again, they stopped. But this time they were stopped by a gorge. Twilight threw Pyro around the gorge with the help of her magic. He landed on Pinkie.
"Oh, hi again! Y'know, I think we have something in common. Y'know, we're almost exactly the same! We're hard to understand, and!", she talked before being interrupted by Pyro.
"Uh-huh.", Pyro said. He realized he and Pinkie were exactly the same. However, a red pegasus almost grabbed him.
"Oove! Oove up! Oove up!", he yelled. Pinkie started running while laughing. Suddently, Pyro joined the laughter. Unfortunaly, the two stopped laughing upon seeing the angry pegasus' forming a circle around them. Pyro changed his feeling from happy to scared. This time, there was no scape. Something grabbed him from above. Pyro closed his eyes. He was........
...rescued by Fluttershy.
"Ummm, I don't think I can carry you long enough, but I think it still saves you.", she said, again on her usual quiet tone. Pyro opened his eyes, then realized he was riding the yellow pegasus. He almost squeaked upon seeing the two were high on the sky. He started to feel calmer. Pyro liked height, anyway. Unfortunaly, his peace was disrupted as he saw the enemies closing in. He remembered he still had his Neon Annihilated on. He equipped it, then started smacking the pegasus' who approached him. Not to kill them, just to knock them away. Unfortunaly, one of them reached him, took his meelee, hat and nose-glasses away. He threw them on the floor.
"NHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!", Pyro screamed as he saw his Genuine items being thrown away. The pegasus laughed. Pyro was filled with rage. He decided to prove him he was still good without his items. He charged a punch. Unfortunaly, Pyro wasn't good with punches as much as Heavy is. The pegasus dodged it easily. Dang. He looked at Fluttershy. She was completely panicking. Something then grabbed Pyro. He looked up. It was Rainbow Dash. Pyro mumbled something while pointing at the pegasus' who were catching up with the two.
"Outrunning them? That's no matter. Hang tight!", she said. Suddently, she doubled - no, tripled her speed, going almost as fast as the speed of sound, maybe even faster. Unfortunaly, something grabbed her, stopping her on her tracks.
A rope.
The two were slowly pushed.
The angry mobs of ponies had captured everypony who wasn't chasing Pyro. Even Engineer. Those ropes were magic-proof, so Twilight, Rarity and Lyra were forced not to use magic, along with the other captured unicorns.
One of the unicorns placed Pyro above a firepit.
"And, this year, we will punish Equestria's most dangero-", he said, before looking up.
The Princesses had arrived. Just in time. Engineer facepalmed.
"Ok, mind explaining what is happening here?", asked Celestia, looking with a suspicious or angry look at the unicorn that was about to burn Pyro. "What in the world are you doing?!?!", she continued, now with an angrier tone.
"Uhhh......I was....", he started saying slowly.
"One of the ponies here called Trixie tricked 'em into thinkin' that Pyro burned part of Ponyville. They don' seem to listen t'us.", Engineer explained.
"Well, that explains everything. I guess this day isn't a day for parties.", Luna said.
"Indeed.", Celestia replied. "Sister, call the guards. We need them to look for Trixie. I need to have a talk with her.", she continued.
"Alright!", Luna replied as she went away.
Later...
"We're very sorry for the unwelcomming stay here. We hope you don't have a bad impression of us. I talked to Trixie, she was forced to fix the burned part of the town.", Celestia replied.
"Nah, that's nothing. We had worse times.", Engineer said.
"Well, it's sad to have to wave goodbye to others. Specially when they're from a different world!", said Lyra. Engineer replied with a nod.
"Yeah. And it seems 'ere that Pyro made a friend.", Engineer said, as he looked at Pyro hugging Pinkie((hair slightly straight)). Both of them were sad.
Trixie was very angered. The two managed to get away with her prank, and she had to repair the burned town! And worse: the fire had spreaded around most of Ponyville. That meant more job for her to do. "Well, atleast those idiotic intruders are going away now.", she thought.
Pyro and Engineer waved goodbye to the ponies, as they stood on the gray teleporter. The usual teleporting glow appeared. However, the two were still there after them being teleported.
"What the...", Engineer said. Pinkie's sad face started to turn into a happier face((and her hair slowly becomming normal again)). Pyro also started to become slightly happy.
"What happened?", asked Twilight.
Engineer inspected the strange teleporter. There was something green. Engineer took a look at the green thing, then got up.
"The teleporter ran out of power.", he said. The ponies((except Pinkie, of course)) gasped.
"How much is needed to refill?", asked one of the ponies.
"500,000 tons of uranium.", Engineer answered.
"Oh no. This must not be happening.", Trixie thought.
