To the End of the World

Chapter 1

‘Run, Run faster, that’s all I can think of, I must keep going I have to either kill this thing or escape it’ Nightfang thought to himself as he ran from the hydra that was chasing him. Looking ahead of him he saw a hole in the wall from his distance he couldn’t tell what it was but the closer he got the more it started to look like, “A cave” he said.

‘Good now I can put my stuff there while I fight this thing’. He is able to make it the cave which is barely big enough to fit two ponies in it. He drops off his stuff in the cave while bouncing off the wall facing the hydra.

He dashes to the hydra dodging its attacks while he charges up a spell taking aim he targets the hydras feet and freezes them into the floor. ‘Alright that spell only lasts for a while so I must finish this with one move’ he closes his eyes to concentrate while he casts a spell that will give him wings.

He slides on the ice through the hydras legs as an aura of black magic surrounds him. The hydra was trying to break free of the ice encasing his feet by pulling and biting at the ice but to his avail it was no use. Night fang uses the wings he has now to dodge one of the heads going towards him. He flies up and fires blasts of a dark slimy substance that is suspended in midair around the hydra.

If anyone was watching right now they would see the hydra with black spots floating around it.

‘Crack~’ Night fang looks down to see the ice spell starting to weaken ‘I guess it’s time to end this’ as he closes his eyes as one of the hydras head darts forward and tries to bite him but the ice around his feet only allowed him to cause three small slashes in Night fangs side.

The wound pained him but he has had worst injuries, but it was enough to cause him to lose focus and fall from about 2 stories high. The fall was able to cause one of his legs to break causing jolts pain to go through his entire body.

With holes in his side and one broken leg he is barely able to muster up enough strength to activate the black blobs causing them to swirl, stretch out and sharpen into to spikes stronger than steel. They pull back and fly into the hydra causing it to roar in pain from the hundreds of spikes piercing its scales going up to a 1’ in.

As the hydra collapsed to the floor the impact was strong enough that three little fillies who are trying to earn their cutie marks felt the vibrations that went through the earth.

“Did you guys feel that” Scootaloo exclaimed “mmhhhhmmm” the other two nodded in agreement.

“It sounded like it came from over there” Sweetie Belle said while nodding her head in the direction behind her.

“Let’s go check it out” said Apple Bloom they all trotted towards the source of the sound.

While the Cutie mark crusaders headed towards the field in which the hydra and Night fang was. Night fang was able to crawl into the cave before his strength left him.

Everything was starting to get blurry but the only thing he could remember was three blurs of colors heading in his direction.

Five minutes earlier

“Hey girls I think I see something!” Sweetie Belle yelled back while pushing away leaves and branches that are in her way.

“What is it?” Scootaloo asked “Whoa, you won’t believe this, hurry come over here” Scootaloo and Apple Bloom heard Sweetie belle from up ahead as they picked up their pace to catch up.

“If you slowed down we could catch up” Apple bloom said with a little bit of sarcasm in her voice. “Alright……were….pant here what did you want to show us” Apple bloom said trying to catch her breath” “This” Sweetie said while moving one of the branches revealing the dead hydra in a pool of blood.

“Look over there you see that” said Scootaloo pointing at the bloodied unicorn crawling into a cave.

“Let’s get a closer look” she said and darted off before the others could even say a word. Not wanting to be left out they soon chased after Scootaloo.

“He looks horrible” Said Sweetie Belle “we need to get him help” “how ‘bout Zecora she’s pretty close we could ask her” Apple bloom mentioned

“Alright Apple bloom and I will go to Zecora’s you stay with him” Scootaloo said quickly.

With that the two fillies ran towards the direction of Zecora’s home.

“Thanks Zecora it looks like we’ve finished” Said Twilight “I’m glad that you could’ve come, we don’t have this plant were I’m from” Zecora spoke

“I’m glad that I could have help-“Twilight managed to say before being interrupted by two small fillies barging in through the door.

“Apple bloom and Scootaloo what are you two doing here” exclaimed Twilight.

“Blue……pony…attacked...by…hydra” Apple bloom managed to say between breaths.

“WHAT! Where” twilight screamed “We have to get to him”

“Hold on let me catch my breath” said Apple bloom “Follow us” Scootaloo said not even affected by the tiredness of the run

The three ponies and a zebra ran in the direction of the scene hoping to get there in time.

“So what happen to this pony” said Twilight as the ran over and under branches crossing their path

“He was a Pegasus fighting a hydra and defeated it, but he has what looks like a bite mark on his side!” exclaimed Scootaloo “Hey, you forgot that he had a horn too” mentioned Apple bloom.

“Wait you saw that too? Huh, I thought I was just seeing things” said Scootaloo “wait your telling me there’s another alicorn other than Princess Celestia and Princess Luna it’s not possible they told me that they’re the only ones, I have to see this”.

They continue for a few minutes and find him and lying in the cave bleeding with sweetie belle next to him.

“Twilight!” Sweetie belle exclaimed “I wrapped his blankets around the cut trying to stop the bleeding but it’s only slowed down”.

“Alright I might be able to close up the wounds a little with my magic” said Twilight as she readies her magic
