Chapter 11: Getting Back n' Attacked!

Chapter 11: Getting Back n' Attacked!

~The next morning came quicker than expected. Everyone washed their faces in the nearby river and left for CHS. They waved goodbye to Farmer Bonsai and be on their own once again for the second time.~

"Bye, girls! You hurry on back to your school and find your friend along the way. And don't stop for anythin'!"

"Thanks!" Lightning waved.

"We sure appreciate ya lookin' out for us and our friend!" Applejack yelled happily.

The farmer nodded. "Y'all be alright. You're pretty tough girls."

~With that, the girls and their dogs turned back to where they came from until turned left from the fork in the road.~

"I feel so much better now…" Sunset sighed happily.

"That's because we actually had a nice time, eh, Sunset…?" Lightning winked.

Twilight saw Lightning and Sunset and smiled. "Glad to see you two getting along."

"We had a good chat last night." Sunset said.

"And worked our differences." Lightning shrugged.

~Lightning puts her left arm around Sunset and her right arm around Twilight. She closes her eyes and smiles at them both before looking up to see a large building roof in the distance, no doubt about it, it was Canterlot High. Lightning gives everyone a cute smile and jumps for joy.~

"There is it. Canterlot High! There's home!"

~Everyone cheers and Stitch and Spike howl in excitement.~

"Finally! Oh, I've been waiting forever to get back!" Rarity exclaimed in relief.

"I just hope Karly is here." Fluttershy said.

"Me too. If she's not, we are turning back around, back into that forest until she's found!" Lightning declared.

"Could at least settle in the school before turning back." Stitch said.

"Yeah...It's been tiring." Spike whimpered.

"Very tiring!" Rarity said dramatically.

"Alright, alright! I am turning back around back into that forest until she's found!" Lightning repeated.

"Ih."

~Stitch smiles before climbing on Lightning and venturing forward again. Spike begins sniffing the area and races ahead of everyone, following the pathway. He stops and begins sniffing on a leaf until a small speck of water drops on his nose. He looks up to see storm clouds rolling in the sky once again. He retreated back to the girls who also happened to look up to see the third storm.~

"Another storm…" Lightning groaned, feeling irritated.

"Not again!" Rarity groaned too.

"Hm. Who knew a third storm would come in?" Stitch pondered.

~Stitch stared up then down towards the trees. There he saw the same yellow eyes he thought he saw and heard from earlier last night. They glared deeply at him and Spike. Suddenly more eyes opened up to glare at them both.~

"Uh...You see those eyes too, right, Stitch?" Spike began to sweat.

"Ih...Me starting to get worried."

~Stitch and Spike were about to tell the girls about the eyes but they had walked off and up a steep hill because it was the shortest way to Canterlot High. The two dogs scurried up the hill too and easily caught up with the gang, but before Stitch or Spike could tell them anything, Lightning interfered.~

"So, Stitch, if you are going to be living with us now you need a warm place to sleep. I guess you can sleep with me until something is arranged. I wanted to make Spike a room since I just met him, so, Ooh! You two could share the spare room I've got and I can make it your own!"

"Ih, that's great, but-"

"And food…" Lightning continued. "You eat dog food and meat, so, that's no problem…you can have all the meat you can eat...I'll make sure there's space for you to exercise. It will be your hideout too...we'll all...look after...each other…"

Lightning stopped when she saw that Spike was feeling really distressed, beginning to whimper.

"Is everything ok, Spike?" Fluttershy asked.

"I-I feel like we're being watched…"

~The rain seriously began to pour down upon the girls and they looked up to see blue lightning striking behind thunderous clouds. They slid down the hill and continued to watch the storm play out. Although, Lightning did start to panic and breathe heavily and went to turn back to the trees, but then saw the lustrous eyes. About five of them. Then a scratching sound was heard and Lightning and Stitch turn to see deep claw marks on the trees. This caught the others' attention and they saw what Lightning, Stitch and Spike saw.~

"I can't-" Lightning shook a little.

"What's happening?" Rainbow looked around, panicking.

~The thunder above them flashed and everyone got a glimpse of the owner's of the eyes. Then they heard snarling.~

"Girls. Go. Run." Lightning firmly said.

"What?" Sunset said.

"GO! RUN! NOW!"

~Rainbow sped off and Lightning promptly shoved the rest to move. Wolves came thrashing out of the trees and barked and began to chase them.~

"What is it? What are they…?!" Fluttershy screamed.

"Wolves...!" Lightning confirmed.

"WOLVES?!" Pinkie shrieked.

"Don't look back!" Lightning shouted.

~Lightning activated her geode and did her best to hold off the wolves or make them stop, but they were too agile, too big, and too strong. Something hit Lightning at the back of her head and on her nose, and she almost got her leg bitten off, so she had to continue running with the team. Suddenly laughter was heard from somewhere and some familiar people jump at the Rainbooms, forcing them to stop in their tracks.~

"Give us the dogs!" It was the Flunkies.

"What...Never!" Twilight cried.

~Stitch and Spike hide behind everyone's feet as the three men begin to monologue. Rainbow Dash tried to find a way to escape, but the wolves that were chasing them showed up and were surrounding them at their legs. If one foot stepped out of the ring, the wolves would gnaw it right off.~

"Where do you think you're going?!" The Flunky asked.

"Away from you!" Rainbow answered angrily.

"You can't take Stitch and Spike!" Fluttershy urged.

"Too bad, sweetie."Another Flunky smiled evilly. "Your dogs are going to be our wolves' main course. A little salt and lemon in their eyes wouldn't hurt them, would it? Echo, get 'em!"

~A wolf suddenly leapt in the crowd and snatched Spike up with its jaw. He wriggles to break free but started to feel pain among doing so. He cries out instead. Twilight and Fluttershy tried to step in and help but the wolves around them snarled and snapped at their feet.~

"Twilight!" Spike cried.

"Spike!" Twilight gasped.

"No…!" Fluttershy whimpered.

Spike's eyes bulge. "He-Help!"

"Shut up!" The Flunky screamed at Spike.

Stitch began to growl.

"Hm." Spike's captor smiled.

~The wolf clutching onto Spike runs away and Twilight breaks down. The man clicks his fingers and the second wolf wheels down to capture Stitch. Luckily, Lightning prevented that and tossed the wolf away from him. Suddenly the second man frowned and stepped in. He pulled out a pistol and shot at Lightning. It hit Lightning's leg and she begins to feel weak. She goes down suddenly and the Mane 7 were pushed down to the floor by the wolves. Stitch growls some more and jumps in but the remaining wolves scratch and bite him. He whimpers and closes his eyes before falling down. One wolf then slowly picks him up in its mouth before racing off with the pack, leaving the three men to deal with the girls.~

"Stitch...no…" Lightning softly groaned.

"Care to dispose of these here girls." One Flunky turned to his men.

"Give me that pistol, then." The second one prompted.

"Oh, man. White Spark will be proud of us for this."

Lightning gasped. "White Spark…? I knew it!"

~Lightning gained her strength back and pulled herself and the others up to face the guys.~

"White Spark woke up, followed us, and waited for a chance to strike and take Stitch and Spike!"

"Wh-Where did are you take them...?!" Fluttershy demanded before groaning a little.

"Somewhere where no one can hear them scream…" The Flunky sneered.

"You-You monsters!" Rarity cried.

"Hey, wolf's gotta eat." They shrugged.

"Can they eat anything else besides innocent woodland animals?!" Sunset glared.

"No...Because it ruins their appetite-"

"Would you stop talking to them and just end them already!"

"I'm getting there!" He points his pistol up at the Rainbooms. "So, who wants to die first?"

"This is bad…" Lightning feared.

"W-What are we going to do…?!" Fluttershy whimpered.
