Another day, another day off from training so hard. Right now, Firebrand, Dr. Wolf, Silver Quill and I were in Dr. Wolf's office, trying the fix the Re-spawn Generator, but we've been having trouble.
"I'm pretty sure it's the red wire." Firebrand noted, while Silver Quill was eating chips, and I was working on the back of the machine.
"With all due respect, Firebrand, shush." Dr. Wolf told him, "I built this, so I think I know what I'm doing."
"They burned it out." Firebrand pointed out, "I think I know what I'm talking about."
Silver Quill ate another chip, with annoyed Firebrand. The military Pony and snow wolf turned to the large Hippogriff.
"Can we help you?" Firebrand asked.
"Oh, don't mind me." Silver Quill answered, "It's been a slow day, so I thought I'd... Observe."
Firebrand growled, but returned to work. I looked at the large Hippogriff, "That's all and well, Silver, but please keep it down." Then I returned to work.
"How can you be sure that this thing doesn't turn us inside-out?" Firebrand asked Dr. Wolf.
Dr. Wolf glanced at him for a second, then returned to work, "If I can carefully calibrate the-"
Silver Quill popped bubblegum and the generator sparked. It lightly shocked Dr. Wolf and and Firebrand, but the spark touched me and shocked me pretty bad. I collapsed on the ground, twitching a little, "O-o-o-o-w-w-w-w...."
"Miss. Nymph, are you alright?" Dr. Wolf asked me.
The twitching subsided, as I dusted myself off and stood up, "A little jumpy, but I've gone through worse."
Dr. Wolf turned to Silver Quill, "Silver, please, this is stressful enough, without you making it into a spectator sport."
Silver Quill pouted and folded his arms, "Oh, sure. When I get blown up, it's all fun and giggles. But when I need some stimulus, you're all super serious."
Firebrand and I answered in unison, "Actually yes!"
Firebrand was ready to punch Silver in the face, but Dr. Wolf held him back. "Silver, I understand that you're bored, and looking for something to entertain yourself." Dr. Wolf sympathized, "But right now is not really a good time. Could you, please, find yourself another activity to busy yourself with?"
Silver Quill nodded then pouted, "Fine. Fine."
He turned to leave the shack, then Sweetie Bloom came in, bumping into wheel of cables along the way, "Ow! Ow!" She entered the room, "Please, Doc. Help me."
My eyes widened in surprise. Her eyepatch has been glowing that Celtic green since Dusty's attack? Must have been torture.
"Wait, which 'Doc' are you referring to?" Firebrand asked, "Doc, or 'Doc' Doc? Wow. This is hurting?"
We got our answer, as Sweetie turned to Dr. Wolf. Dr. Wolf turned to Sweetie Bloom, "Can it wait, Sweetie? We're trying to get the Re-spawn Generator fixed."
"Oh. Okay. Sorry." Sweetie frowned. Then she turned around and bumped into me, "Sorry."
"Sweetie? You look awful. What's wrong?" I gasped, as I got a good look at her.
She pointed to her glowing eyepatch, "This. Ever since I got in touch with my inner Celtic hunter, my eye hasn't stopped glowing! I haven't slept in two days. I keep bumping into things. Can you, please, do something?"
I scratched the back of my head, "Well... I'm afraid I can't. From what I can understand by examining these unequivocal truing postulates of physics and other the ages of logical deduction of the overarching narrative that this metaphysical chinos interactive simulation is predicated on..." I took a breath, "Suicide is the best option."
"NNNNEEEEERRRRDDD!!!"
Firebrand looked at me, "Wait, I'm the Medic here. How come you get to say things like that?"
"IQ of 152." I answered casually.
"Unfortunately, Sweetie, Echo Nymph is right." Dr. Wolf spoke up, "Until this gets fixed, we can't change anything. So I have to ask you hold out just a little longer."
Sweetie Bloom shrugged, "Well, at least it's something." Then she made her way out of the shack.
"Try not to do anything dangerous!" Dr. Wolf called after her.
With Sweetie gone, Dr. Wolf and I returned to work. Firebrand sniffed the air and spoke up, "Hey, I know I'm no mechanic. But I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to be smelling sulfur."
"Sulfur?" Dr. Wolf asked.
I sniffed the air. The smell of rotten eggs filled the air of the shack. "He's not lying, Doc. There's sulfur in the air."
Dr. Wolf rubbed his chin, "But that should only happen if-"
I quickly gasped in realization and shouted, "Get down!"
~BOOOOOM!~
But I was too late. A loud explosion blew us off our hooves and paws, as there was a large hole in the wall. Who else responsible, but Silver Quill.
"See this? This is why I need stimulus." Silver explained, "I need to be entertained, and I'm not entertained then the vision of the dimension upon..." He babbled on, as Firebrand and I dusted ourselves off and glared at the large Hippogriff, "And therefore it is your fault that this happened, and it is you who needs to fix the hole in the wall."
I growled, as my anger reached its peak. I picked Silver Quill up and threw him out the window, "GO BOTHER SOMEBODY ELSE!!!"
I took a breath and calmed down, then returned to helping Dr. Wolf with the Re-spawn Generator.
"What the heck was that?" Dr. Wolf asked me.
"Oh... I forgot to mention." Firebrand spoke up, "Echo Nymph here, when she gets angry, she gets demonic."
"I'll be fine now." I spoke up, with a growl still evident in my voice.
"Echo Nymph, may I make a suggestion?" Dr. Wolf spoke up, "Since you're still frustrated, I say you take the day off and let you cool down a bit more. Meditate or work on your hobbies."
"I said I'm fine." I insisted, my anger and frustration building up inside me.
"Echo Harmonia Nymphadora Wolf River Cosmic Crisp. I insist. Take the day off." Dr. Wolf told me sternly.
Noticing he used my real name, I put my tools down and lowered my head, "Yes, Doc." I left the shack and took flight to find some peace and quiet to calmed down.
I found a lonely rooftop and was able to close my eyes and calm myself. After a few hours of meditating and breathing with my favorite mantra 'Azarath Metrion Zinthos', I was able to calm down. However, I heard a familiar voice speak from behind me, "Well, well, well. Look who it is."
I opened my eyes and answered in a low tone, "ToonKriticY2K. If you're here to make pun jokes about me, I'd keep them to myself. I am in no mood right now."
"What's wrong? Lost your son? Maybe your curse has stranded him elsewhere?" He teased.
I glanced at him, a shadow flame engulfing my body, "Make another joke, Toon... I dare you..."
Before he could open his mouth, Dr. Wolf spoke through the intercoms, "Good news, Everyone. We finally got the Re-spawn Generator working again... Again..." Then Firebrand added, "So, if y'all could not go on giant rampages that be greeeaaat. Yes, I am directly referring to Lightning Bliss and Keyframe. This is your fault and you should feel terrible. You should've followed Nymph's example and find another way to calm down."
Toon's eyes widened and looked at me, "Wait... You found another way to calm down?"
"Wrath is not my sin. Envy is. That's way my coat is green." I explained. Then I felt something warm in the air, and it was starting to get warmer, "Do you feel that?"
Toon raised a brow, "Feel what?"
Suddenly, the record shack burst into flames and something emerged from the fires. It was a human, teenage female, in Equestria Girls style. Her hair was maroon and her skin was a deep red. She had her pony ears and Pegasus wings. Her eyes were flaming and a fiery aura enveloped her. She wore purple armor and wielded two flaming swords.
She looked like Ink Rose. Only angry.
"Repent before my wrath, sinner!" She shouted, as she charged toward Silver Quill and Sweetie Bloom.
My eyes widened and I gasped, "Ink Rose?"
"And I'm outta here!" Toon summed up, as he flew away.
I joined Firebrand and Dr. Wolf, as Ink Rose calmed enough to return to her Pony form.
"If I wasn't so terrified, I'd actually say that was kind of... Hot." Firebrand smiled.
"Miss. Rose?" Dr. Wolf started, until Ink Rose charged up to him, "3 hours... 3 hours I've been fighting demons in Tartarus because of Silver! He'll be sent to the after-afterlife when I'm through with him!"
"Miss. Rose, I fear that reaction was a little extreme. Maybe you should come with me and-" Dr. Wolf started, then I noticed what Ink Rose just said, "Wait... Did you say you were fighting demons for the past 3 hours?"
Ink Rose nodded, "Yes. I probably flew four circles and a half trying to get out." Then she grabbed Dr. Wolf's collared shirt, "Why in the world would you fill a pit with underworld horrors underneath your office? Eldritch much?"
"Ink, calm down." I spoke up, "Doc probably didn't know about the pit."
Dr. Wolf nodded, "Miss. Nymph is right. I didn't know about the trapdoor until we started receiving volunteers for new team members."
Ink calmed down and let go of Dr. Wolf. However, Firebrand was whistling nonchalant and innocently. Ink Rose, Dr. Wolf and I turned to the Military Medic.
"Josh..." I started with a glare.
"What do you know about this?" Dr. Wolf asked.
Firebrand scratched the back of his neck sheepishly, "Well... When I dug the trapdoor, I may, or may not, have, quite possibly, kind of, accidentally opened something sorta resembling a likely a simile of a portal to Tartarus."
The three of us glared at Firebrand.
"I put a lid on it." He quickly defended.
"Both of you. Office. Now." Dr. Wolf told Ink Rose and Firebrand.
