The Crimson Crusader

Chapter Four

Gentle and Crazy Blood

Moments later after escaping through the makeshift tunnel made by Sweetie Belle. Amy finds herself reaching the other end of the tunnel. “Finally, I didn’t think that tunnel would ever end.” She said as she climbed out. “I have to give credit to her friends, they made an impressive tunnel escape route but they really need to get the tunnel system fixed. Now then...where the hell am I now?” As she surveyed the area, Amy spotted what it looked like to be a cottage sitting on top of a small hill.

“Well that’s something you don’t see everyday. I wonder who lives there?” She wondered as she walked to the house and knocked on the door. “Maybe whoever’s inside can give me directions on how to get home?”

“Just a minute,” said the pony in the house. “Just let me get something decent.” She said as she finally opened the door. Amy’s eyes widened upon seeing a cream colored pegasus with pink long mane and tail while wearing a green sweater and sky blue dress with butterfly pictures knitted onto the dress. “Oh, hello. Can I help you?”

“Hi, I’m kind of lost and I was wondering if you can give me some directions?”

“Where do you need to go?”

“I’m trying to get back home to America.”

“What’s America?”

“You know? The land of the free, the USA., United States of America? Don’t you have a map or something so that I can show you what I mean?”

“Um...why don’t you come in and explain to me what happened.” Fluttershy said as the pegasus led Amy into her cottage. “My name is Fluttershy, what’s your name if you don’t mind me asking?”

“Amy Anderson the Third, and you wouldn’t believe the stuff I've been through during the past few hours.”

(Castle of the royal sisters)

“Are you sure this creature will be able to help us?” Chrysalis asked as the drone nodded his head.

“From what we can tell, the elements of harmony are having a hard time trying to capture her. And from what I saw, it looked like that creature knows how to use magic without the use of a horn.”

“Hm….interesting.” Chrysalis said as she stood up from her throne. “Have the soldiers prepare themselves, we’re going to Ponyville to find this creature and force it to tell us the secrets of her magic.”

“At once my Queen.” The drone said before quickly walking off to where the other drone soldiers are located.

“Hehehe. Soon Princess Celestia and Prince Artemis, you’ll rue the day for denying me and my kingdom the right to rule Equestria.”

(Fluttershy’s Cottage)

“And that’s pretty much it in a nutshell.” Amy said as she took a sip from her tea.

“Goodness you've been through alot.” Fluttershy said as she took a seat next to Amy. “I hope you’re not hurt or anything.”

“Surprisingly, I’m surprised that I haven’t gotten a scratch on me from falling through Rarity’s roof. Guess I got lucky that nothing really bad happened to me huh?”

“If you don’t mind me asking, but what are you? You don’t look like a pony seeing how I don’t see your tail, or ears, and fur.”

“Um...would you believe that I have a rare condition that makes me look like this from birth?”

“I don’t think that’s going to work.” Fluttershy said as she pulled out a piece of paper to show Amy what she meant. “Twilight sent this letter to me, this letter describing to me who you are.”

“So you knew who I was even before I knocked on your door.”

“I figure you need a place to hide so that Twilight doesn’t try and do anything horrible to you. This wouldn’t be the first time she’s done something like this.”

“....This isn’t her first time!?” Before Fluttershy could say anything else, there was a knock at Fluttershy’s door followed by a tomboyish voice. “Oh crap. She found me!”

“W-what’s wrong? It’s just a knock on the door.”

“It’s the pony that’s behind the door that I’m more scared of.” Amy said as she ran over to the window. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be running now.”

“B-but you just got here!” The pegasus stammered. “Aren’t you just overthinking this?”

“Fluttershy, open up! I need you to help me find Amy so I can punch her in the face!” Applejack yelled as it caused Amy to deadpans at Fluttershy.

“You were saying?”

“Applejack, that’s not nice!!” the pegasus shot back. “What did she do to you that was wrong!?”

“She destroyed part of the apple orchard! Do you know how hard we worked on making those trees....Wait, she's inside your house isn’t she?”

“Umm… No…”

“You know I can tell when somepony’s lying, right?”

“...Amy, run for your life. I’ll hold her off.” She said the last part in a silent whisper.

“Thanks I owe you one.” Amy whispered back as she made her escape through the window. “So long you country hillbilly!”

“GET BACK HERE, RED HEADED MONSTER!!” Applejack yelled as she ran around Fluttershy’s cottage, and charged after Amy. It didn’t take long for Amy to lose the earth pony as she hid herself in a log by the riverbed, completely avoiding Applejack as she ran past the log.. However, the only problem with that was she was stuck in the log as it began to tumble down the dirt path.

“Aw crap…” She said as she felt herself log rolling down a hill. “Oh god, it’s middle school all over again. Only this time it’s with a log, not a trash can!” During Amy’s tumble down hill, she noticed that she was rolling down into Ponyville. Mostly because she could see a few colorful buildings, and Rarity’s home being on the verge of repair. “Ugh, I think I’m going to be sick.”

(Sugarcube Corner)

“What’s that noise? Oh! That's right. I need to get up and help with the cakes today!” said Pinkie Pie as she pulled herself out of bed. “Better change out of my night clothes if I’m going to start cooking.” With a snap of her fingers, Pinkie Pie was now wearing light blue overalls and a yellow and blue stripe shirt. “There we go now let’s get this day going P-.” Before she could finish her sentence, a loud crash was made downstairs as it caught her off guard. “What was that!? I didn’t plan on meeting somepony who crashed into Sugarcube corner today?” The party pony rushed down stairs to see where the noise came from. Only to see the front room of sugarcube corner wrecked by a log.

“Huh, that's strange.” said Pinkie as she went up to the Log and gave it a kick.

“Ow! Who the hell just kicked me?!” Amy asked as she tried to move her body out of the log. “Whoever is out there, can you help me out please?”

“Oh! Sorry! I didn't know somepony was there. Be right back, don’t go anywhere!”

“Like I don’t have a choice.” Amy said only to hear a revving noise from a chainsaw.

“I’ll have you out in no time!” yelled Pinkie as she gets to work at freeing Amy.

“Wait what hell do you think you’re doing!?” Amy yelled as she saw the chainsaw’s blade appear in front of her face. The dark knight screamed in fear as the chainsaw was pulled away, only to return from behind.

“And done!” cheered Pinkie as the log splits open with an unharmed Amy inside.

“What kind of person uses a chainsaw to get someone out!?”

“Well duh, if I used a normal saw we’d be here all night.” replayed Pinkie as she put the chainsaw away. “This is way faster.”

“......I….Nevermind.” Amy said as she brushed the saw dust off herself. “So care to tell who you are?”

“Oh right, I’m Pinkie Pie. It's nice to meet you. Oh my gosh I need to throw you a party! What is your name?”

“Um…..Amy Anderson the Third.”

“Okay Amy, I need you to go outside and I’ll come get you when the party is ready, okay?” said Pinkie as she tried to push Amy outside.

“Normally I would do that, but I can’t at the moment.”

“Oh come on! You get to make a lot of new friends if you do.” Pinkie said as she started to push Amy out the doors.

“No seriously, I really can’t wait outside at the moment.”

“Come on, it'll be fine!” Pinkie said with a smile as she pushed Amy outside the doors. “I’ll get you when the party is ready!” She said as she shut the doors and locked them.

“Dammit! I gotta hide before that country bumpkin finds me-.”

“There you are! Stop right there thief!” yelled Applejack as Amy looked to her right to see the earth pony charging at her.

“Oh son of a bitch!” Amy said as she moved out of the way of the oncoming earth pony. “Will you fuck off already!?”

“Never!” yelled Applejack as she charged at Amy again. “You’re gonna pay for what you did to my farm”

“Geez, talk about holding a grudge.” As the earth pony charged at her again. Amy once again moved to the left, barely dodging Applejack’s tackle.

“Stop doing that!” yelled Applejack as she tried to go after Amy again. Only for her to dodge her again.

“You’re really easy to read country bumpkin.”

“I’ll get you this time!”

“Nope.” The dark knight quickly jumped onto a nearby tree and grabbed a tree branch as she pulled on it. “I really hope this works.” She said before noticing Applejack jumping towards her. The moment she was close, Amy released her hold on the branch and hit the farm pony in the face. This caused the farm pony to yell in pain as she was sent flying off behind a nearby house. “Yes! It worked!”

“What worked?” asked Pinkie Pie, who appeared behind Amy.

“Um….nothing….so how’s the party going?”

“Almost ready. I just need your help with something.” said Pinkie as she led Amy back to sugarcube corner.

“What do you need help with?”

“Just to test the Party Cannon 400. For some reason it’s been acting up for some reason, and I can’t seem to fix it.”

“Oh, well I’m sure I can fix it. You got a tool kit right?”

“Yep, it’s in there.” Pinkie Pie said pointing to the giant cannon off to the side of the open space in the kitchen.

“I have to ask, but why do you have a party cannon….especially one the size of a king size bed?” Amy asked as she stared at the impressively giant cannon.

“Well how else am I going to get the party ready on time.”

“......You know what, I’m not even gonna question that logic.” Amy said as she grabbed the tool kit beside the cannon. “Do you have a ladder or something for me to get inside it?”

“Here you go.” said Pinkie as she hands Amy the ladder.

“Thanks.” Amy climbed into the cannon as she began to fix it from the inside. “Damn girl, you really did a number on this baby. I mean really why would you put bubblegum in here?”

“I was trying to see if I could fire chewed bubblegum out of it...it didn’t work.”

“I can see why it didn’t work. Bubblegum mixed with heat do not go well together. Especially seeing how this kind of cannon uses a combination of gears and kinetic energy.” Amy said as she used her blood magic to burn the bubblegum off. “Okay that should do.” she said while poking her head out of the cannon. “Give it a try.”

“Okie dokie lokie.” Pinkie Pie said as she pulled the string connected to the cannon.

“Just let me get out of this before you do that-.” Amy didn’t have time to finish her own sentence, as she was sent flying off through the ceiling of Sugarcube corner.

“Hey! It worked! You’re really good at fixing stuff Amy…...Amy?” Pinkie Pie peaked her head around the cannon to see where Amy was, only to see a human-shaped hole in the wall. “Oops….maybe I should’ve waited until she got out of the party cannon before firing it? Oh well I’m sure she will be fine.” She said with a smile as she walked off into the kitchen. “I’ll just have to make her an ‘I’m sorry I blew you out of a cannon party’ after the ‘welcome to ponyville ms alien party.”

Outside of Sugarcube corner, Twilight and Spike continued their search for the human named Amy as Spike noticed an annoyed expression on the unicorn’s face in her failed attempt to find the human in Ponyville.

“She couldn’t have gotten far.” Twilight said as she looked around for the human.

“I still don’t see why you just can’t leave her alone Twilight?” said Spike as he followed the crazy unicorn.

“Like I said before, she could be the link between worlds. Can you think of the possibilities!?”

“I can imagine, but you and I both know this isn’t the way to be on friendly terms with the human?”

“I’m not going to hurt her...just want to have a nice friendly conversation with her...in my lab...alone. Now keep looking for Amy Spi-.” just as she was about to finish, both her and Spike heard a loud high pitched scream in the air. “What was that?”

“Sounds like Amy, only she’s screaming?” said Spike as he looks up to see Amy flying across Ponyville, and heading towards Rainbow Dash’s. “Yep, it’s Amy...”

“Where?!” Twilight said as she ran up towards the dragon. “Where did she go?!”

“......She was heading towards the school.” He said as Twilight rushed off towards Ms. Cherrliee’s schoolhouse. “You really owe me for this human.”
