Chapter 8 The Goose is Loose

POV Jacob fidelis

“RUN THE GOOSE IS LOOSE!” One of the death corps soldiers yelled in fear as he bolted out of formation. The roar that sounded all to familiar to me made my blood run cold.

“What the heck is that noise?” Twilight sparkle said aloud.

“BAZELGEUSE SCATTER!” I yelled dragging twilight sparkle into cover just as the Wyvern dived into our previous position.

“It had to be that fucker!”

“Watch out your gonna step on a sc-“

BOOM!

“Hey I hate to be stating the obvious here but can’t you talk that Bazelgoose down!” I heard an annoyed applejack yell.

“It’s a fucking that drops bombs and crashes into you im pretty sure azure doesn’t speak bazel anyway!” I heard ed yell from another location as the wyvern roared.

“Twilight move its dropping its scales!” I grabbed a confused twilight sparkle and dragged her away from the cover that subsequently exploded from the scales.

“Shit Rocket ready!”

“Backblast Clear!”

“Firing!” I heard the sound of an explosion followed by a roar as I peeked out of cover. Only to see it dive bomb into the last remaining survivor of the Death corps. I got a notification dropping the surviving members down to one.

“Shit ed please tell me. OH, SON OF A BITCH!” I yelled as the goose came flying right us. Dragging a now annoyed twilight sparkle out of cover again into new cover that was now shared by everyone.

“Everyone alright?” I asked as azure erected a barrier spell protecting us for the time being.

The responses of fines until we got to fluttershy.

“Where the hell is fluttershy?!” I yelled in a panic.

“HEY, YOU’RE JUST A BIG BULLY.” ‘Fuck my life she had to talk to the giant bomber of death. Gathering my courage, I jumped out of our cover running towards the yelling. To my surprise the bazelgoose was just standing there looking at the cream-colored pony.

“Hey guys come look at this.” I yelled perplexed by what the hell I was looking at. I readied back up plan just in case.

“WHY ARE YOU PICKING ON MY FRIENDS!” a few grumbling snorts from the Goose.

“That doesn’t make it right.” Grumble grumble low roar*

“I understand we will be on our way.” EXTREMLY LOUD FUCKING ROAR*

“Okay ponies we got five minutes to get out of here!” Fluttershy yelled to us.

“FLUTTERS LOOK OUT!” Rainbow dash yelled. Luckily, I was ready. With a popping sound a grenade flew into the now charging bazelguese mouth its scales flying everywhere. It ate the grenade and a few seconds later its head exploded as its neck with its scales now unable to regenerate swung violently.

“Move that thing is just as deadly dead as it is alive.” Ed yelled moving back up the route we took a bit.

I watched as the now headless bazelgeuse started running into the walls of the valley. Until finally ramming into the wall for one final time.

“That takes care of that.” Was all I said reloading the grenade launcher and moving forward.

I looked at the ponies who now looked like they were gonna be sick. They also looked horrified at what they just witnessed.

“Be glad its only just one ed, commander we need to move now before another one of these things shows up.” Azure said nothing nodding as she herded the remaining ponies forward while ed picked up the rear.

“W? wh? Why? Did you kill it?!” Fluttershy asked. I slung my rifle over my shoulder turning on my heels to face her. She seemed upset more than anything.

“Because it was going to eat you.” I simply answered.

“It wasn’t going to- STOP!” I yelled cutting her off shocking her.

“This isn’t equestria this is the corridor your out of your depth here fluttershy.” I said coldly. This only seemed to reignite the anger fluttershy had.

“That type of wyvern may have killed your friends in the past, but you have no reason to have killed it so viscously.” I clenched and unclenched my fists holding back a deep reckless feeling within me.

“The creature said it wouldn’t harm me. THAT’S the keyword here fluttershy it said it wouldn’t hurt “YOU”. The rest of us are dinner that bazelgeuse was going. TO. KILL. US. Not all creatures have good in them fluttershy. This conversation is over.” I said in finality. Turning around and moving forward as to prove I was done talking.

“Man, what a jerk.” Rainbow said lowly thinking only her fellow ponies heard her. Something snapped. Normally words wouldn’t bother me but the stress of these ponies. Pinkie pies antics and having to deal with bazelgeuse tipped me right over the edge. The lack of sleep probably didn’t help.

I turned around only to be met by Azure her body radiated magic.

“Stand down.” She said calmly.

“With all due respect ma’am.”

“Get back on point now.”

A roar pierced the sky another much bigger bazelguese showed up. It turned to look at us roaring in challenge. Azure marched in front of us.

“YOL, TOOR, SHUL!” Translation “Fire” “Inferno” “Sun”

The spell of fire completely enveloped the wyvern and a few seconds later nothing remained of the bazelguese.

“Back on point scout!” She commanded.

I Turned and marched forward. My focus on my surroundings. The final surviving member of the death corps ticked from 1 to 0.

POV Arzurgas “Azure”

I watched as my son marched off, I quickly followed behind him along with the rest.

“Consider yourself lucky you aren’t dead fluttershy he was this close to killing or seriously hurting you.”

“I- Im Sorry” Fluttershy said hiding behind her mane.

“Fluttershy words of advice never ever use the past of a dragonborn or a dragon in general to try and diffuse or argue your point.” Fluttershy didn’t respond but rainbow answered in her stead.

“Why shouldn’t we I mean flutters here knows his past after looking into his eyes earlier and with that ability I bet she has gotten context behind it.” I sighed ‘these ponies are still children they have much to learn.’

“Dragonborn are very similar to dragons in the fact that once angered they are hard to calm down… very few humans could ever calm me down when I got angered enough to rampage.”

“So how close would you say he was too.” Rainbow dash didn’t finish the question.

“He is on the edge right now so from this point forward don’t ask any questions don’t bother him unless there is an emergency twilight knows what im talking about. Lastly just don’t try and piss him off he is currently seething at the moment let his rage cool before we get the end of this journey look the sun is up we must be past the ¾ point. Sure enough the darkness of night in few seconds was replaced with daylight it looked to be morning or late morning from the suns position.

We trudge forward until everything started getting even colder.

“The sun is out why is it getting colder?” Ed said offhandedly.

“Coming on alpha camp!” Jacob yelled ahead of us.

“Girls please don’t speak during this portion of the journey the dead are restless here.”
