Wittyhooves Campfire Tales

" How are all the ghouls enjoying themselves", said Wittyhooves walking out into the light of the fire, throwing shadows and dressed as a Lunar Guard.

It was a very special night tonight, for tonight was Nightmare Night and, with candy bags scattered around, everyone was in costume. The costumes ranged from monsters to hot nurses. There was an inaudible reply from a colt in a Discord mask.

" I'll take that as a yes", he said, adjusting his helm.

" Hey Witty are you gonna tell some scary stories tonight", said an old school sheet ghost pony.

" Nah, I have an action story for you tonight. I have a tail of a Nightmare Night fight to share with you who weren't there ", he said in the flickering light of the fire.

" Yeah", said a sexy unicorn nurse" about earlier, with that group of thugs dressed as Changelings".

" Ok here is how it went down. It wasn't pretty either, for them..."

" So guys", said the sexy nurse named Drill Bit" are we going to drop off these bags or are we going to keep going," she said to the group of ponies.

Wittyhooves, with his fabric candy bag on his back, was doing great this year and his armor was an awesome idea.

" I think that we are gonna go through one more neighborhood and then head to my house for candy trade", replied Witty.

" Ok ", said Drill Bit adjusting her custom steel drill on her horn, and peering off into the distance.

" Guys stop for a second", she said in a slightly hushed tone.

The group stopped in the coldesac, confused.

She asked the group " Are those changelings"?

The group of ponies squinted trying to see the creatures she spoke of.

" No", said a goblin pony" one just took their mask off, but they have a whole cart of candy bags, and I don't think they're friendly, several ponies just ran from them", he finished in horror.

" Ok is Blacksash here", asked Witty.

" Right here friend", the small white colt said as he walked out from behind a clown pony" how may I be of assistance".

" Do you think you can get close enough to here what they are saying", he asked with a thought filled demeanor.

" I'll see what I can do", he answered from thin air, for he was already dashing, with amazing speed and quietness, down the street.

" Ok guys", said Witty with the sound of battle in his voice" get behind this wall and get ready to back Sash up if anything happens, we loose nopony today"

Sash quietly ran on the side of the street, sticking to the shadows. He silently galloped from the inside of a bush to under the cart, filled with goodies.

" We need to hurry up and get to another street before someone tells some guards", said a male pony dressed as a changeling," we just need a few more bags and we'll be set for the year", he said to his group of five.

Another pony answered", ok but we need to hide it in my basement or somepony will find it".

" Ok lets roll".

A changeling pony pulled the cart. As the cart rolled a wheel went over Blacksash's tail. He let out a small yelp, praying to Luna that they hadn't heard. His prayers went unanswered. The changeling group turned their heads simultaneously towards the sound.

The first punch was easily dodged. Not very chatty are they, thought Blacksash.

" Thats our cue", said Witty more ready for a fight than ever" Drill Bit, LowK, and I are going. Everypony hang back incase we need backup". Witty grabbed his lead trident from his sheath. " Drill Bit sand down the spikes", he said with with blazing fury" I don't intend to kill anypony today".

The nurse, guard, and engineer galloped into battle.

Blacksash had taken a few blows when he heard galloping from his right. Wittyhooves arrived into action ready to send a blow. He ran up to the closest attacker and pushed the three pronged weapon under his stomach. He then threw the changeling pony into the pony who had just unbuckled himself from the cart. They both went down and struggled back up.

Meanwhile LowK was fighting an identical changeling pony. The attacker charged at him horn ready to stab into the small orange pony when LowK lunged to the side and stuck his hind leg out, tripping the pony.

Drill bit was fighting off two changeling ponies magically throwing nails from her saddlebag, stabbing the attackers costumes to the street. Then, using her steel drill horn tip to hammer the nails into the earth, ending her quarrel.

Now it was three, Witty and his friends, against two, the remaining changeling ponies.

" Drill Bit", Witty screamed, dodging a hoof and taking another to the head" take out the wheels , Hng, on the bucking cart", he called, taking a low blow.

The mare obeyed and pierced both wheels in the center, splitting them in fourths. LowK knocked the hooves from one pony and kicked him to the side. Witty slammed his trident into the side of his foe, knocking him onto the street. He then stabbed the three prongs onto the earth, with the changeling ponies head between two prongs, pinning his quarry.

Witty turned to his friends," were did Blacksash go", he asked, panting and taking his helm off.

He retreated to get his bruises checked when we showed up", said the mare, picking up her nurses cap.

Witty turned to his prisoners. " Don't go anywhere, we are gonna find who you stole this candy from. Every single one of them.", he turned to his friends" nopony goes candyless tonight".

The group of ponies left behind galloped over and started a search party to find the ponies who's candy had been stolen. It ended up as a long night of happy faces on strangers and dozens of sweaty hoofshakes from parents and young ponies who heard of the battle. When they were all done they went to Witty's for a Nightmare Night candy trade. And to tell the tale to those who weren't there.

" Oh Luna", said Witty, calming himself down" that was great and I was so happy that everypony got their candy back, and gosh who knew it would be a good idea to bring a real weapon for my costume". " Hey anypony got any gummy parasprites".
