Ch 8 (Papyrus-strife)

Previous Chapter

The Main 7 left Applejack’s house to downtown ( ) the area where the attack happened on T.V Fluttershy despite agreeing to help her friends in this was feeling terrified and feared that whoever did that much damage there, she knew they would find her and her friends as targets.

“Girls..” Fluttershy spoke as everyone got their attention on her who looked in fear as Rainbow Dash said.

“What’s the matter Fluttershy, is something on your mind?” Rainbow questioned her.

“It’s nothing it’s just.....I am starting to think that we won’t be able to stop whoever was responsible for all of this” She answered afraid and uneasy as Sunset looked at her friend now with a worried look.

“Come on Fluttershy, I know it’s hard for you knowing you fear our lives and yours but we can’t just let that thing loose and destroy everything we care about” Sunset said in a confident and brave face. “We are the only people who can stop this and this is why we are doing this”

“I know that Sunset but....what if we aren’t able to stop them, what if we...failed to do that?” Fluttershy asked now with a nervous look on her as Sunset tried to utter a word but Applejack spoke up

“Look Flutters, don’t think something like that ever I am sure they can’t they that much of a danger to us after all if it weren’t for all of us then everything would be in chaos right now even some of us wouldn’t even be able to handle all of this but don’t let your fear take you in and if things get worse for you, don’t forget we are here for ya” Applejack stated as Fluttershy give out a sigh of relief and replied.

“I guess I am getting a little paranoid aren’t I?” Fluttershy asked.

“YOU SURE ARE BUT DON’T WORRY YOU GOT ME PINKIE TO CHEER YOU UP IF YOU EVER FEEL DOWN AND I WILL GIVE YOU A GOOD TIME” Pinkie said as Fluttershy put out a smile on her face showing her smile made Rainbow happy.

“I am glad your feeling alright Fluttershy but we better go before things become complicated or us and for other people”

Rarity spoke as the others nodded and headed towards the city, they were shocked and horrified at seeing so much destruction caused in the area as they saw many people injured and some dead bodies being carried away as Twilight couldn’t believe what she was seeing and how shocked she was to think that her brother survived something like that, she then saw a tent where she saw Shining armor going in that tent along with her parents, Cadance and some doctors.

“SHINING ARMOR!!”

Twilight cried as she ran to see if her brother was ok while Sunset and the others followed her into the tent, they saw Shining armor alive with blood coming from his hands and some burn marks on his face as he laid on the bed unconscious as Twilight saw Cadance and her parents with worried looks on their faces as one of the doctors came to them.

“He will be fine, he just needs some time to heal so he will have to need rest for a while until he has fully recovered” The doctor said which made them give out a sigh of relief then Twilight went towards Cadance.

“Is he gonna be ok?” Twilight asked distressed as Cadance beamed at her and replied to her.

“The doctor said it himself he will be fine and that’s all you need to know” Cadance reassured Twilight who let out a smile of happiness while then Sunset and Rainbow both looked at their friend with a happy look on their faces while Applejack was talking to Fluttershy about her being paranoid while Rarity was with Pinkie just at the entrance of the tent.

“I am glad our son is alright but do you still think it is a good idea to let him do his job?” Twilight’s father asked his wife who replied.

“Maybe we can give him a day off to help him recover from his injuries even if he tries to tell us he is fine”

Twilight’s mother said which her husband gave her a small nod while looking at his injured and now
unconscious son while outside of the Tent Rarity was watching the entire scenario until she looked at Pinkie who was looking at the T.V chewing her popcorn in the Tent.

“Pinkie, what on earth are you doing just watching the T.V?” Rarity asked confused as Pinkie replied to her.

“Oh YOU DIDN’T KNOW!?,THERE IS A ATTACK HAPPENING RIGHT NOW AT CANTERLOT MALL RIGHT NOW!! I CAN'T-MISS THE IMPORTANT PARTS”

Pinkie said out loud as everyone heard what pinkie said and Sunset quickly pulled pinkie out of the way and as everyone gathered around the T.V to watch the News as it showed Canterlot Mall being decimated as Civilians were running in fear and the reporter was explaining everything and informing everyone about that same creature that attacked this area not long ago as everyone was horrified at the sight especially Rainbow, Applejack and Rarity.

“Oh no” Applejack uttered.

“Is something wrong Applejack??” Sunset asked in a confused look.

“APPLEBLOOM AND MY FAMILY ARE THERE They told me they were going to Canterlot Mall Today!!” Applejack cried in fear.

“Oh is that BAD for you Applejack?!, Sweetie Bell is with them too!” Rarity said in a panicked voice while filled with terror in her eyes.

“SO IS SCOOTALOO!!, I SENT HER TO GO WITH APPLEBLOOM AND SWEETIE BELL!! THIS IS ALL MY FAULT!” Rainbow Dash said in distress as she was scared that Scootaloo was not hurt but then Sunset tried to calm them down.

“Calm down you three, this is none of your faults you just didn’t know that was gonna happen we have to get to Canterlot Mall FAST!”

Sunset said as before she and her friends could go, they saw a huge pink creature on the T.V and was ready to kill the civilians but before it could, something stopped him as a familiar figure jumped in between the civilians and the creature who was glaring at them and Sunset was shocked to see who it was it was none other then.

“Papyrus??” Was all Sunset emitted from her mouth.


| MEANWHILE A FEW HOURS EARLIER WITH PAPYRUS |

Papyrus entered the shop and found himself to see so many things and items he could buy which he looked in amazement and excitement, of course, he wished he could buy them but he wasn’t here for those as he was here for the spaghetti he was gone to get for him and Sans as he was walking around trying to find them he then became confused and lost around the shop.

“(Ugh where on Earth is the spaghetti at?? I looked everywhere and I can’t seem to find it)”
Papyrus thought as he was thinking, he felt someone accidentally bumped into him and he looked behind him to see a human child on the floor.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to bump into you sir” She said nervously as Papyrus leaned his hand for her to get up.

“No need to apologize, but you must be careful where you're going as sometimes it could get you into serious trouble if that’s something Applejack would always do” Papyrus said.

“Hold on, you know Applejack??” She asked in a confused look.

“Why yes I do I met her in school along with her friends you know here too?” Papyrus replied.

“Yes she is my older sister and since you know her, I should introduce myself my name Applebloom” she spoke

“Pleasure to meet you Applebloom, I am THE GREAT Papyrus but people prefer to call me Papyrus ” Papyrus replied which made Applebloom cringe a little but she decided to overlook it as Papyrus continued to speak.

“What are you doing here all alone? Are you with your family or do you have a guardian with you?”

Papyrus asked Applebloom but before she could answer, another unfamiliar voice calls her name out.

Hey Applebloom!!” Two children about her age came towards her with worried looks on their faces and with them were two adults with them one being an old woman and the other being an adult man.

“Where were you?! we looked everywhere to find you” The girl with pink hair said in a serious tone while then the other spoke up.

“I thought someone kidnapped you for a second!!” The other spoke.

“Sorry girls but I was finding you guys myself until I bumped into someone” Applebloom replied while Papyrus stood there with nothing to say as he tried to speak until the old woman else spoke.

“Applebloom dear next time you better stick with me and your friends because I don’t like seeing you running off like that and I don’t want your sister to get worried about ya, isn’t that right big mac?” The old woman said.

“Eyup” The man replied as Applebloom looked resentful and replied. “Yes Granny Smith”

“Who is that guy behind you Applebloom?” Her friend asked pointing her finger at Papyrus who then looked at her while Applebloom spoke.

“Oh right, Scootalo, Sweetie Bell, Granny Smith, Big Mac meet Papyrus he is Applejack’s new friend in school” She said as Papyrus gave them a wave then Scootalo replied.

“Nice to meet you Papyrus, my name is Scootalo” She said.

“And I am Sweetie Bell” The other one expressed as Papyrus began to talk now.

“It is nice to meet you all I suppose we better continue shopping”

Papyrus reminded them as they all nodded and started shopping around the mart, Papyrus came across the section where he saw were frozen Spaghetti and seeing them gave a smile of satisfaction as he went to buy two frozen packets of Spaghetti and bought a bottle of ketchup for Sans.

“Sans is gonna Ketch-up with dinner if I find him sleeping and this will get his attention ” Papyrus imagined as he took the ketchup and saw the CMC standing next to him, Sweetie Bell giving him an annoyed look at the pun he made while Scootalo and Applebloom tried to hold their laughs at the pun.

“Well, looks like I have everything I need for dinner also, what are they laughing at?” Papyrus said.

“Oh it’s nothing it’s just that pun you made that’s all and to be honest it was terrible” Sweetie Bell said amused as she looked at Applebloom and Scootalo who have stopped laughing as Papyrus replied.

“It may be not my best achievement but it is what my brother does every time”

Papyrus complied as he picked up the spaghetti and the ketchup and started leaving along with the CMC, Granny Smith, and Big Mac while talking about when He and Sans joined Canterlot High but before they could continue the conversation, a huge explosion got their attention they saw people running away in fear and behind them were a bunch of pink creatures attacking them. Papyrus had his eyes widened in horror and fear as he recognized them to be Akumu’s creatures as the CMC, Big Mac and Granny Smith were running to safety as Applebloom was looking at Papyrus who was walking towards the Akumus.

“Papyrus what are you doing your gonna get yourself killed!!” Applebloom cried as Papyrus looked at her with a confident smile on his face.

““Don’t worry about me Applebloom, just get to safety I will be there alright? Now go!!”

Papyrus demanded as Applebloom nodded and ran to meet up with her friends as Papyrus looked at the Akumus who got their eyes on him and didn’t like seeing him as they gave him a growl as Papyrus’s eye glowed orange, summoned two blasters and a huge bone in his left hand as he approached his enemies.

“Alright you pests, Now I will show you WHAT I AM CAPABLE OF!!” Papyrus said as he jumped at the Akumus while firing his blasters at them.
