The episodic adventures of Belle Star-

Ep: 4- Outlaw Star- Part 2

Bellestarmon felt uncomfortable as she walked alongside the skipping pink bundle of joy. Although the mare was more than welcoming compared to some of the other ponies she had ran into, she couldn't ignore the feeling that itched at the back of her skull. For all purposes they were complete strangers, yet she couldn't help but wonder if she had met another just like her before her arrival in Equestria. Perhaps a friend or family member from her past self.

Making their way into town proper, she glanced about at the empty streets. A stillness falling over the town only filled by the cheerful humming of Pinkie Pie. Scanning around with her eyes, she could make out the slight movement of doors closing and blinds being pulled down as the two of them made their way further into town. Stopping in her tracks, Bellestarmon stretched her arm out to her side, stopping the pink mare as she held her hand to her muzzle.

"Do you hear that?" Bellestarmon asked Pinkie Pie as she tilted her ears in various directions.

"Hear what?" Pinkie asked, unaware of the strangeness of the still town. "I don't hear anything."

"My point exactly." Bellestarmon stated, placing her hand on one of her side pieces. "This town was completely full of life a few minutes ago, I could hear it even from the tracks, but now it's completely dead. Like everyone just disappeared or hid."

"Maybe they're hiding so that they can throw you a surprise party?!" Pinkie suggested as she threw her hands up into the air, throwing out a cloud of confetti that dissolved upon reaching the ground.

"I doubt that, besides who throws a surprise party for a complete stranger, especially one that nobody knew was coming into town." Bellestarmon gave the mare a questioning eye as she watched Pinkie slowly raise a hand with a sheepish expression. "Did you set up a surprise party when you heard me coming into town?"

"Normally I would, but I got the feeling you probably didn't like surprises." The pink mare admitted looking at the deadpan face of the biker woman.

"Then it's probably not a surprise party, Pinkie." Bellestarmon said with a shrug of her shoulders. "Still, it does seem a bit odd doesn't it?"

"Eh, not really." Pinkie said in a somewhat flat tone. "Most ponies around here can be a bit shy or frightened by the arrivals of non-pony creatures."

"So this happens often?"

"Not too often, but there is this one non-pony that comes by every so often that scares the crud out of us. I'm not really sure what her name is, but we can tell she is up to no good based on her behavior." Pinkie finished her statement by blowing the puff of candy-like hair up a bit before turning to Belle.

The digimon raised her brow at the over welcoming mare as she was thrown off by her completely unwelcoming remark. "Care to give an example?"

"Well, whenever she walks into town, she goes to the center of the market and just paws at the ground." Pinkie said, demonstrating the spooky mare's behavior.

"And what else?"

"That's it." Pinkie said with a shrug.

A long moment passed as Bellestarmon stared at the mare, dumbfounded by the stupidity that was these ponies' reason to outcast the unknown mare. Without saying another word, the digimon took her claw of her holsted gun and grabbed the pink mare by her collar. Lifting the mare off the ground she grabbed the girl's shirt with her other hand, pulled her feet together, turned outward to bring her but to the mare's pelvis. As she did, she pulled the pink mare over her shoulder and kicked her outward leg back, slamming the slightly chubby pink party pony straight into the dirt road.

A loud slam filled the air as a wheeze came out of the mare as all the air in her lungs exited from the sudden impact. With the pink mare now on the ground, the digimon released her hold of the mare's shirt and continued on her way through town. The pink mare left lying where she had impacted, on the ground as she struggled to refill her lungs with air.

~Ep:4~

Making her way into the nearby market, the digimon started to go from stall to stall, grabbing various foods and items that she deemed necessary for her travel. A few herbs here, some vegetables there. A bundle of black tulips, only because she liked their appearance. She came to a halt when she reached a barrel of apples near one of the stands. Opening her saddle bag, which for all intended purpose seemed to be bottomless, she placed her foot on one end of its opening and stretched it open, throwing the barrel inside.

"Now what in tarnation do you think ya're doing!" Bellestarmon heard from behind her as she removed her foot from the bag, letting it close.

"What does it matter to you?" The digimon replied, looking over her shoulder with a scawl.

"It matters plenty!" An orange mare stated with an angry look on her muzzle. "That there are my apples ya steal'n."

Raising to her full height, Bellestarmon turned to the orange mare, her eyes looking down on her as she examined her appearance.

The mare in question had long blonde hair, orange fur and emerald green eyes. She wore a red plaid button up shirt with it's sleeves rolled up, a Blue Jean skirt, brown leather boots and a stetson hat.

"Now either you put them apples back or you cough up them bits. Cause ain’t no pony steals from an apple." The Orange mare threatened as she stormed up to the much taller woman.

"Really now, good thing I'm not a pony than." Bellestarmon said with a growl she strutted over to the mare, meeting her halfway.

As the two locked eyes for a hard moment a spark of conflict waiting filled the air. Neither backing down as they met chest to face.

"I'm warning you." The cowgirl said, pointing a finger.

"Well I'm not." Belle responded, grabbing the mare’s finger and bending it back. With a bit of pressure, she made the mare’s hand bend toward the girl's body causing her to lean back and bend her knee. A reflexive reaction caused by one's body trying to get away from the Spike of pain.

As the mare crumpled back from the sudden pain, a high pitched noise came from the digimon's side, followed up with a metal clang as her head tilted to the side.

"You leave Applejack alone you beast!" A familiar tomboyish voice yelled as something bounced off her mask.

Without releasing her grasp, Bellestarmon twisted the farm girl's hand causing a snap to come from Applejack’s wrist as she turned her head to look at the second mare that dared to strike her. As Applejack screamed in pain holding her wrist, the digimon caught sight of a blur mare with a rainbow mane hovering a few inches away with rage in her eyes.

"AJ!!!" The blue mare screamed as the digimon released her hold on the girl, who writhed on the ground in pain. "You're going to pay for that!"

Flying up high, the blue mare grabbed a dark cloud with her hands and dove down at the leather bond digimon. Her eyes set on the woman. As she came within a few feet of the digimon she threw the dark cloud forward and kicked it with the side of her heel, much like an athlete striking a ball.

Bellestarmon raised a brow as the blue mare made physical contact with the ball of water filled air as it shot out a large bolt of electricity that shot into the digimon's side sending her off her feet and to the side.

"Well, that's new." The digimon said, raising to her feet as she dusted off her leather leggings. "Nice trick, here's mine. FLY BULLET!!!" Summoning her pistol to her hand, she swung it in an arch as she pulled the trigger. Three metal bullets with the image of her mask appearing from the dark blue wave of energy as they tore apart the rain cloud with a burst of energy causing the area between them to fill with a fog of smoke.

With her position hidden from the mare's sight, she ran forward and leaped into the air. Her right claw free of her weapon reaching out as she grabbed the blue pegasus by her hoof and swung her down into the ground.

Holding her by her hoof, Belle pressed her heel into the mare's collar bone and held her down. "Didn't your mommy ever teach you to pick your fights." Bellestarmon taunted as she pressed down with her foot breaking the mare's collar bone.

"Rainbow Dash!" Applejack called out as the blue pegasus screamed in agony.

"Unless you want more cowgirl, I suggest you stay put." Belle threatened as she looked down on the pegasus beneath her. "I believe I owed you two strikes for your attack, hmm." Pulling her foot off of the mare, she brought her knee in close. Angling her victim's leg away slightly she took aim at the pegasus's knee and kicked into it, bending her leg to the side at a 90 degree angle before releasing the blue mare's hoof from her hold. The blue mare only going silent as her eyes went blank from the shock.

Walking over to her saddle bag, she bent down picking it off the ground and tossing it over her shoulder. As she stood up tall, she could make out several pairs of eyes peeking through the surrounding windows in shock at what the residents of Ponyville had just witnessed.

Turning back to the orange mare, she strutted up to Applejack with an annoyed frown on her face. "Keep the change." She said kicking the mare in the side of the head before dropping a handful of bent coins on her unconscious body.

~Ep:4~

Far across the frozen tundra, where the once home of the Crystal Empire once stood. A fair skinned woman with long flowing hair and eight large white feathery wings emerged from a blue rift in the sky. Her slender body was covered in a skin tight silk cloth that formed to her body. The top half of her face covered by a bronze colored metal helmet with a pair of small wings protruding from the sides. Her generous breasts cupped in metal plates in the shape of two wings. Leather belts wrapped around her stomach and right leg as a long pink scarf floated behind her, coiling around her arms unaffected by gravity.

Floating down from the rift, the angelic woman gazed out at her surroundings of snow and ice. Her hair flowing in an unseen breeze. Hovering just above the snowy ground a gust of wind picked up around her as three ethereal equines formed around her and began to circle. The chilling wind picked up into a strong blizzard as they surrounded her.

Extending her left arm, she made an ‘L’ shape with her hand and pointed it as if aiming with a bow. Golden energy started to flow out of left hand’s winged white glove as she reached for her wrist with her other hand and pulled back a sting made of light. Taking careful aim, the angelic woman held the string back for a moment before releasing the string. “Celestial Arrow!” The woman called out, firing a bolt of glowing light into the side of one of the ethereal equines. Its astral body tore to nothing as the arrow of light made contact.

Rotating her body by 60 degrees, she pulled back again and fired again striking the second creature in the head. Seeing its allies destroyed by the unknown figure, the remaining specter turned to flee before erupting in a ball of light by the third and final arrow.

With the three creatures destroyed, the silk-clothed woman pulled in the remaining magic of the fallen foes, absorbing their energy into her body.

~Ep:4~

To the south of Apple Loosa, just east of the Macintosh Mountains in the center of the badlands within the Changing Hive, a dark rift formed with the center of the underground cavern. Watching from the surrounding tunnels, black armored humanoid bugs with pony muzzles and sharp fangs watched as a giant red armor beetle with with four long arms and two giant pincers landed in the center of the hive with a crash, it’s hug maw drooling with saliva as it release an ear piercing screech.

Looking upon the intruder, the bug ponies known as Changelings began to open fire up the 40ft red giant as the beetle digimon swung its long arms into the cavern walls. Debris flew through the air as the small black Changelings were thrown to the side. The Changeling army shook in fear as the might of the red giant screeched again as it pounced forward, biting into the swarm of attacking Changelings with a chomp of its teeth. Green blood oozed from its jaws and it tilted its head back and swallowed.

Looking on in anger, a large mare with black slick armored skin, teak silk hair, large dragonfly wings and a long jagged horn stepped forward from one of the larger tunnels, her green slitted eyes burning in rage as her horn glowed in an emerald flame. “HOW DARE YOU ENTER THE HIVE OF THE CHANGELING QUEEN!!!” She screamed, firing a large burst of green flames from her claw-like hands scorching the outer exoskeleton of the red beetle.

As the Changeling Queen fired upon the digimon, it continued forward, chomping at the swarm of changeling soldiers unharmed by the queen’s attack. Seeing that her magical flames were all but ignored, Queen Chrysalis reached out in her magic, grasping a large group of stalactites and pulled them from the cavern ceiling. Pulling the stalactites free she sent them flying into the giant bug’s back only for the group of rocks to crumble upon its back as it slowly turned towards the queen in black.

Chrysalis gulped as she started to back away from the agitated digimon as it slowly started to stalk towards her. Pulling one of its long arms back, it relied back and swung its massive claw at the scared queen only to be pushed back as a dark green blur knocked its arm back as it flew past the queen. A smaller dark rift closed behind the changeling queen as an humanoid bug as tall as Chrysalis herself flew into the giant behemoth of a digimon, its body mostly covered in a dark green exoskeleton with segments of black armor that covered the forearms, thighs, feet and shoulders. His large dragonfly wings buzzed as it extended two long metal stingers from its arms.

“SPIKING FINISH!!!” It shouted as it ripped through the red giant with little ease.

The red giant screeched in pain as the dark green bug repeated to slash and stab at its bigger foe. The red beast swung wildly in hopes of striking the speeding green blur before finally stopping as the green bug tore straight through the giant’s chest and out its back. The large creature collapsed for a brief moment before turning into ash that was absorbed by the dark green bug.

Turning to the changeling queen, the green humanoid bug landed before the queen, its red eyes glowing like orbs as it walked over to the mare. Stopping just before Chrysalis, it knelt before her in a bow and offered her a dark green and black device.

“What is your name bug?” The Queen asked as she took the strange device from the insect’s hand.

“I am Stingmon… my master.” The green bug said, its eyes giving a faint gleam as the changeling queen grew a sinister grin.

~Ep:4~

On the outskirts of the Griffonstone, a tannish brown griffon with white feathers should tall on her back legs, her lioness tail swinging in the wing as she stood upon the red metal shoulder of the large red knight, Its large frame looking out in the distance as its long red cape flowed in the wind.

“Another has appeared.” The Large red knight said as it clenched its long white and red lance in its hand.

“It doesn’t matter.” The griffon said, her voice in disinterest as she clenched a gold and red device in her eagle like talon. “When we find them, they’ll wish they never came to this world.”
“Then where to first? Mistress Gilda.” The armored knight asked as it snapped the neck of a blue and yellow sea serpent in its left hand, his large circular shield hanging on his back as the body of the sea dragon broke away into ash.

“Why don’t we start with Clouds Dale, after all I have an old score to settle with some old flight students there.” Gilda said with a smirk as the metal knight and her took to the sky.

Author's Note
