A Unusual Foe
Chapter 2
Previous ChapterStuck in a Four by Four room
Speaksy looked around the room as best as they could, they couldn’t see out of their right eye for an unknown reason. Time became something like a companion to them as they began counting the cracks and grains in the stone wall.
“Seven thousand three hundred and forty-four, seven thousand three hundred and forty-five, Seven thousand three hundred and forty-six, twenty, twenty one, twenty- ah cranberries I lost count…”
Speaksy muttered before counting again loudly from the beginning, a single mare watching the changeling counting again before jumping in surprise.
“Hey! Whatcha staring at!? You… you flanker!”
Speaksy said abruptly before bitting at the air with soft humming noises. The mare blinked a bit before walking away from the cell door before speaking softly.
“It’s gone mad in only two bucking hours..!?”
Inside the Mayors office
“In all my years of running this town I have never ever seen such violence towards anypony or any creature like that…!”
Most of the mane six were in the office with a furious mayor, getting berated for their actions. Mayor mare eyes were trembling in anger, her usual energetic and jolly personality was replaced with a fury and disappointment.
“M.. mayor mare w.. we only…-“
Twilight began to try and explain their actions only for a loud voice to shut her up.
“No! I don’t want to hear it! Frankly you’re lucky that your hero’s to Equestria and bearers of powerful artifacts but that does not make it right to attack them like that!”
Mayor mare took a deep breath before continuing, her anger still there but much more calmer.
“You four will go apologize to Speaksy for attacking them, when Rainbow wakes up she will apologize as well. But until then the punishment will be on their hooves.”
Rarity’s eyes widen before shuddering out in panic, her thoughts being plagued with thoughts of what the changeling could do.
“B… But mayor mare…! W… what if he decides to put us in his… his sick twisted harem..!?”
Rarity’s friends looked at her, feeling both disgusted and grossed out save for Pinkie Pie, but what the mayor said next made them feel sick.
“If that is what they choose then yes. But be grateful that Speaksy is an absolutely gentle stallion…. Mare…. You know I never actually asked them about their gender…”
Twilight had a massive blush on her muzzle before she cover her mouth with a hood, Applejack hid her face with her hat to cover the shocked blush on her face, Pinkie looked at the group with a confused face as rarity’s face went green.
“Uhh What’s a harem…?”
Pinkie Pie said, earning a few groans from the others.
The Single mirrored room
Officer Butterscotch, A transferred unicorn from Manehatten, sat on the opposite side of the table of the large changeling wearing a eyepatch. Her eye twitched in annoyance on how anypony considered it a threat as it was contempt to gnawing on the wooden table while repeating the same word over and over for the last twelve minutes.
“Nom. Nom. Nom.”
Butterscotch felt that she was going to go inside before she shouted loudly, grabbing the changelings attention.
“So… Speaksy… can you please explain what you call yourself… so I can list them down in the report…?”
Speaksy stared at her for a whole minute long before responding with the table still in their mouth.
“Speaksy….? What a dumb name….”
Butterscotch could not help but grunt loudly in anger as they completely ignored her. With an intimidating shout, Butterscotch spoke.
“Just bucking tell me about your gender and…”
Speaksy quickly spoke up to respond but forgot to stop chewing on the table.
“Me am male… I’m special… can I have butterscotch from butterscotch…? Where am I…?”
Butterscotch felt her face go red with embarrassment and rage as if giving the changeling her body was an option.
“Listen here bucker!! I’m not some stripper that spreads her legs for anypony! Not even if you payed me in millions of bits!”
Butterscotch leaned forward into Speaksys face, snarling as she was preparing to kill him. Speaksy then licked her nose and giggling childishly before responding.
“I want candy… not whatever you’re offering…. Your very funny…”
It took a few excoriating painful minutes for a pair of strong stallion guards to pull the furious Butterscotch away from the changeling who was in the middle of being beaten the absolute flank out of them. The badly rotten eye had been removed with their skull and left hanging from Speaksy face. After calming down a bit, Speaksy grabbed the daggers blade with a hoof before pulling it out. Completely forgetting the pain, Speaksy then cut the stalk of the drooping eyeball and let it roll to the floor before falling face first into the table and passing out.
Inside Chief office
“Assaulting a prisoner, helpless and in their own words… special… causing trauma and even attacking your fellow officers… are you insane…!?”
The small earth pony stallion said at butterscotch, even so far as to lean forward to the now cowering butterscotch.
“If this thing wasn’t a political figure I’d give you a medal for dumbest cop alive! You are VERY lucky that the mayor has already a bunch of idiot mares to deal with… now you will one day apologize to Speaksy but not today. You are as of right now demoted to janitor and will be cleaning the station top to bottom for the next three months! Understood!?”
Butterscotch nodded before looking away. The chief growling in anger before speaking up.
“Now get out of my office trash can”
Ponyville stations entrance
Twilight and her friends waited outside the station for Speaksy, after dealing with a few issues between themselves and after receiving a harsh speaking too from Fluttershy after she got back from the ponyville hospital. Applejack noticed a small bottle on the floor by the doors to the station, reaching over and picking it up Twilight walked over to her.
“What’s that you found Applejack…?
Twilight asked her friend, getting a short response from her.
“I’m not sure sugarcube…”
Applejack read the name of the owner, followed by the prescriptions description.
“Speaksy Raven… prescription… take one to two pills every month until (NDE) trauma goes away… warning.. forgetting to take pill regularly will result in temporary delusions of seeing objects that aren’t real, depression, lowered IQ and the lack of proper social skills followed by anxiety of gnawing on anything sturdy to keep calm.”
