Predator: Equestria

“PINKIE!” Twilight called out as she rushed up behind Pinkie, then the rest of the group rushed up and Pinkie Pie looked to them. Rarity stuck her MP5 right into the face of Zecora “If you ever do that again… I’ll end you” Rarity threatened. Pinkie’s stomach rumbled in need for more food and Pinkie grunted as she felt fatigue start to take its toll.

“Alright Zecora, where are the bodies?” Trixie asked. Zecora gave her a rather frightened look “The hive queen” Zecora replied. “The what?” Trixie asked curiously. “The hive queen, she feeds off love and emotion and uses bodies to make her hoard” Zecora said in a frightened voice.

Trixie pulled Zecora to her feet “Alright enough stories. We’ll just have to ask you later” Trixie muttered as she led Zecora away. Twilight motioned for the group to spread out and check for the bodies.

Pinkie was on the far left flank and was 30 yards away from Rainbow Dash as she stalked through the forest silently. She was pushing her body on reserves right now and her body was starting to defy her orders and simply wanted to stop and rest, but Pinkie knew she had to continue.

As she trotted through the jungle the sounds of irritating birds could be heard, along with other more tropical sounds rather than forest sounds. “I need some candy… or maybe some cake… a pie wouldn’t be bad right now” Pinkie complained to herself.

Trixie pushed Zecora along, Zecora paced along rather reluctantly, slowing their pace considerably. Trixie gave her a rather aggressive push and Zecora shot her a cold glare “What? You mad that you chose the wrong side? Get moving” Trixie ordered and Zecora turned to face Trixie. “If you want me to move faster than you should cut me loose” Zecora offered. Trixie scoffed gave her another push “Get moving”.

Twilight made her way closer to Fluttershy, who was still looking for any signs of the bodies. “Find anything?” Twilight asked her Pegasus friend, who simply shook her head in failure. “Sorry Twi… I just can’t seem to find any sort of pony or guerilla tracks” Fluttershy apologized. Twilight gave her friend a reassuring pat on the back. “Don’t worry you’ll find something I know it” Twilight said, boosting Fluttershy’s confidence.

They all reached the area where they had been dropped off. Twilight ordered for the group to regroup.

“It’s strange… there isn’t a single track other than ours” Fluttershy informed the group. Trixie turned to Zecora, “Alright zebra…story time” Trixie said as she sat Zecora down. “I already told you it was the hive queen” Zecora replied, Trixie gave her an irritated look. “Alright, then just what is the” Trixie began but was cut off by Pinkie’s stomach as it rumbled, “Oops sorry” Pinkie giggled as she stepped back.

Pinkie was really starting to lose it and needed something to eat, and now. Pinkie started trotting around as the group began to argue amongst each other. Something caught Pinkie’s smell and she sniffed the air, an irresistible aroma filled the air. It smelt like… like homemade apple pie.

Pinkie’s stomach grumbled even louder as it demanded to be fed. Pinkie trotted away from the group in search for the source of the aroma.

The forest trees were thick and Pinkie constantly had to push tree branches out of her face as she followed the aroma’s invisible trail.

Finally Pinkie spotted it, a perfect slice of apple pie on a plate. Pinkie trotted up to the pie but stopped and looked around. ‘This could be an ambush’ Pinkie thought to herself as she unslung her MP5 and pointed it in several directions as she inspected her surroundings.

Her stomach rumbled as her hunger became intolerable and she turned to the pie and looked at it with focused eyes. She laid down on the ground and crawled along the ground towards the pie.

She was within inches of the pie and its mere smell was intoxicating for Pinkie, making her mouth water. She reached out and snagged the slice of pie and quickly downed it with one gulp. A loud snap sounded off, like that of an electric whip, Pinkie’s Pinkie Pie sense roared to life and she rolled to the left, dodging an energy blast by mere inches.

She rolled to her hooves and leveled her MP5 at her assailant. A black figure flew down from a tree and Pinkie screamed out as she let her MP5 rattle in full auto.

Twilight and the group turned to the sound of Pinkie’s screams and the eruption of auto fire. “That mare’s gonna get us killed” Trixie hissed as the group lept up and ran to the sound of Pinkie’s screams.

“PINKIE!” Twilight yelled out but there was no response. The group charged recklessly through the forest until they reached a blood soaked area. Rarity puked due to the foul smell, “Jesus” Trixie gasped as she too nearly puked.

Twilight knelt beside a large pool of blood, “Fluttershy can you find the body?” Twilight asked and looked to her timid friend, who like the rest of the group was awestruck and terrified. “Fluttershy?” Twilight asked again and Fluttershy broke out of her rigor state and nodded.

Fluttershy examined the blood trail and followed it into a thicket of brush. “What the hell is this shit” Trixie gasped as she tried to hold her breakfast down. Zecora chuckled, “What’s so funny?” Trixie scowled and Zecora, who had been pulled along by Trixie, stood up.

“Heed my warning pony soldiers… the hive queen now hunts you” Zecora chuckled. Trixie grabbed the zebra and tried to lift Zecora off the ground like Twilight had done to her but couldn’t muster enough strength.

“And do you mind telling us why you were here?” Trixie snarled and Zecora simply smirked. “We armed ourselves to fight with the hive… in hopes of defeating her and eliminating a threat from Equestria… but you all ruined whatever chance we had” Zecora said with an evil like smile.

Fluttershy came back through the thicket and the group looked to her. “Flutter did you find the body?” Twilight asked and Fluttershy didn’t answer, she simply had a terrified look on her face. “I… I don’t know” Fluttershy replied and Twilight got up and followed her friend into the thicket.

They found a large concentration off blood and guts but nothing distinguishable for a body. Twilight knelt down and grabbed Pinkie’s radio and then they returned to the group, who was waiting patiently for answers.

Twilight showed them the bloody radio “We move, 20 yard spread, find Pinkie’s body” Twilight ordered.
