Run Atlus, Run!

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Atlus was walking randomly around town when he was stopped by a light brown pony, with a short, darker mane "Hey, cybermen!" Atlus turned to look at the voice "Stay away from Derpy!" Atlus was then hit by a massive bolt of electricity. He fell to the ground, his good eye blinking between red and blue.

As the pony started towards Atlus, he responded to his attacker "I am not a zzzyberman. I am an Artifizzzial Intelligenzzzzze, and you have angered me!" Atlus slowly stood back up, noticing a tool pointed at him, it was glowing green, as another bolt began its arc, Atlus made a shield of nanobots around him. When it made contact, all the nanobots glowed red. "She makes me... Happy... But not like normal happy..."

The brown pony began to flee "lies! I'm going to get her away from you!"

Atlus jumped, getting on a nearby roof, then moved quickly towards Derpy's workplace, using the roofs to avoid turns. He saw her leaving to go on her delivery runs, knowing her route, he altered his course for her first stop, Sweet Apple Acres. He arrived just before she did "Derpy, come with m-" he was hit with the green electricity.

"Atlus! Are you okey?!" She went to his side, but was stopped, when the brown pony grabbed her by the hoof, pulling her into the thick part of the apple orchards.

Atlus stood, his good eye glowing red. His bad eye activated, reveling that it was, under the outer casing, shattered. "You will not take her from me!" His voice was in three octaves at once. "I will find you!" Atlus dashed into the forest of apple trees, red vapor leaking from his damaged eye, giving it the appearance of fire. He saw the brown pony pull Derpy around a corner, following he noticed them go into a blue police box, one meant to be on earth. 'So I finally meet the Doctor, pity he must be punished.' Atlus stopped at the door to the Tartis "I will get her back!"

"No you won't!" This enraged Atlus, he reared his arm back, then slammed it into the door, only denting it. "Your a lot stronger than I thought, but your not going to break in!"

"You are angering something you have never encountered!" He hit the door harder, cracking it enough for him to see through.

"Atlus help!"

"Who's Atlus?"

"Me!" Atlus' arm punched a hole through the door, he put his other hand in the hole, ripping it open. "And now I will punish you!" He aimed his hand at the doctor, red glowing nanobots engulfed his hand. They pulsed green, then a ball of green plasma formed in his palm, just before it was released, a hand covered in burn scarring, grabbed his wrist, aiming it at the wall. The glowing orb made contact with the wall, exploding on contact, and decimating a large amount of machinery. "RED, this is not your fight, go back to your living place, now."

"Um, yea, your totally trespassing on AJ's land, and chasing two the Doctor, and Derpy into his home. You've destroyed hi front door, and were about to remove him from existence, why?"

Atlus looked RED in the eyes "He tried to take her from me."

"Wait... What? Dude, just because you like an indiv-"

"He attacked me with that." He pointed at the glowing, obviously overcharged, sonic screwdriver. "Twice, thinking I was a cybermen."

RED looked at the doctor "SC-7, how long have you known her?"

Derpy answered before Atlus could "he's known me for two weeks, and has been hanging out with me every day of that time."

"Ah... Um, Doctor, I think you should say something, like, now."

"I'm not apologizing to a cybermen!" The cloud of nanobots pulsed green "on second thought, I wish to know how it is possible for a cybermen to fire explosive plasma..." The cloud pulsed green three more times.

"I am no a cybermen!" Before Atlus could launch his attack, RED grabbed him, throwing him out. There were three explosions, all within ten feet of the Tartis.

"Where did Atlus go? RED sprinted back in "Doctor, get out of here, n-"

"You are too slow." Atlus was standing next to Derpy, his bad eye off, his good eye reverted back to blue, and he was holding the Doctor, who was smiling sheepishly, by the scruff of the neck. "I will help you repair what I have damaged. I apologize for my anger, and I have always wished to meet you in person. I have catalogued much proof of your escapades, and figured, that I was most likely never going to meet you, but here I am, holding the Doctor. I will give you your Sonic Screwdriver, but if you use it on me again, I will destroy it." Atlus set him on the ground, then handed him the tool.

"Um... Thanks... I guess..." The doctor looked to RED, who was just as confused.

"Yay! Atlus won!" Derpy tackled Atlus to the ground "Now I won!"

"Well, we bid you farewell!" Atlus and Derpy disappeared it a cloud of static.
