A Mod Gone Wrong.
3. Porkchops on parade
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAfter despawning the pig beneath his bench, and spawning one with a carrot on a stick attached Sketch spent over four hours spawning nothing but pigs in the park, and in the process a few piglets were born. A few had gotten over the fence and escaped into the city, oh well, they are just starting early.
Now this, this is an army!
Sketch thought to himself, standing atop the pig with a carrot on a stick attached to it.
Now for the fun to begin...
Sketch hopped on the tops of the pigs like they were stepping stones as he made his way to the back of the park, behind the mob of pigs. He slapped a pig on its butt, startling it, and in turn set the rest off as they fled towards the city at a very rushed pace. He ran over the pigs and hoped back to his pig, dangling the carrot in front of its face.
Yes my piggies, flood the city.
Back in the dining hall everyone had gathered to see what commotion was, even Princess Celestia came running when she heard the shattered glass hitting the floor.
“How in Equestria did a pig fly through the window, hit the wall, and disappear?!”
One of the guards shouted, poking the pork chops on the ground with his shortsword.
“Rick, is it him?”
Celestia asked.
“I can’t tell, but this does seem like he is toying with us, take a look.” Rick said while gesturing the window he was looking out of.
“Sister! The garden has been overtaken by square pigs!”
A large deep blue winged unicorn ran in, her mane like the night sky with several stars twinkling.
“Where are they coming from?”
Celestia asked no one in particular.
“Look, over there!”
He pointed out the window, over the hill outside of the town a large pink mass began to pour into the city like an endless waterfall. Celestia’s jaw drops.
“How are there that many pigs? How does that thing do that?”
“He has an infinite supply of the creatures from where we are from, but I can’t remember how h-Duck!”
They all heeded his warning and ducked, and another pig was sent flying through the window, this time smacking Rick in the face, sending him flying back into the wall . The pig once again blinks red and disappears, leave one raw porkchop on his chest plate.
Rick slowly pushed himself onto his feet.
“Yeah... He’s messing with us.”
He said, standing up as the pork chop slide down his chest plate before it plopped on the floor.
“How do we stop this invasion?”
“I would say kill them off, but even I know there is too much... Perhaps we can lead them away from the city.”
“Rally the guards, stop them from getting in the palace.”
Celestia orders calmly, the closest guard saluted her and galloped out.
“Sister, why are these pigs square and what is that?”
The blue winged unicorn asked.
“He is a hero that was transported here while he was chasing down a creature, the same creature leading the...”
Celestia put her left fore hoof to her face and audibly sighed.
“Leading the army of pigs.”
“And to answer the square part, that is what most things are like where I am from...”
“No time for cultural sharing, we have to get rid of these pigs, they are flooding the streets!”
Celestia motioned the blue one and Rick over to the window, they looked down unto the streets, pigs filled the streets, ponies dragged apart in a literal sea of pigs, foals being separated from their parents as they sink into the stampede of swine. To their right they heard the sound of wood snapping as they reached the market.
“Luna, assemble the night guard, we need all the help we can ge-...”
Celestia stops mid sentence as in the middle of the parade of pork there sat the creature (Sketch) atop one of the pigs on a saddle dangling a carrot in front of it’s face.
“But... Why pigs?”
Luna asked, Celestia just stared.
“They seem to be controlled slightly, he is using the carrot to lead them a bit.”
Just as Rick said this the creature took notice of the figures in the castle and just stared in their general direction until they lost sight of each other as he rounds the corner of a building.
“Oh no...”
Celestia looked mildly worried as she said this.
“What seems to be the problem?”
“They’re headed for the front entrance.”
“Then I guess I am headed there as well.”
Rick said while grabbing the handle of his sword, he unsheathed it and stormed out of the room heading down the hall, hoofsteps could be heard behind him as someone chased after him.
“Stop, you’re going the wrong way, that leads to the gardens, the pigs already have that.”
The stallion said, standing behind him, Rick promptly turned about face and followed the stallion to the front gates.
“From the road they are taking it will take them twenty minutes to reach the castle, load the catapults, man the castle walls, put up barricades! Whatever you do don’t let that monster in!”
A charcoal black stallion in golden armor turned to face him.
“Where will you be assisting the troops hero?”
“Perhaps the barricades, but I have a question, what is with the hero title?”
“You said you were chasing that monster through a portal to defeat it right? Don’t heroes defeat monsters?”
“Though heroes defeat monsters, heroes earn that title from what they accomplish. I don’t remember much before this but I don’t think I deserve that title.”
“Okay then... help the men build sandbag barricades from the front gate to the front door, the more the better.”
The stallion pointed Rick towards a large pile of sandbags, various other guards were already constructing them, regular ponies, pegasi, and unicorns, each wearing set of golden armor and carry a short sword on their side in a metal sheath.
“I’ll help the front door, if they reach it, if enough is there it could hinder the mass.”
For the next fifteen minutes Rick helped pile sandbags in a meter high wall at the bottom of the stairs as a last barricade to prevent the army of pigs entry into the castle. However as soon as the wall reached two thirds of a meter high a guard shouted.
“Enemy sighted!”
“How many?”
Rick called out.
“One! I-It has no face!”
“What about the pigs?”
“They are...just standing there, behind him... W-Wait, they’re all gone!”
“What’s he planning?”
“I don’t kn-Ah!”
Suddenly a pig smacks one of the guards in the face, knocking him off the wall and into a bush at the base, the pig flashes red and disappears in a poof of smoke, this time leaving nothing in its place.
“How is he strong enough to throw pigs?!”
“We don’t know!? You chased him here!”
The guard turned back to where the creature was, but it was gone...
“I-It’s gone...”
All the other guards who had been watching it were just as baffled as all that remained of it was a small puff of smoke.
“It’s gone?”
“Keep your eyes peeled! It has to be somewhere! Don’t let your guard down!”
The guards began frantically looking for the monster with no success.
“Where could he have gone?”
Rick pondered as he readied his sword, unbeknownst to him the creature was close by, very close by...
