Skirmish in the Everfree

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

The eight backed up as the Kronosians and the manticores headed towards them.  Finn drew out his sword.  “Them again,” said Jake.  The ponies shook with fear at seeing the dreaded creatures again.  As the creatures cornered the eight, the horse Kronosian neighed and the Kronosians and manticore attacked.  Finn instantly sprang into battle and sliced through a Kronosian warrior.  Jake punched aside several Kronosian warriors and the Kronosian horse just jumped side and fired a blast at Jake.  “Yaaaaah!” shouted Finn as he ran to attack the Kronosian horse but it simply kicked Finn into a tree.  After hitting the tree, Lorina’s disk rolled out and Twilight was able to get it before any of the Kronosians destroyed it.  “What is that thing?” asked Twilight.  “That is a mechbeast,” said Lorina, “They can be based off any form and some can be incredibly dangerous and I’ve also found out that it is mind controlling the two animals that are attacking us along with it,” she said.  “How do we stop it?” asked Twilight as it fired more blasts.  “Find its weak spot,” she said.  “But how in this time?” asked Twilight distraughtly.  “Think of a strategy,” said Lorina.  Just at the moment, the horse mechbeast reared up and charged toward them but Twilight dodged just in time along with Lorina.  The horse mechbeast looked with annoyance and then signaled the mind controlled manticores to attack.  Rainbow Dash pummeled one of them in the face but it scratched her in return.  She fell to the ground in pain helplessly, while it approached.  Fluttershy ran out to the beast.  “Fluttershy! What are you doing?” shouted Applejack.  “I know what I’m doing,” said Fluttershy.  She ran up to it and said, “Don’t you remember when I helped you?” The manticore was about to strike her again when some of its memories flashed back to it and continued to resist it until it became clear and finally remembered that Fluttershy was the pony that removed the thorn in its leg.  Then the manticore’s red glow in its eyes disappeared and it licked Fluttershy.  The horse mechbeast looked surprised at it and charged toward her only for a yellow hand to block it which it crashed into.  “Jake, you’re still conscious,” asked Twilight.  “Yes and like I said before, I have faced many monsters before,” he said before he punched away the horse mechbeast.  The horse mechbeast staggered up and commanded the remaining Kronosian warriors to attack.  Twilight and Rarity were able to form a magic shield protecting all eight of the ponies, human, dog, and Lorina.  Then, Finn jumped out at the Kronosians and cut down several of them while Jake hit some aside.  Rarity and Twilight levitated and threw rocks very hard through the core of the Kronosian warriors, destroying them.  While Jake kept on punching Kronosians, Finn raced directly toward the horse mechbeast but it dodged and Finn hit the ground.  It reared up and charged at Finn but he jumped out of the way and hit a rock instead causing an explosion.  When the explosion cleared, all of them saw a damaged structure with several electric flashes above it come out.  It was putting the last of its energy into a blast but before it could fire, a rock flew right into its mouth pushing the blast inside and destroying it for could.  All turned to see that Fluttershy was the one who threw the rock.  “Thanks,” said Finn to her.  She nodded.  “Look,” said Twilight.  All eight of them ran to look at what happened and saw the remains of the Kronosians disintegrate into nothing.  “This is weird,” said Rainbow Dash.  “Lorina, can you explain what is happening?” asked Finn.  Lorina appeared on the disk and said, “Whenever a Kronosian is destroyed, they disintegrate into nothing and it is usually to keep enemies from reverse engineering or using the remains as weapons,” “Sounds effective if they wanted it,” said Finn.  “Indeed,” said Lorina.  “I think that maybe we should rest for now,” said Finn, “after all, it is night.”  The ponies all agreed and they left the Everfree back to Ponyville, not noticing a Kronosian flyer that had recorded the whole thing.

Planet Horribus,

Xanazor looked with anger at the turn of events and thought to himself that he should have sent a stronger mechbeast instead.  But still, it was a relief that although it failed, it delayed their search.  Now, they would be vulnerable and then he decided that he would send a stronger mechbeast this time.
