I officially hate Tyler right now. Kissing Vinyl wasn't bad, that's for sure, but did he really have to push me? Anyway, after Vinyl was done kissing me, we had some lunch and mainly just talked. Eventually, she had to get back to work, so she went back to her booth and I left the club. About five minutes later I burst through the door to Twilight's house.
"Not cool," I said, pointing at Tyler.
"Oh come on, you know you liked it," he replied (I wanted to smack him so badly). I could see Pandora was reading and Dawn Whistle was napping (why am I not surprised?). Otherwise, the house was empty. There was no sign of Peter, Matthew, or Twilight.
"Where is everybody?" I asked.
"Twilight went to Canterlot, Peter is on a date with Final Hour, and Matthew is on a date with Octavia." My mind kind of went 'wtf?' when he said Peter was dating Final Hour, but with all that's happened recently, I wasn't really easy to surprise any more. I ended up just sighing and pulling out my notepad. I was just about to start drawing when Zephyr came in.
"What the fuck do you want?" Tyler asked.
"I was going to take Dawn on another date," he replied, blushing a little bit. Dawn Whistle stirred at her name and woke up.
"Oh hey Zephy," she said happily (Zephy... heheheHAHAHA!)
"Hey Dawn, you want to go to the bar again?"
"Sure!" They walked out, and Tyler looked at me with a grin and a raised eyebrow.
"Let me guess, you want to spy on them," I said with another sigh.
"Maybe."
"Fine, but I'm telling them it was your idea if we get caught." We slipped out and followed them from the air, flying from cloud to cloud so they wouldn't see us. We saw a few Royal Guards walking around town, so I assumed that Storm Shadow had told his captain. Anyway, back to spying. We followed them for a good twenty minutes (Freaking Dawn had to stop and smell every fucking flower). When they finally got to the bar, I was getting bored and annoyed. We entered and sat where we could still see them, but it would be difficult for them to identify us. The first thing I noticed was that Dawn Whistle drank, a lot. She went through five rounds in the time it took Tyler to go through two. By the time she was done, her eyes were half-lidded and I could hear her slurring voice. Zephyr didn't seem to care, though he did drink much less than her.
"I'm getting out of here before they head for the bathroom together or something," I said, getting out of my seat and walking outside. I expected it to be the same as before we walked in, but instead I saw a crater in the ground and a line of guards near the front of town (Apparently I had not heard anything because of the loud ass music in the club.). My thoughts immediately went to Arcane. He must have attacked early because he thought we would only warn the guard when we got back to town. He didn't know that we had already warned Storm Shadow before he met us.
"Well fuck," Tyler said, apparently having followed me out. "So what are we going to do? Kick some ass?"
"I kind of doubt that. I created Arcane, so I know how powerful he is. The most we would be able to do is stall him."
"Stalling is what I do best! Especially with my new fourth-wall breaking abilities." I facehoofed so hard when he said that. Of course he would know how to break the fourth-wall. Tyler immediately teleported, appearing behind a couple of Arcane's guards. He smiled at them before smashing their heads together, knocking them unconscious. He repeated the process a few more times, though occasionally he annoyed the guards by walking on their heads or dodging their attacks. Personally, I was impressed. Tyler was a good fighter, having learned of bit of martial arts, but I've never really seen him use it. One guard who almost managed to barbeque Tyler with a fireball lost a few teeth in return. After seeing him take out around twenty guards single handedly (err hoofedly?), I stopped waiting on the side lines and went in too. It wasn't as easy as Tyler made it look, and I almost got electrocuted, frozen, and burned to death. I think I even spotted Storm Shadow a couple times, knocking a few heads together and actually giving one guard a broken foreleg. I thought we were actually going to win, at least until Arcane showed up anyway.
A/N: Frankly, Tyler and I can't think of anything else to continue the story, so chapter 18 will be the last. I hope you have all enjoyed this fic, and that you will think about reading our stories in the future.
