//------------------------------// // Night 2: Party Crashers // Story: Derpy's Family reunion // by thewriter133 //------------------------------// It took three hours for Blackmane to heal the injuries of the small group. He spent the longest on Derpy just to make sure her wing healed fine. The sun was setting when they all left. They had agreed to go to the party in pseudo fear of Blackmane. It didn't take long for them to reach the Party field. Pinkie was ecstatic. She had gotten help from the Cutie Mark Crusaders in decorating the party. She had also stopped by Berry Punch’s vineyard. It was here that she picked up a special adults only drink. Derpy sat at the head table with Blackmane and Dinky. She was nervous to see if anypony would show up. She saw Twilight walk into the brightly lit party tent. She then saw a very disgruntled Rainbow Dash being Dragged by Applejack and followed by Macintosh. She was ecstatic that Dash had made it. Pinkie was looking over the field and sighed only three of her friends came then an eloquent voice spoke up “Pinkie dear, I must really congratulate you on this decor. It is simply exquisite.” Pinkie turned to see Rarity and Fluttershy she squealed with joy and pushed them inside. Then the party got really rowdy when Vinyl came with her equipment and three sturdy stallions to help her set it up. Two of these stallions were Sturdy Running and Shadow Runner. The third was a small black colt who was doing the wiring. when they were done Vinyl started the music. Over at the adult beverage table hovered Berry Punch and her best mare friend Colgate. both drinking heavilly. Lyra, Octavia, and Bonbon were easting party sandwiches and Lyra was explaning to Octavia why her roomie had come home in bandages. This strangely did not seem to phase the mare. She was wistfully staring at Vinyl spin the records. Pinkie was giddy and dancing with anypony who wanted to. She saw Fluttershy snuggle up to Big Macintosh. She smirked and suddenly stopped when she saw the familiar faces from earlier. She stopped dancing and slowly backed away to protect Derpy. She noticed that Blackmane was nowhere to be seen. ------------------------------------------------- Rainbow Dash saw the eight males two were pegasi, like herself. Three were Earth ponies and two were gryphons. The last was a grey unicorn and he seemed to be the leader. They advanced into the tent. The two gryphons sauntered over to the table with Lyra, Octavia, and Bonbon. they had a sinister look in their eyes. One touched Octavia inappropriately earning him a slap. The other gryphon grabbed the fairly weak Octavia and lifted her up grinning stupidly. The other gryphon advanced on Lyra but he was shoved out of the way by a rainbow blur. he stumbled into an unoccupied table and got all tangled in the chairs and splintered wood. The other turned hearing a cocky voice saying “and I thought this was going to be a boring party!” The three earth ponies had decided to pick a fight with the wrong farm stallion and one was now on the ground nursing a broken jaw. The other two were squaring off against the brothers Shadow Runner and Sturdy Running. Shadow grabbed hold of one of the assailants with his hooves and twisted his arm breaking it as the stallion hit the ground. The other earth pony helped his friend up and they backed away. They backed into Applejack who bucked them to the ground. That was when she was lifted in the air by the unicorn who threw her into Vinyl's turntable. The unicorn had helped his remaining comrade up. He turned and stared intently at Derpy. He spoke in a menacing voice "We will keep hunting you until we finish you off. But first I'm going to kill your friends." With that he began using his magic to crush the three mares in his magical grip. He saw his cronies back up and begin fleeing. He was beginning to feel terror himself. A magical cut appeared on his flank causing him to drop his victims. The fear overran his common sense and he bolted along with his cronies toward the Everfree forest. They ran hearing howling as they were all soon set upon by several Timberwolves. The four flyers were soon nothing but a meal. As the howling subsided the three earth ponies fell off a steep cliff with jagged rocks at the base of it. Only the unicorn remained. He looked around and saw he was near a hut. He walked in and saw a Zebra mare near a cauldron speaking in some nonsense rhyme. He snuck up carefully and was about to push her into her cauldron. His hooves were stopped by an intense red magic. Blackmane stood there with his eye patch off. His eye glowed red with pure energy. He spoke “If you value your life you will leave and never come back.” the unicorn struggled and sneered. He then spoke “I thought you looked familiar. Did you know that when I abused that filly she screamed for you. I enjoyed it soo much.” Blackmane remained stoic but the magic was slowly wrapping around the unicorn’s neck. One swift snap caused him to go limp. The zebra looked at the body. She then looked up to see Blackmane. She spoke “What’s this before me I see, but Baron Blackmane as handsome as can be.” “Hello, Zecora my dear.” Blackmane smiled as he spoke. “We meet again. I didn't know you lived this close to my daughter.” Zecora looked quizzically at him saying “I knew not you had a daughter got.” “Yes well I really must be going. But first this body must go.” “Fear not friend for poison will be the mend.” With that she poured a vial of liquid on the dead stallion. The liquid quickly dissolved the corpse leaving behind only the smell of cinnamon. ----------------------- Rainbow Dash was helping her friends clean up the mess when she noticed Derpy sniffling and little Dinky was trying to help her. There was a pink unicorn mare holding Derpy. Pinkie was sitting forlorn, her party ruined. As Dash walked over to comfort Pinkie she heard Derpy say “Sparkler, dear, could you bring Dinky home. I need to say goodby to my friends.” Sparkler gasped shaking her head saying “No! Mom, we can’t move again. Not so soon.” “You won't have to move at all, my daughter.” They all looked up to see Blackmane standing there with some blood on his pelt. He smiled a dark smile, with hints of gentleness, saying “The assassins from Stalliongrad have been........taken care of. Though one did tell me something interesting.” ----------------------------------- Luna of the moon descended in her chariot to see her daughter. She had seen the Timberwolves devour some pegasi and gryphons. She also swore she had seen three earth ponies jump to their deaths. The smell of cinnamon was what finally prompted her stop by her daughter’s home. She landed in the party field and walked out of the carriage. She saw her daughter, safely in the hooves of her granddaughter, she smiled and glided over. She whispered in the pink unicorn’s ear “I think, my dear Sparkler, you should take your sister home and bring the Crusaders with you. Your mother has something she needs to get off her chest.” Sparkler smiled and rounded up the CMC and Dinky saying “come with me, my little ponies we will have a sleepover. Ok?” The small fillies followed her out along with the small tech pony and his older brothers. Blackmane walked over to Luna and she nuzzled him. She placed a wing over Derpy smiling saying “I think your friends will want to know.” Twilight spoke “Derpy... you have a small filly as a daughter but I hardly ever see a male in your life. Who is the father of Dinky?” Dash looked up as pinky rushed Twilight yelling “how can you be so insensitive to Derpy’s secrets.” Dash tried to grab Pinkie but failed and watched as Pinkie struck Twilight in the face. Twilight reeled and Derpy spoke “calm down Pinkie It’s ok my friends deserve to know.” Twilight rubbed her nose and looked at the stage. Vinyl was being taken to the hospital by Octavia due to her broken leg from when a speaker fell on her. Derpy looked around and sighed “I was raped before I arrived at Ponyville. There I said it now you can shun me.” Pinkie looked mournfully at Luna who stepped away. Pinkie grabbed Derpy saying “No one’s gonna shun you muffin.” Applejack went over to the two saying “Yeah sugarcube! We don't care about that.” “Dahling, really, who would dare to do something so horrible to one such as you.” Rarity had spoken tactfully. Dash stood slack jawed. She hadn’t realized she was not the only one who had such a violent act done to her. She tried to steady herself as Derpy continued speaking. ----------------------------------------------------------- It was a while back. I was just about to go from filly to mare when I was kidnapped by a unicorn who wanted money out of my adopted parents. He raped me on video and sent it to them. My adopted mother was furious. Both she and my father hunted the unicorn down but when they found us he tried to kill me. Mother took the deathblow and shoved me out of the way with her dying strength. She used her horn to break my bindings and she died begging me to take care of my little sister. My father told me to run and get out of town with his daughter. So I ran. And picked up my little sister Sparkler. And I ran and ran hiding anywhere I could. But whenever the vicious stallion and his cronies found me they would kill someone near to me. I gave birth with help from Zecora and she suggested to hide in Cloudsdale for a while. So I did. When I got fired from my mail mare job up there I came here. I had wanted to abort the child but when I saw Sparkler’s face light up whenever I would talk about the unborn foal inside me I couldn't bear to. I decided to adopt my little sister as my own and she, in gratitude, helped me raise Dinky. Carrot Top helped whenever she could but it was as minimal as she could be so as not to reveal my hiding place to my hunters. So now you know why I have two daughters. Now whenever I look on Dinky I am glad I gave birth to her. She is the most adorable and happy filly I know. And I hope she will grow to be strong like my adoptive parents.
