//------------------------------// // Chapter 7: Old Ursa Major was Hopping Around // Story: Tremors: Terror from down under (not real) // by DarkFang116 //------------------------------// "Everyone is graduating Bert's survival camp. You made me so proud especially since most of you don't have fingers." said Bert who was filled with pride. Then a soldier came running in saying, "Princess there's an Ursa Major heading towards Ponyville, none of our forces could beat it. It looks extremely angry." "Wait, an Ursa Major? Why is it heading towards Ponyville?" asked Twilight. "We checked out its home and saw the Ursa Minor in pieces. Some of our stallions went missing." answered another soldier. "God, they're already taking on the big beasts? Let's go and stop big mama bear, she is extremely pissed. Now I want sector one, two, and three to head to Ponyville and set up the weapons set, barricades, and seismographs. The rest of you get the big bazookas and let's head on out." commanded Bert. Everypony was moving, the three sectors chosen went to Ponyville using teleporting spells, the rest grabbing their weapons and heading outside to wait for Burt. Burt got more than bazookas, he grabbed his truck from Tremors: Aftershock. He drove out in front of them and announced, "Now follow me and stay quiet, we don't want to fatten up those Graboids. If you feel that you can be careful with explosives then come in the back and grab, not light, just grab some and wait till I say throw or even better, when I say Explosive team, which will be whoever throws the bombs." 7 ponies went in the back and grabbed some explosives, ready to throw them. "Alright, let's stop that Ursa Major." said Burt. The team headed off towards the angry Ursa Major, making as little noise as possible. The bazooka team went up on a rock boulder ledge and waited for Burt to give the signal. The Ursa was getting really close. When she was close enough the team saw Burt give the signal and blasted her to smithereens. When the dust had cleared the Ursa had only lost her left arm and was more than furious. She gave off a huge roar to signal any predators to think twice about attacking. Burt took the challenge and grabbed something from a box that was next to him, a single small bullet. Burt went and simply walked up to her, putting on a serious face. Burt was now eye to eye with the angry mother. He simply pointed the gun at her nose, making the Ursa snort. Burt took one more look before firing his trigger, and instead of hitting mama bear, he shot at the air, the gun was a flair gun. The Ursa was distracted by this and was focused on the light, meanwhile the bazooka squad shot at the Ursa again actually killing it. Burt walked back to his truck, having a weird feeling about this. He checked his trunk to see if his bomb squad was bored, but instead saw that they were gone. He turned to see that his group was actually with the bazooka squad, supporting with ammunition. He thought this was gonna be a good day after that attack, until he heard something, a Graboid howling in pain. Burt quickly grabbed a weapon and ran to where he heard the Graboid. When he reached his destination it was too late ... the great beast had metamorphosized into its next stage.
