(About and half hour before the ending events of my last chapter)
Sweetiebelle was pulled quickly through the underbrush of the Everfree forest by apple bloom who hung on to the stickybomb launcher in her mouth and still wore the wool cap and eyepatch given to her earlier that day.
"What in the hay are we doing way out here?" SweetieBelle asked. "don't you know that the Everfree forest is dangerous?"
Applebloom dropped the stickybomb launcher and answered Sweetiebelle. "Well thats why where here! to make the Everfree a whole lot less dangerous! Applebloom looked behined some bushes then turned back to sweetiebelle. "where here!" Applebloom exclamed.
Applebloom kicked at the stickybomb launcher's trigger guard repeatively firing the launcher seven times until it stopped, having no knowledge that you had to reload the weapon concluded that was all it could fire.
seven stickys landed in a tight group in front of an enourmaous cave.
"Here's the plan i'll go in and lure it out, when it steps on those, push this button" Applebloom said pointing to the red button on the launcher, then turned and ran into the cave before Sweetiebelle could say anything.
"Lure WHAT OUT!!!!" Sweetiebelle yelled, but heeded no answer from Applebloom.
so all Sweetiebelle could do was wait.., jumping at every odd noise made by various wildlife in the Everfree.
Then she heard Applebloom scream..and kept screaming..she could hear it getting closer and closer until she witnessed Applebloom sprinting out of the mouth of the cave jumping into the bush with Sweetiebelle. "what in the hay was that about?"Sweetie said confused with her shivering fellow cmc.
She didn't have to wait long as a gigantic dark violet paw came from the mouth of the cave and land on the stickys. Sweetie slamed her hoof on the red buttom as a muffled "boom!" came from under the paw. both cmc's looked at eachother and yelled in unison.
"CELESTIAS SPELL!!" as Sweetie's eyes (and Appleblooms one exposed eye) dialaded with fear.
(directly after the events of my last chapter)
Shaken by the large noise outside both Demoman and Soldier ran from their room's and entered the main room of the library with Rainbow dash, scooaloo and twilight sparkle.
"What in the name of President John f. Patton was that?" Soldier asked
twilight was near the rear window of the library with the frighted expression.
"Its..and ursa major..one of the most dangerous beasts of the Everfree forest..and it looks like Applebloom and Sweetiebelle lead it here to Ponyville." twilight said in a hopeless tone.
Soldier and Demoman when to the window and looked and saw a gigantic bear that was made of stars and violet light emerging from the treecover of the forest at the edge of ponyville. looking a bit of ahead of the ursa major
both men saw two small fillies from the party yesterday running for their lives, the ursa major caught sight of them and started in their direction.
Being used to taking charge Soldier turned to Twilight and said "Go into town and evac the civies, ive got an idea on how to take this thing down but first we have to save the kids", he turned to Demo "Demo youre with me."
now a day ago the RED Demoman wouldnt give BLU Soldier the time of day but now there where innocent lives on the line and these live didnt respawn.
"Eye" Demoman said reaching into his spytech bag and noticing his sticky launcher was gone.
"OI! wheres me sticky launcher! "my rocket launcher is gone to!" both the mercs said with anger.
both Twilight and Rainbow turned to scootaloo, she looked up with fear at the mercs "Me, Applebloom and Sweetiebelle took them cuz we wanted cutiemarks like yours!" scootaloo said cringing with fear at the savage beating she was going to get from the two mercs.
Soly sort of chuckeled, and Demo smiled at how cute he tought that was. "None of that matters now come'on i gave you jobs lets go! HUTTA!!!" Soldier yelled snapping back to his serious state of mind running out the door with Demo following and twilight coming out behind them, rainbow dash and scootaloo looked out the window nervously at the two aliens running to save the children.
It would be a lie to say the two mercs did not grow nervous as the ran towards the monster, it was about twenty five feet tall while on all fours bounding towards them and the children.
When the mercs got to the children Demo picked up Applebloom and Soldier picked up Sweetiebelle they both turned and ran back towards Ponyville..but it was no use soon the ursa was on top of them and dipped its head down toward Demo.
"Soly!" Demo yelled as soldier turned to see Demo throw Applebloom into Soldiers arms and the ursa major come down and closed his jaw on demo's left arm and the back of his flak jacket "AAAH!!!, MMEEEEEEEDIC!!!" Demo yelled out of pure instinct as he was being lifted in the ursa's jaw.
"Demo!" Soly yellled as a paw from the ursa swiped him, the powerful strike sent him flying through the air so far he landed on this back with a skid in the center of Ponyville.
Soldier realesed his grip on the two fillies who ran off to find cover, and and Got up to relise two things, the flight left him very injured and twilight was next to him trying to direct a pack of panicking ponies out of the otherside of ponyville.
"Twilight!, do you think you can lift the spell on any of my weapons we need firepower to take this thing down!" Soldier yelled, twilight turned and answered "yes but only one at a time the spell is very powerful!" Twilight said full of panic giving the current situation.
Soldiers mind raced, then he got an idea and searched through his non-stock weapons, he pulled out two and equiped them, he held out one as a purple light surrounded it.
Demo was hanging from the ursa's mouth compleatly sure he was going to die, and their was no respawn to save him. then he heared a voice that a day a go would have not caused him to smile.
"ATTAAAAACK!!!!" Soldier yelled in a indimidating voice, his feet pounding the grass very heavily and his standard rocket launcher in his hands. Soldier jumped into the air, fired his launcher and the resulting explosin catapulted him into the air, at his current condtion that normally would have killed him.
If he didnt have the gunboats equipped that is.
flying through the air he put his rocket launcher back in this inventory and pulled out his market gardener
the man.co patened technology sensed he was rocket jumping and charged the weapon with critical energy.
"TIME TO INFORM YOUR NEXT OF KIN!!" Soldier yelled as he lander on the ursa majors fore head and brought down his market gardener on the big bright star on the ursa's forehead.
Both Solys and Demomans ears exploded with the booming death rattle the ursa uddered and the critical energy arced all through the monsters body, the ursa had some sort of vuarability to in being made of light and stars, the star on its forhead shattered blowing Soldier away and the ursa opened it's mouth in shock dropping the Demo as well.
Both Demo and Soly where saved feet from the ground by twilights magic and landed softly on the grass in the valley below.
Soldier stood up and watched as the the ursa condinued to roar as light left both of it's eyes and mouth escaping to the sky above, until at lasted the ursa exploded and shattered into a million pieces of twinkling star glass that dissapeared as it fell gently to the ground.
Soldier turned to see Demo barely breathing on the grass next to him. panic when through Solys body as he checked over Demo's arm, the bite had caused bleeding damage!!!!. twilight trodded up to the two mercs.
"Oh Celestia! what magic was that! Ive never seen a ursa major being taken down with a single spell, why most wizards would saay such powerful magic would be cheating!" Twilight said with astonishment
"listen missy!!, my friend here hasen't got much time left i need you to send me back home NOW!!"
Soldier said with desperation in his voice and small tears staining the paint on the rim of his helmit.
"You're friend?" twilight asked
Soly then relised what he just said "YES MA"AM MY FREIND!!, i don't care what he did anymore i just wanted to live!"
Twilight smiled gently at the lesson Soldier had learned and opened the portal to Solys world.
Soldier ran to his base and sprinted three flights of stairs two medics rooms, he busted down the door and yelled "MEDIC!!!" he looked to see medic still sleeping soundly in his bed, then he went up to his and slapped him, it was like he was slapping solid rock, frustated he took out his shovel and smaked the medic right on the nose, a "PANG!" rang through the the room but the medic didnt even stir.
Then he remembered the stop time Spell twilight and Celestia put on his world, "Right!" Soldier thought as he rummaged through medics equipment, grabbing a few medicpacks, using them on himself, then slung a pack on his back and grabbed the gun that went with it and ran down the stairs, out of the base and into the shed dissapearing in a flash of light.
