Zak rides on the back of Grunt as he runs through the forest knocking away limbs and bursting through bushes like nothing. The sound of Jenny's jet feet start to fade out as she flies towards the giant plume of smoke just a head of them. It takes them a while, but they manage to get there to find a giant crater that looks to big to be made by any normal meteorite. Jenny and a few other creatures, all from different shows, fly above as well. Even a few flying type Pokémon can be seen. Zak can see other people like himself standing around this giant hole waiting to see what it is as well as asking others what this could mean.
Grunt keeps his axe up as a familiar face walks up to him.
"Zak?" The butter Pegasus asks with both happiness and sadness in her voice.
"Fluttershy!" Zak exclaims while hopping off of Grunt's back who's still watching the hole with determination.
Upon realizing who's here, Grunt walks over and picks up the dirtied and scared pony and quickly brings her close to his chest. He strokes her mane which seems to calm her down. To the right of Fluttershy, or at least where she did stand, stands Pinkie and Rarity both looking just as bad as Fluttershy. Yet the others aren't here with them. Though he's pretty sure the girls are coming towards this explosion anyway. Especially Twilight. Always so curious.
"What happened to you guys?" Zak asks as he starts helping Rarity get the branches and twigs out of her mane.
"Oh it was awful! Monsters tried to kill us! But people came and saved us when we needed it the most." Fluttershy exclaims from Grunt's embrace.
"I... I see... I'm sorry for bringing you guys out here. I really thought everything was going to be nicer... but..." Zak turns around and walks to the edge of the burned forest, "I guess this place is more dangerous than our home..."
Zak stares down into the dust filled center. Nothing seems to be out of the ordinary... Though... it almost looks like something is...
"Zak... everything will be okay. We just have to be more careful. Though I do agree with the idea of getting out of this forest... All of this dirt is positively no healthy." Rarity comments while knocking some twigs out of her disheveled mane.
"Yeah... I guess that would be for the-" HIs words are cut off by screaming and the sick sounds of flesh, organs, and bones being crushed and ripped apart. A giant explosion soon follows after it.
Zak looks towards the sound to see the entire side of a forest blown apart by something invisible. People and characters start backing away from the crater fear evident in their eyes. That includes Grunt and his entire crew as well. What's ever down there, it's not happy with being surrounded.
"Maybe... Maybe we should leave..." Fluttershy eeps out her eyes as big as saucers.
"What about Twilight? Shouldn't we look for everyone first before leaving!?" Pinkie asks bouncing nervously as her tail shakes. An easy sign that something is a foot.
"You're right. As usual Pinkie... We can't leave our friends behind..." Zak says looking back to the wide crater, "Jenny! We're leaving!"
It takes her awhile, but Jenny lands with the Power Puff Girls right behind her. The rest of the air characters have left as well. Some faster than others.
"Zak... The girls said that they were flying when something big came flying by them. It nearly crushed them, but they go lucky." Jenny says as the small girls hug onto her legs.
They're practically scared. Zak doesn't blame them either. They're practically surrounded by danger right now. People who are full of blood lust, people who are crazy, and characters that are even crazier. Worst yet, something just landed in the forest and it wiped out a whole group with an invisible force.
"J-J-Jenny..." Fluttershy stammers out as she points her hoof.
Zak looks beyond Jenny to see some weird dripping creature. It's like nothing they've ever seen before. Tentacles rise out of its back and swifter than anything they've seen, Jenny is torn apart and thrown to the side. Leaving the girls holding on to disconnected legs.
Zak screams out as the creatures lurches out at him. An axe comes from his side and slams into the beast making it stop. The beast looks up at Grunt who's no longer holding Fluttershy. Fluttershy has taken to the air and is leading the others away despite how scared she is.
Grunt leans down and glares into the monster's eyes. The monster growl and Grunt growls right back. Zak moves away and grabs the girls who are standing their petrified holding on to those same legs. He makes a b line for Fluttershy and the others who are running in a different direction.
Zak has tears running down his eyes as he hold on to the girls and run. Twilight and them will have to wait. Right now, something horrible is happening. He can hear it. Not Grunt, but others dying around him from unseen creatures. Or worse yet...
Each other.
Zak looks up to see Fluttershy flying just at the canopy of the trees. He has never known her to be able to get anything down under pressure. Than again, she has gotten a lot of influence from Grunt over the years...
"God damn it Grunt..." Zak mutters out as he runs behind the ponies, "Why?"
Somewhere deeper in the forest, Twilight looks up at the giant dust cloud rising from the forest. At the same time Rainbow and Applejack are doing the same thing. The dust bring about screams soon after and a dreadful feeling through them all.
