//------------------------------// // Ch.3: The Ninja and the Clown! // Story: Baaad Future // by trahzo //------------------------------// All 3 had made it to Town Square where the humanly shaped and sized avian waiting. "Now!" Said Spike. Applejack then grabbed Spike and tossed him into the air, and then Arizona lasso'd Spike by the waist and then threw him at Gotcha! "I gotcha!" Spike said as his fist struck him! Gotcha was falling but then turned into leaves as his beak touched the ground! "He disappeared!" Said Arizona. "Yeah, and you better watch out for our tag team strategy!" Said a feminine and raspy voice. All 3 turned to see a very angry female hyena in a clown costume. "Uh..." "I am the alpha predator of the hyenas! You can call me Bitter Clown!" She greeted before blowing a spit wad at the 3 that Applejack avoided. "Alright, so we're dealing with the alpha predator and the gener..." Spike then blocked a kunai that almost hit Arizona in the head! "What the?" That's when Gotcha tried to strike with his bow staff! Applejack saw him, and then threw an apple! Gotcha saw that and caught the apple, but that gave Arizona enough time to ram him in the gut! Spike then followed up with a bite to the shoulder! "Grah! You little bastard!" Spike held on and didn't let go. Gotcha then pulled him off and held him by the spine! He then punched him away! "Spike, you fine? Oof, lookie at that shiner..." That's when Arizona was smacked hard by a rubber chicken! "Cry, little girl!" "Why should I?" "Because I am a clown who wants to hear other's misery!" Said Bitter Clown, whom was then struck by a barrel! Spike & Arizona then began laughing. "That's what sad clowns are supposed to do, make us laugh at your misery!" Said Spike. "Ha...ha...." That's when Bitter Clown started getting angry! "...ha...ha..." "What the?" "You think I'm gonna take that lying down? Ha..ha...no-one laughs at me....I AM THE ONE WHO LAUGHS AT YOU!!!" Then Bitter Clown pulled out a few balloons, and made balloon animals out of them! "ATTACK!!!" Then the balloon animals came at them! "Watch out, pop those and you'll unleash a deadly gas!" "That's a rouse!" Spike replied. "And it looks like you don't have enough to cover that horror movie face!" Spike joked. "(Dammit, stop making me laugh.)" "Actually it's true!" Said Gotcha's disembodied voice! He then threw a shuriken at a balloon animal! After it popped, a gas ignited and exploded! "This gas explodes when coming into contact with oxygen!" She said! Then the Balloon animals formed a wall! "This way!" Said Arizona as Spike got on her back and they began running as General Gotcha threw needles that didn't just pop the balloons but flew through trying to stick them! "Don't worry younguns, I see where's shooting from!" Applejack saw a spittoon grabbed it and threw it at Gotcha who then flew out of the way! Gotcha then pulled out a Kusarigama (Chain sickle and threw it at Aj, but AJ dodged and it stuck itself to a barrel! Applejack then ran up the chain and kicked him square in the beak! "Argh!" Then Gotcha flew into the air and began making hand sign! "Burakkufezā konran!" Then he began rapid fire scatter shooting his own feathers! The Feathers blew up the balloons and balloon animals that Bitter Clown threw out! All 3 took cover! The chaos continued for 10 more minutes until Gotcha fell to the floor! "Uh-oh, I over did it, and now I'm a nude bird!" "Well, that's bad timing because I've ran out of balloons!" That's when Spike shot 2 fireballs! Gotcha pulled out a sword and sliced the one coming at him in half and then Bitter Clown threw her tiny car which collided the fireball, making it explode! Then out of the smoke came a rope that grabbed Bitter Clown by the neck! Applejack twirled her around before jerking back and tightening the rope, choking the life out of the Hyena alpha predator! "Ack!" "Aaah! The Alpha is dead!" shouted a hyena in fear! "Ruuuuuun!" said another hyena! "Wait, the fight aint over until the general dies!" said a troop. "Where are you guys going?" Then Arizona threw her rope which Gotcha then cut to pieces! AJ tossed the female Hyena's lifeless corpse at Gotcha, but he then sliced it in 2 and used a smoke bomb! He was about to cut Applejack but Spike & Arizona tackled him and he fell onto a pile of dynamite and gun powder! Spike then shot another fireball at Gotcha! "No!" The chemical reaction then happened, and blew General Gotcha up! "The general is dead! Back to Base!" They all retreated. The Cattlekind then rejoiced as they shouted to the Heavens: Soooouie! Then a key fell and Arizona got it! "Yes! I got's myself a key! And it's all because of you Ms.Applejack, and especially my cute dance partner." "W-well, the pleasure's all..." Then Spike was kissed on the cheek. "..." Spike was speechless. Then everyone regrouped. "Thanks for saving us from the hyenas everyone." "Don't thank us just yet! We still gotta get the keys and then lock the door to The Hold again!" Said Oleander. "Well, on the bright side, the train station might be destroyed, but not the train!" Said Texas. That's when the key began glowing, showing their next location. "Sounds like we're heading to my home next, hmm yes!" said Velvet reindeer. "Well alrighty then! Idaho, New Mexico, full steam ahead to the Tundra for these 13 pronto!" Then after they all were loaded into the train, Arizona put her foreleg around Spike. Meanwhile... "Goddammit! You said I'd get myself an army, and I don't see any predators listening to me!" complained Xutaga. "You'll get your army, trust me!" said Tehen Vioz. "I saw it in the future where you have an army and then you and that army begin your takeover somewhere..." "Where exactly." "I don't know where, my memory is fuzzy on the details, but you will." "Yeah, meanwhile all of Cattlekind have taken back the Prairie!" "My plan will work out for both us, I assure you it will!" "Fine! Just expect me to flee after you guys lose!" Xutaga told him before leaving the room. "So, these fools are heading to the Tundra now huh? How's our freeze tech going?" "Tested and ready to go!" replied Shadow Belle. "Good, arm the troops and predators, let's show the Deerfolk of Rein what we're made of!"
