//------------------------------// // In need of assistance // Story: Tusk's Equestrian time // by Wither //------------------------------// <><><><><><> 3rd person Pony As the door creaked open, Fluttershy heard 3 high pitched voices yell simultaneously, "FLUTTERSHY! WE NEED YOUR HELP" "EEP! Girls you scared me. What do you need help with?" Asked Fluttershy "WewanderedOffIntoTheEverfreeForest,TheABunchOfTimberwolvesCameAndSurroundedUs,ThenThisWeirdTwoLeggedCreatureCameAndSavedUsButGotBeatenUpReallyBad,SoWeBroughtItToYouSoYouCouldHelp t!" The CMC said all in one breath "Girls slow down! So you're telling me that, You wandered off into the Everfree by yourself" "Well yeah" The CMC say guiltily "Then you get cornered by a pack of timberwolves? Why didn't you even go in there! It's dangerous there!" "Well, we wanted to explore to get our cutie marks!" Said Apple bloom "Yeah" Added Scootaloo "Well I guess. But you also said a two legged creature?" "Yeah! It just burst through the bushes, and started shooting these cool magical bullets at the timberwolves, and totally saved our lives!" Exclaimed Scootaloo "But after it saved us, and scared off the timberwolves, we noticed it got injured." Said Sweetie belle "Yeah, so we decided to take it to you, seein how you are an animal expert, so you could fix it up." Explained Apple bloom "Well okay, Where is this creature?" Asked Fluttershy "Its right behind us" Said the three fillies in anticipation "Well okay then, lets see it" Said Fluttershy in a gentle voice. So as the three fillies moved out of the way to let Fluttershy see, they noticed a cream colored blur go over their heads. "Oh my! Quick girls, help me get it inside!" "Is it that bad?" asked Sweetie belle "Yes! The wound could be infected if you say it got it from a timberwolf!" Fluttershy said as she lifted the creature into the air, and onto the couch. Fluttershy then quickly went into her back room, and came back with multiple medical items, such as gauze, band-aids, and pain killers. She quickly got to work wiping away the blood on it's left arm, put some disinfectant on the holes in it's oddly smooth hide. then proceeded to wrap the injured animal's arm with gauze to lessen the blood flow. After that was done, Fluttershy asked the three fillies that were silently watching to help her carry the creature to her bed. As Fluttershy settle's the creature down she hears Sweetie belle speak up. "Will it be all right?" "Most likely. You girls can leave now, thank you for your help." Asked Fluttershy in a sweet manner "Yeah, your welcome" The CMC said simultaneously walking downstairs and out the door. "now all I have to do is wait for you to wake up." Fluttershy said to the sleeping animal on her bed. "But first lets get a good look at you." Said Fluttershy as she got a proper examination of the creature on her bed. It had one T shaped eye, and a frown on it's face. It's hide was colored and shaded with grey squares and rectangles all across it's body with lines strewn about it's form the color of an olive. It had two curved tusk's on the bottom of it's head. On it's chest and shoulders, it had three plates of what seemed like iron? On it's hand it had five appendages similar to that of spike's claws. On it's waist it had some sort of half skirt, and also had long, somewhat pointed feet. All in all, very menacing to Fluttershy. <><><><><><> 1st person Tusk I shoot upwards, in a cold sweat under my armor which, I must say, is very uncomfortable. Clones are conditioned to not have dreams, and only focus on the war, but oddly enough, I just experienced one. But I then take notice of my surroundings. Once again, I seem to wake up in some odd place. I notice how I am in some small place, and when I look down I notice that I am in some kind of cushiony bed two sizes to small. Then notice that my arm is wrapped with gauze, blood stained. So maybe that dream wasn't so much a dream at all. And if so Then, "Where the kriff am I?" As I ponder on the thoughts circulating in my head, I start to realize how badly my arm is injured, in full force. "Aaahh, that sting's." I say as I clutch my hurt arm. But I can't focus on that right now. Instead I need to figure out who took me in and or holding me hostage. So I slowly start to get out of the small bed , but as I do, I start to hear faint noise, getting louder by the second. The noise stops outside the relatively small door, and then it opens, and the strangest creature comes through the doorway. I see that it is a cream colored quadruped with a pink maine. I hear it make a squeak, and see it retreat behind the door. I then hear a shaky and timid voice from behind the door. "H-hel-l-lo, a-a-are y-y-you a-awa-ake?. Questioned the voice. Could that have been the quadruped? Its not the most reasonable answer, and i'm sure any other man would be questioning their sanity. But i'm not taking any chances if I can get an explanation. So as I start to talk, I decide to take it gentle, seeing how the creature is probably afraid of me. "Are you talking to me?" I asked. "Um, y-yes" The quadruped said as it turned it's head around the corner of the door. "You don't need to be afraid Ok? I just want to ask some questions." "O-ok. But I t-think that maybe we should be somewhere more comfortable, if that is okay with you of course." "Yes, of course it is. But can I ask one question?" "o-of course, if you want, that is." "Yes, so, what's your name?" I ask. "I-it's Fl-Fluttershy" Fluttershy said, timidly "That's good, my name's Tusk."
