At the Speed of Spit
While Seclorum and Arcshod continued filing distressed ponies on board the Tarkington, Josho rushed towards the platform's edge, armed with his shotgun. He stared through the rainwater with twitching eyes, spotting a dense field of undead creatures swooping down from a higher elevation.
Bellesmith lingered near the airship's entrance along with Elma. "Is it a large group of them?!"
"'Large' doesn't even begin to describe it," Josho said with an inward snarl. He squatted behind an overturned chunk of debris and aimed his shotgun high. "I think I can take a good number of them out, but the wave's too thick. They'll overrun me in seconds."
"Then we'll drag Prowse out!" Seclorum exclaimed. "His weapon can level out a whole column of them! Easily!"
"Just tell Props to stick to the engine! More than anything, we gotta get off this rock in order to—"
"Blessed Spark!" Belle shrieked. "Josho, look!"
"Huh?! I'm looking already!"
"No no no!" Belle seethed, pointing towards the other edge of the temple. "Three o'clock! Down low!"
Josho swiveled to look. He did a double-take. Another wave of undead pegasi were zooming in from a completely different altitude. "Ledo covered in chocolate..."
"It's even bigger than the other group!" Belle exclaimed.
"Don't look now," Seclorum grumbled, glancing towards the rear of the temple. Two small pockets of pegasi flew in from rain-soaked clouds. "But they've got the drop on us from behind too."
"Xon..." Arcshod exhaled.
"We... we can still do this," Josho stammered, fidgeting in place. "Arcshod..." He spun with a frown. "Arcshod, ya tattooed elephant! Get your Queen out! Between her and Prowse—"
"It's too late!" Belle winced, clinging hard to Elma as she cowered against the Tarkington's hull. "They're here!"
Seclorum whipped out his crossbow—only to blink stupidly at the complete lack of crossbolts. "...well, it was a good run."
"Dammit..." Josho popped out from hiding, spinning about in a literal circle as he trained his shotgun from one group to another. "Dammit, it can't end like this! We were almost free!"
The shrieking cries of the winged ponies broke through the thunder as they descended on the temple from all sides.
Belle closed her eyes, gnashing her teeth. "I'll love you always, Pilate—"
With a banshee wail, the first wave of pegasi soared in... only to dissolve to a pulp from a bright flash of mana.
Josho's eyes twitched. Suddenly, from the left, a massive vessel emerged through the rain clouds on rumbling engines. Lightning flashed, illuminating the majestic hull of the Noble Jury as it wedged itself between the temple and the incoming waves of undead. The ship twirled to a stop like a sled grinding against gray snow. Standing on the open rainswept deck was Floydien, and he was in the process of unleashing wave after wave of furious mana from his antlers.
"Spit out your own organs, you flying boomer burps!" the elk howled, eliminating half-a-dozen creatures in a single discharge. "Unbirth your cruddy selves to ash ash!"
Josho ducked as an errant beam of energy branched off the latest volley and missed his horn by a hair. "Dammit, Floydien, you beautiful beautiful manure machine!"
"Floydien?!" Seclorum sputtered as he and Arcshod squatted to the side. "What in the Hell is that thing?!"
"Beastly sex with a red nose! That's what!" Josho said with a wicked sneer. He heard shrieks from behind, spun about, and aimed his shotgun at a rushing wave of undead.
A metal steam pipe flew down from the sky and impacted the skulls of two pegasi.
Josho gasped, looking up as a lavender shape leapt from the Noble Jury's deck. Eagle Eye plunged through the rain, his silhouette showing in a streak of lightning. "Yaaaaaaaugh!" He came down, crushing his way through another pegasus with a square metal crate lid for a shield. Immediately hopping up, he spun and uppercutted another creature with a levitating pipe-swing, shattering the attack in seconds.
"Eagle Eye!" Josho growled out the side of his muzzle. He spun and fired into a wave of pegasi with his shotgun while Floydien single-hoofedly covered the other side. "You're alive! I could kiss you!"
"You're even fatter when you lie," Eagle hissed before deflecting the charge of another monster. "Hrnnnngh—Raugh!" He knocked the creature back.
Josho exploded its head all over the temple's edge and stood—heaving—by Eagle's side as they faced the next wave. "Seriously, seeing you alive just gave me a second wind."
"Good..." Eagle shook the rain out of his soaked mane and eyed the vulture-circles of enemies. "Then don't break it."
"If you're down here and Floydien's doing the fireworks show on the top deck..." Josho glanced up at the rain-slick windshield of the hovering ship. "...then who in the heck is piloting the thing?"
"Zaid."
"Zaid?!" Josho gnashed his teeth. "Great Ledo, it is the apocalypse."
"Somepony you know, old friend?" Seclorum shouted.
"Secchy, I'd like you to meet my daughter."
"H-huh?!" Eagle Eye blinked awkwardly.
"EE!" Belle pointed with a shout. "For Spark's sake—"
"Darn it!" Eagle Eye spun and deflected a zombie's dive at the last second. "Grrnnngh!"
"Hah hah hah hah!" Josho cackled, wide eyed. "I think we have what it takes now!"
"Don't spit all over it!" Floydien howled from the top deck. He blasted another wave of winged bogeys and spun to frown at Bellesmith. "You! Beloved of stripe-stripes! Get your flank Nancywise! On the tick!"
"R-right..." Belle nodded with a nervous shudder. "Come on, Elma..."

hmmm... I'm reminded of helms deep...
Woohoo! Super sexy space elk and girlycolt to the rescue!

Oh Josho.
Deus ex Floydien
Awesome
The cavalry has arrived!
Yaay for Flloydian the raindeer cannon. Now, are they going to keep those guys distracted so that Rourke can come in from behind and literally kick ass, or will she have to wait until sh has dealt with those Razzer Frazzer Lizzerts?
Josho and Eagle Eye are work so perfectly together. Even when it's not perfect, it's perfect.
Yay, the party's slowly but surely reuniting! And annihilating pegazombies in the process, so all the better!
Also, Floydien is best Han Solo.
4488331
Would that make Zaid Chewbacca?
4488347
Only if Chewbacca dropped out of college and is voiced by Jeff Bridges.
was wondering when this lot was going to get in on the big action.........
so Floydien's standing where as Nancy Jane comes a crashing in? I had the image of him standing on the top front of the hull outside, braced similar to twilight lifting the ursa

his daughter
Well, we got most of the crew together, got the enemy practically thwarted, and Rainbow's almost got a way to stop the Smooze, Also, we now have verifiable evidence to analyze so as to determine exactly what the speed of spit would be. Good work, Colon.
Sunova bitch, SUNOVA BITCH, SUNOVA BITCH MOTHERBUCKER, oh hey, Floydien! Haha, yes, Josho is finally acting like a dad for EE! Hooray for, uh, familyshipping?
4488367 I fully support this idea.
Imagine if this worked Pinocchio style.
Josho's description of Floydien cracked me up.
"Beastly sex with a red nose"
Now all we need is Roarke in the hijacked lounge ship and the survivors will be all set.
Floydien is such a badass.
Before he showed up, I was giving equal odds to Roarke, Dashie or the Jury Deus Ex-ing.
This team reunion is great and all, but without the Sword of Solstice, those Smooze waves won't be kept back for long...
Bout time the these parties finally met up. I hate when everyone is separated.
I give Stratopolis six more chapters. I wonder how Razzmatazz is doing in the center console?
Josho and Eagle Eye, back together at long last.
Oh, also everyone didn't die. That's cool too I guess.

How do you black out things like that
?
4491580 To blank things you use [spoiler.] >Insert text here< [/spoiler.] Just without the full stops.
I thought Elma left...
Josho definitely wins this chapter. It's great to see him embracing the parental relationship that has grown between him and EE.
I am a bit curious as to how Josho knows what sex with Floydien is like.
Woo, Floydien!
6 more chapters of action.
-Spirit
It is now more than two times as appropriate as ever before!
4493322 Knowing him it wouldn't surprise me if he tried to have sex with a transistor at some point, I guess that would feel about the same way.
YOu know Josho and EE make a pritty good fighting teem, Eagle Eye is a close range fighter and Josho is a moderet rang fighter. Put EE in front and have Josho cover him plus EE is getting to be a badass fighter so he can hold he's own with Josho covering him.
I guess crude minds think alike.
Floydien is the best space elk that ever was.
The Noble Jury has gotten its groove back and is taking the upper hand! Now we just need Kera back...
We sure have come a long way since we first met Josho and Eagle Eye. Back then, Josho would never have come close to suggesting EE was family, but now he can easily call him his daughter.
. . .
Well, some things never change.
6020940 Oh god I love their interactions. They really are like Family it's brilliant.
Last second rescue, there is a reason it is not too cliche
At least they laugh in the face of death.
The gang's getting back together, just in time to FUCKING DIE A FIERY DEATH
A day will come when Skirts runs out of fart jokes, but it is not this day.
So is EE ever going to get his weapons back? Belle last had the shield and the sword was stuck in a bogey...
Dawwww I'll never get tired of this

Are we reading the same thing? Lightning Elk is taking them out like crazy.
