Angry Eyes

"Mmff... Mmmff... Nnngh..."

His water-logged body heaved and seethed at the river rapids' edge.

Seated at the base of the canyon, Crimson finished heating the shard of a fallen managlider's wing with his horn. Once the chunk of metal was burning hot, he raised it to his frowning face.

He took several breaths, then lifted a stick into his mouth, biting down as he closed his eyes.

Finally, no longer delaying the inevitable, Crimson telekinetically shoved the burning, smoking end of the metal into his bleeding stub of a forelimb.

"Nnnnn-nnnngh!" he grunted and wheezed into the stick he was chomping onto. With great diligence, he cauterized the wound. After several minutes, he finally found the strength to grab a local piece of driftwood and fastened it to his limb with twine from his vest, forming a makeshift crutch of sorts.

Finally, his twitching eyes swam towards the noonday sky. The cloudy trai left by the Searonese vessel was still visible, leading its effluent way south, following the path of the winding ravine.

"Oh no..." He shook his head, his muzzle bravely forming the hint of a smirk through all the anger and the pain. "It's not over that easily..." He stood up and hobbled his way towards a crashed managlider that stood miraculously intact just yards from where he had dragged it fitfully from the depths of the river. "One of us is getting home, even if it kills me. Might as well be her..."

Weathering the pain from his wound, Crimson straddled the managlider, ignited its core with his horn, and throttled towards the sky in a furious burst of thunder.

[Pilate]

I am out of emotions.

[Jake The Army Guy]

The pieces are scattered, but the game is far from over...

[Aurum]

Still alive! Yay!

[eucatastrophe]

Spoiler: Crimson is actually master cheif

[SatoshiKyu]

Never expected that Crimson would live while EE died...

[zaponator]

He's not even angry.

[CrimsonPhoenix]

It is ON!!

[FloydienSlip]

*breathes huge sigh of relief*
*remembers that EE is dead*
*inhales deeply*

[Personifire]

Crimson has now lost two members of his party. And the only other living original member is a traitor.

Dammit, he better win.

[Emberspeak]

Do people really think that EE is dead? No way. He fell dead-still, but he could just be unconscious, not to mention the fact that he has Josho - who is still alive - with him.

No, EE still has his part to play, I think.

[Ace of Kings]

[Fishberry]

I hope EE is still alive

I have funny feelings.

Help...

[Future Regret]

I think the I am legend music is the saddest thing to listen to while reading these last few chapters

[Ledomare]

Time to bring this all full circle. Emotional music coming online.

[dashie76]

IIIIIt's Dashie's Tenth Marathon Evaluation Time!

So in the last chapter...I was right...Josho teleported himself and EE away...and now Crimson survived...I'm sorry...I just can't...These are my thoughts so far.

-MASH

P.S. Thirteen...

[MellowMabari]

Hmmm... Crimson is alive, eh? EE is too, then, darn it! Him falling "dead still" and "facing the dawn for the last time" could totally just mean he's unconscious. Totally. Again. Emotions. Through. The. Wringer. You evil mastermind, you.

[Tetrominon]

HOLY I DID NOT SEE THIS COMING AT ALL.

Unfortunately, now this means I'm having to hope that Pilate is dead after all. Two miraculous, out-of-nowhere saves in a row would just be too damn much.

[AppleTank]

....Pilate? You there? And Belle is screwed, isn't she.

[Riverwing]

"Commander! You don't have the firepower!"
"I have the mass."

[Nevlamas]

2233414 Nothing to add.

[iloveportalz0r]

>The cloudy trai left by the Searonese vessel
"trail"?

[Super Trampoline]

Ahhh, the second of the "eyes" chapters.

[whizzball1]

Yay! Still alive!

-Spirit

[JustAnotherTimeLord]

It's good to see you alive, sir!

[Regidar]

HOLY SHIT YES
I WAS SO CLOSE TO CRYING OVER YOU
YOU DAMN LUCKY BASTARD

[Seraphimus]

5531353 i did cry when I realized he was still alive. He couldn't die not like that. Dear god.

[Tim the Planes-pony]

Go Crimson Go!

[Hazard]

And so the three-legged unicorn set off after the bounty hunting cyborg and the chaotic element of loyalty.

[djthomp]

I knew it x2.

[UglyTurnip]

Crimson is alive!

(Yeah, I know, I'm being Captain Obvious, I just thought for sure that he was dead)

[Tim the Planes-pony]

Uh, how does he know that Rainbow is on that ship? I guess it is not that important, but still...

Because as long Roarke lives, she'll go after Rainbow Dash. Since the ship was leaving, then Roarke would've had RD.

[Grey Rebl]

MOTHERFUCKER! GIVE ME BACK MY EMOTIONS!

[Speckle]

[FOXTrot2]

Weathering the pain from his wound, Crimson straddled the managlider, ignited its core with his horn, and throttled towards the sky in a furious burst of thunder.

I hope Roarke doesn't shoot him down.
That would be a sad ending to the mighty Crison.
Truly, a sad way to go out

[Dashie04]

“Cut off my legs, now I’m an amputee!”

I’m so sorry for that.

However, Crimson is alive, too! This also made me happy! In addition, there isn’t even ambiguity on whether he’s alive or not, like 2E and Josho. He may have trouble walking properly again, but at least he’s still walking,

[ponepony]

Some ponies are difficult to keep down.

[SnowOriole]

Bruh

[ZanarNaryon]

You know no matter how hard Shell keeps trying to kill ponies he just keeps failing at it. Betya Pilate is alive too
