> Equestria Girls: Crossed Worlds > by therichardater > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Cry For Help > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fall Formal had been a year ago by now. Sunset Shimmer had friends. Barely anybody remembered her 'accident', and nobody ever brought it up. Why? Because she'd saved her school three or four times after. But... a new force is about to make an appearance. Will it be a good one, or a bad one? Let's see. To say today was different would be a severe understatement. Sunset was out by the portal to Equestria with her friends, like normal. Things had been quiet for awhile now. But that was before a black and red figure shot out of the statue, opposite side of the portal. It smashed into a car, thirty yards away, setting off the alarm. "Isn't the portal supposed to be on the other side?" Pinkie asked. "Yeah, and that thing doesn't even look human." Twilight said. She was right. Once it stood, it was about five and a half feet tall, skin almost black, with a red skirt. "Is that-" Pinkie started "SHURA! Where'd you go?!" A voice boomed behind them. They turned just in time to see somthing about the same size as the other one- Shura, come out of the portal. The only difference between them was the skirt, and the unnamed one's arms. They were huge. Thick, not long. "Stick figures!" Pinkie cried. "They came from the Stick World!" "Round two?" The unnamed one said. Shura cracked his knuckles. "You know it." They were bleeding. Shura had blood leaking from his mouth, and the other one's left eye was swelled shut, bleeding. Yet he was smiling. "I'm RG13, by the way." He said, pointing a look at the girls. Was he not bothered by the magical portal he just walked through? Or his eye? Sunset Shimmer Stick figures? Just what in the world was Pinkie talking about? I looked back to them, Shura had just punched RG13, who blocked, but it cracked the pavement. "We need to stop 'em before they tear somthin' up." Applejack said. "Besides the parking lot?" I said. She shot me a look. They probably couldn't hear us, they were too busy punching each other faster than I could see. "HELP!" Yelled a very familiar voice. I looked around, just to see Fluttershy missing. "HELP!" She yelled again, and I found out the general area her voice came from. Then I saw it. A purple stick was carrying her away. "Hey!" I shouted. He looked over, with a smile that chilled me to the bone. "Bog..." RG13 said, suddenly appearing beside me. > Gathering A Team > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jerry "Come in Jade." I said, trying to act calm. I was the opposite, of course. "Jerry? What do you need?" Her voice cackled through the radio. Great, I'm that far into the forest again. "Just a mission update. I followed Bog through the forest, and he just dissapeared. There are also signs of a major struggle. A sure fight passed right through here. But trails of it are gone as well. No sign of Yupia yet. I'm also getting... strange readings from the area of Bog's disappearence." "You need backup?" "Of course not, I'll check it out. Don't send Umbrella though if you decide to send it anyway." "You got it. No backup, no Umbrella." I could almost hear her smirk. Damn forest blocking out my video reciever. "I'm gonna check it out now, bye." I hung up. The place was trashed. Several trees had been shattered, the ground had cracks all over it, and there was a complete trail of destruction leading to a... rock. But the rock wasn't damaged at all. In fact, didn't I see Bog hanging around this rock earlier? "That's far enough, Jerry." A voice stopped me from touching it. "Oh, hey Nupes." I turned to see my friend. We hadn't seen each other in years, but she was my best friend. Has been since my father died. She was blind, but she got along. And her pink scarf she said was to resemble Tentionmaru's still hung from her neck. And her eyes... "Wait, you're a cyborg now?" I asked. "Yeah. And my name isn't Nupes anymore. It's Yupia." Sunset Shimmer I tried to run, to get Fluttershy. But RG13 held me back. And Shura was having a hard time keeping Applejack. Pinkie, Rarity, and Twilight didn't bother, knowing it would probably be a bad idea. Rainbow Dash, though, was a different story. She ran of, ponying up on the way torward Fluttershy. When she got to them, she punched Bog straight... through the face? "You will regret that." I heard. Bog's voice is dark and piercing. "Doubt it." I heard her say. She placed her footon his body, and slid her hand out. She grabbed Fluttershy, and tried to fly off. But his grip was iron. She kicked his arm, severing it from his body, but it still gripped her. Rainbow managed to kick it off as she flew away. "Rainbow! Look out!" Pinkie shouted. Then I noticed it. A small purple sphere was closing in on them. Rainbow Dash noticed it right as it hit them, and exploded, knocking them apart. "Shit!" Shura shouted. "Come on!" He took off in the direction of Rainbow Dash, as RG13 went for Fluttershy. Bog was also going for Fluttershy. Why could he want her? What gain could he get from her? They both got to her at the same time, but RG13 caught her, and laid her down softly. He turned, and punched Bog in the face, obliterating his head, but it just formed back around his arm. RG13 then started screaming, and pulled out his arm. His skin and flesh was melting away. He quited to a grunting, and you could tell he was holding back tears. That's when I noticed- he wasn't the only one screaming. Rianbow Dash had just done the same thing not too long before. > Gathering A Team: Part Two > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jerry "Okay, slow down here, you're the one who's wanted for murder? Who have you killed?" I asked. "Just Syn and Hue." She answered. "But you and Hue worked together, remember? The Dark Demons?" I said. "That was circumstance." She remarked. "What ever happened to that, anyway? Last I heard, Hyun and Jenkins just marched Right into their HQ. Haven't came back yet. You think they died?" "Ha, no. Hyun is Hyun and Jenkins is too badass. But a rebel Dark Demon told me that if they don't have silver, they can't kill them for good. Then I think he went off to help them. Anyway, could you like, not kill the good guys? I'd hate to see my best friend locked up. Forever, because you're part robot now." She thought a bit. "How about this: A friendly battle. If you win, I'll quit. But if you lose, I'll let you go, but you can't let anyone know where I am." I smiled. "Sure. But Nemesis already knows where you are, and your name. But I'll make sure to put in a good word. You see, Jade and I are good friends." She smirked. "A bit cocky, aren't we? I seem to remember who won years ago, without her robot upgrade." She charged me with a sword. It clashed against my arm, which was now a shield. "You know, you aren't the only one who's upgraded in the last ten years." Sunset Shimmer "Get her to some water!" RG13 yelled trough gritted teeth. "What about you?" Fluttershy asked. She must've escaped in the chaos. "You're hurt!" "What about me? I'll be fine, it's you he's after! I can deal with the pain. Just get somewhere safe. Shura, you protect them! "You can count on it. And don't go dying on me, we still have a fight to finish." He said. "Now don't go around thinking things like that. It's unhealthy." RG13 said. > The Unlikely Teamate > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jerry "You ready?" I yelled over. "I'm always ready." She answered. I charged her, with my sword equipped. She blocked some swings, knocked me off balance, and kicked me into a nearby tree. I hit the ground, dazed, but I shook it off, standing up. So offence doesn't work. Let's try defence. I switched to my shield. She ran at me, and struck my shield several times. I saw the perfect opportunity, and knocked her sword out of her hand, then smacked her with my shield, sending her back a bit. I changed my arm from my shield to my energy absorber. I had a good idea of what was gonna happen next. She shook her head, and looked to where her sword fell. She glanced back at me before running towards her sword. Unexpected, but I'll deal. I switched to a sword, and ran after her. She got to her sword before I could get to her, and when she picked it up, swinging it. It effectively put a deep gash in my stomach. I clutched the wound. That swing would have cut me in half, had I not dodged it. I had started to black out. Oh God, please give me the strength to finish this. Keep awake Jerry. I mentally told myself. My hand morphed into a gauntlet. I moved towards her, starting off as a walk, and progressing into a run. I dodged the swing of her sword,and tried to punch her, but she moved to the side, trying to kick me. I caught her foot, and threw her through a tree. She didn't stand up, so I went to look. I wasn't stupid, so I stayed about three feet away from the freshly made stump. When I saw her, she wasn't moving. "I know you aren't done. Not after just two hits." I didn't even notice the purple energy ball until it exploded, sending me through another tree. I couldn't move. I had used up all of my energy. I noticed Nup- no, Yupia standing in front of me. I couldn't hear what she was saying, I was trying to stay awake. "L-look out." I said, pointing at a fire wave moving towards her. And that was the last thing I saw before darkess surrounded me. Sunset Shimmer Shura didn't really lead us too far away. I mean, I could still hear the sounds of RG13 and Bog fighting. Every once in a while, RG13 would shout in pain. Dash was crying from the pain in her arm. Shura had checked it out, but it wasn't too bad, being raw, and bleeding a bit in a few places. Other than that, she was okay. "Um... I really don't have a clue where we are. Anyone know a good place to stay?" Shura said. "Ooh! We can all stay at my house!" Pinkie exclaimed. Sounded like a good idea. Pinkie's house is so far out of the city, she has to stay at our houses from Sunday through Thursday, just to get to school on time. Nobody would expect us to leave the city. "Sounds good Pinkie, lead away." I said. "Wait! Could I um... stay here please? It's just, well..." Fluttershy said. "Sure, but I'll be staying with you." Shura answered. "Besides, it'd be uncomfortable if I was the only guy in a house full of women." "I'm a guy." Spike spoke up. "And now the dog talks." Shura remarked. "This is a school, right?" "Yeah, a high school." Applejack said. "Why?" "Because she needs a doctor. Take her to the nurse's office." He said, gesturing to Dash. After she took Dash, we went back to the statue, only to be greeted by three new people, and RG13's body on the ground, knocked out. > The Unlikely Teamate: Part Two > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jerry When I came to, there were scorch marks all over the ground, several craters, uprooted trees, and two people fighting inthe distance. One was Nu- Yupia, and the other was... Jade? I tell her not to send Umbrella, so she comes herself? Anyway, you're probably wondering how I'm still alive. Well, my arm is robotic, and can turn into any weapon (within reason,) as long as I've scanned it (by holding it.) And when I take serious damage, my arm retracts, covering my body to heal it. It can heal anything, exept my brain. It's because my brain is connected to my arm, by alien technology, and if anything happens to my brain, my arm stops working. It also needs charged about every three days. That's not everything, but that's the just of it. "Jade! It's fine! She's cool!" I shouted getting closer. Yupia hit the ground, and slid to my feet. I then saw a blast of fire coming our direction. "Ah shit!" I yelled, knowing it came from Jade's spear. I quickly switched to my shield, and jumped in front of Yupia. And promptly flew twenty yards back as the blast collided full force with my shield. I turned, putting it under my feet, using it like a sled, before stopping. I took off in the direction of Jade, switching back to my hand. Turns out, she was running to find me, and we almost ran into each other. "Jerry! Are you okay?" She asked. "I'm fine, is Yupia okay? She's my friend." I answered. "Yupia? Is your friend? There's no way. You wouldn't keep a secret like that... would you?" "Wha..? No! Remember Nupes? My friend I talk about ALL the time? Yeah she got cyborg upgrades too, and changed her name. Neither of us has contacted each other in about ten years." I said. "She's a killer!" Jade rebutted. "She'll stop! She doesn't like the idea of life in prison." I argued. She took the hint, as I've never argued with her. "...If you say so. Let's go." We walked over to her, still out on the ground. Jade kicked Yupia awake, and I shot her a glare. "Is it okay move?" Yupia asked. "Yeah. But tfryh not to make any sudden moves, we don't want miss Itchy Trigger Finger over here getting any ideas." She glared at me, and I gave her the best shit-eating grin I could give. She rolled her eyes. "I don't even have a gun, Jerry." She replied. "Oh yeah. Miss Itchy Fan Blade Whatchamacallit Fingers." She backhanded me this time. "Okay, I might have deserved that." Looks like I lightened the mood a bit. "Okay, thanks guys, but I still have to go check out that rock that Bog was so interested in earlier." "Hah! As if I'd let you face Bog on your own. I'm going with." Yupia said. "And if she's going, I am too." Jade replied. "Jade you have a clan to run." I deadpanned. "Hey Clan Nemesis can run itself for a few days at least. And someone needs to keep an eye on her." She motioned to Yupia. There was no arguing this time. I sighed. "Okay, come on, we also need to find out who was fighting through there." "Oh, that was RG13 and Shura." Jade and I sweatdropped. "Okaytimetorunbeforetheydestroyanythingelse." I said as I took off running. Five minutes later we were standing over RG13's mutilated body. "Shura... couldn't have done this." Jade said as a group of people walked up to us, several of them gasping. Shura was in that group.
