Chapter 17: Evade

Damn not here


Tirek began to pace along in his Chambers, simply reading a newspaper. the same one in fact as that fateful night.
"No," He fumed as he tore up the paper. "Reaver, Anarchy, Bunta"
Three minions walked. "your new mission, capture the Element of Magic... without that element, the others are useless"
Reaver stood still and looked on in confusion. "Are you sure that's wise?" Reaver found himself thrown into a wall.
"do you think it's wise to question your master?" Lord Tirek growled rhetorically.
"Now.. GO!" he issued the order. No-one questioned him.

Now all he had to do was wait.


Sweat dripped off my brow as I worked. The heat, along with strenuous activity such as this, was beginning to get to me.
"Left a bit, Right a bit... oooohhhhh right there" Twilight cooed. She was still enjoying herself, "Now to move the rest of your stuff in" She smiled with glee. As I pushed harder, I heard a slight creak. Looking over to Twilight I could see she was now reading happily. "heh, I don't think you'll have to worry about my stuff that much, Sweetheart" I smiled.
It had been several weeks since... well... everything. Scootaloo had made a full recovery and had grown to see me as a big brother figure, not that I didn't welcome it. There was a knock at the door, and spike went to answer it.
"Yo Alan, It's Scoots," I simply sighed, Rainbow had told her how I could use something as simple as a pole as a weapon, And she wanted to see if she could get her cutie mark from it "...And her Parents"

Crap.

I dashed down stairs. "Ok... what's wrong?" I asked, Scootaloo simply looked at me apologetically.
Her mother looked at me for a moment. "It's... about your relationship with our daughter"
"What about it?" I raised an eyebrow.
"She told us you were going to teach her how to use a pole?"
Given the circumstances, I decided not to beat around the bush. "Are you insinuating something? Because I'm sure Twilight would love to hear this" I looked a little upset. Twilight teleported down upon hearing her name.
Scootaloo's father looked at me furiously. "Now see here I"
I cut him off, grabbing the pole in the corner. "this is what a pole looks like, if you were referring to something clearly not meant for children... then you should seek psychiatric help," I grunted "Sorry Scoots, but your Parents really annoy the hell out of me... I really hate to do this, but unless they're breathing down my neck all the time, You won't be able to learn anything" I sighed.

"wait, You had to learn all that?" Scootaloo's parents looked confused.
"and to make it worse, I'm a terrible teacher" her parents began to catch on.
I was a about to continue when Scoot's came out with "Nevermind then" She then walked off in a huff.


Bunta Flew across the snowy plains, looking over different towns and villages. finally landing in a good spot, He began the painstaking process of watching the Magi. "Element of Magic huh?... 'spose that'll be the strongest Magi here"
He continued to watch as his new target came to view. a boastful voice echoed across the snowy village. "And now, the great and Powerful Trixie do something amazing, Trixie is going to pull Trixie out of a hat"
Bunta wasn't very bright. He swooped down and snatched her up.

The crowd of people grumbled "well, looks like equestrian is off the menu tonight" a voice lamented.


Twilight sat down to enjoy a cup of tea, Waiting for Alan to return with the last of his clothes. She blushed as she remembered the first date. "I hope this isn't going too fast for him," She sighed. "I should really have that chat with Rarity about it" she mused to herself as she grabbed the book off her shelf. Looking out the window, she could see that Alan was having a little trouble with a very large box of things. she could also see a smile on his face as he walked.
The Cutie Mark Crusaders were bothering him about something, as they scrambled about the place, Following him at every step. "Kids these days" Twilight stopped in her tracks, Slowly turning to look behind her.

There, Sitting on the sofa were two distinct figures.
She dropped the tea.

one of them started tutting. "Such a waste of good tea"
What they didn't expect, however, was her grabbing the sword and vanishing.
"Anarchy... Go get her" Reaver said coldly.
