//------------------------------// // Ch 2. Lost In Everfree Still // Story: Junker's Paradise // by GamerDroid23 //------------------------------// Soon after the introduction between the Mane Six, Junkrat and Roadhog were asked by them to join them on their picnic. Junkrat looked at Roadhog before the two huddled together to discuss it. "Why do you think they are being so accepting of us, Roadhog?" asked Junkrat, acting a bit skeptical. Roadhog just grunted in response. "It's not that I mind them doing it, it's just I'm not used to it." replied Junkrat. Roadhog moaned a little before nodding his head. Junkrat knew what this meant, and turned around toward the group of ponies. "My friend and I here have decided to join you in your little picnic." replied Junkrat, which in turn resulted in the Mane Six to get a bit giddy. "Follow us, you two. We know the way out of here." stated Twilight. Soon after that Junkrat and Roadhog nodded, before Roadhog pulled out his Chain Hook, and flung it at his ramshackle chopper, snagging the hook on the sidecar connecter. After checking to make sure that the hook was snug, he turned and gave the group a thumbs up. "Alright, let's go girls." stated Twilight, and the Mane six began moving, with Junkrat and Roadhog following along. After a while of walking, the Mane Six began to realise how lost they had become. "Uh sugarcube...I think we're lost." stated Applejack, after they had passed the same boulder twice now. Junkrat felt someone touch his shoulder, when he turned around to see who it was, he was met with a pair of teal eyes. He looked down to see Fluttershy looking nervously at him. He looked at her in curiosity. She whispered something to him which he didn't understand, so he kneeled down to her level so he could hear her. "Umm...Mister Junkrat...if it isn't too much trouble...could you please help us get out of here...please?" whispered Fluttershy. Junkrat looked around him before setting eyes on the boulder. A wicked grin began to appear on his face as he hobbled over to the rather large rock, and began to climb it. when he reached the flat top of it, he placed a Concussion Mine on top of it's smooth surface. This managed to get the attention of the Mane Six, more specifically, Rainbow Dash. She flew over to him in a state of curiosity and anger. "Hey, what do you think you're doing? We're trying to find a way out of this forest, and all you're doing is playing King of the Mountain! Why don't you help us out?!" yelled Rainbow Dash, as Junkrat looked at her... and began laughing. "WHAT'S SO FUNNY?!" screamed Rainbow Dash, very agitated at Junkrat's reaction. "The fact that you think I'm not helping." replied Junkrat as he pulled out a detonator. "You may wanna back up a bit, sheila. It's gonna get a bit loud." stated Junkrat as he walked back onto the Concussion Mine...and clicked the trigger. A loud kaboom was heard as the explosion propelled Junkrat into the sky. Seeing this, Rainbow Dash chased after him. Soon, Junkrat was relatively 500 feet in the air. After he had reached his target, he began to look around for the shortest way out possible from above. After looking around for a bit, he managed to find a way out. As he started to come down, he noticed a rainbow-colored blur heading straight towards him. After noticing said blur, he put his two of his fingers to his mouth and whistled. Down on the ground, Roadhog heard the distinct noise, and quickly grabbed his Chain Hook and flung it towards Junkrat, hooking him by his waist, and dragged him down extremely fast, with Rainbow Dash barely missing him. As soon as Junkrat touched the ground, he was thrown against a tree by an infuriated Rainbow Dash. But before she could lay a hoof on him, Roadhog grabbed her by the scruff of her neck. She looked at him, mad as a hornet. Roadhog grunted at her, before speaking in a gruff voice. "What...is your...problem?" he moaned. Rainbow Dash struggled to get free of his hands iron grip. "You...need to...take a...breather." uttered Roadhog, as he pulled out a small gas canister of Hogdrogen from his belt. "This...helps me...calm...down...It...should...help...you...too." groaned Roadhog as he began to move the gas canister toward her mouth. "Don't do it Roadhog." stated Junkrat, still leaning against the tree where Rainbow Dash had slammed him into, looking rather hurt from the impact. Roadhog looked at Junkrat before looking at Rainbow Dash, then looking at the Mane six, who looked afraid of him. Roadhog sighed dejectedly, before letting go of Rainbow Dash. This prompted Rainbow Dash to race over to her friends. Junkrat slowly got up from against the tree Rainbow Dash had forced him against. Looking at the Mane Six, he began to point behind them. "The fastest way out of this forest is to go that way." he stated before trying to move, only to fall down, clutching his ribcage.
