//------------------------------// // Rock Farm Raid // Story: The Revenge of the Bluebloods // by efug25g //------------------------------// As the Unicornian Paratroopers came crashing down onto the streets of Ponyville, Pinkie Pie runs into her colt friend Cheese Sandwich while running for their lives. While the two party ponies made their way down south, several more invaders appeared from the sky and attempted to restrain Pinkie and Cheese. However, they were able to walk all over the sky above them and dropped several party anvils on top of their heads before running right past them. Right behind the pink pony and the yellow earth pony, more invaders started to open fire with their magic and hurled spears at them. Not a moment too soon, the two earth ponies were able to dodge them all by stretching both wide and narrow, evading the two projectiles by mere inches away from their stretchable bodies. The moment Pinkie turned around, she took out her party cannon and blasted three invaders sky high with it as she fired several bowling balls that Pinkie grabbed from a nearby sporting goods store at the edge of Ponyville earlier. As soon as they left Ponyville, Pinkie spit out raspberries at the invaders before hopping away on a bright-red pogo stick!!! "ADIDOS, YOU VILE SNAKES!!!!" Pinkie screeched as loud as a squeaking rat before hopping into the Ghastly Gorge, along with Cheese Sandwich who is riding on a green pogo stick. However, the chase did not end there. An airship continued to chase the two earth ponies down the Ghastly Gorge until they were met by a nest of Quarray Eels. Before they saw what was coming, the huge red reptiles sprung out from their holes and started to tear their airship apart. After several of their crew members falling off their ship and devoured by the eels, the captain had no choice but to order his remaining crew to turn their ship around. As for Pinkie Pie and Cheese, they jumped off their pogo sticks and hopped right on top of the Quarry Eels, untouched. The moment the two earth ponies reached to the other side, away from the huge eels, they turned around to see their pursuers get obliterated along with their airship when one of the eels struck at its engines, making it explode in mid-air. Just when Pinkie and Cheese we're about to cheer, they see another enemy airship hot on their trail, flying way above the Ghastly Gorge. The moment the invading airship got closer, Cheese Sandwich pulled out his giant party cannon. As soon as Pinkie went inside the cannon, Cheese lit the fuse and aimed it at the airship. Inside the gun barrel, Pinkie could not help but feel so excited in punching through the ship's hull in a heartbeat. "I'M SO EXCITE; WHO'S EXCITED?!!! AHHHH, I NEVER FELT SO EXCITED IN MY WHOLE LIFE!!!!" Pinkie screeched as she made a very wide grin on her face while putting on her blue helmet. As soon as Cheese's cannon went "Boom," Pinkie came flying like a speeding bullet straight into the bridge of the enemy airship. In just less than a second, the pink pony crashed straight into the bridge causing quite a panic to most of the crew onboard, leaving their captain completely dumbfounded. Before the Captain could do anything, Pinkie slammed her head in front of his face, sending him crashing to the helm. Upon impact, the ship's helm broke apart and, as a result, the airship veered off course and flew straight into the mountains near Los Pegasus!!! As soon as the Captain and his remaining crew spotted their ship heading straight towards the mountains, instead of going after the two party ponies, they all started screamed their heads off not knowing what to do anymore. For Pinkie Pie, she snatched a nearby parachute and went back out to where she came crashing from but not before making one final speech in front of her enemies. "Have a nice trip, losers!!!" Pinkie chirped as she left them a smack in her flank, taunting them before she jumped off the ship. "HEE! HEE! HEE! HEE! HEE! HEE!" The moment the pink pony pulled out her parachute and landed back where Cheese Sandwich was at, the captain ran all over the deck in a total panic. "CURSE YOU, PINK PONIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!" The Captain shrieked as his airship crashed into the mountains, with the explosion silencing him forever. Upon seeing the airship exploded on the mountains near Los Pegasus, Pinkie and Cheese both cheered as they moved on towards the Rock Farm, Pinkie Pie's birthplace. As soon as they got there, Pinkie knocked on the door of her father's house. As soon as the door opened, Pinkie's father, Igneous Rock, and her mother, Cloudy Quartz, appeared before the pink pony. Upon seeing their hyperactive daughter again, the Pie Family was wondering why would Pinkie Pie and Cheese appear so early in the morning. Before any pony could ask what was going on, Pinkie makes her first speech first. "Mom. Dad. I have some very bad news." Pinkie announced to her parents as her two younger sisters, Limestone and Marble Pie, appear right behind them, with Marble's son Shale Pie. "An attack at Ponyville has occurred and I want to make sure you guys are safe." Upon hearing what Pinkie just said, the entire Pie family was completely shocked. "How could you say that, dearie?" Cloudy Quartz asked not getting the full picture from Pinkie. "This morning, when we went to Twilight's Castle to pay our respects for her, a fleet of airships appeared out of nowhere in the skies above Ponyville." Pinkie explained. "At first, we thought they were hear for a welcoming party but it turns out that they ended up crashing our party without mercy or remorse." "Are you sure? You're not going crazy, are you Pinkie Pie??" Igneous Rock asked, concerning for Pinkie's mental health. "NO, I'm serious, dad." Pinkie persisted as she pointed her hoof towards the window leading outside. "Look outside!!!" As soon as the rest of the Pie Family went up to the windows, they saw several unidentified airships heading straight for them. Upon seeing the invaders from afar, Cloudy started to feel very worried for the safety of their family. Even the two sisters were afraid of what's going to happen next when the invaders reach their beloved Rock Farm. "Igneous, what should we do??" Cloudy asked her husband while trembling in fear. "Get everypony down below the cellar, now!!!" Igneous Rock spoke to his wife. When Cloudy lead Pinkie, Cheese, Shale, and the rest of Pinkie's siblings down the cellar, Igneous stood on all fours and faced the front door of his house. After the rest of the Pie Family went underneath the cellar, Igneous looked out the window again, only to see a regiment of Unicornian soldiers disembark from their airships. Before Igneous could do anything, the soldiers reached up to his doorstep and demanded him to come out with his hooves up. As soon as Igneous came out, he was immediately knocked down to the ground by one of the soldiers from behind. Before he could get up, Igneous was immediately restrained by the invaders. Behind the invading soldiers, Amadeus Blueblood and Captain Blood Harrier appeared before them. The moment Igneous saw the face of the vile nobles that defiled his daughter, Marble Pie, he struggled to get back at Amadeus. However, because of how strong his soldiers are, Igneous could not even lay a hoof on him and, instead took another beating from Captain Harrier. The moment, they stopped punching Igneous, one of the soldiers grabbed him by his mane before being spoken to Amadeus. "Hello, Igneous Rock Pie." Amadeus smirked. "It seems you have quite a fascinating farm here, eh?? The reason why were here is because we need received word from one of my son's scouts that you and your family possess an abundant supply of Orichalcum, deep within your mines. Is that true?" "Why does it matter?? You'll never get anything from me, you bastard!!!" Igneous protested as he was met with a hoof-punch to the face by Amadeus himself. "I'd rather die, than lose my faith towards the legacy of Princess Twilight herself!!!" "DON'T TEST MY PATIENCE, MISTER ROCK!!!" Amadeus roared in a hostile voice. "That Orichalcum will be used as income and for forging and developing weapons for the Army of Unicornia. If my son was able to find the Orichalcum to do away that wretched harlot, then so can I. Now, WHERE IS IT?!!!!" "BUCK YOU, BLUEBLOOD!!!!" Igneous snarled while getting battered by several more punches in the face and in the stomach. After one minute of beating, Igneous started to lose consciousness. Before they knew it, the dark-brown elder earth pony collapsed on the ground, with his mouth bleeding and his eyes turning black and bruised. Upon seeing Igneous out cold, Lt. Harrier issues out the following orders to the rest of his men. "Unicornians, spread out and sweep the entire Rock Farm. We need to find the Orichalcum mines at once!!!!" Blood Harrier shouted while giving out orders to his men. As Harrier's men spread out all over the Rock Farm, some of them stormed inside the Pie Family residence and knocked down every bookshelf and table they see in their sights. From the cellar, the Marble and Limestone felt terrified upon seeing the invaders trash the entire place like there's no tomorrow. Upon seeing her husband getting beaten up by Amadeus' and Blood Harrier's men, Cloudy Quartz started crying silently in tears with Pinkie and Shale comforting her. "Oh, Faust!!! Please save us!!!" Cloudy sobbed to herself. While Harrier's men continued looting the Pie residence, he and Amadeus took an unconscious Igneous Rock to the silo and strapped him on a chair with black duct tape wrapped around his beaten body. The moment Amadeus left the silo, he let Harrier deal with Igneous Rock. "Alright every pony. Let's see if we can get one of his daughters up here to make Igneous spill the beans, shall we?" Amadeus said in a dark tone. Meanwhile, back at the Ghasty Gorge, an grey earth pony with the dark-purple mane and tail, who is wearing an indigo trench coat covering up most of her body. She goes by the name Maud Pie, the elder daughter and Pinkie's elder sister in the Pie family. After studying over 5 types of gemstones inside one of the Crystal Caves at Ghastly Gorge, Maud decides to go get some fresh air. However, the moment Maud went outside, she spotted some unidentified airships that landed right where her father's rock farm was at. "I don't recall seeing ships nearby our home." Maud said to herself. "Something doesn't seem right here." The moment Maud headed back to the rock farm to investigate, she put on her spiked helmet and armed herself with a sledgehammer. As soon as she reached the rock farm, Maud spotted a group of unidentified soldiers looting her father's house. In a silent rage, Maud charged straight at the soldiers in a very fast pace and bashed several of them away with her sledgehammer. The moment Harrier and Amadeus saw what was going on, Harrier jumped into action and attempted to neutralize Maud at will. As soon as Harrier drew out his sword, he performed a parry to block Maud's sledgehammer from coming into contact with his skull. "What is the meaning of this??" Maud hissed. "What did you guys do to my family??" Before Maud could say another word, Harrier shoved her sledgehammer away from his face and ensnared the grey earth pony with his blood magic, trapping her inside a huge red cage. Maud continued to bang on the cage with multiple barrages of her punches. However, despite her physical efforts, Maud could feel Harrier's blood magic draining away her strength. As soon as Maud became exhausted, Harrier took her to the silo, where her father is being held. As soon as Maud saw her father strapped to a chair with duct tape, Maud's eyes widened with fright. "No!! Father!!!" Maud said in horror. "What did you snakes do to him??" "We were trying to make him tell us where is the Orichalcum but he was quite a stubborn old colt, if you ask me." Amadeus Blueblood said as he appeared behind Maud. "Now, if you don't want to see your father die, then tell us WHERE IS THE BLOODY ORICHALCUM??!! I DON'T HAVE ALL DAY, MAUD PIE!!!!" Just before Maud could say anything, one of Amadeus' guards came up to him and told him that the Orichalcum deposits are in the small caves behind the Pie residence. Upon hearing what his guard just said, Amadeus ran straight towards the caves that his guard was talking about. The moment he saw the Orichalcum appear before his very eyes, he started to get really excited. "Oh, Sir Blueblood be praised!!!" Amadeus cheered to himself. "I knew I'll be able to find that metal very soon, without fail." Back inside the Pie residence, Pinkie and her family were still hiding underneath the cellar. Just when the soldiers are about to leave, one of Pinkie's elder sisters sneezed all over the wooden floor in the cellar. After hearing it, the Unicornian soldiers went to investigate Igneous house again only to find a trap door leading to the cellar. The moment one of the soldiers stepped down the stairs leading to the cellar, Pinkie grabbed him by the neck and slammed him on the floor and smashed his face with a huge rock. During the confusion, Pinkie's sisters, Shale, and Cloudy tried to make a run for it out the door. However, the moment the rest of Pinkie's family stepped outside of their house, they were met by a large group of Harrier's men pointing their spears directly at them. As for Pinkie and Cheese, they were met by a destructive Blood Harrier. Before Pinkie and Cheese had a chance to react, they were met by a red-lighting flash that sent both of them out cold. Upon seeing the two earth ponies get carried away by Blood Harrier, Cloudy Quartz screamed in terror. Before the rest of Pinkie's family could do anything, Limestone, Marble, Shale, and Cloudy had their hooves tied up with small hooded cloths covering up their heads, immediately.
