//------------------------------// // chapter 44: a forced hand // Story: Bamboozled again! // by Theboxcatgamr //------------------------------// As Alex and Noah clashed with sombra in the distance, Alex’s team ran into some issues as well ”ok so we need to hold the Line for now” A loud screeching sound came from the right as a rather dazed looking civilian began stumbling towards the team. readying themselves they prepared for a hostile encounter...until said possessed pony was quickly thrown to the ground by a celestial guard. The guard looked at the team and sized them up...before getting back stabbed by his own teammate. He looked dazed as well and Alex’s team threw him down and tied him up while treating the gaurds wounds. A lot more possessed pony’s were visible on the horizon. ”...shit” ————————————————————-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------meanwhile... Twilight reaches the crystal heart and pokes it a bit. Suddenly black spikes spring up and trap her as spike (the dragon) gets startled. Twilight notices the movement in a nearby cage. It was...a filly? ————————————————————-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------meanwhile... Sombra ceased his attack on Noah and Alex when a look of supprise comes across his face...before Alex and Noah capitalized on the opportunity and bash sombra over the head knocking him unconscious. When sombra awoke he was tied to a chair in a dark room. He could see the silhouettes of two humans. ”I’m only going to ask this once sombra. Where is she?” ”oh wouldn’t you like to know.” “I got this” ”ok” Noah stepped in front of sombra and paused. A moment later he started repeatedly backhanding sombra. Alex held Noah back...before doing the exact same thing. This went on until Alex grabbed sombra by the horn and dragged his chair back to the throne room. He kicked the chair into the large hole and sombra hit every single step on the way down. Ditzy was at the bottom in a trance simply looking at Alex. Sombra began to laugh as Ditzy lunged at Alex. ————————————————————-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------meanwhile... Alex’s team was doing something they haven’t done in years: riot control. They threw the out of control pony’s to the side and created a blockade. And yet somehow with all of this chaos there was a festival of sorts nearby...or there was until a black smoke began to circle the large settlement. Then all hell broke loose. The events were so jarring that even the possessed pony’s were snapped to attention as the harsh cold was allowed into the city...all except one particularly Derpy one ————————————————————-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------meanwhile... As Derpy was taking swings at Alex in a very aggressive manner, sombra was laughing maniacally. Derpy winded up and Alex sidestepped the attack causing Derpy to hit sombra. Sombra’s ropes came undone and he blasted upward towards the crystal heart. Alex using Noah as a foot stool began following sombra with Noah and Derpy following closely behind. They reached the top and sombra was punted out of the window by Alex. He Shortly returned riding a black spike...but he ignored Alex. It was then they all witnessed something crazy. Alex extended his shovel to poll-vault into the air as Noah ran up the black spike and then to everyone’s surprise, Gavin (who was stuck at a shitty fair for hours) had shot the base of the black spike causing it to crumble as shining armour JUST FUCKING THREW HIS EXAUSTED WIFE AT SOMBRA! in a chain reaction: Noah bashed sombra in the back with a hammer, spike caught the Crystal heart, Alex useing his shovel hit Sombras chin and with Noah’s hammer on the other side just fucking annihilated sombra’s head causing the black horn on his head to fly off, Candice caught spike and activated the crystal, the spaghetti-O’s Gavin had been cooking in a microwave had begun creating lighting. End result? sombra ded thx 2 newle wed Nightmare sprung up into the air and safety caught Noah as Derpy did the same for Alex. Sombra probably would have screamed when the light began to desintigrate his body but as he had no head it was all good. The black spike shattered completely and the cold retreated. suddnly a large Ray of light blasted the castle and purged it of its impurities. Suddenly a large shadow portal appeared under Alex,Noah and Gavin and safety evacuated the rouges and sent them to canterlot high FUCK YOU publish
