//------------------------------// // Plant bros // Story: Spike 10 // by Silver Butcher //------------------------------// Ghostfreak didn't have much time to try and think out a plan as the animals began surrounding him, he knew he was a ghost and could just fly through them but the Echoing in his mind had shifted, it was now clearly Animo's voice telling him to obey, echoing through his head and messing with his mind, try as he might Ghost freak kept shifting back and forth between being tangible and not. "Danger," he said, the Omnitrix agreed and he was Ditto. "Alright time to spli...geah!" Ditto had begun splitting into two when the voice in his head gave him a splitting head ace, with a snap he was one Ditto again, "Plan B!" he decided as he turned to the Timberwolves cave and ran in, "Ha-oh snap," Ditto slid to a halt as the Wolves began growling and getting closer, circling the sides of the cave to trap him in, the largest one was getting closer when the Omnitrix beeped. "Alien found, Species Florauna and Species Methanosian Immune to..." "Fine whatever give me one and..." "Selecting first option, Florauna now active in playlist," the Watch beeped and in a flash, Wildvine blinked. "Oh hey that stupid voice is...oh boy," Wildvine took a step back as the Timberwolves came full circle, "Wait don't eat me! Where Plant bros!" Wildvine held up his hands and the Big Timberwolf sniffed him, growled and turned the other way, It took Wildvine a second to realize what had happened, "Oh yeah, you guys are Carnivores, and I'm not made of meat!" he managed to get a fist pump off when a Huge hand dug into the cave and pulled him and several Timberwolves out, WIldvine was left staring face to face to an Ursa Minor, which turned and presented him to Animo. "Well now, It seems your little device saved you from my mind control, how interesting, I'll have to..." Wildvine hear a crack and suddenly he was covered in a huge plum of Smoke, he fell to the ground as the Ursa fell back, several small black objects fell near him and with a weird feeling, he felt something grow on his back and, after a quick check, he smiled. "I got smoke bombs, I'm mean, smoke seeds, seed bombs? Whatever they are that's Sweet," he got on his feet and made a judgment call. "To Twilight," He decided as he turned tail and tried to run for it, only for the Cragodiles tail to nail him, sending him flying back into the Timberwolves cave. "That was Bogus!" He called back as he got up, several of the Timberwolves had walked over to him and before he could react they began licking him. "Oh, we plant buds now or something?" He asked when the Cragodiles jaws began reaching into the cave, Vines shot out of Wildvnes back as he grabbed the Three wolves around him and carried them to the back of the cave with him."OK plant buds, you got a back door or something?" one of the Timberwolves barked at him and Wildvine nodded, "Yeah, I suppose that would require an extra set of guards to cover..." Wildvine blinked "...I actually understood that" Wildvine stared blankly before smiling "I am the Fluttershy of the plant world...I hope," Wildvine closed his eye and focused, Sending his energy to the trees around the clearing before yelling out "Help a Plant bro out?" there was a loud ruckus outside and Wildvine checkout outside to find the entire clearing had come to life and was wrapping around the animals, "Just hold them there plant buds! I'm gonna go get the Princess to set that....that..." Wildvine looked at Animo and realized something, he was wearing the dumbest outfit he had ever seen in his life, "What the heck is up with your hat?" Wildvine asked with a laugh, "You dare laugh at my Transmodulator?" Animo demanded, "This is the most powerful device across all of Equestria and with it I shall..." A Vine wrapped around Animo's mouth and Wildvine gave him a peace sign. "I'm sorry you said Transmodlarator and I just stopped listening." He said "Bye!" Wildvine be-lined it to Ponyville, he made it 3 steps when a Timberwold knocked him off his feet, before he could hit the ground he was on the back of another and as one the entire pack began running in formation with Wildvine riding up front. "Oh this is Wild!" he blinked "That's it Wildvine! I'm so awesome at names, Forward my Wolf pack, to Ponyville, and try not to eat any of the ponies when we get there," The Pack ran uninterrupted for about 5 minutes and was just about to make it out of the forest when loud earth shaking thumping could be heard from behind them. "Oh boy," Wildvine said as he looked back just in time for Ursa to sideswipe at the Timber Wolves in the back. "Plant bro's fall to the sides and stay out of the line of fire, I'll whistle if I need you!" All the Wolves save the one Wildvine was riding began splitting off into the forest, Wildvine looked back at the Ursa, on top of which stood Animo with a crazy smile. "I dunno what your overall goal is, and I don't know what stage this is on your plan, but It's all gonna come crashing down thanks to Wildvine." "How quaint, you've already named it, no matter soon you will time out, and when you do I'll make sure you don't get the change to transform again!" Wildvine decided not to mention the survival function which he was pretty sure had traped him as Wildvine for as long as Animo's Mine control thing was focused on him, Wildvine patted the Wolve. "Alright bud, when we get to the edge of the forest, loop back around and join your pack, I'll hoof it from there, the Wolf barked back that it understood and Wildvine got on his feet, before looking back. "Your hat get's even stupider the more I look at it, I recommend a Change in fashion," "Insolent fool, this helmet it the source of my power, with it I control all the animals of this forest!" Animo seemed to think that would make him seem more fierce, instead, it made him look stupid. "Did you just straight up tell me how to beat you?" Wildvine asked "Really?" "Oh don't worry child! You'll never get close enough to me with my pets around!" Wildvine decided that was a red flag and patted the wolf. "Now!" The Wolf took a mighty leap forward and dissolved into a pile of sticks, sending Wildvine flying out of the forest, he landed on his feet and slid a fair way before getting his footing and running towards the town just as the Ursa broke through the tree line. -meanwhile- "Why would he chase after them?" Fluttershy asked as she and Rainbow made their way towards Everfree. "Probably got caught up in the moment," Rainbow replied, "Or maybe he saw something odd and chased the lead." She shrugged "We can ask when we find..." Rainbow's response died in her throat as Wildvine came running into view "...Is that another new one...oh what?" Rainbow was cut off in her own surprise when Animo and the Ursa came into view, she and Fluttershy could hear the two yelling at each other. "You can't escape from me!" Animo called as the Ursa began catching up. "I was going to let you live, but for causing this much trouble I'm going to dissect you and use you to Mutate these creatures into an unstoppable army with your Powers." "Is that supposed to make me slow down?" Wildvine called back as he speed up, only just noticing his two friends "Wanna stare or you wanna move?" he asked, grabbing them in his vines. "What the heck is happening right now?" Rainbow demanded as he let her go and she flew next to him "Crazy guy using a mind control device to control monster into attacking the town, doesn't work on plants." Fluttershy's facial expression as she stared at Animo, and his face staring back, indicated to Wildvine and Rainbow that they had met before. "You!" Fluttershy said, her voice filled with more hatred than either had thought she could muster. "Me," Animo agreed. "Your that dirtbag that was Harvesting Breezies!" "I was doing the Scientific community a favor, we can not learn if you do not study, and we can not study unless we are the ones in control." "Hey so just a F.Y.I," Wildvine cut in "Doctor crazy hat's powers come from his crazy hat." "No offense but that is an Ursa, Sorry but I don't wanna lose a wing," Rainbow replied. "Alright then start an evacuation," Wildvince snapped back. "Fluttershy.." "Spike" she replied "Help me take this guy down," "Wildvine will gladly help, and so will his buds," Rainbow was gonna ask if that was a plant joke when Wildvine put his fingers in his mouth and began whistling, in the forest, the Timberwolves made their move as they combined into the Mega wolf. Wildvine turned on the spot, letting go of Fluttershy, Rainbow shot past them, having not expected them to stop, most of the Citizens of Ponyville had taken notice by now. "Wow," Applebloom said "A Plant guy." "He looks kind of cool," Scootaloo replied as the Ursa skid to a halt, Animo stood up and raised his hands. "Residents of Ponyville, I am Doctor Animo! soon you will know me as your ruler, help me take this hero down and you will be rewarded, don't and your enslavement shall be painful!" The sound of running hit Animo's ears and he turned just in time for the Mega Timber wolf to jump over him and the Ursa, Wildvine let go of Fluttershy and whistled again, the Wolf slid to a stop and lowered it's head, letting Wildvine climb up, the Wolf turned to Animo and Wildvine stared at him. "You want a Monster fight? I can get down with that!"
