//------------------------------// // [Go With Pharynx] // Story: Blue Fang // by MlpHero //------------------------------// Blue Fang looked at Pharynx, then at Zenex. He sighed. “I’m coming with you,” he growled, “I’m gonna get you outta this mess if it’s the last thing I ever do!” Blue ran up past Pharynx. “Thank you.” The two continued running towards the cliff side. Blue looked up to see a deer standing over a defeated wolf. He looked at Pharynx, then to the now very close cliff. He stopped and looked at Pharynx. “Okay, this is as far as I go. You need to find the others.” “But... but Hex! He’s still—” “I’ll deal with him. You get back to our family.” He took his dog tags off. “Here. Get back to our... your family.” “Blue Fang...” “Go to your family.” “Blue Fang!” “Get the hay outta here and be a gosh darn adult!” Pharynx sighed. “You’re my brother, Blue.” “I know...” Blue sighed. “I know...” The two friends split up, Blue running up the cliff, while Pharynx ran through the forest. Blue turned and began firing at the charging guards. “Chrysalis curse you ponies!” He turned and continued running up the cliff. He kept going until he found a sort of ledge he could stand on. He stared over the edge, watching the guards move past him. He sighed and looked around. Then... “BLUE FANG!” Blue looked over to see Hex charging at him. The ladder clashed with the former. The two went at it, exchanging punches. “You should’ve messed with us!” Blue snapped, throwing a right-hook. Hex recoiled back. “What makes you say that, Blue Tooth?” he said, almost taunting him. “Cause when you do, you get hurt!” Blue snapped. He drew his knife; and so did Hex. The two blades began clashing together, almost like a dance. Blue and Hex battled atop the cliff. “You’re rats!” Blue snapped. “I’m a survivor, Blue Tooth. A survivors is all there is... in living and dying!” The two continued their dance of blades. Blue snarled as Hex tried cutting at his neck. He ended up getting pretty close to Hex torso. The two continued their "dance". Blue felt a blade brush too close to his shoulder. He winced as the blade scratched his shoulder, tearing a bit of flesh away. “Once I finish you, Blue Tooth, I’ll go kill Pharynx, then Kydra, and then Broken... and the whole Fang Gang!” He looked up to his opponent, and they continued, until... Slash! “ARGH!” Blue grabbed Hex, who now had a big gash in his leg. He grabbed Hex and began dragging him towards a nearby rock, and began bashing his skull in. Blue wanted Hex to pay for what he did, and now he would. Blue raised Hex up to see his face, which didn’t even look like Hex’s face. He discarded the body. He stepped back. He was free. He finished the— Slash! Blue’s eyes widened and he looked down. It didn’t take him long to see the knife in his stomach; he collapsed. He looked up to see... Arthrax He fell onto his back and looked at Arthrax. He growled. “You’re a rat... both of you...” he wheezed. He frowned. “You’re dying Blue Tooth... You’re blind...” He looked over to his younger brother. “I made it... I’m the sole survivor of the fall of the Fang Gang...” “Pharynx made it...” Blue snarled. “Everyone else made it...” He snarled, before pointing Hex’s crossbow at him. Blue snarled. “Go on...” Arthrax growled, before withdrawing his crossbow. He picked up his brother’s body. Blue watched as he walked away. Blue began crawling away from the brothers, moving towards the down side of the hill. He kept pulling himself towards Zenex’s body. He rested himself by the little nymph. He looked up to see a sunset rising. He smiled. He took a breath. “In Elysium's Fields, the roses grow Between the gravestones, row by row That mark our place; and in the stars Our sisters, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the bombs below We have perished, some time ago We lived, felt dawn, watched the sunset glow Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Elysuim’s Fields, in Elysuim’s Fields There’s no more quarrel with the foe Together we help each other grow The torch, be ours, to hold up high If ye break faith with us who’ve passed We shall not sleep, though roses grow In Elysuim’s Fields.” He smiled before he started to drift off to his eternal rest. He looked up to see a golden reformed changeling floating down to him. “Zenex..?” The changeling took his hoof before lifting Blue’s spirt from his body. He looked down to see the others running up to the two resting changelings. Blue looked up to see his body transforming into a golden reformed changeling. Zenex smiled as Blue landed in the Golden Fields of Elysium. ~~~ The Story Continues in Epilogue: Thou Sins Have Been Forgiven...
