//------------------------------// // Chapter 15: The Manticore/The Element of Kindness // Story: Miraculous Ponies: Origins // by MLPandMiraculousFanatic //------------------------------// We then see the 8 Creatures continuing their path with Ladybug and Twilight on the front as Rainbow Dash was explaining their first encounter. "And once Pinkie and Rarity were saved" Rainbow dash explained before making her first sound effect "Me and Fluttershy Loop-de-Loop around and WHAM!" Rainbow said making the catch noise unlike the snatch one from BFDI when someone catched them which would have been awesome. "Silver, you're getting ahead of yourself" Pinkie said while looking at the screen. "Sorry, anyway back to the story" I said playing the scene further. "Caught you right in the nick of time!' Rainbow called landing near Twilight. "Yes, Rainbow, I was there, and I'm very grateful, but we gotta---" Twilight started before being interupted as she and the 7 others saw an orange skinned Manticore with red hair and big parts of the wing while the small parts were orange making her gasp "A Manticore!" Twilight called as the Manticore roared angrily we've gotta get past him!" Twilight said. Then the 8 creatures except Fluttershy who was looking in worry and fear started making plans. "Okay to start off Rarity you kick his cheek no matter which one you gotta do it, Rainbow you spin around him after Applejack rides him cowpony style if it doesn't work Cat Noir will use his power to kill him, ready?" Ladybug asked. Then the seven heroes nodded before Rarity ran towards the Manticore as the Manticore wanted to scratch to which Rarity dodged before kicking him in his left cheek. "Take that you ruffian!" Rarity called before being roared in her face making her hair poofy "My hair!" Rarity called before zipping off. "Applejack you know what to do" Ladybug asked. "Ah sure do" Applejack said jumping onto the Manticore. "Wait..." Fluttershy called but no one listened. Then Applejack arrived on top of the Manticore before he started jumping. "YEE-HAW!" Applejack called when the Manticore started jumping "Git along, little dogie." Applejack called before being shot off the Manticore's back "Whoa!" Applejack called as soon as she went flying backwards "All yours, partner." Applejack called before being catched by Ladybug "Thanks miss." "I'm on it." Rainbow said speeding towards the Manticore. Then we saw Rainbow spinning around the Manticore making sure he's dizzy only to be knocked on the ground by it's tail. "Wait. Fluttershy called once more as she noticed Rainbow falling onto the ground. "Rainbow!" Twilight called. "Alright here goes!" Cat Noir called " " Cat Noir called as he then got some black stuff floating over his hand "Alright, here I go!" Cat Noir said before charging towards the Manticore. "Wait!" Fluttershy called but Cat Noir didn't listen. Then Cat Noir went near the Manticore but then it flew up as Cat Noir touched the rock causing pieces of rock to fall causing him to dodge them. "That isn't what I wanted" Cat Noir said. Then Ladybug yo-yo'd Cat Noir back to her team as Cat Noir and Rainbow then stood back up. "Alright if it doesn't work then there's only one way to solve this!" Ladybug called "CHARGE!!!" Ladybug called. Then the 7 of the heroes started running before Fluttershy went in front of them. "WAIT!" Fluttershy called stopping everyone in their tracks making Fluttershy go up to the Manticore who prepared to scratch her only for Fluttershy to muzzle his paw with her nose "Shhh... It's okay." Fluttershy said after nuzzling the Manticore as he then showed the paw he was hurt at "Oh, you poor, poor little baby." Fluttershy said making everyone confused. "Little?" Rainbow asked. "Fluttershy in case you forgot he's a big one and with that I mean huge!" Ladybug said before the Manticore roared back at Ladybug "Sorry little one" Ladybug said slowly walking up to the Manticore just in case. "Now this might hurt for just a second." Fluttershy said slowly pulling out the thorn making the Manticore hold her in his arms and roar angrily at her. "Fluttershy!" Everyone called at once. But expect the unexpected since instead of being eaten alive Fluttershy was licked on the hair by the Mantiore. "What a relief" Ladybug said. "You're just a little ol' baby kitty, aren't you? Yes you are, yes you are." Fluttershy said happy to be licked. "Cat Noir I think you should transform, give your Kwami some Camembert and then return" Ladybug suggested. "Right let me just lay down in the rocks" Cat Noir said. "Alright in the meantime I've got some food for us just to make sure we don't starve" Pinkie said pulling out an picnic basket and more before putting them all down "There you all go" Pinkie said. A few hours later Cat Noir returned. "I'm back" Cat Noir said "We can go now" Cat Noir suggested as he began walking off. "Alright" Pinkie said before putting everything in her hair. Then everyone stood back up before going further on the road. "By the way, how did you know about the thorn?" Twilight asked. "I didn't. Sometimes we all need to be shown a little kindness." Fluttershy said walking further. Then Twilight thought before going further down the road as we then saw an thorn turning into an Nightmare Moon mist before zipping away.
