//------------------------------// // Ch 4 Punch It // Story: The Crab Who Was Summoned to Equestria // by Scootaboom1 //------------------------------// Craysan I had been living in Equestria for just under two years now. While I would occasionally spend the period of time in Seaquestria I enjoyed spending time in Ponyville. While I enjoyed the liveliness of the hippogriffs and sea ponies, but it was simply to much for me for a prolonged time. Ponyville on the other hand only had the occasional issue involving a monster from the Everfree Forest. I could handle such things myself, and as a result I have become quite well liked. Though there had not been any major threats since I had arrived. I was honestly glad about that. Even if I did enjoy a good boss fight I would much rather live a peaceful life. Sometimes I would be join expeditions to parts unknown since I had gained the needed skills in YGGDRASIL. Because of my strength I was kept up to date with important matters. This is why I had been informed of it. A meteor was falling to Equestria, and the speed of impact would be catastrophic. They had been trying to see if they could stop it with magic, but they have not been working out. According to what they have learned there is a living thing in there. I want to help my friends. But is there anything that I can do? ... ... ... What am I talking about, of course I can. Twilight Sparkle My friends and I were discussing what we could do about the meteor and the so called tarrasque inside it. We were about to call for Discord when he appeared. I asked if he could stop the meteor from destroying Equestria. Discord chuckled and said, "I don't need to do anything. In fact, Craysan should be flying up to punch it right now." Discord looked at a sundial drawn on his wrist as he said that. I sighed in releaf before the realization hit me. "He's doing WHAT!?" I looked out the window and saw a speck flying towards the meteor at incredible speed. Craysan As I flew towards the meteor I looked to my thin pincer. Using one of my skills it bulked up to the size of my torso. I then equipped my gauntlet and started preparing various buffs. I pulled my arm back. As the distance between me and the meteor decreased I began to throw my punch. Twilight Sparkle Massive cracks appeared in the meteor and it's decent slowed. When it finally reached the ground it had landed in a clear area. There was a rumble from it landing but it was far better than it could have been. But Craysan was directly under it. Later on... I couldn't believe that Craysan has died, and all we had for the funeral was an arm. While I would want this gathering to just be a celebration of my students pacifying the tarrasque. Though given that we only got that far thanks to his sacrifice. Looking over the ball room I saw the many creatures gathered here to celebrate. Tapping a glass I called for all their attention. Clearing my throat I said, "We gather here to celebrate six young heroes. But before that I would like to commemorate Craysan who gave his life to slow the meteors' decent..." Craysan enters the room and said, "I died. Why didn't anyone tell me." I felt my eye twitching. How? I asked Discord why he said Craysan was dead. Discord said that he only found the arm and nothing else, not that he confirmed Craysan was dead. When I asked Craysan how he got a new arm he looked confused and he said that he was a giant crab creature. When I asked what he meant by that he regrew limbs. Before anyone could react he cut off on of his arms. This caused everyone to gasp but before we could react he leaned forward while growning as a new arm shot out of his body. From somewhere in the room I could hear Gallus say, "I like this guy."
