Fighting the final boss! 'sort of'

Chapter 6: Fighting the final boss! 'sort of'

I slowly began to regain my senses. First my taste, where I could taste a hint of bitterness in my mouth. Next was touch. All I could feel was coldness throughout my body. As the rest of my senses came back to me I looked around to see everything was black. After what felt like hours everything lit up revealing very small stone brick room with a single door. I walked up to the door and pushed it open. Just more darkness. As I began to turn around, I was sucked into the door which slammed shut and I began to fall. Finally hitting the ground.... but on a 'soft' kind of ground.

'Where the hell am I?'

"Hehehehe.... oh wouldn't you just love to know that?"

I twirled around to just see more black. I began to panic as I could feel coldness moving up my spine every so often. I began to get a little more than annoyed. Finally everything brightened up and I was standing on a grassy field just outside ponyville.

'Uhhh...k?'

I began making my way to ponyville only to be pushed back to the ground.

"Ah ah ah! I can't let you go back just yet."

Ok, I was annoyed before but now I'm just getting pissed off.

"I want to play a bit of a game. It's called, survive."

"Wow, real original."

There was a dead silence after that that was broken shortly after.

"Well then, for that remark I wont go easy on you."

"Easy on m-" I was cut off when a shadow-like figure in the shape of a human appeared in front of me and punched me in the chest.

I collapsed on the floor and tried to catch my breath that had been taken from me.

"This is easier than I thought, this will be over soon enough so I can take care of that bitch Flutter sh-"

I cut him off as my anger exploded and I threw my right fist towards him and made contact with his face. He seemed taken aback by this. All I was thinking is how I had done it, he was a shadow! I looked down at my fists and saw a yellowish orange light illuminating from them. The only thing I could think of at the time was when the shadow collided with me.

'Did he bring some of Tia's magic to me...'

The shadow looked a bit worried then shook off the feeling and ran at unimaginable speeds towards me and grabbed me by the throat. Slowly he picked me up and began strengthening his grip.

'Hm... well shit.'

Just as everything began to go black, a pink blur flew past me and tackled into the shadow. I fell to the ground coughing. Then looked up to see the shadow on the ground with...

"P-P-Pinkie?? How did y.... you know what... never mind."

She looked up at me and smiled.

"Well, you made a Pinkie promise, so I had to make sure you kept it!"

I looked at her as the shadow under her began to squirm and blasted her off his chest. I ran over and helped Pinkie up and whispered in her ear.

"Pinkie... that shadow guy over there? He stole my cupcakes..."

At that moment her mane deflated and she turned around. I couldn't see it but I almost thought the shadow was scared.

"No one, NO ONE takes away my friends CUPCAKES!" At the end of that she blasted at speeds easily double the shadow's and made impact with his chest.

I heard a low grunt as the dark pink pony picked the shadow up in her teeth and looked back at me and smiled, perking her mane up a little.

"BE RIGHT BACK!" Then poof, she was gone.

I sat there for a moment before she appeared beside me watching me look at the spot she once was.

"Whatch'ya lookin at?"

I basically did a backflip of fear and turned to her then calmed down.

"Uh Pinkie... where did you.. uh... put him?"

She thought about it for a moment and looked back at me smiling.

"I have NO IDEA!" She was staring at me like she had just done the greatest thing since sliced bread.

"Uh... really? You don't? Is he dead?"

She looked me up and down then replied. "Oh silly, you don't look hurt to me! Now come on, lets get some cupcakes!"

I sat there staring at her. Just staring.

'B-But...I-...she....HUH?! Ok, you know what? FUCK gravity, FUCK time, and FUCK physics, she is fucking PINKIE PIE! SO SHUT UP BRAIN'

As we made our way to ponyville I looked over at Pinkie who was eating a cupcake. I was ALMOST about to ask her how she got it, but I was pretty sure the world was close to imploding on it self because of the last few minutes. So I let it slide. When we got to Ponyville I looked around at all of the ponies staring wide eyed at me.

'I think by now they are thinking I am death or something'

"Oh that's silly, its still the same old you!"

"Ok, Pinkie, enough of that! The fourth wall is probably ready to end it self, stop toying with it like its a...well....toy!"

She looked at me and gave me a curious look.

"The fourth wall still exists? Huh... I better start backtracking from eight then..."

That was it, I had enough of this, before the world implodes I need to get away from her. I turned around and ran towards Flutter shy's.

She yelled back to me as I ran. "Ok! I'll see you in eight hours thirty two minutes and fi-"

"Pinkie I swear to Celestia!"

"Okie-dokie-lokie, bye CJ!"

'Gah, finally.'

I made it to Flutter shy's house and knocked on the door, no one answered so I opened it. I made my way up the stairs to her room where I could hear faint sobbing. So I opened the door. She looked up and her eye's went wide.

"So, about that dinner?"
