The Recluse
Chapter 30
_______________________________________________________________________________
Hyper Hamster, Fuzzy Ferret, Cutie Mouse and Tim, incidentally a cat, were in their underground meeting room, sitting on their chairs.
"I wonder where Angel and Miss Rabbit are..." Fuzzy wondered.
"Well, maybe you'd have a clearer idea if you went with them," Tim suggested.
"You're joking, right? I don't go with aliens!"
"It's very possible..." Hyper said, adding a mysterious tone to his voice, "They're travelling in time... and could come back any minute... OLD AND WRINKLED!"
Fuzzy and Cutie gasped. Tim's face dead-panned.
"Or as young as they were 3 minutes ago, the last time we saw them! Which would beg the question, why Fuzzy is being so worried about them so soon?"
"Well, I-" Fuzzy began...
"And the answer is that he is extremely paranoid, an overly obsessive conspiracy theorist, and our favourite woodland creature afraid of donkeys! And we are going to tell him, he can believe in aliens, but he shouldn't jump to conclusions that they're gonna do evil things to him!"
"We-"
"You can believe in aliens, but you shouldn't jump to conclusions that they're gonna do evil things to you," Hyper said... "Understand?"
"...No?" Fuzzy replied.
"Well, I tried." Hyper said, shrugging.

"How are you meant to play Rock Paper Scissors with hooves?" Leeroy asked Dave.
"I dunno. You just do, I guess." He replied. "Why were we even trying to play Rock Paper Scissors in the first place?"
"I... don't know..."
Light walked to the group of ponies. There was Dave, Leeroy, and Ditzy, who was just watching with a dumbstruck look on her face.
"We-" Light began...
"Melon." Leeroy said.
...
...
...
...
"No 'It's time for you to leave, Gonzalo?'" He asked.
"Can I shoot this guy?" Dave asked.
"No, Dave," Light replied, "Then my novel won't have an antagonist."
"...Ugh..." Dave groaned, "What're you planning to do anyway?"
"Well, long story short, you, John and Leeroy here need to go inside the book, as that would be very nice."
"Well... I'm up for it." Dave said.
"...Really." Leeroy said. "You're gonna choose confinement over freedom?"
"Well, it is very nice to do this... plus, we're stuck on a weird forest planet that is awesome to look at. Not our habitat, is it?"
"...Maybe... I like it..." Leeroy defended, weakly.
[No you don't.]
...And what exactly is meant to be going on here?
{Well, Yellow Box got bored of being in only one fic, so he decided to come here. It was Pinkie Pie who gave him the idea.}
[Yeah.]
Well... you belong to me... and I'll never let you go... MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
[Aw.]
Leeroy felt a poking in his neck.
Did I suddenly become the main character?
He looked behind him, to see the Unavenged Stallion standing there.
"If you will not enter the book, we will have to force you in." He said.
"...No." Leeroy replied.
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"No..."
Leeroy was then punched in the face.
"Yes."
"...Fine, force me, I'm not going down without a fight."
"...Or you could have a fight... sure..." Light said to himself, before walking back the group to watch.
Unavenged positioned himself into a fighting stance, while Leeroy floated slightly above the ground.
The two watched each other for a while.
Nice music.
John teleported in front of him, attempting to stab him with his horn, Leeroy grabbed his head with one forehoof, and punched him repeatedly in the gut with the other, before sending him back with a mental blast. Leeroy's tuxedo dissolved in flames and changed into a form of organic armour, blades sprouting from the forelegs.
John cracked his neck, and, using magic, fired dark blasts at Leeroy. Leeroy blocked by projecting a mental shield, allowing John to teleport behind him, and slash at him with his Razor-tail. Leeroy's organic armour seemed to offer slight protection from it, but it left some scratches.
Leeroy hovered into the air, and started to throw psychic blades at John, who deflected them using his tail, before using his mechanical wings to fly over at him. Leeroy prepared to attack him, until John teleported and made another back-attack, then Leeroy's head 180'd, as did the rest of his body a second later, and he disappeared, with two projected copies flying in to tackle John.
John flew downwards, before flying back up to attack with a tackle, hitting both Leeroy's with one of them dissipated, the other, presumably the real one, taking the hit.
Light watched, a little bit in awe as he gets to see his characters fight in real life. He took a look around and realized something...
"...Where's Dave?" He asked.
Leeroy grabbed John, and threw him at a tree. John's wings got momentarily stuck in the wood, and he tried to push himself off of the tree. Leeroy saw this as an oppurtunity, and hovered over to John, and, using his own horn, made a stab attempt at John, who held at Leeroy's head to keep the horn away from himself. The horn managed to scratch his shoulder.
Getting desperate, Leeroy shoved his hoof at John's throat, now attempting to strangle him, while still trying to stab him with his horn. Leeroy felt water hit his back-left leg. He was momentarily distracted, looking at Ditzy, who had just used a water pistol that the Doctor had for some reason. John punched him in the face while he was distracted, with enough force to knock a built stallion out. Leeroy fell to the ground, and John landed next to him.
Leeroy wasn't knocked out, rather dazed.
"Arrggkblbleegghhh..." He murmured.
John's horn began glowing, as he levitated the book between himself and Leeroy. The horn's glow intensified, until it caused a flash. After it subsided, the book was lying on the ground, by itself, safe for a bunch of plants that were near it.
Fluttershy started walking closer and closer to it. She looked at the book for a moment.
Suddenly, the book opened, and a transparent red foreleg burst from it, and grabbed her by the throat.
"No!" Light yelled, running over to Fluttershy, trying to close the book. It seemed as if some force was pulling it open. The Doctor ran over, to help him. Ditzy tried pulling Fluttershy away from the book. The hoof's grip started tightening. The book closed a little, causing the hoof to lose grip, and Fluttershy fell down, gasping heavily for breath. As the book was almost closed, Leeroy's ethereal voice boomed out of the book in a mocking tone,
"Forget something!?" The voice proceeded to laugh maniacally, until the book closed fully.
Everyone took a few minutes to recover from the incident...

Author's Notes
Alrighty... this arc is almost finished...
I'll be honest... I think the reason I don't care how ridiculous things get in this is probably because...
I'm either not enjoying this part in particular, or I'm not enjoying the fic.
Probably the former, because I really want to continue this.
If I feel bad about this, though, I'll take a break for a while.
Sorry to leave you hanging there...
I guess I'm bored...
Oh, well. A fight scene will suffice until the final part of the arc happens.
P.S: If you liked the battle music I put up, here's the original version.
Bye.
