There will be blood

Hope you all enjoy this chapter! I tried to make it longer than the ones I have been putting out.

Chapter 46: There will be blood


As the bright flash subsided, I rubbed my eyes. Attempting to get rid of the small sting from the level of light caused during the trip. It didn't seem to go away. I wished for it to go away in the back of my mind and to my surprise, it did. I shook my head a bit and looked around.

Tried to anyway.

'SMASH'

I instantly have the wind knocked out of me and thrown onto the ground. I open my eyes and notice something on my chest. A hoof. A strange looking hoof. I followed the hoof up to a body. I instantly let a smile overcome my features. I tried to speak but then realized how bad I really got hit. He looked down at me for a moment and I swear he smiled. Not sure how.

"CJ!" Yelled Hecarim while offering a hand.

I gladly took the offer and he pulled me to my feet. I took a moment to catch my breath.

"Celestia be damned dude that hurt." I told him sucking in air.

He shrugged.

After I caught my breath I looked around.

'Where is Shy and S-'

ZZZZZzzzzzz

I look up at a white light just in time to see the two objects flying towards me before being knocked off my feet, and giving them clear range to land on my chest and again, knock the air out of me.

Scoots was the first to notice who she landed off and giggled. "How many times has a pony fallen on you?"

I shrugged and wheezed out. "Lost... count...."

She laughed and got off me. Shy did next and helped me up.

'Wait.... where is Ta-'

Flash of light....

This time I jump to the left and hold out my arms.

'SLAM'

He lands right on me and I hit the ground once again.

'I swear this universe loves fucking with me....'

Tank quickly got off of me. I sat there for a moment longer not moving.

"CJ. Are you alright?" Asked Shy.

I lifted up a finger. "Yeah.... yeah.... I'm fine... just... let me stay here... for a bit, k?" I said trying to catch my breath.

I then hear Shy chuckle a bit, and in curiosity I look up just in time to see Hecarim fire a blue bolt of flames at me. I flipped out, jumped up, and ran behind a big rock.

I heard them laughing. I stood up.

"That wasn't funny! That could have really hurt me!" I yelled at the laughing bunch.

Hecarim shook his head. "No... it was illusion flames. It would have done nothing but tickle you." He said and began laughing again.

I rolled my eyes.

He motioned for us all to follow him. So we did. It was silent for a while. Other than the occasional snicker. A few more minutes passed by and I decided to break the silence.

"So... Hec, how are you? I mean.... really. Last time I saw you you.... died." I said with a sheepish smile.

He nodded. "Yes I was. But a shadow of war can never die. Where there is violence, there will always be the shadow of it's fights. And under the circumstances, I think me being here is a good thing. that I'm on your side anyway." He finished.

I looked back and forth between Hecarim and Shy.

"Uh...... what happened in the short while I was gone..."

They looked at me like I was insane. "Short?" Said Hecarim. "Short time? You have been gone for two weeks. We have been searching for you endlessly. Then A few days ago Fluttershy and Scootaloo here go missing as well. And it doesn't help we need to send so many search parties out when we need them on the battlefronts."

Now I was really confused. The two weeks thing ya. I expected the time to be different between worlds. But what is he talking about. What fight? Did someone steal a sweet role?

"Ok.... what is going on? Fill me in!" I said to Hecarim.

Everyone stopped and turned to me. I began to dread the answer.

"You haven't told him?" Asked Hecarim.

Shy shook her head. "I had a lot on my mind...."

He sighed and looked at me. "CJ... Luna is missing."
