//------------------------------// // Bass Cannon Some Bitches! // Story: My perfect world // by Lonepone //------------------------------// Not knowing what to do, I blindly listen to him, and get behind him. I look at Derpy, and she looks happy that this pony has arrived. I look closer at him (and it is a stallion), and I can make out his basic features. White coat, a light green mane, and a horn. He’s a unicorn. But then he flares out his wings and flies into the room. Impossible. Stallions can’t be Alicorns, can they? I’ve never heard of one. Now that he’s in the room, with the sun no longer behind him, I can make out his cutie mark. A white 1, outlined in green. He looks at us, looks over at Derpy, nods at her, and then back at Runner. Not saying a word. His horn glows white, and I can feel myself being lifted into the air. I look at the others, and they’re all suspended in a white aura also. I struggle against it, but it’s pointless, his grip is too strong. I look around the house looking for something I can use, but I find nothing other than the furniture. I try to pick up the sofa using my magic, but it’s too heavy. I can do complicated things with my magic, but I don’t ever have a lot of power behind it. I look at Derpy, who’s concentrating so hard her face turned red. I don’t know what she’s trying to do, but then the green cell thing disappeared. She falls heavily to the ground, then walks over to the new comer. “Glad to see you’re back, Walker” She says to him, Walker. He looks over at her, nods, and ruffles her mane. He still hasn’t said anything, a fact that Derpy has picked up on. “What’s wrong, Boss?” He shakes his head no, and then looks back to Runner, pointing one hoof at him. Runner laughs. “Ooh, a hoof. Scary! What you gonna do? Shoot lightning bolts? Good luck, Emperor” At that, Walker just smiles. He lifts his hoof violently, and Runner is sent flying into the ceiling. He falls back down heavily, and picks himself up off the ground. “Still too weak” He says, spitting out blood. He runs at walker, tackling him out the gaping hole in the wall. I struggle against my restraints, trying to free myself, but it’s useless. I hear a muffled explosion from outside, and I fall to the ground, free. I get up, and sprint over to the hole in the wall. I see Walker slowly getting up off the ground, with Runner standing above him, smiling insanely. I’m starting to doubt my choice to bring him back with me. Runner takes a step forward, coming within striking distance of him, and Walker slides onto his back, and tries to push himself backwards away from him. Runner lunges forward, and tries to grab him. Walker falls backwards, and then tries to kick his legs out from under him. Runner takes a step back, and then stomps hard onto Walker’s outstretched leg. The crunch is audible from up here on th second story of the house. I look at his leg, and I can see the bones sticking out of it. Derpy dives downwards out of a cloud, heading straight for Runner. She’s going to fast to stop and land safely, but then I realize that she’s intending to use Runner’s body to break her fall. Runner advances on Walker, oblivious to the gray missile heading right for him. Runner picks Walker up by the shoulders, and holds him out at arm length. Runner then slams Walker to the ground, and then laughs he tries to get up. That laugh is cut short when Derpy almost crashes into him. At the last moment, Runner takes a step back, grabs Derpy around the neck, and slams her head first into the ground. Her body bounces back up into the air once, and then falls back down, not getting up. By this time, I know that I made a mistake in trusting Runner. If he was the good guy he said he was, he would’ve held back a little on how viciously he attacked them. And how could Derpy be a bad person? I look around, trying to find some way to help, but theres nothing I can do. I jump down from the hole in the wall, not caring about my own safety anymore. I have a feeling that if this isn’t stopped soon, the fighting between these three will start to damage other ponies property. And as if I can predict the future with my thoughts, Runner proceeds to pick up Derpy’s unconscious body, and throw her through the wall of the neighbor’s house with so much force that she probably goes through a second interior wall. I land, and I can feel the shock of it travel up my legs. I twist one of my knees, but I rush forwards to Walker, knowing that much more will be at stake than just a twisted knee if I don’t hurry. I slide to a stop next to Walker, while Runner is occupied with Derpy, and whatever may be in that house. I try and get him to sit up, and I see that he’s unconscious. I shake him, even though that’s probably not good for someone with head trauma, but what else can I do? He eventually opens his eyes, and the first they focus on are me. His hooves reach up and grab me, instinctively defending himself. He sees it’s me, and relaxes his grip. So he’s not the bad person that Runner made him out to be. He goes limp for a moment, and my arm around his back takes nearly all his weight. He rolls off my arms, and tries standing up, forgetting about his broken leg. He gets up, and then collapses, his leg unable to support him. Unable to walk, he tries dragging himself towards Runner. Bass is by my side now, having taken the stairs down instead of jumping, and drapes one of Walker’s arms over his shoulder, helping him limp along. I take the other one, taking some of his weight. We walk him into the building that Runner and Derpy disappeared in, looking for anyone. I see a small child on the steps leading to the upstairs, and I tell it to go outside, and take it’s parents with it. Walker gets out of our grip, and his leg is already healed somehow. We stand there for a moment, surprised, before following. He leads us on, going through the multiple holes through the walls in this house. How hard did he throw her? We walk out of the first house, and walk into a second house. The outer wall is also smashed, but the second wall is just severely cracked. We can see blood stains from where a body was dragged. We follow the stains, and they lead to the basement of the house. There, we find the comatose body of Derpy. I check for a pulse, and it takes me awhile to find one, and when I do, it’s weak and off beat. “I’ll take her back” I say, picking her up in my arms. She’s heavy, but in a dead-weight type of way. I tell myself not to think like that, but I can’t help it. I walk out the front door, and walk down the sidewalk back to my house, Derpy in my arms. Everypony in the general area knows something is happening, and they’re hiding in their houses. I look down at the almost dead pegasi in my arms. She looks so peaceful, just laying there, as though she doesn’t have a care in the world. I check her pulse again as I walk in the front door. It’s gone. “Help!” I shout. “Lyra,come here, I might need your help” I hear everyone rush to where I am. I walk as quickly as I can into the living room, and lay her down on one of the sofa. I know what I’m going to try and do, I learned it in a college class I went to to get a few extra credits. I have to use my magic to jumpstart her heart. I’ve never been good at this, though. I focus, but all I manage to do is make a little spark that singes a little fur. Lyra’s right next to me now, along with everypony else, so I let them take over. I run to the storage room on the first floor, looking for a certain device of mine. I find it, and power it up, hearing the familiar bass hum of it. Time to find Runner, and Bass Cannon some bitches.
