“Rainbow Dash”
Oh my sides! My sides! Damn, that was a good one! I can't believe that Gold Blitz was this funny! Heck, he's even insisting that what he told me was true! Like that wou—oh, my sides...! They hurt!
I waved a hoof at him to stop. I couldn't handle it any longer! Hahahah!
I wiped a tear. Damn... I hadn't had a good laugh in ages!
Claire called the three of us over. I jumped down from the wide comfy chair and went to another room where my nostrils smelt something pretty darn delicious. D-damn... I feel my mouth is starting to water... When was the last time I smelt something so so good?
Jay pulled a wooden chair and asked me to sit on it. I rolled my eyes before climbing up. Sheesh, I could have pulled it by myself, y'know. After I sat down, I saw him doing the same for Claire. What is this dude anyway?
We-well, whatever... There was a bowl of hot steaming noodles and a plate full of sparkling pancakes... I heard a chuckle. I turned and saw this Kronz dude.
“You're gonna flood the room if you keep that up, Dash,” he said before taking a huge bite of his pancakes.
I closed my mouth shut, and I felt a large pool of saliva inside, and a few bits streaming down my jawline... H-have I been drooling the whole time!? I swallowed...and I wasn't blushing from embarrassment!
Whatever! Food is important for now! I brought my two fore hooves on the table, and I dived at the delicious pancakes. While I was munching though, I saw the three monkey-like dudes staring at me. I stopped and stared at them while I was chewing. They were using those sort of metal thingies to hold their food.
Well, whatever. Good for you to have fingers than hooves. I dove back down.
Damn this three two-legged freaks! Haven't they ever heard of settling down after a good meal!? Ugh, I swear... If this is going to be a norm here, I'll bite their legs off!
We were running down the same stairs we used to climb back up earlier. Sheesh, what's the rush, anyway? If those blue ponies are to invade, isn't it safer to stay inside?
I-I mean, it's not that I'm scared of them! I'm just not able to fight them off! Not with my damaged wing, I couldn't... Ugh, it sucks to be unable to use my wings to fly...
Finally, we reached the ground floor of this weird house. Now to figure out what's all of the exci— “YOU!” I shouted when I quickly saw that two-legged creep standing at the door! I was about to run and tackle him or give him a one-two punch, but my tail got caught up into something. I glared at him as I tried to pull myself forward.
“Rainbow?” I heard Blitz's voice.
Sheesh, what the heck!? I looked back to see what's going on, only to see this Kronz dude was holding my tail!
“You know each other or something?” Jay asked.
I looked back at that creep and tried to pull myself forward. Damn, that skinny Kronz guy could hold me off!
I swear, when I get to you, you creep, you'll be so darn sorry!
“Something like that,” the creep said while staring at me with that stupid bored expression of his!
Grahh... “Let me go!”
“Rainbow,” Kronz knelt down so he could look at me at eye-level. I glared at him in return. “What's gotten into you?”
I opened my mouth to say something—anything—but none came... I blinked angrily as I looked elsewhere. W-why do I hate that Xilfer dude anyway? Did something happen? Did he do anything that made me hold a grudge against him?
I took a breath and exhaled as I took a side-glance on that small female...creature. At first I thought she was Scoots, but, as I fully turned my attention at her, I realized that she wasn't. Damn, how's Scootaloo doing anyway...?
I saw those two females whispering to each other, while the small one was looking at me. The older one looked at me, and then back at the small one. Are they sisters? I am not good at reading faces or whatever, but they look kinda identical.
And what the hay are those noises outside anyway!? It sounded almost like the war back home. Home... I wonder if Scootaloo's safe... I sighed as I hung my head low...
Darn it... I'm so confused!
“Rainbow?” I heard a quiet and squeaky voice. I looked up and saw the small female knelt down in front of my vision. She wore a small smile and her eyes were kinda red and teary. “Are you okay?”
I blinked. “Shouldn't I be the one asking you that, kid?” Of course I'm not okay... I sighed... Of course she wouldn't understand a single word I just said. I hung my head low again.
“We-well,” she spoke. I didn't bother looking at her. “I was really really scared when they took me, b-but I'm okay now.”
I blinked. What's...going on? I slowly raised my head, looking at her with a confused frown. She was still giving me a small smile though.
“I am with my sister. And I am with you again,” she nodded slowly, “so, I'm okay now.”
I stared at her, and that was the only thing that I did. I didn't even realize how quiet everyone else was. They were all staring at the two of us.
She...she... “...you can under...stand me...?”
She blinked and her small smile was gone. “Of course I can.” She said with confusedly and innocently.
B-but how? I thought...
I looked at everyone else. Jay and Kronz were both staring back at us with a deadpan. Claire was blinking, thinking, I dunno... That Xilfer guy stared at us with disinterest. That creep. The other three...
“Oh great!” one of the three exclaimed as he raised both his front—er—upper...arms...in the air. “We're trapped in here. Soldiers and weird mobs are outside killing each other. There's a blue giant lizard with wings destroying the choppers outside. And we have a kid and a weird blue horse-thing that can understand each other!”
“Zip it, Seth,” the creep turned to the paranoid dude. “I'm trying to think here.”
“Hey Seth,” another one called, “you forgot that we have a good lookin' chick here.”
Claire sharply turned her head at the guy and glared at him. The dude just grinned, and the other one as well, except for the paranoid one.
“You guys are crazy! We need'a get outta here!”
“You wanna die outside, then be my guest,” Xilfer calmly said as he walked towards the door and was about to grab the knob.
“Wait wait wait, okay okay, I'll calm down!”
A guy laughed. “So anyway, Xilf, what's the plan?”
“First,” creep dude took something out from his...uh...clothes...as he turned to Gold Blitz. He threw a black rectangular thing and Kronz barely caught it. “That's the evidence I was talking about earlier.”
“Evidence?” Gold and Claire asked at the same time.
“So...Jay,” the creep gazed at Gold, “from the way I see things here, you're the only one who knows how to stop and turn things back to normal, until Cortes could send the monsters back.”
“Wh-what?” Gold...or uh...Jay...seemed to be surprised.
He was about to say something more when the ground suddenly started shaking like crazy! That, and a very loud explosion almost made me go deaf.
The small girl lost her balance, but I caught her on my back. It's quite nice to have four hooves rather than two, I suppose. Looking around, the earth was still shaking, but Xilfer appears to be the only one who is standing calm and tall, as if nothing was happening! What the heck, this dude's confidence is ticking me off, and I don't even know why!
“What a bunch of amateurs,” he whispered, but I was able to hear it.
Seconds later and the earth stopped shaking. He turned to the door and opened it wide, enough for me to see outside as well from where I stood. The instant he opened the door, a large crystal-blue dragonic head roared a hoof's length away from him! Augh! It cried for help, but damn it, it's loud roar was echoing around the room.
There was a weird whistling noise, and then the dragon's side exploded and it was consumed by red, orange and black smoke.
Xilfer calmly closed the door and turned back to us. And he still kept that annoying calm face of his! “So, Jay, what's the plan?”
