The day was dim like any other day. Humid air stuck to HyperBltiz's yellow coat. He searched around as he did for the past two days. He really wasn't sure how long he wanted to be here. He had helped a few ponies, even saving one from a Hybrid. But why did he deny that he did when he spoke?
Hyper eyed the sky above as something flashed by. It was a green figure that flew close to the ground. It circled around and landed behind Hyper.
"HyperBlitz!" He heard a deep female voice.
He turned and saw a young lime green pegasus who wore glasses, and had a short blonde mane. Hyper stepped forward to her. "DawnShy? What are you doing here?"
"You know I come to Los Pegasus at least once a month. And I had to come find you after you flew off. Well, and my sister told me to go look, you know how ThunderCharm is."
"I'm sorry.... I just need some time to think." Hyper mumbled, really not sure of what to say.
"That's okay, I get it, I've gone through tough times. The guys followed you here. I think SpinningNote was spying on you." DawnShy said.
Hyper growled. "I can't believe they followed me here..... wait... yes I can, I understand that... but I can't believe Spinning would spy on me... wait, how do you know that, were you spying too?"
DawnShy eased away. "It's possible..."
Hyper shook his head. "Do you know where they are now?"
"I don't know." The green pegasus looked over Hyper's shoulder.
Hyper turned his head in the same direction. They both silenced themselves to hear the commotion coming from the other area. It sounded as if there was arguing. A deep voice called over others. Hyper stepped towards that way, he did see other ponies walking that way. He looked at DawnShy, and tilted his head, summoning her to go with him.
The two ponies walked around the corner and saw a crowd of ponies. They all watched another pony by a shop. It was a large gray earth-pony with short brown hair. His shoulders had metal plates covering them, with metal going down the back of his forelegs. Hyper wasn't sure if the metal was a part of him, or just armor. The gray pony glared down at a much smaller pony. He was a green colt with blue hair, the pony that Hyper saw playing a guitar.
"I'm sorry, I never meant to bother you." The colt feared as the large stallion gazed down on him.
"Sorry isn't enough. Your guitar playing distracts me from my work. It is so annoying, and it attracts all of these worthless ponies." As he said that, some of the ponies in the crowd shouted out. "And your music is useless, not that you are just a novice, but nopony needs music anymore! There is no time for such silly matter."
Hyper filled with rage as the stallion spoke. He slipped his glasses off his muzzle and handed them to DawnShy. Hyper wanted to shove himself through the crowd to get to him, but before he could another voice called out.
"Hey! You can't talk like that. Music helps ponies." It was a very familiar voice. A orange stallion placed himself to the angered pony. "Why do you have to be such a grump!" It was BlazingFlair who was the defender.
"And who are you to speak!" A smaller tan pony came towards them. "Everyone around here knows not to mess with SwitchGear. He knows the best of it all. And I agree that music is worthless now."
"Probably because you wouldn't listen to music much. And that colt is probably just trying to give some joy to others." Blazing replied.
"Joy?" The pony who was named as 'SwitchGear' snapped. " It annoys me and all of my allies. And he has been stealling plants from my brothers garden. He doesn't pay with anything. He is a theift."
"You can't say that we have all stolen something at least once!" BlazingFlair angsted.
Blazing was the bulkiest of Hyper's friends, but the other pony was still much larger then him, and the armor on his shoulders would make him much stronger.
Irritated, SwitchGear pushed BlazingFlair back with his metal hooves. Hyper then flashed with anger. He was annoyed by such actions, and slammed his way through the crowd, even if they yelled back to him. HyperBlitz hit his hoof on the ground by the stallions.
"No one pushes my friends around!" He growled.
The gray pony turned to him. "Oh really? Haven't you heard my brother, no pony messes with me. Including that colt, this ignorant carrot, and you!"
"He is NOT ignorant." Hyper sneered, pushing his muzzled up to the enemy.
"HyperBlitz..." BlazingFlair murmured.
"And the colt only wants to help others. He doesn't do anything for himself. He probably steals things so he can stay alive! I can relate to him.... not much of the stealing part, but helping ponies."
SwitchGear turned to the colt that shivered down. "He shouldn't even have a guitar."
"My father gave me that guitar before...." Hyper saw the colt's eyes fill with sadness. "If you really don't want me here, I can go play somewhere else."
"And bother other ponies?"
"No!" Hyper shouted out to the green colt. "You need to stand up for yourself."
The colt got to his hooves. "I won't bother others! Some ponies out there might believe me! You think you can boss others around. I've seen you yell at all of these ponies."
SwitchGear gave a little smirk. "Because I can boss others around. They all no that." He eyed the crowd and saw DawnShy. "And that mare there had stolen stuff from my brothers garden too."
DawnShy backed away and the crowd rioted up.
"Stop it!! Stop picking on ponies." The colt shookhis head. "And I bet all of these ponies would rather hear me play guitar then hear your ugly voice."
"Really." The older stallion pushed his way to see the acoustic guitar laying on the ground. He took his right covered hoof and crashed it into the neck of the guitar, breaking it in half.
"NO!" The colt yelled out with tears springing from his eyes. "No, no!" He hit his hooves repeatedly on the stallions chest.
SwitchGear took his hoof under and hit the the colt on the belly and throwing him in the air. The whole crowd the fired up. All of the ponies shouted.
"That's it!" Hyper broke. He took his hoof and smacked it across the pony's face. "First you push my friend around, then destroy an instrument, now hurt a colt. You are going to feel the pain!"
Though HyperBlitz yelled, he could barely hear himself over the roar of the crowd. Hyper hovered above, and kicked SwitchGear's chin with his back hooves. The gray pony's eyes flashed and he circled his forelegs around Hyper's back leg, and pulled him down from his flight, into the hard ground. The pegasus watched his mouth move, but he could hear no words. Hyper slid downwards, onto his left side. He pushed his mechanical wing upwards and cut into the opponent's belly.
He got hit to the side of the concrete as the warm blood hit his shoulder. SwitchGear bared his teeth like a stray animal, and shouted, though all of the ponies voices over spoke him. As Hyper was pinned down, he turned his head upside down, scanning the crowd. Some ponies went toward the colt, other yelled and the brother of SwitchGear, and some even shouted to each other. Hyper took his knee to the left the pushed the gray fiend away.
Hyper's head spun and he saw many ponies even calling to him and his fighter. "Shut up!" He growled. His eyes did catch sight of BlazingFlair, and some of his other friends, like CharmingRhythm and EchoBeat.
"Shut up!" He repeated. Nopony listened.
A burning feeling raged in Hyper's chest, and raised to his throat. "SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
And the ponies slowly came to silence. The all glance at him.
"Just stop! Everyone, now. The world does not need this. We should help each other. I see only a few helping the poor colt. No pony is helping me!" He spun toward the gray stallion. "If you are such a hater, stop making more problems. Take your hate, and your fucking fat ass somewhere else."
As he said that a pony in the crowd murmured. "Ohhh, buuurnn."
Other ponies came up to SwitchGear pulling him away. HyperBlitz walked to the green colt, and watched his miserable eyes. He sat down next to him and placed his hoof on him. The colt still held his hooves to his stomach.
"Are you okay?"
"That was my... dad's guitar." A tear fell from his face.
Hyper took his red hoof and wiped away his tear. "I think we can fix it."
The green child looked up to Hyper with his lip still quivering. He then looked to he side.
Hyper saw a shadow come over his shoulder. His brown eyes watched a cream pony staring at him. EchoBeat then stepped up to the side of FeatherTune. Hyper saw all of his friends watch him. They looked at him, almost thankful to see him, and see him comforting a pony, a stranger to all of them. They then understood how much he just wanted to help.
