Disaster

by Super-Stallion


Chaos at the Bar

Later after hours of walking me and Star shield were still walking down the dirt road to the Bar where Star thinks we can get some info on were to go to get to Ponyville, I groaned and grunted in frustration I was so hungry I felt like I could rip of Stars Flank and eat it.

I looked up at Star leading in front of me, "Hey Star shield when are we gonna get to this place you talked about earlier?" I asked.

Star looked back at me frustrated, "No closer then the other times you asked now come on I bet its right over this hill." he replied looking back up the road trotting a bit faster.

"Easy for you to say." I retorted then I got an idea and smirk then running a bit faster I jump right onto Stars back.

Star looked up at me angry, "What the hell are you doing?" he asked angrily.

I started to kick his sides, "Gidey up my little pony!" I yelled trying to make him go back to trotting but that wasn't happening for as soon as I said that he started to buck and rock me of his back making me fall to the ground, turning to me Star looked down at me.

"Get serious and come on we got to find that bar and get to Ponyville." he said turning around and continuing to walk up the hill, "the sooner were there the better."

I got up from the ground and followed behind Star and when we finally reached the top of that hill we looked further down the road to see a building with smoke coming out the chimney.

Star looked up at me and smirked, "See I told you now come on, we can get some information and maybe direction to Ponyville... and maybe something to eat." he said looking at me.

I smiled at those word and ran up next to my partner, "Lead the way my friend."

He shook his head, "I'm not your friend."

"Buddy?"

"No."

"Pal?"

"NO!"

We kept walking until we were in front of the building and got a good look at it, it would look like any bar you would see from old rundown wall to cracked window and that's just the place inside we could hear yelling and screaming and then suddenly a pony flies out the window and crashes onto the ground with a knife sticking out his back, don't worry the guy got back up and limped away.

Star watched as the guy limp away and then turned to see me at the door slowly opening it, "Hey wait a minute!" I said running next to him.

i let go of the door to let It close back and looked at me, "What is it now?"

"Are you sure about this I mean did you see that guy with the Knife in his back!" Star replied pointing to the pony still limping away.

i rolled my eyes, "Look we need to know were we are and the only way to do that is to get some information from here," i retorted pointing a finger at the door, "and besides you were the one who wanted to come her and I don't plan on wasting the whole time we walked here just to not do anything and aren't you hungry too?"

He was about to retort but then betrayed by his stomach that made a loud growl and I looked at him with a smirk and he rubbed his head, "Well yeah I'm hungry but what if something happens? he replied."

I scuffed, "Don't worry if there's trouble I'll handle it like I promise." I said then grabbing the door I burst it opened, "Waiter your finest table please!" I yelled through the bar then my eyes grew wide at what I was dealing with.

Sitting at every table in the room there was a pony that looked like something that came from hell itself and some other species as well, ponies carrying Knifes and big swords while wearing helmets and armor of all kinds, I saw a minotaur with a huge battle axe on his back with scars all over his body and one big scare going down his left eye.

At another table there was three griffons who didn't look to friendly the first one was carrying two twin sword across his belt and armor that was covered in furs of some unfortunate beast his feathers and fur matted, the second one had a hammer and he had a scare across his beak and the third I think is the leader because he was bigger had a big sword across his back and I mean big I even think it was as big as the minotaur's axe but I wasn't sure because the rest was out of view.

I gulped and leaned back slowly to Star, "Follow close behind me and whatever you do, do not show your fear." I said looking at Star and his horrified expression he nodded and we slowly went into the bar walking by table's everypony there staring right at us.

We manage to make it to the counter and sat down at the stools and relaxed then I looked up at the bartender pony and took back when I saw his face it was horrible he had a ear missing and he had no mane to speak of his muzzle was slightly twisted and he had a big wart on his cheek and his other side with no cheek at all his teeth in total view and a eye patch.

I stared at him for some time until, "What are you staring at you..." the bartender paused to lean in to look at me better, "...what in tartuse are you?"

I shook my head from my daze, "Uhh I'm just a wandering creature like anypony else here." I replied a bit nervous.

Star stared at me then at the bartender, "Excuse me sir you wouldn't happen to know how to get to Ponyville from her or at least have a map?" he asked just a nervous as I was.

"Hmm maybe if ya got the bits for it." he smirked.

Star sighed and levitated a bag onto the counter and opened it revealing a bunch of bits and set a few on the counter for him the bartender took the bits and started shuffling them like a greedy Mr. Scrooge, "Ehmm," Star coughed getting his attention back, "now for that Information."

The bartender then went under the counter and pulled out a rolled up piece of paper, "Here's a map you can have to navigate your way around, now can I do anything else for ya?"

"Yes If you could please bring me and my cohort here a drink and something to eat?" he asked.

He looked at me then back at Star, "What does he eat?" the bartender retorted and Star looked at me questionably.

"What do you eat?"

You know that was a good question Discord is both a dragon and a pony so maybe he can pretty much eat anything Spike could eat gems and there was hay for normal ponies, "Uhh I guess you could give me anything you would a pony I guess?" I answered deciding to try that first.

The bartender nodded and left leaving us alone, we sat there in silence for a while then Star looked up at me, "So could you tell me why you need to go to Ponyville?" he asked I rubbed my head.

"Well its not Ponyville per say that I need to get to its what beyond that you see there's somepony I need to see in Canterlot." I replied I thought telling the truth would be best better to make better trust although I think i'll keep the who part to myself.

Star raised a brow but shrugged, "Okay that sounds nice so when we get to Ponyville I guess we'll be going are separate ways then huh?" he said looking down at the counter.

"Yeah I guess but its for the better right," I said leaning in closer to Star, "Besides wouldn't you prefer to find that girl of yours?"

He blushed and turned away, "Yeah and when I do it'll be the best time of my life," Star said sighing and looking back at up at me, "and I hope you find who you looking for to Disaster."

I smiled then look to see the bartender come back with two sandwiches and drinks, "Here ya go lads Two dandelion sandwiches and some hard cider." he said and laid the meal before us.

I picked up my sandwich and looked at the flowers and stuff sticking out of it I look at Star who was eating his sandwich and then back at mine then I shrugged and took a bite, it wasn't that bad it tasted like a normal sandwich crunchy and filled with flavor even the flowers were good, "So what do we do now that we got are map?" I asked Star with my mouth full.

Star swallow his food, "We set our course and head to Ponyville." he said flatly then continued eating.

I nodded that sounded like a simple plan easy and quick shame though I thought this would end in a adventure oh well, continuing eating I scarfed down my sandwich until it was all gone then I worked on my cider true I never had a drink before but hey don't hate it till you try it.

But that was a mistake for the cider was a bit strong and I spited out to the side sadly I spitted it right into a ponies face, he turned to me with an angry scowl and rose up from his chair and looked at me.

"Oh uhh sorry about that, Umm would it help if I buy you a drink sir?" I said hopping to calm his anger but was answered by him pulling out a knife in his hoof and jumped at me it pointed at my face just before it could even touch me I grabbed his arm and threw him to the ground twisting his arm I made him drop the knife and looked at him with pure furry.

"Sir if you want to keep living you will go sit somewhere else." I said sinisterly pointing my claws at his throat, he nodded and letting him up I watched him walk to another part of the bar when he was gone I look around to see everypony watching I coughed and sat back down next to Star.

"You had to make a scene just when we were about to leave didn't you." Star sighed knowing as well as I that this could lead to trouble.

Suddenly I feel a hand on my shoulder and I look to see a bird hand on my shoulder and I look behind me to see the griffon leader with the big sword, "That was quiet the fighting moves you showed there boy you had that guy pinned in a minute." the griffon complemented with a gruff voice.

"Uhh thanks I had some practice." I replied and the griffon smirked.

"You wouldn't mind sparing with me now would you boy?" he said drawing his sword for me to see, it was a big sword wide and long it reached out all the way to the floor one side was flat and the other really sharp and well polished and had a dragon the stretched all the way down to the curved end that curved up to a certain point the end of the sword turned it a curved blade.

I looked from the sword to the owner, "Uhh that's a nice blade but I have to decline I only fight in self defense." I retorted turning back around but then turned again by the brute.

"Oh is that so well my boy lets say that your life was on the line what would you say then?" he said leaning in on me with his blade between me and him.

I closed my eyes and gently moved the blade from in front of me, "Well if that was the case," I said then I opened my eyes filled with anger again, "I would take that sword and shove it so far down your throat instead of dying you'll grow a bot belly."

The griffon turned back to the other griffons at the table and they got up and started to come over and he looked back at me, "Well looks like we got ourselves a tough guy, maybe you wont talk so big when I kill you and see what I can get selling you hide!" he yelled then charged at me with his sword over his head.

I flipped over the table just in time to avoid the sword crashing into the counter then reaching over it I clawed at his face scratching out his left eye and he screamed in pain like an eagle/lion then I looked to my left to see the griffon with the hammer climb over the table and charged at me swinging his weapon.

Ducking from the blow I charged at him and jabbed my claws into his chest forcing my hands in he screamed and fell to the side, I turned around to see the leader getting his sword out the wood and climbing over the counter he came at me again this time I grabbed the huge blade between my hands I pushed it back from me with the griffon trying to bring it down on my head.

I hear the sound of thumping behind me and look to see the other griffon charging at me with his twin swords, I closed my eyes expecting to be dead but reopened them to see the griffon with the hammer that the other griffon had smacked into his face and he fell to the floor in a bloody puddle I looked from the dead grif to Star who had the hammer.

"Is it always going to be like this with you?" Star asked I just shrugged and looked back up at the last griffon.

"You killed my team you will pay for this!" he yelled trying to force the sword down harder, feeling my strength failing I slowly slid my tail under the griffons back leg and grabbing him I pulled my tail causing him to fall back and let go of his sword that flew into the air.

Catching it I brought the curved end of the sword to his neck, "Okay if I let you go you have to go away and leave us alone alright?" I said he grunted and nodded in defeat then climbing back over the table I started to walk away with his sword until suddenly I hear screaming behind me and i turn around to see the griffon with a knife in his hand jump at me right over the counter.

Swinging the sword with all my might I hit him right into his midsection cutting him in half his drops of blood falling to my face and watched as his lower and upper body fell to the floor I breathed heavily and looked around the bar at everypony, "Well anypony else want to try and fight me?" I asked and everypony went back to their own business.

*****

Leaving the bar me and Star were walking down the road again Star looked up at me with the leader griffon sword slung over my shoulder, "Why did you bring that with you?" he asked.

I shrugged, "It looked cool and I'm getting tired of using my claws until I get better at using my powers I'm going to have to defend myself some how," I explained then looked at Star, "you surprised me though saving me with that hammer."

Star smirked, "Well your not the only one with fighting skills."

"Like how you tried to shoot those Changelings yesterday and missed every shot?"

"Shut up."
