//------------------------------// // Wind vs. Nature // Story: Continuing the Dream // by Blue Breeze //------------------------------// Author's Note: Several things to go through this time. The story has just hit 2000 views, and I thank all of my viewers for that. This is also the first chapter of the story to pit power against power. I hope all my years of watching super crazy action anime can help me out here. Lastly, for those who don't check my blog, I went and made a mare version of Blue Breeze. Go check it out. Now, on with the story. "Look, I don't want to fight you." I tell the mare. Let's hope my mouth can actually save me for once. "Then don't fight, it'll make it easier and more fun for me. You'll make excellent fertilizer for the plants. You're already full of dung(I know it sounds lame, but I don't feel like using human swears)." She starts sending out vines after me. The first one scratches my right cheek, and I immediately start dodging. "Woah! Hey! Watch it!" While I'm not looking, another vine comes up from below, wraps around my waist, picks me up, and slams me down hard, leaving cracks in the ground. Okay, screw talking my way out of this. Play time is over. I get up and crack my neck. "You wanna play rough? Fine. Let's do this!" I was always thinking the first pony with powers I'd go up against would be Ice. That's not gonna happen now. "Gladly." she starts throwing more vines my way. I start flying towards her, dodging all the vines. Right before I can get to her, a vine shoots up from the ground and forces me back. The direct approach isn't going to work. I charge up my wings again and start firing more waves towards her. She dodges them without a scratch. I try blowing large gusts of wind to try and hold her back, which works at first, until she grows some vines to keep her hooves tied to the ground. "Let's see your little wind trick work now." her hooves start glowing again as four large vines wrap around my legs and start pulling in seperate directions. 'I've gotta do something, or she's gonna rip me to pieces!' I feel the vines start pulling even harder, stretching my limbs farther than limbs should stretch. Out of desperation, I try angling my wings and fire once more. "What?!" The first misses her, but the second grazes her side. The vines around my legs let go and I take off to find cover in the trees. Looks like I'm on the defensive for once. I don't like it. I hide in the trees for a bit, sweating and breathing heavily. Suddenly, I feel a vine wrap around my neck and yank me out of the tree. "You really thought hiding would work? I can sense everything through the plant life." I start feeling the vine tighten around my throat, choking me out and making my face more blue than usual. At least this is easy to get out of. I shoot another wave and cut off the vine. "And you really thought some overgrown weeds could kill me?" "Enough! I'm tired of dealing with you." her entire body starts glowing. This can't be good. The ground starts shaking immensely. "What's going on?!" An incredibly large venus flytrap immerges from the ground, it's mouth gaping to show the vines it has for teeth. "Meet Rosebud!" You've gotta be bucking kidding me! The plant grabs me and I start struggling to escape, but to no avail. It chucks me inside it's mouth and closes shut. Man, this place smells worse than an outhouse. I start slamming into the walls of the creatures mouth, but it does nothing. "That'll teach him to mess with me." the plant starts showing signs of discomfort. "Rosebud, what's wrong?!" The giant flytrap's mouth bursts open in a ton of guts from my cutting it from the inside and I fly out. No more of this. I'm going to end this with one of my most powerful moves. A move that combines the Blue Typhoon with the Wing Waves. I start flapping as fast as I can. I then start building energy in my wings while still flapping. Dozens of waves start shooting out and cut the plant monster as it thrashes in pain. "SLASH STORM!" I shout. I do enjoy having these attack names. The beastly plant eventually explodes from the amount of attacks I shoot at it. "ROSEBUD!" Vinetion shouts. I've got to end this fight fast, that last move really took it out of me. I begin flying full force towards the mare. She doesn't notice me and I glomp her. We roll around before I eventually land on top, wrapping myself around her and restraining her legs. I swear, if I hear even a single thing about that last line. She begins to struggle to free herself. "Let me go!" "No way. You can't fight if you can't touch the ground, and I'm only going to let you go if you promise to calm down and let me explain myself." She sighs in defeat. "Fine. I won't attack you, just let me go." I let go of her and we get up. "Now, why did you attack me?" "I saw you walking around. You see, I love all plants and do my best to protect them, including the plants of this forest. I saw you attacking the plants, so I just kinda lost it." "I wasn't attacking them, I was just getting frustrated while studying them. I didn't mean any harm." "Studying them?" "A friend told me the plants here are the cause of the strange weather, and it's my dream to be the first pony to discover why the weather here is so weird." "Oh, I'm very sorry then. You aren't hurt, are you?" "No, I'll be fine. Just a little sore from the tugging." I say while stretching my limbs. "Now, if you don't mind, it's late and I should be getting home." "Of course, but before you go, what's your name?" "I'm Blue Breeze." I extend my hoof to her. "And I'm Vinetion, Vinetion Lutin." she shakes my hoof and we both exit the forest. I return home to find Ice relaxing in the living room. "So, anything special happen tonight?" I shake my head at him and smile. "You have no idea."
