"E-Enderman?" Fluttershy asked shakily, stopping in her tracks.
I cleared my throat, "Enderman are a huge, three block high monster who can tower over even me and aren't hostile unless you look them in the eyes. They can teleport and attack you from behind, and will kill on sight after being looked at," I spoke, "Come on!" I walked onwards towards the town.
After a couple of steps, I looked back. Twilight, Rainbow and Applejack had followed, but the others weren't budging. Fluttershy was just hiding behind her hooves, shaking like a leaf. Pinkie Pie just stood there, her usually pink mane looking rather deflated. Rarity just shook her head repetitively. It looked as though they were all going to have a panic attack.
"Twilight? Applejack? Rainbow Dash?" I asked, "I need you to go and take these three to Twilight's house, now," I gestured back to the library. Rainbow was hesitant, but I managed to convince her to go with the rest of them. I sighed, turning back towards the town. I could now hear many pony screams, as well as the groans of some zombies and the occasional rattle of a skeleton's loose bones. A crunching on gravel was apparent, and the endermen's buzz-like crows were all I needed to hear to get the adrenalin rushing again.
I sprinted into the town square like a madman. Not the best way to approach a battle, but it was my favourite way anyway.
Summoning my diamond sword in one hand, and my iron sword in the other. I felt an arrow whiz past my ear as I ran, my lungs moving like billows. Kicking up a cloud of dirt as I skid to a stop, I quickly turned my head to gain a view of my surroundings. So, it was sort of like a circular arena. I saw about twenty zombies, fifteen skeletons, and a few creepers. That probably wasn't all of the creepers. I'm betting that some of them are hiding in the shadows, too. The endermen weren't anywhere to be found, but I'm guessing I'll be seeing some of them very soon.
Pulling back into a sprint again, I ran at a pack of zombies, my swords by my sides. Jumping, I glided right into the front of the pack, landing onto the chest of a zombie and snapping its spine with my weight. Slashing to my sides, I sliced a few of its teammates. Then turned and pulled out a torch. It was getting a bit too dark to see.
Running at the nearest skeleton, I decapitated its head clean from its body. I quickly placed another torch, then sprinted back around to the other side of the 'arena.' Too easy. I raised my swords, ready to smite another enemy.
I felt a sudden pain in the side of my shoulder, my arm hanging limp. The pain stung like a bucket of hot lava being poured on top of a zombie bite! Great! Now I have the use of only one arm. I banished the diamond sword in my limp arm, then replaced the iron sword in my other arm with an apple. Quickly biting into it, I felt the slight anaesthetic effect to take place. For my arm, it would likely take two days to heal. Great. There'll probably be a massive-ass scar there, too.
Feeling another arrow whiz past my head, I snapped back into reality and placed a kick into the stomach of an incoming zombie. Turning around, I saw another pack of zombies. Summoning my diamond sword again, I swung at the pack, separating their heads from their bodies. I love diamonds, but this sword looked more like a ruby sword now. From the tip down to the sheath was all completely covered with zombie blood.
I heard something his behind me and turned, striking it with my sword. It was a creeper, and I was too late. The explosion from the creeper hit me square in the chest and I went flying backwards. The after-burn was a bitch, but at least I wasn't dead... Yet.
I have to have destroyed at least fifty monsters by now, but more keep coming. The area was too big to stop them from spawning. I was running, ready to place a torch, but was stopped in my tracks by screaming. The screaming of six girls, and it was coming from the library. I knew exactly who they were...
"Girls!" I shouted, turning and sprinting back towards the library. They were probably in trouble. They didn't know much about my world, and I'm sure that they could be killed with ease. Then again, I'm sure that they could also fend for themselves. Wether they could or not, I had to go and help.
Almost slamming into the library door, I swung it open and dashed inside. The downstairs light was on, luckily, but the girls weren't to be seen. Heading upstairs, I saw that it was darkish. Of course something would have spawned here. Looking across the room, I saw that the six mares were eyeing a tall, dark, slender being with two, crystalline, glowing eyes. "I see that you've found an endermen," I dryly joked. They all turned to see me, and then I realised my big mistake. Thinking quickly, I summoned my knife and I threw it at the endermen, stabbing through the neck and stunning it. I ran over to the girls, placing a torch and taking a defensive stance before the six. I felt a lot like my wolves at the time. The way that they would loyally jump into the battle for me, and die for me. Now, I felt the same way for these girls. Besides, they had told me that they control the 'Elements of Harmony,' so if one of them isn't there to use them, they're all useless.
The endermen stood up and ran at us, spewing a purple blood from its gaping mouth. I stepped forward and skewed my sword through its chest, causing the beast before me to gag, then fall to the floor and fall silent. The girls just huddled there, staring at the dead body lying on the floor. Walking over to the body, I ripped the eyes out and stripped it of its skin. Its talons could be useful too, so I should take them as well.
Having stripped the body of its useful resources, I walked back over to the six mares. They looked horrified, but I'm betting that there'll be more than just this that they'll have to deal with soon. "Um..." I spoke, trying to break the awkward silence, "You good to stay here, or..." I faded. Twilight was the first to speak up.
"Uh... C-Could we please s-stay with you?" She said shakily. I nodded, walking towards the stairs. I could tell that they were following, the clip-clop of their hooves tapping against the ground.
This was going to be a long night...
