//------------------------------// // Dungeons and getting poked with a pitchfork // Story: The Worst of a Bad Situation // by NLRscout //------------------------------// I rushed over to Fluttershy to check her wounds and found a large piece of wood embedded in her barrel. I checked to see if she was still breathing, and she was, but just barely. I looked back down at Twilight with a worried expression and yelled for her to get up here. I could barely hear myself yell because of the ringing in my ears, but I guess Twilight got the message. She rushed up the stairs and gasped as she saw Fluttershy. I told her to stay calm and put pressure on her wound, while I dealt with the mob of ponies. Walking down the stairs, staring at the offending unicorn, I was furious. White hot rage over took me, and when I reached him, I blacked out. I came to and he was on the ground bleeding from every hole in his face. The other ponies looked at me in a mixture of fear and surprise. I looked down, shakely at my blood speckled hands. I took a deep breath in and I stepped over his unconscious body to stand by what used to be a door. Glaring at the crowd of ponies, I spoke in a calm tone. "Do you see what happens when ignorant impulse over takes rational thought?" I sighed and looked about the crowd of gathered ponies. " I suggest you all leave." They were still standing there. "NOW!" I yelled. That was all it took and they turned tail and ran. I turned back around and looked at the unicorn who was just now regaining consciousness. Leaning down, I made sure we were face to face. His eyes fluttered slightly open and lazily raised to meet mine. When they did, fear shot them wide open. I grabbed his face in my hands to make sure he stayed looking at me. With a cool and collected look upon my face I smiled. "You wanted a monster, I'll show you a monster." Picking him up by his neck, I smiled a toothy grin. Magic is really unfair. Like, REALLY unfair. I was righteously choke slamming the dirt bag who hurt the closest thing I've had to a friend in a long time before I realised I was about fifteen feet away from him, in a bookcase. The fuck right? Well judging from the unconscious body lying limp on the floor that I recognized as Mr. Asshat unicorn, I could only guess it was Twilight who ragdolled my ass. I was still trying to get my head to stop spinning so I didn't hear the yelling, it was just a muted noise. Before I could truly understand what the fuck was going on, a flash of white light further impaired my perception of my surroundings. When I could see again, a huge white horse was standing in the middle of the room, and she looked PISSED. Before I could even react, I felt myself floating across the room at speeds that are illegal in Germany. I stopped inches away from the white horse and saw her mouth moving but I couldn't hear her. So I uttered a simple word to help her understand my plight. "WHAT?!" Ok, so maybe it was more like screamed it in her face but I don't have time for semantics. She glared at me further before I felt light headed and I could hear again. Magic, amirite? Her velvety smooth voice graiced my ears for the first time, "You must be the creature Twilight spoke of," She glanced down at the unconscious unicorn next to her, "I assume you know him?" She rhetorically asked me, then sighed. "What exactly has happened here?" I recounted the events that lead up to now as quickly as I could, "Its just kind of a domino effect you know? One thing lead to another and now I don't really know what to do." I glanced back at the staircase and saw Twilight looking helpless while still putting pressure on the wound. I looked back at the white horse with a face of determination. "First and foremost, we need to get Fluttershy to a hospital." She looked past me and saw her state, she let out a gasp and dropped me flat on my ass. Maybe It's because I wasn't paying attention to it, maybe its because I'm an idiot, but it didn't register in my head just how high off the ground I was, but it soon came to me. Much like the ground. After the white horse, who's name I learned was Celestia and who was also a princess, checked Fluttershy's wounds, she teleported her and the quivering pile of unicorn on the ground to the hospital. Leaving just me and Twilight alone with our thoughts. "Sooo..." There was a long pause. I glanced back at Twilight. "I've got a few questions only you might be able to answer."
