//------------------------------// // Arrival: 2 // Story: I want to see you; Beam - Beam - Beam // by Ponyess //------------------------------// I could have chosen the royal castle, but this is merely a small village. I had arrived, and just outside of the village. This village had apparently chosen not to have a city wall. Maybe they knew it is pointless, for a Griffon, since you would attack from the air. The detail that I'm not a Griffon but a Pony may have escaped them. I would have been forced to blast wholes in their poor wall, unless they freely let me in, but why would they? “Load your cannons!” I ordered, looking as they all loaded their cannons, with swift joy. “Line up and fire!” I ordered, seeing how they followed this order too. Even if the canon is small, when I have one hundred of them fired in unison, it sure was an effect loud enough, even for the Griffons. As early as it was, they are stirring, first in a distracted manner, turning more curious as they woke up. Then they got worried as the loud noises continued, and they started to recognise what the sounds are. “Cease fire!” I commanded, and quiet enveloped the surroundings, since the thunderous noise of my cannons was silenced. “Beam, beam beam!” I commanded, and all beamed in the manner I had instructed them before. This was sure to worry the Griffons even further. Thrice blinding light from my false dawn had been seen on the horizon, and the thunderous noises from impacts seconds later. I gave off a maniacal laughter for a moment, knowing they were all laughing with me. This was sure to spoil the appetite of the poor Griffons. I guess the scene did amuse me for a moment. Now confused screams were heard from within the community. Most of them had stirred from sleep by now, and none was left sleeping for much longer at this point. Just the way I had intended. “Beam, beam, Beam!” I commanded, and we all hit the village with a new series of beams, shaking buildings once more, leaving a stark after image for all to see. Only this time, a few cracks was starting to show on the walls taking the most hits. Just after the last rumble had died down, the sky is once more black, the stars twinkling slightly, as if they were fearful, not daring to reclaim the night sky? My timing had been just right, the light soon coming up as Celestia was rising the sun. That's the sign they had all been awaiting. I had given them just enough time to take to the sky in order to scout the field where I was standing. “Beam, beam beam!” I responded as I spotted the first few Griffons on the sky. If they had expected the air to be a strength, they had been mistaken this time. My doubles soon hitting them left and right. Each beam knocked a Griffon out of the sky, until the sky was clear, once more.
