//------------------------------// // Phase 1 and 2 // Story: Kill Your Heroes // by pokefreak13 //------------------------------// We galloped quietly into the dim night. Sulfur carried five homemade bombs in his saddle bag. Our small group soon came to the huge statue of our "great king" and Sulfur started to place the bombs around the statue. "Okay Fire Cracker." Killer said. I rubbed my hoof on the hard ground and my hoof ignited. Then I placed my hoof on the bombs. Awakening them from their slumber. Then we all ran into the alley and cheered quietly as the statue crashed to the ground. "See ya tomorrow night new bee." Killer gave me a playful noogie then galloped down the alley. "Ya. See ya later." Then Chief Furry and Sulfur headed back to the bakery while I walked down the dark alley with a smile on my face. I limped to the bakery the next night. Once news of his precious statue went up in smoke, the king was so pissed off that he made us do extra back breaking work and even banned matches. Now the reason I was limping was because a soldier started to beat Mr. Green for spilling a basket off crystal berries. I tried to step in which only earned me an iron stick to my left leg. As I entered the basement, Killer greeted me with a smile. I was confused at first. However when I noticed my friend Finnick talking with Sulfur and Furry, I started to get the picture. And I was not happy about it. I looked at Killer and glared at him. "Why did you let Finnick enter!" I yelled at him. My friend walked over to us and stared at me with so much confidence, I started to wounder if this was the same Finnick. "Fire Cracker. I made them let me join." he explained. "You could get killed!" I yelled. "You could too." my friend pointed out. Chief Furry cleared his throat. "Enough arguing. We need to go now if we're going to be able to do phase two." he said. Finnick and I glared at each other for a little while before heading back outside with the rest of the gang. We all galloped to the storage and while Finnick began to hack into the security cameras, the rest of us put on pale masks and dark jackets to hide our appearance in case one of us ran into a soldier on guard duty. "Cameras down." Finnick said. Furry turned to Sulfur. "Protect Finnick." he ordered. Sulfur nodded, took out his dagger, and positioned himself in front of Finnick. I sighed and followed the rest of the gang into the storage. "Look at all this food!" Killer gasped. Once we entered the storage, we were instantly greeted with all sorts of yummy looking food. "Grab some food. Then we'll celebrate." Furry said. Killer nodded eagerly and started to act like a filly in a candy store. Trying to decide which food to pick and which to leave behind. I followed Chief Furry down the rows of food and into the weapon section. "Ready Fire Cracker?" he asked. I nodded and shot some flames at three barrels of gun powder. Then we started to gallop as fast as we could. "Apple pie or cherry pie?" Killer muttered to himself. Then he saw us running and got the memo. So her just stuffed the apple pie into his bulging saddle bag and ran outside with the rest of us. "Great job team." Furry congratulated. We were back at base and were enjoying roasted nuts, apple pie, and wine. "We couldn't have done it without Fire Cracker." Finnick said. "It wasn't just me." I blushed. Sulfur elbowed me playfully. "Quit being so modest." he teased. I smiled. This was the most fun I've ever had in a long time.
