//------------------------------// // Cloudsdale // Story: Loose-Ends // by AlphaFireStorm //------------------------------// As soon as the baloons landed, the battle begun. Octavia slashing, Pinkie shooting nails(And confetti), Vinyl launchin' discs, Derpy being well, Derpy, and Rainbow being an all out badass. And that was just our baloon's team. As I was tearing through some filly's nightmare, I saw him. just standing there, tearing apart yet another victim, a young filly, Before the skin was entered on the filly, I had Slender-Mane on the ground. I heard Vinyl yell over the bedlam: "Save some of that bastard for me!" I let my anger flow out through my hooves as I kept on attacking him. Twenty straight minutes of beating ended with a swift blow to my head. Next thing I know is that i'm in the old worker bedrooms at the department of snow. Next to me is Vinyl, Derpy, and some other stallion. After trying to wake up Vinyl, the stallion helps me wake Derpy. I never learn his name. Because as soon as we try to talk, slender-mane waltzes into the room,throws Me, Derpy, and Vinyl against the cloud wall, and stands over the stallion. "What t-" he starts, before a tentacle enters his chest cavity, on it's way out it takes the skin and ribs out cleanly. The stallion is screaming in pain, but there is no fear in his eyes. His blood is pooling on the floor, soaking his mane. Slender-Mane just slowly takes out his organs, not bothering to replace them. Derpy is screaming, that was probably someone she cared for. I cover Vinyl's eyes, she doesn't need to see what i've seen so many times. Slender-Mane threw the heart, lungs, and liver at my face, and I don't react. Vinyl is the one who clears my face, I look at her, then I look at the horror still taking place. I look towards the floor, and look at the entrails. The pale color of them all. Derpy had moved from screaming to crying to puking. The mix on the floor soon gave me an idea. I tell Vinyl the idea, and she agrees. Time for the spell test. My personal spell that I had been working on since I was a colt. Well, two spells. Me and Vinyl knew them, and that was all. "Will it work?" Vinyl asked, a bit scared. "One way to find out." I say. "If it does, I'll send him running back home. "Hey, Slender-Mane!" I yell mockingly. His head turns toward me. One word:Impact. "IMPACT!" I yell, and he goes flying. "Holy Shit!" Vinyl yells. "Will shockwave work?" she asks, helping derpy up. "I don't know." I say, Walking towards Slender-Mane. The creature gets up, and pops it's neck. "SHOCKWAVE!" I yell, and nothing happens. That answers that. "IMPACT!" I yell again, sending him flying. "Vinyl you try." I say, walking towards the demon. Vinyl walks up, looks at Slender-Mane and yells. "I mean shockwave." Vinyl actually does it this time: "SHOCKWAVE!" she yells, and the creature lifts up into the air before slamming down hard. "That's right, bitch!." she yells. Derpy had already escaped. And now we were as well.
