Don't Starve!

Clocked In

The Bishop released the bolt directly onto Rainbow's skull, who immediately fell to the ground like a sack of potatoes.


Applejack and Twilight both reacted differently, Applejack charged at the Bishop, Twilight ran towards Rainbow Dash. Applejack tackled the Bishop to the ground at an alarming rate and punched it in the face. The Bishop, not being very efficient in close range like this, tried to retaliate, but to no avail. Twilight was making sure Rainbow Dash was okay, calling her name, and checking for a pulse.

"Rainbow Dash! Can you hear me! Rainbow Dash!!!" She called, no answer. Dash did not have a pulse, she probably didn't have a life anymore. Twilight prepared for a defibrillation spell, and she placed her horn on Dash's chest, and charged the spell.

ZAP

The spell made a zapping noise, but it seems to have not gone towards Rainbow.

The Bishop, practically on the verge of dying from Applejack strong hits, was suddenly powered up by a strong bolt of electricity. It launched upwards, knocking Applejack off of it, it's broken parts were slowly welding back together. The bulb on it's head glowed brighter than ever, and it shot a continuous stream of electric energy towards Applejack.

"Oh shoot!" She yelled, running and dodging away from the electricity. The Bishop was hungry for revenge, it would be served on a shocking level. Twilight looked up at the two, she wasn't sure who to help, Applejack, or Rainbow Dash. Twilight stood up and charged a magical blast towards the Bishop, it also shot a beam and the two beams collided. Applejack saw this as a clear opening to attack it while it was focusing on Twilight. She took a running stance and charged at it, The Bishop was far from stupid though, it's robe like coverings was spread out on each side of the Bishop, creating mechanical wings. It took to the skies, avoiding Applejack completely, Twilight was caught off guard and wasn't paying attention to the electrical beam overthrowing hers. She was blown back and her horn was severely burned, electricity was dancing around the base of the horn. Twilight struggled to stand, but she found a way, she charged up her horn again, but was soon shocked by electricity.

"Gah!" She yelped, raising her hoof to her horn, and touching it. Her hoof was zapped has if her hoof had been covered in water, then rubbing and outlet. Her horn was rendered useless, every time she tried to use it, she would get shocked, shocking, isn't it?

Wilson held Wendy's hand and led the way through a dark(although in Wendy's eyes it wasn't dark)hallway full of amor sets. Wilson had to try very hard to even see, he almost had a heart attack many times when the only thing he'd be able to see was a spooky set of amor in front of him.

"Wendy, you alright?" Wilson asked.

"Yes, Wilson" Wendy exaggerated her reply because Wilson asked if she was okay every five minutes. They kept walking, almost as if this was one of those infinitely growing hallways. He took a deep breath to calm himself, he felt a head ache coming on. The two kept moving forwards, until Wilson stopped.

"What's wrong Wilson?" Wendy asked, tugging on his shirt. He slowly looked back into the darkness that they came from.

"That armor set back there looked very similar to a-" Wilson stopped as he heard the sound of an accordion, multiple accordions. Many mechanical, horse headed, creatures began to bounce towards Wendy and Wilson.

"Clockwork Knight" Wilson breathed, slowly backing away from them with Wendy's grip on his hand tightening. They were making good progress, no sudden movements, slow moving, and staying calm, that is the guide to not pissing off the Knights. Wilson kept waling backwards while they watched him closely, he hit the end of the hallway. Of course, when he didn't want it to end. His eyes widened and frantically looked for a way out, he couldn't fight them, they'd pummel him to death. He couldn't run through them, running is enough to piss them off. He began to breath heavily in fear, and Wendy hid behind him as much as she could. Wilson backed up completely against the wall, his hands pressing against multiple bricks, and pushing them in. The wall suddenly began to shake and slowly move down, making and opening. The Knights took this as a threat, and charged at Wilson, he decided he wouldn't wait for the wall to finish. He helped Wendy climb over it, then he began to climb, one of the Knights bashed his foot, causing him to wail in pain. He made it over the wall and it suddenly began to close back up, the Knights, not being able to climb, just watched it. But before it was completely closed, one of the Knights stretched it's accordion like body all the way, then move it's body back down. This released a thick, white gas that made it's way through the crack of the opening.

"That....was close" Wilson said, taking a breath.

"We got lucky though, Wilson." Wendy added, staring at the wall. She saw a white gas slowly making it's way towards them. She tugged on Wilson's shirt. "What's that Wilson?" She asked, pointing at the gas. Wilson raised one eyebrow and looked at the wall, he stared at the gas.

"I don't know, where did it come from? Stay here" He ordered, Wendy didn't move. Wilson walked towards the white gas and hesitantly reached out too it. The gas enveloped his hand instantly, suddenly he couldn't move his hand anymore. It went very numb, like he sat on it for a whole day, but he couldn't even move it. He began to back up, he grabbed Wendy.

"We've got to go, this stuffs dangerous" He said, looking at his numbed hand.

"What happened to your hand?" She asked, Wilson looked at it, it was a crimson red.

"Oh shoot" The gas made it's way closer to the two, Wilson saw how it grew in size and speed. "Let's go Wendy!" He said, leading her down another hallway. They were fast walking, like in the sport or whatever, Wilson could barely remember. He didn't think they needed to run because the gas wasn't that fast.

"Woah!" Wilson screamed, falling to the ground, his left leg being unable to move. The gas was right behind them, getting faster by the minute.

"Wilson! Get up!"

"I can't! My leg!..." Wilson's whole body was becoming covered in the gas, Wendy grabbed his hand and started to drag him.

"Wilson, you're too heavy!" Wendy said, trying her hardest to get him out of the gas.

"Just go Wendy! It's not lethal! Go on ahead, maybe i'll catch up?" Wilson said with a fake smile, Wendy nodded and began to run the other direction. Wilson could no longer move at all, he could only breath, blink, and his organs could function(thank goodness for that).

Wendy ran until she couldn't see anything behind her anymore, she ran out of breath and took a break. She sat down on a stone slab and wiped the massive amounts of sweat from her eyes. She looked from left to right, and sighed heavily. She was alone, she hated being alone, and Abigail wasn't here with her. Wendy decided to shake it off and continue on her, what seemed like, endless journey down a loooooong hallway. Not much occurred on this long walk besides, small earthquakes, rumblings, some strange sounds, and rumbling. She came upon a large, metal door, which many sounds erupted from the inside. Wendy put her ear up onto the door, and there were a lot of males screaming and cheering for something. She pushed to hard on the door, and it opened, Wendy stumbled inside and fell flat on her face. She wiped the dirt off of her and looked up and saw that she was in some kind of colosseum, like those ones where the knight would fight an angry lion. It wasn't the colosseum that caught her eye though, it was that all of the seats were occupied by a bunch of Maxwells.

"What the..." Wendy said to herself, standing up and looking around. Suddenly, all of the lights shut off and one light was on her. She was starting to get scared. A large voice came out of the speakers.

"Welcome all, to Maxwells Chess Fighting Colosseum! Your knight for this battle is the great and powerful! WEEEENDYYYY!" The voice yelled, all of the Maxwells cheered, throwing their popcorn in the air. Wendy was visibly shaking in fear, not stepping out of her position. A cart, full of weapons, armor, and accessories was rolled out to Wendy. She knew all of these were way to heavy for her to even carry, so she just grabbed a small dagger at the bottom of the cart.

"HER WEAPON OF CHOICE, A DAGGER!!! HOW DARING, HOW BRAVE" The announcer stopped, and a tall figure appeared in front of Wendy, it was Maxwell.

"How interesting" Maxwell said, smiling at the cowering child. A microphone poofed into existence, and Maxwell grabbed it.

"Today! Wendy will be fighting for TWO prizes, rather than one, but she can ONLY choose one!" He said, looking at Wendy. "Prize number one is...."

A light suddenly came on and it shined on a beaten and bruised Wilson, hanging above a boiling pot of water.

"The life of Wilson! Prize number two is..." Maxwell reached into his jacket and pulled out an object. "The precious... The glorious... and most of all, THE MOST IMPORTANT ITEM OF ALL!"


"METAL POTATO THING!"
