//------------------------------// // 376- AKA 'Blood Thirsty' // Story: Wars scars run deep // by Dynomation //------------------------------// Pterosaur Princess Celestia Twilight Sparkle Rarity Applejack Pinkie Pie Rainbow Dash Fluttershy 376/Blood-Thirsty Princess Celestia face said it all, dark with anger and guilt in her face, he was back the most destructive force in pre-equestrian history, back with an army by the looks of it, whilst the ex-elements looked on in disgust and horror, she stormed out of the room. Pterosaur eyes flashed turning pure white, gritting his beck he followed Celestia. Celestia stood uneasily, her eyes closed, hearing the creak of the door and the soft padding of Pterosaur`s feet, "I`m sorry" he said quietly, Celestia opened her eyes and looked at the old solider "Sorry? For what? You have done nothing wrong" she said looking at him. "Exactly I done nothing I should have done something not be sitting their explaining myself to ponies" he said, angry with himself, his wings flared. Back in the room, all of the elements heard the shouting, most of them coming to the door except, Applejack. She was squinting at the picture on the screen, then she sore something, it sicken her, looking hard into the picture, she could see, them all of her cousin, all... something snapped in Applejack. Something in her seminally changed she when from the verge of tears to anger to rival the sun fury. "Gals, I know where they are" she said coldly. "Yeah, we can go vigalanty on their flanks now right?" asked Pinkie, her optimism returning as well as her hair style. "Www...where are they?" asked Fluttershy scared out of her mind. "Appalossa" said Applejack, her cold unrelenting anger became apparent for all of them. Pterosaur and Celestia listen in closely. Pterosaur didn`t need to be a genius to understand, Applejack was hurt and she wanted the hurting to stop. "What can we do? I don`t think 'rainbow' energy can fix this, let alone stop that monster" Rarity`s question bored it way into everyponies ears, it wasn`t something anyone wanted to acknowledge. Celestia frowned, all the elements seem to be dealing it with there own ways, Applejack was in raged and she had every right to be, Rainbow and Fluttershy seemed to be understanding, Twilight and Pinkie were trying to be reassuring and Rarity seem to saddened by the hole thing. "Pterosaur, Go to Appalossa, find what did this and capture it, uses a much hostility as you see fit" Pterosaur saluted and was about to start for Appalossa when Applejack spoke up "Ya`h not going without me! I got a score ta settle!" Pterosaur looked back "Are you sure, because this well be like nothing you`ve ever seen? This will scar you for life" Applejack glared at him "I`m going to go, Ma`h family may still be alive and I can`t be sittin around doing nothing!" Pterosaur looked at the other in thought. "Princess I think I`ll have to take Twilight as well as Applejack" he said calculating something. "And why is that?" asked Celestia with Twilight also questioning him with her gaze. "Magical restraints for the prisoner to be" Twilight looked at Applejack, then at Celestia. She nodded without any doubt, she would help her friends to the ends of the earth. Pterosaur didn`t smile no in the room could smile, not even Pinkie. As the three of them left by Twilight teleporting the others left until Princess Celestia was alone in the castle, she lowered her head "And so it begins again" Applejack looked at the carnage for a moment, the burnt buildings and bodies lay their, with flys hovering over pools of blood, the midday sun blistered down on them. Twilight looked around at the same things as Applejack there eyes burning with fear and worry, the only one who could think straight was Pterosaur. You could see it in his eyes, he`d seen this before, he`d done this before. "You to try and find survivors, I`ll find this murderer, whatever you do don`t try and find me I`ll find you" all of them nodded and Applejack and Twilight took off for the non-burning buildings to the east of Appalossa, Pterosaur took off for the west. The bodies lay stacked around him stacked up into the message. Placing a large flare into the ground he frowned, as the brilliant red light glowed bright in the air, a scrabbling sound was heard, Pterosaur looked around trying to pinpoint the creature. "Ooh, I though Celestia had better sense than to send you old timer" a cackling voice called, Pterosaur eyes turned white, he turned on his suit combat mode, clicking his neck he smile slightly, he see how far he could go with the murderer "You think you can bet me?" He tail smashed into the creature behind him "Nobody bets the classics!" Blood-Thirsty pulled his fangs out of the dirt, bat wings flaring, unlike 375 he did show up on radar, due to his magical properties, his spines sharpened as he got battle ready, talons glinting, covered in dry and crusted blood. "You can`t be me, I`ve absorbed so much plasma I`m practically immortal!" Pterosaur returned the batter with a punch to the face. "Stop talking and fight" he said coldly, as Blood-Thirsty wriggled in pain. As the El Chupacabra like beast got to his paws it growled "Ooh, if you want a" he shouting at Pterosaur was cut out by a back talon across the face. He flew into the pile of bodies, they fell onto of him. Pterosaur didn`t move a muscle, as the experiment exploded from the pile of bodies, and tackled him to the ground."Now without any" a Pterosaur pecked the creature eye. "BUCK YOU!" he screamed in pain and clasping it face his talons. Pterosaur rolled to his feet, with a smirk on his face. Blood-Thirsty swiped at the hippodactyl, sending him reeling backwards, the swipe was followed by spike flying at Pterosaur wings. Jumping and taking flight Pterosaur dive bombed the mass murderer, a spike tore a small cut in membrane of Pterosaur's right wing. Landing on the pile of bodies he snarled. Blood-Thirsty pulled a spike from his back and throw it like a spear at the Uber-solider, dodging it slightly. They hit the pile of bodies, the brown mass of spikes growl it red eyes locking onto the green blur of movement, not noticing the smaller black blur coming directly at his neck. A pain throbbed in his neck. "Argh! Resorting to throwing things!" he roared at the green blur, only for him to pull out the dart, it was small and black nothing meaningful on it at all, then look back in front of him. He was bucked in the back by Pterosaurs rear hooves. "Rule one in a fight kid, never take your eyes of the opponent" Blood-Thirsty vision became blacker "Buck you, I`ll get you for this" "Sure you will" said Pterosaur before Blood-Thirsty slipped of into unconsciousness.
