//------------------------------// // Nineteen: IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN DAH DAH DAHDAHDAHDAAAAH! // Story: The Non-Equestrian Equestrian Hero // by New Dawn //------------------------------// "Land there!" This.... isn't good.... Looks like he still has anger problems to deal with.... What the heck made him act like this? "But-" "Raoul!!! Stop being stupid and land there!" "... Fine... you owe me big time..." He glides down to the back end of the orchard and lands with a crash. "You... did that on purpose..." "Eeyup..." I get up and look around. A sword impacts the ground where I was standing. "I knew you would be here..." That same... twisted voice.. I look up at the face... WHY THE HECK DID HE DECIDE ON GANONDORF!?? I CAN'T BEAT HIM TWISTED BY SOME... DARK MAGIC OR SOMETHING!!!! "Eeeh... likewise??" Great.... He can't understand me... or can he? "ELEMENTS OF HARMONY! FRIENDSHIP IS- AAAAAHHHH" The sound of several ponies falling out the air rang out. *thump* That was my face landing in the dirt... Purple smart pegacorn tried using rainbow gems against a dark magic user who shot them out of the air before that happened. "Idiots..." He shot a giant black... thing... at them... HOLY MOTHER OF LUNA! IT FREAKING EXPLODES! "... Raoul?" "Yes?" "One thing about being a traveler is that you do this a lot... RUN!" I get out of there like my tail was on fire. Raoul is... FREAKING FLYING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION!!!! And now I'm eating dirt... great... "Any last words?" ...Meep. "... I know you can't understand me but... yes..." I say, seeing a familiar wooded tail brush through the trees. "THE KING HAST ARRIVE!" A few everfree trees to explode as my good friend burst through. Oh this is too good to be true... Hey my sword is in his nose still!! Gotta time this right... If I- I was snapped out of my thoughts by a massive paw swiping me out of the air. "This yours?" Raoul says, holding my sword. "Yes!!! Thank you! For the love of Luna, thank you!" I yell, almost hugging him. Almost. I know what you're thinking and you all should be ashamed of yourselves. "Jeez, I think that little timberwolf trick scared half of the changelings. I'd say we're good..." Raoul said, setting me down on the top of a barn. "I guess... But... Something about Gavin now makes no sense... He shouldn't be attacking me..." I mutter. "Anyways here... I dunno what use you have for it..." He says, placing the sword beside me. Wait.. THE EFFECTS ARE ACTIVE RIGHT AWAY??? Jeez, no one told me that changing from a wolf to a human right away would hurt as much as it did... "Ohhh.... Crap..." Raoul didn't fly away... Shouldn't the power to talk to creatures linger? Or is that countered by... Equestrian magic? Is that what it's called? He roars and flies away almost as fast at he can. "Well... I'm stuck..." "HEHEEEEEEAAATTHER!!!" Navi? NAVI?? OH MY GOD HOW I MISSED THAT LITTLE BUG PONY!! and how she hurts me so... She barrel rolled right into my heart... no my stomach... Wait, that aura is still over her wings and horn... How did she get up here?! "Navi..." I say, falling over. "Sorry..." She says, rubbing the back of her head. "W-wait up!" What the- "That annoying little drake followed me ever since those ponies got called by Celestia. " Navi says. "Hm." Figures. "How's your arm?" She asks. "Oh I totally forgot..." I mutter, pulling my sleeve. "That.. Make no sense..." Navi muttered. "What?" "Well, In theory the infection should have taken your arm all the way by now... But it's still at where it was when I last left you.." ... Magic? "Huh.. Whaddya know... Well, Let's go-" I started to say before a familiar southern drawl so RUDELY interrupted me. "Hey! Git down from mah roof! Varmit!" Wait, this pony is green? And old? I held a hand against my heart in mock harm. "Moi!? A varmit!? How rude!" I said, turning my nose away. I could tell a certain marshmallow pony was getting offended by that. "Wait, It's you!!!" OH DEAR GOD NOT THAT PONY!!! NOT THE PINK ONE!!!! HEAVEN FORBID I EVER MAKE CONTACT WITH THAT PONY!!! Wait, shouldn't she be way up... N-never mind... I shouldn't question it... "... Navi? L-lets go do... Whatever we were here to do..." I say my eyes fixed on the pink one... "Ok? Uh... We may want wait-" "NO TIME! SHE'S OUT FOR BLOOD! MY BLOOD!!" I scream, dragging Navi to the edge of the... roof... "..." "..." "We... Need a ladder..."
