//------------------------------// // Round one! // Story: Hiyah! // by A Tin Can //------------------------------// A creature looked out at the town from a hill. The sun rising on the horizon, the birds chirping, and the sweet smell of flowers and clean, unpolluted air reached his senses. 'Yes', it thought,'this will be the perfect place to start domination'. It jumped up into the air and started flying into the town. "Dropkick!" ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Twilight was reading books. Come on, we all expect this nerd to be reading. Anyways, she was sipping coffee while reading through her book, when Spike begins bumbling down the stairs. "Spike," Twilight began,"I've been waiting for you. Could you please make breakfast?" "Can't you do it yourself?" Spike grumbled. "Remember what happened last time?" She asked. "... Point taken. I'll get right on it," The purple drake replied. Yes, Twilight was enjoying a book with coffee, and her slave loyal assistant was now making breakfast. This day was off to a good start- "Hiyah!" A voice yelled from outside. Suddenly, a creature crashed through the window feet first, and said feet connecting with Twilights face. She flew across the room and crashed into the bookshelves, knocked out. "Dropkick!" It yelled while pumping its fists into the air, before crying out again as it leaped out the window. Spike ran back into the main room to see what the problem was, and saw Twilight. He contemplated calling the authorities, but decided against it. Instead, he finished breakfast, left it for Twilight at the table, and ran to the upstairs bedroom with a tub of ice cream. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fluttershy was enjoying a nice tea party with her animal friends Harry the bear, Angel the bunny, and Fluffy the manticore. Angel was uncomfortable around the two predators, but did so anyway for Fluttershy. The demonic white hare was nibbling on one of the crumpets, enjoying that Fluttershy still favorites him by putting carrots in his crumpets. Yet, despite his appearance though, he planned for world domination. Soon, no one would demean him as a 'cute wittle bunny wabbit', oh no! He would rule them all as Angel the Destroyer! Mwuhahaha- Belch! "Angel, manners," Fluttershy asked gently. ... but for now he would have to listen to these peons. Nodding, he tapped his mouth with a handkerchief and gave a fake sheepish smile. Pointing to the the teapot, then his cup, he made gestures only suggesting he wanted tea. He may be evil, but Fluttershy made real good tea party goods. Perhaps she could be his secretary once he's global emperor? "Very well Angel," The butter colored pony said. As she tipped the pot over his cup, something unexpected happened. The pot lid fell off. "Hiyah!" A pair of feet flew from out of the teapot and sent Angel flying deep into the Everfree forest. A creature climbed out of the teapot while Fluttershy was too busy zooming after Angel. He brushed himself off and stole Angels crumpets. The predators looked at him, and growled at first. When the creature didn't back down, they nodded like a disciple to their master to him, and gave him bro-fists. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Rainbow Dash. Fastest flier in Equestria. And here she was, sleeping on a cloud. Now, normally, she had duties to do with the weather team, but today was her day off. So what better way to spend it then nap? "Screeeeeeeeeeeeee!" The noise brought her from her slumber, and was confused to see a white rabbit flying off into the forest. This didn't bother her much... until an odd, predatory tune started up. She looked up in surprise, wondering where the orchestral theme was coming from. It's dark feel didn't exactly comfort her. " Eheheh... Pinkie, is that you?" She asked nervously. " C'mon Pinkie, I know you're out there..." Rainbow trailed off, before realizing she was in the sky with a cloud. Now this was cause for concern. And she noticed that more clouds were starting to gather around hers. Suddenly, a fin sprouted from one of the clouds a distance away from her. She began to panic. She was just about ready to fly off, when suddenly, the finned thing dived under. Still worried, she looked over the edge of her cloud to make sure it was gone. Big mistake. " Hiyah!" A creature shouted, it's feet colliding with her face from beneath the clouds. Rainbow Dash was launched back onto the cloud, and skidded a couple of feet back. Her hoof reached to her face to find she had a bloody nose, and looked up. There was a strange bipedal creature in a business-stallions suit and tie, and was almost hairless with the exception of a short, hair jelled black mane, and it's fur-less skin was lightly tan. Duct-taped to its back was the fin she saw earlier. Now getting a closer view of the fin, she realized it was made using cardboard and chalk. The creature crouched down to Rainbow Dash, and grinned. " Dropkick," Was the last word she heard before her lights went out from the pain. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Applejack was currently bucking apple trees. The work was hard, but the work was honest and money was plentifully available. Big Macintosh was in the other end of the orchard taking care of other trees, so she would have to take care of hauling her cart. Not as if that were a problem. But there were still too many apples in this section for her to do on her own today- "Hiyah!" Something yelled from behind. Suddenly, a creature was flying towards her. She only had time to brace herself, as the inevitable was sure to happen. She shut her eyes and braced herself. Rather than colliding with her though, the creature flew overhead and drop-kicked a tree instead. Confused, she looked up to see the creature collecting baskets. "Figured you could use a hoof," It shrugged, placing the baskets in the nearby cart. After all, one does not simply dropkick best pony. "Uhh, thanks pardner?" She asked, not knowing what to do. "No problem. Let's get this orchard finished. Hiyah!" The entire orchard was finished that very same day from the sheer awesomeness of his kicks, so that way none of the other trees would feel the pain of his kick. A world record too. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Rarity's day could not have possibly been better. For the first time in a while, she actually had some breathing time from her orders. Without warning though, a creature, ahem, a handsome creature came in through the door. It grinned at her and bowed. Oh, Rarity could be swiped off her hooves at this point- "Hiyah!" It yelled with a nobles accent, before it spun around a couple times and then leaped in the air. Without warning, the creatures marvelous leather dress shoes connected with her face, sending her crashing through the boutiques walls, and out into the backyard and landing in her spice garden. The creature bowed once again to her unconscious body, and jumped into the air again through the holes in the wall, but not before sticking his pinkie high into the air. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Pinkie Pie was hiding in her room, with an assortment of furniture barricading her door and windows. Her Pinkie Sense had been going off all day, but she didn't know why until she heard about Rainbow Dash getting hospitalized. RD described something about a 'Tall creature in a suit' before passing out. All of her friends had been affected by this creature, for good or for bad. She normally would have tried to protect her friends, but once this creature attacks, it only attacks once. After all, she knew of this creature quite well... Thump! 'Here it comes.' Thump! 'It's at the door!' Whump! 'Brace yourselves!' Whump! Crick! Crack! ... She heard cursing mumbles from behind the door, before thumping steps slowly faded away. 'Whew! That was a close-' Ka-boom! The door flew open in a fiery explosion, and she cursed at herself for not remembering it could warp physics like herself. The creature walked in looking dusty and grimy. On its shoulder was a strange tube with smoke coming from it that reminded her of the party cannon, and he wore a pair of shades. Dropping the tube onto the ground, he walked towards Pinkie with deliberate slowness. Picking Pinkie up, he pulled her in and hugged her. " You fought well against me, but it's futile," He said with a grin, before tossing her mid-air and drop-kicked her out of the air and through the window. She crashed into a harmless cart of flowers, before passing out. The creature pulled his shades off and carelessly tossed them to the side. Reaching into his pockets, he pulls out a notepad and pen, before scratching her name off. Twilight Sparkle. Fluttershy. Rainbow Dash. Applejack. Rarity. Pinkie Pie. Looking down the list, he spotted the rest of his targets. Trixie. Gilda. The Flim Flam brothers. Lyra Heartstrings Celestia. Luna. Blue Blood. Discord. Chrysalis. King Sombra. Flash Sentry. Tirek. ... This is gonna be a while.
