//------------------------------// // From the Dust // Story: Swooty Bell Adventures Part 5: Scootaloo and the Swooty Squad // by Protopony350 //------------------------------// "MY SCOOTALOO!" Changeshape began to transform. Her body was being crushed and burnt by the laser cage, but she didn't care. She was engulfed in rage and grief. "TROOPERS, FIRE!" Said a fire trooper. The troopers fired. "YOU'RE GOING TO DIE! YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!" She screamed. She hardened her body like diamond , and expanded into a huge monster. The cage exploded. "SHOOT HER! SHOOOT HEEER!" Demanded a trooper. They fired everything they had. Not even cannons seemed to phase her. Tentacles shot from her body. She grabbed twelve troopers. "SHOOT HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER" She retracted the tentacles, absorbing and killing the troopers. "GROGAR! GROGAR, I WILL DEVOUR YOU!" "HE'S NOT HERE! HE'S HEADING TO THE NEXT CITY!" Said a trooper, who was crushed by a huge tentacle. "I WILL ANNIHILATE THIS ENTIRE FORTRESS!" MEANWHILE IN HORSE TOWN U.S.A Spine dropped his new shovel and fell to his knees. "Everything's gone......" He said in shock. "Twix, Robotimo, Apple Friend, help me search for survivors!" Ordered McDreamy. "Everything..... Scootaloo........" They couldn't find a single survivor. "All we found was all this white dust." Said a sad Apple Friend. "Wait.....white dust?" Twix Bar pulled the analyzer out of her bag and analyzed the dust. She turned white, and began to vomit. "TWIX!" Said McDreamy a he ran to her side. "This-this isn't all dust. This is bone powder." "But so much of it.......oh dear" The realization hit McDreamy. "We'll never know if anyone made it out. They're all dust." Twix Said through tears. "We'll stop him." Said McDreamy as he hugged Twix Bar, Twix Bar gritted her teeth. "We'll DESTROY him!" She said. They both broke down into sobbing. "Uh, guys, what's that?" Asked Apple Friend. The ground near them was glowing white. "SPINE, YOUR SHOVEL!" Yelled McDreamy. Spine broke out of his daze, and ran to them. IN SOUTH HORSE CITY U.S.A Grogar was about to destroy the city of ten thousand ponies. "SIR, EMERGENCY TRANSMISSION!" Said a trooper. "IT'S THE PRISONER! SHE'S-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" The transmission was cut off. Grogar gritted his teeth. "I'll DESTROY her!" He turned around. "Everyone, back to Tambelon! AND BACK AT HORSE TOWN Spine dug one mighty fine hole. "What IS that?" Asked Apple Friend. A large orb of white light sat in the dirt. It faded. "D-dad?" Asked Scootaloo. Her, along with the mare and two other ponies had been shielded. "SCOOTALOO!" He grabbed her and hugged her. The ponies she saved looked over the city. They walked away, spirits broken. "Dad, we have to get to Tambelon NOW!" Scootaloo urged. "What? We're not getting NEAR that place! I'm not letting you-" "They captured mom!" "Robotimo, get the car" "You mean the me?" He asked. "yes, grab a wagon and pull us!" "You guys suck!" It was about an hour long trip. They fought a dragon on the way but who cares about that? They arrived at Tambelon just in time to see Grogar and his forces approaching in the distance. "We need a plan!" Said Twix Bar. They all looked to Scootaloo. "Well first we need to save-" And just as she started to say that, a huge Changeshape monster burst through the ceiling of Tambelon, tossing a group of troopers to their deaths. "Never mind" Said Scootaloo. Changeshape spotted them, and returned to her normal form. She flew at them faster than she's ever flown. "SCOOTY!" She cried. She tackled her. "NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!" She sobbed. "Mom, that was INSANE! HOW MANY DID YOU DEFEAT?" "Around a thousand." "WHAT? HOW?" "I was grieving!" "Well that should make this easier! We have to DESTROY this place!" Said Scoots "Scooty, the bell!" Said Changeshape. "Wha?" Scootaloo asked. "I saw the entire battle in Horse Town. He has a huge bell! He's going to use it to take over REALITY!" "We're going to need help from the army, have you seen Alf?" Asked Twix bar Changeshape transformed so she had a shirt collar to pull while she said "Eeeeeeeeeew oh boy" "He was kinda strangled to death by Grogar. Also the army was all killed." Said Changeshape. Twix Bar didn't say a word. She knew what this meant. "We'll have to do it ourselves!" Said Scootaloo. They all looked at her. "We've been through worse! We CAN do this!" So she got to work on the plan. Well it only took her a few minutes. "Okay everyone, me, Apple Friend, McDreamy, mom, and Dad will all storm the gates. Robotimo, you prepare that catapult you guys built. Twix Bar, when i give the signal, Robotimo will launch you at the bell. Use your amazing power to destroy the bell." So the plan was set. Everyone prepared. Everyone but Robotimo. As soon as the others left, he yelled for Twix Bar. "TWIX, OVER HERE! IN THIS WOODED AREA!" She ran to him. "What's wrong Roboti-" And she stopped. She looked at Robotimo in shock, He had plunged a knife into her chest. "W-why?" She asked. "You know why. I'm sick of you and all of the others. Goodbye, Twix!" "Heh, jokes on you, I have healing magic!" She used her magic, but all it did was make her feel weaker. "No, wha-what did you do to me?" She was getting short of breath. "Think about it." He said, pushing the knife deeper. her eyes widened. "A soulrune knife." She said, tears welling in her eyes. "I'd tell you to have fun in Tartarus, but you won't be going ANYWHERE!" She stumbled. "They'll kill you for this!" She barked. "They can try!" He said, activating his jet feet. He flew away into space. "Mc.....McDreamy.....Please...........McDreamy." Those were her final words. "WE CAN DO THIS EVERYONE!" Said McDreamy with a smile. He just knew everything would be alright.
