//------------------------------// // Chapter One // Story: The Displaced // by Pen Dragon //------------------------------// Unexpected visitors Part One “We really screwed up now.” Infernape said as they gave chase to the little fillies. “What about the food? or Torterra? He isn’t exactly fast.” Lopunny stated as they both dashed way ahead of Torterra. “He’ll be fine, but if we don’t stop those ponies then Suicune is going to have our heads.” Infernape said with a worried expression. Soon both Lopunny and Infernape lost track of where those little fillies went. They looked at their surroundings to find any sort of clue to where they are but to no avail. Frustrated, Infernape’s fiery hair began to blaze as he pounded the ground like a child. “Darn it Where are they?!” He shouted to the heavens. “Listen you need to stay calm and we’ll figure this out together.” Lopunny said as she patted him on the back. Infernape nodded in response. “Alright we need a plan to catch those fillies and explain to them we aren’t going to hurt them.” “Well we better hurry or else they are going to tell peo…I mean ponies about us and you heard what Suicune said.” Infernape reminded. “Alright we should at least wait for Torterra and then we can go search for the CMC.” Lopunny squealed in excitement while Infernape just rolled his eyes. “I’ll never understand what you like about that show Lopunny.” “That’s because you haven’t even bothered to give it a try.” “Like I’d reduce myself to watching a girly fru fru kids show. When I could be watching oh I don’t know anything but that!” Infernape said glaring at her. “The day I watch that show is the day I wear a tutu while singing at the opera.” “You’re just like a child you know that?” She said as she gave him a similar glare. “Guys?....” Torterra said as he came to a complete stop, trying to catch his breath. “What….are….you two...doing?” “None of your business, come on we need to catch those ponies before we get into more trouble. “Do you….think...we lost..them?” Sweetie Belle asked. “I believe we did.” Applebloom answered as she catches her breath. “Guys…..I think we need to get help. Scootaloo suggested. “Ya we need ta get Applejack she’ll know what ta do.” Applebloom said. “She should be at Twilight’s castle right now. She said something about helping Twilight out with something.” “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!” Scootaloo shouted as she ran off to find Applejack followed by Applebloom. “Wait up guys!!” Sweetie Belle said as she was left behind. Back at the Everfree Forest Suicune and Gardevoir had discovered an old castle that was in need of repair. But for Suicune it was perfect for him and his family. He could use it as a temporary home for them while he researched for a way to return every single displaced being home. Just needed to be fixed which wasn’t too big of a problem for him. “This place maybe in ruins dear sister but it’s not something that we can’t handle.” Suicune said as he looked at the old castle. “So spring cleaning?” Gardevoir said smiling. “We get to it eventually, but in the meantime this place will serve as a temporary home.” He said. “Brother, shouldn’t the others have been back by now?” “Now that I think about it they should have returned. It’s two hours since they left and it’s almost noon now. My guess is that they are having a hard time finding food in this forest or they’re in trouble.” Suicune suggested as he rubbed his chin. But just then he began to feel the others energies as well something else. What are those three doing? Don’t tell me that they're actually fighting? I think they are brother. “GAH!” “Gardevoir what have I told you about reading my mind?” Suicune said with a displeased look while Gardevoir just smiled sheepishly. “Urgh! why can’t we just have a normal day?” He muttered to himself. “Gardevoir hop on we’re going to find the others before they cause anymore trouble. “Alright…” She said with a groan as she hopped on Suicune’s back “When I get my paws on them they're going to be in so much trouble.” Suicune dashed off with Gardevoir hanging on tightly, heading to the source of this disturbance. One Hour Earlier. “Thanks for helping me out with these boxes, Applejack I really appreciate it.” Twilight Sparkle said. “Sure thing sugarcube it’s what friends are for.” Applejack said with a grin as she tipped her hat. “So uhh what’s in them boxes anyway?” “It’s some of the old books and photo’s from the library that managed to survive from…..” Twilight then hesitated as she dwelled on the memories of Tirek and their battle. “You alright Twi?” “Oh...yeah I’m alright….it’s nothing really.” Twilight said with a fake smile, but it didn’t fool Applejack in the least. “Now look here Twi I can tell when ya lying and it just ain’t right. If you have a problem just tell me, you can trust me can’t you?” Applejack said reassuring her. “Well I guess…” But before she could finish they heard a knocking at the front door of the castle. “Spike could you get the door please?!” Twilight shouted as a little purple dragon came rushing past them. “Don’t worry I got…..” But the next thing the little drake know’s the door slams open with CMC rushing in the room. “....it” Spike said as he fell to the ground. “We need help!” Applebloom shouted as she ran to her sister. “Alright, Applebloom what’s the matter this time?” Applejack asked. “MONSTERS!!!” The three fillies shouted with an ear piercing scream. “Please calm down?!” Applejack said as she rubbed her ears with her hoof. “Alright girls what’s this about monsters?” Twilight asked. “We saw monsters in the Orchard and when they say us they started chasing us?” Sweetie Belle said. “It's alright girls, let me and Applejack handle this.” Twilight said reassuring them. “But Twilight you don’t understand they’re huge.” Scootaloo exaguated. “We’ll be alright they can’t to much trouble right.” Twilight and Applejack soon exited the castle to confront these monsters, but none were insight at the moment. But soon screaming began as ponies were running in all directions. Some hid inside their homes as the others kept running. Soon a blue pony with a rainbow colored mane crashed into Applejack with tremendous force. “OW!! Hey is that all you got You stupid monkey?!” She shouted as she tried take flight again. But Twilight’s magic grabbed her tail and held her in place. But Twilight gasped as she saw the bruises on her body. “Rainbow Dash what’s going on? And what happened to you?” She asked. “Let go Twi I got a score to settle with a fire breathing monkey.” “A what now?” Applejack said as she regained her composure and dusted herself off. But soon they saw a large orange monkey with fiery hair and similar bruises as well, glaring at Rainbow Dash. Applejack was about to charge at it until a massive turtle came from around the corner and fired a powerful green orb from it’s mouth. “What the hey!” Applejack said as she was barely able to dodge it but was still sent flying back. “That….that can’t be possible for that.…..thing to use magic it’s….impossible!” Twilight said as she took flight into the air. She had never seen creature like these before and she figured that they must be some kind of new species of animals. “TORTERRA!!!” The giant turtle roared as a rain leafs flew from it’s back directly at them. “INFERNAPE!!!” The monkey shouted as fire spewed from it’s mouth but Twilight put a magic barrier to protect them from the blast. “IT CAN BREATHE FIRE!!!” Applejack said. “I know, weird right? But that’s besides the point that monkey’s going down.” Rainbow Dash said as she charged at her foe with great speed, tackling the ape to the ground. “And that’s how it’s done.” “AHH!!!” it shouted as it punched Rainbow in the face and sent her falling back as both the creatures made a run for it. “Rainbow!” both Applejack and Twilight shouted as they ran to her side. “It’s alright guys...ouch! I’m fine.” Rainbow said as she rubbed her cheek. “We need to get the other girls and use the rainbow power and put these back to whatever part of tartarus they came from.” Twilight said with a worried expression. “Wait guy’s there's still another one in the town hiding somewhere.” Rainbow grunted from the pain. “Another one?!” Twilight shouted. “We can continue this later, but what do we do about these two then if we have to find the girls.”Applejack asked. “Rainbow Dash you’re the fastest one here. You can get the girls while Applejack and I buy you sometime. Then we can end this.” Twilight suggested. “Sounds like a plan to me I’ll be back in ten seconds flat.” Rainbow said as she took off into the sky. “Alright Twi what’s the plan?” Applejack asked. “We need to send a letter to Celestia for help. She’ll know what to do with them but in the mean time we need to catch them.” Twilight said. “Well wat are we waiting for then let’s go catch those varmints!” Applejack shouted as they gave chase to whatever those creatures are and find answers. Infernape and Torterra were both out of breath as they collapsed to the ground behind a nearby building. Ever since the Rainbow pony attacked them things haven’t been going well for them. “Dude how did we get into this situation in the first place?” Infernape had to ask because he honestly didn’t know what went wrong. “Well if you would have listened to me then maybe we would have been able to get a few apples and be on our way. But NO! you had to chase after those little fillies when would could be eating right now. I don’t think I’ll last much longer in fight with these ponies. Not only that we lost Lopunny in all of that confusion.” Torterra said with anger. “Alright I get it! But what did you expect me to do, let those ponies walk all over me?” Infernape said. “Um how about not attack the ponies or retreat back into the forest. Because I don’t think they can understand us.” Torterra stated. “Fine let’s find Lopunny, and get the heck out of here. The last thing I need right now is to get into another fight. Really I’m beat from the fight with the rainbow haired pony or whatever her name is? “Well from what Lopunny and Gardevoir told me that must have been Rainbow Dash fastest flyer in Equestria or something like that.” Torterra answered. “Uh huh? yeah Lopunny and Gardevoir told you that.” Infernape said sarcastically with a smirk. He knows that Torterra was a brony back home but he never admits it to anyone. “Enough of that though we need to find Lopunny and get out of here. Oh man Suicune is going to kill us.” Infernape knew he was right. Suicune said to stay hidden until further notice and they blew it. “Well then let’s hurry then. Lopunny is probably going through the same thing. Lopunny was not expecting this one bit, but she wasn’t complaining. She never thought she’d actually meet thee Rarity the famous fashion designer of Equestria. She was too busy running from Rainbow Dash that she’d accidently ran into her. After that Rarity was fascinated by her and offered to give her a makeover I still can’t believe I’m meeting Rarity Eeeeehhh! “Now then darling what do you think would go with your lovely fur.” The white unicorn asked. “Lopunny” “You don’t speak much do you?” Rarity asked causing her to frown. Oh right she can’t understand me. I really wish Gardevoir was here so she could at least translate for me. “Don’t worry dear I’m sure we’ll find a solution to help understand you. We just need to use our heads. Perhaps you could write down what you say.” Rarity suggested. And with that Lopunny nodded as Rarity left the room to go find paper for her. Only thing that Lopunny could think of was Infernape and Torterra. I hope the guys are alright. Kaboom The ground began to shake and causing her to fall. Even Rarity screamed from the other room. That left What was that? “What in the name of Celestia was that?” Rarity shouted as she bursted into the room. Looks like we’re about to find out. End of Chapter
