Tale of the Face Puncher

Griffin the Punch-Off

Griffon the Punch-Off

Ponyville’s market was bustling with customers as I walked up to the carrot stall. The pony behind the stall handed me a bag full of fresh carrots free of charge because she knows that my face punching skills are so awesome after I showed her last week.

It’s funny that all the ponies just give me free food whenever I walk up to them. I bet they just know how great my skills are and do it to honour me or some shit. Deciding I had enough food for the next couple of days I started walking back to the library.

As I passed under a strangely low flying cloud I looked up and saw a heavily chromatic tail peeking out the side. I stared at the cloud and punched in it’s direction. It immediately broke up and a cyan pegasus fell to the down. I walked up to her and pointed my fist in her direction. Rainbow Dash’s face broke into a look of pure fear. I calmly looked back at her and whispered. “No.” She immediately nodded before climbing to her hooves and flew away.

After getting a quick nap I decided to walk around town again. As I approached the market I watched as a familiar Griffon stole an apple for a nearby stand. I walk up and leaned against a nearby building. When Gilda passed by I called out to her. “You’re a bitch and no one wants you here.”

The griffin froze in shock before looking over to me. Her jaw dropped while looking at my badassness. Then her expression changed to one of anger. “How dare you say that to me!” She screeched before flapping her large wings and darting towards me.

She flared her claws and swiped them at my chest. I dodged sideways a step before swinging an arm forward, catching her directly on the beak. Gilda flew back, landing heavily against the side of a building. Unlike all the other ponies the irate griffin stood up and roared before pouncing at me again. Again I dodged and with a fist launched her back into the market square, scattering nearby ponies as the griffins large form crashed through them.

I charged forward and lifted her feathery body up by her throat. The griffin struggled under the powerful grip that was making it hard to breath until I brought one powerful fist back and launched it forward, impacting Gilda’s face and propelling her away until she was nothing but a speck in the distance.

I laughed as I mumbled to myself. “Looks like Team Gilda’s blasting off again.”
