Caverns & Cutie Marks: High School, High Stakes

by TheColtTrio

Prologue

“Zero. Jan Ken Hufu: Single Overpowered Punch.”

With a single blow, the two-legged creature was defeated. The One That Watched shifted in the dark, viewing the aftermath of the battle as it appeared projected by magic on the wall of its cave. The power of these nine ponies was overwhelming, obviously, and the fact that three of their number came from beyond this world made them all the more dangerous and unpredictable.

Its main body readjusted itself. Its heads conversed. With the three great threats out of the way, the nine ponies would soon be on their way back to their own realms. Which would be a boon to it, if this world would survive their leaving. The mismatched puppet master had brought this world into being and his leaving might mean the end of it.

“It might not,” one head said.

“But it might,” another replied.

“But it might not,” a third intoned.

“It probably would,” yet another muttered.

“It is too dangerous to wait and find out.” On this, all heads could agree.

There was a way out of the possible end of everything. The heads focused, each one channeling a power. Each power was leeched from one of the nine otherworldly invaders. They wouldn’t notice, now that they were leaving.

The cavern filled with light, a window coalescing to someplace unknown. It focused more, widening the opening further and further. On the other side, strange creatures stomped about flat stone streets on their hind legs, manipulating strange devices in their forelegs.

“It will do,” one head said.

“It will have to,” said another.

They would find out.
