Ch. VI: Saturday Nights and Discoveries

(That Night…)

The night air was cool against their fur as a quintet of equines stepped out into the streets of Neigh Jersey. All 5 girls were dressed to the nines as it would be that they were out clubbing. It had only just reached 8:30pm when they all managed to meet up with the boys that made up their specific crew.

“Hello girls, you all look fabulous this evening.”, Salem complimented the group of girls. Earning a spattering of ‘thank you’re in return.

“Well, We all have this one” Zelda paused to indicate towards Solange “to thank for that! After making sure her sitter was situated, she all but apparated to each of our houses to make sure we were all ready. Thankfully I was already at Amaris’s place so that helped in getting ready.”, She finished breathlessly.

“Oh...what can I say? I haven't had a night out since Apollo was born and my mom all but forces me out of the house tonight with the promise that her grandson was safe with her.”, Solange stated her reasoning to general good-natured laughs from her friends.

“Yes. Also, I feel like we only just saw each other.”, Amaris's said.

“That's because we did. Remember? Earlier at the park?”, Terra aided her... slightly aloof friend from potential awkwardness.

“Oh yeah! Thanks cailín. Somehow I forgot.”, Amaris replied with a hoof nervously scratching her neck.

“That's okay. It happens to everypony once in a while!”, Sabrina remarked to her friend.

The seven equines stopped outside a lit up nightclub. The bouncer asked them for I.Ds and with the clearance, they entered. As was expected, the place was loud, chaotic and the scent of hormones and weed permeated the air. In other words, a typical Saturday night at Crazy Eight’s Nightlife Club and Casino. As the group of 7 split up: with Sabrina and Zeus heading towards the Casino, Zelda and Salem gravitating towards the buffet and the remaining trio headed to the bar to summon some “liquid courage” for any of them to be able to have some real ‘fun’.

“Alright girls! I know this week's been a form of Tartarus in itself, but let's remember why we're here!”, Solange said as she clapped both her best friends on the back.

“To let loose like the crazy bitches we are!”, Amaris and Terra howled together in response to their (somehow not yet buzzed) friend.

“Hell yeah girls! Now let's do it!”, Solange said as she ordered three cockatrice blasters from the bartender. Chugging down the drinks, Terra managed to get to her hooves faster than the others and was all on the dance floor.

“Now that filly knows what she's doing.”, Amaris said as she threw back her shot of dragon whiskey.

“Duh! Hmmm...I’m getting a feeling.”, Solange said as her voice got steadily slurred.

“Oh yeah? What kinda feeling?”, Amaris replied with a question as she felt a disturbing tingle in the back of her eyes. Ignoring it, she simply continued to pour shots for the two of them.

“Like...like something bad is gonna happen.”, Solange said as she flipped her blonde and orange mane back over her shoulder.

(Around the same time, but on the opposite side of the nightclub…)

Terra and Zelda managed to meet up on the casino's balcony floor to attempt to sober up for a moment with some food. So that's what they were doing, simply eating and talking at the buffet. All of a suddenly, a group of strapping young stallions, obviously a bit older than themselves, came cantering up to them. Large, hungry smiles upon their faces as the 4 of them start trying to talk to the two high schoolers.

“Uhh, excuse me?! I do believe we're far too young for the likes of you boys! Now if you’ll excuse us.”, Zelda spoke in a sassy voice that all but was followed by a grimace from the ‘leader’ of the quartet of colts.

“Nah. Nah I think we'll just stick around for a while longer. After all, with practically no pony else around and the fact that there's two incredibly fine ass ladies with us. We could have ourselves a little bit of...fun. Whaddya say boys? Should we show these fillies a good time in the V.I.P section?”, The leader, a tall butter coated earth pony said to his boys with a predatory grin on his face.

“N-no!”, The shocked equines stammered out as they backed up slowly. Suddenly Terra felt her horn tingle and all of a suddenly, she could hear herself give off a mental distress call to Solange and Amaris. A simply plea of ‘help me’ was all it took for a moment later, two more young mares appeared with clearly annoyed (and slightly plastered) faces. Snarling, Solange yelled at the group of colts to go away.

“Oh look here! Two more for my other boys! Alright boys, take your pick and let's show these ladies a good time.”, The leader spoke in a chillingly sweet voice to his three friends as they all advanced on the 4 hapless mares. Their intent clear on their faces.

“I fear for me and you! Girls, what do we do?”, Zelda freaked out as she stood paralyzed by one of the unicorn stallions.

All of a suddenly, the three unicorns felt a completely foreign feeling come over them all as they instinctively got closer to one another as the unicorn that paralyzed Zelda advanced towards her in a sloppy, clearly drunken kiss. They didn't know why, but they somehow knew how to stop the absolute pricks that were attempting to rape them. Standing together, the started chanting in pony Latin.

vae canibus. veneficas enim tribus viribus McCracken hoc vobis malediceret!”, the three young mares shouted as their horns glowed blood red, neon green and onyx black respectively.

et draco lingua. Saturni dente relictam ab anguis. est profunda passiones huius temporis tua fata! McCracken per haec est lex erit? Secula seculorum!!

The three unicorns eyes lit up in the same colors of their auras as they launched a brilliant blend of the three colored magics at the stunned quartet of idiots. Being airlifted by the magic, each of the four of them were tortured inside and out. Two of them were literally turned inside out, one was set on fire and Amaris used a conjured up voodoo doll that looked like the leader and plunged a dagger that Solange summoned into its head. Effectively, the yellow leader soon found himself impaled through the head via a nearby carving knife. When they stopped finally, Zelda was shocked to see the twisted mangled bodies of their would-be rapists. She was absolutely floored to see the equally twisted smiles on her three friends faces as they laughed like insane mares.

“W-W-What?”, was the only thing Zelda could utter before fainting.

Once their eyes returned to normal (Solange’s blue, Terra’s mulberry and Amaris’s gold), the three of them dispelled their magic before looking in horror at what lay before them. Solange double checking that Zelda was okay. Once she was sure, Amaris levitated Zelda onto her back as Terra called the others on her phone telling them it was time to go before apparating to the back alley of the club.

(The streets of Neigh Jersey)

The seven friends met up at a nearby park. While Salem and Zeus were trying to console a visibly disturbed Zelda the other four were truly freaking out at what just happened nearly 30 minutes prior.

“Okay okay so let me get this straight: You and ‘Zee-Zee’ were minding your own business up on the very empty balcony and all of a sudden these 4 huge colts come at you two like some creepers. When Terra somehow called for help, you two came and after that you guys all blacked out for a second before you came to. Laughing like insane asylum patients as you looked upon the bodies of said creepers. Yeah that sounds absolutely fucked up!”, Sabrina said as she placed the ground. The three unicorns nodding in shame.

“I dunno what happened that we blacked out, but I felt something. Something that was telling me that we were doing right. Ya know? By k-killing those guys.”, Terra said shakily.

“Me too. Like...like our magics and subconsciousness were in harmony or something like that.”, Alaris replied equally shaken.

“I may not know what the fuck happened back there, but I know sompony who can shed some light on the matter.”, Solange said.

“Who?”, The rest responded in curiosity.

“Duh? Our moms! C’mon you guys, let's head to my house.”, Terra said as the rest of their little gang followed in the warm dark night.
