Chapter 16: Now's The Time To PANIC.
CHAPTER 16
"... N' then they just up n' left. We had our farm back, and Ah' wrote Mah' letter t' Princess Celestia. I didn't learn nothin', I was right all along!" Applejack started laughing, and I couldn't help but chuckle a bit. She had just told me about two traveling cider selling ponies, Flim and Flam. They'd tried to take over Sweet Apple Acres.
"That's awesome. I think I remember seeing them in Manehattan once. The local gang robbed them, and blackmailed them, and eventually ran them out of town." Applejack stared at me like I was nuts.
"That's horrible! How c'n Ya' just talk 'bout somethin' like that like it's nothin'?"
I shrugged. "I've lived with that kind of stuff all of my life. I'm just used to it I guess. But, now I'm not around any of that anymore. And it's thanks to you guys." I smiled at her, and she couldn't help but smile back.
"Well, Ah' didn't do nothin' much..."
"Yeah you did. You were willing to talk to me. That's good enough." We stopped in front of Sugarcube Corner. "Well, seeya Applejack."
"G'bye." I walked inside, and was instantly suspicious. The lights were off, and I didn't hear a sound, and I knew Pinks was there, because she told me that she was going to be home all day, so we were going to go on a date. I looked around a bit, but I didn't find anything...
Asides from a note on the table. That was composed of magazine and newspaper clippings. I knew what that meant, and I felt myself start to sweat.
I picked it up, my hooves trembling. I had to let myself calm down just so I could even hold still enough to read it.
"We have your marefriend. We want our money, Weaver, and we'll take any means necessary to get it. Meet us in the old warehouse outside of town, and we'll come to an agreement. She was screaming your name, Weaver, so we had to... Silence her. Hurry up, or we'll do much worse."
"No... No! This can't be happening! I came here to get away from all this..." I threw the note down. I didn't know what to do.
"If I go, they'll kill me, but if I don't, they'll kill her... What the hay am I thinking? She's the one who deserves to live, not me... Maybe if I can sneak in there, I can get her out. Yeah... Alright, let's do this." I rushed out the door.
(Stop the music.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The warehouse... How cheesy. Now... Any way to get in?" I looked around a bit, and found a ladder leading to the roof. "Perfect..." And on the roof, there was an open skylight window, and looked down inside. I saw two stallions talking to each other.
"...You think he'll show up?" The left stallion looked at the one on the right.
The one on the right shrugged. "I dunno. I doubt it. He's a sissy! And he doesn't care about anypony anyways." I jumped down on top of a few crates, and climbed down to the ground floor. I was completely hidden in the shadows, so I snuck up behind them.
"You know... I have the feeling that we're being watched." I raised my hoof.
"That's because you are." They spun around at my voice, and I hit them both right square in the face. They were both out cold. "And that's what happens when you make me mad..." I kept on moving. This place was huge, but I heard a few muffled cries from deep inside the building, and I followed the sound.
"HEY! HE'S OVER THERE!" Three goons came rushing at me, and they were REALLY big. So, I did the smart thing: I climbed up all of the stuff that was piled up and hid on the top. There was a large box of porcelain figures next to me... "IDEA!" I pushed the box, and it came crashing down on them. They all just collapsed.
"Hehehe... Finally, those little knick-knacks finally get a use." I looked around a bit, and saw an open area with a bright light in it... And the muffled cries were coming from there. I set off as fast as I could, making sure I didn't fall. When I got there, I almost freaked out right there.
"PINKS!" She was tied to a chair, and she had a lot of cuts and bruises on her, and there was a lot of dried blood caked on her coat and in her mane, and on the floor around her. She had a gag in her mouth, and I prayed that it wasn't to stop blood from her tongue, if they cut it out. I yanked the gag off, and she started gasping for air.
"Pinks... Are you OK?" She looked up at me, and almost broke out crying.
"They hurt me really bad... But I'll be fine... I knew you'd come. My hero..." She coughed a little, and some blood came out.
"We need to get you to the hospital." I untied the ropes holding her, and she collapsed on the ground. "Don't worry, I've got you." I picked her up and slung her over my back.
"Who are these ponies...?" I almost tripped. I wasn't expecting that question.
"They... They're after me. I owe them a lot of money... I'm so sorry I dragged you into this." I felt myself tearing up, but I felt Pinks shifting around on my back, and then she wrapped her forehooves around my neck.
"It's alright... You didn't mean it... Hey, Shadow, what does it mean if I feel really tired all of a sudden?" I looked back, and saw that there was a trail of blood behind us. Pinks was bleeding out.
"Oh no... Don't worry Pinks, you'll be fine, just... Just try to stay awake!" I didn't get a response. I froze in place, and looked back at her. She had her eyes closed, and I couldn't see her chest moving. "NO!"
I made a mad dash for the exit.

truth has been spoken.
If you kill pinky, then all things will crash down on itself, and the universe will devour itself, thus creating an infinite amount of paradox's powerful enough to reach out of the fictional world, and destroy the REAL world.
