A Brony Life
Chapter 15: Bullies versus New Kids
Previous Chapter Next ChapterWhat's up! I'm glad to see that everyone's still enjoying the story! Even with it reaching 15 chapters as of right now! You know... I think I should do something. I'm gonna hold a contest! The winner get's their own OC to be featured some times in the story! Now, it won't be a main character, but the OC will be mentioned throughout the story as a background character, or even at times that I have them as a main character! The winner will get the info on how to make the OC. The question will be the QotC (Question of the Chapter).
Okay, with that said, on with the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own MLP.
As the lap around the school block went on, I still had that feeling. Something wasn't right. What was Morgue and his friends talking about? Whatever it was, it had to do with me and my friends. They ran off and sprinted ahead of the whole class. Morgue and Mike didn't have a problem running the lap faster then anyone else, and, as lame as it sounded, Mike carried Joe with them so they all could get ahead of the class.
When I was in deep thought about this, I tripped about halfway through the lap, where I was behind the elementary school. I thought nothing of it and tried to get up, but my leg was caught on something. Rope to be exact. I tripped from a snare that was wrapped around my foot.
I tried to get out of it, but it was tied tight to my ankle. When I finally stood up with the snare still wrapped around my foot, I was pulled to the ground by it, then pulled towards the woods behind the elementary school. I clawed for anything that could stop me from being pulled away, but I only caught grass that waspulled along with me. Within a few seconds, I was pulled into the woods just deep enough where no one could see me.
Pinkie's POV
As we all ran around the schools in a giant circle, I started twitching! A LOT! "AH! Twitchy twitch!" I yelled out. I was twitching all over the place! Something really bad is about to happen!
"What is it Pinkie?" Twi asked me.
"Well, it's something going on in the forest over there!" I said, pointing to the forest behind the small school that had little kids in a yard playing games. That's where my Pinkie Senses were pointing me to anyway.
"Let's go everypony! It might be something going on with Blitz!" Twila said, taking the lead. All of us ran after her, running faster this time.
Zeke/Blitz POV
"Woah, what's going on!" I yelled out as I grabbed onto a tree to keep myself from getting pulled further into the forest. I was already too deep into the forest for anyone to see me though.
"What's going on is that were going to, ahem, thank you for everything that's happened today." I turned and saw Joe with a confident smirk, followed by Morgue and Mike, who were happy the snare plan worked.
"Thank me?! Your kidding right?" I asked as I stood up, the snare still around my ankle.
"Yeah. Thanking you for what you said earlier today, for Joe getting written up and an F on his test, and for breaking Mike's hand." Morgue said as he cracked his knuckles. "And don't worry. Will make sure the green haired loser, the ugly cowgirl, that wimpy butterfly lover, and the rest of your 'friends' get a proper thank you too."
"Pfft. Like I'm letting you do that." I said dryly as I finally got the snare off of me. I got ready for a fight as I stared Morgue down.
Morgue laughed at me as he looked to his friends. Mike was chuckling a little, as Joe sat there with his evil looking smirk. "Ya hear that boys. The robot thinks he take us on all by himself."
"Who said it was just him?" We all looked behind me, and what I saw I smiled at. It was all of my friends I had met today, all coming up to us. Pinkie, Twila, Spike, Jackie, Rainbow, Felicia, and that girl with them I still never met. As I looked at her, another split second flash happened and it was Rarity. It all clicked in. They were all here to help me.
"Ha. Really? Oh no, the WonderGirls and their spiky haired sidekick are here to 'defeat' us." Joe said as he stepped up. "Please, you all look like a bunch of hyperactive mental patients. Especially cotton candy girl right there." He said as he pointed to Pinkie.
"You have no right to insult us you ruffian." The pampered girl said as she stepped up.
"Yeah, shut up four-eyes!" Rainbow said as she stepped up next.
"Oh very clever, coming from what seems like a tomboy, with a fettish for rainbows." Joe noted. Rainbow gritted her teeth.
"That's it! Your gonna pay for that!" Rainbow said as she charged towards Joe, angrier then she's ever been.
I looked from the side lines as Rainbow was still running forward, but Mike had switched places with Joe and had his arm pulled back, ready to slug Rainbow right in the face. I wasn't about to let that happen.
When Rainbow saw they had switched places, she was running to fast to turn around, and was already within punching range. I acted quickly and charged in. Right as Mike brought his fist forward, I did the dumbest thing I could think of. I pushed Rainbow out of the way and stood in place of where she was.
I took the punch right to the right cheek. It was so hard a punch that I not only did it strike blood, but it sent me a foot or two into face first into a tree. From there, I was barely consious.
"Blitz!" Rainbow got up from where she was pushed to the ground and went over to me, concerned.
I simply chuckled weakly and spat up a little blood. "Wow, I'm an idiot." I said, very quiet. I then went out cold, not able to stay awake from the two hard hits I took one right after another.
3rd Person POV
"What right did you have to do any of this?!" Twila asked as she looked back at the group.
"Wow. Being the leader of the rag tag team of girls, I thought you would be at least a little smart. Turns out, your just as ignorent as the rest of them." Joe said with a bored expression and voice.
"Now you better be shuttin up. You and yer friends don't have any idea who your messing with. Now y'all can either give yerselves up, or stay and fight like the slippery varmits you are!" Jackie challenged.
"Slippery varmits?" Morgue laughed at jackie's southern tone. "Wow, Joe was right. Your just an ugly cowgirl." He insulted her.
"What did ya just say?!" Jackie reached under her hat and pulled out her rope. She then tried to catch Morgue.
Sadly, Morgue saw the rope and already had a plan. He quickly moved out of the way and grabbed the rope out of the air. He then yanked the rope and Jackie with it. She caught herself and kept her balance, but she was right in front of Morgue.
"Aw, ain't that a cute. The lil tough cow girl thought she could take on Morgue and his possy. Darn shame her ropin plan didn't go so well and backferd on er huh?" Morgue said, mocking Jackie's accent.
Morgue then took the rope and wrapped it around Jackie, tying her up. He turned her around and kicked her to the ground. Morgue then tipped a cowboy hat off to Jackie. "And thank ye kindly fer the hat and cash. Didn't know a cow girl like you would have twenty seven dollars on her person." He said as he held out the money that Jackie had in her back pocket.
When Felicia saw that Morgue had stolen Jackie's hat, and her money, she got a sudden burst of courage and stepped up, looking Morgue dead in the eye with 'The Stare'. "Why! Why would you do this?! What have any of us ever done to you?! Nothing mister! You should know it's not right to just steal things, or hurt people, or bully people! Just becasue you can, does not mean you should! Now are you going to give back everything you've stolen?! Or will I have to keep giving you 'The Stare' until you do?!" Felicia yelled, being right in Morgue's face.
Morgue simply tried to keep himself from laughing. He then looked at his friends, who were a little taken back by Felicia's stare, but Morgue wasn't affected. "Really? Guys, this. Is. Nothing. Watch the real master at work." He cleared his throat then started to turn around.
He then looked to Felicia and gave his signiture 'Death Glare', which made everyone but Felicia take a step back in fear. "Who are you to tell me what to do?! All you are, is a wimpy little girl, that thinks she can stand up for some losers! You couldn't stand up to a fly if you wanted to! All you are, is a big talker with a lame a** stare! If you want to make an impression, then do something about it! Like this!" He pushed her to the ground an kept up his Death Glare, as her Stare faltered into tears and shivering. "You! Aren't! ANYTHING!" Morgue yelled out.
Felicia then got up and backed away slowly, scared to tears from Morgue. The others were in shock that not only did the stare not work, but Morgue's death glare overpowered it.
Joe cleared his throat, getting everyone's attention. "I think were done here." Joe announced as he took a few steps towards the girls and Spike. Morgue nodded, as did Mike, letting Joe have a turn to step up.
"No were not. We won't let you get away with any of this!" Twila said as she went forward, not letting them get away. Not after what they did to her friends.
"Yes we are. A few of you aren't even in any condition to fight. The robot's unconsious, the Tomboy doesn't want to leave his side, the cowgirl is tied up with something else at the moment, and butterfly girl is falling apart. There is no way that four of you can defeat us, while eight of you weren't enough to begin with." Joe noted.
Twila glared at Joe, but he wasn't done. "If you truely want to get revenge, your money, or your dignity back, then we will wait for you in front of the high school after school ends. Maybe then you will all get it together and maybe even stand a chance." Him and the other two chuckled. "Oh who am I kidding. Not even something unexpected will help you." Joe walked over to his friends. "Come on gentlemen. I do believe we have a lap to finish up."
Joe and Mike went ahead, as Morgue simply smirked at all of them. "Ya know, all of this could've been avoided if you just ignored Zeke like everyone else. He's a waste of time. You know what he is? He's a loser with bad luck." He said as he poined to Zeke. "His mom died because she stayed in that run down house just to be with him. Becasue of the accident, he had to be turned part robot. His drug addict dad is the only real family he has left. And to top it all off, anyone that's friends with him just gets messed up or worse. They get the same bad luck as him." He explained to them. They all glared at him after his monologue.
Morgue then looked at Zeke and saw something. He went over and looked at Zeke's neck, seeing a necklace with something made of silver on it. "Hello, what do we have here?"
He grabbed the necklace and yanked it off of Zeke. He looked at it an saw it was a sharktooth necklace with very small gears that resembled the Cutie Mark from Blitz on both sides of the sharktooth made with silver. The necklace part was just some string, but that didn't bother Morgue. "This might be worth some money." He said as he stuffed it in his pocket. "Well, see you losers later." He said, tipping off his new hat to them as he ran off to join his friends.
The whole group was glaring at Morgue as he left, but looked back at Zeke with sadness in their eyes. "He's been through all of that, and no pony ever gave him a chance." Twila said.
All of them were sad. During the story, Pinkie's hair started to deflate from sadness. Felicia started to weep even more. Rainbow had clenched her fists, mad that those three had made Zeke's life worse. Spike was speechless and trembling a little at what he had heard. The rest had similar reactions, but it all showed one thing. Remorse.
After a few moments, Zeke started to wake up. He saw that all his friends were sad and hurt, and he got angry "We need to get them back." He said dryly, making all of them jump to attention and look at him. "Thing is, what do we do?" Zeke asked as he started to get up.
"What do we do?" Twila asked rhetorically. "We stand up to them! We can't just let them bully anyone anymore!" Twila noted with entuisiasm.
Zeke took in what Twila said and smiled, agreeing. "Yeah. Your right Twilight! We can't just let them win! We need to stand up to them!" Zeke said, purposly saying 'Twilight' instead of 'Twila'.
"Blitz's right! We can't let them no good bullies get the best of us! Besides, I ain't standin down and lettin that weasel keep my hat! That hat means so much to me." Applejack said as she stood up, getting her rope off of her. She remembered just how she got that hat, and started to get angry that Morgue stole it.
"As does my necklace. That's the last thing I have left from my mom, and Morgue isn't keeping that from me!" Zeke said, getting angry too. He realized his necklace was missing and the only explaination was that Morgue stole it.
"Blitz... Is what Morgue said... True? He said that everypony avoided you because... You were bad luck." Fluttershy said as she stood up from the ground, wiping the tears off of her face.
"Yeah. Ever since that incident, I was treated like crap because those three kept saying I was bad luck. Anyone that tried to stand up and say I wasn't was either beaten up, or got hurt some other way in an accident. I guess I am bad luck." Blitz said, sighing.
"No. No, your not bad luck." Blitz looked up and saw everyone smiling at him. Twilight continued. "While we've all been friends with you, sure we've had some things happen to us, but it was never anything we couldn't handle. None of us regret having you for a friend. In fact, everyone loves having you as a friend. We wouldn't have it any other way."
Blitz was surprised. He never had this many friends before in his life. They all were friends with him, becasue of how he was. Not from being part robot, or lies he hid himself behind, but for how he was on the inside. "I've never had friends like you guys before. I was always alone. No one ever stuck by me and liked me for a friend. Not even my own father. But you guys are real friends. You stuck by me, even when you didn't have to. Thank you." He finished with a smile.
All of his new friends smiled a little more and came in for a group hug. Blitz never liked hugs, because it was just uncomfortable for him. It didn't stop Blitz from smiling though as he was still happy to be around his friends.
Blitz felt a tear come from him. He had never cried a day in his life after the incident, and chose to just face anything life threw at him alone since no one stuck by his side. But here he was, facing his past with a bunch of friends at his side.
"Come on everypony, we have three bullies to stop." I said to them all.
They all nodded, saying different things like "Yeah!" or "Those three are going down!".
As Blitz looked at all seven of his friends in front of him, he had one more split second flash and saw them all in their pony (and dragon, in Spike's case) forms. He smiled, and knew just what his new life was going to be like as soon as he woke up.
Well, looks like Morgue and his pals are in for a rude awakening. With all eight of them at once, will Morgue's group stand a chance? How will the group of eight prevail? Will Blitz ever wake up? Find out next chapter!
QotC: What object do you hold dear to you? (Ex: Applejack's hat; Blitz's Sharktooth necklace) Explain why.
Best answer gets to enter their OC as a background/supporting character!
