A Brony Life
Chapter 36: Bigger They Are Harder They Explode? (6)
Previous Chapter Next ChapterNote: Before this chapter starts, I need to tell you all why it's taken me so long to put this final chapter up. My laptop' internet wasn't working and my parents wouldn't let me use their laptops because they have this wedding photography business they've been working on. All I have left is an iPad and a REALLY OLD Desktop that doesn't even open any internet browsers half the time. And since writing and posting is impossible for me with iPad's auto-correct... Yeah. So sorry it took so long.
Now to begin the actual intro!
What is up every pony! Welcome to the final part of this episode! I know that this episode has been a little crazy, but like I've said before, I'm just really excited that my school year is finally over! So yeah, that's why I've made the episode like this. But with all this happening, there is one thing I want to say at least one time outside of the disclaimer to make sure that it's clear. Every song that is underlined do not belong to me. The artist that is also underlined are the ones who created and own the song.
"Speakin of, why can't ya play songs that all of us would like?" Applejack asked as she came into view.
"Hm... I guess you have a point. But I don't think that all the readers like every type of music. Kinda just gotta stick to one type of music for one episode. Still, I'll try to include more country. Happy?" I asked.
"Much more. Thank ya kindly Gamer." She said to me. She then glared at me. "But I hope ya know that I ain't taken kindly ta tha name Country Apple. That's just down right insultin the more I see it now." She told me with her glare right at me.
I nodded, both understanding and a little fearful. "Noted. Anyway, let's move onto the top three comments!
3: Justus80. I think Tank always had a second meaning behind his name, and how you explained why you like him described it perfectly! Also, yeah I thought Country Apple was pretty fun-
*Applejack clears throat* I mean!... It wasn't right of me to call her that, but I'm glad you enjoyed my petty humorous joke... *Flashes a fake smile, which makes Applejack stop glaring a little*
2: EpicPie1. Glad to see my raccoon pet is considered a favorite out of the seven! Also... A camera eye huh?... Maybe that's not such a bad idea...
Applejack: Uh, Gamer? I don't think Blitz would appreciate you just given him bitonics outta tha blue like that.
Yeah, your probably right. Still, I might just have to keep EpicPie's idea in mind.
1: Mage of Psychics. Glad to see your feeling a little better after the last chapter. I hope you enjoy this chapter too.
Applejack: And thanks for considerin my Winona as one a tha best pets outta tha whole pack. That brightens up my day too.
/
So with all that outta the way, let's get the disclaimer done, and start the chapter!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything related to MLP, or any music that is underlined. They belong to the artists who are also underlined.
After getting back to Ponyville, we all started looking around for the final thing. My tail. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy ended up flying everywhere outside of Ponyville to help look for my tail, while the rest of us ended up simply walking around Ponyville.
Since I was so used to lugging around my tail, I wasn't used to flying around without it. The tail itself weighed around twenty pounds, so with that weight off me I could fly up twenty feet in the air with a single flap of my wings if I tried hard enough. I didn't really like that so I stuck with just hoofing it around Ponyville until we found it.
"So where exactly did ya lose it at?" Applejack asked me.
"I don't know. I mean after I went head first into that tree, I forgot everything that happened yesterday. I can only remember a few things. Tail not included." I told her.
"Man, where do we begin though?" Pon-3 asked.
"Well, we have all of Ponyville and everywhere around it. To find my tail could take us-" "Guys, we found it!" "seconds..." I said, finishing the sentence Rainbow Dash interrupted.
"What is it sugarcube?" Applejack asked, looking as Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy flew down to us.
"I found Blitz's tail," Rainbow Dash started "but it's not good." She finished.
"Well where is it?" I asked.
"It's all electrified and stuck to a giant Timberwolf in Everfree Forest. Key word being giant." Rainbow Dash told us.
"Oh, that's just great..." I mumbled.
"Why was yer tail all electrified in tha first place?" Applejack asked, looking at me.
"Well... Um..." That's when everything got blurry for the umpteenth time today. "And here we go..." I said before passing out and having a flashback.
Flashback #7, Blitz's POV
"Nice song EM! Get the next one rolling, quick!" DJ Pon-3 asked as she worked on her DJ system.
"Got it!" I said over the noise the crowd in front of us was making. I closed my eyes in thought as I tried to think of another song to play.
But as I did, Pon-3 saw something. "Uh Metal?... What's with the raccoon?" She asked.
"Raccoon?" I asked her, confused. She pointed to where my ear was on the system and out of all raccoons, there was RJ. Trying to pull out my ear.
"RJ!" I yelled out. "What are you doing here?!" In response, all I got was a fake yawn and a gesture towards Sweet Apple Acres. I guessed that he was bored.
"That's no excuse to try to steal something!" That's when he pulled my ear out. "Hey, give back my ear!" I commanded.
He just stuck his tongue out at me and jumped off the platform. I tried to grab him, but it was too late. "Every pony! Help!" I said to them all. Through the mic, they all heard what happened and got ready to catch him.
But before he got close enough to catch, out of no where came Tank, propelling up to catch him. RJ caught on of Tank's legs and held on as he gave his two finger salute at all of us. From there, he grabbed both of Tank's front legs, and steered it like a hang glider back to Sweet Apple Acres.
"Tank?!" I shouted out in both slight anger and confusion. Even though I was really mad
Without hesitation, I pulled out a few thunder cupcakes I asked Pinkie to make for the party later. Thank goodness she didn't have any of them to, because if she did the party might've kept on going until Twilight and Rarity got back the next day.
So I ate half the cupcake and immediately got electrically charged. I then flew after the two of them, able to catch up to them with extreme ease.
But as I started to catch up, RJ was prepared. He chattered something along the lines that sounded like an apology and threw his boomerang at me, hitting my tail. This made me fly out of control and I ended up spinning around. But before they could get away, I accidentally tagged Tank before flying down. That made him fly out of control too.
So I crashed into the ground a few seconds later, not having a good landing. I ended up flopping around as I hit the ground too, which hurt to say the least. And after landing, my tail had somehow dislodged itself from me and was flying off towards the forest with all of my electricity energy flowing through it.
But I ignored it as I saw RJ lose his grip on Tank, who still had no control, but was somehow still able to fly himself towards Sweet Apple Acres. RJ then landed ahead of me, using his umbrella to help land safely.
"RJ, are you okay?" I asked as I started to go over.
He replied with a quick thumbs up and started a mad dash to Sweet Apple Acres, my ear still in his bag of tools.
I sighed and shook my head at the sight and got ready to chase. "And the chase goes on..." I said as I flew off, forgetting my tail.
End Flashback
"Well, guess that answers that question..." I said as I started to stand back up. To the looks of it, they pulled me out-of-the-way of the street so I wouldn't be in the middle of it, in a flashback comma.
"What?" All four of them asked in complete unison. That was a little un-nerving, but I shook it off and stood up.
"Well, I absorbed a cloud so I could catch up to Tank and RJ. But when I crashed, my tail flew off, all of the electricity built up in it." I said, telling them. "Great, now some big recycled wolf has it." I summed up.
"Then I guess that means that were just gonna have ta take it back." Applejack said confidently.
I sighed kind of deeply and muttered, "Just. My. Luck." Then I looked to Rainbow Dash. "Well, can you take us where he is?" I asked her.
"Sure, follow me every pony." She said flying off to the Everfree Forest with us following her by hoof.
After we got to Everfree Forest, we had to walk around in it for around ten minutes before Rainbow Dash stopped all of us behind a bush. "Okay guys, this is about where I saw the Timberwolf." She told all of us.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's just go and find the stupid wood wolf so I can get my tail back." I said, rising to find the wolf. But when I did, Applejack and Rainbow Dash both pulled me down.
"Did that hit to the head knock the sense outta ya?! Ya can't just go out and hunt down a Timberwolf!" Applejack told me.
"Yeah! If we can't just go out and take it down, what makes you think you can?!" Rainbow Dash said to me.
They were both acting kind of scared about some 'giant' Timberwolf. Some big wolf made of wood couldn't be that scary could it? "Pfff, come on. I'm a carpenter, do any of you think that I'm scared of anything that has to do with wood?" I asked them. And after saying that, I peeked out of the bush to look around again.
Applejack just sighed while the rest of them stayed down. "We tried ta warn ya Blitz. Be careful." She ducked down with the rest of them. There was no point in hiding though since wolves had higher senses and could find us easier. That and Fluttershy's shaking was moving the whole bush back and forth.
"I know, I know." I said as I looked around some more, trying to find any hint of my tail. As I looked around, I didn't see any wierd pile of wood. "You all know we don't even need to hide right? There's not even any Timberwolves around here." I said, stepping out of the bush.
One by one, they all looked out and saw that I was right. They all then sighed in relief quietly and stepped out. All of them except for Fluttershy, who just kept shaking the bush she was in with fear.
"Fluttershy, you can come out now." I reminded her.
"N-no that's o-okay Blitz... I feel safer right here..." She said really quietly and scared.
I sighed, knowing she would slow us down with this. "No offense Fluttershy but with how much you're shaking, the bush isn't going to hide you." I said to her calmly. A few seconds later she slowly started to come out. She was only half way out and had a scared look on her face, but she was still out of the bush none the less.
I then faced back forward and looked around where Rainbow Dash said she found my tail, which was a clearing of some kind. It had some big paw prints that were obviously from Timberwolves. It was obvious because it looked like a wolf paw print with some parts missing, and it had small twigs around it. It looked like it was about twice the size of a bear.
I looked to where the print pointed to and saw some twigs and branches that had snapped from something passing by. I mentally hoof-bumped my tracking 101 skills and started to go in that direction slowly.
"You guys go ahead and get back to Ponyville. It'll be safer if I can just get it and get out without you all getting in danger or something." I said, trying to be a hero. I could easily take out some lone giant Timberwolf.
"What?! No way!" Rainbow Dash said to me. "Were not letting you just go off by yourself to fight that giant Timberwolf!"
"Rainbow Dash's right! We can't just let ya go off on your on ta fight a big old Timberwolf! It's all of us, or none a us!" Applejack said, backing Dash up.
I knew I wasn't fighting them off from this, but what I didn't expect was the other too as well. "Yeah dude. We can't just let you go off one on one against a Timberwolf. Even though you got half of you made of metal, you don't stand a chance without our help!" Pon-3 added. Geeze, she had a lot of confidence in me didn't she?
Oh well, at least I can still convince Fluttershy to- "And... And I'm afraid I can't let one of my friends go off against a mean and scary Timberwolf. I'm helping... If that's okay with you Blitz..." Fluttershy told me. There goes talking any of them out of this.
I sighed and shook my head. "Why do I even..." I started mumbling to myself. "Fine. If all of you are coming then follow me." I told them, walking off towards where the trail led off. They all followed, a little cautious but reluctant about following me.
After a little more walking, we finally came across another clearing. I was in front of the group and got out first, really wanting to find my tail so we could all just get out of here already.
"So... Do you see your tail yet Blitz..." Fluttershy asked as she stepped into the clearing last.
"Uh..." I quickly looked around and saw something shine a little. "Hold on." I said as I went up to it.
As I approached it, I saw that it was flat and was yellow, but it had dirt and wood surrounding it so it was hard to notice. When I saw a bit of electricity emit from it, I was sure of it. "Yeah, here it is!" I yelled out then started running towards it.
What I didn't notice was the wood around me start to levitate with an eery green magic. I jumped on top of the pile and picked up my tail, unaffected to the lightning emitting from it. But the wood around me wasn't unaffected by it.
The wood started to gather around me, being pulled in by the electricity of my tail. "Metal, look out!" Pon-3 tried to warn me.
"Huh?" I asked, turning around to face them. But when I did, I saw what they were all freaking out about. The wood gathered around me and formed together, making something that resembled a cage form around me. "Woah!" I said in surprise.
After the cage made of stray pieces of wood formed around me, more wood started to come. It started making four limbs on the corners of the cage, and some wood started to form around the front. That's when I realized that I wasn't in a cage. I was in a chest of a Timberwolf.
As its head and paws finished forming, it roared at the others loudly as I saw my tail start to glow with the same eery green magic that the wood had. It then was pulled out of my hooves and came out the back of the beast's chest, forming as the tail.
"Guys..." I started. "I know you all want to stick by me and all, but I need you to calmly and quietly- RUN!" I yelled out to them as the Timberwolf started charging at them.
They all didn't question me this time as they all turned and ran away from the Timberwolf that started to run after them. With each and every step the beast took, I went up and down in his chest, hitting the top and bottom of his chest. The fact that it was nothing but splinter covered wood didn't make it any more comfy.
Not only were the splinters giving me a splitting headache, but the screams from all my friends were ringing in my only ear. That just added to the uncomfy effect.
Eventually, I couldn't stand it all anymore and I tried to fight back. Every time I landed back on the bottom of the cage, I tried to buck one of the pieces of wood out-of-place so I could get out.
That only made the Timberwolf shake around in anger. And when he noticed it was me that was hurting him, he quickly took care of that problem. Since his chest was only made out of wood, he was able to take take a deep breath, making the cage close in on me and cause me to get hit over and over even more. This ended up knocking me out after a bunch of hits, leaving him free to chase my friends once again.
Applejack's POV
This isn't good at all! Not only is Blitz trapped, but all of us are being chased by a giant Timberwolf! We all kept running, knowing that if that Timberwolf catches us, we could wind up in the same problem as Blitz or worse!
"Yo Country Apple! What do we do?!" DJ Pon-3 called out to me, seeing as how I was at the head of the group. I couldn't help but frown a little at the name Country Apple. It was both confusing and annoying that Blitz had introduced me as that name.
"Gimme a second ta think a somethin'!" I told her as I tried to think of something.
"We don't have a second!" Rainbow Dash yelled at me, mad that I was trying to take my time to come up with a plan.
Luckily for all of us, I already had a good idea thought up. "Okay! Rainbow! You and Fluttershy get back ta Ponyville and try and find Twilight and Rarity. They've gotta be back by now." I told them.
"Got it! Come on Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash said as she flew off, Fluttershy following behind.
"Country Apple! What about us?!" Pon-3 asked, getting a little winded by the sound of her voice.
"Well..." I looked ahead and saw some tree branches ahead. "See them branches up ahead? Pull em back and let em go the same time I do!" I instructed her.
"Got it!" She said with a nod. We then ran towards the trees, each of us getting a branch. As soon as we pulled back both branches all the way, we let them go, both hitting the Timberwolf's front legs.
His legs were still to thick to break completely, but it worked well enough to give us a little more room so we could try to think of something else.
"Alright, what next?!" She asked as we kept going.
"We still gotta bust Blitz outta there! But to do that we gotta wake him up!" I told her. I managed to look back at the Timberwolf after telling her that, and saw Blitz just bouncing around in its chest.
"Got it! Hold on a sec!" She said. She then used her magic and levitated a rock and sent it flying towards the Timberwolf, luckily going through the wood that was its chest.
It then hit Blitz square in the forehead, which made him start to stir. The running from the beast did the rest and he was awake again. "OW!" Blitz said over and over as he got banged around some more. He eventually flapped his wings and he managed to fly in the middle, avoiding anymore bruises.
"Blitz, listen! Ya gotta try ta get outta that Timberwolf!" I instructed.
"Oh really?!" He said kind of sarcastically and ticked off. "Cause I didn't see why I couldn't just chill out in here!" He yelled at me. I couldn't blame him for being mad, but it wasn't helping anything.
"I'm serious Blitz!" I told him. "Now try ta slow down the Timberwolf all ya can! Cause I think were comin' up on Ponyville, and we don't have the time ta turn away from it!" I told him.
"Got it!" He yelled back, looking around the beast to try to find a way. As he was though, I saw Ponyville off in the distance, and a giant Timberwolf wasn't going to help keep the peace. "I think I have an idea, but I need some time!" He told us.
"Alrighty! Come on Sugarcube, keep up!" I called out to Pon-3, seeing as how she was starting to run out of breath.
"Right... Behind you Country Apple!" Pon-3 called out to me, really winded now. We had been running as fast as we could for ten minutes now, so I couldn't blame her.
Blitz's POV
Okay, let's see here. I'm trapped in the belly of a beast, literally, and it's using my tail. Guessing that this things made out of wood, all I have to do is knock it apart.
As I kept going over what was happening, I looked around. I was flying from one side of the cage to the other like a trapped bird. A bird who was really ticked off at this point.
Then I saw something. My tail didn't have that much wood surrounding it. Probably because the wood wouldn't combine with the metal so well, so it couldn't mix that well.
"I got an idea!" I called out to them.
"Well hurry! Were almost at Ponyville!" Applejack told me. I looked ahead and she was right. We were coming up on Ponyville. And more specifically, the Ponyville train station.
"Okay!" I turned to where my tail was and got ready to bust through the weak spot. And seeing where the weak spot was, a shiver went up my spine in disgust. "Here goes nothing..." I said with almost no enthusiasm.
I then charged and busted through where my tail was. It didn't take that much force either, so I was free, my tail right in my hooves.
But I didn't have any time to waste as the Timberwolf ignored my freedom and kept going after Applejack and Pon-3. It had wasted so much energy in chasing them, that it wasn't about ready to give up.
What else I noticed was that my tail was no longer charged. The wolf drained it somehow. As I flew above the wolf, I noticed that it wasn't even winded after all the running it did. That's when it all clicked. The wolf used up my tail's electricity to keep going.
I knew that I had to stop him since I was the only other pony there. I tried to think of what I could do. I wasn't strong enough to pick up two ponies without an adrenaline rush, and I couldn't come up with a plan to out smart the wolf fast enough.
I looked around one more time, trying to think of anything else I could do. All I had was my left metallic hoof to possibly punch it to death. Which I probably couldn't do because of how hard it would be to clobber a giant wooden wolf.
Then there was my tail. Since I just busted out, it was still in my hooves. Being that I didn't have enough time to fix it back into place. It was sharp enough to cut through wood, that much was obvious, but would I be able to stop the Timberwolf with it?
"Ouch!" I quickly turned my attention to see Applejack out of the two trip and fall. Pon-3 stopped to try to help her, exhausted herself. As they did, the wolf was right on them, ready to try to eat them both in one bite. Which looked really possible with the size of his mouth.
But I wouldn't let that happen. Without a second thought, I charged at the Timberwolf, holding my tail in my mouth acting as if it was a sword. And in one swift motion, I went right by the wolf's head, then landed in front of the two ponies.
They were speechless as I kept my eyes closed and kept my 'sword' in my mouth. And I couldn't help but bring this all to my enjoyment. I took my tail out of my mouth and tapped it on my metal leg twice. Making a 'Ting' sound both times.
The second I did that, the head of the Timberwolf came crashing to the ground, smashing into bits of wood and mulch right behind me like a wooden explosion. I smirked in the pure awesomeness that just happened and looked at the two of them. "Ah come on, you gotta admit that was cool!" I told them.
"Yeehaa!" Applejack said as she stomped the ground in glee, amazed by the sight of what just happened. She
"Rock and roll!" Pon-3 added while nodding, just as amazed. I went ahead and took in that little moment of glory, glad I just had a pure moment of epicness.
Sadly, the moment didn't last long, the rest of the Timberwolf stayed in the exact same place. Towering over all three of us. We all stopped and looked at it, wondering just why it hadn't smashed to the ground.
Right when I was about to question it, I saw a spark of electricity go around it. That showed me, that the electricty was still there. "Uh-oh..." I said, knowing that whatever was about to happen, wasn't good.
But out of everything that I wasn't expecting was what happened next. "BOOM!"
Rainbow Dash's POV
Well, Twilight and Spike weren't at the library. And Rarity wasn't back at her place. So I guess they didn't get back yet. As me and Fluttershy started flying back to where we had last seen our friends being chased by the Timberwolf, we saw a train pull into Ponyville.
"Fluttershy look, they're back! Come on, we have to hurry!" I told her as I flew off to the station to meet up with Twilight, Rarity, and Spike. Fluttershy soon followed after me.
And as we got there, the doors started to open up. "BOOM" We heard from out of nowhere.
"What... What was that?..." Fluttershy asked as she looked around, scared by the loud boom. It sounded like a stray lightning bolt, but I don't know how that was even possible.
"It was probably nothing, calm down. We still need to find Twilight and Rarity so they can help us get the others." I reminded her.
But before we could even turn back towards the train, we saw some shadows come from above us. We both looked up at the same time, and were met with the same thing. Three ponies and a bunch of wood falling on us.
After all that stuff fell on us, it made me, Fluttershy, and the other three ponies groan in pain. "Hey, what's your problem? Don't you three know how to fly?" I called out, kind of mad that they just fell on us, but still kind of out of it since they all just landed on me
"Well great to see you're alive to Rainbow Dash." I heard Blitz say sarcastically to me.
"Blitz?" All three of them were still on top of me, so I couldn't get up. But I still heard them.
"Yeah... Most of me." He said. I looked ahead, sighing that I was stuck under him along with Applejack, and DJ Pon-3. That's when I saw his tail in front of us all.
And before it got any worse, Twilight, Spike, and Rarity just stepped out of the train. "What happened to you five?!" Twilight asked in shock at how we looked.
As we all looked towards them, we were just as shocked to see what they looked like. Not once did either side break eye contact.
Rarity and Twilight's manes were both cut into short mullets. Both of their tails, along with Spike's, were tied together in a knot. Spike's left arm was in a sling, and both his legs were covered in wet toilet paper. He also had red bloodshot eyes, showing how tired he was. Rarity was covered in mud from the flank down and had a cucumber glued to her right ear, making her look like a spa pirate. Finally, Twilight had a bunch of paper cuts on her front legs, and had a book cover stuck to her muzzle. It was actually a mystery as to how she could talk with it on her mouth like that.
We weren't that better off. Blitz's ear was still at Sweet Apple Acres with the animals so it was nowhere to be seen. Also, his tail was in between the two groups on the ground. Applejack and Pon-3 had tons of splinters stuck everywhere on them, and Applejack's hat had landed on top of Fluttershy after the fall. And it had a Timberwolf tooth stuck to it. Pon-3 didn't have her usual shades on, and was panting from all the running she had to do earlier. As for me and Fluttershy, we were at the bottom of the whole group. That, and we were covered in dirt, leaves, mud, and everything else that came down with our three friends. Finally, we were all on top of each other like a dog-pile at a hoofball game.
After we all got up, Blitz picked up his tail and looked at Twilight and Rarity. "Tell you what. We'll trade you our story for yours." He offered to them.
They both opened their mouths to say something, but stopped and looked at each other with worried glances. Twilight then looked back and simply went. "Touche." To Blitz.
We all couldn't hold it anymore and the eight of us all broke out in laughter. It was so funny! But either way, whatever happened to them couldn't come close to our story.
And here finally ends the episode! Based on some of the reviews from the last two chapters, it's clear to me that I am NEVER doing an episode like this one again! It was really confusing, and I knew that it was kind of over the place. And when my school year was just about over, I fueled the episode with that enthusiasm. And since I wanted to have a wild party... Yeah. So anyway, I hope I salvaged this episode with this chapter well enough to not make it completely horrible! I will see you all next episode! (And since school's over expect the episodes to start rolling in a lot more often!)
QotC: Have you ever had something really odd happen to you and your friends asked about it, but you didn't want to tell the story? (You don't need to explain the story, just if you've had one of those times)
