Chapter 3: In a New Land
The black knife in Whiskey's hands gleamed towards three small ponies.
"Hmm?" Papa said, chewing on an apple.
With his helmet off, he had a shaven head and a tough face. He was big in size, however he had soft gentle brown eyes.
"Well, aren't they cute!" Juliet said, looking at each pony with joy in her voice.
Juliet still had her helmet on, her hands on her cheek. She seemed happy and joyful seeing the three fillies.
Foxtrot stared at the fillies with a shocked look. A more of a surprised stare. Foxtrot had her helmet off, her black hair cut short to be comfortable in the helmet and be much easier to manage. With intense eyes and a well built body, her body was lean.
Whiskey had his helmet on, his face still hidden. The Cutie Mark Crusaders shivered and froze in the spot in front of the camp fire.
"Props to you, X-Ray!" Whiskey said, getting up from his seat.
X-Ray, the giant juggernaut, bigger than Papa loomed over the three fillies, silent and not uttering a word.
"I never knew that you could hunt like THIS!"
Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo were huddled on the ground, afraid and loss for words.
About 30 minutes Ago...
Bright blue lights filled in each of the visors of the Alphas, November being an exception. He was still asleep, lightly snoring away. Loud crashes were heard as if it was lightning, thundering around the ten soldiers.
Soon, the bright light overwhelmed them, a thunderous 'boom' heard, disorienting their visions and senses. But in the blink of an eye, the Alphas were teleported or transported in the middle of a dark forest.
The Alphas found themselves in the mud, bushes and even the trees of the forest. Delta however, found himself inside of a tree trunk.
His head stuck head-first into a knot of a tree, Delta was in an uncomfortable position.
"Fuck!" Delta said, squirming around. "What just happened?"
His voice echoing through the tree trunk, Delta fished his hands around the tree trunk to see if he could pull it out of the ground or break off the bark around his neck. The tree was too big for Delta to wrap his arms around and the tree trunk bark was in such a way he couldn't get a good grip on it. Knowing that there wasn't much of a choice, Delta managed to get his feet onto the tree trunk to push off. Now in position where his feet was next to his face, Delta used all the force he could muster.
With a 'pop', the bark around his neck ripped off the trunk. But with his superhuman strength, Delta was thrown into the air by his own hands. In mid-air, he collided with a gigantic figure, 'Big' Papa.
"Whoa!" Papa said as Delta's ass just bore onto his torso.
Delta was flying through the air hard enough to knock Papa onto the ground. Papa was a big and strong soldier, taking enormous amount of power to take him down. Delta had just enough strength to just accomplish it.
"Damn, Delta!" Papa said, getting up and dusting himself off. "Your ass is made of steel!"
As Delta was putting his hands on the bark around his neck to break it off and also about to say something, a large object high in the came crashing down from the trees above. Papa's mini-gun.
The mini-gun fell down in such a way that the main part of the gun slammed onto the top of Delta's head, a loud crack heard. The barrel then fell over and snapped the bark that was around Delta's neck.
Papa just stared at what had just happened and slowly approached Delta, who was on the ground.
"Delta?" Papa asked, getting his mini-gun that was on top of Delta.
Papa's mini-gun was heavier and bulkier than an ordinary mini-gun. About doubled the weight, it was uncomfortable for most people who tried to use it. Even X-Ray. However, the weight wasn't an issue with X-Ray. It was because that the mini-gun was specially designed for Papa and Papa only.
Picking up the mini-gun with one hand, groans from Delta was heard.
"Man, you took a lot of hits, Delta!" Papa said, helping Delta up to his feet.
Delta groaned in response and clutched his head.
"If this is heaven, I don't like it at all..."
"I don't think we are, Delta." Papa said, clicking his mini-gun to his back. "If you're in agony and pain, it's no heaven."
"Delta? Papa?" a familiar female voice asked from above.
It was Juliet. She was up in the trees as if she was scouting for them.
"Jules!" Papa said enthusiastically. "Do you know where we are?"
Juliet ignored what Papa called her and replied, answering his question.
"No, I have the same amount of knowledge of where we are."
She then jumped to ground level, a back breaking sound and a loud groan of pain heard.
"Oof!" a voice said out of nowhere.
Delta, Papa and Juliet looked around, wondering where the sound came from.
"Get it off, get it off!" a muffled voice said beneath Juliet's heavy combat boots.
Juliet quickly stepped off the ground and stared down at it, with Delta and Papa as well. The figure in the ground twisted around and finally, a familiar voice was heard.
It was the person they LOVED the most. Whiskey.
"Damn, Juliet!" Whiskey's managed to say underneath the ground. "What do you carry? A tank?"
Juliet then stomped on Whiskey's back, giving no heed to Whiskey's shout of pain.
"ARRRGH!"
"Anyway, Alpha is up and running helping Zulu with November. Sierra on the other hand is scouting the forest." Juliet said, stepping off of Whiskey's back. "Foxtrot and X-Ray are going to be here soon." she said as Foxtrot and massive X-Ray walked in.
Hey, I'm stuck, can you guys help me?" Whiskey asked.
Foxtrot looked down on Whiskey's back, and raised her boot up. Afterwards, a back splitting sound heard. Delta and Papa flinched a little has Foxtrot's boot smashed down.
"Ow!" Whiskey said.
"That's what you deserve, dipshit." Foxtrot said towards Whiskey.
"Suck a dick."
A horrible decision on Whiskey's part. It earned him a stronger stomp on his back.
"OOOFFF!"
"On your orders, Delta." Juliet said, ignoring Foxtrot and Whiskey and with X-Ray behind her. "Alpha has put you in charge."
Delta nodded and then looked towards his team. "We'll just establish a small base... I'll just stick to the firewood. Foxtrot..." Delta said towards the female soldier.
Foxtrot looked up towards him, stopping her stomping.
"You'll handle the food. Scavenge anything that you can find."
Foxtrot nodded in response. She the resumed to stomp Whiskey on the number of times he had insulted her.
"Whiskey, dig a fire pit." Delta said towards Whiskey, who was on the ground.
"Got THAT fucking covered!" Whiskey's muffled pained voice said, giving a thumbs up from the mounds of dirt above him.
But his hand was then crushed by Foxtrot's boot.
"EAARGH!"
"Ouch. THAT'S going to leave a mark." Papa commented said as Foxtrot continued.
"Why isn't anyone helping me?" Whiskey asked.
"Because you're a major league asshole!" Foxtrot said.
"Well, you all know what to do!" Delta said, ignoring Whiskey's pleas.
He then walked away into the forest to get firewood.
Foxtrot then pressed her weight on Whiskey's and jumped into the trees, following the orders given by Delta. Papa then grabbed Whiskey and helped him up.
"You don't know when to stop, Whiskey." Papa said as Whiskey wiped himself off. "That's a huge problem."
Bits of dirt covered him and things such as moss. It wasn't a very pretty sight.
"Well, it was worth it!" Whiskey said.
The beatings he received left him scratched and dirty.
"Anyway, I'm hungry." Whiskey said, sitting on the ground. "I want to eat."
"You got to dig the fire pit first." Juliet said. "It's either that or no food."
"There IS a 'fire pit'." Whiskey said, pointing to the ground.
He pointed to a fire pit that was made out of an imprint from himself. The arms and legs from Whiskey was very defined in the soft mushy ground.
"Beautiful, huh?" Whiskey asked.
"More like the opposite of it." Juliet said.
"I have to agree." Papa said. "It's not even a circle."
"Well, how about you X-Ray?" Whiskey asked towards the towering soldier.
X-Ray replied with silence, just like he always does.
"Gotta say X-Ray, I like you!" Whiskey said.
"He didn't say a thing, Whisk." Papa said, the 'raising' of his eyebrow heard underneath his helmet.
"Then you're deaf." Whiskey said, getting up.
He then tried to wrap his arm around X-Ray. But X-Ray was too big for Whiskey to wrap his arm around his shoulder. The top of Whiskey's head reached to the armpit of X-Ray. So in the end, Whiskey wrapped his arm around X-Ray's waist.
"We're like brothers!" Whiskey said to Juliet and Papa.
X-Ray didn't object, but didn't agree with what Whiskey was saying.
"With you doing that, you guys look gay." Juliet said.
"You mean like this?" Whiskey asked.
He then proceeded to bring his other hand and brought it up to X-Ray's chest. Then using his leg, he brought it up to a feminine pose.
Papa laughed deeply, finding it hilarious. Juliet did also, laughing too.
"Whiskey, you're like the male transvestite down a street corner and X-Ray being a tough, muscular man!" Papa said, chuckling and laughing at the two guys.
X-Ray then craned his neck down towards Whiskey and looked down.
"Well, big boy, are you ready?" Whiskey asked with a hint of feminism tone in his deep male voice.
Surprisingly, X-Ray didn't even hit or talk at all. The only person Whiskey hasn't made explode in anger yet was X-Ray. Even Zulu, a soft caring medic soon exploded in Whiskey's annoyance once.
X-Ray then turned towards Whiskey and wrapped his arms around Whiskey, who looked tiny compared to him.
"Whoa! I like where this is going!" Whiskey said.
X-Ray then hugged tightly Whiskey, a hug so tight that his breath was extinguished immediately.
"Erk! X... RAY!" Whiskey choked, banging his fists on X-Ray's back.
Juliet and Papa laughed heartily, glad to see X-Ray crushing Whiskey. Soon, Whiskey was knocked unconscious.
"X-Ray, we have to thank you for that!" Juliet said, X-Ray nodding in response.
"Why not hunt something in the forest if you want?" Papa suggested. "It'll be fun!"
Meanwhile...
Foxtrot jumped tree after tree, scouting out and trying to find a way out to scavenge anything on Delta's orders. Now at the end of the forest, Foxtrot jumped out of the high trees and landed with a soft thud onto the ground.
Looking around, Foxtrot just saw wilderness around her, a cool evening in her presence. A nice dark blue dark sky was soothing and quiet, relaxing her. But she had to follow her orders. Sprinting towards a hill, Foxtrot dolphin dived over the hill for some fun.
"Hmmph!" Foxtrot grunted as she landed on the ground.
With a good nose dive, Foxtrot looked up and small an orchard up ahead. Apple trees.
"Huh... I'm pretty lucky!" Foxtrot said to herself, standing up.
As she stretched and got ready to go down the hill, she noticed that she was about to trespass onto someone's property. Going low, Foxtrot stealthily and quickly maneuvered into the orchard. Noticing how there was a dirt road leading out of the orchard, Foxtrot kept the information in mind.
Eyeing a basket, Foxtrot stealthily nabbed it and started to get the good apples. Throwing the bruised apples back to the ground, Foxtrot took her time.
"There's got to be some farm around here..." Foxtrot thought to herself.
But looking around, there wasn't a building in sight. She then noticed a dirt road by the side. Suddenly, Foxtrot's senses tingled, telling her someone was in her presence. Poking her head up, Foxtrot then sprinted away into the forest with the apples in the bucket.
Back in the forest...
"Well, Whiskey, how is your back?" Juliet asked as the fire crackled.
Sitting around the fire; Whiskey, Juliet and Papa were just trying to pass the time.
Whiskey had just woken up from X-Ray's bear hug. Cracking his back into place, he groaned.
Delta had got the fire wood and decided to rest a bit. High in the trees, he laid down and closed his eyes.
"It feels fucking fantastic!" Whiskey said, rubbing his back. "X-Ray's love for me is defiant!"
A rustle was then heard in the bushes surrounding them. It was Foxtrot. She had a wooden basket that was full of red luscious fruit.
"Apples?" Papa asked, taking off his helmet.
"Yes, sir." Foxtrot replied, taking hers off as well.
She then grabbed an apple and threw one at Papa.
"I'll be fine." Juliet said, not wanting an apple.
"Hey, where did you find these apples, Foxtrot?" Papa asked as he bit into the apple.
"I found an orchard that was FULL of apples." Foxtrot replied, a crunching into the fruit. "There's also a town nearby... We should get there by the morning."
"Yeah, but fucking APPLES?" Whiskey asked. "I prefer meat. MANLY meat."
"Ow!" Whiskey said, as Foxtrot slapped him. "What was that for?"
"You know what that was for!" Foxtrot said.
She still wanted to resume payback to Whiskey.
"You have the disgusting imagination in existence."
"Yeah, yeah..." Whiskey said.
Then his mind on meat kicked in.
"Anyway, who's going hunting?"
"X-Ray." Papa replied..
"Him?" Whiskey exclaimed. "Out of all people, you sent him?!"
"Yep." Papa replied, throwing the apple core away.
He then took a bite out of another apple.
Whiskey than heard a very soft murmur, catching his attention.
"Hey, you hear that?" Whiskey asked, getting up from his seat.
"What?" Papa asked, his mouth full of apple.
Only the fire crackling replied in the midst of silence.
"Nope, never mind. False alarm." Whiskey said, sitting back down. "And now X-Ray? Really Papa? X-Ray can't catch anything because he's far too... BIG!"
He then put his arms in a wide circle emphasising X-Ray's size.
"That makes you sound like an obscure homosexual." Juliet said. "Now, don't get me wrong, nothing's wrong with being gay, but with you... different."
A loud clunk was then heard, the rustle of the bushes and three small ponies along with a scream was heard.
"Well shit, X-Ray!" Whiskey said, looking to each different kind of four-legged creature he saw. "You actually got a few things!"
"Whiskey, I told you so." Papa said, resuming to eat the apple in his hand.
"Yeah, whatever, Papa." Whiskey said. "I'm going to skin them." he said, getting a knife out.
The black knife in Whiskey's hands gleamed towards three small ponies.
"Hmm?" Papa said, chewing on an apple.
With his helmet off, he had a shaven head and a tough face. He was big in size, however he had soft gentle brown eyes.
"Well, aren't they cute!" Juliet said, looking at each pony with joy in her voice.
Juliet still had her helmet on, her hands on her cheek. She seemed happy and joyful seeing the three fillies.
Foxtrot stared at the fillies with a shocked look. A more of a surprised stare. Foxtrot had her helmet off, her black hair cut short to be comfortable in the helmet and be much easier to manage. With intense eyes and a well built body, her body was lean.
Whiskey had his helmet on, his face still hidden. The Cutie Mark Crusaders shivered and froze in the spot in front of the camp fire.
"Props to you, X-Ray!" Whiskey said, getting up from his seat.
X-Ray, the giant juggernaut, bigger than Papa loomed over the three fillies, silent and not uttering a word.
"I never knew that you could hunt like THIS!"
Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo were huddled on the ground, afraid and loss for words.
"They sure do look good." Whiskey said as he took a step towards the three fillies.
X-Ray then put his arm out in front of the three fillies, as if he was defending them.
"X-Ray?" Whiskey asked as X-Ray's massive arms made a form of barricade. "You know that I need my meat!"
X-Ray shook his head, his arms still protecting the three small ponies.
Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo back in X-Ray in surprise. This earned a look from the massive soldier, which sent them to bury their face into the ground.
"They're just so cute!" Juliet said, walking over to X-Ray and the three small ponies.
X-Ray lifted his arms out of the way to make room for Juliet.
Starting to pet Apple Bloom, Apple Bloom became comforted by the gentle petting of Juliet. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle gave a surprised look towards Apple Bloom. Juliet thought that Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo were jealous, so Juliet then started to pet both the pegasus and unicorn.
Both ponies were comforted by the gentle petting. Juliet then realized that Sweetie Belle had a horn and Scootaloo with wings.
"A horn?" Juliet said as she looked on top of Sweetie Belle's head.
"There!" Whiskey said. "A good reason to eat them!"
"Wings?" Juliet said as she observed Scootaloo.
"Even better!" Whiskey said, the black knife still in his hands. "Eat them like chicken!"
"You EAT chicken?" Apple Bloom asked with her usual southern accent.
Papa and Foxtrot spat out the apple from their mouths, the bits of spit and apple drenching all over Whiskey.
"Now they fucking talk!" Whiskey said, the apple and spit proudly sitting upon his body. "THAT'S a perfect reason to eat them!"
"Don't you mean it's BAD reason to eat us?" Apple Bloom asked, raising an eyebrow.
"And they talk back!" Whiskey said loudly, causing Delta to fall out of the tree above.
"Oof!" Delta said as he crashed towards the ground.
Getting up, he wiped himself off.
"What's with all the commotion about?" he asked.
He then saw the scene of Whiskey covered in apple bits, Papa and Foxtrot's mouths covered in spit and apple, Juliet and X-Ray around three little ponies.
"May I ask what happened here?" Delta asked.
"Who and what are you guys?" Scootaloo asked, feeling comfortable to talk as well, looking to each of the soldiers.
Delta replied with a blank stare, looking to the three fillies and then to his squad mates.
"We're not high, are we?" Delta asked.
"We're not, Big D!" Whiskey said, sounding insane. "Ever since the biological scums struck, I haven't had meat!"
"Hmm, the veggies got to him alright." Foxtrot said, wiping the spit and apple from her mouth. "He's crazy."
"I MUST DEVOUR THEM!" Whiskey said, lunging towards the three fillies.
"RUN!" Sweetie Belle screamed, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo screaming also.
Dashing between X-Ray's legs, the three little ponies escaped with ease from Whiskey. X-Ray blocked the path so that Whiskey couldn't get past him. As Whiskey tried to turn around the massive shoulder, Juliet tackled Whiskey to the ground, swatting the sharp knife out of his hands.
"Snap out of it!" Juliet said, pinning Whiskey to the ground.
"NEVER!" Whiskey said, struggling to get away.
Soon; Papa, Foxtrot, Delta, and X-Ray soon helped Juliet. Making escape impossible for Whiskey.
"Apple Bloom? Sweetie Belle?" Applejack asked out loud, walking towards the club house of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. "Scootaloo? Ya'll there?"
Silent only responded, leaving a deep feeling in her gut. She then walked up towards the stairs to the dark club house. Looking inside, the three fillies were gone.
Applejack gasped in horror, the three fillies missing. Turning around, screams from the distance was heard. The fillies themselves.
"Ahhhhh!" the Cutie Mark Crusaders screamed in unison.
"He's going to eat us!" Apple Bloom screamed, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo right behind her.
Applejack sprinted towards the three fillies, wondering where they were and wanted to know what was wrong.
"Hey!" Applejack said, slowing down. "Now what just happened? Who's going to eat you?"
"A creature!" Sweetie Belle gasped.
"On two hooves!" Scootaloo said, gasping also.
"In some kind of odd thing!" Apple Bloom managed to say.
"Now, from where?" Applejack asked, a lot of concern in her voice.
"The Everfree Forest..." the three said sadly.
"Now can I ask WHY you decided to go in there at night?" Applejack asked again.
"We went in there because a group of thieves were stealing our apples!" Apple Bloom said.
"Thieves?" Applejack said, looking towards the forest. "And they were on two hooves?"
The Cutie Mark Crusaders nodded.
"I haven't heard of anything like that..." Applejack said. "Alright ya'll, come with me. We have to go somewhere to sort this out..."
"Whiskey! Control yourself!" Papa said, holding the soldier down.
"Never surrender!" Whiskey blabbered.
X-Ray then socked a hit on Whiskey's head, knocking him out instantly.
"You should've done that as soon as he went towards those little ponies!" Juliet said towards the large soldier.
X-Ray just shrugged.
"Now, talking ponies, them thinking we're going to eat them thanks to Whiskey... We're fucked." Foxtrot said, her hands up to the air.
"We have to report this to Alpha..." Delta said, the situation bad at hand. "And I only thought Whiskey saying that he'll go insane without meat was a joke..."
"Yeah, I just thought it was one of 'wants' and other bullshit." Papa said, looking down towards knocked out Whiskey.
"Well, I'll go report to Alpha." Foxtrot said. "Our radios are down, so it'll be tough to pass information quickly."
"You don't say?" Juliet said, Foxtrot stating the obvious.
"I'm off." Foxtrot said, going into the trees and out.
"Well, we're in a big pickle." Papa said, sitting down on the ground.
"You've said it." Juliet said, sitting also.
"Mhmm." Delta said.
X-Ray nodded in agreement.
"Twilight!" Applejack said, knocking on the door of the library.
Spike answered the door, and greeted her along with the three fillies; Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo.
"Hey!" Spike said, waving. "What is it that you need?"
"Sorry about being here late in the evening, but what these gals said kind of worries me." Applejack said.
"We saw some sort of creature in the Everfree Forest!" Scootaloo said.
"Stealing our apples!" Apple Bloom said.
"And they wanted to eat us!" Sweetie Belle said, joining in describing the odd creatures they encountered.
"And we all need some kind of help to identify them with Twilight's knowledge." Applejack said. "Is she in?"
"Yeah, she's studying." Spike said. "As usual. Come right in!"
He opened the door to allow the four ponies in.
"Twilight!" Spike said up towards the staircase.
"Yes, what is it, Spike?" Twilight asked.
"We have some guests!"
With a loud crash, Twilight was down the stairs in a jiffy.
"Hey girls!" Twilight said with smile to the ponies
"Sorry for being her on such a short notice, Twilight, but we need to see what kind of creatures were stealing our apples." Applejack said.
"Creatures, huh?" Twilight said, thinking. "You know what they're called?"
"Uh, do you?" Applejack asked, looking down towards the three fillies.
Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo shook their heads.
"But we know what they look like!" Sweetie Belle said.
"Ah, okay!" Twilight said, using her magic to get a book off a shelf. "Tell me the description of the creatures!"
"They're on two hooves!" Apple Bloom said. "And other two hooves like this!
Apple Bloom then got up on two hooves and tried to look like what she had seen.
"They also had some kind of things on their bodies." Scootaloo said. "Scales, maybe?"
"Two eyes, two ears and a mouth." Sweetie Belle said. "Some of them had something on top of their heads while some didn't!"
"Can... you be a little bit more specific for me?" Twilight asked, having a little trouble to get an accurate description.
"They were big!" the Cutie Mark Crusaders said in unison.
"Guys!" Foxtrot's voice said through the trees.
Juliet, Papa, Delta, and X-Ray looked up. Whiskey was tied to a tree with vegetation tied around him. He was still unconscious.
"Come with me!" Foxtrot said. "It's an emergency!"
Juliet and Delta got up walking over. Papa did also, joining in also.
"You got Whiskey, right X-Ray?" Papa asked, looking towards X-Ray.
X-Ray nodded.
"Good, let's go!" Papa said.
Now in the thicket of trees, it was only Whiskey and X-Ray at the campsite. Underneath his helmet, Whiskey was smiling. He was never unconscious. He was acting it.
"November is in more of a crucial condition!" Foxtrot said. "He needs medical attention ASAP!"
"How bad?" Delta asked, as the team were going through the trees quickly.
"Less than a day bad." Foxtrot said grimly. "Zulu somehow lost all the meds. And it isn't her fault. Her medical bag just disappeared as soon we found ourselves here."
"Fuck..." Papa said. "We'll need to go out quick to get any supplies..."
"We're here!" Juliet said, noticing a fire going in the dark forest.
Foxtrot, Juliet, Delta, and Papa jumped from the trees to the ground. Alpha, Sierra, Zulu and November were in front of them.
"So, Whiskey became insane?" Sierra asked.
"Seems like it, but you know him, it'll pass." Juliet said, earning a nod from Sierra.
As she nodded, Zulu was looking down to November.
"Somehow, his wounds reopened in the three places he broke his limbs..." Zulu said, wrapping a piece of vine around November's arm and both legs. "He's slowly losing blood and his heart rate is going down."
"It's really bad..." Alpha said. "But there's hope. We'll have to bring him to the closest hospital as fast as we can."
X-Ray stared into the crackling fire silently, the glare of the flames into his visor. As the crackles continued, X-Ray heard a loud rip of the vines. From Whiskey's direction.
"Catch me if you can, X-Ray!" Whiskey said laughing and running away.
X-Ray immediately started to sprint towards Whiskey. X-Ray was the slowest of the Alphas, but he certainly was fast. However, Whiskey moved more swiftly and was more agile than bulking X-Ray.
Now out of the tree line, Whiskey dashed away from the forest. Now out of the forest, he was heading towards Ponyville.
"Werewolves?" Twilight asked, looking towards the three fillies.
"No." Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo said, shaking their heads at the same time.
"But they were animals, right?" Twilight asked. "Ah, I know! Why don't we ask Fluttershy? She knows about animals more than anyone!"
"That seems like a mighty good idea!" Applejack said. "But ya'll ARE telling the truth, right?" Applejack said, looking down towards the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
"Yeah, we are!" Apple Bloom said. "Why would we go through this trouble?"
"To cover up the reason why you went into the Everfree Forest in the night?" Applejack said.
Whiskey continued to laugh, but not with much of an insane tone.
"What shall we play, X-Ray?" Whiskey said towards him.
X-Ray replied with silence as usual and continued to run after Whiskey.
"Catch me if you can!" Whiskey said, jumping side to side and then up. "Oh, this'll be loads of fun!"
Twilight, Applejack, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo were finally in front of Fluttershy's cottage.
"Do you think she's in?" Twilight said. "It seems that she isn't home."
"Well, it doesn't hurt to check." Applejack said, walking up to Fluttershy's cottage's doors.
Applejack then knocked on the doors of the cottage, lightly knocking on the wooden doors with her hooves.
"Fluttershy? You there?" Applejack asked, knocking lightly again.
The door slowly creaked open, Fluttershy's pet bunny, Angel opening the door.
"Angel! Hey! Is Fluttershy in?" Applejack asked to the small little bunny.
Angel nodded and hopped towards to the couch where Fluttershy was on. She was still shaking, the loud lightning before still scaring her.
"Uh, sugarcube?" Applejack asked, slowly walking up to terrified Fluttershy. "You alright?"
Twilight and along with Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo walked in, right behind Applejack.
"Is... Is it gone?" Fluttershy asked weakly, in her usual soft voice.
"Uh... WHAT'S gone?" Twilight asked.
"The scary loud lightning!" Fluttershy said. "It's just so loud!"
"It passed by, Fluttershy." Scootaloo said. "The scary lightning is gone!"
"Oh, it is?" Fluttershy asked, poking her head from the blanket over her head.
"Yeah, no need to be scared, Fluttershy!" Sweetie Belle said.
"Thank goodness!" Fluttershy said. "I thought that it was still here!"
As she said that, Angel facehooved himself.
"Anyway Fluttershy..." Twilight said. "The girls here need help of identifying of some soft of animal creature."
"That was stealing our apples!" Applejack said. "This may have happened over a course of a few months!"
"Okay, I see." Fluttershy said. "Is there any specific details about these animals?"
"Well, they're from the Everfree Forest..." Apple Bloom said. "But you do know at least SOME creatures in there, right Fluttershy?"
"Um... I do know a few." Fluttershy said. "But is there anything special abou-"
*CRASH*
"Hoo-hah!" a male voice said outside Fluttershy's cottage.
A loud crash followed again.
"It's them!" Sweetie Belle said, recognizing the voice.
"It's those thieves!" Apple Bloom said. "The one that wanted to eat us!"
