It was late at night at Sweet Apple Acres and the thunder storm was raining hard with the sound of thunder heard in the distance. Normally storms were not a problem for the town of Ponyville unless the weather changed abruptly.
“Big Mac get those window covers on” yelled Applejack, closing the window near the front.
“Eeyup” replied Big Mac running around the house and covering up the windows on the side and back. “That’s all them AJ let’s get back in the house.” Both now running back into the house soaking wet and leaving a small puddle near the front door.
“Well that there was a doozy” she said shaking off the water on her mane and splashing him in the face leaving an unamused Big Mac staring at her. “Sorry about that Big Mac” giving an embarrassed smile and said, “Ah thought those weather ponies moved the storm cloud away from Ponyville yesterday?”
Shaking his own mane and splashing Applejack leaving her unamused and a smug look on his face said, “It’s ok sis and ah reckon they might of just missed some.”
“What *yawn* going on?” said a tired looking Applebloom half way down the stairs.
“Just a bit of a storm sugarcube. Now let’s go on back to bed” said Applejack when a loud crash could be heard shaking the house and the three for a few seconds.
“What the hay was that?” Applebloom asked looking at her older siblings with fear in her eyes.
“Don’t know” Big Mac said now trying to take a look outside through the screen door. “But you two stay put till I get back” he said running out the door. It was dark outside and the rain was not helping but it was still light enough to see a couple feet ahead. Big Mac ran towards where he thought he heard the crash came from running at a steady pace till he saw a giant shadow in the distance. ‘What the hay is that’ he thought now slowing down to a crawl. ‘Looks like some sort of giant snake. Best be ready case it’s ain't friendly.’ Walking slowly towards the down creature he could hear voices in the distance and decides to hide behind an apple tree and listen.
“Good job you idiot because of you five soldiers died and it got away” yelled an angry mare.
“Shut it you bitch if you would have just followed me from the beginning none of this would have happen. Besides it probably hasn’t gotten far yet with the damage I scored on it, if we leave now we can still catch up to it and kill it” yelled the stallion right back at her.
“Look around genius this is obviously a farm with civilians nearby they will become curious and come check out what happened besides we were ordered not to be seen by anypony in Equestria we have to go now” she said.
“Screw that we’re so close just one more good shot and it dead” he said.
“Orders are orders if you don’t come back right now I’ll tell the higher ups everything and that’s not if Equestrian royal guards catch you in their territory, but hey your call” she said and it sounded like she was taking off towards the skies. Moments of silence past by making Big Mac hold his breath thinking he might have been heard or spotted.
“THIS ISN’T OVER YET YOU FUCKER I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME AND I’LL BE BACK FOR YOUR HEAD” shouted the stallion then giving chase to his companion. Big Mac let out a sigh of relief and glances out from his hiding place to see one figures flying on strange creature in the distance and a small pegasus shadow next to it. ‘Now then what are ya exactly’ he thought to himself now heading towards strange creature. The creature appeared to look like a giant blue snake when he notice it had two dragon like arms as well as a pair wings. Big Mac decided to head towards what he thought would be the head.
“Yah know what the critter is Big Mac” asked Applejack.
“Ah reckon ah don’t but it is strange looking thing” said Big Mac. He then stopped walking, his eyes opened wide in surprise to see Applejack next to him with a shy grin on her face. “What yah doing out here AJ? and what about Applebloom? Ah told ya to wait till ah got back” he said anger stretched across his face.
“Easy there Big Mac ah was just worried is all and besides Applebloom insisted ah come check up on ya” she said avoiding eye contact with her brother.
“Yer not a very good liar AJ, but yer here and all so theres nothing ah can do about that” he said continuing his walk. “But stay close incase this….thing is still alive” Applejack simply nodded and started walking right next to him. They walked for a few feet till they noticed the silhouette of what look like a dragons head.
“Is that a dragon?” Applejack asks looking at her brother with disbelief, “Ah mean Twi went on about how dragons are shaped different that one time the girls and ah were sent by Celestia to stop that dragon from snoozing.”
Big Mac said nothing and continued to walk closer to it only to stop abruptly and signals AJ to stop as well. Moving his ears back and forth he started to hear a strange sizzling sound. Before he could explain to AJ the sound he was earring the creature before them starts to change shape and forms into a water form of the creature. The water no longer being held in place started to give spasm of collapsing. Big Mac instinctively grabs his sister and tries to makes a run for it, but was to slow and both he and his sister were caught in the wave of water leaving them both drenched and a couple feet away from their house.
“Big Mac” asked a confused AJ “What the hay was that?”
“Ah have no idea AJ” Big Mac replied calmly “but ah reckon we should get inside before we catch a cold.” Applejack simply nodded and they both went to their warm house to escape the cold rain.
Before the Crash MPoV:
‘Shit shit shit shit’ I thought as another bolt of lightning soared near my wings only making me push my body to go faster. Swerving back and forth between the trees hoping the three pursuers would give up. Alas that was not going to happen any time some as another bolt of lightning soars right by me again followed by arcane bolts of light.
“Come on!” yelled a male pursuer “Hold still so I can fry ya!”
'Yes let’s just ask the creature to stay still and get hit with about a thousand watts of electricity, surely he’ll let us’ I thought sarcastically. As the forest reached a clearing artificial light could be seen as well as six more wyvern riders were there, waiting for me. ‘That's new, there actually planning ahead instead of chasseing me till their rides get tired. Part of me is happy for them that they learned, yet sad I’m not the observer in this chase. Damn shame to would have made an interesting piece to write.’ Flapping my wings as hard as I could, I climb back up towards the skies to get a better look of my surroundings. ‘Let’s see I have been flying south for quite some time now and should be near the border of Equestria at least or has it been days time flies when you’re being chased by a bunch of guards. Makes you just want to reminisce the good old…’ While I was lost in thought a bolt of lightning struck me in the back causing me to start nose diving towards the ground. Shaking off the attack quickly I folded my wing to continue the nose dive and ride the momentum back up. ‘Well no more thinking unless it’s about an escape route.’ Quickly scanning I could see a forest with little space to hide making it pointless for cover, mountains that could provide caves, but at the cost of it being a dead end or I could climb higher up towards the clouds.
“Well clouds it is, but let’s makes things more interesting.” I said with a small grin etching across my face. As I charged towards the clouds they begin to darken and low sounding thunder could be heard.
Pursuers PoV:
“What the hell is he planning changing the clouds to storm clouds and flying towards them? That’s like a deathtrap waiting to happen.” Said a dark purple coated unicorn with lime green hair and eyes. Using her magic she increases her volume and says, “Everypony hold up something not right!” All nine soldiers cease their pursuit and form into a V shape pattern, except for one that came up in front of her.
“Why the fuck you stopping us Coldshower to have a tea party or something it’s getting away!” shouted an angry yellow pegasus stallion with a red mane and blood red eyes.
“Calm down Cloud it flew into a thunder storm and it would be stupid to follow it in there I suggest we stay below the clouds and wait for it or the storm to pass.” Coldshower said calmly.
“Yeah and I say we listen to the me the leader and follow it before I have to bitch slap a rookie to give me some information I don’t give a crap about.” Cloud said angrily.
“First off I might be a rookie but I was also given the same rank as you because of your last incident with this creature, secondly I don’t want to go into an electric hell hole for a chance to maybe get a few hits on hit or get fried in there and finally the wyverns are tired as it is we should make camp here and continue later.” She stated as calm as possible. Some murmurs of agreements could be heard in the group.
“I got a better idea” he said with anger still in his voice. “I am going to go after it and anypony else who comes with me will get credit while the others get charged for treason.” He then took off straight towards the storm. Several minutes passed by and five other riders gave chase as well.
Coldshower looked at the remaining two soldiers and signaled them to follow. “Damn idiots are going to get them self killed; you two make camp hear I’m going to follow them for a bit” she said and flew in the same direction. Both guards saluted and flew down toward the grown to start making camp.
MPoV:
'Well it looks like my crazy plan worked’ I thought starting to slow down a bit to give my wings some time to rest. ‘I mean honestly whose stupid enough to follow anyone in an electrical storm.’ The sound of thunder continued echoing all around me every few minutes.
“COME OUT! COME OUT! WHERE EVER YOU ARE?! YOU FUCKING GIANT SNAKE!” yelled a male voice.
“Ok first off... I’M NOT A FUCKING SNAKE YOU DUMB PIECE OF SHIT! I’M A DRAGON! AND SECOND OF ALL, ARE YOU FUCKING RETARTED TO ACTUALLY FOLLOW ME!” I yelled now flapping my wings hard again to escape.
“THERE YOU ARE!” as a streak of lighting went pass me followed by some more arcane bolts. I take a glance to see how many are following. ‘Three…five…six by the counts of it’ finishing my thoughts the sound of thunder could be heard mixed with the pain screams of a stallion. ‘Oh wait make that five now and might add not a good way to go’ I cringe a little, but continue to swerve left and right dodging the magic onslaught. For next ten minutes the processed repeat as well as one unlucky stallion getting hit with another bolt of lightning. ‘Ok four left and I’m starting to reach my limits’ as my body felt heavier and heavier with each flap of my wings. ‘I could probably pull off one more move before I become completely exhausted. Guess it’s time for plan B or was it D...Fuck it’ as I let myself stop to float in mid air the soldiers take the bait and start to circle around me.
“Oh what’s this you finally giving up” said a male pegasus flying a wyvern.
“Me no just thinking about how pathetic of a pony you are” I said with a smug look on my face. He responds by chucking a lightning bolt at me, but I leaned to the left and it flew past my face by mere inches. “I mean really it took you how many days to finally catch up to me. I mean a really soldier or knight would have just killed me day one and gone back home as a hero” I shrugged and continued “but not you noooooooo you had to be the biggest weak dumb pussy of the skies and have what twenty ponies chase me only to be left with six oh wait four. That’s pretty damn pathetic also if I’m not mistaken didn’t you kill most of them were as I killed like two maybe three tops” I said finishing up my speech with a smug look on my face. ‘Come on take the bait fishy’ I thought and was surprised to see a giant ball of electricity hovering over his head increasing in size in seconds. My face completely deadpan with one thought in my mind ‘Might of gone too far’ as the ball became the size of a small moon.
He chucked the ball right at me yelling with so much blood lust in his voice, “YOU FUCKING CCCCUUUUNNTTTT!”
The giant ball of electricity came towards me and the world seemed to slow to a crawl. The soldiers could be seen thanks to the ball’s light and had mouth opened staring at what their captain did. As the ball came a few feet away from hitting me I used magic to shed my skin and immediately went for a nose dive to escape. The soldiers now out of shock try to escape as well, but were too late as an ear piercing boom could be heard followed by a giant explosion of thunder. The explosion threw me off course for a bit, but I regained control and went into a slow descent towards the ground. ‘It’s kind of ironic that the same trick work twice on him’ I chuckle only to be interrupted by a jolting pain of electricity at the base of my skull. As my vision fades I could see a field of apple trees with no strength left I let my body nose dive towards them. With my sight becoming harder to see I started to black out andall I could hear in the distance was someone yelling cunt.
Cloud Watcher PoV:
‘I finally gonna kill this fucking thing’ thought Cloud Watcher a great smug look across his face. ‘No way in hell he won’t survive that hit. Wait what was that!’ He turned his head to see a shadow from where the dragon was going into a nose dive. When suddenly he remembers this very seen a couple of days ago; the ball hitting the dragon followed by a giant explosion killing fourteen soldiers leaving Cloud for dead or severally injured. “OH SHIT” he said jumping off his wyvern and going into his own nose dive to escape. The sound of explosion could be heard with the cries of his soldiers in pain and then nothing but the rubmle of thunder. Getting over the loss he starts to scan the skies for the dragon’s silhouette when he could sees it slowly descending. Cloud started to fly fast towards the creature, but quietly enough to not be notice or heard, while charging up another lightning bolt. ‘Fucker going to pay for what he did. Making me look like an idiot you smug little prick’ he thought charging it up even stronger and threw right at his head. The dragon could not even let out a cry of pain as it started to crash towards the ground. “WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU’RE GOING. I’M NOT DONE YET YOU CUUUUNNNTT” Cloud yelled now giving chase to it only to be stopped by a dark purple glow.
MPoV:
I awake to the feeling of the cold earth mixed with raindrop bouncing off my body. As I try to get up, regretting that idea immediately, as immense pain could be felt all over my body. Slowly I try to assets what’s broken by moving. I came at much less damage then I thought I would have my wings were completely broken, my left arm was out of place and there were what felt like giant bruises and cut all over my body. ‘The trees must have softened the landing’ I thought. Using the bit of magic I had left I shed myself again only this time I was no bigger than a garden snake. ‘Got to get out of here before my biggest fan finds me’ I started to slowly slither away from the crash scene and head west. I thought in the distance I heard somepony threatening to chop my head off, but ignored it and pressed on. After a few miles of going in and out of unconsciousness I had to stop in the center of town to catch my breath and rest. My mind still fading in and out I saw some ponies running through the rain getting their houses ready for the storm. ‘Good thing they can’t see me or they might try and finish me off’ I chuckled slightly before I fell down completely exhausted. “This is it, huh I've thought of many different scenarios of me dying, but this is kind of sad to die here in this what look like to be a peaceful little village of blood loss of all things” I said out loud. As I start to fall asleep I thought I heard someponies voice calling out to me.
“Excuse me but are you alright?” asked a concerned female voice.
“Great now I’m hearing things I’m going to die crazy” I said with a soft chuckle. Then my body began to feels less heavy and my back felt warm as if I was lying on a fur coat. Surprised by this odd feeling I force my eyes open to get a better look at what was happening. My vision was still fuzzy, but my body was surrounded by a light purple glow. Turning my head slightly I caught a glimpse of a lavender unicorn with purple mane with a pink streak going thru it. “You can see me?” I asked confused. “I thought that I was invisible no normal pony should be able to see me unless they are either very perceptive or very strong in magic.”
“Well it helps if you’re special talent is magic” she let out a small laugh and continued “and you really shouldn’t keep talking just save you strength and hold on ok” she said with concern in her voice and what felt like her trotting towards somewhere.
“Fine, fine, but one more question” I said feeling unconsciousness take over “What’s my savior’s name?”
“My name is Twilight Sparkle” she said “What or who are your?”
Before I could answer everything went black.
