Fallout Equestria: Silent Ponyville
Chapter 8: Chapter 8: The Train Across the Heavens
Previous Chapter Next Chapter “Old lives are ended, new lives are begun, and running through it all is a steam engine. A train carrying on its endless rails the dreams, the hopes, the ambitions, and the youth of all humanity.”
_
“Da names Ckullx,” The Zebra wearing a bowler hat stated leaning on a bow staff, “A Zebra of games.”
I looked at Witchcart. Mason looked at her the same way. Witchcart answered us with an unknowing shrug.
“Who are you?” Mason asks.
“Dain’t you hear wa I said?” Ckullx snaps.
“I guess better put, why or how are you here?” Mason restates.
“Not dat it matter but dis is my world,” Ckullx replied.
Both Mason and I give Witchcart a look of you’re the one that brought us here. Again she shrugs.
The train pulls up. It was a really silly looking thing decorated like a bunch of cupcakes. I counted twenty six, My Mint-aled brain told me that was significant but why hadn’t clicked.
The doors opened and we, the four of us walked in.
The train car was empty of ponies. Not that shocking. It looked new with bed bench things to lay on.
Mason was the first to plop down on the bedding, Witchcart was next. Ckullx sat down at a table and started playing solitary with a deck of cards. How he held them I didn't know.
I flopped myself down on one of the beds too. I then unstrapped my saddle bags. I took the time to check my inventory.
“Littlepip are you okay?” Mason asks me.
“Yeah, I'm fine,” I said off handily.
“Just that you been through a lot,” Mason adds, “I mean some traumatic stuff.”
My nerves popped and I snapped, “I said I’m fine.”
I felt a tear roll down my cheek. I turned away to hide my face.
Moping, I lifted my tail to look at my rear. I stewed in my thoughts, emotions and memories at I looked at my self. The Mint-als made my thoughts move at super speed.
“Did something happen to her?” I over hear Witchcart whisper to Mason.
“A monster raped her,” Mason whispers back, “It wasn’t normal.”
“Nothing normal about a rape,” Witchcart snaps.
I finished checking my inventory. There wasn't any Healing Potions.
“You two have any Healing Potions on you?” I asked Mason and Witchcart.
The ponies shook their heads.
“I do, but you dot to play me for it,” Ckullx answers.
I walked over toward the Zebra.
“What's your price,” I have no bits and no caps.”
“Caps?” The Zebra questions.
“It’s another form of money,” I didn’t want to go through the whole long story of explaining it.”
“Very well, but I do not play for money I play for memories,” The Zebra puts one set of cards away and takes out another. “These cards are the same as the witches spell book.”
He puts a card down. An “A” the word “apple” and a picture of an apple was on it.
“So, that’s how you got here,” Witchcart remarks.
“These are just children’s flash cards?” I point out not being impressed by these magic cards.
“Wait! Littlepip don’t look!” Witchcart shouts.
A bright flash goes over my vision. It took me a moment for my eyes to adjust, so the first thing that hit me was the clean air. I saw the green leaves of apple trees and the clear blue sky. I could feel the grass at my feet.
Then I heard the moans and grunts and I caught the smell of them on the wind. My eye slowly move down to see two ponies in the mitts of intercourse at the bottom of a hill.
Normally I would blush and turn and walk away pretending I didn’t see anything. But who I seen stunned the heck out of me. The Applejack herself being rammed by a big green stallion.
“Steelhooves?” I accidently spoke out. At this moment I realized the universe hates me. That’s the only thing that explains my life. How else I would just appear in front of them like this? At a moment like this?
Both Applejack and Steel- I mean Applesnack freeze and look at me. At this time my Mint-aled brain noted that there where baskets of apples around them. A story formed of them harvesting the orchard and in the middle of their work the two got frisky.
“Littlepip?” Applesnack says in that deep monotone voice I missed so much.
Tears drop as I turn away blushing red. My foot slips in a rabbit hole causing me to smack my face against a nearby tree.
“Littlepip you’re bleeding!” I heard Applesnack shout.
“Woe, Celestia’s utters! sugar, I’m a still attached here!” Applejack snaps. I didn’t need to hear that.
“I’m okay!” I replied wiping the blood from my head.
“Did something happen to you?” Applesnack demands.
I was confused for a moment, “Nothing,” I replied taken aback.
“There’s something wrong,” Applesnack said in an ordering tone.
Does father figure males have some kind of second sense? Not that I saw Steelhooves as a father. He’s just one of those kind of males.
“I was attacked-raped,” My voiced choked.
“Oh, sweetie I’m sorry,” Applejack reacts.
“Raiders,” Applesnack snaps, “Littlepip you shouldn’t have had to die like that.”
“Oh, I’m not dead, I think…” I told them unsure.
Enough time pasted for Applejack and Applesnack pulled themselves apart. They make a sigh of relief.
Now able to look at them, I noticed that Applejack seemed a little fat. Wait, is she pregnant? Pregnant sex? That’s just wrong.
Applejack puts her hoof around my shoulder.
“Come on dear let’s talk about it at the house.”
>
“And they cum Party Time Mint-als?” Applesnack questionably remarks.
“Something to the same effect,” I told him as I give the dull yellow foal with the cinnamon brown mane and no cutie mark, a look of he just didn’t say that in front of her.
“I know what cum is,” Cinnamonsnack snarked at me after catching my look. The child of the Element of Honesty people.
“I still feel the drug pumping in my system,” I added.
The Apple’s home was a roomy place but still had a quaintness to it.
“So, you’re my granddaughter Applesnack talked so fondly of,” Applejack remarks, “You’re a skinny little weed for an Apple.”
“Granddaughter?” I give a questioning look to Applesnack.
“She asked, if I knew who are grand children were,” The buck told me, “I answered I never bothered looking for who was directly related. I had no right to try to interfere with their lives in that way. They were strangers far removed from my life. But since I all ready knew you and Velvet.”
“We might as well be your grand children,” I finished before taking a drink from a cup of apple cider that was on the table in front of me, “I’m honored really.”
Two young colts walked in. They didn’t have their cutie marks either. The Apples been busy indeed.
“Ah, Applecrack and Applesmack,” Applejack introduced.
I raised an eyebrow to the orange mare in a look of, Really that’s what you named your kids?
“Kids this is Aunt-,” Applejack paused. Both of us at the same time realized how silly the name Aunt Littlepip sounded.
“Aunt Pip” I answered.
Both bucks half heartedly waved at me.
Some blood drops on the wood floor from my head.
I blushed, “I guess I need a Healing Potion.”
“We don’t have Healing Potions,” Applejack told me, “Put’in something down your gullet to heal a hole in your hide seems wrong and unhealthy. I do have Healing Slav you applied directly to the wound. It stings a little but works just as well and without put’in those nasty magical toxins in places you didn’t intend them to be.”
Applejack leaves the room. I motioned to Applesnack I wanted to talk to him alone.
“Kids go out and play,” Applesnack orders
Like good children they did as they were told. I expected no less from Steelhooves’s offspring.
When the room was empty I leaned in close to the buck. “Is she real? I mean I’m not even sure you’re real. Please tell me you didn’t make a mental projection of your lost love, Fucked her until pregnant and after.”
“I Applejack, the original, of my own free will coxed my husband into having sex with me well pregnant,” The orange mare sneaks up behind me and whispers into my ear teasily. “Good enough for you sugarcube?” Applejack gives me a bucket of paste with a spoon. “Now go get yourself fixed up.”
“I just want to know one thing before I fix myself up,” I told the two, “Where’s the child Applejack had in Stable 2?”
“We see each other once in a while,” Applejack answers, “Out side of here, Most ponies call it the meeting nexus.”
“We seen each other once,” Applesnack adds in, “That was all I needed.”
“But our children born here, they can’t leave this place,” Applejack points out, “This is because they are alive and part of this world. Heck it’s rare for others to enter another pony’s heaven without a power backing them up or it being someone they love deeply. My other child can’t even enter here. When Applesnack appeared I was shocked”
I smile, “I think that’s because you and Applesnack truly love each other by choice. Family you have a bond. It’s not love, It can form love, but it’s something witch you don’t have a choice about. I don’t like my mother for example. She isn’t too fund of me either. We have a bond, I wouldn’t call it love but it’s something as indescribable. Applesnack you let me into your heart and that’s how I think I’m here.”
“There would have been a time when I would have told you that was wrong,” Applejack sighs, “But that was just a filly’s dream.”
Applejack and Applesnack cuddles with each other as I went to the wash room to apply the slav.
“So, Applejack I’m assuming you been in this place the longest you could explain it the best?" I asked as I walked back into the room when I finished. "What is this place? Why is it different from Silent Ponyville. How am I able to get from here to there? Why are you here and not there?”
“I’m sorry Littlepip I can’t explain, this is like our own Eden.” Applejack paused, “You said Silent Ponyville?”
“You know of it too?” I remarked, “Celestia had the same reaction to Silent Ponyville.”
“Celestia?” Applesnack said in what I assuming is shock.
“She’s a computer now,” I told him.
“You mean a computer named Celestia?” Applesnack asks.
“No, her brain was transferred to a computer using magic,” I answered, “About Silent Ponyville?”
“It’s a story, Twilight caught some of my friends in an experiment,” Applejack told me, “Some kind of dream world thing. Pinkie Pie told me, She was in a dark version of Ponyville called it Silent Ponyville-“
Strobing lights hit my eyes. I realized I was looking out the window of the train. Ckullx was smiling at me. Witchcart had me in her arms.
“Who are you really!” Mason demands.
“Why shou’d I tell you?” Ckullx replied.
I Mint-al clicked,
“Witchcart, your spell book it didn’t happen to orientate from Zebra magic?” I asked.
“Well, I was a researcher well the Great War was happening,” Witchcart cringed.
Another immortal why do I keep running into them.
I gave Ckullx a glare, “Your from the Zebra Empire!”
“Dis is true,” Ckullx judged our reactions with his eyes giving Mason a good look.
“I’m just a simple writer, Not some soldier for a war that should be forgotten.” Mason remarks.
“I took a deep interest in you Liddlepip,” Ckullx smirks, “Not since I sensed da goddess’s mind.”
“Goddess? You mean Luna?” Mason remarks.
My Mint-al brain clicks, “Zebras in the heart of Equestria have trouble not calling Luna “Nightmare Moon,” or “The dark one,” Why would a Zebra from the heart of the Empire call her Luna?” Catching this stuff seemed easy now. I should go back over my past conversations before this wears off.
“She called herself da goddess,” Ckullx told me, “I met her here in the world between nirvanas. When her body on the lower plan died her soul split into four.”
“Ah, so her reach even extend to here.” I noted.
“Goddess?” Mason questioned, “An experiment done by Twilight Sparkle to make unicorns as powerful as alicorns. It made a monster that killed her, It consumed her to her soul.”
“Yes, da pieces of my goddess wish to become one again,” Ckullx explains, “I found da twins wondering da realms. But da oder two dey found each oder in dat dark nirvana you call Silent Ponyville.”
Shit here it comes,
“Once she is revived, she well have you as a new body,” Ckullx explains.
“Yeah, this was Lyra’s plan,” I remarked.
I pulled out a gun. Ckullx drops a card. “B,” and “Bull,”.
We were pulled back by some kind of force sending us flying through the air. Train cars pass by our vision. Then we stopped with a hard thud.
The engine groaned and creaked with metallic sounds. The Casta Taurus had cables and pulleys attached to it. Each pull of the arm and kick of the leg ran the engine that moved the train.
I got a view of the creature to tell me it was a buck. The centaur turned and looked at me steam shooting from its metal nose.
My radio clicks on,
“I wish to trade my blood for rust, my blood for rust,
I wish to trade my breath for steam, My breath for steam,
I wish not to be alive again,
To be a machine of rust and steam,
My soul is an atomic battery,
All I wish to feel is rust and steam, rust and steam
I am an unfeeling machine,”
The creature reaches over for a handle. When he grabbed it clicked loose. A large blade came out with a creek.
We dodged the crashing blade. It hit the metal floor with a spark and we scattered.
I ducked between the centaur’s hind legs. I slipped into a gap. A gear came at me. I rolled out of the way hitting the grated floor with a thunk.
My foot steps on something as I stood up. It was a card, “C” and “Cake”.
The smell of sugar hits my nose. Towers of cake surrounded me. Mason and Witchcart were gone.
Suddenly one of the cakes explode spraying me with white frosting and bread.
“Hello Littlepip,” Prophet Bless smiles at me his mouth full of predatory teeth.
I panicked reaching for one of my guns. They were gone. I must of dropped them when I was tossed back.
“No, your-“ I cried.
“D for Dead,” Prophet Bless interrupts a bloody card sliding from his mouth.
“Why, I killed you!” I shouted.
“What do you think death is?” Blood runs down Prophet Bless’s forehead. His smiling pointed teeth stained with blood.
“I’m sorry for what I did,” Littlepip cries, “I’m not even sure, you made me so confused! She made me so confused!”
“You have a story to play out,” Prophet Bless told me, “From A… to… Z…”
A staff bonks me on the back of the head. A card flies past me. As I turned to face my attacker, I was struck in the side of the horn. Ckullx spins his staff around his body.
I was back on the train. Ckullx smiles at me and slips out of the window. I stepped to go after him when the pressure made my head whoosh.
There was a raging pain as the blood vessels pops in my horn. The velvet around my horn swells putting presser on my head.
I took out my combat knife. Placed the blade over the edge of a couch. I circumcised the skin on the tip of my horn. The blood released with a squirt. My head clears and the swelling goes down.
I quickly scan the room wiping the blood from my bleeding horn out of my eyes. My companions were no were to be seem. I had to chase after Ckullx. My Mint-al brain told me what to do.
I ran into the next car and the one after that. Ckullx slides in through one window and out another. I jump after him.
We stood on the roof of the train car staring each other down. There were and endless back void. My algora kicks in a little. I pushed that out of my mind. Oddly out of the corner of my eye I could see a giant Mason’s head.
With my combat knife in my mouth, I charged at Ckullx kicking on my SATS. He charged at me. Our weapons clashed back and forth.
My foot slips, It gets caught on a rack or ring on the side of the train. I fall back, stopping with a snap of my ankle.
My knife fell in the void. Blood from my horn fell in the void. The pain the pressure pulling on my body caused my bladder to give. Urine flowed down my hanging body.
A card drops by my face. I look up to see Ckullx. He pulls out another card. I could see the image of a ghost.
It went black,
“You let my daughter die,” Lyra voice told me.
A golden lamp swings back and forth cloaking the aqua unicorn with light and dark. A card “H” and “Human” lay on the floor.
The swinging light cloaks Lyra in darkness. When the light came back she was in her nude human form.
“You let the monster kill her!” Lyra shouts at me. She kept changing back a forth from pony to human, “You could have stopped it you could have done something!”
I looked away, I saw the card again. It changed, “I” and “Insect”.
A Changeling appeared in front of me.
“You could have let me live,” Prophet Bless shouted, “You could have took pity on me. Be understanding of how my biology works. Be understanding of how my species think and works. You could have been forgiving. Instead- “
Two cards drops to the floor as the like cloaked the Changeling in the darkness. When the light swings back it was Sioux Falls pointing a gun at her self.
“You killed me Littlepip,” She puts the gun in her mouth and fires. Blood splatters landing on the darkness.
I jumped up out of bed in a sweat. A card was laying next to my leg. There was a heart on it with the words, “L for Love”.
“Littlepip, What’s wrong?” Homage asks sitting up next to me.
“I- think I had a nightmare,” I replied with a sigh.
Homage starts rubbing my shoulders. I flinched, hard pain shoots up my hindleg.
“Is it your pipleg again?” Homage asks noticing my pain, “If you got another infection. Then they will have to-”
No, my hindleg and my horn is throbbing” I told my lover.
“Let me look,” Homage turns on the light with her magic. She lets loose a gasp. “Oh, Luna what did you do to yourself Littlepip!” She puts her hoof on my cheek. Then she pulls the blankets away from my legs. The pony frowns at the sight of my swelling leg. “You must have snapped something in your sleep. You know what that pod is doing your body.”
“I don’t think that’s it,” I remarked looking at my bruised horn, “I think this happened in my dream.”
“I’ll get one of the doctors,” Homage told me.
“No,” I stopped Homage before she could leave, “Could you fix it yourself, This is our time, I don’t what them interfering.”
“Littlepip,” Homage said unsurely.
“You just have to reset it and give me a Healing Potion,” I told her.
“Littlepip!” Homage snaps, “Healing Potions aren’t healthy for you! Specially after that buildup you got.”
“Applejack was right,” I remarked to myself with a smirk.
“What?” Homage reacted.
“Sorry, Just give me one,” I shook my head, “I’ll have to risk it.”
“Fine,” Homage flashed me an angry look as she walks off.
I lay in the bed. My mind was still confused. Why did my body feel like a ton of bricks. My pipleg was shaking. Its nerves flared in spasms. But I couldn’t tell Homage that.
After a few minutes Homage came back. She reset my ankle causing me to let loose a yelp. I’d imagine to those outside the room would think it was our normal noises.
I pulled my heavy body back up and swallowed the Healing Potion. My body tingled as it healed. Exhausted I flopped back in bed.
“You need me to help you get back to sleep?” Homage asks slipping down to the floor at end of the bed
“What do you me-!” Before I could finish, In a flash the mare tossed a blanket over my legs and ducked under. Her wonderful tongue slipped inside me. The sudden sensation makes my eyes roll in the back of my head.
I noticed the card. It was the same one I was looking at earlier. But it was flipped upside down. I flip the card over, “M” and “Mother”. My heart sinks. I instantly toss the blanket aside.
My mother had her head between my legs. I scream in horror. The mare looks up at me. She licks my juices off her lips with a gleeful smile.
“What’s the matter Littlepip,” She asked, “I thought you wanted me to love you?”
“Mom please stop!” I cried, I tried to kick her away but my body couldn’t move. It didn’t have the power too.
“Oh, you want to see where you came from?” My mother stands up on the bed and turns around displaying her rump to me.
I closed my eyes and turn my head away.
“Now, now Littlepip I thought you like that sort of thing,” My mother mocked, No I this point I’m sure this was not my mother. “What? you think my pussy is gross? It is because a baby came out? But you don’t mind baby birth pussies do you? Maybe it’s because you came out of here?”
“Get that away from me you bitch!” I snapped.
“You're a bad girl,” My mother snaps.
“No! no! no!” I scream as she sits on my face.
“You know Littlepip,” The mare on my face sighs, “It’s really a miracle,” She puts her hooves on my crotch and spreads it. “A biological machine that can create life yet has potential of such abuse. We stick things in it for pleasure. Lets others touch it for fun. Then you want to touch other ponies. All that masturbation. We are such dirty ponies.”
The mare begin to start moving her hips. My muzzle sunk deeper in her hole as she humped me. My body struggles for air as my not mother moans in pleasure.
My lungs burned as I tried to suck in air. Soon my brain starts to go black. Then she lifts her rump. I gasped for air.
“Now next time little one if you lick it I’ll let you breathe,” She told me.
I nod my head as tears rolled out the side of my eyes. I didn’t think she was going to kill me but there was that voice in the back of my head that didn’t want to die. So, when she lowered her rump back down I started licking it.
My fake mother moans some more. She slips herself forward to adjust where she wanted me licking. My tongue finds the hard bit of cartilage I was looking for. I crunched it in my teeth as I bit down.
She squirted my face as she orgasmed. The shock made me gasp and my lungs sucked in her severed piece of flesh. My fake mother jumps off of me screaming in pain. Blood squirts out of her privet area with each pump of her heart.
My mind whooshed, I found myself back on the train. Witchcart stood over me with her picture spell book. I reeked of mare and could taste my mother on my lips.
“What’s happing to me?” I asked as I stood up.
“Q for Question,” Witchcart remarks.
“What?” I reacted.
“I used my spell book to summon you here,” Witchcart explains, “You been put under a curse. Luckily you seem to be past the half way point.”
“So, I’m under a curse what’s next?” I wondered.
“R for Rail,” Witchcart answers.
Suddenly the panel I was standing on gives way. As I fell I kicked on SATS. My heart races the fastest it ever had.
SATS identified all the low hanging objects. I rolled and screwwormed for my life. When SATS went out I could hear myself screaming loudly.
The train screeches to a halt. A card rolls by my head. “S” “Stop”. I rolled my eyes.
I crawled to the end of the train. When I got to my feet, I heard the steam whistle squill. The train started moving and I had to grab and clime up on the end cart railing.
I enter the train car. A card was waiting for me. “T” and “Train”. I had time to access my wounds. I had a half a dozen deep cuts. Most of them had stopped bleeding already but could open easily. To my dismay I also screamed my voice out.
The door had a card on it, “U” and “Unity”. I enter into some kind of study.
The air has the smell of a buck’s musk. I took another sniff, earth pony. The scent of the pony was familiar. I gritted my teeth when I realized who it was. Red Eye,
I explore around the room looking for him. All I found were books. There was a balcony one could walk out onto with a nice veiw of a plant covered cliff with a waterfall.
I was a little disappointed that Red Eye's heaven was so pleasant and walked out of the room. After shutting the door behind me, I looked at it for moment.
I pulled off the card and reopened the door. This time there was another train car.
A card lay in the middle of the floor. I walked up to it. “V” and “Victory”. A hard force hits the back of my head.
“Which will you choose Liddlepip?” I heard Ckullx’s voice.
I quickly realized I was on the roof of the train. Again?
“Da wrider or da witch?” Ckullx continued his speech.
I noticed that Mason and Witchcart were hanging off the sides of the train. Mason on one side Witchcart on the other. They were connected by a rope at Ckullx’s feet.
Ckullx points at Mason, “Da wrider who is just a simple stallion, Who’s only sin is dat he loves his daughter.” Ckullx then points at Witchcart, “Or da mare witch who spends her life helping children. With your magic powers you can only save one.”
Suddenly Ckullx tosses a knife to the ground. The rope snaps, I slip into SATS. I took Mason in my magic. Witchcart’s screams faded into the void.
I lost my concentration when Ckullx attacked me. Mason grabs the side ladder when my magic failed.
“You made your choice Liddlepip,” Ckullx smirked.
“Why,” I said horsly with tears in my eyes.
“Da Overmare of Sident Ponyville agreed to give me the Trixie Twilight being in return of teaching you sacrificed.”
All I could do was speak to the Zebra with a look of my eyes. The Zebra under stood my look.
“I know your da avatall of sacrifice,” He told me, “Da Overmare is noder avatall of sacrifice. She dinks your weak.
I don’t care what some bitch thinks of me!” I shout as I struck back at the Zebra.
“Don’t you have some kind of magical weapon or someding?” The Zebra remarks before tripping me with his staff, “I was hoping to see dat.”
I answered by summoning my Keyblade. The sudden appearance of the weapon allowed me to stab my striped enemy in the shoulder.
“You might have a chance,” Ckullx whacks my flank with the end of his staff.
Mason head butts the Zebra. Ckullx spins around and smacks the earth pony in the side of the head.
I try to use my telekinetic magic on the Zebra. A talisman gem embedded in the staff gleams. My magic recoils and rebound on both me and Mason knocking back. Mason almost fell off the side and had to pull himself up.
“Silly girl,” Ckullx laughs, “I’m a Zebra Empire researcher. You dink I don’t have a defense against the most basic unicorn spell?”
Still facing down Ckullx, I inch my way over to Mason. “Go below and get my weapons,” I told the buck in my horse voice. “I’ll try to keep him busy for the moment.”
“Fine by me,” Mason shimmies down the side of the train.
I dodge a staff strike from Ckullx and knocked it back with my Keyblade. I took the chance to run past him. The Zebra took pursuit of me.
I found myself running out of train as I reached the engine car. Suddenly the Casta Taurus’s hand punctures the roof of the car. I whinny as it grabs me dropping my weapon. The full beast climes up out of the hole pulling its self on the roof.
“Aren’d you driving da train?” Ckullx remarks taking a few steps back from the centaur.
The massive monster swings a large sword at Ckullx.
“Too slow big fella,” The Zebra remarks.
I kick myself free and lands on the train roof on my back with a thud. The centaur starts to reach for me. I slipped past the hand and did what any unicorn mare would do when confronted with a male of such massive size. I stabbed my horn in the side if it’s sheath.
The Casta Taurus roars and rears up. I found myself being lifted off the ground Since my horn was still stuck in it’s member.
Ckullx dove in and attacked me with his staff. I blocked the blow with me hind hooves. I could feel the nails on one of my feet crack. The force was strong enough to knock me loose from the Casta Taurus.
The beast swats Ckullx a side sending him off the side of the train. To my shock the Zebra was floating in mid air. Ckullx vooshed over and blew a powder into the Casta Tarsus’s face and mask. The creature collapsed, I didn’t move in time and found myself having to crawl out from under the centaur’s ball sack.
“How do you get yourself in predicaments like dis Liddlepip?” Ckullx mocks from atop the unconscious beast as it’s soccer ball sized testicles bounces around against the back of my head.
I lashed out at the Zebra. He just jumped back and blew more powder in the Casta Taurus’s mask. The behemoth starts to stir and stand. I was standing on top of it.
I lost my footing on the Casta Taurus. I fell off it and the train but caught my self with my telekinetic magic. Then grabbed the ladder on the side.
“Just to have you know I put da beast under my power,” Ckullx told me, “Beast get her.” The Zebra orders.
Casta Taurus swings it's blade at me. It missed me as I got myself back on the train roof. The sword hits the roof’s floor as I dodge another attack.
I focused on the Casta Taurus. My magic may not work on the Zebra but the masked monster was free game.
The creature’s feet were caught in the green aura of my magic. I flip it over with my magic and the monster fell out of view.
My ears flinched at the sound of the gun shot. I took off for the sound. Ckullx went after me.
I saw Mason through the train car sky light. It shattered with a hoof stomp.
As I grabbed my weapons with my magic. Casta Taurus’s blade stabs up through the floor.
Mason looks down the hole, “Isn’t he suppose to be driving?”
I shrug,
Mason grabbed our gear and runs into the next train car.
Ckullx smacked me from behind hitting my thighs with his staff. I flip over on my back. A pull a pistol out of the sky light port.
It fires, Ckullx dodges. I fire three more shots. He moved so fast he looked like a blurr.
The Zebra kicks me in the face. Something in my muzzle snaps and blood starts running down my throat and out my nose.
I roll out of the way of a staff strike and got to my feet.
“See Liddlepip, I’m way better den you,” Ckullx mocks.
The word “Better” clicks in my head. I give a sly smile.
“Why so happy Liddlepip?” Ckullx notes the look on my face.
“That rebound talisman?” I point out, “It reacts to telekinetic magic?”
“Yes you know this,” Ckullz replied.
“Good, because no one does that spell better them me!” I shouted unleashing all my telekinetic might in a green flash.
The talisman gem gave out a high pitch noise, then explodes speckling Ckullx with shards. Suddenly a look of shock goes on his face. He gasps for air as he looks down at the blood spear sticking out of his heart.
I wiped the blood from my nose. “I hate having to use that magic.”
Ckullx starts laughing, “Da black book of course dats where I know where your energy is from.” Then the Zebra gives me a hard look, “He would have sensed da use of his power just now. Now dat he knows a new one is in da realms he will find you and own your soul. Remember Liddlepip, Death is only da beginning.”
Ckullx lets himself fall off the edge of the train.
“Yep, if I was a betting pony I’ll say that wouldn’t be the last we see of him,” I remarked as the body disappeared out of sight.
“Littlepip!” Mason shouts as he climb up on the roof.
As he reached me the Casta Taurus started climbing the train after him or us. With my magic I detached the train cars.
The Casta Taurus roars as the gap between the train cars widen.

Suddenly Ckullx tosses a knife to the ground. The rope snaps, I slip into SATS. I took Witchcart in my magic. Mason’s screams faded into the void.
I lost my concentration when Ckullx attacked me. Witchcart grabs the side ladder when my magic failed. She looks down at the void and her horn glows.
“You made your choice Liddlepip,” Ckullx smirked.
“Why,” I said horsly with tears in my eyes.
“Da Overmare of Sident Ponyville agreed to give me the Trixie Twilight being in return of teaching you sacrificed.”
All I could do was speak to the Zebra with a look of my eyes. The Zebra under stood my look.
“I know your da avatall of sacrifice,” He told me, “Da Overmare is noder avatall of sacrifice. She dinks your weak.
I don’t care what some bitch thinks of me!” I shout as I struck back at the Zebra.
“Don’t you have some kind of magical weapon or someding?” The Zebra remarks before tripping me with his staff, “I was hoping to see dat.”
I answered by summoning my Keyblade. The sudden appearance of the weapon allowed me to stab my striped enemy in the shoulder.
“You might have a chance,” Ckullx whacks my flank with the end of his staff.
Mason head butts the Zebra. Ckullx spins around and smacks the earth pony in the side of the head. The buck falls back into Witchcarts hooves.
I try to use my telekinetic magic on the Zebra. A talisman gem embedded in the staff gleams. My magic recoils and rebound on me, Mason Witchcart knocking us back. Mason almost fell off the side and had to pull himself up.
“Silly girl,” Ckullx laughs, “I’m a Zebra Empire researcher. You dink I don’t have a defense against the most basic unicorn spell?”
“How about the floor!” Witchcart shouts her horn glowing bright.
The metal flooring of the train roof liquefy. Ckullx’s hooves sinks in and the roofing solidified.
“Let me go!” Ckullx shouts.
“No, we have some questions for you,” Littlepip smirks.
