The Pack
Chapter 37: Chapter 33: Payback
Previous Chapter Next Chapter“THE GUILTY PAY THE PRICE!” Celestia yelled.
“Sister… why did another player just join?” Luna questioned.
Celestia looked at the name, “It shouldn’t be open to anyone else…” She said.
The server lagged intensely as a lot more players joined.
“HERE COME THE HAXS!” One of them typed.
“THE HACKS!” Another one typed.
“Oh… no.” Luna said as he eyes widened. “An army…”
“Let them come…” Celestia said, equipping a diamond sword, “The castle shall fall!”
--------------------------
10 Minutes Later:
“How did they get so many arrows?” Luna questioned as another batch of arrows rained down from about lighting anything they hit on fire.
“Why are you surprised?” Celestia asked, setting up a pile of TNT.
“The server has ten slots… there’s twenty of them…” Luna stated, “And… a command just came through.”
“What?” Celestia asked, turning to her sister.
“‘Sun_Bro’s gamemode is now set to Survival…” Luna responded, “One of them knows what they’re doing…” She attempted to counter the command but was shut out every time, “I can’t get through!”
“Damn… We don’t need it anyways.” Celestia said, “You still have the flint and iron?”
“Yeah I…” Luna began. Lightning rained down hitting her and lighting the area around her on fire, “No… I don’t…”
“Forget it… I have redstone. I just need to…” Celestia said before all typing stopped.
‘Server has been shut down.’
“What…” Luna questioned, “It wasn’t a normal shutdown. I think someone corrupted the world!”
Celestia took a deep breath in and stood up, walking to the door.
“Sister… what are you going to do?” Luna asked as she turned to Celestia.
“Some… Enchanting.” Celestia said before slamming the door behind her.
“Well… okay then…” Luna responded before she realised what that meant, “No… you wouldn’t dare try that…” Luna got up and tried to open the door but it magically sealed itself, “Damn it… I can’t stop it…” She tried to teleport out but was instantly teleported back into the room. “They shouldn’t have fed the troll… This won’t end well.”
-----------------
A few hours later:
I woke up still finding both Cadence and Chrysalis cuddled close to me. I squirmed out of their grasp and they cuddled against each other.
When I entered the bathroom it felt strange. Something was wrong I just could put a finger on what it was.
-------------------
I immediately heard a scream. I looked up to the top of the stairs along with Fluttershy, Twilight, and Orion. Sliding down the railing was…
“J…?” I questioned in disbelief. He was… A child.
J laughed as he rolled across the floor and charged for the door, “Now… I need to get this back panty raid successful!” He said without even noticing us.
“W… I don’t…” I said weakly as a purple aura surrounded him, stopping him dead in his tracks.
“DAMN IT! Let me go!” J said as he squirmed against the magic.
“He’s so cute!” Pinkie shouted, pinching his cheeks.
“Pinkie?!” I jumped, “When did you get here?” I asked.
“Let me go!” J said as he struggled even harder. “I’m not going to give it up! I got em fair and square!”
“We’ll see about that!” Pinkie said, putting her arms under his shirt and tickling his sides.
J squirmed even more trying to contain his laughter. “Stop… it…“ He said weakly as it became evident that he couldn’t last much longer.
“Nope!” Pinkie shouted, placing her mouth to his stomach and blowing.
J’s face went straight and he glared down at Pinkie.
Pinkie tensed up as she stared back up at him, falling backwards onto her ass.
“Good… don’t do that.” J stated as he stopped staring. “I didn’t hate… the tickling… just not… the stomach thing… I hate that…”
My face twisted up as I tried not to laugh, “Hey… Fluttershy.” I said, my voice shaking slightly.
“Yeah…?” She said, staring at J in disbelief.
“Maybe you should go tell Cadence.” I said as I burst out laughing.
“GIVE ME BACK MY PANTIES!” Cadence screamed as she came down the steps.
J tensed up and started struggling harder, “NO! I DON’T WANT TO DIE! LET ME GO!” He yelled as Cadence got closer.
Eight tentacles quickly came out and moved behind J, forming a wall between him and Cadence.
“Hold on Cadence… Let’s just calm down for a second.” I said.
“I just want my panties back!” Cadence responded, “I’m not going to kill him!”
“You aren’t?” J questioned as he looked back still fearful.
“No. I need to fix what happened to you!” Cadence responded.
“It’s okay Lemmy…” I said, placing a hand on one of the tentacles. They cautiously pulled back and hovered around me. I looked over to see Spike staring at Cadence, his mouth open as a drop of drool fell to the floor.
J looked at Twilight, “Let me go.” He said, “Now.”
Twilight released her hold, taking a step back.
“Thank you.” He said. He threw Cadence her panties back, “There but I’m keeping the rest…”
“Fine.” Cadence responded, “You and Spike go into the kitchen.” She then commanded pointing towards it, “NOW!”
Spike jumped and ran into the kitchen.
J stood there looking unimpressed, “You can’t command me.” He responded, “None of you can.”
“I’ll deal with him.” I said as all the tentacles wrapped around him, the last one covering his eyes.
J groaned, “I hate you all.” He said, “All of you. I don’t even know you and I hate you all with the very bottom of my soul. When I get free you’ll fear the nig--- MMPH!” He got out as a tentacle silenced him.
“We’ll be in the kitchen.” I said, dragging him with me to where Spike was waiting.
“Wait you’re coming in here to Star?” Spike asked.
“Yeah. Cadence is having a midlife crisis right now. I’m going to make sure you aren’t caught in the explosion.” I said, sitting down as I raised J up into one of the chairs, still tied down.
A sharp pain lanced up one of the tentacles as they all ripped back.
“Don’t mess with me.” J stated coldly, “My Dad has taught me all about those things.”
The tentacles all shot back to me as i rubbed one, “You okay Lemmy?” I asked quickly. My head shot back to J, “Don’t do that again… Ever again.” I said angrily.
“Next time you try to bind me I’ll tear it off.” J responded as he stared at me, “Now…” He sighed a little before he sniffled a little his head fell onto the table as he started crying.
“Hey… What’s wrong.” I said in a concerned tone, scooting my chair next to him.
“Go… away… I… I don’t need your pity…” He responded as he continued crying.
“Is there something I should pity you for?” I questioned, “All I see is a friend who looks very sad next to me. And I really hate seeing that.”
J’s head shot up and he looked at me, “What did you just call me?” He asked.
“What?” I asked, “A friend?”
“No… no you aren’t my friend… I don’t have any…” J said as he looked away, “I don’t have any…”
“Oh darn… That’s a real shame. I guess I should leave then…” I said with a shrug, about to stand up.
“You should… you don’t want me as a friend.” J said quietly with a tinge bit of anger, “I’m just a weakling… why would you want me around?”
“Well for one… I need someone to protect me from Cadence.” I laughed, “And two… You aren’t weak. Far from it…”
J laughed in disbelief, “That’s a first.” He said, “You’re just using that to get to me… I know that trick… I’ve let it happen too often…”
“Oh darn… I thought it was working for a second there too!” I said jokingly, nudging him.
His eyes darted to me, “Why would I be friends with you?” He asked, “You have all of this while all I have is my dad… why would you want someone who has barely anything?”
“Well… I guess you could say that you remind me of someone I knew when I was growing up.” I sighed, turning my chair to face him. “Do you mind if I tell you a story?”
“It’s not like I have a choice.” J responded, “Go ahead.”
“You’re right, you don’t.” I said with a smile, “When I was your age I didn’t have any friends either. I was alone, except…” I paused.
“Well. Don’t just stop there.” J said, “What’s next?”
“Well… I didn’t have a family. I didn’t have a mother, or a father. Your better than me in that sense. You had someone to care for you. And I envy you in that aspect. You have someone you can fall back to, someone that cares about you. I didn’t.” I shrugged.
“Fall back on? I’ve raised myself… he taught me a few things… not very much though. He’s always gone… like now I don’t know where he is… I don’t think he knows where I am either…” J responded, “He’s not much in my life… I would have been better off alone.”
“Well… Do you have a home? Do you have food? Water?” I asked.
“Our home burned down years ago… we live in a cave and… most of the time the streams are frozen over…” J said quietly, “I really haven’t eaten much in days…” His stomach rumbled a little, “So no… I don’t have any of those.”
“Well, you know he loves you right? He might not be there, but that’s because he’s fighting for you. You have to know that right?” I questioned.
“Then why hasn’t he ever taught me how to hunt? Why did I have to take care of my own wounds after bullies attacked me? Sometimes… I don’t know… Sometimes I think I am alone and he’s not really real…” J said as tears started coming down his face, “I’ve nursed myself back to health so many times I know how to take care of knife wounds without any supplies… He hasn’t helped… He isn’t there when I need him… I can only rely on myself. Why should I put trust in anyone who isn’t going to be there when I need them most?”
“Wow.” I said, “I thought you said you were weak? When I was a kid if i got the slightest scrape I started crying. You’re a badass you know that?” I said.
“Crying just brought the animals down on us… I learned not to.” J said quietly.
“Maybe your Dad thought you didn’t need his help. It’s like you said, you took care of yourself. Hell, if i was him… I’d be the proudest father on the planet.” I said, placing a hand on his shoulder, “You’re a tough kid. I know you would definitely fit in around here.”
“So… they want a freak of nature around here?” J questioned. He shook his head a little, “No… no I’m not…”
“Your damn right you’re not.” I said, “Twilight! Come in here for a second.”
Twilight fell forward into the kitchen, having been listening the entire time.
“Yes?” She asked quickly, looking up at us. She got up and looked at me. I smiled, leaning down and whispering something to J.
“Why would I say science?” J said loudly.
Twilight instantly locked up, staring straight ahead as a wet spot appeared on her pants. She slowly turned around, walking out of the kitchen.
“What a freak…” I grinned, nudging J.
J laughed a little, “Yeah… maybe. Hey… do… you have anything to do around here? Other than stealing clothing right off of bodies.” He asked.
“TV… Video games…” I shrugged, “But first, how about we get something in that stomach of yours?”
“Oh! Sure! Can you cook something like… um… I haven’t had deer in a really long time…” J said. “Or… any meat… or… anything other than nuts…”
“Well I don’t have any deer… How about some chicken? Maybe waffles, bacon, eggs… Some orange juice. Toast and jam… And maybe a little ice cream for dessert?” I asked.
J was sitting there staring at me intently, “That sounds awesome!” He said happily. “I don’t even know what half that stuff is but it sounds great!”
“I’ll get cooking then.” I said, jumping up, but was forced back as a tentacle was gripping the chair.
“What do you mean apologize?” I asked, “He doesn’t have to say sorry Lemmy…”
“I don’t really like being… choked.” J said quietly.
“See? It was our fault in the first place… No of course not! Stop being so impulsive.” I said as the tentacle slapped me across the face.
“Hey! Watch it mister…” I said angrily.
“And… what’s a TV and… what are video games?” J asked.
“I’ll show you later… For now, ‘WE’ are going to make you some grub.” I said, glaring at the tentacle. Seven more came out of my back and started turning on the stove and grabbing things from the fridge.
J just watched, “If it helps get food faster… I’m sorry for hurting you Lemmy…” J said quietly.
One of the tentacles stretched over to J, wrapping around him like a hug.
----------------
“Aaand done…” I said, wiping the sweat off my face as i set down the final plate of food.
J sat down and looked at the food, “What… is this?” He asked as he picked up a waffle. “It looks so… strange…”
“Just try a little.” I said, pouring some syrup on it and handing him a fork.
He picked up the entire waffle and stuffed it in his mouth. His eyes lit up and he picked up the plate and drank the syrup left on it. He placed the plate down and grabbed the syrup bottle and chugged it down.
“Uhhh…” I said, raising a finger.
As Orion entered the bottle was chucked at him.
“OW!” Orion yelled, falling backwards as he was caught off guard.
“MORE!” J said, “I NEED MORE!”
“Maybe… Try some bacon?” I asked, sliding the plate of meat forward.
J’s eye twitched as he shook in his seat.
“That reminds me of the first time I tried sugar!” Pinkie said. The way she said sugar made it sound like a drug.
J grabbed a piece of bacon and ate it quickly.
I pushed the plate of chicken forward, next to the bacon.
J grabbed a large piece of chicken and inhaled it. “Good… good. Never… had…” He said as he jittered a little more.
I looked to the doorway to see Cadence peeking in at J, her mouth open as he inhaled more food. Spike stood next to me drooling at the food disappearing.
“I’ll make you some later…” I whispered to Spike.
J had already devoured all the eggs and toast. He started licking the jar of jam clean.
“How bout some Ice cream?” I asked, immediately seeing Cadence’s head shaking violently.
J looked at me, “Yes… whatever… it is… yes… more… sugar… must have…” J stammered as he ate the last bit of bacon.
I walked over to the freezer, grabbing the small tub of icecream and placed it on the table in front of him. Cadence glared at me.
“Just let him have his sugar rush…” I said defensively to her silent stare.
When I looked down J and the ice cream were gone.
“Twilight!” I yelled, immediately seeing her appear in front of me, “Code 5!”
“Right!” She said, grabbing the fire extinguisher and chucking it at Spike. Spike flew into the table and i watched it smash into pieces.
“I said 5 not 9!” I said quickly.
“WHAT THE FUCK IS CODE 9!” Spike yelled under the debris of wood and plates.
“Language Spike.” Twilight said before disappearing.
“Cadence… You and the others fan out.” I said.
“What… Is code 5?” She asked.
“No time, just look for him!” I said quickly.
I heard the sound of a door getting smashed and something moving quickly across the floor upstairs.
“Twilight wait!” I shouted, she appeared in front of me again in a purple flash, wearing a hockey mask and holding a pair of scissors, with a jumper cable.
“What I’ve almost got everything…” She said.
“I take it back, it’s a code 5B.” I said. She paused.
“May god help us all…” She said, disappearing again.
I heard the sound of a chainsaw revving up. Followed by insane laughter.
“Ya Cadence… This is all you.” I said.
“We should check on Chrysalis.” Cadence said.
“Yes. And by ‘We’ you mean you right?” I said as a light blue aura engulfed me, dragging me with her as she walked to the stairs.
“THE SOULS OF THE DAMNED HUNGER!” J screamed. “NONE SHALL SURVIVE THE WRATH OF THE SUGAR GODS!”
“Spike! Stay there!” I shouted, “Pinkie and Fluttershy, keep him safe… Remember me!” I shouted as i disappeared around the corner at the top of the stairs with Cadence.
As I was dragged into J’s room I saw the bed torn apart and hacked into little pieces.
I was released, now standing next to Cadence as she looked at me.
“Lemmy, find him!” I said, immediately hearing a whining sound, “What do you mean you don’t want to? All he has is a chainsaw… What’s the worst that could happen?”
I heard another bout of insane laughter and I heard a shotgun go off. The sound echoed from my room.
The power in the house suddenly cut out.
I rushed to the staircase, “TWILIGHT! CODE 8A!”
I heard a loud crash. “DAMN IT!” Spike shouted.
“I SAID A!” I shouted again.
I heard another blast from the shotgun quickly followed by the chainsaw being driven into something.
“Oh my god I think he’s possessed by Bruce Campbell…” I said.
“We need to stop him…” Cadence said. “And I mean WE you caused this! You gave him sugar!”
“Hey I’m not the one that turned him into a 13 year old ‘Cadence’!” I said with emphasis.
“I didn’t either! Celestia did! This was her magic!” Cadence retorted, “If we survive I’m dragging you with me to Canterlot to fix this!”
“Why would Celestia do that?” I asked quizzically.
“When you get Aunt Celestia angry enough she… she becomes a monster…” Cadence responded.
“CLICK CLICK BOOM!” J shouted in glee as he blasted the shotgun again.
“What did we do to make her angry?” I questioned, flinching at the shot.
“Not you… J’s trolling did it.” Cadence responded, “We need to stop him before he kills anyone else…”
She grabbed my arm and drug me to the door.
Everything went quiet inside the room when we got to the door.
I froze, taking a long pause before Cadence and I shared a terrified glance at each other.
She motioned for me to open the door.
I reached for the handle and slowly opened the door.
I looked in.
“Oh shit…” I said.
