Chapter 7: Chapter 6: Bulljutsu: The Art of Bullshitting Your Way Out of Bad Situations
Previous Chapter Next ChapterThe idea of how to get Star out of trouble hit me. “NINJAS! THEY'RE COMING FOR ROUND TWO!!!!” I screamed.
The three drones got my idea right away and each took the form of a movie ninja.
I was roundhoused out of the living room and onto the floor of the kitchen.
I rolled over and stood up, “Oh thats it…”
Star jumped up, “Fluttershy stay in here! We’ll deal with this!”
I looked back to him and nodded, “Let’s take these fools down… They want to attack us… they’ll feel the thunder.”
“Bad analogy. But let’s do this!” He said as he joined me.
We both got into combat stances and charged the ‘ninja’.
-----------------
They hit one of the three changelings hard.
But thanks to the ability for the changeling to gain skills based on forms the drone held it’s ground and beat J to the ground.
The other two drones attacked J and he was sent flying into a wall.
Stardust was able to take the first changeling down with relative ease. He’d sat through enough shitty kung-fu movies to know how to fight ninjas.
He moved onto the next one.
Just as he prepared to fight this one the front door came down and another ninja charged into the living room.
It was followed by Applejack and Rainbow Dash, “THERE IT IS!”
The other free standing ninja jumped to help its comrade and took on the two mares.
“HEY YOU FIGHT ME! HO-HA!” The ninja in front of Star stated.
“Shitty kung-fu movies…” Star said under his breath.
J moved slightly and coughed up some spit. He got up and tackled both of the changelings fighting Fluttershy’s friends.
Star delivered gut punch after gut punch to the ninja and it dropped.
The ninja he downed before clambered up and hauled it’s injured friend away from Star.
“YEAH RUN!” Star shouted as he turned towards the… J had gotten his ass kicked again and both Applejack and Rainbow Dash where laying on the floor knocked out.
Both the ninja’s turned to attack Star.
“Oh that’s how it’s going to be?” Star questioned. He knew he was in for the fight of his life.
Then it happened. One of them charged him and the other stayed back.
“Oh yeah. Kung-fu logic.” Star said under his breath as he took on the first ninja.
The fight wasn’t grand or noteworthy. He kicked the ninja’s ass with no trouble at all.
The second ninja hauled his friend up and threw a flash bomb all four vanished.
-----------------
“Stardust!” Fluttershy said, rushing over to me.
“I’m alright.. Don’t worry about me.” I said, catching her as she nearly tackled me. We stood there for minutes as we stared into each other, eventually locking into a passionate kiss.
J Dog shot bolt upright and charged for the bathroom. The door slammed shut behind him.
“He going to be alright?” Fluttershy said, panting as we broke from the embrace.
“He’ll be fine.” I said, pulling her back into it.
“Wait.” She said, pushing me back.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
“You said you were going to tell me something about yesterday?” She said.
“Really? That’s what.. I just beat the shit out of like… five ninjas and you’re…” I started to say, sighing in defeat. “Alright..”
“FOUR!” J called out, “OH GOD NOT AGAIN!”
“WHATEVER!” I yelled up to him. We made our way to the living room and sat down.
“Okay just prepare yourself.” I said, taking a deep breath in, but noticed something on the table before I began to speak.
“Oh look a note! Let’s read that.” I said quickly, pointing to the table. I quickly picked it up and read aloud, “Remember Sheath this is only for your eyes. I want all six of these so called Elements of Harmony dead. I don’t care how. I’ve paid eight thousand bits to you in advance. Another eight thousand for each. If you fail then I want no part in this. I will have you killed if you don’t come back with at least one of them dead. Good luck, Xero.”
“Oh my..” Fluttershy said, covering her mouth with a hand. I placed a hand on my forehead, rubbing my temple.
“God damnit J..” I said, “How the fuck...Ninjas….Just….Ninjas.”
J rushed down, “So…” I gave him the note, “WOAH! WOAH! I didn’t do this! This is some really freaky… someone really sent an assassin? Oh hell no. They won’t get away with this.”
“Should I even ask?” I said, holding my arms out in confusion.
“I wouldn’t be able to answer…” He responded. Just as that was said a small explosion rattled the house. “Oh great. He isn’t dead. My guess is… he’ll want revenge… Not on you… to risky you beat his flank hard…”
“Maybe we should call the fire department… Or you know, someone?” I said.
“I’ll get on that.” J said as he walked to the kitchen presumably to call the Fire department.
“Hey Fluttershy. How’s about you and me go ‘Out’ to eat. This place isn’t exactly in the best condition.” I asked.
“Um.. Sure. That sounds nice.” She said, surprisingly unphased by past events.
“You should probably tell your friends about the...hitmen..” I said, scratching my head.
“Yes! That first. Preferably…” She said quickly.
The front door was kicked down and three firemen rushed in and down into the basement. A bewildered postman stood outside, “Um… delivery… to… J? Is he… here?”
“J! YOU GOT A PACKAGE!” I yelled.
“I heard… no need to yell.” J said as he walked to the postman, “So…”
“Here… just take it. I don’t care…” The postman replied as he shoved the letter into J’s hands.
“Well a letter? Okay…” J said as he walked in, “I’ll need to fix that…” He commented looking at the fallen door.
J walked over to a free chair and sat down. He opened up the letter and scanned over it.
“We’re going to go now… You going to be okay J?” I asked.
“Yeah… I’ll be going though… Apparently Octavia thinks it’s a good idea for me to meet her in Canterlot.” J said as he pulled out a train ticket from the envelope, “She even has a large enough room for us both to stay in. Two beds… she really likes me.”
“Well if i know you, those beds won’t be separate for very long!” I said, patting him on the back as I walk to the door. “Come on Fluttershy, lets leave the mess for J to clean up. You can handle it right buddy?”
He said under his breath, “I don’t know about being separate for long… I may want it to last longer…” He snapped back up and said, “Yeah… I can handle it.”
“That’s the spirit!” I said, walking through the the door and slamming it, only to fall off its hinges shortly after. “Oh yeah… Door. Might want to get that fixed.”
