The OC Story
Chapter 14: 2 Lyras for the price of 1
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"Looks like this is where we part ways." Creed said
"No!" Gustavo yelled "We can work together: we don't know how these ponies work, and, after-all, friendship is magic, right?" he gave the Bambi eyes to them.
"Fine... we'll stay together." everyone cheered for sticking together. A door opened and only the silhouette of a unicorn appeared.
"Who dares enter my domain?" it asked in a voice similar to Sauron's (LotR).
"It is us," Cutlass responded "The crew of the departed Seahorse."
"And we are their hirers." Doug added "We have been sent by Princess Mi Amore Cadenza to aid you against the dragons."
"Aid has finally came to us?" The unicorn asked "And the both of you are going to help us?"
"I guess."
"In that case," the unicorn moved forward out of the shadow, and it was-
"LYRA!?!?!?" The O.C.s yelled
"How did you know my name?"
"Weren't you a human when we last saw you?" Russell asked
"Did you say 'Humans'?" Cutlass asked
"Your answer is both yes, and no." Lyra answered "The one you saw was, how can we say, a fake and a real."
"How does that work?" Matt asked
"You see, when that large boom went out, not only did humans and more ponies entered, but, how shall we say, altered versions of citizens came as well."
"Altered versions?" Kane asked
"Yes, let me give you an example." she lowered her horn and casted a spell, revealing some of the stuff that's happening. The .Mov version of Fluttershy was running around, swinging her chainsaw at a human couple, running for their lives. A Princess Molsetia stood right behind some pony, who was in a bush getting a train set. The Pinkie Pie from Cupcakes was luring in another pony (most likely an O.C.) to an alleyway.
"Cabin in the Woods anyone?" Doug asked
"We can deal with them later, but you can deal with the dragons now... unless, you quit.
"Okay... That was... interesting, but we won't be battling the recreations, not now, at least, we are just here to aid you with your dragon problem."
"Really?" Lyra asked "I was hoping for someone to help me get rid of this thing." A small chibi blob of Lyra crawled on top of her head.
"I'm Lyra," the blob said in a much younger and high pitched voice "I love humans and I want to be one when I grow up."
"Why do you want to get rid of that?" Kane asked
"It's too cute for me." The unicorn replied
"I'll take it then!" he grabbed the blob and held it with his hooves "Hello there, I'm Kane, but you can call me Strongheart."
"Stwongheart?" the blob asked
"DIABEETUS!!!" Everyone stared awkwardly in silence.
"Now that that's over," Lyra broke the silence "How are you going to fight the dragons?"
"Easy," Doug replied "With live bait." Everyone turned their heads to Kane, seeing him snuggling with the blob. Kane saw everyone staring at him and looked at the blob.
"Oh no!" Kane said "You are not going to use this innocent blob as bait."
"We're not looking at the blob." Doug replied. A sudden realiziation came to the alicorn's face.
"Tackle him!" Gustavo yelled. They all tackled Kane, tying him up with rope. Taster and Seashore J.R. stayed behind. Kane struggled, as they went inside a bubble for all of them to fit in.
"Let me go!" Kane yelled "This feels so awkward to me!"
"C'mon," Matt said, trying to calm his best friend "this will all be over soon. I promise we have a plan of attack to fight the dragons without you getting hurt. Right?" Doug nodded his head yes.
"I don't believe you! Lywa! Help me!"
"Lywa?" Russell asked
"I decided to call her that for now. Lywa! Rescue me! I am a human in disguise!"
"You are?" Lywa asked
"Yes! Aid me and I will grant you your wish to become a human!"
"Weally?" The blob went to Doug's leg and bit on it. Doug shaked off the blob, unaffected by it. They went back to the surface, right near the boat.
"One more thing to make this work." Doug said. He pulled out the cheeze Whizz Cannon and blasted Kane, covering him in cheeze whizz. Without a word, Creed, Bird-eye, and Russell all flied to the sky, keeping the rope in their mouths and keeping it straight enough for it to be tight, but not tight to choke Kane.
"Now all we do is wait, right?" Cutlass asked
"Maybe." Doug replied "Canon?"
"Aye!" Canon replied, full attention
"Let's add some... music for our guests."
"On it!" Lowering his horn, he casted a spell that shot at Kane, causing his mouth to open and sound like bells. Some rustling came out of Kane's wings, and the Lyra blob came out.
"What the-?" Doug yelled "How did she-"
"My feather!" Kane yelled in pain. The blob took a large feather out and began to cut the rope with it on Kane's flank area.
"You know," Doug said "That isn't going to work. You should really get down there bef-" the rope was sliced, and the blob Lyra landed on Matt's head, dangling off his horn. The pegasi dropped their mouths in awe. Kane, with the exception of one of his back legs still tied was free.
"Thank you lywa!" Kane said "I will fulfill your wish, but right after I give a peace of my mind with my 'friends'. YOU GUYS: WHAT THE-" Before he could speak, a large red blur speed across, taking Kane and the rope with it.
"Hold on tight!" Lyra said. The end of the rope was tied to the boat, causing the boat to go really fast. Everyone grabbed onto the sides of the boats, and they were out of sight.
"Do you think we should follow them?" Bird-eye asked
"We should," Creed answered "but we'll let the awkward sounding one decide." Russell flapped in the sky, blank looking
"We should follow them." he finally answered. They started to make their way to where the boat was heading.
On the boat, they all saw ahead an island where many dragons were flying above. The blur slowed down a bit, showing that it was, in fact, a huge red dragon with a yellow underbelly.
"Where's Kane?" Matt asked
"Maybe right between it's eyes." Doug answered
"Or maybe worse." Cutlass added. The front part of the boat snapped apart, causing them to slow down, lose control and crash onto the sandy beach. They saw the dragon entering a cave nearby and followed. They hid behind some boulders and looked into the cave: luckily, this dragon was alone, as it was surrounded by many rare jewels. What they saw was shocking: The dragon slurped the rope as a noodle and bit the ripped piece of the boat, then swallowed. Kane was swallowed whole!!!
"Kane!!!" Matt yelled.
"Quiet!" the rest yelled, tackling Matt and covering his mouth. They saw the dragon looking around a bit, hearing them, but then ignoring it. The dragon took a deep yawn and fell asleep on it's treasure.
"You realize we all could've ended up like your friend," Cutlass snapped while whispering "Or worse!"
"He's my friend!" Matt whispered-yelled back "Do you have any idea how that's processing in my brain right now?"
"We do." Canon said
"You do?"
"Yes, this hasn't been the first time this has happened: most were just accidents, very few were intentional."
"Really? This type of stuff happens?"
"Aye. They usually get out by the dragon themselves... usually... but we may need to use our brains to get him out, and possible know why they be attackin' the sea-ponies."
"Yeah," Lyra added "What should we do?"
