why did i land here?
Chapter 18: to close for comfort
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAs me and rainbow dash walked into sugarcube bakeries there was a sudden loud pop that must have very nearly given twilight a heart attack as a letter appeared over her, we all had jumped back from the sound, and twilight was nearly having a fit as she complained that she had a major headache, I'll second that, I think to myself, we all walked closer as twilight opened the letter and went almost white when she had finished reading it, we all got in even closer and read the message:
Dear elements.
I am sad to inform you that there has been several sightings of a very large elkondrian armada approaching the area just three miles down from your last battle, we need you and any soldiers you can gather down there immediately.
Sincerly,
Celestia
We all read the letter twice more, making sure that we had read it right, another battle? Was the thought on everyone's mind as we looked at each other, we hurried and called a town meeting, fluttershy and pinkie running around town announcing that there was a emergency, while applejack ran to the armory to retrieve our weapons.
Me and twilight with the help of rainbow dash went over a map and plotted the land, looking for areas we should take to give us a advantage of any kind, when I ask the question, " what if I go nuclear again? " " there's no major anything nearby that is of any importance to us, mainly just empty land" twilight replies " but in the case that you do you need to tell me so that I can get all of us out of there, as I can't imagine what I would be like to be caught in one of your blasts".
I listen and remember something that I saw in that book where I had gotten that potion recipe card from, but as I go to speak I sneeze.
Nothing seemed to happen when I sneezed but when I opened my eyes back up I see twilight with a large knife in her shaky hoof, about ten feet away, rainbow dash was pressed up against the ceiling, eyes wide as plates as she stared at me, " what?, why do you have a knife?, what happened?", I ask , or try to but the words wouldn't come out, I feel like I had to sneeze again, and as I bring my leg up to cover my nose and mouth I get quite the shock.
My leg was made up of bone, and with a quick look I realize with a start that I had went back into that state that pinkie had put me in with the stuff in that needle, only as I watched my flesh was starting to come back, and pretty soon I had all my flesh besides my skin back, by this time twilight had come close to me, although she still had the knife, which put me on edge.
Within 3 minutes of me sneezing I had everything back into place but I was still in a state of shock so I didn't ask twilight what was going on here, but I didn't have to " it must still be in your system and circulating in your blood, it must be activated by sneezing or something" goes twilight, and rainbow dash began to edge her way back down from the ceiling, although she kept a good 10 foot gap between us, slowly she began to edge closer as pinkie and applejack walked in the door.
When no one said anything to them they must have realized that something was wrong, and I couldn't help it, I had to sneeze again.
ACHOOOO!, I sneeze and as I changed back to a skeleton pinkie faints, as does rarity when she comes in the door at that exact second, applejack backing away from me, fluttershy came in and gave a little sceam when she saw me. and there I stood, two passed out elements, four others in a state of fear, let me tell you that ain't to good a feeling.
Although I really wanted to know what was happening equestrians were starting to gather outside and we had to go out there, me when my flesh came back so that I didn't scare them away, I watched them through the window from the back of the building so that no one saw me, and within minutes I had all my flesh back and as I walked outside to see what they were saying, staying at the back of the crowd so I wasn't in any ones way, and with a couple words of encouragement from rarity and applejack we went on are way.
We arrived at where we could see the elkondrian ships and with a thought of horror we realize that these ships could easily hold 100000 ships altogether, while we had at best 100 soldiers, and we geared up for a massive battle for this land.
We stayed up all night waiting for the elkondrian army to attack, but was thoroughly disappointed when they didn't attack and we were now tired, pinkie the most, falling asleep while eating breakfast, and twilight decided we should get some sleep and the others will wake us up when they attack, we all were happy to head this and all seven of us fell asleep quickly, but didn't get more than a hour before we were attacked.
