The Ultimate Surprise
Chapter 2: New Friends
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI was falling towards the timberwolves and the pony's as I fell I thought what was I thinking, I saw one of the Timberwolves jump up and start to attack, I did the only thing I could think of.
"Hey firewood!!"
I yelled in a deep voice, when the timberwolves looked up at me I sent a fireball straight at it and it burst into flames, I landed in between the timberwolves and the pony`s the Timberwolves looked at me with wide eyes and to the spot where there friend had been they turned to me as I spoke
"If you don't want to end up like your friend I suggest you leave" as I started to gather more fire in my hand. They looked at me with a low growl and started backing up, but they didn't leave, they just kept coming. I fought them off as beast as I could. I disintegrated at least four to five of them, until the others finally began to walk back into the woods. Something didn't feel right with how they backed away so fast, but I decided to just leave it be. I looked to the two young anthro mares and touched the ultimatrix and transformed to what I thought was normal.
"Are you ok?" I asked they looked at me with wide eyes and nodded, I looked at them, noticing that one of the CMC was missing.
"I thought there was three of you where's Applebloom?" I asked, at that statement Sweetie belle's eyes grew wide and said
"She's at the tree house we were on our way there when the timberwolves attacked us, she was at the tree house already and she told us to run. We looked back to see her jump out of a window as the wolves were tearing down the tree house, it fell on her; and she was covered in the leaves!" at this point the elements were their and applejack was on the verge of tears.
"My s-sister w-w-w-was w-what?" she started to back up, and started to run towards the tree house.
"Applejack! wait" Twilight yelled as she, and the others started to run after her; but I was already running towards her and turned back to tell them "no go get Scootaloo, and sweetie belle to safety, and tell the princesses what`s happening we might need their help with the timberwolves, me and applejack will get Applebloom , go back to Ponyville!"
Before any of them could respond I popped open the top of the ultimatrix and slammed it on to the image of Wildmutt and in a split second I was in the form of a giant orange dog, and I started to run faster and ran right in between Applejack`s legs and as I threw her onto my back "whoa nelly"was all she could say. As we were getting closer we heard voices, ones that applejack knew all too well.
"Stay away from my little sister "and "don't you touch my grand babies,"
"Big mac and granny!" she said "They must be helping Applebloom can't we go any faster!"
She asked in a panic I nodded my head yes, and jumped into the air; I reached up and touched the ultimatrix and in another flash of blue energy I transformed."Ultimate Wildmutt" I exclaimed. I became significantly larger and more muscular than Wildmutt. My fur became a maroon-red color. I had four huge gray/white spikes running down his back that overlap. These spikes start out as a shark-like fin at my head and rises almost into an arc over the back, tapering near the rump. I also has a long tail whose tip has a horn, resembling a scorpion stinger "whoa" was all she could say as I ran faster than ever.
As we were running we came across the timberwolves that had stopped attacking Sweetie belle and Scootaloo, "we don't have time for this" I yelled as I jumped over them and shook Applejack off. “I`ll take care of these guys, you go help your family.”
“I ain't just gonna leave you!” Applejack protested.
“Just go, i'll catch up.” I said as I charged the timberwolves, I cut three of them in half; and knocked one into a tree shattering it. The timberwolves kept coming, I was having a hard time delaying them. All of a sudden the timberwolves howled in pain, I looked to see Applejack throwing rocks at them from behind; she just smirked at me and said “what are you waiting for, get rid of them!” I did as she told, I used my tail to knock them back. I used my strength to ram into them, into a tree dismantling them.
I walked over to Applejack. “I thought I told you to help your family, why would you risk losing them in order to help a stranger?” I asked.
“I don't wanna lose my family, but I couldn't just leave you to fight them all by yourself; my ma, and pa would have rolled over in their graves if i did, they raised me to help anypony or anything in need.” she responded.
“Well, I think they'll be very proud of you, now come on theres save your family.” i said as she got back on my back.
As we got to the clearing we saw the timberwolves surrounding the three apples "hold on tight," I told applejack boy am I glad ultimate Wildmutt can talk I thought, I jumped up and went over the timberwolves and stopped in front of the three terrified apples "what the hay?" They all said in unison.
"Applejack, is that you" Big mac asked "What are you doing hear, and what is that thing you're on?"
"Hey, I am not a thing, my name is Dillan and I would appreciate it if you would address me as such" I said to him in an angry tone.
"It can talk?!" granny said. "How!? What is it?"
"Granny,he is not an it, he is a he, and he's my friend, so don't yawl go around and being rude" Applejack said glaring at them "especially not when he`s going out of his way to help yawl,"
"Thanks." I said. "Y-you think of me as a friend already... we just met;... Why?"
"Because you went running through the everfree forest, just to help somepony that needed it" she said with a smile "and you made sure to help me get hear before anything happened to my family, because of that I think of ya as a friend Dillan,"
"Thanks" I said "That means a lot to me, but you did just meet me, not all that smart."
“That maybe true, but I'm willing to give ya the benefit of the doubt; after all why would i have helped you before if I didn't think you as a friend?.” she said.
“Because, your parents raised you that way.” I responded.
“Good point, but your a kind fellow; you went running into the everfree forest just to save some pony you don't know, so you're my friend.”
“Thanks, I never really had friends back home, they always would make fun of me; or pick on me because of the size of my belly.”
“Well, ah won`t make fun of you, and neither will mah friends.” she said. As we were talking the timberwolves began to growl, and started walking towards us.
I was about to attack them, when I realized applejack was still on my back. "Get off please " I asked her "I don't want you to get hurt.”
