Fighting a Hygon? (7)

The birds singing from the rooftops echoed down to the alley below. I slowly rose from my drool covered pillow. God that was a great bacon dream. I stood up and began to stretch my limbs but with little success due to the small size of the alley. I began to make my way down the alleyway preparing for another day in the wondrous world of Equestria. Those two idiots yesterday had some pretty cool fedoras. Secondary Mission added! Find fedora! I made my way into the town square.Sounds of commerce filled the air, the battering between customer and vendor. The ponies must gotten a little more used to my presence.


I began my search for a fedora in the fashion center of Cantorlot. The fashion center had a much more high society air to it. In the town square the ponies had their nose in the air, in the fashion center they had their nose so far up that they could see behind them. Besides the high society the only difference is that it is all fashion stores. Hat store, hat store where the hell is the hat store? There were stores for specific articles of clothing. Dress store, suit stores, jewelry stores and hat stores littered the streets. Thats all there were, ponies don't exactly wear a lot of clothing, so I'm lucky that they even have hat store. I enter the store and the ringing of the bell fills the room.


"Just a moment." Called a voice from behind the counter.


A blue earth pony with a large black top hat with a ace of diamonds and a king of hearts in the strap around its base was firmly placed on his yellow mane.His cutie was of a top and a monocle.


"Now what can I do for you..." his sentenced drifted off as he looked up toward me, "sir?"

"Please don't run and hide, it's getting quite annoying when every other creature does so."

"Alright, " He quickly recovered from his stupor, "My name is Top Hat, what can I do for you?"

"Really just like that? No questioning gaze, no nervous shaking?"

"If you were going to harm me or my store you would have done so by now. Now what can I help you with?"

"Fair enough," I begin to walk between his selection of hats that varied from cowboy (cowpony?) hats to berets, "do you have any fedoras?"

"Ah fedoras! Those have become quite popular since that griffin fellow came to town a while back."

Top Hat marched down his rows upon rows of hats, quickly disappearing from sight. The shuffling of boxes could be heard from the back of the store. The earth pony returned from the rows of hats with a box in his back. He approached me and placed the box on the counter.

"Try this one on, it was made for griffins but I should fit you fine."

I open the box to reveal a black and gray fedora that alternated colors in squares with blue strap at the base of the hat. I grab the hat and feel the felt. I place the hat on my head, it bends my ears slightly so that made it less comfortable than it should have been but other than that it felt great to have a fedora on my head.

"How much?"

"35 bits should pay for it"

I bring out a small bag where I've kept the bits I have accumulated over the past few days. I place a few bits onto the counter and walk out the door. Mission complete! I began my stroll back to the general district where I could possibly get the gold I received from beating those two dumbass hunters. My hopes of a peaceful walk back to the general district and those that concerned having a normal day were quickly swept away when I heard.

"Dragon! A dragon is attacking!"

Another screaming voice shouted "But it has two heads so it can't be a dragon, it must be a hydra! A hydra is attacking!"

"Run for your lives it's a..." the stallion paused in the middle of the chaos, "A hygon! A hygon is attacking!"

A hygon? Better see if I can deal with it.

I begin my walk toward the hygon dodging stallions and mares running the opposite direction. It's almost peaceful if it weren't for the creature attacking the city thing. I walked around a corner only to be greeted with a two headed-dragon thing also coming around the corner. We both tumble from the sudden impact and land with a thump.

"Damn ponies never watching where the hell their walking. I oughta shove my boot up their ass." snarled a angry voice from the left head.

"For the last time Max we are not eating the damn ponies!" the right head retorted to his conjoined partner.

The hygon looked up toward me as I also stood up.I looked behind them to see Crash and Burn cowering in fear. They've probably pissed themselves already. The heads stare at me with a little surprise and confusion in their eyes.One of the heads looks back toward the brother as the other kept his eyes on me.

"You two," both brothers looked up at his head "is this the bugbear thing you were talking about?"

Both brothers shook their heads yes and the head turned toward me. I pull out my crossbow just in case this gets hairy fast.

"Maybe we should talk to it before we try and kill it."

"Nope, kill first, questions later!" the left head lunged at me.

I quickly raised my metal arm to defend, the hygon's head bit down on my arm chipping on of his teeth. As he brought his head back to his body I leveled my crossbow and shouted "Ignum!" a bolt of fire appeared on the crossbow fully strung up as last time. I guess it's finished recharging from yesterday. I released the bolt and it hit directly against the creature. Instead of the monster going up in flames, the bolt rebounded off of him and shot through my new hat narrowly missing my head. I take off the hat to inspect the damages, there was now a hole in the hat slowly growing larger as the fire grew. My hat fell to the ground as I turned back toward my opponent.

"You just done and fucked up son."

I begin my charge toward him. I bring back my fist and shove it straight into his chest. There was a small wait time when the fist connected with his body before it began to soar through the sky and into a building. It went through the wall and collapsed on to a store counter. Before it could rise I started towards it hoping to catch it with out defenses. It got up before I was even half way there. The head that had lunged at me looked to see my charge and shouted at his other head.

"Evan you dumbass do something! Nightmare said you could summon crap, so summon some crap on him!"

"I hold on I think I may have got it!"

I continued to run towards them but the whistle of air being cut by something falling got my attention. I stopped my charge in time, had I continued an anvil would have crushed my head in. A fucking anvil? I look up to see nothing but sky. Where the hell did this anvil come from?

"Damn it Evan you gotta aim it closer to him!"

"Shut up Max and let me concentrate!"

Again I hear the whistling of the air and narrowly dodged another anvil falling. More and more anvils kept falling from the sky, appearing out of thin air. I kept dodging but it put more distance toward the hygon. Screw this. I pick up one of the anvils with my arm and start rushing toward the head. I throw the anvil at the right who seemed to be focusing on something. As the anvil connected with his head another had connected with mine sending me into the ground.

"Hell yeah! Evan you got him! Evan?" the head looks to see his partner's head under a anvil.

"Get up you lazy ass!"

I extended my blade and cut the anvil off of my head. The world was spinning and spinning around like it was a rollercoaster going on the loop da loop. Slowly my senses came back to me. I began to hear the birds sing instead of ringing, instead of doubles of everything I saw only the single thing. The hygon seemed to be going through the same process. I stood up and began my march over to them. My blade still extended, slowly I made my way over to them to end this battle. Both heads looked up at me.

"We're sorry."

"Wait what?" This caught me totally off guard.

"My friend Max here was a bit over excited and attacked you with out reason."

The right head named Evan looked toward the left head named Max with a glare.

"Yah sorry and stuff..." grumbled the head in obvious disappointment.

I retracted my blade and grab their skulls in each of my hands. I moved their heads further from each other slowly, then smashed them together.

"That was for destroying my hat."

"I guess we deserved that," the heads regained their sense quickly, " May we ask if there are any important events happening soon?"

"There is the Grand Galloping Gala in about 5 days, other than that no."

"Thank you come on Max let's go."

As they began to walk away, I shouted,

"If I ever see you two again, I won't retract my blade!"

The hygon left and I walked back to the town square. Lucky no pony had seen me fight the hygon or I'd either be celebrated as a hero or forced to pay for the building we blew a hole through. The news that the hygon had left quickly moved along as I saw ponies walking around again. Celestia's sun began to set and I made my way to my alley and took a nice long rest from today's battle.
