The Tall prince
Chapter 5: Get Jinxed!
Previous Chapter Next ChapterPrax was chasing me down as I prepared to slenderwalk to Canterlot “Wait! Some Golems want to help!”
I looked to him and smiled at the sight of four golems following him “Do these Golems want to introduce themselves?”
The Golems nodded as Prax smiled “These are Grub, Trel, Menxa, and Steve.”
Grub saluted as he sparked and the others bowed “We wanna help the little ponies! Help good, yes?”
Bob nodded and smiled “Yep, helping is good.”
The Golems clapped as I grabbed them in my slendrils and took us over to Canterlot, ready to fight the lady of anarchy herself.
“Blarg, I hate that…” Taliyah said as she was holding her stomach and covering her mouth. “I think I’m going to be sick.”
Bob gasped and shoved Taliyah right as a large chunk of brick wall fell right where she was standing.
“Uggg, err, Thanks.” she said as she took deep breaths.
Bob saw that Jinx was nearby and yelled “HEY! SLUTTY DEMOLITIONIST! WATCH IT!”
“Who are you talking to?” a voice said. We all tur. and saw Jinx right behind him. Bob looked at her then at the spot where she was.
“HEY! I’m supposed to be the only one with pinkie physics right now! Give it back!”
“Alright, here you go.” she says as she tossed something to him. “Tootles.”
With that she started running away from us. I looked back and saw that Bob was holding a grenade with a what looks like a small bear trap on top, chomping at him.
I quickly used my slendril to grab the bear trap and crushed it as Bob unhinged his jaw and swallowed it whole, his gut distending as it blew up and him burping up a small cloud of smoke “That was… spicy!”
“Well, we both found and lost Jinx.” Taliyah said as she raised her hand as some of the buildings walls are repairing themselves. “And by the way she did things this is what I thought on when facing her.”
Bob thought a moment as he began formulating a plan, he then stopped “Wait, why does she have pinkie logic?”
“She’s from my world.” Taliyah said.
Bob looked at her with a frown, then smiled evilly “Next time we find her, I have an idea of how to piss her off, maybe get her to focus on us.”
“Right… we need to look around to see if there’s anyone to help. Now.” Taliyah said.
Bob nodded and gestured to me “He can see life forces, right? Well, let’s use him like a radar!” He then grabbed me and began spinning me around “Go high, look for life forces!” he then threw me high above Canterlot. I saw that most of the townspeople were hiding in the castle proper, currently protected by a golden yellow forcefield, but there were some people left behind in the marketplace, due east of our position.
Then… I started to fall. “GOD DAMNIT BOB!” I yelled. As I was falling I saw another group of lifeforms gathering around one other… then the group started to disappear, one by one. I then hear a mad laugh as the one went up into the sky as the sound of a explosive went off.
I then remembered Jinx’s tendency to use explosives and realised that Jinx had just killed some people, I lashed out a slendril at her, trying to grab her and managing to wrap one around her leg as she ascended towards me and threw her at Bob “HEADS UP BRO!”
I saw Jinx look at him and pulls out her rocket launcher, and points it to her side and fires. The rocket when to a building but the blast sent her into another. She used the force of the shot to change her direction of her fall. For someone crazy, she’s smart.
Bob yelled at the top of his lungs “PINKIE PIE IS AN UGLY LITTLE BITCH-CUNT WITH STANDARDS SO LOW SHE FUCKED HER DADDY!”
“Really? That’s it? I thought you had something better.” Jinx called out. As I fell beside Bob I didn’t hear her call out and thought she left the area.
“Really, that’s your plan?” Taliyah asked.
Bob nodded shrugging “It’s hard to insult my fav pony, cut me some slack.”
I sighed “Well, you could say she couldn’t party her was out of a wet paper bag, that she is so annoying she made her parents sell her to rock farmers, or even relate her to that Cupcakes Pinkie, oh wait, that’s EVERY pinkie, they are so fucking crazy that they’d make Jinx look sane, and may I say, her ‘party cannon’ is the lamest excuse for being a lazy little loser I’ve ever seen, I can’t believe she has any real friends, they probably just act nice because they are afraid she'd make them into a pastry.”
“You… have a really messed up mind, you know that right?” Taliyah said. She then went over to the corner of the building and looked over. “And I think you got Jinx wrong, she’s worse, so much worse.”
I shrugged “At least Jinx doesn’t eat people, hell, she’s actually pretty lame as far as LoL characters go, I mean, Teemo is better, he’d kick her ass any day of the week!~”
“That’s in game, this isn’t and this is why.” Taliyah said as she points over around the corner. We all walked over to see what she sees.
Bodies. Bodies of Canterlot soldiers were littered on the ground. I didn’t sense any life in them as one of them had holes in them.
“Think all you want, Jinx is insane and she’s worse than Eris. She does this just because she’s bored.” Taliyah said.
I let out my slendrils and growled angrily “She. Is. Dead. MEAT.” I held out my hand to Bob as I entered my armored form “Mask, NOW!”
Bob looked concernedly to me “Umm, we’ve never fused with you at full power already, I don’t know-”
I held out my hand and opened my mouth, my shark teeth blacker than ever, with black, tar like drool leaving my mouth “NOW, BOB!”
Bob nodded and went into his mask form as I put him on, my body becoming encased in wood as My clothing shifted.
“Whoa, whoa whoa, hold up there Greg. You need to calm down!” Taliyah said.
I shook my head as I growled, my sword becoming a large druidic staff and my hands turning to claws “She killed innocent people, who’s jobs it was to protect the people, I will not kill her, but she MUST be stopped, and she MUST suffer for her crimes.”
“I understand that but again this is Jinx for my world, she’s related to Pinkie and can do what she can do and then some and if the lore is the same she’s hard to catch.” Taliyah said. Another explosion went off as we all turned to see it came from the dome.
“Do you know the lore of those I was displaced as?”
“No, but-” Taliyah didn’t get to finish as I slenderwalked to the dome. I saw a group of robots that were bright pink and blue walking up to the dome and blowing themselves up. I looked around and saw Jinx on a building watching this.
I slammed my staff on the ground as slendrils ripped up the ground, grabbing the robots and pulling them apart before absorbing the explosives “Jinx, I will give you one chance before I make this painful for you, AND Pinkie. Give, up.”
She looked over at me for a moment then back at the dome. She seemed… bored. I slenderwalked behind her, she turned to me.
“Hey there spooky, love the look the green brings out your eyes.” she said.
I grabbed her by the throat with my slendrils and slammed her on the ground “I am not giving you another warning, do you yield?”
“Jeez, what biting you in the butt?”
I snarled “You killed innocent people with your ‘fun’! Because of you, there are families without parents, children who will never see their mothers and fathers again! And you feel no remorse for this?! I cannot believe that someone related to Pinkie, who exists to make others smile, would do something so despicable! How can you look her in the eye?!”
“You asking me how I can look her in the eye, well here’s your answer, I can’t.” she said. She nodded over in a random direction. “I know my actions caused will do those things but that’s my nature, and even so it’s just who I am, also I didn’t kill them on purpose, I was defending myself spooky.”
I growled again “Then you hit them, learn self defence techniques if these events are common! You do NOT fight back with a gun! These ponies are scared of us, they are afraid of what we can do, I have been building my kingdom for weeks now, waiting until we were presentable enough, and the ponies were calm enough for our kingdoms to meet! And you ruined it!”
“I have one question for you, do these self defence techniques help with stopping oh I don’t know, SOME PONY THAT WAS TRYING TO EAT MY FACE! Which I don’t like since I like my face, it’s where my mouth and eyes are, and nose. I like my nose.”
I stared at her for a moment before Bob spoke to me. “Am I hearing her right? Did she say one of them tried to eat her?”
“Yes, voice in spooky's head, they were.” she rolled her eyes at me. “Do you really think I would just go and kill random ponies for the hell of it?” Jinx asked.
I nodded “Yes. I do.”
“Okay, first off that’s just rude for thinking that, would it be nice if I saw you and thought you were going to kill others by your look? For me no not really, mostly that I really don’t care. If you know why are I’m here it’s because I was just going to blow some buildings up and stir some stuff up since this place reminds me of Piltover, and it was Sooooo~ boring, I wasn’t going to go and kill anyone, injure someone? Well yeah but not kill, if you asked me a couple years ago then yeah I would but now? No, not really.” she said.
I sighed “Okay, for some reason, I believe you, also, I’m sorry my brother and I insulted Pinkie, it was just an attempt to get you to focus on us instead of the city.”
“Oh… can you do one thing for me, let me see your brother.” she asked.
I pulled out a picture of him “Here you go, that’s most of what I will do at the moment, as I am pretty sure you are rather mad at him.”
She looked at this and drops the picture, then slipped through my slendrils, I backed away but she grabbed me, opened my mouth and put and one end of her rocket launcher in my mouth.
“Now, mutter a sorry for insulting my little angel before I give you a new hole!” she said.
Bob took over my arms and made me grab the rocket launcher, making me swallow it whole “Ok, I’m sorry for lying about Pinkie, I actually wish we were about a thousand years later, so I could say hi at least, maybe even go pranking with her, maybe I could get Greg to move us to the future…”
I spat out the rocket launcher and ripped him off “Really? That was totally nasty! We have no idea where that’s been!”
“A car wash.” Jinx said. “What? Even though Fishbones is a pain I do take care of him.”
I nodded “I feel the same for my brother… hey, now that I think about it, the power boost the tree gives should allow me to do what you asked Bob, you wanna come with, Jinx? Meet another Pinkie? There isn’t much we can do here, at the moment.”
“Err, in moment you will, like your friend is right about to come surfing on a rock board yelling something about zombies.” Jinx said. Literally a second later I saw Taliyah coming down the street of a rock surfboard.
“ZOMBIES, ZOMBIES, ZOMBIES, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” She yelled.
“Told you.” Jinx said.
Bob looked to me as I held him by the face “Can you let me go?”
I nodded and released him as I looked to Jinx “Oh, and if you ever find my kingdom, DON’T BLOW IT UP!” I pointed at her strictly “If you want, I’ll spar with you, maybe even have Prax join in, but for now let’s deal with-”
“ZOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMBIIIIIIIEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!” Taliyah was still screaming.
“That.” I said
“Right, err about your kingdom, it’s kinda hard to miss for the GIANT TREE OVER THERE!” she said as she points. I looked and sure enough there was the World tree.
“Wow, it’s really big even from here!” Bob said.
“Yeah… now if you would mind and not peek.” Jinx said as she pulls a curtain around herself. I heard the sounds of zippers and clips going on as the curtain fell.
“It’s zombie slaying time!” she said with a mad grin. She looked at Bob and winks at him. “Come on cutie~!” she said as she jump off the building.
Bob
Shrugged and leapt off as well, faceplanting on the ground before pulling himself up and shaking himself off. “Sooo… You think I’m Cute now? That’s a first.”
“What?My favorite colour is green, it works.” she said as she opened fire at a group of zombies. “Hope you can keep up~.”
I smiled and pulled out an unrealistically destructive gun and began to sing “AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!”
I started to mow down zombie after zombie, missiles flying off of the gun as I lit the zombies on fire “I AM BECOME DEATH! AHAHAHAH!”
Jinx was doing the same, though she was laughing like a mad woman. “AHAHAHHAHAHAH! DIE DIE DIE DIE!!!!!!”
I chuckled as I continued firing. As I did I noticed something above me, I looked and saw… text boxes?
[Really? The ‘merica weapon?]
[Fucking Hell Yeah! How else will he cartoonishly match Jinx? Ooh~, look what’s happening now!]
[Right, cool and all but by the look of it, it takes a lot of ammo.]
[So?]
I grabbed my gun, deciding to ignore the text boxes and resumed firing at the zombies, laughing maniacally as I mowed down the mob of brain eaters.
Greg was slenderwalking behind us in his armored state, keeping any zombie smart enough to sneak up behind us away by slicing them in half vertically. “I got your back, brother!”
I smiled as the two of us reduces the numbers. These zombies looked like normal zombies but they had some sort of black tar coming out of their mouths, also there clothes and armor looked different, like some really old and others not so old but still old. Come to think of it before Greg and me went off to find Jinx after seeing the others they did have the same old clothes and armor.
“Hey I don’t think Jinx killed any innocents.” I said as I made three Zombies heads explode.
Greg nodded “I think so too, the Zombies look like the bodies we found before, now… the only person beside that thing that made me that oozes black shit out their eyes and mouth is… oh shit!”
“HEEEEELLLLPPP!” I heard someone yell. I turn to see Taliyah surrounded by the zombies. They all jumped on her making a zombie dog pile. I turned my gun to the pile before it exploded. In the middle was Taliyah holding her knife as some sort of electric energy was coming off it and up her arm.
I smiled and looked to Taliyah and flashed a thumbs up “Be the blade, dance with the blade!”
“What!? Uhhh sure? I guess.” she yelled as more came at her. She made the ground launch spikes at them as they got closer. Greg went over to help her as I mowed down some more. This continued as they kept coming until I felt something bump into me.
“Hey there greeny, how’s it going.” Jinx said as if it was a normal day.
I smiled a toothy grin “It’s going good, just about hammer time, I think!”
I then swallowed my gun and spat out a pair of giant mallets “Heehaha!”
“Well that does sound fun but, oh hold on.” she pulled out her rocket launcher and fired a few times into the crowed. “I had an idea.”
I looked to Greg as he began to freak out while attacking every Zombie that got near him like a feral beast. “GET AWAY FROM ME, HE AIN’T GETTING ME!”
One of the zombies… smiled? Before Greg sliced his head in half. I looked to Jinx “Any idea would help, if it stops these zombies, I never paid attention to Greg's lore, so I don’t know what is scaring him so much, but it’s related to them!”
“Well you two seemed powerful when together right? But right now he’s… well that so,” she turned and flashed me a grin. “Why not try that with me?”
I shrugged “Okay, sure! Just know, when we fuse, I’ll see what you think… so… don’t think what you don’t want me to see.” I then turned into a mask after grabbing her hand, safely in her hands. I saw her make a mad grin.
“Oooo this is going to be good~!” she said before she puts me on. I then saw what she saw and… whoa, why is everything look like it’s in pyrovision? She then went in front of a large group of zombies and smiled.
“SAY HELLO TO MY FRIENDS OF VARIANT SIZES!!!!” she yelled as she pulls out her minigun and her rocket launcher and went went to town on them. She was laughing mad as she mowed them down and I saw that she was going faster. I started to laugh to until I felt a pull from somewhere. I felt the pull as it came from in her head, before I could do anything my vision went dark.
I came to and saw I was standing in a dark void, nothing around me as far as the eye could see “Hello?” I looked around and saw nothing, I shrugged and picked a direction before walking, eventually coming upon a door marked ‘Jinx only, keep OUT!’
I looked at the door and thought about it until I heard voices from inside. I went to put my ear to the door but it opened and I fell in.
“Why are you arguing with me, we have a good life on the farm!” a female voice said. I looked up to see two mares standing in front of me. One was a younger Jinx while the other was a light gray fur with opal coloured mane and light blue eyes.
“Why? Because it’s BORING there! All you do is break rocks and that’s it.” Jinx said. Crossing her arms. “Back in Piltover there was more fun stuff to do.”
“What, you mean being a criminal, Jinx I don’t want to live that kind of life, at the farm we have a place to sleep, to eat, to be safe.” the other one said.
“Oh? Do you also mean that you want to stay because of your coltfriend? What was his name? Something Rock?” Jinx asked.
“Igneous, it’s Igneous.” the mare said.
“Whatever Quartz, look I don’t know about you but I don’t want to stay on a stupid farm with some stupid rocks and some big stupid rock that says what colt is going to be my husband.” she takes a deep breath and picked up a bag. “I’m going back, I was going to ask you to come with but now I know what you’re going to say.”
Without a word Jinx turned and left the mare behind. The scene changed to one that I was following the mare from before, Quartz I guess, she seemed a bit older. I looked around and saw that she was in a big city that was ahead in times, I guess it’s Piltover. She was humming to herself as she moved down the streets. She turned the corner and ran into someone.
“Hey! Watch where you’re- oh…” the mare looked up at the one who ran into her.
“Jinx? Is that you?!” Quartz asked.
“Err… yeah, how is it going sis?” Jinx asked. The scene changed again and now they are in a cafe. Jinx was holding some pictures in front of her.
“So… you named them Maud Pie and Limestone Pie? Why the Pie?” Jinx asked.
“Well Igneous last name is Pie so it fits. I wished you could come and visit.” Quartz said. I got the idea that this was Pinkies mom with the names of the other two.
“Yeah that would be cool.” Jinx paused for a moment and looked at her sister. “Hey, can I tell you something?”
Quartz blinked at her and smiled. “My, is Jinx, my sister, being serious right now?”
“Sis come on I’m serious right-”
“Oh this must me a monumental day! I thought you’d never be serious for once in your life.”
“Quartz…”
“Oh I wish I had my camera, oh why did I leave it? I could tape this and-”
“I’m having a kid.” Jinx bluntly said. This shut Quartz up as my mouth opened. What?! I didn’t think Jinx could even have a kid, what with all the explosives she uses and guns she fires, I thought the constant adrenaline rush would fry her… baby parts.
“You… your pregnant? How!?!” Quartz asked.
“What do you think? I slept with someone without protection when I was drunk and then I found out about it an hour ago.” Jinx explained.
“But… I thought you couldn’t, with what you do and everything, and if you continue-” Quartz stopped when Jinx shook her head.
“The gang I was in, well they're behind bars since Top hat lady bagged them with the help of Fathands, odd that going to throw up helped me get away.” Jinx said.
“What are you going to do?” Quartz said.
“I don’t know, I can’t go to the hospital to get rid of it,” this made Quartz frown but Jinx continued. “But if I do they would find out that I was in the gang that was arrested and if I get out to find a place farther away from here it would be too late, so I’m stuck with a kid.”
Quartz stayed quiet for some time until she grabbed her arm. “Come with me.”
“What?” Jinx asked as she blinks at her.
“To the farm, there you can have your kid and it’s outside of this places eye. It’s perfect.” she said.
Jinx stared at her and started laughing. “Oh lord you're funny looking when you do that. Well since I don’t have much of a choice now do I?”
“Not really no.” Quartz said.
“Alright sis I’ll come with.” Jinx said. The two of them stood up and started to head out.
“So… thought of any names?” Quartz said. Jinx thought about it.
“For a boys name, no but…” she looked at her sister and raised a pinkie. “How about Pinkie?”
I saw that my vision cleared and saw that there was a lot of dead zombies on the ground.
“Yo~ Bob you there? You went quiet for a few.” Jinx said.
I nodded mentally and smiled “I’m good… yeah… just… don’t think about me for the moment, okay? Something’s up…”
“Really, what did you see? I saw somethings that… even I have to question. I didn’t know you have a sister? She’s funny looking.” Jinx said.
I winced “You saw my memories, huh? Don’t… don’t tell Greg what you saw, okay? He… he doesn’t need to go through that again…”
“Right, so if I saw your memoires that means you saw mine right?” Jinx asked.
I sighed “y-yeah… I did, I’m sorry.”
“Sorry? What are you sorry for? I did pretty bad things in the past and, at the time, I enjoyed it. So what did you see? Me blowing up some buildings, or me fighting Fathands or-”
“I saw you and Quartz talk about Pinkie… You would of been a great mom, better than mine, at least...”
Jinx went silent at that. In a blur we were on top of a building as Jinx was trying to pull me off. She took me off and tossed me on the ground. I reverted back into my body as I looked at her.
“You… you saw that?” she asked. I nodded.
“Yeah.” I answered. She started to pace a bit, I know Jinx from the game and I knew that she was an insane nut job that blows stuff up, but now… I don't know.
“I’m not a good mom, after what I did I can’t be.” she said.
“Come on, you saw my memories, so out of them you are the better-”
“At least you saw them, you know what they look like, for them… they don't know, well they do know me but not the whole mom part.” she shook her head a bit. “If anyone saw me like this they would say I'm out of character.”
I looked angrily to her “You saw, you know what they did to us, you know why I’m always cracking jokes, why Greg is always so grown up about stuff! You KNOW you are better than them, yes, we saw them, but we were scared every day of our lives that this would be the day that they went too far and killed one of us! You actually care about your kids, you want to see them happy, and successful! I was lucky if they didn’t use me or my siblings as an ashtray! So don’t. You freaking. Tell me. That you are a bad mom! You cared enough to know that you could not offer a safe place for them to grow up, and you gave them to someone who could… you are, a wonderful mother.”
Jinx stared at me for a second and put a finger on my head to push me back. “Thanks for the emotional speech and all but I don’t know about you but normal moms don’t go on a killing spree with a bat because someone didn’t give them their hot dog.”
“That’s not- wait you eat hot dogs?”
“Yes, some of us do it’s like you and corn, we just don’t digest it well.”
I stared at her. “You’re crazy, and that’s a lot coming from me.”
“I do have a doctor's note.” Jinx said. She walks over to the ledge of the building and looked down. “Okay right now this place is overrun with zombies and the fact that they are still coming is bad. You know what we have to do?”
Greg sighed “Eeyup, but first…” I hugged Jinx and smiled “LIFE GOAL REACHED! CAN DIE HAPPY NOW!”
“What? Uhhh you’re welcome.”
I smiled even wider “Oh, and… this is not my craziest.” I gestured to my ring “This magical doohickey is keeping me sane-ish.” I then noticed that cracks were forming in the ring as it shattered and my eyes widened “Well shit…”
“Oh well, that’s a thing. Now if you don’t mind I want to see why there are zombies.” Jinx said as she pulls a fishing line out of nowhere. She then cast the line out and waited.
My eyes start twitching as I smile in a deranged manner “It’s Party time…” I began to spin like Taz again, this time only parts of me spinning as the insanity spread like a poison “P. A. R.T. WHY?!” I looked to my hands “BECAUSE I GOTTA!”
I looked up to see... that Jinx was gone. Where did she go? I think I heard her scream or maybe that was someone else. Anyway it’s PARTY TIME! I pulled out my mallets again and leapt down to the zombies, spinning so fast that I was literally forming a tornado and sucking up the zombies only for me to pulverize them “ HAMMERTIME AIN’T GOT NOTHIN ON ME!”
I then began to feel something tug at my head, something… familiar… ‘No… don’t! Help Jinx!’
I shuddered as I looked around “Who’s talking?”
My eyes eventually fell on Elder Oak and the voice grew stronger “You must help jinx, she needs your help!” The voice said, it sounded female. I felt the shards of my ring that had become submerged in my hand come free and merge with some vines that had leapt out of the ground and onto my finger, forming a new ring “Go now, help her!”
I zoomed down to the street to try to find Jinx. As I looked I ran into a group of zombies which I took care of with my amazing kung fu skills...okay I just chucked some explosives, so sue me! I don’t know kung fu!
“Jinx!” I yelled out as I turned one of the zombies into a zombie with TnT and pushed him or her, can’t tell since it didn’t have a face, into a group of more zombies and exploded. As I looked there was another explosion, out of the smoke was Jinx but…
Jinx was riding a zombie horse with a rainbow afro with the words ‘Jinx was here!’ on the side with a lollypop in it’s mouth. Jinx was wearing sunglasses as in one hand she had Fishbones and in the other a bloody toilet plunger. Behind her on the horse was two of the golem monkeys, with shotguns and sunglasses. One of them, Grub I think, judging from the sparks coming off of him, had a cigar in it’s mouth as the three of them came towards me.
“Sup” Jinx said to me.
I pointed upwards “The Sky, my mood since finding you, and… let’s see, oh yeah! The general number of the zombie population!” I then looked to Grub “Where are the other two?”
Grub looked down “Blew up by Zombie attackers… couldn’t get them away, wanted to take them with em…”
I nodded “They shall be remembered,” I then looked to Jinx “So… did you find out who is making the zombies?”
“Yes! No! Maybe? I don’t know, as I was pulled off the building by this zombie horse, which is odd since there’s a horse at all, I had to fight a large group of zombies where I found the two monkeys and watch two light rise up from the ground and went to that large tree, we fought more zombies until we found sunglasses, because you need sunglasses to fight zombies, and one of them was saying ‘ZALGO!!!’ and ‘HE COMES’ and something about pineapple and all of this happen in a time span of three minutes.” Jinx explained.
I nodded thoughtfully until she mentioned Zalgo and I think I paled “Holy shit… the embodiment of corruption is here? That…. Actually explains the zombies, they are people corrupted by his power.”
I then saw Greg appear behind Jinx and smiled nervously “Ummm…. Hi bro! You figure out who’s doing this?”
Greg nodded “It’s Zalgo, We need to cover this place in Slenderman marks, NOW! He avoids places under my power, as we are supposed to be mortal enemies, Normally a Slendersapien wouldn’t go anywhere near his domain, so we need to act NOW while we still can!”
“Does that mean we’re fighting an embodiment of corruption? If so that would be great since I found this cool rocket mallet in a dumpster in working order that I really want to try out.” Jinx said with a grin.
Greg nodded “Yeah, we are, but… keep your distance from him, he can corrupt those who get too close, only Slendersapiens and their proxies are immune to his influence.” He then gestured to me “I am pretty sure he counts as a Proxy, as my power has mixed with his.”
“Right… also where’s Taliyah?” I asked.
Over at where Taliyah is
“Why am I being ignored right now?” Taliyah asked as ten of the zombies got impaled with earth spikes. “And where is everyone?”
back at the others, also Greg PoV
“Ahhh I think she’s fine.” Jinx said to us.
I nodded and looked to Bob “You remember what the Slendermarkings look like?”
Bob nodded “eeyup, exed out circle, pretty easy to remember.”
I looked to the two remaining Monkey Golems and smiled as I took out some spray cans I had taken from the local stores on my way to them “You hear that? Exed out circled, paint em everywhere!”
I looked to Jinx and nodded “You ready for a fight? He won’t take lightly to us taking his territory.”
“Who do you think you’re talking to.” Jinx said as she rides off on her zombie horse. On the way she leans over and grabs a cowboy hat from a zombie and smacks it with a toilet plunger.
“Is she really going to fight zombies with a toilet plunger?” I asked.
“Eeyup.” Bob said.
“She's more crazy than in game.” I said out loud.
“Well she's related to Pinkie.” Bob said. I nodded a bit as a memory came up.
“Yeah, she's her aunt after all.” I said. Bob glanced over at me then nodded.
Bob then snagged some spray cans and took off as I began to prepare for a fight that I knew was coming soon. “This… is going to suck.”
I then grabbed a spray can and began slenderwalking all over the kingdom, spray painting on any surface left unpainted I could find. Eventually hearing a massive rumble as I heard a voice loud and clear in my head, it was dark, evil… corrupted. ‘Wh̢͖͈̹̫̳̟̣o̞̙̻ ̮̫͙͖̣͡d̖̜͍̟̦̕a̫̕r͈͝e͞s̮͈̮̜̳̱͠ ̡͔̭̩̺͈i͓̫͈n̞̺̮͍̫͞t̞e͓̬̬̱̠̤͠r̭̰̟͚̬̣̗͟f̤̮̬̙̜e̜͙̞͡ṛ͍̞̻̩̫̪ę ̢̲̟͕͉i̴͉̻͎͇̯̘̼n͏̦̝̯ ̬̙̙̙̰̳m̲̖y̸͕͇̤̹ͅ ̤̝́i̶͎̲ͅn̺̰̜̦͔͈v͚͎͍̘̮a͍s̴i͝o̰̺̳͎̥̲̙n̮͕̠͕̺̠͢?̢̣’
I sighed ‘here we go…’ I smiled as I grabbed my sword and readied it “I do! I am a slendersapien, and this world is my domain! You are not welcome here, corrupter!”
I felt the force in my mind laugh ‘I̵̥͖̼͎͔̝ c̹a̷̝̝r̟͕͕̮̙͘e̘̣͚ ̢̠̙n͕͓̗oͅt͏̪͈̞͖̪̥̠ ̺f̡͎͓̫͎o͞r͢ ̮̗y͕o̝͞u͈̬͞r̥ ͖͕̙̰ͅw͙̹͓e̲͔̳͇l͈͢c̱̹͜ó̯̦m̢̺̻͎̩e̴̳̬͓,̵ ̶͍̺̬̱c̬̣͜u̱͚̪̘ŗ͇͉͉̜,͉̰̳̜͚ ̝̠̫̱͖ͅI҉̤̥̥ ̴͇̞̝a̫̭͔ṃ͙͈̜ ̪̲̞̱͕͠Za̜̠̱̩̝̺̹͞ḷ̬͎̫̕g̶o̴,͘ ͔̯̲̯͍͈̹a̛̝̬͖̱̙ͅn̜̮͖͍̖̳͝d̻͔̻͘ n̬͖̣̯ǫ̤̙̘̦̼n͉̯̬̦͟e̴͕̦ ̟̼̖͔ṃ̷̫̜̹̼̠a̳͕̣̹͘y̜ ̫̙͔̻̫̺o҉̝̼̮p̣͕̰ṕ̥͕͇̟̰o͓̻͕̣̩̺s͙e͖͕̱̯̣̙ ͎͠m͎͢e̺͇͓̱!̵̖͎͉̣̺’
I felt the rumbling get more intense as I heard a loud groan behind me and turned around to see a massive zombie, only for it to be condensed into an orb of flesh and fly away “What are you doing, Zalgo? I know you are not fleeing just because of a few slender marks!”
‘I̜̠͚ a͍͘m̼͙͚ ̢̣̖͓̞̮̫̜s͙̯̥̼i̯̣̭̳̼͓m̦̹̻͖̘p̪͈͕̱͈̞͖l̹̜̖̦͇y̬̞̘̺̞͇̘.̝͍̯̰̝̲.̗̙͞.̖͎̘͍͠ ̩̱̜̤͚͓u̷͇p̩p̢̞͈̬̝̦͍͚i̪̼n̨͉̖g̹̦͓͖̯͎͇ ̷͖̹̻̟̖̩t͍̬͘h̭͈e̡̙ ͙̟͓̱̭̩̻͞a͖͖͔͔̪n̘̹̝͉̙̣t̴͕e͕̣͢.’ he laughed again, anger rising inside me at his mocking tone
I growled as I slenderwalked to a rooftop and looked at where the Zombie was going, only to be struck with abject horror. “What in the Elder Oaks name?!”
‘L͚͖̪̣͈̦͜e͍̫͕̳͉̳͈t ̙̣̻̤u̶̲̙̘̙s͏̬ ͖̞͇s͎̟̠͘e҉͈̳͖̲̘͕̺ḙ ҉h͙͕o͘w̨̟ ͖̦̮͍̠̦͈y͖͜o͍͖̠u̹̮̲̠͇͢ ̡͙̦̬̗̥h̺͉̟a̬̗͍n̷̺͓d̺̰l͇͍e ̻̰͈͖t͖̦͜h̴͔̹̲i̤̟͎̳̫͈͘s̼̼̱̯̞̹ͅ!̼͙̱͔̭’ All of the zombies... they were combining their body mass, even the ones we had killed were being absorbed into this new body… and what they were forming was monstrous!
“Greg!” I heard Taliyah yell out for me. I turned to see where she was coming from. “You alright, the zombies are delt- what the living hell is that!”
Bob was the next to appear, accompanied by Jinx and the monkey Golems as he looked to the gargantuan Zalgoid monstrosity “What the fuuuuuuu….”
I growled “This is the fate of those who deal with Zalgo, they become monsters that have no more free will than a puppet… This, is Zalgo's master stroke.”
“Can it get hit?” Jinx asked.
I nodded “Yes, but don’t touch it, else it’s corruption may claim you, try to fight it from a distance, only me and Bob can safely fight up close.”
Bob smiled at Jinx “How does Fishbones feel about fighting a Zalgoid flesh Golem?”
“Fishbones would love to get his teeth on it.” she said with a smile. “Also Mr.Slam as well.”
I sighed “If you are going to fight him up close, I suppose I can infuse you with my power for a bit, but… I don’t like the idea.”
I looked up to see her gone, I looked over to the building as she was climbing it to get higher ground. She was almost up to the top and turned at us.
“What are you three standing around for? It’s zombie slaying time!” she yelled at us.
I shrugged, offering a silent prayer that she would heed my warning as I held my hand out to Bob “You ready to rumble, brother?”
Bob nodded “I wouldn’t be me otherwise.” he then became a mask as I entered my armored state and put him on, drawing out my staff “Let it begin!”
I rammed my staff into the ground and coated the shield around the castle in a layer of plant life “Well said!”
The first thing I saw was the earth burst up from the ground. It hit the golem square in the chest. It stumbled a bit as I heard a grunt from Taliyah.
“Yup, he’s more solid than he looks.” she said.
I nodded as the Golem then looked angrily at us, slowly raising a fist to strike us as I slenderwalked us behind him, to the dismay of Taliyah, and fired a massive burst of green static at him “Thank god he’s slow!” The Golem groaned as the static burned his flesh, only for it to be shook off as the Golem growled at us. I looked behind him at where he struck and the once skyscraping building was now a heap of rubble.
The Golem looked at us and started raising it’s fist again but some explosions went off at it’s head. Jinx fired rocket after rocket at it.
“BOOM! AHAHAHAHA!” Jinx yelled. The golem looked at her and swung it’s arm at her. “Ahhh crab cakes.” she said before running off the roof to another, dodging the arm.
It was then that I noticed that it had a glow emanating from the orbs on it’s shoulders, I focused a blast at one of these orbs and saw that it visibly shuddered with pain as the green static fire burned. “EVERYONE FOCUS ON THE ORBS! THEY LOOK IMPORTANT!”
The Golem turned to me and spat something in my general direction, dear god it was spitting orbz of necrotic flesh! I grabbed Taliyah again and leapt back as the orb connected with where we were, only to unfold into a hulking Zombie! “Taliyah, can you intercept anything he spits at us with an earth spike?”
“Roger!” she yelled as she slammed her fist onto the ground. The ground shook as a large number of earth spikes tore into the zombie.
I then saw that the Monkey Golems were up to something, I saw that they had gotten a catapult from somewhere and were loading it up with… oh my god they are loading it up with dynamite! Grub flashed a thumbs up at me before leaping up at the lever and pulling it, launching it at it’s center mass as the Dynamite laced boulder embedded itself into its body “Grub says it’s boomtime!” he then launched a fireball spell at the Boulder and caused it to explode! Causing a massive hole to form in the Golems center!
“Oooo that's gotta hurt… I LOVE IT!” Jinx yelled. She dropped down beside them and hands them a cartoonish bomb with a skull and crossbones on it. “Try this next!”
Grub nodded and re prepped the Catapault, launching the boulder sized bomb at the golem. The golem then ate the bomb and we waited for a moment… then waited… waiting… uhhh…
“HEY! The thing didn’t go off! Lame, well there’s one thing to do.” she said as she re-prepped the catapult and jumped on it. She then pulled an army's hat and a sword. “FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!”
Before I could do anything she was launched towards the golem yelling ‘WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!’ aaaaand the golem ate her. We stared at the golem for a few minutes.
“She’s crazy.” Taliyah said.
Bob was screaming in my head “NOOOOO! JINX, THINK ABOUT PINKIE! SHE NEEDS YOU! WHY?! WHY!? WHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHY?!”
I held onto my head as he screamed in it, this is worse than a headache!
“Okay… I’m not much of a zombie expert but uhh that’s not normal.” Taliyah said as she points at the golem. Said golem started to grumble a bit and shake. I could hear small explosives go off as a hole opened in it’s chest as something black and goopy jumped down. It landed, did a roll and stood up in a ‘Tadaaaaa!’ stance. The two golem monkeys and a zombie arm hold up signs with the numbers of 8.5, 9, and 9 up. The goo pile took some bows.
“Thank you, thank you, your all so kind~” it said in Jinx’s voice. She looked down at herself. “The spa people are going to hate me~!”
Bob leapt off of me and ran to Jinx, hugging her and crying “JINX! You are okay!”
“Wait oneeee moment.” she said as she looked back at the golem. She puts up her fingers as she counted down from three. When she hits zero some purple and black stuff came out of the golem and began to suck the golem into itself. It screamed out as it went into a portal that closed itself. Jinx looked at us. “Okay, now I’m good, knew that would come in handy other than a paper weight.”
Bob wiped the goop of of Jinx’s face with a towel and gave her a deep, passionate smooch “I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD! DON’T SCARE ME LIKE THAT EVER AGAIN!”
“Oi, no kissing, take me to a dinner and movie then we’ll talk.” she said with a frown.
“Wait,I have a few questions, one how aren’t you infected? You’re covered in the corruption and also what was that?” I said as I pointed at where the golem was.
“The first one is easy, I had this!” she said as she pulls out something from somewhere. It looked like some sort of cream. I took it and read the label.
“Zaun one hundred percent bug-be-gone cream?” I asked. If I had eyebrows they would be raised in a questioning way.
“Read the label on the back.” she said. I turned it and saw the label.
‘This cream can stop Anything from magic to tech, supernatural to mundane, and it really works on stopping the corruption from Cthulhu, shadow beasts, Zalgo, Slenderman, that thing under your bed, and your mom's old meatloaf. WARNING: Does not stop bugs.’ it said.
“WHY THE HELL IS IT CALLED BUG BE GONE CREAM THEN?!”
“Don’t know, I kept it since it had a funny name, who knew that it would come in handy.” Jinx said as she scraped the gunk off her. She frowned at this. “Also these clothes are dry clean only! I’m sending the bill to the guy who did this.”
I looked to her doubtfully “I sincerely doubt he’ll do shit diddly squat to please you.”
Bob then shyly looked to Jinx “C-could we go out on a date?”
I then smiled “However, Bob here would definitely dry clean those clothes for you, he used to work at a laundromat before he… errr… went green.”
“Cool!” she then looks at Bob. “I want a discount.”
Bob shrugs “I was going to do it for free, but since you are so sold on a discounted price, I’ll take ten bits.”
“Yay discount!” she yelled.
“Uhh can we go back to the fact of the bomb, what was that?” Taliyah asked.
“Oh that? That was a Void bomb.” Jinx said.
I nodded slowly “Okay… what exactly IS a void bomb?”
“A bomb that blows open a way into the void.” she said as she hit her head, some of the black gunk came out of her ear.
I shrugged “Good enough for me. So… Bob here,” I grabbed my brother “Has a thing for you, mayhaps you would consider going on a date with him? Also, if you want, I could have Prax open up a gate to your world, so you can freely come and go between these worlds.”
Bob flushed a deep crimson red as he slugged me in the gut “Hey, I wanted to ask her out!”
“Let’s talk about that a bit later, it seems we have company.” Jinx said. She pointed behind us and I saw some of the royal guard coming towards us with Celestia with them.
The guards raised their spears and held them at the ready “Halt!”
I looked to Celestia and folded my arms “Really, Celestia? You think two guards will stop us after we fought that giant monster and won?”
I stared at her as I started to hear some of the guards talking.
“It’s kind of weird that they show up when these zombies and robots came.”
“You think they brought them here?”
“It would make sense, we almost lost the shield to them, so…” they began to move around their princess as she looked at them.
“This isn’t good.” Taliyah said.
I then stepped forward and opened my mouth with my finger “I am the king of the Everfree forest, These people are under my protection. Now, unless you want to have a very soured relationship with the Everfree, I suggest you leave them alone.”
The guards looked at one another but didn’t move.
“Hmm, that didn’t work time for plan B!” Jinx said. Before I could ask she kicked both me and Bob away and grabbed Taliyah, pointing a gun at her. “NOBODY MOVE!”
“What the- what are you doing with threatening your partners?!” one of the guards said, Celestia eerily silent. Jinx just laughs.
“Partners? Ha! You think I would be partners with these clowns? I brought the zombies here and I got them to help me, I had the zombies and robots attack your so called shield, I’m Jinx, and you all,” she pushes Taliyah away as she pulls out a device and shot one of the guards with her zap gun. “Will see the fireworks.”
She pushed the button and the buildings around us began to explode. Jinx laughed maniacally and bolted towards them. She took a sharp turn right and ran down the street.
“After her!” one of them yelled. Most of the guards ran after her as I heard the distinct sound of her laughing.
I looked to Bob, who looked downcast as Celestia and her remaining guards surrounded us
“You alright? I never thought that… that she would do something like that to you three.” Celestia said. After a moment Taliyah spoke up.
“Yeah, YEAH! We're fine, thanks for getting her away from us she’s awful.” I looked at her as she made a gesture to me to play along.
I sighed “A girl like that is nothing but trouble, like my father said, ‘don’t associate with filth, lest you want to become filthy yourself.”
Bob looked to me and looked confused “But… that’s when dad wanted to avoid us…”
Celestia eyed us for a moment, narrowing her eyes. She then nodded.
“It doesn’t matter, I want to thank you for saving our city, I’m sorry that you had to deal with… her.” Celestia said.
I nodded “I have wanted to open trade routes between our kingdoms, would that be acceptable?”
Bob looked to me in shock, hurt and anger flashing in his eyes “How… how could you just brush her off like that?! She helped us fight that monster! She was the one who beat that thing! How COULD you take the credit for it all?!” He then pointed to Celestia “And you! Acting all high and mighty because-”
At this point Taliyah elbowed him in the stomach. “We need to talk to him for a moment, sorry about that.”
She then grabbed Bob's ear and drags him over to an alley way. I followed behind and saw that the guards were off trying to fix the place after the explosives.
“Okay, you are very dense you know that right?” Taliyah said.
Bob looked angrily to Taliyah “You are very cruel, you know that? She already is a criminal in one world, she deserves a safe place where she can just relax! This could have been that place!”
“That’s the point, she’s a criminal so that’s why she took all the blame from us.” Taliyah said. “That’s what she meant by plan B.”
Bob looked to Taliyah before curling up into the fetal position in a corner “Everyone needs a safe place… a place where they can smile with friends, laugh, grow…”
“You know you’re all funny to watch.” a voice said. We looked and the dumpster top opened and Jinx was there. “Hello again.”
Bob didn’t look up, seeming to be blocking out the world around him, grunting as he rocked back and forth, muttering “damn ponies… damn, damn, damn ponies…”
“What wrong with greeny?” Jinx asked as she climbed out of the dumpster.
“He’s… having trouble with the fact that now this place isn’t safe for you with what you just did.” Taliyah said. Jinx looked over at him and sighs, then walked over and grab him by the hair to make him look at her.
“I really don’t know why you’re getting bent outta shape about this, yes the guards hate me big woop I had whole armies chase after me, I’m used to it.” Jinx said.
I looked to Jinx and sighed “He can’t hear you, he’s totally withdrawn, he’s trying to get rid of all the stuff he is focusing on that’s stressing him out, think of it like a body trying to purge its system when it’s sick.” I pointed a thumb at him “He got… really messed up by our parents, so when something messes with his head, he holds on to that baggage, and I bet that he has been holding onto all of this pretty long now, you getting made into the bad guy when you were actually innocent seems to just, well, be the last straw.”
I looked over and saw that Jinx wasn’t listening to me as she picked Bob up and shook him like a rag-doll.
“Greeny! Snap out of it! You still owe me a movie and dinner!” she yelled at him as she kept shaking him.
I tapped Jinx on the shoulder “You really don’t want to do that, he’s literally letting loose all the stress he has accumulated since coming to this world and being given these new powers…” Bob was shaking even without Jinx’s help, shuddering as he got up and paced, flapping his hands and muttering under his breath “Don’t worry, he’s almost done.”
Jinx looked at him and then grab him again and started to shake him some more.
“What are you doing?” Taliyah asked.
“Shaking him, it’s fun to shake people.” she said with a smile.
Bob’s eyes, which were unfocused and dark, seemed to almost flare to life again “Wha...What… oh shit…” he looked to me and then to Jinx, who was still shaking him. “I... I’m sorry for losing my cool.”
“Shut up and let me shake you, it’s still funny.” Jinx said as she continued to shake him.
I looked to Jinx and shrugged as I looked to Taliyah “So… should we go to Celestia and explain our situation as Displaced? Also, would you like Praximus to make a gateway to your world?”
“What’s with you and gateways? All I know is that all you need is a token to call on others.” Taliyah said as Jinx dropped Bob on to the ground as his eyes were scrambled.
I smiled “Well, tokens, from what I understand, require a Displaced to pass through. If we open another Gateway, then we can freely travel to and from your world, we already have the technology developed to do this, and are already linked to Jace's world.”
“Hmmm, I don’t think making a portal between worlds is a good idea, in my world they know that there’s others out there and the ones they have already met are… not friendly. Besides, whatever my brother does is his doing.”
“Wait, your brother?” Bob asked after he stopped his eyes from spinning. “Jace is your brother?”
“Yeah? Is there a problem with that?” Taliyah asked.
“Uhh no… Greg can I talk to you for a second.” Bob asked. We both walked down the alley away from the other two to talk. “Taliyah and Jace are siblings?”
“Yeah, didn’t I tell you that?” I asked him.
“No! You didn’t say anything about the guy, who probably has a flipping army of who knows what that can come here and wreck the place without trying, is the older brother of her.” Bob started to pace. “What if he finds out that I gave her a drink that made her do things without knowing??”
“I think you’re freaking out over nothing bob.” I told him.
“Hey, you remember when that one guy kept bullying me until he gave me a black eye, you lost it and that was when we didn’t have powers!” Bob said.
I nodded and frowned before looking to Taliyah “You think Jace would hurt you? I know he can be protective, but that’s a bit of a stretch if we just man up and tell him what happened.” I then smiled and grabbed him by the shoulders in a reassuring manner “It will all work out in the end, you’ll see.”
“Oi, you two done over there?” Taliyah calls out to us.
I nodded and walked over to Taliyah and Jinx “Now, may I recommend that you two date back at the Faewood, or as you ponies call it, the Everfree? I think I should open up trade relations with Canterlot, it would do our economy good.”
“I don’t know why you’re telling me this, since I just blow stuff up but I need to go so.” she pulled out fishbones and got on it. “See you on the flipside.” smoke came out of the rocket launcher. She looked around and then at Bob and tossed him some rope. “Hold on to this.”
Bob shrugged and wrapped the rope around his hand, gripping it tightly as he followed the rope with his eyes… and saw that it was attached to the launcher.
“ANNNNNDD LIFTOFF!!!!!!” Jinx yelled as she blasted off into the sky. Bob looked at me and blinked as he got yanked off the ground after her.
I shrugged and looked to Taliyah “You ready to talk to her royal fatness? Seriously, that butt could crush a steel girder.”
“Dude… you're trying to open up trade relations with this place, talking like that will get you kicked out in a hurry.” she deadpanned.
I shrugged “I just really dislike her, trying to get it all out of my system before I talk to her.” I then looked to Taliyah and smiled “By the way, how are things back home with you?”
“They’re… fine, have this test coming up soon which I have no idea what it’s on.” she said as we walked out of the alleyway. Only for a rather irritated Celestia to be standing there.
“Oh shit.” I tensed as I looked at her, her jaw was clenched, that was a bad sign.
“Crush a steel Girder, eh?” Celestia looked to me and I swore she was trying to eat my soul.
“You are so screwed~.” Taliyah said as she took a step back.
I looked at Celestia and shrugged “Well, I guess we are on equal ground now.”
Celestia looked to me in puzzlement “What?”
I nodded “I dislike you, for things you have yet to do and have already done, and you dislike me, for calling you fat.”
Celestia's eye twitched “I am not fat.”
I shrugged, my hands raised “Not to be mean, but do you even own a scale?”
“Annnnddd I’m out, it was good knowing ya.” Taliyah said as she quickly walked out of the alleyway.
I shrugged as she walked off “Anyway, I was going to ask if your kingdom wanted to open diplomatic relations, or even trade routes, buuuut I can see that you are about ready to strangle me for being so rude, so I’ll see myself out.”
The guards to my side bared their spears and aimed them square at me “How dare you insult the princess! Have you no decency?!”
I shook my head “Not for people who act as if they are superior to me when they are not.”
Celestia didn’t say anything. I thought she would probably yell at me or something but… she didn’t say anything. The guards looked at one another and slowly backed away from us.
“You, one who have saved my ponies from Eris’ control to which I’m grateful for, has also insulted me right to my face with no fear.” she said calmly.
I shrugged “You see the shit I see, pissing of a solar avatar isn’t that worrying, let’s just say night terrors and leave it at that.”
“Well,” she said with a smile. “I’ll think about what you said and get back to you, but for now.” she flicked her wrist at me. “Get out of my home.”
The scene shifted and I was in the air. I looked down and I saw I was leaving Canterlot fast. I looked up and saw the ground coming up really fast. I hit the ground and went for a few miles before I stopped. A few minutes later I heard footsteps.
“I warned ya.” Taliyah said.
I spat out some dirt and shrugged “I probably deserved that but hey, at least I won’t have to worry about all that formal bullcrap now with her, so I call that a win.”
“... You met someone who you wanted to be in an alliance with you or something... but you insulted her right in the face, did you get dropped on your head as a kid?” she asked me.
I winced at the memory of my parents “Let’s just say I had bad parents.” I then got up out of the hole I was in and sighed. “Also, it is a good thing Luna only oversees pony dreams.”
“I don’t know… she’s oversees dreams, it didn’t say just pony dreams.” she said.
I looked to her for a moment before sighing “Guess I’ll have to forgo sleep for awhile.”
“Why… do you have a thing for Luna?” she asked me as we headed on back.
I looked around uncomfortably “I… I don’t have that. Let’s just say my parents really fucked me up in the head… My brother and sister too.”
“Oh… sorry.” she said.
I looked to her and patted her back. “Thanks. I appreciate it.” I then saw the gates of the Capital and smiled “Home sweet home.”
“Yeah… so I have to ask, do you need me for anything else?” she asked me.
I shook my head “No, but… shouldn’t you wait until Jinx is back? I don’t think she’d appreciate being stuck here, and Bob’s probably having a good time with her.”
“I think she has her own way of getting back home, I did see a portal as the two went off.” she said.
I nodded and smiled “I guess you can go, eager to see Twily, eh?” She tensed up and looked around.
“Uhh…” was all she said.
I looked to her curiously “You’ve been getting antsy whenever twily comes up in conversation. Is something up?”
“No! No nothing is wrong, she’s fine, I’m fine, we are all fine.” she said while turning around. I saw her ears turned red.
I smiled evilly “You, my friend, are not only a terrible liar, but also have it bad.”
“Shut up!” she yelled. “Just send me back before I send you straight underground!”
I shrugged and opened a portal to Taliyaha home world “Twily in Frilly lace socks, beckoning you closer.”
I saw a pillar of earth headed to my head after I said that.I quickly dodged it and stuck out my long black tongue “Nyegh!” to which I saw she was gone.
I shrugged and headed home, smiling at the thought of a nice cup of tea. As I walked I saw something in the ground. I stopped and picked up two items. One was a gear with a dragon around it and the other a necklace with a small black katana on it. As I held the dragon gear I heard a voice.
‘Yo! Name’s Sam, if ya need some help, to talk to, or to spar give me a shout!.” I looked at the gear for a minute before looking at the other one.
‘....’
I looked to the katana necklace and shrugged, putting them both in my pocket as i walked into the Elder Oak, eager to see my wife.
