Nightmares In Paradise
Chapter 8: Kill Or Be Killed
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"Princess Celestia!" Twilight screamed excitedly, she hadn't expected to be seeing either of the princesses Today. "And Princess Luna!" The two princesses smiled at Twilight.
"Hello, Twilight Sparkle." Luna said with a nod. "And friends."
"To what do we owe the pleasure?" Zane and Nathan asked, bowing. All of the Outsiders were bowing, even Marcus, but he was doing so with a scowl on his face.
"Well," Celestia explained. "Spike sent me a letter, explaining there was a captivating noise, and that new faces had arrived. He asked me to teleport you all here so I could see you."
Spike chuckled nervously as Twilight stared at him. "What?!" Spike said. "You didn't say WHEN they had to meet the Princesses."
"Your majesties," Austin said. "We just want to tell you first hand, how honored we are to be here in Equestria, and that we plan to be on our BEST behavior. ALL of us. RIGHT?" He was glaring at Marcus during that last sentence.
"I already said I would." Marcus said, the unpleasant look on his face.
"We are honored to have you." Luna said. "Spike mentioned you were humans, from Earth?"
"That is correct." Freddie said.
"How were you sent here from a different Dimension?" Luna asked. "I hope you do not have plans to take over our fair Kingdom. Because if you do," Luna then gave an evil Stare to all of the evil Outsiders. "YOU WILL BE SORELY DISAPPOINTED." Nova and Ze gulped.
"No, no!" Freddie exclaimed. "Nothing of that nature, princesses. There is a story behind our arrival."
"Please tell us." Celestia said.
Nova started singing some very fitting music, if you can even call it Music. All he did was make random noises.
"What are you doing?" Luna asked, quirking an eyebrow.
"I'm making fitting music. It goes with this epic Tale." Nova answered with a shrug. Luna and Celestia giggled, signaling for Nova to start again, so he did.
Austin cleared his throat, and told the story for the THIRD time today. "On Earth, our occupation is that of Professional Wrestlers. One of our co-workers, has a second job in part to being a Wrestler, he invents things. Many things. He does this, because he plans to take over our planet. He wishes for this, because he is not originally from our Planet. He is an Alien, from a planet far out in the Galaxy called Onceria. One of his many inventions, is called the Dimensionomicon, it's purpose is to send others to different Dimensions. We were chosen as the recipients of the teleportation. The creator of this device, however, did not know the extent of it's Power, as he too was also sent here to Equestria along with us. This man, goes by the name, of Emperor Pyro-Zi. And I'm sorry to say, he is most likely planning to take over all of Equestria." Austin could barely breath because he had told the story in the span of a minute. Nova continued with his epic music even after the Story was over, so Ze put his hand over his mouth.
"We know it's a very odd story," Punk said. "But you HAVE to believe us."
"Honestly...." Celestia began. "Your story is far more believable than that of Team BLU." The Outsiders smiled.
"BUT," Luna said. "That does NOT mean we trust you."
"Sister, please..." Celestia said, halting Luna's words. "We trust you all fully. And we appreciate you telling us of the danger that is ahead." Luna scowled.
"Thank you, princesses." Nathan and Zane said.
"You are.....Welcome." Luna struggled to say, still getting used to being nicer than before. "But, the Elements of Harmony will easily dispatch of this 'Pyro-Zi'. They have defeated the likes of several others before him."
"We hate to disagree," Austin retorted. "But we warn you, do not count out Pyro-Zi too quickly. He is an evil Mastermind. But, his recent plans to take over Earth have not gone over as he planned."
"See?" Luna smiled. "Nothing to worry about."
"I believe it IS something to worry about, dear sister." Celestia said, once again disagreeing with her sister. "While the Elements of Harmony have defeated plenty of evil before, I trust these humans' judgement. If they say that this man is evil, than he surely is evil."
"Pyro-Zi has another character trait that will work to our advantage," Austin said. "He is slow to follow up on his plans, and we have been told that Team BLU will be returning soon. We know Team BLU, you could say...We are associates with them. They visit our dimension regularly. As the girls have told us, BLU helped saved Equestria numerous times, so we fully believe that by the time Pyro-Zi begins his attack, BLU will have already arrived. And they will foil his plans as well."
"If the inevitable occurs," Celestia said. "Such as BLU not returning in time, will you be of any help to save Equestria?"
"Princess," Freddie said. "We are skilled in Wrestling, Muai Thai, and other forms of ancient brawling. We promise you we will try our best to aid Equestria during the troubled Times." The princesses smiled and Nodded.
"Thank you, once again." Luna said. "Your bravery is....Admiring. We must ask you, though, that you let Twilight Sparkle turn you into Ponies."
"Why?" Marcus asked, not happy about Luna's statement.
"Because," Luna explained. "If you are kept in Human form, then other Citizens will become scared and frightened off your appearances. Many other ponies have never seen anything quite like you men, they will then overreact, thinking YOU are the enemy. And you obviously aren't. You are HEROES." Luna smiled.
"No disrespect in your judgement, Princess," Punk said. "But we are just average Joe Human beings. We are anything but Heroes."
"Oh," Celestia said. "But you ARE! You warned us of a very powerful entity's attack before it occurred. Now, we know who and what to look out for. Equestria is forever grateful for what you have told us today." Celestia sincerely smiled.
"We thank you, princess." Austin said. Everyone bowed once again.
"We must know..." Luna said. "What are your names?"
Austin began. "I am Austin Ross."
"Freddie Hediger." Freddie said.
"My real name is Phillip Brooks," Punk said. "But I prefer to be called C.M. Punk."
"My name's James Wilson," James said. "But I like Nova better."
"Ze's birth name was Stephen Viking, but Ze likes to be called Ze best." Ze answered.
"Nathan Bougeno." Nathan said.
"Zane Dotson." Zane answered, smiling Hugely.
"Marcus Sims." Marcus said.
"He also goes by Marky!" Pinkie said, hopping.
"I do NOT go by Marky, your majesties." Marcus said, glaring at Pinkie. The princesses just giggled.
"I'm Kit." Kit said.
"Damian." Damian said. "'Sup?"
"And my name is Tate."
"They're my sons." Freddie said.
"You brought your CHILDREN here with you?" Luna asked.
"They were with me when we were teleported." Freddie explained. "Besides, they'd miss me too much if kept back on Earth."
"Pfffttt," Kit said. "We're not wussies, dad!"
"Yeah!" Damian said. "We can handle ourselves just fine."
"Scooters are fancy." Tate said, grinning.
"They're jokesters," Freddie said, ruffling up Kit's hair, which made him pout.
"And this big guy," Punk said, gesturing towards Ryback. "Is Ryback. He doesn't like to talk." Ryback shrugged.
"Well," Celestia said. "It is very nice to meet you all. We wish you good luck on your journey."
"We appreciate it." Freddie said.
"WAIT!" Zane yelled. "Princess Luna. May we ask a favor of you?"
Luna was surprised. "What do you wish?" She asked.
"Could you say....The Fun has Been Doubled? It would please us." Nathan said, blushing.
Luna looked oddly at her sister. "Ummm...Alright then. THE FUN HAS BEEN DOUBLED!"
"YES!!!!" Zane and Nathan yelled, Celestia shrugging at her sister.
"We'd better get going," Twilight said. "We need to change you all into Ponies." To that, everyone except Marcus cheered. Ryback just smiled.
"That is correct." Celestia said. "We shall see you all later." Everyone waved, as they were teleported to Twilight's home.
"What do you think of our guests?" Celestia asked.
"They are...A bit odd." Luna answered honestly. "But, so was BLU. And look what they accomplished."
"They were a great help to us today." Celestia said. "Now we know what we are up against." Luna nodded.

Cave.....
///////////////
Pyro-Zi had gone away from Town Hall after his enemies has been Teleported away.
"Hmmm..." Pyro-Zi thought out loud. "I will have to look for shelter. I could create a Home for myself at no time in Ponyville, but I fear it's Citizens would get suspicious at the sudden arrival of it's Existence. I guess this large Cave will do for now..." Pyro-Zi stepped inside the cave. It was big, but he wanted to live someplace less....DARK. His heart was dark of course, but Pyro-Zi enjoyed light for some reason.
"Starting tonight, I will think of my plan to take over Equestria. It seems as though my Dimensionomicon can only be used to teleport to Dimensions, not from them. I will have to adjust that later. My main goal in life, was to take over Earth. But I guess Equestria will do for now. I also, need to find something to test my new Weapon out on.....But what...?" Seconds later, the answer came in the form of a large roar. Pyro-Zi looked behind him, and found the source....It was an Ursa Minor....
Pyro-Zi gasped at the sight of the large Bear-Like creature. "What.....Are you?" Pyro-Zi asked, all he got for an answer, was a large Growl.
"You do not scare me! Nothing scares Emperor Pyro-Zi!" The Emperor smirked, and pulled out his latest invention. It was a normal cannon, able to be carried by arm, but what was unique about it, what the Ammo it contained. When he killed the bird he encountered in the EverFree Forest, Pyro-Zi cut off the bird's large claws with a saw. He then reproduced the claws, making 100's of rounds. The cannon-gun could carry 5 rounds. Pyro-Zi was about to test out his latest invention....
Pyro-Zi pulled the trigger, one claw flew out, hitting the Ursa Minor in his left Pectoral Muscle within a second. The claw started moving across the monster's body at rapid pace, tearing open the flesh, causing the Baby Minor to scream from torturous pain. The claw stopped at the heart, but only dug deeper into the skin, plundering into the heart, ripping and tearing into it, the force causing it to explode. Pyro-Zi smirked. His new invention was a success! The Ursa Minor immediately died, and crashed into the ground, causing a loud thud.
Only a few seconds later, Pyro-Zi heard yet another roar, only this time, it was more louder. Soon, an Ursa Major had appeared in front of Pyro-Zi, this time, the Emperor actually had to gulp. The mommy of the Ursa Minor had been awoken from the mixture of her son's yelps of cry, and it's fall to the ground.
"Father of Plutonium...." Pyro-Zi said. Admiring the spectacle that stood in front of him, he quickly remembered, this was no Petting Zoo exhibit, he had a job to do, and that, was to kill the Ursa Major, and claim this cave as his own.
In theory, Pyro-Zi had no chance to even put up a fight. Before he could fire another claw at the Ursa Major, it quickly slashed it's own giant claws at Pyro-Zi, the first hit, was the last hit. The impact of the blow sent Pyro-Zi flying, out of the cave. The Emperor hit many hard rocks on his tumble down to the ground. On impact with the ground, Pyro-Zi did not move a muscle, and he never would again. The force of the Ursa Major was too much for the evil Genius, Emperor Pyro-Zi, Prince of Onceria.....Was dead.
