Where....am I?
Chapter 13: Ok Seriously....Where The Hell am I?
Previous Chapter Next ChapterSorry about the late update, I promised someone last night or thi morning and it slipped my mind. That's what happens when you get lost in stories until 1 in th morning.
Ok you guys remember what happened last night right? I remember falling asleep and getting kissed....and with that I spring up to find out if my fears were right....Thank Celestia they weren't. but Somehow I ended up in a hidden city at least 10000 ft over Manehattan.
"Ok what.....THE fuck!" I shouted before remembering what hard drinking does....Yep. Hangovers. fuuun....As I had to fight the urge to punch myself in the head to make the pain stop I remembered where I was and had to figure out what the hell happened to get me here.
After 5 minutes of struggling to stand up I did.I then took one step, and fell. Straight into a free fall. Have you ever had a freefall from 10000ft while nursing a hangover? Damn near impossible. But so was learning how to break the 4th wall.
I let my wings out and start trying to pull up when I notice a certain white line....oh no. ohnonononononononono...I pull up just before I break the sound barrier. I know what you're thinking."Why the hell would you stop!?" Again, hangover. You know how loud a sonic boom is? My head would've exploded as it's already beating me from the inside out thanks to Celestia's sun.
I manage to fly myself back up to the city...known as Flank. So where the hell is is this city you ask? It flies all over never staying in one place for long. And I somehow found after a drinking myself to sleep.
"Great...You first time getting drunk, and now you have emulate that movie...what was it called again....?" I struggle to think of the name of the movie not even noticing the mare behind me trying to get my attention.
"Um..Hello?" She says as she taps my flank.
I turn around. Slow enough not to irritate my headache and see an indigo earth pony.
"Um....How are you even up here?" I ask seriously hoping I didn't teach people how to 'Pinkie' while I was drunk.
"Oh I used to know a couple of Unicorns who combined their magic and gave the ability to walk on cloud like you pegasi forever. Also I can teleport short distances."
"Yeah right. I said thinking she's full of shit.
I turn around only see she's facing me again. I then open the door to the building we were in front and moved like I was going inside to see her slight flash and then I closed the door and flew as fast as my head would let me.
"Hey! I'm trying help you! I know how you got here!"
Well that stopped me.
I flew back and landed right in front of her.
"ok then, tell me. How did I get up here? And If you say 'You flew', I'mma slap the shit outta ya." I say. What? This was my first hangover and I don't like talking to new folks anyway. Especially not the day after Hell Week.
"Well....You were getting chased by some griffin who kept calling you a dweeb..."Fuck, I always thought about trying to make nice with Gilda," you were evading her with extremely talented flying skills. Even the Wonderbolts would be impressed." Great, I'm the awesome when drunk guy....waaaiiit. I'm the Awesome When Drunk Guy! where was I...oh yeah.."you tired her out and flew into an apartment building and after about 20 minutes you flew out of the front door with a mob chasing you. You evaded them like a pro though." Oh..That still doesn't explain how I got here. or why I woke up on the street now that a think about it..." I say.
"Oh You lost the mob and passed out a few minutes later...I was gonna check into a hotel but you looked like you'd be messed with while sleeping so I slept hear you to kinda keep you safe."
She did what? Lemme read what I said again for a second....
....
....
She slept next to me....Guys...My day just got 5 percent crazier.
"Oh yeah I almost forgot, you had a couple of other pegasi following you helping you out and they looked....jut like you actually. They were both gray and had the same cutie mark..."the mare's voice trailed off.
"Where did they go!?" I asked frantically. It wasn't White Fire I was worried about. It waas Fucking Dark Flare I was worried about.
"Um...After you lost the Griffon, they flew that way!" She said pointing her hooves in two opposite fucking directions. Seriously. Now I have see if they're still here in the fucking city still and what damage they've done while drunk. Not a good to be me.
"Ok I'll go look for the brown and black haired one. You go look for the blue and black haired one. ok?"
"Uh ok. By the way, My name is Misty."
"And I'm Phoenix, see ya later!."
and with that we separated.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ok now I know I've done some crazy things but I think this tops it." White Fire said looking down from Flank's version of the space needle.
"The fact that I can even breathe is amazing. Just Like the view...." He said while looking at the line that separates outer space and the atmosphere.
You're wondering. What's he doing up there? I'll tell you. He woke up there with a recording device of some kind taped to him.
"Well I guess I should listen to the tape recording." White said
He found the play button and pressed it watching the screen it had waiting.
3 and a half minutes later.
White broke the speed barrier trying to find Dark Flare, for what he heard he just watched he'd need some back up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mean while.....
"Bring it assfaces, I can take you all!" Yelled Dark as he faced about 10 stallions.
While he was shit faced he stumbled across a fight club. He got in and started fighting. He actually just woke up from an hour long nap when he was challenged by these random stallions.
They all jumped in a ring and Dark Flare charged up. He basically wrapped his body in sparks so it would be painful to grab him.
"Ay Yo Ref! Ring the bell already." That's when everyone heard the sound of someone breaking the sound barrier.
Dark took this opportunity to tackle one of the ponies since he heard the bell ring.
"Weak." Dark said as he let himself get circled.
"That was a bitch move bro. We don't like bitch moves." One of the ponies in the ring said.
"Well then stop circling me and come at me."
All the ponies jumped at the same time.
The following happened inside of five seconds.
Dark punched one pony the jaw hitting another with his elbow. He bucked the two behind him and slapped some of them with his wings. He then grabbed one pony and swung him in a circle knocking the other back before slamming him into the leader.
Five second over.
"Come on get up! I know only 5 of you are knocked out."
"We give." the leader said.
"What was that?"
"We give...."The leader repeated weakly before passing out.
"Ok make that six. You peons agree with this guy?" The 4 peon that were awake shook their heads rapidly
"Well then, gimme my money and the get the fuck out. worthless training dummies." They threw a bag into Dark's Suitcase full of coins. all gold.
"Ok I'm leaving, I'll be back sometime though."
The fighters whose respect he earned all gave him that classic bar good bye.
As he left suitcase in mouth he wondered where the fuck Phoenix and White Fire were.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile.....
Misty heard the sonic boom but ignored it. She figured that none of the three she was involved with would ever be able to pull off a sonic boom.
She walked down the street looking for signs of that Blue and Black haired pegasus Phoenix was talking about.
"It can't be that hard", she muttered to herself.
And then she looked up and saw a blue and black haired pegasus about to fly past her. Thinking quick she grabbed a lasso and roped the pegasus' leg. What she didn't know was that the other end was wrapped around her. All bad considering how fast he was going. She was yanked by leg and was now flapping in the wind."HEEEEYY! YOOOOUUU HA-A-A-A-A-AVVVE THE S-A-A-AME CU-U-TIE MA-A-ARK AS PHOENI-I-X!" Misty yelled competing the wind.
The grey pegasus slowed down and landed."What?"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile....
Phoenix heard the sonic boom and flew straight towards it as fast as he could.
"Dammit Dark, What did you do!?" Phoenix cried as flew hoping what he imagined wasn't the case.
"Ayyy Phoenix, what you doin bro?" He heard someone say.
"Dark? If you didn't do that? then who did? an what's with the suitcase?"
"We gonna keep playing twenty questions, or we gonna go see who did that sonic boom?"
"What ever let's go!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile......
"Well it's simple. Either we get the money from that stupid little pegasus or his friend here drops." said a pony in a dark red suit.
"Yeah but what did this guy do to deserve this anyway?" asked a pony in a deep blue suit.
"I don't know but the boss doesn't like him. Or us since he's making us hold him until the money gets here.." Said the red suit pony.
"You know what? I'm tired of this bullshit. We work, and work, and work, and work. And for what?" Complained the blue suited pony.
"I know but what can we do? We've been in for too long. Only death's door will allow us to leave." Said the red suit
"I see you've been reading those philosophy books I told you about." smirked the blue suit.
"Yeah it interesting and off topic. What can we do?"
"Simple. We take the money, give the guy his friend back and run off. We disappear with the money." said the blue suit.
"I don't know..."
"Well think about it..We got about an hour before the pony gets here ok?"
"Alright.....So...Mare for a day. What would you do?"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So you mean to tell me instead of getting you both a hotel, you slept by him on the street?" Asked White Fire.
"Yep!" replied Misty.
"Are you related to a Pink earth pony that likes to throw parties?"
"Ooohh Pinkie Pie? Kinda. I'm her cousin!" Misty said being the Pinkie trademark smile.
"well that explains that. Anyway I need your help. I owe a lot of money to some mob and if I don't they'll kill some pegasus I was hanging with last night." White Fire said desperately. "I don't even remember what I did or he did but apparently it pissed someone off."
"Aw don't worry Whitey In fact I know exactly where the situation is."
*cue confused look.
"I'll explain when this is taken care of."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So you outflew Gilda and a random mob?" Asked Dark skeptically.
"Yep , apparently all while drunk too." I said with pride.
"Well I was kickin ass all night and that's how I got his suitcase full of money." Dark said opening the suitcase.
Phoenix marveled at the amount of gold Dark won.
"Dude, that's gotta be at least 100 to 200 thousand bits!" Phoenix whispered loudly.
"I know, You, me, white and the girls are set for awhile. You can thank me later." Dark beamed. Yes folks he beamed.
Then I heard a ringing in my hair, which caught me off guard because it feels wierd to have your head randomly vibrated.
I pull a phone out of my hair and hit talk.
"Yo, Phoenix here, who dis is?" I answered
"Get to the city outskirts in an hour with the money or we'll toss your friend off this here cliff." a scream-like voice said.
"What no hello? I mean if this is gonna happen everyone as to be civil at least." I say talling for time.
"Stop fucking around, I kind of like life and you hold that." I guess he figured his victim's pleas(read demands) would motivate me.
"I guess I'll show up." I say then hang up.
"Dark....We gotta jet, I'll go after Misty. You start heading toward the city center."
"Who the fuck is Misty?"
"I'll explain later."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So we have to save this pegasus tied to a chair by giving him the money you owe?" Misty asked
"Yep except we have no money. So here's the plan. We procure a suitcase. and fill it with something similar to bits. Then while they look at the suitcase i'll fray the ropes on the pegasus. When they push him off the cliff he'll fly away and we'll run away. Any questions?"
"Yes, how badly do you think we can mess this up?"
"Um.....We could die. Along with the pegasus in the chair."
"Ok!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So While White Fire, Misty, Phoenix, and Dark Flare all made their way to the city's outskirts to save this one pony. They met up about 20 miles away from the handoff spot.
"Hey Guys!" Misty yelled.
"Misty pipe down! You wanna let them know we're here!" Phoenix hissed.
"No, our plan calls for stealth. Sorry." Misty said softly with a smile.
"Really, ours calls for trickery." Dark Flare said.
"So what's the plan."
"well...We're not sure it'll work. We just know that Phoenix got a call and pissed the guy off."
"Ooook. Then we're going with my plan." White said confidently.
"And If I don't." Dark Flare said.
"I'll mind fuck you for 6 months as punishment for fucking this up." White said sinisterly.
Everyone save White shivered. Especially me since I knew how to put Fluttershy and I back to normal.
Dark Shook his head and said, "Whatever."
White then described his plan which called for Misty and Me to distract the 2 ponies in the suits while Dark and him fray the ropes on the pegasus just enough for him to snap out if he gets pushed over the cliff. I nodded liking the idea. And if it failed after a certain point we could bust some heads without worry.
We walk the rest of the way after Dark hides his suitcase of money when we see a red pegasus with blue nd red hair. His tail looked like mine but red and blue..which annoyed me because he could've cut the ropes himself. He was a little bigger than me and his eyes a little glazed over. Next to him were two pegasi wearing red and blue suits wearing red and blue sunglasses respectively. They were a little shorter than Misty so that made me feel confortable. the part that made me nervous was that the Pegasus was perfectly perched on the railing meant to keep folks from falling over.
"You still think your plan will work?" Misty whispered to White.
"Not completely but it's the safest one." He whispered back.
"Hey what are you whisperin about over there?" The blue pegasus asked suspiciously
"Nothin" Misty said innocently.
I decide to force small talk.
"So how'd you two get here?" I asked the pegasi.
The red one responded.
"We're here on two jobs. We got this extortion job and we also gotta track down the idiot that pissed off the boss last night."
"Oh well we're here to give you this suitcase. Get over to see if it's to your liking." Misty said.
The plan was a go. As the two nimrod walked over to see what if they had to hurt someone Dark and White snuck over to the pony and frayed the ropes using their ...tails. I had to hold back a laugh until later because it looked awkward.
Meanwhile I was bored since the ponies started talking to us about..everything. I mean everything. Their childhoods, their eventual friendship, how they both became orphaned and how the only one to take them in was their boss. Their story was sad. I was almost depressed until they said their boss changed.
"So why don't you take the money and run?" Misty said
"Or even better come with us." I said.
"I'm leaving with you?" Misty asked.
"If you wanna. I'm not so sure about having essentially two of Pinkie." I said with a facehoof. It would be like Rarity says all the time 'The.Worst.Thing.EVER!'
"We'll come with you." The red pony said excitedly.
"We're not that strong." The blue pony said.
"Well You didn't need to explain. Hold on. DARK, WHITE, JUST GRAB THE GUY WE'RE LEAVING" I said.
"WHAT!?" Dark yelled.
"But...my plan..."White said.
This is when the red pegasus burst from the ropes and walked over to the suited pegasi....and slapped the shit out of them. In one swing.
*SMACKSMACK*
"That's...for taking me by surprise."
*SMACKSMACK*
"That's for gagging me."
He lifted his hoof in friendship but the two pegasi flinched.
"This..is for changing your mind."
"Ok..."
They all shook hands introducing themselves. The red and blue haired pegasus was named Ferote Eerfreve. The pegasi he slapped were called Desert Storm and Arctic Wind but get this. Arctic Wind is the red pegasus and Desert Storm is the blue pegasus.
We all went back to Dark's suitcase and picked it up. By then we had decided that Ferote, Desert, and Arctic were coming back to Ponyville along with Dark, White and I. The only who had yet to decide was Misty.
"Phoenix...."
"Yeah Misty..."
Misty looked down, almost like me when I'm thinking too hard for myself.
"I'm not sure about this.."She said as if she'd regret the decision.
"Trust me Misty, Ponyville will love a second party pony. And besides, you're Pinkie's cousin. She knows everyone in ponyville so I'm sure she'll hook you up with some friends. Now get on my back you." I said getting the Misty I met back.
She smiled and giggled as she mounted me(Dirty image..I know you're all gonna think it anyway) and we all took off slowly since I had extra cargo and Dark didn't want to drop his loot.
How we were gonna split what was in Dark's case between Fluttershy, Arctic Wind, Desert Storm, and I was beyond me.
