Tales of Tenpony tower
Chapter 1: An Unexpected Adventure
This forest killed my parents and is slowly eating away at the stable. We've had no choice but to go deeper, many of us had died, but that was ten years ago, it's been ten long years after the forest stopped eating away at our stable. Oh shut up shut up shut up star storm stop dreading in the past your safe now and that's all that matters. "Hey Star Storm" Came a voice from the doorway "OH Clumsy just the pony I wanted to meet" Clumsy pencil is a green coated unicorn stallion with a black and purple mane. He is the stables artist keeping the stable beautiful and the residents happy, Clumsy my only friend and the only pony I can call family. "What's on your mind star?" Clumsy asked with a smile, "Well I need you to accompany me on a recovery mission….. On the top floors" "WHAT!" Shouted clumsy which is quite weird because Clumsys usually quite calm "thats where the, you know… plant is" "Yes I know clumsy but I've been issued this by the overmare and I… also sort of…. Have to grab a sample….. of the plant" again clumsy shouted "WHAT! And you want me to go with you" "Yes" "Ok fine but your gona owe me after this".
We were standing in front of the fortified metal door that was separating us from the killer plant "You know star you still haven't told me what you are recovering" "we are recovering a couple old terminals to fix the ones we already have" Star said for what felt the fiftieth time. The door opened and we entered instantaneously stepping on several pony skulls, as we crept in further we stepped on more different bones it was like a scene from a horror movie. Clumsy was the first to turn on his pip-buck light and then me, now I know what you're thinking… A pip-buck is a small computer that wraps around your lower left leg, the pip-buck has a ton of storage space and keeps tabs on your health and supplies, there is also a 'eyes forward sparkle' that tags and shows friendly and unfriendly entities. Some pony's say there is a S.A.T.S augment that help you target and tag enemies.
So we're walking through the higher levels guided by the light of our pip-bucks staying clear of the death plant "Sooo how are you planning on getting this... sample" Clumsy asked "Just pull of a leaf or something with your magic" Star said in a tone that made Clumsy feel stupid "then you can take it back to the labs while I bring the old terminals down" suddenly the walls seemed to move me and clumsy stood still in shock THE WALLS WERE MOVEING! "RUN" we decided to put our eyes forward sparkle on to help us navigate the seemingly endless tunnels. When it came on the compass was completely covered with RED! "KEEP RUNING" "WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M DOING!" Soon we were on what seemed to be the top floors weaving through corridors and passages before we were suddenly stopped by a large cog shaped door "We need to find a way out or we're plant food" Clumsy said urgently "HMMM….. THERE!" there was a crack between the door and the large hinge where the plant pushed through only large enough for a pony to fit through "OH thank the goddesses" we said almost harmoniously.
Bright the outside world was very bright. Our eyes adjusted to the sudden change of light, we looked around, we seemed to be in the middle of some old palace then we looked up, grey large rolling balls of grey. "Look" clumsy said while pointing a hoof, I looked to where he was pointing there was a large tree with what looked like grew, apples! We ran over dam we were hungry. We reached the tree only to find the ground fall from under us. I woke up… alone, I haven't been alone for ten years "STAR! Your awake o thank the goddesses" Clumsy said with a tone that reminded me of a mum "Your wounds were deep but I healed them" I looked down at my bandaged up body and at the brace supporting my right hind leg "Now that you're awake drink this" what huh Clumsy being assertive I must be dreaming and he's caring for injury's, WHAT? I drank the red carrot flavoured liquid. I could feel its magic closing my wounds and healing any internal injuries. Once I had the strength I stood up and walked over to clumsy who was OMG pulling a stick out of his flank ERHEM "oh Star yeh anathstetic spell can't feel a thing" Clumsy said with a smile, the stick came out with a meaty sqwelch. Blood started pouring out of the, what looked deep wound before being wrapped in healing bandages. "Um Clumsy when did you learn to do well this?" "I asked one of the medical pony's to teach me in my spare time he really seemed to like my interest in it" Clumsy explained while blushing "So you feeling good to go?" "Yeh sure let's get out of this deadly forest" we grabbed our supplies and headed off we didn't get far before we encounted our next challenge, the monster which looked like a cross with a rat and a large wolf roared with a roar that would scare the soul out of anyone I pulled out my sledge hammer and heled it with my magic (I always carry with me anywhere I go) and clumsy just hid behind a rock. The monster lunged at me and kicked on the S.A.T.S (for the first time) 'hear goes nothing' I targeted the monsters head WHAK the sledge hammer broke through the monsters skull with a krack. I had to jump out the way as the monster fell to the ground with a thump. Phweew I sighed slumping against the rock Clumsy was cowering behind "Is it dead" Clumsy said with a gulp "You didn't have to kill it you know" "It was trying to kill us!" I yelled "Yeh but there could have been some other way" Clumsy said almost at a whisper "HMPH, LETS GO".
Soon we exited out of the forest. "Look a town!" "huh" Clumsy said looking around "THERE" Clumsys eyes fell open the old town and started running towards it "Wait it might be dangerous!" I ran after a enthusiastic clumsy on a mission. "CLUMSY!" "Yes" clumsy replied before stopping, panting I said "if the forest was dangerous than this town might be dangerous it may not have anything good in it" "Oh yeh… right" Clumsy said extremely disappointed.
CLONK I looked to my left Clumsy was lying unconscious "Clumsy!" I yelled.
Darkness… I've never been unconscious in my life except for that one time some heavy machinery fell on me anyway it was weird, I started to hear voices before I suddenly jolted awake. I looked around to glance a worn out sign reading PONY VILE the happiest place in Equestria before passing out.
I awoke yet again it what seemed to be a cage inside a, hollowed out tree? I looked around for Clumsy, there! He was lying inside the cage next to me. Then I noticed other pony's in cages around me before realising this was a slaver house! I had to think of a way out "psst clumsy. Psst clumsy" "Shh of what I've heard those who talk too much get their tungs chopped out" Clumsy said with a squeak. I looked around for something I could use to escape, damn it nothing. Clink clink clink "Hey you up there, with the suit how come I've never seen you around deez parts" the slaver stallion asked Clumsy. Clumsy managed nothing more than a squeak "ANSWER ME WHEN I TALK TO YOU!" "we are from a stable" Clumsy said pissing himself "A stable eh well this will make the trade just that more important" The slaver said with a snicker. Before sitting into a chair and opening an old book of some kind.
Morning I awoke early from nightmares of the past, I looked around the slaver outpost it seemed that everyone was asleep preside the guards on the balconies, my eyes fell upon the stallion that talked to clumsy before he had hung the keys on an old nail above him what foalish move now I could grab the keys and get out of this place. I hadn't noticed the smell of this place until now or the oh god severed pony parts and body's hanging from the roof and walls, I observed the walls further preside the retched language and tattered old books was a old war poster with a yellow coloured winged pony it read WAR FEAR DEATH, WE MUST DO BETTER, MINISTRY OF PEACE. I shook all the new thoughts out of my head and continued with my plan. I wrapped the keys with my magic and slow pulled them of the nail preside the slight jingle it was quiet I put the key into the hole, slowly turning the key the lock started turning with a loud creak and a bang the cage unlocked SHIT I looked around no pony heard it phew I pursued to open the rest of the cages some unlocked louder than others I helped clumsy out of the cage who was shaking with fear and smelling like piss.
Let's go we entered the first room, bad idea the first two escapees were instantly shot in the face by two guards who prepared an ambush RUN! We ran into the next room and barricaded the door with some furniture "We need our supplies" the first pony said. Our stuff would be in the armoury "I'll go" said a purple coloured unicorn, we all looked at the mare emerging from the crowd and moving the furniture "NO they could be waiting to ambush us again why do you think they haven't tried to get in here yet" a blue earth pony said "Don't worry I have a plan" the unicorn said while pulling a metallic apple shaped object from her ass half the crowd cringed we watched as she opened the door and pulled the stem out the top of the apple shaped object before throwing it through the door "GRANADE!" the guards said harmoniously before BANG fire and shrapnel flew through the doorway tearing away at our cover and the brave unicorn mare that didn't have enough time to get away "NO!" we all said as we rushed to the mares side "My name is…. Cough Storm chaser" was all she could manage before the life in her eyes flickered out.
A new feeling brewed up inside me as I stood up Clumsy was keeping the other ponies calm they were all crying and fearing for their lives to, a thought struck me hard I wasn't going to let any more of these innocent ponies die. I wrapped a piece of shrapnel in my magic and launched through the fire stabbing the first slaver I saw right in the eye, I let go of the shrapnel and grabbed the assault shotgun and its ammo I had no idea how to use this but I didn't care I lunched into the next room kicking on S.A.T.S BANG BANG BANG the shotgun roared as I pulled the trigger with my magic three slavers went down I turned around three more burst through the door BANG BANG *click* Two of the slavers where down blood pouring out of the remnants of their skull the last one looked at me before being knocked unconscious by the back of my gun, but I didn't stop their no I kept on hitting and hitting until the slavers head was a runny red mush. I slumped against a mettle box and passed out.
When I came to Clumsy was leaning over me with his saddle packs on and holding a group of boxes that had a yellow cross with three butterflies printed on it "Are you ok Star I saw you kill all these pony's in what I can only say was an act of rage" "Yeh I um oh god" I turned away in disgust "I I kkkilled aaall these ppponys" I said before breaking into tears "I'm afraid so now grab some weapons and armour we have to get out of here" Clumsy said calming me down "Ok let's get out of here"
