Yo! It's time for some more stuff with Dempsey and Pony Sam. So lets hop right into it. Ba dosh!
Dempsy standed in a caldron completely naked cleaning himself with a sponge. The zebra said her name was Zecora. Her hospitality was the least Dempsey had expect. If anything he'd thought the inhabitance had never seen a human before. But from what Zecora had said, it was the exact opposite. A human teen had come to this world. He was brought by some sort of queen. But Dempsey could care less about the story. The only thing he really heard was that he was sent away by another force. Much stronger then the force that brought him here. Which goes like wise with both him, and the teen human.
Dempsy had finished cleaning the blood off of his face. He had left Sam to sit out in the main area. Dempsey still did not fully trust Zecora. But she had taken him into her hut, and offered to feed them. She had even allowed him to bath in her caldron. He still had his doubts, but he started to feel like he could trust her enough to let Sam be out of his sight. He finished cleaning himself off. And used the sponge to drain the skin of his body of any soap. He stepped over the side of the caldron and dried himself with the towel given to him. After that, he put on his clothing which she was so kind enough to clean. The uniform looked as good as it was the day he had received it. Even the old, dry blood that was deep within the stitches and the fabric was removed. After he putted the uniform back on, he pushed the curtain away.
He saw that Sam was now sitting in a chair in front of a fire. She was smiling a little and sticking her hooves out towards the open flame. She had probably seen enough fire thanks to the war to know what it can do and how dangerous it can be. So he did not worry about her sticking her hooves out. He walked over to the fire ad sat next to her. He sat in a criss cross position. He looked at the fire. God only knows how long I've spent in front of a fire in enemy territory. The heat of the fire slowly filed him with a comforting sensation, that of peace. Dempsey had forgotten what it was like to actually be calm. He couldn't even remember the last time he had gotten a break from those freaks. This was the first peace he had ever had in a while. "Mister." Dempsey turned his head to look down at the little Unicorn. "Hey, call me Dempsey. Alright?" "Oh okay." She smiled with her eyes closed and her mouth open... This made Dempsey smile himself. She opened her eyes again "Dempsey, vat are ve going to do now?" "He looked back to the fire. "For now, we can enjoy the break. Maybe we should get some sleep." It was, as he realized. The first time he could actually keep the adrenaline out of his veins and he was very tired. He had been awake for over 100 hours. He should have dropped from being exhausted if anything if the freaks never got to him. "I am still sleepy, but vere vould ve rest our headz?" "I could answer za question zat you ask." Dempsey and Sam turn around to see Zecora had returned, she had said she had left to go get some important ponies. In doing so she returned with a very intimidating looking ponyish creature and another pony. The intimidating one was black maned and tailed. His hair was very spiky looking, and his tail was a little short but not small, just very natural looking like it had never had it cut. He was grey and his eyes were Blood red. He had a horn that matched his coat color. Dempsey saw this giant pony had some sort of machine which made it so he had wings. He looked tired and unhappy that he was here. The other pony was yellow with pink mane and tail, it all looked extremely unnecessary to Dempsey the way she looked. Its eyes appeared to be locked onto his body, scanning his figure. This pony was female. He could tell so by the eyelashes. Where as the other one did not. So it must be male. "You come vith us." Dempsey got up and walked up to this depressing pony. "Alright, so what in the name of god is going on? Where am I?" "I vill explain as we go. Come." Sam got up and walked over to the mouth of the hut where Dempsey was. "Oh, you seem like such a small little filly. What's you're name?" Said the yellow one very quietly to Sam. "My name is Samantha." Her face lit up with confusion. But the grey one turned over to look at the yellow one. "It's a human name dear. She from what I guess, is a little girl." Dempsey walked out of the hut and said. "Great, so let's go." Sam turned around to face Zecora who smiled at her. "Thank you, Zecora." "Your welcome." Sam walked out of the hut along with the other two ponies.
As they walked Dempsey started to ask questions again. "So, where are we going?" The grey one talked. "Ve are going to our home. It is a cottage. Just outside za Everfree forest." "That's what this place is called?" "Yes. It's full of mean creatures thought. So it's not za most desirable place to be at night. Now it's my turn to ask a question." He said. "How is it on earth? Iz zere anything of interest going on.?" Dempsey's mind searched for anything that could suffice for a sufficient answer other then, it's destroyed. But instead Sam answered for him. "Um, my daddy destroyed it." The grey one stopped walking and so did the yellow one. His eyes opened wide for a moment trying to process what he had just heard. Then he laughed. "Okay let's here za answer from mister…" "Dempsey, Tank Dempsey." He stated. "Right, how's earth Mr. Dempsey?" He asked "Well, it' is how she said it was. Destroyed." This time he stopped moving. He turned around and the horn he had began to change from grey to black. He tried to touch the tip onto Dempsey's head. But he backed up. He punched him in the nose. The horn stopped glowing and he put one hoof on his nuzzle. "OW!" The Yellow one stepped in front of him and got very angry looking. "What's the big idea?" She walked forward menacing like. But she shoke and stopped when he said. "Any closer and I'll rip you're eyes out!" But she then huffed some air out and continued to approach. "Vait Fluttershy, I should have told him vat I vas doing." She stopped. And turned around. His eyes were watering a little. "I vas going to check if you vere lying." Dempsey crossed his arms. "Fine, but I'm not lying just so you know." He kneeled down so he could do whatever he said he was doing. When his horn touched his head. His pupils dialated. He stepped back from him. "My… word. You're not lying. Earth is destroyed." He looked up to the sky. "But yet, za planet iz still blue as It iz." "You can see earth from here?" Dempsey and Sam Looked up to the sky. The star patterns were very much different from what it was on earth. The only thing that seemed to stand out was a green star. It's za blue spec in za sky." Said the grey pony. Dempsey did see the tiny blue dot of light in the sky. But from what he remembered, if that was earth. It shod not even be there. "Well I know you're sitting me then, Cause I saw earth be fucked by a couple of missles." Replied Dempsey. He looked down and saw that the grey pony was frowning at him. "Do you ever hold you're tongue near za little girl?" He looked down to the little girl who was not looking very happy. "Do you not like these words?" "Daddy only uses them when he's really mad. Are you really mad?" "Well, no but…." Dempsey yawned. "After being on the battle front for about 4 years, they get stuck to you're tongue." The grey ones eyes opened a little more. "What war?" Dempsey turned his head to look at the horse being. "You know, the second world war." He frowned. "Za human told me zat war ended over 70 years ago." "Well, some crazy sh- I mean, stuff happened and I went forward in time or something." "Vell, you're memories do show zat. But who iz zis Doctor character you're memories show?" He asked. "He was somebody I was surviving with, He was quite a messed up f-." Dempsey shaked his head trying to knock the swear out. "Guy, he was mad. It turned out he was trying to kill her." He looked down to Sam." "Vy vould anypony, or thing want to kill a little girl?" "Rictofen told me that she was doing this because she wanted to change the world. That she was of true evil and wanted nothing more then the death of all. I thought the rotting freaks coming after us fitted with his story. But each and every recording I heard where ever we went started to make me reconsider. It wasen't until we reached the moon that I learned of Rictofen's true desire. It was the exact thing that he said that she was wanting." He looked down to Sam again. She was tearing a little. "But I learned that she was just a neglect girl who was just trying to get to her father. Her dad really did care. Just what he did, it was too dangerous for her to be around. From what I heard in the recordings, there mother died and so did there dog, technically." Dempsey remembered the recordings at that place in germany. Where that group 935 was doing things with zombies. Rictofen Was pressured to do something that he shouldn't have tried. Which was to try to teleport a dog to another place. Another recording suggested it was fluffy, Sam's dog who was pregnant at the time. This would explain the zombie dogs that roamed around at different times. "Wow." Said the grey one. "Oh my." Said the yellow one. She started to cry a little she walked over to sam. Who was crying a bit too. "Well, Mister Dempsey is here to look after you now, right?" "Yes, but I want my daddy." She said now with her sobbing showing in her voice.
Dempsey felt bad for her. The only thing he wanted when he was a child was for his dad to love him. But instead he beated him, saying he was too soft for his affection. His mom couldn't say anything. She was too afraid that he would hurt her too to say anything. Dempsey's father was a big man and he was very strong and muscular. Dempsey reflected this, but as much. As Dempsey grew older he started to think his dad never cared for him at all. The only thing he did was put food on the table and listen to the radio for hockey games. Dempsey was an only child and never had anyone to talk to. He had a lot of pent up emotion which led to anger problems. But his father drafted him in the marines as soon as he was old enough before he could say anything. Dempsey's anger was only heightened by this and finally said, he was a no good piece of shit that was nothing more then a waste of fucking air. The marine officer's had quite the time restraining his father before they had to seditate him. Not only was Dempsey treated with a respect in the marines, but was known to destroy some punching bags out of anger. Dempsey was actually feared by his higher and was told to sit out most of the CQC classes in fear he might kill someone. When it came to the zombies and everything else, His anger fuelled his fight against the zombies and his body to live. Now that most of his rage was gone now. Other things started to kick in. Things like being tired and emotions other then anger.
"Sam, I know you miss you're dad. But… Chances are, you're not going to see him anymore." She sobbed a bit more and Fluttershy flew and scooped her up. She rocked her in her front legs like a baby. He thought it was sweet. The grey pony walked up next to him and whispered. "She so gentle and caring. It's part of the reason I married her." There was a rustling in the bushes. We all stopped and Fluttershy reacted by flying up into the air really quick with Sam still in her arms. Dempsey still reflexively reached for his holster. Which still had no gun in it. He heard a burp that sounded familiar. The grey one had some sort of weird looking cannon things come out on little metal arms. He two made a face of fighting anger. A hand came out of the bush. Then a face which was all to familiar. Nikoli looked at them with the most drunken/curious face. He looked to the grey pony first with the cannon things and his horn with black stuff flowing around it. He looked at his bottle of vodka and said. "Wow, maybe I should stop drinking." He paused and continued to look at the bottle with a serious face. "Hmm, nah." He then went bottoms up. Dempsey face palmed. Which made the grey pony laugh. When he brought his hand back down the grey pony looked up to the sky which Fluttershy had been holding Sam tightly. "It'z safe." Dempsey walked up to Nikoli and said. "Good to see ya could join the party." The smell of the zombies masked any smell that could have been hiding under the rotting. So when Dempsey stepped in front of Nikoli. His stomach lurched. He smelt like feces mixed with skunk and old rotten eggs. "Jesus Nikoli!" He said covering his nose before he lost his supper. "How long have you smelt like that for!?" He smiled drunkly and was swaying from side to side. "Since we first meet." He smiled remembering that day with drunken memory. "That was a good day, wasn't it?" he said very drunkly. "You smell like someone made you swim in a john, and wrapped you in skunks for 5 months." "I know right?" He said with more drunken happiness coming to his face. He wrapped his arms around Dempsey whose eyes shot open. The smell was so strong and so foal that his eyes started to water, Just trying to keep chemicals away. "You are my, best friend Dempsey." He swong his arm out trying to add point to what he was saying. "Takio, can kiss my ass! You are, better friend." The grey pony had started to laugh. "Vy is he acting like an idiot?" He said.
Fluttershy had finally came back down with Sam. Sam looked at Nikoli and said. "Oh great, the drunken Russian is here too." "Get off me Nik!" He said pushing him off. He then breathed in a breath of fresh air. Which sounded like a gasp. As he breathed heavily from holding his breath. He said. "Okay, Nikoli. You need to get clean, or. I'm goanna puke." Nikoli followed behind him but kept his distance. Not because he wanted to, but because he was having quite the time walking. He fell over a couple of times as they walked. But He couldn't get back up most of the time. So Dempsey had to pick him up sometimes. Other times the grey pony picked him up with his horn. Dempsey didn't ask how he could do it or why. He didn't care. He knew it might have had to do something with his horn since it was obvious enough with the blackness surrounding Nikolis body when he got picked up. But he figured if a small metal ball on the moon can fly around on its own. Then a pony with its horn can move a full grown man.
They arrive at the cottage. It was set on a pretty good area. There seemed to be a pond surrounding the small hill it was settled on, there was a bridge over the pond which led to the cottage. Dempsey thought it looked like a tree hugger's home. As he could see various bird feeders and homes hanging around the cottage. "Vell ve are home again." Said the grey pony. Nikoli spoke again very drunkenly, seemed to have realized something thought that drunken mind. "Holy shit! You're talking!" He said. He turned around to face Nikoli, Frowned at him. "Stop swearing!" This enraged Nikoli a little. "Fuck you, talking horse thing. I'll fucking say whatever the fuck I wan't to fucking say. Fuck face." Dempsey was getting worried that Nikoli must had been drinking so much vodka, he wasn't even sure he had his balls on straight. "Nikoli, just stop drinking for a minute." Nikoli's face immeditly made a face of shock. "Umm, doez any one of you have a bucket?" "Vat?" "Too late!" He ran over to the pond and then lurched the content's of his stomach into the pond. Making a horrible noise in the procces. Fluttershy was horrified and so was Sam. The grey pony's horn had gone black again and seemed to grab all the puke from the pond and then it disappeared in a ball of light. After Nikoli stopped puking. He fell backwards and passed out. But he burped one last time.
End of chapter. So Nikoli is In Equestria with Dempsey and Sam. In case there's any confusion. This is after Mecha & Logan, so if you did not read to what it is right now. It might be a little confusing. Lets end with a question. Where in the name of Celestia did Zecora get her cutie mark? Mecha, out.
