Chapter 4 Scared To The Core

"Oh what's this little guy?" Fluttershy asked the dog she was walking with who found a strange pack.

The dog let out some more series of barks.

"Oh so this is something that friend of yours uses to store things. What a strange way to store things."

The dog let out even more series of barks that seem like it is explaining something.

"Ok so I just pull on this thing here right?" Fluttershy asked pointing her hoof at a small metal thing on the pack.

The dog just let out one more bark giving Fluttershy the yes answer.

Fluttershy's curiosity this time got the better of her as she attempted to open the damn thing.

*ROAR*

Fluttershy let out a small eep and she looked to her right to find a very pissed off Manticore looking at her, the pack and the small dog like if they were the last pieces of steak at a BBQ.

"Oh uh could you please tell me why you are angry and looking at us like that if you don't mind that is." Fluttershy asked the beast hoping to calm it down and resolve this without violence.

The only answer she got was just another roar that would tell you it's hungry.

"Um ok I am just going to take this pack and this little guy here and go if you don't mind." Fluttershy told the creature as she put the pack as best as she can on her back as well as pick up the dog and put the cute little guy on the bottom of her neck and walked away.

However the Manticore was not so keen on letting its prey go as it ran towards em.

The small companion Fluttershy has befriended earlier let out series of barks warning Fluttershy about the impending danger.

Fluttershy looked behind her to see the Manticore running at full speed towards her.

"Now listen here mister!" Fluttershy quietly yelled looking the Manticore dead straight in the eyes.

But the Manticore would not stop it just kept on running towards her.

"Uh ok It seems like you need to be alone so i'm just going to run." She said as she booked it.

Well time to go on a transition.

Kyler just could not believe his eyes as he saw what looked like a beast with a lion head and wings chasing a horse with wings that tried to and talk to it earlier.

"How the hell is this happening?" He asked himself as he saw the horse go to what looked like a cavern.

'Like it or not but that's one of species the humans that were here before left the crown of sentient species to.'

"Well i'm guessing I have to save it since it would not be here if it weren't for my species eh?" He asked Mercer.

'Like it or not Kyler you have to or else you just let a life similar to yours die. '

"I only have one question Mercer how am I meant to fight THAT?" Kyler asked Mercer looking at the beast.

'Enough time has passed for the virus to change your genes to help you lift things you would think impossible.'

"And how is that going to help me if there is nothing I can see to throw at it?" He asked Mercer.

'Just try beating the shit out of it.'

"Okay now you are speaking a language I can understand." Kyler told Mercer as he started to run to the possible deadly encounter.

And we are back towards everyone's favorite shy pony.

Fluttershy just ran as fast as her hooves could take her until she ran into a dead end.

She then turned around to see the Manticore blocking the only way out of that place.

"Uh if you could just move a bit to the side please and maybe we can continue both of our lives in peace if you don't mind?" She asked hoping to presway the beast into leaving her alone.

The beast however just open its mouth about to let out a ear piercing roar.

However before the beast could let it out a loud thump sound was created behind it.

The Manticore moved its body to look at what would disturb it before it could make a meal out of Fluttershy just giving her enough of a view to see what might have just come to her rescue.

A tall creature with what looked like clothing covering most of it up.

Transition even though it is not really necessary here.

Kyler just stood there looking at the beast that could just easily kill him he then thought to himself why was he doing this.

The beast then suddenly lunged forward trying to capture Kyler in its waiting jaws.

Kyler didn't even think or notice that he was in midair above the beast avoiding its lunge and landing behind it.

Kyler then kicked it with all the might he could muster which send the beast flying into the wall of the cavern.

Kyler was absolutely amazed by the force his kick did.

"Now that is something I can get use to." he said to himself.

Kyler then looked at the pony the beast almost just made a snack out of and asked "You okay?"

The pony then slowly nod its head.

"Good." He said as he was started to walk away.

*Bark*

Kyler then looked behind him to see something he would not expect to see.

His dog Kooper.

"Kooper?" He asked as Kooper got off the pony and booked it for Kyler stopping at his feet and started Barking and trying to climb his legs.

He then went on one of his knees and started to pet kooper.

'Strange I did not bring him here.' Mercer told Kyler.

'Then how did he get here?' Kyler thought hoping that Mercer can hear his thoughts.

'I don't know.' Mercer replied confirming that he can indeed hear his thoughts.

However while all this was happening the beast was slowly but surely getting up.

And when it did get up it looked at what was happening and saw an opening to go for the kill.

I know these transition are not needed but hey it helps in some areas.

Fluttershy felt happy seeing the two souls in front of her get reunited but the happiness was quickly replaced with fear as she saw the Manticore about to lunge again.

She quickly Yelled out to the best of her abilities "Lookout!" Which sounded more like a whisper but still the being that saved her and the dog whom she now knows as Kooper looked behind it just in time to see the Manticore lunge.

You know the drill.

Kyler saw the beast lunge at him and he did the only thing he could think of which was bringing his arms up to try and stop the beast's jaws from doing lethally damage.

The beast's jaws bit down into Kyler's arms right to the bone.

"Ooh a feisty one ain't ya?" Kyler asked it as he began to lift upwards with what's left of his horribly damaged arms.

After the beast was at a certain height Kyler then started spinning clockwise with the beast still on his arms.

After a while of doing this Kyler got enough speed for his to be satisfied with and he said "Don't try this again." as he threw the beast right off of his arms and sended the damn thing flying away from the place.

"That was a little bit more easy then I thought." Kyler said as he saw the beast disappear through the tree line in the distance.

He then turned his head to the pony he saved twice in a row and asked "Still okay?" right before he fell to the ground from lack of blood and passed out.

Well sorry but going to end it here for now anyways I have nothing really to tell you so I guess see you guys later.
