Chapter XII: Okay, Here We Go.
Yeah, I'm still here guys. And, I sure hope that I can get some help in my situation, but I wouldn't expect it. Hey, maybe you guys could suggest some OC's or something to help out here. Things are getting spicy. So, while I try to get used to my new lodgings, THE FIC IS THE...
"Who the hay are you talking to?" Crossback asked GPB after he started yelling. We had left the girls at the secret place to see if we could get any of the others back to their normal selves.
"Uh... No one. Don't worry about it." He threw on a huge smile. "I'm just... talking to my friends. You know... that aren't there."
I was a little worried that he might be mentally disturbed, but if he was part of the solution, we had to keep him with us. "Alright, now how about we actually go and change Pinkie Pie this time?"
"Yeah, that might be kinda hard."
"What does that mean?"
"I...uh... well... do you remember Gummy?"
"Who could forget?"
"Yeah, uh... funny thing about him." He didn't get another word in before something hit me into a nearby building.
I hadn't even noticed that we had arrived at Sugar Cube Corner, but I should have. There, in front of the door, was a giant green beast. It's eyes still belonged to Gummy, but the five rows of teeth in his mouth sure didn't. "It's Gum-zilla!" I heard him say in awe.
On his back sat the flat-haired pink mare that we were coming after in the first place. She was cackling maniacally at us. "Well, if it isn't Spike and Crossback. And who is your friend?"
GPB stepped forwards. "I'm the one who made you like this, and I'm about to change you back."
"Oh yeah, and how do you expect to do that?"
GPB held out his new staff so that the technicolor end was pointed at Gummy. Gummy opened his mouth as well. Soon, two blasts of light came from them both. "Ah, I wasn't expecting that. I guess Twilight made some changes while I wasn't at the wheel."
"You see," Pinkie said, still smirking, "Gummy has developed the power to breath fire now. And apparently, it's as strong as your power."
"Spike, remind her already!"
I nodded and attempted to get up to Pinkie. Which was much easier said than done, when you consider I had to compete with a giant reptile seven times my size. The first time I got a grip on his leg, he was in the process on nearly stomping on Crossback.
After gripping onto him, I scurried up the leg as fast as I could. Which was hard with all the fire, energy beams, and magic flying past me. But eventually, I did reach Gummy's back.
However, I didn't receive a warm welcome when I did. Pinkie proceeded to whip around, her party cannon in her hooves. But it didn't fire little pieces of confetti, oh no. It shot whole blocks of the little papery substances.
I was nearly shot off of Gummy's back several times before I actually reached the pink mare. When I did, I used almost all my strength to push the cannon off of the giant beast that had once been an alligator. Then, I turned to her. "Pinkie, you have to stop this, now."
She laughed at me. "Yeah right. Why should I listen to you? You have no room to talk about anything, especially about me."
"Pinkie, we need the Element of Laughter back."
"Laughter? Why was I ever Laughter? I grew up on a bucking rock farm! And I have had no contact with my Amish parents in years. Did you know that they disowned me because of my parties? Maybe now I can return to them."
"Pinkie, that's ridiculous! Why would your parents dis-"
"They thought they were too annoying! They thought I was too annoying! That's why I came to Ponyville in the first place. Laughter? There's no reason for me to laugh."
"But Pinkie, everypony here loves you for who you are. And this... isn't you." I heard Gummy howl in pain as a blast hit him full in the eye. Slowly, he began to fall over to the side. "Pinkie, come on!" I held my claw out to her.
At first, she refused it, but when she saw where her pet was heading, she finally took it and we jumped off together. We landed on a bush next to the bakery as Gummy crashed to the ground, shaking it violently.
At first, everyone was silent. Then, I heard some chuckling come from my left. It was Pinkie, laughing at what happened. Soon, we were all laughing ourselves silly. Suddenly, Pinkie had begun to glow brightly before transforming back into her old self. Gummy did as well.
"Oh, Gummy, you looked so silly!" She laughed long and hard about this one.
"Oh, if only my friends were here to see this." I turned to GPB. He was staring into the sky.
Meanwhile, back in our reality...
As a matter of fact, GPB's friend, who will be identified as N, was reading this story as a word document that had been sent to him. "Victor... what did you get yourself into?" He read the whole chapter over and over before thinking to himself. "I wonder..."
He began to type something at the end of the document.
Back in Ponyville...
"Victor? Can you hear me?" a voice asked out of nowhere. We all looked over at GPB.
"Is... is that you, N?" he asked.
"Yeah, it's me."
"Where are you?"
"I'm at home, reading the latest cha-"
"SHUT UP! THEY DON'T NOW THAT!"
"Whatever. I just... added to the end and that's how I'm speaking to you now. It's kind of like a chat room, expect to you I'm talking and to me there's words on a screen."
I was lost again. But apparently, GPB had some friend of his talking to him out of thin air. I didn't know how or why, but I knew better than to try and make since of something that didn't. Pinkie Pie was a great example of this.
"Anyway, hold tight. I'm going to try to get you out of there."
Suddenly, Twilight appeared out of nowhere and landed in the midst of us.
In our Reality...
"What the heck?" N said in shock when the words appeared on his screen. He tried to back space the words, but they wouldn't obey.
So, he cracked his fingers and began to type after it and try to counter it. "This is going to be tricky."
In Ponyville...
Twilight took one step after another towards us. "I see that you have some new friends, Spike. But they can't help you now. I'm in control of this story now. I even have Walker with me."
As if on cue, Walker flew down, but he wasn't the same as before. His outfit was pitch black, as well as his hair. He smirked when he saw me. "Hello, Spike. Long time, no see."
I was scared out of my skin when I saw him, but not as much as when I heard, "Not so fast," come out of the air again.
Another person slowly formed out of the air. I swiftly recognized him as that Tanhan Starsaver from my dreams.
When he was fully out of flux, Victor looked back into the air. "What are you doing? I thought he hasn't happened yet!"
"I know, and it pains me to do this, but I need to save your sorry butt now."
I watched as Victor walked off a ways from the rest of us and behind a tree. What was he doing now?
Okay, so now my friend has to fight Twilight for control of the story? Am I ever going to get out of here? Ugh, you know, just R&R and show your support.
