"Why do my legs have to be short?" Tommy said, as the fiery horse was catching up to him really quickly.
As Tommy was able to turn a sharp corner easily, the lone Soaring Rapid tried to skid to a halt, but he ended up ramming into the wall. Tommy looked back as he ran, and he smirked and said,
"It's not bad being the short guy eh?!"
Then Tommy ended up tripping over something, and landed on the floor.
"OW! What the- Le gasp-" Tommy said, as he turned and saw that he tripped over an apple.
Tommy quickly stood up and grabbed the apple, as he looked around and noticed that there was nothing else on the ground.
'Weird,' Tommy thought, and then he turned his attention to the Soaring Rapid that was slowly approaching him.
"Okay golden, fire, horse, thing... I'm not afraid of you," Tommy said, as he stood his ground, and the horse beast continued to slowly approach him.
"-Sign- I wish it didn't come down to this..." Lester said, as he stood before a garbage can that was overfilled with wrappers, cans, and crumbs of food.
NEIGH!
Lester turned towards the sound, and he saw the Soaring Rapid that was chasing him, standing near a doorway that was on the opposite side of where Lester was in the room. The Soaring Rapid snorted steam from it's nostrils, and then it charged towards Lester.
"But I'd prefer not to get trampled to death!" Lester said quickly, as he pushed over the trashcan, searching for a piece of food for the horse beast.
As the horse drew closer, Lester was still searching for a piece of food.
'Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope! NOPE!' Lester thought, as he grabbed half a hotdog, and prepared for the beast to come.
Kelly was able to jump on a chandelier in one of the rooms, looking around to see if she could find something to give the Soaring Rapid that was walking around below her. The horse beast didn't realize that she was above it, and it continued to walk around, trying to find her.
'I don't see anything. What can I give this thing... or maybe I don't...' Kelly thought, and then she decided to take a risk.
Kelly tugged on her black gloves, as she waited for the horse beast to come closer. Then, when the Soaring Rapid was close enough, Kelly jumped off of the chandelier and landed on the beast's back. The horse beast turned it's head slightly to see that Kelly was on it's back, and then it snorted in fury, as Kelly grabbed onto it's mane and held on tight.
"Bring it on," Kelly said, and the Soaring Rapid started running around while jumping, as she held on for dear life.
The Soaring Rapid that was chasing Charlie was cutting him off at almost every corner, which made him turn around and have to take an alternate route. Charlie couldn't find any food to give the horse beast, and he was starting to get tired of running. He ended up in another room and quickly pushed a few heavy barrels in front of the door. He could hear the horse beast banging on the door, and then he saw that the door was slowly opening for it. Charlie looked around the room, and he didn't see anything, besides a lone apple near the door on the opposite side of the room. He didn't have time to question why it was there because the Soaring Rapid was halfway through the door, so Charlie ran straight towards the apple and grabbed it. When the beast finally broke into the room, it ran towards Charlie, as he held the apple towards it.
Paul was avoiding the Soaring Rapid that was hunting him down, as he was rummaging through a few small barrels that were in the corner of the room he was in. The Soaring Rapid entered the room slowly, as he noticed Paul, but he didn't seem to notice him. As the beast cautiously moved towards Paul, he was able to get at least ten feet away from him. However, as the beast lunged forward, Paul turned around while picking up the small barrel, and he held it out in front of himself. The Soaring Rapid couldn't stop himself from jumping forward, as his whole mouth ended up getting caught in the barrel. At first, the beast wanted the barrel to get off of his face, but then he realized that something was inside. It smelled like a mix of different foods like apples, pickles, and a few pieces of vegetables. The Soaring Rapid began eating the food inside of the barrel on his face, as Paul walked next to him and petted his face. He looked at Paul for a while, as Paul looked at him, seeing if he can trust him.
'I wasn't sure if that was going to work, but I hope he likes the food,' Paul thought, as he and the Soaring Rapid continued to have a stare down.
Violet was running down a hallway, as the horse beast was chasing her. She hadn't found any food at all, but she was tired of being chased.
"Forget this!" Violet said, as she grabbed a few tiny explosives from her pocket.
"Eat this!" Violet shouted, as she turned around and threw the explosives at the horse beast, as it opened it's mouth and swallowed the bombs.
Violet stopped running, as the horse beast came to a halt. Then an implosion was heard, as the Soaring Rapid's shoulders, neck, and mouth jerked. Smoke started seeping out of the Soaring Rapids mouth, as it's eyes were widened in surprise, as well as Violet's eyes. Then the Soaring Rapid lowered it's head, as it slowly approached Violet, while she stood in place since the beast didn't seem threatening. The Soaring Rapid stood about a foot in front of Violet, and then it sat down, waiting. Violet arched an eyebrow, questionable to the beast's actions, and then she realized what was going on.
"You want... this?" Violet asked the beast, as she took out a few explosives from her pocket.
The Soaring Rapid's tail started to wave back and forth, as it's ears rose up and it's mouth opened while panting. Violet threw a few more explosives into the Soaring Rapids mouth, as the beast closed it's mouth and then the explosives imploded in it's mouth.
The Soaring Rapid stood up, as it turned it's body towards Violet, signaling for her to get on it's back.
"Wow. Who would have thought?" Violet said, with a smile, as she walked forward to get on the Soaring Rapid's back.
Violet was able to get back to the original place where everyone was before the Soaring Rapids came, while riding on the one that was formerly chasing her.
"I wonder where the others are? I hope they're okay," Violet said, as her horse turned his head towards her.
"Let's look for them, Thunder," Violet said, and her horse, that she named Thunder, nodded.
"That won't be necessary," Paul said, as he came into the room on his horse, as well as the others on their horses.
Violet turned towards them with Thunder, and she smiled in relief and asked,
"You guys are alright! How did you tame them?"
"Believe me, it wasn't easy," Charlie said.
"I thought I was in a rodeo with this one," Kelly said, as she patted her horse's neck.
"How'd you tame your beast?" Tommy asked Violet.
"Apparently, Thunder likes eating explosives," Violet said, as Thunder nodded.
"Thunder huh? Hm... I will call my horse... Slammer!" Rex said with a smile, as Slammer neighed in approval.
"Hm... What should I call mine?" Tommy thought out loud.
"We'll think of names in a minute. Right now we need to get to that church," Kelly said, getting everyone back on track.
"Yeah, and I think I have an idea," Charlie said with smile, as the others looked towards him.
