Flash yawned. He'd been flying for well over a few hours. As it was already 2:00 in the Afternoon. Not really using his Super speed to it's max by this point. Flying as fast as your everyday airplane. But he was exhausted. More than ever before. He hadn't had much sleep since "The Incident" and truly it was beginning to take a toll on him.
He felt a little light headed and he fought his eyes so they'd stay open. But still, he was managing.
"Man how do Pilots even manage to do this."
But. He was in luck. Looking at the Radar he wasn't that far. Just a good ten minutes and he'd be there. He formed a weak. Tired smile. "Alright..." His smile faded away as he was about to fall asleep again. Closing his eyes and snoring.
But because of his own snore. He woke right back and he quickly fought it. Opening his eye till they were wide. Not wanting to doze off in mid air. "Come on Sentry! Just a...few...more...Kilometers."
Flash decided to up the ante. Putting a little more Ki into his speed. Just going a little faster to hopefully try and get there without fully dozing off. Ignoring the event from a few seconds ago.
APPLELOOSA
The western town of Appleloosa. One of the most impressive towns ever built as it holds the record of fastest town built by man and woman. Well...Unofficially that is. It was like a mix of Brexilton.
Brexilton because: Of it's old timey feel. Being an all western town. With it's dirt roads and it's many farms and different establishments.
It wasn't so much like Canterlot as like Brexilton. Technology wasn't as big of a emphasis. The most they had were Cameras and Farm Equipment. No more, no less. That's the Appleloosa expirence.
Flash just so happened to have landed there as The Dragon Radar was picking up the coordinates of the Dragon Ball. Saying it to be right here. "Alright, looks like this is it."
Flash landed on the ground. Right in front of the Sign that funnily read out the name "APPLELOOSA"
Flash put turned off the Dragon Radar. Putting it in his bag. Then grabbing his Journal and Pen. "Well might as well do my homework while I'm here." Opening the first Page. He printed down the words Appleloosa. Glancing his head back to view so he could walk into the town.
And well, upon doing that. It was completely empty. No one around and No one in sight. Flash arched an eyebrow to that. "Uh...HELLO!?" His voice echoed through the empty street. So much so that a tumbleweed passed by. "Odd...No one's around. Maybe it's abandoned or something." His eyes widened. Looking back at his journal as that was a perfect thing to say in his Journal. "Alrighty...Entry 1..."
It was there that. Somebody lurked in the shadows. Hiding all his features. But what we do know is that they were a male because of the huge bushy mustache that was a part of silhouette and that he was holding some sort of firearm.
Flash stopped again. He didn't write anything but he realized he shouldn't come to conclusions that easily. "Wait a minute. I can Energy Sense. Maybe this place isn't actually abandoned." Closing his eyes. He let his Ki be his vision.
Opening them again. Everything went dark. Or as he would say. "Looks like Energy Vision should do the trick."
And the trick it did. Because upon doing that. Flash saw a bunch of glowing energy all huddled up in different buildings. All of the respective ones. It made him again arch his brow. Wondering what everyone was doing.
The Silhouette slowly came out of the shadows. Slowly approaching Flash while spinning the barrel to his revolver as it made it known in the sunlight.
Flash though still oblivious. Commented. "I wonder why everyone's all inside at this time..." That's when his eyes widened. Now sensing energy coming right towards him. Albeit not anything too large.
But, he was too late to turn around.
The man pointed his revolver at Flash. Making the muzzle touch his head. "Howdy there partner..."
Flash's eyes widened. Instead of being scared. He smiled. As finally someone had come out to greet him. "Oh man you don't know how relieved I am to hear you say that. Turning around. Oblivious to the threat that was made to him. He grabbed the man's hand. And shook it. "Like let me tell you. Abandoned cities are just the worst. They give me the creeps you know."
The Man. Grey skinned with a black bushy mustache, a Stetson hat and western clothing. Curled his lip. Arching one eyebrow to what was happening. But he the smiled. Deciding to play along. "Well don't worry son. Cause you ain't gonna have to be here anymore."
Flash let go of the man's hand. His smile faded away and he arched an eyebrow. "What? Well I just got here and I...I..." He looked at the revolver that The Man was pointing at him. Looking utterly confused as in Canterlot...well they didn't have guns. "What is that?"
The Man chuckled. Ready to pull the trigger. "Let's just say that this is yer end son."
A person. Peaked his head out from a window. His eyes were widened as he saw Flash being threatened at gun point by the Bandit. The one who had caused everyone to run inside. He muttered. Quivering a lot. Speaking in a male and southern accented voice. "O-Oh no."
The Man pulled the trigger to the gun. Shooting right at Flash's chest. Emphasis on At.
Flash's eyes widened. "Ow!" He yelped. Moving away.
Doing that made the Bandit widen his eyes. There was a hole in Flash's shirt. But there was no hole in Flash himself. "What in god's name."
Flash looked down at his shirt. Seeing the hole that was created. He looked up at the man and glared at him. "HEY! This was my only shirt! And I like this shirt too man what the heck!?"
Braeburn. The name of the Person who was watching from the window. A male with a dirty blonde mullet, amber skin and green eyes. Widened his eyes to the scene. Witnessing all of that. He looked back at everyone else who was hiding with him. Addressing what he just saw. "Did y'all see that?"
One of the people hiding. A girl with light pink skin and long orange hair. Well, she retorted to that. Speaking with the same southern accent. "Uh...No. We've been hiding here."
The Bandit looked at his gun and back at Flash. Stammering quite a bit. "Y-Y-You shouldn't be walking on yer feet right now boy!"
Flash arched an eyebrow. "Wha-"
But before he could finish the bandit again shot the Revolver.
Flash's eyes widened to that. His Super Speed went off and his surroundings went into slow motion. So, the Bullet was moving a lot slower. Though still smoothly. Flash narrowed his eyes on the bullet. Walking over towards it while everything was still in slow motion. He caught it with ease. Accidentally crushing it in his hand. Still though, inspecting it. Not even knowing what it is. "What in the world is this?"
Flash deactivated his Super Speed so his surroundings went normal again. The Bandit however, he didn't even know Flash was moving in super speed. To him it looked he teleported from one point to another.
His eyes widened again. Dropping his gun from his hand shaking he walked back. Accidentally stumbling back as a result of his own fear.
Flash noticed this. Seeing the man fall. It confused him quite a bit. But, he asked the man if he was okay. "Uh. Are you okay?"
He stammered again. Pointing at Flash while his hand was shaking. "Y-Y-You! TH-This ain't the last you heard of me?"
Flash began approaching the man. "What do you mean."
Because the man was startled out of his mind he booked it. Running away as Flash got closer. Much to Flash's confusion. So Flash tried calling out to him. "Wait!" He looked down. Seeing the revolver. "Uh! You forgot-" He knelt down to pick it up. Holding the handle by his fingers. Letting it dangle. "well whatever this thing is!"But it was no use. The man was already gone. Flash arched an eyebrow. Looking at the gun. He dropped it. Not really knowing what to do with it. "Well that was odd."
But suddenly. Flash's eyes widened. As he heard what could be described as footsteps coming out of each building. And they were coming fast. Real fast. So much so that Flash could sense multiple power levels going crazy with movement from in their.
He opened his mouth to comment. But...
He was a little too late. As multiple people just came bursting out of all the buildings. Making Flash's eyes widened. His whole posture go stiff out of being startled. "Holy Fu-" They all lunged for Flash. Immediately all grabbing him and throwing him up in the air. As they were celebrating. Flash yelped as he didn't know what was going on. Again further commenting. "WHAT'D I DOOOOOO?!"
They all caught Flash running him towards the nearby bar. Still much to Flash's confusion and a little fear as he didn't know what was about to happen.
When they went inside. They finally put Flash down. And with that. Flash immediately commented. "L-LOOK! I...DON'T KNOW WHAT I DID BUT I'M SORRY!?"
That's when Braeburn. The guy who had watched from the window. Grabbed Flash. Shaking the life out of him. Laughing out of happiness. "YOU SAVED US!"
Flash responded. Arching an eyebrow. Changing his startled expression to confused. Really confused. "I...Did?"
"YA DARN RIGHT YA DID!" Braeburn beamed. "OH MAN. YOU DON'T KNOW HOW GREATFUL ALL O' US ARE RIGHT NOW!"
"I...Don't what's going on to be honest."
When Braeburn let Flash go. He put his hand out to shake Flash's hand. "I'm Braeburn. Braeburn Apple. What's yer name stranger?"
Flash. A little hesitant. Grabbed Braeburn's hand and shook it. "Umm...Flash. Flash-" Braeburn shook Flash's hand hard. Interrupting him as Braeburn strong grip caught him off guard. Though he managed to blurt out his last name. "SE-N-Tree! Braeburn eventually let go of Flash's hand. Letting Flash regain his composure as he repeated that last part. "Flash Sentry."
"Well Howdy do Flash!" Braeburn beamed.
"Right...Umm. So. Who exactly was that? And why dud he run away"
"Oh-ho. Buddy do I have a story to tell you." His eyes widened upon calling Flash buddy. So he made sure to get his permission. "I-I can call you buddy right?"
Flash. At this point was trying to figure out what was going on. So he shrugged. "Umm...Sure I guess."
Braeburn's grin grew wider. "WELL BUDDY I HAVE A STORY TO TELL YOU!" Braeburn turned around to address the towns people. "HEY EVERYONE! FOOD ON ME!"
With that everyone cheered. Including Braeburn. Meanwhile, Flash...well he was trying to figure out what was going on.
"What have I gotten myself into?"
