Before we get into it, I proudly introduce a new OC
Patch Work - a light tan unicorn filly with dark brown mane and tail. She has sap green eyes, and wears a beautiful scarf. Submitted by: Auto-Assist
Two stout ponies barreled straight for the stunned Cinder Gold sitting at the back of Miss Sweet Pea's class. Charging through the classroom like snowplows, sending desk's and ponies flying into the air.
Cinder Gold squeezed her eyes shut and braced for impact.
Sitting besides the golden earth pony, Wolfee exhaled before he lunged at the two charging ponies. He didn't know exactly what he was doing; his adrenaline and instinct guided him forward. He flew at the first pony, driving his front hooves into his stomach, knocking the wind out of him. The second, confused, spun around, only to receive a backside buck-kick from Wolfee, knocking him across the room.
The first pony was regaining composure, but not before Wolfee leapt high up and landed hard onto of the bully with a gleeful smile.
"Taking care of business – EEEK!" Wolfee yelped in sudden surprise as his backside began to float into the air, followed by the rest of his body. He tumbled uncontrollably by some unseen force a few feet from the floor.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Hawthorn trumpeted, trotting into the classroom, his unicorn horn glowing green. "What in Tartarus is going on here? Really Buff and Tuff, you guys got schooled by a 12 year old? I'm disappointed in you two."
Behind Hawthorn, Bramble trotted in with a length of chain around his flank, followed by a sulking looking Lighting Runner ambling in slowly, his head low. Lightning Runner saw Wolfee and quickly averted his eyes away from the pony floating in the air, desperate not to make eye contact.
Wolfe recognized the white pegasus. He never really talked to him and didn't know Lightning Runner all that well either. Only now he felt betrayed seeing him with Hawthorn. Another one of Hawthorn's cronies.
This made him mad.
"Hawthorn! Let me down so I can knock the snot outa ya," yelled Wolfee, now upside down.
"HoHoHo! Big words from a guy without a leg to stand on," Hawthorn laughed. His green glowing horn brightened as he magically turned Wolfee's forelegs in one direction and his rear legs in the other, twisting the young pony with wrenching pain till a tortured scream escaped him.
"STOP IT!" Cinder Gold pleaded.
"Oh, Cinder Block, I almost forgot about you." Hawthorn looked to Bramble and said sternly, "Bramble: heel."
Bramble sat his hindquarters down with a thud.
"Bramble: sick-her!"
In an instant Bramble bolted into the air flying loops around Cinder while wrapping her in the chain he carried. He skidded to a stop and slapped on a padlock. Cinder tried to wriggle out of the bindings but was pinned to the desk's seat. Hopeless to escape from.
"Good boy Bramble."
Cinder Gold screamed at the brown pegasus, "Bramble, let me go right now!"
His ears flattened against his head and his lower lip trembled. "O-okay… I'm sorry"
"You moron, NO! Bad Bramble!" Hawthorn spat, stopping him before he had released Cinder.
"Come on Hawthorn, fight me like a real stallion and put up your dukes, you coward," Wolfee taunted, waving his hooves like a boxer.
"So you still want to fight do ya? Fine. You know what, I could use the work out. I won't even use my magic on you." Hawthorn's glowing horn faded, dropping the little brown unicorn on his back.
"But Lord Hawthorn, he's tough," Buff said.
Hawthorn shot a scolding glance. Buff and Tuff flinched with shame and embarrassment as they scampered away.
Wolfee slowly pulled himself up on shaky legs.
"Don't do it Wolfee," Cinder bawled.
"It's okay Cinder. I'm going to put this prick in his place and end this craziness."
Hawthorn rolled his eyes. "Are you ready?"
"You better believe I am." Wolfee crouched, ready to strike.
"Just don't hurt yourself on that desk right there, okay buddy." Hawthorn pointed.
"Huh?" Looking over just as a green glowing desk besides him flew up, catching Wolfee right in the face with an earsplitting smack. The class gasped. He stood there for a moment on the brink of conciseness, teetering back and forth before collapsing into a heap. Stars danced around his head. "Ooooow, did you see that guys! Right in the kisser. That was perfect timing!" Hawthorn laughed.
"WOLFEE!" Cinder cried.
"See I didn't use magic on him… I used magic on the desk." The class booed him. "Buff and Tuff, get this trash out of here and get him ready for the games." Kicking Wolfee's limp hoof.
Lightning Runner watched as Wolfee was dragged out into the hallway. Why didn't I do something? Or say something. I could have stopped it some how. But if I did, would it have been me being dragged out; getting ready for the games? Lightning Runner shook his head, overcome with guilt.
A weeping Cinder yelled hatefully, "what do you think your doing! You're nothing but a bully and once I get out of these chains I'm going to make you regret what you've done."
Hawthorn gestured to Bramble to open a closet door at the back of the classroom – directly behind Cinder Gold – and said, "tell it to the closet, Cinder Block." Arching his back, he bucked Cinder with all of his might, sending the desk and pony into the closet with a thunderous crash.
Bramble slammed the door shut. "You did it bro. Now that you've won what are you going to do next?"
"I'm going to go to –" Hawthorn was interrupted by a pencil hitting him in the head. "WHO DID THAT!"
A resilient, little filly stood out of her seat, with tears in her eyes, "Why are you being so mean to everypony?"
"Really kid. You just watched me beat the bananas outa these two losers and you throw a pencil at me?"
"You don't scare me, you're just a big dumb bully. You're not nice like Wolfee or Cinder," she said bravely.
"What's you name, kid?" Hawthorn slowly gaited towards the quivering filly.
"P-Patch Work."
"Well, Patch Work, let me tell you something about Cinder Block. She's not all that different than me. Yes. You see, she's done terrible things in the past too. She's just as 'mean' as I am. Do you know we used to work together as partners?" He said in a matter of fact tone.
Patch Work shook her head. "Y-you're lying."
Hawthorn smiled, leaning in close to the tan pony and softly said, "the truth is hard to except sometimes, isn't it?"
She looked down.
"Anyway." Hawthorn looked back. "Take this one here to the attic, I've got something special in mind for her. And if anyone else wants to disobey me, then their punishment will be much much worst."
Bramble took Patch Work out as she stuck her tongue out at him.
"Now someone find Onix Charmer. We've got a lot of work to do before the real fun begins." He sneered.
Notes: I want to thank everyone for all you're wonderful reviews.
skullcrusher206, I appreciate your constructive criticism.
On that note, I will answer any and all questions you post about Bully War's at the end of the of each chapter.
Prime example - fungusbrain1 asks (more or less): Why doesn't Coach Crush just buck down the door down in chapter 3?
Answer: He can buck that door till the cows come home, but doors and door frames in Equestria are hoof made out of solid, hard wood oak. You simple cannot buck down something made with so much love and care.
So if you have any curious question go ahead and hit me with that review and I'll get back to you in the next chapter.
