Chapter 8: meeting vanish
rainbow dash was standing in front of Clayton's door waiting for him to open it.
"Clayton please come out" there was no response.
"please. You can't believe what your sister said about you. It's not true. Your awesome and successful in your own way. Please come out" she said as she knocked on his door, there was still no response.
Everyone then came upstairs to see about him. Twilight looked at rainbow dash, "hey. How is he doing?" ask asked.
Rainbow dash sighed "I can't get him to come out of his room" she then laid her head on the door and tried to listen if she could hear him on the other side of the door, she listened for about 2 minutes and didn't hear anything.
Fluttershy then looked at dillon "oh my...I hope that Clayton is alright" she said as dillon then held her hand. She then looked at dillon who then turned to her, "he'll be ok. He just needs to cool off for a bit. I just hope that my cousin doesn't do anything stupid in there" he said as max then walked up to the door and looked at rainbow dash.
" rainbow dash. Maybe you should let me try to see if I could give it a try", she then nodded at him as she backed away from the door. As max then knocked on the door.
"come on Clayton. Please open the door. Were really worried about you" max said as he also didn't get a response from the other side of the door. Applejack then tapped on max's shoulder as he turned to her.
"yea applejack?".
"umm I reckon I might have an idea how to get the door open so we can talk to him".
"how?".
What she had said then made Corey, jack, sam, and dillon there eyes widen as jack then stood in front of her.
"applejack no way are you kicking down this door!" he said to her as she then frowned at him.
"why in the hay not? We need to talk to him. We can't have him feeling sad just because of what his older sister said about him. Were his family and family must stick together. She finished, what she said was true they needed to comfort Clayton, and they all wanted to help him no matter what. Jack then stepped aside from her as applejack then took off her bracelet transforming her back into her pony form.
She then turned over facing her flank at the door and lifted her back hoofs up and bucked the door open. As soon as the door swung open they all poked there heads into the room, they were all shocked to see that Clayton wasn't in his room.
Rainbow dash ran inside and looked all over the room for him but couldn't find one trace of him anywhere. She then fell to her knees and started to cry, as the girls walked over to her side to comfort there friend the boys all looked around the room to see if they could find there brony brother.
Sam then turned and looked at the open window.
"umm guys" he said making everyone look at him. He then pointed to the window.
"I think I know were he went".
Soon everyone then turned to what sam was pointing at and saw that clayton's window was open. They all then freaked out as they then ran downstairs to clayton' parents and Luna who was now in pony form who were all cleaning up the table.
Corey shouted "we got a problem!", both of clayton's parents and Luna looked at him as Luna placed the plates down with her magic.
"what's the problem?" Luna asked Corey.
Max then spoke "it's Clayton! He's gone!".
Hearing this made Luna's eyes widen.
"what! He's gone! But how?".
"we think that he might have got out threw his window".
Clayton's mother then fainted as the words left his mouth. Her husband picked her up in his arms and turned to the group. "this is not good. He hasn't done this in a long time" he said.
Twilight then stood in front of the group "do you think you might know where he might have went?".
He nodded and sighed "yes I do. When ever his sister always made him cry he would always go out to the forest at hunter avenue. He always went there to blow off steam" he finished.
"how far is it from the house?".
"46 miles from here".
Everyone then looked at each other as rainbow dash then spoke up, " I'm gonna go find him". Fluttershy then placed her hand on her shoulder "no will all go with you. Remember he is our family and won't let you do it alone". Rainbow dash closes her eyes and thinks, it was true what fluttershy said they were a family, and no matter what nobody leaves anyone behind. She then opened her eyes and nodded at her.
Everyone then walked over to the door and went to there cars except rainbow dash who took off her bracelet and changed into her pony form, rarity then looked at her as she got inside Corey's car.
"darling whatever are you doing?".
Rainbow dash started doing wing push ups as she then turned to her.
"I'm gonna go find Clayton".
"but darling you don't know your way around this world. How are you going to find him?".
Rainbow dash then stopped what she was doing and froze, it was true she didn't know her way around earth, nor would she be able to find which way the forest was at, she then lowered her head as her ears flopped down.
Dillon then walked over to her as he finished helping fluttershy into her seat. He keeled down to her as she looked up at him with her sad red eyes,
He then placed his hand on her head and messed up her hair as she moved his hand off her head chuckling a bit as he smiled at her.
"don't worry rainbow dash were gonna find him. That we promise you" he said as she then smiled more at him as he got to his feet and waved his hand for her to get into his ford mustang. She flew over to the car as he opened the back door for her to get inside, as he closed the door and got into the drivers seat and turned the car on he then drove from the sidewalk in front of sam.
He poked his head out to face them "ok guys just follow me I know were the forest is. Just make sure to keep following me alright", the other boys then gave him a thumbs up as they all then drove out of the small area and onto the highway.
THE FOREST
Clayton was sitting next to a tree with his katana next to his side. He was looking at the sky deep in thought as the words of his sister started to come up:
no your worse then that! Your a disgrace to this family! A virus to our aunt! And a disappointment to me! Why can't you act more like an eighteen year old! Why can't you get any good grades in your classes when you were in community collage! Why can't you get a job! Why can't you quit wasting your life sitting around on your ass! Why can't you stop hanging out with these poor people and get some real friends! Why can't you do anything right for once! Why can't you be more like me!".
Hearing those words again made him only made him mad, he tried to shake the words out of his head but they only kept coming back. Clayton then held his head down in sadness, as he looked at the ground he then heard footsteps in the grass. He still was looking down at the grass as he then glanced up at what the noise was, he then saw a man who looked like he was in his teens, as the man then stood over him a bit.
"well well well what a wuss" he said in a dark tone.
Clayton then looked up at the person "and you are?".
The boy smirked "my name is vanish. And I'm here to deliver a message to you".
Clayton then raised an eyebrow at him "what kind of message?".
"hmmm let me see here. Oh yes here it is" he then pulled out a machete which was the same length as his katana.
"I'm here to send you the message of death!" he said as he then raised his weapon and swung down at him, clayton dogged his attack and rolled behind vanish as he then dropped kicked him falling over face first.
As he started to get up he looked over at Clayton who had his eyes closed at him, vanish grinned at him "you know I'm gonna beat you in a few seconds", Clayton then pulled his katana off of his back and held it in front of his face as he then opened his eyes he slowly started to pull out his weapon from it's sheath.
As Clayton slowly pulled out his weapon he grinned at vanish "just who the hay do you think I am" he said to him as he then had his katana at his side at the ready. Vanish responded to his words "I think your a fool for trying to take me on!" he said as he then charged at him.
Clayton then showed off his cocky grin at him as he then charged at him "well the one thing that you should know about me is. I never run from my enemies!" he said as they then clashed there blades together smiling at each other darkly.
HIGHWAY
"wow this is so fun" pinky pie said as she was bouncing in her seat now back to her pony self. Jack looked at her.
"yea pinky it is. But remember that were here to find Clayton" he said to her as she then bounced into his lap. "okie dokie" she said as she then hugged him, as she held onto him she then started to move her hoofs on his chest a bit. Jack blushed at what she was doing and glanced down at her and up at the road.
"uhhh p-pinky pie" jack said "what...are you doing?".
Pinky pie still kept moving her hoofs on his chest as she then moved one of her hoofs down to his pants, she then looked down at his pants as she then poked at his groin with her hoof. Jack started to blush even more as he then started to let his manhood grow, pinky pie titled her head a bit at this she remembered twilight telling her about the human body in a book of myths but never really paid any real attention to it. She the leaned down and used her teeth to open the zipper on jack's pants while he was still driving, jack was now bright red as he heard his zipper go down.
"pinky. I really don't think that it's a good idea for you to be in the mood while I'm dri-" he stopped his sentence as then felt pinky pie's mouth over his cock, she then started to bob her head up and down as jack was moaning a bit.
"pinky pie" he said as he then saw the others get off on exit 99, he followed them as he was gritting his teeth trying not to pull over and let his lust take over. He then glanced at pinky pie who was still sucking him off, he then leaned back a bit in the drivers seat "oh man I really hope that we find Clayton soon" he thought to himself.
THE FOREST
Clayton and vanish were still clashing there swords at each other gritting there teeth as they fought. Vanish then slashed at clayton's chest making a large scar, Clayton ignored the wound as he then cut vanish's arm ripping off a piece of his skin In the prossess. Vanish then growled at him as he kept clashing with Clayton making his swings harder as hit as his katana with his machete, "this is not possible. It's been over 3 hours and I still haven't killed him yet. Is he really that strong?" he thought as he was caught off gaurd for a minute Clayton took that as his pertunity to attack him.
He slashed upward at vanish making a large cut onto his leg, vanish groaned in pain as he kneeled down. As he looked up at Clayton he saw a small smile on his face.
"never underestimate your enemies. No matter what they look like" he said to him.
Vanish only chuckled at this "true your right about that. But you just got lucky this one time".
"oh really now".
"yeah really".
Clayton then held his katana to his side "then consider this as me being lucky vanish" he then swung his katana at the side of his face cutting his left cheek open. Vanish then fell to the ground writhing in pain as Clayton put his katana back into it's sheath on his back.
Vanish then looked at him glaring "ahhh! You brat! I will get you for that!", Clayton then picked up his machete and turned to vanish who was still on the ground holding his cheek. His eyes then started to widen as Clayton then raised up his left arm as he then closed his eyes waiting for his death then heard the blade come down, as he slowly opened his eyes he saw that his machete was stuck into the ground next to his side.
He looked at his blade then looked up at Clayton who had his back turned with his arms crossed.
"why...why didn't you finish me off?" he asked him.
Clayton turned to him with his arms still crossed "because I know that you can do better".
"what do you mean?"
"I mean that I know than you can do better the next time that we meet".
Vanish snickered at his words "the next time that we meet you'll be dead".
Clayton only smiled "and that is something that I will be looking forward to one day with you".
Vanish then got to his feet "well it doesn't matter really. We are already going after the one thing that you all left behind".
Clayton tilted his head at him "what are you getting at!".
"you will see soon enough".
Before he could respond to his comment they both heard the sound of cars pulling up. Clayton turned to see his friends get out of there car doors and run to him, rainbow dash flew straight at him knocking him down as she then hugged and kissed him.
"Clayton! Oh I'm so happy your ok!" she said as she kissed his cheek, his friends all stood near him as he got up holding his favorite cyan pony. As he turned to face vanish he saw that he was gone.
"what the? Were is he?".
Rarity looked at him puzzled "were is who darling?".
He turned to her "vanish. He was right there a minute a ago".
Applejack then stepped forward "ah you were probably just imagining things".
Fluttershy then gasped at him as she covered her mouth.
"Clayton...what happened to you?" she asked pointing at his shirt with the huge scar. Everyone looked at him and gasped, rainbow dash looked at his chest as her eyes started to widen in horror.
She looked up at him "what happened? Are you hurt? Who did this to you?" she said as she held her hoofs around him tightly crying into his chest.
Clayton petted her head "it's alright rainbow dash I'm ok. It's just a...well a big scratch that's all. But don't worry I'm fine. I'm not going anywhere".
Rainbow whips her tears away and looks up at him.
"you promise?".
"I promise".
She then leaned up and kissed him deeply, as she wrapped her hoofs around his neck. Everyone sighed happily at the two embracing, as they stopped kissing they both looked into each others eyes. Max then cleared his throat as he then began to speak.
"ahem...well now that were all together now. How about we go home. Come on guys let's get going" they all nodded as Clayton then walked over to his chopper and got on it, as he started it up he felt rainbow dash's hoofs around his waist.
She then leaned up into his ear and whispered to him "when we get home I need your help with something" she then nuzzled her head on his shoulder as he blushed and revved up his motorcycle driving home.
GOVERNMENT HQ- BASEMENT
Back in the underground basement night shadow was watching the main twelve all go to there homes, as he then looked over to his left Side he saw vanish walk into the dim light in his alicorn form with a large scar on his left cheek.
Black haze saw his large wound and laughed at him "hahahah! How sad! The mighty vanish has been wounded by a human! He said still laughing.
Vanish started to get enraged "he got lucky! I swear the next time that he and I meet he won't be so lucky!" he snapped. Night shadow then sighed and raised his hoof.
"SILENCE VANISH!" he shouted in a royal canderlot voice. Vanish then backed away in fear, he hadn't heard night shadow use his royal canderlot voice in years. Night shadow then lowered his hoof, "it seems that the human that you fought with is going to be a real problem. It seems that we can't wait for discord to make his move with Lucy. So I vote that we switch to plan b instead".
Black haze then looked at him "and than would be?".
Night shadow grinned "to capture princess Luna!".
