Kind of a cliff hanger, or rather a statue faller ending last chapter! I hope you liked it because here the next chapter!
Head Hunter hit something soft. He was wounded, but whatever he landed on took most of the hit. He got up and looked down to see that he landed on Scout. He reached down to help his friend up, when the 'friend' hit him in the face!
Hurt bad, Head Hunter toppled to the ground. There was a struggle above him, but he could even see what was happening. He heard Scout's voice, distorted. He felt something tough the hand his rifle was in.
A shot hired off, and Head Hunter was suddenly healed and rejuvenated. Apparently, Scout, the Real Scout, had covered a changeling with Mad Milk, and made Head Hunter shoot it to regain Heath.
"Thanks, mate!" He said, then swung his Tribesman's Shiv. Scout ducked, and the Shiv beheaded a Changeling.
As Scout ran off, Head Hunter felt a strange vigor in his blood. His hood was up, and so was his veil. He grabbed his rifle and fired a single round.
It hit a changeling in the head, flinging the disguised head flying. Same with the next one, and the next one. Head Hunter reached his Rifle's 'focus,' and it didn't run out as the kills kept coming in.
But so did the changelings...
Suddenly, the Army of Changelings retreated. Head Hunter looked over to where Scout was fighting, to see that he appeared to be wrestling with the beast that attacked the Marksman earlier. Head Hunter could now see the beast the attacked him. Fur Black as night, with the wings of a Vulture, and Eyes that looked like they could steal your very soul.
Before anyone could really do anything, Scout ran toward the trap with the so called 'Rainbow Dash' behind him. Even though a few adjustments had to be made on the trap, Scout stalled the corrupted pony, and then lead her straight into the trap. Medic followed them inside, though the others stopped and caught their breath.
Head Hunter dropped his rifle to his side, and leaned against the side of the monument. The fact that they captured her meant that the biggest threat was gone, and now he could... Suddenly, a large THUD came from the trap. HeadHunter looked over at Garvel, and they both ran down the steps to the trap.
When they made it to the bottom, Head Hunter saw that the trap door was open, and 'Rainbow Dash' was threatening to break Medic's head in with 'her' hooves.
Well how the hell did- Suddenly, the Pony's eyes met with Head Hunter's. it was only for a brief moment, but Head Hunter could almost feel her hatred wash over him. He was paralyzed.
Scout looked at him, clearly wanting advice, but Head Hunter could only stare. He must have said something, because Scout acted like he did.
Head Hunter finally regained his senses, to see that Scout had all but given up, and was ready to sacrifice himself for his friend.
Head Hunter threw his gaze to the floor to avoid eye contact with anyone.
"You have to kill her."
Scout Started yelling at him, but the last Warrior Head Hunter had yet to officially meet, Zaveron, yelled back at Scout, and threw him a shot gun.
The Bominomicon, escorted by two ponies, suddenly walked down the stairs to the trap. One was purple, the other green. The purple one tried to intervene with what Scout was about to do, but Garvel used magic to create a wall to keep her out. Elves could use magic, by the way, which at this point, was within the 'believable zone' for Head Hunter.
Head Hunter heard Scout's shotgun fire, and he lowered his hood, removed his glasses. The rest of the world seemed to black out, leaving Head Hunter to himself...
So much for 'a peaceful and calm society...'
