Hi! Hyena King here! This is pretty self-explanatory, so I won't bore you with the details. So, without further ado, here's chapter 11!
Thunder and Lightning met up with Sly just as the fight inside took place.
"What the heck is going on?" Sly asked, eyeing the glowing lights coming from the ball room.
"A light show." Thunder replied honestly, more or less. Sly stared at him, then shrugged it off.
"Alright, just help me with this." He said.
And so they scaled the roofs of the city with the skills they learned from the last time they were in that world. Somehow, Fluttershy had rejoined them, (Actually, Sly took her with them to help out with the Elephant guards.) And was currently being carried by Lightning, who groaned his disapproval. When they reached a tower, Bentley contacted them.
"Guys, Murray and I can't get inside the palace unless you lower the drawbridge."
"Love to, pal, but the winch is all locked out. Know where we can find the keys?" Sly responded.
"The key guards have recently taken position around the palace. Sneak in, pick all their pockets, and sneak back here to the locked down winch."
Sly then turned to Thunder and Lightning. "Thunder, you take the left. Lightning, the right." The brothers nodded, and then Sly turned to Fluttershy. "Fluttershy...Stay here." Fluttershy nodded weakly, and then stayed where she was.
It was all too easy really. Sly just used his old fashioned Cooper moves to pick the guards pockets, Thunder knocked them out using his hooves, and Lightning was flashing the keys away faster than the guards could blink. They soon made it back, holding their stolen keys, to the winch. As soon as they did so, Murray came in.
He quickly made his way over to an absent turret, Where Bentley spoke up again. "That copper," He began, mentioning towards a helicopter flying over them. "Is a menace to all our future aerial operations while on this job."
"Yeah, it's covered in missiles and guns and stuff." Murray responded.
"Now be a team player and take it out with that rusty Pre-war turret."
"OK." Murray gasped suddenly. "Why don't we let Fluttershy handle this?"
"OK." Said the yellow Pegasus, who happened to be right next to him.
"Hang on Murray-"
Bentley didn't get a chance to argue as Murray helped Fluttershy into the turret. "Don't worry. I had a potatoe gun once, this should work the same!"
"So long as I,m helping."
As Fluttershy settled in, Bentley instructed her in how to use it. Sly, Thunder and Lightning watched this with barely concealed worry. Fluttershy began shooting, a little tentatively at first, then began to shoot like a pony possessed.
It was rather short. Even when the copper began to fire missiles, Fluttershy shot them all down like a pro. She had also begun to laugh like a maniac, shooting like there was no tomorrow. In no time at all, the copper went down. But she still continued to fire regardless. Eventual, Murray pulled her out, the pony putting up a fierce fight as he did so, even giving him a black eye. Fluttershy seemed to regain her sanity when she was off the turret, looking into her stunned friends faces.
"What?" She asked in genuine confusion.
There you go. The big finale's coming up, don't you worry. R&R please!
