private Welcome to Exile

[Glaceon 793]

Starbolt got up and walked around, she heard new voices so she turned and saw Trench and a bunch of new ponies talking. The new ponies wore royal guard armor so Starbolt assumed Trench knew them. "Hello? Trench who are these?" She asked Trench as she walked up to them.

[NinjaCPU 270]

Relámpago interjected on Starbolt's question, "Those are Trench's men who supposely helped him in stopping Celestia." He shook his head, "I don't believe so, however. Since the Princess is over a millennium old and probably has seen too many traps to count. I think you're pulling the trigger pretty fast." Relámpago said.

Trench lifted his left hoof and slowly waved it from left to right. "All part of the plan," he said, "Jack lost that fight so we could win. Celestia will soon notice a new addition to her private quarters. I wonder if she likes spiders."

 

------------------------

 

The streak of blood that Jack made on the floor had completely vanished. In its place, was a small, spiderlike creature made of blood, with only one eye. It scurried under a bookshelf next to a pile of debris and waited.

Usaf muttered under his breath about the absurdity of what Trench was saying and cursed magic for escaping his grasp. he walked over to the shelter and told misty " There are a few new ponies that have just come into camp. might wont to keep an eye on them they are with Trench but i don't trust them."

[Bari 7,023]

Misty nodded absently. She was growing tired with this place. Four days here and she had been wounded during battle. She'd keep an eye on the new ponies, but only just barely. If anything, she thought she could trust Trench. He hadn't shown to be too much of a problem yet.

[Opalicious 799]

Fire Opal went up to the talking ponies. He liked to know what was going on, but he saw another two ponies among them. "Did these two also appear out of the blue?" Fire Opal didn't really care about the answer, so he asked another question that he wanted answered. Just two words, but in moments like these, they were important. "What now?"

[NinjaCPU 270]

Celestia gave a big hmph, she knew what was there and laughed at their endeavor. Do they think of me as a foal? Such reckless soldiers. If only they stay in line, all of this wouldn't end in such....pain. Celestia saw the spider that appeared and scurried away. She saw the figure and laughed. Seems like their trying to do one last strike. Pity, that'll be useless. Her horn glowed once again....

Relámpago sighed, "I think you should worry about surviving here than worry about what's outside the dome." He walked away as well. Instead of a plan to do something to help the whole. It was than interrupted by Trench's idea that he can defeat Princess Celestia with his soldiers with...spiders? What are they thinking? This isn't the time to worry about such things. He walked in the shelter with Usaf and Misty. Usaf told his displeausre about the new ponies. Relámpago just walked in away from both Misty and Usaf. He slowly pulled off his mask, away from both of them. The tightness around the mask may have gotten to his head. He took a deep breath. His eyes slowly gave calmed look once again. As if he just got out of work from a job he hated.

 

"Don't look over here," He said calmly. Now all of his idea of helping the group were stopped and instead he made a snide comment about Trench and his men, "Those ponies have delusions of grandeur."

[Bari 7,023]

Misty regained her focus. Relampago had said something. Something about Trench and the new ponies. "Er, what was that?" she asked, sensing disharmony amongst the group. Though she was incapacitated, she felt it her duty to try and keep them together. Slowly and painfully, she struggled to her hooves. She delicately neared Relampago, but far enough away that she couldn't see his face. She tried her best to respect his wishes about facelessness.

Ronald did a few more airial spins to get rid of the guards. Rocky shouted, "This is not a good idea! I do not want to die! I want to be alive, or a cowpony!"

 

"Don' worry little fella'" Ronald said in a slurred voice, "I drunk better when I fly!" They began losing altitude quickly.

 

The spider watched Celestia closely with its only eye.

 

(I'm ending this very soon.)

Celestia had a malicious grin on her face. The guards had left to take care of the commontion outside. She didn't really care. She wanted to destroy the final piece of the chessboard. Her horn glowed once again as the magical drill started to blast the spider. "Checkmate." She said.

Relámpago really didn't want to repeat himself once again. Though he wasn't exactly the smartest pony, he knew that phase. He would think everypony would know that phase. He gave a frustrated sigh and clarified, "I meant to say that Trench and his goons think they'll be able to destroy Celestia by themselves. I think it's a little hard to destory something as strong as Celestia." He didn't see much of Misty's intention. He just wanted to relax for a bit.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Scout stood up, "Motion for meeting ajournal; council needs rest," he says, wincing as his wing brushed his side. Suck it up Scout, you've felt worse. His vision blurs and refocuses, causing him to reconsider; it must be deeper than I thought... he thinks, drawing in a ragged breath.

[Bari 7,023]

Misty became disgusted with Relampago. He was showing weakness. She herself had never shown the hurt she felt. She smiled through the pain and kept fighting. It was the least she could expect from the luchador. He was supposed to be the leader. He was supposed to take charge. She shook away the grogginess and spoke firmly. "So what? You're just going to let them live in a fantasy world? I'd think someone like you would have tried harder. The way you lay back and sigh is not becoming of a leader at all. If it were me, I'd set them straight. But I'm not a big tough earth pony like you, able to command respect. That's what I think about this whole situation. I've sat back long enough, watching us fail little by little. What exactly have we accomplished? Nothing, besides building shelters, gathering food, and driving off attackers. In the end, that all amounts to nothing. We don't even know what the situation is outside this dome. Or, for that matter, inside this dome. I may have gotten hurt, but I'm not giving up. I think you should take charge like a real leader..." Throughout the whole speech, Misty was trying to hold back tears. It had only been 4 days. 4 days trapped here. Would they get free? "So, what's are next plan of action?" she demanded, calming down a little.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Scout narrowed his eyes, "Building shelter, gathering food, and defending ourselves are important. Not only that, but necessary. If we can't do that, it doesn't matter what we do; we die," he gritted his teeth and rose to his full height, which was still shorter than everypony else, "I very much so think that survival is priority one at the moment."

Relámpago took every word Misty said as it slowly sank in. He say nothing after her long winded speech. The mask was held on his hoof. His face didn't give any remorse of what he said beforehand. He didn't feel bad of what he said. Instead, he sighed one more time, "What are you my marefriend? You think just because I have some sort of immense strength that I should care about what everypony thinks? Hell, if you really want this job, go ahead and take it." He said. It wasn't exactly the best thing to do is to push Relámpago when his mask is off.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Scout blinked once, then twice, then three times. "... Mask off, Mask on, Mask off..." he shakes his head. Then his vision splits. He begins licking his lips; Water..., he thinks, looking around. He stumbles to the lake and begins drinking. Then he washes the mud off his side and winced. A long, blackish scratch ran down his side. He took some moss and a leaf and wrapped it around him, using the moss as a buffer between the leaf. Then he tied the ends together. He drank a little more and came back.

[Bari 7,023]

Misty stumbled back in surprise. She had expected him to regain his resolve. Not try to fight back. Misty huffed an immense sigh and went back to where she'd been on the ground moments before. A single tear streamed down her cheek. "Do you really think I could possibly be the leader?! Me, the useless one?! What have I done, hmm?! You let me nominate you as leader. You could of objected. Yet you went with it. I looked up to you. Somepony who I could trust to get us out of here. And 'marefriend'? Really now. Perhaps you should just put that mask back on. It helps hide who you are after all." she shouted, letting loose some of her pent up emotions. At that point her crying increased in volume slightly. The tears trickled down slowly. "Don't try to comfort me. I don't need your sympathy..." she replied before he could even say a word.

 

Somehow Misty knew she was walking on eggshells. But she didn't care. Why care anyway? The one pony they thought they could trust, Celestia, had imprisoned her own subjects. If was as if a mother chose to lock away her children just because they wouldn't do every single thing she said. What kind of leader does that? Hmm, leader... What a pointless concept. Why let one pony lead anyone? They should all just lay down and die. That would solve all their problems.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Scout heard the breakdown and turned pail.Emotional breakdown... Does this always happen? What do I do? I don't understand what I'm supposed to do! Don't panic, don't panic... it's just pony relationships... Aiiiiii! He flies off into a tree. Find a happy place, find a happy place...

[NinjaCPU 270]

Relámpago gave a big 'hmph'. "Leadership isn't the one who is the strongest mare in the group. There are the ones who can be able to push forward form any odds. Willing to risk their lives for each and every part of the team. I haven't been able to due that from the looks of you right now." Relámpago looked down on the mask. "I'm just a damn earth pony. I'm nothing but a big bloke with strength. That's all I've ever been..." Relámpago put his mask back on than turned back to Misty. He saw the cracked red lines that showed that she was tearing up. He said nothing, the look on her face told her his expression that she's been holding all of this up till now.

 

"That's my strength..."

[Bari 7,023]

Misty hid her face. She'd promised herself she'd never show anyone her emotional issues. "It would be best if you told the others that. How about you go back out there and do something. I'm still very much in pain from these wounds. I may not show it, but it hurts to move. Go on, don't just stare at me. I'll be fine. I'm a tough pony..." she said rather darkly. There was almost a twinge of guilt and laughter to her voice.

 

Crying had really helped. Letting out the emotions had made her feel better. And Relampago hadn't immediately left when she spoke her mind. He was filled with self pity as well. He felt useless as an earth pony. His only purpose in life involved physical strength. That could wear away at anypony. But she was only guessing. The mask itself seemed to act as a physical barrier against outside analysis. He had his way, she had her's. Smiles and masks. Not much difference, really.

[NinjaCPU 270]

Relámpago nodded, he really didn't want to converse anymore with his mask on. The mask really got him back on track to push forward once more. Though he could tell that she wasn't fully alright he decide that it would be better to give her space. "Just feel better, hopefully in a due time you'll be back in full condition." Relámpago said, he tried to encourage her, though the words would probably be useless. "Maybe we'll get out of here soon enough..."

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Scout was still trying to figure out socialness. So, when somepony screams, they're scared. Yelling is angry. Moaning is pain. Laughter is happy. But then... They can fake it? And what's love supposed to be? I'm so confused! I knew it, I shoulda listened to Starbolt and gone back to school. But then, THEY would be there... He shivers.

[irobern2857 95]

Usaf started walking away from the group. he flew up to a tree. he was suddenly very tired and the raging emotions around the camp weren't helping.

"wonderful, we have two ponies fighting for control but neither want to be in control, one tree huger that can't function around more then 2 ponies, three royal guards with no clear intention to help or to hurt us, and i valenteered to work with them. stupidity is fling everywhere."

Usaf said out loud.

[Bari 7,023]

Misty grunted softly. She had lost interest in Relampago. He wasn't the pony Misty had want him to be. She saw he was just as imperfect as the rest of them. Get out of here? That was a laugh. Celestia would rule for all time, and they'd remain here forever. There was no chance of freedom. Nothing mattered anymore. Yet, at the back of her mind, the more assertive and sarcastic Misty raged. She didn't want give up. What kind of pony just lays down dies? A weak one, that's who.

 

"Just do your job. Then perhaps we can get a better look of our surroundings. Didn't it even occur to you there might be other groups? Maybe we could join up with them? Of course, we'll never know since we've just been sitting around for the past day." she said with little conviction. Misty gazed up at the luchador with mild hatred. She felt that he could of done better. "Do you hate me? Because I don't think I'm very fond of you...." Misty hoped that it didn't sound too harsh. She didn't want Ralampago to dislike her. She was a bit unbearable and enjoyed how she had spoken her mind, but it didn't mean she'd meant all of it.

[Octavia's Bow 2,035]

Scout cleared his throat, "Umm, that's a very awkward way to show love..." he says, a bit more loudly then he intended. He coverd his mouth, wide-eyed and fed through the forest. He managed to grab a basket. Might as well be useful... Here's a good bush. Raspberries!

[NinjaCPU 270]

Relámpago chuckled. It seemed that her persona changed quickly when his mask was shown off. He had known of the changes he has when it was pulled off. However, he accepted them just like he would always. He didn't know what to with the information though. It seems that she really didn't like him.

 

Relámpago ears twitched when he heard of Scout's words. He couldn't help but gave off chuckle. "You're asking to create a search team when we have some broken down teammates?" He referred to the few who have been beaten by the wolves. "We don't have the resources to start doing such a thing. Unless you want to be defenseless and than some other animals tries to kill somepony yet again. Yeah, not going to happen." He ignored Misty's question. He wasn't sure if Scout's word were true if this was love. However, it didn't seem like it one bit.
