open The Scattered Elements (RP)

"Right, you know what. So far all you have successful done is introduce yourselves, bicker and blow up a nerd's laboratory. I'm going where ever you are going just so I can help you not die as quickly as you originally would. Also, I might achieve one or two personal goals along the way."

 

Glacier's horn gave the glow as she moved the block of ice away from Addem Up.

 

"Now then, I believe the "Fighting Failures" here were about to explain the explosion that caused yet more disturbance. Can you only manage to do disturbance and noise?"

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"Shut it ice mare," Krein said as he shifted the heat he was causing towards Glacier. He finally dropped the heat wave, out of fear he might take it too far. "Once again scientist, why are you here? Do you even know what's been going on in the world, or have you literally been living under a rock?"

[Mephala 2,633]

"Considering he just came flying out of the ground, I'd assume the latter is correct," quipped Cora sarcastically, already bored of this conversation. It was ungodly hot, and she felt a tiny flutter of apprehension in her chest as she looked on into the forest. "Chat time's up, we should move. Let's not all be Gabby Gums, see."

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"I'd suppose you'd be right," the alicorn told Cora. "You," Krein roughly told Addem. "You're staying with us for now, can't have you running off when we know so little about you, and especially when times are as bad as now..."

 

~Everypony finally moved and entered into the dark forest. It was a bit cooler, but the air was still hot and rather humid. Shadows seemed to crawl everwhere as unknown creatures observed and folowed them around.~

 

"Anyone have an idea where Discord could've hidden Fluttershy? I've heard this forest is pretty large..."

[Addem Up 246]

Addem growls as they trot along. "I know what's been happening, thank you very much, and I've also been trying to fix it. At least, until SOMEpony waltzed in, throwing off waves of magical energy and overloading my capacity. Weren't you taught to control your magic?" He glared at the ice mare before adding, "Not that the unicorns were much better."

[qqq 218]

"Fluttershy! Why do you want to find that hermit? Although I imagine she could be hidden 6 feet under in a plastic bin liner." Glacier gave a giggle to herself. "No but seriously, even if you did find her, I doubt she would even speak to you, let alone follow you. Ever tried speaking to a cheese grater? Expect that level of exciting conversation."

[Flying Ace 142]

"i actully talked to Fluttershy a couple of times when I would help her out with the animarls I will tell you right now. Do. Not. Judge. A. Book. By. It's. Cover! Your be surprised how scary she can be when she wanted to, that and we need her to defeat discord since your not a element."

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"Elements of Harmony remember? We can't very well help in stopping Discord if we only rescue some of them. All six are needed to successfully work."

Kreinbahthur continued to walk along. The forest bothered him. Its dried up trees, much like the land they had left behind, reminded him too much of things he had done before. On top of that, they were all prone to catching fire in their withered state. He tried to distract himself by talking to Addem.

"If that's the case, I'm sure you can put your knowledge to good use by cooperating with all of us."

Addem's question about his magic made him grimace slightly. Where he was from, everypony was taughtnto develop and use a different kind of magic, older than other magics. If it had been the cause of the stallion's experiment mishap, then what if other things could easily detect him?

[Addem Up 246]

Addem pauses, then sighs and says, "I might as well. To tell the truth, I wasn't nearly as far along with my research as I would have liked. Besides, this might actually be a chance for me to actively stop what's going on. While I probably could have found a way, this makes more sense." He chuckles slightly, then says, "I'm Addem, by the way. Addem Up."

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"Kreinbahthur," the alicorn said with a nodding gesture. He stopped in his tracks though, when he thought he heard the sounds of surprised and angered snarling.

"Meh, we should keep moving either way... Oh, do you have any idea where the draconequus could've stashed Fluttershy?"

[ReGen 1,466]

Supernova, still unsure about what's going on, looked around, slightly uneasy at the sight of the dead trees and leaves. "I wonder if their garden worker's having a nice vacation. " He muttered softly, but still loud enough so some of the other ponies could hear.

[Senor Citizen 516]

Standoff had his target. Times were tough, and no one seemed to need a mercenary these days. He wasn't proud of the skill, but his years as a freelancer had given him prowess as a pickpocket. He snuck up behind one of the members of the group, snatched a bag, and the chase was on.

(Please don't just cheap-trick with the magic, that's annoying)

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"Someone missing a bag?", Krein asked with a smirk as he prepared to take off into a sprint. When he did, he noticed how swiftly the thief ran. He was clearly trained, a soldier perhaps?

"What's the hurry?!"

Krein felt a rush of adrenaline, and he envisioned an escaped pony who had escaped the dungeons of his homeland.

[Mephala 2,633]

Cora glanced down and frowned. "Ass," she said with a sigh, and she proceeded to take off after him.

However, there was one problem; Cora had forgotten the problem with the forest, and as soon as she entered a single inch she fell over as exhaustion rocked her. Struggling to stand up, fuzzy images swirled around before her eyes, and as she tried to focus a  strange shadow flitted about.

It must be from the pony, she thought, but in her heart she knew she was wrong. Dead wrong.

 

Snow had entered the forest already, ahead of the others, and when the pony sped past her she jolted a little and, out of habit, formed a swift protective barrier about herself.

[Senor Citizen 516]

Standoff slowed to a stop, panting. Looked like it was his lucky day. This bag was heavy. He poked around in it, seeing what he could find. As he did, he absentmindedly wondered about the largish group he'd hit. What would they be doing going in a forest? Witch hunt?

(Hey Cora, what's in the bag?)

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

(Mind if I tackle him?)

Kreinbahthur's expression turned into a n ominous grin when he saw the pony thief had stopped.

"Zu' fent krii daar mey," he whispered to no one in particular. He sprang, attempting to tackle the pony full force and give him a rather unnecessary violent beating. The alicorn didn't seem himself...

[Senor Citizen 516]

A twig snapped, sounding almost exactly like a distant gunshot. Standoff hit the dirt, not realizing there was no sniper until he was on the ground. It was then he saw the alicorn (sic) sprawled on the ground in front of him. "Piss. Alright, I suppose I'll have to fight you for the bag now? Not a fight I want to get into, mate. If I were you, I'd let me go."

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

"Hahaha, and you think you can intimidate me? Such pride..."

He got in a battle stance, ready to fight. Krein felt awkward however, as if what he was doing was terribly wrong. No, where was he? He wasback home right? And a prisoner had escaped... was that it? Maybe, but the pending thrill of a fight filled his mind.

"Alright. Your funeral." Standoff lunged, catching Krein just below the shoulder and twisting, forcing him to the ground. "Okay. Here are my terms. You let me take the bag and go, and I don't snap your leg off and leave you to die. I think it's a win-win, but that's just my opinion." He twisted harder, putting his hoof on Krein's head for leverage. "Oh, and I'm going to need an answer soonish. Got a pretty large group to get away from."

[Yes-Man 597]

Gears ran after Krien, whom seemed to be the group leader. He really needed to know what to look for. He saw a pony holding him to the ground, and swung a wrench out of his satchel. He didn't usually have to defend himself, but he hoped that a rusty old wrench would scare this pony off.

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

So he was right, this guy was definitely trained in fighting. However, so was he. Krein gave off a false sound of pain, and though it actually did hurt, he was rather used to receiving hurt. He quickly maneuvered his body to escape the thief's hold, and once he did escape, he reared up and brought his hooves down strongly on the confused pony's side.

"Bah, that's first grade material right there!"

[Skycoaster 698]

Corkscrew had gone ahead to scout. He hears the commotion from the rear. Ah buck....that can't be good." He flew back to the group as fast as he could leaving behind his signature orange streak. His armor dripping with sweat. "What'd I miss guys?" He sees Standoff and Krein starring each other down. He moves over to back the alicorn up.

[Senor Citizen 516]

"AAH! Okay, that's enough!" Standoff reached into a sheathe on his vest and drew a knife. He ducked under Gears's swipe with the wrench and deadened the leg holding it. Standoff then used Krein's original strategy against him, diving into his midsection. Holding the knife to Krein's throat, Standoff growled, "Last chance." Talking to the others present, "Anyone moves, the next sound this guy makes is going to be a slight gurgle followed by death!"

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Krein felt air begin to fill his lungs and diaphragm... he could feel a special pkwer build up from within, but instead of using it, he didn't. In fact, it more or less snapped him out of his battle mindset.

"What the?!", he asked in confusion. He quickly realized the situation he was in, and quickly brought his hoof across the knife wielding hoof to snap it away. Quickly flipping the pony over in his position, he allowed his horn to glow red with imminent flames, the air around him becoming hot and stiff.

"What the hell are you doing that for?! Who are you?!"

[Addem Up 246]

Addem jumped, chasing after the ponies. I'm not much good in a fight, but if he's distracted, I might be able to... I don't know. I should be there, at least. He frowned, contemplating his emotions. It wasn't like him to get so attatched to ponies, particularly ones he'd just met.
