[Grand_Finale 529]

Grand saw everyone in trouble. She grabbed onto zeta, ink, and fire horn. "Hold on tight!" She screamed, closing her eyes tightly and using a teleportation spell to transport them back to camp. "Terribly sorry for the spur of the moment decision" she huffed, exhausted from the spell. She has certainly improved in teleportation though

"stephen take missy and go" steel yelled in a demonic voice his dagger glowing bright enough to lightthe whole area he was in, showing the fact that his eys wernt relfelcting light, he kept killing " is that all you got" he yelled taunting the zebras, they just kept coming from all directions, he had five minites max befor they would overpower him and hopfully that would be enough

@@Grand_Finale,

After the quick and sudden teleportation between space itself, Ink Drop was on the ground and so was the others except Grand Finale, "Okay, that was expected..." a bit dazed and confused, Ink Drop tried to get back on his feet.

"Where's Stephan? Starburst, Steel... Missy... " and then he realized, they were still at the Hajoons' encampment. Ink Drop went frantic, worried, and anxious all at the same time, "we need to go back, we HAVE to go back... ." Ink Drop plead to the exhausted Grand Finale to cast another teleportation spell. "I can't leave them there." pacing around in circles looking back and forth at the group of glowing torches that was the Hajoon camp they were in previously. 

[Grand_Finale 529]

" I'm terribly sorry, but Stephan and steel should have it handled. Teleporting three ponies was tiring enough, I can't do it again. I'm sorry, but you two needed out if there. Maybe it was a bad choice" she said, feeling a wave of guilt at leaving the others behind. "I'm sorry, I assumed they would have it under control. I could attempt another one, but I'm not sure ill be able to do it"

[Milk Wave 454]

Zeta was surprised by the immediate teleport away from the battle. He didn't notice who it was until he saw the mysterious and pretty invisible Grand, panting next to Fire Horn and Ink Drop. "What just happened? Did you take us out of battle for any reason?"

[Grand_Finale 529]

Grand was frustrated. "I'm sorry, I thought you two were in trouble. Clearly I can't do anything right, though, can I? What an awful pony I am, trying to help my group, but it's always not enough!" She said, finally snapping. She stormed off, angry at herself for being so foolish. Deserting her friends.

[Milk Wave 454]

Zeta wasn't surprised, but chased after her when she ran and eventually caught up. Though stopping her was a problem from how heavy he was, he still managed to get ahead and grab her, falling onto the ground without Grand getting any injuries.

"Listen here.. I don't know how much about girls but you guys have a tendency to say negative things about yourself. You still helped us out in a way, since if you didn't know I was starting to become vulnerable.. So just stop it, please.."

Steel wasn't holding back his anger at all his was bright enough to almost blind anypony he was killing as fast as he could he was covered in blood when he was sure Stephan and Missy had gotten away he took flight and flew away from the camp then turned and flew back to the camp and landed hopping the zebras wouldn't be able to find them "hey I need some help i got stabbed I we'd some cloth and water from the ocean" steel said in his demonic voice he hadn't calme down yet but ike was working on It it could take a while but then he passed out holding his dagger in it's sheath

@,

Feeling disappointed at Grand Finale and somewhat bearing a guilt for leaving the others behind, Ink Drop said with an exhausted voice to Zeta, "It was an impossible fight, Hajoons are vicious, blood thirsty and never back down."

He looked at his empty bolt gun that had sustained damage overtime since he first made it and used it, he never planned to always used it but Brook forced him to make it and use it as a primary ranged defense weapon. It changed him, altered him to become a killer which he is not. Disgusted by it and the thought and those blood he had shed, he threw it away with force at a stone formation hence destroying it. 

 

@@Grand_Finale,

Ink Drop saw Grand Finale running off guilt-ridden for deserting the others and closely followed by Zeta. Ink Drop was so blinded by the thought that he could save everypony or simply gurantee their safety whom he came running in too, but the fact said otherwise. "Why did you yelled at her? She was only doing what she thought was right..." Ink Drop muttered to himself in a state of a mind feud.

" I know I did something awful, don't you tell me I didn't. I was foolish and selfish. You telling me anything different wont change my mind." She said angrily. "I take the blame, and I'm too tired to even make up for my mistake. If you want to go back, please do. Tell the others it was me, I'll stay here and rest up, perhaps I'll come in time to watch the rest of you pick them off" she grumbled

[DustJacket 213]

@@dashian500, 

He looked up and saw the others had made it back, paying no heed that the Hajoons would find them; Steel was bleeding, Stephan was exhausted, and Missy was at the near end stage of her trauma recovery. Ink Drop tried to yell out to Grand and Zeta but it might alert the Hajoon of their current position, so he turned to the human Stephan. "Stephan, ooh! You're human, interesting." oddly enough, Ink Drop could still spare sometime to admire the magnificent human form for a brief moment, "anyways, I'll admire later, catch." Ink Drop tossed out his herb bottle, "Take out the roots, they're Comfrey roots, should stop the bleeding for Steel. AND DON'T use sea water, it'll cause some significant damage and speeds up the bleeding and there is also the risk of infection." He explained rather briefly because the full knowledge about the Comfrey roots would take an hour to explain.

 

"As for me, I'll greet my old friends." Ink Drop went off, now being more of himself than his past 'killer' self, he took one Hajoon torch with him and faced out the Hajoons directly. Afterwards, he revealed himself openly to the Hajoon and hold the torch up as if he was planning on breaking it, which scared off the Hajoons, "A-a-a-aaaa... Good lads, you know what will happen if I break this torch? Yeah, monsters will come out of the dark unlit place by this green... weird fire." Ink Drop threatened the Hajoons and somewhat toying with them, playing with the torch, "maybe I'll just do it." He broke the torch into two and extinguished the fire and thus the Hajoons ran away seeking refuge near their torch. Ink Drop turned away expressionless and head back to the camp to help tend the Steel which was in the brink of death. 

 

((I kinda made Ink Drop like the Tenth Doctor... well, I was inspired from him actually. Oh and... this one is the real Ink Drop; just so you know))

"No, but I cant.." He replied back, still holding onto her so she couldn't go anywhere. "Just listen.. We were sent here to try to find a cure, not to split up or lose faith. We need all the unicorns we can get to help out, and you're not one beneath anypony so I would ask you to help us."

Zeta paused for a bit, thinking of something else to say.

"It's not just for all of us, but for Stephan.. Do it for him, please..."

@,@@Grand_Finale,  

With the place all safe and quiet, for the moment, Ink Drop started wondering where could Grand and Zeta be, since now it was alright to yell out to call them, and so "ZETA! GRAND! Please just come back, Steel's bleeding out... Missy and Stephan."

 

@@dashian500, 

He returned and asked Steel, "How are you holding up?" trying to comfort him for a bit, ease him up, calm him down, which was a very good technique to slow down the heart rate a hence slowed down the bleeding, "Keep that root up, it stings I know, just keep it up to the wound." Ink Drop tried to be as decent as he could as he knew that Steel's probability of survival a such wound was very thin.  

[dashian500 194]

Steel was bearly awake "I'm doing fine.. if it looks like I'm no going to make it... use my dagger the one in the right sheath to kill me... It's my last request can you do that for me" steel said while trying to stay awake and coherent

(( drama drama drama this is great if you want you guys can join in my other rp I'm sayin this here cuz I need some more to make this post I'll link in IOC))

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

Everyone had forgotten that Starburst was there, he ran up to Ink Drop.
"Get out of the way, i've got a solution." He pulled a green crystal out of his saddlebag, used his magic to break it, releasing the magical essence within it, it surrounded the wound and closed it, healing him of any infections he may have received.

[Grand_Finale 529]

Grand looked at him. "I'll go back for myself. Nopony else. This is something that I need to deal with on my own" she said after a brief pause. "I'll train alone. I vowed to myself I would help the group but so far I've only hindered it. I'll do it onvmyviwn, it's the only way I feel I can repay every pony" she said, turning to go back to the camp. " and any deaths are on my shoulders" she said before walking back

[dashian500 194]

"thank you, what is that anyways?"steel asked as it closed his wound but he knew all to well he would still need time to get his strength back he lost a lot of blood he would also need some food "can you vet me some oats and water?" steel asked inkdrop "it's in my bag by that stump"

[DustJacket 213]

@@dashian500,

Ink Drop reached for Steel's bag over the stump he was referring to, he took out a pack of oats and a water bottle. Before he returned, he saw the Hajoons taunting him, toying back at him. He just ignored their taunted and returned back in a hurry to Steel and gave the pack of oats and the water bottle to him.

 

@@Grand_Finale,

Ink Drop then neared Grand that was nearing the area of the camp, gathering up courage to face her along the way. After he reached her, he apologized, "Grand, I'm sorry if I yelled at you, it's just..." he hesitated to tell the truth, he couldn't bear the thought of the past, "It's just, things had happened in this recent days. So... I'm really sorry. Just don't be too hard on yourself."

 

@,

The Hajoons were still out there, when the night shifted to dawn and to morning, it would lit up the region; because the only thing that was keeping them away was their fear and superstitions of the dark. He approached Fire Horn, "We need to leave, by dawn, we can't stay here, those zebras are still hungry and they won't sop until they get what they wanted." Ink Drop whispered it to Fire Horn's ears, so that the others could rest without one thought bother them in their sleep.  

[Grand_Finale 529]

Grand forced a grin. "No, you were right. It was a foolish thing to do. I'm glad everyone's back though. Will stell be alright? He looks badly injured. I suppose we could've prevented that though, couldn't we" she said nonchalantly, walking past him back to camp. She picked up the electric staff Stephan had given her and found a clear area before she began to practice

[Milk Wave 454]

Zeta, who was pretty much stunned at what Grand said, laid there lost in thought away from the camp. It was saddening to see her act like this now, and to say it was their fault now.

Karma bites, and sometimes it bites hard.

"I... I.... I...... But, not even for.."

He continued to lay there and decided now was not the best time to head back to camp. There was a lot of thinking to be done, and the fact that he still felt ashamed..

[DustJacket 213]

@@Grand_Finale,

"No, no, no... you did what you thought was right, you were trying to help and that is better than doing nothing." Ink Drop replied trying to rid the guilt of Grand's shoulder, "And as for Steel..." he paused, he somewhat hesitated whether Grand should know about the truth, "Steel will recover, he just needs some time."  

To see her like this, it reminded him of what he had become. One of these days could always change someone, to become better or to become less; depending on the ordeal they had undergone. It was a rough day, first it was bandits, then marauders, Hajoons, and so on; not even a good night's rest would do. 

 

((Speaking of rest, I really need to rest, my eyes are burning!))

" thank you" steel said to inkdrop as hebate some oats and drank " and grand the only thing that could have stipe me from getting stabbed would have been thick armor so don't be hard on yourself unless you want me to b hard on you as well" steel said to grand his anger was gone so he was talking I his normal voice and his eyes had there color back

[Grand_Finale 529]

Grand had tuned the world out. Her eyes were glued to her target, a tree, as she attacked it steadily. She would practice until she was strong. She would practice until she couldn't any more. She was sure her determination and stubbornness would be the death of her

[dashian500 194]

Steel got up with some pain but he managed to walk over to grand "training with a stationary target will not allow you to get better you must fight aginsut something real and moving to truely be ready for a fight"steel said swaying because of the blood loss but determined to help grand get better he knew she wouldn't be happy till then

[Grand_Finale 529]

"I don't need any assistance steel, but thanks for the offer" she said, eyes nit leaving where she was hitting. "I can do this myself, I don't need help. Not this time" she said in a polite but distant voice. She the tree had several marks from the staff deeply etched into it
