open The Struggle for Canterlot

[Gloomfury 243]

Gloom stares at the hideous thing before him that the mare dragged him to see. All his time in the military he's seen some messed up stuff, but this? This is the freakiest thing he has ever seen, and for some reason he started craving calamari. He looks back to the mare. "Okay you warn't lying about this ugly bastard, but that don't mean all the other crap is true."

[Grand_Finale 529]

Tarots nose wrinkled up. "Ill prove it to you! Nopony callsme a crazy liar and gets away with it!" Tarot says, stamping her hooves childishly, huffing. "You won't be disappointed! I'm no scam artist I can tell you that!" She said, clearly getting angry about nothing in particular. "And maybe we should try to do something about that monster, before we get off topic"

[Gloomfury 243]

He chuckles."Yeah, I'd like to see you try and prove it. And why do I have to be the one to do something about that abomination to science and nature? Not like it's my problem in the first place." He turns around and starts to head back to the bar. "And if I were you, I'd get the hell out of here before that thing starts using those tentacles in a very nasty way, if you know what I mean."

@, 

 

(I've been waiting a while for you to respond...)

 

Hirue began to lunge down at Al with all three of his moths on his chest and hands opened wide. "You whelp! I'll teach you to disrespect your betters!" He readied his right claw and made a hacking swipe at Al's chest.

[Grand_Finale 529]

Tarot watched as the monster lunged towards the colt. "Wait! Perhaps we could come to an.... agreement?" she said, hoping to keep the situation under control. "And hold off the violence for now! I just dont really want a mess to clean up. Perhaps another time?" she said, sure that this wouldnt work, but it was all she could do.

@,

 

"How many have you killed?" Capony said. "For each person you have killed, another second shall be added to your suffering when I shoot you. Crime and punishment," he said, sidestepping one strike, then dashing backwards to avoid another, then dashing forwards to punch the thing in the face. 

[Literally Snails 2,307]

@,@@Grand_Finale,  

 

Hirue took the blow directly to the trunk, a very sensitive part of his anatomy. "You little-"

 

Before he could finish his insult, a white and red blur flew overhead from behind Tarot. The figure was saying something, but it was moving to fast to be understood. A white Pegasus with red hair and green eyes few behind Hirue and delivered another quick blow to the back of his neck, this time causing Hirue to cough out a green liquid and fall forward on his face.

 

"Up right on to be bothered with that, I say." The pegasus said. He appeared to be speaking plain english, but he was almost impossible to understand. "One-to-one fair aint a much of a need with that company around. Play fair and you can't expect a same thing in return. You get what I'm saying, now don't ya lad?" He was looking at Al when he said this.

 

"What... language are you speaking?" Hirue said weakly.

 

The pegasus stomped Hirue's head back down to shut him up. "I wasn't speaking a word to you!"

[Grand_Finale 529]

Tarot was dumbfounded. What in equestria was going on? She decided to keep her trap shut for now, and decided to go into observing mode. She tried to understand what the pegasus had said, but was completely lost. Her expression changed to a look of pure confusion as the two converced.

[Kira Dogeikage 230]

@,

 

"Ummm, are you speaking ghetto or country? I don't understand either, but thanks for the assist. I'm Al Capony, who are you?" He asked, with a gun pointed at this new pony and at the demon on the ground. "Start talking, I'm not very patient, and I have nearly instantaneous response time."

(He's speaking in a very quick paced Irish accent.)

 

Hirue shifted his head from underneath The accented Pegasus's hoof so that he could see Al. "I tell you nothing!" He croaked, "You're screwing with things you can't comprehend. What point is there in explaining?"

 

The Pegasus bared down on his neck again. "The point is my hoof on the base of your spine, you blasted old bigger! Try me. I can catch a lotta things and understand what at that. Give your gums a flap!"

[Grand_Finale 529]

"Whaaa" Tarot said, Face twisted into a look of confusion. "What is wrong with this city?" she said, looking at the situation unfold. "Can ANYPONY explain to me whats going on right now?" she said, shaking the confused look off her face. "None of this makes any sense!" she practiaclly yelled

[Gloomfury 243]

Gloom kept hearing shouts coming from the commotion. Halfway back to the bar he turn around to see if that mare is still there ,not to his surprise she is. Letting out a frustrated grunt, he heads back to the stubborn mare to try and get her out of there. Even though he still don't trust her, but still he cant just let her get hurt. "Hey filly. I thought I told you to get out of here, do you have a deathwish or something?"

[Grand_Finale 529]

Tarot turned around, steam practiaclly flying from her ears. "Now look here mister, I am no filly, and you are no parent of mine!" she said, stomping towards him. "And I'll leave when I darn right decide to!" she said, not really meaning her words. She wasnt so experienced dealing with city folk yet. she took a deep breath. "Look, Im sorry for lashing out, but gosh darn it! it sure does bother me when other ponies tell me what to do. Ive had darn near enough of that in my life, as I can assume you can relate to" she said, once again forgetting the whole "Army" topic

[Gloomfury 243]

Gloom sighs and nods. "It's alright, I know you're not a child and what not. But this ain't really the place where you want to stay." Gloom points to the monster. "What if that thing starts coming after you or something. Do you really want to take that chance? Besides, I still have a bone to pick with you about my past."  He grabs her hoof and starts walking her away from the scene.

[Grand_Finale 529]

Tarot sits her flank down but ultimately fails as the pony drags her away. "What if something cool happens though. WHAT IF HIS BLOOD IS PURPLE" she said, clearly losing her train of thought. "Where are we even going. I think this is in direct violation of the stranger danger code. I dont remember you telling me your name. oddly enough thats one thing I can never get right. Let me try." she said before squeezing her eyes shut." Got it! is it.... Glub Furry? Gee, that would be a shame if that was your actual name. I hope it isnt." she said thoughtfully, still dragging behind the colt

[Gloomfury 243]

"The name's Gloomfury. And yes I know it sounds cool if he dose have purple blood but do you want to be splattered with is? And I'm taking you to a safe house I know around here even though you might be a government spy sent to keep an eye on me, I can't in good conscience let you get hurt,. Also I never got your name, even though I'm sure it will be a fake one." He says sarcastically.

[Grand_Finale 529]

Tarot huffed loudly. "My name is Tarot. And for your information, I can barely keep other peoples names straight, how the HECK am I gonna be able to keep fake ones in order? I would make a terrible spy. I dont think I am even old enough to be a spy. Dont you have to go through like, super special training or something? Cuz that would be pretty cool" she said, getting lost in her own thoughts once again

I would make a terrible spy. I dont think I am even old enough to be a spy. Dont you have to go through like, super special training or something? Cuz that would be pretty cool" she said, getting lost in her own thoughts once again

Two stallions in blue jumpsuits stepped in their way. "Looks like all those years of avoiding steady employment finally paid off. These two look like they have something for us." One thought.

 

"Hey, you two wouldn't happen to have any cash, would you?" One asked.

 

"You see, we've lost our wallets, and we need to call our moms." The other thug lied.

 

"You remember how the golden rule works, don't you? Just give us all the money you have and we'll let you through!"

 

(These are just two ordinary muggers. No surprises, just giving you two a chance to show your powers.)

 

(@, are you gonna reply to Hirue and the Pegasus?)

[Grand_Finale 529]

Tarot smiled. "Gee, I would have never guessed two fine young men would fall into such a pit of theivery. Your mother would be ashamed of herself. Its too gosh darn bad you left her in the hospital to make some money isnt it?" She smirked, looking at them with big eyes. "Oh, and I dont recall you being at the funeral either. Where were you really? Oh! right, you were at a strip club throwing dollar bills at floozies. I do hope you can live with youself after that" she said with a pouty lip and oozing "sympathy"

[Gloomfury 243]

Gloom stares at the two stallions. "Tarot huh? Cute name, now shut the hell up!" He shouts at her with a pissed look in his eye, first a mare who might be a spy, a crappy one, but still. A butt ugly monster that he had to drag said crappy spy away from and now two stupid muggers who don't know who they're messing with.

Tarot  stomped her hooves, ignoring the thugs. "Hey! Just cuz your a big ol grump doesnt mean you can tell me to shut up!" she said, angry about nothing really. She had pretty much forgotten about the thugs. "And I didnt do anything wrong anyways!" She yelled dramatically, She turned her attention back to the thugs."Now then. Might I ask you two men to step aside?"

"Oh, we'll steal aside alright, miss!" One said angrily, perturbed by what she had said earlier. He readied himself and threw a punch strait at the side of her jaw.

 

(This is no good. Can you guys PM some of your friends to get more to join. We need good heroes and villains.) 

[Grand_Finale 529]

((Ill see what i can do)) Tarot felt the sharp pain in her jaw. "HOW DARE YOU" she said, face turning red. she bucked one of them hard in the groin. "didnt you ever learn its rude to hit a girl?" she said, feeling her cheek. "now im gonna have a bruise there, jerks" she grumbled

[Gloomfury 243]

Gloom then punched the other one on the face, which knocked him a good few feet away. He turns back to Tarot. "I told you to shut up, but nooo, you just had to keep running your mouth. And see where it got you? Damn, all this crap and I still have a hangover. I swear is something else happens I'm going to kill someone."

Tarot  scoffed. "Hey! I got rid of one of them! You just dont know what fun is!`she said angrily. `"Its not my fault you drink like a madman" She stepped over the thug on the ground. "If thats how your going to talk to me maybe I wont come with you." she said, sticking her nose in the air
