(Earthquake.)

(I will do these at random times. Sometimes I may do them for plot points, other times just because there has not been one for a while or because I want to make it difficult for a group. All the natural phenomenons will not be earthquakes, they will vary between floods, volcanic eruptions, land slides and dangerous storms.)

 

Violetina stopped mid sentence as she felt the ground starting to shake again. This one was very. very close.

"Quake, Gloomfury move." Violetina awoke Niru from her sleep and tossed her onto her back. Niru held onto her sister tightly.

The quake caused a large crack in the ground to appear, it was about a mile deep and at the bottom was a pit of lava. The quake also caused part of the cave roof to collapse in on itself, blocking the main entrance. Dust filled the room making it very hard to breath.

*Cough**Cough*"Is everypony ok?" 'Niru are you alright?' Niru nodded her head to her sister.

"Gloomfury, are you ok?"

 

@,  "Will you fuck off you fat, stumpy  piece of shit!"

(I do allow foul language. Also you cannot do anything to harm us, the cave is sealed off so tight not even air can get inside.)

"Wee, another shake" Tenebris laughed as the ground began to shake. Iwiek was less thrilled.

"OH SHIT, NOT AGA-!" Iwiek managed to scream before being covered by several large rocks and getting battered repeatedly. For the thousandth time, Iwiek could have kissed his rubbery body for saving his life. Iwiek eventually crawled out of the huge pile, coughing and groaning in pain.

"Wasn't that fun?" Tenebris giggled as Iwiek struggled to free his lower half.

"Maybe if you're made out of smoke" Iwiek grunted, finally freeing himself and looking at what was left of the cave. "Well, they're dead" Iwiek declared before getting to work shoveling rocks.

"Yay, it's like a scavenger hunt" Tenebris laughed before joining in to help Iwiek find supplies

Gloomfury ran beside Violetina. "Aye. But where the hell are we going? Dose this cave even lead anywhere? I we might just end up at a dead end and then get blocked by the damn rocks." He dodge a few falling rocks. "At least we'll be away from those bastards." HE runs closer to Violetina to avoid more rocks.

[Child Of Darkness 285]

@@Gloomfury, 

The rocks eventually stopped falling, but the damages to the entrance was extreme.

"The main door is blocked off, and I can understand why you would think that we may end up in dead ends. Bat pony cave systems are a maze to navigate around. But there is a back door, another way out. We are going to have to hurry, if I am right, we have about 36 hours before you run out of air and you die. If we make good time, we should get out within 28 hours. There is no other way out, unless you want to wait for them to dig into the cave and kill us all." Violetina went into her saddle back and pulled out a flash light for Gloomfury.

"You will need this, most of the time we will be in total cave darkness. We don't want you to fall down any chasms now do we."

 

Niru got up onto her hooves and walked over to Gloomfury, pulling on his hooves a little.

'Come on, we've got to go.'

Gloomfury takes the flashlight and turns it on. "Thanks miss. And I can last a longer then 36 hours, I've lasted about 3 months in a cave with out food or water. It was part of my training. I had to dig out myself. But I that don't mean I want to stay in this tunnel to hell." He looks down at the filyl who was pulling on his leg. Gloomfury may look like a hard ass but he was a sucker for kids. He smile and rubs the filly's head. "Alright lassie, I'm moving ." He starts to walk.

Twisted flew for a bit and then looked back. He was happy, but not surprised that noone had followed him. He landed behind a tree and looked at his hooves. Appearantly those ponies in the cave hadnt wanted to kill him after all...... Twisted began crying. Then he began laughing, because he had just escaped from those .... things. Then he cried again because he had left the good ponies in that cave. Twisted froze. He looked into his bag and smiled. He took out a plastic jar and some of his chemicals and started working. ( i could disclose the chemicals, but im not gonna tell you guys how to make explosives im not that stupid.)
After roughly 5 minutes he held a sock in his hand. It was not blue like it used to, but had turned white. He rolled the sock up into a ball and placed it together with the other sock into the jar. He placed a little bit of ponyfulminate into the jar aswell. He grinned a bit. "Time to go and help a bit." Twisted flew up as high as his astronaut-training had allowed him, took aim and released the jar. He saw a bright flash on the ground, where he had previously seen some of the... things. He didnt expect to hit any of them, since they had most likely moved, but it would most certainly distract them enough for the nice ponies to get out of the cave.

"Well when you put it that way, we better get out of here quick." He starts to walk a little faster, shining the flashlight on the path so not to trip or fall. "So you two live in the everfree or something? Cause I ain't seen  a bat pony long while. The last time I saw when was when I was in Stalliongrad, We met while I was hunting in the mountains. Nice guy, his name was Vincent. You know him?"

@@Gloomfury, "I cannot say that I do know a pony called Vincent. As for where we live. I live in the everfree forest with my special somepony and my sister lives in the colony with her parents, which is where I am taking her as soon as we get out of this cave. What about you? Why don't you tell me a bit about yourself. It seems like we may be together for a while."

The small explosive landed near Tenebris, causing the smoke cloud to look in wonder.

""What's this?" Tenebris questioned before the bomb exploded, causing Iwiek to come running. As iwek reached the scene: Tenebris was pulling back together. "I don't like socks" Tenebris lamented before finishing up the reformation process.

Jaeger ran back through the cloud of smoke and met up with Iwiek, "That stupid bastard plowed right into me! Didn't even watch where he was going." he yelled in anger as he looked over to Tenebris. "Of course you hate socks, you don't need them." he chuckled as his gaze moved back to Iwiek. "Alright now what? I just wanna kill the idiot that ran into me." he growled

@@Frosty V, @,

Twisteds mind made a jump. *KILL THEM NOW! THEY ARE DISTRACTED ENOUGH! NO! Thats suicide. And not nice FUCK NICE-NESS KILL THEM! RIP THEM TO PIECES!*

TWisted screamed. Hoping, that he could shut up his own mind. Then he stopped screaming. But he still heard screaming. Was that him? He bit into his hoof to test wether that was him. The scream stopped, but his hoof hurt badly. He slowly stopped biting his hoof and felt a warm. Metallic taste in his mouth. At this point his eyes were bloodshot and opened wide. He grabbed his knife and shot down towards the ponies. Because he was so high up did he break the sound barrier. Everything went quiet. No sound. *TOO FAST!NOT FAST ENOUGHNO WE NEED TO PULL UP* His mind protested. Twisted felt blood coming out of his nose and all over his face. ( he looks roughly like my avatar ) He angled himself so that he wouldnt hit the ground. He flew right through the group of ponies with supersonic speed, slicing straight through one, which looked like a cloud of smoke. He was too fast, to look back and check, wether that had done damage, but he had encountered no resistance. It was... as if it really was a cloud of smoke. He flew straight for a bit and then turned around. Ready-ing himself for another flyby.

The streak of...well, something flew right past him at break neck speed, he felt the wond that followed. To him it was quite, refreshing. He looked over in the direction of the streak and sure enough it was the same pony that had ran into him. "It was you who ran into me! I hope you know your paying for my dry cleaning and that's like......a lot of bits." he yelled showing his mud drenched jacket.

Iwiek struggled to get up from the wind current. His body wasn't exactly the best for being tossed around. 

"Do we follow him?" Tenebris questioned as the smoke particles in its body popped back together. 

"He's following us" Iwiek pointed out as Twisted came back in for another fly-by. Iwiek realized too late he was the target. "Aw, he-" Iwiek managed to sputter before being headbutted and slammed against a wall by the blur. "Just because I can survive blunt trauma doesn't mean it's not painful!" Iwiek screamed at Twisted

Zinn chuckled gleefully when the next earthquake hit, because every time the Great Lord of Stone touched the world more lives were returned to him.  In fact, Zinn had a lot to be happy about now.  The Lord Tectonus had finally revealed his plan; the plan Zinn had been waiting for for exactly seven thousand years.  It was finally time for Zinn to smite those who opposed the Great Lord.

 

Tectonus had explained that as awesome and powerful as his disasters were, there were almost always survivors.  The sentient races, in particular, could be extremely stubborn about being returned to the soil.  Thus, it was Zinn's glorious duty to seek out these survivors and complete the Great Work.  It seemed like an astronomical task, a single pony eradicating all sentient life from the earth, but Zinn was destined for great things; Tectonus had told him so.

 

He heard shouting nearby, and began to trot in that direction.  In the distance, he saw some sort of fight going on between a small, fat pony, a pegasus, and what seemed to be a cloud of smoke.  If they decide to go and kill each other, Zinn thought as he giggled to himself, then my job becomes easy!  He trotted a little closer to where the fight was taking place, and then sat down to watch the outcome.

Iwiek's temper flared and he stomped the ground with rage. The pegasus that had slammed him was too fast to catch and continously head butted him while Tenebris laughed at Iwiek's misfortune. Iwiek needed something to take his temper out on and the ground wasn't cutting it.

"Huh, the wind feels different from that direction" Tenebris mumbled, its smoky body rippling in an unnatural way. "It feels weird, I'll go hurt it" Tenebris decided before flying off in the direction of the disturbance.

"Wha... What?!  How?!" Zinn cried out when he noticed the smoke cloud hurtling towards him.  Of all the three that could have seen him, did it have to be the cloud?  How did you even fight a cloud?  Fear started to grip him and he prepared to run.

 

The time has come to prove your worth, said the voice in his head.  Zinn stopped at this.  Tectonus was right; this was a test.  He couldn't expect all of his trials to be easy.  Before his quest was over, he would have to slay dragons!  A sentient cloud was the least of his worries.

 

His horn began to glow as he turned to face the monster.  He started by launching a cloud of dirt and dust into the air around himself, hoping that maybe this would disrupt his opponent's form.  Then he found rocks and began magically fashion them into small spikes.  He doubted that they would be of use against the creature, but having them at his disposal made him feel better.  "You deny the will of Tectonus," he said in a low, angry voice.  "For that, sinner, you shall pay."

"What does sinner mean? And Tectonus? Can you eat it?" Tenebris questioned while looking around for the pony. While Tenebris couldn't see through the dust cloud, the pony's talking gave a rough image of where he was. Iwiek got up from his raging to see a dust cloud about a hundred yards to his left. 

"Well, I guess I can just ignore Sir Flyby" Iwiek muttered before heading in the direction of the cloud. Iwiek stretched his limbs in an attempt to see through the cloud but was unable to find anything besides Tenebris's smoky chill.

His eyes widened as he realized that all of his shouting had given away his position.  As silently as he could, he tried to move to another spot in the cloud, the spikes he had created hovering along beside him.  This wouldn't work for long though, as his dust cloud was beginning to thin.

The journy so far had been mostly silent. Violetina needed to concentrate in order to navigate the caves. She was walking along when she heard a noise and looked for it with her sonar. (Bats have an ultra sound sonar they use to see in the dark. Violetina has one.) "Gloomfury, hold on. There is something else in here with us." Violetina started to look franticly around the cave searching for the cause. The more she looked the more ponies appered. Violetina looked to the ground and picked up an old sword. "Get ready, some bat ponies are about to attack us."

"What's a sinner? Is it someone who sings? I can't sing" Tenebris mused at this strange pony who had said something about table-cloth or something. "Table-cloth is a stupid name" Tenebris giggled at the thought before deciding to share the joke with Zinn. 

"Table-cloth sounds funny" Tenebris giggled stupidly at the champion of Tectonus
