  1. >Five days ago, you were given the glorious invitation you have been waiting for.
  2. >In the mail came an odd letter stating that you were chosen to live out your wildest dreams.
  3. >Inside of this letter was a map, a map that lead to what you expected to be the big horse haven.
  4. >Kinda like Jurassic Park but with gigantic ponies.
  5. >The time of the monsterhorse was at hand.
  6. >You bust open your piggy bank and made a dash for some backwater village in rural Europe.
  7. >To your surprise, the trip wasn't actually that bad.
  8. >In fact, it was quite a relaxing experience.
  9. >Until you arrived at a strangely serene dock.
  10. >You stepped out of the guide's truck, but as soon as you did; he slammed on the gas and drove like he had to use the can.
  11. >Weird
  12. >But what can you expect, this place gave you the heebie jeebies too.
  13. >The cold wind blew and whispered.
  14. >On the dock a lone, rugged looking motorboat danced with the movement of the current.
  15. >You spotted a dead tree, and what appeared to be a torn note stuck to the trunk.
  16. "Get into the boat please."
  17. >The word please was scribbled all over the page, whoever this was; they were kinda clingy from what you could tell.
  18. >But the path to big horse is paved with clingy people.
  19. >And the map to big horse heaven kinda leads you through the lake anyway.
  20. >Judgement and common sense were thrown right out the window, you wanted gigantic horses.
  21. >So you hopped into the rickety boat and revved up the engine.
  22. >For some reason, the boat had a locked cabinet; a salty odor came from within.
  23. >"Ugh, whatever is making that smell should-"
  24. >The tide quickly shifted into a violent tone.
  25. >Water was being pushed up like a geyser.
  26. >"D-did I just see a shark tail? Or maybe it was a whale or-"
  27. >Somethin's rockin the boat, and it ain't a guppy.
  28. >The current nearly made your boat capsize from the sheer force of it.
  29. >Tension?
  30. >That word would be an insult to this situation.
  31. >Your knees were buckling, a small bead of sweat fell down your forehead.
  32. >Only thing that was on your mind?
  33. >Why in the blue hell did this have to happen when you're so close to Jurassic Pones?
  34. >You could have had a heart attack before getting the letter, that would've been better than being a quick snack for whatever was stalking you.
  35. >"Just gotta get out of here..."
  36. >You attempted to rev the engine back up.
  37. >One pull, two pull, three pull.
  38. >Like it would be that easy.
  39. >"No no no, of all the times for boats to betray me!"
  40. >You slammed your fist against the motor like a caveman.
  41. >Nah, it wasn't going anywhere.
  42. >Neither were you.
  43. >A quick tug of your seaworthy vehicle made your heart stop.
  44. >The creature snagged itself onto your steel anchor.
  45. >Ouch.
  46. >"Ahh!"
  47. >The impact made you stumble onto your butt.
  48. >"Kind of rough, don't you think?"
  49. >Not really the time for wise cracks you immediately thought.
  50. >And now it was starting to pull the boat around the lake in the most careless manner you've ever seen.
  51. >Guess you had to put your big boy pants on and buckle your...boatbelt? Because this ride was about to get bumpy.
  52. >To and fro the boat was thrown, it seemed like the monster wasn't even aware of dragging it.
  53. >Your boat stopped dead in its tracks.
  54. >Maybe the monster bled out?
  55. >That was one theory, and one that you were most in favor of.
  56. >You looked around the lake, it was quiet.
  57. >Out of the corner of your eye, four bright blue neon lights moved through the fog.
  58. >"Damn damn damn...wait a sec!"
  59. >The lights stopped moving after that remark
  60. >Strange, maybe it bit it's tongue?
  61. >"Whatever is in this, it's gotta be useful against this thing!"
  62. >Breaking the damaged container was easy enough. A quick kick did it
  63. >"Chips? What the hell!?"
  64. >Bags upon bags of chips were inside of the demolished crate.
  65. "CHIPS!?" An excited voice came from the mist.
  66. >"What was that? Sounded like a.."
  67. >The raging tide pushed through the surrounding fog.
  68. >Four bright blue neon lights continued to inch closer and closer to you.
  69. >A fifth light soon lit up, it was about ten times bigger than the others, and it was the closest to the water.
  70. >It was rushing right at you.
  71. >Hopefully it was allergic to salt.
  72. >What were you on, it lived in the saltiest water in Europe.
  73. >Well, better to have tried and died than cried and died.
  74. >A loud popping noise came from the bag as you ripped it open in a worried frenzy.
  75. >You reached into the bag, the salty particles of the contents sticking to your hand.
  76. >With precise timing, and a pounding heart; you lobbed the crunchy chips into the monster's glowing maw.
  77. >Surprisingly, it warded the creature off.
  78. >At that time, at least.
  79. >It frantically swerved around your boat after it caught the chips with a delightful look on its face.
  80. >Delightful meaning less terrifying than it was five seconds ago.
  81. >From the depths beneath your boat, an antenna popped out to your side.
  82. >The neon light from the top of it was hypnotizing, it was so stunning...it was so beautiful.
  83. >And it was sorta rude.
  84. >Without warning, it pushed you down to the floor of the boat with an intense amount of brute force.
  85. >Stuck on your back, another antenna thrust itself out of the water.
  86. >This is it, it's over.
  87. >Monster one, Anon zero.
  88. >You started to say your prayers and were ready to meet your maker.
  89. >The beast ascended from the water, it was eye level with you.
  90. >Its muzzle was a few inches away from the very tip of your boat.
  91. >Water dripped from its ears playfully.
  92. >Getting back up to your feet wasn't really possible.
  93. >Every time you rose up, it lowered it's head to nudge you back down to the boat's floor with one of its antenna.
  94. "Boop!"
  95. >"God just-"
  96. "Boop!"
  97. >"Swear to god, let me-"
  98. "Boop!"
  99. >This was really getting on your nerves.
  100. >"Let me get-"
  101. "Boopy!"
  102. >Each time it pushed you down, it just laughed.
  103. >"Seriously, this is getting old!"
  104. "Beep!"
  105. >It planted you down with authority, and laughed again.
  106. >The size of the beast was mind boggling, its behavior even more so.
  107. >Having a tough time getting to your feet, you decide it would be best to kick back at the mercy of the creature.
  108. "Chips, mister?"
  109. >"Wh-what?"
  110. >It spoke with a sweet voice, sweeter than a fine chocolate cake.
  111. "Chips, that's what I said."
  112. >"Uh..."
  113. >You froze up at that very moment.
  114. >Did you hit your head too hard?
  115. >Was this a sick trick?
  116. >Even if it was, it was still a sight to behold.
  117. >As you observed it down the salt ridden chips with glee, you thought it would be wise to remain quiet.
  118. >Good move, a strange beast of this magnitude is the most unpredictable force ever thought of.
  119. "Mmmhm I haven't had chips in a while!"
  120. >A short belch soon followed, and just like that she finished the cargo that was left aboard your fine-ish vessel.
  121. "I know you!" The excited beast cheered.
  122. >"Y-you do?"
  123. "Yep!"
  124. >"Well, who am I-"
  125. "You're uh..."
  126. >"Who?"
  127. "I 'unno, but all I know is; I'm so happy that you've come!"
  128. >"What are you talking about?"
  129. "Nobody's ever gotten into this little boat, even after I made those mean townspeople put a sign up." She placed the tip of her hoof onto the small boat and quickly took it off, sending the vessel into a slight bobbing frenzy.
  130. >"You mean that note that says "enter the boat please please please"?"
  131. "Oooh so it did work!" It clapped its hooves together in joy, splashing quite a bit of water into your face.
  132. >This thing was odd, not in the bad way...but in the extremely quirky way.
  133. >"So uhm, y-you got a name?"
  134. "Uh...Seq- no no, erm....oh it's Orchid!"
  135. >Took a bit, but she remembered.
  136. >"You fumbled there for a sec, you must not get out much."
  137. "I haven't talked to another living thing in so long!"
  138. >"Well, when you attack whoever comes here-"
  139. "What? I was just so excited to see you! I-I'm sorry..."
  140. >You know, for a terrifying monster of nightmare; she's pretty harmless.
  141. >"It's okay, I mean uh..."
  142. >Conversing with this gigantic kaiju was harder than fighting it.
  143. >"Look, the only reason I'm out here is because I need to get across the lake."
  144. >The map was a tad waterlogged, when you showed it to Orchid you could see her majestic blue beams shining from the other side.
  145. "Ooohh, that sounds fun! Is there treasure there?"
  146. >"More than you could imagine."
  147. "What kinda treasure?"
  148. >"Gold, silver, gems..."
  149. "That's not treasure, that's junk."
  150. Orchid scrunched her muzzle and energetically shook her soaked mane out of her face.
  151. >"What? Those things are very valuable!"
  152. "Pfft, if they're sooo valuable, why is my bed made out of them?"
  153. >"Y-you've got an entire bed of treasure!?" You rolled the damp map back up and put it back into your pocket.
  154. "Well, yeah; what else am I gonna sleep on?"
  155. >"Didn't even know you had to sleep...seeing as you're a monster" Not the brightest idea to call Orchid a monster, but hey; it was in the heat of the moment.
  156. "A m-monster?" She sniffed and quickly looked away from you.
  157. >Now you've done it, she's gonna eat you smart guy-
  158. >Is she crying?
  159. >"Uh Orchid?"
  160. >Her sobbing wasn't very loud, but it echoed through your skull.
  161. >Watching a kaiju cry wasn't fun.
  162. >And she wouldn't stop crying, probably couldn't even hear you.
  163. >It was time to man up.
  164. >So you took your boat up to her side. At least a part of her upper body was topside along with her head.
  165. >You could only think of one way you could get her attention and not get splashed out of existence.
  166. >You rolled up to her side and extended your hand...
  167. >Man, you were shaking like you've seen a ghost.
  168. >It felt like time was moving slower.
  169. >Your heart almost pounded completely out of your chest.
  170. >Finally you made contact with Orchid's smooth skin.
  171. >And did THAT ever get her attention...
  172. "Eeeeeeeeeeee!"
  173. >Orchid looked giddy, from what you saw. She screamed in joy.
  174. >Until she bolted out of your reach and submerged herself in the dark void of the lake.
  175. >Well, you guessed that you solved the situation.
  176. >Now to get to Jurassic Pones.
  177. >However, destiny had something else in mind.
  178. >The water started to roar ferociously, the waves were beating your small speedboat silly.
  179. >And the addition of more fog rolling in didn't help.
  180. >You held on to whatever you could, hoping the lake wouldn't swallow you whole.
  181. >The vessel twisted from left to right, the current smashing it enough for it to nearly wreck under the severe pelting of water.
  182. >Water splashed into your eyes and mouth, the churning waves destroying the boat.
  183. >The speedy vessel couldn't withstand anymore, it finally buckled under the beating.
  184. >It overturned, and sent you flying overboard.
  185. >Water, shivering cold water embraced your skin.
  186. >You could swim, at least.
  187. >"Swim back to the boat, push it back over and get the hell out of this lake..." You said under your breath.
  188. >A plan is a plan, and well; yours was going to work.
  189. >Until a certain kaiju slammed its horn straight through the overturned vessel, turning it into nothing but driftwood.
  190. >"Perfect..."
  191. >A large shadow formed underneath you in the darkness of the water.
  192. >It was time to say your prayers and say goodbye cruel world...
