The Anon, The Anom, and The Ponies Day 4

> You are now Fluttershy
>"You little shit!"
> You hear this as you begin to wake up.
>Its maybe just Anon cursing at not being able to catch a fish.
>You open your eyes slowly
> Why is it so dark?
> You stand up and try to move around.
>*clink clank*
> You look down to see your back right leg shackled.
> Your eyes widened as you realize what happened.
> You return back to the floor and hide your face in your front legs.
>"N-no...this can't b-be happening..." you say softly
>A creak made you look up
> The only door to the room had opened and coming through was...
> No...
> Coming through was a hooded figure carrying Rainbow Dash...
> It threw her into the other cage.
> She landed with a thud.
> Her muzzle was yet again covered in blood.
> Her body full of bruises.
> She tried to stand, but every attempt was I'm vain
>"Ah, Fluttershy, you're finally awake!"
> You look up at the hood-
> He wasn't wearing the hood anymore.
>"Anom...?"

> You are now Anon> You find out from the ponies that you were in that hospital for 10 days.
> Now you have even less time and are pretty much crippled.
> Twilight said she would find a way to help speed up the process.
> You roll around in a makeshift wheelchair, a wheel barrel with carriage wheels in the back.
> You have no idea what you're gonna do.
> You need to study up on magic, maybe learn some shit from it to help you in the challenge.
> But you also need to go train more in combat.
> You need to do everything in less than 20 days

> You need to bulk up your endurance brah.
> Learning magic can wait until later
> You head to Ponyville's track and field.
> As you wheel into the entrance to the track a blue blur flys past
> Your eyes widened and your stomach felt full of butterflies.
"Rainbow Dash..?
"> As the blur comes to a stop you notice that its not her
> Instead it is Spitfire of the Wonderbolts!
> You'd think that she wouldn't be practicing after what happened at the stadium.
> She turns her head and locks eyes with you.
> In an instant she closes the gap between you two.
"Hello. ..?"
> she eyes you head to toe, looking at every nook and cranny.
>"Suitable. Welcome aboard cadet!"
>"Now go to the end of the track and back.
""H-huh?"
>"Did I stutter? Go!"
> You did as she yelled, moving your arms as fast as they could.
>Once you returned she yelled once more
>"Again!"
> This went on for the rest of the morning.
> You slumped into your wheel barrel.
> Your arms are on fire and your heart is beating like a rabbits.
>"Good job cadet! Get ready for next time."
> With that she took off
> Well, at least you worked on endurance.
> You wheel slowly out of the stadium.

> Okay, now you're hungry, but theres still more to do.
>You need to go to see if you can buy some ammo or protection here in town.
> You also need to check up on the other ponies, see how they are dealing with everything.
> You sigh softly and decide to check on the ponies.
> They're more important at the moment.
> You head off into the town shopping district.
> You search for Rarity's store, and judging that it has her name in the front, it shouldn't be too hard.
> There it is.
> Wow, it really something
> Dresses, shirts, and no pants.
> All looking like it took time and care with each stitch.

> You wheel inside, expecting someone to say hello.
> Silence was all that was present.
"Rarity?"
> You call out.
> Crickets.
> Guess she isn't here at all.
>"Anon, is that you darling..?"
> Nevermind that thought.
> She walked out of the back room.
> Her mascara was running down her white cheeks.
> She wiped it away as best she could without leaving smudges.
"Just as I thought. Rarity...just..."
> Before you could finish the sentence she jumped on you, sobbing harder.
> You pet her head gently
> She looked up and stared at you
>"Anon...you'll bring them back...wont you?"
> She sniffled as you wiped her tears away
"Of course."

>You are now Rainbow Dash
> Or at least what's left of you
> You've been beaten and battered.
> Your whole body aches.
> Even blinking is too much strain
> You know that Fluttershy is here as well, but the more you try and talk to her, the more distant she becomes.
> It started when Anom came and took her.
> She was trembling by the time she came back
> She wouldn't tell you what happened.
> It obviously nothing good.
> She hasn't spoken ever since then.
> You just hope Anon gets here fast

> Its been 15 days since waking up at the hospital.
> 5 more days until the portal pops up
> 5 more days until you save the two girls.

> You are now Twilight
> You run your hoove through your mane> Books are scattered throughout the floor
>"Nope, nothing." You aay throwing the book into the pile.
> You grab another, hoping this will have what you're looking for
>"Come on...I'm close, I can feel it."
> Flipping through the pages one catches your eye>You smile.
> You finally found it.

> You are now Anon
>"Take care Nonny!" Yelled Pinkie, waving
> You raise your arm in response
> You can't ever get enough of Pinkies pie.
>You head towards the Apple farm once more.
> You wonder how AppleJack is after all you told her.
> You reach the entrance and find her bucking away.
> Thing is, that tree had no more apples to give.
> The poor thing must have been abo-
> Yup, there it goes
"Timber!"
> You yell you as you wheel up to the orange pony.
>She just looked at you, panting heavy>Her sweat dripping down her chin
"Aj, you're gonna die if you keep working that hard."
>she mumbled something
"What?"
> You got closer to her
>"Better me than everyone else!" She said looking at you
"Hey don't say that."
>"But its true Anon. I would giv-"
"Don't say another word Applejack. Just don't."
> She lowered her head
>"Anon, if...if yah don't make it back...Ah just want to say ahm sorry. For everything ah said and did when you first came here"
> You hug her as tight as you could
"Its all right Applejack, and i promise i will be back and bring Fluttershy and Dash home."
> She nods and smiles.
> This one of the few times she smiled in these last 15 days.
> She pulled back
>"Anon...thank yah..."You smile at her and ruffle her mane.
"All right, ill be off. Dont work yourself too hard now.
> You turn and head back to Ponyville, hoping you mean what you said

>Its the night before the 30th day.
> Twilight has been excited to show you what's she's been working on these past few days
> You've been in the library/living room for the past hour.
> She comes down from her room with a pouch enveloped by her magic
>"I didn't make you wait long did I?" She asks as she sees your face
"No, I'm just a bit tired from packing up"
> she nods and puts the pouch in your hands.
>"Open it!" She said excitedly
> You complied and opened the pouch> Inside the pouch were little flasks, some shotgun shells, and a small crystal
> You chuckle softly
"All this Twilight? How did you even make the shells?"
>"Simple science and magic!"
> She beamed with pride
>"And those small flasks, well the potion in them can give you use of your legs for an hour after drinking it."
> You look at the viles
> 5 of them means 5 hours.
> More than enough.
"Jeeze, thanks Twi. Now if you'll excuse me. I have to go put these in the backpack and I have to get ready to leave town again."
> she nods.
>"Be careful Anon."
> You nod and head off, ready for your last night in Ponyville, and for one of the hardest battles in your life.

> You are now Fluttershy
> You haven't had the best 30 days
> Anoms been coming and taking you out of the cage.
> Yes it was nice to get out but it wasn't nice what he did to you.> He made you listen to his problems
> No big deal right?
> Well it wouldn't be, but the things he's told you.
> They weren't sane.
> You feel yourself gag just from thinking about them
"Please...come soon...Anon.."

> You are now Anon
> And you can't close your eyes let alone sleep.
> 11:30 says the clock
"No use in sleeping then..."
> You step into your wheel barrel and sling your backpack over your shoulders.
> You move as quietly as you can out of the house.
> You're tempted to take one of those potions
> Nah, its gonna be used soon.
> You look at the crystal Twilight gave you.
> You know its of some importance.
> Well you still don't know the challenge, but if its anything that lunatic made up, its not gonna be easy.

> you bring out the crystal Anom gave you.
> On cue it shines a bright white light right in front of you.
>The portal opens up.
> You take a deep breath and wheel in.
> You're met with nothing but darkness and silence on the other side.
> A single light shines on a pedestal
> Behind you the portal closes, leaving you no choice but to go towards the light.
> On the pedestal was a single piece of paper
>"Welcome Anon. I do hope you've prepared in these past 30 days. Now if you will, turn to your left."
> You did as the paper said.
> Another light flashed on.
> Under it were the girls.
> You're blood boiled as you see what's he's done to them
> Rainbow was just a wreck, she could barely lift her head to see you.
> Fluttershy didn't seem to have any wounds or bruising of any kind, but her big blue orbs seemed distant.
> You clench your hands into fists
"Alright Amon! I'm here! Now get your psychopathic ass out here!"
> Another light appeared behind you.
> The light of a screen

>"Well well well, hello there Anon. Didn't I tell I'd "take care" of them?"
> He laug-no, he cackled in a high pitch.
>"Well, what am I waiting for? You're here for the challenge after all. So what is it exactly? Its nothing big, you just have to find the keys to their cells."
"Really? That's it?"
>"Yes of course, the first key is right over there"
> He pointed to one other pedestal in the room.
> You turn and wheel yourself towards it.
> Why is it getting hotter?
> Yeah its definitely getting hotter.
> Its right there, yo-> Wait, why is it getting taller?
> Why do you feel the wind passing under you?
> You looked down and saw an orange glow
> Of course it wouldn't be that easy.
> You ditch the wheel chair and reach out to grab the ledge
> You manage to grab and hold on with one hand.
> You hear the wheel chair just fuel the fire.
> You bring your other hand to the ledge and pull yourself up.
> "Aww man! I thought you would have fell in and that'd be it. Guess ill have to try harder."
> You take out one of the potions and slam it down like good whiskey
>You feel its effects start to work.>Your knees no longer feel weak and you can now stand.
> You look.back at the screen.
> Anom had a shit eating grin on his face.
>"I didn't warn you about the hole? Well here's something I won't forget. You aren't just going to walk in here and save the day. You're going to work for it, and I'm not going to make sure that even if you do save them, you're not going to make it out alive."
"Throw whatever you want, but trust me, I'm getting out of here with my friends, and my life. And I'm also taking yours."
>The screen flicked off
> The key is still on the pedestal and only across a nice gap.
> You stretch out your newly usable legs.
> You back up and run towards the edge.

> You jump and extend your whole body.
> You slam into the other said and you let out a breath of pain
> You pull yourself up and onto the floor.
> Thank god those day of working on the field with Applejack paid off.
> You stand and walk to the key.
> You grab it and look at it "One down, one more to go."
> You put it in your bag.
> A path opens up in front of the pedestal
> You look back at the cages
"I'll get you guys out of here, I promise that"
> You walk through the path, still nothing but darkness
> It goes good with the grey ceiling though.
> The next room is, not dark.
> Its actually kinda nice and themed to look like a jungle.

>"Boo"
> You jump back as you see the same blade you had on your neck.
>"Didn't mean to scare yah. I just wanted to warn yah, I have the next key."
> You exhale softly and nod
> She smirked and sheathed the blade.
>"Don't make it too easy for meh sugah."
> She jumped and dissapeared into the brush.
> Yeah, nothings going to be easy.
> You take a step and fall to your knee.
> Has it been an hour already?
> You try to stand but fall back down
> You sigh and grab another flask, downing it once more.
> You throw it away and get back on your feet.
> The real battle begins

> You walk deeper into the jungle, the brambles hitting your ankles with each step
> You keep your shotgun out now, after all, she's one for up close and personal
> You hear twigs crack behind you> You turn and shoot once.
> Nothing behind there
> Yeah, you're paranoid
>"So close, but you aren't going to do much" she said right into your ear
> You swing your arm back, only to be stopped by her hand
>"Aww, how cute"
"Don't fucking toy with me!"
> You stomp her foot with yours pushing her onto the ground
>"Oh, a feisty one"
> She gets back on her feet and unsheathes her blade, throwing it at you.
> You catch it as she pulls another one from her ankle strap.
> "We fight on fair ground darling" she said and licked her blade.
> You put the gun away
"All right then, come and get me"

> She charges at you
> You lift your blade just as she swings hers
> Sparks fly off them
> Damn she's fast
>You sweep her legs, which she dodges with ease
>"Do something I wouldn't expect hun" she says in a very condescending tone
"How about this you bitch?">
 You ram your head into her belly.
> She falls to the ground, gasping for breath
"Heh, not so tough now huh?"
> She smirks and kick you in the shin, knocking you down
> You struggle to regain balance as she stands, looming over you
>:I'm sorry hun, but that is check and mate"
> You smirk
>"Already made amends with death huh?"
"No, you've just failed to realize my friend behind you"
>"What? Whe-er.." she hacked up blood "You....cheeky bastard..."
> You dig the blade deeper into her chest.
>You twist it, making her spit out more blood
"If only we've met under different circumstances"
>"Hah...I-if only..."
> She begin to shiver
>"Anon...here..." She reached into her pocket and put the key on your chest.
>"Anon...please...save your friends...and Equestria..." her breath began to slow, her body's trembling got worse
> And just like that she seized up
> Her body fell on yours.
> You push her to the side and stand up
> Or fail to.
>2 down, 3 to go
> You down one more potion and get back on your feet.
> You lean down and close her eyes
> She really deserved better
> You now have both keys
> Time to save your friends
> You walk through the rest of the jungle room.
> God damn, its hotter than Satan's ballsack.
>Hopefully the next dark hallway has A/C
>You find the pathway, free of brambles and heat.
> For a psychopath he has a good ventilation system.
> You reach the next room
"Doing good Anon..."
> you're becoming fatigued, this isn't good.
> Why didn't you bring some red pony?
>*clap clap clap*
> You turn around to see Anom, coming down the stairs from an invisible place
>"Anon, you did well. I'm surprised. You even managed to kill my sniper. Good help is hard to find nowadays"
"She was helping you, how can you even say that?"
>"If she couldn't take you out, then what good is she alive? She's just someone who deserved to die."
"All right, then how about we end this? Mano-a-Mano. And ill avenge that girl, and anyone else who died because you can't make any fucking friends"
> He smirks, then laughs
> "Oh Anon. Poor idiotic Anon. Did you really think that I would actually let you walk away with the girls that easily. Oh no no no. Do you see this?"
> He held up a remote, one big red button on it.
"Oh no, you fucking didn't"
>"I press this, and then in 30 mins"
>He clapped his hands "Poof, no more fucking ponies or pegasi, or any life at all"
> You move in closer, you hand on your gun
> He moves his finger closer to the button
"Ah, ah, ah"
> You stop where you are
"Come on, don't do this. Just think about what you're doing"
>"Oh, but I am"
> He throws the remote
