Currently Disclosable Information

 

Act One: Sudoshard

This is where our heroes will begin their adventure. Expect many rapid changes of location and situation, so we can keep this thing interesting.

 

Location: Sudoshard is a large township nestling against the southernmost point of Wall Victus, the first wall of Equestria.

Trade: Its general export is forest wood, select minerals from mines and  farm produce. The import is usually manufactured materials for the outer wall, from factories behind Wall Everfree: the second wall of Equestria. 

Population: Estimated 170,000 living in Sudoshard and outside of the town walls, in the surrounding countryside.

Current Time: It is just after midday.

Weather: The sky is clear but for a few chance clouds, but the atmosphere is muggy and full of heat. A storm is coming.

Setting: Sudoshard. The southern streets that are closer to the wall is a likely area to be located.

Scenario: The source of the sound and the light earthquake that followed only just became evident when the ponies turned their gaze upward. For a brief second all that everyone could see was what appeared to be a colossal red hoof. It rested on the wall, unmoving and mysterious. From behind Wall Victus, clouds of white steam pumped into the sky. All was quiet, and then the head appeared, it burst through the steam and examined with critical eyes those who watched below. A few shocked gasps and shrieks emanated throughout the city, but most were frozen in their own world of terror. A few loosed words of denial as they gaped at the Titan beyond the wall. Intelligent eyes gazed at the frightened mass of flesh below. What a pathetic race, but so delicious. Slowly, it lifted one front hoof off the ground and swung it back deliberatively. The people in the town felt the ground shake, wondering what was happening, some already having worked it out started to walk backwards at a fast trot. The Colossal Titan swung its giant foot forward... CRASH! A massive cloud of dust rippled out from the wall and heavy boulders rained down upon the houses, the streets, the ponies, crushing whatever they landed on. Through the dust, light shone. The wall had been breached.

 

You are among the other ponies in the crowd. You watch the Colossal Titan make the hole in Wall Victus. Now what do you do? Do you go home and check on your family? Do you stay to help a fellow pony injured by the falling rubble? Do you find a friend?

 

The end goal for this scenario is for all players to reach the evacuation point at the eastern docks. However you do it is fine by me, just remember to interact! 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Confusion and panic had spread out across the old town of Sudoshard, the part of town that was closest to the wall. A gaping hole had appeared in Wall Victus, through which there emerged titans. One awestruck blue Pegasus brushed a few auburn locks out of her face and froze in shock, staring at the towering monsters as her mind went straight into overdrive. Titans, as it turned out, were terrifying to behold; giant creatures in the shape of an equine being, but completely devoid of any bodily hair. The blue Pegasus shivered inadvertently as she caught a glimpse of one's face. It had lank brown hair and a rapacious grin that reached seemingly across all of its face. Two long rows of innumerable teeth drank in the light of the afternoon sun, and then they parted to release a dull roar. As the Pegasus watched on in horror, the grinning titan lifted a screaming unicorn high into the air, and for a moment paused to watch the terrified pony struggle in its hands. 

 

The blue Pegasus' eyes widened. Unable to look away, she watched the grinning titan place the Unicorn's tiny neck delicately between its teeth, and then bite down. A dark fountain of blood painted the grinning Titan's features; it multiplied the fear that the Pegasus already felt. "Fleetfire! Come on, we have to get out of here!"

The Pegasus looked away at the sound of the name being called, for it belonged to her. "Fleetfire, we have to go."

The desperately high sounding voice came from a small black Pegasus colt. He stared at her with dark eyes full of fear. Fleetfire could tell by the strain on his face that he was on the verge of despair, so she lifted him onto her back and galloped down a shadowy alley. A voice, shaky and thick with tears emanated from behind her "This should not be happening. Why? Why is this happening? Is this... is this a dream? Pl- please let this be a dream!"

Fleetfire snarled in anger, "Crin, please. Give it a rest already!"

 

The Pegasus called Crin went silent, except for the sound of panicked breathing. Fleetfire felt cruel, but she had a distinct feeling that if she and her younger brother Crinkles were to survive through this... this madness: she had to be strong. She kept her speed as the sound of screaming and the throb of heavy hoof-falls coalesced around them. "Listen, Crin. We have to make it to the Eastern Docks, but first, we should go and find mother, alright?"

A choked sob was all she received in reply, so with a decisive nod of her head, Fleetfire dug in her hooves and doubled her pace. The first place she knew to check would be the allotments, as that was where she usually found mother in the afternoon. The alley opened out onto a cobbled street strewn with rubble and bodies. To the left side of the road, a ten metre class titan trotted lazily towards them. They were gone before it noticed, down another dark alley opposite the previous one.

 

Smoke and dust tainted the sky above, turning the town around them into a large monotonous graveyard, given contrast by the blood pooling in gutters and dripping down walls. Fleetfire exited the alleyway with explosive force, barrelling leftward down a small road devoid of titans. Just above the roofs of the three-storey houses, Fleetfire could see the heads of a few lofty twenty metre class titans. In her distraction, she almost tripped over something. When she glanced around to see what it was, Fleetfire immediately regretted doing so. Half of what remained of a male Unicorn lay dead on the ground, a gory mess of what looked like his innards had been strewn across the street. His face was a picture of pain and fear in death. Fleetfire noted this mentally as, with a sick feeling in her stomach, she turned away and galloped even faster than before. On her back, Crinkles whimpered forlornly. "Crin! We're gonna get through this," Fleetfire shouted, wishing she had just spoken. "Just hold in there, you hear me?"

 

Just ahead, on an opposite street corner, was the entrance to the allotments. Rectangular plots of land bought out by townsfolk all over Sudoshard. Most of the ponies grew tomatoes, pumpkins or cress, but not their mother. She grew a vast array of beautiful flowers. Often, she would bring a bunch home and leave the place smelling aromatic. Heavy clouds had appeared above their heads, darkening the atmosphere appropriately. As they entered the allotments through a rusted steel gate, Fleetfire began to plead fearfully to nobody in particular. "Please. Let mother be okay. Let her... let her be fine. Please!"

Black Widow was in the street when the wall was breached. The sound of a piece of it collapsing near her had caused her ears to ring out, letting her hear only a loud scream as she saw the terrifying scene around her. Blood flecking the streets behind the titans, ponies, with their faces covered in tears and in an expression of fear and agony. She let out a scream, although she was not sure if it was blood curdling or simply a wheeze, because the ringing in her ears was still too strong. 

 

Run. Now. Get away. Move.

 

Slowly, but surely, Black Widow slowly backed away from the horrifying Titans that were approaching her. One seemed to be about 3 meters tall, and had it's face buried into the window of a small cottage. Once her hearing had returned, the one distinct sound she could hear from the building was a stallion screaming in agony. Her pace then quickened, causing her to turn tail and run, her long red mane and tail just barely showing the crimson fluid that had drenched it. 

 

The fear, the anger, and sadness, the confusion; all of it was too much for her mind to bear at once. She began to utter a mid-pitched sound, although nopony could tell if it was laughing, crying, screaming, or a little bit of all three.

 

The dock.

 

That's right, the dock. It was her only chance of not being devoured by some freakish giant. She made her way to the main road, doing her best not to push the ponies around her as she galloped as much as the burning pain in her legs would allow.

Lumière looked up at the gigantic beast, tears in her eyes. You've taken family, you've taken friends, and this time, well, this time you won't! She said in her mind, walking back from the giant. A safe zone; that's all she needed. She could see the faint outline of Mother, with Father, with Alicia! She smiled. Lumière looked around for an evacuation zone. She instantaneously spotted the eastern docks. The Titan, it would kill her if she didn't get their soon. Forgetting about her wings she ran, her golden curls flowing behind her like a current in air.

"Beast!" She screamed at the Titan, still running. Pain ached through her legs, but then she remembered; was she not a bat-pony? And what did bat-ponies have? She started flapping her wings, which lifted her into the air. She started flying fowards, the dock was near, very near. Lumière's wings hardly tired out as she got nearer. She looked behind her. "I'm sorry." She whispered to them, as if saying that if today was the day of their deaths it was her fault. Tears gathered in her eyes, she started gasping for breath in the strong winds. I must get there... For... Mother and Father... And little Alicia... She could hardly keep her thoughts organised. She started remembering all that kept her going; her family, the ones who had kept her going for so long.. She carried on, getting lower though faster. The winds starting easing back and her breaths became longer and deeper. She was nearly there. She had to get there...

But then she stopped. There was a pony. Under rubble. He had a lime green mane, and a dark blue coat. She recognised these traits. She ran to the pony. She started trying to clear the rubble on him. "Be ok... Be ok..." She tried to soothe him as she cleared it. As she cleared the rubble, she found he was weak. "We will be ok..." She noticed the Titan. The mindless beast was wrecking the place, as per usual. She put the saddlebag on his back, and lifted him onto her. He was a Pegasi, and very thin. Younger than her. He didn't weigh much, luckily. She ran, ran for her life. Ran for this pony's dear life. He was innocent. She was innocent. They must get out. She didn't care if she got a thank you, even a smile of thanks. The greatest thanks she could ever get would be him being alive and safe.

As Black Widow galloped, she picked out a bat-pony from the crowd, carrying an injured pegasus stallion. She seemed to be running at a decent pace, but so did the titans behind them all. Black Widow was close to the back of the crowd, so she was able to see most of the carnage that unfolded on those who were too slow, too young, too old, or too injured to run. The Titan close to her was a 5-meter class, with a straight black mane that covered most of its face, except for a crude frown on its mouth, which emitted a horrible smell of its past victims. Black Widow knew she could outrun them, they were mostly slow and stupid, right? She could only pray that at least the former was true.

 

She looked back to the bat-pony, and the pegasus who was probably her friend or brother. She noticed a titan behind them, about 4 meters high. It had a sickening expression of joy on its face, which was unimpeded by its short mane. She knew that if given time, it would eventually close in on them. She wasn't about to let this family be torn apart.

 

She picked up a nearby piece of wall, and using her magic, tossed it at the titan's face. 

 

"Hey flankhole! Over here!" She yelled out. She didn't plan on killing it, only distracting it. It seemed to be fairly easy for an non-impeded pony to outrun, so long as they kept their pace.

 

"Run!" She called out to the bat-pony, quickly turning into an alleyway as the titan followed after her, its smile never fading. She was hoping that the alleyway wasn't a dead-end, or maybe that somepony from the Garrison would help her. She could only hope now...

Lumière fully understood what the other pony was doing; but knew that most alleyways have dead ends. She quickened her pace, swiftly going from the front of the running crowd to the back.Must... Get there... Was her only trail of thought. One of her hooves hit the ground, a big crack being heard.
"Have mercy on our souls..." She whimpered, still quick but slower due to limping. Suddenly, she found herself right in the heart of the crowd. The stallion on her seemed to grow heavier, and she collapsed. This woke him up. He jumped off of her and looked around. He obviously knew about the Titans. He heaved Lumière onto him. His pace, ever quicker than Lumière's, was so fast he got into the front in no time. As Lumière came to she saw she was on the pony's back.
"N-No... Got to help..." She said weakly. He frowned at her. "When we get there, we must... Help..." She waved her hoof. It was broken. She sighed, and got off of the other pony. He shot off. She galloped foward, trying her hardest to get there.

Cabbage patches and gourd roots hindered Fleetfire's hasty progress through the huge allotments, attempting to trip her up or slow her down. Crinkles had his head buried in her neck and was sobbing profusely. "Fleetfire... Fa- Father Clave said that the- the Wall would never let the Titans through! Why has this happened?"

At the sound of that name, Fleetfire gritted her teeth. Father Clave, a religious zealot of Sudoshard. He and his followers believed that the walls were deities and that it was blasphemy to touch them. They called it the Balkrian Faith, for there was long ago one high prophet called Balk who had been given a vision, wherein he spoke to the deities that were the walls. So, basically some madman tells everyone that the walls were deities and could never be destroyed. Well, mused Fleetfire as her eyes looked back at the wall, where the hole was still acting as an entrance for the Titans, so much for that belief. As she rushed through the empty plots of dirt she saw, through a thick layer of dust picked up by a sudden wind, a figure cantering towards them. It was mother, it had to be. But, as the dust settled, Fleetfire knew it could not be, for this pony was a unicorn. The pony slowed down and looked upon the two Pegasi with deeply haunted eyes. "Taffy, is that you?"

 

A tear ran down the Unicorns' cheek and she nodded, her mouth limp and quivering. "I- I tried to keep her safe," the pony called Taffy said through uncontrollable sobs, "I tried to save her, I really did. But I couldn't stop it from taking her!"

Fleetfire looked at the weeping Unicorn and felt tears of her own touching her eyes. She placed a reassuring hoof on the pony's back. "Who, Taffy? Someone in your family?"

Eyes burning with emotion, Taffy looked up slowly to meet Fleetfire's gaze. "My- I don't have any family. Fleet, I'm so sorry, I tried to... it ate your mother!"

Those words, like a hoof to the ribs, sent Fleetfire reeling back, her emotions immediately thrown into disarray. She stepped back unsteadily. "Don't kid, Taffy," she said nervously, her expression turning strained as the Unicorn remained silent. To the pit of her stomach, she felt more numb than frostbitten ears. On her back, Crinkles had fallen unusually silent, but Fleetfire felt his tears touch her neck. At that moment, she let out a quiet sob. "You're joking, aren't you Taffy? Taffy! Answer me!"

Taffy swallowed and backed away, "I tried to save her, I promise. But I..."

 

"You what? What did you do? Nothing!" replied Fleetfire in a spiteful tone. She hit the Taffy in the face, sending her reeling back, and followed up with another hard jab to the ribs. The sudden loss had pushed her over the edge; she had lost all sense of control. But, at that moment, Crinkles screamed. "Fleetfire, watch out!"

At that moment, a large hoof came crashing down upon Taffy, crushing the unsuspecting Unicorn into the ground. A pool of blood spread out around the giant hoof. "What..." whispered Fleetfire, feeling the rage inside her turn into an inferno. She turned to face the Titan who had put its face close to the ground to leer at them, and hit the ugly beast on the lips. "You piece of shit. I'LL KILL YOU!"

The Titan opened its mouth and Fleetfire went cold inside. Blood coated its teeth. Fleetfire wondered how many had ponies it had killed and eaten, maybe even her mother. Instead of anger now, she felt a heavy depression settle upon her. Even there, she stood and mourned as the titan reached out with its bloodstained hooves. Crinkles cried out behind her, but Fleetfire had not the strength to react, she only felt weak and done. A tear fell from her cheek.

 

The wind shifted slightly and something whistled past her face. Her eyes opened, and she found herself looking at a thick wire attached to a grappling hook. "The Survey Corps," Fleetfire whispered hoarsely. A moment later and the air was knocked out of her lungs, as a strong foreleg tightened around her midriff and her feet left the ground. At that moment, the world became small below them, it echoed with disembodied screams and the thud of heavy hooves. Above her head, the sky was cupped by a vast wall of grey cloud that crackled with static energy but, to those many ponies in Sudoshard, the tempest had already arrived.

The alleyway that Black Widow had entered was fortunately not a dead-end, but led to one of the less-used paths. There were still several ponies on it, but not nearly as many as there were on the main path to the exit. She had kept galloping towards said exit, but it wasn't long before she heard the sounds of grappling hooks and wires being reeled up. It seems that the Survey Corps arrived. She knew that there was no way they could stop the titans from coming in, but at least they would slow their advance long for the survivors to escape, hopefully. 

 

She came into a clearing, and found that the bat-pony that she had tried to save was safe, at least as safe as she could get, in the arms of a member of the Survey Corps.

 

"Brave ponies." She thought out loud, getting ever closer to the exit. Titans were still approaching, but as long as she didn't trip or lost her way, she could stay ahead of them just fine. 

 

'Just don't let us lose more than we already have... please...' She mentally begged to whatever entities were watching over them, if there were any at all.

Strike walked out of the candy store like any other day carrying his saddlebags full of maps and other documents to be handed to the museum. But little did he know that this day would change his life forever. As soon as he walked out he and everybody around him heard a trembling noise. They all looked at the wall and there, they saw... A Titan. Strike simply closed his eyes. No panic turn around slowly.... But his line of thought stopped as a great explosion on the wall sent rubble flying into them. Strike looked up as it was instinct he jump to the side dodging a rock that ended up crashing into the candy store. Strike looked at the destruction, for a moment. Need to get to the safezone, quick.. With that he started to run through the different alleys instead of the main road, most likely would be crowded by everypony trying to flee. 

 

Going left and right he tried to maneuver the town without taking any main roads, but his luck was about to run out he had to cross one before continuing, it was then that he heard. "EVERYPONY RUN!!!" He halted to a complete stop, looking the main road through the alley. There he saw a group of ponies running and what it looked like a ten meters after them. Inside the wall how? Strike moved his head left and right so he could focus again. He ran past the main road ignoring the ponies that were being chased down by the Titan. 

 

After some more maneuvers  through the alleys he found another Titan this one had it's eyes fixed on two colts a pegasus and a earth pony. Strike wasn't the kind of pony who would help another in such situation, but they were children, and in Strike's mind children were a symbol of innocence he wouldn't let children be eaten by such vile creature. Strike took a deep breath and charged at the titan making as much noise as possible. "HEY OVER HERE COME GET ME" He yelled. The 10 meters titan simply looked at him and splattered both of the two with his hoof. Strike entered in a state of shock. The titan proceeded to smile at Strike showing his blood coated teeth and also what it looked like a pony leg jammed between his teeth. 

 

 

Strike heard another explosion which woke him up from the shock, the Titan launched himself at tremendous speed. Strike could only turn around and gallop as fast as he could through the main road. Shit shit.... He's gaining on me.... Strike briefly looked back to see the Titan on his tail, and to make matters worse the main road was ending into a two way road.  Strike had to think quickly before he reached the two way. Left?.... Right?...... Through..Strike ran and crashed through the window of a house which sent him flying through the living room and over the counter that separated the living room and the kitchen. Strike didn't even had time to get up and another explosion was heard this time much closer. The hoof of the titan had crashed the entire living room he would have been dead if it wasn't for the counter.

 

 

Strike laid there for a couple of minutes at least until he was sure that the monster was gone. Strike sat down on the floor and did a quick check on how he was. He had a couple of bruises on the general region of his ribs and a couple of small cuts on the left side of his face,probably due to the broken glass when he crashed through the window. Ok... I... I think I can manage still... Suddenly he felt something next to him, a warm liquid touched his right hoof. He looked to the side to see the body of a pony without a head... Blood spilling from it's neck. That startled Strike making him fall to the side "Wooaah" Strike was breathing heavily he never been so close to death before. N...N....No.... P...P... Pan.... Panic. Calm down. With shaky hooves he reached to his pockets and there he found a small candy cane... He brought the candy to his mouth and the sweet taste helped him to concentrate... At least for the moment.... I need to get... to the Eastern Docks... If I'm not mistaken the docks are relatively close by.... But still the threat of the Titans... I don't know if I can be so lucky two times in the same day.... The fast way is to go through the main road until I reach the docks, the long way is through the alleys.... Hmm... Main road it is...

 

 Strike left through the backdoor which lucky led straight to the main road. He galloped as fast as he could but something unexpected happened a Titan appeared in the road between him and the safezone he quickly thought of turning around but when he did, he saw that another one had just turned the corner. Shit... I'm gonna die here...Strike closed his eyes putting his front hooves over his head. But then he could suddenly hear a strange noise, one that could only be compared to a zip line noise Strike looked up to see the iron lines attached to a building and ponies flying at a ridiculous fast speed and attacking the Titans. Survey Corps? Strike took this chance to flee the scene.

 

 

(Pant* Pant* There... I got it... pant* pant* Up to when the Survey Corp shows up pant* pant* I'm never doing this again Pant* Pant*))

As she left her home for the morning, there were few thoughts on Potipah's mind. Being from a rich family, she lived surrounded by all three walls and her own ignorance to the lives being lost daily outside of the outermost barricade. She was content, few things troubled her that were anything more than petty concerns. Today was no different, another round of the planet about the sun. Titans were on the prowl, but she was so far from them that it was no concern. However, today she would see the savage giants in person.

 

Being a medical student in one of the best schools had allowed her the chance to go to the top of the wall and look out upon the land that ponies no longer controlled. She would finally be able to see the horizon without it being blocked by the cocoon of stone. The land that had been lost to the titans so many generations ago. They were giving the students a chance to look out at the titans because they wanted to see if any deductions could be made about how best to defeat the titans. What was known so far about the titans was insufficient for there to be any hope that equidae would ever be free from the firm grasp of titans.

 

-----

 

Potipah readied herself to scale the wall, when something appeared atop the wall. An brown-coated instructor put out a hoof in front of her, looking up at the cloud of dust that had appeared above. She caught a glimpse of his expression. His brow was furrowed and his teeth clenched together. He was angry, confused.

 

"Frostfire?" He started, his voice firm and loud. "If you're trying to scare them off, you just wait as see what--" He paused. His brown, gold-tinted ears fell back and his jaw dropped. The cream-coated earth pony continued studying him, now raising an eyebrow. What was wrong? Surely he hadn't been scared by Frostfire too, there was no way that could have been a titan.

 

However, in all ways possible, it happened to be the case that the cloud of dust had been summoned by a titan. It was not dust, but steam.

 

Potipah looked up to the top of the wall, where a gargantuous red hoof rested. No, it wasn't red... Upon squinting to assert he knowledge, she found the muscle to be exposed. A growing pillar of steam erupted from the body of the beast, soon swelling to form a cloud. She might have stayed there, looking at it, for minutes before she finally took in the tugging she felt on her shoulder from the same brown hoof that had warned her to go no further. There was a voice, too. Urgent, demanding, certain. A voice that knew fear but had no power to stop those who caused adrenalin to thunder through their trembling veins.

 

"We need to get away! WE CAN'T STAY HERE! YOU'LL DIE! RUN!"

 

She turned and started running, or would have, but at that moment an earthquake caused the ground to tremble. Along with this convulsion, a great force from behind the wall - no doubt, the titan - bucked the wall, making a hole open with a sound louder than she had ever heard. Her ears burned red-hot from the massive sound, but she was too late to grab them and was sent through the air like a rag doll, bouncing off a building before falling flat on the cobbled ground.

 

She looked up for a moment, disregarding the intense pain of a long scar along her stomach and several grazes, along with a knock to the head. Everyone else was running. She watched as a brown-coated pony looked back regretfully, tears raging in his eyes. He then looked up. A massive hoof lifted him from the ground.

 

In the protection of the awning of a bakery, Potipah closed her eyes and blacked out.

Sparks sprayed the ground around the red earth pony's feet. His shop was filled with the clattering racket of his work as he continued his delicate task of separating metal from metal. The diamond-tipped teeth of his saw bit deep into the steel pipe, heating the metal to a bright, red hot glow. The pony focused his unblinking attention on the pipe. He was only halfway through and it was slow work, but it was a cleaner cut than using oxyacetylene. Something irked him though -- a slight jolt in the pipe, a jump in the cut. Tinker stopped pushing down against the handle of the saw for a moment and let his eyes look over the blade as it spun down to make sure it hadn't cracked. No damage, he thought to himself, shrugging it off as the loud whirring of the blade again filled the shop. Must've just been one of those things. Unexplainable. He pressed on, now nearing the 3/4 mark of his cut when the table shook again, this time more obviously. Tinker flipped the switch on the saw again, letting it spin down to a stop. As he glanced around, he noticed a few of his hanging tools swaying slightly against the wall. Tremors? This is... unusual... He heard nothing. The shop was dead silent now. He lifted a hoof up to his ears and pulled his earplugs out.

 

As he set them down on the table, the shop again rattled, this time with enough force to shake many of the tools from their racks. They clattered to the floor with loud clangs, knocking things off the tables beneath them as they were scattered across the floor. A paint can was shaken from the shelf and fell, splattering a puddle across the floor on the other side of the room. Severely annoyed, curious, and a little unsure of what was happening, Tinker walked over to the garage door and picked the rope up in his mouth. With a heave, he yanked the folding metal door up above his head. What he saw was something he never thought he would see in all his life. A rock the size of a bus landed in the street directly outside his shop. The ponies who had been unfortunate enough to be in its path were lost beneath the crumbling stone as it skidded and rolled down the street, crushing others in its path. No, this... what is this? Why is this happening? Why... he thought as he turned back to the source of the boulder. A loud, rumbling groan echoed like thunder across the city as a massive abomination stepped through a breach in the wall. It was disgusting, horrifying, and terrifying. Tinker could almost feels its gaze descending upon him as it surveyed the city with hungry eyes.

 

There was no time to grab anything; every fiber of his being told him to run. So he did. The red pony's hooves caught no traction as he peeled out on the sidewalk, desperate to get anywhere else but where he was. Tinker took off in the opposite direction as fast as he could, passing by frozen and stunned onlookers. He had no idea where he was going. His only instinct was to get as far away from there as possible, regroup himself, and figure out the rest if he even made it out alive. Down the street he ran, the only indications of his imminent failure reflected in the opposite-facing ponies' eyes. The things were coming in, and they were trekking across the city at an alarming rate. Wails echoed, noises he could only assume were the final sounds many of his fellow townsponies would ever make again. It sickened him, but he couldn't help but turn around. He immediately regretted it, as he became aware that he hadn't really made it quite the fifty miles he felt like he had just run. One of those things had turned down the road he was running on and was in the process of ending a hoof-full of ponies in a gruesome, carnivorous display. He couldn't contain himself, the juices inside him longed to change their residence. They soon found themselves in a puddle in front of him as he purged his stomach of its contents once, twice, and then again.

 

He stood looking over his own vomit, too afraid to carry on even as ponies rushed past him. He was frozen in fear. Never in his life had he seen another pony being killed. Never had he seen them being crushed in such gruesome detail. Never had he even heard of such a thing occurring. Never had he heard the screams of a pony who knew his life was over -- who knew he would never see his children or wife again. The thoughts passing through his head sickened him again, but he had nothing else to throw up. His stomach tightened and his dry heaves sent him into a downward plunge. Tinker landed nose-first into the hard pavement, a warm, thick liquid running down the front of his nose. He felt nothing but a clenching in his gut, though he could hear what sounded like a stampede of hooves coming towards him, accompanied by frenzied yells and cries. One of those things was still coming, and it was coming quick.

 

Tinker had no power to move, though, and he cried out for help as the herd of ponies rushed by him. There must have been fifty or more running in that massive cluster of desperation and fear. But one heard his plea and skidded to a stop, dashing back to where he lay. "Come on, get UP!" the mare cried, tugging at his mane, "GET UP!" She dragged him by his mane, much to his displeasure and relief, underneath a nearby awning. The titan was too transfixed by the large mass of lunch running ahead that it missed the pair, stepping its fleshless legs directly next to them as it lumbered after the herd.

 

"What the HELL were you doing?! Trying to get yourself killed?!" she screamed at him, barely restraining herself from bloodying the rest of his face. "You're just lucky I was nice enough to drag you here." The mare sighed and sat back on her rump, placing her head in her hooves. Tinker shook his head and propped himself up. He was a little dazed and in shock, "I... no. I wasn't... I am the hell I was doing was... well... I..."

 

The mare put a hoof on his muzzle, shushing him. "Just... just rest a second, breathe. I understand, and I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap, it's just... a little hectic right now, to understate it completely."

 

Tinker nodded as he wiped the blood pouring from his nose. The mare took notice out of the corner of her eye, turning herself to get a better look at him, "Hey, are you alright? You ready to stand up and keep moving?"

 

"Yeah, I'm... I'm fine now, I think. I just... let's go, I don't want to stick around here any longer," he said, standing himself up on his wobbly legs. Tinker extended a hoof to the mare, who took it graciously. "By the way, I'm Tinker, who're you?"

 

"Thanks," she replied, "I'm Solemn Rose." Rose pointed to the east before speaking again, "I heard they're loading up evacuations over near the docks. I would guess that would be a good place to start heading for. Let's go, there isn't much time to waste."

 

The pair headed off towards the eastern portion of the massive city. It was the only section that had no major wall, and the opening was clearly visible from almost any location in the city. But the titans weren't dumb. They could see the masses flocking to the east, and they were on a hunger run towards the fastest food section on the menu. As the two passed a corner, a thundering roar brought them to a screeching halt. A titan had been kneeling down behind a row of buildings. Its' face was splotched with a dark red liquid. Fresh. On the opposite side of the buildings, it had cornered a small group of ponies. It smiled as it took them in one bite, and it smiled at Tinker and Rose as it turned its body to face them. Both of the ponies' eyes opened wide as they glanced at each other for a moment. There was only one way to get closer to the docks from where the two were standing, and a hungry titan was directly between them and their salvation. Tinker scrunched up his face and swiped the blood from his face. The titan caught sight of it and its smile widened. Tinker noticed that, between the two of them, the creature had set its sights on him, not Rose.

 

"I'm not gonna debate with you on this. I owe you. You run. Just GO!" he cried, giving her no time to refuse as he ran straight towards the creature. It watched as he approached, but it was not phased. As the tiny earth pony grew closer, the titan simply struck out with a flick of its hoof, sending the pony flying back from whence he came. A strange feeling overtook Tinker; one that he was not used to in the slightest. He was not on the ground anymore, but was, in fact, flying about ten feet above the ground backwards. The feeling did not last long, and was soon replaced with piercing, agonizing pain. Looking down, two wrought iron posts stood erect from his abdomen. He had been thrown back and landed on the top of an iron fence. The mare, who had been shocked by Tinker's actions, looked on in horror as blood pooled around him. Only when she looked back at the titan did she realize it was advancing. Then she ran, and the titan followed, its predatory instincts more interested in the moving prey scurrying away from it. Soon, it had blundered past him and after the mare, closing rapidly until a high-pitched squall and a sudden stop marked the end of poor Rose.

 

But that left one problem: now he himself was likely to suffer the same fate, only at the degrading hooves of a fence.

Strike went back to his original strategy of going in between alleys, full of rocks dead corpses and scattered limbs This is fucked up...At least now that the Survey Corp is here I can have some extra time to reach the safezone He kept running for another 5 minutes until he had to turn left to reach the main road. The main road was a complete mess of destruction, blood and gore all over the place.

 

Strike kept moving until he noticed something up ahead What? What is that? Upon getting closer to the object he noticed it was a pony impaled in a fence and he stopped. "Oh shit... What a way to go...." Well just another dead... Strike was about to walk away when he saw the pony slowly breathing. Leave him... Leave him.... Strike you got survive this one is as good as dead... But.. he still breathing...  Strike looked left and right nopony was in sight and not a titan either for that matter.... Was the Survey Corp leading the titans out of the evacuation zone? Strike thought for a brief moment.

 

He took a deep breath "Ok... If you can hear me....I'm gonna pull you out... Hang in tight" Strike stretched his wings. Now it's that time that I really wish I did my workout when father told me to do so.... Strike slowly flew above the red earth pony.

and grabbed it's front legs. "Alright I'm gonna count to three" He took another deep breath. "One Two Three!"

 

((Sorry Squint I'm nowhere near the wall I can't save you))

Fear. That was the smell that, Fleetfire had surmised, now hung over the bleak little town  that protruded from the wall. At that moment, she traced the foreleg holding holding her in place to its owner, and found herself face to face with the scarred visage of a grey earth pony. He glanced down and met her eyes briefly, cold and watery. Not a hint of a smile came over his face nor a shred of reassurement left his lips, instead the pony just fired out further grapple shots as they continued to soar over rooftops at an alarmingly fast rate. For a moment, Fleetfire closed her eyes and let the tears run freely, for never had she met so much horror and death in her lifetime, and never had she expected to lose her mother so soon. Mother, Fleetfire meditated over the open pit of loss she felt, I'm so sorry! I'm sorry I could not save you. With swifter motions, the soldier pulled them into a descent. They were headed towards a more quiet part of town, which seemed rare at this point, as there were titans all over the place. They hit the cobbled street at a sprint, pushed on by the heavy stallion's momentum. Crinkles had barely moved since the horror of what had happened to Taffy, in fact he had gone completely limp. Fleetfire decided it was for the best, with a quick glance at the unconscious Pegasus just barely clinging on to her back.

 

"Uh, thanks," she said, as she turned to face the soldier, only to find that he had gone. With a sigh and a dejected shrug, Fleetfire picked up her hooves and cantered warily down the gore-coated street, taking cautious observations as she did. Wails of agony and despair still met her ears, but worst of all, the smell of death became stronger. A few collapsed buildings littered half of the street, displaying a mass carnage of crushed bodies and disembodied pleas for help. True to her fear, Fleetfire moved around the wreckage and cantered on, knowing in her mind that she could not have saved them, but hating herself for it. She knew where she had to go from her current location to reach the docks; intersecting the current street was a primary road that she would turn right along and, at the end of that road, she would arrive at the docks. "Hold on tight, Crin," Fleetfire cautioned, digging her hooves into the cobbles, "we're almost there."
Fleetfire galloped down the remainder of the street and came onto the road- THWACK. She found herself flying sideways and then hit the ground bouncing uncontrollably.

 

The force of the impact from whatever it was had taken the wind out of her, and something else that coated the inside of her mouth and tasted like crap. Fleetfire continued to bounced along the hard road until she finally slid to a painful stop. The ground throbbed, causing more discomfort in her abdominal region, but she found the strength to move onto her hooves just barely. Blood dripped from a deep cut in her head, scratches laced her body like red ribbons, somewhere inside Fleetfire felt broken ribs abrading against each other. The throbbing sensation reverberated through her again, and this time she took actual notice of what had hit her so hard; it was hard not to notice, as it so happened. A bearded twenty-metre class titan leered at her with an unpleasant many-toothed smile, but then its gaze transferred from her to a small bundle some ten metres closer to it. Fleetfire screamed and ran towards the unmoving bundle, "Crinkles!"

But it was too late, as the titan scooped up her brother and dangled him in the air above its mouth. No cries or words came from Crinkles, he just stared uncomprehendingly into the dark void before him, and then the teeth ended it all.

 

Fleetfire stood very still as her brother's blood rained down on the paving stones. Her eyes widened in shock, but for some reason she could not move or scream or cry. Instead she fell to her knees and stared at the puddle of blood at the titan's feet. The pain was unbearable, a raging torrent of emotion, but it was pent up inside of her like a flooding river against a dam.  She found herself standing again and slowly walking towards the massive titan as its huge tongue licked bloodied lips in what seemed to be pure delight. Her pace quickened, and soon Fleetfire was stood just five metres away from the towering creature as it stared lazily down at her. She made no move, but to tighten her grip on a sharp piece of metal that she had found on the floor. With a yawn, the titan leaned down to pick Fleetfire off the ground but, as it did so, a faint and familiar whistling noise distracted it. The titan turned towards the source of the noise, just as the Survey Corps swooped in upon it. In a struggle to protect its weak spot, the twenty metre titan crashed back against a building and swiped at the fast-moving militants, knocking a few out of the sky. One, a Pegasus, snapped open a pair of wings and attempted to fly away, but not before a hoof came up and smacked the hapless creature out of the sky.

 

Fleetfire finally snapped, her whole body shook with rage and grief, and all she could do was scream. "You fucking killed my brother! You..." she roared defiantly. Tears flew from her strained face as she ran towards the flailing titan and, with all the strength she could muster, buried the sharp piece of metal in its right foreleg. The steel cut her hooves badly, but a deep sense of satisfaction came over her as the titan roared and fell onto its knees. It was a moment of opportunity for the Survey Corps; with blades glinting, they fell upon the titan’s back and sliced it all the way down. Without another moment’s notice, they had gone, but for one of them. A solitary figure bearing the blue and white symbol of the Survey Corps landed in front of Fleetfire.

A hoof rested on her shoulder. “I’m sorry,” a female voice said. Fleetfire looked up, her eyes burning with rage and, without bothering to reply, shoved the mare’s hoof away. “Where were you when he needed you?”

The soldier looked away sorrowfully. “We tried,” she whispered as her eyes filled with tears, “this… this is a massacre!”

 

With one last momentary glance in the direction of the fallen titan, Fleetfire turned and walked down the gore-splattered road. “Hey, wait!”
The soldier held a hoof out to her. “You helped us kill that titan. The Survey Corps could do with ponies like you.”

Fleetfire stood still for a moment longer, considering what had been said, and then acknowledged the other pony with a firm nod of her head. “I’ll join the Survey Corps,” she said determinedly, “and when I do, I will kill every damn titan I see! Until they’re all dead!”
She walked off, leaving the carnage and the loss far behind.

Lumière could see the evacuation point clearly now. A young filly, similar in appearance to her, flew around. It was Alicia. If her family were safe... What about others? Those who were saving ponies lives or were injured who could be in serious danger... She turned around from the East Docks. Titans were destroying houses all around her. Quietly, she slipped into the shadows. Both unafraid and determined, she walked to find others.

She was now near the wall; a large hole like a gateway to hell in it. She looked closely for survivors. Suddenly, she saw a pony. What a wonderful sight it was to her. Sadly, her injuries were not as wonderful. A large scar and many grazes told her that this pony was in need and she had been injured by the beasts know as Titans. She bent her neck down and looked closer. As far as she knew, there could be a Titan coming any second. She started to try and tug her into a near by alleyway, hoping it wouldn't be a dead end.

((By the way it's you, Squint, who I'm trying to save.))

James woke up to screams, shouts of agony and disaster, he quickly woke up, looking around, "Another of these horrible dreams james.." He tought to himself, after he saw some blood spatter on his window. He gasped, and quickly scurried around to room. "I-f.. this is an actual a-ttack.." He gulped, toughts running trough his mind, he grabbed a small saddle bag and scurried out of his house.

He saw a titan. "S-weet celestia.." He stumbled backwards, running to the streets, corpses and blood everywhere, after a few minutes of running trough all the screaming ponies, he saw a large, gaping hold in the wall "Sweet mother of.." He stopped, noticing someponies amongts the rubble. He ran towards them, hoping to not get squished by any rubble.

He ran from alleyways to alleyways, trying to get to them.

At the docks now, Fleetfire watched as survivors were loaded onto ferries and taken up the river and out of the town walls. She would wait until the last ferry, she wanted to be there to help those last survivors who made it to the evacuation zone. "Mummy, that mare looks sad!"

Fleetfire started at the sound of the young filly's voice; it belonged to a small blue earth pony with bright green eyes. She was looking directly up at Fleetfire. Tears formed in her own, as she was reminded of her younger brother and the death that he had suffered. She looked at the filly's mother, who held her protectively close, and said, "keep her well safe, you hear?"

The mother, with a tear stained and haunted visage, nodded and pulled her daughter even closer. Fleetfire returned her gaze to the docks as the next ferry of blood-stained and muddied survivors went up the river, all of them with haunted expressions of their own. It had started to rain intensely, the sky now rumbled with the thunderous echo of natural energy, and lightning permeated the windswept skies. I can't help but feel like we are rats fleeing a flooding sewer, Fleetfire mused darkly, because in more ways than I can count, a storm has come upon us this day.

Tinker moaned in agony, struggling to remove himself from the bars that gripped him. He could feel the warmth streaming out of his body with every bit of movement, but he felt every motion was as close as any to sliding up and off the bars. Of course, it was no use. He was stuck, dying, but he didn't want to believe it for a moment. Again, he placed his hooves against the bars and struggled, trying his hardest to push himself up but barely managing to lift himself an inch. Blood began to pool beneath him; he was beginning to get exhausted very quickly as the weight of his legs and head pulled him down, stretching his spine between the bars that pierced up through his intestines. As he relaxed his head and neck, he staggered out a shaky exhale that gave way to a deep, thick cough. It seemed pretty hopeless -- he would die here.
 
He gave another groan and tried his best to lift his torso back up to see the damage. A few moments later, he had managed to grab hold of the bars and drag his body forward to see. It looked bad; the wrought iron fence had met little resistance as he landed and his spine felt misaligned from the impact. He was rather lucky the rod hadn't hit his spine in the first place, but that didn't detract from the pain or fact that he was still doubly impaled and losing a lot of blood over the matter. Once more, he placed his hooves between the adjacent bars and strained to push. Feeling his legs beginning to give out, he let himself back down again. The metal scraped eerily inside him as pain spider-webbed through his body. He let himself lie back again, now thoroughly convinced that in ten to twenty minutes, he would bleed out and be left here on this fence. He forced another breath out and resigned himself to die peacefully. But something caught his eye to his right. Turning his head, he saw another pony debating whether or not to approach. "What a way to go..."
 
"No, wait! H-help! I'm still..." he struggled, trying to levitate himself off the bars with his willpower. It failed and he didn't move an inch, but he was starting to get a bit panicky, realizing there was a glimmer of hope and just how much he desired to not die that day. "Get me... get me...! Get me off! Help me!" he cried desperately as the pony approached.
 
On the count of three, he heard. His mind didn't register what was about to happen, only that he was about to be freed from this little trap. One... Two... Three! Tinker yelped and screamed as he was lifted slowly up and off the bars. He could feel them sliding through his body and the warm blood and guts inside moving to fill the void created by the rods. It was agonizing. The pain didn't stop; it kept coming, rushing in, and out, with the opening of the wounds. In his mind, though, he knew he was off the fence and that there was a chance for him now, even if it was a small one. He had been hurt before working in his shop, but never so severely as this.
 
He clutched a hold of the pony tightly to steady himself on his shaky legs, the blood drooling rapidly from his underside. Tinker opened his mouth and panted, nearly falling to the ground as an unexpected surge hit his system. Again he felt weak, lethargic, and unable to move without pain. Tinker clutched at his wounds with a hoof. He knew they had to stop the bleeding before he ran out of the precious liquid, but he had nothing else to hold it with. He didn't even know what to say or suggest, but it kept coming. His eyes got wide and he looked around shiftily, unsure of what to say apart from a quiet, "Th-thank... you... w-will we... make it? Will I... m-?"

Black Widow had kept on running until she was almost certain that Titans were not nearby. Her legs felt as if though they were on fire, and her already red mane was coated in the blood of the Titans' prey, some she knew, some she loved, and some whose names she didn't even know. She could do nothing to save them, except distract one small Titan away from two ponies. 

 

'Is that it? Is that all I can do? Is my only way of fighting back throwing rubble at them? I'm helpless...' She thought to herself as she stopped, dead in her tracks. She was about 10 meters away from the exit, and she could barely remember what she did. She remembered screaming, crying, the sound of gargantuan hooves thudding on the ground, and blood... so much blood...

 

She got down onto her belly, took in a sharp breath, and just started sobbing, wailing loudly as HE rounds flew above her head, causing strands of her mane to flap about wildly. The explosions were nearly deafening, and there was still screaming.. the painful screaming of a mother losing her child, a brother losing his sister, a pony losing their best friend.. agony.

 

She forced herself to move forward, her face tear-stained as she shuffled slowly, trying not to fall to the ground in helplessness again. Soldiers flew past her on their Three-Dimensional maneuver gear, screaming in rage as they went to face the monsters that tore apart their once peaceful land. She watched one, a grey pegasus stallion with a black mane, using his wings and jets of gas from his gear to propel himself forward, shooting a hook straight into a titan's forehead, whipping around and slicing out a semi-circle of peach-colored flesh from it's neck, emitting blood and stream as it fell.

 

This. This is who I'll become. She tightened one of her hooves in frustration and anger.

 

I'll hunt them, just as they hunted us. I'll tear them to pieces, just as they have done to our people. She rose slowly, facing the titans, and with her face covered in tears and flecked with blood, she shrieked.

 

"I'LL KILL YOU ALL!!" She lowered after yelling, turning around and galloping to the exit, just as the others around her did as cannons thundered and soldiers flew straight into Hell, ready to fight the demons that she found impossible not to be frightened by. She neared the gate, and looked one last time into the place that was once her home.

 

Sudoshard, the place that was once a symbol for hope for ponykind, was now nothing but smoldering rubble. Building were in flames, Titan skeletons, as well as a few pony skeletons, littered the landscape, and a thick steam blanketed the air. 

 

"I don't know how, but one day... we'll take this back from you demons..." She thought aloud, before turning around one last time and trotting away from the war going on behind her.

Strike pulled red earth pony slowly but surely until he was finally out. He felt the earth pony grabbing him tightly trying to to stay up. Damn... That's a heavy pony... he shook his head to look at the state of the pony...He wasn't well... two holes on abdomen it's amazing this guy ain't out yet But Strike's line of thought when he heard to pony speaking. He closed his eyes for a second and reached for his pocket grabbing another piece of candy cane. With that he chugged the candy in the pony's mouth. "Keep quiet... I'll get there"

 

Strike then proceeded to move in such a way where he was under the pony and lifted him onto his back. Ouff.... That's a big pony... What were they feeding this thing? He slowly trotted through the empty desolated street. Ever so cautious of any Titan that might show up.

 

Upon finally reaching the safezone Strike was met by three military ponies that were assisting the injured ponies. The middle one which looked like it was the leader a silver maned blue pegasus ordered the other two to pick up the red earth pony out of Strike's back on so they did. Most likely taking him to the makeshift infirmary they set up.

 

The pegasus looked back at Strike and while tapping on his shoulder. "You seem to handle yourself pretty well out there, why don't you join the force?"

 

Strike looked at his shoulder and then at the pegasus while raising an eybrow "Do you mean this pathetic excuse for an army?"

 

The pegasus went quiet.

 

And Strike continued " I saw how great your response team was, they can do a number on the titans. to bad that doesn't work when half of the population is already dead"

 

Strike walked away towards the ferry, then turning one last time. "Yeah I'll join the force, but just to show your asses how is it done"

 

While waiting for the ferry Strike sat on the ground and pulled his last candy cane....

Water ran down the cracks between the paving stones of Sudoshard docks. Hollow and cold inside, Fleetfire's gaze was led to the left, and she found herself looking at an equally grim white Pegasus with purple bat-wings. A candy cane was clasped in his hooves. Hesitantly, she stood up from the wet paving stones, and approached the quiet bat-pony. A shiver ran through her as the rain intensified for a brief moment. She sat down on next to the other pony, "are you ok?"
Overhead, the dark skies rumbled, muffling distant wails of agony and fear.

Strike just kept looking straight ahead, the empty destroyed street. Why? He wasn't sure himself, he wasn't particularly waiting for anypony, but there he stood. He felt the rain falling on him and watched the water falling on the stone. But his daydream was cut loose by a voice. It was a light blue pegasus mare. Without turning to her he simply said "As okay as it gets" He brought the candy to his mouth, and stood quiet for a moment, before speaking again. "100 years to train the military... " Strike briefly sighted "100 years fighting Titans, and in the end it is all for nothing.... The population pays the toll"

Lumière pulled the hurt pony into the alleyway and sighed. She had her back against the wall as she sat. She just watched the pony, her head slowly drifting to the side. I hope she makes it... These beasts... They have no kindness in their souls... She thought slowly, twirling her hair around her hoof. Her face was emotionless as she sat there, feeling as if life was just another disaster after another. She got up. She walked towards the pony. She bent her neck down.
"Not many physical injuries... Though what they may have did to her might even go behind physical injuries..." She mumbled, biting her tongue. Today was a dark day. Most likely the darkest day in her life.

Black Widow looked at two ponies, who seemed to be talking; what seemed to be a pair of bat-ponies. She looked at them, wondering what if their escape was any different from hers. Did they have to watch as their former friends were torn to shreds? Did they have to run for their lives the instant the wall was breached, or were they lucky enough to be close to the gate when the breach happened? She slowly approached them, trying to hold back tears. Doing so, however, made her voice shaky and uneven.

 

"A-are you two o-okay?" She asked slowly, trying to wipe blood from her coat.

Tinker groaned as he was removed from Strike's back and heaved onto the back of another large white earth pony. He was quickly carried into a white medical tent and placed on a bed. The pony that brought him in called out to one of the nurses, asking for dressings and antibiotics. Tinker did not look down at what they were doing, but he could feel a hoof pressing hard against his stomach and a nip of pain traveled through his body. He squirmed a bit on the table to the apparent displeasure of the pony pushing against his wound, trying his best to escape it but doing no good. A nurse trotted up with a large roll of gauze, cloth, and bandages in her mouth. She sat the things down by the bed and replaced the stallion's hooves with her own.

 

The stallion took hold of the cloth and gave Tinker a purposefully light explanation of what was about to take place. "You're going to feel something moving inside. Don't squirm, you'll make it worse. I'm going to clean it," he said as the cloth was dipped into water and inserted slightly into the wound. The stallion dabbed it around, cleaning as best as he could for what felt like forever on one hole before cleaning the next closest one and both exit wounds. Tinker groaned and tried to push away from the pain, but the nurse mare pushed harder against him and gave him a glare. Tossing the soiled cloth onto a pile of similarly soiled cloths, the stallion folded the gauze and placed it on both sides of the wounds. He attached it snugly with the bandages and stepped back to admire his work.

 

"It's only temporary, we'll take it off shortly after it's had some time to drain. You'll likely smell it and feel it running, but that's nothing to be concerned about. It was a fairly straight shot but it'll take quite a while to heal. We're out of anesthetics, so you'll have to make do or we'll have to do it the old fashioned way, but we'll probably need the alcohol for disinfecting later. Up to you, if you feel like you need it." The stallion wiped his forehead with his leg and turned to the entrance of the tent as a couple of rather bloody and battered ponies were ushered in. "I'll be back in a little bit to check on you. Call one of the nurses if you need anything, but I think most of the bleeding has stopped or slowed down, at least."

 

Tinker watched the stallion walk away. He nodded a small 'thank you' to his back and laid his head down on the stuffy pillow. Every breath was like a hundred needles pricking at his belly and back, and a slow ooze ran through the wounds. He put his hooves on his stomach, hoping that their presence would at least alleviate some of the pain. He kept telling himself that he could tough it out, but it was starting to go from a dull annoyance to a more piercing and urgent pain. Tinker tried to escape it, but there was no escape. It followed him when he tried to re-position himself on the bed and when he tried to put more pressure on the wound himself. Gritting his teeth seemed to distract him for a bit, but he kept getting more and more tensed up as the minutes ticked by.

Depressed and forgotten, Fleetfire sat along the quayside under the shadow of the warehouses, listening to the carnage as it grew around her. She stared at her bloodied hooves, half wondering if the blood was her own and half screaming in internal agony about the abrupt loss of her family. She placed a hoof over her chest and felt the swift beat of her pained heart. Her eyes became drawn to the slow waters before them, wondering if she could just cast herself into the flow and be carried from all this. A voice came from behind, "a-are you two o-okay?"
Fleetfire, glancing at the bat-pony sat alongside her, realized it was not him who spoke. She looked behind them, and than saw who had spoken.

"Yes," Fleetfire replied slowly, looking at the ground once more. "We're alive, aren't we? So, I guess that counts."
She scratched the dirt between the cobbles with one hoof, realizing inwardly that she herself had previously asked the bat-pony the same question. "We're good," she said, trying her best to smile at the Unicorn, "thank-you."

Black Widow looked at two ponies, who seemed to be talking; what seemed to be a pair of bat-ponies.

((Sorry))

 

Black Widow had sighed. She had wondered why she had even begun talking to these ponies if she felt like she was about to cry. Who would want that as their first impression? How could she dare show weakness in a time like this? Letting herself cry after just starting a conversation with these two seemed like a stupid decision, so after choking back tears, she spoke up again.

 

"Anything you need?" She said, a little bit quieter than the first time she raised her voice.

"Well, she'll be unconscious for a bit longer... I guess I better do the right thing..." She heaved he pony onto her. Her hoof hurting even more, she slowly walked to the edge of the alleyway. She checked the coast. Most of the titans were near the hole, smashing buildings. If they were lucky, they'd be unnoticed. She crept out, trying to put little pressure on her hoof. She walked up the road, keeping to the shadows. As a Titan came by, she'd hide in an alleyway or behind rubble. She walked fowards, no Titans were to be seen now. She could see a tiny bit of the docks. She walked towards it. She was nearly there. Just a little closer... She thought. Her hoof was in much pain now, but she carried on.

They were so near now, she felt so happy. She started running. Her happiness overcoming the pain form her hoof, she kept on running. As she got even closer she stopped. She looked behind her. The Titans were now close too, she shivered slightly. She then carried on running. Once they arrived, she heaved the body off of her back and sat down. She was so tired after that. Thought, truthfully, it was quite a thrill to run like that. She wasn't sure she had ran that fast ever before. She checked her wings, making sure they were ok. One was slightly painful to flap. She had probably broken that too. She hoped her family was safe. She walked a bit, before collapsing. Her hoof had finally given in. She watched the unconscious pony, and waited for her to wake up.

Strike sat there on the wet ground waitibg for the ferry still. Whem he was approached by a unicorn. She asked if they were ok, it was the second pony to ask him that. A very stupid question considering what just happened, but it was a way of starting conversation. Soon afterwards she asked another question. Strike still looking forward only said. "Unless you have a rebuild city spell, you have nothing I need" With that he got up ready to make way to the medical tent.

Fleetfire watched from the dockside as the grim bat-pony stood and turned to face the medical tents, from which came the disembodied screams of many injured ponies. Multitudes more were dead, so survival was the torture of feeling death's scythe shave the hair from one's neck, and knowing that the curse is having lived so long and not done anything to fight back. Even as these messages resounded in Fleetfire's head, she knew what she had to do. Returning her gaze to the bat-pony, Fleetfire called for him to wait. She then turned to the Unicorn, whose eyes had become filled with liquid sorrow, and beckoned for her to come closer. Fleetfire regarded the two ponies stood before her. "What are your names?"

Black Widow's depressed face turned into a frown. Her first instinct would've been to grab the nearest rock and bash that flankhole's face in, but considering the death and tragedy that had already occurred, she decided it was best to keep her anger to herself, and instead tightened her hoof in frustration. 

 

Black Widow looked up at Fleetfire, barely holding back sobs.

 

"Black... Widow... what about you, s-stranger?" She said quietly, looking away.

Strike stopped as the pegasus called him. He simply answered 'You may call me Strike Hawke" He continued his walk to the medical tent. Upon entering he could hear the screams of agony of the ponies there. It wasn't a pretty sign, and at this point Strike started questioning whether death would have been better than this. Strike looked through the rolls of beds looking for the specific pony that he saved. He had no real reason, but he wanted to see if the poor bastard pulled it off. Finally reaching the pony he stood there for a minute looking at him. "Are you dead yet?" Strike questioned, not that he was hoping for an answer, this one was probably as good as dead.
