- Mr. Friendly in Equestria – Chapter 3.
- By Wuten and Chronicler.
- >You are Anonymous.
- >And once again, you managed to get away from… IT…
- >This time, you decided to head east, to the port town of Fillydelphia.
- >You felt that if you couldn’t make it as a bartender, maybe you’d make it as a dock worker?
- >You spent your days carrying boxes of various supplies from the countries across the seas into supply depots, where they were processed and shipped to markets across Equestria.
- >You’ve made quite a living here.
- >One day, you’re carrying a larger load than usual; it’s from the zebra countries.
- >Probably some kind of herbal ingredients… you never really cared, as long as the pay was good.
- >”Anonymous, we’re gonna head on ova’ ta Mack’s house afta’ we get dis one put up, wanna head on ova’ wit’ us?” one of your co-workers asks as you walk out of the storage building.
- >He wasn’t always sharp in the wits, but he could carry almost anything you needed help with.
- “Nah, I’ve got plans tonight already, thanks though!”
- >You turn to look at the stock inside the building.
- >”Awh, c’mon man, we need ya!” he exclaims, stamping his hooves on the ground.
- >Your eyes immediately shrink to the size of pinpricks; it’s a good thing he didn’t see your face, otherwise you might have freaked him out a bit.
- “Eh, sorry dude, got a girl waiting for me tonight, I can’t screw this one up.”
- >It was a lie, and you felt a little bad, but you didn’t particularly enjoy hanging around them that much; they would always end up getting hammered, then that would bring up old memories of Appleloosa, and eventually it would all just spiral out of control in your head…
- >Still, he bought it. “Ahaha! Alright, I’ll let’cha off tha’ hook this one time, but you should really c’mon over if ya get the chance.”
- >You smile and nod.
- “Sure. Will do.”
- >He smiles and you wait until he walks off around the corner before wiping your forehead and letting out a sigh of relief. Too close…
- >Home at long last.
- >You step up to your apartment door, twelve locks running up the side, top, and bottom of the frame.
- >Most, you unlock.
- >A few you leave unlocked, as they are trap locks, meant to lock the moment anything tries to open them.
- >You don't bother unlocking your door knob though.
- >You never lock the door knob.
- >That'd just be weird.
- >You enter your apartment, and close the door behind you.
- >Locking it back, you hang your coat up and make your way up the stairs into your second-level apartment.
- >It's not the most spacious, and rather Spartan, but it gets by.
- >Most of your funds for this new home went into a soft bed, a buffer for rent, and that bitchin' PacMare machine.
- >Cost a lot more than you would have liked, but it was good for when you had no more books to read and didn't have anything else to do.
- >The porn here was no good anyways...
- >Crotch boobs still freaked you out.
- >Heading to your fridge, you grab a brew and crack the cap on the corner.
- >It wasn't as good as some of that German stuff you had back home, but it was certainly better than god-damn Old Millwaukee.
- >And just as cheap!
- >You set your bottle down on a coffee table and go behind the PacMare machine
- >Flipping the switch, it powers on with a few boops.
- >This shit is on like Donkey Kong.
- >As the familiar "Wop wop wop" begins, you hear something behind you.
- >You cast a quick glance back, and see nothing.
- >You return to your game.
- >There it is again!
- >You look back for a few moments longer, only returning to the machine when you hear the sequence announcing you died.
- "Ah Cheese!"
- >Growling in annoyance, you get your game face on.
- >"Wop wop need wop wop wop me wop-"
- >Wait.
- >You slowly rise, afraid to look behind you.
- >Slowly, you turn around.
- >Something is in the shadows of your kitchen.
- "H... Hello?"
- >You begin to move towards the window.
- >"You..."
- >No…
- >"Neeeeeed"
- >No!
- >"Me!"
- >Abandon Home!
- >You spin, and dive the fuck out your window.
- >Landing in a pool of water on the hard road, you groan in pain.
- >No time now, gotta go fast.
- >You move your ass because hell is on your heels!
- >Don’t look back, Anon.
- >Don’t.
- >Look.
- >Back.
- >”You neeeeed me!” you hear the synchronous voice once again as you haul ass down the road.
- >DON’T YOU DO IT, ANON. DON’T YOU FUCKING LOOK BACK.
- >You turn your head quickly to glance at it as you run.
- >Damn it, Anon. You shouldn’t have done that.
- >It’s heads were hovering about, over its flappy, sausage-shaped body as it waddled behind you, all of the heads’ empty stares on you.
- >SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT RUN ANON, RUN!!
- >You turn around, to see something in your path.
- >A small, light brown filly with bright green eyes and a red bandana around her neck was walking across the street, when her gaze fixed onto you.
- >…And that THING waddling behind you.
- >Her expression was only that of sheer terror.
- >…
- >You pick up the filly, and immediately begin sprinting again, the damn thing starting to catch up to you due to the extra weight in your arms…
- >…
- >FODDER FOR THE GOOD OF HUMANKIND
- >You toss the filly up into the air, and sprint off, leaving the filly to deal with that… creature.
- >”This way, Gor-“ you hear, before it cuts off.
- >You turn your head as you run, and just as you do you see the strangest thing you’ve ever seen since arriving in Equestria.
- >That filly…
- >…Was that saliva you saw flying through the air?
- >…
- >That filly just spit into its mouth.
- >You watch as it twitches a few times, before it explodes outward, the entire street engulfed in dark green smoke and flames.
- >You slow to a halt, and turn, peering into the smoke.
- "Whew, I lost it."
- >You sigh heavily, panting as you lean on your knees for support as you catch your breath.
- >"YOU..."
- >No…
- >"NEEEEEEEED..."
- >No no no no no no no no…
- >You watch in horror as forty heads arch high into the air, all looking down at you.
- >"ME!"
- >Oh, why, why you?
- >This thing was taking the piss.
- >Well, you knew better than to throw fillies at evil demon-beasts.
- >Yep.
- >Never going to do that again.
- >Oh, wait, weren't you supposed to be running?
- >Right, running.
- >You haul ass as hard as you can away from this creature.
- >It effortlessly picks its way through the streets of Fillydelphia, pursuing you, that omnipresent drone always above and behind you.
- >Ponies are running from their homes, screaming in the middle of the night and raising a general panic.
- >Wonderbolts’ strafing runs cause it to rear back, screaming out "NEEEED" in indignation at the gnats.
- >You run for what safety you can, fleeing as fast as your legs can take you.
- >Admittedly, after all of this running, you were getting pretty fast, but those damn ponies just galloped right past you.
- >This thing was right behind you; you needed to equalize this somehow.
- >As you round a corner, the massive thing stomping its way towards you, you get an idea.
- >It's as good as any right about now...
- >You put everything you have into this final stretch, and dive like Michael Phelps into the sea.
- >You swim hard, and you don't look back.
- >You just needed to get away, before this thing caught you.
- >Finally, the sun is rising.
- >Had you been running that long?
- >Exhausted, you spin around and look back to the coast.
- >You had swam a good ways, Fillydelphia is a blot in the distance compared to the towering cityscape you normally saw.
- >Catching your breath, you begin to head back, before you notice something.
- >Bubbles begin to break on the surface, slowly at first, but picking up frequency.
- >As you look down into the brine, you recognize a sound, one that, while distorted, you can make out with each burst of a bubble.
- >"This way, Gordon…" it says, as a massive head rises from the dark abyss beneath you.
- >End Chapter 3
