Creating A Hive

Dynamite Don't

Yearling quickly shed off her disguise, revealing herself to the not-so-secret watchers in the window that she was Daring Do. She leapt towards the stairs.

I stretched out my wings, hiding my two foals behind me. My horn lit up, lifting up various books to use as weapons. It's why they exist, after all.

The henchponies rushed down the stairs, tumbling down to avoid another thrown knife. Daring Do kicked one in the face. Another was met by Killjoy, who had grabbed her two thrown knives. The third was just getting repeatedly whacked all over by books.

He was quickly knocked to the ground. His sunglasses falling off, chipped. I kept pelting him with the books. As I did so I caught sight of his cutiemark. A quick glance at the other two shined a light on a pretty dark joke from the writers of MLP.

"Killjoy?" I called out.

Killjoy whacked the henchpony with the pommel of her knife. He bonked his head on the wall, flopping to the ground. "Yeah?"

"Look at their cutiemarks." I informed her. Killjoy did so, then laughed.

You see, each of the cutiemarks for the goons were the comic book action bubbles. Where you would see things like: ?!, kick, punch, ow, attack, etc. How crummy life must be, for you to get your cutiemark only to find out you'll be the Equestrian version of a henchpony.

But it was also really funny.

"Dude that's cruelty."

"I know!"

Daring Do was still fighting the third henchpony. "I don't need your help!" She called out to us. Incredible she was able to do that with the golden ring in her mouth.

"Duh." Killjoy snorted. She kicked the second henchpony in the gut. He huffed out a pained groan. "This is how I spend my Tuesday nights."

"You spend your Tuesday nights beating up- oh wait I forgot you got your old job back."

"Yeah! That place is great." Killjoy grinned, actually fond of something not related to murder for once.

I whacked the first henchpony in the face with a book again. He had tried to stand back up.

The henchpony actually gained an advantage, pulling the ring out of Daring Do's mouth. Only problem was that it landed in the fireplace. Wait...had that been lit this whole time? I should've checked. Then again, Lilac might've sneezed during the fight and lit it unintentionally. So that's probably it.

Speaking of the dragon, she rushed towards the flames. She pulled out the golden ring- which was barely affected by the fire. "Got it!" She cheered to myself and her aunt.

The henchpony growled, rushing after her.

Killjoy and myself both attacked at him. Killjoy, jumping on his back to hold a knife on his throat. Myself, by grabbing his hooves with my magic.

"Wow!" Dynamite gawked. "You guys are awesome!"

Daring Do used a whip to grab the ring from Lilac. She tossed it over to a pitcher of juice, which toppled over onto the ring. It cooled it down.

"KJ-"

"On it!" Killjoy turned herself onto the henchpony's side. With a flash of my magic the henchpony was pushed into the wall. Killjoy kicked herself off at the last second. The third henchpony hit the wall so hard paint chipped off.

Daring Do went for the ring again. The second henchpony stood up. Lilac yelped, but stood her ground. I used my magic to put her beside Dynamite. The second henchpony rushed at the ring.
