Chapter 8: The True Quest Begins

A young stallion, around his early teens ran for his life as he was chased by a group of pissed off ghouls who were chasing him with an array of bladed weapons. The pony cursed himself for bringing this upon himself for killing one of the ghouls who challenged him with his chainsaw staff.

He had entered their territory and was almost immediately challenged by a ghoul pony dressed in old Equestrian Army combat armour. The fight didn't last long as he used his chainsaw staff, a double ended staff with a chainsaw on each end, to first cut away the sword the living dead pony wielded and then plunged one of the two chainsaws into the ghoul. The saw struggled through the armour and once it was lodged into the ghoul's chest the motor died leaving it stuck in the now dead ghoul. The other ghouls brought out their own swords and started to run at the young buck who had no choice but to abandon his chainsaw staff and leg it.

The young earth pony's purple coat was dirty from the dust, his long black mane and tail was messy from his journeys and his two crossed chainsaws cutiemark was covered by his saddlebags.

"Get back here runt" Screamed a raspy voice from one of the ghouls chasing him.

He bucked his saddlebags off to loose some weight so he could run faster. He was running as fast as he could until he noticed that the ground ahead seemed to suddenly end.

"OH SHIT!" He screamed as he slammed on the breaks, skidding on all four of his hooves until he came to a stop just a hoof away from the edge of a cliff with a sheer drop to the rocky ground below.

He had no choice; he would have to face the four remaining ghouls. He turned around and walked forward to face the ghouls. The four zombie like ponies stopped and drew their weapons as they noticed the purple pony moving towards them. The young pony assumed a combat stance as he stopped in front of them.

"You got guts after all kid" The one directly in front of him said in the same raspy voice.

The other ghouls moved to surround the purple pony, giving him no chance of escape. The ground below the earth pony sagged slightly and the four ghouls backed up slightly as they noticed it. The young stallion looked down as a faint sound of snapping metal was heard through the dirt floor.

"Did you hear that?" Asked a ghoul who looked towards one of his comrades.

The young pony looked up and then with a yelp he disappeared into a black hole as the ground below him gave way, leaving a clean square hole where he once stood. The four ghouls approached the hole cautiously and peered down into the black void of nothingness.

"Heh, that little brat fell to his death"

"Serves the little whelp right"

"C'mon, we got better things to do than waste our time out here" And with that the ghouls left to return to their home territory.

The young stallion didn't scream as he fell into the dark of the void surrounding him. He closed his eyes as if accepting death and waited to hit the ground. Instead he felt himself land into a tangle of vine things that stopped his fall. Some of the vine things stretched and snapped as they stopped him but when he did stop he was tangled up in them, leaving him suspended in the air above goddesses knows what. He opened his eyes to look around; all he could see were blackness and only a few of the vine things holding his body. With what little light he had from the small hole above him he took a closer look at these 'vines' and found out that they were actually steel cables and electrical wiring. He raised a brow at the unexpected turn his fall had landed him in. "Electrical cables?"
