You don't quite realize just how much of it is in a pony's head until it explodes in front of your eyeballs. A red hail of brains, bits of bone, and black vampony blood peppered the little stallion's face and forelegs. And then it just stopped. The body of the older pegasus stallion fell onto him as so much dead weight, and finally lay still.
He lifted a foreleg, not to push it off, but to get a better look at the impossible reality in front of him. His hoof slowly, trembling, etched a path through the blood, poking at a bit of brain, convincing himself this was all really happening, and not just some sick dream. Somepony floated a long, thick wooden stake into view; it took him a moment to realize that was his magic. It hovered closer, until it was resting on his forehooves. He stared dumbly at the blood-splattered tool, dots slowly connecting in his raging mind. "I...I had more stakes," he said, quietly and with an eerie calm in his voice. "I didn't...didn't need help. He didn't do anythin' wrong, he didn't....didn't have...didn't have to....to..." Daniel's weak mental reinforcements snapped like a twig. His whole body started to tremble as silent tears poured down his face. He made no move to get up, nor tried to move the body; he simply laid back and wept bitterly, holding onto the body of the dead townspony.
(tldr: Sandy is lying under the body of the dead vampony, making no effort to pick himself up. He's in bad shape, mentally/emotionally.)
Silverpine lowered his still-smoking shotgun, relieved that his aim was true. He had been cutting it close there, chancing a shot so close to his friend. An inch to the righ and his friend would blown right off with the vampony.
"Sandy!" he cried out, breaking into a canter towards his fallen friend. A quick glance about showed that the other two enemy was being safely handled by the others. Chancing that no enemy would come by at least for a few moments, he slung his shotgun over his back and began pushing the dead vampony pegasus off Sandy.
"C'mon, Sandy. We have to move. Get up," Silverpine urged, not paying heed to Sandy's odd inflection and behaviour. Nor did he pay any attention to the stake that Sandy grasped in his forehooves and within easy reach of his neck.

Vamponies of the Noche
Miss M was wrestling with the vampony pegasus Rainbow had been dealing with, again, she was trying to be non lethal, but its so hard making sure your blows to the head don't accidentally make the heads go too. "Somepony! Slide me over a stake!"
The little buck proved to be strong, vampony strength and all and began to pull Daniel up with him, at least until Daniel staked his little flank and nerfed him. He looked to be in pain trying to shake the stake out. He faltered along with apparently acquiring some hoof shaped bruises from a certain rogue, those didn't go away and were wearing him down.
Zephyr and Gearstride stood with wide eyes at the sight of the dead vampony. Unlike the other ones that died and sorta just disappeared away, messily, but at least their bodies weren't there, this vampony was there and dead, and headless. Gearstride began to waver and fell onto her haunches as the weight of what was happening crashed down on her.
"I'm so sorry....that...was...that was my fault...if I wasn't so stupid and helped Sandy the right way...that pony would not have had to die at all...!" Zephyr immediately sprang to help Silverpine remove the headless vampony. Red tears coming down his eyes mixing in with the blood and juices from the vampony when it....yea.......on him too.

Daniel
"Ehh, buck this verily." Daniel puts in a good couple of extra stabs on his rodeo buddy, then pushes off, using the stake that's still in as a place to grip, simultaneously spinning to gain momentum and twisting the 'knife' for pain points. When he comes around again, he slams downward as hard as he can and resumes stabbing with the other stake to whittle him down.

The world around Sandy dissolved into a dull, roaring blur. He was running on autopilot, gripping the corpse tightly and heaving silent sobs that turned his cheeks into bloody slurry. All that existed was him, and the headless vampony in his legs. Not that he cared; his mind was in the past, re-living the moment. If he had staked it in the mouth. If he had staked it in the forelegs. If he had dodged instead of trying to push it back. If he had kicked its hind knees out. If he had blasted it with sand. If he had done something. And yet, with every 'what-if' he asked, nothing changed. The shot rang out, the bullets flew, the head erupted into mush, an innocent life was snuffed out.
Something stirred his attention back to the real world; the body between his legs was moving. The stallion stubbornly tightened his grip, only for the corpse to be shoved away by a powerful force. A wailing cry ripped from his throat as he rolled over in the dirt, feebly reaching for the headless vampony. "NO! I could save him! I could save him!" he shouted wildly. In his mad rush to somehow grab hold of the dead pony, he didn't notice the stake still clenched firmly in his forehoof. Again and again it stabbed into the dirt, pulling him ever closer to his headless prize.
(tldr: Sandy didn't let go of the corpse until Zephyr and Silverpine shoved it away. He is trying to crawl his way to the body, ignoring his two friends and the stake still clenched in his hoof.)

Rainbow shook her head a she got up. She turned to Miss M. "Vamp lady. The bolt in his stomach has a wood shaft! Break in and stab him!"
Then she hears Sandy. Then forces her to clumsily gallop to him. Her mouth clamps on the blue pony's tail. She was an anchor. "Stmop. Stmop Smandy. We need toget the leader now to save the rest."

Vampony Showdown
With the vampony being able to stay hurt, Staccata doesn't let up. There aren't so many targets anymore, so she's able to not divide her attention. The rogue goes in for a couple more hoof punches and perhaps an uppercut just because that's how you always finish them.

From the vampony crypt with love
Daniel's and Staccata's tussle with the young buck soon comes to an end as the little guy's body just can't handle the poison, Daniel's twisting assault with the stakey poison and Staccata's physical assaults that added to it. He just fell to the ground writhing.
And so Miss M did, stabbity stabbed that vampony multiple times with the wooden shaft until embedding it in the throat and punching the vampony to give them a concussion afterward.

Sharp, painful tugging kept Sandy from going any further. Not that the pain amounted to much; his senses were dulled by despair. Before he had a chance to break free, he found himself bodily picked up and shaken, throwing his world into even further disarray. The stallion nickered in frustration and flailed his forelegs wildly, stake still in hoof. It was Silverpine's good fortune that his friend was so short; with Sandy's short legs, the worst he could do was give him the odd gash on his leg. A good stabbing, when not using a thin, sharp knife, was rather difficult when you were completely senseless.
From the discordant noise around him, two voices synchronized and burst through. Something about...a leader. What leader? The leader of the enemy. The one who was responsible for all this. But how could he be to blame, when the culprit was right here? As soon as the thought crossed his addled mind, the wind left his sails entirely. The little stallion slumped over in Silverpine's grip, not even bothering to look his friend in the eye. How could he? "He...he's dead...an' all 'cause...'cause I'm no good...rotten...awful...cursed...c-c-cursed..." he sobbed. The black blood and brains dripped from his face onto Silverpine's hooves.

Daniel
He takes a moment to roll off the writhing vampire and catch his breath. Then casually bops the thing on the head. That'll teach it.
Then he hears the marching. A supporter's work is never done.
He picks his way through the battlefield at a trot and gets his bow back, digging through his pack for six more arrows, three of which he immediately nocks. These ones look strange, though. There's a symbol almost like a flame on- oh.
"Still at the top of my game, cap. Orders, or you wanna hear my tactical assessment?"

Vampony Showdown
"If you're that worried, I have a sneaking suspicion that whatever is making that noise isn't going to take the time to scold you," Staccata says while turning towards the source of the noise. Of course, she's got her dagger out and likely to not give a flying feather if there's the same amount of vamponies as last time.

He decided to try a different tack. His voice grew stern, formal. "Sergeant Shores. Get a grip. You are not to be blamed for these. The one... the leader is responsible for this. Not you. Never you."

"Very well Daniel just---" Whizz! Gearstride froze as a bullet flew past her cheek, grazing it leaving a hot pinkness behind. "Shhhi---" No sooner had the sound came out another one flew hitting an inch before her feet. She got the message and dove for cover behind a half broken stone pillar that was mostly covered in darkness, this area at least.
Bang bang bang bang March. Stop. Bang bang bang bang bang!
Bullets wildly from the direction they had traveled from, folks better find some cover, or not, its cool too to take one between the eyes. Kinda like what happened to Zephyr as he keeled over. "ahhh...nnnnggggh....gack..."

"Bloody hell. Take cover!" Silverpine shouted, diving onto both Rainbow and Sandy, pushing them to the floor. At least they were presenting a lower profile to the shooter that way. "Move! Go!" he hissed, pushing the two forward.
Just a little way ahead, another series of intact pillars. Just enough to provide cover for the three of them. If only they could make it through all the fifteen feet of open space that lay in between. Perhaps the darkness would help.

Not his fault? It was some small comfort that they didn't accuse him, but he could heap on enough blame on himself for ten ponies. He could see all the ways he could've handled that differently, they couldn't. They didn't know, couldn't know. They weren't there. They didn't have an innocent pony's blood on their hooves. If they wanted to avenge that pony's death, then all they had to do was drive a stake through his own heart and be done with it.
Their stern words brought a distant thought to light; the mission. Yes...yes that was right, they were on a mission. They had to stop the vamponies from attacking the town and hauling off more ponies to be turned. The last vestiges of his sanity clung to that little bit of reality for dear life. Maybe if he just kept walking he would somehow stop seeing that vampony's face in his mind, mangled and twisted with buckshot. Maybe the emptiness in his chest would go away too. But even as he reached out for hope, in the back of his mind, he knew it was only wishful thinking. Who was he to think he could escape his punishment?
As Rainbow sat the stallion up, he wavered, but remained upright. Slowly, he got to his hooves, all the while not taking his eyes off the ground. His motions were lifeless, forced.

And then he got tackled. Really, it was like pushing over a burnt-out house; he offered no resistance and crumbled on contact. Once on the floor, the dead-eyed stallion slowly started crawling, acting entirely on training and instinct. He had his orders, all he had to do was keep following them.

"Honor can be stretched as a definition in this case. Most of it is up to the individual, though some things such as 'do not act like a complete psychopath' remain the same.
Also, you may notice I said 'legitimate' authority. A paladin still has freedom of choice when it comes to orders. If somepony in a position of authority gives you an order that you would do because it is right anyway, then following it does no harm. In fact, playing a small game of nobility helps in certain cases. For example if a noble thinks you are acting purely because they said so, they will think of you as an agent and PR campaign poster colt.
This can provide you with a reputation and resources, though I advise caution on this front. Ponies in power can be more devious than the worst devils.
You can of course feel free to simply ignore tyrants and the like. Or bring them down. Whichever."

Bang bang bang bang
Looking at the direction where the shots were being shot from, one could see a group of ponies in police uniforms marching in, reloading and shooting. In the back, a rather large mustached pony was wielding a M70 grenade launcher, strapped to his side, reminiscent to battle saddles from a certain ya know what....why I don't even...oi vey...

A grenade sailed towards the center as the whole chamber shook as large slabs of stone from the ceiling fell towards our heroes.

"You can sit down a bit ya know?" Idle offered the idea as he watched her a bit.
"Buck." That was the only word that could truly describe Silverpine's feeling at the moment. Aside from the obviously out-of-place police ponies suddenly firing on them for no reason, they were now in danger of being crushed by rubble and fragged by random grenades. "Damnit, Sandy," he muttered as he sprinted the last few feet to get behind the relative safety of a pillar. Seeing Sandy still crawling slowly towards them, he stuck his body out and quickly dragged him along, probably exposing himself towards gunfire again in the process.

Bullets whizzed, rocks fell, Sandy paid it all no mind. He had his orders; go crawl behind those pillars over there. And he would follow them. Maybe if his luck truly was with him, one of those bullets would sail just a little lower, or maybe one of those rocks would fall in just the right spot, and then everything would be nice and simple again. But alas, that was not his fate today. Despite being out from cover, the stallion didn't even take a grazing shot and hardly a pebble landed on his head.
When Silverpine reached out to grab him, he stumbled the last few feet into cover, potentially aiding his friend's efforts.

Daniel
"Hey fun fact; bulletproof doesn't mean arrowproof. Or fire-retardant. I could use some flashy cover fire!"
He loads two arrows and shoots into the group whenever there's a pause in fire. As a bonus, from this position, he can readily get more arrows from his bag if he runs out. It all depends on time...

Vampony/Police Showdown
"That is an incredibly terrible idea," Staccata mentions relatively safe from explosions and gunfire behind... is this a stone coffin? Ugh, if they keep shooting and it degrades it's going to get all creepy.
But to the point, the mare knows that firing is the one way to prevent nice calm talking that you can easily just knock ponies out with a hoof to the back of the head.

This can provide you with a reputation and resources, though I advise caution on this front. Ponies in power can be more devious than the worst devils.
You can of course feel free to simply ignore tyrants and the like. Or bring them down. Whichever."

As soon as Arvadraa finished, a knife went flying right through the field and struck Obsidian Flare in the side.

The unicorn seemed mostly annoyed at her injury. "This time, aim further away from me. I forgot how painful sharp objects can be."

Bang, baby, Bang
Rainbow would find no answer from the captain. Zephyr was trying to pop the bullet out. Miss M was being a bullet sponge for the felled vamponies and trying to get them away to the side. These...officers didn't seem mind some friendly fire on what could be assumed as vampony allies.
Daniel got his wish of flashy cover fire in the form of a grenade headed his way, at him, from where Gearstride was supposedly at. He could try hitting it and having it explode in his face, stand still and have it explode in his face, or get out of the way and have it explode where his face was at.

Silverpine winced as a bullet whizzed past his right ear, close enough that he could feel the slight rush of air that accompanied it, along with the whizzing sound. "Stay here, Sandy," he said, pulling the engineer close to make sure he didn't accidentally slip out into the open.
One shell left in his shotgun. He'd have to make it count. Silverpine chanced a peek around the pillar, and if he spotted any policepony out in the open, he would open fire, aiming for the legs. Can't shoot with buckshots in your knee.

Sandy plopped his haunches down obediently, rocking back and forth as he sat. This sitting still, it was maddening. Nothing to do, nothing to keep himself busy, nothing between him and...and that face in his head. Rending, tearing, exploding, bleeding, dying, so much blood, all over his face, all over his legs, bits of brain, "...urrrk." The engineer winced and held his stomach, tasting bile again. He tried to just focus on the sounds around him, the bullets whizzing, the rocks falling, a constant stream of distractions to throw in the way of his memory.

Adrenaline rush. Slow-mo. Split-second. All the time in the world. A smirk. Two legs, braced against a wall. One grenade, sailing slowly toward oblivion. One direction, wherever the truth was at. Push. Twist. Fire. Roll. Aim. Whatever's there...whenever for how.
(Translation: Daniel pushes off the wall for a jump over the grenade, twisting in midair to fire a flamer into the hostile group, then rolls to a standing position right next to Gearstride's cover, the other nocked arrow ready to give a new face to anything bad that's in there.)

Vampolicepony Showdown
Counting on the guns and explosions dampening voices a bit from the new attackers, Staccata decides to try and have a conversation with the nice ponies the next piece of cover over.
"You know if we all stopped jumping around they'd stop shooting and go in to investigate. We jump on them then, they can't use firearms or explosives without killing each other. Hell, knock a few out and they might even be chatty." That last part was just dripping with her usual sarcasm.

"Officer, right straight ahead, a flying flamer," Barked a glossy eyed police pony in a bullet/bolt/kind arrow prood vest. "The rest of you, stand down, save your ammo."
"Yes, sir," Complied a glossy eyed unicorn officer as he grabbed the flaming arrow with telekinisis and snapped in half, snuffed it out, and tossed it to the side. The other glossy eyed officers held back, reloading, including the big guy in his protective uniform who began to reload his M70 grenade launcher with the help of another pony. Five were in protective vests, the rest in regular blue uniform with M19MLPs .45 guns. Their utility belts also holding taser guns, batons, hoof cuffs, walkie talkies, extra ammo packs, and flashlights.
"Those were warning shots, now you criminals, turn yourselves in or we will shoot to kill," The officer who we'll just say is the police captain. Though of course....there was Zephyr, who got shot in the head even if he's fine and alive, and then there was the grenade launched by their guy. They may not actually be hearing what they're saying.

"What the hay is going on?" Silverpine said, belatedly realising he was about to fire on The Law. The Cirrus may be on the somewhat morally grey end of the spectrum, but they always respected The Law. Here's The Law saying they were criminals.
Buck that.

Re: [FwM] Bridle Shores 90210-Mlp without the Kiddy Thread XIII
[Sandy - Not even bullets for company]
Now the shooting had stopped. In his state, Sandy had only a dim grasp of the situation; things were shooting at them, and they were trying not to get shot. Anything beyond that just melted into the headless form of the dead townspony. And now he didn't even have the situation to distract himself with. The silence following their temporary cease-fire sought to drive him mad. The little stallion started twitching nervously, darting to look where the bullets were coming from, then glancing up at his friend, and then down to fidget with hooves, only to repeat it all again. Orders, retreat, fight, death, just give him something to make the silence go away.

Staccata just rolls her eyes at the whole 'stand down last worning blah blah I'm a jerk' spiel. If she had a bit for every time that happened... Anyway, it just seems that Silverpine is throwing ideas at the wall.

If Daniel's continues to CAREFULLY follow dust print markings it would lead him away from the group and into the recesses deeper into the crypt and nothing more as far as he could tell.
Unfortunately the flu flu bolt misses its intended target as another officer jumps in the way to protect his fellow glamoured comrade and their grenade launcher. He gets thoinked in the chest hard and glurks.
"Nnngh...be careful....these...folks....they aren't vamponies, by the look in their eyes...glamoured likely.." Miss M grunted as she stood in front of Rainbow's area, and let herself get pelted by bullets to keep Rainbow safe.

Vampony Clever Thing Following the Word "Vampony"
Staccata gives a little shake of the head towards Gearstride. "You want to flash them, I'll take care of our grenade issue."
If the good captain does so, Staccata will take a rather bold move, going in to buck the armored pony and attempting to thieverize the grenade launcher before moving to a different piece of cover.

"Cease fire, one pony down, maybe this will make the enemy reconsider!" Barked the glamored captain. "Tend to your fellow officer, Officer Bones." He ordered a random officer to tend to the police pony that took the flu flu bolt for Grenade Greg as I'll call the big stallion for now. The rest of the officers reloaded.
"Sir, I count six enemy ponies here, our information said there would be eight---"
"Glamored ponies.......... are just mind ..............controlled ponies, other than that........... their senses...are like yours...you ungrateful b-----" The explicit was cut out as she fell to the ground on her stomach with several bullets in her back, black blood pooling. "Nnng...fuu....ow...."
Staccata would get no response from Gearstride, nor would she see any signs of Gearstride.

Daniel of the Like A Boss-Deeper into the Crypts

Vampolice Showdown
Lovely. Just lovely. Things were suddenly getting obscenely bad around here. Assuming that something terrible didn't just happen to everypony, they are at a loss for action. Time to rely on a cheap parlor trick, but hey, it's cutie-mark related for her.
Using the stone and echos and her already stated ability to throw and mask her voice, Staccata starts faking reinforcements.
"Just eight? Silly silly colt."
From another piece of cover: "Well they are mind-controlled so they aren't exactly big on the upswing."
Staccata is attempting to use the confusion to move into a more advantageous location, to either get a clear shot at the exit or go within striking distance of the big pony and his grenade launcher. If the latter is possible, he's hopefully not agile enough to stop her from lunge taking the thing.
"Maybe we should give you another chance to give up?

...It's been maybe two minutes. HOW. Daniel stops. Oh. Well. There's your problem.
With that thought, he starts running back the way he came, mind racing in an attempt to retrace his steps.

[Sandy - I'm running out of traumatized soliloquies]
Sandy just kept sitting on his haunches, mindlessly scratching in the dirt and grit to keep himself distracted. In fact, seeing how they were at the cave entrance, there was quite a bit of dirt and sand-like materials about. If he were thinking clearly, he might've been able to devise some plan, but alas, he was too deep in his own shock and despair.

Using the stone and echos and her already stated ability to throw and mask her voice, Staccata starts faking reinforcements.
"Just eight? Silly silly colt."
From another piece of cover: "Well they are mind-controlled so they aren't exactly big on the upswing."
Staccata is attempting to use the confusion to move into a more advantageous location, to either get a clear shot at the exit or go within striking distance of the big pony and his grenade launcher. If the latter is possible, he's hopefully not agile enough to stop her from lunge taking the thing.
"Maybe we should give you another chance to give up?
"Oh bloody hell." Silverpine racked his mind to at least try to salvage the situation. Magic he did not have. Non-lethal weapons were not an option for him. But Sergeant Shores did, even if he was a broken shell of his former self. He grabbed Sandy by the shoulder and shook him. "Sandy! We need you to create a sandstorm to blind them." His voice soften a little. "C'mon Sandy. Wake up. We need you."

Sandy kept his head down, shaking like a broken doll. "Sand...storm?" he mumbled, sounding lost. "Sandstorms...that's wind...can't move wind...only sand...shifting sand...falling through...the whole company...manticores..." The stallions eyes grew unfocused, and the cave started to dissolve around him, taking him back to his luckless days in the army. "...rending...tearing...all of them...eating alive...running...behind me...can't escape...cursed...cursed for me..."

In a flash, he was back in the cave. Maybe Silverpine finally broke through, maybe Sandy really was trying to claw his way back in control, or maybe he was just desperate for more distraction, but that single plea pierced the growing darkness in his mind. For once, Sandy lifted his head, looked his friend in the eye, and it seemed like he'd actually understood his voice. "I-I...I'll t-t-try..." he stammered out, weakly nodding.
Not even waiting for Silverpine to put him down, the little unicorn shut his eyes tight and his horn started sparking and fizzling. Every time he reached for the magic, he was greeted by the sight of the headless vampony. And every time, his concentration wavered amid pangs of guilt, before finally disappearing altogether as the spell was lost. But still he tried, again and again. The ground faintly sparkled, as motes of dust and dirt picked themselves up off the ground, only to fall back down after a short flight. Try as he might, he just couldn't hold onto the spell for long enough. "It...it's hard..." he moaned through gritted teeth, horn lighting up for what had to be the seventh time.
(Grif: Seeing how this'll likely end after one more post apiece, got the okay from Benson to keep going before the next DM post)
