Two other foxes had clambered out of the box car behind the two stallions by the time the ponies had fallen down into the body of the train beyond view. "What the crap is going on?! We thought you had this handled!"
"And I almost d-did!" The one fox ahead of them rearranged his eyepatch and started scampering towards the train car with a hole in its top. "The frickin' hoofers knocked me around like a ragdoll and then plunged into the next compartment!"
"Jeez!" One of the two foxes grunted as he ran alongside his partner. "You let them inside with the merchandise?! You idiot!" He panted into the wind above the train. "What if they—?!"
"Oh please..." The three creatures stood on the edge of the neighboring car, glaring into the hole with their weapons drawn. "As if these grass-eating yuckjobs have the brightest idea how to pilot them—"
The car in front of them exploded. The whole train wobbled on its tracks. All three foxes fell on their orange tails under a spray of wooden shingles as a shiny metal vehicle throttled up into the air, hovering on bright blue mana thrusters.
"Hah!" Josho snarled, his hairy muzzle grinning from ear to ear as he tightened his hooved grip of the sleek managlider's controls. "If the Spark wanted foxes to fly, it would have given birth to them with bottlerockets shoved up their butts!"
"H-hey!" Eagle Eye flailed, dangling off the side along the length of his magical binding. "I'm coming loose!"
"Tell me something I haven't figured out on my own."
"The merchandise!" the fox with the eyepatch sputtered to say.
"See ya later, sh—Gaaah!" Josho howled as he incidentally fired the thrusters too hard. He spun around, barely avoiding the mountain's edge by a hair, and pulled up in time to soar over its jagged peaks. "Right. Let's just make more distance and less quips."
In a burst of thunderous energy, Josho rocketed himself and Eagle Eye northwest over the rugged landscape.
The foxes snarled and hissed in anger. One of them leapt down into the shattered body of the box car and mounted one of three identical gliders.
"What are you doing?!" another spat.
"What does it look like?!" Lifting on the hovercraft, the pilot frowned at the others. "You think we can afford to let them get away with all that junk?! That's a lot of silver!"
"Youre mom's a lot of silver."
"Dammit! Just fly with me!"
dang... Silver? guess either the other glider is hauling silver or it's mostly made of silver...
Buckle up gentlemen, and please keep your hooves inside the flying deathtrap at all times.
I'm not sure if that typo was intentional or not, but it made me laugh more as a result.
hm...
Shell's after Rainbow, Belle, and Pilate...
Street ponies are after Kera...
Terra is after Roarke...
Two foxes are after Josho and Eagle Eye...
Whew~
Cue the Benny Hill music?
...I don't know why being wrong still surprises me anymore. Although, this does make the prospect of the unlikely duo running into Rainbow more likely.
Incidentally? Or accidentally?
2587051 or you know... WORTH a lot of silver
Danger zone! Danger Zone!
This can only end well.
Hang on - I thought managliders were Ledomartian technology in the first place. How could those foxes think the two of them wouldn't be able to ride one? And how would those be exceedingly rare and valuable trading goods when the Ledomartians use them on a regular basis? And why didn't Josho just shoot those bummers while he had the opportunity? Why are there so many colours? What is it trying to tell me?
Ceterum censeo Searinem delendam esse, of that at least I'm sure.
dafuq?
2590993 I'm assuming that it probably takes special training to fly one, training that most soldiers generally wouldn't have. And as for merchandise cost, in terms of an entire nation's budget those probably cost nothing. But in the terms of a few foxes looking for cash that's probably a lot of money.
Ok, so none of my predictions were correct, however the "merchandise" was still helpfully convenient!
Soooo let's just hope that everything remains convenient for a while.... but I get the feeling that that won't be happening.
Onwards!
2587030 This was great.
Allow me to complete this sentence. Ahem:
There. Doesn't that fit perfectly?

Just Simon.
A message from MASH-
It's rather late tonight...zzz...I'll do an extra one tomorrow...maybe...
IIIIIt's Dashie's evaluation time!
Well I guess it wasn't out of the realm of possibility that the foxes could've gotten some managliders in their travels. Â I'm more concerned with how they managed to get them from the metal mares...Although they probably just swindled them somehow. Â These are my thoughts so far.Â
-MASH
P.S. Â No extra chapter tonight. Â Sorry, but I just watched The Dark Knight and I've got a lot on my mind. Â Anyone who's watched that movie knows exactly what I'm talking about.Â
That'd be a first.
A chase/fight scene isn't a chase/fight scene without a few snazzy one liners thrown in there somewhere, everyone knows that. Seriously, though, everything is going rather better than expected for everyone. Meaning they're managing to escape their captors. How long this elusion lasts remains to be seen. We're checking in with Pilate soon, I'm guessing?
Ah, some nice short chapters again.
2631144 um that would be because I'm pretty sure the managliders are Ledomaritan and not Searonese technology, lol. Keep the evaluations coming, always a good read. My goal is to catch up with you and everyone else before this story finishes.
[Twitching intensifies]
>Youre mom's a lot of silver
Is that a typo?
Never mind.
Anywho, cool, they have transportation to Blue Nova now!
Also, 3/8 done!
-Spirit
man i just can't stop reading this it is to good!
More epic chases. Let's get it!
Cue dramatic chase music!
excellent fast paced chase music!
Let's do this
Oh shit, guess the Xonan's are catching up with technology, huh?
Won't be savages for much longer...
Well that entire sentence made me flinch in grammar-related pain.
I know you are not there Rainbow, but please listen to this just a little.
So I was wrong. Not weapons, but dangerous devices nonetheless. The foxes must've been selling them to the Xonans.
Chasing after one piece of merchandise with another seems like a bad idea though, especially since even if they force josho to land, they won't be able to fly both gliders back.
Nice.
So, this just escalated into a plane fight from a train fight. Car chase next?
You know, if I had a character named after me, it would probably be this fox, because that's the comeback I would make in that situation.
I like these foxes
