**jake7, seeing the thousands of spiders goes completely APE. (She is *terrified* of spiders) and goes running for the water. She stops at the waters edge**

Um. I can't swim. Anyone have a life jacket I can use?

**looks behind her at the approaching hoarde, then back at the water**

Oh screw it!

**she jumps into the water, hoping it's not too deep**

*Seeing all the creepy crawlies*

Holy canard control!... I'm gonna have to start making more sense if I'm to survive this.

*kicks Penitence hard in the flanks*

I'm too old for this sh...*Gets bucked off*

*PR and Oror plunge unfer the surface of the cold water, Ororo's head and front legs emerge, thrashing wildly, PR pops up out of the water, still on Ororo. He gasps for air and shakes himself off.*

Come on, Ororo, swim! Swim for the island!

*Ororo begins to swim, when suddenly, Jake7 plops into the water beside them*

Jake! *She starts to go under, but PR grabs her hand and pulls her on to Ororo behind him...shes rather big for a pifflepony, hopefully she can take them both.*

*They reach the shore*

He is utterly still, seated at the window of the Sereni-Tree’s garden. His eyes, normally brownish in colour, are glazed with red and darting rapidly. Only this optic flickering and the rivulets of perspiration wending laharic paths along his torso belie a comatose state. He is clearly functioning at the extreme maximum of his insect guiding capabilities, sustained only by the white-hot fury burning at his very core. His mind is almost completely devoted to the vast effort required in directing each insect, each arachnid: corporal functions relegated to absolute minimum functionality.

He has given over nearly all semblence of his humanity to the task of eliminating the Sereni-Tree and it’s inhabitants. However, some miniscule portion of his brain understands that the complete eradication of The One Enemy, labelled as TheRealMe, may suffice to appease his wrath. Happenstance would have it that the distinction is irrelavent regarding the ulimate goal. That all the Sereni-Tree crew, the Piffleponies, golems and brides should succumb to the slaughter is merely irrelevant.

He would spare the one known as “Mai”, for she is the co-creator of Molly, but he knows he lacks sufficient energies to manifest such subtle discriminations.

...

His body emits a brief shudder. A setback! Small, yet signifcant. The scaled creature on the island has summoned a fire with which she (it?) enabled the consumption of his fine arachniwarriors! The remainder, programmed to blindly continue their onslaught, are slaughtered by the millions, their silken essences extracted and put to use in the weaving of fine fabrics. A loss, to be sure, 1/6th of the total force rendered useless.

Then. ... And then, gleaned from the tiniest vestige of his concious mind, from below he detects movement. The parrot, presumed dead, appears to bite the hand of the Evil One. A stunning reversal in the current paradigm that, for its shear unexpectedness, freezes all cozensystems!

He collapses, thudding from the chair on to the Serenigarden floor. Small rivulets of blood seep from his mouth and nostrils. He is ashen, white as a vampire, still as a corpse.

The metal roaches seize, by default engaging sleep mode. The billions of tarantulas and black widows halt their advances, then without purpose, scatter in random directions.

Poor Molly!

*Ath, who had stood bravely in front of Lissa's bow, ready to defend it with his life, breathes a sigh of relief as the metal arachnids disperse.*

Hey, Lissa? You can out now.

*Lissa peeks her head out of her box and looks around.*

"Are you sure they're gone?"

"Invader's blood marches through my veins like giant radioactive rubber pants. The pants command me! Do not ignore my veins!"

Jazaf shakes his hair free of a few cozensects.
'Gorramit! Didn't even get a chance to react.'
Jazaf stands and brushes off his clothes as he watches the last of the bugs scamper off into the distance.

* Dashing away after the starting gun, Bride6 urges her pifflepony Prudence up the tall hill, to the very edge of the cliff overlooking the lake, but there she stops short. Already Cozenspiders and Cozenroaches swarm all around. Prudence stomps on them, but there are too many. *

Ewww! Icky!

* Suddenly Jake7, wild with panic, runs past Bride6 and dives down into the lake. *

Let’s go, Prudence!

* Bride6 guides Prudence back from the cliff edge a bit, then charges toward it. Prudence leaps into the air high above the lake. At that moment, Bride6 pulls a cord. Suddenly, a para-glider unfolds from Prudence’s saddlebags. Bride6 grabs the control cables dangling down from above, with which she steers the glider over the lake. *

We will have to thank Jet for rigging that up for us, right Prudence?

* They land on the shore of the island, somewhat ahead of their nearest competition. Nearby, Needleseye is roasting Cozentarantulas on the beach. *

Yuck!

* Bride6 hops off of Prudence, runs off to a meadow, and picks a four-leaf clover. With a smile, she runs back to Prudence, opens her saddlebacks, and lets loose some kissies. *



* As Bride6 jumps back onto Prudence, the kisses start eating all the OTHER four-leaf clovers. *



* From somewhere, Prudence has a fishie in her mouth. *

* TheRealMe, his back to the Infirmary’s wall, squeezes the last sprut of Knibblet’s Stupendous Sunscreen and Insect Repellant at the various Cozenbugs surrounding him. His last defense was gone! He tries to shield the injured Molly as the Cozenbugs start climbing up him. He starts to form a new dimesional portal to somewhere… anywhere that offers an escape. *

* And then… It stops. The Cozenbugs stop dead in their tracks, or wander off. *

* TheRealMe slides down the wall and releases a breath. *

Huh! I guess that either Cozen has come to his senses, or passed out.

* TheRealMe slowly makes his way to his feet and places Molly on the nearby examination table in the autodoc. He starts connecting sensor probes and activates the healing machine. *

* TheRealMe leaves Molly there. After some searching.he discovers Cozen down near Serenity’s garden. Cozen seems unconscious. TheRealMe touches Cozen’s forehead, then jerks back his hand. *

HOT!

* TheRealMe blows on his hand. *

Hmmmm…


* TheRealMe goes into Serenity’s garden, hooks up a hose, and sprays Cozen to get his temperature down. *

Heh. This is sorta fun.

I think my fishies need a walk.

*finds the top of the three story tank and jumps in with her fish bowl, gathers all six fishies and gets out of the tank the same way she walked in*

Now don't all of you look happy! Lets go for our walk now.

*walks out of the water park still soaking wet with her apparently water proof cd player still blasting music, this time about freedom and ice cream*
