"I. Will. NOT!!" Futtershy yelled at Stranger, right before unleashing....THE STARE
.......
The badass bounty would suddenly found himself staring in such an intense death glare his entire body protested from doing anything other then backing away from the pegasus.
Physically, the steef's body had an icy chill slowly creeping along his body, putting her fur standing on end and goosebumps all his skin.......
Mentally, his brain felt like it just suddenly hit by a tank hurtling towards it was 300 mph, paralyzing it immense terror that could only be alleviated by getting away from the pony ASAP......
Lucky, any bystanders not in Fluttershy's line of sight were thankfully spared from a glare that could make dragons burst into tears.......
DAMMIT MARK, STOP HOTTING HELPY!!
Stranger's hackles rose as he was hit with the worst fear he had ever felt. Jo Mamma, D. Caste Raider and Sekto combined could not have raised as much fear in him as Fluttershy was at that moment.
Dropping to all fours Stranger roared, a deep guttural sound no civilized creature could make, and fled, green eyes wide with terror, as he left the pegasus, and his dignity, behind.
Panting heavily he burst past the people standing outside Gunner's house and kept on going. After rounding several corners Stranger came to a stop, taking deep breaths and wondering what had just happened. Looking at his hands he noticed they were still shaking and clenched them tightly, growling. His heart was beating rapidly, and not just from the fear. Why had he waited? He could have easily just taken them, so what had made him ask instead? And what had she done to him?
Sighing, Stranger put his head in his hands.

From the shadows of the building Stranger was facing, the red light of a crimson eye glinted with amusement.
Slowly Antroz stepped out of the shadows, he had been silently observing the kerfuffle the champions were making.
"All to find some food for some very annoying furballs..."
The Makuta looked at stranger, perhaps with an eyebrow raised if he had any.
"Well? whats happened now?".
The steef snarled at the Makuta's sudden appearance, and if he looked he would see something bestial within Stranger that quickly disappeared. He looked to the side to hide the fear still lingering in his eyes. "Dunno, the yellow ones got some sort of... stare she can do."

Did you know this section has a character limit?
Out of the shadows, the Stranger would suddenly find a sword of Japanese manufacture aimed at his throat. A man clad in black, who he had not seen before, was holding it.
Snake Eyes merely shook his head, and dissapeared back into the shadows, coming into view again near Fluttershy.

~Earlier~
"I understand. I'll go and keep an eye on Grey," Mehir said, then, with a friendly wave, left the castle.
~Now~
Mehir made his way toward Grey, but stopped, a few metres away, as the Fuzzles again became the object of the group's attention. His hand strayed toward his pouch, but he did not take the spell scroll out yet.
Then Stranger tore past him, a look of horror on his equine face.
He walked closer.
"I would very much like to know what happened here," he said, unknowingly echoing Subaru.
Dreams of Revenge
"Good. He's already ruined enough things without us giving him a chance to do worse," said Grey. The look in his eyes seemed to indicate that the young reploid had a powerful need for justice... and revenge. "I'm glad I can rely on your support."
The stand off between Stranger and Fluttershy put him on edge. Were they really going to cause chaos here? The strange woman* from earlier arrived and expressed her confusion at what was going on. He couldn't say he blamed her. Unexpectedly the pastel coloured pony actually intimidated Stranger into leaving, abruptly defusing the situation. Finally Mehir (and Snake-Eyes appeared), the former more or less repeating Subaru's question.
"...Fluttershy and Stranger got into an argument about those... man eating creatures. I'm not very happy about it, but I think Fluttershy should hurry up and get this over with before anything else happens," said Grey, taking the opportunity to demerge. Taking a look around, Model A exclaimed, " Wow, when did this become the cool place to hang out in?"
"Shut up," hissed Grey, trying and failing to stuff the Biometal back into his shorts' pocket.
" What, can't a Biometal take a breath of fresh air once in a while?" asked Model A, eventually freeing himself from Grey's grasp (much to the reploid's annoyance) and taking the opportunity to hover lazily around the room.

"Alright. You want a recap, here's a recap? Pony creature takes evil cute beings. There. A recap."
Dodgers oomphed, crossing his arms:
"I still think we should drop them in a vat of acid."
One of the fuzzles growled. "Just try it idiot."
It was probably the cutest sounding insult he had ever heard.

sword of promised halp
Well, that could have gone better.
Sighing quietly (in both dismay and concern) at the aftermath of the sudden confrontation, the Hero adjusted his cap and turned back to Dodgers, making a mental note to talk to the various parties involved in this incident... in a few minutes.
"To tell the truth, sir," he said, "none of us are sure why we're here. We're pretty sure that some godlike being's plucked us from our home realities and placed us in this space, but even that's mostly an educated guess."
He paused for a while, touching his chin in contemplation for several seconds before continuing on.
"Something like this has happened before, but from what I hear, that event was only a sadistic game. If you wanted to know more, you could talk to Jack - he's the man with the topknot, white robe and long, single-edged sword. Maybe you'll run into him later." A smile, and a nod of farewell.
"See you later."
He had avoided all mention of Rey on purpose.
Walking over to Shotaro, Link came to a stop several feet in front of the detective.
"Shotaro... can we talk?"

"Y-yeah... sure..." Shotaro said, stumbling into Link's arms as he still was trying to recover from the heart attack.
WHAT HAS SCIENCE WROUGHT
Cletus came up behind the two.
"Go put him in a bed so he can recover. I've got to keep an eye on Jail."
...and that's terrible.
As Rey and Garland finished their work, the door at the front of the shrine opened up, spilling light into the gloom. "Don't be too surprised if death doesn't release you either." Garland warned Rey. "Dying never did me any favours."
"But your first death gave you us!"
Garland ignored Tiamat. "Thank you for your assistance."

A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they will never sit in.
Fluttershy shut off THE STARE after Stranger came running out the building. She sighed in disappointment. "I really didn't want to use the Stare on him," she lamented, "but he really left me no choice." She then turned around, ignoring all the comments, and went into the kitchen.
After entering she placed the fuzzles on the floor. "Now stay here while momma goes to find food, okay?" she gently asked the puffballs. She nuzzled each one and went over to the fridge. Opening it up, all she found was a pack of sausages and a head of lettuce. She took out both, mildly wondering what the heck "beef" was before shutting the door.
"Now, I can probably tell all of you eat meat, but please bare with me as all I found were these sausages and this head of lettuce," she said to the fuzzles. She managed to open the package of sausages and put both it and the lettuce in front of the fuzzles.
DAMMIT MARK, STOP HOTTING HELPY!!
huzzaaaaaaaah
Dodgers soon began to tap his foot on the floor. After a few long minutes of thinking- or was he mentally singing "It's Not Unusual"?- he raised his finger:
"I have the perfect plan! We need to prove to that pony that these cutesy things are mortal and dangerous! And to do that, we need a bait!"
He smiled, looking at the others.

Mehir raised his eyebrow.
"Such as what... Wait a second, a talking duck? Who, and what, are you?" he asked. He has seen many strange things, but this one topped them all. A sentient duck? What's next, sentient camels? Sentient beetles? Sentient horses (as he heard those strange animals the Kharos sometimes rode into battle were called)?
"I advise you, Dodgers, be gentle. Fluttershy's temperament is but a dewy petal dangling above the raging rapids of a world gone mad. It's a miracle she managed to rationalise the evidence thus far. If she sees them feed upon bipeds... I want no part in the shattering of innocence."
Bitch pills
Rey sighed slightly, setting down the last chain. "Technically I've died three four a few times already. So I guess I'll believe you leave me be now on that."
He glanced at the opening door, raising an eyebrow. "Way out?"

Easing back into life one step at a time
After Mehir left, Jail got back to work. Finishing the device - the translator between electron signals of Gunner's tech and his Device's mana circuits, he headed deep into the bowels of the castle, the room central to the spread out AI network of the many robots inhabiting it.
After establishing the connection, he begun a dialogue, convincing the castle to accept him as it's new caretaker.
huzzaaaaaaaah
"Well, here's the plan! They like meat, right? We disguise someone that has the same body type as a chicken, and we make said person wear a chicken costume. Then, we send her towards the Fuzzles, and said person acts as bait. Then, we make the pony watch the Fuzzles consume said chicken-person."
Dodgers scratched his duck chin:
"But who here looks like a chicken?"
"Come now, Dodgers, you're asking for someone with feathers and a beak that vaguely resembles a common fowl bird. That description could fit anyone here!"
WHAT HAS SCIENCE WROUGHT
Jail would feel something very cold and cylindrical pressing against the nape of his neck.
"Hi Jail."
...and that's terrible.
Jail sighed and paused his work.
"Seriously, Cletus, what's your damn problem?"

WHAT HAS SCIENCE WROUGHT
"Like I said. I don't trust you. Subaru got agitated when she heard your name. You don't seem to care about friendly fire. Like you don't care one way or the other about the people here. Like you'll screw us over at the first opportunity for power. Well, I've got 6 lead friends in the chamber and they're just dying to meet you if you pull something with this computer. Why, it seems you are making substantial alterations to the programming. Is there any reason you can't make your date with a Silver-Star .45-70? Is there any reason I'm not going to wake up and find out you've got the robots attacking us?"

Shotaro then got up. "You heard the filly... Back. Off." Shotaro said to the Stranger, struggling to put on the Lost Driver.
