“See…you?”
*PEW PANG*
*ZWIP*
*ZAP*
*BANG BANG*
These are the sounds that have been resounding through this small Pegasus’s house; Cola Command had been playing video games on her console for Celestia knows how long, and been voice-chatting with the rest of her competitive team, mostly with the co-leader of the group DreamersDUWANG.
“Say, how long have you been playing?”
“Uuuh, since about ten?”
“Ten PM? Time to cross that off of the list of “Ridiculous things that Cola Command has managed to do.””
“Hey, what’s that for?!”
“For your “achievments!”” DreamersDUWANG laughed over the microphone. “Such as chugging thirty cans of Red Bull and getting drunk off of root beer!”
“Hey, I don’t remember that last one!”
“Because you got drunk off of root beer!”
DreamersDUWANG kept monologuing on, talking about all of the “hilarious” things that Cola Command had “managed” over the last few gaming seasons. At one point, the rest of the team began yelling at him to stop, but it was no use, as Cola eventually got too angry and rage-quit from the lobby, turning off the game and the console, leaving her pouting in her dark room. She shuffled her wings and fiddled with her headset, before deciding to stand up and look out the window; the sky was a bright blue. She sighed, shaking her head from a slight headache, before deciding to go out her door to the outside.
She looked up at the cloudless sky and squinted, trying to adjust her eyes to the bright light. Another all-nighter, and she still forgets how terrible they feel in the morning. She shook her head again, one part due to the headache and the other part to get her hair out of her face. Day is not normally this bright, and something seemed to be getting brighter out of the corner of her eye. She found herself drifting in that direction, now keeping her eyes closed from that blinding white light; she soon touched something with her hoof that sent an electric feeling throughout her body, sending her reeling back.
The light soon faded, and she could open her eyes to see… a root? On the ground in front of her was a pale, glowing white root, hairs and all, with part of it seeming to grow from a strange, dark-blue rock. Overwhelmed with curiosity, Cola Command yanked the root out with her mouth, before holding it in one of her hooves; why would something like this grow here? She decided that she needed to stash this strange commodity somewhere, so she decided to try and fit the root under her band; it was a bit of a snug fit, but it didn’t fall out when she moved her hoof. She was preparing to make it back to her house, but then something seemed to trip her over…
She stood up clumsily, before she was tripped over again; she looked back to see that some kind of dark blue bands were growing out of the ground and trying to lash around her. She tried to stand back up again, but enough of the bands had wrapped around her that they were starting to drag her backwards to a strange blue stone that had grown from the ground. Soon, she was sitting on the stone, back upright, as the bands began to completely cover everything under her head, until her entire lower body had been wrapped up in the strange rope-like bands. Her tail was still left out, but then it began to fall apart…
The pink and brown hair on her tail began to fall off in clumps, leaving only the small fleshy stump, which then began to hurt immensely. The stump had begun growing rapidly, before it began digging into the ground and rooting itself in, then flashing and glowing a pale white. Her body size began to grow immensely, until she was barely able to fit on the seat. She hissed in pain as her fur and flesh was converted to a plant-like substance, and her front legs being compacted into her torso, the root in her band growing into her skin. Her back legs merged together, before they burst out of the wraps as glowing white roots that burrowed themselves into the ground in front of her. Her wings merged into her body, and her neck became much thicker, causing Cola Command to have to point her snout downward.
Her snout compacted, and her ears merged into her head, which was converted to the same glowing white plant flesh. Her face became pointed, a bit like a beak, losing their prominent nostrils. Her eyes restructured themselves closer together on her face, gaining a thick black rim and becoming a pure dark blue, with no sclera or pupil. Soon enough, she found that she was losing her ability to see, her vision blurring and darkening until she was left with pure blackness. Her mane merged into the rest of her head, and from the top and back of her head emerged even more, even thicker roots, which then dug themselves into the trees and walls behind her.
There she was stuck, unable to move and see, but could feel… everything. The roots seemed to be growing all across the area, all across the world…
…Hurts… I c-can’t see…you…?
