Tonight, Nar is having his friends, and family over for dinner. He's done all the necessary prep to ensure everything goes smoothly. However, as he takes stock of the ingredients he's going to need, he realizes that he's running low on a few of the vegetables he needs to make the broth for his soup! Looks like he's gonna have to do some shopping!  After dropping Cookie off at his parents house, Nar dons his skates, pulls his goggles over his eyes, and peels out down the street. Thankfully, the market that sells the specific veggies he needs isn't too far of a skate from his house. He'll be back in 15 minutes, tops! Though, he really shouldn't be out and about on his own at the moment. Not with an active celebrity beef going on. There's no telling when, or where Silver's goons will strike next! Only a few blocks from the market, Nar's instincts start going crazy. Someone is following him, and managing to keep up. Likely a pegasus, but when Nar looks behind him, there's nobody there. Wait! There was movement near that building! Someone definitely just ducked behind it as he was turning to look! Looks like they were holding something in their hands too!  The moment Nar turns his head back forward, he's momentarily blinded by the bright flash of an LED light. He only barely spots the accompanying fist in time before his vision goes white. With a mixture of luck, experience, and instinct, Nar manages to block the attack, and retaliates with a jab. (https://youtu.be/X3SiDLkmBsA)(Once again, you'll want to loop this.) Nar's fist swishes through the air. His vision slowly returning enough for him to see a pegasus flying just out of his range. He's holding a VERY expensive looking photography camera with a comically large LED light at the top. "Behind!" A voice screams. Nar quickly pivots on his skates to face backwards. The motion drastically slowing him in the process. Another photographer pegasus closes in from behind. Nar's sudden picot seems to have caught him by surprise, allowing Nar to land a jab to his face. The photographer crashes to the sidewalk, and tumbles for a few moments. When he finally comes to a stop, he lifts a thumb with a weak "I'm okay." Then, his hand falls back down, and he elects to remain on the ground.  Pivoting back around to face forward, Nar spots 3 more photographers trying to surround him. There's the initial pegasus, two unicorns who look to be preparing spells, and an earth pony who is currently moving a bench to block Nar's path. Very impressive! Given that the bench was bolted to the concrete! The pegasus tries to flash Nar with his bulb again, but Nar turns his head just in time. He revs the motors in his skates to break off from the sidewalk, and dash towards one of the unicorns. The unicorn lets out some sort of cry he can't understand, then a bolt of arcane energy leaps from his horn! Nar tries to duck to avoid the crackling bolt, but it clips his shoulder. The force of the blast is enough to make him to spin violently for a moment. Recovering quickly, Nar pivots again, using his momentum to throw a kick that slams into the jaw of the earth pony, whom had been charging at him. There's a meaty "CRACK", accompanied by a grunt of pain from the earth pony. He staggers backwards, but does not fall. The pegasus comes in for a dive, but quickly halts as a firebolt barely misses Nar's head. The second unicorn curses under her breath, and prepares another spell. She never gets it off. Nar's fist slams into her stomach at great speed, sending her reeling to the ground.  The second unicorn flashes Nar with his camera, just as Nar is turning to face him. Blinded once again, Nar isn't able to react quickly enough before the pegasai drives his two feet into Nar's back. He slams onto the concrete. All the air rushes out of his lungs. The pegasus attempts to kneel down on his back to restrain him, but Nar manages to get his head up just enough to cast a point blank firebolt into his face. The pegasus screams in shock, and practically falls off of Nar's back. He flails for a moment before realizing that no, he is not on fire. This gives Nar just enough time to roll to his side, and avoid another arcane blast from the unicorn. Gasping for air, Nar pushes himself up, then lunges forwards at the unicorn. He stops himself mid lunge to turn to his right. The unicorn backs up. Nar manages to get his hands up just in time to catch the earth pony as he shoulder charges into him. The earth pony easily pushes Nar back due to his skates. It looks as though he's going to crush Nar against the wall of a store! Then, using some of what Asuka taught him from her tactical paramedic days, Nar pivots. He uses the earth pony's size, and momentum against him. Just in time, Nar flips the earth pony around. He slams back first into the wall of the store. Wasting no time, Nar throws a hook that connects with his jaw, sending him toppling to the floor. A third arcane blast misses by an inch. Nar returns his attention to the unicorn. The desperation, and disbelief is visible on his face. The two remain in a standoff for what feels like an eternity. Then, out of the corner of his eye, Nar spots the pegasus coming in for another sneak attack. He waits until the last second, then lunges forwards towards the unicorn. The pegasus slams into the earth pony, and collapses atop his comrade.  Nar rises, ready to finish the fight. Only to find it IS finished. The unicorn stands with his hands above his head in surrender. "You win. Please don't break my jaw." Nar manages to give the man a nod, just before the adrenaline fades, and he is suddenly reminded of how difficult it is to breathe at the moment. He falls to a knee, then, onto his rear. He's gonna need a moment to recover before he continues his grocery run.
