Equestria's Corruption
The Hard Truth
Previous ChapterNext ChapterDennis' POV-----------------------
Dennis was more excited than he was in a long time. He had recently finished the armor for Twilight and her friends plus himself. However something was still nagging him, two things to be exact, one, how were they supposed to beat Ocram with SILVER armor. Yeah it was strong but not nearly enough to hold up against Ocram, and how the heck was he supposed to kill Ocram with a golden sword?
Dennis sighed and decided to cross that bridge when they came to it... If they came to it.
"Oh come on Dennis, now isn't the time for doubts!" A voice exclaimed from right behind him.
"AGHH!" He yelled and turned around to see Pinkie Pie with her trademark smile on her face.
"Oh are we gonna' have a screaming contest?" she asked. "Okay my turn AGGGGHHHHHHH!" She yelled, laughing afterwards.
"Pinkie, how did you know what I was thinking?!" he asked.
"Dennis you cant start doubting yourself now!" she exclaimed, completely ignoring his question. "I mean you're right when you say that silver armor is a bit more flashy than reliable, but we don't need special super-duper strong armor when we have our wits!" she exclaimed patting him on his head with her hoof.
"Maybe, but without the right weaponry we'll get destroyed," Dennis said. Suddenly Rainbow Dash flew in a look of annoyance on her face.
"There you are, I've been looking for you two everywhere!" She yelled, eyeing both of them.
"Nice to see you too Rainbow," Dennis muttered.
"Double time it over to Twilight's, The PRINCESS is waiting for you," She said before zooming off. Dennis and Pinkie exchanged looks.
"Well cant keep her waiting can we?" Dennis asked before running after Rainbow Dash with Pinkie bouncing behind him.
Soon enough they were at Twilight's house and sure enough Celestia was there, an unusual look of fear on her face.
"The Corruption has reached the borders of Canterlot, its going up the mountain even now," she said. Twilight looked at Dennis. Dennis thought. He drew all the knowledge he knew of his world and this one and tried to make a plan.
"Okay take all the pegasi to a secure cloud location, the Corruption wont reach it," he said, and Celestia nodded. "For unicorns and earth ponies, take them to an underground bunker made of metal," he said.
"Dennis did y'all finish the armor?" Applejack asked.
"I thought you'd never ask, lets go!" he said excitedly. He was about leave but Applejack quickly grabbed him by his tail.
"Now hold on a second, ah' didn't mean lets go, ah' meant show us the armor," she said a deadpan expression on her face.
"Oh right," he said. He reached into his bag telekinetically and brought out the sets of armor, all of them growing to their actual size. The helmet had a wide gold line painted on going down the middle, with a similar shorter line going through the middle horizontally. on each side of the head (right below the ears) was a large flat spike curving upwards. The hooves were painted gold. On the chest there was a gem encrusted on each suit of armor. A red ruby for Dennis, and a gem that looked the same as the Elements of Harmony's for each corresponding pony. The rest of the suit was a shimmering silver and seemed to have no other outstanding features.
"Well do you like 'em?" Dennis asked nervously. Armor was always a pride of his. Armor and weapons. He made his own armor from his own materials, no buying from others. He also never made armor for anypony else so he was interested to see if he made his armor as well as he thought he did.
"Well they certainly look good, but the question is functional not fashionable," Twilight said.
"Well they aren't the strongest tier of armor but they'll manage in a fight," Dennis said, knocking his hoof on the silver.
"If I may put in an opinion," Celestia said. "They certainly look sturdy but with on that silver they look like a beacon, you will certainly attract attention," Dennis thought for a moment.
"Well with Rainbow flying all around with her trail and Pinkie Pies mane and tail, we kind of do that on our own," he said. Celestia simply nodded. Dennis also took out six silver bows and six silver swords. "Anypony who doesn't mind getting their hooves dirty, take a sword," he said. The silver swords had a band attached to the handle so they could be put on hooves and taken off as well. Rainbow, Pinkie and Applejack stepped forward. "Anypony who would rather not get their hooves dirty, take a bow," he said. He had a feeling only Rarity and Twilight would want a bow. He noticed that Fluttershy did not take either. "Well take a weapon, don't worry they don't bite," Dennis said.
"I don't reallywannafight," Fluttershy mumbled, the last words blending together. Luckily Dennis heard her. He thought a moment. "Okay then," he said and reached once again into his bag. This time he brought out two greater healing potions the last two he had and were more potent than regular potions.
"Well if you want you can be our medic," he said, magically handing her the bottles. "Alright are we ready, are we done, can we go yet?" Dennis asked starting to tap his hoof on the floor.
"Geez talk about impatient," Twilight said.
