It Begins

Guan stood on the balcony of his tree hut, high above the forest ground. He looked to the stars, his planets two bright moons dangling in sky, contemplating to himself.

" Having trouble sleeping my love?" came a feminine voice behind him.

Guan cringed at the word 'love' and turned to face the voice. Standing through the doorway was a female yautja. She wore a robe covering her body for the night chill. She was rather small for a female yautja, though Guan didn't mind. Her name was Ke'Rava and she was Guan's mate.

Guan turned back and continued his star gazing. Ke'Rava walked up behind him and embraced him, her firm breasts pressing against his muscular back.

" What troubles you my hunter?" she asked with concern.

Guan sighed " I'm troubled by what you asked me at the youngblood trails today."

Ke'Rava gave a puzzled look to Guan, stepping back from him and crossing her arms.

" What of it?" she asked in an annoyed tone.

Guan turned and faced Ke'Rava " You asked me to be life mates with you, like the Elder..."

She nodded.

" ... Im not yet sure if I can." he said flatly

Ke'Rava looked a little surprised at her mates response. Guan walked passed her and went back into the hut. She then turned around and walked inside the hut, her surprise now turned to slight anger.

" And why is this? " she spat with her mandibles flared.

Guan was putting on his Champion armour " I'm still young Ke'Rava, I feel im not yet ready for such a large responsibility, among all the rest. However I do care enough for you that I want no other male to claim you." he said while putting on the last parts of his armour.

" So you wont be with me for life, but you refuse me mate with any other?!" an offended Ke'Rava said.

" Its complicated Ke'Rava." Guan stated, reaching for his bio helmet.

" NO ITS NOT!" Ke'Rava roared " Your just making it complicated you fool. Just give me an answer, do you want to be with me or not!"

Guan put on his bio helmet and walked up to the angry female and placed his hands on her shoulders " I don't know yet Ke'Rava, but I will soon."

He let go of her shoulders and walked outside of the hut.

" How?" she asked.

Guan chuckled to himself " Im going on a hunt."

The launching station echoed with sounds of ship engines roaring. Guan sat on crate and sharpened his Wristblades. Two youngbloods were inside his ship, packing food and medicine. This was quite a nice luxury as most hunters had to pack there own supplies but since Guan was such a ranking yautja, menial tasks like that were up to others. This also gave hime more time to think about the predicament he was in. Why is she not happy with what we are now. She knows I have duties to the clan. Guan puzzled this in his head for what seemed to be an eternity, only being brought out of the trance by one of the youngbloods.

" Everything is ready for your departure my lord. " the youngblood said, his eyes not meeting with Guan's, a good sign of respect.

" Good, then you are both free to leave. " Guan told them.

With that the youngbloods left, probably returning to their training. Guan lifted himself from crate and walked towards his awaiting ship. He stopped when he felt something, as if he was being watched. Snarls came from the open entry door to the launching station. Guan stood like a statue, unfazed by the frightening noise. a large hound emerged form the massive doorway. Guan groaned when he noticed that this particular hound was his. To make matters worse, his hound was not alone. Ke'Rava stepped out behind the large beast, in full set of armour. http://www.deviantart.com/art/On-The-Hunt-311612418

Guan cocked his head to the side " Ke'Rava, what are you doing?" he asked sternly.

Ke'Rava and the hound made their way down steps from the door " I was thinking that we could hunt together. we could discuss this predicament further. " she said, stopping in front of Guan.

Guan contemplated the idea for a few seconds. Ke'Rava stared inventively at her mate and their hound had now fallen asleep. Guan put a hand on her shoulder.

" No my mate, this is something I must solve myself." Guan said, taking his hand of her shoulder and turning to enter his ships.

" We need to figure this out together my love, only then...." Ke'Rava began.

" No Ke'Rava." he said with slight annoyance.

Ke'Rava growled " Please, we must do this together."

" NO."

" Why must you be like this GUAN!"

" I SAID NO!!!!" Guan roared, the room echoing from his booming voice.

Ke'Rava was taken back but still did not flinch like most did when Guan was angered. The hound was awoken by the thundering nose. Ke'Rava sneered at her mates outburst but knew that arguing with him would only make things worse.

" Very well, hunter. I wish you luck on your journey." she spat.

Guan groaned " I will return soon Ke'Rava."

He walked into his ships cockpit and was about to seal it. Ke'Rava moved to the opening of the ship. Guan faced her before sealing the opening.

" Guan..." she said pure sincerity in her voice " If you do not have a decision for me by next mating season.... I will mate with others besides you."

Guan was actually surprised by what she said and before he could respond, she turned her back on him and left with the hound. Guan stood silent for a few moments. He grunted and slammed a button closing the opening. The Champion made his way to the cockpit and blasted of to the stars.

Two days later.

Forty-eight hours of nonstop hunting and yet he still had no answer. Guan wanted Ke'Rava only for himself but couldn't imagine being life mates, it was two odd a thing. Only a hand full of clan members had life mates, and most were retired warriors who had either had hunted enough or had just grown to old. Guan was still young and as Champion of the clan, he had to devote to much time to the clan to have a life mate. For some reason though he didn't want to let her go. It was an emotion that Guan had never felt before.

Guan looked down to his lap were there was a new trophy he had collected. It was the skull of a Turian he had hunted down on its home planet Palaven. He stroked the skull and looked into the vastness of space. He was in an uncharted part of universe, searching for new planets to hunt on but he had not yet found one. He stood from his captains chair and moved towards his trophy rack. He stuck the skull on one of the free pikes sticking from the wall.

" Computer." Guan called out.

" YES MY LORD." the mechanical voice said.

" I need to rest, awake me if you find a planet with possible game." he ordered.

" VERY WELL MY LORD, REST WELL."

Guan entered his sleeping chambers and laid on his hard bed. He stared at the top of the room and slowly drifted to sleep.

" WARNING, WARNING ENGINE FAILURE. PLANETARY IMPACT IN ONE MINUTE." the computer voice warned.

Guan awoke with a fright, lunging out of his bedroom and back into the cockpit. The yautja sat in his seat and with a command on his wrist computer, sealed everything in the cockpit.

" Computer, I told you to tell me when we approached a planet, and why are crashing?" Guan asked.

" MY LORD, I WAS ABOUT TO INFORM YOU BUT AS SOON AS WE NEARED THE PLANET, OUR ENGINES STOPPED MALFUCTIONED." the voice said " PLANETARY IMPACT IN THIRTY SECONDS."

Guan pressed a combination of buttons on the seats arm rests and with that a metal case encased Guan.

" This is not going to be pleasant. " Guan growled.

" IMPACT IN 5,4,3,2....."

" GRRRRRRRRRROAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRR." Guan roared.

The hunter awoke from a soft floor. He was hyperventilating, his heart pounding from his dream. When he collected himself he observed his surroundings. He was in a small wooden room with a few bookshelves in it. He looked down at his body. He had a large bandage on his right thigh and an IV in his right arm. He plucked the IV out of his arm and threw it across the room. Guan tried to stand but was greeted with an excruciating pain in his leg. He released a grunt and fell on his rear end. He couldn't even stand. Guan searched though a pouch on his belt and pulled out a two piece cylinder. He separated it and revealed purple crystals protruding from each flat end. Guan gritted his teeth. The predator slammed the crystals into his leg and released a howl of pain. The crystals dissolved and began to numb the pain and completely healed any remaining wounds. Guan panted and then sighed with relief. He stood with no pain and removed the bandages. Guan heard some rustling outside of the room.

" Princess, should we check on the alien?" came a feminine voice.

Guan cloaked himself and hid behind the door.

" Yes, I think he should be awake by now, it has been two weeks." came a voice that he assumed was a different princess than the one he had met before.

Two weeks!

The door slowly opened and Guan moved with it. The two equines walked into the room. Guan switched his vision to the planets spectrum. This princess was taller that the one he had met before and was alabaster in colour. The smaller one was one of the equines in the cave. It had a horn and was purple.

" What, where is he?!" the small one yelled.

Guan uncloaked and slammed the door closed. The two ponies twirled around to face him. Guan just stared at them silently.

The princess spoke calmly " Hello Mr. Guan-thwei, my name Is Princess Celestia. I believe you have already met my sister, Luna."

Guan still said nothing.

" This is my student Twilight Sparkle." she turned her head to face the small equine " She is the one who brought you here and saved...."

Before she could react, Guan backhanded Celestia across the face, sending her into the bookshelves. Twilight gasped and rushed towards her teacher. Guan extended his hand and grasped Twilight by the hair. He lifted her to his face.

" Why did you save me, who have you told of my existence!" Guan yelled.

" I..I didn't tell anyone, th..e..y just saw you and news spread!" she stuttered

Guan's anger bubbled over " HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW!" he roared.

" Please don't hurt me!" Twilight sobbed.

Guan extended his wrist blades making Twilight hyperventilate with fear. He raised his arm in striking position.

" How. Many. " he said menacingly.

Twilight was to afraid to say anything, just started crying. Guan groaned at the coward and released her.

" I spare you only, ONLY because you saved my life." he said with malice.

Before the two beings could continue, Guan was enveloped in a golden hue and was pinned against the wall by an unknown force. Guan pushed against the force but could not break free. He then noticed what was pinning him. It was the princess.

" How dare you strike me, a princess of Equestria!" Celestia yelled.

Guan pushed himself of the wall slightly, but was just push right back.

" You dare threaten an Element of Harmony, YOUR SAVIOR NO LESS!" she exclaimed.

Guan roared at the princess but It did not faze her.

" You are either very brave or very stupid." she said " Now I'm going to release you, but only if you are calm. Nod if you understand me."

Guan didn't want to but he saw no way out of this situation. He calmed down and slowly nodded his head. The golden hue disappeared and he was free from the wall.

" Yes, you have been revealed, but this is not a problem, we can..." Celestia began.

" You fool, my existence has now been revealed. ALONG WITH MY TECHNOLOGY." Guan growled " Do you really think that no being at all would not want to steal such power?"

" And that is why we have over one hundred guards protecting you spaceship." Celestia smiled " Nothing can get in, Nothing can get out."

Guan furrowed his brow " And your sure of that? "

" Yes." she said with complete confidence.

" Then I suppose this is acceptable " he said darkly.

" Now I believe you have something to say to Twilight?" the solar princess asked.

Guan looked down at the horned equine who was cowering behind her mentor. He looked back at Celestia.

" If you expect me to apologize for my actions, then you will be disappointed." Guan stated " But for saving my life, you have my gratitude."

Celestia frowned " Very well, then your free to return to your ship when you wish. "

Guan said nothing as he left. He opened the door and ducked underneath it. When he was outside, he cloaked himself and made his way back to the forest.

Twilight looked up at her mentor " Princess, why did you let him go, HE HIT YOU "

Celestia looked down and smiled at her student " Because, I sense something about him, as if he has a higher purpose or potential."

" Twilight, I want you and the Elements to teach our visitor about friendship."

Twilight's jaw almost hit the floor " YOU WANT US TO TEACH THAT THING FRIENDSHIP! WE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE AN EASIER TIME REFORMING DISCORD!"

" I know that it may be hard Twilight but you must try. I would like Pinkie Pie to teach him laughter first, he seems he could use a good laugh." Celestia told her student.

" Ok, princess. I'll try." Twilight gulped.

" Thank you my faithful student, now if you will excuse me I have a meeting with the griffin king. good luck Twilight." Celestia said, giving Twilight a hug before teleporting back to Canterlot Castle.

Twilight sat by herself in the messy room " Well this is going to be interesting"

Celestia sat alone in her bedroom. She closed her blinds an turned the lights off. With her magic she made screen appear with a golden glow outline. On the screen though did not appear the kind king though, but it was his son.... Razorbeak.

" Hello princess. Pleasure seeing you again." the griffon prince said with sadness in his voice.

His voice sent shivers down Celestia's spine " Prince Razorbeak, where is the king, I thought we were talking about the food trade?"

" Yes we have received the recourses and as my father promised, we are preparing your oil. As of the king, well.... your looking at him." he said sadly

Celestia gasped.

" He died in his sleep. It was very peaceful"

" I'm... I'm so sorry for your loss." Celestia said sincerely

" It's fine, thank you for your kind words... but if you don't mind, perhaps we could discuss our trade at another time.. I must morn for my father." he said, close to tears.

Celestia nodded her head " Of course I wont keep you."

Celestia closed the screen and sat in silence. something felt.... wrong.

Razorbeak sat on the throne and sunk his head. He began to laugh softly as he stood from the throne. He walked down the golden steps. looking down he saw blood splattered on the bottom steps. He stopped when he reached the base of the stairs. There laid a headless corpse. Razorbeak's laughing intensified to a manically cackle as he raised his right claw. In it was a bloody scimitar. He raised his left claw. in it was his fathers head. He was still laugh as he walked out of the throne room, his cackle echoing though the room.
" HHAHAHAHA. LET IT BEGIN! HAHAHA."
