Equestrian Monster Hunters
Chapter 1: The Orphanage (intro)
Load Full StoryNext Chapter"Alright children! Time to wake up, breakfast is ready!"
Vinyl started to wake up as she heard the voice of the caretaker of the orphanage telling her and the others to get up and get ready for the day. She sat up in her bed while scratching her electric blue hair and heard the sound of her best friend in the bunk above her snoring. Glaring, Vinyl climbed up to see Rainbow Dash and her long rainbow hair covering her cyan tank top and shorts that were decorated with her trademark "Rainbow Lightning Bolt" cloud. Letting out a exhausted breath, she shook her friend to wake her up,
"Dash, wake up. Breakfast..."
"Mwah- wha?" She mumbled as she was shaken out of her sleep. Her eyes widen as she processed the word breakfast. "Man... I don't think I can handle another day of porridge," she grumbled as she remembered the contents of the breakfast at the orphanage.
"Hey, it isn't that bad. Stop being such a little kid,"
"I'm not little! Besides you can't call me that since we are the same age!"
"I'm pretty sure that twelve-years-old is little," Vinyl replied with a smug look. They did this every morning to get each other fully awake. The two were almost like sisters and sometimes were even mistaken as such. No matter what they were doing, they would most likely always be seen next to each other. They had both been there for around two years, both arriving within a week of each other. Although the two of them never lied to each other, they promised each other to never ask the other how their parents died. They also never felt like talking about their parents, for the memories of them were too painful.
After getting ready for the day, eating breakfast, and playing outside for a while (with the exception of Vinyl and Rainbow Dash who thought sleeping in a tree and reading a book near said tree to be a nicer way to spend the time), the orphans were told to come inside to meet their new guest. This was rare for the orphanage due to not many people wanted to see parentless children, for it reminded them of what lurked in the Everfree Forest. While returning to the building, Vinyl and Dash were trying to guess who the visitor might be.
"A clown? Seriously Dash?" chuckled Vinyl.
"I don't know, maybe?" shrugged Dash.
"Well, I think that it might be some kind of rich guy from Canterlot doing some sort of charity work,"
"Could be, only one way to find out!" Dash began to race towards the orphanage much to Vinyl's surprise, who then imitated her friend in a attempt to beat the athlete. But of course this was futile for Dash was the fastest kid in the orphanage and never lost a race or athletic trial. Back at the Orphanage, the girls were out of breath and barely heard the caretaker call them over to the room with the guest. The girls obeyed and were shocked at who was there.
"Oh hello there you two! I was just about to start, you can sit over here, I think it's empty," greeted a young woman with blonde hair wearing a uniform know very well by the two girls. Dash and Vinyl, while still in shock, rushed to the spot she pointed towards and beamed at the young woman. She looked at them in surprise and glanced at the caretaker who smiled at the two children. At that moment the uniformed woman smirked in understanding and faced the children.
"Well, as I was saying, my name is Captain Rebecca Chase. Although my friends in my hunting party call me Cloud Kicker! I am what is known as a huntress, someone who hunts down monsters to protect Equestria from the likes of: werewolves, serpents, chimeras and more!" Cloud Kicker explained to the kids in awe. Vinyl was looking at her with inspiration while Dash saw possibly one of the coolest people in the world.
"There are three types of hunters: Magi, Rangers, and Knights. Which one you become, if you decide you would like to be one, depends upon you birthright based off of your lineage. For example: a Magi's birthright comes from the unicorn goddess Arcadia, a Ranger's Birthright comes from Rosella the Pegasus Goddess, and lastly Knights get their birthright from the Mare Goddess Viola. Each have different ways of doing things but we all have three things in common, first we work together in hunting parties to cover each others weaknesses; second we each champion a noble which means we protect, serve, and represent them outside of Canterlot; and lastly we each do whatever we can do in order to help our hometowns prosper throughout the year. I am a Ranger who serves Lady Glittershot, and I use to reside here in Ponyville."
Dash and Vinyl were both enthralled by the Ranger. They heard about hunters before they came to the orphanage and Cloud Kicker, the youngest Huntress being at the age of eight-teen, was here telling everyone here what they were like and what they did. They both dreamed of becoming Huntresses since the first day of hearing about them. They listened to the stories that Cloud Kicker told them and asked many questions. After a while the others went off to do other things or go to adoption interviews which no one would dare miss out on, but Dash and Vinyl were now sitting at a table with Cloud Kicker talking to her about her experience as a Ranger. They were like that for another two hours before the caretaker came by to see what they were up to.
"Oh my- are you three still at it?" she asked. Cloud Kicker looked at her with a embarrassed expression.
"Yeah, I didn't realized how much of a hero I was to these two before I started talking to them," replied the Ranger. Then her eyes widened as she remembered the other reason why she came. "Hey Ms. Fluttershy, you said that these two's adoption interviews don't go well right?" Fluttershy nodded, "Well, I happen to know a married couple who happen to be looking to adopt." This made the girls excited.
"Really!?" squealed Vinyl.
"What are they like!?" questioned Rainbow Dash.
"Well, they live and own Sweet Apple Acres, they adopted both a orphaned nephew and a homeless girl on the streets, one of them is a fashion designer that is quite famous in both Ponyville and Canterlot, and one last thing that usually makes kids say no to them..." replied a skeptical Cloud Kicker. The girls noticed this and became kind of worried.
"What is it?" asked Vinyl.
"They are lesbians," She said hoping that the girls would still want to meet her friends. The girls looked at each other confused, then looked back at Cloud Kicker.
"Huh?" asked Dash.
"They are two women who are attracted to, in simple terms, other women like a man and women would be." stated Fluttershy. She then started to feel nervous when the three looked at them in a confused manner. "Err... I happen to be one... though I am single at the moment..."
"Umm... yeah... that is pretty much it," agreed Cloud Kicker, who in all honesty was expecting Fluttershy to be straight but was well... 'shy' around guys. She then noticed the girls had that interested look on their faces and she guessed what was going to happen next...
"When can we met them?" they both asked at the same time.
