Rise of the Commander
Chapter 4:Punishment
Previous ChapterPonyvillie Hospital
It has been six hours after the invasion,it wasn't easy for Raven to get inside because there were a few changelings roaming inside the hospital and Raven had to go door to door to check if the doctors and the rest of the staff were okay.After three long hours,Raven got rid of the remaining changelings, the doctors and nurses were safe to come out of their office,the nurses took care of the mane six and put them in a room.There were no serious injuries on the mane six,the nurses told Raven that to let them rest for a couple hours,so Raven went inside the room,sat on a chair and waited.
Raven just looked at the mane six,he knew that they weren't aware what happen to Chrysalis,and if they did hear what happen to her,they wouldn't be happy.
"They have to learn to accept how I serve justice.It has been almost four years since the death of my love ones,I should have died too,but I lived,and I finally figured out why.The killers who killed my love ones, the scum who like to kill and torture others. They've given me a reason to live and now,its their turn to die."
Raven now realized that holding a person captive in a cell won't change their ways,they will still do evil no matter how hard you try to help them,killing someone might not work for some people but it works for Raven.Raven has been through a lot in his life,murder,hatred and jealously is what he's been through.Raven stop thinking about his life and went on focusing on the six ponies,who are still recovering from their injuries.
When suddenly,one of the ponies woke up."Ugh,what happen?" Fluttershy said.
"Oh, your awake."
"Raven? What happen to us?" Fluttershy said curiously. "Why does my head hurt?"
"Queen Chrysalis threw all of us to the ground,I was the only one who got up."
"What happen to Chrysalis?" Fluttershy aksed.
"I killed her."
Fluttershy's eyes grew big. "R-Raven we d-don't tolerate k-killing in Equestria" Fluttershy said nervously.
"Well they have to learn to accept it."
"B-But you'll be h-held captive."
"By who?"
"Princess Celestia."
"Like a princess thinks she can take me on." Raven mumbled.
"Raven,I realized that you might had a rough past but that doesn't mean you have to kill." Fluttershy said.
Fluttershy puts her hooves on Raven's shoulder. "Please Raven."
Raven just looked at her for a moment,Fluttershy was right,killing is not the answer but Raven still won't budge,even though Fluttershy makes a good point,Raven won't change his ways of how he serves justice.
"I'm sorry Fluttershy but my way is better,if you guys don't like it then stay out of way."
Fluttershy didn't give a response back.That's when the other ponys woke up.
"Looks like you guys are finally awake." Raven said.
"I've heard what happen and I'm not happy about it." Twilight said.
"Like I said to Fluttershy,you will have to learn to accept how I serve justice."
"Killing isn't the answer!" Twilight shouted.
"I don't care."
Twilight becomes even madder."We don't tolerate killing in Equestria!"
"Well that's too bad." Raven said in a mocking tone "Guess you have to learn to deal it with it."
Twilight was about to say something back but Fluttershy stopped her from doing so.
"Twilight,I think you should stop."
"Stop?! Why we stop talking about somepony who just killed Queen Chrysalis!" Twilight said in a angry tone. "You know we don't tolerate killing in Equestia!"
"I know but what would happen if Raven didn't kill Queen Chrysalis?"
Twilight stopped for a moment and thought about that."I......guess she will rule over Equestria." Twilight said in a calm tone. "I...think I see your point Fluttershy but I just get over the fact that Raven is so...violent."
"I know,it was confusing at first but...I understand why Raven acts this way." Fluttershy said.
Twilight and the other ponies turn to Raven.
Raven let out a heavy sigh."Well it all started back in Velder,I was commoner back then and I was high rank too,I didn't realize I made other people jealous,that's when I was framed and sentence to prison.My friends,comrades and my fiancee rescued me and we all hid within the forest in the outskirts of Velder but the people who helped me were left behind and died,everything I loved and care for slipped away from me.And I saw a Nasod figure told me he will give me rebirth and power,i accepted and then,everything went back.I awoke in a Nasod capsule and I got a prototype Nasod claw."
"So it looked like that?" Twilight asked,pointing at Raven's Nasod claw.
"Well not exactly." Raven said. "It looked more...improved and there's another story about that."
"Tell us!" Pinkie Pie screamed excitedly.
"Well I found another reason to fight,to honor the death of my loved ones and the Crow Mercenaries.I made adjustments to my Nasod arm and I succeed in giving it the ability to deal explosive hits. The more I use it, the more powerful it becomes, and when I overheat, I unleash a display of massive firepower.And I also made a little promise to myself when I became the Weapon Taker,I have said
I will remain the Raven that I was to begin with.
As long as I am alive, the Crow Mercenaries will never die out; I am back and I will show you the Crow Mercenaries restored to its former glory.
For them... I will once again don the uniform of the Crow Mercenaries..."
The ponies stood there,processing all the details of Raven's life,Twilight kinda felt bad for Raven,even though she knew she couldn't cooperate with him,she will still help him through this.Then Twilight thought of something,if Princess Celestia heard Raven do all this violent stuff,she'll throw Raven into a cell for the rest of his life.Twilight couldn't decide, if she didn't report to Princess Celestia,she will get punished too, but she didn't want to ruin Raven,that's when Twilight thought of a plan,she will report to Canterlot to Princess Celestia to try to convince her that Raven isn't really a bad creature.
Twilight went towards Raven. "Raven,I would appropriate it if you would come with us to Canterlot to meet Princess Celestia."
Raven raised his eyebrow. "I'm not gonna be held captive am I?" Raven asked.
"Of course not!" Twilight smiled. "It's just a meeting,don't worry about it."
Raven gave Twilight a suspicious look. "Well...all right."
Twilight jumped in joy. "Great! Now,let's go everypony!"
Everyone head out the door of the hospital to Canterlot to meet the Princess.While they are walking,Raven started thinking what might happen when they arrived to Canterlot. "I don't really trust Twilight,she said I wouldn't be held captive,but Fluttershy said I will be held captive.I'm keeping my eye's on Twilight when we arrived to Canterlot,I don't really trust to be okay when we get here." Raven hoped he didn't have to be...defensive when he arrives to Canterlot. "Let's hope I don't kill anyone this time."
