Equestria's Contractor
The Black Reaper
Previous ChapterNext ChapterEveryone stood silent for what felt like the longest time. Twilight was staring at Hei completely shocked yet still happy to see him. Hei kept his Gaze on Crimson Iris who was already observing the being that had just attacked him.
“Hei y you saved my Life.” Twilight said before getting cut off By Spike Jumping into her, Rarity right behind.
“Twilight your Alright, we came as soon as we possibly could.” the Dragon said kneeling next to Twilight
“Oh Twilight Darling I’m so glad your alright, all of sudden Mr. Hei said you were in danger, after seeing this really horrid blue ghost thing. Rarity said before Hei interrupted her.
“Twilight Sparkle.Take Your Friends and Yin to safety. Hei said without turning to them.
“But what about you ?” Twilight asked, getting up and moving over to get Yin and Fluttershy.
“I’ll be fine, you worry about getting out of here I’ll worry about him.” Hei said still staring at Crimson.
Twilight simply nodded,urging Yin move with Fluttershy. Rarity and Spike waited for the rest of them to catch up, as they began running towards the ponyville hospital.
“Twi..Twilight what about mister Hei.” Fluttershy asked still feeling the pain from her chest.
“Don’t worry Fluttershy he said he’d be alright. Twilight hoped he was right about this.
Hei watched them leave turning back to Crimson, who had gotten back up on his hooves, his dagger being held by his magic.
“So your the other one aren’t you. I heard the rumors of two beings that had come to Equestria. It’s you and that other one isn’t it ?” Crimson asked smiling.
Hei remained completely silent, his mask concealing any facial expressions he would be making.
“Black Reaper was it. honestly I really don’t care who you are, I’ve been ordered to kill Twilight Sparkle, and your standing in the way of me doing that. Crimson raised his dagger preparing for an attack. This prompted Hei to take out his Knife.
“heh I can tell this is gonna be fun...NOW LETS GET STARTED !” with that Crimson raised his horn firing a green energy beam straight in Hei’s direction. Instinctively Hei moved out the way as fast as he could, the beam barley catching the end of his coat. He looked at the coat to find it had burned off a small piece of the end. Regaining his focus Hei turned to see Crimson getting ready to fire again.
“Don’t tell me thats all you’ve got, I haven’t even begun to fight yet, black reaper.” Crimson said Finally releasing the green beam.
Hei rolled forward barely avoiding the attack. He realized he’d have to attack head on with this one, similar to how he did with August 7 in Russia. With this in mind Hei ran forward towards Crimson. Crimson responded by firing his energy beam multiple times in an attempt to hit Hei, but to no avail. Hei had been running from side to side throwing of Crimson’s aim. He finally lunged at Crimson. Aiming to impale him directly in the head. Crimson simply smirked and pulled out his dagger with his magic, parrying Hei’s attack. Hei began lunging forward with his Knife in multiple directions to land a hit on Crimson. However, Crimson was able to parry his attacks quite well. Crimson raised his blade to bring it across Hei neck. Seeing this Hei Pulled him self back a little, avoiding the blade, while at the same time turning his body,and countering by bring his knife to slice Crimsons head. Crimson Ducked, the knife barely missing him. Hei finally noticed Crimson’s horn was starting to glow again, knowing he was going to fire at close range. Hei flipped backwards avoiding the blasts of green energy that crimson was firing at him. Crimson finally stopped firing noticing he wasn’t hitting Hei.
“I’ll admit, hehe your fast, fast enough to keep up with even me, but unfortunately for you I have magical ability allowing me to attack and defend from a distance, I may not know what you are, but I can tell your as useless as an earth pony. You may be fast, but unfortunately for you I’m faster” Crimson said laughing.
Hei had a feeling of deja vu from his words, but chose to ignored it. Timing him self just right he threw his Knife straight at him, a cable attached to the end of it. Crimson noticed this, using his magic he stopped the knife in mid air. Hei was surprised to say the least. Not wanting to loose his weapon he reeled it back towards him, the magic aura disappearing at a certain distance. Hei now knew attacking head on was useless, he had to find a way to surprise Crimson, and then strike him down.
Hei took his cable and threw it at one of the buildings next to them. He hooked it perfectly and reeled himself up to the roof. The bump on the roof made several ponies stick there heads out to see the commotion.
“You think you can run from me that easily black reaper ?” Crimson, flew up to the roof, landing directly on the top of it. He looked around for a sign of Hei, but there was nothing, the whole roof was empty. Crimson began to become mildly annoyed that he was being played for a fool.
“Thats it where are yo.....” Crimson was interrupted by a blade in his line of vision, coming straight towards him, With quick thinking Crimson moved his head to the side, the blade slicing his cheek. Green blood began to drip from the wound.
“How did you arrg...how did you hit me, I couldn’t even see you. Crimson said putting his hoof to his cheek.
“Simple, I used my cable to swing around the building, conveniently your head was turned so I decided to strike.” Hei said, his voice having no emotion contrasting with the smiling mask, that seemed to only fuel Crimson’s rage
Crimson Glared at him, he knew there was for no reason he was going to lose this fight. Crimson began to charge for another energy blast. He made sure to keep his head down so Hei couldn’t see. Hei began to walk towards the changeling, ready to strike him down with his knife. When he got close enough, Crimson took the opportunity, Raising his head to face Hei, he revealed he was going to fire another blast. Crimson Smiled maniacally.
“I win black reaper! ” Crimson shouted laughing at the same time. This laughing didn’t last long though as Crimson was blinded what looked like a cyan colored blur. he finally felt a hoof smack him on his cut cheek. The hit through off his aim making the beam fire into the sky above them. Hei turned to see his rescuer had a familiar rainbow mane.
“He’s all your new guy.” Rainbow Dash said to Hei indicating for him to attack.
Hei wasn’t wasting in any time. Hei hooked his Knife to the cable, throwing it Directly at Crimson.
Crimson now recovering from the hit Rainbow Dash saw finally saw the knife coming at him, and frowned.
“shit.”
Crimson felt the blade stick into his shoulder passing his exoskeleton. Green blood began erupting from the wound. the force of the blow making him stumble off the edge of the roof. Hei ran to the side of the roof, looking at the floor below him, he saw Crimson on the ground a small puddle of green blood near his wound. Hei finally jumped off the roof landing next to Crimson, who was barely conscious.
“Impossible H how, could this....happen ack...to me...” Crimson said under heavy breaths.
“Unfortunately for you I’m faster.” Hei answered remembering the last time he uttered those words, but he knew he didn’t beat Crimson by himself.
“Why’d you help me, I thought you didn’t trust me.” Hei said obviously addressing Rainbow Dash.
“Hey just because I don’t trust you, doesn’t mean I’m gonna let you die. Anyway after what that creep did to Fluttershy I think he deserved what he got.” Rainbow Dash looked down at Crimson’s motionless body.
Hei went over removing the knife from Crimson’s shoulder making him cry out in pain. Hei could see he was alive, but Just barely.
He turned back to Rainbow Dash so she could finish her explanation on why she was here.
“How did you know he hurt your friend Fluttershy.” Hei asked now a little curious.
“I found Twilight and the rest heading to the hospital, after she told me what happened, I raced over here to help you.” Rainbow Dash said rather proudly.
“You were able to get over here that quickly. hmm thats rather impressive.” Hei said, and though it was concealed by his mask, he was smiling a bit.
This statement made Rainbow Dash smile proudly. Being complimented on her flying was always something she enjoyed.
“Why thanks, I am the best flyer in Equestria, but uh I will admit you weren’t so bad your self...Hei right. After seeing you just now, your pretty awesome in my book ?” Rainbow Dash said giving him a smile.
“You s son of a bitch...” the two of them turned around to see Crimson bleeding badly, and barely standing.
“hmm so you are still able to stand, your more resilient than you look.” Hei said coldly.
“D damn you, y you humiliated me, I’m going to make you pay for this. I’ll make all of you peices of trash pay for this. Crimson said furiously.
“Hey you’ve lost give it up.” Rainbow Dash shouted at the bleeding changeling in front of her.
“I’m going to Kill you.....I’m going to Kill every single one of you, hehe every single one of you bucking pieces of filthy Trash !” Crimson’s horn began to glow again but this glow was forming a green aura around him.
Hei stared in disbelief as a green flame formed around him, making him completely disappear. Hei looked over at Rainbow Dash who was just as shocked as he was. Perhaps more. Crimson was now gone the only sign that he was there, was the puddle of green blood.
“Woah, and I thought you were a complete nutcase.” Rainbow Dash said still staring at where the changeling had been.
Hei took of his mask, and walked over to the spot where he’d been. Hei knew that this wasn’t going to be the last attack on ponyville, what ever was coming he knew he’d actually need help to face it. Crimson Iris was actually a very skilled fighter, despite having a completely different anatomy. He was just as fast and just as skilled as Hei was, also he was able to use magic giving him an advantage, and then there was what he was.
“Rainbow Dash I assume you know what that creature was. ?” Hei asked the cyan pegasus.
“Uh yeah it looked like a changeling, we had to deal with them once when there Queen tried to take over Equestira. Why do you ask ?”
___________________________________________________________________________________
Queen Chrysalis waited in the ruins of her Castle patiently for her top fighter to come back with news. The news of Twilight Sparkle’s death. The thought of it made Chrysalis shudder with anticipation. Suddenly her patient finally paid off as she saw a changeling guard approaching her.
“My Queen Crimson Iris has retuned.”
“Well it’s about time, he took his time I bet, send him in.” Chrysalis said as a smile crept onto her face, but as she saw the bleeding changeling enter the room, her smile vanished.
Crimson walked into the room his shoulder still dripping blood, along with the cut on his cheek. He approached the thrown, his expression furious.
“Well Crimson, by the look on your face, I’m going to assume Twilight Sparkle gave you a bit of trouble. Pity I actually thought you’d be able to do it, but I must say I’m surprised at Twilight being this Brutal, .” Chrysalis said mocking him slightly.
“This wasn’t any of those pieces of Trash, if it wasn’t for one individual, I’d have Twilight Sparkles Heart on a silver platter.” Crimson said angrily. Catching Chrysalis's attention.
“And who might this individual be Crimson ?” Chrysalis asked seriously.
“From what I was able to gather he calls himself the black reaper, but his real name. Is Hei...
