Me and the Crusaders left the alley and were instantly stopped by a Purple Earth Pony “Girls what are you doing out here? The lunch break was over thirty minuets ago, and you.”
“Me?”
“Yes you. What were you doing back there?”
“Well I heard them crying and Applebloom had a broken leg I healed that but I kinda also offered to help them with a project. I didn't know they were skipping school.”
“No excuses. As punishment, you will chaperone the field trip next week to the Canterlot Sculpture Garden.”
“What?”
“Do I need to repeat myself?” Years of raiding with my guild had taught me several things, but one most importantly never make them repeat themselves.
“No ma'am.”
“Good, I will see you at the school building on Monday.”
I stood there for several minutes, dumbfounded at what had just transpired, when a flash of green light interrupted my train of thought. “Damn, guess the Hearth is still a bit off. Yo Azok, what exactly are you doing in the middle of the road?”
“I don't know, but I think I just agreed to take a bunch of kids on a field trip. Anyway, how did the healing go?”
“It went ok, but they didn't pay me. Cheap bastards. You find a job yet, cuz we're still broke.”
“Ya, some wierd Dr ran some tests on me then payed me 100,000 Gold bits; apparently that is a lot of money. I also got a new weapon,” I held out my new spiked mace.
“Good for you. I'm gonna head back to the library, see you there.” Vinny walked off towards Twilight's library, leaving me standing by my self. I spent the rest of the day wandering around Ponyville, not doing anything in particular the rest of the weekend, followed the same pattern. Then Monday arrived.
It was early in the morning as the sun had not yet risen; the streets were empty except for one lone, half awake paladin. “I hate night time, I feel so weak. HURRY UP AND RAISE THE DAMN SUN CELESTIA.”
“HEY SHUT UP! PONIES ARE TRYING TO SLEEP!”
“Sorry...” I hate night time. It took me twenty minutes to reach the school building; there were about ten foals in front of the sign in front of the school. The loud clang of my armor alerted them to my presence, which was met with mixed results. The CMC were happy to see me, the ones I had threatened to turn into shoes almost passed out, and a little pink and grey pony walked up to me.
“I am your chaperone. That means you have to do what I say, and what I say is leave me alone till the sun comes out.”
“And what if we don't what are you going to do huuuuuh.”
“Hey Applebloom ,these two friends or yours?” I asked pointing to the pink and gray fouls.
“No.”
“Good,” I focused a bit of holy light to my eyes making them glow like flashlights “I am the extension of the power of the sun, do you want to anger me?”
The two were visibly shaken and scurried away whimpering. “What did ya do that for? That wasn't very nice.”
“Well Applebloom,when you get power from the sun you can get cranky when the moon is out, sorry.”
“Just don't do that around Ms.Cheerilee.”
At that moment Ms.Cheerilee trotted out of the school building and addressed the students, “Hello students. Today we will be going on a field trip to the Canterlot sculpture gardens, we will also be chaperoned by Azok Sunstrider.”
“Sup.”
“Now, if you will all follow me, we will head to the train station.”
The walk to the train took a bit but when we got the the sun had finally risen. Sadly, however, there were complications: I couldn't fit in the train. “Ms.Cheerilee there is a small, big problem.”
“What is it Mr.strider?”
“I can't fit in the train, it's too small.”
“Oh dear, and I thought that the first problem was bad.”
“What first problem?”
“The station sold too many tickets so three of the students might have to stay here.”
“Don't worry, I have an idea.”
“What do you mean?”
“Not important,” I stuck my head into the train car and shouted “Cutie Mark Crusaders, front and center!”
“What is it?” they asked in unison.
“Well, there is a small problem, so I'm going to have to fly to Canterlot, and I was wondering if you would like to go with me?”
“Sounds like fun!” they all said in unison again.
“Ok I'll go tell Ms.Cheerilee.” The frazzled school teacher was near the front of the train arguing with the conductor.
“Well there has to be something that you can do; I'm not going to leave three of my students here.”
“Excuse me Ms.Cheerilee, but I have the situation under control.”
“What do you mean Mr.Strider?”
“Well, I’m going to fly myself and the CMC to Canterlot. I will try and take it slow so we get there around the same time, but if I get there before you, we will be waiting in the sculpture garden.”
“What do you mean fly? You don't have wings.”
“Don't worry, I have everything under control. CMC ten hut!” Almost instantly there were three little fillies standing in front of me saluting. “Say goodbye to your teacher.”
“Bye Ms.Cheerilee,” again in unison.
I walked off of the platform (sandstone) and transformed into my drake form. “Hop on CMC.” They look on the nearby ponies’ faces were priceless; it was a mix of fear and ‘what the fuck just happened’. After all three of them had secured themselves to the saddle on my back, I let out a roar and took off into the sky.
The flight took longer than the last time I flew from Canterlot because I said I would follow the train. I reached the garden at about ten in the morning; the CMC had fallen asleep during the flight so I tried to be as quiet as possible, which was hard especially when you are a dragon landing in the in the leaders of the country's garden. As soon as I touched down, I was surrounded by Unicorn and Pegasus guards.
“FREEZE DRAGON!”
I held one of my claw/finger up to my mouth “Shhhhh, there are kids sleeping.”
“I SAID FREEZE!”
“And I said shut the fuck up. Do I have to get Celestia, because I will.”
“YOU WILL NOT GO NEAR THE PRINCESS!”
“What part of ‘shut the fuck up’ did you not understand?”
There was a flutter of wings and saw a Hippogryph land in front of the guards. “Heya Az, what’s going on? At ease gentlecolts.” After the Hippogryph said that, the guards flew and teleported away.
“How do you know me?” I questioned while looking at the Hippogryph.
“It’s me, Badger, mate.”
“Name doesn't ring a bell, sorry.”
“I broke your axe.”
“God damnit not you again.”
“I could always get the guards to yell and wake up your precious cargo..”
“I will eat you, I'm still a dragon remember”
“Do you like bananas?”
I could sense a demonic presence take over Badger. I quickly shifted back to my normal form (the CMC floated down behind me with tiny parachutes strapped to them). Raising my right arm I shot a lance of Holy Light [1] at the possessed Hippogryph, it struck him in the chest and he reeled back a bit then yelled at me.
“WHAT THE FUCK MAN!? WHAT WAS THAT FOR?”
“Why don't you tell me why there was some demon thing in you?”
“Not exactly a demon, but I was going to see you about it anyways... Well regardless, thanks for the help on taming him, and that hurt!” He looked back to the guards behind him, holding out spears at me because of the sudden attack. “It’s okay I’m fine. Go inside and get some rest” he said while rubbing his chest.
I heard some yawns and looked down behind me at the now waking up CMC “Are we there yet.”
“We have been here for about ten minutes Sweetie Belle” Applebloom and Scootaloo had also woken up by this time and were stretching their backs and yawing.
“Oh there you are Mr.Strider” I turned to see Ms.Cheerilee walk up with the rest of the class
“Strider? I didn’t picture you having such a casual alias.. I always thought of you more of a ‘James’”
“I don't have a last name. My rank is Sunstrider, she is just saying it wrong.” I walked up to Ms.Cheerilee and greeted her and asked if she still needed me to chaperone, she said no. A short jaunt and I was next to Badger again “Wanna go explore the town?”
“Sure thing, where to first, though?”
“Armor shop. I need some new gear, this stuff is pretty old.” I opened up my spell book and selected a ground mount. A rune appeared on the ground and a bike similar to Vinnys appeared, only it was much bigger.
“Da fuq!? How did- no. You know what, it’s magic. Fuck explaining it.”
“Just get in the damn bike.”
“How exactly do I do that?”
“Approach it from the left side,” I explained. When he got close enough to the bike a side seat popped out and assembled it self.
“Holy shit! What the hell?”
“I made the bike so when any living thing gets near the left side a side seat will pop out, now get in the bike.”
“Celestia have mercy on me...” Badger leaps in.
I pulled out my trusty magic map and scanned it for an anvil shape “Cool there is an armor shop about a mile from here”
“You know you could’ve just asked me, I’ve been here a while and-” before he could finish I revved the engine and we were off. “-WHAT THE FUCK!”
I swerved through the streets avoiding mares and colts alike.
“ARE YOU SURE YOU CAN DRIVE THIS THING?” badger yelled over the roar of the engine.
“WELL ITS BEEN A COUPLE OF YEARS BUT I STILL REMEMBER A HOW TO DRIVE IT.”
“FUCK IT! I’M OUT!”
Before he managed to escape I jumped the bike off of a small hill, slamming the handlebars to the left and causing the bike to spin in mid air “WOO! STILL GOT IT.” I looked over to badger to see him curled in the seat, softly mumbling to himself, and swaying back and forth. It was another five minutes till I skidded to a stop in front of a store called ‘Armor R Us’. When we finally stopped moving Badger jumped out and kissed the ground yelling
“THANK YOU CELESTIA!!!! THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!”
