Chapter 2: A eventful reuion
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Ugh…, what time is it Twi?"
She giggled, "Its only 9:30, you really need to start going to bed earlier," she soon exited the bedroom and went down stairs. Why does Alexander have to come over so damn early!, I thought. I soon closed my eyes but then I was awoken my the sound of my stomach. Looks like I am getting up know, I thought. I slowly crawl out of bed; I grabbed my glass and started to head down the stairs. A bright light filled the room, and it was gone in a flash; standing there in the middle of the room was Alexander, and wait…what?!
"You should really take the chariot hon, your a Prince now, we only want whats best for you".
"I know, I know…. I just feel weird, I want to be treated equally like a normal pony," I sighed, for some reason, feeling like I was better than any pony made me feel bad, but it was more than that, it made me feel like one of the popular kids on earth who used to beat me up; I didn't want to become the thing that I had hated for so many long years.
"We know your feelings about this," said Celestia lovingly, "but we only want the best for you, plus we want you safe from harms way," she came close and kissed me on the head, she soon started to nuzzle my neck.
"Please?" begged Luna, her eyes became wide and she put on her best pouting face. I sighed, I couldn't help it, I just loved them too much to say no,… when they are around me.
"Fine," I said, Luna's face brighten up with a big smile, she kissed me and wrapped her hoofs around me, "you know?" I chuckled, "its kind of hard to follow what you two say, if you keep me from doing it," they both giggled in response.
"Ohh…, just a few more minutes of cuddling," Luna said holding me tighter in her hoofs.
"You know, I really don't want to be late," I said sheepishly.
"I know Twilight..," Celestia said, "she won't mine... besides, having you with us brings us great joy," she soon wrapped her wings around me.
'Okay…, i'll stay a little longer'.
'I knew you would,' they both said in unison.
*****
On the day of the wedding, after the part, 'you may know kiss the brides', two magical things happened. One, like Celestia and Luna, I could read the minds of the ponies in Equestria. And two, I was changed from an normal earth pony, to a tall and strong Alicorn. But there was another thing, becoming an Ailcorn that has married two other Alicorns, I was able to talk to them with my mind without using the slightest bit of magic. These gift allowed me to connect to to the both of them in a deeper manner of love.
*****
We all sat there in silence, holding one another to on end, I opened my eyes and looked at the clock on the wall. It was 9:25, I did actually want to stay with them, but as a Prince… I had my duties. Our closeness to each other made either one of us feel torn apart when I or one of them had to go away, even if it was for a few hours out of the day. I stood, giving them both kisses before I headed out of the room.
'i'll be back soon, I promise I won't be long.'
I soon arrived outside the front entrance of the palace, the chariot was waiting for me. After the marriage I was assigned two royal guards, they soon became my personal bodyguards. Private Shield and Sergeant Bronze, I appoint them as my bodyguards because they were brothers, and they reminded me of my brothers,… oh how I missed them both, I thought. As I walked forward they sharply stood at attention and bowed at my presence.
"At ease," I said firmly.
They relaxed, Private Shield was the first to speak, "Your chariot awaits for you sir, and may I ask what is our destination for today?"
I smiled, "Sorry, but I have no need for chariot today".
They both looked at each other in confusion, "But my Prince, how will you get to where your going?" Sergeant Bronze asked in a concerned manner.
"I will be using my magic to get there, it's not to far for a simple teleportation spell," I smirked and started to walk away, but Private Shield flew in front of me and blocked my path.
"Please my Prince.." he begged ,"We must at least accompany you, we swore an oath to protect you, please Sir."
I sighed, "If you must, you able to accompany me, but be warned: if this is your first experience with magic then you might feel some minor side effects."
Private Shield bowed, "If it mean keeping you safe my Prince, then I shall take the risk."
"Okay then, follow me."
I soon lead Private Shield and Sergeant Bronze to the garden just outside the palace. I stopped in the middle of the garden, and closed my eyes and I soon began to concentrate on my designated destination.
Sergeant Bronze was the first to break the silence, "My Prince, shouldn't we be going then standing in a garden?"
I smiled, "The garden is a silent and peaceful place, it helps me concentrate better."
"I am sorry for my disturbance my Prince," It quickly became silent again, I could hear the peaceful sounds of nature: the water flowing freely from the fountain; the birds in the air, singing there beautiful song of the morning time. Soon enough I could feel my horn begin to glow, now I needed to make sure that I wasn't just teleporting myself but my guards as well.
"Stand close to me", I ordered, trying not to break my concentration. They shuffled to my sides, I felt my horn glow brighter and brighter with every passing moment, and soon enough, I felt a surge of energy flow through me and then…it was gone in a flash. When I finally opened my eyes the room began to spin around, I felt off balance and everything went dark.
Alexander soon fell and hit the ground unconscious, did he really just faint?! The guards that were brought with him soon crowded around him, they looked at one another with panic stricken faces.
"Twilight!!" I shouted, trying to stay calm.
"Yes?" she called back casually.
I wanted to do something, I soon began to move in place not knowing what to do next. I yelled back, trying desperately to keep my cool, but I was failing, "Twilight, you really need to get in here!!" I soon heard movement coming from the down stair study.
She opened the door, "What is it? I was trying to… Ohmygosh, what happen!!" She pushed aside the guards and started to look over him to see what was wrong, she put her hoof gently on his neck and waited in silence. After a few moments a sigh of relief washed over her face. I was still in panic mode, I didn't know what the hell was going on.
"Twilight? Is he going to be fine?" Please say yes, please say yes!
She turned towards me, "He'll be fine but I need you and guards to put him on the couch for me," she turned and walked into the kitchen. I still didn't know what the hell was happening here, but me and the guards soon lifted his body and laid him on the couch. Where was Twilight? Alexanders body jerked forward sending him off the couch, his eyes were still closed, what the fuck is going on?! This started to really freak me out, I turned to the guards, their faces turned pale. Alexander started to mumble something, "no, no, no….. STOP!!….get away,… GET AWAY!!!"
Twilight rushed into the room, "Oh my gosh! It's happening again!"
"W-what is happening?" I asked shakily.
"He can't wake up,… he can't wake up!" she yelled. I soon heard a big THUD come from behind me, I looked, one of the guards had just fainted, but i couldn't tell which one.
Twilight, turned me around, "You have to help me!" she said warily.
"How?" I asked shakily.
She looked franticly around the room, she was trying to look for something, then her face lit up, I swear I could see a light bulb appear over her head.
She whipped around, "Sorry," he whispered and then she turned sharply around...
"OHHH!!!!" I yelled out, "fuckin' aaaaaa!!!….," I grabbed my balls and fell over. They felt like they were going to explode, I soon found it hard to breathe. I tried to move but that only made things worst, the pain was excruciating, all I could do that would result in the least amount of pain possible was turning my head. I looked up, Austin's mouth hung open in amazement while Twilight was jumping around with a smile on her face saying,"It worked! it worked!"
Austin then snapped out shock,"Twilight?" he then looked back at me,"why did you buck him in the balls! I mean… was it really necessary?!"
She then stop jumping around and looked at Austin sympathetically, "Yes, yes it was,.. i'll tell you why later, right now the Prince and I need to talk."
She then used her magic to carry me down stairs to the lower part of the library, and she shut the door behind her. She set me down on the floor gently while she grabbed a book from the highest shelf.
"I'm really sorry that I had to do that," she called back, "but you weren't waking up,..*sigh*.. have you noticed that these so called nightmares are not natural?"
The pain was slowly fading away but it was enough to keep me lying on the ground for awhile,"First," I groaned, "thank you for you deep concern about hitting my private parts. And second I can deal with it in my own way, I have been doing it for so many years… its natural."
"There is nothing natural about suppressing your feelings, emotions, or your problems," I looked up, I could see the worry in her face. I sighed, "Okay, i'll tell somebody and i'll see if I can find help."
A smile brighten her face,"Good! Now, I have found something very interesting,… take a look," she brought the book 'Elements of Harmony', she then used her magic to flip through the pages.
"Okay?" I said in a confused manner, "What have you found? I already know the book from cover-to-cover, there's nothing new."
"See that is were your wrong," she then flipped to page 283,"you see, this used to be the ending page in the book but…," she then kept flipping through the book,"now the book ends at page 310, don't you see?… 27 more pages has been added into the book. And all its about is something about making it possible to bring harmony to….other places it would seem."
"Okay, I would think thats good. So the Elements will bring even more peace to the land of Equestria,.. so whats the problem?"
"You don't seem to understand," now I was starting to get really confused,"these,… so called other places… are… different worlds."
I was shocked at this news, " You mean like how I came from earth to your world?"
"Yes, that is exactly what I mean," she took the book and started to read,"it would seem that the Elements, when coming together for a good cause they can make some sort of… tunnel to another world. I-I am sorry, I am not familiar with this kind of science," she looked up,"could you take me to the Canterlot library? I really got to look this up."
I smiled,"Of course, but this does intrigue me, we should head there at once!"
"Agreed," she said,"I need to gather some of my things, it won't take long."
She headed up the stairs and exited the room, I was able to stand,… kind of. I still felt some pain but I still walked on. As i opened the door, there was an excited Fluttershy waiting for me.
"Yay, your here," she said in a load whisper," I think I found him."
My heart suddenly started to race,"You did? Where is he?"
She stepped to the side, I saw a black pegasus with blue and black hair,"Marvel, I would like you to meet Shadow,… I mean… Jero"
I felt my heart skip a beat, the black pegasus turned around when he heard his name. When he saw me he stopped dead in his tracks. We just stared at one another to what seem like forever, he was the first to speak,"Al- Alexander?" he asked shakily.
"Jero?" I replied. He soon ran up and hugged me tight.
"Alexander, its- its really is you,…I- I can't believe it," I felt tears run down my shoulder, "where were you all this time?"
"Looking for you," I said softly.
"AWWWWW….," I turned to see Twilight and Fluttershy with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes, "this is so sweet," Twilight said.
I soon stopped hugging, "Everyone, this is my little brother Jero, from earth," I smiled, 'It brings me great joy of finding you Jero'.
He took a double take and looked at me,"How did you do that?" he said with worry in his voice. He took some steps back and looked me over, his grew wide with excitement. "Your an Alicorn?!" he asked in amazement.
"Yep!" Twilight replied, "what your looking at is our new Prince, Prince Marvel"
"How?!"
I laughed,"How about I explain everything to you at the palace, would you be interested?"
"Hell yeah I would!" he exclaimed in excitement.
"Okay then," I soon turned around and called out, "Private Shield, Sergeant Bronze, report!"
They rushed over in attention, "Are you okay my Prince?" asked Sergeant Bronze.
"I am fine, I am sorry you two had to endure what you saw. We are about to head back to the palace, might I add that I am bringing along Twilight Sparkle. She is to go to the Canterlot library at once; and i bringing with me my brother, Jero"
"As you request," replied Private Shield.
I then turned to Twilight," Are we ready to go?"
"Yes, I got all my things I need, and here..," she handed me the 'Elements of Harmony' book, "you need to read this, it could come in handy." I grabbed the book with my magic and placed it under my right wing.
"Oh, please don't be long Jero," Fluttershy said in a soft whisper.
"I won't," Jero replied.
"Austin!!" Twilight yelled, "I'm going to the palace, i'll be back soon!!"
"Wait!" Austin called. He soon ran down stairs and faced Twilight,"be back soon, okay?"
She smiled, "I will," they then joined in a deep kiss, I almost didn't want to break it up, but we had work to do.
"Miss Sparkle," called Private Shield.
She soon stopped and headed towards the group, "Sorry,… is this everyone?"
"Yeah, are you sure you can transport all of us?"
"Yes," she replied. She soon closed her eyes and began to concentrate. Her horn glowed and we where soon transported into the palace. We were then greeted by Celestia,"It fills me with great joy to see that your home," we soon kissed deeply, her tongue entered my mouth, and gracefully gilded itself along the inside of my mouth. Her tongue teasing my sense's to no end, I then wanted more but,… I heard a pair of wings…. you know. I slowly disconnected my kiss,"Sergeant Bronze, please take Miss Sparkle to the library, make sure all that all of her needs are met."
"Yes my Prince,… this way Miss Sparkle," soon the sound of hoofs faded down the hall and all was quiet. I turned to see Jero, his mouth was hung open.
"What?" I smirked, "can't I kiss my wife?"
He soon shook his head, trying to forget what he had just seen, I then heard a voice come from behind me,"Yay, your home," I turned around to see a very happy Luna, I greeted her with a deep kiss, I then slowly disconnected, "Luna, Celestiia I would like you to meet my brother Jero, from Earth."
"It is a pleasure to finally meet you," Celestia said. Jero finally snapped back to reality and bowed.
"The tea is ready Tia," Luna said.
"That is great to know," she then looked at me,"would Jero like to join us for tea?" she asked.
"I would love to," Jero said, trying to hide the excitement from his voice.
"Wonderful," Celestia said,"are you going to give a tour to Jero, Marvel?" she asked.
"I am, i'll catch up with you girls soon,"
They both smiled and walked away, they were soon absorbed in there own conversation. I turned to Jero, "uh.. Jero?… would you try to keep your wings down next time." I winked, he looked confused, but then he looked at his sides and saw that his wings were straight up. He face burned bright red as he put his wings down, I laughed and started to show Jero around.
"…and that is what basically happened," I said placing my cup back on the table.
Jero stared in amazement of the story,"So, you were looking for me for 2 months?"
"Yeah, I was," I soon looked down at the table, "I only wish at I found Killjoy,…*sigh*… are you sure you haven't see him around?" I asked.
"No,..I mean,… not since we were on the roof back on earth,"
"Its fine,… I am sorry to bring up old memories," we sat in a few moments of silence, I looked at my watch,"well Jero, its seems that it is time for you to go home,… I am sure that Fluttershy is worried sick about you."
"Yeah,.. thanks for showing me around and everything," he came up and hugged me, I rapped my hoofs around him and hugged him tight. I felt tears hit my shoulder, "Hey,.. there is no need to cry,… we'll find him I promise."
He stopped hugging me,"I'm not crying," he objected, "theres something in my eye, thats all."
"Okay," I chuckled,"so… do you want to ride the chariot?" I asked.
He face lit up with joy, "Hell yeah I would!!"
"Okay," I laughed.
We soon arrived at Fluttershy's cottage,"Man that was an awesome ride, thanks!" he jumped off and knocked on the door. I then heard something fall with a load BANG. Jero rushed in, the door was left unlocked,"Angle! You better get back here!" I heard him yell. I smiled and signaled Private Shield and Sergeant Bronze to take off.
We were half way back to the Castle when something zoomed past me. I quickly turned my head to the direction of the pegasus, it suddenly stopped in mid flight, and looked back right at me. It was male, that much was clear, but as it flew closer I got a better view, he was a light blue pegasus, with red and white hair; he wore a black suit with a vest, and had cuff at the ends of his sleeves. We soon came face-to-face to one another, he did look some what similar. We stared at each other for a long time, to what seemed like hours. He soon spoke, "Alexander?"
I soon nodded, tears started to coat my facd, he drew near and sharply took me into his arms. He was the first to speak,"Where the hell were you,… all. This.Time?"
"Looking for you," I said is a quiet whisper, letting the tears flow freely down my face, "I finally found you… Killjoy."
"It's been too long," he said and looked at me,"I remembered that you were shorter," he laughed.
"Yeah," I chuckled.
I soon arrived back at the palace, it was nighttime when I got there. I told Killjoy that he could come by the palace tomorrow and I would tell him the same story I told Jero, later that day. I climbed in bed next to my two wife's, I was finally happy,… happy that I have found my family that I thought I would never see again. I soon drifted off to sleep, with happy thought of introducing Killyjoy to Celestia and Luna…..
I was in a room of white, there was no walls but there was no where to go. An evil laugh filled the air, it soon turned deathly quiet. I figure appeared before me…, it laughed again. A chill of fear echoed down my spine,… it suddenly spoke,"You..," it hissed, "you will suffer…"
Then bodies started to appear on the floor around me. Pools of blood started to form around my feet,… I took a second look at the bodies. I saw… I saw… I saw Killjoy, pieces of flesh was torn from his body, blood stained his clothes. I looked at the other… I saw Jero, Austin, and other ponies I knew; they were dead…. all of them were DEAD!! I collapsed on my knees,… I put my hands to my face… they were wet all over. I took at second look at them,… my hands were covered in blood, and know my face was. Anger welled up inside me, I charged forward at the being,…. I was soon lifted up by my throat. The being laughed, a blade of some sort came out of its wrist, and it stabbed it in my heart. I coughed up blood, it coated the beings face. It licked it's face with…. its forked tongue; it started to pull its hand out… out of my chest…. with my HEART!! I felt the bones crack, musle was being slowly ripped apart; blood started to gush out of me, it jerked its hand out…. ripping my heart clean out of my chest. With the last once of my strength it soon… bit in to it, it was still pumping, and blood splashed on my face. It opened it mouth and…….
"GAAAA!!", I yelled, i quickly clenched my chest, patting it to make sure that I still had it. Tears and sweat coated my face, I started to calm down. I looked at my sides, I didn't wake them up,… I was glad that I didn't wake them. I looked at my watch, it was 11:00 at night; I knew I wasn't going to go back to sleep anytime soon. I quietly slipped out of bed, trying not to wake them, I soon exited the bed room and I headed towards the library, not knowing what I was going to find…..
