A face you'll never see

 I awoke to a vibration in my pocket. I sit up and casually reach inside of my left pocket to see Night calling me.

                “Hello,” I yawned.

                “Raven, get your sorry ass up now! The royal guard is here looking for you! I think somepony must have tipped them off.” I jump up and run to my room to wake Nyx. I bash the door open to see Nyx still sleeping on my bed. If the guards weren’t here I would just let her sleep. I rush over to her as Ady blinks to life on my arm.

                “What’s going on Ravvy?” I shake Nyx awake while I explain the situation to her and Ady.

                “The royal guard is searching the building for me. We need to leave now!” I pick up a random bag and throw it at Nyx while I run to the closet.

                “Go to the kitchen and pack as much as you can. I’ll pack clothes and whatever else we need,” I ordered Nyx. I turn around as she runs towards the kitchen. I start to shove whatever piece of clothing I could find on the floor as I call for Ady again.

                “What do you need Ravvy?” I continue with my ‘organized packing’ as I tell her what I need.

                “I’m going to put you in the titan prototype. It’s too dangerous to leave unprotected. I want you to stay hidden inside the titan and stay there until I call on you.” I finish packing the bag while Ady nods. I throw the bag onto the bed not caring if it spilled as I ran the wall behind the chest in my closet. I press the hidden button and wait as the door slides open to show a pole going down to the basement. I grab another bag for my gear. I can’t leave a single piece of tech for the ponies. I start to shove prototypes into the bag until I hear Ady shout at me.

                “Ravvy they’re on the third floor and moving fast.” Damn they’re fast. I grab the last piece of tech just as Nyx runs into my room straining to hold her bag. I grab her bag and place it onto the bed while Ady explains the situation to Nyx. I grab the food bag plus the tech bag as I hear footsteps below us. I rush over to pole carrying two of the bags with me while Nyx grabs the last one.

                “Nyx you go first. Just grab the pole and slide down. When you reach the bottom tap the pole twice and then back up. I’ll hold the fort here until you do.” I watch as she nods and starts to descend. I wait there for Nyx to reach the bottom, but someone had other plans. I hear the front door creak from an impact that I guess is the guards. Good thing that door has reinforced steel in it. I smirk as I knew that you need a lot of muscle or magic to break through that door. I decided not to take my chances as I grab the pole hoping Nyx is far enough.

                I close the false door when I hear a small explosion from the front, and a large thud somewhere far off. That must be the door. I start to descend when I feel a small vibration in the pole twice. I smile as I start to pick up speed knowing Nyx was out of the way. I see the floor at the bottom just as Nyx peeks her head in to see if I was coming or not, but when she saw me saw flew back. I land with a large thud, sending dust everywhere. I rush past Nyx heading towards a tall stack of boxes covered with a sheet. I reach the stack while Nyx gives me a questioning look.

                “This isn’t a stack of boxes my dear. This is technology from my world. It’s still not finished, but it is still very dangerous. Behold the XT-16 Titan.” I pull down the sheets to revel a half finished robot. The robot stands at 20 feet tall and has 6in thick titanium plating. On the top there is a little camera that allows the pilot to see when inside. Beside the Titan was a 40mm cannon that can shoot 90 rpm. Standard cannons are semi-automatic, but mine has a three round burst fire. It has a range of 20 to 56m, and one of my favorite enhancements, 40mm explosive rounds. It can also house an A.I, and guess who that is.

                I climb up to the cabin while Nyx stares wide eyed at my creation. I pull a panel off as I take Ady out of my arm.

                “Alright Ady, you ready?” I watch as a single blink comes from the chip. I’ll take that as a yes. I open the A.I port and inject Ady. I watch as some of the lights come on signaling that Ady was in and kicking.

                “Ady, I don’t want you to move unless you have to. This thing is still only half finished, so no joy riding. Last, if anybody comes to close activate the camouflage system. I want you to stay here and wait until I call you, ok?” I watch the titan give a full body nod. I nod to Ady as I climb off heading towards Nyx. I snap my fingers in front of her getting her attention.

                “Can you lift the sheet back over the titan, please?” She nods as the sheets take on a darken hue. As she finishes with the sheet a thud sounds off above us.

                “Sir, I found something!” I grab the bags as I run towards the door with Nyx hot on my heels. I open the door and wave Nyx through just as the first guard lands at the bottom.

                “You! Halt!” I flip him off as I slam the door and run after Nyx down a secret tunnel Boss showed me when I first got here. The tunnels lead to a small cave on the outskirts of the town. I look back to see the guards break down the door and start to chase us again. After about 10 minutes of running I see Nyx start to run out of breath. I glance over my shoulder to see the guards close behind. Knowing that if Nyx started to fall behind she would be caught. Well, this is going to suck.I grab Nyx’s waist and haul her onto my shoulder without losing speed.

                “This is you last warning. If you do not stop we will fire!” I look to Nyx to see her panting from the run.

                “Nyx, can you put a barrier around us until we lose them.” She nods as her horn starts to glow again. Not moments later I hear the leader give the order to fire. Without looking back I will my legs to go faster. I hear buzzing sounds around us as Nyx’s barrier deflects their magic. Soon I see light at the end of the tunnel, and I look back to check on the guards. I see the guards panting and starting to lose speed as they chase us. This is why I love my mentor for training me to almost superhuman limits. I smirk as I try to pick up speed one last time while I pull ahead of the guards. I burst from the tunnel to see a carriage ready to go with Night in the driver’s seat.

                “Come on! We don’t have much time!” I nod to her as I open up the door and practically throw Nyx into the other seat.

                “We’re ready, go!” I grab the side of the carriage as I feel the whiplash. I reach into my pocket and pull out my rifle as I open the back window. I aim my sight to the opening just as the first guard pops out. I pull the trigger as the guard readies his magic. I watch as his chest explodes and coats his fellow guards behind him. I pick of the last of the guards to see reinforcements put up a barrier around their wounded. I smirk as I charge my rifle to put more force behind the impact. As simple shot would have only 600 Newtons, but with a charged rifle it goes up to 1000 Newtons. Even though it doesn’t matter, but my bullets relies more on momentum and velocity rather than force.

                I pull the trigger as I watch my bullet shatter the shield like glass and kill three guards. I suppress the guards until we make it far enough to where they can’t follow us. I sigh as I pack up my rifle and lay down in my seat. I look to Nyx to see her asleep with her head on the door. Man, she looks so cute. I shake my head trying to get rid of the red on my cheeks.

                “Hey Night, where are we going?”

                “We’re heading to my cousins’ place in Ponyville.” My eyes widen at the mention of the town.

                “U-uh, are you sure we should be heading there? I mean I just killed a princess that lived there.” I wait for awhile for Night to respond.

                “As far as I know there is nowhere else we can go, so suck it up.” I groan as I wait for my doom.

3 days later

                “How much farther?”

                “We’re here now keep quite. There are guards everywhere.” I lock my lips up as we make our way to wherever we’re going. After awhile the carriage pulls to stop as I peek out of the window. I look around to see if anything has stopped us, but I was stopped when Night opened the door.

                “Come on quickly, so nopony will see you.” I nudge Nyx to try and wake her. She moves a little but still manages to stay asleep. I sigh as I lift all of the bags and strap them to my back. I move my arms under Nyx’s head and knees and lift her to my chest. I could only watch when Nyx snuggled up into my chest as she let out a content sigh. I shake my head as I follow Night into the building, but not before I could look at the sign. ‘Aloe & Lotus Day Time Spa’. As we enter we are greeted by female twins. The twin on the right had a pale rose coat with a cerulean mane and tail. The twin on the left looked the opposite of the other with cerulean coat and a pale rose mane.

                “Hello Night. It’s good to see you again. How is aunt Love?” Night shakes her head as walks up to the twins.

                “Aloe, Lotus it’s so good to see you!” I watch as Night wrapped her arms around the twins and give them a bear hug. I laugh as the twins’ faces turn blue and pink. Night sets them down while I calm myself down.

                “Oh, what’s this? Did Night bring home a stallion?” I watch Nights face little up like a roman candle while the twins give me a seductive look. I ignore them and look down to Nyx to see her still asleep. Wow, that run must have taken a lot out of her. Once the spa twins see what I’m looking at their look goes from lust to disappointment.

                “Well ladies, as much as I enjoy your company I want to put Nyx down on a bed.” I watch as the twins blush while they start to walk towards another room.

                “We are so sorry! We have been terrible host. Please come with us, we will show to the guest rooms.” I follow then until a scream comes from the other side of the room. Before anybody could react I feel static in the air and throw Nyx up into the air as a magic beam impales itself where my head once was. I whip around arming my wristbow when I see the one of the women that chased me down the last time I was here. Oh…..Shit….. I catch Nyx as she falls to the ground to see the purple haired woman fire up her magic again.

                “Lady Rarity, what is the meaning of this?! You will not assault a friend of our cousin and in our own shop no less.” I watch as the twins start to push the woman out, but am stopped when the woman started to speak what was on her mind.

                “You heathen I’ll kill you for what you have done. You will rue the day you killed Twilight Sparkle!” I watch as the twins look back at me in fear. I give Nyx to Night as I walk towards the group of women. I watch as the twins part ways and hide behind the furious woman who was trying to kill me with her eyes.

                “Do you want to know why I killed her?” Rarity nods as I sigh.

                “I killed her for money.” Rarity’s eyes widen with surprise and anger. I nod to her as I turn around, but I felt a tug on my hood. I turn around to see Rarity’s horn take on a dark purple color.

                “Let’s see what you look like under that hood.” My eyes widen as I feel my hood being pulled off.  After my hood falls off I see the twins empty their stomachs while Rarity look green in the face.

Rarity’s P.O.V

Dear Celestia! What kind of monster is he? His face is the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen. I steel myself so I don’t throw up. I hear the monster say something but I was to fixed on his face until he pulled his hood up.

Raven’s P.O.V

                “Night, I want you to go to the guest room and lock the door and don’t come out until I say so. I won’t hurt them….physically.” The twins shudder as I hear Night walk away. I pull my hood back up as I head to what I guess is the kitchen. I look over my shoulder to see the three women still there shaking like wet dogs.

                “Ladies?” All of them snap to face me with fear in their eyes.

                “Would you please join me for a glass of tea?” I wait for the women to walk to the kitchen only to see them fly by me. I smirk as I walk into the kitchen shutting the door behind me.
