Maximum Equestria
Rude Awakening
Previous ChapterI don't know how long I was out for, but what I did know was that I was pissed! When I woke up heads were going to roll and once I found the fuck that knocked me out not even their fucking families will be able to identify the body!
Turns out that time was now as I felt my body start to wake itself up. Being impatient as I am I force my eyes to open and what met my vision was four grey stone ceiling. I was on some table in the middle of the room. When I tried to get up to get a better look at my surroundings but the tugging on my limbs alerted me that I was strapped down.
"Oh fuck no they didn't," I growled to myself as I shifted to my pseudo eraser form. The size change alone was enough to break the restraints.
Standing from the table I could now get a good look at my surroundings. Four grey stone walls within a twenty square foot room. In front of me was a metal door that would make me have to crouch a little bit if I wanted to get through.
Tuning my ears I could hear shouting outside the door. Probably whoever put me here knew I was awake. Well too bad I wasn't going to wait around for them. I'm a hunter not prey. I go to them not the other way around.
Donning a wolfish smile I go full on eraser and rush the door. My wait plus my strength and momentum easily sent the door flying off it's hinges.
Outside were two golden armored ponies pointing spears at me. They looked ready to piss themselves so I let loose a blood curdling howl and in response they dropped their spears and took off running.
Scoffing at their cowardly actions I make my way out of what I assume is the dungeon. Turns out this places jailhouse was smaller than I had expected it to be. Either they don't have many crimes or the use the death penalty a lot. If I had to guess it was the former. These ponies don't have the balls.
My wanderings eventually lead me to a wooden door. Surprisingly enough it was unlocked. What was on the other side was an even bigger surprise though. Standing in a semi-circle was about thirty guards brandishing spears and swords. Guess that's why those other two ran off, strength in numbers. Pretty smart for a pair of cowards.
One of the guards then spoke up, "stand down beast and we won't harm you."
Really? They wouldn't harm ME? Didn't Zecora tell them all about me yet?
Then what I just thought struck me. Zecora. Where was she? Was she safe? Did she get in trouble for helping me? I had to know!
Glaring at the guards I growl out, "where is Zecora?'
They all looked confused but the one who talked to me before asked, "uhh who?"
Their stupidity was really getting on my nerves, "The zebra that was with me you jackass!"
All of the guards jumped back at my sudden outburst but quickly steadied themselves while the lead guard said, "she is with the princesses. Not that its any of your business. Now go back to your cell before you make us use force."
I knew who the princesses were by name but I didn't trust them. Especially around Zecora without me there. Wait a second why was I stressing over Zecora? Maybe it was because I felt I owed her for helping me. Yeah that must be it.
Looking over the guards I growl out, "either you get out of my way or things are going to get ugly."
Their stances didn't change so shrugging my shoulder's I say, "so be it. You brought this on yourselves."
Before they could ask what I meant I leaped at them with my claws and fangs bared and a roar escaping my lips. They barely put up a fight as I tore through their ranks. Still they managed to get a few hits on me but that only made me angry, and the one thing you do not want to do is piss off an eraser. It's like messing with the incredible Hulk. It's just something you don't do unless you have a death wish.
Within minutes it was all over. Thankfully for the guards I didn't kill any of them. At most some of them had a few gashes and broken bones. They would live though some of them would have a few scar's.
I didn't care about them though as I ran through the white marble halls trying to find the throne room of this place. I figured since they were royalty they would be in the throne room.
Along the way I encountered three more groups of guards but easily dispatched them. I had multiple cuts and bruises but the adrenaline running through me made the pain non-existent. But just as I turned another corner I was struck by a purple blast that sent me into a wall.
Looking at where it came from I saw a purple unicorn with a purple aura around her horn and I realized, this was the one who knocked me out. Rage consumed me as I started to see red and get tunnel vision. This bitch was history!
With a roar I charged at her as she sent multiple spells at me. Empowered by my rage my reflexes skyrocketed as I dodged each blast all the while closing the distance. I saw fear grow on her face and it only made my bloodlust grow. Finally I reached her and wrapped one of my claws around her throat. Lifting her in the air so she could look me in the eyes.
Before I could do anything else though I was hit by another blast of magic, this one white. It had more power than the purple ones blast and sent me flying back a bit further. I still didn't release my grip on the mare though so she went flying with me.
When I got up I held the mare in front of me in case another blast was sent my way. In front of me was a giant white pony with wings and a horn about as tall as me when I am human but only up to my chin as an eraser. On her flank was a sun and she wore gold regalia. Next to her was a slightly smaller blue with a moon on her flank and black regalia. one along with a five other who I figured were the Element's of Harmony that Zecora mentioned.
We stared each-other down for a second before from behind the group ran out the very zebra I was searching for.
"Brad please let Twilight go!"
"Why should I? This bitch is the reason why I woke up in a dungeon! She struck first not me!"
"It was all a mistake Brad just please let her go."
She was on the verge of tears and it made my heart ache. Damn what the hell is wrong with me!? As I was still contemplating this Zecora had moved up to my side and was nuzzling my free hand. It was this last act that made me calm down enough to release the mare in my grasp.
By release I mean just drop on her flank. She scrabbled back to the group as they gazed at me cautiously.
Zecora grabbed my sleeve and began to lead me to the group while saying, "they just want to talk with you Brad so there is no need to worry."
Sighing to her I still didn't release my eraser form in the case they tried to pull a fast one. Looking down at Zecora I say warningly, "alright Z I'll go along with this for now but at the first sign of trouble shit's going to hit the fan. Agreed?"
She nodded in agreement just as we reached the others. We stared at each-other awkwardly for a moment before I decided to break the silence, "soooo what now sunbutt."
My little nickname made her cheeks flame up in what I assumed was anger and made me involuntarily grin. Oh yeah messing with royalty is awesome.
With a huff the recently named sunnbutt teleported us to what looked like the throne room. Took me long enough to get here.
"Well first you are going to answer some questions. And my name is not 'sunbutt' it's Celestia. Princess Celestia."
"I know what your name is. I just didn't want to say it. In fact I know everyone here's names thanks to Zecora. And as for the questions I'll answer what I think you need to know nothing else."
She didn't seem too pleased with that but what do I care? Her little pet put me into a coma so I have very little respect for her or her little posse.
"First off what are you?"
"I'm a mutant. That means I'm a mixture of different samples of DNA. Mine is made up of human, wolf, and avian. If I wasn't a mutant I would be a hundred percent human but that's what you get when your made by mad scientist."
They looked shocked at this and.. sad? Why would they care how I was made its not like its their problem I was made to be a killing machine.
"How could your kind do that to another," asked the blue pony, Luna I think, sadly.
I shrugged nonchalantly and answered in a non caring tone, "they say it's to help the human race evolve. But in my opinion I think they are just a bunch of egotistical fucks with a shit ton of money and influence trying to play god. I couldn't say that out right to them before but now that I'm here it doesn't really matter."
"Wait you said you had avian dna as well. What did you get from that," asked the purple pest known as Twilight. Yeah I still haven't forgiven her and probably won't for a long time.
"Well barney what I got were these bad boys. And yes they do really work."
I then spread my impressive wingspan out for all to see thankful that my outfit had slits in the back for just such an occasion.
They were all silent for a while mulling over what I had told them and the sight of my wings while I was thinking on when I should go hunting next and what I should hunt for. I wonder if there's any birds I could use to make some fried chicken.
"Ok moving on, what do you eat."
Speak of the devil, "well humans are omnivores by nature but with my mixed dna I am more prone to meat than most. And before you all flip shit I will not eat ponies. Just the other day I hunted and ate a manticore. I only hunt other predators so don't worry yourselves."
That seemed to calm them all down a bit save for the shy one called Fluttershy. I think she actually wet herself.
"Now for my final question. Do you plan on harming my subjects."
This last question was spoken with a suspicious gaze and a slight tone of warning.
I returned her gaze with a glare of my own and said in a challenging tone, "only if hey plan to harm me. Even though I was designed to be a killer that doesn't make me a murderer. Let me warn you right now that if I do hurt and/or kill any of your subject it is because they provoked it. Keep that in mind if it ever comes up again. Now if you don't mind I want to head back to Zecora's home for some rest. Oh and Twilight. If you try anything again I will not hesitate to end you."
She paled at that and quickly shook her head in conformation. Feeling reassured that my threat had been made clear I turn to leave with Zecora. Before I could go however Celestia called to me. Turning back I couldn't help but notice her smug smile and that made me suspicious.
"As punishment for hurting my guards and so you can fit in better in Ponyville I want you to make friends in Ponyville so you can experience the magic of friendship and put your past behind you."
I gave her a deadpanned glance for a good minute before saying I a deadpanned tone, "magic of friendship my hairy ass."
