My Little Revengeance
Canterlot
Previous ChapterNext ChapterRaiden POV:
Remember when I said that Celestia warmed up to me? Well now I'm doubting that, at first I thought she was a nice and caring princess but I was wrong, when she lifted me up with that magic I could feel my body getting crushed, luckily for me my body is not like that of a normal human, nope I'm almost one hundred percent cyborg, the only body parts that are still my own and not artificial are: my spine, skull and upper jaw, the rest are all artificial body parts.
Well the flight to Canterlot was......Different to say at least, instead of being in a plane or in a fighter jet, I found myself in a chariot, the chariot was a decent size, but I nearly fitted in this damn thing, two pegasi pulled the chariot. I was impressed to say the least, I mean sure the other two chariots were being pulled by two pegasi as well but in those there were just the six other ponies, but in mine there was Celestia who was taller than any of these ponies and myself, I wondered how those two were able to even lift this thing off the ground.
But enough of that, while I was in the chariot Celestia told me a few things about the other six ponies, they were apparently known as the Elements of Harmony, Pinkie Pie being the element of Laughter, Fluttershy being the element of Kindness, Applejack being the element of Honesty, Rainbow Dash being the element of Loyalty, Rarity being the element of Generosity and finally Twilight the element of Magic.
She also told me that they defeated Nightmare Moon who was apparently Luna's dark-side, they alto defeated someone named Discord and they defeated a certain Queen of the changelings, whatever a changeling is supposed to be.
I also explained to her that I was not a normal human being but a cyborg, at first she had no idea what a cyborg was but after I explained that cyborg was like a human but more powerful and where mostly used for war she asked me, "Why would you choose to live like a cyborg if you are only used for war, how can you live such a life?", I simply replied with "I didn't choose this life".
She looked at me with a confused expression before she said something that I would never had expected (considering our latest conversation).
"So you where forced? Why?" Celestia asked.
"Listen princess there are some parts of my past that I would like to forget, so please I would appreciate if we could drop this subject." I replied while looked at the sky, I have to say this land is pretty beautiful it's, peaceful much different than Earth, speaking of Earth, what happened when I fell through that portal? I can only hope that Armstrong didn't become president or else the world we know will be going to shit.
"Raiden are you thinking off your home?" Celestia asked.
Well yes you see a lot off bad shit happened back on Earth and I sure hope that me being here in Equestria the world won't go to shit. I said.
She looked at me with a concerned expression.
"What exactly happened on your world and to be precise what happened to you?" Celestia asked.
I decided that I would explain a little bit about myself, so the only thing I told her that I became a cyborg because of the *Patriots machinations*, of course Celestia didn't know what the Patriots were, after explaining the whole complicated story of the Patriots and explaining her about The Ai's GW,JD etc and what Ai's where and what they did during my war against the Patriots, she was shocked to say the least.
"So much war and death, how can you live in a world like that, how can you live knowing you took someponies life, why would you make those Ai's if they where only used to hurt others?" Celestia asked.
"Listen I told you everything I wanted to tell so please stop asking questions about my past, all I can say to you that I was fighting a senator who wanted to elected as president so he could start war as a business and end it like a business." I replied.
"Are all Humans the same, do they only care to hurt each other and bring each other pain and misery?" Celestia asked.
"While there are bad there are also good, it's true that Humans fight and kill each other, but the good people on my world only fight and kill to protect their home, country and the ones they love." I replied.
"Ok if you say so, but what are you?" Celestia asked.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I mean are you good or are you bad?" Celestia asked.
"I fight protect the weak and if I have to kill to do so.....So be it." I replied.
"That is good to hear Raiden, I was wrong about you, you are good pon- erm Human I am truly sorry for what I did to you before, but you must understand I only did it because I wanted to protect my subjects, you see Raiden I am immortal and I am over five thousand years old, I have seen many of my subjects grow up and eventually......Die." She said while tears started to form in her eyes.
I could see this was making her sad, I didn't know what to do, so after a few more seconds I just did what I thought was right, I put my arm around her and patted her on her back.
"Hey you don't have to talk about this we can just drop this subject and talk about something else." I said in a comforting matter.
She looked at my arm and than at me, I thought she was going to blast me with magic, but instead she gave me a warm smile.
"Thank you Raiden sometimes I can get a little emotional from time to time." She replied while wiping away her tears.
"Don't mention it and don't worry being immortal does mean that you will live forever and see things that others cannot and unfortunately you will see others die while you will live on.
But it also means that you get to see all of your subjects grow up and see them live their life and hey if your immortal that means that your sister is immortal as well right? So that means you are never alone." I said.
I think that did the trick, Celestia seemed to cheer up and gave me a warm smile and a warm "Thank you Raiden that was really sweet of you".
I simply waved at her and said " Don't mention it Celestia, everyone needs to let their emotions out from time to time".
She smiled and nodded in response.
"Canterlot ho!" One of the guards shouted.
I looked away from Celestia and what I saw could not be described with words, the only ting I could say was "Beautiful".
Celestia giggled at my reaction.
"I assume you like the view?" She asked.
"Well I have to say princess I never thought it would be this big." I replied.
"Don't they have castles on your world?" Celestia asked.
"Well yes we do but none of them are like that." I said while pointing at the castle.
"Wow it seems that our worlds have at least two things in common." Celestia said.
Two? I asked.
Yes castles and..........War.
"You mean you are in a war as well?" I asked.
"Well yes we have had some wars, but that was a long time ago." Celestia replied.
"Ok, wow I never expected that, I mean this world looks so peaceful at least from what I've seen." I replied.
"Yes but unfortunately there are some ponies who think different, but how about your world, how many wars has your world have?" Celestia asked.
"Too many." I replied
"Oh my.......And in how many wars have you fought in." Celestia asked.
"Too many." I replied.
There was a silence until Celestia spoke up.
"Well Raiden let's forget about the whole war talk and talk about something else shall we?" Celestia said.
"Sure go ahead." I replied.
"Well than Raiden do you have a family on Earth?" Celestia asked.
"Damnit, why god why! I don't want to talk about this subject I don't want to talk about Rose and Little..........John." I thought while looking at the sky.
"Raiden hello are you alright?" Celestia asked.
"Wha-What? Oh yeah I'm fine, what was the question again?" I asked.
"Do you have a family on Earth?" Celestia asked for the second time.
"Should I tell her?" I thought.
"Celestia......Promise me you keep this to yourself ok?" I said.
"Yes off course Raiden." She replied.
"I had a family, a beautiful wife and a wonderful son." I replied.
" Well that's wonderful but had? What do you mean by that?" She asked.
"War has its costs......It caused me my son.......And eventually........My wife." I replied with a saddened tone.
"I-I-I-I'm so sorry to hear that.........You must have had it hard." She replied with a saddened tone.
"Lady you don't even know the half of it, if you only knew what happened in my past......But I'm not telling you that......Not until I can trust you with that kind of information." I thought.
"Raiden.....Know that if you ever need to talk to somepony, you can talk to me." Celestia said with a smile.
"Thanks but I already talked with someone about it." I replied.
"Really, if I may ask who?" Celestia asked.
"The one and only Solid Snake!" I replied.
"Who?" She asked.
"Ehm sorry, a really good friend he's a hero on my planet, but he doesn't see himself as one, he always says that he was just a old killer hired to clean up the wet work." I replied.
"Oh but if he is a hero as you say he is, than he must have quite the life." She replied.
"No he hasn't, he had a hard life......Harder than mine, the only thing he knew was war, he lived his entire life fighting he could never get away from it." I said.
I looked at Celestia and I could see that my story was making her sad again.
"You said that he had a hard life, with had do you mean he's....."
I quickly cut her off.
"No, he's not dead he's just.......Retired." I said.
"Snake.....What you told me........About the graveyard, that Big Boss came to you and he made......Peace with you....... He died by your side.......Your father.......You had a hard life Snake, but remember that people will respect you for what you did, when Foxdie didn't kill you and your accelerated aging still continuing you still inspired me and others to live their Life.............Snake.........Thank you."I thought.
"Raiden are you alright?" Celestia asked.
"Yeah......I'm fine." I replied.
"No you are not fine, I can see it in your eyes, whoever Snake was he was a great influence on your life, you said he was retired so why don't you visit him when you get back to your wo-." Celestia said but didn't finish her sentence.
"Yes, go on." I said.
"Raiden remember what I told you in the hospital, about returning to your world." Celestia said.
"Yes, why?" I asked.
"Well I'm not sure if you are going to be able to return to your world." Celestia replied.
"What!?" I shouted.
"Raiden like I said before it is a mystery to me as well as to how you arrived here." Celestia said.
"So what! I'm not just going to accept the fact that I'm not going to be able to return to Earth, we can at least try to solve this mystery." I replied.
"*Sigh* Raiden I will do everything in my power to help you return to your world, but I cannot promise you that we will be able to get you back to your world, do you understand?" Celestia asked
"Yes I do, at least than I know we at least tried." I replied.
"Good but for now just try and relax, once our conversation is over you will get some time for yourself to do whatever you want, does that sound good for you?" Celestia asked.
"Yeah I guess, but I'll need to get some time alone as well and I wish not to be disturbed." I replied.
"Understood now please sit down, I believe we are going to land." Celestia said.
"Whatever you say princess." I replied.
As soon as I sat down we started to slow down and started to land, the landing went smooth, after that everyone stepped outside of their chariot and started walking towards us.
"Hello Twilight Sparkle was your flight comfortable?" Celestia asked.
"Yes princess it was, how was your flight Raiden?" Twilight asked.
"It was good but slow." I replied.
"Slow what do you mean by that?" Twilight asked.
"Well the flights I'm used to are usually very fast." I replied.
"What do you mean, you don't have any wings, how can you fly without them." Asked a very confused Twilight,.
"Well we Humans can't naturally fly, so we made machines who did all the flying for us, we call them Airplanes." I replied.
"Wow so you build machines that can fly, wow I wonder what you Humans made more oh I just can't wait untill we arrive in the castle and I get to ask you questions about your race!" Twilight said with much enthusiasm.
"Yeah right, well id be happy to tell you all about it.......Twi." I said that last part with a smirk.
Twilight blushed or so it looked like it when I called her by the little nickname I gave her.
"Y-Yeah, hehe sorry about that, sometimes I can get a little carried away." Twilight said.
"That's alright Twilight, I mean it's not everyday you get to meet a alien." I replied.
"Well Twilight you can get carried away over a lot off things." Rainbow Dash said.
"Ah come on give tha girl a rest will ya, don't tell me that you're not a little exited about hearin Raiden’s story. "Applejack intertwined.
"Oh come on girls let's get inside so we can get this all over with, because I still have to throw Raiden his welcome to Equestria party!" Pinkie said.
"Pinkie weren't you going to give him a welcome to Ponyville party?" Rarity asked.
"Oh yeah I almost forgot about that, you know what I'll just throw him two parties yay!" Pinkie said with much enthusiasm.
"She's just kidding.......Right?" I whispered to Rainbow Dash who stood beside me, I almost forgot to bend down to ask her, I was taller than any of these ponies, the normal ponies like Twilight and Rainbow Dash came up to my abdomen while princess Celestia was almost as tall as me not counting her horn off course.
"Trust me Raiden when Pinkie says she gonna throw you a party, she's gonna throw you a party whether you like it or not. "Rainbow Dash replied.
"Well everypony let us not wait any longer, please gather around me."Celestia said.
Everyone did as they where told and gathered around me and the princess.
"Alright everpony get ready." Celestia said.
"Ready for what?" I asked.
"You'll see." Celestia said.
After she said that, her horn started to glow and all of a sudden everything went black for a few seconds, suddenly we were not in front of Canterlot, no we were in some kind of big throne room, the room was very bright and at the end of the room where two thrones, one was big and it had a symbol of the sun, the other was smaller and had a crescent moon on it.
"What just happened? And why do I feel like my stomach has been turned inside out." I asked.
"Well if you’re not used to teleportation than the after effects can kick in, one of them feeling like you're going to throw up. "Twilight said.
You aren't going to throw up are you?" Asked Rarity.
"No no I've been through worse, but princess-"
"Celestia." Celestia said while she cut me off.
"Right Celestia if I may ask why didn't you use teleportation in the first place, that would have saved us a lot of time." I said.
"Yes I could have done that, but then you wouldn't see the beauty off Equestria." Celestia replied.
Right, well I guess we better start the questioning right." I asked.
"Yes but before that I need you to do something for me Raiden." Said Celestia.
"What?" I asked.
"I need you to go and talk to Luna she is really scared of you you know, ever since she entered your dreams she is really shaken up, just go and talk to her please."Celestia said, but this time she talked to me but I was the only one who seemed to hear her, "What the hell?" I thought.
What was I supposed to do just think my answer?
Ah to hell with it, "Alright Celestia I'll talk to her but I think that it's not the best idea if she's really that scared of me than shouldn't I wait until she wants to talk to me?" I asked.
"Please Raiden I know it sounds crazy but please Luna wouldn't even talk to me but I think that if you just say you’re sorry and tell her that you won't hurt her than maybe I'll get her to talk about what happened, so please just talk to her." Celestia said, or thought in this case.
"Alright than I'll do it, but don't expect any good results, but how am I supposed to get to her I mean I can’t just go and say I'm gonna talk to your princess because I somehow scared the shit out of her. You know what? I'll just tell everyone that I need to go to the toilet or something." I replied. ?Mockingly.
"I think that will do it just try and make the talk as quickly as possible, thank you Raiden this means a lot." She replied.
"Damn this is some weird shit, I mean the mind-talks and that just fucking weird." I thought.
"You know I can still hear you right?" Celestia said.
I simply looked at her and she gave me a playful look.
"Ehm excuse me for asking but could I use your toilet please?" I asked.
"Sure Raiden, one of my guards will escort you." Celestia replied.
"Don't worry Raiden, this guard knows of my intentions I already told him to take you to Luna's room." Celestia replied by using her telekinesis magic......Yeah I'm calling it telekinesis magic so what?
"Alright I'll try my best, but I can't make any promises alright." I replied
Celestia simply nodded in response and called her guard.
After that, the guard and me walked towards the exit of the throne room and then walked to Luna's room.
"How the hell am I supposed to talk to Luna about what happened if I don't even know what happened." I thought.
After a few more minutes of walking and no talking we arrived at Luna's room.
The guard turned and looked at me.
"We have arrived at her majesty's chambers, I will be waiting outside if you need something, but try anything funny creature and I shall not hesitate to take action." The guard said.
"Yeah yeah, I get it let's just get this over with." I replied.
The guard nodded and stood at his place.
I opened the door and went inside.
I closed the door afterwards and I took a look around the room, the room was dark and there wash a giant bed in the middle, from what I could see the walls where painted dark blue, I was quite amazed as to how big this room was.
"Well now I only need to find Luna." I thought
I suddenly heard some light snoring and mumbling, I looked towards the noise was coming and I saw Luna sleeping in her bed.
"Well shit, now how am I going to get to talk to her when she's fast asleep?" I thought.
I thought of what would happen if just woke her up, but my thinking was unnecessary, I suddenly heard Luna scream and she awoke, sweat covering her forehead.
"Ahh it was just a dream." She said.
"Ehm hey Luna......Surprise?" I said.
Meanwhile attention a unknown location.............
"Well at first I didn't quite believe you senator, but after hearing your story I think we might be able to help each other." Chrysalis said.
"I hope for your sake that you can help me return to my world and in return I'll help you with your fucking pony problem." Armstrong said.
"Excellent well than let us begin to think of a strategy." Chrysalis replied.
"Whatever you say you almighty queen." Armstrong replied mockingly.
