My Little Revengeance

It was a sunny day in Canterlot, Celestia's sun shined brightly over the beautiful city.

An alien creature had arrived in Equestria, this creature was Raiden and right now Raiden was fast asleep, laying in his bed drifting away to the land of dreams.

Inside the throne room, two Princesses were discussing a very important topic.....

"We still think it would be for the best to let sir Raiden to stay with us in the castle." Luna said to her sister.

"Why do you keep insisting that he should stay here?" Celestia asked.

"We are not saying that he has to stay, but think how the ponies of Ponyville would react to him." Luna replied.

"We simply cannot keep him a secret forever Lulu, we have to tell our subjects about our little alien." Celestia said while taking a sip from her tea.

"But sister, what if Raiden doesn't want to leave?" Luna asked.

"Then I see no objection to let him stay here in the castle." Celestia replied.

"We shall ask sir Raiden for his aswer immediately!" Luna said while her horn started to glow.

"Lulu wait!" Celestia shouted.

"What is it sister?" Luna asked.

"It is still early in the morning, I don't think Raiden is awake yet." Celestia replied.

"We are sure Raiden is fully awake!" Luna said.

"How do you know?" Celestia asked confused.

"We might have ordered two guards to wake him up." Luna replied sheepishly.

"Lulu what have I told you about waking up our guests when they are still asleep?" Celestia asked.

"You told us that we should wake until they are fully awake." Luna replied.

"And is Raiden fully awake?" Celestia asked.

He is now. Luna replied.

"Oh Lulu y-."

Celestia was cut of by a familiar voice coming from the door.

"Princess, the guards told me you wanted to speak to me?" The voice asked.

"Yes Raiden, please enter." Celestia replied.

With that said the door opened and revealed a very sleepy Raiden standing in the doorway.

"Not that I didn't like our conversation yesterday, but could this not have waited just a little longer, like an hour or two." Raiden said while wiping away the sleep from his eyes.

"I'm sorry Raiden but it appears that my sister insisted talking to you before she goes to sleep." Celestia replied.

"Oh alright. What do you need to know Luna?" Raiden asked.

Well We were thinking that you might want to stay in the castle until we find a way for you to return to your world. Luna said.

"Ehm I eh I appreciate the offer but I kinda promised Twilight that I would come with her to Ponyville." Raiden replied.

"What!? When did Twilight ask thee that sir Raiden!?" Lune asked while using the Royal Canterlot voice.

"Well.........."

Last night, 2 hours after the realm of memories........

Raidens POV,

"Snake I wish I could tell you how much you have done for me, how much you have done for everyone, you see yourself as an old killer, but know that…….You are living your life, not as a Snake but as a man. " I said.

I looked up at the sealing and started thinking about what happened in the last few days.

Well I'm trapped in an alien world were almost all of its inhabitants are ponies, I have no clue as to how I am going to be able to return to Earth, I have my sword back (thank god) and I've befriended the rulers of this planet.

So you could say it isn't all that bad, but I still have to get home as quickly as possible.

*Knock* *Knock*

"What?" Who knocks on a door this late? Well I'm not going to get any sleep anyway so I might as well answer it.

I walked over towards the door and opened it, I was surprised to see Twilight standing in the door opening.

"Hey Twilight." Do you need something? I asked.

'Is she wearing pajamas?' I thought while looking at her. She had this hat on that kind of looked like a Santa Claus hat, and she was wearing what appeared to be light blue pajamas.

"Well actually yes I do, do you mind if I come in?" Twilight asked.

"Ehm I guess not." I said while gesturing for her to come in.

Twilight walked inside my room, she began pacing around and started humming, as if she wanted to say something.

"Twilight this is just a guess but, are you perhaps here to ask more questions?" I asked.

Twilight looked at me, an awkward smile planted on her face.

"Ehm well uhm.....Yes." Twilight said while looking down at ground.

"I just couldn't sleep because of all the things I still want to ask you, like your world, all the technology and many other things.......But I'm guessing you want to get some sleep so I'll just leave." Twilight said disappointed while walking towards the door.

"Wait Twilight!" I said.

She stopped in her tracks and looked at me with a confused expression.

"Yes what is it?" She asked confused.

"Listen I can't really sleep right now,  so I wouldn't mind a little company." I replied with a smile.

"Really!?" She asked with a hint of enthusiasm.

"Yes Twilight really." I replied.

"Oh thankyouthankyou!" She said while jumping up and down.

"Alright alright heheheh." I replied while chuckling at her childly behavior.

She really reminds me of Little John.......If I only was there when it happened.

I looked at Twilight, she was still jumping and it appeared she had already teleported a paper and quill.

"Alright Twilight make yourself at home." I said while sitting down on the (not so comfortable) bed.

Twilight made her way over to the bed and sat down beside me.

"Alright first question. Where you always a cyborg?" She asked.

"No, at first I was just a normal Human being but eventually I became a cyborg." I replied.

"Why did you choose to become a cyborg?" Twilight asked while scribbling something on the paper.

"Well I didn't choose to be a cyborg I was forced." I replied.

"Why would somepony force you if you clearly didn't want to become a cyborg?" She asked.

"Twilight I have told Princess Celestia the same thing that I'm about to tell you, but she promised to keep it to herself and not tell anybody about it. So what I'm asking is, can you assure me that you will keep this to yourself." I said.

"Of course I'll even Pinkie promise it!" She replied

"Pinkie what now?" I asked confused.

"Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye. Twilight said while flapping her wings and pretending to stick something in her eye." She said.

"Uhm I take it that that is a yes?" I asked.

"Yep." She replied.

"Alright this is what happened." I said.

And with that I started telling her everything, The Big Shell indicted, I told her about Snake (who she became surprisingly interested in for some reason), my mission to rescue Sunny from The Patriots (leaving out the part about me becoming an alcoholic) and how I got captured and turned in to a cyborg.

Twilight was writing furiously, she had already broken 2 quills and had used up a lot of paper and ink.

I feel sorry for the trees on this planet. I thought while looking toward Twilight.

I also told her about the time when I teamed up with Snake and fought alongside him to stop The Patriots from total world control and how we fought against Snakes twin brother Liquid, after explaining who Liquid was and what he had done, Twilight told me he reminded her of Discord before his reformation.

So after a lot of words and 2 more broken quills my story came at an end.

"And that's basically my life in a nutshell." I said while standing up and stretching my arms.

"Wow that's a lot to take in, and to think you had to cut off your own.....arm was it?" She asked.

"Yes, I had to do a lot of crazy things in my life." I replied.

"And that Liquid *shivers* just the thought makes my body tens up. To think that he was Snake's brother, I mean from what you've told me, Snake sounds like a good.....ehm person?" She asked.

"Yes he was a good man, he has been through a lot, but he always fought to protect the ones he loved and to protect the world from evil men like Liquid and Solidus." I replied.

"Yeah, but for some odd reason you haven't talked about Solidus as much as you talked about Liquid." She said.

"Well it's just that.........-" I trailed off.

I got a flashback about my time as a child soldier, how I was trained to kill at an age of five and how I got my nickname, I could still hear the screams of all those people who died by my own hands.

"Raiden are you alright?" Twilight asked.

"Huh? Uhm yeah yeah I'm fine." I replied while trying to forget the images from my past.

"Are you sure *yawn* Raiden?" asked a sleepy Twilight Sparkle.

"Yeah I'm fine, but you are very tired aren't you?" I asked.

"Well we have been talking for 2 hours or more so yeah I'm kind of tired, I think I'm going to go back to my room and try to get some sleep." Twilight replied while jumping of the bed, only to fall face first on the floor.

"From all the sitting; her legs must have gone tired." I thought while getting of the bed.

"Owwwwww." Twilight said while rubbing her muzzle with her hoof.

"Are you alright?" I asked while bending down to take a look at her muzzle. I gently put one hand under her muzzle while lifting it up to meet her face to face.

"It seems to be alright, it'll probably become a bruise later but nothing serious." I said while letting go of her muzzle.

"Thanks." She mumbled.

"Twilight just before you go back to your room, could I ask you something?" I asked.

"Sure." She replied.

"How did you managed to get to my room without being noticed by any of the guards?" I asked.

I" simply teleported to your room." She replied.

"Ok I guess that's how the guards didn't notice you, but wait!" I said while pointing at the door "aren't there two guards guarding my room." I said.

"I might have asked Princess Luna to dismiss the two guards that were guarding your room." Twilight said while rubbing the back of her head awkwardly.

"And Luna just agreed to that?" I asked.

"Well yes and there is the fact that she wants to talk to you as well when I was finished." Twilight replied.

"So I'm guessing Luna is waiting outside?" I asked.

"Thou art correct Raiden!" Luna replied to the question.

"Well good luck Raiden and could you do me a favor?" Twilight asked.

"Sure what is it?" I asked.

Twilight then signaled me to bend down so she could whisper something in my ear.

"Would you like to return to Ponyville with me and the others so I could ask you some more questions about your world?" Twilight asked/whispered.

"Why? Can't you just visit the castle any time you want? I mean you are Princess Celestia's personal student after all." I whispered back.

"Well it's just that I feel a little more comfortable in my library, and there is the fact that Pinkie won't let you stay here until she has thrown you your Welcome to Ponyville party." Twilight replied.

"*sigh* Alright Twilight I promise to come with you and your friends." I replied.

"Do you Pinkie promise?" Twilight asked.

"Uhm sure I Pinkie promise." I replied while holding out my hand.

Twilight looked at my hand confused before speaking up.

"You said that you would Pinkie promise." Twilight said.

"I am!....I am right?" I asked.

"You don't remember how to Pinkie promise do you?" Twilight asked while chuckling a little.

"No I guess I forgot." I relied sheepishly.

"Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." Twilight said while flapping her wings and putting her hoof in front of her eye.

"Ehm, Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye?" I said while trying to mimic the same gestures Twilight made, it ended up with me flapping my arms up and down as if I wanted to fly, and accidentally poking myself in the eye.

"Ahhh shit!" I shouted.

"*chuckles* Don't worry, the same thing happened to me as well." Twilight said while walking towards the door.

"Luckily I didn't poke my other eye out, I would hate to walk with two eye patches." I replied while rubbing my eye.

I looked toward the door and I saw a purple aura covering the doorknob.

'I still have to get used to the whole magic thing.' I thought.

The door opened and revealed Luna standing in the doorway.

"Hello Princess." A now sleepy Twilight said.

"Hello Twilight Sparkle, thou art tired art thee not?" Luna asked.

"Yes *yawn* Princess I am very tired, I think that I'm going to teleport back to my room and try to get some sleep". Twilight replied.

"That would be a wise idea Twilight Sparkle, sleep well." Luna said.

Twilight gave the Princess a smile. Twilight horn began glowing and a second later she was gone.

Luna looked at me and gave a, me a warm smile.

"Could We come in Raiden?" Luna asked.

"Err sure I guess we can talk for a while." I replied.

"Fantastic!" Luna said while walking inside and closing the door with her magic.

"So what do you want to know?" I asked while sitting down on the bed.

"Well We were hoping thou would tell us something." Luna said.

"And that something is?" I asked.

"Well thou sees, when We visited thine nightmare we were attacked by you, for some reason We could feel the pain when thee impaled Us with thine sword." Luna said.

"Didn't you already told me this when I visited your chambers?" I asked confused.

"Yes thou did." Luna said while blushing.

'Why does she keep blushing around me?' I thought.

"Well We would like to know how thou were able to hurt Us." Luna said.

"Listen Luna, I have no idea as to how I able to hurt you in a dream, but if you are still afraid of me I completely understand." I replied.

"No no We are not afraid of thee, it is just that thou didn't seem like the Raiden thou art now." Luna said.

"The Raiden I am now?" I repeated her last words.

"Yes thou were acting really strange, thou had this......Darkness around you, a darkness so dark that We thought Discord had something to do with it, but then We remembered his reformation and the fact he was probably at Fluttershy's cottage Luna." said.

"Luna there are some things I'd rather keep to myself, like my past. The only one who know about my past are Snake, Otacon, Roy Campbell and my..........Ex-wife." I said while thinking about Rosemary and the hard times we've been through.

"Ex-wife? So does that mean thou art divorced?" Luna asked.

"Yes I am divorced." I replied.

"Why?" Luna asked.

"That's something I'd rather keep to myself as well." I replied while looking Luna straight in her eyes.

"Ok We understand, it must be hard for you isn't it?" Luna asked with a hint of concern.

"It was very hard in the beginning Luna, I even tried to end my life once." I replied.

Shit! Why did I say that!?

Suddenly tackled me into a bone-crushing hug.

"Wow Luna what's wrong?" I asked confused.

"Why did thou try to take thine own life!?" Luna said while tears were starting to form in her eyes.

And here we go again.

I bend over and gave Luna a hug just like I did yesterday.

"Luna." I whispered.

"*sob* Yes?" She asked.

"Listen you don’t have to cry about me, you barely know me. Heh last time I checked you tried to blast me with magic." I said.

"Raiden *sob* thou has been trough much pain and *sob* suffering, We know how thou feels, We know what it’s like to be alone." Luna replied.

"Listen Luna you don’t have to worry about me, I know about your banishment, your sister told me about it." I said.

Luna broke the hug and looked at me with an even more sadddened expression.

"And t-thou thinks We are a m-monster?" Luna asked.

"No, I don’t think you are a monster, you felt jealousy against your sister, I can understand how you feel, you wanted the ponies to enjoy your night at its fullest, but all you got were a bunch of sleeping ponies who didn’t care about your night."

"But know this Luna, people shouldn’t be afraid of the night, they shouldn’t be afraid of the dark because the moons beauty and light will always guide them through the darkness."

Luna looked at me a smile forming on her face,  before suddenly tackling me in another hug.

*Oomph*. Was the only thing I could say.

"Thank thee Raiden, thine words mean the world to Us. Thou art the first to say something nice about our night." Luna said while hugging me.

It was kind of awkward, here I was being hugged by a Princess. The hug was almost like a Human hug, she had her front legs around my waste and her head in my chest.

"Uhm your welcome?" I said.

Luna looked up at me, tears in her eyes, but these tears were tears of happiness, not of sadness.

"Raiden thou art the first one to care about our night but we must know one thing." Luna said while breaking the hug.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Did thou mean what thou said about the moon? About it being beautiful?" Luna asked.

"Luna when I was young I would always look up to the moon, I would think about things that I had done in my past, even when I was older and became a cyborg I still looked up to the moon. The moon was my guide throughout many of my missions and it will always be my guide." I replied.

Luna’s tears had been replaced by a big smile on her face.

"Thank thee Raiden, we will leave thou to rest." Luna said.

"Goodnight Princess." I replied.

Luna gave me a smile, her horn started glowing and a few seconds later she was gone.

'Wow that was one of the toughest nights I’ve ever had…….Aside from fighting Sundowner.' I thought while moving towards the bed.

I might as well try to get some sleep, But still what is up with Luna? I mean she acts……Weird around me, the first time me met she was ready to kill me, but now she hugs e and has cried in my arms for two times.

"I'll figure it out tomorrow." I said while getting in bed.

Damn ponies. Couldn’t even get a decent bed for me, well luckily for me my body can resist the pain I’m gonna have in my back tomorrow.

After a few minutes of thinking about what had occurred; I decided to get some sleep and just forget the whole thing.

'Luna must have nightmares about her past as well, she probably just needed someone to talk to.' I thought.

And with that thought sleep took over and I drifted off to the Land of Nightmares.

Luna POV

'I cannot believe that Raiden actually likes the night!' I thought while flying over Ponyville.

But what is this strange feeling I get in my tummy when I see or speak to Raiden?

I decided to shrug it off and continue my stroll around Ponyville.

'My dear subjects, look at them, they are all asleep. Even Raiden is asleep- RAIDEN!' I thought while stopping in midair.

I still do not know what attacked me in his dream. I need to know, and the only way to find out is to *gulp* visits his dreams. I thought while remembering the entre scene that occurred in his dreams

'I just need to know.' I thought.

And with that said I flew back towards Canterlot, back to whatever lurks in Raiden’s dreams.

Five minutes later, Canterlot…….

I arrived at Canterlot and immediately teleported to Raiden’s room, I saw Raiden, he was fast asleep.

'He looks peaceful.' I thought.

'Well here goes nothing, but this time I am prepared for whatever comes at me.' I thought while moving closer to Raiden.

'Raiden I am truly sorry about this but there is no other way.'

And with that I entered Raiden’s dreams, only to be greeted by a horrifying scene.

Youtube Video

"What what was that?" I thought while trying to process the scene I has just seen.

That was defiantly not the Raiden I know, Raiden was plain out evil, he murdered those men, he got stabbed and it didn’t even seem to hurt him and then he turned of those pain inhibitors so he could feel the pain!?

'Should I tell Tia about this?' I thought.

"Welcome back Princess." A voice said.

"What, where art thou!?" We know thou art there Raiden!" I shouted.

"I’m right behind you sweetheart." The voice said.

I turned around and saw The same Raiden I saw in the flashback, he was covered in the same red aura and he had this smile that could scare a dragon to its bones, Raiden pulled me in the dark void we were in before and started talking.

"It’s a pleasure to see you again Princess." Raiden said.

"What art thou and what has thou done with the real Raiden!?" I asked.

"I am the real Raiden Princess." The voice replied laughing maniacally.

"Thou art not the Raiden We know!" I said while trying to blast him with magic.

My magic simply bounced off Raiden, Raiden looked at me before reaching behind his back and grabbing his sword.

"Tell me Princess." Raiden said while playing with his sword. ( he’s doing the same thing he did while talking to Monsoon by the way) "Have I ever told you my real name?" Raiden asked.

"Thou has told Us thine name but thou art not the Raiden we speak of!" I shouted.

"My real name is not Raiden Princess." Raiden said.

"What is thine real name then?" I asked.

"Jack The Ripper." Raiden replied.

"The Ripper?" I asked.

"Yes the Ripper, as in I’m gonna rip you apart!" Raiden shouted while running towards me at full speed.

"Oh no thou art not pulling that one on us again!" I shouted.

"What are you gonna do? I’m in control here!" Raiden shouted while holding his sword up.

His sword came down and was inches away from my head, but luckily for me I had learned from my mistakes and concentrated all my energy on this spell. I quickly casted the spell and before Raiden could strike me down I was already gone.

"No!" Jack shouted.

Jack looked up at the darkness before speaking up.

"You got lucky this time Princess, but trust me, when the time comes I will have your head."

"*gasp* No Rose I………..*sigh*Just another nightmare." Raiden thought while going back to sleep.

What Raiden didn’t know was that a certain Princess was watching him.

"Just what art thou not telling us Raiden?" Luna asked.

And with that said Luna teleported herself outside of Raiden’s room, the encounter with Jack The Ripper still fresh in her mind .

Canterlot throne room,

Raiden POV

"And you are sure you want to go with Twilight to Ponyville?" Celestia asked.

"I am certain Celestia……And I kind of Pinkie promised it." I replied sheepishly.

"Well then I see no reason to decline your decision." Celestia said.

"Thank you Celestia, but if you find anything that could help me get home please let me know immediately." I said.

"I will Raiden and have a safe trip." Celestia replied.

"Thank you Celestia……And if you want to know more about Snake you just got to ask." I said with mockingly.

It appeared Celestia blushed a little at my comment.

"Uhm I eh *ahem* I will." Celestia replied.

"Alright Celestia , thank you for all of this, I mean me being an alien on your planet and you’re treating me as an equal. I said.

"You have saved Ponyville from those raiders and you save Twilight Sparkle, this is the least I can do for you Raiden." Celestia replied.

"Thank you Celestia." I replied.

"No Raiden Thank you."
