Of God Eaters and Ponies

[Ruby’s POV]

"I really don't know what's going on, but why do I feel both sunlight and a gentle wind blowing at me?"

To what I could gather when I woke, I was in a forest. This was odd even for me, cause if I remember from the textbooks all plant life was destroyed during the invasion of the aragami a few years ago. So why are there plant life here? Normally I would wonder where I am, but due to the splitting headache I have at the moment I'll have to wait till I recover a bit.

 "Ugh......M-My head, what the hell happen? I remember that I was falling to my death." I said while rubbing my head. "Everything went dark and then..." I stopped to wonder why my feet felt weird, to my surprise I didn't have any feet only stubs. "W-WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY FEET!?” I screamed, wondering if someone painted my skin orange, cut off my feet, and left me for dead, or if someone was pull a sick joke on me.

I'm starting to wish that it was a joke, that or it was just a dream I was have when I fell off that cliff. Cause when I was crawling towards a running stream of water to get a good look at myself my face went pale. "I...I'm a....pony?" I said while still looking at myself in the streams reflection. "How the fuck am I a pony?.....An anthropormorphic pony with wings on her back.......Yeah this has to be a dream." I said while trying to walk with both legs, or hooves.

"Ok Ruby get yourself together, you probably just hit your head on something? Or maybe you got stuck in a simulator that the doctor made to see how you would react to this?" I then began to pinch myself to see if I was dreaming. "Ok I'm wrong this isn't a dream and seeing how if it was a simulator then the doc would of turned it off when I died.........OH FUCK I'M STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF A GOD FORSAKEN FOREST IN THE BODY OF A PONY!" I scream which cause some birds to scatter away from where I was.

After a few minutes of freaking out, and trying to knock my head into a tree to see if I still wasn’t dreaming. I calmed downed a bit and stood near the stream looking at my...well I guess my new body. "Ok I still have my god bracelet and my clothing, but can I walk with nothing but stubs?" I started to lift myself up by using the tree next to the stream to help for support. "Ok I can still walk that's a good thing I guess? Now let's see if I can use my god arc?" Looking around I can see my god arc next to the tree where I was when I woke up. I grabbed my god arc and begun to switching it between sword, gun, and shield modes.

"Well at least you know it still work even with this pony body I have." I said putting my god arc to the side. "Welp better open up I inventory to see what I have."

I open up my portable inventory on my right wrist seeing if I had everything I had before I fell of the cliff.

"Good I have everything that I needed. Now then let's see it I can find a town or village that can help tell me where I am?"

Just as I was about to look around, I heard a blood curling scream from over the bushes to the left of me. With not a second to lose I ran towards where the screaming was, only to see that there was a blue pony with a horn on her head wearing a mage like outfit. And in front of her was some kind of animal that looked like a mix with a lion and a bird wearing a black shirt with a skull on it, a blue jean skirt, and black fish net stockings.

"Man if I was born looking like that I would walk towards the nearest living thing and kill it. But then again I have killed aragami that were uglier than that lion bird thing." I chuckled a bit thinking about how a lion and a bird can have sex with each other. Before I started to lose track of what was going on, I was called back to reality to a loud roar that almost sounded like a roar from an aragami. Looking over to my right, I saw the monster with head of a lion, wings of a bat, and scorpion tail.

"I don't know what the hell that thing is, but something tells me that whatever that it is it's trying to eat that pony and lion bird thing."

        I started to walk backward a little and started to run out of the bushes and swung my god arc's blade at the monster face sending it back falling on it's back. Turning my head slightly back to see it the pony and loin bird thing were ok. "Hey are you two ok?" I said with a cocky grin on my face. But they didn't say anything. I wouldn't blame them ,after seeing me with this weird weapon I have in my hands. That and I just send that monster thing flying backwards into a tree and all.

        Going back to where my attention is I switch my God arc to gun mode readying myself for when that monster comes back up for a counterattack. And of course the monster did just that as it got itself back up and started to charge itself at me. "Idiot." I said throwing a snare trap in front of me, trapping the monster inside an electric field before it could attack me. With it trapped I fired 3 Hellfire: :Thruster bullets into the monster face causing it head to explode. Blood start to gush out at me like being hit with water from a hose, not that I minded it or anything it kinda felt cool slaying this monster just like the heroes you see in movies killing the evil monster and stuff.

     Bits and pieces of it face was on the ground, some were in my hair and some were…..well someplace else I don't know but whatever. I turn around to see if that pony with the horn and lion bird thing was ok.

"Uh hey are you two ok?" I asked

"Y-yeah we're fine."

"The great and powerful Trixie did not need you help.....But she is fine thanks for asking."

"W-what was that you just did to that manticore? So far I have never seen a pony let alone a pegasus take it out like it was just a fly!"

"Yes Trixie is also wondering? How were you able to take on a manticore without so much as drop a sweat? You will answer Trixie's question at once!" She said slamming her hoof onto the ground.

"Hm normally if I was back on earth then I wouldn't say a word, but then again I guess it wouldn't help but to tell the I might be able to get some questions answered myself." I thought to myself. Before I could answer my stomach started to growl, and my face turned bright red from hearing it. "I'll tell you it after I eat." I looked over at the remains of that manticore I killed. "Hey think that I can eat that dead monster over there? I forgot that I haven't eaten anything this morning, and I doubt I'll be able to make it to a town or village without passing out due to starvation." This took them both by surprise, mostly Trixie giving me a "You eat meat that just sick." kinda look.

"Y-y-you eat MEAT!?"

"Yeah why?" I replied back to Trixie.

"B-but your a pony right? Ponies don't eat meat, the only species that I know that eat meat are griffons like her." She said while pointing a hoof towards the griffin girl.

"Oh so that what she is? Good thing I didn't ask her what she is, other why she might end up killing me." I thought to myself shivering a bit at the thought of her killing me.

"This "griffin" has a name you know?" she said with a pissed off look on her face. "The names Gilda by the way kid." She then extending her claw like hand out towards me for a shack.

"Normally Trixie don't give out her name to anypony....but seeing how you saved me and all my name is." She jumped back. "The Great and Powerful TRIXIE!" Fireworks and sparklers shooting out from behind her like she was some kind of celebrity or something.

"Right......Anyway my name Ruby Garnet soldier of the west branch of Fenrir branch God eaters." I replied while shaking Gilda's claw hand.

                                    ( Few hours later, after cleaning the blood off myself)

I starting a fire and put the manticore meat on a rock to cook. It was kinda nice actually, sitting there next to an open fire not having to worry about getting attack by an aragami. It would have been nice if my friends were still alive and here with me, but I guess having a unicorn and a griffon will have to do as company I guess? Anyway as the three of us were sitting there in front of the fire I began to tell them who I am, what I did for a living, the war between humans and aragami's, and how I ended up here in this place.

"So your a thing called a hue-men from a planet called earth? And your a god eater that eat these things called oragami's?"

I facepalmed myself at what Gilda said. It's not that I didn't mind explaining, it's just that this was pretty much getting annoying repeating myself over and over again. "Yes to the first part but it pronounce "Human", and second you’re half right." I pulled my god arc over to show them. "You see on my planet I'm called a god eater, god eaters are known for defending our base/home from monsters called aragami's, that want to devour humanity or something like that I don't know. I was pretty much into reading comic books during my classes so I wasn't an A student."

"Trixie still do not understand how you we're able to kill that manticore the way you did? She demands that you tell her this instant Ruby."

Taking a bite out of the manticore meat and swallowing it I begun to answer her question. "Well back on earth the manticore kinda reminded me of an orgetail, so I just use this snare trap to stop it from moving and then shot it with a few rounds into it's face. Plus I had a few years of combat training which was required for new recruits so it was nothing really."

"You know kid you’re one really odd pony that I normally don't see that much of."

"How come?" I asked.

"Because your eating meat, nopony that I know of besides Rainbow dash eats meat without having stomach problems."

"Yes Trixie must agree with Gilda on that, why is it that you’re not sick from eating meat?"

Well humans are omnivores so that pretty much means we eat both meat, certain plants, and fruits."  After saying that they got a little bit nervous at me saying that humans eat meat. "But don't worry I don't eat ponies, griffins, or anything that are sentient being of any kind."

"Nice save Ruby." I thought to myself, would of been bad if I just left it like that and they start running away. "But enough about me what about you two? Why were you both out here and almost becoming that manticore's lunch?” They both look at each other as if they didn't want to talk about the event that happened a few hours ago, but with a sigh I heard coming from Trixie and Gilda they explained what happened.

         From what Trixie told me she was running away from ponyville after something called a ursa minor attack the town and was humiliated by some purple pony named Twilight Sparkle. "I'm hoping that this Twilight pony doesn't have the book twilight, or some kind of book that similar to that." I thought. With Gilda story she told me about how this pink pony named Pinkie pie was pulling pranks on her and took her friend Rainbow Dash away from her. Judging by how she put it I just guess it was one of those "long time no see friend that just wanted to hang out with her old friend" kinda deal.

"That explains the running into the forest bit, but what about the manticore thing that doesn't really give me a lot to go on you know?" I said taking another bite out of the cooked manticore meat.

"Trixie was getting to that!" She took a deep breath. "Anyway as I was running off into the everfree forest after my humiliated defeat by that cursed Twilight Sparkle. When all of a sudden I ran into Gilda, who was at first about to kill on sight. I shot a beam a magic at her face in self defence but....."

"It missed and ended up hitting a sleeping manticore that was sleeping behind a shade of bushes." Gilda said picking up from where Trixie had stop.

"So here's my question again. Your a unicorn and your a griffin right?" They both nodded."So why didn't you teleport the hell out of there and you fly the hell out?"

"Well....you see....Trixie was about to but, she couldn't cause.....she was drained of magic from the ursa minor and from running away from ponyville." She said with a blush on her face.

"Hey I would of gotten out of there but....well....fear pretty much got the better of me." She blushed as well but turned her face to the right.

I started to laugh a bit after listening to what had happened to them but then started to settle down a bit wiping away the teardrops from my left eye. "So it seems that we all have no place to go back to then huh?"

Gilda and Trixie agreed with me on that one. From what Trixie told me her home got destroyed by that giant cosmic bear, and Gilda couldn't go home mostly because of parent trouble. "Well then how about the three of us become friends then?"

They both looked at me with questionable looks to their faces saying ‘The fuck are you talking about?’ "Look hear me out for a second. Now take to what I told you two about my life and how I died right?"

They both nodded.

"And you two told me that you both don't have a place to live/go home to right?”

They nodded again.

"So why not just become friends and help each other out? Cause right now none of us don't have any money on us at this point right?"  Well I did have money but I don't think human money will help me out in this world.

"Hm Trixie will agree with you on that, and she doesn't normally be friends with anypony.....but seeing how you saved Trixie from a.....gory fate she'll join you on becoming your friend."

"I guess I'll be your friend only because you saved my tail, and the fact that I might be able to rub it in into Dashes face that I have a new cool friend."

"Ok then so it official we are now friends." I said with a uplifting smile on face.

Huh first day here in Equestria and I'm friends with a magical talking unicorn and a talking mythical griffin that is a legend. Normally if I was a normal person that wasn't a nerd before she got sent into a war I would be freaking out by now, but then again I was born in a wasteland world so who am I to judge how this world is.

"So first order of business is money, how do we get it?"

"Trixie doubts we could get jobs to get money, most myself after what happen in ponyville."

"And I don't do so well with being nice to other ponies so I can't get a job.” Said Gilda.

"Lord knows if she did get a job I doubt she'll be able to hold it, that is if she doesn’t beat the crap out of the guy that pisses her off." I shivered a bit at the thought of it. "Ok so I guess I could get a job, but the only thing I know is pretty much hunting and killing aragami's.......damn this could be harder than I thought, Isn't there like a dragon near by that has gold or something? I read stories that says that dragons collect lots of gold and jewels that they keep in their cave or something?"

Trixie and Gilda looked at each other with ‘The fuck are you talking about?’ expression on their faces again, I'm starting to get tired of that look.

"Pray tell what will you do if we lead you to a cave that does have a dragon in it with gold?" Asked Trixie.

"Well I'm gonna ask it for gold and if it doesn't I'm gonna kill it simple as that why?"

".........You sure you didn't land on you head when you fell out of the sky?"

“I told you twice I didn't land on my head, I mean really it's like you guys haven't seen death before?"

"It is not that we haven't it just that....well."

"Trixie have never seen a pony fight a dragon and lived to tell about it, well besides the princesses but other then that none."

"And well don't get me wrong or anything kid, but I doubt you'll be able to kill even with that god arc thing of yours."

"Don't worry this wouldn't be the only time I had to kill something that big before, and besides I have a plan that will kill without me having to fly."

"Trixie is wondering, what is your plan to win a fight with the dragon?"

I pull my god arc and switch it to gun mode. "I'm gonna shoot it in the heart or head with a few oracle rounds into it, simple right?" I smile at them both telling them my ingenious plan. A moment of silence that lasted for a few seconds until both Gilda and Trixie started to laugh.

"T-Trixie have heard of many plans before b-but this, this is just a plan s-stupid bahahahahahaha."

"Kid that something Rainbow dash would think of hahahahahahahaha."

"Oh screw you guys I think it a well thought out plan that will work."

   "Ok Ruby then let see this plan work out tomorrow. I'll take you to the cave where the dragon lives, and if the plan actually works then I'll wear a maids outfit. But if your plan fails then you'll have to fork over that god arc of yours and tell me how it works, deal?" Gilda spat into her claw and extended toward.

"Ok then you got yourself a deal Gilda." I said while spitting into my hand and shaking her claw in agreement.

"Trixie believes this will not turn out well, but then again nothing really does does it?"

And with that the deal was made.

"I'll show that flying chicken not to underestimate a god eaters abilities."
