Of God Eaters and Ponies
Mission 2: Let's go kill a dragon
Previous ChapterNext Chapter(The next day)
"Let's go already! Trixie does not like to wait for slow ponies such as yourself to keep her waiting."
In my mind I wanted to tell her to shut the hell up, but then again she's pretty much helping me out by leading me to the dragon’s cave so. "Oh I'm sorry I don't have a magical horn, or learn how to fly. Remember I just became a pony like oh I don't know YESTERDAY!"
"Even a newborn filly can do a better job then you can Ruby. Trixie find it sad that you we're able to kill a manticore, but you don't know how to fly."
"......You know just because I can't fly and we are friends, doesn't mean I won’t shove my hoof right up your-" Before I could finish what I was about to say, we all heard a loud roar. That sound made some of the rock fall a few inches next to us. "I take it that we are getting close huh?" I asked.
"Really Trixie didn't notice, was it because of the loud roar we just heard that gave it away?" She said sarcastically.
"You know this could of gone much faster, if one of you can carry me up this stupid mountain?"
"Trixie would but she is still drained from yesterday and *yawns* don't have the energy to do it."
"And I'm pretty much carrying her so I can't carry you as well, it'll cause me to fall to the ground."
I'm starting to think that being friends with Gilda and Trixie will be the death of me, but at least we're almost to the top of this stupid mountain.
(Two hours later)
After 2 hours of climbing and dodging falling rocks. We finally made it to top of the mountain. No thanks to the bitchy unicorn and flying chicken who kept on criticizing me. I mean really what kind of a friends.......you know what never mind, if my friends were still alive then they would pretty much do that.
"Ok so how hard is a dragon’s skin, and where it's weak points Gilda?"
"Well for what I know from my grandfather who fought against one in a war. He said that their scales are as hard as diamonds, and their weak spot is their under bellies."
"Noted, now then let's see if I can get fire butts attention." I told Gilda and Trixie to stay behind a boulder near the cave entrance. While they were hiding I entered the cave with my god arc into gun mode. As I walked into the cave I notice that this dragon had a lot of gold and jewels. "Man we will be loaded for life once I kill the dragon, that or try to convince it hand over all of it's stuff or else I'll kill it. Well either way I'm still getting that treasure." I thought.
Just before I lost my train of thought, I felt a gust of warm wind blowing in my face. I looked up and saw the dragon in front of me. Odd really, I never thought that I would see a real live dragon before in my entire life. Before I got lost in thought again I took a few steps back to get a good look at the target. To my surprise when I touched it scales, it was hard but not as harder then aragami skin armor. Before I could think of a plan, the dragon open it's eyes to see me standing in front of it.
"Oh! You’re awake? Good because I was wondering if you could spare some of your gold with me and my friends over there?" I said pointing to Trixie and Gilda standing behind the rock outside of the cave.
"And why pray tell would I do that?" The dragon asked look a bit annoyed.
"Well seeing how you have all this gold, and you don't know what to do with it. I figure you would spare some to a traveler like me." I extended my hoof towards the dragon. "So can you please spare some bits for me and my friends?"
The dragon inhaled some air, and exhaled it at me. I fell back a bit due to some of the smoke that exhaled from it's nose. "So I take it that's a no then huh?" The dragon nodded at my question as it picked itself up and began to inhale a huge breath of air. At that point If it's anything like the hannibal back at home, then it was about to breath fire at me. With quick reflexes I activated my god arc's shield as the dragon hit me with it flames.
"DEAR CELESTIA!" Said Trixie as she saw me being engulfed by the flames.
"Damn I wanted that weapon she had. Now what am suppose to do now that Ruby’s dead?"
"Really? Your worry about my god arc being yours then worrying about me?" To their surprise as the flames died off, I was stand there with no scratches or burn marks on me. I was a bit surprise myself to how I survive that attack, hell even the dragon was as well.
"How did you survive from my flames? The only beings that can do that would be Celestia and Luna, but you? You brushed it off like it was nothing." He said with a dumbfounded look on it face.
"Ha! Hannaibal's fire attacks are more powerful than your fire breath." I said switching my god arc to blade mode."Now are you gonna spare some of your gold? Or are we gonna do this the hard way?" He didn't say anything but only swung his tail at me. I switch to shield mode to parry away it's attack, then switch back to blade mode and cut half of the dragon's tail off. A loud thud was heard when the tail hit the ground, and the dragon roared a mighty roar that it could be heard from the village I saw climbing up here. I looked back at Trixie and Gilda with shocking looks on their faces, I chuckled a bit from their expressions then turn my attention towards the dragon.
"So are you gonna be nice and spare some bits?"
The dragon shook it head no, and began to charge at me. During his charge I pulled out my mp3 player and turn my music on to play Fate is In Our Hands by Lotus Juice. "Ok then." I said as I switch to gun mode. "I was hoping that you would be reasonable, but I guess I have no choice but to kill you then." I rolled to the left to avoid the dragons charge attack, as I shot six oracle frost: :thruster bullets into the dragon’s neck. The shots pushed the dragon back a bit, but the dragon turn it neck to the left and hit me with it's nose. I was sent back a bit into the cave, but recovered quickly as I jump onto the dragon’s arm when it was trying to grab me. I started to fire forlorn bullets into the open wounds of the dragon’s neck. I knew that it was strong so I figure if I poison it while trying stall it, the poison would take care of the rest as the poison flow throughout it's body.
"I hope this plan work?" I thought to myself hoping that the poison would work it's magic quickly.
(Third person POV)
Gilda and Trixie were watching Ruby fighting. They were pretty much surprise at how she could hold her own ground against a dragon the size of ponyville.
"Trixie is in shock and awe at what she is seeing."
"Yeah it's a good thing she on our side. I hate to see what would happen if we met her if she was working for some bad guy." They both shivered a bit from the thought of that as they watch the show Ruby was giving.
"You think she could teach me some of those moves?" Asked Gilda.
"Trixie would also like to learn how she can use magic without the use of a horn. This would be great to Trixie as a comeback from zero to super star." She said with stars in her eyes.
"Yeah cause Celestia knows you'll be back to stardom after what happen in ponyville."
"At least I can win over the hearts of the citizens, unlike you who scared them to death."
"HEY IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT PINK NIGHTMARE STEALING DASH FROM ME I-." Before she could finish her sentence, she notice six colorful ponies walking up the path that leads to the summit of the mountain. Both Trixie and Gilda said in union. "Oh great it's you six."
"Gilda and Trixie!? What are you two doing here?" Asked Twilight.
"Why should we tell you?" Gilda asked.
"Cause if you don't then will beat the answers out of you." Said Rainbow dash flying in front of Gilda.
"Rainbow dash we are here to find out what that noise was, not to start a fight with them." Twilight said standing in between Gilda and Rainbow dash. She then turn towards the griffon and blue unicorn. "Now can you both please tell us why you two are here?"
"Trixie doesn't have to answer to the likes of you Twilight Sparkle, in fact why don't you look over there and see for yourself." She said pointing a hoof towards the cave. The 6 ponies began to walk towards the opening of the cave, when a loud booming sound echoed out of the cave causing everyone to be pushed back. Recovering from the sudden burst of air that pushed them back, a dragon’s head was popping out of the cave. At first everypony was surprised at the dragon and thought it was about to attack them, but it didn't. It just stood there on the ground doing nothing like it was dead. Twilight notice that there was a pegasus sitting on top of the dragon’s head. The mare was wearing an ocean color hoodie, with a mini skirt which matches the same color as her hoodie, and had a set of headphones that look like Vinyl's.
(Moments before the mane six came)
[(Ruby's P.O.V)]
Just as I thought, the poison works much faster here then it does to the aragami's. Before the dragon fell I switch my god arc to blade mode, and ran up the dragon’s back. I knew the poison wouldn't kill him, but hitting him in his spinal cord would. As I reach his neck I jumped off and landed on the side wall of the cave. Adjusting my angle to where the dragon's neck is, I jumped off the wall and flew towards the weak spot. I lifted my blade and began to spin like a vertical saw and ripped into the dragon's neck. I landed on the side as the piece I cut off landed somewhere else. "You see, this all could’ve been avoided if you would of just shared."
I looked at myself to see if I had any damage on myself, to my surprise I had none on me. "Huh? If all the monster's here are this weak, then fighting them would be easy as pie." I said pulling out my phone to take a picture of the dead dragon. "Can't lose the bet towards Gilda if I don't have proof now don't I?" After the snapshot I took. I began to walk on top of the dragon and head towards the exit, when I exited the cave there were six more ponies were standing there in shock at the dead dragon. I looked to my left to see Trixie and Gilda still hiding behind the rock.
"Hey Gilda!" I yelled throwing my storage unit towards her. "Go inside the cave and collect the loot this dragon had." With that Gilda and Trixie ran into the cave, leaving me here with the other ponies. I was about to follow the two into the cave, but I was cut off by a cyan pegasus with rainbow mane.
"Hey! Who the hay are you? And what happen to the dragon?" She said pointing at the dragon that I was sitting on.
"Oh well my name is Ruby Garnet, and to what happen to the dragon….well I killed it cause it was attacking me." This took everyone by surprise.
"Please like somepony like you could defeat a dragon." Said the Cyan pegasus.
"Maybe not you ponies, but unless you have a god arc like this." I pulled out my weapon I had on my back. "Then it'll be easy to kill it." The cyan color pegasus flew back a bit from my god arc.
"But why would you kill that poor defenseless dragon?" Ask the cream color pegasus with pink hair.
“Because I ask the dragon if he could spare some of it’s gold, he said no and then attacked me. So in retaliation I killed it so it wouldn't cause any trouble."
"How dare you."
"Huh?" I asked "I couldn't hear you, speak up."
"HOW DARE YOU KILL AN INNOCENT DRAGON!" Really? she cares more about the dragon then she would her own kind? Man she reminds me of the people in the group back home called PETA. "WHO GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO ATTACK THIS DRAGON WITHOUT ANY REASON!?"
"Yeah you tell her Fluttershy!" Cheered the cyan pegasus.
"You better say your sorry or else I'll have to give you the stare."
The stare really? As if her name wasn't bad enough, now she's gonna stare at me with this so called stare? Ok then let's see what this so called stare is, might as well humor her just for the laughs.
With that I spit my tongue out at her, this pretty much cause all 5 of them to frown at me. Well besides the pink one with the cotton candy looking hair. Looking back at this pony named fluttershy she was giving me her so called "stare", the other ponies had smiles on their faces when they saw her using her stare on me. "Really? This is your so called stare?" Everypony was surprised that the stare didn't work on me, but to be fair I faced scarier aragami's then her.
"Why didn't the stare work on her?" Asked the white unicorn with violet wavy hair.
"I don't know? The only ponies that I know that wouldn't be affected by her stare would be the Princesses, and Discord." Said the lavender unicorn.
"Why should I say that I'm sorry when the dragon was the one that attack me? What, you care more about this stupid dragon then you do your kind?" This took the cream color pegasus by surprise. "How pathetic and sad, what would happen if your friends got killed by this dragon? Would you just stand there and let the dragon do what it wants?" Tears started to form around her eyes as I continue to lecture her. "What gonna cry? Well get use to it, cause what I'm telling you is the hard truth about life. Now get the hell out of my face, I have some gold to collect." Before I could walk off into the cave, a lavender color aura or something surrounded me. I looked over to see the lavender unicorn's horn glow.
"You’re not going anywhere until we get some answers." She said as she was trying to pull me over towards her. "Why isn't my levitation spell working on you?"
"Beats me, but I can tell you this much."
"And what's that?" Asked the orange pony with the cowboy hat.
I smiled and pulled out a flash grenade, and threw it onto the ground. A bright light flashed in front of everyone, as I ran off into the cave to meet up with Trixie and Gilda. I just hope that Trixie can teleport us the hell out of the cave, because I don't think I can take on six technicolor ponies. I mean I wouldn't have a problem with taking out six orgetails because they don't think that well, but those six I'm not taking any chances.
(Third P.O.V)
As the light died out, all the ponies were still rubbing their eyes from the flash trying to regain their sight. When they did the pony name Ruby that was in front of them was gone.
"Why that no good little...Oh she is not gonna get away that easily!" Rainbow dash Flew off into the cave going after Ruby. Twilight was still trying to understand why her levitation spell didn't work on the pegasus, but she was brought back to reality by Applejack calling out her name.
"Twilight come on, that pegasus is getting away." Applejack ran off into the cave along with the rest of the group.
"R-Right." With that Twilight enter into the cave with her friends.
