Of God Eaters and Ponies

(The next morning)

(Ruby P.O.V)

"Ugh......my head.....what the hell happen?" As I woke up from my sleep I notice that I had something on my head. I took my hand to see what it was, only to feel that I had a wet towel over my forehead.

"Oh you’re awake?" I turn to my right to see Gilda carrying a few pieces of wood, along with what appears to be a dead boar on her back. "We would of thought that you would be still asleep after what happen yesterday."

"Normally I would, but it's kinda hard to do that when you two kept on arguing most of the night." I mean really you think they would of keep quiet around an injured person.

"Not my fault, Trixie wouldn't shut up about how she saved your life. So I punched her in the face to shut her up."

"And how that turned out for ya?" Something tells me that they ended up fighting afterwards.

"We ended up fighting afterwards." I freaking called it! "But we worked things out the moment we heard you groaning in your sleep."

“Well at least you two know when to put aside your argument, and focus on something important.” I tried to pull myself up from the ground, but ended up falling. As I did I left something wrong with my right arm. “Something doesn’t feel right.” I removed the covers that were on top of me to wonder what’s up with it. As I did I pretty much had a few word that I could sum it up.

“W-What the fuck happen to my arm!?” I Yelled. Looking at my arm it had the same design as my god arc, only instead of white and magenta it was dark purple & magenta. “What the hell did you guys do to me!?”

“During your little rumble with those pony dweebs, your bracelet thing got damage and we were trying to figure out how to fix it.”

“Ok so what did you two do?”

“Well we found something in that book of yours that told us how to fix it, but it requires the use of your god arc.”

“What did you two do to my god arc?” I asked. You can’t blame me for being worry about it, it’s the only thing I have to fight with. Well that and my storage unit.

“Trixie fused your weapon to your arm to prevent you from becoming an aragami.”

“......What?”

“She fused your god arc with your arm kid.”

That just impossible. How can someone be able to fuse together a piece of hi tech technology that never been discovered or made before, and without the tools need so perfectly. So far the person that was able to overcome the corruption was Lindow Amamiya. Guess I’m the second one to get help overcoming the corruption, just needed some help from a griffon & a unicorn who thinks she’s great and powerful.

“Where’s Trixie? I need to ask her something.”

“Are you mad at her for doing that?”

“No I’m just gonna ask what she did to fuse my god arc to my arm.” Truthfully I am little pissed, but I can focus on that later, right now I wanna know how she saved my ass or flank seeing how I’m a pony now.

“She went out to survey the area.” Makes sense when you think about it. Survey the area to make sure no one or pony is following you. Standard military protocol for those who have an injured soldier. “She should be back in about a few minutes or so I think?”

“So we’re stuck here until she gets back?”

“Pretty much kid.” She said as she put the dead boar over the fire she apparently made. “But hey look on the bright side at least we can relax until then.”

“Yeah I guess, but damn how the hell did I get taken out by a rainbow color dyke?”

“To be fair I’m sure you’re not the only one who got their flank handed to her.” Gee I feel so special now. “Hey at least you took out one of the element of harmony, that’ll keep their focus on her then on us.“

“Unless they sent Rainbow Dash after us, and took their injured friend to a hospital.” I said which caused Gilda to frown in disappointment and shock. “What? It’s basic common knowledge what they or any group with some kind of military skills would do.”

“Great so now we have to wait even longer?” Asked Gilda who seem to be annoyed.

“Either that or we go out there like a bunch of idiots and get caught.” I said as I pointed to myself. “Plus I’m not in any condition to fight at the moment, and I’m still need time to recover from my fight.”

“You been beaten up, thrown into a boulder, and got pelted by rock. How the hell is it that you can recover from something like that in a matter of minutes?”

“Restore Pills S.” I said pulling out a green & blue color pill. “I always keep one in my mouth in case of something like this.”

“Well aren’t you full of surprises.”

“I’ll take that as a complement.”

“Besides that how’s your arm feeling?” She asked. I looked at my former arm and started to move it around to see how it feels. So far it feels and moves like my arm and I’m able flex my fingers and stuff.

“Well it feels fine, though I do wish I still had my god arc.” As I said that my arm started to glow as a sword in the same color and length as my god arc, burst out of my arm and hit the wall of the cave next to Gilda’s head. There was a moment of silence after that, and to be honest I was worry that Gilda was gonna kill for doing that by accident.”

“Well…...that was….something.” She said as she moved away from the sword next to her head. “Care to explain what the buck was that all about?”

“Honestly I have no idea how that even happen, but something tells me that I can use my arm as a weapon.” Yep just like Lindow Amamiya, only mine is made of metal instead of flesh.

“You don’t say?” Gilda said with a sarcastic tone in her voice. “What gave it away, was it the sword you launched that almost clean off my head?”

“Whatever, just pass me some of that boar meat will yeah?” I asked as she tossed me a piece of the boar’s leg. I sniffed it so see if it was done cooking, then took a bit out of it. The moment I did that my mouth started drool more than usual. “Holy crap this is good.”

“Heh secret cooking techniques that my grandfather gave me when I was just a kid.” Gilda said as she pulled a piece of boar meat from the boar and started to munch on it. “He was a bit insane from time to time, but he was one damn good cook.”

“No kidding, I think you would of been our sectors cook if you were in my world.”

“Was the food that bad on your planet?”

“Well-.” Before a could stay anything a flash of light appeared inside the cave. The light died after a few seconds revealing Trixie. “Oh hey you’re back from scouting.”

“Indeed Trixie has, she also sees that you’re up from your slumber Ruby. Trixie had thought you would be asleep a little longer.”

“Take more than that to put me to sleep, so what are situation?”

“So far nopony seems to be following us after we teleported out of the dragon’s cave, but we better lay low for a while until we have recover.”

“Mostly you seeing how you might have used up all your magic I take it?” I asked getting a good look at her. She was pretty much tired from using her magic to get us out of there, along with what I’m guessing using her magic to scout the area we were in.

“The Great and Powerful Trixie is not tired!” She said as she almost tripped over her own feet. “.....But she will rest for a bit before we move out.”

“Move out where?” Asked Gilda. “Cause in case you haven’t notice but Ruby just attack the elements of harmony, and not only that but we just aided her in her escape. So by the time we figure out where we’re going will be hunted down by almost everypony within the royal guard coming after us.”

“Then we better get ready to leave now then huh?” I said as I pulled myself off the cave floor. As I did I reached into my portable storage unit and pulled out a restore pills S, and handed it to Trixie. “Eat that it should restore your magic powers to full strength.”

Trixie did as I told to do, and in a matter of seconds she was back on her feet fully recovered. “A-Amazing! Trixie must know what is in this pill that you gave me to make her feel like a newborn filly again.”

“I’ll tell you after you tell me how were able to fuse my god arc with my god bracelet, deal?” I said as I pulled my god arc blade from the wall, and extended my hand towards Trixie. In return she shook my hand in agreement. “Good now does anyone know a place where we can go from here?”

“Well we can’t stay here forever, just like you said they might have sent Rainbow Dash after us.” Said Gilda. “And something tells me that the royal guards will be with them as well when they figure out where we are.”

“Oh please.” I said.” Unless they had someone that can track down a pony, then we have enough time to think of a plan to-.” I was cut short when I heard a very loud noise coming from out of the cave.

“WE KNOW YOU THREE ARE IN THERE! COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!” You know what, I’m starting to wish I wasn’t proven wrong all the time at this point. I popped my head out of the cave only to see a white unicorn with blue hair wearing purple & gold armor, and a few of these royal guards that I was wondering what they looked like from what Trixie had said.

“F….M…..L.” I said cursing my own luck and stupidity. I then turn to my friends who I gave a very unpleased look on my face. “Care to tell me how the hell did they find us so quickly?”

“Trixie might have forgotten to mention that Princess Luna can track down a pony with the help of their dreams.” Trixie said with a sheepish smile on her face. Gilda in return smacked her upside her head for forgetting  to tell us about that.

“Great…..Gilda take my storage unit and get out of here along with Trixie.” I said as I pulled out 20 stun grenades, 50 restore S pills, 50 OG: Restore Post, 20 ration packs, 50 Detox pills, 20 snare traps, and 30 binding traps.

“Wait a minute, you’re gonna fight Twilights brother, Shining Armor?” Gilda asked. “He’s like the strongest pony within the royal guards, and you think you can beat him?”

“I killed a dragon didn’t I, I’m sure I can handle him without any problems what-so-ever.” I said as I lifted my new god arc onto my shoulders. “When I use a stun grenade, you two make a break for it.” I walked outside of the cave to see the royal guards looking at my right arm. Most of them were either shocked to see it, or were afraid that it might be contagious if they touched it.

“Are you the pony by the name of Ruby Garnet?” The unicorn named Shining armor asked.

“I am her yes, what do you dorks want?”

“You and your friends are to come with us to Princess Celestia.”

“What for?”

“She would like to speak with you about what you did to that dragon, not only that but she would to ask you why you attack my sister and her friends.”

“And yet she could of just come here herself as me why I defended myself from those six idiots, but instead she sent her knights.”

“The Princess is very busy ruling over the kingdom of Equestria.”

“Yet she had enough time to organize a group of knights to come here instead of herself. Hate to break to you shiny butt, but I’m not going with you.” Just as I was about to go back into the cave, Shining armor placed his hand onto my shoulder.

“I’m afraid I can’t let you leave kid, the princess order us to bring you and your friend with us.”

“Then she should of got up from her lazy ass, and come here herself if that was the case.” As I said that, all the guards gasped when I insulted their princess. Most of them looked like they were about to kill, as some of them were about to charge at me. That when Shining Armor ordered them to halt.

“Is there anyway we could persuade you to come with us? You and I both know you don’t want to shed anymore blood like you did with the dragon the other day right?” Dude got a point, I would prefer not to waste any of my combat gear on him.

“Under a few conditions. One, we are pardon from any crimes that we may have committed. Two, you give Trixie a new mobile home that can fit me, her and Gilda. Three, you tell your Princess to come to me face to face the next time she wishes to speak with me.” I then extended my hand out towards him in agreement. “Do we have a deal then?”

“Deal.” He said as he return shook my hand. “Now then shall we head off to Canterlot then?”

“Give me a minute.” I then called out for Trixie and Gilda to come out of the cave. At first they were hesitant to come out, but after seeing me act all buddy buddy with Shining Armor they decided to come out. “Ok now we’re ready.”

“Good then let us leave then, MEN MOVE OUT!!” He yelled as we walked off towards the path that lead us towards the Castle, that I saw yesterday.
