Chapters Prologue: Good-bye my friends
[Ruby’s POV]
"It was suppose to be a scouting mission.....how did it turn out like this? "
Was all I could think of while running as fast as I could from the bloody massacre. It was all my fault. All my friends were killed by Aragamis because of my fear and being so careless. We were not prepared for this. Especially me since I was the least experienced out of my friends. Memories of how I met my friends, from us achieved our God Arc's, to how we fought together in our first mission, and our first Type 1 Deusphage flashed across my mind.
“How could the Director do this to us? How could he send 4 unprepared soldiers ike us to scout and find Venus and Caligula? Why did are leader leave us when we spotted Venus?”
All of this was overwhelming. I stopped after seeing the memories of my fallen comrades flash before me. Tears began to blur my vision as I fell to my knees and let out loud wails of agony of not only the realization of what happened to my friends being gone, but the fact that I was all alone. Even if I went back, nothing could change that. I would end up alone either way.
“First my parents...and now my friends. How could this get any worse?”
While I was sitting there I felt something wet hit the top of my head. I thought it was rain until I heard a low growl. I slowly turn around and with fear in my heart, I saw it was Caligula hovering above me with blood dripping from its fangs from the "meal" he had earlier. I rolled to the left and countered its attack with an Oracle Bullet before the beast could’ve attack me with its hidden blade. Before I could do anything to Caligula, the wall in front of me exploded, leaving debris everywhere and revealing Venus running towards me. I was able to activate my shield and defend myself from her upcoming attack. At least my fast reflexes were helpful for something. When Venus and my shield collided, I was thrown through the air before feeling five to six walls of solid concrete crash through my body. I would normally be able to handle something like that if it was from a Quadriga since they aren't that strong. However, seeing as how it's a new evolution of Aragami, it was twice as strong which means me hitting the walls only made things twice as worse.
I was then flung through the window after my body went through the sixth wall as I began to fall out of a building I was running and hiding in. I turned on my God Arc into a gun and shot an Oracle Bullet at myself in order to slow the speed of me falling to the ground down. Unfortunately, the gun didn't help me with my landing as I fell through the top of a rusty old car.
“The universe just loves to fuck around with my life, doesn't it?" I grumbled trying to pull myself out of the car. As soon as those words left my mouth, Venus and Caligula jumped down to where I was. "Yep the universe loves to fuck around with me." I was able get out of the car with the help of an Oracle bullet pushing me. Just as I was running out of the vehicle, the two Aragamis landed on the car, crushing it. The only thing I could do was run, seeing how the equipment I have couldn't break through Venus' and Caligula's armor-like skin. Going up against an enemy that no one knows about, especially someone with indestructible armor, is suicidal. With the weapons I have, I knew I wasn't going to stand a chance in beating them. I'd be lucky if I even survived!
As I was thinking of plans of trying to escape, a sudden particle of light passed by my vision. I looked around to find the source of the light and saw a bright ball of plasma energy forming in front of Venus. My eyes widened as Venus fired two beams at me. "Holy Mother of-" Was all I was able to say before getting hit by the beam that sent me flying through the air and into a rusty metal wall. I slide to the ground on my back as blood ran down my eye from an open wound on the side of my head. My vision was blurry from the hit I took as I slowly stood up. My entire body screamed in pain, but I ignored it and began limping away. I activated the S.O.S beacon, hoping for someone, anyone, to come and save me. Unfortunately, because of me being out of range, I knew it would be useless
I was limping backwards, almost losing my footing. I looked behind me to see the edge of a cliff and a dark abyss. The abyss was so dark, that not even the sun could brighten it. I continued looking in the darkness, forgetting about my current situation. That is, until Caligula and Venus started walking towards me. Caligula had his hidden blades out and in a crouching position while Venus charged for another attack.
“At this point, I have three options. The first option would be to go out guns a blazing like how people do in the movies. The second option is to stand here like a dear in headlights and get what's coming to me. Or the third option; fall to my death," I muttered to myself looking at my situation. I let out a sigh of defeat, knowing that the first option wasn't my style. I know it would hurt like hell if I stood here like a deer and waited for my demise, but I'd pretty much like to have my organs inside of me and not splattered all over the ground.
"Ricky.....Anna....Mai.....Johnny.....I'm sorry that I got you all killed because of my fear. I wouldn't blame you if you all hated me...." I limped backwards even further towards the edge. "I'm sorry that all I could do was just stand there and do nothing when Caligula ate you, sister Ricky." I take one last look at the Aragami that was ready to attack me. "And above all else, I'm sorry that.....that I couldn't say good-bye." Tears ran down my face as I softly smiled, leaning backwards and falling into the endless abyss.
'I know it's too late to say this, and I don't know if any of you will hear me, but I'll say it again......Good-bye, my friends....' Ever so slowly, my vision was covered by blackness, waiting for everything to be over. 'What will happen to me when I die?.....Will someone remember me.....or will I be forgotten....I guess it doesn't matter now seeing how the director can replace recruits like me anytime.' The only thing I felt was my body hitting something hard, a tremendous amount of pain, and then, nothing.
Mission 1: Let's be friends
[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."
Mission 2: Let's go kill a dragon
(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.
Mission 3: Battle of the God Eater
(Ruby P.O.V.)
"GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE TWEEP!!!" Said the rainbow hair pegasus flying after me. Really? Does she expect me to wait for her to catch up to me? "Yeah sure like I'll listen to a technicolor freak like you." That pretty much struck a nerve when I looked behind me and saw her face turn red. "Yep that got her mad, now let's see if we can make her crash into something?" I looked around the empty cave to see what I can use to give me an uphill advantage. To my surprise I saw a cracked fragile wall up ahead, If I remember correctly she's too mad to notice what's going on. So if I use one of my flash grenade then, she'll smash right into that wall like a cartoon characters in those old show I watch back at home.
I pulled out one of my flash grenade, and threw it into the path of that rainbow hair pegasus. A loud bang was made as a bright light filled part of the cave I was in. Normally I would’ve cover my eyes from the light, but seeing how I'm use to using it at close range on the aragami's it pretty much did nothing to me. When I looked behind me I saw the pegasus cover her eyes, and went past me towards the crack in the wall.
*BAM!!!*
As the light faded away, I looked over to my left to see the cyan pegasus stuck in the wall like you see would in cartoons. I walked over to the other side of the wall, I couldn't help but laugh at the way she was trying to get herself out of the wall. "You may be fast kid, but when it comes to thinking your not the smartest one are you?" I said with a smug grin on my face. The cyan pegasus face was hot red when I said that, and was struggling to try to get herself out. Normally I would of played with her a little bit more, but when I heard her friends voices in the distance. I pretty much had to run off deeper into the cave where Trixie and Gilda were at gathering whatever bits my portable storage unit can hold.
(Third Person POV)
"Is that all the bits & gems we could get?" Asked Gilda.
"Indeed that is all Trixie was able to fit in this storage thing Ruby gave us." Trixie replied. "I have to admit this thing would of been quite useful, if somepony made this."
"Yeah well let's just hurry up and get out of here." Said Gilda putting the portable storage on her back. "Celestia knows we don't want those losers to catch up to us."
Just as the two were about to leave, Ruby jolted past them and hit the wall behind them. "Ow....ugh.....I'm starting to wish I was a human, how can you ponies run with just stubby legs?"
"Aren’t your ‘stubby legs’ the same as a pair of human legs you showed us?" Gilda asked.
".....Touche, anyway we better get out of here fast." Said Ruby picking herself up from the floor.
"Trixie is guessing that the mane 6 are heading this way?"
"That and one pissed off pegasus that's on her way to kill me after what I did to her. You got my storage unit?" Ruby asked. Gilda handed over Ruby's storage unite to her. "Ok let's see what I have in here," She said looking through her storage for something to set a trap for the six ponies following them. "HA! Found it!"
"Found what?" Asked Gilda.
Ruby pulled out two of her stun traps. "My stun traps that I used on that manticore thing yesterday.”
"Trixie is wondering what you are planning to do with those?"
"Oh just setting a trap for are‘friends’ that's all." Ruby said with grin on her face as she laid the two stun trap on the ground. "And relax this won't kill them, it'll just trap them here long enough for us to escape."
"You think that will work?" Asked Gilda.
"Well it better then waiting here for them to find us." Said Ruby as she planted the trap underneath the ground they were standing on. "Now come on let’s get going." With that the trio ran off deeper into the cave in an attempt to escape the six ponies chasing after them.
A good amount of time has pass as Ruby, Gilda, and Trixie made it to the end of the other side of the cave. So far Ruby was the only one that wasn't tired from the endless running. Thanks to the training she went through back during boot camp and the battle simulations she was pretty much in somewhat perfect shape. Her new friends on the other hand or hoof were pretty much tired, sweaty, and gasping for air as they both collapse on the ground.
"Y....You think...we lost them?" Asked Gilda.
"Trixie.....is too tired......to even look back.....but I am hoping we......did."
"Wow you guys really need to work out more." Ruby said as both Gilda and Trixie gave her a deadpanned look. "What? You guys were egging on me about my flying so why not get you back."
"Oh whatever." Gilda said as she pick herself up. "Anyway you think those traps of yours work?"
"I hope so, I know that it should trap four of them at least." Ruby said as she put her god arc on her back.
"Trixie suggest that we should leave before something else happens."
"Oh please, it'll take them at least an hour or two to get out of the traps I set."
"Have you ever tested it on ponies with magic before?" Asked Gilda.
"No, but it's not like they can teleport or anything." Just as Ruby finish her statement a flash of purple light appeared in front of the trio. As the light dimmed the six ponies that were chasing them, were standing in front of them.
"Hi!" Said Pinkie Pie as she waved her hand at the runaway trio.
"Well look who's wrong!" Yelled Gilda.
"Shut it there's always room for error." Said Ruby.
"Ok now that we caught up to you three, care to explain why you killed that dragon." Said Twilight.
"Care to explain who you 6 ponies are?" Asked Ruby.
"Oh well my name is Twilight Sparkle."
"I'm Applejack."
"I don't see why we have to tell her our names, but if it make you guys feel better my name is Rainbow Dash."
"My name is Rarity, and I have to say I do love your sense of fashion that your wearing."
"I....I'm fluttershy."
"And I'm Pinkie Pie nice to meet you weird pony carrying a giant sword." Said Pinkie Pie getting up close to Ruby's face.
"Well.....nice to meet you all I guess."
"Now care to tell us who you are, and why you’re with Gilda & Trixie?" Asked Twilight.
"Well my name is Ruby Garnet newest member of the west branch of Fenrir branch God Eaters." Ruby said as she saluted to the six ponies. Gilda snickered a bit at the way Ruby saluted, while Trixie face palmed herself at what Ruby was doing. "And to why I'm with there’s two chuckle heads behind me? Well to make a long story short I saved them from a thing called a manticore, and we became friends afterwards."
"Ok that answers my first question, but I have a few more questions."
"And those are?"
"What the hays a God Eater?" Asked Applejack.
"Ugh I really hate repeating myself, but seeing how I'm in a good mood I'll explain who and what is a God Eater."
(A few hours later of explaining what's a god eater is.)
(Ruby's P.O.V)
"And that pretty much who I am and what a god eater is in a nutshell." I said finishing up my story and stuff. God I hate repeating myself over and over again, but then again I'm talking to a bunch of ponies that never heard of us god eaters so yeah. Anyway after I finish my story about how I got here and what I am, the expressions on their faces were pretty much a mix.
"So you’re a soldier from another world?" Asked Twilight.
"Pretty much yeah." I said rolling my eyes. I mean really, doesn't she notice the god arc on my back.
"Oh please she obviously lying," said Rainbow Dash zooming right in front of me, I mean really hasn't this girl ever heard of personal space? "I mean really you’re suppose to be god eater that kills these things called oragami's? I bet you stole that weapon from Canterlot or something."
Great hot headed and stupid, as if I didn't had to deal with those protesters back at home. "Weather you believe or not I couldn't care less, now if you don't mind my friends and I are leaving." Just as I was about to leave with my new friends and the loot from the dragon's cave, I felt something pulling on my left hand. To my surprise it was a rope swung by the orange country pony named Applejack.
"And just where do you think you’re going partner?" Asked Applejack.
"Um leaving, where else?"
"You can't just leave after what you did to that dragon, you can't be left to wander around Equestria." Said Twilight "I mean for all we know you might end up attacking somepony with that thing on your back." I'm not gonna lie I would attack someone with it, unless they prove to be a threat on someone else that is. But then again don't wanna be accused for murder so I might as well not use my god arc on them.
"Really even after I told you that the dragon attack me first."
"Taking a life is wrong, you could of just run away from the dragon." Said the pony named Fluttershy. I Shifted my gaze at her which cause her to hide behind Twilight. "Yeah cause that dragon would let of me go without any problems what-so-ever." I said sarcastically. I mean really if I read anything about how predators and prey relationships, is that the predator will always chase down their prey no matter what.
“I if I did run away that dragon would of burned down that village over there." I said pointing over at the village, how the hell do these ponies survive this long without getting killed?
"Be that as it may your coming with us." Said Twilight.
"Oh really?" I said tugging on the rope cause Applejack to stagger a bit. "And what will you do if I say no then?"
"Then will take you in by force if we have to!"
With that Rainbow Dash came charging at me at full speed, you think she would of learned her lesson after what happen in the cave. So like last time I pulled out flash grenade and threw it towards the ground causing everyone besides me to cover my eyes. I pulled out my god arc and cut the rope that the country bumpkin had lassoed onto my left arm. With my arm free I switch my god arc to gun mode, normally if they were aragami's I would of kill them on spot. Then again I don't want to be criminal, so I lower the frequency of my gun and fire two stead: :normal bullets at Rainbow Dash and Applejack. The bullets made contact with the two causing them to be pushed back, to my surprise the bullet should of paralysis them both but is seems to only affect the bumpkin.
“Well that's one down five to go." I said switching my bullet casing.
"What did you do to her?" Asked Twilight.
"She not dead she's just paralysis, though I am surprise that the cyan pegasus was able to withstand the Stead bullet."
"Ha! you think a little lightning can stop me?" She said dashing towards me again. This pegasus named....Rainbow Dash was it? She Isn't the smartest one out of the group.
"No but you should cool off a bit miss hot head." I fired Frost: :H_laser at her as she dodge it like it was nothing.
"Ha you missed loser."
"Really now?" I said with a cocky grin on my face. "Then you might want to look behind you."
"You think you can trick me with the old look out behi-." Before she could finish her sentence, the laser beam that she thought she dodge hit her from behind. Wow she really isn't the smartest pony in the group if she fell for that. Just as I was about to throw a stun trap at her, a lavender shield like bubble was surrounding the unconscious pegasus. I looked over to my left to see Twilight's horn glowing, I guess she's the one that summon the shield around her friend.
"You know it's not too late to give up and go home." I said hoping that they would take my offer.
"And let you walk around Equestria and hurting innocent ponies," Her horn started to glow even brighter. "not on your life." In a blink of an eye a lavender color beam was heading towards me, with quick thinking I activated my shield to block the oncoming attack.
"*sigh* Look stupid I only killed that dragon because it attack me, what's the big deal it's not like he was your friend or something?"
"Taking another life is wrong even if it was for self defense, you could of talked your way out of it."
".....We're you dropped on your head when you were a child or something?"
"........."
"Cause if you were then you must be even stupider then your friend Rainbow Crash."
"Hey! don't you dare talk about Rainbow Dash like that you meanie!" I looked over my shield to see the pink pony with a sky blue cannon with her. If I remember correctly back in old times people used cannons like that during the medieval ages, and if I was right after seeing videos of their destructive powers then I was dead as fuck. I tried to move out of the pink pony's range of fire, but I was pretty much stuck due to the magical beam caused by Twilight.
"Take this!" She said as she fired her cannon at me.
"Oh this is so gonna hurt." I mentally said as I closed my eyes waiting for the impact to hit me. But to my surprise when I open my eyes I was cover in party streamers and confetti. Really? Freaking confetti what is with these ponies, if they were on earth with this kind of battle skills they would be aragami food by now. As my brain was rebooting itself back up, a rock came out of no where and hit me right in the head.
"Ow! Who the-. I looked behind to see so the marshmallow unicorn behind me levitating a bunch of rocks around herself.
“You uncooth ruffian how can you kill a helpless dragon like it was just a helpless little filly?" She said hitting me with another gem to the head. I have to give her credit for sneaking up on me, but damn that rock hurts like hell. If she keeps hitting me in the head like that, then this could be a problem.
"Look I told you before he attack *smack* me and I defended *smack* myself, what you want me to do run and. *smack* STOP HITTING ME YOU DUMB @#&#$!!!!"
"This won't end well."
(Third P.O.V)
"Are you seeing this?" Asked Gilda.
"Trixie can not believe what she is seeing, but she is not believing it."
"Should we do something?"
"Trixie believes we should, but she doesn't have a plan at the moment."
"Well we gotta think of something fast, I mean look at her." Gilda said as she pointed at Ruby being chased by Rarity.
"How dare you call me a $%#@& you ruffian!" Yelled Rarity chasing after Ruby while throwing more rocks at her.
"Oh god not the rocks!"
"......Trixie has an idea on how to help her."
"And what is that?" Asked Gilda raising an eyebrow.
Tired, bruised, bleeding, hopped up on adrenaline, and possibly have a head concussion. Ruby was pretty much reaching her limits as she was cornered against the edge of the mountain. As the four ponies slowly walked towards her, Ruby switch her god arc from gun mode to blade mode. "I have to give you credit, for a bunch of tree loving ponies you put up a decent fight."
"You’re cornered Ruby, surrender now and I might be able to lower your sentence with Princess Celestia." Said Twilight charging her horn.
"Ok Ruby think. Four enemies, 3 who can hit you from a distance, and 1 who if pushed might beat the crap out of you." Just as she was about to make her move, Ruby notice Trixie in the background making weird body movement saying "Get into the air." "Yeah I would if I could but I have a bunch of pissed off ponies right in front of me. Dammit there's gotta be a way to-." Just before she could finish her thoughts, an idea came into her head.
"Well, do you surrender?"
"Not by a long shot." Ruby pulled out another flash grenade, and slammed it onto the ground causing the four ponies to cover their eyes again. Ruby launched herself into the air with the help of her god arc. While in the air she notice Gilda flying at her telling her to put your hands up. She did as she was told and put a hands into the air, and Gilda grabbed them.
"What took you so long!?" Yelled Ruby.
"Hey, you seemed to be able to handle yourself fighting them." Gilda answered. "Plus it was funny watching that white unicorn pelting you with rocks." Gilda & Ruby landed where Trixie was just as the light from flash grenade disappeared. The four ponies uncovered their eyes, and saw that the pony named Ruby was missing.
"Where did she go?" Asked Rarity.
"I don't know, but stay on your guard girls." Said Twilight with her horn glowing. "She could still be here in the area, and might be hiding somewhere." While the four ponies search the area for the pony, Ruby peeked her head over the rock she and her friends were hiding behind.
"Ok so now what?" Asked Ruby still looking over the rock she was hiding behind.
"The Great And Powerful Trixie will teleport us out of here." Said Trixie giving off a short victory pose.
"Ok....Why didn't you teleport us out of here sooner?"
"Trixie couldn't help but laugh at you getting pelted on by that white unicorn, plus it's kinda hard to teleport when you are moving around."
"Whatever let's just go before we get-." Before Gilda could finish her sentence, the rock they were hiding behind was moved. "Caught."
"There you are!" Said Twilight. "Now surrender or else."
"Eat binding trap nerd!" Ruby yelled throwing a binding trap at Twilight's face. At first it didn't do anything, but after a few seconds the lavender aura that coated the giant rock disappeared and the rock fell back onto the ground. "Wow didn't think that would work."
"You mean you threw whatever that thing was without even knowing it would work?" Said Gilda.
“Yep.”
"....I'm not even gonna question it, but anyway Trixie get us out of here."
"Trixie is working on, she needs a few more seconds to build up some more magic."
While Trixie was building her magic, Ruby saw something coming at her from the corner of her eyes charging at her. "You’re not going anyway chumps." Said Rainbow Dash.
"Shit!" In a state of panic instead of using her god arc to block the oncoming attack, she used her right arm with her god arc bracelet to block the attack. As the attack made contact with Ruby's bracelet, Ruby was sent flying off into a boulder.
"Ha taste the rainbow loser!"
(Ruby's P.O.V)
"D...Dammit I thought she was knocked out." My vision was getting blurry and it felt like I was gonna pass out, that is until I felt a sharp pain coursing through my right arm. Some of my vision came back as I saw my god bracelet damage/broken.
[God arc bracelet has been damage, contamination of Corruption of God Eater is imminent. Requesting immediate repair before corruption spreads.]
"Oh great." Just as I was about to try and pull myself up, that rainbow color jerk landed right in front of me with a cocky grin on her face.
"Thought you take out the great Rainbow Dash? Well guess again chump."
"Rainbow what the hay was that for?" Said Twilight.
"Hey she started it, plus she was mopping the floor with us."
"Yeah but you could of nearly kill her at the rate you were flying, I mean really ever heard of-." Before she could finish her sentence, my arc bracelet started up again.
[God arc bracelet has been damage, contamination of Corruption of God Eater is imminent. Requesting immediate repair before corruption spreads.]
"Huh?" Twilight was wondering where that noise was coming from, she looked down at me and notice something odd about my right arm.
"Who said that?" Asked Rainbow Dash getting into a defensive stance. "Show yourself!"
"Rainbow it came from her arm." Said Twilight pointing at my bracelet.
[God arc bracelet has been damage, contamination of Corruption of God Eater is imminent. Requesting immediate repair before corruption spreads.]
"This can't be good, we need to get to ponyville hospi-." Before Twilight could finish, Gilda swooped in from the side and grab Ruby by her tail. "What the!?"
"Nice work Gilda, Trixie is amazed that you can carry us both."
"Just teleport us out of here! You two are heavier than I thought you would be."
"Are you calling The Great and Powerful Trixie fat?"
"Whatever just teleport us out of here for Luna's sakes!"
"Fine, but Trixie is not done talking about this." Just as she was instructed to do. Trixie's horn glowed bright, and with a blink of an eye the three of us vanish within seconds. After that everything faded into darkness, and I fell unconscious.
(Third Person)
"What the, where did they go?" Asked Rainbow Dash.
"I don't know," Twilight answered "But they couldn't have gotten that far with the injury Ruby has."
"Then what do we do now?" Asked Rarity. "We just can't let her roam free after what she did to that poor dragon."
"We're not Rarity. We'll come back after we inform Celestia of what happen, then return with a search party to find her along with Trixie and Gilda."
"Why not now?" Asked Rainbow Dash. "By the time we return they would be long gone by now."
"Darling in case you haven't notice, but some of us are either injured or unable to move." Rarity pointed a hoof at Applejack, who was still paralyzed from Ruby's stead: :normal bullet.
"You guys take care of Applejack, I'm going on a head and finding them." Before anypony could say anything Rainbow Dash flew into the air towards the Everfree Forest.
"Rainbow Dash wait!" Yelled Twilight. "Ugh why does she always do this?"
"We'll go after Rainbow Dash later," Said Rarity levitating Applejack onto her back. "Right now we need to get Applejack to the hospital quickly."
(Mysterious Cave)
"Ugh....my head," Said Gilda pulling herself up from the floor. "I'm starting to remember why I hate magic so much."
"This is what happens when you rush magic, you should be lucky that you’re still intact."
"Whatever at least we got away from those dweebs with the loot we got from that dragon."
"Trixie agrees with you on that, but do we do now?"
"We'll have to lay low for a while until the heat cools down, so until then let's just hide in this cave till th-." Before Gilda could finish her sentence, they hear a mysterious echoing in the cave.
[God arc bracelet has been damage, contamination of Corruption of God Eater is imminent. Requesting immediate repair before corruption spreads.]
"Who said that?" Asked Gilda.
"Trixie thinks the voice came from Ruby's bracelet." Trixie answered. "Something tells me that it
got damage during the fight with Twilight and her friends."
"Ok so what does it mean by corruption?"
"Weren't you listening yesterday? It means she'll turn into those aragami things she told us about."
"Oh hell, well what do we do?"
"Trixie doesn't know what to do, Ruby never did tell us what to do if something like this happens."
"Look through her inventory bag thing and see if there's anything that can help us."
Trixie levitated Ruby's storage unit, and started to look through it. Upon her surprise there was a medical book with the title "Cure's & Ailments." "Trixie has found something that might be able to help Ruby's ailment."
"Well what is it?" Trixie levitated the book at Gilda for her to see. "Ok so does it say anything about what Ruby has?"
Trixie open the book and start to read through the table of content to see how to fix Ruby's god arc bracelet. "Ha! Trixie has found it!"
"What does it say?" Asked Gilda.
"Hm says here that in order to fix her bracelet there are few ways on doing it, but unfortunately we don't have any aragami creatures in equestria."
"Damn, anything other options in there?"
"No it pretty much just says we need aragami parts, and a pony who engineering in bio tech."
"Where in tartarus are we suppose to find somepony who engineers in this kind of crap? Can't you just use a spell to make her all better or something?"
"Magic doesn't work that way you simpleton. You can't just simply use a healing spell and poof you're all better, it takes time and practice for that to work. Time that we don't have at the moment."
"Well think of something dammit. If she turns into an aragami, then she'll be coming after us for food."
[60 seconds until corruption takes over.]
"And we only got about 60 seconds left before shit starts hitting the fans."
Trixie continue to read the chapter on how to repair a god arc bracelet. So far it only contain some instruction on how to repair it with certain tools, but due to Equestria lacking little to no advance technology the book was almost completely useless. That is until Trixie notice something in the chapter that could save their injured friend. "Trixie has an idea!"
"Oh? And what would that be Ms Great and Powerful Trixie?" Said Gilda sarcastically.
"In this chapter it says that we have to fuse her god arc with the damage bracelet on her hoof."
"How are we suppose to do that without that fancy technology thing that book says we need?"
"Simple my less intelligent friend. I have a spell that allows me to fuse certain items with anypony."
"And you didn't tell me this earlier why?"
"Well you didn't ask Trixie if she knew any spells that can do that."
"......You know what forget it. I'm not even gonna argue with you about this, just do the spell on her."
"With pleasure, now where is her god arc?"
"Ruby's still holding it in her hooves, I'm surprise she can hold onto it after the beating she took."
"Stand back!" Said Trixie as she pushed Gilda to the side. "Watch in awe as The Great and Powerful Trixie does her magic!" Trixie's horn started to glow as a arcane circle appeared underneath the unconscious Ruby.
"Idiot."
(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.
Mission 5: Challenge Accepted
(Canterlot Royal Throne Room)
[Ruby’s POV]
After one long ass trip through the woods, a pit stop in a town called ponyville, and a ride on the friendship express. (god that sounds corny as hell to say) We finally made to Canterlot Castle, where these so called princesses live. I have to admit. This is kinda neat and fancy and all, but I prefer living in a place where I could be comfortable and not full of royal crap. Anyway before I lost track Gilda, Trixie, and I were standing in front of this unicorn with wings called Princess Celestia. I’ll say this much, I don’t trust her….at all.
“So you must be this Ruby Garnet Twilight Sparkle was talking about correct?” She asked. God, there’s something about her that I don’t like. Just need to figure out what the hell it is first.
“Yep that’s me lady.”
“Would you care to explain why you killed that dragon, and attack my faithful student along with her friends?”
Dammit! I was hoping I wouldn’t have to explain myself. Was hoping that nerd would of told her about who I was and why I did what I did…...Fine I might as well explain who I am…..I’m starting to hate repeating myself. So once again I explain to her who I am, what I was, how I ended up here, and why I killed that dragon and attack her student along with her friends. After explain what happened, the look on Celestia face was….kinda mix.
“So…...you’re not actually a pony, but a human that got changed into one upon your death on your home planet?”
“That correct.”
“Forgive if I sound rude or anything, but your story seemed farfetched for me to believe you.” Are you kidding me? Do you not see the giant god arc on my back?
“Really? Do you not see the god arc on my back?” I then showed her my arm to at least try to prove my point. “Do you not see my somewhat infected arm caused by that rainbow color jerk that attack me?”
“You could be lying and just made the story up.”
“Oh whatever you royal brat.” I said which caused everypony including my friends to gasp….wait did I just say everypony?
“Excuse me?”
“You heard me you brat. I don’t really care if you believe me or not, but that doesn’t mean you can ignore the fact that I have piece of tech that’s far advance than anything you. Not only that but if you trust your so called faithful student after fighting me, then you are an idiot to the highest degree.” After say my statement to her, I heard three smacking sounds. I didn’t even need to look behind me to know that it was Gilda, Trixie, and that Shining Armor pony. Something tells me I just fucked up…..big time.
“You do realize you just insulted the princess of Equestria right?” Whispered Shining Armor.
“Your point? Just because you have some fancy title, doesn’t mean jack to me.” I then removed my god arc from my back, and pointed it at her. “You’re not my leader. So why should I be afraid of someone who just sits on her throne and does nothing, while her soldier do the work she could of done herself?”
“You little snot nose brat, show some respect for the princess!” Yelled one of the guards as he was getting ready to charge at me.
“Why don’t you make b****?” That pretty much triggered him to charge at me. Just as he was about to sucker punch me in the face, I stopped it with my former arm, grabbed him by the horn, and slammed him onto the floor leaving a small crater on the floor. “Don’t ever underestimate a god eater you old fart.”
“Ruby what the buck!?” Said Trixie.
“What? He started it. Plus it’s not like the princess is going to let us go after what I told her about me. So what’s the point in trying to be the nice guy?”
“You could of let him beat the crap out of you.” Said Gilda. “That way we could of gotten off easy.”
“And hand over my god arc to her? I think not. I would rather die than to hand it over to her and let her do god knows what to it.” It’s true if there’s one thing that you never do, is hand over your god arc to anyone. Mostly cause the aragami cells would devour said person due to it not matching yours, that and it would be like giving a monkey a shotgun.
“Yeah but still, how are you gonna get us out of this mess?”
“I got this guys, don’t worry.” Truth be told I had no plan what-so-ever, but seeing how they aren’t so up to date with technology I decided to gamble my luck on what I was going to say. “I Ruby Garnet challenge Princess Celestia to a dual.” This pretty much took everypony by surprise, especially when I saw almost every ponies jaw open in shock...well besides Celestia.
“You’re willing to challenge somepony you have no idea who they are, and what skills they have?” She asked.
“What’s there to know, you’re just a unicorn with wings.”
“Heh, okay then my little pony I’ll accept your little challenge.” Celestia then teleported right in front of me. “If I win you will hand over your weapon, and you will have to learn the meaning of friendship from my faithful student and her friends.”
“And if I win you pardon us of any crimes we may or may not know we committed, give Trixie a new mobile home, and a written & public apology from Twilight Sparkle and her friends.” I said as I extended my hand towards Celestia. “Do we have a deal?” Celestia in turn shook my hand.
“Our battle will take place in one month. For the time being you and your friends will be saying in ponyville on the Apple family farm, seeing how they have extra room for you three and this could be a good way to make some friends.”
Really what’s with her and this friendship crap she’s trying to force down my throat. I mean really trying to force someone to be friends will not make them be friends, they have to do it by themselves just like my sister told me before she died. sigh but I guess I might as well go along with this trying to make friends crap, lord knows I’m gonna regret it later on if I don’t. “Fine but if somepony attacks me, make fun of my right arm, or anything. I’m gonna shove my foot up somepony’s ass.”
(Ponyville)
[Sweet Apple Acres]
“Well…..I think that turned out ok wouldn’t you say?” After I said that I got smack upside my head by Gilda. “Ow! what the hell was that for!?”
“Were you dropped on your head when you were a little filly or something?” Gilda asked. “How stupid are you to do something like that to the Princess of Equestria?”
“Well what was I supposed to do, just sit there like a deer in headlights and act like a good little pony?”
“You could of just handed over your weapon, that might of helped us instead of talking smack to the princess.” Suggested Trixie, I just rolled my eyes to that.
“Like hell I’m gonna hand over my god arc, this is only thing I have left before I ended up dying in my world. I would rather destroy it then let that lazy princess get the hands on it.”
“Well unless you can beat Celestia then you might end up losing that weapon of yours.” Said Gilda as we reached the front door of Sweet Apple Acres. “Anyway Celestia sent a letter to six dweebs that attacked you yesterday. So they should be inside and up to date with what’s going on.”
“Hold on Gilda, let me open the door first.” I said. Gilda backed away from the door, and the moment I open it I ducked out of the way of a rainbow color blur. Figures the rainbow color jerk would do something like that, so while I was under her I delivered a strong punch to the gut. Knocking the wind right out of her and causing her to fall to the ground next to me.
“You really are dumb if you think a sneak attack like that was gonna work.”
“Rainbow Dash what in tarnation are you-.” The moment the country girl saw what was going. Her facial expression change from annoyed to anger. “Oh…..it’s you.”
“Well if it isn’t the country girl from before. So who does it feel to get you ass handed to you by a god eater?” She pretty much said nothing but glared at me. Yep she’s still pissed at me for stunning her with one of my attacks.
“Now girls let’s not do anything barbaric.” Said Rarity, “Though this was to be expected seeing how Rainbow Dash always does the shoot first ask questions later thing.”
“Understatement of the ****ing millennium lady.”
“.........Anyway Twilight would like to meet with you inside.”
“Not happening.”
“Why not?”
“After what you technicolor pegasus friend tried to do to me, you expect me to trust you and go inside the house to meet Twilight Sparkle?”
“Um……..yes?”
“Dumbass.” I mentally said as I sat down on the ground. “If your friend want to talk to me, then she’ll have to come outside and talk to me.”
“*Sigh* Fine. Let me go get her.” Rarity said as she walked back into the house to get her friend.
You know I seen a lot of Sh*t in my life. Seeing my parents and friends die in front of my eyes, getting abused and treated like crap by my foster parent for the past 10 year, almost getting raped by my foster brother, and getting attack by two aragami that you wouldn’t expect to live or survive only to wake up in a world full of anthro ponies…..how the hell did I not kill myself or go insane by all this? A few seconds later. I was brought out of my train of thoughts as the lavender unicorn appeared in front of me.
“I take it you were filled in about what happen in Canterlot?” I asked.
“Celestia sent me a letter about it, she also told us not to harm you or let anypony else not to harm you.” Twilight said as she kneel down towards me. “I also want to apologise for what we did to you when we first met.” Wait what? “It was wrong for us to attack you for defending yourself against a dragon that would of cause a lot of damage, or kill a lot of ponies in Ponyville. Will you be willing to forgive us for what we did?”
“.....You better be lucky I’m the forgiving type.” I said which in turn caused her to smile and hug me. “What the hell are you doing?”
“Hugging you because we’re friends.”
“We’re not friends egghead.”
“But you said-.”
“I said I forgive you, but I didn’t say I would be friends with you. After what happen on the mountain with the dragon, your rainbow color idiot destroyed my arc bracelet.” I rolled up my sleeve showing them my new arm. “And thank’s to that Trixie had to use a spell to prevent any contamination from spreading. Not only that but you pretty almost killed me, just because I defended myself from a dragon which that shy idiot over there was more worried over it then me. Not only that but the marshmallow over there pelted me with rock.”
After hearing me said that most of them had shameful expressions on their faces, well only The Egghead, The Peta pony, and the pink party pony. The others we’re pretty much glaring daggers at me. “Shoot me all the looks you want jackasses, but you know you all were in the wrong.” I then pulled myself up and started to walk inside along with Trixie and Gilda. “The sooner I win the duel with Celestia, the sooner we can leave this place away from you jerks.”
Mission 6: Stay out of my dreams!
[Sweet Apple Acres]
(Night time)
[Ruby’s P.O.V]
Throughout the entire day I was inside the room that belonged to that pony named Applebloom. I was either sleeping, looking outside the window, or making some new gear and clothing out of the stuff I got from the dragon I killed. So far to my surprise I was able to make some pretty good high rank gear from that dumbass dragon. One Forbidden Fireblade, a Ymir+ Shield, and a FFED Assault Flame gun. Man the boys back home won’t believe what I just did. After a few hours of making some new gear and a new outfit for tomorrow, I heard a knock at my door.
*KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK*
“The doors open! You can come in if you want?” I said not really caring if it was that country pony from before. The door open up and standing there was yellow pony with red hair who was wearing a green shirt, blue overalls, and a pink bow on her head.
“Granny Smith wanted me to get you for dinner Ruby.”
“You sure I’m allowed downstairs? Cause so far I only gotten two death threats from your sister and brother, and I doubt they’ll be okay with me eating with them.”
“Granny really want you to join us for dinner, even your friends Trixie and Gilda are downstairs waiting for you.”
“Fine I’ll come downstairs, but if they start a fight with me then be prepare to see them on the floor cover in their own blood.” I said which made her gulp in fear of what would happen if her siblings did start a fight with me. Because really? Who would be stupid enough to pick a fight with a pony who just killed a dragon single handedly.
“N-Noted…..So how old are you?”
“18 years old.”
“Y-Your the three years older then me and my friends, and you were able to take down a dragon!?” Applebloom said with a shock expression on her face. Just to prove I wasn’t lying or anything I pulled out my phone, and showed her the picture of me being on top of the dead dragons head. “H-How did you do it?”
“With this bad boy.” I answered show her my god arc. “10 years of training in the field and fighting monsters will help you when dealing with dragons or something as big as a dragon.”
“Are you in the royal guards?”
“Oh please, the royal guards are a bunch of pansies compare to me. I’m a god eater kid, and we fight monsters five times stronger than any monsters here.” This got her interested that we ended up talking for a while until we made to the dining room. That’s when things got awkward mostly because of the death glares I was getting from the country bumpkins, and the worry look from Trixie, Gilda, and Applebloom. I mean seriously it’s like if I dropped something they would literally attack me on the dot.
“Oh you must be that Ruby fella I heard Applejack and Big Mac been talking about.” More like planning to kill me in my sleep, but I didn’t say anything and just nodded yes. “Well it’s nice to meet yeah, my name is Granny Smith.” She said extended her hand towards me for a shake. I pretty much shook her hand not wanting to disrespect her or anything. “I take you met my grandchildren Applejack, Applebloom, and Big Macintosh right?”
“Yes…..I have.” To be frank I wanted to sucker punch them both for that little threat they gave me earlier, but then again that would make me out to be the bad guy. And lord knows I don’t want to fight them on an empty stomach. “So what are we having for dinner Granny Smith?”
“That Ms. Granny Smith partner.” Applejack said which in turn flipped her the finger while Granny Smith wasn’t looking at me.
“Oh just the usual family food that we eat.” Normally eat? Yeah if you morally obese or a five year old on a sugar high. I mean look at all this food? Apple pie, Apple square, Apple cake, Apple coffee cake, Apple juice (Which I don’t mind drinking), and…...is that apple cider? “Please help yourself to anything you like dearies.”
Well seeing how I’m here I might as well eat. I sat down next to Applebloom and pulled a plate of food in front of me. The moment I sank my teeth into the homemade apple pie…..well let’s just say I started eating almost everyone in the room were shock at how I was eating. Well you can’t blame me for eating so damn fast. You would be hungry to if had gone without food for a day after fighting the Equestria version of the power rangers, and a dragon in one day.
“My, I have never seen any pony eat their food that fast. It’s like you haven’t eaten anything in days.”
“36 hours without food can do that to yeah.” I said while guzzling down some apple juice.
“That and taking down a dragon and a manticore all by yourself.” Said Gilda, which took everyone by surprise, well everyone except Trixie.
“Y-You took down a manticore and a dragon by yourself!?” Asked Applejack. “How are you not dead or injured?”
“I’m a soldier lady. Creature like them are nothing compare to the one’s back at home where I used to live.”
“And where is that?”
“That’s classified.” Truth be told it’s not classified. I just wanna screw around with Applejack after what happen, and I prefer not to fill her in on any personal stuff about me. Lord knows I don’t want Sunbutt to use it on me in battle.
“You’re lying.”
“What makes you think I am lying?”
“I don’t know, but you’re keeping something hidden from us.”
“Maybe it’s because you need to mind your own damn business, and not snoop around into someone else’s business..”
“It is My business when it involves the safety of the farm and my family.”
“Then mind your own business then.”
“Don’t tell me what I can or can’t do kid.”
“One I’m 18 years old, and two look how that turn out for yeah when you fought against me yesterday.”
“You only won because of that fancy weapon of yours!”
“What’s that? I couldn’t hear you with all crap coming out of your mouth.” This cause Applebloom, Trixie and Gilda to snicker a bit from that comment. “Even without my so called fancy weapon . I still can and will beat you without any problems what-so-ever.”
“Why you little-.”
“Now, now girls let’s not fight at the dinner table.” Interrupted Granny Smith as she took a sip from her glass of apple cider. “You can have you little fight after dinner or tomorrow, but for now let’s just enjoy dinner okay?” We looked at each other then back at Granny Smith and nodded in agreement.
“Fine.” We both said as we still glared at each other, and went back to eating. So far throughout the entire dinner service was pretty much idle chatting and awkward silence. After a few minutes of that I decided head back upstairs into my room to get some sleep. Sigh ****ing country bumpkin.You think she would get over the fact that I kicked her ass huh? But no, so far she pretty much hate me along with her friends and brother. Eh at least I’m okay on Applebloom and Granny Smiths list along with Trixie and Gilda so that’s a win in my book.
(Dream world)
My eyes shot open to find myself on the ground in the Wailing Plains. Wait was I back on earth or was I still dreaming? Not that I didn’t mind this place or anything. Mostly because I like this place due to it raining all the time, but it pretty much where I got the parts needed for my god arc. So I decided to see if I was dreaming by looking at my right arm. Yep it’s a dream, otherwise I wouldn’t have a techno arm. I pulled myself up from the ground and decided to look around to see if anything interesting would happen
Talk about memory lane. So far during the few hours i was in this dream I been watching my past self along with my friends finally killing off Arda Nova. It was actually kinda nice really, watching my very first victory as a team. It actually brought a tear to my eye seeing that.
“What is this place?” The moment I heard that was the moment I pulled out my god arc, and turn around to see a midnight color winged unicorn with starlight hair, and was wearing a midnight blue dress.
“Care to explain who the hell are you, and why you’re here inside my head?”
“I am Princess Luna. Co ruler of Equestria and Celestia’s little sister my little pony.” She answered.
“Okay look pony lady just like I told your lazy ass sister, I’m gonna tell you this as well. I am not, repeat NOT anyones subject or little pony got it?”
“We would advise you not to insult our sister Ruby, especially when dealing with some who is of royalty.”
“Just like I told your sister, I don’t care about your title as rulers of Equestria. So far from what I seen your just a pair royal brats that sit in their little castle enjoying the life of luxury, while others are working their asses of. Now tell me why the hell are you in my mind!”
“If you must know Celestia told me about you, and how you wish to challenge my sister to a dual.”
“What of it?”
“We just simply wanted to see if you have any skills to back up your talk, but for some reason we can’t read nor scan your mind besides this place. Why is that?”
“Don’t know, don’t care. Just leave now and stay out of my mind got it?” There are a list of things I hate the most, and someone probing your mind for information is on the top of my list.
“The dream realm is our domain child, you do not have the power to order me to leave.”
“Then I’ll make you leave.” I pulled out my god arc and rushed towards Luna without a second thought. She in return moved out of the way and blasted me with what felt like something that was suppose to bind me or paralyze me, but to her surprise.
“What is the meaning of this? That spell should of binded you to the ground.”
“So I guess I was right about having aragami cells immune to magic.” I thought as I punched her in the face while she was off guard by that. She staggered back a bit as she held a hand to her bruised face.
“H-How are you able to hurt me within the dream realm?” She asked as I lashed at her with my god arc while she dodges. “No pony but tia is able to do that.”
“Like I would tell you anything, now leave or else I’ll rip you to sunder.”
“We do not take orders from you child. You will tell us how you are able to injure us!” She yelled as she moved to the left and shot another magical beam at me, only for me to block it with my shield and hit her with an Frost: :H_laser. The laser shot through her left shoulder as it left a huge hole in it.
“Idiot.” I then shot her with the same oracle bullet in the leg as she fell to the ground bleeding. I then walked up towards her with my god arc aimed at her head. “Are you gonna leave now, or do you want me to keep hitting you until you do leave? Because I have no problems beating the crap out of someone like you.”
“You disrespectful brat, what would your mother say if she new you were acting like this?”
“My mother is dead along with my father. Now leave or else I’ll blast a hole in your head.”
“.......Fine.” She said as she vanished into cosmic dust. “But don’t think this is over between us Ruby, once I tell Celestia about this you will regret ever attacking me.”
[Reality]
(Morning)
My eyes shot open to find myself sleeping on the extra bed in Applebloom’s room. Man it’s been awhile since I slept in a decent bed instead of the bed in the fenrir branch HQ. Upon waking up from my dream with that stupid moon princess I find myself wearing my Desert Tank Top and Desert War Pants. Huh? I guess I was really tired from yesterday cause I don’t remember changing my outfit or anything. But whatever, I just simply shrug and pulled myself up from the bed as I saw Applebloom notice me waking up before she exited the room.
“Oh you’re awake?”
“Yeah…..hey you wouldn’t happen to know of someone named Luna would you?”
“You mean Princess Luna? Everypony knows who she is seeing how she watches over the ponies at night.” Figures much, looks like I can at Luna to the list of ponies that hate me now. “Why you ask? Did you meet her in your dreams?”
“N-no just wondering that’s all. So where are you going?”
“Heading off to Ms.Cheerilee’s class.”
“Wait this place has a school?”
“Well yeah where else do ponies learn stuff besides homeschooling.”
“You make a valid point I guess.”
“You wanna come with me to see what I’m talking about?”
“Might as well seeing how I’m gonna be staying here for a while.” I said as I got of bed and scratched my head. “Okay kid, lead the way.”
“Don’t you wanna freshen up a bit before we go?” She asked as she point at my hair. “Cause you have some really bad bed hair.”
I looked to my left to see a glass of water. I decided to do the lazy man’s way as I poured it on my head, and used my god arc as a blow dryer to dry my hair. And like magic poof hair is fixed like no other. “There now let’s go.”
“.....How did you do that?” She asked looking at my god arc with wonder.
“I’ll explain on the way to school.” I placed my god arc on my back, and begun to walk out the room. “Let’s see what this school of yours is like.”
Mission 8: Your new flying couch
(Nighttime CMC Clubhouse)
[Ruby’s P.O.V.]
You know there are certain things I pretty much dislike. Being the center of attention, getting lectured at by my foster parents, and being targeted because I’m different. Now those I can get over it, but being attack by two certain jackasses from the Elements of Harmony twice…...Yeah if it wasn’t for the fact that I’m friends with the CMC, then I would of wreck them all in less than a few seconds. I mean honestly you think they would’ve learn from before that can’t beat me. Ugh buck it, I don’t care anymore…...wait did I just say buck?
*KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK*
“If that you at the door Applejack, then buck off I’m not in the mood to deal with any of your crap today!”
“It’s us dweeb. Trixie, Gilda, and your fan Applebloom.” Gilda said as she open the door to the clubhouse. “Granny Smith wanted us to bring your dinner, seeing how you didn’t want to have dinner with us due to you and Applejack fighting with each other.”
“To be fair she started when she tried to lasso me in towards her.”
“Either way Granny is talking to Applejack and Big Mac about what happened yesterday and today.”
“Okay…..wait what do you mean by yesterday?”
“Applebloom told Granny Smith about the death threats that Big Mac and Applejack gave to you.” Trixie explained.
“Yeah which kinda got me in trouble with Applejack and Big Mac. They’re giving me the silent treatment.” Said Applebloom sitting next to me. “So I figure I might as well hangout with you seeing how things are getting kinda awkward in the house at the moment.”
“Guess I kinda screw you over huh?” Great looks like I made her siblings piss at her. “Sorry about that.”
“Ah don’t worry about, this wouldn’t be the first time I made them mad like this. Give them about a few days or so to cool down and they’ll be talking to me in no time.”
“Okay.” I said as I notice Gilda and Trixie smiling awkwardly at me…..what the buck? “Care to explain why you two are smiling like a bunch awkward nerd?”
“Well…...um.”
“Twilight came by a few hours ago and wanted you to meet her and the rest of her friend at the library early in the morning.” Said Gilda. I bucking knew it. It’s either to lecture me about what I did to those little brats or to teach me the lesson on friendship.
“Something tells me it’s either because of what I did to those little brats or my lesson on the magic of friendship bullshit.”
“Trixie believe it’s both.”
“Figures much.” I said as I laid back onto my sleeping bag. “Ugh I just wanted to hang out with you and your friends and not to deal with crap like this.”
“Oh come on it can’t be that bad?”
“Gilda I just got a death threat from Applebloom’s siblings, and I was attacked by your former friend and Applejack. How can it not be that bad?”
“Okay you got a point there dweeb, but hey it could’ve been worse.”
“Yeah I guess you’re right on that.” I sighed as I stared out the window looking at the moon. “Ugh I get the feeling tomorrow is going to be a pain in my flank.”
(Morning)
Today was the day I’m suppose to learn about the magic of friendship. Ugh as if this wasn’t a pain as yesterday, now I have to deal with these six idiots teaching me. Dammit now I’m wishing that some kind of monster attacks this town so I can save it. Then again I don’t want them to attack me again so I might as well suck it and get it over with. A few minutes of getting dressed and trying to avoid Big Mac, I started my walk towards Twilight’s house after getting the directions from Applebloom.
“Why do I get the feeling that Twilight lives inside a giant castle?” As if fate answered my question I looked up to see a huge ass castle made of crystals. “Oh buck you fate.” I said as I knocked on the crystal door. I mean seriously where the hell does this bookworm get the money to have a house made of crystals? I knocked on the door again only to get no response, during that time waiting my stomach started to growl. “Oh right I forgot I had to run out of the farm.” Not like I had a choice in leaving, it was either that or fight with Big Mac and lord knows I don’t want to send him to the hospital…...yet.
“It’s a good thing I saved up all that money to buy eight-hundred cheeseburgers.” I said as I reached into my portable storage to reach for one. “Yep, still fresh out of the grill.” I took the wrapping off and started to eat it. “At least I can still eat meat with this pony body.” As I leaned against the door of the castle, I suddenly fell back as the door opened up to reveal a teenage dragon wearing a purple hoodie & baggy pants.
“Oh sorry didn’t hear you knocking on the door there.”
“It’s alright kid. Question who are you?”
“I’m Spike the dragon, I take it you must be Ruby right?”
“I guess Twilight told you about me huh?”
“That and from the conversation she’s been having with the and rest of the girls this morning.”
“Great…..So I take it you heard about what happen with me and the dragon?”
“You kidding me? Almost everypony knows about in the newspaper.” Spike then showed me todays newspaper with me standing on top of the dead dragons head….Wait how the buck did anypony other than those six pony know about this?”
“How the hell did anypony know about this?”
“Somepony was there on the mountain looking for something, when he saw you fought that dragon. I have to say that was pretty cool.”
“Wait you’re not angry or pissed that I killed a dragon?”
“Not really, it’s not like he was my friend or anything. Plus I didn’t even know there was a dragon living in the mountain. So why should I be angry?”
“Apparently your friends are.”
“I’m sure they’ll get over it. Come on, I’ll take you to Twilight and the rest.”
“Ugh…..This is going to be such a pain in my flank. As if it wasn’t bad that they attacked me twice, but know I have to learn “The magic of friendship” from my attackers? Somepony just kill me now.”
“Oh come on, it can’t be that bad?”
“Prepare to be surprised.” A few moment later after following Spike, we made our way to the room where Twilight and her friends were in. The moment Spike open the door everypony in the room stopped talking and glared at me. Well only the country pony, the rainbow maned idiot, and the fashion diva, but the rest just pretty much looked at me.
“Sup.” I said as I took another bit out of my hamburger.
“Oh good you made it.” Said Twilight. “I was worried that you wouldn’t be able to find my home.”
“It’s not that hard to find a huge castle made of crystals in the middle of Ponyville.”
“R-Right, right. Do you want anything to eat? Seeing how you came here this early in the morning, I’m pretty sure you must be hungry right?”
“No thanks I’m already eating.” I said as I show them the burger I’m eating.
“You’re eating a hayburger this early in the morning?” Asked Rarity who looked disgusted.
“The hell is a hayburger?”
“That’s what you’re eating idiot.” Said Rainbow Dash who I flipped the middle finger at.
“This isn’t a hayburger it’s a hamburger.”
“The hays is a hamburger?”
“Take away the hay and replace it with meat simpleton.” Upon me say that their face changed from annoyed to shock. Then again now that I think about it just dawned upon me that I’m in a land full of ponies so they pretty much don’t eat meat.
“Y-You eat meat!?” Asked Fluttershy who was now hiding behind Rainbow Dash.
“Well yeah I been eating meat since I was a kid, why?” Yeah maybe I should’ve taken Twilights offer for breakfast, mostly because I get the feeling that one of them gonna end up telling someone in town about me eating meat.
“H-How can your parents let you eat something like that?” Asked Rarity.
“What’s the big deal?”
“What’s the big deal!? Ponies don’t eat meat!”
“Yeah well I’m not like most ponies.”
“.....You’re sick.” Applejack said looking at me in disgust.
“What’s the big bucking deal it’s not like I’m eating pony meat or anything!” Really? Are these ponies that upset just because I eat meat from other animals?
“Twilight you sure Celestia want us to teach her instead of taking her to the dungeon?” Asked Rainbow Dash.
“Up yours the rainbow color freak!”
“What you call me!?”
“Did I stuttered? I called you a rainbow color freak, got a problem with that?” I asked as I flipped her off.
“Oh you are so-.”
“GIRLS!!! ENOUGH!!!” Yelled Twilight as everyone in the room turned their attention from me to Twilight. “We are not here to judge other ponies about their lifestyle, we are here to talk about teaching her the meaning of the magic of friendship like Celestia asked us to do.”
“Oh joy I get to learn the magic of friendship from you five idiots.”
“Who are you calling a-.”
“Rainbow Dash.” Rainbow Dash turn her attention towards Twilight. “What did I say?”
“..........” Rainbow Dash said nothing but glared daggers at me, which in turn I stuck my tongue out at her.
“Wait why did you say five instead of six?” Asked Twilight.
“Personally I have more respect for you then the rest of your friends seeing how you were sorry for attacking me for no reason on top of that mountain with the dragon. So you’re okay in my book, but for the rest of your friends they are not on the list.”
“Well…...that’s something to take note of. Anyway we’re here to discus about who will be first that will teach you the meaning of friendship. Normally I would teach you first, but seeing how I’m a little bit busy with other stuff I’ll Rarity start first.”
“Oh great I’m stuck with the drama queen?”
“I would refer you don’t call me a drama queen if you would be so kind?” Rarity asked walking next to Ruby. “And yes seeing how nopony else would do it, I take it upon myself to teach the meaning of Generosity and to act like proper lady.”
“........No.”
“Excuse me?”
“I said no.” I said as I started to head towards the door. “I have better things to do then to learn a useless lesson about the meaning of friendship. Not only that but I prefer to learn from someone who isn’t a stuck up snob and a drama queen.”
“I am not a stuck up snob nor a drama queen!”
“There’s a dirty spot on your dress.”
“WHERE!?” She asked looking around her dress to find the stain I told her that was there. Geez this girl has some OCD problems, and not the normal kind but the bad kind. Second after looking over herself she couldn’t find the stain and looked up to give me a death glare.
“Like I said snobbish drama queen.” Before I left the building I take one last look at Twilight. “Feel free to stop by the clubhouse if you want to talk to me Twilight.”
(Ponyville)
“UGH! This bucking sucks!” I mean really is it too much to ask for a normal day without dealing with those idiot? Seriously I been here for what a day or two and they just keep attacking me like I’m some kind of freak or something. If I wanted to be treated like a freak I would of stayed back home with my foster family…...on second thought scratch that, I think I prefer to deal with them then my foster family. Sigh it’s bad enough that my speech is starting to changing, I don’t need a bunch of tree loving hippies attack me. Just try to relax Ruby. Focus on your match with Celestia you’re gonna be having in a month so for now just relax and train.
As I made my way through Ponyville I was getting some rather….questionable looks. My guess is either it’s because of my aragami arm, me killing the dragon, kick those six ponies flank, or what I did to Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. I decided to try something out as I look at the ponies that were looking at me, only to look in different directions while pretending to act like they’re busy. Yep it was because of what I did. I paid that no mind as I head towards a tree to sit down under it.
“Okay so from what I got from my run in with Twilight, her friends, and that bitch of a moon princess that tried to look into my dreams. I can guess that she pretty much as strong as they are seeing how they can use magic and can fly in the air.” I reached my arm for one of my wings to have a good look at them. “Now I gotta figure out how to use these wings to fly. I could always ask Gilda, but I get the feeling she might end up mocking me…..again. No way in hell I’ll beg for teaching lesson from that rainbow color jerk. Crap guess I’m gonna have to learn how to fly by myself then huh?”
“I wouldn’t suggest doing that kid, it doesn’t always end well for those who try to do it themselves.” Said a mysterious coming from above me. I looked up to see a yellow pegasus with orange & yellow mix mane wearing a light blue jumpsuit with a yellow lightning shape on the front. “So you’re the pegasus that everypony from Canterlot. Hard to believe that you’re the one that fought a dragon and survived.”
“If that’s how the monsters are like here, then that dragon was nothing compared to the stuff back home.” I said as I pulled myself up from the ground.
“Really now?” Spitfire was circling around me looking at me up and down like I was something that interested her. I don’t weather I should be worried about this or not, but at least she’s not attacking or think I’m some kind of freak. “Tell me, do you know how to fly?”
“No.”
“But you’re a pegasus, every pegasus should know how to fly when they’re just a little filly or foal. Didn’t you have some kind of school that taught you how to fly, or at least your parents?”
“I prefer not to talk about that.”
“Well guess what missy, you’re going to be taking flight lessons.”
“From who?”
“From me Spitfire, leader of the Wonderbolts.” She said as she floated behind me and touched my left wings. “Geez what have you been doing to your wings? These feathers are covered in dirt and…..blood!? When was the last time you preen them or take a bath?”
Huh, now that I think about it I haven’t taken a bath since I ended up in this technicolor world of sunshine and rainbows. Taking a good look at my wings I guess she was right. “I don’t know what preening is, and for the bath thing I haven’t gotten a chance to take on since I got here. Not to mention with all that happen to me I kinda forgot to do that.”
“That’s no excuse for poor wing management.” Good point I guess. “Starting tomorrow we’re going to get you cleaned up for your flight lesson.”
“I don’t have that much of a choice do I?”
“Not by a long shot.” She said as she took to the sky. “Meet me by the train station in one week for a trip to Canterlot spa. Don’t keep me waiting.” With a wink and a blink of an eye, Spitfire flew off towards Canterlot.
“Well……..That was something I didn’t expect to happen this morning.” I said pulling out my headphones and started to listen to my music. “Well at least I get to go somewhere for free this time, instead of paying for with my own money.” Yeah Ricky would always have me pay off any debt or bill that he or Johnny had when they bought too much stuff from the shop. It took me fifty missions to pay off and to get all my money back…..Sigh …...Dammit Ruby stop thinking about the past, you can’t blame yourself about what had happen. Just move on and try to adapt to the new life you have now…….as an anthropomorphic pony.
(Dream world)
Moments later I made my way back to the CMC’s clubhouse, and decided to take a little nap before I had to help the crusaders on their mission or something else that I don’t know. As I was dreaming I found myself in my in the City of Mercy. Ah dammit another dream about my past, what is it this time?
“Johnny, Ricky. The aragami is heading your way, get ready to take it down!” That voice, it couldn’t be. I turned around to see Anna and Mai chasing after a beat up Chi-You. Oh this mission, I’m not gonna lie but this mission I hate the most. Mostly because I was the new girl on the team and they we’re pretty much dicks towards me, and they pretty much had me be the bait for aragami to chase after while they watch and prepare to kill it.
“We’re on it!” Johnny said as he threw a stun trap at the fleeing Chi-You causing it to freeze. Ricky then jumped from the building he was on and delivered the killing blow to the aragami’s head. “Nice work Ricky.”
“That monster didn’t stand a chance against us. It was a good idea to use the new girl as bait to weaken it a bit.”
“Didn’t think that it would work really. Hey where’s the newbie?”
“She should be here by now. Oh hey, there she is.” Anna said. I turned around to see my former self running to the group catching her breath. I’m not gonna lie, but I was pretty much not the well built soldier out of the group and I ended up being either teased or used at bait for the aragamis. “What took you so long newbie? We were about to send someone to help you if you got lost.”
“Y-You guys, are a bunch of assholes.”
“Hey come on, don’t be like that. You survived didn’t you?” Mai asked in a sarcastic voice. “Plus you got to be useful for once so that should be a win in your book.”
Yep this dream I hate the most…..odd that I would be dreaming of something like this. The last time something like this happened was when…..ugh fucking hell that bitch of a moon princess is in my dream again. I pulled out my god arc, switched it to gun mode, and aimed it at what I could guess was where Luna was standing while hidden from my sight. “I KNOW YOU’RE HERE BITCH! UNLESS YOU WANT A REPEAT OF WHAT HAPPEN LAST TIME, THEN GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY DREAMS!” At first I thought it was Luna that was gonna appear in front of me, but it turned out it was Celestia. And she had a piss off expression on her face.
“Hello Ruby.”
“Oh great so you can do the same thing like Luna did, and go into somepony’s dream.”
“Yes I can. Now care to explain why you attacked my sister last night?”
“She invaded my dream. It’s bad enough I have certain nightmares I don’t need someone going into in my mind a read it.” The only people I will tell about my nightmare and certain parts about my life are my friends. Other than that good luck trying to get me to say anything jerkface.
“It’s her job to help out any pony that is have trouble sleeping or having a nightmare. What you did was an assault on the royal family and I could have you arrested.”
“Then you can add it to the list of things that I’ll be pardon for once we have our little fight in a month.”
“You still think that you can beat me?” She asked chuckling a bit. “Fine I’ll add it to the list of things that you have done. Though I think you might want to give up and accept your punishment.”
“Like I’m gonna lose to a lazy princess like you.” I switch my god arc to blade mode, and aimed it at the sun pony. “Don’t underestimate me princess. I took down a dragon and manticore so taking you down shouldn’t be a problem at all.”
“We shall see my little pony, till then try not to cause too much trouble.”
“As long as they don’t attack me first then you shouldn’t have anything to worry about.”
“I get the feeling that you been getting into a fight with Twilight and her friends have you?”
“Only her friends, she pretty much have the balls to actually say she was sorry for attacking me . I have more respect for her then I do for her friends.”
“That kind of attitude will not get you that many friends.”
“Nether is trying to force friendship onto others, it doesn’t work out so well.”
“Maybe you should change your attitude than?”
“Maybe you should mind you mother-”
(Real world)
Before I could finish my statement. I woke up from my short talk with Celestia from my dream by Applebloom; who had a scared expression on her face. “Hey you okay?” I asked wondering what was up with her. She pretty much pointed to the window as she put a finger to her lips telling me not to say a word. Something tells me that it’s a monster from the everfree forest, so I did and slowly moved to the window and looked outside. The moment I did I was for first time being here surprised at what I saw. Standing outside of the clubhouse was a ogretail covered in blood.
“What the hell!?” I whispered not wanting to let the aragami now somepony was inside. I turn my attention towards Applebloom and motion her to come near me quietly. “Care to explain what the hell that aragami is doing here?”
“I don’t know. Me and the girls were playing outside during recess, when all of a sudden we heard a loud roar and three of those things came out of nowhere and started attacking the school. One of them were trying to eat Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle, but I was able to distract it by hitting it with a rock and have it chase after me.”
“That’s the most stupidest and brave thing you have ever done Applebloom…..nice job kid.” I said while patting her on the head.
“Y-You’re not angry at me for trying to act brave?”
“You didn’t act brave you were being brave. Something that where I come from would be shined upon, that and that’s something I would do if my friends were in trouble. So you pretty much have my respect in my book.” Applebloom blushed at what I said. It was cute when I looked at her doing that, but I had to turn my attention at the ogretail. “So is this the only one that followed you here?”
“That’s the only one that followed me, the others were chasing me but they stopped and went after the ponies in Ponyville.”
Great looks like I have to go after them before somepony get hurt, or those six idiots try to get it out of ponyville. “Okay, I’ll deal with the one here. After that we’re going to Ponyville and see if shit haven’t hit the fans yet.”
“We?”
“Well I can’t leave you alone here, there may just be three but there could be more coming. For now stay here and I’ll deal with this one.” I reached for my god arc and rushed out the door to take care of the aragami. The moment the ogretail saw me it tail was up in the air and fired it’s spike like hairs at me. I activated my shield to protect myself from the attack as I switched to my blade and charged at the aragami.The ogretail charged at me as well, half way through the charge it decided to jump at me like a lion going after it’s prey. When it did that I moved out of the way as it landed where I moved out of the way from. The moment it landed I lunged myself at it and cut at the aragami’s neck just like I did with the dragon killing it upon impact. I turned around to see Applebloom peeking her head from out the window wondering if it was okay for her to come out. I motion to come near me as I placed my god arc next to me for a moment.
“Never thought I see an orgetail here of all places.”
“You think they’re more hiding around?”
“They’re usually stay in a pack or on their own sometimes, but seeing how you told me there were three of them. I’m gonna have to guess they’re more than just three.” I lifted up my god arc along with Applebloom; who I placed on my back. “I need you to hold onto me until we reach the school okay?”
“Are we gonna fly there?” I wish I could fly, but you’ll just have to deal with me running on hooves until I can learn how to fly.
“No, we’re gonna have to run on foot.” I said as I took a running position, and bolted towards Applebloom’s school.
“WHOA!” Applebloom yelled as she held onto me tightly from the sudden burst of speed. Can’t really blame her really, I never did tell her that god eaters able to move fast with help of the oracle cells. A few minutes later we came upon Ms. Cheerilee’s school as we saw two of the orgetail’s that she told me about surrounding the school and eating pieces of it. Not know if I was to late to save them I decided to launch myself
“HANG ON APPLEBLOOM! THIS IS GONNA GET A LITTLE MESSY!” I yelled used my god arc to devour the orgetail eatting at the wall where I can guess Ms. Cheerilee and the kids were in.The other aragami however, I raised my god arc and sliced it in two as it blood poured onto the two of us.
“EW! You could’ve just let me off before you did that you know?” she said giving me a annoyed look as she brush off some of the blood from off her face.
“Sorry about that, didn’t want any of them to get into the school and start eating ponies. Though I’m surprise you’re not scared or terrified by what I just did.”
“You do realise that during our crusading we been chased by monsters from the everfree forest, so stuff like this is what we pretty much go through sometime. But I’ll have to say that seeing something like this is a little bit….unsettling.”
Okay she’s on my list of friends I can get used to have around me, that and her friends. Just as I whipped away the blood from my left eyes, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo tackled me along with the rest of their classmates from inside the school; well besides the two rich ponies. I gonna take a shot in the dark saying that they’re thanking me for saving them from the aragami.
“I knew you would come back with Ruby.” said Sweetie Belle as she released her grip on me and began to hug Applebloom who was still covered in blood.
“Why would you think I wouldn’t come back?”
“Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon thought you got eaten by those things.” said Scootaloo as she glared daggers at the two fillies she mentioned.
“They’re called aragamis; or to be specific they’re called ogretail.” I said as I pulled myself off some of the kids who were still hugging me.
“Wait those things are real?”
“Pretty much yeah, but I’m wondering how the hell did they even get here?”
“Did they follow you here to Ponyville?” Sweetie Belle asked.
“I doubt it seeing how I fell off a cliff, but-.” I was cut off at mid sentence by a loud roar. Shit, that sounded like it was coming from Ponyville. And judging by how loud that was it was either a Vajra or Quadriga….I’m really hoping it’s a Quadriga. “Not to be rude or anything, but I gotta go to Ponyville and take care of a whatever it is that’s attack the town. Applebloom, you stay here and...um.” I tried to think of something as an idea came to me. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a flare gun. “If an aragami appear near the school, use this and I’ll rush back as soon as I can okay?” Applebloom nodded as I turned around and rushed off towards Ponyville.
Mission 7: Trouble in school
(Ponyville)
[Ruby’s P.O.V]
“Welcome to my school Ruby.” Said Applebloom pointing towards the building with the bell. “This is where every young fillies and colts go to for class.”
“I have to admit this place is…..interesting.”
“What? You never been to school before?”
“No I have, but I’ve never seen a school that looks like this before.” Don’t blame me for being a little bit not impressed. I mean I pretty much was schooled by a freaking computer, so you can’t blame me.
“Well now you have.” She said grabbing my arm. “Now come on. I want to show you what my classroom looks like.”
“Okay, okay, no need to rush me or anything.”
The moment I entered the classroom was the beginning of my personal hell. It’s not that I didn’t mind going to school or anything, but it was the fact that I hated being the center of attention. So far throughout the entire morning I was pretty much being asked question upon question about who I was, where I come from, and how come my arm is made of metal. It’s not that i didn’t mind answering or anything, but I just wanted to hangout with Applebloom seeing how she didn’t seem to find me threatening or scary unlike a certain group of ponies that pretty much either hate me or fear me? Either way the recess bell finally rang, thank god I need a break from all this.
(Recess)
“Well that was an interesting morning.” I leaned against the wall of the school. “Granted it was kinda fun answering some of the questions, despite that kid Rumble asking me to be his marefriend…..I might go on a date with him when he’s a little bit older.” I said reaching into my pocket, pulling out a cigar, light it and started to smoke it.
“Don’t you know smoking is bad for your health?” I turn to my left to see Applebloom and what I could guess are her friends seeing how they were hiding behind her.
“Tell me something I don’t know Applebloom. I take it those are your friends hiding behind you?”
“Yeah these are my best friends. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle.” She said pointing to the white unicorn with light purple & light lavender mane; and the orange pegasus with magenta mane.
“So…...is it true?” Asked Sweetie Belle.
“Is what true?”
“You killing a dragon all by yourself.” Answered Scootaloo. “From what we heard from our sisters, they said that you killed a dragon single hoofenly. So is it true or not?” Once again I reached into my other pocket, and pulled out my phone to show them with the pic of the dead dragon I was standing on. This got the two of them looking at me in both shock and amazement.
“So what’s up?”
“Well I just wanted you to see my friends, and was hoping we could hang out with you?”
“Not to sound like a jerk or anything and I don’t mind you three hanging out with me, but why don’t you hang out with the other kids in your class?” Judging by the looks on their faces I pretty much hit a touchy subject. “Let me guess, you three are the odd kids in the classroom.”
“We’re not odd! We just go on crusading to find our cutie mark…...which sometimes get the town almost destroyed…...a lot.” Said Scootaloo who was blushing in embarrassment.
“Oh…...question what the hell’s a cutie mark?” I asked which in turn they looked at me like I just insulted them. “What?”
“You don’t know what a cutie mark is?” Asked Applebloom into which I nodded no. “How can you not know what a cutie mark is? It’s a mark that you get when you finally find your special talent.”
“How can you tell that you get your so called ‘cutie mark’ ?”
“They appear on your flank.”
Wait seriously? You mean like butt tattoo that you can get from a tattoo shop? This got to wonder if I had one, so I stretch my pants slightly open to see if I had one. No surprise I did have a cutie mark, but it was the fenrir logo.
“Tch figures I would get a mark like this.”
“What kind of cutie mark is that?” Said Scootaloo getting close up to my flank, ever heard of personal space kid? “It looks like a wolf with huge misshapen fangs.”
“It’s the god eater logo for the fenrir branch I was working in.”
“So you really are a soldier?”
“Been a god eater for ten years Scoots.”
“And you don’t work for anypony else?”
“Well I don’t work for those weak ass royal guards now do I?”
“Would you like to join our club?” Asked Sweetie Belle. “We can’t pay you like how Celestia does with her guards, but we could-.
“Let me stop you there kid. I’ll join your…...what the name of the club anyway?”
“We’re the Cutie Mark Crusaders!” They said in union which caused me to cover my ears. I mean really if they actually screamed at the top of their lungs they could break glass.
“Okay…...anyway I’ll join you club free of charge.”
“You will?”
“Might as well seeing how most of the ponies in this town don’t seem to like me that much.”
“Oh come on not everypony is afraid of you in ponyville.”
“I beg to differ-.” Before I could say anything, I was hit in the face by a water balloon. “What the hell!?” I looked up to see the two bratty little snobby bitches that made that rude little comment about my arm in class a few hours ago. I think their names were Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon from when the teacher was doing roll call.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the blank flanks club." Said Diamond Tiara.
"Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, the bucks your problem? You hit our newest member of the club." Said Scootaloo pointing to me.
"Ew you got that thing of a pony to join your club?”
“I wouldn’t even call it a pony.” Said Silver Spoon pointing at my arm. “I mean what kind of pony would give birth to something with a arm like that? I hate to be the parents of that freak of nature.”
I took a deep breath and gave my phone to Applebloom to hold on to. Thanks to that water balloon that the snobs hit me with, I have to wait for about a few hours for it to dry out. "Could you please hold this Applebloom? I need to have a little talk with two little bitches."
(Third P.O.V.)
"Hey Applebloom, is Ruby okay?" Whispered Scootaloo.
"I don't think so, I think they made her mad?" Whispered Applebloom
"S-should we try and stop her?"
"Best not Sweetie belle, I mean if things get a bit out of hoof then will stop her."
Tiara and Spoon looked at Ruby as she was kneeling down in front of them. "That was a $250 Hi def Iphone." She took another deep breath. "So how can I help you two.....um....who are you anyway?"
"Really? You don't know who I am?"
“Nope.”
"Well if you must know freak, My name is Diamond Tiara the riches, important, and beautiful pony in all of pony-."
"Oh you dirty bitch work the shaft."
"Um...excuse you?"
"Oh I'm sorry about that, I like to dirty talk when somepony's sucking my dick."
"W-What! How Dare you talk to like that, do you know who I am? I'm Diamond Tiara!"
"And I'm Carmen Sandiego, guess where I am?"
"I'm trying to have a serious conversation with you, you freak."
"Oh so am I, and I'm failing, and I'm sorry for that. It's just that I'm just a little bit pissed off, Because this lavender hair little shit just pop out of nowhere, fried my $250 hi def Iphone, and try to impress me like I'm her alcoholic father!" With that last comment Diamond Tiara with right in front of Ruby’s face. Ruby notice that Tiara's face red as a tomato and she wanted to piss her off even more. The atmosphere was tense, everyone on edge, wait to see what will happen next. The moment of silence was broken when Ruby spoke.
"Be a good girl and grab daddy another beer."
*SLAP*
A loud slap was heard from when Tiara slapped Ruby in the face. The CMC were in shock after seeing Diamond Tiara do that. Silver spoon was laughing when she saw a red mark on the god eaters face.
"HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY FAMILY THAT WAY YOU LOWLY STREET TRASH!" Yelled Diamond Tiara. "I don't know who, what, or where you come from? But when I tell my dad what you said you are gonna re-" Diamond Tiara stopped yell at her she notice a weird yet creepy smile on Ruby’s face, along with her eyes changing from grey to midnight purple & magenta pink..
Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon started shaking and backing off in fear from Ruby. "What's the matter? You were talking all that good shit a minute ago, where is it? Huh!? HUH!?” As she walk toward the two ponies Ruby pulled out her god arc from her back. “I think it’s time to teach you two little brats a lesson about provoking somepony that’s bigger and stronger than you.”
(A few hours of screaming and seeing two ponies running later)
(Ruby’s P.O.V.)
“Well I think that’s it for today’s lesson don’t you think?” I said as I tie a knot on the flag pole. I looked up to see how the two rich brats are doing. “So what did you two learn!”
“GET US DOWN FROM HERE YOU MONSTER!”
“YOU CAN’T DO THIS TO US! WE’RE THE MOST RICHEST PONIES IN PONYVILLE!”
I just rolled my eyes at them telling me to let them down. “DON’T **** WITH A GOD EATER!” I turn around to see the cutie mark crusaders with smiles on their faces. I could tell that they were happy that someone did something about these two brats. Though that little victory was cut short when I saw a certain group of ponies and teacher looking at me in disbelief.
“What?”
“What do you mean what? Why the hay are Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon hanging from the flagpole!?” Yelled Applejack.
“Okay before you say anything or try to attack like last time, I would like to say that I didn’t start anything.” Everypony looked at Applejack as she simply nodded yes. Guess that means I’m telling the truth.
“If you are telling the truth, then why are there two fillies hanging from their panties on the flagpole like a flag?” Asked Ms. Cheerilee.
“They hit me with a water balloon, and when I was messing around with them Diamond Tiara slapped me in the face.” I said pointing to the red handprint still on my face. They once again looked at the country bumpkin who once again nodded.
“Even if they did attack you first, they’re just little fillies. How could you do that to them?” Asked Rarity.
“Oh Please! Like those little turd nuggets are innocent little kids.They attack me first so I had every right to defend myself.” Well mostly true. I could of just walk off and be the bigger man or colt or…..whatever the point is being the bigger pony is overrated.
“You could of just walk away from it.” Suggested Applejack, which in turn I gave her the bird.
“Being the bigger mare is overrated.” With that I was about to walk, and head back home. That is until Applejack lassoed a rope onto my arm and started to pull.
“And where do you think you’re going?”
“Back home, where else.”
“You’re not going anywhere until you apologise to Diamond Tiara & Silver Spoon for what you did to them.”
“I don’t apologise to bratty children, maybe this will teach them a lesson for thinking they’re better than anyone else.” I pulled on the rope causing Applejack to stagger a bit. “Now I suggest you let me go or else I’ll kick your flank.”.....Wait did I just say flank?
“Applejack maybe you should let her go.” Suggested Applebloom, but Applejack did pay her any mind as she started to pull even harder. This was going to be a one sided argument so I pretty much pulled out my god arc and cut the rope, causing Applejack to fall on her flank. I couldn’t help but laugh at that.
“What’s so funny jerkface?” Asked Rainbow Dash who looked like she was ready to fight me. So like an idiot I decided to say the same thing I said when my foster brother screwed something up.
“Your face that’s what.” Yep that trigger the bullet as she started to charge at me getting ready to punch me in the face. I in turn moved to the left, grabbed her by the tail, and slammed her onto the ground. “Idiot. You may have gotten me last with that move, but I won’t fall for the same move again.” I then proceeded to place my hoof on her back, and grabbed her wings. “You seem to be really attached to your wings I take it? Well then how about we make you into an earth pony for a few months or so.”
“Wait What!?” I started to pull on Rainbow Dashes wings as she started to scream in horror at the fact she thought I was gonna rip her wings off. I wasn’t really gonna rip her wings, just break them so she would be earth bounded for a month or two. Before I heard the CMC asking to stop, well mostly Scootaloo.
“Ruby stop!” Yelled Applebloom.
“Why should I stop? So far in the past 24 hours none of them except for Twilight apologise for attacking me for killing the dragon, not only that but I got two death threat from your sister and your brother. So you tell me why I shouldn’t break this rainbow color jerk’s wings for attack me?” I felt something latch onto my waist. I looked behind me to see Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo hugging me while crying.
“P-Please don’t break Rainbow Dashes wings.” Said Scootaloo.
……...Dammit. If there’s one thing that would get to me is little brothers or sister asking me to stop hurting their older siblings. So as requested I let go of Rainbow Dashes wings, and got off of her. “You’re lucky your sister was here otherwise I would of break your wings.” I said as I started to walk towards Sweet apple acres. To my surprise Applebloom and her friends we’re walking next to me as I was walking away.
“You okay?” Asked Applebloom.
“No…...I’m not okay. You wouldn’t happen to have a place where I can be alone for while would you?”
“We could always take you to our clubhouse.” Sweetie Belle suggested. “Ponies rarely go and bother us besides our sisters.”
“Find then I’ll be sleeping in there for now on.”
“How come?”
“Because after today I’m not in the mood to have another fight with Applejack or Big Mac. And if I do end up in a fight with either of them…….let’s just say they’ll be in the hospital for next few months.”
