The Element of Honor!

Once we decided to head home from Donut Joe's I went the opposite way. I still had to pick up my new clothes from Stitch, although I had warmed up to the attire he wanted me to wear it was the crossbow I wanted the most. Fuck I had a pistol that run off magic now, but I wanted the damn crossbow. At first I was against it, but if I didn't have the spike from my knife I would have been dead. So then I decided I needed a weapon that was long range for defense.

'You can't get the crossbow! What would your freinds say?' Dexter tried to convince.

'Nope, getting it, you saw what happened when I didn't have it!' My mind wasn't changing about this, me and Dash could have died.

'God your such a bitch, it doesn't matter now you handled it!' He taunted.

'The guy who tried to kill us is still alive, he's definately coming back though.' I thought logically and Dexter didn't, it seemed he didn't like being on my side for anything.

'Yeah and you just stab him again!'

'Oh if it's that fucking easy why didn't he die!' Now I was getting pissed off at the voices in my head. This wasn't something I expected to encounter in my life.

I felt a twitch of pressure in my head. It turned out that Iris had took the spot of the one that can talk to me. 'Will you two please stop arguing your gonna give me a migraine!' She complained.

'Oh shut it! Your can't feel fuck all!' I thought, pushing her back into my head and letting Dexter take the hotspot again. Before he had a chance to speak I cut him off. 'Listen! If you keep on arguing with me I'll let Lust talk to me instead, capiche?' I thought in a stern tone. Well as much as I could get it in my head.

'Okay *sigh*' He had finally given up, I was able to enjoy some peace and quite.

I was still quite a while away from Stitch's place so I decided to get more information on what I call the 'HQ' 'Hey Dexter!' I thought getting his attention.

'Yeah?'

'Do you know how the HQ works?' I asked I wanted to know this information just in case of an emergency.

'By HQ I assume you mean the center of the Element, then yes I do.'

I walked around a corner and almost ran into some pony, I moved around them and asked a question. 'So how come I can feel in there?'

'Oh thats just the Element sending small shockwaves into your nerves, once you withdraw you will be able to feel things properly and see us all at once.' He replied nonchalountly.

'Withdraw? What does that mean?' I asked, honestly I probably shouldn't have because I knew I would get mindfucked from knowing it.

It seemed as if Dexter knew this as he gave me the simplefied version. 'Well basically you have only half withdrawn so far, withdrawing is where your body is put inside the Element and it's like as you say a HQ.'

What he just said actually sounded pretty cool. 'That sounds like it would be fun to do, can anything go wrong with it?'

'No, since the Elements are some of the most powerful things in this world nothing can damage them.'

'So basically I could piss off the Princess hop back into HQ and watch her rage?' I asked, this was beggining to sound interesting.

It was obvious that Dexter was on my side for once this time as he egged me on. 'Do it, I dare you!' He stopped for a moment and started laughing. 'Ahhhh, it seems Iris doesn't want to do it. Are you too chicken Iris?'

There was no sound for a moment before he started laughing again. 'What?' I asked this is why I wanted to go back to HQ because I miss out on all the fun out here.

'She's going bezerk!' He said between chuckles.

I felt a tinge of pain in my chest. 'Tell her to calm down before she lays an egg!' I commanded him to.

I know he did it because he went silent for while before Iris was in the hotseat. 'What did you say about an egg?' She said in a malicious tone. I assumed that Dexter was dead or at least as dead as he could be in there.

'Well I said that it better not be like a hen house when I get in there.' I quickly kicked her off and replace her with Lust.

Lust affermed that Iris was pissed when she spoke next. 'Man, Iris is hot when she's mad.' She seemed to only had noticed then that she was in hotseat. 'Oh hi Cole.' She greeted.

I felt my mind going into dirty images about Iris and what Lust would do to her if she had a penis. 'God Lust, do you ever stop thincking about sex?' I asked wondering if she ever though about something else.

'It's all in the name' She created clicking noises with her tongue. How she did it I don't know, what I do know is that not everybody can pull that off and she wasn't one of the entities that could.

'Well we're here now so stop injecting dirty images into my mind.' The words of choice wasn't the best one's.

It was easy for Lust to make a comeback from that because of my poor choice of words. 'Then you inject something with you're-' I kicked her out of the hotseat and made sure no one else could talk to me for a while, for the first time in that day I actually felt lonley.

I walked into Stitch's shop and yelled. "Hello, you there Stitch?" As soon as I shouted that a caffine pumped pony appair next to me, Stitch seemed about one step down from Pinkie's hyperness.

"Hi there, since you didn't come as soon as you need to I also had time to make a holster for your crossbow." He got straight to the point, that's one of the reasons that I like him. I was waiting for some kind of witty sex joke, but then I remembered I kicked Lust off the hotseat. "But that doesn't mean I'm happy about you taking your time." His whole mood changed into a scary one, the shop seemed to darken and there was a bolt of lightning. Fuck how scary would this be if Pinkie flipped out, Holy shit! "So I decided that you would have to wear my custom made attire out of the shop." He told me.

I was okay with this as long as he didn't flip out again, that was scarier than anything else since I got here, even the manticore. "Okay then, but you will have to teach me how to use the discuise system.'' I said trying to buy some time before I had to walk out in the sketchy attire.

"Don't need to, you just have to think of what you want and it will look like that." Now I had completly warmed up to it. It sounded cool and I got a free crossbow with it. All I need now is a flint and tinder and I could have meat again in the herbivore world.

"Okay then that sounds good. What about the normal clothes?" I asked, in the moment I had been in thought he had pulled out 7 meduim sized boxes. He pointed at the boxes and I opened one of them, it was empty. I opened another, empty. I wasn't gonna waste my time just to find out there all empty. "So where are they?" I asked.

A giant smirk plastered across his face and her sat down on his haunches. "There in you bag!" He told me.

How would he have put them in my bag that would have been impossible without alerting me. My bag was built into my jacket and was meant for holding cloth so it would be in the right place. I took my jacket off and began to unzip the back. "There is no way it's in-" I looked in the back of the jacket just to see all the clothes I ordered, there was all different colors of jogging pants and shirts. I was guessing there was the underwear and socks at the bottom of it. I zipped it back up and put my jacket back on, the weirdest thing about it was that there was no bulge from the clothes.

I had seriously given up now, I had saw Pinkie put a suitcase into her mane, but I didn't think it was possible to do it to anything on me. "Well I'm about to close soon, so put these on and get out." He threw me the clothes and pointed me to a changing room. I walked in and changes into the clothes I realised how cramped the room was when I tried to take my pants off. I also realised how damaged the pants were when I got them off. I was gonna throw these away when I got back, but I decided to let Stitch keep them incase I ever wanted replicas of them for hunting. I probably would never need them as in my new clothes I could descuise myself as the air, a thing I'm sure these ponies never thought of but oh well my idea now.

Once I got my new attire I walked out the changing booth to see Stitch looking at his creation. It was a blue longcoat with a hood and a bandanna that covered half of my face just leaving my eyes, the pants were made out of the same material and they were loose enough to feel confy and not like McHammer pants. The pants actually made my boots part of the attire which I assume is one of the enchantments on it. I gave Stitch a twirl which made the two tails on the long coat fly out, it looked awesome.But I think that was just Dexter or Iris thinking. I still looked like a twat.

"Well give it a try!" He egged me on to use it. I did the one thing I could think of at that moment, air. I turned assentually invisible. "Wow, didn't know it could do that." He said genually sounding shocked. "What are you descuised as?"

I turned back to normal and told him. "Well air really, it's the only transparent thing I can think of at the moment."

"Well let's get you off before you mare freind starts to worry about you." He said giving a sly wink and handing me the crossbow in it's holster with a couple of arrows in a quiver attached to the holster which was kind of cool. I ignored his insult and put the holster over my shoulder and waved goodbye taking only my jacket from the room. Of course my underwear and socks were still on but it was still only my jacket out of the items of clothing I took off. Once I was outside I put the jacket on and zipped it up, next stop the castle.

I walked towards the castle as the sun set, the night impeading the sun. It was just light enough to see without a light sorce. I was almost at the castle gates, on the gates were two guards they both had golden armor and looked similar to each other. In fact all of them looked the same, they were like stormtroopers.

I doubt they would let me in with a crossbow strapped to my back and I want to test them anyway, so... I was about to have a little fun.

'Oh you can't be serious!' He shouted/ thougth as I walked into a backstreet.

'Hey your not dead.' I thougth while going to a place I could climb so I could see above the castle walls. The only place I found was some kind of tower. I'm guessing it was a bell tower.

'Don't try to change the subject!' What subject? He didn't tell me we was talking about something. 'You know this plan is likley to fail.' He was bacically being a statistics report.

'Yeah I know I'm only trying to test them.' I thought he was smarter than this and also could read my thoughts. 'Look I'm not gonna hurt anyone so calm the hell down!' I thought. I swear if I could see him right now he would be fuming.

'Don't. Get. Hurt.' His words was almost as funny as Kevin Heart... on a rollercoaster. He thought I was going to get hurt, why? I had just reached the tower when I had noticed why. It was fucking tall enough to kill me with the drop.

'Oh well here goes nothing.' I thought before I climbed up some nearby boxes that would get me onto a roof next to the tower. I had a bit of parkour training in an after school club, just enough for this to be easy. I got onto the roof and looked up the tower. The had perches for birds about 5 inches thick, it's like they wanted me to climb it. There was one every meter up or so, this would be a peace of cake. I jumped up and grabbed the first one pulling myself up on a endent in the building where the bricks have a gap in them from constrution mistakes. I stood on it with both feet while I grabbed the next one. I pulled myself up on the next one from a little gap I think would be a good place for someone with a bow and arrow. This may have been an old watch tower, it certantly looked unused.

Once I was up on the fifth one up my foot slipped and I would have dropped all the way down if it wasn't for me holding onto the next perch. The bar underneath me stopped like just under a ruler away from my crown jewels. I quickly put my feet on the perch and made sure I had balance before I started climbing up to the next one. Getting up the rest of the tower went without a hitch and I made it up safe. Well as safe as I could. I climbed into the empty space that was the watch place thingy. I had no clue what it was called so I'm calling it the watch place thingy.

Once I was in there I looked back towards the castle. It turned out that Canterlot's castle was on a cliff. Luckily the castle's land was massive and was so expansive that you could have to walk about three miles to fall off. I looked for something that would be in reach and would stay together if I shot it with a bolt from the crossbow. The only thing I found that would do that was a tree. I sighed and took my jacket off.

'Do you really think this is going to work?' Dexter was actually pissing me off, but it was reasonable because this was quite a stupid plan.

'Dude, change of physics and this jacket is quite strong chances are it would work.' I told him. It was a lie but he bought it.

I took the crossbow off my back and held my jacket in front of it after I aimed. I commmeced the countdown. "3...2...1 *Click*" The blow made an quite clicking noise and a second later had stuck in the tree, the fabric silenced the impact noise and almost stopped it from sticking in.

'Holy shit! That worked!' Dexter was skeptic about the whole plan for a good reason. I was also suprised it worked but I hid it well.

I began my descent down the tower and made it down safely. I began heading towards the castle again to get past the guards with my crossbow. 'You know you could have just walked into it if you just gave them the crossbow.' There was his second attempt to get rid of the crossbow. He just wants to piss me off, doesn't he?

I ignored his attempt as I pushed him back in my mind and brought Iris forward. I didn't think she knew as she was silent so I just left her be. I reached the street neat the castle and changed to invisble, I was glad to find out when objects were in clothing they still turned invisible with the clothes. So as my knife and crossbow was concealed I walked past the guards through the gates. What was funny is one of the guards felt my presence. "Did you feel that?" The guard on the right asked.

The guard on the left decided to make fun of him, with a chuckle he answered. "Ooh, maybe it was a ghost!" He spoke in a mocking tone.

Oh I just had to do this. I descuised myself as death and walked back to near the gate. I also imagined the syche, I couldn't use it because it was just an illusion but it being there made it all the better. They still hadn't noticed me so I decided to make a dramatic entrance. "I HAVE COME TO TAKE THE SOULS OF TWO ROYAL GUARDS!" My voice boomed these words.

The two guards were startled by the sudden shouting, but they didn't turn around straight away. It took them a couple of seconds to comprehend the words, they slowly turned around to check what it was. What they saw was a bipedal skellington in a robe with a hood and a sythe. They were terrified, as soon as they saw me there eyes shrank to pinpricks, another second later they were gone sprinting fast enough to shame a car.

I was actually quite shocked that they ran away, I expected them to try and arrest me so I would have to turn invisible and get into the castle, but nooo. They ran. "Huh, newbies." I said figuring that was the only possible way they would have ran.

It seemed as if Iris had just found out she was in the hotseat. 'Wow, that was cruel man.' What is it with these voices and pissing me off, well except Lust she had a good reason and she's hot so I can take some fustration.

I walked around the castle in my normal form, I didn't need a discuise to walk around the castle. I was almost at the throne room when I remembered I forgot my jacket outside. ''Oh for-'' I almost shouted before I ran back outside. I went over to the tree and pulled the bolt out of my jacket and caught it before it fell to the ground. As I was walking back I looked at the gate where the guards used to be there was still no one there. Damn, I was going to have to tell Celestia about that although she might be pissed because it's my fault.

I walked back to the spot I was before, right outside the throne room. How was I going to say that there are more on this planet than just me. You know what I'll just barge in and say it. Not my best idea but still far from worse.

'That is a terrible idea destined to go wrong.' I put my jacket on so I had nothing in my hands and ignored Iris' buzzkill. I took a deep breath and pushed the doors open.

I was met by a suprised Celestia sitting on her throne, I didn't bother to take a look around the room before I said what I wanted to say. "I'm not the only human!" I finally took a look around the room, there was the Element's of Harmony and a human teenager. She had hair like Celestia's and light blue eyes. "Well fuck, you found out already!" Just slipped out of my mouth. I heard Iris facepalming and she gave up the hot seat.

Lust took her position and as her name intends, she acted like. 'Wow she's got nice tit's and she's about your age.' I would have facepalmed but everyone was looking at me now.

Celestia decided she was going to take the first step since I was too shocked, why? Why did she know already? Is there a way to get back?

"Cole, meet my daughter Anna." Celestia walked over to me and I think she tried to put her wing around me because she understood my shock. I stepped away from her the word she used 'daughter' It wasn't right, like at all.

"What do you mean daughter?" I asked with unintentional venom slipping into my voice. I don't know why but something about the daughter thing pissed me off.

'Calm down Cole, you don't want to do something you will regret.' Dexter gave some good advice that would fall upon death ears. Lust must have gave up the hotseat when she felt the wave of anger brewing.

"Well Cole, this is my daughter, she's one of your kind.'' She stated the obvious. "She has been her since she was a foal.''

"Baby." I corrected. The venom in my voice being hard to contol now. I was angry for Anna, she never was with her own kind, she wasn't human technically. By DNA she was but by soul she was a pony. "If there is another human here, how come nobody knows about humans then?" The questions were just coming in, but what got to me is why nobody knew what I was when I first came here. After the first day out they warmed up to me but that's because I was seen with a pony that was freinds with most people on the town.

"Well that's because she has never been out of the castle, the only ponies that have seen her are the maids, and some of the guards. That is apart from the Princess'. " That boiled my blood, a human ripped of there world but that wasn't the end she was also ripped of her freedom.

"You what!?" I shouted unable to contain my anger anymore. Celestia visably flinched at my sudden out burst of anger, she must have expected something else. Royal guards had there spears and swords at ready to kill me if I tried to attack the Princess.

"At ease guards." Celestia called, she wasn't scared of me. She could restrain me. "Well I didn't want to cause a disturbance." She said.

"So you care about more about your kingdom then your own daughter?" Now she was pissing me off. Anna was just standing there a bit startled. She was mostly confused at why I was angry, she also looked a tiny bit upset. I have no clue why.

'Maybe because your shouting at her mother! Or she finally met someone who knows what she is and it starts off terribly.' Dexter offered.

"Well-um -no, but... You have to understand it's for her own saftey." She tried to plead, she may have been a good Princess but it certainly looked like she was a bad mother.

"So you doubt your own kingdom?!" I was on shouting level now, even Celestia was backing off a bit. The Element's of Harmony looked shocked and had no clue what to do. Anna was starting to get a tear in her eye, but I didn't really notice that.

Celestia lowered her head and she also had a tear in her eye. I was right, I got to her because I had got it spot on. "It was for her own protection." She whimpered. That was an excuse and it wasn't reasonable, Celestia was trying to make a good kingdom and she was worrying about everbody attacking her own adopted daughter.

'Calm the fuck down already, actually get out of there before you do something you regret!' He was right I needed to get out of there before I did something I regret.

I sighed, I was going to have to leave before I did something although I was too pissed off to not take another jab before I went. "You know what, if this is all I'm getting; Fuck you!" I said, I was about to turn and walk away but I couldn't just leave fully. "I'll come back when you can give me something fucking better than your lame excuses." I spat venom out with my words.

I stormed off to the exit and almost reach it before I was interrupted. "Wait!" It wasn't a voice I heard before, but I could tell by it that she was upset. It was most likley Anna. I was about to carry on when I was essentially tackled from behind. "Please don't go!" Anna pleaded, she may have been raised by ponies, but she must have found comfort by being near her own kind. "Your the only one of my kind I have met, so please don't leave me alone." It was getting hard to be mad now, all I wanted to do right now was to hug her and tell her I wouldn't leave her alone.

'Just do it then!' Dexter was trying to coax me into doing it.

Anna let go of me and sat with her legs crossed and was giving me a puppy dog look that made it even harder to say no. I stood up and looked at her, as I was about to turn around I looked into her eyes and saw sadness in her eyes. I sighed. "Okay then, I wont leave." I saw a smile on everybodies faces, it was annoying I wasn't one for these sappy 'Oh you've just met the only one of you kind moments'.

Anna didn't waste a second to start glomping me.She was a pony at heart. I felt Dexter going to the back of my head and someone come forward, it was Iris. 'Hey on the bright side the Princess won't be mad at you for shouting at her like that now.' She said as I pried Anna off my face.

As soon as I preid Anna off my face she put her feet on the ground and pressed her face against mine in a more the freindly kiss. It must have been normal for them to kiss as the Princess didn't look angry. As soon as I turned beetroot red she must have realised that it meant more back home that it did here. She pulled Anna away from my lips with her telekenisis and told her: "Well Anna I think you getting ahead of yourself." She said descreetly giving her the hint.

I was still there dazed and red as a tomato. 'Way to fuck it up!'

'
