Chapter 5: Masked Heroes

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

It's been three days. Three, fucking, DAYS. And Skittles has been saving ponies around Ponyville, and she has gotten to be an arrogant cunt. Before I go one, I should delve into how me and Echo get along. We get along just fine! Echo even stays on my shoulder when I go walking around Ponyville. I even cast a spell on her, with her permission, that gave her my indestructibility. Meaning nothing can hurt her, cool huh? Anyway, Echo likes to stand on my shoulder all the time, so I let her. I she even gets noticed by everypony and say that she's either really cute, or really creepy. Whoever said shit like that got red eyes from both of us, yes, she has the ability to turn her eyes red. I just wanted to put that in. Anyway, me and the girls, minus, Skittles, were at Sugarcube Corner. Twilight called us to meet here via dragon fire. I was the last to show up.

"Hey girls."

"Hi Streak! How's Echo doing?" Echo flies in form a window and lands in my right shoulder. I reach up with my left arm and rub finger atop her head.

"She's doing just fine. Aren't ya?" Echo chirps happily while rubbing her head to my finger. Everypony 'aww's for a second. Then Twi speaks.

"Ok everypony, and human, i'm pretty sure you're wondering why you're here." I rais my hand. "No." I put my hand back down with a smirk. The girls just look at me. "Anyway, Rainbow, as you have seen. Has been different lately."

"Skittles has been acting arrogant and you have a plan to teach her a lesson."

"Yes... That... And the plan is to have Streak outmatch Rainbow as we set up situations were he saves ponies before Rainbow can."

"Ok, few things: what am I going to wear, how many situations are there going to be, and what is my pseudo name going to be?"

"Very good questions! Rarity will design your costume, I've planned a few accidents and situations, and you're 'hero name' will be: The mysterious, Nare Do Well!"

"You know, it's be better if ya yell the fuckin' name of the soon-to-be masked hero to where everypony can fukin' hear." Cursing fucking helps me get a point across to ponies.

"Sorry... So? What do you say Streak?"

"Yes."

"You'll get to beat Rai- what?" It looks like she thought I would say no.

"You thought I would say no? *snort* You really need to get to know me better. I thought I showed enough of who I am." I turn and pout in mock emotional hurt.

"Anyway, Rarity, you and Streak can go create an outfit for him. Applejack, Fluttershy and Pinkie, come with me."

"Alright darling, come with me."

"Ok, and don't talk to me as a foal." I say as my body is consumed in red flames. leaving the smoking form of my normal pony form.

"Sorry, i've been dealing with Sweetie and her friends for a while and the tend to get on my nerves."

"Eh... Don't sweat it Rares. Now, what do you have planned as to my costume?"

"Oh! It's simply marvelous! I already have a sketch of your costume." Rares leads me to her work room and shows me a colored sketch of my costume (All credit of art work goes to artist).

"Wow... How long did it take to create that sketch?"

"About an hour if I had to guess."

"You sure work fast. I like how you made it look like my mechanical form."

"I knew you would like it! Now," She goes off to the main room "all I need to make your costume..."

"You don't need to do that Rares." I say as I canter over to her.

"Why is that dear?" I smile.

"Do you remember that I can use changeling magic?"

"Yes... but I don't know how that has anything to do with-Oh! How very clever of you!"

"Thanks, I just need full concentration on the sketch and i'll be able to change into the sketch." I canter back to her workroom and spot the sketch. I get right in front of it and use my changeling magic to create a three-d image of the sketch in my head. I should mention right now that I have a very powerful imagination. Back on earth I would imagine shit like how shit look like as it was described in text. And compare it to fan art of said shit and they would look very similar. Anyway, enough bragging. When the image is in my head I'm once again engulfed in red flames. The fire dies and leaves a smoking robot version of Mare Do Well. Smoke form the fire that doesn't burn me. To complete the image I left out a voice box for me to use.

"Simply marvelous! Have a look for yourself!" She levitates a mirror in front of me. I look at myself and nod. Before Rarity can speak I change back to robot pony form.

*Now I have a small list of ponies with different identities... Cool.* "Sorry Rares. But I can't talk in that form. You know 'A true hero lets their actions speak for themselves' and all."

"A very good idea. Now if you will excuse me, I need to work on some orders. Ta ta darling!"

"See ya Rares!" I turn human when I go outside, and I use my magic to change my human form a little bit. Imagine an anthro cross between my human form: Pony-like head, ears on top, muzzle. Same robo-blade wings, yeah I found out that the 'feathers' that make up my wings are about the sharpest things on the planet, poor Shoeshine... At least I was able to reattach her head... Moving on! I even changed my legs to the hind legs of my robo-pony form. And that's pretty much it. I know I said that I wouldn't change this body. But come on! Who doesn't want to be an anthro pony! I'm surprised that I didn't do this earlier! And that I can say everypony by technicality. Anyway, I head over to Twi's place, by blinking into the living room. Unfortunately there was nopony there.

"Anypony here!?"

"Coming!" I hear the clip-clop of hooves form upstairs, and Twi comes down the stairs. "Oh! Hi Streak! You ready?" Red flames cover me and die to reveal my Nare Do Well costume. "That looks cool." I just nod and blink. "Alright lets go! First situation: Save a cart full of ponies from falling off a cliff! Follow me." I nod as she leads me out side and to my spot: Behind a building, facing a cliff. She then goes off out of view, assuming she went to tell the ponies in the cart, the cart is just barley in view atop the hill leading to the cliff. Twi is truly a clever prissy purple pony. Anyway, Twi spots Skittles and signals the stunt ponies. They nod and the cart rolls down the hill. The stunt ponies shout and scream for help. Skittles sees this and dive bombs at them.

"Never fear! Your friendly-"

"Um, wouldn't it be better if you just save us?" A brown stallion suggests.

"Ugh, fine..." Skittles gets in front of the cart, it looks more like a carriage now that I look at it. Anyway, Skittles positioned herself and dug her front hooves into the ground, while her hind legs were up against the carriage. It looks like Skittles has it. But she gets under the carriage and is flung out behind it, fucking hilarious. That's when Twi signaled me. I jump out from behind the building and position myself, holding up my hind legs just as the cart hits me, my front hooves dig into the ground. But my body locks up before I go under. Slowing the carriage at a gradual pace. My body is still being pushed down the hill, nearing the edge of the cliff. But I stop the carriage inches from the edge. A grace period of three seconds and everypony cheers, and I gallop off before anything can be said. I can hear some other stallion.

"Thank you! Who- uh..." I'm already jumping form mountain top to mountain top way off the distance. I erupt into red flames and change into anthro from, and Blink back into town. I spot Twi among the cheering ponies and walk over to her.

"I'm guessing it worked?" I ask rhetorically.

"I guess it did." I chuckle while Twi giggles.

"So, how many more times until Skittles breaks?"

"I'm guessing two or three more."

"Ten bits says two more tries and she'll break."

"Deal." We shake hoof to hand. And watch as Skittles angrily flies away.

"Anyway, What's next?" Twi levitated a clipboard from fucking nowhere.

"Next is... Saving a pony form a punctured hot air balloon."

"Oooh... Timing is of the essence I assume?" She nods. "Ok, when and where will it happen?"

"Thirteen hundred at the park." Yes, they use military time here as civilian time, fucking weird if ya ask me.

"Alrighty Twi, see ya then. Gotta go get Echo." I told her to wait for me at Sugarcube Corner, with Pinks watching her for me. I wave and blink inside the bakery. It only takes a millisecond for Pinks to feel my presence.

"Hi Streaky!"

"Heya Pinks. How's Echo?"

"She's juuust fine!" Pinks says as Echo climbs out of her mane. Echo sees me, chirps happily, and flies to my right shoulder. Then she nuzzles my check, it's fucking cute. "Oh, before I forget, how far are ya with the order?"

"I'd say... just about three fourths done! And we should be done by next week!"

*Only seven more days...* "Alright Pinks, see ya later!"

"Bye Streaky!" I walk out of Sugarcube Corner, by the look of the sun it's about ten in the morning still. *Isn't time supposed to be faster here than on earth? I'm just going to put under 'a whole different universe' folder and leave it at that.* I shrug my shoulders and walk back to my house. When I get to my room Echo hops off and flies over to her perch. I sit down in front of my desktop and play minecraft for the next two hours(ish)...

--------->>>>Almost two fucking hours later<<<<---------

Alright, I showed up just as Twi instructed me, and I saw Skittles looking for another way to be better than me. Twi saw me cast an invisibility spell on myself, she then signaled the mare in the balloon. Said mare nodded and pushed on something in the basket. I tear formed on the balloon and it, along with the mare, began falling towards the ground. I wait three seconds.

"Alright, Echo? I need ya to wait with Twi, ok?" Echo nods happily and flies over to Twi. Without wasting another millisecond I bolt right at the mare, a few seconds before Skittles can get to her. Said rainbow cunt looks at me and flies right into the deflated balloon, crashing to the ground with it. I hover to the ground and set the mare down.

"Great timing." She whispers, I just nod. I then gallop off over a mountain hill. I can hear everypony murmuring as Mayor Mare grabs their attention.

"Attention, Attention! It appears we have a new hero in Ponyville. A mysterious stallion, Who will from now on be known as the Mysterious Nare Do Well!" That sounds stupid doesn't it? Yeah... it does. Anyway, I ditch my disguise and blink back to Twi. The crowd of ponies are cheering my 'hero' name.

"Hey Twi, hi Echo." Echo screeches happily and flies back to me, using Twi's back as a launching pad. Echo flies up to my head and lands on my shoulder, nuzzling my cheek affectionately again. I reach up and rub a finger atop her head. Just then a thought enters my head. *Isn't it weird that although she's sapient, that she really wants to be my pet? I can have a one-way conversation with her if i wanted to, and yet she's still considered an animal...* I mentally frown at the thought. It is kinda weird when ya think about it isn't it? Meh... I'm just going to put it under 'different standards' and that'll be it for now. Anyway.

"I think one more accident like that should do it." Then another thought pops into my head.

"And I have the perfect scenario!" I motion Twi closer with a hand and explain the next accident...

--------->>>>The next day<<<<---------

Ok, so... There's a construction sight, with the skeleton of a multi-story building, and someone may or may not have sabotaged the only crane to not work properly, and to make it smoke and malfunction by removing a few gears... Anyway, Skittles just happens to be in the same area, looking in the same direction as the crane swings out of control. She then chants that old fucking phrase,

"Never fear! For your-" She was cut off by a four by four nearly hitting her, the same log hits the base of the building and begins to collapse. I take that as my cue and jump out from behind a thick tree.

"Look!" All eyes are on me, without wasting any time I run in as the skeleton falls, grabbing two stallions on my back just before they're crushed by a pile of debris. Skittles spots a stallion about to be crushed by a plank stacked with comically red bricks. She swoops in and saves the stallion before he's crushed by a ton of bricks. By now i've already save the rest of the construction workers, but of course, she didn't see me do that.

"HeHA! Looks like you need to keep up with me!" She rubs a hoof to her chest.

"But he saved the rest of us..." A light brown stallion states. Skittles looks in my direction and sees all the ponies I saved, four to one, and her jaw drops. I just look blankly as everypony cheers in my name, I then canter off before anypony can get to me. But then Skittles started fuming.

"Oh no you don't. Get back here!" I look behind me to see a very angry Skittles flying at me. I flare my wings and bolt off before she can get to me. But she give chase.

*Lets see how long you can last!* I keep a pace to where Skittles can stay behind me. She repeatedly yells 'Get back here!' and she gets close to me. But with a strong flap of my wings i'm easily able keep ahead of her. And this goes on for about... Two hours, she really can fly fast and long. But after two long hours of relentless chasing can take it out of anypony. And it just so happened that we were right over Ponyville! Oh joy! Anyway, I bank and descend towards a back alley behind some building. Twi told me and the girls to meet there after the last accident happened. As I near a corner leading to the alley, I look behind me to see that Skittles has actually broken into a full body sweat, it even looked like her wings were about to give out.*For an athlete you sure do tire out quickly, heh...* I turn the corner, and hover to a stop. I turn to face Skittles as she turns the corner, albeit a bit more haphazardly than me. She un-majestically lands a few feet away from me, breathing heavily.

"What's the *gasp* matter? *gasp* Got too *gasp* tired?" I smirk as my eyes flash a playful blue. When that happens the rest of the mane six come out. I then erupt into red flames, leaving me in my anthro form. "W-hat? NO WAY! YOU!?"

"What do you mean by 'you' Rainbow?"

"You're 'The Mysterious Nare Do Well'!? But why?"

"To teach ya a lesson in modesty! You were lettin' all that fame get to yer head, and were acting very arrogant!"

"Yes, you were just saving ponies just to get more popular. Instead of just doing it for the greater good." The rest nod in agreement. Echo Flies out of Pinkie's mane and lands on my shoulder. I rub a finger behind her ears.

"You just love to be in her mane, dont'cha?"
