How and Why? Season 2!
Chapter 6: Ranks and greed
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWhelp, there was dealing with Skittles, And now it's barely a week and Rares has asked me to go to Canterlot with her. Yeah... Rarity, the most generous pony in all of Equestria, is using me to gain popularity. How you ask? Well, remember that I'm still a fucking noble? Yeah, it didn't take long for ponies to notice me when we started walking around Canterlot. And Rarity only convinced me to go because she said it would 'Destroy my reputation!', fucking bullshit I know, plus I went along with it because she wouldn't shut the fuck up. And now here I am; sitting at some fucking restaurant, wearing a fucking suit made of fucking white gold, I am having a wonderful time... Just then a couple notices us, and I can hear them.
“Honey, is that Prince Golden Streak with Rarity?” The mare speaks first.
“It appears so dear. Though why are they together?” The stallion has a fucking high-class pompous voice with a tone that makes me want to punch him, right in the neck.
“I don’t know, do you want to find out? We can also get Rarity to make clothes for me at the same time.” I can’t, nor do I want to, look at them, but I can feel their oncoming presence. Funny thing is they’re trying to be silent, but I just scan the area around and they’re a few yards from us, i’m surprised Rares hasn't noticed them yet. I turn to them when they’re about five feet from us.
“Can I help you?” I ask as nicely as I can, while thinking how I’m going to kill them, and I think that my voice is a little different for them, I saw that they're went wide for a split second. Have I mentioned that I REALLY hate people, or ponies in this case, that live up to high-class stereotypes? I think I did before… The mare speaks.
“Excuse me. But are you Prince Golden Streak and Lady Rarity?” At this point I’m trying to be as casual as possible. Rarity saw the anger in my eyes and decided to speak for me.
“Yes, we are. Why do you ask?”
“I was wondering where you acquired such a ravishing garment! And i’m interested in purchasing a dress or two...” The mare’s referring to Rarity’s hat; it was fucking big, pink, and had many colored feathers jutting out from the top.
“Oh! You mean this, well I-” She was cut off by a window washer. He really looked like one of Aj’s special cousins. The buck teeth was just a bonus.
“Hey Rarity!” We all look up at him. “Hiya Rarity, you still look just as ya did back at that lil’ shindig in Ponyville.” I cut him off with a look that says ‘I will kill you’. I think my looks are quite effective to ponies because he calmed up, he then pulled on a rope and steadily went up the side of the building.
"Did he say that you were in Ponyville?" She asked the question with such distastes that my teeth started grinding. Metallic grinding can be heard by ponies three yards from me.
"What is that noise?"
"Nothing! Eh, yes, I was in Ponyville. I even live there, with all my friends."
"You live in that backwater village?" That's when I... calmly lost it. I slammed a hoof to the table me and Rares were sitting at.
"Do you have a problem with that? Because I live in that 'backwater village'," I say in a mocking tone. "and I think it's a beautiful town, filled with most friendliest group of ponies in all of Equestria!" With every word that comes out of my mouth, the couple take a step back. In the middle of my short rant I slowly canter a them. At the end of my rant I'm in there faces. "What do you have to say about that?" I bet ya all the bits that the couple can see a calm rage the likes of which has never been seen by ponykind. "Well? Don't you want to say something about that? More specifically about me, the wealthiest pony in Equestria, living in a 'backwater village'?" They stay silent. "Good. Rarity, lets get out of this pompous up tight city." I canter off with Rarity in tow. We stay silent for a while before Rares decided to speak.
"Don't you think that was a little much Streak?" I keep looking forward, blank expression on my face.
"No. You have no idea much I hate it when nobles live up to tier disgusting stereotypes. In fact, if it weren't for you being a good friend of mine, you would only know me as 'Prince Golden Streak' and and not as 'Streak'." Rares takes a while to respond.
"It's good to know that you call me a good friend." She says rather dejectedly. I roll my eyes and turn around to face her.
"I'm sorry Rarity, it's just that my life back on earth was ruined by rich people, or 'nobles' as you call them. You're not like that if you thought I was calling you a stereotypical noble. You, despite your background, are a good friend. You just rarely lose sight of that." I spot a small, warm smile adorns her face.
"Thank you Streak. It truly means a lot to me."
"Anytime Rares." I turn around and nearly bump muzzles with Fancy Pants.
"Prince Golden Streak! What a coincidence! How have you been?"
"Fancy Pants! It has been a while! I have been just fine, And hello to you too Sapphire." Me and Fancy Pants go waaaaay back. Last time I was in Canterlot we met and became fast friends. How? We both have a love for computer gaming. Oh yeah! Forgot to mention that there are very few computers owned by ponies, and of those computers some happen to be programmers. And of those programmers some design games! Amazing idn't it? And there is such thing as an internet. But it's just a faster version of dial up internet. If you don't know what dial up is, you never had a T.V. computer as a kid. Anyway, Fancy asked me if I am interested in games. I have no idea why he would ask anypony that. He has a reputation to keep doesn't he? Eh... pony society is really fucked up, but really nice if your income is average. Back on topic!
"Isn't that just dandy! Nice to see you again Streak!" Me and Sapphire shake hooves.
"I can say the same thing." I look at Rares, she has a face of pure shock. I snicker, along with Sapphire and Fancy. I then wave a hoof in front of Rarity's face. "Ch' anypony in there?" Her eye twitches. Her eyes then roll up into her head as she falls over. I catch her with a foreleg before her body hits the ground. I then hoist her on my back and turn to face the other two ponies. "I guess that ends our conversation. It was really nice to see you two again." We wave to each other as I canter off, when i'm a few yards away I look behind me, I see that that Fancy and Sapphire are still looking at me. I smirk at them as my eyes flash a playful blue and I blink back to the boutique. I change to anthro form as I take Rares upstairs to her room. I open the door to her room, walk in, and lay her on her bed. I show myself out as she peacefully sleeps. I then head over to Sugarcube Corner to pick up Echo. She loves hanging out Pinks.
When I pick up Echo I decide to go home for the day, and play some games Fancy recommended for me for the night.
--------->>>>Four days later<<<<---------
So... Spike has turned into a giant dragon, filled with greed. Oh joy...
"So, you're telling me, that in one day, Spike grew five feet?"
"Yes! And he hasn't been acting himself lately!"
"We need to get to him, now."
"Why!?"
"Remember how dragons collect treasure to feed off of greed?" Her eyes get really wide as her pupils shrink to pinpricks. "Yeah, we need to purge him of his new found greed." Me and Twi run back to her house, as we near the library I see some broken branches and a hole on the side, a big hole.
"We're too late..." I looks over to Twi and see that she's tearing up.
"No we're not, where' Rarity?"
"At the market, why?" I blankly look at her, then she realizes what I mean. Before she can act I blink us to the market. It's a fucking mess, broken wood, glass, even some ponies look like they've been crushed.
"I can handle a house being crushed. But when you kill ponies I will DESTROY YOU!!" I yell to the heavens as my eyes glow a bright white. I slam my foot to the ground, a white band of magic can be see as a magical shock wave travels all around me, as soon as it touches a broken pony it's body lifts into the air as it shines a bright white. A bright flash and they're back to full health. Same applies for every broken object. "Twilight, stay here and make sure everything is fixed." Without waiting for a response I bolt off like lightning from a cloud, easily making a sparkling platinum sonic boom. I fly straight up into the air and hover when i'm high enough. I look around and spot Spike, holding Rarity by the tail, climbing up a very tall, steep mountain. When I spot him I zoom in to get a closer look. Spike has Rarity raped in his tail, every time he looks at her, his eyes are filled with hunger. My eyes glow a thick red as my body gains a shade of grey. "rrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRAAAA!!" I let my warrior cry as I near them. Spike hears me and turns his head to look at me. He then takes a deep breath and spews out a giant green fire tornado. I rip through it like it was air. I come out of the inferno and aim right at Rarity. I grab his tail and wrench her loose with almost no effort, I then blink Rarity out of there before anything can happen to her. I hover away from him before he gets a hit on me.
"You think just because you get bigger means you can do whatever you want?" He just stares it me angrily. I then put on a sick grin. "Lets make the playing field even then." My body glows a bright white as it grows in size. I'm not casting a simple enlarge spell, I'm feeding myself the infinite amounts of magic that are stored in the crystals that reside in my body. When i'm done i'm a three story version of myself. Easily staring down Spike. He just snorts and spews more green magic at me. He does it for about ten seconds, the whole time his eyes where closed. When he finished he opened his eyes. Which go to pure shock, and I just stay stoic. I blink in front of him and grab him by the neck, and he's trying his hardest to struggle free, futile. By now my thoughts are clouded by pure rage. Without wasting a millisecond my had slowly clenches around his throat, cutting off his oxygen supply. He still continues to struggle, but after ten seconds his struggle die slowly, another five seconds and the life left his eyes, and his body goes limp. I drop him and plummets to the ground. As his body falls to the ground I see an arm twitches. My eyes glow a darker red as I dive bomb at him. As I get closer to his body, my right arm thins out at the tip to a sharp point. Sharp enough to puncture anything. Before the fucker can regain consciousness my spear of an arm goes right through his head. Satisfying squelching sounds and blood flowing from his head, and a new hole goes right through the side of his head. I hover as his lifeless body hits the ground with a loud boom, followed by the forest surrounding it shaking.
As I get closer I see a sickly green smoke leave the body as it gets smaller. It keeps shrinking until it's back to Spike's original size. Though there's still a gaping hole in the side his head, no traces of blood. The sight of his original body makes me eyes lose the red and my body regains it's white color. I channel all the magic I used to grow back into the crystals that are in my body. Shrinking back to my normal size. I descend and land next to Spike's body. I pick it up and use my magic to revive and heal him. Once to hole closes he gasps and coughs.
"*gaaaaasp* *heavy coughing* Wh-what happened?"
"You got greedy and grew into a giant dragon and I had to purge you of your greed."
"How come I can't remember any of that?"
"How the hell am i supposed to know?"
"Good point, now I just wanna go home."
"Got that covered little buddy." I blink us to Twi's place. "Hey Twilight! I'm back! And Spike's back too!"
"Yeah!" Twi gallops in from another room. Her mane is somewhat of a mess.
"Really!?" She takes a look at Spike. "SPIKE!!" Twi practically leaps at him, tackling him into a death-grip hug. They stay like that for a while, after a solid ten minutes Twi lets go, then goes up to me. "Thank you for helping me and Spike." She sniffs, then she tilts her head in confusion. "You look... different..." I grin.
"I may have made some... Modifications... I basically look like a cross between a pony and a human now!" To accentuate my point I flex my razor sharp wings. I think it looked badass cause Spike and Twi gaped at me in awe. "Does it look cool?"
"Dude... That looks awesome!" Spike practically jumps in place with pure joy, Twi just looks at me, thinking... "Twi? Whaddya think?"
"Very interesting, but it does look pretty neat." An innocent smile takes her lips as she makes a cutie face. Ya know? Smiling, eyes closed, even that squee noise coming out of nowhere.
"Thanks Twi, and your the first one to notice now that I think about it... Anyway, gotta get home, Echo's waiting for me." I wave as I walk outside and behind the tree home to y place, I walk into my home and into my room. I spot Echo as she looks at me. Her eyes shine as she screeches and joy. She takes off from her perch and flies over to me. She grabs onto my head as she nuzzles my cheek. I smile and reach a hand to her and rub a finger behind her ears, I think she loves because she purrs as I scratch behind her ears. "I missed ya too Echo." It was late out so I decide to change to normal pony form, Echo looks at me weirdly. "Don't worry Echo, it's still me." She smiles and nods, I yawn as I canter to my bed and get in. *Man it's been so long since I last slept.* I think jokingly as my eyes close, i'm taken from the real world and to the dream realm, looks like an infinite white room. *Huh... been a while since I had a lucid dream.* Just as that leaves my mind a blue mist form in the distance. *Luna?* I blink closer to her. "Luna?"
"Yes Streak, I've been waiting to enter your dreams for a while now." The blue mist takes a tall pony form and Luna's body takes a solid state.
"Then it's a bit of a disappointment to see this isn't it?" She grins sheepishly and nods. "Let me fix that then." I close my eyes as the room dims to the point of being black, then an explosion of stars and galaxies cover the place. "Better?"
