The Man with the Hidden Past
Chapter 25?
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Yo Iron Will! Wait up! I wanna see the ponies' faces when they see a bleeding out Princess being carried along in a cart by you!" I called after him as I walked along behind him.
Iron Will stopped to analyze my request. I could almost see the gears turning and grinding to a halt as he tried to figure out my plan in his drugged up mind.
"On second though, I will supervise this operation. Sergeant Hallucination! You shall take over the task of caring the Princess into the village! I shall start planning the entrance!"
< Oh my god it's a miracle! He actually figured out my plan or was shear luck! >
I gave a quick mock salute and took the cart from him. As he walked away I heard him grumble something about hiring goats and fireworks. Stupid Minotaur.
It took a couple hours to get to where Ponyville was in sight. All the while, I was wondering where Rainbow was, was Luna alright, or why my body kept changing. And if there was a way for me to make it all stop once and for all.
"Ugh... My head." I heard, shocking me out of my little mind adventure. I looked to my right to see Iron Will holding his head.
"What now." I asked him. He looked over to me and his eye grew to wide in shock. He slowly backed away and pointed to something behind me.
"What."
"Sergeant Hallucination? Y-y-you may want to turn around." He stammered out. I rolled my eyes and looked to my other side. And at that side made my mouth curl up in a smile. Right there, was the Princess of the Sun herself. Princess Celestia. I quickly turned back to Iron Will.
"That's all?" I asked as I pointed a thumb my shoulder. His expression was priceless. A perfect mix of scared and thinking I'm insane. I laughed inwardly and turned back around.
"Hello! Hello! Hellooooo....! I've gotta a baby that's-" I started singing before the Princess did quite the un-lady like thing and used the act of punching me in the face to make me be quiet.
"My my Princess. I never thought I'd see the day I saw you use your hooves for violence instead of your precious horn. And I see you have a nice scar on your eye too. Hmm... I wonder where you got that?" I said as I donned my famous shit eating grin.
"Quiet you abomination to nature! I had wiped your race from this planet over a million years ago and I will happily do it again! And why do you have my sister? What are you planning, Rape? Torture? Both?!" Celestia accused. I looked behind me to the unconsious princess.
"Well, I was just going to take her to the hospital... But now that you mention it, I might as well do those too!" I said, all the while keeping my grin. I was rewarded by being picked up by her magic and forced down to her face. I looked into her eyes as she tried to force images into my mind. Images of me being ripped apart by many a stallion. Of being stabbed, only to have mounds of salt poured on the wounds, constant starvation and unbearable heat of the sun. I laughed. I laughed at her petty attempts of intimidating me. I laughed right in her face. I laughed at the world I was in. I laughed at the very fabric of time and space. I calmed myself so I could make words without laughter in them. I looked right inter her eyes again.
"Now, what did you expect that to do? You've seen my mind. It's a terrible place. It made your sister scared. And she's also the most evil thing on this here planet besides me. After all, she only caused endless night for little over a few days. Not a single pony died. However, I've been here what, a week? And already this world has lost around 15 of it's occupants. I will not hesitate to rid it of it's beloved Princess. After all, I merely wish to live a life of peace right now."
"PEACE?PEACE?! IS THAT WHAT YOU CALL IT? YOU CALL PEACE THE DEATH OF INNOCENTS AND GORE FOR YOUR OWN PLEASURE?!" She yelled in my face.
"Psh. I find blood and gore merely as a stress reliever. And what would you think? Would you not have any stress if you where brought to a world by a god, only to have that god turn against you? AND make friends only to be forced into hiding and be away from them? What would you do? Would you not have stress? How about if you where forced into varies bodies of shapes and sizes? How about then?! Well? What WOULD you do Celestia?!"
"Well FIRST I wouldn't start with killing the settlements GUARDS!" Celestia yelled back in responce. Little did we know, death from another world was staring at us from the bushes.
-----------------11:30 PM of last night--------------------------------
Your body will make an excelent nest for my hatchlings!
I will cut off your head and mount it on my wall, Trophy!
At that, the two monsters clashed. Black claws against blades. The rough, dome pushing against the battle-scarred helmet. Each fighting for dominance of the other. Each knowing that a single mistake will cost them not only their lives, but the lives of their species on the ship. As the hunter and the soulless killing machine fought, the hunter's helmet analyzed the situation and discovered it's owner's odds of only a 42% chance of survival, 60% chance of harvestation, and only a 50% chance of death. The hunter knew he was going to die. He told his helmet to set his plasma caster to directly behind him. If he was going to die, then he knew his crew would have an even worse fate. He would spare them of the trouble and kill everyone and everything on the ship.
The plasma caster fired.
The blast went straight through the walls and out of the ship, damaging it's cloak slightly. The ship rocked slightly as the vacuum of space started to remove all the air. The hunter lost his stance slightly and the other beast took it's chance. It's sharp, bladed tail swung around it's insect-like body and pierced it through the hunter's chest and pushed the hunter away from it's body. The beast grabbed the hunter's arms and pulled it closer, as the segments on it's tail ripped it's organs apart. The beast looked into the hunter's mask and opened it's mouth. The hunter was experiencing the one emotion it was never suppost to feel. Fear. It never got to yell in terror before a sharp, tubular appendage shot through his mask and into it's skull. The beast had been kind to his adversary. It quickly got down on all fours and rushed to the back of the ship as it started to be pulled into the gravity of the nearby planet. The beast traveled to it's nest with great hast to warn it's queen. The queen had foreseen it's fate and had already gathered the Hive. The beast had entered the nest and was greeted by it's brothers and sisters. It confused the beast. He asked the Queen and she explained. He gave the beast one final task before she and the Hive died. To take the last egg she laid and put it inside of her chest cavity. The beast was honored to do this for the queen. But was also away that killing the queen to do with would cause the rest of the Hive great pain as their connection to her was severed. But it did as it was told and used it's tail to cut open her chest. Her acidic blood pouring on it's tail; melting it. The beast hissed in pain but grabbed the egg and slowly pushed it into the queen's chest. It's soft shell protecting itself from the acid. The queen gave one final nod to her servant and curled around herself so she could protect the egg, even in death. And with that, the queen passed away. The hive all curled up around their dead queen and screeched in mourning. And that is how they laid when the ship entered the planet's atmosphere. It's how they laid as the ship crashed through many trees, causing the cloak to fail. It's how they laid as the blast covered everything inside fire. The only thing that remained is their now charred exoskeletons and a single egg inside the dead queen.
And that my dear friends, Is another chapter.
