The Perfect Warrior
Chapter 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterJason was not a happy person. Waking up in a strange place was something that he didn't really like. Not after his time on the Rook Islands. So after he woke up in a place he didn't recognize, of course he was going to be hostile. Wouldn't you?
"Let me the fuck out!" Jason was still pounding away at the bubble.
"No! You attacked me and held a knife to my throat!"
"That's right I did you fucking animal!" He pounded on the bubble once more.
"Why can't you be civil?! What did I ever do to you?" Twilight walked closer to the bubble, inspecting the trapped creature. His face was filled with grief. Or... something that looked like grief.
"...Can you at least make this thing bigger?" He asked, his tone more calm than before. "My damn legs are cramping up."
"Promise me you won't keep hitting the shield? It's giving me a headache."
"I won't hit it unless you try to pull something funny."
She nodded at this and focused her magic to make the bubble more accommodating for the creature. She watched him sit down in the dirt and proceeded to pull the stone knife from his side, he inspected it.
After what seemed like hours, but was more likely minutes, Twilight decided to speak up.
"My name's Twilight Sparkle. What's yours?" She said in a friendly tone, but was not smiling. Jason put the stone knife back in to his belt and looked at Twilight.
"...Jason. Jason Brody." He looked down at his belt and spotted something that brought a smile to his face. He pulled out an L shaped object and examined it. He flicked a small switch on the side of it and pulled something from the bottom if it. He looked at the object and placed it in his lap. He placed his hand on the top of the object and pulled back, letting a small shiny object pop out. He put the metal thing down and picked up the tiny object and put it in the thing that slid out of the whole.
"What is that?" Twilight asked, curious about the thing in the creatures hands.
"Nothing to worry about." Jason replied.
Twilight's ears splayed back slightly at the reply, but she thought nothing of it. She continued to watch Jason fiddle with the tiny object before he put it back in its respective place. That was when she noticed the thing on his arm. A bunch of black marks decorating a good chunk of him.
"Is that your cutie mark?" Twilight asked as she stared at the marks.
"What?" Jason asked, confused as to what a cutie mark even was.
"Those marks on your arm..." Jason looked at this Tatau. "Is that your cutie mark?"
"What the hell is a cutie mark?" He asked, looking back and forth from his Tatau to the purple pony.
"A cutie mark is the representation of your talent!" She showed him hers. "Mine is magic. Everypony who has one found out what they were good at."
"No this isn't a cutie mark... Well. It's something like it... I guess." He looked at his forearm, the design signifying the many skills he picked up over his time on the islands.
"What do they mean?" She asked, genuinely curious about what they meant.
"You don't want to know." He said grimly. And it was the truth, she really wouldn't.
Twilight was about to say something before she heard the sound of wings flapping behind her. She turned and saw both Celestia, Luna, and a plethora of royal guards flying down to them.
"Celestia! Luna! I'm so glad you could make it in such a short time."
"We came as soon as we received the letter! Are you alright?!" Celestia said in a panicked tone. Unlike her at all.
"Yeah I'm alright." Twilight reassured. "After I captured him, he calmed down."
"Is that him?" Luna asked. "Is that the one that assaulted thou?" She pointed to Jason with a hoof. Twilight nodded, unsure of what to do.
Luna began to march to the bubble and shot a beam of magic, dispelling the bubble entirely and used her magic to lift Jason into the air. He stared at her with a stony face.
"THOU ASSAULTED A PRINCESS OF EQUESTRIA, DEMON! WHY SHOULD WE NOT BANISH YOU TO THE DEPTHS OF TARTARUS?!"
"Fuck you! That's why!" Jason said, before coughing something up and spitting it at her. Luna shrieked as the thick substance splattered all across her muzzle. She dropped Jason who fell to a knee. She used her magic to wipe away the thick spit and turned to kick Jason square in the chest, but she was off and kicked his knee out of place. A crunch and a pained yell filled the air as the human fell to the ground. Luna smirked as the human writhed on the ground.
"Take that!" She taunted.
Celestia and Twilight watched as Luna's eyes went wide when the human got to his feet, his leg bent at an unnatural angle. And with one swift motion and a scream of pain, the leg was back in place. What was he?!
"I'll fucking stab you for that!" Jason pulled the stone knife. It was glowing slightly with the same blue aura it had earlier.
"Enough!" Celestia shouted and created another bubble around the human, this one a golden yellow instead of Twilight's lavender. A rabid look on the humans face as he looked at Luna, pounding away at the bubble.
"Stop that, you're not escaping." She calmly stated as she trotted forward. "Sister, why did you have to anger him more? He may have threatened ponies, but he did not bring harm to anypony."
"Are thou crazy sister!? Can you not see that he is out for blood?!"
"Yeah! Yours! I'll skin you and wear you like a coat!" He threatened as he continued his assault on the bubble. Twilight watched as the two sister conversed about the trapped creature named Jason. But she noticed something, the more he pounded on the magic bubble, the more angry he got. And the more angry he got, the knife seemed to glow brighter and brighter. Before becoming engulfed in blue flames. He stopped pounding at the bubble and looked at the knife.
"Uhm... Princess?" Twilight said, trying to get the attention of Celestia.
"Yes Twilight?" She asked, turning her head to her fellow princess.
"Look." Twilight pointed a hoof at Jason. She was shaking in fear at the sight.
Celestia turned to look where she was pointing, and what she saw surprised her. Inside the bubble was a now flaming Jason. He writhed as the blue fires consumed him. As soon as all eyes were on him he thrust the knife into the bubble. The knife slicing through the magic like a heated knife through butter. He swung the knife upwards, slicing the bubble in two, canceling the spell. Twilight noticed the cutie mark on his arm was still visible, even through the intense flames.
"IT BURNS!" He screamed in agony. "AND I LOVE IT!" He laughed like a madman before lunging at Luna. Jason's memories coursing though his mind, all of the pirates he had killed, all the things he had done. His life on Rook Island was not an easy one, not even close, but it was one that he had come to enjoy as his once stable mind slipped into the insanity of it all. Luna raised a shield and blocked Jason from coming any further. Celestia casted a sleep spell on the frenzied Jason. He fell to the ground in an instant.
"What was that?!" Twilight screamed. Scared beyond reason at what she just saw.
"I don't know. But we know now that he is certainly a threat." Celestia conjured magical shackles around the wrists of the human and levitated the knife away. Well... she tried to at least. As she tried to grasp the burning knife in her magic, she gasped in pain as an invisible force burned at her horn. She looked at Jason with a furrowed brow.
"Luna... Can you go into his mind and found out what you can? I can handle everything out here." Luna nodded and a white tendril of magic snaked its way from her horn, to Jason's forehead. She laid down as she felt her sisters magic levitate her from her place.
"Let us go to the castle Twilight." Celestia said as she brought Jason and Luna up in her magic.
"What is this place?" Luna asked nopony in particular as she looked around. There were large hills of dirt with grass growing on the top of them. As she looked around she noticed Jason underneath a tree holding a strange object. She trotted up next to him. Well, it wasn't really him, more of a shadow. Looked like him but it wasn't... him.
As she stopped next to him she looked to what he was looking at. Down below them, was a field of tiny bushes and bunch of creatures that looked the same as Jason, they were everywhere. There were hundreds of them! She looked back to Jason as he moved. He grabbed a handle on the strange object and pulled, a hissing noise was heard. Not a moment later, Jason muttered only a few words.
"That's alotta weed."
