My Little Hero

Chapter Six

I frowned and growled softly. "Ya. Nice to meet you," I said with disapproval.

"So, I heard you needed my help," Princess Twilight said, not noticing my tone. "What can I help you with?"

"Don't worry about it, Princess," I said, putting a little more hate into the word. "I think I can handle it." With that, I turned and started to fly away.

"What was that about?" I heard Twilight ask Dash.

I growled as I went to a corner and sat down, watching the other ponies. Had I known their friend was a princess, I wouldn't have bothered trying to meet her. I didn't really like royalty, thanks to my home land. And now that I was looking at the thrones around the table, I noticed that on the back of each of them had the cutie marks of Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, and, I presume, Princess Twilight Sparkle. I noticed that the seventh chair was smaller and close to the Princess' chair, probably for an assistant or adviser. And sense she was an Alicorn also, it made sense why they thought I was a prince and would love to meet their princess.

"Not enjoying yourself?" I heard Discord say from beside me. I looked over and saw an image of him reflected in the wall.

"Why do you care?"

The image disappeared and he appeared on my other side, putting an arm around me. "Oh, the new pony is a party pooper, huh? I know the feelings. You know, sometimes I just want to create a world of chaos again. It use to be so much fun."

"Then why don't you?" I growled at him. "Actually, don't tell me. I don't care. Just send me home."

"I can't do that," he said. "I can't just send you to another world. I have some limitations after all." I didn't believe him, but I just rolled my eyes. "Why do you hate Twilight Sparkle?"

"'Princess' Twilight Sparkle," I growled, correcting him. "And it's her status that I hate. I don't like royalty."

"Well, you see, she wasn't always a princess."

"I'm sorry but I'm out of fucks to give. She would have been better off not becoming a princess. I don't want to deal with her or anyone who associates with her."

"Even Applejack?" I frowned and looked away. "I see. Well, like it or not, you're a friend of hers now. And she's a friend of 'Princess' Twilight. You'll have to deal with that."

"Whatever."

"Oh well, can't say I tried," he said before disappearing. I growled softly as I watched the other ponies.

It wasn't long before Rainbow Dash came over. "Hay, you," she said landing next to me. "What's the deal? You've been wanting to talk to Twilight about getting home. And Pinkie went to all this trouble to throw you this party. What's the deal?"

"I don't like parties," I said. "And I don't like royalty."

"Well, that's very uncool. Why don't you like royalty?"

"Because I don't," I growled, getting more angry. "I had to deal with royalty in my home land and I don't care for it. And every king or queen I've met since have been no better."

"But Twilight's different. She's the Princess of Friendship. She wasn't a princess until she found the power to become one. And she couldn't find that without us."

"I don't care," I growled more loudly. "I don't deal with princesses, princes, kings, or queens."

Dash frowned at me, starting to fly back up again. "And I thought you were cool."

"Hay!" shouted Pinkie Pie. "What are you two doing! Come on, this is a party after all!" She started to run over.

"I don't do parties," I growled.

"Oh, come on. Everypony parties!"

"Well, I'm not everypony." I felt myself heat up. Other ponies were stopping and noticing.

"What kind of prince are you?" Pinkie asked. I snapped.

"I AM NOT A FUCKING PRINCE, YOU GOD DAMN ANNOYING PONY!" And without thinking, I charged. I could feel the horn pierce her in her chest, her blood spraying over me. I could hear someone scream as the music cut out.

I stepped back, looking down at the lifeless body of Pinkie Pie laying in a pool of her own blood. I looked around at all the ponies that were staring in shock, Pinkie's blood running down my horn and face. I saw Fluttershy look horrified. "PINKIE PIE!" she shouted, falling to the ground in tears. I looked around and saw A.J. She stared at me in horror.

I looked back at Pinkie, realizing what I had done. Despite how annoying she was, she didn't deserve this. I could hear other ponies joining Fluttershy in tears.

"You're a monster!" I looked up again and saw the princess. She had apparently stepped forward to face me and was ready to fight me, anger and hate in her eyes. I looked down at the body again and made a decision. I had to move fast though. I turned my head away as I started to reach into the pockets of the suit.

"You killed her!" I heard Dash shout and she jumped at me. I looked at her and my horn glowed before I blasted her away from me. She hit a wall hard, though I knew she would be alright. I started to feel energy gathering by Twilight. I focused and pulled up a barrier as she fired a blast of her own at me. I held the shield as I focused more energy, looking over at the DJ set. Liquid copper oozed out of it and snaked over to me. It slithered around the barrier and went into my pocket. The metal pulled out a bottle and opened it.

Twilight tried sending another blast as Rarity joined her, streaks of mascara running down her face from her crying. I held the barrier but only just. I had to work faster. The metal dipped into the bottle and pulled out a blue gel filled pill. The metal ran down to Pinkie, moving the pill to her mouth.

"Don't you dare touch her!" Fluttershy screamed and she flew into the barrier. This kind of surprised me. She started ramming it hard, trying to attack me. Who knew she could be so violent?

The shield went down as the pill disappeared into Pinkie's mouth. Fluttershy tackled me and pinned me to the ground. The copper metal snaked around her and pulled her away. The other ponies started to charge at me.

"What's going on?" came a soft voice. The ponies stopped as they looked at Pinkie Pie. She was awake, and pushing herself up, the hole in her chest quickly healing.

"Pinkie Pie?" Twilight asked in shock. "Are you alright?"

"Ya, why shouldn't I be?" she asked. I let Fluttershy go as she fluttered over to her. "What happened? Did I die?" Her eyes widen. "Wait am I a ghost now?! Cool!" She ran over to the snack table, grabbed the table cloth in her mouth and pulled it out from under the food with ease. She wrapped it around herself and started to make ghost sounds. "Ooooh, I'm a Pinkie ghost. And I'm coming to get you." Her friends jumped on her, hugging her with excitement and glad she was alright.

I took this chance to sneak away. I got out of there with no problem and quickly grabbed my coat. My metal oozed around and slipped the coat on once I got the suit off and they formed into my jewelry. Then I ran to Sweet Apple Acres. I needed to get my stuff and get out of there before they came after me.
