The Mighty Lu Bu
Chapter 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAll of the ponies, including the princesses, were eyeing the pony that was covered in blood even as he turned towards them. None of them said a word until...
"Drop your weapon!" a masculine voice boomed.
Lu Bu turned and saw a squad consisting of six royal guards: two pegasi, a large muscular earth pony, and three unicorns-ready to attack him.
"Stand down, or we will resort to force!" barked the earth pony.
"Ha! Don't make me laugh. You couldn't even defeat those insects!" Lu Bu bellowed while the guards just shifted closer towards him.
Tension started building in the air as neither sides were willing to give up, but before either side could do anything a thundering voice boomed.
"STAND DOWN! ALL OF YOU!" Princess Celestia boomed using her royal Canterlot voice. This startled everypony in the room (excluding Lu Bu), as they never heard the princess spoke in that manner before. Hearing this, the guards immediately saluted and stand their grounds without taking their eyes off Lu Bu.
After a moment of silence, Princess Celestia started walking towards the squad. As she got nearer, they knelt before her "You may rise my little ponies." she said in a motherly tone. Then she turned her eyes to the earth pony " Captain , I appreciate your concern for our security. But this pony meant no harm to us. Even he just saved all of us and all of Equestria from certain doom." she said while keeping her poker face.
"I didn't come here to save you," Lu Bu spoke causing everypony to look at him.
"Then why did you come here my pony?" Celestia spoke in a motherly tone while Lu Bu growled at her.
"Listen here! I belong to no one! Say that again and you will wind up like those insects." Lu Bu threatened causing everypony eyes to widen at how he just threatened a princess and didn't seem bothered by it.
"Hey, there buster you don't talk to Princess Celestia like that you got that? " Asked a very angry Rainbow Dash.
"Oh yeah and what are you gonna do about it!? " Lu Bu replied with an amused expression on his face.
"I'm gonna kick your flank if you try to hurt our Princess! " Rainbow Dash replied.
"And I'll buck ya in your chest until ya can't even walk straight! " Said Applejack.
"If you try to hurt Princess Celestia I will make sure you won't go out unharmed. " Said Twilight.
"I knew you were a brute the moment I laid my eyes on you! " Rarity said.
Lu Bu swung his halberd around before pointing it at them causing them to step back while Shining and the royal guards looked ready to jump this pony. "I have slain many of those weaklings while you were all captured by them. So please try me!"
"Why do you have to kill those Changelings?" Celestia asked causing everypony to look at her seeing a grim expression.
"They attacked and were too weak to kill me. I AM LU BU! THE STRONGEST TO EVER LIVE!"
"More like the thickest head," Dash spoke only to gasp in fear as Lu Bu glared at her. "It was just a joke!"
"Humph!" Lu Bu twirled his halberd around before holding it at his side walking towards the broken doors.
"Hey! Where do you think you going!?" Rainbow shouted causing Lu Bu to stop and look at her.
"To find more battles since all of you are obvious too weak to fight." Lu Bu stated.
Before he could walk out though a young dragon ran through the doors panting. "Twilight! Are....you...." he trailed off as he looked up at the strange stallion who was now looking down at the dragon.
"Woah! who is this Twilight?" he said while looking at Lu Bu.
Before Twilight could respond to his question Lu Bu answered. "I am Lu Bu. Who are you?"
"Wow! that's cool! I am Spike, Twilight's number one assistant." he said proudly.
Lu Bu was a little flabbergasted as this dragon....kid stared at him with amazement instead of fear. Normally those who saw him would run away with fear while mothers would hide their children as Lu Bu neared or was reported near a village.
Eveypony stared at Lu Bu with different expressions on their faces, some were looks of terror, others were looks of curiosity.
Surprisingly, Cadence was the one to walk up, towards Lu Bu.
Lu Bu saw her approaching and readied to swing his halberd in case she tried or looked ready to do anything.
"Cadence!" Shining Armor shouted while running after his soon to be wife. "Don't get close to him."
"Shiny, that pony just saved not only our wedding; but also all of Canterlot." Cadence said.
'Wedding? They were getting married?' Lu Bu thought.
"Hello? It's ok, we won't hurt you." Cadence said.
"Ha! As if any of you could!" Lu Bu shouted.
Cadence continued her speech ignoring what he said. "Well Lu Bu, I think I speak for all of us when I say: Thank you for saving not only my wedding but also saving Canterlot and Princess Celestia." Cadence said.
"Humph." Lu Bu simply turned to walk out again only to be stop by a voice. "Wait." Lu Bu turned towards its owner to see Celestia walking towards him. "You should stay here."
"Are you commanding me?"
Celestia smiled. "No. I'm inviting you to a wedding. Whether you meant to or not you saved everypony and I thought it's only fair for the hero to stay."
"Not interested." With that being said, he turned to walk off. "There will be a party."
Lu Bu just ignored her as he neared the exit. "Awww! Who's going to help all this wine!?" Lu Bu stopped and turned only for his mouth to drop.
Everypony joined his jaw as sitting in the middle of the room was what appeared to be a hundred wine bottles, possibly more. Sitting on them was the pink pony.
Lu bu stared at before finally speaking. "I suppose I can stay for a little."
"YAY!" Pinkie shouted as she hugged Lu Bu who growled.
"Let go unless you wish to be split in half."
"Mares and gentlecolts, we are gathered here today not only to celebrate the union of the real Princess Mi Amore Cadenza--."
"Just Cadence is fine." Cadence cut Celestia off
The sun princess smiled in response. "The union of Princess Cadence and Shining Armor, but also a new hero. A hero who not only saved the wedding, but also all of Equestria."
'God this is boring.' Lu Bu thought while walking towards the wedding hall's double doors (which had been recently fixed thank magic for that)
The double a large red pony walking out of it. All of the ponies gasped when they saw the pony wielding a strange weapon. Lu Bu simply stared at them. "WHAT ARE YOU ALL LOOKIN AT!?" He shouted causing them to step back in fear while he simply walked until he stood behind Cadence and Shining Armor then he turned to face the crowd.
"My little ponies, may I introduce you to the hero who saved all of Equestria: Lu Bu." Celestia announced while Lu Bu just scoffed.
"Lu Bu, I can't thank you enough for the things you have done. From what I've seen; you are brave and heroic. I am happy you were on our side and not on Chrysalis'." Cadance said.
"Of course you were." Lu Bu spoke arrogantly.
"And I would like to thank you as well if you didn't come all will be lost now; we and all of Equestria is in your debt." Shining Armor said while giving Lu Bu a bow. To his surprise; all of the ponies bowed to him, even Princess Celestia herself. Lu Bu was so surprised he didn't even move.
"Now we shall continue why we are all here". Celestia said. "May we have the rings please?"
Spike walked up with the two rings on a small pillow, the rings were covered in a golden aura and levitated over towards Cadence and Shining Armor. The rings were put on each other’s horns. Cadence and Shining Armor smiled at each other.
"I now pronounce you: mare and colt." Celestia announced.
Cheers erupted from the ponies in the wedding room for the recently married couple. Cadence and Shining Armor walked towards the balcony. They stood outside and looked at the city of Canterlot below them. All of the ponies on the streets started cheering for them.
Lu Bu stood by the princess' side, and followed the princess and the rest of the main six to the balcony.
"Rainbow Dash, That’s your cue." Celestia said.
Rainbow Dash nodded in response and literally flew out of her dress. With an amazing speed, she performed her signature sonic rainboom high above Canterlot. "Best. Wedding. Ever!"
"What in the world!?"
As evening falls, Lu Bu was invited by Princess Celestia and the main six to attend the party that took place on the castle's gardens. Princess Cadance and Shining Armor were embracing each other tightly in a slow dance. Lu Bu simply sat at one table downing another bottle of wine then tossed the empty bottle behind him which was added to the twenty bottles. "This is good stuff!" The ponies could only watch shocked at this pony who should be drunk and passed out downing wine like it was nothing.
Celestia stood off to the side with the mane 6 as her sister flew in. She landed beside Princess Celestia "Hello everypony, did I miss anything?" she said in a soft tone.
The main six, Princess Luna and Princess Celestia looked at the scene with smiles planted on their faces; Rarity shed tears of happiness .
Pinkie Pie looked at Twilight, Twilight nodded and Pinkie Pie smiled with joy and made a little squeal.
She trotted over towards the DJ stand and somehow pulled Vinyl Scratch from behind it.
"Let’s get this party started!" Pinkie said while she grabbed a microphone with her mouth and threw it towards Twilight. Twilight caught the microphone with her magic and started singing.
Love is in bloom
A beautiful bride,
A handsome groom
Two hearts, becoming one
A bond that cannot be undone
Because love is in bloom
A beautiful bride, a handsome groom
I said love is in bloom
They’re starting a life and making room for us
Love is in bloom,
A beautiful bride, a handsome groom
I said, love is in bloom
They’re starting a life and making room for us
For us,
For us.
Though everypony was having fun, Celestia and Luna stared at Lu Bu. "Is that the pony that defeated the changelings?"
"Yes. He also seems to love to fight. I honestly fear he would hurt our ponies." Celestia spoke softly.
Luna stared at her sister. "You plan on imprisoning him?" Celestia silence was her answer.
Luna stared at the figure until an idea came up. "Instead of imprisoning him..."
Celestia turned towards her sister with a puzzled look.
"Why not let him serve in my night guard." Luna spoke.
Before Celestia could speak Luna held up a hoof. "My night guard love to fight and often spar with each other. Perhaps it could curb his blood lust."
Celestia didn't speak as she glanced back towards Lu Bu. She sighed. "Very well sister. Though I still worry."
"Fear not sister! He will be taken well care of by my ponies." Luna spoke.
