Chapter 4: An Evil Plan In Motion

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Meanwhile in a cave, far off from the rest of Ponyville and Canterlot, that mysterious creature that had watched Xavier when he first went through that forest, he came walking in himself revealing he was a human as well. There were plenty of other humans all coming through a custom built portal too while managing to mask their presence from the princesses of Equestria.

That wasn't the troubling thing however, these were humans wearing some sort of human made armor, something you'd see from a sci-fi film basically. Since they had no other protection against equestrian magic in terms of physical defense, it would have to do for now at least until they knew for absolute certain what could make them immune to equestrian magic, which is a luxury of time they did not have. Yet that wasn't all they had, they were carrying crates of weapons, as well as carrying other crates filled with rope.

The mysterious figure approached a crate and placed his right hand on it. His appearance was one of intimidation, thick black body armor with a red skull spray-painted over his helmet that went around the main visor of his helmet to the bottom of the helmet. He had red spray-paint all over his armor as well, just not in any sort of emblem or symbol and underneath all that armor he was a tall 7'2, white skin toned, bald and clean shaven bulky person.

Hot hair escaped the very front of the helmet where his mouth would be as he began to speak up. Where his voice was rugged but rather robotic sounding thanks to the voice changer within his helmet.

"Have the stun guns arrived safely? Or is this another batch of rope sent our way by our employer?" asked the man in the black armor.

"These are the stun guns sent by our employer sir. So now that we got our weapons and rope, can we proceed to actually capture all of the ponies of Equestria so we can get this job done?" asked the random mercenary that was sitting on another crate.

"Not yet, we have to make sure Xavier takes the bait with the portal. Our employer doesn't want him interfering with his plans in case if he actually accepts these ponies friendship, highly doubtful it will happen though" replied the man with the red painted skull on his helmet.

"Oh come on! we've been sitting here two weeks, I want some action, though remind me why are we here to capture the ponies anyways Garold?" asked the same random soldier, having also revealed the name of the man in the black armor.

"Because our employer wants the strong slaves to help him build his empire, while the weak are being sold for other purposes. I'm not complaining though as long as I get my money" Garold replied once more.

"Okay I know were here for that, but I mean why capture ponies when he has enough warships to go to Xavier's time-line to take over the world like he keeps going on about!" exclaimed that mercenary.

"He can't be for certain he has enough warships, and apparently ponies work a lot quicker than humans. Oh I should mention he wants the princesses dead so the ponies have no hope. So save your lethal weapons for the princesses, the rest are a capture alive only. And if I catch a single one of you killing a pony that isn't one of the princesses. I will give you a bullet myself" replied Garlond.

This made all the mercenaries in the room go silent, continuing too haul in the weapon crates and rope crates through the portal. Although the force wasn't exactly a huge invasion force, in fact only about five hundred mercenaries, they had re-reinforcements coming which would bolster their numbers by another five hundred. Not to mention they needed as much ammunition and rope as possible to capture every pony in equestria.

As two mercs haul in the last two crates, one mercenary starts patting his leg then another starts doing the same, then another. All of a sudden they start bobbing their heads as they began too pretty much prepare for a song of their own, starting to look towards Garlond for the main singer. Garlond just started off the song by just talking, walking around and dragging his hands across his soldier's shoulders while he sang.

The song mostly consists of who cares what happens to any-pony and that they'll be so rich they will swim like millionaires in their own money. Though the song gets a bit dark when one mercenary starts making hand shadows of what would happen to the ponies, the hand-shadow consisted of rope against their neck and being dragged around to work. One line even consisting of feeling the hot burn of rope against their neck as they were dragged, which by the end of the song all the mercenaries are bursting into maniacal laughter.

Meanwhile back at the camp where Twilight and her friends were at they were having a conversation about what to do now that they had finished their breakfast together. Xavier having been the last to eat his breakfast, and the cutie mark crusaders were obviously the first ones to finish eating their breakfast since they wanted to play rather than eat breakfast.

Xavier himself got a tad of a bad feeling behind himself, looking over his shoulder he stares back at the forest like as if he almost heard the song somehow, his eyes giving a long stare towards the entrance of the forest. His gaze is cut short when Twilight pokes him and asks what's wrong.

The only reaction that Twilight got from Xavier was him just telling her it was nothing, just thought that he heard something. Standing up from the blanket he was sitting on with the rest of the ponies he began to stretch out his arms and legs, sounds of pops coming from him as those bones adjusted within his body. Though he stops in the middle of his stretch and looks around, having not noticed the cutie mark crusaders anywhere.

"Uh, where are the CMC?" asked Xavier, was he really asking where ponies were? Though it was probably his concern talking since they were still kids.

And just like that he's tackled from behind by the Cutie Mark Crusaders making him fall forward onto his chest like a rock, Applebloom, Sweetiebell and Scootaloo climbing all over him and wrestling him, this got Twilight and the others to giggle quite loudly at seeing the foals just being well foals.

"I got his leg!" Shouted Applebloom

"I got his arms!" shouted Sweetiebell

"Oh yeah! Well I got his head! That's how you take down a giant!" shouted Scootaloo.

Xavier's blood was boiling at being tackled and his limbs being held against his will like this, for fillies they were rather strong is something he had to admit, or well at least Applebloom was strong compared to the rest of the two fillies. Trying to hold in his rage so he doesn't snap at them becomes impossible when Scootaloo accidentally turns his head a certain ways that gives him some pain in the neck, his arms and legs start to kick violently which scares the fillies off of him once he shouts.

"WOULD YOU GET OFF OF ME!" he snapped.

The CMC quickly hid behind the mane 6, Twilight was a little furious at this but Applejack ends up being the one that snaps at Xavier first for his scare he gave the fillies when they were just playing around with him.

"Whats the big idea scaring the young foals here?!" shouted AJ

"I don't like being touched, at all, they were touching me all over. I HATE being touched" lied Xavier.

"We're really sorry Xavier, we wont do that ever again, promise" said Applebloom in the most apologetic tone she can do at the moment, even though right now she was terrified of him.

"Yeah well don't let it happen again" scoffed Xavier.

AJ glared at Xavier then began to roll her eyes as she turns her attention back to the fillies and lets her big sister side come out, or rather a very mother side as she checks all three of them for any bruises, cuts and so on. The CMC just groaning the whole time and telling her to stop as it's rather embarrassing.

Twilight and the others giggle except Xavier whose getting up to brush himself off still plenty annoyed with the situation at hand he starts to take his leave of the group to get some peace and quiet until it was time too head out again. Which came very quickly, not even getting a half hour of peace and quiet to himself thanks to Twilight and Rarity's magic with packing everything up.

And yet again Pinkie Pie starts talking non-stop as they walk, though Pinkie stops her rambling when again Xavier snaps at Pinkie Pie, this time involving a curse word at her which gets all of the ponies except Twilight and Pinkie to glare at Xavier as he walks ahead of the group.

Twilight takes this as an opportunity to rush up to Xavier's side and walking side by side with him where they proceed to talk calmly to eachother.

Rainbow Dash's glare went away rather quick though when she saw Twilight doing this Rainbow was getting absolutely jealous at this time as she began to assume Twilight was moving onto her crush.

"I can't believe that!" muttered Rainbow, yet it was loud enough for AJ to pick up on it.

"Can't believe what?" asked the orange earth pony.

"Oh nothing, it's nothing!" exclaimed Rainbow rather loudly having just noticed what she said.

"Don't play dumb with me Rainbow, I know I heard ya'll say something" replied AJ.

"Nope you just heard things" countered Rainbow as she just grins to herself.

AJ was getting frustrated again at Rainbow Dash, something she was just getting sick and tired of at this point but Pinkie Pie spots this almost immediately and grins as she does what she normally does. Break the 4th wall entirely or in this case making it non-existant due to how many times she's broken it in the past.

Taking a deep gasp she starts spurting out her words at a very quick pace, one of her fastest talking voices to date that AJ herself has a hard time understanding everything Pinkie said.

"Rainbow Dash has a huge crush on Xavier and she's getting really, really jealous cause she thinks Twilight is moving onto her crush cause of how quick Twilight went up there to talk with him about what's wrong, Oh! OH! like she did last night when Xavier was having really really bad nightmares yet his nightmares turned to a dream where he almost kissed Twilight and that's when I woke him up with my party cannon!" exclaimed the Pink earth pony.

Xavier heard all of this behind him and he just stood there along with Twilight, jaw completely dropped and frozen solid. Rainbow Dash trying to process everything she heard into the proper emotion, heck! She didn't know what emotion she should stick with because one moment she's feeling angry then confused, jealous and so on.

Before any-pony can even respond to Pinkie's antics again she breaks the 4th wall a second time all within a matter of minutes.

"Oh like the narrator is telling a story about himself through a third person perspective in this story! And he's feeling really, really confused right now that he had to end the chapter early compared to his other chapters that people have been reading for a short while today! Gasp! Oh my gosh! We're in a story! Hi readers! CAN YOU RED EVERYTHING I SAY?! THATS SO COOL! creepy, BUT COOL!"

Welp....TO BE CONTINUED.....I guess?
