Chapter 9 - Orc and Elf relations, Nightmares
Previous ChapterNext ChapterNo-Mans Land (two days later)
Location - 3 miles south of Sanctuary, Storm Orc Tribe caravan
Tony was standing onto of a carriage that contained the dozen youngsters of the tribe, he volunteered escort them to Sanctuary where Mayor Sweet Heart was more then happy to let them take up residences in the destroyed section of the town, she was especially excited by that fact that not only were there warriors who would be stronger Guards but there were miners and builder too, convincing Uric was incredibly simple in comparison to Sweet Heart. Tony had received another set of armour from Smitty, it was a medium plate armour made from giant sand Crab's exoskeleton that inhabited No mans land, along with Tony's armour, he had brought his sniper rifle, shotgun and Brute shot.
It had been two days since Shining was convicted and a day since Tony and Cadence watched from a stage in Canterlot as Princess read off Shining's crimes, no pony believed her until Cadence took centre stage, the second she was seen, there was an uproar by the crowd, they all wanted Shining's blood, some even wanted him to hang for attacking a princess and that's when Shining lunged at Cadence with a shiv in mouth, only to be kicked in the side of the head by Tony, when the crowd looked at the human in fear and awe, Celestia announced that he was Captain Anthony Bell, which annoyed Tony as he wasn't a captain anymore and didn't deserve it. Shining was dragged back into the centre of the stage before he was transformed into a mare, then he was put into heat followed by nightmare spell along with a phantom spell before he was teleported away. Celestia then announced that his Roche and property would become the property of Cadence and his family,
The caravan had received little to no problems, save for a giant sand worm that ended up with a active plasma grenade down its throat, causing all of the Orcs to gasp in awe and horror as the worm's head detonated in a wave of blue fire. The rest of the ride was uneventful as they reached Sanctuary, where the guard lead the orcs to the spot designated for them as Jason headed home with Mayli in toe, she smiled as she walked even as she stood a good foot taller then Tony, who was 6 foot 5. As they arrived, Tony was greeted by Fleur who was wearing a saddle bag and a soft smile as she watched the human and Orc enter the house with her.
"Okay Tony, please try these on" he said as he began to strip, forgetting about the Orc in the room who was taking her chance to inspect her fiancé with a grin. Tony reached his boxers as he tried on his suit, it was a simple black on white suit with Celestia's Cutie mark over his heart.
"It fits well" he said doing several stretches to check the stitching and how much room he had before giving a nod "damn I haven't worn a suit for over a decade" he sighed as he watched Fleur levitate the rest of his clothes out of her saddlebags and placed them down on the couch as Tony changed out of his suit, folding it up nearly before slipping on a tan shirt and shorts with a smile.
"Another satisfied customer" she said with a smile. "Don't worry about payment as it was paid for by the crown" she said as Tony walked her to the door "you know if you ever want to catch up, ask the princess about me" she said before leaving.
Shook his head when the two were back inside "so let's how you to the rest of the herd" he said to Mayli.
"Th... That sounds like a good idea" she said shyly.
'Shy is shy and yet she is covered in plate armour and the tallest and most likely the strongest of her tribe' he thought as he led her up stairs to find Chrys asleep with her head hanging off the bed while Cadence was preening her good wing. The moment Cadence say Mayli, she freaked and attempted to blast Mayli, unfortunately, Tony was in the way.
Equestria (next day)
Location - Sanctuary, Medical centre
Tony groaned as he came to laying on a hospital bed connected to a heart monitor, he had bandages over his chest which made him raise an eyebrow. As he looked around he noticed that Cadence was sleeping on a chair, laying her forelegs and head on his legs which made him smile as he reached down with a grunt and stroked her mane causing her to coo in delight before she suddenly sat up and looked at him upset. "I'm sorry, I sorry, I'm sorry" she said wrapped her forelegs around his head as she laid on him, unfortunately, the hospital beds were not built to hold a 400 pound Alicorn and a 150 pound human, the bed gave out causing Tony to groan as the pink Alicorn landed on him.
"It's fine Cadence, you were surprised" he said stroking her cheek as she sniffled.
"But I blasted you out the window, and down the slope behind your house" she said with a frown.
'There is a slope behind my place?' He thought "it's fine Candy" he said causing her to blush.
"Candy?" She asked
"What? You don't like it?" He asked as she shook her head "good I'm glad" he said.
"So why didn't you tell us that you were engaged?" She asked.
"It was kind of spontaneous on her father's part" he said as a Zebra in doctor fatigues entered the room, looked at the destroyed bed before groaning and leaving the room.
"So Mayli is really tall and shy" Cadence said as she got comfortable.
"Yea, how did Chrys react?" He asked.
"She wouldn't stop talking about how Mayli's teats were twice the size of your head" she said causing Tony to laugh. "Um so she go the impression that I am in your herd?" She said.
"Well yea, you wanted to join" he said "unless you didn't really want to?" He said.
"No no no I do, I really do, I have always wanted to be in one, it's just didn't think you were comfortable with being so open to have a second hand mare as your partner" she said sadly.
"And? Your beautiful, who gives a fuck if your second hand or what ever, you have a chance to start a clean slate" he said making her smile and kiss his cheek.
"Thank you" she said as Mayli and Chrys entered the room.
"And that is why I am not allowe to be admitted here" Chrys stated a she was 894 pounds.
"Yea, so did you know about the slope?" Tony asked.
"Yes I did, didn't you?" Chrys said with a smile as Tony got up from the broken bed with Cadence in his arms before placing her down on her feet, she stood about a foot shorter then him.
"No i didn't" he said with a smile as Mayor Sweet Heart burst in.
"Tony we need your help" she said a he nodded an followed her, His herd followed him as Chrys used her magic to summon his armour onto him as they reached a room will a tall male human, except the human'a eyes were rotated and he had pointed ears, not to mention he was covered in wounds. "Sir, this is Sanctuary's Captain of the Guard to help you" she said getting a raised eyebrow from Tony, "Sanctuary didn't have a guard captain and seeing as you killed a dragon just after you arrived, I made you Captain" she said before leaving as Tony approached the male.
"Hello there Sir, my name is Anthony I'm a...." He was saying before ring cut off.
"You are a human, or Ranger as they liked to be called, my name is Bri'nak and I am an Elf" he said weakly. "My village I under attack from Caribou forces, please help" he begged.
"What's a Caribou?" He asked confused.
As he said that, Chrys transforms into a deer. "This is a Caribou, they are incredibly racist and sexist, " she said.
"Please Ranger, you must save my home, out population is 70% female and the Caribou are taking out women as sex slaves while killing our few men" he said as Tony growled before turning the Chrys. "Wait here" he said handing Tony a black home stone which he nodded.
"I'll save them, Chrys take us home so I can gear up" he asked as she nodded and teleported his heard back to his home before he instantly went to his armoury and attached his Hydra leather armour, which Smitty upgraded to have a bandoleer on its chest and holster for all his small fire arms, he packed DMR magazines into several pockets before he slung his DMR before grabbing his Spiker and several clips that he slotted into spare bandoleer pockets. He then moved to grab several grenades, ranging from frag to spike. Lastly he grabbed a shield unit and attach it to his wrist before grabbing his gravity hammer and plasma pistol as he returned into the room to see the three looking at him in shock as he pulled his hood and cowl up before activating the home stone and vanishing.
No-Mans Land
Location - Elven Village
Status - under siege
ODST's Orders - kill all Caribou, rescue Elves
The captain of the Elves was currently on her knees, her armour punctured from magic bolts and swords, most of the village was captured and gathered in the town square, the remaining of her guard and her Princess were fighting in the small castle nearby, Mil'nak had sent her son to go get help and was hoping that he could find help as a tall brown Caribou in steel armour that was decorated in runes, he was the bastard commander of the attack and he was currently selecting his 'trophies', he marked each with a red paint.
All seemed lost until Mil sensed it, the faint energy that a Home stone produced, 'Why is Bri coming home?' She thought as she saw the flash of light in front of her, blinding her and everyone else but the sight in front of her when her vision returned chilled her to the bone.
"Standing almost 6 and a half feet tall was a being covered in Hydra leather, it had weird metal objects that remind her of Griffion Crossbows but sleek and refined, the most defining feature was the 6 foot war hammer which it's head crackle with energy along with having a blade on the back of the head, after a few moments the being was struck with magic from all sides only for the spells to detonate harmlessly against it before it scanned the area with it's mismatched eyes before locking on the nearest Caribou. Before anyone could react, the being was upon the deer and brought it's war hammer down in a diagonal swing, smacking the soldier with a loud boom, but instead of knocking the Deer down. The Caribou's upper body was turned to paste as it's armour shattered from the strike, sending its lower half flying with ogre spewing from it. The other Caribou were left speechless as the being continue to attack, killing Caribou left right and centre in brutal ways, some where crushed into the ground, some sent flying and some bisected when it used the bladed side of the hammer.
"What are you doing you fools?! Attack this freak with everything we've got" the Commander yelled as he drew his sword along with the dozen remaining Caribou, "in the name of King Dainn we shall sla.....ahhhh!" He was saying when a glowing 8 inch spike impaled itself into his front left leg, causing hi to cry out and fall to the ground, Mil looked at the being which was holding a small cross bow that instead of the bow strings, hand to curved blades on its muzzle. The Caribou roared in anger and charged as the being shot them with spikes, killing them or mortally wounding then before they could get close, the few that did ended up with their throats sliced open or loosing their head all together. In a matter of minutes, the army of 40 elite Caribou soldiers that over powered two hundred of Elves, now laid dead or dying in the dirt as the unknown creature walked to each surviving Caribou and put them out of their misery until he reached the Commander and placed it's boot against his throat and crushed it, leaving him to drown on his own blood.
"That was surprisingly easy, fuck I didn't even need most of my gear" the creature said in a masculine voice before it turned to face the elves as it holstered it's weapons and removed it's hood and cowl to show it was a human. "I've got to say I'm a little disappointed" he sighed as he placed his massive hammer on the groin after rotating a piece of it, disabling it enchantment before he holster his crossbow, he stretched before approaching Mil. "Hello, a guy named Bri'nak asked me to come give you lot a hand, so here I am and I have got to ask, how did these deer over power you?" He asked, at the mention of her son, Mil looked at him with her utmost attention.
"They poisoned our water supply with a temporary magic inhibitor, and then attacked us during the night, there is still their honest guard who are after our Princess," she said as she noticed the group of ten gold armoured Caribou walking towards them with several Elf guards and a young female elf in platinum plate armour. "Oh no" Mil said as the human turned to look at the honour guard before drawing a purple C shaped object and rose to his full height.
"What have you don't freak?!" The Caribou with the purple crest to his armour demanded as the human stepped towards the group.
"I killed them" he said as the Captain of the honour Guard growled and ordered two of his soldiers to attack, only for them to be hit in the chest by green energy, which proceeded to turn their gold plating on their chests to molten slag making them scream out in pain an drop to the ground trying to pull the plating off as it melted into their chests and hooves. Everyone looked shocked at what just happened as the human continued his advance, blasting the two fallen Guards in the head, killing them instantly before he stopped and produced a blue orb that resembled a Luna Stone.
"Wait we will give you the prisoners if you give us that Luna stone?" The captain asked as his guards pushed the elves forward.
'Please don't give it to them' mil begged in her head
The human simply shrugged and passed the stone to the captain, who caught it as the elves made it to human. "What have you done?!" The Princess asked.
"Haha now you shall pay for what to have done frea.... Why is it glowing?" The captain was stating until the stone began to glow on his hoof, he tried to drop it but it was stuck, causing him to freak out a little. "Help me you fools" he order the remaining honour guard, who surrounded him. A moment later a massive explosive erupted from he middle of them, sending them back in all directions, there armour sizzling with their flesh as they laid dead.
"Oh I forgot to mention, that was a plasma grenade not a moon rock " he said as he turned to the Princess who looked at him shocked. He offered his hand with a soft smile "my name is Tony" he said as the princess took his hand still dumbstruck.
"Princess Elise" she replied.
Equestria (one day later)
Location - Sanctuary, Tony's home
Tony had returned after saving the village of Evergreen as he ha to talk to the Mayor about bringing the remaining 100 Elves to Sanctuary as Evergreen wasn't safe, between majority of their guard dead, their water supply poisoned as te Caribou watching them. He manage to convince her as the Elves of Evergreen apparently were brilliant hunters, cloths makers and Doctors, which Sanctuary needed a their only medical professional was an Alchemist Zebra name who was nicknamed Strip as no one could pronounce his name.
Things went well at first, until the Orcs caught wind of the Elves moving in, apparently a good thousand or two years ago, Elves enslaved the Orc race. Of course the Orcs were extremely bitter about it and the Elves didn't help by being up themselves, but they quickly changed their tunes when they were confront by Tony, he managed to get a start on the two races making friends.
Tony was currently laying in his bed, deciding to sleep in for the first time in over a decade, nothing was gonna get him out of his bed until he decided that he wanted to, Chrys agreed with the Idea and was currently using him as a pillow as Cadence was out with Mayli. He woke up at 8am so he decided simply to stroke his hand down Chrys' spin slowly and repeatedly while laying on the cloud bed, Chrys seamed to love this idea as she was literally purring and slightly drooling on him as she slept. It was peaceful for the veteran, no war to worry about, no danger attacking the town, just him and his head mare relaxing until his bedroom door burst open a Uric with three Orcs and Elise with four Elves walked in, the sudden noise scared Chrys awake as she jumped, slicing Tony's cheek with her horn. Tony growled as he sat up and looked at the two arguing races, it took a moment for them to notice the pissed off human pulling his magnum from his best side table, he looked at the 8 people in his room with a dark look as blood trickled down his cheek. "Now that I have your attention.... What the fuck is going on?" He asked in a calm voice.
"Um I'm sorry Ranger but I just found out that Uric has arranged for you to marry an Orcish Princess" Elise stated causing Tony to look at he confused.
"The child of an Orc Chief is called a prince or princess" Uric explained getting a nod from Tony.
"Yes well anyway, I couldn't have you married off to and Orc and have their kind have a significance advantage if they leave Sanctuary and decide to take you using Mayli" Elise said getting a glare from Uric.
"Why would we leave Sanctuary or take advantage of Tony, buck he is dead set on live here" Uric stated.
"I still don't like it," Elise said crossing we arms.
"The what is going to make you feel better?" Tony asked her.
"If you married an Elf of equal or higher status" she said with a smile.
"Um okay fine then do you have any recommendations?" He asked.
"Yes I will have then over in a few moments." She said.
"No tomorrow" he said.
"What why?" She asked confused.
"Well this is the first day in a 11 years that I had a chance to sleep in and relax, so I am going to enjoy it with the mare I care about" he said as Chrys nuzzled him "so come over tomorrow please, and we will deal with it tomorrow, alright?" He asked which got a nod from the Elves and Orcs before they apologised and left. Tony placed his magnum back in his bedside draw before he winched as the wound on his cheek was healed.
"Sorry I got you sweetie" Chrys said with a smile as Tony smiled and laid back down in the centre of the bed and Chrys retook her position, not a moment later a pink Alicorn entered the room with a big smile on her face followed by an Orc female.
"Hey you two" Tony said as cadence nuzzled his cheek before stepping out of her shoes and climbing into the be next to him. "What did you both get up to today?" He asked as Mayli stripped her plate armour and laid behind Chrys. 'Shit this is gonna get more complicated with a fucking elf and another Alicorn' he thought.
"Oh nothing, we met Smitty who offered Mayli work and a tutorship as she has decent blacksmithing skills" Cadence said as he looked to May and smiled at her as she hide her face in Chrys's mane causing Chrys to make a confused face.
"I still have to get use to this" Chrys said.
"You and me both" Tony said as Cadence placed her muzzle in the crook of his neck and relaxed. "You better not start licking me again Candy" he sai making her giggle.
"I was grooming you" she said.
"Yea but you licking my ears feels weird" he stated as she giggled. Tony smiled back as he felt something clasp his hand, it was a larger hand which made him look at Mayli who squeaked when he did.
"It's fine don't be frightened" he said with a smile as she nodded. After a few moments Tony was asleep along wit the others, Chrys was being spooned and cuddled by Mayli which Chrys seemed to enjoy.
Eureka Province (5 years earlier)
Location - northern Trench line
Status - Heavy Covernant fire.
Marine's orders -hold the line.
"Lieutenant! We lost the western AA gun"
"Take it back, we can't loose those guns"
"Lieutenant! Wraith inbound"
"Mark them for artillery"
"Lieutenant! Covernant forces pushing the western end"
"Kill the Elites and let the grunts and jackels scatter"
These were the noises Tony heard to realise that he was reliving the day he lost his best friend from boot camp, he looked around the small command bunker as marine runners came in and out of the entrance to scream status update at him, his best friend 'Sargent Wilken' was standing with him looking at the holographic battle ground, Tony remembered that this battle was an exceptionally taxing one, as Tony hadn't slept red in a few days, he sighed as he was stuck for the ride when two flashes of light appeared next to him, showing Luna and a Black Alicorn floating next to him.
"Hello Tony, we are happy to see thou again" Luna said as the black Alicorn looked around the memory just as a team of marines came in shouting about Evac had arrived.
"That's great to hear, um who is your friend?" He asked gaining the black alicorn's attention.
"My name is Nightmare Moon, it's a pleasure to meet a being that was born on a moon" she said with a bow.
"The pleasure is mine Moon" he said making her smile and Luna growl slightly.
"We have come to ask thou a question" she said just as a massive explosion happened around them, catching her attention, they turned
Watch several tall elites drop into the trench with energy swords and begin cutting down marines, the elites were being taken down just a fast as one lunged at Tony, only to be intercepted by Wilken, Wilken was quickly impaled and thrown out of the trench as Tony fired his shotgun into the elites face repeatedly. The dream suddenly ended with a flags of Moon's horn.
"I am sorry about making to relive that war but I was simply curious" she said looking at Tony.
"It's fine I guess but don't do it again as I don't want to see my friends die again" he said making her frown as Luna poked him.
"We have a question?" Luna asked.
"Yes?" Tony asked.
"Will thou court us and Nightmare Moon?" She asked.
