Chapter 1: Jail Break
“Okay… I spy with my eye something with-”
“Grass.”
“You could’ve let me finish?”
“Why? We’ve been playing that stupid game for who knows how long, as well as singing songs and telling stories! Even after all this time I still don’t know your name!” said Yuri as she floated in the vastness of darkness. ‘I knew buying that hat from that toy/candy dispenser was a bad idea. On the other hand getting all those powers was pretty cool.’
“Well I would tell you if you wasn’t such a pain, but you remind me of my friend…” said the Fox girl who was playing with her tail.
“You’re just the grand central station disappointment.”
“Don’t be mean. Besides we’ll get out soon I just know it.”
“If we do get out, the first thing I’m going to do is get revenge for what that bitch of princess did to me. I was one of her top ranking officer, but look at me! Reduced to a fucking lawn ornament.”
“Well that other guy got out just fine right? Maybe we’ll get lucky to, and to be far you kind of asked for it.” said the Fox girl as she swims in the space they shared.
“Hey how was I supposed to know I would get stoned after sparring with her.” said Yuri s she crossed her arms.
“At least you know what happened. I just woke up in here with you.”
‘That was a good question.’ thought Yuri as she watched the Fox girl. She was the first one she saw as soon as she was stoned. At first Yuri thought her mind just came up with something to stop herself from going insane but now. After all this time together she had to ask herself, who was she?
That was when the two stoned girls heard voices. “Oh boy visiters!” said the Fox girl. Yuri sighed as she went to see who was going to gark at there statue forms this time. It was kids…
“Oh joy…” said Yuri as she looks at them all.
“Come on they're cute. By the way want to play the guessing game to see who they are?” asked the Fox girl with a smile.
“No, because I’m sick to death of playing that game.”
That was when they notice three anthro pony children walk up to there statue forms. The looks they were giving was curious but clearly didn’t know who Yuri and the fox girl were. “Miss Cheerliee? what do these two statues mean?” asked the unicorn in the little group.
“Let’s see how Celestia wrote about me in the history books.”
“Oh well this is Nobunaga the intolerance taction. It said she had the skills to match the princess in battle, but she was only dangerous when she had control of an army. Without one she really weak.” said the anthro pony called Cheerliee.
“Fucking lying bitch! I didn’t need an army to take her down. I had an arsenal of long range rifles to take down anyone that stood up against me.”
“This other one on the other hoof, little is known about her, she is called Tamamo Cat by the cat like ears on her head. It said she went on a rampage throughout the land until she fell asleep. And the princess stopped her, no pony knows how.” Explained Cheeliee as she start to lead the class away.
“I don‘t remember doing any of that? all I remember is waking up here.”
“I was still in stone during that time really,” Yuri said as she looked at Tamamo up and down. “But I’m surprise Celestia was able to take down a berserker class servant like yourself.”
“What's a berserker?” asked Tamamo as she looks at Yuri.
“Think of them as power houses. Strong, durable, hard to take down, but they don’t have that much brain power to some degree. They only do as they’re told by their masters. But seeing how we don’t have masters, we’re pretty much free to do whatever we want.”
“Are you calling me stupid?” asked Tamamo as she puffed up her cheeks looking a little mad. Then they both hear the sound of stone cracking.
“The hell was that?” asked Yuri as the sound was getting louder.
“I don’t know? but I’m feeling a little funny-waaha!” Tamamo yelled as she fell from her stone prison.
“What the hell!” said Yuri looking on in shock.
“Ow… I landed on my face!” said Tamamo as she rubs her face clean. “That really hurt, hmm? oh I’m free, yay!”
“Well congratulation on getting free, but you seem to be forgetting something.”
Tamamo blinks at this as she looks at her stoned friend and smiles evilly. “Was that you Yuri? I can’t seem to hear you. Maybe if I hit your status really hard you’ll be set free.” she said smiling as Tamamo pulls her fist back.
“Wait what-?” the next thing Yuri see is the fox girl pawed fist slam into her face and lands on the floor. “Ow! That fucking hurt!” yelled Yuri as she rubs her face. “You could’ve been more careful when you did that.”
“Oh Yuri I’m so happy you're okay. Now let get out of here before anyone see us.” said Tamamo as she picks Yuri up and put her over her own shoulder.
“What do you think you’re doing?! Put me down! I have to kill Celestia for what she did to us!” Yuri screamed as she try to break free.
“Hey calm down! What if the guards hear you? We need to leave not start fights.” said Tamamo trying to calm down Yuri.
“Hey! Is there anypony being evil over there?!” yelled a guard pony.
“Um….No.” The Servants replied.
“Oh okay.” with that the guard simply turned around and walked away.
“Wow… Something tells me Celestia’s royal guards training has had a huge drop since I was stoned.” said Yuri as she stare at the dumb guard.
“Well I guess that make it easier for us to leave!” said Tamamo happily as she start to walk off with her friend.
“Put me down Tamamo. This is the perfect chance to take down Celestia, and make her pay for what she did.”
“Yuri that's not my name I’m okay with you calling me that. But we need to go, not get into fights. I want to find my friend again.” said Tamamo as she keeps walking. “I will put you down only if you don’t attack anyone.”
“......Fine...let’s just leave before I change my mind.” Tamamo smiled at this as she put Yuri down. “I’ll put my take over equestria plan on hold until we figure out a way out of this place. Let’s just hope nopony heard us.”
“Too late we heard everything.” said a guard captain as a platoon of royal guards surrounded the two servants.
“Yeah so suck it. Also the little girl with the hat was yelling so we pretty much knew something was up.”
“........If you say anything Tamamo, I will kick your ass from here to neighpon.” Yuri said as she had a hand on her sword, getting ready to fight. “Listen up you poor excuse of soldiers. You have two options that will let you choose from. Option one, you can fight us and see if you can capture us so you can get a head in whatever rank you are at. But if you do, be prepared to get your ass killed brutally beat up by me and Berserker. Option two you can let us go, and you get to live with your lives in tack. The choice is-.”
“Runaway!” yelled Tamamo as she smashed her way through a wall and ran off into the city. Leaving behind not only Yuri, but stunted guards looking at the gaping hole Tamamo left behind.
“.....Um…..Smoke bomb!” Yuri said as she pretend to throw a smoke bomb as she ran off after Tamamo. “You big boobed bimbo! Wait for me! Don’t leave me with these idiots!”
“Umm, Captain? should we go after them or call for backup?” asked a guard who was sure somepony just wet them self. Or in another term dropped the logs.
“Inform Celestia about this soldier, the rest of us will follow and capture the two criminals.”
“Are you crazy! The taller one went through the wall! How are we going to stop that?!” asked another guard in panic. As the other guard followed out his orders.
“Would you rather go back to toilet duty?”
The guard thought about that and then looks at everypony else. “Yes I would.” He said with a big smile.
“Well too bad, you’re in the royal guard. And as royal guard, your orders are to capture them before they escape from the city. Now go after them or you’ll be in even more trouble if Celestia finds out we failed.”
“Umm sir just one question? Did anypony know that those states were alive?” asked a guard as he looks around. “I didn’t.”
“No, but if you read up in your history, then you would know who they are. Now go!”
“I’m so hungry…” said Tamamo as she laid on the floor of the street while ponies just walked past and around her.
“Well maybe next time you shouldn’t run on an empty stomach.” Yuri said as she kneel down at the fainted berserker. “Let this be a lesson for you.”
“Feed… Me…” Tamamo wines at Yuri as she paws at her foot.
“*Sigh* Fine I’ll feed you.” Yuri said as she reached into her pocket. “Let’s just hope I have some bits in my wallet.” Yuri found she did and then looked around for a food cart. “Hope you don’t mind eating something sweet until we can find a forest.”
“Oh hello there, are you here to buy some sweets?” asked the pony at the stall. “Where’s your mom? Should you be out here all by yourself?” Yuri then points at Tamamo who was somehow snagged a poor mare's tail as she held a basket of fruits away from the Fox girl.
“Oh… I get ya.” He said and handed Yuri a bag of sweets. “That will be 12 bits.”
“Here,” Hand him 12 bits. “pleasure doing business with you good sir.”
Tamamo let the mare tail go once she saw Yuri come back with the bag of sweets. “Yay! Gimme!” Tamamo said as she started to wolf down the sweets.
“You really need to learn some self control when it come to eating Tamamo.”
“That's not my name and I can’t help it! I… Didn’t get to eat anything for a long time.” Tamamo said as she start to slow down.
“Guess I can’t blame you for that one. So what’s your real name if Tamamo isn’t your name?”
Tamamo looked at Yuri and smiles a little before handing her a sweet. “I’m Samantha and you?”
“Yuri Hanamura.” The archer answered as she took a piece of candy from the basket.
“Can I call you Momo.” Samantha asked giggling at the nickname.
“Only my sister or mother calls me that….but I’ll let you call me that seeing how you don’t piss me off as much as most people do.” Yuri said as she was about to eat, only for Samantha to pull her into a hug.
“Thank you little Momo.” Samantha said smiling.
“C-Can’t....B-Breath…”
“Oh! Sorry.” Samantha quickly let her go. “Are you okay?”
“Y-Yeah,” Yuri said as her face turned red for a moment. “j-just warn me when you’re about to do something like that.”
“Okay.” Samantha said smiling. “Ready to go now?” she asked as she held out her cat like paw hand.
“Go where? We’re pretty much wanted criminals in this land of rainbows and sunshine, I have no idea where to go from here, not to mention I….don’t even know if we’re the only ones here in this place.” Yuri said as she lowered her head in defeat.
“We’ll find them, I found a lost family member once and I’m sure you can to.” Samantha said smiling. “We can do this, just don’t lose hope.”
“Let’s just find a way out of Canterlot before Celestia finds us.” said Yuri as the two of them walk down the street.
“I have an idea but one question, do you like riding trains?” asked Samantha as they heard a train horn go off.
“We can’t ride inside it. We might get spotted by one of the royal guards.”
“I said ride a train not inside of it.” said Samantha with a smile. Yuri was worried about just what kind of mad idea Tamamo came up with.
“Sir we looked everywhere and can’t find them.” said a guard as he stand outside the transition.
“Well keep looking for them! Celestia ordered us to capture them!” said another guard as they walked off. Meanwhile Yuri and Samantha sat on the roof of the train car as they left.
“I will admit Tamamo, this was a very clever plan to ride on top of the train then ride inside it.” Yuri said as they both hopped off the roof of the train.
“Me and my friends were good at taking over trains and jumping on them while they were moving.” said Samantha as they land outside into the countryside.
“So….any ideas on where we are now? Because right now all I see are apple trees.”
“Hmm I feel like I’ve been here before only less… plants and more dirt.” said Samantha as she walks into the apple tree forest.
“You really don’t have that much memory about your past huh?”
“Only that I was with my friends and I was trying to find someone who’s a member of my family.” said Samantha as she looks at a apple. “They look so good.”
“Yeah they do.” Yuri said summoning a rifle from out of fine air, and shot an apple off one of the trees. The apple fell as it rolled towards Yuri as she picked it up. “Let’s see how it taste.” As soon as Samantha took a bite out of it her eyes went huge.
“It taste so good~” Samantha said as her eyes start to water and go all sparkly then start eating the rest of the apple.
“Let’s grab as many as we can before we leave.” said Yuri as she get ready to shoot another one down.
“Wait what if these apple trees belong to someone? Shouldn’t we ask them first?” asked Samantha as she licks her paws.
“Oh please, I’m sure they’re willing to let a few apples go missing. I mean look around us, this place has enough apples to feed an entire town let alone a city.”
“Hold it right da ya apple thrives!” Yells a voice from behind them.
“Well shit.” said Yuri as she turns around and saw the apple farmer. The pony looked like what you’d guess a texan farmer would dress as only without the boots and she had a rope in hand. As well as a large red male pony standing next to her.
“Big mac deal with the big one I got the little one.” said the mare as she ran over to Yuri and Samantha.
“Who are you calling little you country bumpkin?!” yelled Yuri as she was about to take aim at the farmer, only to get lassoed by the mare.
“I got one how you doin’ Big Mac?” Yelled the Mare only to see the one called Big Mac was being hugged to death by the fox girl.
“He’s so cuddly!” called out Samantha as she hugs him. “n-Noep.” said the stallion as he blushed.
“Tamamo stop fooling around and help me out here!”
“But Yuri maybe we could stay with them. Then we can have apple pie!” Samantha said smiling as she drops Big Mac.
“If you haven’t notice, but we’re wanted criminals on the run from Sun-butt. Now help me out or else.”
“You two are criminals?! I thought you was just thrives! Now I’m call the guards once I deal with ya friend here.” said the mare as she tie Yuri to a tree.
“Tamamo get me down from here now! I don’t want to be turn to stone again or worse!”
“Don’t worry everything will be fine. I got this.” said Samantha as the mare attacks only for the fox girl to grab her hoof/foot and lift her into the air.
“Hey! put me down ya varmint!” yelled the mare hanging by her foot.
“Now miss apple farmer we’re not here to hurt or steal from your farm. Now if you let us stay on your farm we’ll work for you okay?” Samantha asked as she stop the Mare from using her other leg from kicking.
“Are you freaking kidding me Tamamo?! We need to get the fuck out of dodge before they get the royal guards on our asses!” Yuri yelled as she kicks her legs.
“Yuri shh I’m handling it. So what do you say miss apple farmer.” Samantha asked with a smile.
“As much as I don’t like it, I got the feeling if I said no you could pull me in half. But I can tell you're telling the truth as long as you don’t hurt my family and friends. You can stay but you have to work for it.” said the mare as Samantha put her down.
“What do you mean work for it? We only ate one apple.”
“You stole one Apple that ya didn’t work for or pay for that mean you have to work for it. Not only ta pay me back but to live on the farm to. My name Applejack you already meet Big Mac.” said Applejack as her brother walks up to her side. “Now who are you two?”
“That’s classified-.”
“She’s Yuri, but I like to call her Momo. My name is Samantha but I’m also called Tamamo. It nice to meet you miss Applejack.” said Samantha as she shakes their hands.
“You’re dead to me Tamamo, you know that right?”
“Oh don’t be a baby if you're good I’ll make you cookies how that sound.” Samantha asked with a smile as she get Yuri down.
“......Fine, I’ll be good.” Yuri grumbles as Samantha smiles at her. The two servants after a while make there way to Applejack house and meet the rest of the family. Applebloom gave them a warm welcome and Granny Smith didn’t seem to noticed that Yuri and Samantha were not ponies at all, then again I’m pretty sure she did but might’ve not cared about it really. Hours after settling down a bit, nighttime arrived upon Sweet Apple Acres as the Apple family along with Samantha’s help prepare dinner for the family.
“So where ya from miss Yuri? Is what Cheeliee said about ya true?” Asked Applebloom as she sit at the table.
“To answer your first question, I’m from another world. Same goes for my friend Tamamo...I think. As for your second question, half of that was true. I was a former general for Celestia in the royal guard, but that pretty much died when she turned me to stone.” Yuri answered.
“Dat don’t sound right, if you were in the guard dan why would she turn ya to stone?” Asked Applebloom as she rubs her head. “Did ya do something bad?”
“Little bit of advice kid, never show someone your noble phantasm. Especially to a princess who doesn’t want someone else as powerful as her.”
“Maybe she was just scared?” said Applebloom as she thinks about Yuri words. “I mean there aren’t that many ponies as strong as them. Maybe ya scared them when you show them how strong ya magic was.”
“Still you think she would’ve talked to me about it before she would stone a person on sight.” Yuri said as she summoned her rifle and began to shoot outside the window at a Timberwolf entering the farm. “A least I still have skills as an archer even though I’m low on prana.”
“What Prana? And Granny doesn't like it when somepony fire the rifle off in the house.” said Applebloom.
“Nice shooting youngin!” yelled Granny Smith from another room.
“Prana is like magic for unicorns only different. For a servant like me we would have our master give us access to their magic for us to maintain or powers. But seeing how this place is land is like a fountain of magic, we pretty much use our surroundings to help us recover our lost magic and maintain a physical form so to speak.”
“Dinner ready!” Calls out Samantha as she walks in with plates upon plates of apple based foods in one hand. While meat, vegetables, and drinks in the other hand. “Had to make the Apple family dinner before I did ours Momo.”
“How…” Yuri asked at loss for words at how Tamamo could make so much food.
“The Apple’s were easy to make seeing how they’re ponies and they pretty much eat fruits and plants. For us, I had to go into the forest a cross from the farm and hunt down from common animals that we normally eat back home...well meat that tasted good.”
“Just… just lay the food on the table please.” asked Yuri as she sigh. “I’m starting not to care how you were able to make this food look like something from a fancy five star restaurant.” Samantha did so with a smile as they all sat down and enjoyed there meals.
“Dig in, and try not to get blown away from what you’re about to taste.” Samantha said with a smile as everyone start to eat. Once everyone finished eating and cleaning up the dishes, Applejack showed Yuri and Samantha the guest room for them to stay in.
“Make yourselves at home and give a holla if ya need anything okay?” said Applejack as she smiles at them and walked off.
“Well do.” Yuri said as she closed the door behind Applejack as she left. “Okay, the moment the sun rises, we need to leave.”
“Oh come on Yuri they’re nice, I’m sure we can stay for a week or two.” said Samantha as she get the beds ready.
“That’s the reason why we have to leave. If the royal guards find out that they’re keeping us here, then lord knows they’ll pretty much arrest them for the crime of harboring fugitives.”
“But Yuri we can’t just leave and not say goodbye.”
“Ugh, you’re really putting me in a bind here. Okay fine, we’ll say goodbye to them in the morning if it’ll make you feel better?” Samantha smiles as she hugs Yuri.
“Thank you Momo.”
“A-Air...need air…” Samantha loosens her hug but does not let go. “Seriously you need to have a warning sign or something when you do that.”
“Heh sorry anyway let’s go to bed. Good night Yuri.” said Samantha as she get into bed.
“Yeah….good night.” said Yuri as she laid in her own bed.
