Previous Chapter

I don't know how long I was out. The only thing I did  know when I finally came to was that I was in a bed and that I was currently strapped down to said bed. Thankfully though my armor was still on and after checking my hud my weapons were still on me. Guess they didn't want to take chances in messing with my gear so they left it with me.

The next few minutes passed with me testing my restraints as well as taking in my new surrounding's. Said area had plain white walls and a large window to my right. A curtain was on my left but was open showing the empty bed next to mine. The straps themselves were pretty weak in my opinion and with a simple flex I could easily snap them and be on my way.

Just as I was about to snap the restraints and leave I heard voices approaching and laid back pretending to still be unconscious. Thankfully my helmet completely covered my face so I could still see what was happening without them knowing.

"I'm telling you Princess this thing is not a pony! The body is similar yes but most definitely not a pony. If I had to describe it in one word I would have to call it, alien." Said a male voice just outside the door. I nearly laughed at them calling me and alien. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

"Thank you doctor. My sister and I will see to the creature now and determine if it is a threat so you may be off." Responded a female voice.

Just then the door opened and I saw eight different mare's walk into my room. Six of them were the Element's that I had already had the pleasure of meeting but the new additions are what caught my attention. They were none other than the co-rulers of the country Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.

Luna was taller then the Elements and stood at about five foot eleven and had a perfect hourglass shape similar to her sister's only with a slightly smaller chest. Her fur was a midnight blue while her mane and tail looked like the night sky and flowed on its own. Her eyes were a bright turquoise that was accentuated by her strapless black dress with her cutie mark on her hips.

Celestia was about as tall as myself at six foot with the same figure as her sister save for her generous chest that was just even with the element of Kindness. Her fur was a pristine white and her bright rainbow mane and tail flowed just the same as Luna's. Her eyes were a bright ruby red and she wore a similar dress to her sister only in white with gold accent's with her Cutie mark in the same place.

I could do nothing but stare as they crowded around my bed as I f I was something ready for dissection. Pinkie was the first one to move as she started tapping on my visor until she was pulled away by Twilight.

"Pinkie stop that! You'll wake it up and we don't know what it could possibly be capable of! It killed a rogue manticore for Faust's sake!" Berated Twilight while Pinkie just kept up her insanely happy smile.

"Then how are we supposed to learn about it if we don't ask it questions silly?" She asked innocently.

"Oh please Pinkie I doubt this thing can even talk anyway." Huffed Dash as she hovered nearby with her arms crossed. That comment made it sound like I was some dumb animal and though I could prove them wrong I decided to stay quiet for the moment and try to see what else I could gather.

"Sister I have never seen a creature like this. Does thou think it may be as the doctor said?" Asked Luna while running her hand over my chest piece.

"I'm not sure sister. It certainly is unlike anything we have ever seen but to call it an alien is a bit farfetched in my opinion." Responded Celestia as she gazed into my visor intently.

At this point I was just hoping they could leave so that I could get the hell out of here but that plan was shot to hell when Pinkie hopped up and plopped herself onto my stomach making me jerk up in surprise and breaking my restraints. I was about to yell at the mare for jumping on me before I realized what I had just done and slowly turned to see the other occupants in the room looking at me in shock and a little bit of fear while the pink mare just sat in my lap with her maniacal smile still on her face.

"See Dash I told you I could wake him up!" Said Pinkie triumphantly.

"Pinkie git the hay away from that thing efore' it git's ya!" Shouted Aj in worry.

Knowing that if I didn't ease the situation this situation would go from bad to worse I began to speak which surprised all of the mares.

"Hey I'm not going to hurt anyone so just calm down." I say in a placating manner.

"YOU CAN TALK!?" Screamed Dash while pointing at me.

"Yes. Yes I can despite what you said earlier mrs Dash." I deadpanned making the mare blush in embarrassment.

I heard the scratching of paper and turned my attention to see Twilight frantically writing on a piece of paper with a quill muttering to herself. Until she looked up to see my gaze on her and quickly put the parchment behind her back while looking everywhere but at me. After that I look to my lap to see Pinkie still there and sigh to myself. These ponies are so fucking weird it's not even funny.

"Miss can you please get off of me so I can get up?"

"Okie dokie lokie!" She responded before hopping off of me and allowing me to stand and stretch my stiff joints.

As I did this I notice all of the fearful glances I was being given due to my height. Wanting to make them feel more at ease I sit back on the bed and reach up to take my helmet off.  A hiss of air indicated it was depressurized and I slowly pulled it off. Once the helmet was fully off all of the mares jaw's dropped in surprise and if I didn't know any better I think I was even seeing them blush.

Putting my helmet in my lap I give them all a friendly smile before speaking.

"Hi my name is Nicolas Dallen but you can just call me Hellhound. It's nice to finally meet the very creatures I have been watching over for so long." I say making some of them smile but others stare at me in confusion.

"What does thou mean by 'watching over for so long'?" Asked/demanded Luna.

Sighing once more I knew this was going to be a long explanation. Yet if I didn't give it then I probably wouldn't be allowed to go free which would lead to me breaking out and being hunted down for the rest of eternity. Yeah not fun. So for the next few hours I explained to them about my kind and basically how the world they knew came to be. Of course I had to stop at points to answer a few questions and by the time I was finished at was almost time for Luna to raise the moon.

At the moment however Fluttershy was clinging to me crying and trying to 'sooth the pain' at the loss of my kind. I for the most part was using all of my willpower to keep from blushing from the feeling of her large chest basically engulfing my head. It was a battle I was thankful to say I won and no one was the wiser.

The others for the most part were sorry for me and offered their condolences but the worst had to be Twilight as she looked to be on the verge of losing her shit.

"So all that we know came from a bucking ACCIDENT!" She screamed to which I could only shrug my shoulders and nod. I wasn't going to lie to her as basically that is what happened.

She nearly went ballistic after that but thankfully the other managed to calm her down. From there Luna raised the moon and now we were talking about what we were going to do from here on out. From what they have told me so far basically the whole town saw the Element's drag me to the hospital so keeping me a secret was out of the bag. The only thing they could do now was damage control. Plus Celestia and I had a bit of a disagreement on my tech.

"For the last time Celestia my answer is NO!" I say with a tone of finality yet Celestia still insists.

"But your kinds technology could bring Equestria into a new age!" She tried to reason.

"That 'new age' would only lead to trouble! The technology of my time lead to the near extinction of my race and I will be dammed if I let history repeat itself Celestia! So for the last time my answer is NO! The most I would be willing to give you is the history of my race bar the information on how things were made." I respond. Celestia looked about ready to protest but Luna put her hand on her sisters shoulder and leaned in to whisper something to her. Celestia gave her a surprised look but nonetheless nodded in agreement to something.

"Sir Hellhound we understand thou's position on such matters so we suggest a compromise." Said Luna gently as if testing if I would lash out like I did her sister.

"Go on."

"What if you were to 'tutor' our guards. From what you have described your kind were great warriors and we would benefit from learning of your ways of combat." Said Luna.

I take a minute to think about her offer. Now I wasn't a big supporter of warfare in general but it was obvious that ponies as a whole were severely inadequate in the way's of warfare. If it ever came down to a fight the ponies of Equestria would lose hand's down. Even the Diamond Dog's were better equipped to fight than they were! Against my better judgment I felt it better that I accept and help them prepare for such an event should it ever come.

"I will 'tutor' your guards Princess but only the new recruits. The ones you currently have are too set in their ways to be taught what I have to teach. Also you will have no say in my methods and when I ask for something I want it given to me without question. If I am to turn your guards into proper soldiers then it must be on my terms understood?" I answer with no room for argument.

Luna and Celestia looked conflicted for a moment before finally relenting with a sigh and agreeing to my terms. After that the Element's left for their individual homes while wishing the Princesses and I goodnight. The royals and I though went on for the next few hours discussing when I would leave for Canterlot to start training the new recruits as well as what I would need.

It took some convincing but eventually I had gotten them to agree to let me take the poor bastards into the Everfree at the last two weeks of training to get them some 'real world' experience. They were both quite disturbed by what I had planned for the recruits. But then I pitched in an idea that made them think I was almost insane.

"What do you mean 'Special Forces!'" Demanded Celestia.

"Exactly what I said sunny. I will take the best of the recruits and give them even more advanced training so the could become the first of Equestria's Special Forces division. Trust me you will thank me for it later whenever you go to war."

"How does thou know we will go to war! We have not been in such conflict for centuries!" Exclaimed Luna.

"That doesn't mean it won't eventually happen Princess. Most of the other races of the world have an effective military, why you may ask? Because war is always a possibility in the world and its best to be overtly ready than to be unprepared. So will you allow me to train a Special Forces division?" I say neutrally. Damn this negotiating shit is rough! How do politician's manage to do this shit nearly everyday and not go crazy is beyond me.

Thankfully they agreed to my proposal and the rest of the negotiations went along smoothly. By the time they left it was well midnight and the conversation started at nine in the morning! Needless to say I was exhausted  and promptly conked out but not before replacing my helmet on my head. I was still a bit paranoid at someone trying to take some of my shit but hopefully I wouldn't have to worry about that for long.

Who knows, I may actually enjoy putting those grunts through my training from hell. Ah it was good to be involved with the world once more even if it was basically training an army from scratch.
