the adventures of one punch man
a weird snake dude
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSome weird snake thing
It was a normal day in ponyville, the school foals went on a field trip and the adults used it as a holiday. But soon after the foals left all chaos ensued. Space time crumpled in some places, the rain was chocolate and I was pissed. Not only did my apartment get destroyed but it happened while I was reading manga.
I ran through the town hunting whatever did this, stopping only to save a pony in mortal danger. After a while I began to notice a pattern, everything seemed like harmless pranks turned up to a whole new level. I made my way towards the center of town only to find a large throne where town hall should be. Above it floated six bubbles, twilight, fluttershy, pinkie pie, rarity, applejack, and rainbow dash were all trapped inside of them.
When I approached the throne a strange snake like creature popped into existence.
“Why hello there, I knew that I felt something strong nearby I guess it was you.” He said throwing an empty glass behind him.
“Are you the one causing all of this?” I calmly asked him.
“Well yes I am thank you for not-“ he stopped as I punched a hole into him. He disappeared and reappeared behind me.
“A silly little punch like that won’t hurt me.” He mocked.
“Then how about this, consecutive normal punches!” I said as I evaporated him with my fists.
“Nope, not good enough” he said.
I jumped towards twilights bubble and asked “hey egghead, how do I defeat him?”
“You need to use the elem-“ she was cut off as sound ceased to escape from the bubble.
“Now I can’t have you spoiling all of my secrets now can i?” the creature said.
The creature grabbed a random pony and said “for every minutes you take to stop me im going to kill one of these ponies.” He said as the sky turned dark.
“I will start with the yellow one!” he said as the bubble compressed fluttershy into nothingness.
The shock on the ponies faces told it all, they didn’t expect anyone to go this far. To kill an innocent by stander is unthinkable. But where her bubble once was a yellow glow soon appeared. This glow did nothing so I decided to ignore it for now.
“The clock is ticking baldy.” He said.
I leaped at him decking him right in the jaw, destroying his head but he regenerated it just as quick.
“It’s my turn now” he stated and attempted to drop a house on me, I dodged going in for antoher punch but to no avail he kept regenerating.
“Time for the next one” he said as rarities bubble became nothing. A white glow soon filling the area she had once been.
Twilight seemed to be casting a spell but it wasn’t doing anything yet. So you decided it was time to end this fight before anyone else died.
“Super serious move set, time shattering fist!” you yell out and punch discord, not only in the present but in the past and the future. He didn’t suffer a vital hit but he couldn’t recover his lost arm.
“that hurt” he said as he crushed the last four bubbles all at once, though one bubble seemed to be putting up a fight.
It was twilights I looked towards is and it seemed she mouthed “by me time.” So I did as was told and distracted discord, he didn’t seem to want to really fight so I was going to make him.
“so, your pretty strong it looks like im gonna have to go all out.” He said grinning at me. “your not the only one who names your moves, multidimensional barrage!” he said as I started getting hit from all sides at the same time, not taking any real damage but damaging my suit.
“That’s my suit you’re, ruining” I said as I walked outside of the barrage. “Can you please go all out now, if not ill finish you here and now”
“Fine you want to see all out, I’ll show you!” He said as the sky blacked and the world stilled. Black beams of energy came at me from all sides. I dodged them with ease as large chunks of stone flew my way. After punching the first two I dodged the other two looking for twilight.
She seemed to be nearly done with her spell and the strange lights were spinning around her. Though whatever it was didn’t seem ready as she was still struggling.
“You’re not leaving just yet!” I heard a voice from behind but when I turned around I was punched in the back, the force sending me into a nearby building. Before I could stand up I was thrown some distance and then kicked into the ground.
“Do you see now baldy, you can’t possibly hope to beat me!” he sneered at me.
“Did you just insult my lack off hair?” I asked my fist clenching.
“Why, are you gonna get mad?” he taunted.
“Saitama!” I heard a yell from behind me. “Take it!” a ball of multicolored energy flew my way. I could feel it, these were the souls of those poor ponies. But not just that, it was the embodiment of their most sacred virtues. This power was what celestia tried to awaken but failed because of me. I took that power into my fist. Sure I could defeat this guy with a normal punch but it would require amounts of power I wasn’t comfortable using in town.
“is that a last ditch effort you have there?” the creature said as it threw a massive ball of energy at me. As it washed over I heard voices in my head.
“Do it saitama!”
“Teach that brute a lesson!”
“Kick his flank!”
“Take him down, for the sake of parties!”
“If you can’t defeat him here how will you protect equestria?!”
Another voice came from behind me. “Do it saitama take him down!” twilight yelled from her bubble as it collapsed, her purple energy meeting up with my fist.
I could feel it, a power that could rival my own only to be used once this punch would be seen by to cosmos for as long as the universe existed.
“ONE TIME TECHNIQE, HARMONY PUNCH!” I said as I punched the bored looking monster before he had time to react. The force of the punch created a beam of pure gay pride incinerating the monster and a small chunk of the already damaged moon. The power I had absorbed began to dissipate, it was hard to explain but the energy had a content feeling to it.
After a few moments the town went back to normal, my apartment was back, the town hall reappeared and all of the ponies that died came back, except for six. Those six ponies realized their destiny and gave everything they had to stop a foe, I respected that. They were true heroes even if twilight was jerk.
After a while celestia came to ponyville to congratulate me on my victory, I told her that the only reason I won the way I did was because of twilights sacrifice.She didn’t believe that twilight was gone at first, but relied that the burst of rainbow energy was the elements of harmony’s last resort; harmony explosion. She told me that twilight must have figured out she and those other ponies were the element bearers and that she held out to the very last second to give me their power.
“Well it’s a good thing they did, if I would have had to use a real move I might have destroyed the town.” I told celestia.
“Yes, we will hold a celebration tomorrow, honoring there sacrifice for equestria.” She said her eyes still red from her tears.
“well if that’s all im gonna go home now.” I said, but before I could walk away she said.
“there is one more thing, but you don’t have to do it you don’t want.” She said
“what do you need?” I asked her while shaking dirt out of my special place.
“spike, twilights dragon needs a home would it be fine if he stays with you?” she asked me
“of course ill pay for any expenses he needs, as well as housing if you wish to upgrade.” She told me.
“Well that’s fine with me, but don’t you think he would want to stay in the library?” I asked her.
“Of course he will, are you ok with moving into the library?” she asked.
I thought for a moment. “I’ll move in if I can have some construction done to it.” I said.
“What would you like to do?” she asked wondering where I was going with this.
“I just want an apartment like mine built into the side of it, I really like the way it feels.” I told her.
“that’s fine, ill have a group of builders start working on it soon, but for now spike will stay with you is that ok?” she asked.
“Sure where is he?”
“In the library, he didn’t take the news so well.” she said looking towards the library.
“I bet, well I’ll go talk to him and see if I can get him to come home with me.” I said and walked away.
I walked into the library only to hear muffled sobs. I walked towards to noise and found spike in a basket, curled up and sobbing.
“Hey spike, how you holding up?” I asked him.
“Not to good” he said.
“Well is there anything I can do to help?” I asked as I sat down and crossed my legs.
“No” he said.
“Well I just came to tell you that while construction is being done on the library you have to live with me for a little bit.”
“What are they gonna do to twilights library?” he asked me peaking up from the covers.
“They are adding an apartment to the side of it.”
“Why would they do that?” he asked me.
“Well since you can’t live alone yet celestia wants me to live here, so I made a request to have a separate space to accommodate me.”
“Oh, that’s fine I guess.” He said and went back mopping. “I’ll come by your apartment later, I want to be alone for a while.”
“Well I’ll see you later.” I told him.
Later
After a while spike showed up at the apartment with his overnight stuff, I was going to set up a sleeping mat for spike but he insisted that he sleep in the basket he brought with him. So I didn’t push it. I made some dinner and after we ate he asked me a question
“Hey saitama, don’t you get sad when ponies die?” he asked me.
I looked at him and said “I’ve seen a lot of people die, and after you become someone like me you tend to ignore emotions other than thrill and fear.” I told him.
“Oh, do you think I could be strong like you someday?” he asked as he prepared to go to sleep.
“Probably, that all depends on you though.” I told him as I turned the lights off.
A substantial amount of time later.
The workers finished adding on the apartment and I was ready to move in, I gave to landlord this month’s rent and used a cart to bring my stuff to the library. On my way there I get a few friendly waves and more than enough glares, it’s seemed some ponies thought that I let twilight die. But that was very far from the truth, twilight knew what she was doing the whole time. She knew that once fluttershy had been killed that it was over for them.
So she did what she could and saved a lot of lives in the process. I passed the monument built for them in town, it was pretty cool. It depicted me punching discord with the harmony fist and the elements fiving their lives. It was pretty expensive and I don’t think the town could pay for it so it was probably celestias doing.
I arrived at the library and put my stuff in the apartment, there were two ways to get in. an outside door and a door connecting the library. So I while I was putting away my stuff I found a letter on my counter. It opened it and it read.
“Thank you for protecting equestria, even though some ponies died I know you’re doing your best.” I looked at the letter and felt a sense of accomplishment. I continued reading. “Even though my sister was extremely rude to you I know she helped you beat discord in the end.”
The letter didn’t have a name or a return address but I’m pretty sure I know who it was from.
I walked back into the library to find spike cleaning up the library.“So do you want to do anything today spike?” I asked him.
“Nah, since twilights gone I need to run the library.” He said.
“Well ok, if want to do anything later tell me, I’m gonna go on patrol.” I said as I walked out.
“Oh, and today is cider season so you should probably try and get some.” Spike called out as I left.
I didn’t drink much but it might be fun. It wasn’t hard to find the line considering how far back it was. I of course was in the back of the line being the last person to hear about it.
Not soon after a large group of ponies cam walking back and the line dissipated. Most of them looked either happy or depressed so I guess they ran out.
“Hey did you hear, those stallions are going to take their farm.” I heard a pony say
“Yeah it’s a shame too, since applejack isn’t there to help anymore they can pay their taxes.” Someone replied.
“Excuse me, how exactly does that mean some stallions can take the farm, are they with the bank?” I asked the mare.
“No, in equestria if you can’t afford to run a business another company can outright take your papers from you.” The mare said and kept walking.
That didn’t seem right so you made your way towards the farm to talk to the ponies still there.
Once you arrived you saw a poor family and two stallions driving a large machine around. You walked up to the stallions and said. “So are you the two ponies trying to take their land?”
“Silly creature, we aren’t trying to take it by law it’s ours now.” They states as a matter of fact.
“When do they have to leave?” I asked them.
“By the end of the week, if they are still here they will be removed with force”
I walked over to the apple family and said “don’t worry I’ll get your farm back” And walked away.
Back at the library.
“Yo spike, I need a favor.” I called out when I got into the library.
“What do you need?” he asked me from somewhere in the library.
“applejacks family is about to lost their farm, could you send a letter to celestia asking her if there is anything we could do?” I asked him grabbing a snack from the fridge.
“Sure I’ll send her a letter but I don’t know what she will be able to do.” I told him. “I’ll cook dinner tonight, I’ve got something special for the both of us.” I told him and went to my apartment.
After a few minutes spike came in with a letter from the princess. “Here, this is for you.” He said and walked out.
“Dear saitama, although I can’t help you get the farm back through legal means you can take it back by force if you want. In that case I can defend you in court and you’ll probably be fine.” The letter read.
“Well in that case I’ll just go punch their car thing.” I said to myself and started to work on dinner.
Dinner time
After about an hour of cooking it was done, a well prepared steak dinner. All the ingredients except the steak were bought from the market but I had to get the steak from a shady griffon in an alley. It’s fine though I haven’t had meat in a long time so this would be refreshing.
“Yo spike dinner is ready!” I yelled from my apartment.
“Coming” he said. He walked in and the smell hit him “saitama what’s that smell, its great?”
“A treat, and not one we can have often considering where we live.” I told him.
“Is that meat?” he asked pointing at his plate.
“Yeah, I bought it from some griffon for a pretty good price. It’s been a long time since I’ve had any meat and since I had the money I decided to splurge a little bit.” I told him.
“I’ve never had meat saitama, twilight always said it was bad for ponies.” He said
“Well yeah it is, but you’re not a pony spike you’re a dragon.” I showed him my carnivores “these teeth right here are for meat, you have them too don’t you?” I asked.
He showed me his canines and said “well I guess it won’t hurt to try it will it?”
“Nope now dig in, it’s gonna get cold.” I said as I cut my steak into bit sized pieces for chopsticks.
He started eating his steak and really seemed to enjoy it. But I had to tell him to eat the other things on his plate before he was done with steak.All in all it was a good meal, decent steak and good vegetables.
The next day
I woke up and got ready to go take applejacks farm back, sure I couldn’t get it back through legal means but if the horse god was gonna back me up, fuck it I am gonna punch the shit out of that steam punk garbage.
On my way towards the farm many ponies seemed to be packing up their livelihoods, almost like that farm was the only reason keeping the town afloat. So after a walk I arrived at the farm only to find those two stallions planning out how they were going to change the farm.
“Hey, you two can stop now.” I called over to them. “I talked to celestia and she told me she would back me up if I did anything you could sue me for.” I told them.
“Ha, how are we supposed to believe that you even know celestia?”
“Whatever” I said as I walked over towards their steampunk booze machine and punched it a large shockwave washed over the farm and the delicate machine was reduced to scrap.
“w-what did you do!” one of them yelled at me.
“Give me the papers” I told them.
“Fine take them, but we will be back!” they said as they ran off.
I took the papers from them and handed them to the apple family and went back home.
