Ashes to Ashes
I get by, barely get by
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt's been two hours since I had talked with Scootaloo’s father and taken her home. During the two hours, we've spent it by getting to know one another.
I had asked if she could keep a secret to which she started to do the Pinkie promise. I then started to tell her that I wasn't from Equestria and that I'm actually Princess Celestia and Former King Sombra’s son.
To say that she was amazed was putting it mildly. She then started to mutter to herself that she was saved by Royalty and all that.
I told her that I didn't want to be referred to as Prince. She had also wanted to ask on what I was going to do with her.
I answered her that I would take care of her and she was crying tears of joy when I told her. After that, I had realized that I was away from the other world for too long and that I had to go back.
But checking the watch I had gotten from the other world, I saw that there was still four hours until their performance.
Now I was spending time with my new friends, Blaze and Flame, twin brothers by blood and in arms.
“And that's why your armor is complete shit and I really recommended either iron or Steel armor along with more durable weapons, cause I've took a look at them and it makes a stick look like a better weapon. Hell, I've seen a nitwit beat the shit out of fully armed military soldier and win.” I finished explaining to them the reason why they should think about changing their armor materials and getting better weapons.
“With a stick?” Flame said, flabbergasted at what I said.
“Fully armed soldier?” His twin, Blaze asked. Turns out Blaze is older by only a minute than Flame.
“Yes, but he was arrested for assaulting military personal but the stallion had the balls to do it. All I'm waiting for now is when the citizens realize how shit your armor is and start to do all sorts of crazy shit.” I said as I leaned back on my chair. We had gotten a couple of lawn chairs from the castle and brought them out along with a few cold beers. I never drank before but it wouldn't hurt to try, right?
It didn't matter because I couldn't get a buzz out of it while the other two were complaining about it being too strong. Meh, it's a cold drink and I'm not letting go to waste.
“Even if we did, how can we be sure others would agree to the change in armor?” Blaze asked me.
“Pfft, fuck if I know.” I said with a laugh, earning a groan from the both of them. I took another sip from the bottle in my hand.
“What about bows?” Flame asked me.
“One word: Crossbow.” I said to them.
“I've always wondered about that, though it's incredibly slower, right. So why bother with that?” Blaze asked me.
“It's stronger and more accurate.” I said as I turned over the bottle, only to see a small drop of cider fall.
“Hey, how's Firefly and Breeze doing anyway?” I asked them. The four of them are in the same squad, so asking them is fine.
“Firefly is on her day off. Breeze should be here in a couple of hours, why do ask? Got your eyes on one of them?” Blaze asked, wiggling his eyebrows at me. I threw the empty bottle at him, causing it to shatter on his right arm.
“Ask me that again, I fucking dare you.” I threatened him. He looked at me with a bit of fear with a mixture of shock.
“Sorry, I'm still a little angry after what happened.” I apologized to him.
“It's fine, it happens to everypony.” Blaze said as he stood up from his chair and enveloped it in his magic. Right, Blaze is a unicorn and Flame is an earth pony. How did I forget, beats me but I'm sure you wouldn't care.
‘I should go check on Scootaloo.’ I thought as I stood up while Blaze teleported his chair away.
“I'll catch you guys later.” I said to the two siblings. They waved at me before I entered the castle and went to look for Scootaloo.
Checking my room first, I found her looking at my katana sword, the clean one not the other one.
Stealthily walking up to her, I surprised her by picking her up. Though, doing so made me fall onto the bed with Scootaloo landing on top of me.
“Ow.” I wheezed out from the impact.
“Don't do that!” Scootaloo yelled at me with a cute angry look. I booped her snout.
“Oh a hush, you silly filly.” I said as I sat up. Scoots sat beside me as I did.
“How are you handling all this so far? I'm sorry if I keep asking, I'm just worried.” I said to her.
“It'll take a while for me to get used to this…” She said, gesturing the entire room. “But other than that, I feel..happy, I feel genuinely happy.” She said afterwards. I smiled at this and stood up.
“So I'm guessing you want a tour of the castle.” I said, earning a nod from her. I picked her up and placed between my shoulders, then walked out.
The tour took four hours to finish and I'll admit, I did get lost once, twice maybe six times.
Anyway, when I realized what time it was, I had hurriedly made my way back to my room and change. I decided to go as Deadpool again, reason being that it could be the last time I wear could wear the costume.
During my suit up, I forgot that Scootaloo was with me and noticed her when I donned the mask. I looked at the mirror and complimented myself.
“Cool~” I heard Scootaloo’s voice behind me. Cursing myself for forgetting about her, I turned to look at her.
“Listen Scoots, I'm going to the Other world and will be back in a few hours maybe. You could tag along, if you want to that is.” I said to her as I began to walk out the room.
“Do I need to change my clothes?” I heard her ask. I looked back at her and saw her current attire. A black shirt with The letter R on the right, a bolt of lightning in the middle and a D on the left. She wore a pair of jeans.
I shook my head and she followed me to the library.
Twilight Sparkle
Other World
Everything was going so smoothly for us. I've finally made a counter spell in the form of a song. Everyone knew their roles and no fighting broke out between us.
But then The Sirens trapped us in a pit via trap door, cliche but it worked and we've been stuck for at least an hour. Slowly we've been losing hope of beating the sirens.
“Tsk. I leave for a few hours and you gone and gotten yourself trapped.” I heard a familiar voice above. I looked up to see a costumed man. I blinked a few times to focus and saw that it was Shade in the same costume from when he caught the robbers.
“Hold on a second.” He said before disappearing. Seconds after a rope fell dropped down and hung close to the wall. The girls didn't want to question this and quickly climbed up, leaving me last.
I tried climbing but only made it halfway and started to slow down. I then saw a gloved hand in front of me.
I looked up to see Shade without his mask, allowing me to see his handsome face.
I shook away the thought and took hold of his hand, he then pulled me up. I stood up after being pulled and let out a sigh.
I then lost my balance from all the waiting and almost fell in. Shade caught me and placing a hand behind my back. We stood in a position that made us look like we were dancing.
We stayed like this, staring into each others eyes before Rainbow brought us back to reality.
“Listen you two can go at later, we have a battle to win.” Rainbow said, causing Shade to blink and pull me back.
I noticed a small blush across his cheeks before he put on the mask again and jumped. I looked at the direction he went in and saw his silhouette.
Shade Shadow Bringer
After leaving Twilight with a blush donning my face, I had made my way towards the stadium nearby and had arrived atop a small building labeled Doughnut Joe’s.
I saw Scootaloo sitting at the edge of the building with her legs hanging off the edge. I walked up beside and sat next to her. I then took off the mask and placed it beside me.
“Why couldn't we get in?” I heard Scoots ask.
“It'll be better from up here and as an added plus, I wouldn't be able to hear the Dazzlings horrible singing.” I said to her. She understood what I meant, knowing that I like few types of music but hate Pop music.
We heard music start playing and I tuned it out, only wanting to watch and I could see that Scootaloo didn't like the type of music.
Halfway throughout their singing, I could see the Humane Five and Twilight look down at them. They seemed to be talking to each other, about what is something I couldn't tell but then I could see Vinyl pull over in her car and as she did, she pressed a button and the car changed into a set of speakers.
As they started playing their song, I couldn't take my eyes of Twilight. I feel like I have butterflies in my stomach but what does it mean.
Shaking my head, I kept watching. Soon the sirens released a Magical projection of their true forms and fought off the Rainbooms music.
Seeing the Rainbooms struggle to continue in playing, so I decided to give them a helping hand.
Summoning a large battery powered speaker and a guitar. Plugging it in, I played a little tune I knew.
Doing so caused a large magical projection of a Spartan soldier from Halo to appear with a pistol. It aimed the gun at the sirens and fired thtee times, not missing a single one. After that, it vanished.
I looked back at the Rainbooms to see Twilight looking at my direction. I waved at her before she and Sunset began.
“How did you know that was going to work?” Scootaloo asked.
“Easy, I didn't.” I answered her as leaned on me. I looked down at her and saw that she looked really tired.
“Go ahead and sleep, I'll carry you back.” I said to her. She nodded and closed her eyes.
I looked back to the concert just in time to see a large Pure white alicorn fire a beam at the sirens.
I smiled at this as I wrapped an arm around Scootaloo as she slept.
After the concert was over and every one was back to their normal, I had grabbed Scootaloo and made my way towards the girls.
Once their, I saw Twilight talking to Sunset while the others were celebrating their win. Twilight noticed me and I looked away, still feeling awkward with what happened earlier.
“I came here to pick up Nyx and bring her back home.” I said, not meeting Twilight's gaze.
“Mom, that was amazing!” Speak of the Devil. Iooked behind me and saw Nyx running towards her mother.
“Thank you, sweetie.” I heard Twilight say as she hugged the filly.
“Nyx, you need to go home with Shade, it's past your curfew by a few hours and you've got..” She stopped as Nyx warped next to me. I shrugged my shoulders before saying goodbye and headed back to the portal home.
‘I‘m tired, they're tired. I got an excuse to go back and go to bed.’ I thought as I headed back to Canterlot High.
