The Tale of the Dragon Slayer

Sunset Shimmer was sat on a steel table in a white washed room as she stared down at her arms. They were bionic and made out of carbon fiber,her hands and the rest of her body the exact same. She lifted her head for a moment to look into the full body mirror. Her face has still scarred,but you could still make out her face well,from the day she got 'murdered' by the one she called her friend. While scarred she had really grown into her face,her jawline so sharp it could cut someone who tried to touch it and her eyes still shone bright and were full of colour. Her hair was still somewhat vibrat but had lost alot of its boldness as she didn't really care for it as much. She had also grown,though the armour might of helped,to stand proud at 6'2. While her upper body was still techinally intact,unlike her legs which were apputated as they no longer worked,the people who saved her decided it would be best to give her armour on her upper body as well as it made life easier for both her and them.

Her head turned to look at her helmet. Yes she wore a helmet not because she had to but because she wanted to. Fitted with the outfit she would say. After 10 years she had learnt how to become one with herself and the dragons that had run in her families heritage for generations. None of her friends knew of course but back in Equestria she had a rare bloodline that ran with the power of the east and west dragons. This bloodline was of course a danger to many people if not under control so her family was banished to the outskirts. Thats why she became Celestia's student,to keep her powers under control. Well part of the reason. The other part was to obviously learn magic. Now that there was no family of her own left she controlled both dragons. She snapped out of her thoughts when the door of the room flung open to show a woman with black hair walk in with two objects in her hand. Sunset glanced at them before up at the woman.

"What are those?"

"Your blades. You remember how to use them?" The woman called Octavia spoke,pushing the blades forward towards Sunset,who had responded with a nod. Sunset took the bigger blade first,scanning it before spinning it around and slipping it into the holister on her back. Sunset was quick to take the second smaller blade,putting it in another holister that laid on the bottom of her back at an angle. She stood up and let her once tense shoulder slump.

"You don't have to go back you know," Octavia said with a hint of sadness and worry lacing her tone as she watch Sunset pack everything. Sunset stood with her back to Octavia as she picked up her helmet last,spinning on her heel to face the shorter woman while she put it on. Everything clicked into place and the light,clearly the visor that she saw through,lit up a blue colour. She hung her head before letting out a sigh.

"I know. But I want to. This is the only way to fix..anything," Sunset responded with a small but dry chuckle. She walked up to Octavia and pulled her into a hug which the black haired woman happily returned.

"Then everything is set up. You'll stay in a Manehatten apartment made specially for people in our group and all expenses will be paid for...please be safe,"

"I will Tavi. I promise," Sunset said while squeezing Octavia one last time before letting go. Octavia gave her a quick,small smile before handing her a small people paper with some writing on.

"Here is Twilight's new address. Expect her to be a little alarmed,"

"And by alarmed do you mean freaking out type alarmed or 'Oh look my dead girlfriend isn't actually dead hooray' type alarmed?"

"Yes," Octavia said bluntly. Sunset just gave her a really bored look while Octavia shot her a grin. Sunset couldn't help but chuckle before thumping the black haired girl on the forehead,grabbing her backpack and walking out of the door to the front of the building.

Octavia watched Sunset leave and just let out a deep sigh.

"Be safe..."

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

Sunset thanked the cab driver,who shockingly didn't question her apperence and claimed he had 'seen worse',while paying him the amount she owed and turning to look up at the apartment building. It was a very new looking building. She flung her backpack around so it was in front of her and fished around for the keycard. After finding it and tapping it on the pad on the side of building she began her desent upwards to the top floor. She hadn't expected to of gotten a whole floor as she would of been happy with a small one bedroom studio apartment but at the same time she wasn't complaining.

She arrived at the top floor and was awe struck by how big it was. She was expecting big but this was on a whole other scale. Never the less she placed her bag down by the coat rack,her head quickly catching sight of the mirror. She stood up properly and looked herself over. Helmet. Check. Body armour made out carbon fiber. Check. Arm mechanism that has reloadable shuriken beacause why the hell not. Check. She glanced down at the piece of paper Octavia gave her. What would Twilight even think? What if..she found someone else? Sunset shook her head as that was the last thing on her mind. She went to take her swords out of their holisters but stopped. She was a cyborg ninja (techinally),she was bound to be targeted for something. She quickly locked them back into their holisters and headed to the elevator.

"In for a penny,in for a pound," She mumbled to herself as she waited for the elevator.

Her new life begins now.
