The black hawk

Meeting the ponies

"You'll be fine this is just a bump in the road you'll find your feet again." As I walk away I saw a sphere of light in front of me as I looked at it I started to approach me and I reached out and touched it and then it engulfed me in a bright light. Once the light faded I saw I was in a grassy field with a forest right behind me and me little ways away I could new a house of some kind." Well, this is strange maybe whoever lives there can tell me where I am." I started to walk to the house as I walk I noticed that there were a lot of animals. " Why are there are so many animals here is it a farm?" Once I got to the door I knocked three times and waited. A one moment please came from inside the house. The door started opening and I didn't know nor do I understand what I saw but a strange looking woman I can tell because of the huge breast.

Monster she yelled an abruptly slam the door in my face.

Well ok, I guess I am a monstrosity on the battlefield but I’m not that scary am I? A shadow soon covers me I turn my head to see a bear!

Rooooooaaaaaaarrrrrrr!

Shit! I jumped back as it swung its right arm and reach my arm behind me and pulled my sword off my back and raised it over my head and prepared to crack the bear's skull open.

"Please don't hurt him Mr. Monster!"

"lady get back in that house and let me handle this! Also, I'm not a monster lady my name is guts!" Ok, this is the strangest looking woman she looks like a mixture of a woman and a horse.

"Harry please run and get away from him he could be dangerous!" Guts what is a strange name. I wonder where he came from maybe twilight could help.

After saying that the bear backed off." What the hell, ok what the hell did you do?"

"W-well he’s one of my friends and he only wanted to protect me."

I was giving her a shocked look. " Friends with a bear how could that happen?" This is insane how did she make friends with a bear?

"Well, Mr.guts can you tell me what are you if you don't mind me that is?"

"I'm a human now I have a question what are you? I’d also like to know what of their races live near here.” Now that I have had a good look at her I can see I’m a good head and a half taller.

"I'm a pony a Pegasus to be specific Mr. guts then there are earth ponies and unicorns as well." Well, he seems to be a little quick to the point but it could just be the way his people act.

A Pegasus like in the legends, no that can't be there just that there just old myths and old fairy tales. "That's impossible what you’re saying is true then the legends are true. Ok, so you a mythic creature but instead of having the body of a horse you have a hot woman's body. Ok where am I and how do I leave?"

"Well I don't know how you got here but maybe my friend twilight can help. she's really good with magic, maybe she can send you home if you want that is?" did he just call me hot. I felt my face heat up

This maybe the best option I have right now so lead the way to return to the battlefield. "Well miss let's get moving shall we miss?"

"Yes let's get going then."

She turned and started to walk down a path to a town over a bridge. ''May I ask your name, miss?"

" Oh yes, it's Fluttershy Mr. guts."

" Please just call me guts and please take me to your friend some I can leave I have to continue my journey and find my dream." She smiled and told me to follow her as we walk I noticed a town in the destinies. Soon we walked into the town I saw that the majority of the inhabitants of the town are earth ponies and pegasus like Fluttershy a few unicorns. They look so strange I've never seen clothes like theirs.

“So Fluttershy where does your friend live?”

“She lives in the town library in the middle of town.” I wonder if Twilight can help guts or perhaps the princess could if twilight can’t. “If you don’t mind me asking what did you do back where you’re from.”

“I was a mercenary I fought for lords of lands in wars pay wasn’t too bad I could feed myself at least.” She stopped and just looked at me.

“Is that why you have that humongous sword on your back and the scars on your face?”

“Yes, it is, not think me a mindless killer unless you harm woman or children in front of me or I am on the battlefield I don’t fight or kill people. But I won’t back down if I’m attacked.”

“Well, that’s it over there the big tree. “I pointed to twilight tree library and I could see spike sweeping the front stoop.

“Do you mean the tree Fluttershy?”

“Yes that’s the town library twilight should be there.”

Ahh, timber wolfs are attacking so one screamed out as they ran by us and Fluttershy got scared and flow to Twilight's house.

I better find out what that scream was about I thought to myself. Well saving people is the best way to make people like them these should be easy. I put on my helmet and draw my sword I started to run to the screaming. As I ran I took notice as I was getting closer to a forest and I saw what like guards fighting and losing against what looked wooden wolf there were only twenty or so.

Guards pov

"Where the are the reinforcements!?"

“Sir we have to fall back there are too many!”

“Hold your ground mare we are the royal guard we do not retreat stand and fig….” The unit captain was tackled to the ground and had his jugular ripped out by a wolf. The wolf then turned and start walking over to me.

“S-somepony please help as a wolf was about to kill me. But I was spared as a sword cut off the wolf’s head off and its lifeless body falls to the ground I look up to see a strange looking stallion.

Guts pov

“Get you and your commands and get back to the town and I’ll handle them ok.” As I talked I cut down two more of the abominations. At this the wolfs and the guards stop to look at me. To all, you guard who wants to live fall back town the and leave these things to me.

“Are you insane you got lucky killing three!”

“Shut and run all of you, I cut another wolfs chest open. Run damn it get out of here!” at that, they all ran to the town and looked back to see me fighting the wolfs. Two jumped at me and I cut one in the stomach and perished another one throw the chest. Five down fifteen to go I said to myself.

Twilight pov

My door swung open and Fluttershy flow in panicking. “Fluttershy what’s wrong I asked with concern?” Timber Wolfs are attacking the town twilight and guts is gone she tells me in a worried tone. Who're guts I thought of that can wait for now we have to deal with the wolfs? “Fluttershy go get the girls and I’ll head out to help the guards.” With that, she leaf and I was not out the door as well.

Guards pov

“This is insane he’s beaten eighteen timber wolfs by himself and he doesn’t have a scratch on him,” I said in disbelief the rest of the surviving guards agreed Even the townsfolk stop running and looked on In amassment marvelous fighter before us. Guards we heard some pony yell behind us to see twilight and her friends running to us.

“What’s happening here did you beat the wolfs?”

“No miss sparkle, in fact, we lose ten guards and Capitan steel hammer. “Then why the hay is your lot not fighting the wolfs back to the forest rainbow yelled. Rainbow! I all but yelled,” I’m sorry sugar cube but she’s right why ain’t you’ll fighting?”

“Well ma we were about to wiped out by them but a strange stallion showed and killed three timber wolfs in less than ten seconds. He told us to run for the town and we did since then he’s killed eighteen of the twenty wolfs by himself.” The marks look shocked and amazed at hearing this then Twilight spoke up.

“So where is he then?” They all point at a stallion with his back to us.”

Gasp Fluttershy what’s wrong? “That’s guts out there the one I said told you about twilight.”

Guts pov

“Wow I expected and much harder fight from these abominations well two left one seems to be the alpha wolf and its beta. Well looks like you the only two left the smaller one ran at me head on. I swung my sword down but missed and the wolf. It jumped up and bit into my left shoulder’s armor. I pulled my blade back and stabbed it through the heart of the wolf thus killing it. I grabbed its head and pulled the teeth out and throw it to my right. “Looks like it’s just me and you big guy haha.” Before I took a step the wolf turns and run away.

Guards pov

We watched as a wolf final got him we thought the wolf had killed him but after a second his swords ran cleanly through it and killed it. After that, the alpha turned and run away the guard started to run to this guts fellow.

“Sir! are you ok do you need medic aid let me see your shoulder?” The female guard I saved ran up to check it only to see my dented armor.

In bronze blades mind

By Luna's moon, he’s got a lot of muscle on his forearm. Plus all these scars he’s seen a lot of battles in his time. I wonder if he’s another Kingdom solider? I was brought out of my thoughts as I see him taking off his helmet.

“Hey what’s your name and why were those thing attacking the town?”

“Oh my name is bronze blades sir and I don’t know why they attack. But I’m happy you were here. We could have never beat that many it takes six guards to kill one.”

“You can’t be serious they were so weak.” Saying this made her go silent and just stare at me in shock.

Um, guts are you okay I hear Fluttershy say behind me and I heard six sets of hoofs behind me. Yes, I answer “I’m fine Fluttershy I said without looking at her so who’s with you?” I turned to see a group of woman and the one that stood out the most was a lavender fur woman with a horn on her head and bright purple eyes.

“Well, there my friend’s Twilight, Rainbow, Pinkie, Applejack, and Rarity.”

I was almost tackled to the ground by the pink one. But I managed to stay standing and out of instinct I picked her up and throw her into the guards. I looked at her as she started to get back up. “What the hell are you doing to jump on me I could have stabbed to out of instinct you know!”

“Oh I’m sorry gutsy I was just so happy that you saved the town and the guards so I wanted to through you a party to say thank you. Do you like that don’t you.”

Ok, she’s way too happy for my liking so high per.” I’m sorry but no I don’t like parties so I’m going to have to say no but I appreciate the thought.” As if I hit here her extremely curly hair straighten and she got a few shades darker pink and she started to cry a small river. “Hey don’t cry I’m just not the party type of guy.” I pleaded with her so she would stop and she did. Next, the white one walked up a gasped.

“Oh, my word darling your clothes are hideous! I insist that I take you to my boutique and get you some new ones.

“Ok hold on I don’t care about clothes and I don't care about clothes whether or not they look good all I care about is swinging my sword.”

Spike pov

I finally caught the other to see them talking to a huge strange stallion with a huge sword. I walked up behind them to see the dead wolfs. The next thing I saw made my blood run cool. Rarity had her hands on the stallion’s chest. “Um, Twilight who’s that and why does rarity have her hands on his chest?” I asked with a little venom in my voice as I stare at him.

“Oh, spike I think Fluttershy said his name is gut and she wants to get him new clothes because she thinks she is hideous.”

“Is that all?”

“Pretty much yes.”

I let out a breath of relief and looked back to the wolfs.“So who took down the wolfs?” Twilight smiled and pointed to guts with a smile. “ You mean to tell me he did all this by himself?”

“Yes, he did spike the guard saw him take them down. The alpha even turned tail and ran from him.”

I listened intently somepony is that strong it’s incredible. “I want to meet him to say thanks for saving the town and the guards.” As soon as I finished saying that I started to walk to guts. “Hey man, I want to say thanks for saving the town.”

Guts pov

I look down to the little thing in front of me and I have to wonder what it is. “Please do think me rude but what are you?” Looking at him and all the ponies around I seem to be a good head or so taller than them. I can see the one they called Applejack eyeing my muscles with a smile I don’t quite appreciate that smile.

“I’m Spike the dragon and Twilight's number one assistant.”

“A dragon I’ve never seen your kind before.” I talked as I took my helmet off and looked at them all but Fluttershy looked shocked. “Is something wrong you look surprised.”

Well spike started,” I don’t think any of us have seen your spices like you before guts were it?”

“Yes it’s guts and I could say the same I’ve never seen a town like this or talking ponies that walk like humans.” This is a strange new land I wonder did fate bring me here or was it a stroke of bad luck?

“What do you mean they don’t, what are ponies like where you’re from?”

“Their beast of burden and war there used for farming and riding on their backs into battle.”

"What!"

They all yelled in horror.

“I can’t say that I don’t know how this may feel but that’s just how my kind see them I’m sorry. I didn't that to be and insulate to you all it’s just how they're seen by my kind. “Me saying that did seem to put them at ease.

“So can I turn this things body’s in to get money from the lord of the land?” I wonder how much they're worth?

What are you talking about and what’s a lord of the land asked bronze?

I looked back to her and the other. They all seemed to be wondering what I meant.“Well the lord of the land it the person in charge of the town and where I’m from you can get money for killing dangerous animals or bandits. So mercenaries like me and knight take care of them for payment but I guessing it doesn’t work that way here?”

“Well yes, the mayor can it’s just rare because not many can do what you just did.”

“Twilight you mean to tell me that there aren’t too many who can fight them? Or is it they just don’t do anything?”

“No its that they don’t come to little towns like ponyville.”

“Ya them varmints won’t come unless ya pay 'em an arm and leg no good for nothing thieves is all they are.”

Um, I may be able to work this to my advantage. “Um hey twilight can you take me to your mayor I think I have a proposition that may help both sides.” I seemed to have caught her attention and she looked at me.

“Of course please follow me guts.”

Twilight pov

“So guts what is this proposition of yours.” I was genially curious about what he wanted and maybe I could help. He looked at me then back to in front of us.

“Well if the mayor can find me a place to sleep then I’ll take that instead of getting paid. I’ll fight any beast that may attack the town. But if not I can find a cave in that forest outside of town.”

I froze and he bumped into me.” You ok twilight?”

I looked back to him with hope. “All you want is a place to stay and then you’ll protect ponyville right.”

“Yes. I don't want much just somewhere to sleep and eat is perfect for me.”

“Well, I have a room you could use if you want. “ I could see the gears in his mind turning. This is the best scenario ponyville can have a private defender! I have to get him to stay here, the town could thrive with him here to kill the monsters that come from the everfree. “So what do you say guts?”

guts pov

Well, this is what I want for now so this is my best option. “That seems fine twilight I guess I’m staying with you from now on so where are we heading.”
