Fallout Equestria: Isle of the lost.
Chapter Nineteen: Alliance
Previous ChapterNext ChapterGriffin Flight, the Griffin town is on fire. Down the way Hoof trot, the Minotaur town had fights out in the streets. This was all because I dared to have somepony say I am not fake. I worked to get to the Mansion in the middle of the slums. I found Skull Crusher and Black Feather fighting off the troops that were part of the coup. I removed my hood looking to them.
"Ah, hero. I see you have come out to help us with this." Skull Crusher calmly says. Giving a nod looking towards down the road to the slums. I could hear gunshots and explosions. " If you're after the ones causing this silly battle. It's not going to be easy for you to get down there."
I Look around, calmly lifting my blade. The two leaders nod. They are getting ready to charge. Skull Crusher lifts a poorly held together gun with the Minotaurs he leads.
"Now my friends. The rich and some of the leaders wish to cause a coup. Because we dare to fight the Queen! The queen is the reason for them being in power, to begin with! Let's help the hero remove them from power. Kill them if we have to. We may not wish to lose any more lives but to protect our home, we must do this. Come, soldiers let's go!!" He charges into the fray running into the slums
Black Feather sighs looking to his troops.
"Listen, my friends, I know you don't wish to fight with the hero. Since her showing up has caused the fragile peace to die. We have to end this battle remove the threats to our homes. Come with me. Let's bring peace back to our homes." The Griffins fly up into the air, lifting their machine guns to pour streams of fire down on the roads below. I pull the hood over my head.
I slowly walk through the streets, seeing the dead and the dying. This must have been what it was like during the war. The war must have had so many dead in the streets. Tears streamed down my face seeing families dead in the streets. Heard cries of little ones not to far away from me. I just wanted to leave this island I didn’t want this to happen because of me. This island had so much peace before I showed up.
But I am starting to see that if you want to change. You must do it through the pain. Going deeper, I finally find the battle. Friends fighting friends. But in the middle of the slums, I find the Mansion. Running by me was Screw and her workers. They rush through with makeshift weapons. Helping the ones stopping the coup. They wore some pretty heavy makeshift armor as well.
It's amazing how many fight. The ones causing the coup has many that wish to see me dead. They search for me while they fought. I notice they had sewers. But I couldn't get inside I have to find a way to get through this battle. Slowly I walk, passing each fight in the street. I saw Skull Crusher staying true to his name and crushing Griffins who were part of the coup left and right. Looking up to see Black feather aiming a strange weapon. I notice some well-made guns on the ground beside me. I pick them up, cocking them.
I place them under my cloak so nopony saw me. When I got closer to the street that had the Mansion the battle got extremely bloody. The streets were soaked in blood. I calmly step through the blood. I can't stop, I have to fight. Something explodes not far from me. I am happy with this cloak, but I am amazed at how well it works. Finally I got close the Mansion, the battle looks pretty nasty there.
Getting into the door wasn't going to be easy, as they had Minotaurs guarding the door. So I did what I could I found a spot to hide behind lifting my guns up firing at them, I made it look more like a distraction. After firing quickly hiding back into the shadows. Thanks to the cloak it was easy. After that I watched trip over themselves in fear. Looking around calmly the inside of this building looked newly built. It had so many expensive items in it. Most of them from the Queen. The light turned on they knew I was here. Over the PA one of them started to speak.
"Some hero you are, you disturb our peace and now you wish to harm our way of life." As he speaks I rush forwards "Wait! I am not done speaking to you! Stop!!"
I looked up at the cam and removed my hood.
"I don't care if you're killing innocents. I am going to deal with you my way. If that means killing you then so be it. Settle everything with your families. Here I come!" Putting the hood back on going through the first door. When I open the door machine guns started to fire to stop me, I have to back out. But after a while, I hear the glass shatter and Griffins made it inside starting to remove the threats that would cause me harm. I had no idea why they were bowing. Then I remember the legend; the legend gives these Griffins hope.
"Make sure nopony leaves." They nod heading to the door outside to make sure no pony ever leaves. But when I got into the main room. An explosion causes me to go blind. I feel something smash hard into me causing my head to throb, then I hear gunshots and a body dropping beside me. I felt myself being lifted to my hooves my vision slowly returned, seeing the face of Black Feather.
"Hero, let's end them." Skull Crusher came through the other door causing a dead Griffin to fly into the wall looking towards. I nodded to them it was time to take care of these fools. The three of us walked upstairs. Going into the room. I see Cricket standing with the leaders and the Rich.
"YOUR ALIVE?!" Cricket yelled in surprise. My two friends simply charge at the leaders and the rich who didn't fight back. ‘Cricket is mine!’ He pulls out his weapons and rushes me, our swords connect, sending sparks flying. I glare at him past the two blades.
"Yes, I am alive. After how you, Mouse, and Mix tried so hard to kill me. I am sure you won't tell the Queen. Because I doubt you want to know how badly you failed." I give him a smug smirk. Cricket hissed he spread his wings out, disengaging. I hear the leaders scream in fear and agony as Skull and Feather had their way with them. I’ve had enough of this, I hear a scream outside running out the door seeing Cricket. He stood over a filly, she was in his way and he was about to remove her.
“STOP!!!” I yell at the bug. Cricket lowers his weapons and without saying anything, he charges at me. I had to dodge him as he rushed by, narrowly avoiding his attacks. I came back up and prepared myself for another battle for my life.
Our fighting took us outside as I catch him by surprise and smash him through a window. I landed on him and stumble back onto my hooves as fast as I could. We were now in the middle of the street in the middle of the street. But when both sides saw us the battle stopped. For just a moment to look at the two of us. I lift my blade as we stared each other down.
"I am going to end you Cricket...After what you did to me, you took me from my love. You took me from those that needed me. Now you're in my way. They need me..." My anger grew I limped on my back hoof remembering the pain he caused me. Cricket’s many eyes soften a bit but he keeps himself alert . I feel my hate for him grow at every moment of pain. Tears streaming down my face. Cricket stops a moment as he sees the pain in my eyes.
"I did nothing to your Queen. I just showed up here forced in the war. Then you break me, you hurt me. You keep me in that prison for six months." I breathe hard, my body shaking with anger and pain. My horn glowing brightly from all the magic in me that has backed up since then.
But Cricket charges, breaking through my defenses making me fly into the wall, my sword dropping. He slowly walks to me.
" You may be the hero, but you’re still weak. You need to learn to lose. Maybe losing this.." He pointed at the pip buck. " Will give you an idea of loss. Losing what you brought with you from Equestria.” I growl in anger he brought his sword down on me. Quickly I lift my pipbuck, smashing it into his head over and over. He fell back very dazed.
I quickly grab my sword. Poor Cricket shook his head having a nasty pain in his head. Even though he is trying to kill me. He stared at me.
"I will not lose any more from Equestria. I lost so much when I came here. I am not going to lose anymore." My horn glowed brighter as our weapons clashed against each other again and again. Sparks fly as the war beside us kept going. Skull Crusher and Black Feather came out with one of the remaining living leaders. SkullCrusher spoke in a talkie that is connected to a PA system.
"All the leaders and the rich have been killed but one. Stop this pointless battle. Now!" The shooting has stopped now, the battle ends as it started with a whimper. Cricket turns to Feather and Crusher then looked at me. His anger grew to pull every sword from his many bug hands.
He starts slicing at me very quickly. I have to block, some swings manage to get past my guard, giving me some cuts. But my horn glowed brighter causing the sword to glow with me. I did one large swing and I splintered his swords along with my own parts of the blade fell to the ground. Looking at the blade I found a while ago. I dropped it charging quickly at Cricket getting on my back hooves despite the pain. Smashing my front hooves into him over and over.
"Hero!" Skull crusher said and tossed me his sword. I grabbed it and started to slice into Cricket over and over. I had to break through his shell to get into the weak body. He kicked me off and stood up bleeding strange blood. Many guns cocked around us. They all aimed at him.
I backed lifting up a gun I found, making sure there was ammo in the magazine.
"Cricket, for all the harm you caused many of the creatures of this island. I find you guilty...Fire..." Every single creature, even the ones that started the coup since most lost their families because of the Queen. I fired at Cricket, all the bullets went into the cut in the armor. He screamed in pain falling to the ground blood draining from all his wounds. I lifted my broken blade.
He looked up about to die. I had no heart left. He had to know the pain he caused me. Before the swing hit him, Mix rushed in, taking the blow from the sword. Picking up Cricket and vanished in time. Heading back to the Queen herself to repair Cricket.
I watched as my revenge was taken from me. I grew very angry I screamed so loudly. I screamed his named Cricket. All the pain he caused me all the sorrow filled that scream. I sat on my haunches feeling my sorrow and anger grow. I wanted revenge. I needed it so badly. Tears slowly fell from my eyes.
Skull calmly walked to me and helped me on my hooves.
"Wanting revenge young hero, is not the wisest thing to do. I know all the pain he has caused you. But still, the idea of wanting so much revenge will only continue to lead you down a road of pain and suffering."
I sigh, a horn was sounded to call for a meeting. The Griffins and Minotaurs that were part of the coup were arrested and I followed the others. Back to the meeting building. Maybe they will now see it my way.
0000
I stood waiting for the meeting to start. Many of the leaders of the rich were dead. So they had no say in what goes on in their towns. Many of the leaders of the state have been killed as well in this battle. All that is left is the military. Skull Crusher and Black Feather stood in the middle holding paper. They both spoke when it was the others turn.
"Now do you see why we need to have an alliance with the hero? You saw what happened just because the Queen wanted to be loved. So she gave these fools this power. We need to remove ourselves from the Queen. We join the hero and her friends."
Black Feather nods.
"I know many of you don't trust the hero. But she did so much for us that she didn't even have to. She risked her life to end this coup before it got worse. Now, will you let her speak?"
The leaders look at each other and they all nod.
I calmly stood up walking into the middle with my hooves gently clicking on the floor. I feel every movement of my bones It was time for things to change.
"The alliance is what we need. The war will start in a year. We need to make sure we all work together. During this time we will train to get ready. Then break through her defense in the entire island. I know this isn't what you want to do. But think of it this way. if we can bring peace to this land. then we can finally have hope. I can get home I can then get out of your manes." They all looked at each other. On the table set adapter for an alliance.
I read along the paper. But I needed to sign it myself. I lifted the pen with my magic. Writing my name looking up to them.
"For all, we should work together. Come down Write your names. Then we will head to Cliffside. But we need to make sure we have weapons and that the towns are ready for most of you to leave." They looked at each other all of them came down to write their names. Because they knew if they didn't they might lose their power. It was time to get me back to Cliffside.
I just simply watched them write down their names. I felt it would be useful to watch how these things worked. Then when the leaders of the military signed it they looked at me. I blinked wondering why they stared at me. They all looked at me for a moment. I didn't know what to think at all.
"They wish you to speak little hero." Skull Crusher whispered Blinking a moment closing my eyes thinking of what to say. My eyes looked at the rest of them.
"I feel this is the time to move on from the hate that the Queen has placed in all of the creatures of this island. I know I am not the best leader, but I am from a land that was always in constant battle even after the Light-bringer did her job. No matter what the heroes did. The ones beyond the heroes still had to fight. It made evil feel they would have a challenge out there. It's a sad thing but also extremely true. Security had her time of being a hero. But the thing with this. Even though all heroes have had their missions end. Sometimes they have to understand with the pain."
After I speak these words they just all stare at me, but I smile gently.
"Sorry, it’s just how one thinks when they grow up in a dead wasteland. You're all extremely lucky that it never happened to you. You guys got saved from the spell the island had." Smiling weakly. They walked back up to their seats and they grabbed their wooden hammers.
"The alliance with Cliff Side and the hero being the leader. We shall fight with them to take down the Queen. Remove the spell then trade with Equestria." They hit their tables to show their support for the alliance. One of the ponies picked up the alliance paper and took it into the back of the building to store it. I sigh softly, I have to get back. Blackfeather places his claw on my shoulder.
"Little hero, we are going to need your help to gather everything. It's going to take a few days. Then we can get you back to Cliffside. But first, go head to the Inn I am sure they wish to throw a party for you." Blinking a moment a party for me. Slowly I walked outside. I noticed the bodies being cleaned up. But I saw a little griffin hatchlings crying over a body. I calmly walk over to the little one. I wrap my hooves around them hugging them tightly.
I could feel small punches from the little one. I am sure their parents were part of the coup members. But they calm down. I lift them up on my back.
"Hold tight I am taking you to the inn little one. You don't belong here.." The little one doesn't even speak. But I slowly walk along to the inn. I feel many eyes staring at me as I walk along. Some had smiles some had anger in their eyes. Many died because of me being here. But they knew it would have happened sooner or later without me. I can tell in their eyes that they didn't wish to be. Slowly I walked to the inn. My back hoof even more painful. I grunt the little hatchling looked at my leg and jumps off my back.
I stop a moment watching them look at my leg they remove a cloth wrapping it around my hoof. Of the poor leg rushing to get water. They clean my leg, I groaned in pain it is so sensitive. The pain of the leg goes through the entire leg to my hoof when they clean it up. There was no fur on the leg. It was slowly growing but the leg is really beat up. Then the little hatchling jumps back on my back. I smile weakly at her. Slowly getting inside the inn.
00000
I walk in through the door feeling the little one getting off my back. The lights must be off it’s very dark. I don’t know why my eyes must be messed up with how the sun is. But is there really a sun outside? I don’t really know anymore all I really see in my head.. Is the pain I am causing to this land. Before I could go on in my head. The light suddenly turns on and a loud surprise sounds through the air. My eyes finally fix itself and I see the banner over the heads of the creatures of this town. The banner says in deep black letters. ‘Thank you Hero’ Before I could back away Screw kissed me on the lips. My cheeks burn so bright red, ‘I need to hide!!!’ I think to myself.
I slowly back away after the kiss was over. I try to hide, but they wouldn’t let me hide. I am sat in a chair near Doc. Lifting my leg to place it on a stool near me. They give me apple cider. Doc takes a look at my leg frowning. He takes a calm look at it. Gently touching it I felt a deep pain and groan gently. Using the magic of my horn, I lift up my mug to drink. Removing the cloak fully Doc just stared at all my scars and small wounds that have healed so poorly.
"Oh, goddess Star Shooter what did they do to you in that prison." I glare at Doc my eyes full of pain. I try to hold back the tears. He sees pain I feel, and doesn’t press anymore. I smile weakly, drinking the cider. As the party went on without getting into the middle of it. Screw quickly came over grabbing me in her magic.
"Come dance with me." I don't even fight. I just feel so tired. But she starts to dance and the music is happy and bouncy. I felt some pain but I calmly dance. I have no smile on my face. I just wish to get back to Blaze. That's all I can think of. But I finally allow myself to loosen up. The tense muscles of my body calmly leave me. I feel every inch of me fill with pain. But it is a good pain. I keep dancing. While the ponies on the stage sing and play happy music.
I feel drunk from the cider. But after a while, I don't care. I feel so weak and drunk that I am carried to my room as the party ends. I feel a pony covering me up with the blankets. But also getting in bed with me. But I don't feel anything happening. I finally fall asleep.
00000
Opening my eyes looking beside me I see Screw. But she wasn't all over me. I think she did this to keep me from hurting myself. I slowly try to move but she wraps around me. Whispering gently.
"Little one don't leave yet." My cheeks turn bright red. " I just wish to thank you for your kindness to us." She smiled pulling me into a deep kiss. "But I know you're taken. So I just slept with you to keep you from getting hurt too much. Doc asked me to do so. He wants to take a look at you before you leave to help." I nod calmly as I slowly get out of the bed. Heading downstairs. Doc takes a look at me.
"Come with me to the hospital Star Shooter. I got a room ready to check everything that happened to you. This will take a while to. I see a lot of things I need to clean and work on." I gave a weak nod. Following him to the hospital. It looks brand new as well. I have a feeling that the Griffin town was just recently built. Maybe like a year or so ago. I follow him into it. He leads me to a room closing the door. He has been given all the tools to give me an entire look.
"Now forgive me Star Shooter much of this might be painful. First thing I need to check that leg." I nod weakly he had me lay on the table. Calmly removing the cloth from my left back leg. He grabbed some water and started to clean the leg. He looks at it closely seeing many old burns that haven't fully healed yet. He holds up the leg a bit. Frowning.
"Star Shooter your leg is infected as well. I am also going to have to break it again to set the bone right. This is going to hurt a lot be ready for it." He gave me a stick of wood to bite down on. He looks at my leg with the spell to look through the skin then taking a hammer. Then he smashes down hard on the bone shattering it again. Setting it correctly, then wraps a bandage around it. We sadly didn't have the magic bandages like in Equestria. He finishes with covering the entire leg as well as the hoof with a strong cast.
"When we get back I am going to have to tell Blaze. She is going to have to remove that clean it. Then get a new bandage to re-wrap. Heh, she is going to get to baby you witch she loves doing so much. " He then takes a cloth cleaning along with my fur. All kinds of grim and nasty crap slide off to the table. He had an ‘eww’ look on his face. He then looked at my horn. He could tell it was broken off and regrown through magic.
" Star Shooter. I am going to have to tell Blaze since you two want to be together till death. That she is going to have to do a lot to keep you away from raw magic." I smiled weakly. He looked at all the scars. Frown forming on his face. I could tell he wasn't happy at all how I was treated. He looked at the scars. He even saw the spot I was skinned. "Star Shooter what in the world did they do to you?"
I start to sob softly. His ears drooped.
"They... skinned me alive. Cut me up, even cut off my leg. It regrew because of the magic. Why they did to me. I have no idea. But they did so much to me. Even cut out my ability to have foals. Then it regrew. But they said my ability to have children will never return." Doc sighed shaking his head. Looking at the stinger wound that is sewn shut. He removed the stitches. The hole opened back up. He took a scope to look inside. He took a tool inside digging out some dead tissue. I growl deeply. I know he was trying to help me but I felt that he was making me worse. He sews the wound back up cleaning it. He looked into my ears. Inside of my ears is extremely nasty looking.
"I am going to need you to take a bath after this Star Shooter. The bandage will be alright. It will dry. Just I don't think I was able to remove everything. Now one last thing." He took a scope to my heart to listen. " Okay Star Shooter take some deep breaths." I did what he asked calmly my lungs filled with air slowly then breathe out. Feeling the hot air slowly coming out of my nose. A Griffin walked in looking to Doc.
"Excuse me Doc may I take a look at her to?" The female Griffin smiles, Doc looks back to her nodding.
"I feel it might be wise. I had to break her leg all over again. It seems they used so much raw magic on her. That’s a lot of scars and the wound didn't heal correctly. Like that deep scar on her neck." The Griffin nodded. She walks over to me with a gentle smile.
" Hello, Star Shooter. I am Needle. Yes, stupid name. But my family found it funny. Since the doctor that helped me hatch. Said I could maybe be a doctor just like him. Now I am going to be coming with you to Cliff Side. From what Doc told me you need more doctors." I nodded weakly. Doc backed off she looked at the tissue from the wound.
" I had a magic eater sting me. His stinger got stuck in me. So I had to remove it." Needle sighed.
"Well, they also have a type of venom that will cause a negative effect on unicorns only. Since most of their time, they use magic. Magic is a part of them to the point that even some of their tissue has magic within them. So you got lucky. That he only found some tissue with this decay."
I nod weakly she checked my horn when she did a spark came off.
"How many times did they attach you to raw magic?"
I sigh closing my eyes
"I was pretty rebellious. I wanted to get out. So to punish me they kept me attached to the magic for like three months. Then they destroyed my mind with some unicorn that tried to make a story of death in my head. I just didn't know why either. But the queen wished that I was ripped apart. Before they fully left. Cricket tossed me in the wall. Then took my leg. Twisting it to the point my bone split out of the leg."
Needle blinks looking to Doc.
"She is lucky she is not demanding magic every day."
I did have the feeling that I need to have magic in my system all the time. Raw powerful magic. Just thinking about it made me hungry for it. ‘Could I do it?’ Maybe I can find some here. I tried to just think about that for a while. But then I think of Blaze. Seeing her face of pain when I did it last time. I remove the thoughts of wanting pure magic.
"I do wish I could have that in my body. Pure magic in me. But I promised Blaze I would never allow that to happen to me again. I love her I want her to be happy that her lover is going to listen to her." Needle smiles softly nodding.
"That is so romantic. But I need to check more of your scars. I might even have to dig in a few to see how well they healed. " I gulp nodding. Needle asks me gently to get on my back. She opened one of the healed scars. That is from where my ovaries are located. She calmly looks inside there. Seeing that they were removed at first and slowly grown back.
" I'm sorry to say Little Star shooter but I doubt you will ever be able to have foals. I am sure you and Blaze want little ones. So if you do. You will have to take your eggs to mix them with hers and inject them into her. I am sorry to say but I don't see a way you will ever get little ones." She sealed up the wound. I was still fully awake from this. But I am surprised they never put me asleep while doing this.
"Um. I am sorry to say but I am so much pain right now. Why don't you put me to sleep." Needle gave me a gentle smile.
" I am sorry but we have no Memory orbs here or the means to do so. So if you need to have surgery. You will need to be fully awake for it. Now back on your stomach please." Slowly shifting myself onto my stomach. She removed the scar from where the heated spikes went into. Looking inside with a tool slowly removed scared and burnt tissue. Hissing in pain. But she frowned seeing so many of the scars. She didn't poke at the rest of them looking over to Doc.
" I don't think it's wise to keep doing this to her. So I am going to seal this wound up. Then I think she could use a bath." Doc nodded.
" We will head back to the inn. I will make sure the tub she goes into has a lot of hot water. Then I can cut her long mane. Since it grew out along with her tail."
I found it interesting that I never noticed my long mane and tail. Till now it's odd to me that now when they mention it. it starts bothering me. Needle nods. Leaving the room looking back at me with a gentle smile. I finally get a good look at her. She is brown with a lion-like body. Her head is owl like as well.
"I will meet you with the main force in a few days. Then we'll head to your home." I give a weak nod. Slowly getting off the table.
"Come with me Star Shooter there is a barber here." Blinking a moment nodding.
0000
He leads me to the middle of the town. It's odd the middle of the town is a mix of Minotaur and Griffin buildings. In the middle of this is a barber. We calmly walk inside. The barber isn't either a Minotaur or a Griffin. He looks at me with a large smirk. It was a salamander with strange claws that looked like they were sharpened to cut manes as well as tails.
I sat in the chair. He looks at my mane and tail and had an odd look on his face. When he speaks he sounds so stuck up.
"Oh, darling. Your mane and tail look…." he sniffs "...terrible, dear. Now sit whereas I make you beautiful." I sigh, the Salamander calmly hummed gently. Using a claw that feels like a comb. Then with the other claws cutting some of the manes. "Oh, darling, I can tell you're a hero. The unkempt mane. The poorly maintained tail. Oh, darling, this is not done!" I sighed softly while this Salamander kept talking.
"Oh, poor heroes. They think they do so much for all the land. But they forget to look decent. Oh, such a bad thing." I wanted to cover my ears. Since he kept yammering on and on. I felt the comb go through the mane as my mane fell down to my hooves. I tried to block out his voice. " Oh, darling you look so beautiful now." He even placed bows in my mane as well as my tail. I didn't care. Doc laughed as he pays the Salamander.
"Come back sometime, you look so darling with your mane done." I quickly rush out of there.
When Doc follows me I turn to look at him. "Never again...Never again!!" He laughed. A pout forms on my lips. Then I sighed. We walked back through the town. This town was amazing. So many vendors around the main part of town. So many folks buying and selling. It must have been like this before Equestria blew itself up. Of course, the past is the past. I think it's best to stop hating the past.
00000
Walking back into the inn. They are cleaning up from the party we had the night before. Doc led me upstairs. He forced me into the tub. It was one of those old tubs were you had to carry the water to it. He walked back downstairs then a few mares walked up with him with buckets. Dumping pure hot water into the tube. I gasped in pain. Feeling the water burn me a bit. But when the water slowly filled in the tube. I felt such glee and pleasure from the water.
" Now I want you to soak in there for awhile. It will help your scars. I will come back up when I feel you have had enough of that little one." I smiled nodding leaning back just closing my eyes rest. For the first time in my life. I didn't even want to move or even think. It was pretty silent. But the door opened up. Seeing Black Feather and Skull Crusher.
" Little hero we need to speak with you." Said Skull Crusher. I gave a very half hearted nod.
"Skull Crusher and I wish to come with you. It sounds like we are the last companions of the legend. So we wish to follow you. Meet the others of legend." I give a nod.
"I am sure they would be happy to have you two." They both nod. They both slowly walk out. I lie back into the tub. Seeing the door open and close. But I don't care. I hear hoof steps walking towards me. I looked around.
"Um...hello?" A hood was removed seeing Jonon staring right at me. She has tears in her eyes.
"Jonon..." I say softly. I don't move, as she comes forwards and wraps her legs around me in a hug.
"Little hero you're alive...I am going to head back to let the others know. But I had to come myself. When I saw the new companions of legend on the wall…”
"No don't tell the others. Not yet. I wish to surprise everypony when I get there. So please ask Speckled to form a party at the inn." Jonon frowns, but sighs and nods.
"I will do this for you hero. I feel you’re right if you show up. I am sure Blaze will lose it. She is already very broken. I haven't seen her smile for the past six months. When that recording came out of you being dead, it broke her."
"Oh...That wasn't a recording... That was life." She stares at me, anger forming in her eyes, it subsides after a while. "Jonon I know it was a bad idea. But the one who did this all to me. Told me it would be best. So the Queen will slow down with all her planning." Jonon sighs nodding.
"The one who did this to me is named Burnout." Her eyes pop wide open staring at me.
"We just welcomed him and his family into Cliffside. Oh, I will not tell Blaze he is the reason that Blaze couldn't find you."
I nod, she then places her hood back on her head slowly heading back out of the inn.
Finally closing my eyes, falling asleep.
00000
Opening my eyes when Doc walks in he smiles.
"They seem to be ready to get going little one. They have a cart ready for you. Since I don't wish for you to walk." I give a nod getting out of the tub. He dries me off with a towel. Then grabbing my cloak my bags. Looking into my bag seeing my broken sword. I sigh softly. Putting on the cloak and heading outside. Doc followed behind me. I notice the cart is farther behind. It is empty just for me, but some others had tons of gear and young ones.
Slowly getting into the cart laying down. Placing the hood over my head so they don't see me when I get back. Until I got to the party. They started to march down the road. It would take a few hours to get home. They even started to sing.
"Stomp stomp.." We walked through the land. I looked at everything."Stomp through the land. To fight and gain our hearts through the love of battle. Endless battle. Griffins, Minotaurs walking side beside to ready for the battle to take down the Queen.”
I was able to see what they walk by. The song is repeated throughout the trip. The same song over and over again. I close my eyes for meaning to rest them for a bit, I end up falling asleep.
A few hours later I opened my eyes back up when I hear a female voice saying, “Halt!” Placing my hood over my head. Gently getting out of the cart. They were talking to Blaze. Who doesn't even have a smile. But just had her bar body. I calmly walked into the inn. Seeing they built a stage and everything. I was going to have to wait. So I went to the back of the newly made stage sitting there waiting. Jonon sat beside me whispering softly.
"I have a feeling you're going to sing for Blaze?" I gave a nod.
"Maybe that will be best." I nodded. She walked away from me. I had to wait for the party to start.
00000
A few hours later the party starts but I don't see Blaze. But after awhile Blaze walks into the Inn with Jonon and Dr. Slice. But not the other two who were just drinking. Blaze didn't seem to want to stay. She was slowly about to walk out but Jonon shook her head. Blaze nodded sitting back down.
I calmly lift up the mic, the curtain opens. I still had the hood on. They have some gentle music playing. I started to sing;
"To some that may know." They know the voice but they looked around. The Blaze grew angry. I could tell in her voice. She thought it was fake. Jonon had to hold her down shaking her head. "I have one in my heart is a wonderful beauty. She has won my very heart." I felt I was poorly singing. " I love her so much. She has given me peace. I calmly left the stage with the hood still on. " I wish to live with her for the rest of my life. For she has given me the love I don't deserve.” When I get closer, I can see that she is getting pissed.
"Who is doing this?!" Dr. Slice tries to shrug. I then remove my hood, the entire inn stares at me in shock. I removed my cloak.
"Blaze...I am alive... I know after six months of pure pain in a prison. Also yes this is me. I tried everything to get back to you. But they kept me from you." Blaze just stares. My cheeks burn brightly as I got so many looking at me now.
