Cleaning Darkness
Chapter 2: The Museum

By: Major Frostwing

I walked with the elements surrounding me the princess Nova leading us towards an unknown destination. "Not that I mind being escorted but where the fuck are we going?" I asked as I felt a hand impact the back of my head. I whipped around my hand seizing the neck of the one who hit me like a vice. I flicked my wrist as my spell gun appeared in my other hand planted firmly against their forehead. "If you value that little head of yours you will never do that again. We clear?" I asked as I heard a gun cock behind my own head. I released the element of magic dropping her to the ground before turning to see Nova with her own pistol leveled with my head.

"Jon please don't make me do this again." The princess said as her voice finally clicked in my head.

"Alright alright... I'll play nice I guess." I said dismissing my pistol. "I remember when you used to be afraid of holding a gun." I said only to get a glare leveled at me.

"You ready to cooperate?" She asked me as I shrugged.

"When in the presence of the one who put me in my little personal hell I better behave." I said mocking her the elements looked ready to jump me that was until Nova giggled.

"You haven't change. Still playing the villain and provoking everyone around you." I only chuckled.

"But of course." I said with a mock bow. "Shall we continue now?" Nova nodded her head holstering her weapon.

We all stood outside a museum which to be honest was fucking weird. "Why the hell are we at the Canterlot Museum?" I asked Nova as she only motioned for us to follow. "You have been hanging out with the other princesses to much Nova you are starting to become very cryptic." I pointed out as she only rolled her eyes.

"I know you will appreciate this Jon." Nova said as I only shrugged entering the museum to follow the Princess and the elements.

"Princess why would we bring Jon here there are a lot of dangerous artifacts here that he could try and take." The element of Generosity stated as I let out an annoyed huff.

"All dangerous artifacts are hidden away in a secret vault that only the princesses know about and to a degree me as well. If I wanted those little trinkets I would have already gone for them. Everything in here is just an imitation." I pointed out sliding my hands into my pockets.

We entered a large room of the museum that had a large destroyed car sitting on a pedestal in the center of the room. I looked at the car before I looked around the room seeing all kinds of old relics each one I knew for one reason or another. I looked up to see a banner which made me pause. "The Fall of Our Protector." I looked at the beginning of the line stating simply. "The Arrival" I walked over seeing a very old picture of me with the girls after the defeat of Discord.

"This... All of this is about me." I looked around the room walking slowly around the room noticing replicas of my swords and armor. My achievements and everything I did.

"We had this exhibit created a few weeks ago before your return." Nova said as I continued looking over each of the sections before I stopped at the end seeing a small object resting on a podium. The object's screen was shattered and spider-webbed. The object had seen better days.

"M-my phone..." I said as I reached out seizing the object only for alarms to blare. I held the object in my hand looking it over with a sad smile. I waved my other hand over the phone as the screen slowly repaired it's self. I watched the phone power up with the image of me with my kids so long ago standing in front of the orphanage.

I heard the clatter of feet enter the room prompting me to look over my shoulder to see a few security guards enter the room with their weapons leveled at me.

"It's alright." Nova said waving for the men to lower their weapons. "He is just here to retrieve his property. No need for weapons." The guards looked to the Princess before looking at me I only smiled wickedly at them.

"Oh come now Nova let them shoot I could use the exercise." I said raising my hand towards them only for Nova to seize my wrist.

"Don't you dare. This is not like it used to be. If you kill any civilians you will be put back into the stone prison." I looked to Nova before looking at the guards I clicked my tongue ripping my hand out of her grasp.

"Joy kill." I muttered looking back at my phone. "Mind if I get my car back at least?" I asked as I scanned through my phone.

"Yes you can have your car go fix it." Nova said as I walked past all of them looking over the damages to my car.

"I can't believe they shot my car with an artillery shell." I let out an annoyed sigh snapping my fingers as the car began to repair it's self only to stop half way through. A burning pain ripped through my chest forcing me to clutch at the source of my pain. "Looks like my magic is still fried from the elements... That's fucking annoying." I muttered out turning away from the car. "Fuck it I will make a new one it should keep me occupied." I turned away from the vehicle making my way back towards the girls.

"What's wrong big man? Can't perform with an audience?" Dash said only to get a smile from me.

"Trust me I am much better behind closed doors little girl." I said with a wink only to see her face turn crimson. "Anyway ignoring my torturing way and psychotic tendencies I think we are done here." I said rolling my wrist walking towards the exit with a pep in my step typing on my screen. I set my phone against my ear as it began to ring. "Tia am I able to have access to my funds?" I asked as she talked back to me. "Good have it sent to where I will be staying I have a big purchase that I need to make when I get to New Ponyville." I said before hanging up abruptly. Today was a good day all in all can't wait to get started.

Author's Note

I made a filler chapter just so Jon can have his phone back and get some more junk sorted out.
