The mane six and I was walking through Canterlot. They were having a friendly conversation well except Twilight she was saying something about "magic kindergarden" I just followed behind them as they lead my to the castle. Then it spoke again metaphorically that is.
"Why are you following these 'ponies' there princess is just going to throw you in a dungeon." It told me
'It's either we follow them or get hunted down and by the way what's your name I don't want to call you an it' I said in my head.
"Have it your way but if things get out of hand I'll take control of you and for my name it is Saber." Saber told me saying the first part fast.
'Nice to meet you Saber...Wait did you say take control over me?!?!' I screamed in my head. A minute passed then two I got no answer. I started to say something else till Rainbow snapped me back to reality.
"Come on slowpoke we're almost their." She said pointing at the others far ahead of us.
"Challenge excepted." I said taking a running stance. "But you can't use your wings." She didn't say anything and got into a running stance.
"Three... Two... One... Go." I yelled as Rainbow and I sprinted towards the others. Thanks to being on the track and soccer team i'm a very fast runner. We dodged ponies left and right now Rainbow was quick on dodging due to her agility but since she was used to flying I had the upper hand. So I was a decently far way that's when I heard it. Wings. I heard it getting closer I looked back to Rainbow gaining on my with her wings but she stayed on the ground so it looked like she was running. Then a planed formed in my head.
She drew closer when just has she was about to pass me I tripped her but before she could hit the ground I picked her up bridle style. Without a second thought I started to walk to the others since we were quite close. She didn't argue that I was holding her this way. She blushed and looked forward to make sure none of her friends were looking.
"You know cheating isn't a good way to win something and would you like me to put you down." I told her. She looked me and said.
"I'm sorry for cheating I just wanted you too be impressed by what I can do and yeah I don't want any of my friends to find out i'm being carried like this." I nodded and put her down. Rainbow caught up to them and Applejack had finally calmed down Twilight. They entered the big double doors I was about to enter too till two spears stopped me.
"Halt! Why are you here you peasant." The guard on the right said with disgust probably because I didn't look like any of the other ponies. The main six didn't notice and kept walking.
"I'm here to see Celestia, so if you could kindly move your toothpicks away that would be great." I told the duo.
"That's Princess Celestia you." Guard on the left said with venom in his voice.
"Listen I'm going to go and forget that this ever happened." I moved there spears and made my way down the corridor much to their displeasure. They started to run after me which in turn caused me to run i'd rather not get poked today even though their stance is one of a noob. I could barely see the six ponies I came here with turn a corner. I made haste to them with the guards close enough to keep me in their sights. When I turned the corner I saw the group by a large door looking around trying to find me. With a wave of my hand they caught me in there sights and the guards which were behind me. The six looked at me confused except Rainbow who looked ready for a fight and Pinkie well... She's pinkie.
I stop next to them and turned around I was about to say something but I saw one of them throw their spear but his throw was off and was making it's way to Rainbow who didn't have much time to react unlike me. I darted too the left in front of her to make sure it wouldn't cause any harm to the mare. Unfortunately for me the spearhead made its way into my left arm thankfully they were far enough to were it didn't go in very far. Some people would have screamed if they got hit in the arm with a spear but my pain tolerance is really high. They girls gasped and stood there shocked.
"I tried to be reasonable and say I'd forget about it but you almost hurt my friend." I said with venom coating every word I spoke. The guards got into what I think was a fighting stance and told me too surrender I ripped out the spear and broke the spearhead off it to make a staff.
"That's it." Rainbow said about reading to charge.
"Please stay back I don't want any of you hurt." I said with a smile they all looked at me shocked that I wasn't on the ground due to my hurt arm. I took off my head band and tied it around my arm tightly then walking over to the guards with my newly formed staff. "You're going to have a BAD time." I said with as much darkness in my voice as possible but on the inside I was happy that I finally got to say that line. The guards looked uneasy but stood there ground.
To make this less confusing there is guard number one and two. Guard #2 the one who threw the spear charged me blindly I stepped to the right and used my staff to hit him in the back of the head which in turn made him loose balance hit face plant into the ground. Guard #1 got closer spear at the ready as guard 2 got back up he walked closer as well ,unfortunately, for them they didn't see each other.
Just as guard 1 swung his spear towards me the other guard was throwing a punch at me in the same direction. As they drew closer I swung my body backwards to do a back handspring as I was doing this the flat head of the spear hit the 2 guard rendering him unconscious but at the same time guard 2 hit guard 1 in the head making him fall to the floor. The ground drew closer so I used my hands to pro pale me up right landing on my feet.
"Now that that's done." I turned to the others. "Let's meet Celestia." They all got out of there stupor.
"Princess Celestia." Twilight corrected and moved to the door which I guessed lead to the throne room. Before the could open the door I reached there first and opened it up for them to enter.
"What a gentlecolt." Rarity said as they all went in the door. I went in last and shut the door behind us.
"Twilight." Said Celestia from her throne. We walked up to her throne and they all bowed except me which made one of the guards behind us mad.
"You will kneel in front of the princess." He said taking the end of his spear and hitting my leg were it bends. I fell to a knee and spun around grabbing the guards legs making him fall backwards onto the ground I used the momentum of my spin to bring my self to my feet and stand up straight again.
"Who ever trained these guards needs to actually teach them and teach them manners." I said dusting myself off and moved my hair so it covered my left eye and some of my cheek.
"Guards bring Steel hooves to his barracks I wish to speak to him after this." She told some of the guards in the room which they did with a quick it will be done. your highness. "I'm sorry about him I don't know what came over him." She said apologetically.
"It's cool, but there are two guards outside knocked out might want to pick them up too." I said taking off my headband that's tied around my arm.
"Explain to me why there knocked out but first." Celestia said walking down too me and healed my arm and cleaned my headband. "Okay, now explain to me way there are two guards outside unconscious."
"Okay, but give me a second and the name's Max by the way." I turned around to see no one behind me. I moved my hair so I could be on my headband to put on over my left eye after it was fully tightened I turned back around and gave them the explanation.
-One vivid explanation later-
"I see." Celestia turned to a guard that was next to her. "Go get Gleaming Shield."
"Yes, your highness." The guard said and jogged off to go get this Gleaming pers... pony.
"Well Max, do you wish to press charges?" Celestia asked me.
I turned to the six "Any of you hurt?" I asked them. They all shook their heads no. "Okay good, since there alright then no I don't want to press any charges." I said looking back at Celestia.
"Oh? And why not?" Celestia asked out of curiosity.
"None of them are hurt. So no if they are good then so am I" I said.
"Very well." The goddess said. I was about to speak up when I heard a door slamming open and a very annoying voice.
"Auntie!" Prince blueblood yelled Celestia sighed and put on a smile. "This maid put my suits and pants in the same dresser when I've said not to she is unfit for her job. I demand that she is fired." I turned around to see a sight that made my blood run cold. Prince blueblood holding a poor mare by her mane.
Celestia was about to say something till I started walking over to him and as calming as possible said "Let go of her."
"You have no right to talk to me peasant." He scoffed still holding onto the mare by her man.
"You brought this on yourself." I said an put a hand on his shoulder and arm. With one swift movement I dislocated his arm. He screamed dropping to his knees and holding his shoulder. I looked down at the frighted mare "Are you ok Miss?" I asked holding out my hand to help her up which she gladly took and got up when she did she hugged me.
"Thank you." She whispered and pushed herself off me. Celestia nodded for her to leave which the maid did I walked over to blueblood and put his shoulder back in place once I did he ran over to the princess.
"Auntie why didn't you do anything to help me it could have killed me. I demand his head for what his as down!" He yelled Celestia told him to go to his room and that they will talk later. He huffed and walked glaring at and mouthed something I only saw he said 'I will beat you at the Galla in front of everypony.' Is what he mouthed.
"I am sorry that you had to meet blueblood without any warning but did you have to dislocate his arms?" She asked me.
"Nah but it was fun plus just be happy I didn't do anything worse, oh and what's the Galla?" I asked confused at what it's about.
"Well I will have a talk with him about what happened but it probably won't get through to him and it's called The Grand Galloping Galla it's a ball where the nobles with gather, dance and talk about anything of interest to them." She explained
"Okay, so count me out." I said not wanting to be around snobs.
"But you must go darling I can even make you your tux." Rarity said thinking about different designs to make for me.
"Plus your a new species even though you do look like us... Kinda... So you will have to attend so the nobles of Canterlot will be briefed on you and the guards as well." Twilight added I sighed in defeat. That's when Celestia remembered something.
"Say, where is the other one like Max here there was two of them?" Celestia asked looking around. I started too laugh Celestia looked confused then Twilight spoke.
"About that there's two problems." She said looking at the floor. "We forgot him and spike on accident."
"Then I will write a letter to spike to catch the next train ride here." Celestia asked.
There was a knocking at the throne room door and a quick come in from Celestia the doors open showing who I suspected to be Gleaming Shield.
"You called your highness." She said with a bow.
"Yes, I would like for you to show me and my guest here to your training regiment to look over and see how the training is going." She said while pointing a finger at me.
"If you don't mind my asking, why?" She asked confused at the sudden interest in the army but held disgust when she looked at me.
"Well, it has come to my attention that three of your guards attack Max here. One I saw personally and none of them stood a chance so I would like to put them through a test. So if you could lead us there." She said. When I looked over at Gleaming she looked mad I don't know if it was because her guards attacked me or that they lost.
"Right away princess, follow me." She said walking over too the door.
"Now, you six Luna should be in the dinning room in about 10 or so minutes for her breakfest ask her where you all will be staying at while you are her. Max let's not keep Gleaming waiting let's go." Without another word the princess and me was walking over to Gleaming who was patiently waiting for us to get over to her while the six other ponies were going the opposite direction to what I suppose is the dinning room was. We started walking down the hall well let's see how good their military really is.
