Where No Man Has Gone Before

I worked out the problem with food and ammo, Xavior can just fabricate them. It's not as good as the real deal, but it will do. I am currently on my way to the dining hall to meet with everyone else. Oh and me and Xavior planned a little something for Blueblood. Hehehe... Anyways I was at the doors of the dining hall, Xavior cramped in right behind me. I push open the doors to see a humongous table that looked like it could serve at least 50 peo-er-ponies at it. Cadance and Celestia were sitting at one end of the table, the latter giving me a beaming smile, and at the other end was Blueblood. I grin under my helmet and choose to sit in the middle with Xavior.

Cadance and Celestia were both sad that I wouldn't sit next to them, so they came over to me in the middle of the table. Though Cadance would rather be as far away from Blueblood as possible, she knew he wouldn't dare verbally assault her while I was in the room. Blueblood on the other hand had different plans.

"So, why does this peasant have the audacity to be in the dining hall?" He sneered at me, who was going to put his plan into action soon.

"I am no mere peasant, I am a soldier, a man. It's a step up from whatever you are." I quip back.

"I am a Prince! You are just a lowlife who spends his time with a nobody." He jeers at Cadance and I.

"On the contrary, he has far more experience than you and has a far better prowess than what i've analysed about you." Xavior cuts in.

"Are you calling me an idiot?!" Blueblood screamed while slamming his fists onto the table.

"No, im calling you deficient." Blueblood lost his cool and shot a spell at the titan, which was deflected by the shields. Xavior ignored this and carried on talking with a stunned Cadance. "How did today go for you, mistress Cadance?" He said while a red faced Blueblood shot spell after spell at Xavior.

Cadance blushed at being called mistress. "I-it went alright I guess, nobody really asks me about that except auntie." She smiled at Celestia, who smiled back. "So, do you think anything else from your universe will come by accident?"

"I hope not, but in the case that it does happen, I need to depart immediately to retrieve it before anyone else touches it. God knows what will happen if an indigenous lifeform gets their hands on a rifle." (God might do it for the lols) "I hope understand my plight, if anyone gets their hands on that technology, it would mean another frontier war." The princesses looked sad, but nodded in understanding. "Good. Now, how goes today with you Celestia?" I ask.

"Oh, the nobles were off the charts today about "the mysterious object that fell through the sky", it was honestly a nightmare." She groaned while a newspaper was levitated over to me in the grasp of golden magic. Sure enough, my titan was falling from the sky on fire on the front page. I feel guilty for putting her through this, but before I could say anything about it, she cuts me off. "There is no need for you to make it up to me, it will be better if you stayed away from the nobles for right now." I nod in acknowledgement. Celestia just noticed that I wasn't eating anything. "Do you need any food, Jason?" She asks with general concern.

"No, I'm just waiting to eat my meal away from herbivores." I warn.

"Oh, I see." She says with a slight grimace. Cadance didn't mind, but she still was not a fan of someone killing to survive. I then turn my attention back to the panting Blueblood.

"Had enough, asshole?" I hiss at him.

"I will...never submit...to you animals!" He says between breaths. That was all I needed to hear.

"Xavior, I think I would like dinner. A nice well done steak with some jerky." I ask my partner in crime, who created authentic meat from his 3D printer. I grab it and start eating it by hand, purposefully making it look grotesque to a certain pony. I tear into the steak with my teeth and hum in pleasure as the amazing taste of meat comes to me. "Hey Blueblood, your looking a little green over there buddy." I call out to him. As soon as I pull out a bone, he fainted and I started laughing my ass off.

"Mission success." Xavior stated with a hint of amusement in his voice.

"You're goddamn right! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" I say before bursting into more fits of laughter. After I had calmed down, I told Celestia that I could eat both meat and plants, but meat is my source of protein.

"I suppose it's understandable." She says nervously.

"By the way, when can I be expected tomorrow?" I ask curiously.

"Oh, you can at nine o'clock in the morning after ive freshened up." Cadance informed. Good, that plays well with my schedule.

"Well, I think I'll head off to bed now, goodnight." I called out before climbing into Xavior and falling asleep.

"Are you sure he can sleep in here?" Cadance asks Celestia who shrugged in response.

"Pilot...Pilot...Pilot..." I hear Xavior calling me, waking me up. I groan as you rise into a more comfortable position, that's when I notice Xavior using his sensor darts....and there were pings.

"What's the situation, Xavior?" I ask, confused as to why there were pings near Cadances bedroom. I grab my rifle and holster my smart pistol, then hop out of Xavior.

"Unknown bird contacts converging on Cadances position stealthily. Recommend caution with confrontations." He stated. I continue down the hallways with my smart pistol out in the sideways grip in front of me until I heard voices from around the corner.

"Remember, ~~no russian~~ we are here for the stupid Cadance girl, don't fuck up!" A voice said in a harsh whisper. I guess i'm cleared hot. I peek around the corner to see at least four griffons down the hallway, one them just stepped over a guards dead body. Oh hell no!

"Xavior, circle around outside Cadances window. Hurry!" I whisper into my internal helmet mic. I push up in a crouched position and threw a pot onto the floor behind them. When they turned around, I struck. My hud lit up with the tracking painting targets, and once they were locked onto all four heads, I pulled the trigger. A four burst shot erupted from my gun with a loud couple of bangs and they hit their targets with sickening crunches of skulls shattering. I quickly run over their lifeless corpse' and shoot down the hallways to Cadances room, and as soon as I got there the door was open. I holster my pistol and bring out my knife to fasten it upon the end of my rifle.

I silently crept through the open door and into the room and I started hearing muffled screams. I took a glance into the bedroom and I saw Cadance, bound and gagged, being carried by a griffon. I was not going to let them get her, not today. "As soon as I kill the first guy, I want you to light up this room, k?" I whispered into my internal helmet mic. There was no response, but I didn't need one so I lined up a shot on the griffon carrying Cadance. 3...2...1...BANG!! *Muffled scream* THUMP! Cadance fell to the floor with the body of the griffon and as soon as the griffon dropped, the entire room light up with gunfire. Xavior was outside with his chaingun shooting through the walls and killing the griffons. They were being ripped to ribbons, blood was spraying, bone was pulverized, death was feasting. The gunfire finally stopped after 30 seconds straight of it and I quickly got up and ran over to Cadance. She was a quivering mess and was sobbing uncontrollably, I hate seeing pretty girls cry. I tapped her shoulder and she turned her tear stained face to mine and jumped onto me in a giant hug."Sh sh sh, it's ok, i'm here now so you have nothing to worry about. Me and Xavior won't let you go without a fight, you mark my words. They'll have to kill me first." I sooth the sobbing Cadance in my arms. A couple minutes later and she asleep in my arms. I picked her up bridal style and took her out of the completely leveled room towards the throne room. "Xavior, meet us in the throne room, Cadance will be staying as close as possible in this situation." I told my titan through my internal helmet mic.

"Affirmative, the princess should stay close until the thorough investigation is completed. I will be waiting in the throne room for you." Xavior said inside my helmet. I arrive at the throne room and see that Xavior is already in a kneeling position, ready for us. I walk up to him and his hatch opens, allowing us entrance to his inside. I climb in with Cadance slung around my neck and placed her into the seat. Satisfied that she was comfortable, I got back out and climbed on top of Xavior to drift off into sleep...
