The Dark Sentinelby MisterChaptersChapter 1 [Edited]Chapter 2Chapter 4Chapter 5Chapter 6Chapter 3Chapter 1 [Edited]Celestia's P.O.V First Person A soft drawn out sigh escapes my lips as I stack the last of the paper work. It's been a long day of nobles asking for things to be changed or either to boost their nobility. I get off my seat and set off towards the window located to the side of my desk. I open it, a fresh breeze of cool air rushes through my face and mane, making my face tingle from the relaxing breeze. A smile creeps onto my face at how relaxing the day looks, but sadly the day must come to an end. I open the window and fly out. I fly towards a balcony and touch down onto it. I spot Luna coming out onto her balcony on the south side. We lock eyes with each other, nodding our heads to one another. My horn ignites with power, as the golden hue of my magic wraps around the sun, slowly making its descent behind the mountains that sit idly on the earth to the north. I see my sisters moon rising to the sky, stars shining brightly to complete the night sky. My sister has been creating such beautiful night skies ever since she came back from her imprisonment. I shouldn't even be thinking about that anymore. That's the past, and whatever was in the past, stays in the past. I smile towards Luna, but see her focusing on her night sky, as her tongue sticks out in concentration. I giggle into my hoof while I open the doors to my room. As I prepare to go to bed, I hear the guards shouting. I quickly run out of the room, and spot guards running down the hall and surrounding a very tall unicorn, dressed in black clothing and armor. I can't see his face as it's covered by a mask. In his magical grasp is something she's never seen before. He's pointing this long piece of metal to any guard that gets too close to him. I must defuse this situation before it escalates too quickly. I quickly trot to the guards, making them move out the way so I can get to the masked unicorn. Reyes's P.O.V First Person My sights are quickly trained onto what looks to be a very tall mare with a horn and a pair of wings on her back. Her mane flowing in the nonexistent breeze to which confuses the fuck out of me. She seems to be startled by the sudden movement of my rifle I point at her, but quickly straightens herself out and gives off a warming smile that sends a calming effect over my body, which gets me to relax my stance a bit, making me in return lowering my weapon. Seeing this makes her smile grow a little more. I hear hooves stepping up behind me, so on instinct I take out my side arm with this weird telekinesis, and point it at the guard coming up behind me, making her stop in her tracks. "Guards! Give him some space, and lower your weapons!" I hear the tall white pony yell out to the miniature ones. The guards are hesitant to follow the order but comply quickly as she narrows her eyes at them. The guards lower their weapons and move back. As they do this I stay where I am, and slowly start to lower my weapons. I put my side arm back in its holster where my back leg is, and put my rifle on my back and secure it there. I see the tall white pegacorn walking up to me, my muscles tensing every step she takes towards me. She seems to notice this. Stopping halfways from me, she looks upon me with her warming motherly smile. "Relax," she says soothingly, "I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to ask a few questions, if that's alright with you?" She says in a very calming motherly way that calms me. I nod my head slowly. "Good. Now first question, how did you get into my castle?" "I don't know," I answer in a deep gruff voice. This answer seems to unnerve the guards. "Answer to the princess truthfully!" "You think she'd believe that!" "You ain't getting away with breaking and entering the castle!" "Silence!" The tall white mare orders out loudly. The guards quite down an in instant. Celestia homes her eyes on me, narrowing slightly. "How do I know if you're not lying?" She asks with suspicion. "I don't know. I don't know what's going on, or how I'm still alive right now. I should be dead not here," I take a moment to look around and being again, "where ever here is?" I said with a hint of nervousness in my voice. Her eyes scan my mine, almost as if she's debating I'm telling the truth or not. "What do you mean by all that? If you were dead then why are you standing here......in my castle?" I sigh, shaking my head in frustration. "I wish I could answer that question, but I just don't know. I don't even know where the hell I am!" "Calm down. Take a couple seconds to take a breather and relax." She says ever so smoothly. I take in a couple deep breaths, quickly relaxing from all the nervousness and tension building up. "Can you take off your mask for me please?" She asks politely. I nod my head, getting a smile from her as some of the guards relax, knowing they can see my face now. I remove my helmet, which disables the HUD that displays my ammo count on my weapons and other miscellaneous things I have on me. I hear gasps go around me, scanning the surrounding guards. Spotting some mare guards that have deep red blushes on their faces, has for the pegasus guard mares have deep red blushes, and their wings are standing right up. Hmm, I wonder why? I raise a brow. I lock eyes with the tall white mare, who seems to be blushing up a storm as well, but she seems to be struggling to hold her wings down, seeing how as they seem to tremble. How is that even possible with their fur in the way? Why should I be even asking that? I hold my weapons with fucking telekinesis! Seems that anything here that is impossible back on earth is possible here. "Um..." I look around the hall uncomfortably, spotting all the mare guards giving me strange looks, as for the stallion guards giving me glares or looks of jealousy. "So, uh......any more questions?" She shakes her head, refocusing herself as the deep red blush she had early turned in to a soft pink color. "Ahem, well yes I do." Her attitude does whole 360. She's now looking at me with a serious look. "What are those things you carry on your back and leg? Those look to be like weapons of some sort. You're not going to hurt anypony with those, are you?" She takes a step forward with her wings flaring out trying to make herself look big and intimidating, which I just look on with a plain bored look. "Yes, these are weapons. They're very dangerous ones that I can only handle, and no I'm not going to hurt anyone with these. I only use my weapons for military purposes. But if I or someone is in trouble or trying to be harmed in any way, I will use my weapons and use lethal force if necessary." "Military purposes? Are you a soldier of some kind? If you are, what is your rank?" "Yes I'm a soldier, and my rank is Major." This gets surprised looks from some of the guards and from the mare in front of me. "Whoa! Is his rank really Major!" "I hear Major is higher than the rank of Captain." "Na he doesn't look like if he's a Major. He looks more like a Private to me." "Do you have any more questions?" I ask with annoyance from the last comment I heard. "Lots, but it's getting a little late for that now." She turns her attention to her guards and speaks out with authority, "Solar Guards, go to the barracks and rest up for the night and let the Lunar Guards do their shift of patrolling for the night." "Yes princess!" The Solar Guards reply in unison. "Dismissed." The guards start to pile towards the barracks, ready to go to bed, except for the couple of mares that stayed behind. They seem to be staring me with bedroom eyes. I lock my eyes with them, their blushing faces deepening further. I feel very uncomfortable at this point. "Guards, I said you were dismissed. Did you not hear?" The celestial being asks. "Y-Yes princess, we heard you, but what about.....him~?" One of the mares spoke out, letting out a dreamy sigh. "I'll deal with him myself. Now be on your way now." "Yes princess." They mares walk way, but stop as some either wink or blow kisses towards me. Heat rushed up to my face, quickly looking away from the mares to hide my blushing face. I hear them giggling and whispering as the walk away. "Hey, I never got your name? You mind telling me it?" I ask. She looks at me with a dumbfounded look, as her brow is raised. "You don't know who I am?" I shake my head, "Not a clue." "You aren't from around here, are you?" She asks curiously. "Nope," I reply back dully. "Well, I'm Princess Celestia, celestial being of the sun, and co-ruler of Equestria." She says proudly. "Nice to meet you, Celestia. I'm Major Reyes or just Reyes." I say with a smile. A smile that I rarely show. "Reyes? What a strange name you have, no offense by the way." She says rather quickly. "None taken." "Now that we have got acquainted with each other, how about I escort you to a room you'll being sleeping at?" "Wait you're giving me a room?" I ask surprisingly. "Well yes of course. Why wouldn't I?" Her brow raising. "I'm a stranger to you and the guards here Celestia. Don't you find me untrust worthy or a bit paranoid of me?" "To tell you the truth, no I don't." She lets out a motherly smile. "I can tell you won't hurt anypony, and I can't tell that you're scared and confused." My eyes widen. "How did you know that? I was hiding my emotions pretty well." I ask with much shock in my voice. She just smiles and turns around, and starts down the hall. "I just know." Shaking my head I trot up to her, following her to the room I'm being escorted to. *sigh* What a day it has been. After Celestia lead me to my room that I'll be staying at, she told me that in the morning a guard will come around to escort me to the dining hall where we'll be eating breakfast. She also told me she'll be wanting to have more of her questions answered if possible, so me being nice cooperative guys I am, I agreed. The room looks pretty damn nice. A little too classy for my style by still, it's nice. Right now I'm preparing to go to bed cause I'm dead tired. I take off my helmet and place it on the floor next to the bed. Then comes of my armor and clothes, which came off rather easily. It always takes me time to take off my armor; with some of the pieces being connected which kinda hard to take off, but with my telekinesis or magic as Celestia calls it, which I call total BS cause magic ain't real. But at the same time, I do believe there's magic cause of all the weird shit that's been happening to me lately. I lay my rifle against the desk that sits beside my bed, putting my sidearm on top of the desk. Once everything is off, I set everything down on a neat pile by the bed, and walk towards the bathroom to get a quick wash. I enter the bathroom and switch on the light. The bathroom is pretty nice too, all clean and sparkly white, just how I like my bathrooms. I look around, spotting several things in it, like a big ass bath tub with lots of soaps and conditioners, a toilet which looks like a normal one but it's a bit small, and lastly, there's a big ass mirror with a sink right below it. I haven't seen myself since I got here, and I really wanna to know how I look. I say to myself mentally. I walk up to the mirror, spotting my reflection on the mirror, I stare at myself curiously. I have these deep blue colored eyes that mix in with a bit of green in the middle where my pupil is. This isn't even my eye color! My color was a hazel color, but it's all different though I like the eye. Not saying I didn't like my hazel colored eyes. I immediately take notice of my body, my fur being pitch black, my mane being the same color also. Hmm, I look pretty cool. My whole body is ripped with thick muscle, but I don't mean as in thick as in 'body builder thick' where those guys that bulge out with muscle. I spot a mark on my ass which I remember back to the other guards and Celestia that have marks on their asses too. I shift my ass to the mirror, so I can get a better look at it. My mark is my rank of Major and a wolf head howling. I think the wolf represents my lone wolf status. I've noticed that my mane and tail are pretty long. My tail which drags onto the floor and my mane which hangs over my eyes. I'm going to have to ask Celestia if I can get a haircut or a manecut, what ever they call it here. I turn to the shower, turning the nobs to adjust the water to a warm temperature which for warm I mean scorching hot water. I always take baths in really hot water. After the shower, I dry myself off with a towel. Walking out of the bathroom, I quickly trot off to the bed just wanting to get to sleep already. I pull down the covers and jump in. A relaxing sigh escapes my lips, as I relax on the soft bed that seems to be extremely comfortable. I roll to my right to look out the window and see the moon shining down into the room. This place seems more relaxing than being home where I'm always on edge. This place has a calming effect that just makes me want to enjoy life and relax all day. This place feels.....happy. I don't know how to describe what I'm feeling, but by only feeling happy. I find no reason to go back home now that I'm here. I don't even have family back home. I was raised in an orphanage up until I reached the age of 18. I was recruited into the army where I mostly worked alone because I enjoyed it better that way. I had no friends, nor lovers during the time I was in the army. I've always taken my job seriously, never having time to talk with any of the people in the base we were in. Maybe things will change since I'm here now, but first I gotta adjust before I can do anything too rash. At this point, I just want to go to sleep. A yawn escaping my mouth, my eye lids feeling heavy as they close slowly. My mind wandering into the darkness from the awaiting dreams or memories I'll be having. Not noticing the shadow of a certain night princess watching over me as I sleep. Chapter 2Time: 5:00AM Year: Unknow Day of the week: Tuesday Location: Canterlot Military instinct starts kicking in, waking up from a deep wonderful sleep, I open my eyes and groan roll out of bed. I hear a 'clop' sound as I land on four of my legs. Looking I notice I still got hooves. I groan out in annoyance, thinking that it was all a crazy dreaming I was having. Seems like the sun hasn't come up yet, noticing that the moon is still out as I look out a window. I quickly trot towards the bathroom to do my daily morning routine. After I'm done with all that, I walk out the bathroom and out the room, leaving my equipment in the room under the bed so that no one messes with it. But just in case I run into to some trouble; I grab my suppressored Deset Egale 50. Cal, which is a matte black colored. I holster the weapon, and strap the holster to my right leg. I love all my weapons with suppressors. Makes my job a lot more easier when it comes to sneaky missions. My rifle choice is a black matte SCAR-H with gold on some places of the weapon. It has a gold dragon on the left side of the rifle. My attachments are a target finder scope which highlights any enemies in red, a suppressor, an extended clip, and finally a fore grip. I quickly stash everything away and hide well. I'm going to have to ask Celestia if I can have my stuff put somewhere safe, so that no one tampers with my weapons. God knows what'll happen if they get their han-...I mean hooves on them. As I walk out the room, I spot some Lunar guards posted at my door. Ones a midnight blue therstal mare with slitted green eyes. Her helmet blocks away her mane, so I couldn't tell what color it was, but I look at her tail and see the color violet so I amuse her mane is the same color. The stallion therstal's coat color was a light gray color, his yellow eyes being slitted as well. His tail being the color of turquoise. The marks on their asses are pretty hard to tell what they are cause of their armor being in the way, so I give up on trying to figure out what they are. They don't even look my way. They just stand there with a stoic look, not even moving a muscle what so ever. I think I woke up a bit to early. Seeing as the Luanr guards are still out. Oh well then. I'm up already, so might as well explore the castle for a bit. I said mentally. I being down the hall noticing that there's Lunar guards lined against the walls, mostly mares I see and a couple of stallions. They seem to be in the same stoic attitude as the ones that are posted at my room. They all looked tired when I take a closer look at them. But my question is, why are there so many mare than stallions? I just noticed this now. This leaves me with a bunch of questions swimming around my head waiting to be answered. I'll just ask Celestia once she's up. An hour has gone by now after I finished the exploring of walking around the castle. In that past hour the sun has finally popped out from behind the mountains, and now shines brightly down onto the world. The Lunar guards start heading out to the barracks, and the Solar guards start to ready themselves for thier daily morning shift. Some of the therstal mares send me winks and a few lewd looks my way. I still don't know what's up with the mares here, and why there's so many of them? I decide to go back to my room and await the guard that's suppose to escort me to the dining hall. Once I arrive to my room, I stop my trek towards my room as I see a Earth pony Solar mare guard at my door. She's to be waiting at my door rather flustered looking. She also seems kind of nervous, but why? The mare has this white gray-ish coat, her eyes being a beautiful golden color that shine from the sunlight. Her silky tail being the same color of her eyes, but a shade darker. Her cutie mark is a shield crossed with dual swords with a crystal blue heart in the middle. I walk up to her making my presence know to her. Her ears perk up and turns my way, her body going completely rigid and tense, her face having this very deep crimson blush arcoss her muzzle. "Are you suppose to be my escort? If you are, it's nice to meet you. My name is Major Reyes or Reyes. Either one is fine." I introduce myself to her with a smile. The mare just looks at me with a gaping mouth and flushed look. She quickly shakes her head, ridding the deep blush she had leaving only a pink hue on her muzzle. She salutes and beings. "Yes Major, I am your escort to the dining hall, and it's nice to meet you to, sir. My name is Lieutenant Brave Heart, sir." She's says in her saluting form still. "Um....at ease Lieutenant." I say awakardly, not knowing what to say. Which she eases herself down, and looks up at me with wonder all over her eyes. "By the way, just call my Reyes for now on. No sir, or anything like that. Just Reyes, okay?" She nods her head in understanding. "Good. Now let's head out to the dining hall, so I can meet up with the princess." "Yes si-...I mean, yes of course." She corrects herself. "Follow me." She turns around and beings trotting down a hall. I trot next to in order to keep up with her. At times I feel her brush up against my side, or her tail brushing along side mine which I just shrug off, thinking that all this is happening on accident. We've walked down many halls, done many lefts and rights, and now we've arrived to our destination. "Thanks for the escort Lieutenant Brave Heart. I appreciated you showing me the way." I thank her with a warming smile. She smiles with a blush spreading across her muzzle as she looks away, rubbing her foreleg with her hoof. "It was nothing, Reyes. I was glad to help out." She says. I nod my head and open the door to walk into the dining hall, but stop as I hear Brave Heart calling out to me. I turn to look at her, giving her my full attention. "What's up?" I ask. "U-Uh...um....do y-you want to maybe h-hang out after your done m-meeting with the p-princess?" She stutters out as her hooves tap little against each other, her face looking down to the floor. I shrug and let out a grunt. "Sure. Why not? Meet me back out here once I'm done, ok?" Her head springs up with a wide smile, her eyes sparkling as she looks up at me. "Really?! You mean it?!" I nod my head at her. She jumps up at me, wrapping her hooves around my neck, and she nuzzles the side of my face. She quickly gets off me, her blush deepening further on her muzzle. She grins up at me sheepishly. "Hehe, s-sorry about that." I crack a smile and shake my head. These ponies are way to touchy and to damn nice. I like it. "It's ok. Now I gotta go meet up with the princess." We give our goodbyes, and head out our respected ways. As I open the door, I hear a distant 'squee' going off. Shaking my head to rid of the weird noise, and I walk in. I spot Celestia conversating with a couple of ponies at the dining table. Two of them being alicorn mares, but not as tall as Celestia. Then there's the two unicorn mares. I make my presence know, as I walk up the table. The mares at the table pause their conversation and all look up at me. "Ah! Major Reyes, it's good to see that your finally here. I was just introducing you to all the ponies here today." Celestia says with a motherly tone. "Wow Auntie Celestia, you weren't kidding when you said he's tall, and looked incredibly dashing." A mare with pearly white coat and blonde wavy mane gasps out in surprise. A blush forming on her face, fanning herself as she looks at me. "Wait what?! Princess Celestia, his rank is Major?!" Another white coated mare with three different shades of blue on her mane yells out in surprise. Which Celestia replys with a nod of her head. I nod my head to all of them, ignoring the comments I heard from the mares. "It's nice to meet you all. I'm Major Reyes, as you all know already. I'm a high qualified military officer, trained to do infiltration mission, recon missions, and direct action missions. I'm a lone wolf when it comes to my job." I speak out dully, keeping a straight face as I do so. "I'm Princess Luna, night bringer of the moon, and co-ruler of Equestria." The midnight alicorn says with much power in her voice. "I'm Princess BlueBelle, niece of Princess Celestia and of Princess Luna." The blonde mare says, sending a wink my way. "I'm Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, or just Cadence is fine. I'm the ruler of the Crystal Empire." The pink princess says with a bubbly attitude, a sweet smile spreading across her muzzle. The mare with the three different shades of blue on her mane, gets off her seat, and walks up to me. She looks up at me with a glare. "Listen up buddy, I know your not from around here, and don't know who most of us are, but if you so much as cause any trouble or hurt anypony, I'll be sure to make your life a living Tartarus. Got that? I'm Gleaming Shield, Princess of the Crystal Empire, and Captain of the Royal Guard. And that pink pony over there is my wife. Try anything with her, and I'll beat you to a pulp." She says in a deadly whisper. I look down at the mare with a bored look. I let out a grunt, "Hmprh, cute. Your trying to threaten me." I say in my deep gruff voice which everyone in the dining room hears. Gleaming flinches back, a blush forming on her cheeks from the comment. "Look, you can't just assume that I'm going to cause trouble or hurt anyony just because I'm not from around here. Ya I get it that your just doing this because your want to keep your family safe, but you can't just make assumptions about me like that before getting to know me." "He's right Gleaming. Now leave that handsome stallion alone, and come sit back down at the table and stop acting all tough around him. We all know what your trying to do anyways." Cadence says to her wife as the trio of mares start to giggle. Gleaming's face turns into a fury of red, her ears also turning red at the tips. "Shut up! I'm not trying to do anything." I scratch the back of my head in confusion. I really don't know what the hell is going on. Gleaming goes back to her seat next to wife, and sits there with pouting blushing face. "Have a seat sir Reyes, breakfast will be done shortly." Celestia says. I nod my head, and walk up to seat next to BlueBelle, I sit down and adjust myself to get comfortable. "Sir Reyes, is that one of your weapons you were talking about last night? The one strapped to your back leg." Celestia asks with curiosity. I nod my head in reply. "May I see it?" I nod again. I take my suppressored desert eagle with my magic, take out the clip, and cock it back to see if there's any bullets in it. After that's all done, I float it to her. She grabs it in her magic, scanning her eyes sharply over it. She scans every little detail about it with much percision. "What does it do?" Luna chimes in. "It shoots out 50. Cal bullets, at high speeds. It can shoot from short to median range only. The gun has a lot of recoil to it. It's a very powerful weapon." I state simply. "Do you mind showing us a demonstration on how it shoots?" Gleaming is the next to ask, as she seems interested in the weapon. "Not here. I don't want to end up having the bullets ricocheting anywhere, and hurting somepony." Questions start bubbling into my head, remembering the certain question I wanted to ask Celestia. "Hey Princess Celestia, why are there so many mares here? I just noticed this today, so I was curious to ask." "Well the reason to that is because our mare population out dues the stallion population. It's rare when a foal colt is born. There are so many stallions with sperm that only carry only XX chromosomes, and not many carry XY chromosomes. So the population now is 80% mares and 30% stallions." She states simply, not looking up to me as she keeps her eyes trained on my sidearm. "What?!" I scream out uncharacteristically. They all look at me with weird looks from the sudden out burst. They Gleaming is the next to speak. "Jeez Reyes, it's like if you don't know anything that's going on around here." "That's because I don't." I sigh out. Everyone in the room looks at with confusion now, wondering what I mean. "Look, girls, I'm going to be dead honest with you guys. I'm not from here, and I mean literally not from here as in this planet or maybe even dimension. I'm not even suppose be a pony. Back in my world I was a human. I was on a mission on New Years Eve the year being 2025. I was infiltrating a base to collect intel on the enemy, and then destroy their base. But it ended all to shit after I walked into a room armed with nuclear bombs. I set off an alarm after trying to disarm the bombs, and the whole room I was in got swarmed with enemies. I didn't have a way out, so the only way I was going to complete my mission was to sacrifice myself." The mares gasp at this. They seem to be listening intently, taking every word I say. "I blew up the bombs and in return destroyed the base and everyone in it, and now I'm here. Alive. As a pony." I finish off with my normal dull look. I let everyone soak up the information. But before anyone can ask me any questions, the waiters come out with the breakfast. Celestia floats back me my side arm, and I strap it back to my back leg, putting the clip back in and putting the safety on. We all ate quietly. Not one daring to speak up about anything or ask any questions. I know they probably don't believe. I can tell that they think I'm some crazy person making up random shit, so I speak up about it. "You guys don't believe me, do you?" I ask, not looking up from my food. The one to reply back is Luna. "Sir Reyes, do you really think some foolish made up story like that can get you out of the trouble your in for breaking into the castle?" She says rather dangerously calm. "Sorry your highness, but it's not a foolish story." She snorts out rather un-princess like, and continues to her breakfast. "How do you think I have these strange weapons? Weapons that haven't been seen before, or even the gear I have with me. I'm pretty sure all these things look pretty alien to you, right?" "He has a point there Auntie Luna. We've never seen weapons like his before. Maybe he's telling the truth and I can also sense in his heart that he has no ill intentions toward anyone. His heart is just......," she pauses, as she turns to look at me, giving a sad look, "...devoided of any emotions. No love in his heart." The last part she says rather quietly. "I still don't believe him. For all we know he could've made those weapons himself to assassinate us, and we are here just letting him eat at the table like nothing ever happened last night!" She looks to her older sister and continues to voice of all this bullshit. "Sister this is absurd! He's a criminal, and we should have him in the dungeons for breaking into the castle and lying to us by making up false stories." Everyone looks to Celestia; she just has this calm look on her face, as if saying 'everything is alright.' She smiles. That smile, god, it will never get old. She looks toward me with her warming smile, as I look back at her with my dull look. "Sir Reyes...," she pauses for a bit,".....do mind letting me use a spell that lets me go into your mind and see your memories to see if your telling the truth?" I shake my head. "I don't mind at all." I reply back. Everyone being shocked at this. The rest of the mares look at me with very shocked looks, especially Luna. She nods her head back and gets up off her chair and walks up next to me. "I'll be bringing everyone with me to see your memories, if that's fine with you?" "That's fine." Celestia's horn glows with power. My body feeling ehxausted and eyelids feeling heavy. Last thing I see is the that warm smile of Celestia's. Why does she gotta be so damn nice? Damn her and these ponies for showing such affections. They make me feel weird. I quickly fall asleep. Awaiting for the darkness that awaits for me. Chapter 4Time: 6:00AM Location: Canterlot Castle Year: Unknow Mane Six and Stallions P.O.V "You took a picture of him and sent it to the PlayPony Company!!" Twilight shouts out at her friend Rarity. "Oh Twilight, I'm sure he wouldn't mind at all darling. He's a very handsdome stallion and should get recognition for it," Rarity said calmly, as she skims through a fashion magazine. "Hey! Aren't I handsome enough for you?" A hurt Spike looks over to his wife. "Oh Spikey Wikey, don't get so jealous." She scoffs and keeps her eyes on her magazine, "You don't see me getting jealous when you stare at other mares now do I?" Spike doesn't reply back, as he stays quite and doesn't respond back. "I didn't think so." "Hey guys," Soarin pauses to get everyponies attention, "why did we let the kids sleep with the new guy and that guard mare? I mean I trust the guard mare, but the new guy who was a human and got sent here and turned into an alicorn sized pony who's build bigger than Bulk Biceps. The guy is monstrous! What if he does something to ourkids?!" He says with much worry in his voice. "I have to agree with Soarin on this one. The guy is pretty scary when I first saw him." Pokey Pierce is the next to chime in. "Same goes with me," says Flash Sentry. "If he does do anything to our kids, I'll personally scorch him to Tartarus myself." Spike says with much vemon in his voice, as a puff of smoke shoots out his flaring nostrils. "Oh stop it you guys. He's a nice stallion. Did you not see how well he was playing with the children yesterday? And not to mention that he has a child of his own." FlutterShy, the one always to defend the innocent, scolds the stallions for making false assumptions about Reyes. "She's right about that you guys." Golden Delicious says. "Oh quick being such a kiss ass." Shinging Armor says. Golden Delicious just shrugs his shoulders, not really caring. "Well...let's get ready to head out and check on the kids." Rainbow Dash says with impatients. Everypony nods their head, and start to make themselves more presentable. Brave Heart's P.O.V I watch Reyes play with the children, a small smile adorns his face that's just noticeable. Watching him play with the kids is heart warming and rare to see. A stallion rarely plays with their offspring or usually leave the offspring to the mare. The kids aren't even his and he's playing with them like if they were his own. The only child of his is Allison, but they aren't blood related. Seeing Reyes like this makes me to want him more. If he can be a loving father and be a soldier at the same time, oh dear Celestia! I'd take him before anymare can get to him first, and I might succeed in that too. I know he likes me and I like him a lot. So I try to presude him in a forward way, and by that I mean by giving bedroom eyes, batting my eyelashes at him, flashing him my goods y'know, all that stuff mares do to get that one stallion. But nothing seems to work except when I sway my ass at him; It really gets his attention. I guess he's into mares with bubbly butts, and I got that. I'm telling ya, the girls are going be furious when they hear about Reyes eyeing me up. Right now Reyes is getting all the kids ready to head out, but before we can head out, a knock hits at the door. "I got it," I said. I trot to the door and open it. I flinch back at the amount of mares outside in the hallway. There's maids, Solar guard mares, Lunar guard mares, and a couple of noble mares outside the door. My eye twitches, already knowing why they're here. Reyes's P.O.V I walk up to Braver Heart, wondering why she's just standing at the door. I look out the door and my eyes widen only a little, not much where it's noticable. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! THERE HE IS!!! PLEASE MARRY ME YOU HOT HUNK OF A STALLION!!!! A Lunar guard therstal mare shouts out from the back of the crowd. "Him marry you? Ha! He wouldn't date some hussy like you!" A Solar guard mare shouts back to the Lunar guard. A whole outbreak of shouts and arguments echo around the hall. Some mares looking ready to kill one another as they fight over me. I calmly look to Brave Heart, her right eye twitches in irritation at the amount of mares outside the door. I look back at the kids who all seem curious about the whole commotion. The shouting starts to irritate me, my ears flicking from the constant shouts going around. I grab hold of my pistol, spin of the suppressor, and point out a open window. I squeeze the trigger with my magic, and let a round go off. The shot making a loud thunderous noise that echoes around the whole hall, making everyone flinch back and cover their ears from the loud noise. I put my pistol away and gather all the kids onto my back, and I put Allison on my head. They all fit because of my size being much bigger than most ponies, which will help in times when I need to carry things. The kids all squeal in happiness. I have about sixteen kids on my back, jumping around and climbing around me. I walk out the room and away from the crowd. I head towards the dining hall where we'll be having breakfast again, my ears shift back to the sound of hooves. I look over my shoulder and see Brave Heart following, and not the rest of the mares. I turn my head back foward and keep my focus on getting to the hall. I feel Brave Heart lean herself against me, her armor making it umcomfortable for me to walk, but I'll let it be. The reason she's like this is becuase of all the mares that were trying to claim me as their own which was really odd. "Papa Reyes?" I hear Turquoise Blitz call out to me. I look back to pony/dragon hybrid colt, "What's up?" I ask him. "Are you going to take us back to our parents?" With that question asked, the rest of the kids on my back look up at me with sad pouty looks. "Your taking us back?! But I wanted to hang out with you more, Papa Reyes! Your so much cooler and nicer than my dad and mom!" Prism Bolt whines out. "Yeah!" The rest of the kids agree with their pegasus midnight blue friend. Papa Reyes is a nick name Anthea came up for me, and the other kids started calling me that. At one point I told them to only call me Reyes, but they insisted on calling me Papa Reyes, so I let it slide. Allison didn't mind all, she seemed rather happy about it. The reason to me is unknown. "I'm taking you guys to the dining hall, so you all can have breakfast. Your parents are all going to be there, and they're going to want to see you." I simply state. Whines and groans echo around the hall which I ignore and keep heading to my destination. A giggle comes from my side, as I look down and see Brave Heart smiling up at me. A smile tugs at my lips as I look at the mare. I gotta say that she sure is something. She seems like an ok mare to me, but she's a bit to clingy to me and she acts like if we're already together. I mentally sigh to myself, and contiune on to the dinging hall with the kids who play on my back and my daughter who plays with my mane and ears. We arrive to the dining hall where the stallions, mares, and the princesses await us. I let the kids hop off my back, but they all stay huddled close to me. The stallions see this and couple of them send glares my way while the mares just coo cutely the colts and fillies. Allison slides down my head and onto my back, then jumps off. Brave Heart leaves the room, but not until she gives me a quick nuzzle to my chest and leaves the room with a happy smile. "Well it is seems that you have a certain guard mare that has a crush on you, sir Reyes," Celestia says with a bit jealousy in her voice that goes unnoticed by the ponies in the room, but me, Luna, and Cadence seem to catch that, but we don't call her out on it. I sigh and rub the side of my head with a hoof, "Not just one mare, but many," I said. "Pffft, ya right," Soarin says with a snort. "It's true dad! There were a lot guard mares fighting over Papa Reyes. They all wanted to marry him," Prism Bolt says. "Yup. It was weird though, but they all wanted him! It's because he's a super duper cool papa!" Cotton Candy exclaims happily, as she hops up to chest and nuzzles into my fluff. The patch of fluffy hair on my chest is odd. I've only seen a couple of ponies around with the tuff of hair on their chest's. I'll ask either of the princesses about this later. All the kids seem to be hugging me. For what reason you may ask? I don't know. But the stallions are all glaring at me with fire in their eyes, especially Spike. Spike gets off his seat, and walks up to me and the kids. His nostrils flare out, as smoke shoots out. He stops infront me, his eyes narrowing in slits,"Kids, go to the table," he says without batting them an eye. The kids don't object, as they scamper to their mothers who await them, but Anthea and Allison stay. Spike looks at both of them with soft glare to not scare them much. "Both of you need to go the table. Now," he said. I get right into his face, my glaring eyes matching his own. The rest of the stallions get off their seats at the sight of this, and rush up. "Who are you to command my daughter around? And if Anthea doesn't want to go then she doesn't have to. Ya get?" I push him back to the stallions. Spike was about to lunge, but the stallions stop him from getting any closer to me. Anthea hides behind my front leg and Allison does the same. The dragon struggles for bit, but calms himself down after of few minutes. The stallions leg go of their friend. "Why are they calling you papa?" Spike asks calmly, but still has his narrowing eyes set on me. Before I can respond back, Anthea interruptes me. "It's b-because I-I started t-to call him p-papa," she says rather quietly, but everyone can hear well anyways. She keeps herself hidden behind my leg. I see Turquoise Blitz and Clarity walk up to their with a smile. Clarity is the one to speak up first. "Daddy calm down. It's only a nickname for him. Plus he was really nice to us, and was taking care of us the whole time," she says with a giggle. The turquoise colored hybrid colt nods his. This calms Spike and the rest of the stallions. Spike sighs and rubs the back of his neck with his claw. "Shoot. Now I feel bad for assuming wrong about you. I thought you were doing something to our kids," he says with guilt. Fluttershy floats over to me, she has a warm smile shinging to me. She look toward he daughter her shyly hides behind my leg. "Anthea, did you like Mr. Reyes taking of you?" She said motherly. Her soft sounding like if angels blessed with the such a beautiful sounding voice. Anthea wraps her tiny hooves around my leg, and nuzzles her face into my leg. A smile and a tiny blush speard across her as she hides her face. "Mmhm," she mumbles out. She looks out from behind my hoof, and look up at her mother. "Mommy?" "Yes sweetie?" "Can Mr. Reyes be my daddy?" She asks innocently. I raise an eyebrow as I look at Anthea and then to Fluttershy. She floats down to the ground, the warm smile never leaving her muzzle. Fluttershy notices my confusion so she speaks up. What she tells makes my relax a little, knowing that one of the stallions is going to attack for their duaghter wanting a new dad. "I adopted Anthea when she was about 4 years old," she said with a sad smile. I look down at the little filly with a soft look,"So......your an orphan too?" I say softly. Her ears perk up, and she looks up at me with her blind light aqua eyes. A little girl, who can't see, and left at the orphanage. This infuriates me to no end. I'll find who ever her parents are and teach them a lesson to not leave their children alone. Her soft voice speaks out to me, calming my anger from how soft it is. "You were an orphan too?" She asks curiously. I nod my head, and look to Allison. "So was Allison, but I saved her and took her in as my daughter, and I'm glad I did. She's made a great impact on my life, my life being much brighter ever since I found her," I said with much my care into voice. Allison smiles up at me and hugs my other leg tightly, making me give a off a smile of my own. I hear sniffles go around the table, the mares all crying at the soft and touchy moment. Some of the stallions seem to be in the same state, while the other hold out strong. I look to Fluttershy, small tears sliding down her soft butterscotch cheeks, then I look down to Anthea who's eyes stay glued up at mine. Her sparkling, awaiting for my answer. I let out a sigh, I lay myself down so I can eye leave with her. "Listen kiddo, I don't know if your mom is ok with this. I mean we aren't even a couple," I said. "So then be a couple so you can be my daddy!" She exclaims. "It isn't that easy ki-.." Fluttershy interruptes me mid-sentence. "W-Well...., we c-can try t-to be." She then hides behind her long pink mane, a blush flaring up over her muzzle. "I mean if you want to," she said softly. I'm in a state of shock right now. Everything is going to fast for me at the moment. Fluttershy beings again, "You're a very nice stallion, and well.....," her hoof traces circle around the marble floor,"...your very handsome," she mumbles out the last part rather quietly, but I pick up what she says. I don't know what to say. Everything is happening so quick. Me coming here to Equestria, becoming a pony, finding my daughter here, mares wanting to marry me, Brave Heart claiming me as hers already, and then I got Fluttershy who wants to try and date me and her daughter who wants me to be her dad. My mind doesn't know how to comprehend everything at the moment, so what usually happens to me I get into a state like that, I stay locked in one place and stare of into nothing. Anthea tilts her head to the side cutely, as she reaches up to my muzzle and pokes me. She lets out a giggle and looks toward her mother. "Mommy, I think you broke him," she lets another giggle as she nuzzles herself into my fluffy chest of black fur. Allison starts to get jealous of Anthea hogging me, so she scoots on up against Anthea and nuzzles herself against my chest just like Anthea. All mares 'aww' at the cute affection of the two little fillies, but then the other kids start to get the same pouty jealous looks that Allison had and start to complain and want to join in on the cuddling. This gets me of my broken state as I see all the kids running to me. "Hey you guys! I want to snuggle with Papa Reyes too!" Clarity yells out. "Yeah! I wanna cuddle too!" Turquoise Blitz says. "Us too!" The rest of the kids say excitedly. I got about fourteen kids running or flying straight at me with no intentions of stopping. Two them not being here cause they're sleeping, and that's Nidra and Flurry Heart. All the kids reach me and all pile around me. Some laying on me, or others nuzzling into my fur. I let a small smile tug at my lips, as all the kids lay around me. I hear grunts of struggle coming my way, so I look up at the struggling culprit. It's Starburst trying trying to keep her blance from her over grown wings that weigh her down. "Need help there kiddo?" I ask. "No," she grunts as she takes a couple steps toward me," I got this." She takes couples a couple more steps, but soon her struggling small legs collapse on her and she take down. Her eyes start to tear up, her lower trembling as she sniffles a little. Twilight and Flash were about to get to cheer up their daughter, but I get to it first. I encase the sniffling filly in my magic, and float her over to me. I put her with Allison and Anthea. She hides her face in my chest to not let any of her friends see her cry. I softly a hoof on her head, and softly stroke her mane . "Cheer up kiddo. Don't let your wings be bringing down like this," I said. "I can't cheer up if my wings are the cause of all this. I can barely walk, and I can't even use my wings because they're to big," she says quietly, as she sniffles a bit. I look down at her with sympathy, wanting to do something for her, but what. Then an idea comes to my head, so I look towards the parents of Starburst. "Is it alright with you two if I train her to built more muscle in her legs to balance herself better with her wings?" Flash Sentry was about to say no when Twilight spoke out first. "Is this training going to be hurting her in any way?" She asks with a serious look. I shake my head. "Besides being sore that's about it," I calmly say. Twilight gives me a hard look but I don't flatter from it. Cadence steps in, she puts a hoof on Twilight to which she looks to her sister-in-law. Cadence has a smile that says 'Everything is going to be alright.' "He means it Twilight. I checked in on him and sensed that he was telling the truth," she says. "Eeyup. He's telling' the truth Twi," Applejack speaks out. Twilight then looks to me, her seriousness never flattering. "Very well then, I'll let you train my daughter but," she pauses, her wings flare out, and magic pluses out," if you hurt my daughter.....I'll end you in a heart beat." She says with much venom that'll kill a man. Everypony reels back at the sudden threat made by Twilight. It seems they've never seen this side of her before, and are just experiencing this just now. No one knows what to say as me and Twilight stare each other down. The princesses are taking this pretty well, but the rest of the mares and stallions are shocked from this side of Twlight. The kids are frightened, so they all hide behind me. I get up, my aura showing how serious I am from that sudden threat she made and Allison seems to sense this from me. So she speaks up before I can say anything. "Twilight, when my dad says something he means it. I've been with him since I was an orpange, and he's never hurt. The things he's done was feed me and take care of me. He's like the best dad ever!" She says happily. Twilight sighs and nods her head, but before Twilight can say anything else, Flash Sentry calls out to me. "Hey Reyes?" "What is it?" I ask him. "I want to challenge you to a fight," he says as he walks up to me. I give him my usual bored look and being,"For what purpose?" "To see if you're enough to train my daughter." All the guys look at him like if he's crazy. "Dude he's out of your league! He's a major and you're a lieutenant. He has more experience than you," Soarin says. "He's even bigger than you! The guy will crush you!" Poke Pierce says. "I say go for-...." before Spike can finish that sentence I interrupt him. "I don't have show that I'm worth enough to train your daughter. It'd be pointless if we fight," I said dully. "What? You to chicken to fight me, Major." The orange coated stallion says with a cocky attitude. One minute he's was guilty about assuming wrong about me, and now he's getting cocky with me. "It's not that I'm chicken," I pause and give him a side look as I narrow my into slits,"it's that I don't want Twilight and Starburst here to hate me for nearly killing you, and I hate people who get cocky with me." Flash Sentry gulps at the sight of my gaze and shrinks back behind Spike. I shake my head and let out a sigh. "I'm sorry for scaring you Flash, but I'm being honest here. I've done training that no other per-....pony has ever lasted in. I've trained in many fighting styles that range to hoof to hoof combat and to using weapons. Chapter 5We just finished eating breakfast, and man I gotta say that the guys are really getting on my nerves. When their kids want to talk or play with me they always send nasty glares my way, but I always counter back with my own which scares them, except for spike. The guy just keeps up with his relentless glare every time they call me Papa Reyes. It's not my fault that I'm a kid magnet, and that kids always enjoying playing with me. Well the kids back at home never really played with me, only Allison was the one I played with and took care of. I don't know. I don't know why the kids like me so much. I mean, I know I take care of them and I'm always nice to them, but they can't possible see as a father figure so quickly, can they? Or maybe they look up to me as an uncle of some sort? I don't know, things have been weird since I got here, even weirder with all the mares trying to claim me as theirs. Then I got Brave Heart and Fluttershy. They're both nice and I Iike them both, but it's going to fast and they're ponies! I use to be a human, a human who only got with another human of the opposite sex. Though I never really had a relationship with any girl except for that one girl in base I was in with. But she doesn't count as a girl I've been with. So I'm pretty much lost here, and new to everything around me. I should probably read some books and get in tune with today's society. So that's what I did. I went to a library right after breakfast, and read quite a few books. I read books on magic, history, the creatures that live here, and a book about the Elements of Harmony. The book of the elements really caught my attention. The first few pages were about how the emelents work and how they reformed the bad to good. Then there was a part in the book that caught my interest. It was the girls who are the new element wielders. Twilight being element Magic, Rarity being the element of Generosity, Rainbow dash being the element of Loyalty, Fluttershy being the element of Kindness, Applejack being the element of honesty, and Pinkie Pie being the element of Laughter. Then in the book it talks about how they saved Equestria countless of times with the Elements of Harmony and etc. Once I was done reading that book, I continued on reading the book about magic. It was an interesting book, I tried a few of the spells in the book and I got them done pretty well, but it was only the simple ones. After I finished with the simple ones I went on to the much more complicated ones. The difficult ones were about using magic for offense type and defense. There was one about adding more hit power to your hooves, which I found quite useful, but I broke the wall in the library when I tested the spell out and I got kicked out. Luckyly I had hid the book away with me so I can study more of the spells. They'd become useful if I run out of fire power. But then, I saw a spell that can duplicate things! That means I can dulicate my ammo. I sigh out as I close the book with my magic and suspend it in the air as I walk back to my room. The kids aren't with me at the moment, that includes Allison. She wanted to play with the rest of the kids, so they went out to the playground out in Canterlot with the stallions and the mane six. I arrive at my room, close the door, and let out another sigh. As I look up, I instantly lock up at the sight before me. A blush starts to form on my muzzle from the scenery before me. Eight mares in total, all sporting lingerie, and they are all posed in sexy positions on my bed. Four being therstals and the other four regular ponies. "Hey there cutie. We've been waiting for you to arrive~," one of the therstal mares said. They all get off the bed, and trot on over to me. They're hindquarters saying in a hypnotizing way. They huddle up against me, their soft plushie bodies rubbing against me as their hooves travel around my body with expertise. My heart starts pumping in an abnormal way, as I feel a sudden feeling I've felt before and I don't want this feeling to ascend. "Hey whoa now ladies, getting a little to touchy aren't we?" At the comment I said, the mares seemed to get even closer to me and they start to move their hooves somewhere down south. My eyes widen, my body heats up, and the feeling I get is rising up quicker then I want it to. The door opens and in comes in Brave Heart to save my life. "Hey Reyes, Im baaaaa-......uh?" Brave Heart stands at the door, her armor still on, and she looks rather scary with that calm look on her face. She shifts her gaze to the mares, I feel them tense up at the look she's giving them. She has this darkened look in her eyes, a smile that looks so eerie, and a dark purple aura surrounds her. "What's going on here, Reyes? Why are you with all these mares?" She says with this calm dead voice. This scares the mares, they're all wrapped around me as they start to shake against me. "Nothing is going on. These mares were just in my room waiting for me," I say with a blush still across my muzzle. Brave Heart flicks her head to the door, indicating to the mares to leave. They all leave without hesitation, as they scamper on out the door. Once they're all gone, the door shuts, and Brave Heart is right at my side with her foreleg wrapped tightly around mine, her body now leaning against mine. "I guess I'm going to have to finish what they've started. Since they got frisky with you, and got their scent all over you by rubbing themselves against you. Now I need to claim you as my own again, so I have to put my scent all over you~," she moans out. "Uh?" I look at her stupidly. She goes to shove me down, but I don't budge. She tries again, but this time with all her body weight pushing into my side. I look down at her as she struggles to push me. "Uh...mmm....move to the bed you big hunk," she says as her face starts to get red from struggling so much. "Now why would I do that," I say with a raised eyebrow. "I just said why! So I can put my scent on you and claim you as mine again." She goes to push me some more, but her hooves slip from under her and falls down. I look down at her with an amused look as she pouts cutely. Her looking like that makes my heart skip a beat, making my heart pump a little as I feel that feeling again that makes me weird. I quickly get it under control as I take a deep breath to calm myself. I hear Brave Heart gasp suddenly, so I look her way. Her face is flushed heavily as her mouth hangs open. She seems to be looking at something between my back legs. So I look down between my frontlegs, but see nothing. "What are you looking-......ah!? What the hell are you doing?!" I jump slightly as I move away from her. She looks at me with a dazed blushing look, a little bit of drool hangs from her lip as I hear her mumble a couple of words. "They're so.....big~" "Hey! I asked you something you damn perv. Why did you touch my balls?!" I say loudly to get her out of her daze. She gets out of her daze, and looks up at me. She puts her hoof up to her mouth and giggles into it. "Wow stud, I didn't know you were packing some heavy weight there. You sure are bigger than most stallions. A lot bigger if I might say," she says that last part quietly, as she bites her lip seductively. It's like if she doesn't care if she touched my private area. This gets my eye to twitch as a blush forms across my muzzle. I'm a fucking high classed trained soldier! I shouldn't be acting like this, or letting some pervy mare touch my goods. "What's the matter Reyes," she leans her body on me as I feel her hot breath against my neck,"getting a little steamy at my touch~" She says with a lick to my neck. That feeling that I just had comes out of no where and hits me. My eyes narrow and a smile forms itself on my muzzle. I push Brave Heart away gently. "Not today doll, I got somewhere to be. Maybe another time," I say with a much lower voice that makes Brave Heart's face flush. I send a wink her way, and walk out my room. I sigh as I look myself over. God, I hate it when I turn into this. "Well this mode won't last long, so might as well let it ware off." I happen to stumble upon a training room for the guards, and there's quite a lot of guards here. Mostly Solar guards since it is still daylight outside. I look around for something paticular to shoot so I can relieve this sudden mode I'm in. By the way, the mode I'm in right now is something I haven't named yet, but let's just call it Super Mode for now. It's a trait which causes my body to activate thirty times more neural transmitters than the average person or pony, which makes the function of my central nervous system, namely the cerebrum, cerebellum, and spinal cord to accelerate dramatically when I'm sexually excited. As a result, in Super Mode, logical thinking, judgment and reflexes all rise exponentially. I enter a temporary mode, like a transformation. It also permits me to develop a sixth sense. Also, when I use my pistol, it brings out my full potential in using it when I'm in Super Mode, or any other weapon I use. Now I just gotta find some targets to shoot so I can rid of this. Just as I was about to head to the target dummies, I get stopped by a tap to my right shoulder. I look to pony that tapped my shoulder, and see four mares in Solar guard armor. "So you're the one everymare is talking about, hmm," she says with a snarky attitude. I frown at her attitude towards me and it's not settling well with me, but her attitude continues on. "Hmph, you don't look much. Ponies been saying that your rank is major, but I say that's a whole load of bull-......hey! Where you are going?!" I walk past her and continue on. I can't listen to her long because of my Super Mode. If I let my anger get the best of me, it'll be the end for that chick. But she keeps on following me and pestering me. Even the mares with her are following me, for what reason, I really don't know. "Hey I'm talking to you! Are you even listening to me?" A small pegasus mare flies in front me, which gets me to stop. She looks at me with baby blue dull bored eyes that look just like mine right now. This actually surprises me a little, not knowing that there was pony that can hold such dull eyes such as myself. "Get out of my way," I say dully. "Not a chance," she says equally the same. We stare each other down without unblinking bored eyes, neither of us taking a chance of looking away. "Good work Tohka, you got him to stop," the mare with the snarky attitude says. Tohka? What an odd name for a pony. "Now as I was saying," the snarky mare continues but I choose to ignore. "Tohka uh? A bit of a off name, wouldn't you say?" "Like if you have room to talk. Reyes doesn't seem like a pony name to me." "Touché." We continue our stare down as the snarky mare continues with whatever nonsense she's talking about. The two other mares watch on with amusement. Before I can say anything to this Tohka person, a couple of stallion guards come up the mares and me. Well they're targeting me cause their angered looks are straight to me. I already know why though, so this is going to be just wonderful for me. I look away from Tohka, and send my bored gaze to the stallions. Before they can say anything I jump in first. "I am in no mood to hear any of your complaining about me getting all the mares," I say lowly, as I set my gaze on them. They freeze up on the spot, as I walk up to them and look down upon them, my shadow covering them all as the frighten stallions huddle up to each other. "Now leave before you piss me off." The stallions nod their heads quickly, and scramble away. I sigh and shake my head. I turn back to the mares and nod my head to them. I walk away and head to the target training area. As I walk to the area, I hear someone walking behind me, so I stop and look over my shoulder. "Tohka, why are you following me?" "Because you're interesting." I wait for a little for her to continue on, but she doesn't. "That's it? Because I'm interesting." "Mhmm," she nods her head. "Are you sure that's the real reason why you're following me?" I ask curiously. She shakes her head, and looks up at me as she gets a little closer to me. She reaches up with a hoof and draws circle patterns on my chest fluff. Her face holds no emotion, which makes me give her a weird look. I was going to ask what she was doing, but what says next halts my question. "I want you to kiss me," she says bluntly. At this point my Super Mode just drops completely from the sudden bluntness of her command. The whole guards in the room stop what they are doing and our way. I don't mind the looks cause I always got them back home. Then they start to whisper to each other and I happen to hear some of their whispers. "Is she serious? She can't be serious that the hot hunk of a Major is going to kiss her." "She's so weird." "Did she just tell the Major to kiss her? What a freak." My ears and tail flick in anger at the comments shooting towards this mare. I hear sniffles coming from the mare, her head is shifted down, as he bangs cover her glistening eyes. It looks like she's about to spring up and fly away, but I catch in time before she can do anything. I wrap Tohka in my magic, and lift her onto my back. Once she's on my back she wraps her hooves around my neck and hides her face. I turn and walk away, not giving a look to anyone, but I can tell they're shocked. As I was about to leave, I stop and turn to look at all the guards in the room. My eyes turn into slits, my voice goes lower than normal, and a black aura of magic surrounds me. "You all should be ashamed for bullying your own fellow guard. I'll be sure to tell the princess about your behavior," I say, but before I can walk out, I look over and give them a side look. "If I ever hear any of you bullying anypony," I flex out my magic to back up my words,"I'll be sure to have a one on one talk with you." All the guards pale at my words, and how scary I look as some faint. I walk out the room, and let out a tiring sigh. "Hey Tohka?" She doesn't respond. I understand why she's not responding, so l'll let her be. I walk down some halls, I do some lefts and rights, and I arrive to my room. I open the door and see Brave Heart still in my room. She seems to be looking for something. "Brave Heart, what are you doing?" "Eeeeep," she squeals in fright, as she jumps up and turns to look at me. She puts a hoof to her chest as she takes deep breaths. "Oh Celestia, it's just you Reyes. Well as for what I was doin-...." A little sob squeaks out from the mare on my back, her hooves wrapping a little tighter around my neck, but to a point where she's choking me. A vein forms onto Brave Hearts head as she sees the mare on my back. A sadistic smile forms on her face. "Reyes....why is there is mare with you?" She says with a twitchy eye. I'm not in the mood for this right now. I let out an annoyed grunt and walk out the room, leaving the fuming mare to herself. I walk aimlessly down a hall, wondering what to tell this mare. I feel her moving around on my back, her hooves unwrap themselves from my neck and wrap around my chest. Her back legs wrap around my barrel, as she's done doing that, she nuzzles her face into my back and lets out a content sigh. "You feeling any better?" I ask without looking over my shoulder. "Mhmm," she replies. I pause for a little and see if she'll continue, but she's doesn't. "Not much of a talker, uh?" "Mhmm." Silence. I don't know where I'm walking to. I don't really know where to walk to. Maybe I should find some where quiet, somewhere where it's peaceful. Then it hits me. The garden I found when I was walking around the exploring the castle. That should be a good place to have a conversation, well if we do have a conversation besides 'Mhmm's'. I get to the garden door, and open it to go out. I walk out and see the sun hovering over the mountains, as a cool breeze passes through. The nice cool air cools my body that radiates to much heat for my liking. I walk further into the garden, and later find a nice open spot to lay in the grass. I lay myself down, but Tohka still hangs on. "You planning on getting off?" "No," she says almost child like. I really don't get this mare. I think mares are the same as the women back home. I don't think women will ever be diferent if I would of spawned in another universe. I chuckle lightly. That's why you gotta love them. They're so unique in their own, and so much different. I feel soft from all this now. Why am I even talking about this? My thoughts get interrupted from Tohka getting off me. I look over to her and see her stripping her armor off. I gaze upon her slender but lethal frame that hid itself away under that armor. Her brown mane flow down to her shoulder, as part of her bangs covers her right eye. What makes her look kind of adorble looking is that lone hair sticking from the middle of her head. Her coat is a tanned color, and her cutie mark is a cloud with with waves on top of it and a lightening bolt shooting out of it. It seems like I can't keep my gaze away from her. Her mane shines in the lowering sun making it look glossy. Her eyes shine brightly as the suns rays reflect off of them. She turns my way and notices my staring, she shyly looks away as she rubs her forleg. "Please Major, stop staring. It makes me feel embarrassed," she says softly with a small blush on her face. I shake my head and apologize. I rub the back of my neck as we akwardly look away from each other. "Why did you say to kiss you?" I suddenly ask. Tohka doesn't answer, her gaze still not my way. "Tohka, why did you say to kiss you?" I ask again a bit loud. She still doesn't answer. I starting to get a little annoyed now from her not answering. I stand up and walk up to her. Her now tilted slightly down so her bangs cover her eyes. "Are you going to answer?" Nothing. "Tohka, I'm not going to ask again, why-...." "It's because I like you," she says with softness. I can now see tears sliding down her cheeks and dripping off her chin. She then continues on. "The reason I like you is because I've been watching you, watching you take care of the fillies and colts that hang around you, seeing how you show so much love and care to them makes me want to have the same treatment your giving them. It warms me to no end seeing how you care for those kids that are not even your own. I've wanted to start a family of my own and have a nice stallion who would care for our children just like how you care for those that play with you, but every stallion avoids me like if I got the plague. They avoid me because how I act, and how I'm smaller than most mares here. I-I just don't get." Before she can say anything else, she breaks down into sobs. I don't know what to say, this came out of nowhere that I don't know how to respond. Her sobs keep at it, as she cries out in sadness. Watching this small mare cry her eyes pains my heart. This is strange because only Allison can only have an affect on my feelings, but seeing this mare this way just pains me to no end. I gotta do something before my heart shatters. I sit down in front of the crying mare, and then I wrap my hooves around her small form, and bring her against my body. Her hooves instantly wrap around me, her body quakes, and tears still flow down her cheeks. Her face stuffed into my chest, as muffled sobs escape her mouth. I feel my fur start to matted from her tears, but I don't let that bother me. "You know Tohka, it doesn't really matter if your smaller than other mares, or because of your personality. It all depends on being you and only you. Who cares what other ponies think about you, they're just jealous cause they can't be you. I'm pretty shocked that you don't have a boy-...I mean a coltfriend. You seem like a sweet mare, Tohka." I close my eyes, as I give off a warming smile to her. This gets Tohka to look up at me with a surprised look. "Y-You think....I-I'm sweet," she asks slightly unsure if she heard me right. I nod my head,"I also think your very beautiful." Whoa, where did that come from?! Her eyes widen, a small gasp escapes her lips as a blush forms. Her baby blue eyes lock on with mine. She puts her hooves on my chest, as I crane my neck down to have my muzzle a little closer to hers. "Do you m-mean that?" "I completely mean it." Her face heats up even more as my face inches closer to hers, her ears fold back as the tips glow red. Her eyes close, and she puckers her lips. I inch mine towards hers ever so slowly. My muzzle centimeters away from hers. As I was about to claim her lips a loud voice screams out to me, halting me from kissing Tohka. REYES!!! WHAT IN TARTURUS DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!? Chapter 6I look up to the pony sceaming out to me and see Brave Heart walking up to me with a flame surrounding her. Her teeth are clenched shut in anger as her eyes are narrowed into slits. I start to sweat a little from the fury emitting from Brave Heart. She's so mad that even fire is spewing out from between her teeth. Brave Heart stops a few feet away from me because of Tohka getting up and getting in front on me. Her wings flex out and water starts to form at the tips of her wings. "Back off, he's mine," Brave Heart says through clenched teeth. "Not a chance," Tohka says. Before the girls can do anything rash, I step in between them. I give them an icy glare that disputes Brave Heart's flame and freezes Tohka's wate wielding wings. They both shiver at the glare I send, so they back up and sit down. A headache starts to come around so I stop my glare. I let out a sigh and let myself relax. Since when can Brave Heart emit fire from herself and Tohka wield water on her wings? This place keeps getting more stranger by he minute. I need to read more. I look to Brave Heart, which her gaze seemed to be on me for second but now she faces away to the side as she pouts angerly. "Ok Brave, what's the big deal here? Why are you acting this way?" Brave Heart looks at me with much raw emotion in her eyes. What she says doesn't shock me at all. "Because you were about to kiss that small tiny tramp, and not me. You're mine Reyes I claimed you first!" She she says with a wine, as she stomps her hooves on the group, like a child throwing a tantrum over not getting her favorite toy. "I am not a tramp, and I'll have you know that the major here likes the way I am. Don't you, Major~" She says my rank to me seductively as she rubs up against me, as her tail entwines with mine. Brave Heart presses up against me and wraps a her forleg around mine. She stares at Tohka with fury in her eyes, as both of them stare each other down. "C'mon girls, no more fighting, or do you both want me to get pissed off again?" I say tiredly. Both girls tense up and shake their head side to side. I see that the sun has set now, so might as well head back now. "We should head back and call it a night." I yawn out as I rub my with a hoof to get the tirdness out of it. They both yawn as well, their eyes drooping as they try to stay awake. One minute they we're fighting the next second they're tired. I just don't understand what's going on with these mares. I pick them up both with my magic to fit them on my back. Since Tohka is smaller than Brave Heart they both fit nice and snug on my back. Brave Heart curled up into a ball and Tohka is wrapped around my neck once more. Now I just gotta get these two to the barracks. I got the girls to the barracks, which caused a scene among all the mares that were sleeping in there. I had to flex out my magic to keep them disorientated for a while. I had to be quick about this. I set Brave Heart in a bed, which was empty, so my guess was that it was hers. Now it was Tohkas turn; the girl wouldn't let go. She had a death grip around my neck, and the mares in the barracks were starting to get their senses back, so I ran out and took Tohka with me to my room. So here we are in my room. *sigh* I hope Brave Heart doesn't come in tomorrow in my room and seeing me and Tohka in bed together. She'd really freak about that and she'll start complaining how I didn't bring her here with me. Just what I need in the morning. Next thing you know, a mare comes in my room at night and tries to ravage my body. I slap my face with a hoof for even thinking that. I hope I didn't jinx myself for that. Whatever I'm to tired to even care at the moment I just want a bed to lay on and get some sleep. I jump into bed with Tohka still wrapped around me. Once I hit the pillows I'm out. I lightly stir awake, not fully, to a weird sensation I'm getting in my lower half. It feels good, but odd. I've never felt this before, but it stops as soon as I move a little to adjust myself. Now that the weird feeling is gone I can go back to sleep fully. After a couple minutes pass that same sensation comes back, only feeling a lot better. A light soft gasp wakes me from my slumber, my eyes open groggily at the sound. I look out the balcony window and see it's still dark out. As I was about to turn to look at Tohka a great sudden pleasurable feeling comes from my groin. I shut one of eyes as I grit my teeth in pleasure as a throaty moan echos around the room. I look down to the bed sheet, and I pause as I see that I'm pitching a tent. A massive one at that. I'm shocked beyond anything. Before I can show any other expression, a wet sensation starts to slide up my meat pole. It twitches in pleasurable agony as I groan out. I lift up the covers and my eyes widen with a blush. There's Tohka playing with my dick, as her hooves play with my apple sized balls. I was about to cuss her out, but she puts the tip of my manho- I mean stallionhoof into her mouth, which makes me arch my back at the extreme sensation. My heart beat quickens, as my sexual drive starts to trigger my Super Mode, and that isn't good at all. "T-Tohka...." I call out to her. She looks at me with bedroom eyes as she lightly sucks at the tip of my sword that penetrates her ever so wet mouth that makes my cock jolt. She slides the the tip and slides her tongue up and down my member with skill. "Oh Major, I couldn't help myself. I saw that you were getting a bit excited under the bedsheets, so I wanted to help you relax. I'm glad I chose to, you're so big~" she moans out, as she nuzzles my cock. My mind is telling me no, but my body is telling me yes. I dont know what to do. This sensation feels so damn good that I want her to continue, but at the same time it's wrong cause I don't know her that well. Tohka interrupts my train of thought with a pleasurable lick. "You ready for more, Major~" The sound of her voice brought a song to my head that I use to listen to a lot back home. At the thought of the song, the music player in my armors helmet starts to play itself out of the blue. The song startles Tohka, and stops her licking. I lay flat on my back, panting as I try to cool myself down. "Where's that music coming from?!" She looks around the room to find the source of the music. "M-Music player, turn off." I command. The music slowly dies down and the room is once quite again. I look up at Tohka with mixed emotions, anger, confusion, embarrassment. Yes I'm embarrassed cause I've never done things like this before. "What the hell Tohka? Why are you doing this?" I ask calmly, trying not to show my anger. My body has cooled down a bit and my rage hard on I just had is slowly stringing back into it's sheath. This gets Tohka to pout from seeing my dick shrink. "Well the reason why is because I woke up and saw that you were pitching a big tent. I got excited when I saw it, and decided to relieve the pent up stress you had. Also because I've never seen a stallions private area before." She says bluntly with a small small. At this point I don't even care anymore. I'm just glad Allison wasn't here to see this. "Get out of my room, Tohka, and I mean now." I say tiredly. "No. I'm going to explore your body more and have my way with you before that other mare takes you." I've had it. I pick her up with my magic, take her to the door, open it, and then throw her out. I close the door before she can get back in. BANG BANG "Let me in, Reyes! I want to make love to you!" She shouts through the door. "Go away, Tohka!" BANGBANGBANG I'm getting pissed now, so I flex out my magic and I lower my voice. "I'm going to count to three, and if your not gone by then your going to regret it, do you understand?" I say with my icy tone. Before I can even start counting, she's already gone. I fall face first into the pillow tiredly. These mares are crazy! I don't even know why they like so much to a point where they want to take over my body when I sleep. This is getting out of hand....er hoof I mean. Whatever, I just want to sleep now. So that's what I do. Dream Realm Flash after flash of memories run through my head. Memories I wish I never experienced in my life. Memories I wish I could of avoided, or at least fixed. Then one memory pops up and stays in my mind. The memory of the girl who caused me such heartache. I've gave her so many things, I cared for her, I gave her much love, I took bullets for her, and what does she do after being together for two years? She dumps me for another guy. A guy who I was sort of getting close to as a friend. She was just playing with my feelings just to get close to him. She didn't even care if I was heartbroken, she didn't care if I almost died for her, and she didn't care that I was considering suicide. She just laughed. Laughed at how pitiful I looked. Laughed at how I cried myself to sleep. Laughed at how I tried to get her back in my life. Then at one point she just drove my feelings away. All my emotions vanished because I couldn't handle all these emotions going through me. Everytime we pass by each other in the base she'd mock me and laugh at me, but I didn't care. I wouldn't pay her any attention, like if she wasn't ever there to being with. This is what drove me not to have a relationship with anyone ever again. Everytime a girl would try to get close to me I'd walk away from her or either not pay attention to her. I didn't want the same heartbreaking feelings I had when I was dating her. Her laugh echoes around my head loudly, which in return wakes me up. I suck in a breathe of air, as I lift myself up feeling sweaty all over. My fur matted against my skin from all the sweat dripping off me. I take in steady breaths to calm myself. I put my hooves to my face and run away the sweat sliding down my forehead. "Ah geez, it's been a while since I've thought about her." I get out of the bed and walk to the balcony. I open the doors and get a blast of cool breeze hitting my heated body. Its morning and this breeze feels really good. I sigh in content, as I relax against the railing. "Are you feeling alright, Reyes?" A deep male voice calls out to me. I sigh and shake my head. "No, not really. Just woke from a memory I didn't want to have." "Ah, I see. Was the memory about your ex-girlfriend?" "Ya, it wa-....wait minute," I pause and turn around to look at the pony I'm talking to,"how do-.....uh?" There's no one there. I slap my face with a hoof. "I'm going insane." "What makes you say that?" The voice asks curiously. I look around but I don't see anything. A glint of a white light flashes on my left hoof, so I lift it up to get a better look and the voice comes again, which spooks me a bit. "I see you're surprised, but calm anyways. That's good. Now, my name is The Holy Dragon Emperor, or whatever name you see fit to call me is fine but I'd prefer not to have some odd name. I'm a spirited dragon trapped in a Sacred Gear you have been bestowed ever since you arrived here in this colorful world. The reason I'm within you is because I have chosen you as my next wielder. You have such great power within you, but it seems that you haven't reached that power yet. "The Holy Dragon Emperor? A spirit in a Sacred Gear that's within me? A great power within me?" I stay quite for a while after repeating the things that caught my attention in a questioning manner. "Just what the hell is going on anymore. Not one day can I go without something weird or odd happening to me that can put more weight onto my shoulders.” I let out an irritating sigh at all the things being thrown at me out of the random of this world. Well it seems to me that your having a hard time adjusting. I let you be and let you think over things.” And with that, the dragon inside me goes quite. Again, I let out a side, rubbing my temple with a hoof as a headache starts to arise. The pain comes full force as a guard burst through the door to my room starts sputtering out nonsense that I can’t understand. “Chill out! I can’t understand a god damn thing you’re saying. Relax and tell me what’s going on.” I say with much irritation in my voice. The guard relaxes but not fully, “Sir, please follow me. It’s an emergency. An intruder has suddenly appeared in the castle and is currently being surrounded by guards.” I sigh once more and prepare myself. I put on my armor and I secure everything on. I strap my assault rile to my back and then nod to the guard. He seems curious to all the the things I’m carrying but quickly composed himself and walks out into the hall while me tailinh behind him with the same bored stride and attitude. We arrive to the location of the appearance of the intruder, but I can’t see said intruder so I walk on through the crowd to get to the middle. The guards start making a pathway me, which makes things easier for me because I’m to lazy to even speak to loud. The first that catches my attention is mare that’s in the same armor as me, but not bulky as mine. She has no helmet, so I can see her face fully but can’t recognize who she is. She has long raven black hair and a eyepatch that covers her left eye. Her coat is dull gray color and a few scars that run across her face that noticeable but as noticeable. I stride up to her but quickly stop as she points her ranged weapon at me. She then starts screaming out in what’s sounds to be German. “Relax, I’m not going to hurt you. Please put down the weapon and lets talk.” She hesitates for moment but does as said. She the steps up closer to me and so do the guards. I raise up hoof and stop their advance. “You speak any English?” She nods her head, but something seems to catch her eye that’s on my chest. She then looks up at me with wide eyes. She looks right into my eyes and squints here to focus on mine. I raise a brow wondering what she’s doing and what she’s so surprised about. Her eyes slowly start widening as she stares at me. Tears now forming at the corner of her eyes. “R-Reyes is that y-you?” She says in a shakey thick accent. She slowly takes shakey steps towards me. I narrow my eyes at he and take a closer look at her. The armor she wear is like mine, her rank is private and that thick German accent sounds familiar, but who is she? Then her yellow bright vibrant eye catches my attention quickly. I know this person, I know this person very well and just standing in front of her is making me sick to my stomach. It seems she was in the same situation as me. She died on earth and got transported over here. Just my luck. The sudden feelings I hold quickly drain from me. The slight curiousity I held vanishes away and a bored dead look comes back. The air around the hall gets chilly, sending chills up everyone’s spines. The guards slowly back away from me and the mare. “How did you die, and how did you ge here? Explain quickly or I’ll kill.” I make my sidearm appear in front of the mare, and point to her head. “If you don’t explain quick enough, I will kill you, and you know I will.......Private Amber Schwarz,” I said to her with a icy tone. Author's Note Yooo, heh sorry for not updating the story in a while. I’ve been backed up in all the work, homework, and all the bullshit happening in my life. Not much of an excuse for not updating, uh? Well, sorry if that’s not good enough. Anyways, hope you like this chapter, it’s a bit funky, but eh, oh well. If you don’t like it then don’t complain. Just dislike the story and be on your way. If you do complain then I don’t care because at the moment I give zero fucks. Hope you enjoy this short chapter! Chapter 3Everyone appears in my mind; everyone looks at various locked memories, wondering why they're locked. None of the mares seem to notice me, so I clear my throat to get their attention. They all seemed startled from the sound noise, as it echoes around the black voided room with only precious memeoires locked away. "Sir Reyes, why are these memories of yours locked away?" Cadence is the one to speak up first. I let out a deep sigh, walking up to the memories looking over them with a small smile. "These were my only good memeories I ever had in my entire life. These were the ones that kept me alive and going; The ones that make me not want to just end my life." The mares gasp in unison, flinching back from the comment. "But why would you want to end your life? Isn't it scary to die?" Gleaming is the next to ask. "There's many reasons why I wanted to end my life, like growing up alone in an orphanage, people never wanting to speak to me cause I was weird, and some people that were dear to me either that I had to leave behind or have passed away." I say with a blank look; I look over a certain memory I held very much dearly to me, so I'll be showing this one to them. I tap my hoof on the lock, unlocking the memory as it shines brightly. The dark room shifts around, adjusting into the memory of mine. There's destroyed homes along the streets, some at the brink of falling down, and some barley holding on. It's a stormy day, as water pours down from the clouds, thunder roaring out with ferocity, and lightening flashing with pulses of engry. The mares shield themselves from the rain by surrounding themselves in a bubble of magic. I let the rain hit me, making my mane sag down to my face. I look around and find my memory self, and point quietly towards my human self. The mares look towards the thing I'm pointing at, there eyes widening a bit. "Is that what you use to look like?" Luna says with much shock in her voice. I nod my head. Luna stares at my human self with her jaw hanging down which the other mares look on the same, except for Celestia. My human self walks down the street, keeping his rifle trained on anything that moves. "Sir Reyes, why are there so many houses destroyed?" BlueBelle asks as she turns to look my way. "That's because a war was going on, a war that's been going on for almost 2 years, and its still continuing as I'm here now." I hold up a hoof to stop the incoming questions. "Please, everypony, keep all the questions you have until this is all over." They nod their heads, and look on to the memory. Reye's Memory First Person P.O.V Location: California City: Classified Year: 2020 Time: 7:00PM Current mission: Locate civilians and liquidate any enemy hostiles I scan around with my thermal sensors, looking into each broken down home for any highlighted enemies, but find none. I continue down the street of the homes, and stop adruptly. Four red dots pop up on my HUD; the dots seem to be moving my way from the north, I quickly activate my camoflauge suit, making me more un-seeable by the rain, just as long as I don't move much. I stand still in the middle of the street aiming my weapon down the road. Voices can be heard, but I can't hear them clearly cause of the heavy rain falling down. I enhance the hearing on my helmet to hone on to the voices. "Hey John, what are we suppose to do again once we're done killing all the people that survived here?" A female voice says. "Viranica, how many times do I have to tell you this! We kill the survivors, scavenge for any supplies, and then report back to Ramirõ. Plain and simple, got it?" A gravely voice man speaks out next. "Yeah yeah, I got it." "Lighten up babe, once we're done with all this, how bout you and I go to my place and have a little fun." Another male chimes in. "Pfft, ya right! With what your packing? Ha! Don't make me laugh." "That's all what men want. Sex. It's fucking ridiculous. Freddy, you ain't getting laid, your fucking ugly, and you got a small dick. So stop trying, and move on." A another female chimes in, but this one sounds tomboyish. "Shut the fuck up Victoria! You're just mad cause you can get dick from no guy." The one named Freddy, I assume, yells out. "I can, but I choose not to. At least I can get dick and pussy but you can't get either cause your fucking ugly." Victoria counters back. I block out there voice as their conversation is starting to annoy me. Once they're close enough to me, I walk up to one of the guys, I put my hand over his mouth and plunge my knife into his throat. I let the body drop, alerting the others of their fallen friend. "What the hell!? John! Oh shit, Oh shit! Johns dead!" The girls are the ones to run up to their friend looking him over in panic. I swiftly throw a knife at the other guy, hitting it's target right on his head. He's the next to drop dead onto the floor. "What fuck is going on!?" One of the girls yell out. "Who cares! Im fucking outta of here." The girl with the tomboyish voice yells out in panic and bolts down the street, leaving her friend behind. Before she can get any farther, I snap my sights on to her, and fire off a round into her head. The last girl jumps up, her weapon shaking in her hands, trying to locate me. I come up behind her, cover her mouth with one hand, and the other I'm holding a knife to her throat, making her drop her weapon in fear. I drop my camoflauge; the girls eyes widen in fear at the sight of me. She must know who I am, and what I do. "Your a mercenary, aren't you?" I ask her. She starts mumbling into my hand while shaking her head no, as tears roll down her eyes. "Don't fucking lie to me! Now tell me where your hide out is, or I'll kill you." I say with my usually bored tone at the end. I release my hand from her mouth. She takes in deep breaths, as she starts to shake a little. "If I tell you, y-you won't k-kill me, right? She stutters out. "You tell me and you don't lie about it, then no. I won't kill you." "Go north down this road, and take a right and you'll see a house with only broken windows. Inside the house there's a basement built under ground the house. That's where our hide out is. Now please, let me go already." She squirms in my arms, tightening my grip on her as I hold my knife closer to her thoart, making her stop in fright. "Do you have any civilians there in the hideout?" "Just a little girl we found during our search party. I've told you everything, now let me go!" She slips out of my grasp, and runs down the street I'm suppose to be heading. I let her run bit away from me, but like with the other girl, I home in on her, and press the trigger. A thunderous crack goes off as lightening flashes brightly. I've arrived at the hideout, and killed all the mercenaries. Now all I need is to find that little girl. I walk into a room, and the little girl is laying on a bed curled up into a ball. She's shakes in fear at the sight of me, her eyes widen with fear as tears roll down her cheeks. In a long time I've never felt my heart ache this bad. Just looking at this little girl like this makes my heart ache. The little girl has brown hair that reaches to her back, and wears a jacket, pants, and boots to keep her from getting cold. She looks to be around seven years old. I take of my helmet and lower my weapon to the floor, and I walk up to her. She quickly hides herself under a blanket, and starts whimpering under it. "P-Please mister, d-don't hurt m-me." She says through sobs. My heart breaks from the sound of her voice. I kneel down toward her, and wrap her in a hug. "Shh shh....it's ok sweet heart, I'm not going to hurt you." I tell her in a soft fatherly voice. A voice I didn't even know I had. The little girl latches onto me, tears streaming down my neck as she nuzzles her head under my chin. I sit on the bed, letting her wrap her legs around my my back, her arms wrapped securely around my neck, crying heavily. My heart can't take much more of this, as I let a lone tear slide down my cheek. I cross my legs and rock back and forth, rubbing her back in comfort while cooing and shushing her quietly. This gets her to calm down, as she quickly starts to fall asleep against my chest. Soft breaths hit my neck, telling me she's fallen asleep. I lay her down back on the bed, and I check my watch for the time. It's 9:00Pm. Might as well spend the night here, and head back into the town I found on the way over here. I set up some traps to alert me of any enemies coming to the hideout. Once all that's down I strip of my armor, leaving only the thermal shirt I have on and my combat cargo pants on. I get in the bed, slowly not to disturb the little girl from her sleep. I lay down on the bed and get comfortable, shifting around a bit as I do so. The little girls eyes open slightly, looking up at mine tiredly as dry tears stain her cheeks. She shifts closer to me, nuzzling herself against my chest as she grips my shirt. She quickly falls back to sleep, as little snores escape her mouth. I drape the blanket over us, wrap my arms around the little girl, and secure against my chest. I sigh out. Poor kid. I mentally say. I let sleep take over me and yawn, my mind drifting off into slumber. I let out a groan, feeling my mind and body start to awaken. My eyes drift open to see the little girl draped around me, her head tucked under my chin, as she still sleeps soundly. I move to get up, but the little girl whines and clutches onto my shirt. "Hey kiddo, c'mon wake up." I say softly to her, nudging her a little. "Mm, noo. Five more minutes." She whines cutely and wraps her legs round my back and nuzzles her face into my chest. This gets a small smile on my face. "C'mon kiddo, I have to get you somewhere safe first, and then you can have more sleep." She yawns and rubs her eyes. "Okay." She lets go of me, and I get up and put back on my armor. The little girl seems to watch curiously at this, as she has her head tilted to the side in a cute manner. "So..." I being, "you got a name sweet heart?" She shakes her head. "No." She says shyly. "Do you have parents?" She shakes her head again. Oh wow. She's a lot like me then. An orphan. "Would you like a name?" She nods her head as a smile spreads across her face. "Alright. How about Allison? How does that name sound like to you?" I send a warm smile to her. "I like it, mister." She says happily, smile shining brightly. "Aight cool. Well Allison, my name is Reyes. It's nice to meet you." "It's nice to meet you, too, mister Reyes." I shake my head, "Just call me Reyes kiddo. The mister and sir thing make me sound old, so my name is just fine, alright." I pat her head. She nods her head, her happy smile never seeming to go away. I stand up, put on my helmet on, and check over all my weapons and gear. Once everything is all checked and counted for, my lenses from my helmet glow a deep blue which scares the little girl a bit. "Sorry kiddo, I didn't mean to scare you." I lightly ruffle her hair, making her giggle in the process. She looks up at me, her arms out stretched to me, indicating that she wants to be carried. "Can you carry me?" She asks with a pouty teary look. Just by looking at her, my heart aches with the sudden feeling of cuteness that Allison gives off. She makes a grabbing motion with her hands, her lip quivering, and her eyes ready to spill tears. I can't take it no more. I strap my rifle to my back, and gently pick her up, I cradle her in my left arm. Her legs wrap my torso and her arms wrap around my neck. She giggles cutely. Her giggles are just heart warming to hear. I can already feel in my heart that I'm going to get close to this girl. Even though my mind tells me not to; Not to show any emotion nor feel or I'll end up weak; My heart and mind are in a battle, but right now......I'm siding with my heart because I want my life to change, and I know Allison will be able to do that; To make my life much more brighter than it is now. I'll do everything in my power to keep this girl safe, to make her life better, to see her grow up. But God himself will only know what happens to her or me. Though I already know he won't cause no pain to anyone. He only brings happiness to those who truly are good in the heart, mind, and soul. Though in my heart, mind, and soul, I can feel things won't go as good as I want it to be. If only God himself can change that for me. It's been 2 years since I found Allison. We've been getting very close since those past 2 years. I gotta say that she has changed my life tremendously. She's now nine years old, staying at the base in my room. I've convinced the general to let her stay with me because she didn't want to be left at the sanctuary hideout where she couldn't see me. After I've convinced him, he let her stay there as long as she behaved and not cause any trouble, to which Allison agreed to. Every time I come back from a mission, Allison awaits for me in my room. She always rushes up to me and gives me the biggest and warmest hugs. It always cheers me up seeing her like this when I come back from some stressful missions. At times when I've come back, she always says, "Welcome back daddy! I've missed you so much." She tells me with the biggest smile on her face. Her calling me daddy brings a warm father feeling to my heart, it almost brings me to tears from hearing her calling me that. I've never had a girl to settle down with and have a family with because I was never the social type, so having her telling things that a daughter would brings such joy to me. But I know in my mind that this isn't going to turn out has happy as I want it. My mind tells me this everyday I get off missions and spend my time with Allison, that this won't last long for me, this happiness. But I ignore it and leave it be. Right now I'm heading back to the base, ready to see the bright smiling face of Allison jumping at me with her trade mark warm hugs. Thinking about all this starts to make me impatient, so I start to jog the whole way back. Once I arrive, I spot the guards who are suppose to be guarding the front gates dead on the floor. Blood pouring out from their freshly made bullet wounds. Thinking back to Allison kicks in my instincts on overdrive, running past the dead guards, I run into the base. Bodies of deceased people liter the floor of the base. Men and women shot dead on the floor. I don't know how this happened. How did enemies get into the base so easily into a heavily guarded base? Then it hits me. Those fucking war dogs always had heavy military weapons and gear. There's no signs of the war dogs here. This must of moved out before any reinforcements can arrive. Allison. Allison is on my mind. Dread fills my body from seeing all these dead people. I run past everything, heading to my room with speed that would match a jaguar. I arrive to my room door and kick it open. I quickly rush inside, "Allison! All-..." My yelling stops adruplty, noticing the trail of blood leading up to Allison who lays against a wall, her head slumped down. Her head lifts up slowly, and looks at me with teary eyes. "D-D-Daddy...." she says, as she coughs up blood onto the floor. I rush up to her and lay her on my lap, tears now streaming down my face as I hold her. "It's ok sweet heart, daddy's here." I say softly, stroking her hair softly. My hand trembles as I run my fingers through her hair. "It hurts d-daddy. My s-side h-h-hurts a lot." Tears start to flow freely from her eyes. She looks up at me with eyes that show much pain and fear. I scan her body and spot the bullet wound on the right of her waist. The wound looks deep, so I don't know what to do. Everyone is dead, I'm to far from any other base that's around. I start to weep silently, holding Allison close to me, wanting her to stay and not leave me in this dark lonely war infested world. "I'm s-sorry Allison, I'm so so sorry. Only if I would've gotten h-here sooner I would've saved you." I feel Allsion's hand grip mine. I look down at her with my tearful look, her doing the same as she flashes me her smile. "Don't cry daddy *cough* I don't l-like seeing you this w-way *cough*" she says weakly. Her eyes start to droop a little, her skin being pale from all the blood she's losing, and body shivering as if she were cold. "I'm so tired and cold, d-daddy." She nuzzles her head into my lap tiredly. "It's ok sweet heart. Just go to sleep and you'll warm up. You'll be in a better place, I promise you. I'll be there with you once you wake up, okay?" I softly tell her, my hands going completely numb now. Her eyes close shut and what I hear next shatters my heart. "I love you.....daddy." Her last breath draws out her hand falls off mine, falling limply to floor. The room is quite, no sound, no nothing. All you can hear is the soft breathing of me. My whole world once again nothing but complete darkness. Nothing to bring brightness and love to my heart, nothing to cheer me up after a stressful mission, nothing to tell me.......I love you. Those three words that make me strive to live, to fight, and to keep that person safe from harm. But now look......I couldn't even keep Allison safe. I pull out my pistol, cock it back, and point it to my head. I struggle to press the trigger. I know Allison wouldn't want me to do this, but I want to see her again, I want her to keep giving me those warm hugs she always gave me, I want to hear her giggle every time we play, I want to see her smile that always seems to cheer up my darkest of moods, I want......her to tell me she loves me and to call me her dad. But now I know she can't tell me anything because of those war dogs. I stand up, taking Allison's body with me, I walk out the room, out the base, and into the godforsaken world. It's raining; I walk down a road that's to the south of the base. It's where me and Allison use to go to when it's calm and there's no war commotion going on. Once I arrive, I set Allison's body done onto the ground gently. I look at the river and nod my head, and so then I begin creating a small casket made out of wood. Wrapping the wood together with some metal wire I had on me. Once the casket is done, I start putting all the flowers she liked here from the river. After that's all done I put Allison's body into the casket. I close my eyes, make a quick prayer, and set the casket into the river. I watch as the river slowly takes the casket away, my mind setting a goal to destroy any war dogs I see; no mercy. I don't care if they're man or woman, I slaughter all of them. They took the thing that was precious to me, so I'm going to take they're lifes. I get up, ready my gear, and walk towards the first war dog base marked on my H.U.D. My mind and body are boiling with rage that I can not contain no more. Those S.O.Bs will wish they have never fucked with me and have took Allison away from me. Memory Ended The spell has ended after it shows my memory self storming off with rage. The girls are in tears; they're shocked; they're saddened; they're enraged; they're horrified. All theses emotions are being shown through their eyes. They show all these emotions, but I.....I don't show mine at all. I can't. They only way I was able to do that was Allison. She's the one that opened my heart, and now she's gone. Cadence is the one to speak first, her eyes turning my way. Her eyes are puffy and red from all the tears she's been spilling. "S-Sir Reyes, I-I don't k-know what to s-say, b-but give-......" Cadence gets interrupted by Luna who has banged her hooves on the table. Everyone looks at her way, her eyes souly trained on mine. "Sir Reyes, y-you had a daughter named A-A-Allison, correct?" I nod my head, not knowing what she's getting to. But the next think she says makes my heart skip a beat. "I've met her, in her dreams. She's in Ponyville Orphanage, Sir Reyes. She's alive." She tells softly, a smile she gives off that tells me the truth. I get off my chair and stare at Luna with a pleading look. "Please princess, take me to her. I want to see her! Please, I beg you!" Luna smiles her horn glowing, and in a flash everyone is gone. Location: Ponyville Time: 6:05PM We all appear in Ponyville, ponies in town stop their ativicties after noticing their princesses have arrived. I don't care much about that though, I just want my get Allison. I look around frantically, trying to spot the orphanage. I spot it to the left of me, so I sprint to the building and open the doors. I walk up to a desk where a mare sits. Before she can say anything I interrupt her, "Ma'am, do you have a little girl named Allison?" I ask as calmly as possible. She smiles and nods her head. "Yes we do. Are you looking to-....." She stops midsentce after seeing the princesses pop into the room that I'm in. She quickly bows, not telling me where she is. So fuck it, I rush past her and into the back. I run down a hall that leads to another door. Hearing the sounds of kids in there makes me drive my legs faster to get there. I open the doors with bang. All the kids stop their activities and look up at me either with fright at my or amazement in their sparkling curious eyes. I look around, "Allison! Allison, where are you?!" I start down the rows of bunk beds, waiting to her Allison's voice. "Allison it's me Reyes! Please come out sweet heart!" I look around at all the kids who just stare up at me. My heart skips a beat again. The voice of Allison speaks out from the back. "Daddy! Daddy, is that you?!" I look to the back all the kids, and see someone moving towards me, the kids moving aside so they can let the pony through. A filly pops out from the crowd of fillies and colts, and stops in front of me. Her hair is the same as it is, her coat the is a tan color, and her hazel eyes shine like they always do. She looks up at me, her neck bending back to get a better look at me. The filly walks up to me, her legs shaking as she takes a couple steps towards me. "D-Daddy.....i-is that really y-you?" She says with tears of sliding down her checks. Her eyes glisten with hope. I multiple hoof steps walk into the room, but I don't look to the door. My eyes stay glued onto Allison. I know it's her because of her voice. "Yes. It's me sweet heart." I move my head down towards her, and nuzzle her cheek. Tears start to flow down my cheeks now. "I've missed you so much, Allison." I say with much softness in my voice. Allison wraps her tiny hooves against my head and nuzzles her head against mine. "Daddy it really is you, it really is!" She screams out happily as her high pitch voice cracks a little, making her sound cute. This brings a smile to my face. I wrap my hooves around her, nuzzling and licking her cheek. I don't know why I'm licking her, but it just feels right to do so. "Oh daddy, I've missed you so much. You look so different and your still big and tall!" She giggles, her tears drying away, like if they were never there. I just smile warmly, and hug her against me. I hear sniffles going around. I look around and see every filly and colt, the princesses and some new princess, new ponies I haven't seen before with kids with them, and the mare that was at the desk. They're all looking at me and Allison with tears of their own. One mare with a white clean coat and violet curled mane cries out dramatically on a sofa with her hoof over her eyes. I put Allison on my back, and let her adjust herself to sit comfortably. "Wow! I'm so high up off the ground." She says in excitement as she hugs herself around the neck. "Hey it's Twilight and her friends! Hey guys, come meet my daddy." She waves to the mares and stallions at the door who stand next to the princesses. "Hey kiddo, you know them," I ask. She nods her head happily. "Yup. They always come over to play with us, and always bring their kids with them too." I let out a grunt and return back to my normal self, not wanting them to see my soft side to much. Allison sees and giggles. Instead of them walking up to me, I walk up to them. But I get inturpted with a flash. I blink my eyes and see that we're in a library now. I hear someone clear their thoart, so I look their way. I see five stallions and a dragon giving glares, all them standing in front of the mares and princesses. "You mind explaining who you are?" The dragon says with his wings spread out wide, trying to be intimidate me. My eyes blink slowly as I give him a bored look. "No." I state simply. Then out of no where a pegasus stallion rushed up to with quick speeds, but not quick enough. In flash my instincts kick. I pull of my pistol with my magic, cock the pistol back and point it at the forehead of the pegasus. He's stopped mid-flight, and stares wide eyed at the weapon pointed at his head. "Move another inch and I'll blow your head to bits." I say threateningly to him, but as uausal Allison catches my bluff and scolds me. "Daddy! Stop being so mean, and leave Flash alone, and put that gun away now!" I sigh and put my pistol away. Allison looks to Flash Sentry with a apologetic look. "Sorry Flash, he gets overprotective." "Y-Ya, I c-can see that, but what the heck was that thing that he pointed at me?" He says look looking a little spooked. "That was a weapon from his world." Luna says. "His world? What you mean by that?" A southern stallion asks the Luna. Luna tells the everyone how I ended up here, and what me and Allison use to be. She talks about my memory, and how everything went on in it. A few tears shredded here and there. The stallions and mares relaxing knowing the way I act is because I don't want to lose Allison again. Then she talks about my weapons and how they work and what they do. Some of the stallions seemed interested in my weapons, but were on edge when I showed them my weapon again. This got the girls giggling at how scared they were. Then after that Gleaminh Shield poofs into a stallion; He's been a stallion, but Cadence put a spell on him because he left his daughter Flurry Heart all by herself in the castle not once but twice. The princesses were all treating him like a mare, and even started calling him princess. This got the mares and stallions to laugh up a storm which got Allison to laugh with them as well. Me though, I just kept my dead fish eye look. After all that was done with it, I introduced myself and they introduced themselves. The names I know so far are Princess Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, FlutterShy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Flash Sentry, Golden Delicious, Soarin, Spike, Pokey Pierce, Gleaming Shield who is now Shining Armor, and this crazy mismatched guy who's name is Discord. His voice sounds so familiar from somewhere, but I can't my hoof on it. We all talk for a bit, but as usual I don't say much. I just play with Allison and the rest of the kids of the mares and stallions. They seem to smile at how I'm so caring with the kids. I quickly tell to them buzz off which they just laugh. I'm deep in thought at the moment, something that I'm suppose to do at the castle, but what was it. My thoughts and the ponies conversation gets stop adruplty from the door being kicked opened. Brave Heart stands at the door, no armor, mane sticking out in odd angles and has this crazed look in her eye. She's breathing heavily as she looks around the room. Her eyes snap onto me, her eyes narrmowing as she grits her teeth. She walks up me fuming the whole way. The mares and stallions moving aside, scared of the mare that stomps her way towards me. She stops in front of me, her eyes narrowing into slits. "So......you thought you can just bail on me and not tell me you were coming here, hmm?" She says with her muzzle inches away from mine. A small bit of fear tingles up my spine as I look into her golden soul piercing eyes. "No I didn't bail on you. I had to find my daughter, so I came here to Ponyville and get her." I say trying now to stutter out in fear or try to even show it. This mare might be smaller than me, but fuck, she sure damn is scary. Her eyes widen and see steps back. "You have a d-daughter?" She says with sadness in her voice. I nod my head. This gets her to slump her head down and her ears to fold back. "So that m-means your t-taken already?" She says softly. I raise a brow, "I'm not taken. This is just my adoptive daughter." I state simply. Her head springs back up with a bright smile, and launches herself onto my chest. She nuzzles her face onto my chest fluff and sighs happily. "Then that means your all mine." She says in possessive way, as she grips herself onto my body. I feel my face warming up, so I'll away from everybody so no one can see. But Allison has to be the one to rat me out on my flushed face. "Daddy?! Are you blushing?!?!" She blurts out in a surprised manner. Everyone looks my way, but I don't say anything and keep my head to the side. Brave Heart looks up at me but I don't look at her. Brave Hearts P.O.V I look up at him with sparkling hope in my eyes; Wanting to know if he really likes me. His face is turned the other way so I can't see his blushing face. "Reyes, please look at me." I see his eyes shift my way but he doesn't budge. Then he looks my way entirely, his muzzle flushed in a deep red, as he looks into my eyes. I send a cheeky grin his way knowing that he does like me. "So you do like me, uh? Don't try hiding it cause you blushing gives it away." I say with a giggle. He just sighs, as every mare lets out 'aww's'. I nuzzle into Reyes's fluffy chest, a blush now sneaking into my muzzle. I know he likes me, but he's to ignorant to show it. Oh I can't wait to tell the girls back at the barracks. They'll be jealous of me getting at him first.
Chapter 1 [Edited]Celestia's P.O.V First Person A soft drawn out sigh escapes my lips as I stack the last of the paper work. It's been a long day of nobles asking for things to be changed or either to boost their nobility. I get off my seat and set off towards the window located to the side of my desk. I open it, a fresh breeze of cool air rushes through my face and mane, making my face tingle from the relaxing breeze. A smile creeps onto my face at how relaxing the day looks, but sadly the day must come to an end. I open the window and fly out. I fly towards a balcony and touch down onto it. I spot Luna coming out onto her balcony on the south side. We lock eyes with each other, nodding our heads to one another. My horn ignites with power, as the golden hue of my magic wraps around the sun, slowly making its descent behind the mountains that sit idly on the earth to the north. I see my sisters moon rising to the sky, stars shining brightly to complete the night sky. My sister has been creating such beautiful night skies ever since she came back from her imprisonment. I shouldn't even be thinking about that anymore. That's the past, and whatever was in the past, stays in the past. I smile towards Luna, but see her focusing on her night sky, as her tongue sticks out in concentration. I giggle into my hoof while I open the doors to my room. As I prepare to go to bed, I hear the guards shouting. I quickly run out of the room, and spot guards running down the hall and surrounding a very tall unicorn, dressed in black clothing and armor. I can't see his face as it's covered by a mask. In his magical grasp is something she's never seen before. He's pointing this long piece of metal to any guard that gets too close to him. I must defuse this situation before it escalates too quickly. I quickly trot to the guards, making them move out the way so I can get to the masked unicorn. Reyes's P.O.V First Person My sights are quickly trained onto what looks to be a very tall mare with a horn and a pair of wings on her back. Her mane flowing in the nonexistent breeze to which confuses the fuck out of me. She seems to be startled by the sudden movement of my rifle I point at her, but quickly straightens herself out and gives off a warming smile that sends a calming effect over my body, which gets me to relax my stance a bit, making me in return lowering my weapon. Seeing this makes her smile grow a little more. I hear hooves stepping up behind me, so on instinct I take out my side arm with this weird telekinesis, and point it at the guard coming up behind me, making her stop in her tracks. "Guards! Give him some space, and lower your weapons!" I hear the tall white pony yell out to the miniature ones. The guards are hesitant to follow the order but comply quickly as she narrows her eyes at them. The guards lower their weapons and move back. As they do this I stay where I am, and slowly start to lower my weapons. I put my side arm back in its holster where my back leg is, and put my rifle on my back and secure it there. I see the tall white pegacorn walking up to me, my muscles tensing every step she takes towards me. She seems to notice this. Stopping halfways from me, she looks upon me with her warming motherly smile. "Relax," she says soothingly, "I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to ask a few questions, if that's alright with you?" She says in a very calming motherly way that calms me. I nod my head slowly. "Good. Now first question, how did you get into my castle?" "I don't know," I answer in a deep gruff voice. This answer seems to unnerve the guards. "Answer to the princess truthfully!" "You think she'd believe that!" "You ain't getting away with breaking and entering the castle!" "Silence!" The tall white mare orders out loudly. The guards quite down an in instant. Celestia homes her eyes on me, narrowing slightly. "How do I know if you're not lying?" She asks with suspicion. "I don't know. I don't know what's going on, or how I'm still alive right now. I should be dead not here," I take a moment to look around and being again, "where ever here is?" I said with a hint of nervousness in my voice. Her eyes scan my mine, almost as if she's debating I'm telling the truth or not. "What do you mean by all that? If you were dead then why are you standing here......in my castle?" I sigh, shaking my head in frustration. "I wish I could answer that question, but I just don't know. I don't even know where the hell I am!" "Calm down. Take a couple seconds to take a breather and relax." She says ever so smoothly. I take in a couple deep breaths, quickly relaxing from all the nervousness and tension building up. "Can you take off your mask for me please?" She asks politely. I nod my head, getting a smile from her as some of the guards relax, knowing they can see my face now. I remove my helmet, which disables the HUD that displays my ammo count on my weapons and other miscellaneous things I have on me. I hear gasps go around me, scanning the surrounding guards. Spotting some mare guards that have deep red blushes on their faces, has for the pegasus guard mares have deep red blushes, and their wings are standing right up. Hmm, I wonder why? I raise a brow. I lock eyes with the tall white mare, who seems to be blushing up a storm as well, but she seems to be struggling to hold her wings down, seeing how as they seem to tremble. How is that even possible with their fur in the way? Why should I be even asking that? I hold my weapons with fucking telekinesis! Seems that anything here that is impossible back on earth is possible here. "Um..." I look around the hall uncomfortably, spotting all the mare guards giving me strange looks, as for the stallion guards giving me glares or looks of jealousy. "So, uh......any more questions?" She shakes her head, refocusing herself as the deep red blush she had early turned in to a soft pink color. "Ahem, well yes I do." Her attitude does whole 360. She's now looking at me with a serious look. "What are those things you carry on your back and leg? Those look to be like weapons of some sort. You're not going to hurt anypony with those, are you?" She takes a step forward with her wings flaring out trying to make herself look big and intimidating, which I just look on with a plain bored look. "Yes, these are weapons. They're very dangerous ones that I can only handle, and no I'm not going to hurt anyone with these. I only use my weapons for military purposes. But if I or someone is in trouble or trying to be harmed in any way, I will use my weapons and use lethal force if necessary." "Military purposes? Are you a soldier of some kind? If you are, what is your rank?" "Yes I'm a soldier, and my rank is Major." This gets surprised looks from some of the guards and from the mare in front of me. "Whoa! Is his rank really Major!" "I hear Major is higher than the rank of Captain." "Na he doesn't look like if he's a Major. He looks more like a Private to me." "Do you have any more questions?" I ask with annoyance from the last comment I heard. "Lots, but it's getting a little late for that now." She turns her attention to her guards and speaks out with authority, "Solar Guards, go to the barracks and rest up for the night and let the Lunar Guards do their shift of patrolling for the night." "Yes princess!" The Solar Guards reply in unison. "Dismissed." The guards start to pile towards the barracks, ready to go to bed, except for the couple of mares that stayed behind. They seem to be staring me with bedroom eyes. I lock my eyes with them, their blushing faces deepening further. I feel very uncomfortable at this point. "Guards, I said you were dismissed. Did you not hear?" The celestial being asks. "Y-Yes princess, we heard you, but what about.....him~?" One of the mares spoke out, letting out a dreamy sigh. "I'll deal with him myself. Now be on your way now." "Yes princess." They mares walk way, but stop as some either wink or blow kisses towards me. Heat rushed up to my face, quickly looking away from the mares to hide my blushing face. I hear them giggling and whispering as the walk away. "Hey, I never got your name? You mind telling me it?" I ask. She looks at me with a dumbfounded look, as her brow is raised. "You don't know who I am?" I shake my head, "Not a clue." "You aren't from around here, are you?" She asks curiously. "Nope," I reply back dully. "Well, I'm Princess Celestia, celestial being of the sun, and co-ruler of Equestria." She says proudly. "Nice to meet you, Celestia. I'm Major Reyes or just Reyes." I say with a smile. A smile that I rarely show. "Reyes? What a strange name you have, no offense by the way." She says rather quickly. "None taken." "Now that we have got acquainted with each other, how about I escort you to a room you'll being sleeping at?" "Wait you're giving me a room?" I ask surprisingly. "Well yes of course. Why wouldn't I?" Her brow raising. "I'm a stranger to you and the guards here Celestia. Don't you find me untrust worthy or a bit paranoid of me?" "To tell you the truth, no I don't." She lets out a motherly smile. "I can tell you won't hurt anypony, and I can't tell that you're scared and confused." My eyes widen. "How did you know that? I was hiding my emotions pretty well." I ask with much shock in my voice. She just smiles and turns around, and starts down the hall. "I just know." Shaking my head I trot up to her, following her to the room I'm being escorted to. *sigh* What a day it has been. After Celestia lead me to my room that I'll be staying at, she told me that in the morning a guard will come around to escort me to the dining hall where we'll be eating breakfast. She also told me she'll be wanting to have more of her questions answered if possible, so me being nice cooperative guys I am, I agreed. The room looks pretty damn nice. A little too classy for my style by still, it's nice. Right now I'm preparing to go to bed cause I'm dead tired. I take off my helmet and place it on the floor next to the bed. Then comes of my armor and clothes, which came off rather easily. It always takes me time to take off my armor; with some of the pieces being connected which kinda hard to take off, but with my telekinesis or magic as Celestia calls it, which I call total BS cause magic ain't real. But at the same time, I do believe there's magic cause of all the weird shit that's been happening to me lately. I lay my rifle against the desk that sits beside my bed, putting my sidearm on top of the desk. Once everything is off, I set everything down on a neat pile by the bed, and walk towards the bathroom to get a quick wash. I enter the bathroom and switch on the light. The bathroom is pretty nice too, all clean and sparkly white, just how I like my bathrooms. I look around, spotting several things in it, like a big ass bath tub with lots of soaps and conditioners, a toilet which looks like a normal one but it's a bit small, and lastly, there's a big ass mirror with a sink right below it. I haven't seen myself since I got here, and I really wanna to know how I look. I say to myself mentally. I walk up to the mirror, spotting my reflection on the mirror, I stare at myself curiously. I have these deep blue colored eyes that mix in with a bit of green in the middle where my pupil is. This isn't even my eye color! My color was a hazel color, but it's all different though I like the eye. Not saying I didn't like my hazel colored eyes. I immediately take notice of my body, my fur being pitch black, my mane being the same color also. Hmm, I look pretty cool. My whole body is ripped with thick muscle, but I don't mean as in thick as in 'body builder thick' where those guys that bulge out with muscle. I spot a mark on my ass which I remember back to the other guards and Celestia that have marks on their asses too. I shift my ass to the mirror, so I can get a better look at it. My mark is my rank of Major and a wolf head howling. I think the wolf represents my lone wolf status. I've noticed that my mane and tail are pretty long. My tail which drags onto the floor and my mane which hangs over my eyes. I'm going to have to ask Celestia if I can get a haircut or a manecut, what ever they call it here. I turn to the shower, turning the nobs to adjust the water to a warm temperature which for warm I mean scorching hot water. I always take baths in really hot water. After the shower, I dry myself off with a towel. Walking out of the bathroom, I quickly trot off to the bed just wanting to get to sleep already. I pull down the covers and jump in. A relaxing sigh escapes my lips, as I relax on the soft bed that seems to be extremely comfortable. I roll to my right to look out the window and see the moon shining down into the room. This place seems more relaxing than being home where I'm always on edge. This place has a calming effect that just makes me want to enjoy life and relax all day. This place feels.....happy. I don't know how to describe what I'm feeling, but by only feeling happy. I find no reason to go back home now that I'm here. I don't even have family back home. I was raised in an orphanage up until I reached the age of 18. I was recruited into the army where I mostly worked alone because I enjoyed it better that way. I had no friends, nor lovers during the time I was in the army. I've always taken my job seriously, never having time to talk with any of the people in the base we were in. Maybe things will change since I'm here now, but first I gotta adjust before I can do anything too rash. At this point, I just want to go to sleep. A yawn escaping my mouth, my eye lids feeling heavy as they close slowly. My mind wandering into the darkness from the awaiting dreams or memories I'll be having. Not noticing the shadow of a certain night princess watching over me as I sleep.
Chapter 2Time: 5:00AM Year: Unknow Day of the week: Tuesday Location: Canterlot Military instinct starts kicking in, waking up from a deep wonderful sleep, I open my eyes and groan roll out of bed. I hear a 'clop' sound as I land on four of my legs. Looking I notice I still got hooves. I groan out in annoyance, thinking that it was all a crazy dreaming I was having. Seems like the sun hasn't come up yet, noticing that the moon is still out as I look out a window. I quickly trot towards the bathroom to do my daily morning routine. After I'm done with all that, I walk out the bathroom and out the room, leaving my equipment in the room under the bed so that no one messes with it. But just in case I run into to some trouble; I grab my suppressored Deset Egale 50. Cal, which is a matte black colored. I holster the weapon, and strap the holster to my right leg. I love all my weapons with suppressors. Makes my job a lot more easier when it comes to sneaky missions. My rifle choice is a black matte SCAR-H with gold on some places of the weapon. It has a gold dragon on the left side of the rifle. My attachments are a target finder scope which highlights any enemies in red, a suppressor, an extended clip, and finally a fore grip. I quickly stash everything away and hide well. I'm going to have to ask Celestia if I can have my stuff put somewhere safe, so that no one tampers with my weapons. God knows what'll happen if they get their han-...I mean hooves on them. As I walk out the room, I spot some Lunar guards posted at my door. Ones a midnight blue therstal mare with slitted green eyes. Her helmet blocks away her mane, so I couldn't tell what color it was, but I look at her tail and see the color violet so I amuse her mane is the same color. The stallion therstal's coat color was a light gray color, his yellow eyes being slitted as well. His tail being the color of turquoise. The marks on their asses are pretty hard to tell what they are cause of their armor being in the way, so I give up on trying to figure out what they are. They don't even look my way. They just stand there with a stoic look, not even moving a muscle what so ever. I think I woke up a bit to early. Seeing as the Luanr guards are still out. Oh well then. I'm up already, so might as well explore the castle for a bit. I said mentally. I being down the hall noticing that there's Lunar guards lined against the walls, mostly mares I see and a couple of stallions. They seem to be in the same stoic attitude as the ones that are posted at my room. They all looked tired when I take a closer look at them. But my question is, why are there so many mare than stallions? I just noticed this now. This leaves me with a bunch of questions swimming around my head waiting to be answered. I'll just ask Celestia once she's up. An hour has gone by now after I finished the exploring of walking around the castle. In that past hour the sun has finally popped out from behind the mountains, and now shines brightly down onto the world. The Lunar guards start heading out to the barracks, and the Solar guards start to ready themselves for thier daily morning shift. Some of the therstal mares send me winks and a few lewd looks my way. I still don't know what's up with the mares here, and why there's so many of them? I decide to go back to my room and await the guard that's suppose to escort me to the dining hall. Once I arrive to my room, I stop my trek towards my room as I see a Earth pony Solar mare guard at my door. She's to be waiting at my door rather flustered looking. She also seems kind of nervous, but why? The mare has this white gray-ish coat, her eyes being a beautiful golden color that shine from the sunlight. Her silky tail being the same color of her eyes, but a shade darker. Her cutie mark is a shield crossed with dual swords with a crystal blue heart in the middle. I walk up to her making my presence know to her. Her ears perk up and turns my way, her body going completely rigid and tense, her face having this very deep crimson blush arcoss her muzzle. "Are you suppose to be my escort? If you are, it's nice to meet you. My name is Major Reyes or Reyes. Either one is fine." I introduce myself to her with a smile. The mare just looks at me with a gaping mouth and flushed look. She quickly shakes her head, ridding the deep blush she had leaving only a pink hue on her muzzle. She salutes and beings. "Yes Major, I am your escort to the dining hall, and it's nice to meet you to, sir. My name is Lieutenant Brave Heart, sir." She's says in her saluting form still. "Um....at ease Lieutenant." I say awakardly, not knowing what to say. Which she eases herself down, and looks up at me with wonder all over her eyes. "By the way, just call my Reyes for now on. No sir, or anything like that. Just Reyes, okay?" She nods her head in understanding. "Good. Now let's head out to the dining hall, so I can meet up with the princess." "Yes si-...I mean, yes of course." She corrects herself. "Follow me." She turns around and beings trotting down a hall. I trot next to in order to keep up with her. At times I feel her brush up against my side, or her tail brushing along side mine which I just shrug off, thinking that all this is happening on accident. We've walked down many halls, done many lefts and rights, and now we've arrived to our destination. "Thanks for the escort Lieutenant Brave Heart. I appreciated you showing me the way." I thank her with a warming smile. She smiles with a blush spreading across her muzzle as she looks away, rubbing her foreleg with her hoof. "It was nothing, Reyes. I was glad to help out." She says. I nod my head and open the door to walk into the dining hall, but stop as I hear Brave Heart calling out to me. I turn to look at her, giving her my full attention. "What's up?" I ask. "U-Uh...um....do y-you want to maybe h-hang out after your done m-meeting with the p-princess?" She stutters out as her hooves tap little against each other, her face looking down to the floor. I shrug and let out a grunt. "Sure. Why not? Meet me back out here once I'm done, ok?" Her head springs up with a wide smile, her eyes sparkling as she looks up at me. "Really?! You mean it?!" I nod my head at her. She jumps up at me, wrapping her hooves around my neck, and she nuzzles the side of my face. She quickly gets off me, her blush deepening further on her muzzle. She grins up at me sheepishly. "Hehe, s-sorry about that." I crack a smile and shake my head. These ponies are way to touchy and to damn nice. I like it. "It's ok. Now I gotta go meet up with the princess." We give our goodbyes, and head out our respected ways. As I open the door, I hear a distant 'squee' going off. Shaking my head to rid of the weird noise, and I walk in. I spot Celestia conversating with a couple of ponies at the dining table. Two of them being alicorn mares, but not as tall as Celestia. Then there's the two unicorn mares. I make my presence know, as I walk up the table. The mares at the table pause their conversation and all look up at me. "Ah! Major Reyes, it's good to see that your finally here. I was just introducing you to all the ponies here today." Celestia says with a motherly tone. "Wow Auntie Celestia, you weren't kidding when you said he's tall, and looked incredibly dashing." A mare with pearly white coat and blonde wavy mane gasps out in surprise. A blush forming on her face, fanning herself as she looks at me. "Wait what?! Princess Celestia, his rank is Major?!" Another white coated mare with three different shades of blue on her mane yells out in surprise. Which Celestia replys with a nod of her head. I nod my head to all of them, ignoring the comments I heard from the mares. "It's nice to meet you all. I'm Major Reyes, as you all know already. I'm a high qualified military officer, trained to do infiltration mission, recon missions, and direct action missions. I'm a lone wolf when it comes to my job." I speak out dully, keeping a straight face as I do so. "I'm Princess Luna, night bringer of the moon, and co-ruler of Equestria." The midnight alicorn says with much power in her voice. "I'm Princess BlueBelle, niece of Princess Celestia and of Princess Luna." The blonde mare says, sending a wink my way. "I'm Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, or just Cadence is fine. I'm the ruler of the Crystal Empire." The pink princess says with a bubbly attitude, a sweet smile spreading across her muzzle. The mare with the three different shades of blue on her mane, gets off her seat, and walks up to me. She looks up at me with a glare. "Listen up buddy, I know your not from around here, and don't know who most of us are, but if you so much as cause any trouble or hurt anypony, I'll be sure to make your life a living Tartarus. Got that? I'm Gleaming Shield, Princess of the Crystal Empire, and Captain of the Royal Guard. And that pink pony over there is my wife. Try anything with her, and I'll beat you to a pulp." She says in a deadly whisper. I look down at the mare with a bored look. I let out a grunt, "Hmprh, cute. Your trying to threaten me." I say in my deep gruff voice which everyone in the dining room hears. Gleaming flinches back, a blush forming on her cheeks from the comment. "Look, you can't just assume that I'm going to cause trouble or hurt anyony just because I'm not from around here. Ya I get it that your just doing this because your want to keep your family safe, but you can't just make assumptions about me like that before getting to know me." "He's right Gleaming. Now leave that handsome stallion alone, and come sit back down at the table and stop acting all tough around him. We all know what your trying to do anyways." Cadence says to her wife as the trio of mares start to giggle. Gleaming's face turns into a fury of red, her ears also turning red at the tips. "Shut up! I'm not trying to do anything." I scratch the back of my head in confusion. I really don't know what the hell is going on. Gleaming goes back to her seat next to wife, and sits there with pouting blushing face. "Have a seat sir Reyes, breakfast will be done shortly." Celestia says. I nod my head, and walk up to seat next to BlueBelle, I sit down and adjust myself to get comfortable. "Sir Reyes, is that one of your weapons you were talking about last night? The one strapped to your back leg." Celestia asks with curiosity. I nod my head in reply. "May I see it?" I nod again. I take my suppressored desert eagle with my magic, take out the clip, and cock it back to see if there's any bullets in it. After that's all done, I float it to her. She grabs it in her magic, scanning her eyes sharply over it. She scans every little detail about it with much percision. "What does it do?" Luna chimes in. "It shoots out 50. Cal bullets, at high speeds. It can shoot from short to median range only. The gun has a lot of recoil to it. It's a very powerful weapon." I state simply. "Do you mind showing us a demonstration on how it shoots?" Gleaming is the next to ask, as she seems interested in the weapon. "Not here. I don't want to end up having the bullets ricocheting anywhere, and hurting somepony." Questions start bubbling into my head, remembering the certain question I wanted to ask Celestia. "Hey Princess Celestia, why are there so many mares here? I just noticed this today, so I was curious to ask." "Well the reason to that is because our mare population out dues the stallion population. It's rare when a foal colt is born. There are so many stallions with sperm that only carry only XX chromosomes, and not many carry XY chromosomes. So the population now is 80% mares and 30% stallions." She states simply, not looking up to me as she keeps her eyes trained on my sidearm. "What?!" I scream out uncharacteristically. They all look at me with weird looks from the sudden out burst. They Gleaming is the next to speak. "Jeez Reyes, it's like if you don't know anything that's going on around here." "That's because I don't." I sigh out. Everyone in the room looks at with confusion now, wondering what I mean. "Look, girls, I'm going to be dead honest with you guys. I'm not from here, and I mean literally not from here as in this planet or maybe even dimension. I'm not even suppose be a pony. Back in my world I was a human. I was on a mission on New Years Eve the year being 2025. I was infiltrating a base to collect intel on the enemy, and then destroy their base. But it ended all to shit after I walked into a room armed with nuclear bombs. I set off an alarm after trying to disarm the bombs, and the whole room I was in got swarmed with enemies. I didn't have a way out, so the only way I was going to complete my mission was to sacrifice myself." The mares gasp at this. They seem to be listening intently, taking every word I say. "I blew up the bombs and in return destroyed the base and everyone in it, and now I'm here. Alive. As a pony." I finish off with my normal dull look. I let everyone soak up the information. But before anyone can ask me any questions, the waiters come out with the breakfast. Celestia floats back me my side arm, and I strap it back to my back leg, putting the clip back in and putting the safety on. We all ate quietly. Not one daring to speak up about anything or ask any questions. I know they probably don't believe. I can tell that they think I'm some crazy person making up random shit, so I speak up about it. "You guys don't believe me, do you?" I ask, not looking up from my food. The one to reply back is Luna. "Sir Reyes, do you really think some foolish made up story like that can get you out of the trouble your in for breaking into the castle?" She says rather dangerously calm. "Sorry your highness, but it's not a foolish story." She snorts out rather un-princess like, and continues to her breakfast. "How do you think I have these strange weapons? Weapons that haven't been seen before, or even the gear I have with me. I'm pretty sure all these things look pretty alien to you, right?" "He has a point there Auntie Luna. We've never seen weapons like his before. Maybe he's telling the truth and I can also sense in his heart that he has no ill intentions toward anyone. His heart is just......," she pauses, as she turns to look at me, giving a sad look, "...devoided of any emotions. No love in his heart." The last part she says rather quietly. "I still don't believe him. For all we know he could've made those weapons himself to assassinate us, and we are here just letting him eat at the table like nothing ever happened last night!" She looks to her older sister and continues to voice of all this bullshit. "Sister this is absurd! He's a criminal, and we should have him in the dungeons for breaking into the castle and lying to us by making up false stories." Everyone looks to Celestia; she just has this calm look on her face, as if saying 'everything is alright.' She smiles. That smile, god, it will never get old. She looks toward me with her warming smile, as I look back at her with my dull look. "Sir Reyes...," she pauses for a bit,".....do mind letting me use a spell that lets me go into your mind and see your memories to see if your telling the truth?" I shake my head. "I don't mind at all." I reply back. Everyone being shocked at this. The rest of the mares look at me with very shocked looks, especially Luna. She nods her head back and gets up off her chair and walks up next to me. "I'll be bringing everyone with me to see your memories, if that's fine with you?" "That's fine." Celestia's horn glows with power. My body feeling ehxausted and eyelids feeling heavy. Last thing I see is the that warm smile of Celestia's. Why does she gotta be so damn nice? Damn her and these ponies for showing such affections. They make me feel weird. I quickly fall asleep. Awaiting for the darkness that awaits for me.
Chapter 4Time: 6:00AM Location: Canterlot Castle Year: Unknow Mane Six and Stallions P.O.V "You took a picture of him and sent it to the PlayPony Company!!" Twilight shouts out at her friend Rarity. "Oh Twilight, I'm sure he wouldn't mind at all darling. He's a very handsdome stallion and should get recognition for it," Rarity said calmly, as she skims through a fashion magazine. "Hey! Aren't I handsome enough for you?" A hurt Spike looks over to his wife. "Oh Spikey Wikey, don't get so jealous." She scoffs and keeps her eyes on her magazine, "You don't see me getting jealous when you stare at other mares now do I?" Spike doesn't reply back, as he stays quite and doesn't respond back. "I didn't think so." "Hey guys," Soarin pauses to get everyponies attention, "why did we let the kids sleep with the new guy and that guard mare? I mean I trust the guard mare, but the new guy who was a human and got sent here and turned into an alicorn sized pony who's build bigger than Bulk Biceps. The guy is monstrous! What if he does something to ourkids?!" He says with much worry in his voice. "I have to agree with Soarin on this one. The guy is pretty scary when I first saw him." Pokey Pierce is the next to chime in. "Same goes with me," says Flash Sentry. "If he does do anything to our kids, I'll personally scorch him to Tartarus myself." Spike says with much vemon in his voice, as a puff of smoke shoots out his flaring nostrils. "Oh stop it you guys. He's a nice stallion. Did you not see how well he was playing with the children yesterday? And not to mention that he has a child of his own." FlutterShy, the one always to defend the innocent, scolds the stallions for making false assumptions about Reyes. "She's right about that you guys." Golden Delicious says. "Oh quick being such a kiss ass." Shinging Armor says. Golden Delicious just shrugs his shoulders, not really caring. "Well...let's get ready to head out and check on the kids." Rainbow Dash says with impatients. Everypony nods their head, and start to make themselves more presentable. Brave Heart's P.O.V I watch Reyes play with the children, a small smile adorns his face that's just noticeable. Watching him play with the kids is heart warming and rare to see. A stallion rarely plays with their offspring or usually leave the offspring to the mare. The kids aren't even his and he's playing with them like if they were his own. The only child of his is Allison, but they aren't blood related. Seeing Reyes like this makes me to want him more. If he can be a loving father and be a soldier at the same time, oh dear Celestia! I'd take him before anymare can get to him first, and I might succeed in that too. I know he likes me and I like him a lot. So I try to presude him in a forward way, and by that I mean by giving bedroom eyes, batting my eyelashes at him, flashing him my goods y'know, all that stuff mares do to get that one stallion. But nothing seems to work except when I sway my ass at him; It really gets his attention. I guess he's into mares with bubbly butts, and I got that. I'm telling ya, the girls are going be furious when they hear about Reyes eyeing me up. Right now Reyes is getting all the kids ready to head out, but before we can head out, a knock hits at the door. "I got it," I said. I trot to the door and open it. I flinch back at the amount of mares outside in the hallway. There's maids, Solar guard mares, Lunar guard mares, and a couple of noble mares outside the door. My eye twitches, already knowing why they're here. Reyes's P.O.V I walk up to Braver Heart, wondering why she's just standing at the door. I look out the door and my eyes widen only a little, not much where it's noticable. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! THERE HE IS!!! PLEASE MARRY ME YOU HOT HUNK OF A STALLION!!!! A Lunar guard therstal mare shouts out from the back of the crowd. "Him marry you? Ha! He wouldn't date some hussy like you!" A Solar guard mare shouts back to the Lunar guard. A whole outbreak of shouts and arguments echo around the hall. Some mares looking ready to kill one another as they fight over me. I calmly look to Brave Heart, her right eye twitches in irritation at the amount of mares outside the door. I look back at the kids who all seem curious about the whole commotion. The shouting starts to irritate me, my ears flicking from the constant shouts going around. I grab hold of my pistol, spin of the suppressor, and point out a open window. I squeeze the trigger with my magic, and let a round go off. The shot making a loud thunderous noise that echoes around the whole hall, making everyone flinch back and cover their ears from the loud noise. I put my pistol away and gather all the kids onto my back, and I put Allison on my head. They all fit because of my size being much bigger than most ponies, which will help in times when I need to carry things. The kids all squeal in happiness. I have about sixteen kids on my back, jumping around and climbing around me. I walk out the room and away from the crowd. I head towards the dining hall where we'll be having breakfast again, my ears shift back to the sound of hooves. I look over my shoulder and see Brave Heart following, and not the rest of the mares. I turn my head back foward and keep my focus on getting to the hall. I feel Brave Heart lean herself against me, her armor making it umcomfortable for me to walk, but I'll let it be. The reason she's like this is becuase of all the mares that were trying to claim me as their own which was really odd. "Papa Reyes?" I hear Turquoise Blitz call out to me. I look back to pony/dragon hybrid colt, "What's up?" I ask him. "Are you going to take us back to our parents?" With that question asked, the rest of the kids on my back look up at me with sad pouty looks. "Your taking us back?! But I wanted to hang out with you more, Papa Reyes! Your so much cooler and nicer than my dad and mom!" Prism Bolt whines out. "Yeah!" The rest of the kids agree with their pegasus midnight blue friend. Papa Reyes is a nick name Anthea came up for me, and the other kids started calling me that. At one point I told them to only call me Reyes, but they insisted on calling me Papa Reyes, so I let it slide. Allison didn't mind all, she seemed rather happy about it. The reason to me is unknown. "I'm taking you guys to the dining hall, so you all can have breakfast. Your parents are all going to be there, and they're going to want to see you." I simply state. Whines and groans echo around the hall which I ignore and keep heading to my destination. A giggle comes from my side, as I look down and see Brave Heart smiling up at me. A smile tugs at my lips as I look at the mare. I gotta say that she sure is something. She seems like an ok mare to me, but she's a bit to clingy to me and she acts like if we're already together. I mentally sigh to myself, and contiune on to the dinging hall with the kids who play on my back and my daughter who plays with my mane and ears. We arrive to the dining hall where the stallions, mares, and the princesses await us. I let the kids hop off my back, but they all stay huddled close to me. The stallions see this and couple of them send glares my way while the mares just coo cutely the colts and fillies. Allison slides down my head and onto my back, then jumps off. Brave Heart leaves the room, but not until she gives me a quick nuzzle to my chest and leaves the room with a happy smile. "Well it is seems that you have a certain guard mare that has a crush on you, sir Reyes," Celestia says with a bit jealousy in her voice that goes unnoticed by the ponies in the room, but me, Luna, and Cadence seem to catch that, but we don't call her out on it. I sigh and rub the side of my head with a hoof, "Not just one mare, but many," I said. "Pffft, ya right," Soarin says with a snort. "It's true dad! There were a lot guard mares fighting over Papa Reyes. They all wanted to marry him," Prism Bolt says. "Yup. It was weird though, but they all wanted him! It's because he's a super duper cool papa!" Cotton Candy exclaims happily, as she hops up to chest and nuzzles into my fluff. The patch of fluffy hair on my chest is odd. I've only seen a couple of ponies around with the tuff of hair on their chest's. I'll ask either of the princesses about this later. All the kids seem to be hugging me. For what reason you may ask? I don't know. But the stallions are all glaring at me with fire in their eyes, especially Spike. Spike gets off his seat, and walks up to me and the kids. His nostrils flare out, as smoke shoots out. He stops infront me, his eyes narrowing in slits,"Kids, go to the table," he says without batting them an eye. The kids don't object, as they scamper to their mothers who await them, but Anthea and Allison stay. Spike looks at both of them with soft glare to not scare them much. "Both of you need to go the table. Now," he said. I get right into his face, my glaring eyes matching his own. The rest of the stallions get off their seats at the sight of this, and rush up. "Who are you to command my daughter around? And if Anthea doesn't want to go then she doesn't have to. Ya get?" I push him back to the stallions. Spike was about to lunge, but the stallions stop him from getting any closer to me. Anthea hides behind my front leg and Allison does the same. The dragon struggles for bit, but calms himself down after of few minutes. The stallions leg go of their friend. "Why are they calling you papa?" Spike asks calmly, but still has his narrowing eyes set on me. Before I can respond back, Anthea interruptes me. "It's b-because I-I started t-to call him p-papa," she says rather quietly, but everyone can hear well anyways. She keeps herself hidden behind my leg. I see Turquoise Blitz and Clarity walk up to their with a smile. Clarity is the one to speak up first. "Daddy calm down. It's only a nickname for him. Plus he was really nice to us, and was taking care of us the whole time," she says with a giggle. The turquoise colored hybrid colt nods his. This calms Spike and the rest of the stallions. Spike sighs and rubs the back of his neck with his claw. "Shoot. Now I feel bad for assuming wrong about you. I thought you were doing something to our kids," he says with guilt. Fluttershy floats over to me, she has a warm smile shinging to me. She look toward he daughter her shyly hides behind my leg. "Anthea, did you like Mr. Reyes taking of you?" She said motherly. Her soft sounding like if angels blessed with the such a beautiful sounding voice. Anthea wraps her tiny hooves around my leg, and nuzzles her face into my leg. A smile and a tiny blush speard across her as she hides her face. "Mmhm," she mumbles out. She looks out from behind my hoof, and look up at her mother. "Mommy?" "Yes sweetie?" "Can Mr. Reyes be my daddy?" She asks innocently. I raise an eyebrow as I look at Anthea and then to Fluttershy. She floats down to the ground, the warm smile never leaving her muzzle. Fluttershy notices my confusion so she speaks up. What she tells makes my relax a little, knowing that one of the stallions is going to attack for their duaghter wanting a new dad. "I adopted Anthea when she was about 4 years old," she said with a sad smile. I look down at the little filly with a soft look,"So......your an orphan too?" I say softly. Her ears perk up, and she looks up at me with her blind light aqua eyes. A little girl, who can't see, and left at the orphanage. This infuriates me to no end. I'll find who ever her parents are and teach them a lesson to not leave their children alone. Her soft voice speaks out to me, calming my anger from how soft it is. "You were an orphan too?" She asks curiously. I nod my head, and look to Allison. "So was Allison, but I saved her and took her in as my daughter, and I'm glad I did. She's made a great impact on my life, my life being much brighter ever since I found her," I said with much my care into voice. Allison smiles up at me and hugs my other leg tightly, making me give a off a smile of my own. I hear sniffles go around the table, the mares all crying at the soft and touchy moment. Some of the stallions seem to be in the same state, while the other hold out strong. I look to Fluttershy, small tears sliding down her soft butterscotch cheeks, then I look down to Anthea who's eyes stay glued up at mine. Her sparkling, awaiting for my answer. I let out a sigh, I lay myself down so I can eye leave with her. "Listen kiddo, I don't know if your mom is ok with this. I mean we aren't even a couple," I said. "So then be a couple so you can be my daddy!" She exclaims. "It isn't that easy ki-.." Fluttershy interruptes me mid-sentence. "W-Well...., we c-can try t-to be." She then hides behind her long pink mane, a blush flaring up over her muzzle. "I mean if you want to," she said softly. I'm in a state of shock right now. Everything is going to fast for me at the moment. Fluttershy beings again, "You're a very nice stallion, and well.....," her hoof traces circle around the marble floor,"...your very handsome," she mumbles out the last part rather quietly, but I pick up what she says. I don't know what to say. Everything is happening so quick. Me coming here to Equestria, becoming a pony, finding my daughter here, mares wanting to marry me, Brave Heart claiming me as hers already, and then I got Fluttershy who wants to try and date me and her daughter who wants me to be her dad. My mind doesn't know how to comprehend everything at the moment, so what usually happens to me I get into a state like that, I stay locked in one place and stare of into nothing. Anthea tilts her head to the side cutely, as she reaches up to my muzzle and pokes me. She lets out a giggle and looks toward her mother. "Mommy, I think you broke him," she lets another giggle as she nuzzles herself into my fluffy chest of black fur. Allison starts to get jealous of Anthea hogging me, so she scoots on up against Anthea and nuzzles herself against my chest just like Anthea. All mares 'aww' at the cute affection of the two little fillies, but then the other kids start to get the same pouty jealous looks that Allison had and start to complain and want to join in on the cuddling. This gets me of my broken state as I see all the kids running to me. "Hey you guys! I want to snuggle with Papa Reyes too!" Clarity yells out. "Yeah! I wanna cuddle too!" Turquoise Blitz says. "Us too!" The rest of the kids say excitedly. I got about fourteen kids running or flying straight at me with no intentions of stopping. Two them not being here cause they're sleeping, and that's Nidra and Flurry Heart. All the kids reach me and all pile around me. Some laying on me, or others nuzzling into my fur. I let a small smile tug at my lips, as all the kids lay around me. I hear grunts of struggle coming my way, so I look up at the struggling culprit. It's Starburst trying trying to keep her blance from her over grown wings that weigh her down. "Need help there kiddo?" I ask. "No," she grunts as she takes a couple steps toward me," I got this." She takes couples a couple more steps, but soon her struggling small legs collapse on her and she take down. Her eyes start to tear up, her lower trembling as she sniffles a little. Twilight and Flash were about to get to cheer up their daughter, but I get to it first. I encase the sniffling filly in my magic, and float her over to me. I put her with Allison and Anthea. She hides her face in my chest to not let any of her friends see her cry. I softly a hoof on her head, and softly stroke her mane . "Cheer up kiddo. Don't let your wings be bringing down like this," I said. "I can't cheer up if my wings are the cause of all this. I can barely walk, and I can't even use my wings because they're to big," she says quietly, as she sniffles a bit. I look down at her with sympathy, wanting to do something for her, but what. Then an idea comes to my head, so I look towards the parents of Starburst. "Is it alright with you two if I train her to built more muscle in her legs to balance herself better with her wings?" Flash Sentry was about to say no when Twilight spoke out first. "Is this training going to be hurting her in any way?" She asks with a serious look. I shake my head. "Besides being sore that's about it," I calmly say. Twilight gives me a hard look but I don't flatter from it. Cadence steps in, she puts a hoof on Twilight to which she looks to her sister-in-law. Cadence has a smile that says 'Everything is going to be alright.' "He means it Twilight. I checked in on him and sensed that he was telling the truth," she says. "Eeyup. He's telling' the truth Twi," Applejack speaks out. Twilight then looks to me, her seriousness never flattering. "Very well then, I'll let you train my daughter but," she pauses, her wings flare out, and magic pluses out," if you hurt my daughter.....I'll end you in a heart beat." She says with much venom that'll kill a man. Everypony reels back at the sudden threat made by Twilight. It seems they've never seen this side of her before, and are just experiencing this just now. No one knows what to say as me and Twilight stare each other down. The princesses are taking this pretty well, but the rest of the mares and stallions are shocked from this side of Twlight. The kids are frightened, so they all hide behind me. I get up, my aura showing how serious I am from that sudden threat she made and Allison seems to sense this from me. So she speaks up before I can say anything. "Twilight, when my dad says something he means it. I've been with him since I was an orpange, and he's never hurt. The things he's done was feed me and take care of me. He's like the best dad ever!" She says happily. Twilight sighs and nods her head, but before Twilight can say anything else, Flash Sentry calls out to me. "Hey Reyes?" "What is it?" I ask him. "I want to challenge you to a fight," he says as he walks up to me. I give him my usual bored look and being,"For what purpose?" "To see if you're enough to train my daughter." All the guys look at him like if he's crazy. "Dude he's out of your league! He's a major and you're a lieutenant. He has more experience than you," Soarin says. "He's even bigger than you! The guy will crush you!" Poke Pierce says. "I say go for-...." before Spike can finish that sentence I interrupt him. "I don't have show that I'm worth enough to train your daughter. It'd be pointless if we fight," I said dully. "What? You to chicken to fight me, Major." The orange coated stallion says with a cocky attitude. One minute he's was guilty about assuming wrong about me, and now he's getting cocky with me. "It's not that I'm chicken," I pause and give him a side look as I narrow my into slits,"it's that I don't want Twilight and Starburst here to hate me for nearly killing you, and I hate people who get cocky with me." Flash Sentry gulps at the sight of my gaze and shrinks back behind Spike. I shake my head and let out a sigh. "I'm sorry for scaring you Flash, but I'm being honest here. I've done training that no other per-....pony has ever lasted in. I've trained in many fighting styles that range to hoof to hoof combat and to using weapons.
Chapter 5We just finished eating breakfast, and man I gotta say that the guys are really getting on my nerves. When their kids want to talk or play with me they always send nasty glares my way, but I always counter back with my own which scares them, except for spike. The guy just keeps up with his relentless glare every time they call me Papa Reyes. It's not my fault that I'm a kid magnet, and that kids always enjoying playing with me. Well the kids back at home never really played with me, only Allison was the one I played with and took care of. I don't know. I don't know why the kids like me so much. I mean, I know I take care of them and I'm always nice to them, but they can't possible see as a father figure so quickly, can they? Or maybe they look up to me as an uncle of some sort? I don't know, things have been weird since I got here, even weirder with all the mares trying to claim me as theirs. Then I got Brave Heart and Fluttershy. They're both nice and I Iike them both, but it's going to fast and they're ponies! I use to be a human, a human who only got with another human of the opposite sex. Though I never really had a relationship with any girl except for that one girl in base I was in with. But she doesn't count as a girl I've been with. So I'm pretty much lost here, and new to everything around me. I should probably read some books and get in tune with today's society. So that's what I did. I went to a library right after breakfast, and read quite a few books. I read books on magic, history, the creatures that live here, and a book about the Elements of Harmony. The book of the elements really caught my attention. The first few pages were about how the emelents work and how they reformed the bad to good. Then there was a part in the book that caught my interest. It was the girls who are the new element wielders. Twilight being element Magic, Rarity being the element of Generosity, Rainbow dash being the element of Loyalty, Fluttershy being the element of Kindness, Applejack being the element of honesty, and Pinkie Pie being the element of Laughter. Then in the book it talks about how they saved Equestria countless of times with the Elements of Harmony and etc. Once I was done reading that book, I continued on reading the book about magic. It was an interesting book, I tried a few of the spells in the book and I got them done pretty well, but it was only the simple ones. After I finished with the simple ones I went on to the much more complicated ones. The difficult ones were about using magic for offense type and defense. There was one about adding more hit power to your hooves, which I found quite useful, but I broke the wall in the library when I tested the spell out and I got kicked out. Luckyly I had hid the book away with me so I can study more of the spells. They'd become useful if I run out of fire power. But then, I saw a spell that can duplicate things! That means I can dulicate my ammo. I sigh out as I close the book with my magic and suspend it in the air as I walk back to my room. The kids aren't with me at the moment, that includes Allison. She wanted to play with the rest of the kids, so they went out to the playground out in Canterlot with the stallions and the mane six. I arrive at my room, close the door, and let out another sigh. As I look up, I instantly lock up at the sight before me. A blush starts to form on my muzzle from the scenery before me. Eight mares in total, all sporting lingerie, and they are all posed in sexy positions on my bed. Four being therstals and the other four regular ponies. "Hey there cutie. We've been waiting for you to arrive~," one of the therstal mares said. They all get off the bed, and trot on over to me. They're hindquarters saying in a hypnotizing way. They huddle up against me, their soft plushie bodies rubbing against me as their hooves travel around my body with expertise. My heart starts pumping in an abnormal way, as I feel a sudden feeling I've felt before and I don't want this feeling to ascend. "Hey whoa now ladies, getting a little to touchy aren't we?" At the comment I said, the mares seemed to get even closer to me and they start to move their hooves somewhere down south. My eyes widen, my body heats up, and the feeling I get is rising up quicker then I want it to. The door opens and in comes in Brave Heart to save my life. "Hey Reyes, Im baaaaa-......uh?" Brave Heart stands at the door, her armor still on, and she looks rather scary with that calm look on her face. She shifts her gaze to the mares, I feel them tense up at the look she's giving them. She has this darkened look in her eyes, a smile that looks so eerie, and a dark purple aura surrounds her. "What's going on here, Reyes? Why are you with all these mares?" She says with this calm dead voice. This scares the mares, they're all wrapped around me as they start to shake against me. "Nothing is going on. These mares were just in my room waiting for me," I say with a blush still across my muzzle. Brave Heart flicks her head to the door, indicating to the mares to leave. They all leave without hesitation, as they scamper on out the door. Once they're all gone, the door shuts, and Brave Heart is right at my side with her foreleg wrapped tightly around mine, her body now leaning against mine. "I guess I'm going to have to finish what they've started. Since they got frisky with you, and got their scent all over you by rubbing themselves against you. Now I need to claim you as my own again, so I have to put my scent all over you~," she moans out. "Uh?" I look at her stupidly. She goes to shove me down, but I don't budge. She tries again, but this time with all her body weight pushing into my side. I look down at her as she struggles to push me. "Uh...mmm....move to the bed you big hunk," she says as her face starts to get red from struggling so much. "Now why would I do that," I say with a raised eyebrow. "I just said why! So I can put my scent on you and claim you as mine again." She goes to push me some more, but her hooves slip from under her and falls down. I look down at her with an amused look as she pouts cutely. Her looking like that makes my heart skip a beat, making my heart pump a little as I feel that feeling again that makes me weird. I quickly get it under control as I take a deep breath to calm myself. I hear Brave Heart gasp suddenly, so I look her way. Her face is flushed heavily as her mouth hangs open. She seems to be looking at something between my back legs. So I look down between my frontlegs, but see nothing. "What are you looking-......ah!? What the hell are you doing?!" I jump slightly as I move away from her. She looks at me with a dazed blushing look, a little bit of drool hangs from her lip as I hear her mumble a couple of words. "They're so.....big~" "Hey! I asked you something you damn perv. Why did you touch my balls?!" I say loudly to get her out of her daze. She gets out of her daze, and looks up at me. She puts her hoof up to her mouth and giggles into it. "Wow stud, I didn't know you were packing some heavy weight there. You sure are bigger than most stallions. A lot bigger if I might say," she says that last part quietly, as she bites her lip seductively. It's like if she doesn't care if she touched my private area. This gets my eye to twitch as a blush forms across my muzzle. I'm a fucking high classed trained soldier! I shouldn't be acting like this, or letting some pervy mare touch my goods. "What's the matter Reyes," she leans her body on me as I feel her hot breath against my neck,"getting a little steamy at my touch~" She says with a lick to my neck. That feeling that I just had comes out of no where and hits me. My eyes narrow and a smile forms itself on my muzzle. I push Brave Heart away gently. "Not today doll, I got somewhere to be. Maybe another time," I say with a much lower voice that makes Brave Heart's face flush. I send a wink her way, and walk out my room. I sigh as I look myself over. God, I hate it when I turn into this. "Well this mode won't last long, so might as well let it ware off." I happen to stumble upon a training room for the guards, and there's quite a lot of guards here. Mostly Solar guards since it is still daylight outside. I look around for something paticular to shoot so I can relieve this sudden mode I'm in. By the way, the mode I'm in right now is something I haven't named yet, but let's just call it Super Mode for now. It's a trait which causes my body to activate thirty times more neural transmitters than the average person or pony, which makes the function of my central nervous system, namely the cerebrum, cerebellum, and spinal cord to accelerate dramatically when I'm sexually excited. As a result, in Super Mode, logical thinking, judgment and reflexes all rise exponentially. I enter a temporary mode, like a transformation. It also permits me to develop a sixth sense. Also, when I use my pistol, it brings out my full potential in using it when I'm in Super Mode, or any other weapon I use. Now I just gotta find some targets to shoot so I can rid of this. Just as I was about to head to the target dummies, I get stopped by a tap to my right shoulder. I look to pony that tapped my shoulder, and see four mares in Solar guard armor. "So you're the one everymare is talking about, hmm," she says with a snarky attitude. I frown at her attitude towards me and it's not settling well with me, but her attitude continues on. "Hmph, you don't look much. Ponies been saying that your rank is major, but I say that's a whole load of bull-......hey! Where you are going?!" I walk past her and continue on. I can't listen to her long because of my Super Mode. If I let my anger get the best of me, it'll be the end for that chick. But she keeps on following me and pestering me. Even the mares with her are following me, for what reason, I really don't know. "Hey I'm talking to you! Are you even listening to me?" A small pegasus mare flies in front me, which gets me to stop. She looks at me with baby blue dull bored eyes that look just like mine right now. This actually surprises me a little, not knowing that there was pony that can hold such dull eyes such as myself. "Get out of my way," I say dully. "Not a chance," she says equally the same. We stare each other down without unblinking bored eyes, neither of us taking a chance of looking away. "Good work Tohka, you got him to stop," the mare with the snarky attitude says. Tohka? What an odd name for a pony. "Now as I was saying," the snarky mare continues but I choose to ignore. "Tohka uh? A bit of a off name, wouldn't you say?" "Like if you have room to talk. Reyes doesn't seem like a pony name to me." "Touché." We continue our stare down as the snarky mare continues with whatever nonsense she's talking about. The two other mares watch on with amusement. Before I can say anything to this Tohka person, a couple of stallion guards come up the mares and me. Well they're targeting me cause their angered looks are straight to me. I already know why though, so this is going to be just wonderful for me. I look away from Tohka, and send my bored gaze to the stallions. Before they can say anything I jump in first. "I am in no mood to hear any of your complaining about me getting all the mares," I say lowly, as I set my gaze on them. They freeze up on the spot, as I walk up to them and look down upon them, my shadow covering them all as the frighten stallions huddle up to each other. "Now leave before you piss me off." The stallions nod their heads quickly, and scramble away. I sigh and shake my head. I turn back to the mares and nod my head to them. I walk away and head to the target training area. As I walk to the area, I hear someone walking behind me, so I stop and look over my shoulder. "Tohka, why are you following me?" "Because you're interesting." I wait for a little for her to continue on, but she doesn't. "That's it? Because I'm interesting." "Mhmm," she nods her head. "Are you sure that's the real reason why you're following me?" I ask curiously. She shakes her head, and looks up at me as she gets a little closer to me. She reaches up with a hoof and draws circle patterns on my chest fluff. Her face holds no emotion, which makes me give her a weird look. I was going to ask what she was doing, but what says next halts my question. "I want you to kiss me," she says bluntly. At this point my Super Mode just drops completely from the sudden bluntness of her command. The whole guards in the room stop what they are doing and our way. I don't mind the looks cause I always got them back home. Then they start to whisper to each other and I happen to hear some of their whispers. "Is she serious? She can't be serious that the hot hunk of a Major is going to kiss her." "She's so weird." "Did she just tell the Major to kiss her? What a freak." My ears and tail flick in anger at the comments shooting towards this mare. I hear sniffles coming from the mare, her head is shifted down, as he bangs cover her glistening eyes. It looks like she's about to spring up and fly away, but I catch in time before she can do anything. I wrap Tohka in my magic, and lift her onto my back. Once she's on my back she wraps her hooves around my neck and hides her face. I turn and walk away, not giving a look to anyone, but I can tell they're shocked. As I was about to leave, I stop and turn to look at all the guards in the room. My eyes turn into slits, my voice goes lower than normal, and a black aura of magic surrounds me. "You all should be ashamed for bullying your own fellow guard. I'll be sure to tell the princess about your behavior," I say, but before I can walk out, I look over and give them a side look. "If I ever hear any of you bullying anypony," I flex out my magic to back up my words,"I'll be sure to have a one on one talk with you." All the guards pale at my words, and how scary I look as some faint. I walk out the room, and let out a tiring sigh. "Hey Tohka?" She doesn't respond. I understand why she's not responding, so l'll let her be. I walk down some halls, I do some lefts and rights, and I arrive to my room. I open the door and see Brave Heart still in my room. She seems to be looking for something. "Brave Heart, what are you doing?" "Eeeeep," she squeals in fright, as she jumps up and turns to look at me. She puts a hoof to her chest as she takes deep breaths. "Oh Celestia, it's just you Reyes. Well as for what I was doin-...." A little sob squeaks out from the mare on my back, her hooves wrapping a little tighter around my neck, but to a point where she's choking me. A vein forms onto Brave Hearts head as she sees the mare on my back. A sadistic smile forms on her face. "Reyes....why is there is mare with you?" She says with a twitchy eye. I'm not in the mood for this right now. I let out an annoyed grunt and walk out the room, leaving the fuming mare to herself. I walk aimlessly down a hall, wondering what to tell this mare. I feel her moving around on my back, her hooves unwrap themselves from my neck and wrap around my chest. Her back legs wrap around my barrel, as she's done doing that, she nuzzles her face into my back and lets out a content sigh. "You feeling any better?" I ask without looking over my shoulder. "Mhmm," she replies. I pause for a little and see if she'll continue, but she's doesn't. "Not much of a talker, uh?" "Mhmm." Silence. I don't know where I'm walking to. I don't really know where to walk to. Maybe I should find some where quiet, somewhere where it's peaceful. Then it hits me. The garden I found when I was walking around the exploring the castle. That should be a good place to have a conversation, well if we do have a conversation besides 'Mhmm's'. I get to the garden door, and open it to go out. I walk out and see the sun hovering over the mountains, as a cool breeze passes through. The nice cool air cools my body that radiates to much heat for my liking. I walk further into the garden, and later find a nice open spot to lay in the grass. I lay myself down, but Tohka still hangs on. "You planning on getting off?" "No," she says almost child like. I really don't get this mare. I think mares are the same as the women back home. I don't think women will ever be diferent if I would of spawned in another universe. I chuckle lightly. That's why you gotta love them. They're so unique in their own, and so much different. I feel soft from all this now. Why am I even talking about this? My thoughts get interrupted from Tohka getting off me. I look over to her and see her stripping her armor off. I gaze upon her slender but lethal frame that hid itself away under that armor. Her brown mane flow down to her shoulder, as part of her bangs covers her right eye. What makes her look kind of adorble looking is that lone hair sticking from the middle of her head. Her coat is a tanned color, and her cutie mark is a cloud with with waves on top of it and a lightening bolt shooting out of it. It seems like I can't keep my gaze away from her. Her mane shines in the lowering sun making it look glossy. Her eyes shine brightly as the suns rays reflect off of them. She turns my way and notices my staring, she shyly looks away as she rubs her forleg. "Please Major, stop staring. It makes me feel embarrassed," she says softly with a small blush on her face. I shake my head and apologize. I rub the back of my neck as we akwardly look away from each other. "Why did you say to kiss you?" I suddenly ask. Tohka doesn't answer, her gaze still not my way. "Tohka, why did you say to kiss you?" I ask again a bit loud. She still doesn't answer. I starting to get a little annoyed now from her not answering. I stand up and walk up to her. Her now tilted slightly down so her bangs cover her eyes. "Are you going to answer?" Nothing. "Tohka, I'm not going to ask again, why-...." "It's because I like you," she says with softness. I can now see tears sliding down her cheeks and dripping off her chin. She then continues on. "The reason I like you is because I've been watching you, watching you take care of the fillies and colts that hang around you, seeing how you show so much love and care to them makes me want to have the same treatment your giving them. It warms me to no end seeing how you care for those kids that are not even your own. I've wanted to start a family of my own and have a nice stallion who would care for our children just like how you care for those that play with you, but every stallion avoids me like if I got the plague. They avoid me because how I act, and how I'm smaller than most mares here. I-I just don't get." Before she can say anything else, she breaks down into sobs. I don't know what to say, this came out of nowhere that I don't know how to respond. Her sobs keep at it, as she cries out in sadness. Watching this small mare cry her eyes pains my heart. This is strange because only Allison can only have an affect on my feelings, but seeing this mare this way just pains me to no end. I gotta do something before my heart shatters. I sit down in front of the crying mare, and then I wrap my hooves around her small form, and bring her against my body. Her hooves instantly wrap around me, her body quakes, and tears still flow down her cheeks. Her face stuffed into my chest, as muffled sobs escape her mouth. I feel my fur start to matted from her tears, but I don't let that bother me. "You know Tohka, it doesn't really matter if your smaller than other mares, or because of your personality. It all depends on being you and only you. Who cares what other ponies think about you, they're just jealous cause they can't be you. I'm pretty shocked that you don't have a boy-...I mean a coltfriend. You seem like a sweet mare, Tohka." I close my eyes, as I give off a warming smile to her. This gets Tohka to look up at me with a surprised look. "Y-You think....I-I'm sweet," she asks slightly unsure if she heard me right. I nod my head,"I also think your very beautiful." Whoa, where did that come from?! Her eyes widen, a small gasp escapes her lips as a blush forms. Her baby blue eyes lock on with mine. She puts her hooves on my chest, as I crane my neck down to have my muzzle a little closer to hers. "Do you m-mean that?" "I completely mean it." Her face heats up even more as my face inches closer to hers, her ears fold back as the tips glow red. Her eyes close, and she puckers her lips. I inch mine towards hers ever so slowly. My muzzle centimeters away from hers. As I was about to claim her lips a loud voice screams out to me, halting me from kissing Tohka. REYES!!! WHAT IN TARTURUS DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!?
Chapter 6I look up to the pony sceaming out to me and see Brave Heart walking up to me with a flame surrounding her. Her teeth are clenched shut in anger as her eyes are narrowed into slits. I start to sweat a little from the fury emitting from Brave Heart. She's so mad that even fire is spewing out from between her teeth. Brave Heart stops a few feet away from me because of Tohka getting up and getting in front on me. Her wings flex out and water starts to form at the tips of her wings. "Back off, he's mine," Brave Heart says through clenched teeth. "Not a chance," Tohka says. Before the girls can do anything rash, I step in between them. I give them an icy glare that disputes Brave Heart's flame and freezes Tohka's wate wielding wings. They both shiver at the glare I send, so they back up and sit down. A headache starts to come around so I stop my glare. I let out a sigh and let myself relax. Since when can Brave Heart emit fire from herself and Tohka wield water on her wings? This place keeps getting more stranger by he minute. I need to read more. I look to Brave Heart, which her gaze seemed to be on me for second but now she faces away to the side as she pouts angerly. "Ok Brave, what's the big deal here? Why are you acting this way?" Brave Heart looks at me with much raw emotion in her eyes. What she says doesn't shock me at all. "Because you were about to kiss that small tiny tramp, and not me. You're mine Reyes I claimed you first!" She she says with a wine, as she stomps her hooves on the group, like a child throwing a tantrum over not getting her favorite toy. "I am not a tramp, and I'll have you know that the major here likes the way I am. Don't you, Major~" She says my rank to me seductively as she rubs up against me, as her tail entwines with mine. Brave Heart presses up against me and wraps a her forleg around mine. She stares at Tohka with fury in her eyes, as both of them stare each other down. "C'mon girls, no more fighting, or do you both want me to get pissed off again?" I say tiredly. Both girls tense up and shake their head side to side. I see that the sun has set now, so might as well head back now. "We should head back and call it a night." I yawn out as I rub my with a hoof to get the tirdness out of it. They both yawn as well, their eyes drooping as they try to stay awake. One minute they we're fighting the next second they're tired. I just don't understand what's going on with these mares. I pick them up both with my magic to fit them on my back. Since Tohka is smaller than Brave Heart they both fit nice and snug on my back. Brave Heart curled up into a ball and Tohka is wrapped around my neck once more. Now I just gotta get these two to the barracks. I got the girls to the barracks, which caused a scene among all the mares that were sleeping in there. I had to flex out my magic to keep them disorientated for a while. I had to be quick about this. I set Brave Heart in a bed, which was empty, so my guess was that it was hers. Now it was Tohkas turn; the girl wouldn't let go. She had a death grip around my neck, and the mares in the barracks were starting to get their senses back, so I ran out and took Tohka with me to my room. So here we are in my room. *sigh* I hope Brave Heart doesn't come in tomorrow in my room and seeing me and Tohka in bed together. She'd really freak about that and she'll start complaining how I didn't bring her here with me. Just what I need in the morning. Next thing you know, a mare comes in my room at night and tries to ravage my body. I slap my face with a hoof for even thinking that. I hope I didn't jinx myself for that. Whatever I'm to tired to even care at the moment I just want a bed to lay on and get some sleep. I jump into bed with Tohka still wrapped around me. Once I hit the pillows I'm out. I lightly stir awake, not fully, to a weird sensation I'm getting in my lower half. It feels good, but odd. I've never felt this before, but it stops as soon as I move a little to adjust myself. Now that the weird feeling is gone I can go back to sleep fully. After a couple minutes pass that same sensation comes back, only feeling a lot better. A light soft gasp wakes me from my slumber, my eyes open groggily at the sound. I look out the balcony window and see it's still dark out. As I was about to turn to look at Tohka a great sudden pleasurable feeling comes from my groin. I shut one of eyes as I grit my teeth in pleasure as a throaty moan echos around the room. I look down to the bed sheet, and I pause as I see that I'm pitching a tent. A massive one at that. I'm shocked beyond anything. Before I can show any other expression, a wet sensation starts to slide up my meat pole. It twitches in pleasurable agony as I groan out. I lift up the covers and my eyes widen with a blush. There's Tohka playing with my dick, as her hooves play with my apple sized balls. I was about to cuss her out, but she puts the tip of my manho- I mean stallionhoof into her mouth, which makes me arch my back at the extreme sensation. My heart beat quickens, as my sexual drive starts to trigger my Super Mode, and that isn't good at all. "T-Tohka...." I call out to her. She looks at me with bedroom eyes as she lightly sucks at the tip of my sword that penetrates her ever so wet mouth that makes my cock jolt. She slides the the tip and slides her tongue up and down my member with skill. "Oh Major, I couldn't help myself. I saw that you were getting a bit excited under the bedsheets, so I wanted to help you relax. I'm glad I chose to, you're so big~" she moans out, as she nuzzles my cock. My mind is telling me no, but my body is telling me yes. I dont know what to do. This sensation feels so damn good that I want her to continue, but at the same time it's wrong cause I don't know her that well. Tohka interrupts my train of thought with a pleasurable lick. "You ready for more, Major~" The sound of her voice brought a song to my head that I use to listen to a lot back home. At the thought of the song, the music player in my armors helmet starts to play itself out of the blue. The song startles Tohka, and stops her licking. I lay flat on my back, panting as I try to cool myself down. "Where's that music coming from?!" She looks around the room to find the source of the music. "M-Music player, turn off." I command. The music slowly dies down and the room is once quite again. I look up at Tohka with mixed emotions, anger, confusion, embarrassment. Yes I'm embarrassed cause I've never done things like this before. "What the hell Tohka? Why are you doing this?" I ask calmly, trying not to show my anger. My body has cooled down a bit and my rage hard on I just had is slowly stringing back into it's sheath. This gets Tohka to pout from seeing my dick shrink. "Well the reason why is because I woke up and saw that you were pitching a big tent. I got excited when I saw it, and decided to relieve the pent up stress you had. Also because I've never seen a stallions private area before." She says bluntly with a small small. At this point I don't even care anymore. I'm just glad Allison wasn't here to see this. "Get out of my room, Tohka, and I mean now." I say tiredly. "No. I'm going to explore your body more and have my way with you before that other mare takes you." I've had it. I pick her up with my magic, take her to the door, open it, and then throw her out. I close the door before she can get back in. BANG BANG "Let me in, Reyes! I want to make love to you!" She shouts through the door. "Go away, Tohka!" BANGBANGBANG I'm getting pissed now, so I flex out my magic and I lower my voice. "I'm going to count to three, and if your not gone by then your going to regret it, do you understand?" I say with my icy tone. Before I can even start counting, she's already gone. I fall face first into the pillow tiredly. These mares are crazy! I don't even know why they like so much to a point where they want to take over my body when I sleep. This is getting out of hand....er hoof I mean. Whatever, I just want to sleep now. So that's what I do. Dream Realm Flash after flash of memories run through my head. Memories I wish I never experienced in my life. Memories I wish I could of avoided, or at least fixed. Then one memory pops up and stays in my mind. The memory of the girl who caused me such heartache. I've gave her so many things, I cared for her, I gave her much love, I took bullets for her, and what does she do after being together for two years? She dumps me for another guy. A guy who I was sort of getting close to as a friend. She was just playing with my feelings just to get close to him. She didn't even care if I was heartbroken, she didn't care if I almost died for her, and she didn't care that I was considering suicide. She just laughed. Laughed at how pitiful I looked. Laughed at how I cried myself to sleep. Laughed at how I tried to get her back in my life. Then at one point she just drove my feelings away. All my emotions vanished because I couldn't handle all these emotions going through me. Everytime we pass by each other in the base she'd mock me and laugh at me, but I didn't care. I wouldn't pay her any attention, like if she wasn't ever there to being with. This is what drove me not to have a relationship with anyone ever again. Everytime a girl would try to get close to me I'd walk away from her or either not pay attention to her. I didn't want the same heartbreaking feelings I had when I was dating her. Her laugh echoes around my head loudly, which in return wakes me up. I suck in a breathe of air, as I lift myself up feeling sweaty all over. My fur matted against my skin from all the sweat dripping off me. I take in steady breaths to calm myself. I put my hooves to my face and run away the sweat sliding down my forehead. "Ah geez, it's been a while since I've thought about her." I get out of the bed and walk to the balcony. I open the doors and get a blast of cool breeze hitting my heated body. Its morning and this breeze feels really good. I sigh in content, as I relax against the railing. "Are you feeling alright, Reyes?" A deep male voice calls out to me. I sigh and shake my head. "No, not really. Just woke from a memory I didn't want to have." "Ah, I see. Was the memory about your ex-girlfriend?" "Ya, it wa-....wait minute," I pause and turn around to look at the pony I'm talking to,"how do-.....uh?" There's no one there. I slap my face with a hoof. "I'm going insane." "What makes you say that?" The voice asks curiously. I look around but I don't see anything. A glint of a white light flashes on my left hoof, so I lift it up to get a better look and the voice comes again, which spooks me a bit. "I see you're surprised, but calm anyways. That's good. Now, my name is The Holy Dragon Emperor, or whatever name you see fit to call me is fine but I'd prefer not to have some odd name. I'm a spirited dragon trapped in a Sacred Gear you have been bestowed ever since you arrived here in this colorful world. The reason I'm within you is because I have chosen you as my next wielder. You have such great power within you, but it seems that you haven't reached that power yet. "The Holy Dragon Emperor? A spirit in a Sacred Gear that's within me? A great power within me?" I stay quite for a while after repeating the things that caught my attention in a questioning manner. "Just what the hell is going on anymore. Not one day can I go without something weird or odd happening to me that can put more weight onto my shoulders.” I let out an irritating sigh at all the things being thrown at me out of the random of this world. Well it seems to me that your having a hard time adjusting. I let you be and let you think over things.” And with that, the dragon inside me goes quite. Again, I let out a side, rubbing my temple with a hoof as a headache starts to arise. The pain comes full force as a guard burst through the door to my room starts sputtering out nonsense that I can’t understand. “Chill out! I can’t understand a god damn thing you’re saying. Relax and tell me what’s going on.” I say with much irritation in my voice. The guard relaxes but not fully, “Sir, please follow me. It’s an emergency. An intruder has suddenly appeared in the castle and is currently being surrounded by guards.” I sigh once more and prepare myself. I put on my armor and I secure everything on. I strap my assault rile to my back and then nod to the guard. He seems curious to all the the things I’m carrying but quickly composed himself and walks out into the hall while me tailinh behind him with the same bored stride and attitude. We arrive to the location of the appearance of the intruder, but I can’t see said intruder so I walk on through the crowd to get to the middle. The guards start making a pathway me, which makes things easier for me because I’m to lazy to even speak to loud. The first that catches my attention is mare that’s in the same armor as me, but not bulky as mine. She has no helmet, so I can see her face fully but can’t recognize who she is. She has long raven black hair and a eyepatch that covers her left eye. Her coat is dull gray color and a few scars that run across her face that noticeable but as noticeable. I stride up to her but quickly stop as she points her ranged weapon at me. She then starts screaming out in what’s sounds to be German. “Relax, I’m not going to hurt you. Please put down the weapon and lets talk.” She hesitates for moment but does as said. She the steps up closer to me and so do the guards. I raise up hoof and stop their advance. “You speak any English?” She nods her head, but something seems to catch her eye that’s on my chest. She then looks up at me with wide eyes. She looks right into my eyes and squints here to focus on mine. I raise a brow wondering what she’s doing and what she’s so surprised about. Her eyes slowly start widening as she stares at me. Tears now forming at the corner of her eyes. “R-Reyes is that y-you?” She says in a shakey thick accent. She slowly takes shakey steps towards me. I narrow my eyes at he and take a closer look at her. The armor she wear is like mine, her rank is private and that thick German accent sounds familiar, but who is she? Then her yellow bright vibrant eye catches my attention quickly. I know this person, I know this person very well and just standing in front of her is making me sick to my stomach. It seems she was in the same situation as me. She died on earth and got transported over here. Just my luck. The sudden feelings I hold quickly drain from me. The slight curiousity I held vanishes away and a bored dead look comes back. The air around the hall gets chilly, sending chills up everyone’s spines. The guards slowly back away from me and the mare. “How did you die, and how did you ge here? Explain quickly or I’ll kill.” I make my sidearm appear in front of the mare, and point to her head. “If you don’t explain quick enough, I will kill you, and you know I will.......Private Amber Schwarz,” I said to her with a icy tone. Author's Note Yooo, heh sorry for not updating the story in a while. I’ve been backed up in all the work, homework, and all the bullshit happening in my life. Not much of an excuse for not updating, uh? Well, sorry if that’s not good enough. Anyways, hope you like this chapter, it’s a bit funky, but eh, oh well. If you don’t like it then don’t complain. Just dislike the story and be on your way. If you do complain then I don’t care because at the moment I give zero fucks. Hope you enjoy this short chapter!
Chapter 3Everyone appears in my mind; everyone looks at various locked memories, wondering why they're locked. None of the mares seem to notice me, so I clear my throat to get their attention. They all seemed startled from the sound noise, as it echoes around the black voided room with only precious memeoires locked away. "Sir Reyes, why are these memories of yours locked away?" Cadence is the one to speak up first. I let out a deep sigh, walking up to the memories looking over them with a small smile. "These were my only good memeories I ever had in my entire life. These were the ones that kept me alive and going; The ones that make me not want to just end my life." The mares gasp in unison, flinching back from the comment. "But why would you want to end your life? Isn't it scary to die?" Gleaming is the next to ask. "There's many reasons why I wanted to end my life, like growing up alone in an orphanage, people never wanting to speak to me cause I was weird, and some people that were dear to me either that I had to leave behind or have passed away." I say with a blank look; I look over a certain memory I held very much dearly to me, so I'll be showing this one to them. I tap my hoof on the lock, unlocking the memory as it shines brightly. The dark room shifts around, adjusting into the memory of mine. There's destroyed homes along the streets, some at the brink of falling down, and some barley holding on. It's a stormy day, as water pours down from the clouds, thunder roaring out with ferocity, and lightening flashing with pulses of engry. The mares shield themselves from the rain by surrounding themselves in a bubble of magic. I let the rain hit me, making my mane sag down to my face. I look around and find my memory self, and point quietly towards my human self. The mares look towards the thing I'm pointing at, there eyes widening a bit. "Is that what you use to look like?" Luna says with much shock in her voice. I nod my head. Luna stares at my human self with her jaw hanging down which the other mares look on the same, except for Celestia. My human self walks down the street, keeping his rifle trained on anything that moves. "Sir Reyes, why are there so many houses destroyed?" BlueBelle asks as she turns to look my way. "That's because a war was going on, a war that's been going on for almost 2 years, and its still continuing as I'm here now." I hold up a hoof to stop the incoming questions. "Please, everypony, keep all the questions you have until this is all over." They nod their heads, and look on to the memory. Reye's Memory First Person P.O.V Location: California City: Classified Year: 2020 Time: 7:00PM Current mission: Locate civilians and liquidate any enemy hostiles I scan around with my thermal sensors, looking into each broken down home for any highlighted enemies, but find none. I continue down the street of the homes, and stop adruptly. Four red dots pop up on my HUD; the dots seem to be moving my way from the north, I quickly activate my camoflauge suit, making me more un-seeable by the rain, just as long as I don't move much. I stand still in the middle of the street aiming my weapon down the road. Voices can be heard, but I can't hear them clearly cause of the heavy rain falling down. I enhance the hearing on my helmet to hone on to the voices. "Hey John, what are we suppose to do again once we're done killing all the people that survived here?" A female voice says. "Viranica, how many times do I have to tell you this! We kill the survivors, scavenge for any supplies, and then report back to Ramirõ. Plain and simple, got it?" A gravely voice man speaks out next. "Yeah yeah, I got it." "Lighten up babe, once we're done with all this, how bout you and I go to my place and have a little fun." Another male chimes in. "Pfft, ya right! With what your packing? Ha! Don't make me laugh." "That's all what men want. Sex. It's fucking ridiculous. Freddy, you ain't getting laid, your fucking ugly, and you got a small dick. So stop trying, and move on." A another female chimes in, but this one sounds tomboyish. "Shut the fuck up Victoria! You're just mad cause you can get dick from no guy." The one named Freddy, I assume, yells out. "I can, but I choose not to. At least I can get dick and pussy but you can't get either cause your fucking ugly." Victoria counters back. I block out there voice as their conversation is starting to annoy me. Once they're close enough to me, I walk up to one of the guys, I put my hand over his mouth and plunge my knife into his throat. I let the body drop, alerting the others of their fallen friend. "What the hell!? John! Oh shit, Oh shit! Johns dead!" The girls are the ones to run up to their friend looking him over in panic. I swiftly throw a knife at the other guy, hitting it's target right on his head. He's the next to drop dead onto the floor. "What fuck is going on!?" One of the girls yell out. "Who cares! Im fucking outta of here." The girl with the tomboyish voice yells out in panic and bolts down the street, leaving her friend behind. Before she can get any farther, I snap my sights on to her, and fire off a round into her head. The last girl jumps up, her weapon shaking in her hands, trying to locate me. I come up behind her, cover her mouth with one hand, and the other I'm holding a knife to her throat, making her drop her weapon in fear. I drop my camoflauge; the girls eyes widen in fear at the sight of me. She must know who I am, and what I do. "Your a mercenary, aren't you?" I ask her. She starts mumbling into my hand while shaking her head no, as tears roll down her eyes. "Don't fucking lie to me! Now tell me where your hide out is, or I'll kill you." I say with my usually bored tone at the end. I release my hand from her mouth. She takes in deep breaths, as she starts to shake a little. "If I tell you, y-you won't k-kill me, right? She stutters out. "You tell me and you don't lie about it, then no. I won't kill you." "Go north down this road, and take a right and you'll see a house with only broken windows. Inside the house there's a basement built under ground the house. That's where our hide out is. Now please, let me go already." She squirms in my arms, tightening my grip on her as I hold my knife closer to her thoart, making her stop in fright. "Do you have any civilians there in the hideout?" "Just a little girl we found during our search party. I've told you everything, now let me go!" She slips out of my grasp, and runs down the street I'm suppose to be heading. I let her run bit away from me, but like with the other girl, I home in on her, and press the trigger. A thunderous crack goes off as lightening flashes brightly. I've arrived at the hideout, and killed all the mercenaries. Now all I need is to find that little girl. I walk into a room, and the little girl is laying on a bed curled up into a ball. She's shakes in fear at the sight of me, her eyes widen with fear as tears roll down her cheeks. In a long time I've never felt my heart ache this bad. Just looking at this little girl like this makes my heart ache. The little girl has brown hair that reaches to her back, and wears a jacket, pants, and boots to keep her from getting cold. She looks to be around seven years old. I take of my helmet and lower my weapon to the floor, and I walk up to her. She quickly hides herself under a blanket, and starts whimpering under it. "P-Please mister, d-don't hurt m-me." She says through sobs. My heart breaks from the sound of her voice. I kneel down toward her, and wrap her in a hug. "Shh shh....it's ok sweet heart, I'm not going to hurt you." I tell her in a soft fatherly voice. A voice I didn't even know I had. The little girl latches onto me, tears streaming down my neck as she nuzzles her head under my chin. I sit on the bed, letting her wrap her legs around my my back, her arms wrapped securely around my neck, crying heavily. My heart can't take much more of this, as I let a lone tear slide down my cheek. I cross my legs and rock back and forth, rubbing her back in comfort while cooing and shushing her quietly. This gets her to calm down, as she quickly starts to fall asleep against my chest. Soft breaths hit my neck, telling me she's fallen asleep. I lay her down back on the bed, and I check my watch for the time. It's 9:00Pm. Might as well spend the night here, and head back into the town I found on the way over here. I set up some traps to alert me of any enemies coming to the hideout. Once all that's down I strip of my armor, leaving only the thermal shirt I have on and my combat cargo pants on. I get in the bed, slowly not to disturb the little girl from her sleep. I lay down on the bed and get comfortable, shifting around a bit as I do so. The little girls eyes open slightly, looking up at mine tiredly as dry tears stain her cheeks. She shifts closer to me, nuzzling herself against my chest as she grips my shirt. She quickly falls back to sleep, as little snores escape her mouth. I drape the blanket over us, wrap my arms around the little girl, and secure against my chest. I sigh out. Poor kid. I mentally say. I let sleep take over me and yawn, my mind drifting off into slumber. I let out a groan, feeling my mind and body start to awaken. My eyes drift open to see the little girl draped around me, her head tucked under my chin, as she still sleeps soundly. I move to get up, but the little girl whines and clutches onto my shirt. "Hey kiddo, c'mon wake up." I say softly to her, nudging her a little. "Mm, noo. Five more minutes." She whines cutely and wraps her legs round my back and nuzzles her face into my chest. This gets a small smile on my face. "C'mon kiddo, I have to get you somewhere safe first, and then you can have more sleep." She yawns and rubs her eyes. "Okay." She lets go of me, and I get up and put back on my armor. The little girl seems to watch curiously at this, as she has her head tilted to the side in a cute manner. "So..." I being, "you got a name sweet heart?" She shakes her head. "No." She says shyly. "Do you have parents?" She shakes her head again. Oh wow. She's a lot like me then. An orphan. "Would you like a name?" She nods her head as a smile spreads across her face. "Alright. How about Allison? How does that name sound like to you?" I send a warm smile to her. "I like it, mister." She says happily, smile shining brightly. "Aight cool. Well Allison, my name is Reyes. It's nice to meet you." "It's nice to meet you, too, mister Reyes." I shake my head, "Just call me Reyes kiddo. The mister and sir thing make me sound old, so my name is just fine, alright." I pat her head. She nods her head, her happy smile never seeming to go away. I stand up, put on my helmet on, and check over all my weapons and gear. Once everything is all checked and counted for, my lenses from my helmet glow a deep blue which scares the little girl a bit. "Sorry kiddo, I didn't mean to scare you." I lightly ruffle her hair, making her giggle in the process. She looks up at me, her arms out stretched to me, indicating that she wants to be carried. "Can you carry me?" She asks with a pouty teary look. Just by looking at her, my heart aches with the sudden feeling of cuteness that Allison gives off. She makes a grabbing motion with her hands, her lip quivering, and her eyes ready to spill tears. I can't take it no more. I strap my rifle to my back, and gently pick her up, I cradle her in my left arm. Her legs wrap my torso and her arms wrap around my neck. She giggles cutely. Her giggles are just heart warming to hear. I can already feel in my heart that I'm going to get close to this girl. Even though my mind tells me not to; Not to show any emotion nor feel or I'll end up weak; My heart and mind are in a battle, but right now......I'm siding with my heart because I want my life to change, and I know Allison will be able to do that; To make my life much more brighter than it is now. I'll do everything in my power to keep this girl safe, to make her life better, to see her grow up. But God himself will only know what happens to her or me. Though I already know he won't cause no pain to anyone. He only brings happiness to those who truly are good in the heart, mind, and soul. Though in my heart, mind, and soul, I can feel things won't go as good as I want it to be. If only God himself can change that for me. It's been 2 years since I found Allison. We've been getting very close since those past 2 years. I gotta say that she has changed my life tremendously. She's now nine years old, staying at the base in my room. I've convinced the general to let her stay with me because she didn't want to be left at the sanctuary hideout where she couldn't see me. After I've convinced him, he let her stay there as long as she behaved and not cause any trouble, to which Allison agreed to. Every time I come back from a mission, Allison awaits for me in my room. She always rushes up to me and gives me the biggest and warmest hugs. It always cheers me up seeing her like this when I come back from some stressful missions. At times when I've come back, she always says, "Welcome back daddy! I've missed you so much." She tells me with the biggest smile on her face. Her calling me daddy brings a warm father feeling to my heart, it almost brings me to tears from hearing her calling me that. I've never had a girl to settle down with and have a family with because I was never the social type, so having her telling things that a daughter would brings such joy to me. But I know in my mind that this isn't going to turn out has happy as I want it. My mind tells me this everyday I get off missions and spend my time with Allison, that this won't last long for me, this happiness. But I ignore it and leave it be. Right now I'm heading back to the base, ready to see the bright smiling face of Allison jumping at me with her trade mark warm hugs. Thinking about all this starts to make me impatient, so I start to jog the whole way back. Once I arrive, I spot the guards who are suppose to be guarding the front gates dead on the floor. Blood pouring out from their freshly made bullet wounds. Thinking back to Allison kicks in my instincts on overdrive, running past the dead guards, I run into the base. Bodies of deceased people liter the floor of the base. Men and women shot dead on the floor. I don't know how this happened. How did enemies get into the base so easily into a heavily guarded base? Then it hits me. Those fucking war dogs always had heavy military weapons and gear. There's no signs of the war dogs here. This must of moved out before any reinforcements can arrive. Allison. Allison is on my mind. Dread fills my body from seeing all these dead people. I run past everything, heading to my room with speed that would match a jaguar. I arrive to my room door and kick it open. I quickly rush inside, "Allison! All-..." My yelling stops adruplty, noticing the trail of blood leading up to Allison who lays against a wall, her head slumped down. Her head lifts up slowly, and looks at me with teary eyes. "D-D-Daddy...." she says, as she coughs up blood onto the floor. I rush up to her and lay her on my lap, tears now streaming down my face as I hold her. "It's ok sweet heart, daddy's here." I say softly, stroking her hair softly. My hand trembles as I run my fingers through her hair. "It hurts d-daddy. My s-side h-h-hurts a lot." Tears start to flow freely from her eyes. She looks up at me with eyes that show much pain and fear. I scan her body and spot the bullet wound on the right of her waist. The wound looks deep, so I don't know what to do. Everyone is dead, I'm to far from any other base that's around. I start to weep silently, holding Allison close to me, wanting her to stay and not leave me in this dark lonely war infested world. "I'm s-sorry Allison, I'm so so sorry. Only if I would've gotten h-here sooner I would've saved you." I feel Allsion's hand grip mine. I look down at her with my tearful look, her doing the same as she flashes me her smile. "Don't cry daddy *cough* I don't l-like seeing you this w-way *cough*" she says weakly. Her eyes start to droop a little, her skin being pale from all the blood she's losing, and body shivering as if she were cold. "I'm so tired and cold, d-daddy." She nuzzles her head into my lap tiredly. "It's ok sweet heart. Just go to sleep and you'll warm up. You'll be in a better place, I promise you. I'll be there with you once you wake up, okay?" I softly tell her, my hands going completely numb now. Her eyes close shut and what I hear next shatters my heart. "I love you.....daddy." Her last breath draws out her hand falls off mine, falling limply to floor. The room is quite, no sound, no nothing. All you can hear is the soft breathing of me. My whole world once again nothing but complete darkness. Nothing to bring brightness and love to my heart, nothing to cheer me up after a stressful mission, nothing to tell me.......I love you. Those three words that make me strive to live, to fight, and to keep that person safe from harm. But now look......I couldn't even keep Allison safe. I pull out my pistol, cock it back, and point it to my head. I struggle to press the trigger. I know Allison wouldn't want me to do this, but I want to see her again, I want her to keep giving me those warm hugs she always gave me, I want to hear her giggle every time we play, I want to see her smile that always seems to cheer up my darkest of moods, I want......her to tell me she loves me and to call me her dad. But now I know she can't tell me anything because of those war dogs. I stand up, taking Allison's body with me, I walk out the room, out the base, and into the godforsaken world. It's raining; I walk down a road that's to the south of the base. It's where me and Allison use to go to when it's calm and there's no war commotion going on. Once I arrive, I set Allison's body done onto the ground gently. I look at the river and nod my head, and so then I begin creating a small casket made out of wood. Wrapping the wood together with some metal wire I had on me. Once the casket is done, I start putting all the flowers she liked here from the river. After that's all done I put Allison's body into the casket. I close my eyes, make a quick prayer, and set the casket into the river. I watch as the river slowly takes the casket away, my mind setting a goal to destroy any war dogs I see; no mercy. I don't care if they're man or woman, I slaughter all of them. They took the thing that was precious to me, so I'm going to take they're lifes. I get up, ready my gear, and walk towards the first war dog base marked on my H.U.D. My mind and body are boiling with rage that I can not contain no more. Those S.O.Bs will wish they have never fucked with me and have took Allison away from me. Memory Ended The spell has ended after it shows my memory self storming off with rage. The girls are in tears; they're shocked; they're saddened; they're enraged; they're horrified. All theses emotions are being shown through their eyes. They show all these emotions, but I.....I don't show mine at all. I can't. They only way I was able to do that was Allison. She's the one that opened my heart, and now she's gone. Cadence is the one to speak first, her eyes turning my way. Her eyes are puffy and red from all the tears she's been spilling. "S-Sir Reyes, I-I don't k-know what to s-say, b-but give-......" Cadence gets interrupted by Luna who has banged her hooves on the table. Everyone looks at her way, her eyes souly trained on mine. "Sir Reyes, y-you had a daughter named A-A-Allison, correct?" I nod my head, not knowing what she's getting to. But the next think she says makes my heart skip a beat. "I've met her, in her dreams. She's in Ponyville Orphanage, Sir Reyes. She's alive." She tells softly, a smile she gives off that tells me the truth. I get off my chair and stare at Luna with a pleading look. "Please princess, take me to her. I want to see her! Please, I beg you!" Luna smiles her horn glowing, and in a flash everyone is gone. Location: Ponyville Time: 6:05PM We all appear in Ponyville, ponies in town stop their ativicties after noticing their princesses have arrived. I don't care much about that though, I just want my get Allison. I look around frantically, trying to spot the orphanage. I spot it to the left of me, so I sprint to the building and open the doors. I walk up to a desk where a mare sits. Before she can say anything I interrupt her, "Ma'am, do you have a little girl named Allison?" I ask as calmly as possible. She smiles and nods her head. "Yes we do. Are you looking to-....." She stops midsentce after seeing the princesses pop into the room that I'm in. She quickly bows, not telling me where she is. So fuck it, I rush past her and into the back. I run down a hall that leads to another door. Hearing the sounds of kids in there makes me drive my legs faster to get there. I open the doors with bang. All the kids stop their activities and look up at me either with fright at my or amazement in their sparkling curious eyes. I look around, "Allison! Allison, where are you?!" I start down the rows of bunk beds, waiting to her Allison's voice. "Allison it's me Reyes! Please come out sweet heart!" I look around at all the kids who just stare up at me. My heart skips a beat again. The voice of Allison speaks out from the back. "Daddy! Daddy, is that you?!" I look to the back all the kids, and see someone moving towards me, the kids moving aside so they can let the pony through. A filly pops out from the crowd of fillies and colts, and stops in front of me. Her hair is the same as it is, her coat the is a tan color, and her hazel eyes shine like they always do. She looks up at me, her neck bending back to get a better look at me. The filly walks up to me, her legs shaking as she takes a couple steps towards me. "D-Daddy.....i-is that really y-you?" She says with tears of sliding down her checks. Her eyes glisten with hope. I multiple hoof steps walk into the room, but I don't look to the door. My eyes stay glued onto Allison. I know it's her because of her voice. "Yes. It's me sweet heart." I move my head down towards her, and nuzzle her cheek. Tears start to flow down my cheeks now. "I've missed you so much, Allison." I say with much softness in my voice. Allison wraps her tiny hooves against my head and nuzzles her head against mine. "Daddy it really is you, it really is!" She screams out happily as her high pitch voice cracks a little, making her sound cute. This brings a smile to my face. I wrap my hooves around her, nuzzling and licking her cheek. I don't know why I'm licking her, but it just feels right to do so. "Oh daddy, I've missed you so much. You look so different and your still big and tall!" She giggles, her tears drying away, like if they were never there. I just smile warmly, and hug her against me. I hear sniffles going around. I look around and see every filly and colt, the princesses and some new princess, new ponies I haven't seen before with kids with them, and the mare that was at the desk. They're all looking at me and Allison with tears of their own. One mare with a white clean coat and violet curled mane cries out dramatically on a sofa with her hoof over her eyes. I put Allison on my back, and let her adjust herself to sit comfortably. "Wow! I'm so high up off the ground." She says in excitement as she hugs herself around the neck. "Hey it's Twilight and her friends! Hey guys, come meet my daddy." She waves to the mares and stallions at the door who stand next to the princesses. "Hey kiddo, you know them," I ask. She nods her head happily. "Yup. They always come over to play with us, and always bring their kids with them too." I let out a grunt and return back to my normal self, not wanting them to see my soft side to much. Allison sees and giggles. Instead of them walking up to me, I walk up to them. But I get inturpted with a flash. I blink my eyes and see that we're in a library now. I hear someone clear their thoart, so I look their way. I see five stallions and a dragon giving glares, all them standing in front of the mares and princesses. "You mind explaining who you are?" The dragon says with his wings spread out wide, trying to be intimidate me. My eyes blink slowly as I give him a bored look. "No." I state simply. Then out of no where a pegasus stallion rushed up to with quick speeds, but not quick enough. In flash my instincts kick. I pull of my pistol with my magic, cock the pistol back and point it at the forehead of the pegasus. He's stopped mid-flight, and stares wide eyed at the weapon pointed at his head. "Move another inch and I'll blow your head to bits." I say threateningly to him, but as uausal Allison catches my bluff and scolds me. "Daddy! Stop being so mean, and leave Flash alone, and put that gun away now!" I sigh and put my pistol away. Allison looks to Flash Sentry with a apologetic look. "Sorry Flash, he gets overprotective." "Y-Ya, I c-can see that, but what the heck was that thing that he pointed at me?" He says look looking a little spooked. "That was a weapon from his world." Luna says. "His world? What you mean by that?" A southern stallion asks the Luna. Luna tells the everyone how I ended up here, and what me and Allison use to be. She talks about my memory, and how everything went on in it. A few tears shredded here and there. The stallions and mares relaxing knowing the way I act is because I don't want to lose Allison again. Then she talks about my weapons and how they work and what they do. Some of the stallions seemed interested in my weapons, but were on edge when I showed them my weapon again. This got the girls giggling at how scared they were. Then after that Gleaminh Shield poofs into a stallion; He's been a stallion, but Cadence put a spell on him because he left his daughter Flurry Heart all by herself in the castle not once but twice. The princesses were all treating him like a mare, and even started calling him princess. This got the mares and stallions to laugh up a storm which got Allison to laugh with them as well. Me though, I just kept my dead fish eye look. After all that was done with it, I introduced myself and they introduced themselves. The names I know so far are Princess Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, FlutterShy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Flash Sentry, Golden Delicious, Soarin, Spike, Pokey Pierce, Gleaming Shield who is now Shining Armor, and this crazy mismatched guy who's name is Discord. His voice sounds so familiar from somewhere, but I can't my hoof on it. We all talk for a bit, but as usual I don't say much. I just play with Allison and the rest of the kids of the mares and stallions. They seem to smile at how I'm so caring with the kids. I quickly tell to them buzz off which they just laugh. I'm deep in thought at the moment, something that I'm suppose to do at the castle, but what was it. My thoughts and the ponies conversation gets stop adruplty from the door being kicked opened. Brave Heart stands at the door, no armor, mane sticking out in odd angles and has this crazed look in her eye. She's breathing heavily as she looks around the room. Her eyes snap onto me, her eyes narrmowing as she grits her teeth. She walks up me fuming the whole way. The mares and stallions moving aside, scared of the mare that stomps her way towards me. She stops in front of me, her eyes narrowing into slits. "So......you thought you can just bail on me and not tell me you were coming here, hmm?" She says with her muzzle inches away from mine. A small bit of fear tingles up my spine as I look into her golden soul piercing eyes. "No I didn't bail on you. I had to find my daughter, so I came here to Ponyville and get her." I say trying now to stutter out in fear or try to even show it. This mare might be smaller than me, but fuck, she sure damn is scary. Her eyes widen and see steps back. "You have a d-daughter?" She says with sadness in her voice. I nod my head. This gets her to slump her head down and her ears to fold back. "So that m-means your t-taken already?" She says softly. I raise a brow, "I'm not taken. This is just my adoptive daughter." I state simply. Her head springs back up with a bright smile, and launches herself onto my chest. She nuzzles her face onto my chest fluff and sighs happily. "Then that means your all mine." She says in possessive way, as she grips herself onto my body. I feel my face warming up, so I'll away from everybody so no one can see. But Allison has to be the one to rat me out on my flushed face. "Daddy?! Are you blushing?!?!" She blurts out in a surprised manner. Everyone looks my way, but I don't say anything and keep my head to the side. Brave Heart looks up at me but I don't look at her. Brave Hearts P.O.V I look up at him with sparkling hope in my eyes; Wanting to know if he really likes me. His face is turned the other way so I can't see his blushing face. "Reyes, please look at me." I see his eyes shift my way but he doesn't budge. Then he looks my way entirely, his muzzle flushed in a deep red, as he looks into my eyes. I send a cheeky grin his way knowing that he does like me. "So you do like me, uh? Don't try hiding it cause you blushing gives it away." I say with a giggle. He just sighs, as every mare lets out 'aww's'. I nuzzle into Reyes's fluffy chest, a blush now sneaking into my muzzle. I know he likes me, but he's to ignorant to show it. Oh I can't wait to tell the girls back at the barracks. They'll be jealous of me getting at him first.
