Unwanted Company
Previous ChapterNext ChapterChapter 1: Unwanted Company
Lyra and Nova headed to a cafe that was nearby, soon after their arrival we were seated on one of the tables that was outside, it was okay, all Nova wanted was to eat something.
After a few minutes they had ordered their desired dishes and were left to talk.
“So...” Nova was the first to break the silence none of them had really said anything on our way here.
“So... Where are you from?” Lyra asked looking at him with wonder.
“Um...” He wasn't quite sure how to approach the answer, he can't just go all out and say that he is from a totally different world, that would only make him sound crazy.
“I'm from... Canterlot!” Nova said, Canterlot being the first thing he thought off.
“Really? You're from Canterlot?” She asked to make sure she heard right.
“Yeah, why so amazed?” He asked smiling at her.
“No I mean it's just strange, not many pegasi live there.” She said taking a sip from her beverage that the waiter had just brought them. It wasn't until this moment that Nova really noticed what colors or race he was, he took a quick peek at himself and noticed he was dark blue with a long spiky tail that was green with purple, he quickly liked it since he really looked like my OC.
“Yeah well that's mainly why I moved here, those ponies were too fancy for my tastes.” Nova knew he might as well lie about the cause.
“Same here.” She said turning to look at him. “Can I ask you something else?”
“Sure, go ahead.” He said taking a quick sip of his drink.
“What is you're cutie mark supposed to represent?” She said pointing at it with one of her hoof, he barely noticed it himself but it appeared to be those ancient Greek theater masks from the plays and all that.
“Um that thing... It represents... um...” Think fast retard. “To be honest I don't quite remember, I guess that fall did affect me after all.” he laughed weakly unsure of what to say about it, he had no idea he would even have one right off the bat.
“Oh well, I guess you'll remember later.” Right as she finished the waiter came back with their food, it was being held by his horn, he ordered the only thing that seemed appetizing, a simple daisy sandwich.
The rest of the time they spent eating went by rather slow and silent, none of them talked until they were done. They got up, Nova reached into his saddlebag and grabbed the required bits to pay for the food, after that they were out of the cafe.
“Thank you again, for saving me.” Nova said as they both stood outside unsure of what to do.
“No problem, I'm sure any other pony in this town would've done the same.” She said smiling. “Anyway where are you staying? I mean considering you're new in town.”
“To be honest, I don't have anywhere to stay, I was actually planning on staying up all today look for a good place to settle down.” Nova said this also being a lie as he had no idea where to even look for a house and how much one would even cost to rent.
Lyra just stayed silent as she seemed to be thinking for a minute before finally speaking out.
“Well if you want... You could maybe; I don't know spend the necessary time at my place.” She seemed to be blushing slightly but he didn't give much importance.
“Do you mean it?” He asked her.
“Yeah. No problem what so ever.” She assured him, I just did what felt natural yet I haven't done it in years, I walked up to her and gave her a quick hug she didn't freak out which was great.
“Well first there are a few things I have to do.” She said as they broke the hug.
“No problem in fact I'm willing to help if you need it.” Nova said smiling at how well things were going so far.
“Okay, first stop is the market, I’ve got to pick up a few things.” She said turning around and getting ready to walk he simply nodded and followed her.
Everything was going fine they made various stops throughout all Ponyville which was a huge bonus for Nova that way he could get to know the place when he actually started living by himself, so far both of them had passed the library and what Nova could guess was Rarity's boutique.
“And... Done, this was the last stop for the day, time to head to my home.” Lyra said as she walked out a herbal store turning around to look at Nova
“Nova? You okay?” She waved her hoof in front of me but I didn't react.
“YOU FUCKING SON OF A BITCH PIECE OF SHIT!” Anthy said as he kicked Anthony to the ground, he had forgotten about him and was sure he wouldn't come with him.
“Out of all the fucking places you knew, you chose this fucking pony-infested world.” He said pinning Nova down to the floor.
“Get the hell off me!” he said trying to break free.
“Oh you want to get up? LET ME HELP YOU!” He then threw Nova across from where he was with his magic which he had just only noticed until he got up, if he was dangerous before, now with magic? Nova also noticed he looked like him, only difference being he had a dark red coat instead of a dark blue one like him.
“Why man? Why the fuck would you be such a PUSSY and choose this world?” He asked Nova, he was really pissed.
“It may not mean anything to you but understand, I don’t plan on stopping at all, I want this shit forever man.” Nova replied wiping his lip which had started bleeding from the kick.
“Can’t you see? I’m easily bothered by the system one step from lashing at you. ” Nova quickly flew over to him rather fast actually and grabbed him by the neck before lifting him from the ground.
“I want a normal life like a new born child, I am a lover hater, I am an instigator, you are an oversight, don’t try to compromise, I learn to love to hate you, I am not integrated!” He don't know where he got the strength to talk to Anthy like that but he wasn't going to let him mess up what had barely started.
He used his rear hoofs to kick Nova directly in the stomach, causing him to release him instantly.
“If you feel so empty, so used up, so let down.” He said using his magic to engulf Nova and smash me into the ground. “If you feel so angry, so ripped off, so stepped on.” He continued his combo of hits and magic attacks before sending him across from where he stood. “You're not the only one refusing to back down you're not the only one ,so get up.” Nova stood up, slowly, but surely, on his two hind legs.
“Now I'm naked, nothing but an animal but can you fake it, for just one more show?” Nova asked, teasing him so he would make the first move.
“Agony is the price that you’ll pay in the end...” He teleported right in front of Nova, but he was quick enough to lay the first move by knocking him down
“Now we’re far from home, spending time alone, it’s time to set my demons free!” Nova said giving him another hard punch in the face, for some reason it felt good, he didn't want to stop, he wanted to end him if possible, but, he used that teleportation spell to get away but it was only a few feet away.
For the first time in his life he saw Anthy away from him. Nova flew over to him and tackled him to the ground to continue. “You’re coming with me, through the aging, the fear and the strife.”
“
It ends tonight!” He said trying to free himself from Nova's grasp, he isn't winning. Not this time and not in this place.
“I am not afraid to keep on living, to walk this world alone. If you stay I’ll be forgiven, nothing you can say will stop me going.” Nova yelled at him while he grasped harder against Anthy's neck. He was getting the message to him; He could see it in his eyes.
After a few seconds of intense pressure on both and a lot struggling, Anthy hit his limit.
“Okay… I give up…” At the sound of Nova's victory he stepped off him, he got on his legs and coughed a little bit of blood.
“I ask that you understand that this isn’t earth and that things are going to be different from now on, got it?” Nova asked him, he was still coughing and simply gazed at him and nodded.
“Good.” Nova started to come back to his senses and Ponyville little by little started to come into vision once again.
“Sorry about that, had a little-“
“SEIZE HIM!” He heard a dominant voice say behind him and was shortly tackled by two other ponies.
“Wait! What’s going on!?!” Nova demanded frantically trying to free myself.
“Celestia has ordered your immediate arrest.” The guard said walking in front of him.
“But I didn’t do anything!” Nova tried to clear up things before looking around and noticing many ponies looking at him with fear, he also noticed a lot of broken market carts and windows and other things nearby.
“Did I do this?” He thought for a second. “Wait, I can explain!”
“Tell that to the princess.” He said before turning around, Nova looked around again to see if he saw Lyra, he managed to locate her..
“Nova, what was that?” She asked him frighten by what she had seen.
“Please, when I get back I’ll explain.” Nova told her but she just ran away in shock and afraid of him.
“No! Fuck!” The guards proceeded to lock him in a police like carriage and started to fly away towards Canterlot.
“God.damn.it .” Nova thought as he sat there waiting for whatever punishment was about to be handed to him.
