Nova

Faked Arrest

“You know…. I can free us from here.” Nova heard Anthy say inside his head.

“No, we’re already in enough trouble as it is.” Nova replied, it was enough with wrecking Ponyville market but become fugitives? That wasn’t going to happen

“Fine then, suit yourself.” After that Anthy stopped talking and left Nova all by himself.

“I need to find a way to get him out of my body.” Anthony thought as he simply waited to arrive in the castle. He couldn’t believe he was dead, much less in Equestria.

For a moment he started to think about his family but as quick as that thought entered his mind, he quickly pushed it out. He didn’t want to think about it since it would only resurface memories, bad ones.
Right now he had other problems at hoof as he felt the carriage land and one of the guards quickly appeared in front of him.

“Come on, the princess awaits you.” The guard proceeded to pull Nova out but not before tying his wings so he wouldn’t get away.

“You know. If you would’ve listened to me, there would be no reason to tie me.” Nova tried to persuade the guards into listening to his side of the story.

“Keep talking.” The guard simply snarled back.
The guards led Nova through the castle doors and continued onto a room very well hidden from ponies that might be visiting; this is when Anthony started to worry.

“Hey! Where the hell are you guys taking me? I thought we were going with the princess?” Nova began to freak out, each hallway there were less typical guards and more war suited ponies.

“Quite, the princess hasn’t ordered your arrest, yet. But she has ordered your guys presence.” The guard explained. Much to Nova’s surprise and relief he questioned whether princess Celestia knew about Anthy or if she was referring to other ponies. He hoped it was the latter.

“In here.” One of the guards signaled a big double door that was guarded by two of the higher class guards.

“Aren’t you forgetting something?” Nova asked as he motioned his wings for attention. One of them proceeded to untying his wings.

“Thanks.” Nova said as he opened the doors, his escorts quickly left to attend other royal duties.
As soon as Nova entered the room, the first thing he noticed was the princess but shortly after he saw that there were in fact other ponies present and even what appeared to be a diamond dog.

“Hello?” Nova simply greeted, unsure of what was going on.

“Anthony. So good that you were able could join us.” Celestia said smiling at the confuse pony.

“Huh? You know my name?” Nova asked. He worried about the other ponies knowing his human name.

“Well of course. I know the name of almost everypony that lives in Equestria, bronies included. Now please, do take a seat.” She said while motioning for Anthony to sit down. Great now all the others were going to wonder what a brony was.

“I guess you must all be wondering why I have gathered you here.” In total there were 6 people present including Anthony.

“Is it because we’re all bronies?” The diamond dog was the first to suggest. He wasn’t like the ones in the show; well, not in his entirety. He had all the same traits of one, yet his hair and coat colors were very different from the typical ones in the show. His coat was bright orange with yellow and red stripped hair.

“That’s one of the reasons.” Celestia replied.

“So, all of us are bronies?” Nova thought this is great but at the same time it gave him a bad feeling.

“Then is there something wrong?” One of the ponies asked, it was a girl. It was simply given away by her voice; she was a grey unicorn with dark pink hair and matching tail.
“Not quite yet my dear Amanda, you see, out of all the new bronies all 6 of you have been chosen as Equestria’s new task team.” She said smiling, this time it was Nova who talked.

“Wait, so this means that Equestria is in trouble?” He instantly became worried, first day and already there was trouble, much like in the beginning of a season of the show.

“Not in its entirety, but you see after the last great battle that there was, with queen Chyrsalis as the leader, I fear that the elements of harmony might not be all that will save us next time. And with bronies in this world, I fear that one or a few might simply get tired and want to start a war.”

“Whoa, hold up a bit. This is my first day in Equestria and already there is trouble? Sorry but this all seems too rushed for me.” Nova quickly grew concerned about how fast things were going; all he wanted was to live a normal life but as a pony, now he’s part of a task force he didn’t even sign up for.

“Well not exactly, but please realize this is only a necessary precaution.” The princess explained. Nova wasn’t satisfied with the answer but he would talk with her after the meeting was over.

“Then what exactly are we going to be doing in the mean time?” Asked another one of the bronies that was present, he was a green unicorn with a teal mane.

“That will depend on the situation, for now I need you all to follow me for I have some more stuff I’d like to show you all.” The princess said and at the same moment the doors opened with the two soldiers standing outside.
It was at this moment when all the others had exited that Nova approached Celestia to talk more about this faked arrest she had ordered on him and how it screwed him over with his presence in Ponyville.

“Celestia, can I have a word with you?” Nova asked as he walked over to the princess.

“What seems to be the problem Anthony?” She questioned like if nothing had happened.

“Well I appreciate the fact that you chose me for this team, I’m afraid I can’t join.” He said to which the princess raised an eyebrow.

“Why are you not able to be a part of this team, if you have such an advantage over all the others?” She asked.

“I can’t because I just want a normal life; I didn’t have one back in my world so I want that to be a dream comes true here. What do you mean advantage?” Nova was surprised he had some sort of ‘advantage’ he wasn’t aware of.

“You’re the only pony I know who has another pony in his head that is completely able to live on his own if you two were separated.” She told Nova to which he simply stared at her puzzled.

“Advantage? He is no advantage I assure you princess, he is a curse! A curse I wish to someday be relieved of, something that is going to continue to torment me till I die once again.” Nova tried to keep his cool as much as possible.
Celestia simply looked at him with confusion, for her Anthy was like a gift in her eyes yet he wanted him out.

“Well, I can’t change what you think but please know that it would be great to have you onboard but if you simply want a normal life then I can’t deny you that, but, do know that you are welcome to join if you ever need so. I will send you letters from time to time to let you know of any threat that is made upon us.” She offered him a secured spot on this team but Nova wasn’t too sure yet whether he was ever going to want in on it.

“Thanks princess, I’ll think about it.” Nova simply smiled at the offer.

“Well I guess you’ll want to go back to Ponyville.” She said before teleporting him; she then resumed walking to where the other bronies were waiting.

“Oh lord.” Nova said before spewing on the street, he never knew a teleportation spell would do that to his stomach but maybe he would get used to it.
He looked up and noticed he was in an alley way. He quickly found an exit which lead to the library. He had no idea where to go, where to look for Lyra or who to ask. He was at a lost in this place and time was running out as he saw the sun starting to set in the distance.

“Come on Nova, get a move on. You have to find a place to crash at.” He thought to himself before starting to walk with no idea on where to go

“Hey!”

Author’s Note: Just wanting to let you know that even though it sounds rushed, that’s the way things have to be for the story development. Hope you guys understand.
