Bringing Anarchy
What Belongs
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI ran for what felt like hours until I came across some type of ruins, a large run-down castle to be exact. It was pretty dark with the sun down and the abnormally large moon. I don't know why I ran, to be honest. Was it because I'm afraid of the consequences of murder here? Was it because of not wanting to be looked at as a murderer in such a peaceful environment? The reasons flowed through my mind as I mindlessly walk over the crumbling bridge and into the ruins.
I entered what looked like a throne room, with a few corroding banners of a sun or moon. I sat on the stairs that lead up to the thrones and finally reflected my life. I was just trying to survive but the only way to do that is stealing and killing. But at some points, I could have spared them, let them live. I look at the mark on my hips and thought 'Was I made to cause anarchy?'. I suddenly start to hear hoofsteps, causing me to run behind one of the thrones.
I peak out to see a tall pony, the fur on the pony was a very dark blue with the mane flowing in the colors of space. "Quite a nice lodging isn't it?" the pony said causing me to shrink back down into my cover before I hear the voice again "I knoweth thou art behind the throne" I suddenly get nervous as I peak out again to the dark pony in front of the throne.
"Nay needeth to beest dainty, mine own dram pony," she said causing my anxiety to lower a bit. I slower inch my way out of cover to get a better look at who was confronting me. judging by the voice, the pony is female but the striking feature is the combination of horn and wings as well as the cat-like eyes and fangs in her small smile. "And who is't might thee beest, dram one"
I swallow the lump in my throat and think back to when I was learning history to remember the early English language before hesitantly answering "Black Anarchy, who might you be?"
Her facial expression changed to a mix of confusion and shock before following up my question "I am Nightmare Moon, ruler of the moon" I hear more hoofsteps coming our way so I slowly back up behind the throne, I peak out again to see the 6 girls I met staring at the princess with fury before the moon Princess shouted "I shalt showeth'r Equestria in darkness and th're is nothing thee can doth to stand ho me."
"You may think that but we have all something in common," Twilight says before each pony pulled out a small crystal before placing them on the ground.
I recoil in awe as I see the 6 crystals levitate and began spinning around their respective owners, unfortunately, the crystals fell to the ground and shattered causing everyone to gasp with the exception of Nightmare Moon "You fool! You think crystals can stop me?" she began a menacing laugh before her horn started to glow.
She aimed the horn at the group, obviously charging a harmful spell causing me to kick into overdrive and run up behind Nightmare before jumping onto her. I bite into her jugular, drawing blood from the pressure. She shakes me off causing me to fly towards the group "Doth thee bethink a measly biteth shall do hurt me?" I slowly get up and say "For a bit, yeah. But I know something that will." I draw my pistol and fire two rounds at her forelegs, both bullets hitting my targets causing Nightmare Moon to fall forward.
I turn around to the 6 ponies and ask "Can you finish it?" They nod so I step aside with my pistol at ready as they did their ritual.
"We don't need crystals, the elements are inside us," Twilight says before a bright flash emits from the group, my head gets heavy as those thoughts appear again but I easily shake them off as I continue to watch.
My companions had necklaces around their necks with exception to Twilight who says "We are friends, we are family, we are the Elements of Harmony!" A tiara appears on her head before her eyes flash white. They begin to levitate before a large rainbow beam travels up and drops down onto the Princess causing her to scream in agony while shouting "Nay, this can't beest happening! I shall maketh Equestria liveth in the night forever! foreveeeeer!" everything turns to a blinding white for a few seconds before my vision clears, allowing me to see.
I see a much smaller version Nightmare Moon was, still with the two wounds in her legs. I stay back as I watch Twilight and her friends walk toward the Ruler of the moon, I was about to step forward when another tall pony seem to come out of nowhere so I quickly hide behind one of the corroded pillars.
"Princess Celestia!" I hear Twilight shout so I cautiously peek around the pillar to see Twilight run up and hug 'Princess Celestia' causing my awareness to go down but I didn't want to stay long so I began to creep my way towards the exit but unfortunately, as I was about to exit, I was all of a sudden surrounded by a yellow aura as I was pulled backward against my will.
I began to rotate as the group came into view both princesses standing behind the six girls "Ummm... I have nothing to do with this?" I said with a nervous expression hopefully I won't be punished for injuring a royalty as well as the events earlier.
Princess Celestia giggles before saying "Don't worry, you're not in trouble" I swallow the lump in my throat as I look at all of them. "Twilight spoke of the Incident earlier and as I wish it was dealt with a different way, at least my little ponies are safe" she flashes a smile causing me to calm down due to the fact that I won't be hanged for murder. I was released from the magical grip as I fall to the ground softly.
I look at the blue mares scarred legs, wondering how they healed so quickly but quickly thrown that thought out of my head as I said "Sorry about shooting your legs and all Ms?"
She chuckles before saying "Don't worry about it, and the name is Princess Luna."
I nod and ask "What now?"
Princess Celestia smiled and said "Let's get out of here" before charging up a spell
She was interrupted by Pinkie who shouted, "WAIT!"
Celestia stopped the spell and ask "What is the matter?"
Pinkie pointed at me and said, "Since teleporting causes a bright flash, we can't do it with him. He has PTSD, due to his world being wiped out by these things called 'Atomic Bombs' and we can't have this poor thing" Pinkie wrapped an arm around me before continuing "Having another panic attack."
Both the Princesses seemed to tilt their heads at what she said before saying "Oh... I guess we can walk and you can tell us a bit about who you are"
I nod as everyone started walking as I stuck behind with the two Princesses. We exit the castle ruins before Princess Luna says "Stay wary of your surroundings, who knows what's out here at this time" I quickly use my magic grip to pull back the bolt on my Tar-21, earning a yelp from Twilight who looked over her shoulder giving me a glare before she aimed her head forward.
"Names Black Anarchy by the way," I say
Celestia smiled before asking "What was it like where you are from?"
frown as sad thoughts filled my mind before saying "It was nice for 12 years. I had a good childhood, a nice family. Another country waged war on us which caused more countries to get involved either with us or against us, soon the war ended but not without around 19,000 Atomic Bombs being launched around the world."
The emotion on both of the Princesses faces changed to sadness but also confusion before asking "What is an Atomic Bomb?"
I answer immediately "An Atomic Bomb is a bomb of course except its bigger than your average cannonball, one could wipe out a city in an instant. not only is it extremely big but it leaks this particle called radiation which is very harmful to be around unless you have the appropriate equipment."
They seemed very shocked but they went back to frowns before Luna asked: "I'm guessing the bright flash is what caused your PTSD?"
I nod before sighing and continuing "We somewhat deserved it to some extent, we were killing our planet slowly but our government didn't care. All they want is money and power" I hang my head down as we walked for a few minutes in silence.
Luna broke the silence once more "What are those contraptions strapped to you?"
I look at both my firearms before saying "Guns, a weapon also created for war but also in self-defence. The box at the back of the gun holds a small arrow called a bullet which fires a small lead projectile at fast speeds toward your target, incapacitating or killing them depending on where you aim. I always ended up on the wrong side of the gun, people robbing my possessions or tried to at least."
We reached the small town where we split ways, the Princesses teleport away and everyone goes home. I follow Fluttershy to her cottage in silence, we enter through the front door and was greeted by all her little pets and such. I face plant onto the couch, exhausted causing a stifled laugh coming from Fluttershy, she says "goodnight"
I replied with a muffled "Nighty Night" earning another giggle from Fluttershy before I hear her walk up to her bedroom and all the critters crawl into their hiding spots.
'At least I still have my sense of humour' I thought to myself as I passed out.
