The Mute Mercenary

I was waiting for the white unicorn finish her rant about how 'awful' my armor was. She was about to complain about my helmet when the orange mare put a hoof in her mouth. “Rarity, Ah think we get the point.” She said before letting her mouth go.

Now that that's out of the way, I think we should get to know each other. I messaged them causing everyone but Twilight and Fluttershy to jump at it.

“That’s how he communicates everypony.” Twilight said trying to assure them.

“Don’t worry girls, he’s very nice, even though he does mean things.” Fluttershy told them with a warm smile. “This is Slaughtermaster.” She said introducing me, but they all had looks of fear in their eyes as soon as my codename was said.

“S-s-Slaughtermaster?” The white unicorn said slowly backing away from me.

Do not worry little unicorn. I will not hurt the innocent. I said trying to calm them down. Now, what are your names?

They all looked at each other and nodded, then the orange mare walked up to me. “Mah name's Applejack.” She said with a smile before grabbing my hand and shaking it furiously. I will admit, she is strong for a pony. She noticed that my hand did not move as much as she expected and let go before tipping her hat a bit. “Wow, yer grip is strong. That says a lot about somepony.” She said before she backed up and I saw the white pony walk up to me.

“Rarity darling, although I do not like your attire, I will admit that you seem like a nice.....creature. Forgive me for my rudeness earlier.” She said before slowly backing away again.

It is alright. I too would proceed with prejudice if I met something intimidating. I told her and nodded in understanding.

The rainbow maned pegasus flew up to me with a cocky grin. “I’m Rainbow Dash, the fastest flyer in all of Equestria.” She gloated and I spoke.

That arrogant behavior will cause a lot of trouble for you. Believe me, I knew a few people like you. I told her and she looked at me and tried to speak, but I stopped her before she could. But I do not doubt your claims. And take my advice before you brag again, prove that you are the best. Only then can you gloat.

She looked at me with her mouth agape before she nodded in understanding and flew back. I looked toward the others and saw that they had approving looks on their faces.

I then saw the pink pony bounce up to me and she spoke. Very, VERY, quickly. “HimynamesPinkiePie.It’sreallynicetomeetyouSlaughtermaster.Heydoyoulikeparties?Ilikeparties.I’llthrowyouawelcometoanotherplanetparty,andwe’llhavecake,cupcakes,ice cream,andevenpartygames.And-“ She was stopped by me when I put a hand over her mouth, but she was STILL talking.

Twilight looked at me with a sheepish look and grabbed Pinkie with her magic. “Sorry Slaughtermaster, Pinkie always does this when she meets somepony new.” She apologized before I shook my head.

It is Fine. She just reminds me of a friend of mine. Someone really, really, REALLY, annoying. I said thinking about a certain mercenary that wore red and black spandex with swords and guns.

The purple unicorn then walked up to me. “Hello Slaughtermaster. My name is Starlight Glimmer.” Starlight introduces before I nod my head.

It is very nice to meet you all. I said getting up and stretching. I saw even more looks of fear when they saw my height. I towered over them easily. Hell I could even accidentally step on them. I looked around and even heard my bones cracking from my neck and even heard more bones popping. They all flinched at each sound before I sat down and looked at them.

Now, what is a party? Do you mean a group of others? I asked Pinkie causing everyone to gasp.

“Y-you don’t know what a party is!?” Pinkie gasped before she was literally at my helmet. “That’s HORRIBLE!” She said dramatically. “We need to throw you a party ASAP.”

I tilted my head in confusion. What is a party though? I asked.

“Only the most amazing thing ever! You spend time with friends and family and play games while eating food.” Pinkie said before she hugged me. “You poor thing. Auntie Pinkie will throw you a party today.” She said confusing me even more.

Auntie? But I’m way older than all of you. I said making them give me questioning looks.

“How old are you darling?” Rarity Asked.

Thousands Of years old. I said making them gasp. I wasn’t lying. I was cursed by Satan AND God to walk the Earth for all eternity, to never know Death. But I wasn’t the only one they cursed. There was another human being, a psychopath, a master of Genocide. But I will think about him later.

“T-that’s impossible. Nopony can exist for that long except the princesses.” Twilight exclaimed in pure disbelief.

It is all true. I’m cursed by very powerful deities to never know Death. Now, tell me, what IS a party? I asked before getting a giggle from Pinkie.

“You’ll see.” She said before zooming away to leave and outline of her made of dust.

'Yep, definitely like Deadpool.' I thought to myself before I saw Rainbow Dash point at my most prized possession.

“What’s that thing?” She asked with curiosity.

My weapon. Don’t touch it. I said holding it out and got looks of awe from everyone

“Woah.” They all said at the same time before I put it back on my back.

I know right? I made it myself. I said making them go wide eyed before I saw something go off on my motion tracker Something’s coming I said seriously making them worry and saw five more red dots on the tracker. Hostiles. I got up and walked outside much to the dismay of the others as Fluttershy was worried about my bleeding, but I dismissed her by walking towards the entrance of the forest I came from. I heard a low growl and heard the orange pony speak.

“Timberwolves.” She said with a slight bit of fear in her voice.

“We need to run!” Twilight exclaimed and tried to get everyone to safety, but I stood firm and cracked by knuckles. “Slaughtermaster, they’re Timberwolves. Very dangerous monsters.” She screamed. I turned my head to face her and smiled under my helmet.

So am I.

They all looked at me in shock and awe as five wooden wolves came out of the forest. I recognized one of them immediately. It had white wood for one of its legs and had green ooze dripping out from its broken jaw.

Back for round two? I asked the wolf and got a growl in reply.

(Flashback. Slaughtermaster POV)

Where am I? The last thing I remember was being in a black hole. And......wait a minute. This isn’t Home. I looked around and saw that I was in the middle of a dark forest, surrounded by trees and saw a bunch of green eyes staring at me. I got up and heard low growling before I saw wolf like creatures made of wood come out of hiding and circle me as if I was prey. Oh that was a terrible idea.

I cracked my knuckles and took count of each one. 'Ten wolves, one me. I won’t use my weapon for this.' I thought and gave the universal sign of 'Bring it on.'

A wolf charged at me from behind, but my motion tracker already saw it coming and I grabbed it by the neck and crushed it with my hand. The other wolves backed up a bit in shock and looked at each other before two more charged at me. I smiled under my helmet and punched one square in the jaw and sent it flying into a tree. The other one managed to scratch the unarmored part of my body and cause it to bleed. I grunted in pain as I saw my blood rushing out of the cut. But that wolf’s victory was short lived as I grabbed its jaw, put my hands on both sides, and pulled them apart with ease. I then threw the carcass at another wolf and smashed another ones head with my foot as it was trying to get my legs. I heard the bark of it’s body crunching under my foot and smiled in content. But one wolf actually caught me by surprise and bit my legs making me kneel to the ground, giving the others an oppurtunity to dog pile me and claw at me or bite me. I had to admit, they have good teamwork, but they aren’t that smart. I managed to break free of the pile and crush to heads against each other before I grabbed another wolf and threw my hand down its throat to crush its insides.

The wolves proved worthy for normal combat, but they were no match for me as I ripped off the leg of another wolf and broke its jaw. After a few more minutes of decimating the wolves, I sighed in content as they were a very good way for me to take out my anger on. But I heard whimpering and saw the same wolf who’s leg I ripped off and jaw that I broke was still standing. I growled out and saw the wolf give me a death glare. But it surprised me when it started backing away into the woods and stared at me while doing so. I guess he knew that I was too strong for him to fight. I’ll give him respect for that.

(Flashback end)

I grinned under my helmet and rolled my shoulders back.

The wolf glared at me and began to circle me as the other wolves did. But this time, I pulled out my weapon and started the sawblade. One wolf was foolish enough to run towards me only for my blade to rip it to shreds from its gut. The look on the ponies faces grew to horror as I started shooting them to end it quickly. But the wolf from before still stood and walked up to me before it lowered its head. I immediately recognized it as a sign of respect and nodded.

Now go. I said with a growl as the wolf ran back into the forest. I looked at the ponies and saw that they had looks of horror mixed with awe. This was going to be a long day.
