Dishonored magic
Missing, the forest, the castle, pain, and the Outsider
Previous ChapterNext Chapter“Where’s the princess?” I asked shocked she was gone. I was hoping to meet her. A mare was laughing and a swirl of magic forms and there is an ALICORN!!!
“Hello my subjects.” Her voice boomed through the room. Everyone cowered while I, Twilight, and the six other mare we met today stand tall. I place my mask on my face and twirled my sword and had blink at the ready.
“Where’s Princess Celestia!?” Rainbow yelled and tried to fly to the mare.
“Does my crown no longer count? Do you know who I am?” She asked. Two guards of shadows show up.
“I know who you are!” Exclaimed Twilight. “Your the mare in the moon Nightmare Moon!”
“So somepony recognizes me. Then you know why I’m here”
“Your here to... to...”
She laughed maniacally and said “Remember this day my little ponies for it was your last!”
“Get her only she knows where the princess is!” Expamed the mayor.
The shadow guards clashed swords with the sun guards. The sun guards lose. Of course they would. I won agent them with easy to block tactics.
I blink to the stallion shadow guard and cover his muzzle with my left hand and thrust my sword under his head. The blade protracted out the top of his head. I then blink above the mare shadow guard and twirl my blade counter clockwise and put it away. I make a fist with my right hand and cover the left side of the fist with my other hand. I slam my fist on the top of her head and we plummet to the ground with me on top. She faces me and we hit the ground. I grab the side of her head and slammed it into the ground. She’s now unconscious. I face Nightmare Moon. Using far reach, I grab her and pull myself closer to her, but I stop midair and my magic is displayed for all to see. “FUCKING PONY MAGIC!!!” I exclaime while in midair.
“So this is your magic. But you have no horn. How?” She asked curiously. “Even so I don’t know how you got here.”
“Ya, you said that human can’t use magic. So how do you have magic?” Asked Twilight a little angry at me.
“Do you know how I got here?”
“Yes, you said there was an explosion at your work and you were blasted back and saw nothing but why do you want to know.” Why did I lie to them.
“Actually I was at a school.”
“Were you a teacher?”
“I was a student in high school. Before I came here I was 13, but now I’m 21. My job was running on the rooftops and looking for criminals. One held my class as hostages. I almost killed him because of instinct. He was alive and had a bomb on him. He pressed the detester and exploded.”
“Ok so you were thrown back?”
“No... I was a foot away from the bomb. After the explosion I was bleeding heavily and died after a while. You’ll see who gave me the powers soon.”
They were stunned to know I died. That is why I hid it. Wonder how they will react to the Outsider. All I need is a rune.
“The person who gave me my power is also dead, but I’m the only one he chose me to dawn his power. I’m the only human that has magic. And Twilight when you saw me in pain earlier to day that was me getting my mark to use the magic.”
Hopefully she won’t hate me. If she does i don’t blame her. She is now family to me now, I love her. Thank you, Outsider for sending me here. Nightmare Moon shoots me off and I’m sent through the wall and the branches of the library. I get back up. My sniper. I grab it and run to the town hall. I open the door, quietly. I peek inside. Nightmare is gone, but she left a shadow guard and he was about to he... IS ABOUT TO KILL TWILIGHT!!! I aim my sniper at his head and pull the trigger.
CRACK
The guards head exploded and he disappeared. Everyon- er pony turned to me. They stared in awe. I help Twilight up and she gives me a hug before we head to the library.
“Elements. Elements. Where is it?” She said to no pony in particular. The other six mates enter the building and Rainbow tried to hit me. I dogged with gusto. She almost hit Twilight but I grab her tail and she flops to the ground.
“The Elements of Harmony, a refrains guide.” Said pinkie pie as I found out earlier. Twilight booted pickie a way and she went flying.
“Where are did you find it?” Twilight asked.
“It was under E~.” Pinkie said in a sing song tone.
Twilight raid it and she said it was in the of the two sisters. In the ever free forest. The rest are scared. It’s a forest. What’s so scary.
“I’m going in alone.”
“I’m sorry, but we can’t let ya do that, Twi.” Said Applejack.
“I can’t let you do that.” I said walking beside her with a serious expression. “I know from personal experience that it’s good to have somepony with you. And because last time I did stuff alone I got killed, so I’m coming with you. My skills can be useful. Among other things.” I say pointing at my mark. They seem to get what I’m saying.
“Why are you sacred. It’s just a forest.” Twilight asked in confusion.
“Your right. Let’s go!” Pinkie exclaimed. She bounced, not waked, to the forest before AJ grab her collar.
“Are y’all sure we have to do this, sugarcube. Eternal nigh- hay wait!” She tried to back out, but with no sun. We would all die. I walk in and the rest follow.
“It a forest. what’s so scary?” I ask scanning for threats.
“Ponies say those that walk in never comeback.” She explains in a scared tone.
“Where do they go?” Twilight asks.
“No pony knows.” Rainbow said in a “scary” tone.
“It did- o come on, really?” I say looking at there faces. There scared of what she said. Not of the tone, but of the unknown.
“Quit it Rainbow. The forest is untamed.” She explains losing her fear with each word.
“They say: the clouds move on there own and the animals take care of them selves.” Said Futtershy gaining fear with each word.
“Sounds like my world. So I feel right at home here.” I say with a little chuckle at the end.
“So how can you tell what the weather is going to be like?” Rainbow asked. She is vary interested.
“Well once we got a man on the moon, we began getting men and women in to orbit and we have unmanned satellites in orbit to.” I explaine. There mouths are agape. “What?”
“You got somepony on the moon?” She asked. I just remembered that they don’t have rockets. And Nightmare Moon was banned by magic using the Elements of Harmony.
“Well ya. We haven’t done it in years and we’re already working on a way to go to different planets in our solar system.” Why did I continue. I’m so fucked.
Just before the other can ask a question, the ground collapse and we fall. I’m hanging on to the edge for dear life. Same with Twilight, but she loses her grip and fell. AJ for the win. AJ caught her before she fell. I see Rainbow and Fluttershy comeing towards Twilight. Applejack tells Twilight to let go and said she would be perfectly safe. Twilight reluctantly does so and falls for one second and is caught by the two pegasi. Fluttershy slips a little, but Twilight is safely on the ground. I let go and use far reach on the closest pony I see. It was Twilight. I forgot that I slam into the per- er pony, but it’s to late. We slam into each other and we go flying. I twiste my body so I’m facing the ground and I take most of the damage, luckily for me she knows healing spells so I’m fine. She has a minor cut on her leg which is a quick fix and a relief. I have all my ribs broken and a broken arm. There fixed in a mater of seconds.
Well Applejack was honest about being safe. *sigh* I knew Rainbow was the boastful type. I could tell by the way she dressed and talked. But I hope I was wrong. I was right, she is the boastful type.
“- A lopped around and caught you in the nick of time. Ha ha.” She boasted. I unload my dessert eagle, and pulled the side back some to make sure there wasn’t a bullet in the camber.
“John, what are you doing?” Ask Fluttershy gaining the attention of the rest. I put the gun in my mouth ignore the horrible tast and pull the trigger. There was a loud click.
“Rainbow please stop or I’m going to load this gun and paint the ground red.” I say. The rest looked confused, but Twilight and Applejack look in horror at me. They explain to the rest and there mortified. I let out a laugh and say: “I’ve already died once I’m not going to die again.” I don’t even try to hide my humor.
A beast comes out a large bush and attacks. I saw the thorn in it’s paw and see a dark blue hue to it. I won’t attack, dut I’ll take the others before they get hit. After getting kicked in the face by Rarity the beast roars and she fates. I blink to her and blink away from danger. Ok. I’ll take them out of trouble. AJ gets on top of the beast and rides it. THE TALE HAS A SCORPION STINGER. Must have stronger poison. The tale is going to his AJ with a horizontal swing hitting her with the stinger. I use far reach and pull her off before getting her.
“Wait.” Fluttershy said meekly. No pony hear her. “Wait.” She repeats. I hear her. The others are to far away. She zoomes past them. “WAIT!!!” She exclaims. They all stop.
“What are you doing Fluttershy. Move!” Commanded Rainbow.
“No.” I like this new found assertiveness. “Hay there little guy.”
“Little?” Rainbow and I say at the same time.
“What’s wrong.” The beast shows its paw. “How it’s just a little thorn.”
“A LITTLE THORN!THAT CAN KILL US!!!” I exclaim pissed at her under exsaturation.
She ignores me and continue. “Here you go.” The beast roars at her.
“Fluttershy!” We all exclaim.
The beast licks her over and over and leaves. “How did you know about the thorn.” Asked Twilight. The mist that was around it vanished after Fluttershy stoped the rest. Is Moon trying to kill us or is she trying to get us to leave.
“I didn’t. We all just need to be shown kindness.” She explained. We walked of and the trees grew faces. I fell in s hole and was unconscious. Well shit. At least the Outsider help me wake up. It took a few minutes but it worked. I was being carried by Twilight’s magic. She told me what happened when I went unconscious. Pinkie’s song and the faces disappearing. I’m lost at this point I’ll walk where they walk now. My head hurts trying to comprehend this.
The water is raging. This is going to be hard to pass and it’s to far for blink and far reach. Damn. Wait there’s a serpent in the water. He’s creating the waves. Pfft that mustache is weird. Well so is holding in a laugh about it. It seems I’m at an impass. Fuck. He’s crying because somepony cut off half of his mustache. Rarity said it is important that it’s complete. She tore off one of his scales and cut her tale off. She attached it to his mustache (ro what’s left of it). The river stopped raging and the serpent helped us across.
The castle is in sight. Almost there. FUCK! The bridge is down. Kill me for my luck. Wait... Rainbow dash offered to fix the bridge. We don’t see her for some time. Damn this fog. The bridge lifts from this side. I presume it was Rainbow. We walk across and I was right. We walk in and a pedestal risen from the ground. There sat the Elements of Harmony. Twilight tries to start a spark to get the sixth element to appear. It doesn’t work and Twilight and I are teleported away.
When the travel was finished Twilight was unconscious. I wasn’t and I unfolded my sword and readied my blink ability. There she was. That bitch Nightmare moon. “So you found me. Hew do you expect to beat me?” She asked like it was rhetorical.
“By cutting you throat open.” I replied. My determination overwhelmed my sentence. Then I knew failing wasn’t an option. She summons her own sword. I blink and swing my sword at her. She blocks it and I jump back. She goes for a under-head swing. I back step and I’m cut on the leg. Damn it hurts. I go for a stab after blinking. She side steps and swings over head. It cut off my right arm. I scream at the top of my lungs. She summed an explosion under me. My left leg is cut off. I scream again. She swings again it cuts through my right side of the jaw and the bone is cut to. Glad I turned my head so i didn’t lose my jaw. Still hurt like a mother fucker. She stabs her blade in my stomach and cuts it open. I’m now spitting up blood. She grabs my collar and drags me to the entry way and grabs my sword. She lifts me until I’m against the wall, five inches off the ground. My left shoulder feel aments pain as it’s stabbed my sword. My small intestines fall to the ground. I want to sleep, but I resist it. I try to scream but it comes out as gurgles. Twilight wakes up and tries to get to the elements. Moon gets there first and destroys them. I hear the other five as they walk in. I try to yell. Gurgles again. Only Fluttershy heard it. Oh no. Why her. She turned to me and screams. The rest follow suit and see me. Some tear up and other scream. Pinkie’s hair deflates and cries. I reach my arm out, my only arm now. And they began balling their eyes out. But something red catches my eye. The health vile. It can probably fix me. I look where Twilight is and she stared at me wide eyed. Like the rest she turnes away. I use far reach on the vile and it comes to me. I pop the glass quirk on my sword. I pore it into what was left of my mouth. I heal.
My arm comes back first. I use it to take out the sword. My leg comes back before I hit the ground. My small intestines slither back into my stomach. And my jaw comes back last. After using that far reach I’m drained so I use a blue vile. My mark glows brighter. I feel my powers return. I walk to Twilight unpronounced to anypony and give her a hug. It looked like she needed it.
“John?” She asked holding back sobs.
“Yes Twilight, It’s really me.” I Answer already knowing what she was going to ask. She returns the hug. I move her muzzle to face me and we lock in a kiss. We separate and ask: “Is this enough to convene you I’m me?”
“John!” She yelled getting everyponies attention. The other s five gasp and Moon looks scared. She and I feel something. The spark. We stand up holding each other hand. And she named off the elements to who they represent. Loyalty to Rainbow dash. Honestly to Applejack. Kindness to Fluttershy. Generosity to Rarity. Laughter to pinkie pie. But the sixth element was magic and that went to my mare Twilight sparkle. A beam hits Nightmare moon. I seem to notice this the two alicorns on the ground.
“You did it my little ponies.” Said a regal voice. A white orb enters the castle an there is a white alicorn in a white dress. She is way taller than any other pony I know. She notices one of the Alicorns and goes to her and I walk to the other. I stand above the other. “We were supposed to rule together sister.” She said.
“SISTER!!!” We all yell at the top of our lungs. I began to spit up blood. Fuck, got to take it easy. I cough a little to get the blood out. Everypony turns to face me. The two alicorns look at me with shock. I us far reach to grab my sword. The the white one looks at my hand and looks like she recognizes it. I have the blade in my hand, but I can’t kill her. She’s Nightmare Moon, but she looks like she’s four years old. I sigh and have my left side facing the two sisters. I twirl my sword counter clockwise and it collapses. I pick her up and everypony gasps.
“Let’s go.” I say coldly. We exit the forest to see the town waiting there. The white alicorn walks up to me.
“That mark, where did you get that mark?” She asked looking angry.
“A friend gave it to me when I died on my world. Along with this mark he gave me life.” I explain still the sleeping Nightmare in my arms.
“We’ve seen that mark on something before and never found out. It became top secret. So tell me, Who. Gave. It. To you?” She asked in a stern voice.
“Was the object circular?” I asked giving her a shocked expression.
“Yes. Why?”
“Let me see it.”
She teleports it to her and gave it to me. IT’S A RUNE! I stare shocked at her and it quickly turns to excitement. “How many do you have?”
“Two. Why?” She look startled now.
“Let me see the other.” She looks at me skeptical and summons the other one. I take it and it’s enough for wind blast. I’m forced back and slide on the ground. I get up and open my eyes. It’s the outsider.
“Hello John. You found two of my runes and sents I’m nice, you can choose two new powers.” He said oblivious to everypony present.
“You know one of them and the other is wind blast.” I say. I wanted the bend time ability. But I’ll use it if I need it. It’s that sound again. I’m a man of my word. I’ll kill if he tries to hurt anypony. He tries to kill the princess now. Ok, no mercy. I use blink and block his attack. Next I use wind blast and he goes flying. Last I use bind time and everything freezes. I grab his collar. I stop the ability and I put on my mask. I twirl my sword clockwise and it extends. I place it agented his throat. I cut it open and throw him to the floor. He bleeds out. Every one looks at me in shock. The Outsider claps his hands.
“Your a man of your words and this is your first kill good for you. Right now you wish he listened so he would die. Good use of the bind time ability to. You learn quick.” The Outsider said with a sense of pride at his choice. They all look at me. “Oh where are my manners?”
“One mile that way.” I say earning a chuckle from Twilight.
“Ignoring that. I’m the Outsider.” He introduces him self.
“I’m Princess Celestia ruler or now co- ruler of equestria. This is my sister Princess Luna. Who are you.” Celestia said looking at me. The fight catches up with me and I buckling on to my knees. I cough up blood. “Are you ok!?”
“Yes, the fight with this mare is going to take some time to heal. Even if that position made my arm and leg grow back. Oh I’m John Mavericks.” I say a little bit of me is wondering if Nightmare is ok. I give her to celestia. “Before you ask, I’m human. Can you take her with you i certainly can’t, Celestia. ” Everypony gasps at what I said. “What?”
“I’ll be off now. Remember John you can now call me if you need me.” The Outsider before disappearing.
“You didn’t use princ-“ Said Twilight before being cut off by a guard.
“YOU.” It’s the one that’s ass I kicked. “You are under arrest for attacking a guard.”
“Is this true?” Asked the Celestia.
“Ya, I thought they would be more of a challenge, but they aren’t. And you attacked me first so self defense. You really need to train your guards better Celestia.” I say.
She chuckles a little. “Ok. But that power. How did you get it?” She asked.
“I’ll tell you later.” I walk to Twilight and grab her hand and walk away. She notices it, so does everypony else. Celestia smirks.
“Treat her well, John. Treat her well.” We walk in the library and I turn to Celestia and nod yes. We finally, after a long night, walk into the library together. The door closes. Sleeping off the stress of the night.
