Chapter 4 - A Bump in the Day

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Luminous quietly teleported himself onto a bed and took comfort in the fact he was away from nearby any ponies. He sighed and rolled to the left, only to be greeted by a wall. Somehow, the wall was quite comforting. After being beaten in battle by a god, attack some ponies wearing armor, it felt nice to have a little bit of peace at the end of an irritatingly long day such as this one. He unconsciously begin to drift off into a slumber, when the creaking of a wooden door opened.

"Well, I suppose we could figure this out tomorrow." Said Rarity.

"Yes. We need to figure out if he's a threat or not. For all we know he could destroy ponyville!"

Luminous suddenly had an idea and channeled his voice into an echo and laughed with the echo active. "Pony, please. You couldn't stop this if it was the last thing you do!" He quickly switched off the echo and laughed inside the room he was in.

"Where are you?" Twilight said in a half shout, half questioning tone.

Luminous switched it back on. "In the most obvious-ok, you know what? This is lame. I'm inside your room." He yawned with echo still active.

Twilight charged up her stairs and found Luminous lying down on her bed with Celestia's warm sun as an alternative to a blanket. She took in the image before her and started asking questions. "Why did you run from the guards?"

"Come on. No "Hi there!" or, "What are you doing here?" I expected more from you." Luminous smirked.

"That doesn't matter. You could get in trouble with the authorities if you keep running from them." Twilight hastily informed.

"Haven't you ever noticed," He quickly placed his arms above him and began pointing at invisible dots. "I don't give a fuck!" He said, while pretending to shove something aside at the last word and calmly laid back down on the bed.

"There's no need for the vulgar words in here now-" Rarity suddenly felt herself being lifted off the floor and being placed back down in the living room. "How rude."

"Tell me about it." Twilight landed right next to her with an unamused face. "Well, I'll talk to him. You can go back to the boutique if you want."

"I shall. I want nothing to do with this ruffian at the moment!" She quickly turned and opened the door to allow passage, only to be nearly slammed shut.

"Luminous, can you come down here? I want to talk!" She shouted only to be greeted with a feint snoring sound. With a huff, Twilight grabbed a quill and began writing down a letter. The letter was briefly and sloppily written and it looked like it was a hastily prepared note like a kidnapping victim sending a letter for help. Suddenly, a loud "bump" could be heard from the roof. Suddenly it began making quiet, but more frequent "bumps"

"Huh. Probably just some foals throwing rocks. Better reinforce the windows." With a small glow, the windows were sustained in a barrier, making harder to crack and/or break. After the bumps stopped, a small window creaked open and a figure slowly flew in, holding a knife in its hoof. Slowly, it came closer to the bed and raised the knife. It quickly swung downwards leaving a feint "whoosh" sound as it descended

The knife was suddenly met with another piece of metal and resulted in a loud "clang". Luminous's scythe blocked the attacker's assassination attempt and resulted in a standoff between the two. "You sure you want to do that buddy? Looks like you bit off more than you could chew." The attacker increased his strength, resulting in a metallic rubbing sound as Luminous held his spot. Suddenly, his eyes glowed a bright blue and the assailant flew backwards into the wall.

Suddenly, Twilight came rushing in. "Luminous are you-" She gasped at the sight. Luminous was retracting his scythe while there was a royal guard unconscious, leaning against the wall with a small dagger next to him. "What did you do?!" Twilight shouted to Luminous.

"So, let me get this straight. You hate me so much, you would rather have me get killed then compared to knocking this guy out for a few minutes." He glared at Twilight with an expression that said, "Are you fucking kidding me?".

"I-i didn't-"

"Save it, Twilight. Let's tie this guy up and be done with it." He said in an obviously irritated tone.

Quickly a rope and a chair from downstairs floated upwards in a blue aura. The magic picked up the guard and placed him in the chair and tied him down with a nearby rope. The guard quickly came to, with a slight hissing noise.

"Hissing? It can't be... Is there another changeling attack being planned?!"

"Calm down. Let this thing speak." He said while the half conscious changeling began waking up.
