Assassin Nitro

I got the Wi-Fi up 'n runnin'! And every MLP episode up until Season 8 episode 6 is up. Huh.

I was thinking what I gotta write up in my journal while walking up to Celi's place. I'm in my normal Assassin's garb (the dark grey suit). Luna asked me to meet her there. So 2 things. One is to apologize to Celi for the punch to the face, and the second being whatever Luna has in store. I have a present for her. A revolver. It's a 6 shot, .357 magnum revolver. In Luna's letter, she said she can't send a carriage down to pick me up because that'll draw unwanted attention. Yeah, whatever you say, Moon.

The gates to the castle are... open? Strange. Anyways, walking through, I put on the mask in case of anything. And sure enough, 2 canisters rolled up to me. One was sleep gas, the other was smoke. I smirk and continue walking forwards. "'Scuse me. Pardon." I jump over a guard running to the smoke.

"Hey! Who're you?"

"I was ordered to meet Princess Luna privately. Here's her letter." I show the guard the letter, letting him know I'm welcome.

"Well, sure. Go on ahead." I nod and continue walking.

Taking off the mask and trotting in, I walk through the entire castle. It's just like how it was in the show, but slowly changing into what I saw in the S8 premiere. In front of me are 2 large doors, leading to the Throne Room. I push the doors open, and there, on her throne, was Celestia. She looked up from her throne, obviously bored, and her expression went from that of a tired pony to that of a surprised one.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" She yells, clearly pissed.

I trot up to her throne. "Princess Celestia, I'm here to apologize for my actions in Ponyville a few weeks ago."

Her expression softened, but her tone was still harsh. "How'd you get passed the guards?"

"I have been summoned by Luna. Here's the letter." I hand her the letter. She levitates it in a golden aura, reading the contents.

"Ah. Now I wonder what Luna wants with you. Well, apology accepted, Nitro."

I bow. "Now, may I know where Luna is currently?"

"Yes, she's in her room. I'll send an escort to send you up there." She whistles, and a guard comes in. The guard was orange with pink hair in the guard style. His blue eyes were sorta nervous. She notions him near, whispers in his ear, pointing to me. I'm just standing there, awkwardly.

"Alright, come with me." The guard motioned me to follow, so I bowed to Celi and followed the guard. "So you're the one we were supposed to capture? What did you do to piss of the Princess?"

"She caught me in her aura, so I had to do the only thing natural to me: punch a face. Hers was the closest."

The guard's face went from neutral to shocked, and from shocked to smug. "Aw, I wished I was in your position. I just wanna smack her 'cross the face. I kinda hate her, but I have to do this stupid job instead of what I wanted to do."

"And what did you want to do?"

"Singing. Just to rest with my fiancé back in Manehatten and sing our hearts out. Her name's Soprano. Soprano Love." The name was... wait... I was starting to sweat. "Uh... bud? You 'kay?"

I went to gulp and respond with "Yeah. I know her. I... uhh..."

"You what?" His voice was questioning.

I close my eyes shut and move my face away from him. "...I fucked her."

He stopped. "You what?" His voice was more pissed.

"I-I didn't mean to! I-I was pissed out drunk in Manehatten. Soprano was also drunk as shit, and we talked. I can't remember how we got to the subject of sex, but we did. S-she said she was horny, and wanted some dick. I can't remember anything after that, but when I woke up, I was scared shitless." I cowered into a ball and started shaking with fright. "Please don't do anything bad to me." I sounded like a little kid.

He sighed and picked me up. "C'mon now, kid. We all make mistakes, and you were drunk. Listen. If my fiancé is pregnant, I'll take care of the kid for you." I smiled slightly at that. "Come, let's go to Luna's."

"Hey, what's your name?"

"Alto Melody. Ever heard of Octavia Melody?" I nodded. "That's my sister. What's yours?"

In that split second, my mind decided it was best to tell the truth. I did just take away Soprano's virginity (she said she was a virgin a few minutes before I blacked out), so he deserves that much. "Nitro. Name's Nitro Heart."

And with that, Alto and I went to Luna's, talking shit about Celi along the way. I made a friend with one of the Royal Guards. Neat.

Knock knock knock

"Coming!"

I stood there, with Alto, at Luna's room. She opened the door, and what I saw surprised me. Her hair was in the style of her first appearance (not as Nightmare Moon) at the beginning of the series, which means it's bed head. Prolly. She was a bit tired, and she didn't seem like she was ready. But, low and behold, she was.

"Nitro! It is good to see you, friend!" She hugs me, not noting both my immediate blush, or the looks the guards were giving us. "Come, come. And you too... uhm..."

"His name's Alto." I answer to her obvious confusion.

"Yes. Alto, come with us." The guards gave us even more confused looks, and one was looking like he was jealous. When we followed Luna in, she motioned to the chairs in her room. It's like the one in Lullaby for a Princess.

"Princess, why did you want to see me along with Nitro?" Alto questions wit logical confusion.

Luna sighs, but before she could continue any further, I force the revolver out and point the handle to her. "F-for me?"

I nod, and she levitates it out of my hooves and checks it out. "... .357 mag... 6 shot... 16 inch barrel... wood stock... elegant carvings... I like it!" She places it on her night desk. "Now, for the reason I brought you here.

"Princess Twilight and her friends started to have strange dreams. But these aren't any ordinary dreams. They appear to show glimpses into the future. Some of many, in fact. I wish to not describe, but I brought you here so we may speak on our own. And I know why you decided to request us into the Order." She looks at me with a thousand years of wisdom in her eyes. "The First Civilization DNA, correct? Your friend, Alto, also has high concentrations. I can find this out by looking into dreams.

"Your dreams have a laptop set off in the very edge of the dream. I went over there, and saw your journals of coming to Equestria. You seem to mention some fillies and a colt, so I decided to check their dreams. And the thing is they all have a similar sequence. Outside of their dreams is a never-ending white space. You decided to mention this 'First Civilization DNA', so I check in Pinkie's, Discord's, and a few other ponies. A normal pony doesn't have that white space, but those with enough FCDNA do."

"Ya got me. And Alto has this same white space? Like the Animus' Loading Screen in AC Syndicate?"

"Yes."

We turned to Alto, who is confused as all hell. "Alto, I'd love to ask you a question. Not as a Princess, but as any ordinary pony." He nods to show that he's listening. "Nitro and I would love to involve you in the Assassin's Order. We are just a group of ponies who wish to protect Equestria from the Shadows. Not in plain sight like the Wonderbolts or the Guards. Will you join us?"

He looked from her, then to me, then to Luna again. "You want me to join your Assassin guild?" He then smirked. "I'd love to. I'm bored of being just a guard who sits in front of the Throne Room, doing nothing. If you'd let me."

I respond with "Then welcome to the Order, brother! The Order refers to each other as brothers and sisters, as if we're just a family." I added, when his face started to show a little confusion from the "brother" part. I then went and assimilated him in. I left the ammo for the revolver on one of Luna's chairs, then left with Alto. "So, listen. We don't have an income. If you're gonna quit the Guards, you're gonna have to get another job to sustain yourself."

"I plan on quitting the Guards, then going back home with my large paycheck. I'll probably get a job in a coffee shop or pub or something. There's quite a large amount of local businesses that I can work at."

"Good. Well, I'll see you later, Alto. Um, meet me at the Ponyville Train Station next Saturday at..." I pull out a Train Schedule and find a time for next week. "...4 P.M.? That's when the train from Manehatten will arrive in Ponyville."

"You live in Ponyville? How'd you get to Manehatten?"

"I traveled across Equestria last week. Last Saturday was when I met your fiancé. So, see you then?"

"Yeah, see you then with Soprano. That cool?"

"Yeah."

"Good. See ya, Nitro!"

"See you later, Alto!" I trotted out to Canterlot. I refer to the watch on my left hoof. '3:32? Well, I have time. Let's see what I can do here.'

Written Journal #5
A new recruit! His name's Alto, and he is the guy who's fiancé I fucked a week ago. Gotta apologize to them as well.
Luna went into my dreams recently. That's kinda creepy.
