Wars Legacy

Hello chapter 7 is here and once again i put out this message any person who can be my beta i really need one i am looking at about two betas due to the length and size of the fic if anyone is interested. This chapter is hopefully better no action today guys but i am trying to dive more into the insecurities than some of the main characters deal with don't worry no flash backs or long talks

It had been a hectic week at the palace with trying to keep the peace between Chrysalis and Luna and the upcoming grand galloping gala which I would be attending to meet the other race’s diplomats. I was stressed to fuck; god knows how celestia was handling it. Upper class snobs and diplomats would be coming from all corners of Equestria to meet me, the amazing human and it was tomorrow. I felt like a circus attraction. Then again it could be fun meeting other species. Luna would be attending as would Chrysalis once again in her disguised form. This annoyed Chrysalis too no end but Celestia had said that if I was going it was only fair that the others went.

Luna had been very nervous this being her first attendance in a thousand years. I was happy that the three of us were speaking again after we had gotten over the sheer awkwardness of the instant.

The sun was high in the sky when I sat down with armor polish and a cloth, my recently washed armour no longer smelled but was still filthy. Rarity had offered to make me a suit for the gala but I had decided that my armour was properly more suited I wanted to leave an impression if I was to represent earth. Also I didn’t know why but I had a sneaking suspicion that something would go down. My friends use to call me paranoid but my suspicions were rarely wrong.

The process of cleaning and oiling the armor was to put it simply a bastard. The armor required you to take the thing apart clean then reassemble it this is also whilst oiling the joint parts so the thing did not rust or jam. The inner suit that was worn under the armor also needed to be charged so that when I equipped the helmet it would show me the HUD and the other electronic gadgets. Luckily it only needed to be charge every month or so and with the alicorns magic it meant that I had an instant recharger.

Even better Chrysalis had helped repair the armour the once cracked eye piece was now good as new and the dented shoulder guard was now fixed. All in all my armour looked brand new and I couldn’t be happier. The gala was to take place in two days and twilight and the gang would be attending.

The tension between Chrysalis and Luna was the major issue that I was dealing with. The two mares seem to have made it their mission to try and seduce me. Being a different species and a male meant that I was oblivious to their ploy up to a couple of days ago. To say that I was concerned would be an insult in itself I was sweating bullets any time one of them entered the room. It was like having a time bomb that could go off at any second; I suspected that marriage would be much the same.

One thing that I had to look forward too was the wonderbolt show today that Rainbow Dash and I were going to.  Rainbow had told me that the tickets were incredibly good. I had to admit that seeing skittles again would be interesting her tomboyish attitude meant that we were able to have conversations that would offend other more feminine mares.

A cyan and rainbow streak flitted by over head and the phrase speak of the devil could not of been more appropriate. I was only adorned in the lower part of my armor making sure that the leg joints were moving fine and that the armor didn’t have any hidden damage. Rainbow dash landed with a near deafening boom as she muttered curses about messing up her landing.

“Hey skittles” I said laughing as her eyes narrowed at me. Without warning she pounced on me as we wrestled playfully playing dirty when possible. After a few minutes of, horsing around I sat up panting as we laughed. Rainbow dash moved aside allowing me to put the chest and arm pieces on watching with curiosity as I stood up fully garbed.

These last few days I had been on edge for some reason preferring to wear my armor than my casual clothes much to the annoyance of Luna. I kept three weapons on me when in the armor, the magnum, laser rifle and my knife. They like the armor had been treated to a good cleaning and I had even repaired the iron sight for the magnum with and focusing Chrystal for the laser rifle both with the help of Chrysalis again. All in all my equipment looked like it was fresh out the factory and shinned in the bright sun.

“You ready to go” I asked watching as she smiled brightly before a arrogant smirk adorned her face

“I’m always ready” She said puffing out her chest as I smirked in mirth at her antics. I walked beside the cyan mare as she chatted excitedly  on about the wonderbolts which I was only half listening to my eyes were persistently darting  to locations I know a sniper or assassin could exploit. Even I had to admit that it was ridicules nearly all the threatening or dangerous creatures lived miles away from this location or lived in the forests. Maybe i was being an idiot ponies were a relatively peaceful race which meant that the likely hood of an assassin or enemy attack was highly unlikely.

I was looking forward to seeing spitfire in action we had over the last few weeks ran into each other a few times and it was nice to get a chat and some piece in quite. She reminded me slightly of a more mature Dash same enthusiasm more leveled head. She treated me like a friend and I respected her for that.

There was a minor problem when we reached the gate and a guard had the nerve to ask me to turn over my highly powerful dangerous weapons in a family environment, honestly some ponies!

“Please sir I need you to turn your weapons over there have been reports of a extremist group that are targeting large shows to cause chaos”  the guard pleaded the pay probably not being worth the effort that the poor stallion was having to put in to deal with me.

“Listen here buddy, this mare with me is one of the elements of harmony and is a prime target for extremist my orders are to protect her and remove anything that could harm or interfere with my orders” I said taking a serious tone as the stallion withered under my gaze.

“If there is a problem, take it up with the pony that placed me here princess Celestia” I said smirking victorious as the guard paled at the name of his princess and with a quick nod allowed me to pass Rainbow dash snickering as the guard bought my bullshit statement.

“I can’t believe he bought that” Dash giggled as we went to get snacks. I still had a large number of bits left over from the night out and was able to pay for the food and drinks. Dash had ordered a hay shake whilst I had a strawberry mareshake. We went half’s on a large bag of popcorn and were soon enjoying the front row seats of the wonderbolt performance.

“Ladies and Gentlcolts please put your hoofs together for the fastest fliers in Equestria the one the only WONDERBOLTS!” The crowd went wild as the pegasi appeared in a flash a grey trail following them as their leader Spitfire led them her trail a beautiful combination of red and yellow as there skilful coordination and flying skills would of given RAF pilots a run for their money. The crowd oohed and aahed as the flyers preformed complicated and dangerous manoeuvres.

The show lasted an hour with a ten minute interval in between the performance. As the spitfire and the rest were lining up to bow to the audience I saw it a colt with its face covered galloped on to the field a knife clenched between its teeth as it sprinted for its target spitfire.  Screams echoed as the wonderbolts failed to notice the assailant. Tearing out of my seat I sprinted towards the group spitfire looking at me in confusion as I rapidly approached them. Some of the members got into defensive stances as I leapt. Spitfire yelped in confusion when I soared right over them colliding with the assailant resulting in a ear piercing shriek as the sound of bones snapping caused the screams to cease.

Turning spitfire looked on in horror as the stallions right fore leg, the leg I had collided with resembled a empty tube of tooth paste as I held the would be assassin by the throat. I slowly chocked the life out of him as he squirmed desperately his eyes bulging as his chocolate brown face started to turn blue. Throwing him on the ground rainbow dash flew over as spitfire and the rest slowly approached.

“Who are you working for” I asked as the stallion whimpered. Growling I steeped on his left fore leg and started to apply pressure his screams causing Rainbow dash to squirm as I tortured the fool.

“I will ask again, who do you work for”I said applying more pressure with each word.

“The Ater Obscurus” he whimpered.

“Please don’t k-“I silenced him with a bullet in the head causing Rainbow dash to gasp in horror as the stallions upper muzzle was obliterated leaving only the lower jaw. I winced as the bullet did more damage than I expected a few of the wonderbolt's members promptly vomited, there reaching shaking me back to reality as I realised that I had just relatively bloody killed a pony in front of a peaceful and reality naive race.

Sadly I had little time to react as two more stallions much larger than the dead pony arrived on the scene automatically going for me as they saw their downed comrade. I was knocked to the ground as they tackled me being earth ponies. They were ridiculously powerful and the two of them had no problem pinning me as there hoofs slammed into my chest piece leaving small dents as my gun was sent flying. Taking out my knife I tried to slash one of the stallions only to miss as it tried to disarm me. Striking upwards, I was rewarded with a wet splat as the knife tore though the grey stallion throat causing him to gurgle as blood poured down is severed throat and windpipe. Sadly the knife stayed lodged in the know dead stallion’s throat meaning that I was now weapon less.

I kicked the last black stallion in the face as I tried to reach for my knife grunting as it grabbed me pulling me back with its hoofs as it tried to reach my head. Turning I delivered a swift and clumsy punch dazing the bastard, as I stumbled to my feet the knife mere feet away.

I swore loudly as the mad stallion slammed into me his mouth foaming as he tried to fucking bite me. I held out my left arm using my fore arm as I barricade against the rabid ponies attack. Using all the strength in my right arm I dislodged my arm and grabbed the stallion by the mane causing him to pause as I yanked him off. My left arm now free I grabbed the stallion’s lower jaw and with a mighty twist snapped the assailant’s neck resulting in a loud wet crunch as the pony shook violently before going still.

Getting up I looked at Rainbow Dash my glare replaced with a grimace as she looked at me in terror Spitfire and most of the members were still either vomiting or shacking like leaves there body pale as the three corpse lay on the field the entire stadium was silent as I stood there the terrified stares and glares making me feel very self conscious.

Spitfire moving forward shakily nudged me gently to fallow her as guards flocked out to attend to the bodies. The guards ignored me knowing due to the fact that I saved Spitfires live. Rainbow Dash followed despite her being terrified, she really was the element of loyalty.

Once we were inside Spitfire collapsed into a chair her tail wrapping around herself as she waited for me to speak. They needed to hear and know why I did what I did.

“Girls you saw a side of me today that I wished with all my heart that you didn't. I am  trained to protect my country. This means that I have to kill or torture to get information or to protect. Those stallions were going to kill you spitfire I understand it is shocking even horrifying to see but you must understand that where I came from we can’t afford to always be the good guys who throw the bad guys in jail sometimes we need to kill them” I finished waiting for their response.

“Ri- Richard I, I don't know what to say you just killed them with no remorse. You you were a different pony and that scared me” Spitfire whispered looking at me sadly as I smiled in at her courage.

“That that was horrible” Rainbow whimpered  she shivered at my hulking form.

Suddenly there was a large knock on the door opening it I nearly cursed as a stream line of reporters stood there the flashes of cameras going off every few seconds.

“Miss spitfire who is this creature that saved your life” A porky pony asked his come over becoming messy as he was shoved out the way by a young filly.

“Mr Creature do you regret killing the would be attackers” She squeaked as I growled at her and soon found myself swamped by reporters

“Miss Spitfire do you have anything you would like to say to your rescuer” a blond mare asked.

“Not say” She said simply turning she rose onto her haunches and slammed her lips into mine causing me to gasp allowing her to slip her tongue into my mouth. The reporters went crazy, as wolf whistles rang out whilst cameras repeatedly flashed in the background. Spitfire released a small moan as her tongue caressed mine gently her eyes shut as she melted into my arms which supported her out of reflex.

Finishing she pulled away gently a string of saliva running down her mouth as she looked at me with a seductive smile.

“See you later” was all she said as she took off shaking her flank a little as she disappeared into the sky.

“Dash was shocked as was the rest of the news reporters and even the wonderbolts looked shocked. Strangely Soarin looked happy smiling at me as he beaconed for me to follow him. I soon found myself once again in a trailer the sound cutting off as he shut the door.

“Thank you” Soarin said shocking me as he pulled me into a hug.

“Thank you for saving my sister” I don’t know what I would have done if she had been killed” He said tears trickling down his muzzle as he smiled at me.

“Wait aren’t you terrified of me I killed those ponies” I said utterly surprised.

“Those bastards got what they deserved” He snarled causing me to lean back as I marvelled at the sheer callousness he displayed. I liked Soarin more already.

We exchanged quick banter and he gave me too season passes gave me and a guest free show to the wonderbolts for the rest of the year plus VIP and back stage passes.

“Richard is it, if you don’t mind me asking is that mare your with single” he asked nervously his eyes avoiding mine as I laughed.

“Instead of asking me why don’t you ask her” I whispered patting him on the shoulder as I left.

Rainbow dash quickly caught up with me as I we walked back to the palace. A guard had informed me that Celesta had cleared the issue and wished to talk to me. I knew that Celestia would want to talk about the nut cases and this cult thing. Suddenly I froze realizing something Spitfire had kissed me and the papers had photo evidence of it.

“The girls are going to kill me” I whimpered.

Spitfire’s pov

I shook my flank suggestively as I left Richard my thoughts racing as the kiss replayed though my thoughts causing me to moan as I longed to kiss him again. The phrase love at first sight could not have been more appropriate. Everything from his muscular physic to his kind and caring personality drew me in. When he stopped the ponies I realised that I was in love with him a different species no less Soarin always said I had, unique taste’s my last boyfriend had been a griffon someone I had met at flight school but later broke up when he moved over sea’s.

After that I never really had time for a boyfriend, I had joined the wonderbolts at a young age with my brother joining ten years later. when the last leader Lightning Strike retired I was offered the position. I entered the wonderbolt headquarters which was simply a small building that had separate rooms for us to sleep in and a small kitchen with us on tour so much it meant that we rarely stayed at the base for more than a couple of days but luckily the rest of the year saw us touring mostly canterlot and other large cities that were relatively close meaning I could nip back and visit Richard.

He was smart protective and had even risked his life to save me. I blushed as the kiss flickered though my thought again.

“Someone is happy” Turning is milled as I realised that it was only Fleetfoot a very close friend of mine.

“It’s nothing” I said blushing as she glared at me.

“Don’t lie I know something is up” She said folding her hoofs as she sat down in front of me her attention focused solely on me.

“You remember Richard from the café” I said shyly

“Yeah the one that made us feel like old grannies when he told us how fast his species machines can go” she said laughing as I nodded.

“Well I kind of made out with him” I said burying my head in my hoofs as Fleetfoot squealed in excitement.

“Oh my god you made out with Richard a different species and a biped nice, wait tongue or no tongue” She asked laughing as I went cherry red and in a small voice

“Tongue” I whispered sinking into my chair as Fleet foot fired off questions at me which I was forced to answer. The questioning seemed never ending Fleet foot rattling off questions faster than I could answer as I tried to make sense of the gibbering mare

“Do you love him” she asked smiling at me as I stuttered nervously

“Y-yes” I squeaked never felling quite so embarrassed in my life. We met up with the rest of the team to discuss what had happened.

The others had tried there best to keep straight faces but even they faltered as I was humiliated by having to answer Fleet

“I in all my life have never seen such a callous act this Richard seemed so unfazed by the murder, which leads me to believe he has killed before” Rapid fire stated the older pegasi glowering as he recalled seeing the dead ponies being carted away.

“he saved my sisters life that is all that matters they were going to kill her, he got there first and finished them, the way I see it good riddance to bad rubbish” Soarin shouted shocking many of us at his callous approach surprising, being my younger brother and youngest on the team. Most of the team were in there early to mid seventies,whilst Soarin was only sixty three. I was seventy six soon to be seven in a week, I wonder if Richard would come with me and the team on a night out.

I could think of a present he could give me. I drifted off drooling slightly at the thought of Richard before realising that the team was looking at me.

“Thinking about Richard” Fleetfoot asked innocently gaining gasps from the rest of the members as they crowded around to bombard me with questions. After finally regaining a semblance of order and answering everyone’s questions we went back to discussing the scene on the performance stadium.

“I think we should hire him part time as a body guard for large or important shows. He dealt with those ponies easily enough and could provide proper protection for the fans and us” Rapid Fire suggested stroking his goateed as he waited for our impute.

Some of the team were hesitant the human was taller stronger and far more dangerous than us and that made ponies uneasy. But in the end the team agreed and I couldn’t be happier. The thought of having Richard at our important shows filled me with joy as he could see my skill and we could hopefully form a relationship.

I cringed as i realized that I would have to deal with the princess of the night whom i had seen around him a lot. She could be dangerous considering her past and her power both magically and politically could prove to be a challenge.

Richard pov

Next day

“You must know something” I shouted as Celestia sat there looking over the reports her glasses perched on her nose as she looked up.

“Richard I nor my sister nor even Chrysalis have heard of this colt and believe me when I say that we know most things. I growled in frustration those three stallions had nearly killed spitfire. I blushed as the kiss flashed though my head. I had to admit that spitfire was beautiful but I was already dealing with chrysalis and Luna the last thing i needed was another mare getting involved.

“I know it’s just that they were intending to kill her, I thought your race were peaceful” i questioned causing her to pause as she glared at me.

“Whilst most of my little ponies are peaceful there are still a few that go bad even to this extreme” She finished scrutinising me as i paced restlessly back and forth.

“Sorry I’m ju-” my sentence was cut off by a scream echoing around the building

“RICHARD” Luna’s royal canterlot voice boomed seeming to come from all directions as I winced.  Looking for an escape route, as Celestia narrowed her eyes

“What did you do?” she growled as the stomping got closer.

“Nothing I swear please don’t let her kill me” I said getting onto my knees and begging, me a soldier begging to not be killed. My pleading was cut off as Luna tore the large doors from there hinges as she accompanied by Chrysalis marched in her eyes black as she glared at me. In her mouth was a rolled up news paper, the thing I had feared. Unrolling it Luna looked at me waiting for an answer, Celestia gasped behind me as she saw the photo. I decided that the best way to deal with this was in a mature manor.

Crash

I jumped though the window leaving three stunned mares as I thanked god that it was a ground floor window as I sprinted down the garden path. I heard a shriek of rage and foolishly turned to see Luna in hot pursuit. I winced as I knew that I had just made it worse. Luna was persistent but luckily wasn't very fast in the air. My armour allowed me to run much faster than normal which gave me the crucial advantage. Dark beams of energy missed me by centimetres as Luna went all out.

“GET BACK HERE YOU COWERED” Luna screamed her voice wavering as I cringed realising that she was crying. I stopped waiting for her to catch up, turning I removed my helmet waiting for the impact. Luna yelped as she crashed into me struggling as I wrapped my arms around her causing her to feebly smack my reinforced armour with her hooves. Luckily the positioning and the hug stopped her from using all her strength.

“Luna please listen” I pleaded desperately as she tried to bite my face.

“I have never been in love and on my planet never had a girlfriend or have a female show interest in me. I am now I’m in a new world where three mares have shown an interest in me and I’m confused. I didn’t kiss spitfire she kissed me I promise you that” I finished waiting for her to respond.

“Why is it that I never get anything easy” Luna wailed as she finally collapsed her strength leaving her as she cried.

“I finally fall in love finally and there are two other mares after him it’s not fair” she whined as she nuzzled by chin, I felt my heart break as self disgust entered my body knowing that this was my fault. Like me she was scared, scared of committing or falling in love. Chrysalis was similar she also had problems having been kicked out of her hive meant that herself worth couldn't be very high. Spitfire I wasn't sure about from what I could see it looked like she had a lot of time for romance having to perform all year round. Maybe that was why they were attracted to me, what they could see in someone like me was questionable.

Chrysalis had caught up and had made a fuss about me and Luna but had calmed down once we had spoken at length about the situation.

“So what do we do” I asked as we sat in front of one another I was generally lost how could I decided between three mares without breaking the others hearts. I was hating myself more and more for being such a oblivious twat.

“We could always share” Luna suggested causing me and chrysalis to yelp as Chrysalis dragged her away leaving me there stunned as the two argued quietly in the back ground.

Luna’s pov

I grumbled as Chrysalis dragged me by the tail over to a secluded spot.

“What are you thinking sharing why would we do that” Chrysalis hissed as I glared at her

“If we share him then it means that there is one less mare to worry about and it means that it would be us against the little whore off a wonderbolt” I growled smirking as Chrysalis let out a small

“Oh” Looking at me a grin adorned the Changelings face as she responded

“I like how you think I am not happy about the idea of sharing but you are right harems are not unheard of and we would have less to worry about if we work together. That slut will have no chance against us” She said chuckling evilly as we shook hooves.

Richard sat there looking at us bewildered his expression brining a smile to my lips as he got to his feet scratching his head nervously.

“Richard we have decided that we are willing to share thou” I stated causing his eyes to dilate as he looked at us in panic.

“Wait-what” he stuttered causing me to laughs as he reddened.

“Yes we have decided that the only way for us to both be happy is to share you. You should be honoured” Chrysalis said arrogantly her soft smile betraying her true emotions as she waited for his reply.

“I will be honest this is a lot for me to take in and I have to say that I am nervous but if you two are willing to have a go then I am as well” He said yelping in surprise when we jumped him.

I positioned myself on Richards lap nervously my head darted forward, my lips pressing against his. I moaned as I prodded his lips with my tongue gaining access I explored his mouth the new experience over whelming me as my front legs shook. I broke away from him gasping for breath as saliva dribbled down my chin. I felt myself getting wet as I rubbed against him my moans causing Chrysalis to nudge me.

“We can’t do that here in public I suggest we relocated to a more secluded area” A villainous grin crept onto her face as we grabbed him pulling him towards his room as he complained bitterly.

One mind blowing threesome later!

I lay back on the bed panting for breath as the three of us tried to regain some of our lost energy. The beds were soaked and we were covered with sweat but the experience had been more than worth it. My regal main was a tangled disaster but Richard and Chrysalis were in no better state. I cuddled up him listening to the soft beat of his heart as I sighed in satisfaction. Chrysalis grumbled as she nuzzled closer to Richard her eyes half closed as she tried to get more comfy.

“Sister are you in here remember that the gala is toni” celestia broke off as she took in the scene in front of her. I felt Richard tense as my eyes became pin pricks waiting with held breath as my silent sister looked at us.

“I shall come back later” She said a smirk forming on her face as her head disappeared. Not before I heard a snicker as my sister's hoofsteps became a dull echo.

“OH BUCK IT I FORGOT ABOUT THE GALA” I yelled jumping out of bed taking the quilt with me gaining cries of protest from the other occupants of the bed.

I forced the three of us into the shower there not being enough time for separate the cramped condition and awkwardness was uncomfortable but given the circumstances we were willing to deal with it. After the shower I rushed off to my room leaving the other two to get ready.

I had a special dress looked out and Celestia had even got one for Chrysalis despite her protest. I had to admit that despite the changeling’s antics she was very loyal to Richard and was even growing on me.

Richard pov

I flailed about wildly trying to get my heavy armor on making sure to quickly polish it before clumsily adorning it the chest piece was a bitch to get on weighing close to 500 kg, luckily the inner suit allowed the shoulder and arm pieces to take most of the weight but it was still no easy task. After the armor was on and looked fit for royalty, I reloaded my magnum displaying it proudly on my hip as I grabbed my helmet leaving to meet Celestia. I had to admit that the idea of being in the same room as her was distressing.

“Richard please come in and have a seat” the gentle soft voice of celestia caused me to flinch as I started thinking about what she would do to me. I sat down hesitantly as Celestia smiled at me warmly her eyes holding no malice as she made herself comfortable.

“Richard I must say what I saw today was shocking and a little strange from what I can guess both Chrysalis and Luna have finally admitted there affection towards you. I am not angry only concerned for my sister for if you were to break her heart I would have to take extreme measures to correct that injustice, Do you understand” She said her voice sending chills down my spine as the implication of her words ran though me like a spear.

“Of course Princess, I would never hurt either of them” I said honestly looking her in the eyes as she allowed a grin to spread to her face.

“Richard you have done so much good since you have got here. You have done nothing but good and have saved a number of ponies from a grizzly end and now you save my sister from her own alienation and loneliness. I don’t know what to say” Celestia finished her eyes watering as she smiled graciously at me.

“Celestia this place has done more for me than I could ever hope to repay. I was a bitter and twisted man before I came here, I allowed my bitterness to effect people around me and only a select few stayed with me despite my bad qualities. Everyone here has done nothing but help me, yes we have had our fights and near death experiences but in the end it has been worth it” I finished my speech by nodding respectfully towards her.

Later

I fidgeted nervously as Luna nuzzled licked my hand grinning perversely as she rubbed against me.

“Behave you we are about to enter the gala” I said grinning as I swatted her but playfully.  Chrysalis rolled her eyes as she checked herself over quickly in a conjured mirror making sure her makeup and dress was faultless. Women the same in every race, I kept that thought to myself knowing how painful a punch could be from one of them. I had briefly spoken to a the captain of the guards named shinning armor, it had turned out to be a nice chat a mutual respect was formed for the other being soldiers we could sympathise and even shared a few laughs about training and our respective instructors.

Sadly Shinning armor had guard duty and would not be present at the gala instead he was in charge of the main security which included protecting the guests. I gulped nervously as our names were announced, breathing in sharply I placed my helmet on my head as the door opened revelling the guests to us.

Luna walked regally her head held high as she strutted down the stairs smiling warmly at the guests as she passed. Many of the ponies nodded in respect most eying me suspiciously as I walked past them. The fact that the visor glowed a dark red unnerved some of the ponies the armor itself was intimidating easily dwarfing all the species there.

The griffons watched me with curiosity glancing at my magnum and chest piece as they whispered to one another. The diamond dogs from what rarity had told me were brutish savages yet these one looked as regal and as pampered as any other nobility. Several other strange guests arrived some like bipedal wolfs and even zebras. Yet despite the range of species I still stuck out like a sore thumb dwarfing most of them and my armor made me feel uncomfortable.

As the night started to get under way i was approached by many of the nobles and royalty pestering either me or Luna. At one point I nearly killed a prince whom was chatting up a clearly board Luna. This was all in fine I trusted Luna but when he started to get to close I moved in and saw him off none to politely. Luna had found this adorable laughing as I took of my helmet allowing the hall to see my face as I once again found myself at the centre of attention.

I wondered off to enjoy the night ignoring the snorts of disgust from snobs. For some reason the ponies despite being generally peaceful where very xenophobic and even racist to a degree. I didn’t let that dampen my night as I ended up dancing with chrysalis she like me was having fun but was alienated by the ponies for not being important in their eyes. We ended up having a lot of fun challenging each other to drinking contest and just in general tried to liven up the otherwise dull night. Luna had joined us and soon we were once again trying to get drunk.

Ponies would call us idiots after what happened last time but that compared to another five hours of bullshit and money grabbing bastards was preferable.

Hours passed and it wasn’t long before I found myself slightly tippys Luna and chrysalis were in a far worse state than me slurring as they spoke giggling at each other some of the nobles looked on in shock but we weren’t the only drunks. The griffon emperor was so drunk that he was now on top of a table singing his voice slurred as his goofy grin made me laugh. The emperor as I later found out was a happy kind ruler who loved his subjects unlike his father before him.

I spoke with twilight and the others whom told me stories of the last gala causing me to laugh as we enjoyed the friendly conversation even telling them about how Dave and I had once passed out on the run way.

“Richard, should have known you would be here” A sultry voice said behind me turning Rainbow dash and I gasped

“Spitfire how are you” I said tensely knowing that Luna and Chrysalis would go nuts if they saw me. But at the time I was drunk enough that her cute face and sexy smile made me blush heavily.

“Not bad how are you Richie boy” She asked winking at me as she waved to Dash.

“How about we go someone where more private so we can, talk!” she said grabbing my armoured hand with her teeth and gently guiding me though the maze of near or already intoxicated guests.

We wandered thought the garden Spitfire rubbing against me discreetly as she sighed in content.

“You know when I first saw you I had to admit that I found you fascinating” She said stopping near the maze.

“Your gentleness and kindness plus your sarcasm made you interesting to talk to. As we meet more randomly and I got to know you I found myself falling slowly in love with you” She finished causing me to flash back to the last week and the week before where I had meet her several times whilst going for coffee or piece and quite.

“But when you saved my life I knew that I had found my knight in shining armor literally” she said blushing as she turned her eyes watering as a warm smile graced her lips.

“Richard I lo-” Spitfire was cut off as A bolt of blue energy slammed into the ground millimetres away from her causing her to yelp as she jumped in terror.

“BACK AWAY WHORE THOU ARN’T MESSING WITH THI MAN” Luna roared causing Spitfire to back away slowly still placing her body between me and Luna, her face full of rage.

“You can’t just claim him as your own, I knew you were using him a sex toy but to call him yours” Spitfire shouted back surprising me that she knew about that.

“Richard is mine and mine alone, i can do what I wish with him” Luna spat causing me to wince at the harshness. Was that all I was to her an item that she could do with as she pleased.

“You traitor” A voice hissed from the shadow as an equally enraged Chrysalis emerged her eyes full of fire as she snarled at Luna who flared her wings in intimidation. Fuck I had to end this quickly three mares where fighting for me, slightly flattering but they didn’t deserve to get hurt because of my hesitation.

“Girls stop this now” I shouted trying to sound authoritative sadly with me being drunk it meant that I slurred slightly losing its value. Luna and Chrysalis were still drunk and angry this was dangerous they could hurt others or worse themselves if they went at it. Poor spitfire was terrified here she was trapped between two powerful creatures.

“Girls enough please” I begged grabbing their shoulders to force them apart. This sadly kicked it off as the two went for each other biting and clawing at me to get to the other whilst Spitfire tried to help me only succeeding in getting a hoof to the jaw as she reeled back in agony her mouth bleeding as she growled spitting out a mouthful of blood. As the fight progressed the attacks became far more brutal as the two mares switched to dangerous spells. Beams of blue and green flashed around the garden illuminating us as there enraged eyes blinded them to the damage surrounding them. Spitfire for the most part stayed out of the fight knowing she would be useless against magic. The final came when I was struck by one of the spells causing me to gasp as Luna screamed in rage. Spitfire at this point had had enough and using her strong hind legs, bucked Luna hard causing her to stumble forward onto me as Chrysalis yelped in surprise causing us to fall into a hep as we scrabbled to get to our feet sadly the alcohol in our system made it that at best we could do a good impersonation of a turtle on its back.

Luna Chrysalis Spitfire you three are amazing you truly are. But I don’t deserve you” I said causing them to fall silent as I stared at them a self loathing as the memories of my tour came to mind.

“What do you mean” Luna asked looking at me with curiosity.

I know about you and Chrysalis past and the things you two did whilst not good was not pure evil. I-I was given a target to fire at so I used one of the mech’s more powerful missiles that would destroy it killing everyone inside. I latter found out that it was a school” I said hearing the horrified gasps as tears stung my eyes.

“I changed after that became more ruthless the guilt and self loathing that I held was so strong that my heart hardened so much that I blocked out everyone who tried to get close to me. My bitterness and sadness was destroying who I was until I came here. You three helped me in different ways and helped me to finally accept friendship and even love” I said lowering my head as tears splattered the ground.

“I care deeply for each of you. I am sorry love is still a new concept to me but that is no excuse to have you three fighting to the death for me” I finished sinking to my knees as I groaned a head ache coming on as my emotions finally exploded releasing all the pent up grieve anger and rage that had been circuiting though my body for years. I looked up as three hoofs fell onto my shoulder gently three conserved mares looking at me with sympathy.

“Richard we are glad that you so it fit to tell us no trust us with this information we think no less of you now or ever. Please understand that we love you and the fact that you care about us not our wealth, not our fame but us the mares underneath the reputation and power” Luna whispered whilst Chrysalis nodded on agreement.

“But I” my words were cut off by Luna pressing her lips to mine silencing any protest I had as I relaxed my body unwinding as I felt Chrysalis nuzzle my shoulder.

"Richard I'm going to go" Spitfire said her head hung low as she saw that the two loved me.

"Spitfire no its not you" I tried as she took off sobbing as I tried to stop her. Luna stood motionlessly as she looked at the wonder bolt her face grimacing as she looked at me with concern. Chrysalis as always seemed like she couldn't care but even I saw the small look of discomfort on her face.

I never noticed my helmet slowly rolling towards the statue clanging as it hit stray rocks and sticks as it made its way towards its intended target. The helmet bounced against the platform that seemed to be missing a statue. Slowly a lion paw extended towards the helmet two mismatched eyes staring into the helmet a mischievous smirk on its muzzle as it stroked its goatee.

“Excellent ”
