//-------------------------------------------------------// The Protector: Remastered -by Freakxander- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue It was a dark night in Ponyville, many ponies slept hard at this hour, their deep slumber kept many of them unaware of the mare that begged for help. "Somepony help! I beg for mercy on my soul." A tan mare cried out as the deranged stallion slowly walked towards her. The mare had taken quite the beating, blood oozed out of her mouth, it was apparent she would need to consult a doctor if she were to somehow survive this encounter. The stallion seemed to have unstable mind, all he wanted was to cause harm to ponies for self pleasure, he was very sick in the head "Yes, scream for help. You... arouse my thirst for pleasure." He spoke cool and calm, he would give chills to even the most brave souls in Equestria. The tan mare was about to scream once more before she locked her eyes onto a dark figure approaching fast from behind the stallion. The stallion turned to look, he met a remarkably fast fist approaching, before the stallion could react it was far to late, he already was knocked onto the ground by a shockingly powerful hit. The stallion smiled to himself before getting back up "Ah, a brave co-" he was shocked when he looked at hairless pony "Hmm... you certainly look different, let me fix that for you." the stallion swung as hard he could, he was confused when his target moved quicker than anything he had ever seen before, he couldn't even react before being body slammed onto the ground, the ground vibrated underneath him from the impact. The mare watched in awe at her hero, she observed his features closely. This creature was most definitely different, he had no hair except for the large patch on his head and some on his face, he had no shirt and torn blue jeans, it looked like he'd been wearing them for months on end. This creature was not weak, he had more muscle mass than even your top of the line Royal Guards, he definitely had been trained to the extreme. The stallion felt the being climb onto him before having a set of hands slam onto his throat, he felt his wind pipe get shut as the creature squeezed the life out of him. The stallion tried to pry the hands off but his grip was way to tight, he tried kneeing the being in the back but it didn't even budge a bit, it was like as if it didn't even feel it. The stallion tried twisting and turning but the creature had his torso locked in place with its knees, it was like as if the being already thought of every possible escape before hand. The stallion tried biting the beings wrists but that only caused the creature to slam the stallions skull onto the concrete, the slam was powerful, this caused the stallions head to ooze blood out of the back of it. There was no escape for the stallion, his eyes rolled into the back of his head before his life left the body. The creature made a quick snap of the stallions neck to make sure he was dead, this was hardly a battle for the creature, it had already won before it even landed the first strike. The being looked at the mare before bolting off back towards the woods it had come from, the Everfree. The mare watched the creature run off before looking back towards the stallions body, she saw a small puddle of blood forming underneath the head of the lifeless body. The mare was saved for absolutely no reason, the creature wasn't even pony but it saved the mare, why? "That was The Protector wasn't it? It had to of been, the creature everypony has been talking about, the creature with a pure heart." The tan mare spoke to herself. Ponies eventually came out of their homes to see what the commotion was, a small group came to see if the mare was okay, the guard was immediately called to come and investigate. The scene had been secured by sunrise, most of the higher ups in the guard arrived, even the captain himself. "This one's an add-on to your case, looks like the work of The Protector." An older black stallion guard said to his captain "I don't know what this things goal is Shining, I really don't." Shining as in Shining Armor, he was the captain of the guard and husband of the princess of love, Cadence "Me neither Gleam, all I've gotta say is it's one ruthless thing." he crouched down to inspect the body "What's the time of death?" he asked the coroner that was on scene. The coroner looked to the captain before responding "The mare that was attacked said it was roughly midnight, the bodies been secured since four this morning." he informed Shining. Shining sighed "You'd think they'd be quicker with all of the new technology." he picked the head up and inspected the badly injured skull "You have any guesses to as of what caused this?" he asked the coroner. The coroner crouched down on the opposite side of the body "Judging from the splatter marks on the ground then I'm assuming his head was smashed into the ground, that would also tie into the bruising on the throat, from all of the marks the stallion has it would be best to assume this protector has the strength of a titan. I'd hate to mess with it, that's for sure." he gave his info. Shining observed the marks on the neck "Do you think you could bring the report to my office later after further observation? I'd love to know more about the grip strength of this thing." "Absolutely, I'll also fax over a copy of the stallions overall injuries and the end conclusion of the cause of death." the coroner said before standing up. Shining stood up as well and shook the coroners hand before heading over to the mare that was the victim of the incident "How are you doing? I'd like to ask you a few questions if you don't mind, this case is connected to many others and this one may have more information that may lead to a reveal of our vigilante." he asked the mare. The mare was still slightly shaken "U-umm, sure. Anything I could do to help." she was also smoking a cigarette. Shining got out his pen and notepad "I already know about the time it happened but could you tell me what exactly happened?" he asked, cool as a cucumber. The mare sighed "Well, I was on my way home after working a extra shift at my job and this nut job just randomly attacks me" she was referring to the body "he got me pretty good, asshole busted my lip." she rubbed her mouth. Shining nodded "So this guy was the bad guy. What happened next?" he said after catching up with his writing. The mare took a puff of her cigarette before proceeding "Then I saw the guy about to go for another swing, real whack job I tell ya, but before he could hit me this creature came out of no where before knocking crazy here off of his feet with just one punch, this thing was strong I tell ya. The stallion was all shocked but tried to fight back but this protector guy, he's all bite, he dodged every swing like he already knew what the guy was gonna do. The Protector eventually knocked him onto the ground and started choking the crazy stallion, the guy fought back but the thing slammed his head onto the ground a few times, the stallion stopped after that, he was pretty much dead at that point. The Protector thing looked at me with these magnificent blue eyes before running back towards the Everfree." she finished her story. Shining wrote down everything she said "The Everfree, huh. Maybe I could get Twily and her friends to go and check it out, it's been a while since they've had any fun." he sighed before looking up to the mare "Do you remember the things build? I heard you mention its blue eyes and that you think it's a he, did you pick up anymore details?" he asked her. The mare perked at this "Oh yeah, the guys ripped, I mean shredded, if he got all cleaned up then I'd maybe even flirt with him. The guy walks like we do, he even had some old blue jeans on, has no fur or no snout, he's also got a patch of hair on his head. I honestly think he's intellectual after what I saw. The guys got long straight blondish hair, other than that then I've got nothing else." she described The Protector. Shining nodded "Strong build, blondish hair, blue eyes, possibly intellectual, no fur, no snout, has hair on head and wears jeans. I think that's it ma'am, you're free to leave whenever you want." he said before closing his notebook and putting back into his pocket. The mare nodded before puffing on her cigarette once more. Shining turned to go back to his car so he could so some further investigating on the case, no pony stopped him so he went ahead and started the thing up, he drove a classic muscle car "I'm gonna go and inform Twilight on what's going on, she could solve the case if she and her friends could find this 'protector'" he put the car into gear before driving off. Author's Note Yup, it has happened. The Protector is being remade into a world that is crafted perfectly for his style, this guy is back and he is better than ever. Cars, whores, realism, and all other kinds of cool shit has been thrown into the mix in this new world, you can most certainly expect The Protectors limits to be pushed to the max. If you prefer the OG then don't read this, but if you felt like the OG was rushed, lacked details and had poor character development then you clicked correctly. Also, don't be dick and make fun of mistakes, just let me know what's up and I'll fix it, no biggy. Also, this is my last story, I will be retiring from FIMfiction after this but don't stress, this story will only have a few loose ends so that you guys can complete the story to your liking, like I said before, this is a open topic, this is a free to use universe, I encourage people to take this hero and make him even cooler. P.S. This one isn't gonna be thirteen chapters, it'll be at least thirty. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1- Aiden //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1- Aiden "The Protector? You mean the guy the news keeps talking about?" "Yeah, that guy." Twilight stared at Shining with a observant look "Are you sure you want to take on a case like this?" She sat in her big comfy chair that was in the center of her library. Shining sat across from her, there was a coffee table that divided them "I don't know... This case is just... interesting." He sat and thought about why he wanted to find The Protector so bad. Twilight took a sip of her tea and thought about his offer he had made earlier "Sure, I'll search for him." She said pretty calm, she had been practicing on keeping her composure. Shining looked up at her and smiled "Thanks sis, I really appreciate it." He he rested his elbows on his knees and had his head propping up his head. Twilight nodded and picked up her book "I'll try going later today, right now I need to search up some good ways on drawing out ponies." She skimmed through the book she had picked up. Shining looked up at her with a slight smile on his face before slowly shaking his head "Alright sis, let me know if you find anything." He stood up and gave his little sister a kiss on the head "stay safe." He said as he began heading for the door. Twilight smiled "I will Shining." She hadn't looked up from the book, her ear twitched when she heard the door shut, this meant Shining was gone. After a little while of reading the book Twilight yawned, she hadn't realized she had been zoned out while reading the book, it was now dark out, time had flown by in what only felt like a hour but was really about four hours. Twilight looked up at her clock and her eyes widened in surprise "It's seven? Wow... I really did lose track of time." She said before setting the book down and standing up "I suppose I should go and search for the guy Shining was talking about." Twilight slipped on her shoes and threw on a jacket before exiting her comfy home, she walked out into the chilly night, it was in the beginning of winter. Twilight soon found herself walking towards the edge of town and towards the Everfree Forest. Twilight stopped and looked around, she saw nobody around, it was surprisingly dead. She sighed and began walking towards the forest, that was until she heard rapid footsteps coming up behind her, she turned to see what it was but soon found a hand go over mouth as she was forced to the ground. A big intimidating stallion had her pinned to the ground, he shouted to a few of his friends that were now visible "I got a cute little unicorn fellas!" he said it like as if he had just caught his prey. A scratchy male voice came out of one of his friends "Oh man, she looks like a virgin!" It would make you sick with how excited he sounded. Twilight was freaking out at this point, she tried breaking away but soon found herself pinned by all of the stallions, one of them tore off her clothing that covered her chest, her breast were now exposed. It was obvious now what they wanted, she was about to be raped. The large stallion licked his lips, he went to place his hand over her chest, but before he could make contact a tree branch was broken over his head, the branch was not small, the force of the impact killed the stallion instantly. The two other minions looked up to see The Protector himself, they were shitting themselves at this point, the unknown creature looked pissed, if you looked at him in the eyes you would be scared for your life. Twilight stared in shock, she was analyzing the strength of the creature, one swing from this thing killed a large stallion, she kept thinking 'How is that possible?' but she soon saw his body, he was lean and you could see the muscle fibers in shoulders, he had the abs that most mares would want, he had the arms that let you know he hit hard, his shoulders were wide and let you know he had trained hard, Twilight was in shock. One of the goons yelled "Well come at me you hairless ape!" he tried showing no fear, but the creature read it already, he knew this goon was terrified. The Protector began walking with no hesitation towards the two stallions, he was not afraid. The stallions prepared for battle and began wildly throwing helpless swings "I'm not scared!" was a phrase that one of them yelled. The creature caught one of them mid swing and broke their elbow in one swift motion, the stallion yelled in pain but soon found his neck snapped and dead. The last stallion stared in horror before trying to run away, he tripped on the big stallions body as he tried running "Please don't kill me!" the stallion begged for his life. The Protector hovered over him, he stared at him with a flat expression before kicking him in the face, knocking him out. Twilight stared in not fear, but amazement, she had never seen anything move like that, it was incredible. She gathered her bearings and was embarrassed that her body was exposed, her clothes were ruined. She sighed before being struck with fear as the creature was right in front of her, this caused her to faint. A Few Hours Later Twilight slowly woke up in a unfamiliar bed, the whole place was unfamiliar actually. She slowly opened her eyes and saw the creature in the corner writing in a journal, she thought nothing of it until she realized something "You can write?!?" she was in shock, her sudden words had startled the creature and he had thrown his pen across the room on accident. "Jesus fucking Christ woman!" The creature spoke. Twilight was in a state of shock "You can speak too...?" she analyzed his voice, it was very handsome, it was deep but not to deep, it was a good balance. "Well, I can cook, kick ass, exercise, write, and all the good shit in life, I sure fucking hope I can talk." He was clearly a smart ass. Twilight was intrigued, he was funny, he was actually pretty open about speaking "W-what's your name?" that's all she could manage to ask. The creature sat back in his chair and crossed his arms "Aiden." He seemed to be a bit more serious now. Twilight nodded and looked down at herself, her body was still exposed but Aiden had given her a blanket, she smiled as she thought 'At least he isn't a perv.' she held the blanket to her chest. She looked at him "Thank you Aiden... You kept those guys from..." She shivered at the thought. Aiden smiled "No problem, I was just doing the right thing." he seemed to relax after she thanked him. Twilight nodded and looked around, the place was pretty solid, it had walls and was like a cabin in the woods, it made her wonder if Aiden had built it "Did you build this place?" she asked as her eyes took in the features of the home. Aiden had gone to pick up his pen "Yeah, I built it about... six months ago." he took a seat back down in his chair. Twilight nodded slowly before shaking her head "Wait, six months?!" She was shocked, she hadn't thought that he had been there for that long. Aiden nodded as he turned back to his paper "Yeah, the first couple of months were pretty damn weird. I never thought that I would wake up in a world full of colorful talking ponies, at first I thought it was some weird ass acid trip." He multi-tasked pretty well, he wrote and talked at the same time. Twilight smiled "You don't seem to bother now. I wasn't expecting you to be friendly." she was pretty relaxed around him now that they were talking. Aiden laughed silently to himself "Well, it would be rude to be mean to a pretty, naked girl laying in my bed." he said as his eyes were still glued to the notebook. Twilight blushed slightly, those words coming from a voice like his was arousing "U-uh, thanks." she appreciated his compliment. Aiden sighed and stood up "Well, I'm not gonna make you stay. You're free to leave whenever you want." he said as he looked at her, his eyes met with hers and she saw the glorious blue eyes that he had, his 'shirt' was ripped and pretty much still showed his body, his hair was long and dirty, it was a blondish color, he obviously needed a bath. Twilight was blushing "What if I don't want to leave just yet?" she asked as she hugged the blankets closer to her body, she liked his personality and really wanted to know him better. Aiden raised an eyebrow "Don't you have a nicer home to go to?" he asked with slight confusion. Twilight nodded "I do but just... You seem really nice, I want to know you better." she gave him a kind smile. Aiden laughed a little "You seem cool too Twilight but you should go home, I'm not welcome there and I'm sure you have ponies that are worried sick about you right now." he tried to make her see that she needed to leave. Twilight frowned "Not welcome? You are most definitely welcome! We could really use a guy like you." she had a sad expression. Aiden sighed and scratched his head "You sure? I don't want to disturb the peace or anything, in fact I want to maintain it." he was pretty hesitant. Twilight smiled "You won't disturb the peace! C'mon, just come and see how you like it." she was pretty certain that he was gonna come with her to town, she was a little excited and sat up some, letting the blanket expose one of her breast. Aiden looked at her exposed body and sighed "Put your titty away Twilight." he said slightly disappointed. Twilight looked down and blushed as she pulled the blanket back up "S-sorry... but seriously, come with me." she begged him now at this point. Aiden sighed and rubbed his eyes "Fine, I'll give it a try." he looked down at her "But it better not cause problems." he was pretty serious. Twilight giggled "It won't, especially not when a hot, attractive man is involved." she complimented his looks. Aiden shrugged "I'd prefer cutting this mop off of the top of my head first before you start trying to get into my pants." he sat back down in his chair "I hope they barbers in your town." Twilight smiled "Oh, I can cut your hair for you if you want!" she had practiced cutting hair back when her brother had first joined the guard. Aiden shrugged "I don't care, it's just gonna be hard since I'm dirty." he pointed out the obvious. Twilight nodded "I can help with that." her horn glowed and all of the dirt and grime had been cleansed off of his body. Aiden was weirded out and he stared at her with wide eyes. Twilight giggled "Now, where are some scissors at?" she got up with the blanket wrapped around her body. Aiden would point at her and then at the bed "Sit back down, I don't feel like seeing a naked pony right now." He had some reluctance to the thought of a pony and human relationship. Twilight would sit back down "Still not comfy with the thought?" She asked, knowing why he said that. Aiden stared at her "I don't think I ever will be." He would sit down at the desk and begin writing "Leave whenever you feel like it." He said suddenly plainly. Twilight would look at the ground before getting up with the covers wrapped around her body "Thanks Aiden..." She said before stepping out of the hidden home. Author's Note This story will turn more serious. I've been dealing with personal issues and I'm gonna start using writing as my way of venting. Sorry for the delays.
