Outlander
Chapter 7: First contract
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI turn to the right and see 8 mares 6 of them I recall seeing it town, but the tall white one and dark blue one seem to be the same sub spices as the lavender mare, wait she's here too the 3 with horns and wings step forward towards me and the white one started to speak.
“I am Celestia co-ruler of Equestria and Princess of the sun, it has come to my attention that you have caused trouble in my kingdom, what do you have to say for yourself?” Celestia asked looking down on me as if I were a peace of dirt.
“Ok first thing first I didn’t do anything until she hit me,” I said pointing at Rainbow Dash “Then she attacked me when my back was turned,” I said moving my finger to Twilight before lowering it.
Celestia the white bitch looked over at Twilight and spoke in a very low and aggressive tone “Is that the truth Twilight?”
The lavender one, Twilight answered with a nod and cast her eyes to the floor. She then spoke to me “It would appear that there has been a miss understanding so just come with us a…,” Celestia did not finish her offer before I interrupted her.
“Didn’t ask, don’t’ need it, go fuck yourself,” I answered before she could finish the offer.
The dark blue one spoke up and said “We strongly suggest you reconsider that decision Outlander.” Luna said in warning.
“Is that a threat? because if it is then it's not a good one.” I said in an aggressive tone of my own. Celestia seemed to lose her temper with me as her horn glowed and she fired a spell at me, at the same time I cast a thunderbolt so powerful that the lightning was jet black.
When the spells hit they made a shock wave that seemed to fracture the cliff making my half of the fort drop by 5ft, I look to the left and right and come up with a plan so crazy that Discord himself would be proud of it. I lift my left leg and do a quarter clock wise turn and slam my foot down sending black lightning through the ground to the fracture, as it hits it goes left and right at the same time breaking the cliff of and making it start to fall, the mares look at me in shock at what I just did.
The princess’s jump into the air wings extended I turn my back to them letting my cloak blow in the wind, as the fort falls to the ground the courtyard floor under my feet go's from horizontal to vertical. I slid to down to the watch tower door and jump landing on the side of the watch tower and then I run up the side of the tower get a look at the horizon as the fort falls.
I put my magic into my legs and do a back flip as Celestia moves under me trying to grab me. Luna try’s a more direct approach of landing on the tower and run up to grab me, as she gets close I wrap lightning and fire around my fist. I throw the punch in her direction sensing a spiral of lightning flame at her knocking her off the tower.
Celestia is coming from behind again so I wrap the lightning flame around my right leg spin on the spot, and kick Celestia in the gut sending her back the way she kame. I look over the side to see how much time I have before the fort hits the ground maybe a few seconds.
Out of the corner of my eye I see a pace of stone from the fort hit Twilight on the back of the head as she was preparing a complex spell, she starts fall at that speed if she hits the ground she could die “Shit,” I said turning in her direction.
Get low and with all my strength kick off and jet towards her, not as fast enough I use my magic to make jets of flame coming of my feet to increase my speed, and this time I catch her flip right side up and the jets on my feet go full power, as I shoot back up to what’s left of the fort.
As soon as I’m back to ground level I cut the flame jets and used healing magic to heal Twilight’s injury I make some ice, rip off my right sleeve and use it to hold the ice to her head to dull the pain I look to her friends and wave them over.
“She got hit by a piece of falling stone on the back of the head, I’ve healed the injury but she needs a hospital, you need to take her now!” I shout and turn around and see Celestia.
“You saved her life I believe we have miss judged your intentions and integrity, for saving my former students life I hear by absolve you of all crimes you may or may not be responsible for,” Celestia said in gratitude.
“Just get her the medical attention she needs,” I said as I go to the new cliff side look over my shoulder at them “I'm just a man doing what I think is right,” I said and did a leap of faith of the edge they all come to look over the edge, see me do a flip and when I land the dust clears and they see me walking off like it was nothing.
“That was awesome!” Rainbow Dash shouted.
5 days later Pony vile hospital Twilight woke up with a killer headache and looked around, she see could see Luna in the seat next to the bed holding a piece of torn red fabric in her left hand “I see you are finely awake Twilight.” Luna said getting up and helping Twilight sit up.
“How long have I been here… and what happened exactly?” Twilight asked.
“To answer your question you have been hear five days, and the doctors will want you in for two more after you wake to make sure that there is not any long term damage, after you got hit in the back of your head by a falling stone, if the Outlander did not see what happened see when he did you might be dead,” Luna answered with a series face and flat tone.
Twilight blushed as remembered a blur of the Outlander caching her “So he saved… me why?” Twilight asked.
“All he said after that was to get you to the hospital and that, he is just man doing what I think is right and then he jumped off the cliff and walked off at the bottom, no pony has seen him since then anyway you need your rest, we Alicorns might heal faster and live longer but we can be killed and die so focus on regaining your strength.” Luna answered.
Meanwhile 5 days in the other direction, I am sat in a corner both of a place called the Train Station inn with a cold cider in my hand, how did I get it well the inn keeper had some lingering projects that needed finishing. Lucky for her and me I was able to finish the jobs for her and she paid me with a free room and 300 bits for the quality of the work, I also helped give the inn a new coat of paint with my magic free of charge.
The inn keeper tolled my about some monsters that where nearby and had been choking the towns tourist market, so I’ve been thinking I have magic I have a lightsaber why not be monster hunter and make some money, sounds like a plan to me so I raise my mug of cider and down it. I got up and walked over to the bar “Can you get the inn keeper for me?” I asked the Bartender.
“Of course I’ll let her know you want to see her,” the Bartender answered and walked into the back room. A few moments later the Bartender and Innkeeper kame out of the back room and the Bartender went back to washing glasses.
“Did you need something else Outlander?” The innkeeper asked the Innkeeper was a fairly ordinary Earth Pony, with light brown fur spiky orange mane and tail and dressed in a casual, suet, trousers and shoos.
“I remember you saying something about a monster somewhere nearby, I was wondering if there is a reward for its head.” I asked.
“My sister is the mayor and she has put a reward of 500 bits for the beasts head… so should I tell my sister you’ve taken the job?” the Innkeeper asked.
“That’s right but I’m going to need to know where the last attack was and where the most recent sighting were,” I answered and started preparing myself for whatever I was getting myself into.
“The last attack happened a few hours before you arrived yesterday, just follow the road south from town you’ll know the spot there blood everywhere, and no pony sees it and lives… my name is Ginger Ale by the way,” Ginger said revealing the place to start looking.
“Thanks that’s a good lead I’ll look into it right away,” I said as I walked out the door and made my way to the site of the last attack. Arriving only a few minutes later I realised, Ginger was not lying it was a massacre and there was blood everywhere, a cart flipped on its side and even small bits of meat in places. “Fuck me… this was over kill,” I said looking around for any tracks that could be followed.
I decide to look at the cart and pull it back up right the left side of the cart had been smashed but no blood I then look at the front of cart and notice a rancid smell that can be described as rotting corpses in pig shit.
“Fuck in hell that stinks like a bog,” I said noticing that a part of the cart had been chewed on and was thick with saliva that was the sours of the smell.
“That explains the stink… the beast has bad breath, to find it I need to follow that stink,” I said putting a hand to my face to block the smell. Turning around and following the smell in to the trees, I was able to see tracks and claw marks in the trees so I stopped to look at them. “Looks like a large dog or a wolf track but, the front track is different ripped up by long claws like the claw marks on the tree,” I said turning around to examine the claw marks on the tree.
“Tour clawed finger and a clawed thumb almost six feet off the ground… tall, wolf like tracks, clawed hands, walks and runs on all fours and up right… all the characteristics of a classic Werewolf which explains the massacre on the road,” I said as I noticed the sink was getting stronger, so I slowly pull my hood down and reach for my lightsaber and slowly turn around.
I don’t see anything but I can hear snarling and the smell is almost unbearable, I ignited my lightsaber and took a two handed stance, ready to strike as soon as the beast kame into sight. A moment later the beast which I thought would be a werewolf, was actually a reptilian creature with a similar build it jumped high in an attempt to pin me down.
I went low lightsaber above my head and cut the beast in half as it went over me killing it in one move “That was close if I reacted a second later I’d be dead, oh well time to take the head and claim the reward,” I said cutting the head off the beast and returning to the town.
