Solo Level

1 Week Later
Solo was packing up some things for the trip as he checks on some things before he leaves; doors locks, windows shut, and his shadow guards protecting his home and capturing any intruders who's stupid as shit who will try to break into his home. Solo checked on his Tagalongs to see if they’re ready with their suitcases; Jelly was only packing the important things; soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant and a spray bottle of saltwater for when she starts to dry a bit. Azza was packing her shit as she ordered Hunt to pack her shit as she was packing her dagger to threaten anyone dumb enough to harvest her scales. Tori didn’t own much stuff like clothes but after a shopping spree with the local fashionista for clothes that she wanted for a worker which disgusted Rarity a bit and Tori had bandages to wrap around her chest, a gray shirt and overalls as she wore a helmet to prevent her hair from getting in her way as she forge something. Farox and Akrox packed mostly snacks as they were excited to see a new world but had to keep their powers to themselves, no fire and water breathing as well as ice breathing from Azza. Solo went outside to place as ‘GO AWAY’ sign written large and bold as he sent Princess Butt Cake a letter that his family is going on vacation and don’t ask to join him since nearly every pony in Equestria constantly suck on her tits and can’t live to know nor defend themselves when their princess has gone on vacation. Solo sent the letter through magic as he wrote to Celestia that unless she got her sister back, she could go with them as he went back inside. “Alright! Is everyone ready?” He asked as they came in with their luggage.

“Ready.” Said Jelly.

“In position.” Said Azza

“I’m tough.” Said Tori

“Prepared for the heat.” Said Farox.

“Planned for the rain.” Said Akrox. Solo looked like they all looked prepared.

[Wormhole Portal]

“Okay now remember what I told you guys about my old world.”

“Pretend we’re cosplayers.” They said as Solo remembered that in his old world; all monsters will be killed at sight since monsters that escape from gates or inside of gates, humans get slaughtered, even the innocent bystanders.

“Hey, will there be creeps in your old world?” Asked Azza.

“Isn’t Fluttershy considered a creep for her love for animals?” Said Solo as Azza groaned at that truth. “Also make sure that they don’t know your sizes, ladies. Lust is common with humans and everyone in Equestria.” He said as Azza flipped him off since she’ll hate her future involving love and lust.

“Let’s go. I want to see the world where you once lived.” Said Sky as they all went in as the portal vanished behind them. Princess Celestia burst through the door.

“SOLO LEVEL!!!” She screamed as she looked around “PRINCESS BUTT CAKE?!” She yelled as Solo’s shadows appeared and pointed their weapons at her. Celestia narrowed her eyes on them. “Oh right… forgot about this… dark magic of his…” She muttered as she looked at one of the shadows. “Where is Solo going?” She said as they pointed to the wall to see a note hanging.

To Princess Sun Gut
Going on vacation, don’t bother to find us. Get out of my house or get arrows on your royal ass and I’m not talking about a donkey.
Solo Level

Celestia pouted since she wanted one as well. She paused for a bit and smirked as she looked at one of the shadows. She pulled out a scroll, wrote it quickly and gave it to a Shadow Elf. “Give this to an old unicorn named Kibitz and a young unicorn mare named Raven Inkwell. See ya later.” She said as her horn glowed, along her body as she shrunk in height as her appearance transformed her into a unicorn with an aurora-theme mane and wearing modern common clothes. “I’m going on vacation.” She said as she used her magic to reopen the wormhole portal Solo made and ran in quickly as the portal vanished. The shadows looked at each other and looked at the Shadow Elf who was given Celestia’s letter. They all look unsure and confused by what just happened.

Growing Path Guild
A gate appeared inside the guild, the receptionists and other members witnessed the unknown gate and arm themselves with weapons and magic to attack anything that emerges from that gate. A big tanned muscular man with brown hair and green eyes came out of the office of the guild master and pulled out a massive Spear to smash the head or body of the unlucky monster as they saw an anthropomorphic unicorn walked out of the portal to see many guild members pointing their weapons at it. “Get those fucking weapons out of my face or your healing bills from me are triple!” It yelled as everyone stopped and cheered.

“SOLO!!!” They all cheered as Jelly and the others except for Azza looked confused.

“It was an old threat of his. Anyone stupid enough to pick a fight with him would get their payments tripled.” Explained Azza. “Trust me, they’ll listen to him and fear him.” They turned to the guild master who looked surprised by the new guests.

“Hello there, Azza. It’s a pleasure to meet you again.” He turned to the others. “Good day, my name is Bruno Wilson. The Guild Master of the Growing Path Guild.” Jelly and Tori bowed in respect as the dragon duo took a knee.

“Hello again.” Said Azza as she walked in front of Wilson. “This is the… human was it?” She asked as Bruno nodded “This was the human that one raised Solo when he was once a human child.” She said as they all turned to witness a statue of a human wielding daggers as he looked pissed off.

“That is a memorial statue of XXXX before he became Solo Level.” He explained as the group looked at the statue and compared it to Solo Level as they noticed the rage and the scowl.

“I can see the resemblance.” Said Sky as they nodded.

“Has he ever killed any human that he called Lizards?” Asked Jelly as Richard appeared.

“Big time.” Said Richard “Lizards are the worst sons of bitches but I’m guessing you’re all thinking of regular lizards.” They nodded “Actually Lizards are just a name for hunters who abandon weak hunters like us as fodder for powerful monsters and dangerous quests to earn the big bucks. You know, money or whatever you used as currency.” Explained Richard as Andy and Gwendolyn appear with some snacks and drinks.

“Beware of Lizards.” They both said as Sam appeared.

“That is a warning for all Hunters to know.” He said as they looked at Solo who once yelled that he hated Lizards, but he never meant reptiles. Solo was pushing away his fellow members that were petting his head.

“Quit that crap! I’m not part of a petting zoo and keep your furry fetishes to yourselves, you sickos!” He yelled at his fellow members and new members.

“I’m sorry.” Said a female member named Mandy “But you look so adorable!” She said as she looked at him “I would feel sorry for fighting a unicorn in a gate. Since you are one.” Explained Mandy as Solo rolled his eyes.

“Yeah… the feeling is mutual, but I doubt Equus Caballus would look like me or walk on 2 feet.” Said Solo. “Just remember, if it doesn’t have a tattoo on its hips. Don’t kill it.” Some looked at him wondering why he said that as a wormhole portal opened in front of Solo’s memorial statue.

“What the?!” They all yelled as Solo narrowed his eyes as he pulled out his dagger to stab the monster who comes out of the portal; only to be shocked to witness that it was the one creature he didn’t want to see on his vacation, a unicorn mare until she morphed reveal her true identity.

“Oh, fuck my life… Why are you here?” He said angrily as the intruder looked up to see Solo and frowned.

“PRINCESS BUTT CAKE?!” She yelled at him as Solo looked unamused.

“You mean to tell me; you followed me to complain about my insulting nickname for you?” He said as Celestia cleared her throat.

“I didn’t authorize you to take a vacation.” She said as Solo rolled his eyes as he had to listen to her complaints and nags while Sky was counting.

“40,41,42,43.” She said as Azza looked at the Princess as Jelly looked surprised that she’s wearing common clothes.

“I’m surprised she owns regular clothes.” She said as Celestia looked at Solo.

“And furthermore-”

“Uh… Excuse me?” Celestia turned to Guildmaster Bruno.

“I’m sorry but-” She stopped as her eyes widened in shock seeing Bruno as she looked around to see the armed creatures as she looked around to see they were males and females of creatures she had never seen as she ran to look outside as she backed away. “Oh… no…” She was in a different location; outside of Equestria or maybe even in another world. “*GASP*” She saw a teenager riding a large scooter as she was moving without using magic or her feet. “*GASP*” She saw an adult man using a rectangle object and unleashing a flash at a female and her child. *GASP*” She even witnessed a large metal airship flying in the air. She blinked slowly as she looked at Solo as she grabbed his shoulders “*SCREAMING IN HORROR*”

“2 minutes.” Said Sky as Azza snickered.

“Royal Alicorn is losing her shit.” She said while snickering as she took out a camera “I can’t wait to see how much she’ll pay me for it?” Said Azza as she quickly took a pic & hid the camera as Jelly went to calm Celestia down.

“Easy… your pony highness. Solo will tell you where we are.” Said Jelly as Celestia calmed down as Richard and Bruno went to Solo Level.

“Uh… is that the royal blood that rules the country you’re living in?”

“Yep, that’s Princess Celestia. The Alicorn who rises and lowers the sun.” Said Solo as Richard looked at her and her royal backside.

“She’s got a nice ass.” He said as Solo looked at him and elbowed him in the arm.

“Idiot. She’s over 1000 years and may I remind you of the psychopath that I help the Guild Master killed who rape those monsters for her enjoyment.” Said Solo as Richard lost his boner.

“Damn you…” he said as Gwendolyn walked to Celestia with a tea set.

“Tea?” She asked as Celestia used her magic to levitate the cup of tea and drank it slowly.

“Thank you…”

“Gwendolyn. My name is Gwendolyn Masterson.” She said as Solo went to Celestia.

“Why did you follow me?” He said as Celestia looked at him annoyed.

“I got your letter.” She said as she pulled her letter out of her mane “Your name for me, Princess Butt Cake!” She said as some snickered hearing that.

“If you stopped eating over masses of cakes, you wouldn’t earn those insults.” He said as Celestia narrowed her eyes at him.

“Can you stop with your thirst for killing monsters from another world?” Asked Celestia as Solo rolled his eyes.

“No and you won’t either. Besides, I doubt you can return back to Equestria without my magic. You used the residual magic of my wormhole portal to follow me.” He said as Celestia looked worried as she realized that the residual magic was gone.

“Shit.” She muttered as she looked at him “Where are we anyway? I don't think this is a dungeon.” She asked, “There aren't any monsters, or these creatures are trying to kill us.”

“Yet.” Said Solo “I have some enemies that would want to stay dead.” He said which shocked Celestia “This world is… special. It has a strong sentimental connection to me.” He explained as the humans went to his side as Richard spoke for the guild.

“This guy… Solo Level. Held a special place in our hearts. He is one of our pillars that made this guild what it is.” He said as he and Richard fist bump.

“Yeah…” Said Solo “Also I noticed the decorations.” He said as Celestia, Jelly, Sky, Azza, Akrox, & Farox noticed the fake cobwebs, spiders, bats and pumpkins carved with faces. “It’s Halloween, isn’t it?” He said as the members nodded as his group looked confused.

“Hall-o-Weed?” Said Azza.

“Halloween.” Harold corrected her “It’s a holiday in our world where it celebrates fear and where children & adults choose to wear costumes as they give free candy to children.” He explained as Azza, Akrox & Farox looked surprised as Celestia looked surprised.

“Free Candy?!” They yelled as they looked at each other as they smirked.

“If these humans believe we’re kids in costumes…” Said Akrox.

“They’ll give us candy without any disgust!” Answered Farox as Azza snapped her fingers as she tossed them sacks.

“Set your noses to candy, dorks. We got free sweets to collect.” said Azza as they ran out of the guild as Solo sighed as he looked at one of his fellow guild members.

“I’ll make sure they’re not in any danger or trouble.” Said Sam as he ran after them as Celestia looked out the window to see children wearing costumes as well as the adults.

(“It’s like Nightmare Night… Luna…”) She looked down as Jelly placed her hand on Celestia’s shoulder.

“Are you okay?” She asked.

“Yes… Halloween… that holiday reminds me of Nightmare Night.” She said as the entire guild looked confused as they looked at Solo.

“It’s like a parody of Halloween.”

“Oh…” They all said.

“Do you… fear the night?” She asked as the guild members looked confused.

“Fear the night?” Asked one male guild member, “I mean it's sometimes common to fear it because you don’t know what’s lurking in the darkness.”

“But to be honest, there is some beauty where night has that day doesn’t.” Answered a female guild member “Like the stars, the moon, fireflies and even some flowers that bloom in the night.” She spoke.

“Don’t forget some fairs, and festivals as everyone enjoys partying and dancing til the sun comes up.” Answered another member as they also made their own comments as Celestia looked at them and smiled.

(“If only the ponies in the past were like them, then my sister wouldn’t turn into Nightmare Moon.”) Thought Celestia as she looked at Guild Master Bruno as she gave an elegant bow.

“I’m sorry for my outbursts and my selfish reason to appear in your world.” She said as Solo sighed as Bruno shook her hand.

“It's alright. Besides, XXXX here has a history of pissing off certain royalty who he finds pathetic.” Explained Bruno as Celestia looked confused.

“XXXX?” She asked as Solo shushed her.

“I have a right to keep secrets. Like you keep the secret of your weight.” He said as Celestia turned red and went to slap him, but Solo avoided it. “You have no idea how many did that to me.” He said smugly as the entire guild nodded since they knew how many he said that.

“I can imagine over 1000 times over.” She said as Solo rolled his eyes.

“I was planning to spend a day here relaxing with friends but that’s ruined.” He said as Bruno patted him on his shoulder.

“Calm down, Solo. We’re here for you and want to enjoy our time together until next month.” He said as Solo sighed as he pointed outside.

“I like that but outside is something that people will freak out about. I mean remember the last time a hunter saw a creature that was cute. It killed over 30 hunters and 100 citizens because we got suckered by the cute appearance.” He said Jelly looked shocked as Celestia looked at him. “Never fall for anything cute or it will drain you of your insides, bones included.” He said as he grabbed a knife, turned to see a dartboard with a picture of a cute creature as he threw the knife at the dartboard as it landed between the eyes. “Head stab.” He said as walked away as Bruno grabbed his shoulder.

“Listen, XXXX. I was hoping you and your friends would do something for me?” He said as Celestia, Jelly, Sky & Tori looked confused.

“What something?” Asked Sky as she was prepared to attack if it involved harvesting them.

30 Minutes Later
Solo looked annoyed. “I can’t believe I’m doing this.” He said as he, Celestia, Jelly, Sky & Tori were passing out candy to children as they were holding signs, advertising the guild.

“I never thought I would be used for some creature’s personal gain.” She spoke.

“This isn’t personal gain.” Reply Solo. “It’s more giving out and putting fate in a guild of hunters to make sure they get a chance to live longer as the hunters are putting their lives at risk.” He answered as Celestia looked surprised and looked at the hunters.

“Tell me, Solo. Are there… guilds full of corrupted hunters?” She asked as Solo looked down.

“Like how there are corrupted ponies in your staff.” He answered “Power and greed may be on the side of evil, but it can appear on the side of good. No one is pure good nor pure evil.” He said as Celestia looked at the children.

(“Even teaching can turn the youngest minds to disharmony. Can the Elements of Harmony influence such evils to others?”) She thought sadly as Solo looked up and narrowed his eyes.

“Bathroom break.” He said as Celestia looked annoyed as some little girls wanted their pictures taken with her. They didn’t think that Celestia was a real princess, but they waved goodbye as some just dislike her appearance. It insulted Celestia but… she took it as a sigh as no one will be brown nosing her for her attention.

On a roof of a skyscraper building
A human man was holding a sniper gun and was aiming at the mascots “Such weird mascots.” Said the sniper “Oh well. Those people will be unfortunate victims of a guild’s negligence. I’ll start with the fish girl.”

“She’s a Siren, dumbass.” Said a voice as he turned around to see a dagger heading towards him.

5 Minutes Later
Solo came back with a smirk as he used his magic to give candy to kids and used Candy corn to make a flying monster face as the kids got scared but cheered by his magic as Celestia watched and joined. Jelly sang a song as Tori did a step dance as some kids and adults joined in for fun as Sky flew around the crowd doing tricks.

Hours Later, 11:50 PM
Solo was drinking some water since legally; he is underage with Bruno. “Too bad that you can’t drink with me.” Said Bruno.

“I would be but technically in my new home, Equestria. I’m still underage. I died an adult and grew up from a baby to a teenager. So, until I’m 21; I won’t be drinking soon.” He said with annoyance “Besides, given how protective that world is under the royal sun, only the rich and wealthy can get drunk.” He said as Bruno looked at him.

“You could make your own moonshine?” He whispered to Solo.

“I’m planning for the single adults who want to forget their memories.” He whispered back as Celestia wasn’t watching. “Anyway, you’ve been like the father I never abandoned before I perished. I’m… sorry that I forced you to end my life.” He said as Bruno placed his hand on Solo’s shoulder.

“You would’ve done the same thing.” Said Bruno as Solo thought about it and nodded.

“And I would have to drain myself to make sure you heal from that fatal wound.” He spoke as Bruno gave him a thumbs-up.

“Live your life how you want it.” He said as he looked at Jelly. “Also… about the fish pony?”

“Jelly Lyric or her guardian's name for her pod, Man o’ War Cry.” He said as Bruno looked at her with disbelief. “She was a shy girl before growing up into a badass, anyway she’s a Siren. She can charm others with her voice and feed on their negativity but since I’m naturally negative, she’s healthy.” He explained as Bruno looked at her.

“I guess she’ll have a hard time finding a lover.” He said as Solo shook his head.

“She already has a fiancé.” He said as Bruno looked at Solo as he pointed at himself which horrified Bruno.

“YOU?! The one who said romance is a poison, relationships are nothing but living parasites.” He said as Solo rolled his eyes.

“Yes, yes. I said all that but given how I died. Maybe, having some offspring would have been a smart thing to have but… I don’t know if my birth parents will allow my bastard children to live their lives.” He said as he looked at Bruno “Have they-” Bruno nodded.

“When they heard you died, they were grateful for ‘The Lord’s Will’ or whatever crap they spewed. Unfortunately, a gate appeared in their church and given their belief that Hunters are the devil’s worshippers, they did not survive.” He explained as Solo frowned.

“Figures.” He said as he looked at Bruno. “Tell me this, have you got any kids?” Bruno nodded as he pulled out a picture of 5 kids; 2 boys and 3 girls.

“Cute.” He said Celestia, and the others came. “Time to go?” He asked.

“I’ve enjoyed being treated like a common citizen by children where they don’t have to bow to me. I also wish to buy some of the cakes of this world.” Said Celestia.

“Figures.” Said Solo “Hence, Princess Butt Cake.” Celestia turned red hearing that as Solo tossed her a brochure with a picture of different kinds of cakes.” He said as Celestia looked at it and drool at the cakes. “Knew it.” He said as He made the money sign. “It cost money princess.” He said as Celestia tossed a large sack filled with bits but for Bruno was gold and silver coins.

“Buy me one of each of these cakes.” Said Celestia as Solo looked at her.

“Wait in a month for Bruno to buy them. Can you make an account for her?” Asked Solo as Bruno nodded as he wrote on a sheet of paper.

“What’s her last name?” They all looked at him.

“What’s a last name?” They all said as Solo smacked himself.

“Forgot that most families in Equestria don’t have a last name. Just use Lunar as her last name.” He said as Bruno nodded as Solo looked turned to the statue.

[Wormhole Portal]

Solo created a portal as they all entered as they waved farewell to everyone. “Hey Princess, I was wondering about something. Who did you have to watch over your throne?” Asked Solo as Celestia smiled.

“Don’t worry, Raven & Kibitz are always reliable and know how to handle certain ponies who demand unfair requests.” Said Celestia.

Earlier in Equestria
Raven and Kibitz were surrounded by angry crowds.

“Listen to my request! I found a massive resource of rare metals located in a location of Equestria! Allow me to dig them up!” Yelled a Unicorn Mare.

“Yes, but it also involves destroying a village owned by Minotaurs to do so.” Said Raven.

“Who cares about them bulls! They’re wasting those resources for nothing but crafting meaningless garbage! I say we evict them from there now!” She yelled as Raven raised her hand.

“NO! Princess Celestia would never allow that!” She screamed as some smirked.

“And who's to say we need her permission?” Said an arrogant stallion. “Who's gonna stop us from getting that metal?” He said as he felt a tap on his shoulder, he turned to see the Shadow Elf holding its daggers as the angry crowd stopped yelling as it did a quick swipe as it sliced off some of the ponies’ manes as Kibitz and Raven acted professional.

“That is… a creation of Princess Celestia from what she learned from her sister. A living shadow creation. It's here to handle those who would act behind Celestia’s orders.” Explained Raven as the Shadow smirked as a unicorn stallion’s horn glowed.

“Light will-” Before he could finish, the Shadow Elf punched the unicorn between the eyes as he fell down with one punch.

“We warned you.” Said Kibitz as the crowd fled as the Shadow Elf smirked as both Raven and Kibitz smiled.

“Thank you so much.
