Electuroo the Griffon – Missyplaced First

Having a hood of some kind shoved over your head and forced to go where ever the one that hooded you wanted to go wasn't something I was expecting. Soon after landing at whatever we were at I soon felt the feeling of moving downwards and the hood pulled off my head, blinking a few times for the light to adjust I was face to face was a yellow beak and red feathered griffon face with dark red feathers sticking out of the top of his head, six large feathers I counted.

I saw the same golden eyes that looked at me through the flight suit eye slots, it was pulled down back of his neck resting on the back. “So the one that called me 'sire' finally let us see. Got to say that was a nice plough there.”

Gilda spoke up next. “What the big idea grabbing us like that!? And where the heck are we!?”

I took a look around since they wasn't replying for a moment, seeing there was a light blue one and a green griffon, guessing from their beak shapes they were close to the native birds of South America. “We in an elevator and from the look of the metal walls racing upwards an reinforced glass tubular one.”

The red one with the gruff voice wasn't speaking gruff any more. He was speaking as a semi well spoken person from my home would sound like. “Indeed it is and got to admit that all of the generations of preparing for this day is quite surreal to say the least.”

“Can you go back to that other voice, you sound like a dork than a so call elite flyer.” Gilda said in annoyance.

“No.” He said calmly and Gilda groans. “I am Captain Garrot lead griffon of the flight team White Talons and we had to put those hoods over you two for protocol.”

I was about to ask when the walls vanish to see a large city on the cliff face with roads and a massive airship tethered to what look like a sky dock. “Holy cow! A city built on cliff! A CITY BUILT ON BLOODY CLIFF!”

“Okay... That is impressive! I seen Canterlot a few times and thought that was impressive but this takes it on a whole another level!” Even Gilda was surprised and amazed by what we was seeing.

The female green griffon with light blue eyes with blue and yellow head feathers speaks. “I am Swifttalon second in command of the White Talons and Guto City is built into the mountain where the plateau is above us.”

I noticed the night sky with the moon high above with the plateau above hanging over parts of the city. “The whole city built around the cliff isn't it? Your whole city is the mountain... Oh wow wow wow!”

“I am Graffer wing griffon to Swifttalon.” The light blue griffon spoke next. “And yes it is.”

Gilda whistled as the lift slows down. “No wonder you did what you had to do. This is what I call a griffon city!”

The lift enters into an building coming to a step by a set of doors, opening with those doors we all step out into corridor. “Please follow me.” Garrot requested and we followed with the two other White Talons behind us.

We walked up to a door that he opened and we walked through to find that we was in some conference room with a semi round bending table with many seats around it. The view behind was of a artificial lit garden with flowers, trees, grass, benches and a fountain. “Please take a seat.” Garrot gestured to the seats.

I open my wing up in front of Gilda, she look to me and I looked at her with a shake of my head. “The city looks amazing from what we saw but I seen enough flicks to know there more going on then blind fold and show.”

Gilda could see where I was coming from. “The dweeb right. What your game? I saw and heard you call him sire!” She points at the captain of the flight team.

“That is correct.” Garrot sat down at the table. “King Guto left instructions for the White Talons, orders that been past down from one flight team after the other to keep this city safe and hidden from the world. Those orders was to wait till the day the Unblood heir to arrive from a tear of the heavens from a dimension that is fourth.”

The door opens and we turn around to a white griffon walking in with a black blazer on with a white shift against white fur and feathers. The yellow talons and beak really suck out on this griffon. “Captain I have the files on Electuroo as requested.”

“Thank you Snow. That will be all.” He took the folder and the griffon leaves not before his sapphire blue eyes locked on to mine.

“File on me?”

“Indeed.” He open it up and showed a photo of something coming out of a crack in the sky slamming deep into the abyss.

Gilda took it and turn to me. “Your that thing slamming into the abyss aren't ya dweeb?”

“Yeah... Fired like-” I paused and anger started to build inside me. “Oh no no no no and no!”

“Electuroo...”

“Oh I can see where this is going!” I step back. “Unblood heir! Your bloody king made me the heir to this legacy! I am not your pre-destiny paradox! I am just me! Simple me! I don't do crap that lead!”

“We not expecting you to. Sire”

“Wait what?” I blinked with a frown with my anger melting away as I stood there confused. “So... What is it you want of me? If I am this unblood heir?”

Garrot waved the two other griffons to sit down and as they did he answered my questions. “The Unblood Heir will find what was lost. The White Talons are to follow the orders of the heir and allow he or her to follow their own path. But to tell this at the legacy city of the last king of Griffina, the fourteenth ruler King Guto.”

Swifttalon speaks next. “You have what brought the golden era of griffon kind and the end of it.”

“Aye.” Graffer nods. “Best keep that thing in your impossible bag, King Guto knew something was a miss laddy. That is why he started to build this city, the runes that hide the city to the progress that continued beyond his life.”

Gilda turn to me with anger grabbing me by the feathered skin of my chest pulling me up to her almost beak to beak touching. “You have the Idol of Boreas don't you?”

I saw Garrot raise his talon hand up to the others stopping them from moving in to pull Gilda away. “Yes...”

“Tell me why I shouldn't beat the living buck out of you?”

“Simple... Raise and Fall of the griffon kingdom, the greed, the anger and the lack of care for each other.”

Gilda growls and let me go. I rubbed my chest not before she slap me hard across the face. I put my talon hand over the part she slapped. “That for keeping something like that a secret!” And than she hugged me tightly. “And this is for keeping it out of arms reach of any griffon.”

I had my forelegs out with her head just past mine as I felt my torso against hers as he continued to hug me. I finally gave me and return the hug to her and we let go. “I am surprised Gilda... Why?”

“Dweeb you been living under my roof for the last month. I gotta to know you, feather brain.” She poke me in the chest a few times. “And one thing I know for sure you care for those around you even they don't care about you and the fact you told me your not from our reality a week ago.” Gilda held up the photo showing me crashing into the Abysmal Abyss.

I took it from her looking at it. “Also the fact Gilda, I could of laid claim to the throne of the kingdom but I didn't and will not.” I put the photo down on the table sitting down at it.

Gilda sat down next to me. “Yep that too. Electuroo.”

Garrot pulled out a file from under the one with me on it. “This is the current flight team of the White Talons. Sire. The best of the best fliers as well at stealth are within this. There is a total of ten.”

“Just like the Wonderbolts. They have ten members in their team too.” Gilda stated.

“Aye lass that is true but they are more of a performance squad than one that prepared for trouble. We are the elite flyers of the White Talons because each of use has traits that work off each other and alone.” Graffer spoke.

I got an understanding how they are. “If I getting this straight. On one side you have elite flyers that perform as a team almost flawlessly and on the other side you have the elite flyers that work as a team to use the skills they have to be the best they can be at keeping their keen safe.”

“That is correct, sire.” Garrot confirmed.

I took the file and noticed there was a date on top of it. “I am unfamiliarly with this. What does 901AI stands for?”

“That stands for After Idol. The day King Grover was crowded.” Garrot answered.

“And this is the current date?”

“Yes feather brain it is! But to the ponies of Equestria is 998CA” Gilda confirmed and told me of the date in Equestrian too.

So either two years or a little less or over to Nightmare Moon depending when the Summer Sun Festive was. That great to know I guess...

I untied and open the file. “Got it load and clear.” I went on and read the files in my mind.

“-You've been spying on Electuroo, me and the others for the last four weeks!? Tell me why I shouldn't smash your face in!” Gilda growled as I turn my head away from the folder, reading them completely phased me out of what was going on around me.

Now I could see a very anger Gilda now standing on the table holding up Garrot by the flight suit with both of his talon hands over her one. I can see why she upset, spying on us all like that and taking photos...

I look to the files and stared at the hippogriff members, that is when I found one more piece of paper. All it had was one it.

The Precognition. Advisor to King Guto... Precognition... Wait that someone that can see into the future!

“-arrival that night we were foretold the location by the writings of the-”

“Precognition...” I spoke up.

“Y-yes... Part of it was to keep a close eye on the one that found what was lost in the abyss as blacker than night!” Garrot confirmed.

“I am going to ask this once and once only. If you don't answer truthfully Gilda has complete freedom to be the living heck out of you for spying on us.” I said narrowly my sights on the flight captain.

Gilda grinned. “Oh this got to be good if he agree to me on this.” She had her free talon hand pulled back closed into a fist ready to hit him.

“I-I agree to the terms!”

“Good. Precognition... Her name, what was her name?”

If I am right and I believe I am cause this is something she would do to liven things up...

“Missy!”

Gilda lets go upon the name with him landing on his flank and the others coming to his aid. “Missy!?”

“Yes that-”

“I knew it...” All the lights in the room flickered and the large screen in the room turns on. We all turn to see a griffon wearing a purple dress white beak and white feathers wearing a purple hat. “Missy...”

“Ah poppit you figured it out as I knew you would.”

“How about we cut to the chase and show your true self.” I said directly at the screen.

She rolled her eyes. “Fine...” With a few taps of a device on her arm the griffon was gone and the time lord we love and hate appeared in her true form. “Better?”

“Much.” I sat back down on the chair turning it to be face to face of the screen. “Let me guess before we start. This is a transcript conversation over time isn't it?”

“Oh aren't you the smart one?” She chuckled. “Yes I took a page from the tenth doctor's page. Got to say 'Don't Blink' a real thriller! Good way of saying hi to the Weeping Angels!”

All of them looked very surprised by the appearance of Missy. “I like you to meet the Time Lord Missy...” I put my talon hand out to the screen. “The one that saved my life and taking the second life from her I gave up everything I once had...”

“And I know all you lovelies.” She turn to Gilda's direction. “Pigeon.”

“PIGEON!? I am a griffon you dweeb! Gilda!” She flew right at the screen to punch it.

“I am not here Pigeon, are you going to punch a flat screen and electric yourself?” Missy smiled calmly.

Gilda growls and pulls back from punching the screen. “Show yourself you wuss!”

Missy turn to Garrot. “I believe you have a question deary. It says so right here.” She brought up a tablet and point to it.

Garrot step up to the screen as Gilda lands by him still glaring at the screen. “That is correct ma'am. Why did you aid King Guto? That is why this city even exist or we even having this strange transcribed conversation.”

“To make things interesting and got to say what you White Talons and the rest of Guto City done is far better than I expected! You all surprised me! Even for years to go to the moment I get handed this very conversation.” She tap a few buttons on the device on her wrist and five windows appeared around her each showing us.

Swifttalon waved and saw herself wave. “The cameras in the room that records everything that goes on in this conference room! Of course! That how!”

Gilda tilt her head and watched herself do it and the vision one in front was face to face. “Okay! What kind of weird magic is this?”

“Not magic, technology.” I stated. “You seen a camera wheel right?” She nods. “Think of that but 20 times smaller with images and sound travelling through small black or grey cables like that you see on the wall there.” I point to the wall.

Gilda look at the cable and back to me. “Your serious aren't ya? Feather brain.”

“Yes I am.” I crossed my forelegs. “Missy I know this doesn't count as your yearly visit so can we get right to the point please.”

Missy smiled. “I like that about you and that why I made you my first!” She chuckled. “Now... Graffer be a dear and open the door.”

Graffer walked up to the door. “Okay Lass.” He opens it to squawk in surprise and flap his wings jumping back a few feet to find a pile up of six members of the White Talons. “What in griff feathers are you lot doing ears dropping in on this conversation!? It all recorded!”

Missy laughed. “I enjoy that everytime I watch it, that just so classical that it will never get old.”

“Guco not among them.” I stated.

Gilda frown slightly. “We have a pile up of griffons and erm... Griffs with... pony and zebra... halves?” Gilda tilted her head puzzled by what she was seeing. “That new...”

“Youngster that would be the griffon cousins, Hippogriffs.”

“Hippogriffs? It weird...”

“As we would be to them with lion paws and not hooves.”

Both me and Gilda quickly turn around to find a elderly griffon in a flight suit, I point to her with a open beak and turn my head to the door and back again. “H-how-”

“That cub you will have to figure out.” She walk between us to the seat sitting down at it.

Gilda look back and to Guco and back again. “How the hay did she get by us?”

“That what I want to know...” I replied.

Laughter from Missy had the pile of griffs getting up on their paws, hooves and talons. We turn to the screen too. “Ooo poppit that was too good to pass up! Now back to business with all present.” Missy tapped on the arm device. “White Talons and guests. I am the dear that helped your king 200 years ago or so, give it a year or many either way. Time perfect. What happening now will be given to me in the future, how or when that all timey wimey.”

I rolled my eyes. “Please explain to us.” Garrot speaks to Missy. “We found out recently that the griff that suppose to be a griff was in fact some sort of strange looking mammal.” Garrot ruffled his wings. “Something about Time Lord, that would mean time travel and explain how you came to be creating this conversation.”

“That is correct Captain Garrot.” Missy put both hands together moving them down to her lap. “Now deary here is what going to happen. Once this chit-chat is over you all going to be loaded and ready to go for Canterlot via the White Star in 45 minutes.”

“And why would we do that?” Garrot asked.

I slap my forehead. “Never! Garrot! Never ask a Time Lord that question! We will get it now!”

Missy grinned and it gave me the shivers causing me to ruffle my wings. “Correct.” And there it was, she brought up a newspaper. “Now you can see this photo and head line.”

“Ahhhh crap...” I knew it!

Gilda stared at the headline. “White Star of the White Talons landed at Air Pier in Canterlot...”She saw the picture of herself, me, Gabby, Gallus, Garrot, Swifttalon and Blazeclaw walking down the ramp. “That can't be right! That two days from now!”

“And it set it stone. Garrot have a team pick up Gallus, Gabby and the old rude griffon Grandpa Gruff.” She turn to Sparky. “Sparky be a dear and rush off you got a air ship to set say in...” She tap a few more time. “45 minutes starting now. Ta-ta!” The screen goes black.

“Why are you staring at the screen Sparky! Get a move on cub!” Guco shouted at him.

Sparky blinked and shook his head. “Right! I be right on it! I mean I am! My ship! My design! M-”

“SPARKY!” They said in-unison, with a surprised squawk he rushed out of the open door and was gone like a bullet.

Gilda now asked the big question. “Can some griff tell me why reading a newspaper two days from now means 'set in stone'?”

“We explain it on the way to the White Star.” Garrot replied and we started to leave the room.

Gilda calls out. “Explain to me now you dweebs! DWEEBS!”
