THE SYMBOL OF PEACE
Chapter 5
Previous ChapterNext ChapterFred's POV
Me and Ruby just kept walking, we made some small talk here and there, but that was it, we just kept walking in silence, "Man, this is boring, we've been walking for an hour and nothing happened, no Manticore, no trouble, heck, not even a Timberwolf even bothered to show up!" I complained, getting tired of the peace, don't get me wrong, I like the peace as much as anybody else, but you can only take so much peace before it becomes boring. And well, I know I don't like to fight, but that could be the All Might side of me talking.
"I agree, if only a little, but I kinda like the peace, gives me a chance to look at a the pretty flowers." Ruby said, walking to a patch of suspiciously familiar blue flowers, I know I seen those from somewhere, that's when it clicked, grabbing her arm before she could get any closer, she looked at me confused, I shook my head to her.
"Don't mess with those kid, that's Poison Joke, messes with ya, changes you physically, internally or mentally, gave the Main 6 one heck of a makeover, well, Fluttershy had her voice turn into a guys, made Rainbow crash into everything, Applejack was the size of an ant, and much more. So don't go near them, got it." she nodded her, and before we could continue walking, I heard something, it sounded like hooves along with fluttering of wings, "Keep moving, but don't let out stalker know we know they're there." I whispered to the revived Pokemon who just nodded, we continued walking, we could just barely make out the sound of hooves, four sets, and it sounds like they're scattered and confused, good, gives an advantage.
I looked to Ruby, she nodded her head and turned to the bush while I quickly went into my Power Form, while feeling extreme pain, I spun around and released a Smash that pushed all the air in the direction of the hooves, the air tore away all the leaves and bushes, revealing the Main 6. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were flying while the rest were scattered, apparently they were looking for me, probably still after my power, "Alright, so you don't give up huh? Well if you want my power you're gonna have to come get it!" me and Ruby got into fighting stances, with her cannon and claws glowing green while I had one fist pulled back for a Smash if necessary, we were ready to fight if they were going to take my power by force.
"Wait! We are not here for your power! We just wanted to apologise." Fluttershy said, a bit shyly, "We don't know what came over us, it was like a strange hunger for power, your power. It just, appeared, and when you left and we realized what we were doing, it went away."
"And how am I supposed to believe this?" I asked, half believing, half not believing, though leaning towards not believing.
"We know we don't have any proof, but we do have this, cross our hearts," Pinkie said, as she and everypony else made a x over their hearts, "hope to fly, stick a cupcake in our eyes!" Pinkie finished by sticking her hoof in her eyes while the others tried to do the same painfully.
I just stood there in silence, they just did the Pinkie Promise, the one thing that can never be broken, or else, if they did that then I have to believe them, I let out a sigh in defeat, "Alright, I believe you,"
"Wait, just like that, you don't even know what we did?" Rainbow Dash said, "How can you just believe us when we did something you don't even know it is!!"
"You did the dreaded Pinkie Promise, something that should never be broken lest they wish to invoke the wrath of chaos in pony form known as Pinkie, I've heard of it, and I fear its consequences of being broken, whatever that may be." I said, shocking the ponies, except Pinkie, she had the biggest smile you could ever imagine, to which I shuddered at.
"What's wrong?" Twilight asked me with an eyebrow raised.
"Nothing, just a few bad memories." I replied, thinking back to when I first watched Smile, Cupcakes and the Six Winged Serpent, the Creepypasta versions of Pinkie Pie, those videos will haunt me forever. "Anyway, do any of you know who might want my power?"
"Well, there is Discord, he might want your power because of the butt kicking you gave him." Rainbow said with glee when she thought of the fight between me and Discord, "But that's all we could think of that want your power."
"Hmmm, maybe we should contact your rulers, see if they know anything." I said, gaining a nod in response. "Oh and before I forget, this is Ruby, a Pokemon known as Genesect." Ruby shyly waved from behind my back.
"Aw, she looks adorable. I never seen a animal like this before!" Fluttershy said, flying next to Ruby and rubbing her head. Ruby seemed to enjoy it as she leaned in closer to the touch while letting out what sounded like a purr. Fluttershy then looked to me, "What is a Genesect? If you don't mind telling me."
"Well, I don't know much, but they are actually a race of Bug and Steel type creatures from a long time ago. They are also a hive mind, but not many know if Genesect had queens, but we do know they stick together for everything. They even make their own nests. Though they were extinct, some were brought back to life, but I'm afraid Ruby here is the only one here, which makes her an endangered species." I explained, the ponies stared at Ruby with looks of shock and pity.
"Oh you poor thing! All alone without any friends like you. How would like to come visit me someday?" Fluttershy asked, giving Ruby's head a hug.
"I-I would like that." Ruby said, returning the hug. Then I let out a laugh while pulling everyone together for a group hug.
"HA HA HA!!! OH HOW GREAT IT IS TO KNOW THAT MAIN 6 ISN'T AFTER MY POWER!! NOW WE CAN BE FRIENDS AND FIND OUT WHO IS AFTER MY POWER!!!" I bellowed, hugging them harder. Pinkie and Ruby didn't seem to mind, but the other I can tell they were in slight pain. Releasing them, I watched as they catch their breath, then they all looked to me, smiles on their faces.
"Great! And maybe the Princesses can help us find out who is trying to steal your power." Twilight said, "Shall we we go back to the library?"
"Yes. Let us go." I said, then I coughed up blood while changing back into my Weak Form, wiping the blood from my chin, I just smiled. "Gonna have to get use to it, because it's gonna happen every time when I'm in my Power Form." I said to them, and myself, but they didn't need to know that. As we were walking, I couldn't shake the feeling we were being watched, and no matter where I look, I can't seem to find them. Almost as if we were being watched magically, or spiritually. I just shrugged it off, but something told me. My stay here won't be pleasant,
3rd POV
"Shame. I honestly thought the Element Bearers would get that power. Oh well, we have many more pawns to do it for us." the voice said, not even disappointed that Element Bearers failed in their mission. In fact, they knew they were gonna break free of the spell that was placed on them.
"Yes, who shall we use next?" the second voice said, bringing a image with different beings on it, each one a good choice for the voices to use against Fred, "We have sooo many to choose from."
"Hmmm. Decisions decisions." the first voice said, tapping their chin then pointed at each image. "Eenie, meeni, minee." they then stopped at one image that made both smile. "Mo, looks like your the lucky one to obtain All Might's power." They then brought out a doll of the being they selected. The first voice then whispered into its ear, the second voice could tell they were saying a spell, "Don't disappoint us." the doll then glowed an eerie red with a rune appearing on its chest.
The two began to laugh, as the crystal ball that was watching Fred zoomed on him. Unaware of a figure watching them from the shadows.
