Chapter 8: Rumble at Canterlot

3rd POV

Location: Canterlot center

A few days have passed after the reveal and apparently, Frank was getting a lot of attention than what he was used to back on earth and boy was this new for him.

He had been receiving requests from news ponies for an exclusive interview with him about his life as a real-life superhero and better detail on the invaders that came to his world. Another bizarre thing was the request from various nobles who wanted to date him much to his surprise since he assumed that they would find him repulsive and was creeped out once he read one of their letters.

In the end Frank had to deny many of their requests seeing is how some of the things from his past were personal and that the messages from the nobles were getting a bit too much for his liking, but it only seemed to make things worse as more of them came. And it wasn’t until Celestia, and Luna had to put their hoof down and kindly requested them to stop hounding him and soon they did. Though what was weird was how they did it as they said it with a kind smile, yet he was able to sense their power as they were giving off an aura that said that if you don’t stop, we will eradicate every single one of you.

Speaking of the sisters they had made his stay at the castle great as Frank would find himself spending time with them whenever they weren’t busy as he would find himself taking walks with Celestia in the Gardens and having tea with her. And in some nights, he would find himself star gazing with Luna as well as attending night court with her as Frank got to meet some of the more nocturnal nobles in the kingdom though for some reason they would shake in his presence.

Eris would also pop in literally to hang out though she would occasionally rub her cheek into his which he found kind of cute for some reason, however he would also notice the sisters glaring at Eris for even doing that. On some occasions he would see Rainbow Dash as she would keep him up to date on how her friends were doing and how they have been dying to meet him though mostly Twilight who is still in disbelief to what he is.

Things seem to be looking up for the human, but little did he know that the peace would soon come to end for a certain event will take place that will soon break that peace. It is a peaceful day in Canterlot as the citizens go on with their lives some still in shock that an actual superhero is here in their fair kingdom and is currently residing in the castle of the royal sisters. Many of the residents are seen walking around and talking about the human in question as some of the nobilities have also started to form an interest in the human stallion some with good intentions while some plan to use him for their own gain. However, standing on the rooftop was a mysterious hooded figure stood before the sight of Canterlot as this strange individual held a strange looking crystal as it sparked with yellow electricity as the hooded being formed a sinisterly as his sky-blue eyes looked beyond the city before saying three simple words.

“Let it begin.”

Frank POV

Location: Castle Gardens

I lay under the shade of a tree in the castle gardens looking back at all that has happened so far and how I am still wondering if all of this is real. Never in my life did I ever believe that I would ever arrive in a world like this, nor did I think a world like this ever existed, but then again, I didn’t think aliens existed until they arrive to conquer earth. Still the fact that I am living in world from a TV show is still mind-boggling to me however this also brings another question to me one that I have been debating on ever since I first arrived here in Equestria.

Should I tell Celestia and Luna about the show and how I knew more about them and everyone else because of it. That has been something that has been on my mind for the past few days and every day I worry about how they may react knowing that their lives and the lives of their ponies were being told in the form of a show. After spending time with them I have started to see them as very good friends even though our first meeting was weird and violent, I have grown to like them a lot plus I hate having to hide this from them after telling them my life story. Still how could I explain that I know about this world in the form a TV show and that I also know them through the fandom which was also another can of worms since I didn’t want to reveal that part since part of the fandom has made some stories that boils my blood and prayed that nothing like this exists here.

“Frank are you here?”

Said I familiar gentle voice I sat up and saw Celestia looking around before spotting me as she smiled and oh boy what a smile that was as she proceeded to walk towards me.

“I was wondering where you were since I didn’t find you at the training ground.” she said as I scratched the back of my head with a sheepish grin.

“Well usually I was, but Steel Wing told me that my exercising was distracting the guards. Which I found odd until I notice some of the female guards were watching me much to my bewilderment so I decided to do it else where and thought this would be a better place though I made sure to not do any cardio to not mess up the grass land here.” I tell her however it was then that she sniffs something in the air as her face goes red.

“Oh… I see.” She said though her voice sounded a bit restrained.

“Celestia are you alright? Your face seems a bit red you’re not sick or anything are you?” I said as I quickly stood up and got close to her as she stepped back a bit.

“It is alright I am fine. Though I am surprised that you are exercising since you’re already powerful.” Said the princess as I couldn’t deny her words.

“Well after doing it for a long time it’s become a habit of mine. Though I don’t do it like it was some lifestyle like many body builders I do it because I want to have a strong healthy body.” I say honestly as Celestia smiled at my answer.

“That I can’t argue me, and my sister have done the same even though we are alicorns and have powerful magic we still need to build up muscle from time to time. Though Luna has been constantly telling me to lay off the cake due to a certain part of me that is getting bigger whenever we exercise.” She said as she looked at her romp with an annoyed sigh as I raised an eyebrow at her statement.

“What do you mean? Where I come from its something that most guys find attractive in a woman though compared to you yours would make the women back home to die with envy.” I say only to realize what I just said as I covered my mouth and look to Celestia who was completely red in the face.

“Hay Wae I am sorry I didn’t mean to say something weird like that I just-…” I was cut off as she raised her hand before looking away from me before clearing her throat.

“It is alright Frank. I know that you were only being honest with your words and well… its nice to know that someone finds that part of me attractive.” She said as I looked away sheepishly still embarrassed at what I just said to her even though I was being honest I tend to say it without thinking.

“Putting that aside what are you doing here all alone in the castle gardens?” asked Celestia as I stared at her nervously trying to figure out how to explain this.

“Well, I came here to think about something. Something that has been on my mind for quite a while now.” I answered as this seems to interest the solar princess.

“Pray tell that were you thinking about that made you want to be alone here. If you don’t mind me asking.” She responded though she said the last part in a shy tone which sounded cute as I shook my head trying to figure out what I was going to say.

Honestly, I want to tell her and Luna about the show, but I am not sure how they will react to me knowing about them and their world through a creation of fiction by a human woman called Lauran Faust back on earth. And would they hate me for keeping this a secret from them these thoughts were running around my head, but I was reminded of how these two had welcomed me into their home offered me a place to stay and even welcomed me to their fair kingdom. Knowing what I had to do I soon faced Celestia and was about to tell her everything until-…

BOOOM!!!!!!!!!

The sound of an explosion is made shaking the ground as both me and Celestia held a look of shock at the sudden act.

“By the Sun what was that?” Asked the princess as I then heard screams of terror through my enhanced hearing as I then flew up into the sky only to look on in horror at the sight of some stone golems wreaking havoc in the streets of Canterlot. As one of them fires a yellow beam from its eyes as hits onto a nearby building causing it to explode while others swung there large stone hands onto the closest building.

I then set myself down before looking towards a worried Celestia.

“Celestia, Canterlot is under attack.”

3rd POV

Location: Streets of Canterlot

The citizens of Canterlot were running in terror as Stone Golems started to tear the streets apart slamming their stone fists on the ground some had even swung at buildings next to them as the citizens tried to run to safety. Many of the nearby guards tried to stop their yet there attempts to stop them were futile as they weapon barely did anything to damage them even the unicorn guards with their magic were unable to stop them as their beams seem to bounce off them. Some of the Pegasus guards tried their best to attack only for them to be swatted from the air by the golems as they continued their rampage. However, they were soon swept up from the ground by a blur as many of the civilians along with some downed guards were then brought to the center of the town where Princess Celestia and some of her solar guards formed a defensive perimeter as Celestia charges up her horn to form a barrier.

Two well-known unicorns a stallion and the other a mare a were also trying to escape from the golem’s wrath when the unicorn mare trips and falls on the ground. The unicorn stallion takes notice of this and goes back to her and helps her up only for one of the golems to raise its stone hand over them and proceeds to bring it down as the two unicorns hold on to each as they closed their eyes knowing that their fate had been sealed. Yet it didn’t come and as the two slowly opened their eyes they are shocked to see that the golems stone fist was stopped by none other than the human named Frank who held the golems large fist with his metal hand at bay.

The human then turns around seeing the shocked faces of the two unicorns as he was surprised to see who they were. The unicorn stallion had a blue mane, tail, and mustache, white coat, wore a monocle on his eye, and wore a fancy looking suit with a purple bow tie which this time had pants along with it. The unicorn mare that he was holding onto had a light pink mane and tail hade a white coat and wore a white dress with gold accents and a purple scarf around her neck with a figure that would make any model die with envy. For these two were none other than Fancy Pants and his wife Fleur di two ponies who were actually one of the more honorable nobles in the kingdom.

Note: this was the only picture I could find of these two as anthros. Also thumbs up to the artist who made this.

“Are you both alright?” asked the human as it breaks them out of their shock as they both nodded as Frank sighs in relief as he then slams his left hand onto the golems fist causing it to crumble into pieces as the golem then stumbles back.

“You need to leave now Princess Celestia has already formed a barrier in the center of the town head over their quickly while I deal with the golems.” He said though as the two unicorns nodded as they got their hooves.

“Thank You Mr. McCloud both me and my wife owe you our lives for this.” Said Fancy as he and his wife ran off leaving Frank to deal with the Golem as it brings its other fist down only for Frank to dodge it and proceeds to run over its arm up before jumping up as he brings his metal fist down shattering the golems head.

“ORA!!” is what Frank says before driving his hands into its body and proceeded to the tear it apart in half killing it as it lays lifelessly on the ground. Out of nowhere a beam of energy is fired towards him as Frank blocks it with both arms the force of it dragging him back a little before it stops as Frank looks at it in annoyance before pointing at it and fires a beam of solar energy that hits straight through its chest before receiving 5 more shots as the golem then collapses with 6 large holes on its chest.

“2 down…4 to go.” Said Frank only to hear another boom as a golems severed head is seen in the air before it lands in front of him as he looks over to the distance sensing a familiar lunar energy.

“Make that 3 to go.” He said before dashing off toward the direction of the blast knowing who it was and hoped that the pony in question was alright.

In the distance Princess Luna is seen hacking away at a golem with a black and dark blue scythe severing its right arm, then the left leg, before slashing its chest leaving a large slash mark and in retaliation the golem fires a beam of yellow energy towards the lunar princess. Luna then dodges to the right avoiding the blast as she then dodges to the left as the golem fires a second beam as the princess charges her horn as it sparks with energy before firing a large energy ball hitting the golem as it explodes into pieces.

Luna stood up twirling her scythe around as she laid it over her shoulder with an annoyed look on her face as the explosion earlier had woken her up as this day she had just finished dealing with the nobles and paperwork that she was looking forward to only for this to happen. However, she was unaware of another golem in the distance as it fires a beam towards her as Frank arrives in the nick of time blocking it with his arms much to Luna’s surprise as Frank pushes himself forward charging towards the golem as he fires his own eye beams with much more power as the golems upper body at its attack stops as its body was covered ice. Driving his fist through Frank shatters it into pieces as Luna stood there in awe as Frank then dashes back to her on foot and was now in front of her.

“Luna are you alright?” asked Frank in a concerned tone as this breaks Luna from being star struck as she looks back at him.

“I am fine Mr. McCloud; I must say you performed some unique skills during the fight makes me wish I saw how you dealt with those raiders back in Ponyvile. Though I should have been more careful with my surroundings for if I had not been distracted, I would have seen the enemies attack.” She said as she felt ashamed of that.

“It’s not your fault Luna besides after being violently woken up thanks to these things your focus is probably off. The important thing is that you’re alright and that’s all that matters. By the way you don’t have to call me Mr. McCloud, Frank is just fine since you and Celestia said it was fine for me to call you by name.” Frank said as Luna shyly looks away from him however the last golem then arrives as the two turned to it in a defensive stance as they took notice how different this golem was compared to the others.

While the other golems had a normal stone blocky body with yellow glowing eyes this golem was much larger and emanating a strange power from its body as yellow crystal spikes covered its shoulders and lower arms as well as large crystals sticking out of back with some crystals sticking out of its head in the form of a crocked crown.

“Damn you…. DAMN YOU ALL! YEARS OF PLANNING FOR MY TAKEOVER OF THIS CITY RUINED BY YOU TWO. A MONKEY FROM ANOTHER WORLD AND ONE OF MY DAMN AUNTS GETTING IN MY WAY TO FINALLY TAKE THE THRONE AND RULE THIS KINGDOM.” Said the golem in a snobbish tone that would make anyone groan in annoyance.

“That voice…It can’t be…Blueblood? BLUEBLOOD WHAT IS THE MEANING OF ALL OF THIS!” said Luna as she uses the Canterlot voice as she angrily yells as her nephew growls at her.

“SILENCE! YOU’RE TALKING TO THE NEW KING OF THIS LAND AND I WILL MAKE SURE I FINISH WHAT MY CONTRUCTS HAD FAILED TO DO!” said the golem who then began to emit yellow sparks from its body before firing bolts of lightning towards the duo as they dodged out of the way.

The two then charge towards Blueblood as they leaped up into the air as Luna swings her scythe hitting his left eye as Frank then delivers a drop kick towards his chest as the force pushes him back as Blueblood steps back a bit. Angered by this Bluebloods body is then engulfed in electricity as Luna backs away sadly Frank was not so lucky as he is electrified before being blasted away hitting the ground with as thud as Frank lifts himself up. He then rolls out of the way avoiding a strike from Blueblood who brought his hand down followed by another one as Frank catches it as the stone hand brings him down a bit much to the spoiled prince enjoyment. However, that feeling soon faded when the human begins to the lift the hand back before delivering a strong right hook to the prince’s stone hand shattering it into pieces before sending a barrage of punches to the rest of the arm while yelling ora multiple times as the prince backs away his right arm cracking up before shattering it in a shower of stone and crystal. It was then that Luna comes charging in as she attacks the left arm only for her weapon to bounce of as Blueblood takes notice of this and starts swinging his arm at her as Luna flew around him avoiding the swings as Frank lends her aid as he fires two beams of blue at the left arm covering it in ice as he then fires a blast of fire toward the prince’s face though it did nothing to him since he was covered it stone it distracted him long enough for Luna to attack the arm again as she swings her scythe the strike slicing it as half of the arm slides off before shattering it. The rest of the upper arm begins to crack as it also shatters as the prince was now standing with no arms much to his disbelief.

“Stand down Blueblood surrender now and you will be spared from any more harm.” Said Luna as she and Frank floated before the prince as he grew more and more angry.

“I WILL NOT BE SURRENDERING TO THE LIKES OF YOU AND THE MONKEY THERE!” He yelled out as the prince was now enraged as he lets out a loud roar as his body sparked with electricity as multiple bolts of lightning fired all around him as Frank and Luna tried to avoid the bolts as one lucky bolt hits Luna on her right wing shocking the lunar princess as she starts falling. But just before she could hit the ground Frank leaps into the air catches her as they both land safely on a nearby rooftop though Luna soon turned red once she realized that Frank was holding her up bridal style as he then sets her down on her hooves.

“You, okay?” asked Frank as Luna nodded however, she soon flinched as she felt a burning pain on her wing which was now badly burnt as well as other parts of her body

“OH, DID I HURT THE LITTLE PRINCESS DON’T WORRY I WILL MAKE SURE THAT NEXT STRIKE ENDS YOUR MISERABLE EXISTANCE?” Taunted the prince as Frank got angry at this and stares him down.

Frank POV

I knew this guy was a spoiled brat but to think this stallion planned on attacking Canterlot with a golem body along with a stone army and then take over the throne is crossing the line. Especially if it meant hurting his own people and his family as this was enough to make my blood boil.

“HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO YOUR OWN PEOPLE AND TO YOUR OWN FAMILY?” I yelled out as Blueblood stood in defiance.

“I DO WHAT I MUST TO ACHAIVE MY RIGHT TO RULE THIS KINGDOM AND EVEN IF I KILL SOME WORTHLESS PONIES AND MY OWN AUNTS TO DO IT THAN SO BE IT. THIS IS MY KINGDOM, MY LAND, MY RIGHT TO RULE THEM ALL! TO THINK THAT SOME SOLAR GUARDS THOUGHT I THEY COULD STOP, BUT THEY SOON REALIZED HOW WRONG THEY WERE AFTER SQUASHING THEM LIKE THE BUGS THEY ARE AND SOON YOU AND MY AUNTS WILL SHARE THE SAME FATE.” Yelled out Blueblood as I heard Luna gasp at this while I stared at him with an angry glare at the bastard right in front of me while something within me starts rising up as I clenched my fists tightly as a low growl escaped my lips.

“M-Mr. McCloud are you okay?” Said Luna as I looked behind me to see with a very concerned look on her face.

“I think you should sit this one out Luna and contact your sister to send in some medics to our location to treat you. I on the other hand will deal with the brat myself.” I said as my body was then engulfed in black energy as my jacket turned black with metal spikes on the shoulders while my eyes turned black around my yellow irises as I raised my right hand as a familiar double-bladed axe appeared as I twirled it around.

Without out warning I dashed towards the prince delivering a powerful left jab to the chest as my punch punctures into his chest followed by as a powerful roundhouse kick that shatters a chunk of his stone chest causing the prince to back away in disbelief. He then tries to fire more lightning as his body charges up as I dashed behind him and drove my axe into the prince’s back destroying the crystals there as the electricity fades from his body as I delivered 4 more strikes as I before setting myself down as the golems body begins to break apart.

“YOU… YOU DESPICABLE CREATURE I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD FOR THIS.!!!” Yelled out Blueblood as he then leaves his stone body as it falls a part while he comes charging at me wearing the same crystal crown with eyes of a rapid animal and long razor-sharp claws as I then back handed him back a few steps. I then proceeded to walk towards him and proceeded to slap him around left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right as the last one sends him on the ground as I got in front of him as Blueblood stood before me still in defiance.

“ENOUGH… I AM A PRINCE YOU OVERGROWN APE AND I WILL NOT BE BULLIED BY-…” he was soon cut off as I grabbed him by his left leg and proceeded to slam him in multiple directions like a sack of potatoes then stopped for a moment to see if he was still breathing before continuing as the last on left him laying on his back with a look of total pain on his face. After letting him go I then grabbed his crown and pulled it off his head as Blueblood reverted back into his normal self as became smaller than as he still had a face of pain.

“Puny Prince. And I am not a damn monkey you pompous little shit.” I said in an angry tone as I took a deep breath to calm myself down as my dark form faded and I was now back to my regular form.

I then heard wing flaps and hoof steps as I turn around to see members of the solar guard approaching the area as Celestia is seen setting herself down will holding onto Luna as the two walk over to me. And before I could say anything they then wrapped me in a loving hug Celestia hugging my left side and Luna my right side as I stood there in surprise before they let me go.

“I am glad that you’re alright Frank and I also thank you for saving my sister during the fight.” Said Celestia as her sister nodded at me.

“I thought that I was going to hit the ground, but thanks to you I was able to land with ease when you caught me from the air. I can’t thank you enough for this Mr. McCloud.” Said Luna as some of the guards nodded in approval except for Steel Wing who looks away not wanting to admit the fact that I saved him after being back handed from one of the golems. It was than that they notice the crystal crown in my hand as I lifted it up for them to see.

“What is that?” asked Luna as looked back towards the prince who is still on the dirt.

“The source of that brat’s power though I can tell you this it’s seems to be like the one used by Garble in the attack in Ponyvile. Though this one seems to have a different element and if its anything like the last one…” I say before crushing it in my metal hand as a ball of light glows within it before being absorbed into my hand as I then felt a rush of energy surge within me as my vision goes white for a moment before reverting to normal.

I then turn to the sisters who stare at me with wide eyes as well as I felt something in my right hand found myself holding a two-handed battle hammer of stone with yellow crystals protruding from its sides as it sparked with electricity the energy running down my arms as begin to admire the sight of it.

“Seems that I gained a new ability and one similar to the god of thunder.” I say as I look at everyone else to see them with looks of surprise and awe probably since they never seen anything like this.

It was then that Blueblood let out a groan as we all turn to him the guards pointing their spears and other weapons at him as he forced himself up before laughing maniacally at us much to our bewilderment.

“What is so funny Blueblood haven’t you realized that you are in serious trouble for what you have down.” Said Celestia who had an angry look on her face as Luna also looked at him with distain.

“You not only attempted to murder me and Frank, but you also murdered many of our guards and the damage you have down her in Canterlot.” Said Luna as Blueblood then looked us with a psychotic look on his face.

“heh heh heh I may have lost, but that doesn’t mean that this is over. After all today and what happened back in Ponyvile is just the beginning for there will be others to finish off where I have failed. And not even that monkey can stop what is coming, and also-…”

He then proceeds to pull out an amulet as his horn glows causing the amulet to start beeping as he looked at us with a happy expression.

“You won’t find answers FROM ME!!!!!!!” He yelled out as I go wide-eyed at what he was going to do.

“HE’S GOING TO EXPLODE!!” I yelled out as I shielded the royal sisters with my body as the guards with horns formed barriers as Blueblood let out a final laugh before…

BOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!

He explodes in a ball of fire as the force of the blast nearly knocked us back and as it ended, we all look back to see nothing of what remain of Prince Blueblood. As the guards sighed in relief that it was all over. However, me and the royal sisters had looks of worry from what we found out from Blueblood, yet they wondered just who in the right mind is causing all of this as they hope they are able to handle for that comes next so much for a peaceful life here in Equestria.

3rd POV

Location: Unknown

In an unknown location a unicorn mare is shown looking at the whole ordeal though her crystal ball as she smirks seeing that the pompous prince was taken cared of, yet her attention was drawn towards the human who was currently speaking with the royal sister as the sight of him caused the mare watching to lick her lips in delight.

“You are a very interesting human, Frank. I look forward to seeing you very soon.” Said the mysterious unicorn mare as she lit up her read horn and smirked showing a pair of fangs as she stares at the image of Frank McCloud.
