Hunter gives a stretch and a yawn as he reaches over to stop his alarm. Mornings hunter never liked them, but they were the best time for you to get out and do your workouts before starting the day.
Getting up and out of bed hunter looks at the time finding it was only 4:30am in the morning. 'Well no time like the present.' With that Hunter grabs a pair of gym shorts and a shirt his mom got him on his 16th birthday that say ~PAIN IS WEAKNESS LEAVING THE BODY~ He wasn't sure where she got it but he liked the shirt it was comfy and breathed well.
As he leaves the room he grabs his phone and ear buds and heads out, and to the kitchen to leave Twilight a note on where he went.
Once he made his way out of the castle Hunter puts on His earbuds, and hits play starting ~ escape the fate one for the money ~
Deciding to start his work out with a run he heads to the outskirts of town and runs around the town as he gets to the other side of town the forest on the other side of the path, starts to grow more dense with every stride Hunter starts to get strange vibe from the forest the more he goes, until he gets to a somewhat cleared path leading into the forest.
As he comes to a stop to look down the path the strange feeling only grows as if he is being told to head into the forest, Hunter was about to head down the path until the next song played breaking him of his thoughts making the strange feeling disappear.
Looking at the time he finds its only 5:00am skipping the song that started he continues his run until he gets to an apple orchard, and a good open area to do some workouts in next to it heading into the open area Hunter takes out his ear buds, and begins his last bit of work outs.
Hunter starts with 15 push ups, 20 crunches, 30 air squats, 35 2 count mountain climbers, and ends with 25 Russian twists. He then repeats the workout 1 more time, once he was finished with that he walks up to a firm branch on one of the trees and does a max set of pulls up.
As hunter was finishing his workout with the pull-ups he starts to hear soft giggling coming from near by making him stop for a second before he pumps out 5 more pull ups and jumps down from the branch. Looking around for the source of laughter. Looking around Hunter spots a purple tail poking out from behind a bush.
'Seems that I have an audience.' Haunter thought with a small smirk growing.
"Didn't anyone ever tell you its bad manners to sneak up on someone?" Ask Hunter his smirk growing more as he hears a small eep come from the bush and the tail suck behind it.
"Come on out i aint mad curious as to who you are, but not mad." It took a few seconds before three younger mares stood up from behind the bush, looking like they were around his age. Hunter gaining a blush from the fact that it wasnt a young foal, but three mares that had been watching him do his work out, and from the looks of it they were blushing to whether it was from being caught or watching him he had no idea.
"Umm, hi? I'm sorry but how old are you three exactly and why were you watching me?" They didn't say anything just looking anywhere but Hunter, until the middle one a earth pony with a cream coat red mane and tail with a pink bow on top she was wearing torn up jeans, and a red button upshirt, she was taller the the one on the left but shorter then you and the one on the right.
"We're really sorry mister, but we didn't know what you were and got curious so we watched you workout." She says her blush growing brighter still not metting Hunters eyes.
'Shes probably lying so they don't seem like creeps, I'd definitely do the same if I watched some alien do work outs.'
"Oh, well I'd be curious too if I found some strange being just exercising in the open." That seemed to have worked cause they were now looking at Hunter wide eyed.
"R.. really?" Asks the one on the right she was a unicorn and with a white coat with a curly purple mane and tail. She was a bit taller than the one in the middle but she was still shorter than you by a few inches not including the horn, she wore a white blouse with black skinny jeans.
"Yea i mean who wouldn't be if they found something noone has ever heard of or seen before."
"Ok then, who, and what are you exactly." Says the one on the left she was a pegasus and easily the shortest out of the group and had a somewhat tomboyish voice. She was orange with purple mane and tail, and was wearing black shorts a white tank top and had an orange hoodie tied around her waist.
"Well my name is Hunter Heart, and I'm a human." Says Hunter giving them all a friendly smile.
"What are your names?"
"My names Apple Bloom."
"Im Scootalo."
"And my names Sweetie Bell."
"Well its great to meet you all but I do have to get going before my freind starts to worry."
"Wait! Will we see you again?" Asks Apple Bloom.
"If you guys live in town then yes you shall."
"One more question do you have a cutie mark?"
"A what?"
"A cutie mark you know the thing you get when you found out what your really good at." She says as the three girls show Hunter their shoulders showing a sheild on each are but each with a diffrent center scootalo had a wing with a lightning bolt, apple bloom had an apple with a heart, and sweetie bell had a star with a musical note.
"Oh um no humans don't get those we can get tattoos that are made by a needle with ink on it getting placed in our skin, in fact I have two one on each of my shoulders."Hunter says as he pulls up his sleeve on his right shoulder to reveal a skull with a snake looping through the nose around the skull in the left eye and the head sticking out the right and at the top the words don't tread on me can be seen. Moving to his left shoulder he reveals a name and two dates with flourishing lines and a heart above the name.
"That sounds painfull." Says Sweetie Bell.
"The one on you right shoulder looks awsome!" Says Scootalo.
"Who's the meaning of the other one Apple Bloom asks opening a topic that was hard for Hunter. Apple Blooms ears fold back when she notices the look on Hunters face realizing she opened wounds with her question.
"I... I'm sorry i didn't know." She says going up to him placing her hand on his shoulder.
"*sigh* its alright apple bloom you didn't know.. its my moms name her date of birth, and her date of death." You say as you start to feel tears brim at your eyes threatening to fall. You hear the others gasp then feel three sets of arms wrap around you in a tight embrace.
"We are so sorry for your loss." Says Sweetie bell.
"Yea dude if you need to talk to anyone you can find us." Says Scootalo.
"Im real sorry Hunter ah know what its like to lose some one you can come find me if you need anything at all."
"Thank you girls.. now it was great meeting you all, but I really must be going." Hunter says as he breaks the embrace.
"Alright well dont be afraid to find us if you need us." Says Sweetie bell.
"Will do bye you three." With that Hunter makes his way back to the castle for a shower and breakfast.
As Hunter makes his way up to the castle some more ppnies are up setting up stands and opening up shop they dont really notice him and the few that do stare at him with a mixture of caution and curiosity, he just ignored themand tried to get back as quickly as he could incase someone wanted to try and run him out of town.
Coming up on the castle Hunter noticed a few things, one there was a very fancy looking cariage out front, two guards where posted at the front door, and three his truck was surrounded by guards.
Ignoring his truck for the moment thinking twilight put the there incase someone trys to steal it he heads up to the door where he is met with spears blocking his way, and pointed at his throat.
"Back away creature no ones allowed in side the castle!" The guard on the left stated.
"One point your spears somewhere else before one of us gets hurt, two get your guys away from my truck before they fuck it up shit was expensive besides noone can steal it even if they tried, and three I live here." Hunter says his anger getting the better of him.
"Like I'm gonna believe you live here or that machine belongs to you it will be brought back to canter lot for study same goes for the thing in the back of it."
"Ok imma set some facts down for you ive know Twilight longer than you've been a guard you can go ask her if what I say is true, and the next is if you sp much as scratch that truck i will personally fuck up you and the person that did it, you got me?!" Hunter says balling up his fists making the knuckles turn white.
"Is that a threat creature."
"Bitch its a fucking promise."
The two stare at each other for a moment neither one making a move until a voice comes from the door.
"Whats with all the noise out he... Hunter your back, and you need a shower come on lets go i have someone I want you to meet." Says twilight as she walks up to him.
"Princess i advise you to stay away from this creature he has been increasingly hostile." Says the guard on the left.
"Its alright strong hold ive know hunter since I was a filly."
"As you wish princess." Strong hold says as him and the other guard stand down.
"Who's this pony you want me to meet twi?"
"Nope thats a surprise, and you need to go shower before anything, now go." She says pushing Hunter to the hallway.
"Alright alright jeez don't need to push me."
"Yes I do, and dont think im letting you off the hook for getting violent with the guards." She says with a look that says ~your on thin ice boy~
"Sorry but I reserve the right to say he was being a dick."
"HUNTER!"
"What?"
"Be nice! Now go shower before i give you a bath and you wont like that."
"So you want to bathe me now? Why twilight I didnt know our relationship was that far yet." Hunter says giving her a suggestive look. Twilights horn starts to light up at that.
"Im going." He says putting his hands up in defeat.
"Thank you." She says her horn losing its glow. After that Hunter walks to his room. Heading inside he grabs a pair of jeans, socks, a white shirt, and a red plad button up and heads to the shower.
After a quick 10 min shower Hunter dons his clothes leaving the shirt unbuttoned, slips his boots onand holsterimg his glock 45, and heads back out the door, and to the throne room.
Upon entering the room Hunter finds Twilight along with her freinds the dragoness from last night and two new mares one who is about his height and another who is a few inches taller than he is both who have wings and a horn.
The shorter of the two is midnight blue with darker blue mane and tail that seems to blow in a nonexistent wind her mane looks like it has stars in it, she is wearing a blue dress that has a cut that goes just pass the knee she is also wearing a crown.
The taller one was white with a rainbow tail and flowing mane she was wearing a white dress with a cut that ends right below the knee she is also wearing a crown.
'Well that explains all the guards' Hunter thought to himself.
"Hey Twilight are these the two you wanted me to meet?" Hunter asks making all the girls turn to him.
"Ah hunter your here! And yes, Princess celestia this is Hunter the one I told you about, Hunter this is princess Celestia and her sister princess Luna."
"This is your pen pal from when you were a filly correct?" Asks Celestia.
"Yes princess this is him."
"Twilight you are a princess now how many times must I tell you there is no need for you to use titles with us."
"Heheh sorry." Twilight says with a small blush.
"Anyway you must be hunter, I am so very sorry to hear about your loss my little human, as I've heard it you wish to stay here in equestria?" She asks with a motherly smile.
"Yes ma'am." Hunter says taking a knee in front of the royal.
"Please no need for that any friend of Twilights is a friend of mine, and I as well as my sister humbly welcome you to equestria Hunter."
"Thank you princess both of you." Hunter says looking between both princess's
" You are welcome young Hunter, and if there is anything me or my sister me do to be of assistance to you all you must do is ask." Says Luna.
"Thank you princess."
"Now that pleasantries are out of the way lets get back to the main reason we are here." Says Celestia becoming more serious.
"I am afraid an ancient evil is returning to equestria, and we must stop him at all cost before he regains all of his power."
"Celestia what do you mean whos coming back?" Asks Twilight becoming more concerned by the moment.
"He has gone through many names through out history but the most feared name he has gone by was Thanatos
It means..."
"Bringer of destruction" everyone turns to look at Hunter as he stares of into space.
"How do you know that?" Asks Twilight
"I studied Greek mythology in highschool, but im gonna take a guess and say this is a diffrent person." Hunter says with a shrug.
"Your gonna explain that to me later." Said Twilight.
"Will do."
"Anyway Hunter is correct, and if we let him regain his power there will be no stopping him. Myself and Luna shall track him down once we do that you 6 will use the elements to defeat him and stripping him of his powered and banishing him to tartarus."
"We won't let you down princess." Twilight says with all the girls agreeing with her.
"Oh yea he won't even see what hit him!" Exclaimed Rainbow dash
"We can handle this varmint fer ya your highness." Agreed apple jack.
"Well we can't have someone destroy equestria now can we, you can count me in princess." Says Rarity
"I.. i don't know ab...."
"We're in!" Pinkie exclaims cutting of fluttershy.
"I aint got no magic or flight but im a damn good shot so ill help anyway i can." Hunter says laying his hand on his pistol.
"Thank you all of you you have no idea how much this means to us and all of equestra." Celestia says smilling.
"No problem Celestia you can count on us." Says twilight.
"Well we must be off day court won't hold itself." Say Celestia as she turns to leave.
"Oh wait princess tell your guards not to touch my truck or anything on or in it please." Ask Hunter
"Are you talking about the machine outside?"
"I am."
"Then I will see to it that it is left alone."
"Thank you princess, and have a good rest of your day."
"You as well Hunter."
With that she walks away leaving Hunter and the girls in the throne room.
"So... breakfast?" Hunter asks with a small smile while the rest of the girls just look at him.
"Really how can you think about food right now we have to prepare for Thanatos." Says Twilight
"Look we got some time before anything happens they aren't gonna find him in an hour so we might as well eat then start planning and go about our day like normal until he's found, but for right now lets eat and brainstorm after that we kick some ideas around and plan accordingly." Twilight looks at hunter like he just slapped her until she shakes her head and speaks.
" your right they aren't gonna find him in an hour or even a day lets eat and we can plan after that."
"Thats all I'm asking." Hunter says as he walks past twilight and to the kitchen the rest of the girls following.
-location unknown-
A dark figure looks out over equestria frowning at the land scape in front of him.
"Soon you will all regret the day you threw me into that accursed prison of yours, and when that day comes ill bathe in the destruction of your precious kingdom Celestia." The dark figure says beginning to laugh as it walks back into the shadows.
