Vita Nova

Later that morning Hunter, and the girls were all sitting down eating no one was saying anything, the girls were all looking down at their plates the information that was revealed earlier taking its toll on all their minds.

Hunter stands up grabbing his dishes heading to the kitchen cleaning them, and placing them in the drying rack, before heading back to the kitchen and to the door to get to his truck.

"And where do you think your going." Asks Twilight as she walks over to him and blocking his path.

"Well if you have to know I'm going to my truck to grab a few things that I'm going to need, before we do anything." Hunter say as he crosses his arms.

"And just what is it that your gonna grab? what could possibly be in your truck that could help us in this situation?!?" She says getting closer to him.

"Well you'll just have to wait and see alright now if you excuse me ill be right back, and if you can I'll need a map of equestria if you have one." Twilight just looks at him before sighing and stepping out of the way.

"We'll be in the map room its the door to the left of the throne room."

"Thank you i'll be back in 15."

"Hurry please."

"I will be quicker than a road runner high on meth."

"I'm sorry what's meth?" Twilight asks cocking her head in confusion.

"uhh don't worry about it." Hunter says as he walks out the door.

Heading out the door Hunter finds a few guards around his truck with a few of the mares and colts standing around trying to get a closer look at the vehicle, he noticed an older mare yelling at the guards and her daughter looking rather embarrassed.

"DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?! I DEMAND YOU LET ME THROUGH TO THAT CONTRAPTION RIGHT THIS INSTANT."

"Sorry ma ma but with out the permission of the owner we have been order to not let anyone near it."

"AND WHY NOT? I'm sure who ever he is he is not as important as I am, and certainty doesn't need to have such a thing if he is just gonna leave it out in the open like this!!"

"I'm sorry ma ma but orders are orders." The guard says as Hunter makes his way to the rear passenger seat unlocking the truck and opening the door, grabbing his ammo bag and the 2nd rifle in his carrier putting a sock cover over it, before he could close the door he heard the mare start going off again.

"WHAT IS THAT THING! AND WHY DOES IT GET TO GO TO THE CONTRAPTION?"

"MOM please don't do this again lets just leave."

"Hold on diamond your mothers speaking. Now please explain to me why the creature is able to go to that and i can't?"

"Ma am he..."

"Its alright soldier let me handle this one. I'm sorry Miss?"

"Rich, Spoiled Rich and you are creature?"

'at least she has some decency, seems her daughter doesn't share her same sense of superiority complex.'

" Hunter Heart, now if you don't mind what seems to be the problem."

"Well if you must know this guard wont let me get to that contraption over there, now I don't see the problem with it seeing as the owner must not care much for it since he left it out in the open like he did."

"I see well how bout this you tell me what it is, and ill call of the guards to let you over to it, how's that sound?"

"I dont see why its much concern to you, seeing how you look like you just came from sleeping in a barn."

"Well ill have you know i am the owner of that there contraption. now why don't you tell me what it is and ill let you through."

"Well its obvious it some kind of self propelled cart seeing how it has no way to be pulled."

"your not far from the answer but seeing as you have no idea what it even is means you wont know how to use it or act around it so nothing breaks." Hunter says gaining a small smirk as Spoiled looks like shes about to blow a gasket.

"WHY I NEVER! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?!?"

"No and i don't really care to no w if you would mind turning around and walking away."

"I WILL MAKE YOU REGRET THIS CREATURE."

"Now is that a threat because trust me on this i am the last guy you should be making threats at."

"And why is that?"

" Cause that last guy to do that and try to act on them ended up in a coma in an intensive care unit at the hospital, now if you don't mind i have some stuff to do with the princess and her friends, a buh bye now." hunter says in a taunting tone.

With a huff Spoiled Rich turns around and begins to walk away.

"Lets go diamond we don't need to be talking to that ruffian."

"Im really sorry about her Mr. Heart..."

"No worries and hunters fine..."

"what the over used MR was my father bit?"

"Actually i never knew my father."

"Oh Hunter im sorry i didn't know."

"dont worry about it now id get going if i were you before your mom loses it again... and come back again maybe ill give ya a tour of the contraption as your mother calls it."

" I think i'll take you up on that Hunter bye." Wave diamond as she walks away

'Nice girl wish i could say the same for her mother fucking cunt.'

with that Hunter walks back inside and finds the map room with everybody waiting inside.

" Sorry about that something happened outside that needed my attention." Hunter says as he lays out what he brought inside.

"Hunter what is this stuff?" Asks twilight.

"Just some stuff I'm gonna use while i do some recon and over watch of the town and surrounding forest, which reminds me what's the highest point that has a 360 degree view of town?"

"The center tower i use it as an observatory, and it has a 360 degree view of town why do you ask."

"I'm gonna need it if im gonna keep a eye out for any dangers before they get here now where do we stand with defensive tactics?"

" what's there to say when we find this guy all we got to do is blast him and send him back to Tartarus and throw away the key easy." Said rainbow as she leans back in her chair.

"Wish i could say it would be that easy rainbow but its not your going up against something on par with gods of my world if what the name is anything to go by and the gods of my world didn't mess around they played for keeps and didn't hold punches compared to what you've gone up against if twilights letters are anything to go by." Hunter says as he looks out over the map.

"And what's that supposed to mean!" Rainbow says standing up from her chair.

"Hold on dash let em explain before you go jumping ta anger." Applejack say placing her hand on rainbows shoulder.

"Yes please explain your reasoning Hunter dear." says rarity.

"Well if its anything to go by with his name it means he knows of my world Greek mythology or he has some form of experience in it either way he chose that name for a reason and if its safe to say he is gonna be more dangerous than anything you've had to go up against in the past. the gods from my world were not always the nicest if at all they were basically war lords even though there was a god of war they all had large amounts of experience in war whether it was with each other or the monsters of the Greeks version of Tartarus, hell even the kids of said gods were said to be incredibly strong one of said children Hercules who was turned mortal and raised by the humans was able to slay many monsters just to be able to gain back his place with the gods i could be messing it up but its the story i remember about Hercules." you say as you look around the table at each girl making sure your words are sticking, and from what you see they are.

"so what do we do?" asks starlight.

"We plan the best we can counter measures out the ass and..."

"and what?" asks Twilight.

"...And we pray that it works out with few casualties." Hunter says with a heavy tone.

"My only hope is that he picked the name due to its meaning for a scare tactic and not that he can actually back it up, but if there's anything i can go off with the letters I've been sent about the going ons around here, is that all your enemies can be hurt and the gods can bleed."

"And what do you mean that our gods can bleed cat yours?" asks rainbow.

" Well yes and no they can bleed but not by a mortal unless they had special artifacts or god like powers such as Hercules. The only time i can think of that a mortal was able to kill a god was with the use of Pandoras box but that was in a game so there's no way that can be true, but this place is real and so is Tartarus so who knows what's true and what's not." Hunter says

"So back to what you mean by our gods can bleed how's that gonna help us in this situation." Twilight asks getting more concerned by the minute.

" Well since he still isn't at full power he should still be fairly easy to beat, and thats why i have this." Hunter says as he takes the sock cover off of his rifle to show the girls.

"and what's this stick gonna do to help smack him over the head and hope for the best?" Asks rainbow

"Oh i bet its not a stick and it actually works like my cannon but fires a small projectile at high speeds that can cause large amounts of damage!" Pinkie says with a large mile on her face. everyone just looks at her with a look of what the hell except Hunter who is at a loss for words.

"Seriously pinkie i highly doubt that theres nothing in the world that can due that other than cannons, so what makes you thi..."

"Actually she's right, how'd you know?" Hunter says cutting off starlight.

"Just a hunch." Pinkie says happily. Hunter just stares at her not knowing if she's the real danger here.

'i wonder if she knows Deadpool?' Hunter thinks to him self.

"that's a secret." Hunter was about to say something but thought against it.

"this conversation isn't over Pinkie, Any way this here is a 338 lapua magnum, a weapon from my world also know as a rifle, and how it works is it uses these brass casings that hold little lead projectiles and gun powder in side it when this primer is hit it ignites the powder inside causing a small explosion and large amounts of pressure to build and send this piece of lead through the barrel and sending it very large distances and each caliber has different spec from velocities and max effective ranges. Basically its like your cannon but on a smaller more portable frame." you say explaining what you can about the rifle you've come to know.

"well ah got a question bout this here rifle as you call it, why does it say kindness on the side of it." Asks Applejack. upon hearing that fluttershy got more intrigued with the weapon, and getting closer to get a better look at it.

"Oh um well i had a little run in with some activists due to a picture i had posted from my last hunting trip who were none to kind with what they had to say, so me being the asshole that i was the very next year when i went buffalo hunting ,and please note your world and mine are very very different before you jump to any conclusions, buffalo in my world are just animals, anyway i had the word kindness put on the side and when i posted the picture i had tagged them in the post so they would see it and i had said "don't worry PETA i killed this one with kindness", and the word was on full display in the picture. to say that i got a lot of hate and threats after that by them is an understatement but i also got a lot of love from the hunting community and anyone that has any actual sense in the matter."

"why would you do something like that?" asks fluttershy on the brink of tears.

"How could you just kill an animal like tha!" she then says as anger was coming forward.

"Whoa calm down before i get more into this do you have any knowledge on wildlife conservation and environment control?"

" Of course i do its to preserve wildlife in a way that is balanced so an animals environment isn't put in danger of over feeding and animals from predators to pray are more balanced, but i don't see what that has to do with this."

Its the same thing hunters take alot of pride and care into the wildlife conservation because we cant just move animals around all the time due to certain regulations and laws in wildlife protection so hunters like me do our part by keeping populations of prey and predator animals in check when one side is to high it causes problems so every year we go out and well hunt, do you understand what im saying?"

"Yes i may not like it but i do understand is that the only reason or do you do it for food as well."

"We do it for food as well."

" ok i may not like it but i can see the need for it."

" thank you fluttershy. now back to the topic at hand, what we need are patrols aroud the out skirts elivated positions to try and get an early warning to any danger that could come our way and since you guys hold the elements he may come here first to try and get rid of you first but he also may try to gain more power, either way we need to be prepared for anything."

" I can set something up with the Mayer and the guards to increases patrols and areas of cuation around the forest line later today." Said Twilight writing down everything that she gonna have to do.

"I can get some oy my animals friends to keep an eye and ear out for anything out of the ordinary i the white tail woods and everfree forest." Says Fluttershy

"I'll round up some pegasi to fly recon every now and again to watch the skies and areas outside of town." says Rainbow

"Alright while that happens im gonna need maps of the surrounding areas cause im gonna do some recon out in the forests and will need any cave systems that can be used as shelter or hid outs incase they are needed im also gonna need a more detailed map of the town sewer systems caves anything underground that we can use as an escape route out of here if things get to dicy and if we need to make one cause im not trying to keep the folks around here in the open if we need to evacuate."

"that can be done i have a freind that works construction and one that works with city plannig that can get us all of that anything else?" Asks Starlight.

"No that should cover everything, alright everyone lets get to it." Hunter says as he grabs his bag and rifle to head up to the tower.

'this is gonna get tough.'

un known cave system:

"So you've already started to prepare celestia no matter you wont be able to stop me so easily this time, cause this time i have help hahahaha."
