Riki and Liz's Grand Adventure!

Riki storms the castle!

"Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck!" I yelled, running down the hall with seven ponies guards on my ass. I looked back at the angry guards. I see four earth ponies and three unicorns. One of the unicorns uses magic to grip my arm. I struggled a bit but managed to pull my arm out. Thank God for my magic resistance. I took a hard right down the hall, running past a table I grabbing a vase. I turn around and begin to run backward. Aiming carefully, then hurled the vase, hitting the pony in front. Causing them to fall face first and making the rest trip over the body. "Sorry!" I yelled at them, going around the corner.

I see an open broom closet. I ran in there and shut the door, putting my ear up against the door. I hear the guards running down the hallway, coming to a stop.

"That monster couldn't go that far," said a guard.

"Split up and tell the others!" said the other guard.

"What about the princesses?"

"Let's just tell the captain first."

I can hear them run off. Flipping a bucket over to sit on and take a deep breath. "...I really fucked up,"

Flashback

"I think I'm lost," I said, standing in an empty hallway, rubbing my chin. Why did I have to listen to that voice? Wait, why the hell did I have a voice in my head!!? I hope I'm not going crazy. All I need to do is to find the Throne room, easy. I continued to walk down the hallway until I saw a guard's helmet on the floor. "What the hell?" I said, picking it up and examining it. I stopped when the smell of blood hit my nose. My guard immediately goes up. "That's not good," I said, getting up and following the scent.

Turning the hallway corner, I run down and see a stallion unicorn guard lying in a pool of blood. I immediately ran to the body, making sure not to step in the blood. "Oh, please don't be dead," I said worriedly, checking for a pulse. I do a sigh of relief when I finally find a pulse. "Good, you're not dead. All I need to do is to stop the-Aaaaahhh, what the fuck!?" I yelled when someone or somepony jumped on my back. I start to spin around, trying to fling the fucker off. The pony's forelegs tighten around my neck, and I begin to gasp for air. I dig my fingernails into the forelegs. "I am not going to be choked out by a small horse!" I said, slamming my back against the wall and managing to pry off the forelegs from my neck. Then I hurled the pony into the wall as hard as I could. "Damn, I can't believe I let my guard down," I said, catching my breath, and I glared down at the mare. "Who the hell are you, and why are you here?"

The cloaked unicorn pulled her hood back, revealing her light violet face and light green eyes. Dark teal wavy bob cut hair with sapphire blue highlight. "Will, that didn't work. I should have gone for the slit throat." She said to herself, stomping the floor. "No, if I just didn't get caught by that guard or-"

"Oi!" I yelled at her getting her attention and causing her to flinch, "Answer my damn question, Horse!"

She looks at me with a hurt expression, "I can't believe you just called me that, and I thought you'd be nice." She put her hooves on her cheeks and shook her head. "No, what am I saying!? But, of course, you're nice! I did catch a glimpse of you stopping that cart, heahaha!" She laughed. "The name is La-la Lu, and let me say you look pretty cute doing it~."

I immediately lunged at her, going for a punch. But, La-la quickly sidesteps and plants her back hoof on the side of my face. Causing me to slam into the wall. "Fuck, she's fast," I muttered, wiping the blood away from my mouth and getting back up. I look at the guard, and I don't know how long he'll last. I need to think of something fast. "You're a pretty good thief to get in here. And you did something to that cart, right?"

"First of all, I'm not a buckin' thief," She huffed. "And yeah, that was me. I was just supposed to follow you guys until I get new orders. But now that my cover is blown, I might as well do something so Boss will be less pissed at me." La-la takes out a piece of paper.

I look down at her, cracking my knuckles, "Are you going to hurt Twilight and her friends?"

La-la chuckles a little, "Hurt the Elements, no, that's not my job." The piece of paper, now glowing hot pink, quickly turned into an origami combat knife, "Mine is to hurt you, human~" After she said that, she lunged at me full force with the knife in her mouth.

I rolled to the right at the last second. I went for a leg sweep, but she jumped out of the way and pulled out another piece of paper. "Wait, you know what I am!?" I said.

"We know about you and the girl, human," La-la said, combining her knife with the piece of paper and turning it into an arrow. "I was surprised to see you two in Canterlot. Saved me the visit, heahah! "

I bolted at La-la, "You keep your hands off my sister!"

La-la launches the arrow with her magic towards my head. I quickly moved my head out of the way and went for a punch. She jumped over me, and that gave me the opening I needed.

"Got you!" I yelled, quickly reaching up and grabbing La-la's back hoof and slamming her on the floor, causing her to grunt in pain. She cracks a smile as her horn begins to light up. I quickly swing her into the wall, making a loud thud.

Beheind you

I immediately turn around to see the paper arrow flying right at me. Quickly grabbing the arrow, only mere inches away from my face. The arrow starts to glow pink.

"Quick Fold-Viper!" La-la snarled.

Immediately, the paper arrow turns into a snake. It tightly wraps around my arm and then lunges at me, aiming for my neck. I quickly pulled and tossed the snake. It lands in front of La-la's hoof, slithering up to her neck and nuzzling her cheek. She turns the snake into two combat knives. One is in her magical grip, and the other one is in her mouth. La-la gets in an attacking crouching position and pinns back her ears.

She's getting serious.

After a few minutes of silence, we both charge at each other. I cocked my fist back, and La-la readied her knives for a slash attack. Time seems to slow down as we get close to each other. My fist is about to collide with La-la's face as her knife is close to cutting my neck.

"Aaaahhhh!"

The ear piercing scream hits us, causing us to stop. I turn my head to see a honey colored earth maid. The honey maid starts to sway from side to side. Her gaze keeps shifting between the probably dead guard and us. "Oi, get bac-" I was cut off by La-la's blade cutting my cheek. Causing me to jump back, landing in front of the maid. "Dammit," I said under my breath, wiping the blood off my face.

"Heahah, did anypony tell you to never take your eyes off your enemy?" Lu-lu asked, pondering the blood covered knife. She snapped out when the sound of hoofsteps could be heard. She looks at me and then smiles, "Well, this was fun, but sadly I got to go."

"Really? I was just beginning to enjoy myself, La-la."

"Awww, don't be sad. Let me tell you this." She said, folding the blood covered knife and putting it under her cloak. "Next time we meet, human. I'll make it worth your while~" She then threw the other knife at the maid, but I managed to grab it.

"Too slow,"

La-la smirked, "Quick Fold-Flash."

The knife Immediately starts to glow and expand. Oh shit, it's gonna go boom. I tossed the blade straight in the air and pulled the maid into a protective hug. The blade exploded, letting out a burst of light that filled the hallway. Opening my eyes a few seconds later. I looked over to see that La-la had disappeared, only leaving a few strands of paper. I cursed under my breath a few times. Then I remember the pony in my hands.

"Oi, are you okay?" I asked, pulling away from the pony. I wasn't surprised to see that she had fainted. I was going to try to wake her up, but I was cut off by two guards pointing their spears at me. There is one thing I can say in this situation.

"I can explain!"

Flashback end

"Fuckin' La-la Lu!" I grumbled, punching the wall and making a few mops and brooms fall over. "Alright, Riki, calm down and think. I need to get to the Throne room." I open the door and peek outside to see the hallway is empty, good. I begin to sprint down the hall, stopping at every corner and checking for guards. I can't help to say that I'm getting a little excited sneaking around. But I can't keep running around mindlessly or...

"Hey, it's the thing!"

"Let's get it!"

I'll get caught.

In an office, a blue haired white unicorn is sitting at his desk doing some paperwork. This pony here is Captain of the Royal Sun Guards. His name is...

"Captain Shining Armor, sir!" An earth pony guard yelled, bursting into the room. Causing Shining to jump and scatter some of this work. "S-sorry, Captain, didn't mean to scare you."

"It's fine," Shining said, fixing the papers. He noticed the worried look on the guard's face. "What's the problem? Looks like you've seen a monster?"

"Well, about that..."

"Shitshitshitshitshitshit!" I yelled, running down the hall with ten ponies guards on my ass. "I didn't do it! I just need to find the Throne room." I look back to see some of the unicorns are getting ready to shoot magic beams. "Oh," The unicorns began to fire off their magic beams at me, but I managed to duck and dodge all of them. "Haha, you guys got Stormtrooper aim!" I laughed. I stopped when something crashed into my back, causing me to grunt in pain, almost knocking me over. I look over to see a gray mare pegasus wrapping her hooves around my waist. I reached over, pulled the pony off my body, then held her in front of me. "Do you know where I can find the Throne room?"

She gave me a confused look and then said, "What!? No way in Tartarus, I'm telling you!"

"Please," I said, placing her under my arm and dodging another magic beam. I reach over, pull off the curtains, and then throw them behind me, trapping three guards. Out of nowhere, a pegasus comes flying in fast. I quickly lead back and bicycle kick straight into the guard's face. Wincing a bit because I think I broke the guard's muzzle. "Come on, please! I'll... scratch behind your ear!"

"There is no way I'll-You do what!?" She said as her face started to turn red. "Don't go around saying things like that."

"Is that a yes or a no," I deadpan, holding her in front of my face.

"Ummm... I'm not that type of mare, plus I don't even know your name. "She mumbled, looking away.

"What was that?"

"Nothing!"

I shook her and spun her around, "Well, we're coming up to an intersection, so left or right?"

"I can't, you-Ow!"

I pulled her cheek, "I didn't hurt that pony. Please just help me. You can trust me."

She stayed quiet for a bit, then looked back at me. The mare let out a little huff and said, "I can't believe I am doing this. Go left and head straight, then take the second right. If you can see the courtyard, you've gone too far."

"Thanks, umm..."

"Feather Gleam. And I can get in a lot of trouble if you're not telling the truth!"

"Riki, and thanks, Feathers!" I beamed, pulling her into a hug. "Oh, and sorry for this."

"Sorry for-What the buck!" She yelled as I tossed her into guards behind us. I can hear Feather yelling my name in anger.

Turning left, I quietly said, "Thanks again, Feathers. I promise I'll pay you back."

Running full speed through the hall, taking the second right. I knew something was off. I don't see or hear anyone. I need to be on-Thud Out of nowhere, I ran face first into a floating shield. I push off the shield and slowly fall to my knees. "Damn, that hurt... A lot."

"I finally found you, monster. Attacked one of my guards and tried to eat a maid!" Shouted a voice.

"The fuck you mean, trying to eat the maid?" I mumbled, seeing a white unicorn in armor looking pretty pissed. As he got close, I immediately threw out a right hook. But my fist collided with a floating shield, "Fuck!" I kick off the ground to get some distance. I check my hand to see that my knuckle is bruised a bit. "Okay, I can do this," I said, bolting at the unicorn.

I went for a left hook but stopped immediately when that shield popped up. So I spun around it, landing a heavy knee on the unicorn side of his stomach, sending him into the wall.

"You're definitely not a regular guard. You're way too tough," I said, cracking my knuckles and getting into my fighting stance. "So, who the hell are you?"

"Captain of the Royal Sun Guards, Shining Armor!" He said firmly, fixing his helmet and getting into a stance. "I'm here to bring you in."

"Guard in shining armor, funny." I chuckle to myself. "Alright then, Shiny, let's do this. I'll kick your ass and get to the Throne room." What I said must have gotten his attention because he looks furious now. "What did I say something wrong?"

"First, I'm not letting you go to the Throne room," Shining retorted, stomping his hoof. "Second, don't call me 'Shiny'!"

I smirked, "Come on, Shiny, let's get funky!" As I yelled that, we both charged at each other, letting out battle cries. I know this will be one of the hardest fights I have ever had.

Let the fun begin!
