Fuck My Life
Chapter 10: Recovery and Redemption.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt has been three days since Rogue, Dark Blaze and Shadow Lance killed the Moorwen in the Iron Hills, Rogue is currently in Dodge City in southern Equestria to escape the lethal freezing cold of winter while he recovered from his wounds and considered his next steps on the path to elemental mastery. While he rested he heard bits and pieces of how Princess Luna had recovered from her own wounds and was already back to her usual duties thanks to the swift action of Equestria's most wanted the Human Rogue Winters. According to what he'd heard over the last few days while laying low Princess Celestia wanted to grant him a full pardon for his prior miss deeds for saving Luna's life but that meant going to Canterlot where he'd be out numbered and in his current state that was out of the question a least until he was fully recovered.
Rogue was at a rent out cabin on the out skirts of Dodge City recovering from the wounds he'd gotten from the Moorwen in the Iron Hills, much to his surprise his wounds healed much faster than he expected even now the his wounds were fresh scars even though they had only been done three days prior. "Fuck, I thought it would take longer to heal than this." Rogue said as he looked at himself in a mirror without a top on as he ran his fingers across his new scars on his chest as he remembered how he got them shoving Shadow Lance out of the way of a killing blow only to get hit himself. Rogue walked away from the mirror and put a dark blue t-shirt on as he pace back and forth in his cabin thinking about the news he'd heard about how Celestia wanted to give him a full pardon fore saving the life of her sister and how it could be a trap to lure him out. "If I do go I should at least have six elements at my disposal, that way Twilight and her magic of friend ship will be match by my elemental power if they try and pull anything, or maybe I should show up with seven elements just to show off." Rogue thought as he considered what to do as he continued to pace back and forth in the room.
Knock, Knock.
Rogue looked at the door feeling a sense of danger as he slowly walked over to the door and opened it slightly to see a blue mare with red main and tail on the other side of the door, the mare looked at him warmly. "House keeping." the mare said. Rogue narrowed his eyes and grabbed the mare by her invisible horn and lifted her off the grounds by at least three feet making her drop her disguise revealing her to be a red Changeling.
"Fuck off bug. " Rogue said throwing the overgrown cockroach away before slamming the door closed. "That's the third one in three days, I bet the owner is in cahoots with them." Rogue thought as he returned to his bed laying down to rest due to the pain still lingering despite how quickly the physical wounds had healed. Rogue was only asleep for what felt like a few seconds when he was woken up by more knocking on his door. "I swear if that's another bug I'm going to start zapping them." Rogue thought as he got up and opened the door to his room only to come face to face with Twilight and her friends again. "Oh piss off, I'm not in the mood to deal with you lot right now." Rogue said slamming the door in their faces before they could say a word.
"Rogue it's not like that." Twilight said through the door.
"I don't care, I'm in way too much pain to give a shit right now." Rogue shouted at the door as he pulled the curtains closed and crawled back onto the bed.
"But the Princess." Twilight tried saying.
"I don't give two shades of shit about your Princess, now leave me alone so I can recover in my own time." Rogue shouted at the door before rolling on his side so he didn't have to look at the door.
"Fine then we're coming in weather you like it or not." Twilight said from the other side of the door before it was blown off its hinges.
"Oh for fuck sake can't you just let me rest." Rogue said rolling off the bed to his feet and into a fighting stance.
"Hay relax sugar cube, we're not here to fight you we're just here to bring you to Canterlot." Applejack said getting closer only for Rogue to teleport behind her and grip her by the throat hard enough to to choak her with only one hand.
"Why don't I believe you." Rogue said getting angry as he walked out side only to see that they were alone, no guards no back up just them. Rogue let Applejack go as he brought a hand to the wounds on his chest as his breaths became pained from the exertion.
"Give over your wounds can't be that bad." Rainbow said crossing her arms as Rogue got back to his feet and lifted his shirt and showed them the three fresh scars across his chest.
"Could you have survived this Skittles?" Rogue asked as he got mad at the blue pain in the ass. Twilight and the others gasped as they saw the deep scars on his chest that hadn't finished healing yet.
"Oh my god, Rogue I had no idea you had been hurt so badly." Twilight said blushing like mad as Rogue pulled his top down with no less than three wing boners in the room from Rogue exposing his muscular chest, scared or not he was still very muscular.
"Oh my." Fluttershy said easily the reddest of the group after Rogue showed off his new scars.
"Oh wow, your taking a lot more damage than the old Rogue." Pinkie said as she blushed as well.
"The old Rogue?" Rogue asked utterly confused.
"Forget I said anything." Pinkie said.
"No I won't." Rogue said.
"Next seen please?" Pinkie asked and Blood Fallen complied.
Rogue suddenly found himself before the doors to Canterlot castle's throne room dressed in his red trench coat a black vest, blue jeans and his black boots, Rogue looked around confused seeing Twilight and her friends behind him with Pinkie waving at him like she did in the first chapter. "How did we get here?" Rogue thought as he noticed the pain in his chest was gone. It was at that point the doors swung open and Rogue walked in to the place where he managed to get a price on his head not even a full year ago, Rogue once again stood before the celestial sisters only to have Luna shoot across the room like a bullet and hug him lifting him off his feet.
"Thank you Rogue, with out your help I would have died." Luna said putting Rogue down. "I knew you weren't all bad." Luna said with tears in her eyes.
"Get off me." Rogue said forcing his way out of Luna's grip before teleporting away from her.
"Human, Rogue if it wasn't for you my sister would be dead right now, I want to thank you for saving her." Celestia said with genuine sincerity.
"That's all well and good, but I think we're forgetting the part where I tried to attack you and knocked out your sister." Rogue said pointing out fair and logical facts.
"I know, and that happened in your first week in this world, before you had a chance to adjust to your new environment." Celestia said in her usual motherly tone.
"But what about all the guards I hurt while I made my exit a few months ago?" Rogue asked.
"It is already forgiven and so are you, we the Princesses of Equestria and the Crystal empire hear by grant you a full pardon for all your past miss deeds up to now..., you are a free man once more." Celestia said smiling at the young man happy to still have her sister.
"I don't know what to say." Rogue said.
"This is the part where you offer to be Luna's apprentice." Twilight said under her breath to Rogue.
"Thank you, I will not squander this second chance." Rogue said bowing before he turned and left leaving the room in silence as their plans fell apart.
"What are you going to do?" Celestia asked.
Rogue stopped for a moment as he thought about his answer. "Isn't it obvious, I'm going to keep pursuing elemental power." Rogue said as he released the five elemental powers he currently had access to from his body.
"Five, that's two more in the last two months from the last time we saw you two months ago." Twilight said in amazement at the speed he could learn new elements and wondered if he could learn magic at the same speed.
"It's like I said at Griffin Stone Twilight, I'm going to master elemental power and achieve something never seen before." Rogue said using her name for the first time since he got to their world making her blush as she realized the significance of him using her first name as a sign of respect.
"But where are you going to go?" Twilight asked as Rogue walked out.
"That's for me to know and you to find out." Rogue said as he walked out of the castle a free man. "Now then where's the nearest pub?" Rogue asked out loud.
"I know one." A white Bat pony mare with a fiery red main and tail who had brilliant orange eyes said her grey crop vest showing off her abs while her short jean shorts did little to hide her rump.
"Do I know you, your voice sounds familiar?" Rogue asked in confusion.
"It's me Dark Blaze." the mare said.
"What I thought you were grey?" Rogue asked.
"That's just an enchantment on the armor to make us look more uniform." Blaze explained.
"Oh, that actually makes more sense." Rogue said surprised that the guard armor was enchanted all this time. "So where's this place at?" Rogue asked.
"Just follow me." Dark Blaze asked leading Rogue by the hand.
"What could possibly go wrong?" Rogue said following Dark Blaze to a pub.
"Oh don't even get me fucking started." A voice said in the back of Rogue's mind.
