Warrior
Chapter 5: New Tricks
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt has been two days since the party and it's only now that I'm feeling back to normal rather than like I'm dying, it was a nice warm day with clear skies, I stood in one of the grassy fields just outside Ponyville with Dragonbane drawn in my right hand. "Alright, now swing me in a power attack at that rock." Dragonbane Said.
"Power attack?" I asked.
"Yes, a power attack, simply swing me with more force and power than normal." Dragonbane said in my mind.
"Oh right, that makes sense now." I say as I swing Dragonbane with more force releasing another energy wave like the one I used before. "Wow, it actually worked." I said as I suddenly felt a little worn out. "Damn, all of a sudden I feel like I just ran a mile." I said taking a few deep breaths.
"That technique is called the Dragon Slayer Wave, and rather than consuming magical or elemental power it consumes your stamina, you can also use a more powerful two handed version of this technique, but you must hold for at least ten seconds for it to charge." Dragonbane explained.
"Cool, it's like my own version of the Getsuga Tensho from Bleach." I say as I give Dragonbane a few swings here and there as if I actually know what I'm doing.
"That is a good comparison, now sheave me and I'll explain how to use the Dragon Shield." Dragonbane Said and I sheaved it. "Now, bring your arms up and cross them at the wrist.
"Ok, like this?" I asked bringing my arms up into a boxers guard before crossing my arms at the wrist and the marks on my arm glowed blue as a shield of energy instantly went up around my body.
"Yes, just like that. This shield is very powerful and only an impact of greater power than my own can break it." Dragonbane explained.
"Neat, what's next?" I ask excited to learn more of Dragonbane's powers.
"That is all for now." Dragonbane Said.
"What, but I want to learn more." I say out loud rather than in my mind, but Dragonbane didn't answer me. "Really, your giving me the silent treatment?" I ask but still get no reply. "Fine, I have other things to do today anyway." I say heading back to Ponyville.
As I head back into town I see Twilight and Spike walking together and catch them up. "Hey Blake, where have you been?" Spike asked.
"Oh you know, getting some practice in." I say as I see everyone gathering to look at a stage that had been set up in town. "What's this about?" I asked as we got closer.
"I don't know, but we're going to find out." Twilight said.
"Come one, come all, come and witness the amazing magic of the great and powerful Trixie." A light blue mare with two lighter shades of blue for her hair and tail and was wearing a a pointy wizard hat and one of those one piece outfits that female magicians ware in places like Vegas with diamond studded heals said as she appeared on stage in a puff of smoke. "Watch in awe as the great and powerful Trixie performs the most spectacular feats of magic ever seen by pony eyes." this Trixie boasted as I crossed my arms.
"My, my, my what boasting." Rarity said as she came through the crowd standing next to Me, Spike and Twilight as the rest of the girls came over to stand by us. And yes I know I said I was going to refer to her as the white bitch but I'm too lazy for that, but don't take my laziness as forgiveness.
"I'm going to have to quote the Dragonborn from Skyrim and say, I don't care for boasting." I say unimpressed by this show off.
"Come on, no pony is as magical as Twi.... Twi... oh, hey Rarity, I mustache." Spike said suddenly running away. Poor guy, he went and embarrassed himself.
"There's nothing wrong with being talented is there?" Twilight asked as she walked over to Rarity and AJ and I felt like slapping her on the back of the head for asking a stupid question, but then remembered who I was living with and put my hand back down.
"Nothing at all, except when someone's showing it off like a school filly with fancy new ribbons." AJ said glaring at Trixie as she poofed some flowers out of nowhere and caught them.
"Just because one has the ability to perform lots of magic does not make one better than the rest of us." Rarity said.
"Especially when you got me around being better than the rest of us." Rainbow said puffing out her chest only to have AJ get in her face. "Uh I mean, yeah magic shmagic, boo." Rainbow added half-heartedly.
"Well, well, well it seems we have some nay sayers in the audience." Trixie said offended. "Who is so ignorant as to challenge the magical ability of the great and powerful Trixie, do the not know they are in the presence of the most magical unicorn in all of Equestria." Trixie boasted again and I was starting to get sick of her talking in the third person, honestly it was tempting to send her a Dragon Slayer Wave but didn't... for now.
"Just who does she think she is?" Rarity asked while putting her hands on her hips.
"Yeah since we all know Twilight here is..." Spike tried saying but was taken away by Twilight before he could finish.
"Cheep parlor tricks, I should have guessed as much." I say putting my hands in my pockets and walking off as Trixie set off fire works.
"You dare compare the magic of the great and powerful Trixie to a parlor trick." Trixie said as I kept my back to her.
"Yeah I do, and what are you going to do about it." I say walking away deciding to follow some advice from my grandfather, that being. "The most powerful thing a man can do to a woman or mare in this case is walk away, especially when they want drama." As I walked away I could hear Trixie shouting after me like a banshee but I was already gone by then.
A Few Hours Later
I was sat on one of the couches reading a book on Equestrian culture, I was just getting to a part about herds and heat when I put the book down. "Twilight, are you sure I need to read this?" I ask rubbing my eyes while she was reading a spell book on a pedestal on the other side of the room.
"Yes, your now living in Equestria, you should at least learn the history and culture." Twilight said not looking away from the spell book, I just glared into the back of her head wanting to say something funny but Spike came rushing in.
"Twilight, Blake you've gotta come quick." Spike said in a panic as i got up and slipped Dragonbane on my back.
"Be careful, there is danger nearby." Dragonbane said.
"I've already told you Spike, I don't want to show up Trixie." Twilight said only looking at the poor guy for a moment before looking back at her book.
"No, You don't understand." Spike said.
ROAR!!!!
"Uh, is that what I think it is?" Twilight asked.
"Majorly." Spike said looking scared.
"That sounds like the thing we heard the other day." I say looking between Twilight and Spike for a moment. "What are you waiting for, let's get out there." I say running to the door with Spike and Twilight followed us. As we ran down the street we were passed by a group of panicked ponies. I could see the thing from were we where, it was huge a bear bigger than a house that looked like a living star constellation, we ran up to the two young cults that had been glazing Trixie earlier.
"What's going on?" Twilight asked as I drew Dragonbane.
"We brought an Ursa to town." The shorter colt said as the taller colt nodded.
"You WHAT!" Twilight shouted.
"You fucking retards, that thing is going to rip this whole town apart." I said looking at the two idiots and I'm surprised I didn't hit them.
"Don't worry, the great and powerful Trixie will vanquish it." The taller colt said as they both looked at Trixie.
"I can't." Trixie said hanging her head in shame. "I can't, I never have, no one can vanquish an Ursa Major I just made the whole thing up to make me look better." Trixie admitted.
"YOU MADE IT UP!" the two colts shouted together and the Ursa roared again as Twilight stepped forwards charging her horn with magic, as the whistling of the wind started sounding like soft music and the Ursa looked drowsy, Twilight's horn glowed brighter as the water tank on the water tower was pulled free and emptied and then levitated through a barn and filled with milk and I didn't want to know how Twilight pulled that off.
"That's new." Spike said as I put Dragonbane back in it's scabbard, the Ursa nearly fell on Trixie until Twilight picked it up with her magic and gave it the water container that was now filled with milk and the Ursa started drinking from it like a baby with a bottle as Twilight's magic carried it back into the forest and back where it came from, I was speechless at what Twilight just did but as soon as she stopped using her magic she nearly collapsed and I rushed over and caught her putting one of her arms over my shoulders for support.
"That was some fancy spell work Sparks, not bad." I said letting Twilight lean on me until she got her legs back under her from using so much power.
"Sparks?" Twilight asked.
"Yeah, it's a nickname I just came up with for you after seeing all those sparks coming off your horn just now." I explain and she looked a away with a slight blush, I didn't think much about it but it wasn't completely lost on me what it might mean. After everyone gave Twilight their thanks and approval and she punished the two idiots and Trixie ran off we came back to the library and Twilight sent a letter to someone I don't know who and after that I went to my room for some shut eye.
