Chapter 4: Friends, fights, and royalty

The trip was quick and with out incident. As we teleported into the hospital we saw lots of guards, doctors, and nurses. When my feet felt ground again I made sure I still had my pants

'Oh thank god...' I thought as I felt my jeans.

"Twilight!! Get away from that creature! It's Dangerous!" Said a young voice.

Then Twilight and Fluttershy were surround by a purple aura and pulled away from me. After they were safely off me a couple of guards charged at me with spear.

They're trying to kill me?! I though as I side stepped and grabbed the spear the guard was holding in his mouth.

I slammed it against the ground. HARD. This caused the guard to be knocked out. The second guard tried again to stab me. He began to turn but, being in a small room he had limited movement. I ran up, grabbed him, then I punched him in the side of his head. This effectively disoriented him enough for me to deliver another punch knocking him out as well.

"Enough!! I'll make quick work of you and then throw your friends in a dungeon to rot!" Said the same voice.

Then a guard covered in simple metal armor, except for his helmet missing, approached. He was a unicorn, and was pretty tall for a pony. His mane was deep blue with two blue strips going down it, much like Twilight's mane. His coat was bleach white.

"Shining armor wait! You don't know what he's capable of!" Twilight began to yell.

But this 'Shining armor' Ignored her. Her pulled out two swords with his magic.

"Buddy, you just made a big mistake saying that..." I strafed over to the bed post and did something I always wanted to do.

I grabbed the bedpost and pulled it off. It bent and creaked as I ripped it off. I now had a 4ft metal pipe as a weapon. Then I did the simple taunt by holding out my hand and giving him the 'Bring it bitch' gesture.

After that short moment of awesome I could die now and not care.

He gladly complied and rushed towards me. The swords started to swing madly and dented the metal bar as they hit. After about half a minute of mindless swinging he charged me. I side stepped again and hit him on the ass causing him to drop as the swords skid to a halt away from him. As he fell I kicked the swords even farther away and picked him up by the throat. I brought him to my eyes.

"If you ever..... threaten my friends again... I will. Not. Hesitate in making you have a life time of agony. Got it?" He nodded and I dropped him.

He fell to the floor gasping for air with an angry expression. I then started walking towards my friends on the opposite side of the room. The guards separated into two rows and shivered as I walked past them. The doctors and nurses had long left when the fighting had began. As I got to my friends I sat down next to them.

Perspective change: Shinning armor<<<

That... that monster defeated me... even after I brought out my swords. They were enchanted to stun and weaken any pony hit with them. Now it will roam free and hurt innocents. No... no. I will not allow that... even if it means...*Gulp*... Killing it... I grabbed my dagger I hid on my front foreleg. I slowly drew the blade and began walking towards it as all the guards were staring at it and Twily was starting to walk toward it. Twily's curiosity is gonna get her killed! I jumped on a bed and jumped at the back of monster. He turned towards me and started to talk in my direction.

"Look... I just wanted to say Im-HURK" I saw him flinch as I drove the blade into his chest....

I saw him fall to the ground. When he hit the floor he looked at the wound in his chest...... I saw tears in the monster eyes. I frowned at this. I didn't want to do it but I swore that I'd protect Celestia and her subjects at any and all cost when I took this job. I saw the life slipping from the monster's eyes. He looked right at me and began to talk.

"I...just... wanted..to..say..I..was.... sorry...I didn't...want to...Hurt..anyone....I...just..want...to..to....." Then his body went limp.

Perspective change: Deckerd-30 seconds before<<<

'Maybe I should try to apologize. I did kinda disgrace him in front of his troops.'

I turned around and began to speak. "Look... I just wanted to say I'm-HURK" I was interrupted by a blade that drove it self into my chest.

I fell to the ground confused. I looked to see where I got stabbed. The blade was sticking out of my chest and from what I could tell it was only a centimeter away from my heart. I started to tear up.

'Even if the blade wasn't in my heart it would be if they tried to remove it.'

I looked up at shining armor and spoke. "I...just..wanted..to..say..I..was.sorry...I didn't...want to...Hurt..anyone....I...just..want...to..to...."

Then I slipped in to a black void....

Perspective change: Twilight<<<

I thought I would never have witnessed it. I had read many books on how ponies murdered other ponies, but that was long before my time. Now. Right in front of me. I just saw a act of murder. From my own brother!

"Come on Twily. You don't need to see this." My brother said as he stepped towards me.

I stepped away from him."Twily, what's wrong?" He asked.

"What's wrong? What's wrong!? YOU JUST KILLED MY FRIEND! THAT'S WHATS WRONG!!" I screamed at him.

Tears were starting to fall. The creature I brought to this world. The one that forgave me. The one that helped Spike. The one who I spent a entire night helping the doctors fix. The one who was my friend was now dead or dying.

"Twilight, that thing is a monster that could've hurt innocent ponies! Twilight it broke part of your home open!" He retorted.

"I did that! I brought him here! Any damage he did was my fault! And now you've just killed an innocent being Shining!" I defended.

The look on his face must have meant these word were hitting him hard.

"T-Twilight. He.."

"HE DID WHAT HUH?! NOTHING! HE. DID. NOTHING. WRONG. YOU RACIST FLANKHOLE, HE DID NOTHING WRONG!! HE WAS SNATCHED FROM HIS HOME AND WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY! NOW HE WILL NEVER GET TO EXPLAIN TO HIS FRIENDS WHAT HAPPENED! IN FACT THEY WILL NEVER GET TO SEE HIM WHEN THEY WAKE UP!! SHINING YOU PRETTY MUCH JUST KILLED THE BROTHER OF THESE TWO!!" I was furious right now.

Now I could tell what I said hit Shining hard. I don't now whether it was his little sister crying and yelling at him or the fact he really did kill somepony who was innocent.

"Twi-" I cut him off before he could continue.

"I! AM! NOT! FINISHED!! HE HELPED ME SHINING! HE HELPED ME FIND SPIKE WHEN HE WAS HURT!! HE HELPED A COMPLETE STRANGER TO FIND HER LOVED ONE BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT THERE WAS TROUBLE!! HE WAS A NICE CREATURE SHINING!! I TRIED TO STOP YOU, YOU JUST SHRUGGED ME OFF! JUST LIKE AT THE WEDDING!!" This caused him to flinch.

Even the guards were shaking at my little display. Then I heard a very familiar voice.

"Shining armor. Is what Twilight is saying true? Did you attack without any type of waring or even try to make peace with the creature?" The voice came from none other than princess Celestia, by her side was also princess Luna, Shining bowed his head and kneeled

"Yes your highness. I did. I was-" The princess cut him off by holding up a hoof.

"Shining armor you know we have a very low tolerance of attacking ponies or any creature without reason. Killing, on the other hoof, is completely unacceptable." The princess let out a sad sigh "You have done both. I here by decree that you shall no longer be the captain of the royal guard. For your actions have shown today, you are unfit to command my troops. I am sorry." This caused Shining's demeanor to change quickly. He was sad before now he was depressed and ashamed.

"Wait..." We all heard a raspy voice say.

It.... was Deckard?! He was alive! He shouldn't be though... from what little he told me about human anatomy. If he got stabbed in the heart he should be dead. I saw him lean up and coughed into his hand. Then he wiped his hand off on his chest. Blood was smeared on his chest now.

Perspective change: Deckard<<<

I woke up for a second to hear a very sad piece of news.

"I here by decree that you shall no longer be the captain of the royal guard. For your actions have shown today, you are unfit to command my troops. I am sorry." Said a foreign voice.

'Wow, if that voice was any more caring I would almost say it was my moms!' I felt depressed after that thought, I couldn't let this guy lose his job because he was trying to defend his family and people.

"Wait...." I sat up through the excruciating pain and coughed into my hand.

'Blood...aww fuck ' I wiped the blood off on my chest and looked at the new pony in the room.

She was tall. Taller than shining, almost as tall as me. Without the horn of course. I also noticed that the pony had both wings and a horn. She also wore a tiara and a big necklace with a purple diamond.

"Look....he *wheeze* was...only protecting...his...family and people.....he made...a good....choice...a bit rash....but...still...good.." I said with the few breaths I had.

I was feeling more and more faint. Twilight had walked up to me while I wasn't looking. I had tears in my eyes when I saw her crying. " Tw-Twilight....take..ca..care...of..my...friends..please....*choke...wheeze* and...thanks.."

"For what?" She said all choked up.

"F-For....saving..my...friends.." I said with a smile.

Then I looked at the tall pony again. "Please...forgive....Shining Armor.... he... only.. did... what.. he... thought... was.. right... please.." I closed my eyes and began to go limp.

"Deckard? Deckard NO! NO Dec-" I again blacked out probably for good this time.

Perspective change: Luna<<<

I saw the strange creature go limp next to Twilight. The poor mare was really taking this hard. I looked up at my sister and spoke.

"Sister, I believe we should heed the word of the strange creature. It gave it's last breath to defend shining. I believe you should consider revoking your previous order. Also we don't know if this creature is truly deceased!" I said hoping to help the Sparkle siblings.

Tia looked at me then at the creature. Her horn glowed for a brief moment and her eyes shot open. "Twilight. Is what you said about the creature true? Did he really help you?" She asked. I knew what she was planning.

"Yes, princess he did." Twilight said while still crying into the chest of the creature.

"Good... that's all I needed to hear. Guards clear the room of the medical staff and wait outside for us. You ready Luna?" She asked.

I nodded as both of our horns began to glow bright. The energy from our horns glowing then focused in front of us and shot into a each other creating a single beam. The beam hit the creatures chest. The blade that was stuck in his chest removed its self and caused his wound to stitch up quickly. Twilight only watched in awe as the wound was completely healed. Any internal bleeding that was left over was removed into a crimson orb outside of the creatures body. It started to harden until it was a solid mass. After it was hardened it gently floated down the ground. The energy was gone and now the only thing left was to see of it worked. I saw his claw twitch slightly...

Perspective change: Deckard<<<

'Why do I feel tingly? Is death supposed to feel tingly?' I tried to say out loud but only could be heard in my head.... I think.

'Being dead is confusing....' I said-thought.

This black void was getting old really fast and the weird sensation only made it more boring. I suddenly felt my senses coming back to me. I heard sniffling.

'Twilight?' Then I could smell the cool air from wherever I was.

I then could feel the floor and my finger twitch. Then a thought struck me.

'Am I alive?' I crack open my eye slowly.

I saw a now stupefied Twilight, an also awestruck Shining Armor, and two exhausted looking tall ponies. I then felt a small volt of pure energy run through my veins. My eyes shot open and all my muscles tensed.

"HOLY SHIT THAT FEELS WEIRD!!" I shouted as my muscles slowly relaxed.

"DECKARD!!" I heard Twilight yell as she wrapped her forelegs around me. "I don't know how they did it, but they did! They brought you back to life!"

"Who?" I asked as I got up and held Twilight in my arms.

I also noticed a distinct lack of guards and medical staff.

"Why, the princesses saved you of course!" She used a hoof to gesture at the tall winged unicorns.

There was now a blue pony exactly the same as the tall one, only she was a dark blue with a star dotted mane. Also she was noticeably shorter. I gently put Twilight down and walked over to the princesses.

"Hello." She started. "I'm princess Celestia, and this is my sister... princess Luna." She gestured towards the small winged unicorn.

The blue one was looking at me with curiosity. I slowly approached them and kneeled down to eye level to the blue one effectively making me look less threatening. "You saved my life?"

They both nodded. I almost immediately started to tear up. I quickly grabbed both of them and gave them a HUGE hug."Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am forever in your dept! Ask anything of me and it will be done!" I said as tears fell from my face.

"Well for starters you can put us down." Luna said with a chuckle and a blush.

I looked down to see I was standing and holding both of them off the ground. Tia was 2 inches off the ground and Luna was almost a foot of the ground.

"Oh oops... sorry." I gave a sheepish smile as I placed them on the ground.

They both took a few steps away to get a better look of me. "It's quite alright Mr....?" "Deckard your majesty." " Yes, it's quite alright sir Deckard. You were only expressing you gratitude." Celestia said.

Then we all heard a groan come from behind us. My eyes widened.

'Are they...'. I whipped around and saw my friends moving around a little.

Twilight had backed up from the beds when she saw them moving. I saw Chris's eyes flutter open. They darted around until they met me. "Deckard? Am I still dreaming or are you standing around a bunch of multi-colored ponies?" He said in a drowsy state.

I smiled massively with more tears running down my cheeks. "You ain't dreaming now man. We're finally safe!" I said making my way to the bed.

"What? How? You know better than me that nowhere is safe." He said. His eyes never left me.

"Okay dude, don't call me crazy, but this pony here..." I said gesturing for the lavender pony to come over.

She did so hesitantly. "This pony right here. Brought us to another dimension."

He looked at me for a second before bursting into laughter. "Dude *snicker* how can a pony do that?"

"Hey Twilight, you wanna introduce yourself and show him?" I asked the pony in question.

She nodded and walked up to the bed. She sat down in his plain sight and began. "Hello. My name is Twilight Sparkle and I brought you to this dimension through the use of none other than magic *snort snort*." She said jokingly causing me to drop to the floor in a fit of laughter.

She then levitated a glass of water from the night stand over to him. "Thirsty?" She said innocently.

He grabbed the glass and stared at it before placing it back on the night stand. "...."

"Uh Deckard? I think I might have broke him." She said with a small giggle. *poof* Chris had passed out.
