Chapter 4
Previous ChapterNext ChapterNot many ponies knew this but if you got you hands on a teleport stone you could create a custom animation other than just appearing in a flash of light but these ponies knew and not only that they made great use of the system the first one had grey clouds appear and then a loud boom a single lightning bolt hit the ground the bolt was made of three colors but i still couldn't tell who it was because they where doing a group teleport The first member was obviously a Pegasus cloaked in a red light but apart from that i couldn't tell much more next a purple diamond sprang from the ground and started to break apart from the top to the bottom reveling a unicorn coated in a purple light next a swarm of butterfly's came out of nowhere and started flying in a circle then they just dispersed and there was another pegasus cloaked in a pink light then a cannon appeared in the sky and in a blast of confetti and balloons an earth pony appeared this one had a blue light covering it next a tree grew out of the ground and a single apple hung from its branches the apple dropped to the ground and exploded in every direction but where the apple hit the ground there was now another earth pony surrounded in an orange glow and then the five ponies clad in light all looked up there was a six pointed purple star that descended from the sky it fell to the ground hiding the other five behind it then the star collapsed in on itself to reveal a unicorn surrounded in a purple light then a the colors left thee bodies forming a rainbow tornado which dispersed to reveal six ponies this time though I'm pretty sure my mouth left a dent in the ground standing in front of me where the elements of harmony the real group not just one of the hundreds of copycat guilds who used the name but the true elements because no stallion worth his guy card wouldn't recognize fluttershy the ex model from a glance and this was her for sure then i started to recognize the rest of the group and i must say by discords smile they are all drop dead Georges it took a second to realize i was starring. they didn't seem to mind so mabey this must happen alot.at least none of them called me on it. y'all get a good look sugar cube? ok scratch that last part well this isn't going to end well. Now really darling can you blame him i mean come on even you have to admit that we are a sight to behold and after that entrance it would have been strange for him not to stare.yea plus your not that bad to look at either aj. Apple jack shot the blue mare a glare that im sure would have killed a giant on the spot. Ok girls before we get any further off task spike why did you call us here. O come on twilight its fire heart here how many times do i have to tell you. Whoops sorry spi... i mean fire heart i keep forgetting but its not like it matters well it confuses ponies when the names don't match up. fine fine but still why are we here. o right this is sharky and he THUNK fire heart was sent flying into a tree as the group of mares stampeded over him to bombard me with questions well twilight was bombarding me with questions the others just wanted to know if the rumors were true that i could use 6 swords and that i had defeated a spider queen and both were true twilight on the other hoof was asking for a full stat list and was a little shocked when i told her all my points were in mana she went on to tell me how dangerous that was till i explained my telekinetic grip ability then she just nodded and listened to me list off my gear she kept asking questions every few seconds and then we got back on track finally after fire heart used what i assume was a safe word or something because he just whispered in her ear then she stopped asking questions and apologized. ok so what are we here for anyway im getting tired and this is cutting into my nap time. fire heart chimed in we are going to kill a golem for the second time today i was deafened by the group of mares yelling WHAT ARE YOU INSANE. this was where i chimed in telling them about why i as targeting the golem after that they looked at spike and he said the reward would be worth the risk at that they all simply sighed and said that if they didn't help we where probably going to try anyway and get ourselves killed twilight looked at me and then a party invite showed up in front of me i clicked on the invite and then saw there names and healthbars apper in my heads up display(HUD) then twilight told spike to hand me the loner gear.at first i was offended at least until i saw what the loner gear was each of the items was better than my current gear by at least 2 levels with the acceptation of my water sword that is after i had the gear on rarity and fluttershy approached me rarity asked me what stat i used most without missing a beat i told her mana i didn't even have to think about it my skill chewed through mana like there was no tomorrow after that she handed me an amulet an i looked at stats i was stunned in my hoof there was an amulet that expands my mana pool by a thousand and fluttershy handed me 2 potions to restore it to full this meant that i could use my skill for 3 minuets before i even had to recharge it. and then a thought hit me if this is the loner gear then do they do this alot?do you guys do this often? without missing a beat rainbow dash just said yep we take out players and help them level up so they can help us later on there is also a small fee but since this is going to help us out and you dont need the help there's no charge for you. By the way what are your group positions I'm guessing fire heart is your group smith and fluttershy is the alchemist but what does everypony else do?well rainbow started to say aj here is a vanguard shes a strait up tank and built like one to boot at this applejack started to swing at rainbows head and rainbow stayed just out of her reach while still talking she flew above the group rarity here is are enchanter she adds effects to all our gear like your new amulet pinkie pie is a demolitions expert she makes traps and bombs which are guarantied to destroy an entire city block also before you ask no you cant use her bombs she uses dangerously short fast burning fuses its a wonder she hasn't blown herself up yet and twilight is our group sniper and she is also are monster cataloguer she has this skill to see any monsters weak point after she spots it she shoot the spot with an arrow and then she looks for the next weak point on the beast and then theres the best which i saved for last me I'm all about speed and dodging.my job is to grab the monsters attention and set it up for aj to knock it down.then the group started to get their gear out and the lineup would make anypony jealous twilight was supporting a large repeating crossbow with an auto reloading twelve arrow rotating clip applejack had a huge buster sword that had to be at least seven feet long and three feet wide fluttershy had no weapons instead she had a belt with a bunch of small glass orbs on it they seemed to have a small amount of liquid in them turns out it's a bunch of different mixtures from smoke bomb to a poison liquid that could paralyze anything for an hour as well as some small containers holding poisons for coating weapons and health potions hope she can remember which is which rarity was holding a staff in her telekinesis going over a list of buffs and attack spells rainbow had two small blades attached to her hooves and was stretching her wings pinkie had pulled a huge table out of thin air and was mixing various ground up powders together and loading them into a hollow spear provided by fire heart as well as a few arrows which she handed to twilight i noticed how focused they all where then i realized they had this great team and could have taken down this golem without my help heck they even gave me weapons and armor that anypony else would have killed for just the chance to hold. what could i do to help these ponies who needed nothing? then it hit me hay fireheart give me six of your best shields. Immediately He started shouting no way man why should i give you seven of my best shields?Now every pony was gathered around us. Calmly i said because if i use a bunch of crap shields then i wont be able to protect everypony and they will just break after one hit now if this loner shield is your worst then your best shields must be works of art that can take a beating now give me the shields So i can protect everypony. Twilight was just starring what do you mean protect everypony? it will be easier to show you then to tell using my telekinesis i grabbed the loner shield and my wooden shield then i grabbed six rocks handing two each to applejack rainbow dash and pinkie pie then i had twilight stand about 5yards away from me then i looked at the three ponies holding rocks and told them to try to hit me or twilight looking at her friends twilight just shrugged and said fire away now i expected them to throw most of the rocks at me so i was ready to dodge but what happened next was that two rocks where headed my way three where headed at twilight and one was headed for fluttershy who wasn't paying attention to our little demonstration thinking quickly i used the rental shield to the rocks headed for twilight dodged the two thrown at me by a hair and used the wooden shield to block fluttershy but i was just barely quick enough to get the wooden shield from me to her and she almost took a shot right two the head and they hadn't held back either the wooden shield and the rental both had dents in them the second one surprised me but i had something more important to worry about who threw the rock at fluttershy turns out i didn't have to look far as twilight had already been glaring at the culprit rainbow dash whats the big idea what i wanted to see how he would react to the change in situation plus i keep telling her to watch her surroundings we both know that if she was paying attention she would have dodged that with ease i mean come on she dodged snake bites for 6 years and didn't get bitten once if the rock had hit her though she would have learned her lesson at least.thats not your call rainbow also nice moves back their sharky i didn't know anypony other than fluttershy who can dodge like that. What can i say when you only use swords you either learn to dodge or you learn to take a hit i chose the former over the later. th...thank you for stoping the rock for me i could barely make out those words as she tried and almost succeeded in trying to disappear behind her mane. So fire heart do you understand my plan now yea yea just one question is the shields weight an issue? well the lighter the shield the less mana i need to keep it airborne but the amount of mana burned every five seconds is equal to the shields weight.so a light shield would be better. assuming it can take a beating yes a light shield would be better but a heavy shield would make for better sustained defense.any particular shape you want? Seven hexagonal shields? Why seven its easier to show than to tell spike figured this was true so he brought the shield out of his inventory each shield was a different color when I asked why fire heart just said it was to tell them apart each shield had different stats But they made a rainbow i chose to use the blue shield as the center piece after that assumed a fighting stance griping the other six shields in my telekinesis i linked them to the edges of the blue shield and held them in place making one big shield then to finish my demonstration i split the shield apart to have one shield hovering around everypony else besides me when fire heart asked why i didn't get a shield i told him that i was going to hang back and focus on defense rather than get in the others way as a solo player i didn't have much practice fighting in groups so i figured that i was going to get under someponys hooves or slam into them while the fight is going on and one or both of use would get hit and die so im going to use the tools at my disposal and make sure nopony gets hurt during this fight they all nodded and seamed to think this was a good plan.
