I thought I was dead.
That all you got? (rough draft)
Previous ChapterNext ChapterDrax had now reached terminal velocity and was falling fast, Rainbow dash was watching her work as it fell through the sky.
She was about to congratulate herself when she realized that Drax was going to hit her if she didn't move out of the way, fast.
"SHIT" exclaimed rainbow as she got out of the way right as Drax had passed her in the sky.
The ponys who had gathered had now spread out away from where Drax was about to hit. Twilight and the Princess were desperately trying to slow him down while every other pony was in shock at what Rainbow had just done, condemned another living being do death.
"Rainbow, what in the HELL were you thinking?" shouted the princess "he may have valuable information!"
"I don't want any killer in the same town as my friends!" Rainbow retorted.
An argument was just about to break out but then Drax hit the ground. Sending a small shock wave through the plaza that everyone was gathered in.
"Oh no oh no oh no" said Fluttershy, who was now hovering over Drax.
"Somepony get Nurse Redheart" said one of the ponys who had started to move in around the crash site, to see the extent of the damage.
"Hm, not that bad, bloody nose, a few new cuts, and... not much else" Drax thought to himself.
He felt the invisible bonds that had been put on him dissipate and he could finally move freely again and with that he got up and dusted himself off.
"HOW IN THE FUCKING HELL ARE YOU STILL ALIVE!!!" yelled Rainbow.
"Is that seriously all you got? That was only a 2000 foot drop, I'v been through much worse.
"Is that so, well then tough guy, tell us whats the worst drop you have survived?" said Rainbow, who was obviously irritated that she was not able to kill him.
"Lets see, the worst drop... AH, it was my 7'th NPOD and..."
"Whats a NPOD" said Rainbow
"No Pod Orbital drop" said Drax
"whats orbital drop? asked Rainbow
"ill explain later" answered Drax
Rainbow still obviously irritated, sat down with a look of confusion and anger on her face.
"As I was saying, It was my 7'th NPOD, and every time we have a drop, we each get to choose the speed that we are ejected out at the planet at. Usual speed is around 10 MPH. Anyways, I asked for 10 mph, the guy slipped up and put 50 mph." Said Drax. "You see, when we eject, the amount of speed that we have depends on how hot our armor gets due to friction. At 10 mph, you usually feel a bit warm, 20 your sweating a heck of a lot. 50, it feels like a damn oven in there. Thankfully the planet was covered in snow, so that made the burning go away fairly quickly."
"Ok I see that's impressive, but why? Why send yourself on such a dangerous process?" asked Twilight
"Well, you see. When an AMSS shows up via NPOD, of any rank that means one of three things: 1: The mission that the regular soldiers are on is much higher importance than they originally thought, 2: When over 10,000 troops are facing immanent destruction and they have very important information that the enemy can not get a hold of.
"Thats still interesting but what do you mean troops and stuff. I know that your joking about you being the Drax from the story and besides, War is only a concept, it would never happen, not in a million years." Said Rainbow
"I have to agree with Rainbow on this one. There is no way your Drax and war is... its just a concept, not reality" Said Twilight
Many of the other ponys who were still watching this muttered in agreement, except for Lyra, she was still excited that humans DID exist and she was NOT crazy.
"Princess, what do you think of the matter of war?" Asked Twilight.
"Its a horrible concept and I thought that you were crazy, whatever your name is, but now, you have just confirmed my suspicions. GUARDS Take him back to his cell, I think he is still in a daze from randomly transporting here." Said the Princess
The guards started to approach Drax, but then something happened. The skin on Drax's right arm started to retract back to the top revealing a metal augmented arm, attached at the shoulder that had engraved into it D.R.A.X-1.
"Princess, if you think that I would sacrifice my true arm, and get this augmented one, just because I wanted to, your the crazy one. The reason I got this was so that I could always be armed with a backup weapon if I needed one, like this little gadget here." said Drax. As soon as he had stopped talking, two small metal cylinders popped out of where the top of the wrist would have been.
"What... what are those things" asked the Princess.
"These are barrels to a .50 cal pistol. The tech has not changed much in pistols themselves, but the ammo has. It used to be that there was only a small variety of bullets to use, now there are over 1000 types, for a single gun, at the moment, I have C13 rounds in here, which on contact explodes just like the C4 bullets would, but this explodes at a much greater force and with around 10 times the power." said Drax.
The guards had started backing up away from Drax, they had gone from a slow walk to a all out run away from him.
"The government that I came from, would have never given this to anyone who was not in the military." said Drax.
"For you, war may be just a concept but for us, it was real. I have seen good men come and go, live and die. A hard day for you all may be that things just don't go your way, for us on the battlefield, a bad day means loosing a limb or even dying." he said.
Now all the pony's mouths were once again agape at the realization that this was in fact the Drax from the story, the ruthless killer, the one who had slaughtered entire villages, the one who supposedly gave his life to stop the war, the legendary human general who had put himself through training like no other, the one who "gave his life" to stop the war.
"So, does anyone still believe that I am not who I say I am, or that I am not Drax?" asked Drax
No one moved, spoke, or even breathed out of the pure shock of who they were looking at.
Drax chuckled to himself "ha, I didn't think so"
