Chapter 1: INCOMING!!! A new kind of creature lands in Equestria
Today was the first day of Summer in Equestria. Over here in the capital city: Canterlot, there was a celebration being held and I, Princess Celestia, have invited my very faithful student and her very best friends, that wielded The Elements of Harmony and their names are: Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. And of course, Twilight's Dragon assistant: Spike, was also there with them to enjoy the 'Grand Solace/Lunar Festival'. They all came to see both me and my sister, Princess Luna, which we ourselves were over watching the festival from a stage that was set just for us and saw the group approaching towards us. I got up from my seat and went over to them, while Luna as well got up and followed closely behind me.
"Princess Celestia!" Twilight began to run up to me and hugged me.
"Ah Twilight, it's good to see that you and your friends can make it to the Festival." I said as I hugged Twilight under me. The others soon came and gave a short bow to me and Luna. "So what do you girls think of the festival?" Celestia asks them.
"Well Ah'll be, ya'll know how to satisfy everyponies needs, you got everything in here, ain't that right girls?" They all nodded in agreement with Applejack, we actually do have what anypony would've ever dream of, maybe even more than that from what they've already seen so far. Luna and I have been planning this for sometime now and decided to make it official.
"Yeah I'll say, I mean look how big this place is, it's like a big-super-duper-ultra-massive party for all of Equestria to enjoy and have all the sweet tasty treats you can eat and fun carnival rides that will make you ride on them again and again...." Pinkie Pie, talking long and fast at everything she sees around her with her friends and other ponies, while we just stood there in amusement of the pink pony's excitement.
"Yeah there's even a showcase of the Wonderbolts showing off their new tricks!" Rainbow Dash shouted out in excitement and dashed off to the stadium, leaving a dash rainbow blur trail behind her at high speed.
"Well, I'll be heading in the markets to find some gems and material for my fashion designs." Rarity stated and trotted over to the market section, Spike even went along with her to grab some gems for him to chow down on.
Me, Luna and Twilight looked towards the other two since Pinkie was already off to one of the rides, or eating some of the many sweets. "What about you two?" Twilight asked.
"Oh, I was gonna go see that new petting zoo they have here." Fluttershy said in a low tone shy voice that was often spoken as always and made her way there, but before she could, we hear a loud rumbling sound coming from Applejack's stomach.
"Heh, Ah'll be at the food court." She said in embarrassment as the others and I gave a little laugh, soon AJ joined in. After a while of laughing, Applejack and Fluttershy went off and gone where they want to be, all that was left, was Twilight herself.
"Well then Twilight, what would you be doing?" I asked Twilight.
"Oh well, I'll be down at the book market they have here to check out some of the new books they have in store there." Twilight answered. No surprises there really, I always knew Twilight since she was a little filly, she would study magic spells all day and night hard, until she perfected it to its greatest.
"Alright then Twilight, if you and your friend want to, you can all stay here in the castle, we already have rooms prepared for you and the festival only lasts until midnight." Twilight thought about this for a moment and when she was finished, she turned to face me and nodded.
"Sure princess, we don't mind sleeping in the castle for the night." Twilight said with a smile on her face and hugged me one last time and gave a short bow to Luna before heading off towards the book market.
The girls were having the time of their lives, Pinkie Pie was going on every ride she could find and eating all the sweet tasty treats she can find, and all the while, hopping and singing during that time, or just zipping through place-to-place.
Rainbow Dash was enjoying the show that the Wonderbolts were putting, one of them known as Spitfire: Captain of the Wonderbolts, spotted Dash and wanted her to perform her famous 'Sonic Rainboom' for them, which she was keen on, of course.
Rarity was busy getting her material and equipment she needed for her design, Spike was there with her to help out with the bags, soon they found a market full of gems, jewels and diamonds. Spikes mouth was beginning to drool at the sight as Rarity only shook her head in amusement, so she bought two bags, one for her, the other for Spike to eat.
Fluttershy was down at the petting zoo and the animals there were better than the ones in the garden, those kept running away from her for some reason, well at least these ones were more reasonable and more smaller and younger.
Applejack was making her way towards the food court, once there she found out that they were having a eating contest and she was up for it, and after a while, she won the contest and the crowd was going wild for her. As for Twilight, she was at the book stores, checking out what books were there that might interest her and as soon as she found one, she started to read it.
And they pretty much needed this, a break from all the chaotic adventures they had to go through and such. But even though they were having so much fun, I can still see that a part of them wished something new would happen, something that was out of this world.
It was 11:59pm and there was one more surprise that me and Luna had in stored for everypony that was there and they all gather to see what it was, a minute later, firework started to pop up into the sky and light up the night with its many colors. But during this time, something else was happening, something nopony ever would expect, luckily somepony did and warned us what was coming, or more preferably, falling from the sky. Looking up to the sky, we all saw four meteors coming in fast, two were heading right towards the city and the other two were heading for Ponyville.
There wasn't much time, in a few moments the meteors were going to hit. Rainbow Dash was sent back to Ponyville, along with the Wonderbolts and a squad of Royal Guards to warn everypony what was happening, while the others help out in Canterlot, Twilight was with me and Luna. Her brother, Captain of the Royal Guards: Shining Armor and his wife and my niece: Princess Cadence, were also there to help cast the spell to deflect the meteors. Me, Luna and all the others got themselves ready for the spell and casted it just in time, all that was left, was to wait and hope this works.
The spell we used was to help empower the shield, making it stronger and more bigger so that Ponyville wouldn't be harmed, the meteors were getting close, in a few seconds they were about to hit the shield, but as soon as they hit the shield, we were all shocked at what happen next.
The shield was broken, the meteors have broken right through the shield! But luckily the shield absorbed most of the impact and slowed them down a bit so that they wouldn't cause that much destruction, but the shockwave was still powerful as they landed. The first two meteors crash landed in the center of the festival, creating a big crater in the landing and destroyed most of the festival stores, while the other two were heading straight for Ponyville, fortunately they just landed right outside of the town.
Me and the others went to investigate the meteors, as soon as we got there, the smoke was clearly out and revealing the meteors. Only to find out, that they weren't ordinary ones, no. This brought, yet another, shocking surprise to all of us as we were all in awe struck by what we were looking at. The meteors weren't all molted rock; they were actually two big huge crystals.
I then turn to my sister and said, "Luna, go check that one over there. I'll check on this one here." Luna nodded and went to one of the crystal meteors while I went to the other. Twilight and the others were there waiting up on the edge and watching.
Luna was examining the big crystal on the left that at a certain distances, it glowed a dark shaded purple light, while I was examining the other on the right and it too, glowed. But this one was glowing in a crimson-blood red light and they were flowing with power that sent chills down my spine and the same can be said for Luna too. We could not tell weather these two crystals were evil or not, this made me worried all the more.
The two of us decided to move up to them and examine it a little more, but the more closer we move up, the more power we felt was getting stronger and stronger and I wasn't liking it.
[Twilight's POV]
I was starting to get worried as me and the others were just standing on the edge of the crater, watching them, "Please be careful princesses." I whispered, mostly to myself.
"It's going to be OK Twilight." My big brother, Shining Armor, was right beside me while princess Cadence, his wife and my childhood foalsitter, was on the other side of me, as she extended her left wing out and drape it over me, trying to comfort me.
"Everything is going to be just fine, you'll see." Cadence said in a soft, soothing voice, as she held me under her wing.
"I know." I said with a smile, which soon faded, "But it's just that..."
"We know Twilight." Shining Armor knew what I was talking about, "We can also feel it too, even though we're all the way up here." He was dead accurate and he knew it. The power that was being channel throughout of those crystals was massive, in fact so massive, that it may even exceeded both of the princesses. I can even see it on my friends face that they too, can feel it. For now, it was somewhat even with the two sister's power.
The two were up close to them, while they were thoroughly examing the two crystals, Luna discover something, "Sister, there's something inside here!" She shouted out to her sister.
"It's the same here too!" Celestia replied, having to see the same thing as Luna.
"What do you think they are?!" Luna asked Celestia.
"I don't know Luna!" She answered. Not knowing what it was, there was only one thing left to do, "We'll have to look into them!"
And so, they went in to find way to open up the crystals. But as soon as they touched them, the light renegading from them started to shine brighter and brighter, it was making the ground shake and sending off a high-pitch noise as well. It was too much for any of us to even see what was happening, a few seconds later, beams of light started to shoot up towards the night sky, it also created a shock-wave which it forced all of us falling to the ground at the same time as well.
Soon the light was fading away and all the ponies and I got back up on our hoofs and started to run over to the princesses and help them up.
"Princess Celestia, are you alright!?" I ask in a worried tone.
Celestia looked up at me with a smile, "I'm fine Twilight. But what about Luna?" She asks.
"She’s fine malady, little dizzy, but fine." Shining Armor spoke up as he pointed over to where Luna was. Cadence was with Luna at the time, helping her up and using some spells to heal her of any bruises.
Celestia signed in relief, "That's good to hear," she then turns her intentions towards the two crystals, or where they were last seen before the light, "Now... Let’s go see who, or what was in those crystals." After saying that, she started to walk forward, that is until she stumbles on upon something.
[Back to Celestia]
As I was just heading towards to where the crystals use to be, I stumble across some objects that were lying in front of me. Most of them look very odd, coming in different shapes and sizes; one thing I did recognize within them was a sword, a very big sword to be exact. The height of it must be somewhat stand up to my nose and the width of it was a few inches wider than me, but the designs on it was another story, it had strange, yet frightening patterns engraved in it, so it gave me a creepy feeling and I just move along to find the... being. I didn't have to go looking for it, or should I say him, for he was just there, lying on the ground on his back, and he was a human, I know because their kind use to walk among us ponies, before things... got out of control with them and we have to send them away. And as to how they came back though, is a mystery, whoever brought them here, or whatever, will have to wait.
As I move closer to him, I saw that he had long, spiky hair; all red with black tips on them and then there were three hair liners on the front covering his left eye a bit. His body was big and musically, probably a soldier no doubt, and the clothes he was wearing were all black. Black jeans, black singlet that said 'No Fear' on it with a skull in the middle and two swords in the background cross in an 'X' with skulls at the end of the handles, black boots, black leather finger-less gloves, and he even wore a black mask that covered the half bottom of his face. I look over to his left arm and saw that there were patterns on it, not sure if it was a cutie mark but... I heard him groaning as he tried to wake up, as soon as he open his eyes, I saw that they were the brightest shade of emerald green I have ever seen, even under the illumining moonlight, they shone just as bright as the sun.
As he look towards me, ours gazes were locked onto each other and that's all we did in the next few minutes, he look afraid, confused, lost even.
"Who... are you?" Those were the first words I heard from him and the way he said, it was in a low tone, kind of like Fluttershy but a little bit louder then hers, it was also a bit deep, heavy, rough kind of way too.
"Please, do not be afraid," I said to him, to insure him that I mean him no harm, "I am Princess Celestia, what's your name?" I asked him.
It seems that he has something tucked under his singlet when he sat up and moved his hand to his neck and as soon as he found what he looking for, he pulled it out and showed me three necklaces: The first was a cross that had a square in it, the second was a greenstone which had patterns that looked the same as the ones on his arm, as for the third one he shown me, it had his name, his rank and the squad he's from.
Name: Fenix Ravcore.
Rank: 1st Lieutenant.
Squad: Alpha.
Class: Heavy Weapon Specialist.
So I was right, he IS a soldier and from the look of him and he's a weapons specialist type of soldier. After that he got up onto his feet and started stretching out, from what I could tell, his height is probably up to my muzzle, or a few more inches then that.
"Where am I?" He asked while cracking his neck.
"You're in a land called Equestria and I am it's co-ruler, and there are others. Others of your kind." I answered and he look back at me.
"Others? How many? Where?"
"There are four of you in total; two have landed just outside of Ponyville. While you and the other one landed here in Canterlot." His eyes went wide after hearing this.
"'Landed', you mean... we fell from the sky?" He ask, still a little shock at the information I gave him.
"Yes, luckily nopony was hurt and all four of you were all sealed up inside a crystal when you landed." He gave a sigh of relief, knowing that no one got hurt and that the others were still alive, he then turns to where the items were and walk towards them as I followed behind him.
But before we could reach them, a spark of light flashed in front of us and out popped my student, "Twilight, what are you doing down here?"
[Fenix’s POV]
I don't know what's going on here, or how all of this happen, but it didn't matter. What's happening right now is important, and right now a purple lavender unicorn just popped up out of nowhere right in front of me and the princess, her mane and tail were straight and it had a mix of dark violet, light purple and pink, but separate. Her eyes were also a purple lavender and there seem to be some sort of marking on her flank, it's a six pointed star, colored in red or some sort, surrounded by a few white star dots. She then answered the princess, "I came to see if you... Were..." She trailed off from her sentence, probably because she saw me standing before her as I look down at her, "Uh hi there..." She said nervously with a smile, as I only gave her a nod in response as me and her look at each other for the moment.
A few awkward silences later I was introduced to her by the Princess."Twilight Sparkle, I would like you meet Fenix Ravcore," she said with smile and then looks back at me. "Fenix, this is my star pupil and faithful student, Twilight." Really? This little pony was the princess's student. Well I'll be damned.
We look at each other for a few seconds until Twilight broke the silence and ask me a question "Mr Fenix, sir, if you don't mind me asking you this, but, Uh..." I bent down on one knee to listen to what she was asking me, "You ARE a human, right?" Well... this caught me off, how did she know about my kind? Or 'How did THEY know?' I should say, because I'm sure everyone else must have known about us, but still it doesn't make any sense at all, even we thought that Unicorns and Pegasus were just a fairy tale made for kids. And there's also one other thing that has been bugging me... Princess Celestia. Why wasn't she freak out about seeing a human just like her student, was she hiding something from all of us? Ah screw it, I'll ask her later when the time's right.
I thought back to Twilight's question and answer it, "Yes, I am..." What follow after that was, well... her jumping up and down around me in a circle and repeatedly saying 'I was right' a few times before she stop in front of me, "And also, you don't have to call me 'Mr.' it's makes me feel old, just Fenix is Okay." She seem to have blushed slightly... in embarrassment of calling me Mr.
"Ohh... sorry about that Fenix," Twilight apologized to me with a sheepish smile as I just waved it off and saying 'it's Okay' to her and she smiled at that, "So, do you remember what happen to you and how you got here?" She asked me, I only shook my head, not knowing what had happen to me, or how I even got here, and I guess that can be said the same for the other three... whoever they are, hopefully some folks I know at least.
Looking back at the stash that was left on the ground, I got up and started to move towards them with Twilight and her mentor following closely behind me. Now I may not sound or look like I'm freaked out about all this, but really I am a little weird-ed out, But strangely... at the same time, it doesn't seem to bother me one bit. As we reached the stash of 'weapons' that were lying on the ground, I felt something tugging at my pants as I looked down and saw Twilight looking up at me with a puzzled look on her face, "What is it?" I ask.
"Fenix, what are those things? The sword I understand, but..." She then pointed her hand--- err hoof towards the 'other' weapons, "Those ones, I have never seen any of them around." She then looked back at me, "Do you know what they are?"
"Yes..." I answer her as I bent down on one knee to look at her, "I do."
"Really? Then, what are they?" I look away from her for a moment, I REALLY didn't want to answer her, nor could I lie to her, her kind has never saw these 'kinds' of weapons, neither did they thought about inventing something like them. I didn't want her or the others to know, I didn't...
"Fenix, what's wrong? Are you alright?" she ask as she placed a hoof on my left shoulder as I look back at her. Her face filled with worry and fear for me, she probably thought she went too far, or got too personal with the subject... if only she knew... but nonetheless, I nodded to her and she smiled happily and was about to ask me something.
But before she could, "Twilight," Princess Celestia interrupted, "Perhaps it is best if you don't ask him anymore questions, my young pupil." Twilight looked back at her with confused expression on her face.
"Why?"
"Sometimes it's a complicated subject if you don't know how to explain it in a more... glamorous way."
How right she was. This, indeed, is a complicated subject to explain to her, and judging from her personality, she seems to be that type of wanting to learn everything and maybe had her head in the books for way too long. A lot of things can happen when you spend your whole life in the research lab and in your studies... if they even have labs, which I doubt it. But when you're on a different planet, you'll never know what they might have and what they do on a daily basis, but still... I had a feeling that they weren't evil, they're too nice and generous to be like that, maybe I could start to like it here.
Twilight seem to understand what her teach was getting at and decided to dismiss the question as we went over to the weapons. As soon as we got there, I realize that the sword and the guns were off a couple of games I played back at home; The sword look a lot like "War's" sword off of 'Darksiders I: Wrath of War' and the guns were off of 'Gears of War'. And by that, I mean from all three of the GoW: Lancer, Vulcan mini-gun, Boomshot, Incendiary grenades, two Gorgon pistols and a lot of other weapons from it too... Damn man, what the hell's up with that? Well it doesn't matter, I went over to them and collected them all, the rest I stored in a big enough military bag laying beside them, so I grab it and started to put the rest in it. Princess Celestia and Twilight Sparkle came over when I was finish, but before we went over to where the other human was, some other ponies came to where we were.
"Oh darlings, are you two Okay--- Oh hello." The unicorn pony that spoke to us was a pure snow white colored unicorn; her mane and tail all curled up nicely and the color of it was a nice dark shade of blue, well it's a bit dark in the night so I wouldn't know, but the moonlight seem to add to her beauty, her eyes were a bright azure blue color and her flanks marking were that of three blue diamonds, and her voice was that of a refine British woman, she then spoke again, "I'm sorry, I don't believe we've met. Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Rarity. What's yours?"
Rarity introduced herself and asked for my name. I bent down and told her my name "The name's Fenix Ravcore, it's nice to meet you Miss Rarity." She seems to be surprise about how quiet I am, and I think I saw her blushed slightly.
"Oh my stars, that sounds like a lovely name you have," She stated as she said my name. "Fenix Ravcore, I like that."
"I'm honored, but I don't think mine can compete with yours." OK I don't know where those words came out from, so don't ask.
"Aww, you don't have to be modest darling," She said, "I doubt my name can compare yours. But why the silences dear? Don't you talk that much?" She asked. Nothing new to me, I always get ask that question a lot, so I'm use to it.
"No, I don't talk that much."
"Why is that Fenix?"
"I just... don't feel like talking." I told her, I wasn't really much of a conversational type, "But I talk when I need to, so during most of the time, no, you won't hear a peep outta me." She seems to understand. After that, more ponies trotted towards us; some seem to be friends with Twilight and Rarity, but the others were another thing.
These ones look like guards for the princess no doubt: Both white Pegasi and brown Unicorns all wearing golden armor, the helmets were that of a Spartans one, only the helmets mane was either blue, or white, not red.
But that's not what bothers me, no, it was the way they were looking at me as they came towards us, I didn't like it. It looks as if they were looking at me like I was the enemy and I was really starting to get piss off about it. I know I don't say much about myself, but if there's one thing you want to know about me: is to not. Piss. Me. The FUCK off!!
Luckily Celestia saw this and stepped in, "Be still my guards, everything is alright..." She then glances back at me for a second and then back to her guards, "This young man here poses no threat." After that, they stood down and stop glaring at me.
One of them came towards us, it seems that this one was slightly bigger than the rest and most likely their commanding officer: It's a male Unicorn no doubt, his fur color also white and he was wearing a 'Royal Guards' uniform over it. His mane and tail colors were a dark and a light blue, his eyes were also blue as well and his marking on his flank seems... familiar... he too also had a six pointed star, the same star that Twilight Sparkle has, only difference is that this one was on a shield and it had three white stars on top. I wonder, is this stallion and twilight siblings or relatives?
"Shining!" Twilight called out his name and started running towards him.
"Twiley! Hey, there you are." He reached out and gave her a hug, "Why did you go off like that? You would've been hurt."
As those two were talking to each other, I look over to Celestia and ask, "Are they brother and sister?"
"Why don't you go over and find out?"
"It's not my place to get between their family bonding, such as now." I said to her.
"OK, I see where you're coming from," She said to me with a smile, understanding from my point of view and respects to others, "Yes, they are siblings. That there is Shining Armor; her older brother and he is my Captain of the Royal Guards."
"Wow... So it's not just Twilight you have as your personal student, you also have her brother as your Captain?" She nodded at this and I was just standing there... speechless.
Celestia laughed a little and the others did as well, must have overheard us. She then asked, "Is it really 'that' hard to believe?!" I nodded my head bluntly, still a bit speechless about the two siblings, "Well I see your point. Even I was a bit surprise about it." She pointed out.
During our conversation, the princess turned her gaze towards my left arm and asked me this, "Fenix, what is that on your arm?" I looked at my arm to see my family bond tattoo.
"It's... my family's bond tattoo."
"Your family's bond tattoo?" I started to explain what a ‘tattoo’ to her is and after that, Twilight and her brother, Shining Armour, came towards us.
"Shining," Twilight spoke, "I like you to meet a new friend and the first human, Fenix Ravcore. Fenix, this is Shining Armor, my BBBFF." I look at her in confusion to what she just said at the end.
"What's BBBFF?" I asked.
"Oh sorry, that stands for 'Big Brother Best Friend Forever'." She blushed in embarrassment while Shining chuckled at her.
"Heh heh, that's my little sister for ya, it's nice to meet you." I nodded at him as his eyes were scanning me and the first thing he sees is the sword on my back and the bag, "Uh Fenix, aren't those heavy on your back?" He ask and this caught me off guard... he was right, I should have been getting a sore back from carrying this many heavy objects like the sword and the guns, but no... it doesn't feel... heavy, in fact I didn't feel anything from them, what's happening to me!?
"Fenix, is everything OK?" I was snap back to reality when Celestia came in front of me with a worried look on her face and the same could be said about everyone else, "Fenix, what's wrong, are you alright?" She asked.
I shook my head, "No, I'm not alright..... I'm not even sure if I'm human anymore." After that statement, Celestia placed a hoof on my shoulder.
"Don't worry 1st Lieutenant; we will help you get through this."
"Wait, hold on, are you saying that he's a soldier?" Oh right. Shining and 'Twiley' never knew I was a soldier in the first place.
"Sorry, that sort of slip my mind and yeah... I am." This shocked them completely... Hell even the rest of the group were just as surprise as the two were.
Actually, now that I think about it, I haven't described the others, nor did I explain what the princess looks like so I'll start off with her. She was a tall pony with a Unicorns horn and Pegasus wings, all white with golden royal jewelries, her eye color were a purple rosy type I think, her mane and tail was... how do I explain it... moving as if the wind was blowing and the colors were blue, green and pink and the marking was that of a... sun. Hmm, I wonder what that means. I'll ask them that later.
As for the other three; one was an orange normal earth pony, with a cowboy hat on her, so I suspected that she's a southern American cowgirl, her mane and tail were both tied up like pony tails and they were color blonde, green eyes and her marking was that of three red apples.
The other was a yellow Pegasus, with a long, light pink mane and tail, cyan color eyes and her markings were three butterflies. And judging by her personality, she seems to be the shy, timid type, because she's now hiding her face behind that mane of hers...
As for the last one, she was a pink earth pony with a pink, poofy mane and tail too; blue eyes and her marking were three balloons. But this one was somehow.... different, as in her personality, because she's smiling right at me and it's growing bigger by the second, then all of a sudden... she was right up in my face!
"Hi I'm Pinkie Pie, I'm a friend of Twilight and Rarity over there, that orange pony over there is Applejack and the one next to her is Fluttershy, so Mr Fenix Ravcore sir, what do you like, I bet you like parties huh huh huh? Do you do you do you..." Jesus this one can talk and I thought high school had a lot of chatterboxes and fast talkers. But this 'Pinkie Pie' character makes them look like a fucking joke.... and she's STILL talking and asking me a whole bunch of questions! And I don't even know half of she said!
"Pinkie Pie!" A voice called out and I turn to find out it was Twilight's voice, "What are you doing? Get down from him right now!" She demanded.
"Why? I was just asking him some questi---"
"Pinkie!" Rarity interrupted her, "Get down and stop asking him questions, you're invading his personal space, and that's rude!" And just like that, Pinkie jumped off of me and hopped over to them, the others known as 'Applejack' and 'Fluttershy' soon followed and all five of them were locked in conversation.
I was about to go and see the other human when all of a sudden this flash of light came out nowhere, in front of me and out popped another one of Celestia's kind. Only this one was much smaller than her. It was a dark night-sky blue mare, from the looks of it, her mane and tail were moving the same way as Celestia, the only differences is that hers look just like the night, with the stars and all that in it. She had blue teal eyes and marking was a moon.
Her sudden appearances caught everyone’s attention, but that wasn't the only reason. "GREETINGS THY FELLOW HUMAN, WE HOPE THOU HAD A SAFE LANDING, YES!!!!!" Okay... that was loud and the ringing in my head is going to make my ears bleed out. I nodded my head in response and she was about to open her mouth, but only to be blocked by Princess Celestia hoof.
"Luna, old habits resurfacing again."
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry about that." This 'Luna' said without using that loud voice of hers. "I'm Princess Luna, Tia's little sister." So she's the other co-ruler of these lands.
"Luna, this is 1st Lieutenant Fenix Ravcore, he's one of those silent type ponies--- I-I-I mean people!" Luna laughed at her sister’s mistake, this also made me chuckle a little, while 'Tia' was standing there all flushed.
"Uh... Fenix," Luna stop laughing and look at me, "Again, I'm sorry for what happen back there. I didn't really mean to use the Royal Canterlot Voice." She continued, "Back then, it was traditional to address our subject with that type of vocal volume, and that dates back a thousand years ago."
"Wait... a thousand years ago... and you two were there around that time?" I asked. It's hard to believe that they're 'that old', then again, I'm on a different planet that's full of mythical creatures and then another question came to mind, "Plus, what species are you guys anyways?"
"I can vouch for that question." I turn my head to see that Twilight had heard what I ask, "The princesses’ race is called Alicorns, and they’re the most powerful ponies in all of Equestria." She said with a grin on her face, this made both princesses blush at that statement. "And their kinds are the only ponies that are immortal." Okay... I wasn't expecting that at all, but it does explain a lot. Applejack came to me and she seems to have my tattoo the way she's looking at it.
"Say partner, what's that on yer left arm there? Is that yer cutie mark?" She asked me and got me confused with the last two words.
What's a 'Cutie Mark'? Is that what they call it? Regardless I answer her, "No, it's not a... cutie mark. What is that anyway?"
Everypony around me, including the guards, staring at me in disbelief, of me not knowing what a cutie mark is.
"Well... if it's not a cutie mark, then what is it Fenix?" Twilight ask.
"A tattoo, my family bond tattoo. This is what my sister designed and first got, well not really her first tat but never mind that. It was the first for me when I turned eighteen," I pointed to it. "That there is my first tattoo, but it's not the only one I have on me." I said, only to have Pinkie Pie ask questions... again.
"Oh, oh, oh. Where are they? Can we see them? Huh, huh, can we, can we? Pretty pleasssssseeeee!?" The others seem to be wanting to see them as well, but unfortunately...
"Sorry girls, not now. I-- WE... need to go see the other human." They look at me in disappointment, but nodded all the same.
"Fenix," Luna spoke up before I even moved, "Before we go, I need to ask you about the human over there." I bent down to hear what she has to say, "Well it's just that... the other human looks a lot like you: his hairstyle is exactly like yours is, only the three hair liners in front covers his right eye, it's colors are jet black with dark purple tips. His skin is paler then yours is, and he wears the exact same clothes that you do now and the same height as you. So... can I ask: Is he your twin brother?" She finished as I sit there staring at the ground after she was done with the description.
I don't believe it. Even he's here too. I was overwhelmed with joy that I smiled a little. I looked back at her and answered her, "Yeah, I know him ALL too well." I got up and looked towards the guy I knew, "And sorry to disappoint you Luna, He WISHED that we were twins, but no we're not twins... we just get mistaken for that." She sighed in disappointment at this with her head down.
"But... we don't mind being called twins, really. We actually find that pretty funny." I said when I looked back at her and lifted her head up. "In fact, I and he are in the same unit, so we always get called that many times, even though we aren't brothers by blood. But there is the next best thing, which I think you and rest should know..." I looked over to the captain and his guards, "Especially you guys Cap'."
Shining Armour and the rest of the guards laughed a little, knowing full well of what I was saying, "How right you are Lieutenant, Brothers-in-arms?" Shining said.
"Brothers-in-arms, all the way to the very end." Shining and the guards all nodded their heads in agreement of that statement and Luna smiled upon that. Afterwards I got up and went towards to where my 'twin' was, "Now then... let’s go over and say hello to 1st Lieutenant Axel Tyiro." I said and we all walked over to where he was, and if that prick ain't up until then, I'll wake him up for them.
It wasn't a long walk of course, it only took us a moment when we arrived, and as soon as we got there, there was yet another Alicorn, possibly the same size as Luna is, only this one is a light pink, with a purple, pink, golden mane and tail, possibly the same colored eyes as Celestia only a bit darker than hers, her marking was a light blue diamond-shape heart with two golden laces below it, and she was right next to Axel, trying to wake the lazy jackass up, but to no avail.
There were also a group of guards beside her as well. Only these guards were completely different from Shining and that: These guards wore a very dark bluish armor instead of gold, their coats were grey, eyes were like yellow cat-like eyes, and their wings were bat-like wings, hell even their tails too.
I looked at the two sisters and ask, "Hey question, who are those guys? They look like guards but they’re different, why's that?"
"I can answer that." Luna said, "They are known as the Lunar guards. My very own bodyguards. Tia's ones are called the Solace guards. I'm certain you can figure out the rest."
"Hmm..... The Solace guards patrol during the day, while the Lunar guards patrol during the night, right?"
"That's correct." Luna answer. "You catch on pretty quickly don't you." I nodded as I looked back at the pink Alicorn
"OK, another question, who's that Alicorn, is she a princess as well." I ask but Twilight answered.
"Yes she is, her name is Cadance. She's the 'Princess of Love', she use to be my foalsitter." She looked towards her old babysi--- I mean 'foalsitter', I should say, "And now she is my sister-in-law."
"Wait WHAT!? She, the Princess of... Love... And your old... foalsitter, is now your sister-in-law!?" She smiled and nodded her head.
"Yeah, and guess who was it she married?" No way, her brother, Captain of the royal guards, was the one who married her.
"Jesus, your big bro, was the one who married her?"
"Yep, he sure did. Oh and plus, she's also the niece of the princesses."
My god...... the surprises just never cease do they? Regardless I looked over to the Princess Cadance, still trying wake Axel up. "Oh... that dumb-fucking asshole." I groaned and went over there with the others following me.
Princess Cadance and the Lunar guards saw me and the others coming over and Twilight ran over to her, the same with the princess. I look over at Shining with puzzled face. "What's up with those two, almost as if they never saw each other for a long time?"
Shining chuckled a little and said, "Oh they have this little dance they do when they meet up, they did it back when Twilight was just a little filly, just watch." I nodded and did what he told me. I looked back at the girls and... Oh god... they were performing that little 'Dance' of theirs: It first starts with them hopping on the spot a few times, next they ducked down and did a peek-a-boo kind of thing, then they sat up on their haunches and clapped their hooves together three times, lastly they stood up and shook their rumps in the air, and here are the lyrics that goes along with this. "Sunshine sunshine, ladybug awake, clap your hooves and do a little shake!"
After that I was well, dazed by their little cute performance, in fact it was so cute, that I think I felt a little blush coming around, luckily I had a mask covering half of my face so no one could see. Shining look at me and asked. "Well Fenix, what do ya think, huh?" It took me a few moments to collect my thoughts and replied.
"That's... Uh... pretty cute..." Yeah, I was left speechless I'll tell you that. Shining was laughing while his wife and sister came over to us.
Twilight came over to me, "Fenix, this is Cadance. And Cadance, this is 1st Lieutenant Fenix Ravcore. Ooh, and guess what, HE'S A HUMAN!!! ISN'T THAT GREAT, SOMETHING THAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE IN FICTION IS ACTUALLY STANDING HERE, THIS IS AMAZING, EEEEEEEE!!!!!!!" Jesus FUCK woman, calm the FUCK down, honestly... and now she's jumping all around me again and this time squealing............ Just. Fucking. Great.
But that was all soon stopped by Axel groaning and muttering out loud. I went pass Twilight and Cadance to get to that bastard and wake him up, but not before I dropped my bag in front of them and said without looking at them, "Wait here, would ya. I'll call you over." I then turn to face Luna. "Luna, could you come with me please?" She beamed a big smile at those words.
"Sure!" I nodded and we both walked over to him."Just one question Fenix: Why me?" She asks.
"Because..." I started, "You were the one who saw him first. Tell me, did you see anything else that came with him as well?" She seems to know what I was asking.
"Yes, the very same weapons you have... Except for the sword."
"Figure he gets the scythe, he always did like playing Death." She looked at me.
"How did you---"
"We are like brothers, remember? We know ourselves and each other more better than anyone." I said as she completely forgotten we knew each other and blushed in embarrassment.
"Oh... Heh, right."
"Anyway..." We stop in front of Axel and he look exactly like Luna described, the only difference is he's wearing a black T-shirt with a dragon holding a big massive sword with both of its forelegs, while standing on it hindlegs, just letting you know.
"Luna, see if you can wake him up. I'll go get his things."
"OK." She nodded as I went to collect his weapons, which were found about 5 meters on his left.
As I expected, the scythe, or should I say two scythes, are off of 'Darksiders II: Death Lives'. I grabbed those two and the guns he would mostly want: a Lancer, Torque Bow, Mulcher, Frag grenades and two Boltok pistols. One thing did surprise me; there was no 'Hammer of Dawn'. He didn't have it, nor did I........ Strange. Almost as if whoever or whatever brought us here doesn't want any of us using it. Though I agree with its decision, if we use it, we're pretty much scaring the whole place with it and that's something I don't wanna do.
Shaking my head of the thought, I picked up the selected weapons, went back and founded that Luna was also having a hard time of waking him up... Jeez it's mostly the opposite: I'm the heavy sleeper and you'll have a tough time of waking me up.
Regardless I walked over to her and dropped the weapons to the side, "Any luck?" I ask as I kneel down.
"Afraid not, he still won't wake up."
"Figures." I sighed as I got up, "Well... There's only one thing to do, but it's gonna hurt him... a lot." She looked at me with a confusing face, as to what I meant by that. I got up and walked to Axel's left side, pulled back my right leg and thrusted it into his side. In short: I kicked him up.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!" He shouted out loud that it brought the others here in a quick flash... OOWWW!!! The fuck!?
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR FENIX!!?" Luna scolded at me, not to mention she hit me behind the head! While Axel got up and said the same thing.
"Yeah, what the girl said.... Just what the hell was that all about man?" He wheezed a bit, his voice wasn't all rough, deep and heavy like mine. His was a little lighter than mine. He was oblivious to Luna's presence and everyone else as he was just looking at me.
"First of all: that kick was for all the countless time you woke me up like that." He knew what I was talking about as everypony else was standing right behind him, were wondering what he did to make me hurt him. "And second..." I pointed out towards the ponies. "Look behind you."
"Why?" He asked and as if on cue.
"Because Axel, we're standing right behind you." Twilight answers for him and to get his attention and when he looks back, well you know how that plays out.
"Yeah, that's why." Well, at least he didn't scream like a little girl.
After some explaining, introduction and all that. Axel calmed down and decided to show his dog-tag to them. Here's what it says
Name: Axel Tyiro.
Rank: 1st Lieutenant.
Squad: Alpha.
Class: Demolition Expert.
"OK, now that introductions are out of the way..." Twilight said as she looked at me. "Fenix, you did asked us on what a cutie mark is, right?" I nodded and she continued, "Well, a cutie mark displays a pony's special talent, or something he or she enjoys doing. But they have to find it on their own and when they do, it appears on their flank."
She then looked at her cutie mark and explained hers and her friends. Twilight's one was all about mastering magic, Rarity's one was finding gemstones, Applejack's one is harvesting apples, Fluttershy one is caring for animal and Pinkie Pies one is throwing a party.
After that we heard this loud 'bang', "What was that? Sounded like a jet-fighter going supersonic!" Axel asks.
"Oh, I think that was Rainbow Dash." Pinkie Pie answered.
"And who is this 'Rainbow Dash'? I don't think you girls told us about her."
"Oops, sorry that slipped our minds." Twilight Blushed, "Rainbow Dash is a cyan blue Pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail. We sent her back to Ponyville with the Wonderbolts and a group of guards so they can evacuate the town... when all... four of you were... um." She shifted her gaze side-to-side, trying to find the right words, but to me it didn't really matter...
"When we were all falling from the sky. Yeah we get it." I finished off her sentence as the others were gazing towards the night sky. Probably trying to find Rainbow Dash, but it didn't take long to spot that Pegasus... for she was heading right towards us... Fast. I asked, "Isn't she gonna slow down any time soon?"
"What in tarnation is that girl doing!?" Applejack exclaimed, she too wondering why ain't slowing down.
Twilight spoke, "She isn't slowing down... She charging at---" She paused for a couple of seconds then turned towards me and Axel, "She is charging at you two!"
WHAT!!? She going to ram us both!? "But why!? What did we do!?" Axel said as we both got ready to dodge.
"I-I don't know?" Twilight and everyone else were just as surprise and confused as we are, but before any of them could do anything...
"WATCH OUT, THEY'RE RIGHT BEHIND YOU ALL!!!" Wait she thinks we're a threat!? But why would she---
"Fenix MOVE!!!" Axel shouted me out of my thinking and I dashed over to the side, just in time too... Damn she's fast. She missed and flied back up before coming back for another dive at us.
"HEY, HOLD STILL!!!" She shouted as she missed again.
This kept going for few minutes before the princesses came in front us and stopped Rainbow Dash, "Rainbow Dash, you are to stop your assault on these two young men immediately! They mean us no harm!" Celestia spoke up.
"Huh? What do you mean they mean us no harm?" Rainbow Dash asked.
Princess Celestia looked behind her at us than turn back, "They are humans Rainbow Dash, and you were about to knock their heads off."
"They're what?"
"Humans Rainbow Dash, humans!" Twilight said in annoyance, "Grrr... Weren't you listening to me when I was reading it to you!?" There IS a book about us then. But I wonder who wrote it though? That would be interesting.
"Oh yeah, that... Uh... I stop listening after the part about the knights and all that and sort of fell asleep most of it." Twilight groan at that and facepalmmed herself, or is it facehoofed in their terms? Ah I don't know... Maybe?
"So... If you guys are human. Where are all your armor and that other stuff? I mean all I see is the weapons, but no armor to protect you two from danger." Well this should be interesting...
"Well Axel, looks like we got a lot of explaining to do, huh?"
"Yeah Fenix, a LOT of explaining." Axel said and shook his head, "Knowing you, you won't even say a word and I have to do all the talking."
"Do we EVER explain anything to anyone?"
"Point taken." As we were talking among ourselves, Rainbow Dash was getting annoyed.
"Hey! Aren't you two gonna tell me anything or not!?" She shouted.
"HEY!!!" I shot back at her and gave her the death glare, "WILL YOU JUST SHUT THE HELL UP, WE WERE GETTING TO THAT!!!" She never said a word; hell I don't think anyone said a thing. The whole place was deadly silences, not even the princesses were saying anything at all. I calmed myself down and talked normal to them. "You can all breathe now."
And so they did, especially that rainbow brash Pegasus, I bet she thought that I was gonna kill her.
"Man, and I thought you were gonna kill me back there." And I fucking called that one!
I turn to Axel and he nodded his head, "Yeah, I know. I'll do all the talking and explaining." We turn towards the rest as we signal Celestia and the other two to join the others, "Alright, now pay attention, because I'm only gonna say this once." He then turn to face Rainbow Dash, "That means you too Rainbow Dash! If I ever find out you slept through the whole goddamn thing, I will have Fenix kick your arse into next week! Are we clear on that!?"
She went wide eye at that, fear struck her like lightening; she really didn't like the idea of having me booting her ass into next week. Pfft might kick her into next year or so....... Oh yeah, if you're wondering where we're from, it's New Zealand. Don't like it, tough luck.
Eventually she replied, "Y-y-yeah sure, I-I w-w-won't fall a-asleep.”... Damn it and I wanted to do that.
"OK now..."
---After some LONG time of explaining the whole fucking shit to them and how things have changed... Blah, blah, blah...---
"Wow... Just wow. I don't know what to think." Rainbow Dash, the princesses, their guards, the girls, everypony around us all stood there with wide eyes. Completely speechless at how much humanity has advance throughout the ages of its time...
And if you're thinking we told them EVERYTHING that has happen, then you're a fucking idiot. No, we didn't tell them about the wars and shit, though they wanted to know a little more about the weapons, but we said no.
"Aww... Why not?" Twilight started whining, oh how I hate it when they start whining.
"Because we said so, now putting that aside. Rainbow Dash?" I called out her, ignoring Twilight's complaining.
"Yeah, what's up?" She asks.
"Rainbow, did you get a look at the other two humans before coming back here?"
"Oh yeah, I did."
"Alright, we want you to tell us everything you saw."
"OK, let's see..." She was in deep thought, trying to remember the two humans down at Ponyville. "Right, one was a male, kinda like your size, skin is a light tan, gray shirt, blue pants, boots, his hair was short, the sides are cut, the top was spiky and the back I think too, plus he got this thin, but long hair growing in one straight line too. Oh and it's blonde. As for the other, I think it was a female, her body is slim, skin is brown, wears a white shirt and blue pants, shoes, and long dark brown hair."
Me and Axel look to each other with the same expression on our faces, "This can't be possible..."
"Can it really be them?"
"Hey, what in the hay are you two talking about!?" Applejack said.
"Let's just say we might know those two, but it'll have to wait, until then let's just get some sleep." One of them yawned and all nodded their heads.
"I agree, I'll be raising the sun up in a few hours." Well I guess that settles it--- Wait what?
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Back up... Are you saying that YOU can actually raise the sun at will?" Axel asked. I agreed with him, it just doesn't seem possible.
"Of course she can, she's the princess of the sun! And Luna is the princess of the moon!" Twilight said, "Don't you humans have someone raising and lowering your sun and moon."
"No, our planet orbits around the two. No one moves them." They stared at us after that for... who knows how long.
Soon the silence broke, "So... If no one controls the sun and moon, who controls the weather?" Fluttershy spoke up, for the first time since we got here, and what did she mean by that.
"Uh... No one, we just monitor it, not control it." Axel answered.
"You guys mean that... The clouds move by themselves."
"OK, what's up with you ponies?" They looked at each other then back at us.
Rainbow Dash spoke, "Well it's just that here in Equestria, that we Pegasi can move the clouds. We're the ones that patrol the weather; here I'll even prove it to you." She shot up to the night sky and grabbed... One of the... Cloud and came back with it..... How the fucking hell? "See? What did I tell ya." She said with a smirk, while lying on it like it was her bed.
"Uh, yeah... Just how the---" Before I could finish, Celestia cut in.
"How about we save the questions for tomorrow morning. But first," She turn towards her little sister, "Luna, if you will?" Luna nodded at her older sister request... Whatever that is.
We soon found that her horn was glowing, but why? Celestia caught our attention, "You two may want to look up."
"Why?" Axel asks, as I did what she said and found out why and got Axel.
"Uh... Axel."
"What?"
"You may want to look up." And so he did and stared in awe.
"Is she..."
"Yes Axel, she is." We just couldn't believe it. Luna is actually moving the moon, right before our very own eyes. Guess Twilight's right: Alicorns are the most powerful beings on this planet of theirs.
After that she stopped, "Now that that's out of the way, why don't we all get some sleep." A couple of us yawned and nodded in agreement. The rest waited as me and Axel grabbed our gear and follow behind, while the guards flanked us all on both sides.
As we reach the top and out of the craters, there was someone waiting, and it just so happen to be a little purple dragon, with green fins, eyes and underbelly. And I shit you not about him; at least, I think it's a him.
"Twilight, oh there you guys are." Yep, it's a male. He ran up to Twilight while saying, "Man I was worried sick about you. What happen anyway, I sorta got knock out by that whole light sho---" He stopped and looked behind the group towards me and my brother, "Uh... Twilight, who are those two over there? I don't remember seeing them around here."
Twilight giggled and 'Spike' was left in confusion, "Spike, do you remember that book about a certain bipedal race that's suppose to be a myth?"
He nodded, "Yeah, I remember, the humans."
"Well that's just what they are Spike." His eyes darted at us first, then Twilight and back.
"Um... Are you sure they're humans?"
Twilight was a little annoyed with his question, "Yes Spike, they are."
"But, where's their armor and all that other stuff?" He asked, "I mean, that guy on the right has a really big sword, but what about him?" He pointed out to Axel. As if on cue, he pulled out his twin scythes and shows them to him. "Oh... Heh heh, n-nice touch." He said nervously. Axel said nothing and retreated them back to his hips.
"Look Spike," Twilight spoke, "It's pretty late, why don't we get some sleep, we'll explain everything tomorrow."
He yawned, "Yeah Twilight, sleep sounds good." With that, she picked him up with her magic and placed him on her back and we all headed to the castle, which is a marble white structure, the thing was huge as hell!
We approached the main doors to the castle and enter, the inside was big as well, kinda reminds me the old castles back home in Europe, but this one is more... beautiful, in a way of speaking. I'm not all that big on castles and shit, so just bear with me, but that doesn't mean I hate it. The only thing I like about castles is its history: how it began and how it ended, that's all. This one however, won't be ending any time soon, and that's just how I want it as long as the royal bloodline continues... That and I hope there aren't any jackasses around this place, because we all know what will happen: the Government's fucked up and the chain of command. Hell, society would be pretty fucked up too.
Anyway, the girls were led to their guest rooms by the guards, while the princesses personally led us to our rooms. It was some walk and Axel asked me a question, "Bro, do you think this is all a dream?" In whisper.
"No, if it were, you wouldn't have felt my kick." I answer.
"Oh yeah, but do you think that they, too, might be here?"
"It’s just a possibility, Axel. But let's just hope it is them."
As we continued down the hall, we stop at the first room and Celestia turn to look back at us, "Fenix, this room is yours for the time being. Axel, you will follow Luna, she will show you yours."
"Yes ma'am." He said with a mocking salute and then turn to follow her little sister, but before he left, "Hey Fenix." I looked at him, "Take the mask off, would ya?" And so I did. There wasn't any reason for me to wear the mask, I still don't know how it came into my possession, "There, better."
"So this is what you look like." Celestia spoke.
"Wow, you two really DO look like twins!" Luna exclaimed.
"Yeah, we're just that epic." We all share a laugh at that.
"Alright you two, you better get going now." Celestia said and they continued down the hall until they were out of sight, "Fenix, I would like to talk to you, if that's alright?" I nodded as we enter the room, nothing special about it, just a normal bedroom with a queen-size bed in it... Well if you count the bathroom, of course.
I closed the door behind us and locked it so this conversation would be kept private, I asked,"What is it you want to talk about?"
She sat down on a chair and said, "Fenix, I want you to be honest with me when I ask you a question, Okay?" Honest? What is it she wants me to be honest about? I thought for a moment on what she meant by that, until the answer came to me, "It's about regarding the weapons that you and Axel have."
So that's why, "OK, but promise me you won't share this information with anyone, except your sister. Understood?" She nodded, "OK, so you're probably wondering what these ones can do."
"Yes."
"Well, to tell you the truth... They're not suppose to be real."
"Wha... What do you mean they're not suppose to be real!?" Well this should be interesting.
"To put simply, all of them are just off a couple of video games."
"Video... Games?"
"Long story, anyway, the point is whoever, or whatever brought us here also gave us these. Just pray that we don't have to use them."
"I sure hope so; I wouldn't want to see you using any of them." She said as she was looking over to the far side of the room, towards where I put my gear, "But I can't help but feel something bad is about to happen."
"Aye, but I hope that were both wrong." She nodded at that. "Anyway, how about we talk later tomorrow."
"Alright then, I'll make sure someone come around and get you two." I nodded as she got and headed towards door and unlocked door and went out, but before she did, she popped her head back in and said, "Goodnight Fenix."
I nodded and replied, "Goodnight, Princess of the Sun." She smiled and was about to leave when all of a sudden my pant, or something in my pant’s pockets, was vibrating, then it started to play music.... Wait a minute....
"Fenix, what is that sound?" Celestia asked as she came back in.
"My S3 Galaxy, but I don't remember having it on me," She looked at me of what that meant, "It's a cellphone that humans use to contact others from a distance, but that only works if there’s a connection and knowing you ponies, you don't have that kind of technology."
"True, but how is it still working?"
"I seriously don't know." I reached into my right pocket and pulled it out, enter the pin code to unlock it and found out that it was,"...Axel?"
"Could it be?"
"One way to find out." I answer it on video call so I can see if it's really him or not.
"Hey it actually worked! What's up man!?" Holy shit, it really actually works!
"Holy Jesus! How is this even all...? Possible!?" I asked and he just gave a shrug.
"Beats me, but hey it works! Anyway, I called to tell you to watch out for Luna."
"Luna? Why is that Axel, is something wrong?"
"Princess? No, no everything's fine. It's just that---"
"Axel, what did you do? You didn't say anything offensives to her, did you!?" I asked, he would sometimes say something offensive, even though he didn't really mean it, or even meant to say it like that, or WORSE, he was being 'sarcastic'. I swear, if he ever made her cry, he's going to be the one who gets his ass kick into next week.... Y'know what, FUCK next week, I rather kick his ass into another alternative-fucking-universe! Yeah, that'll work nicely.
Axel sighed, "No, no. It's more of 'She isn't taking me seriously'." Me and Celestia raised a brow, he continued, "OK look, Celestia, Luna is the Princess of the Night, right?" She nodded, "Fenix, you know that us both like the night, more than the day, no offense Celestia."
"None taken." She said with a smile.
"OK, that's true; we both do like the night. But I don't---" That's when it hit me, "Are you saying that she..."
"Yeah, she didn't believe me when I said love the night. Hell I even told her about you too."
I looked to Celestia and asked. "Is Luna a little, or really sensitive about that subject?" She thought about it for a moment, this is probably the first time ever hearing something like this happening.
"No, she isn't. I don't know what has gotten in to her, this is the first time I have ever heard of her doing that."
"Well that's just the beginning of it." We looked back at Axel as to what he meant by that. "I was a little hurt by her not accepting my phrase about me and you, so I told her what I wanted to do on a night."
"Let me guess: You wanna take the girl of your life, out for a walk at night, with a picnic basket with ya, go to the top of a hill, set up things, you and her lie down next to each other, looking up towards the night sky with a full moon. Then at that moment, you look into each other’s eyes and slowly but surely your lips lock in a passionate kiss." Yep... That's one of the many things he wants to do and I gotta say: That's a pretty damn good one too. What's next, he wants to get married at night as well...... Most likely, yeah.
"Yeah, that and a lot of other things too." He said, "But anyway, I told her that and she turn around to face me for a few seconds and lunged herself at me and kissed me, right on the lips." OK... That I wasn't expecting, neither did Celestia. I mean, how could you even respond to that, knowing that someone from royalty kissed a soldier from another planet. "Yeah, I know, speechless."
"O-OK... Um, after she 'kissed' you, where did she go?" Celestia ask.
"Like I said before, watch out for her. She's probably heading over to you." After saying that, there was a bright flash of light that appeared in front us and out pops Luna, "Told ya."
Luna looked at me in the eyes for the longest moment... And it was getting awkward by the second. I was going to say something to break the silence when Luna lunged herself at me into a hug and tried to kiss me... Tried, but no, I wouldn't allow it and placed my over her muzzle just in time.
"Luna, no... You can't kiss me." She looked at me when I removed my hand.
"Can't... B-b-b-but why!? I don't understand, why can't I kiss you!?" She asked. Her voice filled with rage and anger when she pulled away from me, "Was everything that Axel told me about you loving the night a lie!?"
"No. What he says is true."
"Then why!?"
"Because you just kissed Axel." She froze when I said that, "I don't mind you kissing him, but you can't kiss me the same way you did to him." She understood where I was going with this, "Hugs I can accept Luna. But I cannot accept a kiss from you."
"Oh, I see now." She said, "But... c-could you accept a kiss on the cheek?"
I shrugged, "Sure." She smiled and pecks me on the cheek. "Better?"
She nodded, "Yes, thank you." She then left the room with a smile on her face.
Celestia looked at me and I looked at her, "You think..." She said.
"I know." I answer and looked at my phone, "Isn't that right, Axel."
"Hmm... Most likely." Just as we thought, "But hey, you can trust me with her."
Celestia answer him, "OK, I trust you." What?
"Really?" We both said in unison, finding it hard to believe.
She smiled, "Yes, I'm sure of it."
Axel replied, "Thanks princess, I promise I won't do anything stupid." He said, “But before I forget, I got one question: If something was to stab you, will you still live, or will you die from that?” OK where is he going with this?
“No. Even though our race can live forever, we can still die.” What...? So her kind only has eternal youth and can still get killed!? Man that has gotta suck, it only makes them a Demigod, “But it’s better than not dying at all. If you ask me, one of them will take advantage of it and Equestria will look a lot more different and not in a good way.” She said to us and we agreed with her on that, if they ever were truly immortal, things wouldn't be looking the same as they are right now.
Axel nodded, “True. Well I think it’s time for us to go to sleep, goodnight, I’ll see you all in the morning and thanks again.” He waved and hanged up to go to bed.
I looked up at Celestia, "Are you sure about this? He can be a bit of a handful." I ask and she smiled at me.
"I'm sure of it." I nodded in agreement with her decision, "Well then Fenix, I'll leave you to rest for tomorrow, Goodnight Fenix." I nodded to her as she left.
I took off my boots, singlet and gloves and hopped into bed, it felt very comfortable as I drifted off to sleep. Until the morning sun comes around.
Oh wait, they'll be waking us up before then. Sorry my bad, well goodnight.
