Trumpets

Chapter 12

   Alright, got paper! Leggo!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   I was at a huge disadvantage. Not only was he big, he was strong and had a lot more agility then me. A completely unfair fight, but I know I had 2 powerful princesses on my side. Granted, they were scared as fuck, but I have hope for them to do something. Probably get those elements of harmony or some shit.

   Then I realized I was still a pony.

   I am completely fucked. I didn't show my fear as I charged him. He easily dodged me. "Headstrong, I see. Can't fight well in the body, can you?" he mocked.

   We were locked in a stare down now. I saw the princesses doing something out of the corner of my eye. 'Hurry up!'

   I let him charge me this time. Even though e was fast, I dodged him and put a hoof down on his head, making him fall to the floor. I knew better then I pin him, as he is waaaaaay stronger then me. "Impressive. You learn quickly."

   "I wouldn't say that. Didn't you just call me headstrong?"

   He charged again, this time swerving as he ran. I braced for impact but it never came. "Ah, a cowered, a swell," he said from behind me. His lions paw came down on me and I was slammed to the ground. "That makes it fun!

   I quickly get up. I'm not gonna run, but I know I'm not gonna win. What the fuck do I do?

   I walk close to him, but say out of arms reach. "Ah, you want hand to hand combat?" he asked.

   "Hell no! I barely know how to use these things!"

   He laughed. 'My chance!' As he was laughing and not paying attention, I lunged at him and grabbed his neck. In one swift motion, I pulled it to the grounded with all my might. His head hit the ground with the floor cracking. I stood over him, and he just started to laugh more. "You think that would hurt me?" he said, getting up and dusting himself off. "I must say, I am impressed by your raw strength. I would like a deal with you."

   'What?' "What is it?" I wasn't going to make a deal with this asshole, but it just buys me more time to seem interested.

   "A simple offer. Once I defeat these two," He pointed to the princesses who had grins on their faces. Shaky grins. "You will be my personal guard. I will give you power and all you desire."

   Eh, not too appealing. "Could you send me back home?" if he could, that'd be the deal maker.

   "I am sorry, but I don't think I could."

   "Sorry, but no deal. I rather be poor but a hero, then rich but a villain."

   He shook his head. "A shame. You really are powerful." he lunged and trapped me under him "I am truly sorry I have to kill you. My plans shall not be ruined by you, or anyone." He dragged a claw across my face. I felt little pain, probably because it was deep enough to fuck up my veins.

   "Probably gonna leave one hell of a scar, ain't it?" I say, non-chalantly.

   "Yes, it will. It will give you an identity, too. But, enough games. Time for my favorite part." His claw started its decent for my neck. I closed shut my eyes, and prayed.

   1 second.

   3 seconds.

   5 seconds.

   The claw never reached my neck. My eye slowly closed and I saw him in a rainbow colored beam. 'How the fuck do I not hear this?' I just stare at him until the bean stops, leaving behind a Discord trapped in stone.

   I look to see my saviors, and it's people (ponies) who I wouldn't suspect. It was Twilight and her annoying friends. "Guess I owe you guys one, eh?" I say, going towards them.

   I'll skip details. It was just thanks and you're welcomes and that's what friends are for and shit.

   "Do you have a sword?" I asked Celestia after that was over.

   "I do not, but the guard does," she pointed to a guard at the door who was probably there the whole time.

   "Where you fucking there the whole time?" I asked him, getting angry.

   "Uh, yes I was."

   "Why didn't you help? I could've died! You know what, never mind. Just give me the fucking sword."

   He did as he was told and I gripped the sword within my hooves. I clopped over to the living statue (well, I think he's alive under it) and raised it. "Too bad nobody will hold your hand on the day you die," I said as I swung down. The statue shattered, and I felt myself become... Stronger. It was weird. Probably just because it was my first kill. Hopefully my last, too. I don't want to become addicted to this shit.

   "Well, he's dead. So, how was your day, everyone? Exciting?" I asked the group.

   They weren't excepting that. "Uh, why are acting like nothing happened? You just killed the God of Chaos and saved the princesses! That's amazing!" Twilight said.

   "Yea, it was awesome!" Rainbow Dash added.

   A few more agrees we're made. "Yea, I suppose I did. Well, princesses. I wish my reward to be GETTING ME OUT OF THIS BODY."

   "O-oh. Alright. Luna, would you?" He horn glowed and all pain, even my chronic ankle pain, was gone. Celestia's horn glowed next and, before I knew it, I was a human again. I cracked my knuckles and stretched out.

   "Ah, I'm glad to have these babies back," I said, wiggling my fingers.

   My 'saviors' we're staring wide eyes at me.

   'And let the bombardment of questions begin...'
