Previous ChapterNext Chapter“So you’re the one accusing me of trying to kill you.” Hank says looking into Celestia’s eyes.
“No I am not, but a close friend told me you wanted to end my life?” Celestia says seriously. Hank looks a Celestia.
“I have said NO such thing!” Hank raises his voice and puts one foot in. The white ponies in armor point their spears at Hank. He looks around at the ponies, and backs down.
“There is no need for anger, creature. I just wanted to see what you were, and why you are here.” Celestia explains, and Hank looks back at her.
“I was brought to this land by someone named Discord.” Hank says. Celestia raises a brow.
“Discord brought you here? Why?” Celestia asks puzzled.
“He wanted me to kill six ponies ponies here, and I would have done it if the first one didn’t convince me otherwise.” Hank tells the princess.
“And who were these ponies?” Celestia asks Hank, wanting to know why Discord would bring a weird animal to kill, probably some bad ponies.
“Well the one up top was Tw-” Hank is interrupted by a flash on his left side, only to reveal Discord.
“Celestia! That creature is here to kill you!” Discord yells out. Celestia looks at Discord, then at Hank, who is showing an angry expression on his face.
“You.” Hank mutters to himself. He walks to Discord. The white ponies threaten Hank by pointing their spears at him, but he keeps going. Celestia gets up from her seat and watches Hank. The white guards then form an ‘X’ shape with their spears in front of Hank.
“You deceived me, and now you tell the princess I’m trying to kill her!?” Hank yells as he is stopped the spears.
“Please don’t hurt me!” Discord yells out, as he crouches down throwing his arms around his head.
“Back away from the Draconequus!” the princess screams at Hank. Hank looks at Celestia.
“This thing is lying to you! Can’t you see!?” Hank tells Celestia. She looks at Discord, who has his hands over his face. Then she looks at Hank scowling.
“All I see is you threatening one of my subjects. Guards!” Celestia yells out.
“No!” Hank yells as the guards close in. “You have it all wrong! That fucker is lying!” Celestia pays no attention to him. Hank sees he has no choice, but to hurt the ponies. As the armored ponies get closer, Hank looks around for possible exits. The door in which he came in, and a bunch a windows with designs on them.
One of the guards tries to grab Hank, but fails as Hank swiftly counters the attack and pins the pony on the ground. The other guards around Hank jump in. Hank runs towards the direction of where the guard he took down was. Hank saw the bag containing his weapons, and runs in that direction. The guards surround the bag, because they were afraid that if he got his weapons, he could kill the princess right there.
The spears of the guards were pointing at Hank, but he kept running towards them. He jumps over then and gets his bag without a sweat.
He runs towards his only exit now, the window. Hank is unsure how far down the floor is, but he figured it couldn’t be too hard considering he walked a few stairs. He shut his eyes to protect them from the glass, and jumped out. He landed, but the impact caused him to fall. The guards looked down from the window.
Hank got up, his legs a little weak. He looked around for the bag, and found it a couple meters away. He looked at his wrist, they were chafed from the cuffs. Hank walked over to the bag and opened it. Sure enough, his Beretta and knife were both there. He zipped the bag back up and threw it around his shoulder. He looked up at the window, and the guards were gone. He ran away from the area, and tried to find any sign of escape.
After running to what seemed like a half hour, Hank spots a train station. This must be the train station he was brought in from. He hides behind a bench, waiting for the right moment to sneak in. As soon as he saw the right moment, he jumped into the nearest train car. He sat down on a seat next to some rose-colored pony. The brown pony scooted away from him. Hank looked down at the cowering pony.
“Don’t worry, I don’t bite.” Hank assures her. The pony calms down a bit. “I only kill.” The rest of the trip was extremely frightening for the pony as it was humourous for Hank.
The train stops, and Hank gets out. He looks around for any familiar signs to the way back to the library. He starts walking forward, still holding the bag. He looks around the town, and notices that the ponies are backing away in fear. He ignores the stares as he continues.
After an hour of aimless walking, and ponies running away when he tried to ask for help, he finally finds what he was looking for. He walked up to the door and knocked. He looked around and knocks again. There is no answer. He looks around and backs away from the door. He puts the bag on the ground, and zips it open. He pulls the Beretta and knife out, and puts them in his coat. The door suddenly opens, and Hank looks in to find the small purple reptile.
“Is Twilight here? I need to speak with her." Hank asks Spike.
"No. She left with you to see Pinkie Pie about a couple hours ago. Don't you remember?" Spike explains to him, raising a brow. Hank thinks for a while. Twilight hasn't returned from this 'Pinkie Pie's place, so he should try looking for her there.
"Where does Pinkie Pie live?" Hank asks Spike.
"SugarCube Corner. Straight that way." Spike says pointing down the road. Hank is about to walk off, until the little lizard started speaking.
"Would you like to wait here for her?" Spike suggests. Hank thinks for a while. It might be best for Hank not to wander around the town, considering they might be looking for him.
Hank walks in the house. Once inside, he sits down on the nearest chair. Spike goes upstairs, leaving Hank downstairs. After a while, there was a knock.
"I'll get it!" Spike yells, and runs down the stairs towards the door. Spike opens the door and a rainbow maine pony is standing there.
"Heya Spike! Where Twi? I haven't seen her all day." The blue pony says. Hank looks over and sees the pony. As well as vice versa.
"Spike watch out!" The blue pony says, and darts over to Hank. Hank didn't expect it so he had no counters at the time. The blue pony pins him down, and scowls at him.
"I got you! You won't be killing the princess anymore!" The blue pony shouts down at Hank. Hank replies with an angry expression.
"I am not trying to kill anyone!" Hank scream at her, trying to break free. The blue pony's grip was on tight.
"Rainbow Dash! Let him go!" A familiar voice comes from the door. Both the blue pony and Hank look over to the door. Twilight stands there, with Pinkie at her side.
"No! He wants to kill Celestia!" The assumed 'Rainbow Dash' says, glaring daggers down at Hank. Twilight looks wide eyed at him.
"Is- Is this true David?" Twilight asks Hank, looking worried.
"You think that if I wanted to kill Celestia, I would've done it already?" Hank seriously says to Twilight.
"Maybe she got away!" Rainbow tells Hank. He looks at her.
"Get off me." Hank says with a stern look. Rainbow stares him down.
"Make me." She says, tightening her grip. Hank puts his knees under the pony, and pushes her off to the side. Before she can get up, he wraps the chain from his cuffs on her neck.
"Hey! Let me go!" Rainbow yells at Hank, struggling to break free.
"Make me!" Hank says to the fidgeting pony beneath him.
"If you don't get off me, I will-"
"Rainbow Dash, stop talking! You clearly don't know what this creature is capable of doing!" Twilight sternly tells Rainbow. Rainbow thinks for a moment.
"No! If this creature wants to hurt Celestia, it'll have to go through me!" Rainbow points out.
"I already told you. I'm not trying to hurt anyone!" Hank yells at Rainbow.
Suddenly, the sound of angry screaming comes from the outside. Hank and Rainbow look over to Twilight, who peeks out the door. Hank doesn't let go of Rainbow, and Twilight looks back at Hank with worried eyes.
"We want the murderer!" a cry from the outside is heard.
"We want justice!"
"We want the creature!"
Hank realizes the angry mob outside wants him.
"David, you need to leave." Twilight tells Hank, while Rainbow is still below him. He lets go of Rainbow, and checks to make sure all his weapons are in place. Twilight uses her magical aurora to uncuff Hank. He rubs his wrists in relief. Rainbow gets up, and gets in a defensive position protecting Twilight.
"Stop helping him, can't you see he's bad!" Rainbow scolds Twilight. Twilight ignores her outburst.
"Try going to where you came from. Discord probably brought you here in a secluded place where no pony can see you." Twilight suggests. Hank nods and heads out through the upstairs window, so that no one would see him. He jumps out.
Hank lands and runs straight for the forest. He knows where it is now since he came from there twice. As he runs he looks back to see the crowd of mad ponies enter Twilight's house.
After a while of running he meets the forest and enters. Hank looks at the sky. It was getting dark, and the pain in his stomach returned. The pain was more fierce then anytime before. If Hank was going to find a solution to his problem, then he is going to need his strength.
Hank was deep in the forest, and it was already dark. He decided it would be best to atleast try to get some sleep, and search for sustanance tomorrow. He walk around and spotted a small cave. He walked in, took his hat off, and placed his weapons in reach next to him. Tomorrow he would find food no matter what, because he cannot go any longer without it. He sat down, and nodded off to sleep.
