- > The sun peeked through the throne room windows, the stained glass providing abstract light to flow forth and paint the ground.
- > The red rug; which ran along the course of the room only served to make you feel like a true queen.
- > One of the royal guards rushed forward, yelling something about the 'glory' of Equestria.
- > He was knocked unconscious by a single beam of magic.
- > You chuckle quietly to yourself, splaying out on the throne.
- > You are Queen Chrysalis.
- > And you have taken over Canterlot.
- > After that pest of a 'Princess' sent you and your hive packing; you came back. Much more prepared than before.
- > Cadance and her little boy toy didn't stand a chance this time.
- > "Let me down Chrysalis!" Twilight shouted.
- > And neither did the elements.
- > You let out a hearty laugh.
- > This was accompanied by one of your children bringing you a bottle of aged wine.
- > You scan the label; smiling softly to yourself
- "Yes, this will do tonight. Just go ahead and put it in MY room."
- > It was originally Celestia's.
- > Your child nodded; buzzing out of the throne room.
- > Twilight and her friends were suspended in the air; clinging to the grey goo decorating the ceiling.
- > "When ah get out of here!" Applejack shouted, struggling against her bonds.
- > You roll your eyes.
- > Their attitudes were already getting annoying.
- "Tell you what Miss Applejack, if you can break your bonds then you are more than welcome to make any threat you please."
- > You sneer.
- "Until then, be silent."
- > Applejack growled at you.
- > She was already trying.
- > Watching her writhing form was already putting you in hysterics.
- > You had done it.
- > You had finally won.
- > "Come on AJ! I know you can do it." Twilight shouted.
- > You had already made sure she wouldn't use any of the pretty magic; her horn was encased in your goo.
- > "Ah'm trying!"
- > You chuckle and lean back, clapping your hooves together.
- "Children! Please take a check on the REAL threats. I've got to put some sense into these mares."
- > Your children nodded silently.
- > As they left you crane your head to the mares above.
- > Most of them lay unconscious which was good for you because...
- > You didn't want to deal with all of them yapping at once.
- > With a yawn you step off of your throne.
- > You began to pace around the room, flashing the two mares a smile every once in awhile.
- > They just glared at you.
- "Really girls come on now. This was going to happen eventually. You can't ALWAYS win."
- > "Ah beg to differ..."
- > You 'hm' in response.
- > Shaking away her comment you give one of your children a pat on the head.
- "If you keep trying to talk like you can actually do something I'll make sure you end up like her brother."
- > Twilight flinched silently.
- > Just ever so slightly.
- > You had noticed.
- > And it bought a big shit-eating grin to your face.
- > "W-What did you do to my brother!?"
- > Ohhhh.
- > You could feel the emotion emitting from her, the heat of hatred and anger filling you up.
- > Not as much as love would but hey.
- > A meal was a meal.
- > You smile brightly.
- "You know, how about I show you?"
- > This would show this mare who was boss.
- > You stamp your hoof on the ground twice.
- > One of your children zipped over to you; kneeling before your godly presence.
- > It was such a good feeling...
- "Go ahead and drag them out please."
- > Your child nodded and zipped out of the throne room.
- > "Chrysalis if you hurt my brother I swear-"
- "Oh hush now. You literally can't do anything, and I doubt you have a knight in shining armor on their way here girls."
- > "Something like that..." Applejack muttered.
- > You squint at her; trying to understood what she meant.
- "What is that supposed to mean?"
- > "Nothing; say did ya' happen too meet a rowdy Minotaur on your way here?"
- > What was she getting at?
- > But now that she mentioned it...
- > 'When Changelings try to invade, show them you're not afraid!"
- "Yes... But he was all bark and no bite."
- > Actually that was a lie.
- > He had taken down three squads of your children easily.
- > Applejack smirked.
- > "You're lyin'..."
- "Queen Chrysalis does not need to lie. Especially when she had already won!"
- > Applejack blew some air out of her nose.
- > "Yeah. Cause' you totally didn't lie about being Cadance, or you know, that one lie..."
- "What lie?"
- > This one was royally pissing you off already.
- > "Hmmmm, ah just can't seem to remember..."
- > Applejack suddenly jolted; as if she had a stroke of remembrance.
- > "Oh yeah! Winning! That was the biggest lie of them all."
- > You were already seeing red; oblivious to the cowpony's smug face.
- "I'll..."
- > You let out a shriek; blasting the yellow mare with your magic.
- > "Applejack!" Twilight shouted.
- > Her hat floated to the ground, free from your bindings.
- > But she was not.
- > "What the-"
- > You trotted over to the hat resting on the ground.
- > And began to stomp on it repeatedly.
- > Both mares watched in stunned silence as you committed your act, laughing in manic glee.
- > They were powerless to stop you.
- > But one thing bothered you.
- > Where was the special girl?
- > The mindless zombie that was once Cadance should have been here by now; taunting Twilight with her controlled, green eyes.
- > But she wasn't...
- > You turn to the throne door, quirking an eyebrow.
- > Surely by now.
- > CRASH!
- > An unfamiliar voice caught your ears.
- > "Aggro, smash it."
- > The voice was deep and reverberated smoothly, even though there was nothing to enhance it in such a manner.
- > That was the voice of a leader if you ever heard one.
- > Shouts and squeals of your children were followed by the sounds of magical beams being fired off.
- > What looked like an out of control rave went off on the other side; lights of green and blue pulsing from under the door.
- > What the...
- > Suddenly a large roar sounded throughout the whole castle; rattling everything in a nearby radius.
- > A vase falling off of a nearby table caught your attention.
- > It was silent...
- > Too silent...
- > "You're gonna regret that..." Applejack grunted, nodding at her hat.
- > You lock the doors with your magic, backing towards your new throne.
- > You were going to retort against the cowpony but something smashed against the throne room doors.
- > They bent inwards, creaking under the weight of whatever it was.
- > Your children that stood in the room rushed to the door, pointing their horns at the growing threat.
- > There had to be at least forty guarding the door.
- > "Doc stand back." The muffled voice grunted.
- > "I think that is a very-"
- > ....
- > "I don't like the way you're staring. I'll just back away now..."
- > Another crash and the doors bulged inwards.
- > How?
- > Those doors held back you and your army of Changelings for a good five minutes.
- > Whatever was on the other side of that door was immensely strong.
- > With one last crash the doors flew inwards.
- > The love child of a mish-mash of predators barged in, panting like a mutt in a field of flowers.
- > It barreled past your children like nothing; knocking them into the air like they were bowling pins.
- > You could've swore you heard the strike effect somewhere...
- > It skidded to a stop, whirling around and thrashing its tail in joy.
- > The rest of your children in its vicinity were sent flying around like ragdolls.
- > What was once forty guarding the door was now half of that, most of them already backing away from another figure.
- > A large creature calmly stepped into the smashed doorway, its hands in its pockets absent-mindedly.
- > A rather handsome blue pony followed in after him.
- > The large creature stepped over the unconscious bodies of your children without a care.
- > The blue pony did so carefully, shooting them looks of contempt.
- > The cigar butt hanging out of the creatures mouth was on its last leg, the embers already dying.
- > With a large gasp the creature sucked down the rest of the cigar.
- > He pulled it from his mouth and flicked it on the floor, looking around the throne room.
- > He stopped on the ceiling.
- > "Hm, usually I would be thrilled to see you guys in this situation."
- > You are Anonymous.
- > And you're extremely tired.
- > Derpy and Scoots had kept you up for the past three nights, they had grown quite fond of the 'Daring Doo' movies.
- > And between Scoots school and Wonderbolt training and Derpys job, you guys only got to watch it at night.
- > There were quite a bit...
- > You just wanted to get this over with and get back home, do a couple of workouts, and sleep for the rest of the day.
- > You still didn't have a job.
- > You had gotten one as a cashier at the Golden Hayburger in Ponyville for awhile but...
- > Seeing Twilight eat like that turned you away from the place forever.
- > Something tackled your side.
- > But did nothing to move you.
- > A Changeling clung to your side; struggling to pull you down or get you to budge.
- > Cute.
- > You swat it off and fold your arms over your chest.
- > The rest of the Changelings stood around you.
- > They watched you carefully; awaiting your next move.
- > You did not care.
- > As far as you were concerned these guys had been hungry and desperate.
- > But they didn't seek help.
- > Instead they tried to take and take and take.
- > So you had thought about it on your way up here.
- > They would have one chance.
- > "I know you..." The queen started. "You're the human! Anon E. Moose."
- "Errr... That's not how it's pronounced."
- > "Irrelevant. What brings you here creature?"
- > "He's here to let me out so ah can kick your flank!" AJ shouted.
- "I doubt I'm going to do that."
- > "She stomped on mah hat!"
- > You frown.
- > AJ had gotten that hat from her parents.
- > If anything you should let her be free.
- > No...
- > She was upset and full of emotion right now.
- > Her judgement would be blinded by hatred.
- > The queen smiled, seeming to breath something in from the air.
- > You quirk an eyebrow.
- > "Ahhh yes... Your anger is so invigorating Applejack." She chuckled.
- > Though you could see why she was hated...
- > "Anon! Is my brother and Cadance okay!?" Twilight shouted.
- "I don't know..."
- > She seemed disheartened too hear that.
- > You furrow your brow.
- > It always bothered you that despite the way they treated you, you couldn't stand too see them upset.
- > Guess you just didn't hold grudges.
- "But, We'll find them."
- > She cheered up a little bit upon hearing this.
- > "Eugh, listen here human. Whatever you plan on doing is less than likely to succeed!"
- > You pocket your hands again.
- "I'm told that quite a bit..."
- > You look down at the panting creature next to you.
- > Aggro...
- > He had been a rather loyal companion despite the way you had acquired him.
- "Aggro, go play with the others."
- > He let out a roar before whipping around.
- > The Changelings began to fire off beams as he charged into them like a train.
- > Your eyes met Chrysalis.
- "You've got one chance to retreat. I-"
- > "Let me down!" AJ shouted.
- > The others began to stir, waking up one by one.
- > "What's going on?" Dash muttered.
- > "Oh! It's Nonny and OH! OH! OH! Girls, look he can walk on ceilings now! Waitaminute, I'm upside down! Silllly Pinkie~!"
- > "What is this stuff in my hair!"
- > Rarity was definitely awake.
- > "Come on Ahnon! You know you wanna let lil' ol' AJ here down!"
- > Uhg...
- > Awake for a couple of seconds and they were already grating your nerves.
- "No."
- > You step towards the Queen.
- "Find a way to get them down Doctor."
- > The Doctor rolled his eyes and plopped down.
- > "Fine, fine. But seriously, be careful. She's a hive leader. She's way more powerful than she looks."
- > You didn't doubt it.
- > But you did what you had to do.
- > So...
- "Waiting for an answer..."
- > "No."
- > You furrow your brow.
- "Why?"
- > This couldn't be simple.
- > "Because I'm not going to let some lug try and intimidate me, especially when I am this close to victory."
- > Hm...
- > "Now sit like an obedient little FOOD SOURCE!"
- > To punctuate her sentence she leaned forward, a beam of thick green light bursting from her horn and cutting through the air.
- > It was thick but not wide.
- > You bring one of your hands up, shielding the beam from connecting with your face.
- > The resistance was instantaneous.
- > The beam was powerful enough to nearly make you kiss your own knuckles, the beam matching your strength quite easily.
- > Despite the raw power of it the beam did not hurt nor burn.
- > It just felt like someone was pushing against your hand.
- > Was this it?
- > Was this what they were worried about?
- > This was nothing!
- > You plant your foot down.
- > Nothing compared to the things you've done.
- > You begin to trek through the beam, earning a surprised squeak from Chrysalis.
- > "Wha- Stop that!"
- > You were already closing the distance between the two of you.
- > Her beam was nothing compared to what you could do.
- > Chrysalis growled and intensified the beam.
- > Oh wow this was now a two hand job.
- > You snort sarcastically.
- > Bringing the other hand up you pushed against the force, looking something akin to a spartan hammering his shield forward.
- > "Y-You're not supposed to be able to do that!"
- > She seemed to be putting her all behind this.
- > It wasn't much.
- > You continued to make your way forward, about five feet from the throne now.
- > The Changelings were too busy with Aggro to be of any help.
- > Which was good.
- > They would just be even more annoyances.
- > "You... insignificant... little..."
- > Three feet.
- > "Welp!"
- > Two.
- > You push your hands forward, shutting the beam around her horn.
- > Chrysalis glowered up at you, the beams magic building around her horn.
- "Enough."
- > Pulling a hand away you keep the other clasped around her horn.
- > The green energy began to build up, wisps of energy escaping between your fingers.
- > Chrysalis's glower turned to a look of shock.
- > "You're impossible..."
- > You meet her eyes again.
- "Correct."
- > Her look of shock slowly turned to a malicious smile.
- > She began to chuckle smugly.
- > What?
- > A jolt of pain ran up your arm.
- > You snap your head to the arm still resting on her horn.
- > There was more to this.
- > You had been thick.
- > And cocky.
- > Green energy crept up your arm, taking hold of your shoulder.
- > You couldn't move your arm now.
- > With a grunt you struggle to pry it free.
- > What had she done?
- > "Do you really think that's all the power a queen of the hive holds human!?"
- > She let out a cynical laugh, tossing her head back.
- > "You're thicker than you look! A simple sleep spell out to do the tr-"
- > Your other fist connected with her face, sending a black blur crashing into the wall in front of you.
- > You grab your used-to-be paralyzed arm and wiggle your fingers.
- > Glaring as the unconscious figure slid to the ground you shake your head silently.
- > "Aww Ahnon why did ja' do that!? Ah was gonna hit her first."
- > You shrug.
- "I gave her a chance... how did you get caught anyway?"
- > "No idea." Dash started. "They must've got me while I was nappin'."
- > "Same..." AJ stated.
- > "I do remember falling asleep in the Castle's library."
- > Hm, so they got them at their most vulnerable moment.
- > Oh well.
- > It was a good thing they had no idea you existed.
- > The Doctor smacked his lips and fired a blue beam at the ceiling.
- > The energy spread across the goo holding the girls captive.
- > Within seconds it began to dry and crack away, letting the girls free with ease.
- "That was all you called me for?"
- > The ones with wings managed to touch down easily.
- > The others...
- > Rarity let out an undignified yell as she smacked into the ground.
- > Not so much...
- > Twilight clapped her hooves together nervously.
- > "She did manage too beat Celestia..."
- > Again.
- > You didn't say it though out of respect for the sun goddess.
- > Well, sun Alicorn. A real goddess was much worse than Celestia and Luna.
- > Oh well.
- > You let your shoulders drop.
- > No need to be on the defensive anymore.
- > The rest of the royal guard were taking care of the Changelings out there and the Queen.
- > You glance back at her unconscious form.
- > She was down and out.
- > So now you could finally sleep!
- > Hop right on the train for home and get some well-deserved rest.
- > The girls could clean up the rest of this mess.
- > "Nonny~!" Pinkie shouted appearing in your vision from seemingly nowhere.
- > "You've got to rescue Celestia and Luna!"
- "What!? Why?"
- > She bopped your nose lightly, giving a girlish giggle.
- > "Because you're their knight in shining armor silly~ The other one is nopony knows who, where, what, wh-"
- > You drown her out by thinking of different types of beds.
- > Futons.
- > Queen Sized.
- > King Sized.
- > Bunk-beds, you would be the bottom of course.
- > "And then you've got too take them back home an-"
- > You hold her mouth shut with one hand.
- > The others were noticeably blushing.
- > Even the Doctor who seemed ashamed to be there.
- "Wait, what did she say?"
- > "It'd be best not to worry about it." Rarity shivered.
- > "I-I didn't know Pinkie was so imaginative..." Fluttershy whispered.
- > Just what exactly had she said while you were thinking to yourself?
- > Oh well, whatever. It didn't matter, you just wanted to get this silly little skirmish over with.
- > Maybe you could call her...
- > Nah, she was hiding away in her own little world right now, and the last thing you wanted to do was go through another session of 'how amazing you are' 101."
- > "Okay, we're going to go out and help the others." Twilight said, moving closer to you.
- > She reached into the saddlebags mucked to her side from the goo.
- > Clicking it open she pulled out a small square of a map.
- > You took it from her, ignoring the goo and horse slobber falling over it.
- > Gross...
- > You didn't say anything though.
- > Rainbow and Applejack were already rushing out of the throneroom, eager to help the others.
- > Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie followed behind the girls with less enthusiasm.
- > "I simply must get this mess out of my mane after this."
- > "I heard there was a five-star spa somewhere around here Rarity, maybe after-"
- > Fluttershy's voice dimmed down as they left through the door.
- > Twilight sighed.
- > "We were on our way originally but we got caught. Don't worry, there's only a quarter of the army guarding them."
- > Your eye twitched briefly.
- > "Nothing you can't handle Anon..."
- > Twilight's gaze lingered on you as she began to back out of the room.
- > It wasn't generic lust or awkwardness.
- > But it seemed as if she was hurting in a weird way.
- "Everything alright?"
- > She seemed to snap out of whatever trance she was in; jolting to action. "Yes, yes fine! Goodbye Anonymous!"
- > With that she galloped out of the throneroom, leaving you alone with The Doctor, Aggro, and a bunch of unconscious Changelings.
- > You look at the shiny, black bodies littering the floor.
- > "Okay Anon, I'm done here." The Doctor said.
- "What? I still kind of need you for you know, the Princess rescue mission!"
- > You punctuate by smacking the paper.
- > "No can do. I'm done here, fighting isn't really my thing."
- > He went hazy eyed briefly.
- > "Mansions are though..."
- > With that he left, leaving you alone with Aggro.
- > You look down at what was essentially a mutt at heart.
- > He stared back at you, giving you his version of a 'smile'.
- "I suppose you want to go out there and throw around some Changelings don't you..."
- > He nodded with vigor.
- "And you don't want to help your owner actually do something productive..."
- > He blew a raspberry.
- > With a sigh you run a hand down your face.
- "Whatever, go on then..."
- > In a murky green blur he was gone.
- > You lumber over to the Queen, looking over her unconscious body.
- > Well...
- > You had to make sure she wouldn't get free again.
- > You pull her from the wall; a sick peeling sound accompanying her departure from the marble.
- > Tossing her on the red rug, you start rolling it up.
- > It didn't take you long to get finished making a burrito out of the sadistic Queen.
- > Hoisting the wrapped creature over your shoulder you push past the doors.
- > From your last couple of visits here, you could navigate the castle pretty easily.
- > And even then; the very detailed map Twilight had given you would lead you straight to the mares in distress.
- > Seemed as if this happened to them more often than it should.
- > You make a right down the hall.
- > Another hall filled with vases, pictures, and other various forms of art greeted you.
- > You had come from the left originally, that hall completely wrecked.
- > You look back at the tons of unconscious Changelings.
- > You don't kill.
- > That's not your style.
- > You head down the artsy hallway, admiring some of the pieces.
- > Supposedly they weren't far from here.
- > They would be stored in the ballroom, surrounded by a quarter of this mare- bug things army.
- > That would be fun to deal with...
- > You still hadn't seen hide nor hair of Iron Will on your way here.
- > This seemed like something he would take part of, considering he was always talking about the 'itch' of battle or something.
- > Oh well, you knew he wasn't dead.
- > Just something in your gut.
- > And it was your gut and rash decisions that got you this far in the first place.
- > It had been about eight months since you had challenged her.
- > A goddess of wind to her own little, silly course.
- > You had managed to win by just the skin of your nails.
- > Which was good as a lot had been put at stake around that time.
- > But that was the past, this is the now. You needed to keep your head in the game.
- > Some struggling in the carpet caught your attention.
- "Oh look who's awake."
- > "Nghhh... what happened... did I win?"
- "Far from it."
- > "Let me go this instant! What am I even wrapped up in... it smells rather lovely..."
- "The royal rug."
- > "How dare you!" Some more struggling followed with shouting and a blast of magic from the end of the rub.
- > You smirk silently.
- > It was nice to enjoy the little things.
- > A Queen of an army with the ego of a god, squirming and kicking like a toddler in a rolled up rug because of you?
- > That was enjoyable.
- > A nice comfortable bed...
- > That would be really enjoyable...
- > You come to a halt in front of a door, peering down at the map.
- > This was it.
- > You drop the Queen, earning a muffled grunt of pain from her.
- > Without wasting any more time you push past the doors.
- > What seemed like millions of swarming black bodies buzzed about the room.
- > In the middle of it all was two coats that stood out.
- > The pristine white and shining blue.
- > You took a step forward, hoping you could just rush in and grab them.
- > But the hundreds of clear blue eyes trained on you said otherwise.
- > It was times like this you would pull through with something crazy.
- > But you had a different idea.
- "Goddess of the wind! I summon thee!"
- > You hated saying that.
- > The Changelings shared looks silently.
- > Then, all at once they shared a laugh that was akin to bats shrieking.
- > You waited patiently.
- > Any second now...
- > A Changeling braver than the rest shot forward like a rocket.
- > He seemed pretty fast but not fast enough.
- > The wind was already picking up.
- > Before he could even connect a torrent of wind came from the front of you.
- > The Changelings that weren't clinging to walls were blown back instantly, standing no chance against the raw power of the elements.
- > "I have heard you Anonymous and I have come to answer your call!"
- > The Changelings reeled back; searching for the source of the voice which came from everywhere.
- "That's cool and all, but I need to rescue Luna and Celestia right now..."
- > "Oh... that's no issue."
- > The ballrooms doors leading to the garden swung open.
- > The Changelings were instantly sucked out of the room, leaving it empty save for the princesses in mere seconds.
- > Phew.
- > You weren't keen on calling upon for her help but you really just wanted to get back to bed right now.
- > You lumber over to the princesses, towering over them.
- > They were chained together, duct tape placed over the eyes and mouths.
- > You rip the tape off of both girls, earning pained shouts from them.
- "Hey, you're the ones who got caught." You simply say.
- > "Thank you for your assistance Anonymous." Celestia muttered.
- > "Oh, it's simply you." Luna grunted.
- > She was still upset that you had tried to play 'god' according to her.
- > You think she was upset that you won in the end.
- > Oh well.
- > You look over the chains.
- "What do you want me to do about the chains?"
- > Both sisters peered down at the chains for a second.
- > In one swift motion they broke them with ease.
- > Oh...
- > Simple enough.
- > It seemed as if Chrysalis wasn't as much of a threat as you thought.
- > Before you left it to the girls though...
- "Have either of you seen Will?"
- > "Can't say I have..." Luna muttered before galloping out of the room.
- > Celestia sighed heavily.
- > "I'm sorry Anon, but I can't help right now. I've got other problems to deal with."
- > Without so much as a 'thank you' she galloped away as well, leaving you all alone.
- > There goes Pinkies sick little fantasy, whatever it had been.
- > You shrug and lumber over to the roll of rug.
- > Maybe she would know...
- "Hey..."
- > No answer...
- > You grunt and nudge it with your foot.
- "Hey..."
- > "What..." Chrysalis spat.
- "I'm looking for a Minotaur named Iron Will, did any of yours go after him?"
- > A heavy sigh came from the rug. "We did fight a Minotaur earlier, he took down three of my squadrons..."
- > That sounded like Will.
- "Great, where is he?"
- > "I have no idea..."
- > You sneer silently.
- > "Last I had seen of him, he moved off somewhere into the middle of the town."
- > You opened your mouth to say something but the ground beneath you rumbled.
- > Just subtly...
- > It had almost gone unnoticed...
- > Almost.
- > It rumbled again.
- > A low chuckle came from the rug roll.
- > "As if I wouldn't have an ace in the hole..."
- > The ground rumbled again in response.
- > The thought of a large Manticore rushing you flashed through your mind briefly.
- > You clutch your head, backing away from the roll.
- > Why did that hurt to think about?
- > You ignore the pain, the rumbling growing louder.
- > "Tell me human. Do you like Dragons?"
- > You steady yourself, the rumbling heavier than before.
- > It was unsettling...
- > Dragons?
- > What did she mean by Dragons?
- > A low chuckle came from the roll of rug again.
- > "I can't wait~!" She sing-songed.
- "What is going on?"
- > "Like I would tell you."
- > You groaned; not even wanting to attempt interrogation with this mare-bug thing.
- > Whatever was coming it was coming now.
- > A gust of subtle wind came through the room.
- > The light tickling of your nose elicited a sneeze.
- > "Gesundheit."
- > You peer at the presence next to you.
- > The regal, slender mare stared forward blankly, her pairs of wings folded at her sides.
- > You fold your arms over your chest.
- > Wait for it...
- > The regal mare seemed to find the room more interesting than you.
- > Then suddenly her wings shot outwards.
- > The size of them forced you to step back with a surprised shout.
- > "There's a dragon Anon! A dragon! And you're about to fight it! Oh this is going to be SOOO awesome!"
- > Of course.
- > Ever since you managed to beat Zoa at her own game she had done two things.
- > The first consisted of constant apologies and showering you with gifts.
- > And the second...
- > Well, after you and her had a talk she had become...
- > You watch her smile spread across her face like a filly in the candy shop.
- > Obsessed... with your feats.
- > Which was odd because whenever you tried to get her to talk about another human she seemed less enthusiastic about them.
- > Wait.
- > Dragon!?
- "Dragon!?"
- > Zoa smiled brightly again, her perfect teeth nearly blinding you.
- > Another odd thing she started doing was showing actual emotion.
- > Aside from smugness and self-satisfaction.
- > "Yes! I'm confident you've got a plan, correct?"
- > You lower your defense.
- "Uhh.... no..."
- > She frowned.
- > "Oh..."
- > She smiled again, becoming eerily more and more like Pinkie Pie.
- > "But you're going to go in and fight it anyway right!?"
- "I think Celestia, Luna, and every single Element here can hand-"
- > "Oh come ooon~ You know want too..."
- > "Oh stop acting like an undignified fan mare and pop off Zoa."
- > Zoa turned to the carpet roll.
- > "Oh, never thought I would see the likes of you again Chrysalis..."
- > "Must be a pleasure." The roll purred.
- > "Wait a minute... Anon you tied her up in a rug?"
- "Yeah..."
- > You shrug and pocket your hands.
- > You had managed to get your hands on another aviator, this one a woodland brown instead of a light brown.
- > She began to laugh hysterically.
- > "Oh sweet mother of the cosmos! You actually did do it!"
- > You give her a small smile in response; her laughter beginning to infect you.
- "Yeah, well it was the closest thing."
- > Her laughter died down, allowing her to finally stand up.
- > The whole room rumbled this time.
- > The two of you stumbled, Zoa giving a less surprised reaction.
- > "The Dragon draws near Anonymous, and I can guarantee that the Elements cannot defeat it all on their own."
- > You search her for any sign of deceit.
- > She had been up to this little game for a couple months now.
- > Diamond Dogs invading Ponyville.
- > Up to you.
- > All of Equestria in danger.
- > Up to you.
- > The only thing she didn't even bother showing up about was friendship issues, which Twilight and her crew solved in a day.
- > There was one time she showed up at your doorstep, claiming that there was a disturbance from your realm, like tons of voices shouting out in rage at once.
- > This had happened around the same time Scootaloo and her friends had gotten their Cutie Marks.
- > You sigh; running a hand down your face.
- "I-I'm going to have to do this aren't I? There is no such thing as a simple day is there?"
- > "If you do this Anon. I can bring one of the clouds from my realm; they make excellent pillows."
- > That sounded promising.
- "Deal. But leave me alone for the next three days after this okay? I need some rest."
- > Zoa muttered something about you before she agreed.
- > You wanted to poke further but you decided not too.
- > It was time to get this over with.
- "Chrysalis stay here will ya'..."
- > You didn't even bother to listen to the rug roll.
- > You took off, the world turning into a blur around you.
- > You had been in Canterlot a couple of times.
- > As much as you had been to the castle of course.
- > So you knew your way around here a little bit.
- > The ground rumbled again; nearly going unnoticed in your sprint.
- > You crash through the garden bushes; the branches and vines whipping at your face.
- > You had come to simply ignore pain after a certain point.
- > You break through the garden; skidding to a stop at the castle wall.
- > Even with your large stature it had a good foot on you.
- > Which you easily hopped.
- > You touched down in an alley; splashing a puddle and startling a bunch of hiding cats.
- > With a screech they scattered; their furry bodies going everywhere.
- > On your way in the city had looked like a warzone.
- > Changelings and guards everywhere, most of them would have been better off fighting you.
- > Luckily there were no casualties so far as you knew.
- > Defeating this dragon would probably keep it that way.
- > You head down the alleyway; ignoring the smell of week old garbage and dirty water.
- > You stop and peer around the corner.
- > Two Changelings chased down a unicorn foal.
- > Big nerdy glasses.
- > Magic cape.
- > Yep, it was a student at the local magic academy.
- > One of the Changelings tackled the kid, managing to pin her under it.
- > "Hel-"
- > She was silenced as it shoved a hoof in her mouth.
- > It hissed at her; its horn beginning to hum with a green glow.
- > You sigh and step from your hiding spot; the other Changeling noticing.
- > It hissed; buzzing its wings in anticipation.
- > You sigh raising your arms in exasperation.
- > You just wanted to sleep...
- > The Changeling pinning the student took notice of you.
- > The one that had noticed you first shot foward; hardly giving you enough time to notice the black blur.
- > You side-step....
- > The Changeling had been moving too fast; already zipping past you.
- > You lazily reached out and grabbed hold of its tail; halting its progress.
- > With no effort you sling it backwards.
- > It crashed into its buddy pinning the student; both of them disappearing in a mess of tangled limbs.
- > Weird, hole-riddled, limbs.
- > You lumber over to the kid.
- > It wasn't a foal yeah that much was true, but it may as well been the size of one.
- > Like really, this kid was smaller than pipsqueak.
- > She sniffled to herself silently; oblivious to your presence.
- > She was examining her glasses, which had been broken during the struggle.
- > A crack straight down the middle.
- > She suddenly became alerted of your presence; whirling around with panic etched on her face.
- > She relaxed.
- > "Oh..." Her voice was so high pitched it nearly hurt your ears just listening to her talk.
- > "It's just you..."
- > You give her the warmest smile you can muster.
- "Just me..."
- > She smiled.
- > Then she frowned; looking back at her glasses.
- > "Those idiot Changelings broke my glasses..." She muttered.
- > You kneel down and take them from her.
- > Looking them over you frown.
- > Aside from the crack and a bent leg, they were fine.
- > But something was telling you this filly had little to spare.
- > She frowned; watching you look over her glasses with a nosy expression.
- > She probably got a lot of flak at school for wearing specs the size of dinner plates.
- > In your opinion it would be a good thing if these were broken.
- > But hey...
- > You sigh slipping the glasses back on her.
- > You were quite well known now, almost on par with the Elements in terms of fame.
- > So of course this wasn't a problem; trying to comfort a filly.
- > You smile at her and pat her head.
- "You know, back on earth..."
- > They always seemed to love it when you talked about your planet.
- > Not at first, because you had started off with wars, sickness, and just about everything else.
- > But eventually they warmed up to the ideas.
- "There was a hero adored by thousands. He wore glasses that he broke quite a bit as well."
- > "Was it you?"
- > You chuckle.
- "Nah... I was never really into him. But I always heard about him, he was a wizard, used magic just like you."
- > The filly smiled softly.
- "Dude defeated tons of ridiculous things, like Werewolves and stuff."
- > The fillys mood did a turnaround. She frowned, lowering her head. "I bet he was big and strong though, like you..."
- "What?"
- > You blow air through your nose.
- "Not at all, dude was scrawny, thin as a twig. But he showed most people that no matter what you do you can wi-"
- > "REEEEEE!"
- > Another Changeling charged you; appearing from seemingly nowhere.
- > You simply slap it out of the way, its unconscious form spiraling into a wall.
- "Win no matter what."
- > You get up and stretch.
- "Alright..."
- > "Charm caster."
- "Charm, get back home and tell your parents to lock the doors. I've got-"
- > The whole town began to rumble violently.
- > The buildings around you; shaken to their very core began to let some rubble loose.
- > A loud roar accompanied the violent rumble.
- > All at once; the Changelings that were left began to flee, taking to the skies.
- > A large figure rose to full height in the middle of the town.
- > Its shadow fell over the two of you slowly.
- > Within seconds the sun was blotted out by the sheer size of the creature in the middle of the city.
- > Wonderful...
- "Go now Charm..."
- > The filly complied; gathering up her saddlebags and galloping away.
- > She was close enough to the castle that she would be fine on her own now.
- > Besides...
- > From the looks of it the Changelings were leaving the city to the mercy of the figure looming over the town.
- > A gust of wind tickled your ear.
- > "Amazing speech!"
- "Hey..."
- > "Seriously, I had shivers when you-"
- "HEY!"
- > Zoa stopped.
- > She gave you a loop-sided smile.
- > "Yeesss?" She purred.
- > You point to the rising figure in disbelief.
- "Can't you take it down or something?"
- > She frowned; creasing her eyebrows in confusion.
- > "But Anon..."
- > If she said it you would seriously...
- > "That's literally no sweat for you..."
- > You internally scream.
- > You pinch the bridge of your nose; closing your eyes for a second.
- > When you opened them, she was gone...
- > Rage increasing....
- > You ignore the eccentric goddess and turn back to the figure.
- > Good news was that Celestia, Luna, and the Elements were most likely focused on it right now.
- > Bad news...
- > The Changelings were all leaving...
- > If they weren't staying to help out...
- > Just how bad was this thing?
- > Oh well, your question would be answered shortly enough.
- > You lower your head and begin sprinting.
- > You are Rainbow Dash.
- > You let out a shout, just barely avoiding the creatures column of fire.
- > "Dash be careful!" Twilight shouted, her horn glowing with lavender energy.
- > Rarity stood behind her, filing her hooves.
- "Rarity aren't you going to help!?"
- > "Seriously!?" AJ shouted; bucking away a stray changeling.
- > Most of them had taken off, but a couple were staying for some reason.
- > "Hm... you girls have got this. Besides, I can't get any of that soot in my lovely mane, bad enough that..." She shivered silently. "Goo got in..."
- > You groan; barely avoiding becoming roasted.
- > You flatten your wings and point your body downwards.
- > The wind whipped your face and ran through your mane as you dove towards the ground, your wings keeping you in steady control of your movements.
- > The Dragon seemed to have lost sight of you, turning its attention to the nearest building.
- > It went to work; smashing the bell tower like it was nothing.
- > This thing was huge...
- > Its head alone was about the size of the rainbow factory at Cloudsdale.
- > It was just unnatural!
- > You halt your glide by flapping your wings as fast as you could.
- > Rounding about the Dragons head you get in just close enough to tap his cheek.
- > He let out a frustrated roar, obviously upset that he couldn't hit The Dash.
- > You let out a light-hearted laugh, aiming too increase your speed.
- > This guy was just too slow...
- > And once Twilight got that spell charged up, you would laugh right in its stupi-
- > "Dash!"
- > A weight suddenly appeared in your hooves.
- > You look down, seeing Pinkie hooked to your grip.
- "What the- Pinkie!"
- > "I just needed too say..."
- > "Watch out!"
- > You look up just in time too see the incoming tower.
- > With a shout you pull to the right, just barely hitting the building.
- > The Dragon let out a roar.
- > Sweet Celestia! Your eardrums felt like they just burst...
- > Twilight shouted something from the ground, Fluttershy and AJ racing over to her.
- > She seemed to be preparing something...
- > The Dragon seemed to loose interest in you again, narrowing its eyes on the girls gathered just before it.
- > With a roar it cocked its fist back.
- > Wait...
- > No...no...no!
- > You snap your wings shut, trying to get to the girls in time.
- > From your peripheral you could see a green blur rushing towards them as well.
- > Changeling!
- > The Dragons fist shot forward, slamming onto the girls below.
- > What seemed like an explosion sent you and Pinkie tumbling out of the air.
- > You landed in a hay pile, the hay providing just barely enough cushion for the landing.
- > You poke your head out of the hay, spitting out the delicious yellow straw.
- > Pinkie had gotten luckier, somehow landing slumped over a streetlamp.
- > She looked fine save for a cut on her cheek.
- > She was lucky that was all that happened...
- > You suddenly realized what happened to your friends, glancing back out of fear.
- > The Dragons massive fist still rest in the same spot.
- > It let out a loud guffaw, throwing his head back in victory.
- > You began to see red.
- > Your friends...
- > Rarity, Applejack, Twilight, Fluttershy.
- > They were dead because of this dumb thing!
- > You let out a warcry; bursting from the hay.
- > Sweat trickled down your fore-head.
- > You try and fix your labored breathing, struggling against the force pressing from overhead.
- > You are Anonymous.
- > And every muscle in your body was screaming in pain right now.
- > When you had gotten here the Dragon had been fixing to smash the girls.
- > Luckily Twilight put up a shield just in time.
- > ... With you as the base.
- > When the fist connected the shield made the attack non-lethal but it still hurt like hell.
- > You press against the shield, the weight of the creatures arm pushing against you and the shield.
- > Twilight struggled to hold it as well, the strength putting too much strain on her mentally.
- > You needed to come up with something fast.
- > You nearly slipped, dropping your position.
- > You moved and this whole shield would shatter like glass.
- > You were the sole-reason it was still alive.
- > Your arms quivered against the force pressing on the shield, begging for a break from this mind-numbingly painful task.
- > No...
- > You would not quit.
- > "I-I can't hold it anymore..." Twilight grunted.
- > You simply growl in response.
- > No point in wasting your breath.
- > Slowly cracks started to develop at the top...
- > "Come on Twi, keep the shield up!" AJ shouted.
- > Well you think she did.
- > The world was starting to fade around you.
- > Your heartbeat pounded in your ears, blackness slowly creeping into your vision.
- > The pressure above was not letting up.
- > You fold your knees; trying to put less pressure on your legs.
- > It did very little...
- > You were beginning to develop tunnel vision...
- > Purple.
- > Red.
- > Black.
- > It all began to blend together.
- > Hm...
- > You couldn't seem too feel your legs.
- > Infact.
- > You couldn't feel anything.
- > You felt like a ghost; peering up through a velvet tinted window.
- > The girls voices tickled just beyond your senses.
- > What were they even saying?
- > You couldn't understand their gibberish.
- > White lights began to fill your vision; flashing in your face.
- > It pulsated; moving in rhythm along with your heartbeat.
- > How long did he plan on holding his fist down?
- > Your knees buckled, sending you to the ground.
- > The shield lowered with you; earning frantic gasps from the girls.
- > You fall backwards; the shield lowering as well.
- > You managed to keep your arms out though...
- > They were your last support of the shield.
- > Rarity screamed something in your ear but you couldn't make it out.
- > All you could see was the fist just above you and the girlsβ¦
- > Ready to seal your fate.
- > The shield suddenly lowered.
- > Just as the fist began to raise away.
- > What just happened?
- > The sunlight and pristine buildings took your vision again.
- > Well what was left of it, the blackness was just now creeping away.
- > The pressure was gone, no more purple bubble, no more looming, impending doom.
- > You let your arms flop to the ground.
- > Fluttershy and AJ appeared in your vision.
- > They said something to you, but all you could hear was your own heart pounding.
- > It had been eight months since you felt this body-racking pain.
- > And...
- > It made you fell alive!
- > You had almost forgotten what this felt like!
- > Your hearing came back first..
- > "Uhhh... Ahnon, why are you smiling like that?"
- > Eight months...
- > Felt like years...
- > The feeling of being drained faded away.
- > The thoughts of beds and just getting home dispersed.
- > You had only one thing on your mind now...
- > Taking on this Dragon...
- > "A-are you okay?" Fluttershy asked, leaning in.
- > "Do ya' think he went brain dead?" AJ muttered.
- > You reach up and grab the mares hooves, startling them.
- "It's been so long..."
- > You slowly pick yourself up; the mares watching your massive frame tower over them.
- "Finally... worthy opposition..."
- > You peel off your jacket, leaving you in your blue jeans, light boots, and grey tank top.
- > You sling the jacket back at Rarity, earning a surprised squeal from her.
- > Without another word you step past the two girls.
- > You focused on the towering form over you.
- > It seemed like Dash was keeping it distracted in the meantime.
- > And you had no idea how to take this thing down.
- > You smile again.
- > But you were going to try.
- > You should start by getting up to its head somehow.
- > You examine its scaly skin.
- > If you could get a good grip in between them...
- > Climbing its back would be no problem.
- > You round around the Dragons legs, its ankle roughly the size of the town hall back in Ponyville.
- > When you managed to get behind it you skidded to a stop and leapt onto the back of its ankle.
- > You dig your fingers in between the scales, a sharp pain nipping at the creases of your fingers.
- > You really needed to get gloves...
- > You dig your boots into the creases of the other scales.
- > Slowly you begin to scale the Dragons leg, going unnoticed courtesy of Dash.
- > As you made your way up the Dragon let out a loud roar.
- > Dash divebombed towards her friends, drawing the attention away.
- > Twilight was just picking herself up.
- > Felt a vibration run up the Dragons leg.
- > It had been so powerful it had nearly thrown you off.
- > But you clutched tighter and packed yourself even closer than before.
- > Not letting up one bit.
- > You wanted too... no you NEEDED too defeat this thing!
- > You sling your arm over and pull yourself upwards, gravity and the creatures violent vibrations fighting against you.
- > Way above a column of fire burst forth from the creatures mouth.
- > It was directed at Twilight this time...
- > You freeze, watching with anticipation.
- > She struggled to get up, her horn flaring with energy.
- > The fire engulfed her before she could do anything...
- > As well as all of the others in the vicinity.
- > The Dragon trailed its fire down the street engulfing everything it could with its raw elemental power.
- > You weren't having any of that...
- > You dig your hand into a scale, flattening the palm.
- > And then, with all of your strength you began to pull it away...
- > It was most likely akin to a flea biting a dog but you definitely caught its attention...
- > Smoke bellowed from its nostrils as it turned to you, craning its long neck to get a look at its leg.
- > You furrow your brow in response.
- > The Dragons face creased into one of anger.
- > Oh he looked upset...
- > One massive, clawed hand snatched you from the leg.
- > His scaled fingers snapped shut around your body, pinning your arms and legs together.
- > You had no leverage.
- > The world flew past you in a blur as he raised you to the sky.
- > He came face to face with you.
- > Now that you had gotten a close look at him you could see why the Changelings were clearing out.
- > Its horned nostrils flared as its ember eyes stared into you own.
- > Dash shot down to her friends; obviously more worried about them than you.
- > Whatever...
- > Horns ran along the side of the creatures face, each one growing in size as they reached the top of its massive skull.
- > Two twisted horns spiraled from the side of its head.
- > The creature opened its maw and let out a might roar.
- > Breath so riddled with heat and the smell of sulfur washed over your face.
- > Did you even have eyebrows anymore?
- > You were pretty sure they were just singed off.
- > It snapped its mouth shut; glaring at you once more.
- > As if taunting you it opened its mouth again, this time a burning orange swelling in its throat.
- > The fury of a sun was swelling up.
- > And it was going to be directed at you...
- > You couldn't let it end like this.
- > No...
- > The word whispered in the back of your mind; just barely audible over your impending doom.
- > Your arms began to move on their own.
- > You slide your arms into a different position, managing to place the palm of your hands pointed to your right and left.
- > You begin to push outwards.
- > The Dragon noticed what you were doing; continuing to slowly build a strike of fire.
- > Just for you.
- > The massive hand clamped around your body began to budge, earning a surprised look from the dragon.
- > It put more force behind it clamping it shut.
- > You were enclosed within its hand, you legs folded to your chest.
- > All that did was allow you more leverage.
- > You focus on gaining your ground inch by inch.
- > Chances were it just stopped building the fire; more focused on keeping you contained.
- > Forget that.
- > You stomp your legs outward, pushing in different directions with your whole body.
- > The wall of flesh enveloping you began to struggle against your power.
- > With a roar you managed to burst free from its grasp.
- > The Dragon let out a surprised squawk as you picked yourself up from its open palm.
- > You sprint forward; running down the length of its arm.
- > The floor of meat suddenly jolted upwards; sending you tumbling into the air.
- > Straight towards its face...
- > A creature this size...
- > With skin so thick a tank was practically useless against it...
- > One would think running is the best option.
- > You cock a fist back, not entirely sure if you could even do much.
- > You can and you will hurt this thing.
- > You can and you will hurt this thing.
- > You can and you will hurt this thing.
- > You can and you will hurt this thing.
- > Time seemed to move in slow motion, all sounds save for your growl missing from the world.
- > No wind whipping as you fell.
- > No terrified shouts of the ponies below.
- > Even as the Dragon reared up to blast you with fire it stood silent, the ball coming from its mouth only visually.
- > Your pupils felt narrowed in on one thing.
- > Then...
- > Time resumed...
- > All at once the sounds flooded back.
- > But one stood above the rest for you.
- > Your own war cry.
- > You sling your fist over your head as you connected with the Dragons snout.
- > A loud crack followed by a gust of air was the only thing you focused on.
- > You can and you will hurt this thing...
- > BOOM!
- > Time stood still as the Dragons head bobbed.
- > Its snout; the area you had attacked popped back up, nearly throwing you off.
- > You take hold of one of the smaller horns jutting from its side.
- > The way its head bounced nearly threw you off but you weren't having any of that.
- > You dig your heels down.
- > In one swift movement it righted itself, pointing the snout downwards.
- > Despite the gravity pushing against you, you claw your way up; using the horns as leverage.
- > It caught your attention.
- > You can and you will hurt this thing...
- > You let out another warcry, the Dragons eyes shooting open.
- > For a brief second; before they were taken by its fury you could see a look of fear behind them.
- > But you didn't focus on that, worried on one thing only.
- > You can and you will hurt this thing...
- > Your movements became robotic, leading you up the path of the creatures snout.
- > You were at the top of the head now.
- > Dropping down you take hold of one of the massive scale plates.
- > With a grunt you uproot the entire thing in a single go, earning a yip from the Dragon.
- > A rainbow blur passed by overhead, whipping your face with cold wind.
- > You hold the scale over you, the whole thing about roughly the size of you.
- > Pointing the sharp tip down you grimace.
- > It wouldn't kill it, but it wasn't your favorite option.
- > You bring the scale down; the creatures own armor piercing its own with ease.
- > A loud shriek was all you got before you were thrown off.
- > The world rolled all around you, each time the ground growing closer and closer.
- > You've survived many things.
- > But this was it...
- > You snap your eyes shut.
- > You strangely felt at peace.
- > No more obsessive god.
- > No more Elements of Harmony treating you like their personal mule.
- > No more of your friends...
- > Oh lord...
- > This was it...
- > You could still feel your body tumbling towards the ground.
- > There was no fighting, thinking, or any way out of this.
- > It was finally over...
- > Suddenly something tackled your side.
- > You let out a pained gasp as all of the air left your body.
- > You peer down at the rainbow blur forcing you from the ground.
- > It arched up, taking you with it back into the air.
- > Just as suddenly as it snatched you, it let you go.
- > You crashed through a wall behind you; the pain instantaneous.
- > You slammed into the polished floor, rolling across of it non-stop.
- > Until you hit another wall that was.
- > Luckily it held; keeping you from going out the other end.
- > You stare up at the wooden ceiling above you with a blank look.
- > With a groan you right yourself.
- > Aside from everything being a little fuzzy around the edges and a blunt pain in your stomach you were fine.
- > You right yourself.
- > Peering over you saw your entrance.
- > A hole made from shattered glass and splintered wood.
- > The shards and splinters ran a course along the floor, which held residence to a single table which you had managed not to hit on the way in.
- > You knew this area.
- > Some meeting place for delegates and the like.
- > Looks like they would need a revamp...
- > You get on your feet; your body already harassing you for everything you've done.
- > Oh, you wouldn't hear the end of this from anybody...
- > You limp over to the hole in the wall; leaning against it to peer out.
- > The Dragon flapped its mighty wings taking off into the sky.
- > You could see Luna and Celestia chasing it off with the help of Twilight.
- > Good, she was fine.
- > ....
- > Not really good but whatever.
- > Still...
- > You sigh and sit down; staring out at Canterlot.
- > You won...
- > You lie down; staring at the ceiling.
- > Sleep came easy.
- > "Anon..."
- > You weren't having a dream this time.
- > Which was rather boring but you didn't care, a simple sleep was sufficient enough for you.
- > "Wake up Anonymous."
- > You grunt; shifting in your sleep.
- > Wow, this was the most luxurious bed you've ever been in.
- > "Anon, Rainbow Dash has been talking trash about you."
- > Your eyes snapped open in response.
- > You sit up; glaring around the room.
- > Where was she!?
- > Did she want another 'eat my dust' lesson!?
- > You stop when your eyes fell on Celestia.
- > You lay on a scarlet colored bed, some silky fabric gracing your back.
- > Ohhh...
- > You couldn't even be upset anymore.
- > You sink into the soft mattress.
- > You had no idea where you were.
- > The bed was neat though.
- > Four pillars on the four corners supported an overhead marble roof, which was currently molding different hues of color into abstract pictures.
- > Magic man... you would never figure out its limitations.
- > Celestia sighed and stepped away, disappearing behind the thin, red veils all around the bed.
- > "I'm glad you're fine now Anonymous..."
- "Where am I?"
- > "The royal chambers."
- > Wait.
- > Royal chambers?
- > That was royal slang for 'my bedroom'
- > Was it hotter in here or was it just you?
- > And if you had gone off of any prior knowledge you had, when a girl invited you to her bedroom.
- > Fun times ahead.
- > You weren't keen on complying though, you did have a kind of, sort of relationship right now.
- > But this was a being way more powerful than you...
- > Yes for her would be a yes...
- > You needed an escape plan.
- > Weak spots.
- > Deceit.
- > Maybe if you scream before she could do anything...
- > "Are you fine Anonymous? You look like a veteran on a bad day." She chuckled to herself, slipping a teacup plate with tea onto the bed.
- > You eye it suspiciously.
- > Could be drugged.
- > Or you are just being paranoid...
- "Aren't you worried about it spilling?"
- > "Magically infused sheets. It would take a mad god too even wrinkle them."
- > She took a sip from her own tea cup.
- > Her magic levitated it; enveloping the white cup in a yellow glow.
- > You sigh and take yours.
- > Nothing to worry about with Celestia.
- > She had been apathetic towards your situation before the whole 'Triathlon' thing but she wasn't anything like you were thinking right now.
- > Just your /mlp/ side coming out.
- > You hold the plate under the cup, taking a sip.
- > A tangy but sweet taste took your tongue.
- > Interesting...
- > Celestia giggled, taking another sip of her tea.
- > "I take it by your face that you're enjoying the tea?"
- "Yes actually, who made it and what is it?"
- > "I did, I don't have somepony do everything for me."
- > You chuckle and shake your head.
- > "And I can't tell you the recipe. Only Luna and I know our tea secrets."
- "Some secret you're keeping. Most immortals keep treasure hidden, or the secret to immortality."
- > You raise your teacup.
- "But Celestia has her tea."
- > She smiled and took a spot on the bed.
- > Despite the paranoia running through your head earlier you didn't care now.
- > Besides, this bed was huge.
- > There was still a good two feet of space between you and Celestia.
- "Why am I here?"
- > "Rainbow Dash told us where you were after we chased off the Dragon. Unfortunately the castle and city infirmaries are filled up. I just assumed you needed some rest though, so I bought you the best bed in all of Canterlot."
- > You quirk an eyebrow.
- "You just assumed I was fine?"
- > "Anonymous look at who you are. Of course you're fine."
- > You silently take a sip of your tea.
- "Yeah I guess..."
- > She had barely caught that, rolling her eyes silently.
- > "Cocky one aren't we?"
- "I'm cocky? What was that whole 'best bed' in Canterlot business back there? No-one brags about their bed."
- > This earned a chuckle from her.
- > "Oh well..."
- > She frowned, packing her muzzle up.
- > It looked quiet adorable.
- > "Chrysalis escaped..."
- > Of course.
- > Zoa sure as hell wasn't watching her.
- > She was probably watching the whole Dragon fiasco.
- > You take another sip of your tea.
- "Ehhhh, she'll be back for round..."
- > "Four..."
- "Four, and like always we'll beat her."
- > Well, they beat her the first two times.
- > Which is why you seriously questioned their motives for adding you on this time.
- > But you could see why now with that Dragon.
- > "Twilight and her friends are resting in the guest quarters."
- "Strange how they're there and I'm here..."
- > Celestia seemed too catch what you were saying, turning away with a blush.
- > "Nothing like that! I just wanted to apologize..."
- > You raise an eyebrow.
- "For what?"
- > "Earlier I left without so much as a 'Thank you', I just couldn't let that go on with all of the stuff you've done for us... even despite the way my students have treated you..."
- > You shrug and put the teacup and plate down, having already finished them.
- "Couldn't be helped. I've always had to deal with ridicule in my life, this was nothing more than the normal."
- > Celestia seemed disheartened to hear that.
- > You wanted to move away from the subject.
- > You didn't do touchy-feely...
- > Only when it was needed.
- > You clear your throat, catching her attention.
- "So uh... did you guys ever find Will?"
- > "Oh yes. He and Cardio Bunny were found holding out in a pastry shop."
- "Bunny was with him?"
- > "Yes."
- > You had a feeling they weren't just holding out in the shop.
- > But you pushed that thought to the back of your mind.
- > Will making out was not something you wanted to think of.
- "So that's it then..."
- > "...."
- "I ain't got nothing more to worry about so..."
- > You pull the silky blanket over your massive form and snap your eyes shut.
- "Goodnight..."
- > "Hold on a second."
- > You crack open an eye.
- > "I just wanted to say... thank you Anonymous."
- > You turn back to her with a quirked brow.
- "You're welcome..."
- > You turn back around.
- > Even though it was a little strange you were this close to her right now, you didn't care.
- > All you wanted to do was sleep for now.
- > But something else niggled the back of your mind...
- > Something pleasant.
- > You had dealt with a lot of things in your life, be it the common life earth had too offer all the way to your very hectic life-style in Equestria.
- > Were you the winner?
- > No.
- > Were you perfect?
- > Never.
- > But you were definitely satisfied with yourself in the end.
- > And that's all that mattered.
