HEY GUYS! I'm pretty sure everypony has watched the season finale. When I watched it, I kept thinking, "What if somepony didn't support the coronation?" Well that's what this fic is about. Meet Xero. My OC. He's a creator is his own unique mind. He's also very pessimistic. He's a white unicorn, purple eyes, semi-built, with a black mane, in which he keeps in a faux hawk. His cutie mark is a digital "X". So keep that in mind as you read this fic.
Disclaimer: I do not own any characters except my oc. All pony related things belong to HASBRO, The HUB, etc. etc. etc.
Chapter 1: Honest Opinion of the Coronation.
Today. Twilight's coronation day. Another "important" day for both her, and Equestria. Most ponies are excited to get to the ceremony. Others can't believe she's hasn't been crowned sooner.
Not me.
This coronation is a pure waste of time. It would just give my bosses something to brag about. Twilight Velvet and Night Light. I work for them in a planetarium. Oh, Celestia how I despise them so. Every time they talk, I want to commit suicide. It's like, they insult me by asking me questions they know answers to, like "Does your family have any relatives with royalty?". What the hell do you think?
Anyways, it's bad enough that their son is a prince. They would not shut up. "My son's a prince" this and "we're so proud of him" that. Just the thought of what they'll say….I can't even fathom that.
It was seven in the morning. I was up getting dressed for this "momentous occasion", as Sparkle's parents described it. I had to dress in my Royal Guard uniform. Apparently, soldiers and veterans just had to be there. When I finished getting my uniform on, I heard a knock on my door. And boy was I glad to see the pony behind it.
"Why hello there, Master Sergeant Xero."
It was my best friend. Her name is Celestial Swirl. I call her Swirl for short. She, like myself, is a veteran. Her silky white mane shined brightly, complementing her pink eyes. She is a pink unicorn, and her cutie mark is the northern lights, but they are blue, shaped in a heart.
"Good morning Sergeant Swirl." I responded with a salute. This caused her to giggle.
"You ready to go?" She asked, giving me a hug.
"Yeah," I responded. "Give me a sec…." I said grabbing my things. You know, wallet, knife, and basic stuff.
As we were trotting down the street, we started talking about the coronation, and if it's for the greater good of Equestria.
"So….I'm guessing you don't support the coronation?" She asked me.
I smiled at her. "You know me so well."
"Might I ask why?"
"Velvet and Light."
"Well that figures." She huffed. "Why do you put up with those jerks?"
I sighed as I looked down. "It's not like I have a choice. I want to keep my job, although I could easily find another."
"Oh….well that still doesn't give them the right to ridicule you like that, it's inhumane."
"There's nothing I can do about that." I told her. "Like Celestia would do any damn thing about it anyway."
"You're right….." she said with a sound of defeat. I put my hoof on her shoulder.
"Don't worry about it. I'll be fine." I assured her.
"Okay…."
Swirl is a real friend. She is the only one who notices the Sparkle family's mistreatment towards me. She's the only one who actually cares, and I love her for that…
Royal Canterlot Castle- Coronation Ceremony- 11:00 a.m.
At this point, everypony were scattering like ants trying to get to their proper seat. Swirl and I were sitting in the VIP section, where most of the upper class people sat. And guess who we had the wonderful pleasure of sitting by? My bosses. At least Swirl was sitting by me.
The ceremony went under way. And on cue, Velvet gave way to tears. The princess began her speech.
We are gathered here today in celebration of a momentous occasion…"Awwwww…good God…this sucks…" I thought. Why the hell was I even here….
But today, Twilight Sparkle did something extraordinary….
"Blah, Blah, Blah….I really don't care." I continued to say to myself.
Fillies and gentlecolts, may I present for the very first time, Princess Twilight Sparkle!
Could you believe that they wrote a song for her?
The Princess Twilight Cometh, behold, behold…Oh my god….this…is torture.
Then her highness decides to speak.
A little while ago, my teacher and mentor Princess Celestia sent me to live in Ponyville.
Why don't you stay there then?
Today, I consider myself the luckiest pony in Equestria. Thank you, friends. Thank you, everypony!
And the crowd went wild. What fools.
Later that night…The castle was CROWDED that night. There was a huge feast dedicated to this mare. We sat near the guests of honor and her friends and family. Everything went well, Swirl and me were talking amongst us seated near the royals.
"Look at them. Enjoying the public attention they're receiving from the Elite. It's pissing me off." I told Swirl.
"Don't let that bother you." She told me. "It'll only be for like a week or so."
"May I have everypony's attention?" I heard Night Light's voice. The room quickly ceased of noise.
"Good Grief…" I said with despair. Hearing them talk was the last thing I wanted to do today.
"I would like to take a moment, to say how proud I am of my children," he started.
Luna, kill me now.
"I would never expect my children to become so successful," he continued.
"Bullshit." I said quite loudly, causing several ponies to look in my direction. Swirl looked at me with a shocked expression.
"However I do believe they would become a better being that some ponies…" he spoke as he looked at me in a way to let me know he was mocking me.
"Oh, what a little bitch. I swear." I said, a little louder than intended; loud enough for everyone to hear me in the already silent room. Swirl face-hoofed.
You wouldn't believe the number of looks I received.
"I'm sorry," Shining Armor said, standing up. "Would you like to repeat that?"
"Xero don't-"
"Oh, absolutely." I responded happily. "Your father is a little bitch."
The other ponies started to murmur in pure disbelief. The four princesses, my bosses, and the bearers of the elements of harmony all had angered looks on their faces. But I was just getting started.
"Hey! What's your problem, buddy?" One of the bearers, Rainbow Dash, shouted.
"Yeah, you big meanie!" Another bearer, this time Pinkie, agreed.
A smile came across my face. "My problem? My problem? My problem is that the ponies of lower qualifications and intelligence are overtaking this society. That's my bucking problem."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Celestia said.
"Simple." I started. "Let's start with Velvet and Night Light. You two are the vilest ponies who ever trotted on this land. You think you are so much better than those around you. But you're not. You always have to say stuff to make yourselves look good. You don't know how sick you make me. I would love to just grab a knife, and stab you both in the stomach, so I can watch you guts spill on the floor."
My bosses just sat there with their mouths agape.
"Now, turning to the princesses. What the hell do you even do? It seems all you two ever do is sit on your fat Asses all day. Raising and lowing the sun and the moon doesn't count as work. Anypony can do such."
Celestia raised an eyebrow, while Luna was fuming with rage.
"Celestia, how do you even live with yourself? You are the most pathetic monarch in Equestria. Hell, Queen Chrysalis is a better ruler than you!"
Everypony gasped.
"At least she gets shit done herself instead of relying on other ponies!" I continued. "Every time Equestria is in peril, you'd pussy out and have Twilight solve your problems. What do you have going on that's SO important that you can't save Equestria? NOTHING! You're nothing but a coward."
Celestia glared at me.
"And let's not forget about the newest disappointment added to this mix. Twilight, let's face it. You don't deserve to where that crown on that empty head of yours. You were crowned just for learning about 'friendship'. That's pure bullshit! That doesn't prepare you for ruling over an entire kingdom! The only reason you, and Shining Armor for that matter, have been crowned, is because you guys have one thing some people don't."
"And what might that be?" Twilight asked.
"Resources." I answered.
"What does that supposed to mean?" Shining Armor spoke up.
I laughed. "It means your parents spent years kissing the ass of the Canterlot Elite, just so they could have higher connections. They are not proud of you for becoming a princess. They just want another excuse to brag about themselves."
Twilight Velvet and Night Light shared a look of shock.
"My parents would never do such a thing!" Twilight snapped.
I raised an eyebrow. "You can believe what you want, you incompetent little foal. If you didn't have the connections that you have now, you would be sitting in the crowd watching someone else being crowned. You sitting on the throne are like sticking a fork in an electrical socket. Learning about friendship doesn't make you worthy of watching over an entire kingdom. You're just a slave to ponykind. A mere tool used to make you parents look good. That's all you'll ever be. So just stick to keeping yourself secluded in the library. That seems like the only thing you'll ever be good at. That's probably the reason Celestia sent you to Ponyville."
"Okay that's enough." Swirl nudged me. I saw tears welling up in Twilights eyes.
"Think about it. The only time Celestia ever contacted you, was when she wanted you to save Equestria. You really are a tool."
"Xero!" Swirl shouted. Twilight's lip started to quiver.
"And in case all of you were wondering why I don't bow down during the coronation," I shouted. "It's because I have standards, the kind that tells me not to stoop that low."
Twilight just sat there, tears freely flowing down her cheeks. She just stared down. The element of Honesty, Applejack, went to check on her friend.
"Hey Twi, are you-"
"Excuse me…." Twilight got up and bolted out of the room, her gentle weeps could be clearly heard. Everypony stared at me. I smiled happily, knowing I've gotten my point across.
On cue, Twilight's friends and family rushed out of the room to console her. The only ones remaining were Celestia and Luna.
"Well I'm done here." I said plainly. I got up and turned to leave, but a flash of light blinded me, and I found myself facing her.
"What do you want?" I asked her.
"This will NOT go unpunished." She growled. She then followed her sister to search for her upset student.
"OOOOOOHHHHHHH I'm scared! What a bitch." I said as I left. Swirl followed me quickly.
Outside…"WHAT THE HELL, XERO?!" Swirl was shouting hysterically at me.
I gave her a friendly nudge. "I just got my point across, that's all."
"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THEY'LL DO TO YOU?!"
"Should I care?"
"YES!"
I could tell that she was really concerned. "You're over reacting."
"You're taking this too lightly! Geez I hope she's lenient on you."
"What do I have to worry about?" I asked.
She glared at me. "After what you said, it'll be best to watch your back."
"Oh lighten up. I'll be fine. I promise." I hugged her.
"I hope so….I really hope so…."
We continued to trot around, talking. Then I decided to walk her home. After we parted ways I headed back to my place. When I trotted in, I flopped on my bed, and stared at the ceiling, thinking excitedly about the punishment Celestia had in store for me.
I'm not all that happy with this chapter…It could've been better…anyways the next chapter will be better. Please don't flame. And don't suggest me to read your fic in the reviews. PM me for that. Read and Review! Dino, OUT!
