Hey, guys welcome to the first major upload of the month which will happen on the first of every month! I am for once letting my ADHD out of its restraints which means I will type whatever is on my mind and make up new stories whenever they pop up! so be warned I could post like let's say 10 chapters for one story one month but type none the next month for said story! the only stories that will certainly have chapters every month will be Equestrian Ranger and Derpy Sunrise. Equestrian Ranger because it is a story I am making alongside a friend I would gladly call my brother in all but blood and Derpy Sunrise due to the fact it is a story request by someone I would call a friend as well!
now then at the moment, i am currently unemployed which is why all these chapters were uploaded today because I have had a lot of time on my hands. although I did take a few days from typing to play video games lets get back on track! point being I would just like to remind everyone that I am an IMPROVE WRITER! meaning I barely plan any of my writing besides major events and ideas that just pop up in my head that very same day I am typing up the chapters!
so please bear with me here as I upload chapters every month instead of when I have them finished. since its a new year, and a partially new me, I try to respond to all reviews and all PM's that I get and since in the beginning I despised being flamed I am all for it now as it would help me improve my writing!
there are a few regrets I do have such as the halo & my little pony crossovers on my account as they were a prime time I didn't reign in my ADHD well enough... another reason is the only story I have ever adopted and attempted to continue writing only to utterly fail... the story called Becoming a Wonderbolt. regardless of the follows and dislikes it has I know I have utterly failed just trying to continue the story and if someone doesn't adopt it there is a small chance, and I mean a very small, chance that I will retry continuing it.
well... now that I have all of that off of my chest I got one last thing to say! uploads will start United State's, Oak Harbor, Ohio time at noon exactly every month so you all have a time frame of when I start uploading. I will upload new stories first every time so I can quickly convert any chapters I have over the 50 document limit and prepare them quickly for upload before uploading rewrites and new chapters for current stories. I will try to rewrite all of my My Little Pony stories, except for the ones to do with Halo, so I hope you can all bear with me... i wish you all good luck and know I am on Fanfiction constantly so if you ever need to ask anything don't be afraid to PM me or leave a review although I might be late seeing reviews as I check my emails every couple days which I am trying to turn into a daily thing.
have a good one everyone! LONG LIVE THE HERD!
I stood breathing heavily... my katana covered in dripping blood just like the rest of my armor... I stood in the town square with buildings burning all around me. I was surrounded on all sides as I looked to my left and right... my own family butchered all around me in an endless fight. Cut down one by one before their own bodies were desecrated further. "well boy..." the large man stepped forward. Known as the king of death for all those he has killed. Even though he wasn't given the death sentence. "guess you're as good as dead... you could try to keep fighting but seriously you won't get far... am I right boys!" all around us loud cheers sounded off.
The town was on an isolated island that stayed behind in the technological advances. Believing evolving with better technology would cause war and that it did. My family protected the Emperor ever since they came to power. They were a kind family and my clan proved itself time and time again by upholding the law and sending those who did the absolute worse to prison.
The life sentence was proven to be more common than a death sentence to the point that the kind royal family no longer wanted to have people killed anymore... because of this soon the prisoners revolted and killed off any clan member who got in their way with my own clan.
My arm was cut off during the large battle here in time Square. Thankfully it was my least dominant arm but it still proved almost fatal to me since I could no longer use my sheath and blade style to its fullest. I held my blade before flicking it to my right. Sending the blood on it onto the ground and mixing with the blood of friend and foe around me. I sheathed my blade as I growled through my mask. " I may be killed today Death!" I yelled as it was the only name the man went by nowadays. "but ill at least be taking you with me!" he gave a loud laugh as he charged me with many other prisoners charging me as well. I began to charge towards Death as I ducked and weaved the weapons until they began to clip me. Cutting into my armor as I was stabbed in the back but I kept on going... adrenaline running through my veins as I soon reached death. "Laido!" I yelled as the blade met his body... and a flash of light occurred as he was cut in half...
I stumbled forward in the light until I fell to my knees with a clatter. I was breathing heavily and I could feel that my bleeding was no longer as bad as it was before. I suspected I had an hour if I kept on bleeding like I was before I went unconscious from blood loss. Using my blade I pushed myself up against the wall as I looked at the state of my own armor.
Surprisingly it looked like it hasn't gone through a battle at all. My left arm was still missing but the wound looked like it was done bleeding and had already scabbed over somehow. I looked at my surroundings and found I was currently leaning against a crystal hall... looking around I soon figured I was either in a mansion or a castle with how the way things looked. I soon hear movement coming from in front of me that I rushed to the door in front of me and closed it until there was only a crack. "... in here would they?"
"they wouldn't dare risk coming in... not as long as we have a knife to the princesses throat..."
"won't they figure out what the king ordered us to do?" I soon saw the ones who were talking as I stared at them in shock... they were anthro's... from what I knew about them. They were brown with white eagle heads. They also had wings on their backs and had claws for hands along with their body looking to be covered with feathers... and don't forget the beak... griffons if I remembered the legends correctly.
They seemed to be dressed just like ninja's would considering I saw them often enough trying to assassinate high valued targets on the island. Although we never found who organized and trained them when they were dispatched. One of my own brothers became a ninja to help us locate criminals. "they won't if you keep talking about him! We just can't leave any trail. Once the unicorn we hired finishes with the teleportation gate we will have to lay low for a few weeks before bringing our prize to him... although he never said in what condition." they began to laugh as they walked further down the halls. I opened the door as they soon disappeared down the hall. I closed the door as I looked around the room and attempted to figure out where I was. Soon founding I was in a library I started to walk around and found their language was the same as my own. I found a book on the history of Equestria. I guessed it was the name of the country I was in grabbing it with my only arm I walked over to the nearby table and sat down founding that the chairs thankfully held me up as I wore my armor. Putting the book down I began to skim read it for any important information that caught my eye.
After 10 minutes I found what I figured out what I needed to know at the moment to make my decision. Putting the book back where I found it I walked over to the door and creaked it open a little. The only problem I had at the moment was that I had no idea of where to go to find the princess. I looked to the right and left of the halls until I closed the door and started to take a few deep breaths. Preparing myself for having to end several more lives... maybe more... before I opened the door and went straight into what I would have thought was a brick wall until I backed up to see that it wasn't... but another myth come to life.
A Minotaur.
He looked down at me before he began to laugh. "wherein the name of king Golden Grip did you find that ridiculous armor?!" he began to laugh loudly in a deep tone as I held in my rage inside. My red and black armor were known to be quite popular in the clan considering it was made of obsidian and hardened ruby. A gift was given to me by the Empress herself. To insult it was to insult one of the kind rulers of my home that I gripped the handle tightly. "wait a minute..." he stopped laughing as I tensed up. "wasn't there something I was supposed to ask you and for you to answer me?"
"I believe so... why don't you say you're saying before I end up having to kill you?" I said in a deadly tone as he began to sweat.
"u-u-um..." he started.
"I'm waiting..." I started slowly pulling a little bit of my katana from its sheath.
"now I remember! Hawks poach whatever they can get away with... now your turn." I smiled at his idiocy. "well?"
"very well then..." I appeared behind him in a burst of speed that surprised myself. "your death comes swift..."
"that's... not... it..." he began to slowly come apart as my blade finished entering my sheath. The body fell forwards into the room as I looked sadly at the fallen body. He seemed to be a nice guy... just put with the wrong crowd...
I closed the door after wiping the blood off of the blade before I started to slowly traverse the halls. My body was working at peak efficiency but at the moment I was still severally wounded on my back... I suspected another 20 minutes until I would be unconscious so I must work fast." I continued to evade the small patrols until I began to hear yelling. I hurried my pace as I hid in a room and heard running all throughout the halls.
Then I began to hear yelling coming from the balcony as I walked over to it. Keeping myself hidden I looked outside to see the castle surrounded by ponies in golden, silver, and crystal armor surrounding the castle. I could also see the three princesses behind the large army of guards. "either you call him out or we kill the princess!" and apparently the book I had was outdated... from what I know there are only supposed to be three princesses.
"we have nopony in the castle!" the white colored princess, princess Celestia yelled. "please believe us!"
"boss..." a Minotaur started as the griffon looked at him enraged. "the cut appeared to not have been made with an Equestrian blade..." the griffon looked angered as he and the Minotaur conversed in whispers that I could just barely hear.
"if it wasn't made by an Equestrian blade what kind of blade could have made it?" the griffon asked in anger.
"that's the thing boss we have no idea. Could have been one of the other mercenary's that killed him in a fit of rage or wanted a bigger pay." I could tell the griffon was mentally cursing as I pondered revealing myself to the ponies secretly. Deciding it was a bad idea I began to listen some more. "double the guards on the princess in the dungeons, decrease the number of patrols, and lastly tell the damn unicorn to hurry the hell up!" so I at least knew where I should go for the princess. I prepared myself to leave until I heard a blade be unsheathed as I quickly drew my own blade causing a loud clang.
Looking at my adversary I found it was a zebra with a shaved head with a calm look on his face. "a one-armed pony..." he said as I noticed he wielded a one and a half foot long dagger. "who would have guessed."
"I am not a pony..." he rolled his eyes as he jumped back.
"sure you aren't..." he pulled out another dagger as he got into a combat stance. "regardless..." he dashed towards me. "give me a good fight!" I quickly brought up my blade as he jumped up towards me. Sparks flew from my silver blade as I pushed back. He only proceeded to use my push to jump behind me to where I just barely caught off of the blades coming at me with my own while ducking to avoid the second. In an honorable duel I would have fought fairly... but at the moment it was not honorable...
so I spun around on my legs and swept his legs out from under him only for him to land on his hands and flip backward onto his feet as he jumped at me again. His blades caught my own as I pushed back as we were held in a power struggle. " you're strong for a pony... well versed in blades to... oh yeah... your my favorite fight so far this week!" he jumped into the air as he threw his two blades at me. Quickly flipping my grip I deflected both of the blades into the floor as they bounced off of it harmlessly as I was rushed by him in an opening he created. I attempted to jump back but found myself behind the couch in the room as he jumped on top of it. "well that was disappointing Well alls well that ends well." he jumped up and flipped around until his hooves touched the ceiling as he jumped towards me.
Time slowed down as I noticed one of his thrown daggers under the couch. I let go of my blade as I quickly grabbed the dagger and stabbed up as he gave a loud war cry. No doubt alerting the griffon and Minotaur in the lower balcony.
Thankfully the blades missed my helmeted head as he gasped out and spewed blood all over my helmet. Thankfully none of it got into my mouth or eyes as he stumbled off of me. I slowly stood up as I watched him slowly back up to the balcony as my eyes widened on what he planned to do. "that was a good fight... pony..." he coughed up blood again as I grabbed my blade and prepared to bolt. "but by the end of the day... I know you'll still be dead..." I began to run as he reached the railing on the balcony... before he fell straight off of it.
