A note from Selskia

This Fanfic was based on an RP that me and my friend, Klein, took part in. It starts out really funny and lighthearted, almost no storyline, but later on, it gets more dramatic, romantic, and more serious. Be forewarned, this has magic in it. And Klein doesn't really write much, he's just my technical editor/helper

Mystic Destiny Chapter One-Meetings

BOOM!

The last attacking MT burst into thousands of flaming pieces, the remainder of the attack force diminished. The blood-red AC put down its gun arm and boosted back towards the building it was defending.

Mission Status: Complete Reward: 50,000 credits

Inside the AC, Klein shook his head. This mission was too easy and waaay overpaid.

"Vengeance, damage report please"

A diagram appeared overhead, showing the AC.

All systems normal

"Good."

He boosted up and away from the small city, and towards the wide expanse of desert that the area was famous for. He had never spent much time on Earth, but nothing could match the glory of a desert sunset. He looked up at a hawk flying overhead, watching him carefully. The brown hawk let out a screech, and in the background, he could hear the sound of metal hitting metal. Wait a second, metal hitting metal?

Klein turned around, only to discover a girl sitting idly in the back of his cockpit, with one of the many wrenches he had floating in midair, banging against the delicate machinery of his AC. Floating!?!?

To say the least, Klein was shocked. He paused for a second, searching for something to say, and then asked quite angrily.

"Who are you and what do you want from me?!"

Of course, most of the time, when someone was in such a spot, they had been trying to kill him. But nobody ever sent young teenage girls with long silver hair for assassination attempts.

The girl looked up at him, a golden horn protruding from the soft, silvery curls on her forehead. She deftly caught the floating wrench and stood, hooves clanking against the steel flooring. No, the mysterious girl didn't pull out a gun and shoot him, nor did she shoot some weird beam of energy at him, and she didn't blow up his AC either, as Klein expected. No, she simply ran over to him and tried to kiss him on the cheek.

He ducked away, backing into the safety of a corner.

"Who the heck are you!?!?"

The girl simply giggled and disappeared, reappearing outside in full view of the screen. She smiled and pointed a finger at his AC and snapped her fingers beside her head with the other hand.

Caution: System overheating Temperature: 312 degrees and rising

"What!?!?"

Klein ran back to the console and franticly pushed several buttons, causing an overhead to appear. On it, the entire diagram of the Vengeance was red. Overheating. Klein looked back down at the girl far below. She was laughing. What did she do to his AC!?!?

A red light flashed beside him, beeping for attention. He pressed it, watching as the engine temperature meter went higher...and higher...and higher...

At the same time, even with the insulation, the cockpit was getting warm. Too warm. Within seconds, he was sweating.

Caution: Engine temperature reaching melting point

He looked back down at the girl again. She was still laughing. Suddenly, she disappeared again and reappeared floating beside the Plexiglas window in front of him. Using her finger, she wrote some words on the now foggy screen.

Isn't it hot in there?

Klein looked back down at the console, punching more buttons, trying to activate the cooling systems. Obviously, it wasn't working. The meter was still rising, not even pausing for his efforts. He banged his fist against the Plexiglas, right over the girl.

"Well, of course it is, idiot. STOP THIS AT ONCE!"

Outside, the girl smiled, pointed a finger at the AC, and snapped her fingers again. Immediately, the temperature began to drop back to normal.

"Vengeance, damage report?"

Engine failure Generator failure Circuitry failure All other systems not detected

Great. Just great. His AC was crippled, pretty much dead. And this little girl, years younger than he was, with astonishing powers was the cause. The girl popped back in, smiling.

"By the way, my name's Selskia."

He turned around, slipped his pistol out of his jacket, and pointed it at the girl's head, finger steady on the trigger.

"Selskia, do you have any idea what you just did? You ruined my AC, melted the engines, and tried to kiss me. What do you have to say about that?"

She simply smiled again.

"Don't make me shoot..."

She simply sat smiling.

He hesitated and then pulled the trigger. Even he didn't enjoy taking a woman's life. But there was no crack of gunshot. Instead, a single bubble shot out of his pistol, Selskia giggling all the while.

"WHAT!?!?"

He fired again. More bubbles. Selskia was still laughing. Then, all of a sudden, she stopped and spoke.

"Guns aren't very nice..."

She snapped her fingers again, pointing at the gun. Immediately, it started to melt, smoking in his hand. He yelped, dropping the half pistol- shaped blob of molten plastic and steel, clutching at his burnt hand. He recovered within seconds, no sign of any pain and no mark on his hand. He clenched his fists, and let them go again. Knowing the girl, she would probably do something even worse to him if he tried to do anything. Instead, he sat back down in his chair, head in his hands, muttering. "This is just one of those days..."

End Part I

The horned girl sat down in the back of his cockpit, fiddling with some wrenches, as well as a few random circuit boards. Klein, however, was pacing the small cockpit of the AC, mumbling to himself.

"The engines are gone...The generators too...All because one little girl found me...AND WHY THE HELL DOES SHE HAVE MAGIC!?!? Everyone knows it doesn't exist...Now I'm finished, might as well leave...But I can't just leave my AC here..."

Selskia looked up at that moment, eyes innocent as always. She smiled sweetly and asked a simple question.

"Do you want to play?"

Klein looked at the girl. How could she ask such a question at a time like this? He answered quite angrily, with a very sarcastic smirk on his face.

"Well, look. I'm stranded here with my useless AC. I was just fine until YOU came a long. Fat lot of help you did. And now you ask if I want to PLAY?!"

The girl looked quite stunned for a second, and then tears started to well up in her eyes. She stood up now with anger lacing every word she said.

"You hate me, don't you? No one likes me. No one cares. Go away then. Leave. LEAVE!"

She looked around at the AC around her and snapped a finger.

At that moment, Klein, knowing the disastrous effects that a simple snap could have, ejected. As he was flying out in the air, he realized what a stupid mistake he had made, leaving his AC alone with the girl. Landing on a nearby cliff, he could still see his AC quite clearly. It looked...Smeared together, was the best way to describe it. It took him a second before he realized what was happening.

"NOOOOOO!!!!! My AC!!!!! Vengeance!!!!!"

He ran back towards the smoldering and melting AC. He was quite a bit away from it, so by the time he reached it, the remains of the once proud AC was a twisted hunk of steel. Sitting near its base, was Selskia.

"You stupid @#$%&!"

He was yelling by now, of course. Who wouldn't, with their AC reduced to a blob in the matter of minutes?

The girl simply looked up at him. And smiled.

"You want your AC back? Here."

She snapped a finger. All of a sudden, the AC was just there. Sitting there in perfect condition, like the day he first got it. Klein just stopped ranting and stared. Then he turned back to Selskia with a look of amazement and annoyance.

"Why didn't you do that in the first place!?!?"

The girl giggled, and then tilted her head innocently.

"I didn't think you cared..."

Then she stood up and snapped a finger. Instantly, instead of being outside the AC, Klein found himself and the girl inside the cockpit. A bit bewildered by the sudden change of scenery, Klein promptly toppled over from the one inch drop to the floor. Getting up, he looked at Selskia.

"Next time, warn me when you do that."

"Ok!"

Then, the unicorn-like girl tried to kiss him again.

"AUGHHH!!!!!"

He backed into his chair like a frightened rabbit, as Selskia calmly sat down again.

"And don't do that!"

Selskia, however, paid no mind to his words and was already fiddling with a toolbox she had found. Klein was looking over all the parts and typing furiously on the keyboard.

"Vengeance, damage report please."

Under his breath, he added "If you're even there..."

All systems normal

Klein stared at the words on the screen, and then looked back at Selskia.

"How the heck did you do that?"

Selskia simply smiled, then returned to the tools which were now having a small battle in the back of his cockpit, many of them dented and bent.

"Now, back to the Raven's Nest...Should be straight up, if my calculations are correct..."

"Really? Here..."

Selskia dropped the various tools hanging in the air (the screwdrivers were winning at this point) and stood up, her fingers, poised to snap.

"No! Wait!"

The girl stopped, looking slightly confused. She always loved teleporting around. It was fun. And it scared people too.

"And why shouldn't I teleport us up there?"

"First of all, I enjoy the ride up there. Second of all, you didn't tell me you were about to teleport. Fortunately, I know that you snap your fingers before doing that. And last of all, there is no 'us'."

"You hate me, don't you...?"

She frowned and snapped her fingers. Klein's shirt caught on fire, beginning right under the collar. Instantly, Klein stopped, dropped, and rolled, putting out the small fire. There was a hole roughly the size of his hand on his shirt though. He sighed.

"Return it back to normal, would you? And no, I don't hate you. You're simply an annoyance who I would be better off not knowing."

She seemed satisfied, at least. With another snap, his shirt was back to the way it was. Klein looked at her again, and then slumped back in the chair.

"Fine, fine. Have it your way. You can take us up to the Raven's Nest. Save the environment, at least."

Selskia smiled yet again. She nodded quickly, like a hyperactive young 4 year-old, and snapped her fingers again. Klein, watching the view screen, saw that they had reappeared inside the garage and Vengeance was already docked, ready for him to leave. He opened the hatch and took a step out into the 78 degree air, looking around again. He had a slight smile on his face now, barely noticeable, but there.

"Home, sweet home..."
