By SupahBrony300
Derek's vision seemed to return quickly. He could start to make out the hospital room he was in. He looked around and noticed a figure sitting next to him, but it was too dark to tell who it was. He lifted his hands in front of his face, and felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder.
'That's right, I was hurt by that Dregnor prick.' He thought as he studied the bandages covering his body. He looked to his left and saw a table covered in flowers and balloons. He assumed they were for him, being he was the only patient in the room. He also noticed what he was wearing.
"My armor!" Derek said in a loud whisper, trying not to wake the pony next to him. He looked around, and noticed a pile in the corner.
'How the hell?' He wondered. How did they remove his armor? Just then, the dark figure next to him stirred.
"Uuugh, what time is it?" said the figure, which Derek identified as Rainbow Dash.
Derek looked over and said,
"Top o' the mornin to ya!" in a cheesy Irish accent.
"OMYGOSH you're awake!" She yelled. She jumped and gave him a huge hug.
"Ahh, injured, pain, lack of oxygen!" Derek choked out as Rainbow Dash squeezed him.
"Oh, right sorry." She said as she blushed.
"What time is it?" Derek asked.
"It's about 2:00 am. You've been out for three days." Rainbow Dash said.
"Three days?" Derek said loudly.
"Yeah, after you passed out, I went for help. They brought you here and did surgery. I stayed the whole time." She said with a yawn.
"You stayed here, for three days?" Derek said with a surprised look.
"Yeah, you did so much to save all of us, I couldn't let you stay here alone." She said.
"That means a lot, Dash." Derek said.
"Don't mention it." She said proudly.
"So how is everyone?" Derek asked.
"They're alright. Thankfully nopony got hurt, but some of Ponyville is in ruins."
"Oh, I suppose part of that's my fault." Derek said.
"It's ok, you risked your life to save the whole town, to save me." Rainbow Dash said. "You did so much to save just me." She said as she started to tear up.
"Dash, don't cry. Losing you would wreck me, and I would rather have died fighting than to have you die." Derek said as he wiped her tears away.
"But you didn't have to take that spike for me." She said.
"Even if you wouldn't have died from it, it would have torn me apart if I let you get hurt." Derek said with a smile.
"But it tears me apart to see you hurt," Rainbow Dash said as she continued to cry.
"Don't cry, please. I was doing my job, and I will continue to do my job until you and everypony else is safe." Derek said.
"Ok, just promise me you won't ever die." Dash said.
"I promise." Derek said as Rainbow Dash wiped her eyes. "Oh and Rainbow Dash?" Derek asked.
"Yes Derek?"
"From after the fight, I love you too." He said with a small smile.
Rainbow Dash turned bright red, and was overjoyed. She gave him another light hug, then looked him right in the eyes.
"Derek, you heard me?" She said as she continued to shed tears.
"Yeah, I heard you, and it made me strong when I was weak." He said as he stared back into her eyes. Rainbow Dash lost it. She started to cry, and Derek pulled her close for another hug. He ran his fingers through her mane and let her cry into his shoulder. She then broke the hug. She looked at him with happy but tear filled eyes, and kissed him.
He leaned into her kiss, kissing her back. The two of them kissed passionately for several minutes, until they had to stop for air.
"Rainbow Dash, would you like to be my, uhh, 'Marefriend'?" Derek asked, knowing it was a little straight forward.
Rainbow Dash looked at him with wide eyes. She couldn't believe what she just heard.
'Bad idea. Abort… ABORT!' Derek screamed in his head as he tried to think of something to say to change the subject.
"Or, umm, you about that one thing…" Derek said, but Rainbow Dash cut him off.
"Derek…" She said in a surprised tone. "Of course I will!" She said as she started to kiss him again. Derek broke the kiss after a while, and said,
"I'm tired, you can go if you like."
Rainbow Dash responded by gingerly climbing up onto the bed. She lay down next to him and snuggled up next to him.
"I'll never leave." She said as she kissed him on the cheek. They fell asleep in each other's arms.
ROMANCE, WTF
Derek woke first the next morning. He looked down to his right, where Rainbow Dash was sleeping, still snuggled up close to him.
"Hey, time to wake up." Derek said as he started to move.
"Uhnugrhmmmm." Rainbow Dash mumbled as she struggled to wake up.
Derek rolled his eyes, and leaned down to her and kissed her lightly. She woke up in an instant.
"I'm up! I'm up!" She said as she stumbled out of his hospital bed. Derek stood up next to her and inspected the bandages he had. Rainbow Dash watched in awe as she saw how built Derek was. His abs were very well toned, same as the rest of his body, and he had a good tan from being in Afghanistan.
"You know, staring isn't polite, but I'll let it slide this time just because the look on your face amuses me." Derek said as he chuckled.
Rainbow Dash snapped out of it and looked at him with a face that said 'Really?'
"I think I'm good. I want to go fly, how about you?" Derek asked Rainbow Dash as he threw a shirt on.
"Yeah! That would be fun!" Rainbow Dash said as she opened the window. They both flew out and headed toward the clouds.
"Hey Rainbow Dash…" Derek said as he looked at her with a mischievous grin.
"Yeah?" She said back.
"BYE!" Derek shouted as he zoomed ahead of her.
"Oh no you don't!" She said as she accelerated to keep up. They both flew around in the clouds, doing tricks together and racing, until Derek pointed to the ground. They both went down and landed by a tree on a hill.
"Man, flying like that made my wounds sore. I gotta rest some." Derek said as he sat down against the tree. Rainbow Dash sat next to him.
"Man, I could use a dip." Derek said as he materialized a tin of Grizzly Wintergreen long cut chew.
"What the hay is that stuff?" Rainbow Dash asked as she watched him open the tin and throw a gigantic dip in.
"This stuff is called chewing tobacco. People from my world use this stuff all the time." Derek said as he set the tin down.
"What's it do?" She asked.
"Well, it gives you a bit of a buzz. It relaxes me." Derek said as he leaned back.
"Can I try some?" Rainbow Dash asked as she eyed up the tin, and the huge lump in Derek's lip.
"Uh, sure, but I don't know if you'll like it too much." Derek said as he re-packed the tin. He opened it and took a small mount out for Rainbow Dash.
"Here, I'll put it in for you." He said. He carefully placed it in Dash's lip, and she slightly gagged. "Now the trick is to not swallow it." He explained.
"So what I spit?" She said.
"Yep, that's exactly what you do." Derek said as he spit for the first time. Rainbow Dash spit, and after a few seconds, experienced the buzz.
"Whoa! It's so weird feeling!" She said as she laid back.
"Yeah, first timers get the best buzz." He said as he spit again. Usually some people throw up their first time, but you seem to be handling it pretty well." Derek said as he put the tin away.
"It tastes really weird, but it's like a good weird." She said. They couple sat there for a while, talking about random stuff, when Rainbow Dash decided to take her dip out. She spit it out, but still had some remains in her mouth.
"Gross!" She choked.
"Here." Derek said as he made a bottle of water appear. She washed her mouth out and then set the water down.
"I could take a nap right here." She said with a yawn.
"Same here." Derek said as he lay down. Rainbow Dash slowly moved over to him, and rested her head on his lap. The two of them then fell asleep under the tree.
YEA, GRIZZLY WINTERGREEN, CAUSE THAT SHIT IS DELICIOUS!
A FEW HOURS LATER…DotDotDotDotDotMcDot
Rainbow Dash woke up to the sight of Derek. He was in the same position as when he fell asleep. She watched him as he slept. He had even had a serious expression while asleep. She moved her leg once, and noticed that Derek's ears twitched.
'He is always listening.' She thought to herself with a smile. It reminded her of how he said he'd always protect her. He was always watching, always listening, always ready.
"Would you like to be my marefriend?" The thought echoed in her mind. Should she announce it to her friends? Would they judge her for it? She decided that she didn't care, and that her decision was justified. He did, after all, risk his life twice, and admitted that he would be hurt if she got hurt because of him.
Derek's eyes suddenly snapped open, and he jumped up to look around.
"What's wrong?" Rainbow Dash asked as she stood up as well.
"Somepony approaches." He said as he looked behind them. He was right. Applejack, Twilight, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity were approaching.
"Oh look, there they are!" Rarity said as she pointed to them.
"What're you two doing just sitting up here?" Applejack asked.
"We fell asleep." Rainbow Dash said.
"Well Derek shouldn't be out here, he should be back at the hospital healing." Twilight said.
"I'm fine. My powers allow me to heal faster." Derek said.
"Well, let's see the damage." said Applejack.
Derek unwrapped the bandages, revealing three large scars; one on his left should, in the middle of his chest, and one on his lower back.
"Wow, they s-sure did h-heal fast." Fluttershy said quietly.
"I don't know if the scars will ever fully heal though." Derek said as he made a shirt appear and put it on. Rarity almost fainted.
"Why were you two up here anyway?" Twilight asked.
"Well, we decided to go fly for a bit, and was just got tired so we came here and rested." Derek said.
"Really? Cause to me it looked like you two where cuddling!" Pinkie Pie said.
'And so it begins.' Derek thought to himself. Fuck it. If Dash doesn't tell, he will. He ain't scared. HE AIN'T SCURD O' NOTHIN!
"Well, er, you see, me and Derek are, well…." Rainbow Dash struggled.
"We're together." Derek plainly said with a straight face. Everyone, including Rainbow Dash, gasped at Derek's comment.
'He really is fearless' Rainbow Dash thought.
"Is that, true?" Twilight asked as she looked at Rainbow Dash.
She blushed and said quietly, "Yeah."
"YAY OMG WE HAVE TO HAVE A PARTY!" Pinkie Pie screamed as loud as she could.
"Rainbow Dash, when did this happen?" Rarity asked.
"Well, it wasn't official until early this morning." Rainbow Dash said as Derek pulled her close.
Everypony stood there with their WTF faces on, wondering what to say. It wasn't expected, but yet again it wasn't NOT expected.
"How… when…. " Twilight stammered.
"Well I think it's rather darling that these two got together." Rarity said.
"But, i-is that allowed?" Fluttershy asked.
"Who cares, he saved us all, and took three spikes just for me." Rainbow Dash said with confidence.
"Plus you followed me around like a puppy from like day one." Derek said jokingly. Rainbow Dash blushed at the remark.
"Well, I don't know, it's risky." Twilight said.
"Well, being I'm not leaving, might as well." Derek pointed out.
"Well, he is a good guy, and he does good work. I say we let 'em be together." Applejack said.
"Ok, if Applejack approves, so do I." Twilight said.
"OMGWTFBBQ WE HAVE TO PARTY!" Pinkie Pie yelled as she jumped around.
"Umm, ok?" Derek said as he watched the pink pony leap around.
'How the fuck does one pony have so much energy?' He thought to himself.
"Well, I hate to have to break this gathering up so quickly, but I have to go meditate." Derek said as he walked away.
"Kbai!" Pinkie shouted.
Derek walked away, into the woods. He came to a clearing and sat down to meditate. He sat for about 5 minutes and concentrated, and then started to see visions.
First, he saw an image of a massive army, then one of Discord. He saw Canterlot and Ponyville in flames, and Cloudsdale imploding and crashing to the ground. He also saw what he saw in his first vision, all his friends, disappearing and turning to gravestones.
"Damn!" Derek yelled with his thunder voice. He knew a storm was coming, but he had no idea how to stop it before too much damage was done. Then he thought what if he went to the temple and learned to create an army of his own? He knew how to make familiars, but familiars were weak and simple minded.
"Fuck it, I'm gonna find out how to do that." Derek said as he stood up. He sonic boomed in the direction of the temple, to find the tomb of Delvinious Masterious.
He flew as fast as he could to the temple. Once he arrived, he heard Nicholas.
"I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO DO. I MUST WARN YOU, DELVINIOUS IS A VERY DANGEROUS BEING, AND I WON'T BE ABLE TO HELP YOU IF HE ESCAPES."
"Don't worry, I have a few ideas on how to keep him in check." Derek said as he approached he tomb. He sat down and started to meditate, and in no time he was having an out of body experience, and he entered the tomb.
"Who dares disturb me!" A voice said loudly.
"I am the chosen one, Derek Yates. I have come to get some information from you." Derek said sternly.
"So be it, what wisdom do you seek?" Delvinious asked.
"I need to know how you created an army for Discord." Derek said.
"DISCORD? That slimy two-timing bastard! I will give you no such knowledge!" Delvinious said angrily.
"I wish to use it against his existing army." Derek said.
"I warn you, if I give you the knowledge, you must not make the same mistake I did. Don't fall for his mind tricks like I have. I was a fool, and I tried to reason with him. He tricked my mind, and by the time I broke his spell, I had already created an army of chaos monsters. " Delvinious said.
"And I wish to use your army creation ability to destroy him." Derek said.
"So be it , but promise me, when you destroy Discord, come to free me. I have realized my error, and I wish to be at peace." Delvinious said.
"You have my word." Derek said.
Delvinious shot a beam at Derek, giving him all the knowledge on how to create an army of intelligent beings.
"I thank you, fallen Noble." Derek said as he returned to his body. "Ok, let's try this shit." Derek said as he started to create a soldier. After a few seconds, he had a complete Army Ranger standing next to him.
"Soldier, what is your purpose here?" Derek asked in a loud voice.
"To serve and protect the occupants of Equestria to my fullest extent." Said the Ranger.
"Good. Ranger, dismissed!" Derek shouted, and the Army Ranger disappeared.
"Now to practice making them by the hundreds." Derek said as he took off, heading back to Ponyville.
Derek touched down outside Sweet Apple Acres. He walked up to the barn, and found Applejack doing chores.
"Hey Applejack, you know any good places to make a house?" Derek asked.
"Well yea sugarcube, there's room just outside the town, its kind of on a hill, and I know you'll love the spot." She said as she turned to him.
"And why is that?" Derek asked.
"Cause it's relatively close to Rainbow Dash's house." Applejack said with a large smile.
"I suppose I set myself up for that one." Derek said with a small grin.
"It's just so hard to believe. She's been in relationships before, but they always ended with the stallion walking out. I think it's cause her spirit is too free. You strangely suit her. You look well behaved and serious, but yet you're competitive and a jokester, just like her." Applejack said as she sorted apples.
"I noticed that she took a liking to me. Ever since the first day I was here, she seemed to notice my personality." He said as he paced around the barn.
"Well, I think you're a mighty fine fit for her. Now go build your house, so you don't have to keep sleeping in the barn." Applejack said as she shooed Derek out of the barn.
He went to the spot she told him about, and created a house instantly with his mind.
"That'll do." He said proudly as he entered his new crib.
THAT NIGHT
Derek finished placing furniture in his house.
"Damn, it's hard work even when you have superpowers." He said as he changed his Noble armor from regular clothes to just boxers and a wife beater shirt. Just then, he heard a noise outside, and went to investigate.
"Hello? Who's out here?" Derek said. No response.
'Alright, I'll just listen to see who it is.' Derek thought. He sat there and listened for a few seconds. He shook his head and chuckled.
"I know it's you, Rainbow Dash." He said with a smile.
"Darn it! How'd you know?" She asked as she appeared from behind a cloud and swooped down.
"Super hearing." Derek said as he pointed to his ear. "Well, what're you waiting for? Come on in!" Derek said welcomingly as he waved her in.
"I was just curious about your new place." She said sheepishly.
"You do realize that you could come in at any time right? I mean, we are dating after all." Derek said, which made Rainbow Dash stop for a second.
She still couldn't believe it. She never thought that someone like Derek, a Human from another world, would be so open about their relationship.
"So, what did you want to see that you were so curious about?" Derek asked.
"Oh, uh, heh heh, umm…" She said as she looked around for an excuse.
"Oh, just can't bear the thought of being away from me." Derek said with a stupid grin.
"Well…." Rainbow Dash said.
"Yea…." Derek said as he walked to the kitchen. He reached up and pulled out some Jack Daniels.
"What's that stuff?" Rainbow Dash asked as she watched him take out a glass.
"This is like Applejack's hard cider, but about ten times stronger." Derek said as he poured some in the glass and downed it. "Ahh, that's good shit."
"Can I try some?" She asked.
"Sure, but not too much, don't want you making any advances on me again now do we?" Derek joked.
"Who knows, maybe I'll do that without being drunk now." Rainbow Dash said in a seductive voice.
"….uh….yea…" Derek said, surprised at her comment. He handed her the glass, and she took a sip.
"Whoa, that kinda burns!" She said as she coughed.
"It'll do that." Derek said as he took a huge drink straight from the bottle.
AN HOUR AND A FEW DRINKS LATER…
"Geez, I feel kind of tipsy." Rainbow Dash said.
"Yeah, I feel ya." Derek said as he put the near empty bottle away. "Y-you good to fly?" Derek slurred slightly.
"I don't think so, I'm having issues standing." Rainbow Dash said as she leaned against the table.
"You can have the bed; I'll t-take the couch." Derek said as he wobbled over to the couch.
"Oh, come on. Just come sleep with me. I won't try anything, I p-promise." Rainbow Dash pleaded.
"Ugh, ok, but don't try anything f-funny." Derek said as he started walking to the bedroom. He changed his armor so that all he had was boxers, and Rainbow Dash took in the sight.
She watched from behind as he stretched. She stared at his rippling muscles, his dark tan, and his scars. She noticed something she hadn't before, a cutie mark looking thing on his upper right arm.
"W-whats that?" She said as she attempted to point at his tattoo.
"This is a tattoo of t-the Army Ranger." He said as he turned to her.
Her eyes widened as she looked at his abs, which were well toned and looked rock hard. She looked at his chest, noticing the scars on his chest and shoulder. She then noticed a necklace looking thing around his neck.
"What about that?" She said.
"T-these are my dog tags, they s-serve as identification if I were to die." He said as he sat down on the bed.
Rainbow Dash was drunk enough to think too hard about that statement and started crying.
"Hey, hey, why you crying?" Derek asked as he turned and saw her with tears in her eyes.
"Please don't die!" She cried.
"No, no! I didn't mean I was going to, I meant back in my world that's w-what we used them for." He said. Rainbow Dash continued to cry slightly, and Derek leaned toward her and gave her a hug.
"I p-promise I won't die." He said as he hugged her. He broke the hug and laid down on the bed. Rainbow Dash did the same, and she scooted up to Derek and wrapped her legs around him. He looked with a smile, and kissed her.
"Goodnight, Rainbow Dash." He said as he turned the lights off.
"Night." He heard her say right before he fell asleep.
DAWWWWWWWW LOL
