Chapter Ten: Armored Little Weaklings
Yesterday was fun, who knew that shit on the Dog Whisperer worked but there are rules in the universe and you just have to go with it. I did the same thing I always do in the morning; get out of the hammock, brush my teeth blah, blah, blah. If you couldn't tell by now I get bored easily. "I wish something interesting happens." Back on Earth I believed in some things that people saw as crazy, like giving an opening thing, there are some words that you shouldn't say and if you do the universe comes in and makes you its bitch and trust me it makes you its bitch.
"Is some pony inside? I have a message for Sergio." I love my sharp hearing, got me out of some sticky situations back on Earth.
"Yeah I'll be right there." I walked down the stairs and to the front door when I opened it I was met with my favorite wall eyed mare, Ditzy.
"HI!" Ditzy said in her bubbly tone, "I have a letter for you." She hoofed me the letter.
"Thanks Ditzy also here's a little something for you." I reach around my back and out came a freshly baked muffing. Ditzy's eyes went wide and she gladly took a bite out of it.
"Blueberry? How did you know that was my favorite flavor of muffin?" I just shrugged because it was the luck of the draw.
"I'm just that good." I might be modest but sometimes I can self-indulge. Can I?
"Well I have to deliver so more mail also thanks for the muffin." I just nodded and she flew off to finish the rest of her delivers.
I opened up the letter without much thought but I found that it was an invite for the Grand Galloping Gala; the invite itself was golden giving of a shine that could blind anypony… wait… did I just say anypony? I was just looking at the invite in all its glory but as soon as my mind got tired of looking at it I was set back to my boredom that noes no bounds. "I know I could play some MvC3 that always gets my mind off my boredom." I got out my controller and sat on the couch with the big screen T.V. facing it and hopped right into an online fight only to get my ass handed to me. "Well that could have been better." I said to myself. "Well might as well go outside and do something with Chibi, like go for a walk or something like that." I went back into my room and found that Chibi was still asleep, I look over to the clock that was mounted on a pillar of clouds and it read eight-forty.
"Hey Chibi, it's time to wake up." I gently nudged him to wake him, it work for Chibi let out a small yet cute yawn. "Chibi do you want to go for a walk?" whatever sleepiness he had was instantly gone and replaced with cheerful barks and a tail wag. Chibi and I walked out the door and into town to find something to do and we found something alright.
"Watch as the Great and Powerful Trixie perform magical feats never before seen by pony eyes!" I walked over to a crowd of ponies who looked displeased with whoever it was on stage. I made my way to the front and found a azure colored pony with a silver colored mane, her cutie mark, did I say that right… yea I did, was a crescent moon with a wand that at a star shape at the end. The pony did small tricks which were a bit lack luster to say the least and she rambled on about defeating a scorpion type creature by herself, the crowd didn't believe her but she showed proof by showing us the tail of the scorpion, which instantly put most of the ponies back in there place. "I have a challenge for anypony. If they can beat The Great and Powerful Trixie in a magic off they will receive something from me." Not a lot of ponies went up and the few that went got there asses handed to them but what's worse was the bragging that followed suet but behind all that she was hiding something.
"I challenge you." I said everypony in the crowd turned and looked at me with a bit of surprise in their eyes but Trixie wasn't impressed at all.
"And what could a thing like you do?" Trixie said in a pompous fashion.
"Well first," I jumped on stage and landed softly with the help of my wings, "I can do this." I hummed the Song of Storms from Ocarina of Time. In a matter of seconds the area around the stage began to rain while everywhere else was clear and sunny. I hummed the Sun Song and the area that was affected by the Song of Storms returned back to normal. I already got a lot of applauds from the audience but I had one more trick up my sleeve and I need to make this good. "Okay Trixie look into my eyes." Trixie turned around with an unimpressed face. "Good. Now I Sergio Sarceno Command you to dance around like a chicken and when I snap my fingers you will remember everything." I used Geass on Trixie but unlike Lelouch I used it for a fun little joke. The crowd was eating it all up, somewhere laughing and rolling around on the ground while somewhere crying from laughter. Trixie was completely in my trace her eyes had a red glow to it and she was acting like a chicken to the best of her abilities, I snapped my fingers and Trixie was back to her normal self but she was a little bit confused but then she realized what happened and boy did she change colors, one minute she was azure blue the next she was a bright red, I don't know if it's from embarrassment or anger.
"How dare you make The Great and Powerful Trixie a fool." Yep it was from anger.
"If I remember correctly you where the one that did it, I just gave the command and it was up to you to do it or not." She was extremely flustered by this point. "Um not to sound rude, I think you own me a prize." I think that was a bad move.
"No the Great and Powerful Trixie will not give you this gem." She showed me and the crowd a red gem, for some reason it looked familiar, the crowd didn't like that idea so they began to boo her. "I'm leaving this pitiful town and taking my talents else were." The crowd liked that idea but I didn't, I didn't mean to do this, I should have seen she was insecure about herself, not only how she talks about herself in a third person but also how she puts down everypony else.
"Where are you going?" I asked Trixie, who was now packing up.
"Are you hard of hearing? Trixie said she was leaving to another town… most likely to Manehatten." She hitched herself on to her cart and off she went to Manehatten with a cheering crowd saying there good reddens.
"You sure showed that show off." A voice said above me.
"Yea but I don't feel right about it." I looked up and saw Rainbow Dash above me.
"What do ya mean sugarcube?" Applejack said.
"It's just that… Trixie sounds like she's missing something like a friend or something… can I ask you something where is Manehatten." Man these ponies are funny but then again it's normal to them.
"Well to get to Manehatten you have to go through the Ever Free Forest but it's dangerous to go alone." Twilight said when she just walked into the group.
"That's it I'm going to say something to that pony and I won't take no as an answer." I was about to go and get her until we heard a cry for help and it was in the same direction that Trixie went.
We all ran to the cry for help and what we found wasn't pretty. There was Trixie cowering under a tree and about ten huge ass blue scorpions but one of them was red and missing a tail and none of them where too happy to see Trixie.
"We have to help her!" I ordered and the group nodded. One of the scorpions was aiming its tail at Trixie and she was waiting for the blow but when it never happened she opened her eyes and saw a green shield around her.
"I-I didn't do this." She said while looking around for the pony that was behind making the shield.
"Yea because I did." I leapt off the tree that Trixie was under and got next to her, with a snap of my fingers we were out of there and back with the group. "Trixie I am going to need to tell me what those are and why are they pissed at you?" Trixie was a bit shaken by the near death experience and I don't blame her after a few moments she began to talk.
"Remember the tail I showed everypony at the show?" I just nodded. "Yea that was from their leader, the red one." I just face palmed myself when I heard this.
"Now let me guess they will go on a rampage if they don't find you?" I asked Trixie and my response was a nod. "Well this is what I get when I wished for something interesting." I ran toward the now angrier scorpions with a game plan. "Hey big, ugly, and stupid." They all turned around when they heard my voice, "yea I'm talking to you." I could feel the ground shake when they were charging at me but this is what I wanted because I need them to be off guard when I do this. I always wanted to do Devil Must Die so now was the best time to do it, plus it looks awesome. I brought out Rebellion because it's not Devil Must Die without it, it starts up with a low dash slash to the target or targets in this case but when it hits you dash back in to them five more times until you send the target flying up in the air you rush at him when the target is falling back down and catch them with the sword through them, with one last yell you force them off and they hit a wall of light and you say this when it's all done. "And that's how it ends." This attack got nine of the scorpions and the last one standing was the red one but after the move I just did he high tailed it out of town with whatever blue scorpions that where left concise from my attack. "How lame and here I thought that they would be more of a challenge but then again I did take down Chrysalis. Good times, good times." Twilight, Rainbow, AJ, Fluttershy, Pinks, Rarity, and Trixie came to me when all of the scorpions left.
"How did you take down a giant armored scorpion?" Twilight said in awe.
"I don't know, I just did what came natural to me." In truth be told, I did it because it looks cool.
"Do you know how hard that those shells are?" Rainbow Dash said. I had to fight the urge to say 'that's what she said'.
"Nope?"
"Not even the strongest unicorn magic could make a dent into it." Trixie said which was good to hear from her.
"Wow… also are you alright anything happened before we got to you." I asked Trixie to see if she got stung and because I still like to think that I am still a medic of some sorts.
"No, just a little shaken up a bit that's all… and thank you for saving me." There it goes again, me getting thanked for doing something that was expected from me.
"Don't mention it, I always help friends no matter what." I gave her a thumbs up to show her that every word I said I meant it.
"Wait you called me a friend even thou I was rude to you." She said with her ears flat and her eyes looking down.
"Hey don't beat yourself up for that, also I somewhat pushed you buttons a bit." She smiled and I gladly gave her a smile as well.
"Um… here." She pulled out the gem she was giving away during the show and Rarity was drooling from the sight of it.
"Thanks but why now?"
"Because I have a feeling that you might need it. If you don't mind I have to…" Trixie's voice trailed off when she remembered that her cart was totaled by the scorpions. "Great now where am I going to sleep tonight."
I don't know what came over me but it was the right thing to do. "If you would like you can sleep in one of my guest rooms and if you would like to live there I have no problems against it." Trixie and everypony else were somewhat taken back by my offer.
"Are you sure sugarcube?" AJ asked me.
"As sure as Fluttershy is shy." Fluttershy hid behind her mane when I used her as an example. "Sorry."
"It's alright." Fluttershy said in a low voice.
"So what do you say Trixie? Are you going to say or not?" She thought about it for a bit and nodded.
"I would love to." And that's all I need to begin my walk back home.
(At an unknown location)
"Good, good, but not good enough. The boy is getting more powerful everyday soon we will learn his true power." A hooded figure said from the shadows.
"Yes master but why do you need a piece of his hair?" Chrysalis said between every breath. The last few days she has been training to use her new powers.
"All in good time but right now fix the time it takes to use that spell." Chrysalis just nodded and continued to master the new spell. 'I will not have this human rune the plan let's just hope his dark side is strong enough.' With that he faded away leaving Chrysalis to train some more.
"I will show that human who really is the strongest, even if it's the last thing I do." At the end of her rant she fired of the spell and it hit one of the dummies, truing it into ice. "And with this power I know I will destroy him."
