Chapter 13 Touch the Sky
I don't own Kamen Rider Blade or My Little Pony: Equestria Girls.
Rai was walking around the city alone, he then looks at his bracelet and smiled knowing that one of his family is still with him.
"Grandma Chiharu, I'm glad that your here, it's good one of my family is with me."Rai said.
"Hey."he looks back to see Kanaria and Gizmo hidding inside a bush.
He goes to they're side and said:"what are you two doing here?"
"We wanted to see why you were taking so long."Kanaria said.
"Well you can't stay here."He then takes them with him.
He then goes to an alley and said:"okay, look I know you don't come out as much but people will be freaked out since they are still worried about the whole magic thing."
They then saw a rift opened making Gimzo gasp and they were dragged in, they then arrived at a forest and Rai looks around.
"Where are we?"Rai said.
"I don't know."Kanaria said.
Gimzo then goes to Rai's side and he picks him up, Rai puts him on his shoulder and looks around."well we need to find a place."
He then sees a horse pass by them and he sees a girl wearing a blue dress and has wild long red hair, he then follows her with Kanaria going behind him."hey wait."
Rai arrived and saw the girl on top of clif drinking water from a fall, he smiles at her and said:"that's impressive."
She then came down and Rai steps in a twig making her react, she then points her bow and arrow at him but he raises his arms up."Whoa, wait a second."
She then looks at him and said:"Who are you?"
"I'm Rai."he said.
She then looks at him and said:"your not from around here are you?"
"Yup, I'm from a country far away called Japan."Rai said.
"Oh that's interesting."she then saw Gizmo surprising her while he smiled."Who is that?"
"Oh this is Gizmo."he smiles while Gizmo waves at her."He's my little buddy."
"Hello."he said.
She chuckles a bit and said:"now that's adorable, I never seen anything like him before, what is he?"
"A mogwai."Rai said.
"Never heard of them."She said.
"Yeah I know, say I never got your name."Rai said.
"Oh it's Merida."she said.
"Well Merida know any place where I can go and spend the night."Rai said.
Good thing he said that he would be out to see soome friends back home, if not then Celestia would be worried.
"Oh yeah the castle is near."She said.
"Wait castle, and you live there?"Rai said.
"Yes."Merida said.
"Then your a princess."Rai said surprised.
"Ugh, don't reminde me."she then goes to her horse.
"Let me guess, the life is not that grand despite what some might think about being a princess."Rai said.
"Yes, all because of my mother! I'm the princess. I'm the example. I've got duties, responsibilities, expectations. My whole life is planned out, until the day I become, well, my mother. She's in charge of every single day of my life."Merida said.
"Whoa, glad I'm not royalty."Rai said.
They then walked together with her horse following them while Kanaria follows in secret.
"So what's your family like?"Merida asked.
"Oh well."Rai sighs being worried."they're not really here with me."
She gasped."I'm so sorry."
"It's okay, you didn't know, I get that a lot."Rai said."Still my family's past is that many of the of them in the past were warriors called Samurais."
"Oh really, how good were they?"Merida asked.
"Some of the best, in fact one of them was a woman."Rai said making her curious.
They then arrived at the castle and a maid saw them from a window making her surprised to see Merida with a boy, she then runs foward and sees Queen Elinor.
"Queen Elinor!"the maid said.
"Yes, what's the matter?"she asked.
"The Princess came with a boy."she said surprising Elinor.
She then goes down to see Merida come in with Rai."Merida."
"Oh hey mom."Merida said.
Elinor looks at Rai and he then bows."your majesty."
"Please stand up."he then does it."It seems you were taught to have good manners."
"Yes, your highness."Rai asked Merida the names of her parents since he came from far away.
"Well it's nice to see a boy managed to win her heart."Elinor smiled.
"Mom!"Merida said."That's not how it is, he traveled from far away to see our country."
"You must be tired then."Elinor said.
"Yes, Merida said you could give me a room while I'm here for a while."Rai said.
"Yes, we have a guest room."she then saw Gizmo."My what an adorable little creature."she goes up to Gizmo to pet him.
"Yes, this is Gizmo, he's my little companion that I bring."Rai said.
"Well why don't you come, were having dinner."Elinor said.
Rai then saw Merida take food and she gives him some."Trust me, you'll need it."
Later Merida and Rai went to the table to see her father Fergus telling the triplets a story.
"From nowhere, the biggest bear you've ever seen! Its hide littered with the weapons of fallen warriors. Its face scarred with one dead eye. I threw my sword and…"
"WHOOSH!"Merida surprises the triplets."One swipe, his sword shattered, then, CHOMP! Dad's leg was clean off! Down that monster's throat it went."
"Awwwwww! That's my favorite part!"Fergus said.
"Mor'du has never been seen since. And he's roaming the wild, awaiting his chance for revenge! ROOOAAR!"Merida said.
"Let him return! I'll finish what I gobbled in the first place."Fergus said.
Rai sits down and Fergus said:"so stranger, what brings you here to our home?"
"Oh you know, traveling, seeing the world."Rai said.
"Impressive, not even scared about meeting Mor'du."Fergus said.
"Nope."Rai said.
"Ha, I like him."Fergus said.
Rai saw what the food was and ate the one Merida gave him.
"So got any stories, like from your family, they must be interesting ones?"Fergus said.
"Well most of them in the past were warriors."Rai said making the triplets excited.
"Really, well tell one about them."Fergus said.
"Well there is my ancestor Chiharu also known as Hisako to the others of my country, she once fought many bandits to protect her village, fighting them off with her fallen fathers spear, killing many of them, even if she lost her life she inspired many to continue to drive them away."Rai said.
"Now that's a tale."Fergus said.
"Yes, it seems she must have been a interesting woman."Elinor looks at the mail.
"I even kept the last thing of her being this bracelet."Rai shows it to them."it's something our family always carries because we think that Chiharu will always watch over us."
"Well if she did come I would still beat her."Fergus said.
"Fergus, They've all accepted."Elinor said.
"Who's accepted what, Mother?"Merida asked.
Elinor looks at the triplets."Boys, you are excused."then they left.
"Whaaat… Did I do… Now?"Merida said.
"Your father has something to discuss with you."Elinor said making Fergus spit."Fergus?"
"Merida…"He then tries think of the right words.
"The lords are presenting their sons as suitors for your betrothal."Elinor said.
"What?"Merida was shocked.
"The clans have accepted!"Elinor said.
"DAD!"Merida said.
"What? I… You… She, Elinor!"Fergus said.
"Honestly, Merida! I don't know why you're acting this way. This year each clan will present a suitor to compete in the games for your hand."Elinor said.
"I suppose a princess just does what she's told!"Merida said.
"A princess does not raise her voice! Merida, this is what you've been preparing for your whole life."Elinor said.
"No! It's what you've been preparing me for my whole life! I won't go through with it! You can't make me!"she then left.
"Excuse me."Rai then leaves too.
Rai was shown to a room and he goes to the bed with Gizmo on it too, he then sees Kanaria climp through the window.
"Well that was interesting."she said.
"Yeah, she really doesn't want to get married."Rai said.
He then hears a knock, he then signals her to get down the bed and Kanaria goes inside it.
"Who is it?"Rai said.
Then the queen came in."I'm terribly sorry for what you had to see."
"It's alright Queen Elinor, it seems that Merida doesn't want to be forced in a marriage to someone she doesn't love."Rai said.
"I know but this is to make the alliance between the clans continue, if not war will start."Elinor said.
Rai got stunned and said:"well that's makes things worse, isn't there anything that would help both sides."
"Not if Merida gets a potential suitor to compete for her hand."Elinor said.
"Oh really, does she even know that?"Rai asked.
"I doubt it since she tends to slack off to most of the classes she gets."Elinor said."Well good night."she then leaves.
"Goodnight to you too."Rai said.
Next day Rai was at the throne room to see the clans arrive, he then sees Merida come out wearing a dress and it looked tight.
"Wow, talk about wardrobe malfunction."Rai said.
"Don't even start."she said.
"Well, it will be soon where you'll meet your future husbands."Rai said making her grunt.
"I just wish that was a way to avoid this."Merida said going towards the thrones.
"Well the only other thing I know your mother told me if you found another suitor to compete for your hand."Rai said making her stop.
She then turns to him with a smile."perfect."she then goes away making him confused.
Then everyone gathered, the three clans came through the doors with music playing and Rai looks at them.
Fergus gets up and said:"So, here we are! The four clans! Uh…Gathering…Uh…For…"
"The presentation of the suitors!"Elinor said.
"The presentation of the suitors!"Fergus said."Clan Macintosh!"
Lord Macintosh the presents his son who goes foward."Your majesty, I present my heir and sire, who defended our land from the northern invaders and, with his own sword, stabbed and vanquished thousands more!"His son then does a few sword tricks making Merida grunt.
"Clan MacGuffin!"Fergus said.
"Your majesty, I present my eldest son, who scuttled the Viking war ships with his bare hands. Vanquished two thousand more."Lord MacGuffin said while his son broke a log.
"Clan Dingwall!"Fergus said.
"I present my only son."Lord Dingwall pointed at a muscular guy surprising them."who was besieged by ten thousand romans and he took out their whole armor single handedly, with one arm. he was…"he then pulls his real son from behind the other guy."With one arm. he was steering the ship, and with the other he held his mighty sword and struck down a whole attacking fleet."
"Lies!"a voice was heard.
"What? I heard that! Aye! Say it to my face! Or are you a scared sniffling jackanape? Afraid to muss your pretty hair?"Lord Dingwall said.
"At least we have hair!"Lord Macintosh said.
"And all our teeth!"Lord MacGuffin Said then his son said something that no one understood.
"And we don't hide under breeches, you grumpy old troll!"Lord Macintosh said making everyone else laugh.
"You wanna laugh, huh? Wee Dingwall!"Lord Dingwall said making his son bite the other guy starting a fight.
Rai then avoids them going upstairs to avoid the fight.
"Now, that's all done! You've had your go at each other, show a little decorum. And no more fighting!"Fergus stopped them but then the triplets hit Lord Dingwall's foot with mace making him scream starting the fight again.
Fergus then jumps into the fight, Elinor had enough and went to drag the lord by they're ears making Rai chuckle.
"Sorry, me queen. I feel terrible. My humblest apologies."Lord Macintosh said.
"Sorry."Dingwall said.
"No disrespect."MacGuffin said.
"Sorry, love. I…I didn't…"Fergus then sits down.
"Now then, where were we? Ah, yes. In accordance with our laws, by the rights of our heritage, only the first born of each of the great leaders may be presented as champion. And thus, compete for the hand of the princess of DunBroch. To win the fair maiden, they must prove their worth by feets of strength or arms in the games. It is customary for the challenge be determined by the princess herself."Elinor explained to them.
"Archery! Archery!"Merida yelled out surprising her mother."I. Choose. Archery."
"Let the games begin!"Elinor said.
"Wait!"Merida said."I also have picked another suitor."That surprises them.
"Who?"Elinor said.
Merida then points at Rai surprising her.
"Him!"Dingwall said making the clans surprised.
"Well as tradition the young man has been given a chance to compete as well."Elinor said.
Later outside Rai and Merida were talking alone.
"Are you nuts, wanna know something I have a girlfriend so I can't marry you."Rai said.
"Look, just win this and you'll be able to break the marriage."Merida said."You know archery right?"
"Yes."Rai said since he has plenty of experience when he uses Chalice.
Then it was time with the horn being blown, Rai was with the other suitors and Young Macintosh looks at Rai."You know, I like that shirt."
"Oh thanks, it's from where I came from."Rai said.
"It's time!"Fergus said.
"Archers, to your marks!"Elinor said.
"Aye! Archers, to…your marks!"Fergus said.
"And may the lucky arrow find its target!"Elinor said.
"Oi! Get on with it."Fergus said.
Young MacGuffin shoot the first arrow and hits the edge.
"Wow not even close."Rai said.
Young Macintosh was next and he then shoots making it outside the bullseye making him scream.
"At least you hit the target!"his father said.
He then throws the bow away.
Then Young Dingwall was next and he got troubles with the arrow.
"Shoot boy!"Fergus said making Dingwall shoot and he hits the bullseye making his father happy.
Rai was next and he then shoots hitting the bullseye too surprising them.
"Well, that's grand, we have a tie."Fergus said.
"Then a second challenge must be done."Elinor said.
"Then let them fight."Fergus said making her sigh.
Both Rai and Wee Dingwall were in a circle, then he charges at Rai but Rai dodges his attack and hits him with a chop over the neck making him fall out of the ring.
"What?!"his father said while the other two laughed.
"He didn't stand five second there."Macintosh said.
"He won!"Merida smiled.
Elinor then looks at her daughter and said:"we need to talk."
Rai sees them going away and wonders what will happen.
Note:Heres the first part of the Brave movie, Rai met Merida and won the right to be her suitor but her mother wanted her to be with one of the clans, now some might be asking and yes she will be in the harem just she will stay in her world like the ranger girls in other stories.
