Ponylands: 2P Co-op (Borderlands2 x FIM x human)
Chapter 2: 2 Hunter,Scholar,Gentleman
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAfter the execution, I blew the end of my barrel.
"Lets see if we can't find any survivors left in this town!" I said as I reloaded my Jakobs and spin-holstered the gun.
A random guy with an English accent called out nearby, "I'm not a bandit, don't shoot!".
Me and Twilight pointed our firearms towards the noise in response and saw a human cyborg made his appearance coming out of a small house with his arms up. He had circular glasses with a busted lens, a cowboy hat, a mechanical arm and leg, and a vest which had some darts on it for decor. He spoke again,
"Nice to meet you fellow stranger and... er purple unicorn, my name is Sir Hammerlock,...", he said with a salute, "...at your service."
'Better try to make some friends around here.' I thought.
"Looks like we have a survivor, standdown!" I said and we both holstered our weapons.
"My name is Blake Williams and this is Twilight Sparkle, the unicorn..." I said as I pointed to her, "...and before you ask why is the hell I have a purple unicorn next to me and I know this will sound crazy, but we both came from different alternate realities and we have reason to believe that the Vault maybe our only way back."
"So you are Vault hunters correct?"
"Yes, we are Vault hunters, but are only new recruits with not that much fighting experience." Twilight said.
"My golly, you can talk? Astounding!", Hammerlock said with astonishment.
"Yes, apparently I come from a more different world than Blake here, where it is not as chaotic as here." , she said.
"So, how do you know about the Vault?"
"A robot named Claptrap told us and..." I thought came to me, "Oh, that reminds me, we have him with us and we need someone who can put this..." I held out the eye, "back into him.".
"CLAPTRAP! First Captain Flynt's bandits attack, then Claptrap shows up! I must've been horrifyingly cruel to puppies in a past life to deserve this kind of treatment!", Hammerlock yelled with widened eyes.
'I can see why.' I thought then spoke, "I know he can be annoying, but we are going to need him to get to Sanctuary and it looks like you are the only one who can fix his eye.", I looked around and noticed he is not here with us and sighed, "He is still at the front gate isn't he?".
Twilight sighed "I'll get him.", she then took off to find Claptrap.
"Before you ask if I can repair Claptrap's sight, yes and in return you should let me go to Sanctuary with you." Hammerlock said before offering a handshake.
"Sounds like a deal.", I shook his metal arm to seal the deal with a smirk.
"I have to say Vault hunter, for a couple of young recruits, I am surprised you and Twilight were able to take on Captain Flynt's bandits with out a scratch, but since you are recruits, I am going to give you fellows as much training in Liar's Burg as possible before we make the journey."
"I suppose you are right, I mean we are going to go against a lot of dangers along the way so it is better to be prepared and trained."
"I hope you don't mind if we stay here for a few days before we go out."
"Hey, I don't really mind if we find the Vault or not, Safety is our first priority.", I said
"HEY HAMMERLOCK...!" Claptrap said as he was being escorted here by Twilight.
"Oh dear." Sir Hammerlock said while pinching his nose.
"...since my minions just saved your town, can you do your best Claptrap a favor and repair my eye?", me and Twilight rolled our eyes in response to being called minions.
"Well, I suppose I am in your debt aren't I? Just come over to my hideout and I shall restore his sight.", he waved for us to come to him.
I was walking with Twilight when she spoke, "So, what did I miss while I was getting Claptrap?"
"Hammerlock said that he will come with us to Sanctuary in return for Claptrap's eye-repair and since we don't have much fighting experience, he offered us a couple days to stay with him for training."
"Good idea, we should take his offer before we head out into the dangerous shit-hole." Twilight said while escorting Claptrap.
"Agreed, we may have just gotten lucky with taking out the whole mess of bandits and bullymongs.", I responded
~5 mins later.~
"Okay here we are, our hideout." Sir Hammerlock as he said upon stopping in front of a small, one story house_ touching a wall of rock and ice to the right. Doesn't look so appealing from the exterior but appearances can be deceiving, I thought to myself.
"This is it?", Twilight said with a disappointed tone.
"Just wait until you see what I have inside.", Sir Hammerlock said with a smirk.
He opened the metal door in front and held the door open like a gentleman would.
"Thanks.", Twilight said as we entered the house.
There was what appeared to be the dining room/living room with a bullymong skin used as a rug complete with a radio and a leather couch, complete with a classy lit fire place. Many unfamiliar taxidermic heads of creatures cover the walls. The table was a four seater and had chairs made out of some sort of bones. One opened door led to a cramped kitchen/hallway that had a dead end.
"Put Claptrap on the couch." Hammerlock said and Twilight did so.
"This is your hideout?", I said with a raised brow.
"Not all of it."
Sir Hammerlock then shut the door and locked it tight. He then went up to the fireplace and twisted the cap of a bottle on a fireplace. The fireplace then went out and the back wall of the fire place began to turn, revealing a stairwell that led down into total darkness.
Me and Twilight had our jaws hanging open from the opening secret entrance, "Follow me." he said and we followed with Claptrap left on the couch.
Once Sir Hammerlock was half-way down the metal stair well, a row of lights began turning on every second away from us until the whole room was lit. Twenty-feet straight in front of us was a 20 yard-long firing range with five stations to fire from. One door left to the firing range said "armory" and the right one said "combat training". Behind the stairwell was a row of empty weapon holders and yet another door saying "bunks". On the wall said 'Daul'.
"HOLY SHIT!" Twilight said.
"That was my line!", I said jokingly.
"Too bad!", Twilight turned and smiled innocently at me and we both laughed.
Sir Hammerlock spoke, "I apologize for not using the guns in the armory here when the bandits came, I couldn't get to here when it happened, but since you have saved me, you get to learn many new skills!"
"W-what is this place?!", I asked.
"This used to be a military barracks for the Daul corporation quite some time ago, it so happened to be abandoned a while a go for some unknown reason, and based on the tech in here, I can say it was abandoned in the early 22nd century and I managed to find a lot of useful Daul weaponry that I have in there.", he pointed to the armory, "Best part is, you get to play with and take these along your journey, just don't hurt yourselves doing it."
"OMCOMCOMCOMCOMCOMC!" Twilight said excitingly while I still had my slack-jawed look.
"What year is it now?", I asked.
"Time has been forgotten for a while now, but my rough estimate would be in the early 25th."
Hammerlock continued ,"Well while you go around check the area out, I'll be repairing Claptrap's sight...", Hammerlock turned to me and stuck out his hand, "...I believe you have his eye?". I took out the eye and put it in his cold arm and said, "Here you go.". He then went back upstairs with the eye.
"Lets go drop our stuff at the bunks first.", Twilight nodded in response.
We went to the bottom of the stairs and went to the 'bunk' door. The door slid straight up when I pushed a button on the side. Just like in any military barracks, there were 2 beds for every bunk and there were about 6 pairs of bunks in sides of the hallway. At the end was one unisex, bathroom-door. Most of the base seemed to be made of mostly concrete and metal, but I don't think it will be too uncomfortable.
"Thats a lot of beds", I said
"These seem fairly comfortable enough to sleep on.", Twilight said as she relaxed on the first, right, top-bunk.
"Wow, these are not so bad, ironic since I hear military beds are generally pretty uncomfortable.", I said as I chose the top bunk on the other side.
"Let's put down our stuff and see how the repair is going.", I said, then we put our weapon holsters below our original beds and exited the room.
We went up stairs to go check upstairs and as we got closer we saw Hammerlock finishing the repair on the couch.
"AHA,", Claptrap jumped out of the couch after he had his sight back, "...hey bitches...", he said as he saw us.
"Oh dear he is talking again.", Hammerlock said as he put a hand on his face.
"...I got my eyesight back, motherfuckas!"
I sighed and said, "I hope you don't mind waiting here for a couple days Clappy, we are going to need some preparation before we go off into the sunset.".
"Nice, a honeymoon I like it.".
"OH SHUT UP!", Me and Twilight said simultaneously.
"Well, see ya, I'll be practicing mah Claptrap beep-box time, check it!", he made beep-boxing noises as he went to go outside to do his thing.
"I have a feeling we will have a love-hate relationship with him soon.", I said as Claptrap's rap (hey that rhymes!) grew fainter.
"Reminds me of a combination of some of my friends.", Twilight said chuckling.
"Like who?", I said curiously.
"I have a earth-pony friend named Pinkie Pie who is happy and random, a brother-like baby dragon named Spike who is somewhat cute, and another unicorn named Vinyl Scratch who is obsessed with this music called 'dubstep', which I find okay.", remembering her home she sighed sadly, "Too bad I may never get to see them again."
I kneeled down and put a hand on her mane, "I am too, but at least we have something in common or at lot in common to be the case and that makes something". Just realizing that sounded like a romantic thing, we both blushed and was a little embarrassed even more doing it in front of Sir Hammerlock. I quickly got my hand off Twilight, "not... er... saying we are um dating for anything! He he...".
"Oh, nothing to be ashamed about liking a different sentient being.", Sir Hammerlock said to comfort me, it was soon broken when we saw Claptrap just in the front door way and said, "...AAAAAANNNDDD, kiss!" with a gesture.
"SHUT UP CLAPTRAP!", Twilight and I yelled in unison again.
"Hey, just giving some love tips!"
We both rolled our eyes in frustration and response. Twilight yawned and spoke up, "I think it is about time we get some rest so we can be ready for training tomorrow, I'm tired and I think it is getting late as of now."
"I agree, I am going to sleep up here and as for you two there are a bunch of military bunks downstairs behind the stairwell.", Sir Hammerlock said.
"Well see ya tomorrow morning!", I said as I and Twilight waved him goodbye as we went down the stairs and turned the lights off in the bunks.
~In the bunks~
I was sleeping a low bunk with one thin cotton blanket and all my clothing on (including my jacket) cause of the coldness of the place, until I felt something waking me up with a hoof.
I opened my eyes to see Twilight on the left side of my bed with her horn glowing and shivering, "Something wrong Twilight?".
"I am sorry for disturbing you, but I can't sleep because it is really cold in here, can I-I... um lay with you, if you don't mind?", Twilight said with a heart-melting sad face.
'How can I say no to that.', I thought.
"Oh, no need to be sorry, I think this bed is big enough to hold both of us.", I got up and grabbed Twilight's other blanket and made the bed with them two.
I looked at my jacket and smiled at the hatch of an idea. I unzipped my jacket_revealing my black, Canadian souvenir t-shirt and wrapping it around Twilight, "There, that should keep you warm."
"Wow...", she paused and blushed, "um... thanks!"
"Don't sweat it.", I said as smiled and I got inside the double blankets first. I offered Twilight a place by my side as I lifted the covers. My with jacket wrapped around her, she got herself positioned next to me. I tucked her in and with my left arm on her left shoulder, I pulled her in closer_massaging her mane with my left thumb.
"So...", trying to change the topic to make it less awkward, "I hear you have a pretty interesting world where you come from, tell me about it."
~15 mins later~
During those fifteen minutes she told me about a ruler named Princess Celestia who can control the sun's position, and a co-ruler who controls the moon and the position of the stars named Princess Luna. She told me she used to be trapped on the moon for 1,000 years because she went corrupt some how, but has been reformed.
I responded, "For my world, a lot of humans used to think and assume it was some unseen gods or some kind of other myth, but as humans have come to better understanding of the natural world around ourselves, we found out that it does it all itself."
Twilight was a little shocked, "WHAT? How is that possible!?"
"Well, you see, Earth orbits around the sun and the moon orbits around the Earth. Some humans used to think the Earth was the center of everything until a guy named Galileo came along.", I performed gestures with my right arm as I spoke.
"How does the planet and moon move on its own?"
"Gravity.".
"Gravity?".
"You know how gravity makes things fall towards things right?"
"Yeah?", she leaned her head towards mine.
"When an object such as the moon orbits the Earth, it is actually falling towards the Earth, but instead of hitting the Earth, it is actually missing it indefinitely as it circles it.", I spin my right hand to demonstrate.
"Oh! I think I get it, that is interesting how your world works."
"Ever since the beginning of our universe, things have been doings things by themselves like an epic dominoes effect..."
2 hours later
For the past two hours I was on a 'mind-blowing' streak as I talked about the high points of the history of life, my species, life on Earth and the universe that I knew. I enjoyed telling her about the biggest discoveries and potential theories the science in my world has made so far I knew. I enjoyed talking about mind-blowing science: like how the universe is surprisingly 99.99999% empty space, the incredible size of the universe and the amount of galaxies the universe has and how many stars each galaxy has. I also told her about how far science has pushed mankind technologically-speaking. I mentioned and talked about things like cars, planes, ships, tanks, and the international space station.
After so many jaw drops and gasps, "You humans can go into space!?", she asked excitingly.
"Yes, but barely. It is super expensive, dangerous, and difficult. The farthest any human has gotten is probably the moon.", she gasped in excitement again.
"YOU WENT TO THE MOON!?", she whispered loudly.
"Yes, but mankind has barely done it over a dozen times and we stopped doing it cause you know.", I can tell she was a little disappointed in that, "In spite of that though, we have sent surveyors out into places and that is how we gather data."
"How far has any object gone?"
"There is this probe called Voyager One, even though it traveled over the speed of a bullet and it has been doing so for about 37 years, it has only made its way out of our solar system."
"WOW, your kind sure has improved a lot!."
"Yeah it has and it is amazing how much can change in single century, A SINGLE CENTURY and just imagine what the next century will be AND THE NEXT!".
I turn my body a bit so I can face Twilight when she spoke, "That really is amazing, just wow."
"You warm enough Twilight?", she nodded, I suddenly got in a little trance from looking into her beautiful violet eyes but then I noticed she was starting to tear up and smiled back as she looked into my hazelnut eyes.
'Woah Jesus, am I falling in love with her?', I thought with mental widened eyes.
"What's wrong Twilight."
She noticed this and wiped her eye, "Well you know that time when I killed Knuckle Dragger?"
"Yes?"
"Well I was thinking about the times when you *sniff* put yourself in harm's way and how you were always s-so, selfless; always w-watching out for me."
As a person who doesn't cry often I began to tear up as well, "Y-yes?".
"The real reason I think I have killed Knuckle Dragger is because I-I...", she blushing as she couldn't say it.
"*Sniff*Y-Y-yeah?".
"I have a-a q-q-question Blake.".
"G-go on a-ahead!"
"Do you...", she put a hoof on my right stomach area, "like me?", she squealed_blushing like mad.
"W-what was t- *sniff* that?"
"Do you l-l-loove me?", My heart skipped 5 beats from that statement, making me want to run around like a crazy person winning the lottery, "I am, but she is just a pony, I grew internally pissed off at what my consciousness called her like she was an animal but you know what? Fuck it, I LOVE HER and SHE LOVES ME! I learn to follow my heart and I can do whatever the fuck I want.!",
.
Because Love is what reminds me that nothing else matters
Love lets me see the world in her eyes and her eyes everywhere.
Love is to understand this
Love is to respect this
Love is to accept this
I am not blind, I only see what matters...
...And that is Twilight Sparkle: my love.
Too emotional to speak: I leaned in closer while she leaned in response. We kept leaning in until our lips touched. I and Twilight widened our eyes in surprise to this involuntary movement. That didn't stop there: our eyes bursted from joy as we both opened our mouths to explore each other's mouth with our tongues. It was the best thing in the multiverse: my kiss our first kiss. We moaned and groaned in pleasure as we pulled each other in to a heart-warming hug. It was heaven, no better than heaven, If this wasn't heaven I don't know how heaven can be any better than with this angel. I will will will always be there for her, to the ends of hell and back, to the bottom of the deepest oceans, to the ends of space, I will always be there for you Twilight I PROMISE! .
With all my heart I broke the kiss, looked into her entrancing eyes, held her hoof between us and finally said it,"I do *sniff*, you maybe one pe-pony to the world but to me you are the whole universe. When I see you smile I see something more beautiful than stars, the way I get pulled into a trance every time I look into those beautiful violet eyes, the way you lighten up my soul with your laugh, and just every little detail about you. I love you Twilight Sparkle, because when I look at you, I can't see myself... ...I only see you.", I cried even more from that statement when Twilight pulled me into another bone crushing hug, followed by another mouth-grabbing kiss.
~10 minutes later~
After A LOT of kissing each other back, Twilight seemed to have a question, "Hey Blake, why do you have pointy teeth?".
My heart rose as I spoke, "Oh no she must've felt my canines, FUCK and ponies are herbivores, DOUBLE FUCK!", "Well he he you see these are called canines and I am well... an omnivore."
"You eat m-meat?"
"Don't worry though I humans don't eat ponies and I can live give up meat for you Twilight. I would rather eat my own kind than you my love!".
Twilight gasped, "You'd do that for me?".
"No questions asked.", I French-kissed her on the lips.
When we pulled out of a kiss Twilight made a sad sigh, "Too bad I may never get to see you again when we get to our homes."
I held one of her left fore-hoof with my right-hand, "How about I come with you instead when we do?".
"WHAT, but aren't you worried about your own friends and family back home?!", surprised I am willing to sacrifice that much for her.
"I honestly don't really have anything to go back to besides my abusive foster parents.", I frowned at the memories.
"Oh, I am sorry..."
I put a finger on her mouth to stop her, "No, don't apologize, my biological parents died when I was six in a car accident and I was being moved from abusive foster home/family to another for eleven years ever since and I was forced through really tough schools along the way, but I luckily learned how to survive and learn luckily."
Twilight was crying by this and hugged me in a bone-crushing hug in response, "*sniff* I am s-so s-sorry, nopony deserves to go through that torment! *sniff*".
"But now since I met and got to know you more, I have a reason to keep going now Twilight, and that is you. You have made me the happiest man alive and I want you to know that.".
"Are you sure about your decision? I mean it is your world!", she said with joyful tears.
"I would give away everything and anything to be with you and see you alive and happy to the very-end of the universe.".
"You really know how to say the most charming things.", she made more tears and rubbed a hoof on my chest.
"I think we will be really happy together in Equestria since it is an overall more peaceful and tolerant society.", I smiled.
"What is your world like?", she said.
"It is fairly safe in some places like in the country I come from, but overall, humanity on Earth has a really dark history and is still really bad in terms of violence, going to Equestria sounds like a wiser option. And since you have had some sentient griffins and dragons in your society, a 120-pound, hairless, gorilla shouldn't be all that intimidating.", she giggled in response.
"I guess your right, after learning from a zebra named Zecora, a lot of ponies have learned to not judge a book by its cover."
"I think it is good that they learn tolerance because in my world, discrimination probably still is the biggest problem."
"Wait, I thought you only had one sentient species on your planet?".
"Well, you see, not all humans have the same skin tone as mine or the same looks from where they came from.", I showed her my lightly-olive skin.
"So what are you?"
"I am Chinese-American, though I look more white by a lot of people.".
"Chinese-American?"
"It means you are born in a country called America and are a descendant of someone that is born in another country called China."
"So how badly can a different color make a problem? I got many different colored ponies in my society and that is barely an issue.".
"If you look back at human history, humans were given certain looks based on the original environment they were descendant of. African's for example, or skin of black color originated on a continent called Africa, people of white color were originally from around Europe, Native Americans are from well you know, and people who are Asian or Chinese like me on around a continent called Asia. It is really sad to see people foolishly look over the fact that all humans are created equal, which has happened a lot in history and is still kind of happening today, though to a much lesser degree, at least it is what I see in my country. For example, white people used to see people of dark color as animals and went to go as far as enslaving them."
Her eyes widened in response, "S-slavery?".
"A couple centuries ago: some countries, especially my own, would capture people of dark-skin color in Africa and make cheap labor out of them."
"Wait, your OWN country was doing slavery well!?"
"Sadly yes, but fortunately the country has learned from a lot of its questionable decisions and the country has changed that, it is only the tip of my world's mostly-dark history."
"Wow, your world must have it tough in comparison to mine."
"Yeah it is, but that doesn't matter because I knew the second I met you that there was something about you I needed. Turns out it wasn’t something about you at all. It was just you.", we both smiled and was about to cry with joy.
We all let it out then Twilight spoke,"Shut the fuck up and kiss me!", I pulled into another kiss, this time more aggressive. I turned my face as Twilight turned her's to get a side-ways kiss with us heavily breathing and OH MAN it felt so Fucking Awesome!
I broke the kiss and I was just holding her hoof between us as I was tranced once again into her beautiful eyes as she did to my hazelnut (brown) eyes. After five minutes of silence: I used my other hand to stroke the side of her face when I first laughed and spoke,
"God, Twilight where did you learn to cuss?", I said.
"I learned it from you remember? What am I not good enough to use them?", Twilight said with obvious sarcasm and humor. We all laughed in response.
"You are cute when you cuss you know.", she put a hoof to her mouth and giggled at my comment while blushing a little, "So fucking cute".
"It's funny, I just met you, but it already feels like we are destined to be together.", she said as I was reminded of something:
because Love is our true destiny.
We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone
- we find it with another.
"Do you believe in love at first sight?", I questioned Twilight.
"I have and now I do.", she said smiling right before she closed her eyes and kissed me on the lips.
That was the night we promised
the will to be together through everything,
each to care for the other when old and gray.
A lovers' pact
the most likely to last.
~Next morning~
I woke up with both of us in about the same position as last time with Twilight still asleep. I stretched my arms and made a yawn as I got up. Twilight soon later woke up and made a yawning noise.
"Morning Twilight.".
She opened her eyes, "Morning Blake."
"You always light my soul like sunlight breaching though clouds.", remembering last night.
"Glad you enjoyed it.", she made a brief kiss on my lips and she looked at herself, "I think we are going to need shower from getting covered in mud and dried blood."
"Speaking of showers, I wonder what the washrooms look like?", I replied.
She yawned, "Lets go check it out.".
We got out of bed and she hung up my jacket on a hook on the wall. We walked over to the unisex door and pushed it open. When we went into the room we were pretty impressed at the size of the bathroom, but everything in here looked early 21st century. The first thing we see are a wall of modern-looking lockers that partially spilt the room in two at us as we came in with a single wooden bench that matched the length of the wall on each side. On each side there are 6 pairs of showers, which surprisingly included 2 private showers, considering that this is a sort of military barracks. Both sides in the back had a couple stalls and sinks, but only one side had urinals. The floors and walls were covered in generic, white tile and pipes liter the ceiling with fluorescent lights hanging from it. Kind of underwhelming to say the least, but I find it pretty cool we almost have a hidden military to ourselves.
"Looks like my-world tech, but it is not everyday you get to have a military base to yourself, which is pretty cool.", I said.
Twilight shrugged her shoulders and we both walked towards the private shower on the left. Since Twilight didn't really wore clothes that often, "I'll take this one."
Upon closer inspection of the non-private shower, a hologram suddenly poped up forming a transparent, blue, temperature control knob with the degrees (in Celsius) above it making us jump back a bit in surprise. She used her magic and surprisingly the knob was as solid as a metal one. Below there was a little green button saying 'dry'. She turned it so it was 43 degrees.
"Woah, that's new!", I said with a raised brow.
She used a hoof to feel the water,"Wow, there is warm water!"
"Guess living in a military barracks isn't as bad as I thought it would be!", I looked and pointed at the at the 'dry' button, "What does that do?".
She pressed and two vertical sides of the shower pushed out. The lower ends extended out upwards over the floor. Then they slowly moved down and up, as they did that they made blasts of hot air_drying Twilight like a Dyson hand-dryer and reverted back to their original positions.
"Cool, well I am going to try this...", I pointed to the private shower," ...one.", the shower in the private one had the same configuration and everything except it had tile walls surrounding it. After five minutes of showering and drying myself off, I put back on my clothes and headed outside. I went up to a generic, white urinal to take a piss and went up to the sink to wash. I looked in the mirror and still saw Twilight taking her shower_humming beautifully while she was standing on her hind legs and rubbing her mane with her hooves.
'Damn', I thought as my pants got a bit tighter looking at my special friend.
~Later~
We went outside of the bunks and heard some sizzling from upstairs.
"Looks like he is making breakfast.", I said.
We went up stairs and saw Sir Hammerlock making a surprisingly generic American breakfast on a stove: Pancakes and some-kind of bacon.
"Hello Romeo and Juliet!", we turn at at the noise to see Claptrap sitting at a set-up table waving.
"You eat breakfast?", I said trying to change the subject and ignore Claptrap's trolling.
"Yes.", he said as he was picking up imaginary food off his plate with a fork, "Nom, nom.", we both rolled our eyes in response.
"So...", Claptrap continued, "...anything happened while I was up here on standby?".
Me and Twilight looked at each other with nervous expressions and Twilight said, "Um well-."
"You guys made out last night did you?", he said as he put his arms on his hips. We both blushed in response.
"Think we should tell him?", Twilight whispered.
"Well, he is going find out eventually.", I replied.
Twilight sighed, "yes we did.", she said with a frustrated tone.
"Oh come on, nothing to be a shamed about,...", Sir Hammerlock said as he went in with a plate of pancakes and another of bacon, "...you are both sentient creatures and share many traits, just get past fact that you are different species.".
"Yeah,...!", Claptrap said, "...you guys seem perfect together!".
"I hate to say this, but uhh... thanks guys.", I said as I rubbed the back of my head. Me and Twilight looked at each other with an expression of happiness and relief.
We quickly forgot about the awkward situation as we all sat down at the table with Twilight at my side.
What I saw really surprised me, "mmm, what is this stuff," Twilight said as she took a bite, "this shit tastes delicious!"
I raised a finger, "Uh... Twilight?"
"Yes?", she looks towards me.
"That's bacon; meat.", her eyes widened at her strip before she was about to take another bite. Surprisingly, she took another bite and chewed it more slowly like she didn't give a shit, then my jaw dropped in surprise.
She looked at me, "What, it's not my fault he made it so delicious.", she said with a mouth full and shrugged her shoulders.
I closed my mouth and smiled, 'Damn she is hot when she's crazy'.
I took a bite of my pancakes then spoke, "So, what are we going to be doing today Hammerlock?"
"Well, first I'll give you a proper tour of the place first then it is off to combat training and finally shooting when you are both are first-level black belts. I'll also go over the equipment we have here."
"Sweet!"
"Oh fuck yeah!", Twilight responded then we all laughed.
Once everyone was finished, "Alright off we go."
"See ya guys I am gonna practice my dancin'.", Claptrap went outside, "WUB wub wub! wub wub wub!".
~Later at the shooting range~
"Here is the firing range, here you'll be trained on how well you aim and handle with all types of ranged weaponry.", Sir Hammerlock pointed to the range.
"Cool, can't wait to see and try out what other weapons your world uses.", Twilight said excitingly.
~Combat Training room~
The 'Combat Training' door led to a small room with a Japanese style sliding door on the opposite side with a ink-art style pictures of dragons. On each side of the door stood a Japanese Guardian statue.
"Here you'll learn various combat techniques including Sojutsu, Karate, Judo, Ninjutsu and more. I remodeled this place myself, like it?", Sir Hammerlock said as he slid open the door.
The next room led to yet another spectacular room that was already lit. In front of us was a short, stone bridge that went over a flowing river with a pair of black-caged lanterns on each end. The ceiling was high enough for the Magnolia tree at the end of the stone bridge to fit without it cramping up the massive, grassy, center-courtyard. The ceiling had many flat bright lights that seem to be where the plants in here get their Photosynthesis, I hypothesize. Left and Right of the center-courtyard stood two more sliding doors.
"Like it? I fucking love it! How the hell did you make all this?", I said with a gaping jaw.
"I forgot this barracks was parting in research as well; it had a small weather simulator and I made it into a automated garden slash combat training room slash work of art; I had a lot of free time on my hands.", Sir Hammerlock.
"This place used to be a weather simulator?", I said then thought,
'This is a universe where it is many centuries in the future, so I shouldn't be surprised.'
"Yes, I made it so the plants here get a fair amount of artificial sunlight and rainwater now and then."
"It must be nice to train in a work of art and beautiful garden.", Twilight said.
"Yes it is, and to demonstrate...", he checks his watch, "it should start raining any...", he was interrupted when suddenly the garden in front of us was lightly getting water from the ceiling like natural rain typically is, "...second."
Sir Hammerlock goes to a umbrella holder and hands out some metal rods to us, "Umbrellas, need one?"
Me and Twilight accepted and pushed a button on the bottom and a hologram in the shape of a umbrella-top at the other end.
"You can have those for yourselves if you want."
"Wow, thanks.", I replied.
We walked over the bridge, went through the garden, and turned to the right sliding door. Inside was a 'U' shaped hallway that connected both sliding doors to another that was equidistant from the two and inline of the bridge. The hallway was decorated with bonsai trees on small end tables at the sides of the hallway as well as ceiling paper-lanterns and ink-paintings on the walls, completed with a hard-wood, light-colored floor.
We went to the sliding door at the middle of the hallway and Sir Hammerlock slid it open.
"This is where the training equipment and other things are stored."
The room automatically lit up and revealed a much wider hallway with a dead end way in the back. The dimensions of the room was completely bright-white and the room was packed with tons of martial arts training equipment: wooden katanas, wooden dummies, sticky shuriken, staffs, eraser nunchucks, and everything all organized on rows of shelves and holders.
"Wow, just wow!", I said.
"This is it for the combat training area,..."
~Armory~
"...and finally, the best part of the tour, the armory!"
The armory wasn't really big but it did have a fair amount of guns and equipment. An empty snow-camo M98B-variant and a black LSAT-variant with a shark-mouth painted at the end of the barrel, a bipod, tactical fore grip, and a belt-fed magazine on a metal table in the center of the room. All other equipment, weaponry, and ammunition, lay in green, closed weapon-lockers that surround half the room. A katana with a ruby-eyed, dragon handle in its black sheath rests in the farthest corner.
"Woah!", I said.
"This here is all made by the Daul corporation, you'll be taught how to handle firearms, grenades, shields, first-aid syringes, etcetera, etcetera....".
"Oh my fucking Celestia!", said with a gaping jaw.
"A lot of these are old models, but you'll find these to come in handy on our coming journey.", Hammerlock turned to look at us, "Now that the tour is over, lets get to business shall we?"
~combat training room~
Me and Twilight wore white robes with white-belts in bipedal position in center of the courtyard with no shoes or socks. While we wait, Sir Hammerlock brings out a pair of wooden dummies, and a pair of plastic, self-orientating dummies. He also brings out a rack full of training weapons such as wooden katanas, shuriken, and staffs.
"At a normal route, it would take a really long time to get to a black belt, but this...", he used his right-appendage to reveal two, blue pills in the palm and a bottle of water in his left," will help you get there faster!"
"What are those?", I asked
"These are neurological stimulates that will boost agility, reflexes, speed, and accelerate the natural change of shape of any brain temporally. In simpler terms, it helps you learn physical skills like martial arts significantly faster. Just practice with these 3 hours everyday for 3 days and you'll earn your black belts and melee weapon expertise in no time.", said Sir Hammerlock.
"What level of martial arts are you?", I said.
"I am a black belt and learned it without the pills in my free-time."
"Why did you do it without them?", Twilight asked.
"First-off these things are extremely expensive and rare on Pandora and I only managed to find three pairs in my five years of being here in Liar's Burg, second I wanted to save these for someone who I think is worthy enough to have these...", Sir Hammerlock.
"We are worthy to you?", Twilight asked with a raised brow.
"You saved my life and you two naturally seem to do well at fighting well, considering you two fellows took out a whole town of bandits and survived a den full of bullymongs. Like I said I am in your debt and I wanted to give you something in return as a reward and achievement."
"I think me and Blake are honored to have you teach us.", Twilight said as we made a salute and each took the pills.
Twilight used her hooves (I don't know how that works) to hold and unscrew the water bottle and wash down the pill. She handed over the bottle to me an I washed down my pill.
Ten seconds later, I felt way more focused and ready then I ever did. It felt like I just slept for a ten days straight. I noticed Twilight had the same reaction as I did.
"Wow, I feel like I just drank 100 cups of coffee without the bad effects.", Twilight said.
"Now lets get started shall we? First off we will learn how to learn some useful and beginner self-defense moves...!"
~Two and a-half-hours later~
During those first two hours, it felt like we have already learned six months worth of training. We both learned a lot of various martial arts moves just from using it on the dummies and Hammerlock: various counter strikes, roundhouse, butterfly kicks, various holds and countless others. Twilight during training told me that all ponies in her world all had short telekinesis on her hooves that can grab and move things around in close-proximity with them which allows her to learn all of the moves humans can perform. She surprisingly seems to learn a little faster than me at bipedal combat like a normal human would which kinda turns me on, though she still has trouble when she walks or runs, so she needs to use all fours when she does.
When the pills wore off twenty-minutes later, we were panting and sweating like crazy.
"I think *huff* the *huff* drugs have *huff* worn off *huff*!", I said when I noticed we weren't as focused anymore.
"Now since you have so well today, you deserve these.", he smiles_hands out a purple belt in each hand, "You soldiers have already earned over half-way towards a black belt. Tomorrow you'll definitely be earning your black belts, then it is off to some parkour training for the rest of that day, and on the last day you get to learn how to use some melee weapons, but sadly, you'll only have time to professionalize in one or two melee weapons of your choice."
We both stood side-by-side facing Sir Hammerlock and Twilight spoke, "Me and Blake are honored to have learned so much today about the various martial arts moves...", We then took our belts with both fore-appendages and bowed, "...Arigatō ("thank you" in Japanese).", she and I learned that during training.
"Well I think it is getting late for you two.", Sir Hammerlock looked at his watch.
I yawned, "Yeah, I think we should get some rest for tomorrow, we sure did learned a lot today."
~Bunks~
"I am beat, but earning a purple belt was sure worth it.", I said as I laid on the closest, lower bunk in exhaustion. The lights were still left on in the room.
Twilight soon followed by laying next to me with her fore-hooves behind her head, "I couldn't agree with you more.", she scooted closer over to me with her body turned towards me.
I turned my head towards her in response as we both half-closed our eyes at each other's appearance.
Twilight spoke again as she looked down at my clothes, "Hey Blake, why do humans almost always wear clothes?".
"Well for one, we wear them to stay warmer in cold climates, second, it is kinda embarrassing and a taboo to not wear clothes, especially in public.", I said with a little blush.
"What's so embarrassing about not wearing clothes?", she said with a curious expression.
"I have a question, do male ponies have- um, those things that hold their privates in?", I said while scratching my head.
"Those are called sheaths and yes, stallions have them."
"He he...", I blushed, "well you see... um, our male reproductive organs are kinda...", I paused nervously, "external.", with a softer voice.
"What?"
"One of the big reasons we kinda wear clothes is that our... uh, male 'things' embarrassingly show; It is sorta public inconvenience in my modern society."
"Oh, well sorry I asked...", I interrupted her as she blushed a little too,
"Oh no, it is not a big deal really, I mean you would find out eventually anyway.", I chuckled nerviously.
She sighed, "The reason I kinda asked is because I was... well,", she paused and rubbed the back of her head with a blush.
"Huh?", I questioned with a confused look.
"...in a little 'heat'.", Twilight said
Not knowing what that was, "'Heat'?".
She sighed, "It is a term for when... um, mares crave..."
'Oh, don't tell me where I think this is-', I quickly thought before she interrupted it,
"sex.", she blushed and squealed when she said it,
'...and it is going where I think this is!', I finished my thought.
She put covered her face with both of her fores in embarrassment, "That was stupid, I know!".
I removed her hooves from her face, "Don't worry about it: happens to a lot of girls!".
We all laughed hard from that then Twilight went on top of my chest and said, "I love you Blake, you are so funny."
"I love you too Twi-"
Her kiss on my lips was interrupted by Twilight's "Huh?".
She lifted her body up a little to find what she was rubbing against, and saw... well, how do I say this: my 'excitement'.
I was blushing intensely and struggled to respond, "Um he he... sorry I was a little well..."
She unexpectedly smiled mischievously, "I think you humans need to get out of your wool prisons more often.", she put a right hoof on my crotch and covered her mouth with her left_blushing. I widened my eyes in shock.
'HOLY SHIT, am I really going to lose my virginity to a unicorn?', I paused my thought when I closed my lids half-way and I put a right hand on the left side of her stomach, 'awesome!'.
"I- uh hope you will like um... like my-", I was cut off as she started to unbutton my jeans with her hooves.
She made an evil chuckle as she used her mouth to unzip my pants. Then she used her mouth again to pull my jeans half-way then she somehow seemed baffled looking at my boxers.
"The Fuck? Why do you humans have extra clothes underneath?", she pointed to it with a hoof.
"It aka boxers just makes wearing pants more confortable."
"I see you won't be needing that any more.", she made a flirtatious wink and pulled my boxers half-way to reveal my 'D'.
"Wow it looks different to a ponies', they have a flat tip and your's is round, hairy at the base, and big.", she petted the hardened member like a cat which brought a sample of pleasure as her beautiful hooves pleasantly rubbed against it, "I like it!".
"Oh damn!", I said with disbelief at how Twilight seems to be taking this so far but hey we are a couple so why not?
She licked and put the side of the member inside her mouth. I had received little pleasure from that and I stroked her mane as she slowly put the dick half-way in her mouth.
"Oh man!", I said in pleasure, I still can't believe that I am going to lose my virginity to a unicorn, but hey, it is not everyday you do so why not? Besides she is the greatest soul I have ever laid eyes on, our barriers that separate us are gone. I wouldn't trade a minute her for a place in eternal heaven, if interspecies relationships results in a place in hell, then we are going to hell together.
She is my missing piece in my life's a puzzle. She fill's that missing piece of heart-muscle tissue that binds us together. Nothing will put out the fires in our chests nor anything will remove the desires carved into crests. Where ever she goes is my home now, home that my feet may leave, but not my heart
As she went back and forth with her head, she massaged the penis with her tongue as she did so. I could hear some faint orgasms coming from her as she stroked it, the lighting of the room from the fluorescent lights down to the sheets we were on to everything around us were forgotten as if we ourselves were the universe. She then progressively went in further as soft skin of my penis rubbed against the moist walls of her mouth and throat. We both orgasmed in unison and the penis ejaculated in response. She removed the penis from her, swallowed some semen and spilt some all over the bed and our bodies.
"That was fucking awesome!", I said.
"I know, now...", she said as she kissed me again to rapidly exchange the left over semen in her mouth with mine and her's back. We broke the kiss and a string of semen was the only thing connected between our lips. She scooted her sexy ass over my dick and all the way onto my stomach.
She raised her tail up as she made a brief kiss on my lips, "lets get to round two."
"Ding, ding!", she giggled.
Twilight angled her upper body downwards until her nose touched my chest and her rear end was at my quads. I didn't have much build, but she seemed to enjoy it, considering the whispering orgasms she made as she tilted her head up and down, rapidly, but slowly at breath-distance. The unicorn added some small tongue-dabs on my nipples and the chest muscle surrounding it. Twilight gradually kept moving her head along and breathing against my upper chest until her lips once again met mine.
She continued to kiss me as she lowered her body slightly towards my chest to get out a fore-hoof and grab the erect member behind her so it aimed horizontally at her slit.
"You ready to fuck?", Twilight said breaking the kiss with half-lit eyes_pulling me into another slight trance.
"As ever!", I said using my right hand to grab on to her lower left flank.
She moved her sexy ass over the cock and slowly inserted it a quarter of the way and holy fuck it felt amazing: the way the soft and moist walls felt against my tip. The inside of her slit moved all around the tip to get the fluids to get the member partially lubricated before Twilight moved a little faster and deeper with it, I clenched my left fist in response from a small pleasure cramp in my left shoulder and chest muscle. I started to breath a little harder and faster as the penis was hugged by the walls of the vagina. The best part was when the cock felt the vagina's suction cup-like properties every time it goes out. With no urge to hold it any longer, our voices abruptly bursted through the halls (I really really hope they don't hear this). Our orgasms echoed even louder when Twilight angled her upper body upwards and started going in rough by dropping her ass hard on my thigh.
"Oh Jesus I think I am gonna cum!".
"I don't think Jesus isn't going to save you from... Oh!"
I massaged her cutie marks as I moaned in pleasure.
She took a hoof and grabbed my collar of my shirt and said, "I want you to fuck you dry, I want you to cum inside of me.", the assertiveness really turned me on.
"Oh man, *huff* holy shit!", I responded she kissed me.
"OH! BLAKE! OH AH *Huff* WOO!", Twilight orgasmed even louder.
Just when I thought the amount dopamine couldn't get any better, she went in even deeper with my cock and slapped her ass even harder on my thighs. I seriously thought I was going to go into shock or cardiac arrest from having so much pleasure in one place. She stopped and left the cock in there_panting.
I spoke, "That *huff* was *huff* wow!.", having no words for what just took place.
She giggled, "I am glad *huff* you like *huff* it!"
She lifted her rum to release my penis and a whole mess of cum came spilling out of her vagina. She fell sideways onto the bed next to me.
Without making a another noise, I was pulled into a trance by looking into Twilight's eyes for some time and hugging her as she was hugging and rubbing me, Twilight pulled me into another long-ass kiss. After the kiss,
"I am crazy without you, Blake.", she said breathing against my neck.
"Trillions of stars in the universe, but my star is the one in front of me.". Kissing on her sweet, succulent lips was the last thing I remembered before falling into a deep sleep.
