A Few More Good Stallions.
Chapter 20: I'm going to teach you about how I am a rocket man!
Previous Chapter Next ChapterWell yesterday was April 16th. It was the 5 anniversary of the infamous shootings at Virginia Tech. If anyone is reading this than please remember all of the innocent lives lost on this day. I'd appreciate it.
I was trying to sleep but I kept turning and moving in my bed. I could only think about my sister and Luna. Just how similar they were and what similar pain they had to go through. I can't sleep. No matter what I've tried I just can't do it with a guilty mind. So I got up and began preparing myself to get to Zephyr. Let's see here. I need to go over my checklist. Great now I feel like Twi.
1. Check armor for maintenance. Check.
2. Get all weapons ready. Check.
3. Get a good surrounding of the lighthouse. X. I don't know what the area is like or who I'm going to fight.
"You awake Watcher?" I said into my headset. No response. Guess I'm doing this solo. I walked out of my room and saw that every light in the house was off. All the ponies were sleeping. I equipped my helmet so I could see and check the time. 1:57? God I am up early. How long have I been trying to sleep now? I cut on my goggles and made my way outside.
"Yeah... I'm awake." said a tired voice on my headset.
"I can't sleep. I need to see Dr. Z now." I told him.
"Dude... It's like 2 in the morning. Can you try again in like 9 hours?"
"Once again I can't sleep." I started to fly towards the bay which he adopted as home. And by he I mean the backstabbing son of a bitch who I am going to kill! I made my way to the beach and stopped to scope out the area. There was an army outside. I saw Charging Tank and Charm Cutter at the head of the group making a speech.
"We will not lose!" yelled Cutter. "We will not give in to this murderer. This Shadow can't hurt us if we shine the light on him!" Uh... I don't think it works that way. I transferred myself over there via shadow powers and stood behind her. "We learned that he sleeps at night mostly so that gives us plenty of time to prepare to meet him!" She yelled. She turned around and her entire brown coat when white. She was shaking like a leaf.
"Boo!" I whispered before taking her hostage. "Alright no one move!" I yelled. They all stopped trying to kill me. "Now get Zephyr down here!" I yelled at a small pony who went inside the building. When he came out he was helping an old pony walk.
"It appears we meet again comrade!" he yelled at me.
"Zephyr! What the fuck where you thinking!"
"I was thinking that we humans deserve our land."
"But this is Equestria!"
"I know. It's in our nature to destroy Dustin. How's Kay? Oh... too soon?"
"You knew about this?"
"I helped organized it. I just needed to convince Bloodmane. Which he did a good job and you killed him saving me the trouble."
"I will kill you!" I slit the throat of Cutter and threw her body at Charging Tank. I flew past all the other ponies and made my way to him. He then pulled out a familiar metal weapon and pushed a button on his costume. He disappeared and I received a hard punch to the neck. When I went down I felt something tap on the back of my head. I heard a hammer being pulled down.
"You weren't much of a fight. How disappointing." I grabbed the gun and flipped him over me. I took it out of his hooves and put it on my hoof where the weapon was adjusted for ponies to shoot. I turned and shot at every pony that was charging at me. Including Tank I saw all their brains get blown out. When I ran out I rushed into the crowd using the empty gun as a blunt weapon.
"Take this fucker!" I grabbed one and rammed the barrel into his neck about 3 times crushing his trachea. I flipped it upside down and used it as a pistol whip and knocked out about 5 of them. Then on my left I was a group of 4 ponies. They were the ones that escaped when I was avenging Luna. "You 4 are next. Do that to my princess will you?"
"Please mister! We didn't mean it!" One of them cried as I drew out my claws.
"Their is only one meaning of rape and you meant it. You reek of the stench of sin." I chopped his head off. I stabbed two of them and tackled the last one not using my weapons. I continued to punch him in the head until he slowly died of brain trauma. I drew my blades again and watched as the entire army disbanded leaving only a Zephyr left.
"Dustin stop this madness!"
"Agreed. I'll make it quick."
"I'm fighting to survive. I read a book on time and how if I kill enough here I save enough in Earth."
"But the wasteland never happened! I created you in my dream doctor!"
"But that's not possible. I need to sacrifice more to counter balance the death of our worlds."
"You've sacrificed too much..."
"Only a fool would say that." Guess he truly went mad. I held one of my blades up at him from far away. "I don't see how you can stab me from over there." I smirked and shot all 3 blades into his skull. The bang was loud enough to wake up everyone within miles.
I turned away from the dead bodies and began my walk home when I heard laughter behind me. I turned to see him standing back up laughing his lungs out. He was blue or ethereal-ish. He picked up all the dead bodies and began to float in the air.
"You have finished my plans Dustin Shafer! You are a true fool!" He absorbed them all and grew into a large blue dragon. "I have the power of the underworld now!"
"Uh oh..." Celestia teleported beside me.
"What have you done this time?" she yelled at me.
"It appears I may have doomed us all." I said. He then threw a punch and sent me into the lighthouse smashing the building.
"You can't stop me!" He yelled as I climbed out of the rubble. I gave Celestia a signal to beat it and she escaped the fight.
"Oh I can... Just give me a minute." I was still trying to get out. When I climbed out I saw him drinking a glass of tea.
"You see Shafer I absorbed all of those dead souls to create a much more powerful body allowing me to use much more powerful magic." He clapped his hands together leaving a rift floating. "I just combined our worlds!" I picked up a pole from the camp and threw it through the rift destroying it. "Stop that."
"It's not going to happen Z! I am going to kill you!"
"If you can!" I flew up towards his chest. He was ready for me as he blocked it so instead of hitting the area he thought was going to be injured I flew into his eye socket. "AAAGGGGHHHH! Get out!"
"I'm not doing it." I went into the back of his head and saw his brain. It looked more like a fountain with souls emitting from it.
"Why did you kill me?" asked one of them.
"Honest mistake." I told him.
"I didn't want to die..." said another.
"And I didn't want to come here and lose my wife. Now I'm in some dude's brains. Ugh."
"Get out!" yelled Zephyr. I looked over at his brain and saw it had a little plug connecting to the wall.
"Oh man... I love cartoons." I said while pulling the plug and watching his body shut down. He fell down on his face covering my eye exit. "I am not going out his ass." I used my one remaining blade arm to cut my way out of the back of his neck. When I got out looking like a bloody mess I saw all my friends, the princess, and a few thousand spectators. "Oh boy."
"Dustin! What the hell is wrong with you!" yelled an angered Twilight.
"It's okay Twilight! I may have created this monster but I stopped it so we're all good!"
"No! No we are not all good! You killed so many ponies!"
"Now Twilight..."
"Don't interrupt me! This monster was made because of your sins!" Ouch. "What's keeping him from coming back?" she asked. Everyone stared at me.
"I'm going to teach you something Twilight Sparkle and I want you all to watch!" I flew under the dragon and lifted him up. "I'm going to teach you about how I am a rocket man!" I started to fly and carry the beast with me all the way to the moon. I equipped my helmet which Dawn fitted with a oxygen converter mask. When I was in orbit I threw his body out into space and decided to stand on the moon.
"Huh... It's actually nice up here." I looked to my right and saw a couch, a TV, and a food making machine. Guess I know how Luna survived up here. Maybe I can breath in space. I took my mask off and took in a deep breath before letting it out. "I can breathe in space! Besides I'm probably gonna get banished up here for causing so much trouble down there. Doubt it."
20 minutes later
I was standing on Earth listening to Twilight's lecture which I just zoned out of. I could hear her words but they went in one ear and out the other. Why is my hair blowing? Are words really that powerful?! No.
"Dustin Shafer!" echoed Celestia in my head. Everyone was quiet and we all looked at her. "You have caused trouble and panic in this land. You are not the same person we thought you were."
"And what kind of person am I? What was I supposed to be Celestia? You can't change someone! That is just not possible."
"That does it! You are banished to the moon!" Her voice echoed through the world. The only other noise I heard was a glass break.
"Uh huh. And for how long?"
"A thousand years!"
"Celestia I won't live that long." She aimed her horn at me and shot me with a spell.
"No this is much worse. I just increased your life span to that of an alicorn."
"I thought you were immortal."
"I am. So is Luna. All the others aren't. You will live for a few thousand years." Then she zapped me with another spell sending me to the moon. "Until then enjoy your vacation."
"Great. I'm on the moon!" Am I going to go insane? I might. "What the fuck. I thought Twilight said that Celestia had a crush on me." I sat on the couch and cut on the TV. Then the robot that makes food started talking.
"Hello master Shafer. I have heard of what has happened."
"*sigh* What did I do so bad this time?" I asked her. Yes it had a woman's voice.
"Well besides almost summoning a monster who wanted to kill all species of this world and repopulate the human race not much."
"But I stopped him!"
"And cause so much destruction and pain in the way." I stopped talking now. It was right. I guess this was my fault. I slid down in the couch and thought to myself. "What would you like to eat?"
"What's good?"
"How about a dandelion and hay sandwich?"
"Fine." I just now decided to think about what just happened. I just got banished to the moon. Now I'm going to mess all those weddings and be late for work. Then the robot handed me a sandwich. "How did you get this here?"
"I made it down there and sent it up here."
"Impressive." I took a bit out of it. "Not bad." A thousand years doesn't sound so bad. Right?
