A Few More Good Stallions.
Chapter 29: A terrible truth. A worse threat.
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI woke up in the middle of the night. Alright. I couldn't take it anymore. I have to know what Celestia is doing with Hindsight.
'I bet she's going all Molestia on him.' I said to Alpha.
'Your telling me. I prefer Luna.'
'Are you still holding a grudge about what the other Celestia did to us?'
'Yes! How could you forget that!'
'Forget what?'
'God your an idiot.'
'And your not nice.'
'Yeah. I lost my cool right their. Sorry bro.'
'No hard feelings.' I got out of the bed and made my way out of the window. Let's see... I'm on the right wing of the castle. I need to get to the Middle than go right. I slowly made my way to the other room but I then heard flying behind me.
"What are you doing?" asked Luna.
"Uh... not checking in on my friend."
"He's fine. Real fine..." Did I just hear right? "I mean she's taking care of him." Is she? They already kissed and now their... Oh my... What have I done?
"Alright."
"Your going to check on him anyways?"
"Yeah! Wanna come?"
"Sure." She landed behind me. "I didn't hear you at all. If you didn't have a shiny silver coat than I would have never found you."
"I used to sneak around."
"Wow. How did that turn out?"
"Not well."
'Hey Bass.' said Alpha trying not to break my disguise. 'Is Luna speaking correctly?'
'She is.'
"Yes Alpha. I have been taking lessons." said Luna. We both stared at her and than back to ourselves.
"Okay." We stopped above the room where Celestia and Sight were spending the night. I hung upside down at the window to see what was going on.
Let's see here...
1. Candles.
2. Fireplace.
3. A constant noise. I swear to fucking god that If I look right I had better not see them fucking. Oh god... why! The sight will never leave my skull!
"Aw!" I pulled myself back up. "Yeah their having fun." I told Luna.
"That's always been my sister." said Luna.
"Molestia."
"What was that?"
"Celestia."
"Oh..." Nice save. "Alright." Luna took off flying for the lookout tower. She went to the telescope and began to look around.
"Okay. Awkward."
'Tell me about it.' said Alpha.
"Hmm..." I slowly turned and saw Celestia and Sight wrapped in a blanket. "How did you...?"
"Don't ask questions you don't want the answer to." said Sight.
"Right... We'll... I need to hit the old dusty trail." I said walking away quietly and not looking back at them. I climbed back in the window and sneaked to the bed. Vinyl didn't move an inch. I lifted her up on my chest like she likes and went back to sleep.
"So Dusty." said Alpha. The inside of my head looked exactly like the Tardis.
"Alpha what did you do?"
"I made our head into the coolest thing ever."
"Alpha are you calling me a police phone call box?"
"Yes. But... a portable one at that."
"Well played."
"I've been going through other ponies heads." he said throwing a bunch of documents on the floor. "Tell me what you think."
"I think that this is wrong." I said. I grabbed the one on top that said Hindsight.
"That's the worst." he said.
"What's wrong with it?" I asked him.
"You'll see." I opened it and looked into the documents. "Let's see... I came to Equestria when I was... 16 and have... Wait? He's not from Equestria?"
"He's not from this world." said Alpha.
"But how's that possible?"
"When you invented this world you must have brought others here."
"How many?"
"Look let me put it this way. Whenever someone dies on Earth they come here. When they die here they get reborn there. Understood?"
"No! That's not possible!"
"IT is possible tough! Look at it! Hindsight is really a human."
"Oh my god... and why didn't he tell us?"
"Who want's to go around all day saying I'm a human?" asked Alpha.
"Good point. What's his name?"
"David I think." he said.
"Alright. We'll ask David later."
"Maybe. I need to show you your mind." We walked to the machine in the middle. "This doesn't let us go back in time but we can still see visions from the future."
"Ah... Like our old dreams."
"Exactly." He hit a button and a light surrounded both of us and sent the image to our head. The vision was off my perspective.
"ARGH-" I heard a grunt and watched what was happening. It looked like I was getting my ass handed to me. There was this large red pony with a machete. I got back up and grabbed the guitar. What I did notice was that my hoof was black. Then when I held the guitar up to block his attack a white light stopped the vision.
"What the fuck was that?" I asked Alpha.
"I don't know! Who the hell was beating us?" he asked.
"Big. Red. Machete. Let's remember these facts."
"Alright. Oh get up. It's almost 8."
"Alright. Thanks." I walked out of the machine room and awoke in the bed. Vinyl was still holding on to me with a small bit of drool emitting from her mouth. I wiped it away and nudged her so she would wake up. She grumbled and opened her eyes.
"Hey..." she said quietly.
"Time to get up." the Alarm clock went off. "See?"
"Alright alright. Help me up." I got out and pulled the covers off her and helped her on her hooves.
"How do you have so much energy in the mornings?" she asked.
"I'll tell you my secret later." I said to her. I need to find David. I need to know what's happening.
'Alpha! Sight was here before we went back in time!'
'I didn't think of that. I don't know what's happening.'
'Time to learn.' I walked to Celestia and David's room. I didn't even knock. I just walked right on it.
"Bass?" asked Sight looking in a mirror. Celestia was still asleep.
"Shh. We're going to have a talk." i said seriously.
"What?" I grabbed him and took him to a quiet place in the hall where no one else went.
"Tell me how you got here David." I said to him.
"What! How do you know that!"
"Look I understand you. I'm Dustin by the way."
"So I'm not the only human?"
"Their are many out their. I came across some information telling me that when people die on Earth they come here. I invented this world in a coma. I also got summoned here."
"Well I died when i was 16."
"How old are you know?"
"25." 9 years? My math must be wrong. I thought he'd be 21.
"Well listen closely..." I told him everything. When I talked to the Apple family I left out all major details but I didn't spare any to Sight.
"Wow. Just wow."
"I know. Now listen. Alpha and I had a vision of a big red pony with a machete fucking me up. I need your help."
"Why?"
"You can see in the future can't you?"
"Oh! Well... shut up!"
"Hahaha. Just do it. Also I'll call you Sight still. Okay?"
"Alright Bass. We keep this professional."
"Agreed. Also 25. Not bad but I thought you would be a little younger."
"I died 9 years ago." But how is that possible? I invented this world 5 years ago! Damn paradox.
"Huh. I'm 30. Anyways do your thing." He closed his eyes and used his magic to send a signal into me.
"I see... tonight.., big red pony... and... you in pain. That's it."
"Damn it. That's all I saw in my vision." I walked away. "I'll catch up later Sight."
"Alright!"
'Alpha. Come on talk to me.'
'David seemed calm about us being human.'
'The shit we've done. Only a human would do things like us.'
'Good point.'
I kept on walking till I made it outside only to hear a voice behind me.
"Hey you!" yelled a deep gruff voice. I turned to see a giant hulking red pony approaching me.
"Oh no..."
"You the one who fucked with my buddy Blueblood?" Did he say fuck? He's not pony.
"You human?" I asked him.
"How did you know?"
"Large, mean, and violent. Yep human."
"Whatever little man. I'm going to get my buddies and we're teaching you a lesson."
"Ooh. I can't wait." He turned to show, and I shit you not, THE ABSOLUTE BIGGEST PAIR OF WINGS EVER! Yeah. I'm going to get fucked. He disappeared quite quickly.
"What was that about?" asked Vinyl. From behind. "I saw the entire thing."
"Nothing."
"Bass I heard the entire thing. Don't you think you should be worried?"
"I am worried. About him."
"Don't be like that."
"Your right. He comes from the same place that I do."
"Where is that?" asked Vinyl.
"Another story. Another time." I went inside the castle to eat my breakfast. I didn't want to leave the castle at all. How many guys were going to be there? Where was he going to meet me? So many questions filled my head...
"You okay?" asked Celestia breaking the silence. I just now noticed how quiet the room was. "Your-"
"Don't you dare say my eyebrow is twitching!" I stopped her. She smiled and went back to eating. I let out a sigh and ate some. "Just thinking."
"About what?" asked the Doctor. Sight looked back between him and me.
"This large red pony dude wants to kill me later." I said.
"Why?" asked Derpy. "I don't want anyone hurting my friends."
"He said because I messed with Blueblood." Oh come on! The damn kid deserved every bit of it!
"But he deserved that!" said Vinyl. I love you.
"I must agree." said Octavia.
"I don't know guys but wish me luck in any case if I get ambushed later." Doc patted me on the back.
"You'll be fine chap."
"Thanks man."
A few hours later
I left the castle so I could go pick up some supplies like shampoo and a toothpaste. On my way a small blue pony ran towards me. He tried to punch me but I blocked it and punched him in the gut. When he was bent over I brought both of my front hooves down on his head knocking him down. Before I could kick out his teeth another pony hit my arm when I tried to grab the weakened one and then hit me below the chin with it throwing me back.
"Ugh..." I laid there and thought about how that sucked. I got up and looked around. I counted 30 ponies.
"Welcome Bass. Welcome to hell." said the large red hulk walking behind me. He drew the same rusty machete I saw in my visions. I got up and drew the guitar in my hooves.
'Dustin fuse with me!' said Alpha.
'What?'
'Combine your power with mine.'
'But that's not possible.'
'It is! We just combine our soul wavelengths.'
'Alright. Let's go.' I felt Alpha grab my soul. My fur turned the dark black like his and I felt more powerful than ever. Just hope that's enough for the hulk.
"Bring it." I grabbed the guitar and turned it into a large warhammer. I held it up with one hoof and began to spin it around. "Time to bring down the hammer!" I yelled bringing it down on one pony and bucking the one behind me with my legs.
"Batter up!" I yelled swinging it like a baseball bat sending about 4 of them in the air like team rocket. I turned the hammer into a spear and aimed it towards the one holding a shield.
"What are you going to do with that?" he asked. I grabbed the trigger and shot the spear into the shield and pulled him towards me and I used my free hoof to knock him out. I turned the Clementine back into guitar form and began playing electric guitar. As soon as I did lightning bolts came down knocking out about 8 of them. Alright. That's 14.
"Take this!" one yelled punching me across the face. Ow! That hurt more than it usually does.
'Alpha what just happened?'
'Dustin when I fuse with you we become an warrior who focuses only on offense.'
'You mean no defense!'
'No!'
I felt a kick in the gut and someone throw me down.
"Get up." said the red giant. "I'm not done with you yet." He got on top of me and began to give me blow after blow with his right hook. I kicked him in the nuts twice and got out of the situation. When I was up I putted up a boxer stance and gave about 3 of them concussions with my hooves. I would wait for them to strike, then counter, then counter attack and beat them. I felt what was like a metal pipe hit my back leg and then Big Red kick me in the face sending me back on the floor.
"I am Big Red. I am the one who will kill you!" Huh... I totally just called his name.
'Dammit Alpha! No defense and I'm having my ass handed to me.'
'Sorry! This hurts me as much as it hurts you!'
'Well help me out here!'
'I can't!'
I managed to get on my back knees and get some air in my lungs.
"Not bad. Didn't expect you to be this good." said Big Red. I'm just going to dub him Red. He grabbed his machete and drew it from the sheath on his belt. I grabbed the guitar quickly. He swung at my neck but I used the guitar to block it.
"AAAAHHHH!" screamed Alpha in my head. The guitar was cut in half and the machete left a large gaping cut above my right eye. I couldn't see out of it due to the blood.
"No Alpha!" I grabbed what was left and dodged more of Red's attacks. "Damn!" The black part of my fur left as I felt Alpha dieing on me. I grabbed the machete when Red swung at me and threw it away from us. I gave him my strongest uppercut knocking him back.
"Damn." he said popping his jaw back in place. "Alright men. We back off for now. We'll be back Bass." he said leaving with his last few men. They left and I heard what sounded like the engine of a monster truck would make. I ignored it and grabbed what was left of Alpha.
"No no no no! Stick with me!"
'I'm dieing...'
'I'll fix this.' I closed my eyes. If Alpha is a third of my mind than I'll use another third to fix it. I used my magic to do this act. I grabbed all the pieces that were removed. Some how the guitar was cut directly in half. That sucks. I felt another piece of my mind leave. I know because of the headache. Than Alpha stopped moaning and coughing.
'Did it work?'
'It worked.' said Alpha.
'Yes it did.' said another voice.
'Alright. This is getting complicated to keep track off. Give me a sec.'
{There. That better?} I asked.
<Yeah.> said Alpha.
[Oh yeah.] said the new voice.
{Who are you?}
[I'm you dude.]
{No I mean your name dude.}
[Well if he's Alpha. Than call me... Beta.]
{Alright. I can live with that. Welcome to the team.}
I looked down on my left shoulder to see a silver pony with black hair with blue stripes in it. That's funny. Beta has my body hair color and Alpha has my actual hair color. I looked down at the Clementine. It was Half white/black with vice verse runes. All in all the only thing still fucked up is my eye. I looked at the unconscious bodies around me and sighed. Should have seen this coming.
"Bass!" yelled a voice from the distance. I turned to see Luna and Celestia running towards me.
"Hey guys. How are you doing?"
"How can you be so calm!" asked Luna. "Look at your eye!"
"It's okay. Just a cut above it. Also I see better with my left."
"And what are you doing now?" asked Tia.
"Just taking a break. Oh Alpha almost died so I used all of my magic to summon another conscious. Meet Beta." I said to them. As on cue the new guy bowed.
"That's great and all but we need to get you to a hospital!"
"No I'm fine. Really." I got up and dusted my self off. I grabbed the new Clementine and placed it on the magical harness. "See? All I need is a bandage, some witch hazel, and cotton balls and I'm as good as new."
"No!" Luna tackled me.
"Ow."
"Tia help me out." Celestia walked over and teleported us all to the hospital.
"Hello Princess." said the Doctor. I sat in the waiting room. The blood continued to drip from my face but I didn't mind. I looked beside my and saw a kid with a scrap on his arm. Then the nurse walked out.
"Alright who needs my help?" she asked. I was the only pony she looked at.
"I'm okay. This kid here has a really bad scrap and I think you should check on him." I said. I just really don't want anymore stitches.
"Come on sir. Make this easy on yourself."
"*sigh* Coming."
[Pussy-whipped.]
{Beta how does that even... no. Just no.}
<Oh jeez. Why did you have to get wounded.>
{Because some fucking idiot decides to focus only on offensive capabilities. Beta you had better be good at defense.}
[I'm the best.]
{Excellent! Alpha you were a good help but I need to switch between you two.}
<Understood. We'll work on some tactics while you get stitches.>
{What?}
"Drink this sir." said the Doctor handing me a small cup of a clear liquid.
"Ah Anesthesia. How I missed you." I drank it and began to feel woozy. "Wait this isn't Anesthesia..."
"Nurse hand me the cleaning kit -" the rest was cut off. I felt my body shut down.
{Guys they drugged me.}
<It's not pretty.>
{You can see?}
[Come here.] said Beta pointing to a large TV on the wall. It was them cleaning my wound and closing it.
{Aw I can see my brain.}
I woke up eventually. How do I know? It was like a giant gust of wind knocked me from the inside of my head and out the door. I was literally carried away.
"How's it going doc?" I asked the ponies around me.
"Good. You recovered very nicely. However your right eye will have some troubles clearing up for a few days."
"Right. Thanks." I got out of the bed and made my way to the waiting room. The princesses left me. Again. I went outside and saw that it was twilight out. By that I mean dusk. Sunset. Whatever the fuck you want to call it. Anyways it was very beautiful. Except I couldn't see out of my right eye. Well I could but... it was so blurry that it seemed like I couldn't see.
{Guys how long was I out?}
[A few hours.]
{Fuck my ass. I'm late. And hungry.} I grabbed my stomach.
"Time to go home." I said to myself. I teleported to the castle at the time when everyone was finishing with dinner.
"Hey Bass." said Sight. "Forgot to wake you earlier."
"Ass." I took a seat and grabbed some leftover salad. "All you left me was salad. Whatever." I stuffed my face with as much as I could. I don't care what I eat. If I'm hungry I'll eat just about anything. Except my waste and things that are alive. Also things that are poisonous... yeah so their are lots of things I wont eat.
"You alright?" asked Vinyl.
"No. I have a killer headache."
"I have some medicine." said Octavia.
"It's alright. I just need some rest." I stopped eating once I noticed I was full. The entire dinner was quiet. "Do you guys enjoy making my dinner awkward?" I asked them. "It's just some stitches!" They stopped looking.
"Sorry." said Derpy. Doh...
"Aw I can't stay mad at you guys." They all stood up waiting for a hug. "No group hug. I'm too sore." They all hugged me anyways. "OW! I wasn't joking!" They stopped immediately. "Alright. I'll be fine in the morning probably. Vinyl carry me to bed." She helped me up and accompanied me to bed. "Night guys!" I said.
"Night!" they all said back. Vinyl helped me on the bed when we got there.
"Are you sure your alright." asked Vinyl.
"Truthfully no. But I'm starting to feel better." she gave me another kiss on the cheek and left to go back to the dinning room.
<Tired?>
{Very. This time I really want to sleep.}
[Alright. Night.]
{Thanks Beta. Welcome to the team. Alpha are you sure your alright?}
<Never better! I actually feel stronger!>
{Good... good...} I started to fall asleep. In about ten seconds I fell asleep.
