A Few More Good Stallions.
Chapter 6: Singing Blade? Meet my size 6 hoof in your face!
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI'm back on track with this story! Having loads of fun writing it! I already have so many great fucking ideas that my head will just explode! ~ Static.
I flew home in less than 10 seconds. Suck it Rainbow Dash!
"Are you guys okay?" I yelled and scared every pony in the room.
"Who are you?" asked Twilight. Oh yeah. Spy armor.
"I am... SHADOW. I need to protect you Twilight Sparkle."
"From what?"
"It appears an old friends of yours, a Trixie, has called an assassin to get her revenge. I'm here to stop Singing Blade from..."
"Singing Blade!" Most of the ponies began screaming and panicking
"Yes... I'm here to stop him."
"Well I appreciate your bravery." said Rarity. "But you'll be destroyed!"
"Thanks for the... confidence... who's that?" I pointed to the large hulking pegasus outside. He had many spikes and his wings were that off a bat. Holy Shit!
"Uh... Singing Blade?" I asked him.
"That's me. What do you want small fry?"
"I'm here to stop you from killing my friend Twilight here."
"Friend?" she asked. "I don't even know you."
"Don't worry Twilight. Celestia sent me."
"Hahaha..." Blade laughed at that. "So she thinks you can beet me?"
"Actually I came her on my own free will."
"Then your dumber than I thought. Come and face me."
"Alright then Singing Blade. Meet my size 6 hoof!" I gave him a roundhouse kick throwing him outside of the house.
"That was awesome!" said Rainbow Dash. I jumped over his sword thrust. How did someone so fucking big move that fast?! I grabbed his head and pulled myself closer to him and began to punch him as many times as I could.
"Your pretty fast." he said. He tried to tackle me into the wall but I flung myself over his head and jumped off. "Damn!" was what he said pulling himself out of the wall. I just realized I had no weapons. He has these two vibrating swords! I know they cut me somehow because I got cut on the neck. Shit!
"Your a good opponent. Whats your name?"
"I'm not allowed to tell you but you may call me SHADOW."
"Alright Shadow. Let's fight for real." He rammed into me like a charger from Left 4 Dead 2. I couldn't dodge it so I grabbed the nearest pipe and did what I do best. Beat him multiple times in the head with a lead pipe till he let's go off me. As soon as he did I ran to get some distance from him.
"I just want the girl Shadow."
"And I want you to know if you touch one hair on Twilight then Celestia is going to have both our asses laminated and put on display for all of Equestria to see."
"I can't just quit a job."
"You can! It's that easy! We already put some sense into Trixie."
"You did what! You assaulted my client!"
"Uh oh." He got bigger. Their was fire in his eyes and when he pulled out his sword a singing noise was heard. Like a chime you bang on the wall. Glad I was wearing a mask which canceled out any of his brain damaging plans!
"SHADOW! It's Watcher! I know your not going to back down so I'm sending some men with weapons for you! Survive until their in place!"
"Alright. Hey Blade! I met your mom last night!"
"GGGRRRRRRRR!" was the only noise he made.
"And she was a really nice pony who never did anything to turn me on." Oh god! I'm going to die for reals!
"We were working on some weapons for you SHADOW." said Dawn. "We got two scythes in the box behind the building to your right. They should get the job done." I took off and got in an alley. I was basically impossible to see in the dark. When he was going from building to building I made my way to the box.
"Damn!" there was two large scythes that had positions for me to place my hooves in them. They go up my arm backwards and so I guess it's built for crowd control.
"You can put them together to make a double sided halberd." said Dawn.
"Appreciate it!" I took off after Blade. When I found him he was about ready to start killing innocent people to get my attention.
"Ah! There you are!"
"Sorry Blade! Had to get properly armed."
"Then let's do this." We charged each other in the air. I held up my hooves and blocked off both of his swords. When he was struggling to get them free I quickly moved my right hoof up and sliced him across his face.
"OW! DAMMIT!" He held his face in pain. I took this time to get up close and personal with him. I gave him about 15 good non-lethal cuts. I didn't want to kill him If I could avoid it.
"Shadow head my words. I shall not harm Twilight Sparkle." Phew! That's great news! "I shall hunt you down!" Well... shit. He took off to the sky and disappeared.
"Great job Shadow." said Celestia. "You stood up to the best assassin in Equestria."
"Wait he's the best? Hahaha!" I took him down like butter on bread. It was that easy!
"Thank you!" said Twilight. All the ponies in town cheered. "Hooray!" I felt someone touch my mask so I smacked the hoof. As it turns out I just smacked Rainbow Dash.
"Hey what gives!" she said.
"Sorry. I can't take this off." I told her. I don't want people to know it was me. I don't need Singing Blade hunting me down. He sounded like he really meant it. "I know you don't like heroes Rainbow Dash. But trust me I don't need you unmasking me just yet."
"Uhhuh. And next your going to tell me that Celestia hired you to be her spy or something."
"That's exactly right." Celestia said. She was trying to keep everyone distracted so I could get away. When I got to an alley way I began to talk to Dawn.
"WATCHER get me to the castle please!" I asked him.
"You got it." he said. I was in the armory Celestia set up for me. "Nice job Dustin. Didn't know you had that much guts."
"I didn't either Dawn." I took off my scythes and armor. "Thanks for the weapons. You really saved my life their."
"No prob. Just be thankful I had those packed up and ready to go."
"I'm more than thankful Dawn. Now I'm a god damn hero."
"Don't let it go to your head."
"I'm not. It's just that their supporting murder. They want me to kill. I'm no saint."
"Their isn't anything to be proud of what we do is their?" he asked me.
"Yes. It's us. We have to get our hooves dirty for others. This isn't new to me." I told him.
"Then we will get through this fine. Dustin I think we need to lay low for a while."
"I agree. I don't want Singing Blade to know that I'm SHADOW and kill me." I was spraying some medical aid spray on the cut on my chest.
"Come back tomaro. Until then we rest."
"Agreed. See ya Dawn."
"Bye Shafer." I left the building. I can't tell my friends or my wife to be that I was SHADOW. Or Shadow. I like using all caps because it sounds like a codename but they think it's my actual name. Odd... I saw Trixie over at the market. She still has that brand! Hahahahaha...
"Stop staring at Trixie." she told me.
"Sorry. Couldn't help but notice the tattoo on your flank." I told her.
"What?!" She grabbed two mirrors and looked at it. Her face was of pure shock. She quickly ran home and grabbed her cape. I left before she made it back to yell at me for looking at her ass. When I got near home I noticed the destruction I caused. Not much but their was some collateral damage. A piece of a wall fell on a kid and gave him a concussion was what the chief director told me at the scene. He knew I was Shadow. He was the one who didn't call the SWAT ponies on my ass.
"Thanks Chief." I told him.
"Keep up the good work Shafer." he told me. We parted ways and I saw a few ponies cheering for Shadow to come back out. Celestia pointed out he was gone. She and I winked at each other and I went home.
"So what happened guys?" I asked my friends.
"This bad ass spy came here and saved us from the assassin Singing Blade." said Twilight.
"Total showoff!" said Rainbow Dash.
"What's her problem?" I asked Twilight.
"You know how she gets when someone is a better hero than her." she told me.
"I guess. Did you see the spy's face?" I asked her.
"No he was wearing a body suit with a mask and goggles. A high tech pegasus." she told me.
"Good technology? Impressive." I told her as if I didn't have a clue.
"What did you do today?" asked Static Wielder. Shit fuck monkeyballs!
"I was training this morning..." still trying to come up with a lie. "... and I delivered a message from the Princess to Trixie. Something about harassment I think." I told them. I'm a great lier. Always have been.
"Sounds nice." said Sky. He slept during the entire thing.
"That was a badass spy!" said Forest.
"Aw! And I missed him?" I asked.
"And all his fans! I mean come on!" Rainbow was still complaining in the background. Pinkie was trying to cheer her up. I got bored so I went to hang with the kids.
meanwhile at Canterlot Elementary
Sage's POV
I was taking notes in class while paying attention to the teacher.
"Can anyone tell me who was the human being that came here and created this dimension?" I raised my hoof.
"Yes Sage?"
"Is it Dustin?"
"Yes! Good job Sage." I smiled. I was the smart kid in class.
"Of course she knows it." said Diamond Tiara. She was moved here from Ponyville after her dad got his job repositioned here in Canterlot. "I mean she basically lives with the guy." What a... what was the word dad used? Batch?
"Diamond Tiara don't be jealous because Silver Sage is smarter than you and is younger as well." said Terra.
"At least my mom doesn't hide when she sees her own shadow."
"Leave my mom out of this Tiara." he said going back to his notes. I heard a *tink* noise at the window. I looked outside and saw Dustin waving at us. I waved at him. He looked so joyful. How can anypony be so happy? He held up a sign. 'Would you like me to pick you up from class early?' it said. I shook my head no. He gave me some puppy dog eyes and a sad lip. I shook my head again and he just shrugged it off. He walked away.
"Silver Sage? Would you answer this problem?" I looked at the board. It was a half-life problem.
"What kind of scientific method is this called?"
"Is it a half-life?" I asked her.
"Yes! I am so giving you a golden star." She put a star beside my name on the chart to the left of the board.
Number of stars:
Sage: 34 no wait... 35
Terra: 11
Surprise: 9
Dinky: 9
Silver Spoon: 0
Diamond Tiara: 0
Applebloom: 7
Scootaloo: -5. How is that possible?
Sweetie Belle: 9. Now why can't Scoots be like Sweetie?
"Your still on the top of the class Sage. Keep up the good work!" said Mr. Cheerilee. She got moved here when Dustin destroyed the Ponyville Elementary by accident. So much better than Ms. Grouch. She was a total grouch.
Yesterday
"So I just throw this Static?" asked Dustin. He was practicing his aim.
"Yes. Be careful though. That's an actual bomb." Dustin threw a grenade out a window but Pinkie stood their for no reason, hit the grenade with her face cutting it on, it bounced off the ground and went into a pneumatic air tube and shot out of the house. We all watched it fly towards Ponyville and the school blow up. Luckily no pony was hurt.
"PPPPFFFFTTT!" was Dustin trying to whistle as he walked away.
Now
Surprise threw me a note. "Hey Sage can you help me?" I wrote 'With what?' and threw it back. He scribbled on it and threw it again.
'I need help setting up to scare Diamond Tiara. She was a total jerk to you a few moments ago.' I laughed. We continued the note throwing.
'What do you need?'
'What is she scared of? I really want to surprise her.' I used my magic to go through her thoughts. She's scared of bad stories... dirt... and anybody better than her. I wrote those down and threw the note to him.
'I'm not sure how to scare her with anything you said except dirt. Guess that's what we get to make due with.' Then the class bell rang.
"Okay class! Be careful and have a great day!" said Ms, Cheerilee. We all left and watched as Surprise came down from the air vent behind Diamond and dumped a few buckets of mud and dirt on her.
"AAGGHHH! This is so gross! I'm going to get you for this party boy."
"Surprise!" He said jumping back into the air vent. It was worth a good laugh. Then Terra and I walked outside. Fluttershy came to meet him outside and same thing with Sky meeting Surprise. Dustin was the parent who came to me.
"Hey kiddo! Static wanted me to pick you up today." He told me.
"Dad always picks me up. What did you do to him?"
"He took Twilight to the castle. Someone tried to kill your mom but one of Celestia's spies saved her and so they have to go talk to the princess." He told me.
"Is mom okay?"
"Not a single scratch on her. Then again I didn't see the fight." He told me while putting me on his back. "You have fun at school?" he asked.
"Yeah! And Diamond Tiara got a Surprise scare." I told him.
"Oh I see. Hahaha.... I love you kids. So much fun and energy." He began flying towards home. "I know that Diamond kid. She's a total snob like her daddy."
"You know her dad?"
"He owes me one. I'm Celestia's personal guard and I helped him."
"Wow. Your pretty cool Dustin."
"Thanks Sage. Your dad is better than me so don't forget that." he said.
"Okay." We got home pretty fast. When we did mom and dad meet us at the door.
"Thanks for getting Sage, Dustin." said Twilight. He and dad went outside to talk so it was just me and mom.
"What's wrong mommy?" I asked her.
"I was almost killed today."
"Are you okay?!" Oh no! Someone's trying to kill mom?
"I'm perfectly fine. I was saved by a pony named Shadow. He works for Celestia."
"Oh okay. As long as your fine right?"
"Your right Silver. I'm just still a little scared that's all."
"Okay. Is their something we can do?"
"We can talk about school!" Here we go again.
