A Wolf Among Ponies
Chapter 63: Chapter 63 Journy to Libertalia Part 1
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"Seriously that's your nickname?" I asked as I lay in bed with two satisfied mares.
"Kinda embarrassing isn't it," Spitfire said with a blush.
"Hey just goes to show that no one is perfect especially the fabled Wonderbolts. Also I say it's pretty good idea to use your most intense failed moments as nicknames means you don't care about it. But, you could have informed Dash first she was given that name by bullies and it hit her pretty hard," I said.
"Yeah I heard about it from Dash and I felt like a major jerk," Spitfire said.
"Hey I noticed this but when Rainbow was in that performance with you lot. you pulled of some of my moves from when I was piloting the Winged Wolf," I said.
"Uh yeah I found those moves kinda cool and thought hell we should use those sometime you’re not mad are you?" Spitfire asked.
“Nah in fact I’m glad you liked those tricks,” I said.
Suddenly, Luna let out a groan of annoyance as she nuzzled harder against my neck.
"Better get some rest now otherwise Luna is going to be screaming at us for waking her up," I said.
"Got it...also Ash...thanks again for helping me," Spitfire said.
"Yeah you can make up to me by buying some painkillers tomorrow," I said as I winced when an unconscious Luna placed a hand on my pelvis.
Few weeks later
The stallions had recovered nicely after the dreaded lust filled season the stallion immortals who were paired with the princesses were in the worst condition. But, as thanks and an apology the princesses paid for the hospital bills and decided to give them a raise. Also I had a very long chat with Celestia and she flat out apologized for her actions which I forgave. But, now I was in Rarity's Canterlot Boutique with the mane 6 and Luna, waiting for Rarity to unveil the Aephoceria's Architectural Amazement. Sassy Saddles called up some fashion magazine company and they sent a pony by the name of Fashion Plate, I even called up Fleur and Fancy Pants in secret who were delighted to come.
"Rarity when I heard that you were making a new collection from Sassy Saddles I demanded to come see it first hand *gasp* what kind of genius styles will you wow us with this time?" Fashion Plate asked in excitement.
"Well this is actually a piece inspired by a long forgotten kingdom and the name was given by a good friend of mine it is called Aephoceria's Architectural Amazement," Rarity said.
"Well with a name like that I'm sure to be amazed," Fashion Plate said.
"As I would be Rarity," Fleur said as she and Fancy Pants walked over.
"Oh Fleur, Fancy I wasn't aware you were both here," Rarity said.
"Miss Der Lis do you know Miss Rarity?" Fashion Plate asked.
"Oh yes Fashion Plate many of her dresses I've worn on the runway my personal favourite was the Summer Beach," Fleur said.
"You saying you designed that beautiful gown?" Fashion Plate asked.
"Oh that dress was made with some help from the same friend who helped me name my newest line. Speaking of I should introduce these magnificent creations," Rarity said before she stepped on stage and cleared her voice. "Mares and Gentlecolts today I'm proud to say this line was created when I was on a trip to a place long forgotten called Aephoceria. Which is also known as the Demonic Angels original home."
Many of the audience gasped in surprise before the curtains opened revealing a dress that looked like a lush green forest with gaps of blue in-between what looked like tree trunks. The top and ends of the sleeves looked like leaves and on the left arm was a small bluebird, and on the other sleeve wrapping around it was a vine with flowers blooming from it. Finally along the bottom of the dress were creatures made of the forest.
"Now this dress was inspired by the great forests that surrounded the kingdom and all the creatures that lived inside that was given life by the forest itself. I call it Forest Breath," Rarity said.
"Well my breath is certainly stolen," Fashion Plate said.
Rarity giggled before another dress came on stage this one was mostly grey but had thin sparkling blue lines running down the sides like water. It also had a grey stone dragon much like the one on the fountain in Aephoceria. It curled its way around the waist and came up on the back and over the left shoulder as if it were guarding the wearer and there were other figures there as well.
"Now this one was inspired by the fountain in the castle grounds which was still operating and also untouched by time showing its strength. I call this the Fountain of Greatness," Rarity said.
"Great doesn't even begin to cover it Rarity," Fashion Plate said.
Just then the next dress to come up was a white dress that made the dress look like it was made of mosaic tiles. There was also a black pattern which reminded me of the library floor and on the chest was a pair of blooming roses and a key entwined between them. Finally going around the waist was a sash that looked like a scroll and there was a complete sentence sewn into the sash.
"Now this dress was inspired by the colossal library in the palace easily bigger than the one in Canterlot Castle. The words written into the pages held as much mystery as the room itself. I call it Words of Truth," Rarity said.
"An amazing dress Rarity but you must tell me why did you give this dress that name?" Fashion Plate asked in excitement while Rarity giggled a bit.
"Oh there are so many reasons why Fashion Print for you see there are many secrets that hide in a library and if you pay attention enough they will share the truth with you. Also some very true words a friend once said to me once are imprinted here on the sash," Rarity said as she held up the sash.
"Can you tell us what it says?" Fashion Plate asked.
"Of course it says a mare's beauty matters not on the outside but on the inside," Rarity said.
"Well I must say this friend must be quite the charmer," Fleur said.
"I'll say," Fashion Plate said.
The next dress to appear was blue and looked to be made of flames which reminded me of Greek Fire and there were a few bits of silver and gold here and there. On the back of the dress was a set of metal and flaming wings.
"Oh now this stunning dress was inspired by the guardian’s undying loyalty to the ones they serve. Much like the eternal fire that keeps them going their will and loyalty and desire to protect their home is endless and fierce. I call it Fiery Faith," Rarity said.
"Well that's one way to turn up the temperature," Fashion Plate said.
"And finally I'd like to introduce the final ensemble and also my friend who if it wasn't for him this collection wouldn't be possible. Also mares and stallions this one is for both of you to wear. This ensemble was inspired by the stained glass window that stands in Canterlot in honour of our king of Equestria King Ash Blade. I call it Balance in Harmony,” Rarity said
Suddenly a spotlight shone down on both Luna and I revealing the pair of us. I wore a suit that was decorated in a swirl of midnight blues, golds and silver here and there. On my right shoulder was the symbol for the Demonic Angels made of gold and silver. Also on my jacket over my heart was a yin and yang of both the sun and moon. A tie was tucked into my jacket that looked like the blade of Whispering Wind. Finally loosely clinging to the back of my right shoulder was a short navy blue cape with my cutie mark on it. Meanwhile Luna was wearing an elegant navy blue dress. And going from the bottom of the dress was my wing that went upward and around the waist. The wing went up the back of the dress till it became a 3D wing sticking out behind the left shoulder of the dress. Going along the border of the navy blue before it torches the wing was a border of golden leaves and vines and also the navy blue sparkled like stars. The chest area of the dress was decorated with gold and blues with my cutie mark on it. And finally on the lower part of the dress was another yin and yang sun and moon. The outfits took everyone by storm especially Fashion Plate till he came out of his moment and walked over to Rarity.
"Rarity your Aephoceria's Architectural Amazement is by far the grandest collection I've ever had the pleasure to witness. By tomorrow morning I'll have your collection on the front cover for the world to see. I guarantee you customers will be flooding this boutique for a while now," Fashion Plate said before he left.
"Rarity you did a fabulous job on these designs I dare say my managers will be begging me to wear them," Fleur said.
"And if I'm not mistaking Ash these designs came from you're kingdom?" Fancy Pants asked.
"Yep except the last one it was of the stained glass window in Canterlot," I said.
"Bobbins and Bodkins Rarity I've never seen so many orders for one line alone. Why each garment dwarfs the princess dress by a landslide," Sassy Saddles said causing Rarity to look at her in shock before she fainted but I was quick to catcher her and began fanning her.
"Is she alright?" Fleur asked with worry.
"Probably just overcome by the fact that this line is this popular already I think she just needs some rest," Twilight said as she and the others came over.
Suddenly I received a text from Spike and when I go to look at it my eyes widen in shock.
"Ash is everything alright?" Applejack asked.
"Something's going down on earth Spike just got a message from Sunset asking for me to get there ASAP can you guys apologise to Rarity for me and explain what's happening," I said.
"Can do you just go and kick some butt," Rainbow said before I teleported into a change room to get changed and left.
I stepped through the portal and expected to be some terrible mess or monster attacking or this world’s mane 6 and Sunset Shimmer. But, instead I was greeted by a typical school and everything seemed calm. I then pulled out my phone and rang Sunset I waited for a few seconds till the phone was picked up.
"Ash is that you?" Sunset asked.
"Hey Sunset where are you and what's going on?" I asked.
"Ash I don't know how to explain it right now but we need you in Washington we're outside the Lincoln Memorial Sunset said before she hung up.
I was left confused at what was going on but I cloaked myself with an invisibility spell and took off towards Washington. Once I made it I flew behind a pillar and made sure there was nobody or cameras about before I removed the cloaking spell and made my wings disappear. I then stepped out from behind the pillar and saw my human friends were at the bottom of the stairs.
"Hey guys want to explain what they hey is going on?" I asked as I jogged over to the group.
"Ash there's been an attack at the White House," Rosa said.
"Whoah, whoah, whoah hang on a second an attack on the safest house in the world?" I asked.
"It gets worse Ash Buckingham Palace, the Catholic Church have been attacked as well. The Queen of England and the Pope himself are now missing and the President is being held captive inside the White House along with his family," Jabir said.
"So what does this have to do with me?" I asked.
"Duh we need you to rescue them," Rainbow said causing me to laugh.
"Rescue that's a good one you had me worried there for a bit," I said as I recovered.
"Ash this isn't a joke this is serious," Rebecca said.
"You guys want me to just go rescue The President of The United States along with if they are there the Queen of England and the Pope of the Catholic Church. Tell me if I missed anything," I said.
"Yeah what's the problem?" Sunset said.
"The problem Sunset is that if I do this I'm going to be putting Equestria in major danger of being discovered and we're supposed to keep this info quiet," I said.
"Can't you just turn invisible and take them down?" Rainbow asked.
"A bunch of people mysteriously die and hostages just walk out unsure of what happened. Oh yeah that's not going to ask questions," I said making the sarcasm obvious.
"Ash a lot of people died in there today they need your help," Rosa pleaded.
"Rosa I may be one of the most powerful things in creation but there are things even I can't do," I said before I turned around revealed my wings and took off.
My flight was quiet for me I felt guilty for deciding not to help them but I knew I couldn't risk Equestria being discovered it would make problems not only for the princesses but the world itself. Suddenly, a whisper of voices enter my ears and as I fly more join and get louder. Soon I find myself finding it difficult to fly and keep my mind focused on one thing. Suddenly, I fly into something knocking me out of the air and knocking me out.
"Looks like he's coming around."
"Good cause I need to kick his ass flying into me like that."
"It's not like you were flying any better Rainbow Dash.
I open my eyes and sat up and felt a massive migraine enter my head causing me to groan.
"The heck happened?" I asked as I looked around and saw all of my friends from both Equestria and earth had gathered around me along with the CMC, Daring Do and the Immortals.
"You alright Ash you look like you hit your head pretty hard," Rage said.
"I'm fine but what are you lot doing here?" I asked.
When you left I decided to inform my mother of what was happening and so fearing it was a monster banished to earth and you would need backup. We came through the mirror and contacted Sunset Shimmer and well here we are," Luna said.
"Okay but why are the foals here?" I asked.
"We wanted to hang out with Akachi," The CMC said in sync.
"Got us with saying they'll behave for a month and they used their cuteness," Rage said.
"Okay but what about you Daring last I heard you found a tomb belonging to an old pony tribe," I said.
"Oh that's old news in fact I'm on vacation and came to visit Rainbow to see if she had something to do because I was bored. That led me here but changing the topic what's this I hear about kidnapped leaders?" Daring asked.
"My friends from over here have asked me to rescue them," I said as I stood up.
"Then why were you flying in the opposite direction?" Pinkie asked.
"Because I wasn't going to rescue them," I said calmly.
The group was in silence at my words the main 6 and the stallions and Spike from Equestria along with the Immortals, Daring, Gilda and Trixie were staring at me in shock. But Rage, the princesses, Faust and Discord looked at me curiously.
"Wait a second you don't wish to help them?" Twilight asked as if she misheard.
"You heard me," I said.
"What's the deal dude what did they do to you and when someone is normally in danger you don't even hesitate to jump into it so what's the deal?" Rainbow asked getting in my face.
"The deal is Rainbow if I do save those people then I'll be risking the exposure of Equestria not to mention heaven and hell. The world will be thrown into a state of chaos and not the kind Discord and Eris dish out very bad chaos. Also if they do find Equestria or if they can which I doubt capture me we or I'll be turned into a freaking experiment," I said causing Dash to back off and for everyone to process my words carefully. "Look I feel guilty about not doing this as well but we don't have any options in the way of saving three world leaders and keeping Equestria hidden as well."
Suddenly the voices from before ripped into my head forcing me to my knees once more.
"Ash are you alright?" Rosa asked as she and Luna helped me up.
"Those damn voices are back," I said.
"Here let me," Faust said before she walked up to me and placed a hand on my head and after a bit the voices stopped and Faust smiled at me. "Better?"
"Yeah but what happened?" I asked.
"That's simple Ash those were preys," Faust said.
"Wait preys you mean someone can actually hear those?" I asked causing Faust to nod. "Oh gee now I'm just frustrated."
"How come?" Dash asked.
"All those times when I actually prayed for someone to help us escape that dreaded slave pit all the times I wished for others safety. Every time each one has been ignored and we were left to fend for ourselves," I said causing everyone to look at each other. "I need to be alone guys."
I opened my wings and flapped once and took to the air normally when I need to clear my head I go off on my own and try to seclude myself as much as I can. However the prayers returned and I forgot how to ask Faust how to turn them off. But suddenly, I stopped and realized on what I was thinking if I just shut the voices out then I'll be no better than the ones who were supposed to be listening. But, I then remembered I shouldn't reveal myself to anyone suddenly a voice louder than the rest entered my head so I decided to listen.
"Whoever is up there if you are listening please here me this one time."
I looked around and felt the presence of the voice was coming from a hospital. So I quickly flew over and discovered the source was coming from a large room. The room was filled with kids who were all asleep except for a little girl. I guessed she was about 10 year old. She was sitting in her bed and her hands clasped together in a preying motion.
"Maybe you do exist or maybe you don't but please I only want one thing and it's not to get better. You see my daddy is in the president's special service and was at the white house today so can you send a guardian angel down to keep him safe. If you can do this for me I'll never ask anything from you again," the girl said before she laid down in her bed and went to sleep.
I sat there for an unknown amount of time her prayer still ringing in my head. My body then took control of itself and pushed open the window and I entered however I didn't oppose it. I entered the room and put on my assassin robes and mask and walked over to the child's bed. I looked at her little form before I noticed a photo frame. I picked it up before I looked at it and saw the girl and two adults one male the other female who were presumably the girl’s parents.
"Damn it I'm such a sucker for kids," I said quietly before I put the photo frame down.
I was about to walk back over to the window and placed my hand on the window frame and was about to step out when I felt eyes on me. I turned around and saw a few kids were up and staring at me so I simply raised a finger to my face and made a shushing noise. I then leaped out the window and took off back to my friends, and when I saw them I landed on the ground and walked over to them.
"Ash you're back," Rage said announcing my presence.
"Yeah and I think we should talk," I said.
Later at The Pentagon.
I was patiently sitting in the office inside the pentagon wearing my armour waiting for the owner to show up. Soon the doors opened and a guy wearing a white shirt simple jacket tie and dress pants walks in with a holster on his hip. He then turns on the lights and when he sees me he stares at me in shock he then goes for his pistol. But, I move faster and crush the gun in his hand before he can aim it at me. And before he can yell for help I grab him and place a hand over his mouth.
"Listen pal unless you want to wake up with a nasty headache you'll need to pay attention to what I have to say," I said once I had the man's attention. "First thing's first I'm no terrorist and I'm not here to kill anyone and I'll let you go right now if you just listen to me comprende?"
This caused the man to nod as much as he was able to before I let him go and when I did he took a few breaths of air before he looked at me.
"Who are you?" the man asked.
"I'm not here to answer your questions the only thing you need to know is that I can get the president out of the white house," I said before I took out an antenna with a U.S.B. connecter on it. "This devise is connected to a camera in my helmet just plug it into your computer and let the devise do the rest. However, you won't be able to hear what's going on unless I say so," I said as I handed the man the antenna
"You seem pretty secretive and confidant in what you’re saying but we've tried so many times what make you think you can do any different?" the man asked.
"I have my ways," I said before I teleported onto the roof of the white house alongside Rage and the Immortals.
"So how'd it go?" Rage asked as he stood up from sitting on a vent.
"Smooth as it could have gone but I think I've got their attention," I said.
"I still say this is a bad idea," Swift Spear said.
"It's been noted and I agree with you but...We've been outvoted. So let's suck it up Quick Shot you in position?" I asked as I looked at a building beyond the fence.
"Roger that Ash," Quick Shot said.
"Okay we all go as soon as the camera is up I'll need silence from all of you. Ah speak of the devil," I said before a screen appeared over my left eye thanks to some help from Epsilon and I was looking at a room filled with people in suits. And some of them were well decorated with medals. "Ladies and Gentleman of the Pentagon I thank you for your time."
"Where is this coming from?" a man wearing lots of meddles and the rank of general is on his coat.
"You don't need to worry about that general what's important now is that I can see and hear you and you can see and hear me," I said.
"Identify yourself," the general said.
"That's information I cannot reveal to you general," I said.
"This isn't a request now tell me your name or I'll have one of my tanks blow your ass off that roof," the general said.
"You'll try general and let me make this perfectly clear so you can understand it 1. I don't have follow your rules here so there's no way I'm just gonna hand my name over to you. 2. Even if I do tell you my name you guys wouldn't be able to figure out who I am by a long shot. 3. If you do manage to kill me which you won't your best chance of rescuing the president dies with me. Not only that general you'll piss off powers that are sticking their neck out to help. And when they learned what you did your gonna wish you listened. So do us all a favour and shut up and pay attention," I said causing everyone in the Pentagon to recoil at my words except the general.
"Alright then but what should I call you for now?" the general asked.
"Call me Ghost," I said.
"Alright Ghost what do you want?" the general asked.
"What I want is two is two things one of them can wait until later but the other I can tell you. I want to help save your president but I need your help to do that all it is, is a simple ok from you general and me and my team will infiltrate this place. We’ll eliminate all hostiles, and rescue all the hostages and all hostages will be alive," I said.
"Why are you asking me for the ok?" the general asked.
"You’re the only power I can get in contact with that will allow me to do this also think of this as building trust. If you say no we'll walk away and let you work this out if go I'll make good on my word," I said.
"That's a lot to promise how do I know I can trust you?" the general asked.
"You don't sometimes you gut and heart are pulling you in two different directions but that's when I bring in a third opinion my logic," I said.
I then saw two other people start to talk with the general and when they finished the room was silent.
"Alright Ghost you are go take back the white house," the general said.
"Thank you general and for confidential means I need to turn the camera onto mute but if you need something speak up because I can still hear you," I said.
"But what if we need to speak privately?" a man asked.
"My hearing only applies to the room you’re in," I said.
"Wait you’re telling us just like that?" the man asked.
"I did say this was about building trust," I said before I turned the camera's mic off.
"I take it the talk went well?" Rage asked.
"Yep we have the go. Immortals let's kick these guys out," I said before we walked over to a part of the roof and scanned below it revealing two people both of them holding weapons. "Swift blow it."
Swift then placed a small explosive on the roof and moved back before he pushed the detonator causing the roof to cave in. I then jumped in and drew salvation and damnation and shot the two surprised guards in the head before they could aim at me.
"Ghost we need to know what we're dealing with can you show us their faces," the general said.
I walked over to bodies and looked at their faces for the general and I heard the men and women of the Pentagon talk among themselves. I then noticed one of the guards had a Templar cross branded into his hand.
"Damn it we've got Templars," I said before I turned around and saw the others jump in.
"Templars...here?" Rage asked.
"Yep but this is pretty bold even for them," I said before suddenly someone knocks on a door.
"Hey you guys alright?"
"Shit now what?" Lightning whispered.
"Everyone scatter I'll take care of our guest," I said before the others teleported elsewhere earning gasps from the viewers. I ignored the gasps and moved behind the door and selected a song and put in my headphones.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SihoKQ-uLqE
I waited for the door to open and as soon as the guard ran in to check the others I grabbed him and drove a hidden blade into his spine. Once the guard went limb I dropped him and switched my guns to silence and ran out of the room. A simple patrol appeared around the corner and were about to shoot but I shoot faster and downed them all. I then continued my run and saw a small set of stairs and a door marked with security. I got to the top of the stairs and kicked the door off its hinges and watched it sail through the room and knock some guards out of their chairs. As they tried to get back up I unloaded a couple of rounds into them. I then saw I was in a monitor room for all the cameras in the white house. I looked at each one and saw everyone was mopping up the guards on the second floor. But a large group of people were being held in a room by armed guards. I looked at the name on the screen and saw Diplomatic Reception Room.
I gave a nod to myself before I left. I went to the stairs and ran into a hallway that was being guarded well. The guards then noticed me and fired their weapons at me forcing me to take cover. I then took a few breaths before I ran out of cover and ran for one guard. I ran onto a wall and leaped off it while doing a flip and shooting back at the guards. Once I hit the ground one of the guards ran at me trying to hit me with his rifle. But, I spun to the left and pulled out my dagger and drove it into the guard’s neck and pulled it out. While I was doing that another guard came up behind me armed with a knife forcing us dodge or attack. I had to occasionally draw a revolver to take care of a guard who had a chance to shoot me I then leaped backwards as the guard lunged at me. But I then grabbed his hand holding the knife and went to kick him in the face with my right leg. But, he kept dodging my attacks. So I rested my leg on his shoulder and leapt off my left leg and wrapped my legs around his neck and threw him into a wall. I then saw reinforcements had arrived so I grabbed the knife the guard was armed with and threw it and my dagger at two of the guards. I managed to hit both my marks before I ran to cover to collect my breath. When I was ready I ran out and grabbed a M1014 shotgun and ran at the enemy.
Once I was in range I shot 3 guards and as I aimed at the forth and pulled the trigger I was met with a click. The guard then knocked the gun out of my hands and went to shoot me with his weapon. But before the shotgun left my reach I managed to grab the gun and spun around and hit the guard with the butt of the weapon like a bat knocking him out. I then looked and saw more guards approaching so I drew my revolvers and shot them. However one of them was fast and managed to dodge my bullets. And when he was close I saw he was trained in martial arts but I just kept dodging his attacks and waited to strike back. When I saw it I grabbed the guard by the face and slammed him onto the ground and extended my hidden blade just as the song ended. I then retracted the hidden blade and walked over to retrieve my dagger, and once I sheathed the weapon I walked over to the room where the hostages were just as the others had arrived.
"Hey Ash top's been cleared," Rage said.
"Good got hostages here set up a scanner," I said.
Rage then pulled out a disk and placed it on the wall and pressed a button and instantly the wall disappeared getting surprised looks from the viewers. The Immortals Rage and I then called out our targets and as soon as I fired the others did and we hit our targets freaking out the hostages. I then deactivated the scanner and opened the door gently as to not frighten the hostages anymore then they have.
"Ladies and Gentleman if you would be so kind to stand up and follow us out of the building to safety please," I said and almost instantly everyone began to stand up and the immortals and Rage began to get everyone out. I looked around but couldn't find the president so I stopped a female hostage. "Excuse me but do you know where the president is?"
"N-no but I believe I heard the guards say something about taking people to the PEOC," the woman said.
"Thank you," I said before the woman walked over to the others while I turned on the mic. "General I need to know the location of the PEOC."
"That's classified Ghost," the general said.
"General what did I say about building trust if the president is in the PEOC then you need to tell me where he is so I can help him. If not then good luck getting him out," I said causing the general to stand still in silence.
"If I were hand this information over to you how would you get in?" the general asked.
"I'll show you if you tell me," I said causing another moment of silence.
"Library behind the eastern bookshelf behind a bright red book is a key pad passcode is D227," the General said.
I gave a nod before I turned off the mic and went to the library and over to the eastern bookshelf. I saw the book immediately and pulled it out and saw the key pad. I entered the code and heard a hiss come from the bookshelf before I put the book back. The door then opened and I walked inside and saw a set of metal stairs going down. I walked down the stairs and saw a wall and door made of metal and the electronic locks were smashed. I placed a scanner on the door and saw six people were in the bunker. Three of them were armed guards and another looked to be hacking into the computers. Finally a woman and a young girl were on left of the room on their knees holding each other in front of a screen but I couldn't tell what was on it. Suddenly, a guard raised his gun at the woman and the young girl. This caused me to spring into action and reel back a fist and smash it into the door throwing it from its place and into a screen opposite the room. I then drew my revolvers and shot the guards leaving the one at the computer alive. I then marched in and as the guy went for a gun I shot at ground near his foot causing him to freeze. When I reached him I gripped the front of his shirt and slammed him into a desk, and held damnation at his head and pulled the hammer back.
"Hold on Ghost we're going to need him alive for questioning meanwhile you need to check the first lady and her daughter," the general said before I turned the mic on.
"Copy that," I said before I pushed the hammer on the gun forward. I then spun the gun around and hit the guard with the handle knocking him out.
I walked over to the first lady and her daughter and helped them both up and when they were standing the girl wrapped her arms around my waist and cried into my stomach armour. Without realising I was doing it I placed a hand on the little girl's back and head and rubbed her gently like a parent would. When she finished she stepped back and I focused on the president's wife.
"Thank you," the woman said.
"You're both welcome and are you okay?" I asked.
"Now that your here," the first lady said.
"Well this is certainly an interesting development."
I looked at the source of the voice which was on the screen and I saw a man on it along with the president, the queen, the pope and the father of the little girl in the hospital.
"I take it your responsible for this mess," I said.
"Smart man but if I may ask to whom am I speaking?" the man asked.
"Just the guy who's going to send you off to meet the reaper unless you release your captives and surrender yourself," I said causing the man to laugh.
"Oh you are amusing but I'm not going to do that and if may ask how will you send me to the reaper if you don't know where I am?" the man asked.
"I can find out but it'll take me awhile so how about you give me a clue," I said.
"What?" the man asked.
"A clue c'mon now let's at least make this interesting," I said causing the man to laugh again.
"You are a fascinating one alright a clue then 'pro Deus quod licentia'," the man said causing my eyes to widen.
"I'm impressed...You found Libertalia," I said causing the man's eyes to widen.
"How'd you...?" the man asked.
"I'll see you soon," I said before I turned off the screen.
"What he said what did he mean?" the first lady asked.
"It's Spanish means for God and liberty," I said.
"But's what's that thing you said?" the young girl asked.
"Libertalia...is a place where I once lived...a long time ago actually," I said before I shook my head. "It's also the same place where your dad is being kept along with the others,"
"Do you know how to get there?" the first lady asked.
"Yes," I said.
“Ghost can you tell us the location?" the general asked.
"Negative general I can't revel that location to you because of two reasons. One you don't have the authority to go to this location. Two I swore an oath to protect that location and it is not something I'm willing to break," I said.
"Then will you go?" the first lady asked.
"Sorry?" I asked.
"Can you go save my husband you've already proven you can do it," the first lady said causing me to look in silence before I nodded.
"Very well oh here take this I think the general wants a word with you," I said as I removed the camera from my helmet and handed it to the first lady.
She then placed the speaker in her ear and the mic next to her mouth before I led the two out of the White House. We were met with the National Guard who were ready to shoot me if not for the president's wife and her daughter and once that was over I regrouped with the others.
"Alright so now what happens?" Rage asked.
"We're going to visit a place I called home first then a quick drop off here and then we can all go home," I said.
"Excuse me."
I turned to see it was the first lady and her daughter.
"We cannot thank you enough for your help but if I may ask why?" the first lady asked.
"We have our reasons and also we need to discuss something with your husband," I said.
"So you gonna tell us your name?" the first daughter asked.
"Heh you know its proper manners to introduce yourself first," I said.
"Sorry my name is Diana could you tell me your name?" Diana asked.
"I can't tell you my name but allow me to help you figure it out. In World War 2 there was a squad named the Spectres. Look for the one that was nicknamed after a heavenly being you'll figure out my name that way," I said before I teleported over to where Quick Shot was along with the rest of the group.
"Okay so now what?" Rage asked.
"Now we head for Libertalia," I said.
