The fallen soldier

Chapter 5 ( the special arc is a story all on its own )

"Busted"

----

"You mean it's alive?! I thought you said it was dead!" The little lizard creature spoke, while it's ability to talk didn't amaze or surprise you in the least, you found its human boy like voice kinda weird.

Your choice of career allowed you to be able to visit many places in the galaxy. Though on nearly every occasion it was never for something good. The one year you was given to recover from the war was the only year you had a break from your job. You couldn't really enjoy it either, in order to recover fully AND stay a soldier you had to have a couple limbs removed and have some new things added to your body.

To put it simply... You've been augmented.

Your left arm wasn't real, it was a highly advanced military prosthetic. You also had some other gizmo's added that- Right.. You're getting off track, you've been Busted, let's focus back on that, You can reminiscence later.

"So what do we do Twilight?" The little lizard boy looked up at the woman.

Have they been talking this entire time? You're definitely not your self no more, you're so.. Unfocused now. You need to find a way outa this situation, so let's think this over for a few seconds..

There's the little lizard with the voice of a human boy, and there's a woman who (by your guess) takes care of him, if it's even a "him." The Renotypeos have the voices things mixed up, their males sound like women who smoked for 30 years, and their woman sound like someone ran there vocal cords through a cheese grater. ( a little backstory into your world )

You have no idea what the lizards capable of, and it's the same for the woman. Though her hands, which oddly enough seem to produce a pulsing red light, actually register as a energy source by your A.M.A.H.S. suits energy standards.

You had no weapons on you besides the crossbow on your back, you could non-lethally take care of her if you got close enough. But call it a gut feeling, those hands of her's might be able to stop you from doing just that.

And you honestly don't wanna see what those hand's of her's can do...

Hehe..

FOCUS! You need to focus! Why do you keep doing this?

If you managed to take care of her then what would the little lizard do? Maybe it can breath fire? Maybe it's teeth is capable of shattering metals? Though even if it could do both.. You'd take care of it.

"You think that'll reveal it?" The little dragon boy asked.

Fucking hell.. You dozed off again.

"I'm sure Spike, now watch" Twilight's hands switched from red to pink and a beam of light shot from her hand and crashed into your A.M.A.H.S. suit.

Your shields registered it, and your suit saw it as an attack, an icon appeared on your visor. The icon read, "Civilian has attacked you with an UNKNOWN and UNREGISTERED substance. Your shields were able to dissipate the substance upon contact with you. Their REASONABLY JUSTIFIED fate is up to you soldier."

Also one thing, when you take a hit while cloaked with.. Let's say a bullet. Your cloaking is immediately ruined, so you were kinda in.. Uh.. plain sight. While the beam she shot at you did absolutely nothing to you, it was more or less the force it hit you with.

So here you were.. Standing in front of a little lizard and a very eager/frightened looking woman.

What do you do?

You remember your training for whenever you come into 'first contact' with something new. You turn your helmets outside speakers on and take a deep breath.

"Hello..." Your voice is full of uncertainty, you could easily offend anyone by saying or doing something that's not natural. You needed the people of this world to not fear you If you were to ever return home.

Twilights hands still emit the pink glow, but the brightness dims a little as she looks you over. Her eyes start at your helmet and slowly travel down your body, you could almost her thinking of the many ways she would find out what's beneath the armor.

Eventually her hands cease to glow completely and a large smile appears over her face. "Hi! I'm Twilight Sparkle and this is my assistant Spike!" She points at the little lizard at her side.

You're dumbfounded but respond automatically, "Nice to meet you both?" You were not expecting this, why did she drop her guard so easily?

She squeals with joy and begins prancing around the room while gleefully saying, "I'm talking to a real LIVING alien! I can't believe I'm talking to a real Living alien! Can you believe it Spike! It's alive and it understands what I'm saying! Oh I can't wait to write to Princess Celestia about this!"

"Hey calm down! I don't want the whole town knowing I'm here! And there's a reason why I understand you!" You motioned with you arm for her to calm down.

She stops the prancing and the yelling and simply looks at you for an explanation as to why you understand her. You take a couple steps forward and issue the command for the helmet to retract. When you open your eyes and look at Twilight, she has her mouth hanging wide open with an expression that practically screams, "DIDNT SEE THAT COMING"

Spike has one too.

"W-wait.. you're human!?" She stutters out.

You shake your head and continue to look at her.

"Alright.. Did NOT see that coming!" She speaks what her expression says.

Spike was just as surprised, evident by his own expression. You clear your throat and ask, "well what now?"

Twilight rushes outa the room and into the library itself and begins gathering several books from the shelves, once she gathered 5 or so book's. She placed them on the table surrounding the horse statute and began furiously reading them.

You look at Spike and he shrugs in response, you shrug as well and follow her to the same room. Twilight takes a second to look up from her books to shout, "This changes everything!" Her maniacal expression surprisingly sends a chill down your spine.

She slams the book shut and picks up spike, "Spike! I need you to fetch the rest of the girls and tell them to come here immediately!" Spike nods and Twilight doesn't waste a second to send him on his way.

With the little lizard gone, you found yourself alone with this Twilight, you felt incredibly uncomfortable. Her hand began glowing blue as several chairs floated in from the kitchen and into the library, a quill and several scrolls came floating in not long after.

She motioned for you to sit down and took her own seat not long after. You hesitated for a moment but sat in the chair anyway, it's legs instantly broke, most likely from your weight. You looked up at Twilight with a sheepish smile and brushed the pieces of wood from underneath you and sat on the floor instead.

She looked at you before scribbling something down on her scroll. The two of you sat in silence until a woman you never met before kicked the door in and rushed in.

"I'm here Twilight! When Spike told me the alien was here AND awake. I rushed here as fast as I could! I'm not too late am I?!" Her most notable feature was the Rainbow colored hair that sat atop her head.

"Rainbow, I'm fine! Now please take a seat, we shall start when the rest arrive." She patted the chair next to her.

This 'Rainbow' eyed you the entire time as she made her way to her chair. When she sat in the chair she leaned over and began whispering into Twilight ear, her whispering sucked and you could hear her clear as day.

"It's human!?"

"Surprising! I know!"

"What if it's a disguise to get us to lower our guard?"

"A disguise? How could it be a disguise?"

"Well it's an alien right?"

"So far.. Yeah!"

"Well If it's alien then what is it wearing? Probably some kinda futuristic shapeshifter suit!"

"Rainbow that's... Dumb.."

"What! No it's not! It's cool!.. Just not at the moment."

"I don't think it's wearing any type of shapeshifting suit. But whatever it's wearing, its capable of turning him invisible!"

"Wow! Really?"

"Yeah!"

Their conversation was brought to an end when more and more people began showing up.

Rainbow girl showed up first.

Then a woman with light pink hair nervously walked in.

Then a woman with dark pink hair bounced in.

Then came in a woman who must've been a model in this world, her hair was blue and she had clearly spent HOURS getting her hair in shape.

And finally the last to arrive was.. Hey! It's that woman from the stalls! Seeing her up close was much different then when you was looking at her through the sights of a crossbow.

Nearly every person in the room was sitting down except for.. Were did the pick bouncy one go? Did she leave the ro-

"Hello! Do you like party's? Cuzireallylikepartysandwaskindawonderingifyoumaybelikedpartys!" the sudden appearance and the landfall of words she spoke surprised the crap outa you.

You didn't flinch or jump back with a yell, you continued to sit in the same one spot, only with a look of surprise on your face. Your immediate reaction afterwards was to punch her in the face, she dodged the punch in a blink of the eye before standing up.

"I don't think he likes surprises!" She announces before calmly sitting in her chair.

Everyone just starts looking at her, she pretends to not notice before glancing at us all and saying, "what? Is there frosting on my face?" She wipes her hand across her lips and reveals her hand to be covered in frosting.

"What the hell!? Were did the-" you began talking but was interrupted by Rainbow.

"Don't. Thinking about it will only give you a headache." Rainbow shakes her head back and fourth.

"Trust me, I tried." Twilight finalizes for her.

Everyone takes a brief moment to nod in agreement.

"But anyways. We're getting off the path I want us to take." Twilight leans towards you and then looks at another.

"We might as well introduce ourselves, I'm Twilight Sparkle."

The rainbow haired woman next to her starts talking, "I'm Rainbow Dash! And you better play nice or I'll pound you to a pulp!"

You raise an eyebrow.

The woman with the blue hair immediately spoke afterwards, "Rainbow! Have some manners! You must forgive my friend here, she's very.. Protective. My name is Rarity by the way."

"Charmed." You reply.

Next was the woman with the light pink hair.

"I-I'm (incoherent whispering) " she whispered very quietly.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you. Can you say that again much louder please?" You say as kindly as you possibly can.

She looks away from you but speaks anyways, "I'm F-Fluttershy."

"It's wonderful to meet you Fluttershy, you may call me Anderson."

She blushes and nods.

Next was the hyper one.

"Hi I'm Pinkie Pie! You want a cupcake?"

"Er.. No, I'm good." she frowns but eats it herself and is quickly back to being hyper.

Last was the woman who owned the apple stall.

"Howdy. I'm Applejack." She kept it simple, but her eyes held the mistrust she tried to not show.

"It's mighty nice to meet you Applejack. I'm Anderson." She smiles briefly at your obviously fake southern accent.

Twilight clapped her hands and spoke, "Alrighty then Anderson, straight to the point. I know you attacked that guard in the hospital. So if you want to face the least of charges, then I recommend you cooperate with me."

"Alright, were do we begin?" You wanted to get this over with as fast as you could.

"How about you tell me how you got to our planet? You may be human, but you're not the kinda human that belongs on this planet." She looked you in the eyes.

You took a deep breath and simply said, "No can do."

"And why is that?" Twilight ceased writing with her quill and looked at you.

"That's classified information that you're asking for, I'm all for spending less time in jail. But I'll never betray my nation."

"I like your sense of loyalty." Rainbow randomly stated.

"Alright then... Can you tell a really short version that doesn't include classified information?" She may have found a loophole.

"Uh.. I guess."

You pause a moment so you can think it over.

"I was on a spaceship. A giant wormhole appeared. It sucked me in."

Twilight looked at you, "that's it?"

You nod your head.

"Alright can you at least explain what the stuff that we found on you does?" She asked with a slight frown forming on her face.

"Depends. What did you find on me?" You were hoping EVERYTHING.

"Several unidentified things. I only toyed with them for a minute, in fear of something bad happening." She did a kinda smart thing there.

"May I have my things back first?" You were eager to get your stuff back.

"What do you plan to use them for?" She scribbled something on the scroll of hers.

"Nothing. Do I need a reason to use them? I assumed I was amongst civilians." You changed positions on the floor.

"We mean no harm to you. Did you have the idea that we meant harm to you?" She continued scribbling stuff down.

"That guard at the hospital tried to shoot me with his crossbow." You decide to throw that thought out there.

"Yes he did. But then you dodged the attack and subdued the guard, did you not?" She stopped her writing and looked at you.

You hesitated with a response, say the wrong thing and your words could be used against you. You thought your words carefully, "I wasn't gonna stand there and let him shoot me with it, so I quickly subdued the man and took his crossbow."

You grab the crossbow off your back and throw it on the floor, Rainbow Dash's eyes follow your every movement. Fluttershy had a look of fear on her face, Pinkie seemed to be having trouble staying in her one chair. Rarity didn't seem to care all that much, and Applejack had the same look as Rainbow.

Twilight looked at the crossbow, and then started scribbling on her scroll. The room was in silence for several minutes before she began talking again.

"I don't have the authority to decide your punishment for attacking the guard, but I know someone who does. I'll message her right away, she'll be here in a while." She grabbed a new scroll, briefly wrote on it, and motioned for Spike to do something.

Spike grabbed the scroll and took a deep breath, he exhaled a spray of green fire from his mouth which enveloped the scroll. It burned into ashes and dispelled into the air, leaving you with a confused afterthought.

"And as for your things... I'll leave it up to the princess's." Twilight stood from her chair and walked into the kitchen.

Minutes later she returned with a plate full of cups, "do you drink tea anderson?" She offered a glass to each of her companions before offering one to you.

"I don't drink tea that often, I prefer other things. But I'll have some anyway." You gratefully take the cup of tea and begin sipping on it.

Twilights relaxes in her chair again before asking, "earlier you said you thought you were amongst civilians, does that mean you're in some kinda military?"

You nod.

"Okay. So you're a soldier, does that mean the stuff I found on your person were weapons?"

You hesitantly nod.

She sips her tea and continues looking at you, a sudden belch caught the attention of the entire room. Spike walked in from the kitchen and handed twilight a rather fancy looking scroll, Twilight's tea began magically floating in the air as she read the scroll.

---

Dear Twilight.

If what you say is true then you shall expect my presence immediately after the arrival of this scroll.

----

The message didn't seem to be that long, as she read it in a matter of seconds. She again stood from her chair and made her way to the door, she looked out the window and then opened the door allowing a woman wearing elegant clothing to walk in,

Several men dressed in the same armor as the ones in the hospital followed not long after. You raised your helmet and stood from your sitting position, ready for anything.

The men responded in kind, some pulled swords from their sheaths and other pointed their crossbows at you. The recently introduced woman raised her hand and her guards lowered and sheathed their weapons.

She looked at you, "I'm princess Celestia and it's a pleasure to meet your acquaintance."

Your helmet lowered and you looked her in the eyes.

"Charmed."
