Buck you, I'm Iron man
Chapter 10: Just a normal day
Previous Chapter Next ChapterThird person:
It was seven o’clock AM. Jarvis had the feast cleaned up after the rather… eccentric party. The butler absorbed the vacuum into his body after that. Jacob would be having a meeting with the board members to discuss what to do about the rising competition. Jarvis picked up a morning tea tray with his right fore leg unit as he trotted down a long hallway to the conference room.
When the AI entered the room, he noticed that it looked like a long table with twelve holograms total. Six were Cameras, and six were Minotaurs. Jacob was sitting at the head of the table while a rather lean looking Minotaur hologram was the closest minotaur. He seemed to be trying to convince Jacob of something. Noticing the tea, Jacob turned to Jarvis and took the cup with a smile. “Thank you, Jarvis.”
The butler stood near the wall behind the man as he continued his argument with the minotaur at the end. The minotaur then proceeded to shout, “I’m telling you Jacob, we need to use our tech for military use. Think of all the profits that we could make with this.”
Jacob sipped the tea and turned to Jarvis. “Earl Grey?” He received a small nod from the AI. “Ah, now, back to the matter at hand.” He faced the minotaur again. “If memory serves, you tried to take control over this company for this exact same reason before and failed. I could have and can easily fire you, yet I did not because I was patient and nice. Both of those things have a limit and nothing tries my patience more than when certain beings never learn from their mistakes. I recommend that you either stop with this foolish endeavor or chose your words carefully, or I just might have to refill a position on my board.”
“But Mr. Alloy,” They seemed to assume that that was his last name. “Don’t you see the benefits of using our tech for weapons development?”
Master Jacob rubbed his eyes before glaring the minotaur directly in the eyes. “Mr. Stain, I assure you. I will not develop weapons any time soon. I made that mistake once and that put me under town arrest.”
“Um… yes sir.” said the Minotaur.
“Good.” Master then proceeded to clap his hands together and turn towards a female chimera that looked like the combination of a lion and a dragon. “Let’s move to a different matter, shall we? “Ms Ling, how are we with project future?”
The chamera brightened up a bit. “Quite well sir, we already got the Emperor's approval and have started recruiting young prodigies into the program. In a few years, it is estimated that we will have trained hundreds of creative and inventive minds who wish to help others.”
The CEO smiled a bit. “I take it that they are comfortable?”
Ms. Ling just said, “Yes sir. They are doing well.”
“I trust that we also got the parent’s permission as well as the children’s?” Asked Jacob, knowing the answer.
“Of course, sir.” replied Ms. Ling
Jacob then said, “Excellent, now what is the next thing that we have on our agen-” Jacob was cut off as he brightly flashed for a little bit before seeming to fall from the ceiling in his armor.
After a long, silent, minute, Jarvis was the first to speak. “Sir, what was that?”
Jacob then straightened himself. “That Jarvis, is what happens when you fall into a portal at faster than light speeds.” He turned to his board members. “It seems as though I have an appointment to get to. If anyone has anything else to say about the company or any complaints about the programs that we are using, you are more than welcome to speak up.” After a few minutes of awkward silence, he spoke up. “Well then, good day.” The holograms then shut off.
Jarvis made a cable come out of his mane and plug itself into a computer. He then transferred the recorded meeting into the correct data file. The butler turned to his master and said, “Sir, I do not mean to pry, but what happened?”
The businessman stood up and said, “I got summoned to help find some dragon balls for an enthusiastic leader of the Ginyu Force. In fact, in two minutes, past me and Ginyu will appear in my lab. I don’t want you to trip the security.” Jarvis gave a quick nod and let him continue. “I plan on using the jems that Jeff gave me to make a sword after I go plant some magic apple seeds.” Jacob proceeded to fly out the window and towards a field.
Jarvis was slightly confused but followed Jacob down the mountain using his propulsion systems, illusionary tech, and stabilizers to make it look like he was a pegasus flying downward. When he got to the field, he saw a myriad of guns, chainsaws, scythes, forcefield projectors, stabilizers, optical and auditory sensors laying on a table. There was even a set of sixty foot wires that looked sharp and deadly.
“Jarvis, if my plan succeeds, I was thinking of fighting monsters as a hobby, I would like you to come along, but you seem to be lacking in weaponry.” He gestured to the table.
Jarvis gave a smirk, “You know, for a man claiming to not want to make weapons, you seem to like doing just that.”
Jacob gave a small chuckle. “It’s not that I have anything against weapons, it is unnecessary murder thanks to my weapons that I can’t stand.” He then spoke up. “I think that your human form might be more useful in absorbing all of this. I also have two other inventions for you if you do absorb all of this.”
Intrigued, Jarvis stood up and seemed to melt into a puddle. The puddle of nth quicksilver, a combination of nth metal and quicksilver, shifted and rose up to a six foot height. The metal then shifted many times to form incredibly precise and accurate features such as wrinkles. Finally, color formed all over him to make him look like an elderly butler. He had a sharpish face, a myriad of wrinkles around the eyes, smooth black hair tied back, a monocle on his left eye, a white dress shirt with a black vest around it, a crimson tie, dress shoes, and a pair of black gloves to complete it. The butler smiles as his arms became liquid like. They targeted the weaponry and consumed it fully, adding more and more tools to his arsenal. Jarvis’ arms formed back as he stood still and bowed. “All weapons have been assimilated into me, sir.”
Jacob bowed back and said, “I have an assignment for you Jarvis.”
Jarvis then said, “What is it, sir?”
Jacob paced around for a bit. “If my plan is to work, I need to know the equestrian legal system in and out. I can’t go into town but you can. I need you to go into town and get the most up to date book of laws and legal practices. I will use the speed reading program in the armor to understand the laws forwards and backwards.”
Jarvis gave a small smile, “You can count on me, sir.”
“Good.” said Jacob. Jarvis then left for the library.
Jarvis was now walking through town in his earth pony form. He managed to go a good ten feet before running into a pink mare. Said Pink mare gasped loudly before running away. Jarvis was confused by this, all he did was greet her.
The android butler continued on his course for the library, but was stopped again by an elderly mare with a telegram.
This was a green earth pony that was most likely in her late seventies. Her white mane was done up in a bun and she looks a little worried. “Excuse me, but could ya point me in the direction of the train station? It appears that a distant relative is arriving and ah don’t want to be late.”
Jarvis, deciding to help, points in the direction of the train station. The elderly mare nodded her head in thanks as Jarvis continued onward to his destination, That pink mare then appeared again out of thin air, almost like Surprise. He began to wonder if there was a genetic relation between the two. Perhaps Hard Case did settle down after all. Further analysis was needed before this statement could be true. The android was soon bombarded with questions, which he answered to the best of his ability.
“What’s your favorite color?” asked the pink one.
“Blue.” replied Jarvis.
“What’s your name?” asked the mare.
For the sake of his identity, Jarvis chose a random pseudonym. “Black Butler.” No one ever said he was very original. “Could you please tell me your’s?”
“Sure, my name’s Pinkie Pie.” Relation confirmed.
Deciding to see how this would play out, Jarvis then asked, “Do you happen to know of a mare by the name of Surprise Pie?”
This confused Pinkie a bit. “That name sounds familiar… oooo! I bet that if we go to the library, we could find some info on her.”
The pair traveled to the library. Pinkie pie bounced while Jarvis walked. Both individuals made it into the library to find a dragon napping. The pair snuck past the drake as they got a large scroll labeled, “Pie family tree.” Jarvis found the most recent book of laws. For some reason, it was under L, despite the author’s last name being Pen. The pair joined back to find that Pinkie had found Surprises name, but nothing else. When she tried to look through Surprise’s records, it said, “Destroyed, by order of the Princess.” Jarvis, with his developing emotions, suddenly gained a new one, anger. Jarvis took the document and stormed out. Pinkie followed close behind. Pinkie continued following him until they got to the foot of what was known as, monster mountain. Jarvis then proceeded to walk up the trail. When the large bug monsters came near him or her, they got a sharp glare from Jarvis which told them to back off. When they got to the top, a feat that nopony has done before, Pinkie saw an odd figure. He was in a dark suit, he was ape like, and he seemed to be holding a sword. Said sword happened to be both shining and darkening at the same time, most likely due to a magical component.
Jarvis walked up to the man. “Sir, I believe that you might want to read this.” The butler handed Jacob the document.
He read it over for a few moments before gaining a disappointed expression. “Why am I not surprised?” He then faced northward. “Don’t worry Surprise, just because I could not protect your name, doesn't mean that I won’t avenge it.”
Pinkie Pie popped up to prepare to avoid pestering this peculiar person. "Um Mr, who are you."
Jacob smiled, "That depends, what is Surprise's relation to you?"
"Well, according to some documents, I am her great great great great great great great great grandniece." explained Pinkie.
Jacob chuckled, "Well then, Consider me your great great great great great great great granduncle. She was my adoptive sister after all."
Pinkie then gasped, "Really? How so?!"
Jacob outright laughed this time, "Let me tell you a little story about a fool and a friend."
Manehatten
In a back alley of a lot, two figures fell through it. The first was a large green man with green skin, black hair, and purple shorts. The second was a blond warrior with ornate armor on him. On his side, there was a large hammer. The two sat there for a while, far too confused to do anything. After a little while, the large one said, "Where are we?"
