Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Unexpected Guess at the table

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

After what happen in streets of canterlot, a lot of ponies were wondering who those three creatures were, and how did they defeat almost half of Canterlots Royal guards. The ponies in Canterlot wanted answers, and they pretty much were not in the mood for little to no info on today’s event. Normally Celestia would just ignore the most of the royals and just make up some lie saying that Prince Blueblood did it, but then again using him as a scapegoat to escape most of her problems ended up not working. That is until Caster had an idea that surprised her friends. She suggest that this was all a practice test to try and increase the soldier moral. To everyone’s surprise one of Casters ideas actually worked.

“Ok hell must of frozen over, because Caster actually had a idea that really worked.” Said Gilgamesh walking down the hallway along with her friends, the princesses, and Shining Armor.

“This is not normal for you Caster, you sure you didn’t hit your head on something?” Asked Saber.

“Hey I can have good ideas too you know!” Yelled Caster stomping on the ground. “And for the record I stop hitting my head on stuff after I fell off my roof when I was ten.”

“Why would jump off of a roof?” Asked Luna.

“She bought a cape from a store, and thought she could fly.” Saber answered. “It didn’t end well when she busted her head onto the sidewalk.”

“Hey I turned out ok in the end right?”

“You ended having short term memory loss from time to time.” Said Gilgamesh.

“Oh please like you would believe what a doctor would say…..wait a minute weren’t we outside talking to ponies, and explaining who we are?” Asked Caster.

“Oh crap here we go again, Saber could you fill her in on what’s going on please?” Asked Gilgamesh.

“Why do I have to do it?”

“Cause I’m always the one to do it remember? Now please just do it.”

“Ugh, fine but next time you’re doing the whole recap memory thing.”

“Ok can someone tell me what the fuck is going on, and why are we inside the castle?” Caster asked, as Saber put an arm around her shoulder.

“It’s a long story sweetie.”

“Shining has Twilight and her friends arrive after the message I sent to her?” Asked Celestia.

“Yes they’re waiting in the hall of elements to meet you, along with the creatures Princess. But I still think allowing them in the castle is a bad idea.”

“I do wish you would relax Shining Armor, it’s not like they’re spies or anything.” She said pointing at the humans. “I mean do they look dangerous to you.” Shining Armor was looking at Caster, who was standing on Sabers shoulders trying to turn the head of a statue around.

“What the hell are you doing?” Asked Gilgamesh.

“This statue was looking at me funny, so I’m turning its head around.”

“....Ok you have a point, but I still don’t trust them.”

“You really need to lighten up, maybe after dinner you might feel better?”

“Maybe, let’s just get this over with.”

(Hall of Elements)

“How long do we have to wait for them to get here?” Asked Rainbow Dash tapping her hoof on the ground. “I mean it doesn’t take that long to get from wherever they are, to here right?”

“Yeah maybe it you flew or teleport, but unlike most ponies they prefer to take their time.” Said Rarity. “Why do you want to meet them anyway, didn’t you hear what ponies in canterlot said about these humans.”

“To take out half of the royal guards without even breaking a sweat, they sound like really scary humans if they were able to do that?” Said Fluttershy.

“Now sugarcube don’t judge a book by it’s cover, after all if Celestia thinks they’re ok then they can be that scary?” Said Applejack patting fluttershy’s head.

“I-I guess.”

“Yeah maybe they like to party!” Said Pinkie Pie. “Oh we should throw them a welcome to Equestria party!”

“Pinkie Pie I don’t think this is the time for a party, what I want to know is how can three humans take on an entire group of guards and still stand?” Said Twilight levitating a pen and paper. “The only humans that I know of are the ones in the mirror at home, and none of them can do anything Celestia told me in the letter she sent me.”

“Why don’t you asked them after dinner?” Said Spike.

“Or you could always ask her.” Pinkie Pie pointed at Caster who was behind Twilight & Rarity. This caused the two to jump back a bit from the human in surprise.

“Hello mortals. Did someone wanted to ask me a question or something?” Asked Caster.

“Where did you come from?” Asked Twilight.

“Well when a mommy & daddy love each other very much, they decided to-.”

“Not that! I’m asking how did you get here, right behind me?”

“Oh that? Fuck you that’s how.” She answered with an innocent smile on her face. Before Twilight could say anything, the doors the Hall of Elements opened up revealing a very tired and sweaty Shining Armor who was dragging himself towards Caster. “What took you guys so long?

“You ran off through the hallway and left us in the dust.” Saber answered. “You really need to stop doing that Caster.”

“What? I was tired of walking so I just teleport here.”

“No surprise there when you think about it.” Said Gilgamesh now turn her attention towards the six technicolor ponies stand in front of them. “Who are you guys?”

“Those are the wilders of the Elements of Harmony.” Said Celestia entering the room. “Protectors and heroes of Equestria.”

“Really now?” Gilgamesh look at the mane six up and down evaluating Celestia’s so called “heroes.” “They don’t look like heroes to me.”

“What did you just say punk?” Said Rainbow Dash getting up into the Archers face. “Are you calling us weak or something?”

“And what if I am you rainbow color dyke, what are you gonna do about it?”

“Oh you are so dead!” Rainbow Dash was about to punch Gilgamesh in the face. But was stopped a lavender color aura covering her entire body.

“Rainbow Dash we are here to get to know the humans, not start a fight with them.” Said Twilight.

“Hey she started it!”

“Well I’m ending it.” She said levitating Rainbow Dash next to her. “And you. I would prefer if you don’t provoke my friend.”

“Not my fault your friend has a bad temper problem. I wouldn’t be surprise if she was taking anger management classes.”

“HEY!” Yelled Rainbow Dash flipping her the finger.

“Anyway care to explain who you six are?”

“My name is Twilight sparkle, Princess of friendship.” She said as she motion to her friends to introduce themselves.

“The names Rainbow Dash, fastest flyer in all of Equestria and the element of loyalty.”

“I’m Applejack, Apple farmer at Sweet Apple Acres and element of honesty.” She said extending her hand to shake the humans hand.

“Pleasure to meet you.” Gilgamesh said returning the handshake.

“My name is Rarity, owner of carousel boutique and element of generosity.” She said as she eyed the humans outfit. “And I must say your outfits are simply divine.” Just Rarity finish introducing herself a pink blur appeared right in front of the three servants.

“HimynameisPinkiePieandI’mponyvillessuperduperpartyponyandtheelementoflaughteranddoyoulikepartiesIlikepartieswowyoulookshinyareyo-.”

Gilgamesh placed a finger to Pinkie Pies mouth, then turn her attention at Caster. “Caster can you translate for me please.”

*Ahem!* Hi! My name is Pinkie Pie. I’m Ponyville’s super duper party pony, and the element of laughter. Do you like parties I like parties, wow you look shiny.” Caster said copying Pinkies voice.

“Wow nopony has ever been able to understand what I’m saying at times.”

“That’s because we’re not ponies, my pink little friend.” Caster said pinching Pinkie Pies cheeks.

“Hey we introduced ourselves, so why don’t you introduce yourselves?” Said Rainbow Dash.

“Fine you technicolor dyke, My name is Gilgamesh King of Heroes.”

“Saber King of knights, and before say anything I prefer the title king better the Queen or Princess.”

“And I’m Tamamo-no-Mae, but you can call me Caster for short. And were Servants of the Holy Grail.”

“These are the one’s that beat an entire royal guards? I find it hard to believe that.” Said Rainbow Dash. “I mean really I bet they paid those ponies off just so they can look good in front of the princesses.”

“Figures that an uncultured mongrel would think of that.” Said Gilgamesh which caused Rainbow Dash to be up in her face again.

“Who are you calling a mongrel goldie!?”

“Who are you calling goldie mongrel!?”

“Oh that’s a good nickname for Gilgy, don’t you think Caster?”

“I don’t know Pinkie I kinda like Gilgy as a nickname.”

“You two are not helping.” Said Saber “And you two stop acting like children, honestly you’re suppose be adults.”

“Indeed something like this is very unlady like.” Rarity agreed. “Now you both should apologies to each other and be friends.” At first they were hesitant to shake hands and make up, but with a few disappointed looks from each of their friends they ended up shaking hands and making up. “There now was that hard to do?”

“Maybe.” They said in union.

“Ok, I think we should get ready for dinner. During that time I think it would be a good time to ask our guest some question.” Said Celestia. “If you three don’t mind that is?”

“Oh we don’t mind asking any questions you guys have, right girls?” Caster asked.

“Sure why not.” Saber answered.

“I guess I could answer a few questions.” Answered Gilgamesh.


(Moments later)

“So let me get this straight,” Said Twilight writing down some notes. “You’re not from the mirror world I went through?”

“Yes for the last time we’re not from the mirror world!” Yelled Gilgamesh rubbing her head from the headache she has. “How hard is it to tell the difference? We don’t look like a bunch of technicolor people.”

“But I still don’t understand. How can you humans use magic, but other humans can’t?”

“I don’t fucking know! God all I know is that Caster bought us the weapons, and then the next thing we know we’re in world full of magical talking ponies.”

“But how can that-.”

“Oh fuck it. Caster can sum it up for me for her please?”

“Sure thing Gilgy.” Caster said after swallowing her food. “It’s magic bitch.”

“Yeah Twilight it’s magic silly.” Pinkie Pie agreed.

“......You know what I’ll just classify it as odd, but I also have another question.”

“And what is your question?” Asked Saber.

“Your friend Caster said that you three are Servants? Who is this Holy Grail pony you serve?”

“I Believe I can answer that question mortal.” Said a mysterious voice. Everyone was wondering where the voice came from, and some of the guards were in battle stances because of it.

“Who said that?” Asked Twilight.

“I did.” Twilight looked behind to see what looked liked a statue but wasn’t right behind her. To what everyone could tell, it looked like one of the statues Discord would make if he was a twelve year-old. Then again even a twelve year-old would make something better.

“Who the pony feathers are you?” Asked Rainbow Dash.

“Oh right where are my manners.” The Grail said as he took a seat next to Caster and Pinkie Pie. “I am the Holy Grail, the god like being that created the Holy Grail War and those idiots master.”

“Hey! The only idiot out of us is Caster, and she’s the queen of the idiots.” Said Gilgamesh pointing at Caster.

“Still holding on to that title, I shot myself with a bebe gun in foot.” Caster said as she summoned a crown on top of her head.

“See.”

“Ok I guess one of you is an idiot, but before I lost track of anything.” Grail looked at Twilight. “To answer your questions Twilight. Servants are legendary heroes that died during their lifetime on earth, and are remember as heroes due to what they did that made them that. Weather it was for rebelling against an evil king, becoming a king with a holy weapon, being born as a god and taking the form of a human, etc, etc.”

“Wait does that means that if we die we’ll be legendary heroes ourselves?” Asked Rainbow Dash.

“Well all eight of you already proven to be hero quality, so yeah pretty much.”

“Sweet! In your face goldie, we are heroes!”

“Oh great an eternity with you, this is gonna be hell on earth for me.” Said Gilgamesh rubbing her head. “So then grail why are you here?”

“Oh I’m just here to get to know the ponies of this world, and to teach you three on how to be knight’s when Celestia ask you to be her bodyguards.”

“.......What you say?” Said Shining Armor as he stopped eating after hearing that.

“I said Celestia wants to hire them as her and Lunas bodyguards. Isn’t that right Celestia?”

“Well it was suppose to be a secret, but seeing how you spilled the beans I guess I’ll have to tell them.” Celestia rose from her chair and looked at the three servants. “After what happened a few hours ago, I notice how strong you three are when you fought against the royal guards. And even though you were fighting them, you didn’t kill any of them even when some of them were. So I would like to ask you three a question?”

“And that would be?” Saber asked.

“Would you like to be Luna and my personal bodyguards?”

“WHAT!?” Said Everyone in the room besides the servants and Grail.

“Princess you can’t be serious about this.” Said Shining Armor. “I mean did you not see what they did to my men?”

“Yes I saw what they did, which is all the more reason why I want them.” Celestia then turn her attention towards the servants again. “Strength like yours is something that can be used for the great of good in this kingdom, and after what happen to ponyville a few weeks ago. We need somepony to help us in times of need.”

“Plus weird things keeps happening whenever we’re around you three, so this will give us action in our boring lives.” Luna said as she too stood up. “Also you’ll have your own quarters where the three of you can stay. So what do you say?”

There was a moment of silence as the three servants took a moment to make their decision. A minute or two later Saber and Gilgamesh looked at Caster and nodded. “We will love to be your bodyguards.” Caster said which brought a smile on the princesses faces.

“Perfect, then starting tomorrow you’ll be our bodyguard from this day forward!” Luna said using the royal canterlot voice, which cause everyone besides the Holy Grail to cover their ears.

“Luna your voice, you’re doing it again.” Said Celestia.

“Oh….Sorry.” Luna said blushing from using the royal canterlot voice. “We tend to forget to use are normal voice when we get excited.”

“That’s ok.” Said Saber. “No harm no foul”

“Anyway let us finish eating and be off to bed, tomorrow will be the start of your lesson in knighthood.” Said The Holy Grail as he vanished into thin air.

“Should I be worry about this?” Asked Gilgamesh.

“I dont think so.” Said Caster as she went back to eating.
