An Assassin...? In Equestria?!
Chapter 5: Pirates lives are strange
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI walked down the road from Canterlot, feeling burned out because of using my chaos magic a bit too much a bit too quick.
While I walked I looked around at the scenery and failed to see the picture coming from nowhere and hitting me in the face and blinding me.
"Oh come on a leaf falls from a tree into my... Wait this is no leaf because I would be able to see through it." I said as I pulled the picture apparently of a girl or rather of Max Caulfield from Life is strange and it looked like the selfie from first in the game "Oh so another Displaced how interesting well let's see how she reacts." I said as the message began.
"Time, the real final frontier. This is the token of Max Caulfield, the Master of Time. Its mission: to seek out those who would protect others and tear down tyranny; to boldly go before me so that I may be called when the time is right."
“So Max can you come for a sec… ok got to stay calm but this is so awesome, my first non accidental summon of another Displaced.” I said as I waited for Max.
At first I didn’t see anything happen, then I got the feeling that someone was standing behind me and turned.
I saw Max Caulfield standing behind me dripping wet with… nothing on.
“Ok wow this is why my powers made my token non useable while in bath or having sex.” I said as I checked her out.
She sighed and said, “It’s a good thing I was done washing.” Her hand glowed with a yellow-ish aura and a towel popped into existence around her. “Also a good thing I have magic.”
“Yes quite, and if you have my token which you perhaps or perhaps don’t have I have a little chaos powers.” I said as I snapped with my fingers and a pair of aviators appeared and I grabbed them out of the air, “which I actually didn’t get by default.”
“Well, I didn’t have magic until.... I’d rather not say, but I am the current ruler of my Equestria,” she said, popping another towel into existence and drying her hair.
“Ok I have a question, did you take over by force or did you get it given, and you don’t have to tell if you don’t want to.” I said as I lifted my hands after putting on the aviators.
She wrapped her hair in the second towel and crossed her arms, sadness filling her eyes. “I was given it by Celestia and Luna. They... were dying because a pegasus stabbed them with a cursed dagger.”
“Oh… you know, I once was a friend of the princesses… but at one point I couldn’t take more of being stuck in a castle so I got my weapons back or… stole them back I should say, after that I stole a prisoner ship by killing the guards and freeing the prisoners, at first they wanted to throw me overboard but when they conspired I threw the leader overboard and by that killed all plots against me.” I said and sighed, “Ok that was good getting off my shoulders.”
“Well... to each his own I guess,” she said with a shrug. “Anyways, you going somewhere in particular?”
“Well not yet, but I have plans of going out east and making a small house out there and after that keep my promise.” I said and looked out in the distance.
“I’d suggest stopping at Ponyville real quick on the way. Might find a few ponies to join your crew, might be able to take out the only thing that can turn you to stone easily.”
“You know, that promise is to another Displaced named Folteren who actually got me out of stone and it involves adopting Scootaloo so I have that’s two things taken care of, the elements and the promise.”
“I’d hate to keep you waiting then,” she said, stretching and accidentally letting the towel around her fall. “I’ve seen about twenty couples in my universe that just left their foal out on the street. And that’s the kind ones.”
“You are probably right.” I said, and looked into her eyes, “You know, you should probably get that towel up again before anyone sees because that would be embarrassing, oh wait I already did, meh nothing special I’ve seen naked women before.” I said as I realized my mistake.
She tilted her head in confusion, looking between her body and me. “Why should I be embarrassed?”
“Oh it’s just that most women are embarrassed by men seeing them naked, I mean by men who isn’t with them on an intimate level.” I said as I scratched the back of my head.
She giggled and gave me a saucy expression. “You could find out how... intimate I can get.”
I lifted an eyebrow, “Ok how many have you fucked?, this also counts in other girls.”
“Well, there’s Celestia, Gilgamesh, Kat, Lance, Zinnia, and about half the royal guard. Just to name a few,” She said with a proud smirk.
I made my best ‘what the fuck’ face, “Are you serious? wait, ok you are serious… wow that is quite the record.” I said and gave a little applause.
“Yep! And I get to teach what I know to Lance.” She bent down and picked up her towel, wrapping it around her again.
“So now to the Displaced questions, who do you know other than the ones you told me you fucked?” I asked actually curious about who she met.
“Typhon, Medulla -- he’s a Mewtwo--, Pecilla, Flynn, and Luke. The last three are all in the same universe.”
“Ok the only other Displaced I know is Folteren and he is literally evil like evil evil but he got me out of stone and he is nice to other Displaced… oh and he hates being called Folty.” I said with a smile, “And someone actually got Displaced as a Pokemon?”
“Zinnia’s actually half-pokemon herself, and Lance has a Blaziken apparently.” Max snapped her fingers and the towels disappeared in a flash, only to be replaced with her usual outfit.
“Ok interesting, and that outfit so much LIS right there or Life is Strange as it actually is called.” I said as I walked around her and looking at the outfit. “Oh and I should probably get a new outfit this one is a little dusty.”
“You might want to visit the Bearer of Generosity first then. She’s a seamstress and there’s a chance she’ll give you an outfit.” Max dug in her bag and pulled out a pencil case. “You want any tokens? The Merchant gave me one of every token there is and then gave me all of them again for some odd reason.”
“Actually while I was looking a bit into Folteren’s universe I found that he knows Freddy, Golden Freddy, so I actually want to talk to him at one point so do you have that one?” I asked looking hopeful. “And I don’t need a new outfit I can just do this.” I snapped my fingers and… nothing, “Oh come on! Magical burn out on chaos magic!? seriously!?”
“Yeah, I have his.” She tossed me a coin and a necklace with a black scythe on it. “The other one’s for a Displaced Venom, haven’t called him yet but Kat visited him.”
“Thanks and I just figured out that the headache of using your magic too much gets bigger the more I try to use chaos powers while on burnout.” I said with my hands making circles on my temples. “And I am not an infinite source like Discord, which is why I can burnout.”
“I can help with that,” she said, holding up her right hand. She stared at me for a few minutes, her fingers moving slightly before she hummed and crossed her arms. “I could only shorten the time it takes for your chaos to recharge by three hours. You shouldn’t try using it until tomorrow, though.”
“Thanks at least the headache is going away slightly, so now it’s less painful and more of an annoyance.” I said shaking my head a bit to clear it out. “Oh and I should probably do something for you now, no?”
“Nah, so far most of the Displaced I’ve met have helped me with something and I haven’t been able to help them. But you could send me back, it’s almost time to feed Golden and Light.”
“The least I can do is give you something so here is one of my pistols, my favorite mind you and it has two cylinders and is quite effective, I engraved it myself and it never failed me and now I think you should have it. If you don’t take it I will take offence.” I said and yes the last thing was a threat.
Max rubbed the back of her head, trying to decide what to do. Finally she shook her head and said, “I already have a submachine gun, a shotgun, a sniper rifle, and a pistol. I don’t need anymore guns, but I am lacking a melee weapon.”
I chuckled a bit, “Ha did you really think I would give you this, sorry but yes I wouldn’t no matter what, so melee? hidden or non hidden?” I asked very seriously.
“Hidden so I can take care of assassins if they get past my guards. No offence meant.”
“None taken since I am more of a pirate than an assassin I would say, so a hidden blade or bigger?”
“I think just the hidden blade would be enough. Though I’d rather have something that’s longer and more collapsable,” Max said as she floated up a little. “I’m getting a bit restless, could we walk and talk?”
“Sure thing.” I said as I began walking, “So a hidden sword and blade?”
“Yeah, I’m gonna need a last line of defense if I want to continue with my plans. I even plan on modding my guns so they hold one more bullet than normal.”
“Ok I don’t specialize in guns other than ones like the ones I have but I can give ya the hidden blade and sword now… if I can find them in my backpack.” I said and pulled my backpack out and looked through it, “Ah here they are a hidden blade and sword… do you want two hidden blades?”
Max thought for a moment, then said, “Well, you can never be too paranoid. I’ll have two of them then.”
“Alright comin’ right up!” I said as I pulled out what looked like a stick the size of my underarm and a wooden box, “Ok the sword is the stick and it has leather straps to put it on your arm.” I demonstrated by strapping it to my arm and flicking it so that it flew forward and into my hand while still being connected to my underarm, “Now do you know how to put on a hidden blade?”
“Sadly, no. But I could probably figure out how if it’s just a few straps that you have to tighten.”
“Well it’s just like the sword just different mechanisms.”
“Okay then, I can figure out how they work-” she paused as she noticed something and floated to the ground. “Dammit, I need to stop doing that.”
“Doing what exactly?” I asked not noticing a difference.
“Not walking. I’m gonna turn into a blob of fat if I float around for too long and I don’t want to lose my figure.”
“Oh well you do have a nice figure and I would hate for it to be ruined… but I guess this is finally the end of this meeting and don’t be afraid of calling me for anything because I am quite ok with you summoning me.” I said.
“Okay, see ya later then.”
“I guess, well see ya some time soon, *clears throat* Our contract is complete Max.” I said with a smile, “And remember I am always there just a summon away… wow that sounded a lot less cheesy in my head.
“Don’t break too many hearts,” Max said as a portal opened under her and she fell in.
Well that was quite the talk and I found and helped a new friend.
And I kept walking down the road going for Ponyville.
