Previous Chapter Next Chapter"Give up your freedom, and I will protect you!" -Baron Praxis
We've spent hours in the meeting room explaining Celestia and Luna how the old gang came here. Luna, once she saw Sig, wouldn't let him go, perks for being their babysitter while I was out fighting for the city.
After a while, we finished discussing the fucking logic that the rift gate has. Now we made our way back to our cars to go back to the Everfree castle with Celestia and Luna tagging along with their own.
They got their cars back at the Kras City Grand Championship. They were about eighteen years old by that time. They both entered the Championship in alternate identities, they've managed to win enough races to go on to the qualifier races. Of course at the time I didn't know, I was to focused on winning against Razor in the race but after I won the race in first place. They got in second and third, leaving Razor in an outrage.
They went to their garages, thinking that they were alone but I was following them the entire way. After I found out it was them, all hell broke loose. After they said that they just wanted to help and reminded me that they have expert driving skills, I allowed them to keep racing.
So, they put out their old racing cars. Luna had the Anvil RTX for it's armor and incredible speed, while Celestia had her own Javelin X for amor, speed and of course, weaponry.
After they arrived with their vehicles fully prepped, we all got in our own cars and drove off towards the Everfree.
I looked at Twilight sitting next to me having the time of her life. I looked back to the road and hit the turbo, leaving eveyrone in the dust.
Everfree castle
After ten minutes of pure speed, we made it back to the garage. I got out and helped Twilight out of the car.
"That was surprisingly fun." She said with a small laugh.
"Thanks, I tried my best." I said, giving her a small bow.
After a while, everyone else arrived and got of their cars.
"Took you guys long enough." I said to the gang.
"Whatever man." Dax said as he got on the hood of his car and sat down.
"So now that we're here, where are we going to live?" Sig asked, and saw that Luna raised her hand.
"No, I'm not going to live in a fancy castle." He said, not even looking at Luna. I turned to look at Luna as she slowly lowered her hand.
"Worth a try." She said as she got out of her car and walked over to her sister. I turned to look back at Sig.
"You guys could live here or you can work for the money to by your own house at Ponyville." I suggested.
"What kind of name is that?" Torn said, chuckling to himself but stopped as he remembered the name for the rebellion.
"Don't answer that." He immediately said afterwards, gaining a laugh form his mare-friend.
"We could live here and find a job in town, maybe a metal head exterminator would do?" Dax said as he laid back on the hood only to be flipped off by Sig opening the hood with a switch
"There aren't many Metal heads left." I said to him as i found a stool and grabbed it.
"I heard the door open, so they must be back now." I heard Zii say through the door of the garage as it opened.
"Gee you think, jackass." Al replied as they went through with Scoots and Nyx behind them.
"Hey dad, hey Twilight!" The girls simultaneously greeted as they walked over to us.
"Hey girls, did you two behave while we were gone?" I asked, gaining nods from the both of them.
"Yeah, but did you know they fight a lot?" Scoots said.
"Yeah, while they were working on that robot, we found some board games and in the middle of the game, we saw them both hitting each other with a wrench." Nyx said as she found some seats and used her magic to grab two of them and set them down near us.
"Brotherly love, it comes in different ways. The day they don't fight, is the day were we need to worry about." I said to them as I got up and let Twilight take the stool. Luna came over to greet Nyx.
"Hello Nyx, how's my little sister doing?" Luna said as she hugged Nyx.
"I'm great!" Nyx said in happiness. Luna turned to look at Scoots in confusion.
"And who might you be little filly?" Luna asked her.
"My names Scootalo, your highness." She said as she bowed her head.
"Scootalo here is my sister and best friend." Nyx said as she walked over to Scootalo.
"Sister?" Luna asked as she looked at me confusion. Twilight got up and took Luna somewhere else to explain the situation, while I stayed with Scootalo and Nyx.
"You okay Scoots?" I asked as I got to her and knelt down.
"Yeah, it's just, how do you know the princesses?" She asked as she looked at me.
"Well, I'm their father, I adopted them when their real dad died in a war." I said to her.
"He told me in his dying breath, 'I want you to do something of great importance. Please, raise my daughters as if they were your own, they don't deserve to live a life with no parents. I'm not asking you as a king, I'm begging you as a loving father to his daughters.' after he said that he died, but not in vein. He died helping me save the world from some Evil aliens that wanted to destroy the world." I explained to them.
"He died a hero, right?" I heard Luna ask behind me.
"Yeah, he did." I said sadly to her as I stood back up.
"Twilight explained to me about Scootalos situation. Me and Tia will help find those two and bring them to justice or banish them into the wasteland and let the Muradour have them." Luna said, shrugging her shoulders and sat down.
"Hey Zii!" I shouted out.
"What!?" He shouted as his head poked around the corner.
"Where's Rhino?" I asked him.
"He'll be here in a few minutes." He said as we all heard the sound of the throne rooms doors opening above and closing soon afterwards.
"Who?" I heard Sig say.
"A friend named Rhino, tell me are you racist?" I asked him.
"No, the day I'm racist is the day I die." He said as the door to the garage door opened.
"Jak! Why the hell did I see a few cars enter here?" Rhino said as he closed the door behind.
"Because, we were driving them." I said to him. The gang saw Rhino and saw his metal head armor.
"Why is there a metal head here?" Torn asked as he pulled out his pistol and aimed. I walked towards him and took the gun.
"He isn't a metal head any more, he's a Metal-pony. I changed him to one not to long ago." I said as I grabbed another seat and gave it to Rhino.
"So Rhino, have you seen Nano lately?" I asked him.
"Last I saw him, he was helping me and Appljack with applebucking, so he could see how good he could do as a normal pony." He said as he looked over to Sig.
"Who's the kirin?" He asked.
"Names Sig, professional metal-head hunter and wastelander." Sig said as he put his hand out. Rhino put his out too and started shaking it.
Time: 2:00 P.M.
It took two hours but everyone soon warmed up to Rhino. I looked at the clock on the wall and saw that we've been out all day. As i got up, I remembered a certain drake was missing.
"Hey Zii, where's Spike?" I asked Lokzii.
Zii then took me and Twilight to the Jet-boarding room, and went inside. We all saw Spike land a full 360° spin on a rail.
"Enjoying it bud!?" I shouted to get his attention.
"Yup, I need one of these!" He said as he hovered over here.
"You can keep this one if you want, we got plenty more." Zii said as he walked towards a closet filled with them.
"Come on Spike, let's get the girls and go home." I said to him. We made our way back towards the garage to get Nyx and Scoots.
"Now listen you two, never trust a dead man, that's what my mama always said." We heard Sig say as we got to the door and went inside.
"Scootalo, Nyx, come on. We're heading home." I said to them, gaining their attention. They both got up, said their goodbyes and walked towards us. I turned to look at the gang.
"If you guys ever need anything, just head over to town and look for a giant tree house." I said to them as I walked out.
On the way home we passed by Fluttershys cottage and saw Pyro helping out with her animals. He looked at us and waved but was soon hit with a bat by angel, knocking him out cold. We sped up before anything else could happen.
We passed by Sugarcube Corner for something to eat and saw Nano helping out Pinkie.
"I swear to every carbon fiber of my being, that whatever that mare does is completely bullshit." I heard Nano say as he brought some Ice-cream for the girls and two milkshakes for me and Twilight.
"Dude, almost everything here is bullshit. Like all the times I've raced back at Kras City, I've crashed, burned or blown up through out the entire thing but came out fine, so deal with it and it'll grow on you." I said to him before taking a sip of the milkshake. Twilight looked at me as if I've gone insane.
"Long story, It started out when me and the gang were inviting for the reading of a will by a crime lord named Krew." I began explaining to Twilight, Spike and the girls the entire Kras City Grand Championship. Beginning at the time were me and the gang were poisoned and had to race if we wanted to live.
