I sighed pleasantly as I laid spread out in the sun. The air was warm and perfect against my skin on this day. Today, I found it best to relax after such a mess that the whole 'Battle of the Bands' debacle. As a couple, Twilight and I found it best to just simply take a vacation together in this alternate world. So we opted to stay a few days extra to spend our time together. Serenity joined in as well while Ember headed back through the portal.

Out in the center of the lake, the sounds of water splashing followed by giggling and girlish laughter showed that everyone else was thrilled to have Twilight around as well. If their constant 'girl talk' had been anything to go by. More than once I had been kicked out of the room. Unfortunately they were not very subtle and by subtle I mean not quiet. There was one talk that started with who was interested in who that ended with Twilight trying to explain how vaginal and anal sex felt.

Fun...

Thankfully the house was empty at that time, save for me.

Opening one eye, Twilight, Serenity and the girls were giggling away in the lake as they played some type of water game. Not too far away, Rainbow Dash -who somehow convinced Fluttershy to join her- were scaling up a hill towards a rock point to which they could jump from. Even from my distance of a hundred or so feet away, I could see Fluttershy's trembling form from the side of the hill. Once they reached the peak, Rainbow shouted 'cannonball!' and jumped, seconds later, splashed down with a big plume of water. Fluttershy, on the other hand, tried to back away and wimp out, but ultimatly slipped and went over the edge...

I sat up when I watched her lose control and topple over the edge. She tumbled through the air screaming at the top of her lungs before she landed feet first in the water with a smaller plume of water than Dash created. When she popped her head up not too much later, spiting out a small stream of water before blushing profusely from her embarrassing landing.

Upon seeing that she was fine, I laid back down and relaxed yet again, putting my hands behind my head as I closed my eyes. I had laid there for an indiscernible amount of time before I felt something very cold and very wet lay itself on top of my chest. "Mhmm… you're warm," Twilight hummed as she nuzzled my chest.

"And you are soaking wet! Holy shit!" I cursed. Twilight giggled and hugged me tighter, draining the warmth from my body as she hugged me tighter. With nowhere to go, I was forced to lay there, suffering in silence. With a roll of my eyes, I accepted my defeat and lifted my right arm and opted to rub her rapidly drying back. "You look cute in that bikini," I complimented. The two-piece swimwear was light pink with little white polka dots and fit her perfectly.

It felt nice to relax after an event where I barely did anything.

I still got kicked in the nuts though…

After some time, which was long enough for Twilight to dry off, she stepped off me and grabbed a drink from the nearby cooler. Sitting up myself, I leaned back, resting on the palms of my hands. Standing up, Twilight headed back into the water with a little sashay to her hips. To which I joyfully watched that tightly clad ass disappear into the water. As she swam off, Serenity came out of the water in a simple yellow one piece, sitting down on a nearby towel and reached into the cooler as well and grabbed a soda.

Glancing at her out of the corner of my eye, I went back to watching the girls as something to do on such a nice day. Without saying anything, I leaned over to her and started whispering. “Serenity?” I asked silently, causing her to lower her drink and turn her head at me. “When we get back to the Origin System… I’ll buy you anything you want if you steal Rarity’s bikini top.”

By now, my smirk could not be contained. Serenity for her part, snorted a laugh and grabbed her nose to keep from spitting up her drink. “Throw in some credits and something from in town and I’ll take Rainbows too while I’m at it! But you also have to take Twilight’s!”

“Deal!”

Both of us couldn’t scramble any faster to stand up and dive straight into the water. Taking a deep breath, I dove under the surface and rapidly paddled towards my girlfriend's legs. Up above on the surface, we could see each of the girls kicking, or relaxing against a float of some kind. Like a shark, the two of us came up below the gaggle of females. Silently paddling forward, I made sure not to get kicked in the face as I started working on the knot of Twilight’s bikini. Once both were loose enough to pull away, I silently unclasped the back of her top. Lastly, I eased my fingers out of the water and worked the knot on the back of her neck.

I have no idea how I was getting away with this…

Grasping onto the strings of both her top and bottom, I waited for my moment. Which was about a second later before I jerked my arms away, tearing off her swimsuit and diving as fast as I could. Once I was a safe distance away, I watched as Serenity was more violent with her attack, dragging Rarity completely under water, peeling the girl’s purple swimsuit off before she pushed her to the surface with her foot as though nothing happened.

I heard that scream, even that far under water.

Rainbow had to have been laughing her ass off based off of her positioning in the water before a pair of arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her under as well. With a few flicks of the wrist, she pulled the girls dark blue top and track shorts off in one swipe. I didn’t waste a second as I turned and started swimming away as fast as I could towards shore. Looking over my shoulder, Serenity was struggling not to laugh as she frantically swam away, suits in each hand.

As the shore started to close in rapidly, I decided to breach and run onto land, holding Twilight’s bikini over my head in victory, laughing hysterically at my victory. Serenity breached not too long later, turning around and holding her trophies high into the air, laughing equally hysterical.

Rarity screamed at the top of her lungs as Rainbow was probably blushing, but I could tell she was laughing occasionally as well.

Fluttershy was blushing profusely as Applejack and Pinkie were laughing hysterically. Sunset did her best to hide her smirk as she covered Spike’s eyes as they floated nearby on an innertube. Paddling towards the shore, the three nude girls approached, Twilight didn’t hesitate to come onto shore, glaring at me as she approached, but the small smile told me she found it funny. Rainbow and Rarity hesitated, requesting for their swimsuits back from the safety of the water, but only received a head shake from Serenity as she sat down on her towel and casually went back to her drink.

Eventually, the two relented, exiting the water, the two held an arm across their chests to cover their breasts, and their other hand to cover their crotches, blushing horribly as they glared at the two of us. Next to me, Twilight grabbed her earlier drink and started drinking, caring little about her nudity.

Rarity glanced at Twilight before she gawked at the girl and her lack of modesty. “T-Twilight? Do you have no shame?”

Twilight blinked as she lowered her drink. “What do you mean? I walk around naked all the time back home. That’s the social norm back in Equestria,” she started to lean back and hold her drink to her lips, but spoke just before she started drinking. “It’s nothing Excalibur hasn’t seen before either.”

I shrugged. She wasn’t wrong.

“I’ll turn around,” I said politely before turning my back to the pair of naked teens. But must be honest when I say my smile didn't waiver. The two teens wasted little time in getting dressed. Once they were set, the pair sat down, Rarity with a huff as she crossed her arms in frustration while Rainbow leaned over towards Serenity and whispered something into her ear. Beaming, Serenity busted out laughing, grasping her forehead as she fell backwards. It must have been a compliment on her actions since Rainbow had a smile as well.

Solidifying our victory, I could rest easy.

Laying back in the sand, I closed my eyes and relaxed.

“OOF! Awe-haw…” I grunted when something heavy hit me in the stomach. Sitting up and opening my eyes, there was Twilight sitting on top of me, lazily sipping away at her drink. “Any reason why you did that?” I groaned.

“That was for taking my swimsuit,” she explained rather simply before taking a swig of her drink. I groaned my annoyance with a roll of my eyes as I ultimately accepted my fate. Turning around on top of me, Twilight faced me with a smirk before she spread her legs and gave me an unobstructed view of her pantie clad mound. With a cautious glance over her shoulder, she made sure that no one was looking before she reached down and pulled her panties aside.

Revealing her smooth, lower lips.

Shifting my gaze, she winked at me before she blew me a light kiss.

“Excalibur?” Sunset said, causing Twilight to rapidly cover herself as we looked towards the bacon haired girl. “Have you seen this?”

“Seen what?” I asked as I leaned to the side to see the girl past Twilight's leg.

Sunset lifted her phone and pointed the screen at me. “There is an article here with a picture of you saying that you are supposed to be accepting the key to the city today?”

“What?” I questioned as I raised an eyebrow. Looking to Twilight, she gave me the same confused look I had before we looked back towards Sunset.

“Here.” Tossing her phone, I caught the device in one hand and started reading the article. It went on to talk about how someone was supposed to be accepting the key to Canterlot today. As I read further, there were several pictures of me!

Someone asshole clad in my armor was parading around as me!

I almost crushed Sunset’s phone in my hand, but I knew she wouldn’t like that. “I need to deal with something… Twilight, get off!” Said female stood up and quickly got out of my way. Running over towards my clothing, I grabbed the storage device holding my armor and slapped it to my chest. Calling my archwing, the wings rapidly attached to my lower back before I jumped back over the water and took to the skies, lightly misting the girls.

Watching me, Twilight wilted slightly. “Awww…”

I landed nearby and quickly removed my helmet and pecked her on the cheek. “Love you!” With that I slipped my helmet back over my head and took to the skies.

In the center of the town square, the mayor of Canterlot stood proud, speaking of the mighty actions of the three crime stoppers standing behind him. Grasping the decorative key, he held the golden object high into the sky as his speech came to its spectacular conclusion!

I smashed against the concrete as I disconnected from my archwing, violently startling the gathered crowd, mayor, and the three impostors. As I looked them over, they were near perfect images of Drax, Serenity, and I. But there were some minor imperfections. Paint was incorrect in some areas, lacking in some areas and so on.

“You know,” I started, drawing my sword. “Where I come from, impersonating a Tenno… is punishable by death!”

The impostor of me looked towards his friends in a frenzy before he steeled himself and stepped forward. “I’ll have you-”

“Blow it out your ass and fight me numb nuts!” Screw that pathetic attempt at looking tough. Hesitantly, he reached for the handgun on his thigh, but he never grabbed it. His hand was shaking violently from his obvious bout nervousness. “Go ahead, shoot me” I challenged while holding out my arms. I knew he wasn’t going to shoot with the civilians behind me. He took a deep breath and looked back at his ‘teammates’. With a tilt of his head towards me, the fake Drax and fake Serenity took defensive stances.

“Deal with this impostor!” the fake me shouted.

That voice sounded slightly familiar, But I couldn't place where.

“You’re dead!” I pointed at him, talking past the other two.

Taking a few faster steps forward, the fake Serenity jumped, spinning into the air and going for a kick. Blocking the strike with my arm I punched her in the stomach before I blocked the dagger strike from the dragon. Grabbing him by the wrist, I jerked his arm, forcing him to drop the weapon. Turning around, I drew my sword and pommeled the female before slashing the dragon across the leg. Turning back, I kicked the girl in the stomach and used my momentum to kick the fake dragons’ legs out from underneath him before I body checked him down the stairs.

Fake Serenity went for a punch to the back of the head, trying to catch me off guard. Leaning to the side, the wayward strike went over my shoulder. Grasping the limb, I pulled her over my back and threw her against the ground. Pulling back on her arm, I placed my foot against her shoulder and gave it a nice jerk, dislocating her right arm with a mighty crack. As I stepped back, I bent at the waist, catching the now recovered dragon off guard, sending him tumbling over my back. As she held her dislocated arm, screaming in agony, I grabbed onto the fabric of her pants and heaved.

They came off in my grasp, revealing a pair of bright pink legs and white panties. Tossing the thick pair of clothing to the side, I kicked her in the knee with enough force to dislocate that as well. The scream was very high pitched as she wailed in agony as I grabbed onto her collar. Grasping the chest pieces of her suit, the fabric tore with ease as her underwear clad form landed hard against the ground. Grasping the fabric and not metal-like helmet, I pulled it from her head. I don’t know who she was, but her long, yellow locks of blonde hair spilled out from underneath the helmet, her face covered with tears of pain and suffering.

“How dare you!” the fake dragon frame shouted.

I pegged him with the helmet.

It was enough to disorient the man before I caught him by the neck and lifted him into the air before slamming him back first into the concrete. He moaned in pain as I grasped his helmet and tore it from his head, revealing a tan gentleman with white hair and blue eyes. He went cross eyed as the light hit him in the face. Finding a zipper that the helmet had been concealing, I grabbed it and started to remove his armor as well. Sitting up, he was about to protest before I grabbed him by the collar and cracked his head against the concrete. Pulling the rest of his makeshift armor off, I tossed it into the air and slashed at it, reducing the stuff to shreds. Standing up, I turned and started to walk away…

Before I spun around and kicked him in the crotch!

There was a very loud and audible cracking noise as the man screamed out in a pitch much higher than normal. The crowd, especially the men, moaned in invisible pain. Satisfied, I turned to face the last one. The man stared in shock at his two incapacitated companions. Shakily, he reached behind his back and pulled out a sword. I watched as the blade shook ever so slightly, but it was enough to grab my attention. Holding up my hand…

The weapon was pulled from his grasp as I caught it in my own. “Well? Your turn?” He took a step back. “You run and you’re getting this very sword straight through the spine,” I promised as I held up the weapon, shaking it lightly for emphasis. He took another step back. Stepping forward and with a small hop, I heaved the weapon. The man screamed in agony as the sword impaled him through the shoulder, knocking him off his feet as he grabbed his injured and bleeding shoulder

He landed hard against the ground, screaming in agony as he held the weeping wound. “Or maybe I would do something like that,” I shrugged as I approached the downed man. As he rolled around in agony, I grasped the handle of the weapon as I placed my foot against his chest. He begged for mercy, but I didn’t listen as I pulled the blade from his shoulder. “Your armor might be bulletproof, but not enough to stop a sword.” Dropping into a squat, I grasped his horn and lifted his head.

"You're not me…"

Tearing his helmet from his head, a young man with white skin and blue hair fell out from underneath. My eyes went wide as I stared at the young man.

It was Shining Armor!

Well this took an interesting turn of events.

I had to give him credit for the creativity though, but this was just stupid. And as much as I wanted to beat the idiocy out of him, this man didn't know who I was directly. Glaring at him, I grabbed him around the collar and cracked the back of his skull against the concrete with enough force to daze him. Just like the other two, I stripped him down to his underwear and demolished the suit. Lastly, I turned towards the mayor. The larger man yelped as he held the key closer to his chest. Stepping over the moaning young man at my feet, I approached the mayor, grabbing him by the collar.

"Unless they can fly, they are not me, you got that?" I threatened. In turn, the overweight leader vigorously nodded his head and held out the key. I stared at it for a hot second before accepting…

Releasing him, I placed the item on the podium.

Several officers stormed towards me, handguns drawn as they shouted at me to put my hands in the air. Calling my archwing, it attached to my back like always before I took to the skies, leaving them dumbfounded and empty handed. Once I was far enough away, I sighed. All I wanted to do today was relax with my girlfriend, nothing more. Orienting myself back towards the lake, I let the roar of the air zooming past me to relax slightly.

It lasted for a little while before a message appeared on my H.U.D.

Glancing at it, several messages appeared talking about a hijacking. Confused, I hacked into the local area and did some looking around. There were texts, emails, phone calls, and radio traffic indicating that there was a plane hijacked in the immediate area. Narrowing my eyes, I tracked many of the transmissions towards a large aircraft not too far from my position.

It wasn't hard to make my decision.

Banking in that direction, I flooded the engines.

Within minutes I saw the four-engine aircraft as it sailed through the air. Coming up behind the airbus, I leveled out behind the wings, looking through the windows. Inside, numerous people had looks of worry and horror etched on their faces. Love ones held each other while others vigorously typed away on phones and computers. Scanning the aircraft, I found multiple points of entry. As I picked out my best way in through the belly, I turned my head back…

Several heads were now pressed against the smaller glass windows, frantically pointing towards the front of the craft as they shouted at me!

Holding up my hands, I gestured for everyone to calm down. Flying under the body of the plane, I decided to enter through one of the wheel wells. Pulling my sword free, I shoved it into the seam and pried the door open. Grasping it with both hands, I disconnected from my Odonata and crawled through and into the belly of the plane. After crawling up the wheel strut, I was forced to crouch within the small confines of the plane as I crawled towards the back of the aircraft. Unfortunately, there was no access towards the passenger part of the cabin…

Opening my claws, I buried them to the knuckle in the metal. Hacking my way through the floor, I made a hole big enough to weasel through before I pulled myself through. Once through, a young woman in a uniform offered her hand as well as a young man in jeans and a simple t-shirt. Pulling me towards me feet, I was swarmed with questions. Everyone was either panicked or worried and justifiably so.

"Hold on hold on!" I shouted over the crowd. Once everyone had quieted down, I continued speaking. "I suggest everyone sit down and strap in!"

Hopefully it won't get to crazy…

It's going to get crazy...

The next several seconds were a frantic frenzy as people rushed as fast as they could to take their seats, followed by the sounds of clicking as they strapped into their seats. All while this was happening, I drew my Lex and worked my way towards the cabin. Once I made it towards the door, I gingerly tested the handle.

Locked… of course…

Looks like I was going for a breach. Grabbing a breaching charge, I placed one against the handle, one towards the top of the door and the other towards the floor. Stepping back, and around the only available corner…

I detonated the devices.

Three small explosions blasted the door, severing the locks within. Startling the men inside the cockpit, the plane shook, but not enough to cause me trouble. Breaching through the door, I leveled my Lex at one of the pilots, cracking a shot though his back as he slumped forward in his seat. Next to me, the navigator attempted to stand, but I forced him to stay seated as I shoved my left Venka through the back of his seat, impaling him from behind.

Pulling my hand free, I charged the remaining pilot. Frantically, and in his panic, he pushed forward on the stick. The plane lurched forward violently as I was thrown from my feet and into temporary zero gravity. Behind me, everyone screamed in terror behind me as we made a rapid and violent dive. Grasping onto the door frame as I was nearly thrown down the length of the craft. Groaning from the strength of the powerful g-forces, I holstered my Lex and opened both sets of claws. With the screams of terror and the beeping coming from inside the cockpit, I pulled myself forward. When I made it into the room, I grasped the navigator’s seat and got my foot on the solid surface of the wall behind me.

With a mighty leap, I impaled the second pilot through the back of his seat with both hands. He screamed as he stared at the six daggers sticking out of his lower abdomen, struggling to pull my right arm free, I held my arm back and shoved it through the back of the chair yet again, this time a little higher, punch through his shoulder. Pulling my left arm free, I grabbed the back of the chair and pulled my right arm back and punched it through the back of his neck.

I didn't have time to celebrate as I reached over the top of the body and grasped the stick, pulling on it with all my might!

Holy shit it was like flying a brick as I eventually pulled the plane out of its dive and leveled it off. As my shins and knees hit the floor, I sighed in relief. With one hand on the stick, I pulled the body out of the seat and tossed it behind me before I did the same with the other before I sat down and grasped the stick.

"Sir are you…" I heard a female voice say behind me. Turning around, a young woman stood in the doorway, holding a hand to her mouth as she gagged. She locked eyes with me as I waved her forward.

"I'm fine," I told her as I looked over the control panel. "Is this thing analog!?" I shouted in frustration. "Are you kidding me! I can't fly this!" Behind me, the stewardess went pale. Okay not the best thing to say after retaking the cockpit. But I can work with it! A flash of sparks caused me to lift my arm to shield myself. "Dammit! The control panels shot!" In my retaking of the cockpit, I accidentally shot the controls! Frustrated, I slapped the panel, causing it to spark again and the young woman and I to use an arm to shield ourselves. Groaning in anger, I grabbed my helmet and pulled it off my head and set it on the floor next to me. Grabbing the headset, I pulled it over my head.

"Delta Flight 5169, this is Captain Striker of the United States Air Force please respond." I was too busy trying to keep this thing aloft to even respond. "Delta flight 5169 respond immediately or you will be fired upon!"

"Will you back off!" I shouted into the mic. "I'm having a hard-enough time controlling this monstrosity without you yelling in my ear!" The plane jerked violently as the controls started to blare at me. "What was that?" Turning to look out the window as best as I could, I couldn't see towards the engines. "Go check it out!" I ordered the young stewardess. Nodding, she quickly exited the cockpit and ran down the aisle of the plane.

"Delta Flight 5169 you are hereby ordered to head straight for Canterlot Air Force Base or you will be-"

"Fired upon! Look you shithead! This thing is falling apart on me! I have no altitude, no speedometer, nothing! So fucking BACK OFF! "

Just then the young woman reentered the cockpit. "One of the engines is smoking really badly!"

"And a flame out!" I shouted into the mic. Flicking numerous switches, I did my best to cut the fuel to the engine. With one last flick, the beeping stopped as I also felt the plane lose power and slow down. "This bucket of bolts is barely staying together! And you aren't doing me any justice! So, if this thing crashes, you ass is on the line!"

Pulling up in front of me, I watched as the two fighters took up as escorts. "Either get me on the ground or get out of the way!"

There was no response for some time. And in that time, I focused on keeping this cigar tube in the air. There was an unnerving rattling coming from somewhere and the engines didn't feel right. But for the sake of everyone else, I needed to limp this thing to the ground without killing everyone on board. That dive did something alright, and I didn't like it.

"Delta Flight 5169 you are to follow us to Canterlot Air Force Base for immediate landing. Do not deviate from this course or you will be fired upon, is that clear?"

I rolled my eyes. "Just get me on the ground." Taking the lead, I gently brought the craft around and leveled off, heading towards the landing strip. "Miss… uh," I turned around and glanced back at the young stewardess. "Honey Dew?" I said reading her name tag. "You know how to talk to the rest of the plane?"

"Uhhh…" Stepping forward, she looked over the mismatch of buttons before she pointed at one. "I do believe that this is it."

Pressing it, I heard something behind me as the intercom came to life. "Everyone," I tested, hearing my voice through the door and further back in the plane. "You can take a breather now, I've retaken the cockpit!" The sounds of cheering echoed throughout the plane as I smiled, glancing towards the woman next to me as she smiled in relief. "We are currently being escorted by the military towards a nearby landing strip. Kick back, relax, and I'll have this bird on the ground as fast as I can."

The rest of the flight was a fairly calm except for a small bout of turbulence.

Watching as we approached the landing strip, the tower helped me to lower the wheels as I brought it in for final approach. Pulling back on the stick, I lined up with the lines on the ground.

"Delta you're coming in to hot PULL UP NOW!"

My eyes went wide as I pulled back on the stick as hard as I could and pushed hard on the throttle. The engines roared as I flooded them with as much power as I could as we rapidly ascended back into the air. Everyone aboard screamed in horror we rapidly ascended into the air.

"Tower, you care to explain what the hell that was!?"

"Delta you were coming in way to hot, you were not going to brake in time!"

Groaning, I leveled off. Without a speedometer, I had no clue if I could put this thing on the ground safely without it careening off the landing strip. As I started to bank around, there was a loud explosion that rocked the plane, causing it to jolt violently. Looking over my shoulder, I tried to get eyes on the problem.

"Tell me something!?"

Honey Dew unbuckled from her seat just outside the cockpit door and ran towards the back of the plane. "Engine two is flaming out!" she frantically shouted as she ran back towards me. As quickly as I could, I cut the fuel to that specific engine as I started to bank back around. Angling it to the right, I started to prepare to bring the plane around for another landing. Running through my options, I had an idea!

"Captain Striker, you still there?"

"What appears to be the problem Delta?"

I didn't waste a second. "I've lost another engine and I don't have a speedometer! I'm flying blind here! I need a mouse to chase!" I listed as fast as I could. I needed to get this cigar on the ground and the faster the better!

"Copy that Delta, coming around your nose now!"

The streamlined jet took up position just off my nose. "Keep your position Captain, I got you!"

"Copy that Delta!"

Once we finally banked around, I kept pace with the smaller jet, doing my best to keep the plane at the correct speed and distance in order to land. Flipping on the intercom, I addressed the passengers. "Everyone I suggest you brace for impact should this go bad." In the back, it was a frantic frenzy as everyone prepared for impact as the sterwadesses began shouting orders in prepartion for landing. Bending in half, everyone used their arms to cover their heads should this go awry.

Unconsciously, I gripped both the throttle and the stick a little tighter as I put the brakes on as we began touch down. The remaining two engines roared and wind whislted across the flaps as the tires squeaked and squealed violently once they hit the ground. I clenched my jaw as I did everything in my power to land the plane.

The last one-hundred meters were agonizing as the craft started to slow down…

Just like that, it was over.

Releasing the stick and the throttle, I held up my hands, silently expecting the stick to explode. When nothing happened, I finally let out a sigh of relief. Lowering my arms, I tapped the intercom button one last time. "Everyone I have good news and bad news," I said over the intercom. "Good news is we are on the ground…" Letting my silence build some dramatic tension, I finished with the bad news. "Bad news is that the tower wants me to parallel park this thing, so I suggest you get off now as to not bear witness to that!"

That garnered several laughs and chuckles from the back of the plane as I chuckled at my own joke. Stripping the headset, I unceremoniously tossed it over the stick before grabbing my helmet and standing up, slipping the object over my head and exiting the cockpit.

"That's one hell of a pilot!" someone shouted from the back of the plane as I stepped through the door. Lifting my head, dozens of people cheered and clapped for me. Smiling, I held up my hands as though it was no big deal. I didn't deserve the praise, I just did what needed to be done. Honey Dew didn't waste any time in stepping forward and pulling me into a very grateful hug.

"Thank you…" she whispered into my armor. Releasing me, she wiped the tears from her face as she grasped the handle on the door and pulled it open. After pushing it open, she reached down and pulled another handle, which released a rapidly inflating slide.

"Oh, this thing comes with a slide!? Hell yah!" I cheered, trying to make light of the situation. Opting to stay until everyone was off the craft, I helped Honey Dew onto the slide, watching as she slid down to the bottom and into the waiting arms of some soldiers at the bottom who led her away towards the medics. Hopping on myself, I slid down on my feet before stepping off. Nervously, the awaiting soldiers gave me an air of caution as they gripped their rifles tighter but didn't raise them.

Stepping out of the way, they made room as a man in a blue uniform approached me with this aura of authority. Clearly he was the commanding officer here. "Son, these people truly owe you their lives," he said as he approached, offering me a hand.

Reaching out, I shook it. "Just doing my job."

As I shook his hand, I saw this look of uncertainty in his eyes. He was battling something internally and it put me on edge. "Unfortunately, I have to do the same…" upon releasing my hand, he stepped back and nodded towards his men. "Please forgive me for following orders…"

All around me, safeties were flicked off and long guns were raised in my direction. Turning my head, the fifteen or so men all had the same look of worry and unease on their faces. They didn't want to do this either.

"Well… orders are orders…" I told him.

"Please don't… for the sake of my men?" he begged.

I could faintly hear my archwing in the distance as it appeared on my radar. "Now I never said I was going to fight them," I clarified before my 'wing attached to my back. "Good by Sir!" I saluted before I took to the skies, leaving the base and men behind.

But that was not the end of the day for me…

"Congratulations," I heard in my comms. The voice was clearly foreign, but I wanted to know how he hacked my comms!

"How in the hell did you hack into my comms!?"

"It wasn't hard…" he dismissed.

"No, I can guarantee you that it is hard!" I shouted at the mysterious man. "That firewall in a mile wide and changes constantly!" As I ranted, I secretly hacked into their comms, tracking the location to a boat just off shore. Banking that direction, I flooded the engines. "There is nothing advanced enough to punch through that!"

"Then why don't you come here and find out?"

I was already within eye shot of the watercraft by the time he said that. Pulling my Imperator from the wing, I deployed the weapon.

"Already on my way…"

I slammed down against the back of the yacht with enough force to cause the craft to dip in the water. Standing tall, I aimed the weapon at the three men sitting around a table. Two of them were wearing jet black suits and large glasses, one of them was younger, late teens early twenties, the other more middle aged and sporting an eye patch. The third gentleman, sitting at the head of the table, protecting his steak by holding the plate to the table, wore a large brown Stetson, grey jacket, blue vest and white shirt. Unlike the other two, he had a bright silver goatee, while the other two were clean shaven.

Eyeing the three men, I homed in on the middle-aged man to my right as he smiled up at me. "You came faster than I anticipated," he said. His accent was that of a European descent as he stood up and adjusted his jacket.

"Sit, or I sink the boat!" I threatened.

He paused, before he nodded his head once and sat back down, crossing his legs, he intertwined his fingers and held his knee.

"You know yah don't need to be such a dick!"

I snapped towards the younger kid as he glared up at me.

"How about I canoe your head instead?" I countered, making him lean back as shock crossed his features. That made him second guess his attitude.

"Eggsy, I suggest you not threaten our guest," the one-eyed man politely stated. "This is not how a gentleman and a host treat their guests."

"Why don't you all just blow it out your asses!" the man at the head of the table said as he continued to focus on his steak. Placing his utensils down, he wiped his mouth with a cloth napkin and stood up. "Name's Champagne! At your service!" He greeted with a drawl similar to Applejack's, but not as thick. "These two boys from across the pond are my acquaintances Galahad and…" he gestured towards the younger man, but when he hesitated when he turned to the elder one, tilting his head in confusion. "Galahad… you two boys need to figure something else out here! Confusin' as hell!"

"What my companion here is trying to say is that we need your help," The… Second Galahad clarified.

I narrowed my eyes and closed my arch-gun, holstering it back on the wing before crossing my arms. "How so?"

"Oh, now he's interested!" The First Galahad huffed in annoyance, throwing his arms in the air.

"My friends here," Champagne grunted as he sat down and went back to his meal. "Need help to stop someone from destroying the world."

"Which is why we contacted you," eye patch man exclaimed. Glancing between all three of them, I looked into their awaiting gazes. Not a single one of them was bullshiting me.

"Alright," I relented. "What do you need me to do?"

Galahad, Eggsy, and I sat around a table at a local bar, the former two nursing beers and me a soda. "I still can't believe you use a sword!" Eggsy exclaimed as he recounted my actions from the other day. "You're one crazy son-of-a-bitch!" he finished with a sip of his drink.

"And you need to get better!" I countered with a laugh. "But the bullet proof suits are pretty slick. Stylish and useful! I know a girl that might like that."

Galahad smiled. "That is the purpose of the Kingsman. No gentleman goes out without his best attire."

"Well ah think this here gentlemen should git!"

Confused, all three of us turned our heads towards a table of muscular and heavily bearded men. All of them were glaring at us like we were the scum of the earth.

"We don't take to kindly to one-eyed freaks of nature from across the pond!" a heavy-set man in a leather jacket said as he stood up and wandered over to us. "So, unless you want my friends and I to huck you out like the trash that you are, I suggest you leave!"

I glanced at Galahad as he looked at me with a neutral expression. "Well, I know when I'm not wanted." With that he finished off the remainder of his drink and stood up, grabbing his umbrella and heading for the door.

"Yah you git! You filthy ape!"

Just as he reached the door, he stopped. "You know…" he started, reaching for a lock on the door. "We have a saying where I come from…"

He locked one lock.

"Manners…"

Another lock.

"Maketh…"

A third lock.

"Man... Do you know what that means?" When no one said anything, he finished his statement. "Well, let me teach you a lesson then." Holding up his umbrella, he hooked the curved handle around a forgotten beer glass. With a mighty heave and a scrape of glass, the drinking glass sailed through the air…

And past the man's head and smashed against the far wall.

I blinked. "You missed!" Eggsy and I turned and faced Galahad with confused and dumbfounded expressions. "After all that shit, we did. You missed...?"

Groaning I placed my armor device against my chest and let that quickly replace my clothes. Once my helmet finally closed around my head, I stood up, Eggsy following suit not long after.

"Alright boys," I said, cracking my neck. "We going to fight or what?" Next to me, Eggsy rolled his neck. Not too far away, three men stood up out of their seats and approached us with that look of anger in their eyes. "I got the two on the left."

Then shit hit the fan.

I blocked a strike with my left forearm and punched my aggressor in the gut before leaning to dodge a series of strikes from the second man. He swung like the drunk he was, each strike was easy to spot and just as easy to dodge. Occasionally I slapped his hands away just to irritate him. When I saw an opening, I palmed him in the nose, making the man's head recoil back as he grasped the afflicted area. Grabbing him by the back of his shirt, I spun and threw him towards the door. He landed with a roll just as the second man grabbed me around the waist.

"Holy shit you're strong!" I yelped as he lifted me into the air. Turning, he threw me against the bar, the edge burying itself in my lower back. I ignored the soreness and dodged two punches before grabbing an errand bottle of beer and smashing it over the man's head. He grunted, grabbing his soaked head as I grabbed the beer nozzle from behind the bar. Grabbing the partially soaked man by his hair, I jerked his head back and shoved the nozzle in his mouth before turning it on and slamming his jaw shut.

"I suggest you swallow!"

He stared at me wide eyed as his cheeks began to puff out and his lips leak beer and foam. Wrapping the hose around his neck, the wide-eyed man drowning in booze, gagged as I shoved him over the bar. I grunted when a chair was smashed over the back of my head. Leaning to the side, I grabbed the man by the back of the neck and cracked his forehead on the bar.

"You okay over there?" I asked casually as I turned around and leaned against the bar, watching as Eggsy took on one of his guys. Reaching over the bar, I grabbed an empty beer glass, held it high to an invisible toast, and threw it. It tinked loudly as it one of my partners targets head, forcing him to fall into a table and shatter it. I honestly expected the glass to shatter.

Shit was well made.

Eggsy grunted as he kicked one of them. "Wanna swap?" I asked before I grabbed the man at my feet by the nose. He screamed into my glove, grasping my wrist as I started to lead him forward. Still on his knees, I dragged him along before his forehead banged loudly against the edge of the bar, knocking him out cold. As I approached my partner, the man I hit in the head with the glass, stood up, wiping the blood from his forehead thanks to that wound I gave him. Reaching behind his back, he pulled out a rather large knife. My eyes went wide.

"Knife!"

Turning, the Kingsman spotted the weapon before he grabbed the man in front of him by the arm and held it high. The knife wielder shoved the blade into his friends shoulder. Kicking his captive in the knee, the knife came free as Eggsy's hostage fell to the floor. Stepping in between the knifeman, I opened my claws and caught the blade with them. Metal grinded as he pulled the blade free. Thrusting it forward, I leaned to the side and forced the center most blade of my left claws into his forearm.

He stared in horror, shock, and confusion at the bleeding blade protruding from his arm. Grasping the knife with my good hand, I took it from his grasp and held it in front of his face. "Thanks for the knife." Pulling my Venka free, I headbutted the man with enough force to make him do a backflip before he hit the ground with a meaty thump. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the last aggressor do a flip as well. Turning towards my partner, he stepped up next to me with a knowing smirk of victory.

Glancing past him, I saw the bartender on the phone. Eggsy saw the same thing and held up his left hand, fiddling with his watch. Drawing my Lex, I swapped my current mag with those of electric rounds. Racking the slide, I caught the ejecting bullet before holding up my pistol and pulling the trigger. There was a resounding crack of the pistol as the electric round hit center mass, causing the man to convulse as his muscled locked up. The phone short circuited as it fell from his grasp as the arcs of electricity danced across his body. After several seconds, the man fell over behind the bar. Holstering my pistol, I nodded at our success.

"Well," I glanced at the two men. "Best we leave before the cops arrive.

My armor faded just as we left the building. We made it about half a block before a sports car came screeching up and a well-dressed man and equally well-dressed woman exited.

"Are you two alright?" the gentleman said frantically.

"Ouch," I said in response. Clearly, I was the least important person here.

"We're fine Merlin," Eggsy dismissed with a smile and a laugh.

"We all know how to handle ourselves here you two," I said. "Don't forget who took that mine for you."

Merlin turned to face me as his worries faded. Silently, he smiled lightly nodded me his thanks. In return for his gratitude, I gave him a thumbs up in return. Turning towards the now Agent Whisky, I tipped my hat at her. The dark skinned girl smiled nervously in return as she avoided eye contact.

"Cally!" Turning my head, I looked down the sidewalk and towards the direction of the voice that called my name. About a block away, I saw a familiar group of high schoolers approaching. Huh, what a coincidence. All of them came running towards myself and the Kings and Statesman.

"Where have you been?" Twilight inquired once she was close enough before looking at the people around me. "And who are they?" Before I could respond, Galahad -the half-blind one- stepped forward.

"Hello, my dear," he greeted with a slight nod and a soft smile. "Your friend and I struck up quite a lovely conversation and I simply had to have him meet my associates here. I do hope you understand?"

Twilight, who was non-the-wiser, seemed to accept the lie. "Well…" She grasped my hand and intertwined her fingers with my own. She still sounded a bit skeptical, but didn't voice it. "He's a talker when he feels like it."

Pecking her on the head, I gently grasped her by the shoulders. "Twilight, I'll catch up with you here in a little while. I just need to talk to them for a little while longer okay?"

Apprehensively, Twilight glanced at my associates before she nodded her head in acceptance. "Okay." Rejoined the rest of the girls, they turned and headed away as I crossed my arms.

"You'll watch after them, won't you?"

Galahad stepped up next to me. "We will."

"Thank you."
