Equestria's Strongest Wizard
Chapter 14: Chapter 14: A Strange Banquet
Previous Chapter Next ChapterLaxus Point of View
We saw the main 6 first and they all looked great. The dresses they were wearing seemed to match them perfectly and If I had to guess, I would say these were the dresses they are going to wear to the gala. Why they brought these dresses here, I'll never know, but if I had to guess, I would say it was Rarity's idea.
The boys broke off from me and went to their respected dates. Which quickly left Pinkie and Twilight by themselves. The guys were blushing up a storm while the girls looked victorious.
"I told you they would like them, dears." Rarity said to the rest of the girls. The guys were mostly unintelligible mumbles at this point.
I looked at Vinyl and saw that even she had dressed up in quite a nice looking dress, but appeared to be Octavia's. It still looked really good on her though.
Zecora looked very uncomfortable in her dress. I'm guessing she wasn't used to being beautified by Rarity.
I looked at Mavis and saw she was wearing her same dress as usual, which makes sense, since no one besides us can see her.....I don't know if she can change clothes, honestly. My eyes made their way to the feline guest of the party, Levy and Neeta. Both looked exceptional and were wearing long black dresses that really complimented their feline figures. Both, seemed very happy and looked amazing. I was right to trust Rarity with them. I looked over at Magic and saw him talking with Cider, who was wearing a light red dress that really complimented her natural colors, she also had her hair done in a different style then usual. It was in an artistic bun. I then turned and looked for duster. When I saw her she was standing next to Luna and both looked amazing. Duster had an amazing white dress on and was looking gorgeous. Luna, however, pulled of this amazing dress that suited her to a T.
And much like her sister, Nightmare Moon was also wearing a dress that really suit her. It was similar to Luna's, but it seemed to be darker in nature and went well with her black colored fur.
I did notice that the two Wonderbolts that were with Soaring earlier were gone, but I knew they didn't like me. So I just figured they weren't coming. After looking over all the girls and their attire for the evening, Luna, Twilight, Duster, Levy and Neeta were all approaching me. All of them were wearing small confident smirks on their faces. Luna was the first to speak.
"You look very handsome tonight, Master." Luna told me.
I smirked. "And yet, I cannot compare to the beauties I see in front of me." I said and they all giggled with a blush. I reached out my elbow towards Luna. "Shall we?" I asked.
"Of course, but I think the other ladies would like to have a chance with you tonight as well." She said as she wrapped her arm around mine.
I looked over to the other girls and smirked. "I believe I may be up for a dance or two." I stated and all of them smiled at me. "Lets go inside. We have kept them waiting long enough don't you think.
We started to make our way to the gates and I saw that the Lion Guard and been replaced by Sunn's guard. Almost all of the guards were either monkeys or gorillas, but all of them looked mean and ready for anything.
The guards looked at us and bowed as we walked by. Not what I was expecting, but to nice to argue about it. We walked inside and we saw a guard that was waiting for me and my group. He motioned us to follow and we did. We walked for awhile and we soon found ourselves in a giant ballroom, except it was very exotic. Drapes were hanging from the ceiling and dancers were hanging from the drapes. Their were gold statues all throughout the room, of an assortment of different animals. However, the music was awful, so I turned to Vinyl and gave her a look. She nodded and went to make it better.

This is what was playing for the longest time, but soon it stopped and another song started to play.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlJAiwwGHMg
This wasn't one of my songs, so I'm assuming Vinyl was mixing this song as it played or she had already done so before we came here. Soon the banquet was much more lively and people were actually dancing or moving to the beat. I then heard Vinyl talking over a loud speaker.
"What's up party people. I am your new DJ for tonight and we will have some special music from another world, so look forward to it!" She announced to the crowd and they cheered.
I smirked at her announcement. She pretty much promised some of my music to be used later on. The girls, besides Luna, decide to look around for a little bit. I looked around the banquet and saw some of the people I had invited. Bagheera, Kong and Kahn were all here, but most seemed busy at the moment. However, Bagheera saw me and started to approach me. I saw him walking my way. Luna and I walked over to greet him.
"It is good to see you Champion." Bagheera said. "I heard that you turned down becoming our king....May I ask why?" He asked me.
"As I told the leaders of the other Kingdoms, I already have duties and responsibilities." I started. "Leaving my guild to become king would make me a disgrace to my predecessors. I would not dishonor them in such a way." I told him.
"You would truly make a noble king. It is a shame you turned down such an offer. Fighting for you would have given my life meaning and made me stronger." He told me.
"Meaning?" Luna asked.
"I don't have a reason to live anymore. My mate was killed by Zetar and much like you, Champion, I to wanted to challenge him to the death. However, I have been informed that he was a demon, so it is likely I would have failed anyway. I cried when I was told that the King was dead and that it was by your hand. I have not cried since she had left this world." He said.
I stared at him. "What was her name?" I asked.
"Layla." He responded.
"That's a lovely name." I looked over and saw Mavis starting to approach. "I know how you feel. Like you I have had to deal with lose. It has not been easy, but I carry on because that is what they would have wanted." I told him.
"I doubt you know what it is like to lose a loved one." He said. "I see no pain in your eyes, no pain on your face or body. No offense Champion, but you appear to be to young to know what real lose is." He stated.
"Would you like to feel my pain?" I asked him.
"And how would you do that....Are you threatening me?" He asked and even Luna looked surprised.
I saw Mavis finally make her way over to us and I knew she had a special type of magic that Meldy used. Sense Link. This magic allows the two wearers to feel what the other is feeling. I looked at her and she seemed confused at first until I explained to Bagheera.
"I have a magic called Sense Link." I started. "You will be able to feel my every emotion that I carry and you will know my pain. Would you like to try it." I asked him. Mavis looked unsure, but was prepared to use the magic if she needed to.
"......Very well Champion. I will test this magic of yours, but I do not expect it to matter much." He said slightly angry. I think it was because he was also thinking about his dead wife.
I nodded and Mavis started the Sense Link. Luna looked very interested in what would transpire. I saw the Link on my wrist and showed it to Bagheera. "This is what it looks like. I will now connect us, but I feel the need to warn you, what I have been through is rough and will hurt. Do you still want to do this?" I asked him. Luna looked concerned that I would say something like that, but understood my warning, if entering my dream was any indication of my life.
He nodded. "Very well." I said and soon the Sense Link had been connected to him and his wrist. He looked at it for a moment, surprised it actually worked and then looked at me. He was expecting it to work right away, but I had become very good at hiding and burring my own emotions. Soon I started to let them flow slowly as I remembered all the pain in my life. How I wasn't strong enough to save my family. How my gramps sacrificed himself for me and how they all died, with me powerless to stop anything. Soon all of the emotions started to flow into Bagheera and Luna was watching on in interest. She was staring at us and then gasped. I looked to her, to see her looking at the Panther. I looked at Bagheera and saw him crying, but not just that, he was holding his chest in great pain. I then released all my emotions and he collapsed on the floor and grabbed his heart and head as he started to cry.
This had gained a lot of attention and soon many of the others that I had invited, came over to investigate. I nodded to Mavis who stopped the magic and looked at me sad, but I just smiled at her. Luna also had worry and concern over all of her features, but I just ignored it and looked to the approaching crowd. Many were looking on confused and with a slight interest.
"What is going on here?!" Kong asked me.
"Bagheera shared with me about his past, so I shared some of mine with him, but I did so through magic. This let him feel every emotion I had and this is what it has reduced him to." I stated and most of the crowd looked shocked. "I did not mean for this to happen." I told them. "We should get him some where else so he can rest." I told the group.
I saw Sunn approaching the seen and he whistled. When he did, some guards came in and took Bagheera out of the room so he could rest. I didn't want to do that, but I wont let anyone make light of the pain I have had to live with. I then saw Sunn studying me.
"It appears you have been through much in your life and I'm sorry that you had to go through such things, but this banquet is in your honor! You should enjoy it and focus on your victory! Not your failures of the past!" He told me with a smile as he put a hand on my back. "Come, Zala and I would like to talk to you." He said.
"May Luna come as well?" I asked.
He nodded. "One of the leaders of Equestria is most welcome!" He told us.
I smiled and looked to Luna, who was still eyeing me cautiously. I started to follow Sunn and Luna followed. We walked around the Banquet until we found Zala, who was surrounded by many other Zebras. Most of them were female and seemed to be fawning over her. She saw us approach and seemed very excited when she looked at me.
"Ah! Laxus! It's great to see you here!" She said. "Are you enjoying the feast?" She asked me.
I nodded. "I am, but I had to change your music. It was very.......uh...." I couldn't think of how to describe it.
"Bland and boring. Yes we know." Zala said. "I'm personally glad you changed it. Your musician is quite good." She told me as she looked at Vinyl. "However, what did she mean music from another world?" She asked me.
"Our master is not from this world." Luna started. The fact that I was Luna's master surprised the two leaders. "As such, he brought music and knowledge from another world entirely." She stated.
"You call him master? Why?" Sunn asked her. "If I'm not mistaken, I thought you two were in love."
"We are." She started. "However, he is the master of our guild and is a sign of experience and respect. That is why we refer to him as such." She said.
"And that business with the panther? What all has happened to you, that would make a seasoned warrior break down like that?" Sunn asked me.
"........" I didn't respond.
Luna saw this and answered for me. "Both of you know that I am able to enter the dreams of our subjects in Equestria, correct?" She asked them and they both nodded. "Well, one night, I stumbled upon a dream of our master......" She paused to see if I would say anything. "The dream struck out and sucked me into it. This had never happened before, but when I entered the dream I realized it was a memory......" Her face became dark and sad. This unnerved Sunn and Zala. "The destruction, carnage, helplessness and fear, all of these things were caused by a single monstrosity. I witnessed a battle that would make others crumble and for a time left me comatose in the hospital." She said, which greatly surprised the leaders. "No such creatures of hate exist here in all of Equis and I doubt even Tartarus has something to compare to some of the monsters our master has seen. However, I only saw a sliver of his life.....I can only imagine what else he must have gone through." She finished as she wrapped her arms around me.
I smiled at this. "It's true. I have seen the greatest depths of despair, but I am doing my best to move forward." I stated.
"Mmh. You certainly are an intriguing one Laxus." Sunn said. "What does your guild do? What is its purpose?" He asked me.
I then explained the point of Fairy Tail and both leaders seemed intrigued by the idea of such a force. I had told them about past jobs and the ranking system within the guild and both seemed shocked when I told them about my power rating on the MPF.
"I'm liking you more and more." Zala told me. "If we wanted to, could we post a contract in Fairy Tail?" She asked.
I nodded. "Fairy Tail is to help the world remain in peace, however, I ask that you rank your contracts accordingly. If you ask for an escort job, please remember that the ponies are herbivores and might find the task a little intimidating." I informed them.
Both nodded. "This has been an enlightening conversation master Laxus." Sunn said. "I will not take anymore of your time. Please enjoy the banquet." He told me.
"I to will be leaving you. I do not wish to take all of your time and besides, I have seen quite a few females eyeing you during this conversation." Zala said.
Luna and I both nodded, while saying our farewells. We turned to return to the party and I heard Vinyl come over the loud speaker again.
"I have just been informed, that Laxus, the champion of the tournament, can sing. Its time to slow down the music and have a little romance. Laxus! Please come up to the stage for your performance!" She shouted.
I chuckled and saw Luna looking at me with bed room eyes. "I didn't know you could sing." She stated.
"That's cause I've never done it in front of anyone besides Mavis. Which, I'm sure is the one who told Vinyl." I said with a chuckle. "Come on. Lets go find her and I owe you a dance anyway." I told her and she smiled.
We walked through the crowd and came upon the set for Vinyl's equipment. I wondered how she got it here, but figured she just used magic. I walked up on stage and Vinyl smiled at me. I looked around and didn't see Mavis anywhere, so I figured she ran so I couldn't say anything to her.
"Do you have a mic that I could hook up wirelessly?" I asked and she nodded. "Good. I would like to use that one." I told her.
She started looking through her equipment. "Why do you want that one?" She asked me.
"I promised a dance with Luna and a few of the other girls." I told her. "This way I can do both at the same time. I also need you to follow the flow of the song." I told her.
"Wait, what?" She asked confused.
"I'm going to sing, but I didn't bring my M-Pod because I didn't think the music would be that bad. Just remember that these are slow songs." I told her and she nodded.
I explained to her the first song and how it started. She then hooked up the mic and I went down to Luna and presented my hand to her.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2WHo5bGRNw
Vinyl started the song, but it surprised me because it was exactly like the original. Maybe I can trigger the music here just by thinking about the song I wanted to sing. That would explain why I almost got caught up in the ponies random singing. Soon I started to sing and it surprised everyone in my guild, but Luna looked super happy even though she was surprised as well. The floor cleared for Luna and I. We moved to the song and she appeared to be the happiest I have seen her. I looked at her as I sang the words and started to lead her around the floor. The entire room was quiet and it seemed as if only Luna was in front of me, but as I continued to look at her while I was singing, the more I seemed to forget about the rest of the room around us. Soon the music picked up and I started to twirl Luna around the floor and her grace really shone through. She was beautiful and seemed to be shining like a star in the sky. The music started to die down and I gently moved her around the floor, almost afraid she would break. I don't remember a time when I was ever so gentle. The song stopped and I looked at Luna in the eyes and she kissed me, which I happily returned. It wasn't a strong passionate kiss, but I could feel the feelings behind it. Soon I started to hear the crowd applauding to our performance. Many of the guild was in shock, except for a few. Rarity was clapping and had tears in her eyes while screaming "Bravo". Nightmare Moon was clapping and looked very happy for her sister. Mavis was hovering above all of them with a small smirk on her face.
I turned to them all and presented Luna to them and bowed for her. She smiled at this and did a small curtsy. "Thank you everyone. Thank you." I said to the crowd. "I will now turn the entertainment back over to Vinyl!" I announced and the crowd immediately deflated. I heard disapproval spread amongst the crowd and many started say encore. I smiled at this and thought of an idea. Maybe I can test the music that randomly happens here. If Vinyl knew exactly what to play, maybe someone else will know the words to sing as well. "Very well! I shall do one more song!" I told them.
Many started to cheer and I looked over at Luna. "May I dance with Twilight?" I asked her. She gave me a playful smirk and nodded. I looked at Twilight, who was starring at me, wondering what I would sing next. I started to walk over to her and she noticed this. She was next to the rest of the mane 6 with some of the boys as well. Many were surprised that I was walking over to them. As I got closer, it appeared like she was mumbling to herself, but it was kinda cute in a way, to see her getting so nervous. I walked in front of her and held out my hand. She smiled sheepishly and took it. Her friends were cheering for her as we left and some were surprised that I had asked her to dance. We made our way back over to Vinyl, so I could set up the next song. I figured she could play the tune again and if Twilight didn't start singing, I could sing the entirety of the song myself. We got in position and I took Twilight in my arms.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DC8FsIdVi9Y
The song started and Twilight instantly started singing, which seemed to surprise her and everyone else present. I smirked and started to move her around the floor. The audience was surprised that I wasn't the one singing, but she was doing a great job so nobody said anything. In fact, many just listened and some even joined us on the floor. I heard many of the mane 6 gasp when Twilight sang "I'm gonna love you, like I'm gonna lose you." which made me smile at her. When they sing a song here, they mean the words behind it most of the time and I'm guessing that most of them knew that she had a crush on me. I could feel the emotion behind her voice and that she meant every word. I could only ponder what it was that I did to earn such an emotion from her. However, I continued to move as softly around the floor and in time with the beat as we took slow steps around the floor.
I startled everyone again, when I started to sing. I wasn't singing in such a high voice, but a smooth voice. Many got over their shock relatively quick and really enjoyed the song. We continued our dance as we looked into each others eyes. The look in her eyes surprised me. It was a look of total trust and I was confused about why she would trust me that much. We have talked and I have trained her, but something else must have happened for me to receive such a look. The song soon came to an end and just like I did for Luna, I held out Twilight and bowed to her. This made her blush profusely and she smiled and ran off awkwardly. I chuckled at her reaction and looked around to see the crowd looking at me expectantly. I sighed and went up towards the stage where Vinyl resided.
"I will perform one more song." I announced and the crowd was very excited. Even Sunn and Zala seemed very interested. "This song is to celebrate the new beginnings of everyone present!" I told the crowd. I figured out that by thinking of a song or starting a beat of a song can make others be randomly pulled into the song. Now I wanted to test to see if the background music would play if I didn't say anything.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUPVo_v49fg
Many were confused by such a slow song, but didn't have a beat to dance to. So most just looked at me while I sang, until a beat started to play from nowhere. It could've been Vinyl, but regardless, I once again surprised the audience and most loved the different type of music. I sang in a different range than the other two songs and ranged from deep to high in pitch for the song. I started to look around as I was singing and saw many of the females in the room looking at me with lust in their eyes. This disturbed me a little bit from the felines, mostly because it looked like they were hungry......but in a different way. I slowly finished the song and the crowd started to applaud and I bowed.
"Thank you ladies and gentlemen, but I must now give the entertainment back to Vinyl. Please give her your appreciation as well, for she helped with the songs as well." I told them and they cheered for her.
I left the stage and went down to the floor and started to wander as Vinyl started some music back up. I looked around and saw both Kong and Kahn approaching me.
"Evening Champion. You seem to be a man of many talents." Kahn told me.
Kong nodded in agreement. "Yes, but I wonder what else you might be capable of." He pondered aloud. He paused for a little bit before he spoke again. "I have come to ask you permission to join your guild." He said as he bowed to me.
This surprised me. Not that he wanted to join, but that he would bow. I saw Kahn start to bow as well.
"I to, would like to learn under your guidance." Kahn said.
I quickly answered. "You need not bow to me. I am the guild master, not master over you." I told them as I patted their shoulders and they stood. "I take it many have been telling you about the guild and it purpose." I stated and both nodded. "Why do you want to join?" I asked them.
Kong stood tall and puffed out his chest. "I want to join because your strength has inspired me. Not only that, but you treat the guild as a family, from what I've been told. I would appreciate the opportunity to become apart of your family and learn your techniques. I also like to help the innocent, just like you from what I've heard from many of the guild members. Your generosity knows no bounds and I would like to serve a man like that." He told me honestly.
I nodded and looked towards Kahn. "I have been told that Zecora came to you after she was visited by Zetar's men and asked for your help. She then told me how you asked her to be apart of the guild right on the spot and declared war on the U.A.K." He stated and Kong look surprised at this. "You would go to war with an entire Empire just to save one of your friends who just joined your guild. I want to serve under a man like that and try to learn how to be like him." He explained to me.
I could tell both were genuine and I looked into their hearts to see what kind of people they are. I smiled when I saw that they were indeed noble souls. I nodded to their explanations. "I understand. However, the guild has many rules, that I expect to be followed. I understand that you will be a little different from the ponies and are warriors, but if you don't except my rules, you cannot join the guild." I told them. "However, I have looked into your hearts to see that you are indeed worthy of being apart of the guild." I said and both smiled. "You can join whenever you like." I stated with a smile.
They both looked at each other with smiles. "Thank you master!" They both told me and I chuckled.
"I'm not your master yet, but you are welcome. Would you like a ride to Equestria or will you make your way over another way?" I asked them.
"I would like a ride." Kong told me.
"As would I." Kahn said.
I nodded. "Very well. My airship is called the Makarov. Please take any possessions or other items that you need to the ship." I informed them.
Both nodded and made their way through the crowd. They seemed very excited and wanted to prepare as soon as possible. I looked around the room again and decided to get some fresh air. I left the room and went out onto one of the many balconies. I crossed my arms and rested them on the stone railing. I then looked over the city and over the sky. I remembered my old companions and what they would've done at a party like this. Natsu would've probably started a fight and everyone else would join in. Thinking of this I couldn't help, but chuckle. I then heard some foot steps from behind me, but I didn't turn to look because I knew it was Duster.
"How are you this evening, Duster? Are you enjoying the banquet?" I asked her.
"......" She was silent for awhile. "Master, are you sad?" She asked me.
"What makes you say that?" I asked her as I continued to look over the railing.
"I heard about the magic you did with Bagheera and why he was put into such a state. I only saw the ending of the demonstration, but is that really how you feel?" She asked me.
I sighed. "Maybe I shouldn't have gone that far, but I wont let anyone mock my pain and what I went through." I told her.
"......." She didn't say anything.
"Yes.....For the longest time, that is how I felt. For the two years I was here and only training, I wanted to end it." I told her and I could feel that she looked at me with concern on her face. "However, Mavis was here with me. If not for her, I might've done something I regretted." I said. "Although, now I feel happy with where I am." I said as I turned around. "If not for the guild and gaining a new purpose......I might not be here today. You girls are helping with that as well. I don't feel as though I deserve such affection...." I said and she looked worried and wanted to say something, but I continued. "However, I will do what I can to earn such pure emotions from you three." I told her and she had a small smile on her face.
She nodded. "You know, you still owe me a dance." She said.
I looked at her and chuckled. "Yes. I suppose that is fair." I said and we walked back inside.
We waited for a slow song and soon Vinyl played one. The two of us took to the floor and we glided across it. I smirked at her.
"You have a very wide range of talents, Duster. Makes me wonder what you did before you joined the guild." I said with playful smirk.
"It appears we have something in common." She told me.
I quirked a brow. "Oh? And what is that?" I asked her.
"Both of us want to know about each others past, but neither of us want to share it." She said with a playful smirk.
I chuckled and we continued the dance, but as we danced, I looked around and noticed another Pegasus was present. She seemed to be giving me a hard glare and I looked her over. She was wearing a blue jump suit with a lightning bolt shooting through it. She had fiery orange hair and her tail matched. She seemed very toned and athletic, but also had very nice assets. I looked back at her head and noticed she had goggles on top of her head. She noticed me studying her and gave me a death glare. I wasn't to surprised so I just shrugged it off and went back to focusing on Duster. The song continued and Duster rested her head on my chest. I smiled at this show of affection and continued to lead her on the floor.
As the song was ending, my vision became hazy and I started to looked around and shake my head to clear it. Soon it appeared I was in a dark room, but had a light directly over me. I looked around and the darkness started to lift. Soon I was able to see more than three feet in front of me and I saw, what appeared to be a wasteland with dark clouds hanging from above and canyons all over the place. It appeared to be very hot and was eerily quiet. I started to walk forward and looked around to see the female pony from my dreams running through the wasteland, but was still being chased by demons. I was startled, but quickly ran towards her to cut off the demons that were chasing her. They were quite far away, but with my speed I was able to catch up rather quickly. I saw that the demons were quite large, but had many small legs that sprouted from the base of their bodies. Each had six legs and massive arms that were holding massive swords. The upper body seemed to tower over their lower halves as they seemed to be all muscle. I jumped into the air and charged my magic preparing to hit the demons as hard as I could. I swung at the demon only to faze through it and turned to see them gaining on the female pony.
I bolted past the demons and tried to get a look at the female pony, but she was hazy. I then tried to reach out and grab her, to help her. Unfortunately, I fazed through her as well and the demons were gaining. Just as one of the demons was about to strike she turned around and delivered a finishing blow to the massive demon. With a burst of magic from her horn, a giant hole was made through the cheat of one of the demons, but this seemed to exhaust the female pony. She fell to one knee and the other demons approached her carefully. She looked up and seemed to be on the verge of collapsing, but the demons still approached. I could only stand by as a demon raised one of its massive swords and prepared to bring it down on her head.
As I watched helplessly as the sword came down, I was surprised when the demon pulled back and roared in pain. I looked at it carefully and saw that its arm had been cut off. I looked around and saw some hazy figures that appeared to be cloaked, start to attack the demons. I watched as the figures eradicated the demons with some difficulty, but it appeared they were injured, so maybe that's why they were having difficulties. Regardless, I was surprised that these people were able to defeat these demons at all. I looked amongst the group and I saw one of the figures go over to offer the female pony a hand to help her. I started to walk over to get a better look, but as I approached them I was startled by loud noise.
"LAXUS!!!!!!!" I heard someone scream.
I inhaled a giant breathe as the scene that was before me, faded into nothing rapidly and I looked around to see me outside of the palace, in some sort of garden. I looked around to see my guild, its new recruits, Neeta, Levy, Sunn and Zala all starring at me curiously. I stumbled as I tried to move and looked upon the group. Many were wearing faces of concern and worry, but others were curious as to what I was doing. I regained my footing and asked the group a question.
"What have I been doing?" I asked quietly.
The group looked around each other, many at a lose of words to say. Luna stepped forward and sighed.
"We don't know. You were dancing with Duster one moment, as the song was coming to an end, but as soon as it was over you looked around confused, like you didn't know where you were." She said.
Duster then spoke up. "After looking around you made a mad dash across the palace and many of us screamed out your name as we followed you, but its like you couldn't hear us." She told me. "You then jumped into the air and charged up some magic and swiped at the air like you were attack something." She explained further.
"Then you looked around surprised and started to run again." Twilight told me. " You then reached out as if to grab something, only to find air and then you stopped suddenly. You appeared to be watching something very intently, but we couldn't get your attention or see what it was. You started to walk off again, but many of us screamed your name and snapped you out of...whatever it was you were doing." She finished.
I looked down in thought and was very disturbed by what had just happened. I looked around and saw Mavis eyeing me carefully, but I couldn't talk to her with the outsiders right there. Nightmare Moon then approached me.
"Are you okay? What happened to you?" She asked me. "Master, you saw something....What did you see?" She stated.
"........." I didn't reply to her as I thought about what had happened. I had many questions and no one to direct them to, so instead, I turned to face the two leaders. "Sunn, Zala, it has been a pleasure, but it appears I am quite tired. Thank you for this lovely evening." I said abruptly, which surprised everyone. "I must return to my hotel room to rest. Please forgive my sudden departure." I said and went over and shook their hands. Both seemed surprised by my sudden departure, but my guild seemed even more so. They were this way because I didn't say anything to anyone as I left and didn't take anyone with me.
As soon as I left the castle grounds, I noticed that a large group of my guild was following me, but I wanted to be alone at the moment. I shot off with my lightning as I bolted across the skies and left the rest of the guild behind. I didn't even want to speak to Mavis at the moment. I continued to hop around with my lightning until I was sure none had followed me and I couldn't feel any of their magic. I was outside of the city, in what appeared to be an oasis. I sighed and went down to the water and sat down a couple feet away from the water line. I thought back to what had happened.....Was this my dream or vision getting stronger, or was it a message to tell me that the female pony was now safe. I was so confused as to what was happening, but I was on alert when I heard the sound of wing beats from behind me. It didn't smell like Luna or anyone else I was well acquainted with, so I turned around on guard for whoever it may be. As I turned I found that it was the female Pegasus from the banquet that was glaring at me. She was still wearing her blue jump suit with the lightning bolt shooting across it. I sat back down and did my best to ignore her.
This seemed to upset her. "Not even going to say hello?" She said in an annoyed tone.
"......." I didn't respond.
"........" She seemed to want to wait out the silence for awhile.
"Why did you run away?" She asked me after she had gotten sick of the quiet.
I sighed. "Why do you care? Why are you even here?" I asked her. "You've been shooting me glares all night and all of a sudden you want to know what's happening...." I said in slight anger and annoyance. "Just leave. You have no business here." I told her.
Instead of leaving she walks up behind me and kicks me in the back and pushes me over into the water. Now I normally don't get mad over such a petty act, but this bitch was pissing me off. I slowly picked myself out of the water and turned to her with my eyebrow twitching from the sheer annoyance of her presence. I looked at her to see her in a fighting position and I scoffed.
"You want to fight me?" I asked surprised. She didn't say anything, but held her stance. I sighed. I didn't really care at this point. "Go ahead." I told her and she raised an eyebrow at this. "I don't care at the moment, but when your done please leave." I told her.
I then spread my arms in a inviting manner for her to strike me. She seemed annoyed that I wasn't taking her seriously, but she took ahold of the opportunity. She rushed at me very quickly, in fact, I would say she was faster than Soarin or Rainbow Dash. While this surprised me, it didn't really matter because I still let her punch me in the face. I took her right hook to the face and didn't even flinch, but she removed her hand and grimaced in pain.
"Are you done?" I asked her bored.
She grunted in anger as she unleashed a flurry of blows upon me. Some did manage to hurt, but I must have done something to piss this girl off because it seemed like she was holding a grudge. She continued to do this for quite sometime, but after a few minutes she began to tire. She had drawn blood from the repeated blows to my face and body, but her hands were also bleeding. She fell to her knees in the sand and was panting heavily as she inspected her hands.
I rubbed my nose and saw that it was bleeding. I sighed as I looked upon the injured woman. "Let me see them." I told her as I ripped off part of my nice clothes. She didn't want to present her hands to me, but I made her forceful by grabbing her hands and started to wrap my ripped clothes around her hands as bandages.
"Are you done?" I asked her as I finished.
She shot me a glare and snorted. "If I could continue I would." She told me.
I then got up and put my thumb to the side of my nose and blew out a large bloody amount of snot. I then sniffed to see if I cleared my nose out. After checking this I went down to the water and started to clean my face. I then looked over my shoulder at her. "So now that your done, can you please leave?" I asked her.
This only seemed to piss her off more. "Do you not care why I did this?! What is wrong with you?!" She shouted at me.
"I don't even know you and I doubt that I have hurt you directly." I stated bored. "I'm guessing your upset with me over something trivial and no doubt make me out to be some sort of villain." I told her as I started to approach her. When I was right in front of her, I leaned down so I was face to face with her. "Am I right?" I asked.
"........" She didn't respond.
"That's what I thought." I told her. "I don't care about your issues because believe it or not, I have my own concerns right now so I don't care what you think at the moment." I said. "But, if you ever want to come by my guild and talk to me, in a calm manner, then I will be willing to talk." I explained.
She spat at me. "I will never come by that god forsaken building. Nothing there, but you brainwashing our people and turning them into your slaves." She said with disdain.
Well now I knew why she didn't like me. I sighed. "You are young." I told her in a belittling tone and patted her head to annoy her. "You can still learn. Feel free to come by and challenge me whenever, but just remember...." I paused as I looked her in the eye. "If you ever hurt any of my guild members because of this stupid idea in your head, then I will return that pain." I told her as I moved my face closer and closer. "Remember that." I finished.
I figured she wasn't going to leave, so I decided to return to the hotel. However, as I was leaving she shouted at me.
"MY NAME IS SPITFIRE AND I WILL STOP YOU!" She screamed at me.
This surprised me. She was the captain of the Wonderbolts and Soarin's superior. I turned to face her and walked over to her again with a smile on my face. She looked angry and upset that I was smiling.
"Thank you for coming as extra security." I told her and she looked at me surprised.
I didn't wait for her to respond as I shot off with my lightning. I headed for the city and hotel, but was upset that I wasn't able to think on what had occurred earlier today. Half way to the hotel, I didn't feel like returning and decided to return to the Makarov, for some peace and quiet. I boarded the ship which surprised the thestrals that were out and waved at them. Many saluted back, but I just continued on to my cabin and locked myself in. I then focused on the vision and tried to remember what I saw, but was confused why the figures were all fuzzy. The more I thought about it, the more it infuriated me. I laid down in my bed and fell asleep, hoping that the visions would become clearer.
Next Chapter: Chapter 15: Questions, Questions and Trollestia Estimated time remaining: 3 Hours, 35 MinutesAuthor's Notes:
I have been receiving PM's from many of you asking me to add other members from Fairy Tail into the story. I would like everyone to remain patient as I have a plan of how the story will go. I have a page and list that have ideas on it, to help me further the story. So please stick with me through the story until I am ready to introduce other characters. I have also been asked to make Laxus's herd into a harem. I am still unsure of what I will do, but I can tell all of you that I am considering all input into the story as best I can. Many of you have given me great input and ideas that will help me later on. Once again, thanks for reading and let me know if their is anything I can do to improve the story.
P.S. I have officially been hired for a warehouse position, so chapters may not be coming out as quick as they have been, but I will continue to write.
P.S.S. I am sorry if the songs were to slow or fast for the amount of script written.
