Liberation pt. 1

I walked the streets of Ponyville heading towards Rarity's boutique. Rarity invited me over to talk about something that was coming up that she wanted me to attend with her. I arrived at the fashion store and opened the door. The bell rang off as I closed the door. I walked forward and in came Rarity with her red glasses over her nose and a measuring tape around her neck. She smiled when she saw me. I smiled at her and walked up and kissed her.

"Thanks for coming over, darling." Said Rarity

"Hey, I wouldn't miss coming over to see you," I said

"Oh I know, darling. Now let's go up to my room." Said Rarity

Rarity walked up and locked her shop before heading up the stairs to her room with me following. She opened the door, and we went inside. I found Rarity's room to be quite beautiful. I have never been in Rarity's room the whole time she joined the harem. The room had a nice queen size bed that looked like it came out of a castle. Across from the bed was a table with sewing equipment and boards with fashion designs. Against the wall where the window sat was plenty of rolls of fabric. I sat down on her bed and watched as she folded up her glasses and placed them on the table and then her measuring tape.

"So what's up, Rarity?" I asked

"Well, you see I've been thinking about when I want to make love to you finally." Said Rarity

"Alright, when do you want me to pop you?" I asked

"In a month." She said

"A month," I said

"Yes, darling, one month from now." Said Rarity

"Can you tell me why you want to wait so long. I don't mind, but it just seems strange," I said

"Well, in that time I'll be attending a fashion show in Manehattan. You see, I'm allowed to bring one guest with me. So I thought it would be an excellent time to hang out. Plus it will just be you and me. So how about it darling?" Said Rarity

"I've never been much into fashion, but if you want me to come, then I can't say no," I said

"I'm glad, but now time for something to make sure you go with me." Said Rarity

I raised my eyebrow until I watched her reach down and start to unbuckle her pants. She slowly lowered them down her legs making me blush. Once they reached the floor, she stepped out showing her red lace panties. She walked over to me with a raise in her hips. She got close to me and removed my coat and then took off my shirt before bringing me into a kiss. Her tongue licked my lips telling me she wanted to enter my mouth. I opened up to allow our tongues to dance together. I found it interesting that her tongue could dance elegantly with mine.

Her hands happily moved across my bare chest, touching every ounce of muscle. My hands moved down and rubbed her soft, beautiful legs. I held her close to me as we pushed ourselves onto her bed. Our lips still connected in our passionate kiss. Our tongues still dancing together. Soon we finally broke as we needed to breathe. Soon Rarity started to grab the ends of her shirt. I smiled as she pulled her shirt away. She tossed it away showing her off her red lace bra. I examined how it looked on her as she returned to her kiss as I ran my hands across her stomach. Her stomach was soft to my touch. I then moved my hands to her back and began to move them up her spin. Shivers went down her spine as I traveled my hands up her spine. I then reached the hook on her bra, the one item blocking me from exposing her beautiful breasts to me.

"Go ahead darling take it off." Said Rarity

She whispered her words to me into my ear. Her hot breath was sending shivers of pleasure down my spine. She gave my ear a gentle lick to push me to do it. So I decided to go for it. But as I about to toss off the bra when we both felt something was off. We looked at each other and seemed to be shining in a golden glow. We had looked at each other before we disappeared in a flash of white. When we came out, we were in the library surrounded by my harem, Pinkie, Rainbow, Flame, Natasha, and Celestia.

Everypony and Natasha and Flame looked at us. I didn't feel strange because I just had my shirt off, but Rarity had nothing more than her bra and panties, which her bra was about to come off. She just blushed as did the others. I guess they didn't expect this. I looked to see Flame half drooling at Rarity with his four tails moving back and forth. No doubt he was storing the image for later use. Soon enough Rarity screamed at all them in a high pitch voice.

"WHAT THE BUCK!" Screamed Rarity

Everypony in the room placed their ears on their heads at the sound. It even snapped Flame who held his ears in place. But that didn't last long as her screaming cause me to drop her bra. Now everypony had a clear view of Rarity's tits. I have to say. She had a nice pair on her. Flame went into turbo blushing up like crazy while wagging his tails. He was drooling even more. Rarity then again screamed in her still high pitched voice.

"STOP STARING!!" She screamed

Everypony again closed their ears before turning away giving for Rarity and me to get up from the ground. Rarity floated over her bra and placed it on her and hid behind me to stop anymore stares coming her way. I could see Flame was still out of it. He was just drooling with his tails moving back and forth in a pleasant manner. I could see Celestia was still blushing as she looked at me. Her eyes were traveling soaking every inch of my muscles. Natasha also seemed to enjoy the site of my muscular upper body.

"Twilight darling would you mind teleporting in my clothing from my room." Said Rarity

Twilight's horn came to life and in came Rarity's black pants and red shirt. Twilight also brought in my stuff that was in Rarity's room. We both got dressed, and I could see Celestia's expression change to sadness as I got completely covered. Rarity got away from behind me as she now had all her clothing on her again but then looked down at Flame. He was still in his dazed look. Rainbow was shaking her hands over his face.

"Um, is he ok." Said Rainbow

"Yeah," I said

I walked up and snapped my fingers, and he snapped out of it. He shook his head and looked at me before Rarity. He wiped up his drool.

"You ok, brother," I said

"Yeah, thanks for snapping me out of that." Said Flame

He hopped up my leg and sat on my shoulder as I looked at Celestia who still have a slight blush on her cheeks.

"Can somepony tell me why Xavier and I appeared in the library." Said Rarity

Celestia finally spoke up as Rarity looked at her. She cleared her throat and spoke up.

"I'm sorry for bringing you both here at the wrong time. But I had to get Xavier here to talk to him as this concerns him and those who call him friend and lover." Said Celestia

"What's up Celestia?" I asked

"Yes because whatever it is was important that we get teleported instead of sending a letter or anypony else." Said Rarity

"Again I'm sorry Rarity." Said Celestia

"Rarity calm down, Celestia didn't know what we were doing," I said

"Thank you, Xavier." Said Celestia

"Fine, I'll calm down, but just for you darling." Said Rarity

"Now what's up Celestia?" I asked

"Yes, you see I need all of you to be witnesses to Xavier." Said Celestia

"Witnesses." Said Twilight

"Wait, I'm going to court," I said

"No, you're not going to court Xavier. If that were true, I would tell you to get a lawyer first." Said Celestia

"So if it's not for any court reasons then why?" Asked Flame

"Because of the Griffon Empire." Said Celestia

"Griffon Empire," I said

"Yes you see, the Griffon Empire and Equestria have a tame relationship with each other. But the only thing keeping that gentle relationship is a single peace treaty keeping our nations from attacking each other." Said Celestia

"But why?" Asked Natasha

"It has to do with the death of your parents, right Celestia," I said

"How did you learn about that?" Asked Celestia

"Twilight told it to me when we visited the castle," I said

"I see, and yes it is because of the period where my parents and King Black Wing, King of the Griffons at that time, all died. The Griffons blame Equestria for the slaughter of their king. But even though time has passed, the Griffons still blame us and won't stop until they get an answer. I would also like one as well and end this stupid feud. But even after all this time, I don't have a reply at all." Said Celestia

"Man talk about holding a grudge." Said Flame

"Yes, but the reason I'm here is that of a clause in our peace treaty. It's a simple one that I have used many times. You see if either side feels that the other side has a weapon that can be used to defeat the other side. They are allowed to inspect it and find out if they do have a weapon. If one side discovers such a weapon, then the side with the weapon must destroy it." Said Celestia

"Wait, destroy and if they believe Xavier is a weapon. Then...then...you'll have to kill him." Said Fluttershy

"Sadly yes, if the Griffon they sent over finds Xavier is a weapon that my sister and I can use to defeat the Griffon Empire, they will require me to put down Xavier. I'm sorry, Xavier." Said Celestia

"But why does the Griffon Empire see me as a threat?" I asked

"They've heard of your adventures here in Equestria. They also know you are carrying two of the twelve Crystal Shard Dragons." Said Celestia

"Well, considering what I've seen Meteor and Icicle can do, I would say I would feel threatened as well," I said

"Yeah, but you wouldn't use their powers for the wrong reasons, Xavier." Said Flame

"Yes everypony you've saved knows that, but to the Griffon's, you are a threat to them." Said Celestia

"So you want us to speak on Xavier's behalf about how he's amazing." Said Rainbow

"Yes, you will each talk on behalf of Xavier." Said Celestia

"Wait, don't I get to talk," I said

"Well, Xavier typically the clause is used for no living weapons. So such items can't speak for themselves. So you can't speak for yourself." Said Celestia

"No worries Xavier as our harem stallion. We won't let you down." Said Twilight

"Yeah partner, we've got you back" Said Applejack

"Well, thanks, girls. But Celestia who's the Griffon that came to see me?" I said

"The commander of the Griffon Empire, Commander Gruff." Said Celestia

"Commander Gruff, man they sure went all out." Said Twilight

"Why's that?" I asked

"Commander Gruff is the leading general of all Griffons. He's lead them into my battles between the Griffon Empire's enemies. A tactical leader that's right up with my brother. The Griffons must think you're a threat to them, if they sent Gruff to investigate you, Xavier." Said Twilight

"Yes, so are you ready to meet him, Xavier." Said Celestia

"Wait, what about Moon?" I asked

"No worries, she's going to stay with Apple Bloom at Sweet Apple Acers. She did ask to sleep over with Apple Bloom a few nights ago." Said Twilight

"I just want to make sure she doesn't come to an empty and locked library. She is a sensitive filly after all," I said

"I know that, and you don't need to worry as I got it already covered." Said Twilight

"Well then, I guess we can go," I said

"Then hold on everypony for here we go." Said Celestia

Celestia's horn began to glow a golden color before it covered us all. Then in a flash of white, we were gone.

***

We came out of the white as we appeared in the throne room. I blinked my eyes to adjust them back to normal. I soon heard the sound of hooves and saw Fang coming up to us.

"Glad to see your back princess with Xavier." Said Fang

"Anything new Blood Fang." Said Celestia

"No, he just finished breakfast. He's coming here right now." Said Fang

"Well, then here we go." Said Celestia

"Hey Fang," I said

"Hi Xavier, glad to see you again." Said Fang

Fang then looked at Twilight before running up and hugging her. I forgot the last time Fang saw Twilight was after her rape. They held the hug for a little while.

"Glad to see your back to your usual self, Twilight." Said Fang

"Yeah, I'm glad to be back. But I'm still not at the magical level before Calvin raped me, but I'm getting there." Said Twilight

"I'm just glad to see your smiling face again." Said Fang

Soon the doors of the throne room opened and in came two Griffons. Both had silver armor you would see on a knight from old England. They kept their heads covered by a helmet, the only thing you could see was a yellow bird beak on both of them. They came in holding a long spear and a sword on their hips. In the middle on the armor was a Griffon claw with money spilling over it. Then in came another Griffon but in black armor. The only thing not covered was his head. The central symbol was still the same. The Griffon had a head of brown feathers with scarlet eyes. The Griffon also had a yellow bird beak with plenty of scratches and scars over it. Then behind the Griffon were two females.

They were a strange cat-like creature with wings and a fox. The cat had an olive coat with gray ears and a gray spot over her right eye. Gray stripes ran down her arms and legs. The gray also spiraled around her tail. She had snow white paws that looked fluffy and soft. She had emerald eyes with cat pupils in them. She stood at the size of a mare. I then turned to the fox. She had a scarlet red fur with a white tip on the end of her tail. She also had a patch of white over her left eye and on her muzzle. She had sapphire eyes. She also had bandages around her feet, which made her walk on her toes. It gave her a few inches over the cat. The cat had about a B-cup on her, and the Fox had about a D-cup on her. They both wore maid uniforms.

"Twilight, what are the cat and fox?" I asked

"The cat is called a Sphinx they come from Sphinxa, the empire of the Sphinxes. They hate ponies and zebras. They don't leave the desert where they live, so we don't fear an all out war with them. The fox, well is a fox, which comes from Fopan. They are neutral to us and other nations. They usually seek to trade than fight. But the Emporer of Fopan will gladly hire out his assassins to any country willing to pay for them." Said Twilight

Interesting, but why are they following around that Griffon. As the two girls got closer in view, I could see they had a collar around each of their necks. What's with the collars? I could feel I wasn't going to like this Griffon as I had an idea why the two females were wearing those collars. A goal that made my stomach twist into knots of how disgusting it was.

Celestia walked forward and started to speak to the Griffon in the black knight's armor.

"Gruff, I'm glad to see you're awake. I hope the room was to your liking." Said Celestia

"Yes, it was nice. Now have you brought this Xavier with you." Said Gruff

"Yes." Celestia motioned me forward. "Gruff this is Xavier Young." Celestia pointed at me.

Gruff looked me over and then began to laugh. It was creepy to hear him laugh. It felt nothing like a hearty chuckle Pinkie gets out of us. It was more like a serial killer's chuckle. He stopped as he looked at me again. I could tell his eyes were dull of life. It was a side effect of war, as my mother had the same eyes at times. But looking at them said his soul was dark, and he only cared about himself and his agenda. Something tells me I'm not going to like this bird.

"The great weapon of Equestria is a monkey. Ha, this is too good." Said Gruff

"Monkey," I said

"Yes monkey, a worthless monkey. Well, this is going to be easy. Now, Celestia, I suppose you told the monkey the rules in terms he can understand." Said Gruff

I started to growl at Gruff. He laughed as he heard me. Well, I guess it's true, I'm not going to like this bird. He looked down at me and smiled as I just glared at him. Celestia cleared her throat to get everyponies attention.

"Yes Gruff and I will advise you that you respect Xavier while you are here in my country." Said Celestia

"Yeah and make fun of our harem stallion again, and you'll deal with us." Said Twilight

"Ya got that right." Said Applejack

Gruff looked at the girls behind me and started to laugh again.

"Oh this is too good, the monkey found love. What did he do to get you, girls, wave a banana around in your faces? I've always heard mares of Equestria do crazy when they see one." Said Gruff

"Hey," Gruff looked at me. "You can call me anything you want. But nopony or Griffon makes fun of my harem."

"Whatever, only horny mares would follow you." Said Gruff

I clenched my fists as I didn't like Gruff at all. But Celestia stopped me by placing her hand on my shoulder. She then spoke up.

"Enough Gruff." Said Celestia

"Fine, I bet you have your witnesses ready." Said Gruff

"Yes, we'll use the meeting room for your interviews." Said Celestia

"Alright, we'll begin in one hours time." Said Gruff

He turned around and walked away. I watched as the two Griffon Knights left with him and the two maids. I sighed when it was finally over.

"I'm sorry for Gruff's nature. He has no care for anything that isn't his soldiers or a Griffon." Said Celestia

"I'll say, I wanted to slap him for saying the only reason we're in love with Xavier because we're horny mares." Said Rarity

"Yes, but please deal with him for the time being. Now, I think we should get ready for the interviews. I also should show you where your rooms are." Said Celestia

We all nodded, and we walked out of the throne room as we followed Celestia.

***

"Why do we have to keep Flame?" Asked Rarity

After leaving the throne room, Celestia showed each of our rooms. Pinkie and Natasha got a room together, and Rainbow got her own. But Flame was staying with my harem. Not something Rarity wanted as he did see her half naked.

"We're just going to be here for a few days," I said

I was laying the bed with Applejack curled up on my chest. Barb was in the shower as she didn't get on this morning because of Celestia. Twilight was on the couch running over some papers, stuff she was going to talk about when Gruff interviewed her. Fluttershy was also on the sofa stroking Flame's head as he laid on her lap. Rarity was just sitting on the bed next to me.

"But still, I don't like him in this room." Said Rarity

"None of you girls don't need to worry about me. I'm not interested in ponies." Said Flame

"You didn't seem like that when you saw my naked body and don't lie. I saw your drooling face." Said Rarity

"Fine, I did go crazy at your naked body Rarity. But what guy wouldn't with your breasts and hourglass body." Said Flame

"Look Rarity. Flame will keep himself under control. We just can't act like we normally do," I said

"I guess." Said Rarity

I smiled as I gestured her over and laid down next to me. I snuggled her close to me. I kissed her on the lips as held her close.

Soon Barb came out with a towel around her. She was rubbing her spines dry. But something seemed to be on her mind as she was drying herself off and it wasn't Flame who was getting a belly rub from Fluttershy and purring as loud as he could.

"Barb, you ok," I said

"Oh yeah, I was thinking about that female Sphinx and female fox." Said Barb

"What's that, Barb?" Asked Twilight

"The collars around their necks." Said Barb

"Yeah, I was wondering about those as well," I said

Twilight seemed to know the answer and sighed before placing down her papers. All the girls looked at her as she got ready to speak. Fluttershy was still giving Flame a belly rub, which was causing him to go dazed. Soon Twilight spoke.

"Those collars are slave collars." Said Twilight

"Slave collars," I said

"Wait, your world has slavery," said Flame snapping out of his dazed look.

"Sadly yes, areas of Eques have slaves. Even Equestria had gone through a dark phase of slavery before we got ourselves straight, another reason the bats don't like ponies. But even though we changed our ways, other nations of Eques still believe in slavery. The Griffons don't practice slavery, but I know for a fact that high ranking military Griffons like Gruff, have all had slaves at one point." Said Twilight

"Disgusting to think anypony believes you have the right over another creature." Said Rarity

"Xavier did humans ever have slavery. I don't remember you talking about it when you first came to Equestria." Said Twilight

"Yeah, my country once had slavery. In the southern portion of the America indulged in slavery, while the northern part didn't. So it caused a fight among our people. It then caused the bloody Civil War. In the end, we outlawed slavery, but that doesn't mean it left my world. Other countries around the world don't have slavery, but there are a few that do it," I said

"So you fell in a Civil War, I guess we got lucky that the queen came in before we fell into the same path." Said Twilight

I found that surprising to hear that Equestria a place of peace and friendship was about at one point to go into a Civil War. Soon the door opened, and Fang came into the room.

"Hey, Fang, what's up?" I asked

"Just came by to get your girls and brother." Said Fang

"Well, I guess you girls are up," I said

"I suppose we are." Said Applejack

"Darn, I was just getting comfortable snuggling with Xavier." Said Rarity

"No worries, you'll have plenty of time tonight," I said

I kissed Rarity as Barb quickly ran back into the bathroom and got changed. Then each of my girls kissed me, and Flame rode on Fluttershy's shoulder. They exited the room leaving me alone. It felt strange to be alone. I never was alone in Ponyville as my harem mates were always around me. So it felt strange to be alone in a room. I sat there a minute before I decided I didn't like it. I got up and decided to go to the kitchen.

***

I entered the kitchen after getting lost once. I swear, how could anypony ever memorize this castle. I walked around looking for the entrance to the kitchen and stopped when I heard some yelling. I decided to check it out and watched as the Griffon soldiers that were with Gruff were yelling at the female sphinx and female fox. I watched as one Griffons picked up a plate of food and threw into the female sphinx's face. They both laughed before walking away. I growled as I walked forward as the female fox helped the female Sphinx. I grabbed a napkin and gave it to the Sphinx.

"Here," I said

The female Sphinx looked up at me and took the napkin from my hand. I stood by and watched her clean herself off. She then got up and smiled at me.

"Thank you." She said

"No problem, I couldn't sit by and not help you out," I said

"You're sweet." Said the Sphinx

"Thanks, the names Xavier, Xavier Young," I said

"The names White Claw and this is my sister Chi." Said White Claw

"Sister," I said

"Yes, we consider ourselves sisters. Do you have something wrong with that?" Said Chi

"No, I don't mind. I happen to have a brother who is a cat," I said

"A cat." Said White

"Well, he's a Fable Cat," I said

I then heard a growling sound and saw White and Chi grab their stomachs.

"You two hungry," I said

"Yes, we haven't eaten since breakfast." Said White

"Yeah." Said Chi

"Wait, you haven't eaten since breakfast?" I asked

"You see, Gruff just feeds us enough to live. He doesn't care if we miss a meal, he only cares if we finish the work he gives us." Said Chi

"Those soldiers were supposed to feed us lunch, but after I had failed their meal, they weren't going to feed us. I'm sorry Chi. But I know I did everything right. I always do everything right, but it never seems to work out in the end." Said White

"No worries White Claw. You did everything right. They were never going to feed us anyway. Those Griffons don't care if we eat or starve." Said Chi

I clenched my fist at my anger at Gruff. But I sighed as holding anger wasn't going to help anypony. But I could see they were starving. I looked back at the kitchen. I smiled as I looked back at the two slave girls.

"You two find a table, and I'll be back soon with something I think you'll enjoy," I said

***

After about thirty minutes of cooking in the kitchen and dealing with pony chefs, who didn't like me messing with their kitchen. I finished my meal. I poured out three bowls of it and walked out of the kitchen to see Chi and White Claw sitting at a table. I set down the tray I was using and placed a bowl in front of each of them. They looked at it and then at me as I place down spoons for each of them and crackers. I then sat down myself.

"What is this?" Asked Chi

"Chili," I said

They both looked at me before looking down at the bowls of chili. Chi seemed to be suspicious about it. But White Claw, on the other hand, was already digging into hers. She was eating it like the bowl would disappear. Chi then moved to her bowl and started to eat before I could see her eyes widen and did the same thing as White Claw was doing. I guess I still can cook mom's old homestyle chili. I enjoyed my bowl but stopped when White poked me.

"Um, could Chi and I have another bowl." Said White

"Sure," I said

I walked back where I left the pot of chili and poured two new bowls before coming back. Chi and White took the bowls and seemed to slow down to enjoy the chili. We went back to eating, and after two bowls for me and three bowls for them, we finished the pot. I was happy I made a large pot of chili.

"That was filling." Said White

"I'm glad," I said

"Yes, thank you. White Claw and I haven't had a meal like that ever." Said Chi

"I'm happy you enjoyed. But I have to ask, how long have you been slaves to Gruff?" I said

"Oh, well, for the past ten years. I came into Gruff's position when I was ten." Said White Claw

"I was ten as well when my parents sold me to Gruff." Said Chi

"Wait, your parents sold you to Gruff," I said

"Yes, you see in my country there is a prophecy that states that a child of my father, who is the Emperor, will bring down his family line. The prophecy names it as the nine tail devil fox, which I happen to be." Said Chi

"Nine tail devil fox, but I only see one tail," I said

Chi got up and turned for me to see her tail, and in amazement, her tail split from one to nine tails with each having a white tip. It then went back to one tail again. I blinked as Chi sat down.

"Ok, that was interesting," I said

"I thought so at the same time, but when my father found out, he disowned me. He placed me into service of my family. When I was ten, Gruff came looking to trade some supplies, and my father gave me away in a trade agreement. I meet White Claw at that time. For the last ten years, I have been Gruff's slave with no freedom in sight." Said Chi

"Ok, so what about you, White Claw. How did you get stuck as a slave?" I said

"Touch my paw," said White Claw extending a paw to me.

I raised my eyebrow but decided to do it anyway. I ran my hands across the soft white fur of White Claw's paw. Her paw was incredibly soft to the touch. But for a cat, she was missing something. She was missing her claws.

"Where are your claws?" I asked

White Claw looked at her paw before speaking, "I was born without them. You see I'm the princess of Sphinxa, but when I was born without my claws that life disappeared. In Sphinx culture, if a female is born without claws, they are seen as nothing, so forth, they become slaves to other Sphinxes or in my case, a slave to my family. I became Gruff's slave when the Griffons came down. The Griffons and Sphinx are allies, and so forth, as a gift of their friendship against common enemies being the zebras of Zebrica and ponies of Equestria, my family gave me to Gruff." Said White Claw

I couldn't believe that White Claw was a princess, but because she didn't have a pair of claws meant she was a slave. It completely disgusted me that two families would turn their daughters into slavery because of a prophecy and no claws.

"I'm sorry you both went through all of that," I said

"Well, thank you for that. But we've learned to accept that this is our life." Said White Claw

"NO!" I surprised both girls. "No one should accept life as a slave. It just isn't right. It disgusts me to no point."

"You now Xavier Young, you are the first creature in our time as being slaves to Gruff or even to our families to bring up that idea. You are the first to speak out against us being a slave. That means a lot to us. We usually see creatures who want to talk out, but keep their voice done because of Gruff." Said Chi

"Screw Gruff, he thinks he's all high and mighty because he's a military commander. Trust me when I say, I not afraid of a windbag like Gruff," I said

"Ha, yeah Gruff can be a windbag. But you can't do anything for us as long as we wear these collars." White gestured to her collar. "They make sure that we obey Gruff."

"But how?" I asked

"They emit an electrical shock to us. It's excruciating. If we try to take the collar off or tamper with it, then we get shocked. If we try to run, we get shocked. So unless you can get the keys from Gruff, we will forever be his slaves." Said White

"Then you listen to me," they both looked at me. "I promise you, that when Gruff leaves Equestria, you will be free of him, and when I make a promise, I keep it, no matter how hard it is."

I saw White Claw and Chi smile before White Claw got up and hugged me. I felt her purr into my chest, and soon Chi joined me. I smiled as I rubbed both their backs. Soon a clock started to ring off. They told me they had to get going before Gruff got back to his room. I had hugged each one more time before they left me. I waved goodbye as they left. Then I was alone again with a seething anger. I have to find a way to free them. I can't them go back to the Griffon Empire as slaves. But I have no idea where to start. But I know where I can start. I gathered up and cleaned the dishes and headed off to the library.

***

"Xavier, time to wake up, Xavier."

I slowly opened my eyes and looked around to see I was laying on an open book. I blinked my eyes and stretched out my body and turned to see Twilight. She had a smile on her face. I yawned as I looked at her.

"Hi, Twilight. Man, what time is it?" I said

"Seven p.m.. The girls and I were looking for you so we could get some dinner. I asked a guard if he saw you and told me you went to the library. So what were you doing in here?" Said Twilight

"Oh, I was doing some research," I said

"Research, research on what?" Asked Twilight

"I was trying to figure out a way to free White Claw and Chi," I said

"White Claw and Chi." Said Twilight

"Oh right, they are the female Sphinx and female fox. I spent time with them today while all of you were off getting interviewed by Gruff. By the way, how was that?" I said

"I hated it. Gruff was trying to get us to speak ill of you. He tried every trick in the book to get us to speak ill of you. But I didn't fall for it and same as the others." Said Twilight

"Glad, which means I won't be seeing my maker just yet," I said

"Yeah, so you spent the whole day looking through books to find a way to get White Claw and Chi out of slavery." Said Twilight

"Well, after I had lunch. But I didn't find a single thing useful to use. I guess I fell asleep," I said

Twilight used her magic to levitate the books up and put them away. I then grabbed a book I hadn't opened yet. I looked over the cover. It read, 'Griffon Standards.' Hm, I wonder if this will hold any answers. I opened the book and scanned the table of contents. I found something called Slave Trading. Ok, let's see what we got here. I flipped to the chapter and started to scan it. I then landed on something. Twilight could see my eyes scanning the words of the page.

"Find something." She said

"I might have, it says here that Griffons can challenge other Griffons for their slaves. It's called a Slave Trade Battle. The winner gets the slaves and all rights to do what they want with them. I think I found the answer Twilight," I said

Twilight took the book and scanned the page. I then saw her eyes widened. I knew what she saw the part I left out.

"Xavier you can't take Gruff on in a Slave Trade Battle. It's a death match. You'll have to kill Gruff, and that would break your oath." Said Twilight

"Twilight it also says if one side can also forfeit the match for a win. So all I would have to do is make Gruff forfeit the Slave Trade Battle," I said

"But what are you going to wager that would be the same as two slave girls? I hope you aren't planning on putting up your harem mates up for slavery." Said Twilight

"Twilight I wouldn't do that to you or the girls. I'm planning on putting something up no Griffon would resist," I said

"Then what?" Asked Twilight

I showed off the Crystal Shard Dragons.

"Xavier are you crazy." Said Xavier

"I know it's a risk, Twilight. But I have to do this. I can't go on with my life knowing those two are still slaves. After spending so much time with them, I couldn't live if I didn't try to beat Gruff. So even if it is risky, I'll take that risk," I said

I looked back at Twilight to see her worried face. I turned around and hugged her. She returned it. I could tell she didn't want me to do it. I could expect that from her with everything that I've been through since coming here to Equestria. I ran my hand through her hair as I settled her down.

"Xavier, I don't want to see you in the hospital again. I can't take seeing you lying in a hospital bed. I just can't stand it." Said Twilight

I stroked her mane and held her close to me. I knew my life mission as the Fabled Warrior was a dangerous one as I took on beings stronger than me. But this was my destiny, and I knew it. I couldn't forget everything my mother taught me. Being a hero is my destiny, and I was going to follow through with it until the day I pass from this world and meet my maker.

"Xavier," I looked down at her as she looked up at me. Our eyes locked onto each other. "Promise me you won't end up in the morgue. Promise me you'll beat Gruff and be in bed cuddling the harem." Said Twilight

"I promise Twilight," I said

We came into a gentle kiss before breaking off and heading towards the dining hall with her head lying on my shoulder.

***

We were walking towards the dining room when I heard running and saw White Claw with Chi running towards me with the two Griffon soldiers behind them. Soon White tripped and fell, and Chi turned to see her. Soon both Griffons were on them. One held Chi to the wall, and the other began to tear White's maid uniform. That's it, no more holding back! I used my light speed and gripped my right hand tight. Soon I struck the Griffon in the chest. Using my Fable Powers, I was able to protect my fist from the impact with the steel armor. The Griffon vomited up blood from his beak with how much force I was using. You see emotions like anger can increase my powers to new heights. Soon I released the attack, and we went barreling into the wall at the end of the hall.

I stood over White Claw and turned my head to the shivering Griffon. I couldn't see his eyes, but I could tell he was shaking as he looked at my hate filled eyes.

"Leave her alone or else," I said

The Griffon let go of Chi, and she fell to the ground as the Griffon zipped by me. I watched him gather the other Griffon soldier and left. I then turned to White Claw who was on the floor with tears in her eyes covering her body. I gave her my hand as I looked down at her. My eyes didn't show as much hate as it did with that Griffon. I helped White Claw up before she lunged at me and started to cry. She cried into my shirt, and I stroked her head as I calmed her down. Chi came walking up with Twilight. I stripped my coat and placed it over her.

"You ok," I said

"Yes because of you." Said White

"What did I witness?" Asked Twilight

"One of the guards saw us talking with Xavier and told Gruff. We were doing work on his ship, and when we returned to his room, he said that he didn't like that we didn't follow his rules he set for us. He then ordered his guards they could have fun with us. So you can guess what else we do as slaves." Said Chi

"Dear Faust, your sex slaves." Said Twilight

"Sex slaves is just a part of being his slave. Thank you, Xavier, if you hadn't stepped in, they would have raped us." Said Chi

"No problem, I couldn't stand by and watch," I said

"Please Xavier, please tell us you found a way to free us. I can't take this life anymore. Please, I want to be free." Said White

"Please, we both want to be free." Said Chi

She leaned her head on me and started to cry. I stroked both of them to calm them down. I didn't care what punishment I would get out of this battle. It was worth it. I looked over to Twilight who looked at me. She nodded, and I knew that was to tell me to go ahead. I nodded to her, but then White Claw and Chi started to scream. I saw the collars were shocking them.

"Such naughty slaves."

I turned to see Gruff with a pissed off look on his face. His finger was pressing a switch on a remote. Next to him was the Griffon that I let go. I didn't see the Griffon I bashed, but I didn't care. Soon he released the button.

"You two should know the rules by now. You are my slaves, and when you break the rules, you get punished." Said Gruff

"Please Gruff, mercy." Said White Claw

"No." Said Gruff

He pressed the button, and again White Claw and Chi screamed as volts of electric went through both of them. Twilight just covered her mouth at the level of brutality Gruff was using on them.

"Stop it Gruff!" I yelled

"Oh, the monkey's angry." He said

"You got that fucking right," I said

"Please stop." Said Chi

Soon they both fell to the ground breathing in deep quick breaths as Gruff released his finger from the switch as he just smiled.

"I am impressed with you monkey. You were able to cause damage to one of my Griffon soldiers. He has at least three broken ribs from that attack." Said Gruff

"Serves him right for following a bastard like you," I said

"Now my worthless bitches get over here." Said Gruff

Chi and White Claw looked at each other as I stepped in front of them. Soon pony guards, the princesses, the rest of my harem, my friends, and my brother.

"Gruff, I'm not going to let you have them," I said

"Well, then you settled their fate." Said Gruff

I charged a min icicle and threw it, destroying his remote. He growled as he looked at me. I stood my ground not afraid of him.

"How dare you?" Said Gruff

"I dare because I'm not going to sit and watch what you're doing to these two girls. Others might be afraid to speak up against you, but I don't care. I don't fear anything that just a bag of hot wind," I said

"You're getting on my nerves monkey." Said Gruff

"Oh am I Gruff, you getting mad that the little old monkey isn't backing down to the big bad bird. Well, news flash Gruff, I don't fear bird, I fry them up with a side of barbecue sauce," I said

I could Celestia wanted to interject, but Twilight looked at her and seemed to tell her not to get involved. Flame kept my harem at bay as they watched the sense in front of them.

"Gruff, listen here I gave White Claw and Chi my promise that I would free them. I plan on keeping that promise you hear me," I said

"And how do you plan on doing that?" Asked Gruff

"Easy using a Griffon custom your people still use. I challenge you, Gruff, to a Slave Trade Battle," I said

The crowd started to murmur about it. Gruff then just laughed at my gesture.

"Ha, you must have been hit a little too many times on the head. I don't see you owning any slaves unless you're putting up some of your harem mates, which I doubt you will." Said Gruff

"Oh, I have something better than girls to offer to you if you win," I said

"What's that?" Asked Gruff

The crowd gasped as I showed Meteor and Icicle's crystal shards. "The two Crystal Shard Dragons I have so far. I bet your king would give you anything you wanted if you came back to your empire with these."

Gruff's eyes widen before a wicked smile appeared across his face. Just as I read, Griffons always give into their greed.

"Two of the most valuable artifacts on Eques for my two worthless slaves girls." Said Gruff

"Do we have a deal?" I asked

Gruff smiled, "Yes we do, monkey. I accept your challenge. Just name the time."

"Right now," I said

Gruff smiled as he looked at me.

"Then so be it." Said Gruff

I looked at Gruff as he just smiled at me. Just keep thinking your winning Gruff, just you wait. You will find out how great this monkey can be when he's full of anger and rage. I looked at Gruff and growled as it was time to show him what happened when you pissed off the Fabled Warrior.

Author's Notes:

So back to a two-parter chapter for this update of the The Fabled Warrior. Sorry, this chapter took so long to get out, but college is a pain in the ass, and I was on Spring Break. Plus, I also had a revision for this story, so that took some time. But here it is, so do enjoy. I will try to get part two out as fast as I can. So you'll just have to be patient with me as I work to get to out the second part. But as always: comment, like, follow, share and tell. See you all in part two of Liberation.
