Trumpeter of Bakugan
Chapter 2: Jolokia Explanation and Some Yelling.
Previous ChapterAfter Lulu had released me from her patented "The Hugs and Snuggles Shall Last FOREVER!" hold I stood up and gazed at the Elements shocked faces and Tia's teary face, Twilight was the first one out of them to speak.
"Princess, who...what is that, and why does he look so..."
"Why the heck does he look like a hairless ape?" Rainbow Dash said rather bluntly. I raised an eyebrow at that remark and smirked before Celestia started talking.
"Twilight, everypony, this is Basco ta Jolokia. He helped Luna's and my mother, Queen Faust, raise us." she explained. "He..." was as far as she got before Pinkie Pie interrupted her.
"Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie! So what are you? What's your favorite foods? Hobbies? Where are you from? How old are you? What's
your favorite color? Mine's hot pink. How mmmhmmhmmh" Applejack grabbed her muzzle silencing Pinkie Pie for the time being.
"I sincerely apologize for Pinkie's behavior. Sometimes she's not exactly right in the head." Applejack said in her southern drawl.
"I'm a Displaced, Pizza and Spaghetti, making things, Bradford, I lost count at 1,000, blue, and finally I didn't catch that."
"You are good." she said after she removed her muzzle from Applejack's hand.
"How do you do what you do Pinkie? The last pony I knew that had those powers was a Pegasus Pony named Surprise, Equestria's first 'Party Pony'."
Pinkie gasped at that, "You knew Granny Surprise?!"
"Well that answers my question."
Twilight's, Applejack's, Fluttershy's, Rarity's, and Rainbow Dash's jaws had all dropped after I had finished that little conversation with Pinkie. "What?"
"Darling, how in Equestria did you keep up with Pinkie Pie? Nopony can keep up with Pinkie Pie, not even her coltfriend Cheese Sandwich and he's almost exactly like her."
"Orange coat, plays an accordion, has a poofy brown mane, wears a poncho and cowpony hat, and carries around a rubber chicken on his shoulder?" I asked even faster than Pinkie Pie did, their jaws dropped even further.
"Yeah. How'd you know that?" Pinkie asked me.
"Just a hunch~." I said in a playful voice while shrugging my shoulders. "So Celestia, what has happened while I was gone?"
2 hours later
"You blatantly disregarded the word of Twilight Sparkle, your own STUDENT, on a matter of extreme importance, and urgency about a possible CHANGELING INVASION! Which, may I add, hasn't occurred since King Cocoon, the INSANE, almost took over ANCIENT ROAM, with an army of 2!" I yelled at her before giving her a very disappointed look. "Little filly, you have disappointed me for the last time since you started this story and now I believe a punishment is in order." I said in a tone that made her swallow from being nervous.
"What are you going to do?" She asked scared out of her wits.
"Oh, I won't be doing anything. You on the other hand will be doing 1,000 push-ups, 1,000 wing-ups, 1,000 sit-ups, and 24 hours doing a handstand! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!?" I yelled channeling my old drill sergeant persona from when I was Faust's personal bodyguard.
"YES SIR!" She yelled in fright before dropping down and started doing the push-ups.
"If I see you slow down for even a second that light workout will be tripled. Understand me MAGGOT!"
"YES SIR!"
"Good, seems you still know when to obey orders from an elder. Now, as for you, Luna." I said to the quivering Alicorn in the corner. "Seeing as your sister will not be able to return to her duties for at least a whole day, you will be handling both the day and night shifts for today." I told her before she sprung up.
"But that's not-"
"SILENCE!" I screamed in MY version of the Royal Canterlot Voice, which shattered (read: reverted to sand) the throne room door. "If you think about whining or complaining about how this isn't fair, then take your complaints to Celestia when her punishment is over. One more word out of you and I will take away every single thing I made for you as a filly, and that includes the you-know-what."
"Yes sir." She said after she sighed and lowered her head which I went up to pet her head like I did when she listened as a filly which made her smile return to her face.
Now, I wanted my return to be known throughout the land so I gave my student, yes my student, one request in the flashiest way I knew. "NOW, my faithful student, GO AND SCREAM FROM THE HEAVENS that BASCO TA JOLOKIA, the CRIMSON CREATURE, the TRUMPETER OF TRIUMPH, HAS RETURNED TO EQUESTRIA!"
"HAI, SENSEI!" She said before teleporting away.
“Now, what next?” I said before turning towards the Elements and a certain Draconequus. “So, Discord.”
He swallowed before he flew out of there like one of those bats I'd seen after escorting Tirek to Tartarus.
“Why did he run?” I stood confused before shrugging my shoulders and looked to the Mane 6. “So, who wants to know about what exactly I am?”
“OOH OHH! ME! PICK ME!” Pinkie said excitedly.
“Alright, Pinkie.”
“YES!” She yelled pumping her fists.
“Alright, what question or questions do you have for me? They can't be any that you've already asked, however.”
“Okay.” She said before pulling a book titled ‘Trumpeter of Bakugan Script’ “Now which ones have I asked already? Got it!” She proclaimed before shoving the book back into her mane. “So, Mister ta Jolokia. What is a Displaced anyway?”
“Very good question Miss Pie. A Displaced, shortened from ‘Dimensionally Misplaced’, is any being that is from a different reality than the one they are currently in, but must be sent by someone called a Displacer or a higher power to actually be considered a Displaced. I myself was just a simple human who was enjoying myself at the nearest Comic-Con, I'm assuming you have those. While I was browsing the merchandise for sale I found myself in a surprisingly empty part of the building with only one stand open, that is where everything changed.” I said stopping the story before Rainbow Dash decided to speak up.
“What happened next?”
“That will have to wait for a little while, I believe the spontaneous sprouting of a castle in the middle of Ponyville has captured the attention of everypony living here.”
“Oh my gosh! I forgot about checking on everypony in town!” Twilight said before she teleported herself out of the room and started flying down the hall at a breakneck speed.
“Isn't anyone going to follow her? Your families are probably out there too.” That got them running. As soon as they were out of sight I turned to Celestia still doing her push-ups, same speed, and walked over too her. “I think now would be a good time to head home Tia.” I said before I picked her up off of the ground like she was a ragdoll and sped off to Canterlot.
Author's Notes:
I know it's short but I've had a bit of a writing block with the stories I've been working on. However that doesn't seem to be a problem when I'm working with other writers so I'm not sure if it's something wrong with me, or something else. I'm also working on several other stories on my own so that could have something to do with it.
