The Imperial arms
Chapter 20: Town fight
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI raced beside Grand Chariot deep into the forest far from any statements in silence. I didn’t have my swords so I knew a fight would be the last thing I wanted at the moment, but my abilities would give me the edge. ‘Grand Chariot is the final product after in Incursio was made. The stance required to activate Grand Chariot is exactly the same as Incursio's, in which the user will stab the key into the ground and the Danger Beast within will cover its wielder with armor. The Grand Chariot armor grants its user increased physical strength and speed, similar to Incursio. Its full capabilities, however, have yet to be revealed and it is, therefore, unknown if it is more powerful than its predecessor, Incursio. That could is a very big problem for me but they both have the same weakness. The armor will rapidly drain his stamina so all I have to do is keep him swinging and he’ll wear himself down.’
“Here.”
He stopped in a large clear with a huge cabin in the middle of the clearing.
“This is mine and my groups home. Please come inside and the others are waiting.”
I waited and then he sighed as he looked at me.
“Fine, I’ll go first that’s what you want right?”
I nodded my head to the side and she walked over to the door and opened it. He walked in and nothing happened and I slowly walked in waiting to see what would happen. But, I stopped then I two more humans sitting on a couch. One was a large man with L'Arc Qui Ne Faut in hands with a quiver of arrows at his side and a smaller man sitting on the other side with Rongo Rongo open in hand. The larger man had on a pair of pants and nothing else. He had long blonde hair with fully white eyes. The smaller man was dressed in a suit and had on a pair of glasses.
“I see you’ve brought him.”
I looked at the man in glasses as he stood and looked at me.
“We have a proposition for you, Troy.”
“What is that?”
“We want you to kill Celestia and Luna and well show you how to get back to earth.” I narrowed my eyes and he looked t me with a raised brow.
“Wha…”
Before he could move I slammed a full power fist straight through his cut and my hand came out covered in blood through his back.
“BBBAWWHHH!”
He threw up blood on my arm as I took the book from his hands before he dropped it. I stuffed it into the side of my waistband. He looked up at me as I pulled my fist from his body. He tried to stop the bleeding as he spoke.
“Y-you bastard you killed me.”
He fell to the ground blood pooling under him. I saw the other man drew his bow back with a jagged arrow aimed for my head. I slammed my foot down on the wood and spears of ice few up and stabbed through his chest, gut, and throat be he managed to fire the arrow and I moved just enough so the arrow shot into my right shoulder. I encased his body in Ice wanting the weapon for my unit. The man in armor punched me through the front wall and sent me into the tree line. I turned midair and slammed my feet into the ground while holding the arrow. I sent a massive fireball at him and he dodged the attack. A collum of flames erupted from the impact with the cabin. I forced the air out the back of my shoulder then burned it. The ash fell from the wound and three color flames came from the hole. “Let’s do this motherfucker!” I jumped at him my power pushed to the max.
Luna pov
We sat in the hall the town’s population with us. Ameerah was asleep in my sister's arms as she spoke with Rarity. The other girl all talked with others as the mostly kept to themselves only speaking to one another.
“I don’t see why we're worried if we're lucky they kill each other.”
I turned my head and saw Twilight and her family stood in front of all the ponies in the hall.
“Think about it! When he showed up one attack after another came to our town. The diamond dogs and even Nightmare Moon lives here now how long till she goes crazy and kills us!?”
I narrowed my eyes as I spoke up.
“What about your brother Twilight Sparkle?” I asked her as I walked up before my herd sisters could go after her. Nightmare for her part had pulled a knife from her magic space. “He had his guards wipe out a new Changeling hive orphaning Ameerah. Not to mention he saved all the slaves from a slave camp and brought back Applebloom’s parents. He stopped a city-wide gang war before it started as well. You have it out for him because he killed that disgrace of a brother for what he did to Cadence.” Her left eye twitched as she looked at me.
“Oh shut your mouth Luna, your just some whorse who spread her legs in heat season!”
The hall was silent as I felt my anger rising as the room cold. “What did you just call a princess?” I could see my breath as I slowly walked forward. I could see Ice forming on the windows as I walked up at her. I looked down at her when I stood in front of her she shook as she looked up at me.
“W-wait I meant to say…”
I grabbed her mouth then slowly started to tighten my grip. “You're going to shut your mouth before I banish you from Equestria and lock you away somewhere. Am I understood?” she molded the best she could and I let her go bit her dragon assistant spoke up.
“All that aside how can you two overlook the trail of bodies in his wake? How many ponies, griffons, diamond dog, and others he’s killed to accomplish all that? How do we know he isn't a mindless killer?!”
I looked at him, and Applebloom spoke up.
“Shut the buck up Spike! You don’t what you're talking about!”
I looked at her as she walked up to Spike then slap him shocking us. She looked at him anger pouring out of her.
“You know nothing of the pain he's had to endure.”
Spike showed his fangs and pulled his hand back like he was going to slap her but the ground shook stopping everyone from the fight that was starting. I looked out a window and saw a column of flames erupting from the forest. “It’s started.” Quick shockwaves followed as the battle slowly started up. Clouds of dust fell up from what must be their attacks connecting or missing I wasn't sure which it was. After a few seconds, a line of dust flew through the air then something slammed into the center of town something following it. The cloud of dust cleared and Troy pulled himself out of a crater. He cracked his neck and arms a few times.
“Not bad man, that punch is is the top five I’ve been hit with over my life.”
“Honest praise I’ll accept graciously Thanatos.”
Troy cracked his knuckles as he started to walk over to the other human.
“If you don’t mind can I ask how you know about me?”
The other human started to walk as well.
“I’ve been jumped dimensions for a long time and I found your a few months ago. I was shocked to see other humans using imperial arms here. But, I have to ask why didn’t you fight the princess? They crazy enough in other dimensions.”
I was a little angry at that question but Troy just laughed a little.
“Haha, because they never attacked me first. I haven’t started the battle for the last year that is until today. All that aside let us get this do man. My girls don’t need to see this kind of a fight.”
I watched as they jumped at each other and slammed their fist into each other's face. The force of their punches sent both their heads back and blood flew from Troy’s mouth and he slid back a little. The man in armor slid back a little too but no damage was done to the armor. Troy waved his hands in the air a few times as he looked at him. He covered the fist in ice and ran at him again. The man tried to hit him again and Troy block the strike then slammed his fist into the man gut and a blast of air shot out of his back and he slammed back into the ground making a trench, but he slammed his hands onto the ground then flipped and landed on his feet. Troy charged him both fist in ice as the man Troy slammed both hands into the man gut and this time damaged appeared when cracks formed but then man slammed both his fist into the side of Troy’s head the kicked his back. Troy wasn’t moving and didn’t seem to know what was going on anymore.
“MOVE!”
Cadence yelled from my side as the armored man kicked him in the gut and sent him flying in the air. As he fell back to the ground ice shot out from his feet and he slid along it as it formed. When he touched solid ground he turned quickly and swung a leg in a horizontal line sending an ice blade at the man. Then he jumped up and landed on his hands and spun and sent both Ice and fire at the man. The man did his best to dodge them but many of the attacks hit only doing slight damage to armor. ‘What is it made of? It’s taking one hit after another without taking much damage.’ Troy landed and then charged him with fire covering his hands. His eyes were empty and I knew what was going on and the sudden change. “Troy got knocked out.” Everyone looked at me as he slammed the palms of his hands into the chest plate of the man. “His eyes are dead which means his body moving completely out of instinct.”
“How is that possible?”
My sister walked out beside me and spoke up.
“This happens sometimes among dragons and us alicorns when the conscious mind shuts down and the body takes control. Right now it’s going off pure fighting instances Troy’s used to suppressing these instances so right now we're seeing what may be human nature after a war. What we’re looking at maybe the man so feared in his world. The man named they called Thanatos.”
Troy pov
I moved in a haze as my body moving on its own. I grabbed the head of the man and slammed it into the ground then stomped his face deeper in. I kicked his lower back making his upper body came up from the ground. I swung my feet into his chest and sent him through the sidewall of the sugar cube corner. When he got up he let out a scream and ran at me. He threw a right and then a left and I leaned back dodging each easily and sidestepped an uppercut. He tried to hit me with hooks from each side but I blocked them both, He tried a straight left jab and I grab his wrist and started to crush it as I twisted his arm. Once it was turned the way I wanted I slammed my fist straight into his chest and sent him flying into the shield around the town hall. And, that was enough to finally deactivate the armor and the sword fell beside him. He was on his hands and knees blood dripping from his face. “Looks like you hit the limit of what your weapon can do for you.” My voice was cold and promised nothing but death.
“What are you talking about?”
He got to his knees and looked at me with green eyes behind his blonde hair. I kicked him and sent him back into the shield. He coughed up a mouth full of blood as I pent down and took Grand Chariot. Then spun it around my arms as I looked down at him. The blade making a cutting sound as I stood above him. “Armor types rapidly drain someone's stamina so all I had to do is keep you swinging and you’d wear yourself down. Now, you're at my mercy.” He started to shake violently as he looked up at me.
“T-this is the man named Thanatos. The man feared far beyond any other in all of mankind's history. Hailed as a god on the battlefield, a beast who bloodlust could never be sated.”
I laughed a little and nodded my head as I looked at him. “I left that life long ago but you still gambled a fight with me.” I stopped smiling as I looked down at him my right fist raised. “You put up a good fight, die knowing your pride as an imperial arms user with be intact for now to the end of time. He gave me weak smile and I brought my fist down covered in both fire and Ice energy. I slammed my fist down on his head and destroyed his head making blood sprayed from the impact. My body felt a burst of energy when I made impact. It was like I was in someone else when I hit him. Frozen and burnt Brain matter and skull pieces littered the ground. I grabbed the body then burned it to ash before the shield dropped. I looked at my fist as I heard the town hall doors opened and everyone slowly walked out as I looked down at the pile of ashes. I frown and I opened and closed my hands a few times.
“Troy!”
I looked up as Applebloom tackled into me and the other ran over joined the pile. I smiled a little as Celestia, Luna and Rarity looked down at us.
“Why are you all of happy!?”
The moment was ruined when a mare yelled. The girls moved and I sat up to are how was yelling. She was an older earth pony mare who still had her looks going for her as a milf. Her eyes were an opal and she had a two tones of light and dark purple. Her coat was a pale greyish pink which was complemented by jewelry she was wearing.
“M-mommy?!”
I looked at Diamond before she hid behind me.
“Young lady you come here right now!”
She stomped up to us and I stood to my full height a good head taller then her which seemed to worry her some but she held her ground and yelled at me.
“What did you do to my daughter you low class trash?!”
I raised an eyebrow as I looked down at her. “Well, you got guts I'll give you that. As for what I did was be her coltfriend and if we're lucky father of her foal.”
“WHAT!?”
She looked passed me at Diamond when a vicious look on her face.
“How could you Diamond Tiara! You are a pure blood Earth pony and you’d dilute our bloodline with this non-pony and not only that he’s a murder!”
I huffed and rolled my eyes as I crossed my arms. “Whoa, murder so original its not like I haven’t heard that a thousand times.” The fur on her face started to turn as she tried to grab Diamond. I grabbed her arm and lifted her up into the air by her arm. I lifted her up to my face and spoke. “Tell me your going to do if you get your hands on her. Oh, so you know if I hold you like this for too long your arm may come out of its socket.” She glared at me as I held her up.
“I’ll force her to get that waste of a life out of her body!”
I narrowed my eyes as my angry started to grow but to my shock Diamond reached out from behind me and looked up at her.
“Let her down I’ll handle this just don’t kill her.”
I looked down at Diamond then nodded my head and let her arm go. She fell down on her flanks and held her arm as Diamond looked down at her.
“Mommy this is Troy the coltfriend I told you about.”
“You didn’t tell me he wasn’t a pony!”
Diamond clinched her fist as she looked at her.
“What’s it matter!? He makes me happy, Daddy likes him and he’s better than older stallions you’ve tried to make me date all for your own plans to get closer to the noblehood you always wanted.”
“Oh shut up! If you’d just listen to me then you’d been married by now and have at least one pure foal! Now were going to the hospital to have anything inside you killed!”
“OK, that where I draw the line!” I stomped my foot and the ground and ice formed between us and everyone else. I grabbed the top of her hand and started to tighten my grip as she grabbed my grip. I lifted her up from the ground again and she silently screamed as I forced her to look at me. “Listen to me miss, you will not lay a hand on her or any of the foals or my herd. Your playing with the big boys now, am I understood?”
“Y-yes…”
I let her go and she grabbed the top of her head. My ice fell and I started to walk away.
“Troy?”
“I’ll be back in a few hours I need to go take care of something.”
