Chapter 2 The human

(note: the scorponoks are creatures that look like scorpions, they have 4 eyes, 2 in the front and 2 at the sides of their heads, the minor are gray, the major’s are black and the giant is red, they are not like the ursas, they have solid armor-like scale-skin around them, they are very strong and with their tail they can pierce through almost everything, they also have poison in their tail, the giant scorponok is about half the size of the ursa minor, the major scorponok is about 1/3 of the size of the giant scorponok, and the minor scorponok is about the triple in size of a normal pony)

Fullmetal POV

“Humanity, a race capable of doing marvelous, great wonderful things but also with the power of performing some of the greatest horrors and terrible acts to anyone, everyone and everything who would dare to stand on their way, the human is truly a terrible creature, maybe the most terrible creature of all, some humans are good, some are bad, some are true monsters and some are even worse than daemons.

If I could put me in a category I’d like to say Im good, with flaws yes, but good, I live in the modern society, I was born in a world with no parents, no family and no love, I grew up in the streets suffering cold and hunger every day for 12 years, until, a great man picked me up and showed me compassion for the first time in my life, he took me onto his home and instructed me on the old believes of humanity, honor, compassion, compromise, loyalty, valor, truth, dignity and determination, valor’s that were dying each passing day in the modern human society.

Power, money and influence was all that mattered to almost everyone, and I saw it, they did not cared who or what could be harmed or killed or worse in the process if it meant they could get what they wanted and desired, it sickened me.

When I was 16 my master died leaving everything he had to me, for a time I was sad and depressed but I understood, I knew he was in a better place so I began training with weapons and some moves for combat, all for the only purpose of honoring him and his passion, The way of the Guardians, at the same time I got somewhat addicted to video games and anime that featured places and beings that followed the same path and beliefs I was showed and I loved them.

Rapists, assassins, corruption, economical manipulation, betrayals and many more actions, more terrible actions humans did, made me want to be somewhere else, somewhere I could become a guardian, a place where I could protect the innocent and help all those who were too weak to fight for themselves, to help bring down a tyrant or  monsters so that everyone could live a happy and peaceful life,  or  at least someplace where humanity did not exist so I could start a new, I wished it so much but deep down I knew it was only a silly fantasy, even if sometimes I dreamed about it becoming true in my sleep, reality always came to bring my hopes down, I knew this was impossible.

I was 20 years old when I started to watch a show called “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic” and I had to admit it was quite good, I was in my room watching the last episode of season 2 for the 3rd time and sighed, “It would be nice to live in a place so peaceful and friendly as Equestria”, and it was true I would give ANYTHING just to have the minimal chance to live on a place like that. I got up, ready to go to an anime convention in town, “hope I see some cool stuff there, like the adorable fluttershy plushie or the miniature figurines I got last time”, I grabbed my laptop bag and suddenly a red light appeared before me blinding me for a sec then I was surrounded my 6 lights, one blue, one orange, one red, one pink, one green and one purple all spinning around me slowly, then ‘something’ hit me so hard and so suddenly I fell on the ground almost choking, I heard a little explosion and I opened my eyes, I noticed I was surrounded by smoke or something like that, and then I saw 2 figures  across the smoke, I heard a *GASP* so then I slowly got up without losing eye contact with the bigger figure, that was just a little smaller than me, I would say that it could reach my middle torso at the very least.

The smoke cleared soon reveling before my eyes  the 2 figures, the first and the smallest was from a little purple dragon with green mane scales and green eyes, the second was a horse like creature with a purple coat, purple eyes, a dark blue, pink, purple mane and tail and a star like tattoo on her sides, and I knew who this two creatures were, they were Spike and Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony show, but how? Was I dreaming again or was I dead?, I was asking myself this questions when I heard a faint “mmmmm, hello?” my first reaction was simple, smile “are you ok Mr. Human?” I heard next, after that I couldn’t deny my joy of meeting one of my favorite characters of the show.”

POV ends.

Fullmetal: I can’t believe it, I think I must be dreaming or something but I hope this is real and not just another dream, you are twilight sparkle are you not?-he said kneeling to be on eye to eye contact level- Hi! My name is Fullmetal-he gave a big smile to her- A true pleasure to meet you Twilight sparkle and spike

Twilight: -was taken a back at the sudden reactions and acts of the human before her, she only cracked a smile in return, but then her mind kicked in logic once more- wait, how do you know my name?

FM (for short): oh that, well it’s kinda hard to explain, but I have some questions of my own, would you answer mine if I answer yours?-she nodded- well you see……..

********************************************************************************

Twilight: let me get this straight there is a cartoon show called “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic” that shows our life’s to humans?-she asked rather confused- how is this even possible?

FM: well yes and no-they had moved to a deeper part of the library where nopony could see him and they could chat freely, drinking some tea in a nice little dinner table- we don’t see your life’s as they really are, there is a theory that states that some humans can see glimpses of other worlds or dimensions in their sleep or subconscious and then they draw it or write books, things like that, so Im guessing that Lauren Fost is one of those humans-he took a sip out of his tea-

Twilight: oh! Well let me tell you, it is very accurate –she took a sip out of her tea too-

FM: so-twilight looked at him- you summoned me here to help you protect Ponyville against these monster attacks?-she nodded- no offence but, you look rather, I don’t know, disappointed?

Twilight: yes a little in fact-another sip of tea- for the description I thought humans were more savage or wild looking, but then again it did mention you were rather intelligent beings so im not really that disappointed, so far I can tell I managed to summon a good human

FM: indeed you have, and let me tell you, do not try to summon another one of my race-at this twilight gave him a confused look- you got lucky, VERY lucky, most of my race are bad or evil, some are even worse, for example if you had summoned an serial killer he should have killed you on sight and everyone on his path with no remorse or doubt-twilight grimced at this- even worse if you had summon a military leader, well let me just tell you that I don’t even want to imagine what he could do here, maybe even take over Equestria killing the fair rulers, of course if you had summoned a---

Twilight: please stop, please just stop-FM looked back at her, having moved his face to face the ceiling- I get your point, I was very lucky and I promise I won’t summon another human I don’t want to risk my chances anymore

FM: good as long as you remember that all will be alright-it was selfish, yes, but true he didn’t want some mayor asshole coming to this peaceful untainted land- you must know I am no warrior but I do know how to fight, I will need some weapons and maybe a shield-a mighty growl came from his stomach- and some food, I need some food I just remember I didn’t ate breakfast-twilight giggled a little and spike, who has quiet listening to the conversation snorted-

Spike: Im on it F-and then he was out of the scene and into the kitchen-

Twilight: the book didn’t say anything about your physiology or much about your anatomy, tell me what do you usually eat?

FM: well I am --------

?????: TWILIGHT ARE YA ‘N THERE!!??? TWILIGHT!!!!

Twilight: oh no its applejack, quick hide-she said and FM hide in the kitchen, she then went to the door opening it- what’s wrong applejack?

AJ (for short, yes Im lazy): the scorponok is back an’ it came back with some friends of his! C’mon hurry!! The others are trying to hold’em off-she said panting a little-

Twilight: Go on ahead I must get something first, hurry!!

AJ: See ya there on a yippie!!-she turned back running towards the main gate-

Twilight: I must go, please stay here until this situation is handled-and then she was off running towards the main gate-

Spike: another attack today and by the same monster, I really don’t like this

FM: me too-spikes looked up at him- spike, is there any kind of weapon around here? A sword, an axe or a spear?-he said while looking around for something he could use as a weapon-

Spike: yes, there is this one spear on the room below, but twilight said to wait here

FM: I know, but I have a bad feeling about this, I can’t explain it but I feel like if I don’t go someone will die-spike eyes widen in fear and shock of more deaths at the claws of the monsters- go get it fast!!-He was getting rather desperate; he didn’t liked this feeling, not in the slightest- NOW!!

Spike: Yes Sir!!- Spike opened the gate of the secret room below their house and disappeared on the dark room-

FM:-while spike was searching for the spear he was searching for more weapons, finding only a kitchen knife- well I guess this will have to do-putting the knife in one of his pockets he waited for spike to return with the weapon-

********************************************************************************

Twilight arrived to the main gate to see that it was destroyed, and that what applejack had said to her was true, the giant scorponok was back and not alone; along with it there were 2 major scorponoks and 8 minor scorponoks, she saw rainbow dash, storm caller, ditzy doo, cloudmaker and wind slash kicking thunderclouds over the giant scorponok, hitting it over and over with powerful thunderbolts but unlike before it barely reacted to them but it did slowed it down from its advance towards the town.

The other scorponoks were already inside the village held back only by the brave ponies defending it. Applejack, big Mac, rarity, caramel and doctor whooves were having a hard time distracting and keeping back one of the major scorponoks the other one was been  held by fluttershy alone, she was not giving it the stare but her rather kind nature was keeping the monster at bay and somewhat tamed for the moment, Zecora, the mayor, pinkie pie, and many more were dealing with the 8 minor scorponoks with a lot of success, even managing to drive them outside the walls once more.

The major scorponok that was held back by fluttershy slowly backed away outside the wall, soon after the other one was driven back thanks to mighty, and painful if you count the snarl the scorponok gave, twin kick-blow to its eyes, a gift from applejack and big Mac, right when they passed at the sides of their “leader”, the giant scorponok growled loudly making the rest of the scorponoks turn back with a more savage and hungry look and really, really angry.

Twilight: Im going to reinforce the gate, stand back everypony!-at her command everypony came running back, or flying in the Pegasus case, behind the safety of the walls, her horn glowed and then the shattered gate glowed too and then she fell onto the ground gasping for air-“What the hay?!!”- she screamed inside her head both in horror and surprise-“of course, the summon!, It took more magic power away from  me than I had originally thought, I can still make simple magic spells but I can’t do anything more advance!!!-.

Then panic stroked Twilight when she heard an unified scream of fear and turned to see the giant scorponok destroying what was left of the gate and in by doing so it also took down a section of the walls supporting the gate, making enough room for it to pass freely into Ponyville, then one of the minor scorponoks came literally leaping towards her growling and snarling, she heard a worried “TWILIGHT!!” from everypony around her, she tried to move but she felt heavy and weak, she closed her eyes waiting for the strike of the monster that would end her life and then, silence.

Silence that lasted only for a short 2 seconds before a mighty “GRWWWAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL” filled with pain that made her open her eyes and see before her the minor scorponok, about 2 meters away from her screaming and struggling in pain caused by  the large stick that pierced its head, moments later it stopped moving, it was dead now. Twilight looked up to see a figure stand above the scorponok retrieving the large deadly stick from it, her savior, it was Fullmetal.

FM: I think Im just in time don’t you think so?-he said in a serious way looking at the monsters that looked quite surprised and angry-

Spike: Twilight, are you alright, did those monsters hurt you?-he gave her a hug and started checking for wounds-

Twilight: I…….I…….I’m okay spike, than you-the dragon smiled- and tha---

She was cut off by the mighty furious roars of the scorponoks, another minor scorponok charged at Fullmetal leaping at him just a few meters above him, Fullmetal caught the scorponok with his spear trespassing the spear head through its *chest* making it scream in agony and tossing it to the ground, smashing it against the floor, head landing first, causing an awful *Crack* noise on impact, killing it instantly.

Two more minor scorponoks launched themselves at him. He withdrew the spear from the dead scorponok and tossed it against the one in the right hitting it straight in the mouth making it bleed its blue blood, the other one tried to grab him with its left claw but he dodge it and stabbed the kitchen he had in one of its eyes making it scream and tumble from side to side in pain, he removed the knife and saw the first scorponok attack him with its tail, he moved just before the impact and making its attack land on the back of the second one, injuring it greatly, he took this chance to attack the first scorponok grabbing the end of the spear and pushing it forward, killing it almost instantly, he then retrieved the spear, leaving the second scorponok struggle in pain for a few seconds before it died down.

A major scorponok moved in to attack him while the other one and the four minor scorponoks attacked the ponies making them react for the first time after the arrival of Fullmetal. The major scorponok that was fighting FM tried to stab him with its tail only for him to dodge and pierce its tail in return making a lot of blood and poison to come out from the wound, it tried again but he dodged it again but this time making its tail pierce a part of the wall, the scorponok tried to retrieve its tail but it couldn’t it was stuck, seeing his chance FM climbed on top of its head as the scorponok tried to free itself from the wall, not even noticing him until he was on top of it, he tried to use its claws to reach him but its own tail was acting as defensive barrier for FM, he was about to piece its head when he noticed a big  figure above him and jumped off just in time before a giant claw landed on the major scorponok head, killing it instantly.

FM looked at the giant red scorponok above him, it was pretty big he had to admit, it was almost as big as the houses and the wall but its legs were short and probably he was too heavy to move upwards, even a little, reason why he had to take down the gate and not simply climb over the wall, his thoughts were interrupted when a  claw grabbed his spear and refusing to let go the giant scorponok tossed him in the air making FM lose his grip on the spear, he screamed in surprise as  he was falling and in a surprisingly fast move the giant scorponok catch him with its mouth swallowed him entirely.

Twilight: no………NO………NOO!!......FULLMETAL!!!!!!-she felt terrible, he had saved her just roughly 3 minutes ago and now he was in the insides of a monster, she had summon a creature only to die protecting them, that was what she aimed for in the beginning but after their little talk she felt, no, she NEEDED to make his stay a comfortable one if he was going to protect them- FULLMETAL!!!!!-She screamed again only to gain the attention of the giant scorponok, who had an idiotic satisfied grin-like face, suddenly change into a hungry one and charge at her-

*moments earlier in the other side of the battle*

Fluttershy had made the major scorponok run back to the forest thanks to “the stare” after seeing it almost catch rarity with one of its claws, in her distraction one minor scorponok tried to slice her in half with its claws but it failed when the manticore named “Little Chad” caught it with his right lion paw, after Chad sent him flying back to the forest, fluttershy hugged Chad who in return purred in delight, the other  scorponoks had retreated back to the forest after receiving many thunderbolts, kicks and getting hit by everything the unicorns could throw at them using their magic.

Fluttershy landed in the back of Chad and saw all her friends well and ok.

Fluttershy: Im so happy all of you are ok, unless you are i-injured that is-she hide behind her mane like she usually did-

Rarity: we are fine darling, and thank you for saving me in that dire moment fluttershy you have my gratitude-she said smiling at the shy Pegasus-

AJ: ah say these monsters sure don’t know wha’ you get when ya try to feast on an apple!! Am I right Big mac?-she said looking at her brother-

Big Mac: eeeyup, ah say they want mor’ than what they can chew on-he said in his usually calm voice-

RD: yeah and fluttershy the way your manticore threw that scorponok away was SUPREMELY AWESOME!!!!-she said laughing- HEY! Now that I think about it who was----

Pinkie: OH OH OH!!! I KNOW I KNOW, it is a monster that twilight tamed!!!! did you see how he came running with that pointy stick on its hoofs although they didn’t look like hoofs I was all WOAHHH and the it went and SLAM and then WUSH AND SUSH AND BAM AND muff mfghggg-an apple was put on pinkie’s mouth making her shut up-

AJ: I reckon it was pinkie, but what is really buggin me is tha’ that creature seems familiar, ah know ah has seen it before-she said putting a hoof on her chin, doing her thinking pose-

Fluttershy: but it k-k-killed the scorponoks so e-easily it must be dangerous, at least I think if that’s ok

RD:  but where is it, I think he was fighting the other big scorponok-she said flying again- we must help it out C’MON!!!-but before she could do anything rarity caught the attention of everypony near her-

Rarity: oh my darlings!! Look!!-she pointed towards FM who just landed on the ground after the attack of the giant scorponok- I must say it is wearing a rather awful fashion albeit comfortable- she then noticed FM looked at the giant scorponok not noticing the claw at the left side- darling look out!!- But it was too late, the scorponok grabbed the spear and FM didn’t let go-

RD: what does it think it’s doing HEY LET GO THE STICK-she shouted but then the scorponok tossed him into the air-

FM: WOOAAHHHHHHH!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!

At that moment the six of them plus all the other ponies near only watched in terror as FM was falling and then saw the scorponok move very fast for its size, open its mouth and then  in a swift movement swallowed the strange creature completely, the scorponok smiled or so it seemed rejoicing on its new acquired meal.

Twilight: NO!!!! FULLMETAL!!!!-They heard her scream loudly, tears began falling from her eyes- FULLMETAL!!!!-she screamed again only to gain the attention of the giant scorponok who in return charged at her-

The shock of seeing a creature been devoured by another was to great nopony shouted and could only stare the imminent attack towards twilight.

*back to twilight*

Twilight saw the giant monster charging at her both her and spike couldn’t move out of the shock and impression of seeing FM been eaten seconds before, there was no way to stop the monster or get away on time, this time she didn’t closed her eyes, if she was going to die she was going to die proudly she charged her horn again trying to teleport only to find it exhausted her. The scorponok raised its right claw ready to attack………..and suddenly stopped, everypony was in shock, the giant monster just stood there, freeze for some seconds until it gave some steps back looking rather sick, then it cough blue blood and started screaming in agony, it tossed its claws and tail wildly and randomly due cause from the intense pain it was feeling, then it fell on the ground and rolled over  still coughing blood and squirming in pain, then some noises could start to be heard *crack* *crackle* *crulrk* like something was breaking slowly, then all of a sudden a spry of blood came emerged from its belly followed by an arm holding something, after a few seconds FM came out completely from the giant scorponok’s stomach covered in blue blood and part of its insides looking very, very angry and intimidating, then he ran onto the monster’s “neck” and face and started stabbing it.

FM: IM-stab- GONNA-stab on an eye- FUCKING-stab on another eye- KILL-3 fast stabs on the base of its right claw, making it scream in more pain and making even more blood spill out to everywhere- YOU-stab on the neck- FOR-another-TRYING-another- TO-Stab in another eye- EAT-stab in the last eye- ME-he then stabbed 10 more times the base of its right claw making it fall down, separated from its body, in return the scorponok screamed in agonizing pain, but couldn’t move or escape thanks to the internal injuries and now being blind FM took this chance and went for the spear that was not too far away from the now useless claw, he then came back and climbed again positioning himself over the monster’s under-jaws – NOW YOU DIE!!!-he shouted and then pierced all the way through until the spear was no more and a blue pool started to form under its head-

The giant scorponok squirmed a little and tried to growl but the spear was chocking it and after almost a full minute, it died. FM took the spear out and then jumped down landing in front of twilight and the crowd that had formed while the scorponok was dying.

Nopony could believe what had they just witnessed, a strange creature had come out of nowhere saving twilight and killing many of the monsters easily, after seeing all the battle they were grateful but afraid, what if this creature was going to kill and devour them instead, it looked so fierce, so brutal, so damn dangerous covered in so much blood of the monsters and the look on its face was the look of a villain or a greater monster that did not care for anything nor anyone, in short, this creature was right down terrifying.

Then all gasped as he leaned down to be face to face with spike and twilight and said

FM: Im sure glad you are ok now twilight and you too spike-he smiled at them both in return spike smiled back and twilight smiled happily-

Twilight: I thought you had……..that you……..Im just glad you are safe and sound Fullmetal-she got up with some effort and tried to hug him but he refused-

FM: Im covered in monster blood and other nasty things, it’s a bad idea to hug me at the moment hahaha!!-he laughed and then twilight began to laugh too, and soon almost everypony around was laughing- soon enough the laughter stopped and a pink pony approached to the him with a BIG smile on her face-

Pinkie pie: HI!!! Im Pinkie pie and I LOVE parties, what are you? Who are you? Do you like parties? I bet you do if you can laugh like that!!!! What are you doing in here mister strange creature?-she asked in a fast cheerful tone-

FM: whoa whoa, hold on, let me see, mmmmmmm, it’s a pleasure to meet you pinkie pie, I am a human, my name is Fullmetal, yeah I love parties, and as for what Im doing here well-he then got up and faced everypony with a big smile on his face- Im here to protect you all from the monsters, I am Fullmetal, your new guardian!!
