Huntik: Titans Of Equestria
Chapter 9: Chapter 9 a new knight arises
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI woke up around six and took my pills and I got dressed I put on a black t shirt and some blue jeans I didn't feel like putting on anything special but it was time for my training and I walked outside to the training yard where I did some basic stretching and I pulled out the two Undergolems.
“Undergolems.” I said they appeared and I summon my cypherdex.
“Scan them please.” I said and it scared the titans.
“Undergolem, attack 4, defense 4, type Litho-titan warrior, size colossal, special ability stone form.” It said and I unsummoned it.
“Ok you two I want to see what you guys can do let's start with ummm let me think” I said and I tried to think of what they could do then I saw there were ponies having trouble fixing the windows.
“Here let me help Findshape.” I said and the windows pierced themselves together and they all thanked me but no it was time to think of how see what they could do.
“Well I can't think of anything how about you guys just do what you want for now I have to go get some food in me.” I said and walked away to get to the dining hall when I got there everyone was already here and I sat down next to Applejack.
“So what's for Breakfast?” I asked and Luna said.
“Well for you we ordered some bacon and eggs and we are all getting salades.” She said and the food was brought in and we began eating.
“So what rank noble will I be? “ asked Celestia and she thought about it.
“Me and Luna have been talking about it and we want to make you a duke.” She said and I nearly choked on my food.
“Is’t duke just below a prince I thought knights were towards the bottom.” I said.
“While that is true most of them time we can still give you a higher noble rank and if we were to give you a low rank nobles higher than you would try to take your place say a low ranking noble should not be watching over the elements so it is really the only option and we heard you bought the priverse nobles house so we do not have to build you one.” She explained and I guessed it made sense so I didn’t say anything else.
I just finished my food and said. “Well I am going to check on the Undergolems and make sure they have not caused trouble?” I said and Rainbow said ell more like yelled.
“YOU LEFT THEM ALONE!” She yelled and everyone covered their ears.
“Yes I thought they would be fine they were forced to fight at the gala and they were very calm before I left them so I will check on them now. Want to come with me?” I said and everyone got up and we walked towards the training yard and we all heard shouting and we started running.
“What is happening out there.” Luna said and we ran out the door and what we saw surprised us we saw a giatn stone slab in the middle of the training yard and the two Undergolems appeared to be arm wrestling while grabbing a corner of the slab with their free hand.
When we look to the side we saw the guards shouting and some were placing bets on who would win some bet the one on the left and others bet the one on the right the corners began to crack from the pressure of the Undergolems grip and they both struggled for dominance and the one on the left started to overpower the other and has had slowly began to get closer to the stone slab but then it was back to the middle has the one on the right regained some of his strength and with one final push he slammed the left ones fist into the slab casing it to break apart and the right Undergoelm stood victories with both of his arms raised he stood up and some of the guards were cheering and some looked disappointed the other one did not win.
“I was worried something happened.” I said as I breathed out a sigh of relief and so did the others with me and agreed.
“Well it is time we prepare for the announcement .” Celestia said and we had left the yard after I told the Undergolem’s to return and we wait in the room where we went to the gala and Celestia told us to wait here and she would send a guard when everything was ready.
“So what does a noble do exactly?” I asked Twilight if anyone knew it would be her since she has stayed here and she has read so many books.
“Well you would look over changes that would happen in Ponyville like any changes to the park you would either have to approve or disapprove those changes or if an extension is added to Cloudsdale you would have to say it is ok or not and you will receive payments monthly from the castle for your work and you can request bits for public projects you will monitor the activity of the everfree forest to see if any guards are needed at the edge of the forest and finally you will need to enforce the laws around ponyville and Cloudsdale even though there has been no incidents in years but it is one of your duties and more be given to you by Celestia but those are the basics you need to know beforehand.” She said explaining everything I needed to know right now it seemed simple enough to understand.
“Thank now I know what I have to do as a noble now.” I said and I guard walked in saying it was time for us to head to the square now.
The square was massive and packed it was filled with nobles, business owners and ambassadors that had come by the order of their rulers to see what the Princesses had to say.
Celestia bargain to speak. “I am sure many of you know that the Gala was attacked by the name of the nemesis order.” She said and many of the ponies and ambassadors gasped except the ones that were at the gala.
“But now that we know who we are facing we can now defend ourselves against them and their organization seems to be comprised of several races including ponies and if it wasn't for one individual they might have succeeded in their plans.
An ambassador spoke up from the crowd he was a griffin. “And who is this individual?” He asked.
“Noah Casterwill if it weren't for him they would have succeeded and there is something else I want to say our enemy has titans serving them.” She said and many ponies and a few others asked what titans were and Celestia told them everything she knew many of the ponies seemed to be reporters and they were writing everything down as she said it.
A reporter spoke up. “If these titans are so powerful how was he able to beat them?” Asked the reporter.
“Because he can use titans as well and he has experience fighting them which leads me to my next announcement I now introduce the first Knight of Equestria in a thousand years Noah Casterwill.” She said and guested for me to come forward and I walked up next to her.
“Is there any questions the press want to ask.” Celestia said and several raised their hands and I pointed at a mare in the back.
“Where are the titans being held?” She asked.
“I am sorry but I can't not say all I can say is that there are in a secure place and can not taken.” I said and reported raised their hands again and i chose a griffin this time.
“How did you get your titans?” He asked and I told him how I got most of them from my father and I told everyone were I came from and I told them how titans choose their masters and how they do it. “But it appears not many people here can bond with titans so we can except not many of those that have joined the nemesis order can have titans bond with them.” I said and that made a few relax a bit.
“Anything else?” I asked and two lifted their arms one was mare wearing a black suit and the other was a what looked like a scientist mare.
I chose the one is the black suit first. “ You first.” I said and she cleared her throat.
“Are the guards able to fight titans as they are?” She said and I looked at Celestia and she nodded her head.
“No they are not but that is where I will come in I can fight and beat them alongside my titans.” I said then it was the others turn.
“How many many titans do you currently have?” She asked and I started continuing.
“I am bonded with 17 titans.” I said and she and several other wrote it down.
Celestia then decided to talk. “Now that all the questions are out of the way the ceremony will be held in one hour at the castle I hope you all have a wonderful day and goodbye for now.” She said and she out a hand on my shoulder and we went to the castle with the girls following us.
After returning to the castle we went back to the dining hall when Celestia sighed and she sat down in her chair.
“Is something wrong?” I said and she looked at me.
“This is really difficult we haven't had a conflict since Nightmare moon and the guards are not what they use to be and now that we are up against titans again we might not be able to fight them.” She said and all the girl also had sad looks on their faces.
“Look I’m here and I can fight them I have much more experience then them I can fight.” I said her to reassure her.
“There is no telling how many titans they have and the ones we seekers we caught wont talk.” She said.
“Why don't you just give Nah the most powerful titans you can find.” Rainbow said plainly and she crossed her arms.
Celsetia looked up and her than me and she teleported me where the titans were and she wasn't here with me.
“Hello can you bring me back up!” I shouted only for no one to hear me and then there was another flash and the princesses and girls were down here with me..
“Can you explain to me why you teleported us down here I already have enough titans?” I asked and the girls were wondering where we were until Luna opened the door to reveal all the titans.
“I know but with times how there are now you need us much firepower as you can get.” She said. “Plus I have a titan I was wanting to give you at the ceremony so I will grab it and you have to grab two more titans or you can't leave end of discussion.” She said and walked off and i clench my fist and walked off to find two amulets I had one in mind.
“Where are you .” I said to myself and I found it and I picked up an amulet this amulet was of the hecto type.
“So this is Ammit Heart Eater I think they were about 4 feet and 6 inches tall.” I said and smiled it was on my list to collect all the hecto titans one of my life goals and I saw another amulet on the opposite stone slab and I walked over to it and summoned my Cypherdex.
“Kilthane attack 5 defense 4 type Draco-titan warrior size average special ability Knights charge.” It said and I unsummoned it and took Kilthane and we bounded.
I walked back to the entrance and Celestia was already there and I glared at her as I showed her the two new amulets and we teleported out.
“When is the ceremony?” I asked with an unpleased tone in my voice.
“It’s been only half an hour since we came back so we should get ready and the nobles will be gathering soon to witness the ceremony are there any titans you want to stand at your side when you are knighted?” She asked me.
“I have a few that I can think of.” I said and I noticed she did care about my tone.
“Well I have to go set everything up goodbye for now.” She said and I saw her hand was holding onto something probably the titan she wants to give me so I guess I will see it sooner or later.
I tried to calm down it was likely my condition making my anger. I took some deep breaths and calmed down and we waited a few minutes before heading to where the ceremony is and I too out two titan both of my Sekhmet and I summoned both of them and they stood at my sides powerbounded on my left and the normal on my right out of all my titans they are the ones I trusted the most including Thornment.
When we got to the door a guard stopped me but let the others past.
“It has started I will tell you when it is time for you to go through.” He said and me and my Sekhmet's waited for him to tell he and he was constantly looking through waiting for a signal.
“Ok it is time.” He said and I walked through the door and my Sekhmet’s followed me and when were in inside their were nobles and reporters everywhere except in front of my where I was supposed to walk towards Celestia.
I began walked down the path with my Sekhmets just behind me and they have their sword holstered on their hips many of the Ponies look afraid of them and I made it to where Celestia was she had a sword at her side.
“Today we witness a new generation of knights that will guard Equestria and it’s people.” She said to the nobles and then she whispered to me. “Kneel.” and I got on one knee.
She lifted her sword and placed it on my right shoulder.
“Do you plead to uphold the laws and principles.” She said.
“I do.” I said and then she said.
“Do you swear to protect the people and to fight with honor.” She said and she moved the sword to my other shoulder.
“I do.” I said and she took the sword off and out the tip on the sword on the ground and put her hands on the end of the hilt.
“Rise sir Noah it is time to receive your rank and badge of office.” She said and I stood up.
“I give you the rank of duke and here is your badge of office and you will also be watching over Ponyville and cloudsdale.” She said and she put something in my hand and I looked at it, it was an amulet but I didn’t know what titan it was and the bonding process begun and may arm felt like my arm was on fire but i managed to fight through the pain as it finished.
After it was over I could hear many Nobles shouting that I didn’t deserve my rank but Celestia told them to be quiet and reporters we taking pictures and trying to ask questions but they were ignored.
After everyone was lead out of the castle Celestia wanted to talk to me alone. “I’m sorry for how I acted earlier but I am under a lot of stress right now and didn’t really have much of a choice the best way for you to fight them is to keep them guessing if you have different titan then what they think you have you will have an advantage.” She said and I forgave her but now it was time to go home me and the girls packed out things and headed for the train station I decided to let the Sekhmet’s out for a bit and let them stretch their legs for a bit.
After boarding the train they sat at my sides it almost felt like they were my body guards and I summoned my Cypherdex and put the amulet above it and let it float as it was scanned and it showed the titan inside.
“Cavalier attack 3 defense 2 type Draco-titan warrior size average special ability flight flame swords.” It sand and I grabbed it and put it around my neck and unsummoned the Cypherdex.
“After we get back let's work on the farm.” I said to Applejack and she nodded and smiled.
After we finally got back we immediately headed for the farm so she could get me used to working there and tell me what I had to do, we stopped at the house first so Applejack can put everything away I told the Sekhmets to get my bags to the house and meet up with me here they can be a great help at the farm the Undergolems could carry loads of things filled with apples.
“And this where we store the apples.” SHe said as she showed me the barn and she opened it to show loads of apples.
“Most will be gone tomorrow we also supply several towns with apples as well.” She told me so I guess there would some hard work today and it can give me some practice with managing my powers such as dragon fist it is powerful but the power can be lessened to suit my needs.
“Well let’s get started.” I said and Applejack hugged me before the Sekhmet's returned and we all headed into the orchard.
