Chapter 4

I had returned to town hall to see the assistant seemed to be expected. "So how did it go?" She asked.

"The cave is now filled with spikes of ice but it seemed the leader of the pack wasn't inside, and attacked me from behind, though I managed to block with my weapon was destroying after." I told her as she said.

"Ok then would you please hand me your badge it is outfitted with a recording spell so I can prove your claims." She said so I handed it to her.

Her hands glowed but as quickly as it came it vanished before she handed it back. "Ok then the bounty on the manticore is complete let me just get your pay." She said, as she reached under her desk again, as I heard her rummaging through various items.

She she brought up a faulty large but of what looked liked coin judging from the exterior. I opened it to see golden coins inside. "Isn't this a bit much?" I asked her.

"Bounty hunters are paid very well for their work so yes." She said so I just nodded and took it before asking.

"Is there a black smith around here?" I asked her, and she nodded.

"Yes not far from here it should be easy to spot." She told me so I headed out.

I looked around for a bit until I found it, it was an old building made of stone bricks and there was a large chunky on top.

I walked inside to see a rather old looking fellow at the forge, his hair was gray but his body was very tan and looked buff as he hit the heated metal with his hammer, he didn't wear a shirt which showed his muscular chest, that is when he turned to face me, he wore some kind of tinted goggles but he lifted them to show his green eyes.

"How may I help you young man?" He asked as I set down the bag of coins.

"The names Winter Storm perhaps you heard of me?" I asked and he nodded.

"Yes i heard a few things, what do you need?" He asked as he got up from the forge.

"I was hunting a large pack of manticores, i killed them all before they left the cave, but their leader seemed to have sneaked behind me but I guarded from its attack, abdcas I result was weapon was destroyed, I came here in hopes of finding a replacement." I told him.

"What do you want?" He asked me as he opened a few doors where I think he kept weapons.

"I am looking for a sword bit I am skilled with daggers and spears." I said, and I heard him groan.

"Sorry don't have any swords left i sent them up to the capital last week but I do have spears, and daggers you could buy." He said.

"I think I'll just take a spear I'm only going to be use8ng it as a base anyway." I said as he brought out an ordinary spear. 'it might not be pretty when it's done since this kingdoms tech is lacking but I will have to make due with what I have.' I thought.

"So your gonna customize it?" He asked me as he handed it over.

"Not exactly in school we were taught to make out own weapons if needed, I went through many different classes of it, as well as piano and organ classes my mother made me go through, god it was awful, but I got through them." I said, as he told me the price i quickly paid him but it seems he wasn't done with me yet.

"If your making your own weapon I have a few spare tools I don't need, it's the least I can do for the man that saved the town." He said, as I smiled.

"That's that'll really help." I told him as he gave me a bag of tools.

"Ok then i have a spear no I need parts likely the only place I'll find good parts for a weapon is a scrap yard, not the ideal place but I do the best with what I have." I told myself as I wondered town, and found a scrap yard.

"Finally." I said.

I walked up to it, but as I did I saw someone at a both near the entrance.

I walked up to it the women at it she had dark hair as was her skin, and she wore sunglasses over her eyes.

"Are you here to throw metal away or too take metal?" She asked me.

"I here to take parts, do I have to pay a fee or something?" I asked her.

"Yes black smiths and other come here to either drop of metal to be melted down into weapons to fight grimms or to take metal to make parts for machinery." She said. "But as for the fee it'll be 20 bits." She said.

I guess that was what they called their currency, so I gave her what she asked for, and headed inside their were stacks of boxes I guess for people to use.

I covered some of them in ice so I could make them float in the air, as I walked through the scrape years looking for parts that seemed useful.

After i had fill the boxes I headed for the exit. 'Ok now all I need is a blow torch, hopefully there is a store with one.' I thought as I looking around.

Luckily they did have one and after buying it, it was time to head back to Rarity's.

"What were you thinking bringing all this junk here!" Rarity screamed as I entered the door.

"I need it to make a new weapon, mine unfortunately was destroyed by a manticore stinger." I told her as I explained everything that happened.

After she had calmed down she said. "Ok i may have overreacted but after your done take what's left back to the scrap yard." She told me.

"I will but I'll likely be in my room for the rest of the day." I told her as I went to my room to get to work.

{2 days later Rarity's POV}

I paced outside Winter's room he had been in their for two days straight rarely coming out to eat his food, I was getting worried about him, and I was about to go get the girls so maybe we could take to him, but as I was about it decide what to do their was a knock on the door.

When I opened the door I saw it was solar guards that served Celeista. "How may I help you gentlemen?" I asked them.

"Where here to talk to Winter Storm the princess herself has a job for him transport has been arranged, and expenses taken care of." They said, told me.

"Come inside so we can talk." I said to them as I sat them down to explain what Winter is doing.

After explaining everything one of them said. "Well I suppose that makes since the princess did say the weapon he used was strange si he's trying to make another like it." He said aloud as Winters door opened.

"Well I'm finally done, it's not pretty but it's ready." He said as I looked over at him, he looked absolutely exhausted, he had bags under his eyes and he walked slowly, as he sat down only to notice the guards in front of me.

"Who are these two?" He asked me as he rubbed his eyes trying to stay awake.

"They are solar guards they serve Celestia, and they have told me they have a job for you." I told him.

"Ok just let me relax for a moment before you tell me, I've been working non stop on that spear changing it spear head, and almost everything else to get it to suit my needs." He said firefly, as the other guard brought out a potion.

"Here take this it'll wake you up real fast." He told Winter as he uncrokes the battle before sniffing if.

"It smells like sewage." He said as he held it away from his nose.

"Trust us lmao every potion smells like that but they work, and the taste is not as bad as the smells just hold your nose and you'll be fine." They said so he did as they said as he drank it.

After he drank he looked like he was about to throw up but kept it down. "That awful." He said as he gave it back to the guard.

"Yeah but it works." He said.

"So tell me what grimm will I be dealing with?" Winter asked.

"Beowolves while the most common they are still dangerous." He told him.

"So where are they?" He asked him as he got up, and headed towards his room.

"At the base of canterlot mountain." He said as Winter reached into his room and pulled out a strange spear.

"Ok then let's go." He said.

{Winter's POV}

The spear wasn't my best work but it will do its job, I based it off the gun spear in bloodborne but added a few tricks in the spearhead can spear head can soin very quickly and in the spearhead I can insert the dust in, but the one downside is the gun part is bassily one shot sniper, I have one shot before I have to reload.

"We already have transport ready it'll only take an hour to get there." They told me so they lead me outside where there was a chariot being pulled by horses with wings.

I had so many questions but I kept quiet, as I got into the chariot with themqui could feel the chair being pulled into the air as we got seated.

"So do you mind if we ask you a few questions?" One of them asked.

"Sure, as long as it's nothing personal." I told them.

"So we heard what an aura and semblance is but how do you get your aura?" They asked.

"Well most get it at radoms, and there are some that getting it when they are going through great emotional stress, and for those with powerful auras we can bring out another's aura but it cost a lot of energy to do so, but there are many that never find their aura." I told them.

"Ok then how does a semblance work?" They asked.

"Well everyone's semblance is unique to them and it is much like a muscle, the more you train with it the more powerful it becomes." I explained, and we spent the rest of the trip is silence as we flew through the skies.

An hour hand passed and we had landed, when we got out of the carriage, we were in a large city on the side of a mountain.

"I thought you said it was at the base of the mountain?" I asked.

"Yes but first the princess wants to talk to you about your payment." They said as they lead me towards the castle , so I used my new spear as I walking stick as I followed them.

As we walked through the city I saw what I think we're nobles talking and walking through the streets.

So looked over at us, and I heard them talking quietly but I ignored them as we walked towards the castle.

After we got there the two of them talked to the guards at the gate, before we finally got inside, and they lead me or a room with a few different instruments.

"Stay here till the princess comes, she is currently dealing with other matters." They told me

After they left I thought. 'So she calls me here then she isn't here to meet me not a very good first impression.' I thought as I looked around to see a piano.

"Well it's better than just standing around doing nothing." I said as I sat down on the bench in front of it.

{Celestia POV}

"I believe we should get rid of the bounty hunters they have done nothing against the grimm's i believe my beloved my mercenary company might do more than they ever could." Gold Rush said he has bought, and created many companies over the years as the head of his household, and he only wanted the bounty hunters gone so people would hire his mercenaries.

"No Gold Rush the bounty hunters have done more against the grimm's then your mercenaries ever have, and a very new one showed he can stand against large groups of grimm's on his own." I said with a smile as I rested my head on my hand.

"That's impossible are you talking about that rumor?" He asked.

"It's true and he's here right now I have a proposition for him." I told Gold rush as Court was about to end.

"And it seems we're just about out of time." I said as I stood up from my throne.

"And what is this proposition?" Gold Rush asked as he crossed his arms.

"You'll see." I simply said as I walked out of the throne room.

I started heading towards the room I told the guards to lead him to, but as I approached I could hear music. (Just the first song)

I quietly entered the room, to see Winter playing the piano, he was just like Twilight letter described his long silver hair went all the way down his back, as it caught the sunlight from the window, making it appear it was sparkling as he played a relaxing song.

It was at the end of the song that I approached him. "Are you Winter Storm?" I asked, I already knew it was him, but I wanted to get his attention.

"Yes I heard you had a job for me." He said as he turned around.

"Well yes and no, first I want to make a deal with you." I said.

{Winter's POV}

'She wants to make a deal with me.' I thought as I looked at her. "And what does this deal intal?" I asked her.

"You would serve directly under me and my sister and answer to no one else, we would send you on missions all over the world to deal with grimm's, and we would pay you for your trouble." She explained.

"It sounds fair but can I add my own terms?" I asked.

"If they are reasonable." She told me so I took out the cylinder of dust.

"Yes my student Twilight told me what this was." She said surprised me that Twilight was her student.

"Well then that makes this easier you see this is currently the last of my dust, and with how common Twilight made it sound it would be simple for you to acquire them, all you would need to do to make them into dust is remove any impurities, and grind them up but they have to be in cylinders like this because in this state they can be highly explosive, but they are safe as you know in their raw state." I explained.

"Yes those are really common crystals, so is there anything else you want?" She asked me so I rubbed my chin.

"No not really but I'll let you know if I think of anything." I told her.

"So do you accept?" She asked me.

"Yes so now then I believe I have some Beowolves to deal with." I said as I stood up.

"Yes, and I would like to watch to see how you fight." She said, and I nodded.

"Ok and I'm going to be doing a test with my weapon." I said as we suddenly teleported at the bottom if the mountain, and I fell to my knees trying not to vomit.

"First time teleporting?" She asked, and I slowly nodded as I recovered.

I then stood back up on my feet, and asked. "So where are they?" I asked her.

"Just over there." She told me pointing to a few trees.

I walked past them to see a group of maybe 30 grimm's. 'Looks like I really going to have to do it." I said as I inserted the small cylinder of dust into the spear had as I started to make it soon as I combined the power of the dust with my semblance.

Soon a tornado of frost, and ice erupted from my spear, as it froze everything in its path, even the grimm were frozen would by the time it ended. I smiled as I looked over my handy work then looked behind me to see the surprised look on the princess's face.

"It's not as strong as my previous weapon but it gets the job done." I said as I recover the cylinder to see it empty.

"But as you see until I get more that is the last one I can do." I said as I put the bottom of the spear on the ground as I actually look how long it was the spear itself was as at total it was at least 7 feet long.

"So what do I get paid for getting rid of them?" I asked her.

"Your payment will be delivered to Rarity's." She said as I was suddenly back at the boutique, and it seemed that the third time was the charm, as i finally emptied the contents of my stomach
