A General Destiny
Chapter 6: War of the mind part 2: Revelations [Remastered]
Previous Chapter Next ChapterOutside of James mind
Celestia had been awake for most of the night while being unhealthy for a day time Alicorn,
such as for herself, she had been anxious lately about her sisters progress finding out if
James is the magic anomaly.
And if it is then it's probably nothing to worry about.. Of course unless..
Celestia saw that the time was up and as her duty calls she flips the time bottle, restarting the sand of time
once again, and raised the sun.
-Maybe he's a heavy sleeper..- Wondered Celestia.
A door opened and what came out of the door was that same tan pony that's been newly
clothed with some new outfit that Celestia had never seen before.
-Interesting set of outfit for a role.. We don't have that at all! Unless he sowed it himself..- thought Celestia.
Celestia trotted to James as he did a salute with his hoof in his forehead making himself
formal of his position. While it was unconventional to salute when your suppose to bow
she can make this a little exception.
Celestia nodded signaling at ease to the new commander as he dropped his foreleg back on the shiny
royal floor.
"Your up late." Joked Celestia while also having a bit of concern.
"Indeed I am since of course its better to be up then sleeping in for the day."
"Hehe.. Yeaa.." Laughed Celestia while also gulping at the same time considering that her sister
is still in that mind..
However she hatched a plan, she has the ability to go inside of mind too while being awake
but it could be dangerous especially the potential navigation of the mindset can be disastrous.
But it's that or her sister so she did a little tricky not in a mean way atleast.
But it is dangerous either way if the mind she's entering is a threat.. But then again this is not a threat.
But simply a pony who looked like he'd seen all wars in his lifetime.
"I have one more test for you." Said Celestia.
"Huh, alright what is it? Whatever it is I can do it." Asked James in a optimistic tone.
-Just like Twilight.- She joked to herself.
"I simply ask if you allow me in your mind." Asked Celestia.
"Uhhh... Excusemoi?"
"It's a test to see what you've been through... Through.."
"Life?" Suggested James.
"Yes! Life! Anyways please stand still an-"
"Yes." Interrupted James.
"Ok.. Well I'll see you when I get back BYE!"
And so Celestia vaporized into James head and with that James had seen in some books of Celestia
having the ability to go into others minds which sounded cool.
But as he sat, he realized one thing now knowing why Celestia was in his mind...
"Oh... Her sister was in my mind.. Huh.."
And so realizing that while he may have been tricked he knows it's for purposes of him
not panicking that Luna might get trapped but also the fact that he'd may have just
accidently imprisoned Luna just to get rid of a migraine.. Also Celestia might ending
up finding out that he's not from this world..
And so he appropriately said a famous speech when the founding fathers saw they were at war with
Britain.
"Well shit.."
Inside James Warzone Mind
Inside the mind during the incident, Jirech was placed in charge of helping and caring for Luna's wounds
since the doctor exposed a lot of things about James how he was a brilliant Strategist who defeat
the evil forces of Russia and even mentioned about him actually sparing enemies even if they didn't
deserved it..
Of course there was times were insubordination and incidents of going incognito had come into question
but that was when he was ordered to massecre civilians which the general public didn't know about and even
revealed it which angered the government but the United Nations and Dolan along with the
FBI stepped in and declared him a hero of humanity. While purging the high command for ordering along
with arrests carried out for those who followed through the orders.
When Luna listen at all the things he had done she realized that while he may have not been born
a pony but he sure showed that even in the midst of losing everything he did he wouldn't
commit horrendous atrocities.
Ashamed to say the rest of the enemies of equestria that was..
But anyways as Jirech was looking for the bullet as he placed his plyers inside of her wound.
He asked Luna.
"Does it hurt?"
"No it's fine just do your duty Mr. Jirech." Replied Luna, while keeping her pain inside.
"Heh I ain't no mister.. Since of course I'm the youngest of the bunch but doesn't mean
I can't start my own wars.."
Luna don't know how to react to that one. Especially since she's in the commanders mind that's in absolute
shambles and the fact that she met three out of five, despite confronting the other two,
of what looks to be his emotions.
"You know.. It makes me wonder how you ponies do it. Y' know being all happy.. Harmonic. Peaceful..
Its just weird to be in a place like that. Of course back in James home he used to lived in peace.
Of course before disasters occurred. Incidents.. Everywhere really.."
"Your world sound worrying.. How come it's like that?" Asked Luna
"Well we never know really.. Since most of everyone says that the Earth was cursed by the Creator of the universe and that we became imperfect because of one fruit. Some say evolution, Big bang, Global warming,
climate change.. It's not pretty to say the lease.. And every time we try to make it better it gets worse..
Like real worse!"
Luna felt sorrow to live in a world hopeless just to await death only to look back and say was it
really worth it? Luna patted Jirech as the two understood each other as he then went back
on removing the bullet from her wound.
"It wasn't always harmonic. Equestria and this world has it's ups and downs as well. Sure James
may even know it but I do like to ask one thing.." Asked Luna
"And what s that?" Responded Jirech.
"Is it true that they made a show out of- OUCH!" Yapped Luna
"Found it.. Oh uhh sorry lemme quickly patch that up." Apologized Jirech
"Its fine, I see how advance these.. Humans. Are in their weaponry." Persisted Luna.
"Yea.. But we also focus on new technics for other stuff like medical, Farming, Ect. Ect.
The whole shebang really." Joked Jirech.
Luna snickered to herself and Jirech since humanity has some characteristics to ponies while not mainly
harmonic they can do things both drastic and peacefully along with finding and discovering things that ponies never even thought of technically like the lost island of marelantis in the book she read.
But as Jirech placed some ointment in her hind leg injury the wound was now reduced to nothing.
"But.. How?" Asked Luna.
"Heh Imagination make up everything into a fact in here." Says Jirech.
As Jirech packed and picked up his things and Luna testing to see if the wound had actually healed up,
which it did, Aldreich and Doctor came through the door and lord they looked like they became hobo's.
Aldreich had changed his uniform as he looks like the average Warhammer 40k Commissar
and the Doctor looks like Dr. Strangelove. But of course Jirech basically looks like a Baldwin guy with medical and peaceful experience so.. Anyways.
Aldreich face was smoked black and Doctor rolled his chair and grabbed a flask secretly
full of alcoholic whisky as he jugged down.
"What happened?" Asked Luna.
"Well on our way of 'convincing' Soldier and Arthir.. Soldier now proclaims himself "a Strategic genius"
And Arthir called himself paraman. Which in honesty sounds dumb, but accurate for both.." Responded
Aldreich
"All that for push ups?" Questioned Jirech.
"Unfortunatel- *HICCUP* -y apparently these Dummkopfes are fighting ove- *HICCUP* -r
Territory.." Struggled the now Drunkened Doctor.
"So what now.." Asked Jirech.
"What now? Heh clearly they are gonna keep fighting until one of them is evicted or one of them gives
up that's what now. Not to mention they already at the brink of destroying
the center part of James brain.. Though however.."
"However?" Questioned Jirech.
"Princess Luna, when you first confronted them they actually allied against you for the sake of getting
rid of you could you maybe.. Just maybe."
"That would be a no. I'm sorry Aldreich but clearly you don't understand that even if I did confronted
there won't be a chance to win against them atleast in their grounds. Unless.."
"Unless what?" Asked Jirech.
"I get what she's about to- *HICCUP* to- *HICCUP* VERDAMMT CAN I STOP HICUPPING!
NIEN! NIEN! NIEN! NIEN! NIEN!!"
As the doctor beated his throat trying to stop hiccupping Luna continued on.
"My sister can out master anypony that tried to threaten Equestria.
From the most dangerous dictator to the warlords of evil she'd outmatch anypony who threaten our home."
"But we're not in Equestria.." Informed Aldreich.
"I know. But I am Equestrian and her sister." Corrected Luna
"Oh.. Wait.." Jirech realizes that Celestia might enter the mind but she might run into Arthir
and Soldier and out match them both which is the perfect formula for peace but only its against her.
"We best be hurrying then. Pack your things." Ordered Luna
As the three looked at the door and then stared at Luna.
"OUT THER*HICCUP*E!" Shouted all three.
Clearly while they can't die they don't want to constantly be lowered into the ground
and have smoke into their lungs as smoking is bad but Artillary smoking is worse especially in battlefields.
Also they don't want to be blown to smithereens..
"Don't worry I can shield us from the Artillary." Assured Luna
The three murmured in agreement as Jirech says.
"Well if you say so.. ONWARDS THEN! SO WE CAN STOP THIS WAR BEFORE IT GIVES BRAIN PROBLEMS
TO JAMES! AND ALSO TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO STOP WARS LIKE THESE!"
"Yay?" Said Luna.
Excluding the two as they pack some papers that are definently not wills of final testament.
And so onward the hero's goes as Luna opened the shield preventing shrapnel from
hitting them as they went through a field of war but that's before they see a flash of light.
"That's her?" Asked Doctor
Luna Responds. "That's her."
The Same town where Luna escaped from
In the imagined town it is in ruins from the agreed war zone to fight in, that Arthir and Soldier agreed
to fight.
Soon a green Sherman tank smashes through the building with it inside is the soldier
as he laughs in pride as he guns down Arthirs created soldiers.
"HAHAHA! Heheehe. Ahh I can't believe that Arthir fights me because of push ups only to change it
to 'changing territory' puh I'll show him in fact... I'LL SHOW THEM ALL!!" Yelled Soldier as the sound
of machine gun fire continues to pummel Arthirs forces.
But that was before Arthir shouts.
"HEY BITCH EAT A GRENADE WHILE YOUR LAUGHING! NYEH!"
Arthir threw the grenade as it landed inside the copit. Soldier shouted.
"MAKE WAY FOR ME ABANDON TANK!!!!"
She pilots of soldier got out including himself as the tank explodes to pieces.
"DAMMIT I'LL TEACH YOU!!" Yelled Soldier as he drew his pistol.
Soon the troops that where behind the tank came into formation as they loaded the magazines and
fixed bayonets and Arthirs men followed suit.
"TO THE DEATH!"
"TO THE DEATH!"
"CHA!!/ARGE!!!"
Soon the two sides charged at each other in full speed before a blinding light shined over them
which blinded the two sides.
However as the two sides were unblinded they see a white Alicorn.
"IT'S THAT BLUE ONE!! IT CHANGED!" Said a private
Arthir and Soldier who literally hates each other agreed by now that if they see the blue pony again
no matter what form or shape it took they'd allied as they both groan before finally Arthir shouted.
"FINE ONE MORE TRUCE THEN WE GO BACK TO KILLING THIS TIME!" Yelled Arthir
"FINE BY ME!" Shouted Soldier.
Celestia however overheard what they said as the two leaders shouted the command.
"ATTACK!!" Ordered the two leaders.
The troops lit the sky with bullets and anti aircraft munitions as they started soaring through the air aimed
at Celestia.
Celestia without hesitation dodged the bullets that the troops were firing at as she flew left
and right backwards and forwards loop the loop and back dropped as the troops then tried to
heat seek her with stinger missiles.
But they too failed as after they fired them she blew the rockets from reaching her and returned them to their
senders as troops duck and cover from the explosion that occurred next.
"THE HELL IS THAT TYPE OF PONY!" Yelled Soldier.
"I DON'T KNOW BUT IT'S LIKE IT'S INVINCIBLE!" Said A trooper.
"WE NEED MORE FIRE POWER THEN! CALL IN THE ARTILLARY!" Ordered Soldier
"YES SI-"
"DELAY THAT! ARE YOU NUTS! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA THAT IF THEY MISS THEY CAN HIT US!"
Shouted Arthir who was ducking with the soldier in the trench.
"I.. DON'T.. CARE.. ARTHIR! PROCEED WITH ORDER DAMMIT!" Ordered again Soldier
"YES SIR! MAUSER UNIT 04 QUASAR BRIGADE FIRE CONTROL COMMAND LIGHT IT UP!"
"Roger Quasar brigade lighting up the skies taking aim and firing for total effect."
"NO!" Shouted Arthir as he knew he was to late...
Soon the Howitzer artilleries rolled up on the hill as they are loaded with cluster bombs capable of napalming the area.
As the weapons raised it's guns pointed towards Celestia however she sensed the guns aiming for her.
But as she looked she realized that one, she just found the source of James headache, and secondly,
who are they? And what type of unseen weapons are they?? Clearly she doesn't know what they are
she clearly doesn't want them firing and so charging her horn she prepares a all out aura
beam attack as the troops manning the Artillary looked at it.
On the ground Soldier and Arthir sees the white pony charging with her shield on and clearly
they noticed she was aiming at the Artillary.
Soon Arthir grabbed the radio and shouted.
"GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE SHES AIMING FOR THE ARTILLARY! CANCEL ATTACK AND RUN!!"
Soon on the hill the troops heard and they all ran from the Artillary in time for
Celestia's strike as she fired her aura beam and destroyed the Artillary forcing the troops to go on the run.
Celestia then lands on the battle field and the troops charged at her before spreading her wings apart
as she charges up her magic for a combo attack, with her horn charged, she swings a wind slice of a paralyzing spell in which the troops were now froze into the spots they stand on. (No, they are not statues they are just stiffed
froze)
Celestia looked around as she sees the two doofuses frozen who tried to attack her as she
gave them a hostile glare as if saying 'you did this to yourselves'.
However they can still talk so Celestia angerly asked .
"What was the meaning of your attack!"
"Your a threat that's what!" Said Arthir.
"Yea and you kept annoying us with our battle."
Celestia was a bit confused. She didn't said anything on her way here, infact she just got here and already
she was already being attacked? She needed to know more of course that was before she heard movement
and she turned with her horned charged only to see it was her sister as her sister ran towards Celestia.
"Sister!"
"Luna!"
The two sisters hugged as Jirech looked at Aldreich.
"Me! :D"
"NO NO NO NO!" Shouted Aldreich as he is now crushed by human embrace.
And then Jirech strangled Aldreich in a bear hug as Aldreich looked in pain.
When Celestia and Luna finished their hug the two doofuses were dumbfounded. Technically they
mistaken the blue one to be a charged up evolved with pony only to see that they are separate..
Doctor, Jirech, and Aldreich came down towards the two Alicorn's as Celestia was even surprised as the type
of species they are. But Luna already knew what her sister was about to say.
"Sister this is Mr. Aldreich, Doctor, and young Jirech. Mr. Aldreich, Doctor, and young Jirech,
meet Celestia, my sister." Introduced Luna
"Greetings Anfuhrer Prinzessin it's glad to meet the head of the house of royalty." Greeted Doctor
As Doctor offered his hand though in difficulty Celestia probably doesn't know about human gestures so..
The Doctor didn't bother instead he shares a smile only it looked a bit ugly Celestia got the concept.
"It's nice to meet you too Mr. Doctor but I do wondered.. What are you?" Asked Celestia.
"Well I guess you can call us the wielders of emotion." Suggested Doctor
Celestia nodded as Luna looked at Aldreich as he nodded then went behind the group looking at Soldier and Arthir.
As he smiled seeing the two froze in a state of pose. It was the perfect karma for the two.
"Sooo.. Ready to give up on that war of yours?" Asked Aldreich.
"Fine.." Surrendered the two defeated duos.
"We have lots of discussion when we get back sister.. But first lets see if they are willing to
give up on their conflict entirely." Pointed Luna at the Two as they and the Warlings were unfrozen and with that
they left the area.
"Very well the two has lots of explaining for their actions here." Stated Celestia as she grabbed the two as prisoners.
Meanwhile in the Waking world
As James was still sitting on the floor waiting for Celestia and Luna to get out of his mind to resolve
the problem which started to take a bit longer he decided to occupy himself and got up and look at
some books that he thought that he wished to read since everyon- pony* wanted to read and soon
enough there was the history of Equestria. Not the world but its clearly better.
He sat down and read the history as he heard trotting before he sees a shadow over him.
"Heh I guess my sister isn't the only one who reads, but then again you probably like history."
Said the new pony.
James looked up and saw.
"Well! If it isn't Shining armor.. Well this is a surprise. So nice to meet you my name is."
"James, yes I heard about you I mean man you had passed all those courses? Even some ponies
couldn't made it in and I had only passed course four which obviously landed me in position of Lieutenant but that was before I was appointed the captain of the royal guard."
"Well in determination wise you always need to expect what you need to do.. So what brings you
here when you could be hanging out with your recently married wife?" Said James while
trying to hide the fact that he is not a human who watched the episode of Shining's 'incident'
with CadenZA and also the fact that its better to know events but not spill them out.
"Well I'm actually conducting a search in the castle.. Even Cadence is also helping me but anyways.
Have you seen Luna and Celestia?" Asked Armor.
Immediately James was now a bit stagnate clearly the kingdom is gonna look for the majesties
so what is he suppose to tell them?
James mind of what he thinks would happened if he answered
"Sooo I have them inside my mind.."
"YOU WHAT!"
"THEY WANTED TO COME INSIDE AN-"
"ARREST HIM!"
"VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!"
"WHAT THE FUCK!! THIS IS FRANCE?"
"WRONG IT'S THE REVOLUTION HON HON HON!"
"AHHHHHH!!! MY WORSE NIGHTMARE! FRENCH EQUESTRIANS!!"
-----------------------------------------------------------Snap back to reality James---------------------------------------------
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"
"Uhhh.. Are.. You alright?" Shining Asked.
"Uhhh I mean. I don't know.. I'M NOT SCARED OF FRENCH YOU ARE!" Responded James.
Shining was a bit eyed on that before he finished this.. Suddenly weird conversation..
"Right... Well I'll keep looking, also nice uniform very unique choice." Complimented Shining
"Yes.. Yes indeed.." Responded James.
"See you on duty... I guess."
Shining departed which Immediately makes James want to pound his head but then would that
hurt the princesses? If so then he might as well be cooked if not yet triggered a civilwar.
But he was assured of himself that they'll get out and he's sure and confident.
Back inside James mind: Central brain
It went on for 30 minutes and 24 seconds since the scolding started. The two sisters were not
happy with the fact that they tried to kill them with Celestia who is not that much of a rage fitter
actually scolded them worse for shooting her sister, while praising the three for rescuing Luna.
During the entire mess Aldreich and Jirech had just finished the treaty that they brought inside.
Celestia and Luna then walked out of the negotiation brain room as Aldreich and Jirech entered
the room.
"Well.. Atleast that puts a end to that." Said Luna.
"Atleast?" Teased Celestia.
"Well I guess you can say they won't be giving Mr. James anymore headaches." Finished Luna
"For now.." Entered Doctor
"Mr. Doctor? I thought you were gonna step out for a while?" Wondered Celestia.
"Alas.. Mien Weiblich I come with the part you should listen.." Said Doctor.
"About what?" Asked Celestia.
"Well as you may see when your sister said that you were getting disturbances on magic
I took up on the suspicion and well.. While it's not us.. It is one of us.." Said the Doctor
Celestia and Luna were now attentive as they wanted answers of why they have been getting these
disturbances lately and they may have just found their answer.
"So who is it?" Asked Luna.
"Sadly I could if that is I know who it is. But that to say its a danger.."
"Danger?"
"Yes danger.. And I'm afraid to say that one of them is not who you think they are.. For all we know
even I could be lying through my mouth saying this."
"So what type of danger is it exactly?" Asked Celestia.
"Everything terrible to even be thought of.. But all I can say is that James mind is a ticking time bomb..
And when the counter is on zero then you will know.."
Celestia and Luna are now disturbed.. A threat that's unimaginable? And from a mind of a brilliant
otherworldly being? It's clear that when Luna explained Celestia before negotiations
Celestia was a bit stunned before she agreed that he is the right choice even if he was from another
planet. But now hearing that James brain is a time bomb of mass destruction is clearly not gonna
deal it. But that might as well be saying your a good for nothing threat that shouldn't exist and he
is a very kind pony..
Celestia and Luna agreed on one thing though. Whatever it is. It's certainly is a threat mainly to James
and must be monitored even without consent.
"We will do what will be done. Thank you Doctor." Said Celestia
"Indeed. Welp! I better get to investigating this might be our last meeting as soon as those two
sign that treaty this brain will become a dream scape I do suggest you make your goodbyes."
Suggested Doctor.
"Very well it was a pleasure meeting you." Said Luna
"You too Weiblich until we meet."
And so the doctor leaves the room leaving the two with what came in next was the wielders.
They made their good byes quick as Jirech hugged the Two sisters, Aldreich nodding and Arthir
and Soldier Apologizing for the mess.
And so finally the two Alicorn sisters departed as they lit their horns and floated before
they disappeared back to the waking world.
And we are back into the outside world
As James finished reading almost the entire history of Equestria he started to get bored and worried
however as Shining came down the hall with two guards and another Alicorn it was clear that he will probably
start asking questions.
THAT WAS OF COURSE! Before the Alicorn sisters finally got out of his mind and made themselves known.
Shining and Cadence saw the whole thing but didn't questioned it just relived atleast of course before Luna
whispered.
"Stay."
And the two stood still as Luna nodded to the guards to leave in which they did.
"Soo.. How was the test?" Asked James amidst the silence.
"It went.. Well.... You may be dismissed and uh get some rest."
Ordered Celestia
James Saluted and joined the guards who were order to leave for the night since it was a dark but
also a stormy day and after all that ruckus he had to hear when the guards that went passed him kept asking
where Luna and Celestia is and he would respond with I don't know.
But anyways as James left, Luna and Celestia signaled Shining and Cadence to come into the throne room.
The four sat on the seats as Cadence and Shining were left wondering why they are summoned.
"It's clear you want to know what happened all day." Said Celestia.
"Well yea! Where were you two?" Asked Cadence
"Me and my sister were in James mind. Of course don't get mad at you as he clearly didn't know what would
have happened." Explained Celestia.
"So you were in James mind? Huh how come?" Asked Shining.
"Well for one it was clear that my sister was trapped in his mind on accident stumbling
some things.. But second what got me and my sisters attention was when we discovered there's something else
deeper than we both anticipated.." Celestia said Deeply
"Such as?"
"It's clear that James has a unstable magic disturbance and clearly a timer for something to happen."
Eased Celestia.
"So in other words?" Said Cadence
"In other words. Its worst than any we have faced before and whatever this threat that's happened
to have chosen James mind has clearly made rest in his mind.." Added Luna
Shining and Cadence have seen evil before especially since two days ago when Chrysalis nearly
ruined the wedding that was suppose to be perfect. Let alone Twilight figuring out that the faker
was Chrysalis who was behind it all in the scheme of things in which starting a chaotic attack.
But even then James was there when it was going down rescuing the entirety of the defense brigade
and now the same hero who happened to be drunk.. Was thrown in Twilight and her friends
room only to actually befriended them and then gaining rank of Head Commander of the Equestrian
armed forces in the same day? It was clear he was something else but.. Now hearing that he may be a threat
is very ironically bad itself.. And he actually bonded with him, for a couple minutes, and he seemed very nice.
"It's clear he is very nice and strategic.. Maybe even revolutionary but with himself here is a threat.."
Said Luna
"But there has to be another way?" Asked Shining.
"And there is.. Tomorrow morning he will be assigned with another pony a pony well known and can
keep vigilant." Said Celestia
"Well that's reassuring then may we go? It's been tiring looking around for you" Asked Armor.
"Very well good night." Responded Celestia.
As Shining and Cadence left the throne room Celestia and Luna looked at each other in concern
on the situation. As they both looked out the window of Celestia banishing her sister, with the mane
6 freeing Luna from her bondage of Nightmare moon, and the reunification between sisters.
Luna looked down while turning toward her sister.
"Will it work?" Asked Luna
"It has to Lulu.. It has to.."
The End of the Introduction Arc
