I climbed out of the hole as fast as I could, a few arrows hit me, but bounced off my armor. When I reached the top, I was greeted with a sight of strange bird and lion creatures. The front half was a bird, while the back half was an eagle. A few had crossbows, and most had some sort of blade with them. I brought my claymore to bear as i blocked a downward strike from a flying griffin, our blades meeting in a cascade of sparks. I swung the locked blades to the side and landed a vicious hold on the griffin's head with my other hand. the griffin dropped the sword and clutched at my hand, desperately trying to get it off.
"The thing about working for the wrong people." My hand slowly started crushing the griffin's head, I could feel his skull flexing inward.
"You're EXPENDABLE!"
The griffin gave one last cry before his head splattered into a bloody pulp in my hand. Grey matter leaking from my fingertips.
I turned my gaze back to the army, only to see them cowering in fear and shock. I guessed their numbers at about a hundred or so.
I brought my claymore to bear again, staring directly into the crowd.
All at once they charged, their numbers bringing their full weight. I swung my blade, cleaving a griffin in half, then i brought it down into the head of another. I whipped around and caught an incoming blade, snapping it and tossing the rest into the crowd. I dropped low and delivered a sweep kick to those around me, sending several bodies to the ground.
I used this opening to jump straight into the crowd, blood and gore covering me as I screamed in fury, and swung my blade. I delivered a deadly kick to the face of a griffin, the bone crunching on impact. My fist plowed through the skull of another, brain matter exploding out the back. Their numbers began to falter, I had slain about thirty or so already, and I planned to kill more.
I yelled in primal rage as I put even more force into the slaughter, my blade cleaving into my foes with a vicious hunger. I killed so many, their cries of terror and pleads for mercy brought bliss to me. Blood and brains and guts covered me like a second skin, underneath it all, I smiled.
Finally, the last griffin fell to my blade, his cries for mercy falling on deaf ears as I split his skull down the middle. I gazed upon the feline creature, it's eyes wide in fear, he began begging for mercy and throwing small golden coins at my feet. I simply stared at him, his eyes lost their fear and regained a glimmer of hope. I saw through the reflection in his eyes, a wounded griffin sneak up behind me, raising it's blade high for a sneaky backstab.
Those same eyes lost all hope when I grabbed the griffin's throat and squeezed until it's eyes burst in a shower of gore.
He spoke something, his voice quivering in fear.
"What are you?"
I looked at him with all the fury I could muster.
"I am the End, the Destruction, the Fire, the Hate, The Rage!"
He began cowering back, his paws scooting himself back as he tried to escape my fury.
"I AM DEATH!"
He cried, turned and ran into the forest, tears and bubbling madness disappearing with him into the forest.
I watched him run off, before turning back to the pegasus behind me, all I saw was a quivering safari hat on top of a bush. As I made my way towards the bush, the quivering stopped, and a bag of gold was thrown out, followed by a scared voice.
"P-P-Please! I didn't want to hurt you! J-J-Just take the money and go! Please!"
I kneeled down to the quivering bush, my hand reaching out to the bag and grasping it.
"Tell any who pass by you, HK48 is back."
The bush jolted as i caught sight of the pony flying straight up into the air, screaming like a madman.
I walked back to where the feline was, gathered the gold, and set off. I made a plan as I set off in the direction to what I could see was a small little town.
I continued walking as I set up my plan.
Step 1: Find crashed ship.
Step 2: Fix crashed ship to fly.
Step 3: Buy some booze.
Step 4: Hire a fucking hooker, I ain't been laid in fucking forever.
Step 5: Inform Princesses of return.
Step 6: Buy even more booze.
Step 8: Explore crashed ship for useful items.
Step 9: Have a fucking party, I'm feeling good.
Step 10: Get fucked up at said party.
I smiled as I completed my plan, I folded my armor back into my spine, feeling the plates shift under each other until they aligned to my spine. I Pulled up the pistol I had, and examined it again.
It was a dark gray, almost silver. It had no magazine port, but the trigger was still there. I thought 'What the hell' And brought it to bear against a nearby tree. The gun retorted with a loud bang and in a flash, the tree was burned away, a deep gash was left smoking where the bark and tree meat was before. I was about to question the weapon until a familiar voice sounded in my head.
'Weapon uses the planet's magnetic field to agitate a small amount of metal sheared off the block of metal where the magazine port would normally be. When block is depleted, replace block with another block of metal. Metals usable and classifications are as follows.
Steel-Full metal jacket.
Brass-Shrapnel ammunition.
Copper-High explosive.
Tungsten-Armor piercing.
Gold-Electric, non lethal ammunition.
Shooting crystals will have an unknown effect.'
"Well, what do you know."
I continued waling into the woods, never changing course so I would arrive at the town. Soon though, I began to detect flapping, lots of flapping.
A scent I recognized met my scent glands. Soon, in a spray of dirt and rocks, and one hell of a hug. Was Princess Celestia, the other Alicorn, and a contingency of royal guards. When Celestia parted the hug, she had tears flowing down her eyes.
"By Faust, I thought you dead!"
