Omake: Fishing Spot
I sat by a pond, deep inside the Everfree. My chin was propped on my palm as my other hand held on to my fishing rod, something that I created using my [Mind Sword] skill.
Looking up to the sky, I glared. "Say one thing as a jest, then suddenly everyone wants to see it happen. I blame you all for this."
It was nighttime, and everypony else was asleep in their homes. Though some chose to sleep in their friend's houses since theirs were still under repair. It'll take a couple more days before we fix everything, maybe a little quicker if the princesses decide to help with their spells.
Currently I’m in my favorite fishing spot. I rarely ever go here, given that it was pretty deep into the forest, and was a bit too close to Canterlot for my liking. I always worried that Celestia would use her telescope to watch the glowing pond from her balcony when she gets bored.
There was a reason that this was my favorite Fishing Spot.
“RYU!”
“Great.” I sighed. “Let the fun begin.”
I didn’t move from where I was sitting when Celestia landed behind me. I could feel her glare on my back, or at least that’s that I think it was. There was a spot there that I think started to sizzle slightly when she touched down.
“You and I need to have a word, Ryu.”
Her tone was serious, with a slight hint of anger. But that did nothing to break my concentration over my fishing line. My eyes narrowed when something tugged it down.
“HIT!” I cheered.
I stood up from where I was sitting and pulled on my fishing pole with both hands. The one tugging at the end of the line was pretty heavy, and I grinned at the prospect of a big catch.
“Listen to me, Ryu!”
Oh shut up you prissy pony princess. I’ll deal with you once I get this one out of the water.
Partially transforming my arms, I began to pull harder.
“I’m here to talk about Spike.”
*SLAP!*
I blinked. The smile on my face remained frozen as I watched the ripples of the pond slowly disappear.
My arms were raised over my head, and my fishing line was completely pulled back. I may have pulled a little too hard on it.
Slowly, I turned around.
A trout thrashed at the end of my fishing line, its mouth still caught in the hook. Celestia was blinking rapidly, and her cheek was soaking wet.
“Did… Did you just slap me with a fish?” she asked.
Turning back to the pond, I recast my fishing line into the water without removing the trout. “Nay. T’was an accident.” I responded monotonously.
Thanks to my acute sense of hearing and the relative silence of the forest, I was able to hear Celestia’s mouth flapping without saying any word. When she finally stopped, she started again.
“Nevermind…” she said, sounding calmer now than she did earlier.
Something was tugging at my line again.
“About Spike-”
I pulled.
*SLAP!*
I didn’t even look this time and just recast my line back into the water, fish and all. I think the trout evolved, because what I saw going back to the water was a Rainbow Trout.
“Ryu!”
“Yes?” I responded calmly.
“That was on purpose!”
I snorted. “It was pulling on my line. What? Did you expect me to just let it be until you finished talking.”
“Even still!”
“Just say your piece and go.” I retorted. Come to think of it, that was probably her first time tasting the rainbow, even if it was from the Elements of Harmony.
Celestia made an unladylike growl, and I could feel her magic pulsing behind me. I don’t think she’ll attack, though. She’s too kind for that kind of act.
“It’s about Spike-” she said again.
My eyes widened and I pulled with all my might.
“Aha!” Celestia ducked under the fish, and I stared at it thrashing behind her. “I knew it!” she said, pointing one of her hooves at me.
My mouth opened and closed, and I pointed at the fish behind her. Celestia looked smug, though a little soak, but still was very smug.
Making my way closer to the pond, I looked into the water. The light that it was giving off from below made it impossible to see that bottom.
“Wait- AAAHHHH!!!”
Looking back to Celestia, I saw that the shark that I managed to pull out from the pond had her tail in its mouth and was chomping away at it. The princess then did something that most people do when they see a shark’s jaw coming at them: she tried to get away.
“AAHHHH!”
She ran around the pond in circles, screaming as the predator clung to her tail like a bear trap. I stepped over to the side to avoid her, watching as she ran in futility trying to get away.
I looked at the pond, then my fishing pole.
Shrugging my shoulders, I recast my line and started fishing again.
“Help me!” the pony princess cried.
Being a princess where her castle was pretty much in the middle of the nation, she probably hasn’t had much encounter with sea creatures, and the sight of the shark was pretty scary.
Something was tugging again.
“AHHH!”
Oh, a Marlin! How rare, and pretty good quality, too, its snout stabbed straight through a tree. Impressive.
I recast my line again.
“Ryu!” came Celestia’s plea.
I heaved at my fishing pole and pulled out the next fish.
*SLAP!*
“AHH!”
Bluefin Tuna! Lovely! Next.
*SLAP!*
“Oof!”
Mackerel. Bah, I could do better. Next.
*SLAP!*
Salmon!
*Whack!*
Catfish!
*BOOM!*
WHALE! YES!
“Sister, what is happening!”
Oh, it looks like Luna’s here, too. Let me give her something as well. Hup!
“Wah! Wait, is this-! Tentacles! Sister, I see tentacles everywhere!”
With an octopus hugging her face, Luna soon joined Celestia in running around the pond.
Hehe. This is getting fun. Let’s see what I’ll pull out next.
“Hm? Oh, Kaiser, hello!”
Moving closer to the water, I pushed Agua’s massive head back inside. The Elder Dragon of Water tittered when I touched her.
“Eenope!”
This Fishing Spot, there’s a reason why it was my favorite: you could practically pull anything out of it. I just didn’t think that ‘Anything’ covered such a broad concept.
Dismissing my fishing pole, I turned around and started walking away. “Nope, nope, nope. That’s enough fishing for tonight.”
I stopped for a moment and allowed for Celestia and Luna to pass by. The Solar Princess still had the shark on her tail, while the Lunar Princess was screaming about tentacles with the octopus still clinging to her face.
Then, watching calmly, my eyes followed the line of fishes that I pulled out from the pond, following the two princesses. They were hopping along the ground and were covering enough distance to keep up with the two ponies.
When my path was clear, I started walking again. “This night just turned weird.”
“Whoa!”
And there goes Steven.
“Steven!”
Followed by his gem guardians.
…
…
...
I’m not even going to comment on how I knew them. I hope Big Mac still has some hard cider in his stash.
“Guys look! A pony with a fish tail!”
I didn’t look back. I just ran through the forest and left all of that madness behind me.

Pfft hahahahaa
That was hilarious.
Pfffffff. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA*Four hours later* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You sir, are awesome.
Now this is hilarious!!
Darn I wanted to thumbs up it again for this chapter!
5919528 I know. Now to read the Omake.
Omake was great!
Slapstick.
Lmao. This is glorious. You are glorious.
This feels like an "Alucard moment". No one died though, why does it feel like a "VERY enthusiastic walk through the woods"? Teamfoutstar's Alucard would be proud, I think!
God, Ryu is an ass. But this time, in a good way.
5920163 ha ha ha very funny,
5920298 Dat JonTron doe...
And proud of it
I thought I deleted my comment about the whale... still freaking hilarious.
Okay, that was funny. Also, I think that lake is made of magic. That is the only way I will believe that this actually happened.
Congratulations, you just unlocked the following Achievements:
Fish Face - Hit Celestia with a fish.
Jaws - Have Celestia be caught by a shark.
Aquarium - Caught a different type of fish each try.
Tentacle Face - Throw a octopus at one of the Princesses.
Elder Dragon - Fish out Agua.
Uncle Grandpa - Multiverse Break.
I wonder what will happen in the next chapter.
5920577 It may or may not have been affected by Discord.
5921372 Knowing him, he got bored and decided to go fishing one day. Then he caught the blue Elder dragon at the time because Discord. He then smartly noped the fuck out of there.
5921411 Ehh probably true.
....Oh god...I can't stop laughing......Ryu is a genius with the fishing pole! Then water dragon and the NOpe train arrives to whisk our favorite snarky dragon hybrid away with such skill and grace....As Lulu and Tia are still looking like headless chickens running around the fishing hole... I whole heartedly applaud you and can't wait to see what happens when AJ finds out Ryu took her fish slapping advice seriously.
5920435 AYE! We are very proud of this fact and will do so again when given the chance!
Fantastic.
Steven with crystal guardiams.....is that some OC from another story like in "chess of gods" stories?
5927368
They're from another cartoon: Steven universe. They're just a little cameo that I thought I'd add in there.
XD BEST CHAPTER SO FAR!!!
MORE
Steven the serpent, or Steven Universe?

... What da fuck kind of pond is this?
It's not pond sea world, is it?
I've seen enough hentai to know where this is goi- *SLAP* *THWOMP*
5976472
It's a pond that's connected to random bodies of water. For more information, just go with: Blame it on Discord.

Ryu's a prejudice asshole. If it's about the dragons of the MLPverse then don't expect him to praise them too much. Only six, so far, have gained his respect, and even then he's still an asshole to them.
5976334
Ah. Now this is beautiful. Ryu is nothing a a mess of contradictions, but then again what human isn't? You'll see him do and say one thing, then you see him do the opposite later on. Is it him being senile, or is it just me and my bad writing?
Ryu's just... old. Seriously, he's ancient by human standards. He goes on and on about his experience, doing this and that. He may as well start with the words "Back in my day--" blah blah blah.
See, I like the way you pointed out what he did. I like the way you pointed out his flaws.
Let's try to imagine living as long as him. Would we end up like him? Maybe, maybe not, but with the way he is, it's safe to say that Time really took its toll on him. Thus he needed to adapt, he needed to cope.
You're right, though. He'll never admit this to anyone, or even to himself (because he doesn't even see it), but some of the convictions of his are just a result of him cracking. He freakin ate Gryphons and Dragons, sapient species, for crying out loud. What sick bastard does that? He even said that they tasted good.
There's also his fanaticism. Creepy shit to a disturbing level. So long as the ones he calls family are safe, everyone else can go fuck themselves, apparently. There's also his problem of hoarding more family.
Wow, what the hell am I writing here?
But in the end, if you point out all of his flaws and all the bad things that he's done, all you'll really see is a psychopath with an overly possessive personality. And no, I'm not denying that. He really is that.
He's already on the cliff that would lead him to madness. Really, all he needs is just one more push.
Edit: Make that Sociopath, not psychopath.
5976472 It's a magical pond where you can fish anything out of it
*gulp*
really loving the story (just started today..yesterday..is it really 1:30AM?
well there went my whole day) and can't wait for more updates 
)
specially loved the omake with the magic pond. thankfully not the same as the duplicating mirror pond (that is a HAX that probably helped discored drive everybeing bonkers
keep up the good work! can't wait for more!
Is Ryu going to use any of his other Dragon powers or forms?
their friends' houses (plural possessive)
'Twas (apostrophe goes where the letter was removed...and yes, I checked, still capitalized.)
Questions should have question marks.
should be commas.
I like it. Could perhaps have used a shrubbery.
*gasp*.......*huff*.......*huff*.....h-help me u-up....Laughter...t-too m-much..!!!
Absolutely perfect
“Guys look! A pony with a fish tail!” Shoo bee doo! Shoo shoo bee doo.
