> Elements of Protection: Respect; Emotionless freak > by Outlaw > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Unleashed > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Emotionless freak Unleashed - Edited Version The lab is in flames, broken equipment and destroyed glass scattered around the floor. Ponies’ insides lie on the floor, indicating a slaughter not too long ago. In the center of this wreckage, there is one young pegasus humanoid. He walks on two hooves and has the build of a pony. His hands and his way of walking shows that he is different from a normal pony, no matter how much he resembles one. He is very muscular. On his silver-grey skin, his spiky, blood-red mane hangs down to his ears. All he has is a chain around his neck... a chain that will save so many lives, and yet will demand others as payment. He is no ordinary pony. He is a creation of death, slayer of royalties and a force of nature. His name is... Bloodbeast. * * * When Bloodbeast woke up from his birthday memories, he found himself at a small lake by the edge of a forest. The bright, shining sun began to rise and let Bloodbeast take in his surrounding in more detail. The spring air and a ring of flowers surrounded the lake in a multitude of colours. A family of ducks were playing in the center of the lake and a tree cast its shadow over Bloodbeast. It was just like his life. In the happy land of Equestria, he was the shadow that loomed over the land. He shouldn't have ever existed... and yet here he was. The thing about him was that he was emotionless, unlike everyone else. He couldn't feel anything; he was an empty shell. In return, it made him the best at what he did: killing. He was created an assassin, a murderer with no guilt or shame. The thought made him remember his birth. * * * "But sir, are you sure that he can be controlled?" He heard a far-off voice ask nervously. "He's just a emotionless freak without a mind of his own. Of course we can control him." A cocky and mean sounding voice replied to the other. "He's the perfect assassin and in our control, we can take over Equestria by just standing aside and let him do the dirty work for us." A sudden realization struck Bloodbeast. He was being used by a power hungry freak who wanted to rule the world, and Bloodbeast didn't like that at all. A small amount of power activated his body. "Sir, the body..." He heard the nervous one exclaim. "What is it?!!" The cocky one asked. "It’s alive." The nervous one freaked out as he spoke. "We need to make the changes to control him or else we're doomed." "Shut him down, quickly!" he heard the cocky one say. Bloodbeast could now hear a taste of panic in his voice. "I'm trying, sir..." the nervous one said as he started to push some buttons, but it was too late. Bloodbeast opened his eyes. * * * He looked down at his hands. The ones he had used to murder everyone in the facility. He had snapped necks, broke skulls and ripped out hearts with just those hands. And he had no problem with it, he couldn't care less if they had a family or even a relationship. He was a bloody assassin, a machine of death that couldn't be stopped. Bloodbeast looked down at the lake; a silver-gray face with a scar over his left eye greeted him. A guard had almost gotten him back at the facility, sneaking up on him and slashing towards his head with a knife. If Bloodbeast hadn't jumped out of the way, he wouldn't have been able to sit by the lake and look at his expressionless face right now. "Lucky fuck," He said to himself before he picked up a t-shirt that said: ‘Who says that I have to be normal?’, and opened up a map. As he gazed around on it, he found a small town called Ponyville. "5 miles from here, worth to check out..." he said to himself and took off towards Ponyville. If he couldn't stay there, then he sure wouldn't know where to go. He took up an iPod and put up a song as he walked through the forest path. * * * Pinkie Pie woke up to one of her classic predictions, her body moving before the arms began to shake. This was a rare one, it only happened once in awhile. She broke up in a smile and cheered out, "OH MY GOSH, A NEWCOMER IS COMING TO PONYVILLE!!!" * * * Bloodbeast sat at a bench and looked at the park. There were three young girls that tried to run over water, which only resulted in a failed dive; a vanilla and a green mint coloured couple sat at a bench and looked around just like him. A cross-eyed pegasus flew over them before she crashed into a tree. "So far, so good..." he thought, the locals had treated him as one of them. They were extremely nice and cheerful. He would be grateful if it wasn't for his problem. "Hiya there!" he heard a cheerful voice as he turned around to face a pink girl with curly hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a pink top and long jeans, with a big smile on her face. "I'm Pinkie Pie, I haven't seen you around here before" she began to talk as she took a place at his side. *gasp* “That must mean that you're new in Ponyville, because I know everyone in Ponyville and I don't know you..." The pink girl kept on talking, but Bloodbeast lost himself after a while with a question. "Where does she get all the air?" he thought to himself before returning to the conversation. "...I've got to throw you a party later so that you can make some friends. Anyway, what's your name?" Pinkie pie asked. "I'm Bloodbeast." he answered and held out a hand. "Oh, that's a cool name!" she said excited." Are you a thug, or maybe a bounty-hunter,or maybe..." "I'm an ex-assassin!" he cut her off; seeing no point in lying to her. "They created me without emotions to be the best, but they forgot to not give me a brain. I killed them as soon as I was born." He expected her to freak out but instead, she looked upon him with a finger under her chin. "Emotionless?" She said with a smug grin. "Then you won't mind if I START TO TICKLE YOU?!!" She began to tickle him as best as she could, trying to make him show anger or happiness. However, he just looked down at her with an unamused glare. "Okay... so you were right about anger and happiness," Pinkie said as she backed off a bit. "Hmm... How about embarrassment?" She leaned in and kissed him, right on the lips. A small blush formed around Pinkies face and Bloodbeast could taste a small trace of cotton candy. This caught Bloodbeast by a surprise but he didn't show a sign of embarrassment or amusement. But Pinkie Pie wasn't giving up that easily. She slipped her tongue into his mouth and slowly began to wrestle with his tongue. Bloodbeast knew that she wouldn't quit for awhile so he began to wrestle with her tongue as well but more roughly. This caused Pinkie Pie to open her eyes in shock, this wasn't how she had planned her greeting. But she sure didn't mind; after she broke the kiss, she looked upon him with a blush on her face. "Wow, you're better than I thought" she said surprised and awkwardness filled the air. At least for Pinkie Pie. Bloodbeast was just looking at her. He saw that he had done something that made her blush. He began to think of something to say to cheer her up. "Uhm... You taste like cotton candy" he slipped out, causing Pinkie Pie to giggle. Suddenly, a orange earth-pony girl with a cowboy-hat ran up to Pinkie Pie. "Pinkie, we gotta hurry, there's a manticore loose in town!" she said in panic, not even noticing Bloodbeast. "Oh no, I've got to run BB...BB?!!" Pinkie Pie began to look around after Bloodbeast, who was running towards the panic. * * * "LOOK OUT, DASH!" Twilight screamed to her cyan friend. As the pegasus looked around, she was hit by the paw of the manticore and was tossed back. After she hit the ground, her friends could see that she had a couple of wounds and bruises as she slowly began to crawl up to them. "Are you okay?" Fluttershy asked her as she ran up and dragged her friend away from the monster. "Yeah I'm fine, I'm just not fit to fight now..." She groaned as she held her hand over a wound. Suddenly, a silver-gray pegasus ran towards the manticore with his fist in the air. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" Dash shouted towards him but he didn't listen. He just charged towards the manticore. As soon as it turned around, he punched it in the gut. The manticore backed up a bit, Bloodbeast used this moment to take his trump card into the game. As soon as he threw the chain to the ground, his skin started to creep away from his arms which revealed the metal that covered his insides. Then the arms began to form themselves, his fingers forged together as the skeleton slowly formed his arms to a pair of blades. He waited until the manticore made a charge with its paws, then he made a quick slide to the left and sliced the manticores paws off. The manticore growled in pain and began to use his tail for attacking Bloodbeast. This was how he wanted it... Suddenly, the tail flew towards his face. He made a quick skate to the left as he turned the blades back to his arms, he grabbed the scorpion tail and used the momentum as he span around. Then he let go of the tail as it stabbed the manticore in its chest. It made one final growl, whimpering in pain, before the poison paralyzed it and the manticore dropped down dead. Bloodbeast looked at it, before he turned around to see five shocked girls and a butter-yellow pegasus that looked away with her head in her hands. He picked up the chain, put it around his neck and went over to them. As he went up to them, he recognised two of them: Pinkie and the farmer. "Uhm... Nice job." the cyan pegasus said. "Wish that I could say the same to you." he responded. "And what's that supposed to mean?" She said, offended to his response. "That you can't fight." he said, showing no regret from his insults. "Son of a..." She said before her wounds came to play. "Great; another jerk is in town, Equestria is doomed." Bloodbeast looked around at the laughing crowd. He couldn’t see anything more ironic. He took a deep breath, got the crowds attention, and spoke the truth. "Yes, it is..." > Why? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- M Why? "Why am I here?" Bloodbeast asked a unicorn crawling away from him. His suit would have looked quite formal if it weren’t for the tears and holes that had been recently created. "Now calm down!" The unicorn exclaimed, coughing up blood. "I'm your creator and you treat me like this?!" "You are not in a position to threaten me,” Bloodbeast said as he watched the dying unicorn. "If I'm a creation then where are my files?" "I would never tell you!" the unicorn said, filled with anger. Bloodbeast walked up to the shadowed unicorn and lifted him up with a tight grip around his throat, revealing the black coat and tuxedo. "Where...are...my...files?" he asked. "On...the computer." The black unicorn coughed and gasped for air. Bloodbeast tossed him to the ground and walked up to the computer, taking the laptop and then he went back to the unicorn. "Now that I've got my answers, I'm not going to need you." Bloodbeast morphed his arm into a blade, resting it on the unicorn’s shoulder. "What?!! Wait, hold on!!!" The unicorn screamed in panic. "I created you. I'm your father,. Nobody in their right mind should treat their father like this, would they?!" "You’re right, nobody in their right mind would do such a thing..." Bloodbeast said before he rose the blade to the unicorns throat, locking eyes one last time. Before the unicorn could react, Bloodbeast had swung the blade and decapitated him in a split second. * * * "Why?" Bloodbeast heard a white unicorn ask in shock. He snapped back into reality. "Why would Equestria be doomed?" "I've got more blood on my hands than everyone else in the world." Bloodbeast answered."The chain controls my powers and without it, I go on a killing rampage." "A killing rampage, are you a..." She began to ask in fear. "An assassin..." Pinkie pie finished." He told me that" "She's right, but I quit once I knew my target." Bloodbeast said. "And that was?" The cyan pegasus asked meanwhile she held over her wound. "The princesses..." Bloodbeast said and a shocked gasp echoed through the area. "Now that has to be a lie!!!" Twilight said and everyone else agreed, except the orange farmer. "Uhm...gals, he ain't lying." she exclaimed. "What do you mean Applejack?" The cyan pegasus, asked her friend. "Ah'm the element of honesty, remember, ah could see if he was lying." She said and turned her face towards Bloodbeast."He's not lying, Rainbow." A moment of silence filled the air, with everyones eyes on Bloodbeast who just waited for their judgement. Suddenly, the yellow pegasus walked up to him with anger in her eyes. Bloodbeast knew that this could be bad news for him. "Why did you kill it, YOU...BIG....DUMB....MEANIE?!!" She shouted at him, he swore that he could see flames behind her." IF YOU HADN'T KILLED IT, THEN IT WOULD BE RUNNING FREE IN THE FOREST!!!" "The manticore was dead anyway, I did it a favor." He responded calmly, not backing down from her rage. "YOU SICK...EMOTIONLESS...FREAK!!!" The yellow pegasus shouted as she reached out a hand to slap him. However, her hand was caught by Bloodbeast as he looked at her and slowly shook his head. Another moment of silence filled the air, until Pinkie Pie started to laugh hysterically. "What's so funny?" Rainbow Dash asked her. "I-I'm sorry, but she's actually right." Pinkie giggled." He is emotionless; I tried to tickle him, annoy him, telling him stories and I even kissed him." This caused her friends to blush and gaze over to Bloodbeast, who just shrugged. "She did." he answered their suspicions."She wanted to see if I could feel embarrassment, it worked on her but not on me." This made Pinkie blush as she remembered the kiss. "Uhm...IbettertakeDashtothehospitals eeyouaround!" she hesitated and dragged the wounded Rainbow Dash away, ignoring her protests. Everyone looked after the path that Pinkie had went off. "Is she always that weird?" Bloodbeast asked. "Yeah, but this is new, even for Pinkie." Applejack answered. Bloodbeast shrugged, if that was how she was then that's how she was. Fluttershy looked away in disgust as he eyed her up, he could tell that she liked animals. She could potentially mean trouble. "Hey, I could have paralyzed it and thrown him into the woods, the problem was that it would return. If a manticore is away from its territory for a while, it will start to look for a new territory to claim as its own. " Bloodbeast explained to her."That manticore was too dangerous, it would just return and terrorize everyone. Like it or not, that manticore is in a better place now." Fluttershy held back her tears, she knew that it was true but he had brutally killed it without any sign of guilt. "Please...just go." She sobbed a bit as she pushed him away." I have to bury the body." "Uhm...I have to write a letter to princess Celestia about these news. You and Applejack better come along." Twilight said to Bloodbeast. "Why me?" Applejack asked. "I need to see if he lies or anything." Twilight said suspiciously. "Fair enough, let's go." Bloodbeast said and began to follow Twilight. * * * "Pinkie, what's gotten into you?" Rainbow Dash asked her friend, as she walked by her side."Kissing a stranger to see if he could feel embarrassment and then blushing when he mentions it, what’s going on?" "It's nothing, nothing at all, I'm fine." Pinkie lied, blushing profusely. Something in that lie, made it click in Rainbows mind, Pinkie Pie were hiding something."So tell me, how was that kiss?" She asked, preparing to catch her confession. "Uhm, for being a emotionless guy, he's a very good kisser." she said." Slow but not cowardly, rough but still with a lot of passion..." "Sounds like you have a crush on him." Rainbow said with a smile. "What?!! No I don't have a crush on that guy!" Pinkie screamed, surprised from the statement. "Okay, so then you won't mind if I take him?" Rainbow said before she was grabbed by her jacket. "You...don't....touch....him" she growled, before she noticed her friend's smug grin and realized what she had done." Darn it, I did it again, didn't I?" "Yep, you confessed." Rainbow said with a smile. "Okay, I like him a lot, he's different from everyone else," she said. "So, what did he say after the kiss?" Rainbow asked. "He said that I taste like cotton candy." She said before Rainbow Dash broke out in laughter. "Wooow that was cheesy." She said between the giggles. "Yes, it was." She said but adding in her thought" But it was kinda cute as well" "Well, you have a crush on an emotionless assassin," Rainbow said with a shrug." but it's still an improvement from your last crush." "Ugh...don't remind me." she grunted, trying to keep that memory out of her head. "Just, be careful with this guy." Rainbow said, concerned. "He's emotionless, remember that!" * * * "Spike, I'm home!" Twilight shouted out as they entered her house."Make yourself at home, I'll get some paper and ink." "Nice house, definitely better than mine." Bloodbeast responded. "Really?" Applejack asked as she took a seat in the sofa. "It's a long story, I'll wait with it until it's time." He responded and took a place at her side. "Alright, but if ya' ever feel like to talk about it then ah'm all ears sugarcube." She said, Bloodbeast could see the truth behind net her eyes. "So we're not going to see each other again?" Bloodbeast said, this brought Applejacks hand to her forehead. "Ya' know what I meant..." she sighed. "Yes I know." he responded, not changing the expression on his face. After that Twilight and Spike entered the room. The dragon was tall for his age, barely shorter than Bloodbeast. He observed Bloodbeast and Applejack on the couch, seeing how close they sat together and made a classic mistake. "Wow AJ, you never told me that you got yourself a colt-friend, congratulations." he said and shook her hand. "She's not my mare-friend. We just met but I could never feel anything for her." Bloodbeast answered instead of a shocked Applejack. "Yeah that's...HEY, WHATCHA MEAN BY..." Applejack said, offended, before she realized who she was dealing with. "...right." Spike looked at them as Applejack hopped a bit away from the colt. "Oops, my mistake." he said and brought up the paper. "Well Twilight, talk away." "All right. Bloodbeast, you correct me if I'm wrong at any point," Twilight said. "Okay, let's do this" He responded. Dear Princess Celestia, Today we have discovered a colt that says he is created by a group that plans to take your place... "Not planning anymore, I killed them all." Bloodbeast said. Twilight gazed over to Applejack who shrugged. "He's not lying." she said. ...planned to take your place as the ruler of Equestria. The organization was leaded by a unicorn with a biological background, using cells to create clones with deadly weapons. However, this colt has a dangerous trait and used it to kill everyone in that base. He was supposed to kill you and your sister but he turned his back on them. He has two blades in his arms and his emotional system is removed. That may sound crazy but it's true, he killed a manticore without hesitation. He says that his chain is a key to his powers and they can only be active through removal of the chain. However, if the chain remains away from him for too long, then he'll go insane and... "Just write 'fall to his bloodlust', it's a more... accurate description," Bloodbeast said. "Got it." Spike said. ... then he'll fall to his bloodlust and start to kill. We seek advice of what we should do with him. Awaiting response as soon as possible. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle "...Sparkle, done." Spike said as he rolled up the letter. "Send it away." Twilight said and Spike burned it up, using the green flames. "I thought she said, ‘send it’ not ‘burn it’," Bloodbeast said as he observed the disappearing letter. "No, that's how we send letters around here." Twilight sighed, explaining. "Through dragonfire?" He responded. "Interesting, how does it work?" "Easy, it...uhm...it..." Twilight grumbled on the question. "Let me guess, you don't have a clue." > Unformal formality > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unformal formality Dear Twilight Sparkle: Your newest discovery has certainly piqued my interest. I would like to have a talk with him and see if he's as dangerous as you say he is. I'll be arriving at Ponyville as soon as I can; I expect him to be treated like everyone else in the town. I'll expect a new friendship report soon, just so you know. We will meet soon. Princess Celestia P.S: Try to stop Spike from trying out any more dangerous stunts to impress Rarity. I don't want to hear about another shark incident. Twilight sat in her house and read the letter she received two days ago, during the strange and hectic weekend. From the manticore to Bloodbeast’s confession, she had never experienced anything crazier than that, and she was friends with Pinkie Pie. Twilight didn't know if she could trust him, since he was created to destroy her mentor. She did, however, trust Celestia. Celestia was always making decisions, which mostly resulted in the safety of Equestria. Twilight knew that she would make the right call. However, this was the time that the princess's arrival with her guards had been confirmed. She rose up from her spot and walked out of her door. It wasn’t raining, but it was still cloudy, thanks to Rainbow Dash's laziness. The street was packed as usual. Spike had taken Bloodbeast out for some ‘guy talk’ as he called it, and Twilight remembered that he had mentioned going over to Sugarcube Corner. She started to walk into the crowd to gather the crew. "So yeah, the sharks went to hell." Spike said, with a nervous chuckle, as he took another sip of his soda. "Serves you right, for kidnapping them from the zoo." Bloodbeast said with a shrug. "You should be glad that it wasn't worse." "Heh, you sound like Twilight." Spike chuckled, before he put on a serious expression. "But I've got to ask you something, just between us guys." Bloodbeast looked at Spike, ignoring Pinkie Pie in the background that gave him a wink. "Sure," he said."Ask away." Spike sighed before he asked, "Should I forget about Rarity? I know that she's always kind to me and all, but it never really went further than a kiss on the cheek or a simple hug." "Probably, but what would I know? I've never had any kind of romantic feeling. The closest to a romantic act that I've ever done is to make out with that pink girl over there." "Thanks man...WAIT WHAT?!!" Spike screamed out, in shock." YOU MADE OUT WITH PINKIE PIE?!!" "Umm... Yeah, is it a bad thing?" Bloodbeast asked, toneless as usual. "N-NO, BUT I THOUGHT YOU WERE EMOTIONLESS?!!" Spike asked again, still shocked from the news. "You can tell her that. She got the jump on me." He responded calmly. Spike looked in shock, disgust and amusement at Bloodbeast. "That was supposed to be a joke." Bloodbeast said. Spike stared at him before he broke out in a nervous chuckle. "Heheh, that was so bad it was actually kind of funny," Spike exclaimed nervously. However, Bloodbeast just gave a shrug and took a sip from his mug of apple cider. "Alright, I'm not good at jokes, guess that covers happiness." Bloodbeast said after he finished his drink. Spike had originally expected assassins to be fierce and violent if someone made fun of them. Bloodbeast was nothing like that. That was the problem, since he felt no fear or guilt, he could easily strike Spike down. Spike was scared of this guy but he also had respect for him. Even though that he had received a mark for being dangerous, he still helped out if he could. Bloodbeast was no hero, but he wasn't a bad guy either. "Hey Spike and Bloodbeast!" Spike heard his mentor, Twilight Sparkle, say as she walked indoors of Sugarcube corners."Come on, Celestia will be here soon.". "Sounds important," Bloodbeast responded. "IMPORTANT!? Brony, it's a visit from the all-mighty Celestia," Spike said as they began to walk to the library." You better show some manners or else you'll end up on the moon.". Bloodbeast looked straight out into the air, before he sighed and thought to himself, I'm so fucked. The crew was gathered in the library, Applejack and Rarity had a discussion of a new dress that was made for farmers meanwhile Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash (mostly Dash) talked about the last couple of days. Twilight, Bloodbeast and Pinkie Pie sat in the sofa, in the middle of the library, and talked about Equestria. "Just remember, don't talk about the day when she banished her sister to the moon!" Pinkie Pie repeated to help him. "Sensitive subject, huh?"Bloodbeast notified, he knew that those things could come in handy." Understood." "This is serious matters, don't you feel...nevermind" Twilight stopped before she made a fool out of herself. "For being the smartest in the group, you certainly make some dumb mistakes." Bloodbeast said, to Twilight's frustration. "What kind of dumb mistakes?" A soft, calm voice exclaimed as everyone turned around and faced the door. Where their gazes fell, stood a tall alicorn with a white dress. Her coat was majestically white and on the top of her multi colored mane, there sat a golden crown. Everyone rose up and bowed towards her, except Bloodbeast who just rose his hand and said, "Hi." This caused a reaction in the room, a gray unicorn guard with a white mane burrowed his eyes into him. "How dare you address the princess in such a filthy way, don't you have any manners?" The unicorn said, as another unicorn, with two shades of blue in his mane and a white coat, shoved him a bit. "Nope." Bloodbeast answered with a straight face. A small laugh broke out in the room and Bloodbeast saw an amused look on Celestia's face. "I assume that you are Bloodbeast?" she asked as she made eye contact. "Yeah that's me, the guy who was created to kill you," Bloodbeast said, as the guards reacted by putting their spears towards his throat. Bloodbeast caused a shockwave in the spears by tapping at them lightly, then he grabbed them. He then tossed them up on top of a bookshelf, effectively and simply disarming the guards "Don't worry, he's not going to kill me." The princess said calmly. "Yeah, if I wanted to do that then I would have done it when you guys got in here." Bloodbeast said, ignoring everyone’s reactions. Celestia looked around in the room, before she decided to have a chat alone with him. "Could everyone else besides me and Bloodbeast leave the room?" Celestia said. "Princess, you can't trust hi-" Twilight and the white unicorn began. "Please leave the room," Celestia repeated in a serious tone. Everyone kept themselves quiet as they exited the room. After the room was empty, Celestia eyed up the assassin and the calm smile was replaced with a face of worry. She were the first one to break the silence. "You are very honest for being an assassin." "Why shouldn't I be?" Bloodbeast responded by sitting down with his hands together." If I have to tell everypony about myself then I'm ready for it." "Can I ask you some questions?" Bloodbeast could tell that she didn't trust him, he didn't blame her though. He was created to kill her after all. "Sure." he responded as he leaned back in his seat to make himself comfortable. Celestia eyed him up before asking the first question. "Why Ponyville? Was it some hideout or a-" Bloodbeast cut her off. "It was just a coincidence, I had no plan in living at any specific place." "Alright, how is it possible for you to don't feel any emotions?" Celestia asked. "They removed some parts in my brain that makes me feel those emotions." Bloodbeast responded. Celestia sighed before asking the final question. "Why should I let you stay here in Ponyville and not take you as a prisoner?" Bloodbeast just shrugged and pulled out the laptop from a bag on his shoulder. "Well, I saved your life," he responded and sent the laptop over to Princess Celestia." And if you don't believe me, check that laptop, the password is ANTI-EQUESTRIAN." Celestia stared at the laptop, before she opened it up and entered the password. Twilight and her friends was chatting with her brother.  "How do you think he's holding up here?" Her brother asked. "I don't really trust him, he saved our lives but I don't really trust him." Twilight responded to everyones agreements, everyone except Pinkie Pie. "He seems like a nice guy to me." she had barely kept herself on her hooves because of Bloodbeast's judgement. She was afraid that he could end up as a prisoner. "What makes ya' say that Pinkie?" Applejack asked her friend. "Uhm well..." Pinkie pie stuttered. Luckily, she was saved by the appearance of Bloodbeast and the princess. Everyone was quiet when Celestia spoke up. "I've decided to let him stay." She spoke in her formal voice."But, I want weekly reports on how he contain his powers, understood Twilight?" "Yes, I'll do that Princess Cel..." She began before Pinkie jumped into the air. "OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH, I ALMOST FORGOT!!!" she screamed before she darted away in incredible speed. She had been so busy with today that she almost forgot her ritual for every new visitor. The welcome party. > Party everyday > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Party everyday Pinkie was running down the streets of Ponyville, heading towards Sugarcube Corner to fix up Bloodbeast: "w.t.p.p.(welcome to Ponyville party)". She couldn't belive that she had forgotten to fix a party to her crush. Who known what would happened if she forgot? Maybe he would be an outcast and not have any friends. Not like he would acctualy care or anything, he was emotionless and all but it was against Pinkies nature to leave a pony without a true welcome. She ran indoors and up to her room, meanwhile she thought of one thing: How was she going to get him? It would be lots of hard work, maybe a broken bone and a lot of crazy stuff on the way. "But what if it won't be enough?" A simple thought slipped into her mind. She imediatly removed that thought and made a phone-call to the mayor. "This is the mayor, how can I help?" She heard the mayor say. "Hiya, it's Pinkie Pie and I need to rent a place for..." Pinkie speeded out before she was cut off. "Let me guess, another w.t.p.p.? Already booked and ready for you" Pinkie Pie ran down towards the basement, right before the mayor hanged up, and started to search for a certain box. She found it under her box for the summersun-celebration party. It was the box of extreme crisis situations, in her case, her crush-box It was evening and Bloodbeast was flying with Rainbow Dash around in the clouds, she was instructing him in cloud-duty. He needed a job and as a pegasus, this was in his blood. It had been 2 days since he got a permission to stay in Ponyville. He was relifed for this and also worried to a certain memory: Bloodbeast examinated his fathers body, it was a clean cut and the head was rolling away from the body. "I'll probably get the hang of this later on" he thought to himself, before he noticed... it. By the hand of his father, there was a switch that was pressed in. He didn't get enough time to worry about it before the door was slashed in by chainsaw-armed unicorn. The unicorn stared at him with anger in his eyes, before he noticed the dead body on his side. "You-you have killed him!" "Indeed, not even a worthy challenge." Bloodbeast didn't have much time to react after that before the unicorn charged at him with his chainsaw-arms. He easily dodged him, by jumping over his head and kicked him into the wall, and looked at the unicorn. It was wearing a battle-armor, had a black coat and a blue mane plus a very muscular body. "YOU HAVE KILLED THE FATHER, NOW I WILL AVENGE HIM BY KILLING YOU!!!" The unicorn made another charge and got stuck in Bloodbeasts trap. Bloodbeast jumped up on his back, kicked him into the bomb and then jumped up to the roof, slid into the ventilation before the bomb detonated. He could hear the unicorn scream, half in pain and half in rage. "I WILL FIND YOU BROTHER, DON'T THINK I WON'T!" Bloodbeast had a brother, who was looking to kill him in revenge for the boss. Since that the closest to a damage from the blast, that he recived, was a twisted leg; Bloodbeast had suspected that his brother had made it aswell. And if he was alive then... "Hey, are you even listening?" Rainbow Dash asked as she waved her hand infront of his face. "Oh, sorry Rainbow Dash." he said as he came back to the world." I just had a wierd daydream." Rainbow Dash looked at him with an glare that could melt ice, if it wasn't for Bloodbeast dissability. "I said..." She started but thought that she needed to throw something at him. "Nevermind, I need to speak with you about something else" "Sure, what is it?" Bloodbeast replied calmly. Rainbow Dash took a deep breath before she began to talk: "In case you haven't seen it, my friend Pinkie Pie has a crush on you." "I've seen it." He replied without a care, catching the cyan mare off-guard. "Well, what do you think of her?" She asked him, expecting an honest answer from this pony. "She's different, also a good kisser." He replied, causing Rainbow Dash to laugh. "Yeah I heard about the cotton candy thing." She said between her giggles, but then turning on a serious note" Look, Pinkie is my friend so I'll let her cut loose but if you do ONE thing that breaks her heart then I'll make sure that you'll Get bucked to the moon by my damn self." Rainbow Dash was hoovering right in front of his face as she hoped that he had shocked him a bit. But he just looked her into the eyes, calm as ever and just said plain and simple. "You know that you're threatening an assassin?" Now Rainbow Dash had gotten mad, this guy needed a lecture in the style of awsomeness. "Yes I know, honestly enough, I don't give a buck about it. If you can't be there for a friend then you're just a horrible pony, JUST LIKE YOU! And even If it was you who were in her shoes, then I would still help you, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS DOES!!! You need to stop treating all like shit, or else I'll kill you!" With those words, she left Bloodbeast at the cloud center. He was in a state of impression, not shocked or scared, just impressed of her courage to insult him. He knew about her, she was hotheaded but still the element of loyality. She had shown courage enough to insult him for the sake of her friend. Bloodbeast found it very impressive of her. "I'll give it to her, she truly is the element of loyality." he said in his mind. Before he could react, a bottle popped out of nowhere infront of his face. He didn't catch it on the way up, so he snatched it on its way down. As he catched it, he noticed that it had a note at the bottom of it. Hi BB! I need some help from a strong stallion down here at Sugarcube corner. But I decided to ask you instead:p. In all seriousness though, I need some help down here, show up as soon as possible please. Pinkie Pie Bloodbeast was looking at Sugarcube Corners with suspicious eyes, all of the windows were dark and showed no sign of activity in the bakery. He had ideas of what this could mean, either it was a trap for skinning him down in a torture-chamber, a trap by his brother to kill him; Bloodbeast wasn't sure but if he was going to find out, he had to be careful. "Well, here goes nothing" he sighed and put the chain in his pocket, causing his arms to turn into blades again. He slowly walked up the stairs, he could hear low mumble inside of the building so he kept the blades out. Bloodbeast opened the door and walked into the entrance. The room was dark and the air was thin, he didn't like the feeling at all, it was a great set-up for an ambush. "SURPRISE!!!" Everyone in the room screamed as the light suddenly went on, causing Bloodbeast to take up a defensive position. Bloodbeast was confused; the room was filled with decoration, sweets and speakers. On a banner, there was a sign that said:"W.T.P.P. BB". Suddenly, he found himself infront of Pinkie Pie who was wearing a blue top and a couple of coat-tight jeans. "Hiya, welcome to your "Welcome to Ponyville party", I fixed it up for you. Do you like it? Do you? Do you? Do you?" "I don't understand, what is this?" Bloodbeast asked dumbfounded, not having a clue as what was going on. "Well it's a tradition that we all gather together and welcome the newcomer all the time, DUH!" The pink pony said, switching around between bouncing around in the room and invading his privat space. "Welcome? but I'm a killer that shouldn't exist, why would you even bother?" Still dumbfounded, he asked the pink pony. "Hey, don't be like that, you have been extremely helpful and this is our way to repay you." The whole room nodded to Pinkie Pie response. "But..." "Come on, let's dance!" Before Bloodbeast could react, he was dragged out to the dancefloor by Pinkie Pie, accidentally dropping the chain at the entrance.(insert "Pump it" here for some background music) As the beat began to turn up in the speakers, everyone began to dance and have fun. Bloodbeast was clueless of what he was supposed to do, he had never been at a club or even at a dancefloor, so he began to shake his body to the beat. Infront of him, Pinkie Pie was cutting lose and dancing like crazy. Bloodbeast could see her pink mane bubble up and down as she danced and her... "What was that Bloodbeast?" He asked himself before he was dragged away again towards the center where everyone had formed a ring. One by one, they jumped into the ring and danced their best. Applejack showed that she knew how to shake that flank that she carried, Spike showed some shuffling and even Big Mac showed that he knew some smooth moves. Bloodbeast was impressed of their moves, acctualy enough to give it a shot himself. As the speakers began to fill in the second verse, he snuck in from the ring and laid down at the center. Everyone looked at him, before he began to raise up and down to the beat, before jumping on to his head and spinned around in incredibly speed. As the crowd began to cheer with him, he went down to the floor and began to spin on his back, before he made a jump to land in his usual pose, two hooves on the ground and an emotionless look on his face. He snuck out of the circle before he found out that Pinkie had replaced him on the dancefloor. She was seducing the crowd by some slow movements on her body but Bloodbeast could see that she had her eyes on him. He looked until she left the dancefloor, then he headed towards the drinks. "Enjoying yourself?" Bloodbeast heard a familiar voice say as he sat in the sofa. To his guess, it was Pinkie Pie again. "A bit, it's very nice ponies around here." "And there's still much to see, you haven't seen everything yet." She said, with music and flashing lights bombing the place. "That pretty much is true" Slowly but still forceful, she moved closer to him while she had a seducive smile on her face. "You know what kind of couch this usually is called?" Bloodbeast noticed that she was moving closer, she had something on her mind. "Uhm...no." Pinkie shoved him down on his back and climbed over to meet him face to face. She whispered in his ear: The M.O.C., the make-out couch Bloodbeast felt a trace of that well known cotton-candy as Pinkies lips moved closer. "Now again?" He thought, this wasn't looking good. She closed in to purse their lips together, just before... "WHERE IS HE?!!" A muscular unicorn walked straight into the room with every eyes turned towards him, especially Bloodbeast. "Oh no" "Who is that freak?" Bloodbeast jumped out of the couch and struggled to move forward in the massive crowd. Meanwhile the Unicorn moved up towards the closest pony, a butteryellow pegasus, Fluttershy. "Where is he?!!" "I-I-I don't know, he was here..." The unicorn took a grip around her throat and let his other arm transform into a chainsaw. "Don't lie to me, WHERE IS HE?!!" Before she could answer, Bloodbeast punched the unicorn in the face, causing him to drop Fluttershy and fly into the wall. Fluttershy looked scared at the unicorn and then ran back to her friends. "HEY, WHAT'S YOUR DEAL PUNK?" Rainbow Dash screamed as she began to charge towards the unicorn, but Bloodbeast put up and arm and stopped her. "He's mine." "WHAT? He's... got bucking... chainsaws for arms..." Rainbow made a horrible conclusion to the similarity. "This is family buissnies." the Earthpony said as he charged towards Bloodbeast. "You are not a relative of mine, just because we were created together doesn't make us family." Bloodbeast jumped up and made various slashes towards the unicorn. "I will kill you tonight; it's a word that I , Chain, swore as I crawled out of the building." Chain easily parried and made a slash with his chainsaw-arm that would decapicate any unicorn or earth-pony. Luckily, Bloodbeast was a pegasus and could easily rise up enough to avoid the deadly blow. He dived down to slice Chains head of, which was parried by putting his chainsaw in the way of the blade. Bloodbeast could feel a slightly amount of pain and quickly jumped back to a table. He could only rest for a bit, before Chain made a heavy slash to cut him in half. Bloodbeast jumped out of the way and left the table to be cut in half, before he jumped back and dropp-kicked Chain in the face. Chain rose up and looked at Bloodbeast with disbelief. "Why do you even bother to protect these worthless ponies? They know who you are and what you do, they fear you" Bloodbeast eyed around in the room, everything was broken and all of the ponies were watching them in fear, except from Rainbow Dash who looked like she was about to help him any second. He saw the terror that he had created, he was a Celestia damn murderer. Hell, even the kids was scared of him but there was something in the eyes of everypony. A small glint of...respect. "You're...right..., they fear me." "Yes and I'll be doing them...." "But they respect me, and that's all I care for." "What?" "I can't give them friendship, that's because I would be a terrible friend. I couldn't feel happy for a friend, I couldn't feel sad for a friend so all I can give them is respect. If they're ready to take in a pony, that they fear, to be a part of their town then THAT'S WORTH A DAMN LOAD OF RESPECT". Before anyone could react, a giant flash shook the area. As they all shielded their eyes, Bloodbeast rose up to the center. A golden glove formed around his hand as his eyes glowed in red. Slowly, a pattern began to form around the glove, a pattern of red blood. "What's happening?" Chain screamed as he began to look towards the center. Only to meet a face of a silver-grey coat and bloodshot eyes, not like late night porn or something like that, more like the eyes of a demon, it was like staring into the eyes of death himself. Also that was right, he couldn't react before Bloodbeast had cut him up like sushi. Bloodbeast made a roar as he began to stab the pieces of flesh. The kids began to cry and hide behind their mother. "Hey, that's enough" Rainbow Dash said as she went up to him. "He's dead" But it wasn't enough, Bloodbeast wasn't pleased with one victim. He turned around and tried to stab Rainbow Dash in the chest. She barely dodged it by jumping to the left, only to meet a series of slashes. She jumped, dodged and flew to avoid his furious attacks. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!" She screamed towards him, fear and anger in her voice as she flew up to the roof. Bloodbeast prepared to take of into the air and kill his victim, luckily he was stopped as a a purple aurora surrounded him. "Bloodbeast, what's wrong with you?" Twilight asked calmly as she observed him struggle with aggression, spitting at ponies in the crowd and trying to break free from his prison, that's when she found out what it was. "His chain is missing..." "What?" Everypony asked dumbfounded. "Applejack, do you remember from the letter? "If I'm disconnected from it a long time then I get a bloodlust and start to kill"?" She asked her friend as she struggled to keep Bloodbeast in control. "That's right we need to find it" Applejack responded after that her memory clicked in. They all searched for it but they simply couldn't find it, that was until Pinkie Pie found it by looking in other ponies pockets, that was wierd. "I FOUND IT!!!" She screamed and ran up to Twilight, who took the chain and walked towards a furious Bloodbeast. He was struggling but it was pointless, Twilights aurora was too strong. She placed the chain around his neck and the demonic eyes began to fade. He fell to the floor and fainted, the crowd was surrounding him. Everypony was looking at his body, except from Twilight who was inspecting the golden glove. "Get him to a hospital, I need to look for something" A/N: I have to fix this story before I go on to fix anything else but I need some characters for the upcoming stories so if you want then send me a PM with some information about your OC+ who you want me to ship him/her with. I will give you cred for your OC and use it as a main character for one story in my series. Slightly add a genderbent character for your information, I might throw in a part in the finals with some "On a cross and arrow" character. Taken shippings: Rainbow Dash, story coming up (Own OC) Pinkie Pie, this story(Own OC) Applejack, story coming up(BronyGC's OC) Twilight, story coming up( > I am protection > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am protection Equestria, a peaceful country where everypony lives in happines and harmony; That's why an attempt to murderer isn't going by so easily. Already the day after Bloodbeasts uncontroled rampage, the police had kept his eyes on Bloodbeast. Everypony kept their distance from him, all for one reason: He wasn't like any pony they knew, Zecora was a zebra sure but this pegasus had straight up slashed a unicorn to pieces infront of kids and families. He was dangerous and they knew it. But as the pegasi he was, he didn't give a buck. All that was on Bloodbeasts mind was the golden glove that he recived during his slaughter-rampage, it was just like any glove except that his cutie-mark was on the glove. But that glove had given him some extra power, he had been in bloodlust-mode once but the power from the glove had tripple-doubled the feeling. This glove wasn't ordinary, something was wrong with it and make it worse, it wouldn't go off his hand. Pinkie had tried to cheer him up by saying that it looked good on him, but he wasn't in mood for kind words. He needed to know what power the glove controlled and find a way to control it. As Bloodbeast re-entered the world, he found himself at his hospital bed. His laptop was at his side, he had used it to search for anything that related to his new accesoir. But he had also used it to experiment with his body, Pinkie had done something to him at the party; He had observed her a bit more than anypony else during that party. Was it...? " No, it can't be" he told himself. "If I would have felt love then my emotionsystem would reactivate and I'd feel any kind of emotion that anypony else could feel" He took up the laptop and checked his history on the internet: "Yesterday: Equestrian Daily 12:30 Equestripedia 14:15 Clophub 20:00" The last one was a emotion experiment, he had felt pain so he had to check on emotions that contacted with his body and he decided to try pleasure, it didn't work out on either side of sexuality or even the bi-page. He deleted the history and went to search for anything that could relate to his new addition. He wrote in "golden glove" in the search-field, nothing happened, he checked on his cutie-mark but no luck there either. Then he remembered something he said before he lost it.: "Then that's worth a damn load of respect" He quickly wrote in the letters: " R-e-s-p-e-c-t, let's see if this works" Twilight was searching in her books, something had happened to Bloodbeast during the party, the glove was the source to the power that was created by Bloodbeast. He had lost it and then he tried to kill her friend. Something happened to him and she needed to find out exactly what the glove meant. Unluckily enough, she had been searching by the entier library for the whole night. Then a book flooted by her as she put the "Elements of harmony" book, back at the spot. "Elements of guardians, handguide" " When did this show up?" she asked herself as she took it to the table and began to read. What he was greeted with was a load of crap pages that he wouldn't get any piece of shit from, but there was one page that greeted him: "Elements of guardians" "Jackpot." He said and clicked himself into the page. " Elements of guardians, a very close relation to the allknow Elements of harmony. The guardians was protecting the two princesses as they fought the god of chaos Discord. However, the guardians who assisted them were missing in action and the elements was never heard of again. The six elements each represented a combination to protect the Elements of harmony, Honor protected Magic; Co-operation protected Loyality, Courage protected Honesty, Obesrvation protected Generousity, Aggression protected Kindness and Respect protected Laughter." Twilight added two plus two and withithin a few seconds, she rushed out of the library and headed towards the hospital; she knew what it was with Bloodbeast and her friends, and Bloodbeast, had to find out. Bloodbeast read through the short, but still infromational, text with carefull words. "Respect protects Laughter, what could that mean?" he asked himself before he looked down at his glove, pulling something out of his ass, he simply guessed. "Could it be... am I and old legend in new form? Am I...the element of..." "...respect" Twilight said as she entered the room. "You thought it out aswell, I suppose?" Not surprised by her figuring out that she had also searched about his new hand-decore. "Indeed, since I am the Element of Magic." Twilight showed no anger towards the colt that had almost slashed her friend into sushi, she was there to help him out, Bloodbeast could tell that. " You are? Then I suppose that you know who my new bodyguardjob is?" He knew that he had to know, if it was true then he would need to know. "Yeah , it's my friend Pinkie Pie." This stroke down at Bloodbeast like a lightningbolt, he knew why he was observing her more than everypony else; He was looking to protect her, to keep her from danger that could hurt her... including himself. " This is bad, we have to tell somepony." he thought out loud. "Why? Nopony has to know about it if you don't want them to" " No, It's nessesary and especially Pinkie Pie." This caused Twilight to raise her eyebrow. "Why do you care som much about Pinkie Pie? Unless..." A smug entered her face as she began to add som things to her mind. Maybe he was... "Unless what?" Twilight turned around and saw that her mentor has entered the room, a chill was sent down her spine. "Princess Celestia???" "I heard about the news, a certain pegasus had tried to kill another one." Celestia gave a deathgaze towards Bloodbeast, who just responded it with a gaze of his own, a bit calmed eyes and looking straight onto her with unsure eyes. " Celestia, he was only trying to pro..." Twilight tried to protect him, but her mentor cut her off. " I heard it, but it's to be said that he can not control his powers." She was not looking for excuses, her gaze were cold and did not look like it was going to warm up. " Well it's because he's got..." Twilight tried to explain. "Enough Twilight!!! It's obvious that he has to be punished for his act..." Celestia said back to her student, but then. "Celestia, you have to see this" Bloodbeast raised his voice and put his hand towards Celestias face. She observed the symbol and the glove and suddenly a series of flashbacks of death and fighting regained. She remembered how the pegasus took his life to save her sister, how a brown unicorn defeated a killerbear by throwing him and the bear of a cliff and how an alicorn saved her life from a fatal blow...by taking it himself. She remembered the last words of her alicorn friend. "Don't even...think I'll let...you die... I've got to much honor for...that" They had won against Discord but the price of 6 lives was necessary. It was a day of darkness, a beginning of light but still a day of darkness. "Celestia, are you there?" Celestia snapped back into reality and observed the glove and it's owner. She knew what she had to do. "One more..." "Huh?" Bloodbeast asked dumbfounded. "I'll give you one more chance but if you do one more thing to harm my students then I'll have no other choice but to banish you." Bloodbeast knew that questions would follow meanwhile Twilight let out a sigh of relife. Celestia looked upon Bloodbeast with serious eyes, there was a prophecy that said: "Once one of the guardian rises, so will the darkness rise. One does not simply defeat the darkness alone, With the elements of harmony, they'll stand strong." If Bloodbeast had rose to become the new guardian then it could only mean that some dark force were rising. Things would change...and fast. "Twilight, I need to speak with Bloodbeast alone again. Could you please wait outside?" "Okay, princess Celestia" Twilight responded with a bow and walked out of the room. "Time for more questions?" Bloodbeast asked her, ready to answer anything. "No, it's more important than that..." Princess Celestia responded with a serious face. "As much I hate to admit it, I'm glad that you're here as our new guardian. However, this brings good news and bad news: The good news is that the elements of harmony will be alot safer now by the bad news is..." "Every chaotic and destructive force will revive itself and attack Equestria?" Bloodbeast pulled something out of his ass. "Exactly, I'll be expecting you to protect my students until that the other guardians shows up." She said, looking straight into his eyes. "Others? There's more?" This caught Bloodbeast slightly off guard, he had expected to be collecting these elements on his own. "The guardians is always connected, one rises and so will the others! You have a bond with 5 more ponies out there, I would say that it's only a matter of time before they will show their faces." Celestia looked like she was passing down some wisdom upon a future hero and saviour of Equestria. Bloodbeast stared out in blank air, he was acctualy ment for something. He was a guardian, a solider to protect... Pinkie Pie. "So I'm a personal bodyguard? To Pinkie Pie?" He asked in disbelief . "Yes." Celestia responded to him, this would cause anyone's hope to drop. "I'm screwed..." He hung his head, tired from just the thought of the work it would take. This put a smile on Celestias face. "Hehehe, I'm sure that you'll do fine. I'm counting on you" Those words, words of trust, something that nopony had ever been able to say to him. Bloodbeast felt how Celestias hand stroke over his face, she had gone from distrustful to having complete faith in him. It was something that nopony had done, have trust in him. "Thanks, I won't let you down." He knew that this was his last chance, he had to prove herself to him. "I know you won't." She said with a warm smile as she rose up. "Just like you didn't let me down the last time." Celestia left the wordless Bloodbeast by his bed, all of this had given him some stuff to think off. He turned around and closed his eyelids as he fell back in sleep. "Bloodbeast, wake up." He shook his head as he awoke from his sleep, his eyes met the kind Nurse Redheart, who was taking care of his recovery. "What's shaking?" He asked her while holding back a yawn. "Well you've got visitors and you'll be checking out this afternoon. You want to meet them or should I send them away?" She asked concerned, she was way too kind in Bloodbeasts mind, but he decided to greet his visitors. "Nah, it's cool, send them in." Nurse Redheart went outside and in came Bloodbeasts only friends: Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy...and Pinkie Pie. The strange vibration in his stomach came back. "Hi there, how's it going?" Pinkie Pie said as she sat down at the side of his bed. "My head is better and Nurse Redheart said that I'm checking out this afternoon." Bloodbeast responded. "Glad to hear it, sugarcube." Applejack said with a smile. "You were out for a whole week buddy." "Yeah, Ponyville is starting to miss that scary attitude of yours." Rainbow Dash said as she gave him a small noogie. "Yet, you guys seem to be my friends" Bloodbeast said, still dumbfounded of how easily his friends forgave him. " You might be a crazy psychopat, but you saved our lives so I'm willing to see you as my friend. Even though that you spit right in my face." Rarity said with a raised eyebrow. "Yeah, sorry about that." Bloodbeast responded with a shrug,. "I'll pay you a new hanky." "Besides, it was quite an adrenaline-kick to almost get killed." Rainbow Dash laughed, her recklessness as a daredevil was fascinating to Bloodbeast. "And, you saved my life from that unicorn psychopat, so t-thank you." Fluttershy said quietly, trying to express her gratitude. "We gotta throw you an appreciation party later" Pinkie Pie said with a smile. "What, so I can find out that I have a sister to kill?" Bloodbeast tried to pull a joke. This actually caused everypony, except Bloodbeast, in the room to laugh. Bloodbeast was amazed, even though that he had done so much wrong that night; They still wanted to be his friend. He looked around on everyponys face, an expression of gratefullness and relife was on everyponies face. But he stopped at Pinkie Pie, then he turned to Twilight. "Did you tell them about this?" He asked as he held up the glove. "No, I thought that you wanted to, since it affects your life mostly." She replied and motioned him to begin. Now every eyes were turned to Bloodbeast again. "Tell what?" Rainbow Dash asked. Bloodbeast sighed as he began to explain what happened last night. > History data > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Did you bring the book that I asked for, Twilight?" Bloodbeast asked the unicorn. "Yes, here." She said as she gave the book to him. "NOW HOLD ON, WHAT IS GOING ...." Rainbow said. "Look at this, everypony" History data A journal that was found by the commander for the famous: Elements of guardians, Solar Flame June 6/34 God morning, journal. It has been a rough day for me, but it's still so amazing that it feels like I'm going to explode. Princess Luna have put me in charge for a new group with elements that are supposed to guard them as they fight against Discord. It's like going from a muffler to a royality in ten seconds flat... "Hey that's my catchphrase" Rainbow Dash said. "She was living before you so it's hers, now where was I?" Bloodbeast responded as he got to back to the text. ...Apparently, I'm going to meet 5 other ponies in Canterlot to go through some training under the greatest guardian of them all: Exali Blade. It's such an honor that I'm going to train under a master like him. They still haven't told me about which element I'll be representing but I know one thing for dure; I'll protect them all, no matter what!" June 18/34 Goodevning Journal. I just met my crew today, it was such a wierd crew. One was a earth-pony waiter in Canterlot that spoke with pride and honor, he was the element of observation; There were also a criminalistic unicorn, he was buffed up to max and I wasn't surprised that he was the element of "aggression". There were two pegasi also, twins with very challenging clothes but one was wielding a giant sword meanwhile the other was wearing an bow that had flaming arrows. They were the elements of courage and co-operation but my mind can't stop thinking about that pegasus colt. He was long and handsome, had a dark-brown coat and wore a shining bronze armor, he had a spiky mane in the colour of the sun itself. Okay, so maybe I'm overreacting but hey, at least I could back up my attitude towards him. He called me an overlooked no-worse-for-wear solider and that I should return to my old crappy village. I responded with an classy move that I learned since walking on two hooves...a kick to the nuts He didn't speak much after that, I called him a sexistic mother-bucker and continued to beat on him... Exali Blade wasn't proud of me or the others, he said that we should work together as a team. Hehe, only when Mr.Grumpy stops to be a jerk then I'll concinder it. That was when they showed us the elements, we all got armor of gold but with certain marks on some body-parts. I got an armor with my cutiemark on my chest-plate, the earth-pony waiter got a pair of glasses in the shape of his cutiemark... "Just how does this relate to anything?" Applejack asked with an raised eyebrow. "Right here" Bloodbeast said and pointed at the end of the page. ...and Mr.Sexistic Buck had his cutiemark on his gloves, apparently he was the element of respect A sight over to Bloodbeasts hand and then back to the page made them understand, an old legend was re-born... "You're a guardian?" Everypony else but Bloodbeast and Twilight shouted out, " But for what?" Bloodbeasts eyes turned towards Pinkie Pie with narrowed eyebrows. "Congratulations Pinkie Pie, you just won a bodyguard." O/N: Short chapter huh? Don't worry, I'll make the next chapter as long as I can. I'm going down to some serious writing now that I've got a new computer...FUCK YEAH!!! I'll be working on the other stories that are coming up. I won't post them though but I'll give you the titles on some of the stories: Heartbeat(boxing) BronyGC:s OC Sweet dreams or chaotic reality magmon:s OC > Bet ya never sew this coming... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bet ya never sew this coming... Things had been random for the citizens of Ponyville. An assassin had slayed a manticore and saved them, then he almost killed the weather-manager of Ponyville and now Princess Celestia had let him go. But the town had nothing more on their mind than the party-pony herself, Pinkie Pie. Even though that she had gone through some moments of craziness, this took the price. She had met this stallion and fallen in love with him, then he had almost killed one of her best friends to finally see that he now was her body-guard. She could easily say that she had never gone through a time like this. She returned to the world as she waited down at the trainstation, as soon as Bloodbeast had recovered from his concussion, he had taken the first best train to Canterlot. He said that he had to prepare for"the others". Pinkie didn't know what he ment but as long as he was her body-guard then she didn't complain. That ment that he would have to spend more time with her and that would mean that she had more time to spend with him. Win, win situation as she called it. Then the train stopped and the passengers began to walk out, especially one certain pegasus. Pinkie ran up to the pegasus, who was reading through a book, and surprised him with a hug. Bloodbeast reacted with eyes that said: "WTF?". It wasn't easy to know her, but being her crush was a matter of life and having a social life. "You never warn anypony?" He asked. "I like surprises." She responded with a smile on her face. "You do realize that you just made an opening for a "That's what she said" joke?" The smile turned into a raised eyebrow, a new look on Pinkie Pies face. "I'm in trouble, aren't I?" She eyed him up with an unamused expression, before retorting back to her regular cheerful self. "...No, I've missed you too much for it." They began to walk as they talked. "So how was Canterlot?" "Everypony stared at me with disgust in their eyes, nothing new." Bloodbeast shrugged, it didn't bother him before and he had no plans to let it bother him now. "Oh, well...you never acctualy told me why you needed to go to Canterlot." Pinkie tried to change the subject, keeping a happy reunion possible. "Well, as the book said: I'm only the element of respect, there's five more ponies out there who's probably going to show up. So I walked into the Canterlot archives and took the other journals for the five others, so that they will get a flash of their past." Bloodbeast explained to her, keeping it simple for his stalker. Pinkie Pie was confused, yes he had confused her, was there more? She didn't know because she fainted as soon as she heard about Bloodbeasts new job. "Since you decided to meet me at the station then I suppose that you had a plan." He said with a raised eyebrow, ready for whatever she had planned. Pinkie snapped back into reality and remembered reason nr.2 that she met him at the station. "Well, I could see that you didn't her a fresh start with my friends so I decided that we should make a rewind. I made a quick schedule for you: First we're off to Rarity, then we'll see Rainbow Dash and help her practice, after that I marked Twilight and then we're of to see Fluttershy. And to finish it off, we're gonna help AJ at the farm." She explained to Bloodbeast, who was surprised that she was not inviting him for any wierd stuff. "Nothing more?" He asked to make sure. "Nothing more." She replied with a smile on her lips. Bloodbeast didn't belive her, there was something more to it. She was looking to know him a bit more, trying to find something to make him accept her as a mare-friend. Unfortunately, he knew that he could never feel the same way. She was a kind pony, he was a terrible pony. She cared for him, he only wanted to protect her because it was his destiny. The kiss had ment something to her, it didn't mean anything for him. He would have to tell her, sooner or later, that he would be a terrible colt-friend and that he didn't want her to get hurt. Things was on his mind, that he didn't notice when Pinkie Pie had stopped...and he walked right into a door. After a while of ensuring Pinkie Pie that he was okay, he saw that he was standing infront of a boutique that was as colourful and round as a carousel. "That's a different shape of a house..." Bloodbeast pointed it out. "Yep, were at Rarity's place." Pinkie Pie responded as she went up and knocked on the door. The mare that opened the door was nopony else but Rarity, the stylist of Ponyville and a coltmagnet. "Oh hello Pinkie Pie, what brings you here?" She said in the tone of fashion. "Hey Rarity, guess who's back?" Rarity turned her face a bit to the right and noticed the Silvercoated colt. "Oh Bloodbeast, you're back." She said with a smile. "Good to see you too Rarity." He responded with a hand raised up. "Now, I would normally take you in for a little chat but I'm quite busy. There's an order that's supposed to go to Canterlot and I've got to pack up some new fabrics." She apologized to them as she turned around and started packing her things. This wasn't in Pinkie Pies plan, if he didn't get a chance to talk with her friends then he couldn't get to know them and then she would be the only one to trust him and then... "Do you need any help?" Bloodbeast asked. "That would be great, thanks." Rarity responded gratefully as she invited them in to her house. The plan was still in move... It was easier said than done, the boxes full of fabrics never seemed to end. Bloodbeast was happy that his fight with his brother had made him prepared for the worst but he'd never expected this... To help a mare with moving stuff... "Is *grunt* this the last box, Rarity?" he asked as he carried a box full of diamonds. "Yes, I have to say that even though you're quite a douchebag, you're still kind enough to help a lady. No offence about the douchebag part." She responded as she walked beside him. "Nah, that's what everypony calls me nowadays. It's almost like a nickname." Rarity let out a small giggle to this, no matter how much you would try to insult him, he just shoved it off and shrugged. "You just don't care what ponies calls you, you just don't care about anything." This was a different case, Bloodbeast hung his head and it looked like he was depressed, if it wasn't for his emotionless eyes then Rarity could swear that he was sad. "It's not all true...I care about Pinkie Pie." Now this caught Rarity's attention, some gossip about love. "Pardon?" "It's not an emotional thing, it's more like that I care for her...in a way I can't describe. I know that she's in love with me but I would just hurt her..." "How come?" She asked, now that this was about her friend, it had turned personal for her. "She has strong feelings for me and I can't give these feelings back. All I wanna do is to protect her, even from myself... She deserves a better pony than me." He replied, head looking at the direction of the pink mare. The room's silence was broken with a 'daaawww' from Rarity. The way that he wanted to protect her from everything, it was very adorable for her. But now wasn't the time to milk up some more answers. She had work to do, she would have time to talk with him later. "Anyway, thanks for the help." She said, and put a hand on his shoulder. " You really are a nice pony, if you put your mind too it." "Hey, we might gone off with a bad start but there's nothing to say that I can't be nice to you." He replied as he put down the box. "Indeed, can you do me one more favour?" She asked him, causing Bloodbeast to raise a hand, ready to decline. "Not more boxes! My arms are finished!" "Hehehe, don't worry. I was just asking if you could say to Sweetie Bell and her friends that I'll need the sewing-machine in a couple of minutes." She chuckled as she watched him. "You could almost say that he had emotions sometimes." She thought to herself. "Oh...I can do that." Bloodbeast said and started to walk up the stairs. He could hear some fillies, laughing and humming, at the end of the corridor. As he walked, he couldn't help to notice that it was kinda wrong. He was a death-machine, walking towards a room of happy fillies. It made him look like a rapist or a psychopat. "Calm down, you're just helping out, it's not like they'll start to ask questions and make me do dangerous stuff." If he only knew how wrong he was... (10 minutes later) Bloodbeast exited the room and hurried down to the entrance. His eyes darted around in the room, his body-language showed that he was stressed. Then he found who he was searching for, Pinkie Pie. He hurried up to the pink mare, who was having a chat with Rarity. "Hey Pinkie, we need to leave now!" "Oh hey, Bloodbeast." Rarity said as she took a sip from her tea. "We were just talking about the upcoming guardians and..." "That's great, but we need to leave now." Bloodbeast looked behind him as if he looked for a stalker that had followed him. "How come?" Rarity asked curiosly. "I've got no time to explain, we need to leave." They could almost hear a sense of panic in his voice. "Why do you want to leave so badly?" Rarity asked, before she heard a noise from the stairs. "I wonder where he is?" Rarity heard her sister and her friends chatter about him. Bloodbeast pointed towards the stairs and said: "That's why, they wanted me to tell them how I got my cutiemark." "Why's that such a problem? Sweetie Bell and her friends might be a bit pushy but that's because they want to earn their own cutie-marks." Rarity responded with a chuckle but Bloodbeast was not amused as he moved in closer and whispered in her ear. "I got it after my first victim, do you know what would happen if I told them?" Rarity gasped as she thought of the worst possible thing: "Cutiemark-murderes... Get going, I hold them off to make sure that they don't follow you." Bloodbeast took her advice, grabbed Pinkie Pies hand and rushed out. Just before three innocent looking fillies walked down the stairs, they looked around as if they were searching for somepony. "Hey sis, did you see a silvercoated pegasus walk by here?" A filly with the same colour of her coat as Rarity, light purple and pink mane, asked Rarity. "Yes, he had to go, he was very busy to deliver some boxes to another store in...uh...Mexicolt." Rarity lied as she put up a fake smile. The three fillies had their head hung down in disappointment as they walked back up the stairs. Rarity let out a sigh in relife to this as she thought: "That was to close." > Books and turn-ons > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Books and turn-ons The new bond, was walking towards a green field where they found a cyan and a butteryellow pegasus practicing. Which was more like, the cyan pegasus was flying around meanwhile the butteryellow pegasus cheering on. "She's still training?" Bloodbeast asked Pinkie Pie. "Yeah, she's preparing for the gala where the most spectacular fliers will preform, The Wonderbolts." Bloodbeast sighed, he remembered back in Canterlot when some guys tried to bully him for not knowing about them. If he was lucky, Princess Celestia wouldn't find them at all after what he had done to them. "Come to think of it..." Bloodbeast thought out loud, something had happened during that very moment. "Oh, what are you going to do punk?" A brown unicorn mocked him and his gang laughed behind him, his first and last mistake. Bloodbeast just took of his chain and said: "I'm just going to kill you all." Then the blades re-apeared, except that this time; The right blade was golden. "Well, this is new." Bloodbeast said to himself, ignoring the scared ponies that took a step back. He just expected this to be an adition to his new job. It was probably his price for being a guardian, the glove wouldn't go off so it formed itself around the blade. "Come to think of what?" Pinkie interrupted his thoughts but before he could answer her, he found himself under a cloud. Then rain poured down on him. Ice-cold rain poured down on his mane and ran all over his body, when he opened his eyes, he found Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie on their backs as if they were gasping for air meanwhile Fluttershy was a bit away, giggling. Bloodbeast looked at them with an unamused stare, until he noticed something that would bite them in the back. This acctualy brought a fake smile to his lips, the backside of being a pegasus. As soon as Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy opened their eyes, a blush had entered Fluttershy's face meanwhile Rainbow Dash observed him a bit. What stood infront of them was a muscular pegasus with a soaking wet mane. You could see some lines from his muscles under his soaked t-shirt. And he was wearing a smile from the devil. It was like a colt from one of those movies that always recived crazy fan-fillies, plus the cold water only showed to make him hotter for the mares. "Good one, I have to admit it." He said, still wearing a devilish smile. The poor mares couldn't really respond, Rainbow Dash just tried to contain herself from blushing like her friends meanwhile Fluttershy's face sent out waves of warmth from her cheeks and Pinkie Pie just admired him. But one thing was impossible for the pegasi to hide. Their wings were perked out, filled with enough blood to show how stiff they were. Bloodbeast couldn't help it anymore, he had to warn them until somepony else than he saw it. "Fluttershy, you're always ready for a flight when your friend drains a colt?" Poor Fluttershy jerked her head a bit to the left and observed her extended, stiffed wings. Her eyes grew wide as plates and her face changed from butteryellow to crimson in one second, as she tried to explain herself but it sounded more like she was trying to apologize for crime she didn't commit. It didn't help that Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie was laughing to this aswell, until that Bloodbeast pointed out that Rainbow Dash had her wings perked out aswell. In a tiny, "yelp" Rainbow Dash had taken off in a haste with Fluttershy in her hands. Bloodbeast turned around and saw that Pinkie Pie was rolling around on the grass, tears of joy streamed from her eyes and she could barely breathe from all the laughter. "Breathe already, I don't want to choke you on your own element." Pinkie, slowly, crawled back up to her hooves and walked up to follow her friends but Bloodbeast pointed out that if he could give her friends a wingboner then it wouldn't be needed to talk with them. At the time she didn't giggle, she decided that he was right and they headed towards Twilight. "I'll open it Twilight." Spike shouted as he went for the knocking door. It had some time since they all discovered, that the guardians were rising. Just by a small fact, forced Twilight into some serious reading. She had spent the last days inside the library, making sure that no book was unread. Thanks to this, Spike was forced to look after the library, he had to do everything around to make sure that Twilight didn't miss a thing. The faces that greeted him, was a happy pink pony and a unamused silver gray pegasus. "Hey Spike, guess who's back?" Bloodbeast said before Pinkie Pie could start her crazy attack. "Hey Bloodbeast, good to see you." He responded with a smile, then he noticed Bloodbeasts wet mane."Why are you all soaked up?" "Rainbow Dash pulled a prank on me." Bloodbeast responded with a shrug, before he lent forward and whispered in Spikes ear."Then I guess that I turned them on, because Rainbow and Fluttershy got a wingboner from it." Spike barely contain himself from the laughter who bubbled up in his throat. "Spike, what's going on down there?" A voice came from upstairs, Spike tried to respond but he was laughing everytime that he opened his mouth. As footsteps got closer, Bloodbeast saw that it was Twilight. Except that she looked like she had barely slept on a long time, her mane was all messed up and she could barely have her eyes open. "Hey Twilight, Bloodbeast is back." Pinkie said before she noticed the tired Twilight. "Are you okay? You look like you have eaten too many cupcakes and mixed them down with some strong Apple cider." "She's spent most of her time, learning about the guardians." Spike said with a bit of worry on his face. "She might have gone to far and got herself a book-overload." Bloodbeast raised his eyebrow to that, he was pretty sure that it wasn't a disease. Then he turned his face towards the stairs and found himself infront of Twilight. The sight wasn't pretty, and Pinkie Pie jumped back to the door in surprise, it was like starring at a hot girl with an ugly mouth. "Ah, good to see you again." She said with a smile that only made her more creepy. If it wasn't for his immunity for emotions, he would have been scared out of his coat. "Good to see you aswell." Bloodbeast said as he backed of a bit, not wanting to get to close to her face. "Are you alright? "Yes, I've just read through the last book of the guardians. But I still can't find any useful information." She responded, still tiresome and looking like a psychopat. Bloodbeast couldn't help but to feel that he had to help her with it, but first, she needed to rest. He pushed two points on her horn and then pushed her to the floor. He observed how she fell asleep on the floor, it was interesting of how she slept on the floor. "Woa, how did you do that?" Both Pinkie Pie and Spike exclaimed after observing the time of events. Bloodbeast sighed and explained about the mind points, where they were and how to use them. That resulted in a sleeping Pinkie Pie and a bored Spike. "Okay, maybe not too interesting." He said with a bored face, before he switched subjects."So what brought you guys here?" "Pinkie Pie wanted me to start over with everypony, but I needed to deliver some books here." Bloodbeast responded as he began to unpack his bag. What was in that bag, was 6 different books that looked very dusty and old. Spike raised an eyebrow before he noticed the title that every book had in common: "Element of respect/honor/aggression/co-operation/observation/courage." "Wait, is this...?" Spike began to ask. "The journals of the guardians, I thought that I should let them have a flash of their past." Bloodbeast said as he handed them over to Spike."I thought that I should leave them in the library. Twilight can read them if she wants to learn more about my new job." Spike nodded as he accepted the journals, he went to the empty shell and put them all in. Meanwhile, Bloodbeast walked up to Pinkie Pie and threw her on his back. With a sleepy Pinkie on his back, Bloodbeast head for the door. Turning his head back to Spike, Bloodbeast saw him struggling with getting Twilight to his back. But before that, Spike gave him a nod that signed as a "we're good". He returned the nod as he opened the door and headed towards Sweet apple Acres, without even noticing the smiling Pinkie Pie, who were nuzzling up to his neck. But unknowing to them both, they were being watched by a unicorn in the background. "So there you are Little brother..."
