//------------------------------// // Chapter 7 // Story: Equestria Knights of the True Force // by Gravestone //------------------------------//      So here I am the Grand Master of the Je'daii order cowering behind four pregnant royals, six recently discovered pregnant women, and five younglings. All the while the father of one Twilight Sparkle (one of the recently discovered pregnant women) is standing there brandishing a long rusty sword yelling at me threatening to turn me into a Eunuch. Not one of my better days. As this was happening Twilight's mother made her way around the group to come up and stand beside me. Turning to look at her, she just smiled. "You will have to forgive my husband he can be very overprotective of our little girl." She said still holding her smile. "I do not blame him, ma'am, in fact, I will most likely act the same way in the near future." I said, raising a hand to introduce myself." Allow me to introduce myself I am, Socrates' Grand Master of the Je'daii order." "Taking my hand, she smiled I know who you are Twili' hasn't stopped talking about you all the time she was at the house. Velvet said, shaking my hand. "And I must apologize for Nightlight's actions it's my fault that this is happening. When my baby girl told me she was pregnant, I was so happy, that I forgot she wanted to keep it a secret from her father." "There is no need to apologize, I am just glad that at least one of you is taking this news well," I said, looking to twilight's father who was foaming at the mouth. But I must say I can now see where Twilight gets her beauty from. I say now looking at Velvet's features. Picture Twilight Velvet's hair color of white and purple. Our conversation was brought to a halt by the sound of a lightsaber activating looking both Velvet and myself were surprised to see Twilight is standing there in an offensive stance in front of her father. "Now daddy, I think that is quite enough of that. I will not allow you to threaten the life and manhood of master Socrates," She said looking at her father with a stern expression. "But you're my little girl and I worry about you so much," Nightlight said with some tears in his eyes. "I know and I'll always be your little girl, but now you get to be something better." Twilight said, deactivating her saber and taking her father's hand, placing it on her belly." You get to be a granddad." She said making both Nightlight and Velvet smile. After all the hostility was done and over with I could finally meet Twi's father without the sword. We talked for a short while, well it was more of him telling me if I hurt his girl or any of the girls in any way he'll have my testicles as a necklace. Later I found out Nightlight worked for Equestria's version of the CIA. Anyways, I just hope this doesn't happen to all the girls' families when they find out they're pregnant. Celestia decided that it would be best for everyone that this little misunderstanding was put behind us. So she ushered everyone outside to the garden so I could demonstrate not only to twilight's parents but to the foreign dignitaries who just so happened to show up one day early. Is she really going to try and do this I mean, come on, those four maybe a few thousand years older than me but did they forget with the force you can sense the smallest thing around you? But to be fair, I think that these people just wanted to test us I mean, did you see the Minos guy, okay, I know you can't see him but talk about all brawn and no brains. Come to talk about a warmonger for a dignitary he was packing some heat, eight pistols two blunderbusses, and two swords. The others were less intimidating the Griffionian had a sword and the Draconian carried a staff with what appeared to be a big ruby on the tip. But enough about them this story is about the force so let's get on with it. As we watched the others train the Draconian ambassador came over to talk with me. "Greeting Master Socrates, I am Ember Lord of the Draconian Empire it is a pleasure to meet you at last." She said bowing her head. "The pleasure is mine, but may I ask why the ruler of a country would come instead of sending an ambassador, especially with only five guards?" I said as I bowed in return. With a smug grin, Ember looked at me."Oh, they're not guards, they are highly trained assassins ready to move on my signal." Looking at her with a deadpan stare I cleared my throat."You do realize I know where they are and with one thought, I can render them unconscious before them now it." Ember's eyes opened with shock and fear after what I said. "Now I will ask you once why did you come here and not an ambassador and please don't try to lie, I will be able to tell," I said in a, not too friendly tone. Shaking off the fear and surprise Ember's expression soften."Please forgive me, Master Socrates, I did not mean to offend you, I merely wished to see if the rumors were true that is all. " Looking at her I could scan something else placing my hand on her shoulder I smiled. "That is not the only reason why you are here is it your Majesty?" Standing tall she looks me in the eyes."No, it is not for I am well aware you have not only taken the three royal sisters and their niece but these six others as you consorts. But also have impregnated them to produce as you call it force-sensitive children" "Yes I have and may I ask why it is any concern of yours, your highness?" I said looking curiously at her. "To be honest, I have overheard that to straighten peace between their nations and Equestria both Lord Brazen Bull and High King Gilfred have chosen to have their daughters to become your consorts, And if this is true, then I will also become a consort, "Ember said with a hint of blush on her cheeks. "Just one moment if you please," I said as I turned to walk over to speak with Tai and the others. After a quiet but heated discussion, I returned to stand before Ember. "Well, it seems your information was accurate both rulers are allowing the daughters to become my consorts," I said, but I raised my hand for her to hold off speaking. You must understand your highness there are certain conditions that must be held." Nodding her head for me to continue. First If you are to become pregnant, you will remain here for one week to be sure that it is safe then you will be able to return home. Second, you will need to return once a month for a check-up on the fetus to make sure it will be born force sensitive. Third, and this is the most important if the child is force-sensitive it will be brought to the Je'daii temple where it will live and be trained in the ways of the force your presence will not be needed at that time yet you will be able to visit. Hearing this Ember looked appalled. "Please, you must understand I do not wish to separate a child permanently from their mother it only allows the youngling to be able to focus on their training, and I will not take the youngling right away only after they are weaned from milk and begin eating solid food that way you will have one to two years with them," I said to ease Embers already growing anxiety at the thought of losing her child. Hearing this Ember calmed down after our little talk she excused herself and made her way over to the others. When that was done, I turned my attention to the girls and younglings training. I watched as the Rainbow, Pinkie, and Applejack were training Scoots, Spike, and Pip with sabers. While Twilight, Rarity, and Fluttershy were training Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle in meditation. Watching this I noticed that while Rarity and Sweetie Belle were meditating small gems would come up from the ground and begin to circle them. Fluttershy had small animals and insects surrounding her. As for Twilight, she and Applebloom were using the standard form of handstands. As we watched small boulders and potted plants began to levitate around them. "Excuse me, Socrates, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but the ambassadors wish to introduce you to someone," Cadance said, getting my attention then quickly turning around and heading to the others. "Well, I guess it's time to meet the new mothers of my children." I thought out loud. Walking over I could see two new young women standing near Ember. I Would have to say they were quite attractive in their own unique ways. The first I met was from Griffonia. The only daughter of Gilfred her name is Gilda who happens to be Rainbow Dash's old school friend. The next was Brazens Bull's youngest daughter Petit cul D'Ange (little angel butt) or just Petit. And I have no idea where he got a name like that after seeing her. Then the was Lord Ember, which is still confusing since a Lord is a man and she is definitely a woman must be a Draconian thing. Deciding it would be best to get this over and done with I escorted the three of them to my room and proceeded to deposit my future offspring in their very insatiable mother's wombs. When I say insatiable I mean not one of them wanted to do it no less than three times each. So after that little or long activity, I decided to show them to the dining hall for dinner. Along the way, I told them about adopting Pip and the multiple but failed assassination attempts. They were moved to learn about Young Pip, but at the same time, they argued about how I handled the assassins. Well, you can't please everyone. As we made our way through the halls we heard a commotion coming from the dining hall. As we entered the room what I saw caused my blood to boil. Therewith a smug grin, stood blue-blood looking down at Pip, who was holding his shoulder in pain while a group of men held the others at gunpoint. "That's what you get for talking to me that way you little shitstain, "Blue said sneering down at Pip. He brought his leg back ready to kick the boy. At that moment I allowed my anger to take hold. Raising my arm and extending my fingers I released a large amount of Force Lightning at him. Causing him to scream in pain and sending him back a good thirty feet. I released more volts at him yelling. "You pompous ass I wouldn't bow to you so you threaten the mothers of my children, my Padawans and you had the gall to hurt my son!" I yelled with the same volume as the RCV. (Royal Canterlot Voice) The only other thing that could be heard was his screams of pain. I would have continued if not for a small set of arms wrapping around my waist and the sobbing voice of Pip. "Daddy, please stop, don't hurt him I'm fine, so," Pip said in between sobs. Hearing his voice I snapped out of my rage and turned to look down at him. I quickly regained my senses, then I looked over to see the faces of the others. Fear and sadness that's all I could see. Composing myself, I looked at the men who wore the old armor suits thanking the princesses that they didn't give this bastard's men the new armor. "If you don't want the same treatment I suggest you lower your weapons and leave immediately," I told them in a voice that was as cold as death itself. Without any more convincing all of them dropped their guns and hightailed it out of there stopping to pick up Blue-Blood along the way. Turning to look at everyone I could see their fear. So taking a deep breath I looked at them all and said "This is a lesson for all of you. No matter how hard you try, you will always get angry. Accept the fact that it will always be a part of you learn to use it harness the power of it but never let it consume you." With that said I turned around and walked out the door with Pip taking him to the infirmary to get looked at. As we made our way down the hall we heard the voices of Rainbow and Scootaloo yell three words that made me shake my head and laugh silently. THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!
