What does he want this time? Does he know anything about that mysterious figure I saw. Why did it have a keyblade? Is it behind the unversed? I looked at him and asked. “Outsider, do you know anything about that figure I saw? Is he behind the unversed?”
“The figure you saw was an unversed once called Vanitas, but it's just a remnant now, and no, he isn't behind the unversed. He is just another pawn.” He told me. Dang it! Still don't know who's behind the unversed. “But wait. Why does he have a keyblade if he's an unversed?” I asked.
“Because Vanitas was once one being with a keyblader called Ventus.”Wait. Zeke told me about him. Xehanort wanted them to make a X-blade but it failed. Why is Vanitas here though? Who is his master now? Is Core really behind this? Dang it I need answers.
“ I see you got a keyblade. Not the one I would have chosen but it'll work.” Not the one he would've used? What does he mean? He leaves me with more questions than anything else. Vanitas is very powerful, and he is just a pawn. How strong is the boss? I can't do this alone. I need help. Maybe I'll get help similar to Daud with his assassins. I'll need reliable allies since all of Equestria is out to get me, and while I can probably handle any slave, drug, and/or bandits caravans alone I'll need help going after the main camp and leaders. I'll also need help for whoever is behind the unversed. Zeke said he would check in again at some point.
“Our time is short. So I'll tell you now...you aren't the only one in Equestria with my mark. Both of your decisions affect your lives. I look forward to the results.” When he said that everything started turning dark. Next thing I know I'm in my bed. Someone else has the mark, but who? There are a few that comes to mind. Trixie;cause of what happened to her in season 1, Chrysalis; what she has planned for the wedding it would make a bit sense for her to have the mark, it would also be trouble. An army of changelings with the power of the void would make winning the wedding battle all the more easier, and they won without it! Starlight is also another candidate. With starswirls staff and the outsider mark she will be much more powerful. In terms of magic she is stronger than alicorn twilight who was the element of magic. I don't even want to think what tirek can do with the mark. I need to get stronger and get allies if any of them is the one with the mark. I'll also need to pass a mark of mastery exam and become a keyblade master.
I got up and put my gear back on then headed to the forge. I need someone to man the forge so new weapons can be made and maintained. As well as upgrade gear like the pistol and crossbow. I'll also need someone to help get supplies and bits to help fortify this place while keeping the outside the same. Don't want others to know someone lives here. As I said before I need allies. I also need more keybearers to help fight the unversed.
I remembered what the outsider said about how I used the void. He said I thought it was that limited? I wonder what he means? I tried to remember anything void related to test it out. Ah, I remember an old anime that had void magic in it. The girl used it to cause explosions out of nowhere. I went to the courtyard to test it on some debri. I focus through my mark on the debri and tried to make it explode. It took me about five minutes I think till my mark reacted and the debri exploded and threw me back. “Dang! Ok so there IS more to my powers then I thought.” I said. I really need to experiment more with these powers.
I went back to the war room to plan my next move. There is a slave caravan that if I'm correct(and hope) it's full of new slaves that were just taken not long ago. I need to move fast to save them and move quietly to keep the slavers from panicking...to much. I want to scare them like Batman scares common thugs but not enough were they start killing off hostages. Time to put all that training with the Dishonored powers to pay off. I found out not only did I have Corvo and Daud’s powers, but Emily’s as well. I found out about her powers from a Dishonored 2 trailer about her or Corvo escaping the witches and guards using their powers. I have all their powers. I'll need them for what's to come.
I'm near the trail the slavers are supposed to take. I'm in the trees while using dark eyes and shadow walk to explore the area. Once I find the caravan I'll track it to their camp. I'll stop them there and free the slaves. Might need to lead the slaves to a nearby city so they can be save. As for the slavers, any that are still alive will be brought along so I can secretly drop them off at the guard station/police station/sheriff office with a note explaining what happened. I kinda hope I don't have to kill any. While I hate slavery I think killing any of the slavers will put me in a worse position with the guards and cops. Good think I got non-lethal ways to take them down like shadow walk and sleep dart to name two. Domino will come in handy as well.
About half an hour later I see the caravan. From the looks of it it has 8 guards, two carriages with two ponies each pulling, two griffons keeping lookout, and about two dozen slaves. Twelve in each carriage. ‘Dang it! About ten of them are children, the rest are about teen to young adult. Wait..is that...GILDA!? How'd she get captured? Her wings look broken from her and,is she wearing a muzzle?’. Dang, I got save them, but I must track them to their camp so I can save more and get more of these slavers captured.
I followed them for another hour till they came upon a huge camp. I circled the camp using shadow walk and dark vision. There are about forty guards and over sixty prisoners. Nearly thirty are young ones . I waited till halve were asleep then began. I used shadow walk to move through the camp and found their patrol patterns. The guards were a mix of ponies,zebras,griffins,and minotaurs. They had a weapons tent by itself about ten yards from the slaver tents. The main tent where they store their documents about the number of slaves, guards, and the supply drops as well as the main conspirators. With all my powers and the positions of most patrols of a couple of groups of three to four. This will be easy.
I get in a nearby tree and use domino on a group of three guards to sync them together. I used shadow walk to take out the pony of the group which caused the griffin and zebra to fall unconscious as well. I then moved to a caravan for cover.
A group of four;a Minotaur and three ponies, appeared and found the unconscious group. The Minotaur was about to signal the others when I synced him and two pony guards together and used a sleep dart on one of the synced ponies to take out the other two. The last of the group was panicking and trotted off as fast as he can, but I took care of him.
I then raided the weapons tent to find a few things. Ammo for my pistols, a few grenades, a typewriter, and a few other things I'll mention later. I took what I can and set the tent on fire. I then entered shadow walk and moved away. The others were waking up at this point. The burning tent and the groups of guards defeated. The slavers were panicking while the prisoners were confused with a bit of hope in their eyes; or in a few cases eye, exempt for Gilda who was...looking straight at me with a confused look in her eyes. I took care of the rest of the guards in about fifteen minutes. I checked the main tent and found a key for the cells and cuffs. I took a few major documents then set this tent on fire as well.
I began to open up cages and removing cuffs from the (former) prisoners. I treated any injure I could using cure. Then I got to Gilda . I took off the muzzle and cuffs. Then tried to heal her wings. Had to set them first. I gave her some leather gloves I found to bite on when I set them. After she was ready I then set her wings correctly,or about as close as I can get them. After that I summoned Fenrir then pointed him at her wings. Her eyes were wide when she saw me summon him. “Cure”. I said using the cure spell. Her wings then healed a little and were set properly. Her eyes went wide again as she tried to test them. She can move them a little but winces now and then. Still needs to heal a guess.
I got up to leave because as it turns out the camp was about a few miles from a city, Dodge Junktion I believe. I told the others not to mention me being the one that helped them. I didn't think the guard would believe them about me. I was about to summon my glider when I heard someone say. “Wait!”
I looked behind me to see a unicorn filly was the one to ask that. “Who are you? Can we have a name at least?” She said. I thought about it for a second. Then I replied.
“Call me, Daud.” I summoned my glider then took off. I left a few documents about the camp's operations so the Slavers,who were tied up and knocked out, would be arrested, but took the rest so I can use them to find the other slavery camps as well as the leaders behind them.
No unversed showed up today. That's both good and bad. I didn't have to deal with them as well, but they could be somewhere else causing trouble.
I got a long road ahead of me.
