Melchior Pov:
Strange, I was feeling the presence of Princess Celestia at the moment she gets inside of my house. And then she did disappear, that's normal, however, why didn't I feel her presence when Ryujin gets on Rurouni Kenshin dimension? I remembered it was my father who "send him" on there, and why I felt my father's presence on that memories.
"Melchior are you alright?" Someone asked near me, making me forget my thoughts for a while. I saw Mei looking at me concerned. I look at the table and found not just her, but many others looking at me worried.
I sigh snapping every worry inside me.
"I'm okay, but something is odd on dimension Equis Alfa 442213," I said after taking a bite of my sandwich.
"Isn't that the dimension where you sent your friend?" She asked me curiously, but I think she was understanding where I was going to.
I nodded after swallowing my food.
"Princess Celestia used some spell to get inside of my friend's Memory, and it was going well, I was feeling where she was and what she did on there, but later she just disappeared, like she was there in the next moment it was like the memory just stopped and continued without her," I said scratching my hair, trying to figure out what just happened.
Her eyes get wide after my worry.
"That's..."
"Impossible right?" I said agreeing with her, never happened with anybody on here.
"You should talk with something who understand that maybe Mr. Thanatos, the boss, or maybe some old Merchants as Schmied, Harry, Stefan, or..." She paused making me raise my eyebrow. "Sir. Mascate."
That name made everyone in the room drops their cutlery. My spine shivered as like my hair at the moment she said that.
The others 120 merchants were looking at me, many of them wore a cosplay as Resident evil and with the strap covering the mouth on their faces, but it didn't protect the look of fear inside their eyes, the purest and indomitable fear.
Everyone turned around their heads to the wall. The wall is with a frame, in the frame has a picture with a title, Manager.
The picture appears some kind of a little man or a creature who nobody knows. In old clothes with frazzles on it. A triangle hat, and long and yellow eyes having a mask covering his mouth and a wood box as a suitcase. Having A LOT OF FUCKING POWERFUL WEAPONS ON IT.
The only thing I know about him, he was a creation of one RPG at Brazil, but in some way he is one of the first Merchants around here, we don't know who he is, or what he does, but we don't care because we believed it will end up bad for us, there are rumors about him, and he doesn't confirm because he doesn't talk much.
I've heard him once, it was my third week as a Merchant, wearing the Resident Evil cloth. I was excited to know who will be my next client. And I was waiting at my shop, and 2 people get inside my shop, they were wearing a couple cosplay. One wearing an Inuyasha cosplay and his mate a Kagome cosplay.
I was excited after selling Kagome's archer and Inuyasha's Sword Tesaiga, and I was ready to send them to Equestria with their new power, however, I heard a dual voice from the front of my tent.
"I have everything you need." That five words, made all my body shivered in fear, I never heard something like that, I saw the couple looking at the Manager approaching them, and showing not the things from Inuyasha but from a game, I thought I would never see. A Pip-boy, cartridges, a different cosplay for they wear, power armors from fallout? Why did he bring that? Then he gave 2 cards for each and other. I don't know what was that, but they hugged each and other, the woman was crying with happiness, while the man showed a great relief.
The last thing I remember it was the couple decided to buy everything he showed to them, and then they disappeared into my front. Slowly he came after me, and took my clipboard, and risked their names, and wrote something on their side.
I decided to read it. And my mouth's dropped and I almost fainted.
Mr. Ms. Harryton. - (They will go to Fallout Equestria)...
DAMN, EVERYTHING COULD BE NECESSARY ON THERE, AND IF I JUST SEND THEM WITHOUT IT I WOULD BE BLAMED FOR KILL THEM. HOW DID HE KNOW THEY WOULD BE AT FALLOUT EQUESTRIA, NOT EVEN INUYASHA POWERS WOULD HELP THERE.
Wait a minute. I decided to read the other part on that line.
...a kit of Messiah and the True Mortal titles without game capacity, so that means...
HOLLY SHIT, They were already there in the max level but have free access to surpass it, and continue growing their power, and if they train a lot with that many of experience, they could be in a level that could make the corrupted Celestia, Luna and all the artificial alicorns as their bitches and slaves if they want. They really would be the savior of there or the best mercenaries too. How much Mascate knew about that?
HE JUST CAME HERE AND THEN SHOWED EVERYTHING NEEDED TO THEM SURVIVE THERE, AND HIS EYES... OH CELESTIA HIS EYES... HE COULD SEE MY SOUL WAITING TO BE RIPPED.
I was really afraid of what chooses I did, but the thing is, he knew everything, what would happen if they don't buy something from him. He looked at me. I despaired, his eyes were like seeing my soul, and I was really afraid of him, I could feel his power going through inside and outside of my tent.
And then, he just turned around and left me alone. I fell on my knees, being alone with my toughs.
I snapped from my flashback and gulped, but I heard a hundred gulps from the others. I was horrified, tell the manager's name just like that.
"Did you lost your mind, Mei?" I asked while my legs are shaking. Damn, even his name made my soul flinch of fear. "He just says 5 words on maximum, and you shouldn't say his name just like that."
"Why are you afraid of him? You know he is powerful and maybe he can have all the answers..." She said but getting silent next thinking of something. "However you have a point. He just says 5 words, and he isn't the kind of talkative guy."
Everyone inside the room let out a sigh of relief. I don't know what would I do if I found him...
"I have everything you need." I jumped high wrapping my hands on Mei, looking behind me, I found a really big guy, my eyes were burning with rage, it was a Merchant but using a cosplay of Hayato Furinji
It was a big tall guy wearing a green kimono, he is blonde and everyone knows him as Schmied, he is one of my friends, but he there is times I really want to punch him in his face.
I heard him laugh at my fear.
"Oi, Melchior. I know the Manager could pit fear on everybody, but it was the first time I saw someone jumps that high" He said laughing hard, the others in the room didn't laugh or just made a nervous laugh, they still on fear because it wasn't a good joke to tell. His mystery could put fear into everybody.
While I could feel my hands on blue fire, I would like to burn his face with it, but Mei interrupted my desire.
"Schmied, I'm happy you came, we were going to find you to ask you something," Mei exclaimed happy to him, making Schmied grin wide.
"Oh, little Mei, how can I help you?" His grave and old voice, felt like he was relaxing and enjoying the experience.
"Melchior has an odd problem about the memory manipulation in one of the displaced people," Mei told him getting straight to the point.
"Really? This is something rare. Tell me, what happened." Even I was still mad at him, he showed a bit concern, maybe this is a bit serious.
"Okay, I will tell you what happened." I decided to let out my problems and explain everything that happened today. I have an odd feeling about that.
Ryujin Pov:
It's strange, I found Princess Celestia a bit more relaxed than the normal, a second ago she was a bit afraid, but then later she was like she knew everything. Wait, does she know everything?
I saw her smiling at me, I felt something strange, it's a familiar feeling, why every time I look at her, she remembers me, my mother?
Just her personality energetic when she was nervous it was missing on Princess Celestia, I think it was a fusion of her and Pinkie Pie I would say it was my mother.
I let out a sigh of sadness, caught the attention of everypony and dragon in the room.
"Are you okay Ryujin?" Twilight asked me while I ignored her worry.
"Yeah, I'm okay, I'm just a bit..." I said waving my hand trying to tell I was just...
"Nostalgic?" Princess Celestia said taking their attention, including mine.
Yeah, she knows. I need to know how much, and I hope she didn't go too far.
"Yeah, how did you know?" I decided to ask her curiously, even I know maybe she is omnipotent or maybe she can read my mind or listen to my toughs.
She sighed.
"I'm sorry Ryujin, I need to confess one thing before we talk." She told me taking my eyes looking at her, she was conflicted, and I think it was because something she did to me, but I don't know. "I used a spell to get inside your mind and your memories."
Okay, now this answered my question but opened more of them. How did she do that if we just met right now? And what did she see over there? Did she just see my memories or the Melchior changed memories what he did to me? But something inside my head says it wasn't just that, there is more I don't know about myself.
Everypony gasped inside the room.
"Princess Celestia, how could you do that?" Twilight was the first who asked.
"Sister, I never knew thous could do that." Princess Luna was shocked by her elder sister doing something so selfish.
"Princess, this is..." Spike didn't know what to say.
The Nurse Redheart was in silence near the door, she didn't want to interfere with the Royalty.
"How much do you know?" There is the only question inside my mind, and after asking everypony look at me.
I knew she was capable to do something like that, but something is odd on here.
The Princess composed herself and looked at the other ponies and Spike.
"Spike, Twilight, Nurse Redheart could you please make a good breakfast for Ryujin while I talk with him about some personal things?" I heard Princess Celestia saying in a calm and gentle tone, I think nopony would be stupid enough to don't do that.
"BUT PRINCESS I..." DAMMIT TWILIGHT!
I forgot that her curiosity would challenge even her teacher, and watch her face hardener and gets serious. And inside of her eyes, even if she was being anthro I could see her pony version inside her eyes, and it doesn't look pretty.
I saw inside her eyes she was flaming of rage, Twilight stupid scored again. Now I felt pity for her.
After Twilight saw inside Princess Celestia eyes, she flinched so hard I could see her trying to avoid to see her again.
"What were you saying Twilight?" Princess Celestia said in a gentle tone when I can imagine her toughs. (yeah, say one more thing Twilight, I dare you.) I think this is what she was thinking.
"Errr..." Twilight was sweating bullets and her smile was similar to the Celestial Advice episode. I tried to not snicker.
"Sure Princess, I would like to recommend Princess Luna to come with us, letting you two on private." Twilight used her intelligence again for making a good point, making Princess Celestia shows a genuine smile to her, and her eyes became normal again.
"What a lovely idea my dear student. Sister I would like to go with them, and meanwhile, you go there, look some places, and ask Pinkie Pie to help you with the cake or some candies for the breakfast." Princess Celestia looked at her sister.
Looking at her I think she knew it was better to follow her idea because one it was enough.
"I would like to do that sister." Princess Luna decided to move with them and leaving Twilight with me and Princess Celestia.
Twilight didn't stay so much after Princess Luna, I don't blame her, just a little, sometimes you should be quiet and follow orders, she is her student and should learn that. After leaving us alone, Princess Celestia let out a sigh.
"Sorry about that Ryujin, you shouldn't witness this, but I really need to talk in private with you." She told me like she couldn't hold a big secret anymore.
"So tell me, what do you know?" I didn't want to wait so long, I gave her a good smile, and hoping she didn't found something awful about my life on Earth.
Celestia my face, and decided to go from the beginning.
PINKIE PIE POV:
OH MY GOSH, FINALLY IT'S MY TIME ON HERE, I AM REALLY GLAD IT'S MY TIME, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
(Err... Your Welcome, please take a seat and enjoys the experience.)
I will, thank you...
Let's see... Okay I'm on chapter 5, and after reading the fiction I have to say, it's really good... Even with all this edition, you keep making and remaking. I'm glad you came back with the original idea.
(Pinkie, please. Stop breaking the fourth wall and start your Pov)
"Okie Dokie Lokie," I said excitedly.
"Er... Pinkie, who are you talking to?" I heard a super duper and familiar voice near to me, I forgot I was baking with Mrs. Cake on here, I have a picture or her right here. Hold on.
She is hot, isn't she? Okay, now focus Pinkie Pie, you need to make everypony interested but you need to keep going the story.
I caught a deep breath, and use my good smile to my boss.
"Nobody important Mrs. Cake." I lied, I love you guys. *wink "Actually, Mrs. Cake, can you help me with an order."
I watched her being confused at first but decided to ignore my comment, because it's just me being me, I really enjoy when we say that.
"Pinkie? What order? We didn't open yet, how we have an order before open?" She told me while I saw the entire room without clients, but later we heard a burst on the door.
It was Twilight she was a bit afraid, like if she saw the eyes of a tiger ready to eat her.
"Pinkie, no time to explain, we need a bunch of cupcakes and some slice of cakes and donuts." Twilight went in front of us and told me really afraid. She was hyperventilating.
Mrs. Cake's mouth dropped on the floor.
"Silly Mrs. Cake," I said laying my hand on her mane and acaricide. And looking at Twilight, I just nodded. "I'm on it. I have half almost done. 20 cupcakes and 10 slices of cake, and 2 boxes of donuts. Just more 30 minutes and I will be at the hospital, how is he anyway?"
I saw the blue Princess coming to us, amazed by the decoration.
"Hi princess Luna, is really nice to see you here, how can I help you?" I asked while Twilight's mouth dropped the same way as Mrs. Cake, I sigh, while Princess Luna came.
"I'm glad for your reception Mrs. Pie, I came here with my sister, and who is this pony on your side?" Princess Luna asked making Mrs. Cake frozen in her place.
"Oh, right, Princess Luna, this is Mrs. Cake my boss, I work here at Sugarcube Corner. Mrs. Cake, this is Princess Luna, the princess of Night, and Princess Celestia little sister." I said showing Mrs. Cake to her front.
"Oh, nice to meet you my highness." Mrs. Cake said nervously after knowing the princess.
"The pleasure is mine Mrs. Cake, I hope we didn't disturb thous morning." Princess Luna said in a polite tone, showing her genuine smile.
"Oh you aren't," Mrs. Cake said waving her hand. "I was going to help Pinkie Pie with an order, anyway, for who is this all candies? It's a birthday or a Pinkie Party today?"
"Actually this is a breakfast order from Princess Celestia, our friend is at the hospital and he was hungry, so Princess Celestia asked our help to make a good breakfast to him," Twilight said in a polite tone.
"And you tried to refuse and she used an angry look at you, making you flinch of fear and run away from her, leaving their two alone, right?" I guessed because I knew Twilight would do that, poor Twilight, she is really smart, but when she is funny when she is scared.
Everypony looked at me, while Twilight's brain, froze.
"What, what, how?" Twilight asked approaching me and looking into my eyes. "How did you know about that?"
I just shrugged.
"I guessed, you are really sweating, do you want a towel?" It's better don't tell her I just knew this.
I can tell she was indeed stressed because I could see her eyes were twitching.
"But anyway, how is him?" I decided to change the subject before she freaks out.
"He is recovering, thanks for a question it Pinkie," Twilight told smiling after forgets her anger. That was close.
"Excuse me Pinkie, but who are you talking about?" Mrs. Cake asked looking at me.
"Oh, right, I did tell you, we have a friend at the hospital, and he helped Twilight when she needed. So we made a little party for him at the hospital, he doesn't like many ponies at the party because he is used when his family makes a small party because is special." I said smiling at her, but I think I said too fast because she shows like she tried to understand what I said. And this gave me a good idea. "Hey, Mrs. Cake, why can't you go with us and meet him, we can bring this order to him and then you will meet him. It will be a super upper funny. "
"Err... Pinkie I don't know." She said a bit insecure with the idea. "What if the clients show up here?"
I raised my eyebrow.
"Really? Because I remember the last day wasn't so exciting with many clients, come on Mrs. Cake, you will like him, and Princess Celestia will be there, are you going to disappoint her?" I said wrapping my arm around her and telling.
She gasped realizing what I did.
"OH THE PRINCESS, YEAH, I THINK WE NEED TO FINISH THIS RIGHT NOW." She said going to the kitchen.
"If you want to help, I would be glad of it," I said while I move behind them and start to push them to the kitchen.
"Okay, Pinkie we will, but could you please stop pushing us?" Twilight said while I'm still pushing her.
"Nop silly, we don't have time for that. LET'S BAKING TIME" I said using euphoric and excited, after pushing them to the kitchen, I slowly closed the door, while I look at you.
"See you later."
HOW WAS I? PLEASE TELL ME I DID GOOD, PLEASE TELL ME.
(Yeah Pinkie you really did well. Just next time don't get too excited and break the fourth wall many times, try to make that the first and the only time you did that, please.)
Okie Dokie Lokie, but I want something in exchange of that.
(Sigh, later we talk about that.)
Okay.
Finally. Why do I have a feeling this will be a headache to me? But she is Pinkie, I forgive her.
Celestia Pov:
"And then you disappeared and you left me alone with them." I decided to tell him everything I know about him, I would be unfair if I hide some information about him, and I don't want that kind of relationship with him, based on lies and hide secrets.
Ryujin was hearing in silence, he didn't show anger or sadness, he was just there, listening interestedly.
"So are you telling you were there all the time? Day after day? Watching me all the most important moments of my life?" He asked using holding his two hands while he was looking at somewhere. I guess he is thinking, and trying to find a way to accept that.
"Yes," I answered bluntly while I sit near to him.
"I have many questions about what you saw." He said in disbelief, rolling his eyes.
"Before the questions, I need to finish what happened. I didn't tell you everything." I will not hide anything from him.
"What do you mean?" He asked curiously.
"Melchior's parents know what happened with your parents," I said in a sad tone to him.
"what...do...you...mean?" The words were slow, but I could hear his voice is rising.
"Ryan..." I tried to calm him down.
"Don't say that name anymore. That name means everything I suffered in my childhood. I HATE THAT NAME, NOW TELL ME PRINCESS, WHAT HAPPENED WITH MY PARENTS?" He shouted to me, screaming in hatred all the pain he felt before. I don't blame him, it was never his fault.
"They died on the train," I said trying to be logic.
"Yeah, I knew that what does it have with Melchior's parents?" He asked in disbelief while his eyes were rolling of annoy.
"THEY SAW ME RYUJIN," I screamed on despair.
That made him shocked because I told him my spell allowed me to be invisible to anybody, and never get caught, but the contradiction shows after I meet Melchior's parents.
"What?" He finally calms down and asked in disbelief.
"In your memories, they saw me, they knew who am I before I knew them, they would have killed me there if they want, but they decided to show me what happened with your mother." I let out everything, my eyes were crying, I couldn't take it anymore, he needs to know what happened. "Your parents were wearing cosplays, and they went on a tent, but that tent..."
"The Merchants." He whispered in the room.
"What?" I asked trying to understand what he said, Merchants? What does it mean?
"That's what Melchior and his parents and some others are, Merchants, people who sell their stuff and weapons and transport you to another dimension. But my parents died, what does that mean? If this is a Melchior joke I will..." He was blaming his friend because of the memory inside of his head? But I knew some things I could feel the presence of Melchior, however, at the moment I was with his parents, it was different, it was such powerful power, I could feel so small in their presence. No, it wasn't him.
"That's not the truth, I knew his power essence, and it's different from his parents," I said justifying what I saw, and don't blame him for what happened.
"So what does it means? They disappeared many years ago, everyone thought they died, so are you telling me they are living in my memories all the time?" He was still confused, shouting as if this were something stupid. I never knew what happened to them, but I could swear they were alive inside his mind. They could do something like that, he needs to trust me.
"YES, THAT'S WHAT I AM SAYING," I shouted in affirmation of my point.
He became silent
...
He passed 3 whole minutes not saying anything.
"So are you telling me..." He suggested while I knew he wants to explain
"Yeah, not even Melchior knows his parents are inside of some spell inside of your memories," I confirmed, Melchior's parent don't want him looking for them, something is odd behind that, and even Ryujin could understand what I said.
"Okay, that's crazy, I think the only one who would understand that is Pinkie Pie." He shook his head and joked about how this craziness.
"Yeah, but having sometime you could figure out," I said giggling, while he chuckled.
"Okay, so you are telling me, after my parent's death, they went inside of the Merchant's tent. And what happened?" He finally calmed down and had the interest to know the rest of the story.
"They didn't know they were dead, and they were interested and buy some things on there, even a present for you," I said
"Really? And what happened?" He was indeed curious, but something inside on his face wasn't showed he wants to know.
"Octavius saw on TV the news about their death, and they despaired trying to understand what happened, and Melchior's parents tried to calm them, but after knowing they can't go back, and they would leave you alone..." I said keeping my eyes on him, if I change my viewpoint of him, I would not forgive myself.
"What happened?" He asked in sadness. Trying to imagine what happened.
"They threatened them to never leave you alone, and find someone worthy enough to take care of you and be your parent," I said making his mouth agape, trying to process what I said.
"Worth me? What do you mean?" He asked if he wasn't worth enough, like if he deserves what happened to him, and I don't want him to think about that.
"What do I mean? Ryujin, I watched your past and every single day, I remember the faces of them..." I said in the indignation of him even think about something like that.
"You..." He tried to say something, but I didn't let him.
"I will not even tell they are your kind Ryujin, they are monsters, if I ever saw one of them, I would toast them and make them be burned for every day until they became ash. However Estia and Octavius, they really were your parents, and the moment they were crying after they couldn't do anything... sniff..." My mouth was quivering, and my tears were rolling without my permission, but I didn't care.
"Princess..." He tried to comfort me, but I will not let that.
"Stop calling me that. I don't want to be your Princess..." I don't want that title, not from him, I just want one thing.
"What? Why not?" He asked me curious and if I was offended by him.
"Because I want to be your mother Ryujin," I said showing my crest of the sun to him.
He was perplexed, he heard something from somepony like, but looking at the crest, his eyes were wide open if he remembers it.
"Princess, why are you holding the courage crest? How did you get that?" His questions were still a bit vague to me because I didn't watch every show or anime with him, but I know one language, a motherly language like to give your own life to protect your children, and that's what Estia did to Ryujin. She loved him so much to trust me to protect him.
"Melchior's mother gave to me because it was Estia present to you, just read it," I said giving to him the crest.
He turned around and started to read, his eyes slowly went wide, after reading word by word, his hands were pressing hard the crest. I could see, a big dragon, the great hero around Equestria, in my eyes, it was just a child, the same little child I saw in the memories, a child who was tired to cry, but after years trying to not do that was letting some tears on the blanket.
"They were waiting for Ryujin, waiting for me, and I promise, I will never let you, never leave you alone. And I promise will do everything I can just for make you happy. Because it's like a fate, I and Estia become the same person or pony." I gave him a warming smile, while my tears were following.
He was looking down, trying to hide his memories, but when he turned to me, I could see the child and the man he was with all the tears on his face, ready to cry in the room. Both crying in different ways.
I hugged him, making a comfortable environment around us, pressing my hand on his back sobbing him.
"There, there, let it out. I will never let you go." I said comforting him, one the most powerful warrior on Equestria, needing what should be a priority in all the mean of life, Love, maternal love for their children. It was just him and Melchior vs the world. From his childhood, he could have everything he wants, but the only thing he wanted it was Estia and Octavius on his side again.
"Thank you." He said still hugging me.
"You are quite welcomed, now, do you want to release?" I offered him the idea.
"Please, more 5 minutes." He asked in a childish tone.
"Sure sweetie," I said giggling. Making him in shock. "Oh, sorry. I just thought."
I forgot it was his nickname when Estia said to him, Sweetie or Baby dragon, it was the only thing she says to him when she is happy.
"No, that's okay, I missed the feeling of heard this again, you can say it." He allowed me to say that. "Mom."
I was shocked he was willing to accept that, and it was so easy, I never thought in my dream, he would be my son, our protector, and one of the most important things of my life. It was rushed, I could agree if I was here, but no, I was there, inside of his life, day to day, month after month, and year after year, I say this is the perfect moment to say I'm his mother, because if someone says otherwise, I will roast them until they burn in the Tartarus and laugh as psychopath with a cynical smile.
"Mom?" He asked me.
"Yes, sweetie?" I returned the question.
"I miss them." He said still hugging me. I could feel the honesty in his voice.
"I know sweetie, but they are proud of you, you caught all the swords you as you could, just for your father. And received the name as your game and last name of your father's book. They couldn't agree more than you did" I said smiling hugging him, that's made him feel relaxed.
"I know." He said releasing me and wiping his tears, I used my magic and brought a towel to him to clean his face. He gave a thankful smile.
And we became silent, not an uncomfortable silence, but a good silence was we are just enjoying our presence and smiled to each and other.
Spike Pov:
Wow, just wow, me and Nurse Redheart were bringing the tea and I decided to make an omelet to him too, but when we were opening the door, we heard part of the story of Ryujin, what happened with his parents, I felt horrible for him. But hearing my mother adopted him, it was a really good thing, I felt happy I have now a big brother.
Nurse Redheart now it's really shocked but decided to touch her shoulder and make her snap.
"Oh, sorry, it's just..."
"Yeah, I know. But come on, or the omelet and the tea will be cold." I said opening the door.
"Hey, guys..."
"We heard you from the outside Spike." They said in unison. DAMMIT, how? I thought they were too distracted to hear me. "Okay, we heard you too. Hi mom, hi bro."
"Hi, Spike." They said in unison.
"Okay, this is creeping me out, can you booth stop doing this?" I replied flinching with the idea of them keep saying at the same time all the sentences during ours, that must be some kind of spell.
"Doing what?" They asked. Okay, now I'm scared.
"That," I shouted pointing the moment they were saying the same thing at the same time. Making them chuckle.
"That's a little payback, for your curiosity, while the Nurse Redheart." Princess Celestia shoot a glare at her, making her gulp for her life.
"Eerrr... Sorry, my highness, I didn't know what happened, I was just curious as Spike and I should have entered the room when we came." She said quickly fearing what would happen if the princess decided to send her to the dungeons.
"You don't need to be sorry Mrs. Redheart, we are thankful because of the booth of you, we had time to talk. Thank you." Mom told her with a warm smile.
"Oh...your welcome your highness." She said while she brought the cart with the cups of tea, and I have a plate with an omelet.
I could hear his stomach making noise, he must be really hungry.
While everypony laughed and Ryujin gave a sheepish grin and blushed. I gave him the omelet who were devoured in a blink.
It was like a wild animal who didn't eat for days.
"Ryujin..." Princess Celestia warned him looking at him raising her eyebrow. "Modes."
"But mom, I'm hungry, and I when I'm really hungry, modes it was out of the question." He snorted while justifying himself.
"Okay, but you need to control yourself." She told him like a reprimand.
He sighed while sipped his tea.
"This will take a while." He said that while we still were looking to him. "Anyway, this gave me one idea."
He put his hands in his pocket and showed his cell phone like he said.
"Do you know how to use a duplicity spell?" He asked while I was smiling with the idea he was coming up.
"Yes, why? Oh, ohhhhh. I know what you want, and I think is really clever. Give me that." Mom caught his cell phone and after glowing her horn. "How many do you want?" She asked interestedly.
"Just for us inside this room, you all know about me, so it would be cool, if all of you have one of these things, but you have to promise me, to never let them does this spell without yours and my permission, because this would be revolutionary and if the evil hands, or bad ponies or the most curious ones. coff...Twilight...coff." He said while coughing on purpose. Our mother didn't look happy but she couldn't blame him, she would do many awful things if she has on her hands the cell phone. "So I decided to reset and customize your cell phone before you leave and I have to tell you, we can communicate with each and other without using magic, and this will have access to information on the internet, videos, music, applications and even games to pass the time."
Our eyes were shining with that thing a little thing could have, and with that, we agreed in to keep the secret but we should show everypony our cell phones but never let them touch them.
This will be a chaos, but I would like to see that.
"So what if I use a spell to paralyze the ponies who will try to steal our cell phones.?" Princess Celestia suggested, and even more, I liked the idea.
"It would be a good idea, really, and before I forget, the battery will need a spell shot to recharge it, one magic shot will make the cell phone works 3 days using the internet, without internet I think it would be 5 days." Then Ryujin started to tell us the instruction, even the Nurse Redheart was interested because she will receive her own.
And after explaining everything, Princess Celestia used the spell and created 3 copies of his cell phone, and Ryujin looked at them and decided to do something on them, he said he was rebooting them because we can't have all his archives because there is some personal stuff on there.
I laughed after look at my mother's face, she was blushing. Hehehe. Anyway. We decided to talk while Ryujin was configuring our cell phones. Then he gave us videos, music, and even some instructions about how to use the internet, he said to me I would learn about games later, I can't wait.
Best gift ever.
"Hey Ryujin, can you tell us about some of your adventures?" I asked hopefully.
"I don't know, it will be a bit long, and I don't want to tell when the others are still outside, sorry Spike." He said apologizing.
"Ah, that's okay, but there is something short to tell us?" I tried again this time I smiled a bit hard.
He rubbed his chin looking at us.
"Hum... I have some funny stories if you want to know about my masters." Now we are talking.
"Sure," I said excitedly.
"I really want to know about them too my son." Our mother was smiling with the idea of hearing some of his stories.
"I would be interested as well." Even the Nurse Redheart was interested.
"Okay, Just let me finish the last one," Ryujin said smiling while finished to configure the last cell phone on his hand. "There, now all of you have the same cell phone as mine. I can teach you how to use them, another day, now mom, use your spell to protect the cell phone, and then you all have to text 4 to 6 numbers on there, it will be your password too. For when they find a way to deal with the paralyze spell, and they curse the person who created the number password."
After I imagined how much Twilight would curse me after that, and how many bad names I would receive because of that made me laugh a bit. I can't blame. It was funny. And it will worths.
We saw Princess Celestia using her spell in the 4 cell phones, making them with a trap to thieves. I received mine and I decided to hide in my pocket, Nurse Redheart and Princess Celestia did the same.
"Okay, now where I should start?" He said thinking about one story for us. "Oh wait I have one good to tell you all."
Twilight Pov:
It was a bit hard helping Pinkie Pie with the ingredients, but we did a really good job, we carried the candies to the hospital. I think it was 10 a.m because we can see some ponies woke up, and the doctors were moving away with the nurses on there.
Pinkie Pie was excited to show them the cakes. And Mrs. Cake was nervous about how to introduce to our friend.
We came near the room, but we saw the door was a bit open and we heard a chuckle from someone.
"What do you think it's happening on there?" Pinkie Pie asked interested, while the others were curious about that too.
"I don't know but I think it's better we came closer to hear them," I suggested while making everypony nodded to my decision.
We approached near the door trying to hear the voice inside.
"And then he feels out the boat because of his captain, while his friends screamed the captain is a dumbass, my master didn't move a muscle but when they brought him from the ocean he was murmuring. "One... day...I'm...going...to...cut...him...down..."
Then I heard a big laugh from everypony in the room.
I opened the door, watching them still laughing.
"Oh hey Twilight, you finally came, oh Hey Pinkie, it's nice to see you again," Ryujin said smiling at us and waving to Pinkie.
"Hi Ryujin, how are you feeling today? I brought my boss here to meet you. Mrs. Cake." Pinkie Pie said holding Mrs. Cake and releasing near to Ryujin.
She didn't imagine to saw someone like him, a furless kind, I think she is trying to guess what he is.
"Yep, I'm not a pony, yep know you are sorry, no I don't mind at all, don't worry, if you want a long story short, I'm a creature who received a title of a dragon. But I'm a good dragon, like Spike." Ryujin just smiled at her, and said all these arguments, making Mrs. Cake snap from her thoughts, and when she tried to say something, she just blinked because he answered all her apologies.
Ryujin just snorted and a laughed a bit.
After taking a deep breath, Mrs. Cake decided to another strategy.
"Er... Nice to meet you Sir..." She decided to be polite to him. "Pinkie Pie wanted me to meet you."
"Suiryu, Ryujin Suiryu. And likewise Mrs. Cake, you should be proud of Pinkie Pie, she has great skills of a bakery, and I think the good student always have the best from the best teachers." He said in a respectful tone.
This comment caught her off guard, she didn't imagine to have a compliment from him.
"Er... Thank you, Sir. Suiryu, I'm just flattered..." Mrs. Cake blushed from his compliment. "And Pinkie always surprised us with her skills, she usually has almost everything done, before we even ask. I didn't teach her that skills, just how to bake."
"A teacher and a master is always an example of who we are now, they are necessary for our improving, never forget about that Mrs. Cake." He said in a confident tone.
Mrs. Cake nodded understanding what he said, while Pinkie Pie showed next to him.
"Hey Ryujini, I want to know, what story were you talking about," Pinkie asked excited, making Spike, Princess Celestia and Nurse Redheart laughing again.
"Oh, yeah, Spike asked me if I know something funny about my masters, and I just told them, one of my masters funny moments," Ryujin said snickering, while the others were trying to hold their laughs.
"AWWWWWW, I WANT TO LAUGH TOO. IT'S MY ELEMENT, PLEASE TELL ONE MORE, ONE MORE." Pinkie Pie screamed excited and shaking his body with her strength.
"Yeah, Ryujin, I want to know too." I decided to say, it was unfair he told them one funny story, and I wanted to know about his masters.
"That would be really prosperous, and I would be willing to hear." Princess Luna said coming near me, I'm trying to be calm around her. But I won't for much time, if she came closer than me I will push her away.
Mrs. Cake didn't know what's happening but in her eyes, she is curious as like us.
"Okay, Okay, I will tell one more, and this time everypony will laugh your ass out," Ryujin said laughing after remembering something. "Okay, one day, one of the students of my master... Zaraki Kenpachi..."
"WHAT?" I screamed making everypony looking at me, I gulped and I give a sheepish smile. "sorry..."
He sighed.
"Before somepony interrupt me again..." He said narrowing his eyes at me, making me blush a bit more. "Let me finish and you will laugh, not be in panic okay?"
Everypony nodded even I. I felt a bit ashamed of my reaction.
"Anyway, his name is Ikaku, and he was a bit stubborn and stupid and want a fight with everyone in the dojo, however one of them wasn't from there, he was the guy who defeated my master once, his name is Ichigo, he was indeed strong, but he has some stupid inside his mind as well... Okay everyone on there is a stupid, even I was..." He said making everypony chuckled from the way he was acting. "Anyway, they were messing with each and other, provoking and beating with each and other. And when they decided to get into a fight, who do you think it entered in the dojo?"
"Your master?" Everypony asked imagining the irony.
"Yep, and when they were shocked to see my master again, they with me bowed to him, while these two stupids turned around and my master as said, "What are you doing here Ichigo?" Ignoring Ikaku, while Ichigo said he was healed. In the exact moment, he told him that, my master did cut his wooden sword with his metal sword and he decided to have a fight with him again, using just one attack he almost destroyed the dojo" He said making everypony wide open to his commentary. "But when he found who was hit, it wasn't Ichigo. IT WAS IKAKKU HAHAHAHAAH, AND ICHIGO WERE RUNNING AWAY SCREAMING "ARE YOU CRAZY IF YOU THINK I WILL FIGHT YOU AGAIN"
"And then I and my friend Yachiru screamed, hey master he is getting away."
"And then he screamed, "HEY ICHIGO COME BACK HERE AND FIGHT ME."
I couldn't hold my laugh, nopony could, everypony laughed from that stupidity, I knew his master Kenpachi was crazy for a fight, but this is really awful, he is indeed a psychopath.
"I love the story Ryujin, can you please tell me later?" Pinkie Pie said excitedly.
"Sure, I have a lot of stories on here, but I think it's better to let that for another day, and I'm really interested to eat some of this candies you brought here." He said while he was looking at the candies we brought from Sugarcube Corner.
"Oh yeah, go ahead, actually I while do you eat, can we talk with you and ask some questions?" I offered the diplomacy of questions, everypony asking question and answer it would make a good conversation from both parts.
"Questions again? Why don't we do something more interesting?" He suggested smiling at us.
"And what would be," I said interested.
"Not of questions just affirmations, we said information not by us, but for the others, you will try to guess what do you know about me, and I will do the same for you, okay?" He asked, it was attempting game, and I would like to try.
"I would like to do that," I said smiling.
"Oh, me too, this will be duppy funny." Pinkie Pie said pouncing on her place.
"I would like to do that Ryujin." Princess Celestia came on my side.
"Me too." Princess Luna too.
"Me too." Even Spike.
I saw the only ponies who weren't interested it was Mrs. Cake and Nurse Redheart.
"Okay, to be fair it will be on this way, each one will say something about me, and I will do the same with you, like an example, if Spike said about me, I will say about him, and it will be the other pony time, if Pinkie Pie say something about me, I will say about her. The other ponies will be quiet until they received their time because we need to concentrate and accept, not about to argue or ask many questions, this is just answers and not questions will be allowed. And it will be on this way until everypony is satisfied." He explained the rules, this will be interesting.
"Ryujin Pov."
After watching so many episodes of My little pony, I could say things about them, and if they try to do something to make me blush two can play this game as well.
I smiled deviously inside my mind and forced to not show them, because what I could say it will be interesting.
"Okay, who is the first?" I asked while I saw somepony poncing, my first thought, Pinkie Pie.
"ME, me, me."
"Okay, go ahead, you can have the first shot," I said excited, knowing Pinkie Pie I can even imagine she could know about me and Princess Celestia. She has the same power of broken fourth wall.
(You are damn right I have.) *giggling.
Pinkie...
(Pinkie)
(Ops, sorry.)
Okay, I want to know, what did you do?
(ME? This is what she wants, I couldn't say no to what she asked.)
And what she asked you?
(She could be a reader and give me some tips and ideas for the next chapters.)
"Oh dear," I said making Pinkie Pie giggled.
"Yep, Ryujin, now I overcome you." She said using a serious and scariest tone using a freak smile to me, DAMN PINKAMENA, while making everypony confuse, she scared me a lot.
I forced a smile.
"Okay, you can be the first," I said while I sweat a little.
"Oh silly Ryujini, I will not say something to harm your feelings or humiliate you. I will just say you like cakes we never heard before, a corn cake." Pinkie Pie said, never I felt such relief before, I thought she would drop a moment, she is clever, really clever.
"Yep, I like corn cake, the same way I like carrot cake and chocolate cake," I said wiping my sweat. I think I can trust her, remember Pinkie, with great powers, has a great responsibility, use this just for good and not for evil, and pranks.
(Awww, why not?)
Because in the end will come back and eat your butt hard, trust me, it will make the readers confused.
(Okie Dokie Lokie.)
(Okay, now it's time to stop that, stop doing that in this chapter, let the other chapters for break the fourth wall. Let us enjoy for some slice of life, okay?)
Sure thing.
"Wait, really?" Mrs. Cake asked interested, making me snap from my thoughts.
"Yep, if you make a milk cream and add as filling in the cake, it will make you addicted to the flavor," I said while my mind desired to have some. Dammit.
"I think I will try that later." Mrs. Cake touched her chin, thinking. I think she will like to test that recipe.
"Oh, oh, me too." Pinkie Pie said excitedly.
"Okay, now it's my turn. Hum... Oh yeah, you have a secret base to plan your parties for everypony." I said using my knowledge, without using something extreme as showing some of her deep secrets.
Pinkie Pie froze. Jackpot.
"How did you know?" She asked in disbelief.
"You know how," I said looking at her.
(This made her became red of anger, she shouted in the air with her arms open.
"INTERNEEEEEEEEET." Pinkie Pie vs Internet.
That was my thought, just kidding, but she shouted the same way, but it will not be that kind of fiction. )
It's better to make that like a broken fourth wall because that would make the things worse than before.
The others were speechless of what they heard. Pinkie Pie shocked, she didn't say anything, but her silence told them the truth.
"Really, do you have a base just for you plan the parties?" Spike asked curiously.
"So that's how you have a party for everypony." Mrs. Cake pondered understanding.
"Okay everypony I think you forgot what I said about make questions, so it's your turn now Spike" I suggested making him snap.
"Oh, that, my turn, okay..." Spike pondered what to say, I guess because we didn't have much time talking with each and other. "Oh I have one, I think you had piss your pants when Zaraki decided to train you."
"No, that's..." So then I imagined his cynical face, making me training like a hell because his style of training is survive fighting me every day. If you survive day after day, so you completed the training, but that training it was 365 days of pure fighting and running. "Now thinking about it, you were right, I became a bit paranoid because of him."
Everypony laughed at the idea, it's funny because it's true, trying to survive him or training with him, should be a really awful idea. Now it's my time, Spike, what I should say about Spike? I think I have a good one.
"You have a crush on Rarity," I said guessing one of the most important things about him.
He was a bit shocked but he was happy I guessed right. Blushing like tomato, making everypony at the room giggled.
"How did you know that?"He asked me in disbelief and in fear.
"Two reasons, because it was obvious, looking at your face when you think about her I can see hearts at your eyes, I recommend you look for the doctor ask about that, and two...Internet..."I said thinking about many reasons, and one of them is maybe Rarity is using him without him see it, and I need to know and destroy this crush and make him like another pony. That's my mission.
"Okay, now it's Twilight's time," I said while I was watching her, and she was trying to read me with her eyes, like if I was a book, how dare she. I wouldn't do that, but now I want.
"Looking at you, I can see you are holding a lot of secrets, and some of them you are willing to tell me, but others you are trying to hide to me. I think you are avoiding things for me because of some reasons. And I will find out, even if that take years of my life trying to discover them." She said approaching near me, in my face. Is she challenge me? Oh Twilight, you screwed... AGAIN.
I did my best to not show a reaction to her reply.
"You have fear of quesadillas," I said in a boring tone, but I decided to hold my laugh looking at face, it was a slow motion of face reaction, from serious one her smiling was widening and one of her eyes were shrinking and one was widening as if she was an indeed a cartoon. I could imagine the Sponge Bob brain scene inside of her mind. Pinkie Please remind me one day to watch that scene.
(Oooh I like it. And I have a better idea, I found a gif)
Twilight's brain exe. stopped working, needing a reboot.
"Okay, do you want to wait until she unfroze or do you want to continue the game?" I asked shrugging my hands.
"I can wait, but I think I would like to have a camera for I can see it all my life," Spike said laughing.
"Oh, sure." I caught my cell phone and took a good picture of Twilight.
"Later I will send to you Spike," I said holding my laugh.
The others were snickering until Twilight came back.
"NO, I'M NOT, THEY WERE JUST..."
"Cheese?" I asked raising my eyebrow.
"YES THAT. Wait a minute" She said narrowing her eyes at me, but everypony even I burst in laugh. Princess Luna and Spike were on the floor, and Pinkie Pie was bowing herself because she couldn't breathe, Princess Celestia and Mrs. Cake were laughing as well, and Nurse Redheart was shaking her head while laughing.
Me, I laughed so much I could feel my belly is hurt.
Twilight accepted but I could see a small smoke of anger in her head.
"Okay, next," I said recovering my breath.
"I think it's my time. But let things more interesting. I will tell everything I know about you, and you will do the same as for me." Princess Celestia raised her eyebrow interested to challenge me.
"I accept the challenge, okay, you're the first," I said waving my hands up. Giving her the initiative.
"Okay, Sweetie." This made my spine shriven and while everypony was looking at her in disbelief. "You are a good warrior, a pretty much savior of Equestria and a pacifically one when you desire to be, you enjoy entertaining with movies, animation and read interesting things, enjoys to listen music, plays instruments as Ocarina and others, enjoys games and plays, like jokes, has a good taste for candies, but your favorite food is meat, you are a good heart guy, who passed many adventures in your childhood and you accomplished a mission of your father for collecting all the swords you could in 10 years. You lost people you loved most, you felt betrayed by others, and even has a friend who was envy for many people of your kind."
Okay, my mouth dropped open. Not just me but everypony in the room has wide eyes wasn't open and mouth dropped.
"Okay..." I said nodding to her. "It's my time, Princess Celestia, known as nicknames as Momlestia and Trollestia, you were not only a Princess but a good warrior in your past, having to deal with so many problems and stress over this 1000 years, having the ponies you loved betraying you because of an envy of one of the hardest things you have ever deal, having a job you almost hate and love every day, protect the ponies you love but sacrificing the things you enjoy and the freedom you desired, has a motherful heart, always doing your best for everypony, a wise pony, a cake lover, who likes to eat cake in the breakfast, lunch and dinner time every day, a good teacher who stressed out for days trying to figure out where you would send your student and worrying about every kind of problem she would be there. And just some hours ago decided to adopt me because you could see in my heart what was missing in my life, and you decided to not give up from me."
Okay, now I made everypony in the room unless Spike, Princess Celestia, and Nurse Redheart, open their mouths on the floor. But Princess Celestia hugged me, like what I said about her.
"You played very well my little son."
"Okay, mom, but I think it's better you explain what you and I said some minutes ago because I think we have broken them," I said making her, Spike and Nurse Redheart giggle.
Melchior Pov:
I still tried to figure out what happened today, Schmied was a bit nervous after I told him everything, he told me it was something I should figure out for myself. I don't know why he said that and what he is trying to hide.
So I decided to ignore that for a while, but I think if I talk to Mr. Thanatos or the Boss, they would answer me.
I closed my tent and decided to hide my stuff. Getting ready to go home... I just turned around...
"I have everything you need." My heart stopped, my soul frozen, my body was trembling.
My nightmare came to life and was looking at me.
"Err... Hello...Mr. Mascate..."
I'm soo doomed.
