The Brother's Adventure

by lightningman


Chapter 5 - Back to School

Once I was back inside. Everyone stayed away from me. Mainly because of my mask. But everyone was surprised to see me with a suitcase and a full backpack. I made my way to the gym. Pinkie Pie was still working on the party.
"Hey Pinks," I say as I take off my mask. Pinkie heard her name and turned towards me before I had managed to get my face mask on.
"He..." She gasps loudly as she runs and takes my hood off. Her hair deflates a little as she spots me. "What happened to you?"
"A lot of stuff. You want the long story or the Short story?"
"Um... I'm kinda busy so I'll take the short story."
"Got struck by lightning, got kicked out of my house for being a brony. Need you to help me build a home in the Equipment room." I point to the room in question.
"Y-You got kicked out of your house?" She asked tearing up a bit.
"Yeah. So did my brother. But that's beside the point. I need you to keep my appearance and the fact that I'm homeless a secret. Can you do this for me?"
"Sure." She nods.
"Pinkie Promise," I say seriously. She holds out her pinkie. "Not that Pinkie Promise." Her eyes widen as she knows what I'm talking about.
"How'd you know about that? Are you the psychic and not Twilight?"
"No." I shake my head. "I just said I was a brony. That's all the answer you need. So will you do this or not?"
"Cross my heart. Hope to Fly, Stick a cupcake in my eye." She said while actually sticking a cupcake in her eye. She smiled and licked it back off.
"Thank you." I smile. Pinkie then surprised me and hugged me.
"But If you need anything like food or a different place to sleep. Come to me alright?"
"Um... alright." I nod. Pinkie smiled and let go of me. She grabbed my suitcase and when she tried to pull it. It wouldn't budge.
"Whoa. what's in this?"
"A lot of crap." I grab the handle and bring it to the Equipment lockup. Pinkie and I started to work on a place for me. Once finished I began to furnish it with all of my technology. I was almost finished when I heard the front gym door open.
"(Beep.) Pinkie Someone's here." I whisper to her. "Cut them off while I hide all of this."
"Ok Xavy." She nods and runs out of the Equipment lockup. "Oh. Hi Sunset."
"Hi. What were you just doing?"
"I was just getting some more things for the party out of there." She smiled. I was rushing to cover up my home as quietly as I could. All the while cursing under my breath.
"Are you sure? Because I was told that that kid in the black came in here."
"Who? Xayvier?" She said. "He came and went. Just asked me about some details of the party."
"So Xayvier is his name? What's his last name?"
"Um... I actually don't know." I could almost hear Pinkie shrug.
"Ok." I could also feel the heat of anger coming off Ms.Bacon hair. At that point, I had finished making it. "Well, you don't mind if I check out the Equipment storage, do you?"
"It's a huge mess in there." Pinkie said trying to give me time. I decided to help her out. the equipment room was currently spotless. So Sunset would know she was lying. I looked around and at the top of a shelf, I noticed a bunch of metal poles that looked like they were for tennis. I double jumped and pulled them all down, creating a huge crash and scattering them around the place. I then jumped into my hideout as Pinkie and Sunset came in.
"You see? A mess." She pointed to the metal poles scattered around the place.
"Hmm... alright then. But I'll tell you this. Diane. If you ever go behind my back. i'll make sure you pay for it." With that Sunset left and I let out a silent sigh of relief. A few seconds later Pinkie looked inside of my base.
"Can I come in?" She asked and I nodded making room for her.
"Thanks for covering for me." Pinkie said
"I should be saying the same thing to you." I smile and patted her on the back gently. Pinkie smiled at me. Her hair poofed up back to normal when she saw me smiling.
"But do you know what Twilight is doing?" She asked me.
"Yeah." I nod. "But If I tell you. Tell her it was just a hunch."
"Ok." She nods.
"Twilight is a pony princess from an alternate world. the crown has a magical element in it the powers of 5 other magic elements. Without it, none of them work anymore and she needs them to save her world. If she doesn't get the crown back the night of the Fall Formal. She'll be stuck in this world for a long time."
"Really?" Pinkie asks amazed.
"Yep."
"Alright." She smiles and hugs me. But I swear I could see her blush for a second when she let go. "But What's your next class."
"What period is it?"
"The last one."
"Gym."
"Hey! That's my next class."
"But isn't the gym being used right now."
"There's a second gym here silly." She giggles. "But... the teacher is a meany pants."
"Let me guess. Purely a guess here. But is his name Sombra?"
"Yes! How'd you know?"
"He's another character in Equestria." I get out of the fort. I extend to help Pinkie out. She smiles and takes it as we leave. As we walk out of the gym, I put my mask in my pocket and put my face mask on. We eventually hit the gym and I line up with the other people in the gym as Pinkie changes into her gym clothes.
"ALRIGHT! We apparently have a new student here today." Sombra walks out of his office and looks at me. "What's your name?"
"Xayvier," I say calmly.
"WHAT WAS THAT?" He yells at me.
"If you continue yelling, my name is gonna be 'The person who shoved his foot up Sombra's (Beep.)'" Everyone stares at me in shock. "You heard me perfectly well the first time. I'm not repeating myself." Sombra growled at me.
"5 laps around the track. now." He says in anger. I shrug and begin running at my top speed. I finished in 3 minutes. Everyone looked at me amazed.
"So you feel like lipping off some more?" Sombra asked.
"Yeah. Your a terrible teacher that acts edgy, But because of that your wife probably left you." I say calmly. Everyone's jaw drops except for Sombra, who had a vein pulsing in his temple.
"Let's see how you do in wrestling." He turns to Bulk Biceps. "You. You're against the new kid."
"My name is Xayvier," I say as I get on the wrestling mat. Bulk Biceps looks at me and sighs. Once he gets ready, he mouths "Sorry." Before he charges at me. I smile and when he tries to grab me, his hands go right through me. Everyone gasps as my body almost appears to be smoke. I disappear into a shadow as I twirl around Bicep. I reappear behind him.
"You want to try again?" I say as I tap his shoulder. He looks at me in amazement before making a grab for me. I blink behind him and kick his knee out from under him. I smile as I turn on my music, blocking out all sounds.

Bulk Biceps gets up and looks at me. He seems to be getting frustrated. I could see Sombra yelling at him to take me down. Bulk tries to punch me. I dodge and hold out my hand which was glowing brightly. I stop time completely as I walk to Sombra and pick him up. I put him in front of Bicep's fist that almost hit me. I get into where Sombra was standing and end Bend time. There was a loud crack as Sombra was sent across the mat. I smile as Sombra gets up with a bloody nose. He glares at me. He begins to talk to me. But I couldn't hear him. I take out my headphones and let them hang out of my hood.
"What did you say? I wasn't listening."
"I'll make sure Principal Celestia hears this."
"Yeah. I'd love to hear your excuse about a kid with magical powers causing his own student to punch him in the face." I smile. Sombra glared at me.
"Get out of this school."
"Hmm.... Nah."
"WHAT!!" He yells at me.
"I said no." I shrug. "I would have thought that at least a gym teacher would be capable of understanding that. Or did molesting your own students make that word blacklisted in your mind?" I smile as I could almost hear the students holding their breath.
"Leave. This. gym." Sombra said with barely contined rage. It was obvious that he wanted to throttle me.
"Fine." I shrug. I smile and did the first part of the two fingered salute. But when i brought my hand down, i gave him the finger. With that. I left the gym.
