//------------------------------// // Old friends // Story: Fallen Order // by Jar Man //------------------------------// "Hey" "Yeah?" "Do you ever get pee shivers?" Colin looked at me in confusion. He chuckled at that."What?" "No no no hear me out, like your taking a piss and you get like a chill down your spine making you piss everywhere" I make a pissing gesture for effect. He shook his head. "Dude I think you have a problem no one gets pee shivers" I didnt believe him cause I know someone else had to get pee shivers, maybe one of the princesses do but I'll ask them later. A pony came up to us before saluting. "Sirs there are nobles and EBI agents here" he informed us. "The fuck is an EBI?" Asked Colin. "Equestria Bureau of Investigations sir" the pony explained. "Oh no Colin the Fed's are on to us again" I stood up and ram to a wall trying to hide as a joke. "Well I told ya they would find out about those kids you killed, better go see what they need though" I nodded and walked out the door with the pony and Colin behind me. I went to the door and poked my head outside to see the noble I tried to drown a while back, a few guards and some ponies in suits. They all looked at me with the noble giving me a death glare. "I don't want your girl scout cookies fuck off" I say shutting the door. "We would like to ask you a few questions about what happend a few days ago aith the assassination attempt on princess Celestia" one of the ponies in ths suits said stopping the door. I groaned amd openwd it back up. "What about it?" "Well when we asked her personal guards about it they said you amd her went to the balcony of princess Twilights castle and comwback with her bleeding out. Can you tell us the whole story from your perspective" The other pony in a suit asked. "Alright uh we were talking about some personal stuff and just chilled out on the balcony then I heard a noise from above us and got into a scuffle with someone I genuinely disliked cause he's a pussy and tried to attack the princess so I used my knife as it was my only defence but Johnny used it to throw into the princesses chest" I explained as best I could. The pony started writing things down on a note pad, I stood there waiting for them to leave but sadly they had more to say. "So it was your knife that injured her?" The noble piped in. I knew what he was getting at but I'd probably kill him I mean its whatever. "Yeah that was unfortunate but maybe if your elite guards would have been there maybe they could be the canonfauder so I could go in and kill Johnny" I scoffed. The noble glared at me but I don't give a fuck I could kick his ass into next week. "You doubt our guards ability?" "Bro even my guys have a better chance at fighting than yours and plus why didn't her security follow her where ever she went, if I had to guess they are pretty retarded" I put bluntly but It was true I'm not in charge of protecting Sunbutt fucking figure it out. The fbi knock offs just looked at me with their gay ass shades on. Two could play at that game, I took out my shades and put them on my helmet and crossed my arms, they weren't amused by it. "Are we done here I have a faggot to hunt down?" I asked since they were just standing around being jackoffs. The EBI ponies and the noble left without saying a word so I went back inside. I went to the war room to see what the boys were up to, I opened the door and saw the empty chairs that was once Ajaxs, I was going to make him the new leader of the Warriors of Sunlight if we ever left but now that choice went out the window. "Yo Kobe we got a situation up in the Griffin Empire," Kelso waved me over. "A certain person made an attempt on Trajans life and killed him...Aellô had to take the spot of emporer since he's the only one smart enough to lead" I sighed and leaned back in my chair. "Damn his kids must be fucking crushed man. So what does he need from us?" "Aellô says they have the capital on lockdown and they believe Johnny is still in the country as shortly after a town was burned down with no survivors" Kelso pointed to a road along the path from the Griffin Empire. We decided to go after an hour of talking, I went to get Liberty Divison mobile and left Stone Wall in charge of the fort. The Griffins that were in the WoS took the news hard, some were once citizens of the empire and joined us to protect their homes, now they were pissed and wanted to bring Johnny to justice and that's what we will do. (2 hours later) While Colin and Kelso had the troops together I went to the hospital to inform the princesses of us heading out. I walked into the room and it just spelled dread and sadness, I thought I stubled into an emo party for a second. Luna sat by Celestias bed with no emotion showing and Twilight was sitting in the chair next to me. "Hey uh shits hit the fan up at the Griffin Empire, the emperor was...killed" I announced. They all looked at me with shock as I expected, Twilight was the first to respond. "So your going over there?" I nodded "Yeah hopefully we can get Johnny and put a stop to this," I looked over to Celestia who looked better than the other night. "How you feeling princess thinking about retirement?" Celestia snorted at that."No I am not and you'd be the last creature I'd allow to raise the sun" I put a hand over my chest in a aching manner. "Well anyways I better get going we got a long week ahead of us" I said beading out the door. I walked down the hallway then a hand tapped my shoulder, I turned around a was greeted with Twilights face a few inches from mine. "I wanna come with you" she stated. I didn't know if that was a good idea. "Uhm...are you sure you want to I mean since the princess probably needs you and all that?" I asked with uncertainty. She shook her head. "Not at the moment, Luna said she wanted to stay and keep an eye on Celestia, royal guards will be stationed all throughout the hospital" Just as she said that a squad of guards walked around the corner and posted up along the hallway. They dawned the purple and gold armor that looked nice and shiny. I debated the choice for a few seconds but decided she should stay here. "Well then Spike would need you I know he's probably tired of the communist you have in that eye sore of a castle" I chuckled. "You sure you don't want me to come along?" Her ears drooped. "I don't want to end up getting you hurt, we'll be fine I promise" I put a hand on her shoulder. Before we parted she gave me a tight hug and kissed my helmet to my surprise, she backed up and smiled I just turned around and speed walked out the doors wiping my helmet off. (Griffin Empire) The airship arrived at the docks of the Griffin Empire. Aellô was there to welcome our little hunting party. I walked down the ramp and went up to shake his claw. "Kobe my friend I'm so glad you could make it in our time of need" He smiled. I could see the tiredness in his eyes from being im charge. "No need to thank me man its good to be back, I'm so sorry about Emperor Trajan" I still felt guilty about failing to stop Johnny and due to that I technically got the emperor killed. "Yes its a sad day today and now the children no longer have a father. Come, let us Talk of our plans and figure out how we can stop this coward from taking anymore lives" We followed him to the palace, as we walked down the streets Griffin citizens looked at us with hope and surprise in their eyes. It seemed to them like we were like saviours to them even though my failure cause their grief. (Palace court yard) We were at a table with Aellô and his generals to discuss our plan of action to hunt down Johnny. "Okay gents so during the events of the two attacks our target must be heading far north" I pointed to a cave where I can send scouts. "So Aellôs scouts said they spotted our guy in the cave North west of the attacked village. I'll lead the first assault team, Colin and Kelso I need y'all to wait on the airships with the canons locked and fucking loaded if I don't send a letter in an hour I want you to block off the cave entrace to trap him in there. "I shall send my sentinals as reinforcements for you, my sentinal lieutenant Alastair can help with the creatures that lurk about up there" Aellô said. Another Griffin with black feathers and white accents saluted he must be Alastair. I gave the others a few hours to go see old friends or family while me, the boys, Lucky and Dotharam went shopping for anything we thought was cool. Our first stop was the clothes shop, I wanted some more clothes and Ponyville lacked the right ones which is big gay. "Ooh shit dude look!" Kelso called. I turned around and he was wearing a tall white cowboy hat. "Doug Dimmadome owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome!" I picked up a hat that looked like big hat logans with the gold rims and everything. I put it on and it covered my top vision so now I only saw everyone's waist. After a few minjtes of looking around we all walked out wearing different hats. We went to other stores where we found new weapons and a old war building that showed the wars the Griffin Empires fought from the siege of Griffin Stone to the latest civil war. I found the war between them and Equestria that was when those shitty looking yet very good guns were used. Turns out it was so deadly even the Griffins stopped using them as it just shredded the body apart. I got a hard on from that as I loved to rip and tear through my enemies. "We should head out sir its almost time to move on the cave" Dotharam insisted. I checked the time and we had 30 minutes before we left. "Oh shit lets go!" (30 minutes later) We loaded onto the airships and sailed to the cave. I got weird looks from my troops who just smiled and snickered at my big ass hat on my helmet. I just grinned under my helmet thinking of the fear I must emit with the biggest hat in Equestria my enemy will cower beneath my might and all shall know I KOBE OF THE WARRIORS OF SUNLIGHT IS- "Bro you good?" Colin wavwd his hand in front me. I snapped out my glory and looked at him. "Huh?" "You looked like you wanted to kill everyone on the ship" I looked at everyone on the ship and shook my head. "Oh no I was just thinking about how I will strike fear into the hearts of my enemy with my hat" I said clentching my fist. "Ah Okay have fun with that" he said walking away. "Oh I will..." (Cave entrance) We marched off the ships and I made a head count of the few thousand that was with us. I led a group of 300 men as to not het us crammed in the caves, we stpped over the bodies of so me griffins that crossed paths with Johnny they didn't have a chance. "Sir you think we'll get the killer today?" Asked a pony. I looked at him and patted bus shoulder. "We just gotta have faith my friend and my faith believes we will get him today" "If we can take on the demons of Tarturis then we can take on one guy" He prided and he was right we did take on Tarturis and made it out, we are like the navy SEALs of Equestria but better. We had took light torches so the others could see, I used my eye to see into the darkness the light couldn't touch. It was a little wet in here but not enough to throw us off balance so if we did get into a scuffle we should be fine. The sound of blades scraping the walls could be heard ahead I could see the hooded Johnny coming closer and closer. "Ready men here he comes!" They raised their shields to block off the exit leaving me in his way. "No running away this time Johnny" He chuckled darkly. "Oh trust me I plan on staying" "Good" I imbued my sword and we circled each other like wolves. He only had one of the twin swords due to the small cavern it'll be hard to use big weapons like his. He jumped forward and almost cut my arm but I dodged it and countered with a side swipe digging into his side. I pulled it out and went for a stab but he kicked my blade and hit me with his sword like a bat, I rolled to his left and cut his leg and back stepped to give me some breathing room. Johnny jumped to the right and went for the overhead strike and catching me in the shoulder. I grunted in pain then micked his shin and pulled out my pipegun and blasted his kneecaps. "What the fuck kinda day shit is that!?" He shouted. I just holstered it and went back to using my sword. He took the first step towards me stepping on my trip wired bomb sending him backwards. I leaped forward and we connected blades, I kept my shield on my back to prevent a backstab and to give my sword more power. We got a few cuts on each other before one of my guys threw a spear landing in Johnnys back, I kicked him in the balls making him fall down. We took this chance to grab him and I pulled out some shackles but he already killed a pony then pushed me away. The others charged in after him and some were tossed around and into others then Dotharam swept Johnnys legs and we jumped on him with me letting Lucky cuff him up. "Ha! Not so tough now bitch!" I punched him in the helmet. We got off him and I stabbed his legs so he could be immobilized as we took him. Lucky came up to me. "Sir we have 7 casualties and 3 wounded" "Have a few guys grab the bodies so we can get them buried and I'll go send this dick head back to Equestria" I ordered before dragging Johnny out of the cave. "Yes sir!" Lucky grabbed a squad and they got the bodies out and loaded onto the ship so we could take them home. Colin spreaded his hands "Well that was quick only 5 more minutes before all hell broke loose up here" "Lets get ba-" I was interrupted by the sounds of demonic screams came from the caves an demons began to pour out. "Defensive positions!" Alastair ordered. His sentinals held back the demons while we fired the canons at them. Most of the demons were imps or titans, I still wondered where the behemoth went and quite frankley I'm glad I don't know. My guys we circling around and attacking from both left and right slowly diminishing their numbers. I loaded canon ball after Cannon ball having the time of my life blowing the demons up, the black ooze of their blood was so satisfying to see that I didn't want it to end. I wanted them to suffer for the nightmares I have almost every night. They started pushing the demons back into the cave and we aimed at the top of the cave and started firing. The rocks came down and crushed the frontal assault of demkns whilst trapling the others I side for good. Everyone cheered except me as my eye stsrted to hurt again, I grabbed my left side of my helmet and tapped on it to try and make it stop. My nightmares have died down a bit ever since we defeated Tirek so now my dreams only consist of the usual me being the one letting my friends die or the one killing them in horrid ways Twilight worried I was gonna get hurt if the nigjtmares weren't felt with but I haven't allowed anyone in my head after I woke up from my coma state. I get paranoid about it and never know if it's a trick from the eye or really them so I left it alone for me to deal with. The pain went away and we stsrted loading the others on board but Alastair and his sentinals stayed. "Yo Alastair you coming or nah!?" I shouted over to him. He shook his head."No my friend I shall wait here in case the monster try to escape. Go tell Emperor Aellô of our victory and make the coward pay!" I nodded to him and waited for the rest of the WoS to get on before we left back to the citadel. I went to the bow of the ship to clear my head of the pained heache that soon came. The nurse lady who watched over me while I was on my death bed came by a while back and told me my brain was having lots of chaotic activity that could be the cause of my pain. She offered to put my ass on meds but I said fuck no I ain't gonna go out like that. I started thinking about when I had the choice to stop the curse and have the boys go home. How would their parents feel seeing their kids with scars all over them and looking like fucking towers of doom. Maybe they think we're dead...i so definitely how that played out. (Earth, Oklahoma city) "8 months since the dissapearence of the three friends and the police still have no lead. Some Officials think they ran away but officer Richards says otherwise" "When we searched one of the young boys room we found a broken knife with a black substance on it. We believe that the young man got into an altercation with the kidnapper and wouldn't go without a fight as of now our scientist still haven't figured out what the black substance is but hopefully we find something" (The ship) Oh yeah they think were dead most definitely. I went down to the brig and sat on a cot while we sailed through the sky to give Johnny the judgment he deserves.
