//------------------------------// // Well Sh*t // Story: Ultron: Bringer of Harmony // by OPTIMUSPRIMEG1 //------------------------------// Tim's POV As I flew with the Pelicans, my mind was filled with videos of the Main 6, how I got these you may ask, well, spy tech does wonders. I watched Twilight lift an Ursa Minor while make the wind blow on reeds, levitating a water tower into a barn while filling it with cow milk, etc etc. 'Hmmm, she must be using more magic than an adept unicorn mage. Definitely going on the 'Extremely Dangerous' list, right under Luna, that makes her number four, Luna three, Tia number two, and Pinkie Pie number one.' I thought, going over the next list, 'Dangerous yet Easy to Beat' list, Rainbow Dash is number one, Applejack second and Rarity is third, you can guess the threat level on Fluttershy. "Sir, the Crystal Empire is three miles away." JARVIS said, snapping out of my thoughts. "Thank you JARVIS, have the Pelicans land here, I'll go and introduce myself. If things go great, I'll call you, but if you don't hear from me in ten minutes, get out of here." I said, hearing JARVIS giving a brief 'yes sir,' as the Pelicans began their descent towards the land below, I increased my speed and blasted off towards not the gates, but the window leading into the throne room, breaking the sound barrier,I was inside the throne room. Using my hands built in jets to slow me down, I looked around, seeing the shocked faces of several Crystal Guards, Shining Armor and Cadence, "Hello your majesties, my name is Ultron, and I came here see-" I was interrupted by a powerful blast of magic hitting me square in the chest, sending me flying backwards towards a wall, well I thought it was a wall. It turned out to be a door. Too smalls to be the main doors to the throne room, sliding on my back, my head hit something. Using my six eyes, I scanned the room, seeing baby toys and books. "Huh, so I'm in that point of time." I then heard giggling followed by a slight tapping on my forehead, looking up to be face to face with the most adorable sight to be seen which is none other than Flurry Heart. She looked at me with curiosity and awe. The smile always present as she used her front hooves to tap against my mental head, almost like a drum. Getting up in a crouching position in front of the young alicorn, I watched as she tried to grab my face, I simply booped her nose, causing her eyes to stare at her muzzle, she then giggled and tried to do the same to me. Which I let her, and when she she did, I let out a cartoon honk, causing Flurry to go into a fit of laughter. "Aren't you adorable, but I feel like I'm forgetting something." "Get away from my daughter!!" I heard Shining yell, ah, that's what I was forgetting. Looking to Shining Armor and the rest of the Crystal Guards, Cadence was behind Shining Armor. "Or else!!" his horn glowed threatenly, but I shrugged it off. "You would try and fire a spell at me, knowing your daughter is in harm's way. You're an idiot." I simply stated, "Don't worry, I got this." I picked up Flurry, who giggled. I booped her nose again, and handed her over to Cadence. She and everyone was confused and shocked, then walked back to my spot. "Okay, now we can start fighting." I said giving a thumbs up, even if they don't know what it means. Now, you might think, 'do I have a plan?' 'Do I think I can win?' well, I've had a plan from the start, which Cadence should start speaking now. "Thank you. Umm, would you like to talk Mr?" "Ultron, no Mr. makes me sound old, and yes, I would like to talk, perhaps over a cup of tea?" they nodded, and a few minutes later, I'm making tea, after it was done, I poured Shining Armor and his wife a cup, they seemed a little suspicious, but took a sip, their eyes widen then closed as they hummed in content. "This tea is unlike any I have ever had! Where did learn to make this?" Cadence asked as Flurry tried to grab the cup with her magic, only for her magic to grab a rattle with bells in it. "It's actually a herb that a Zebrican shaman gave me, it soothes the throat and removes any exhaustion one may have, along with removing a few minor illness, now, I believe we should get to the matter at hand or hoof in your case." "Yes, so Ultron was It? Why are you here? And are you really the Ultron? As in Ultron the Lord of Death and Destruction?" Cadence asked, fear in her voice. "And the very one who wiped out the Wyverns, Lord of Death and Destruction, not really. More like Hunter of Evil." I said calmly, too calm if I was in their place, "So why are you here?! Are you here to kill more innocents?!" Shining Armor said, anger in his voice while his horn glowed threateningly and a few guards grabbed their weapons. "Nope. And not one of my targets were innocent, many of them had committed murder and other horrible crimes that shall not be mentioned, and need I remind most ponies that the Wyverns were a horrible race that planned on summoning a Demodragon in order to wipe out all life, even each other, so yeah, pretty sure my 'crimes' were actually acts of justice." after I finished talking, they both had thoughtful looks on their faces. "Well, now that you mention it, the Wyverns were pretty terrible. And I have looked into the old police records, those ponies were pretty bad. But did you have to kill them?" Shining asked me, I simply nodded. "Yes, unfortunately in order to allow peace to prosper, you must take a few lives. Which is why I consider myself neither hero nor villain, but an anti-hero." "What is a 'anti-hero?'" Cadence asked me. "We are basically hero's that are often a little villainous, lacking a few hero traits. Beings that are both hero and villain." I simply explained, they just nodded in understanding, we heard Flurry give a cry distress, looking to her, I saw that she was reaching for me. I chuckled, of course, babies and toddlers are always attracted to bright shiny and/or colorful objects. I walked over, and picked her up carefully. She started feeling my face, "Seems like she likes you." Cadence said, giggling a little as the little one stared at reflection of herself on my face. "It is natural for ones so young to be so easily enchanted by bright, shiny and/or colorful objects. Observe." the color of my mouth went from red to disco. Flurry watched as a flurry of colors covered the room, she eventually tried catching them laughing as she chased each color. "This would have been easier to keep her occupied if you were too busy." "Yeah, would have definitely keep her distracted for us to do paperwork." Cadence agreed, watching her daughter chse the lights around. "So Ultron, any reason why you are here?" "Yes, I have come here for one reason." that's when I played dramatic music and changed my light back to red, getting up on the table while a spotlight shined on me, I continued speaking while posing dramaticaly, "Years of countless battles, years of death, all for fate to bring me here for one thing and one thing only. A mission for me to complete. A foe that fate decrees worthy to battle!" the ponies leaned in close to hear what I have to say. "Retirement!" cue record scratch, the ponies looked at me shocked. "What?" they all said at once. "You heard me! Retirement!" I said, putting my hands on my hips as the spotlight and music cut off. "Wha-but, you....THAT'S IT!!!" Cadence screamed. "No villain to defeat?! No pony to save?! No nothing?!?!" "Nope, maybe, and yes! I am simply going to build inventions. No longer will I battle with a villain. No longer will I have to end an entire race. Aaaaannnd..." I began to hover a little into the air, arms spread out and head looking up while shouting to the top of my nonexistent lungs> "NO LONGER WILL I LOSE MY HEARING TO CELESTIAS VOICE!! HAHAHAHAHA!!" that's is when the doors opened. "Cadence, we need to speak-" we all looked to see Celestia, Luna and the Main 6 with the Elements of Harmony. We just stared at each other for what seemed like hours but was only two seconds before the silence was broken by me. "Well sh*t."
