The Quiet Kid

by aegishailstorm


Of my own accord: part 2

William came out of the treeline on the mountain which he had selected earlier. He found the bowie knife which he had stuck into the ground still where he had left it, he picked it up, and stuffed it into one of his vest pockets. He sat down on a tree stump and looked out on the town of Ponyville below him to ensure that there where no stray ponies still wandering about. He Manifested up his trusty m200, and shifted his gaze to the edge of the Everfree forest. The sun was getting low in the sky.

"I sure hope I don't have to to do this in the nighttime." Fortunately for him, the opposing side felt the same way, at least partially.

Meanwhile, back above the Everfree forest...


"Ma'am, Its beginning to get dark, should we perhaps wait until morning?" One of the griffon generals asked Chrysalis.

"Very well. Drone! Scout ahead and see if you can find this human in advance!" 4 of the changelings gave her a firm solute, and flew off toward Ponyville. Just as the sun set over Equestria.

William was now siting alone, in the forest, in complete darkness the quiet was beginning to get to him. He summoned up a pair on thermal goggles, and scanned the treeline out of pronoia, confirming that he was indeed alone in the dark. He looked back on the Everfree forest.

"Nope, still nothing, I'm tired." He yawned, and collapsed right there on the stump. All the while the 4 changelings continued their approach toward town.

Several hours later...

William awoke from his unintentional nap, rubbed his eyes, and took a look through his rifles scope to find a group of 4 changelings, trotting towards town.

"They wouldn't have sent their whole army in in one go, That's most likely a scouting party, oh well, its all the same to me.
He took aim down the scope, adjusting it slowly so as to hit them all the first time around. And picked them off one by one. They didn't even have time to react. He looked off in the distance and spotted the main force.


"Oh #### there must be thousands of them... Thank goodness I have the power of infinite ammunition on my side!"

He steadied his rifle, swapped out his light weight fatigues for a set of riot gear, He pulled own the visor of his helmet. And took aim at the lead cluster.

"Ma'am, We have Ponyville in our sights, shall we begin?"

"Yes."
A group of changelings and dragons broke of from the main force and flew toward Ponyville. And al the while William was watching this. He reached into his pocket, pulled out the target designator, and painted the group in infrared laser light.

"Hasta la vista baby." The designator flashed green, and he pressed down on the detonator. Dozens of missiles flew into the sky, decimating the advance formation of their army. All the while Chrysalis, the dragon king, and the griffon generals watched on with looks of confusion and horror on their faces.

"What just happened?" asked the dragon king asked.

"Well, It seems as thought that human is trying to put up a fight."


"He won't win, Griffons, flank the town, don't let anything escape!" Shouted one of the griffon generals. Serval hundred griffons charged forward, flying over the town, most where shot down by the NASAMS emplacements that William had Created earlier. However, The Emplacements soon ran dry, and the remaining griffins and dragon began to encircle the town.


"Awww, how quaint, they're trying to outflank me, they don't even know that I'm not down there at all. Oh well, more cannon fodder for me!" He manifested up an M134 minigun turret, took aim, and fired. Painting the entire shallow valley in a shower of tungsten rounds, and cutting through the griffon forces like a flamethrower through tissue paper. Dozens feel from the sky, reduced to bloodied husks.

"They're getting cut to pieces down there!" Yelled one of the Generals, beginning to panic.

"You said that this would be easy!" Yelled another.

"I'm sick of this puny monkey! I'll end him right here!" The dragon king and all of the remaining dragons began to tear the town apart. William swapped his M134 out for an stinger missile, Took aim at the first dragon, and fired. Tearing it head apart. He reloaded, and fired again, and again, and again, until the only the Dragon king remained. He turned his scared face to look up at the mountain where William was hiding, and flew directly at him. William swapped out his Stinger for an M82 Barret loaded with armor pricing rounds.

"Hold on for a moment, I've never fired one of these before. Well consequences be damned, I sure hope my shoulders intact after this!" He set the rifle on its bipod, took aim at the dragons left eye, and pulled the trigger.

"GAHAHHAHAHA!!!!" The King let out a massive roar of pain that shook the entire valley, that didn't stop him fully however, he let out a blast of flame, and William dived for cover behind a nearby boulder, the blast of flame just barely missing him.

"I'll get you for that human!" He landed and began to tear the overhang apart. He grabbed the boulder William was hiding behind, and tossed it out of the way. Only William waiting right there, Barret aimed up at the Dragon Kings face.

"Dodge this you stupid ####!"He pulled the trigger, and two .50 caliber rounds tore through the kings forward jaw causing him to stumble off the edge of the cliff, he just barely caught himself by one of his claws. William, got up, wincing in pain from the Barret's recoil, and walked over to where the dragon king was dangling at the edge of the cliff.
hasta la vista baby
"Open wide!" He manifested a pair of M67 frag grenades, pulled both their pins, and tossed them into the kings bleeding mouth. He dove for cover, and a blast rocked the entire mountainside as the explosion from the grenades ignited dragons breath, and tore him open. that last thing that William heard was a scream of pure anguish. Followed by the loud THUNK! of his body hitting the ground serval hundred feet below. William looked down at his leg, and let out a sigh of relief to see that it was still there. He shook his fist in a silent "Success!" He got back up, to see the remainder of the changelings heading for the town. He loaded up an MK19 grenade launcher with air burst rounds, and began to finish off the rest of the swarm. As his weapon clicked on empty, and he summoned up another box of 40mm rounds he realized something.
He had just wiped out an army of thousands of sentient beings, and he couldn't care less.

"Ehh, that's for the royal sisters to decide. Now, where's Chy-" A bolt of magic hit him in the back, causing him to stagger in pain. He turned to se the angry face of Chrysalis staring him down, horn lit.


"Why hello there ma'am, enjoying yourself?"

"GRRRHHH. You'll pay for that you useless monkey!"

"You know, you were always one of my favorites, I happen to have a special fondness for you, and your work, obviously I couldn't care less about your subjects, you on the other hand..." He walked over to her. And to her surprise, gave her a pat on the head.

"What are you doing?!" She recoiled slightly. He lifted his visor, and gave her a malicious grin. "Well, I'm glad to finally get to meet you in person." He smacked her over her horn with the butt of the bowie knife he had pocketed earlier. "That was for making my life hell." He gave her a scratch behind the ears. "I'm going to let you go now, don't try anything, otherwise you'll end up just like him. "He pointed at the destroyed section of the cliff face where the dragon king had fallen. She thought about it for a moment, and reluctantly agreed. William let go of her mane, and she took off back towards the remains of her army. "Next time you want to talk with me, could you please arrange it in advance so you don't end up destroying an entire town in the process?" She looked back at him skeptically .

"What was I thinking? This human's bucking insane!" She shook her head, and flew off back towards the swarm of retreating Griffons, Changelings, and dragons, Now much smaller than it had originally been. He rubbed his eyes, It was about mid day by now, and he was about ready for some lunch. He switched out of his battle armor, still watching the retreating swarm for any stragglers. He began the long hike back down the low mountain and into Ponyville.

One short, painful hike later...

William arrived in town, to find it in ruins, Parts of the outer town lie in ruins from the dragons, and very rooftop in sight was potmarked with bullet holes, and the streets covered with the corpses of dead dragons, and melted changelings.

"It's ok Everypony. You can come out now!" The towns residents slowly began to emerge from their houses to find the carnage that lay in the streets. Some began to cry, others looked at William with looks comprised of confusion and anger, some just fainted, dropping onto the cobblestones with dramatic, or just moronic sighs of, 'not mentally available.'

"William, what is this?" He turned to see the main six, examining the destruction around them.

"They came at me, I came at them. Simple as that, Now if you excuse me, I'm hungry." William took 2 more steps forward, and collapsed in the middle of the town square with his signature look of disapproval adorning his face.


"What do we do now?" Asked Rainbow Dash, kicking the Quiet Kid's shoulder with her right hoof.


"Contact Princess Celestia, she'll know what to do with him." Twilight replied.
