//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 – Rescuing Celestia and Luna. The Prophecy Begins. Part 1 // Story: The Legend of Sunflare Knight // by SunFlare Knight //------------------------------// Hunter POV I've been running to find this entrance ever since Celestia and Luna have been captured by these weird dog creatures, I know that it might be risky even though I don’t know what they have for weapons, but I can’t just let them take my friends and get them away for it. I mean like capture princesses, so they get money, to them they think its easy, but to me, I call that a dumb move, and not only that, but they plan to hurt them as well, not on my watch. I do remember hearing them say they will be at the entrance near the market area. If I recall, I did see an entrance door like when I woke from this place. So maybe they could be there, I just hope my hunches are correct and I hope the girls are alright. As I got to the market, I could see some ponies who are worried when they saw some of those dog creatures went by. However there stands got wreck, probably those dogs decided to take something for the road. I decided to help and make sure no one is hurt. “Is everypony alright?” I said to the pony citizens, they all heard me, and Their eyes widened when they saw me. “You’re that Human we saw during the queen and the princess’s investigation, what was your name again?” one of the ponies said to me. “Hunter. The name is Hunter Knight sir. But that’s not important right now, I just want to make sure everypony is alright.” I said to the pony. “Oh, we are doing okay sir, and so is my shop. but thank you for your concern, I just don’t know why these diamond dogs came here for.” The pony said. Diamond dogs?! So that’s what they are. I wonder why. I was about to ask the pony citizen when I heard a scream coming from one of the ponies that have an apple logo sign above there stand, but what I also saw was one of those diamond dogs trying to rob the stand. “Give me your apples pony, or else.” The diamond dog said to the mare with an appleseed on here flank. “No, I am not going to let you take my apples.” The mare said to the diamond dog. The diamond dog was getting angry and decided to grab the mare by the neck. “I can do whatever I want, when I want. Give me your apples or I will cut your throat out.” The dog said as he grabs his knife and point it up on her neck. I look at the ground and found a big rock and throw it at his head. The dog drops the mare and his knife and grunted. “Who threw that?” The dog said. “I did” I said to the diamond dog, Then he look at my direction. “Who are you and what type of creature are you? You look like a hairless monkey.” The diamond dog said to me. “That's not important right now. what's important is you hurting that mare and I do not like bullies who hurt beautiful mares.” The mare blush from what I said. The diamond dog got angry and growl. “You want to protect this mare; you want to play hero; you got your wish freak.” The diamond dog said as he starts running towards me, getting ready for a fight. The ponies and the mare I was protecting, were worried for my safety. With that, the diamond dog made the first strike, throwing his fist out in a punch for my face, only to be blocked, the same with the following punch, before I seized the chance to land a strong front kick to the chest, then a flying kick to the side of his head. Disoriented, and taken by surprise, the diamond dog stumbled, before he pulled himself together and runs after me, jumping up in a flurry kick, only for me to dodge the attack, countering it with a high kick, knocking the Dog out of the air. Furious, and humiliated, the Mutt picked up a knife lying on the ground, and swung it at me, only for I to block the weapon, then dodged it when he swung it again. Catching his hands, I twisted the Diamond dog arms, before I succeeded in disarming his weapon. In a desperate attempt to escape, the dog tried to kick me, but I managed to block it and did a round house kick to the stomach, falling on his back, before flipping themselves back up. The Dog charged after me, throwing out a flurry of kicks and punches, But I skillfully dodging and blocking all his attacks, while backing up against a stand. The dog throws a kick at me, only to strike his foot through the bottom wall of the stand. I quickly moved to the side. Thinking fast, I found a sling shot and the rock I threw, I grab them both pull the string and the rock far back, when the dog got his foot out of the stand I released my hold, causing the rock to fly forward, striking the dog in the face. The dog wobbles a bit until he landed face first on a wooded wheelbarrow full of manure, striking him unconscious. The Ponies and the mare I saved were shocked an amaze with my skills, it took them a few seconds before they start to cheer. After the cheering died down, I went to check the mare and make sure she was alright. “Miss?” I asked in a calmer, gentle tone as I helped her up. “Are ya alright?” “Yeah, I’m fine,” she replied. “Thanks to you.” I smiled knowing that she and everypony is safe. “Good, I am glad that you are alright, but right now I need your help can you tell me where the entrance is, I need to save my friends Celestia and Luna from those Diamond dogs.” As I say that to the mare, Everypony Gasps when they heard me. “Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are captured.” One of the random ponies said. “Yes, that’s why I need to rescue them. They are my friends; do you know where the entrance is? They say that’s where they’re going to be.” I asked anypony, hopefully they know where it is. “I do.” The mare that I saved said. “It’s down that way, just keep going straight and you should see the entrance.” The mare said pointing the direction with her hoof. “Thanks.” I said to the mare. “You’re welcome and thank you again for saving me and my stand. My name is Appleseed.” Appleseed said. I smile at her. “it’s lovely to meet you, my name is Hunter, and you’re welcome.” I said to the mare. I think I just made another new friend. after the whole fight the diamond dog and saving a mare who I just made another new friend scene, I continue my way to the entrance and rescue Celestia and Luna, hopefully they are ok. Celestia POV Captured. That’s all I could say, we were captured by diamond dogs, and they brought us next to the entrance near the market. My sister and I were in the same bag together, I hug my sister for comfort because she was scared, I am scared too but my mother and father told me to be brave for me and Lulu. We sat here waiting for our parents to arrive with some guards incase things get messy; at lease I hope we won’t come to that. I can hear the Diamond dogs getting frustrated. “Where is Skull, he should be here by now.” One of the diamond dogs said. “Patience Grunt, he said he went to go grab a snack.” The other replied. “But it doesn't take 30 minutes to grab a snack, I hope that Idiot didn’t get captured.” I could just hear the diamond dogs getting annoyed, I wish we could escape but, there wasn’t much I could do, other than holding my sister for comfort. the dogs were getting angry. “Ok that’s it, they are taking too long, if were not going to get our gems.” The diamond dog said as he grabs me and Luna out of the bag. “Then they are not going to have their precious Princess’s back.” He said with a smirk while the others laugh, I was now scared. “No please, you don’t have to do this.” I replied with mercy, unfortunately for my sister she is trembling with fear. “Oh, but I want to, You guys have been stealing our gems for the past weeks and we are sick and tired of you Ponies to take what was ours in the first place.” He said as he grabs his knife and puts it near my neck. “This is it, any last words princess?” I have no words for how scared I am. I close my eyes getting ready for final blow, when all of a sudden, a rock came out of nowhere and hit the diamond dogs’ knife off his paws. “AHH” The diamond grunted and drop me. After that, another rock hit the other diamond dog that held my sister in there. I quickly grab my sister and hide behind some barrels to get away from them. When we got to a safe distance, me and Luna look who was our savior. And to our surprise, it was none other than our Human Friend. “Hunter?!” Me and my sister said at the same time.
