//------------------------------// // Hindsight and gaming // Story: Why me? // by Ice //------------------------------// Since I got a lot of feedback compared to my first story I'm decided to update this three times a week Monday, Wednesday and I'll you guys decide the third day not Tuesday or Sunday though. The door to the throne room burst open as four guards entered the room ready to take on anypony or anything. However what the guards weren't expecting was a primate looking creature twice their height, while the foe might have seemed bigger, the royal guard are trained soldiers. "BAD MOVE ROOKIE!" shouted Ice as he clenched his hand into a fist then swung at the guard with a backhand sending him spiraling across the floor,for about five seconds, Ice looked smugly at the other three guards but then the short-term adrenaline rush faded. "AAAAHHHH MY HAND!!" he grabbed his hand and started blowing on it. "Note to self hit them, not their helmets," as he looked up he saw the three guards descend upon him "Buck," The first guard jumped in the air hoping to knock out the creature only to be knocked off course by a rising block, however his comrade, must have thought of this, spun round on hind legs facing towards the creature and then, using the momentum from the rotation, kicked the creature in the chest making a very nice cracking sound. Said guard was knocked to the ground when the creature began to flail managing a lucky (or unlucky for the guard to score a lucky hit groin. The creature the curled up into a fetal position muttering several unintelligible words which then turned into him shouting various insults to nobody in particular as he felt himself drifting off into a unconscious state. He later awoke to find himself in some sort of cage,the bars were slightly rusted and it he had to sit so he didn't hit his head off the top of it. Apon furter investigation of the room he finds himself surrounded by guards and he Celestia on a sort of podium staring at him "Court is in session" "Release the prisoner" she shouted "Huh?" thought Ice but then he ralized what was going on after some shackles appeared round his wrists and feet."You are accused of three charges of assualt,one charge of resisting arrest and one charge of illegal use of inter-dimensional travel,how do you plead?" Ice put on his court face it was mixture of seriousness and experience "Not guilty,your honor." "We have seven witnesses including myself of you attacking four royal guards while sending two of the to an early retirement and you plead not guilty, explain yourself" Ice chuckled slightly at thought of sending to guys to retirment but kept his court face "Firstly I would the three charges of assault removed from the court record I was simply defending myself from the guards when they decided to attack instead of asking me to come with them" he looked happy with what he had said. "OBJECTION" Ice looked across the room to see Twilight with her hoof pointing towards Ice "You have got to be kidding me" he thought "According to royal protocall 863 "A guard may attack an accused if they find it wise" these guards were simply following their better judgement as we saw with the humans violent nat-" "OBJECTION" roared Ice back. "Like I said, it was self defense I don't know the laws here but I am pretty sure defending yourself from an attacker is well within anybody's or ponies rights. "He has a point Miss Sparkle" Celestia pointed out obviously she didn't want anypony to know she was friend with her. "The court removes the three charges of assault" Ice chuckled softly knowing he stood a good chance of getting out of there untouched. "However the charges of resisting the law and illegal use of.." "OBJECTION" everypony started at Ice surprised by how loud he could shout. "I accept the charge of resistance of the law but I don't know how I got here or why I'm here plus if I could travel between the dimensions wouldn't have I escaped already?" "Charge removed" Celestia obviously thought she could have pulled that one off but her own laws required her to remove it. "The final charge I accept and I will take punishment that is deemed appropriate" Ice chuckled all the hours playing Phoenix Wright had finally payed off. "You must understand Mister..." "Kilmurray" "I'm sorry KILLmurray?" "No no Kilmurray as in one l not two before you start thinking that,sure it's pronounced like that but still." "Hmmm I sentence you to-" "OBJECTION" everpony looked at Ice but he raised his hands in innocence and look at Twilight." "Your honor I request that his sentence should be community service in ponyville so I can study him and mabye the quite will remove his violent side." "I agree Mr.Kilmurray or Ic-.." "Brice" "I'm sorry?" "My name is caused this trouble so I'm telling you it Brice see three fifths." "May I continue?" "eeyup" he responded doing his best Big Mac impression Applejack just stared at him thinking "Not another one" "Mr.Kilmurray you shall spend two years in ponyvile helping everypony you see while Miss.Sparkle shall study you and you will inform her about your world,do we have an understanding?" "Yes your honor thank you" he was feeling pretty smug right about now. An hour later of sorting out paper work and such the group set off just to be stopped by a guard thrusting a rucksack into Brices arms and flying off."HEY COME BACK WHAT'S IN THIS?" "It's yours silly" came Pinkies voice, Ice investigated the bag it had a little lock the bag it had a number lock on the front "It can't be" he thought,he turned the dials till they were at 1998 them it came undone.Ice put the lock back on changed the put the code as 9723 and walked "You aren't going to see what's in there?" asked Twilight glancing at the bag. "Nope, already know," and with that he walked towards the carriage. As the carriage took off Twilight began to harass Brice about things about his world as he sat staring out of the window trying to ignore her, it was roughly another five minutes before he broke and agreed to talk. "Okay, what do you want to know?" he groaned. "Where exactly do you come from?" she asked grabbing a scroll and quill. "Told you earth." he said raising an eyebrow "No, I mean where specifically." "Ah,I see what you mean Scotland it's one of the smaller places granted but still it's nice if you don't mind the weather." "Which is...?" "Rain." "What else?" "Tiny bit of sunshine now and then but that about covers it oh and a lot of snow" "Really but how does your planet survive?" "I do physics not biology so I not entirely sure,but what I do know is that our planet is the perfect distance from the sun so we get just enough heat ,not to much mind, to survive" "So who raises your sun and moon" Brice had been waiting for this question he had thought of millions of things to say but he decided to go with the truth. "Nobody," all around the carriage the ponies exchanged a confused look. "Um, that's not possible, for that happen your planet would have to naturally revolve around the sun while the moon revolved around the planet, and that's just not possible." she said sharply. "Yeah, that's pretty much it." It was Rainbow dash who spoke this time "BUT HOW?" "I'm not a science teacher I'm not explaining all of this." "Oh yes you will, the princess said you had to," responded Twilight. "True enough, but I have two years to do this and trust me I ain't explaining this until I'm comfortable around all of you." The group sat silently until Brice noticed his bag was moving was enveloped in a purple aura,he went to grab it only to have zoom across to Twilight. "GIVE THAT BACK!" "Why would I do that?" asked Twilight Brice really wanted to threaten Twilight but that would just prove her point that he was violent. "It's personal." "See I want to believe you but it's my job to make sure of these things." she said smugly. Brice thought for a moment then looked surprisingly happy "Alright but on one condition." "Which is?" "You have to use the combination code to get in." Twilight's face betrayed her thoughts "How could he put somepony who has been ordered to investigate him put her into a corner like this, did he not realise the implications of failing to comply?" "Fine, she said, muttering away trying to figure out the combination. "Okay oh and by the way if you fail three times it locks itself for 24 hours" "Best investment ever," he thought. "Oh,before you do." he quickly took the bag of Twilight while grabbing something out of it then closing it again. "Go ahead." The rest of the trip was filled with Twilight's angry rants about how he shou;d tell her the code and her really really scary one about failing a test but he wasn't listening he had his Ipod out and was listening to Disturbed. ------------------------------ At the castle: A lone pony entered the throne room he was a pegasus with a blue main and tail,a brown coat and his cutie mark was a wavy blue arrow.He bowed "You called princess?" "Yes,sergeant I want you to go to Ponyville and watch the human Brice and study him," "Princess I understand but isn't Twilight Sparkle already doing this?" "Yes but you are to watch him for I fear he may attack us and his power is coming back to him" "Wait he took down three royal guards with ease and he isn't at full strength?" "Ye,s now you are dismissed, you have three hours to prepare yourself." The pony left throne room "Hey Zephyr what she want?" asked one of the guards "Nothing." ---------------------------------------------- Okay I wanna clear some stuff up here 1) I do not need a pre-reader now that I have two 2) I would like to add ONE more OC to this story so if you want in message me 3)PLEASE read my other story.Okay thanks for reading
