Chapter Eight: Meet the Royalty!
Canterlot. It was vibrant, complicated, and full of the elite. And by elite, well, you know what I mean. Prancing down the main road without a care in the world, flashing my jaws and claws at the more so peculiar stares I was getting, before I noticed another recognizable face, a white unicorn DJ who I think you are all familiar with by now. Yup, the stage pony named DJ PON-3
She took notice of me and I could see that she wanted to run, but her mind told her that it was wrong. You see, these are the creatures that I enjoy the company of. Sympathetic, slow to judge. I approached her as calmly as possible, finally recognizing her as one of the citizens of Ponyville, the DJ as already stated. I got closer as her gaze scrutinized me further, until she lit up like a light bulb and began walking towards me with a tad of joyous respect.
"Hey there! I saw you at the night club in Ponyville, where'd you learn that song? It was paralyzing in it's truth." I nearly spat the metaphorical swig I wasn't taking as I heard these words. "Huh, so you got the point. I learned that song back where I came from. It was made by the brilliant Gary Jules. That's really all I can say right now as I have some unscheduled yet very important business to attend to." And with that I was back on my way to Canterlot Castle.
I arrived at the glorious doors, and was now surrounded by the Celestial guard. Wee! Time for some fun. I jumped atop one of the near spires, slid down and went around a corner for them to find me. "Bound the spires, make them mad; around the corner, YOU'VE BEEN HAD!" I said as I pounced the first guard and delivered a punch to take away his consciousness. We wouldn't want to piss off Celestia too badly, now would we? A barrage of Pegasi guards armed with speared dove at me. "Too easy." I gloated as I bound into the air and connected my boots to their backs and gave a light push with the pistons to send them barreling into the ground. This was only 3 of 5. The lasting guards were unicorns, who decided to light me up like a candle. I began rolling on the ground in pain before getting up and rushing at the unicorns; still on fire. This lit their coats on fire a small bit before my nanotrites, as I've come to call them, smothered the fires and repaired the charred flesh as soon as they could. Now that all of the guards were on the ground, I decided to take a rather oblong entrance rather than be assaulted by more guards.
I bound up the castle until I found the window to the throne room. I slowly creaked open the window before bounding into the room, just before the entrance. "What is the meaning of this?" Shouted Celestia. "Who me? Couldn't be. But it is. I say, turning to face them. "Greetings princess. I am Diov, a human torn from my own world and thrown here by something completely mad from what I can gather. I came here to seek an audience with you to suggest action. For as long as I've been around, which is admittedly a few days, I've caused quite some unprovoked hell." She stared at me quizzically before speaking up. "I can sense the chaotic energy flowing off of you. Do you come in hopes of assault, or peace?" I paused and returned with a blank stare. "Oh, great. The royalty is racist too. How cute. I guess I should find someone also to help me then, hmm?" I begin to take my leave before being interrupted. "Wait! We may have a job for you. You seem rather unique and we are far from racist. Now then. Discord!" Celestia shouted before the draconequus in question entered the room. "Yes Tia?" He asked as he took no note of me. "I need you to help out this being with some equipment. We may have a job for him and I fear side effects from his, um, limbs. For they contain chaos magic it seems." Discord paused for a second before beaming. "Why of course, I think I have just the right stuff. Come along." He said while dragging me out of the room by my arm.
"So, where are we going?" I asked as we maneuvered through the hedge maze. "Oh nowhere. Just to the center where no one can see what is happening. This is to be a surprise you see. We continued to travel for what seemed like hours before we finally reached the center. Strewn about I saw masses of dark iron scrap metal and and some tools resting upon a table. "What the hell is all this?" I ask. "Oh, just equipment for the upgrades oh you." He replied. I sat down on a nearby bench and with a click, all of my parts were removed. Leaving my stubs hanging, and my tongue lolling out of my mouth. "Well, this is uncomfortable." I say, Discord obviously either not hearing or not giving a shit about my comment. After countless hours of being bored out of my mind and falling off of the bench frequently, the upgrades are done.
After re-equipping my limbs, I notice they don't feel different at all. "What's the big idea? Letting me sit there like a vegetable for hours just for nothing!" I begin to fume. "They don't feel different because the objects that I added sit within the void. It's kind of like a controlled black hole. Notice the new plates on your arms and legs, as well as the triangular pattern on everything. Also notice that your tanks are glowing a little brighter." Discord explains. "So what does this all do?" Discord walks over to a blackboard with many different pictures. "The plates contain voids which hold extremely light, extremely flexible metal that connects to form a wing-suit. The triangular pattern allows for you to morph your limbs. The nanotrites have also been upgraded to heal you faster. Although nerve damages are still out of the question." He explains all the while pointing to the various pictures. "Cool. So how does that morphing thing work." I tense up my right arm and the claws shift into blunt fingers. "Well that explains that." I also relax my upper arms which releases the wings which connect to each other immediately. "And that too. So, I'm guessing I should head back, should I not?" Discord nods and I begin to make my way back to the castle.
As I arrive, I am handed a ticket by Celestia. "That will get you a first class train to Ponyville." I stare at the ticked before tearing it in half and dropping it into a nearby waste bin. "I think I'll be flying home." I say as I deploy and retract my new wings. "Very well, shall I have my guards see you out?" Celestia asks. "Nope, the window will be fine. And thanks for the upgrade." I say, climbing to the window and launching myself up before beginning my glide to Ponyville. The Canterlot Castle was high enough that I would reach town without a hitch.
-*Rainbow Dash*-
I was lounging upon a cloud early this morning when I saw what looked like a giant flying squirrel careening towards my cloud. It hit the cloud and knocked me off but the thing that ticked me off the most was that it was laughing. "Jerk!" I shouted at it. 'I'll have to get back at that thing later.' I thought to myself.
-*Diov*-
I landed carefully at the door of the farmhouse, entering and heading to my room. "Soon, I shall release you from their grasp."
Soon
