It had been two weeks since Ricky had arrived back in Ponyville; he had made friends with the some of the town’s folk. Like Lyra and Bonbon who he found out were in a relationship, but respected their choices. Vinyl scratch who he sometimes helped set up her performances. And Spike, Twilights assistant who he’d sneak out of the library so he could enjoy some free time. As well as the CMC who he’d show his skills on his skateboard and also try to stop them from seriously injuring themselves.
But he had also hanged out with Applejacks friends; he spent some time with Twilight in the Library, before sneaking out with spike hidden in his hood. He had seen some of Rainbow’s tricks, then showing his skills with the skateboard, and also being told she’s seen him from somewhere. He also measured for Rarity so she could start her new human fashion. He also helped feed and looked after the animals, although had a hand full with Angel. He also helped at Sugar cube Corner and also the baby twins.
He also helped at the Sweet Apple Acres, which Applejack had no objection to, although Big Mac didn’t trust him at first but slowly gained his trust. Although Big Mac and Granny Smith would sometimes make jokes about Ricky and Applejack being in a relationship, which would make them blow up as red as the Apples, although over the few days of spending time with each other, they were both developing their crushes from school again.
Today however, the princesses were visiting Ponyville today and Twilight was going nuts to make sure that everything was ‘perfect’. Ricky although believed that perfect meant everything was good, it was real since he thought that nothing can exist without flaws.
Right now the main six and Ricky were in front of the population who was waiting for the Princess’s to show up, there was talking throughout the crowd until trumpets started playing, everyone then stood still as the Pegasus chariot carrying the Princesses was descending. Once they landed the whole town bowed.
“Rise my little ponies.” Celestia said in her normal calm voice, they all obliged, she then turned to her faithful student and her friends.
“Princess Celestia!” Twilight said as she ran over and hugged her mentor, Celestia replied the hug.
“It is good to see you and your friends again my faithful student.” Celestia said as they broke the hug.
“And also your new human friend.” She said as she walked up to Ricky.
“It is nice to finally meet you.” She said as she winked.
“You to mast- I mean Princess Celestia!” Ricky replied causing a bead of sweat to form on his forehead, the mane six
were confused at this but shook it off.
“Come, let us go.” Celestia said, the group happily followed.
They soon later arrived at Sugar Cube Corner; they talked about recent events and Introducing Ricky to the Princess’s
.
“So do thou only use a skateboard?” Luna asked.
“No, I also snowboard a bit.” He replied, that’s when Dash’s eyes widened in shock and gasped.
“That’s where I know you!” she said, she quickly flew out of her seat and out of the building, they all looked confused at each other before Dash returned with a sports magazine in her mouth, she spat it onto the counter and immediately said.
“Look at page 4!”
Twilight levitated the magazine so everypony and body could see. They read the article that had a mysterious human who only showed some of his face, snowboarding down the Canterlot Mountains, as well as Prince Blueblood who had fallen and was face first in the snow right behind him. The article read-
For the second time, the mysterious human has won the Equestrian Snowboarding race. It is still unknown who he is and there is very little information about him. When he first arrived many were shocked to see him pop out of nowhere. Although before the race happened, Prince Blueblood mocked the Human and told him to give up, since he was going to win, but what is clearly shown hear, proves that he lost completely. But none the less the anonymous human has done it again and many believe he might win this year’s race.
Once the group was done reading, they all turned to Ricky who looked embarrassed.
“Is this you?” Twilight asked.
“Yeah, I guess.” He replied scratching the back of his head.
“Really!?” Pinkie asked looking like she was about to turn into a rocket.
“It’s not really that impressive, I just do what I like.” He said.
“Well then ya good at what ya do.” Applejack complimented
.
(There! He never was an Assassin, but a snowboarder!…Just Kidding, although he is still an Snowboarder, he is also an Assassin. Now it’s time for some tomahawking and shooting.)
Just before anyone could say anything else, an explosion was heard outside, the Princess’s and the group ran outside to see ponies running in terror as a huge number of mercenaries, ponies and humans alike, followed by a carriage carrying a unicorn and a griffon.
The unicorn was light blue with a lighter blue mane, along with a purple hat and cape, the griffon seemed normal enough, but was recognizable by the Main 6.
“Trixie!” Twilight yelled angry.
“Gilda!” Dash shouted furious.
“Humph, you will announce Trixie and her partner Gilda as ‘master’!” Trixie shouted as some mercenaries ran towards them.
“What do we do?” Rarity asked.
Ricky had a determined face on before whispering something to Celestia which heard like ‘Per…on t…ill?’, Celestia nodded as Ricky ran from the group and into an alleyway, he was followed by two mercenaries.
“My little ponies, surrender, trust me on this.” Celestia said, the group was confused but did as was told.
Five minutes later the Mane six and the Princess’s and Trixie and Gilda sat on their new seats in Ponyville with their group of Mercenaries.
“Ha! How does it feel dweebs?” Gilda mockingly asked them.
“Leave us alone Gilda.” Dash said.
“Hmm…Nah. Besides, whose gonna stop us” she asked.
“Oh trust me, Ricky’s more than he looks” Applejack said in his defence, Gilda laughed more.
“Please, that dork couldn’t kill; he’s too weak to even touch our guards.” She said before sitting next to Trixie.
“Master Trixie! Master Gilda!” shouted a mercenary, the two’s heads turned their attention to him.
“Yes?” Trixie asked.
“Well…” he didn’t finish his sentence before two mercenaries walked up behind him carrying two lifeless bodies of the Mercenaries chasing Ricky. Gilda’s and Trixie’s Jaws dropped.
“Who dares kill Trixie’s guards!? Show yourself!?” she screamed, as if on cue, a bang was heard before a mercenary fell down lifeless, the rest started to look out for where ever it came from, one minute later, another bang was heard before another mercenary fell down, it happened again and again and before they knew it, 8 more had been shot down.
“Coward, show us where you are!?” scream Gilda before growling.
It was answered as a rifle was seen in and alleyway, to mercenaries walked carefully to it, before both of them were shot in the head and fell down. Out of the alleyway appeared a human wearing robes and a hood, not enough of his face was shown to tell who it was. The same person who defeat Nightmare Moon, Discord, and Chrysalis.
“So you are the one who has been killing Trixie’s guards?” Trixie asked.
The human did not reply.
“Well, I guess you will need to be eradicated. Attack!” Trixie yelled as the rest of the mercenaries attacked. (Their carrying swords and spears.)
That’s when the human reacted, as the first one tried to attack him from above, he got hit in the waist with a tomahawk. The second one who was an Earth pony, attack in front; he was hit in the head with a throwing knife. The next he was attacked by two unicorns and one human, the human tried to hit him with a spear, he was only able to cause a small cut of his left arm before the two started to fight over the spear. The Assassin then saw the two unicorns charging their horns to fire beams at him, he quickly used the Human mercenary as a human shield, when the first unicorn fired, causing the human shield to be knocked out, the Assassin the ran to the unicorn who had just fired and used him as a shield as the other Unicorn fired, and then the Assassin knocked the last Unicorn out.
He then proceed to kill two humans with his hidden blades and then killed two more mercenaries with throwing knives, the Last guard was shaking his legs as the Assassin walked up to him, and quietly said.
“Boo.” The mercenary ran crying for his mother.
He then turned his attention to the two remaining threats.
“Alright, I’ll give you some credit you dork. But listen to me, your nothing, you just won because the Guards were weak, but against me, you suck, why I bet your parents would be disappointed in you, and that-“Gilda the Griffon, Bully, annoying and just thinking cool is the way of life, was silenced as a throwing knife entered her throat.
“Don’t you f***ing talk about my parents.” The Assassin said, as the griffon fell.
The Assassin was then hit it the leg with an arrow, he screamed in pain, as he looked up he saw Trixie with an evil smirk as started beating him, he couldn’t do anything because she held him with her magic. She beat him until he had bruises, cracked ribs and blood dripping from him.
“Ha! Pathetic.” Trixie said.
The group In Cages had kept silent because there was nothing to say at the Humans efforts, they then grew tears as Trixie beat him to a pulp.
“Now before this is over, let’s see who you are.” She said before levitating him in front of the cages, his hood was pulled off, they entire group gasped.
They had heard and seen Ricky do many things, he played guitar, he uses and Skateboard and snowboard, he helps the CMC from time to time, and he also mysteriously is sleeping in during the morning.
But they’d never picture this, Ricky, who had bruises, blood and seat all over him, wearing the robes of the Assassin that had helped them save Equestria.
He’d never pictured it ether.
