//------------------------------// // Chapter 2: Welcome to Ponyville // Story: Infinite Undifscovered Friendship // by khandmlpfan //------------------------------// "Welcome ta ponyville!" Applejack said with a smile, not noticing Capell's wide mouth and his surprise filled eyes as he stared at the many houses and the ponies walking around with their coat, mane, and tail color of every hue of the colors that were in existence. He only responded to her whens he bucked him in the shin, which with the armor he had on felt more like a small child hitting you as hard as it could. Slowly he came out of his frozen in surprise stasis and looked at a now mad Applejack. "Did yah 'ear a word ah just said!?" Capell laughed a bit and smiled nervously. "I-I'm sorry, but could you repeat what you said?" "Ah said we betta get ya some help if yahr thinkin' of staying 'ere 'n ponyville." "Well where should we go to first then?" Capell rubbed his head a bit as he sat there, looking down at the town, not too sure where to start since he knew nothing of this world. Applejack went to talk, but a sudden scream caught her attention and she looked down towards ponyville at a rather 'fancy' building that stood out form the others that had a busted down door. "Woah nelly! Ah'm comin' rarity!" She ran off, but Capell was close behind her, rushing at the same speed as her towards the boutique that belonged to the pony applejack called out. Capell ran in first, only noting two things, one there was a white unicorn in the corner with a purple mane curled up around a smaller filly, and two, there were three demonic dog like creatures in-between him and the two in danger. The largest of the three snorted and seemed to growl as it talked in a low, cracking voice. "Now look *snort* we just want where you keep the gemsss. Then we will be on our way~" Rarity, well at least he guessed the mare was rarity looked up with a hateful glare. "I will never tell you!" The second biggest only laughed like the other talked before speaking in a lower, but still cracking every now and then voice. "Then we will *grunts* tear this place apart until we find it little miss pony!" Capell glared at the three muts and said in his authoritative voice, the one he uses after the incident with Leif and Faina. "Leave them alone!" The smallest one a chihuahua looking dog thing, said in a squeaky, rough voice said, "Or what yah good fur nothing animal." He glares at them, anger boiling in me as he draw my blade and said loudly in the same voice, "Eternal refrain!" An instant later he is dashing so fast it looks like he is teleporting every time he appears in another space and slash at them, going about ten slashes before hitting them and sending them flying out the door. He then hear somepony talking behind me. "Oh, my! That was fantastic! Oh and your armor looks simply marvelous! Tell me what area of Equis do you hail from?" He turns around and see the purple maned mare which looked rather fantastic for a pony, but could not compete to Aya. He scratches his head though and looks away, before giving her a shrug to her question. He then starts to speak in his usual soft voice rather than the pissed off one. "I am just a traveling flute player, no one special. Are you and the filly alright?" "We are perfectly fine now that you have saved us form those ruffians. Oh, where are my manners? My name is Rarity~, and this little filly here is my little sister Sweetie Belle." She edges sweetie belle closer to Capell who knelt down and smiles to her. "Hello there you two, my name is Capell." He bows his head and looks up, smiling. "I am just glad i was able to send those guys out the door for you two." He then holds out his armored hand for them to shake. Rarity shakes his hand with her hoof and then she nudges sweetie belle. "Sweetie belle don't be so rude to our savior." Sweetie then nervously shakes his hand and smiles. "Um, t-thank you for saving our hides back there." "No problem." He lets go and slowly stands up, looking at the two of them. "You two remind me of some people i lost... very much like them. Heheh well i better be going now. I hope that nothing troubles you." As he turns to leave Rarity spoke up, "Wait! We need to compensate you for what you did." Before capell could argue he felt her drop a leather bag in his hands. "There you go, a hundred bits. Now don't go spending it all in one place." Rarity would giggle a bit as she stood there, waving to capell. He would look at her and smiles. "Thank you, and have a nice day." He pockets them and then bows before standing up straight and leaving the building, only to feel something hit him HARD. He was sent flying, bouncing a few times on the ground before he stood up and looked at what had hit him. Standing, or rather flying there was a cyan colored pegasus pony with a rainbow mane and tail who was rubbing her head a bit with it's hooves. It spoke, in a tomboyish voice which confirmed to Capell it was most likely a she. "Ow, that hurt, but that wont stop me, Rainbow dash! You assaulted one of my friends and I will not forgive you, and I hope you are ready. Because I am going to beat you and destroy you with a sonic rainboom."
