Nurse Redheart left me to go find clean wrapping to cover the freshly opened wounds I have on my back and chest. They were pretty big compared to what I have had before. From the looks of one cut it was by a two handed long sword. 'How am I still here? A weapon like that should have killed me! Unless Celestia tried to some what heal me after the fight, but other than that my only other answer is somepony dosen't want me dead.' A cold breeze hit my bare fur making me shiver. "Redheart ya ok?" All that came to my ears was silence. "Redheart?" I grabbed the closest thing to a weapon and it just so happend to be a scalple. "Redheart if ya are bucking with me your doing a good job." The royal guard voice I never use came into play, deep and scary as hell.
I poked my head into the white hallway lit only by candles. The shadows danced around the small walkway with doors on both sides of it. One door at the end was wide open letting a brighter light out. I kept my silence listening for anything. The closer I got to the door I could see a light pink tail sticking in the door way. "Redheart is there something wrong?" I placed my hand on her shoulder still not in the room yet. "Redheart....." My heart dropped when I saw the dead luner guard on the metal table. "Redheart are you ok?" The look in her eyes were only making me angry. I grabbed her up like we were just married and took her to the waiting room. "Redheart stay here if you see anything move just scream. Do you understand me?" All she gave was a slow wide eyed nod. "I'll be back."
The candles in the long hallway was only messing with me. "Damn it. Why not get some moon light in here." I struggled to get my broken wings open. When they were open more feathers fell to the floor. A sigh escaped my lips at the sight of the pale feathers floating to the marble floor. "One good flap should do it." I gave a weak flap from my wings letting out a whimper of pain while folding them back up. The only light was coming from the room and the moon.
The room was just like the room I was first in. White walls, metal table, and a sink with gray cabnets. The lifless guard on the table was stomach twisting. Blood was running down the gray arm that was hung over the side on to the white floor. The earth stallion was on his back with the cursed blade sticking out of his purple chest plate. There was a note tied to the handle of the blade reading.
'I hope you are reading this Banjo.
You killed many of my soldiers I
only took one of yours. For every
day you wait, one more of your
brothers die. Time is ticking Moon.
Your Queen, Chrysalis.'
"BUCK!" I crumpled the paper and threw it at the body. "Chrysalis you only gave me more of a reason to end your pittiful life you whore!" In my anger I punched a hole into the white wall only to make my fist bleed.
"Banjo are you ok?" Redheart was behind me and I did not want to show her my tear filled eyes.
"I'm fine... Thanks." Sadness replaced the royal guard tone very quickly.
"Your a really bad lier did you know that?" I walked over to the body of a brother I never knew, I didn't even hear Redheart. Below his cutie mark of a singal sword was a bald patch. In magic NLR was marked in purple on his right arm. Just so happens that on my left arm was the same thing.
'I may have not known you, but you are a brother.. For the New Luner Republic.' I closed his brown eyes so he could rest forever in peace. "Redheart I must go. Don't worry about my wounds eather. I have one more friend close by."
"Banjo your in no condition to go any where!" The worried filled blue eyes only made it harder to leave. "Banjo, I care for you."
"I know, and i'm sorry but I need to go." She wrapped me in a tight hug not wanting to let go. "Redheart more ponys will die due to me. I can not let any more die over a dead myth." Hugging her back I for a short time I released only to have her still hugging while crying. "Redheart, please don't make this any harder than it is." Her tears where warm on my bare fur. I leanded close to her face looking right into her eyes, holding her soft white tear soked cheeks. "Redheart I am not going to lie, I don't think i'll be coming back from this. If I do, I don't know but i'm done with the guard. But thats just if I do tho, theres not even a promise that i'll leave the hive in one peice. I need to go save Luna but don't dwell on me, move on and find somepony you know will be there for you." I removed my hands from the crying mare. Her light pink mane and tail where beautiful, but I was not bread for love, only pain, war and moonshinning.
I walked through the dark hallway still able to hear her crying but this was my last mission I had to do. I don't back out on a promise even though it was to Celestia I am a pony of his word. I grabbed my armor from the waiting room and walked out into the light breeze of the night. I closed my pain filled eyes and took a deep breath. "Tonight is a good night to die. But tomarrow hell will come with high waters." I started my long walk back to the sex hungry zebra.
------
Everfree forest, outside of a small hut. Little past mid-night.
"ZACORA!" I banged on the door three good times, but no lanterns lit. "Well buck me. Only time I need her she ain't here. Well I know where she keeps the healing potions tho, hell she don't need a door. Her falt for always keeping it locked." I lifted my right hoof up and slamed it into the old wooden door, but unlike Fluttershy's it was still in one piece hanging by a hing. "Wow I lost my touch.....By alot!" The moon light that filled the house was bright enough for me to find the bottle of green goop. "Man these taste like rotten meat." Fighting with the griffins gets ya to try new things, and nopony knows about that eather. They would lock me up faster than Pinkie Pie can run!
I tilted my head back and chugged the slop as fast as I could trying not to taste it. "Who's drinking mah brew?" I spun around just to see the face that I know. "Ah Banjo Moon, Its just you." Her gold neck ring things shinned inthe moon light.
"Zacora its been awhile hasn't it?" Looking closer she had on a tan jump suit that hugged her curves well.
"You where dead, but look instead. Changlings have not stoped you yet." She dropped what ever she had in her hand.
"That is right, poem mare. The doctors said I was dead but fate has it out for me. Your potions were the only thing that I knew that could heal me fast." Turning I showed her my pittiful wings, moving them very little. "But the lack of fethers is its own problem. Just means I can't fly." Zacora started to remove the jump suit to show only a silk black bra and a pair of matching panties. "Are you always in heat or something?"
All she could do was giggle. "No mister Moon, just for you." She shot me a wink while walking past me to light a candle.
"Well I have been put on my last mission Stripes. Go to the hive and get Luna." Zacora just froze in the spot she was standing. "There is a good chance I will not return Zacora. Please forgive me." She was like a statue. "I must go to make good time."
"Wait." She didn't even make it sound like a poem. "Banjo Moon, I care for you." Her eyes looked into my soul, the deep nasty part of it to. She grabbed me be the helment and pulled me into a deep kiss. All I could do was put my hands on her hips and return the deep kiss. She pulled my right hand into her panties letting me feel her wet marehood. I pulled back and was meet with pleading eyes.
"Zacora i'm sorry. Mabe in another life time." She turned her back to me and ran to her room crying in her hands. "Zacora its for the best." Talking to nopony I turned and was heading to gastly gorge through the Everfree. No weapons, just my broken wings, purple armor and the ones I left behind. "This is going to be a long ass walk. Maybe i'll make it before the storm comes in. Who the hell am I kidding? The weather team here is probly already waking up to get rid of the clouds in that damn town now." On que loud thunder broke through the thick trees. "Like I said. Why am I talking to my self?"
