It has been three days after the thing with Rainbow. I'm back on terms with Twighlight, but she is still scared shitless of me just like the rest of Ponyville. Every time I walk in that town everypony stays away, whispering, running, even had a group of stallions try to fight me. I still haven't found my armor or family bow. Zacora went back to her home country with out even saying goodbye to me. Lets just say the past three days have been really shitty.
"Here you are Banjo."
"Thanks Rarity I need to stay low and this will help." The snow white mare handed me a light brown leather duster with a black cowboy hat. "How much do I owe you?" Her dark purple mane well kept matching her tail. The blue eyes went wide.
"Oh no, I could NOT take bits from you darling."
"Tough luck. How much do I owe you."
"Its on me. I insist."
"Here keep the change." I dropped a small brown bit sack in her hand and walked out the door putting on the hat to cover my eyes.
--------
At the treehouse full of books.
I knocked on the large wooden red door. The morning sun was bright but the black hat blocked the rays from hitting my white eyes. My cargo camo pants could be seen from the bottom of the leather duster that was open in the front showing my bare chest. Before you say, yes I like being shirtless and its not a crime.
"Can I help you." The door opened to a small purple dragon with green spiked spines.
"You must be Spike the dragon." I let a grin fill my face. "I'm the one known as Banjo Moon." I held my hand out to him, but was met with a door being slammed.
"TWIGHLIGHT!" I could hear him running in the house.
'Must have scared him.' I chuckled lightly to myself. 'Twighlight will be down here in a second.' I waited for a minute until I could hear hoof steps on the hard wood floor. 'Right on que.'
"How are you Banjo?" The purple alicron greetted me in blue jeans and a blue T-shirt with a cupcake on it.
"Not bad princess." I bowed because she is the only one I trust when it comes to alicorns.
"No need to bow, but why are you shirtless." Her head tilted abit moving her flat mane more to the side.
"It feels nice. You should try it some time." A chuckle sliped out as I walked into the tree. "Got any sissors or a blade?"
"For what?"
"Rarity forgot I had wings." Turning to show that my wings where missing from view.
"Yea give my a sec." She disappired into the kitchen. I looked around just to be meet with book shelves to the ceilling all filled with books.
"Sweet Luna." My jaw dropped by all of the history that was around me. Books of all size and color was every where.
"Here you go." I did not hear Twighlight behind me, my mind was long gone. "Banjo." She giggled touching my shoulder kicking me out of my transe.
"Oh, umm thanks." I removed the large coat setting it on the table. I easly cutted two slits were my wings are on my back. "Thanks Twighlight." She was lost in thought stairing at my scars.
"Can I ask you a question." Her eyes were still glued on the largest scar, this thing was made by Chrysalis from my right shoulder to my left hip.
"I don't see why ya can't. So take your shot."
"Did you really face Discord?" I sighed , I always hated explaing this.
"Yes I did."
"So every thing Celestia said was true than."
"Every little detail."
"Than you know she didn't kill your family." I gritted my teeth and balled up a fist.
"That mare has been wanting me dead since I was brought to her."
"Do you know why?" I sat down removing my hat.
"Because of my title. She has always feared the Moon name. We knew ever secret the royal family had. But all was lost with the death of my uncle Stil Moon. So why does she want me dead? Do to what me and the moon princess had." Twighlight looked like a filly getting told a bed time story. Her purple eyes locked on to my eyes.
"How did you get white eyes?" I gave a little chuckle.
"Fighting a god more than once. By your self may I add. Plus it only runs in the Moon family as far as I know."
"Oh." Her eyes finally stopped looking me down. So I got up and put on my hat and coat, making sure my wings where on the outside also.
"I must leave princess. Have a nice day." I opened the door to a bright sun. "Celestia its to bright for this shit." I started my mindless walk through Ponyville.
--------
I still had no home, just been sleepless nights and days looking over the three fillys. Someponys called my a petofoal but they don't know the reasons so I just blew off the comments. From what I know Rainbow has not told anypony what happen or why I 'stalk' the CMC. Right now I know there safe, Big Mac is a force to be messed with.
"Look what we got here." A sly stallions voice came from behind me. "We got us a petofoal." I could only chuckle at the comment as I stuffed my hands into the dusters pockets.
'Looks like Redheart is going to have some work to do.' I keep walking not knowing how many where behind me.
"Hey i'm talking to you." His hand landed on my shoulder with some force. I only laughed at him. "Whats funny perv. See some fillys or something?"
"Only your stupidity, partner." I still had my back to them, I brushed the stallions hand off of me and kept walking.
"HEY PONYVILLE HERES THE PETOFOAL!" I could feel eyes looking at me from every way.
"I'm better known as death. So would you save you and your buddies alot of pain and just walk away." He only laughed at me.
"You could only wish, plus theres six of us and only one of you." He ripped me around to make me look at him.
"Thats what Chrysalis and her army thought but there not here now." I raised my hat so he could see who hes talking to.
"Hey your the crazy stallion that flipped out! Nice touch with the bloody luner armor and detailed scars. Who did your makeup?" I took my hat off letting my mane fall out over my eyes. "I asked you a question." He shoved me back making me drop my clean black hat in the dirt.
"That was a clean hat sir. Rarity is going to be pissed." A wicked grin came to my face as I let the light brown duster fall showing my scar filled chest. This only made the brown stallion smile.
"Ah Rarity has a nice plot. She your marefriend? If so i'll make sure she screams my name instead of yours." His smile only got bigger.
"BANJO! Don't do it!" I looked up to see Rainbow Dash above me. I could not see what she had on because of the sun.
"Do what?" I was getting in trouble for something that I haven't even done yet.
"You know damn well what Banjo!" I could tell she was pissed at me for even thinking about fighting these guys.
"Come on its only six of em." I must have sounded like a colt talking to his mom.
"I'm not worried about you dumb ass!! Its them i'm scared for!" I could only laugh.
"I let them get one free punch each! How about that?"
"NO! Don't do it at all!"
"FINE! I didn't even want to fight a bunch of mares anyways!" The brown stallion charged at me only to be met with a face full of dirt. I held his arm high above the back of his head.
"Banjo I swear to Celestia if you hurt them!" I pushed alittle more listening to the stallion begainning to scream, I never stopped looking at the mare above me though. "If I have to come down there Banjo Moon I promise Redheart won't be able to fix you back up!"
"Oh yea?" I pushed alittle more making the screams grow louder, this made me shiver in joy. "I missed the sound of the ones i'm bout to kill scream under my hoof. Its like music to my ears." My grin turned into a toothy smile. "Come on just this one! I'll let the others run!" It was like a foal asking can they keep the animal they found. The stallions buddies took that as there que to turn tail and run. "PLEASE!" I looked at her with pledding eyes. The crowd grew larger with looks of hore on all there faces.
"LET HIM GO NOW!"
"Fine! Ain't gota go all mare in heat on me." I stepped of the stallion only to watch him run holding his arm. "I was *this* close." A sigh slipped out as I put on my duster and hat. "Ok so did you need something?" Looking back to the figure in the sky.
"Yea we need to talk to the girls."
"Which ones?"
"All of them. Be at Twighlights in five minutes and not every pony likes a shirtless stallion, but I think it is a nice look." I only chuckled as I took to the sky flying slow towards the treehouse.
----------
Short flight to Twighlights.
I got to think about things that I hated to think about. The lifes I took haunted me every day of every minute. The wiser I get the worse it gets.
Did they have familys?
Did they fight cause they wanted to?
How old was he or she?
Why am I like this?
Why do I do it?
Why do I love doing it?
What the hell is wrong with me?
Why Luna?
Why Celestia?
WHY?
"WHY!?" Snapped back to reality I saw the ground coming fast. I opened my wings but nothing happen. "WHAT THE HELL!?" I looked behind me to see a arrow in my back. "How can't I feel this!?" Blood was leaking out making the brown turn red. The ground did not stop coming at me. I could see ponys looking at me. Just so happend ALL of the girls were watching in fear. Rainbow shot off the ground coming right towards me. "NO GET INSIDE NOW!" Pointing to the treehouse Rainbow did not stop coming. "STOP AND LEAVE ME."
"I got you Banjo!" Rainbow grabbed me by my arms letting me dangle. "Are you ok?" I started to swing back and forth getting momentim. "What the hay are you doing!?" Her flying begain to wobble and with one good swing back I threw Rainbow towards the tree putting me back into a free fall.
"TWIGHLIGHT CATCH HER!" I felt a sharp pain in my abs. I looked down to see a wooden arrow in my lodged in my gut. "Buck that hurts." The ground was now rolling past me while I tumble to the group of girls. "Get inside now!" I got up and started to limp after the herd of mares into the libary. I slammed the door behind me looking down I watched the blood run down my ripped camo pants.
"Banjo!" Applejack ran to catch me before falling. "Don't ya go leven me just yet!" My eyes started to feel heavy. "Banjo stay wit me please!" We dropped to the floor, with her putting my head on her lap. "Banjo! I LOVE YA! PLEASE DON"T LEAVE ME! BANJO!" My world turned black.
---------------
'Well buck me. That arrow must have been enchanted or coverd in poison.'
'It was.'
'Oh how am I doing today?'
'Besides dieing? Pretty good.'
'Wait we're dieing?!'
'Pretty much. We might not make this one Banjo.'
'This day is just bucking great. Didn't get to kill that stallion, and now we're dieing. Just bucking great! Wait than that means I at least get to drink with dad.'
'Yep and talking about that your heading there now. See you in another life me!'
