"Hehehe...you guys struggle like Star mutts under a spinfusor barrage." I didn't know what to think after they surrendered when I threatened to place a disc in their face. Although they kept struggling after I tied them up. They sought it in themselves to keep throwing insults at me like "scar face" even after I told them my name.
"HEY MEANIE PANTS!!" '............meanie pants really?' After I set my helmet down I turned and faced the culprit of what I guess was a insult. Yup the pink one.....wow sounds like a bad holo vid. "Yes how may I entertain my wannabe hostages?"
"First of all you didn't have to go to such great lengths to ask questions." Was this purple one trying to tell me of? "Second of all you don't need to go around assaulting everypon-HAHAHA" she didn't get to finish before I started to laugh. "OH by the firetruce you seriously did not just call yourselves a pony." I failed to notice the tall white hybrids powers show around her horn as a pipe started to arc for my back. Years of combat experience and dodging spinfusors alerted my to an incoming object feeling, I always trust my gut, as I started to yell "INCOMING!" I remembered that I was all alone and I spun on my heel and snagged what looked like a piece of lead pipe out of the air.
---------------------------------------
Everypony froze as the creature who called himself Blood Talon spun around to fast for any one to track and grabbed the pipe the princess was about to hit him with. The they all froze in fear as he bent it to a pretzel shape. 'Okay so maybe distracting him while the princess knocked him out wasn't such a good idea." Twilight thought.
"Alright I'm getting tired of your games. Where going to play Shock-Jock." he said as Blood Talon walked over to a sink with a bucket. They were all puzzled and wondering what he was doing filling a bucket of water. He walked over and pulled out a magic battery used for keeping lights on and such in the laboratory and the cables. At this point everypony heard both of the princesses hyperventilating. 'What has them so frightened?' wondered Twilight till she felt cold water pour all over herself and her friends. "Now let's begin." stated Blood Talon rubbed the cables together getting a magical electric spark thus made the rest of the hostages hyperventilating.
------------------------------------
"Where am I?" I asked with no trace of kindness in my voice. "c...cant...Canterlot." stated the purple one with pride. 'Canterlot wow they really do think there equines.' I turn my attention to the orange-brownish looking one. "What is the name of this country?" I questioned they looked at me like a just grew another head...okay I have to add some force. Then I connected the wires to the white one with purple hair and they all started spazzing after a few seconds I pulled the cables off and I heard crying and walked around to the back the yellow one with pink hair was crying...perfect liverage.
"Now I will ask again. What IS the NAME of this COUNTRY!" I added force to some of my words as well as Bringing the cables to bare. Their reaction was instantaneous they were screaming and hollering 'Equestria' over and over on the verge of tears. Looks like I found a fear of theirs. "Alright now what is the name of this pl-" Then i felt something slam into my back.
------------------------------------------------------------
Twilight was relieved to see her brother come and save them when he fired a tranquilizer spell ,as he walked towards them they all gasped to see Shining get decked by Blood Talon. When they started their brawl everypony moved to comfort Twilight ensuring that "The captain of the guard can take this brute.". They where a little surpised when they found out that he could slide across floors at high speeds. "SHINING NO!!!" Twilight was screaming crying even begging Blood Talon to stop when he grabbed her brother and flipped him over his shoulder and commenced to nonstop face beating.
Shining Armor threw Blood Talon off as he started to stand he looked back only to be thrown off his feet by a large blue blast.
"How could I have missed you cant miss with a spinfusor!?" Blood talon exclaimed he quickly threw his gun away as he sled across the floor only to get close lined by Shining. He responded by flying across the floor away from a hoof to the skull. He flew into the air armed with a new gun with a claw on the end when he fired the ponies were expecting blood only for the claw to grab Shining armor's head.
"What the hay!?" Blood talon then threw shining in the air and slammed him on the ground knocking him unconscious. Everypony starred in fear as Blood talon turned to them. "Your beginning to be more trouble than you are worth." He approached the ponies and they returned it with shouts to stay back.
"Please we will answer you questions willingly!" twilight shouted she was meet with shocked gasps and questioning glances. "Sure I"ll even untie you if you behave." He informed they looked shocked for a second.
"WHY!?" Rainbow questioned. "Your friend looks traumatized...and I'm quite hungry." He finished with a Equuis shattering stomach growl.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Okay I will." I sat there moving towards the tied up group ,and started undoing the knot. 'I would only be proving the Empire right if I don't stop this useless violence.' When the knot was undone they all prepared to jump me at once but was stopped by goldy. 'I really need to learn there names.' I went over to the table holding my things and saw a repair pack. After attaching it to my waist I walked over there to soldier boy. 'shazbot I really did a number on you might be extra safe points if I fix him up!' I quickly hit the activation key on the packs and watched his face and the rest of his body and armor start arranging itself.
-------------------------------------------------
The ponies could only stare in amazement as they watched the green beam start healing Shining Armor. 'AMAZING maybe they do have magic after all!' when it was said and done they watched as Blood threw a hand at shining armor and tensed thinking it was another attack but, they were relieved when Shining Armor grabbed it and let Blood Talon pull him up.
On his way to the door he grabbed his helmet and pulled his helmet on and connected two tubes to the back of the helmet. When he started approaching the ponies they all tensed up again. They nearly lost it when he asked "So anyone hungry?"
--------------------------------------------------------------
We arrived to the largest dining room I have ever seen. 'This is a bit too much like the Empire if you ask me.' When took a seat at the end of the table all of the others sat at the other end as I removed my helmet. "Do you have anywhere I can change?"....Waiting for a response.
"OH um down the hall first door to the right." Response was hurried...small amounts of sweat. Yup nervousness I removed my self from the room and down the hall I walked past another hybrid except pink...."Hi." And continued on not even bothering to look at the bug looking one in chains 'Hmm...maybe they aren't as childish as I originally thought.' As I turned to the door I caught a quick glimpse at their faces and commenced to laughing when I shut the door.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I came back to the dining room with my armor in a duffle bag from the deployable inventory. I was wearing a black jumpsuit with blood red shoulders reaching down to my hands a red blood eagle emblem on the front ,and a red outlined black talon on the back. I walked in to see ten ponies glaring at the bug but immediately gained all of there attention.
"Surely Mister Talon with all the clothes you wear I would expect you to have a more stylish wardrobe than that dreaded suit of armor you wore." Hmmm I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or insult. As I sat down I saw a sandwich in front of my seat I looked up to see the others staring at me intently even buggy over there. I barley took a bite and man did I want to hurl. I did a spit take and rinsed my mouth with the glass of water. "SHAZBOT!! That tasted like hay ugh!!" I exclaimed Only to be delivered a swift retort. "Of course it is what did you expect?" I prepared to deliver a shock of a life time. "I don't know a glorak stake maybe some hamburger we stole from a Imperial supply freighter that one time." I was met with stunned silence the only noise being laughter from that bug over there. "Y..yo....y...you eat meat....WHAT KIND OF SICK MONSTER ARE YOU!?" exclaimed purple. "The one that likes to live.".....silence how I have missed you.
-------------------------------------------------
"So I introduced myself in that lab lets hear your names." stated blood talon after swallowing a piece of imported steak that princess Celestia ordered to be cook for our.....friend NO that is diffinantly not going to EVER happen...not after what he did to Fluttershy.
"Well I'm Twilight Sparkle and these are my friends: Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy." Twilight finished as Celestial and Luna pick up where they left off. "And me and my sister are Princess Celestia and Princess Luna." We were going to keep going but the chuckling being on the otherside of the table stopped us. We thought we were throwing glares that could melt ice…but we were proven wrong when he laughed.
"Ugh what the hay is so funny!?" Rainbow questioned.
"Y'all's names sound like flavors of cotton candy." Blood talon finished on the other end of the table. We looked at him strangely and I was about to retort when a dual toned voice stepped in.
"Will anyling explain to me what's going on?!" And with that we all turned our attention to the changeling in chains and tattered clothes.
********************
'Now what is that?' It looked to be a cross between a glorak and a pony!
"Excuse me but who are you?" I questioned.
"Oh me I'm Queen Chrysalis of the Changeling Swarm "Dust to Dust."' She finished.
