The Hero They Needed

by The Alchemist


A stone of great importance

Wrath speaks like this

Divine speaks like this

I think in this


MOVE NOW!

I leapt to the side as the guardians broadsword crashed into the ground where I had been standing a few moments before.
I slashed under his guard cleaving through his ribs. The guardian gave a grunt of pain and kicked me in the ribs making my armor crumple from the blow. I rolled with the hit pushing myself up so I could avoid a follow up hit. I moved directly infront of him shifting my sword into a spear. I moved to his left and jabbed his arm forcing him to drop his broadsword. I moved in to try and deliver the killing blow. He grabbed me and pulled me close to his helmet.

"When I am through with you I will go to your world and destroy everything you love."

He threw me into the lava near the base of the city. I waited for myself to die, For the pain to come. It never did.

Eld means fire in Swedish.

You're point being?

I think we're immune to fire and burns of any kind.

Badass, grab some lava and throw it at the guardian.

I rose from the lava. The guardian was hit directly in the face.

HEADSHOT!

PLUS 100

KILLSTREAK EARNED: CAREPACKAGE

Rank up:Level 69 achieved

All joking aside I ran up to the guardian and grabbed him by the shoulders forcing him on the ground.

BLOWJOB!

Not gay

Just melted his face off.

Oh yeah I forgot

I watched as my hands started glowing white which then washed over the guardian. A few seconds later the guardian was gone leaving only his broadsword and a stone. On an impulse I picked up the sword which was absorbed into my sword. I slipped the stone into my a leather pouch tied to my belt. I walked over to the gate and tried to push it open.



It didn't work, on an impulse I pulled the stone from the leather pouch I kept it in.A white light emitted from my hands when it cleared. The door was steel I pushed it open and walked through being blinded by another light. When I could finally see I replaced the stone back in its new home.

"How are you still walking around?" Saint Micheal asked me looking at me in awe

I didn't give him a chance to say anything else as I used my wings to propel myself over to him knocking him down. I drew my blade and pointed it at his throat. He kicked me off of him and slashed through my armor piercing my lung. As it became harder and harder to breathe and my vision started to become tinged with black he said something that screwed him over.

"When I'm done with you I'm gonna find your little pony friends and make them suffer."

"I WILL FUCKING END YOU" I shouted in fury

I rushed over to him and grabbed him throwing him across the throne room of the castle. I summoned fire in my hands and threw a ball of it like a baseball. It hit him square in the chest setting his armor on fire. He ignored it and moved slightly to my left thrusting his sword between my ribs almost incapacitating me. I felt my armor get thicker and my sword changed into that of the guardians. St Micheal looked on nervous as I picked him up and threw him straight into the ground cracking the hard marble.

"We will continue this at a later time Mr.Eld." Micheal said teasingly

In a flash of light he disappeared leaving me alone for the moment. I left the throne room walking into the hallway where the girls were waiting obviously scared to move. I leaned down and picked up the clothes Rarity had made for me I walked into a restroom to change. She had made me a plain black t-shirt and a pair of jeans for the while I was here. I changed and walked out.

"Why do you keep fighting even if it seems you are going to lose?" Princess Celestia asked me

"These six ponies here are the driving force for why I fight. If I give up easily than I might have let something happen to them. I will protect them to my last breath."

"Jake what are those on your arms?" Rainbow asked me

I looked down on my arms and saw all of the girl's cutie marks on my arms. All except Rainbow Dash's.

"Why isn't my cutie mark on your arm?" Rainbow asked sounding hurt

I took my shirt off and looked on my chest and there it was over my heart. I put my shirt back on and looked at Rainbow who was blushing slightly.

"Jake is that my cutie mark on your hands?" Celestia asked me

I looked down on my hands and saw a sun emblazoned on my right palm and a moon on my left palm.

"What do you think this means." Twilight asked me sounding confused

"It means that I will always be here to protect you. Until my last breath." I replied picking them all up in a bear hug

After that I turned to Celestia and asked her if she and I could talk in private.

"What is it that you needed to talk about?" Celestia asked me

"Well I was wondering if you knew anything about this stone." I said producing the stone from my pocket

She gasped and ran from the room leaving me thoroughly confused. She came back in leading a stallion with a black coat and a gray mane.

"Jake this is Vicenzo the lead royal alchemist here. Please show him that stone you have."

I pulled the stone from my pocket and handed it over to Vincezo.

"After all these years of searching it's been found." Vincezo said sounding ecstatic

"What is so important about that stone?" I asked

"I assume you know what the Philosopher's Stone is right?"

"Yeah... Wait you mean to tell me that I just found the Philosopher's Stone?" I said sounding slightly excited

"Exactly. Would you be willing to sell it to the laboratories?" He asked me

"I will loan it to you but sell it I will not." I told him

After about another fifteen minutes we worked out a deal. I would be getting a monthly salary of 3,500 bits without even having to work. This was a good life and I even got a share of the elixirs of immortality. After signing a contract I left and made my way to Twilight's house to break the good news to the girls.

Since we are making some decent ass money maybe we could take Rainbow on a date.

Even though I feel that way about Rainbow I don't think she feels that way about me.

Why are we depressing ourselves? We are making decent money and have friends who are awesome to hangout with.

Yeah you're right lets just take all of them out for a nice night out.

I walked over to Twilight's door and was about to knock when I heard voices from inside. Going against better judgement I pressed my ear to the door.

"Twilight I'm so confused about these feelings. What if he doesn't like me back and doesn't want to be my friend anymore?"

"Jake is not like that I think you should listen to Applejack and just be honest with him. I think he would appreciate that the most." Twilight said

"Oh darling I think its just wonderful you like a stallion.....er man. One that is a fighter and protects us. He is even good friends with your friends." Rarity said

My heart exploded with joy at hearing that Rainbow actually liked me. I chose this moment to walk into the library and tell the girls the news about my job. I opened the door scaring all of the girls.

"So guess who just made a great contribution to science and is now getting payed 3,500 bits a month." I said

"What contribution did you make?" Twilight asked me

"Well I am the proud new owner of the Philosopher's Stone." I said in my best british accent

Twilight started asking me many questions but Applejack put her hoof in Twilight's mouth

"Who wants to go out for a round of drinks? I'll pay for everypony" I asked

"Ooh I would love to but I need to take care of my animals. If thats alright with you that is." Fluttershy said quietly

Everypony else but Pinkie and Shy were up for it. Applejack and Rainbow showed me their favorite bar. The Drunken Princess

"Hows about I show ya how we drink on the farm." Applejack asked me

"An old fashioned drinking contest it is then. Bartender a dozen of your strongest drinks."

The bartender dropped twelve glasses of a clear looking liquid infront of me.

"Bottoms up!" I said and downed a glass in one go

I tasted like soda more specifically vanilla coke. I downed another three glasses and looked at Applejack still drinking her first glass. I drank the rest of mine as Applejack passed out after her fourth glass. I wasn't even slightly tipsy. I stood up and grinned at Rainbow after I put Applejack over my shoulder.

"We should probably get her back home. Night everypony!" I said as Rainbow and I left the bar

After dropping Applejack off and explaining the dangers of drinking to Applebloom, Rainbow and I flew up to her house in the clouds. I opened the front door for her and bowed earning me a giggle from her.

"Listen Rainbow I got something to tell you." I began

"Wait me first it's pretty important. I kind of like you." she said her voice decreasing at the end of her sentence

"I like you too Rainbow. Do you want to be my marefriend?" I said looking her in the eyes

At hearing that she sprung up from the floor and started zooming around me in joy. I laughed and grabbed her and hugged her tight not wanting to let her go. Sh nuzzled my face in affection.

"Alright lets go to bed because I for one am tired." She said leading me towards her room

I shrugged and laid down after stripping down to my boxers to sleep. I layed there as Rainbow hugged my chest and snored lightly. A few minutes later I found sleep.
