//------------------------------// // Wake up Guardian (2.0) // Story: Ponies Destiny to become legend // by Szalhi //------------------------------// “Guardian? Wake up Guardian.” A voice rang as Twilight began to wake up. Getting a glimpse of her location, She realised she was under a pile of debris. What the buck is going on? she thought as she pushed the debris off her body. She had hardly any memory of what happened before. She had knowledge. But that was about it. She could only remember part of her name. But what was her full name? “Ok good. You’re okay. I don’t know how to say this, but you’ve been dead for a long time. It’s okay though. You’re back now and i’m going to explain everything to you as soon as we get out of here. I’ll answer one question though.” The voice said as she looked around to see a Levitating artificial robot nearby. “Who the buck are you?” She asked wiping the debris off her body. Armour? Why the Buck am i wearing some sort of Armour? she thought inspecting the armor that she wore. It wasn’t very much. Just some plating here and there. “Me? Well i am a Ghost. Well, i’m your Ghost. I’m here to assist you on your journey. But right now, we need to get you a gun and bring you back to the tower.” The ghost replied disappearing from sight and interacting with Twilight’s armour. “Where would we find a gun? And where are we anyway?” She asked stretching her limbs. “I’ll answer later. For now, follow that point on your H.U.D” Twilight Began to make her way following the point on her H.U.D. She had no idea whether to trust the Ghost or not, but the Ghost seemed to of revived her so it seemed good enough. “There, up ahead. A hoof cannon. Go grab it. We’ll need it to defend against the Fallen.” The fallen? A New type of species here? Hmm, there’s alot i don’t know about this place. Twilight made her way up to the Hoof cannon on the ground. A revolver like weapon that utilised a single cylinder for loading. She wanted to question how that would even fire, but decided to go along with it. She grabbed it off the ground and a symbol appeared on her H.U.D representing the current weapon, Ammunition, and ammo loaded. She had 7 rounds loaded but no reserve ammunition. “It’s fully loaded but no spare ammunition. Luckily your melee can be quite devious. C’mon, let’s find a jumpship to get back to the tower.” Travelling across the landscape, she took a glimpse at the world around her. She started remembering the world that she lived in during her previous life. Equestria. But surely, this isn’t Equestria. She died in Equestria so she should be in Equestria. This land looks quite barren. “Hault, up ahead, there’s a jumpship. That’s our target. But the Fallen have gotten to it first. We need to take them on.” The ghost said to Twilight as she rose her Hoof cannon and proceeded to enter her first battle. 12 Fallen. 1 of her. You’ve got to be kidding me. 12:1? “You can do it. Just aim for the head and melee when you have to. It’s not that hard.” The Ghost said encouraging Twilight as she made her way behind a nearby piece of debris. Looking around she spotted a grenade on the ground. “Right there, a Grenade. Quite old fashioned, but should do some damage.” The ghost said to her as she grabbed it. Pulling the pin on the grenade, she proceeded to chuck the grenade onto the group of Fallen. The Grenade detonated into a small puff as the Fallen reacted to the blast. It didn’t do much damage like the Ghost said, but weakened them enough to make the battle easier. “Should i just rush in and kill them?” She asked as the Fallen became aware of a presence. “Unless you have a rifle, i suggest that’s what you should do. Does this look like a rifle to you?” To be honest, i don’t really know what a rifle is. Twilight peeked up from behind the debris and headshotted 2 Fallen Dregs. Quickly ducking behind the debris she realised that they’re not that powerful and she could easily rush in and take them on. She quickly jumped over the Debris and melee’d the Dreg that was on the other side. She took a bit of incoming damage, but she managed to hold it off. Firing 2 more headshots, she took out 2 more dregs. The grenade was sufficient enough to take out their health so the headshots were lethal. She fired 3 more shots onto 3 dregs killing 2 with one managing to survive. Out of ammo, she rushed up and melee’d one. “You’re doing way better than expected. But these are only dregs so, they’re pretty weak.” Ghost said surprised at how she took down 8 dregs already. Meleeing 2 more dregs she came across the last 2 fallen. Vandals wielding fusion rifles. They both managed to charge up a shot as she killed off the previous dregs. She managed to dodge one, but got hit by the force of The second one, draining most of her health. She quickly ducked behind cover as her health quickly recovered and quickly ducked out and struck one Vandal twice. Right before the other managed to Charge up it’s shot, she dived onto it stopping the charge and put all her force into the melee. “That was quite good for your first battle.” The ghost complimented. “How did you pull that off?” “I felt a surge. A power surge, yeah that’s it.” She answered as she felt a slight power within her. This world, is too weird for me. “You’ve just leveled up. You should’ve unlocked a grenade skill. A Vortex grenade. You can use that later. Now let me deal with that jumpship.” Twilight summoned the Ghost as it started working on starting up the Jumpship. I have no idea what i am, but it’s really fun taking out these Creatures. Don’t know if they’re native or not She thought equipping her Vortex grenade. She felt a short change inside her as the Vortex grenade was equipped. “Now just wait while i start this up. There should be some weapons nearby.” She looked around the Jumpship and found a working gun. An Auto-rifle and 230 rounds. Loading the magazine she found the capacity to be at 34. “While we’re here, can i ask. Where am i? And what am i now?” She asked inspecting the Rifle. It wasn’t quite heavy. It was certainly more heavy than the Hoof cannon. Looking at it closer, it’s firing mechanism had a lot more logic. “You’re on Equestria. I believe about 2000 years after your death. You’re a Guardian. A protector of the last city of Canterlot. To be precise, you’re a warlock. A voidwalker. You’ll understand later when you get stronger.” “I Don’t remember much, but this doesn’t look like Equestria.” Twilight said Gazing upon the land around her. “It is, But a lot has changed after the traveller came. The traveller changed everything. The traveller is what gives you these different powers and created me.” The ghost answered. “That, seems, quite, reasonable. But do you have a real name? I want to address you by something more specific.” “I never was given a name. The Traveller created my kind but never named us. But as your companion, just let me know what you want to call me. But please, can you just deal with those Fallen incoming?” “What fallen?” “Right there, Another group is coming. You should be able to take them on.” Twilight nodded as she approached the incoming fallen firing her Weapon at the 8 fallen. 4 Vandals and 4 dregs. She chucked a vortex grenade that managed to damage quite a few of them and create a temporary damaging vortex area where they would not go. “Do you know any weaknesses?” She asked the ghost as it started working on hacking into the Jumpship “Try the head. It worked with the hoof cannon” She aimed for the head and managed to quickly take out dregs as the other dreg flee’d off into the company of the Vandals. Taking aim at the Vandals, She Fired a barrage of ammunition into their Heads as they closed in on her. She managed to Take down 2 Vandals before her Health got low. Ducking behind some debris, she let her health recharge. “Hey, i know this isn’t a good time to ask, but why does my Health regenerate so fast?” “Warlocks have good recovery. They lack in armour though.” Ghost answered almost finished. She managed to take down another Vandal, a fierce shot to the head that it could not dodge, as the Last one charged with swords backed up by the last Dreg. “Oh, this one’s going to be tough.” She said as Her ghost managed to take control of the Jumpship. “Just leave it, we’re going.” She ducked behind cover as the Jumpship started heading off, passing over her. Right as the Vandal made it to her, the Grenade recharged and she chucked one down. She was warped inside the Ship as it started making it’s way across Equestria. She looked over the Vandal as it got torn apart. “Close call, thanks. I’ve never seen anything this advanced before.” “You will have more to see later. But for now, just sit back.” She set her weapons on a nearby seat. She looked in a nearby cabinet and found some Hoof cannon ammo. She sat down as it made it’s way through the atmosphere of Equestria.Ghost said i could give it a name. She thought as she started thinking through all the names. One particular name came to her mind. It was like it just sparked up there and refused to be replaced by a different name. Hello, Spike Twilight. Level 2 Voidwalker. Skills unlocked: Vortex grenade. Weapons scavenged: Auto rifle, Hoof cannon.
