Mizuki woke up with a shock, yesterday was not a good day for her, the event that destroyed her whole world happened fourteen years ago. Though she had to admit while it had been the worse day of her entire life, if it hadn't happened she would never have met him.
Suddenly, she felt two muscular arms coil around her naked waist, as his soft voice whispered in her ear, "Are you alright, Mizu?". Turning around, she saw the two beautiful shining blue eyes. "Is there something you want to talk about? There is nothing outside this room just you and me.", Morgenstern said as he placed a kiss on the side of her neck. She giggled softly before planting a soft kiss on his lips, "It's nothing. Though I have been a naughty girl, master." she said as she rubbed her chest on his chest. "Your into some kinky things, my faithful apprentice.", Morgenstern told her as she climbed on top of him.
Meanwhile in Manehatten at the Southern branch of the National Bank of Equestria, a group of thieves were holding it up. Wow, and here I thought stuff like that didn't happen in Equestria, then again we only have seen Ponyville, Canterlot and the Crystal Empire. Anyways, back to the situation at hand.
"I got all the bits I could. There's still some in there though.", the earth ponies said to his colleague while they loaded the loot in a get-away carriage while the unicorn kept the guards occupied. "We ain't got time to go back in. Let's move out, boys.", the leader a pegasus said as they prepared to leave, but all of them froze in fear as the sound of a sonic boom was heard and moments later a black blur landed between them and the guards.
Standing up to his full length, Skywalker glared at them, he was not having a good day. Firstly, after a simple test, it appeared that Skywalker was indeed a descendant of Celestia. After hearing the uhm... news, they told Luna. She did not take it well... And now she wasn't even speaking to him. Secondly, because Skywalker is related to Celestia, somehow, that also meant he was related to Blueblood of all people!
"I give you one chance to surrender." Skywalker told them but apparently they were quite arrogant as they stood ready to fight him, "I was hoping for that.", he told them as he uncrossed his arms.
One of the unicorn suddenly sends a magic bullet at him, but the spell didn't have enough power to even cause a slight discomfort on Skywalker. Taking a deep breath, Skywalker exhaled a freezing air, encasing the attacking unicorn around his head. His balance lost, the unicorn stumbles forward towards Skywalker, who hits him against the head with a back spinning kick, due to which he slams head first against stairs, the ice around his head shatters as he stays down.
The Earth Pony enraged by what happened to his friend, charges Skywalker by jumping up. However, before he could land Skywalker sends out a telekinetic blast, catapulting the attacking him high into the air, falling on a wire suspended from one building to the other. From the wire, the Earth Pony is catapulted against a wooden advertising board, falls down on the pentice of a shop, is thrown off of there into a tapestry, which rips under his weight, before flopping on the ground where he lies still.
Seeing two of his allies defeated, the Pegasus turned towards Skywalker ready to attack but was surprised as Skywalker took the offence. He jumps forward, he reaches the Pegasus, he grabs him by the front hooves, turns him around one time to build up momentum, as Skywalker throws the Pegasus up while kicking him through the window of a shop at the opposite side of the street.
With the threat neutralized, Skywalker did a quick scan to see if anyone got hurt. Much to his discomfort, instead of cheering they were kneeling before him, as if he was some sort of god. Taking quickly to the air, Skywalker made his way back to Ponyville. "First Lulu doesn't talk to me anymore, I have this cult on my hands, an assassin who is after me and my friends and now the ponies are starting to worship me... This is really not a good day... Wow, my thinking voice sounds funny.", he thought to himself, Ponyville soon coming into few.
Meanwhile at Shoveitupyourass Street, McGrath was watching the news about the attempted bank robbery in Manehatten and he was not having a good day, normally Rarity's presence was enough to break him out of it, but today not even the presence of his girlfriend could cheer him up, on top of that he had this irritating itch right above his butt. "Watching the news again?", Rarity asked him, making her coltfriend rolled his eyes. "Well, it changes every day, you see." he snarked at her. Moments later a letter appeared in his hand in a bright flash. Recognized the handwriting, McGrath quickly opened it and took in the context, a determent look creeping into his eyes.
"So what was that assassin's name again?" Pinkie asked Phoenix as both walked around the Market place. "Mizuki or something. Why do you ask?" he answered. He suspected that Pinkie might have been worried about being attack by the red headed assassin, as she was ordered to take out one of the EoH wielders. But much to his surprised Pinkie casually stated, "Oh. Her. I see her at the Sugarcube Corner sometimes. Threatens to turn you into a toad and eat you if you beat her at cards.".
"You're... joking." Phoenix said slowly as his pink friend replied with a "Perhaps.".
Before she could say anything else, she saw McGrath hastily walking towards the Everfree Forest, leaving Phoenix behind she quickly followed him. "McGrath, were are you going!?" she asked as she walked up next to him.
"They found him. I'm going to finish it." McGrath said as he opened a portal to the human world. Before he could enter it, Pinkie got in his way, "McGrath, you can't do this alone. I'm coming with you whatever you like it or not." she said as she expected resistance but all she got was a, "Alright, lets go.", as he walked through the portal.
Earth, Twiy Town, Train station. McGrath landed softly on his feet, using the portals was similar to his teleportation ability, so it wasn't that difficult for him. Looking over his shoulder to see if Pinkie was okay, and much so his surprise she wasn't the mare he was used too. Before him sat a young lady, about his age with puff pink hair that was unmistakably that of his pink friend. Much to his embarrassed (and possibly delight if his little friend was to believed) she was completely naked.
"We made it, McGrath! Whoa, why is everything so wobbily?" she said as she tried to walk on two legs but not used to it, she fell over. Acting on instinct, McGrath reached forward, quickly grabbing her. His face became a soft shade of red as he realized her breast were rubbing against him. "Why am I one of you guys?", she asked as she tried to stand again.
McGrath took off his hoodie placing it on his naked friend as he spoke, "I assume its because the magic that exist between the Worlds. Maybe its so their would be no panic or something, shit I don't know." he said, his explanation being as good as any for now. Though it didn't explain why he and his friends didn't turn into ponies when they entered Equestria.
"I think we should get you some clothes before we head out..." McGrath noted as he took her hand, making her blush. As they made their way to the shopping district, Pinkie looked around. This place looked nothing like Ponyville, it looked more like Manehatten if everybody spoke with an accent similar to Rarity's. Come to think of it, McGrath himself spoke with a light hint of that same accent.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the store where they could find some clothes for Pinkie. Much to Pinkie's surprise all the clothes were really, really, really expensive. Informing McGrath of this, he ensured her that he would take care of it as he walked towards one of the sales woman, who after a few words from him made a slight bow before him.
"Thanks for waiting, Pinkie.", McGrath said to an awed Pinkie as he walked over to the clothing line, looking for fitting clothes for her. "At the very least, I need to be able to choose some clothes for her. Maybe I should go with pink.", McGrath thought to himself as Pinkie watched him and felt very touched.
After a few minutes, Pinkie had picked out a short sleeved shirt in a similar pink to her usual coat, a light blue hot pants, knee high socks and a pair of pink sneakers. "I think you'll look great in these clothes.", McGrath said as she nodded, giving him a serious look and pulled him inside the dressing room with her.
"What are you doing?" McGrath said in an angry whisper, as Pinkie got his back against the wall. "W-what are you doing Pinkie Pie?", he asked her again, his face turning a soft shade of red. "McGrath, I've never worn anything like this. I don't know how to put on these human clothes. Will you dress me?", she asked him, making him flinch. "I couldn't do something as embarrassing as that." he told her as he scratched the back of his brown hair. "I don't mind being seen by you." Pinkie told him as she trailed a finger over his muscular chest. "You should mind.".
Meanwhile over at Sugarcube Corner, Rainbow had dragged Skywalker out of his room to get some drinks with her, both were sitting at a table, though Skywalker wasn't that talkative. He had tried to talk to Luna again but she wasn't around according to Celestia. "Hey Jason buddy?", Rainbow said, as Skywalker looked up painfully at her, "How is it going? Did something happen this morning.", he had told her about him being Celestia's descendant, he was taking that just fine (save for being related to Blueblood), but Luna not talking to him was eating away at him. "I just drew the blinds, opened the liquor and crank the tunes...", he told her, making her ask if it was "Castello?" he was listening too, but Skywalker admitted that is was "Phil Collins...", stunning her. "...Wow...", she said slowly as Skywalker said, "Yeah...".
Back at Pinkie and McGrath, the two friends had were walking through Twiy town after getting Pinkie her clothes. The one thing she did noticed that some people gave her green eyed friend a look of awe. Not long after, they found themselves in front a large building, on top of it, Pinkie could see a see a big MC like logo with under it, 'MC Enterprises'. She turned back to McGrath, but she saw him simply walk towards the front door. She quickly followed him as the front door slipped open, they found themselves in the front lobby, the floor and walls were made of black marble, humans in business suits coming in and out of this weird door. Pinkie assumed they had to talk to the lady at the front desk, but again McGrath simply walked to one of the weird doors, which was something called an 'elevator'.
After a short elevator ride, the both of them got at the fifteen floor, nobody stopped them as they came to a stop at a large oak wooden door. "Shall we knock? No, let's surprised them.", McGrath said more to himself as he kicked the door in, before walking inside. The gathered people looked up as McGrath strode past, as if he owned the place as he came to a stop at the head of the table. Placing his hand on it, he took a seat before addressing those who gathered.
"Anyone not related to me, GTFO.", he commanded as all but two got up and quickly made to the door. After they closed the door, the young man and lady walked to them, both with soft smiles on their face. The male one was relatively well build, his brownish blond hair swept back, with a strand hanging down his face, his sharp emerald green eyes would make even the most hardened mare blush. He was dresses in a black business suit with a matching tie, white dress shirt and brown leather shoes.
The female one was also relatively well build, her body wouldn't be out of place for a model, her brown hair reached down to her lower back, the front of her hair cut in a typical hime cut, her sharp emerald green eyes would make even the most hardened guy blush. She was dresses in a white business suit with a black tie, white dress shirt and brown leather shoes.
"Hallo Neville." McGrath said with a hint of distaste in his voice towards the man called Neville. "Hallo, little brother.", he replied as Pinkie looked on in shock. Before more could be said, the girl got between them, "Easy there you two. I am sure my favorite little brother didn't got all the way back home just to bicker with you." she said calming the two down a little. "I am your only little brother, Emma!", McGrath said as he rolled his eyes, which made Pinkie gasp in surprise, drawing the attention from Neville and Emma.
Emma was the first to speak up, "Oh hallo, didn't see you there. My name is Emma McGrath and this is Neville McGrath.", she explained as the two girls shook hands, the girls accent and the way she carried herself made her remind Pinkie of Rarity. Getting a good look at the other young man, Pinkie gasped in shock, "Wait a minute, I know you! Your that guy who saved AJ's farm." Pinkie said to Neville who gave out a little chuckle.
"Actually it would be more accurate to say that my little brother over here saved Miss AJ's farm. After all the money came out of his personal bank account." Neville explained, all three chuckled as they could see McGrath giving them an annoying look.
"Anyways, who are you exactly? My darling little brother doesn't bring any friend home with her. Wait, are you perhaps this Rarity we have him talk so much about?".
At this a tomato red McGrath stood up, saying that he wants the information they had. "Of course." Neville said as he handed McGrath a file, which he quickly studied. Giving them a nod, McGrath turned around gesturing Pinkie to follow him, "Do you want me to get your limo?" Neville asked but McGrath kept walking, "We'll take the Murcielago.", McGrath told him as his siblings shook his head. "Much more subtle." Emma noted as Pinkie turned around, "My name is Pinkie Pie by the way."
Back over at Ponyville, Skywalker and Rainbow Dash were still at Sugarcube Corner as they drowned a few more beers. "W-Wait a minute... Does Sugarcube Corner have a permit to serve alcohol?" Skywalker thought to himself not noticing that Fluttershy was walking up behind them. With a devilish grin Rainbow asked, "So Jason. What's your type of girl?", she couldn't help but chuckle at Skywalker's surprised face and as Fluttershy's ears peak up.
Skywalker thought about it for a moment before speaking up, "I never stopped to think about it. I guess she doesn't need to have super powers. Sure, it would be great if she had, its a great way to reach a level of understanding that takes much longer otherwise. As long we support each other and be there for each other, to go through everything it's good enough for me. I'm a magnet for trouble, so she would be put through some very weird and dangerous situations.", he explained as his best friend nodded, while their yellow friend was listening intensely.
"I like girls who I can talk to and make me laugh, but I also like a girl who can appreciate the moment and be silent, just hanging out together. She doesn't needs to be smoking hot. I'm a realistic guy. But being cute helps." he continued as Rainbow chuckled, "I see.", she said as she gave him a mocking grin. "Come on! Don't look at me like that! I bet all you girls would like a cute guy too, right?... right? I am going to die single." Skywalker said depressed as he bumped his head on the table.
Back at McGrath and Pinkie, who were currently driving over a quite rode. Pinkie didn't knew much about these things humans called 'cars' other that it was also a movie, but she remembered Sutakira once telling her that 'Lamborghini's' were expensive cars. During the ride, McGrath explained to her where they were going and what they would be doing there. "Well, this is the big moment. I hope you will not be disappointed." Pinkie said to him. "Disappointment is not a option. That man destroyed everything that was good and innocent about me. This is all that is left of me. What am I good at, Pinkie?", McGrath replied, surprising her with the amount of bitterness in his voice.
"I will tell you what you are good at, McGrath.", she said trying to reassure him, "You are a good friend and no matter what you say there is still humanity in you. You still have the power to be good. It's important that you believe that.".
McGrath contemplated what she said before saying slowly, "Maybe I will start to believe that when father is dead. That might give me some perspective.". Not much later, McGrath parked the car in front of a small cottage deep inside the forest. Pinkie noted that the building looked abandoned and hadn't been lived in for ages.
McGrath was about to step out of the car but Pinkie stopped him by placing her hand on his, "Once this is done, then you must begin to forgive. Think about your future instead of the horrible things that have happened to you in the past." she said as her best friend turned his emerald green eyes to the cottage. "After this is done, then we can talk about forgiveness and redemption. Now is not the time for such conversation. This is where it all ends.", McGrath said as he stepped out of the car.
McGrath was at the front door within a few steps, he didn't bother to knock as with a swift kick he broke open the door, making it left hanging from its hinges as he stepped in side with Pinkie quickly following him. Despise being right behind him, McGrath had already disappeared from the hall way, thought she found him quickly as his voice came out of one of the rooms upstairs. "You remember me!?" the voice of McGrath shouted as Pinkie quickly made her way upstairs as another voice was heard, "Leave me alone. I don't know you. I don't know you." the voice replied weakly as it let out a heavy cough before a heavy slam was heard. "Yes, you do. Just tell me why.", the coldness in McGrath's voice shocking Pinkie. As she entered the study room, she saw what the slam was, McGrath was a man by the color of his dress shirt against a wall, shockingly to her the man McGrath was holding looked exactly like a older version of him.
"Tell me, what made it okay for you to experiment on your own son!", he asked him coldly, a look in his eyes that made even Pinkie scared of McGrath.
"Supremehumans, since the discovery of their existence they have been regarded with fear, suspicion, often hatred. Are they the next link in the evolutionary chain or simply a new species of humanity fighting for their share of the world? Never before, in all of human history, has there been a cause which could unite us as a species... but the most frustrating thing I've learned is that nobody really knows how many even exist." McGrath's father explained, as his son looked at him in anger, "We were trying to build weapons who could stand up to them, sentinels for humanity. It was your mothers idea to infect her with the M-Genes, passing her powers on to her unborn son, and we succeeded. Those test we put you through, they were harsh but you were the Ultimate Life Form. A fortunate side effect of your abilities was that your blood had became a cure. A cure for nearly all known disease, unfortunately your mother didn't allow me to drain you for...".
He was interrupted by a loud gasp from Pinkie, as both man turned their attention to her, "He is your son! How could you have...", Pinkie shouted completely shocked, she couldn't understand how someone could do something like that to their own flesh and blood. "My son is dead! Just like the rest of you.", McGrath's father shouted in anger but he looked shocked as McGrath let out a loud roar, throwing his father across the room sending him into another wall.
"So that makes it okay? You ruined me, you neuk!", McGrath shouted as he slowly walked towards the coughing form of his father, "Kill me, then! Trust me, you'll be doing me a favor." he shouted while getting to his knees as his son conjured a golden energy spear inside the palm of his hand."Pinkie... Go wait in the car...", McGrath ordered, the coldness of his voice scaring even Pinkie. Much to his surprise he could feel a small hand pulling at his sleeve.
"McGrath... come on, let's go. Let him suffer... he knows what he did. He doesn't look like he enjoys life too much. Come on.", Pinkie begged him, she didn't know why but she felt that if McGrath would do this things would only get worse for him.
McGrath launched the speak into the wall behind his father as he took a swing at his father with his left hand, his fist connecting with his father's jaw, sending him to the ground as he lost contentious, "That was for everyone. That was for me.", McGrath stated with heavy breathing as he turned around to leave. On the way out, he spotted a flipped over leather briefcase, its files spilling out, one file was named 'Project D. McGrath'.
On the drive back home, McGrath had placed the leather briefcase and its content in his drunk. After they left the house, neither Pinkie or McGrath himself had said a word. Pulling up a red light, Pinkie finally decided to speak up, "You did the right thing, McGrath. It is not often that someone can be sure of that but you definitely did the right thing. Be proud of yourself.", she told him trying to cheer her up, but all he could respond with was a cold laughter.
"Let's have a neuking party, break out the champagne. I let a diseased, asshole live after hunting him for over a decade. Bloody hell, someone hand me the keys to the neuking city!", McGrath shouted angrily as the light turn green.
Pinkie looked to the side before slowly saying, "There's no need to take that tone, McGrath.".
McGrath shook his head before saying, "I'm sorry if my tone offends you, Pinkie Pie." much to her surprise he sounded sincere, "But this has been a very difficult moment for me. It took every fiber of my being to not kill my father, to not get revenge for all he has done to me.", he said as he pulled up at parking garage of MC Enterprises.
"What made you spare him?", Pinkie asked curiously as he turned down the engine. It took him some minutes before finding the answer, "I don't know. I wanted it for so long. He would just be dead, but then, when I looked at him, I realized that nothing would change if I killed him, revenge would not somehow shut the book on what he had done to me.", McGrath said, his vision becoming fogging, he could his eyes become wet with tears. He felt a small hand wipe away the tear that had managed to escape his left eye before two arms enveloped him in a hug . "So, keep living and try to have a happy life. Try to move on, and me and the rest of our friend will be right behind you.", Pinkie told him as she stared into his emerald green eyes. McGrath gave a small nod before taking out his phone, dialing up his sister, to tell her what had happened.
A few hours later, Pinkie and McGrath arrived back at Ponyville. McGrath walked her back to Sugarcube Corner, neither of them talking much. Though Pinkie was happy to be back on for legs, she still wasn't happy that her best buddy was still having that sad scowl on his face.
"We're back home, do you want to come in and play with the twins?", Pinkie asked, she didn't like it when her friends were sad, especially McGrath, he was way cuter when he was happy.
"No, I need to be alone." McGrath told her and much to her surprise, he gave her that smile which she found so attractive, "Thank you for coming with me, Pinkie. If there is anything you need help with, anything at all, don't be afraid to ask me for help".
Pinkie nodded, "Do not mention it, McGrath.", much to her surprise his smile disappeared and he looked serious again.
"Stop that, I want you to stop calling me McGrath. I want you to call me by my first name.", he told her much to her surprise, even Rarity didn't call him by his first name. Then again nobody knows McGrath's first name. "I don't know your first name...", she informed him.
McGrath closed his eyes as he let out a soft chuckle, "My first name? My first name is...".
