//------------------------------// // Complitations // Story: Noble // by NightmareSoldier //------------------------------// Carrying the white Alicorn mare was like carrying a sack of 12Kg potatoes She was that light to me. Shifting that aside I kicked the hospital door open and was greeted by nurses and Doctor Ponies that just looked at me in sheer shock. I had literally ran to the nearest building with the medical cross on it while keeping the mare on me as stabilised as possible. In my haste however I had left the others galloping after me.To be honest I would rather not have a dead body on my armour. “One your Princesses got injured during a peace talk between herself and I. She needs medical attention immediately. I have preformed emergency CPR that is all I am authorised to do.” I said snapping them out of the annoying stare. Several of the unicorn Doctors combine their magic to wrap the unconscious Alicorn in a telekinesis grip. They gently lifted her out of my hands. As stupid as it sounds I went to follow them but was stopped by the Dark Blue smaller Alicorn, she placed herself in front of me. Wings outstretched and she held a defensive posture. Clearly it was ‘you shall not pass’ so I turned around while I reactivated my jetpack. Whirring and the screeching of the jets filled the hospital until I had stepped out of the doors. I was greeted by what appeared to be the press. I saw them raise their cameras just as I raised my M6G at each camera. There was at least 20 of them. I only had eight rounds in this clip. Choosing the furthest target I pulled the trigger, I felt the round get spat out of my handgun. The result was a shocked gasp from the paparazzi that held the camera. By the time they time to react I had depleted my clip to one round and had reloaded a fresh clip. (I knew for a fact that they could restock my ammo. They had magic surely they had a duplication spell that could replenish my ammunition.) I then started on the next set of my targets. Yet again I left one round in the magazine. “Hold your weapon!” I heard the Dark Blue Alicorn call from behind me. You know I really need to learn her name. I should activate my recognition system “Negative orders not recognised!” I called back not taking my gaze of the paparazzi. “You have ten seconds to lower your cameras! Or I will fire again!” I turned the threat to the paparazzi. Did I mention that I hate them? They were hesitant to obey the threat but they put their cameras onto the floor and made a run in every direction but mine. That was more like it. “My apologies your highness. I never liked the pests that call themselves the paparazzi. They were the reason why my wife is dead. I will never forgive them. Even in your realm. I never forget the emotional distress these bastards cause.” I said before the said Princess could speak. That was probably a crime in itself here but then I had no idea what was a crime here. Leaving her in suspension I turned to walk away and took ten spaces before stopping. “No need to thank me for getting you older sister here. I know what it is like to lose someone you hold so close to you. I have lost more than you think. In that lost, I have gained something. Something even I have to discover.” Then with that said I fired up my jetpack and slowly gained altitude. I stopped to take a peek back. Such a peaceful world, they do not deserve to experience what war is. If I can help I vow to only kill in self-defence. With that vow set in mind I turned back around using the tillers I use for flight control. I don’t know but I felt responsible for her injury. Well I did shoot her in return fire but the rounds were only rubber. Just goes to show how weak the wing frame can be. I suppose It was my fault after all, and I needed to apologise. Don’t ask me why. It is what my heart is saying. I am still surprised that I had one after the fighting I have seen. The fall of reach was one of them. I was sure I was the last Spartan-III three alive. I will never know that for certain now will I? Suppose not. It didn’t matter anyway I was more determined to watch over this peaceful place until my heart loses its spark. Despite me not liking this place Getting back to the hospital undetected was as easy as kicking a ball. I had activated the active camouflage module and flew through the window just as the wings folded in. I did a roll to spread the kinetic followed by getting up before I slammed into wall. Once I was up however I had to immediately use my fingers to stop my armour making contact with the wall. Let’s just say my helmet was a millimetre from touching the wall. Once I was sure I wasn’t going to hit anything I turned the active camouflage off. I heard a gasp of surprise just as it fully faded off. I turned and noticed none other than that white Alicorn pulling her bed covers a little higher with a slight blush. “You are fully aware I have noticed that your species walks around naked. In sense there is no need to be embarrassed.” I said not really paying much attention to anything. I hated hospitals. What I did notice was that the white Alicorn was lying on her back. Well more on her side. However I could hear hoof-steps coming from behind the door, and when it swung open none other than the younger sister and the other six mares standing at the door. I noticed Miss Sparkle standing at the front and she was the only one that smiled when she saw me. “I knew you would find another way in.” She said surprising all of us as she pretty much just ran towards me. Her front hooves make contact with my abdomen. She was looking up at me. It was kind of awkward having her like this. For one she was most intelligent one I have talked to. “I had a feeling we would find you here. After all you did seem like you wanted to stay.” “Is that so? Seems to me like you have more to say.” I said countering her rather quickly. She looked at me from the position she was in, her eyes were wide. I looked at the others through my visor. “I was expecting you lot to be here before me, clearly not.” “Its your fault my sister is in here!” Shouted the dark blue Alicorn. "She fired first! I merely returned fire! I follow a very simple code. Don’t fire unless fired upon!” I shouted back. “As for the paparazzi, they need to silenced before they start an uproar. That isn’t the point is it Luna!? No! You cannot accept the fact a random species just so happens to be slightly more intelligent that your own, happens to find himself in your world. I am just as fucking confused as you are. Did I ask to be here? No I didn’t! I broke her wing yes I will admit that but I fixed it didn’t I?” Luna seemed surprised that I just got her name out of thin air, truth to told I had integrated recognition system into my helmet, and it had identified her. “Not the point!” She growled back. Ok then she wants to play that, I have a card to play. “Fine you wish to be like that so be it! I will take my leave, but if you dare send any guards after me, or yet alone yourself, I will put a bullet that will slowly kill you! Then bullet by bullet I will watch you die!” I said playing that card I had mentioned. Miss Sparkle was already looking like she was about to explode into something. My armour rattled as the Jetpack’s wings were deploying. “If you don’t believe me I could have let your sister fall to her death. Did I?” I watched her shake her head. “Enough! I summoned you here ok! I was trying a new summoning spell for something powerful enough to help us. You may not know this but we are beginning to get into a war. I summoned you so you can help. I sensed that you were on the verge of death yourself…” Miss Sparkle was saying before I signalled her to stop for awhile. “Your enemy, what do they look like in one simple word.” I asked. “Insect.” She said. Now I she has me curious. “That and I have something I want you to see. It is branded UNSC just like your Armour.” “Show me please Miss Sparkle. Maybe we can find the nest and destroy it. Depending on what this object is.” I said getting inaudibly excited, if its YSS-1000 sabre I can end this war before it even starts. Miss Sparkle just gave me a sad look before looking at the Princess in the hospital. “Hang on a second, you are the one that summoned me, it is within your own right to show me. Technically my allegiance would be to you and to you alone. That’s what a read in a 400 year old book of spells. I didn’t believe what the book had to show though.” “Really your allegiance is with me? But I am not ready to lead into a battle.” She said while going into rant with herself. “I didn’t say lead into battle. What I meant was usually if something is summoned, that thing is bound by the spell that summoned it to do whatever the spell-caster says. But as I said that was off a book 400 year old book.” I said getting her out of the rant she was having with herself. Clearly she wasn’t the type to lead charge into war. That was a good thing. Now Miss Sparkle just looked at me with happy eyes. She gave a nod and gestured for me to follow. I engaged the active camouflage module while walking behind her. **** We walked out of the hospital door and I remained undetected the entire way out, but I had Luna on my six all the way through the hospital while Miss Sparkle just escorted me outside. Once she stopped and signalled me it was clear I turned the camouflage off. She asked if it would better if she teleported use both there as it would be quicker. At this stage I didn’t care what the hell was going on so I just nodded in agreement. She charged her horn with what I assumed was the teleportation spell. With a flash we were at the place where Miss Sparkle was talking about at the hospital. She walked slightly ahead while I took in the sheer fact my surrounds changed in a flash. I suppose it was like a gravity lift, but you felt yourself move with one of them. I did not feel myself move with the teleportation. Were I did feel slight sick after it, I didn’t felt like throwing the contents of my stomach onto the floor. Instead I began to follow Miss Sparkle. I was literally shocked at myself for not seeing this. Right before us was a Sabre launch facility. Hopefully it has a YSS-1000 Sabre. Correction the none existent Sabre program to which I was not a pilot of one. I am full of surprises. Never mind that I walked up the access door. The facility still had power. Thank the lord. I pushed the buttons corresponding to my access codes. The doors hissed before they opened. From behind me I heard multiple gasps. “Welcome to the none existent Sabre launch facility. This will be the first and the last time you will see this base. Unless I choose to serve alongside Miss Sparkle than this launch facility will become my base of operations. Do I make myself clear? If any of you even try to access the top secret research the base will lock you out of its systems, and lock you inside and may attempt to terminate you. As long as if you stay near me, the base will not deem you as a target.” I said warning them once. To my amusement I saw them all dash to my feet. Ok then. Princess Luna was a bit hesitant at following until a gauss cannon lowered came out the ground. She could use magic, why didn’t she just rip it off? “How many more of these are there?” She asked as I told the turret to stand down. “It’s a highly classified facility what do you expect us to do? Allow our enemy to walk through the doors and greet them with open arms?” I answered back with sarcasm. She didn’t like that one bit. She gave me a death stare to which I just ignored. Instead I began to lead the group of mares I into the Sabre facility with my DMR loaded. I was aiming it down the hallway using the emergency lights to detect shadows of what could be a target. I didn’t even stop moving, I kept pushing forward, sitting in one place for too long wasn’t my idea of fun. “Looks like the main power is out in some areas.” “What should we do about that?” Miss Sparkle asked while she lit up the hallway we were in. While the glow was purple it provided more than enough light for us to slowly progress through the darkened hallway of the facility. “We can go straight to the facility’s generator or pray to the lord that the main console has more than enough power to boot it up. Otherwise we may have problems. Some doors lock during a Red Alert. Let us hope that this facility wasn’t attacked.” I said while my armoured boots thudded off of the metallic floor of the building. Even the Princess’s hoof steps could be hard making just as much noise as my boots. My motion tracker had picked up enemy movement. “Your Highness know you hate me by now, but we must work as a team here. I have picked up enemy forces. Five at least. If I can kill three, you can kill the remaining two.” “Fine. Thou best now what you are doing.” She said. She is hard to impress once you somehow piss her off. I had to bring us all to a halt once we reached a ‘T’ junction in the facility. I crouched down to maximise my armour protection, after all SPARTAN-III had less armour when compared to a SPARTAN-II. We didn’t have as much physical augmentation either. In my opinion it was more than enough. “Listen carefully all of you. If the Covenant are still in this facility they will not hesitate to kill you. Stay near me and use what you can to shield yourselves from Plasma fire. Or if you can assist me in bringing the intruders down… Wait the power is down in this area. There is at least fifty ceiling mounted machine guns.” I said and realised that there was a much quicker option. If Luna was willing to comply, she could restore power the turret mainframe which was conveniently to her left. She could get the guns firing at the targets. I stood up and quietly took the cover off the control panel. “Could you create a spark that is just enough to send an electrical pulse to reactive the guns?” To my surprise she nodded and did what I asked her. Within seconds of whatever she did, the sound of mechanical whirring filled our sector. Alarms began to blare, and I had pulled the mares closer and declared that if they are near me the system will classify them as friendly if they show no threat. They listened to my order. While the alarm still blare, gunfire was the only thing we heard over the alarms. I mean those guns were deadly even the sound of them was enough to scare the shit out of anything. I could even here the empty shells hitting the floor with loud clanks. The red dots on my motion tracker started vanished. What was five targets soon began none really quickly. The gunfire soon stopped. “Right, stay close to me and identify yourselves if the guns aim at you. They can recognise non threatening postures, so try not to be threatening. I would hate to see those guns rip you apart.”I said as I walked around the corner first to make sure the guns wouldn’t target a Spartan. Luckily they didn’t so I called the mares to follow me, and they did. The turrets didn’t mind them but the mares eyed them hoping they wouldn’t fire. Once we reached the control room where we saw a Sabre docked in vertical position. Its rocket boosters were still on. It wasn’t launched. The mares looked at through the control rooms window, the look of awe on their faces. That was my first reaction when seeing one of those magnificentmachines. “Who wants to be the lucky mare that gets to ride inside that thing, and see the stars?” I asked as type the access code that I was giving many years ago way before Reach began to fall. When I had turned around they all gave me a confused look. “Yes that thing can pretty much get you to the moon and back. It’s a space fighter. Its designed to move in the vacuum of space.” “Perhaps Princess Luna should go after all she controls the stars and the moon.” Miss Sparkle said and got a death stare of the Princess. “So its decided. Mount up your highness. We take off now. The rest of you try to restore power to the system if you can. Me and your Princess are going to scout for this enemy of yours. Miss Sparkle you quite smart, tell the entire facility to reboot, that should solve some of the issues.” I said while leading the night Princess to the Sabre. I had to lead her through a set of blast doors that took us directly to the Sabre. We climbed the stairway leading us the Sabre. By the time I had reached the top. The Night Princess was standing still with her ears pinned back. Her eyes were wide and she just looked at the machine. “Scared your highness? Come on she doesn’t bite.” I said humorously. That got her to move but it was only her head. “It’s so big.” She said. Now I could have inserted a dick joke there, but I didn’t I was being easy so I didn’t piss her off. “That’s because it has rocket boosters. They will come off during the flight upwards to the moon. Then we rely on the Sabre’s engines to do their job to get us into position so we can do aerial surveillance.” I said in hope to get her moving. Itdidn’t work. She remained still while looking at the massive fighter-craft. “If I have to carry up there so be it I will. Every second you waste basking in its glory, you give the enemy time to grow stronger.” “Neigh, I can myself up there. Which seat?” Luna asked looking at the pilot and co-pilot/navigator seats. I pointed out her seat and I began climbing on the hull of the Sabre to get to my seat. By the time I had gotten into seat. Luna had already got herself into the co-pilot seat. She strapped herself in and made sure it was tight. I mentally measured her horn and if it would counter the cockpit canopy closing. Luckily no but she if was her older sisters size then there would have been issues. Once I actually got into the Sabre I activated the engine sequence.. “Struts disengaged, commencing launch in T-minus 5…. 4…. 3…. 2…. 1. Launch set.” Chimed the facility’s systems just as the Sabres rocket boosters blew Into life. The craft violently shook as it was guided up a pole to keep it vertical. Once the pole ended so did the violent shaking. I activated the Radio. “This is Sierra 2-2-7 checking in. Do you copy?” I said into the radio. Static greeted me back before I realised that I had left a group of mares down there. I hope they didn’t get the place to lock itself down. Or worst blow itself up with them in it. “Sabre launch facility reporting into Sierra 2-2-7 we read you loud and clear. Continue your current course to 100,000 feet.” Said Miss Sparkle from the base. I laughed in amazement at how fast she learned to get the radio working. “The systems down here are displaying that you are heading to the outer atmo…atmosphere. What in Celestia’s name is that?” “Are you getting a video being sent by the Sabre?” “Yes, it’s showing clearly. Why?” She asked. “We will pass the Atmosphere shortly. Then you will know what it is. For now hold tight.” I said down the mic. I risked looking back to get a glimpse of Luna looking like she has just seen hell. I switched the radio so that I can communicate with her without having to turn around. “You alright back there Princess? You look like you have seen hell.” “Yes. I am fine. Just focus on keeping us level. I prefer flying straight. I had a guard punished for not flying my carriage straight.” She said. She punished her guards for not flying her straight? Damn that is a bit crazy. Well she will have to put up with it if I have preform evasive manoeuvres. “Don’t think about testing us. I will have you punished. I will be relentless if you try to test us.” “Ma’am I respect the fact you hate bumpy flights. But if we come under hostile fire, I will have to follow protocol and abandon safe flight. At the end of the day, I need to keep us both alive. I can only do that if I do manoeuvres.” I said countering her ‘punishing’ claim. That’s when an idea to tease her came Into mind. “Besides whatever you do to me, I will do it back to you. You seem like the type of girl that is Into that thing. Oops I think I stepped that line.” I said jokingly. “Thou doesn’t know how to please us.” Luna said in an almost identical tone as mine. I believe she was playing along just to save arguing against me. Alas me being me, I had one more trick up my metal sleeve. “Its not what your sister said in the Hospital.” I said. Now this was defiantly a joke. There is no fucking way I can get this armour off and then back on. Not unless you went to that machine that done it. I could hear Luna shuffling around in the seat behind me. I think I ruffled her feathers. “Is that so? My sister is much easier than I am.” Luna said. I burst into laughter. “Ouch, I feel sorry for your sister now. I thought sisters are meant to enjoy each other’s company. Or are not that kind of sister?” I said while I focused on watching the approaching stars as my Sabre drew nearer to 100,000 feet. That altitude was being gained fast. What was to be expected? This was the finest fighter in the UNSC’s arsenal in my opinion. Twin 30mm Auto cannons and missiles launchers to which I have forgotten the name off. God was on my side. Even though I was no longer on his planet. “My Sister and I are quite close. I am just harder to woe. Nothing in Equestria interests me. Not even the Stallions seem interesting to me…” “I am sorry your highness for interrupting. I have to say this. Looking for love is not Nature’s way. Nature wants us to find love but not seek it unless she plans. All I am trying to say is. From what I know with limited Knowledge is that you and your have a longer life expectancy right? Think about it. You have all this time on your hooves. All I am saying don’t make the mistake of finding the wrong one. For allI care you could be into females but that I don’t know. Just save your heart the heartbreak and let love come to you. After all why rush when you have all the time in the world?” I said saying a bit too much I had planned for. I found a reflection of Luna on the canopy window just -45° of my central vision on the instruments. She was sitting their quietly as she took in the opinion. To my believe I hope she would talk again. “As I said your majesty. That is an opinion.” “No, I have considered it. You are right. We should wait until We find the right one for us. After all we want our love to be perfect.” Luna said surprising me. She talked in a weird but understandable tone, something that is hard used to. Nevertheless I am happy she has decidedto play the wait game so she finds the right one for her. “How would you who the perfect one is?” I recoiled at her question but regained composure Just as the Sabre suddenly seem to stop. “Commencing stage separation.” Chimed the Sabre’s computer. Multiple gas hisses came from the back of the Sabre. Something was ejecting itself off the Spacecraft. I know clearly what it was. It was none other than the rocket booster system being launched off the Sabre. Now I fired up the Spacecraft’s engine, I heard them whine as they began to whir into life as we slowly got pulled back to the planet as planned. “I haven’t the foggiest idea ma’am what you look for in a guy. My advice would be to host dates if you ever find a Stallion or Mare that you are into.” I said giving her my honest opinion on what she could do, but I knew that she was the co-ruler of the planet that we just left behind us. To which the Sabre now jolted as the engines fired into life. They propelled use to the moon. However half way to it I forced the Sabre to abandon the flight plan and head at an angle to where Miss Sparkle had last sighted the intended Targets. Once I had the planet and the Sabre in the correct approach angle I pushed my throttle forwardas far as it would let me. “I shall use your advice then Spartan. We shall see if this works.” Luna said coming to answer my advice. To be honest I really didn’t want to mentally or physically harm these equines. Lucky I have kept to that promise. I sensed something else that was bugging her. “But who would want me after the crime I did 1,000 years ago? I am still called Nightmare Moon by many of my subjects. Who are we to say that they shouldn’t?” She started to sob after that for the reasons I knew were unknown. “For all I know about your kind is the fact you and your sister seem to be immortal. So what if you are not looking for a stallion or mare but the love from your sister. Nothing is more powerful than love. It can blind us and can cause us great harm if misused. Something which makes me stay clear from love.” I said trying to comfort her to the best of my soldier knowledge. I couldn’t take my attention off the planet as our Sabre was threatening to cut into its atmosphere. Flames already began to kiss the Sabre’s nose as we already began to reenter. Now it was only a matter of time before I can take full fighter control of this aircraft. Hopefully my words would give hope to Luna. “Thank you. For giving me those kind words. Despite us hating one another.” She said out of the blue. Surprising me slightly. “Who said that I hated you? I despise the decisions and the rapid jump to conclusions that you make before assessing the situation.” I said in all honesty to her after all I couldn’t get away from her. “Jumping straight into the hornets’ nest is not the best way to get yourself killed. Jumping feet first into hell is going to kill you faster.” She seemed to chuckle at the compliment. If it was a laugh I was impressed with myself, but I could still feel a metaphorical chill coming off her. However I was brought to the attention of my Sabre’s instruments. The atmospheric insertion was about to go full swing. I had to throttle back slightly so it matched the speed the computer was telling me to have it at. We heard the Sabre’s engines whine slightly before continuing to roar as it propelled my Sabre through the Atmosphere. It truly was a beautiful sight to behold; it was the prettiest thing I have seen all day. “It is truly magnificent up here. I would have put more effort into my night, if known we would have being doing this. I didn’t know Equestria could get any more…” “Caution shield systems failing. Atmospheric heat damaging systems. Major system failure detected. Systems failing, engine failure, engine failure. Engine overheat detected, multiple system failures.” Chimed the Sabre’s computer. I cursed with all my might as I pulled the aircraft/spacecraft off its course. Luckily we were in the atmosphere. So if it decided to stall, I had plenty of time to try to regain control. Not that I was thinking about it but I had a feeling that we would end up stalling at some point. I just had to be careful with this stupid piece of flying scrap. I called it that because it chooses to fail at the point of re-entry. Something I wasn’t happy about. Even Luna was in a state of panic but she was doing a great poker face expression. However I could tell she wasn’t enjoying the plummet. Did I forget to mention that we now had began to plummet in a half arsed vertical line? No? Well now you do know. Yes we were plummeting in a half-arsed vertical line to which I could pull us out off with ease. Well that’s if the fucking joystick would work. It too was having a ‘fuck you’ moment as I attempted to beat the shit out of it, while trying not to snap it. To my luck it actually freed up and I could now pull us out of the dive. (Much to Luna’s pleasure as she didn’t seem like the sheer drop.) I managed to get us level (kind of) and got the Sabre at a decent altitude during the dive. From atmosphere we had dropped to 25,000 feet and still steadily decreasing altitude. “How long before we can land?” I heard Luna ask unsteadily. Something was off with her voice after that decent. I think I actually scared the wits out of her. Not that I was planning on asking her, for I had a Sabre to keep under control. “For the landing your highness that would be soon, at least 15 minutes by my calculation. That’s if we don’t blow up.” I said promoting her to gasp in horror. Well that is what I thought she did. But then she could just teleport out of the Sabre. Unless her magic relies on her being completely calm. That I don’t know. So I concentrated on trying to pull the Sabre up with its crippled system. It wasn’t easy but the Sabre didn’t want to respond either. I would doom us both if I were to pull the ejection system now. In order to do that I would to wait until the Sabre reached 10,000 feet, minimum 5,000 feet. That all comes down if the ejection works. If not well she is screwed. Not to be mean or over-confident in my Armour but I can make the armour ‘lock’ to increase my chances of surviving the crash. I don’t see any way of the Princess Surviving this. I had to keep her alive. I don’t want her older sister ranting that I got her killed. Besides if I am to kill to her, it wouldn’t be quietly. I tend to leave a mess in my wake. **** I watched as the ground got closer and closer. The G-force was causing the Sabre’s controls to shake all over the place. Even I struggled to keep it under control the aircraft refused to obey, and I knew I would have to pull our ejection levers. But I had to time it right at this velocity, otherwise the chutes may fail to deploy. It didn’t matter much for me I could survive the fall with a bit of luck. To be honest it looked like it was coming to that, we could see the ground get too close and by now I had just flown into the city. Fuck! That was bad news for both of us. For one I had now lost control over the damaged Sabre. Two the engines had now failed as did the airbrakes. At this point all I could think of doing at this point was to eject from the aircraft. It may crash into a building but that is better than killing one of the Princesses of this world. Thankfully the collision detection system started going off and only caused the Princess in front me to start panicking even more. What is with horses getting scared at the slightest thing? “Your highness, there is nothing else I can do now, I have control over this bird. We have to eject now! I am leaving you no choice I am pulling the ejecting lever now!” I shouted down our open onboard radio. I noticed that she braced herself for whatever it was that would follow what I said. So without wasting more time I pulled the ejection lever. Immediately the cock-pit hatch launched off. Cold air came blistering in and probably ripped the air from the Princesses lungs. Seconds followed and both our seats were shot out of the burning wreck of the Sabre as it plummeted out of the sky, and I had actually ejected us a bit too late. My suit was still integrated with the Sabre’s systems so I had the altitude displayed. It was 1,000 feet and dropping rapidly. I had a fifty-fifty chance of getting up after the fall, I doubt that she could, but then I remembered that she was wings, she could just flew her way out of this. Oh, and she seemed to remember that she had them. She opened her wings and to my surprise the sheer drop we were in didn’t rip them off. Lucky bitch; Nevertheless I watched my Sabre hurl itself into the building ahead of it. With a bright red-orange explosion the Sabre erupted into flames and vanished into the building. I landed with a thud and fall out the chair. Instead of following my instincts to curl up into a ball, I went ragdoll instead. I could feel my body be tossed around the ground like I was the lord’s puppet. I could hear voices of mixed horror and amazement. It was probably for Luna being safe despite having a burning building in the area. Couldn’t magic solve shit? When I came to a stop I immediately looked at my shield monitor. It was flashing red and my health monitoring was also in the red. Believe me when I say this, my rips were in agony on my left side, probably because it was the side I was rolling on the most. My damaged thigh was tough to move but with some heavy effort I could get moving. However when I got up I was faced with Luna and a few guards. Spears pointed at me. I laughed and this surprised the crowd. “Are really going to back-stab me after I showed you the stars? Some thank you that is. What’s worst I saved your sister from falling to her death, and this is how you repay me? Fine, I see how it is. Kill the guy that has no fucking clue where the fuck he is and just wants to go home! I had that fucking chance with that fucking Sabre. But no, I fucking wasted it on you!” I actually pointed at her and spat in anger. “Because of that I can’t visit my daughter’s grave. Some fucking kind person you are! Now I see why that relationship with your sister isn’t a good one.” One of the guards recoiled. So they do have emotion.
