Wu looked around Sweet Apple Acres, looking for a spot which he could use as a training ground since Princess Twilight has informed him that he could not exit Ponyvile unless it was an emergency as a precaution. Wu understands but at the same time, if he doesn't find a nice cave or something as a hidden base, the Rinshi will be bee-lining for Ponyvile. That is if they have some competent trackers.
Unable to find a nice training spot within Sweet Apple Acres and kinda stuck within Ponyvile, Wu decided to travel into Ponyvile and secure himself some lodging. At first, Wu though he could approach Princess Twilight to help secure a home, but looking at how tired she is and how many of the REF lieutenants keep bugging her, he decided otherwise. Before Wu could walk away, Spike the dragon returned and walked to Wu.
"Hey Mr Zhuge, I got a message for you from the Princesses in Canterlot. Also I'll be your guide here in Ponyvile for the time being."
"Firstly, it's Wu. Mr Zhuge would be my dad," said Wu waving a finger," Secondly, I would appreciate a guide, particularly to talk on my behalf is possible. I'm pretty sure most of the Ponyvilians would be... er tense with my presence."
"Sure, no problem Wu. Let me know when you want to leave and I'll lead you back to Ponyvile for now, here is your letter."
Wu took the scroll and watch Spike hobble to Twilight and started to talk to her. He did notice that some of the REF lieutenants were glaring at him, although one was looking at him with shining eyes. Shrugging, Wu opened the scroll and started reading.
Dear Mr Zhuge Yie Wu, Mystic Fist Master
From what Twilight has relayed the information that you have provided, we, Princess Celestia De Equestria Sol of Canterlot, Princess Luna De Equestria Selene of Canterlot and Princess Mi Amore Cadenza (Cadance) of the Crystal Empire have convinced and have decided to give you Equestria Citizenship and a temporary military commission. Your Rank hence forth, until the emergency is over, is of Captain. And you are tasked with the elimination of these Three Fist Demons and their forces.
You may complete your task with whatever resources at your disposal however, it has been made known to us that you are going to teach Princess Chysalis of the Changeling Hives your 'arts' and become your ally. We would advice caution about trusting the Changeling.
Keep us posted of your progress.
Sincerely,
Her Royal Highness, Princess Celestia De Equestria Sol of Canterlot
Wu read though the letter again before folding it and pocketing it before returning to where Princess Twilight and Spike were. As he approached them, two of the lieutenants blocked him.
"Where do you think your going?" said one of the REF Lieutenants while holding out his mace," Princess Twilight is busy, so why don't you take your monstrous ass out of here before me and my friend here have to talk drastic measures eh?"
"If I want to speak to Princess Twilight, I will speak with her. After all I need to inform her that Princess Celestia has given me a military commission, Captain if your wondering. So as your superior officer, I ask you to step aside."
"Or else what mate?" said the other REF Lieutenant," I don't take orders fr-"
"What seems to be the problem?" asked Princess Twilight, butting into the conversation.
"Ah good, makes my life easier," said Wu who took the chance to push the two REF Lieutenants aside," Spike gave me a letter which states that I'm now a military rank of Captain. I'm tasked with fighting the Three Fist Demons and to use whatever resources I can. So you mind if I borrow Spike for a while? I need him to guide me around Ponyvile."
"Of course, Spike said he volunteered earlier. So Captain huh. Well that should be fine I guess. I'll assign a lieutenant to you later ok?"
"That would be wonderful Princess."
*****
Wu followed Spike as he introduced the town to Wu, all the while showing off the town. After a while, WU asked if they could go and visit Fleur and Chrysalis, hat and figure out where the hospital is.
"Sure Wu, but the hospital is actually out of town. Once the order from Princess Celestia, Twilight had as much of the Hospital's gear and medicine moved into town."
"I see. So you have a field hospital set up them?"
"Yup, Fleur and Chrysalis would be in one of the tents. Although I was wondering...."
"What's up?"
"Why do you want to teach Fleur and Chrysalis your martial arts?"
"Well for Chrysalis is an easy answer. Apparently the Rinshi found out that if you feed Ringi into a changeling, they become very, very strong. In all honestly, I want to see what would happen if I taught her how to harness Geki or Ringi and what effect it would have on her. I've been told that she took on 3 RinRinshi and 52 Rinshi before she ran out of energy. So having a warrior of that strength would help turn the tide. For Fleur... well I can understand what it's like being at the mercy of circumstances. The ability to fight back, can help her a lot more than just giving us another competent fighter."
"Basically, all complicated stuff that I don't really understand well expect for teaching Chrysalis part, there are comics out there where the hero is pure streght although Twilight doesn't let me read them yet," said Spike as he rubbed his head," Well we are almost there."
"Don't worry Spike, and I'm pretty sure you will be mature enough for those books soon."
"Hey can I ask another question?"
"Ask away Spike."
"Can anyone learn what you are going to teach Chrysalis and Fleur?"
"....technically I don't know, in the world where this 'arts' come from, only those with a certain alignment and commitment can use these 'arts.' That said I don't know the rules of this world to be able to know if just anyone can learn the 'arts'."
Spike nodded his head as they passed by a number of supply distribution stations where some ponies were lining up for their daily rations.
"So low on supplies eh?"
"Not really, just making sure it lasts you know? Although not everyone is happy with the situation."
At that moment, two REF guardsponies flew though the air after being slugged by a large sausage.
"Ah so this is where you weak morsels were hiding all your food! This would do well as an appraiser before my main course oink oink oink oink!" laughed a walking bi-peddled pig carrying a chain of sausages that ends with a cage with three foals in it.
"Mommy help me!" shouted a small grey unicorn foal as she banged the cage with her fist.
"We are so dead.... so dead..." rocked a grey foal with glasses.
"Shut it Silver! Wait until Rainbow Dash get her hands on you stupid pig!" yelled a yellow pegasus.
"Oink oink oink oink! Don't worry my little morsels, you'll be in my belly soon enough. These adults of yours don't even dent the fat on my be-gefuh!"
Wu had rushed towards the gluttonous pig and had rammed him while he was gloating. The Pig RinRinshi stumbled backwards a bit before looking at his assailant. Meanwhile the REF guardsponies had started to rush the ponies away from the fight, with a grey pegasus mare being held back by a REF Lieutenant who was yelling for her muffin.
"Looks like I don't even have time to rest before being set to work," said Wu as he cracked his knuckles," An on a Pig Beast-Fist user too."
"OINK! So its the traitor eh? How dare you betray our masters!" The Pig RinRinshi stood and unhooking the cage from his chain of sausages.
"I am a master of myself," said Wu as he saluted with his fist across his chest before going into fighting stance.
"And I am a master of eating! And your on the men-gehel!" shouted the Pig RinRInshi and he got a boot the to face.
Wu stepped back from his kick while the REF guardsponies ushered the crowd towards safezones while a few braver soildered attempted to dash and grab the cage. Tabu noticing this while still rubbing his cheeks summoned a few Rinshi warriors to gaurd the cage and attack Wu.
"Let's see if you are strong enough for to be the main course!"
The Rinshi warriors banished their spears at Wu who stepped sided and used his arms to push and strike every trust of the Rinshi. Spike watched as the strange man flowed like water though the attacks before channeling a strange golden energy though his body. Taking the form of the wolf, Wu shouted his technique ," Gekijū Urufuken Gekiwaza - Rin Rin Ken! (Fierce Beast Wolf-Fist Gekiwaza - Whieel Wheel Fist)" which allowed him to channel the Geki energy into a series of uppercuts and finally forming a wheel or energy into a group of Rinshi. As the enemy Rinshi exploded, Tabu was completely shocked.
"YOU ARE RINSHI! H-how are you able to use Geki without being destroyed! Just who are you?!"
"I am Zhuge Yie Wu, Master of the Mystic Fist sect. Rinjū Raionken Ringi - Resshūken! (Confrontation Beast Lion-Fist Ringi - Violent Kick Fist) "
Wu soared though the air and landed the heavy RIngi filled blow onto Tabu who reeled back in pain. Tabu weaken but not discourage from getting his meal swug his sausage weapon at Wu who stepside the blow. He whoever walked right into the group of Rinshi who were guarding the cage. The Rinshi there started to attack Wu by wilding swing their spears,for it seems these Rinshi were even newer that the ones he fought earlier. However due to the present of the cage, Wu could not let the Rinshi hit the cage and accidentally hurt the young ones. Pushing the cage back with a blow, he had forced all the Rinshi to his front and allowed them to trike at his body.
"HAHAHAHA looks like your all talk oh Mystic Fist!" laughed Tabu with a mocking tone."
Wu continued to allow the RInshi to stike at him while he inhaled some air before using a unique Genji," Genjū Kimeraken Genji - Kimerafōsufīdobakku! (Mythical Beast Chimera-Fist Genji - Chimera Force Feedback) " This allowed Wu to send all the damaged dealt to him back to his attackers in the form of bright energy. The Rinshi burst with sparks before falling and dissipating.
"Wh-Wh-Wh-WHAT!!! You... you can use Genji! Impressive.... Fine! I'll go and raid the pantry later tonight but for now his little piggy has to go home!" shouted Tabu before running off.
"Come back here you coward!" shouted Wu," Or at the very least have the decency to drop the bloody cage door key before running away!"
The REF forces watched as the RinRinshi ran away from the confrontation. This was their (technically) first victory and immediately started to get to work to free the young Equestrains from the cage. Wu walked away from the confrontation and continued towards the field hospital with Spike in tow.
"THAT WAS AWESOME!" shouted Spike as he showed Wu the way to the Field Hospital," Could you teach me all that stuff? I mean that is Twilig-"
"Sorry Spike, but I can't teach you. Mostly because dragons have their own strengths after all, some thing that i think Geki, Ringi and Genji can not replicate."
"Oh.... ok then." sighed Spike as they made their way.
