//------------------------------// // Chapter 3: The Wedding // Story: I am Rhino Prime // by Twilight Archon //------------------------------// Chapter 3:The wedding. The next day came and the sun shone through the window on my face. I slowly woke up and noticed the time was 06:30 in the morning. ‘Fish sticks only got 30 minutes before I have to be there.’ I thought to myself. So I decided to take a quick shower but I was halfway done I heard knocking. “Yes! who’s there?”I asked. “It’s Princess Celestia, may I come in?” She asked. I quickly finished taking a shower, and walked into my room. “Sure, Please come in.” I replied with that she entered. “So what can I do for you Princess?” I asked. “I just want to see if you were awake.” Princess Celestia asked. I gave a small chuckle to that “Princess you do not need to worry about me I will be there, but I hope that’s not the only reason why you came here?.” I asked. ‘Sigh’ “Yes you're right I came here to inform you that I will also be introducing you to the population right after the wedding.” She said. “That is perfectly fine with me the faster I can gain the trust of the population the quicker I can get things done!” I said excitedly. “I’m glad that you're excited but what do you want to get done?” She asked. “Oh I would like to build my own dojo which is actually my home and many other things I need to plan” I replied. “Alright but I have to think about it after the wedding.” She said with skepticism. “It’s all right but we need to head to the throne room so the wedding can start on time.” I replied as I headed towards the throne room where the wedding will be held. “Yes I agree, let’s go.” Princess Celestia said as she followed me. The trip towards the throne room was mostly quiet, except for the few questions Celestia asked. Naturally I answered them unless if it anything about the void. I also remembered to equip my Syandana and my armor set. When we entered we got to our positions and did two more rehearsals. The second ended just in time as it was almost time. All the different ponies going to attend the wedding went to their spots at the sides of the room, While they did so I got stares. There was a few minutes of silence then the bells started to ring and the groom standing up here acting weird. The doors sprung up revealing three fillies skipping along the red carpet followed later by Princess Cadence herself. After Princess Celestia asked the groom and bride a few questions, the two lucky ponies were about to say ‘I do’ as the door swung open. Revealing Twilight shouting stop and followed by the real Cadence. She started to explain why she was the real one and the one on the stage is an impostor. The one on the staged revealed herself and explained her evil plan. Princess Celestia took actions and shot a beam at the changeling queen called Chrysalis. It was met by Chrysalis own beam then started to loose but the unexpected thing happened. The beam started pushing Celestia’s back and met her horn and sent Celestia flying and harming her greatly. I saw this was my time to take actions when I saw the changeling queen beat Celestia. So I got my Boltor out and fired a few shots at her. It missed her, immediately she teleported out of the way and ended up behind me and blasted me in the back sending me flying and taking two hundred shield strength away from my shields. 'If she’s gonna bombard me with beams, I’m going to use my abilities but not my fourth ability Rhino Stomp which will level the whole place as I have my strength build on right now, so I’ll stick with the other three abilities.’ And of course she did bombard me with lasers so I casted my iron skin while I get covered in golden armor that absorbed the blast for 3 secs and adding them to my iron skin for 30k extra armor health. With the two strength mods increasing the heath up to 6k added to the 7 armor multiplier increases it to 42k with the extra 30k from Chrysalis adds up to 72k armor health for my iron skin. Having only used 150 energy thanks to my blind rage mod which decreases my power efficiency ending up with 250 energy left. As my shields regenerated, like I need them now I switched for my Anku and noticed the six elements are missing and a pile of dresses on the floor so I got worried, but I need to deal with the queen first. I used my charge ability to strike Chrysalis and caught her off guard at my sudden change in speed sending her flying off the stage and slamming into a wall before sliding down, shortly after she got up and pissed at me. “HOW DARE YOU ATTACK THE QUEEN OF EQUESTRIA !” she shouted at me. “You're not queen yet bug” I replied and ran towards her causing her to shoot beams at me to no avail. “What is this, how are you not being hurt!?” She asked stunned. “I have a formidable defense bug.” I replied as I swung my scythe at her. She barely dodged in time and resulted with a cut to her left leg. “Arrrg!!” She screamed “Buck you alien monster!” She shouted as she stood with a bleeding leg. She launched herself at me open mouth and fangs out ready to bite me. I raised my arm to get her to bite my arm instead ended up with her fangs braking off. “Arrgg!!!” “mphahh!!” She tried to say as her mouth was filled with green blood. “Have a good night sleep.” I said when I knocked her out. While I did that the main six entered captured by two changelings. “My queen look...” A changeling guard was going to say something else before he saw her queen motionless on the floor. “What did you do to our queen?” They asked. “Same things are going to happen to you.” I said as I cast roar and roared in the air sending out sound waves giving a buff to all the guards, elements princesses and myself. Dropping energy pod giving me enough energy to charge the changelings so that's what I did. Hitting them both so hard they died immediately as they disintegrated into nothing. Looking at the elements I saw they are tied up. “Rhino Prime is that you” Twilight Sparkle asked shocked. I nodded and started to untie their bindings. In the mean time I finished untying Fluttershy, more changelings arrived. I grabbed my Boltor and started taking them down with two bolts to the chest and some head shots killing them instantly. The main six went free all the guards that have been captured and Princess Cadence as well. I didn’t see the whole thing so I couldn’t tell you what happened. As I continued shooting at all the changelings that arrived I felt something go over me and restoring my energy which turned out to be a pink barrier of some sort. As it hit the changelings and the changelings corpses including Chrysalis were sent flying away, ‘looks like the fight’s over better see to the princesses.’ I thought. I got near the main six who were chatting with Princess Cadence and her groom while I got close enough they all turned towards me. Princess Cadence’s groom thinking that I was a monster trying to take over Canterlot prepared a beam spell. “Wait! He helped us defeat the changelings” Twilight shouted before they could do something foolish. “Wait he did?” The stallion asked. “Yes He did, we found him yesterday extremely hurt so we helped him. He helped us here so he paid his debt off I think” Twilight Sparkle said with speculation as she looked at me. “No I didn’t I only payed half of the debt I owed you six and Princess Celestia.” I replied. “Oh okay, oh maybe I forgot to check on Princess Celestia.” Twilight said as she ran over to check on Princess Celestia. “May I ask who you are? and what you are?” The stallion asked. “I am Rhino Prime, I am a Tenno and may I also ask who are you?” I replied as I deactivate my Iron Skin and roar running out. “I’m Shining Armor Captain of the Royal Guard.” Shining armor replied. I was about to reply but was cut short by Celestia as she came over. “Thank you Rhino Prime for fending off the changelings and saving my country.” She said. I noticed that she has some bruises as she talked to me. “You're very welcome but are you going to be alright?” I asked. “I’m going to be fine a good night’s rest will do just fine.” She said. “If you say so.” I replied getting rid of all my concerns for now. Princess Celestia went and stood above the stage and said “It’s been a long day for all of us the wedding will resume again tomorrow at the same time but we all earned a good night's rest, farewell my little ponies.” She said. Every pony went except for the guards, Princesses, the elements and me. “You were so awesome!” Rainbow dash shouted as she flew towards my face. “Like how you roared and charged those disgusting bugs!” She said. “Umm Thanks…” I replied and creeped out. “Oh Oh Oh I like how you were covered in gold before you were so shiny!” Pinkie Pie said. “Thanks…” I said as I look at Princess Celestia who gave chuckle. “Well I think it’s best if we all go and rest for tomorrow.” Princess Celestia said. “Alright!” The elements replied in unison as they left. “Thank you Princess but I will take my leave” I replied. “You're welcome” She said as I started to leave. When I came out the door I was stopped by Twilight Sparkle. “Um Rhino Prime I would like to ask you a few questions.” Twilight Sparkle spoke. “Sure what would you like to know?” I asked. “It’s that you were covered in gold before and now you aren’t same goes with the sudden change in your speed for several secs as you charged those changelings, how are you able to do those things?” She asked. “I have 4 special abilities three of them I used today the first was Charge which is what it’s sounds like I’ll just charge the enemy if I hit them deal massive amounts to them and having a chance of disintegrating them. Second is Iron Skin which insulates me from taking damage until it’s worn out from constant battering or I dispel it. My third Roar is very simple I’ll roar sending energy wave which gives a damage boost to me and my allies in an area. And last called Stomp I’ll stomp the ground causing a large area around me to shatter if any hostile force are caught in this area will be lifted up staying there for a while while receiving gigantic amounts of damage, but if the so called hostile forces are weak enough they will immediately die from the shock wave.” I explained as I noticed she had a notepad out which she was holding. “Wow interesting… you sure do know how to fight, anyway thank you for your time.” She replied. “You're welcome but I will be needing some rest goodnight.” I said turning to head back to my quarters. “Good night!” Twilight shouted after me. I reached my room I locked the door and visited the lucid dream world. The next day I awoke at 6 a.m. and did my morning routine. After I finished I went to the throne room and got into my position and awaited for the wedding to begin. So it did and everyone seemed to have rested well. Every thing went like yesterday except for the battle with Queen Chrysalis and soon came my introduction. “I thank you all for attending but before we can go on to the party there is someone I would like to introduce he calls himself Rhino Prime. Rhino Prime would you like to say a few words.” Princess Celestia introduced me. Walking up next to Princess Celestia “Thank you Princess, yes my name is Rhino Prime I’m a Tenno a master of gun and sword. I am one out of 39 different Warframes out there but there are many of us.” I spoke. I heard some murmurs about me while I returned to my position. “Thank you Rhino Prime now let the party begin.” Princess Celestia said. Every pony left the throne room and went down to the gardens (including me). The music started when we all were here. I heard a female voice saying “Don’t touch that it’s a sword!” I heard those words I immediately went in that direction. Seeing a mare which is a pegasus with a young colt looking at the Broken War and the other pieces from the war. I came closer until they noticed me and started to back away in fear. “No need to be afraid Miss, I mean you no harm but I overheard your conversation about this sword.” I said pointing to the broken sword that laid on the ground. “A-alright it’s just you look so frightening.” She said. I gave a chuckle before I spoke “It’s ok I get that a lot because I’m a warrior that is meant to strike fear into the enemy’s heart whenever they see me coming, but if you get to know me I'm a nice guy. By the way my name is Rhino Prime.” “Oh I’m Snow Flake and this is my sister's colt Lightning Strike.” She said as she stepped a bit closer and Lightning Strike looking up at me in awe. “And this broken sword who’s is it” She asked. “It’s good to know you both and this was the sword that’s called War but I broke it after I got it out of me because Stalker impaled me with it.” I said as I picked up the parts. “Wait you got impaled?” She said shocked bring up a hoof to her mouth. “Yes right here” I said as I pointed to the middle of my torso. “Oh my you poor thing.” She said while touching the spot where I just pointed. I was about to reply but Celestia spoke first. “Alright every pony it’s getting late now and the party’s over have a great night!” “Oh look at that time sure fly’s fast when having fun” I said. Turning back to the mare I saw she was thinking hard and a bit sadness hidden between all those thoughts. “Snow Flake are you alright?” I asked. “It’s just Lightning Strike and I have no place to stay right now since we came from Ponyville.” She said while looking at the ground. “Well you can come and stay with me in my room at the castle, I’m sure that Celestia won’t mind.” I said. “You’ll let us stay with you?” She said, her mood perking up immediately. “Yeah let’s go” so we went. After a walk and convincing a few guards we arrived at my room. Entering I saw a maid have been here because everything was neat and clean. “Welcome to my den!” I said excitedly. “You two can have the bed I’ll just meditate all night” I spoke. “You're too kind you know that” She said while walking over to the bed with Lightning Strike. “I’m kind to those who are kind and aren’t like those snobby uptight nobles” I replied with a bit of anger. “Anyway good night you two” I said. “Good night Rhino Prime.” They said at the same time. So I went and meditated between the bed and the television and managed something amazing.
