//------------------------------// // Returning to Canterlot // Story: I am Rhino Prime // by Twilight Archon //------------------------------// Returning to Canterlot. I was about to leave my room as Hakkar knocked at the door, I went over to answer the door. Opening the door letting Hakkar in. Hakkar came in with Zavar in his hands. “Hey what can I do for you Hakkar?” I asked. “Oh nothing I came… I came to apologize for those words i said towards you and the Tenno.” Hakkar apologized. “What you have nothing to apologize for, I completely, I would have probably have done the same thing if I was in your shoes.” I spoke as I held his shoulders and looked him strait in the eyes. “I’m only glad that I still have you as a friend and I could reunite you with your son also not every one from the Orokin Empire is dead.” I spoke as I released him. “What do you mean?” Hakkar asked. ‘Chuckle’ “The Corpus and the Grineer are still here but very Different from what you remember.” I spoke. “But how Different?” he asked. “Why don’t you read it for yourself? Anyways I’m gonna go back down and reunite With my family.” I said while I packed up what I needed. “Well i’m not going to stop you then, have fun.” Hakkar said as I left with what I got from the trip. As I entered my Hangar I saw Excalibur waiting for me by my ship. “What to lazy to take your own ship down to your surface?” I asked him. “Ha ha no I would have but I have no place to live down there and I also thought you could use some company.” He replied. “I would love the company but you could simply ask Celestia if she could lend you a room, but I’ll gladly help you out so hop on.” I spoke as when went aboard the Liset. We made the trip down go fast with idle conversation and soon we successfully landed in the field I was Given when I first came here. I also Got my Kubrow out of stasis which is named Shadow because I wanted to introduce my Family to him and the other way round. Rushing the reviving of Shadow I was able to get him active almost immediately. Once we were outside I was assaulted by two Cute bundles of fur. “Daddy!” Red Rose and Blue Sky shouted as they jumped and hugged me. “Hey you two How’s it been?” I asked. “We have missed you so much!” Red Rose shouted. I soon heard someone laughing to my left and saw it was Excaliber. “I can’t believe that the mighty Rhino fell to two fillies.” He spoke. “Hey I can’t help it everyone knows that i’m weak against puncture damage and extreme cuteness!” I replied while I hugged the little ones. “I’m not cute!” Blue Sky spoke. “Of Course you are.” I replied before I ruffled her mane which i got a pout form her in return. Before I got slapped across the face with a White hoof. “How dare you be gone for so long! I almost thought you were dead!” Quick Strike said before she hugged me and began to cry. “It’s okay i’m here and alive no need to worry” I spoke as I hugged her back. I quickly noticed that her belly was slightly swollen but almost unnoticeable. It took awhile before she stopped crying but she eventually did also releasing me from the hug at the same time. “Thanks, I’m glad your back now.” She spoke. “Your welcome So what did I miss while I was away?” I asked. “I found out what gender our unborn foal is.” She spoke. “Hmm what’s the gender? Don’t keep me waiting!” I replied. “It’s gonna be a colt” She replied. “Hmmm He’s gonna be a handsome colt for sure.” I spoke which brought a smile to Quick Strike’s beautiful lips. “There’s also an show and tell at the School, but…the kids don’t really have anything to show the school.” Quick Strike spoke. “I is that so?”I asked the kids. “Yes Daddy we couldn’t find anything intriguing enough to show the whole school.” Blue Sky spoke. “What do you have in mind?” I asked. “We would like to show them an awesome pet we had.” Blue Sky replied. “But what made you want to do that when you don’t even have a pet?” I asked. “Umm my friends and I betted each other who had the most awesome pet ever.” She replied. “Hmmm most awesome pet ever?” I asked. Which I received several nods from my daughters. I let out a small chuckle before I spoke. “I can easily solve that, I even wanted to introduce you all to my Kubrow Shadow.” I spoke before I let out a whistle. Several seconds went by before Shadow came running to my side from the door of the liset. I stood up and petted Shadow as I watched the reactions of my Family. Quick Strikes had the look of shock plastered to her face from the size of shadow and his armor he’s wearing. Which is the Kavasa Prime Armor, and the fillies were pure excitement. “So what do you three think?” I asked. “Wow it’s size is incredible and why is it wearing Armor?” Quick Strike asked. “Soo cooool can we use it for show and tell?” I two fillies asked. “He’s wearing armor because I use him when I go into battle and sure you're allowed if I come along.” I spoke. “Yay! Thank you daddy!” The two said as they hugged both of my legs. “Your welcome and please refer to him as shadow or him or he, he doesn't like being called it.” I spoke. “Yes Daddy!” They replied. “All right we should head home.” I spoke. So we started walking towards where I lived with Quick Strike and the kids, but we ran into someone. “Ahh it’s the Tenno who I was looking for.” A white stallion with a blonde mane and a tie around his neck spoke as he trotted towards me. “Yes? Who are you?” I asked. “Oh my manners I’m Prince Blue Blood it’s a pleasure to meet you.” Blue Blood spoke. “It’s nice to meet you Blue Blood, I’m Rhino Prime Leader of the Phoenix Clan What can i Do for you?” I asked. “ I would like to speak to you in Private?” He spoke. “Your four head on home with Shadow i’ll be there.” I spoke to Excalibur and my family. Once they left I turned back to face Blue Blood. “Lead the way.” I spoke. Once i said those three words he led me into the castle and towards a door. Behind the door was a simple small room with a desk a lamp and a window that light was coming through and lighting the room up and no decor or anything just plain white. “So what do you want?” I asked. “Aaa yes but let me explain some things first.” He spoke. “All right go on.” I spoke to him as he waited for my answer. “First thing i’m in charge of a secret service here, we keep an eye on anything and anyone on this planet, I know it’s intruding on the privacy of the innocents but it’s for the best.” He spoke. “So you're a secret agents but what am I doing here?” I asked. “Aaa yes there’s a problem going on near the Gryphon Kingdom, one of the settlements which is called Griffonstone, one of my agents have reported they are being turned into hideous creatures that attack anything on sight.” He spoke. ‘Hmmm hideous and attack anything on sight...sounds like the infestation could it be? But if it is the infestation how did they arrive here?’ “Do you know what they look like?” I asked. “Yes one of our agents got a few photos before he had to flee from those creatures.” He spoke as he placed the photos he had on the table. Taking a good look at the photos and I was shocked at what I saw. The first photo was of an infested Charger the second was what I believed was a gryphon, so an infested gryphons are a thing now for the infestation and the third and last one was of an ancient. “This is extremely troubling.” I spoke. “Wait you know what they are?” Blue Blood asked. “Yes they are called the infestation which is a virus that will take full control over any organic being.” I replied. “Wow, we must alert the royal Guard and fight back! And remove this virus from this planet.” He spoke. “Your group nor the Royal guard will be doing anything it’s too dangerous and stupid this is for the Tenno only.” I replied. “Why! Why aren’t we allowed to do anything?” He asked. “Because your troops will just become infested and make the infestation stronger and harder to remove.” I answered. “Well then how about you surely you can get infested?” He replied. “Thats where your wrong, us Tenno are immune the the technocyte virus which makes us the best candidate to remove the infestation.” I answered. He didn’t reply immediately which made the room so quiet that you could cut it with a knife. “Alright i’ll hold it to you that you do remove this virus.” He spoke. “You don’t need to worry, i’ll be taking my leave now have a good day.” I replied as I left through the window and headed straight towards Home. Out side My home. I was nearing my home on Equestria I made my way towards the door and pushed it open yelling “I’m Home” I was greeted with two fillies crashing into me once again. “It’s nice to see you two again.” I spoke before I heard a giggle which turned out to be Quick Strike. “Let your Father go you two” She spoke as the the two let me go and left into the living room. “Thanks hun Where’s Excalibur?” I asked as I stood up. “Your welcome and he’s in the kitchen.” She asked. “Thanks hun your a real sweetie.” I said as I walked past he and slapped her behind earning a surprised eep from her. Looking back I saw she had a sultry look as her surprise vanished quickly. Entering the Kitchen I saw Excalibur sitting at the table reading a book he found. “Houston we have a problem” I spoke. He closed his book and placed it on the table before he turned his head and spoke “Remembering the old times?” He asked. “Yup i am an i’m sure you miss them too.” I spoke. “Yeah I do but anyway what’s the Problem?” He asked again. ‘Sigh’ “The infestation has Reached Equestria.” I spoke. “Yeah that is a Problem.” Excalibur spoke. “The infestation?” I heard Quick Strike speak. Turning around I saw that she was standing by the door and had a face of confusion and worry on. “Well it was a long time ago during the rule of the Orokin Empire they controlled the Origin system…” I started to tell the story on how the infestation came to be. An hour latter I ended the story only to be met with the face of horror which was the face of Quick Strike. “Such a terrible weapon! How could they even decide to create something like that!” She spoke. “They were desperate and in that desperation ended up creating us.” I spoke. “Oh wow…” She spoke “Hey where’s Shadow?” I asked. “Oh I found a bed for him to sleep in up stairs which he is sleeping in right now.” She spoke. “Thanks hun, how about in the meantime shadow sleeps we all take the kids somewhere to have some fun?” I asked. “I heard that the annual fair just opened we could take them there?” She spoke. “That’s a great idea i’ll get the kids.” I spoke. So I did just that.
