Chapter 12
Exposed
The next day started out normal and was the week before Spring Break so everybody had already turned their brains off and started making plans. It was mid day and the group of friends were having lunch at their usual table.
“So what are you guys gonna do over break?” Pinkie chimed.
“Mac needs a hand on the farm and I need the doe.” AJ said in a her usual demeanor.
“I have at least a dozen orders to fill for Sapphire Shores new line of dresses.” Rarity sighed.
“I have to help a few rabbits make a new hole.”
“That don’t seem too bad. How many ya gotta do?” The farmer asked.
“Over one hundred.” The timid girl then squeaked and hid under the table as they heard a thunder clap. The group looked out the window and saw that dark clouds were forming.
“Storms coming in.” Crank said. AJ gave Rarity a wink and she nodded as she looked at the squirming Dash.
“So Crank what escapades are you going to do?”
“Nothing special, work most likely.” He said with a shrug.
“Partner ya gotta put down that gizmo of yours and take a breather or you’ll work yourself into an early grave.”
“Didn’t Twilight give you a lecture like that few years back?” The farmer crossed her arms and pouted at the man as the others chuckled. “What about you Dash?”
“Oh uh...nothing...training I guess. Playing games. You get Titanfall?” Before he could answer he saw Dash frown. Crank looked behind him to see Blueblood fast approaching with a smug grin on his face.
“What do ya want Blueblood? We’re eating.” The man sighed.
“What I can’t have a friendly conversation?” Crank narrowed his eyes on the man. “I just wanted to say no hard feelings.” The man said as he continued on his way. “Oh and to offer my condolences about your sister.” The grey horned man’s eyes shrank and rage swelled within him. Twilight had also noticed that the overhead lights started flickering.
“What’s he talking about?” Dash asked.
“Nothing.” Crank said as he used all his self control to not zap the Prince.
“I hardly think that your sister dying under your watch and loosing an arm qualifies as nothing. I guess she was just too dimwitted to trust you with her life.” Crank cracked his neck and was about to strangle the man when he heard a giggle coming from Pinkie.
“That’s silly! Crank still has his arms!” She said as she chuckled. Blueblood gritted his teeth. If there was one thing he hated it was being laughed at and Pinkie’s laugh had always annoyed him to feats he thought impossible.
“Shut up peasant!” The man fired a bolt at Pinkie that struck her square in the chest and sent her crashing into the fashionista and farmer. “No one dares-” The Prince was cut off as a large magical bolt of electricity hit him square in the jaw and sent him back. Twilight and several onlookers turned and saw the usual calm cool headed Unicorn with rage in his eyes and magical sparks arcing over his body.
The Prince wouldn’t dare be beaten a second time by the inventor and he pulled out a small plastic pistol. Several students hit the floor and gulped. It was a Parisprite 38. It fires concentrated bullets from the user’s magic. It was the standard issue side arm for Police. The room was then filled with a blinding flash of light and the Principal appeared before them.
“CEASE THY ACTIONS BLUEBLOOD OR FACE OUR-” Was all the copy of the Princess could say before Blueblood fired a magic bullet at the clone and it vanished in a puff of Smoke. Crank quickly pulled out his screwdriver and pointed it at the sidearm as he pressed the button. Another blast erupted from the gun before it exploded and the Prince clutched his hand in pain. The blasts didn’t hit the man but it destroyed his screwdriver.
Crank took the opportunity to lunge at the man and hopefully subdue him. Blueblood gulped and dodged the man’s fist just in time to see Crank’s clenched right hand break through the concrete pillar as though it was cardboard. Several students’ jaws dropped at the display. Blueblood gulped in fear as more Electricity poured out of the man’s body. Crank grabbed the Prince by the collar and slammed his knee into his ribs. He gripped the man’s hair with his right hand and charged his left with magic.
“You. Never. Mention. Her. Again!” He yelled between punches. Blueblood felt blood in his mouth and focused his magic into his horn and let out a bolt of magic that hit Crank square in the face. The blast shot the inventor back and through the window. Crank managed to land in a summersault way and panted. He had already used up at least half of his mana and was getting more worn out. He saw Blueblood jump down with his magic charged.
The man sighed and raised his hands as the downpour continued. The Prince was so busy charging his magic that he didn’t notice Crank gathering his magic in his two hands. Just as Blueblood was ten feet away, Crank brought both his arms down and a massive bolt of lightning with it. The magic infused bolt came down on Blueblood hard. The only thing that anybody remembers is a flash of light and a blood curdling scream.
After the bombardment Crank saw that Blueblood was still moving. Squirming on the ground, but alive. Part of him wanted to continue beating him until only a stain remained but settled for a spitting on him as he walked by. The smell of burnt flesh was present in the air. Crank dropped to his knees as he felt most of his magic drain and coughed up a mouthful of blood. The inventor then heard grunting noises and saw Blueblood attempting to stand up.
“You....little...worm.” The Prince said as a large amount of energy formed in his hand. Crank managed to stand up by steadying himself on his knees. The amount of magic the Prince was holding in his hands was enough to blow up a bus. With the last of his strength, Blueblood threw the sphere. The Prince’s fatigue made the sphere go off course and was now heading for where Dash and the other students were standing. In a flash crank remembered the exploded factory and the yells of frightened people.
The man fought through the pain and extended his damaged right arm and caught the ball of magic. For a second, time stood still before a flash of light and explosion filled the student’s senses. The students ducked as the shockwave hit them and shattered the remaining windows. After the dust settled Dash looked out to see the storm raging on and Crank’s body was on the ground, barely moving.
“Crank!” The woman yelled as she flared her wings and approached the man who was now on all fours. Dash could see that he was turning towards her. When she saw him from the front, she and most of the girls screamed in horror. His right arm had been completely destroyed and wires were sticking out along with mangled pieces of metal. Dash was frozen on the spot and was shaking. The man’s once electric green eye had a large crack in it and was flickering. The right side of his face was also burnt.
The students all looked at the man and gulped as the room was filled with bright blue light. The real Princess Luna stood before them with four guards, along with Shining Armor by her side and a foul look on her face. She looked at the scene before her and put a hand to her mouth in shock. Two guards broke up the students while the other two cuffed Blueblood. Shining summoned a blanket and put it over Crank who grunted in pain as the ambulance arrived and took him away. The last thing Crank saw before blacking out was Dash’s shocked face and tears running down her cheeks.
Nononononono I need mooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!
I refreshed after reading another story and here this was.
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNNNN!
Blueballs is such a prick.
-Missy
but...but...but...i need to knowwwww
I dont care if he is a king i would beat the crap out him uf he make fun of a dead familiar
Blueblood ends up getting grounded for two weeks as punishment.
4171241 in the famous words of Naruto Uzamakey " I DON'T CARE IF THEY'RE YOUR GRANDMOTHER"
Well at least Blueballs is the one at fault now.
Is this a one time short chapter or is this how long they are going to be from now on?
TOO
SHORT
YOU TORTURE US SO ;-;
I'll have to read this a second time when I'm not laughing my ass off watching Scrubs.
HOLY FUCKSHITITGRBLFCCLZSCHBLB!!!!
One!
You know how to write cool as hell fighting scenes!
Two!
The cliffhanger is so bad that it's not even a cliffhanger anymore! I JUST WANT MORE!
THREE!
THAT WAS FUCKING MARVELOUSBLBLBLPLPLKCHHHHHHH!!!!
4171577 To be honest...
No.
Blueblood is an asshole, but also sort of a villain at the moment. I'm actually positively surprised that he was even given so much power since he's usually the one character that's been thrown around like some fucking ragdoll. He took multiple HARD hits to face and didn't drop down KO'd, and that shit needs some strength when someone who's been fighting for a long time against actual mercenaries takes Blueblood as a personal punching back, and still can't KO him with one punch...
...OR WITH A FUCKING LIGHTNING JISUS CRUST WHAT THE HELL!
But yea, Blueblood's an absolute asshole, and also evil, in this story. That's how it is, and we'll see. Maybe he will end up better than dead, so either he gets fucking incinerated or he actually becomes a good fella.
Almost forgot to add.
He's way too proud to forgive after losing a "nice and friendly" match. His proudness has taken a hit and it's not gonna recover very quickly.
Though nothing in him is recovered quickly anymore. He's going in jail for an attempted murder along with hundreds of other surely big and bad crimes and ain't getting out unless those other dickwits help him.
Damn it all. Loved this chapter can't wait for the next one, hope it's a little longer
... So you're gone for a while it seems... And you come back with a 1.3k chapter... I'm disappoint, I at least expected an explanation... :/
Great chapter, guess the big things are coming cranks way along with all the questions.
It was shrot BUT I have a BUT..........its what made this chapter good *sits back* continue
4172072 Sorry! School is starting to wrap up so I'm getting bombarded with projects and papers. Don't worry the next chapter will DEFINITELY be longer and will explain so much.
Why do I get the feeling Celestia is going too have a long hard talk with Blueblood? I mean this was supposed to be secret. Just a thought.
4172919
There is no good about him, that's the point. He's a fucking jackass meant to be hated in this story.... for now at least.
4173530
Only our dear writer in case he wants to. That's why I clearly wrote "for now at least".
4172919
4173648
I personally hate Blueblood to the core, so no, he isn't going to get redeemed, at least not in this story.
4173718
At least that reveals quite a lot of how fucked Blueblood's gonna be in the future chapters.
Very fucked.
btw thx 4 the answer bae ♥
4173795 No prob. Blueblood still has a role to play though.
4173889
There was never a doubt about that, I'm excitedly waiting ;3
MOTHER F****** F**** THAT WAS F****** AWESOME YOU F****** BRILIANT SON OF A B**** I HATE BLUEBLOOD AND HIS PUNK A** HE DESERVES WAY WORSE OMG.
[regains composure]
Um... great chapter. Can't wait till the next one! Interesting relationship developments are about to take place.
4172648 Cant Wait!
4174729 Indeed there is and I plan to.
The grammar in this chapter was a little eh, but I liked the conflict that arose. Keep up the good work mate.
My avatar finds the current development of despair and misery very pleasing.
4171797 Good ass show.
4180688 You got to love Dr. Cox's rants

4181983 I wish I could like that more than once
4182348 We all do.
Read this chapter while listening to the nightcore version of "Get Away With Murder" From ForeverNightcore. It fits the fighting very well.
