Never Free: part 3
Chapter 14: Never Free: part 3 (like every boss fight)
"Sapphire!"
"Ruby!"
"Sapphire is better!"
"they're the same game, but Ruby is better!"
"Why am I even arguing about this with a dragon?"
"Because you saw the Joyboy in my hoard!"
"Oh yeah... Sapphire!"
"Shut up Chance," F.C said as I tried to continue our battle over the ponymons! I don't care that I'm eighteen this shit will never die and these ponies understand that.
I didn't even realize that it was nightfall until I noticed a bright orange glow on the walls. We had been arguing over this for four hours which is surprisingly short in comparison to some of my other arguments with the ponies. The glow on the wall I would of just chalked up to my fire going, but it was brighter and a lot bigger than it should be. I turned my ears toward the cave entrance to see if I could hear anything; I could hear a lot of hoofsteps entering the caves entrance.
"CHANCE!" I heard Arrow call out from the entrance. F.C heard him as well and had his claws come out.
"WAIT! I know him Fire," He let his claws fall back to the ground and nodded for me to go meet arrow. I began walking toward the entrance where Arrow was waiting. His expression was one of worry until he saw me then it was pure relief.
"Dear Celestia, Chance!" Arrow said as he started hugging me tightly.
"Hey Arrow..."
"Are you okay? Lyra came back into town saying a dragon was holding you hostage and -"
"I'm fine, Arrow," I wasn't looking him the eyes while he asked me all these questions. I mean how could I when I ran away from him and caused him to worry about me for 2 whole days. He finally let me go to inspect me for any injuries when he caught sight of one of my hooves which were still covered in scars from the glass.
"I'm so sorry, Chance,"
"About what? You're sorry about my fears because you shouldn't be,"
"I'm supposed to protect you, and I let this happen to you," He said motioning toward my hooves. He pulled me back into the hug and I heard something from Arrow I didn't think possible. When I felt the tears hit me I knew it; he was crying over me. Why is he so worried about me when I caused him all this grief because I couldn't simply let him handle everything.
"It's not your fault, Arrow. I shouldn't have ran away," I felt tears welling up in my own eyes the more I thought about how much I fucked up. I couldn't cry though I'm a man for fucks sake! Tears started to leak out of my eyes anyway so I just let it go and began crying with Arrow; it felt good to let that out.
"Lets get you home, Chance,"
"Arrow I...I-"
"I know,"
"Before we go. let me say goodbye to Fire Catcher,"
"Who?"
"The dragon who looked after me while I was out here,"
"Oh shit!" I was about to ask him why he just said that when a very tall white alicorn walked by him with a very angry expression on her face. I was confused as to why she was here when I heard roars from the inside of the cave that were definitely not pony.
"FIRE! LET ME GO ARROW!" I yelled as I tried pulling away so I could help my friend who roars became louder and louder each passing moment. Arrow wouldn't let me go however so I had to do the one thing I could think of and bit his hoof causing him to drop me suddenly. I ran toward the back of the cave where Celestia and Fire were currently though Fire was a bloody mess and Celestia was still her pristine white.
"Back away little one. I'll protect you," She said giving me a small smile before pulling a boulder out of one of the walls and raising it over Fire's head. I couldn't let her kill him because of my stupidity so I did probably the worst thing possible and tackled her before rushing toward Fire who was barely concious.
"I'm here, Fire. I'll protect you,"
"Bad things happen..."
"...but you shouldn't let them destroy you,"
"Good kid, now go on and leave before they decide that you are dangerous too," Celestia had walked up behind me during our conversation and picked me up and handing me to arrow who had just caught up to us.
"I think he has Stockholm syndrome. Bring him by his therapist tomorrow," Celestia said before picking the boulder back up in her magic which caused something in me to snap.
"YOU WILL NOT TOUCH HIM!" I yelled as fire erupted around me. I don't know what exactly was going on, but I didn't care they were going to kill something that had done nothing wrong. I was not going to let that happen because of my incompetence. "I will kill you if you try..."
*** 2 years ago***
"This place is really freaky,"
"It's just an abandoned church, Chance,"
"Demons like taking these places over man. For the irony of it I think," I said as I slowly walked toward the center of the small building. This place just felt wrong in every sense of the word.
"You really believe that shit?"
"Yes I do. People get stuck between worlds sometimes and demons like stealing souls,"
"It just seems a little childish to me,"
"You can't explain everything with normal logic so I use superstition to fill the gaps," He was looking at the podium and his eyes went wide at whatever it was he was looking at.
"I don't think this is a bible man," he said as he lifted up a book that's cover was completely blank and seemed to be made of some kind of leather. This was really fucking weird so I took a few steps toward Ryan, but the closer I got to him and the book the more I felt like something was wrong.
"It sure as hell isn't. I don't think we should mess with it,"
"I want to see whats inside," He opened up the book and a chill ran down my spine. A feeling of dread enveloped me as he began reading. He was also one of those people that speak when they read; I couldn't understand what he was saying but it sounded evil. When he reached the last word flames erupted near us revealing a creature of fire.
"RUN!" I yelled to him which he gladly obliged.
******
"STOP THIS INSTANT, CHANCE!" Celsestia said with an authoritative voice in an attempt to get me to stop defending Fire.
"DROP THE ROCK AND I MIGHT!" Celestia didn't lower the rock and instead shot a beam of magic at me. I jumped to my right before sending a fire ball directly at her. She dodged it with ease before attempting to throw another magic bolt at me which hit one of my legs making it go numb.
"GIVE UP, CHANCE. YOU'RE ONLY MAKING THIS WORSE FOR YOURSELF!"
"I WONT LET YOU KILL MY FRIEND!" I yelled back at her before tossing another fireball at her which she dodged. The fire went flying for a few feet before it hit something.
I heard a yelp of pain from behind Celestia causing us both to turn toward it to see Arrow was on the ground with severe burns on his legs. The flames around me died instantly as I limped toward him in hopes that it was just an illusion, but when I got there they were as real as could be.
"I'm so sorry, Arrow! I didn't mean to-" I blacked out before I could finish my sentence.

yep. fire. best thing in the world. wish i had chance's power over it. at the most i'm slightly more fireproof than i should be and i'm also heat resistant but that might be because my hands don't exactly feel things too well. another result of FIRE! yeah i fucked up my hands when i was real young. so far the only effect is deadened feeling.
6371048 I'm sorry to hear about you not being able to feel to much with your hands anymore. Though Chance doesn't have complete control over his ability to use fire as we will see in future chapters.
Ruby is better btw :)
Just read the rest of chapter, screw you Lyra for not noticing he's running from YOU and fuck off Celestia, trying to kill a dragon for looking after a kid!
Just going straight into a fight then executing him without talking...
Probably leave it alone unless someone else confirms it's friendly/tolerating, I am not a risk taker.
6371070
So he has a chance of his abilities failing.
But trying to attack celestia, the overpowered sun Mage, is like the first time Shulk met metal face
As in, he got his shit wrecked and his friend died as he was forced to watch
6371116 Sapphire!
6371117 I don't recall saying he died. I just said he was dying big difference there.
Edit:
I just noticed the pun and now I feel bad for missing it.
6371122
True, but that's basically what happened in xenoblade. Impossible battle. Friend gets wrecked. Dies. but not really
6371129 I've never played xenoblade actually.
6371134
Then watch the Chuggaaconroy vids of it. It's great
6371144 I might do that later. Is it on going or a finished playthrough?
6371148
Finished
6371155 Great now I can actually figure out how many episodes to watch a day so I can eventually finish it!
6371170
Advertising. Pay me money, chugga
6371118 Ruby! >:c
6371175 *money drops from ceiling* I guess that works?
6371177 Sapphire!
6371182
The best one is
EMERALD!
6371203 Let's ask Celestia then
24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lhzg1ihk9A1qefpygo1_500.png
That's a little extreme don't you think?
Chance has rely done it this time. Striking the sovereign of the land is considered high treason in any country you go to accident or not, and it would normally be grounds for execution for any adult or at the very least a felony, traitor to the crown. Celestia may find it in her heart to forgive him but others wont think so and will try to make an example of him. At best, I don't know who many ponies there are in the cave, she may want to force everypony to keep quiet about what append in the cave, but questions will still be razed.
At the very limit I could imagine Celestia thanking Chance for gating in the way and not killing the the dragon over a misunderstanding of what append.
Question did Celestia just teleprompted into the cave when Chance just came out? Her arrival was eerily quiet. I am surprised that she did not try to negotiate with the dragon to get Chance back first. I can imagine that Equestrian have pore relation with dragons, and we don't know much about their usual dealings with them but it doesn't seem to be wise to have a settlement like Ponyville be so close to a known dragon den.
I also wander if Celestia also had an escort of Royal Guardponies with her to fight the dragon; it would also explain to how she was taking to when she told that Chance had Stockholm syndrome
The question would be, are dragons dangerous to equestian or any other sapient creatures in this world. to me the answer would be a yes but on an individual case only. if the dragon has any refined gold works in there hoard I think it is safe to say that the dragon in question most probable stoled it from a castle how append to have a lot of ponies or otherwise inhabiting it at the time of their visit. All doe, it would be hart to prove where their hoard came from; it could be that he got it from other dragons as well, Fire has shown to be at the very least benign to ponies so long has his hoard is not threaten, he is still dangerous.
I still wander doe, where did he fond a JoyBoy any way? Did he buy it( that would funny to see a dragon go to a toy-store getting it).Did he just fond it lost in the woods or did he steal it prom a pony?
6371210
I has 16 Shiny Rayquazas. I traded them to myself by starting 16 new games on my second ds and basically started off with them on my normal profile. I is Rayquaza gamer. And yes, that's right, I used ds. Also, do you have a 3ds?
6371216 All of those are excellent points. points in which I will ignore and claim magic to avoid answering said points yet so... MAGIC!
6371224 I have the original not a 3ds. Kind of fell out of the handheld gaming awhile ago.
6371236 I got a rock
6371236
Kk. I got a 32gb flash drive today. And £20 worth of candy
Depending on the size and reputation dragons I would certainly not seek it out. If I stumble a pond it by accident and that he would show himself to be talkative I would be willing to speak to him, but I would still be weary of him, especially for his temperament and if he is just playing with his food.
6371228 good answer
6371247 s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/aa/9b/d6/aa9bd62a043b8621e93e402765e62ddb.jpg

Praise the cake and protect my sun
6371255 As a great man once said,
i48.tinypic.com/28mp9xg.gif
(it wasn't about magic but close enough.
in what way. he thought he saw a mare who had tourtured him and ran, nothing wrong with that. he confronts celestia when shes trying to commit murder. celestai is at fault that Arrow got injured
6371262 orig13.deviantart.net/6354/f/2014/006/1/e/my_1st_mlp_meme__i_don_t_trust_you__by_stevenator_20xx-d7159ad.png
You might steal my cake and destroy the sun!
6371276 As mix up put it
Celesita may be at fault but she still is a leader which will have very large repercussions in the future.
6371279
What cake? This one. Also, I disguised the sun as the moon when it was killeded by piccolo
6371294
My cake! 
the sun!
6371285 buck it if she's a ruler. she's at fault and even if theirs consecivenses for his actions he was in the right.
6371300 How everything plays out depends on what personality I have given her. I recommend thinking of her interaction with Chance at the beginning and then saying what you believe she will do. I already know, but I like seeing what you guys think up.
6371298
No. Eat... Your... vegetables!
6371313 *pulls out potato chips* Does this count?
6371319
*pulls out mango* this is vegetable now. EAT
6371330 That's a fruit! I think? I'll get back to you on that later, but I've got to go now. talk to you later.
6371335 k bai. And I magicked it to vegetable
6371276 In the eyes of the Law, the responsibility of the act still Chance he is the one how fire the magic, even if he is a minor, and he got in the way of Celestia obstructing her functions of keeping the peace in her kingdom. the sole responsibility would fall to him, and to his guardians for letting him go into harms way.
6371416 my wiew Point is more of the moral of right and wrong not the law's wiew on right and wrong
6371307 she makes a comment that Chance has Stockholm syndrom when hes protecting a friend. my wiew on Celestia is not high
6371424 I share you point of view on that. I just needed to point out how Celestia would see it in her point of view seeing that was working with sketchy information that told her that a foal was in the claws of a dragon who had breath fire on one of her subjects, the same would she got her information from.
Yo, if he wakes up and escapes to the den to find it empty or full of dragon corpse, I swaer that I will be super disappointed if he doesn't go Super Saiyan-pony on Celestia.
The one to fuck up was Celestia, who's with me?
Wow. not much to say about it as a a whole, but a lot of little things
I always thought it would be weird if you said this knowing Celestia was not 20 feet from you
Wait. Two days? dude, say that somewhere. preferably in the last two chapters somewhere. like, "it was the next day" or somehow he smelled worse than yesterday." I had no idea it had been two days. i thought it had only been a few hours
...
..............
.......................holy shit this guy deserves to die, if only because of sheer stupidity
I'm the type of person who is glad when certain characters die in horror movies because of the stupid decision they made
*sigh* ....okay, okay. lets see where this goes.
6371553

I wonder what will happen to Lyra when Chance finds out that she's the one that told Celestia about the dragon.
