> Infinite Undifscovered Friendship > by khandmlpfan > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: Arrival > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arrival It has been a nice run for Capell, and now... he has finished his journey with Aya, Edward, and the rest of the gang. He closed his eyes and waited for the end.... A light slowly shines from behind him, slowly engulfing him in the radiant light of the Moon. He waited and yet.... he felt nothing but drowsiness wash over him, and slowly bringing him to a gentle slumber which he was sure would last forever like the sleep that the Aristos would have since Veros, the Crimson God was gone from this world. ---------------------------- When Capell awoke, he was not where he saw his Father and Leif with his sister Faina... three people that was important to him that he had lost... Instead of the holy feeling field from his vision he had ended up in a dark, very dense forest. He looked around and slowly stood up, the armor he had on before falling asleep slowly moving along his body, both protecting it and yet allowing him the freedom to move freely. He easily stood and turned his head, the silver armor with the blue chain male linked skirt with gold trip moved along his body as he surveyed the area around him. He was lost... more lost than his time within the tricky mists of the Cobasna Timberlands. Yet... these were not the friendly sites of the timberlands... if they had a pleasant time at all. These woods were new to him and he had no idea what lurked within these dense woods, but he had a feeling he was about to find out as he heard some hurried steps begin coming towards him. Instinctively he pulled out his sword, the emblazoned sword. The blue metal of the blade shined with what little light shined in through the top of the forest's dense wood-life, casing a slight glare of light in front of him as he waited for what would emerge for him to fight. His red hair shined a bit like his sword, his eyes fixated on where the steps of whatever it was coming closer and closer. He prepares for one powerful lunge, but stops once he sees an orange pony and laughed a bit before he put the sword away and looked around. "I got worked up over nothing. Well I guess i better find my way out of here." He turns and looks up through the trees, into the sky. "Lets see.... damn the trees are too thick to tell the time... maybe if i just head off in one direction i can find my way out." "Are yah lost dere?" The sudden voice made Capell turn and he saw the orange pony which had a sobra on and had a saddlebag on it's back. "Ah could show y-" "Gah! Y-You talked!? P-Ponys where i come from can't talk!" Capell stared wide eyed at the pony for a minute before the pony showed a very angry expression towards him. "Well of cource ah can talk! Can't yahll hear meh?" She glared daggers at him as he slowly calmed himself down. "S-Sorry, i just haven't met talking ponies before. Kind of odd to me, then again i have done equally odd things myself." "Anyway! Do yah want a way out of 'ere or not?" She seemed to be running on her last little bit of patience with Capell since she had met him a bit ago. With a quick nod form him, she then turned and started down a dirt path, motioning with a surprisingly flexible hoof for him to follow which he did. He followed for a while until he just had to ask her. "So what is this place called? Not the forest i mean um the land mass you live on." The orange pony took no time in answering him, saying in a 'matter of fact' tone of voice, "We are on Equestria, greatest place on Eques." Capell took all of this information and nods, starting to think to himself a good while, thinking of a way to possibly get home, back to his world, and back to Aya. He deeply missed her and wanted to see her so bad that it literally hurt him not to be by her side at this very moment. Suddenly the snapping of a twig take him out of his trance and he looks to the side. A huge shadow was forming that had caught his eyes, within the dark backgrounds of the forest it was hard to see, but he still managed to make it out enough to see if it was hostile he needed to deal with it quickly. Instinct drove him to put his hand on the sword at his hip before he actually saw what in Eques was the creature. Soon the shadow starts to grow smaller and smaller until suddenly a small black and white pony comes out from the bushes. "Hm? Ah i see you have found your way, please follow applejack for here you must not stay." Was all it said before it started to walk back in the direction it came. Taking a minute he figured out at least two things, he should follow the orange pony, and her name was Applejack. Quickly he caught up to said pony and thought he might as well ask her name instead of blurt it out. "Hey! You never told me your name!" Capell just blurted out as he jogged a bit to keep up with her. Applejack turned her head and smiles a bit. "Ah didn't, didn't ah? Well ah'm Applejack. What's yahr name?" "I am Capell. So applejack, what do you do? I mean if that's okay i ask." Applejack seems to ponder the question for a while before smiling softly to Capell. "Ah work an an apple orchard. What do yah do?" Now that was a tough question to answer, but he didn't want her to think he was suspicious and then told her straightly, "I am a part time fighter and also a musician." He told her with the truthful look in his eyes, not wanting to give out too much yet. After all he did just meet the mare and didn't want her to go to the authorities about it. During their entire walk they were both silent, and finally they made it to their destination where Capell is staring, both wide eyed and mouth hanging open a bit in happiness at the site he saw. "Welcome to da town of Ponyville!" > Chapter 2: Welcome to Ponyville > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Welcome ta ponyville!" Applejack said with a smile, not noticing Capell's wide mouth and his surprise filled eyes as he stared at the many houses and the ponies walking around with their coat, mane, and tail color of every hue of the colors that were in existence. He only responded to her whens he bucked him in the shin, which with the armor he had on felt more like a small child hitting you as hard as it could. Slowly he came out of his frozen in surprise stasis and looked at a now mad Applejack. "Did yah 'ear a word ah just said!?" Capell laughed a bit and smiled nervously. "I-I'm sorry, but could you repeat what you said?" "Ah said we betta get ya some help if yahr thinkin' of staying 'ere 'n ponyville." "Well where should we go to first then?" Capell rubbed his head a bit as he sat there, looking down at the town, not too sure where to start since he knew nothing of this world. Applejack went to talk, but a sudden scream caught her attention and she looked down towards ponyville at a rather 'fancy' building that stood out form the others that had a busted down door. "Woah nelly! Ah'm comin' rarity!" She ran off, but Capell was close behind her, rushing at the same speed as her towards the boutique that belonged to the pony applejack called out. Capell ran in first, only noting two things, one there was a white unicorn in the corner with a purple mane curled up around a smaller filly, and two, there were three demonic dog like creatures in-between him and the two in danger. The largest of the three snorted and seemed to growl as it talked in a low, cracking voice. "Now look *snort* we just want where you keep the gemsss. Then we will be on our way~" Rarity, well at least he guessed the mare was rarity looked up with a hateful glare. "I will never tell you!" The second biggest only laughed like the other talked before speaking in a lower, but still cracking every now and then voice. "Then we will *grunts* tear this place apart until we find it little miss pony!" Capell glared at the three muts and said in his authoritative voice, the one he uses after the incident with Leif and Faina. "Leave them alone!" The smallest one a chihuahua looking dog thing, said in a squeaky, rough voice said, "Or what yah good fur nothing animal." He glares at them, anger boiling in me as he draw my blade and said loudly in the same voice, "Eternal refrain!" An instant later he is dashing so fast it looks like he is teleporting every time he appears in another space and slash at them, going about ten slashes before hitting them and sending them flying out the door. He then hear somepony talking behind me. "Oh, my! That was fantastic! Oh and your armor looks simply marvelous! Tell me what area of Equis do you hail from?" He turns around and see the purple maned mare which looked rather fantastic for a pony, but could not compete to Aya. He scratches his head though and looks away, before giving her a shrug to her question. He then starts to speak in his usual soft voice rather than the pissed off one. "I am just a traveling flute player, no one special. Are you and the filly alright?" "We are perfectly fine now that you have saved us form those ruffians. Oh, where are my manners? My name is Rarity~, and this little filly here is my little sister Sweetie Belle." She edges sweetie belle closer to Capell who knelt down and smiles to her. "Hello there you two, my name is Capell." He bows his head and looks up, smiling. "I am just glad i was able to send those guys out the door for you two." He then holds out his armored hand for them to shake. Rarity shakes his hand with her hoof and then she nudges sweetie belle. "Sweetie belle don't be so rude to our savior." Sweetie then nervously shakes his hand and smiles. "Um, t-thank you for saving our hides back there." "No problem." He lets go and slowly stands up, looking at the two of them. "You two remind me of some people i lost... very much like them. Heheh well i better be going now. I hope that nothing troubles you." As he turns to leave Rarity spoke up, "Wait! We need to compensate you for what you did." Before capell could argue he felt her drop a leather bag in his hands. "There you go, a hundred bits. Now don't go spending it all in one place." Rarity would giggle a bit as she stood there, waving to capell. He would look at her and smiles. "Thank you, and have a nice day." He pockets them and then bows before standing up straight and leaving the building, only to feel something hit him HARD. He was sent flying, bouncing a few times on the ground before he stood up and looked at what had hit him. Standing, or rather flying there was a cyan colored pegasus pony with a rainbow mane and tail who was rubbing her head a bit with it's hooves. It spoke, in a tomboyish voice which confirmed to Capell it was most likely a she. "Ow, that hurt, but that wont stop me, Rainbow dash! You assaulted one of my friends and I will not forgive you, and I hope you are ready. Because I am going to beat you and destroy you with a sonic rainboom." > Chapter 3: The red head vs The Rainbow Dash > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capell could only stare at the cyan pegasus that had slammed into his body only moments ago easily get back up from the contact to his armor. Not only that that same pegasus managed to slam into him and send him flying like a rag-doll, and landing on the ground where he still was, laying on his back. Noticing this he slowly started to turn onto his stomach and started to push up to his knees. It took him a bit since he was still getting over the initial shock of being thrown off his feet, not only by a flying pony, but a flying pony with rainbow hair. He would then slowly rise to his feet before he stared at the pony and reached down towards his sword. The mare had attacked him, but he thought that she was only reacting out of instinct, and he was not going to harm something. Especially not when it only seemed to have a need for speed on its side. Sighing a bit Capell got into his usual battle stance and stared at the pegasus, waiting for her next move to commence. *rainbow dash point of view* The cyan pegasus scraped her hooves on the ground and grunted as she saw the thing slowly get up, even after she had hit him at full speed with her sonic rainboom. She watched it stand up and reach for it's side, most likely with the thing that it tried to rob rarity with. It grew a large crystal sword which looked way too heavy for any of the guards within Equestria to wield, well any that she knew of at least. Despite the thing's stature or how he could hold the weapon, she would defeat it and save her friend from it. All she needed to do was a few loop-de-loops and then finish it off with a sonic rainboom canceled into the buckanear blaze. "Oh yeah, you are going down for sure!" The thing spoke and she could understand his words clearly. "I won't lose to you, while i have something to fight for." All she could do was grind her teeth a bit before she flew into the air, doing a few loop-de-loops to look cool as she climbed higher and higher. She climbed higher and higher until the town looked like a toy model to her, and then she dove straight down towards the ground, picking up more and more speed. Her speed was enough to start making the mach-cone that was the sure-tell sing of her about to break the visible-light spectrum and preform her specialty, the SONIC RAINBOOM! Quickly with her increasing speed, she started to break through the mach-cone that had formed around her, and sure enough. An ariel-nuke explosion went off in an array of rainbows as she sped down at mach-10 speed. *Capell's point of view* His eyes stay trained on the slowly incoming blue dot in the sky, readying his blade, but more of the blunt side so he didn't kill the creature. He didn't want to harm her either so he would time a guard correctly and book it for the everfree forest. That was if he wanted to succeed in both living and not harming the young looking mare that was no.... coming from a rainbow explosion! "W-What the!?" What he saw next was the same mare he had his eyes trained on coming down in an alarming rate with a rainbow wave appearing behind her. His eyes widened before a voice whispers inside of his head, one he knew all too well. "Don't lose focus Capell!" An image of his 'twin' popped into his head, but this 'twin' of his was his father, Lord Sigmund. With slightly renewed vigor, Capell nodded and waited, closing his eyes as he waited. He heard the before impact wing starting to kick up and his eyes shot open as his blade started to glow with his power. His energy manifested into a visible white-blue magic aura that surrounded his blade, as his knuckles turning white behind the gauntlets he was wearing as he gripped the hilt of his blade tighter. Slowly he looked up and saw that the pony was close enough to use one of his mothers, which he called out in his usual voice, "Laviathan slash!" He swung his sword up and was rocketed up with it, only to end up feeling him and something else staggering as his blade made contact. He landed on his back, stunned before he was able to move again. It annoyed him to no end how he was able to be stunned, just like his opponents, but he had no time to worry about that since now he could feel the effects of the stun wearing off on his body. Soon enough he was able to completely move his body; and slowly he got up as he started returned to his battle stance before seeing a pissed odd pegasus being held down by Applejack and Rarity. "Calm down Rai'bow!" "Come on you saw it Applejack! He was attacking rarity!" Rainbow Dash said as she struggled against the combined weight of both her friends, which she had thought were on her side with this one. Rarity then did the most unlady-like thing she could do. She smacked her friend. "He wasn't attacking me like some brute! He was saving me from some neanderthals that tried taking all my gems away. Now listen here Rainbow dash, you are goign to apologize to that man or you are going to be VERY sorry!" Rainbow Dash, as Capell now knows, stared at Rarity as if she had groan a second head before her ears folded back and she looks to Capell. "I-I'm sorry! There i said it." Rarity just smiled and nods as Rainbow was still left with a bit of fear of her friend and what she ment by 'being VERY sorry'.
