> Guyver: The Bio-Boosted Protector of Equestria > by Saviour From The Dark > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > The Chains are Broken > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There was nothing left.........Red covered most of the organic looking chamber, it surfaces were detailed with indents and bumps, there was little to no angles at all used within the xeno architecture. It would be a beautiful sight if not for the mutilated and unrecognizable corpses which left little of the reasonably sized chamber untouched by deaths taint, limbs and other chunks of organs littered the floor and walls. A dim red light radiated from pulsating orbs placed upon the ceiling, the life fluid of the recently deceased aliens reflected the light ever so lightly, in the midst of strewn organs along with blood soaking or at the least staining nearly every inch of the chamber........ Many ridges and archways adorned the sadistically decorated chamber, marking it as a place of great evil, however many unforgivable sins occurred in the chamber and many alike such chamber existed which in turn committed either less or more of the same evils. The chambers organic, light purple, surface was fractured by the heavy amounts of fresh red blood. In the center of this room was a creature with an appearance more questionable than that of the mutilated alien corpses, at least one of the thousands of organic fragments could be found could be found wherever one looked within the chamber. Upon it's knees, in a pool of blood, hands grasping its strange head, which had a smooth spike extending from the front of it's head which curved backwards. Said hands which grasped the sides of it's head were blood soaked, as was most of the being, and shook violently as it seemed the creature tried to make sense of the world around it..........As though it could finally understand an awful truth. Two silver metallic orbs were placed on the top left and right of its head while a circle of the same metal sat almost implanted upon it's forehead furthermore a smooth emerald orb sat just above the circle. Underneath that were two lavender shaded slits which expressed not even a droplet of emotion, you would find more emotion in what little remained of the terror stricken now mutilated faces of the aliens. Where many would expect a mouth to be instead were two extremely smooth emerald orbs placed side by side an inch apart furthermore this being seemed to lack a nose and had two angular opening which protruded from it's "cheeks", they almost looked like organic vents. No audible sound came from the creature as it seemed to observe itself, it watched it's own hand as it clenched and released over and over, as though it was trying to satisfy an endless curiosity. The being was clad in a green chitin type of armor which covered most of it's lean and muscular form yet there were gaps which revealed dark green flesh which looked alike to coiled cords. The two silver orbs upon the sides of it's head moved back and fourth along the slight trenches where they sat, which allowed them to move as they did. As though alerted, like a hunted animal, it stood to it's full intimidating height plus a metallic orb could be seen in the center placed at the center of it's waist. The creature then looked forward towards a large circular door, made of the same organic material as the entire chamber. Watching the door silently, as if awaiting the inevitable approach of death, suddenly steam hissed out of it's "vents". It then ran away from the door it was facing and ran towards a circular door which was opposite to then one it now fled from. The door denied the creature escape and the creature responded by piercing it with both hands to then tear the door open, an amazing yet effortless feat. Running from the overpowering presence it felt not too far behind the being found itself aligning it's path to the source of a more comforting presence within the organic maze. The being easily tore open the door which attempted to halt it's escape from the ever looming threat, what a threat it must be to scare such a terrifying creature. Once within the smaller chamber the first apparent observation was the multicolored pulsating orb of energy which seemed large enough to engulf the green creature which desperately searched for sanctuary,it saw this energy as such sanctuary. Suddenly an alien being with no discernible limbs and lashed out at the green being with it's tentacles..........These were then unfortunately, for the alien, torn off in a shower of blood before the being grabbed the aliens throat and slamming the alien into the nearest wall. "GUYVER!" It screamed. Crack! "Guy-ver" The last word it was able to murmur before life left it's forsaken body. Suddenly that overwhelming power which terrified the green being ever so much was lingering just behind and it was as though there was a moment where existence simply seemed to end within the mind of the creature named "Guyver". Feeling it's death literally not too far from breathing down it's neck the Guyver decided to throw everything away in a last ditch effort. Just as a hand narrowly grazed the Guyvers shoulder it dived into the radiant orb of energy, vanishing into the energy orb which radiated a positive energy. As soon as the Guyver dived into the orb it collapsed upon itself almost instantly, as sudden as the blink of an eye, and all the angry being which hunted the Guyver could do was grit it's teeth and strike the wall to it's left, obliterating it. Meanwhile in Fluttershy's Cottage.... Mumbling and murmurs came from the bed where a yellow Pegasus lay, wrapped in thick sheets due to the lack of firewood. Her pink mane, usually brushed and neat, was disheveled and frizzy from all the rolling over she had been doing all night. One would find it difficult to understand her ramblings as it ranged from slurs to her beginning a sentence which became a random cluster of words which eventually reduced to mumbling, one would call this cute if they had any sense. Moonlight shined through the window overlooking her bed and to say it complimented her was an understatement, the mare looked as though she was a warm and loving goddess. A small white rabbit, other wise known as, Angel slept peacefully in his basket next to Fluttershy's bed his ears occasionally twitching in response to his carers ramblings. Fluttershy's eyes began to flutter open ever so gracefully revealing sea blue eyes, beautiful would compare to an insult. As her mind caught up with her current state she cuddled up into the sheets and looked over at the fire at the back of her cottage, it's dancing flames warmed her soul as she watched them it move fluidly. She smiled as she sat up against the oak backboard of her bed, the pillows softening the touch of the hard oak. "Angel, bunny, are you awake?" CRASH! Angel, automatically, jumped up from his bed and hid himself behind Fluttershy's bright pink mane.To say the mare was faring better would be false as she was currently peeking out from behind her hooves which attempted to shield her from whatever danger was invading her home. As she slowly, painfully one would say, edged over to the end of her bed with Angel ever at the ready to run away. Fluttershy looked at the hole which had been made in her roof.........Then her eyes lowered upon an extremely odd creature which was colored both a deep green and a dark, murky, green. Fluttershy could no longer stand by as a creature lay injured in HER HOUSE! With the speed of a Wonderbolt she was by it's side before a second elapsed. "My goodness! Are you alright?" > It's The Little Things > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The current silence was chilling to say the least, a looming fear settled upon the mare who inspected the aerial intruder. Approaching the sprawled figure took a lot of courage out of the yellow mare, it's tall and strong form only added to her discomfort. Fluttershy could feel Angel shaking in fear as he was clinging to her hind legs for dear life, she wondered if she should be taking the same course of action her bunny was, however the Element of Kindness could not stand by while a poor creature lay inured in her own home. Slowly she took step after step towards the currently unconscious creature, at least she hoped as it was intimidating enough when it was most helpless, when the floor creaked beneath her steps Fluttershy hid behind her mane in preparation for the creatures awakening............However it was still led there, still as it had been just a few moments ago. When the mare was finally looking over the creature sprawled limply at the end of her bed she could see a few cracks in the wooden floor boards beneath it, the damage did not concern her only the though of how hard it fell to cause the damage, furthermore the creatures weight now concerned her as if it was vitally wounded she would have no way of moving him to a position that would help with recovery. As she observed the creature, which was now under her official care, it was hard to discern just what the in the world it was..........Fluttershy being renowned for her knowledge of Equestria's wild life, and any living creature upon Equestria for that matter, so the fact that she had no idea what it was both shocked and confused her to no end. Currently the yellow mare was inspecting the circular metal plate on, what seemed to be, it's forehead. The metal orbs on the sides of it's head and at the center of it's waist made her question further if this creature was indeed a wild animal.........Or some kind of sentient being never before seen upon Equestria............Fluttershy giggled at the silly notion. Angel jumped onto it's muscular chest which like the rest of it's body was covered in a murky green chitin, almost like what Queen Chrysalis had around her midsection, there were some gaps between the chitin where a dark green, almost black, flesh which looked like thick vines were wrapped around it's body before it was covered in it's chitin armor. The bunny seemed content there as it lightly tapped it's foot upon the creatures chest while Fluttershy observed the spikes protruding from it's forearms and it's head however the spike upon it's head seemed to be a crest of sorts. "Used for the purpose of attracting a mate maybe?" The mare thought to herself, pondering upon the functions and uses that all of the creatures special features provided. "Angel, would you be so kind and fetch me a bowl of water". The little rabbit nodded in response and bounced away to fulfill his mission. Fluttershy on the otherhoof was touching the emerald orbs where she believed it's mouth was while she wondered what the protruding holes were upon it's "cheeks". Her touching moved to the emerald orb above the metal circle upon it's forehead, she thought the creatures form of jewelry was strangely beautiful. Looking into it's light pink/lavender eyes she caressed the metal upon it's forehead.......... Hiiisssss Steam hissed out of the holes upon it's cheeks as the metal circle which she still had her hoof on began glowing with a bright light............Fluttershy couldn't move whether out of fear or her natural instant to stand by the creature and help it, no matter her personal feelings or how much she wanted to curl into a ball. Realizing that she had jumped back and landed on her rump while sheltering herself from the world by covering her eyes with her hooves, in a vain attempt to hide herself. Yet as whatever horrors she envisioned did not occur the mare allowed herself to lower her hooves and look at the awakened creature, she admitted that it was much more scary awake as she presumed. Once she looked upon the being which was now awake and staring blankly at the hole in her roof she noticed that it's eyes were glowing a light pink, an eerie sight within the darkness of the cottage. "Ex-cuse me, mister, are you alright?" The way it suddenly looked at her made her gasp and almost jump, thankfully her good will rooted her to the spot, however to compensate she hid behind her mane. Slowly it rose from the waist upwards, as though it's powerful body required no external help, all the while it watched her with an blank gaze. Thankfully a hopping bunny with a small bowl of water held within it's palms bounced upon the scene, saving Fluttershy from an awkward silence. "W-Would you like some water?" The glow radiating from it's eyes faded which somehow made Fluttershy feel more comfortable around the being. It then looked at the bowl of water which Angel set down before it's feet, it was as though the prospect of drinking was unknown to the being. With an almost painful pace Fluttershy watched as it slowly positioned itself to sit with crossed legs furthermore the mare herself sat went to sit by the bowl with Angel who sniffed the seemingly two toed feet of the being. "Do you need any help with that?" It looked into her eyes and it's head tilted to the side in a questioning manor. A warm smile spread across her face as she lifted the grabbed the bowl with her hooves and lifted it to her mouth, taking the slightest of sips, the liquid she sipped had moistened her soft lips. After setting the bowl back down she wiped her lips and smiled again at the being who watched her. "Now you try it". Even if it could not understand her the gesture seemed to of made sense as it took hold of the bowl with it's hands, with extreme caution, the bowl was then lifted to where the two emerald orbs sat side by side...........When said bowl was tilted the liquids poured out onto the being and upon the wooden floor beneath. Angel blinked idly at the being while Fluttershy giggled at the cute actions of the once scary creature which made it look at her with a tilted head once again, she could do nothing but find this being adorable. "That's okay......I will need to get Twilight to help me find out just what you are. I'm Fluttershy and it looks like I will be looking after you form now on". After a few moments of silence the air became unnerving, not as intimidating or foreboding as last time yet none the less unnerving. It's hands moved towards the ends of her long pink mane, which to her embarrassment, was frizzy and disheveled for whatever reason. It rolled strands of her pink mane between it's fingers as if it was contemplating something, a slither of a memory or the tail of a moment which it just could not grasp. It looked straight into her deep blue eyes, she gasped as she felt it grab her forelegs. "Guyver" > Rose in A Massacre Meadow > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Following the night in which Fluttershy found herself taking a very strange creature under her wing, fortunately it was not one of the strangest things that had happened to her. Once it had spoke that one word........."Guyver". The mare had a very hard time finding out just what in the name of Celestia "Guyver" meant, although most of her time consists of helping animals which requires her to read body language and understand their different calls she had to admit this particular creature was a tad clueless. However after about half of an hour Fluttershy was able to get the being to understand her name was in fact Fluttershy which was done by pointing at herself then stating her name, although she had to go through the educational process of proper pronunciation since it referred to her as Fluterrshy and Luttershy. Eventually the creature had taken on board what she was implying and placed a hand on it's chest then said "Guyver". Nothing more or less, as thought it knew nothing else, so Fluttershy had taken to calling it Guyver although after some more time spent in the deep hours of the night observing Guyver she also assumed it was a he. Another thing Fluttershy had noticed was the Angel seemed to have a strange harmony with Guyver as the bunny mainly rested on any part of Guyver he could, ranging from shoulders to legs. Although she believed this quirky little duo was cute and found herself giggling many times whenever they inspected one another, one example was Guyver prodding Angel's ears to which Angel began poking Guyver's head-spike. After all the drama and getting to know one another Fluttershy could no longer ignore the constant yawns along with her eye lids deciding to shut on their own accord, after rubbing ones eyes continuously you tend to find yourself realizing the importance of sleep. So she ushered Angel into his basket before giving him goodnight wishes and a motherly kiss on the cheek although she did not see it Guyver watched the action with keen interest, maybe too interested one might say. After climbing into her own bed and getting comfortable Fluttershy noticed that Guyver was just standing there, watching her as she lay snug and warm in bed. She did not want Guyver to have to sleep on the floor all night nor did she have anything he could sleep on...............The obvious course of action made her hide within her pink sanctuary once again. "Y-You c-ca-can get in-into bed i-i-if you like" It took nearly a full minute of still silence before Guyver made his way to her bedside however she was amazed he heard her, the floor boards creaked beneath his weight, once there he lifted the sheets awkwardly and after a while of observing the devious fabrics he was able to get into the bed.......However.........He was currently sat up with his back resting against the headboard with his legs taking up the length of the bed. Fluttershy had no idea how she was going to fit her tall bed-mate into the pony orientated bed yet before she could say anything more Guyver seemed to relax where he was, this created quite the conflict within Fluttershy's kind mind, the mare did not know whether to move him or leave him where he seemed comfortable. Though the promise of rest was too great and she soon let the pillow cradle her head as she lost herself to slumber. Guyver on the other hand watched her fall asleep with a strange feeling pulling within it's chest, unable to comprehend this feeling, Guyver placed a hand on where he believed the feeling was. After some time Guyver himself soon began losing the battle with the promise of sleep, strangely wanting to resist such a thing, whenever they slept in the bad place.........Well bad things happened. Placing an arm behind Fluttershy and pulling her a bit closer the tugging feeling seemed to disappear........Guyver, now rid of the confusing tug, fell into sleeps promising embrace. In the morning.......... Watching the sun rise over the horizon in Ponyville was quite the sight, you didn't have all the nuisances of living in a city, no tall building get in the way and there were plenty of places where one could simply sat and watch as the night sky changed into a deep orange which soon gave way to a warming yellow before it finally becomes the bright blue all ponies associate the morning with, when to get out of bed, when to set up shop or simply when one day becomes yesterday and tomorrow becomes today. The suns rays shinned through the windows of a small cottage belonging to a certain bright yellow mare, known to many as the element of kindness, light shinned through the window illuminating the cottage. A pink mane prevented the light from going into the yellow mares eyes while the sunlight illuminated the dark green armor of the mares protector, currently, in a deep slumber. Sometime during the night Fluttershy had snuggled up to the warmth radiating beside her and rested against Guyver's right leg while her head rested upon his thigh all the while the arm around her only tightened however all these actions were subconscious.........Neither of them knew how close they were.............. Then the most soothing sound to wake to met their sense of hearing........THUMP!..........THUMP! THUMP!..........THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! Fluttershy's eyes opened rather lazily, each lid refusing to fully open. The thirst thing she noticed was that her chin was resting on something warm and rather snug, so of course, she looked to see what in fact she was resting on........."Eeeeeeep!" Guyver suddenly shook and looked around frantically. The metal orbs upon his head moving back and forth in alert, sensing everything in the cottage and awaiting a threat to emerge. After a moment or two of waiting Guyver looked to his side to see Fluttershy hiding underneath the sheets, his head tilted in question, then he pulled the sheets off her. Fluttershy was buried in her mane and covered her face with her hooves in an attempt to hide, not very well she admitted. Guyver's hand pulled one of her hooves away from her face and noticed that her cheeks had turned slightly pink.......... Tilt right..... "D-Don't look at me like that" Tilt left...... "I-I'm n-not embaressed or anything i-if that's what your th-thinking". Thump!............ "W-What was that?" Thump! Thump! Guyver slid out of bed and stalked his way around the bed too Fluttershy's side of the bed............She peeked over just as Guyver discovered the culprit!..........The source of the noise was.............. "Angel!" Fluttershy loudly spoke more than shouted however it was enough to wake the sleep-thumping bunny. Angel twitched his ears as he looked between Guyver and Fluttershy from his curled up position in his basket, a look of flawless innocence gleaming in his eyes. "Oh Angel, you were just dreaming again, you frightened the both of us". The mare slid out of bed and scooped her bunny up to place him on her back, the bunny was content with his Pegasus taxi service. Guyver followed the mare to a table which she sat Angel upon and disappeared into a back room, muttering something about breakfast. This left Guyver and Angel to have another silent conversation. Angel twitched his ears in a sequence to which Guyver nodded and the sensory orbs upon his head moved back and forth in response, this seemed to be their way of speaking. Angel then took a second to contemplate something before thumping the table which then left Guyver to contemplate..................Hiss Angel nodded in agreement to Guyver's response, consisting of heated pressurized air. "Here's your breakfast Angel" A bowl full of carrot slices and chucks of cabbage was placed in front of Angel which he immediately began devouring. Fluttershy seemed to of made herself a simple salad sandwich to start her day. Guyver sat on one of the four chairs placed around the small table however once again the chair creaked under the strain of his weight. For many the silent gaze of an unknown being would make them feel uncomfortable however Fluttershy was used to the company of critters of all kinds which she took under her wing for various lengths of time, so she was at ease where most would be on edge, furthermore Guyver made her feel quite safe due to his size..........It was nice to feel protected and secure. While taking small bites out of her sandwich Fluttershy created a shopping list in her head as she noticed her pantry was looking rather dry, she had been taking care of more animals than was the norm recently, furthermore she added visiting Twilight as a priority. She needed to try and find something about what Guyver was so she could take care of him as she discovered last night he has no visible mouth and even worse he doesn't even know how to drink never mind eat. Halfway through eating her sandwich she came up with a two-birds-one-stone solution. "Guyver". His gaze quickly shifted from Angel to the mare."I am going into town and I would like it very much if you could come with me, I just need to pick up some things and visit a good friend of mine". .........Nod Fluttershy didn't even know if he understood her or knew what was even happening but he seemed to follow what she asked...........To a degree at least..........The way she saw it was that it could be worse. After Angel was done feeding and Fluttershy finished her sandwich, she took Angels bowl into the kitchen and placed it in the sink, then she brushed her hair so she didn't look like she had attended one of Vinyl's late night parties. After quickly freshening herself up Fluttershy walked out the door with Guyver in tow, and a rather silent being he was minus the sound of his steps which was even then quiet. Guyver's sensor orbs moved back and fourth as he sensed so many things..........The high pitched tweet of birds, growls of a hungry bear and even the flow of the stream which flowed underneath them as they crossed over the natural bridge, connecting her cottage to a dirt road which lead to Ponyville and many other destination. Guyver noticed the wooden constructs in which the birds either sat beside or poked their heads out of to inspect him and their carer. "Don't worry dearies I will be back before you all know it, things have been busy around here and we are just so low on food, and I don't want you all to go hungry". The mare conversed with the birds as they walked past the birdhouse-tree which Guyver watched with a keen interest. Although their journey was silent Fluttershy found his company pleasant and felt as though he was always listening to her, even if it was the most tiniest thing. Occasionally she would tell him just tiny pieces of information about Equestria, not wanting to throw everything at him at once. She really felt for Guyver...........He was in a strange place with no family and he doesn't even know how to speak...........To her it was all the more reason to take care of Guyver, scary as he was she could tell he was a sweetheart deep down. Suddenly they came to a standstill in their pleasant walk on a clear sunny day. The path split in two..........There were two signs and each pointed in their individual direction stating that they led to Ponyville. One went straight on whereas the other went right into a forest ."Oh my.......Well I haven't seen this before......Maybe it's a scenic path......" With unsure steps she strode down the path which went right......Guyver did not know what was going on yet he stayed close behind Fluttershy, the feeling of his presence behind her put the mare at ease. The forest was not as dark as the Everfree was yet there were some sections of the path that were left dark due to how close together the trees were, Fluttershy had the feeling of the trees closing in on her once or twice. Unknown to Fluttershy Guyver was observing her while they walked along the dirt road, his gaze never really left her unless he sensed something which required his attention, he watched her tail as it swung two and fro and even glanced at the markings on each side of her flank. Something felt......odd when he watched her flank as she walked.........It was when this odd feeling became annoying that he began walking by her side from which he observed how her bright blue eyes seemed to capture all light surrounding her and shine with double that light, it was strange how he looked at her every chance he got. While he was observing her eyes he wasn't prepared for the sudden turn of Fluttershy's head. Looking straight up at him she smiled, rather sweetly, then carried on moving straight down the road. "Oh look ahead, there's a clearing over there!" They both saw it. Radiant light shinned down upon a not too distant meadow........It seemed as though everything was brighter outside of the forest and the promise of getting out of the enclosed space was enough for both of them to pick up their pace, not wanting to remain in the darkened confines of the forest. Once they finally breached the darkness they were each blessed with radiant sunlight, a natural glow was about the newly discovered paradise they were in, looking around Fluttershy noticed that they were in a meadow with the path running straight through it furthermore the meadow was enclosed by the forest in a natural circle formation. To their left was a flat and plain yet vibrant meadow then to their right was a small bump upon the land which would be called a hill, a rather small hill it was, however what made this little hill special was that a single red rose sat upon it. "Isn't this place beautiful Guyver?" ........"Beautiful". Guyver didn't know why he said it.......It just felt right to say it. The distorted tune and slightly high pitch of his voice saying a new word was a symphony to Fluttershy's ears. She watched Guyver as he observed a flock of birds flying over the meadow, the clear sky along with the radiant sun was what made the day, the light illuminated Guyver's dark green armor and the metallic orbs upon his body gleamed under the days light. The shy mare had to admit that his appearance, although alien, was exotic and he intrigued her to no end. Guyver turned to look at Fluttershy, the flock of birds had now passed over meadow, the mare instantly pretended she had been gazing at the rose the entire time..........Both of them knew it was a pretty bad cover up yet nothing was said of it. Fluttershy now observed the rose and even at a distance it was beautiful, it's deep red petals could not of been closer to perfection. Unable to stay away from the magnet which tugged at her nature loving heart, her gallop couldn't of held as much bounce otherwise. Once standing right over the flower, nearly burying her muzzle in the vibrant rose, she observed it closely and wondered why this was the only flower in the whole meadow.............. Guyver's sensor orbs were frantically shifting back and fourth, caution and aggression were the first feelings flowing through Guyver, he immediately snapped his vision towards Fluttershy..........The presence he was sensing........They were underneath Fluttershy! Just then.............Fluttershy grabbed the rose.............. Before she could react, dust and earth blinded her vision as growls overcame her hearing. It took only a second for the blinding explosion of dirt and earth to settle which uncovered Fluttershy being held in the air by her delicate throat furthermore the culprits of the attack were none other than.........."DIAMOND DOGS!" Fluttershy's scream was customary to the wretched dogs, as was the screams of their many previous victims, the dog was accompanied by three others who were grinning with whatever sadistic pleasure they gained from this attack. "Run Guyver! Get help!" Fluttershy's pleads went unheard, a different entity had taken possession of Guyver, before they had even snatched her off the ground Guyver was already standing before the four attackers in a very nonthreatening poise, hands by his sides and feet a bit closer than shoulder width. He stepped forward and one of the Diamond dogs advanced in response......... "You think you're sumthin', ya little runt!" Guyver simple looked into the dogs eyes. This Dog in particular was squaring up to Guyver with his saliva drizzling muzzle nearly pressing into Guyver's "face". His build was much bulkier than the other three, his arms were double the size of Fluttershy, without warning the Dog swung his fist in a hook at Guyver. A warning was something the Dog wished for as his wrist was crushed under tonnes of force coming from the hand Guyver had grasping the Dog's wrist, a mixture of blood and shards of bone burst from the sudden pressure. Suddenly Guyver pushed the elbow of the dogs arm into a joint lock with his palm, unfortunately for the Dog, Guyver pushed with enough force to shatter the elbow and tear most of the flesh and muscle fiber, leaving only mutilated limb hanging by a string of flesh. "MY ARMS!". The dog screamed as blood continued to spurt out of the wound. "Careful boy'z........He ain't no 'ittle runty pony!" Guyver grabbed the head of the kneeling and barely breathing Diamond Dog then driving his knee straight through the Dog's face, brain matter and blood now decorated Guyver's right knee. The mutilated corpse hit the ground with a sickening squelch, there was a terrifying silence to compliment the scene. Fluttershy couldn't believe what she was seeing..........Watching Guyver act so ruthlessly without remorse was horrifying.......... Guyver moved towards the Dog holding Fluttershy however the remaining two grabbed each of his arms,hoping to restrain their approaching death. "You ain't goin' anywhere!" They each made sure that their weight was halting the monster from moving........Yet this was all in vain. The metal circle placed on Guyver's forehead shinned with a blinding light before the two dog were effortlessly thrown past their apparent "leader" though the trails of blood left by them made the Leader look back from his arm less comrades to Guyver..........Who held their missing arms. "You stay away!" The dog backed up before tripping over his own feet, as he fell backwards he saw his comrades in pain induced unconscious states. Guyver walked forward slowly as the Dog still had hold of Fluttershy and was dragging her across the blood soaked grass, the fear within his eyes foretold that he was desperate. "P-Please! I-I won't tell! Y-You lot'll nevah' see me again!" It was clear that a similar, agonizing, fate was to befall Fluttershy's assailant. The Dog eventually backed up so far that his back touched the bleeding stump of his comrade, his breathing accelerated as did Fluttershy's. Suddenly the Dog pulled out a knife and held it to the now crying mare's throat, the blade was pressed against her soft fur, it was blunt yet that was besides the point. "Now you stay away! Or this 'ittle las will be bled dry!" Guyver suddenly stopped. He looked at the dog with his emotionless features before looking at Fluttershy..........Then he looked straight at the Dog.......Fluttershy slammed her eyes shut.......The emerald orb above the metal circle on Guyver's forehead suddenly glowed......... Fluttershy could of sworn she felt the sun fly by an inch from her face. She opened her eyes to find herself laying upon the Dog's chest, her reaction as expected, she jumped off the Dog and simply stared at his motionless body. Due to his back being propped against his one armed comrade the Dog's terrified face was clearly on show for any and all to see, a psychologically scaring sight for any innocent soul. What shook Fluttershy to the bone was the extremely precise and straight hole through the Dog's forehead which gave a view of the forest behind his corpse. Fluttershy covered her mouth to halt a silent scream she turned away from the scene in hopes of finding some Sanctuary......... Guyver was standing there..........The rose was in his right hand, something she noticed as he knelled down, once one one knee before her Guyver brushed the left side of her mane, which hung low as she attempted to hide within it, he brushed her mane over her ear and then slid the rose she had been admiring before the horrific incident behind her ear. "Fluttershy..." Guyver said slowly."Beautiful......." The mare collapsed where she stood. > Ponyville Offensive > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guyver.........Guyver was lost. He did not know where to go on his own, not without Fluttershy, but his friend was sleeping as he held her close in his arms. The mare was extremely light for the Bio-Boosted Cro-Magnon yet as he carried her, tight and secure, he wandered towards where all of the 'bright things' were. There were also buildings but to Guyver they reminded him of Fluttershy's "home" as she called it where all the "animals" were, from the ones that were on the ground to the ones that moved through the sky. The distant town came closer and closer with every step of the armoured protector, occasionally looking down at his charge to make sure she was okay, though the feeling of Fluttershy wriggling every-so-often in his arms would draw his complete attention.......Even to the point where he would stop walking just to pay attention to her, to protect her. Guyver could see the deep orange colour of the sun as it sat beautifully behind the town or as Fluttershy called it "Ponyville", the fluffly clouds which hung over the town were dyed a light pink that seemed to further radiate the warmth even as the sun was preparing to make way for the birth of night. However. Guyver sensed something........wrong. As the sensory orbs upon his head moved back and forth Guyver could hear distant sounds of something all to familiar and all the beings he could sense were scurrying around, as though pitiful lab rats, this familiar sound brought a very well acquainted feeling to Guyver. Anger. Hate. The way his once gentle hands now curled to the point where they nearly touched Fluttershy but he wouldn't do that for how could he hurt his only friend? Guyver.......Understood what he had to do, for the second time since being with Fluttershy he could understand completely what had to be done and how to do it. Dust clouded where Guyver once stood as his powerful form bounded to Ponyville at a staggering pace, the trail of dust left behind was not even close to touching to ground by the time Guyver was entering Ponyville. With the grace of a leopard Guyver slid across the ground and behind a crumbling building burning flames seemed to encompass most of Ponyville, the graceful action created a blast of pressure which flowed past Guyver. Guyver's sensors once again scanned the area yet now there were no signs of life in the area, at least not as much as he first sensed, then two beings suddenly moved within the area. Almost as if they just appeared. As Guyver sat against the wall with his delicate charge cradled in his arms he looked down at her and the sound of breath escaped the sonic emitters, the orbs which were placed around where one would expect a mouth. Setting her down gently Guyver burst into an effortless sprint from behind the wall and headed in the direction of the two life signatures his burst of speed extinguishing some of the nearby flames, the Cro-Magnon allowed instinct to lead his actions as doing so had kept him alive to this very point. The closer Guyver got to the two signatures, louder were the sounds of conflict and thicker was the black smoke of war, destruction led towards the only two signs of life and yet he couldn't of felt more familiar with the chaos around him, almost comfortable. He could sense them behind crumbling building, a building that stood in his way, with the grace of wind Guyver jumped into the air and used his speed to power his drop kick through the wall without any effort whatsoever. The first wall he slid through like a knife through butter and the second he passed through just as easily, debris and dust followed his exit, Guyver collapsed into a roll as he hit the ground to then propel himself into the air performing a front flip and landing upon his feet with elegance of a cat. A second. That's all he had to observe the two life forms. Both were like Fluttershy but one was like fire and lacked wings but had a horn while the other has wings yet also had a horn like the fiery one however this one was also a different colour, the were facing each other as he came through the wall yet they diverted their attention to him. Half a second. In this time he tilted his head to avoid a purple beam and then tilted it to the other side to avoid another purple beam, Guyver's reflexes allowed him to see the beams as they were fired from the glowing horns of his attackers. Seeing them ready their follow up he cartwheeled out of the way of a much larger purple beam, it managed to leave a notable scar on the land as the energy beam faded over the horizon. He found himself running up a building as rapid blue blasts attempted to fire upon his feet yet before he reached the roof he propelled himself across the the other building and as he spun in mid air a purple beam attempted to catch him off guard but was subdued by a thin orange beam, this beam was fired from a small emerald gem directly above the metal circle on his forehead. Guyver's feet hit the wall of the building he had been aiming for and thus he went flying through to the other side of the former residents home. He suddenly sensed something behind him, again almost as if they just appeared out of no where, and he saw the fiery one charging up energy for a larger beam then his attention was drawn to the bright light in front of him. It was the purple one and it fired multiple beams simultaneously yet Guyver could see each one as they sluggishly approached him. The metal circle on his forehead emitted a glow as his own beam met the oncoming projectiles with equal numeracy yet cancelled out the opposing beams, a failed attempt to overwhelm him. Then he turned as he heard the fiery one behind him shout to the purple one in front, the purple one was distracting him, a purple aura enveloped Guyver as his attempts to move seemed to be fruitless. He felt something touch his back and light was all he saw for a few moments. Warm.Tingly. If Guyver knew these words he would of used them to describe the sensation he just felt. Steam rose from his unscathed form. Looking ahead of himself he saw the vast destruction caused by the fiery one's attack. Turning around to gaze behind himself he could see his two foes staring with wide eyes, he was reminded of the very look his former "masters" gave him before they fell gruesomely by his hands. His mind became clouded with hatred, they were just like his creators and they would pay dearly for destroying Fluttershy's "Ponyville". They were rooted to the spot, just like his "masters". A bright glow was seen beneath Guyver's armoured chest. Slowly he brought his hands up to his chest and the armoured plates seemed to loosen slightly as the glow intensified. As if he was about to rip of own chest open he dug his fingers in-between the loose plates, the loose plates were like armoured pectorals and he had grasped them just before they met the breast bone. Guyver began to pull. "GUYVER!" The hate subsided as did the blinding glow from beneath his armoured plates. He looked behind his enemies and saw his only friend. "Fluttershy". > Tall, Terrifying and Oddly Adorable > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As Fluttershy finally found Guyver she was horrified to see that Ponyville was in shambles furthermore to make matters worse from a distance she managed to see the two mares caught in conflict with her foreign friend, not the greatest experience after witnessing traumatic violence then awakening to find your beloved town nearly literally burned to the ground. The Princess Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer were both cowering in fear of the towering warrior who's attention was currently solely placed upon Fluttershy. "Fluttershy! Stay back, we couldn't even scratch it!" Twilight screamed at the top of her voice, internally begging her friend to get as far away from Ponyville as possible. Along with the burning remains of various homes which was only made more sinister by the moon steadily rising behind the decimated town, it was all too much, Fluttershy burst into tears which begun her slow descent to the ground where she continued to sob. While placing full attention on her friend Twilight neglected their adversary which Fluttershy identified as Guyver 'It doesn't relate to any cultures or civilisation within my knowledge'. Meanwhile Sunset Shimmer watched this Guyver walked in a steady pace over to the pitiful mare, cautious of this turn of events, Sunset nudged Twilight who's concious mind had wandered from reality in contemplation. Now aware of current events the Alicorn was fuelled with rage at the very thought of her dear friend coming to harm. Her hooves struck the ground preparing to charge as her horn began channelling magical energy. The enraged mare narrowed her eyes at the creature that would DARE!.......... Cuddle her crying friend in need of comfort. Guyver scooped up the sobbing mare and looked down upon her as she nestled into his armoured muscular chest, doing so he managed to see the redness forming around her tearful eyes. "Fluttershy......Beautiful" Despite the situation this comment managed to bring a small smile to the mares muzzle. Then she felt Guyver's hand adjusting something that tickled her ear.......It was the rose he picked and placed behind her left ear, the scene was akin to a dark knight tending to his fair maiden. "Guyver I need to speak with Twilight, if you wouldn't mind putting me down". She spoke below a whisper yet he heard every word of it. Yet instead of placing her on the ground he simply carried her over to the two mares who watched with keen interest and underlying caution, though to say they were more at ease now that they witnessed the Guyver's kind nature was indeed a fact, though this is common when dealing with an unstoppable force of pure destruction. "Fluttershy are you okay?" Twilight was the one to ask while Sunset remained on alert, what pony could blame her? "Fine, thanks for asking Twilight, but I have to thank Guyver here for keeping me safe. Besides....." Fluttershy looked around as she was lowered to the ground. "What happened to Ponyville?" Sunset Shimmer stepped forward. "We arrived here only moments ago in response to a courier from Ponyville.........Some sort of attack though not for any logical reasons it seems". The fiery mare glared at the scene around her, although saddened by the incident she did not have the connection which Twilight and Fluttershy held with the prosperous little town. Twilight nodded in agreement. "Exactly. Though there was no identification of who or what the attackers are, which leaves us in a harder spot than before, if Guyver here was not the one who attacked Ponyville then what in Celestia's name did?" Guyver seemed to be altering the source of his attention quite frequently. He would look at anypony speaking then observe his surroundings before ensuring Fluttershy's safety before repeating the pattern, both Twilight and Sunset noticed this but it seemed that Fluttershy was either used to or oblivious to her guardians protective gaze. "I apologize Guyver I never meant to attack a friend of Fluttershy". Sunset bowed her head before Guyver in apology. "Please forgive me!" When a few moments of silence passed the mare sighed wondering if her past wrongdoings would ever leave her. Suddenly a slight pressure fell upon her head, right in-between her ears, and the pressure began applying a gentle stroking motion. Looking up she saw the strange yet exotic features of Guyver looking straight into her eyes. "Friend". Suddenly Sunset Shimmer felt her heart become lighter. Twilight decided it was her turn to speak up. "I am sorry too Guyver. We had absolutely no evidence to suddenly accuse you as Ponyville's attacker and even less of a reason to suddenly attack you like that". Twilight looked Guyver in the eye as she stated her apology and she too soon felt the stroking hand of Guyver's friendship. "Friend". Was all Guyver had to say and if Twilight was honest it was all she needed to hear. Gazing around Ponyville Fluttershy simply had to ask. "What do we do now?" "Well first I am going to write a letter to Princess Celestia informing her on current affairs and Guyver here meanwhile I will search through Canterlot Caste's Archives to see if I can dig up anything on our new friend". Twilight smiled at the trio around her, making sure Guyver received the same kindness and respect she would give anypony. "B-But Princess what am I to do?" Sunset asked as though she was suddenly lost. "I believe I have taught you enough about friendship and now it is time for you to put those lessons into practice". Twilight beamed a kind smile towards her student. Sunset Shimmer calmed herself and looked her mentor of friendship dead in the eye. "What would you have me do?" Twilight placed a hoof on Sunset's shoulder. "Use the lessons I have taught to show Guyver the magic of friendship and simply help him as he struggles as anypony does. If you can give Guyver the friendship I have taught you of then you will truly understand the meaning of friendship and then you will feel free from your past actions". A light shinned within the eyes of Sunset Shimmer as she gave a curt nod to her mentor. "Right then I will go and inform Celestia immediately !" In a bright purple flash the Princess was gone. Fluttershy began the story of how Guyver literally fell into her life last night and the adorable relationship the he held with her bunny Angel. As the trio made their way to Twilight's residence the two mares giggled and down right laughed at Fluttershy's retelling of the duo's antics, all the while Guyver walked behind the both of them allowing them to lead the way. Thankfully for them the tree house come library was the sturdiest structure in Ponyville and managed to withstand the attack, taking minor damages with a hole here and a hole there with an added bit of door blown of its hinges. While the two mares took the lead Guyver's attention was placed on less.......Innocent things. Although he could not deny the fact that he and the fluffy creature had a great friendship and their communication was beyond his ability to communicate with Fluttershy and the other ponies. The attention of the Bio-Boosted super weapon was firmly placed upon the soft, bountiful and swaying flanks of Fluttershy and Sunset shimmer yet his gaze would be obvious to observers as he had to look noticeably down in order to gaze upon the mares assets. Guyver remembered this feeling. He felt it when he and Fluttershy were down the path before encountering the diamond dogs........When he walked behind her and gazed at her rump as he felt the same emotions as he did now. Want. Desire. Need. These were primal desires yet Guyver could not fully comprehend them. Yet they were desires that watched their prey.......Waiting patiently. "Guyver!" He was brought from his inner thoughts to see Fluttershy hiding behind her mane and Sunset blushing heavily, trying to avoid looking at him. Perhaps his gaze was..........Too obvious?
