> I am Rhino Prime > by Twilight Archon > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: The New World > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 1: The New World. I sat in front of my computer completing the Second Dream Quest with my Rhino Prime Warframe. As I finished and entered another cinematic, the following things happened. My Rhino Prime holding a Tenno or a child of Zariman I read about in the codex got blown back and apart from each other causing My Rhino Prime to collapse. Stalker showed up and stabbed Rhino Prime in his chest with his sword. The sword started to glow brightly and continued to glow, the glow ended covering the whole screen with a bright red color, the same color as Stalker’s sword energy. I suddenly felt a tug I noticed coming from my screen, but I didn’t react fast enough when I got pulled towards the screen. After that I blacked out. I started to regain my consciousness, I heard seven female voices speaking. “Twilight what is this you found?” A voice said. “ I don’t know Princess but it looks like it fought a battle and lost.” another voice replied. I finally got my vision back and I saw the hud I always see when I play Warframe My shields, health which was at the half mark and all other things but what that caught my eye was that I didn’t see my Warframe anywhere. Instead I saw my legs turning into the legs of Rhino Prime and the sword of Stalker I was always looking down. I realized I was in the body of Rhino Prime. I needed to know where I was and needed to get this sword out of me. I raised my arms slowly because of the excruciating pain going through my nerves, and grabbed the sword, started to pull it out but found it hard to do since it’s was placed well into my body. But it’s not impossible as it moves slowly out of my body. “Wait it’s still alive !” I heard another voice said and paused with pulling this sword out. I Looked up to see 7 ponies and one very small dragon. One of the ponies was taller than the rest with a white coat and a sun symbol on its flank. There were a purple pony with several stars on its flank, another pony with a white coat but had diamonds on its flank. Another pony was blue with a cloud and a lightning bolt with the color of a rainbow on its flank. The fifth one was a pink pony with balloons for it symbol then a yellow pony which had three pink butterflies for it's symbol, and the last was an orange pony with three orange apples on its flank. “Um hello do you need any help?” I heard the large white pony asked me. “Yess...Please” I managed to say as I almost got the sword out. “Of course” and with that, the sword had a magical golden glow around it as it got pulled out. When it came out, my health dropped down to 10 out of my total health I had yet to find out. “Thank you.” I managed to say but in a weak voice. “It’s my pleasure, but are you okay?” The same pony that helped me said. “No, I need to heal which I can manage by myself” I replied as I got a healing pod out, and by then my shields started to regenerate. “What is that you got there? and why are you flashing blue?” The same pony asked. “This is a healing pod which will heal me” I said as I set the pod down and activated it. “And the blue that's flashing is my shields that are regenerating. “This is so interesting!, Think about all the new technology we could learn from this being!” The purple pony said. I stood up fully healed at 720 health points and shields fully regenerated at 1210 points. While I reached my full height they looked up at me and awe. “My Celestia he’s tall!” The white pony with the diamonds on her flank said. I still don’t understand how they are speaking English but that's a question to answer for another time. “Okay I’m fully healed, may I ask where am I and who you all are?” I asked. “I am Princess Celestia co-ruler of this country Equestria. This is Twilight Sparkle my student, and these are her friends Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Apple Jack and her assistant Spike.” Princess Celestia said. “Thank you all for helping me, I am Rhino Prime, I am a Tenno a master of gun and sword.” I introduced myself in my Warframe instead of my real name. “Greetings Rhino Prime. May I ask why you are here?” Celestia asked. “ I am sorry but I don’t know, all I remember is fighting Stalker, which I found out was a Tenno gone Rogue” I replied. I looked around and I saw I was in some kind of garden filled with wonderful flowers and trees. But what I was really looking for was my Liset, my space ship but it was nowhere to be seen. “It’s alright. Would you like to stay here? Oh here’s your sword” Celestia asked. “Yes thank you I might even take up residence here since I can’t return home.” I replied as I took the sword and broke it apart. “Why did you break your sword?” Twilight Sparkle asked. “It’s not my sword and the reason I broke it was to remove Hunhow the sentient destroyer from finding this place ever” I replied. “This Honhow guy doesn't sound to be that friendly” Twilight said with a hint of fear. “You are correct Twilight he has a horrible goal to remove all living things in the universe.” I replied with anger staining my voice Princess Celestia could catch. “You seem to be angry at them, may I ask why is that?” Princess Celestia asked. I let out a sigh before answering. “He...he used us to eradicate a whole race just because of his goal to rule the universe.” I paused and clenched my fists before continuing. “I also found out that he planned to kill us, the Tenno because he feared us.” I said while unleashing all my anger on a nearby tree, causing it splinter to many thousands of pieces. “Sorry about your trees” I spoke once I calmed down. “Oh I’m sorry he did that to you, and it’s okay about the trees I can get it replaced” Princess Celestia said. “I am showing you your room now. Since we need to prepare for my niece's wedding” Princess Celestia said while starting to walk. I followed her like everyone else did. "How did he disintegrate that trees with just one punch? Is he naturally that strong? I'm going to have to ask him about that later?" Twilight thought to herself. While I followed Princess Celestia towards my room where I will be staying, I noticed that all the guards I assumed are guards, gave me odd looks. We finally stopped in front of a door I presumed was my room to stay for now. “Here is the room you're going to be staying in. And I would like you to come and attend breakfast tomorrow so we can discuss a few things, Goodnight and sleep well.” she said then left with the others following her trail. I stood by the door entrance and watched them turn the corner. With sigh, they're all so nice and welcoming, I might call this home soon. I turned and entered my room. I flopped myself down on my bed and dozed off to sleep. I found myself in a lucid dream where I could control my dream. So I decided to do some training with my weapons and other fighting skills. You never know when you need to be able to fight. > Chapter 2: Preperations? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 2: Preparations? I awoke from my dream and sat up. I saw what the time was on the clock opposite to me read 6:20 am. I stood up and went into the bathroom but halted in front of the shower and wondered, "can I even take a shower and do I even need a shower?". I decided to take a shower I found out I could as the water ignored my shields and passed through them. After taking a nice warm shower and drying myself off. I decided to see if I was wearing a helmet or it’s actually my head. After a minute of figuring it out, I found it was my head and not a helmet. When the clock reached 7 in the morning I heard a knock against my door, I exited the bathroom and spoke “Yes who’s there?” The door opened as a guard stepped in and said “Breakfast is ready Sir and I am assigned to be your escort.” “Very well please lead me to the place where breakfast is being held” I said with a bow and catching a glimpse of my Syandana I hadn’t notice yet. I grabbed it and noticed it was the Izvara Syandana. After a few minutes of walking. My escort stopped in front of a huge door and peeked in, a few seconds later she said “you may enter” “Thank you, oh I never got your name?” I asked. “It’s Quick Strike.” Quick Strike said. “Thank you Quick Strike.” I said with a bow before entering. Entering I found myself in a large hall with lots of tables and chairs. I searched after Princess Celestia and found her shortly waving after me, but I noticed that she wasn’t alone at the table so I had some questions in mind. When I came to the table Princess Celestia was the one to speak first. “Good morning Rhino Prime, how was your sleep?” She asked. “Good morning to you all, I did sleep well while enjoying my lucid dream.” I looked to the others who were sitting at the table and noticed they looked younger than Princess Celestia. “Is this your family Princess Celestia?” I asked. “Yes It’s my family Princess Luna my little sister and Princess Cadence my neice.” She said while pointing to each family member. “Oh please have a seat” she added. “Thank you, and It’s nice to meet you all, I am Rhino Prime but I’m sure that Princess Celestia has told you about me, am I right?” I asked. “Yes you are, she has told us everything about you since you’ve arrived yesterday, but we would like to know more about you.” Princess Luna said. “All right I will answer your questions as best as I can.” I said while taking my seat in front of the Princess’s. “Can you tell us more about yourself like your occupation and any other information you’ll like to share” Princess Cadence asked. “Well my occupation is actually a golem but many also say we are warriors. And since the downfall of the Orokin Empire we found the relatively safety of the void our home that we tried to end the chaos between the Grinirr and the Corpus. Consequently, they found out about us they focused all of their forces against us. Then the Grinirr and the Corpus tried to eliminate us, we rise again.” I said. “Your a warrior? I do notice a weapon on your back but the other item seems to be useless and what do you mean by ‘we rise again’?” Princess Cadence asked “Yes I am a warrior, also not all weapons have to be sharp by their appearance.” Taking my Boltor Prime and setting it on the table and pointing the barrel towards myself so no harm comes to the princess if someone was to fire it. “This is my Boltor Prime. It fires bolts at speeds I do not know, but they cause a lot of damage as they strike any objects.” I grabed my Boltor and exchanged it with my Anku. “This is my scythe that I use for melee combat." To answer your question about ‘we rise again part’, you can actually say we are immortal as we come back to life after we have died.” I replied. I won’t tell them about my powers yet as I need to earn their trust first. “Can you tell us about this void place?” Princess Celestia asked. “That I can not, I’m not allowed to do so.” I replied. “I also noticed that you haven’t touched your food, is there something wrong with it?” She asked. “No there’s nothing wrong with it at all I just don’t need to eat anything” I replied. “You also have a new cape on, does it symbolize anything? Since you weren't wearing it before.” Princess Celestia asked. “This cape is actually a scarf or a syandana that is only given to those entrusted to protect the Orokin council of executors who are high ranking people like you Princess.” I replied. I don’t know how I managed to equip my syandana, I really need to find out how I did it but it has to be later. “Do...do you respect me?” Princess Celestia asked with a shocked tone. “Yes I do, I respect those who aided me when I am in need of help, I would also like to thank you for what you did yesterday” I replied with honor. “Wow, anyway thank you for your information and time, but I, Luna, Cadence and the elements need to prepare for Cadence’s wedding. You are welcome to do whatever you like, but don’t go further than the garden surrounding the castle please.” Princess Celestia said before standing up to leave but I stopped her. “May I ask who are the elements?” I asked. I got a chuckle from her but she answered “It’s the six other ponies you met yesterday Rhino Prime.” Princess Celestia answered then went on her way. While I watched them exit I went over to a window and looked out at the amazing scenery of the city located around the castle. The moment I looked out at the scenery I noticed someone or something heading right towards me from the door. I turned to see who was coming and noticed it was Quick Strike. “Hello Quick Strike, how have you been?” I asked her. “I’m doing fine thank you, You haven’t touched your food?” She asked. “No, sorry I don’t eat at all” I replied. “Do you mind If I have some, I haven’t eaten all day!” She asked. “No I do not mind, but what I do mind is people who haven’t aten their food.” I replied. I said those words while she began to eat what had been made for me. “What are you by the way?” I heard her asking me. “I am Rhino Prime a Tenno, I’m pretty much like you a warrior who fights for his/her country.” I replied. “Thank you” She replied with a small blush on her face. I sat down in front of her and admired her. “What is a mare like you doing in the guard duty?” I asked her. “Well normally a mare isn’t allowed in but Celestia made an exception because I am a single mother of two fillies and this is the quickest and easiest way to make good money.” She replied sadly. Hearing this I moved over to her side and held her. “I’m sorry if I made you feel bad about your situation, to make up for this I would like to meet your two children when I become acquainted to the new world here and also accepted into the community.” I replied with a smile. She looked up to me and gave a cute smile back. “Oh no no it’s fine, also that would be lovely, contact me when you can.” She said. “There’s a problem, I just came here yesterday and I have no idea how your contacting service works, but I have an easier way of doing so.” I replied. “And what is it?” She asked. “Void communicators which will enable us to contact each other anywhere and at any distance.” I answered her. Before she could give a reply, the door opened quickly and there stood an other guard. “Good this makes my job easier, Princess Celestia wants you both in the throne room now” He said before leaving. “Alright it seems we are needed, stop by my room so we can get the communicators installed, care to lead the way.” I said raising my hand to point to the door while bowing slightly. “Of course I will, follow me” She said with a smile plastered on her face as she started heading towards to the throne room. I followed her by two minutes we arrived in the throne room we found it to be amazingly put together for a wedding. “You asked for us your Majesty?” Quick Strike reported. “Yes I did, we’re missing a guard so I would like you to replace him, his position is situated just right below the stage if you would please station yourself there.” Princess Celestia commanded. Quick Strike saluted and went over to her position. “And you Rhino Prime could you stand up here but at the edge on the left side, also do you have anything else to wear?” She asked. “I do have an armor set I could wear I just need to find out how to access it.” I said as I moved over to the edge on her left side. “Please do.” She said. When she said those two words I started to see how I could equip them. After 20 minutes of fiddling, I found out how to equip my armor set. I just needed to think about my inventory which will be created by a flow of energy emanating from your arm or chest to create an inventory screen to pop up. When I saw the screen I directed an imaginary cursor or whatever there would be if you were in a Warframe to the right slots with my mind. So I equipped my Daedalus armor set included Daedalus shoulder plates, knee plates, and a chest plate. “There I got my armor set on.” I said to no one which got Princess Celestia's attention. “I have to admit that you look tougher with those armor plates on.” Princess Celestia said. An hour of rehearsal went by “Thank you for coming here today, tomorrow will be the day the marriage happenning so I would like you all in the same position by 9 in the morning.” She announced. All of the guards bowed and started to leave, I bowed and started to leave but the elements stayed back to talk with Celestia about some changeling threat. I exited through the door then I found Quick Strike waiting for me. “Well that was interesting” I said. “Yes, I was actually surprised that the Princess wanted you up there.” Quick Strike stated. “Hmm yeah I see your point, but anyway would you like to get the Void communicators installed?” I asked. “Sure, but I have to get back to my station after that all right?” Quick Strike said. “That is fine by me.” I said as I started heading back to my room. An hour went by, After Injecting Quick Strike She had to leave. “I will contact you when I can meet your fillies, do you also remember how to speak to me?” I asked her before she left and she replied with a yes and a smile before turning a corner. ‘Hmm what to do now?’ I stood in my room and thought for a while but made a decision to visit the royal garden. Wandering through the garden I found a great spot to meditate. After a few minutes of meditating I hear hoof steps coming from the left towards me. I stopped meditating and looked to my left and saw Twilight walking towards me. “Good afternoon Twilight” I greeted her. “Good afternoon Rhino Prime, I’ve asked Princess Celestia why she wanted you there and she told me and the other five elements that you're a warrior and that we're under attack by changelings.” She paused with a sigh before continuing “and she said she wanted you to be there and fend off the changelings if they broke through the shield barrier.” She told me. “That is a big problem, what do these changelings want with this peaceful country? an what do the look like?” I asked. “They are parasites which feed of love the ponies generate and do you see the dots that's hitting the shield?” she asked. “Yes I can.” I replied, only seeing dots I used my zoom in ability (the same thing as you zoom in using a gun) to better see the changelings in detail. “Alright I understand I will do what I can to protect this country.” I replied. “I also want to inform you about something” She said. “Yes go on you can tell me.” I said with a bit of confusion. She waved me down, so I did as she asked. “I believe that Princess Cadence is an Imposter and the real Princess Cadence is trapped somewhere below the castle, so I would be happy if you kept my disappearance covered up, as I go and look for the real Princess.” She stated. “Hmm it sounds risky but I will go along with it.” I said with worry. “Thank you, thank you , thank you so much!!!” Twilight shouted. “I’m going to have to go and prepare. See you!” She said while leaving. I looked up to the barrier and noticed it’s already getting dark “ I hope that barrier can hold another day.” I said out loud to no one particular as I headed back into the castle. > Chapter 3: The Wedding > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 3:The wedding. The next day came and the sun shone through the window on my face. I slowly woke up and noticed the time was 06:30 in the morning. ‘Fish sticks only got 30 minutes before I have to be there.’ I thought to myself. So I decided to take a quick shower but I was halfway done I heard knocking. “Yes! who’s there?”I asked. “It’s Princess Celestia, may I come in?” She asked. I quickly finished taking a shower, and walked into my room. “Sure, Please come in.” I replied with that she entered. “So what can I do for you Princess?” I asked. “I just want to see if you were awake.” Princess Celestia asked. I gave a small chuckle to that “Princess you do not need to worry about me I will be there, but I hope that’s not the only reason why you came here?.” I asked. ‘Sigh’ “Yes you're right I came here to inform you that I will also be introducing you to the population right after the wedding.” She said. “That is perfectly fine with me the faster I can gain the trust of the population the quicker I can get things done!” I said excitedly. “I’m glad that you're excited but what do you want to get done?” She asked. “Oh I would like to build my own dojo which is actually my home and many other things I need to plan” I replied. “Alright but I have to think about it after the wedding.” She said with skepticism. “It’s all right but we need to head to the throne room so the wedding can start on time.” I replied as I headed towards the throne room where the wedding will be held. “Yes I agree, let’s go.” Princess Celestia said as she followed me. The trip towards the throne room was mostly quiet, except for the few questions Celestia asked. Naturally I answered them unless if it anything about the void. I also remembered to equip my Syandana and my armor set. When we entered we got to our positions and did two more rehearsals. The second ended just in time as it was almost time. All the different ponies going to attend the wedding went to their spots at the sides of the room, While they did so I got stares. There was a few minutes of silence then the bells started to ring and the groom standing up here acting weird. The doors sprung up revealing three fillies skipping along the red carpet followed later by Princess Cadence herself. After Princess Celestia asked the groom and bride a few questions, the two lucky ponies were about to say ‘I do’ as the door swung open. Revealing Twilight shouting stop and followed by the real Cadence. She started to explain why she was the real one and the one on the stage is an impostor. The one on the staged revealed herself and explained her evil plan. Princess Celestia took actions and shot a beam at the changeling queen called Chrysalis. It was met by Chrysalis own beam then started to loose but the unexpected thing happened. The beam started pushing Celestia’s back and met her horn and sent Celestia flying and harming her greatly. I saw this was my time to take actions when I saw the changeling queen beat Celestia. So I got my Boltor out and fired a few shots at her. It missed her, immediately she teleported out of the way and ended up behind me and blasted me in the back sending me flying and taking two hundred shield strength away from my shields. 'If she’s gonna bombard me with beams, I’m going to use my abilities but not my fourth ability Rhino Stomp which will level the whole place as I have my strength build on right now, so I’ll stick with the other three abilities.’ And of course she did bombard me with lasers so I casted my iron skin while I get covered in golden armor that absorbed the blast for 3 secs and adding them to my iron skin for 30k extra armor health. With the two strength mods increasing the heath up to 6k added to the 7 armor multiplier increases it to 42k with the extra 30k from Chrysalis adds up to 72k armor health for my iron skin. Having only used 150 energy thanks to my blind rage mod which decreases my power efficiency ending up with 250 energy left. As my shields regenerated, like I need them now I switched for my Anku and noticed the six elements are missing and a pile of dresses on the floor so I got worried, but I need to deal with the queen first. I used my charge ability to strike Chrysalis and caught her off guard at my sudden change in speed sending her flying off the stage and slamming into a wall before sliding down, shortly after she got up and pissed at me. “HOW DARE YOU ATTACK THE QUEEN OF EQUESTRIA !” she shouted at me. “You're not queen yet bug” I replied and ran towards her causing her to shoot beams at me to no avail. “What is this, how are you not being hurt!?” She asked stunned. “I have a formidable defense bug.” I replied as I swung my scythe at her. She barely dodged in time and resulted with a cut to her left leg. “Arrrg!!” She screamed “Buck you alien monster!” She shouted as she stood with a bleeding leg. She launched herself at me open mouth and fangs out ready to bite me. I raised my arm to get her to bite my arm instead ended up with her fangs braking off. “Arrgg!!!” “mphahh!!” She tried to say as her mouth was filled with green blood. “Have a good night sleep.” I said when I knocked her out. While I did that the main six entered captured by two changelings. “My queen look...” A changeling guard was going to say something else before he saw her queen motionless on the floor. “What did you do to our queen?” They asked. “Same things are going to happen to you.” I said as I cast roar and roared in the air sending out sound waves giving a buff to all the guards, elements princesses and myself. Dropping energy pod giving me enough energy to charge the changelings so that's what I did. Hitting them both so hard they died immediately as they disintegrated into nothing. Looking at the elements I saw they are tied up. “Rhino Prime is that you” Twilight Sparkle asked shocked. I nodded and started to untie their bindings. In the mean time I finished untying Fluttershy, more changelings arrived. I grabbed my Boltor and started taking them down with two bolts to the chest and some head shots killing them instantly. The main six went free all the guards that have been captured and Princess Cadence as well. I didn’t see the whole thing so I couldn’t tell you what happened. As I continued shooting at all the changelings that arrived I felt something go over me and restoring my energy which turned out to be a pink barrier of some sort. As it hit the changelings and the changelings corpses including Chrysalis were sent flying away, ‘looks like the fight’s over better see to the princesses.’ I thought. I got near the main six who were chatting with Princess Cadence and her groom while I got close enough they all turned towards me. Princess Cadence’s groom thinking that I was a monster trying to take over Canterlot prepared a beam spell. “Wait! He helped us defeat the changelings” Twilight shouted before they could do something foolish. “Wait he did?” The stallion asked. “Yes He did, we found him yesterday extremely hurt so we helped him. He helped us here so he paid his debt off I think” Twilight Sparkle said with speculation as she looked at me. “No I didn’t I only payed half of the debt I owed you six and Princess Celestia.” I replied. “Oh okay, oh maybe I forgot to check on Princess Celestia.” Twilight said as she ran over to check on Princess Celestia. “May I ask who you are? and what you are?” The stallion asked. “I am Rhino Prime, I am a Tenno and may I also ask who are you?” I replied as I deactivate my Iron Skin and roar running out. “I’m Shining Armor Captain of the Royal Guard.” Shining armor replied. I was about to reply but was cut short by Celestia as she came over. “Thank you Rhino Prime for fending off the changelings and saving my country.” She said. I noticed that she has some bruises as she talked to me. “You're very welcome but are you going to be alright?” I asked. “I’m going to be fine a good night’s rest will do just fine.” She said. “If you say so.” I replied getting rid of all my concerns for now. Princess Celestia went and stood above the stage and said “It’s been a long day for all of us the wedding will resume again tomorrow at the same time but we all earned a good night's rest, farewell my little ponies.” She said. Every pony went except for the guards, Princesses, the elements and me. “You were so awesome!” Rainbow dash shouted as she flew towards my face. “Like how you roared and charged those disgusting bugs!” She said. “Umm Thanks…” I replied and creeped out. “Oh Oh Oh I like how you were covered in gold before you were so shiny!” Pinkie Pie said. “Thanks…” I said as I look at Princess Celestia who gave chuckle. “Well I think it’s best if we all go and rest for tomorrow.” Princess Celestia said. “Alright!” The elements replied in unison as they left. “Thank you Princess but I will take my leave” I replied. “You're welcome” She said as I started to leave. When I came out the door I was stopped by Twilight Sparkle. “Um Rhino Prime I would like to ask you a few questions.” Twilight Sparkle spoke. “Sure what would you like to know?” I asked. “It’s that you were covered in gold before and now you aren’t same goes with the sudden change in your speed for several secs as you charged those changelings, how are you able to do those things?” She asked. “I have 4 special abilities three of them I used today the first was Charge which is what it’s sounds like I’ll just charge the enemy if I hit them deal massive amounts to them and having a chance of disintegrating them. Second is Iron Skin which insulates me from taking damage until it’s worn out from constant battering or I dispel it. My third Roar is very simple I’ll roar sending energy wave which gives a damage boost to me and my allies in an area. And last called Stomp I’ll stomp the ground causing a large area around me to shatter if any hostile force are caught in this area will be lifted up staying there for a while while receiving gigantic amounts of damage, but if the so called hostile forces are weak enough they will immediately die from the shock wave.” I explained as I noticed she had a notepad out which she was holding. “Wow interesting… you sure do know how to fight, anyway thank you for your time.” She replied. “You're welcome but I will be needing some rest goodnight.” I said turning to head back to my quarters. “Good night!” Twilight shouted after me. I reached my room I locked the door and visited the lucid dream world. The next day I awoke at 6 a.m. and did my morning routine. After I finished I went to the throne room and got into my position and awaited for the wedding to begin. So it did and everyone seemed to have rested well. Every thing went like yesterday except for the battle with Queen Chrysalis and soon came my introduction. “I thank you all for attending but before we can go on to the party there is someone I would like to introduce he calls himself Rhino Prime. Rhino Prime would you like to say a few words.” Princess Celestia introduced me. Walking up next to Princess Celestia “Thank you Princess, yes my name is Rhino Prime I’m a Tenno a master of gun and sword. I am one out of 39 different Warframes out there but there are many of us.” I spoke. I heard some murmurs about me while I returned to my position. “Thank you Rhino Prime now let the party begin.” Princess Celestia said. Every pony left the throne room and went down to the gardens (including me). The music started when we all were here. I heard a female voice saying “Don’t touch that it’s a sword!” I heard those words I immediately went in that direction. Seeing a mare which is a pegasus with a young colt looking at the Broken War and the other pieces from the war. I came closer until they noticed me and started to back away in fear. “No need to be afraid Miss, I mean you no harm but I overheard your conversation about this sword.” I said pointing to the broken sword that laid on the ground. “A-alright it’s just you look so frightening.” She said. I gave a chuckle before I spoke “It’s ok I get that a lot because I’m a warrior that is meant to strike fear into the enemy’s heart whenever they see me coming, but if you get to know me I'm a nice guy. By the way my name is Rhino Prime.” “Oh I’m Snow Flake and this is my sister's colt Lightning Strike.” She said as she stepped a bit closer and Lightning Strike looking up at me in awe. “And this broken sword who’s is it” She asked. “It’s good to know you both and this was the sword that’s called War but I broke it after I got it out of me because Stalker impaled me with it.” I said as I picked up the parts. “Wait you got impaled?” She said shocked bring up a hoof to her mouth. “Yes right here” I said as I pointed to the middle of my torso. “Oh my you poor thing.” She said while touching the spot where I just pointed. I was about to reply but Celestia spoke first. “Alright every pony it’s getting late now and the party’s over have a great night!” “Oh look at that time sure fly’s fast when having fun” I said. Turning back to the mare I saw she was thinking hard and a bit sadness hidden between all those thoughts. “Snow Flake are you alright?” I asked. “It’s just Lightning Strike and I have no place to stay right now since we came from Ponyville.” She said while looking at the ground. “Well you can come and stay with me in my room at the castle, I’m sure that Celestia won’t mind.” I said. “You’ll let us stay with you?” She said, her mood perking up immediately. “Yeah let’s go” so we went. After a walk and convincing a few guards we arrived at my room. Entering I saw a maid have been here because everything was neat and clean. “Welcome to my den!” I said excitedly. “You two can have the bed I’ll just meditate all night” I spoke. “You're too kind you know that” She said while walking over to the bed with Lightning Strike. “I’m kind to those who are kind and aren’t like those snobby uptight nobles” I replied with a bit of anger. “Anyway good night you two” I said. “Good night Rhino Prime.” They said at the same time. So I went and meditated between the bed and the television and managed something amazing. > Chapter 4: Connection > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 4: Connection. I went of to sleep, entering my lucid dream world as usual. In my dreaming world I saw a small dot in the distance. During my watching the dot I noticed it was getting closer in the mean time it grew. When It was getting close enough for me to notice my jaw would have dropped if I had a mouth, it was the one and only, our mentor/mother figure the Lotus! She stood right in front of me even though I’m taller than she gave me a hug which I returned. “My child I’ve finally found you, I saw your signal disappear from the Orbiter I got so worried about you.” she said and let’s go “But your signal popped up on this long forgotten planet a few times so I thought I could get to you through the lucid dream connection.” She said. “It’s nice to see you again Lotus I’ve found myself in a native city which I have saved from an Invasion I have also gained their trust” I said. I don't really like her but I have to keep up this facade to keep her from labeling me as a traitor. “You have done good my child, can you try to build a Dojo that orbits the planet so we can have an outpost there.” she asked. “I will have that done but there will be a problem since I can’t reach space without the liset or the orbiter.” I said. “I have already sent Ordis to your location yesterday. He should be arriving at these coordinates.” she said and she gave me the coordinates which I noticed it’s the throne room. “Thank you very much Mother.” I said as I tried to hide my hatred against her which worked out well. “You're welcome my child but it’s about time you wake up as your female friend is trying to wake you.” She said then disappeared. At first I wondered about what Lotus said but then it hit me the guest I have in my room. I woke up and saw Snow Flake on top of me trying to resuscitate me which looked like she’s kissing me every now and then and trying to press my chest to make me breathe. I stayed silent for now to see how long she will go on. But my horrible luck always hitting me on the head for hoping it didn’t last long. “How do you even revive a Tenno?” she asked. “Actually we revive ourselves, and has anyone told you how beautiful you look when you kiss?” I said. She got a huge blush going across her cheeks. (She has pure snow white fur a dark blue mane/tail with a light blue stripe going down the right side of her mane/tail and a snowflake for a cutie mark.) “Wait how long were you awake?” she asked. “Depend on how long you tried to resuscitate me” I replied. “Um for 2 minutes” She replied softly as her blush grew. “Then I have seen the most of it as I have been awake for 1 minute and 30 secs now.” I said as her face went completely red. “I think it’s about time we get going though.” I said. “Alright” she said as she got of me. “Thanks” I said, getting up and removing my armor plates but leaving my syandana on. “I wanted to thank you for letting us stay with you over the night.” She said but mainly watched the ground but looking up at me every now and then. “You are very welcome my friend.” I said and I hear rumbling coming from Lightning Strike, so naturally we turned our heads and looked at him. “Um sorry I’m just very hungry right now.” he said as he looked away. “Well I can show you all to the canteen to get some food.” I said. “That would be wonderful!” Lightning Strike shouted. “All right follow me and hope I don’t get lost in this maze of a castle.” I said which gained a chuckle from Snow Flake. So we started on our journey to the castle canteen. Luckily for us I didn’t get lost so we got there pretty fast. When a maid came up to our table to ask what we needed. Lightning Strike and Snow Flake asking for pancakes and the maid happily got for them. I just sat on my chair and watched them both eating but mainly Snow Flake I found her attractive for some weird reasons. I made a stare at Snow Flake even more and she noticed causing her to stop eating. “Um Rhino Prime are you alright?” she asked. I woke from my stares “Huh?” “Why are you staring at me like that?” She asked. “Oh um it’s just I find you attractive for some reasons, but you are a very beautiful mare.” I said. “Oh um...thank you” she said as a blush started to form again. “I would like to go now so I can catch a train to Ponyville before midday.” She said. “All right I’ll see you to the door of the castle, myself I get something to be done too.” I replied. So we stood up and left the canteen heading towards the main entrance to the castle. Snow Flake and I had a conversation about what I said in the canteen. ‘Sigh’ “I’m sorry Snow Flake I didn’t mean to make you feel bad about it.” I said. “It’s ok Rhino, is it ok if I call you Rhino?” She asked. “I’m fine with that as long I can call you Snow.” I replied. “It’s all right all my friends call me Snow.” She replied. “Um...I aa..never mind.” She said while we reached the door. “Can you find the train station on your own from here?” I asked. “Yes I can thank you for your hospitality.” She replied as she started to leave. “You are very welcome.” I said and waved, watching her go. ‘Do I break the Tenno code if I start a family? Am I even allowed to get married?’ I asked myself. ‘Going to have to ask Lotus about it later, now to the throne room.’ When I headed to the throne room I saw the main six come running the same way but from their rooms. “What's the hurry girls?” I asked. “Oh the Princess called for us there this big huge grey thing just hovering by the balcony of the throne room.” She said as they all ran of. ‘Must be my ship’ I thought then I ran after them. Entering the throne room I saw them all on the balcony looking at my ship and talking among themselves. So I went over to them catching their attention. “Good morning Rhino Prime.” Princess Celestia spoke. “Good morning to you too.” I replied “what do you think about my ship?” I asked. “You’re ship?” Twilight asked. “Yes my ship” I replied. “It’s beautiful, so elegant in design, I didn’t know you had a taste for this kind of thing.” Rarity said. “Oh no I don’t have a taste for this kind of thing, I’m not even the one who built it.” “Then who did build it?” Rarity asked. “The Orokin built it a thousand years ago.” I answered her. “Wait if they built it a thousand years ago, you must be ancient.” Twilight asked shocked. “To be exact I’m 1550 years old” I said. “You're older than Princess Celestia…” Twilight said. “Ok… Princess where may I land my ship?” I asked. “There’s an open area in the garden at the west side of the castle you may land your ship there.” She replied. “Thank you very much.” I said. “All right Ordis head to the open area at the west side of the castle and land in the pen area there.” I said to Ordis over the coms. “Umm Rhino Prime who are you talking to?” Twilight asked while my ship went over to land at the west side of the caste. “I was speaking to Ordis” I replied. “Ordis? who’s Ordis?” she asked again. “Ordis is my A.I. or Artificial intelligence that’s controlling my ship.” I replied. “WOW! Artificial intelligence! that's amazing you created life!” Twilight said excitedly. “How about I show all of you around my ship?” I asked them. “That would be wonderful Rhino Prime” Celestia said. “All right let’s go” I said heading towards my ship with the others in tow. Now we stood in front of my ship the Orbiter, not the liset because Ordis had decided to bring the whole ship down instead of the stealth pod. “This is my ship an Orbiter class ship which has a stealth pod attached to it I use to enter combat.” I said while going to the side of my ship, a ramp opened up leading to the bridge of the ship. When we all were inside I introduced them to Ordis. “Ordis Introduce yourself to the guests.” I said. “Greetings! I’m Ordis the companion of my Operator!” He said. “Thank you Ordis” I said. “Now this is the bridge of the ship where I buy things from the market, keep information and set the course of my ship.” I said but kneeling at the front of the bridge showing them how I set the course of my ship which stunned them as planets popped up. “These are the planets of my solar system.” I spoke. “Ohhh” I heard. “What’s your home planet?” Twilight asked. I pointed to a green and blue planet called Earth “Earth it’s the home planet to all Humans” I said. “I thought you said you are Tenno?” Princess Celestia asked. “Tenno is what we call ourselves but my race is Human” I replied. I stood up and made the planets disappear. I walked to the rear of my ship then lowered a ramp to the lower section of the ship. They followed me down I introduced the foundry modding station and arsenal to them by showing what they can do. “First the foundry it’s where I store all my blueprints for Warframes, weapons, and other things the foundry also is the place where I build my items, the modding station is where I can upgrade my mods which are used to upgrade myself and my weapons, finally my arsenal is how I equipped all my weapons and change Warframes.” Mentioning my arsenal caught the attention of Prince Shining Armor as he looked over my items. “What's further down?” Rainbow Dash asked. “That’s off limits as it has a small amount of void energy which might have a bad effect on you” I lied and Apple Jack caught it. “It’s no use lyng to us Rhino Prime” Apple Jack said. “Rhino Prime what’s down there?” Princess Celestia asked. “I do not wish to show you.” I said sternly. “All right if you insist.” Princess Celestia said. “The tour is finished.” I said and walked out with everyone or every pony as they stayed here. “Princess Celestia may I talk to you in private?” I asked then I walked into my ship she followed. “Yes? is something wrong?” She asked. “No but have you decided where I can place my Dojo?” I asked. “Yes you can place it at the field near Ponyville.” She said. “But Celestia the Dojo will be up there in space in sync with the rotation of this planet.” I said. “Oh another celestial body? how about the moon will it collide with this Dojo?” Princess Celestia asked. “Oh no the Dojo will be placed further away from the planet to avoid collision with the moon.” I said. “Then you have my permission” She said. “Thank you.” I thanked. We both left the ship I stayed near the ship for a while as all of them went their own way. ‘might as well keep my promise to Quick Strike’ I thought. So I went looking after her. After a while I found her at her post by my door. “Still here at your post Quick Strike?” I teased. “Unfortunately yes” Quick Strike replied with a smile. “Well I have time from now to meet your kids.” I said. “Well you're going to have to wait for another hour until my shift ends.” She replied. “Alright I’ll be in my room come and get me when you're ready." I responded. > Chapter 5: Something New > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 5: Something New. After speaking with Quick Strike I entered my quarters and waited for her to enter when she was done for the day. While I waited I did some calculations for the placement of the Dojo where it exits the void. My Dojo was owned by my clan named Phoenix Team which was a moon size clan with 750 members. It meant I had to place it quite far away from the planet itself. An hour passed, I was suddenly ripped away from my thoughts at the same time I heard knocking at the door then went to answer it. Opening the door I saw Quick Strike waiting at the door. “You're ready to see my family?” She said. “Always I am, my lady.” I said with a bow. “Oh a gentle colt.” She teased me and I returned with a smile starting following her down the hall. “You said you have two fillies?” I asked. “Yes I do the most wonderful fillies I have ever had.” She replied. “How old are they?” I asked. “The youngest is at five and the oldest is at the age of nine.” She replied. “Wait you leave your kids at home all alone?” I asked. “No I get a foal sitter watch them when they come back from school.” she replied. “Foal sitter…?” I asked. “A foal sitter is a pony who comes and watches your kids while you're away.” She replied with an annoyed tone. “Why are you moody now? Was it something I said?” I asked. ‘Sigh’ “How could you not know what a foal sitter is?” She asked. “Well I have been fighting wars all my life.” I said. “Oh...You said wars how many did you fight in?” she asked. “Two major wars one of them is still going on, which I need to get back to.” I said. “How can you handle that much violence?” she asked. “I have been trained to do so and it’s also a part of life” I answered. “Oh…” She replied. “Anyway let’s end the war questions and ask some more practical questions.” I said. “All right ummm what’s your age?” she asked. “I’m twenty five years, I have been told that it’s rude to ask the age of a girl but I’m gonna ask anyway so what’s yours?” I said. “Same here.” She said. “Oh were here already.” She said as we stood in front of her house with two stories tall and the usual color scheme of Canterlot white based color and with some decor but since it’s dark I couldn’t see the color of the decors. “Great! can’t wait to meet your family!” I said. “I’m glad you're excited.” She said as she unlocked the door and held it opened for me. “Thank you.” I said as I entered. “You're welcome” She said as she closed the door behind us. “Kids I’m home and I have a guest come and meet him!” She shouted. “Mommy!” I hear a voice around a corner as I waited. After 2 minutes of waiting a Unicorn filly with a red coat and pink mane and a pagasus mare at the age of nine with the color of light blue coat with a snow white mane and a stripe of red in the middle of her mane came around the corner. “Hi Mooommm…” The oldest of them said as she noticed me and fear spread across her face. “Greetings” I said. “Um Mom who’s that?” The oldest asked. “He is a Tenno named Rhino Prime and he’s the one who repelled the queen of the changelings and the changeling army.” Quick Strike said which made their mouths drop. “May I acquire your names?” I asked. “I’m Red Rose!” The youngest said with excitement. “Umm I’m Blue Sky.” The oldest said. “It’s nice to meet your acquaintance” I said. “Are you going to be our dad?” Red Rose asked. Quick Strike and I gave a chuckle at the filly’s innocence. “No, not yet at least.” I said as Quick Strike took of her armor which changed her coat color to pink and the mane to red with a blue stripe going down the left side. “How…..?” I asked while pointing at Quick Strike. “Oh my coat change? It’s an enchantment on my armor which changes my coat color to white and blue mane.” She replied. “Oh…” I said stunned. “Please make yourself comfortable.” Quick Strike said. “Thank you.” I said and went to sit on a couch which gave a squeak when I sat down. They came and sat on both of my sides the kids to my right and Quick Strike to my left. All of us sat there asking questions to each other as time passed we had dinner except for me since I couldn’t eat. Then back to more questions by then it got pretty late. “Oh look at the time it’s nine thirty in the evening.” Quick Strike said. “Kids it’s time for you all to head to bed.” She said. “Awwww but Mom!” They whined. “No buts” She said. “Finee…” They whined. “Well I better get going then.” I said. “No you can’t it’s dark outside you can sleep here.” She said. “I’m sure I can find my way back to my ship” I replied. “I insist that you stay.” She said. “All right if you insist” I said. “Where may I stay?” I asked. “Um we don’t have any guest rooms so you could share the bed in my room...with me.” She said. This caught me off guard because I never got asked to bed with a female of any kinds. “Umm...Sure…” I said. “Great! This way” She said to follow and I did. As we entered I saw her room. The room was decorated with the same decor as outside but with paintings and furniture. The furniture was a closet standing up against the wall ahead of me a king sized bed to its right with cupboards surrounding it. To my right was another cupboard with a T.V. set on top. “Nice room” I said. “Thank you” She said as she laid down on the bed with a seductive pose and patting to the side where I was going to lay down. “ Also wanted to thank you for letting me stay here.” I said as I sat on the edge of the bed. “No problem.” She said as she pulled me down so I was lying down on my back with her holding the side of my torso. “Um Quick Strike I think it’s a bit too early for this, you barely know me.” I said getting her to stop and prop her head up with her hoof looking at me. “Well then let’s get to know each other better then.” She said. “Hmm wow I see what you're trying to come here and it’s working I told you what I am and what I do you should have figured out which is fighting, but you don’t know what I fight for and against.” I said. “Which are…?” She asked. “I fight for peace to end the conflict between all factions fighting it the Corpus the Grinirr and the Tenno which is my faction. I fight the Corpus the Grinirr and the Infested.” I said. “Wow and you face that every day?” She asked. “ Yes I do.” I said with a nod. “Wow” She said as she stared at me. “Well tell me more about yourself.” I said. “Well It’s not much but all I do is stand at my post and keep look out and look intimidating that pretty much my job since I’m a mare.” She said. “Wow, but why is that?” I asked. “Because mares aren’t allowed to join the Royal Guard.” She said. “Ohh…” I wondered of in thought. ‘we do have 250 extra space in the Dojo should I even try and recruit these ponies?’ I thought. “Um Rhino Prime hello??” Quick Strike said while waving a hoof in front of my face. “Oh what?” I said confused. “What happened? are you okay?” She asked. “Oh I’m fine, just lost in thought.” I said. “I wanted to ask you how did you get two daughters if you're single?” I asked. “Oh...um I got….raped…” She said as she started to cry. “It’s okay I’m sorry I asked, let it all out” I said as I held her. We sat there for a while before going to sleep. The Next Day I was the first to wake and got out of bed as Ordis spoke up. “Operator there’s an Identified ship drifting towards Equis and is about to enter the aaaaaatmospheeerrreeee.” Ordis said. “Ordis what ship is it? and are you alright?” I asked. “Yes Operator I’m finnneeeee and the ship is an Orokin Cruisssseeeerrrrr.” Ordis said. “All Right when it makes contact with the ground mark it’s location.” I said as Quick Strike woke. “Yes Operator” Ordis replied. “Thank you” I said. “Who are you talking to?” Quick Strike asked. “Ordis” I replied. “Ordis who’s Ordis?” She asked. “He’s an A.I. onboard my ship and before you ask and A.I. stands for artificial intelligence.” I said. “Oh…” She said. “I’ll be going, some business I need to take care of.” I said. “What already! Why?” She asked. “Like I said need to take care of some business.” I said as I headed for the main door which got Quick Strike to follow. “Good bye Quick Strike I hope I can see you soon!” I said before leaving. “Good bye Rhino Prime See you soon!” She shouted after me and waving me off. A few minutes later I was heading to the castle while the Orokin ship came soaring across the sky and crashed in a nearby forest. So I hurried to my ship to equip my Galantine, my Penta and my Talons. After equipping my weapons Ordis flew me to the crash site. I landed at the crash site then I saw the burnt and turn armor platings of the ship. I scanned the whole ship and found out that this was one of the lucky ships that didn’t get infected but what could have caused the ship to drift in space? I wandered the ship until I found a room filled with Cryo Pods and saw a console to my left and the battery of the ship still giving power to the console. I looked at the console I saw that one of the Cryo pods was occupied. I pressed the release button and caused a Cryo pod to my right to hiss and pop open. I rushed over to the Cryo pod and saw an Orokin citizen fall out from the pod who I caught and sat him down leaning against another pod. I stood over him as he awoke shortly after he came out. “What ! , did we win?” He mumbled. “Easy you're waking up from cryosleep” I said. “Thanks what’s your name…..wait I recognize you, you're a Warframe, a Rhino Prime series.” He said. “Yes I am a Rhino Prime. I’m also called by that so it’s also my name.” I replied. “Oh I see, my name is Hakkar or you can call me Rabbit.” He said. I noticed he’s wearing a white cloak which was closed with three golden rings at the top. The cloak had a hod on with rabbit like ears drooping down from the hod going all the way and stopping at his lower back on each end of the ears there are golden rings attached. I finally noticed he was also wearing a black robe underneath from the small gap at the top of the cloak. And he’s bare footed as all other Orokin citizens was in their time. He had a Carrier Prime floating above him as it came out of a storage container which it shot through to get out. “We can’t stay here there’s a native settlement nearby I’ll need to take you there before we can ask questions.” I said. “Okay” Hakkar said and tried to stand but failed because he was still sick from cryo sickness. Then came the sound I did not want to hear. Stalker has arrived. But I noticed he’s only level 5 when he spawned. “I’ll be your reckoning!” Stalker said. “Not today buddy.” I replied but I heard other voices I noticed it was the voices of the mane six. I was distracted and Stalker attacked. He managed to hit me before I swang my Galatine and taking half his health with it. By then the mane six was witnessing the fight. Stalker came again but this time I was prepared with one hand I swung my sword and defeated him. But as usual he would disappear in a smoke leaving things behind. Credits a useless mod but then jack pot! The War BluePrint! “Rhino Prime I didn’t know you were here and who was that you fought against?” Twilight asked. “That was a rogue Tenno called Stalker. I’m here because this is an Orokin ship.” I replied. “But I found an Orokin citizen that goes by the name Hakkar” I said pointing to Hakkar who waved back. “Oh are there more?” She asked. “No I could only find him.” I said as I went to pick him up. “There you go now let's get out of here.” I said. “Thank Rhino Prime” Hakkar said. “No problem.” I Replied. While we exited the wreckage I saw Princess Celestia and a platoon of guards waiting. I walked up to Princess Celestia and said “Greetings Princess it’s nice to see you again.” “Hello Rhino Prime nice to see you too, may I ask who’s that you got in your arms?” She asked. “Princess I introduce you to Hakkar an Orokin citizen and maybe the only survivor since the downfall of the Orokin Empire.” I said. “Okay but I don’t remember sending you here?” She asked. “It’s my business as it’s the property of the Tenno.” I said. She stared at me for a while as she thought. “All right fine, but what are you going to do with the wreck and Hakkar here?” She asked. “With the wreckage I’ll see if I can get some data or all out of the computers then I’ll take it apart and use what I get for spare parts. With Hakkar I’ll need to aid him as he’s suffering from cryosleep sickness then a talk later.” I said. “All right you may go.” She said as she headed down to inspect the wreck herself. “Ordis bring the Orbiter here I’ve got a patient” I said to Ordis over the com link. “Yes Operator” Ordis replied. A few minutes passed as the Orbiter came over to my location and landed. I went in side, down the ramp and pressed a button by my arsenal which replaced it with a medical bed but more modern. I placed Hakkar on the bed and told him to lay down as I ran diagnostics on him. > Chapter 6: The Survivor > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 6: The Survivor. I watched Hakkar sleep in the medical pod for a while. As I decided to build the War heavy sword Ordis notified me that there was someone trying to get in. I went to see who it was, lowering the ramp from the side of the cockpit down. I stood at the end of the ramp looking for the one who tried to enter my ship and I saw Princess Celestia still trying to get in I gave a fake cough to get her attention. “You know you can just knock on the hull.” I said. “Oh I knew that.” She said as a blush came over her face. Which I gave a chuckle to “Anyway do you want anything?” I asked. “Yes I came here to ask about Hakkar.” She said. “I believe you can ask him yourself when he wakes up.” I said. “And why can’t you tell me yourself?” She asked. “Because I know as much as what I told you that he’s an Orokin survivor named Hakkar and probably at the age seventeen.” I said. “Okay, but there’s one more thing I feel like there’s a secret you're hiding.” She said. I stayed silent for a while watching her as I contemplated if I should show her about my real self which I decided to do so. “It would be better if I showed you.” I said as I went inside with her in tow. We entered the chamber to where the transference pod was. “What is this, it feels so cold and evil…” She said. “That you are feeling is void energy, This room is connected to the void” I said. “Oh...but what's that?” She asked then she pointed to the pod while it opened. “That is a transference pod.” I said at the moment she saw my real self a sixteen year old boy sitting in the pod. “Who’s that?” She asked. “That is myself.” I said. “What... how? She said. “Let me show you.” I said before I disconnected from my Warframe after that I stood up from the transference pod. “Greetings!” I said. She stood there silent and frozen with a shocked face for a while before speaking “H...h...how?” She said. “I control my Warframes by the use of void energy through this transference pod.” I replied. “Okay this is a lot to take in.” She said. “I understand that's why, I decided to only show you all of this, for now.” I said as I sat in the pod and reconnected to my Rhino Prime Warframe. “I need some rest from this and thank you for telling me.” She said. “No problem Celestia.” I said and I followed her out. After she was gone I raised the ramp and sealed the cockpit. I returned to Hakkar who by now is fully awake. “Hey there Rhino Prime” Hakkar said. “Greetings Hakkar, how are you feeling?” I asked. “I’m feeling like I’m at the top of the world !” He replied. “That’s good to hear, I’ve wanted to ask you some questions Hakkar” I said. “What do you remember before entering cryosleep?” I asked. “I entered cryosleep because there was sentients detected in the area and the reason I snuck myself on the ship you should already know to escape the technocyte virus and the remnants of the sentients.” Hakkar answered. “Oh hmm that might also answer the next question on how did the ship lose power…” I said. “Alright what is that ring that follows you? I can detect void energy seeping from it.” I asked. “It’s a data storing device where I store all the data I encounter” Hakkar replied. “Hmm so it’s like a codex.” I said. “Yes you can say it’s like a codex” He replied. “May I ask some questions of my own?” He asked. “Sure go ahead.” I said. “Where are we?” He asked. “We're located on a long forgotten planet called Equis in a nation called Equestria the natives are ponies, there are earth ponies, unicorns and pegasus the earth ponies are just standard ponies like on earth but have increased strength, as the unicorns have horns and can wield magic through them, pegasus or pegasi have wing which enable them to fly, all of them a ruled by three Alicorns which is a mix of the three races.” I answered. “Wow such an amazing and diverse society.” Hakkar replied. “Yes it’s amazing isn’t it!” I said. “What happened after I went into cryosleep and escaped with the ship?” Hakkar asked. “Yes The Orokin empire is no more from that came the Corpus and the Grineer empire both fighting over power and control of the system but the Grineer reawakened the sentients so we're at war with them again that pretty much sums it all up.” I replied. “Wow at war again with the sentients…” Hakkar replied with sadness in his words. “Yeah I never thought that would happen too.” I said. “So what are you going to do now?” I asked. “Yeah… do the ponies know about the Orokin yet?” Hakkar asked. “Very little since I don't know much about the Orokin.” I said. “Very well then I know what I can do now.” Hakkar said. “And what is that?” I asked. “I could teach these ponies about the Orokin empire and teach them what the Orokin empire did before it fell.” He answered. “Alright I don’t see any problems with that but you’ll have to ask Princess Celestia for permission.” I said. “And who is Princess Celestia?” He asked. “She’s a white Alicorn with a rainbow mane who stands two heads shorter than me you’ll be able to find her in the castle’s throne room but she’s asleep now since it’s dark so you’ll have to wait for tomorrow to do so.” I said. “Alright…what now?” He asked. “Well I’m thinking of going over to my marefriend’s house.” I said. “Marefriend?” Hakkar said. “Marefriend is what they call girlfriend and you're allowed to come with me to.” I replied. “Thank you I’ll take that offer.” Hakkar said. “Alright then we're off!” I said. We walked in silence as we headed to Quick Strikes house for 10 minutes. When we neared I can hear shouting screaming and things being tossed around. “Come on we have to see what’s going on!” I said after that I hurried in the door. By the time I came in I saw Quick Strike tied up in a corner, tables and chairs tossed showing there was a fight before. Then I saw three stallions in the room one of them seems to be holding Blue Sky down and others stealing belongings. Then I knew what was going on, it was rape this made me mad, no not mad, furious! So I let out a roar to buff the damage output of Hakkar and I, which also got the attention of the stallions. “What is that!” One of them said. “I don’t know but it’s pissed” another said as he leapt out a window. “Coward!!” The last one shouted after him. “Who are you?” The one that was holding Blue Sky down asked. “I am a Tenno my name is Rhino Prime and I am your worst nightmare.” I said with a grim tone which made them shiver. “Come on we can take him down he’s alone.” The one to my left shouted. Apparently they haven’t noticed Hakkar yet, which is good he doesn't need to fight yet. They charged me I grab them both by their necks as they came. I slammed them both together to knock them out. I digitized them into my Hard Drive for later disposal. I saw Quick Strike and the kids holding each other while sobbing. I went over to them to comfort them the best I could. “There, there everything's okay now.” I said as I held them. They looked up at me still with tears in their eyes but I could tell they were happy to see me. “Tha...nk...thank you...Rhino...Prime.” Quick Strike said. “Thank you.” The kids said in unison. “You're welcome.” I replied. “Is there anything I can do right now?” I asked. “No we just need new furniture that's all.” Quick Strike answered. “Okay then there's someone all of you should meet, I Introduce you Hakkar.” I said as Hakkar waved. “Greetings everyone.” Hakkar said. “Hello Hakkar.” The kids said as Quick Strike looked at the ground. “Um Rhino Prime can we talk?” Quick Strike asked. “Sure” I said. “In private please.” She said while looking down at the floor. “All right lead the way.” I said. She stood up and went to her room which I followed her. Once inside I closed the door behind me then I waited for her to begin. “I don’t know what to do…” She said and she started to sob. “There there it’s okay now you don’t need to worry about anything.” I said. ‘Wow I never thought of doing this thing at all but you can’t predict the future.’ I thought. “I do need to worry they raped me, now I'm going to have a foal.” She said. I hear she was going to have a foal I stretched out my arms holding her while looking straight into her eyes. “You’re serious?” I asked. “Yes I’m serious!” She said. “I don’t know what to do, I don’t earn enough to pay for another foal and I won’t be able to take care of the other two that well anymore…” She said while she began to sob again. “I will help you out the best I can and the best way I can think of is marriage, so will you marry me?” I ask. I saw her jaw drop to the ground and I swore I heard a thud that came with it. “Yes yes yes yes yes! I will!” She shouted as she hugged me tightly and she let out a smile. “That’s good now let’s go and tell the others the news Honey.” I said. “Alright!” She said then she stood up and waited by the door. I opened the door for her and we walked out together. “So what happened?” Hakkar asked. “Well Quick Strike here is carrying a new foal because she was rapped and I decided to marry her to help her out, so we're getting married.” As the kids heard this they danced in a circle while saying we're getting a daddy over and over again. “Well Congrats to you two, you sure have made a good decision Rhino Prime since I would have probably done the same thing as you if I was in your position.” Hakkar replied. “Thank you. Now it’s already late we all need to get some sleep for tomorrow I believe it will be a busy day.” I said. “All right but where may I sleep?” Hakkar asked. “Hun can you show my friend to his room?” I asked. “Sure” Quick Strike replied then she led Hakkar to his room. I went into Quick Strike’s room and look out the window and waited for Quick Strike to return. Once she returned I spoke. “So what now?”. “What do you mean by what now hmm?” She asked. “Like your plans what you're going to do since you're having a foal.” I said. “Oh… well I’m going to have to leave my job since I’m with a foal so it’s up to you to earn all the bits for the family.” She said. “Bits?” I asked. “Bits are the currency here.” She answered. “Wow different from my currency.” I said. “Then I take it you have no bits.” She asked. “Nope but I can probably create more depending on the metal type, what are bits made of anyway?” I asked. “They're made of gold.” She answered. “Oh I gave my gold away a few days ago but I can easily get more.” I said. “You can do that? How?” She asked. “Yeah It’s easy when you're rich and having the equipment to do these things.” I said. “Wow.” She said with a yawn. “Yeah I know but it's time for us to head to bed.” I said. “All right.” She replied while she went to lie down. I joined her in bed and faced her. “Good night honey sleep well” I said as I held her close. “Good night hun” She said as she drifted of to sleep. I laid there in bed and thought for awhile. ‘Well what a very eventful day it has been, I also need to get that dojo transferred here tomorrow.’ I thought as I entered the dream world. > Chapter 7: Getting Things Done. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 7: Getting Things Done. Once I awoke from my slumber I saw Quick Strike is gone. ‘huh she’s up early’ I thought as I looked at the clock that hung over the television which showed nine thirty. ‘I overslept great’ I thought as I stood up and entered the living room. “Good morning daddy!” Red Rose Shouted as she hugged me. I chuckle and said “ Good morning Red Rose, I guess that Mom told you about what we're planning.” “Yup!” She replied as Blue Sky entered. “Good morning Dad.” She said tiredly walking right past me into the kitchen as Red Rose followed her. “Good morning to you to Blue Sky.” I said. I went after her and saw Hakkar and the kids sitting at the table while Quick Strike was making breakfast. “Good morning Hakkar.” I said as I came in. I went over to Quick Strike and kissed her on the cheek before I said “good morning hun” to her. “Good morning honey” she replied. I sat down at the table and asked “How did you all sleep tonight?” “Horrible” The kids said in unison. “Hakkar snored for a long time.” Blue Sky said. I let out a chuckle before I said “Well maybe next time Hakkar should sleep on the couch.” “I would actually like that the mattress Quick Strike gave me to lay on was stone hard but I’ll take what I can get.” Hakkar said. “Wow okay then anyways what are you all going to be doing today?” I asked. “Well I’m planning on talking with Princess Celestia once Breakfast is done.” Hakkar said. “We have school” Blue Sky said sadly. “School isn’t that bad is it? wait doesn't school start at eight?” I asked. “Well I got a letter informing that school was closed for another hour because some sort of accident happened.” Quick Strike said. “Thanks hun, and what’s happening in school that make you dislike it?” I asked. “It’s that we get bullied every day because were blank flanks.” Blue sky said as she started to cry. I moved over to her side and held her “there there let it all out, I’ll speak to those who bully you and to the teacher about this.” I spoke to her. “You...you will?” She asked. “Of course what kind of dad would not do anything for their kids or foals.” I said. “Thank you, thank you!” Blue sky shouted as she hugged me or tried since her hooves couldn’t get around my waist. “You're very welcome.” I said. “Rhino Prime what are you gonna be doing today?” Hakkar asked me. “Well I need to get the Dojo here after I solve the bullying problem and after that have a chat with the princess.” I said. “Well Good luck with your tasks.” Hakkar said. “Thanks and same to you my friend.” I said as Quick Strike brought over breakfast and sat down to my right. “Sounds like you two are busy for the day.” Quick Strike answered. “Yeah we are but any ways what are you going to be doing today?” I asked. “Well I still have my job until I get a belly and when my shift is done I’ll visit the Doctor.” She replied as everyone else started eating. “Then I hope everything goes well for you then.” I said. “Thank you.” She replied. As we all sat there I drifted of to my thoughts. ‘Hmm what would Princess celestia say if I told her of my marriage. I also hop that the ponies will react positively to the arrival of the dojo and my clan.’ I was brought out of my thoughts by Hakkar shaking my body. “Huh…?” I said. “You alright hun?” Quick Strike asked. “Yeah i’m alright was just thinking.” I replied. “All right but were done eating and the kids are ready for school so could you take them to school?” Quick Strike aske. “Sure, alright kids lets go.” I said. “Okaaay” They moaned. -On the way towards school- I had both Red Rose and Blue Sky sitting on my shoulders one side each as they played with each other. “Ow…” Red rose said as tears started to fill her eyes I noticed this and took Red rose and held her with my arms and started to sooth her. As she calmed down I held her in my arms for a while. “Blue Sky what do you have to say to your little sister?” I asked. “Um...It was an accident daad” She said. “Still what do you say when it’s an accident?” I replied. “I’m sorry sis” Blue sky said softly but enough for both of us to hear. “Thats better.” I replied. “Are you going to be alright with being up with your sis again or do you want to stay in my arms for the rest of the way?” I asked Red Rose. “Um I would like to be up with my sister again please.” She replied. “Alright here you go” I said as I put her back on my shoulder. “Thank you daddy.” She said. “You're very welcome.” I said. -At the school- As I came to the school all the other fillies saw me and ran inside. “Wow am I that frightening?” I asked no one. After a while waiting with my kids out came a Stallion with a bushy mustache similar to the baron mustache that we can use every movember. “Hello there stranger why are you here with the students of Mr.Herman?” He asked. “Greetings I’m the father of these two wonderful fillies may I also ask who you are?” I said. “I’m Lance the principal of this school and you are?” He asked. “I’m Rhino Prime a Tenno and the farther the these two.” I said as I set Red Rose and Blue Sky down. “There you go you two now go on to class.” I said. “It’s nice to meet you is there anything I can do for you?” He asked. “Yeah I would like to speak with the teacher to my kids.” I said. “For what reasons?” He asked. “There getting bullied mostly Blue Sky because she doesn't have a cutie mark.” I replied. “Allright Come with me and you can talk with him in private in his office.” He said. -Mr.Herman’s office- I waited for Mr.Herman to arrive and he did shortly. “Yes what can I do for...you…?” He said as he noticed me. “Well my fillies told me about them being bullied, mostly Blue Strike is being bullied.” I said. “Alright who's the other filly?” He asked. “Red Rose a younger sister to Blue Sky.” I said. “Do you know what they are being bullied about?” He asked. “Blue Sky told me she was being bullied because she didn’t have a cutiemark like all the others had, either you handle this problem or I will personally speak to those who bully my kids.” I said in a threatening way. “A...all..all right… sir.” He said while shaking with fear. “Good I’ll be going see you around.” I said before leaving and making my way towards my ship. It took me a while to get to my ship because it was parked quite the distance away from the school but I made it. Entering my ship I set the course for the orbit of planet Equis. “Now to get the dojo here” I said to no one in particular. “Speeeekinnng to yourself again Operator?” Ordis said. “When did you get a sense of humor on that level Ordis?” I asked. “What do you mean sir?” Ordis asked. “Because you only seem to tell one joke since I got you.” I said. “You didn’t teach me any jokes, you also didn’t joke with me either but that got fixed since Miss Pie taught me some jokes.” Ordis replied. “Wait who’s Miss Pie?” I asked. “She said her name was Pinkie Pie sir” He replied. “How did one of the elements get inside the ship?” I asked. “I do not know sir she just appeared here looking for something I do not know of” He said. “All right.” I replied. “Sir we have arrived at the optimal point for the Dojo.” Ordis spoke. “Should I start the transition?” He asked. “Yes please start the transition.” I said so I watched the process commence. It required every ounce of energy my ship was able to give so all the nonessential systems were shut down the only systems that were left powered was life support and Main systems. I was left in the dark, floating within my ship watching a gigantic golden portal with a white outline form. Once the portal fully formed my Dojo was starting to emerge. Once the Dojo was in orbit of Equis I scanned it for any damage and other anomalies. Once everything was given a thumbs up I went back to the capital of Equestria, Canterlot. ‘now the only thing left to do is to speak with Celestia. After an hour of traveling I stood in front of the throne room before I could push the door open Hakkar came out. “Greetings Hakkar how did your meeting with the princess go?” I asked. “Oh Greetings to you too Prime It went extremely well I got my own classroom at Canterlot University where I could teach about the Orokin Empire and I can start tomorrow.” Hakkar answered. “That's very nice to hear Hakkar but anyways I got a meeting with the Princess.” I said. “I wish you luck then.” He said before turning and heading elsewhere. So I pushed the doors open and entered. Inside I saw Celestia Speaking with a noble so I waited a few meters away and waited which wasn’t that long of a wait. When the noble exited the throne room I went over towards the Princess. “Greetings Princess I would like speak with you if you have a moment.” I said. “Oh hello Rhino Prime I have time what do you want to talk about?” She asked. “Oh If it's about marrying Quick Strike you do not need to worry I have allowed you to do so but I was wondering if it was possible to do the marriage at your Dojo?” She asked again. “Wait how do you know…?” I asked. I get a chuckle from Celestia before she answers. “Quick Strike came and told me about her situation and the marriage of you two.” She said. “Okay, It’s possible to arrange the marriage at the dojo about two days from now.” I said. She clapped her hooves once before speaking “That's great I’ll invite the elements, my sister, Cadence, Shining armor and Quick Strike’s family.” She said. “And i’ll invited my fellow tenno friends and the Lotus.” I said. “Who is this Lotus? isn’t it a plant?” She asked. I gave a chuckle before answering. “Dear Princess a Lotus is a plant but this Lotus Is the leader of the tenno.” I said. “Oh I forgot that but I can’t wait to meet her.” She replied. “Allright it’s about time I pick up the kids and head back home Cya at my ship in two days!” I said while I turned and left. I arrived at the school and saw Red Rose and Blue Sky waiting at the gate. As they both saw me the ran towards me while shouting “DADDY!” all the way. Catching them in a hug I asked them “How are my two favorite fillies?” “Were fine” Red Rose said. “That's good to hear.” I said while lifting them up and giving them both a piggy back ride home. “Has the bullying problem stopped yet?” I asked. “Yes daddy thank you!” They said. “That’s good to hear.” I said. -At home- I arrived home with the kids lowering them down to the floor I head over to the living room where I saw Hakkar and Quick Strike with the kids. “So how was the day for you two?” I asked Quick Strike and Hakkar. “Everything has been going well but you already know how my day has been about me getting to teach at the university.” Hakkar said. “Same thing here I just told Princess Celestia about my situation and when to talk with the doctor and got an appointment 2 weeks from now.” Quick Strike told me. “That’s great to hear from you two I have already solved the bullying problem with the kids got the Dojo in orbit which we can see right now but, it’s more beautiful at night to look at and talked with Celestia about the marriage which will happen on the Dojo if the Soul King's allows me to do so.” I said. “Well I hope they do because I would like a tour of the Dojo.” Quick Strike Asked while Hakkar just nods with agreement. “A tour you can always have at any time unless the Dojo is in lockdown mode” I said. “What can cause the Dojo to go into lockdown?” Hakkar asked. “Well two main things, first an attack on the dojo or the planet and second a Technocyte Virus infestation in this sector.” I said. “Alright thanks *Yawn* I’m going to bed now goodnight” Hakkar said. “Good night Hakkar.” Quick Strike said. “Any ways a pregnant mare like me needs her beauty sleep, are you coming?” She asked before stating “I would like to use you as a pillow you surprisingly comfy.” “Alright i’m coming but I never thought of being this comfy through all the Armor I have.” I said. After I said that Quick Strike and me snuggle in bed for a while before falling asleep in each other arms/hooves > Chapter 8: The Return Part 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 8: The Return Part 1 Next morning after having Breakfast with everyone but still sitting by the table. I glance at my mini map and saw another lotus symbol other than Hakkar and Quick Strike’s lotus symbol on the mini map. Quick strike got this after I gave her the means to speak to me over long distances. Being excited about this I went outside scanning the sky above Canterlot but saw nothing. Looking at your mini map again you saw that the marker was quite the distance away from your position. ‘How didn’t I notice this later?’ I thought. So I looked at the far distance and there I spotted it one of the newest ships a Scimitar class ship that was slowly descending down towards a village which I believe is called Ponyville as Twilight has spoke to me about it before and snowflake mentioning she lives there. I continue to watch it as suddenly I saw a part of it explode and starting to fall down heading straight for Ponyville. While I saw this I could only mutter three words which was “by the void!” I rushed inside again grabbing my weapons and telling everyone/pony i’m going out for some business I had to do. After that I ran towards my ship, once inside I shouted “Ordis set course to Ponyville NOW!”. “Yes operator” He replied while starting up the engines and setting the course for Ponyville. After 20 minutes of flying I arrive over Ponyville. I opened the ramp that leads outside and saw a full crowd standing around the crash site. I jump from the ramp falling fast. The crowd already saw my ship saw me jump of as I hear a chorus of gasps coming from them. I land hard between the crash and the ponies sending out a circle shockwave with the diameter of 2 meters sending the most unfortunate ponies that was to close sliding 30 centimeters. Shortly after I heard some groans coming from the ones that was knocked down and gasps from the rest of the crowd when they saw me standing looking over the wreck. To this I turned around and faced the crowd. I start hearing murmurs coming from the crown recognizing some of them being ‘who’s that?, what is that? why is it here?’ apparently they haven’t heard of me about the invasion and how I saved their nation. “Greetings everypony!” I said said as he saw a purple pony that was standing in front of him who wha Twilight Sparkle herself. “Greetings Twilight.” I said. “Hello Rhino Prime what brings you here today?” Twilight asked. The crowd heard this and started to murmur again. “I came here to investigate the crash of a fellow Tenno ship, by the way do you know what happened?” I asked Twilight. “Um...a...um I might have shot it down...I didn’t know it was a Tenno ship because it looks different from yours.” She said while embarrassed and drawing circles in the ground. I gave a sigh before I answered “It’s okay Twilight you didn’t know but please be careful next time if my race wasn’t busy fighting two wars at the same time you would have probably have started a war.” Hearing this Twilight’s and everypony's eye grew to sizes of pinpricks as they heard what I said. “I...I..I could have started a war…” She said with fear in her voice. “Your lucky because of your innocence i’ll let it go for now.” I said. “Thanks Rhino, is it okay if I call you Rhino?” Twilight asked. “I do not mind, now let’s see if the Tenno survived the crash in fact I feel like I have seen this ship before but can’t com to terms where I have?” I said. “Okay.” Was what I received as and answer. I found the door to the ship after walking around the ship a few times (by the few times I mean fifteen times). Walking towards the door it didn’t open which it should do to let another Tenno in when the ship has crashed. I found places where the door was sticking out a bit and started to pull at it, unsurprisingly the door came right off it’s hinges. Walking inside I saw the interior was placed to look exactly the same as mine which was weird in the way as the body of the ship from the outside seems to be smaller than the inside. “Wow never expected it to look like this.” I said with a surprised tone. “It looks exactly like your’s” Twilight said. “That’s the point from the outside the body of the ship is smaller than the inside, This Tenno needs to tell me how he did this!” I said. “What really? How?” Twilight said. “I don’t know.” I said as I heard a few moans coming from the back where their was a pile of scrap we haven’t looked through. “Hello? Any one there?” I asked. I saw that there was a Lotus marker on my mini map where the scrap pile should be located. ‘It’s a Tenno under that pile!’ I thought. “There’s a Tenno under that pile!” I shout as I ran over to the pile and began lifting the scrap metal pieces. “Really how can you tell?” Twilight asked. “It’s a thing that every Tenno has on his mini map system, which will show a lotus symbol when a Tenno is in the same sector”. I said still digging through the pile. “Oh wow your tech is amazing! I would like to know how all of your stuff works!” She said excited. “That day will come soon enough in a few days time Twilight as you, spike and the rest of the elements are invited to the wedding of Quick Strike and me at my Dojo” I said. “What your getting married!” Twilight shouted. “Yes got a problem Twilight?” I asked. “Um no not really” She replied. “Then I suggest that you don’t complain about it then.” I replied. “All right then” Twilight said. I saw the pile start to move then slowly a arm came out of it which I grab onto and started to pull up. Revealing a Tenno who was my best of friends and goes by Excaliber Prime Who had an Vectis Prime sniper rifle strapped to his back and a Scindo Prime heavy Axe attached to his left hip. Setting him down to let him stand for himself then giving him a bone crushing bear hug as I said “Friend! It’s nice to see you!” after that said I let him go. “It’s...nice...to...see you too…” He replied while trying to get his breath back. “What are you doing here?” I asked. “Actually I’m here to find you, Lotus has been worried sick about you.” He replied. “Oh really Didn’t realize it, but i’ve been having a great time here, even got a family started!” I said. “Wait WHAT!” He yelled. “Yeah…” I replied. *Sigh* “sorry I overreacted a bit but congrats!” He said. “Thanks man!” I said while patting his left shoulder with my right hand. “But what’s with the purple pony with a horn behind you?” He asked. Which made twilight frown. “Oh this is Twilight Sparkle she is an unicorn and one of the elements.” I said. “I think she can explain everything while we head to her place.” I said. “Oh Almost forgot Twilight Sparkle this is Excaliber Prime we are best of friends.” I added. “It’s nice to meet you Excaliber.” Twilight said. “It’s nice to meet you too but would you be so kind to answer my questions?” Excaliber Prime said as we started walking towards Twilight’s house with Twilight leading the way. We at last reached Twilight’s house. “So you're saying that this land Equestria is ruled by two princesses name Celestia and Luna?” Excaliber Prime Asked. “Yes that is correct.” Twilight said as she opened the door for us to enter. We had to crouch this time because the doors here weren't that big as the doors in Canterlot were. Once inside Spike came running over to Twilight with a rolled up paper in his hand. “Twilight!, Twilight! a letter came to you from the Princess!” Spike shouted as he came. I watched Twilight as she took the letter and began to read it. She put down the letter and spoke “A TEST!! QUICK GATHER ALL OF MY STUFF I NEED!, QUILLS, PAPER, VOLUME 1 THROUGH 36!, AND FLASH CARDS!.” She shouted. “Wow...what’s gotten into Twilight?” Excaliber Prime asked. “She’s the personal student to Princess Celestia so I think she takes these test seriously.” I said. “Okay” He replied. After a while of watching her gather her stuff with spike she had to go meet Celestia at the throne room. I asked if I could give her a lift there as it was my destination to which she accepted. -One trip later- Standing outside the throne room Excaliber Prime with waiting for Twilight to finish her meeting with the Princess we were catching up with each other. “So what have you been doing before you were assigned to search for me?” I asked. “Well I was just hanging out at one of the relays and seeing if I could get a better discount from Darvo which I successfully got a Detron for half of his discount.” He said with a smile. “You lucky guy anyways how was the Detron you like it?” I asked. “Eh, it’s not my type of weapon don’t really like it.” He answered. “Okay” I answered. When I said that Twilight came out. “You two will need to come with me to the Crystal Empire quickly!” I stare at her for a while before speaking. “Okay but may I ask why?” I asked. “She said that we need to find a way to protect the Crystal Empire from the tyrant king, King Sombra.” She replied. “All right let’s go then, to my ship then.” I said and started to make my way to my ship. “Um sorry Rhino but we're going to have to take the train there because my friends will be on that train to the Crystal Empire also.” Twilight said. “Okay then but can we stop by my house so I can tell my family where i’m heading to and get Hakkar with us?” I asked. “Sure we can do that but do it quick” She said while we made our way to my house. After a trip to my house saying farewell to my family and picking up Hakkar we made it to the train station just in the nick of time. Once inside the train that was to take us to the Frozen North, we saw the rest of Twilight’s friends or the elements waiting for us. “Hey Twilight, Hello Rhino Prime” Apple Jack said. “And who are the other two if I may ask?” “Hello Apple Jack I think it’s better if Rhino here introduces them.” Twilight said. “Greetings Apple Jack.” I said with a bow. “These two are Hakkar and my best buddy Excaliber Prime” I said while pointing to each one respectively.” I introduced the other two. “Oh oh oh oh new friends! I love making new friends! this needs a party!” Pinkie said before she gasped. “I haven’t made a party for Rhino Prime either!! and thank you for saving Equestria party!!” she panicked. “Um…” Hakkar, Excaliber Prime, and I said in unison. “Don’t mind her she just get’s excited by getting to throw parties for others.” Rarity said. “All Right if you say so but anyways Excaliber and I are going to go and meditate and maybe some nartas, Hakkar you're free to do what you like for the journey.” I said. “All right boss” He said so we left the others to their conversation. Hakkar Sat with the others to join in on their conversation but was asked more questions than he could ask. With each occupants conversing with each other or doing other things they left for the Frozen North where the Crystal Empire would be. > Chapter 9: The Return Part 2 (Final) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 9: The Return Part 2 (Final) As Rhino and Excalibur prime meditated in another room. Rhino Prime Detected a small build up of void energy. “Excalibur?” I asked. “Yes Rhino?” Excalibur replied. “There’s a build up of void energy right in front of us, we better get out before it explodes.” I said. “I totally agree.” He replied as we both ran towards Hakkar and the elements. Once there I shouted “Everyone behind me now!” and casted Iron Skin. “Why? What’s wrong?” Twilight asked. “There’s a build up of void energy.” I said. “Ooooo… That is bad if that get’s too big we're all goners.” Hakkar said. “Whaat? I can’t fail now! My test just began!” Twilight cried out. “Let’s just hope it doesn't get too big.” I said. As I said that the Void energy build up just disappeared. “What…it just disappeared...that doesn't usually happen.” I said. “Yeah unless it’s a void teleportation device which is mostly used with Kubrows.” Hakkar said. “What’s a Kubrow?” Twilight asked. “It’s a dog some Tenno have, those Tenno have them by their side at all times, in battle, or simply just resting at the relays.” Excalibur said. “Oh I Forgot to mention I own a Kubrow named Crystal.” He said. “You could have told be before Excalibur.” I said annoyed that he didn’t tell me about his Kubrow. I kept watching the spot where Excalier and I came from and after a few seconds a Kubrow came out Which was a Sunika class Kubrow with a Prime collar. The Kubrow has a plain white fur with a black snout, also standing at 6 feet tall and 5 feet long. The Kubrow went over to the side of Excalibur but suddenly walks over to si by Fluttershy’s side. “Never seen that happen before but I’m glad that she can make another friend.” Excalibur said. “Hi there what’s you’re name?” Fluttershy said. The Kubrow responded with a few barks. “Oh my I can’t understand her, this never happened to me before.” Fluttershy said as she began to sniffle. The kubrow Noticed Fluttershy’s sadness and began nuzzling her. “Her name is Crystal.” Excalibur said. “Thank you.” Fluttershy said. “Your welcome.” Excalibur replied. “Well I’m heading back to meditate.” I said. “Well I’m having a wonderful time with the girls right now.” Hakkar said. “Okay Well have a good time everyone come and get me when we arrive.” I said as I went to meditate again. “I’ll be doing the same.” Excalibur said. “Alright see you two later.” Twilight said. “Yup” Excalibur replied as he closed a door that led into our temporally meditation room. -Train station at the Frozen North.- Once everyone left the train the two Tenno drew their ranged weapons Rhino with his Boltor Prime and Excalibur to his Vectis Prime. “Wow this is welcoming indeed.” Excalibur said. “Yes but sadly the cold has damaged our shields down to half leaving me with 625 shields left.” I said. “Yes that's the worst part about this temperature. Giving me the same amount of shields.” Excalibur said. “Mine dropped down to 150 shields same with my sentinel's.” Hakkar said as he pointed to his sentinel which was a Carrier Prime. As soon we stopped complaining I heard a voice coming from the blizzard that was going on a few feet in front of us. I think I heard the voice say “Twily is that you?” but not so sure as it was a bit muffled. “Shining Armor?” Twilight shouted. “Twily! You made it! We'd better get moving. There are things out here we really don't want to run into after dark.” Shining Armor said. “Why are you in such a hurry?” Twilight asked. “Let's just say the Empire... isn't the only thing that's returned.” He Replied. “That doesn’t sound good.” Excalibur said. “I don’t like that either.” I said as we started walking towards the Empire. As we almost made it to the empire which was covered by a pink bubble we heard a howl that sounded dark and menacing. “Time for a fight then, the 8 of you go to the empire me and Excalibur will hold whatever made that sound back for a while, that's also goes for you Hakkar you can’t take a hit out here in the cold.” I said. “All right let’s go” Hakkar said but unsurprisingly Shining Armor stayed with us. “What are you still doing here I told you to go.” I shouted. “Not leaving you two here alone, this is my fight also.” He replied. “Fine but you need to know your a very stubborn pony.” I said. “I get that a lot.” Shining Armor said. “Here...they come???” Excalibur shouted as Dark fog came in, two menacing eyes of green and red with purple like smoke coming from the edges of the eyes. As the eyes stared at us many more eyes opened of just blue lines some yellow eyes any you can’t really call them eyes but read and green lights coming from the smoke. “Wow those eyes they remind me of Corpus, Grineer, and Infested…”Excalibur said. “Yeah a lot…” I said that's when we heard the way to familiar screech then all hell broke loose. Gunfire from the Corpus and Grineer while the infested charged us. By then we had to use our melee weapons to defend ourselves me with my Galatine and Excalibur with his Scindo Prime, and Shining Armor using a iron sword he had. We fought until they were too much for us to handle so we had to retreat but we managed to eliminate the Infested and half of the Grineer forces leaving the Corpus army unharmed but unfortunately Sombra also join the fight, disabling Shining Armor’s ability to use magic. We made it behind the magic barrier mostly unharmed. Of course us Tenno didn’t get harmed but I was talking about Shining Armor and also thankfully Crystal’s shields were bumped up. “Shining!!! What happened to your horn?” Twilight asked as we entered the barrier. “Huh?” He replied before seeing his horn and trying to cast a spell but failing. “I’ll be alright Twily.” He said. “Are you sure?” Twilight asked. “Yes Twily i’m sure” He replied. “I’m sorry to cut the reunion but we have to find a way to save this empire before Sombra gets his hooves on it.” I spoke. “It’s okay but you're right let’s get going!” Twilight said as she turned around and followed Shining Armor towards the gigantic castle that stood in the middle of the city so the rest of us followed her. We made it inside and Twilight and Cadence did a weird dance thing and then greeted each other and some other chatting before we got to the important part. At Least for us Tenno. “So how are we going to save this Empire?” Shining Armor asked. “Well this is a part of my test so...OOOOOOoohhhh I get it a research paper! I’ll have to deliver a research paper to you, Oh this is so much fun!” Twilight Said. “And us three can provide the fighting force against Sombra I can also have my Dojo shield this place until Twilight gets whatever she is doing done.” I said. “That would actually be nice if you could shield this place.” Princess Cadence said. “Alright let me just contact Vauban up at the Dojo.” I replied. “Please do so” She replied and to which I nodded. I got in contact with Vauban up there can told him all the specifics of the shielding which he said he can make it work then I told him to wait until further notice. “All right Cadence You can drop your shield when you're ready.” I replied. “Alright in three, one, two, three” She said and with that she let her shield drop. “Alright Vauban Light the shield up” I spoke to Vauban over the coms. “K” What was I got in return. ‘Nice job at trying to be cool...or were you just lazy I wonder’ I thought to myself as a bright blue dome formed over the Crystal Empire. “There The empire’s shielded by a station grade shielding.” I said. “Thank you Rhino Prime” Princess Cadence said. “Please just call me prime and you're welcome.” I replied. She nodded towards me and said “Alright i’m going to rest now.” So she left towards her chambers. “So that leaves me to look after the Crystal empire.” Shining Armor said. “Yeah But I got a defense to set up, Hakkar take Excalibur's Vectis Prime and snipe from that balcony and Excalibur you can take my spare Soma.” I said and a few minutes later they did what they asked. “Alright Excalibur you're with me as the main fighting force against sombra if he get’s through the shield.” I said. “Alright boss.” He replied. “Looks like you had everything planned out.” Shining Armor said. “Yeah i just hope I can help defend the empire and everything will go as planed.” I said. “Don’t worry I’ve got a few guards here that's willing to help.” He replied. “Thanks I’m going to keep that in mind.” I said before Twilight came in. “We found a book that depicts a crystal fair that’s used to power up a Crystal fair by the power of Love. This Crystal Heart is used to protect the Empire from the forces of evil but if evil takes hold the heart becomes Corrupt.” Twilight said. “Then I suggest that you get started on that then.” I said. “That’s what I was going to say but anyway see you all when we have saved the empire.” Twilight said. So they went to set the fair up and Shining Armor, Excalibur, Hakkar and I went over what we are facing. A few hours passed before Twilight and the rest of her gang came rushing in. “We have a problem a very big problem.” Twilight shouted. “What is it? Is it Sombra?” I asked. “No the crystal heart it’s an actual relic!” She said as she looked through her book. “How did I not see there was a page missing!!! How Stupid of me!!” She shouted. “And How do we find this heart?” I asked. “I’ll go and search for it while my friends keep the fair going.” Twilight said. I was going to reply before I saw a black magic bolt fly towards the Dojo and hit the shield emitter disabling the shield. “And it looks like Excalibur, Hakkar, and I are going to be fighting.” I said. “Okay Good luck.” Twilight said. “Thanks and let the void be with you on your search.” I replied. And with that we went to our spots Hakkar on the balcony and Excalibur and I down at the courtyard waiting for the attacker and so they came in huge numbers. Grineer, Corpus and invested came rushing towards us but they stopped suddenly as a dark smoke formed a shape of a pony, more like a unicorn with a red tip it’s then we realized it was Sombra. Sombra came out and spoke. “So it’s you two who kept me from regaining my Empire.” “First it’s not your empire and second we're not the only ones here to defend the empire from you.” I replied. “All right but that doesn't matter my minions will rid of you and those others for me, have fun” He replied before disappearing into the shadows with a laugh you would hear from a mad person. And after that all hell broke lose Corpus and Grineer shot at us as some fell to Hakkar’s Sniping and the infested? They did what they do charge us and tried to kill us. They surrounded us as the came we managed to rid us of the infested quickly and we slowly began to cut down the Grineer and Corpus forces. Excalibur had to take cover a few times to let his shields recharge before coming back to fight but I just casted my Iron skin before they could damage my health. After a while Grineer and Corpus corpses littered the street which got Sombra to appear once again. “So you managed to defeat my minions how skilled of you.” Sombra spoke. “Oh please Excalibur and I have faced worse than what you sent at us.” I replied. “Alright then i’ll just fight you two myself.” He said as he launched himself at us. The fight went on for a while but he managed to get us down to a hundred health points each. He began to laugh before speaking “You two actually fight good for deformed ponies, so i’m going to offer you two an offer.” He said. “Yeah and what is that?” I asked. “You two become my generals in my army and i’ll let you live in fortune and power and have mares beyond your comprehension.” He said. “Us Tenno already have what you said and us Tenno do not need to have many mares.” I replied. “Are you sure i’ll even make sure your family aren’t harmed either” He said as he teleported in a cage which held Quick Strike, Red Rose and Blue Sky. “Daddy!!! Help Us!!!” Red Rose shouted as she saw me. This blew my top “I don’t know if you know this but us Tenno we stick by each other side and those who we care about to our deaths.” I said. “That is True we stick together we are brothers in arms.” Excalibur said as he came over to my side as I let out a roar then using my stomp ability lifting Sombra up leaving him open for a Slash Dash ability by Excalibur which he did slicing Sombra in half. I went over to my cadged family and broke apart the cage setting my Family free. We hugged each other for a while before Hakkar came and joined in on the hug. We heard screaming coming from above we went out from under the castle where we ended up in our battle, and look up where we saw spike falling with something in his arms. I realized that I had to catch him so I ran up the side of the castle, then jumped out to the side and caught Spike mid air, landing on the ground sending a shockwave out from the hard landing I set Spike down on the ground. As I did so the rest of the ponies made it over to me including Princess Cadence. Princess cadence got the Crystal heart from spike and told the ponies around to feed love to it which let this wave out healing the wounds Excalibur and I gained and removing all the death and destruction that happened here. “Wow that is some powerful magic they have…” I said to no one in particular. “Yeah… But I would like to know how they manage to do so I might just talk with Twilight about this.” Hakkar replied. “But anyways i’m going to go rest it’s been a long day for me it’s also getting dark.” I said. “Cadence were may I rest for the night with my family?” I asked Cadence. “Oh just ask a guard to take you to your room and there you can rest.” She replied. “That you.” I said. So I went and did what I was told and no i’m laying in bed cuddling my family to sleep. “So is that what you do for a living hun? Kind of reminds me of a more pumped up job of being a Royal Guard at times.” Quick Strike said. So yeah I have told the kids about my adventures of being a Tenno each Quest i’ve been on and other missions. “Yes you can say that, but it’s about time we got some shut eye the kids already got the right idea.” I said as I look at the sleeping fillies between me and Quick Strike. “Yeah I think your right, sleep well hun.” Quick Strike said. “Sleep well.” I replied. So the day ended peacefully most of the ponies in bed couples snuggling each other to bed and Twilight? Well she’s having a great time explaining magic to Hakkar who is confused as ever. Oh let’s check up on Vauban and his repairs. Vauban floated out in space grumbling to himself about the extra work he has to do now because of the weird black energy bolt destroyed the shield emitter. He finally let out his rage in a shout. “CURSE YOU RHINO PRIME!!!!!!” > Chapter 10: Stuff Being Done > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 10: Stuff Being Done. So the train ride was quite uneventful when we had entered it, just talking about what happened and meditation. But soon enough Spike burped out a letter to whom it was we don’t know yet but Twilight caught it in her magic as she opened it but suddenly handed it over to me to read. So I read the letter out loud. Dear Prime, I request that you immediately come to the the throne room with Hakkar as you two need to attend an important meeting. Please do so with haste. Princess Celestia. “Okay seems like the princess needs us for some sort of important meeting.” I said. “What kind of meeting s it?” Twilight asked sitting directly opposite me. “She didn’t say.” I replied. “Then it must be important then would you two like to be teleported directly to the castle?” She asked. “Why not Excalibur? I’m sure that they would like to meet him to.” I asked. “Hmm yeah I see your point so would you three like to be teleported?” She asked. “Yes but we’ll have lower our shields as our shield deflects all magic usage on us so wait for a while to let ours shields decharge.” I said as I nodded to Excalibur and Hakkar to start discharging their shields as I did so with mine. “Alright tell me when you're all finished.” Twilight spoke. After a few minutes of depleting our shields which took ten minutes for me and Excalibur as we had large amount of shields but for Hakkar took a minute as his shields weren’t that high. “All right we're ready.” I said. “Ok here it goes.” Twilight replied. And with that her horn let up with magic and surrounded us three and with a bright flash we found ourselves standing in front of the throne room. “You gotta love how teleportation works, why don’t we have long range teleportation capabilities?” Hakkar asked. “I don’t actually know why maybe I can get some of our engineers and scientists to work on creating a long distance teleportation device, oh also power up your shields.” I said and we started repowering our shields. “That would be nice.” Hakkar Replied. “All right let’s see what Celestia wants.” I said. “Hope it’s nothing bad.” Excalibur replied. So we entered the throne room where we saw a long table has been set up with chairs along the sides and one at the end. We saw three empty seats the others held different types of animals a Gryphon, Minotaur, a Deer, a Zebra, an Ibex, a Yak, and a Dragon which was just small enough to fit into a large chair. “We have arrived Princess.” I said. “Thank you Rhino Prime for coming in such notice.” “Your welcome but I would like to know what's the matter?” I asked. “Just a friendly meeting with the world leaders.” She replied. “Okay and I assume Twilight sent you a letter about Excalibur since there's a third seat?” I said. “Your assumption is correct.” She said. So each of us took our seats I sat next to the Dragon which I noticed was female and had white scales with blue on their tips. She had Purple eyes a long snout and sizable horns that curved a bit towards the ceiling. Hakkar sat next to me while Excalibur sat on the opposite side next to a male Gryphon on who had a standard brown body while her head feathers were Red tipped with the color white and same goes for his wings. Next to the Gryphon sat a Male Minotaur which had nothing interesting about him except that he was bulky because of his muscles. Next to the dragon sat a Female Zebra nothing special about her either next her sat a male Yak, a female Deer sat opposite to the Yak and next to her sat a male Ibex the came Celestia sitting at the end of the table. “This meeting has been called upon because of the new events that has happened.” Celestia spoke. “Ah yes I was wondering who are thee three and what’s that thing that's floating up in the sky?” Said the Gryphon. “I Believe I can answer both of those Questions.” I spoke as they all turned to look at me. “First of all I and my Friend opposite me are Tenno we are masters of gun and blade each of us containing four different different powers and my other friend next to me here is a Human being or an Orokin to be exact.” I said as I paused to let all the information seep into their minds before I began again shortly after. “And for the Structure you see up their that my Clan’s Dojo which is essentially our base of operation where we do all our things ranging from trading military planning, training, living quarters and many other things.” I said. “If you do all your things their are you planning to invade our world so you can take it to your selves?” The Minotaur asked. “Yeah I would like to know and to tell you the Gryphon empire will not go down without a fight!” The Gryphon shouted. “That we would never do it would also be very hypocritical to do as we are caught up in two different wars one of the wars are that the Grineer who started the war for complete dominance over the system and the other war created by the Sentient Hunhow for complete eradication of the system.” I spoke. “You never told me about those two wars?” Celestia spoke. “Because I want to keep your peace full planet from the war and you have no business in it I also don’t wish to drag all of you into it.” I said. “I understand and I thank you for everything you’ve done so far.” Celestia said. “You're very welcome.” I replied. “But what if the Grineer or the Sentients arrive here?” The Ibex asked. “Aaaaa yes you don’t have to worry about that as the Dojo up there which belongs to my clan and we will defend this planet to our last breath which is sort of impossible since we just resurrect ourselves on the spot.” I said. “Wait you're kind can resurrect yourself?” The Ibex asked. “Yes we can, another perk at being a Tenno is that we can’t really die.” I answered him. “And who leads the Tenno?” The Gryphon asked. “She and all other Tenno call her Lotus she’s the reason why we're still here and she’s also our mentor.” I lied because my clan doesn't trust her at all since we found out that she’s a sentient and has kept her past hidden from us. “Hmmm I see.” He said. “Is it possible to see this Dojo?” The Minotaur asked. “Yes that can be arranged, Celestia will send you all a message when I got time to show you all the Dojo.” I said. “Then we await your decision.” The Ibex said. “I think it’s best that we end the meeting here for a later time as of there’s a marriage happening soon.” Celestia said. With that said every member of the meeting except for us Tenno, Hakkar and Celestia left the throne room. “Yes ready for the trip up?” I asked Celestia. “Yes I am Prime.” She replied. “Alright let's go pick everyone else up then!!!” “Or everypony?” I said. “It’s everyone since it's a mix race thing but if it’s only ponies or your the only one among ponies you're going to have to say everypony, but let’s go shall we not?” She said. With that we went and gathered everyone we knew. With everyone but Quick Strike’s Father, Mother, Sister and Brother onboard, we slowly made it to the house Quick Strike told me where her Father and Mother lived. Standing outside their house with Quick Strike I asked her “So How are your parents?.” ‘I just hope they aren’t the I’ll kill you on sight parent if they found me with their daughter’ I thought. “My mother is a lovely mare kind and accepting but my father can be a little too over protective but otherwise a kind and good hearted stallion.” She said. ‘Great just need to watch out for her father.’ I thought. “Thanks, now let’s get them.” I said. Quick Strike and I went and stopped in front of their house as Quick Strike knocked on the door. We waited for a while before we started to hear multiple locks unlock and finally the door opening showing a Mare Which almost Identical to Quick Strike only the color scheme was different with Pure white mane and tail with a red coat. “Hey Mom!” Quick Strike said. “Quick Strike! How are you?” She asked before she noticed me. “Oh my, who may you be?” She asked. “I’m fine mom, and he’s Rhino Prime he’s a Tenno and Future Husband to me.” Quick Strike spoke. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.” I spoke. “Who’s by the door honey?” A we heard a voice shout. “It’s Quick Strike and a guest!” Quick Strike mother shouted back. We heard hooves moving against the floor and not long a Stallion showed up at the door at the mare’s side. “How is my favorite filly doing? And who’s the stalionnn…get away from my daughter MONSTER!!!” He said defensively as he placed himself between me and the mares. “Whoa whoa whoa I understand your reaction but I assure you I do not wish harm to your daughter or the soon to be wife of mine.” I spoke. He was silent for a while as he contemplated if I was still threat before he spoke up. “How can I trust you?....wait soon to be wife? You're marrying my daughter? Is this true?” He asked both of us. “Dad it’s true I love him and we are planning to get married today.” Quick Strike spoke. “And you just have to trust me in keeping your daughter safe.” I said. Quick strike’s dad looked at me skeptically before answering. “Alright I’m going to have to believe you but not entirely yet.” “Thank you at least, anyway I believe that we didn’t get each other’s names, I’m Rhino Prime I am a Tenno.” I said while holding out a hand for a shake. “I’m Vauban Strike and my wife is Solar Strike.” Vauban said as I shook with both of them. “I’m going to get your sister and brother out here.” Solar Strike said. A few minutes later she came back with a stallion and a mare following her, by the looks of their faces they were confused why they were needed here. They took notice of Quick Strike fist as they hugged her once they noticed me they froze. “Ummm hello i’m Daisy Strike and you are?” Daisy asked. “Greetings i’m Rhino Prime a Tenno” I said as we shook turning to towards the other stallion beside Daisy Strike I spoke. “And my I ask who you are?” “Oh hi I’m Tank Strike Big Brother to Quick Strike and Daisy Strike!!” He said excitedly. “It’s a pleasure to meet you all, now to why Quick Strike and I are here for which are to bring all of you and a few others to our wedding!!!!!!!!” I said. “Oh Yeah we're all set to go!” Tank Strike shouted. “All right let’s go just follow me.” I said before turning around and heading back towards my ship. Once we were inside my Liset everyone but me took the time to speak and catch up, I took the time to speak with my fellow Tenno and check up how the wedding is coming along which turns out everything is up and ready! After that we argued if we were to do it the traditional way where the family get a Syandana that's crafted for the male or the male could choose which syandana it would be and a emblem pair specially drawn by the female. “This is going to be a good day.” I said out loud to no one in particular. > Chapter 11:My Special Day!!! :D > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 11: My Special Day!!! :D So we were in orbit of planet Equis and a few miles away was my Dojo. I was sitting at my desk legs resting on the desk while Quick Strike was resting on my lap as she stared at Dojo's size. Actually everyone here except Hakkar and Excalibur was doing. “So what do you think?” I asked every one. “It’s...it’s huge!” Twilight said. “Wow Rhino it’s some base you have.” Princess Celestia said. “How do you keep your base running? How do you get all the power to run it?” Vauban Strike asked. “Lot’s of power generators, wait are you an engineer?” I asked Vauban. “Yes I am why?” He replied. “Its because we are having trouble on keeping everything running in perfect order so we're looking for a helping hand or hoof. ” I said. “Yes I’m able to do that if I can have it as a job.” He replied. “Done! We just need to teach you about everything first.” I spoke. We finally made it to the dojo as we flew through the doors that leads towards my personal landing bay. It took a few minutes before we were all standing in front of my ship. “ I officially welcome all of you to my Dojo.” I said to everyone. “Thank you.”Princess Celestia said. “This is Amazing!!!! I’m actually on an alien base!! Oh no offense.” Rainbow dash. “None taken i’m actually glad your all excited.” I said. “Alright who wants a tour around the Dojo?” I asked. Everyone rose their hands/hooves and answered with their versions of a yes. So I took every one for a tour around the Dojo from the research rooms to the dueling rooms, obstacle rooms and many more. Explaining what each room does and the rules for the dueling room and the obstacle course. “And here is our observation room where we observe and plan everything that goes on.” I said as we stood in front of a table that showed the current plant were orbiting which is Planet Equis. “Is that our planet?” Daisy Strike asked. “Yes it is, isn’t just magnificent seeing it for the first time?” I asked. “Yeah it sure is…” Tank Strike said. As he said that the doors to the room we were in opened and in came two female Prime warframes which I recognized as Ember Prime and Nyx Prime. “Hey Nyx, hello sister.” I said “Sis??” Quick Strike asked “Hey boss.” Nyx Prime replied. “Hello how’s my favorite little brother doing?” Ember asked as she leaned up against me. “I’m fine and you know i’m your only sibling right?” I replied. “Yes but you still my favorite little brother.” She said. “Alright, anyways why have I called you two here is you two are going to be the protector of Quick strike and her family and I also need you to take her to get some preparations done.” I said. “All right boss well get going right away.” Nyx Prime said. So Quick Strike and her family went with them. “It’s also about time I get my preparations done but first i’ll you you four to you rooms.” I said. Oh I forgot to mention that Luna teleported herself to Celestia which is how she ended up here at the Dojo because she...forgot it was today so now you know. “Alright lead the way.” Princess Celestia said. So I did once they were all in their rooms I went to get my part of the preparations done. What are these preparations? Well For the female side the female has to draw or choose a symbol what represents the family which can be anything really. An for the male he has to craft or go out and recover a lost syandana. What did I do? Well a long time ago I was doing some Orokin Derelict missions and I stumbled upon a syandana Blueprint. Which is what I am thinking of using so I crafted two of them and gave them to two other Tenno who are Limbo and Zephyr. All these thing will be given at the marriage. After all the final check ups I headed back towards my chambers. Entering my chambers which consisted of a bed that I got installed. My personal modding station which was placed opposite the bed, my arsenal station next to it and a few meters away was a desk that was also connected to the store and finally a foundry next to the desk. There was also a door that led to a bathroom. I headed over to the bed and saw that Quick Strike already laying down fast asleep with a smile across her face. I slowly laid down and slipped under the bed sheets to avoid waking her, once in the bed I slowly brought her towards me and held her as I dozed off to sleep. I woke up in the morning around 7 am and found the bed empty. I looked around to see if I could spot Quick Strike anywhere that's when I heard the shower turning on which told me that she was cleaning herself. So I waited a few minutes to do my daily morning routine which mainly consisted of a lot of stretches and workouts then a shower. Oh did I forget to mention i have my own weights? Well I do. A few hours later and it was already 50 minutes past nine and almost time to start the wedding I was just speaking to my Vauban about Vauban Strike. At first he thought I was mocking him but I convinced him to teach Vauban Strike everything on how to run a Dojo in perfect order. When it was about to hit ten I went to my position in the Greatest hall where everything has been set up to accommodate a wedding theme. I’m not going to go into full Detail about the wedding just think of it as a normal wedding with just a change in music and tradition. After the wedding I danced with Quick Strike my new wedded wife, we danced for an hour straight before we went our own ways to talk with others here at the wedding. I stood at a quickly made bar thinking before I was interrupted by a cough that came from my right. To my right stood Hakkar. “Greetings Hakkar what can I do for you?” I asked. “Um I need help, your help because I just remembered a promise which I can’t say.” Hakkar said. “And what can I help you with?” I asked. “Well I have a Orokin tower which no one knows about, that Orokin Tower was also my home I lived there with my wife and our new born child. And in that tower I need to retrieve an object that i hold dear of, if you're willing to help me with this i’ll give you my Orokin tower for your use.” Hakkar said. “All right i’ll have to plan this through and i’ll contact you when it’s a go.” I said. “Thank you Friend.” Hakkar replied. “You are very welcome Hakkar.” I said as he turned around with a smile on his face as he walked away. The rest of the day just went by with a lot of people/ponies congratulating me and a few talks and more dancing with Quick Strike. By the time the party ended it was late so everyone/everypony went to bed. > The Adventure Part 1. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Adventure As a new day came around I laid in my bed with Quick Strike to my right as we cuddled each other. “Do you have anything planned today?” Quick Strike asked. “Yes I do, Hakkar Told me about an Orokin Tower he owned and he would like to retrieve an object from it.” I replied. “What is this object?” She asked. “He didn’t say what it was.” I said. “Want some food?” I asked. “Yes I would like to, also remember for Red Rose and Blue Sky.” She replied. “Of course how could I forget my favorite foals.” I said. “Glad to hear, now let’s go and eat!.” Quick Strike got out of bed and headed to the door before I stopped her. “Hun aren’t you forgetting something?” I said as I got out of bed and started to attach the family’s syandana. “Uhh that? I can’t figure out how to attach it.” She said. “Then I’ll teach you!” I replied as I went over to her with her syandana in my hand. “It’s pretty much like a scarf, I’ve just modify these these so you can just tie them around your necks, but they still have the normal attachment option which will allow you to attach it to the back of your neck.” I said. “Right thanks, now let's get the kids up so we can eat.” She replied. So that’s what we did which took an hour to get through. But once done we had to go our separate ways. “Alright there’s a Liset waiting for you and docking bay 3 waiting to take you all back to Canterlot, if you have any trouble finding your way feel free to ask any Tenno or staff you meet.” I said to the guests which isn’t including my Family As the guests went on their way I turned and faced my family. “All Right for you three I got a new landing craft and with your own Cephalon for all of you to use!” I said. “Really!?” The kids say at the same time. “Yup let’s go.” I said. So we went. A few minutes went by as we finally made it to the hangar where the new liset is parked. “Well here it is.” I said. In front of me parked on the landing pad stood a Xiphos. “Wow…” Quick Strike said. “It’s amazing!!” The kids say as the ran over to the ship. “Hun why is it different to yours?” Quick strike asked. “Well to put it short the one I currently own was the only ship design available at that moment.” I said. “Oh.” Quick Strike said as we headed over to the ship. We all entered the ship once inside a voice that sounded similar to Ordis but on the more female side. “Greetings Operators welcome aboard the Xiphos class landing craft.” The unnamed Cephalon spoke. “Seems like you got a female oriented Cephalon but any ways what would you like to name it?” I spoke the my family. “How about Sif?” Quick Strike said. “Hmm what do you two think?” I asked Red Rose and Blue Sky. “I love it!” Red Rose shouted. “A wonderful name let’s use it!” Blue Sky said after. “Alright Sif it is!” I said, turning around and facing the landing craft I spoke to the Cephalon. “Cephalon One-Three-eight-five, your new designation is Sif.” I said. “New designation ‘Sif’, thank you Operators, may I acquire orders?” Cephalon Sif spoke. “Sif please take my family down to these coordinates and stay at this coordinate until further notice my my family or by me, take off once I left the ship.” I said as I typed in a coordinate. I turned around once i was done, before I could take a step Red Rose spoke up. “Daddy why aren’t you coming with us?” Red Rose asked. I knelt down so I was almost on the same level “Well Daddy has to go on this little trip with his friends and I may not be back in a few days.” I said as Hugged Both of the kids before I stood up and began to leave. But stopped once I heard footsteps behind me as I quickly turn around and saw it was Quick Strike. “You didn’t tell me about this little trip?” She asked. “Well it’s a secret i’m not allowed to actually tell what the real thing is.” I said. “How long will you be away?” Quick Strike asked. “I do not know the place i’m going time runs differently than here, don’t worry too much about me ok?” I said. “But what if you die? I’ll be single again and our kids will be fatherless again and the foal that’s coming won’t even know his father.” Quick Strike said as she started to sob. I crouched down and wrapped my arms around her and started to sooth her. “There there there’s no need to cry, don’t you remember about us Tenno being immortal?” I spoke. “Yes but you can still die by weapons can’t you?” She spoke. “Sort of.” I spoke. “Sort of? What do you mean by sort of?” She asked. “Well I can just resurrect if I die only four times for each body I own.” I said. “Wait… You have several bodies?” She said with a shocked expression. “I’ll tell you later when i get back all right?” I said. “Alright just come back in one piece ok?” She said. “I Promise you.” I said. “Don’t promise a girl a promise you can’t keep ok?” she said. “Don’t worry I can keep that promise, I’ll come to you once i’m back ok?” I said. “All right stay safe.” She said. “I will see all of you later.” I said as I exited the ship. As I made it out side the ramp to the ship closed and took of to the coordinates I gave the ship. ‘Aaaa yes now to speak with the others about this.’ I thought as I made my way towards the Observation room. Once I Arrived I saw everyone already there waiting for me around the holographic display (which is displaying all planets in the system right now.) “You’re late!” Ember shouted. “Sorry had to calm down my wife, but i’m here now so let’s begin.” I said as I joined them. “All right I already told Rhino prime about this but i’m going to repeat it for all of you, I have an Orokin Tower which is located inside the void at these coordinates and in that tower is an object I need to personally retrieve.” Hakkar said. “What do we actually get out of this?” Nyx Prime (who is my little sister) asked. “Nyx be patient please” I spoke. “It’s alright I’m used to it.” Hakkar spoke. “Anyways as a reward you’ll get my Tower.” Hakkar added. “All right but how do you suppose we can complete this? There’s always some sort of security system in these Orokin towers.” Loki Prime said. “I would go with loki on this we have all been to a Orokin tower there’s always a security system either lasers or other shit that’s annoying and gets you killed while you try to fend of a horde of corrupted units.” Ash Prime added. “Yes you two are both right my tower does have some sort of security but there’s no corrupted only lasers but there’s another thing which is a drone which is called Orokin enforcer, oh and here’s a blueprint of the drone.” Hakkar said as he plugged his golden ring to a port that led to the display and uploaded the blueprints. We took a while to observe the schematics. “Holy this thing is tough 2 large layers of shields that covers its sides, one for each and a smaller one for it’s head, it’s also equipped with pulse beams, motars, particle beam, and claws that can crush a Tenno easily.” Excalibur said with awe. “Do not worry luckily for us all of that is front facing including the shields so we just need to attack it from the back.” I spoke. “All Right but what is the object you need to retrieve Hakkar?” Ember Prime asks. “That is a personal thing to me that’s all you need to know.” Hakkar said. “All right.” Ember replies not satisfied by his reply. “Hmmm I also have been wondering since Celestia allowed us to orbit Equestria should we allow a team of ponies to come with us so they can possibly learn something about the void?” I asked. “Yeah that could be a great Idea to do inform Princess Celestia about this after we are done with the mission briefing.” Hakkar said. “All right anything else we need to know about this tower?” I asked. “Well if I do remember I was the lead scientist in the Orokin era I worked on developing the infested so the tower could be overrun by the infested.” Hakkar said. “Aaaa no problem we have dealt with the infestation a lot but we need to find a way to shield the ponies that are coming with us from the infestation.” I spoke. “Okay if this is all I think we can call this quest Memories of Murder!” I added. “Why?” Nyx asked. “Heh just a hunch I have, anyways i’ll contact Celestia and you're all dismissed until I need you all again.” I said. So we all left the observation room and I took my liset all the way down to Celestia’s Palace. I walked the halls of the castle heading to Celestia’s quarters. After a while of wondering I found myself in front of a oak door that has Celestia’s Emblem on it, giving three knocks on it. “Yes yes I’m coming.” I heard coming from the other side of the door. Suddenly the door opened up and there stood Celestia in a nightgown. “Oh um I’m sorry If I woke you I can come back tomorrow.” I spoke. She gave a light chuckle “it’s alright I wasn’t sleeping at all but what could I do for the newly wedded stallion?” She spoke. “Hmm thanks but I was actually thinking quite the opposite.” I spoke. “So what could that be then?” She asked as she gestured for me to come in. As I entered the room was colored a pristine white with gold trimmings much like the Orokin design, the room contained a queen size bed a door which i presumed that led to the bathroom a desk at a corner and a balcony that overlooked Canterlot it self. “Aaa us Tenno are embarking on a little quest to the void and we thought it was also going to be a great time for your ponies to study the void.” I spoke. “That would be wonderful I’ll have a team of scientist and a few guards assembled in the morning, where would you like them to be at?” She spoke. “Let's say at the castle gardens i’ll come and pick them up at 9 am.” I spoke. “Oh how long are you planning to be away?” She asked. “I do not know time runs differently in the void.” I spoke. “Hmmm okay then anything else?” She said. “Noo not really i’ll be going now and have a nice sleep Celestia.” I spoke. “Thanks you too.” She said before she closed the door. After that I went back to the Dojo. Entering the Grand hall of the Dojo I met up with Hakkar. “Hey Hakkar i’m back with good news.” I spoke. “Greetings Rhino may I ask what it is?” Hakkar spoke. “I spoke with Celestia about allowing ponies to study the void which she agreed to and she said she will have a group of scientists and guards ready at the castle gardens at 9am.” I spoke. “That’s great news! But anyways I need to get some rest i’ll see you in the morning, good night Rhino.” He said as he walked of. I decided to go get some rest to so I headed back to my quarters to rest. > The Adventure Part 2. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Adventure Part 2 After a full good night’s rest I got out of bed at 8:30 and rushed my way over to my list and flew down to the spot where i said I was going to meet them. Once I landed it was already 8:55 in the morning. Exiting the list and looking around I saw four guards and six ponies in white coats which I assumed was the scientists. I also noticed they had equipment with them. They stopped a few meters away from me as a guard came up to me and spoke “Greetings you must be Rhino Prime?” One of the guards spoke. “Yes it’s me I take it you're all here for the trip?” I asked. “Yes it’s true.” He replied. “All right welcome aboard.” I said as I stepped aside to let them in. “Thank you.”He said to me as he turned around and spoke to the rest “All right we got clearance let’s get a move on!” he shouted. I watched as they all brought their stuff aboard and entered once they were done. Entering I closed the door behind me. “Alright let’s get this party started! Oh feel free to ask me any questions until we get to the the void.” I said. “Ordis take us up into orbit then attach to the orbiter and await further instructions.” I spoke to Ordis. The Ponies found different spots where they could sit while doing their research. I saw a unicorn approach me and his horn glowing. “Can I help you?”I asked. “Oh uh yes Sir Rhino I got to this to ask if I may.” He Spoke nervously. “Of course you may there’s no reason to be afraid of me.” I said. “Okay um first question who were you talking to?” He asked. “It was Ordis he’s the ship were in.” I answered. “Wait how?” He asked. “Ordis is an artificial intelligence known as a cephalon.” I answered. “Oh okay for my other question is, whats this kind of energy you're emitting?” He asked as he was scanning me which is what I thought he was doing. “It’s the void you're detecting a very powerful energy substance.” I said. “Oh wow.” He said. “Operator we have docked with the Orbiter what should I do know?” Ordis spoke. “Are the others ready?” I asked. “Yes Operator” He replied. “Please contact them please.” I spoke. “Yes Operator.” He replied. As screens of every one else popped up on screens. “Are you all ready?” I asked each of them. “Yeah we're ready waiting for the count down.” Ember said. “All right void jump in t minus 10” I said as a timer popped up and started to count down from ten seconds as all the screens disappeared. “All hands or hooves on deck brace for void jump!” I ordered as they all braced themselves. Once It reached zero seconds we jumped which felt like your whole body being stretched impossibly long, anyway we made it to void. “Everypony ok?” I asked. Each pony aboard replied with their versions of a yes. “Good, Ordis Inform the others to head to the tower.” “Oh also travel to these coordinates.” I said. “Yes operator.” Ordis replied as all the other orbiters and mine started traveling towards the Orokin tower. “All right i’ll be at the back of the ship equipping my gear.” I told the ponies aboard. I went down the ramp to the equipping station, I decided to go with my Dex Sybaris for my primary, Aksomati as my secondary, my Galatine Heavy Sword. I turned around once I was finished and Saw a guard standing there. “Yes can I help you?” I asked. The guard took of his helmet and the spell that kept them all identical faded which revealed Tank Strike. “Tank Strike?!” I said shocked. “Yep it’s me, soo this is what the back of the ship looks like.” He said as looked at all the things stationed here. “Yep cool isn’t it?” I said. “Yeah...oh nice great sword you got there.” He spoke. “Thanks Galatine here and I have been through alot of nasty things but we should get ready we're almost there.” I spoke. “Okay I just can’t wait what will happen on this mission!” He said with glee. “Don’t worry there’s a lot of things that will happen, wait are you new to the guard?” I asked. “Yeah, why?” He said. “Just wondering.” I replied as I went back up the ramp with him following suit. “Sir we have arrived” Ordis spoke up. “Alright everyone prepare to disembark.” I said. “Ordis detach the liset and land on the platform below us.” I spoke to Ordis. “Yes Operator.” He replied. So that’s what he did, Once we landed I went to the back of my ship and Got my Wyrm Prime. As I came back out I said “Alright we're here ready up and meet me outside when all of you are ready.” I spoke before I exited the ship. Once outside I saw everyone else standing ready with their own personal Sentinels. “Everyone ready?” I asked. “Yeah as I’ll ever be big guy” Ember Prime said. “Eeh great” I said. Every one else replied with comment or just a word stating they were ready. “All right I have figured out a temporary defense against the Neural Sentry for the ponies.” I said. “And what is that?” Ash asked. “We could use our sentinels to disrupt the Neural Sentry detection systems but unfortunately the sentinels have to be close to the ponies.” I spoke. “All right and it seems they're all ready.” Ash replied. “Get all your sentinels ready and send them to follow one of the ponies” I spoke to my group which they nodded in return. I just realized that there were more ponies than sentinels so I asked Ordis to activate my other which was a Death cube. It came out of my ship and positioned it self over a Pony that wasn’t occupied. “All right we're all set and the disruption signal is running.” I spoke. I went over to the ponies who were all looking up at their new companions. “Hey are you all ready to go?” I asked them once I was within ear shot. “Yeah we are but what are these objects that are floating above us?” The lead guard said. “Oh they are sentinels which will help protect you from all hostile forces were going to encounter.” I replied. “Oh but were completely able to fend for ourselves.” He replied. “That I can believe but the forces here are unlike anything you have fought.” I said before I turned around and faced my group. “All right we're ready weapons free and let’s head out!” Shouted to everyone. So us tenno went first then the ponies followed after us. Once we walked a few meters from the entrance we were completely quiet as we walked. "My love those things are not Orokin anymore. They are freaks, abominations. They need to be put down." Came out of nowhere but recognized it as Hakkar’s voice. “That, I remember I said that during the war and with the introduction of the Tenno.” Hakkar spoke. “Wow just like the second dream.” I said. “Yeah” Ember spoke. Another moment of peace and quiet before it was broken by one of the scientists speaking. “Is it just me or does it feel like we're being watched constantly.” He spoke. “Yeah” A guard spoke before stepping on a pressure plate which gave off a deflating sound. “Ops” The guard said. “Shit” I said as the whole room before us changed into where we had to jump from platform to platform which was combined with moving lasers and turrets. “Well this is just great.” Ash said. “Well shoot those turrets and lasers then we just have the parkour to worry about.” I replied. “Right” Ash said as we opened fired upon the lasers and turrets. “There was that easy!” I said once they were shot. “Yeah.” Ash said with a deadpan voice. “Now Parkour!” Nyx said as she went and started on the parkour which we followed her one by one. Once we all go to the other side we heard something being said but this time another voice. "Please Hakkar give them a chance. I believe we can trust them." An unknown person said. “Wow….” I said. “Yeah…” Loki said. Looking over at the ponies I saw the Scientists furiously scribbling down notes as we moved into the next room. In that room was a death orb that I walked straight into but my shields kept me from being harmed which caused everyone to gasp. Once I dealt with the orb by blowing the lasers off and the top part which made it turn. “Alright guys it’s dealt with you can come out now!” I shouted. Which they did. “How, how did you survive that?” Tank Strike came and asked. “Shields kid all tenno have them Excalibur and I have the highest amount of shields here. But I have the most armor of this group.” I said. “Wow you guys are though aren't you?” He asked. “Yup we are.” I spoke. A few moments of peace some one broke it by speaking. “Eww, what is this!” A female scientist screamed. I came over and saw something really disgusting, it was a type of creep like what we have in the Origin system but this was on a higher level of disturbing. What the creep locked like was someone just decided to spill all their inner contents out on the floor which gave it a more fleshy appearance. As I looked closer I saw it was seeping… vomit! “Ugh this smells horrible.” the same scientist spoke which told me it had a very bad stench. I reach out and touch it which had the same feeling as the the creep in the origin system but more slimy. “This is really disturbing.” I spoke looking up I saw that this creep spread everywhere ahead of us. “And it keeps going.” I mutter to myself. We decided to keep going with me leading. Suddenly a high pitch screech came which ended with me being sent flying as something hit me. I was stopped when I hit a pillar. I got up and saw I was a gigantic infested that charged me which was engaged with my group. I just realised I was sent flying pretty far as they were quite a distance from me. I quickly made my way back and started to engage it with my fellow tenno as I came close I noticed It’s a bipedal with a squashed human head but still had the form of a human head, what I noticed next was it’s extremely extended arms which I thought was used to impale its prey and knocking them down and the last thing I noticed I came up to it’s chest which made it huge. We tried shooting at it’s head for a few minutes but nothing happen as we found out that it was immune to headshots. “Aaaaa how do we even kill this thing!” Nyx Shouted. “If I remember correctly it’s limbs are the weakest of the Hunter.” Hakkar spoke. “Alright everyone aim for it’s legs!” I shouted. Once we were all aimed in we fired which got it to fall the ground and it started to crawl towards me. “That just creepy” Loki Said. “Yeah” Ember said as I came charging and jumped up into the air drew my Galantine as I landed impaled the Hunter in the back splitting it apart. “There it’s dead” I spoke as I walked ahead. "And why should we trust them?" Hakkar’s voice came. “Another insight to the past…”I mumbled. “Mr. Rhino?” A scientist came up to me as he spoke. “Yes?” I replied. “What was that creature?” He asked. “That was a Hunter apart of a mutated race called the infested which is more of a disease that has no cure which consumes its victims turning them into an infested, a horrible fate for all.” I spoke. He shivers as I said those words. “How gruesome isn’t there anything your people are doing against it?” He asked. “I wish we could but we don’t know where the source of this infestation is so we can’t actually defeat them but keep them from infecting more.” I spoke. > The Adventure Part 3. (Final) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Adventure Part 3. We went further within the tower which was unnerving because of the eerie silence that filled the air. “I have a bad feeling.” I heard the guard that was behind me spoke out loud. “Yeah like…” I was interrupted by a very familiar screech that filled the room.’oh not again’ I thought. “Hunter Incoming! Watch out!” As i shouted those few words the wall to our left burst open and through came the hunter hitting Excalibur sending him flying away. “Engage same thing like before!” I ordered. We engaged the hunter at first we thought it was going to be the same as the last encounter but it seems like this one saw the downfall of it’s friends and was now much more cautious and at times it just kept moving. But we still made process as we managed to remove it’s limbs one by one slowly. After a whole hour of fighting the hunter which was incredibly annoying as it was always moving around like one of those grineer manic that speed around doing hit and run attacks. “Right now that’s another hunter that’s dealt with and boy was it really annoying more annoying than those manic the grineer send our way sometimes.” I spoke. “I completely agree with you I actually miss fighting them now.” Ash spoke. “Ha ha ha yeah you can just Bladestorm everything and it will die it was never hard or annoying for you.”I replied. “Yeah you have a point!” He spoke before we started to laugh as everyone watched us. Ember came up to us and asked “Are you guys done yet so we can get a move on or do we need to carry both of you?” She asked. “Yeah...were... done…” I said as I stopped laughing. We resumed our trip. We walked for a while before the unknown voice spoke again. "I just know we can. Please give them a chance my husband. Do it for me." The Unknown voice spoke. “Who could that voice belong to?” I asked out loud to no one in particular. “That’s the voice of my wife Miyuki.” Hakkar spoke through the com link. “Oh and why haven’t we met her yet?” I asked. “I...do not know.” He replied. “Well let’s hope we do.” I replied. “Rhino I’m detecting a drone right beyond this door, I believe it could be the Enforcer Drone.” Loki Spoke. “Alright everyone on high alert and remember it’s eye!” I shouted. We moved closer to the door once close enough the door parted revealing what was behind the set of doors which was the drone we had in mind also the place that’s called Nest of memories if I remember correctly from what Hakkar told me. The drone just suddenly powered up and spoke “Tenno presence detected moving to engage and eliminate.” It spoke in a robotic voice like the corpus walkers. “Everyone engage with caution!” I spoke which started an intense fight. Everyone but me went for it’s eye but even the shields surrounding it was extremely tough but i was the one who was going to keep it distracted well let’s say at first it didn’t work that well as the drone fired a particle beam from it’s chest with missiles at me, instantly killing me sending my corpse flying. Me still being able to see my surrounding by the use of the void. I saw one of the guards come running over to my corps and pulled it behind cover and checking my vitals. He stopped and shook his head as he looked over to another guard then the went back to the task at hand. I revived myself which sent a burst of electricity through my body which caught the attention of the guard that was next to me as he watched my corpse. I floated up and spread my arms and legs a bit out to the sides letting a small shock wave out which didn’t harm anything since there was no threats in the area of the blast. Landing on my feat and coming to my senses I looked down to the guard who look up at me in awe who I noticed was Tank Strike. “Thank for pulling me to safety Tank Strike you shall receive a prize for your aid.” I spoke before I went to distract the drone once again but this time I was prepared. I got out of cover and ran towards it while it was distracted by my fellow Tenno’s but it soon noticed me as it fired it’s Mortars at me. I barely managed to dodge the barrage of explosive shells that explode against the ground. I got in range that i could bullet jump a with a flip in mid air landed on top of the drone once I was on top I managed to only strike it once in it’s back with my Galentine before it threw me off onto a wall. As I got up I saw the attention of the drone was focused on someone else which was Loki Prime and the drone was about to fire it’s pulse beam. “Loki switch teleport with me!” I shouted to Loki. Loki looked at me and noded as he casted his switch teleport ability with me and soon i found my self it the drone’s line of fire. As the drone fired I activated my Iron Skin and absorbed the red needles that impacted me which counted as 40k damage absorbed which was added to the health of my Iron Skin. “How...that is practically impossible..” I heard a guard whisper. I Rhino charged it staggering it to give my tenno a chance to break the shields protecting the eye which what exactly happened. As I watched the shields break I pulled out my Dex Sybaris and we all began to shoot it’s head. I saw a thick green beam that only lasted a few seconds impact the head of the drone. I looked back and saw Ember with an Opticor. “SYSTEMS AT 95% INTEGRITY.” The drone spoke. “Keep it on fellow Tenno and Ponies!” I shouted as we kept shooting it. The Drone went over to Nyx and managed to grab her, clenching its fist around her crunching her in seconds. The drone dropped her as she fell to the floor. I rushed over to her and brought her behind cover. I waited for a few seconds before she resurrected herself “Are you alright sis?” I asked. “Yeah thanks Brother.” She replied. “You're very welcome now let’s get back to battle.” I spoke before I rushed into battle with nyx on my tail. As I came back into battle I saw my fellow tnoo still shooting at the drone’s head but I heard it boom “SYSTEMS AT 80% INTEGRITY.” “This will take a while.” I muttered to myself. I ran towards it and Climbed it so I found myself once again on it. I choose a random spot on it’s back and just jammed my sword in the gap between it’s armor plates. I must have hit something extremely vital as it said “SYSTEMS AT 40% INTEGRITY, OPTICS COMPROMISED” The drone spoke. “Way to go Rhino!” Ash shouted. I smiled before I was thrown off again. Coming to a stop once I hit a bench which stood in front of a huge plant pot which had one of those void trees or the singing trees some tenno call them planet in the white square pot. “Hmm a singing tree always glad to hear them sing but back to battle.” I spoke to my self. I ran back towards the drone and saw it had taken a beating. I began to shoot it in the head once again. We kept this going for a while until I we destroyed it. The drone began to flash orange, once the flashing began to speed up i new what is was going to do. “Everyone get behind cover! It’s gonna explode!” I shouted. Once i saw everyone was safe I started to run to cover but I was to late. It exploded sending a tremor and catching me in it’s blast. If it wasn’t for my Iron skin taking most of the damage I would have to use one more of my revives. I was sent flying again sliding against the floor but soon came to a stop by Ember. I got up and I was badly hurt I had only 13 health points left. “Rhino Are you okay? Your low on health.” Ember spoke. “Yeah gonna be fine I got a large health pod.” I replied. “Ok.” She poke. “Any one who whats a heal come to my position i’ll be dropping a health pod!” I shouted. Excalibur, Ash and a scientist came over. I saw Excalibur and ash was missing a bit health points but the scientist look fine so I assumed that he came to observe. “All right dropping!” I said as I took out a health pod pressed a few buttons and dropped letting it hit the floor as it let out a green energy wave which brought our health up by a 300 each a few seconds later we were fully healed. We went further in when past Hakkar spoke. “"Alright. I will. Now come, our little one is crying for us." Past Hakkar spoke. We finally got time to look around and what we mostly saw in front of us was water with tons golden flowers which grew in the water also many waterfalls where around the room spilling water out down to the pond. To the sides where a console. I went to the water where the flowers were When Hakkar spoke "Their beautiful..........Chakas." he said before he began to explain an item to me that was dear to him and he ended with "When I look at you...I'm reminded of that thing from long ago. It had the same feeling of hope." Before I stared down into the warter I saw Hakkar but wear a high ranking orokin suit he had which was During the Orokin era, Hakkar wore pristine white hooded robes to display his high status, and was only lightly armored. A simple gold breastplate was worn over the robes, and small, flexible armor was worn beneath the robes over his leggings and tunic to keep him agile, yet still able to withstand most small arms fire from potential disputes. Hakkar also wore a Noru Syandana. Hakkar also had a dark green sash draped over his robes. He also had a helmet on which was unique. The helm utilized folding layers of gold plate, lined internally with optic fibers that gave Hakkar a clear view to the outside. When in combat, the mouthpiece remains closed, yet the voice is still clearly broadcast through vocal transmitters. When on clerical duties, or enjoying his free time, the mouthpiece was permitted to remain open, and the advanced optics were allowed to be removed, leaving only the smooth golden plate of the largest segments. When completely removed, the face plates receded around Hakkar's head to a cradle directly behind his ears that was obscured by the hood, and the advanced optics slid upwards along his forehead to rest at his hairline. I saw Hakkar and back then he was very different he was… a tenno hating scientist! I couldn’t believe it! But I remembered the voices from before they was when Hakkar changed! What happened to make him change? I wondered. I looked down into the water and after a while I saw most of his memories. I was now watching one of his last memories which had the same woman from the other memories which was Hakkar’s Wife. She was a small petite teenage girl with long straight black hair with bangs. She had a red dot under each of her eyes while her eyes were gold in color. She wore a large, rounded gold transparent mask that is framed with two prominent antler-like extensions, which conceals the majority of her face. The clothes that she wears are of the highest quality, featuring both a long-sleeved black robe with embroidered red, yellow, and orange leaves on the fabric. Covering a large portion of her body is a red, flower ornate colored sash, encircling her waist. The large piece of red fabric that hangs from the center of her sash is embellished with an image of the Orokin symbol on it. Miyuki also wore sandals. The gold mask Miyuki wore over her face could split into two parts and rest on both sides of her head. Her mask would only cover her face when she was in combat similar to Hakkar's helmet. There is also a large crack going down the side of her mask. She seem to have loved us Tenno as she wanted us to live like some others wanted to. I regretted that I had to kill all of the Orokin people now. The memory stopped as Hakkar began to speak. "What is this? The Collapse of the Orokin Empire?" Hakka spoke through the outer com system in my suit so everyone could hear. “What have you found Hakkar?” I asked. "Oh god! Yo..you killed them all of them! Even the children!" He shouted. That’s when it hit me, he was reading through the Archives we had. "Why would you do this?! Wait the Lotus, she's a Sentient?!" Hakkar continued to speak. "You animals! You killed her, my wife! And to think she trusted you! I trusted you!" He spoke OH no...what have we done… “Hakkar calm down!” I spoke. "Let me ask you this Tenno, if your Lotus ordered you to kill me, would you?" He asked us. I looked back to my fellow tenno but they shrugged. ‘sigh’ “Hakkar I would not because we realised we were being used being deceived by lotus not too long before I found you, we don’t trust Lotus anymore but many other tenno that haven’t seen what we have seen still trust her” I spoke as I gestured to my group. “I am sorry Hakkar I wished I could have done my actions differently but I was naive at that time. I spoke softly while looking at the floor is regret. "I don't want hear your excuses anymore. I was right, we should've destroyed you all when we had the chance!" He spoke. ‘Maybe you're right Hakkar’ I thought. "You probably murdered him too. Oh god! He was just a newborn and you ended him before he could even open his eyes! Oh god, my son my sweet little boy Zavar. Why!" He shouted. ‘Wait Zavar? Hakkar’s a Father?’ I thought. "I thought you were my friend Rhino." He spoke. “I will always be your friend Hakkar” I softly spoke. "Let me ask you this Tenno, how many of your own kind did you slaughter at the victory celebration? When you were covered in our finest silk how many of your fellow Orokin did you cut down before you went to sleep?" Hakkar asked. “I...I do not remember Hakkar none of us do we just know it was our doing…I’m very sorry Hakkar…” I spoke. "I've heard enough. You can all die in the Void where you came from." He said in anger before he cut the coms. I went over to a wall and sat against it. ‘Hakkar i’m so sorry is there any way I can repay you?’I thought I sat there for a while but I decided to butt it aside for later so I went over to the water once again and looked into it and what I saw was unexpected. What I saw was Hakkar and Miyuki working on building me the Rhino Prime warframe. I was shocked to see this but I was taken out of my thoughts when I heard someone yell my name. “Rhino come and take a look at this!” Excalibur shouted. “Alright i’m coming!” I said. When I came over what I saw was a small pod that seemed to have risen out of the water. On the pod I read ‘Zavar’ before it opened revealing an infant which belonged to Hakkar who was rapped in fine white silk which had a golden trimmings around the edges of the cloth. The infant began to cry Nyx reached out and took Zavar and calmed him down. “It’s Hakkar’s Son!” Ash exclaimed. “Have everyone gotten the data they need?” I asked. Every one Replied with a nod or a yes sir! “Good I think it’s time we leave and bring Zavar to Hakkar” I spoke. “Yes sir!” My tenno replied but the Scientists the sulked I guessed they wanted to spend more time here. “But Rhino how will we deal with Hakkar?” Loki asked. “Let me deal with him I think he’s mostly mad at me that you guys.” I spoke. “Alright.” Loki asked. The way back to our ships was very quiet and I got Excaliber to take the scientists and what remained of its escorts back to Equestria. Once I dock at the Dojo I rushed over to where Hakkar was with his son in my arms. I came to the door that led to the room Hakkar was in but their was a problems it was locked. I placed Zavar down and grabbed the edges of the door and slid them apart breaking the locks in the meantime. I picked Zavar up and entered I saw Hakkar had really let his anger out on this place as many things are in pieces. I looked around and saw Hakkar hunched over the only console that weren’t smashed. “Hey Hakkar it’s good to see you left a console intact but anyways I’m sorry about what us Tenno did but to tell you we didn’t really kill everyone and I have someone here you’ll recognise.” I spoke before Zavar let out a giggle as he payed with my Syandana that I handed him to keep him from crying. Hakkar’s head shot up when he heard the giggle. I stood up and turned to face me but his gaze was on the bundle in my arms. “Oh who’s that then!?” He spoke. “Well why don’t you take a look?” I spoke as I handed Zavar over to Hakkar. I watched as he opened the bundle and was shocked to see who he was holding but it quickly turned into happiness as he held his son close to his chest as he started to cry tears of Happiness. I quickly made my way to my quarters before to check on a few things I got from the tower. I arrived at my quarters and saw what I got which was blueprints to Saryn Prime and her parts, a blueprint to a Nikana Prime and a Spira Prime blueprint. > Returning to Canterlot > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Returning to Canterlot. I was about to leave my room as Hakkar knocked at the door, I went over to answer the door. Opening the door letting Hakkar in. Hakkar came in with Zavar in his hands. “Hey what can I do for you Hakkar?” I asked. “Oh nothing I came… I came to apologize for those words i said towards you and the Tenno.” Hakkar apologized. “What you have nothing to apologize for, I completely, I would have probably have done the same thing if I was in your shoes.” I spoke as I held his shoulders and looked him strait in the eyes. “I’m only glad that I still have you as a friend and I could reunite you with your son also not every one from the Orokin Empire is dead.” I spoke as I released him. “What do you mean?” Hakkar asked. ‘Chuckle’ “The Corpus and the Grineer are still here but very Different from what you remember.” I spoke. “But how Different?” he asked. “Why don’t you read it for yourself? Anyways I’m gonna go back down and reunite With my family.” I said while I packed up what I needed. “Well i’m not going to stop you then, have fun.” Hakkar said as I left with what I got from the trip. As I entered my Hangar I saw Excalibur waiting for me by my ship. “What to lazy to take your own ship down to your surface?” I asked him. “Ha ha no I would have but I have no place to live down there and I also thought you could use some company.” He replied. “I would love the company but you could simply ask Celestia if she could lend you a room, but I’ll gladly help you out so hop on.” I spoke as when went aboard the Liset. We made the trip down go fast with idle conversation and soon we successfully landed in the field I was Given when I first came here. I also Got my Kubrow out of stasis which is named Shadow because I wanted to introduce my Family to him and the other way round. Rushing the reviving of Shadow I was able to get him active almost immediately. Once we were outside I was assaulted by two Cute bundles of fur. “Daddy!” Red Rose and Blue Sky shouted as they jumped and hugged me. “Hey you two How’s it been?” I asked. “We have missed you so much!” Red Rose shouted. I soon heard someone laughing to my left and saw it was Excaliber. “I can’t believe that the mighty Rhino fell to two fillies.” He spoke. “Hey I can’t help it everyone knows that i’m weak against puncture damage and extreme cuteness!” I replied while I hugged the little ones. “I’m not cute!” Blue Sky spoke. “Of Course you are.” I replied before I ruffled her mane which i got a pout form her in return. Before I got slapped across the face with a White hoof. “How dare you be gone for so long! I almost thought you were dead!” Quick Strike said before she hugged me and began to cry. “It’s okay i’m here and alive no need to worry” I spoke as I hugged her back. I quickly noticed that her belly was slightly swollen but almost unnoticeable. It took awhile before she stopped crying but she eventually did also releasing me from the hug at the same time. “Thanks, I’m glad your back now.” She spoke. “Your welcome So what did I miss while I was away?” I asked. “I found out what gender our unborn foal is.” She spoke. “Hmm what’s the gender? Don’t keep me waiting!” I replied. “It’s gonna be a colt” She replied. “Hmmm He’s gonna be a handsome colt for sure.” I spoke which brought a smile to Quick Strike’s beautiful lips. “There’s also an show and tell at the School, but…the kids don’t really have anything to show the school.” Quick Strike spoke. “I is that so?”I asked the kids. “Yes Daddy we couldn’t find anything intriguing enough to show the whole school.” Blue Sky spoke. “What do you have in mind?” I asked. “We would like to show them an awesome pet we had.” Blue Sky replied. “But what made you want to do that when you don’t even have a pet?” I asked. “Umm my friends and I betted each other who had the most awesome pet ever.” She replied. “Hmmm most awesome pet ever?” I asked. Which I received several nods from my daughters. I let out a small chuckle before I spoke. “I can easily solve that, I even wanted to introduce you all to my Kubrow Shadow.” I spoke before I let out a whistle. Several seconds went by before Shadow came running to my side from the door of the liset. I stood up and petted Shadow as I watched the reactions of my Family. Quick Strikes had the look of shock plastered to her face from the size of shadow and his armor he’s wearing. Which is the Kavasa Prime Armor, and the fillies were pure excitement. “So what do you three think?” I asked. “Wow it’s size is incredible and why is it wearing Armor?” Quick Strike asked. “Soo cooool can we use it for show and tell?” I two fillies asked. “He’s wearing armor because I use him when I go into battle and sure you're allowed if I come along.” I spoke. “Yay! Thank you daddy!” The two said as they hugged both of my legs. “Your welcome and please refer to him as shadow or him or he, he doesn't like being called it.” I spoke. “Yes Daddy!” They replied. “All right we should head home.” I spoke. So we started walking towards where I lived with Quick Strike and the kids, but we ran into someone. “Ahh it’s the Tenno who I was looking for.” A white stallion with a blonde mane and a tie around his neck spoke as he trotted towards me. “Yes? Who are you?” I asked. “Oh my manners I’m Prince Blue Blood it’s a pleasure to meet you.” Blue Blood spoke. “It’s nice to meet you Blue Blood, I’m Rhino Prime Leader of the Phoenix Clan What can i Do for you?” I asked. “ I would like to speak to you in Private?” He spoke. “Your four head on home with Shadow i’ll be there.” I spoke to Excalibur and my family. Once they left I turned back to face Blue Blood. “Lead the way.” I spoke. Once i said those three words he led me into the castle and towards a door. Behind the door was a simple small room with a desk a lamp and a window that light was coming through and lighting the room up and no decor or anything just plain white. “So what do you want?” I asked. “Aaa yes but let me explain some things first.” He spoke. “All right go on.” I spoke to him as he waited for my answer. “First thing i’m in charge of a secret service here, we keep an eye on anything and anyone on this planet, I know it’s intruding on the privacy of the innocents but it’s for the best.” He spoke. “So you're a secret agents but what am I doing here?” I asked. “Aaa yes there’s a problem going on near the Gryphon Kingdom, one of the settlements which is called Griffonstone, one of my agents have reported they are being turned into hideous creatures that attack anything on sight.” He spoke. ‘Hmmm hideous and attack anything on sight...sounds like the infestation could it be? But if it is the infestation how did they arrive here?’ “Do you know what they look like?” I asked. “Yes one of our agents got a few photos before he had to flee from those creatures.” He spoke as he placed the photos he had on the table. Taking a good look at the photos and I was shocked at what I saw. The first photo was of an infested Charger the second was what I believed was a gryphon, so an infested gryphons are a thing now for the infestation and the third and last one was of an ancient. “This is extremely troubling.” I spoke. “Wait you know what they are?” Blue Blood asked. “Yes they are called the infestation which is a virus that will take full control over any organic being.” I replied. “Wow, we must alert the royal Guard and fight back! And remove this virus from this planet.” He spoke. “Your group nor the Royal guard will be doing anything it’s too dangerous and stupid this is for the Tenno only.” I replied. “Why! Why aren’t we allowed to do anything?” He asked. “Because your troops will just become infested and make the infestation stronger and harder to remove.” I answered. “Well then how about you surely you can get infested?” He replied. “Thats where your wrong, us Tenno are immune the the technocyte virus which makes us the best candidate to remove the infestation.” I answered. He didn’t reply immediately which made the room so quiet that you could cut it with a knife. “Alright i’ll hold it to you that you do remove this virus.” He spoke. “You don’t need to worry, i’ll be taking my leave now have a good day.” I replied as I left through the window and headed straight towards Home. Out side My home. I was nearing my home on Equestria I made my way towards the door and pushed it open yelling “I’m Home” I was greeted with two fillies crashing into me once again. “It’s nice to see you two again.” I spoke before I heard a giggle which turned out to be Quick Strike. “Let your Father go you two” She spoke as the the two let me go and left into the living room. “Thanks hun Where’s Excalibur?” I asked as I stood up. “Your welcome and he’s in the kitchen.” She asked. “Thanks hun your a real sweetie.” I said as I walked past he and slapped her behind earning a surprised eep from her. Looking back I saw she had a sultry look as her surprise vanished quickly. Entering the Kitchen I saw Excalibur sitting at the table reading a book he found. “Houston we have a problem” I spoke. He closed his book and placed it on the table before he turned his head and spoke “Remembering the old times?” He asked. “Yup i am an i’m sure you miss them too.” I spoke. “Yeah I do but anyway what’s the Problem?” He asked again. ‘Sigh’ “The infestation has Reached Equestria.” I spoke. “Yeah that is a Problem.” Excalibur spoke. “The infestation?” I heard Quick Strike speak. Turning around I saw that she was standing by the door and had a face of confusion and worry on. “Well it was a long time ago during the rule of the Orokin Empire they controlled the Origin system…” I started to tell the story on how the infestation came to be. An hour latter I ended the story only to be met with the face of horror which was the face of Quick Strike. “Such a terrible weapon! How could they even decide to create something like that!” She spoke. “They were desperate and in that desperation ended up creating us.” I spoke. “Oh wow…” She spoke “Hey where’s Shadow?” I asked. “Oh I found a bed for him to sleep in up stairs which he is sleeping in right now.” She spoke. “Thanks hun, how about in the meantime shadow sleeps we all take the kids somewhere to have some fun?” I asked. “I heard that the annual fair just opened we could take them there?” She spoke. “That’s a great idea i’ll get the kids.” I spoke. So I did just that. > Chapter 15 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 15. Time skip to School show and tell. Standing behind stage with Red Rose and Blue sky while they’re sitting on Shadow’s back. “Daddy we are nervous.” Blue Sky spoke. Crouching down to meet them. “Hmmm it’ll all be all right i’ll be with you two.” I spoke. “Thanks daddy.” They spoke. We’re waiting for our turn for our fame and if you're wondering why the friends of Red rose aren’t here? Well let’s just say their turn came early. We heard the show that had been going on before come to a stop. Noticing the previous pony step of stage. After an applause the announcer spoke “Wow that sure was a spectacular show of magic from Star Shine! Up next Red Rose and Blue Sky showing their Kubrow?” “Well that's our cue.” I spoke as I went towards the entrance to the stage with Shadow following me with the fillies on his Back. Coming out on stage us three waved to the crowd as we got an applause. “Greetings everyone you might be wondering who I am which I’m gonna get out of the way, I’m Rhino Prime you might have heard about me and you might not but anyways I’m the master of Shadow which is the Kubrow and the farther to Red Rose and Blue Sky now that's out of the way let’s give it to Red Rose and Blue Sky!” I spoke. “Ummm Hi everyone we would like to show you Shadow our Kubrow!” Red Rose spoke. “A Kubrow is a battle Companion for a Tenno but they also make great cuddle companions too!” Blue sky spoke. The crowd was a little disgusted a pet could be used as a battle companion. “We would also like to show you what Shadow can do which my daddy will Explain!” Red rose spoke before they got off Shadow. “Alright one thing first there are different types of Kubrow and mine is a Raksa Kubrow Which is genetically modified to be Loyal and Obedient and having a personal shield generator equipped and come with two abilities which is howl and Protect. First ability howl which is what the ability sounds like, the Kubrow howls terrifying the enemies and the second ability Protect which just regenerates my shield when they drop. With that explained are there any questions?” I spoke. I saw a lime green hoof rise. “Yes, you there!” I spoke. A small colt rose and asked. “How old is it?” Before he sat back down. “Hmm good question, Shadow is a young Kubrow about the age of 21 in our age” I spoke. I saw another hoof which was a dark shade of grey rise. “Yes you there!” I spoke. The pony in question rose to her feet and asked “May I pet him?” “Yeah, how about at the end of the show i’ll be outside with shadow and my kids where you all could come and pet Shadow.” I spoke which brought up chatter between parent and foal. Time skip School entrance. I stood in front of the school watching Red Rose, Blue sky having fun in the playground while Shadow was having the time of his life being cuddled to death. When I saw a cyan pony with a rainbow mane walking towards me. Once she was a few feet away I spoke. “Greetings Rainbow what can I do for ya?” I asked. “Hey Rhino, um nothing much.” She spoke while she looked around trying to avoid eye contact. “Rainbow I know you have something on your mind now spit it out.” I spoke. “Er yeah can I ask you a favor?” She asked. “Sure what you want?” I asked. “Well it’s more for scootaloo than for me and I would like to get one of those flying thingy I saw you have on your waist when you flew around before.” she spoke. “Wait you want to give Scootaloo an archwing? Can’t she fly herself?” I asked. “Well um you see something happened to her wings since her birth which made her wings unable to grow at all.” Rainbow spoke. This took me by surprize, I sat there for a moment not responding to anything at all until I felt myself shake. “Yo Rhino you there?” I heared Rainbow speak. “Oh sorry fazed out there for a while, anyways sorry I didn’t know at all” I spoke. “It’s allright but are you gonna get me an archwing as a gift for Scootaloo?” She asked. “Yeah sure I will make her one just need some measurements then I can get started on an Itzel type Archwing that’s if she likes to go fast.” I spoke. “ I’m sure she likes to go fast and alright Scootaloo is here with me i'll go and get her.” She spoke. A few minutes went by before she came back with Scootaloo. “Here’s Scootaloo.” Rainbow spoke. “Thanks Rainbow.” I spoke before I bent down to Scootaloo “Hello young one can you please stay still for a moment.” I spoke which she gave a nod to. I started to scan her and soon found the right measurements for her. “Thank you little one” I spoke as I ruffled her mane before I stood up. “There I got everything I need” I spoke. “Thank you Rhino.” Rainbow Dash spoke. “No Problem Dash” I spoke. “Infestation Presence near your location!” Ordis spoke before a terrifying screech came followed by screams. Reacting instantly I ran towards the screams. Running around the corner to the other part of the playground I saw 10 fillies two of them mine being chased by chargers and other infestation units, and boy there were many. Red Rose and Blue sky saw me and shouted. “Daddy help!” “Go run! I’ll deal with this!” I spoke before I casted Iron skin and Roar before the Infestation reached me. Bringing out my Dark Split Dark sword I started slashing at them. Using the Tempo Royale stance against the infestation kept them at bay as I slammed the ground every few swings causing them to fall to the ground. But they kept flooding in but I did see the end to their stream coming. Several minutes went by as I swang my sword. -Pov change: Red Rose- My sister and I were playing in the playgrounds with our friends before we heard a screech, turning to face the direction we saw horrifying creatures charging at us. We turned screaming and ran in the directions where we knew the grown ups would be and hopefully daddy to. We soon saw our dad come running around the corner, I guess he must have heard our screams. “Daddy!” I shouted. He replied with “go run! I’ll deal with this!” We soon rounded the corner where all the adults where and finally safe. I saw the other foals went straight to their parents scared. But Daddy is out there facing those creatures. I saw Blue Sky must be thinking about daddy also before facing me and asked. “Will Daddy be okay?” Blue Sky spoke. “I hope so but I think he doesn't mind If we peak around the corner.” I replied to Blue Sky. “Okay.” Blue Sky replied. So we went and peaked. What we saw was astonishing. Daddy was fighting and kill...killing these creatures with his creepy sword of his. We kept watching until he had killed them all. Then out of nowhere something huge slammed into him sending him flying. “Daddy!” we screamed which I instantly regretted as the huge creature turned to face us. -Pov Change: Rhino Prime- I stood victorious over the corpses of the infestation. But that victory was short lived as I saw a Juggernaught charging right at me which sent me flying for a few meters before i skid to a stop on the pavement. Standing up I saw that the beast was going after the foals. I roared and rhino charged at the beast, slamming into the beast before it could do any harm to the foals, towards the building. Looking to my right I saw Red Rose and Blue Sky and spoke “are you alright?” I spoke. They gave a nod back and that is what all I needed. Entering the new hole I made in the school walls I saw the beast getting up. I ran right at it once close enough I jumped bring out my sword channeling all of my energy into it, landing on the beast’s back I plunged the largest blade of my sword into the beast’s back where the skin breaks in two. Killing the beast immediately as the energy consumed every atom of its living body. Walking out of the building I saw that the royal guard had finally arrived with Princess Celestia in front of the group of guards. I went over to the Princess and spoke. “Princess”. “Greetings Rhino we were alerted that the school was under attack but I see that you have already taken care of that and may I ask by who?” Celestia asked. “Princess you really need to find a better way of getting information from one place to another faster and to mobilize the guard. And by whom? An enemy you can’t imagine to fight which is the infestation.” I spoke. “Ordis get a team down here to sterilise the place.” I spoke to Ordis. Turning around I shouted. “Red Rose and Blue Sky we’re going home” I spoke. Turning around and walking past the Princess and the guards the kids and Shadow came running to my side. > Chapter 16: What a Lovely Day! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 16: What a Lovely Day. (short chapter) I wish I woken up later in the morning but I had duties to attend to for example Scootaloo's gift. Which should be finishing up in an hour. Getting out of bed I heard Quick strike whimper. I turned around and placed a body pillow near her so she could hug something. (Yes Quick Strike became Huggy all of a sudden.) I watched her grab and hug the pillow, with a huge smile plastered on her face. Walking down, writing a note explaining where I went and placing it on the dining table. After completing that task I sprinted over to my ship. More like bullet jumping over houses. Once I arrived I quickly Equipped my arch wing and rushed the production with the little platinum I had. Digitizing the arch-wing I quickly flew off towards Ponyville. I quickly sent a message to Excalibur Prime and Hakkar to grab their arch-wings and meet me near Ponyville. A few minutes later they met up with me and I told them what I had in mind which they thought was a great Idea. As we flew I saw that Scootaloo's party has started and she seemed to look pretty bored and sad? Pinkie was trying to cheer her up but to no avail. We decided to make our entrance. We slowly descended with me in the front holding the archwing. While Excalibur and Hakkar where at my side but a bit further back. Touching down we folded our arch-wings and slowly walking towards Scootaloo. I started playing music which is just the sounds of the void just louder. This caught the attention of everyone present. Scootaloo was eying the arch-wing trying to figure out what it was. Stopping once I was near I spoke. “Scootaloo.” I spoke. “Y..yes?” She replied. “It’s time for you to ascend to the heavens.” I spoke. “What do you mean?” She asked. “We have hear of your inability to fly and we wish to fix that.” I spoke. As she heard that her eyes went big a saucers. “You’ll do that for me?” She asked. “Yes but we’ll gonna have to remove your original wings.” I spoke. After hearing that her eyes shrunk to pinpricks “W...what!?” She spoke. “Don’t worry you won’t feel it at all.” I spoke. Quickly Sending a message to trinity and Limbo to get down here. “Um alright” She spoke as Trinity and Limbo got down here. “Limbo place us into the Void so the crowd doesn't see what goes on here and Limbo I need you to transfer all the pain Scootaloo receives to me.” I spoke. Both of them nodding and doing their job. Once their task was done they spectated us as we went to work. Hakkar being the scientist started to remove the original wings of scootaloo as I took the pain. Soon Hakkar was finished replacing the original wings with the arch-wings Limbo placed us back to the real void as Trinity stopped transferring all the pain to me. “Well we’re done wanna try you new wings out scoots?” I asked. “Yeah!” She shouted as she tried to fly but failing. “Hey I thought you would be able to fly!” She shouted. We all had a good laugh at this. “Hey what are you laughing at?” She yelled at us. “Scoot's right now your wings are locked which will deactivate them all you have to do is activate them by thought.” I spoke. She tried again and succeeding in activating the arch-wings causing her to hover. “Yay! Ok now how do I move?” She asked. “Again it’s all by thought just think in which direction you wanna go and it will follow your orders.” I spoke. She tried this out by zooming up and around Ponyville before coming back to a stop here. “Having fun?” I asked. “Yeah Thanks!” She said as she went and hug each one of us. “You're very welcome if you have problems just come to one of us and we’ll fix it for you.” I spoke. > Chapter 17: Unexpected Arrivals. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 17: Unexpected Arrivals. I laid awake next to Quick strike stroking her swollen belly. A few minutes went by before she woke up due to a strong contraction. She looked at me with hatred in her eyes “I’m gonna kill you one day.” She said before getting up and leaving the room. Two minutes went by before I heard Quick Strike scream. Quickly getting out of bed, grabbing my Sarpa I had on a desk. I ran down stairs, finding my wife standing up against a wall. With fear in her eyes, looking at something. Coming to a stop in front of her pointing the gun in the direction she was looking at. I was more than surprised to see who stood there in her glory. “Lotus?” I paused “What are you doing here?” I asked. “My child I only wish to see how you are doing all this time and possibly make relations between our nation and Equestria.” She answered. Before she came and lowered my gun. “Now who’s the heavily pregnant mare behind you?” She asked. I stood there stock still until I noticed she spoke to me. “Um this is my wife Quick Strike who is carrying our unborn child.” I replied pausing. “Oh and honey this is my mother Lotus.” I introduced both of them. Turning around I saw Quick Strike calming down as she went back onto all fours. “Oh um Hi I’m Quick Strike nice too meet you.” She introduced herself. “Wait if your mother is a ruler of a nation and your her son.” She paused. “That means your royalty and i’m royalty since i’m married to you, why didn’t you tell me this!” She yelled at me. “Because I don’t want to be seen as royalty.” I answered. “Oh um okay but I still think it would be best you tell me more secrets after this ordeal.” Quick Strike spoke before she grunted in pain and clutching her belly. “You alright?” I asked as I came down and held her. “It’s just the contractions are getting worse” She paused. “Otherwise I’m alright.” She replied. “Okay just tell me anything you need and i’ll do it.” I spoke. “Thanks hun.” She replied. “Your welcome.” I said as I got back up. “Mother I’ll escort you to Princess Celestia.” I said. “Go ahead” said Lotus. “I’m also coming with you” I heard Quick Strike speak. “Fine let’s go.” I spoke after I grabbed my equipment which consists of the newly build Galatine Prime, Soma Prime and the Hikou Prime. We head out the door towards canterlot castle. As we walked through the streets of canterlot we passed many nobles and commoners as they stared at my mother. I heard them whisper “Who is that?”, “Ughh I don’t want to know.”, “Be careful it could be the leader of the those Tenno.” coming from nobles and commoners. I got a gut feeling that something will happen and called down Loki Prime to be a cloaked assassin that was walking on the other side of Lotus and Ash Prime to take up a sniper position, on one of the towers overlooking Canterlot castle. We came to the gates were we were halted. “Halt who goes there?” A guard spoke up. “You already know who I am let us pass.” I shouted. “I didn’t mean you I meant it.” The Guard replied. “You would mind your words since you're speaking to my mother and the leader of the Tenno Order.” I said as I went and loomed over him. His eyes shrunk to pinpricks as he heard what I said. “Please accept my sincere apologies your Highness.” He spoke. “Apology accepted.” Lotus Replied. “If I may ask why are you here?” The guard asked. “Only to start relations between you nation and mine.” She answered. “Thank you your Highness.” He said before bowing and opening the gate, letting us pass. We neared our destination as we stood in front of the two giant oak doors that led to the throne room. Pushing them open we entered and there sat princess Celestia on her throne reading a scroll. As she heard the two doors close she looked up and took notice of the three guests she had. “Greetings Rhino and Quick Strike” She greeted my wife and I. “And who may you be?” She asked. “Princess Celestia I wish to Introduce my mother Lotus who is also the leader of the Tenno order.” I introduced Lotus to Princess Celestia. “Greetings your highness, this is a pleasant surprise to meet the ruler of a nation beyond the stars.” Princess Celestia said. “It’s quite alright Princess I only wish to create a strong bond between our great nations.” Lotus replied. “Please follow me, we can talk more about this over some tea.” Celestia said. We started to follow Celestia to the dining room as both of them started negotiating. Entering the dining hall Celestia and Lotus sitting opposite each other at a table while I and Quick Strike sat at a separate table. Loki Prime being cloaked hung on the walls ready to attack anyone who dared to hurt our mother. Hours went on as they talked to each other before the windows shattered as ponies dressed in red robes came crashing through them. “Well well this is unexpected two princess Celestia and a foreign leader together to be killed.” Spoke what I assumed to be the leader of the group. “Oh I wouldn’t do that while I’m around” I said as I left Quick Strike’s side and stood in front of my mother and princess Celestia. “Oh I would, I would kindly ask you to step aside if you don’t want anything to happen to your wife and unborn foal.” He said with a malevolent grin. “I think you're underestimating the ability of the tenno.” I coldly said. “I don’t believe so and I won’t ask again, please move aside and we will spare your wife.” He said. “Well you wished for Death” I said as I messaged Loki to kill the pony that held my wife. Also messaging Ash to line up a shot to kill one that was near Celestia and to teleport to another, as he stabbed the unlucky pony through his neck. “For us tenno we don’t fear anyone as we are powerful to bring an empire down in a day if we want to. Oh Ash Blade storm but leave the leader alive.” I said before I threw four Hikou Prime blades towards the leader, one for each leg. The leader dropping to the ground in pain as he watched his companions fall without any resistance. All of this happened as Lotus sat there sipping her cup of tea as nothing had happened at all. But for Celestia, well she was calm but not as much as Lotus. “Well done Rhino saving both Celestia, your wife and I” She paused. “It’s about time you were promoted to Gold Hunter.” Lotus said. After that being said the mastery logo on my back changed. “Thank you Lotus.” I said with gratitude. “Hun…” I heard my wife mutter. Turning around I saw Quick Strike sitting down on a pool of water clutching her belly. Rushing over I spoke “What’s wrong?” I asked. “It’s time…arghh” Quick strike said as another contraction set in. “It’s going to be alright hun just hold on” I said. Picking my wife up being careful not to harm her nor the foal, I turned around and asked. “Where’s the nearest hospital?” I asked Celestia. “There two streets away” Celestia said as she pointed to a building with a red cross on top. “Thanks” I replied before Bullet jumping out a shattered window. Landing on a roof I checked on my wife seeing her leaning against my arm, clutching her belly and in pain told me I had to hurry. I jumped over to another building which was a bit taller causing me to barely catch the edge of the roof. Making my way back up I asked “how you holding up?” I asked. “Shut up and get going!” She shouted in my face. “On it” I replied. Landing on the ground in front of the hospitalI charge through the doors causing them to fall off their hinges and startling the patients and doctors inside. “My wife needs help now!” I shouted. It took a moment but eventually nurses came rushing over with a stretcher. Placing Quick Strike on the stretcher they took off towards a room. I was following suit as they rolled her into a room. Entering I saw my wife hooked up, legs spread and heard doctors shouting. Coming over to Quick Strike’s side and held her hoof. “Oh celestia help me!” Quick Strike shouted. “I’m here honey the void is with you today.” I spoke. “I need you to push” the doctor spoke. I held my wife hooves until I heard what I feared to hear. “We’re going to lose her!” A nurse shouted. The same nurse came over to me and spoke. “I’m afraid we are going to lose your wife.” She spoke. I quickly stood up and shouted in the coms to the dojo “Trinity get down here now!” I shouted. I forgot to mute my external speakers enabling them to hear what I shouted. “Who’s Trinity?!” Another nurse asked. Soon Trinity came bursting through the doors. “Reporting what do you need?” Trinity asked. “Link me with my wife diverting all her pain to me now!” I shouted. “Yes sir!” She asked. “Are you two crazy you just can’t divert pain from a body to another!” the doctor said. “If I was you doctor I would get my foal out of my wife before I turn you into smashed pony!” I shouted in his face. Nodding furiously the doctor asked Quick Strike to push once again. And all the pain came rushing to me quickly draining my shields. As the foal was almost out I was down to 10 health points. I watched Quick Strike gave the final push before I fell completely limp. Trinity’s Pov: As Rhino’s wife gave the final push which took the final health points out from him I watched him die. I saw Quick Strike and the nurses take notice of Rhino, as the nurses came over and picked him up. Quick Strike Began to cry while screaming his name as she was handed her foal. “You gotta help my husband!” I heard Quick strike shout at me. I slowly went over to her and place a hand on her shoulder. “Look I don’t know if he told you this but that is just a surrogate body his real body is within the somatic link, so in a few seconds he’ll revive the body you see before you now.” I assured her. I saw her look skeptically at me before replying “Okay.” She replied. A few second went by before Rhino’s resurrection. Rhino’s Pov: After resurrecting my self I quickly walked over to my wife and trinity. Coming over I quickly hugged her and stroked our new born foal as it gave out a giggle. Turning over to Trinity “Thank you.” I said. “You're very welcome and there might be something your wife wants to know.” She replied. Nodding “you are dismissed you may leave.” I said. Watching Trinity leave I turned to face my wife. “So how you holding up?” I asked. “Despite me thinking you died i’m doing alright.” She answered. “You thought I died?” I paused. “Oh I didn’t tell you did I?” I asked. “No you didn’t but you don’t have to Trinity explained it already.” My wife answered. “Hmm okay what are we gonna name our new little one?” I asked. “Hmmmm how do you call your foal in your country?” She asked. “Well I dunno we just decide on a name and it gets the last name of both parents.” I replied. “Hmm since it’s a male Bastion Strike...what’s your last name?” She asked. Smiling “depending on what body.” I replied. “The one that's in the somatic link.” She said. “Well I don’t have a last name there I’m only called Marscup.” I replied. “Then we’ll take the last l name of the current body you're in now.” She said with a hint of sleepiness. “Then it’s Bastion Strike Prime.” I spoke pausing after kissing both my wife and Bastion on the forehead “You deserve some rest I’ll go and take care of Red Rose and Blue Sky.” I said. “Thanks honey tomorrow can I see your real body?” she asked. “Sure no problem.” I replied before she fell asleep. I turn around and told the doctor to watch over her before I left for home.
