Getting a little burnt out writing "The Mercenary", so I figured I'd blow off some steam with a quick thing. Three parts at best, maybe?
-
2.
-
3.
Part One:
-
4.
>As Micro Chips flees down the hallway, terror in his eyes, you can't help the satisfied smirk that drifts across your face
-
5.
>Another day, another nerd parted with his lunch money
-
6.
>Stuffing the handful of bills in your pocket, you wonder what you'll treat yourself to today
-
7.
>Most of the staff in this dump is woefully incompetent, but you'd be hard pressed to say anything bad about Granny Smith
-
8.
>She's old enough to not be intimidated by you, and she makes the best damn apple pie you've had across two worlds
-
9.
>You huff amusedly at the quip as you primp your red-and-yellow toned hair, tossing it back over your shoulder and giving the sleeves of your leather jacket a tug to get them more comfortable
-
10.
>(You) are Sunset Shimmer
-
11.
>Former prodigy of Princess Celestia in Equestria, and current queen of this Public School in this human world
-
12.
>And if that seems like a massive step down, well
-
13.
>That's because it obviously is
-
14.
>But that's fine, in about two months you'll be back where you rightfully belong
-
15.
>Placed on the hierarchy where you should be properly placed
-
16.
>And as for everypony who tried to deny you those spots?
-
17.
>Well, they'll be dealt with appropriately
-
18.
>Your mind wanders as you indulge in thinking of how you'll dole out your vengeance, walking on auto-pilot towards the cafeteria
-
19.
>Of course, while it's enjoyable once in awhile to revel in revenge fantasies, logically speaking it's not very wise to do so while you're traveling through the halls of the school
-
20.
>Most of the student body is smart enough to stay out of your way, but...
-
21.
"Oof!"
-
22.
>As you collide with another person, you're thoroughly reminded that some people are just too stupid to know how to handle themselves
-
23.
>Rubbing at your hip in irritation, you see a flash of green enter your vision from above
-
24.
>It's a hand
-
25.
>A hand you've quickly come to recognize, which makes your already poor mood sour even more
-
26.
>Sure enough, when you follow up that arm, past the shoulder, to see the face of your assailant
-
27.
>"Hey, sorry about that Sunset. Guess I had my head a bit too high in the clouds."
-
28.
>There he is, chipper as ever
-
29.
>Anonymous F. Aggot
-
30.
>About the only person in this school "your age" (lets not think too much about that right now) that still has the nerve to look you in the eye without you deigning to do so first
-
31.
>Grinning in a manner more charitable people would describe as 'good naturedly' (you prefer moronically)
-
32.
>Keeping his hand out, waiting patiently for you to take it
-
33.
>Your brow furrows as you swat it out of your way to get up on your own power
-
34.
"Get that dirty thing out of my face, Anonymous. Who knows where that's been?"
-
35.
>At that Anonymous just laughs and rests his hands on his hips
-
36.
>"Fair enough. You alright? Took a pretty hard spill there."
-
37.
"Don't pretend you actually care. If you want me to not sic Flash on you you'll get down on your knees and give me a real apology."
-
38.
>It's a bit of a bluff admittedly - Flash has been... distant, lately
-
39.
>Not that you especially care about his emotional availability, given that you're just using him to bolster your own status
-
40.
>But it does make it difficult to get your toy to do the things you want him to, which is a problem
-
41.
>Your only other gophers are Snips and Snails
-
42.
>And while they're surprisingly sneaky and can... mostly follow directions, provided they're not too complicated
-
43.
>You don't think they could beat up someone even as slight as Anon
-
44.
>You've seen better coordination out of drunken Yak dignitaries, seriously
-
45.
>As you expected though, Anon just flashes you another grin
-
46.
>"Sorry, doctor said I shouldn't strain my knees too much. Tell Flash to go easy on me when you send him after me, would you? See you around, Sunset."
-
47.
>And doesn't even wait for a response before he continues on his way, despite your irritated protests
-
48.
"I wasn't done with you, Anon!"
-
49.
>"Time waits for no man!"
-
50.
>And he waves without turning back
-
51.
>This fucking guy...
-
52.
>Anonymous is a fairly recent transfer, as far as you can tell
-
53.
>Showed up at the start of the year, slotted into Junior Classes and immediately made...
-
54.
>Zero splash
-
55.
>Academically? His grades are just 'fine', upper middle of the pack at best
-
56.
>Socially? A bit of a loner, but not in an unfriendly way
-
57.
>Aesthetically? Nothing much to speak of - verdant green skin, somewhat long hair that rests just past his shoulders, a dark olive green that, combined with the length of it, reminds you of seaweed
-
58.
>Torn up jeans, graphic tees, and scuffed shoes
-
59.
>Realistically, there's nothing about this guy that should put him on your radar
-
60.
>Except...
-
61.
>Despite you making it very clear you think of him as a bug to be stepped on, he insists on trying to be friendly with you
-
62.
>You can't figure out what his angle is
-
63.
>Anonymous wouldn't be the first person to try and ingratiate themselves to you
-
64.
>Snips and Snails were the obvious examples
-
65.
>The idiots waited on you hand and foot purely so that you wouldn't crush them under your heel
-
66.
>Anonymous didn't have the vibe of a minion, though
-
67.
>Far too sunny for your liking
-
68.
>He didn't seem stupid enough to think he had a shot with you
-
69.
>Having Flash on your arm made your standards very apparent, and he fell far short of them
-
70.
>But when every other student in the hall looked away from your gaze, handed over their money, or outright leapt into their lockers in some goofy attempt to hide
-
71.
>Anonymous just met your gaze and greeted you 'good morning' like you were peers
-
72.
>If he was trying to diminish your intimidating image, you could understand it
-
73.
>But that didn't ring true, either
-
74.
>It was infuriating
-
75.
>You resolved to bitch about it on end when you hung out with Flash later
-
76.
>Point your trophy boyfriend's fists in the direction of his face
-
77.
>Maybe get Snips and Snails to trail him a bit just in case he didn't prove cooperative
-
78.
>If you couldn't get the point across violently, there were other, subtler ways to teach your 'friend' understand where he fell
-
79.
>The same place everyone else did across two worlds:
-
80.
>At your feet
