Chapter 15: How In . . . What?

We arrived back in town and began to look for a restaurant to have dinner at. We finally came across a pub restaurant. Applejack and Rainbow Dash said they have the best drinks and good food too. We all headed inside. The place is what you would expect, a nice size bar with different kinds of alcohol on the back shelves. A waitress directed us to a long table that was able to have everypony at.

"So, Rainbow and Applejack, how do you know this place?" I asked them.

"Me and Rainbow here come here once a week after a long work week to relax." Applejack said.

"We also come here to get buzzed and on occasion, drinking contest." Rainbow said. " I won the last one."

"But I won the two before that."

"Girls please, let's not get into an argument and get kicked out." I said.

The waitress comes by and collects our drink orders. Rarity ordered a glass of red wine, Spike got a glass of juice as still under the drinking age here, both Twilight and Fluttershy ordered some tea, Pinkie and Rainbow ordered a pint each of hard apple cider, Applejack ordered a pint of a local brew beer, and I ordered a glass of water. The waitress thanked for the orders and will be back to get their entree orders.

"How come you ordered water Blaze? Thought you were old enough to drink?" Rainbow asked.

"Oh, I have been able to drink alcohol for the past 6 years. I just choose not to. I was never interested in trying it." I said.

"Oh come on, you don't know what you are missing. Loosen up and try one. It won't hurt you." Rainbow said trying to convince me.

"Not interested."

"Come on Rainbow, Blaze said he doesn't want to. Let's honour his choice." Applejack said.

"Choosing not to drink because they were not interested in it thinks they are hiding something. What is the real reason Blaze? I know that Twilight and Fluttershy don't drink because they can't hold their alcohol. Come one and spill!" Rainbow said as she was getting more frustrated.

"I don't want to drink and that's that."

"Please drop it Rainbow. We are here to have fun and enjoy ourselves. Not everypony has to drink like you." Twilight said.

The waitress returns with our drinks. She took our food orders and returned to the kitchen. I decided to change the subject before Rainbow continues to bug me why I won't drink alcohol. "So, Applejack, what do you think of those guards after seeing them work for the first day?"

"They are definitely rough on the edges, not much strength in them, and complains a bit when they first started to work. It will take some time, but I think I can get them straighten out and break their habits. Honestly, I think they never did any hard work in their life. Yes they might do some weight lifting, but they don't have the energy to use it all day." Applejack said. "What is your opinion when you saw them working, Blaze?"

"Well, when I, meaning my clone, got to the farm, I snuck up in my pony form to see if they were working. They still were and you are correct they do complain a bit. They never saw my pony form so when I introduced myself, I called myself Speedy. They said you went to get some more empty bucket, but never came back. I figure that was when I used that jutsu to bring you to the stage. So I told them you had forgotten to be somewhere else and I relieved you of watching them. We chatted for a bit as we continued to work. I found out they did come rich families. Their families pulled in some favours so they did not have to go through the basic training. I think that is why they are like how they are for not going through that experience to straighten them out and toughen them at the same time. I then revealed my human form and they went into a panic state and started to beg."

"Oh my! I wish I was there to see that! You definitely know how to pull pranks Blaze. I wouldn't have been able to pull some of them off." Rainbow said as she was laughing. The others were laughing at the same time.

"Well, you are not me and have access to my jutsu moves. That is the only way I could pull these off. Now back to the story, I told them what I was expecting them to do while on the farm and we went back to work after the begging. Some time later, you all showed up. The moral of this is you should never take shortcuts in your work. You may lose what that hard work and training will teach you. Their families are at fault here for letting them skip the training. I plan to look into this when I go for the basic training next month."

"YOU ARE JOINING THE ROYAL GUARD!" everypony at the table shouted at the same time.

"Hold it! I am not, joining the Royal Guard. I have an agreement with Princess Celestia to teach the guard some Taijutsu, but I need to go through the basic training in pony form to get a basis of what they know and how ponies fight in combat. I was never planning to join as these skills were not intended to be used on the front lines of battle. They are more for secret ops and stealth missions."

"That is great. You will probably see my brother." Twilight said.

"You have a brother in the Royal Guard?" everypony again said.

"I might have met him already. Mind telling me his name and describe him?" I asked even though I already know.

"His name is Shining Armor and is a Captain of the Royal Guard, Unicorn Division."

"Your brother in not only in the Royal Guard, but a Captain?" Rarity asked as she was about to faint. Fluttershy grabbed her to keep her upright.

"Yes he is because he can perform the biggest and most powerful shield spell that can cover all of Canterlot."

"Dam Twilight, I knew you had some powerful magic, but your brother can cast a shield around a city? That is awesome!" Rainbow said.

"It is impressive. Now for his looks, he has a white coat, two tone blue mane, and his armor is purple."

Yep, I have met him this morning. He is probably going to kill me if he finds out I have been hanging out with Twilight and her friends. Hope he is not going to be doing the training when I go. Better inform Twilight of the incident before she hears it from him.

"Um, I think I might have met him this morning. Would you mind if I transform into him so you can verify who I think it is?" She nods and I perform the jutsu while sitting. A quick puff of smoke later and I now look like her brother.

"Oh my, you did meet him! I have to go and write him a letter right away and find out what he thinks about you."

"You might want to hold that off till after I tell you what happened this morning. Please don't scream or freak out." They all nodded realizing it's going to be an interesting one.

"Ok, so every morning since I arrived here, I woke up before sunrise. I do a morning exercise in the land Princess Celestia gave me before it was mine. Seeing I was in Canterlot last night, Princess Luna offered the. Royal Guard training grounds to let me do my routine. I was led to the grounds by two Unicorn guards named Iron Shield and Dead Eye. They participated in stretches with my pony form while my human clone went for a jog on the track. After this, I decided to do some different scenarios of combat so six more clones were made, one human and the rest were my pony form. Some of the matches lasted for at least an hour while the shortest one was 15 minutes."

"Why on Equestria would you fight yourself instead of some fake dummies?" Rarity asked.

"I do this because I am still learning what these skills can do and I need to speed the time table up so I can begin the advance skills. As for why I fight myself I have two reasons. The first one is I know what I can dish out and heal any injury I deliver, the second reason is dummies don't fight back."

"So what happens next!" Pinkie Pie asked while eating popcorn. I am not even going to think where she got it.

"After the matches, I was pretty tired, the guards were also tired because it was the end of their shift. I didn't feel like walking to or flying towards the dining room, so I decided to test out the teleportation jutsu for the first time since I learned it. This is where it gets interesting."

"What in tarnation did ya do?" Applejack asked.

"None of it was my fault as I did not know at the time, but I was suppose to have escorts where ever I go in the castle. So I did the jutsu and arrived outside the doors to the dining room. As I was looking myself over to see if nothing was missing, there were two Unicorn guards standing at the door. They were charging up their horns when I realized they were there. So I did what anypony would have done, I started to run away and avoid being hit by their magic."

Rainbow started to laugh and soon Applejack joined in. "The guards normally don't shoot their magic unless there is a threat." Twilight said.

"Let me ask you this, how would you react if you did not know me nor about me and I appeared right in front of you?"

Twilight started to blush. "I would probably scream and then try to hit you with magic spells to trap you."

"My point as to why I ran, I did not know if they were going to capture me or kill me. I almost got away from the two guards when I went around a corner, I see six more Unicorn guards coming at me. I switch to flying and flew right over them as they were shooting their magical spells at me."

"You must have been doing some impressive aerial manoeuvres to dodge being hit." Rainbow Dash said as she started to pay more attention to the tale.

"I didn't even think of what manoeuvres to use. I just let my instinct take over and guide me. I saw an open window and flew through it to the outside. The Unicorn guards were still sending their magic spells at me from the window. I thought I got away now till I look towards the castle walls."

"What did you see?" Pinkie asked while wearing 3-D glasses and still eating popcorn.

"There were at least a dozen Pegasus guards flying towards me from different directions. I was getting pretty frustrated at this so I thought of one move that will get me out of this. I flew high up into the sky so all the guards in the area would be looking up at me. The move I used is ki based and is called solar flare. The name explains what it does. I cast a pure and intense white light causing everypony looking at me to get blinded temporally so they could not see me teleport out of there."

"I saw the flash from the farm and thought it was a new firework they were testing to use during the day." Applejack said.

"That flash woke me from my sleep as it lit up my entire cloud house." Rainbow said in a slight angry tone.

"So where did you teleport to this time, if you don't mind." Fluttershy asked in her soft voice.

"I teleported this time to inside the dining room. I startled the staff and both Princesses were surprised by my entrance. I quickly explained what was going on as I have told you. All of a sudden, the dining room door burst open and a platoon of Pegasus and Unicorn Guards came in charging at me. I prepared to defend myself when Princess Celestia ordered everypony to stop in the loudest voice I ever heard. This is where your brother comes in Twilight. He stepped forward and was telling the Princesses that they were trying to capture me because they thought I was an assassin."

"Well you do kinda dress like one." Spike said. Twilight gently his the back of his head with her hoof.

"After Princess Celestia explaining that I was a guest, your brother and I kinda went into a blaming argument of who's at fault. Princess Celestia dismissed the guards and explained to me because I was not a citizen and noted at some trusted level, I am suppose to have escorts where ever I go in the castle. It would be a Princess or a couple guards. I apologized for my attitude and will acknowledge those rules when I am in the castle." I said.

"Whoo-whee, that sure was some excitement you had." Applejack said.

"And that was before I had breakfast and after my training exercise. I was full blown exhausted and starving. So, Twilight, I feel I am not on good terms with your brother seeing I evades several guards. If he comes to visit, please warn me so I can hide."

All the girls started to laugh at how I was acting afraid of Twilight's brother. "I'm sure my brother will accept you once he gets to know you like I have. He will love how much you care about us ponies." Twilight said.

Our food arrives and everypony starts to dig in. The mane six all got some flower based dish, Spike was able to order some precious gems, and I got steamed veggies over rice. I will defninitly be having some home cooked meals more often to get my meat servings I need. I wonder if Princess Celestia will allow me to take some uncooked meat from the castle's kitchen and store it at my house. Shining Armor is going to give me some trouble for successfully evading his guards. I am pretty sure right now he is sending more guards to Ponyville till I gain his trust.

"So what is everypony's plans tomorrow?" I asked.

"Applejack is going to help me with some of my aerial moves." Rainbow Dash said.

"I am sorry partner, but I won't be able to. The guards need supervision to help me with the applebucking and Big Mac is not well enough to do it. I also won't be able to help you Pinkie or Fluttershy. There is still a lot of trees to harvest if we want to sell them all." Applejack said.

The three started to get sad that Applejack wasn't going to be able to help them. I hate to see them sad. It was a tiny bit my fault of how Big Macintosh got injured. "Hey um, if you want, I could help you out with what Applejack was going to do. It is only right seeing I am the one who injured Big Macintosh." I said.

"That wasn't your fault Blaze. My big bro was being over protective and did not listen to me before he bolted out the door. I am just glad you did not get injured by him also."

"But it only seems right I help out seeing you have those Greenies on your farm."

"Greenies? What does that mean, sugarcube?"

"It is a thing we say to the ones who are new to the skill and have no prior knowledge. It actually became popular to a tv show on my world. The full name they were called was Greenhorn, but I did not feel comfortable to call them that."

They all started to laugh again and I joined them. I paid the bill and we left the pub. We all walked to the town square, enjoying the night sky. Twilight spoke up, "So Blaze, where are you going to sleep tonight?"

"I wasn't really thinking of where to sleep tonight. I think I will go to my plot of land and do some meditation under the stars. I have some intense training I need to do to for the next jutsu I would like to get down." I said.

"What is the next thing you are going to do? Skin colour changing jutsu? Limb creating jutsu? Oh I know, balloon animal jutsu!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Um, not any of those, that is for sure. It will be something with a good purpose to know. I will be performing at noon on my land if anypony would like to see."

"Oh I can't wait to see what spectical your jutsu is going to do." Rarity said.

"You are not going to give us a hint as to what it is, are ya?" Rainbow asked.

"Do I ever tell you what jutsu I learn next?" I asked her. She shook her head no. "Then you will just have to wait. Good night my friends. See you tomorrow."

Everypony else said their good nights and all headed to their homes. I made my way to my hill and got comfortable to go and meditate. Guess it is time now to learn wood jutsu. This is probably going to take all night, even with clones to get the skills down for a house level jutsu. So I spent the entire night in the meditation working on the jutsu. It was difficult to combine two elements to make the wood jutsu to work, even with a hundred clones in my head practicing it.

Dawn came and I was still in my meditation. Looking over at the progress I have done, I heard my name being yelled from outside. I exited the meditation and see Rainbow Dash staring into my eyes. "Morning Dash, you need something?" I asked with a yawn.

"Uh, yea. You said you were going to cover for Applejack and help us with what she was going to do." Rainbow said.

"That is true. So what do I need to help you with your stunts?"

"See that wood contraption over by the town square?" She said as she pointed with her hoof. I nodded as I already know what she was going to ask. "I need you to get up on the platform. Then wait for me to get onto the far end of the seesaw. I will then signal you to jump onto the other end catapulting me faster into the air. That will increase my speed as I perform my stunts that will impress the Wonderbolts." She said giggling like a school filly after.

"A seesaw launch? Really? That won't get you the speeds you are wanting. The physics prove that by the board absorbing the inertia of the launch. I know of a faster way to launch you. The coolest thing is we can do it right here and now."

"REALLY! WHAT IS IT? WHAT IS IT? LET'S DO IT!"

Oh she is really going to either like this, or hate me for doing this to her. Maybe both. "Calm down Rainbow Dash. Now then, stand in front of me about three feet away. Get yourself into your ready stance as you are about to take off."

Rainbow does so with excitement and eagerness pumping. "Now what?"

"Bye Rainbow." Her face went to a confused look then shock as I said this, "Stone Style! Rapid Column Jutsu!"

Rainbow was launched into the air as the ground underneath her pushed her up at least to 100mph to a height of 20 feet before stopping. She continued to fly upwards at that speed and began to do her stunts. I could hear her saying, "That was AWESOME!" at the top of her lungs. She flies back down and lands in front of me and says, "I (breath) never (breath) launched (breath) that fast (breath) before. WHERE DID YOU COME UP WITH THAT!"

"That is based up a ride from my world where humans are strapped into seats that are on a contraption that will launch them up like that, then experience free fall. The ride was perfectly safe for them to do that."

"DO IT AGAIN!" Rainbow said as she got back into position, waiting for me to do the jutsu.

"How about I join you and we do some more aerial move teaching?" She smiled and nodded. I stood next to her and prepared myself for the Gs I will experience also. I did the jutsu and we both were launched into the air. The Gs were intense at launch, but the thrill was worth it. We flew all over Ponyville as I was mirroring Rainbow Dash's moves. Once the blood rush was finished, I said goodbye to Rainbow as I need to get something into my stomach.

I flew towards Sugarcube Corner to get a bite. I went inside and saw Mr. Cake was behind the counter. Let's see how he will react to me. "Good morning." I said.

Mr. Cake looked up from what he was doing to greet me when fear showed up in his eyes and he screamed, "AHH! A MONSTER! GET OUT OF HERE HONEY WHILE I HOLD IT OFF!" he picked up a broom with his mouth to use as a staff.

I pinched the bridge of my nose thinking, When will these ponies stop being afraid of me. "PINKIE PIE!" I shouted, "Can you please tell them who I am before they call the guards on me."

Pinkie came running down from upstairs and jumped halfway down launching towards me. I caught her as she hugged me. "Blazy, you are here early! I thought you were going to help Rainbow Dash first?" She said.

"I did and I just got done helping her with her stunts. I came early so I can get something to eat before I help you. Now, would you mind telling them who I am before the summon the guards for no reason?"

"Silly Mr. and Mrs. Cake, I told you I made a pony friend and was going to help me instead of Applejack."

"That is not a pony! Get away Pinkie before it hurts you." Mr. Cake said while still holding the broom in his mouth.

"He is right deary. Come over here and we will go and get the guards." Mrs. Cake said as she poked her head out of the kitchen.

"I am hurt Mrs. Cake that you don't recognize me, even by my voice. This might help you." I gently place Pinkie down on her hoofs and then performed the Shadow Transform Jutsu.

Once the smoked cleared and she could see my pony body, Mrs. Cake said, "Oh! It is you Swift Blaze. I did not realize you could change your form like that. Dear, put that broom down, he is a friend of Pinkie I met a few days ago."

Mr. Cake placed the broom back where it was and says, "Sorry about that. That form surprised me and I did not know what creature you were. Why would you go around looking like that?"

"Um, maybe because that is my real form. I take you both have not been to my introduction, party, or Applejack's Ceremony?" They both shook their heads no. I wonder how many more times I have to explain myself. So I went and explained about my human form and a brief about my abilities with quick demonstration.

"I am so sorry Blaze for thinking that human form was a disguise and not the other way around. You said you came to get something to eat so what can we get ya, deary." Mrs. Cake said.

"I think I will take two of those blueberry muffins and a glass of orange juice if you have some."

"Coming right up." Mrs. Cake went into the kitchen and Mr. Cake hoofed out the two muffins out of the display onto a plate. He brought it over to the table I went and sat at. Mrs. Cake shortly came with the glass of OJ being held by her tail and placed it on the table without spilling it. I have to do some training to get that type of control.

I channel chakra to my hoof and picked up the glass to get a quick drink. "That is some fresh orange juice. So how much do I owe you?"

"It's on the house. You are going to be helping Pinkie Pie while we go and make these deliveries." Mrs. Cake said.

"Then I shall pay with some recipes I know from my world I think you might like."

"OH, YOU CAN BAKE TOO! Why did you not say you can do that?" Pinkie asked right in my face.

"You did not ask. Once I finish with my breakfast, I will go and make up of a batch for you to try."

Pinkie hopped away to go behind the counter with clear joy on her face. Mr. and Mrs. Cake left shortly with several boxes on their backs. As I was eating the first muffin, which was delicious, the front door burst open and I heard somepony say "MUFFIN!"

I see a grey blur coming towards me. In quick action, I grab the plate and the glass with my hoofs and flew up to the ceiling. The blur object slid across the table and continued on into the wall. I looked to see what it was that came at me. The object was a grey Peagasus with a blond mane and yellow eyes. I had a feeling you might show up sooner or later. I came back down and placed the plate and the glass back on the table. "Are you ok?" I asked.

Her eyes were spinning around as she was regaining consciousness. She then looked to me as I held a hoof out to help her up. She grabbed it with her hoof and got her back on all four. "Sorry about that mister. I get carried away when I smell my favourite muffin." Her stomach starts to growl. "Hee hee, kinda skipped breakfast as I was running late to get to work."

"What do you do for work?"

"She delivers the mail in Ponyville and is the best!" Pinkie said from behind the counter.

"That is an important job, but you should never skip your breakfast. How about you have my other muffin so you can subdue that stomach of yours."

"But that is yours. I would not feel right taking your breakfast." She said.

"I insist, plus the fact I already had one and that filled me up more than expected."

"THANK YOU MISTER!" She goes ahead and scarfs it down in one bite.

"Enough of the mister, please. My name is Swift Blaze, but you can call me Blaze. All my friends do."

"Ok, Blaze. My name is Ditzy Hooves. Thank you again for the muffin. It was delicious. I am curious though. Normally when this happens, I collide into a pony with the muffin. How were you able to dodge me?"

"My reflexes kicked in and I flew up to the ceiling."

"But you don't have wings! How was that possible?" One of her eyes started to wander looking off into another direction. She shook her head with her eyes closed. When she opened them, they were both looking in the same direction. " Sorry about that." She said as she lowered her head a bit.

"Don't be ashamed of yourself. To answer your question, I have an energy source inside of me called ki which I can regulate out of me to give me lift." I said as I started to levitate above the table.

"I have never heard an Earth pony getting the ability to fly!"

"Technically, I am not a pony."

"Thank you again for the muffin, but I have to go and finish delivering this mail. I am going to have a hard time with this one as there is no address. It only has of what I can believe to be the description of who it is suppose to."

"Maybe I can help you with that. What does it say?

She pulls the letter out of her saddle bag and clears her throat,

To the new creature in Ponyville that walks on two hoofs and is hairless.

"Hey! I do have hair, just on my head compared to ponies."

"But you look like a pony with a fur coat and mane. I don't think this is for you."

"I was referring to my original form. Please don't freak out or scream." I released the jutsu and went back to my human form.

"I saw you yesterday at the ceremony! Your tricks were great!"

"Why thank you. Now may I have that letter as it is clearly for me."

Ditzy handed me the letter and I opened it and it read:

Greetings Human,

Congratulations on becoming a citizen. Princess Celestia has informed me you are going to participate in the Royal Guard basic training in your pony form. I have been approved to handle the actual training session. I look forward to seeing what you are capable of. Just a reminder, you are not to be using your abilities to give you an advantage in your training. Failure in this will result in punishment. See you next month.

Captain Shining Armor.

(Gulp) "Ok, I think he has it in for me for evading his guards." I said. It is going to be college hazing and boot camp rolled into one.

"Oh you are just over reacting silly. Now let's get started on those treats you said you were going to make from your world." Pinkie said as she started to drag me into the kitchen. Ditzy waved goodbye and flew back out the door.

In the kitchen, I saw every equipment that a typical baker would have. They also had a couple fridges and a walk in freezer. Probably for the ice cream type deserts. I went through what ingredients they had to determine which one I was going to make. "Ah, I think I will make that first." I said out loud.

"What are you going to make, Blaze?"

"I am going to leave that as a mystery. I think I hear customers coming in. How about you take care of them and I will handle anything in the kitchen that needs to get done."

Pinkie leaves the kitchen to attend to the customers. I went straight to work gathering the ingredients for the cookies I am going to make. While doing this, Pinkie called out orders to come from the kitchen. I created a human and a pony clone to help her, human to do the work and the pony to bring it out. Did not feel like scaring any more ponies. Once the brunch crowd was done, I had finished the first batch of cookies.

"Pinkie, you ready to have your taste buds explode?"

"I will be the judge to see if they are as good as you think they are." Pinkie said as she walked in.

I picked up a cookie and handed it to her, which she licked it off my hand and into her mouth. Her eyes went wide open and you could see like fireworks were going off inside of them. Her smile went as wide as it could get. "By those facial expressions, I would say you like it."

She quickly regains her composer and say, "Blaze, I don't like them . . . I LOVE THEM!" Pinkie then blitz charges me into a great bear hug, squeezing me as tight as she can. "What are these devilish creations you made?"

Gasping for air, I said, "Devil's Chocolate Drops. Can you let go of me so I can breathe?"

Pinkie quickly lets go and I take in a deep breath. "Sorry about that. It's just I could not control myself due to how delicious you made these. I am sure they will be a hit. If you don't mind, with Mr. and Mrs. Cake approval, I think we should sell these as a weekly special."

"Not a problem Pinkie. I don't mind sharing the recipes I know so other ponies can taste them. I should get going to my land as it is almost time to start and build my new home in Equestria."

"I will join you shortly once Mr. and Mrs. Cake get back."

I left the kitchen and went out the front door. I quickly turned back around and did a wood jutsu so another door popped out of the frame to replace the one that got broken. Walking through town, I saw ponies were starting to wave to me as I went by and I waved back. As I approached my land with the hill, I saw other ponies were already there waiting for me. I saw Twilight, Fluttershy, Rainbow, Spike, Rarity, Applejack, Mayor Mare, Lyra Heartstrings, and other ponies I have yet to learn their names.

Twilight saw me first and said, "There you are Swift Blaze! We were wondering if this was another prank you were going to pull by you building a house in a day."

"Come on Twilight, I would never joke about something like this seeing how I asked Mayor Mare to get some ponies with electrical and plumbing skills. I will be providing the foundation and wood."

"I still don't see how when there is no material here for you to use."

"I will explain how after I do it. Now, Mayor Mare, did you get those ponies I asked for?"

"They are right here and we are all curious as to how you are going to make a house appear out of nothing." Mayor Mare said.

"All will be revealed in time. I will also make the trenches for the plumbing and electrical to connect to the main lines."

"Don't keep everypony in suspense for too long."

Suddenly there was a bright flash behind me. I turned around and see both Princess Celestia and Princess Luna was there. All the ponies bowed to them and I did also. "Good afternoon Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, I take you are here to see my latest jutsu skill."

"We are Swift Blaze. We also brought Captain Shining Armor as he wanted to see first hand the human who successfully evaded the Royal Guard." Princess Celestia said.

(Gulp) as I cleared my throat when he shown himself from behind the Princesses. "Hello Captain Armor, I got your letter and it will be an honour to be trained by you when I attend the basic training next month." I said.

Before he could respond, I hear from behind me, " Big Bro! You Came!" I turned my head and see Twilight running to her brother and gave him a big hug.

"Why did you not tell me you were going to come?" Twilight asked.

"Sorry Twily, it was a last minute decision. I only had a brief intro with Swift Blaze so I decided to see this magic skill he is going to pull off." Shining Armor said.

"Um, not to be rude, but I have no magic control. What I use to do the things I can do are called chakra and ki. Once Pinkie Pie gets here, I shall begin with the latest I have learned." I said.

"I'm right here!" Pinkie shouted. I turned my head towards the voice and spotted her standing next to Rainbow.

"Ok then, if you would excuse me Princesses, I shall begin with the new style of jutsu."

I walked to the top and the hill and turned to address everypony. "Thank you all for coming. I know some of you are still trying to figure out where I am going get the material to build my house with. Well the wait is over so I shall begin the construction. If you would all please wait at the bottom of the hill and hold your comments and questions till after. This is going to require a great deal of concentration to pull off."

They all complied and made their way to the bottom. The Pegasus and the Princesses instead flew up above for a bird's eye view. I began to gather the necessary chakra for the first jutsu. I did the hand signs and called out, "Earth Style! Earth Elevator Jutsu!" The ground around me started to flatten out and lower itself into the ground. Once done I was in a rectangular pit that was 12 feet deep. The next one I called out was, "Earth Style! Stone Floor Jutsu!" the ground around me changed from dirt to a dense stone. I then called out, "Earth Style! Stone Wall Jutsu!" At the edge of the stone floor, walls sprouted up of the same material and rose up about 13 feet.

I flew out of the stone pit and landed in front of the house's foundation I just created. I turned my head to the crowd and saw everypony was impressed with what I did so far. "If you all liked this so far, the next one is the new style that I learned last night. Please remain silent as this is going to be difficult." I turn my head back forward and pulled all the chakra I could get for this final jutsu. I shouted, "Wood Style! House Structure Jutsu!" Wood beams started to grow out of the stone foundation. They were popping up everywhere and started to form the floor and outer wall structures. Then the inner framing of the inside walls. I then created a staircase to the second floor lever and repeated the process. Finally, I had a wood shingle roof form above the second floor. Once the last shingle grew into place, I release the position my hands were in and collapse to the ground onto my hands and knees.

"Blaze!" I heard several ponies shouted as they came running up to me.

"I'm alright everypony. Just a little exhausted from the jutsu. Mayor Mare, you can have those ponies get to work on wiring and getting water to my house. I will be in a bit to show where the kitchen sink is and where the bathrooms are." I said while breathing a little heavy and moved to a sitting position. She nodded and pointed to several ponies with hard hats indicating they may begin.

"That was amazing Blaze! Who knew you had that ability within you." Twilight said.

"Just don't ask for an encore performance, I am out of chakra at the moment."

"So you do have a limit of what you can do." Shining Armor said.

"At this moment, I am at this limit. But do realize this was a very complicated jutsu as I was creating an entire house. With more training, I should be able to increase my reserve. As to the jutsu's themselves, I have still lots I can learn. I am just glad I was able to finish the structure before my chakra ran out."

"Do rest Swift Blaze, you have still surprised us with what you are capable of. We must now return to Canterlot as we still have a schedule to keep." Princess Celesita said. Everypony bowed to them while I lowered my head. Then as quickly they appeared, they left the same way.

"That was truly impressive how you can manipulate elements and grow wood right out of the ground. I was more intrigued with the stone you had come out of the ground. I have never seen stone so cleanly cut and beautiful. What kind of stone is it darling?" Rarity asked.

"I am no rock expert, but I would guess it is granite as I wanted something heavy and dense to support the house." I said.

"Are you able to grow precious stones from the ground too?" She asked. Spike started to drool thinking that I could get him gems whenever he wants them.

"Probably not grow them from nothing as I don't know the element structure of them. With training, I could possibly be able to find them and manipulate the gem's themselves."

"THAT WAS AWESOME! You keep on getting cooler with each jutsu. Soon you might be as cool as me. Do you think you can do that launch again that you did this morning so I can show our friends my new stunts?" Rainbow Dash said.

"Sorry, but I am out of chakra at the moment. Maybe tomorrow we can show them." Rainbow was a little sad she could not show it off, but understood.

"Oh goodie! I can now throw you a house warming party! I need balloons, ribbons, streamers, food, drinks, . . ." Pinkie continue on rambling.

"Pinkie. Lets wait till the house is finished and furnished which will be tomorrow."

"Okie Dokie Lokie!"

"I can help ya with the furniture stuff tomorrow if you want Blaze." Applejack said.

"What about the apple harvest?" I asked.

"Like you taught me, we need to not overwork ourselves. Plus the fact it is the day of the week we take off. Well I better get back to the Greenies and see how they are doing. I shall see ya tomorrow Blaze." Applejack then headed back to her farm and we all waved to her as she left.

"Um, excuse me, Swift Blaze, I overheard you say you were out of the energy source that you used to do this. How are you going to make the trenches?" Mayor Mare asked.

"I said I was out of chakra, but I still have my ki energy that I can use to make the trenches." I clarified.

"Didn't you say that energy is destructive and only used in attacks against enemies?" Twilight said.

"That is true, but as you can see, I have used it to gain flight and I can control the energy like a laser beam and cut the trench. I take it they are ready for me give them their trench, Mayor?" I said.

"You are correct. Do you need help getting up?"

"I will float over so I don't look like a fool and fall on my butt if I tried to get to my feet."

I started to rise off the ground to a floating upright style. I followed her to two ponies standing by the road. One was a red stallion with a short black curly mane and straight black tail. His cutie mark was a monkey wrench. The other was a bright yellow mare with white zig zag mane and tail. Her cutie mark was two lightning bolts in opposite directions.

"Allow me to introduce you Sparky, the electrician and Mario, the plumber." Mayor Mare said.

Really, Mario, does he have a brother named Lugi? "Hi there. Nice to meet you like I said before, I will take care of making the trenches for you. Just need to know a few things, where to start, where to end, and how deep I need to go.

"Sure thing." Sparky said.

"The main lines are bellow us, about five feet feet deep. And just need to go to a corner of your house." Mario said in an Italian accent.

"No problem. We will just need to clear the area so no ponies will get hurt." I said.

"Why's that?" Mayor Mare asked.

"Because I am going to make the trench by explosion."

They all started to run and get the other ponies to clear the area. Once everypony was safe, I shouted, "Fire In The Hole!" three times in different directions. I gather the tiny bit of ki into my hand and started to fire energy balls into the ground creating a 'v' shape trench up to the house. "All clear! You can all come out of hiding." I shouted.

They all started to poke their head from behind trees and rocks at the edge of the nearby forest. They saw the dust cloud of dirt dissipating and me covered in tiny bits of earth and grass. Sparky and Mario came up and was impressed at my handy work.

"You don't joke when you said you were going to make the trench by explosions. Thanks for the warning." Sparky said.

"Now all that is left is to get a hole in that stone and point to us where the bathrooms and kitchen area." Mario said.

"Sure thing, what size holes do you need?" I asked.

"I need a 6" for the drain and a 1" for the water main." Mario said.

"I need a 1-1/2" for my power, but away from his point of entry into your house. Water and electricity don't like each other." Sparky said.

I nodded and went into the trench towards my house foundation. I focused my ki to my finger tip and made a long energy beam and went to work cutting those holes. Once done, I went inside and explained the layout at to where I am planning to place everything. They thanked me for saving them lots of work and will send me a bill once they are done.

I stepped outside and saw my friends that stayed around were all together chatting away. I headed over to join them. Rarity saw me approaching and shouted, "Oh My! You are covered in all that dirt. You must come with me and Fluttershy to the spa and get cleaned up."

"It's alright Rarity. I will take a dip in that pond over there to get cleaned up." I said.

"I insist as you have worked hard these past several days. A nice afternoon at the spa will do wonders for you."

"I really don't need it. A shower and meditation will do for me."

"You will thank me after you have it."

Her horn starts to glow and then an aura surrounds me. I was being pulled to her as she and Futtershy made their way back to town. Guess I don't have a choice.
