Hello everyone, and happy April first! Wait, it's April second...No, I don't have any plans to trick you today, gotta keep up this grim attitude because of Tails's death. Anyway, let's get to the reviews!

Capt: Is it me, or do you like to complain sometimes XD And don't sorry, I got some action today for Unknown!

Aura: I'm excited to do this training chapter! I got big plans.

Glimpse: YES, I AM MARKIPLIER XD I'm glad you were feeling emotions cause of the story, shows I'm doing something right. You are welcome.

WinterBlaze31: I don't know...maybe in the future...and no more OCs. This is like the hundredth time I have said that.

Meteor: I like the emotional side of things, so it was awesome to write one!

Newplayer100: yep, knew that about Sora. Glad you liked the idea, and let's hope Mephiles will be sent there.

Werewolf: Eh, not really any super surprises...

Maverick2519: In the future when I get some spare time, I'm gonna hopefully add some section for Sonic, I was pressed for time. It's not that they have a closer bond, it's just that Gold literally saw Tails die, right in front of him. He did kinda lash out at Gold, in a more emotional side. That was there. Don't worry, I got some plans for them this chapter and the next. Thank you for your constructive criticism, it's appreciated.

Tail: YEP, TIME TO TRAIN.

Thank you all for reading. Let's get to it...

Actually wait, I got a better idea for this chapter. I think Gold deserves some tension-releasing, don't you agree? We can do the training idea in a different chapter, for now, I think Gold deserves some.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything besides Gold, the Eon, the plot, etc. All OCs belong to their respectful owners.

Chapter 15: Tension Releasing

---

It was late at night. When everyone decided to leave the hospital, they decided to hold off the training until the next day or the day after that. There was some deep tension right now, and most didn't feel like getting up to train vigorously. Another day would be fine. Gold and Twilight were arriving at Gold's house, Gold not being able to stand to stay in Tails's house after what had happened. They walked in silently without a word, both of them sitting down on Gold's couch. Twilight decided to speak.

"You alright?" she asked quietly.

"I don't know, my best friend just died, do you think I'm alright?" Gold snapped, with some hostility.

Twilight went silent at the snap and moved over a bit. She thought for a moment, for a way to talk to him without him snapping back at her. He needed to calm down. She thought for a second and got an idea. A naughty one.

"Gold, if you want, I can help you with your attitude right now." she said, slightly seductively.

"The only thing that will help is everyone being alright." Gold said crossing his arms.

Twilight looked at him with her lavender eyes, something Gold could not be mad at.

"Cut it with the eyes." Gold said.

"Come on, I know you love them..." she said sweetly.

Gold peeked back at her eyes and couldn't help but compliment them, "Okay, I like them a little."

Twilight giggled, "Look, I know this has all been hard on you, and I want to help, just listen to me." she said with her eyes of hers staring at Gold.

"Okay...what do I have to do?" Gold asked.

Twilight started pushing Gold down on the couch lightly with her hooves, "Just lie down."

Gold obeyed and laid straight on the couch. Twilight lightly jumped on his stomach.

"Now let me pleasure you..."

And they started to...

TROOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOLLOLOLOLOLOLOOLL! APRIL FOOLS! I KNOW IM LATE! YOU ALL THOUGHT I WAS DOING A LEMON! XDDDDDD I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF! IT WAS JUST TOO EASY! OH GOD, I'M CRYING I'M LAUGHING SO HARD. LET'S GET TO THE ACTUAL CHAPTER!

Chapter 15: Training of their Lives Part One

---

For reals this time, the group dispersed from the hospital to their respectful homes to get some rest and hopefully be ready for the next day. Tails's house was put off-limits so Glimpse, Aura, Applejack, and Rarity all had to sleep over at Gold's house, along with the three that already were staying there, Gold, Twilight and Glimpse.

"So, I get the couch, Applejack gets the other couch, Rarity can make a bed on the floor, and..." Aura started to list.

"No, I will not sleep on the dirty ground!" Rarity protested.

"Rarity, I'm sure Gold vacuums in here." Aura said.

"I will not sleep on the filthy ground! It's not proper!" Rarity still argued.

"Ahright, fine! Ah'll sleep on the ground if it's that bad! We don't need any arguments in here!" Applejack said, knocking her pillows and blanket on the ground as Rarity happily jumped onto the couch.

"Thank you darling." Rarity said with a yawn and went to bed.

"Yeah, yeah." Applejack said, as she went to sleep on the ground.

"You two, I swear." Aura said, face toward the couch.

It went a couple of minutes quiet until Applejack and Aura were woken up by a loud snore from Rarity. They both looked at each other in tiredness.

"This is going to be a long night." Applejack said, placing pillows on his ears.

Meanwhile, Gold and Twilight had to share a bed, which was little awkward, but not much since they have slept together before. Glimpse was where he usually was, in the guest bedroom. No one said anything that night. However, during the night, you could her Gold mutter out some words of fear and see him slightly toss and turn.

---

Cue that beautiful morning wake up song...if only I knew the name...

The sun rose again, normally this time. A normal burning ball of superheated gases rose up from the dark background called the horizon. Gold and Twilight were sleeping peacefully in their bed. Peacefully, for now. Suddenly, a number of bangs and crashes came from the room. It was Pinkie, Unknown, and Bright banging various metal objects together. The fox and the unicorn both sat up quickly at the same time and looked at each other quickly. A flash of light came from Pinkie as she was holding a camera. The film came out with a picture of them in bed together.

"THAT'S A KEEPER!" Pinkie said, waving the picture in the air.

Bright started to fly rapidly around the room, "WAKE UP, WAKE UP, WAKE UP!" she yelled, knocking over a lamp accidentally.

Unknown started to run all over the place, on the walls, on the ceiling, everywhere! Chaos was raining upon that room.

"WE ARE AWAKE!" Gold and Twilight said together, making everyone stop with their antics.

"Okay, Aura wanted us to wake you up early for training! Meet you at Angel Island!" Pinkie said, and zoomed off with Unknown and Bright right behind her.

"Angel Island?" Twilight asked, getting out of bed.

"It's a floating island in the sky, held up by the Master Emerald, a source of unlimited power." Gold explained.

"Well, how do we get there, if it's in the sky?" Twilight asked curiously.

"Well, we can ask Tails to-" Gold said, stopping mid sentence at what he said.

Twilight instantly went to hug him tightly after hearing what he just said. Gold's tears were returning, but slowly because of Twilight's comforting.

"It'll be alright, hush now." Twilight said.

"Thank you Twilight." Gold said, voice cracking a bit.

They hugged for a while longer before breaking it up and looking at each other.

"I can teleport us there, if you want." Twilight said.

"Can you do that for both of us at such a long distance?" Gold asked.

"I'm Twilight Sparkle, I got this." She said with some confidence.

"Getting a bit cocky there, aren't we Miss Sparkle?" Gold joked for once.

"It ain't cockiness if it's true." she said, walking out of the room proudly.

Gold chuckled a bit before going back into thought and near depression over Tails. He just stood there, contemplating on what happened, it replaying again and again in his mind.

"You coming or what, Mr. Slowpoke?" Twilight said, poking her head in the doorway.

"Coming, Miss Cocky." Gold said, hopping off the bed.

He walked into the kitchen to see a lunch box with a note from Aura on it.

"'Dear you two lovers, me and Applejack have taken the liberty to pack some food and water for the training we are about to do. DON'T FORGET IT! Sincerely, Aura and AJ.'" Gold read out loud.

"I think AJ has found her special somepony." Twilight said.

"Just need Aura to admit it..." Gold pondered.

"We should get going, the note says to be there by eight sharp." Twilight said.

"How do you know what time it is!" Gold said.

"I'm Twilight Spark-"

"Alright, alright, let's get on with it." Gold said.

Twilight charged energy into her horn and they both disappeared in a bright purple light, teleporting to the training location of Angel Island.

---

On Angel Island...

Everyone and everypony was waiting in an open field, waiting for Gold and Twilight to arrive. The purple light that happened at Gold's house flashed in the field, revealing Gold and Twilight. Twilight collapsed but Gold caught her.

"You alright?"

"Yeah...just...just a bit tired." she said, using all that energy to get them there.

"Alright, Twilight, you can take a break then, everyone else...stretch out and warm up." Glimpse said, being sort of like coach.

They did as they were told and warmed up in their own ways. Sonic started to run back and forth from a rock to a different rock, Gold was shooting some Eon spheres at a tree, and Rainbow was flying around, doing daring stunts meanwhile. Glimpse took a look at them and got a smirk.

"Actually, Gold, Sonic and Rainbow, I want you three to race to warm up." Glimpse said, making all three of them stop.

Gold and Rainbow did so and made a line in the dirt for the start and finish line, Sonic came running next to the other two, dead silent.

"Good, I can show that I'm faster than Gold too." Rainbow said out loud.

"Oh please, you'll be eating my Eon-flavored dust!" Gold said.

"Alright, first one around Angel Island wins, meet back here. No pushing, no shoving, no fighting, but if you can't help doing those things, then knock yourself out." Glimpse said. "Pinkie, would you like to do the honors?"

Pinkie zipped by and stood behind the three racers with two pink flags.

"Ready? Set? BANANAS! HAHAHAHA I SAID BANANAS!" Pinkie laughed, and the three racers gave her a stare of 'really?' "Okay, this time for real! Ready! Set! Go!"

They took off, leaving a dust cloud in the wake. The dust stopped and showed that Sonic was still at the race line.

"Uh, Sonic, you silly! I said go!" Pinkie urged.

Sonic sighed and ran off and tremendous speeds easily catching up to Gold and Rainbow, who were neck and neck. Sonic ran ahead of Gold by a couple of feet and controlled his speed to stay a few feet in front of him. Gold noticed this and ran a little faster, trying to catch up. Sonic just put his speed up and kept his distance from Gold.

"What's the problem, Gold? Too slow?" Sonic said, quite seriously in front of Gold.

"Don't worry, I'll catch up to you." Gold said confidently and pushed himself to go faster again, but Sonic still kept his distance.

"Oh come on, I'm barely breaking a sweat." Sonic said.

Gold got a little frustrated and pushed himself more but to no avail.

"Is this how slow you were in the garage?" Sonic asked behind him.

The words hit Gold like a ton of bricks hitting a wall. Did Sonic just say that?

"Oh come on, answer me!" Sonic yelled, kicking some dust back into Gold's face.

Gold wiped his face before he could wipe out and trip, getting a bit angry at Sonic.

"What the hell is your problem?" Gold yelled at the hedgehog in front of him.

"My problem is you not being fast enough to save him!" Sonic yelled back.

Gold's face intensified as he used some Eon in his shoes to boost him and bit and make him run faster. Sonic still was ahead.

"This is sad, no wonder you couldn't save him!" Sonic yelled back, with some hostility.

"Shut up!" Gold yelled, still trying to catch up.

"I thought you were fast enough to save lives, OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN'T!" Sonic yelled, kicking some more dirt up.

Gold yelled in frustration and used more Eon in his shoes and almost got to Sonic, but he ran ahead again. Sonic didn't say anything this time. But then he yelled.

"Is this how slow you are going to be when Twilight is going to die! Is this how slow you are going to be! Just like with Tails!" Sonic said, very hostile.

"SHUT UP!" Gold yelled.

The next step he took in his running made a blue shock wave in the ground and he propelled forward, going past Sonic. Sonic put his speed to the max, and performed a Sonic Boost. They both made it to the finish line and immediately stopped and got in each others faces.

"You wanna say something about her again?" Gold challenged.

"You wanna disappoint us again?" Sonic challenged back.

Glimpse came between them and announced something, "And the winner is Rainbow!"

Gold and Sonic both looked at the pegasus who was laying calmly in a beach folding chair, relaxing.

"While you two had your little episode, I just went ahead." Rainbow said.

"Alright, so let's start! First, some individual fights. Pinkie, choose 'em!" Glimpse said to the crowd.

Pinkie closed her eyes and started randomly flailing her hooves until she stopped, one hoof pointing at Aura and the other at Unknown.

"This will certainly be interesting. Gold and Sonic, I think you two should sit down now." Glimpse said to the two of them, staring at each other with hostility.

Gold and Sonic walked away, breaking the stare, with Gold going to sit with Twilight.

"What just happened?" Twilight asked.

"Don't worry about it." Gold reassured him, but she knew something was up.

Aura and Unknown were both standing apart, facing each other.

"The fight ends when one disarms or forces the other to submit. Or until you get knocked out. Have fun!" Glimpse said before getting out-of-the-way for them.

"Would you like to make the first move?" Aura said.

"How polite. Yes please." Unknown said before getting started.

Unknown summoned a portal and it stayed there for a minute, Aura watching what he was going to do. The portal shot out some ball and chains that prisoners would wear and Unknown smiled at them. He put the clasps on and stood there with a smirk to Aura.

"You are going to fight me, with a speed handicap?" Aura said, trying not to laugh.

"Nah, you are. Here's a little something I learned in my travels, TRICK ROOM!" Unknown said.

The air went into a weird purple color for a second and then reverted to normal. Aura was seemingly unaffected.

"Um, is there a problem?" Aura said, looking around for something that was going to attack him.

"You know, instead, you go first." Unknown said, shaking his feet making the chains rattle.

Aura shrugged and went in fast to Unknown to attempt some melee. However, when he threw a punch, he hit clear air. He turned around to see Unknown was where he was before attacking. Aura went in again, but Unknown disappeared again, back to original spot.

"How is Unknown going faster than Aura!" Glimpse gawked on the sidelines.

"He used Trick Room, silly! It's a move in Pokémon where the slower fighter goes first, making the slowest become the fastest and vice versa!" Pinkie said, knowing basically everything.

Glimpse just nodded his head to her comment, it was best to just agree with what Pinkie says, "So that's why Unknown put on those prison balls." he said.

Aura overheard the conversation while still trying to catch Unknown.

"Pretty neat trick you made there." Aura complimented.

"Yeah, let's actually get this started." Unknown said and started running in a circles around Aura.

It was hard to keep up with Unknown's running, despite Aura's sense of speed and the aura.

"Aura Force!"

An aura ring emitted from Aura, a midair shock wave if you will. It expanded into a ring, and caught Unknown off guard. Aura quickly took the opportunity and kicked him, making him slide across the ground, Aura already running at him to follow-up on the attack. Unknown saw this coming and opened a portal behind him, going into it because of his momentum. Aura halted before going in and the portal closed. Aura felt an aura coming behind him and threw his arm back. Just at the right time, the returning portal appeared with Unknown ready to surprise attack. However, HE was surprised when Aura had his hand up. Aura did an Aura Palm, sending Unknown through the portal again. Unknown, in his little pocket dimension that opened up when he would make a portal, flew in it and made another portal, ending up father from Aura than before. Aura took the opportunity to try to end it.

"AURA BLAST CANNON!"

The blast went straight and true and going for Unknown. Unknown thought quickly and right before the blast hit him, he opened the portal, the blast going through it. Aura looked with a slanted head at where the blast went. Unknown secretly opened a portal directly over Aura. Aura's own blast hit him square in the head, engulfing him in it. The blast died off, leaving a slightly wounded but obviously still standing Aura.

"Nice try!" Aura said.

"Alright, come get me if you are that cocky." Unknown said, taunting him with his hand.

Aura raced forward at Unknown. Unknown tensed up for imminent collision but smirked when Aura got close. He quickly opened another portal in front of him, making Aura run through it. While he had some seconds with Aura in the pocket dimension, he set up a portal pointing down in the sky, and quickly retracted the portal in front of him to be facing up on the ground, right below the one he set in the sky. Aura came out of the top portal and immediately fell into the bottom one. Then he fell through the top into the bottom again. And again, and again, and again, in an unending loop.

"Um, does this count as a disarm?" Unknown turned to Glimpse, while Aura was going through the portals.

"I guess...Unknown takes this round. And as much as it is seeing Aura go through those portals habitually, can you let him free?" Glimpse said with a slight chuckle at Aura.

Unknown nodded and got rid of the top portal and set it slightly away from the trajectory of the top one. Aura flew out of ground, yelling in the air as it set him high in the sky. He landed with a thud on the spectator side.

"I got yah." Unknown said.

"Yeah, because you trapped me in a portal loop! Rematch without your portals this time!" Aura said on the ground.

"We don't have time for a rematch, others need to train. And Aura, do us all a favor, and can you get off of Applejack?" Glimpse said with a chuckle.

Aura's pupils became small as he looked down from his crash to see he landed on Applejack.

"Ohhhhhhhhh, hi there."

Applejack bucked him off of her, sending him back into the air, this time landing safely next to Gold. He stood up and brushed himself off, before noticing Gold was hitting him with his elbow.

"Nice fall there, totally unintentional right?" Gold said sarcastically with a smirk.

"I have the nerve to blast you off this island, but I'll constrain myself since we are training." Aura said.

"Okay, Pinkie! Randomly choose who is next!" Glimpse said.

"OOOOOOO! RANDOMLY CHOOSING PEOPLE, I FEEL LIKE I'M IN COMPLETE CHAOS!" Pinkie squealed, again breaking the fourth wall.

Pinkie used her random flailing of her hooves and this time landed on Gold and Glimpse.

"Round two, eh?" Gold said, walking to the open field.

"This time, I ain't holding back." Glimpse said, also walking to the field.

"Oh, so you were holding back before?" Gold said.

"A magician does not show all his tricks before the show even shows." Glimpse quoted.

"You aren't a magician, but I'll agree to that. I got some stuff I can't do that you haven't seen." Gold said.

"Let me guess, more blue balls?" Glimpse said with a smirk.

"I can't tell if you are serious or making a sexual joke." Gold said with a laugh.

"A little of both." Glimpse said.

"Cut the chitter-chatter and maim each other already!" Pinkie yelled from the crowd, making everypony look at her, "I mean, fight!" she added.

Gold and Glimpse cut the conversation short and looked at their opponent fiercely, ready to fight. Gold was about to attack but Glimpse stopped him for a second.

"Hold up, if we are seriously doing this, let me change." and with that Glimpse blinked away to change a bit.

Gold was left wondering, what kind of wardrobe change could he possibly have? Glimpse appeared back to his spot, now wearing gray armor on both his right arm and right leg. On the same arm, was a red flowing cape, which stopped right before his ankle.

"Oh really, do you need armor to fight me?" Gold said with a smirk.

"No, I just wanna show that I'm getting serious. Also brought this with me." Glimpse said, bringing out the sword he brought from his world, a piece of Master Emerald in it.

"Oh seriously, a sword too!" Gold whined slightly.

"All I hear is complain after complain." Glimpse said, swinging his sword in his hand.

"Alright fine, I can still win even if you are cheating with that armor and sword."

"It isn't cheating!"

"So is."

"No it's not!"

"Is!"

"Not!"

"Can you two shut up and fight!" Sonic yelled from the crowd.

"Yes, shall we?" Gold said.

"Yes, we shall."

The fight opened with Gold immediately moving in for melee. However, he was pushed back when Glimpse sliced his sword in the air, creating a wave of chaos in the air. Glimpse threw his sword at Gold. Gold sidestepped the throw, touching it with his hands and making it spin back at Glimpse. Glimpse being skilled in swordsmanship, caught the sword by the hilt and slashed again, another wave coming out and hitting its mark on Gold. Glimpse took the opportunity to attack and jumped in the air and prepared to do a jumping slice but Gold back pedaled. The sword hit the ground, creating a vertical chaos slash that Gold did not expect, hitting him directly. Glimpse threw the sword tip first into the dirt, sticking it in the ground. He ran at Gold with blinding speeds with his boosters on his shoes, landing a punch in the jaw, sending Gold flipping in the air. Gold landed on his feet and immediately pushed of the ground to launch at Glimpse. However, this plan failed when Glimpse had sent a Chaos Impulse through the ground. As soon as Gold touched ground, a chaos attack hit him, sending him back upward. Gold landed again, and tried to run forward again. As he was running, the Chaos Impulses were like landmines, shooting out of the ground and hitting Gold. He managed to weave through some but some hit him from surprise. Gold got close enough to Glimpse to throw a Eon-covered punch.

"Chaos Bind."

Gold was immobilized by a ring of Chaos energy, stuck in place. Chaos Bind would render the opponent unable to move, allowing the user to set up an attack. Glimpse did just this and did a Chaos Control about a mile away from Gold. He used a support attack called Chaos Impact that boosted his abilities for a time. He started to run back to Gold in a quickened pace, chaos energy building up fast in him. He wanted to get close as possible for this. Gold, meanwhile, was struggling to get free of the Chaos Bind. Nothing worked but then he had an idea. If the Chaos Bind was like a rubber band around a balloon, then to expand and eventually break, the pressure would have to increase. Gold used this example and started to build up Eon energy into him. A faint blue aura glowed from him, turning bluer and bluer as he built up the energy. Glimpse was getting close to coming back with a boatload of Chaos energy stored for a point-blank Chaos Blast. At the last second, right when Glimpse was an inch away and was ready to release the boosted Chaos Blast, the Chaos Bind broke from Gold like a bubble of glass, sending Glimpse backwards toward his sword. Glimpse was slightly hurt from the sudden burst and the Chaos energy that he was storing wasted. He quickly grabbed his sword from the ground and filled it with energy, it glowing. He went for a jumping slash at Gold, who was on one knee from exerting that energy. Gold looked up slightly to see Glimpse with his sword held high, jumping in front of the Sun. Gold put his hands up with Eon on them, the sword making contact with them.

Ting.

An explosion came when the sword hit his hands, sending them flying in different directions, both landing violently on the ground. The smoke cleared from the explosion caused by the combination of Chaos and Eon. Both fighters sat up with wounds in both of them, and looked at each other.

"Shall we call it a draw?" Gold offered.

"Even though, I won, we can call it that if it will help your feelings." Glimpse said, getting up.

"Oh believe me, I didn't even get started yet." Gold said, also getting up.

"I think it's time for someone else. Pinkie, you know what to do." Glimpse said to the bouncing pony, who was bouncing after the exciting fight.

"I pick Gold again!" she said bouncing.

"Pinkie, I don't know if he..." Glimpse was saying.

"I can go again, it's training remember?" Gold said, waving off how he just fought.

"Oh, I got an idea! Glimpse, you might want to hear it." Pinkie said bouncing toward him.

She whispered to him her idea, giving Glimpse a smile.

"I like it. Gold, cover your eyes." Glimpse said.

Gold looked around for a blindfold of sorts, but found no cloth to use. He used some innovation and covered his eyes with one of his tails. After a few moment of whispers and silence, with some uneasiness as well, Glimpse spoke again.

"Okay Gold, listen up. It was easy for you to fight me, since you knew some of what I was going to do. This time, you aren't going to have any idea. You will uncover your eyes, and be the first one to be attacked. It'll be like a surprise attack." Glimpse explained.

"Okay, tell me when to open." Gold agreed, thinking it was a good idea to train for surprise attacks.

It took a few moments but his opponent was ready.

"Okay your opponent is ready. Open in 3...2...1...OPEN DEM EYES!" Glimpse counted.

Gold removed his tails from his face to be meet with a pair of hooves right in the face and fell back. Right after he felt a tingling sensation and was raised in the air violently and tossed the other direction, skidding across the dirt ground. He sat up to see his opponent.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on! I'm not fighting my girlfriend!"

"You're not! You're fighting your marefriend!"

---

First part of training done. Capt and Aura, I hope you enjoyed the fight I gave you two. I give my thanks to Glimpse for the Chaos Moves I needed to know. I decided to split this training in two, cause there is so much I want to fit in and write, I've been thinking about this idea for a while now. Next time, we have some more fight training, including a team fight. Also, we have a fight that's going to go above what it was supposed to be and get much darker and fiercer than intended. Also, a fight between two lovers, that I bet you already can tell who they are by the end of this chapter. Also, HA I TROLLED YOU GUYS! HAPPY LATE APRIL FOOLS! Until then, thank you for reading and reviewing, if you liked leave a review, follow, favorite and all that jazz, and as always,
