"I said, he's an abomination. I'm considering his immediate execution!" Celestia continued. I cracked my knuckles.

"Don't you DARE. Touch my son, and I will destroy you." I ran over and grabbed Unity from his crib before she could react. I picked him up, and he was on fire. It didn't burn and it didn't appear to actually do anything, so I ignored it and hugged him close.

"You dare defy me?! I COMMAND ALL EQUESTRIANS! I ORDER HIS EXECUTION. ALL EQUESTRIANS MUST OBEY ME!" Celestia raged.

"WELL IT'S A GOOD THING I'M NOT AN EQUESTRIAN HUH?!" I raged right back. Unity was awake, but he was too busy staring at the flames to care about the yelling. I started absorbing Celestia's power in preparation for a fight. It hurt, A LOT. I ignored the pain and stayed strong for Unity.

"YOU'VE NO IDEA WHO YOU'RE MESSING WITH FOOL!" Celestia yelled.

"No, you don't know who you're messing with. Leave my son alone. I don't want to fight you, but I will." I said calmly. Celestia hunched over, hooves slightly spread like she was going to charge me. I got in a ready stance and prepared to fight. Then Celestia stood back up normally and beamed at me.

"Well well Twilight, you were right about him." Celestia said. I gave her a confused look.

"What?" I asked. Twilight walked in and stood next to Celestia.

"See? He'd do anything to protect those closest to him." Twilight said.

"What?" I asked.

"Yes, he even stood up to me. I applaud his bravery." Celestia continued.

"Fine, I'm leaving. You two enjoy your talk." I said. I was so purely confused, I wasn't even going to try to figure it out.

"Thank you!" Twilight shouted after me. After I was gone Celestia smiled down at Twilight.

"I approve." She said simply.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I found my way to the kitchen once more, and Celestia was there waiting for me.

"Oh great! Please don't confuse me any more!" I pleaded.

"Sorry about that, I wanted to judge your character so that I could be sure you would actually raise Unity to be good." She explained. I nodded.

"Fair enough. I hope I did good enough?" I asked. She smiled again.

"You were fantastic." She consoled me. She trotted over to me and stood only a few inches away.

"Oh good, I wouldn't want to displease you." I said nervously. She was really close.

"Oh, I think all you could do is please me..."

"Uhhhhh....."

"Because you take such good care of my little ponies!"

"Oh thank god..."

"Now I would like you to take care of me..."

"Uhhhhh....."

"You see, I'm not a cook, and I'm famished. Would you mind making me something? Is that too much?"

"Oh thank god... Sure Princess Mo--Celestia. That is, if you don't mind me using these bottles for Unity." I walked over to the bottle cabinet. Celestia jumped in shock.

"We still have those!? Yes, sure you can use those... but... could you leave one of each here? They are memories after all..." I jumped.

"Y-you're letting me keep them? I just expected to use them while I was here..."

"Sure you can have them! Though, do you really need that many?" Celestia asked. I laughed and held up my hand. Which STILL had the plastic wrap bottle on it.

"Yes Princess, I do." I chuckled. She laughed with me.

"Well keep them. Think of it as a thank you for breakfast." She said. I grinned and walked over to the fridge. It's not every day you get to cook for a god. I thought for a moment as I considered what to make her. I grinned as an idea came to me.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"Yes, that is toast, that is scrambled eggs, and that Princess, is cereal." I explained.

"I've not seen food quite like this..." Princess Celestia said hesitantly. I laughed.

"I thought not. That's why I made it!" I said happily. "It's really good, just try it!"

"I'm not sure..."

"Just try it ya big baby." I said forcefully. She gave me a stunned look. Then she smiled and burst out laughing.

"Nopony quite has the gall to speak to me like you do. Very well, I will try it." She conceeded. She took a hesitant bit of the cereal. Her eyes widened and she started eating it very quickly. "This... is... DELICIOUS!!!" She cheered. "What do you call this??"

"It's cereal. Frosted Oats to be exact." I explained. "Thanks for the bottles again." I had filled another bottle and Unity was drinking the bottle. Yeah, not the milk. Again. Celestia was watching him drink with intrest.

"So, why do you fill the bottle if he doesn't drink the milk?" She asked.

"Well, he doesn't always drink the bottle. Besides, he won't touch it unless it's filled with chocolate milk." I explained. Celestia gave me a confused look.

"Why does it have to be chocolate milk?" She asked. I shrugged.

"You tell me." I said simply. Unity finished the bottle and I grabbed the milk. It remained solid in my hand, and I had an idea. "Hey, do you think you can survive an explosion?" I asked. She laughed.

"My domain is the sun, an explosion would barely tickle." She said. I nodded.

"Good, catch." I threw the milk at her and it hit her in the chest.

*BOOM* I had turned away for the explosion, but I looked back as soon as I could. There was smoke everywhere, but as the smoke cleared I saw that the only thing effected by the blast was Celestia. She was sitting at the table, her eyes were really wide and she was blinking rapidly. Her mane's flow had been disturbed and now each of the colors waved around on their own.

"THAT'S why you shouldn't insult my son." I said simply. She glared at me, but we both cracked a smile and started laughing.

"Fair enough, you got me." She said. She stood up and shook herself. A little bit of soot flew off her coat.

"I'll fix your mane for you right after I burp Unity." I said. She gave me another confused look.

"What's wrong with my mane?" She asked. I laughed.

"Nothing, nothing. Just let me fix it." I burped Unity, and the little moon on the bottle flew out of his mouth. Yeah, the moon on the bottle was a sticker, but he burped out a moon rock. I walked over to Celestia and tried to fix her mane, but my hand passed right through it. "Hmmm... nevermind, I can't touch it." I said. Luna ran into the room.

"We heard the explosion! Is everypony o--" Luna looked at Celestia. Luna rolled on her back, laughing like an idiot. "Tia! Ha ha thou should see thyself!" Luna laughed. I looked at Luna, laughing and rolling around on the ground, and I started cracking up too. Celestia tried to look serious, but she couldn't keep a straight face either. We all ended up laughing like idiots. I know Unity didn't have a clue what was going on, but he was smiling and giggling too. We tried to stop laughing a few times, but each time we managed to compose ourselves, we looked at each other and burst out laughing again. Eventually we managed to calm ourselves down.

"Well sister, *snicker* let us fix thine mane..." Luna managed to say. Her aura wrapped around Celestia's mane and put it back together. "There, much better."

"Thank you Luna. Anyway, I believe it's about time we got Sharky and the others back to Ponyville, don't you agree?" Celestia asked. Luna nodded in agreement.

"Tis true, we hath prolonged thine stay enough already. Besides, we have another mission for thou Sharky." Luna said sadly. My jaw dropped.

"What do you mean sister?" Celestia asked suspiciously. Luna flinched.

"Ummm... we may have knighted Sharky..." Luna admitted.

"YOU DID WHAT?!? LUNA! YOU KNOW WHAT HE MEANS TO MY STUDENT AND HER FRIENDS! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!?" Celestia shreiked. I would've complained about having another mission so soon, but I didn't want to interrupt them.

"Because this... human? Tis human yes?" Luna asked me. I nodded. "Has the bravery and strength necessary to combat evils we cannot!" Luna shouted back at Celestia.

"Wait, what do you mean I can fight things you can't?" I asked. Luna flinched again and turned to me.

"Sharky..." Luna sighed. "You may never repeat what we tell thou now." She commanded. I nodded in understanding. "Controlling the moon and sun takes an unimaginable amount of energy. We are always controlling them, and as such, our power is limited greatly. Were we to try and combat the evils in Equestria, we would die from energy loss..." Luna explained.

"That doesn't mean you recruit HIM!" Celestia said firmly. "There are plenty of willing ponies to fight for Equestria. Why choose him?!"

"BECAUSE HE CAN SURVIVE!" Luna thundered. Celestia flinched from the force in her voice. "Do you know that in less than two hours, he wiped out a pack of 59 Timber Wolves? INCLUDING an alpha?" Luna asked. Celestia gasped.

"T-that's not possible..." Celestia murmured.

"Yeah it is. It really wasn't that hard, I had help too." I said. Celestia turned her attention to me.

"Sharky... No other PONY could do that. No matter who assisted them. With the exception of Luna and myself of course." Celestia explained.

"She speaks the truth Sharky, even our finest hunter failed to defeat them." Luna added.

"Who was your finest hunter?" I asked. Luna looked down at her hooves.

"Our finest hunter... twas Blade Breeze..." Luna mumbled. I tilted my head in confusion. That name sounded familiar...

"Wait... Blade Breeze... Shadow's brother was a HUNTER!?!" I yelled in realization. Luna nodded slowly.

"Yes, he never wanted to leave his brother unprotected, so he used his brother's invention as an excuse to travel and fight monsters without his brother knowing. He was our best Knight.... and a good pony..." Luna murmered sadly. I fell backward, causing myself to hit a wall and slide to the ground.

"Oh my gosh... Shadow would be devastated..." I murmered. I'd only known the guy a short while, but he was so peaceful... knowing that his brother killed behind his back for a living would destroy him... I shook my head clear of my thoughts and stood back up. "Well, then that means I HAVE to keep doing this. Nopony can do what I do, so I have to continue, no matter what. What's the monster Luna?" I asked.

"We... don't know. We have only recieved reports of a dragon-like creature on the outskirts of Ponyville. There have also been reports of more forest fires and dead animals in that area as well." Luna answered.

"Wait, did you say Ponyville?!" I asked quickly. Luna nodded.

"Yes, thine next mission... will be at thine home." Luna said in a serious tone.

Crap.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"Everypony, grab your stuff NOW! We are leaving." I announced as I ran into Twilight and Rarity's room. Twilight had returned to the room, and the girls had all woken up.

"What's wrong Sharky?" Fluttershy asked. The moment I had walked in, Fang was by my side. What a good wolf.

"I've got another mission. We need to go NOW." I explained. I walked over to my axe and held it in my left hand. My right still had Unity.

"Oh no! You're not leaving us AGAIN!" Twilight yelled.

"You're right. We're all going to Ponyville. Now." I said. Twilight gave me a confused look.

"I thought you said you got a mission..." Twilight muttered.

"I did." I said.

"Then why are you going to Ponyville?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Because I have a mission. NOW LETS GO." I would have picked them up and brought them, but my hands were full. I decided instead to turn and leave. Sure enough, they all followed closely behind.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"Hey Applejack, hi Shadow, hello Pinkie." I said as I stepped into their room. Shadow smiled and waved. The other two trotted up to me.

"Howdy Sharky. Are we leavin' anytime soon? I gotta get back to mah family." Applejack asked.

"And I've got to get back to the bakery! The Cakes are problably so far behind without me there to help!" Pinkie blurted.

"Well, good. We are leaving NOW. Follow me." I started walking away. Without turning I shouted behind me. "That means you too Shadow!"

"Oh... ok." Shadow said shyly. I led them all down the hall until we reached Luna.

"Ok Lu-- Princess, you can send us back now." I said.

"Very well, good luck Sharky." Luna said. We disappeared in a flash of black light.

Wait, why do I feel like I'm forgetting something? I thought to myself as we disappeared.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"I wonder if they're still looking for me..." Stormy muttered to himself as he huddled on top of small tower on Canterlot Palace.
