The carriage slows as the pegasi guards drop low to land in the castle grounds. I take a moment to look out the side of the carriage as it drops to see squads of guard ponies entering large carriages and taking off towards the city. I cast my gaze over the scene below me, it was like some scene out of a war film. All the guards were getting ready for war.

“We're here John, the princesses are over by the marshalling area. Would you like me to escort you there?” One of the pegasi guards say as the carriage lands without a bump.

“Big area were all the guards are piling into large carriages? No I think I can find it.” I reply smirking.

“Well ok, we have to report to our squad leader.”

“Don't let me keep you.” I say, jumping down from the carriage.

The guards both nod and pull their carriage away. I stand in silence as I compose myself for the inevitable onslaught of questions and the denied requests for me to join the search for my sisters. I laugh to myself as I imagine Celestia trying to keep me from leaving the castle. Though Luna seems to be more on my side than anyone else, well apart from my other friends of course. I make my way across the wide open courtyard, side glancing at all the guards standing to attention while being grilled by a guard wearing some sort of roman centurion outfit.

I happen to come across a full squad of....Oh shit! It was a squad full of mares. Well, guess they do employ mares in the guard. I try to pass without drawing any attention to myself, that is until half of the mare squad start sniffing the air. I panic, stuck in a wide open space with nothing but twenty meters of solid ground between you and multiple mares capable of destroying me; sexually and mentally.

I was spotted. Two of the mares glare at me, while two more sniff in my direction. All the mares now turn towards me and slowly walk in my direction. Shit! Shit! Shit! That's all that runs through my mind as I quickly try to figure out how to escape. I spot an open door, only problem it would take me closer to them to reach it. Screw this! I think as I charge for the door. Two guard mares block my path by jumping in front of me, I leap frog both of them much to my shock and theirs.

Running full sprint I grab for the door. I manage to enter and close the door before any of the mares catch me. I draw a long breath. Ok this is ridiculous, why do I have mares chasing me? And what was with the sniffing? I turn around to look at were I had invaded, only to have all the blood drain from my face. I had thirty pairs of eyes staring back at me, some from shower cubicles. All female.

I look to a sign above the door only for it to say 'Mare Locker Room'. Of course I had to land in the one place that would probably be death by snu snu. I hug the wall as close as I could and slowly without making any sudden movements, slide my way to the exit. My hopes were dashed as several of the mares started that sniffing thing before putting on a half lidded 'I want you now' look. I try to run only for all the mares to block off my escape roots. I had only one thing to do and it brought back memories of my first night I landed in Ponyville. You guessed it! I screamed.

“Help me! Somepony please! For the love of all things holy and sacred! Help!” I was hugging the wall as if my life depended on it. My heart was skipping beats. I had thirty mares all crowding around me and all I could do was cry for help. Jesus, my man instincts had been ruined by this place. Hell, some of them were still dripping wet from the showers they had left.

I was about to cry again as a bright flash of light entered the room followed by a very cross looking Celestia. That was until I cried out.

“Oh thank the heavens for you Celestia! Please! Get me out of here!”

“John? What are you doing in here?” Celestia asks giving me a raised eyebrow.

“Long story! No time!” Some of the guard mares had started to run their hooves over my chest and legs. “Celestia! I'm about to be raped by very hungry looking guard mares, getting me out would be very helpful now.” I feel a tingling sensation as my body is hoisted up into the air, the mares all cry for me. It was like a scene out of a zombie movie, even complete with growls and howls of wanting.

“Guards!” Celestia shouts. “Stop this at once!”

The mares all turn towards Celestia and their faces darken, the pegasi flare their wings and the unicorns lower their heads as their horns light up. Are they seriously going to attack Celestia over me? One half I feel honoured and the other I feel quite scared by that.

“Celestia! I think we should teleport now! I mean if your not BUSY!” I shout.

Celestia looks at me and her eyes widen, before she nods and activates her teleport spell. A few moments later we appear in front of several very shocked looking ponies, one of which was Luna. I look around the room, still held aloft by Celestias magic.

“Hi guys! Hows it going?” I say, just before I face plant the floor when Celestia lets me go. “Ow! I think my nose is broken!” I state, as I rise to my feet. I give my nose a few squeezes. “Nope! I'm ok!” Luna face hoofs.

“Sorry John.” Celestia says.

“No probs, it's not everyday a princess face plants me. Though it's a good move in the bed chambers.” I say, making my eyebrows go up and down as I look towards Celestia. Celestia blushes.

“Ahem! Princess can we please proceed, now the resident idiot has turned up.” A dark grey stallion asks, damn that guy just made my naughty list.

“Yes, thank you Steel Wing.” Celestia replies clearing her throat. “As you all know, and now John. I have deployed the guard around the surrounding areas where Johns companions were last seen.” Celestia looks around to make sure we are all following. “Nothing yet has come to light though of miss Rarity and miss Fluttershys last known location. However each squad has a pegasi that if any unit discovers any information of them, they can report it to us here in a very short time.”

“Princess, if I may?” Steel Wing asks, Celestia nods. “Why do we have the human here? He is not military, what use could he be to us?”

I frown. “Hey asswipe! I may not be military now but I will be!” I point at him. “And another thing, what have you got against me anyway?”

“I have nothing against you, I am merely pointing out that you have no purpose here.” steel Wing replies, showing almost no emotion.

“John is here on my sisters request Steel Wing, John is to be her new commander of the future Crescent Guards.” Celestia answers.

“You mean him!? Of all the ponies! It's going to be him!?” Steel Wing finally shows some emotion though it's target could of been better handled.

“Do you have something against that decision Steel Wing?” Luna asks, stepping forward.

Steel Wing bows, fecking pussy. “Of course not Princess Luna, I was just surprised at the choosing.”

“John has proven himself to me to be the right candidate for this position.” I knew that was a lie, i'm only being given the honour because some vision said I will be. “But if you show me some better choice I will consider them.” Steel Wing smirks.

“Of course princess, if I find one better I will let you know.”

“Ok! Can we get back to the situation at hand?” I ask.

“You're right, like I said until we receive any more information we don't know when or where to search.” Celestia continues.

“Princess, I would like to be out there.” I say.

“Absolutely not John. We have no idea that you are not a target too. Until that time it would be safer I you stay here with us.” Luna states.

“No!” I reply flatly.

“No! How dare you speak that way to a princess!” Steel Wing replies stepping up to my face .

“Princess? Get your lap dog out of my face before he finds me more than he can handle!”

“Lap Dog! LAP DOG!” Steel Wings face reddens in anger. “I will teach you your place whelp.” Steel Wing lifts up a hoof to strike me, it was a bad move.

In a flash of speed even I couldn't believe, I grab his hoof in mid air and push him away. However my move had so much force behind it, he flew through the air and impacted the opposite wall. His body slid down the wall only to slump at the bottom. I would have explained what happened next but at that moment my whole world went fuzzy.

John hurled steel Wing across the room with one push of his arm, Steel Wings unconscious form slumps to the floor. The other ponies in the room gasp at the feat.

“John what are you-” Luna cuts off, as she spots Johns eyes are glowing bright yellow. “Sister his eyes! They are yellow! We must get everypony out now!”

“Everypony out now! Quickly!” Celestia gestures at the door, all the ponies gallop out as fast as they could. Only Celestia and Luna stay behind.

“Luna! It must be an emotional reaction!” Celestia shouts, trotting over and teleporting Steel Wing away. “John must calm down!”

John stands near the planning table, his fists clenched. That wasn't scaring the princesses though, it was the fact his body was starting to glow. John bends over as he grabs his chest and abdomen, a scream leaves his mouth, the light now pulsing from his body.

“Sister! The pulses! They are not for show, I sense real raw magic behind them.” Luna states turning to Celestia.

“I know, I sense it too.” Celestia activates a shield to protect her and Luna from the pulses.

The pulses had now become so strong, that the table in the centre of the room was being pushed along the floor. The map on top now completely burned. The ground around Johns bent form was now scolded from the blasts.

“Luna can you put a shield around John?”

“What for sister?”

“To try and contain the magic. I feel it will tear this room apart!” Celestia says, the strain on her face evident in the sweat trickling down it. “The magic is too strong for me to maintain my shield for much longer!”

Luna nods and uses her magic to put a shield around Johns now kneeling form. Both princess look on in despair as John screams, the magic forcing it's way out of his body.

“Do you think this a change?” Luna asks.

“It shouldn't be! His last wasn't long ago, according to his rate of absorption a change shouldn't happen for another two months! At least!”

“Then why is this happening?”

“I have no idea! But this much magic can not of built up in this short time, I think this is something more.”

“More? Like what?”

“Again, I don't know! But this feels more like a transformation! Then again I don't know Johns physiology!” Celestia replies.

The two sisters look back to John as his figure now pulsing rapidly, rises to it's feet. The figure look to them and in a low hissed voice speaks.

“Mussssst find sistersssss.”

Johns body bends over again, then with one large scream his magic explodes outward. The force so powerful it destroys Luna's shield and Celestia's shield, throwing them into the nearest wall. Both sisters blackout.

**** *** ****

Celestia opens her eye's as her name is called, she finds a royal guard bent over her.

“Thank goodness your highness, your awake!” The guard states, helping Celestia back to her hooves. “We though you were dead!”

“Guard, what happened? Where's my sister?” Celestia looks around the room but can find no sign of Luna.

“Princess Luna took off after she made sure you got attention.” The guard pointed to a large scorched hole in the castle wall. “What ever knocked you out princess made that.”

“It was John, my guest.”

“The human!?” The guard steps back. “They are capable of that?”

“No, John is going through a change. His M.A.R is unstable and prone to outbursts.” Celestia replies.

“Some outburst, your majesty.” The guard says, approaching the hole.

“I believe this change is some emotion triggered transformation, but what; I cannot say.” Celestia states, walking up next to the guard. “How is Steel Wing?” Celestia asks turning to look at the guard.

“He is stable princess, though I think his pride took more of a hit than his body.”

“Then I am glad.” Celestia opens her wings.

“Princess? Where are you going?” The guard asks.

“I have to go after John and Luna, tell the commanders that my previous orders still stand. Find the element bearers and report their location.” Celestia says, before taking off out the hole and flying over Canterlot.

Luna never wanted to leave Celestia laying there but when the guards returned, she knew she would be in good hooves. It took Luna almost twenty minutes to find what she was looking for. Standing on one of the highest buildings in Canterlot city was a bright yellow glowing creature, it's form and size unmistakable that it was John.

“John!” Luna cries out.

The creature turns rapidly and flares a pair of wings that makes Luna stop in her tracks. The wings were easily larger than her sisters. Judging by the length from shoulder to tip each was at least four meters, giving the creature a wingspan of eight meters. The creature makes no move but just watches her land on the same roof, this is when Luna notices the creatures lack of features both facially and bodily.

“John it's me, do you recognise me?” Luna asks. The creature just tilts its head. “It's Luna, your friend.”

The creature takes one step towards her its wings still flared.

“Luuunaaaa?” The creature says in almost a confused tone. “Sssssisterrrr?” The creature asks pointing to Luna.

“No I am not, but I am a friend. I want to help you.” Luna walks closer to the creature.

The creature makes a small grunt sound and turns away from her.

“Wait! Please let me help.”

The creature turns back and in one swift movement of light grabs Luna by the neck. It lifts her off the ground so Luna is looking directly at were the creatures eyes would be. The creatures free hand moves up and traces Luna’s face from the muzzle up to her horn. The touch causes shivers over Luna's body, the creatures finger then moves to the horn itself.

“No, please don't.” Luna pleads, knowing how sensitive horns can be.

The creature uses it's index finger to slowly rub up to the top of Luna's horn, Luna gasps with the motion. The creature then proceeds to trace the other side of Luna's horn, causing more shivers and pleasure to rack her body. When the creature finishes tracing Luna's horn, it drops her. Luna was blushing and panting from the creatures touch.

“Help. Acceptable.” The creature states, approaching the roofs edge. “Come.” The creature says before jumping off the roof and flying away.

“Wait for me!” Luna shouts. Though she was admitting that the creatures touch was really good, Luna shakes her head to clear the thoughts. “Hey! Wait up!”
