Author's Notes:

From here on out, all chapters will be labeled with the correct Ratting for "Everyone = E" "Teen = T" "Mature = M" and the sex/gore tags will also be applied to the chapters to tell you all which ones are good to look out for. Also, the sections that contain the graphic parts will be cordoned off with a warning to let the you all know.

A white throne sits on the far side of a large circular room; hundreds of marble pillars line the walls. A second throne then starts to assemble right next to the White throne; it is Midnight Blue and Silver instead of the white thrones Marble and Gold. Once the Midnight Blue throne had made itself, it began to change color; going from Midnight Blue to black over the course of what felt like hours.

Soon the entire throne was Black and Silver, instead of its original colors. Suddenly both thrones started to crumble and give way, sparks flying between them during the whole process. The white throne gathered a rainbow of colors around its high back and launched the gathered energy at the Black throne. The black throne disappeared in a blast of power and light, not even its stand remained.

The White throne stood alone for a long time, gathering dust and cobwebs, no acknowledgement for what it had had to do. After what felt to be a hundred years, it came back. The Black throne remade itself on the other side of the room, standing taller than the white one and almost twice as big.

But, in its absence, six smaller thrones had been erected. One was purple and violet, it stood in the center of the other five thrones. The one to its left was white and purple while the one to its right was red and orange. A pink and blue one stood at the back while two others stood at the front. One blue and ringed in rainbows and the other yellow and pink.

The black throne tried to destroy the smaller six, but its efforts were futile, as a seventh throne, much more ornate and oddly colored than the rest. It forged its way out of the marble between the black throne and the six, it stood tall and wide, pillars and smaller gothic like structures carved themselves into the sides of its wide arms and base. Flames sat on the head of the twin pillars that made up the headboard.

The new throne was dark, Crimson panels with Black trim, and Kaki pinstripes down the corners. The throne then began dueling ON PAR with the tall Black throne, trading blow for blow and not even flinching. Then the Crimson throne, hit with a dark orb of power, blasted from its place in the room, landing against a far wall. The six smaller thrones reacted almost instantly with this turn of events and blasted the Black throne with a devastating barrage of energy. This stripped the Black throne of all its power, even releasing Midnight Blue from its prison.

The Crimson throne sent a protective spell over to cover Midnight Blue and shield her from the teeth of the Six, becoming her protector forevermore.


The Midnight Blue was alone, yet not alone, it was far from its sister that it did no longer know. Surrounded by Beings of every stripe it was no longer just a throne as its form changed and formed, giving life to a suffered immortal. An equine, but more than such, stood before the gathered beings as they bowed in honor. The Equine stood around Five foot six and was Midnight blue with silver armor pieces adorning its four hooves and chest, even a Silver tiara sat atop the regal Equines form.

The Equine then lay on a massive throne of purest silver and obsidian, it had dark Crimson pillows stitched right into the stone and Silver. All the beings before it then rose from their prostrate positions, drew many cylinders from their sides, and depressed tabs on the side of the cylindrical objects. A faint snap-hiss came from the objects. The Equine then donned a motherly and adoring smile across her muzzle, her eyes held a depth of love and caring that none had ever seen for millennium.

The beings then turned around, the light from their torches lit up their faces and bodies, illuminating them to world. Five of the beings drew back their hoods, revealing their faces. Three of them were other equines, one tan, one white, and one dark orange. The other two were a purple-scaled dragon and a human.

They took up guarding positions around the Equine while the rest of the torch wielding beings spread out and knelt before the equine, paying fealty to the goddess like being. There were hundreds of races soon present, each one holding a torch, they ranged from Minatours to Ponies, to Dragons and Changelings, to Bith and Twilieks, to Chiss and Barrabels. Hundreds of races from both galaxies stood before the Equine princess and gave fealty, not as subjects, but as friends.


“Hello… what have we here…” A deep voice scratchy voice rattled off once the vision had fled.

“Who…?” I called out… not knowing what I would see… when a large serpentine creature rolled (NO, Fucking seriously here, he ROLLED OUT OF THE FUCKING DARK!) and sprang over to my left and adorned a monocle.

“I say, I haven’t seen one here among the plains for so long… Millennium is more like it! No fun not being able to talk to the dreadful seekers and such, all to rational to gain squidly out of my meanderings!”

“Um… I am Ryan…. Who might you be?” I asked, not even slightly taken aback by his appearance, He may have been strange, but this was nothing.

“OH!” he shot back and adjusted his monocle, “What!? You speak, and you see me! WOONDERFUL! Simply wonderful!” The creature laughed out, his monocle and dress attire disappearing.

“Yes, I see you creature, But, and this is if I may be so bold, what is your name. For I do not wish to keep calling you ‘creature’…” I asked, not really expecting an answer from him. (Assuming that the creature was a him, I was just going by its voice…).

“I am Discord Master of Chaos and mischief, AT your service. . . And you are?” The serpentine creature swam around me in the either, drinking what would appear to be hot chocolate… no… he was drinking the GLASS that the chocolate was sitting in… Whelp, he did say he was the master of chaos and mischief…

“I, am Ryan Reiks… Jedi Knight, keeper of peace and harmony throughout the galaxy… And I would say, from just our titles alone, that we are to be sworn enemies… Something I do not wish to see, but would be glad to face.” The creature stopped and looked at me for the odd phrasing of my words. He then shrugged and kept on floating about the air above me.

“You are a strange creature Jedi… Keeper of peace… I can see why the Twin sisters have kept you around HAHA” The serpent chuckled and then snapped his fingers. In a poof, of magic and dust, a large skull topped throne appeared on a large slopped hilltop. Fires rose up around it and adorned the crowns of the sculls in seething black flames.

“For a creature of chaos, you sure seem to enjoy the look of destruction… My counterparts would enjoy you… Moreover, I must ask, Was that you… That tampered with mine StarCraft?” My question did nothing but raise a brow on the serpents head, not even breaking a bed of sweat.

“You dare… Ask, ME, if I was the one that almost killed that pour pony? How could you even fathom such a thing my new friend!?” The amount of sarcasm and venom in his voice made me chuckle slightly for even having to ask such an obvious question of the chaotic master before me. None would have done so in my stead, for they would have been too afraid of his imposing figure.

“Do you think me afraid of you… Discord?” I asked, less than cordial in my actions of slumping down to a seat of fur, similar to his own, and taking in a snifter of dark red liquid.

“You are, BY FAR, the most interesting creature to have ever sullied my presence… I LIKE IT! In addition, to being a man of Harmony, but still change things to his whim… You are not some man I want to live that is known now… And no… I can sense that you have faced things that would have sent the most stalwart of ponies to their knees… BUT, YOU have never faced someone like ME!” His form changed, it hurt my eyes to see the rippling mass rip and change so drastically… over and over, he went through so many shapes and visages that my mind soon then quite trying to see him, and just gazed upon him. No man, not even a force damned Sith, should have gone through what I just did… I will be haunted for eternity… and then some.

“Discord… You have made your point… Nevertheless, might I ask of mine release from this realm of chaos and despair… I will linger not, and allow you to get back to your planes.” My words made the Serpent chuckle and grin madly at me, not out of hate or loathing, but out of respect, for seeing through the shadows and seeing that I was a prisoner, just as he seemed to be as well.

“Very Well, Jedi… I will release you… BUT, we will see each other soon… The wards on this realm are weakening, all will feel my wrath and see nothing but darkness and shade for how they had tossed me aside when the sisters fought me!” There was a flash of light and I was no longer in the limbo between worlds, but back in my own mind, waiting to awaken.


Perspective: Ryan-continued


"Good morning everyone..." Luna mumbled from under the covers, trying her best to wiggle out of the pile of bodies.

"Good morning Luna..." Spike mumbled from her right, shocking her slightly and turning her cheeks a dark purple.

"Good morning you two... Stop making goo goo eyes and get out of bed damn it..." I grumbled as I shifted myself more to the left, moving the comfy body pillow in my arms up to my eyes to snuggle it... wait... Body pillow? Oh fuck.... that was Fluttershy...

A faint "Eep!" Was all I heard as she curled farther into my body to stay warm. She then lifted her head up to mine and gave me a slight peck on the cheek, making us both blush madly.

"Mornin.." I whispered to her as the others slowly groaned and got out of bed.

"Mornin to you too..." She cooed, one of her primaries came up from under the cover and traced itself along my bearded cheek, making my chuckle slightly at the thought of shaving. I then took my left hand and began running it through her luscious pink mane.

"Mmm" She purred as I ran my fingers through her mane, rubbing little circle on her temples and behind her ears, making her blush, coo, and purr all the more at my ministrations.

"Has anypony seen Fluttershy?" Twilight called out, as she was the only one out of bed and stretching her kinked neck and back.

"Uh oh..." The two of us murmured together. We knew this might not end well... just not how badly...

"She's over here Twi..." I said, making it clear with a wave of my hand.

"Why would she be over there, Ryan?" She asked, her tone slightly curious and accusatory.

"Um... Because I wanted to be... if you're fine with that, that is..." Fluttershy said shyly as she crawled out from under the covers, trying to hid her blushing face from the rest of her friends.

"Oh dear... RYAN! Why was Fluttershy over there on your side of the bed!" Rarity shouted, blasting me from my spot on the bed, thankfully I had worn my underclothing for the night instead of my normal 'No cloths Policy' I usually held by myself... Fluttershy and I were thrown at how pissed the girls were at me for some misunderstood innuendos...

"Um.. Girls... Please... let me explain..." Fluttershy tried to cut in, but her trembling voice was to low to be heard over the scolding tones of our friends.

"How dare you!" Rarity admonished, a scowl etched into her face.

"Why ah never..." Applejack looked at me with displeasure in her eyes and at Fluttershy with sadness.

"..." Pinkie... she just sat their with a massive smile on her face giving me and Fluttershy the wiggly eyebrows... That mare... TO THIS DAY... still creeps me out...

"Ryan... they won't listen... What will we do..." Fluttershy asked, her voice lowered so they wouldn't hear her as she hid behind me. The children at least had the fore thought to leave the room and let us all handle the raving mares. I took Fluttershy into my lap and covered her ears, the next part was going to hurt... all of us.

"SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENCE!" I bellowed, having used the force to boost my volume. The girls all cringed and covered their ears with their hooves and screwed their eyes shut from the pain.

"NOW, will all of you PLEASE listen to what we have to say before I just kick all of you out for the disrespect you have shown your friend!" My gaze fell on Rainbow and Pinkie... they were the only ones that had not taken up arms against me, given the situation. "Rainbow, Pinkie, you two have yet to say your peace... What is it..." My heavy gaze made even the happy curls of Pinkie deflate slightly, Rainbow on the other hand just narrowed her eyes and looked right at me.

"Bub, I know you wouldn't take advantage of her, But i'm also at a loss for words about the whole thing... SO, I'm not saying jack diddly till I know more." The usually robust mare received many a curious glance from her friends after her well thought out statement.

"ANd you Pinkie?"

"Well... I'm just happy for you both! I mean, I almost thought that Fluttershy here would be the LAST of us to get a special somepony... But she's gone and beat us all to the punch! I'm SOOOoooo excited for her!" she then flipped around and stared at the other three ponies. "I'm also super duper disappointed in you girls for jumping to conclusions like this!" She said with a very defined pout.

"Thank you Pinkie... that means a lot..." Fluttershy said, she was speaking louder than usual thanks to the slight loss of hearing that she was being plagued with.

"Now, will the rest of you listen to us and let us give our peace?" I asked, raising an eyebrow to the other three.

"Yes Ryan..." Rarity said, lowering her head in guilt.

Sorry Ryan, fer jumpin to conclusn's ahn all..." Applejack said as she lowered her head and took off her hat is sorrow, twilight then followed suit and bowed her head in regret of her actions.

"I'm sorry too Ryan... please tell us the reason behind this and we will have an open mind.

Good, now... Fluttershy hold still real quick." She faintly heard me and kept still while I raised both hand to her ears and used some force energy to heal the damaged eardrums.

"Thank you..." she said as she then nuzzled into me chest, making the others a little off put by her actions.

"Alright then, last night Fluttershy had a nightmare, she came over to my side and asked if she could cover up next to me, I took this in stride and let her... But we did talk about what the lot of you might think about that and one thing led to another and we... discovered that we had greater feelings for each other than just being friends... She is a wonder full pony and I would not wish for any other by my side... She is kind, caring, loving, and has knocked some sense into this thick head of mine more than once... She has been my rock in the toughest time I had ever been and she pulled me out of the throws of the Darkside before they could dig deep and hold on." They were all shocked to hear my declarations of her abilities, they weren't shocked about the kindness and loving part... but about what she had done for me, they were speechless.

"Yes, and he has done wonders for me as well... He's understanding, patient, calm, loving, and has such a way with animals that he can put just about anything to rest... He's even helped me with my shyness and everything... I can't ever thank him enough... But I had known for a while that I liked him... But I never knew if he felt the same, after last knight though... I know." She blushed, craning her head back she pecked me on the cheek and blushed even more wildly. The girls were all speechless, save Pinkie and Rainbow, whom both had large, planet size, grins on the faces!

"Oh dear, that sounds simply fantastic!" Rarity gushed as she raced over to hug her friend. Twilight and Applejack looked at each other, shrugged, and walked over to do the same.

"If that's how ya feel about each other then, go fer it sugar cube!" Applejack said confidently.

"No doubt, I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions like that, but after hearing about all the terrible things... It just... you know..." Twilight said with a slight blush, I nodded to the three of them and smiled, thanking them and in understanding of what Twi meant.

"Now that that's done, lets go talk to Celestia... I know who had tried to kill Applejack last night..." The girls gasped and followed me out of the room as I made my way towards the children.


"Daddy, we're going to meet the Princess today, aren't we?" Luna asked as she and spike walked along next to me, they still had not been informed of the development between me and Fluttershy, But I knew that Luna and Shy would get along just fine... Spike would be even more ecstatic!

"Yep, I have a few tidbits of info that she will be interested in, many of which she will either beat the shit out of me for or just disintegrate me..." I said with a hearty chuckle, though personally believing what I said had some weight behind it. We had all made it to the path that led through the EverFree, with my wolfen escorts not far behind.

"Hmm... Do you think she will listen to you Ryan?" Rainbow asked, she was floating above the rest of us, doing graceful aerial stunts as we walked.

"IF she values the lives of all her citizens... then yes she will... Or i'll beat it into her thick skull..." I replied tersely.

"That bad huh..." She asked, fluttering down to land the front half of her body on my right shoulder, her hind hooves playfully kicking into my back lightly.

"In all my years I have never met a more twisted and evil foe... Even his name is anathema to my order and your own way of life..." My words left a haunting note between all of the beings present, we then quickly made our way back to PonyVille and Found that the Princess was waiting for us at the Golden Oaks Library.

Several Guards were station around the building, each one decked in golden plate armor and outfitted with a pike and broad handled gladius. There was even a golden shield around the Library, enforcing the fact that the Princess was inside. Looking up at me, the five little ones were pleading to go check it out, I shook my head 'no' and motioned them to stay with me and the Girls.

"Alright everyone... I will be taking the lead, I want the rest of you to find a comfortable seat and listen closely.


The door flung open and I stepped through, nodding in thanks to the two guards that had let me in. The others soon spilled past me and hurriedly made for the long seats and the cushions tossed about the building. The large open floor plan allowed for everyone to sit in the very same room, instead of being forced to sit apart.

"Princess, I come with dark tidings..." I spread my arms out to my sides and gave a very slight bow of respect.

"As I have heard Dear Ryan. Now what is this about an assassination attempt on Honesty?" She asked from her seat, Celestia had taken up position at the center of the room, a small mound of pillows granting her a comfortable seat. He brow raised, she bid me to continue.

"Last night I was showing the Elements around the new Academy... Something I will be doing with you later today... And we had finished with my ship... Something that I trust they will keep secret from the rest of the world until I deem the news free. The only reason you do not know this, is this, you were busy and they were not... But as I was saying, we ended the tour with my ship." I gave a pause to let that information soak into her mind.

"So... you kept the fact that you have a bucking ship... ON MY PLANET... all to yourself Ryan?" Celestia spat, more noticeably miffed about that one itsy-bitsy tidbit of info than anything else.

"Yes, I kept it hidden because it can't kriffing fly damn it... I had to lift the fifteen ton bastard all the way through the forest and to the temple for safe keeping..." At the mention of it being fifteen tons all four magically capable beings in the room responded with dropped jaws.

"... Buck you Ryan..." Was Celestia's only response as she took a hoof and rubbed her face with it, trying to release the tension of an oncoming headache.

"Love you too Tia..." I said with a cheeky grin, eliciting a round of deadpan looks from the elements, save pinkie and Rainbow, who understood my tactics and snickered at them.

"Just get on with it..."

"Fine, AS I was saying, I let them all clamor over the ship, seeing as I had disabled the four laser cannons on the sides and the five Shadow Bombs still in the tubes. Once everyone had sated their curiosity we had all started talking about different things... But then Applejack smacked one of the laser cannons and it began to power up, and quickly... I then shoved her out of the way with the force, saving her live and the innocence of everyone else from seeing their friend being turned to a black hunk of meat." My eyes narrowed at Celestia daring her to rebuke my claim, daring her to strike me for my actions and hidden tech.

"You said you had deactivated the lasers, correct?" Celestia asked, her tone becoming neutral once again.

"Yes, But I also know who tried to kill all of us... Because, if not for Applejack the entire ship would have overloaded and turned almost the entire temple into molten rock and slag...." My words hung in the air, they all knew it had been close, but not that close, Luna and the other four were huddled around Fluttershy as she went about trying to calm their fears. "Celestia..." This caught her attention, for it had been over a month or two since I had used her name without her title preceding it. She looked at me expectantly. "Have you ever heard of a being... Named Discord?" Her eyes nearly bugged out of her head, her jaw dropped slightly and her ears laid back, flat against her head.

"H...how do you know that name Ryan..." She said, her voice little more than a whisper.

"During our time resting," I motioned to the others in the room, "I had a Vision, I saw many things that have passed and that may come to pass... But once it was done... well I had a very... oh, Pleasant conversation with the Master of Chaos and Mischief... I liked his words... not his demeanor... Scared the kriffing piss out of me when he turned into every abominable creature known to the universe and then some... I fear him, yet I am not afraid... Beings like him are of the Dark... When we are of the light." At the last part I motioned to Luna, Spike, and the CMC, each of them corked their heads to the side in confusion at my words.

"You talked with him... How...?" She asked, slightly awed by this statement.

"Like I said, I had a vision, Or two really, One of the past and another of a possible future... I know what happened to your sister Celestia... and I'm sorry... I also know that you became stagnant in that time, But are now stronger for it. But Discord is coming... and he will kill us all, he is not like the trickster you used to fight and later imprison... he has changed, and for the worse... He said not when he would come, but he will soon... His wards are weakening, and they cannot be fixed." My words cut deep into the Princess, making her sag in guilt and sorrow, then shoot up in fear and anxiety.

"Then we will be ready..."

"I will need to train... The elements will be needed... but there will also need to be those that will defend them... Only those like me can do so... And you won't like who the other ones are, Twilight Celestia..." They both gave me confused looks as I turned around towards the children, though two were not exactly as such anyway. I motioned Spike and Luna forward, they grinned timidly to each other and walk up to my left and right respectively. I placed a comforting hand on both of them, sending soothing waves of energy into their small bodies.

"What is the meaning of this Ryan?" Celestia asked, tone cool and filled with a slight venomous undertone, ready to cut me down in an instant.

"Ryan... What does this have to do with them?" Twilight asked, almost completely oblivious to the implications of my action.

"These two have shown such promise as to have been granted a spot within the Jedi order, here on Gaia... Luna here has the ability to become the next great sage of the Jedi should she dedicate herself enough to the ways of the force, becoming one of the strongest force users in almost all known history, of both our worlds." My words shocked everyone, especially Luna and Celestia, to the core.

"Spike here shows much more than an affinity to the force, he has a force bond of the likes I've never seen., being able to feel his friends and family from countless light years, though right now it is in its infancy. He is also a strong fighter, one of the few taht would, in time, give even my master a run for his money in a straight up duel of strength. Spike also has shown his affinity for combative usage of the force. He once nearly launched me through a building if I hadn't softened the impact with the force." Again they were astonished, not even being able to comprehend how truly powerful these two children were, since they did not know what I was comparing them too, truly any way.

"Ryan... Are you saying that they are to be the ones to guard the Elements?! They are but children! How can they do this task you have set before them!" Celestia and Twilight growled, though twilight had used different words, I ain't going to repeat the same kriffing message Okay?!

"No, they are going to help ME guard the Elements... Though they might be in the fight themselves." Rainbow then chose that time to intervene, thankfully.

"Ryan, dude, How in the hay are they going to be of a challenge for some bucktard like Discord?!" Rainbow roared, flailing her arms about madly.

"Do you remember what I was able to do when Nightmare attacked?" She nodded her head and let me continue. "Now, imagine these two being able to do THAT, but over a thousand times better... That's what kind of power they will have, granted I was holding back, but they will still out rank EVEN ME in control and skill..." She went slightly wide eyed, as did the other girls, save Fluttershy whom had still been consoling the weeping forms of the CMC.

"I will condone this Ryan... But I don't have to like it..." Celestia cut in, making sure to shoot Rainbow a condescending look. "What kind of equipment will you need?" She asked, giving me a glare to beat all glares, if I hadn't taken on apprenticeship under Master Skywalker... I would have burst into flames from the intensity of this glare... Damn she was pissed the fek off... Damn... fuck my life!

"I won't need anything, Everything I need to train them is here in my head, and in a tome over a several hundred years old back at the temple... I just need you to prep the girls for the coming battle with Discord." Celestia nodded sagely and motioned everyone else out.


Perspective change: Luna


"Hey Spike... Do you think we will be any thing Like what daddy said we would be?" I asked him as we walked off to stand next to Fluttershy, the other girls were still a little traumatized about hearing what could have happened. Fluttershy was doing her best to keep a level head around them and keep them from spazing out and causing a scene.

"I don't know Luna, But we won't now unless we try... And that means that we will have to push each other to better ourselves..." Spike said, his maturing mind gave him a better handle on things than what even some of the girls had. Also being the voice of reason in all the chaos did help. Granted my own Maturity was most likely above some of the girls' there, I know they can all be quite immature at time, though Fluttershy being less so on that list than the others.

"I know Spike... I just hope we can achieve what my dad has planned for us..." I sighed and leaned into his side for a moment, he then wrapped a scaled arm around me and pulled me in closer, nuzzling the side of my face he then gave me a chaste kiss on the cheek and hugged me even closer.

"I just know one thing Luna... I won't let any harm come to you as long as it is within my power to stop it..." His words touched deeply within my heart, making my cheeks turn dark reddish purple from his confession.

"And the same to you Spike... I will watch over you as you will watch over me..." Our little heart to heart was over looked by the rest of the adults as they tried to not bicker amongst themselves for the umpteenth time since we walked outside. One thing I had noticed while sitting next to Fluttershy when we were inside, was that she kept looking at my dad with an interesting look in her eyes... The very same look that me and Spike would have when we looked at each other... OH... SHE liked my DAD! SQUEEE! I'm so happy for them! She's the best pony I've ever talked to! and daddy likes her! I can feel it! This is so exciting! I nuzzled into spike even more and gave him a kiss on the chin, earning me a look of small surprise before it turned to glee as he placed his fore head against mine, evading the horn on my head, the one thing that has been an irritant for some while too.

"I told you, we need to keep them safe!" Twilight roared as she jabbed a hoof in our direction, making us both jump at the sudden amount of attention.

"Twi, ya know tha' Ryan has the bes' interests of Equestria and them in min', but WE have to trust HIM... he did save our lives more than once you know!" Applejack sternly rebuked Twilight and stamped her hoof in defiance of her friends wishes.

"She's right Twilight, Ryan has protected us, and our siblings, form many things in his short time staying here... though not all the time with the most conservative of efforts..." Rarity chimed in, making the fight in Twilight's eyes fade even more. The fat that her friends were telling her to keep her peace and just go with it was heart wrenching for the mare. Something that I had thought to never see from her for sure.

"I hate dealing with her when she gets like this..." Spike said as he looked over at Twilight and the girls. I could do little better than just nod my head in agreement and sigh.

"I just wonder how dad's doing, being in there with the Princess and all..." We both sighed and sat down next to Fluttershy, and tried to catch some more sleep.


Perspective Change: Ryan


"Ryan, why would He do such a thing as contact you...?" Celestia asked me as I reclined in a rocking chair, one that I happened to find in the far corner next to a large pile of culinary books... don ask...

"Like I said Celestia, I was having a vision, and that when it ended he had pulled me into a separate realm, He had thought that I couldn't see him at first, but I proved him wrong and had a slightly human conversation with the creature... Once he found out that I knew he had trapped me there he was more than thrilled to let me leave and report back to you... though it seems he doesn't know that Luna is but a filly now..." I scratched my chin in thought, trying to think of a way to get this fight over quickly when it happened.

"As long as you were not tampered with than I will be fine letting you leave... Ryan, I will need to look into your mind and see if he left anything..." I sat up in interest of what she was saying, cuz it ain't very often that you get asked by a immortal to let them rummage in your head. Even if I was a little nervous about what she might see, I knew it was necessary.

"Alright then, but I will be there to guide you..." She looked askance at me, not really getting that I had done something similar before.

"You've done this before?"

"Yep, but not willingly I'd say... I had to keep a dark Lord out of my head for week... Yay mental conditioning... and that's why i'm going in with you... to protect you." She blushed lightly at my hint of 'chivalry' towards her.

"I see... Well then, let us get started..." She coughed slightly and motioned me to sit down in front of her. "I will be seeing everything Ryan... Just so you know..."

"I know, and I don't care, you need to see some of the things I have to know what is coming any way... And though you have faced him before, he is different, he has become more cunning than he used to be, frighteningly so I might add. So, we might want to place wards up around ourselves just in case we need them..." She nodded slowly and blasted a few protection runes into the floor around us, sealing us in.


"Celestai... Welcome to my mind-scape, Take a look around! " We stood in a large garden at the foot of the Jedi temple on Coruscant. The sky's were filled with speeders and hover cars. The skyscrapers and other buildings littered the landscape as we looked about. My jovial tone had ripped Tia from her gaping and made her turn her attention back to me.

"Ryan... Where are we?" She asked, motioning with a hoof to all the building as and then directly to the structure in front of us.

"This, my dear Celestia, is the capital planet of the Galactic Alliance... Coruscant, it is a planet covered in one Giant city, and the building that we are in front of, and better yet, standing on, is the main Jedi Temple. Here, we have the recorded histories of over twelve thousand years of recovered documents, tomes, and data crystals from across the galaxy... though here in my head its little more than a place to story my memories." I chuckled at the thought of such a grand place being home to my perverse thoughts and other such things, though there were some pretty raunchy things in there to begin with... Oi, I'm never going to get that story out of my head...

"This place is massive Ryan, and very detailed... How can you remember and then project such things?" She asked with slight awe.

"It's not really something I can do really, I just call upon the force to sharpen the memories when I am in need of recalling them. It's quite simple if you ever want me to teach you the technique." I said, my cheeky grin making her blush slightly at the implications.
