Marriage, the ultimate form of expressing devotion. The four ponies on the alter were overjoyed because today marked the start of there new life with each other. Dark Lightning and Rainbow Dash stood on one side of the alter hoof in hoof and on the other side stood Naga and his Bride Twilight Sparkle. A joint wedding was planned due to the near time of proposal (and the fact that Dash new nothing about planing a wedding), Twilight being a good friend and workaholic had insisted on it. They now stood before Celestia as she announced to Dark and Dash, "please put the wing band on your partner."

Pegasi had a tradition of putting a golden band upon the married couple's left wings instead of the earth pony hoof or unicorn horn. Dark picked up the small golden band and put it on Dash's wing as she did his. They then presented the open ended bands on their wings to Celestia who touched her horn to each one individually fusing the metal around the appendage that was designed to make flying easy and without discomfort. And with a a joyous smile declared "you are now husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride." And that's exactly what he did.

Celestia the turned to Twilight and Naga who bowed there heads to her, she acknowledged them and bide them rise saying, "place the ceremonial band upon the others horn and receive the blessing of the alicorn's." Obviously surprised by this Naga nodded and floated the band upon Twilight's horn as she did the same for him. After this they turned to Celestia who lowered her horn and a bright flash of light emanated aground the room encompassing the pair.

When the light had faded away from Naga and Twilight they were the same, save for a pair of purple wings stretching from the mares sides. Everypony Gasped including Naga, Dash, and Dark. She looked at them confused "what?" she asked. Naga pointed a hoof at her newly formed wings the dress having redesigned itself to fit around them like Dash's. She gasped herself and flung herself onto Naga crying out in excitement. A cough from Celestia and Twilight regained her composure, "I now pronounce you husband and wife, oh you know the rest."

The party afterwards was spectacular, Dash and Dark didn't stay as they didn't want the temptation to drink with dash's pregnancy and all. Pinky Pie had pulled a turn table and DJ Pon-3 out of no where, much to the mares disapproval. She played on into the night anyway seeing as how she had missed her flight to Figi and Pinky was the only person that could possably get her there on time. As the party wore on Twilight and Naga decided to leave letting Pinky know beforehand as to not find a party bomb in there house the next morning. (Seriously she did that once.)

When they arrived home they went immediately to the bedroom for there "honeymoon", they hi the bed kissing passionately. Naga slid down to her waist and began to lick, She moaned as his tong explored every inch of her, thoroughly exiting every part of her. She was very aroused and at this point so was he. He retracted his tong and brought himself up inserting his member into her soft moist folds. She groaned as he began to thrust into her slowly gaining speed, he leaned down and began to massage her at the base of her wings causing her so scream in pleasure.

They lost themselves in the ecstasy of each other building until they came together in orgasm. They cried each others names into the air as they climaxed, Twilight was enjoying herself too much to care that he came inside her. They fell exhausted beside each other enveloping their mate in there wings and snuggling up together before drifting into the peaceful void of sleep.

The following week Twilight finished throwing up into the toilet and flushed. She proceeded to groan in discomfort, 'damn I hate this', she thought to herself. "Don't worry Iv'e got the stomach medicine" Naga said as he entered the bathroom he set the bag down on the counter and was about to take out the bottle of pink ooze when a stick caught his eye. "Twi sweetie why is there a pregnancy test on the counter?" he asked. "Oh nothing just to humor Dash I completely forgot about it when I was vomiting my guts out!" she snapped.

"Sorry, hea what does this mean?" he asked as he passed the small device to Twilight who grumpily snatched it out of his hoof. She looked at the instrument then to the box, and back, and forth. The device clattered to the floor along with the box. Naga's eyes widened at her stunned expression, "y-you'r..." she threw her hooves around his neck and she sobbed into his mane, but these were not tears of sorrow or despair they were tears of joy.

Naga rolled over in bed to face his mare, what he found was a hoof aimed directly at his face as she rolled over. *fwup* Her hoof hit the pillow as he phased through it, nearly having a heart attack simultaneously. He groaned and rose from the pillow knowing that today the six month pregnant Twilight would have yet another of her famous cravings. The other day it had been pickles and turnips, and when he got back she had thrown a book at his head demanding what took him so long, she then began to sob uncontrollably and he had comforted her, only to receive a hoof to the gut for his troubles.

She of course apologized later, recognizing the hormones affects on her after her rage had subsided. Unfortunately that had been after she magically threw half the library at him. He rose with a groan rubbing his sensitive arms where he had blocked a good portion of the books. He gently roused Twilight and asked her what she wanted for breakfast knowing it would be something ridiculous. "Pumpkins, I want a pumpkin and an orange if it's not to much to ask." she said. He rolled his eyes and chucked saying "I'm on it sweet heart."

He made his way downstairs to be knocked on his ass by Dark Lightning who burst through the door saying "Dude you gotta help me Dash is on another craving and I have no idea where to get a pumpkins and oranges!" Teleporting out from beneath the frantic pegasus he said "strange Twilight asked me for the exact same thing." Dark looked hopefully up at him and said "so you'll help me?" Naga nodded and said "yes, after coffee. Want some?" Dark nodded thankfully following Naga into the kitchen saying "yes please! Dash threw it at me the last week and I haven't had a decent cup since."

Naga laughed, "lucky, Twilight threw the washing machine at me last week." Dark looked at him confused and Naga tapped his horn with a hoof. "Derp."Dark said facehoofing. They both drank a few cups, Dark had four knowing he may not get another chance for a while, and left to see where in Equestria they could find pumpkins and oranges. "Dude cant you just magic up some?" Dark asked as they walked through the market. "Yes but Twilight can tell the difference from magic and fresh now. Don't ask me how, she never could before." Naga responded.

Not wanting to risk Dash being able to tell the difference Dark continued searching for the elusive pumpkin and orange stand. Eventually the ran across a familiar blue police box, "hea if it's not pumpkin/orange season now why don't we have the Dr. take us to a time when they are." Dark said. "Sure! But may I ask why?" a brown stallion asked from behind them. "Hello Doctor, we kind of have to get pumpkins and oranges for our mares cravings." Naga said turning around to face the brown pony wearing a trench coat. "Well than, alon-ze!"

The T.A.R.D.I.S. sprang to life at the Dr.'s hoof tips as he eccentrically ran around pulling leavers and pressing buttons in a sort of mad dance. After a few minutes the T.A.R.D.I.S. landed with the familiar *dong* and the stepped out. They were not expecting what they saw, a host of metallic things rolled around in specific formations down thee corridor they were in. One of them spotted them and in a shrill electronic voice said "T.A.R.D.I.S. DETECTED, EXTERMINATE!!!" Naga unleashed a torrent of shadows as Dark Lightning unleashed a flurry of electric spheres that detonated upon impact. There attacks were shrugged off by a shield of energy coating the metallic things.

"Fuck what do we do now!" Dark said as he dogged a hailstorm of laser blasts from the creatures. "Well I can try something but i need time, can you draw there attention?" Naga said as he wove intricate runes to deflect the blasts coming at him. "Got ya," Dark said and dashed forward flying in random patterns to scramble there targeting sensors. Naga took a deep breath and let the magic that was protecting him go and focused. A large circular rune with his cutie mark at the center appeared in front of him. He built the energy already feeling the toll on his body from the strain. "GET BACK!" Naga shouted as he released the spell. Dark made it behind the rune just before it unleashed an enormous blast of black energy annihilating all of the creatures in the hall.

The Dr. steeped out of the T.A.R.D.I.S. chewing holding a bag of sweets in his hoof. "Jelly Baby?" he asked. A few minutes later the Dr. explained that they were on an alien planet of produce and the things they had destroyed were Dalecs."What there doing here I have no idea." the time lord said. "Well lets get the produce and get OUT!" Dark said. "For once I agree with you Dark, get the food and split." the Doctor said, "you two go get the pumpkins and such I'll meet you back at the T.A.R.D.I.S. in five minutes." They all nodded and ran off in the direction that the vegetables should be according to the Doctor.

Naga used an invisibility spell and they flew to eliminate noise as Naga was not sure he could pull off another stunt like before. They dogged around three more Dalecs before coming across there prize, a cart loaded to the top with oranges and pumpkins. They grabbed two pumpkins and as many oranges as they could and hurried back to the T.A.R.D.I.S. saddle bags full. They saw the Dr. talking off a pair of Dalecs near the time machine, Naga focused and managed to pull off the attack from earlier again but with limited success, he only managed to obliterate the top half of the robot monstrosities.

They piled into the T.A.R.D.I.S and escaped the deathtrap produce market. "What exactly were you doing Dr.?" Naga asked. "Setting the planet to self destruct. The Dalecs couldn't be allowed to live and I know for a fact that they 'exterminated' every non-Dalec on the planet. It's how they work." They regarded this in silence before Dark broke the tension with, "well these better bet the best damn pumpkins and oranges ever made." Everypony laughed at this.

When they returned home they were actually a few minutes earlier than when they left, they thanked the Dr. and went to there separate homes. Naga entered the house and prepared the pumpkin and sliced up the oranges than carried them up on a tray with a glass of (non alcoholic) cider. He set the tray down and gave a sleepy Twilight the food. She looked up to him and smiled saying "thank you honey but you really didn't have to."

[trolled, please rate and review]

'Eternity is a long time to live, immortality is fine the first few times around. The fourth through sixth are maddening and nearly unbearable, but after that it turns out ok. Well so far anyway. My name is Hysteria, I am 10,000 years old and well that's it. Other than an ability to travel through dimensions, and never die I'm your normal average immortal given gifts by a fallen god. and this is my story'

The fabric of time and space ripped as the multidimensional pony stepped into Equestria, the journey had been taxing on him and the last time he had been to this dimension was thousands of years ago during the Discord war. He hadn't returned because he never saw reason to. He checked the swords at either side, still there. He muttered a small incantation in a long dead language and after a small bright light an albino phoenix landed on hi shoulder and cooed happily and nuzzled his neck.

"Hea there Felix how ya doing?" the phoenix cried a piercing screech that cut through the night like a knife. He laughed to himself and began to walk. After a while he came across a town that had a sigh saying "Welcome to Ponyville" he regarded the sign as someone might a piece of sand on the beach. He walked a ways until he heard a rhythmic beat emanating from a club nearby, curious he walked up to the club phasing through the wall so not to have to deal with the bouncer. He was met with a harmonic techno beat that made him want to get up and dance. Restraining himself the black stallion walked out to the main dance floor and spotted the source of the music, a beautiful mare at a turn table bobbing her head to the music while fiddling with the table to produce the sweet music he was hearing.

Vinal Scratch was having a boring night compared to most, the seen was always the same show up, play, music leave. Sure sometimes she had a few drinks but never much as she really just despised the hangover she would get. The night as I said was boring, that is until she spotted a strange Stallion walk out onto the floor. He had a night black coat with bat-like wings and a mane a similar color to his coat but with a blue outline. He spotted her looks and flashed his wings outward tossing his mane, she nearly missed the beat mesmerized by his physique. She caught herself and managed not to break rhythm, but she thought he notice for some reason.

After her song ended she left the stage to let the club DJ take back over, as he began to set the rythem she walked up to the stallion from before and said "Hea, you, pretty boy whats, your name?" He looked over at her and said coyly "Fragment, but please call me Frag." She chuckled at the name "Like the grenade?" he laughed at this "Yea I guess so." They laughed for a few minutes before she extended a hoof saying "Name's Vinal Scratch nice to meet you Frag." Fragment (his name is Hysteria but I'm gonna refer to him as Fragment) accepted the brohoof and said "nice job up there you can really set a beat."

She took the complement and said "yea you kinda threw me off when you did that thing with you wings." He grinned mischievously "so you like what you see?" Vinal blushed a little at this and Dark chuckled a bit "hea why dont we go for a round of drinks, my treat." She accepted his offer and they went off together and enjoyed the night. Fragment always had money for each world/dimension stashed away in his storage dimension where he had put his swords before entering the town.

They both drank more than they anticipated and as so they had to call a cab as neither could find, let alone drive, Vinal's car. As he walked her up to the house he bid her goodnight, "wait where do you live, I would love to hang out again sometime?" He rubbed the back of his head with a hoof and said "Well I'm kinda knew and don't have a place yet but I can go down the street and find a hotel."

She lightly punched him playfully nearly losing her balance as she did, "Silly buck, you'r gonna stay here tonight" He looked at her mildly confused but at the sight of her he understood. He took a gamble and kissed her on her luscious lips, she kissed back. They stumbled drunkenly up to her room and fell to the bed. Fragment kissed her wildly as he redyed himself, he took the plunge gaining an exited moan from Vinal. He worked up a rhythm as he thrust again and again. She moaned with pleasure did so did he. The alcohol had speed it up but this was what they both had wanted the whole night.

In a fit of drunken stupidity he had told her about the whole immortal thing and surprisingly she was ok with it. "Ah hell," she had said, "if I had a dollar for every immortal I've met I'd have" she hadn't finished the sentence nearly falling out of her seat. The bar keep cut them off at that time witch is why they could even walk now due to that fact. They reached climax at the same time both screaming in pleasure. Fragment withdrew and fell asleep on Vinal who was only mildly awake. She smiled down at him and use magic to move him to beside her and snuggled up behind him wrapping her arms and legs around him before giving into exhaustion herself and drifting into the world of dreams.

"I fucking HATE you Dark Lightning!" Dash screamed at the stallion holding, or more accurately being crushed by, her hoof. "You're doing amazing sweetheart." Dark said wondering how hard she could grip his hoof instantly regreting it when another contraction caused her to grip even harder. "Yea, well you are never touching me again no matter how hard you plead. I am NEVER doing this again!" Dash shouted back.

The nurse opened a door and wheeled her into a hospital room, Dash was sweating heavily from exertion when Dark lifted her from the chair and onto the bed. The nurse asked the mare currently experiencing the "joy" of child birth "if you cant handle the pain should I prepare an epidural?" The rainbow pegasus managed to become livid even in her current state "no fucking way! I can do this all on my own!" Dark flinched at this knowing that she would later regret the decision despite her current determination.

The doctor (not the time the medical one) and wheeled a chair over to the end of the bed and lifted the sheet. "Nurse why did you call me in here this patient has quite a few hours to go before I'm needed." Dash lost all color in her face but stayed silent, Dark could swear he heard the bones in his hoof crack.

Across the town in the library the Dr. and Naga were having a conversation as Twilight showered, recently her hormones had made her obsessed with cleanliness witch was very unlike her. Spike would have been happy if he hadn't moved out moths ago saying "good luck Naga she's hard enough to deal with when she isn't driven mad by hormones." Naga was beginning to wonder if the little dragon had the right idea.

They were talking about the outcome of the time war when the door to the shower slamed open and Twilight shouted "It's coming!" he looked at her wide eyed and scared half to death. "Are you sure?" he asked shakily. "Pretty damn sure!" Twilight shouted back putting a hoof to her stomach and leaning against the wall. He looked over to where tha Dr. had been sitting and found nothing but the afterimage of the T.A.R.D.I.S and the usual whir it gave off. "Fuck you" he said even though he knew nopony but him could hear it.

Naga ran around in a panic searching for the overnight bags they had packed a few months prior at the request of the hormone driven mare. He remembered that they were by the door and facehoofed before running to the phone and dialing 911 and asking for an ambulance. As he did so Twilight made he way downstairs and sat on the couch holding her enlarged stomach

After what seemed to them both like an eternity The ambulance arrived and Naga levitated Twilight and the bags into the Vehicle after witch he climbed in and urged the medical pony to "step on it," he did. After stabilizing her from some extremely sharp turns Naga asked if he could drive fast without being a maniac to witch the driver asked him if he would like to drive witch shut him up. I mean who learns to drive when you have wings and magic?

They arrived at the hospital very quickly and they were escorted inside the hospital by two nurses one of witch had a wheel chair. They rushed them to a room, on the way Naga saw Dark wincing in pain as Dash crushed his hoof panting as contractions went over her. He heard her reject an epidural and Naga felt a wave of pity for the poor stallion only to be replaced by his own pain as Twilight grabbed his hoof and put a death grip on it. Fortunatly Twilight accepted the offer of an epidural knowing full well that she did NOT want to go through the same experience she heard Dash going through in the other room.

Countless hours later Dark felt his arm going numb as Dash pushed one final time and the Dr. came up from beneath the blanket with a crying bloody bundle of life, "congratulations, it is a girl!" the German doctor said before handing the foal over to a nurse who cleaned off the child and wrapped her in a blanket before handing the pink bundle over to Dash. Dark got the first real look at the foal not covered in blood. She was a deep blue with red eyes and a rainbow mane, he loved her on sight. "What should we name her?" Dash asked breathlessly."How about," Dark started before looking into Dash's eyes and saying in unison "Spectrum."

Naga stood there gazing at his son, "I name you Silver Sky," Twilight said looking down at the sleeping foal in her arms. Naga smiled at the name and looked at him again after kissing twilight on the tip of her horn. He was jet black, even darker than his father, with a silver and red mane and dark eyes that were now shut tightly exhausted from becoming real, and not just a bump on his mother. Naga smiled as Twilight nuzzled the foal and held him close as she faded into sleep.

Careful not to wake her Naga lifted the small foal from her and began to walk out to go see if her could find Dark and judging by the lack of screams his new born foal. He trotted slowly cradling the foal in one arm careful not to drop or jostle the little thing like it was a glass of nitroglycerin. He found Dark sitting outside the room where he had seen him earlier. He walked up and peered down at the pink blanket containing a small sleeping filly. "Hea Dark," Naga said breaking him from the trance the small wonder had on him.

"Say hello to Silver Sky," Naga finished leaning the bundle so that Dark could see. "And you say hello to little Spectrum," Dark Lightning said with a smile. They both stood there for a while before returning to the rooms holding their mares and joined them in there beds and in sleep all of them dreaming of all their lives had to offer now. Luna stared at the piece of paper in her hooves that Naga had sent using a spell he had learned to send scrolls without a dragon. She screamed so loud that Celestia jumped so high she put a hole in the ceiling with her horn.

The celestial goddess looked at her sister as she burst into the room wondering what in all of Equestria had excited her so. "I'm a grandmother!" she shouted to her sister showing her a picture of the foal with some words written at the bottom, Celestia screamed even louder than her sister.

The day came when it was time to take the foals home, Naga was so protective of Silver that he freaking bought a tank to take him home. Twilight made no objections she being even more protective than him. They made there way into the house and set him down on the couch. The tiny creature looked around curiously and giggled at his parents making there hearts melt from joy and love. Silver Sky was enveloped by a black aura and vanished, reappearing near a book shelf witch he proceeded to pull a book from and chew.Twilight was at his side in seconds gently taking the book from the foal and picking him up and nusling him saying "books are for reading not eating."

The foal looked up at her and reached towards her and cooed. "Daw," the doctor said from behind them. They turned from where they were and looked at him surprised. "What I live here to? Oh wait this must be when I ask, my bad." Naga rolled his eyes and waved the Dr. over to them. "Meet Silver Sky," Naga said proudly. The doctor looked the foal in the eyes and the baby turned his head sideways and gurgled.

Even living for a thousand years you cant help but 'Daw' at that little face. After recovering from the shear cutness the Dr. pulled out a sonic screwdriver that was slightly different from his and gave it to Silver who decided tp stick it in his mouth. "There now he has his own." the Dr. said smiling. Twilight looked at him scepticly "is it safe for him to put in his mouth?" The Dr. smiled saying "of course, I baby proofed it." Twilight rolled her eyes and pulled the device from Silver's mouth. He cooed and gurgled and the Dr. said "he says he's hungry... What? I speak baby."

Twilight shooed them off and began preparing the bottle for Silver Sky, the foal fiddled with the sonic device ocasionaly managing to work it ususaly ending in something sparking or turning on. Once he even unlocked the cabinate under the sink where the cleening chemicals were stored. Twilight had the Dr. turn the thing off so thet little Silver couldn't get to the dangerous chemicals accidentaly effectively making it a fancy passifier. She pulled the bottle out of the microwave and began to feed the foal who happily drank down the liquid. She handed him over to Naga and went to take a shower and a nap being tired still from the other day.

Naga sat on the couch with the Dr. and watched the little fellow drink his eyes closed happily sucking away at the bottle. "Look at me Dr. I never thought that this would be my life but here I am and happy as can be." The wise old man with the face of a young one nodded and smiled at his friend "it's alwase what we dont expect that make's us the happiest. They sat there untill Silver finished the bottle and looked up at Naga, "hungry werent you?" Naga said to the foal. Silver responded by burping and cooing at him, hapily waving his hooves up at his father. He set Silver on the floor and let the foal explore the suroundings.

First he went over to the coffee table and looked at it then bored crawled to a pile of books and looked at a picture of Twilight, Naga and there friends. He cooed happily recognizing his parents, he then crawled over to a semingly empty space and staired intently at it. The Dr. pointed his sonic at the space and the T.A.R.D.I.S. uncloaked itself and the Foal pushed on the door and it swung inward. Both the Dr. and Naga stared at the sight, then to each other and back to Silver Sky who was crawling into the time machine. "I think she likes him." the Dr. said. Naga nodded stupefied knowing well that the T.A.R.D.I.S. had a mind of its own.

They followed the foal into the ancient blue box and found him giggling happily at the controls before rolling off the panel and stooping before he hit the floor a small anti-gravity field enveloping him as his father caught him. He breathed a sigh of relief and set the bubbling foal outside in the library and exiting himself a few second later. "Don't tell Twilight," Naga said looking his friend in the eye. "Do I look suicidal to you?" the time pony said seriously. The foal cooed and giggled at the two, "gpah gull gudsh shuba" the little foal said with determination. "You got that right," the Dr. said and Naga rolled his eyes. "What? I told you I speak baby."

Dash allowed herself to be wheeled into the cloud home, she was still sore from giving birth and she had no problem being served on after that. "Welcome home Spectrum," Dark said after entering the home holding the dreamy looking foal in his arms. He wheeled Dash over to the couch and after closing the door he sat down and put the foal on the ground. She looked at her parents expectantly and promptly tryed to stand but fell, she decided to crawl and began to make her way around the room. She began to become bored and decided she was hungry, she sat down and began to cry. "Oh my gosh what do I do!?!" Dark said shooting up and flying around the room panicked. Dash rolled her eyes "I think she's hungry."

"....Oh," Dark said. he picked up the small creature and took out some formula and mixed it up. He put it in the bottle and tried to feed her but she spat it out and began to cry again. "Now what?" he said. "Did you heat it up?" Dash said annoyed. "....Oh." After calming the foal down he burped her and set her down in the crib they had received as a gift from Pinky pie during the baby shower. Spectrum fell asleep in seconds and was dreaming happily, "we are so lucky." Dash said. "Yes," Dark agreed "yes we are."

Twilight woke up to a shrill piercing cry, "Naga it's your turn." She said turning over in the bed and covering her ears with a pillow. Naga groaned and pulled himself out of bed, he looked to the dark sky and scowled at his mothers moon. "I wish you had told me what having a foal was like before I had one mother." He stumbled down the hall sleepily and made his way into Silver Sky's room. He picked the crying foal up and held him whispering in a soothing voice "Shh it's ok.. Daddy's here."

The foal silenced himself and looked up at him teary eyed cooing shakily. Naga held him close and rocked him walking from the room and heading downstairs. He warmed up a bottle and fed him bouncing the little foal to sooth him. Silver finished the bottle and Naga burped him as he took him back upstairs. But as he put the child into the crib he began to whine, before he could cry and wake up Twilight he picked him up and took him to the room he and she shared. He crawled into bed and snuggled up against Twilight putting Sky between them and covering them with a wing. Twilight happily rolled over in bed and snuggled up with her boys and they all drifted into sleep.

Naga woke up to A giggling foal sitting a few inches from his face gurgling and babbling in a language known only to foals. He groaned and sat up in bed tired, he looked to his left and found Twilight somehow still asleep in bed. Grinning evilly he set Silver at the foot of the bed and sat facing his wife. He concentrated and magically conjured up a pile of whipped cream in Twilight's hoof, leaning over he tickled her nose with the tip of his wing causing her to unknowingly bring the hoof-full of whipped cream and splattering it on her face.

At this she opened her eyes to find her vision blocked by white cream. Naga and Silver Sky were laughing hysterically, well Naga was and Silver was laughing because his father was. Twilight frowned at her lover and magically cleared her face saying "So you want to play huh?" She lunged forward and tackled Naga and began to tickle him "Hoo! Haa, p-p-lease st-top haha" he managed to squeal out between laughs and breaths. Twilight relented and leaned down and kissed him, he returned the kiss and began to slide his hooves up her flank but she pushed him away. "Not in front of the baby!" she said blushing, "Aw come on he probably thinks were just hurting each other." Naga joked.

Twilight gave him a stare that made him feel as though his heart had stooped, "Just kidding!" He added hastily before turning to the still giggling foal and picking him up bringing him up to them. Twilight took him and blew into his belly playfully getting a roar of giggles and squirming from the foal. Naga looked and smiled at the display of motherliness his mare displayed 'she really is perfect' he thought to himself. The moment was inturupted by the front door opening as Spike walked in (now living at Rarity's) and shouted "ready for work!"

Naga rolled his eyes and he and Twilight got out of bed putting Sky on his fathers back and walking downstairs. "Morning Spike." Twilight called as she magicly pulled out a few books and set them on a table nearby, "Hello Twilight, Naga." Spike called. Naga took Sky to the play pen (magic proofed and with a celing as to prevent escape) and set the foal inside. "Hi spike," Naga said "hea Twi I'm going to make some breakfast for us and Sky ok?" "Sure" she responded without looking up, "hea spike do you want annything?" Naga asked walking into the kitchen. "No thanks i had some gems at Rarity's before comming over" the small dragon responded.

Naga warmed another bottle of formula and fixed two bowls of hay for himself and Twilight, he gave Twilight her bowl and ate his as he fed Silver Sky. Spike was cleaning when Naga finished feeding and burping Silver and announced, "I'm going to go shopping and I think I'll take Silver with me." Twilight looked up from her book and smiled "ok but be home before his nap-time, it's on the list." Naga promised,unnecessarily because he had learned at this point that if he broke the list that he would be sleeping on the couch for weeks to come. Unfortunately by experience.

He put on a baby saddle and slipped the squirming foal into the harness and walked out the door. In the market he was looking at a few oranges when he heard a voice that he thought he would never hear again, "-ove you to Vinal." He turned and saw emerging from the store across the street a familiar black with black and blue maned accompanied by silver eyes a stallion he knew. "Uncle Fragment?" he called to the pegasus across the street, Fragment turned away from the blue mare and starred at Naga stupefied as he was.

"Nephew? I thought you were dead?" Fragment said as he walked over to his long lost relative. Naga smiled coyly at his uncle "well you know I AM related to you. Death is merely an inconvenience to us, and I see you found somepony to share your... intimate moments with." Fragment rolled his eyes at this and prepared a comeback but was interpreted by giggling. Looking to Naga's right flank he spotted a small foal with a jet black coat strapped to is side. "Whaaaa?" Fragment said his jaw hitting the ground, "oh hea Naga I remember you I DJ'ed at your wedding reception."

Fragment looked to Vinal scratch in disbelief "you know my second nephew? Wedding reception? Is that foal.... oh my gods." Fragment said his brain nearly literally imploding. Naga laughed hysterically which enticed more laughter from the excited foal at his side. Regaining his composure Naga spoke "yeup me and Twilight Sparkle got married and soon enough along came this one." he finished rubbing Silver Sky's head. "I really need to keep up with these sort of things." Fragment said as Naga retold the story of how he and Twilight came to be.

At the end Fragment was less confused but still in disbelief that his supposedly dead nephew was alive, married, and father to a child. They decided to walk back to the Library and get Twilight so they could go on a double date for lunch. Twilight was ecstatic to meet the famous hero of the discordian war, despite the fact that it was impossible for him to be here she was overjoyed to meet him. Actually ever since the Dr. showed up she had thrown logic and reason out the window. She left the library under the care of the scatterbrained time lord and her #1 assistant and they all enjoyed a nice meal and talked of the times that they had experienced.

They parted later and Naga and Twilight returned to the library to find Silver Sky asleep and Spike and the Dr in the play pen asleep as well. The shared a laugh and put Silver into his crib before turning in for the night themselves. Only to be woken by crying a few minutes later, "It's your turn." Naga said.

*flashback* (a few months prior when Naga was on a diplomatic meeting with his mother) Naga found himself flying through a window with his newly meet "uncle" Fragment. After trying unsuccessfully to kill him on the assumption he was hostile given his entry the assumption was not unrealistic. Now attempting to escape the wrath of his aunt Celestia that his uncle had brought upon them he wondered if perhaps he would have been better off if he had succeeded.

Gaining control of the situation Naga proceeded to envelope them in his power and teleported them to the bottom of the castle. Fragment looked at his nephew and laughed at the sight of the black alicorn having directly appeared underneath a garbage shoot and was now coated in a pile of rotten fruit. Naga scowled and incinerated all traces of the matter from himself and walked up to his newly found relative. "So why exactly am I following you?" he asked miffed.

"I duknow maby to avoid the piano that will hit you in 5 seconds if you don't move?" the stallion said grinning a troll face at him. Naga was burried under a white piano that had been thrown out after them by his aunt in hopes of at least getting some form of revenge for putting her to sleep and breaking into her vault. "Yes!" the alicorn princess shouted at the top of her lugs leaning out the window. Shadowy smoke rose from the wreckage of the musical device and formed itself into Naga who said. "OK i guess that would be my reason if i had to worry about that stuff."

Fragment regarded his nephew with new-found interest saying "So what do we do next? ooh I know lets go see if we can get into a fight around here. Know any bars?" Naga looked surprisingly happy at the mention of violence "Oh yea I know of one but just to make sure we are related cause some of the shit were about to drink would be lethal to a mortal." Fragment nodded with vigor knowing that after what that pink mare had given him nothing could even come close to being strong alcohol. Or so he thought. Naga took him to a remote bar and they sat down at the counter, while materializing a red duster and guitar case with his magic.

After a curious glance from Fragment Naga smiled coyly and said you'll see. The barkeep came up to Fragment and placed a glass of liquid in front of him at Naga's request. He picked it up and downed the liquid and instantly regretting it as he felt like liquid lava had just entered him through his mouth. Ce coughed violently as Naga laughed saying "invented by the colt version of Pinky Pie from another dimension, I take it from your confidence that you tried her brand of liqure." Fragment scowled at his nephew as his vision blurred and he lost his balance from his body attempting to identify the foreign liquid he just ingested.

The bar keep looked over to Naga expression unchanged and asked him "What'l you have?" He looked at him a slight smile on his face "A strawberry sundae please." the keep looked at him annoyed "Don't serve kid stuff like that here." Naga continued to smile and proceeded to draw twin pistols from his jacket and fire rounds into several ponies heads who had proceeded to gather behind them. Fragment watched in horror as they fell to the floor and Naga calmly picked up the guitar case and slung it over his shoulder. Catching the look from his uncle he held up a hoof saying "Wait for it."

Suddenly the bodies of the ponies contorted and leaped forward morphing into demonic figures that Naga tore to shreds with continuous fire from the pistols then hacked the rest to bits with an over-sized sword that had been hidden in the guitar case. He ended the frenzy by sheathing the pistol he still had out the other sheathed earlier to make room for the sword and twisting the sword with a flick of his wrist coating the walls in blood. A moth landed on the door to the outside and Naga threw the sword slicing it in half impaling the sword in the door.

Fragment followed Naga out of the demon infested bar to find the barkeep's body stuck on the end of the sword Naga had thrown at the moth. He watched from the top of the staircase that led down to the underground bar as Nag retrieve the sword and put it back into the guitar case slinging it at proceeding up the stairs. As he did the body of the bar pony twisted and launched a demon at him as he spun around guns drawn "next time, put strawberry sundaes on the menu

The morning light reached the ancient travelers eyes, he had run so fast and so far he hadn't known anything but the running. All that had changed when he was reunited with an old friend and met several new. Naga and Twilight had invited him to live in their house in the basement in exchange for occasional foal sitting, something he loved/feared/loved/ to do. He was going on five times that Silver Sky had managed to nearly collapse all of time and space. And every time he came back he was stopped short of telling Twilight and Naga to find a new foal-sitter the little guy pulled a cute stunt like chewing on a control in the T.A.R.D.I.S. or smiling in such a manner that even a Dalec would "Daww".

He brushed the dust from his coat and picked the cooing foal from the exploded hunk of metal that used to be a cyber pony and entered the blue box of wonders he traveled in for so long. "So much for the world of chew-able objects" the brown stallion said to the burbling child. "Gahh gub bahh" Silver said taking the sonic screwdriver the Dr. had given him when he first came home from the hospital out of his mouth. "My thoughts exactly," the time pony responded flipping a switch and sending them through time vortex back to home.

They landed with a resonating "Dong!" and he took the foal out the double doors and into the tree that they both called home. Or at least one did Silver just babbled and gurgled in a "language" only the Dr. could speak and insisted was real. They made their way to the kitchen where the lord of time prepared a bottle of formula and feed the foal who greedily drank as soon as the bottle was offered to him. The Doctor walked into the next room cradling the foal in one arm feeding him with the other walking on two legs having originally been a humanoid creature before arriving in this dimension accidentally. That was one of the best days of his life.

A tired (not from sleep) pair of alicorns descended the staircase into the main living area of the library, the blushed when the Dr. laughed but perked up at the sound of Sky giggling with his sitter. Twilight took over feeding Silver and Naga and the Dr. took a seat on the couch and flipped on the news. "Today we are proud to present an announcement from the princess herself to commemorate this hearths-warming day..." Naga turned the volume down and produced a small box from behind his back "Happy hearths-warming Dr." he handed the box to the earth pony next to him. "And you too" he said giving Naga a gift in turn. "What about you and Twilight?" the Dr. asked curiously. "Oh," Naga said grinning evilly, "we just finished exchanging gifts." The time lord shut up and unwrapped the gift, inside a small device shimmered and floated out of the box. It expanded and formed itself into a small spider-like robot that landed on his shoulder and scurried up to his head beeping and whirring. "Little device i invented, it has a multitude of applications and uses but mainly I designed it to do maintenance on the T.A.R.D.I.S. so you don't have to constantly be fiddling with all those cables." Naga said proudly. "Neat, thanks." the Dr. said looking up with a smile at the little device "Now open yours." he said. Naga obliged and opened his box to find a clear sphere containing a miniature black hole. "Wow how did you do this?" Naga asked fascinated. "I isolated the... um.... I captured it in a sphere of indestructible.... glass..... stuff?" Naga nodded and continued to stair at the fascinating object in his hooves.

Twilight entered the room and sat down next to Naga Silver in her lap having just finished burping him, "Sweetheart don't forget we have to visit my parents today." she said putting her head on his shoulder. He swore under his breath "Damn, I hate visiting your parents every time we do I feel like your dad is going to blow my head off the first chance he gets." Twilight looked at him sympatheticly "Well you did take his daughter from him, and then fuck her. And get her pregnant so in his mind you perverted me." she leaned in close "But little does he know that happened long before I met you."

Dread set in as Naga boarded the train to Canterlot, "Twilight are you sure I have to go?" She looked at him and rolled her eyes. "What do you think they would think of you if you didn't come to the family gathering? It would only give them more reason to mistrust you." Naga sighed at this "Ok, well it was nice having known you sweetheart." Silver looked up at Naga and burbled something unrecognizable and reached for his daddy from the stroller Twilight was pushing. Smiling he plucked the foal from the carriage and held him in one arm. "Ugh," Twilight said "he never uses this thing." she said folding the carriage and slipping it into her saddle bag, a gift from the Dr. that had similar design to the interior to the T.A.R.D.I.S. being bigger on the inside, and glaring a the pair of stallions before smiling at them as Silver cooed and reached for Twilight. She obliged and levitated the foal over to herself and held him close.

They found an empty car and took a seat next to each other Silver Sky falling asleep in their laps. They eventually moved to a sleeping car being tired from caring for the needy foal. They soon fell into a peaceful sleep and remained that way until they were awoken by the conductor letting them know they had arrived in Canterlot. They made their way down the streets to a familiar house that housed Twilight as a foal. She knocked on the door and was greeted by her mother beckoning them into the house. Upon entering the domicile the were greeted with the overwhelming smell of baking goods. All of Twilight's relatives greeted her and embraced her and her foal pointedly avoiding Naga. Twilight had been the source of family pride for many years and to them Naga had defiled her and made her less of a figure to be proud of despite the fact that she was now heir to the throne. Actually most had assumed that Celestia would eventually make her princess and now that Naga, a blood heir, had come into light the only way she ever could have become royalty was by marrying him. And after their wedding controversial had spread like a wildfire.

Naga went to a corner of the room and pored himself a glass of punch, he drank leisurely as
twilight mingled. Eventual a familiar face approached him and he set his drink down becoming somehow even more serious than before, "Mister Sparkle." Naga said as his father-in-law approached him. "So Naga you decided to come." the stallion said without emotion, "and what do you think made it clear that you were welcome?" Naga sighed and looked away. "Look at me when I'm talking to you!" Mr. Sparkle said harshly turning him around and slamming him into the wall silencing everypony in the room. A few stallions approached Mr. Sparkle and stood beside him. Naga offered no resistance or change in expression even when the furious stallion increased the pressure on him pressing him into the wall harder. "Say something for yourself you coward, what? Am I not worthy of your royal attention?" The bucks beside him began to slam their hooves into Naga's gut driving the wind from him. Still he remained silent.

Furious Night Light, aka Mr. Sparkle, moved the stallions aside and viciously slammed his hoof into Naga's face then gut and finally forehoofing him across the temple. Twilight stepped forward mane blazing a deep red coat a sterling white, "Leave. Him. Alone." Her father stood his back to her and said "Stay out of this, he defiled you and your name and now he has to pay." Naga reacted to this, "No, I expressed my love for your daughter and she returned it if you want me dead then do it but leave her alone." Enraged Night slammed his hoof so hard into Naga's gut that he coughed up blood. "Mommy! Daddy!" Silver's voice echoed throughout the room. The foal was in the arms of Twilight's mother holding hid arms out tears streaming down his tiny face. Twilight's face fell and the flame vanished as the color drained from Mr. Sparkle's face and his magic imploded dropping Naga to the floor where he smiled tears welling up in his eyes. Both Naga and Twilight went to their foal and comforted him holding him close and rejoicing in his first words.

Mr. Sparkle said nothing to the couple for the longest time before finally apologizing for his behavior, "I let my ambitions come before family it.... it was unforgivable I-I know that you must hate me but..... all I ask is to be allowed to be there for my grandson." Naga regarded this solemnly, "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. You are forgiven but you will have to earn the right of my and Twilight's trust. And as for Silver, you may be there for him as long as no prejudice ever influences you around him again." Night Light thanked him and they enjoyed the rest of the night, mainly showing off Silver Sky to the relatives as all new parents do.

Eventually the night came to a close and Twilight's mother insisted they use the guest bedroom instead of renting a hotel and now that the bad blood between himself and her father was cleared up he had no objections. They slept the night away blissfully with the reason for their continued existence snuggled up between them as they slept, cooing quietly in his sleep.

Naga and Twilight awoke the morning after the exhausting party in witch Naga was beat severely and then they all got wasted. Save Naga who had an allergy to alcohol. They made there way downstairs hoping to make it out before Twilight's mother invited them to stay for breakfast. "Oh Twilight, Naga your just in time for breakfast!" The sound of the mares voice ran chills through their spines. Naga fell forward and landed on his face. Silver chose this time to start crying for food. "Sometimes i swear you do this on purpose Silver." Twilight said as she went to feed the hungry foal.

They marched into the kitchen where a hungover Light was sitting at the table head in hooves looked up at Naga and sat up in shock. "Shit how are you still walking! There isn't even a bruise on you!" He said then held his head regretting it instantly. Naga laughed and looked at him, "I'm a lot tougher than you think. You'r lucky I restrained myself last night or you might not me here." The color drained from Lights face and went back to holding his head in his hooves. Twilight proceeded to take a spot in the far side of the room and feed Silver who drank happily from his mother. Naga helped Miss Sparkle prepare breakfast and served the fresh bread with butter after it was finished.

After a lengthy goodbye the pair departed and began their trek to the train station. They took a shortcut through a sketchy part of town in order to save time. "Gah my mom and her insentient rambling we'll never get to the train on time!" Naga looked over at his mare concerned "Maybe keep it down I don't want to attract attention in this kind of neighborhood." She looked at him with poison in her eyes but kept quiet.

They made it a few blocks before a group of stallions walked up to them. "So pretty lady how about you come with us?" The largest one said, a pegasus with a spiked mane. "Ugh no thanks." Twilight said looking at him with disgust and drawing closer to Naga holding Silver tighter. "Well we tried being nice, boys grab her." at this three of the bucks from the groop stepped forward only to be met by a furious Naga. "One more step and you..." he was inturupted as a pice of rebar impaled itself in him. Looking at his attacker the blew him back with a telekinetic blast but was intantly met by several more makeshift weapons embedding themselves in his soft flesh.

He watched in horror as the lead Stallion stepped forward a perverted grin on his face as Twilight was surrounded by the other members of the gang. She screamed and backpedaled as a unicorn in the midst of the lot dampened her magic and they began to crowd her. Fury raged like a river through Naga overwhelming his senses and empowering him with a new found strength. "YOU COWARDLY BASTARDS" He shouted as a dark cloud encompassed him. Shadows lept from him impaling every member of the street gand save the leader who he proceeded to walk up to rebar phasing through him. Naga had grown slightly and his coat was now a jet black, his eyes a blood red and his hair blue and white. "YOUR TIME HAS COME. THIS IS THE DAY YOU DIE." he said without compassion pure hatred pouring out through every pore in his body. The pegasus looked at him horrified and tried to run but was met with a bullet to the back of the skull from a gun Naga had materialized. Naga dropped the aura and returned to normal size but the change in appearance was still present. "N-Naga?" A scared Twilight asked. "Yes sweetheart it's me. But I think we need to visit my mother, she has a few questions to answer."

A few hours later they arrived at the castle where they were greeted with suspicion but let past under direct orders from Luna who had been waiting for them. She led them into a well furnished room where the room was filled with books all related in some way to astronomy. Luna sat in a chair and Naga and Twilight took a couch opposite her. "I was hoping it wouldn't come to this but it has and we must talk. Naga I know you must be unnerved but please bear with me, this has to do with your father." She looked at something distant and continued, "he was not a normal pony. In fact he wasn't even a proper pony at all. He was a demon. He fought for us during the discord war and inevitably gave his life to save us. After you were born we went into hiding and stayed so until we thought it was safe and emerged to take leadership of this world. Soon after you were captured by agents of Discord and well you know the rest. Now it would seem that your demon side has taken hold and surfaced, this explaining your change in appearance." She said with an air of conclusion.

Naga took a few moments to process this then looked to Twilight sorrowfully "Does this change your feelings for me at all?" he asked. She looked at him compassionately and shook her head no. He returned his gaze with his mother and said "Then as long as that's all then this does not affect me. I understand you keeping this secret until now but in the future please be more open with me mom, ok?" Luna looked at him teary eyed "You remind me of him so much, yes son I will tell you all you need to know all you need do is ask." Naga thanked his mother and set out to the train station intent on a long rest, pizza, and a strawberry sundae

The cold was unbearable, the frost cut at the skin like razor blades and the wind was like a viscous beast attempting to devour him. The ice blue stallion who for his entire life had suffered under the cruel hand of fate waded through the snowstorm of his own unintentional devise. He rarely had control over his magic these days making him effectively an isolationist, alone and cold he wandered the Everfree his current home. Black spots swam before his eyes, he looked back at the red stained snow where his blood was leaking from the gash in his side. His encounter with a herd of mantacore was less than plesant and one had managed to land a fatal blow on his left side.

He didn't even bother freezing the wound knowing ti would only prolong the inevitable, he was dying and he couldn't care less. What was there in life for him maybe in death he could find his long sought peace, maybe. He collapsed to one knee and fell to the side. A blue mound in a red puddle surrounded by pure white. As the final moments drew close he let out a breath he didn't realize he had been holding. Darkness pressed around him overtaking his vision, A shadow formed in front of him and he heard before he lost all feeling "No, not today." The darkness consumed him.

Warmth spread through every limb in his body, a pleasant warmth one of peace and..... wool? His eyes shot open to a face of white and red. Sitting up he looked down at his chest to find a small foal nestled up on his chest. Disturbed by the movement the foal opened his eyes and stared at Cerulean with curious eyes. "Gabba?" the foal asked tilting his head to the side. Cerulean panicked as he felt his magic start to grow in the all to familiar way, he was about to loose control and this foal would be caught in the blast of ice. Closing his eyes he waited for the burst of cold but instead he found a strange feeling coming from his horn.

As he reached up a hoof the dark shape from before materialized at the side of the couch he noticed now he was positioned on. He retreated back grabbing the foal and holding him close to protect him from the odd thing forming but he found that the foal actually wanted to go toward the shape. Releasing the foal it spread its wings, wait it had a horn and wings? An alicorn foal? The shape formed into a black coated alicorn with a white and blue mane. The foal fell just short of the stallion but was caught by a swift wing and brought to his face. The alicorn nuzzled the foal and set him on the floor where he proceeded to suck on his hoof determinedly. "Oh your awake, how do you feel?" the alicorn asked in a voice that he recognized from before. "Who are you!?!" Cerulean demanded leaping to his hooves suspicious of the new face.

The alicorn reacted calmly saying "My name is Naga and please don't move to much you nearly died last night." Cerulean took in the information and calmed himself then said, "Sorry for the outburst my name is Cerulean Snowgleam, how pray tell did you find me? and how is it that I haven't involuntarily turned this house into an ice sculpture exhibit?" Naga looked at him with a smile, "To answer the second question my wife Twilight Sparkle designed the spell currently inhibiting your magical arability's for Silver Sky here." he said motioning to the foal on the floor who proceeded to turn the coffee into a gummy bear and clapped happily . Naga returned the table to its original for and proceeded to place the spell in question on the small foals horn. Turning back to Cerulean he said "You can see why. But any way when we found you, you had nearly frozen yourself to death and I cast the spell to keep you from harming yourself any further. And it was kind of unpleasant." He said rubbing the back of his head and averting his red eyes awkwardly.

Cerulean reassured Naga by placing a hoof on his shoulder, "No reason to be ashamed I'm actually glad you did it I haven't had control over my power since... since....." he looked down sadly recalling the events that led him to his current situation. Naga looked at him and said "No worries you don't have to tell me or anypony anything just put the past in the past and look forward." Cerulean tried to smile but it came out as more of a grimace. just then they were interrupted by a blinding flash of red light and standing before them was a mare light blue but a shade darker than Cerulean and with an straight yellow and red mane, she was only a unicorn but it was a welcome normality in to him. "I take it that you are Twilight?" Cerulean asked. "Eup," the mare said happily. "Then allow me to introduce myself my name is Cerulean, I was having a conversation with your husband here when..." he was interrupted by a the mare bursting into a fit of laughter and falling to the ground followed closely by Naga and eventually Silver, who, just laughed because everypony was being funny.

Cerulian stood still a confused look on his face until the mare picked herself up and said, "Oh no no no no no. You must be thinking of my twin sister Twilight Sparkle I'm Twilight Flare." Just as the realization hit A less theatrical flash of purple announced the arrival of a new alicorn who, by process of elimination, had to be Twilight Sparkle. "What is with all the noise!" the lavender mare asked annoyed. "Sorry sweetheart," Naga said "Just a funny misunderstanding is all." She looked at him skeptically but shrugged and kissed him on the cheek and went to Silver and picked him up. "Well you are certainly looking better than last night." Twilight Sparkle said. "I feel much better," Cerulean said "I don't want to be a nuisance so I'll be on my way." Flare looked at him and rolled her eyes "Oh no you don't you nearly died and if i hadn't had found you you would have died, you are going nowhere. By the way is there anypony we should contact to let them know?" Cerulian looked downcast, "No nopony." Looking sympathetic she said "Any pets or house you need seen to?" "No, I'm.... not housed currently." he replied.

A determined look came across her face, "Well that settles it. Twi can Cerulean live here for a bit?" She asked. "Sure, but he'll have to bunk with the Doctor." Flare smiled like she had just won the lottery. "Thanks sis, that ok with you dude?" she said turning to him a stunned look on his face. "T-thank you." he said. "Now come on lets go shopping, cant have a room without stuff." Flare said dragging him out the door as Naga waved goodbye. And Cerulean could have sworn he saw him wink.

---

And to those to whom this apply's SURPRISE!!!

Flare nearly took off Cerulean arm dragging him to the shopping district. By the time they got there Cerulean looked more like a mound of dirt than a pony. "Oh gosh, I'm so sorry are you ok?" she asked picking him up and dusting him off. Dazed he nodded and shook his head loosing clumps of dirt and grass. "I've been through worse." he said with a sly smile. Suddenly an idea popped into Twilight's head, "Oh I know lets take you to the spa for a bath and grooming!" and with that they were off Cerulean this time managing to keep his footing as to not be dragged.

The mares at the front desk imediantly took Cerulean back to be cleaned upon seeing him coated in blood, dirt, and various other things that had been lying on the ground that Twilight Flare had dragged him through or over. They instantly set to work scrubbing and busing until they at last felt satisfied and Cerulean felt like he had been scrubbed with sandpaper. He sat down in a sauna and let out a deep sigh. Even though his body could withstand extreme cold he still loved to relax with heat now and again. He must dosed off for a few minutes because when he opened his eyes Flare was sitting on the bench beside him. Her eyes closed enjoying the sauna as he had she lay back he head against the wood a smile shadowing her face.

He looked at her, a small layer of perspiration glistening off in the low light given off by the coals in the center. He looked over her body thighs melding perfectly with her flank, well toned muscle covering her making her gentle curves even more attractive. Her head rolled over to the side and she opened her eyes sleepily at Cerulean and she said, "Like what you see?" He withdrew at this statement and turned away his horn beginning to glow as the spell containing his magic kicked in. Flare sat up and looked over to him "What's wrong? I'm sorry I didn't mean.." he looked down shamefully "It's not you. It's me, I-I just.. A few years ago I was learning at the royal magical academy for talented unicorns. I loved it there until a mare named Bangles forced me to have sex with her. She was the headmasters daughter so there was nothing I could do about it, a few days later she claimed that I had raped her and there was a big trial but the charges were dropped. Still I was expelled and everypony in Canterlot thought I was a rapist. I've been on my own ever since."

Flare looked at Cerulean and placed a hoof on his shoulder and gently turned him around, "You'r not alone anymore. What she did to you and continues to do to you is unforgivable but you have friends now. And I wont let anypony hurt you nor will I. You see I knew who you were when we found you in the Everfree forest, you probably don't remember me but I was your first period in collage. I always had a crush on you but never could work up the courage to say hi. When you were kicked out I did everything I could to help you but you were already gone. I never forgot you nor have my feelings receded. I-I know it was foolish of me but when we found you I had hoped that we could.... be......" She broke down into tears and this time it was Cerulean's turn to comfort, but he didn't know how. Everything was coming to him in a rush of memories, a shy girl in the back of class with a few awkward encounters in the hall. And something else. Feelings long buried under grief and suffering, feelings that had made him sick to his stomach but happy at the same time. This mare who's name he only caught a few times... Flare.... his secret crush.... his savior and friend who now had admitted feelings of love for him.

He sat in stunned silence for a few seconds until he ceased to think hi emotions taking control of him and he lifted her chin and in a fit of passion brought his lips to hers, the spell containing his power fell. He opened his eyes only to find a pair of crimson eyes looking back at him. The room was filled with a thick cloud of steam as his ice magic met her fire. They resumed kissing passionately their horns touching generating another cloud of steam. They explored each others mouths for quite some time until they were interrupted by one of the spa mares coughing and saying "Would you kindly do that in private." Blushing madly they ran as fast as their legs would take them from the shop dropping the money on the counter before bolting out the door past a pair of mares on a yellow pegasus and the other a sterling white unicorn who stood in a daze as they ran as fast as they could for the library. When they arrived Naga, Twilight, and Silver were no where to be seen. Looking at a list Twilight Flare determined that her twin sister had left on a scheduled walk. They went to a room downstairs that held nothing but a bed and a place that looked like it held a large box that had recently been moved. "Dr. is out." concluded Flare with a smile. "How do you know?" Cerulean asked puzzled. "Oh the T.A.R.D.I.S. isn't here so hes probably doing something stupid and fun, so that mean we have some time to continue where we left off." she said walking up to him forcing him onto the bed and kissing him. Cerulean broke the kiss a smile on his face, "But what if you sister comes home?"

She waved a dismissive hoof, "Oh her schedule said she won't be back for an hour and she never breaks schedule." she said in her best attempt at seductive witch came out more as masculine and hilarious. Gasping for breath over the fit of laughter he looked over at Flare who had joined in on the laughter after a few seconds of thought. The smile on her face took Cerulean's breath away, any doubt before about his feelings for her were dispelled as he looked into her eyes glistening with laughter and love. How he ever thought he could have tried to turn her away suddenly filled him with gut-wrenching horror, because for the first time in years, he felt loved, at home, at peace. She crawled up next to him and they lay down on the bed heads on the same pillow. and in this manner they stayed talking of nothing that mattered laughing and holding each other, never wanting to let go and eventually drifting into slumber wrapped in the sweet embrace of each others arms. forever each others they knew in their hearts even if their minds did not that they were bound to each other in love.

Naga arrived home late that night having had some matters to attend to as a result of the latest incidents involving the changelings, he had taken on the responsibility of monitoring the situation after the incident involving the royal wedding. He found Cerulean in his usual position on the couch Flare under his arm watching a scary movie as she cowered under his arm while the monster rounded the corner. Getting an evil thought he walked up behind them and cast a voice alteration spell. He opened his mouth and groanedeww like the severed head monster in the movie.

Naga left the library smoking and bleeding from shards of ice but all the same laughing. He decided to leave the two love birds in peace partly because he wanted not to wake Twilight Sparkle and invoke her wrath, and the other half because he wanted to take a walk to his birth place. The castle that now resided abandoned in the Everfree. smiled

He pondered his time and smiled, he had had a good time here well... anything is better than bleeding out for an indefinite amount of time. He cursed the cult of Discord and swore that he would kill every single one of them, then he thought better and continued on his way. In a way he owed them his new life with Twilight so he decided to let them live, for now. Thoughts like this had played through his head many times all ending in the same result, no killing the bastards just enjoy you time with Twilight. His thoughts drifted now to the lavender mare, he had loved her even before he knew her, or so he liked to believe. He remembered their wedding day, the birth of their foal, he brother beating him savagely until Candace pulled him off. The last time Naga had seen Candace she had been a toddler but she remembered him, she was always his favorite relative.

In time he arrived at the ruins of his former home, he looked at the walls overgrown by moss and vines. He imagined the splendor of his childhood, the elaborate murals and colorful tapestries. He smiled and walked onward. He ascended the flight of stone stairs to the throne room, the room lay in shambles partially from age, and the rest from the battle Twilight and the rest fought against Nightmare Moon. He looked over the ground and remembered the times when as a foal he would laugh and play while his mother and aunt watched from their thrones.

A shift in the air caught his attention seconds before he discovered his arm severed from his body. A series of compressed air blasts riddled him painting the floor with his blood. A pure white stallion emerged from the shadows and looked at the mangled corpse a few feet away. "So this is Naga, son of Luna the heretic who sealed away master Discord. Pathetic." He spat in the direction of the body before turning away. However as he started to walk a chilling laugh echoed throughout the chamber, spinning around he looked for the source of the noise. Naga's bloodied corpse rose and the enormous holes that filled up most of his body began to heal as the blood on the floor rose and flowed into him. Re-attaching his arm Naga looked at the stallion before him, "Nice try but you'l have to do better than that to kill me." And with that he proceeded to walk away.

The stallion enraged by this shouted "Don't turn you back on me don't you know who I am. I am Zephyr master of wind and high commander to lord Discord.." Naga kept walking but said "I don't care do as you wish you pose no threat nor interest to me." At this the stallion sneered and said, "Well if you wont take me seriously then i guess I'll just have to take a visit to that mare of yours and see how you like that?" Naga stopped in his tracks, "And ma-by then I'll deal with that pathetic brat of a son you have and..." his last words were cut off by a scythe nearly cleaving him in two, just barely managing to draw a short sword from his side. Wordlessly Naga withdrew his scythe and stood his ground a few feet away from Zephyr, Naga's form flickered at the same time as Zephyr's and a flurry of blows were exchanged at speeds to fast to comprehend they appeared a few seconds late side by side both weapons in a downward position. Naga bleed slightly from a wound on his head and smiled as Zephyr coughed up blood and fell to his knees. His body was surrounded by a torrent of wind that made it impossible to see through and exploded violently tossing Naga across the room. Re-approaching Zephyr he found instead a black stallion with a green mane and tail barely conscious, "Thank you..." he croaked before falling down to the cold hard stone.

Madness, all that surrounded him. Madness. Consuming all thought until all that remained was fear and hatred. This is the world that Atomic Vortex. He tried to deal with Discord to save his mother's life but ended up his slave, and she dying from a different cause seconds after she was cured of the life threatening disease by a mad pony with a knife. He served under him for years as his personal hitpony, killing those who opposed the madness or stood up against him. Now after eons of servitude the curse was lifted, the veil cast away, his mind restored. And all because of a demon turned traitor to his species, who bred with an alicorn princes and birthed a son to oppose the madness. He was sane because of Naga.

He awoke with a start, he leapt from the bed he was in, or tried to. He found his arms and legs restrained by leather straps. Looking across the room he saw a dark figure in a chair slouched against the wall. "Look who's awake, so sleep well?" a familiar voice asked. "Who are you?" Atom said with as much power as he could but found it very painful. Looking down he saw a large stab wound on his chest. Suddenly he remembered, "You'r Naga, son of Luna. You almost killed me... thank you." The black alicorn walked over and leaned over him an eyebrow raised, "What for?" he asked. "Freeing me from Discord's power. I am my own stallion again even if you kill me I know I die myself, not that demon Zephyr. No offence." Naga looked ah him a few seconds longer and laughed, "Wow, so you realy aren't that dumb shit of an assassin. Good cause one, he was a prick. And two, I didn't feel like killing you now." A knock at the door interrupted them. "Naga it's your turn to change Silver's diaper so get your flank out here." a feminine voice said.

"One second sweetheart I'm finishing up with the assassin," He turned and formed a blade in his hoof and in a quick motion slashed twice. Atom closed his eyes and waited for the pain, instead he felt the restraints fall away. As he sat up the room became illuminated and after letting his eyes adjust he found himself in a library on a surgical table. He swung off it as it disappeared into black smoke and was met face to face with a pleading Naga. "Please tell me you can change a diaper."

After helping Naga change a rather playful foal into a new diaper he set off to town with Naga in the lead. "So you'r from about my time so let me catch you up to speed, we won the chaos war, we are in a time of peace but hostilities with the griffin nation are strained, and food has never tasted better." he finished with a smile as they walked steadily into town. Atom shook his head and looked at him "Whu..?" Naga rolled his eyes "Ok other than a few new cities not much has changed save some technological advancements and not all of the magical variety." Atom nodded in understanding. It was at this time that his stomach decided to growl scaring a nearby yellow pegasus into a bush. "Um perchance we could get something to eat?" Naga looked at him worriedly "As long as your ready."

Atom realized Naga's fear as soon as they stepped hoof into the bakery. "GUUUUUUUUU! A new pony! I'vegottogoprepairthewelcomepartyit'llbereadysoonseeyoulaterby!" Atom blinked and the pink pony who had just been standing in front of him disappeared. A brown earth pony with an hourglass cutie mark walked past and said "Don't blink." before walking out. Atom looked over at Naga and asked "But, what, how, who, cookie?" Naga placed a hoof on his shoulder "Don't think about it, Pinky cant be rationalized by any standard other that 'that's just Pinky'." He looked at him and with a confused face continued to order one of the best pastries in his life, but for some reason Naga wouldn't let him order a cupcake. He questioned him but all he got was "You don't want to know, you really don't"

Afterwards the headed out for a drink, being chopped up into tiny peaces and getting stabbed with a scythe were sufficient reason to grab a drink. Naga led him to a bar on the edge of town, the name read "Apple trough". They went inside and sat at a table in the corner of the dimly lit bar and ordered two ciders. A huge red pony set the mugs in front of them and walked away with a "Eup". The cider was frothing at the top and smelled so strong that it made Atom cough. Naga pushed his to Atoms side and called over the waiter to order a glass of soda. "Cant drink, last time I got drunk I nearly blew Equestria to hell, literally." Atom laughed "Pussy" and downed the cider in one gulp. "No substance known to pony can get me drunk." He boasted. "Lets test that," an orange colored mare said as she walked up to them and handed Naga his soda.

Atom readily accepted never being able to resist a challenge, when he was young his mother called him the element of determination. And so the mare led him to a table at the center of the bar and an elderly pony tossed her a dark bottle of liquid that she caught and set on the table along with two shot glasses. "I'll go first." She said and pored a glass of a clear reflective liquid into the glass. he downed it with vigor and slammed the glass onto the table. Your turn. They repeated this presses until they were both heavily intoxicated. As Applejack, as she was called by the red stallion server, lifted the glass to her face she instead found herself falling backward. Atom ran up to her and attempted to catch her but ended up falling with her. She landed on top of him and they both began to laugh. It was at this time that the pair noticed that everypony else had left after a few hours of watching them down shot after shot. He blushed violently when he noticed the way he was positioned above her and instantly threw himself off. He scooted back as Applejack noticed too and be began to blush with a slight smile. At this Atom heard a small 'whoosh' and found his wings outstretched involuntarily. He panicked at the sight but soon found himself face to face with a bright orange mare, "Hmm I'll take this as a complement then?" She said before delving in for a kiss. Her mouth tasted of liquor but to Atom it was bliss. They locked lips and kissed deeply niether wanting to break away, a familiar feeling began to rise in his loins and soon he noticed a strange sent lifting off of the mare before him.

They broke at last a strand of saliva trailing between them, their eyes locked and for a glorious moment they felt the others soul. They gazed upon the others naked essence and they knew instantly what the other wanted. Each-other. By now Atom had become fully erect and was as red as the apples on Applejack's flank. She slowly slid up his body grinding her hips against his. He responded slipping his hooves down her flank and massaging her firm cheeks. Slowly she positioned herself above him, however Atom took control and flipped her onto her back. Slowly he teased her slit circling it sliding up and down. She moaned with pleasure looking up at him with pleading eyes she said, "Don't tease." And with that he thrust into her, as a small trickle of blood went down her legs she moaned even louder, he did to. He started to thrust and eventually worked up a pace. They clashed together like fire and ice, their finish could be heard by pony's on the moon. Afterwards they left and stumbled to Apple's house where they fell asleep intertwined, sweaty and in love.

The warmth emanating throughout his body felt amazing, his body still asleep and his mind barely awake Naga looped his arm around the mare beside him. Twilight shifted to a more comfortable position and in the process grabbed Naga's arm and held it like a blanket. Smiling Naga did nothing and instead snuggled up closer to his wife and lay his head in her mane before falling once again into blissful.. "Goood morning sleepy heads!" Naga shot up his sythe flying to his hoof before he saw the familiar red maned mare in the dorstep a huge smile on her face. "Twily I think I'm going to kill your sister." Naga deadpanned, "Ok but you'r cleaning up the mess." she responded siting up giving her namesake twin a deadly glare.

"Oh come off it Sparkles, now come downstairs and we can get this beautiful day started!" Naga rolled onto his hooves and walked up to the beaming mare and took her hoof in his. "Take this money and buy a house, but get out now or I cant guarantee my own or my wife's actions." And with that he handed her a bag of bits and lazed over to Twilight and left Flare in the doorway mouth agape. "Bu..." Naga cut her off by saying "You can take your colt-friend with you but get out I hate mornings and you love them now GO I want to SLEEP." and using his power shut the door and soundproofed it for the next half hour with a spell. Afterwards he climbed into bed and fell promptly back to sleep. Cerulean looked up from his coffee to see a stunned Flare walk down the stairs, "What's wrong sweetheart?" He asked looking over to her. "Well, I think my brother in law just bought us a house."

Aside from the loud thud of Cerulean's jaw hitting the floor the rest of the morning went by quite nicely. They rose a few hours later Naga taking Silver from his crib and giving him to Twilight for a feeding. Then he fixed a light breakfast for them and they left on a stroll. Later they stopped by second hand bookstore and browsed for a bit. Towards the end of the day they sat outside and talked about their recent achievements in gaming. Naga had fallen in love with video games when he discovered them and soon after he introduced them to Twilight who found them similarly interesting. As the sun set they let out a sigh of contentment as they relaxed in the bench on the balcony overlooking Ponyville. The sun was setting and they both looked at each other and smiled. A flash of light caught their attention, they looked up and barely managed to bring up a warding shield to stop a magical mortar from hitting them. The blast was rendered harmless but it still made one hell of a noise. Wailing from silver started as the rest of Ponyville was bombarded by magical explosives. Naga called his scythe to him and looked at Twilight. "Get inside, put up a shield and stay here, I'll take care of this."

She nodded and went into the house as Naga leaped from the balcony not even slowing his fall and creating a small crater on impact as he landed. Looking to his left he saw Cerulean and Atom run up, "The hell is going on?" Atom asked. "No idea, but whatever it is were ending it here and now." The three of them ran forward charging into a crowd of panicking pony's trying to get through to the other end of town. Eventually they cam across a pony in military garb, "Soldier what is going on here?" Naga asked. "Were under attack it's the Morphlings si.." He was cut short by a large explosion nearby blowing away half of his body. Naga looked at him and cast a spell sending him to the infirmary to be helped. "Fuck, had to be Morphlings." he said walking forward. "What the hell are Morphlings?" Cerulean asked. "Well," Naga replied, "there like the Changelings but instead of changing the way they look they change their bodies into any form of weapon you can imagine. Also they can regenerate from most fatal wounds making them hard as hell to kill."

"Heh no prob," A voice from behind them said, turning to face the voice Naga recognized Dark Lightning hovering above the ground a smirk on his face. "Don't underestimate them, or it will be the last thing you do." Naga warned and the pegasus took on a more serious look and nodded. The group of them walked towards the fray occasionally one of them deflecting a mortar but for the most part focusing on getting there. They arrived at the scene and saw for themselves the chaos unfold. The police force of Ponyville was being slaughtered in a futile attempt to slow down the black and white spotted demons. "Alright you three lets go kill some bitches." And with that Naga proceeded to jump off the cliff they were on and plummet to the ground. At the last moment he extended his wings and flew parallel to the ground as his scythe appeared in his hooves. He brought in in a arch flaring with black shadows into a crowd of Morphlings who were instantly cut in two. Their body's began to fragment into small black specks of nothingness.

Atom was next jumping into the fray bringing up a wall of wind sucking enemies into it as he tossed a twin helix sword into the air and spinning it making a pony blender of wind. Dark raced to the sky and returned with a gigantic lightning bolt trailing him. At top speed he crashed into the ground causing a resulting explosion that incinerated everything within 50 feet of him. Cerulian began to focus and in moments unleashed a wave of cold freezing anything in its path solid, next he jumped and made a huge ammount of ice form in front of him and built it up to become the equivalent of a small mountain and smashed it into the ground the resulting shockwave shatering the ice statues made from the morphlings. Sudenly a huge green light apeared and spiraling down from the sky came Fragment weilding swords on chains flying twords the enemy. He lunged with the blades and killed scores of them all crumbleing to ash at the touch of his blades.

This continued until everypony was exhausted and nearing collapse, seeing this Naga finished the enemy he was engaging and leaped high into the air. His aura covered him and he began to chant his aura expanding every second. His shadow-like aura began to form into a gigantic circle of arcane symbols, seeing this Fragment shouted to retreat and they all ran to ponyville to escape the coming storm. As soon as they were out of the circle Naga's eyes shot open and he screamed an arcane word into the air and a from the rune circle cam a blast of immense white light. After it cleared the entire field was reduced to a smoldering crater in the center was a black alicorn. Atom flew up to Naga and asked "You ok?" Naga looked at him wearily, "I am never doing that again."

"Everypony listen up!" Naga shouted at the group consisting of Atom, Cerulean, and Dark Lightning. Beside him stood Fragment looking the rest as they looked to Naga not used to this level of volume. "Last week we faced a new enemy and we nearly lost. This is because we have let ourselves get weak, so from now on every day until I say so you will report here for training, or I will cast a spell on you that causes severe insomnia." Everypony nodded save Atom, "Why are you in charge and how come you don't have to train?" Naga smiled and looked him in the eye, "Neither I or Fragment will be participating in this as we are at our pique physical condition and you couldn't hope to match it, that's why."

"Bull, you couldn't beat me ever, not even if I let you." Atom stated boldly. Naga smiled widely at this "Well then let's put that to the test. Lets see who can beat the other into submission first, you get first hi..." Atom interrupted him with a hoof charged with wind causing Naga to slam into the opposing cliff-face creating and indent. He smiled and turned around beginning to walk away. "Never turn you back on an opponent," Naga whispered in his ear and slammed his hoof into his gut causing him to loose his breath. Atom regained his breath and charging the air around him propelled his fists forward at the speed of a chain-gun, repeatedly punching at Naga. Not a single hit landed each one being blocked by Naga lazily with one hoof until he caught Atoms hoof and used it to slam him into the ground. "Oh come now is that all you can do?" Naga taunted as Atom looked up at him. Atoms coat stood on end as tendrils of wind spiraled around him. He launched into the air and came back down causing three separate sonic booms as he did. He used his front hoof to act as a punch as he descended at Naga. Naga simply caught his hoof and with a flick of his wrist sent him vertically into the air. Upon his retuning to earth Naga caught him by the neck and looked him in the eye. "Understand?" Atom nodded and Naga dropped him and continued on.

"We'll start with a class on hoof to hoof combat by Frag, pay attention and lets do this." Naga said before summoning his scythe and disappearing. Fragment smiled and raised a hoof teleporting everypony into a dark tunnel made of stone and reeking of rot of every kind. "First things first before I teach you I need to know you skill level. So Atom you may sit out due to your demonstration but you two will need to show me, Dark attack me with everything you have but use no weapons." Dark obliged and stepped forward hoof charged with electricity. He launched a punch at Frag who simply countered by spinning and slamming his hoof down on his arm. Dark grunted but followed up with several attacks none of them hitting and every time ending up on the business end of Fragment's hoof.

Eventually Frag called for Cerulean to take his place and similar events occurred and he ended up in the same position as Dark had been in. This continued for a few minutes until Frag called it to a stop, He announced that they had a good understanding and only rely needed practice and schooling on technique witch he proceeded to educate them on demonstrating the moves until they understood them. At the end of the lesson Frag smiled and said, "Good job from now on we'll practice your technique and practice some sparing but that's good for today." As he finished Naga appeared from A shadowy corner and looked everypony in the eye, "Alright by now you are probably wondering where we are, the answer, my house. This is the old castle in the Everfree where I lived until my capture and thousand year bleed-out. Good times. Anyhow I brought you all here because I have something to show you. Follow." He said before walking up the stairs behind him. As the exited the corridor they noticed immediately where they were, the old element's hall where the elements of harmony were once held.

Naga approached the column and touched his horn to it, his aura spread throughout the pillar in intricate patterns going to and fro across it. The pattern spread across the floor and reached the walls where it continued destroying vines and mold and replacing stone that had long since faded away to dust. Within a minute the castle was rebuilt to its former glory and the once sinister mood was replaced by calm peaceful one. They gazed in awe at the now recreated monument before them, "As prince of Equestria I must choose three lords to reign over the sectors of my kingdom that I cannot directly influence. And as such I have chosen you three to act as them, Fragment is ineligible as the current adviser to the royal court and member of the royal family. So when the time comes you three will take your family's and live in castles across Equestria similar to this one. And as for contact of your friends there are special teleportation chambers that allow you to go to any of the other chambers no matter the distance and return both instantaneous and painlessly. What do you say?"

Every pony responded unitedly with a resounding "Yes!". Naga smiled "Then welcome my friends to the royal court and to my home. I bid you welcome."

"He's coming ready yourselves, everyone get ready. 3, 2, 1.....NOW!"...................

---

Naga walked the path roaming throughout the forest of Everfree, it had been years since he had met Twilight for the first time here. He trotted on the earth that had greedily drunken his blood that fateful night, now it flourished with flowers of every variety. He smiled at them glad that this spot was now a place of beauty and not one of horror. A rustling behind him caused him to turn and he came face to face with a hooded figure. Removing the hood it revealed the face of a zebra, "Zacora, long have we not seen each other, did you know Twilight's a mother." She smiled at his speech pattern he adopted when she was around. "True true my friend on night so blue. And mother you say, well hooray."

Naga smiled "Walk safe my friend, my your path not bend." He said as she walked across the clearing toward the path to her house. "I shall and look out at this hour, amiss something is and evil it instills." He nodded with a solemn face knowing the Zebra was not one to be easily scared, and if she was it was best to move swiftly and quietly. They headed in opposite directions Naga choosing to walk and see if he could scout out the source of Zecora's uneasiness. He walked a ways looking in all directions using a spell that allowed the user to see in all directions. After a few minutes the spell began to give him a headache so he cut it his vision returning to normal.

He looked to the sky and his mother's moon, it gleamed brightly giving the world a surreal feeling in the low light casting twisting shadows that small pony's would misconstrue as monsters or menacing creatures. He chuckled himself remembering his own childhood, he spent most of his awake time at night so the shadows were never really menacing to him as they were to others. To him they offered a quiet and serenity that was rare to find in the daytime. He shared his thoughts with Twilight and she had understood and let him show her his world of the night. They took a trip into the forest one night and spent it gazing up at the stars. Sometimes Naga wished the night could last forever when he was a foal, he had told his mother this and she had laughed and said "For you I would create Nighttime eternal."

He smiled as he remembered all the fond memories of his time at the castle, he was happy Twilight had agreed to move there and leave the house to the Dr. Now he could give his son the same experiences he had growing up, well, aside from the war he hoped. As he walked the path towards Ponyville, seeing as how they had yet to move, he allowed himself to lose his attention on his surroundings for a trip through his memories, "NOW!" a voice screamed from the darkness. A group of morphling's descended upon Naga scythe's in hoof. The group now surrounded Naga their blades sticking through his body in several places. They stood there until they were all thrown back by a kinetic blast, Naga's voice filled the empty night air with laughter. "If I were a thousand years younger that would have worked." He gathered himself into a fighting stance and spoke all the while "Unfortunately that is not the case."

One of the morphlings charged his scythe hoof extended but was met with a hoof and swift snap as his neck was broken. Three more came at him but he finished them by decapitation and disintegrating there body's to prevent resurrection. He turned to the remaining three and looked at them, "So who's next?" One of them charged forward screaming but was incinerated before he got within even a few feet of him. The other two looked at each other and ran screaming from Naga, not that it stopped them from incineration they just tried to run away. Naga continued down the path until he was stopped by a pony with a mechanical leg chest and portion of his face on the top left side. "Sir I'm going to need some idetifi.... Sir! My apologies I mistook you for a civilian please forgive my mistake your highness. And also thank you sir for the other day on the battlefield I hear you teleported me to safety after the mortar fell on me." Naga laughed, "No problem Commander Glare, and would you happen to be looking for a group of Morphlings?"

"Umm yes sir. How did you.." Naga raised a hoof, "Attacked me a while back, killed them burned the remains now walk with me I have a proposition for you 'commander'.

"Mistress Celestia your nephew is here per your request," The royal guard said from the door leading int the observatory. The goddess of the sun turned and looked at the guard. "Good let him in," She said in a soft and kind voice giving the guard a smile as he stepped aside allowing entry for the black alicorn. A quarter metal pony began to follow him inside but was stopped by the guard, Naga looked kindly at the guard and said "It's perfectly fine he's my bodyguard, anywhere I go so does he." The guard looked sceptically to Celestia who nodded and smiled, at this the white unicorn removed the hoof he had placed between the metallic stallion and the entryway.

The guard pulled the door shut and as soon as the wooden frame finished closing Celestia's face fell into a more somber one. "Naga I'm sure you know that ever since the attack at Ponyvile we have been at war. And that I wouldn't call you here out of the blue for no good reason. The truth of the matter is I'm dying." She said without so much as flinching. Glare on the other hand collapsed on his flesh and blood side to the floor at the sentence. "And?" Naga asked "I already knew this aunt what is it you need?" She smiled at this. "I need Twilight, I need her to take my place and carry my burden as the sun goddess, you can see how they would react." She said motioning to the fainted Red Glare "In that way I can live as long as I am allowed in my normal alicorn form and we need not put the kingdom through the death of a god before a war. You will take your mothers place as lord of the night and you will reign in our place. I have arranged for the ceremony to take place at the next summer sun celebration, there I will pass the mantle to her and she will raise the moon and the following night you will raise the moon in a similar ceremony. As you know the celebration is only a week off and I had planed to do this next year but fate has decided otherwise. I now ask you to tell Twilight the news and help her adjust to the idea."

Naga pondered this for a moment, "Alright but I need to ask a few things first." he said. "Shoot." "I want to know if it would be ok to move the capital to the Everfree castle. That way the transition wont separate the elements of harmony.." He was cut off by Celestia saying "And keep Twilight close to her friends so she can still lead a semi-normal life." Naga simply stood there not saying a thing nor letting his face betray a single emotion. "Yes that will be acceptable, a new beginning in an old one. Something poetic about it." Naga smiled and nodded his head, "Thank you aunty, now as for the matter of you and mother I believe it best if you stay here and keep up public appearances. remain social and ease tension as needed, because there certainly will be plenty. And now that we have the details out of the way my reason for coming immediately as this could have waited until tomorrow, these 'morphlings' I want to know what may have caused this attack. As far as I know we have nothing they want nor do we offer a quarrel. Neither are they known to be an aggressive race, they primarily only attack when their mates the changelings as they are called are under attack."

Celestia looked away guardedly for a moment, "As it turns out they attempted to conquer Equestria to feed on the abundant love here. A member of the only other surviving alicorn family name Candace and your brother-in-law Drove them out using their combined power whereas I could not in my weak state." Naga facehoofed, "All races that have angered the morphlings have been eradicated from existence. I do believe we are in some deep shit, but I think I have a solution.
