Got help from Architect realities to finish this. enjoy^^

***Luna pov. Dream walking.***

It took me some time but I finally figured out the Lich’s sleeping patterns, every three weeks he sleeps for up to ten hours. In order to go into his dreams it all relied on timing. Not only that but he didn't dream like most ponies do, sometimes it would just be a empty space of darkness. I knew it was his mind, but what I didn't know was how to find him here. His dream scape was... In ruins.

However the dreamscape was slowly repairing itself, but it was far from being a true dreamscape. The doorway into this place was in pieces but had a number of barriers to try and keep somepony or something out. "How am I to find Asphyxious if he’s lost even within his own mind." I said to myself then I heard singing? I followed the sound of the voice and then I saw what looked like a night sky.

I then saw trees I've never seen before, I kept walking into this strange forest. Why did I know? It’s strange for one thing. I felt like I was in the everfree, but it was clear this forest was not everfree.

Then the singing stopped and it was replaced with laugher, a twisted laugh that filled the forest around me with dread. I got ready for a fight but then the laughter stopped, I was confused by this just what was happening. I kept walking and found a large lake, and above it was a full moon.

I hear the sound of something drop in to the lake and when I turned to where it came from I stopped. I wasn't sure just what I was looking at, it was some kind of hairless ape the most strangest thing about was the hood over it face. It looked like it was fishing with the rod in it hands, what kind of dream did I walk into?.

But the thing that made me stop and stare was the small changeling laying on his lap sleeping. Just who was this, is it the Iron Lich or somepony else?. I move closer until I heard a voice from behind me. "Who are you?" I turn around and saw another hooded being but I could not see it’s face, no it didn't have one. Oddly it was dressed in the same outfit as the one who was fishing.

"Who are you?" I asked, he looked as if thinking before looking up at the night sky. If this was Asphyxious he didn't seem to mind that I was here, let alone walking through his mind. "I don't know." What? How can he not know who he is? I think to myself as I look back to the one who was fishing.

"And who is that with the Changeling?" I pointed as the hooded being looked at the one sitting under a tree fishing without a care in the world. The Hooded one looked back at me and I saw a blue glow where it eyes should be. "That’s the one who calls himself Asphyxious."

I was a little shocked, what but he looked nothing like what my sister told me. I watched as something pulled on the end of the line, I saw the one the hooded being called Asphyxious jump up and pull on the rod. The little changeling was jumping up and down cheering him on, what was this. This looked nothing like what I was expecting I would think he would dream of a world full of death not a world full of life.

Can this really be Asphyxious then who was this standing next to me. I turn to it only to find that the hooded being I was talking turnaround then start to walk away before he left he said this to me. "Talk to him, he needs someone to talk about his fears." I watch as he seem to become one with shadows, I looked back at Asphyxious who had a large fish on the end of his line. The Little changeling was giggling and laughing, I take a breath and walk up to them.

***Asphyxious pov. Dreaming.***

Fishing my old pass time I forgotten how relaxing and fun this was, it was nice seeing Pupa was enjoying it to. However I can't help but feel something off about tonight that was when I looked at the moon and saw it, it just like home. "Daddy who is that?" Asked Pupa. I couldn't help but laugh there was nobody here but us so who could she be, that was when I saw Luna. "Pupa, go home now."

I could see the confusion in her eyes but she did as I asked and ran into the woods. I wasn't sure how she got past all the warjacks keeping this place safe unless... I was dreaming. "Is this, a dream?" I asked as I looked around myself.

"Yes this is the dreamscape, your dream scape." Said Luna. She sounded calmer than what I thought she would be and to see nothing happening around me made me curious. She could of attacked me but she didn't, why?

"I take it your 'Sister' told you about me." I said trying to keep the disdain out of my voice. I really hated Celestia the scars I have of the pain and madness she put me through run deep.

"Only what she knew of you, that wasn't a lot really so I came to ask for a more in-depth expansion of your history." I stared at her and laughed, why she wanted my side of the story?

Not even Twilight and her friends tried to get my side of the story so I told her, everything. Buying my staff and book from the merchant, how I was turned into the Iron Lich even if I don't remember all of it, the other displaced everything.

"And now, you know." I said calmly. When I looked up at Luna what I saw was tears, she was crying. Why I didn't understand why was she so upset Luna then walked up to me and hugged me. Really? First Shy now Luna, why do they feel the need to hug me? It not like it will change what happened to me or anything.

"I'm so sorry, if I was there maybe I could of done something." I sighed and pet her head as she looked up at me with those watery beautiful eyes. I smiled at her as I gave her a hug back, I think she needed it more than I do.

"When I came into this world I found out later you were trapped on the moon, there was no way for you to help me because you didn't know I needed help to begin with." I then boop her nose it was so cute the way she twitched her nose after I did that.

"Besides it was not your fault that I was locked up in the first place. You have nothing to be sorry for, your sister on the other hand." I looked at the lake. It helped that it looked so calm and peaceful, this forest was the only thing keeping my anger in check. That was when I noticed a flame shadow trying to hide from us in the woods.

"Sombra, good to see you again. Up for another round?" I said with a laugh, he didn't look happy about me calling him out. Oh look he has a mace and scythe this time round, before it was just swords he would try and attack me with.

"What is she doing here?" Sombra snarled as he has his weapons at the ready to attack. I turn to Luna and saw she was doing the same once she saw the git. I did not need these two fighting inside my head. "Lady calm down, theres no need for fighting here."

Sombra roared at me and attacked, seeing as this was a dream I willed my staff into my hands and block his attack. I smiled at him as he looked at me with hate, I was enjoying myself. I saw Luna was not sure what to do by the way she was watching us. I think she was trying to understand what was going on, I then smiled and said this. "Yo Sombrero mind if I fill Lulu in on why you're inside my head?"

"I don't care I will take over your body if it the last thing I do! " I'll take that as a yes. I kick him into a tree and look over at Luna. "Okay so I took his soul and stuck it in my staff now he's my room mate inside my head."

As I was explaining this Sombra slammed the mace into my back and sent me flying into the lake. Funny thing was I wasn't going under the water seeing as this was a dream I didn't need to worry about going under water.

"And now we fight each other in my dreams sometimes, it’s fun." I teleported back to him and stab my staff into his body before throwing him into another tree. I look to Luna again and I think she’s not sure how to feel about this, well no worries it not like he can go any where else.

That was when I felt it, Sombra stopped his attack then looks out into the woods. I know this feeling he’s coming back. "Luna I need you to leave now, it’s coming." I said as Sombra walks over and stands at my side. It was funny the first time this happened we had no idea what was going on. The second time we tried fighting this Hellbringer and it didn't go so well, until we started working together. The third time we seem to fight it to a stand still now we were going to try something else.

"Asphyxious what is this?" Asked Luna. I looked at her and could see the worry in her eyes, I saw the forest was dying all around us. The lake dried up into nothing, I saw the green glow coming this way and the black smoke going into the sky and it start to rain again.

"What’s coming." She asked again. I sighed and look at her, I felt many things right now. Fear, anger, and most of all sorrow. I just look back to the woods as the Hellbringer just slashed it way through a tree and saw all of us.

"My fear, my strange, but most of all what I could become if I didn't seek to change. I will say this once more, leave as this is between us." I could feel the skin on my body fade away as the metal take it place, I hope Kat and the girls finish my upgrade soon. I don't know how long I can hold Hellbringer off by myself, that was when Sombra said this.

"Hurry up and turn me in to your weapon you'll need my power to fight this thing!"

I look at him in surprise I didn't think I'd hear him say something like that, Sombra then gave me this look and growled. "I am not doing this because I think you're my friend or anything, if you lose that will just make it harder for me to take over later."

I sighed at this as I reach out and put my hand on his back, his body turned to shadow and then into my staff. I then look at the Hellbringer as he stands in front of me I then said this. "Lets just hope all the fighting we did with each other helps us now."

The Hellbringer draws his sword and points it at us. "Are you ready Asphyxious to face me?" It said. I just stand at the ready and point my own staff back at him, I was thinking of a number of spells to use on him but then I thought to myself. This is ever going to be a lot of fun or a nightmare either way let do this.

"Not really, but something tells me you're not just going to go home now are you?" After I said that the fight started and the nightmare begun. I teleported behind it and fire a spell off at it, Energy Bombardment launch a salvo of elemental blasts from my staff that homes in on the target. They explode in a ball of energy but the Hellbringer just faces me and attacks sending me flying deeper into the dead forest.

"Asphyxious!" I hear Luna yell, what was she still doing here? didn't I tell her to leave already. I look up and saw him walking over to me, I quickly get up and hold up my staff out in front of me.

Any ideas Sombra? This guy still stronger than us.

Shut up and let me think, this Hellbringer must have a weakness we just need to find it!.

And how do we do that when his kicking our ass?.

I thought back to him as I teleport away again to dodge out of the way. Something was bugging me as this fight was going on, if this Hellbringer was the stronger form after being a Lich Lord. Then why hasn't he started firing off any spells at me yet?

Sombra I have an idea can you make copy's of me?.

I don't see how that would help, but I can why?.

I think it will help us learn more about what this guy weakness is.

I stop and hold my staff out smoke like shadows start to flow out of it and sink into the ground. Then shadow like things start to rise up from out of the ground, then there shape changes to look just like me. I then heard Luna voice, what she still here?!. "That is one of Sombra’s techniques!"

However the Hellbringer didn't seem to mind at all. "Fool, you bring shadows to fight with me? They can't even fight back!" Said the Hellbringer as he slash's one in half and if fades away.

He hasn’t used any spell’s yet but that don’t mean he doesn't have any, so far we are not getting any ground on how to beat this guy. Wait, Asphyxious in the games always has a small army under his control. Even if he is stronger that means he can’t fight all on his own, we have the same weaknesses.

"Come out and face me show me you can fight!" Hellbringer calls out. If I’m right then why is he fighting me all by himself, something’s wrong I just know it. That was when I saw a blast of magic hit the Hellbringer in the back.

“Luna I said for you to leave!” I yell at her. What was she thinking I’m not even sure I can handle this thing let alone her. I hear the Hellbringer hiss and finally turns to face her, this is bad.

"You dare, to attack me when this is not your trial!" He roars at her. Wait trial? what he talking about. I saw the princess of the night walk up to the Hellbringer without any fear. That’s a bad idea.

“I do not know what you are foul monster but I will remove you from Asphyxious mind!” Yelled Luna. But the Hellbringer just laughed, he laughs as it start to rain harder and lightning went off.

"Fool, you can not remove what is apart of his soul." He’s what… I stop thinking. That one statement made everything come to a stop he is a part of my… Soul? That can’t be right, can it?

"I’ve seen everything from the day he was born, to the day he was turned into this." He waved a large clawed hand at himself then I saw him point at one of my shadows. "From that day on I was free to do what I must to keep us alive, even if that means killing him and taking this body for myself."

“Impossible, how are you living within him from the start of his life!?” Commanded Luna. The Hellbringer just laughed again and points right at her and said this. "I am every living thing, I am what drives them to live and survive. The name I used when talking with Asphyxious was nothing more than a distraction, even this form and how I fight. My true name is, Instinct."

Thats when I felt something click for the first time in my life, something I have never known or felt before. It wasn’t a voice in my head, or a feeling telling me to fight. I just ‘know’ I had to fight. I slowly walk up to them. My mind numb from before I saw the Hellbringer turn to me, and nod his head.

"Now you are starting to understand, all throughout time many have tried to ever control or cut themselves off from me. But you, you and so many other humans are deaf to my voice, but after being alone for so long with nothing but madness to keep you going. You heard my voice for the first time, how did it make you feel Asphyxious."

I let go of my Lich form and went back to my human form, my tail sways from side to side as I smile to myself. “How did I feel…” I looked up at it with my staff in hand and laughed. “I felt I could take on EVERYTHING!”

I lunged at him and attack but he blocked it with his large sword but I didn’t care. “I felt I could kill anything that tried to take my life.” I attacked again but he blocked and punched me into a tree. I felt my bones broken and blood run free from my cuts but I got up again. “For the first time in my life I was afraid.”

I jump to one side as he swing his large blade at me, I then teleported over his back and stabbed him from behind. I heard him cry out in pain before grabbing my tail and throwing me into the floor. “I… Didn’t want to lose that feeling.” I said as I look up at him.

"You, still have a long way to go." Said The Hellbringer or should I start calling him Instinct from now on? I saw something was going on but couldn’t tell what. "You’re waking up boy, don’t die before you face me again."

***Asphyxious pov. Forge in Den.***

‘God damn, why did waking up make me feel like shit.’ I think as I rub my eyes wait, when did I turn human again? I open my eyes and saw I was laying on a wooden table with a cover over my body. Well at least I’m not naked. “Good to see you’re awake.”

I slowly turn my head and saw laying next to me on my right side was Chrysalis smiling at me. “Chrysalis, why are you laying next to me?” I asked. Chrysalis frowned then rolled her eyes at me as she got off the table.

“Well I have to make sure you’re alright, you were asleep for three days after all.” She said going over to my soul cages. ‘Wait I was asleep for three days!?’ I sit up with the cover around me and saw a table with a lot of metal parts. Not only that I was hungry but that can wait.

“Well, lets see how I look.” I transform back in to my Lich form, wow I’m taller. I looked over the armour of my new body not only that but it was colored a dark blue just like how I asked. Chrysalis hands me my soul cages and I put them back around my waist.

Did you all miss me?

I thought to the souls that lived in side of the soul cages. The Bane Wolves Howled inside my head. I heard Banjo complained about me being gone for so long and Sombra well.

Fool why did you do that?! we could have won if you just stick to the plan!

I had my reasons.

I thought back as I leave the forge with the changeling queen following me. “I want to ask, how did I turn human without being awake?” The Changeling Queen just shrugs at me not knowing why ever.

“By the way, one of the diamond dogs told me you were needed in the new cavern.” I stop at what she said and look at Chrysalis. Thats where all the hundreds of warjacks we found was why would I need to go down there?

“Care to join me and found out what going on?” I asked and the queen smiled and followed as we went into the lower tunnels.

“What the bloody hell are you all doing!” I scream at everybody. The diamond dogs were dragging and taking every warjack close to the way into the den part and just dumping them into carts. I wanted to restore these things so I’d have a cool warjack army what were they thinking?!

“Are you alright sir?” Asked a diamond dig who walked up to me. I turn to him not sure how I should respond so I calm down and and ask this simple question.

“Who said it was okay to destroy all these warjacks I was going to try and restore them!?” I asked. The Dog just pointed at the huge Jack that was being worked on by a crew of ponies and diamond dogs. I saw Kat and Gear Shift I go over to them as I hear them giving orders to both diamond dogs and ponies.

“Girl’s, why are you taking apart all these warjacks.” I wanted to growl at them but I held that back. I wanted to hear there reason why they did what they did, before I started yelling at them.

Gear Shift looked up from some kind of clipboard and sighed. “You want the good news or the bad news?” I blinked at this, good news or bad? oh that don’t sound good.

“Bad news, I take it has to do with why you are having the warjacks taken apart?” I asked. Really I don’t want to hear the good news until I know what's wrong before hand.

“Well at first when we found these thing we got excited but once we cracked one open and looked at the parts it didn’t look good.” Gear Shift rubs the back of her neck as she looks off at something. “Their junk.” Said Kat not even looking at me.

“Junk?” I asked. What did she mean junk, that was when it hit me, oh no don’t tell me. The warjacks have been down here for so long they no longer work and their parts are all but useless to us now. “We can’t use them can we...”

Kat just gave me a nod and I sighed as I lean on a warjack to sit on. Well there go my plans for a warjack army, now we have to make them all one by one and that could take months. That was when Chrysalis walks up to the group that looking over the large warjack that was being worked on. “You said there was good news, what is it?”

I then saw Kat smile, a smile I know all too well that the look she had when we made Grave Digger. “The smaller ones are all useless to us but these big ones.” The Diamond Dog pointed at the two large machines I saw when I came down here last time with that displaced girl, huh I’ve forgotten her name already.

“They have more armour and have even more work put into keeping them running, even to this point. One of the unicorns did a magic scan on the cortexes and they’re still working, a bit.” This picked me back up okay so we can’t get a whole army of warjacks to fight for me but having two huge warjacks fighting for me sounds a lot better than nothing.

“Okay, that sounds good to me but I see one problem with it. Once we fix these things up how do we get them out of the den?” Kat looked at me with wide eyes, oh come on she didn’t even think that far ahead yet!

That when I heard another dog start yelling. “We found another one!” I looked at the dog who was yelling, he was pretty far down from where I was. I then saw Kat and Gear Shift run down a path to get down there. I look at Chrysalis and we both share a look then teleport down to the dog. My teleport was more like lightning and smoke as I stand not far from the diamond dog who called out to everyone. Chrysalis showed up next to me in green fire and walks out of it.

“What did you find?” I said as I move on to look at the thing they found. One word came to my mind once I saw it and that was huge. All I could see of it now was the large back and what looked like two cannons on it back like a turret. But the thing I had my eye was just over the head in between the large shoulders was the Khador signa.

“Okay, thats big…” Okay I think we’re taking on more then we can handle here, once the group chases up I said this. “Okay new plan we’re going to restore the two machines that we found closest to the den. Once we get both of them working I want this one dug up later for now just mark it and work on the others okay.” The group of Dogs and Ponies nod at me as I take one last look at it before making my way back up to the den.

“Where are you going?” Asked Chrysalis. “Don’t you want to stay and watch?” I wave my hand as I make my way back to the den. “Chrysalis I have a living body again the first thing I want to do is get some clothes then get something to eat.”

Once I get to my room I was not expecting what was waiting for me there. It looked a little like one of Jack’s Claptrap ponies only it was pink and looked like a dragon. I think it a guy to or a flat chested female Claptrap whatever. I was more interested in the box it/he/she was holding, I’ll have to ask later what it want to be called by.

“Are those for me?” I asked pointing at the box only for the robot to rise it eyebrow at me. I’m not sure if I should find that creepy or weird ever way. I wanted the box I reach out for it only for the pink dragonbot to pull it out of reach. “Hey!"

“This unit requests that you pay the standard fee, for hyperion products.” Jack you dick you still want me to pay after everything that happened!? I sighed and look in the bag of gems by my desk and pull out a hand full.

“How this?” I asked only for the dragon thing to frown at me. “The cost is higher then a hand full of gems.” What? just how much is of what the hell, I don’t care anymore. I put the gems back in the bag and give her the whole thing. The pink dragon blinks at the bag before picking it up and holds the bag out to the beacon and was it gone.

“We good?” I asked and the Claptrap dragon drops the box and kicks it over to me. Huh, he's an odd one. I open the box and the first thing I saw was boxers, with the hyperion logo on them. “Funny Jack, real funny.” I turn back into my human form and found one draw back, there’s no where for my tail to go…

So I make one I tear a hole in them and put them on, next was socks but they had little stars on them. “Really Jack? Whatever.” Once I got them on I then found some baggy trousers, okay now we’re talking, I made a hole in them to. After putting them on I saw a shirt just a blue shirt nothing odd about it really. After that was boots with metal covering the top of them, nice. The last thing I pulled out of the box was a hoody with the hyperion H on the hood.

“You really wanted me to remember your the one that did this for me didn’t you?” I asked myself as I put the jumper on. “Not bad, nice to see it all fits.” I then look back at the pink dragon, on right he was in the room… Well this isn’t awkward at all.

“C.E.O. Jack was right, you have no shame.” I glare at him and flipped him the bird, then looked at my finger. How and when did only showing your middle finger become swearing? That when my stomach growled, man was I hungry.

“Shouldn’t you be going back home or something?” I asked not really sure why the pink dragon was still here. “One more thing, are you male or female, it is really hard to tell with your body shape.” I started making my way to the door and the pink robot dragon was following me… Okay what is going on?!

“This unit find it strange you would ask that of me, am I not up to your standards and request?” I just blink at the pink dragon as we walk down the tunnels. “As to your other question, I am classed with a female Chassis is that not clear by my pink coating?”

I just face palmed at this, Jack what the hell were you thinking? “No not really, your hips are a little famennian but that as far as it go the rest of you, is well. Plain is the only word I can describe it and you didn’t answer my question why are you still here?”

The Claptrap dragon just stared at me with her tight business suit on, I swear it was hugging her ass in just the right way to make it sexy. But I had other things on my mind right now, food was one of them.

“This unit finds it strange you don’t like my design, did you not ask the C.E.O. for this model when making your purchase of this unit?” I stop and look at her, what the hell was she talking about? “What do you mean by ‘purchase of this unit’” I asked wide eyed, Jack just what the hell did you do?!

“Did you not make a request to buy a claptrap unit, with the contract for testing upgrades for all future claptrap lines?” I just stare at her as my eyes get wider and wider, I then shake my head no. The pink dragon held up her hand and play a holo recording.

The scene played back to after that mess, the one Jack’s ‘visit’ came to an end with that ‘Homage’ mare following suit with the mane six and a concerned Chrysalis. but in his rush to try and get rid of her had me literally sign my name on a holographic contract box, waving off even her voiced admissions of my understanding what it all entails.

I was in the forge with Kat, Gear Shift, Marbles and Bronzes Fang working on my body as the main six was getting in the way and being a pain. I asked or as it showed yelled at the mare to get them out and she did after having me sign something else to.

I watch as the holo was gone from the pink dragon palm and blinked up at her. “Soooo, what did I sign on again?” I asked feeling a little worried, just what the hell did I agree to?

“Well for starters, you agreed to the testing of new upgrades for this unit and it other model line types. You also agreed that at anytime if something were to go wrong, there will be no refunds. Not only that, but if you were to destroy or damage this model at any point, mother would be VERY cross with you.”

“Who’s mother?” I asked getting a odd feeling as we start walking again. “The F.A.U.S.T. unit you met when you first came to C.E.O. Jack’s dimension.” I’m screwed, why just why did all the crazy shit have to happen to me, just as we made our way to the pub I had the dogs made I heard a ping.

“What was that?” I asked then looked at the Dragon who was reading something from her palm holo. “I just got a new update.” Oh god no what did Jack send this thing. I hope it’s not something like crazy gun hands or something or the power to kill things with it mind.

“I now have the knowledge to use and make Fabrication of items by Forge, also software update for health care, training exercise and… Massage relax care?” What the fuck Jack. Well at least she's not trying to kill me.

“Okay then…” I walk into the pub seeing all the dogs, ponies and Gilda eating with two griffon’s. Everyone stop what they're doing to look at me, oh right they haven’t seen me in my human form before, well Gilda has. “Hi guys what up?”

I saw that they was not looking at me but what was standing next to me, oh right. “Don’t worry guys this is umm…” Fuck I forgot to ask for a name, that when the dragoness took a step forward and bowed then said this. “I am model type H.O.M.A.G.E. as of now I do not have any other classification.”

“What you don’t have a name?” I asked as she stand straight and looks at me. “No this unit does not.” Right, that really was getting old really fast. “Right, I’ll think of something later.”

“This unit does not like the name ‘Right, I’ll think of something later.’ as it would be a statement from a low minded individual.” I just blink at her, okay she wants a name I’ll give her a name. “Fine then your name is Sister now.”

“But this unit does not think-” I just cut her off. “Your named Sister now, end of story!” I growled. I was in no mood for this I was hungry and needed to eat something. I can see the way she was glaring at me but I don’t care. The Robot Dragoness sighed and bow her head a little. “This unit is now named ‘Sister’ as per ‘request’…”

I smiled at that and go off to get us a table then order some food, I had them make something small for Sister. Me I ordered some Farrow meat I wanted to try and see what it like. “Hey Sister are you okay eating foods I kind of forgot to ask before ordering.”

Before answering me she took a quarter of my meat, eating it suggestively before glaring at me again. “Yes… This unit can eat bio matter and convert it into energy for my needs.” I was getting the weirdest of boners right now. I looked around at the others in the pub, the diamond dogs look on with wide eyes and the ponies were blushing like crazy.

I coughed in my hand before cutting up some meat and looking at it, this came from a thinking living being and I was about to eat apart of them. I just stare at it before shoving it in my mouth, my god, it was so, GOOD! I just grabbed it with my hands and started digging right into it.

“Asphyxious who is this?” I stop what I’m doing with a bit of Farrow meat hanging out of my mouth. I slowly turn around and saw Queen Chrysalis looking down at me not at all happy. I slowly chewed the meat for a minute before swallowing. “Umm, Chrysalis umm hi this is Sister she will be staying with us from now on… I think?”

Chrysalis looked past me and glared at Sister before sitting right next to me then started to lean against me. Okay, no idea what is going on here. I go back to slowly eating my food until I feel the Dragoness Claptrap sit right next to me on my other side then lean on me as well. “What the hell?”

I asked as I look between them, there was some kind of showdown going on between these two and I was in the cross hairs. Jack, just what kind of trouble have you put me in this time. “Ummm girls…” I ask slowly, trying to pick my words carefully, that was until I saw Gilda talking with everyone in the bar.

“Okay I’m taking bet’s who got three to one of the Queen bug!” Oh god damnit Gilda you’re not helping here! I try to lift one of my arms up only for Chrysalis to hug it in a vice like grip. I was about to rise my other arm only for Sister to grab it to, oh no. That when I heard Chrysalis hiss. “He’s mine.”

“By code 342/B87 under protocol 69 of contract ownership he’s mine.” What the hell did all that mean?! Jack what did you put in this robot dragon’s head?!? I didn’t know what was going on but I had to find away to calm these two down and fast.

“Girls…” I say and they both look at me with fire in their eyes, god damn they’re scary. “Let all just calm down and talk this over okay, there is no need to fight okay?” They was not moving just looking up at me with those eyes full of, I wasn’t rightly sure myself. One thing I do know one wrong move from me and I think they would kill me.

That was when Chrysalis was starting to nuzzle me, okay? Then the Dragoness who I named Sister was starting to do it to. Okay I’m freaking out here! “Asphyxious~” They both said in Lustful tones and I was terrified of both of them right now. I look back at the peanut gallery for help but they're all just standing there with little paper’s in their paws,hooves and claws. Oh fuck you guys!

That when I heard a sweet little voice that filled the room. “Mommy, why are you and the pretty dragon cuddling daddy?” I’m saved! I looked to the doorway and saw little Pupa standing there. Oh thank you god!

“Mummy was just showing this ‘Dragoness’ that daddy is mine.” I could hear the growl in Chrysalis throat, I had no idea she could be this intimidating. I could feel Sister holding on tighter to my left arm anymore and I think she will cut off the blood flow. “This unit is also showing that unit Asphyxious is just as much and more so mine then her’s.”

I swear these two are going to get me killed! “So you both like daddy?” Asked Pupa and gave off that cute little head tilt that a puppy would do. Awww, I then turn to the others to find there taking on even MORE bets! what is wrong with you all! HELP ME!

I saw both Chrysalis and Sister look at each other before turning to Pupa and giving her a heartfelt smile. “That is right we both like daddy very much.” Said Sister. Oh god no, I thought as their smiling. “Thats right we both like daddy so much that we’re going to have some alone adult fun time now. Can you be a sweet little queen and play with some of your friends?”

Please don’t go Pupa, you must know the fear I’m feeling right now right? come on kid don’t leave your dad alone with these two crazy girls. Please stay we’ll talk about stuff anything just don’t go please! “Hmmm, okay I don’t know why daddy is really scared but maybe you can make him feel better. bye Mummy, Daddy, Pink Dragon mare!” And just like that, my freedom just walked out the door.

That was when I felt both of them grab at my coch, oh god no. “I told you he’s mine!” Hissed Chrysalis. Oh god someone help me! “I to have claim over him as well, he is also mine by contract!” For fuck sake someone HELP ME!

“Asphyxious I have a message for you from the other clans.” I bolted out of my seat and stand right in front of Rex with a smile I was never more happy that he was here. “Good timing so what the message!” I said with a smile, I dare not look back at the most likely two mad women who will most likely rape me to show who was on top. What am I to them meat or something?

“Umm right, let see here.” Rex unrolls the paper and start to read. “To the alpha named and titled Asphyxious the Iron Lich, the clans have had a meeting to debate the things you have done to aid the Diamond Dog Clans, with your first act as alpha you killed the evil king Sombra.”

Yaeh I remember that I guess, it is a bad idea to tell them he’s now living inside my head now. I never did found out what happened to that axe that was left behind.

“Not only that but word has reached us that you also took on a army of Farrows, something no alpha has done before. At least not alone therefore a large number of clans has decided that you should, no you WILL be now from this day forward be called Asphyxious the King of all Alpha’s. We will hope things get better under your new rule signed, Blood Patch of clan Iron Claws.”

I didn’t move, I didn’t think, I just stand there and let this all sink in. “WHAT THE BLOODY HELL!?!” I screamed at the top of my lungs as I grab the paper and start reading the end part over again myself. No way, this is a joke right? I can’t be a king I don’t know the first thing about being a bloody king!?

“Unit Asphyxious we detect that you’re going into shock we suggest that you calm down or you may pass out.” Said Sister as she slowly walks up to me. Calm down, yeah fucking right, like I can calm down from this!

“Asphyxious calm down everything is going to be fine.” I heard Chrysalis say as everything started to get blurry. Was it just me or was it getting hot in here, I just drop to the floor and lay there for a minute. I saw Rex look down and hold up his hand, paw whatever.

“How many fingers am I holding up?” He asked and I just put my arm over my head. “Rex, just… just get me some water please.” I saw him walk off as I lay on the floor thinking. I saw Gilda, Chrysalis and Sister looking down at me.

“This unit believes we should let unit Asphyxious rest, we will remain on standby if any health complications should happen.” I heard Sister say as I lay on the ground. “Maybe so but I will stay as well after all he is my king.” Said Chrysalis. Gilda was looking between them before smiling and calling out.

“The odds have just been doubled!” I let out a weak laugh, oh if only luna was here.

***Celestia pov. Throne room.***

I was reading a newspaper about the attack that happen last month. But what was my main concern was those strange being that both help fight the monster that attacked canterlot. Also that other me, I’m never going to get used to that let alone the nobles worrying over me and wanting the imposter to be locked up in the dungeon.

I made it clear that she will not be seen again after they went through the portal there was no way to follow them. I then saw Luna walk in when I looked up at her to I saw anger in her eyes. “Luna what’s wrong?” I asked.

“What wrong, what is wrong is what you did to Asphyxious! do you have any kind of idea the damage you have done to his MIND!” My eyes widen at my sister shout. What happened why is my sister so angry? what did she see when she was looking for the Lich unless.

“You found him and entered his dreams?” I asked. Luna didn’t look happy she looked sad as she nod her head slowly. “Did you find out where he is hiding? what his plans are?” I asked as I get up and walked to my little sister’s side.

“Celestia, what I found was not an evil being who would take the souls of the living and use them for himself. What I saw was a broken being, his dream scape was so damaged I could hardly find him. When I did, he dreamed of fishing in a small lake as a small changeling foal sat by his side.” I was shocked by what my sister was saying. By the sounds of it this didn’t sound like the Lich I thought I knew if anything it showed how little I did know about him.

“Luna I think we should have a talk with this Asphyxious is not who I thought he was.” I said as I put my wing around Luna. She smiled but then looked outside the window. “There is something else, Asphyxious has both King Sombra soul and there something else with in his mind. It is not so much evil, as just dark and wild… I have no idea what I’m dealing with sister.”

This was indeed worrying, King Sombra was evil but this other thing my sister is concerned about. I didn’t know what to do then I had an idea. “We must talk with him.” Luna looks at me with large eyes as I said this. “Are you sure about this? Asphyxious may see this as a trick to try and imprison him again.”

“Not if you’re the one who sends him the massage, it most likely he will see me as a threat but not you. You had no hoof in his imprisonment and if things go wrong we will have the element bearers stop him.” I said with a warm smile.

Just then the doors to the throne room burst open and I saw Twilight and her friends gasping for air as they walk in. “Princesses, there was an attack, Elements didn’t work, a ghost with no magic signature!” Yelled Twilight in a breathless panic. “Breathe Twilight, darling remember what happened when you try to talk when you are like this?” Said Said Rarity as she waves a small fan at her.

“What is going on here Twilight, what this about an attack? Is ponyville in danger?” I asked but she shook her head no. I waited for them to catch their breath before answering my questions. “Start from the beginning.” I asked in a motherly tone.

“Okay first we had this super plan to find and fight this evil guy.” Said Rainbow Dash as she hovers in the air. “Then we meet the diamond dogs near ponyville, have them help us find him.” Said Pinkie Pie with a smile.

“We found him, where he lived and I must say that place was filthy.” Added Rarity. “That was when we saw the Changeling queen, oh and Rainbow Dash’s old friend Gilda talking with Mr Asphyxious.” Said Fluttershy as she looks to her other friends.

“That was when we faced him an used the Elements on em, only it didn’t turn em to stone.” Said Applejack. As she looked at Twilight as she looked much calmer now. “There was an attack on his den, monster like pig creatures armed with both clevers and some kind of explosive ‘mini cannons’, I have no IDEA what to do!?” Panicked Trilight as her friends looked at her feeling she left out some parts like what happened to Asphyxious.

“Come on Twi it wasn’t that bad.” Said Rainbow Dash. Twilight just turned at her friend and gave her the evil eye. “One of those things tried to eat US!” She yelled.

“Alright calm down let us all have some tea, Luna and I have much to talk about with you and you with us. For one thing did Asphyxious say anything about displaced.” That got a reaction from all of them. “He did say somethin’ about that why?” Said Applejack as she looked at us.

“Because we met some and ourselves from another equestria who didn’t like what was done to Asphyxious tell me did you hear about the attack on Canterlot?” I asked. This was followed by a look of shock by my little ponies.

“Canterlot was attacked?! what about my family are they okay!?” Twilight was hanging from my neck it saddens me sometimes when she get like this. “They are fine and safe one of these displaced beings had powerful magic under their control. She made a copy of canterlot for the beast to roam through and no pony was harmed… apart from BlueBlood.” Luna Said as she rolls her eyes at our newfou.

“Oh there was somepony else there as well, Asphyxious called him Jack I think. There was this strange Pegasus mare with them who walked on two legs. Not only that but she had paws like Asphyxious only less like metal claws. Oh she had gray fur, mane and tail. ” Said Fluttershy as she fly up to me. That sounded very strange for a pony.

“I want to know just how fast that stuck up is, so what if her wings are bigger, I am more awesome and faster than anypony.” Said Rainbow Dash sounding a little upset.

“I on the other hoof loved Mr Handsome’s alien fashion, I could maybe use his outfit for a number of ideas for my new line. It’s bold, it’s cutting edge, it is telling me ‘look out world here I come!’.” Rarity was going off about this Jack. I looked to Applejack and she looked unhappy about hearing his name.

“That fella was a no good liar, a sneaky varmint and a snake in the grass if you ask me, I don’t like em no sir.” This was the first time I heard her speak so negatively about somepony. I looked to Twilight and found she had a list of notes in front of her. This reminded me of when she was in the School for gifted unicorns.

“Okay I’m good now.” I could not help but smile as she started to explain all that happened to them, the part about the elements turning Asphyxious into a living being was a shock for me and my sister. She then went into great detail about this new body, as well as the only hair on his body was his head and above his genitals. She then talked about his dragon like tail with a blade like scale on the end. She then notes with details about the fact he did not have a sheath.

I felt a blush come to my cheeks I noticed the other girls were blushing too, apart from twilight who was going on with her lecture ‘mode’. “My main concern is when Chrysalis took him away somewhere, as a small changeling Foal explained they were and I quote going off to have 'adult fun time’” I blink at Twilight as she deadpanned at this, it was a lot to take in.

“This is interesting, could Asphyxious be some kind of 'offshoot' of a draconic parentage who got cursed?” Luna idly wondered out loud.

“Sorry Luna but from what Asphyxious said he expected this to happen. Not only that but later the one called Jack who was a corpse, then appeared in the two hoof walking pegasus mare homage’s paw and started talking to us… I will find out what you are you little.” Twilight said the last part to herself in a barely audible mumble.

“Girls maybe we should get back to the point where the piggies show up and Jackey try to shot me with his funny cannon thing and those two things that look like Jackie but way bigger and they were laughing at what was happening, then they talked about Twilight dating Asphyxious they laughed really hard about that.” Pinkie Pie said to everyone.

I saw my faithful student Twilight Sparkle give her friend a hard stare, before looking away with a light blush. Oh my was she really interested in the Iron Lich? Maybe if she is willing to go back maybe we can get him to come here and talk. I’m also concerned about what Twilight feelings are to the Lich. “Girls would you be willing to go back and see if you can get Asphyxious to come to canterlot?”

“WHAT!?” The Element bears said at the same time. “But we just came back from there!” protested Rainbow Dash.

“Not to worry, we have another idea that could be useful. We will send a squad of ponies to deliver an invitation​ to him to ever come to either canterlot or ponyville. The squad will bring back his response and we will meet him there.” I said to them all.

“How do you know he’s going to come?” Asked Applejack. I looked out the window and thought about that. “Because I want to tell him I am sorry.”
