I was tending to Derpy's wound while she was asleep to lessen the pain of the process as I peeled off the blood stained leather that got my bloodlust on a bit, but not enough to flip my blade out, and kill Derpy on the spot. I finished patching Derpy up as she started to wake up. "Hello Roy. has anything happened since I fell asleep?"

"No Derpy nothing has happened other than me changing your bandages for fresh ones." I told her. Both of us started hearing squeaking extremely distant, and far. "Derpy stay here I will go check what it is don't strain yourself please I don't want you getting hurt anymore." I tell while she nods a yes.

I put a mark in the dirt on the ground allowing me to teleport back to the room whenever needed. I head down the corridor where I hear the sound originating from. The squeaking gets louder, and softer for some reason. "Hello Roy I hope you are at your best right now or you're gonnaaaaaa diiiiie" I hear Discord's voice ringing in my head as a bit of shadow ponies arise from the ground with no face just a body built for fighting.

I fly a bit upwards, and stand on my back hooves as Lyra taught me when I was a bit younger. I knocked a few of them back with my large wings, but there had to be at least eight of them attacking me at once from my left, and right. I manage to flip my blade out of the leather bracelet, and slip it into a shadow pony's face shattering their skull, and brain if they have one. I pick up two more of them, and toss them at the rest from both sides, One got close enough for me to kick it down, and smash it's skull into pieces by stepping on it while I used magic to increase the gravity on my hoove to slam down on their skull. Surprisingly they have blood, so they body starts to gush out massive amounts of blood starting to clump trying to stop the bleeding from the already dead shadow pony. My bloodlust begins to fill my eyes with red, but this time I let flow, and finish the fight for me. I approach two shadow ponies trying to get up, I step on them both until they both are practically gurgling for their lives. I sink downwards, and put my blade into one of their hearts, and hacked, and slashed their face so many times you couldn't even tell they were a pony. I sink back down onto four hooves as my back hooves start hurt from standing on two dead shadow ponies. I hold four shadow ponies in place that were charging me with my magic, and I buck the last one down, and slam it into the earth with increased gravity from my back hooves. All that is left of that pony is just a few arms, and one head rolling across the ground. I stand on my back hooves, and approach the last four. A smile creeps onto my face as I jab one of my hooves into the first one, and rip out most of their intestines onto the floor. As my bloodlust loses effect I turn the last three into puddles of blood by pushing gravity against them enough to make anypony a puddle of pudding.

I had not realized this until it was too late but the squeaking had gotten extremely loud. I tried to clean myself up before the squeaking got to me, but it was no use, because the pony that rounded the corner looked at me with confusion. "Roy?" Fluttershy asked me as I stared towards her.

"Yes it's me. reason why i'm covered in a bit of blood is, because Discord sent some shadow ponies to kill me." I tell her assuring her I wouldn't kill her

"That explains all the dead pony bodies I guess." Fluttershy said a bit overwhelmed by my strength after most of my power being drained by discord.

I walk up to Fluttershy, and start to cast a spell before she could have a chance to argue we both teleport back into the room where Derpy is still at fixing her mane preparing to get up. "Well Roy thanks for what you have done, because while you were out doing whatever my wound has healed up enough to the point where it barely bothers me." Derpy says approaching us.

"That's a good thing, because we will be able to cover more ground, and search for anyone else in this maze cavern thing Discord created." I say starting to lay down by a nearby wall tired out from my recent endeavor against those eight shadow ponies.

"Why are you all tired out? it was just one trip to find her." Derpy says pointing at Fluttershy with a hoove.

"Well if you didn't know Roy was drained of most of his power, and energy from Discord a while ago plus he just had to fight off a bit of shadow ponies so Roy deserves a bit of a rest, because if he hadn't come to find me those shadow ponies might have come for me." Fluttershy says for me in my defense.

"Well i'm heading out to go look for other ponies." Derpy says to both of us turning towards the corridor to the right of me.

"Wait.Hold it. I need to teach you both some hoove magic that can make a teleport location to one place that you place a mark at." I tell them while showing them how to do the magic, and then how to make the mark on the ground. They both place the mark in the room since neither of them has their wings to get out of trouble quickly. "Well I am going to take a slight nap to regain my energy, and after that i'm gonna go searching once more." I lay my head down as Derpy runs down a corridor with a fading alright.

"Well if your gonna take a nap i'm gonna take one too Roy." Fluttershy says laying down next to me placing her head on my neck. I could feel her heartbeat, and her breathing starting to match mine, but as I start to slip into her sleep her heartbeat raises a little bit as she pecks me on the cheek, and in my ear she tells me "Thanks for coming for me Roy."With that we ended what I thought to be night.

I woke up much later to Fluttershy snoring in my ear, and Derpy sitting near asleep. I slip out from under Fluttershy, and gently lay her head down onto the ground with my wings. After that I head into the corridor right across from me, but this time danger was right around the corner as something pink slammed me back as I rounded the corner. I sat slumped against the wall a bit dazed as out of all the ponies i could meet right now approaches me. "Well hello Roy nice to see you again, but this time we have some unfinished business since you are now mature enough. I will be taking a bit of a ride on your cock if you don't mind right? Of course you don't mind your a stallion, but once i'm done with you I will rip your cock, and balls off Roy." Pinkamena Diane Pie says approaching me

As I finally realize what she means as she starts to stroke me I push her back with a blast of magic, and air from my wings. "Oh. Buck. NO!" I roar getting up as she is a bit frazzled from the blast of my wings, and horn.

"Of all the things Discord forgets to do. He forgot to take away your horn, and wings." Pinkamena said to me with a gleam of annoyance in her eyes.

"Pinkie Discord can't, because I can change from an alicorn to any kind of pony I want." I tell her as Fluttershy, and Derpy peek their heads around the corner.

"Roy! What are you doing to Pinkie!" Fluttershy says walking up to me, and stands between both of us.

"Well if you were here a few minutes ago you would have seen her trying to rape me then rip my crotch off."

"And I thought all stallions enjoyed sex way too much." Pinkie mutters a bit loud.

"Well I will just excuse myself from this awkward conversation." Derpy says backing out of the corridor

"I have an idea though for you Pinkie I might be able to teleport you out of this maze with the magic I have, but it will take a lot of my strength to do so." I tell her walking up to her past Fluttershy.

"Do it I wanna get out of this hell hole anyway." Pinkie says urging me on as her hair starts fluffing up again. Ignoring that I start to pour my strength into my horn as it glows brighter it starts to light everything up. I close my eyes, and everypony blocks it out with their hooves. At the peak of my horns strength pinkie disappeared

"It Worked!" I screamed as I slump against the wall. "That definitely drained me, but not enough to stop me from going on that search I said I was gonna go on." I tell Fluttershy as she rushes over to me.

"Well maybe you shouldn't push yourself so hard all the time Roy." Fluttershy suggests sitting next to me

"Flutters if I can do this i'm pretty sure I can teleport you, and Derpy out of here right now so you can get back to your life's and not stay in here for my mistake." I tell her as she starts to lay her head on my shoulder rubbing up against me.

"Nah I think I will stay here, and help you search for the other ponies trapped in this maze." Fluttershy tells me as I lift my head upwards so i'm staring at the ceiling.

"You know Fluttershy you are the friend that has always been there for me when I needed comforting or some company, and I never said thanks all those times did I? No. So let me just say this now. Thank you for always sticking by me when I need you." I look at her, and hug her with a bit of a squeeze as she hugs back.

"You two done? or are you just gonna forget about your little search Roy." Says Derpy butting in. "Because correct me if i'm wrong Roy you said that you were still gonna search after casting that spell." Derpy tells me with a stern look on her face.

"Alright alright i'm getting up, and going just stop sheesh no need to arrest me." I say letting go of Fluttershy. "By the way Derpy if you want me to I can teleport you out of here right now." I tell her.

"I have to stay i'm looking for a pony who disappeared right in front of me before all of this happened." After she said that she ran off in the opposite corridor.

"Well Flutters you coming with?" I ask her as we get up, and she answers with a simple nod yes. We start down the corridor with not much happening until I hear voices in the distant. I remember I have tracking magic so I decide to use it when I see 4 shadow ponies heading our way, because they are blocking some kind of cell. "Fluttershy stay here I have to kill more shadow ponies it will get bloody, and I don't want you seeing me like that.

"Ok Roy just tell me when it's all over." Fluttershy says taking a seat by the wall.

I run around a few corners until I run into a hoove blocking my path. I rub my face as I feel the horseshoe I just ran into. I get up, and see my enemies lining up to take me down. There numbers were way higher than I thought, because there was 15 of them ready to kill. I got on my back hooves ready for a fight.

They all rushed me at once since all of us were in a large room it would have to take strategy to kill them all, I could also feel two pairs of eyes staring at me from the cell over there these shadow ponies were guarding. I kicked one back, and inserted the blade into it's head as it flipped out of it's hiding place, but after the first kill I was overtaken by 3 of them as they pushed me back, and bucked me a few times in the chest with their back hooves. I used my wings to defend against most of the attacks they threw at me. When I finally got the chance I blew them all back as I opened my wings, and switched to the attack. I slip the blade into the nearest shadow pony's arm, but the strike wasn't fatal enough to kill it.

I was backed up against a wall keeping  them at bay with the one blade I had since I didn't have time to make another. Things took a turn for the worse as one of them got close enough to slip my blade off my arm, and stab me immediately in the wing since I blocked the fatal hit to the chest. My wing was dribbling blood in a steady stream. It had to be the best time to see what my bloodlust could actually do.

I pushed them all back with a wave of magic before I raise my wing above my head to drip a drop of blood into my mouth. As I swallowed the bloodlust my eyes immediately filled up with red, and all I could see was just a constant blood red. I also change from an alicorn to an earth pony unable to restrain my bloodlust from doing so. The shadow ponies were already upon, but this time they were confused with my sudden change in nature. I rush the first one who kept coming closer, and closer with my flip blade. Before I ran into him I got onto my back hooves with my rushing force, and launched his arm off from his torso. With no chance to react I kick my hoove through it's torso.

I walk over to my blade on the dead shadow pony's arm. My horn grows back, and levitates it onto my top right hoove. "So who is the lucky first to die next?" I say hinting amusement as they start to fall back, and run out of the room. "I never get any fun when Roy lets me take charge sheesh." After I had said that my eyes drain completely of the redness, and my wings come back.

I call to Fluttershy to come into the room. "Roy did you really have to rip it's arm off then kick it through the torso?" Fluttershy asks me rounding the corner, and seeing the body on the ground. "Now this place is a terrible mess, and it grosses me out." Fluttershy tells me once more as she walks over to the cage.

"Sorry I can't control myself when my instinct kicks in." I tell her trying to hide my bloodlust.

"Whatever Roy, but what is in this cage?" She asks curiously.

"Let's see what's in the cage then flutters." I tell her walking over to it as well. I place my hoove inside, and slowly start ripping the bars out of the wall with the help of my non-injured wing, and a bit of magic. After a few grueling minutes of pulling on the metal bars they fall out of their sockets as I throw them to the left away from both of us.

"Hello is anypony in there?" Fluttershy asks peeking a head in. A bluish black pony, and a royal white pony walk out of the cage looking at me.

"Roy is that you. Actually you or is Discord pulling another trick. Said Celestia a bit scared.

"It is me Celestia I didn't mean for us to meet like this after all these years in some dark dangerous place." I tell Celestia, and Luna as they both walk closer to get a closer look.

"There is no doubt Celestia this is Roy. The Prince has finally returned." Luna says perking up in a happy tone partially bouncing around.

"Well lets get back to a safe place we need to catch up, and exchange a few words." I tell them both as my horn starts glowing the teleportation magic. When we are back in the  room where I placed the mark of teleportation. "I can teleport both of you out of here if you wish it will just take a moment." I tell them getting back in my spot I fell asleep in the last time I was in the room.

"No Roy I think we will stay, and help out everyone in ponyville, and canterlot castle." Said Celestia answering for them both.

"Well then it's settled the five of us will rescue everyone from this terrible place Discord created." I tell them as Derpy teleports into the room.

"Why is there so much royalty in this room?" She asks a bit overwhelmed.

"Because Derpy we are all helping to get ponyville, and canterlot castle back from Discord." Luna answered her tiredly as she start laying down next to celestia.

"Celestia, Luna you both know the teleportation spell for hoove magic right?" They both nod when I finish my sentence, and place the mark down nearby themselves. "I have had a rough time today i'm going to sleep." I tell them laying down in my usual place where Fluttershy joins me.

"Take the rest we saw you take on all those shadow ponies from our cell." Celestia tells me with her eyes closed.

"When we all wake up we all need to go into separate corridors." I tell them, but at this Luna raises her head, and answers me quickly.

"No Roy we must stay together three alicorns are stronger than one even if we don't have our wings or horn we are still strong Roy." Luna tells me laying her head back down.

"I might be able to cast a spell to overpower Discords to bring your horn, and wings back, but it's just a possibility. I tell them slipping into sleep, but my only answer is a grunt from Celestia as she is falling asleep as well.

Finally reunited with my sisters what a wonderful thing, but I just hope they don't think i'm a threat, because they saw my bloodlust from the cell. Oh I hope they don't. Next Chapter: Discord's growing strength. Estimated time remaining: 22 Minutes
