I stood in front of a pair of doors that lead to a room where I must face something. I was armed with both Whispering Wind and my shield and I had my hood over my head. I stood ready to face an opponent I should have fought long ago.

"Are you sure about this Ash this doesn’t need to be done," Faust said as she stood behind me along with the knights.

"No Faust this needs to end I don't trust myself with it and I can feel it's getting stronger," I said all of a sudden I felt a hand on my shoulder I looked to see it was Link.

"Know this he knows every move you know and he has some of his own so he will be your toughest opponent yet," Link said.

I gave Link a nod before I stepped forward and placed my hands on the doors ahead of me. I pushed the door open and I was greeted by a bright light. I shielded my eyes from the light and walked inside. I kept my eyes shielded until the light faded and I saw I was in a dimly lit room. The floor was covered in water and a large thick tree stood on a small island in the centre of the room and the roots crept into the water. The doors closed behind me and I took a deep breath before I calmly walked forward my eyes gazing at the space around me. I continued my walk forward and past the tree till I reached the other side of the room only to find nothing. I then looked at my feet and gazed into the water but the only problem was nothing was gazing back. There was no reflection or anything. I turned around and saw something leaning against the tree the figure was dark and had its arms folded across its chest just quietly staring at me. The figure had no weapons but was wearing the same clothing as me only they were all black. I stared at the figure in silence before I took my hood of revealing my face to the figure. The figure did the same revealing a familiar face with red eyes and sharp teeth and silver hair that looked like mine. I was staring at my nightmare form.

"It's time we ended this," I said as I drew Whispering Wind and my shield.

My nightmare form responded by pushing of the tree and as he took a step forward and disappeared leaving a ripple across the water but I saw it coming. I managed to block his claws from killing me I followed up the attack with smashing my shield into his side sending him skidding across the water. I ran up to him and thrusted while he was still on the ground but he disappeared into the water so my blade hit nothing. I looked around the room franticly I then looked at the branches of the tree to see nothing before I looked down. On the trees reflection on the branches was my nightmare form I stared at it before the nightmare jumped out of the tree and burst out of the water in front of me and into the air. He came down on me and prepared his claws but I used my shield to block him and then used Whispering Wind to try and cut him but he just back flipped off my shield before I could cut him. As soon as his feet touched the ground I thrusted Whispering Wind at him but he just leapt on to my blade and held his balance perfectly before he flipped over me and slashed me in the back. I grunted in pain from his attack before I smashed my shield into him just as he landed and attacked him. But, he just blocked me again he then kicked water into my face before he slashed at me only for me to block him before I leapt over him and rolled across his back and slashed at his left leg. I felt pain in my leg but I assumed it was just because of the landing before I attacked my nightmare form with lightning speed. He managed to doge or block many of my attacks but he took a few hits himself and I kept going till I had his back against the tree. Once that happened I thrusted Whispering Wind into his left arm pinning him before I punched him in the face. But, the odd thing is I also felt the punch yet he didn't do anything. I looked at my darker self in confusion while he looked at me in anger I then looked at all the damage I did to him then at myself to see I had his wounds and he had mine. Every attack against him was an attack against me. My mind was filled with questions on what I did now it was doubtful he was going to let me live and I couldn't kill or chain him without doing it to myself. I gazed into my nightmare forms eyes and he gazed back at me I finally realised what I needed to do I took a step away and pulled Whispering Wind out of his arm and backed away from my nightmare form. My nightmare form stood up and got into a battle stance but I simply sheathed Whispering Wind and my shield causing my nightmare form to tilt his head in confusion but still remained in his stance. I then simply offered my hand for a handshake and my nightmare form just stared blankly at me before he lost his stance and walked over to me. His right claw disappeared leaving behind a hand before he accepted my hand once he grasped mine there was a bright light coming from our hands before he vanished. I flexed my fingers before I looked at the water to see my reflection smiling back at me before I walked over to the doors I pushed the doors open and I was met with Faust and the knights.

"I can see your battle was a fierce one Ash," Link said.

"More like fierce on myself," I said.

"So what happened?" Arno asked.

"I couldn't destroy him without destroying myself so I was left with one option accept him," I said gaining surprised looks from the knights and Faust.

"You accepted him?" Faust asked in surprise.

"Um yeah is that a bad thing?" I asked.

"No it's just not what I was expecting," Faust said.

"Okay well what's next on my training schedule?" I asked.

"Clearly you haven't been keeping track," Corvo said.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"It's time for you to go home Ash," Faust said.

"What! None of you are messing with me are you?" I asked excitedly.

"No Ash we're...," Altair started only for him and the knights to grimace in pain and flicker before they went back to normal.

"Are you all alright?" I asked.

"Ash something is happening in the temple you need to get down there and stop it," Arno said before the knights vanished.

"What the heck is going on?" I asked.

"Like they said Ash something has happened in the temple I must return you to your body," Faust said.

"Understood and Faust I still intend to keep my promise," I said.

Faust's only response was a nod before my vision went blank.

I opened my eyes to see the dust of the moon at my feet I looked outside to see the starlit sky and I could see one of the three solar systems in front of me as it lined up. Suddenly, two beams for energy shot into the distant sun in front of me and the solar system began to glow. A beam of energy suddenly, shot into the cave hitting the chains holding me. I could feel the energy in my body grow the beam of energy from the three harmonic convergences finally broke the chains. I stood up and stretched my body gaining a serious amount of painful pops. I grinned as I managed to finally move my body I then exploded out of the cave leaving behind a massive dust storm before I turned around and flew towards Equis. I was flying so fast I looked like a meteor I continued my flight across the planet until I reached the sun lit side of the planet. I entered the atmosphere and the fire intensified but I slowed down when I saw the Everfree forest come into view I aimed for the centre of the anti-magic zone where the lake should be I went through the barrier. The lake came into view I tucked my legs in and created an enormous splash with steam rising into the air from the fiery re-entry. I resurfaced and took a few deep breaths glad to have air fill my lungs once more and I took a large drink of the water. Once I had my fill I swam over to the temple and did not stop till I reached the edge once I got out of the water every part of my body hurt. I lay in the sand exhausted before I regained my strength and the pain durned into a dull throb. I stood up and looked around to see part of the ground and trees were burning. I thought about what I could do to stop the fire then I remembered Faust told me the anti-magic field around this place was weakened because of the harmonic convergence so the anti-magic zone couldn't neutralize my magic. Acting immediately I used my magic to gather as much water as possible from the lake and drowned the fires with it. Once the fire was stopped I then saw Slender on the ground badly injured.

"Slender are you alright?" I asked as I ran over to him and kneeled at his side.

"Ash Blade what are you doing here? You’ve certainly changed for one thing that's quite a lot of hair," Slender said.

"Listen I don't have time to worry about my hair or how much there is of it now are you alright?" I asked again.

Slender's response was by his wounds healing and him standing up along with me.

"Nothing I won't survive," Slender said.

"I was told some trouble was happening here by the knights what did this?" I asked.

"Demons and War Sword the demons made off with several items while War Sword escaped and fought me and set fire to this place. I made sure to send the animals into hiding till the situation is under control," Slender said.

"I need to get to the knights room is there any other way to get in besides the main doors?" I asked.

"War Sword made a giant hole in the roof so you can get in through there," Slender said.

"Thanks," I said before I flew up to the domed roof I found the giant hole and flew in.

I saw the room was a mess overturned bookshelves and destroyed cases I flew over to the raised platform and saw the knight’s remains were scattered all over the place. I used my magic to fix up the skeletons and to put out any fires in the area before I looked around for any opponents that stayed behind.

"Ash."

I turned around and saw the knights were all in front of their skeletons and looking at me.

"War Sword escaped and the demons took many objects," I said.

"We know they took several prisons and the Necroidion with them no doubt they plan to hand that foul book over to Groger," Ezio said.

"We also sense that War Sword is attacking Canterlot along with several other creatures from the Everfree forest," Link said

"Then I better go after them," I said as I turned to leave.

"Hold on Ash there is something we want you to have," Arno said causing me to raise an eyebrow at the ghost.

Third Person P.O.V Canterlot

Celestia was lying on the ground in the throne room her once white beautiful fur had black patches on it her siblings were also badly beaten along with the bearers of the Elements of Harmony. Eris stood next to the heavily pregnant Cadence Shining Armour was struggling to stand up while the burning alicorn War Sword watched while many of the royal guard in the room were injured dead or dying. Spike, Rage and the stallions were in Canterlot city fighting a large mass of monsters.

"Is this what the great city of Canterlot has to offer me weak soldiers that don't know how to fight," War Sword taunted.

"Stay back whoever you are if not you'll be sorry," Eris said.

"I have no interest in talking to you freak unless you can stand against me," War Sword said.

Eris's anger fumed she summoned her nun chucks and charged at War Sword once she was in range she swung them at War Sword only for War Sword to catch them and head-butt Eris knocking her out.

"Tell me where is the sixth knight he promised me a duel and I'm waiting," War Sword said.

"He's not here he has been banished to the moon because he was possessed you'll be waiting a long time before he returns," Celestia said.

"Possessed huh then it appears I got excited over nothing if the knight can't stop a being from possessing him then he's not worth my time," War Sword said.

"At least he has a heart something you don't have," Luna said.

War Sword glared at Luna before he walked over to her and grabbed her by the throat and lifted her into the air.

"I think I'll leave you as an example to Ash Blade for wasting my time," War Sword said as he drew a flaming sawtooth cutlass from his belt.

All of a sudden Pinkie started shuddering.

"Pink please tell me that ain't what I think it is," Applejack said.

"I'm afraid it is it’s a doozy," Pinkie said.

"A doozy now all of all times," Twilight said in shock.

"Whatever it is it's certainly a big one," Pinkie said while shuddering all of a sudden her tail started twitching. "TWITCHY TAIL!"

All of a sudden a part of the roof broke and fell every eye in the room watched as an object fell along with the stone rubble. A large dust cloud covered the area and War Sword released Luna from his grasp and walked closer to the mess. The dust settled and the fallen object looked metal all of a sudden music bleared to life and the object moved the thing stood up to reveal a figure wrapped in a strange armour.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAw-EFuwC3A

The noticeable qualities of the figure were the feather and webbed wings that shot open on the figures back, the sword and shield on the figures back and the helmet that covered the figures face looked like the one that was damaged by Tirek. Except this one was the same colour as the armour on the figures torso.

"ASH!" everyone screamed.

"So you finally show yourself let's see if your strong enough to face my army," War Sword said as minions made of flaming armour appeared around Ash. The group watched with worry as War Swords minions circled Ash like a pack of. Ash drew Whispering Wind and waited. Suddenly, all the minions all pounced on Ash but Ash quickly spun around while holding Whispering Wind outward. The sword gave of a golden glow as Ash spun creating a golden hurricane that cut everything it touched to pieces wowing the onlookers. "Impressive," War Sword said before he snapped his fingers summoning more minions.

One of the minions was extremely tall and wore black heavy armour and carried a massive sword and shield and carried a rapier on its hip the armoured figure then made a few large swings with its sword to show its strength Ash remembered Link telling him about this creature and told him that it was called a darknut.

"Quite the beast is it not he may not be the real thing but I've seen enough pictures and read enough information about them to know what they can do," War Sword said.

"Then that's a real shame," Ash finally spoke much to War Swords confusion. "Because I fought the real thing for practice."

Ash ran at the darknut cutting down any armoured figures that got in his way before he faced the darknut the darknut brought his sword down on Ash but Ash simply dodged to the side and bashed his shield into the darknut stunning. Ash then leaped up and over the darknut while doing a front flip and cutting the darknut's helmet in two before he landed behind the darknut and slashed the parts that were holding the armour together before the darknut turned to face him. The darknut swung faster but not fast enough allowing Ash to dodge and cut the straps holding the shield to his arm. With its defences broken the darknut leapt away from Ash and threw it's sword at him before it drew its rapier disregarding the scabbard. Ash ran at the darknut while the sword was flying at him and got to his knees and leaned his body backwards resulting Ash to skid under the blade before he stood up and continued his run. The darknut ran at Ash with great speed and swung its sword at Ash but Ash bashed his attack away with his shield before he thrusted Whispering Wind into the darknut’s chest. The darknut moved away from Ash as he moved away from it. The darknut held the hand that was holding the rapier over its wound while the other went limp. The darknut let out a few weak grunts before it stumbled around and raised it sword at Ash before it dropped it and fell to its knees and hit the floor. The darknut then turned black and disappeared in a puff of purple smoke along with its armour shield and swords the onlookers were memorized by what happened and Ash then turned to War Sword.

“Let’s find out who’s stronger shall we,” Ash said.

“Just make sure you make it interesting,” War Sword said.

The two moved with impossible speeds at each other their weapons sending sparks across the room. The two were evenly matched when it came to sword fighting War Sword fired three bolts of fire from his flaming horn but Ash leaned side to side to avoid the first two and swung Whispering Wind horizontally sending the last fire ball back to War Sword. The ball of fire hit War sword and sent him back a few feet and was surprised by the attack. Ash twirled Whispering Wind around in the air in a taunting fashion which enraged War Sword. He then lunged at Ash but Ash simply stepped backwards to avoid the attack before he attacked War Sword with both grace and ease. The fight continued with Ash simply stepping out of the way when War Sword attacked making War Sword angrier. War Sword had finally had enough and thrusted his sword at Ash but Ash simply jumped into the air and landed on the blade and the pair held that position the fire not bothering Ash at all. Ash then kicked War Sword in the face and back flipped off the blade and looked at War Sword while he held a hand on his face. War Sword looked at Ash in anger before he took his hand away from his helmet head to reveal a large crack in it. War Sword then summoned a minion behind Ash the minion went to attack but Ash simply spun around and destroyed the flaming armour.

"Ash look out!" Twilight cried.

The warning came too late as War Sword cut off Ash's entire right arm Ash cried in pain before he turned to War Sword.

"That was a dirty move I thought you had honour," Ash said.

"Sometimes you must play dirty to win a match," War Sword said.

"Then I hope you don't mind if I return the favour," Ashe said before tendrils made of blood rushed out of the wound and grabbed War Sword by the throat.

The tendrils threw War Sword away and the group watched in shock as the blood grabbed the severed arm from where it was cut and pulled back into its proper place. Ash then tested his arm and saw everything was back in working order and the wound along with the armour repaired itself before he turned to see War Sword was up and had Cadence hostage.

"I don't know what that was but I am not going back in a cage so here's what's going to happen here is I'm going to leave and if you try to stop me or follow me this bitch and her child die you got that," War Sword said.

"You know there's something behind you," Ash said.

"Oh please you must think I'm a novice that is the oldest trick in the book" War Sword said.

"Who said I was trying to trick you," I said.

War Sword gave a confused look before he looked behind him and as fast as lightning his sword was knocked out of his hands and he was lifted up into the air by the throat. The figure holding him was a shadow with red eyes the shadow then threw War Sword into the centre of the room where Ash teleported into War Sword's path and kicked War Sword to the ground and Ash landed on War Sword with Whispering Wind piercing War Sword’s chest.

"You know you can't kill me so that only leaves imprisonment but that won't hold me I'll just break out again and again till one day Equestria is engulfed by war," War Sword said.

"I know that's why you’re going somewhere where you defiantly won't be able to break out of but don't worry you'll have company so you won't be lonely," I said as I stood up while holding War Sword. "When you get to the void realm do me a solid and tell Nightmare I said hi."

With the words said Ash's eyes lit up with fire I stared at War Sword as he screamed in pain from the fire Ash was controlling. The flames consumed him and before anyone knew it he was gone Ash turned towards the shadow who walked over to War Sword's sword and tossed it to Ash which Ash caught the blade and teleported it off to be taken care of later. Ash then looked back at the shadow and watched it sink into the ground and attached itself to Ash's feet again.

Ash's P.O.V

I looked at my shadow and tested to see if it was fully attached before I looked at the group only for Pinkie Pie to run at me and wrap me in a bone crushing hug but thing was I couldn't feel the pain.

"Nice to see you too Pinks but I've still got to save Canterlot," I said as I squeezed Pinkie once I released her it looked like she was the one out of breath.

I spread my wings and flew out of the hole I made earlier and viewed the situation. There were about 12 giant cockatrice attacking Canterlot and I saw Rage having a hard time dealing with two. I flew down and thrusted Whispering Wind unto a cockatrice's head and landed on the ground behind Rage I then created a silver shotgun that had a skull with sharp teeth on the barrel out of the blood of the cockatrice. The shotgun was tossed into the air and I caught it by the fore-end and gave it a pump to load it.

"RAGE CATCH!" I yelled out before I tossed the shotgun to Rage.

Rage caught the shotgun by the handle and aimed it at the cockatrices head before he pulled the trigger. Fire shot of the barrel blowing the cockatrices head clean off Rage looked at the shotgun in awe before he turned to me I gave Rage a two finger salute. Suddenly, I heard something being thrown into the air I looked at the object to see it was a car that's right a car.

The car hit the ground and formed an explosion I stared at the burning wreck in wonder before I looked at the cockatrice that threw it.

"You just don't do that to a nice car and expect to get away with it," I said before I flew over to the cockatrice and used Whispering Wind to cut its head off. I then landed on a roof and looked around at the 9 other cockatrices and decided to end this. I raised my hand into the air and the sky went dark I could hear thunder rumble just then, a cockatrice came up and roared in my face. “Go to hell and take your friends with you,” I said before I brought my hand down.

Lightning fell upon each and every cockatrice frying them. Once I cut the lightning the dark clouds disappeared and remaining cockatrices fell extra crispy and dead I suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell off the roof. Luckily someone caught me then heard someone talking but couldn't make out what it was before everything went dark.

"Looks like he's coming around."

I slowly opened my eyes to see everypony looking at me with concerned looks.

"Hey guys what's happening?" I asked

"Dude what was that out there I've never seen anything like that before," Comet said.

"And what was all that back in the throne room?" Chrysalis asked.

"Hey give Ash some breathing room," Celestia said getting everyone to back away from me.

"Thanks Celestia and I gotta say re-entry was a bitch every single part of my body hurts even talking hurts because I haven't used my voice for so long," I said.

"What do you mean Ash," Caramel said.

"I was chained to the moon so well I couldn't move at all there was no air no water and no food the only thing that was keeping me alive was the chains holding me," I said causing the mane 6 to look away from me in guilt. "I know what you 6 are thinking and I want you to know it wasn't your fault."

"Thanks for trying to cheer us up Ash but it won't work," Rainbow said.

"No it really wasn't it was a healing process I had to go through to weaken Nightmares hold on me," I said causing the group to look at me in confusion.

"What are you saying Ash?" Dream Catcher asked.

"When I was sent to the moon the same way you and Luna were it was because Nightmare had dug himself in so deep in only a few seconds the Elements of Harmony were not strong enough to sever the connection. So they had to weaken Nightmare's hold by cutting Nightmare off from any magic he could feed on and the only place that could do that was the moon. Weakening the connection doesn't take that long only around a month or so but the way back is harder to achieve because the door only opens, either when the stars come into alignment or when three harmonic convergences happen all at once like today. If you take a moment to sense the magic in the air you can see the magic has boosted dramatically," I said.

"He's right the magic is stronger," Discord said.

"That explains how the cockatrices got so large and War Swords escape," Shining said.

"So girls you have nothing to be sorry for you actually helped me," I said with a smile.

The girls smiled at me before they wrapped me in a hug.

"Now darling I don't mean to be rude but you really need a shower," Rarity said.

"Yeah I guess I do need a clean-up huh," I said as I released the girls.

"I like that line of silver that's running through your hair though how'd you get it like that?" Rainbow asked.

"What are you talking about," I asked.

Rarity created a hand held mirror and handed it to me I could see I had one hell of a beard and my hair reached my shoulders and a silver line cut through the black in my hair and reached the end of my fringe over my right eye.

"Whoa I really need a trim how soon can you have a barber here Celestia?" I asked.

"As soon as you can stand," Celestia said.

I looked down to see I was in my casual clothes and got off the bed I gave a smile to everyone before my stomach growled loudly begging to be filled with food.

"Damn I forgot I haven't eaten anything in 9 months," I said clutching my stomach in pain.

"You just wait sugarcube as soon as your fixed up I'm gonna give the best apple cooking you'll ever taste I'll even ask Granny Smith if she can come up along Apple Bloom and the other crusaders," Applejack said.

"I get Gilda to come up a say hi as well," Rainbow said.

"Trixie will want to say hi as well," Twilight said.

"I can have Spitfire and Fleetfoot over here fast," Soarin said.

"I know Vinyl and Octavia will be happy to see you too Ash," Luna said.

"Those sound like terrific ideas I've been really hoping to see everyone again," I said.

Immediately Applejack, Rainbow, Twilight, Soarin and Luna pulled out a phone and started texting I was shocked at what was going on right in front of me I had no words.

"Where'd you get those?" I asked finally forming words in my mouth.

"How about we explain everything later once you’re clean," Celestia giggled.

After everyone left I had a shower and a shave and waited for the barber to arrive when he did I decided to go with a style that had a side of my fringe covering my right eye when I looked in the mirror I had to say I looked awesome. I thanked the barber and gave him a few coins but he wished to deny having any but I insisted before I left for the ballroom. Once I arrived I saw everyone was here either setting up streamers or balloons and placing food on a table I stood inside the doorway and gave the door a few knocks causing everyone to look at me.

"How do I look?" I asked.

Vinyl just responded by giving me a whistle.

"Nice style Ash," Gilda said.

"It certainly gives you that mysterious look," Rarity said as she walked up to me and started drawing circles on my chest I could see both Luna and Thunderlane where giving us a bad look.

"Uh I'm deeply flattered Rarity," I said as I removed Rarity's arms from me.

"Dad!"

I looked at the owner of the voice to see Pip running up to me I crouched down and spread my arms out and hugged him.

"Hey Pip wow you got taller in just 9 months," I said.

"Ash!"

I looked to see the rest of the CMC jump on top of me causing a large dog pile.

"Alright you youngsters let Ash up I'm sure he has other ponies to greet."

The CMC got off me revealing Granny Smith I stood up and gave the mare gentle hug and kiss on the cheek.

"It's been too long Granny Smith," I said.

"Ya darn right you young whipper snapper you just can't seem to stay out of trouble," Granny said.

"That or trouble can't stay away from me," I said causing us to laugh.

"All hail the conquering hero."

I looked to the source of the voice to see both Spitfire and Fleetfoot smiling at me.

"Spitfire and Fleetfoot and how are my two favourite speeding angels?" I asked causing them both to blush and giggle.

"Hey!" Rainbow shouted.

"You’re a speed demon you don't count," I said getting a laugh from the group.

"To answer your question were doing great," Fleetfoot said.

"The real question is what made it ok for you to go to the moon for 9 months when we just got you back from being in a coma and not to mention you left without a goodbye," Spitfire said slugging my arm and for her rub her hand. "And are you wearing armour under that or is it possible for humans to get tougher skin?"

"No armour just cloth and skin there if you wanted to hit something metal try the other arm," I said jokingly.

"Ash!"

I was suddenly pulled into a headlock and someone rubbing the top of my head hard I turned my head to see a pair of familiar shades.

"Good to see you too Vinyl," I said still in the headlock.

"Now tell me do you have some kind of death wish or is it a habit you seem to end up in the most deadly of situations?" Vinyl asked.

"Maybe it's just my luck now can you let go?" I asked.

"Hm nah I kinda like you where you are," Vinyl said.

"*sigh* Alright you asked for it just remember you had your chance," I said.

"What do yo…hahahahahaha…hey knock it off!" Vinyl screamed as I tickled her with a feather from my wing but her grip on me was still strong.

"Let me go and I will stop," I said.

"Alright, alright you win," Vinyl said as she let me go.

"I hope you aren't forgetting somepony."

I turned around and was met with a pair of mulberry eyes that belonged to a familiar cellist player.

"Octavia it's so good to see you," I said hugging the mare.

"Likewise but you simply must cease getting yourself into all kinds of crazy situations," Octavia said when we ended the hug.

I was about to speak when the doors opened and a face I despised walked in.

"Auntie this room is used for public party's why is it being used for a beast's return party?" Blueblood asked with disgust.

"Oh geez real original Blueblood," I said clapping my hands in a mocking way.

"Also we shouldn't be allowing commoners into the palace unless they have important business," Blueblood said.

"Blueblood I have given you a very good life so far but it appears you’re never happy with what happens around you. First with Ash arriving in Equestria then with who your aunt Luna falls in love with who also happens to be Ash and the technology we recently recovered from Ash's home world. why if I must ask nephew is that makes you hate Ash so much you hate everything about him?" Celestia asked.

"It's an alien monster that has no place here don't any of you see this creature is nothing but trouble. You may have everypony else fooled but I know what you are you’re a bloodthirsty carnivores savage that has no place dating a class of superior bloodline your just a common animal and I will find out every dirty secret you hold," Blueblood said getting into my face.

"You want to know a secret do you Blueblood I'll tell you one when I was on earth I was a slave forced to fight in an arena for my life. I was brutally tortured and faced countless creatures and I lost good friends and if you don't believe me I've still got the scars to prove it," I said.

"So you are a slave I wonder what would happen if that story were to reach the press tomorrow unless if you are a slave then you should know how to submit to your better then I won't say anything," Blueblood said as he went to back hand me but I grabbed his arm. "Release me you damn piece of property."

"Here's what's going to happen Blueblood you can tell the entire world about me being a slave but no one would care if anything many will see me as inspiration that even a slave can become something great. And no one I care about will think of me as anything less so go ahead and tell the world because it won't matter," I said.

"The nobles will never allow you to continue to date a member of the royal blood line they'll see that you are sent back to your cage," Blueblood said.

"In case you forgot Blueblood the nobles and you don't make the rules here," I said pushing Blueblood away.

"Don't you worry there are rules that even the princesses have to obey and before you know it you'll be gone," Blueblood said.

"I suggest you leave Blueblood," I said.

"Aw is it because you know I'm right and that you can't win?" Blueblood asked with mock concern.

"No it's because he looks hungry," I said pointing to Bluebloods side.

Blueblood looked at me in confusion before he turned to what I was pointing at however he was met with a massive roar and a mouth filled with five rows of sharp teeth. Blueblood screamed something like this before he ran out the doors still screaming.

"Never gets old," I said with a grin as my shadow returned to my feet.

"What in the name of Equestria was that," Gilda asked gesturing to my feet.

"Oh most of you remember my nightmare form from the night I was sent to the moon well that was him," I said.

"And you managed to let him out without killing how exactly?" Rage asked.

"Well for so long I have been fighting against him or trying to get rid of him but then I found out him and me are two side of the same coin. To kill him is to kill me and the other way round I couldn't trap him I can no longer contain him and I can't kill him so I was left with one option to accept and become one with him," I said.

"That's quite something," Celestia said.

"Yeah with a little training from Faust she taught me all manner of magic," I said.

"Wait training with Faust?" Twilight asked with surprise.

"Oh yeah I never told you Faust dragged my sprit into the world between worlds to train with her and the knights I even learned to control my blood," I said.

“Wait control your blood?” Rarity asked turning slightly green.

I simply demonstrated by cutting my hand with my hidden blade I used the blood and transformed it into the claws I used as my nightmare form. The group was surprised before I returned the blood back into my bloodstream and healed the wound.

"From what I saw that was clearly black magic why would mother train you in that art?" Luna asked.

"Actually Luna that wasn’t black magic in fact that wasn’t magic at all," I said.

“Ash that clearly had to be magic what else could it be?” Chrysalis asked.

“Blood manipulation think of it as moving a part of your body its magic if I am using someone else’s magic but I need to be touching it in order to work,” I said.

“Can you teach me that?” Rage asked.

“Sorry Rage but this was just something that happened Faust said this ability hasn’t been seen in a long time but Faust taught me other forms of magic,” I said

"Ash you can only learn one form of magic in a lifetime like Discord with chaos magic, Chrysalis controls life magic, Dream Catcher controls dream magic, Cadence controls love magic, Twilight controls friendship magic, Luna controls night magic and I control Solar magic you can't control two different forms of magic or more.

"Well hate to disappoint you but I can do it," I said gaining confused looks from the group. "Let me give you all a demonstration."

I created a ball of light magic in my right hand and a ball of black magic in my left the princesses plus Discord and Eris were surprised by what I was doing. But, their jaws fell when I brought the two together and let them twist and make different shapes together.

"That is incredible," Twilight said.

"Hey hang on aren't we all forgetting something Ash why did you tell that jerk of a prince you were once a slave?" Vinyl asked.

"Oh I never told you did I well what I said was true I actually was a slave and I hated every moment of being forced to do something I didn't want to do," I said.

"So what did they do if you disobeyed them," Fleetfoot asked.

I breathed out a sigh before I took off my jacket and shirt showing her my chest.

"That big circular one came from Tirek but the rest are from being tortured," I said before I covered myself up.

"Holy buck I didn't think those were real when I saw them," Vinyl said.

"Damn you have some serious guts if you’re going to let Blueblood publish what you said to the world," Spitfire said.

"Let them think what they want it doesn't bother me anymore but now that that part is over let's eat cause I'm starved and I want to know everything that has happened while I've been away," I said as I walked over to the table to eat.

During dinner that was fit for several kings everyone gave me a welcome home gift I immediately opened it and saw it was a brand new phone. After I thanked everyone Twilight told me of how she and Sunset Simmer had been busy discussing and bringing technology into Equestria such as phones, tablets, cars, even my IPod gave birth to a new line of devices called the P-Pod. It wasn't as perfect as mine but it still worked Equestria has become better with the technology from my world. Luna even told me about the Xbox one and new flat screen HD TV she installed in the house and an all manner of games even a DVD player was installed meaning I could show them movies from my world.

"Damn and when did you start this project Twilight?" I asked.

"Oh it was after I help stopped the sirens in your world Ash so you were still in a coma," Twilight said.

"*yawn* Well this old mare had better be off to sleep along with the youngest of us," Granny Smith said.

"Aww," the CMC whined.

"Please can't we stay up longer," Apple Bloom pleaded at the five got on their knees and gave me the puppy dog eyes and for an added touch they pulled of the same technique as my wolf siblings.

I stared at the crusaders in disbelief at what they were doing I could feel my resistance crumbling but I shook my head rapidly before I addressed the five.

"Nice try you lot but if Granny says its bedtime its bedtime," I said firmly

The crusaders awed in defeat before they followed Granny Smith out the door.

"Hey Ash you alright?" Rage asked.

"Those five managed to do something that no one else has done in a long time I almost gave in to their cuteness," I said.

"That is scary," Rage said.

"Ha, ha now we only need to learn from those foals their secret of cuteness before we can break your will!" Luna shouted in triumph.

"Why would you want to get any cuter when you’re cute enough the way you are?" I asked booping Luna on the end of her muzzle.

"Hey now that the youngest and Granny have gone to bed how about a game of spin the bottle truth or dare with a twist," Rainbow said holding a glass bottle with a seductive smile.

"Look out everypony I think Rainbow's heat cycle came early," Soarin said jokingly earning him a glare from Rainbow.

"What's the twist?" I asked with an interested smile on my face.

"You deny the dare or refuse to tell the truth you have to give up one piece of your clothing once all your clothing is gone you have to tell the truth or do the dare so I suggest you choose wisely," Rainbow said.

"Why not I haven't been able to play this game in a long time," Celestia said.

"Well I'd be lying if I said I wasn't curious on where this was going," I said.

Soon everyone agreed to play Rainbow placed the bottle in the centre of the circle and gave it a spin at first the truths and dares were harmless but as time went on and everyone continued to drink the truths became more personal and the dares got kinky. I was glad Cadence was here to prevent everything from going out of control but that didn’t mean she couldn’t play. Now Shining was in nothing but his boxes while Soarin and Thunderlane and Mac had given up their shirts while the rest of us guys were still fully clothed. Celestia was now only in her underwear along with Rarity and Octavia and the other princesses gave up their Jewry and both Twilight and Fluttershy were only in a skirt panties and bra and Eris gave up her pants so far there was nothing to revealing. Everyone watched as the bottle spun around franticly till it landed on me.

"Bout time I thought we'd never get to you Ash," Rainbow said.

"What can I say the world likes me to keep my secrets and dignity perhaps," I said with a laugh.

"That may be true but not anymore so pick your poison truth or dare?" Rainbow asked.

"I don't know whether it's the alcohol or my head but I'm going to go with dare," I said.

"Alright I dare you to eat Celestia out till she orgasms," Rainbow said.

Those words managed to shock me out of my tipsy mode before I raised an eyebrow at Rainbow.

"Ok I think you've had too much Rainbow," I said.

"Aw come on Ash give me a taste," Celestia said as she stood up put hands behind her head and pointed her elbows to the celling and shook her hips at me causing me to sweat. I then looked around for Cadence to see she was nowhere in sight meaning I was left on my own "Times up."

I didn't get a chance to respond before I was tackled by all the mares and pined my while Celestia loomed over me with a terrifying smile on her face before she began to sit on my face reverse cowgirl style. Suddenly Celestia let out a yawn I breathed a sigh of relief when Celestia stoped but my luck changed when Celestia fell onto me her tail and massive butt cheeks covering my face. I tried in vain to push Celestia off me then thought to myself things couldn't get any worse.

"Great idea Celestia sleep pile!" Pinkie shouted.

I tried to cry out in protest but my voice was muffled one by one I could feel the weight of the others added to the pile. I didn't want to hurt anyone by throwing anyone off so I was stuck there till I fell asleep.

I woke up to the sounds of movement above me I opened my eyes to see nothing but black I then remembered the little party we had and Celestia fell on top of me. Then how the rest of the group jumped on top of us forming a pile.

"Wow that was refreshing," Rage said.

"Where are my clothes!?" Rarity shrieked.

"Damn Thunderlane you picked yourself quite the looker...OW!" Soarin cried as he was slapped from either Rarity, Thunderlane or Rainbow.

"Hey where's Ash?" Dream Catcher asked.

Suddenly my air supply was cut off when Celestia shifted I let out a muffled cry for help and tried to push Celestia off me but the only response was a moan of pleasure from Celestia.

"I don't know about any of you but what I'm sitting on is certainly nice," Celestia cooed.

I was starting to lose my patience I then used all my strength to try and push Celestia of me but there still ponies on top so I could only shift the group.

"Whoa what's going on?" Comet asked.

"Hey I think Ash is under there," Gilda said.

I then felt the weight lighten off of me before all that was left of Celestia.

"Whoa that I wasn't expecting," Discord said.

"Um Celestia your sitting on Ash's face," Dream Catcher said.

"That explains why he's so comfortable am I right Luna?" Celestia said.

"Tia get off of him!" Luna demanded.

"But he's so comfy," Celestia whined.

I then decided to take matters into my magic and pushed her off me letting me suck in a good amount of air.

"Damn it Celestia I needed you to move I was beginning to suffocate in there," I said.

"Well why didn't you say anything?" Celestia asked.

"I did I guess you couldn't hear me through two tons of butt," I said.

"My flanks are not that large thank you they are considered a national treasure," Celestia said giving her ass a smack causing some of the stallions to gawk and for their marefriends to give them a disapproving glare.

"How did you get in that situation anyway?" Chrysalis asked.

"You don't want to know," I said rubbing my head.

"Oh I know when Rainbow spun the bottle and it landed on Ash, Ash decided to do a dare and Rainbow Dash dared Ash to eat out Celestia but Ash tried to back out of it but all the girls grabbed Ash and pinned him to the floor. As Celestia got ready to sit on Ash she fell asleep on top of Ash the I told everyone we should make a sleep pile and then we went to sleep," Pinkie said with a massive grin.

"Well what she said," I said as I looked at the group I saw the mane 6 had red faces along with Celestia while the guys had envy on theirs.

"I'm surprised at you Ash I know plenty of stallions that would kill for a chance to go to town on Celestia why not you?" Spitfire asked.

"I'm already faithful to a mare and I would never betray that," I said causing Luna's heart to flutter.

"So you don't want to form a harem not even a herd?" Caramel asked but I just rose an eyebrow at him "Your kidding right you don't know."

"Not really," I said.

"Ash a herd is basically a where two to three mares share one stallion and a harem is where several mares share a stallion and a harem has a lead mare to keep the harem together also as long as the stallion treats all he mares equally," Cadence said.

"Well that sort of thing isn't legal on earth so it's no wonder why I haven't heard of it before but why is it considered legal here," I asked.

"The stallion ratio to mares is 1 to 10 in Equestria," Celestia said.

"Damn that must suck for you girls along with the stamina problem for you guys," I said gesturing to the stallions.

"How so?" Comet asked.

"Meaning where stallions can last up to 30 seconds before cumming along the sperm reproductive system humans can last longer and can cum multiple times," Luna said with pride gaining shocked looks from most of my friends.

"Damn you two certainly got the best pick on the planet," Vinyl said gesturing to Luna and Eris.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa back up so you’re saying Ash and Rage here can last longer than our stallions and can go for multiple rounds?" Rainbow asked.

"Yes he made me cum several times before cumming himself," Luna said.

"You do realise that you’re making me and Rage very big targets," I whispered to Luna who only stuck her tongue out at me.

"If I knew he could do that I would have jumped Ash in the shower you certainly got a good one Luna," Spitfire said licking her lips.

"Come on guys it's no big deal," I said as Rage and I backed away from the mares who all had lust filled looks on their faces all of a sudden I saw Cadence almost collapse. "Cadence!" I shouted as I ran over to her.

"It's time," Cadence said giving me a smile before I turned to Shining who was fully dressed and came to check on Cadence.

"Looks like your day of being a farther begins today pal," I said.

I sat on a chair in the waiting room with everyone waiting for results along with Twilight’s and Shining’s parents while Shining was panicking out of his mind. He was pacing around in a circle and I could see that he had begun to were out the carpet and Twilight gave up on trying to calm him.

“Of Celestia what do I do who knows what’s happening in there and I feel so useless what do I do,” Shining said as he continued to pace in circles.

“I’ve never seen him like this how do we calm him?” Twilight asked.

“Leave this to me,” I said as I stood up and walked over to Shining I then held his shirt with my left hand before I slapped Shining then backhanded him and slapped him across the face before I grabbed his shoulders. “Pull yourself together Shining Armour now listen and tell me how strong is Cadence?”

“What do you me…,” Shining began before I slapped him.

“How strong is Cadence?” I asked again.

“Very strong,” Shining said.

“Alright do you have faith in her?” I asked.

“Yes,” Shining replied.

“Then sit your flank down and breath cause your panicking over nothing and it’s not helping anyone,” I said as I pointed to a chair.

Shining sat down on the chair and began to breathe calmly before I did the same while the room just stared at me.

“How’d you learn to do that?” Twilight asked.

“Jabir was in the same predicament when Rosa was giving birth and Alex calmed him down,” I said.

Just then the doors opened and the doctor walked out Shining was quick to get on his feet and almost ran to the doctor but I got up and slapped him again before he nodded to me in thanks while her rubbed his cheek before he walked over to the doctor.

“How is she doctor?” Shining asked calmly.

“Both princess Cadence and your foul a perfectly healthy your highness are you ready to see them?” The doctor asked.

Shining nodded before the doctor led us through the hallways to where Cadence was we walked into the room I saw Cadence holding a small bundle in her arms and was humming a small lullaby. Shining approached the bed and sat next to Cadence and his child I watched from the doorway as the two nuzzled their heads together and smiled at their foul while he rest crowded around the bed and watched. I stepped in closer and saw the foal was a white alicorn with a blue mane and curled at the end like her mothers along with her tail the foal had baby blue eyes let out some baby gibberish which I couldn’t help but chuckle at and then I noticed the foals horn and wings were rather large.

“It’s a filly,” Cadence said.

“Then Flurry Heart it is,” Shining suggested.

“Congratulations you two,” Rage said with a smile.

“Why Rage I’ve never seen a smile like that on you before,” Celestia teased.

“I only smile like this on one and only celebrations,” Rage said.

“It’s a great smile you should where it more often,” Eris said as she held Rage close.

“Yay another crusader to add to our adventures and to make the head of the Crystal Empire branch,” Sweetie Belle cheered.

“Don’t you think she’s a little young?” Rumble asked.

“We have to start somewhere,” Scootaloo said.

I watched in silence with a smile on my face at the CMC’s antics as all the mares and foals tried to get closer without cramping the area while all the males moved away so they weren’t caught in the crowd. I then decided to leave the couple and the group I stood in the doorway and gave a final glance and smile before I walked away.
