Author's Notes:

Sorry for the delay everyone and I thank you for the patience. But I recommend watching the Friendship Games first because this chapter contains spoilers. Also a big birthday shout out to Zeusdog17 sorry this wasn't posted sooner and I hope your birthday was an awesome one.

It has been a week since the heat season began and I was heading home with the others I was sitting on my bike along with Rage on his slowly rolling along the ground with the others walking with us.

"Man I'm exhausted," Spike said as we walked.

"Why are you complaining you've been walking for only ten minutes and Rage and I have been the ones that have been the ones to gather supplies," I said.

"Well we're here," Thunderlane said as we got out of the forest.

I gave everyone a nod of goodbye before Rage and I drove into town. As we drove I saw mares and stallions going about their day like always. When the mares saw me they either gave off seductive smiles or a nod while the stallions just stared in curiosity.

"Looks like someone is popular among the mares," Rage said.

"Save it Rage let's go see the princesses," I suggested.

As we continued to drive I saw the mane 6 along with Gilda and Trixie come round a corner and spot us making us stop.

"Hey I remember you from before you had some nice moves when you dodged Gilda like that especially those mares," Rainbow said as she flew in front of my bike.

"Pfft he just got lucky," Gilda said.

"Where you say luck I call it skill," I said as I removed my helmet exposing my face to the group.

"ASH where the hell did you get the bike and is that you Rage!?" Rainbow screamed in shock when she saw me.

"You know it," Rage said as he took off his helmet.

"And where we got these is our business," I said with a smirk.

"Well shoot gotta say you clearly know how to disguise yourself even when you never intend to do it," Applejack said.

"I like this one it just screams awesome on so many levels," Gilda said.

"Glad someone likes it," Rage said with pride.

"So Ash were you the rider that saved that mare from earlier in the week?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah," I said.

"Well then I guess that also makes you THE ONE RESPOSNSIBLE FOR WAKEING UP PONYVILLE FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT!" Rarity shouted in my ear.

"Well I'd love to stay and chat but I gotta go so see ya," I said while I rubbed my ear and drove off with Rage in tow.

I drove up to my home and parked my bike and I saw the royal carriage was still here meaning Celestia, Dream Catcher, Chrysalis and Eris were still here.

"C'mon let's go see if your Draconequus is inside and prey she doesn't chew your head off for abandoning her during heat season," I said with a chuckle.

"Hey you dragged me out of the castle," Rage said.

"Yet you could have gone back to her at any time," I said.

"Touché," Rage said as we stepped inside.

I walked inside and I saw Luna sitting in the lounge room playing a game called Minecraft she also didn’t seem to notice our entrance.

“Hey watch this?” Raged said before he crept up behind Luna and got close to her ear and hissed.

“CREEPER!” Luna squealed cutely and jumped off the couch and latched onto the ceiling.

Luna looked down and saw Rage on the floor roaring in laughter while I watched the scene stunned.

"I'm not sure whether to laugh or squeal," I said.

“That was fun…Hey whoa come on Luna I was only playing,” Rage said as Luna levitated him into the air.

“As am I this game is called Twister,” Luna said as she flew back onto the ground and began to spin Rage around so fast he looked like he was going to be sick.

“Come on Luna put him down before he throws up and if that happens you’re cleaning it up,” I said.

“Very well,” Luna said as she placed Rage on the ground and walked up to me then wrapped her arms around my neck and gave me a kiss. “Welcome home.”

“What’s with all the noise?”

I looked at the stairs and saw Eris walking down them.

“Nice to see you again Ash,” Eris said.

“Likewise and sorry for running out on you at the castle,” I said.

“Don’t worry about it you seen Rage?” Eris asked.

Resisting the urge to barf,” I said as I thumbed over to Rage.

“What’d he do this time?” Eris sighed when she saw Rage.

“Pretended to be a creeper while Luna was playing Minecraft was it?” I asked which Luna nodded

“I see,” Eris nodded.

“But what have you been up too?” I asked.

“Oh chasing some mystery motorcyclist,” Eris said.

“Mystery motorcyclist did he have a helmet like mine?” I asked as I showed Eris my helmet.

“Yeah he did,” Eris said.

“And did he have a jacket like mine,” I asked as I spun around and showed Eris my jacket.

“Yes he did,” Eris said.

“And did he have a black bike like the one outside?” I asked.

Eris walked outside to look at the bike and when she came back she nodded.

“Yeah exactly the same,” Eris said.

I leaned against a wall and smiled at Eris and soon it hit her like an anvil on the head literally.

“Wait you’re…” Eris began as she tossed the anvil away.

“You sure are slow when it comes to this,” Luna smiled.

“Is everything alright down here?”

I looked at the stairs and saw the rest of the princesses walk down.

“Glad to see you three are back to normal and you’re not calling yourself Molestia anymore Celestia,” Rage said after he recovered.

“Let’s not bring that up again and never speak of it again now what’s going on?” Celestia asked.

“Ash was the cyclist you all were chasing,” Eris said.

The princesses looked at me causing me to just show them the helmet.

“I see you certainly know what you’re doing when it came to escaping us,” Celestia said.

“You weren’t that hard to get away from,” I said with a smile.

“Hmmpf well anyway we’ve left our royal duties for too long so we must be going,” Celestia said.

“Hang on will you at least stay for dinner the Apples are hosting a dinner at the farm for our little group its a little tradition they hold to celebrate a new generation of foals. Granny and the foals will be back soon. Also I’ve already sent an invitation to Shinning and Cadence along with Spitfire, Fleetfoot, Vinyl and Octavia along with the immortals and they all agreed to come tonight,” I said.

“Oh I can’t come without something nice to wear,” Dream Catcher said.

“Dream Catcher the Apples don’t care about any of you coming all dressed up so come in something casual after all it’s just an outdoor evening dinner,” I said.

“Y’know I think we can put our duties off till tomorrow,” Celestia said.

“Great I’ll let Mac know what’s happening,” I said as I pulled out my phone and texted Mac.

“Now Ash I’ve been meaning to ask how did you escape that trap when you were in Canterlot?” Celestia asked.

“That oh that was a simple trick that Faust taught me to get out of magic grips and move through force fields,” I said as I finished texting Mac.

“Mother taught you the anti-magic spell?” Celestia asked surprised.

“Yeah you know of it huh,” I said.

“Yes but the spell temporarily shuts down magic of the user there should be no way for you to fly after that yet you flew,” Celestia said.

“Hm never had that problem before maybe it has a different effect on humans,” I said.

“Perhaps that’s it,” Celestia said.

“Now you’ll have to excuse me but I’ve got to grab some barrels of cider from the basement,” I said.

“I’ll help you,” Luna said as she followed me.

I walked down into the basement with Luna behind me I stood in front of a barrel and turned around to face Luna.

“Ok Luna what is it?” I asked.

“What do you mean?” Luna asked.

“C’mon Luna I know when something is bothering you,” I said Luna gave a defeated look before she looked down hiding her face I tilted he face up to look at me and I saw tears in her eyes.

“Ash I took a test yesterday…And it came back positive,” Luna said causing me to give a confused look before Luna placed one of my hands on her stomach. “Ash I’m pregnant and the child is yours and the foal is an alicorn,” Luna said I saw Luna was struggling to tell me this and this news threw me for multiple loops. I saw Luna’s tears and immediately reacted I pulled her close and kissed her on the lips before I let her go. “How can you not be mad you now have two children to care for now why haven’t you shouted or hit me at least?”

"Luna why on Earth and Equis would I shout or hit you over something like this?" I asked in shock.

"It’s because it's rare for a stallion to accept the roll of a farther of one foal but almost impossible for one to accept two," Luna cried.

"Luna you should know this but I'm no stallion I'm a human and humans are willing to give their lives to save their families and any stallion who doesn't share that is an ass," I said as I held Luna close and placed my head on top of hers. "Nothing gives me greater joy then the words that a family is going to have a new member added to it."

"What did I do to receive this blessing," Luna cried happily causing me to let out a small chuckle.

"That's easy you just had to be you," I said.

"But what do we tell the others and Pip what will they say?" Luna asked.

"I haven't a doubt they'll be as thrilled as I am," I said.

"Ok but when should we tell them?" Luna asked.

"At the party and also Luna I wanted to talk to you about Spitfire," I said.

It was around sunset when we arrived at Sweet Apple Acers Luna had a nervous look on her face the entire walk over. I squeezed her hand for reassurance I saw a large table outside with a vast assortment of foods on it and all my friends sitting around it enjoying themselves. After I was reunited with Pip and sat down with Luna on my lap I saw Shining had bandages around his midsection and when I asked he said Cadence in heat which I nodded.

"So I hear it was you who woke up all of Ponyville with the bike during the season," Vinyl said with a cocky smile.

"As a matter a fact I did but I was merely a distraction so Rage could grab what we needed and also I wouldn't have woken anyone up if Lyra and Bonbon didn't send Scary to spy on us and find out the locations of the safe hoses. But thankfully I managed to alert the others so we could hide elsewhere I assume you ransacked every single safe house correct?" I asked.

"We did but we couldn't find any of you so where were you lot hiding?" Twilight asked.

"You must be off your rocker if you think we're going to tell you," Rage said.

"Oh don't worry when it comes to extracting info I'll make you sing," Rarity said before she gave Rage the puppy dog eyes and quivering lip.

"Ah, ah, ah Rarity I don't work like that," Rage said as he folded his arms over his chest.

Rarity gave the same look to the other stallions but none of them broke.

"Ho...How?" Twilight asked in shock.

"Sorry girls but while they were with me I've been working on their resistance against such things and it seems to be working," I said.

"You beast," Rarity said.

"Perhaps but that's not all they learned show them Thunder," I said.

Thunderlane gave me a nod before he placed a hand behind Rarity's ears and scratched causing her to coo and sigh.

"I take that back this is so nice," Rarity said.

"You managed to help them scratch behind the ears?" Cadence asked in surprise.

"Yep turns out they were scratching wrong that's all," I said.

"Can you teach Shining?" Cadence asked pushing Shining over to me.

"Ok well first Shining place your hand behind Cadences ear like so," I said as I demonstrated with Luna and Shining copied me. "And give it a gentle scratch not one where your digging your fingernails into her."

Shining did as instructed and received happy moans and sighs from Cadence.

"Ah that's much better," Cadence said.

"Hey Luna you haven't drunken any cider so far here have a cup," Rage said handing Luna a mug.

"Whoa no man she can't," I said placing the mug on the table.

"What, what do you mean?" Rage asked.

"She can't," I replied.

"What do you mean she can't?" Rage replied but when he saw me rubbing circles over Luna's stomach and her hand on mine his eyes widened in realization. "Are you serious right now!?" Rage shouted I let out a solid chuckle at Rage's reaction before Luna got off my lap so I could give Rage a hug which got everyone's attention "How can you keep this a secret from me dude it’s your baby."

"What's happening?" Celestia asked.

"Luna's pregnant with Ash's kid," Rage said.

There were a few smiles but mostly gasps of shock the happy moment was over when Shining grabbed my shirt.

"You'd better be staying and help raise that foal," Shining said holding up a fist.

"What are you talking about? I was gonna stay and help raise the foal anyway," I said as I pushed Shining's hand off me.

"You'd...Wait what?" Shining asked in surprise.

I looked around at the others and saw they had the same looks of surprise as Shining.

"Aw hell no you all honestly thought I was going to leave Luna because she's pregnant with our foal?" I asked receiving looks of guilt from the group. "Damn it guys you all know me better than that would I really do something so shallow. I know most stallions would but come on I'm a human and humans would sacrifice themselves to save their young."

"Well what about your parents the left you," Caramel said.

"They could have left me for a good reason but the point is would I ever abandon Luna and my children?" I asked with a firm glare causing the looks of guilt to intense.

"We're sorry Ash and your right just because most stallion's would do it here it does not mean you will you were unjustly accused to do something when we should have known better," Celestia said as the rest of the table was filled with apologies.

"Its fine just remember I'm human not a stallion so I do things differently," I said.

"Like when you knocked up Luna?" Rainbow asked trying to get some humour back into the conversation.

"Oh wouldn't you like to find out," I said causing the group to laugh.

"Hey Dad Mum does this mean I'm going to be a big brother?" Pip asked in the cutest and most excited way possible.

"Yes Pip," I said causing the colt to try and squeeze the life out of me before he ran over to Luna while he did that I walked over to Spitfire. "Hey Spits remember when I said I'd think about having a herd with you?"

"It's not happening is it?" Spitfire asked plainly.

"Yeah I'm sorry and for the record it's not you I'm just not comfortable with the id...," I was cut off when Spitfire placed a finger on my lips.

"Don't worry about it Ash if anything I should thank you most stallions would just cut me off or ring me up to tell me that it was over. But you I can see you were thinking really hard on this and you actually came to me to say it and for that you have my thanks. But admit it you’re going to miss this ass," Spitfire said with a smile as she gave her flank a light slap.

"Well it's not exactly over between us Spits," I said.

"You'd better not be telling me you plan to cheat on Princess Luna with me," Spitfire said with a scowl and raised fist.

"No, no, no you misunderstand and before you ask Luna suggested this that during heat season you and Luna share me," I said holding my hands up.

"So as in heat season fuck buddies or something?" Spitfire asked.

"Yeah but the rule stands you want my dick you need to catch me," I said with a grin.

"Oh continue to tempt me it will just get me more riled up for the chase," Spitfire said seductively unfortunately our conversation was overheard by a certain mare. Suddenly, a rainbow haired Pegasus grabbed the front of my shirt and started to shake me like a rag doll.

"You bastard I wanted to be the one to do it with Spitfire!" Rainbow shouted before she clamped her mouth shut with her hands.

"Let me guess old fantasy? I asked earning a nod from the mare.

"Don't feel so bad skittles I wouldn't mind giving you a try," Spitfire said causing Rainbow to blush slightly at the nickname I gave her.

"Well it appears this dinner just got all the more interesting I say we turn this celebration into one for a new royal family member," Granny suggested causing Rainbow Dash, Spitfire and I to turn our attention back to the table.

"I second that option Granny Smith," Pinkie said happily.

I sat down at the table with Luna and Spitfire sitting on either side of me and Pip was on my lap talking with Spitfire and the rest of the evening was a delight.

"This is unacceptable!"

I was in the court room along with Spitfire and the princesses along with the nobles. It's been about 2 months since the end of heat season and the news of Luna being pregnant has just been released and as expected the nobles were not happy in the slightest.

"A half breed as a royal family member is preposterous."

"Might as well invite a common animal to be royal worse yet a human."

"Enough!" Dream Catcher said silencing the room. "We do not need your permission to decide if the child will rule Equestria. The reason why we have called this meeting is to inform you of what will happen.

"Incorrect your majesty you must remember the law," and old grey and long bearded unicorn said he wore a pair of reading glasses and brown suit Celestia introduced him as Paper Scroll. He was one of the nicer nobles in the court and we became good acquaintances but he knew every law and made it his job to enforce it here.

"You dare play that card when we all were present when the law was first written each one of us wrote down multiple laws be..." Chrysalis started but Celestia held up her hand.

"Paper Scroll can you explain what law you’re addressing?" Celestia asked.

"Colom 63 Paragraph 10 this law is the law of public decision this law allows the civilians of Equestria to choose the next heir to the throne," Paper Scroll said.

"But Luna is the one who is pregnant with the child that counts as a blood tie," I said.

"True but the child is also of your blood as well now we can respect that you saved Equestria multiple times now. And because of that this law would not have been needed but because of your history as a slave it changes the matter," Paper Scroll said.

"What does me being a former slave have anything to do with this? Also it's not like I was given a choice to become a slave or not," I said.

"You see the monster admits its past to you all he was a slave and deserves to remain as one!" Blueblood yells earning shouts of agreement.

"You also forget the law Blueblood the ponies are forbidden from committing another to slavery," Paper Scroll said.

"Stuff the law I'm a member of the royal family I'm above the law!" Blueblood screamed.

"That's funny Blueblood as I seem to remember you said that not even the royals are above the law so that includes you," I said Blueblood looked like he was going to pop a vain with anger but he released a sigh and sat down. "Paper Scroll again I ask what does me having been a former slave have anything to do with this?"

"Because of your history and the history of Princess Luna and Princess Dream Catcher being Nightmare Moon the ponies of Equestria may not all approve of this and it must be settled through a vote. Also this law also effects your relationship with Princess Luna and can be ended immediately and if the relationship is not ended if voted for the princess must give up her title as royalty," Paper Scroll said causing the royals to gasp.

I looked around at the ponies in the stand to see evil grins on their faces some were snickering and others where whispering dark plans to the pony next to them.

"Is there a loophole or a way to get out of this Paper Scroll?" I asked.

"Well quite possibly I'll have to take a look but it will take some time I'm afraid," Paper Scroll said.

"Very well then until Paper Scroll has completed his search this meeting shall be put on hold," Celestia said and the nobles left.

"Why did that old stallion have to open his mouth," Spitfire grumbled who came along to see how the meeting would play out.

"Don't blame Paper Scroll he's just doing his job it's the law you should be angry at," I said.

"What are we going to do we can't let this happen," Luna said as she flew over to me and hugged me tight.

"I don't know Luna but I'm going to see if I can try and help find a way out of this," I said before I gave Luna a kiss and ran off after Paper Scroll.

"Man this sucks," I said.

I was in the Canterlot archives sorting through mountains of paperwork but nothing was coming up.

"Tough day."

I looked at the owner of the voice to see Discord with a glass of chocolate milk in his talon.

"Like you wouldn't believe Discord," I said returning my eyes to the paper.

"I saw what happened at the court room," Discord said.

"Uh huh," I said not taking my eyes off the paper.

"Not going to ask me how?" Discord asked.

"You’re a god of chaos I'm pretty sure it's in you power to gaze into a room without being in it," I said.

"Fair enough so how's your little search going?" Discord asked.

"If I found something I wouldn't be here right now Discord but what exactly do you need that you came to see me?" I asked finally looking up at Discord.

"I figured you could use my help," Discord said as he pulled a piece of paper out of his ear and handed it to me.

"What's this?" I asked as I took the paper.

"Something that could help," Discord said before he disappeared.

I looked at the paper and all that was written on it was a way to disband a law I raised an eyebrow at the paper before I rolled the thought over in my head before I went to look for Paper Scroll. When I did found him he was asleep at a table so I walked over to Paper Scroll a shook him awake.

"Huh...Wha...Who's there?" Paper Scroll asked.

"It's just me Paper Scroll I was wondering if it’s still possible for someone to disband a law?" I asked.

"Disband a law eh well it's not unheard of but there have been folks that have done it," Paper Scroll said.

"So it is possible?" I asked with hope in my voice.

"Not any longer sadly," Paper Scroll said.

"Why not?" I asked.

"Well the rule that allows civilians to disband a law was disbanded leaving only the royals to disband a law or the pony who created the law must agree to disband it. But the pony who created the law you want to be disbanded is long since dead," Paper Scroll said.

"But the princesses can still disband the law right?" I asked.

"No this type of royal has to be either a king or queen no one less and Equestria has not had either in eons Ash," Paper Scroll said.

"Well she may not living on Equestria but I know an Equestrian queen that's still alive," I said with a smile.

"So you see the dilemma we're in Faust," I said.

I was standing in Faust's library with the alicorn herself and I just finished telling her the situation.

"I understand but I disbanded that law long ago why was it not written down as disbanded," Faust said talking to herself.

"So I don't have to worry anymore," I said.

"Yes Ash now I suggest you go tell my daughters about this," Faust said.

"Yeah...Wait that won't work," I said.

"What do you mean Ash?" Faust asked.

"If I'm the one who tells the nobles this then they won't believe me and then this mess will continue. And me bringing somepony to you as proof won't work either cause the passageway could do some serious harm to a pony so there's only one option here," I said.

"And what would that be?" Faust asked.

"I'm getting you home today Faust," I said.

I was in Twilights Library looking for any info on the world between worlds but there was nothing not even from the Canterlot archives, the Everfree castle library even my library and since some books from the Canterlot archives have been moved to Twilight’s place I figured I’d have a look. But now my head was beginning to hurt even Faust wasn’t of any help when it came to the world between worlds and she’s been there for how long. I was looking through a book before I heard a buzzing sound come from close by before it stopped. I looked around but found nothing I turned back to my book but the noise sounded off again. I then followed the noise and saw on a pedestal a brown book with Celestia’s cutie mark on it odd thing was it was glowing and vibrating like a mobile phone. I remember Twilight telling me about this book and how it helped Twilight get to my world and how it served as a phone between both Earth and Equis I walked over to the book and opened it and saw words being written onto a page.

Dear Princess Twilight

How's life treating you in Equestria any cool new magic spells? Things have been really quiet here at CHS since the battle of the bands we still pony up when we play music which Rainbow Dash just loves to show off. But I still can't grasp what it's all about I would love to hear what you think about it when you get a sec.

Your friend Sunset Shimmer

I smiled at the message that appeared before me and decided to write to Sunset in reply I thought it might be nice to send her a message and tell her what's been going on here from my point of view. So I then picked up a pen from the table and began to write.

"Dear Sunset Shimmer

I'm glad to hear everything is going well for you and the girls back in Canterlot High how's Akachi doing? Things have been getting pretty crazy for me lately like you wouldn't believe and I could use a break from the whole saving Equestria from certain doom thing. Maybe we can catch up some time to talk about it. Also I have some amazing news that I want to tell you all in person but until then I'll have to keep you all guessing.

Signed Ash Blade

I closed the book and placed it on the table before I stretched my limbs out before I returned to my search. I was about to glide my hand across the covers when I saw a red drop of liquid slide down one of my fingers. I turned my hand over to discover a tiny thin cut on my finger I looked at the message book and saw a similar drop of red on the pages telling me it was just a paper cut. I shrugged it off and turned back to the shelves failing to notice the book beginning to glow the book then opened and flipped along some pages before a portal opened up in the centre and grew and as I realized what happened I was sucked into the portal and the book closed.

"WHHAAAA!" I screamed as I was flung out of the portal and onto the ground I let out a groan of pain and just lay there and wait for the pain to stop. "Well that hurt," I said as I pushed myself off the floor and rubbed my head.

"Ash!?"

I turned around and saw humanoid versions of the mane 6 and Sunset Shimmer and behind the girls were the human versions of the CMC and Akachi and we were standing in a school hallway meaning only one thing.

"Hey guys meesa back," I said casually.

"Jumping junebugs Ash where did you come from?" Applejack asked and shook my hand.

Well I was writing a message back to Sunset before I got sucked into some portal that opened in the book and well here I am," I said.

"It does explain why my book was acting funny just now," Sunset said while she held the book in question.

"Oh darling when did you dye your hair like that it suit's you marvellously," Rarity said as she traced her fingers along the silver line in my hair.

"Oh that well that isn't dye it just appeared like that out of the blue when I got back from the moon," I said.

"So are you getting old or something," Rainbow asked with a smirk.

"Yeah, yeah laugh it up skittles but for the record I'm only 20 years old," I said.

"Skittles?" Rainbow asked questionably.

"Wait a minute you went to the moon why?" Sunset asked.

"Oh that's right Twilight didn't tell you because I was still in a coma from the Tirek incident when Twilight last visited," I said.

"Twilight mentioned the coma but nothing else really," Applejack said.

"Well I'll just have to fill you all in on it but not here," I said.

"We can go to my house ma and pa would be glad to see you and Rebeca and Eli are there as well," Akachi suggested.

"Great this way I won't need to repeat myself when I see them," I said.

"Well I was going to show our fans some awesome shreds with my guitar but this sounds way more awesome," Rainbow said.

"I suppose my dress can wait for now I'd like to know how things have been for you Ash," Rarity said.

"Well I guess story time will have to wait," Fluttershy said.

"Aw shucks why not," Applejack said.

"Oooo I can't wait to hear this," Pinkie started.

"Mind if I tag along?" Sunset asked.

"Not at all the more the merrier," I said.

I knocked on the door to Akachi's house and waited for the door to open and when it did I was greeted by Jabir.

"Ash it's good to see you again," Jabir said as he bear hugged me.

"Same to you Jabir," I said as I hugged back.

"Rosa dear Akachi's home and he brought Ash and some guests," Jabir said.

I walked inside and I was greeted by Rosa, Eli and Rebeca who all gave me a hug.

"It's good to see you’re well again Ash after what Twilight told us when she returned," Rosa said.

"Yeah I was holed up in a hospital for five months if you can believe it," I said.

"And yet you’re not dead yet," Eli said.

"True," I replied.

"Well please sit and tell us how things are in Equestria," Rebecca said as she gestured to the couches.

"Thanks but I want to hear what's been happening with you lot," I said as I sat down along with the others.

Soon I was filled in on all the details of what happened when the sirens came and I was even shown a video of when the girls sand and formed a giant rainbow maned alicorn and how it destroyed the sirens power.

"Damn that was something but I'm glad you guys pulled it off," I said.

"Ok now enough about this world what's been happening with you in Equestria," Rainbow asked.

"Oh where to begin well since Twilight didn't give you guys any info on the Tirek incident I'll have to fill you in," I said before I told them about Tirek and what he did then my fight with him.

"Wait your saying that this magic stealing centaur called Tirek was able to suck out everybody's magic except yours and he completely vaporized your heart and most of your left lung," Rainbow asked in disbelief.

"You don't believe me do you?" I asked.

"Of course not if your heart was burned into nothing you would be dead," Rainbow said.

"I have the scars as poof," I said.

"Alright prove it," Rainbow said in a tone that makes her sound like she won the argument as she leaned back in her chair.

I then stood up and removed my jacket and placed in on my chair before I removed my top once the mane 6 and Sunset saw my scars they were shocked beyond words.

"Wait Tirek did all that?" Applejack asked in disbelief.

"No just this large circular one and it went all the way through," I said as I turned around and moved my wings out of the way so the group cold inspect the damage.

"Hey Ash what's that snake mark for?" Sunset asked.

"Oh that well it's from eight years ago I'm sure you all know about the junk yard in this area and the story behind it right?" I asked.

"You mean the one that used to harbor that slave arena," Applejack asked.

I gave a nod before I put my shirt and jacket back on.

"Wait so you were a...," Rainbow started.

"A slave yeah," I said.

"And he wasn't the only one us four were as well," Jabir said as he gestured to Rosa, Eli, Rebecca and himself who all had saddened expressions.

"Now I remember why you looked so familiar you were on the T.V. when the police came," Rarity said.

"If it's alright I don't want to talk about it anymore," I said earning nods from the group.

"So anything else from Equestria you want to share Ash," Sunset asked trying to change the subject to a pleasant one.

"Yeah and believe me every single word is true," I said.

After I told them about Nightmares return along with being banished to the moon the Tantabus, Faust's and the knights training sessions and my battle with War Sword and my new bike. I left out the entire heat season because of the younger ears and to make sure Eli didn't get any ideas.

"Wow you have been busy," Rebeca said.

"Yeah well I'm going to be even busier soon," I said with a small smile on my face.

"Oh and why is that?" Rosa asked.

"Well it's because 'Luna's pregnant with my child'" I said the last part just barely above a whisper but I could tell they all herd me because of their faces.

"This is fantastic Ash is having a baby with a goddess of the moon!" Jabir shouted as he walked over to me and picked me up in a bear hug.

Soon after Jabir's actions I was swarmed by the others offering their congratulations to me and Rosa and Jabir were offering advice to me about parenting I soon realised that it was late and Rosa and Jabir ordered pizza for us and once it was finished the girls, CMC, Eli and Rebecca left for their homes and I slept at on the couch once again.

"She was definitely doing something to the statue or was going to," Sunset said as she paced back and forth on the second level of Canterlot High School Library while I sat on top of a bookshelf listening to Sunset talk about a girl who was touching the statue on the front lawn.

"Do you think she came through the portal from Equestria?" Fluttershy asked.

"No I'm pretty sure I would have noticed that I'm pretty sure she was over here," Sunset said.

"Besides the book that opens the portal was in my possession when this happened so this one is not from over there," I added.

"Well that's a relief the last thing we need is another magical so and so bent on world domination coming over from Equestria," Applejack said as she winked at Sunset who responded with a smirk.

"Agreed I have no interested in another fight with the powers of evil magic the wear and tear on my wardrobe is just too much to keep up with," Rarity said.

"But still a mysterious figure snooping around the portal don't you want to know what she was up too?" Sunset asked.

"Oh I don't even want to guess," Fluttershy said nervously.

"Well you don't have to because I totally figured it out who it was," Rainbow said as she appeared from around a bookcase.

"Oh, oh a night time statue cleaner, a magical portal maintenance maintainer, a gardener," Pinkie guessed in her usual random way.

"Last one would make sense to me," I said to myself.

"Seeing as how they got off a bus from the city and they got on a bus to the city I bet they go too...," Rainbow started.

"Crystal Prep," all the girls besides Sunset said in sync and in an equally annoyed tone.

"Yep with the friendship games starting tomorrow they'd totally try to prank us by defacing the Wondercolt statue," Rainbow said.

"Why would someone take a bus all the way from a city for that?" Sunset asked.

"Because the Crystal Prep Shadowbolts are our biggest rivals," Applejack said.

"Because that's just what the students of Crystal Prep would do," Rarity said.

"Because even though they beat us at everything soccer, tennis, golf they still have to gloat," Rainbow said as she showed us a book of the previous friendship games and the statue on the front lawn was dressed up as a clown.

"Seems kinda silly to me," Sunset said before she pushed the book away.

"Silly," the rest of the girls exclaimed.

"So I guess you think the friendship games are silly too," Rainbow assumed.

"Well it's not like we'll be fighting the powers of evil magic," Sunset said.

"No we'll be fighting against a school full of meanies not everything needs to be magical to be important," Fluttershy said.

"You're right I'm sorry I know it's a big deal," Sunset said.

"Oh that's putting it mildly darling they're still revamping the playing field in preparation," Rarity said.

"What I don't understand is why the rivalry aren't the 'friendship games' supposed to about the two schools getting along?" Sunset asked as she did air quotes.

"Well it's kinda hard to get along with someone who beats you at everything," Applejack said.

"Not anymore cause this time things are gonna be different," Rainbow said.

"What do you mean?" Sunset asked.

"Oh you'll find out," Rainbow said.

"You know you guys make it seem like this Crystal Prep is under the rule of Sombra but considering how our worlds are connected I guess Crystal Prep would be the Crystal Empire," I said.

"The Crystal Empire, Sombra what are you talking about Ash?" Sunset asked.

"Damn I think I'm gonna need to write you a book about what you've missed when you left Sunset. To put it bluntly no one knew the Crystal Empire even existed until recently because 1000 years ago a demon took control over the empire and ruled with an iron grip of fear. But when he was defeated he was turned to shadow and banished to the northern ice lands but he cursed the empire making it vanish into thin air. And when both Sombra and the Empire returned I was the one who tore out Sombra's soul while Spike placed the crystal heart saving the empire," I said.

"Wait hang on did you just say you tore a demon soul out of a demon?" Applejack asked.

"Twilight never told what I do in Equestria did she?" I asked resulting in shakes from the entire group. "*sigh* well basically I kill demons that are trying to take over Equestria Sunset was different because you were turned into one and you didn't serve the demon leader Heartless," I said.

"Who's Heartless," Rainbow asked.

"The demon king the one who is trying to take over Equestria but was stopped thanks to Faust...Holy crap I completely forgot," I said repeatedly slapping myself in the side of the head.

"Forgot what Ash?" Rarity asked.

"I was working on finding a way to get Faust of the world between worlds when I got sucked over here now I have to get back and figure out how to free her," I said.

"Whoa calm down sugarcube you’re not making a lick of sense here let's talk and walk and you can tell us what's going on," Applejack said.

After taking a deep breath the girls led me to the gym while I explained the situation to the girls. We then a musical assembly thanks to Rainbow Dash and Sunset wrote a message to Twilight to open the portal, I returned to Akachi's, Jabir's a Rosa's home to brief them on my situation now I was back at Canterlot High in the music room with the girls there was still no reply from Twilight but the girls were helping me take my mind off the situation by playing their instruments.

"I hope the friendship games have music competition cause we would totally rock it," Rainbow said as she strummed he guitar.

"Um we're supposed to keep magic outside the games remember," Sunset said.

"Easier said than done darling I'm sure in Equestria magic does whatever you want but...," Rarity said.

"This isn't Equestria," Sunset said.

"She's right back in Equestria when you use magic it takes about a few minutes to replenish itself but here I can still gain magic but very little and very slowly," I said.

"Well when it comes to magic I'm sure you'll figure it out," Applejack said as she rested a hand on Sunset's shoulder.

"And while Sunset works on keeping the magic out of the games I have been working on what to put in," Rarity said.

"Rarity what'd you go and do?" Applejack asked accusingly.

"Well I had a little time on my hands and since we don't know what the friendship games events are I made a few options for uniforms," Rarity said as she pulled 5-10 racks of clothes out from nowhere.

"You really didn't have to do that," Rainbow said.

"I know," Rarity said.

"No you really didn't have too," Applejack said.

"I know," Rarity repeated.

"Well I'll leave you all to get changed," I said as I was about to exit.

"Aren't you going to try anything on?" Rarity asked in surprise.

"Not like you noticed Rarity but I'm not competing in the games cause I'm not a student besides a guy being in the same room with changing girls tell me how awkward would that be so just give me a call when you’re done," I said before I left and close the door behind me while the others just stared at Rarity who let out a nervous laugh. I stood outside in the hallway for a while suddenly I heard Rarity had raised her voice thinking it was a bad idea and I'm going to feel pain I decided to risk it anyway. "Hey is everything alright in here?" I asked as I entered and closed the door behind me only to be flung into a rack of clothes by a wave of energy. Once I recovered I looked at Rarity who had the extra-long hair and pony ears and was offering me a sheepish smile.

"Oh gosh are you alright," Fluttershy asked as she helped me up while she did I noticed she was wearing hocky goal keeper gear.

I looked at the others and noticed Applejack was wearing a rugby outfit Pinkie was wearing a cowgirl costume Rainbow was a police officer and Sunset wore welding gear but Rarity was still in her original clothing.

"Yeah I'm fine Flutters," I said as she helped me up only for me to feel weaker suddenly and nearly fall over again. "On second thought maybe I could use a minute," I said.

I looked over at Rarity and saw she was looking a little drained as well and was returning to her normal self.

"Actually Applejack now that you mention it I suppose I could use a tiny break," Rarity said before she collapsed into Applejack.

"I told you," Applejack said.

Suddenly the door opened and a girl walked in she wore a dark purple uniform along with purple hair that had a pink stripe going through it and the hair was done up in a bun. The girl wore a set of glasses that matched her uniform but despite this everyone knew who this girl was.

"Twilight!" the girls shouted in excitement.

"Um yes," Twilight replied.

"Well I'll be you should of told us you were coming," Applejack said.

"Darling those glasses what are you wearing? It’s so severe" Rarity said.

"My uniform," Twilight said.

"You’re uniform for what?" Fluttershy asked.

"For Crystal Prep but why does everyone at this school know who I am?" Twilight asked causing my eyes to widen in shock.

"Hey uh Twilight question what do the words mare in the moon mean to you?" I asked.

"I'm sorry I don't know is it some kind of band?" Twilight asked.

"No don't worry about it it's nothing," I said putting on my best fake smile.

"Hang on did you say Crystal Prep?" Rainbow asked only to receive a bark from Twilight's backpack the source of the bark then reviled itself as Spike.

"Spike!" the girls exclaimed in union.

"*gasp* you know my dog's name too," Twilight said.

"Twilight," a voice said from the door revealing Principal Celestia.

Another woman stood next to Celestia she was tall skinny and wore half-moon glasses the new lady struck me as the uptight and no fun allowed type of woman but I decided to keep my mouth shut.

"This is getting ridicules," Twilight said.

"I must apologise for the curiosity of my prized student," the new woman said leading me to assume she was the principal of Crystal Prep.

"Your student?" Celestia asked.

"The smart ones are always curious I'll return her to check in with the rest of her class," the woman said as she led Twilight away.

"I didn't know Twilight had a twin sister," Celestia said.

"She doesn't that Twilight is obviously the Twilight that goes to this world so she couldn't possibly be the Twilight from the pony world cause the other Twilight doesn't wear glasses or goes to Crystal Prep," Pinkie said.

"Never mind," Celestia said completely confused before she walked away.

We were walking down the hallways discussing about the new Twilight and wondering if she'll compete in the games.

"I cannot believe our worlds Twilight goes to Crystal Prep," Rarity said.

"Are you saying Twilight's gonna play against us she'd never do that," Rainbow assumed.

"Our Twilight wouldn't," Fluttershy said.

"Our Twilight is a princess in Equestria and an expert in friendship magic and if she was here we'd have already of figured out why magic is randomly popping up during pep rallies and costume changes," Sunset said causing us all to stare at her.

"Let me guess you’re having a tough time trying to figure this all out right?" I asked as I placed a hand on Sunset's shoulder earning a nod from her.

"Yeah I'm just frustrated that I haven't heard back from her," Sunset said.

"She's a princess in Equestria probably got problems of her own," Applejack said.

"We certainly can't expect Twilight to drop everything and pop through the portal whenever especially if it's to deal with something minor as a few random pony ups," Rarity said.

"But they aren't minor magic came into this world when I stole Twilights crown it's taken a lot for me to earn everyone's trust if we have to forfeit the games because I can't keep it under control," Sunset said.

"Oh Sunset I'm sure you'll be able to figure this out," Fluttershy said.

"You helped us understand what was going on with the sirens remember," Applejack said.

"I guess but Twilight but Twilight was the one who really figured out what we needed to defeat them," Sunset said.

"And yet you seem to be forgetting what it was Sunset it was you they needed," I said.

"Alright," Sunset said earning squeals of joy from the girls.

"C'mon guys let's go see if we can get any info about the events so we can come up with a strategy," Rainbow said before the group walked off leaving me with Sunset. "You both coming?"

"I'll catch up with you guys in a bit," Sunset said.

"Same," I replied before I walked out onto the front lawn with Sunset.

"Sorry Ash still no reply," Sunset said as she looked through her book.

"Not your fault I can understand if Twilight's busy right now what happened with that law and everything it threw us all for a few loops I bet Twilight is trying to figure out how to fix it somehow," I said.

"At least you’re optimistic," Sunset said.

"I try but since we can’t get the other side of the portal to open maybe we can try and open it from here," I suggested.

"That could actually work," Sunset agreed.

I walked over to the statue with Sunset and placed my hand on the portal but instead of its shimmery appearance a circle of black fire that went around my hand and held me against the portal and was sucking me of my energy. As I tried to get away Sunset grabbed me from behind and tried to pull me away finally the portal released me but I blacked out and collapsed.

"Uugghh wow that hurts," I said as I sat up.

I looked around and saw I was in the nurse's office I looked at my wings and was glad to see they were still hidden but when I checked my magic I saw a large quarter of it was gone. I then got off the bed and was a little uneasy on my feet but I cleared my head before I walked over to the door and began my walk down the hallways. Suddenly, I heard noise coming from the gym and decided to check it out when I arrived I saw the place was divided the Wondercolts on one side of the gym and the Shadowbolts on the other. I then saw the others and made my way over to them as best as I could as I did I began to hear their conversation.

"Wow Pinkie what happened to you?" Sunset asked an exhausted Pinkie which was a sight that didn't suit her

"I don't know everyone started having fun when Twilight and I fired the party cannons and I ponied up," Pinkie said

"Of course you did," Sunset said as she rolled her eyes playfully.

"But then the magic just drained right out of me," Pinkie said.

"Wait what do you mean drained out of you," Sunset asked.

"Exactly as it means Sunset I felt it as well at the portal as if someone just sucked it right out of me," I said causing the group to turn to me and see me almost collapse onto a bench.

"Ash you shouldn't be moving are you alright?" Sunset said as she provided me support.

"I'm fine but what happened back there?" I asked.

"Ash I don't know how to say this but the portal's gone," Sunset said.

"Gone how?" I asked.

"As in it's not there anymore the magic's been sucked out of it," Sunset said.

"So we're dealing with another magic thief?" I asked.

"Yeah but I think Twilight may be the culprit," Sunset said.

"Hey where is that other Twilight?" Applejack asked.

"Oh she's right uh...um well she was right here," Pinkie said.

"Ok well I'm going to go try and figure out how to reactivate the portal so I gen get home meanwhile you guys keep your eyes on Twilight last thing we need is more magic going haywire," I said before I left.

I was up most of the night trying to fix the statue I tried giving it my magic even the magic from Sunset's book to get it working but it was like trying to apply fuel to a car with no motor so I was stumped.

"Hey Ash wake up,"

I slowly opened my eyes to see Sunset shaking me.

"C'mon Sunset leave me be," I said as I shut my eyes.

"Have you been up all night?" Sunset asked.

"Most of it," I said as I sat up and let out a yawn.

"Ok you need to get some rest," Sunset said as she helped me up and gave me a sniff. "And a wash you stink," Sunset said with a smirk causing me to chuckle

After I had a shower in one of the schools change rooms Sunset gave me an apple for breakfast and led me to the library and showed me where Twilight slept when it was her first night here after. I got into the bed made of books I was out like a light and after a few hours of sleep I felt refreshed and my magic was almost full again I looked at the time to see it was 11:04am so the first event for today should be done. I stepped outside into the sunlight I then saw Twilight talking with Fluttershy and was holding a bunny suddenly Fluttershy ponied up in front of Twilight I then saw Twilights pendent start to levitate and opened and it began to suck in Fluttershy's magic. Suddenly, portals started opening around the pair when I saw this I ran over to them and saw Spike start to chase a jackalope (a jackrabbit with horns on its head) through the portals. Spike suddenly, ran into the flow of magic between Fluttershy and Twilights amulet. But to top of the situation off a large portal opened up and a familiar white alicorn with a crimson mane and tail fell out of it but the problem was I could see through her.

"Faust!" I cried before I ran over to the alicorn.

"Ash what happened where are we?" Faust asked when she saw me.

"I'll explain later right now I think we should get you out of sight," I said as I offered my hand for the ancient alicorn. Faust took my hand but before I could pull her up she started to glow and was sucked into me causing me to black out again. "Ooohhh man that needs to stop happening to me," I said when I awoke.

"Ash?" Faust called.

"Faust is that you where are you?" I asked.

"Um up here in your head," Faust replied.

"Oh well this is fantastic," I said with my voice dripping in sarcasm," I said.

"Well at least I'm out of sight right," Faust said.

"True but now people will see me talking to myself when I'm talking to you," I said.

"I'm inside your head I can hear your thoughts you know," Faust said.

"Also true but it doesn't help privacy," I said.

"Well you'll be glad to know that I can get out of your head when ever I like," Faust said.

"That is good news could you do it now please?" I asked.

"That isn't a good idea right now Ash because my spirit is here and my body isn't and I can't go back to the world between worlds because the pathway is cut off now. Also I need to stay in your body because your magic is the only thing that is keeping me alive at the moment," Faust said.

"Well Faust I hate to be the bearer of bad news but we have a magic thief here and she stole the magic to the portal," I said.

"Magic thief and where is here?" Faust asked.

"Oh where are my manners Faust welcome to earth and as for the magic thief it's this worlds Twilight I think she's just a kid who is trying to understand this after all there is very little magic here," I said.

"I see well I must ask you to use you magic carefully remember there are two in here now," Faust said.

"Will do," I said before I checked my mana pool to see it was half empty from when Twilight last used her amulet.

"Hey is she a friend of yours?" Faust asked.

I looked around and I saw Fluttershy was unconscious.

"Crap Fluttershy!" I called as I ran over to the girl.

"Uh Ash is that you?" Fluttershy asked.

"Yeah Flutters it's me come on up we get," I said as I helped up Fluttershy and walked back over to the school entrance.

Once we were inside I saw the girls and when they saw Fluttershy's condition they panicked and bombed us with questions.

"All I did was hand Twilight a bunny then I ponied up," Fluttershy said.

"I just don't get it Rarity's magic came out when she made us outfits Pinkie's when she fixed the party and now Fluttershy," Sunset said.

"And then Twilight's pendent thingy pulled the magic right out of me I couldn't stand up or stay awake," Fluttershy said.

"Like me at the party," Pinkie said.

"Or me right before we met Twilight," Rarity said.

"So she's stealing magic," Sunset suggested.

"I don't know she doesn't seem like the magic stealing type," Applejack said.

"Yeah but she had something to do with closing the portal if the pendent can pull in magic maybe it stole the portal too," Sunset said

"So in a nutshell that Twilight has the magic I need to get myself and Faust home," I said.

"Wait Faust she's here how?" Sunset asked.

"A portal opened up to her library and her sprit was dropped here now she's taking shelter in my head until I can get her back into her body and she's using my magic as a way to anchor herself in my head. But if I'm depleted of all of my magic then Faust won't survive for very long and not only that part of my magic is going into hiding my wings so I have to get back to Equestria and soon," I said.

"We'll get the magic back into the portal as soon as we can talk to Twilight but for now let's focus on beating the Shadowbolts. And as long that puts me in a playing field I don't think we have anything to worry about," Rainbow said as we walked outside.

"Oh it puts you in a playing field alright," Applejack said as we stared at the track which was a mix of archery, speed skating and motor cross.

"Am I the only one that thinks this is overkill?" Sunset asked.

"Well I'm going onto the roof so I can get a bird’s eye view of the track and to keep my eyes on Twilight while you lot get set so I'll see you all later," I said before I climbed my way onto the roof and looked out over the track.

"Those girls you were talking too remind me of the elements of harmony back in Equestria," Faust said.

"Well technically they are the same just from different worlds," I said.

"Ah that explains it well looks like they’re going to start," Faust said.

An air horn rang out and Fluttershy and a Shadowbolt ran over obstacles so they can get to a quiver full of arrows and a bow to hit a bullseye before their partner could start. Once both archers hit a bullseye the teams speed skaters start and must complete 8 laps before the motor cross team starts and whoever wins the motor cross wins the match. The first Shadowbolt had some skill she fired three arrows at once and all three hit the target but only one got the bullseye the next Shadowbolt up was Twilight and let's face it she's no athletic. Meanwhile Fluttershy managed to hit a bullseye and Applejack ran off she made it past the obstacles with perfect ease and managed to get a bullseye on her second arrow while Twilight was struggling to hit her target. All the while her so called team mates were not helping by insulting her I was ready to teach them some manners myself.

"I know your angry Ash but you must keep your temper otherwise you may cause a scene," Faust said.

"Your right," I said before I took a breath.

I then saw Applejack go and assist Twilight when Twilight hit a bullseye she hugged Applejack and suddenly, Applejack ponied up and Twilight's pendent once more sucked out the magic. Twilight tripped over her dog Spike and the pendent opened and started opening portals all over the place.

"Aw crap this isn't good," I said.

"You'd better get down there Ash," Faust said.

"Already planning on doing that," I said before I leapt off the roof and onto the roof of the judge’s stand.

I then front flipped off that roof and as I did I saw the judges were surprised to see me I just gave them a wave before I landed in a crouching position and spirited over to the track to grab the pendent. Suddenly, I saw a plant creature had grabbed Twilight so I changed direction and delivered a kick to the plants head causing it to drop Twilight and turn its attention to me. but soon I was surrounded by more of these things as more and more portals opened.

"Damn it if only I had Whispering Wind here," I said.

"Ash you do remember you have an ability that allows you to cut objects without using any magic right Faust said.

"Oh right," I said as I offered a sheepish grin.

Suddenly, chainsaw blades made of blood extended from my right wrist and I transferred some blood to my left arm and made the teeth on the saws spin. I looked at the plant creature and gave a dark smile.

"Time to get rid of these weeds," I said before I ran at the plant and leapt at the monster and cut the head in two turning the head into quarters.

I turned to the rest of the track and saw some students were surrounded by these plants I then made a pair of chainsaw teeth that went over my legs and made them spin. Now I was wearing a pair of automatic razor roller skates and whenever I went to kick something or someone I'd hack them in two. I raced my way over to the students I leapt onto one of the creatures and let my leg saws hack it while I moved along its spine. More and more plant heads suddenly appeared and tried to take a bite out of me but the wrist saws made short work of them. I then ran out of vine to cut and leaped onto the seats. When I landed I saw a plant sneaking up on a small group of students I carved along the seats and the group of students saw me coming they all ducked as I jumped over them just as the plant was about to turn the students into a snack. I spun around and cut off the head and three quarters of the neck the trick was so awesome I wish I could have seen it in slow mode. I landed on the ground and zoomed off back to the track where I saw these things were about to cause more trouble. I saw one of the Shadowbolts bikers bike was eaten by the monstrosity of a plant and the plant was looking at her as if she was the main course as the beast was about to make its move I raced in grabbed the rider and got her to safety milliseconds before the jaws smashed into the dirt. I then got the girl safely out of the danger zone before I stopped and got her to let go of me.

"Stay here," I said earning a nod from the girl before I raced off.

I then raced onto the ramp and leapt off only to be met with twelve plant heads I just smiled before I shifted and twisted my body to use my legs and arms to hack and slice these things as I passed over them which would have been awesome to any viewers. I landed on the other ramp perfectly and skidded to a stop before I looked at my work and saw the dead plants.

"Show off," Faust said.

"I know but a friend of mine said I should show off sometimes," I said with a smirk before I saw all the remaining plants and the ones I killed get sucked back up into the portals before they closed.

I then used my leg saws and raced over to the girls

"Is everyone alright," Applejack asked

"Better then alright we won and Ash those moves were totally radical," Rainbow said as she appeared all ponied up as she went to fist bump me I almost did as well. But before I did I suddenly remembered to deactivate my wrist saw once I did and retracted the blood I fist bumped Dash. "So what is that stuff made of anyway and how did you do it?" Rainbow asked.

"Oh well the gear is actually my blood only I turn it into any object I like and the best part is that it doesn’t cost me any magic at all just a skill that a rare group of people can pull off," I said causing some of the group to go green.

"But shouldn't you be worried about your blood mixing with other stuff like dirt other blood and bacteria?" Rarity asked resisting the urge to vomit.

"Nope before I retract the blood something inside of it acts as a defence against such things so once my blood returns to my body it will be like this never happened," I said.

"And the injury?" Applejack asked but I just retracted the rest of the blood gear and showed her the healing wound.

"Well that's all fascinating but somebody could have been seriously hurt and if no one has noticed the magic is going haywire and I have no idea how to fix it," Sunset said in a frustrated and panicked tone.

"Um excuse me,"

We turned our heads to the new voice to see it was Twilight

"I didn't mean for any of this to happen I just wanted to learn about the strange energy coming from your school I didn't know it was magic or how it works," Twilight said.

"That's okay neither do we," Rainbow said as she and I stepped closer to ask if she can return what she took.

"Oh no, no, no, no, not again," Twilight cried as the pendent began to levitate once more.

The pendent opened again but to make things worse it was rapidly sucking in almost all of my magic along with Rainbow Dash I was losing magic so fast I was screaming in pain.

"I'm sorry it just started absorbing energy on its own but I'm not sure how," Twilight said.

"What do you mean you don't know how?" Sunset asked as she finished dragging me a safe distance away from the pendent and went back to close the pendent.

Suddenly a portal open above us and I could see the night sky over Equestria I could tell it was because of the constellations.

"It's also causing these rifts to appear I don't know how that works either," Twilight said.

"Is there anything you do know like how to restore our magic or how to fix the portal to Equestria?" Sunset asked angrily.

"Equestria?" Twilight asked in confusion.

"You're supposed to be so smart but of everything you shouldn't be messing around with things you don't understand," Sunset said as she closed the pendent shutting down the portal.

"But I want to understand," Twilight said.

"But you don't and worst of all you put the live of my friends in danger and your little stunt is killing Faust!" Sunset shouted as she gestured to me causing Twilight to look at me just as I revealed my wings to save my magic for Faust.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to," Twilight said before she ran off with tears in her eyes and just before my eyes grew heavy and I fell asleep.

I slowly opened my eyes to see Rosa peering down on me and the clouds have become grey.

"Hello Ash welcome back,"

"Good to be back," I said before I remembered Faust. "Still with me Faust?"

"Yes Ash," Faust replied.

"Great," I thought before I sat up and looked around and saw I was in-between two stands of seats along with the girls, Rosa, Jabir and Akachi and we were out on the front lawn. "What's going on and how long was I out for this time?" I asked.

"Few minutes tops," Jabir said.

"Somewhere on campus a pennant from each school has been hidden the first team to find their schools and bring it back wins," Vice Principal Luna announced

"And as soon as both teams are ready we'll begin," another woman said that looked a lot like Cadence.

"I don't feel like playing these games anymore," Fluttershy said.

"But we have to play this is the last event," Rainbow said.

"It's a little hard to focus with all the magic stealing and portal opening," Rarity said.

"And I feel awful about what I said to Twilight," Sunset said.

"Especially since she obviously didn't mean to do all this stuff she did she's actually really nice," Fluttershy said causing Sunset to bury her face in her hands while everyone deadpanned Fluttershy.

"Let's just get through this last event and prove we're not a bunch of cheaters then you can go over and apologise," Applejack said.

Suddenly, Twilight walked out onto the centre of the lawn her pendent held tightly in her hands but I could see that Twilight had a look of uncertainty on her face. Suddenly, Sunset then walked out onto the playing field and Vice Principal Luna was about to announce the start of the event. Twilight then pressed a button on her pendent and opened it Sunset saw what she was doing and ran to stop her but the pendent let out a small magical shockwave that knocked everyone over except Twilight. All the magic that was stolen turned into a ball of energy the same size as a baseball but was growing Twilight was frozen in place and was being lifted into the air.

"Ash you have to shut that down!" Faust screamed at me.

I gave a nod before I flew up to the orb despite the protests from Rosa and flew over towards Twilight and saw she was almost absorbed by the ball.

"Help...Me!" Twilight begged as she tried to reach out for me.

I grabbed her hand without hesitation and used all my strength and wing power to get Twilight out but I was only delaying it a lightning bolt struck my hand forcing me to let go of Twilight and she was sucked the rest of the way in. But, I wasn't giving up yet I then flew around the ball and placed my hands in it to try and absorb as much magic as possible but the magic was so great as soon as I plunged my hand in my mana pool was completely filled up.

"Ash transfer all the magic to me I should be able to take it," Faust said.

I did as instructed and transferred the magic to Faust I peered inside the orb of magic and saw Twilight was changing suddenly a bolt of magic shot out of the ball and sent me flying into a building.

Third Person P.O.V.

Both schools watched as Ash flew around the orb and gasped when he was shot into the school on the second floor but what horrified them was what Twilight Sparkle the prized student of Crystal Prep had become. She had a pair of dark purple feathered wings and her hair extended to look like a tail while the rest of her hair looked like purple coloured fire and a slightly jagged horn made of magic grew out of her forehead. She also wore glasses made of aqua flames that surrounded her eyes and she let out an evil laugh.

"You were right I didn't understand magic before but I do now," Twilight said before she charged up her magic and fired it at the Wondercolt statue smashing it and a portal opened.

"Equestria," Sunset gasped beneath the portal purple cracks appeared called mana lines and started to form all over the place even in the sky Twilight fired more magic at the lines opening more and more portals. "Twilight you can't do this," Sunset said.

"Why not there's a whole other world right there and it is just filled with magic," Twilight said as she fired another round of magic creating a new portal.

"But your destroying this world to get it," Sunset said.

"So what there's more magic there and I want to understand it all," Twilight said as she summoned a large amount of magic.

She fired it at the ground creating a large hole causing some students to almost fall in but the ground was crumbling and some students were falling in only to be saved by their fellow students. Suddenly, Jabir fell in and no one was close enough to save him so he fell as Jabir closed his eyes as he saw the ground approach but, he suddenly felt himself jerk to a halt when he opened his eyes he saw the ground of the other world getting further and further away. He then went through the portal back to his world and was gently place on the ground where he was greeted by Rosa and Akachi. Once he assured them that he was fine he looked and saw his saviour the figure wore strange armour but Jabir was able to recognize the wings, sword and helmet.

"Once again you have saved my life Ash," Jabir said.

"Maybe you should stop getting into trouble it's bad for your health," Ash said playfully before he flapped his wings and flew up to face Twilight.

The two flying beings stared at one another Twilights expression was that she was angry but Ash's expression was unreadable thanks to the helmet.

"You think you’re special just because you have a little magic and a pair of wings," Twilight sneered.

"No but unlike you I never wanted any magic or wings...," Ash said before he dived into a portal and reappeared out of another and punched Twilight across the face. "...I just wanted a home and a family...," Ash said as he crossed Twilight and disappeared into another portal and reappeared beside Twilight and punched her in her side. "...I never found out who my parents were or where I came from...," Ash said as he passed her again and went into another portal but Twilight sent a beam of magic after him only for it to blast Twilight in the back and for Ash to punch her in the face. "...but I made a home for myself in Equestria and I have a family there now...," Ash said as he disappeared again but Twilight sent out a multiple bolts of magic into each portal in hopes of hitting her target. When she looked around for her opponent and found nothing she let out a grin and was about to declare her victory but stopped when she saw a bright glow come from the large portal and heard a voice. "...but now you threaten to not only destroy my home world but the world that I protect and if you continue this path...," the glow increased and Ash appeared out of the portal only he looked different. His armour had changed slightly the shoulder pauldron were of alicorns the gauntlets had the images of a wolf's head the boots went up to Ash's knees and Ash's cutie mark was etched into the chestplate. But the more noticeable qualities was that Ash's wings had grown three times as long and a white glowing elemental circle was floating in mid-air in-between Ash's wings.

A black aura that flickered like fire and had a silver line cutting through it was coming out of the back of Ash's helmet and acted like a mane and a long dark grey straight sharp horn was sticking out of the forehead of Ash's helmet. Ash flew straight at Twilight with unmatched speed and slowed down right in front of Twilight and Ash's right hand came alive with magic as he curled it into a fist. "...THEN I WILL FIGHT TO PROTECT BOTH WORLDS!," Ash roared as he delivered an uppercut that launched Twilight upward into the air.

When Twilight managed to stop and straighten herself out she glared at Ash and was ready to annihilate him.

"This isn't the way Twilight,"

Both Ash and Twilight turned their heads to see it was Sunset who spoke.

"I know you feel powerful now like you can have everything you want I've been where you are I've made the same mistake your making I put on a crown and just like you I was overwhelmed by the magic it contained I thought it could get me everything I wanted," Sunset said.

"Oh you’re wrong unlike you I can have everything I want," Twilight said.

"No you can't even with all that power you'll still be alone true magic comes from honesty, loyalty, laughter, generosity, kindness," Sunset said as she held up the pendent and more of the girls magic was sucked in. "I understand you Twilight and I want to show you the most important magic of all...," Sunset said before she closed the pendent and threw it on the ground breaking it and like Twilight Sunset began to change as well except Sunset didn't wear the flaming glasses and dark clothes and her wings were made of fire and sun dust and she had a horn like Ash's only instead of it being dark grey it was white. "The Magic of Friendship," Sunset said as she flew next to Ash.

Sunset and Ash then used their magic to close each of the portals that had been opened angering Twilight, Twilight then charged at Ash and Sunset her fists coated in magic Sunset and Ash did the same when all the magic met it knocked them all backwards. Twilight then fired a blast of magic at the pair and Sunset and Ash did the same the magic pushed against each other but no one was gaining ground. Twilight had absorbed magic from this worlds elements of harmony but much of Ash's and since the portal was created by both Starswirl the bearded and Faust so they could travel here it made Twilight incredibly strong. Ash had gained but a fraction and Sunset was relying on the magic of friendship she just got from the girls so it was an even match. Suddenly, Spike called out to Twilight causing her to look at Spike Sunset and Ash took this as a chanced and pushed back against Twilights magic and soon Twilight was overwhelmed and the magic absorbed the three supercharged beings. When Ash, Sunset and Twilight opened their eyes their surroundings were bleached white Twilight shied away from the pair more so from Sunset when she approached.

"Take my hand Twilight let me show you there's another way just like someone once did for me," Sunset said offering her hand.

Tears started welling up in Twilight's eyes but reached out and accepted the hand an orange wisp then circled up Twilight's arm and dispersed all the magic she had inside both girls and Ash then returned to normal. But Ash's armour still had its additions and with a bright flash the white surroundings disappeared and the girls and Ash floated to the ground.

Ash's P.O.V.

"I am so, so sorry I didn't mean for any of this to happen," Twilight said.

"I know and going by my own experience I'll forgive you," Sunset said.

"You know Ash if there was ever a seventh element of harmony it would most definitely be the element of forgiveness and Sunset would be the perfect bearer," Faust said.

"I couldn’t agree with you more Faust," I thought.

Suddenly Spike started barking and leapt into Twilight's arms with her glasses in his jaws being careful not to break them.

"Principal Celestia on behalf of Crystal Prep I demand you forfeit the friendship games clearly CHS has had unfair advantage for quite some time and it's certainly obvious your student's have been using magic for their own benefit," the principal of Crystal Prep demanded.

"Is she serious I mean lives could have been lost today and she's worried about the games even Rainbow isn't this narrow minded," I said.

"Hey!" Rainbow shouted.

"I'd like to think saving the world benefits us all," Principal Celestia said.

"At least they didn't manipulate Twilight into releasing all the stolen magic and turning her into a power crazed magical creature that tried to rip the world apart just to win a game," a Shadowbolt said at Pinkie Pie speed and she turned out to be the same one I saved at the motor cross.

"Wow that's a lot to take in when you say it all at once," Pinkie said and I gave a nod.

"That's ridicules," the principal of Crystal Prep said.

"Nope that's pretty much what happened," Spike said.

"Wait you can still talk?" I asked in surprise.

"Yep but now I don't need any magic to talk now cool right," Spike said.

"Buddy I have a fire breathing dragon as a friend named Spike that's cool a dog that learned how to talk thanks to magic yeah that's like me trying to figure out Pinkie," I said.

"I'm a dragon in your world?" Spike asked excitedly.

"Well anyway I think we're all to blame 'mostly it was her'," another Shadowbolt said sincerely before it suddenly became angry.

"Obviously my students have been infected with your magic but I plan to take all of this up with the school board," the principal of Crystal Prep said.

"Good I'm sure they'd be very interested in hearing all about the magical students with wings," Principal Celestia said.

"Oh and portals to different dimensions," Vice Principal Luna added.

"And don't forget to tell them about the talking dog," Vice Principal Cadence said adding in her own piece.

"If you want my advice I'd pick out something in orange it's all the range in the asylums these days," I said.

"But that would never ruin your reputation would it," Spike added.

"Well what about his wings how are going to hide those?" the principle asked gesturing to my wings.

"What wings," I said after I made them disappear.

The principal looked like she was going to blow a fuse but she just straightened out her coat and walked away.

"Well I know these friendship games haven't been what any of us expected but given what we've all just been through I think it's fair to declare us all winners," Principal Celestia said causing everyone to cheer.
