I arrived at Canterlot Castle just outside the medical room and I told a pair of guards to inform the Princesses and anyone with them of our location. I then told to take the filly to a guest room and give her something to eat when they arrived and await further orders. Rage and I then took the two unconscious humans into the medical wing and I shouted for the doctors who came running over and placed them on a pair of beds. The two were then rolled into another room and once they were out of sight I asked a nurse if I could observe the treatment for safety concerns.

The mare nodded before she led both me and Rage through the corridors and up some steps and into an observation room that was looking into a large room that had a single window on an angled roof. On the floor below the observation room were the two humans each one on a bed and doctors were rushing about trying to revive one while trying to stop the poison in the other. After a few minutes of watching the doors opened to reveal all the princesses along with Applejack and Rainbow Dash.

"Hey you guys where are the others?" I asked.

"They're exhausted so we left them in Ponyville and Pip, Midnight and my daughter are being looked after by Shining, Discord and Eris," Cadence said.

"I see," I said as I turned back to the scene below.

"So these are the two humans that fell from space?" Chrysalis asked.

"Yeah," I said.

"One of them looks different from when we first saw them though," Twilight said.

"That there fella with the fox skull on his head looks a lot creepier then when we first saw him?" Applejack said.

"Believe me Applejack he's a lot creepier when he's awake those two led us into the Wasteland were they were attacked by five scorpions. Each one as big as a house and another that was five times bigger that could grow severed limbs back almost immediately. Yet those two fought them all off even in their messed up state," Rage said.

"Seriously?" Rainbow asked.

"Yeah their power levels are almost as on par as both Rage and mine. But, what surprised me more is the fact that the one with the large hole in his chest, took an Alicorn Stone dagger to the chest. But, the blade broke on contact against his bare skin," I said causing the mares to look at the human in surprise.

"Ash why did either you or Rage have an Alicorn Stone dagger to begin with?" Twilight asked.

"We didn't Twilight we just forgot to mention that those two were ambushed by Templars after they fought the scorpions those two killed first and asked questions later with them," I said.

"So are you saying they're a threat Ash?" Celestia asked.

"Not necessarily there was a Thestral filly with the Templars but they spared her and looked to have a friendly chat before they passed out," I said.

"And where is this filly now?" Celestia asked.

"A guest room I have some questions I need to be answered and after that I'll send her home if she has one," I said before I saw Faust wave to someone out of the corner of my eye.

"And if she doesn't what will happen?" Twilight asked.

"I'm afraid to say she'll need to be put into the system and will have to find a family," I said causing the mares to give off sad looks.

I looked back into the room and saw Evo had come around but the doctors had placed a white sheet over the Wanderer's body. And when that happened Evo threw a massive fit and tried to break his restraints. But, the doctors then preformed a sleeping spell on him and he calmly fell asleep once more.

"That's going to be on my conscious," I said as I slumped into a chair.

"I doubt there was anything you could have done sugarcube," Applejack said.

"Well maybe you could have used the Life Fire to save him," Rainbow said causing me to rest a hand over my eyes in depression and Rainbow cried out from getting hit by Applejack.

"Aren’t ya supposed to be making Ash feel better," Applejack scolded.

"Rainbow's actually right I did think of using it but I wasn't strong enough to summon it and we were running out of time," I said.

“If you weren’t strong enough Ash then that the only excuse you need but that’s not important right now you have a soul to comfort in its time of need,” Faust said as she placed a hand on my shoulder.

I removed my hand from my face and looked out the window to see the doctors move Evo out of the room while the doctors took the body probably the morgue.

"Your right," I said as I stood up. "I'm going to talk to the other human and try to learn what I can however...," I said stopping the others as they made their way to the door. "I'm going to do this on my own."

The others gave me a single nod before I walked out of the observation room and over to where the doctors were taking Evo. When I arrived outside his room they told me that I was to let him rest. With a nod I informed them to contact me as soon as I can speak to him before I left and after a light dinner I settled into bed with Luna in her old room.

I woke up and saw Luna wasn't with me in bed so I got up and did the usual routine before I left the room and saluted the two guards that were standing outside the door before I walked down the corridor. Suddenly, I hear the sound of running and I turn to see a nurse running through the hallways.

"Hey miss what's the rush!" I called out getting her attention and causing her to run towards me.

"Oh sir Ash I have been looking all over for you I came to let you know that the human's injury have fully healed and awake so if you have timey you can see him," the nurse said.

"Excellent and thank you for keeping me informed," I said before I ran to the hospital wing.

I ran to the room and I took a breath and summoned my courage before I entered and saw Evo sitting up against the headrest and looking at the celling. I then politely coughed into my fist to get his attention and saw him look at me.

Glad to see your up how're you feeling?" I asked as I walked over and pulled out a chair and placed it on the ground and sat on it in reverse.

"It hurts," was all Evo said.

"I see," I said before we entered an uncomfortable silence. "Look man I know there is nothing I can say or do to cheer you up after losing someone. But please understand the doctors did everything they could and I kinda feel partly responsible for not getting him here sooner."

Evo then looked at me with a piercing glare before he said "Do you know why it hurts?"

I sat in silence unnerved by his glare and simply shook my head in response

"It hurts because the closest friend I have had for a millennia, a friend I considered my brother just died and I'm all alone in the universe now. I have no one, and I have no way to get back home and save everyone," Evo yelled.

I sat in silence and processed his words before I let out a sigh.

"I wish I could help you really I do but what would you want me to do I can't revive your friend save for necromancy and trust me that's the last thing you'll want for him. Also no one I know of whose strong enough would have brought you here and the others aren't as powerful enough to do that so that must mean you came by your own means. Quite frankly you guys just showed up on our doorstep and beat in one of my own guards for no reason making you guys seem hostile to all of us and yet despite this and everything I've seen I try and save your life," I said.

"I know you can’t bring him back it just hurts. Plus no one brought us here, my brother didn't get the chance to set up a shield right before we teleported from our fight. Now I believe you have some questions to ask me," Evo said.

"Yes I do and for now I'm going to ask simple questions so first off can you tell me both your name and your partners name and where you come from?" I asked.

"I go by many names. There's the Courier, Evo and Evan. You don't use that last one until you gain my trust. My brother went by The Wanderer, That crazy son of a bitch, Ethan smith, and if you were close to him Wade," Evo said as I looked forward. "We don't really remember our parents name seeing how we are over a thousand years old, and we came from a planet call Equis. Though before that we were on a planet called Earth,"

"Equis and here I thought both Rage and I were the only ones here unless that multiverse theory bullshit is actually accurate," I said.

"We arrived by the means of teleportation thanks to a void dweller named the Merchant. I'm however not able to give his real name or he might do something rash. And if you’re wondering why he did it, he may have do it for fun. Ethan and I aren't the only ones he has sent to a version of Equestria," Evo said.

"Well if he's anything like The Outsider then there's nothing I can do," I said as I let out a sigh.

"Yea, can't really help it," Evo said with a chuckle. "So anything else of importance you want to ask?"

"Yeah two more things actually and a small request," I said.

"What are they?" Evo asked.

"First is simple I need to know what terms you were on with the princesses if you have them in your Equestria and don't lie cause I will know," I said.

"Well we were pretty close to the princesses, Ethan more than me. Luna is his wife. And I was preparing to ask Twilight out," Evo said with a sigh.

"I see that explains why he screamed her name before and buddy you won't have much luck with this Twilight she has somepony already," I said.

"Well I don't plan to stay here for long. I need to go back and save Equestria," Evo said

"Which brings me to my second question and keep in mind you don't have to answer if it's personal but it would help me understand your problem so I can try and help. What was it you were fighting before you came here and why did they attack?" I asked.

"We were fighting the Caribou. Somehow they were able to defeat us before we teleported. And the reason why, was to stop them from turning all the mares in Equestria into sex slaves," Evo said in anger.

I could understand why Evo was pissed I myself was so pissed my right arm became demonic and Death Fire blazed around it making the temperature in the room plummet till ice started forming on the windows. When I looked at Evo I saw he had a look of slightly scared caution and was trying to move away from me. When I looked at my hand I snuffed out the flames and returned my arm to normal

"Sorry about that still learning to get control on that part of myself," I said.

"The hell was that?" Evo asked in shock

"Let's just say it was the devil inside of me," I said and Evo was about to respond but was interrupted when we heard the sound of armour on hooves running down the hall and I saw some guards pass in front of the door. "Trooper where are you all off to?"

"An alarm has gone off in the morgue sir were on our way to check it out," a guard said before he ran off.

"Want to go check it out?" Evo asked.

"You want to come?" I asked with a smirk as I stood up.

"Hell yea!" Evo shouted as he teleported off from the bed and next to me similar to how both Corvo and I teleport which Coro called blink.

"Better keep up then boy," I said as I ran out the door with Evo not too far behind.

Both Evo and I ran to the morgue and along the way we met Rage and I introduced both of them to each other. When we arrived at the doors to the morgue I saw about ten guards in front and one was trying to kick the door down. I ordered the guards to stop which they did so immediately and one of the guards explained there was a mare inside who refused to open the door for anyone and wanted to be left alone and that they couldn't teleport inside. I then saw Evo begin to walk towards the door and I saw some guards reach for their weapons but I signalled them to stop.

"Who's in there?" Evo asked.

"Who the fuck do you think?!" a feminine voice yelled from the other side of the door.

"I don't know who you are mam, but I'm about to break this door down. You can come out peacefully or they will use force," Evo said.

"Just go away," the mare demanded.

"Miss I need you to get away from the door," I said as I summoned Whispering Wind and drew it.

"I don't care go away!" the mare yelled again.

I gestured for Evo to move away from the door and I swung Whispering Wind at the door and a blast of wind came from the blade and sliced the door open followed by a small dust storm. When I walked inside I sheathed Whispering Wind and saw the same woman from when Ethen Smith transformed and next to him was a similar woman only with wings wrapped around herself.

"Why are there two of you?" Evo asked.

"Dude I'm not a chick!" the woman with the wings yelled.

"Okay just what the fuck is going on here?" Rage asked.

"Nothing I just came back from the dead and this is what happened to me," the woman said as she opened her wings exposing herself.

I looked away from the woman and saw the guards were beginning to eyeball her and I heard her let out a girlish eep.

"As you were the lot of you!" I shouted causing all the guards to snap out of their trance and leave before I looked back at the woman. She had wrapped her wings around herself once more and I looked at Evo as he stepped in front of me.

"Evangeline who's this?" Evo asked causing the woman without wings to stand up in front of him.

"I knew you were dense but not this dense I thought you'd be able to recognize your own brother or should I say sister now," the woman named Evangeline said.

I then noticed the winged woman which was now known to be Ethan Smith shiver from the cold air flowing into the room. So I summoned a brown blanket before I walked over to her and wrapped it around her and she pulled it over her before she thanked as I walked back over to Rage.

"Yea Evan, don't you recognize me?" Ethan asked as she stood.

"Ethan? But how?" Evo asked in shock.

"Hey don't ask me, ask her," Ethen said as she jabbed a thumb to Evangeline causing Evo to look over to her.

"We used the souls he collected along with his magic and I tried to turn him back to normal using my powers but the spell backfired and started to suck my powers from me. Though I don't know where the wings came from," Evangeline said.

"Well before we continue this conversation, can we get something to eat? Dying and being resurrected made me hungry," Ethan whined.

"Alright I'll take you three to the dining room to grab something Rage can you go tell the royals about our situation and tell them to meet up with us when they're able to?" I asked.

"Sure thing," Rage said before he left.

"Well let’s get a move on!" Ethen said as she ran over to the door way but I teleported in front of Ethan causing her to stop.

"Can you summon some clothes cause if so it may be a good idea unless you want a lot of ponies to be staring at you," I said as I gestured to the blanket covering her body.

"Oh yea. Sorry kind of forgot," Ethan said with a blush before she snapped her fingers creating a bright light.

When the light died down she was wearing pair of white jeans that had a black line going down the side along with some bandages wrapped around her breasts. She also had a white jacket over it that had black strips causing me to give a nod of satisfaction.

"For the record the name’s Ash Blade and you met my brother Burning Rage and now I believe some of you have some questions to be answered," I said before I turned around and gestured for them to follow me while I began to walk down to the dining room.

"Ash what's your statues here?" Evo asked.

"Basically...Protector I'm part of a small group known as the Knights of Equestria and we are a force that handle the most serious threats in Equestria. There were five before me and my brother and I've been labelled as the sixth Knight of Equestria or Knight of Freedom if you prefer," I said.

"Okay my question is, why did we run into Templars? And what did you do with Nightshade?" Ethen asked.

"The Templars were a shock to me too but they have been labelled as a terrorist group and I'm hunting them down one by one with a small team of mine for a while now. And as for Nightstreak which I assume is the filly you were with before you 'died' she's fine she's in a guest room right now and that reminds me that I need to ask you about something later. But first I have a question how'd you know they were Templars? Cause I never told you their name," I said

"Well back on Earth a company that went by the name Ubisoft created a series of games that involved a creed of assassins that would hunt down Templars and spread free will to the weak. The games time line went from 75383 BC to the industrial period. The game's name was Assassin's Creed and I loved playing those games." Evo said.

"Hmm...Tell me did these assassins have a blade on their wrist like this?" I asked as I summoned a hidden blade onto my right hand and extended it to show them and I heard sounds of awe at the sight.

"Yea they did." Evo said as Ethan tried to touch the blade.

"Well you should know that isn't a fantasy where I'm from," I said as I retracted the blade and lowered my arm before I sent a small shock of energy at Ethan to send a message saying lay off which she responded with a small ow. "In fact three master assassins were members of the Knights of Equestria."

"Evangeline, what's going on with Ethan? He... I mean she doesn't usually act this childish," Evo said.

"I think it has something to do with the fact that he is younger now." Evangeline said.

"How old is he now?" Evo asked.

"About sixteen," Evangeline said.

"Well that's nice," Evo said before he turned back to me. "What's the most recent event revolving around Twilight and her friends?"

"Well probably Twilight and Spike getting sucked into a time portal by a mare named Starlight Glimmer who has been reformed back to good recently," I said.

"Huh I don't remember that on the show." Ethen said with a finger on her chin.

"What show?" I asked.

"Well just like Assassins creed, there was a show created by Hasbro for little girls called My Little Pony Friendship is Magic staring Twilight and her friends as they go on adventures and learn aspects about friendship," Evo said.

"Yea but they were quadruped instead of anthro," Ethan said as she hopped onto Evo's back.

At this I stopped and turned around to face them fully.

"I highly suggest you guys keep that information to yourselves for obvious reasons understood," I said.

"Yes sir!" Ethan said as she gave me a salute before giggling.

"And moving on Evangeline right?" I asked as I looked at the wingless woman.

"Yes, what is it you would like to know?" Evangeline asked.

"I've been meaning to ask but what are you and how do you just keep popping up out of nowhere?" I asked as Ethan jumped off of Evo's back and onto hers.

"I am what I known as a hollow a beast that consumes souls to fill in the void in there heart. And the reason I can just pop in and out is because I am a part of Ethan's soul." Evangeline said.

"I see that last part sounds similar to Epsilon and that first part reminds me of Rage," Ash said.

"How does my position remind you of Rage and who is Epsilon?" Evangeline asked.

"To put it simply Rage wasn't born like I was he was once my subconscious who ate a lot of demon souls to free himself from me and as for Epsilon he's my currant subconscious. Come on out and say hi Epsilon," I said before the blue figure in the same armour as mine appeared next to me.

"Hello Miss Evangeline I am Epsilon it is nice to meet someone who shares my particular situation," Epsilon said as he held a hand out to Evangeline.

Evangeline accepted his hand and shook it before Ethan chimed in

"Hey don't forget Senbonzakura and Shi!" Ethen said.

"Shi isn't that the Japanese word for death and Senbonzakura means Thousand Cherry Blossoms correct?" I asked.

"You are correct in you assumptions," a man who was presumably Senbonzakura materialized next to Evangeline.

"Glad to see my Japanese wasn't as rusty as I thought because you see I was once a samurai for an emperor a long time ago. But that's a story for another time I suppose however your name reminds me of a song Lindsey Sterling plays," I said

"That seems interesting," Senbonzakura said.

"What about me?!"

Suddenly another female appears and she seems about seven years old with both violet hair and eyes and she is wearing a black skirt along with a tight leather jacket with a pair of red sneakers.

"What do you mean what about you little one?" I asked.

"I wasn't being included in the conversation. Now I want to ask you question," Shi said with a smile.

"Alright shoot," I said returning the smile with one of my own.

"Why are your wings different?" Shi asked while pointing at my wings.

"Oh…Well uh…To put it simply I'm what's known as a Demonic Angel and my wings are proof of this the feathers on my wings symbolise the angel inside of me," I said as I pointed to the feathers on both my wings before I pointed to the webbed parts on both my wings that was below the feathered parts of my wings. "And the webbed parts they symbolise the devil in me and the reason they're like this is because my mother was an angel and my father was a demon."

Shi had a look of awe in her eyes as she looked at me while I smiled.

"Cool," Shi said.

"Glad you think so there weren't many others who thought so when I was born," I said with a small frown.

"How much further are we from the dining hall?" Ethan asked as her stomach rumbled.

"Oh almost there," I said as I shook his head pulling myself from my thoughts.

I then led the group through the hallways till we arrived in front of the dining room door.

"Are we going to be meeting anyone in there?" Ethan asked.

"Possibly the royal family but you be meeting the head chef Perfect Serve I've never met anyone walk away from one of her meals unsatisfied and rest assured she can cook meat," I said.

"That's great. I feel tired now." Ethan said as she fell asleep on Evangeline.

"Before we get in there is Blueblood male or female here?" Evan asked.

"Uh male and if your next question is he a total ass face then unfortunately it's a yes," I said.

"Well shit. I hope I don't get the 'pleasure' of meeting him." Evo said while being sarcastic about the pleasure part.

"Don't worry I know what it's like cause I have to put up with him but I wouldn't worry I gave him something to remind him to stay as far away from me as possible," I said and as I began to open the doors Epsilon disappeared and when I looked inside I saw all the royals were here along with Rage, Discord, Eris, Shining Armour and my foals. Along with the white and blonde maned dick of a prince. "Although I could be wrong."

"Huzah!" Ethan shouted before she looked back and forth noticing everyone in the room looking at us. "Uh Hi." she said with a little wave before she yawned.

"Oh joy the monster has brought more pea brained apes to our land at least two of them would set a fine example at being utter whores," Blueblood said aiming his gaze at both Ethen and Shi

I looked to Shi and saw her start to cry and I was about to go break Blueblood's legs when all of a sudden I hear the sound of a blade being drawn and I saw Ethan standing there right beside Blueblood with Senbonzakura in her hand.

"You remind me of someone I really don't want to think of right now so be a good doggy and stay down." she said with a tone that could turn a sun to ice.

"Hey Blueballs want my advice leave now before I do something far worse then what she has planned," I said as I thumbed towards the exit.

I watched as Blueblood stormed out the room with his tail between his legs and saw Ethan resheathe Senbonzakura and walked over to Shi before crouching and giving her a hug calming her down.

"Ash I don't care if he talks about me, but if he talks about the people I care about again you better be near me." Ethen warned.

"Noted but honestly there wouldn't be many that would give two shits about him," I said.

"Ash!" Celestia screamed.

"Aw come off it Celestia you know I'm right and you heard what he said just now and if it were up to me I would probably feed him to some scarabs," I said.

"Alright Ash that will do let's just please drop this topic enjoy our breakfast and you can introduce us to our visitors," Faust said.

"As you say," I said with a sigh as I went to sit down at the table.

"Finally!" Ethan said. "Death really makes you hungry."

"I hope you haven't killed anyone when you mean death," Chrysalis said giving Ethan a critical eye.

"What she means Chrysalis is that when we first saw him he was both a dude and dead," I said.

"Yea I kind of died. Hasn't been the first time though." she said as we walked over to the table and sat down on the left side.

"I think I'm going to lose my appetite if we continue on with this conversation," Twilight said.

Hang on a second you were a guy before what the hay happened and how the buck are you alive?" Rainbow asked.

"Rainbow language around foals remember also I believe Evangeline can answer that one," I said as I sat at the table next to Luna.

"Well like I said before I used the souls Ethan had collected over the years and his magic. I tried to turn him human again but the spell back fired and started to absorb a tremendous amount of my magic. I guess it used my power and body as a template. I still have no Idea where the wings came from though." Evangeline said.

"Perhaps one of the souls you collected had wings and they were added to the body as an extra a technique like this is like drawing numbers in a lottery," Faust said.

That could be a possibility or could have been where Steelclaw scratched your face and your blood mixed with his before it went back and healed? I don't really know which one." Evan said.

"Is no one going to question the fact that I collect souls?" Ethan asked.

"It's not that surprising really I could do the same thing when I was with Ash," Rage said as he ate his breakfast and Perfect Serve came out and gave us ours.

"Yea it would be the same but it’s not. Remember when my black tendril went through that Templar?" Ethan asked.

"Hard to forget," Rage said.

"Well when you heard that guy scream in agony, that was me pulling his soul out and consuming it," Ethen said as she started to eat her breakfast.

"Oh great if you keep this up I'm going to be sick," I said trying to eat my food.

"Well change of subject, anyone want to ask me anything?" she said.

"Yeah where'd ya'll come from?" Applejack asked.

"We initially came from a different universe, but we came here through the void." Evan said.

"A different universe as in that multiverse crap exists?" Rage asked.

"Well yea," Ethan said as she swallowed a mouthful of pancakes. "There are millions upon millions of different worlds out there each one with different characteristics."

I looked at Twilight and saw her eyes begin to sparkle comically and I covered my ears to protect me from the mass of questions about to spill out of her mouth. And sooner then you expected an endless flow of questions were asked in seconds it was impossible to understand her so I created a zip on her mouth and zipped Twilight's mouth closed.

"Twilight you’re asking too many questions and in so little time alright just slow it down a few notches," I said before I unzipped her mouth and saw she had an embarrassed blush on her face.

"Heh uh sorry about that," Twilight said as she rubbed the back of her head.

"I have a question where did you three come from cause I only remember two humans being brought into the medical wing," Dream Catcher said as she gestured to Evangeline, Senbonzakura and Shi.

"These are the physical manifestations of my swords,” Ethan said as she gestured to Senbonzakura and Shi before she waved towards Evangeline "and she is my hollow. She's a part of my soul."

"I have one what am I like back in your Equestria?" Shining asked.

"Well honestly, not that different. Everything looks to be the same." Ethan said before snapping her fingers and conjuring a glass of chocolate milk.

"What do you mean by not that different? Shining asked while Discord raised an eyebrow at Ethen with the glass of chocolate milk.

"Okay is Cadence your wife?" I asked as I drank the glass and not the milk.

"Yes Cadence is my wife but what does this have to do my question? Shining asked as Discord stared at Ethan in shock while I looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

"Let me get to the point. DO you also rule the Crystal Empire along with her and did you used to be the captain of the guard?" Ethen asked with a chuckle at Discord’s reaction.

"Um yes," Shining said.

"Then the only difference I can see is that you're a mare where I'm from," Ethan said with a shrug.

I immediately got the urge to laugh and I could tell I wasn't the only one I saw Twilight, Luna, Discord, Eris, Rage and Rainbow and the resistance didn't last long before we all began to laugh our heads off.

"Oh man Shining's a mare!" Rage hollered.

"That actually gives me some ideas for later," Cadence said seductively as she leaned in closer to Shining causing him to gulp audibly.

"Oh bro I feel bad for you," Ethen said.

"I'm so glad that I'm not you," Senbonzakura said as he sipped some tea.

"Hey Cadence," Evo said.

"Yes...um I'm sorry this is embarrassing but I'm not aware of any of your names," Cadence said.

"Oh sorry, where are my manners," Ethan said as she threw the chocolate milk behind her causing it to shatter. "I go by The Wander, That crazy son of a bitch and Ethan Smith this is Shi," Ethan said placing a hand on top of Shi's head and ruffling her hair. "That's Senbonzakura," Ethan said as pointed at him before she gestured to Evangeline. "And that's Evangeline."

"And I go by The Courier or Evo." Evo said.

"I see and since you come from an alternate Equestria is there anyone here you don't know?" Cadence asked.

"Yes, there is," Ethan said as he gestured to Faust, Chrysalis, Dream Catcher and Eris.

"Well allow us to introduce ourselves I'm Eris goddess of chaos and daughter of Discord," Eris said proudly.

"I am Dream Catcher the princess of dreams," Dream Catcher said

"I am Chrysalis princess of nature," Chrysalis said.

"And I am Faust Queen and Creator of Equestria," Faust said causing the new group to stare in shock.

"Well that was unexpected." I said as the shock wore off.

"Now that I think about it, I distinctly remember Luna and Dream Catcher trying to enter my dreams earlier today." Evan said.

"Oh so it was you that forced us out," Luna said.

"Anyway Evo you were asking me a question?" Cadence asked.

"Ah yes, would you like to know the name of Shining's female counterpart?" Evan asked.

"Oh yes please," Cadence said excitedly.

"Ethan if you would." Evan said causing a devious smile to form on Ethan's face.

"Her name was Gleaming Shield, and let me tell you she was drop dead gorgeous." Ethan said as she rested he chin on her hands.

"Be sure to remind me later to ask about the details but for now I wish to ask a question," Cadence said.

"Fire away," Ethan said.

"Was there a special somepony for you back in Equestria," Cadence asked also resting her chin on her hands.

The smile on Ethan's face vanished as he sat back in the chair and looked at the ceiling for a few seconds.

"Yea there was," Ethan's said in a monotone.

"Oh...I'm sorry if it was personal," Cadence said noticing Ethan's expression.

"It's not the case Ash you can tell them what happened before we got here if you like," Ethan said sadly.

"I wasn't going to say a word actually," I said.

"Okay let’s change the topic to a happier note. Anyone else want to ask us something, anything?" Evo asked.

"No I want to know what happened before you came here?" Chrysalis asked in a demanding tone.

"Chrysalis drop it," I said.

"Ash it's important that we...," Faust started but stoped when I glared at her causing her to close her mouth while everyone went quiet.

"I said drop it and if you’re worried that they were a threat to the other Equestria then I can vouch for them being friendly. Now if anyone needs me I'm going to the training yard Faust I want to try that spell again," I said as I stood up and began to walk to the door.

"Alright Ash," Faust said before she stood up and walked over to Ash.

"Hey wait up I wanna give it a shot as well," Rage said as he got up and followed us out the doors.

I walked down the hallway with Faust and Rage in silence till Faust spoke.

"Ash I'm sorry for pushing the subject back there I should've known better then then to mistrust your judgement," Faust said.

"It's alright Faust I know you were just curious but you just need to trust me when I say you really don't want to know what happened," I said as we entered the training grounds.

Rage and I then lied down and shut our eyes before I felt Faust's magic wash over me and when I opened my eyes I was in a snowy pine tree forest. I tested my magic and felt my wings on my back and I saw I was also in my assassin robes with Whispering Wind on my back. I then saw a shotgun was also on my back and on my thighs were Salvation and Damnation. I also had both hidden blades on my wrists and when I looked at Rage I saw he was also in his robes with Fury and Hate on his hips and he also had a shotgun on his back and hidden blades on his wrists.

"How do you both feel?" Faust asked around us.

"Not bad so this is virtual reality...it's feels like average everyday life," Rage said as he tested his body.

"Well duh it's supposed to be like that which means we'll feel pain in here too but fortunately it won't affect our actual bodies," I said.

"Total relief there," Rage said.

"Alright Ash, Rage your job is to take out a target however you have to do this without being hit," Faust said.

"Seriously?" Rage asked.

"Seriously," Faust said.

"Alright so what are we up against?" I asked.

Suddenly a tree next to us is ripped apart from something flying through the trunk causing the tree to fall. Soon the air is filled with gunfire and both Rage and I ducked behind a tree to avoid it.

"Who the hell is shooting at us!?" Rage shouted.

I carefully peeked out from behind cover and saw who we were dealing with and saw people in World War 2 Nazi snow gear.

"We've got Nazis Rage," I said.

"Oh well that's great what's next a tiger tank?" Rage asked causing me to peek over the trunk again and see a tiger tank rolling through the trees before I looked at Rage. "There's a tiger tank isn't there?"

"You opened your mouth not my fault," I said before I looked over at the metal monster and saw it aim its main gun at us. "Oh shit!"

I lunged at Rage and pulled him to the side and laid flat on the ground just as a loud boom went off from the tank that tore through the trunk of the fallen tree from where I was moments ago.

"Oh sweet. That seems like a very complex spell." I heard Ethan say.

"Oh so you lot are here enjoying the show?" I asked as I climbed of Rage.

"It's certainly interesting." Evo said.

"I think it looks fun." Ethan said

"Ash what's going on and what is that metal contraction?" Luna asked.

"Uh everyone who doesn't know welcome to World War 2 and that thing is a Nazi tiger tank heavy armour and weapons and Rage and I need to kill someone without taking a single shot from these guys," I said.

"Whoa Faust don't you think you’re setting the bar kinda high," Rainbow asked.

"Calm down they can handle it besides they'll just restart at the beginning if they're hit," Faust said.

"Comforting now who exactly do we need to kill Faust?" Rage asked.

"You'll know when you see him," Faust said.

"Great so Ash you have a plan?" Rage asked.

"I'll draw their attention you flank them and take out one or two MG nests and anyone in your way I'll take care of the tank," I said.

"Understood," Rage said.

"Hey Luna you mind playing a song called Steel for Humans on my IPod for me? I asked.

"Of course Ash," Luna said.

"Epsilon I need you to get ready when we move," I said as I pulled my hood over my head and put my mask on and Rage pulled on his hood.

"Understood Ash," Epsilon said as he appeared in front of me for a moment before he disappeared.

Suddenly a song began to play through the forest that began to get my blood pumping.

"Let's go!" I shouted before I stood up and vaulted over the fallen tree and drew Salvation and Damnation

I felt Epsilon power in my left eye and suddenly I saw yellow triangles appear above my targets and when they were about to fire at me they would fill up with red and the bullets were red making them easy to detect. The whole world had slowed down enough for me to see what I was doing while to everyone else who saw me I would moving at average speed.

I ran forward and used both Damnation and Salvation to take out any of the Nazis that were either about to fire or were firing at me dodging hundreds of bullets at the same time. I then grabbed a Nazi who was dumb enough to try and stab me with a bayonet before I tossed him to the ground. I then unloaded several magic bolts of bullets into his chest so quickly you'd think the pistol was an SMG resulting the snow beneath the Nazi wad painted red with blood. I then did a 360 degree twirl while crouching and shooting several targets that were about to shoot.

I holstered Salvation and drew Whispering Wind and sent a blast of wind at a tree slicing it and causing the tree to fall on at least five Nazis. Suddenly, I saw a warning indicating the tank was about to fire so I turned to look at it and saw it about to fire the round blew out of the barrel. So I pointed Whispering Wind at the massive round of ammo and watched as it glided over the blade before I tilted Whispering Wind slightly. The blade hit the round of ammo redirecting it causing it to miss me ever so slightly.

I then saw two Nazis in front of me and another two on either side of me so I sheathed Whispering Wind and pulled out Salvation again and waited for the four to shoot. Once they did I leaped into the air and twisted around dodging all the bullets they fired before I shot the two Nazis in front of me while the other two shot each other.

I landed in a kneeling position and saw a Nazi about to shoot Rage in the back so I transformed into a wolf and ran at the Nazi and jumped on his back before I bit into his neck. Once I did I turned back to my normal form and teleported into the branches above a small group of Nazis. I then pulled out a rope dart and threw it at a Nazi and leaped off the branch pulling the Nazi up into the branches. As soon as I landed I lunged at two Nazis and stabbed my hidden blades into their necks and rolled off them as they hit the ground.

I then used my skills and hidden blades to engage in close quarters combat against the rest of the Nazis killing them swiftly and efficiently before I saw the tank about to fire again. I lunged to the side and went into a roll right as the round fired missing me again and once I recovered from the dodge I saw an MG nest filled with about ten Nazis and were about to shoot me.

But before they could I used the rope launcher and shot it at the machine gun and yanked it towards me and once I caught it I aimed it at the Nazis and unleashed a storm of bullets on them. I then dropped the gun and looked at the tank and saw it aim at me.

"Okay I've had enough of you," I said.

I teleported in front of the tank and kicked it causing the tank's front to go upwards while the back still touched the ground. I then drew Whispering Wind and slashed at the tank causing the air to ripple like water before I turned around and began to walk away from the tank while the main gun spun around to face me. I then began to slowly sheathe Whispering Wind as the tank began to load another round and once I almost finished sheathing Whispering Wind I quickly sheathed it with a snap. The tank fell apart before it exploded raining pieces of burning metal down around me.

Suddenly I was surrounded by Nazis while the commander demanded in Austrian that I surrendered however I just stood there staring at all of the but did nothing the commander then ordered his troops to shoot. While I flexed the fingers on my right hand cracking them the Nazis aimed their rifles at me and once the commander gave the order the Nazis fired. But I held out my hand and all the bullets stopped around me before I flicked my hand sending the bullets back to the Nazis killing the ones that shot at me but leaving a small army left.

The commander then gave another order to use blades on me while I reached for both Whispering Wind and my shotgun and drew them just as the Nazis charged. I used the shotgun to thin out their ranks and then used Whispering Wind if they got too close. This went on for a few minutes and I was beginning to be overwhelmed and Epsilon suggested an idea so as I fought I summoned as much energy as I could into me.

Once I had the energy stored it lifted me into the air and I unleashed it all with a cry of anger causing a sphere of pure magic energy to rush out of me turning anything close to me into embers. The Nazis further away were killed with the electric shockwave before they were sent flying along with a ton of snow and extinguishing the tanks flames before I touched back onto the ground. I sheathed Whispering Wind and placed my shotgun on my back before I looked around and saw the commander trying to flee. But, with a flick of my wings I sent a feather blade after the commander and hit him with deadly accuracy before I heard footsteps behind me and saw it was Rage.

"Talk about going overboard I think you made a new clearing here," Rage said before he tossed me a German K43 Sniper Rifle.

"What's this for?" I asked.

"I found our target and you would not believe who it is," Rage said before he walked away.

I followed Rage and he led me up a tree and climbed up with me not far behind and when I made it to the a branch Rage was sitting on he pointed to a small town that appeared to almost be in ruins about 5 clicks north west of our position.

"Under the bell tower that's almost in shambles and is ready to come down any second it's in the centre of the town," Rage said.

I followed Rage's instructions and looked through the scope of the rifle and who I saw was a massive surprise.

"Hitler our target is Hitler?" I asked.

"Looks that way," Rage said.

"Well let's take him out then," I said as I checked the mag and saw it was full before I reloaded it and slid the bolt back then forth to load the bullet.

I then looked down the scope and aimed for Hitler's head but I then remembered something and I looked at the top of the tower and saw a bell.

"What are you doing Ash?" Rage asked.

"Getting a unique kill Rage just watch the bell tower closely," I said I lined the crosshairs up with the rope holding the bell up before I smirked. "For whom the bell tolls."

I pulled the trigger and I watched the bell and saw the rope snap causing the bell to fall from its perch and onto Hitler and bringing the bell tower down on any Germans around it.

"Nice kill Ash," Rage said giving me a thump on the back.

"C'mon let's get out of here," I said as I tossed the gun away and saw a portal open underneath us.

I gestured for Rage to jump first which he did in a leap of faith style and I followed right into the white light.

I sat up and let up a groan as I rubbed my head before I looked at the others and saw them staring at me and Rage.

"So I take it you all enjoyed the show?" I asked

"Dude you were untouchable," Rainbow exclaimed.

"That looked so much fun!" Ethan said as she jumped into the air.

"Well you’re free to try it out but for now I need to go brush up on a few things from my past," I said.

"I know what you mean Ash and I've had the books placed in the Archives you can go have a look if you wish also I believe Amalthea is there too," Faust said.

"Thanks and as for you guys enjoy yourselves and I'll see you later," I said before I walked off.

"I would like to try. But before I do, can I ask a few questions about the spell," Ethan said.

"Who me or Faust?" I asked as I looked back at Ethan.

"Oh uh Faust," Ethan said.

"I see alright check in with you guys later," I said before I walked out of the arena.

"Okay," Ethan said as I left.
