The rest of the party was mostly uneventful, but there was a few exceptions. Like when Rainbow tried and failed to prank Daniel, at first she tried to replace his punch drink with sour lemon juice but he saw this and switched them around when she wasn't looking which lead to her almost screaming when she took a drink. When the party was over Daniel was starting to take Annabelle home, he just got to the door and opened it when he was stopped by someone calling his name.

"Cosmos." He turned around to see Twilight and Fluttershy beside each other, both looking at him. Twilight was rubbing the back of her head. "I would like to say, Thanks."

"For what?" He asked with a raised eyebrow but they couldn't see it from the darkness of his hood that mostly covered his face.

"For standing up for Fluttershy like that, when Gilda scared her." He chuckled.

"I always stand up for my friends." He turned to Annabelle when he hear her yawn. "I think somepony is tired." He still hated having to say that word.

"N-No I am...not." She had half closed eyes and had trouble keeping them opened.

"I think we should be heading back. See you tomorrow." He put Annabelle onto his back, waved goodbye to Twilight and the others and went back home.

"Bro." She asked still lying on his back.

"Yes strawberry?"

"When are we going to say goodbye to our parents? You said we would." Daniel stopped walking and his heart almost sank when she said that. Memories of the times he spent on Earth flashed through his head, his first day at school, when he met his best friend Josh, when Annabelle was first born and with that thought he felt the pain in his chest get more sore.

"I failed to protect them, and I can't bring back the dead so the most I can do now is keep you safe and happy. I won't fail you Annabelle."
Something was nagging Daniel in the back of his mind telling him that they should hold a memorial for their parents. He was almost leaking tears when he realized the full extent of having them gone meant. All this time he has been dealing with things, from Annabelle's needs, to helping others and now that he has just finished having fun at a party, his mind felt more clear and the full effect hit him. No more Holidays as a family, Christmas would not be the same, and their birthdays would feel dark and dull. All the things that were colorful and happy before, now all seem dim and grey.

"Bro? Are you alright?" She asked while getting off his back.

"I will be ok. We will hold a memorial for them when we are back home." Annabelle seemed to be happy with that decision. "How much has..." He looked around to check there was no one close by and continued when he saw there was nobody around. "How much has Alpha taught you?"

"He taught me about some of the history of this place from some of the books he found. I know about the holidays, the Nightmare Moon event, a famous unicorn called starswirl the bearded, the three pony tribes...you know, basic history." Daniel was going to either regret this or love it.

"Strawberry, how would you like to go to ponyville's school?" Her face brightened up greatly and she looked fully awake.

"I would love to, I can make new friends and learn new things." She jumped around Daniel which almost toppled him over. "Thank you so much." He just chuckled at how she was acting, he still needed to make some rules.

"Ok, now if I let you go you must promise me a few simple things." She let go of him and listened with a smile and Daniel swore he could see a halo over her head.

"Anything." Her smile did not disappear.

"Let's get back home first then I will tell you." With that they walked back home. Along the way Daniel took a look at the sky and saw it was perhaps the best night sky he had ever seen, there were lots of stars and they were shining like diamonds rather than just small dotted lights like back on Earth. He shook his head and continued walking to his home. When they got in he locked the door and went to their Everfree home then he changed them back to human before turning on some lights. He sat down in a chair while Annabelle ran up the stairs to her room. Daniel had always kept the blinds over the windows closed and with them being as thick as they were the light from within the house was not visible from the outside. This was to stop any passers from seeing the house. Annabelle later came back down wearing her PJs and getting the covers and pillow he made for her a few nights ago, before sitting on the couch with them still in hand.

"You still have them? Why don't you sleep in one of the beds in the bedroom?"

"I found this couch comfy when I first slept on it, more so than the beds, that's why. Anyway what do you want me to promise?" She was still sitting up on the couch but she place the pillow on the arm of it and was still holing on to the covers.

"One. You can't say what we truly are. Two. You can't say anything about our home and three, you can't say what I am or what I am capable of, ok?"

"Is rule three and one not the same?" Daniel understood what she meant.

"I mean you can't say I am the shadow or about my other form." After the events of nightmare moon talk about the shadow creature started to spread between their friends and the princesses. Daniel told her that he was the shadow creature that attacked Nightmare Moon and showed her once when they were going back to their house, she was a little scared of that form but she knew it was still him so it was not that much of a scare for her.

"Ok then. Wait...other form?" Daniel remembered he never showed her his other form that he made to try and cheer her up.

"Yes. I noticed you were feeling down a while ago and made it but forgot about it." Daniel changed into his Mew form and her eyes expand.

"Oh...my...Goodness. You are so cute!" Daniel changed back to his normal form.

"Are you ready?" Daniel made a picture appear and it had him, Annabelle and their parents on it.

"For what?" She asked.

"To say our farewell to mum and dad." She was clearly upset when she heard that but agreed. They two of them walked outside and found a small clearing not to far from their house. Daniel held a candle so she could see him in the dark of the Everfree and not get lost.

When they were in the clearing he sat down on the grass and used his powers to make a circle of flowers grow. He then placed the family photo in and stood back next to Annabelle.

"I really have no idea if I am doing this the right way. But it's the best way I can think of doing it as their bodies are destroyed." He looked at Annabelle. "Say what you want to say to them as you would if you were to see them one last time." He stood back as Annabelle stepped forward and spoke what she wanted to say. Daniel did the same thing next.

He knew what to say but he just said what his heart told him. He thanked them for what they did and for being there for him. Talked about how lucky he was to have them as parents and that he would miss them. He walked back over to Annabelle who was clearing some tears off her face.

"Feeling better?" He asked.

"Yeah. I feel like I got a burden off of my chest. Things I wanted to tell them that I didn't get to." Daniel picked her up.

"Well, I am sure they are watching us and smiling." He tried to reassure her and she smiled before yawning.

"Sleepy time for you little miss." He went back to their house after taking a quick glace at the picture and circle of flowers one last time. When he was back he put the covers over Annabelle and put the pillow behind her head as she fell asleep.

Daniel sat on the chair and sighed. He felt relaxed. Like everything was going right for once and nothing needed to be sorted out or fixed.

After a few more minutes had passed, he decided to head to the lab so he got up and went to the lab door, once he entered it he found the bots still working on the generators but did not see Alpha so he approached one of the red eyed bots. It had metal hands on the right and left sides of its head and it was holding a blowtorch in the right and a screwdriver in the other.

"Where is Alpha?" The bot turned to look at him and then pointed to the robot factory before speaking in a emotionless mechanical voice.

"Alpha is in the control room." Daniel thanked the bot and let it get back to work.

As he walked to the factory one of his kids saw him and ran up to him.

"Hi Daddy." By the sound of the voice it was female and Daniel could not help but smile when he saw her, he always felt like he could not help smiling when he was with them.

"Hi, where are the rest?" He looked around to try and find them.

"NINJA!!!" He looked to the side to see one more jump out just as it shouted that. It almost gave Daniel a heart attack and they giggled when they saw this. "I got you there daddy." By the sound of the voice this one was male.

"Yeah, you did you little sneak. Also where did you learn what a ninja was?"

"I asked Alpha. It's someone that is known for stealth and surprise attacks, but out of the things he told me that were old warriors, I think the ninja is the most awesome." Daniel remembered how when he made Alpha he gave him the knowledge of things like science, physics and others. History must also have been added so it was likely Alpha knows what ninjas were. He decided he would sort his kids out so he could tell who is who apart from each other "I need to go and have a talk with Alpha, why don't you all go and play?"

"Can you not play with us later?" The one who gave him a fright asked him.

"Likely. But I have got to do something first. Something for you all."

"Ok." With that, the 2 of them walked off and Daniel continued walking towards the factory.

Daniel found Alpha in the control room of the factory just like the bot said and just like last time he was greeted by Alpha before he could say a word.

"Hello again Boss."

"Hi Alpha. I have something I want you to do. If you don't mind."

"And what might that be sir?"

"Could you call my kids here? All of them? Saves me from having to look around and pull them away from what they might be doing."

"Certainly." A hatch opened on Alpha and a small satellite disk came out. After a few seconds Daniel heard them approaching the factory and soon all 10 of them were in the control room. When they were all in the room he used his powers to make multiple spray cans appear then looked back to his kids.

"I'm sure you're wondering why I called you here, well this is why. I realised I've not given you all names and because you look indistinguishable from each other I have these cans of color spray to give each of you a unique appearance. You can all go and choose what color you want." All his robot kids looked at the cans for a few seconds before one of them went up to the pile of them and looked over the different colours.

"This one." The robots voice was male and he held up a red spray can. Daniel took that can and started to spray it around him. By the end of it he was Red instead of Silver. "Thanks daddy." He thought it was over and was starting to walk away until Daniel stopped him.

"Hold on." He stopped and looked back. "I still need to give you a name...red...red...How about Robert?"

"I like that. Thank you daddy." Robert continued on his way and Daniel did the same for the rest of his kids and by the end of it they all had unique colours and names. They looked the same but voice wise, they sound somewhat different. It was hard to hear the difference to what male one or female one was talking. He could easily tell male and female voice apart but telling one female apart from the others or one boy from the others was harder to do.

"Good. Now that, that's out of the way." He was going to go to Brago and show him that he was going to keep his promise to help him and the dogs so he looked around the lab and picked two robots at random. "You two. Construction bots." All the bot's turned to face him and then the two he was pointing to walked over to him.

"Yes sir. What do you need?" They asked as they seemed to do a military salute.

"I have another job for each of you. I want one of you to guard the Diamond dog tunnels and another one to defended the Timberwolve's citadel. Do you have transmitters?" They nodded and a small hatch opened showing a little antenna. "Good. If the locations are attacked you are to alert the lab. Understood?"

"Order Accepted. Where are these locations sir?" Daniel gestured for them to follow him and when he was outside he picked them up and flew to the Diamond dog's home.

When he arrived a bunch of dogs jumped out but stopped their attack when they saw him. Rusty was the first one to greet him.

"Humon, who you brought?" Daniel set one of the bots down and turned to Rusty.

"This little guy will help you. If you are attacked he will alert me right away. I need you to take him to Brago, I am taking this other one to Thag." Rusty ordered one of the dogs to lead the robot into the tunnels and the rest of them got back into position for another ambush. Daniel flew off to the wolf citadel after the robot that was with the dogs was out of sight.

As he flew through the Everfree he found it to be quite peaceful compared to all the stories that the ponies made about it. The only thing that was a bit creepy about it was how dark it was but other than that, it's the same as a normal forest back on Earth if you didn't count the magical creatures that lived in it.

As he approached the citadel he heard a familiar voice from the side of the main entrance.

"Hello Daniel." It was Scar

"Hi Scar. I am here to see Thag. To show I am keeping my word." Scar saw the robot he had in his arms and stared at it for a few moment then looked back at Daniel. "It will send an alert to my home if you end up under attack and I will be here as soon as possible."

"Thanks for doing this for us. You will find Thag in the throne room." Daniel thanked Scar before he started to walk in but was stopped when Scar asked him something. "If you don't mind me asking. What is that?" Daniel stopped and looked at Scar. He wondered if a timber wolf would even understand what a 'Robot' is. He asked Scar to come with him to see Thag and he would explain it as best he could to him and Thag together.

"Ok." Daniel and scar both walked to the throne room. Along the way Scar was watching the robot. He asked Daniel if they were similar to golems and Daniel said he was not sure as he is no expert on them so he could not make a true comparison but he did his best.

"While I don't know that much about Golems or what is true about them, I do know there is metal ones and rock ones and they are brought to life with magic or imbued with a soul. Whatever one is true. But a robot uses electricity and if the golems are magical and take orders instead of having free will from a soul in it then you could compare one to a robot." He explained and Scar seemed to understand what a 'Robot' was now, even if it was only a partial understanding of them.

As he entered the room he saw Thag talking to a pony who had a green coat and a white tail with the same coloured hair and her eyes were brown. This confused Daniel, he didn't think Thag liked the ponies. When they heard the door open they both turned to the sound and saw Daniel entering the room with Scar and the small robot.

"Daniel, nice to see you, come in." Daniel closed the door behind him and went over to Thag, the full time the pony was looking at him with curiosity. Scar bowed and stood to the side so Daniel could speak to Thag

"Thag, I said a while ago i promised to help you along with the Diamond dogs, so I am here to show you that I'm keeping my word. Also I don't mean anything bad by saying this, but why is there a pony here? I though you didn't like ponies that much." Daniel heard her giggle when he mentioned that and he looked back to Thag.

"She is not a pony." Daniel looked at her only for her to turn into a bright light and then she seemed to shift. When the light died down she still looked like a pony but her legs were like tree bark and had vines wrapped around them. She had long green grass for hair that stopped at the bottom of her neck, roses bloomed where her ears should be and across her back there was flowers of many different kinds blooming. Her eyes change too as they now looked like they were made of water. They were a beautiful sea blue and Daniel swore they were made of just water while her pupil was a perfectly round bubble that looked like they were shining in the sunlight.

In short she was like a tree pony that had lots of plant life blooming on her with eyes made of water and bubbles for pupils. When she transformed the ground around her started to change into grass and different kinds of plants grew after a few seconds and made a perfect circles around her on the floor.

Daniel stood there, looking at her new form for a few moments before she spoke.

"Hello Daniel, or should I say...Heart Bearer." Her voice was just as soothing as Fluttershys was but what caught his attention was the second name she called him which made him step back and his eyes widened in surprise.

"What did you just call me?" He asked with nervousness in his voice but she just giggled at him.

"I know another Entity when I see one." Daniel was almost freaking out by this and by the way she said 'another' Daniel had no clue what she was talking about.

"What do you mean? Who are you?" Her face that had a smile on it quickly turned into one of confusion.

"You don't know what you are or who I am?" Daniel just shook his head to indicate 'No'. "Well then I suppose I should tell you. I know you are the bearer of the Heart of Life and as such when you merged with it you became an Entity, as for who I am, I will go by the name your kind gave me." Daniel was now paying full attention but he had to ask something.

"Hold on, what is the heart of life, I merged with the 'Heart' not the 'Heart of life'. Also what do you mean by the name my kind gave you?" Her face went back to one with a smile.

"Well the truth is us entities don't know it's real name so we just call it whatever we want. If that's ok with you. Also while I might be the Entity of life the name your kind gave me was 'Mother Nature' and I loved it so I chose to use it." Daniel stopped in shock when he realised he was actually talking to Mother Nature. The appearance. The plants growing around her and how she knew about the heart. All of this was more than enough evidence that showed she was not a normal pony. But there was something he wanted to know.

"Ok, well why are you here? If you don't mind me asking and how did you know I was the bearer? Why are you a pony?"

"I am here to meet up with a old friend." She said looking at Thag. "Also, I knew you were the bearer as after you merged with the Heart. All the entities felt it. As for why I am a pony. It's because I like to blend in here, it's not my true form. I can make my form whatever I want to, just like you." Daniel was still in shock that he was actually talking to Mother Nature but he decided to try and calm down. He though that talking to Thag would calm him down slightly and then he would talk to Nature again when he felt less shocked.

"Ok. I will get what I was going to do for Thag out of the way first." She nodded and waited patiently for Daniel to finish. Daniel indicated to the robot he had with him.

"So, why did you bring this metal...Golem?" Thag asked and Daniel told him what it really was.

"It's not a golem, it's a robot. It's similar to a golem but it does not require a soul or magic but is powered by electricity and runs by using a program that is coded into it upon creation." The robot remained motionless as they spoke.

"It's artificial life, not real life." Nature said and Daniel agreed with her.

"They have no feelings and weren't born. But as machine they only follow the code in them. This robot will stand guard at your citadel and will contact me if there is an attack happening and I will be right over if there is." He felt happy knowing the two races were safer with his bots by their side, but what nature said next caught him off guard.

"Daniel, why do you chose to help the Timberwolves and Diamond Dogs? What are your reasons?" Daniel just looked at her.

"How do you-" He was cut off when she put her hoof up.

"Thag told me, but be honest with me. Why did you?" Daniel took a moment to think.

"I helped them because...they needed it. I'm not one to just abandon someone in need." She just stood there looking Daniel in the eyes for a few seconds and to Daniel it felt as if she was searching his soul.

"It's because of what happened to your world isn't it." Daniel felt a little pain in his chest.

"No, it's not." She just shook her head.

"Daniel, I can see it in your eyes. You feel guilty that you couldn't protect your world so you chose to help both of them out of kindness but also out of guilt. You hope that if you can protect them and help them. You hope that it will ease the burden of guilt that you have." Daniel did not notice but he actually started to cry and only realised it when he felt a tear going down the side of his cheek that he quickly wiped off.

"I won't talk to you about it any further as I can see it is hurtful for you. But if you don't accept that there was nothing you could have done for your world at that moment with you being so untrained, then the guilt will not leave."

"I know that." It was then that Daniel heard another voice.

"That's why you should accept it, so it won't hold you back from reaching your full potential." By the sound of the voice it was male and when Daniel looked to the side he almost jumped out of his skin. Standing there in front of him was a pony skeleton, it was about as tall as Mother Nature. It had torn cloth and most notably ripped bits of black fabric in it's ribs that were blowing in a similar way Celestia's hair does. It looked like it also had a cape but even with it being torn up a good bit, it still flowed like the bits of black fabric. It's eyes were totally dark so he couldn't see inside and there was some blood flowing from its eyes and down it's face. Daniel was shaking but Mother Nature just greeted it.

"Hello Death." He greeted her back.

"Hello to you too Life." Mother Nature turned and looked at Daniel.

"Daniel this is Death, my friend. Death this is Daniel the Heart bearer." Death looked at Daniel.

"I know, I was listening to your conversation." So far Daniel had met Mother Nature and Death, so the next thing he wondered was if there were more 'Entities'. As they called themselves.

"Are there any other entities?" Death looked over at him.

"Yes, there are many more but mostly for us in this reality, there is three more. One is who you humans call 'Father time'. Then there is Tractus the entity of space and Tilbul the entity of balence." Daniel made a mental note of their names. "Actually, they should be here soon to meet you." Daniel got worried that more entities were coming to meet him, mostly for the fact that these guys no doubt lived longer than Daniel and can control their powers and might expect him to act in some sort of professional manner.

A giant bubble like object appeared within the throne room and lowered to the ground, when it touched the ground there stood three others.

One was in almost the shape of a normal human but it was just in shape. It's left arm was made of lava while the right was made if ice. It's left leg was made of water and his right leg was made of fire and the right side of it's torso was made of rock while the left was made of steel. But what got Daniel's attention was it's head. It had no head but instead there were scales in it's place that seemed to float and in each of the scales trays was a eyeball. Mother nature walked up to this one.

"Hello Tilbul." She turned to the next one who was a purple human figure with pinprick sized stars everywhere on it, shining like diamonds and his head was a yellow sun but his eyes mouth and nose were orange outlines. "Tractus" She turned to the last one who seemed to be a old human with a white beard but the cloak he was wearing had golden numbers on it that were constantly changing. He was carrying a hourglass and when Daniel felt the flow of his power he knew that had to be 'Father Time'. "Father time." Mother Nature finished off her greeting and Father Time greeted back.

"It has been quite a while since we last spoke, hasn't it?"

"Yes it has. Everyone, this here is Daniel, the new heart bearer." They all looked at Daniel and this only made him feel more nervous. While back on earth there were some people who would do anything to meet this lot in person and even with Daniel being one of them, with all the recent things that have happened he just felt as if the joy was removed and replaced with stress and pressure.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself down before looking back at them only to discover that Father time was looking at him closely. He then held out his hourglass and the sands that constantly fell seemed to scramble and emit a strange light and then settled.

"Wow, you're only 19 years old." All the others looked at Feather Time and seemed to have faces that asked if he was serious.

"Why? Is my age important?" Daniel asked. To these guys he was probably around the age of a child or younger.

"Not at all, it's just that you are one of the youngest entities ever. Do you know how to control your power?" Daniel was worried that he would embarrass himself if he said he didn't but at the same time these guys were entities so he didn't think that he could lie to them.

"I know how to control some of it." Father Time looked back at the others and they kept going back and forth between looking at each other. After a few seconds they all nodded and Father Time turned back to Daniel.

"Well...How would you like us to train you? Not just with your powers but also training as to be one of the cosmic." He heard Tractus say to him.

"What could you teach me?" Death stepped forward to him.

"I do know that you can't bring back the dead, none of us can do that. But I can teach you something that might prevent it." Tractus was the next to talk.

"I can teach you about space alteration to a great extent, to the point you can jump between realities with no effort." The next to speak was Tilbul.

"I can teach you about the different energies of the universe and their effects." Father time stepped forward.

"I can teach you about time control if you wish and mother nature can help you learn to control your energy. These are our main things but we could also teach you some more in the far future." Daniel actual felt better now. He had teachers that could train him in the correct way.

"Why are you helping me? You just met me?" Mother nature giggled at this.

"Is it wrong to show kindness? Besides you are one of us so why not. Plus we also need to make sure you don't lose control and blow up a planet or galaxy, or worse." This was starting to become a bit too much for Daniel, right now all he wanted was to go back home and settle down to think about this.

"Can I have some time to think about this?" Daniel said while rubbing his forehead with his hand.

"Yes. You didn't know about this and with it being so sudden along with what you are going through it must be putting pressure on you. But before you go take this." Death handed what looked like a necklace to Daniel. "Think of it as a gift from us." Daniel looked at it for a few seconds before putting it on.

"Thanks. Now if you don't mind I will be heading back." Daniel started to walk out but was stopped when he heard Mother Nature.

"Daniel, could I meet your sister?" At first he was hesitant but none of them have done anything so far that has made him not trust them, but at the same time neither have they done something to get him to trust them. Daniel knew if he wanted to be friends with them then he had to start off somewhere.

"Alright."

"Thank you." She turned around and waved goodbye to the others who disappeared as space was altered into a sphere around them and when it returned to normal they were gone.

"I'll come back for a visit in a few days." Daniel said to Thag who just nodded his head.

Daniel and Mother Nature headed out of the citadel and towards Daniel's home.

Daniel did not keep track of time because when he arrived back home it was almost morning so he had to get his sisters breakfast ready. When he was in the house he sat down on the chair and waited for his sister to wake up. Mother Nature was looking around his house but stopped when she saw the bookshelf and asked if she could read one to which Daniel said she could. After a few more minutes Annabelle woke up and Daniel quickly made toast and beans appear on a plate.

"Morning Annabelle." She rubbed her eyes.

"Morning Bro." Daniel handed her the plate which she took happily and was about to start eating when she saw the pony sitting in the room. "Daniel...why is there a pony here? You said you don't want us to be discovered."

"She is not a pony Annabelle, she is Mother Nature." This seemed to spark a reminder into Daniel and when he looked at his floor there was grass and flowers growing on it so he snapped his fingers and returned the floor to normal. Annabelle just walked up to Mother Nature with wide eyes.

"Your Mother Nature?" She just responded with a nod. " 'THE' Mother nature?" She giggle at this.

"Do you know any other?" Annabelle seemed speechless.

"Wow...I...Hi." Daniel chuckled at how she was acting, he saw that Mother Nature was looking at Annabelle the same way she was looking at him before and just like him, it seemed to be creeping Annabelle out. "I'm going to finish my breakfast." Annabelle started eating her toast and beans, when she was finished she went up to her room to get changed like she usually always does.

"She is so happy, kind and carefree. But she is also dealing with loss. That's why she is so cheery, it's a coping way to help with the loss of....everything. But she is recovering, slowly."

Annabelle later came back down the stairs wearing her normal clothes.

"So what are we going to do today?" Daniel said they would just go for a walk around ponyville and asked Nature if she wanted to join them. She accepted and changed back into her own pony form

Daniel turned them into their pony forms and they walked into their basement. As Nature followed she was looking around and taking in what he had done with his powers so far.

She was a little impressed when she discovered he knew about space alteration so much by just self teaching, until he told her about the 4 knowledge stuff he had when he first merged. But she still commended him for some creativity in his thinking and design.

He decided he would get her some cookies from sugar cube corner and even one for himself to try. Until he remembered he could add taste to food he makes, but he was unsure if he needed to know how the thing tasted to add it so he asked PIA.

"PIA can I add any kind of flavour to something even if I don't know what it tastes like?"

"Yes but it will not taste nearly as good unless you have tasted it yourself." Daniel then decided to go to sugar cube corner and get a bag of cookies for Annabelle and one for him so he could make more for her in the future.

"Hey Annabelle. Want to get some cookies?" Her face brightened up.

"You bet I do." Daniel smiled and they kept walking until they were at the front door of his ponyvilles house. Just as they left Daniel noticed Natures mark, it was a sunflower and he thought it suited her name and the entity role she had.

"If you are wondering about the mark, it indicates I am good with plants." With that done they all left his house and went into ponyville. Along the way Nature asked him why there was robots in his house as she saw one coming down the stairs behind Annabelle before leaving when she saw it. Daniel told her that they were his kids and she was confused so he had to explain everything. From making Alpha and from Alpha making the robots from his blood. "Don't you think you are a bit young to be a dad?"

"Hey." He looked around to check no one was close enough to hear him. "Annabelle is their auntie." She almost burst out laughing.

"That must have been a shock."

"Yes it was, she fainted." Annabelle had a red face when she remembered that. Being an Auntie at such an age.

Daniel was then hit by a pony that was rushing somewhere. By the looks the pony was a she and she was a grey Pegasus with a yellow tail and hair with bubbles as her mark. But what caught his attention the most were her eyes, they were crossed. When she collided with him they both fell over.

"Oops, sorry about that."

"It's not a problem." He then saw that there was other ponies running the same way. "What's going on, where is every pony going." He cringed on the inside after saying that.

"There is a new unicorn in town and I have heard she is the best magic user in all of Equestria and is putting on a magic show. We are all going to watch." With that she took off in the same direction all the others went and Daniel just looked back at Nature.

"A world where everything runs on magic and they run in excitement to see a magic show?" She just shrugged when he said that.

"I don't get it either."

"Why don't we go and check it out?" She just nodded at his question. "We will get your cookies later Annabelle." She groaned in disappointment.

"Fine." Daniel, Nature and Annabelle, followed the crowd and they soon arrived at the center of town. Where there was a larger crowd and Daniel saw his friends in it too. Spike saw him and he told Twilight who waved at him when she saw him and the others did the same. He walked over to join them.

"Hello Cosmos." Twilight saw another pony was following him.

"Who is she?" Daniel had then realized he had no idea what her disguise name was.

"Daisy. My name is Daisy." Nature said with a smile.

"Are you a old time friend of Cosmos?" Twilight asked.

"Not really. We just met not that long ago. Why are you asking?"

"I was just wondering as I saw you following him like a old friend." Twilight cleared her throat and spoke to Nature. "Hello Daisy, I am Twilight Sparkle."

"Nice to meet you Twilight." Daniel and the others finally looked at what all the others in the crowed were looking at and it was a small house on wheels. "Oh Cosmos, I hope you don't mind me asking, but how did you get so strong? After what you did at Applejack's farm I looked at some records and so far you greatly outmatch the current strongest stallion in Equestria and the fact that you are still so young is almost unnatural. Even the others want to know how you got this strong." All of his friends were now looking at him for an answer but Daniel was unsure what he should say but he was saved when they heard a loud voice.

"Come one, Come all, come and witness the amazing magic of the great and powerful Trixie." The small house unfolded into a show stage and in a small flash, a blue unicorn wearing a wizards hat and cape appeared which got awes from the crowd. "Watch in awe as the great and powerful Trixie preforms the most spectacular feats of magic ever witnessed by pony kind." Fireworks started to shoot off but Daniel just sighed. His friends were talking about how she was boasting but something caught his attention and that was when Spike stopped talking when he was just about to say 'no pony is as magical as Twilight' and instead ran off, he then noticed Twilight looked uneasy. When she asked if there was something wrong about being talented, Applejack reassured her there wasn't.

"Just because one has the ability to preform lots of magic does not make one better than the rest of us." Twilight looked somewhat upset from what Rarity said and Daniel made a mental note to ask her about it later on. He heard Rainbow mention about how they have her around being better then the rest of them, but she quickly changed that after a look from Applejack and ended up booing Trixie.

"Well, Well, Well, It seems we have some naysayers in the audience." Daniel swore what she said was so bad it just gave him a headache. "Who is so ignorant as to challenge the magical ability of the great and powerful Trixie? Do they not know that they are in the presence of the most magical unicorn in all of Equestria?" Rarity asked Twilight who Trixie though she was and then Spike started to speak but was stopped in the middle of it by Twilight and then she lead him away from the crowd to talk to him.

"Why not just deal with her right now?" Daniel heard a voice in his head, a voice he only recently knew so he looked at Nature.

"How are you-" He was interrupted.

"It's telepathy. Why not deal with her right now?"

"I don't want to be discovered, also all she has done is weak magic tricks and talk. Her magic is that of an amateur at best so do you think she's worth it?" Nature looked at Trixie for a few seconds before looking back at him.

"I suppose you're right." More fireworks went off on Trixie's stage and Rainbow flew up to her after they were over and asked her why she thinks she is so awesome to which she just laughed.

"Why only the great and powerful Trixie has magic strong enough to vanquish the dreaded ursa major!" More fireworks shot off but left what looked like a outline of a bear in the sky which left the crowed in awe as Trixie then went on to explain how she saved a place called 'Hoofington' from the ursa major, and sent it back into the Everfree. After that story two very young colts started to say about how she is the most awesome unicorn in all of Equestria but Spike started to speak again and Twilight looked at him. She looked like she was scared. Spike continued to talk but was stopped by Twilight zipping his mouth shut when he starting to mention something about her, now Daniel decided to ask her about it as soon as possible and not in a crowd.

"It's true my enthusiastic little admirers. Trixie is certainly the best in all of ponyville." All that was heard was chirping crickets after she said that. "Don't believe the great and powerful Trixie? Well then, I hereby challenge you ponyvilliens, anything you can do, I can do better. Any takers? Any one? Or is Trixie destined to be the greatest equine who ever lived?" More fireworks shot out from her stage and Spike just unzipped his mouth and begged Twilight to show her. Twilight was whispering something to Spike but Daniel managed to hear it.

"There is no way I'm going to use my magic now Spike." She was going to say something else but was cut off by Trixie speaking.

"How about...you." She pointed to Daniel who's face did not change. "Well how about it, is there anything you can do that the great and powerful Trixie can't?" She had a very confident smile but Daniel said nothing. Trixie moved along to Applejack who snapped after she got called a hayseed and she challenged Trixie as the others cheered her on.

"Can yer magical power do this?" She was spinning a lasso on her tail and jumping through it multiple times, from left to right, top to bottom and for her finisher she used it to get an apple out of a tree and just ate it right away and the crowed cheered. Applejack said to Trixie to top it and she just called her 'one of little talent' and used her magic which used Applejack's own rope to tie her up and place an apple in her mouth while she was tied by her four legs and upside down. After that the crowed cheered for Trixie.

Rainbow said to Trixie that there was no need to show off like that because that was her job. Rainbow then took off at full speed into a windmill which went faster and faster and after a few seconds she was shot into the air and went through multiple clouds and then flew in front of the sun. She then rushed back through the holes on the clouds she made at full speed right back to the mill which sent her back to the stage all the while water was following Dash and when she stopped on the stage the water behind her hit her back and a Rainbow appeared above her.

"They don't call me Rainbow and Dash for nothing." The crowed cheered for Dash.

"When Trixie is through, the only thing they will call you, is loser." She used her magic which cause the Rainbow to wrap around Dash, spin her like a tornado and sent her into the air flying everywhere. When she landed her eyes were spinning and Trixie made a cloud appear which struck the ground with lightning, scaring Dash and the crowed laughed at her.

His friends were talking and agreed that they needed a unicorn to show her who's boss and while Spike was looking at Twilight, Rarity was the one to agree and step in. She mentioned about how she uses beauty and grace but Trixie just insulted her by calling her hair a rats nest which made Rarity do a nice serious face.

She then went on stage and said about how there was more to magic than Trixie's brutish ways. She then used her magic to take a curtain and wrap it around herself and seconds later she was wearing a nice dress and had a cool hairstyle, Trixie only smiled and powered up her magic and when Spike saw this he went on about how Rarity won't let Trixie get the best of her because she is strong and beautiful. But he went silent and the crowed gasped with shock and some with disgust when they saw that Trixie turned Rarity's hair green.

Rarity was freaking out about it and while the others were saying nice things like nothing was wrong with her hair, it's nice or it's gorgeous Spike just flat out told Rarity it was green and that got him looks of anger from the others. Rarity ran away crying and saying her hair was awful which seemed to insult one of the ponies at the back.

"Well Twilight, I guess its up to you." Spike told to Twilight and indicated to Trixie with his hand. "Come on, show her what you are made of."

"What do you mean, I am nothing special."

"Yes you are, your better than her." Spike was trying to encourage her to challenge Trixie.

"I'm not better than anyone." Trixie started to walk towards Twilight.

Annabelle was getting tired of Trixies boasting and tried to say something but a look from Daniel told her it would be easier to stay quiet at a time like this. He whispered to her.

"I know she is annoying, but it's best we don't draw attention to ourselves." Annabelle sighed and said 'Fine'. They turned back to look at Trixie and Twilight.

"You think your better than the great and powerful Trixie? You think you have more magical talent? Well come on, show Trixie what you have got. Show us all." Twilight was looking very nervous now.

"Who Me? I'm just your run of the mill citizen of ponyville. No powerful magic here. I-I think I hear my laundry calling, sorry gotta go." She rushed off. Daniel followed her to try and help her.

"I will be at sugar cube corner Cos." He heard Mother Nature say to him as he went off and Annabelle followed him.

He found her at her library and he chapped the door, thankfully she answered.

"Hello? Oh hi Cosmos, Strawberry." She said with a smile.

"Hi, Twilight do you mind if we come in?"

"Not at all." She stepped to the side and held the door open, when they were in she closed it.

Annabelle went over to speak with Spike and Daniel spoke with Twilight.

"Twilight, is there something wrong?" She had a nervous smile.

"Wrong? What could be wrong? There is nothing wrong!" She said a bit fast which caused him to sigh. While saying this to her, he was also running over what could be the problem in his mind. He knew she was talented in magic, but she refused to show Trixie.

"Twilight, we are friends. You could tell me or the others and they would try to help you, if you don't want to talk about it then that's ok by me." Twilight stopped to think, so far Cosmos has helped her and her friends with a few problems like with the tickets and he did help Fluttershy after what happened between her and Gilda so he might be able to help with this.

"Or he might think I am a show-off, but he is my friend, he and the other would not be that mean, would they?" Twilight asked herself in her thoughts all the while Daniel was waiting patiently. Then Twilight took a deep breath before speaking.

"You were afraid to show your magic, is that it?" Twilight was taken by surprise by this but he continued "A good few of our friends challenged Trixie but you did all you could so you would seem like a normal unicorn. Every time Spike tried to say how good you were with magic you silenced him...you...were scared that your friends would see you as somepony else or somepony just like Trixie who is a show off if you beat her, so you were afraid to show your magic. Twilight did you forget you represent the Element of magic?" Twilight totally forgot about that, that she did represent that Element and Daniel saw her eyes widen until they were like dinner plates.

"I know how it feels to be seen as something different because of what you can do, but friends don't abandon your true friends. They stay with you through thick and thin, besides did you not hear Applejack properly? She said there is nothing wrong with being talented, just don't show it off and you don't do that. I guarantee that if you confront Trixie and show her what you can do your friends will not think of you as they think of Trixie."

Twilight did not know what to think but while she was thinking Daniel realized he accidentally said something he did not mean to. He left it in hopes she would forget about it as erasing memories is something he does not know how to do safely yet, and if he did now then it would not be without side effects. After a few seconds Twilight sighed.

"I guess I will try to stop Trixie, I just hope you're correct." She was uneasy with her words but then her eyes widened in realisation and then she looked right at him. "Cosmos, what do you mean by you know how it feels like to be seen as different because of what you can do?" Daniel's heart was beating fast, she did not forget or let it pass. He had to say something but he did not know what so he decided to be honest.

"Every pony has things they would rather keep buried. What I want to keep buried is nothing bad, but please don't ask me about it again." Twilights ears seems to go down at this.

"Oh, well thanks anyway." Twilight headed for the door and when she opened it Spike ran up to her.

"Twilight why ar-" He was cut off by Twilight.

"I am going to stop Trixie, I just hope that what Cosmos said it true." Spike looked over to Cosmos and after a few seconds he gave him a thumbs up with a smile before he followed Twilight.

"Cosmos, are you coming to watch?" Spike asked.

"I am going to meet up with Daisy then I might go and watch." Daniel said as he left the house with Annabelle. Both of them then headed to sugar cube corner to meet up with Nature.

He found her at one of the tables eating away at a cupcake. He decided to sit down and have a talk with her as well as have one of the cookies Annabelle loved so much so he could make more for her. He got 1 for him and 1 for her and the moment he took his first bite of it he felt like he could have melted at how lovely the chocolate tasted. Nature just watched him with a smile.

"They taste good, don't they?" She asked.

"Lovely." He said as he continued to eat it.

"So how did the talk with Twilight go?"

"I managed to convince her to show Trixie what she can do and told her that her friends would not mind her powerful magic." He said after he just finished eating.

"Well that is true, if they are true friends then they would like her for who she is, not what she can or can't do." She finished her cupcake and got up like she was ready to go. "Are you coming along? I want to see Trixie's face when she is beaten in magic." Daniel gestured to Annabelle who was eating her cookie. A few seconds later she finished it and the two got up.

"Right behind you. Lets go." They both took off to see Twilight confront Trixie. But along the way they saw Twilight running the other way so Daniel and Mother Nature followed her to the park bench where she was rubbing her tail and lying down on the bench. "Twilight what's wrong?" He asked with concern in his voice.

"Cosmos? Daisy? How did you-"

"We were on our way to see you confront Trixie when we saw you running the other way, did Trixie beat you to?" She looked at both of them with a bit of fear in her eyes.

"I just can't do it. I don't want them to hate me." He just sighed at this.

"All I can do is give you some advice, but the only one who can stop this fear you have, is you." Daniel decided to head back home after that and along the way him and Nature talked telepathically when she spoke to him first.

"So How did you and Thag become friends? I heard about what you have done for him but not how you two met."

"It was when I first arrived here. I scouted out the Everfree to make sure it was safe for Annabelle and when I met a group of Timberwolves and told them I was a human they insisted on brining me to their leader. I helped him and the Diamond Dogs settle an argument and the rest is history." They arrived at Daniel's house then went to his Everfree house from the door in the basement. When they got to the living room he saw his robot children there doing nothing and they looked bored. "Hi." They all looked over at him happily and then rushed at Daniel and into a hug. He changed him and Annabelle back to their human forms and Nature dropped the normal pony look and was back to looking like a tree pony again.

"Who is she?" The golden one asked and Daniel chuckled.

"She is Mother Nature. Yes, the one who was supposed to be fictional but she isn't. Neither is Father Time." All of them looked at her and she giggles at them.

His kids got out a few board games to play and Nature joined in with them. Annabelle was getting a little annoyed that the robots were able to make precise calculation and used it in their favor to win.

A few hours passed and it was now night time. Daniel chose to watch some TV while his kids played their board games and got to interact with Nature and Annabelle more. Annabelle soon fell asleep when she waited for a turn to join back into a game of monopoly. After she fell asleep they noticed how late it was so Nature teleported away to where she and the other entities hung out and his kids went back to the lab. Daniel picked her up and placed her on the couch and then put the covers over her.

Besides Annabelle sleeping a little bit away from him, he was alone in the living room and in almost complete darkness with the only light being the one that was coming off the TV as Daniel sat on a chair. His mind wondering.

"Alpha and my kids are probably busy working, my sister is asleep and all my friends are asleep." Daniel walked to the bookshelf to get a book to read. He was going back to the chair to read, but he stopped as he looked out the window after seeing the night sky. It was a beautiful dark blue with the stars shining like moissanite gems. This is when he remembered he should learn more about controlling time to finish off his pocket dimension. "Mum and dad would probably be very disappointed in me right now if they knew about everything that has happened." He sat on the chair and started to read the book he had. It was then he heard a faint roar from the basement. He knew it was coming from his ponyville house so he got up and quickly went there, changed his form before exiting the house and saw a giant blue bear with what looked like it had stars on it and it was attacking ponyville. He ran through a crowd towards it and soon met Twilight.

"Twilight, what is that?" He asked he while still running.

"Its a Ursa." Daniel looked at it, this is the thing Trixie clamed to have stopped but she was not around so Daniel assumed she must have been nothing but talk. They kept running until they came across two colts.

"What's going on?" Twilight asked them.

"We brought a ursa to town."

"You WHAT!?" She said in shock.

"Don't worry the great and powerful Trixie will vanquish it." They looked at Trixie who was looking scared.

"I can't." She said with her head lowered towards the ground and this surprised the two colts who both said 'What?' at the same time. "I can't, I never have, no one can vanquish an ursa major, I just made the whole story up to make me look better."

"Made it up?" They said at the same time. They heard thumping and Daniel looked behind him to see the ursa behind a building, standing on it's top legs and it let out a loud roar. Daniel did not know what to do, he could deal with the usra but he would need to be in his shadow form and then he would have to take into account that ponies would now know that the shadow knows where ponyville is. As he looked around at all the ponies in town and back at the ursa his mind was set and he decided to deal with it. He set his powers to the use of thought and then used them to make space bend around him so it looked like he was just standing still so the ponies did not see him turn into his shadow form and left a pony clone of himself behind.

He then moved up to the side of a building before deactivating the field. He then climbed to the roof of a building and was ready to deal with the ursa but stopped when he saw Twilight in front of it with a determined look on her face. Twilight looked like she was just about to ready her magic but when she saw him and her eyes widened.

"THE SHADOW!" She screamed and pointed at Daniel who sent his clone a command to look at him like the others and it did. He did this to avoid suspicion for when he was in his pony form in the future. The ursa turned to Daniel and looked at him for a few seconds to which he just stared back at it with narrowed eyes. The ursa roared at him and he just jumped down in front of it and did not move.

After a few more seconds the ursa tried to hit him with its paw but Daniel used both of his hands to stop it, when he did that he thought he would need both arms to stop it but he barely felt anything from the ursa's attempted attack so he hit it's paw with no effort put in it. This actually seemed to hurt it and it tried to use it's other paw but Daniel blocked it with one hand.

But it only used one hand this time, he then hit that paw away only to jump up and kick it in the stomach which knocked it a good bit away. He did this and was putting no effort into it. The punch he used was like a lazy punch that he just let swing with no strength put in it and he hit with what could barely be called a fist as it was not clenched.

He did this because he still had trouble controlling his strength and he didn't want to kill this thing so he did what he thought was right and put no effort in them and it seemed to be working.

Something strange happened next, the ursa started to cry. Daniel got confused with this so he used his clone to talk.

"Twilight, why is it crying?" Daniel tried something and he found out he could see and hear what his clone can but the sight of what the clone sees is transparent in his own vison so he still could see where he was and where his clone is at the same time. The things his clone heard was also a bit different as whatever his clone heard, it sounded like a echo in a tunnel but he still found it useful. His attention was caught when he saw a transparent scared Twilight.

"Oh No, this is bad, this is very, very bad."

"How is it Twilight? The shadow thing is dealing with the ursa major." He knew that voice and it was Rainbow Dash.

"It's a minor, not a major and right now it is calling for it's mom." Everyone gasped at this and Daniel felt a little guilty of doing this to a child, a huge child but a child none the less.

"Then...what do we do." He heard Rainbow say as Twilight looked around and she seemed to have came up with a idea.

"I have a plan, but It needs to happen fast, I might know how to stop the ursa from crying but I need you guys to distra-" She did not get to finish the sentence.

"How dare you, HOW DARE YOU!!!." Daniel saw Fluttershy walk up to him from his clones view so he turned around to see her and their eyes met. "You should be ashamed of yourself, hurting a baby ursa like that." As Daniel looked into her eyes he started to feel more guilty. He looked back at the ursa then back at Fluttershy. "You think you can just beat up anything and get away with it?" It was somewhat scary to look into her eyes now and the more he did the more guilty he felt for hurting the ursa. Daniel saw through the vision of the clone that Twilight has silenced the ursa minor by giving a water tower that was full of milk and it was drinking it happily while she was levitating it away.

"Come on." He heard Twilight say who was so focused on using her magic and using it to lift the ursa while the others watched in amazement.

"You are nothing but a bully, If you can easily stand up to Nightmare Moon then what hope did that baby ursa have?!" He heard fluttershy shout at him and he almost felt like crying from her words and the look she was giving him. "What would your parents think if they saw you do this?!" With that word, all guilt Daniel felt was slowly getting replace with anger. "You go back and apologize to that ursa right now!" Daniel remained unmoving, he felt like he had no control over his body. "Did you not hear...me..."

Fluttershys voice was now getting more quiet. Daniel was now looking at Fluttershy in the eyes but unlike a few seconds ago his eyes were now full of anger and they changed from white eyes to a bright blood red, he was slowly walking towards Fluttershy who was now backing away and she now had fear in her eyes.

"FLUTTERSHY!!!" Rainbow Dash shouted, quickly flying up to Daniel and kicked him on the side of the head but he barely felt a thing, he turned to look at Dash and she was in shock to see her kick did nothing. He turned back and looked at Fluttershy who was shaking in fear.

"I-I-I'm sorry if I said something bad about your parents, I didn't know, I'm sorry." She was on the ground and covering her face with her front hooves. Daniel managed to regain some control and tried to calm himself down. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and when he reopened them his eyes were back to normal and he looked at Fluttershy who was shaking in fear he decided to forgive her because she didn't know about his parents but it won't be so easy if she does it again.

"Guys! Help!" Rainbow still thought he was going to attack Fluttershy so she called to the others which resulted in Twilight's concentration breaking and she dropped the ursa which started crying again.

The four others were about to go towards Daniel and help out Rainbow and Fluttershy but were stopped by another roar, which was much louder than the last one. He turned around to the source of the sound and saw another Ursa that was about ten times the size of the other one and it's claws and teeth were much bigger.

"Twi, is that..." Applejack asked but did not finish.

"It's a ursa major, the minors mum." The major looked at the minor and when the child saw it's mother it's face changed into a face of happiness but after a low growl sound from the mother it almost started crying and pointed to Daniel. The mother looked at Daniel with anger. It went to hit Daniel and he managed to stop it the same way as before, but unlike the child Ursa's attack where he felt nothing, this one felt like he was blocking a stone with his hand. He felt his back being pushed, it's other paw hit him from behind and sent him through a building. He hid in the rubble and waited until the major went up to investigate and when it did he jumped out and kicked it in the jaw which caused it to step back and almost fall over.

Daniel and the ursa stood with their eyes looked and ready to fight. He was distracted by a bright light that his clone saw and even the ursa turned to look in it's direction. It was Princess Celestia and some royal unicorn guards and some pegusi also arrived so Daniel used his clone to listen in.

"Twilight evacuate the town, We wil-" She wasted no time telling Twilight to evacuate when they arrived but she was cut off when she saw the Shadow confronting the Ursa Major. "Twilight, is that the shadow creature that Luna mentioned?" She asked and looked over to Twilight who had a look of curiosity on her face.

"Yes it is, but what is it doing here? Much less going up against an Ursa Major. Wait. Where is Luna?"

"She is studying and doing her night duties." Daniel saw that the Ursa looked back at him so he focused on the here and now and got ready to fight. If what he was doing could be called fighting.

The ursa tried to hit him the same way again but he blocked the first one and then jumped to avoid the second one and punched the ursa in the face. Which made it more mad and it hit Daniel in mid air and sent him about seven feet into the ground. He picked himself up and ran to the ursa which left a trail of fire behind him. He got to the ursa in no time and kicked it in the knee which caused it to stumble. He then ran up it's side and kicked the side of it's head when he reached it which knock it over.

Daniel stood on the ground and waited for it to get back up and he saw he gave it a good few bruises.

Daniel went to hit it again when it turned back to him with an angry look, but the ursa punched him when he was in mid air which set him flying and he almost collided with Celestia. He got up and so did the ursa so he decided to try something new and focused some energy into his hand and ran up to the ursa who tried to punch him again.

Their fists collided, there was a explosion which knocked the ursa over and sent Daniel flying like a ragdoll into Twilight's library but luckily he was not going at a fast enough speed to go through it and when he got up his arm felt a little tingly, similar to the way you feel when you're numb from lack of blood on a limb but it went away in a few short seconds. When he got up he looked over to where he got knocked from he saw a very angry ursa that was charging at him so he decided to end this.

He did the same as before but added a bit more energy into his fist and stood his ground as the ursa ran towards him, as it lifted its paw to try and squash him but he moved back at the last second and then ran up it's arm. It tried to hit him off using its other paw but he avoided it by jumping over it and when he got to it's head he punched it right in the nose which resulted in the ursa screaming in pain and another explosion sending it flying to the side of town right next to the everfree.

The blast also knocked Daniel back but he quickly regained his balance and landed safely but he could feel almost nothing in his arm he used to punch the ursa with but he ignored that for now. He walked over to the ursa that was crying in pain and its nose was bleeding, he sent commands to his clone to watch him the full time like the rest of the ponies were doing.

When he reached the ursa major he saw it had fear in its eyes, his intentions were to get the ursa minor to leave the town but now he hurt them both and he did not want this to continue. As he saw the fear in the others eyes he felt a bit bad for hurting a mother who was only trying to help her child. All the ponies were watching him, doing nothing else so he looked over to the minor then looked back at the major, he the pointed to the minor and after a few seconds the major got the hint and went to pick up her young. Daniel then continued to look at her until she backed away into the forest and out of sight.

When that was done he walked into the forest and out of sight but when he was out of sight he made himself invisible and quickly went back to his clone and put the barrier back up around it before silently transforming back into a pony, setting his powers back to the use of will then got rid of his clone and then the barrier. He was now back in his pony form and by how all the others were still looking at the forest, they were non the wiser and Princess Celestia was the first to speak.

"Well...I guess that takes care of the Ursa." All of his friends looked to Twilight and Applejack spoke.

"Twi, we knew ye had ability in magic, but not that much."

"What do you mean?" Twilight asked.

"The way you were taking care of that ursa, that was just...wow." Everyone else was cheering for her.

"But I did not take care of it." Twilight said to them.

"Darling you were until your concentration was broke, such magic is astounding." Rarity told Twilight.

"So...You don't hate me?"

"Hate you?" They all asked simultaneously.

"Why what ever do you mean Twilight?" Asked rarity.

"Well, I know you all hate Trixie for showing off her magic tricks and I thought-" She was cut of by dash.

"Woah, magic's got nothing to do with it. Trixie is just a loud mouth." All of the others said things that showed they agreed with Dash.

"So, You don't mind my magic tricks?"

"Yer magic is a part'a who you are sugar cube an we like who you are, we're proud ta have such a powerful talented unicorn as ar friend.

"And after showing us what you could do with that ursa minor, we're even prouder."

"You- you are?" Daniel could not help but smile and Twilight looked at him. "Cosmos, you were right."

"I told you they wouldn't hate you, didn't I?" Twilight looked like she was about to cry and Daniel heard steps behind him and he turned to see Celestia.

"Nice to meet you again Cosmos." All the others were bowing and Daniel decided to do the same to keep up appearance but Celestia stopped him and looked to the others. "There is no need for that."

"Your highness. We are awaiting orders." Said a guard behind her.

"Return to your duties in Canterlot, I will be along shortly." With that the unicorns teleported away while the pegusi flew. "I am sorry, I can't stay for long but I wish to ask you something Cosmos."

"Anything princess." She giggled.

"No need to be so formal. Just Celestia will do. Anyway in Twilight's friendship reports she's mentioned you quite a bit, she has mentioned about your knowlage on friendship and how you have taught her a thing or two. What I wish to ask is, how do you have such knowledge of it?"

"Knowledge of friendship? It just comes while I hang out with my friends, friendship is something that is better experienced than read about as there is some knowledge out there that you can't find in a book." He cursed himself inward as he sounded like he was giving a cartoon speech.

"You also seem to be quite wise, I have a feeling that you and Twilight will remain great friends." Celestia noticed she didn't feel the surge of power that she felt when she met him before. She started to wonder if it was just her instincts acting up, but still decided to investigate it further when she got back home.

"I will write a report on what I learned today." Twilight mentioned and with that Celestia nodded and charged up her magic, Daniel stepped away from her as she did.

"I hope to see you all soon." With that she teleported away and Daniel spoke.

"Well I am heading back home, it is still late so, see you all tommorow." He heard them all say 'bye' as he walked back to his house. When he was back he went to his everfree home, changed his form and sat back down in the chair. He did not feel like doing anything so he lay down on the chair and went to sleep.

A few minutes earlier

When he was back home the others were heading back home too and when Twilight got back home she was so happy that her friends didn't hate her for her magic. She hopped up and down saying 'Yes' over and over but stopped when she heard Spike speak.

"Twilight, it's late, can you not wait until morning?"

"Oops, sorry Spike." She went to her bed with a happy smile on her face.

"Cosmos was right, my friends didn't hate me. Not only that but they accepted me and didn't mind that I had so much magic, I am so happy for that and now Trixie is out of town so we don't have to put up with her boasting." As she thought of that she heard some words were ringing in her head and it was what Cosmos had said. "I know how if feels to be seen as something different because of what you can do. What did he mean by that?" It was then that Twilight started brainstorming to the meaning of his word.

"Could it be his strength? Was he seen as a monster back home thanks to it?". She remembered he said that there was some thing's he wanted to keep buried so she respected his wish but she could not help but feel like she should do something to help him if that was the case. He has helped her and their friends quite a bit. "I'll get the girls together and let them know, hopefully if there is something troubling him we can find out what and help him with it. I mean that's what friends do.". With that she closed her eyes and went to sleep.

Luna had just finished helping a pony by banishing the killer muffins in her dream and now was once again wondering the dreamscape. She was looking around to see if she could find the dream of one of the strange creatures she has seen for the past few days and after a while of searching she found one. By the sound that was coming from it, this one was of the younger one that she had seen more often than the older one. She was deciding if she should enter the dream or not as last time she did she saw a nightmare that turned out to be the dream of the older one.

She also remembered that after the nightmare collapsed and she forced out of the dream, that her magic was temporarily weaker and while that did not seem so bad she was worried if she kept doing it then the effects might get worse. But before she could decide she heard a loud laugh coming from somewhere else in the dreamscape and the voice of that laugh sounded familiar so she went to investigate it.

She found the source of the sound, it was another dream bubble but as soon as she got close enough she realized it was the same dream that she saw the older creature in and while she was still deciding weather of not to try and enter it, she decided she would as not only would it be mean to leave something with such a bad dream but she wanted to get to know this creature more. The older ones dreams appeared very rarely and she had difficulty entering the younger ones dreams for the past few night as her magic was weakened from the dream of the older one. So she used her magic once again and entered the dream.

When she arrived she found herself in the same town as before only the darkness that was eating everything was nowhere to be seen and it was almost night time so Luna wondered why this was a nightmare until she heard a explosion in the distance. She also discovered that the dreamer was in the direction of the explosion so she headed that way and soon she saw a familiar figure. King N. If that was the tall purple creatures name and it was fighting another creature that if she remembered right was called 'Daniel'. Luna made a note to ask for the name of his race if she could. King N was currently shooting a red beam from his arm and Daniel seemed to be blocking it with a barrier.

"This would be so much easier if you just give me what I want." King N said as he stopped his beam and punched Daniel which broke his barrier. "You are pathetic. No wonder you could not protect your parents." Luna saw Daniel getting very angry but what happened next surprised her, dark mist started to surround Daniel and before Luna knew it she was looking at the creature she called 'the Shadow' and Daniel faded into the darkness of the night but King N just laughed at this.

"You can't hide from me." He pointed his arm to the side and shot another beam which hit Daniel right on the chest and his shadow form dispersed. As King N walked over to Daniel, he stood in from of his sister.

"Annabelle, stay back." The little one seemed to be unmoving and stood in place looking at the ground. "Annabelle?" She turned to Daniel before lifting her head to face him and when she did Luna saw her face, Her pupils were black holes with blood flowing from them.

"You...You failed them." Her voice echoed through the dream. "You could have saved them, you could have given yourself up but you didn't." Two other creatures just like Daniel and Annabelle appeared behind her.

"Mom, Dad." Daniel tried to reach them but they just pulled away.

"Stay away from us, You're no child of ours. Ever since you came back you have been nothing but a freak." Luna was shocked that something's own parents would say something like that to their child. Daniel was on the ground unmoving and King N Stepped forward.

"You see, You have already lost, now give me the Heart and I might just spare them." Luna decided to take action now.

"Step away you vile creature." King N just laughed at Luna.

"You are going to stop me, Ha!"

"Torment this innocent soul no more, be gone from this dream." With that Luna fired a blast of magic at King N who gets disintegrated on contact and she did the same with the other three that were there before turning around to face Daniel. She felt that it was starting to get difficult to maintain her magic, so she decided to try and make this quick. Luna chose to be careful with her words, if this creature was the shadow and that was not just something made by its sub consciousness then making him angry, if it's a he and by the sound of his voice and name it has, then it could be quite bad for her.

"Gree-Hello, My Name is Luna." She was about to say greetings until she remembered that 'Hello' and 'Hi' are more commonly used to greet in this generation. This time she got a good look at Daniel, he had dark hair, his eyes were blue and the cloths he wore were a large puffy coat and large black trousers and black shoes.

"Dream?" He asked with wide eyes.

"Yes, your dreaming, why?" What happened next shocked Luna, Daniel made a knife appear and was about to push it through his chest. "WAIT." She shouted but it was to late as the knife touched him and the dream collapsed and Luna was pushed back into the dreamscape yet again. "Why did he do that?"

Daniel woke up from the couch breathing heavily.

"Wow, what a nightmare." He thought over what had happened in his dream until he remembered the part where Luna was in it. "What was she doing in it? How did she know it was a dream?" The more he thought about it the more it seemed like a normal bad dream but Daniel never has a dream where something mention it is one with him still in it so he was starting to get suspicious.

"It could be the stress is just getting to me, but then again I need to take into account that it might not be me". He then had a realisation. "Crap, if she can enter dreams then she must have seen what I am wearing. That means I need different cloths, but...I was wearing my heavy padded jacket in the dream and my other set of trousers. So I should be fine." He then had another realisation and remembered more about the dream. "What about my mark, if they see it then that might be a give away. Luna probably heard about the Heart and if she sees this mark it could expose me." He put his hands on his face and started to think. After a few minutes he had a idea. "That just might work."

Author's Notes:

Author: Well now that is done. It took me long enough. Sorry but King N and Daniel are not here this time. I have no clue where they have gone.

For those of you who think Daniel is Overpowered and needs someone else to challenge him besides King N. I have an idea for some more individuals to show up that can rival him and some will even surpass him.

These Entities like Nature can already surpass him and there will be more in the future until he get trained properly.
