Chapter 16: First Time Battle Training

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Luna was running through the halls of Canterlot Castle and the whole time she was she also held a book with her magic. She was on her way to the throne room to speak with Celestia on something that she had just recently discovered. She approached the doors to the throne room and she didn't knock but instead burst through them which caused Celestia to look up in fright from Luna's sudden entrance.

"Sister, we wish to speak with you." Luna had a look on her face that Celestia knew, it was a look that she got when she was panicking.

"Calm Down Luna. Take a deep breath and tell me what is wrong." Luna followed her sisters advice and inhaled then held it for a second before exhaling.

"Sorry Tia, but there's something that you might want to take a look at." Luna levitated the book she was carrying over to Celestia and she read the title.

"Daring Doo and The New Species?" She looked back to Luna with a smile. "Luna, I have read books about Daring Doo before. Quite a good read isn't it?" The look on Luna's face didn't change. "Why are you still unsettled?"

"Tia, Have you read this one?" Luna asked pointing towards the book.

"Not that one, Why?"

"Then you need to right now." Celestia looked down at the book before looking back at Luna who was watching her. Deciding that this was the only way to get Luna to calm down she took it and started reading.

"So Daring decided to explore our old castle did she?" Celestia had just started to read the first page and said that when she read about what Daring said her plan was for exploring there. Apparently it was to see if any old treasures remained and then sell them to the museum in Canterlot. As Celestia continued reading Luna was looking at her like she was awaiting a reaction. "Oh, She couldn't find anything in the castle." Luna realized what section that Celestia was reading and knew she was close to what was worrying her and as Celestia turned the page she looked to the side of the page to see a picture. "Oh, That looks adorable." She said as she saw the fluffy pink cat like creature in a picture on the top right of the page. As Celestia read on her smile quickly faded into a face of shock and when she read the next passage she started to look worried. "Reality, Time and Space." Celestia looked up at Luna who was now looking a bit more serious.

"Tia, the reason we wanted you to see this is because the abilities of that creature are the same as Discord's." Celestia's face changed from shock to a smile again.

"Oh Luna, Just because this creature has powers that are the same as Discord's does not mean that it is a threat." Luna did not look to sure and when celestia saw that she tried to ease it. "Think about it, if it was the same it would have done something by now." Luna knew that was true but she was still a bit worried about something else that plagued her mind.

"Sister, First it was the shadow and now this creature and both are likely just as or perhaps more powerful than us, does this not worry you." Celestia understood what Luna feared, she feared for her subjects and that she might not be able to keep them safe.

"Should our little ponies fear us because we are more powerful than them?" This question caught Luna off guard and she was trying to think of something to say in retaliation and she got one.

"We have been around for a long time, our subjects know we woundn't do bad things to them but this new creature and the shadow have been around for only a few weeks so is that not a reason to worry about them?" Celestia kept the smile on her face.

"So far neither this new creature or the shadow have shown any signs of being a threat. I will admit that I am curious about them but until one of them does something bad to us or we find out about them planning something against us, I see no reason to take action against either of them. This new one has been around for a few weeks like you mentioned but the shadow has been around for a thousand years as you mentioned you encountered it but in all that time it's not done anything bad. If they are both equal or more powerful than us then one of them would have likely done something." Luna was not going to disagree with her sisters statement, the shadow could have done something to Celestia, her or their subjects in the amount of time it's been around for.

"So, what should we do?"

"About the Creature? If you meet it somehow then you could try to form a friendship with it and the same thing with the shadow, just try and not attack straight away this time." Luna knew what Celestia meant by that and she nodded in reply then picked up the book and started to walk out of the throne room. "Luna before you go, When did you get into reading Daring Doo?" Luna turned around and looked at her sister.

"The title caught my attention when I was looking for books and scrolls about any kind of mythical creature." Luna walked out of the throne room and back to the archives all the while thinking about what Celestia had said. About befriending the shadow but then something popped in her mind. "Could this Creature that Daring had met also be Daniel? I did see him change in the dream." Luna then remembered that while in the dream Daniel did change into what looked like the shadow, she knew that it was in a dream so it was still unlikely that Daniel was actually the shadow, he didn't change his shape as he perhaps couldn't and this is the real world which means the likelihood of Daniel being both of those creature is very unlikely so she tossed that thought aside from her mind. Luna now had a new goal that she was going to try and complete, next time she meets the shadow she would apologize to it about her attacking it 1000 years ago and try to befriend it and hopefully learn if it is Daniel or not and if it wasn't then she still had the mystery of that dream she saw to solve.


As Daniel made his way to his house holding the things for a bubble bath that Zecora made for him, he felt very Happy that he managed to avoid taking that bath because it would most likely have exposed his mark, however he had other plans now. As he was planning to contact the entities and see if he could get to know them better because if what Mother Nature said was true then he was a entity too. As he looked up at the sky he remembered he could start exploring new plants.

The more Daniel thought about this the happier he became as he always loved to learn about space which is why astronomy was a hobby of his. When he thought about doing this before it was only a thought but this is now more of a realization. But then another realisation hit him. "Oh Crap. If I do go and explore space then I wont be able to find my way back unless I don't go too far." Daniel was disappointed by that fact but was quickly brought back to reality when he ended up hitting his head on something, when he was out of his thoughts he realised he had fallen into a puddle and heard some ponies nearby giggling at him.

Ignoring them he picked himself up and continued on his way to his house. When he entered the house he shook himself clean then headed to the basement and into his everfree home, when he was in he changed back into his human form and placed what Zecora gave him on the shelf in the living room before heading to his pocket dimension to check on Annabelle. He opened the door and peeked inside to see her sitting near the lake with Greg beside her which got a smile from him as he closed the door, he didn't need to worry about her, Greg would watch over her and she was a excellent swimmer so he did not have to worry about her being close to the lake. He headed to the living room to sit down and think about his situation then see what he could do to improve it.

"Ok, Luna knows about me and the clothes that I wear but with that pocket dimension now done I don't have to worry about her entering my or my sisters dreams. She would have likely found out about us through my sister's dreams if she still could so it's to be expected that she can't enter our dreams if we sleep in there. My friends seem to be getting more curious about my past but as long as I tell half truths I should have nothing to worry about. The sphere that destroyed our home is apparently still trying to find me and wont be here for centuries so I have more than enough time to continue my training and on top of all that the generators are about 75% done and the alliance between Timberwolfs and Diamond dogs is going smoothly."

Daniel knew that all he could do now is just rest or train some more and with him doing no training of any kind for the past few days he decided that's what he would do so he got up off of the chair and headed into the forest.

When Daniel got outside he stood in place for a few seconds as he was unsure about what he should try but after a few seconds he knew what he wanted to practice. "Teleportation. I could use it if I get lost in space while exploring and it involves space which is something I already know about." Daniel focused on where he wanted to go so he imagined his living room and appearing there. The world seemed to be fading out of existence while another one was fading in and when it was all over he was back in the living room of his house. "It could be faster, I have seen teleportation in movies and in comics be instantaneous." He did the same thing before but put some more energy into it which resulted in him teleporting faster but he was not focused on where he wanted to go and ended up through a tree. "Seriously?" He said in annoyance as he did the same before but this time he focused on reappearing in his living room and he was successful but he teleported in the way he was which was in a lying down position when he teleported through the tree so he fell on his face when he finished his teleportation. "Oh great, I'm rusty, I shouldn't have taken time off."

After a while Daniel decided he would try and contact the other entities to ask if he could continue his training and when he thought about it another idea popped in his mind. "I haven't had any training with Tractus yet and he could teach me something's that I can use my space powers for that I never knew I could." Daniel took a moment to think about how he could contact them and he remembered that when he tried to contact Father Time before all he did was think of the name and imagine that he was talking to him and he appeared so he decided to try it again so he closed his eyes and imagined that he was talking to Tractus in his mind. He heard a noise, thet sounded like a ting and when he looked in the direction the sound came from he saw Tractus standing there looking at him.

"Were you not going to take some time off?" He asked with a raised eyebrow that Daniel could see from the orange outlines on his sun like head.

"I was but I want to train more. I guess I am just eager to learn."

"I can tell by how often you are active. So, you said you want more training? Let's see what you can do. What is it you want to learn?"

"If you don't mind, can you teach me how to teleport?"

"That is actually something that should be very easy for you to do, just imagine yourself appearing somewhere you have seen and you will." Daniel decided to show him why he wanted to learn it and did as he did before and it resulted in a slow fade out teleport and when it was over Tractus was looking at him with a unreadable expression.

"I can teleport but it is a slow one so I was wondering if you could help me with that."

"Very well, I guarantee it won't take long." After a few minutes Daniel could now teleport instantaneously and it was a breeze to learn, he decided to ask what has been on his mind for a while.

"Tractus, where do you and the others hang out?" Tractus looked at him a little confused.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Is there not like a place where you and all the others meet up every now and then?"

"A specific place? Well yes. There is, the Nexus. A place where entities are trained and learn. Also a place to live for some." Daniel liked the sound of this. A place where others from other universes all hang out. Humans like those at NASA would have done...goodness knows what for this opportunity.

"Can I visit it sometime? Like when I am not training" Tractus looked to the side.

"Certainly You will need one of us to take you there so just let me or any of the others know if you want to visit." Daniel was thrilled, but this came crashing down when he had a though. Why were they so nice to him, to them he was next to a complete stranger.

"Why do you trust me so much?" Tractus didn't answer. "Do you do this as a greeting to all new entities? If not then why am I so special to you?"

"It was a promise we made. A promise to the previous heart bearer. We promised her that we would watch over and help the next heart bearer. That's you." Daniel's attention was grabbed when he heard 'Previous bearer'.

"What do you mean?" But Tractus changed the subject.

"Daniel, have you been taking the training we have been giving you seriously? You don't seem to use what we teach you, even when you are in your own house. Are you still holding on to being a human like Nature said? Also you seem to want to learn as much as possible and as quickly as you can." Daniel sighed and decide to tell him as they would find out eventually.

"Ok, yes I am still holding on to being human but what can you expect? Being human is what I know best, and it is what I am or what I was originally. It's what I am at heart and always will be. I might be a entity but I will be a human entity. Also, the reason I want to learn as much as I can is to keep my sister and my kids safe." When Daniel first met his robot kids when he entered the lab for the first time he found his robot kids creepy but after spending some time with them he felt like they were part of the family. "Family." Daniel had flashes in his mind of his times back on earth with his family. The earliest birthday he remembered. The birth of Annabelle. Holidays down by the beach with there mum, dad and grandparents.

"Daniel?" He snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Tractus but he saw that his vision was blurry, he didn't notice that he had started crying, so he rubbed his eyes and he could see clearly again.

"Sorry about that. What were you saying?"

"You do realise that training is almost nothing like an actual fight."

"Yes, I know." Daniel saw that Tractus was looking at him strangely and what he said next caught him by surprise.

"Daniel. I wish to test out your skills in battle." Daniel did not know what to say to this beside just one thing.

"Why?"

"I want to see how you battle, how you deal with it and how creative you are." Daniel was not a very violent person and the only times he showed signs of it was if one of his friends or family was hurt or if his life was in danger.

"I-I don't want to fight."

"You want to keep those close to you safe and to do that ,one way or another, you will eventually have to fight." Daniel knew that Tractus was right and he was going to have to fight King N in the future if he wanted to keep this world which is his new home around and to keep Annabelle safe, but another major reason was to get back at him for what he did to earth.

"Fine." Daniel looked at Tractus. "But, where are we going to battle?" Tractus stretched his left arm out and the scenery changed. Daniel no longer found himself in his living room but instead on a rocky grey planet that seemed to be orbiting another much larger planet that had yellow clouds a bright red colour could be seen glowing under its yellow clouds. "Where are we?" He asked as he turned back to Tractus.

"We are far from Equestria, on the other side of the universe on a moon orbiting a volcano world so we won't have any interference." Daniel looked back at the planet that this moon was orbiting. He decided to try and see if he could get this sight to show in the sky of his pocket dimension when he was back home as it looked somewhat nice. "Because this is your first time fighting a entity, at least from what I know about you, I will let you have the first strike." Daniel looked back at Tractus who had his arms folded and was waiting.

"You cant be serious."

"I am Daniel. Now show me what you have learned." Daniel was unsure as to what to do so he just did the first thing that came to his mind. He gathered up cosmic energy into a blue orb and threw it at him as quickly as he could and it exploded when it impacted with his face.

Daniel was a little worried as he did not know what to do if that actually hurt Tractus but as the dust settled he saw him still standing in the same place and he had no injuries at all, he did not even look hurt in the slightest. "My turn." With that Tractus raised his hand to the sky and a purple beam shot from his hand which curved and went directly towards Daniel who had no time to react at the speed it was going and it hit him directly on the chest. Daniel did not know how to describe the pain he felt from the blast, it felt like someone shoved a butcher knife with salt on it inside a open wound.

He got up off the ground slowly and as he did he saw that the front of his cloths were burned through and he had a burn on his chest. He looked back to Tractus who seemed to be observing his injury and reaction. "You have somewhat impressive endurance for a beginner, however your tolerance to pain is pathetic." When Daniel picked himself up he decided to try again so he fired another orb of comic energy at Tractus who smacked it away with his hand and raised his hand again. Daniel saw the attack coming this time and managed to dodged it then ran up to him and tried to punch him but just as his fist was about to make contact Tractus turned transparent which caused Daniel to phased right through him and hit the ground. "Wow, You are not very good at this. You will never be able to protect your sister if you can't even hurt me."

Daniel picked himself up and looked back only to be punch by Tractus and that sent him flying like a ragdoll over several feet. Daniel picked himself up again but as soon as he saw Tractus standing in front of him he decided to try another tactic, he made himself invisible and flew behind Tractus in hopes of getting him by surprise so he then launched another orb at him but just as it was about to hit him he turned around, avoided the attack and punched Daniel right in the stomach which caused him to cough up blood and become visible again.

"What can I do, I have tried what I know and nothing works, even if it did work it is not enough to hurt him." Daniel was in a panic, he didn't know what to do that would work against Tractus and was just about to surrender when he remembered what he said before they had their fight. I want to see how you battle, how you deal with it and how creative you are. Daniel was now trying to think about what he hasn't tried already and after a few seconds he got a idea, just as he got that idea he was hit again by another punch from Tractus.

"You wont have that long to recover in a fight." Daniel didn't care what he was saying. He now had a plan and he needed it to work, he felt like he could collapse any moment so he waited for Tractus to attack again. He looked at Tractus with a expressionless face so he wouldn't suspect anything. "Giving Up?" Daniel just looked at him angrily. "You still have some fighting spirit after all that? Impressive, for an amateur." Daniel was starting to get very angry at Tractus but he did his best to control it and waited, as soon as he went to punch him again Daniel let a grin slip which Tractus saw but it was too late. The moment he got close to Daniel he moved to the side and his hand started to glow, with his index finger pointed towards Tractus who now found himself unable to move and then Daniel went on the offensive as he went to punch Tractus with a fist full of cosmic energy which resulted in an explosion on impact which sent Daniel back a few feet.

Daniel felt somewhat thrilled, his plan worked, he stopped time around Tractus which let him get a solid hit on him. "How's that!" He shouted at the dust that was still settling but the moment it settled he almost lost all joy as Tractus was standing there and still uninjured.

"That was somewhat creative, but you need to do better." Tractus ran up and kicked Daniel in the stomach which caused him to hold it and drop to the ground. Tractus could tell that Daniel for the most part was still holding back and he was trying to get Daniel to not hold back but so far nothing seemed to be working. He had a idea of what to say that would likely get Daniel to not hold back but he also had to tell Daniel the truth to make his point. "If you can't hurt me then your sister and kids will suffer the same fate as whoever you failed in life did." As soon as Tractus finished that sentence Daniel's eyes snapped open, his kids and Annabelle along with Twilight and the rest flashed in his mind causing his body tensed up. Tractus turned and faced away from Daniel. "It's no wonder you choose to hide back in Equestria, you hide because you are a coward." It was taking every ounce of Daniel's will not to just attack Tractus there and then. "I wonder what your parents would think if they saw how pathetic you are." Daniel felt something inside him snap and all the anger he felt from before that was burning. He started to feel a heat burning in his chest and he started to stand up.

But as he got up he felt like it wasn't him who was doing it. He felt conflicted in himself. One part was screaming to hurt Tractus and not hold back while the other side told him to not hurt even in training. But he felt like the first side had more control and felt his limbs tense up, ready to attack.

Tractus turned back to look at Daniel who was no longer holding his stomach and was standing up with tears falling down his face. He felt guilty that he said those things to him and after a few moment he sighed and decided to apologize as Daniel wasn't fighting back, he broke him. "Look. Daniel, I'm sorry about the things I said, I was only tying to get you to not hold back, While we were fighting I saw that I couldn't bring out your best with just attacks so I resorted to words that I shouldn't have said." He looked at Daniel who was still unmoving and standing up. "I think that is enough for today. I will take you back home and ask Mother Nature to heal you." He moved his left hand to the side to teleport them back the same way they got here but he couldn't as he felt something preventing it.

When he looked to the side he saw Daniel holding his arm back with one of his own, Tractus eyes widened in surprise at the fact that Daniel moved so quickly, but what creeped him out was that Daniel's other arm was hanging limply and his head was still looking down to the ground. Tractus tried to move his arm away but Daniel would not let go. He saw Daniel's head was starting to rise up and when he saw Daniel's eyes he felt very uneasy. His eyes were red where they were previously blue and his face had a smile on it, a creepy smile that a killer would have.

"Too late to apologize Asshole. " Daniel spoke, his voice sounding deep and eerie. Before Tractus could respond he felt a sharp pain in his stomach and saw that Daniel had punched him there with his other hand then Daniel let go of his arm and brought his palm up to his head and fired a cosmic blast right at Tractus who was sent a good few feet away. When Tractus got back up he looked over at Daniel and saw that the arm he used to blast him with was covers in wounds with blood pouring from the gashes. Tractus actual felt a little scared, he had never seen or heard of Daniel acting like this before but it was not long before he was snapped back to reality.

Daniel charged at him but he managed to avoid it and then he raised his hand which sent the same purple beam he used before right at Daniel at close range and it made contact with it's target but then something unexpected happened. Daniel grabbed his hand while the beam was still being shot from it and he didn't let go. As the dust settled Tractus saw Daniel was harmed by his attack, quite harmed. One eye was blasted off and he had half his face blown off by his attack to the point his skull was half skeleton but Daniel kept going. When he looked into his eyes he saw Daniel's kindness, reasoning and all the rest conflicting with the anger in his mind.

" He is not fully in control but is still holding back? Mentally and physically. My level was recorded at Multiversal. Meaning it would take at least universal level to hurt me unless I was caught off guard. He hurt me and he is still holding back when he has barely had any training or fighting experience. Well he did get me by surprise so that might be why he hurt me." Tractus looked up at the planet and saw it had turned to dust. The shockwave of Daniel punch when he got angry blasted it apart and the shockwave even hit the star and it was about to go supernova.

Tractus saw the Omnidirectional shockwaves that Daniel's punch made and they were spreading far and wide. Tractus used his other hand to make a barrier around their from a few light-years away. When the shockwaves hit his barrier he managed to stop them but the sheer power of them damaged his hand as the power source he had in his had to keep the barriers up exploded.

Daniel gripped his arm tighter. "Don't you ever mention those things again, Never again." Daniel said in a low voice and further tightened his grip. His face had fully healed from the injury he got from before, his missing eye was back and he still had a creepy smile. Tractus swore that if he had bones in his arms then they would have fractured by the way Daniel was gripping it. Daniel raised his palm to the sky and a blue orb appeared, it started to grow in size and kept growing all the while Daniel didn't let go of him and he had a creepy grin on his face.

Tractus tried to get out of Daniel's grip so he tried to fire another beam at him but Daniel's hand started to glow again and he once again found himself stuck in a time loop. Tractus was stuck and all he could do was watch as the giant ball of comic energy Daniel had grew in both power and size and watch as the star was about to explode close by. He also saw that the arm that Daniel was using to hold up the energy ball was now covered in wounds and blood was flowing from them, this caught his attention and he looked at Daniel to see if he knew about it but it didn't look like he did and if he did then he certainly didn't care. Upon further inspection Tractus saw that Daniel was sweating, his head seemed to be spinning and it looked like he was having some trouble keeping his eyes open, after a few seconds more the giant ball of cosmic power started to shrink in size and when it fully disappeared Daniel collapsed on the ground out cold.

When Daniel collapsed Tractus wasted no time contacting Mother Nature to come and help with his situation. The star has just went supernova and the explosion was almost at the planet. Tractus himself was still in shock from Daniel's sudden change and he received a good few injuries. It only took a few moments for Nature to arrive.

"What is it Tractu- Oh sweet goodness! What happened to Daniel!?" She screamed as she saw the burn on his chest and the wounds in both of his arms.

"I will explain later, but first we need to help him." Mother nature picked up Daniel as Tractus moved his arm to the side causing the scenery around them to change and soon they were back in Daniel's house, just escaping the supernova by moments. Nature placed Daniel on the couch and started to work her healing powers on his injuries. After a few minutes his injuries were fully healed and Nature took a deep sigh of relief before she turned back to look at Tractus. "What happened to him!?" He sighed.

"Ok, I will tell you now."


Daniel was finally starting to regain conciseness but all he could see was darkness and he didn't have the strength to move. He felt numb, he could not feel his arms or legs but the feeling was slowly returning, while he laid there he heard faint voices that he could barely make out.

"It's no wonder he tried to do that to you then. I mean honestly, you could have left his parents out of it. Considering that they died and he blames himself for it!"

"I know, it was uncalled for. I was just trying to help him if he should get into a real fight."
Daniel was no longer numb and could feel again and felt like he was lying on something soft and his hearing was getting better.

" You are lucky he hasn't adapted to using that amount of cosmic power, it could have seriously hurt you if he actually hit you with that attack and with your injured hand you wouldn't have way to block it. Speaking of which, why didn't you try and get through to him, if what you said was true then why didn't you try?" He recognised that voice belonged to Mother Nature and he slowly opened one of his eyes to see who she was talking to but everything was blurry.

"He was already very angry when I apologized and gave a reason for why I said those things but it didn't work so I saw no point." He recognized that voice belonged to Tractus. Daniel felt like he could move again so he tried to sit up but stopped when he remembered what happened, about how Tractus effortlessly beat him in a fight.

"Remember our promise to the previous heart bearer? We promised her we would take care of the next bearer. And speaking of the previous bearer how is it that she knew so much abo- Daniel? Are you awake?" He opened his eyes and let his vision clear and after it did he saw that he was in his living room. He looked over to Mother Nature who said his name.

"Yes? What it is-" He asked while trying to sit up only to feel a burning pain shoot sharply through his arm and he collapsed back on the couch.

"Don't try to move right now. You need to recover." Daniel saw that his hoodie had been removed and was now in his yellow t-shirt but when he saw his arm he got a shock. His arm was almost fully red from dried blood.

"What happened?" When he asked that Mother Nature turned and looked at Tractus with a frown.

"It was my fault, I pushed you too far. I'm sorry Daniel." As Daniel though back to the fight he didn't once remember that his arm had these injuries.

"What do you mean? I don't remember you giving me these injuries. All I remember was falling asleep and having this strange dream after I was on the ground." Mother Nature was the next to speak.

"Well, according to what he said about what happed during your fight. He said some things that he shouldn't have which resulted in you going berserk and after that you collapsed from the injuries caused by the amount cosmic power you were using. You were so very close to causing Tractus some serious injuries. That attack was almost multiversal level." Mother nature placed her hoof on Daniel's arm and a small green glow started to cover his arm and the pain in it started to go away. Daniel looked back to Tractus and took a moment to think of his actions before he spoke.

"I forgive you, you were only trying to get me ready for a fight." Mother Nature looked at him.

"That's nice Daniel but I think he should be sorry about what he said." Daniel took a moment to think and remembered the things he said before he entered what felt like a dream, he felt his anger coming back but he suppressed it. He looked to Mother Nature.

"Did he know what happened to my parents?" Nature spoke.

"I didn't tell anyone and when I mentioned it beck in the citadel when we first met, it was before he arrived." Daniel looked back at Tractus, while he did want to hurt him for what he said about his parents he remembered that just a few seconds ago Mother Nature told him that he was close to giving Tractus some bad injuries so he felt like he could forgive him, this once.

"You didn't know, so I forgive you. Just don't do it again now that you do know." Daniel still felt angry and wanted to attack him right now for what he said before but didn't bother to pay it any attention as it would likely just make things worse. He looked outside and saw that it was dark then he looked back to Mother Nature. "How long was I out cold for?"

"Not that long, a few hours." She said as she turned back to Daniel and she then got a idea. "Hey Daniel, you still want to train?"

"Yes, I do but I just recovered from that battle so is it not too soon?" She smiled at him.

"You haven't fully recovered, your injuries are healed but you strained your mind and body in that battle, not just by using so much cosmic power but also about how you snapped after what Tractus said. So I have a idea for some training that you can do alone." This caught his attention. "When you are alone I want you to try something simple and not destructive like putting up a shield, a few times a day if you can and each new day I want you to put a bit more cosmic power into it, eventually your body will adapt and with that your training with us will likely be a little easier, plus you can still take it easy while doing it."

Daniel liked the sound of that as it would mean he would still be getting stronger without overdoing it, until he recovers fully.

"Have you seen Annabelle? How's she been?"

"She is in your pocket world with the rest of your kids." Mother Nature stood up. "Well, I will be going, you take it easy for a day or two." She said to Daniel before she disappeared leaving just him and Tractus in the living room.

"I should leave you alone. Bye Daniel and sorry about before." Before he went away Daniel remembered something and asked him to stop.

"Tractus, wait." He stopped and turned to look at Daniel. "Can you help me with a little problem I have?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"Well, It's about the laboratory. I would like to expand it but not on this planet." Daniel almost smacked himself as he just realised how stupid that sounded. "I mean I want to expand it, but is it possible to do that without actually increasing it's size over an area." Tractus looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

"You mean like, Make it bigger on the inside?"

"Yes, can you do that?" He asked with a smile.

"Sure. But why have you not? You made a pocket dimension so that should be easy for you." Daniel told him about the issue he had.

"I have a bit of trouble with doing that as I also want to make entrances for Thag and Brago so they can both visit the lab. And if I imagine the area and then say in my mind 'I'll make it this size' and I make it so tiny...I don't want to make a black hole and crush my lab."

"I think I understand what you mean, Hold on." Tractus hand started to glow and then a stream of glowing white mist left his palm and headed to the lab door and vanished when it touched it.

"That should do it, There is a field around your laboratory that causes a space distortion so now you can expand it without actually taking up land. If you want to make entrances for your friends then just make a door in the laboratory and an door where they are and then connect them like you have done before." Daniel felt thrilled.

"Thanks Tractus, but what happens if someone was to touch the field from outside?"

"They would fall into your laboratory."

"Can you show me the field? I need to do something." Tractus just looked at Daniel before he place his hand on Daniel's head and when he did Daniel knew where the field was and how big it was, he felt like he was it and he couldn't describe what that felt. He ignored that thought and concentrated.

He knew where the field was so now he continued with his plan, He thought about multiple layers of metal around just outside that field. Iron on the outside, followed by steel and then titanium and with a snap of his fingers he made them appear. 3 Strong metal layers to cover his lab and stop others from falling in if they should find it. He knew his lab was a small metal ball that was connected to this house from underground. In a way if all the dirt was removed it would look like a walkway going underground and then getting smaller before connecting up with a metal ball not bigger than a mid sized bolder. Tractus removed his hand from Daniel's head.

"So you made layers of metal? Why?"

"To make sure if it is discovered by accident then nothing can get in from outside, at least not without alerting me or the whole lab." Tractus just nodded his head.

"Well, I should go, you take it easy now." He vanished in a burst of blue dust.

Daniel was left alone on the couch in his living room, left to think over what Mother Nature had said to him, he thought that it was good to do what she mentioned and try to adapt to large amounts of comic energy but he decided to do that another day as he, despite just waking up, felt a little tired.

"Daddy?" Daniel looked to the side to see Caroline Walking up to him.

"Yes Caroline?"

"Are you going to be ok?" Daniel was about to answer when he heard someone coming into the room and when he looked to the sound he saw all of his robot kids looking at him.

"Why are you all here, You are usually never out of the lab, now you are all together." He was approached by a Ebony coloured bot that he knew was Elizabeth.

"When your friends brought you back and Barry heard about what happened he informed us right away. Are you ok Daddy?" Daniel could hear concern in her voice. He looked over to the rest of them and they were all waiting on his answer.

"Don't worry about me, I will be fine."

"We do worry about you. Auntie is cheery after being sad and now you are hurt. Please, don't be like she was or get hurt. We want to see you and her smile again." Daniel looked around at the rest of them, they all looked sad by the way both of their shutters were and by the size of the pupils in their eyes. Daniel suddenly felt a little upset at the fact that he forgot they would worry about him, he has been trying to keep his sister happy and has also been doing the same with his robot kids but in all that time, he didn't once think that they would worry about him as he thought they would not need to because of what he could do. He looked back down to Elizabeth and smiled before hugging her to which she seemed surprised.

"Don't you worry about me, I promise you I will smile as often as I can." Daniel saw the shutters over her eye close and she then seemed to rest against him, the others approached them and Daniel knew what they wanted so he nodded his head and the rest of them joined in with the hug. After a few minutes Daniel decided to go and check on Annabelle but his kids were still all in the hug. "Uh, Kids, you can let go now." When he said that they all stopped their hugging and Daniel stood up.

"Daddy are you going to check on Auntie?" Daniel heard one asked, female by the voice, and when he looked at her he saw that she was a Amber colour.

"Yes I am Abbey, why?" A Orange one walked up beside Abbey and spoke.

"Can we come with you?"

"Of course you can Orion, you all can." They all walked to the door that lead to the pocket dimension and Daniel opened it to let his kids in before he closed it, the last one to enter was Freddy. When he closed the door he turned and saw that all of his kids were waiting on him.
Daniel walked over to the tree bed to find Annabelle awake and looking at the sky. "Annabelle?" She looked over to him. "How have you been?"

"Alright. I'm just thinking. Back home a lot of little girls would probably go crazy if they could be on this kind of world and yet here I am and I feel...normal." Daniel chuckled.

"Well you have gotten used to it so it's not as thrilling. But perhaps I can change that. I might take you to visit Canterlot." She jumped up when she heard that.

"Really!?" She sounded excited and he just nodded. She then jumped towards him and hugged him and his kids laughed when he fell over.


Mother Nature was talking with Tractus on a moon that was orbiting a blue star somewhere in a separate galaxy. She wanted to get full details of the fight between him and Daniel.

"We barely know anything about the Heart of how it effects the host. So I need you to tell me as much as you can." Tractus looked up and explained.

"I tried to see how strong he was but no matter what I did he always held back. But after mentioning about his parents he got angry and attacked me. But I could tell by looking in his eyes he was physically and mentally restraining himself to go all out. When I was fighting him before he always tried to stay in control of his emotions and he didn't manage to hurt me until he just went on the offensive." Nature thought about what he told her.

"Emotions and metal restraint...Could...could his power be determined by his emotional and metal state?" She asked herself.

"Perhaps. When he punched me before getting angry his punch would barely be considered moon level or planetary. But this could be good, we have another heart bearer and have seen into some of it's power and now we can study it. This could be beneficial to underst-" He was cut off.

"No. We will let Daniel choose if he's willing to take some tests and not pressure him into them." She said to him.

"But Nature is it not his responsibility to-" He was cut off again.

"They say with great power comes great reasonability. But my question is this...is that just a saying to try and get powerful ones to follow some kind of moral code? We are responsible for our own actions and don't have to follow a responsible code just because we have power. Yes I am aware there are some rules to being an entity but I just don't agree with that ' great power comes great reasonability' stuff. Daniel didn't want to get those powers but now he sees how useful they are. But it wouldn't be fair, He didn't want them, he lost his world and all he holds dear besides just his sister and now you slap that silly superhero moral code stuff on him. And while it is good in some ways, there is a time to follow it and a time to leave it. Daniel currently would be best left to choose his own path." Tractus knew what she meant. To her it's better to show someone what good their powers can be used for and that one to take responsibility for what they do rather than force responsibility on them and say 'you have to do this' just based on what they can do.

"I...I understand what you mean...but I could also help him to discover more abou-"

"Tractus." Nature narrowed her eyes at him. "Stop trying to get me to change my mind." Tractus felt his chest tighten up in fear and stepped back. While he was a multiversal level entity and was around the top 150 most powerful entities out of thousands of them, Nature was the 2nd most powerful entity and ranked at High complex multiverse level. Out of all of them the only one who surpassed her was the most powerful entity, their leader Archie who was rumored to be ranked at low Hyperversal level.

"S-sorry." She smiled and stopped her narrowed gaze.

"It's alright. But let Daniel follow his own path, he is still very young. In face if he was born a child to a pair of entity parents he would barely be the age of a child right now. Understand he is going through a lot, his friends, sister, kids and an alliance to manage, and from what I have seen he is bottling up his negative emotions. Now would be perhaps the worst time to try and get him to follow any moral code." She smiled gleefully. "Besides he is already following a moral way of thinking if he forgave you and didn't want to hurt you even after what you said."

"Still...the last heart bearer we had was a mysterious one. She always seemed to keep to herself...well beside for you and Archie." Nature looked at the ground.

"Yeah. She was a good friend."

"What did she tell you?" She looked back at Tractus.

"She told me the next heart bearer would be called Daniel and..." She didn't respond.

"And what?" Nature looked away.

"Never mind. But...you know what I'm always confused by?" She asked.

"What?"

"Why did King N turn bad?" Tractus remained silent. "So even you don't know."

"Do you?" He asked and she shook her head.

"No. All I read was he had a single battle and then...a few days later he just turned and in all my searching I never found why. We had a heart bearer who defeated King N before and we all thought it was over. Years later we hear that King N is back and a few month later we feel the energy of another heart bearer. I feel like this isn't all just a coincidence. That there's something else at work here, something we aren't seeing."

Both of them went on their separate ways after another short talk.


It has been a few days since Daniel started to train in putting up a shield and every day he added more cosmic power to it which made it stronger, while it took him a few try's at first to get the shield to stay up he managed to get it down correctly after a few hours on the first day of trying it. He still had to test out how strong it was, which is what he was planning to do soon, and the generators were close to being complete as two out of the three were finished and the third was more than half way done which made Daniel happy. Soon he could start constructing and upgrading an army and perhaps give his kids more advanced bodies.

He was currently on his way to Twilight's library because he wanted to learn more about what this world thought or knew about humans. Annabelle didn't want to stay hidden and Twilight seemed to be very happy when she's reading that book where it mentions him in his Mew form. She seemed to jump at the thought of befriending it, so he thought that if he could learn about what they think or know about humans then telling his friends who he and his sister truly are might be a little easier.

There was still a thought that was annoying him at the back of his head and it was about what their reaction would be if they knew about what he could do and if they would fear him. For how long he has lived here now he has discovered that the ponies seem to think of Celestia as a goddess and that is what worried him, what their reaction would be if they discovered that what he could easily overpower her. He had no intentions of doing so but it is still something he has to take into consideration.

"I can perhaps just tell them who me and Annabelle are and not need to tell them about what I can do." Daniel seemed to be happy with that until he remembered something that removed it entirely. "Oh Crap, Luna. She saw me in my dream, if I reveal myself she might discover I am the shadow and when she does then there is no point in hiding it." Daniel sighed. "What am I going to do?" As Daniel approached the library he took a deep breath and then chapped on the door and was surprised when Spike answered.

"Hello Cosmos." Daniel heard what sounded like books falling from inside the library.

"What's going on?" Spike was about to speak but was cut off.

"Spike, Who is it?"

"It's Cosmos." When he said that Twilight walked to the door.

"Oh Cosmos. I am so glad to see you, can you give me a hoof?" He gave her a nod and she went back inside the library and Daniel followed but he stopped when he saw the way the library was. It wasn't tidy and there were books almost all over the floor. He turned to Spike.

"What's happening?" Spike was about to speak when Twilight cut him off again.

"Princess Celestia is coming for a visit. I need to make sure that everything is perfect." Twilight said while cleaning everything rapidly with a duster.

"Twilight, don't you think you are overreacting?" When he asked that Twilight turned and looked at him.

"Cosmos, this is a visit from royalty, Everything needs to be perfect." Daniel decided to change the subject but Spike spoke.

"You know Twilight this would be a lot easier if the two of us were not getting under each others feet." Twilight got a idea from this.

"Great idea. You clean, I will go and see how everyone else's preparations are coming." She handed Spike the duster with her magic and started to walk to the door. Daniel got a idea, something that just might help solve his problem of them fearing him if they knew what he could do so he decided to try it out, he called to Twilight which made her stop.

"Hey Twilight can I ask you something before you go?" She turned to look at him.

"Can it be quick? This place needs to be cleaned."

"Sure, I was wondering, about that book you were reading that was about Daring Doo. Are you not a little bit scared or cautious about that cat like creature?" She continued to look at him.

"What do you mean?"

"Did it not mention that it can alter time, space and reality. Does that not scare you, I mean you did say you would like to meet it but did you take what that means into account?" She smiled at this.

"Cosmos, It mentioned in the book that the creature is friendly and even if I didn't know that from the book I would still try to be nice to it if I met it, remember Zecora? I gave her a chance." Twilight said that with a smile.

"You didn't meet her personally and your friends managed to still convince you." With that her smile dropped.

"I know, but I learned not to judge until you know them truly and not based on what others say. So what if the creature can do all that, does that make it bad or something to be feared? You don't see me being scared of Celestia because of what she can do."

"She is your princess and has been around for a long time so it is likely you wouldn't." She understood what he meant.

"I would only fear it if it was hostile, but from what Daring mentioned, it's not so I don't see it as something to fear." Daniel didn't know what to think now. Twilight was willing to give him, his mew form at least, a chance and not judge it right away or fear it because of what it could do. "Ok, Now I need to go and check on the preparations, Cosmos, will you stay here and help Spike clean up?" Daniel looked at the mess of the library and decided to help.

"Sure." Twilight smile and walked out the door and closed it. Daniel started to help Spike clean up the library and while he did he saw a book based on the other species that lived in countries outside and within Equestria, or he assumed it was by the title alone which was 'The Many Known Species of Equus'. Curious, he picked up the book and opened it to the index at the back and read out a few names in his mind. "Minotaurs, Griffins, Timberwolf, Diamond dogs, Changlings." Daniel was going to keep looking over it until Spike spoke to him.

"Remember, you need to arrange the books in alphabetical order when you place them on the shelves." Daniel looked back at Spike and saw him looking at a bunch of books and then started to do the alphabet while looking at the letters in the titles before he arranged them in a pile and place them on the shelves. Daniel did the same so he looked for the T section on the shelves and when he found it he looked at the second letter of each title on the books until he found where to put it and put it in it's proper place.

It went on for a few more minutes and eventually the place was clean. Twilight still had not come back yet so Daniel decided look and see where the book based on his race was and he quickly found it thanks to how they were arranged so he got the book and started to read it. It was night time before Twilight returned home and Daniel had finished reading the second book based on his race and he didn't know what to think about what he read.

For the most part there was nothing on human culture or anything just mostly theories about how humans did exist and others to go against it and say how they didn't but there was two thing they got correct and it was that they theorised that humans were somewhat like a minotaur or diamond dog, that they walked on two legs and had hands but other theories were funny like how they thought that humans would have fur covering their bodies. Apparently the reason humans were a myth is because they were in stories even before princess Celestia was born and no fossils of anything that resembles humans has been found so far. But the reason some ponies think they are real is because there was a king who was fascinated with them a long time ago and there was even rumours about a ruin that was built by a currently unknown race.

"What kept you Twilight?" Daniel asked as she entered the house.

"Sorry about that Cosmos, but I got side-tracked. I needed to make sure everything was perfect for Celestia's arrival. Also look at this." Resting in Twilights hair was a creature that had a round body, wings and looked like they were from a fly, small legs and giant eyes, in a way it looked kind of cute. "The library looks great thanks for the help, where's Spike?" She asked while looking around for him.

"Oh, he is asleep." Daniel pointed up to the bed that Spike was sleeping in.

"Well, thanks anyway." She sighed. "I hope everything comes together for tomorrow." She was still crazy over making sure everything was perfect.

"Well, I will be going home now. I guess I'll see you tomorrow." Daniel walked to and opened the door.

"Ok, Bye Cosmo." Daniel went home and checked on Annabelle, she was sleeping and his kids were sleeping around her too. He then headed to the Living room and sat down and decided to watch some DVDs until morning.

Throughout the night Daniel was thinking about how exactly he would reveal who he and his sister were to his friends and he decided that if he was going to tell them who him and Annabelle were then the first thing he needed to know would be their reaction to something new so he decided that tomorrow he would wait for the right moment to change into his mew form and approached Twilight or another one of his friends all the while he would still have his pony clone close by.

"I'll slowly reveal a bit more about us over time until the point where I feel like I can fully trust them to keep it a secret, goodness knows how other ponies or the princesses will react." He took a few more hours to think over things and it was almost morning by the time he made up his mind. "Ok, so I will show up in my mew for sometime today if there is a good moment for it to happen. Then over the next few days I will tell more about my past but nothing that will reveal what we truly are right away. After a few more weeks or months when they fully know me and Annabelle then I can perhaps see about telling them the truth." Daniel looked outside and saw it was morning and Twilight would likely be up early to get everything right for the princesses visit so Daniel got up, changed into his pony form and put on the fake mark tattoo before heading to his ponyville house.

He asked Annabelle if she wanted to come along with him and she accepted. She happily jumped while walking beside him.

He made his way to Twilights library to try and make sure she didn't over do things with the princess coming for a visit. When he was at the door he chapped it and waited for an answer. When the door opened he was greeted by Spike.

"Morning Cosmos. Strawberry, you're here too." He said with a yawn.

"Morning Spike, is Twilight in?" When Annabelle asked that Daniel saw that the library was a mess which was not what he expected because of the way Twilight was wanting everything to be flawless yesterday.

"No she isn't." Daniel thought she was checking on the preparations throughout the town when Spike said that.

"Do you know when she will be back?" He asked

"I don't think she will until those bug things are taken care of." This caught Daniels attention.

"What bug things?"

"Do you remember that thing Twilight brought to the library yesterday?"

"Yes, what about it?"

"When we woke up this morning there was so many and after Twilight and I got all of them sealed in her saddlebag she went to see the rest of our friends to see if they have the same problem." Spike said while walking back into the library and went back to work cleaning it up.

"Wait, all the others took one of these things home with them?" Annabelle wasn't here yesterday so she just listened into their conversation.

"Well, from what she mentioned before she left, I think they did." Daniel just sighed.

"Sorry to leave you Spike but I think I best go and help them, if they need it."

"Fine. Bye Cosmos."

"I'll stay here. Spike could use some help cleaning this place up. But save one of those things for me to see, will you?" Daniel chuckled.

"I will if I can." Daniel took off as Annabelle helped Spike clean up.

Daniel was walking through town and keeping his eyes peeled for friends but he could not find any of them and he saw none of those creatures that Twilight brought to her home yesterday anywhere but he eventually saw Twilight and Rarity talking, both of them had saddlebag. He ran up to them both.

"Twilight, what's happened?" Both of them turned to look at him.

"Oh Cosmos, you're not having problems with them are you?"

"If you recall Twilight, I did not take one of them home with me, so no." Both Twilight and Rarity looked at each other.

"We need to go and see Fluttershy, she knows everything about animals. I am sure she can tell us how to stop them from multiplying." Twilight ran to Fluttershy's house after saying that, Rarity quickly followed her and so did Daniel.

They reached Fluttershy's house but just when Twilight was about to open the door it burst open and a swarm of those things flew outside. They entered her house and saw that those creatures were still everywhere.

"Do something Fluttershy, can't you control them?" Twilight asked her but she was busy trying to stop those things from messing up her house any further.

"I have tried everything I know. I have tried begging and pleading and beseeching and asking politely." Daniel remembered something and he was happy that he did, if he was going to show up in his mew form today he needed to remember to change the colour of his eyes but then he wondered if he should bother as his clone would still be beside them so it would be unlikely that they would know it was him and if he changed his forms eye colour then Fluttershy might think there is more of his Mew form's kind.

He was snapped out of this thoughts by Twilight.

"Cosmos." He looked behind him to see Twilight and the others standing outside Fluttershy's house. "If we can't get them under control before the princess arrives, It'll be a total disaster." One of the creatures seemed to puke but when it did that it only made another one of itself which grossed rarity out.

"Eww, if you ask me it is already a total disaster." Applejack's voice was heard next.

"Here's those apples ya wanted Fluttershy. But ah still can figure why ya need so many." As soon as she said that those creatures flew over to the apples that she had in the cart and ate them all very quickly before flying off somewhere else. "Hey!!" Applejack shouted at them as they flew off.

"What do we do?" Fluttershy asked.

"I got it, nopony can herd like Applejack." Rainbow flew to Twilight after she said that and spoke.

"Yeh, We can drive them back into the forest." They heard Applejack sigh.

"I'll rassle'em up but i'll need every ponies help ta do it. Twilight, you Rarity and Cosmos wait over there. I'll hurdle the little critters straight at ya like a funnel." Applejack pointed to a location and the three of them walked over there, Applejack then spoke to Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy next. "Rainbow dash, you an Fluttershy stay on top of em, don't let em fly away."

"Aye aye." Rainbow Dash saluted before flying upwards.

With a 'Yee haw' Applejack ran forward and gathered them up while Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy kept them down close to the ground. Twilight, Rarity and Daniel did what they could to help and soon all the creatures were gathered into a giant ball.

"All right y'all, here goes nothing." His friends started to run and the ball full of those creatures that they made started to roll along with them. Daniel wanted to know what they were called and because fluttershy did not know he resorted to asking PIA.

"What's the name of those things?"

"Parasprites." Daniel wondered if they were this worlds equivalent of parasites in his world but a major difference is they didn't seem to need a host to feed off of from what he has seen of them so far. Daniel returned his attention to his friends who were still running along side the ball of parasprites and a few of them tried to escape but his friends prevented them from doing so.

"Look out Rarity, that ones itchin'a get away. Keep a lead on'em Rainbow Dash." Applejack was shouting out things all the while still running behind the giant ball. "Hold on everypony. We're almost there." Daniel decided to join in so he ran and caught up with them just as Pinkie Pie started to run along side Twilight.

"Pinkie!" Twilight shouted in surprise.

"Twilight, we don't have much time."

"You're telling me. The princess could arrive at any moment."

"Exactly, that's why I need you all to drop what you are doing and help me find some maracas." Pinkie turned her head upside down when she said that but Twilight seemed to just take her word as a joke.

"Pinkie we have got much bigger problems than missing maracas." Pinkie gasped at this.

"You're right, getting a tuba has to be your number one goal. Follow me." When she finished saying that she zoomed off but Twilight continued to run and after a second Pinkie got in front of Twilight but she was running backwards. "I said follow me." Rainbow Dash flew down to her.

"Pinkie Pie, you are so random." Daniel was not going to complain as it was somewhat funny when Pinkie did those strange things.

"And you are all so stubborn." She zoomed of again but didn't change her footing when she took off this time.

"Forget her everypony, Focus, Head up and move em out." They kept running and after a moment they all stopped running and the ball of parasprites disappeared into the everfree forest.

"All right." Rainbow shouted before smacking Fluttershy's hoofs to which she said 'Ouch'.

"We did it, Nice work Applejack." Everyone gathered around Applejack.

"Couldn't have done it without y'all."

"Now lets get back and clean up the mess they made before the princess arrives." Twilight started to walk away, she was still determined to make everything perfect for the princesses arrival. Daniel looked around and he thought that this would be a good time to appear as mew but he decided not to as Pinkie was not here and he didn't want to leave one of his friends out, it was either they all see him in his mew form or just Twilight so he chose not to and just followed Twilight and the rest of his friends.

They soon arrived back at Fluttershy's house.

"Ok, Everyone knows what to do right? We got to work extra hard to make up for lost time." Fluttershy flew ahead and opened the door and when she did a lot of parasprites zoomed past them like wind. "Where did they come from?" Twilight asked in surprise.

"Well, I may have kept just one." A parasprite was jumping on Fluttershy's back as she said that and while she was smiling her friends were looking at her angrily. "I couldn't help myself, they are just so cute."

"We don't have time to keep rounding up these things. What do we do now?" When Twilight asked that Rainbow appeared wearing what looked like goggles.

"We call in the weather patrol." When she said that she took to the sky and put the goggles over her eyes. "Time to take out the adorable trash." Daniel heard her say before she screamed and then zoomed to the ground. She zoomed all around before she started to spin in one spot and make a small tornado which started to suck up all the parasprites.

"Way to go Rainbow Dash." Twilight cheered her.

"Looks like our problems are solved." As soon as Applejack said that they heard Pinkie speak.

"They will be with these symbols." Pinkie had a pair of symbols with her which got sucked up in the tornado wind. "Hey, give those back." She shouted as the symbols went into the tornado and Daniel saw that Rainbow Dash was having trouble avoiding them from within the tornado.

"I cant hold it! She's breaking up!" Rainbow Dash zoomed out of the tornado and hit her back against a tree and as the tornado slowly disappeared they saw all the parasprites were going into the air and coming down over ponyville.

"Pinkie pie. What have you done?" Twilight asked her and all the others besides Fluttershy were looking at her angrily .

"I have lost a pair of brand new symbols, that's what I've done." Twilight looked annoyed.

"Will you forget about your silly instruments for one second. You're ruining out efforts to save ponyville!" Pinkie looked shocked at Twilight's words.

"Me, Ruin? I am not the ruiner, i'm the ruinee. Or is it ruiness?" Pinkie sat on the ground and thought over what the answer was and while she did Applejack went ahead for a bit before turning to them.

"Come on everypony. There no reasonin with that one. She's a few apples short of a bushel." The rest of them all took off to ponyville. While Daniel was unsure of what Pinkie was trying to do one thing is for sure, she knows what she is doing. The way she talked before seemed to show she knew what to do to stop these things so Daniel stayed behind as the rest ran off.

"Hey, I am trying to tell you all that the ruining is on the other hoof. If you would just slow down and listen to me!" He cleared his throat. "Oh Cosmos." He held up his hoof to silence her.

"Pinkie, Do you know what is going on?"

"You mean with the parasprites? Yup yup." Daniel was sure she knows what needs done now as she knows the name of them.

"Well why do you need musical instruments? Also why so much? Most of the day you've been getting as much as you can."

"I want it to be nice and loud so it attracts them all." Daniel decided to go along with it as Pinkie seemed to know what she was doing, more than the others did.

"So what do you need?"

"Tambourines, a flute and a few other things." Daniel took a moment to think.

"Where am I going to find those?"

"I don't know."

"Wait, you know what you need but not how to get them?"

"Yup. Now let's go, we have wasted enough time." Pinkie took off towards ponyville while Daniel stayed in the same spot.

"I guess I have to use my powers." He said with a sigh. He then headed to ponyville.

When he arrived he found the entire town in a panic because the parasprites were eating every bit of food that they could find and his friends were standing together in a group looking all around at the disaster in front of them.

"Well. Time to get to work." Daniel looked around for a place where he wouldn't be seen and he eventually found a back alleyway at sugercube corner and hid there. When he was out of sight he set his powers to use of thought and made some tambourines and a flute appear before setting his powers back to the use of will just so he wouldn't make a unintentional mistake and set both of the musical instruments on his back. Now that he had both the tambourines and flute he decided to go and try to find Pinkie but it went the other way around because Pinkie found him.

"You have the tambourines and flute! Thanks Cosmos." She appeared from a top window, starched her body down to where he was, took the two instruments from his back and closed the window back over. Daniel didn't know what to do now as Pinkie didn't ask for anything else so he decided to find the rest of his friends and see how they were doing. As he looked around for them he found them in the same spot as before, only Applejack was missing, but he also saw that none of the parasprites were eating anything which got him wondering if they managed to stop them. As he walked up to them Pinkie appeared behind them. "Look tambourines. If you could all just-" She stopped talking when she saw that none of them were paying her any attention and she ran off again after growling angrily.

After a few seconds the parasprites started to eat again but this time it was everything in sight besides food. When Rainbow Dash saw a apple roll over to her she looked at Twilight angrily.

"Hey, it worked. Their not eating the food anymore." Daniel looked all around and saw that the paraprites were not stopping their eating spree.

"Oh no. If they get inside my store. Everypony for themselves!!!" Rarity screamed out before running away and all the others did the same, Daniel was left alone in the spot where his friends had previously been.

"I guess I have to try and deal with this." With that in mind he headed to the everfree forest and when he was out of sight he separated from his pony form changed into his Mew form all the while he still had the controlled pony clone of himself. "I have to try, all of my other friends have so it's only fair." Daniel was about to command his clone to head back into town and go home but his attention was caught when he saw Twilight running to the everfree and she was holding a parasprite in her mouth. He flew up into a tree to hide and ordered his clone to lay on the ground to remain hidden and Twilight soon passed them. Daniel followed his original plan and commanded the clone to go home and then he followed Twilight.

It turns out that Twilight was heading to Zecora's home and she didn't knock on her door, instead she barged in, and Daniel heard a crash after she did. He flew up to the window and peaked inside.

"Have you gone mad?" Zecora was on the ground rubbing her head. Twilight spat out the parasprite.

"Zecora, these little guys are devouring ponyville, and the princess is on her way. Can you help us? Please?" The parasprite flew over to zecora and rested on her nose.

"Oh Monster of so little size, is that a parasprite before my eyes?" Daniel got hope that Zecora knew what to do as she knew their name. While Pinkie also seemed to know what she was doing she has yet to actually do anything.

"I don't know! Is it?" Twilight shouted in a panic and the parasprite flew off of Zecora's nose.

"Tales of crops and harvest consumed. If these creatures are in ponyville." The parasprite spat out another. "You're doomed."

"Thanks for giving her some inspiration zecora." Daniel sarcastically thought in his mind. Twilight looked very worried and gulped before she ran out of Zecora's hut and the parasprites followed her. Daniel flew upwards to avoid being seen. When Twilight was out of sight Daniel turned his attention to what his clone sees and saw that it was indeed in his ponyville house so he commanded it to go outside and go to the spot where his friends had been previously. With that done he flew to ponyville and stayed behind Twilight far enough to not accidentally go ahead if she made a sudden stop and far enough to hid if others were coming the other way.

When she left the everfree Daniel settled down behind a bush and took control of his clone. He knew where Twilight was so he order his clone to go there but he was distracted by her talking.

"Oh No, here she comes." Daniel poked his head out of the bush and saw what Twilight was looking at, he could see Celestia was almost at ponyville and when he looked back at Twilight she ran into ponyville. Daniel wanted to help but hesitated because he didn't want Celestia to see him in this form, not right now at least, and she would be at ponyville in any moment. As he continued to think he heard what sounded like echoed music which he knew means it was his clone that was hearing it so he resumed what he was previously doing but this time ordered his clone to find the source of the music.

To his surprise he saw Pinkie marching down the town while playing all of her instruments at the same time.

"Pinkie, we're in the middle of a crisis here, this is no time for your-" Daniel made his clone look to the side and saw Twilight was looking at her with what he guessed must have been a mixture of confusion and annoyance, but she stopped when she looked around. "-nonsense." When Daniel's clone looked around he to was amazed to see that all the parasprites had stopped eating and started dancing then started to follow Pinkie by hopping in a single file line.

"So she did know what she was doing." Daniel thought and told his clone to follow the line and soon he met up with his friends as they all seemed to join in the line.

"Look." Twilight said while pointing and when Daniel saw Celestia his friends ran in her direction he told his clone to do the same.

When the carriage landed all of his friends bowed to Celestia when she stepped out and Daniel told his clone to do the same.

"Twilight Sparkle my prized pupil."

"Hello princess." All the others got up from the bow so Daniel told his clone to do the same.

"So lovely to see you again, as well as your friends." When Celestia finished saying that she heard the music and looked to the side to see Pinkie leading all the parasprites away, all the while she looked confused.

"So, how was the trip? Hit much traffic?" Twilight asked nervously but Celestia's expression didn't change.

"What is this?" She asked after a parasprite flew onto her wing and rested there for a moment before it continued to follow the music. "These creatures are adorable." Celestia said this after she giggle at the one that landed on her wing.

"Their not that adorable." Daniel heard Rainbow Dash say and by the volume of her voice he assumed Rarity and the others heard it too.

"I am terribly honoured that you and the good citizens of ponyville have organized a parade in honour of my visit."

"Parade?" Daniel almost laughed when he saw the look Twilight's face had on it in his clone's vision. "Oh, yes, the parade." She perked up.

"Unfortunately, that visit is going to have to wait for another time." Celestia said with a sad look. "I'm afraid a emergency has come up in fillydelpha. Apparently there had been some sort of infestation." All his friends looked nervous.

"A infestation?" Twilight asked nervously.

"Yes. A swarm of incredibly bothersome creatures have invaded the poor town. I'm sorry Twilight to have put you all through so much trouble."

"Trouble? What trouble?" Twilight asked with a small giggle inbetween the words.

"Before I have to go would you care to give me your latest report on the magic of friendship in person?" Celestia asked Twilight as she stepped back onto her carriage.

"Even my kids and sister combined are not that sugar coated and they are much younger than Celestia. I swear I hate this kind of friendship talk. I know it's something to cherish but come on, is friendship really that rare that there has to be reports written about it?"

"My report?" Twilight looked at Pinkie who was standing in place as all the parasprites went into the everfree.

"Haven't you learned anything about friendship?" Twilight took a moment before she spoke again.

"Actually, I have. I learned that sometimes the solution to your problems can come from where you least expect it. It's a good idea to stop and listen to your friends opinions and perspectives." They then heard a crash which got them by surprise. "Even when they don't always seem to make sense."

"I'm so proud of you Twilight Sparkle. And I am very impressed with your friends as well." Celestia stopped when she saw Daniel's clone. "If you don't mind me asking, who are you?" Daniel made his clone speak.

"You don't notice me princess? Am i that different without my clothes?" Her eyes widened when he said that.

"Oh, Cosmos. I did not recognize you there. Sorry about that." She turned back to Twilight. "It sounds like you and your friends are learning so much from each other." When she finished saying that her carriage took off.

"Thank you Princess." Twilight said as she took off and then they all walked over to Pinkie who had just finished playing the music as all the parasprites were now in the everfree.

"Hey, what happened to the princess?"

"Emergency in fillydelpha." Twilight told her with a grin.

"Some sort of infestation." Rainbow Dash said with her own grin.

"Oh No, Have they got parasprites too? Well I have a tuba, we'll travel." She started to play again but was stopped quickly by Twilight.

"I think the princess can handle it."

"So you knew what those citters were all along hu Pinkie pia?"

"Well duh. Why do you think I was so frantic to get my hooves on all these instruments? I tried to tell you." Twilight walked closer to her.

"We know Pinkie Pie, and we're sorry we didn't listen." They all apologized to Pinkie after Twilight did. "You're a great friend, even if we don't always understand you."

"Thanks guys, you're all great friends too, even when I don't understand me."

"You saved my reputation with princess Celestia, and more importantly, you saved ponyville."

Daniel started to wonder how he should reveal himself now that the problem is over. He wondered if he should stay back and let one of them see him and fly away after the others have or if he should just act like a non violent creature from everfree. While he was deep in thought he was not paying attention to what he could hear and he felt something touch his back which made him jump up in fright and when he turned around he saw it was a single parasprite.

"I got scared...by that thing. I must seem so pathetic." He face palmed before he returned his attention to the parasprite which was resting on his chest and he thought about how he would get rid of it and he got an idea almost instantly. "I can teleport, so let's try teleporting something else." Daniel held the parasprite in his paws and focused, soon a ball of blue energy appeared around the parasprite and then it slowly faded away. "I need to make sure I did that right." Daniel closed his eyes and used his power to gaze through space, he looked at the lake that he took Annabelle to a few days ago and surly enough the same parasprite appeared there shortly after, happy knowing it was ok he removed his space gaze and his vision returned back to normal.

He heard an echoed gasp and focused on what his clone saw, Twilight Sparkle was looking shocked and when he made his clone move to see what she was looking at he saw himself. He did not know if he was just seeing things so he turned around and saw that all of his friends were indeed looking at him and his clone was as well which was a strange sight for Daniel as he could see himself looking at his clone and his clone looking at him at the same time. Ignoring that feeling he looked to his friends who were also looking at him with curious eyes.

"It...can't be." Daniel heard Twilight say as she slowly started to approach him.

"Twilight, ya know this thing?" Applejack called over but Twilight didn't answer, she kept walking up to him and when she was close enough Daniel lowered himself to her eye level. While they both looked at each other Daniel also order his clone to go forward and speak.

"Twilight, Is that the...?" Twilight looked over to Daniel's clone.

"The creature Daring doo met when she was exploring the old castle." Rarity spoke next.

"I must say, it does look cute." She then had a look of disgust on her. "I hope it is not like those....parasprites, were they called?" Twilight was looking at him the whole time her friends were talking.

"Fluttershy, can you communicate with it?" This time Twilight actually turned and looked at Fluttershy.

"I can try." Fluttershy walked up to him. Applejack and Rainbow Dash looked a bit uneasy but Daniel didn't blame them. "You must be the same one I met all those weeks ago, aren't you?" Daniel nodded and he then heard Twilight and the others gasp.

"Wait, Fluttershy, You've seen this creature before?" She turned to Twilight to answer her question.

"Yes I have, it was weeks ago, before we all became friends."

"Do you know about it's powers?" Fluttershy looked confused at this.

"What do you mean Twilight?"

"According to Daring Doo, this creature can alter reality, time and space." Fluttershy looked back at Daniel.

"I didn't see it do any of that." Rainbow Dash moved over to Twilight and whispered into her ear.

"Twilight, Is this thing safe?" Twilight looked back at Dash with a smile.

"Don't worry, the book said that this creature is very friendly." Daniel decided to play around so he flew up to a tree and grabbed a leaf and then changed it into a violet and placed it behind Rainbow's ear and did it once more but instead of a violet it was an apple and he gave it to Applejack. Twilight looked at her friends with a smile. "You see, it's friendly." Twilight then froze like she just remembered something and when her face returned to normal Daniel could literally see her eyes sparkling and she looked at him with a smile. "I have to tell the princess about this." Daniel got a bit worried at this and backed away a bit.

"Twilight, you're scaring it." Fluttershy said to Twilight before turning back to look at Daniel. "It's ok, she didn't mean it."

"They seem to be taking this well. Never the less, I think that is enough for now." Daniel decided to play the acting game to get away so he made his ears point up and looked around for a few seconds.

"What's it doing Fluttershy?" Twilight asked.

"Sometimes animals have their ears pointed up if they think they hear danger." After Fluttershy said that Daniel took off to the forest.

"Wait! Please!" He heard Twilight call but he continued on his way until he was out of sight. When he was out of sight he turned invisible and headed back over to them. "Why did it fly away like that?" Twilight looked a bit upset which made Daniel feel a bit like a jerk but he wanted to do it as this was just to see how they would react to him in his mew form and it went quite well so he might appear to them again sometime in the future. He flew over to his clone, who was at the back and remerged with it then spoke.

"Well that was....interesting." Fluttershy was looked at him with curious eyes before she looked at the ground and by the look on her face, she was processing something in her mind.

"Yeh it was." He heard Applejack say but then they heard Twilight sigh.

"I hoped I could have learned more about it." Applejack tried to comfort her.

"Cheer up sugercube, you might see it again." Twilight still looked a little disappointed.

"Yeh, perhaps you are right. Well we best get back to ponyville, we have to repair the damage that was done by those parasprites." They all walked to ponyville.

"Now I just need to help repair the town and I can head back home, it shouldn't take that long. How much damage could the parasprites have done?" Daniel and his friends were soon standing in the spot they were in previously which was the spot they stood in after the parasprites were sent to ponyville by the tornado that Rainbow made, and they saw that most of the town was a total wreak. "This...might take a while."
