The Winter get together went better than expected as some Timberwolves and Diamond Dogs got together in Aperture and got along greatly. Daniel felt happy that they were now friends after being foes for so long. Some of the younger pups had to have a robot with them at all times to make sure they didn't get into some place dangerous like the production line in the factory, but luckily they didn't go there. Annabelle ended up sitting with some groups and even ended up playing with the pups at some points. Whenever she was with his kids she seemed happier but occasionally they were snickering like someone told a joke and they were trying not to laugh. Daniel was still having some trouble over what he should do or get Annabelle for Christmas and the more he thought about it the more the same thing kept coming back to him: To try and find another planet that their species are on and is still alive.

After the meal that was shared between him, Thag, Brago and a few others Daniel decided to get his kids something. They all wanted different things. One wanted a tool while another wanted a voice changing Microphone and another would ask for a piano. When Daniel made the piano appear Barry was the one who mostly played on it and he was very good at it. Other gifts included a toy laser gun, some action figures and a small science set with no harmful chemicals. At least none harmful to robots.

The day after the get together was crazy. Twilight was having trouble with an event called Winter Wrap-Up and Daniel ended up having to help by plowing the snow. After Daniel finished and was heading home Applejack asked him a strange question. She asked if he knew what a changeling was and Daniel told her that he had read about them, but other than that he did not know anything aside from the common knowledge.

It has been a little while since that event and Aperture was now expanding at a decent rate, but with the construction and more bots being made with each passing day, that rate was increasing dramatically. While the normal bots did most of the building and digging to expand the place, Daniel, his kids and Alpha all made plans for it. Annabelle came into Aperture every now and then to look around and he had to stop her from messing with controls more than once. It has been 2 days since the events of Winter Wrap-Up and Daniel was now in Aperture, at the robot production line of the factory.

"So what will these upgrades do again?" Daniel asked Alpha who was beside him going over some transparent digital blueprints.

"The first one will make them less vulnerable to the elements like water and air. Corrosion will take centuries. Perhaps even millenniums if I can use that new metal." Alpha turned to Daniel and the blueprints disappeared but then a full scale model of a robot was projected from Alpha onto the floor. "The second one will improve these areas." Bright red flashing circles appeared on the joints of the robot. "These upgrades will enhance their mobility significantly." When Daniel thought about what Alpha was saying something crossed his mind.

"What about my kids? Will they get this upgrade?" Alpha looked to the ground for a second before he spoke.

"Yes they will but it will be more difficult to upgrade them than the normal bots." Daniel got curious to the reason behind that.

"Why is that?"

"Unlike the bots that are made inside this factory, your kids actually have blood. They have veins where they would normally have wires. They have a beating heart and biological brains but they're merged with machinery, but they are still alive and sentient. Upgrading them will take some planning, but for the most part it should be fine." The diagram of the bot upgrade disappeared.

"So wait. My kids have actual blood in them?" Daniel did not know how to feel about that. "How did that happen?"

"It was when I first made them. I made them simultaneously but...remember when I mentioned about how I had just enough power to change the matter in your blood?" Daniel nodded when Alpha asked that. "Well, as the power went down it weakened and I couldn't make the molecules fully mechanical, so I couldn't make them totally machines. So I had to make a rearrangement in the matter, rather than a complete reconstruction this new way moved the blood into different positions and make organs rather than making a full machine. Their molecule rearrangement gave them hearts and brains. So they were created with hearts, veins and brains that are also merged with machinery."

Daniel had to ask something.

"So, How will the upgrade work for them?" Alpha did not avert his gaze from Daniel.

"While they were being made I managed to avoid creating a problem. The hearts makes blood flow around but it's mostly to the brain which is connected to a main signal unit which controls their body. The brain and heart are both inside small jars of clear water which keeps them hydrated. So giving them a mechanical upgrade should not be too difficult as all I need to do is avoid damaging the veins but other than that it should be just like a normal upgrade." Daniel trusted Alpha because he's never let him down so far but this caused a question to pop into Daniel's mind.

"Hey Alpha. When I made you, you said you had tools but I don't remember giving you them. Where did you get them?"

"It might have been your subconscious. If I was just the way I appear, as a mechanical pillar, then I would not be much use. So you likely gave me them subconsciously." Daniel understood what Alpha meant so he didn't question it but, that answer caused another question. "Alpha. Did I give you anything else?" They both looked at each other for a few moments before Alpha spoke.

"What do you mean by that?" Daniel raised an eyebrow.

"Some sort of function. Weapon. Anything?" Alpha Shook his digital head.

"No. There is nothing like that in my databanks."

"Well, ok then. I am heading to see my kids and talk to them about this upgrade you mentioned. They should choose if they want to be upgraded. Also will you make sure that the first load of robots are sent to Brago and the Diamond Dogs sometime today?" Alpha nodded with Daniel in agreement.

"I will have that done by the end of today. What do you want these bots to specialize in?" Daniel stopped in his tracks and thought for a moment. There was a lot of things he could get his bot to teach the Diamond dogs, but he decided to get the most annoying one out of the way first and it also might help them more in the future.

"I would like some of the bots that are sent to them to teach them how to make decent weapons for this kind of era and also to teach them proper English...or Equestrian...whatever it's called here."

"Certainly, It shall be done. Until we meet again I will likely be waiting for you in the factory. Later Boss." Daniel started to walk up the stairs to his left and up to the main level of the factory. While he was walking up the stairs Alpha turned and looked at him. When Daniel was out of Alpha's sight Alpha smiled for a moment before it quickly turned to a look of surprise. He quickly shook his head and went back to his normal monotone face.

As Daniel went out of the factory he looked around and was happy to see how Aperture was growing in size. His kids were still easily distinguishable from the normal bots as their eyes were green instead of red and the spray paint helped identify them from a distance. They were all currently together in a group talking about something. Curiosity got the better of Daniel so he focused on his senses and listened in on what they were talking about.

"What do you all think this place would need. It already has a factory and a material maker but it would likely get more things as it expands." Freddy was speaking to the group and Robert spoke next.

"An ice cream maker." Freddy hit his head with his leg when Robert said that.

"How would that help? None of us eat like that. Our hearts are always pumping away thanks to the mechanical parts in our bodies so the only nutrients we need is for our brains so we really don't need to refeed that often. Only about once every few weeks. Daddy does but he doesn't need to eat." Caroline spoke next.

"What about Auntie Annabelle?" They all looked to Freddy for an answer who was frozen in place after it looked like he was about to say something. He remained quiet for a second before speaking.

"Daddy can just make her ice cream, so no need for that." Robert jumped when something entered his mind.

"Wait. Why can't Daddy not just make everything he needs? From what he told us he can make lots of things." Daniel walked up to Robert and spoke.

"I actually have a reason for that." They all jumped in surprise and looked at Daniel when he said that. "Remember I said I can't fully control my powers? If I do just make everything using them they could turn out different or totally wrong or it could hurt me, like what happened when I made Alpha, but when I do understand how to fully control them then I will make most things like that. The reason I didn't try to make the generators is, because I wanted you all to know that by making the generators you have made a great difference. Also the other reason is that it might have turned out different if I tried it and there were other things happening that required more time so those are the reasons why I didn't just make them. I need to get back to training sometime." Daniel said that last part while looking up at the roof of Aperture which he could barely see.

"So...when you learn to control your powers...will we be useless?" Daniel was shocked when Freddy asked that, when he looked at them he saw their eye shutters go in a way that showed they were upset. Daniel was going to be honest with them.

"No, You will never be useless." All of their eyes widened in surprised when he said that.

"But what could we do?" Victoria asked from behind Daniel.

"I might have those powers but what is power without something to use it? You all have helped me in ways you probably don't understand. I was having a very stressful time before but you all gave me reason to smile again. Granted I was freaked out about having kids...but you all have given great ideas before like with the alliance and lab names. You all make me feel so happy when I am with you and I am sure Annabelle feels the same way. Have you all not noticed that she has been acting a little happier when she has been with you? I have. She is more happy with you than I have seen her been with friends she has had before." Daniel looked to Freddy who Daniel swore would be crying if he could.

He kneeled down and looked at him and then around at the others.

"The lot of you will never be useless to me and don't you think about it for a second." Daniel looked back at Freddy who had his shutters closed and leaned into a hug, the rest of them walked towards Daniel and all hugged him at the same time.

"I-I never knew we were that important to you." Daniel wondered why they would think such a thing.

"Why would you think that?"

"Well...you can do almost anything, made us feel like we were just annoying." Daniel returned Freddy's hug and also hugged the others.

"I might be able to do a lot of things with these powers but that doesn't change the fact that I love my family, true family is irreplaceable and you are one of them. There is nothing I would want to do that could replace you. I would never do that." They held their hug for a few seconds before Daniel broke it. "Anyway, I am here to tell you all about a new upgrade that Alpha has planned."

"What might that be?" Caroline asked.

"He has a plan for an upgrade that will improve your mobility and make you more resistant to corrosion. However because you are made differently than the other bots I though I should ask you all about it rather than make the choice for you. What do you think?" They all huddled together and chatted amounts themselves and Daniel stood there looking at them. They couldn't replace his mum or his dad but whenever he was around them he truly did feel happy, he didn't know if it was because they were made from him or because of how much time he has spent with them. But these bots were his kids and he loved them like you would anyone in your family. They soon parted from their little group and Caroline walked up to Daniel.

"We accept the upgrade. But what about our armor colour?" Daniel smiled and snapped his fingers causing different coloured spray cans to appear and float beside him.

"Already solved." Daniel snapped his fingers again and the cans disappeared.

"I didn't think you were the father type." Daniel jumped in surprise and turned around, when he did he saw Mother Nature.

"I never thought of myself to be that type to but it's amazing what you can become with time." Daniel looked back to his kids. "Listen everyone. The lab will expand over time and while it is good to have plans for the future it might also be best not to overthink things, so why not take a break and go and play?" They looked at one another then back at Daniel.

"Ok, Daddy." With that said they took off to a part of Aperture together. Daniel turned back to look at Mother Nature, who was still in her pony form as Daisy. Daniel didn't notice that his kids were hiding and still looking at him and Nature.

"Now?" Abby asked.

"No, not yet. Wait till she's alone." Freddy told her.

"Nice to meet you again Mother Nature." He said to her.

"Nice seeing you too Daniel. You seem to have cheered up quite a bit since last time we spoke." She said with a smile still on her face.

Daniel looked in the direction his kids went and saw them looking at him and Nature. He then looked back to Mother Nature.

"I guess all I needed to do was look at things in a different way." Nature looked over to his kids who were looking at her.

"You seem a lot happier when you are with them, So how's Annabelle?" She asked Daniel.

"She's happy when she's alone and painting or drawing and she has been interacting with my kids more." Nature heard whispering among his kids but she didn't hear what they were saying in time. By the time she focused her hearing they finished talking.

"They seem to have had a big impact on both of you. By the way what did you get Annabelle for the holiday?" Daniel's face lost its smile.

"I'm unsure what I should do for her but I have a idea. I am thinking about looking for a planet that has our species on it."

"Then what? Will you just leave this world? Leave your friends?" Daniel looked to the ground.

"No I won't. It might make things harder for me however because if I do find such a place and if Annabelle want's to go there often then I will need to make another home there which means I'll have 3 houses to watch over." Nature looked up to the roof of Aperture.

"The universe is pretty big and that's just this one alone." Daniel sighed at the reminder.

"Please don't remind me." Daniel thought about his plan to find the heart pieces. If he couldn't learn how to control his powers by the time the dark sphere arrives at Equestria then this world might meet the same fate. Daniel heard the door to Aperture open and looked in that direction to see Annabelle walking into the lab wearing the new Tinkerbell onesie that he made for her as another Christmas present. Daniel walked over to Annabelle and Mother Nature followed.

As Annabelle stood still and looked around Aperture, she almost lost her balance when she looked up to the roof.

"Hey Annabelle. How's your drawing coming along?" Annabelle looked over to Daniel and was just about to speak when she saw Mother Nature but didn't recognize her in the form she currently was in.

"There coming along nicely but who's this?" She asked while pointing to Mother Nature and she just giggled.

"Don't recognize me Annabelle?" Annabelle shook her head and when she did that Mother Nature became shrouded in a bright light and started to slowly change. When the light died down she was back in her other form and when Annabelle saw her after she changed her eyes widened.

"Oh, Mother Nature. Nice to see you again." Annabelle looked at Nature and what caught her attention was a new feature Nature had, her hair was full of roses that ran down it. Annabelle managed to looked away and at Daniel "Where are your kids?" Daniel chuckled at what she said, she still seems to not have gotten over being an Auntie.

"They're over there." Annabelle walked over to where Daniel pointed to and while she walked there Mother Nature didn't take her gaze off of her. Daniel saw this when he turned back around. "What are you looking at her like that for?" Mother Nature looked back at Daniel with a smile on her face.

"She seems to be quite a bit happier than when I last saw her. Her pain is still there but she has...grown use to it." Daniel turned to look at Annabelle who was now talking with his kids and giggling at something.

"Happier. Less upset. As long as she is feeling better."

"How are things with you and the Alliance coming along?" Daniel looked at the ground when she asked that.

"Well, things are going great between them so far. I just have to see how they'll react to more of my robots being around and helping them." A noise was heard which sounded like something hitting the ground but when they all turned to face the source they saw it was the large doors of the factory opening and then a total of 30 bots walked out and stood in a line of five each. Mother Nature turned back to Daniel.

"What will you do after you have helped the Diamond Dogs?" Daniel answered without changing his gaze from the bots.

"I will help Thag if he needs any. If not, then I will just train until I learn how to control my powers. After that I will take my revenge on King N for what he did." When Daniel mentioned King N his voice grew a bit louder and his eyebrows became narrowed but he then took a deep breath to calm down.

"What about after that? You can't die of old age or most other things at that, thanks to your semi immortality. So when you do get your revenge what will you do then?" Daniel looked at Mother Nature when she asked that and decided to answer.

"I will...eh..." Daniel had no clue what he would do after he beat King N. Part of him wanted to live peacefully but he knew that with him not being mentally enhanced that it could mean he would go insane in the long run but as he thought about that he looked back at his kids and Annabelle and when he did he felt like that wasn't a problem. "I will spend all the time I have with my family." As he mentioned that he heard a door open and looked over to see the door he made that connects to the diamond dog's home was open and his robots were walking through.

As he watched this he remembered he was still going to try and find a world where his kind were still alive and while he knew he wouldn't be able to find such a place today he still wanted to get the hardest part over with. "Hey Nature, is it hard to travel to another universe?"

"If you aren't trained in it then it can be. It all depends on the dimension the universe is in and how far it is in the multiverse. Why?"

"I was planning to try and go to another universe and back, if I am going to find a planet with our species on it then universal travel will likely be needed." Mother Nature looked at him with a little bit of worry.

"You sure that you can handle something like that? Have you adapted to using that much energy?" Daniel looked to the ground and rubbed the back of his head.

"I...I actually haven't been using my powers a lot so the odds are I haven't." Mother Nature sighed.

"Daniel you do know that you can still be a human and be an entity at the same time. Just because you have these powers doesn't make you not human, it makes you special." Daniel didn't know what to think about that but he spoke before thinking.

"What makes me so special? Anyone could have gotten this kind of power so how am I special? just because I did. They say everyone is special so does that mean that nobody is?" When he said that he covered his mouth and waited for a few seconds before speaking again.
"Sorry about that. I sometimes think about stupid things. I appreciate you trying to cheer me up."

"No need to apologise but I and the others know for a fact that you are special." Daniel turned to look at her when she said that.

"How do you know that?"

"Well from what we have theorized. The Heart chooses it's host." This caught Daniel by surprise.

"Wait. I was chosen by the Heart?" Mother Nature nodded.

"Well, think about it. How would...almost everything not be the way it was if anyone could merge with the heart? Because not anyone can. So you are special." Daniel was unsure about how he should take this information but there was something he wanted to know.

"How did you theorise that?" Mother Nature giggled.

"From what we have heard from other entities in other realities, some other species in the past have found the heart and when they touched it nothing happened, that's why we think it chooses who to merge with." Daniel was scared, he didn't know why but he felt like he was just chosen for something very bad.

"Why was I chosen?" He asked.

"I don't know." Daniel decided to try and ask PIA.

"Why was I chosen by the Heart?"

"I don't know." Daniel didn't know if he should be surprised or not by that answer but he still pressed for more info.

"Is there anything about me or the Heart that is known for sure? Anything at all?" She put a hoof on her chin and stayed silent for a few moments before she spoke.

"Aside from what little the previous barer told us? There might be some info we missed. Want me to try and find anything related to you and it when I leave?" Daniel felt a bit happier to know that she would help him.

"I would greatly appreciate that." He decided to now go and try what he was planning to do. "Please excuse me, I have something that I need to do." Daniel started to walk out of aperture and Mother Nature followed him.

As Nature was leaving she heard one of his kids talk to her.

"Excuse me." She turned around to see the golden bot walking up to her.

"Hello. Who are you?"

"I'm Freddy." She smiled at him. He was cute for a machine.

"Hi Freddy. Did you want to speak to me?" Freddy held out a piece of paper in a metal arm and spoke.

"Daddy wanted us to give you this." Nature took it and started to read it.

Dear Flower Pony She giggles at the name.

"We have known each other for a while now and I really like you.

You have a charming personality and you look a lovely a Nature itself. Mother Nature contained a laugh she felt in her throat.

So I was wonder if you would be interested in going out on a date?

Sincerely Daniel." She could clearly see this was made by his kids to try and get her to date him and she decided to play along with it so she put on an act and pretended to be flustered.

"Oh my, I never knew he felt like that. I...should go and tell him." As she left she caught a glimpse of all his kids high fiving...or whatever a high five with stubby spike legs are called and giggling, even Annabelle had a large grin on her face. She walked to the living room and then out of the house where she stopped a little bit away from the front door, which is where Daniel was.

(Continue from here)

Daniel had his eyes closed so he could concentrate and used his power of space to imagine that he could feel the barriers of this universe. He then expanded his power and as he did this he felt his consciousness drift away into something he didn't know but, he ignored it and remained focused. As he continued to do this he soon felt he couldn't go any further outward so he figure he had just touched the barrier so he then focused on the bit that he felt was closest to him and imagined himself opening it. It was not an easy task as when he started to imagine that, he felt like it wouldn't budge a bit. He used his hands and imagined grabbing the barrier spot and opening it with his hands and while he felt like it was opening, it also felt like he was trying to pull metal apart.

He felt that the barrier was starting to move apart but he then felt a sharp pain in his back which caused him to lose his concentration and stop everything he was doing. When his consciousness returned to his body he collapsed and he then heard Mother Nature run up to him.

"Daniel!" As she touched his back he felt another sharp pain like before but it hurt slightly less and he tried to move but Mother Nature stopped him by putting a hoof on his head. "Don't move." When Daniel heard her voice he swore it could rival fluttershy's friendly and sweet one. As he lay there for a few seconds he felt blood run down his sides that was coming from his back but he soon saw a faint green glow was emitting from his back and after a few seconds he felt most of the pain was gone. "That should do." Daniel stood up carefully, he could still feel pain in his back but nowhere near the amount he felt before and he looked at Mother Nature with a smile.

"Thanks for that." He sat down on the ground and sighed. "That will take some time to do."

"You're quite lucky you did not pull the barrier apart very far. We would have to deal with a hole in this reality if you did." Daniel looked to the ground.

"You're not angry? A hole in reality sounds like something serious."

"It is if left unattended, you're lucky I was here if it did happen. Also I am a bit angry because you tried to do something like that when you were clearly not ready for it. But, you are new to all of this so I can't be too mad at you."

"Sorry about that. But, what other way can I train in adapting?" She Sighed.

"You don't always have to injure yourself like that you know. Just using your powers often and using slightly larger amounts every 2 or 3 days will let you adapt painlessly. Take it easy." Daniel agreed with what she said and decided to try what she said and use his powers more often. "By the way how is that shield coming along?" Daniel remembered that she mentioned about trying to make a shield with his powers before and he did do it for a while but soon forgot about it.

"It was coming along greatly." She looked at him curiously.

"Was?" Daniel chuckled.

"I kind of forgot about it after a while." Mother Nature shook her head and had a little smile on her face.

"Well then....how about we see how strong it is?" This caught Daniel by surprise.

"Wait, what?" She just smiled at his reaction.

"I want to see how strong your shield is so could you please put it up?" Daniel was a little unsettled and he remembered what happened when Tractus attacked him but he chose to forget it as this wasn't Tractus so he put up his cosmic shield and readied himself. He saw Mother Nature put her hoof out and launch a green ball of energy towards him and it impacted his shield which shattered on impact and caused Daniel to stumble backwards but her attack also dispersed. "So it is strong enough to block one of my attacks, but not without destroying itself."

"Was that really necessary?" Daniel asked her.

"I just wanted to see how strong it was, no harm done." Daniel raised a eyebrow at that statement.

"What if it went straight through and hit me?" She shook her head.

"You wouldn't have been seriously injured. So don't worry." Daniel was still a little unsettled but he didn't care about it as he knew she was just trying to help him. Mother Nature looked to the sky before looked back at Daniel "Daniel, can I ask you something?"

"Sure. What?"

"Why did you make robots with emotional programing, and why do you call them your kids?" Daniel was surprised at this, he thought she already knew about them.

"Did I not mention them to you before, or is my memory just being bad?"

"Well, yes I have heard about them but to actually see them. It makes me wonder, why you made them like that."

"I didn't make them. Alpha did." She looked at him with more confusion.

"You asked Alpha to make robots with emotional programing?" Daniel shook his head.

"Alpha made them from my own blood that I puked out as a side effect of making him." She looked surprised when he said this.

"Wait so, they're clones of you?"

"Well sort of. From what I understand they are more like extensions of myself."

"So, they naturally have emotions? But they are machines, they can't have emotions." Daniel felt a little hurt when she talked about his kids like that.

"They are not full machines. They have hearts and brains that are merged with their machinery." She had a look of shock on her face.

"So...they have blood?" Daniel was wondering why she was acting like this.

"Yes they do. Why, is something wrong?" She no longer had a look of shock on her face. but instead it was a expression that Daniel couldn't fully understand.

"Daniel...do you know what that means?" He shook his head. "Well from what was speculated about the previous bearer, your blood is very different, you are bound to the heart. But because those robots were made from your own blood, they are bound to you." Daniel was confused by what she meant and she saw this. "Ok...how do I say this in a way you will understand...You should know that when you merged, your blood became unnatural, and it was used to make them. Blood is sent through the body by the heart. You have those powers thanks to the Heart that you merged with. But because the robots were made from your blood they also have a little bit of the hearts power, and that has a cost, if you die because your kids are not the hosts it will take back the power they have in them. In your blood that is within them. Removing there blood. Killing them. If they die, you will live on but if you die, so do they."

Daniel looked at her in shock, he did not know how to take this new information. Daniel had visions flash through his mind of his kids dying for him because of his errors that he has or will make, he placed his hand on his chest.

"Daniel?" When he heard her voice he felt a pain in his chest which caused him to look away from her.

"You...you can't...that can't be true." As she walked around to look at him she saw that he was almost crying and his eyes were starting to glow a blue color. "I-I am not that important! I would never ask anyone to die for me!" She saw he was upset about what she said.

"Hey, I said it was only speculation. It might not be true." This did not change his mood. Nature also made a mental note of his blue eyes. According to Tractus, Daniel's eyes were red when he was angry but here she is seeing them glow blue.

"Might. Might. What if it is?" He was now looking right at her.

"What if it isn't." She said back, Daniel looked like he was about to say something but he didn't and after a few seconds he seemed to settle down as he lay down on the ground and his eyes lost there glow. She decided to try and comfort him. "Look Daniel, I'm sorry if that hurt. I didn't mean it. I will do as you asked and look for anything related to you or the previous bearer." As she looked at Daniel she saw he was crying, she thought he was still upset about what she said.

"Please don't. I have enough to worry about now." She hugged him as he sat up.

"Sometimes, Families change, sometimes they fall apart, sometimes they break, and sometimes they grow. You have a new family now, and friends. You have your kids, your sister, and you're an entity just like us. We think of you as family. You have Brago. Thag and Twilight and the others as friends right now and in the future you will likely make more." She looked at him and saw he was trying to stop crying.

"But...nothing will replace my original...my true family." He was cleaning the tears from his eyes as he said that.

"You're not alone. We are here for both you and Annabelle. You and her are going through the same things, Mostly. But the point is, you're not alone." She saw Daniel was now smiling.

"Thanks. I needed that." She broke the hug and looked at him.

"But you need to let go. You can't keep this guilt bottled up forever, sooner or later, you are going to have to accept it."

"I have dealt with it quite easily so far, it's not that hard."

"Yes, because of Annabelle. She needs you and you do whatever you can for her, but what will you do when she is happy and safe. What will help you through it then?" When she said that Daniel looked angry.

"Revenge. That will help me through it." Daniel took a deep breath to calm down.

"That won't bring them back."

"I know. I know I wasn't strong enough and I can't undo what's been done, but I still could have given myself up in exchange for my homes safety." Mother Nature shook her head when he said that

As Daniel looked to the sky he saw it was orange and when he looked to the side the sun was setting, he knew it was getting late. This time of the day was the one he hated the most as often he just stayed in the lab or watched DVDs until the morning, he didn't chose to sleep because of the dreams he's had before and he didn't want to be reminded of their meaning so he chose to stay up. He knew it was close to Annabelle's bedtime so he turned to Mother Nature and spoke.

"I need to make Annabelle something for her dinner, you're welcome to stay if you want." Mother Nature shook her head.

"Thanks but I think I should get going, I'm going to meet up with the others." Daniel got up off of the ground.

"Well then, I guess I will see you some other time?"

"I will stop by every now and then. Take care, and try not to kill yourself if you train." She was about to disappear when she remembered something. "Oh, and Daniel..." He looked at her. "I would be happy to go on a date with you." She was smiling but when she saw Daniel with a huge blush on his face she laughed.

"W-w-w-what?!" He asked, baffled. Nature grinned at his reaction, still laughing a little.

"Oh, I though you wanted to date me...according to this letter." She gave him the letter and he read it. As he did she swore there was steam coming off his head as his sweat evaporated.

"W-who wrote this? I-I didn't write this." He said in a panicked tone.

"Aww. Really? Well I was hoping for a date with you." Daniel stopped to think for a moment. While it is true he has know Nature for a few months, he never really had any of those feeling. But he has never been on a date before and she knows about him, what he is, what he can do and is likely going to be spending more time with her in the future with some training or just interaction. So in his mind he was saying to just go along with it.

"Fine." He said with his head looking at the ground and a large blush. He heard her chuckle.

"Alright then, how about we meet up in ponyville center in 2 days?" Daniel nodded and she smiled. She then vanished in a burst of flowers.

Daniel made his way to the front door and when he was inside he locked it and placed the key next to a lamp that was on a small table next to the front door. He then took a moment to think over what happened and it hit him full force.

"I just agreed to a date...with Mother Nature. I....I don't even know what to say. There is no words that could do such a situation justice."

After that was settled in his mind he made his way to Aperture and stopped at the main entrance.

"What should I make her for dinner?" He thought about it for a moment until something clicked in his mind, Daniel made a plate with chips and beans appear and then walked into Aperture. He stopped in his tracks to look around and found Annabelle where she was when he left, which was over with his kids and they were now playing with the piano he made for them. He walked over to her, still carrying the plate of food. "Hey Annabelle, I made you some dinner." She stopped what she was doing and looked at him for a few seconds before taking the plate and looked at her food, she then looked back at Daniel.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome. Now you should eat up, it's almost bed time." When he said that he heard all of his kids groan in disappointment and then heard Victoria speak.

"Does she have to?" Daniel nodded his head.

"She needs her sleep." Annabelle spoke next.

"Don't be sad, today was fun." Annabelle was sitting down on the floor and was playing with her food. After a few seconds she looked back up at Daniel. "Bro, Can we go to the shop and get things from there in a few days?"

"Annabelle, I can make you any kind of food so why would I need to-" Daniel stopped then a realization hit him. "Oh sh-." He stopped himself from saying what he was about to say. Annabelle looked at him curiously but then continued talking.

"This world might have different kinds of food that we don't know about and might be better then some back home. So can we go and get some of this world's food sometime?" Daniel knew what Annabelle wanted but his realization was plaguing his mind.

"Sure we can Annabelle, now...you eat up and meet me in the living room when you're done...I...need to deal with something." Daniel walked out of Aperture and towards the living room, he didn't notice that Annabelle and his kids were watching him curiously while he was leaving. When he got to the living room he was walking back and forth on the carpet as he was thinking about what he realized. "I haven't bought food in a long time, or at all since we arrived here. My friends could find out and that could be bad, I can't just make a large food storage and fill it with lots of food...can I?" Daniel sat down on the chair and thought on that for a moment. After a while he thought he found an answer. "Ok, so I will make a food storage in my ponyville house and tell my friends that me and my sister had to learn to ration our food in everfree. They might tell me there is no need to do that any more but it will hopefully get us out of this situation." Daniel heard the door to the side of him open and looked in that direction to see Annabelle walking out of Aperture, carrying her dinner plate which was completely clean.

"I'm finished." She said while heading to the kitchen and placed her plate in the sink, she then headed upstairs to bed but Daniel saw this and quickly called out.

"Annabelle wait." She stopped and looked at him. "Where are you going?" She looked at him, confused about his question.

"I'm going to bed." She started to walk up the stairs again but Daniel called out again. He wanted her to sleep in the pocket dimension so she could dream safely and he wouldn't have to worry about Luna, after all this time nothing has happened so he assumed Luna couldn't get into her dreams in the pocket dimension.

"I need to give that place a name." He made a mental note to do so later, for now he had to try and get her to sleep there. "Why not head back into the pocket dimension? It's safer." Annabelle stopped and looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

"What could threaten me if you're here?" Daniel knew just what to say to her question.

"I could end up hurting you unintentionally when training." She did not buy this.

"You very rarely train, and when you do it's outside. So what could you do that could hurt me unintentionally?" Daniel didn't know what to say and he stood there frozen in place. Annabelle looked at him suspiciously, she knew something was wrong. "What's wrong? What's bothering you?"

"Nothing Annabelle." Daniel tried to make it seem like everything was fine but she wasn't buying it.

"I have known you my full life Daniel, I know when something is bothering you. What's wrong?" Daniel knew he could not hide it from her and she used his real name instead of 'Bro' which usually meant she was serious, so he decided to tell her.

"It's because of Luna." Annabelle looked to the ground for a few seconds before looking back at him.

"You mean that princess that I saw at ponyville?"

"Yes. That one."

"What about her?"

"She might enter your dreams if you're not in the pocket dimension." She remained unmoving for a few moments before speaking.

"You are still trying to keep us hidden, aren't you?" He knew what she was pointing out.

"For a little while longer, Until I know for sure our friends won't freak out when they see us." She sighed and walked down the stairs, she stopped at the bottom of them and looked Daniel in the eyes.

"Promise we won't stay hidden forever." Daniel smiled and hugged her.

"I promise." Annabelle hugged him back and it was held for a few seconds before he broke it. While it was true that Daniel wasn't planning on keeping them hidden forever he did want to keep his powers hidden for longer because so far the ponies see Celestia as an unmatched goddess and he feared what they would do or how they would react if they knew what he could do. Annabelle might be left alone all the time out of fear of him because she is his sister, so he was planning to try and keep his powers hidden. "Now, will you sleep in the pocket dimension, Until we are ready to reveal ourselves?" She sighed.

"Fine, You know you might want to consider a name for it like you did with Aperture."

"Ok, but for now you just rest." Annabelle opened the door and walked into the pocket dimension then closed the door behind her. When the door closed Daniel sighed. "Now what am I going to do until morning? Sit and play twiddle my thumbs?" Daniel walked to the living room, sat down on the couch and thought about what he should do to entertain himself. "I could try and learn to control my thoughts so I can use my powers without needing to make them be used by will, but that might mean that I need to stop thinking to not use it, so that's a no go for now." Daniel looked to the door that lead to Aperture. "I think I will just go and hang out with my kids for now. Besides, I never wrote that letter to Nature. And if I didn't...who did? I don't want to just blame them but they are prime suspects." Daniel got up and headed to the door.

When he was in Aperture he saw his kids together, playing with their toys that he made for them. Daniel walked over to them and when he was close enough they looked over to him and smiled happily.

"Hi Daddy, are you here to play with us?" Daniel chuckled when he was asked that.

"Alright."

"Here." Freddy handed him a figure that was dressed in cloths that looked like they were made in Hawaii. "You can be the guard." Daniel was wondering what they were playing.

"What are you playing anyway?"

"Prison break." Daniel shrugged his shoulders and decided to play along.

Celestia groaned in annoyance as she walked towards the council, they recently called another meeting and said it was urgent, something to do with a possible threat. Celestia was unsure about what threat there could be as Nightmare Moon was no more and all trade relations were going smoothly. There also hasn't been any threat from anything outside Equestria but never the less she continued on her way and Luna was with her. She thought it would help Luna to understand more about this century if she was brought along. When they reached the doors that lead into the council Celestia stopped and turned to Luna.

"Now Luna, I want you to watch what happens and in the next meeting you can take part, if you want to."

"I will be fine Tia, I've been fine so far and I have you by my side." Celestia smiled at her and she smiled back.

"Well then, let's not keep them waiting any longer." Celestia opened the door and walked in. When she did all the councilers stopped talking and looked over to her and Luna. Celestia walked over to her seat and Luna sat down beside her. As she looked around she saw that it was not just councillors but she also saw the general of her military, a white Pegasus in improved golden guard armour called Steel Wing. "Why was this meeting called? The council was supposed to be over for today." Celestia heard a councillor called Quill speak to her when she asked that.

"Sorry Princess, but this is something that needs to be discussed." He looked to the others who all nodded at him and then he sighed. "We have discussed it over and have come to the conclusion that Equestia might be in danger."

"What reasons do you have for thinking such a thing? Everything I have looked over shows that there is no threats." Quill pulled out something from a saddlebag that he had on his back and when Luna saw it her eyes widened. It was the Daring Doo book that she read and showed Celestia a few days ago.

"I am aware that Daring Doo might be for entertainment but I also know that she is a real pony and her books are based on real events in her life, this one in particular got us talking when I showed the rest of the council." Celestia looked at the book and sighed.

"I have read it too. What could possible be considered a threat?" Quill looked a little bit annoyed at her words.

"I think you should know, that flying pink cat creature. Celestia, what is mentioned about it in this book shows that it's very dangerous." Celestia was aware he might have said that and knew what to say in return.

"Am I not dangerous because of what I can do? Yes I am, but I am not a threat because you all know me, and yet you are judging this innocent creature based on what it can do and not what it will do?" This got Quill to be silent for a few minutes but then he said something else.

"It's not just that creature, We got a report about another creature called 'The Shadow' that fought two ursas at ponyville, both a baby and a adult and it barely got any injuries. Princess, in the past few months there have been creatures appearing that are almost or might be just as powerful as you alone, what if there are more of them?" This was what Celestia hated about the council the most, always thinking that anything new could be a threat before even getting to know it but she kept her cool.

"The Shadow protected ponyville from the ursas and fought Nightmare Moon, it seems to appear where danger is and deals with it. If it was a threat to us do you not think it would have done something to us already?" The councillors were chatting amounts themselves ,some surprised that the Shadow actually had a fight with Nightmare Moon and Celestia sat with a smile on her face, she knew that they had to accept the truth but when she looked at Luna she saw that she was biting her lower lip and her eyes were looking away. "Luna, what's wrong." Luna looked back at Celestia.

"Oh nothing, just thinking about...how I will manage all of this by myself." She said but Celestia did not look convinced

"Luna do you know something about the Shadow that I don't? Don't be afraid to-" She was cut off by Steel Wing.

"Princess." All of the councillors stopped chatting and looked at Steel Wing. "While I agree with you that these creatures might not mean to threaten us, we still have to consider a plan encase they do."

"While I don't think that will be needed, but if it will make you feel safer then fine, What would you consider?" The councillors were silently watching the two of them talk.

"I would have considered capturing them and letting the eggheads study them but after learning about what they both can do, or we could observe them and learn about them. We could likely find a weakness of some sort to use if they are a threat and we would not have to disturb them." Celestia saw no harm with this plan but there was something she had to consider.

"Very well, but if you do find a weakness and exploit it to do anything hurtful to them then you will be put on trial and your rank will likely be removed. Understand?" Celestia narrowed her eyebrows as she said this.

"Yes, Princess. They will not be harmed if they are not hostile." Luna spoke next which surprised Celestia.

"What would you do if the shadow or the flying cat see you observing them."

"Well, so far the cat creature has been reported to be very friendly so we will try to get to know it through interaction, the same will be for the shadow as it still hasn't hurt anypony who is innocent." Celestia smiled, not just at Luna but also at the council. They all seemed to be in agreement but Quill spoke next.

"Princess, Steel, There is still something to consider. Both of these creatures so far have been seen in or around the everfree. We can't just send ponies into that forest." Steel Wing was silent for a few moments before he spoke again.

"Then what would you consider doing?" Steel almost shouted.

"How about we tell Equestria about them but, leave out the part about what they can do, announce a bounty for anypony who has information based on any sightings they have had of them?" Celestia thought about it for a moment and she was a little hesitant to agree because if word got out then who knows what kind of ponies might try to hunt them and Celestia did not want that. She thought for a moment and knew what to say.

"Announcing them to the world won't be needed. The Elements of harmony have already seen them, they had interacted with the pink cat creature for a while and they have run across the Shadow twice. It might be a good idea to inform the guards of them but they must swear to not mention them to anypony else or talk about them outside in public. If we do then who know who could go after them and they might end up attacking us because of the stupidity of a few." Steel Wing put a hoof on his chin and stayed quite for a few moments.

"That sounds reasonable, but how will we be able to get any information about them if so few know about them and will the elements be told of this?"

"The element bearers will be told about this and If there is a sighting then we will send scouts to that area to check it, if they find one of them then we can observe it." Quill was the next one to speak.

"Should we try and bring it back if we meet it?"

"Only if it comes with us, we will not force it. Does the council agree?" Celestia heard chatter amongst the council when she asked that. She then turned to Luna who was listening to the councillors chat. She decided to continue with her question from before but ask it in a different way. "Luna, do you know one of those creatures personally?" Luna was shocked when Celestia asked her that, she was not expecting it.

"No I don't, why would you think that I do?"

"You looked a little worried earlier when they were mentioned." Luna didn't know what she should do, on one hand she could tell Celestia what she knew but she was worried what would happed if she did and on the other she could keep it a secret. She thought if Daniel was one or both of these creatures then if she kept what she knew about him a secret then it would be easier to get on his nice side because of their last encounter.

"I am just worried about what they can do." Luna decided to keep it a secret and not tell Celestia.

"Don't worry, as I have already said, if they have that kind of power and have done nothing to us after all this time then they're likely peaceful unless provoked." The council was quiet and that caught Celestia's attention.

"We have come to an agreement princess. We have agreed to go along with your plan." Celestia smiled when she heard this.

"Thank you. Now, it's getting late so let's end this and inform the guards tomorrow." The council departed and so did both Luna and Celestia. Luna was walking to her bedroom and when she arrived there she took off her royal gear and headed for her bed, but stopped when she saw her Moon over the everfree in the distance and when she saw this her mind wondered to Daniel.

If he can just change into something like the Shadow then the everfree would be a good hiding place for him. It's quite dark, even during the day time. But if he is also that flying pink cat then that means he can change into almost anything, perhaps even anything, which means he and his sister could be anywhere. If he and his sister are hiding within pony society then that means any big brothers with little sisters could be him." Luna looked over to her bed and decided to go to sleep, in the morning she would write down what she knows and try to pinpoint a possible suspect, so she got into her bed and entered the dreamscape.

It was now morning according to the time on Daniel's phone, he was planning to go out and buy a few things from stores around ponyville and get different things for his sister to try. He knew his first stop should be sugar cube corner. The place was filled with sweets which is something he and Annabelle liked very much, and then he would go around ponyville and look at all the different shops and see what they were selling but he would mostly be going to food stores only.

He had played games with his kids for just about the full night and he learned never to trust Victoria when playing anything that involved action figures or dolls as she would often stay quiet and mentioned about how she couldn't win alone and laugh at him after she did or she sometimes just downright betrayed him by saying 'It was him' so Daniel had a hard time trusting her when it came to games. He put down the action figures and stood up, all of his kids looking at him.

"Well it was fun, but I have things to do today. I will see you all later." He started to walk away from them and he then heard them all speak at the same time.

"Bye Daddy." Daniel made his way out of Aperture and headed to check on Annabelle only to find her still fast asleep on the tree bed. He then changed into his pony form and put the tattoos over his marks before heading to his ponyville house and out of it's basement. He was now standing in his Ponyville house's living room and he was heading to the door but what caught his attention was this house. It was very dusty so he changed his powers to thought and then thought about it being clean and shortly after he saw that all the dust was gone and he made a bag pack appear at his side and filled it with bits that he thought up of, with that done he switched his power usage back to be used if he willed it.

"It's best I do that, who knows when I might get a visitor." Daniel opened the door and stepped out into ponyville. "Ok, first place, sugar cube corner." Daniel headed off to sugar Cube corner but after a few seconds of walking he heard a voice behind him.

"Hey, Cosmos." He turned around to see Ditzy flying towards him carrying a letter so he stopped and waited. When Ditzy reached him she landed in from of him and handed him the letter. "Here Cosmos, You have a letter." Daniel took it and what caught his attention was that the letter had the royal insignia on it that he has seen on Twilight's letters before.

"Thank you Ditzy." She smiled at him.

"No problem." She then flew off to finish delivering her other letters, Daniel looked at the letter he had and opened it up and started to read it.

Dear Cosmos

I would like to inform you that yesterday I had a meeting with the council about the two new creatures that have recently appeared, The flying pink cat creature and the Shadow. It was agreed that we need to do something if they are a threat but it was also stated that they should be left alone if they aren't hostile. We would like you to report all sightings about either of them to me or a royal guard and if you interact with one of them then I would appreciate it if you could report anything you have learned.

This is to observe them as to see if there is anything we could use against them if they are a threat but if you see either of them getting attacked or abused by a group of ponies or just a single one then I would like you to report it and they will be dealt with. I would appreciate if you don't talk about those creatures and what they are capable of in public as I don't wish for anypony to go out and hunt them or try to capture them for experiments. You may discuss about them when you are alone and nopony is close by. I have sent letters about this to each of your other friends too.

Signed: Princess Celestia.

Daniel did not know what to make of this but what got him thinking was how the council learned about his Mew form as he has never shown it in public before but then a realisation hit him. It must have been the Daring Doo book as that's the only public thing that mentions him and he was surprised that the council took it seriously. He was feeling a little more calm from the fact that they were not out to hurt him or his sister but he still felt like now was not the time to reveal them.

"At least I know they're not trying to actually hunt me or Annabelle. Still, I should be more carful for a little while more. First I will reveal us, then I will reveal Apeature if they are fine with me and Annabelle being living myths and if they are fine with Aperture then I will tell them about what I can do." Daniel remembered what he was doing and folded up the letter then headed back home, when he was back he slid the letter under the door and started to walk to sugar cube corner again. He didn't put in in his bag as it was already full of bits.

When he arrived at sugar cube corner he entered the gingerbread house through the front door and when he did he smelt something baking but it smelt like it was burned so he called out to Pinkie.

"Hey Pinkie, You there?" He was surprised when Pinkie talked from behind him.

"Hi Cosmos." Daniel turned around and was about to ask what was burning but stopped when he saw that pinkie's neck was stretched to a impossible length.

"Um, Pinkie, How are you doing that?" He pointed to her neck and when he did that her head looked at her neck and then her body seemed to get pulled by her neck and she zoomed passed Daniel, crashing into a wall. She quickly got up and rushed up into Daniel's face.

"Doing what?" She said with a smile and Daniel let it drop.

"Never mind, What is that burning smell?"

"Oh, Applebloom was over and helped me bake, she is quite a good baker." She held out what looked like burned dirt. "Want to try some." He moved his head back when he saw it.

"No thanks."

"Ok then, More for me." She consumed whatever she was holding in one bite which made Daniel almost puke.

"Anyway, I am here to get some sweets for Strawberry. So what's the best things you've got?" Pinkie jumped at hearing this.

"How about a triple chocolate cookie, a blueberry muffin and a strawberry cake." Daniel could have just ordered one of everything but it would likely have Pinkie Pie asking where he got all of his bits and he didn't know what to say to that.

"Alright. If you think that's the best you got on the menu."

"Okie dokie." She packed up the things he asked for in bag and handed them to him. "That will be 23 bits." Daniel put his hoof in his bag and got 23 bit and handed them to Pinkie Pie.

"Here you go." Pinkie took them and looked at him with a smile.

"I hope we get to see her soon, I miss her. But for the first few weeks I knew her, like that time where she was left with Spike when Nightmare moon was back. I noticed her smiles were a forced smile and not a genuine one. But it's not my place to ask. I just want to see her again, she is part of our group."

"I am sure she will be out and about more soon enough." Daniel said bye to Pinkie and walked out of the ginger bread house and looked around for any more sweet shops. He was near a place called quills and sofas, a carrot stand and someone selling cabbages. Daniel walked over to the carrot stand where he met a mare with orange hair and a orange tail and her coat was a pale gold colour and her mark was 3 carrots.

"Hello sir, would you like to buy some carrots?" She asked.

"Yes, how much for 2?"

"Four bits." Daniel reached into his bag and handed her four bits and she handed him the carrots. "Thank you."

"Your welcome." Daniel walked around some more but found there was very little places that sold food besides sugar cube corner so he spend the next while wondering around, looking for places that sell different kinds of food.

As King N was waiting on the remaining scout reports he was going over the current reports he had already received. So far they have scanned 4 universes and a total of 7178 planets use magic which means the heart bearer could be on any of those planets. He wanted to conquer all of those planets but he knew that dealing with the heart bearer was his primary task so he ordered his scientist to scan the kind of magic it was and try to pinpoint it's source. So far there had been 23 planets out of the thousands that have the same kind of magic on them and one of the scouts that was sent to one of those planets did not report back so he was now on his way with his army to deal with that planet. He heard the door open and a guard walked in and up to him.

"Sir, You have a visitor." The guard said to him and he turned to him.

"You approach me to tell me that someone wants a audience with me?" The guard gulped when he heard the tone of his voice.

"Forgive me, but this is no peasant who wishes to speak with you. It's your son." King N froze at hearing this and then sighed.

"What does he want now?" The guard was about to speak but King N spoke again. "Send him in." The guard walked away and out of the door, a few seconds later a yellow reptile chameleon like creature with blue armour entered the room and approached King N. "Bravacho, What do you want now?" His son looked at him angrily.

"Father, I have read the scout reports and I heard what your order was, why must you keep destroying worlds full of innocent creatures?"

"Because they are below us, They are not capable of what we are so they were born to serve us or die. Also how did you get those reports?" King N was now looking at his son angrily.

"I am your son, I can get access to anything you can." King N narrowed his eyes.

"Oh yeah, well I-" He was interrupted by one of the troops at one of the computers.

"Sir, we have made contact with the planets leader, he refuses to surrender to us." King N looked at the planet that was out of the window and then back at his son.

"Watch this son. Open the Ion Cannon." Bravacho gasped and tried to reach the controls. "Guards, seize him." Two guards grabbed and held Bravacho.

"Father, Don't." King N just laughed.

"Ion Cannon Ready Sir."

"Fire." A large boom was heard as Bavacho looked out the window he saw a blue beam shoot to the planet in the distance, when the beam stopped the planet shined a bright yellow before it exploded. Bravacho stood there looking out of the window at the planet that was now nothing but rocks floating in space, shocked to see his father just outright killing an entire world. He had heard that he had destroyed a few before but he usually conquered them and forced the residence to serve him or force them into his own military. But now he had just witnessed with his own eyes, the death of a innocent world, and by the hands of his own father. "You see son, those who refuse to serve their superiors must be taught a lesson." The guards now released Bravacho.

"No father, a lesson is a chance to learn and do what is right next time. What you did was xenocide, What would mother say about you if she could see you now?" King N glared at his son angrily and then hit him with the palm of his hand, too quickly for Bravacho to react which sent him back and hit off of the wall behind him.

"Don't you EVER mention her! She was a weakling! Now get out of here before I lose my patience!" Bravacho picked himself up and walked out of the door.

As Bravacho left the room some purple smoke came off of King Ns back and an eye appeared for a moment before disappearing back into his body.

"That Nacrams bononit! I never thought he would do that." He said as he walked down the hall and he took a right to head to his room. While he was lost in his anger he accidently hit something which caused both of them to stubble and fall to the ground.

"I am so- Oh your majesty, I-I..." As Bravacho picked himself up he soon saw that he hit. It was one of the creatures from a planet that was recently conquered by his father, the creature was about 7 foot tall, stood on two legs, had four arms and at the head there was a single giant eye with a mouth slightly under it, it's skin was green and covered in sticky hairs almost like a spider was. As Bravacho looked at it's arms he saw they were in electrical shackles and there was a guard at the side that had the blunt end of his weapon raised at the creature.

"You will not speak to the prince unless spoken to!" The guard was about to hit the creature with his weapon until Bravacho grabbed it on it's way down.

"Do not treat anyone that way in my presence. Understand?"

"Bu-but your father, he said-" Bravacho grew more angry at the mention of his fathers name, gripping the weapon tighter and causing it to snap.

"I AM NOTHING LIKE HIM!!!" He shouted at the guard to which he quickly nodded and Bravacho then let go of the destroyed weapon. Bravacho then turned back to the creature. "No need to apologize, it was both of our faults." With that he continued walking to his quarters, as he did he saw more races that suffered the same fate as the creature that he had seen before. When he was young his father would say that they were prisoners and that them doing all the work that they do was to serve for their crimes but in recent years he had been out and about more and discovered what his father was truly doing and has both tried and failed to convince him to stop.

As he arrived at his room he hit the switch and the door opened and he entered. He walked over to his bed and laid down on it. He placed his hand on his face where he was slapped by his father. "He doesn't care about me. He cares for nothing." He said as he started to cry, he thought back to all of the things that his mother told him when he was young, all the stories she would read to him about noble knights, war heroes and all other kinds. When he was young he wanted to rule with niceness, but ever since his mother passed away he has lost almost all hope in himself, as he looked over to the side of his bed he saw a picture of him and his mother smiling happily at his first time at school. "What can I do? I might know combat and have some powers but I am not even half as powerful as he is, I am only second rate, How can I stop him from continuing this? What can I do?"

As he started to think on what he could do, his mind came back to the same point that he can't seem to remember. One day his father suddenly became bad. It was like a section in his life was...gone. While there was others that claimed to have talked with him during the time gap in his mind, even they admitted they couldn't remember what they talked about.

As he tried to remember what happened in that time zone with no success, he heard a knock on the door. "It's open." The door opened and he saw a guard enter.

"Your majesty, Your fiancé is here and wishes to see you."

"Sure, send her in."

"Also, there is a letter for you." The guard pulled out a chip and handed it to Bravacho who took it.

"Thank you." The guard bowed before leaving. Bravacho pressed the button that was on the chip which cause it to open up and he read what was on the holographic screen and to his surprise the message was not that long.

To Your Majesty Prince Bravacho

We have recently acquired knowledge that you are unhappy with how your father rules so we would like to invite you to join us in the revolution to end his wrong doings. If you wish to meet up with us to discuss things then meet us at Brenchwood town on your home planet Coulos.

We already have over 9000 members and we grow stronger each passing day, in a few days we will be ready to make our move and end this madness. It would be a great honour if you would join us and I would like to meet you again after so long.

Signed: Flong Menga.

(Continue from here)

Bravacho jumped at the mention of that name, Flong was his best friend when he was growing up but he hadn't seen him since he had left his home planet which was 3 years ago and now he gets a letter that is telling him that his best friend is leading a revolution against his father.

"Do those fools even know what my father is capable of? Even I can't half beat him. I need to tell them before they do anything stupid." As he finished saying that he heard his door open and saw his fiancé standing there.

"Hey honey, How are things?" He smiled when he saw her. She was just like him but a Rosie red colour instead of yellow.

"Things could be better. How about you?"

"Things are going well, I had a wonderful time with my friends yesterday."

"That's great to hear." Bravacho was having a hard time paying attention as the contents of the message were still burning in his mind and he knew he needed to act quickly if he wanted to stop his friend from doing anything stupid, but he couldn't just leave his fiancé here. "Hey Dravia, listen. There is something I need to do and I was wondering if you would like to join me?"

"What do you need to do?"

"I have to go back to our home planet, one of my childhood friends is about to do something very stupid and I need to stop him before he goes to far." She looked concerned when he mentioned this.

"What are they going to do?"

"They are going to attack my father but they don't know what he is capable of, he mostly makes his troops do the work."

"So what are you going to do?"

"I will go and have a talk with them, See if I can get them to stand down."

"Ok, I'll come with you." Bravacho got up from his bed and walked to the door where she was.

"They want to lead a revolution against my father because of what he has done and is still doing. I'm going back to the palace back home, hopefully I can get them to stand down."

"How are we going to get off of this ship?" Bravacho turned to look at her.

"We will use an escape pod, I will set the coordinates." He got the small chip and place it in a pocket that his armour had and he then held out his hand to Dravia. "Shall we get going my lady?" She took his hand.

"Certainly, my prince." They both walked out of his room and walked down the hall, along the way the more he saw what fate had befallen the species around the ship that was not his own and he felt like their blood was also on his hands but when his fiancé Dravia saw his sadness she held him closely. They continued walking until they arrived at an escape pod and Bravacho opened it and looked at Dravia before moving to the side.

"Lady's first." Dravia smiled and walked into the pod, Bravacho sealed the door after he entered and headed to the controls. "I can't wait until this is all over and we're married."

"You have the invites ready?"

"They are ready to be sent out when this madness is over."

"What if you can't find anything in the palace that will help?" He froze for a moment.

"We will still get married, but I will do what I can to get my father to see differently." She giggled.

"That's what I love about you, You always try your best and never give up even if it looks hopeless." He had finished putting in the coordinates and he now took his seat at the other side of Dravia and pressed the launch button.

Back on the bridge of the ship a small alarm was heard which caught the attention of King N.

"What is it?"

"Sir, an escape pot has been launched." One of the servants at one of the computers said.

"Residence?"

"Your son and his fiancé. According to the bio-scan." Another servant spoke at the other side of the room.

"Sir, another planet with a magical signature that matched that scan has been found. Should we send a scout?"

"Yes. Do it." Another servant spoke.

"Sir, incoming transmission. It's from your home planet."

"On Screen." The screen changed and showed one of King N's troops. "What reason do you have for calling me?"

"Sir, your palace is under attack." King N jumped out of his seat.

"WHAT!?"

"We don't know much but there's a lot of them. They keep saying 'Revolution' and they have smashed through our front lines. What are your orders sir?"

"Defend the palace. Do not let them into my private section, guard that with your life."

"Yes Si-" The troop was shot before he could finish.

"REVOLUTION!" Another troop in different armor moved into view and looked at the camera for a moment before smashing it and the signal was lost. All of the servants and guards looked to King N who was now growling angrily.

"Set a course for our home planet."

"Yes sir." They all said.

Author's Notes:

I made it so Daniel's kids need to feed every now and then but it rarely needs to happen. If I mentioned before in a previous chapter that they don't need to feed please let me know so I can change it.

Please remember something...Bravacho and the others are aliens...so if they say something that you don't understand it's their insults and/or language.
