Xaveroth was sitting on his throne. Watching how Daniel achieved his victory over the Consumer. He chuckled at seeing how thrilled he was but that only made him all the more happy to when Daniel would eventually fight him. He would break him and then kill him.

"Such a funny thing. The victories of the lower dimenstions." He said chuckling as he had plans to take on all the dimenstions. Even the 25th one.

"Yes...good. Everything is moving into place." Xaveroth chuckled while rubbing his hands together on his throne. He would only need to dirty his hands 2 more times at max before his goal was complete. Archie remained unmoving. He was broken both physically and emotionally. Just being close to Xaveroth made him shiver and he felt his power drain. "What's wrong? The hero has nothing to say? You know why? Cause this isn't a comic book or some cartoon show. Good doesn't always win." With a laugh, Xaveroth threw him to the ground. "But i think i know how you can be useful. I want you to bring Miss Nature here." He said with a chuckle.

"N-no." Archie said weakly.

"Did i say something that upset you?" Xaveroth grabbed Archie by the neck and he started to slowly turn grey. "Bring me Miss Nature." Archie then leaves to go and get Nature.

"What now my king?" A guard asked.

"I need you to look for something. A special item." Xaveroth made an image of it appear. It looked like a necklace with a large purple shaped jewel in the front of it which seemed to swirl around with black water covering some of it, but not all. There was a ring around it which had 3 smaller circles. Each one another colour. Red. Green and white.

"Find me this. I need it for my plans."

"Where will we start looking?" Xaveroth opened a portal and as he did, the guards stepped back in terror. "Sir. That's the 25th dimention. There is no way we can win through force there."

"What did i command?"

"To find that necklace?"

"Yes. Now do it." He walked up behind them and blased them through the portal before closing it.

Bravacho and Darvia were celebrating the victory the heart bearer had. Now all that was left was for King N to be defeated. But he wanted to ask the heart bearer to spare him. Not kill him if possible.

"You know he has a huge hatred for your father."

"I know. But i want to know what's wrong. I refuse to belive that he is now a tyrant. He was never like that before." Putting a hand on his shoulder, she tried to comfort him.

"You can try, and it might work. But sometimes, people change for the worst. I will still be here to support you the whle way through." Smiling, he nuzzled her

"Thanks love."

"Now. You should be better tomorrow. You look fully healed and soon you can held Daniel defend this planet." There was a knock at the door. This caught their attention as nobody besides the cross eyed mail pony had chapped at their door before and it was only 1 times with a letter containing proof they purchased the house.

"I'll get it. I am healthy enough to do that." Bravacho answered the door and he was caught off guard as a hoodied figure stood at the door.

"Hello. Are you...Bravacho?" This caught him off guard as nobody on this planet besides the heart bearer and his soon to be wife knew his real name.

"Y-yes. I am. Who are you?" She smiled under her hood. It was a genuine smile, not one of mischive.

"I'm someone who wan't to help." She gritted her teeth as she gasped. Holding her chest and breathing heavily.

"Are you alright?" He asked as he tried to help her but she pushed him away.

"Don't worry about that." One thing that he saw which was strange was that she had a golden aura around her. It was small but reconizable. "I need you to listen to me. I know about the heart bearer and i know what's on the way. I don't know how it will end as i haven't seen that far. But i want to give you a fighting chance. Take this." She handed him a small crystal necklace which also had a golden arua around it. When she handed him it, something strange happened. She looked at her...hand. Not hoof and saw the golden aura. "It...worked." She looked like she was almost going to cry out of happieness.

"What...is this? Who are you?" He asked her as she turned around. Her cloak flowing in the wind.

"Who i am is...not that important to you. But please. Don't tell Daniel i was here. As for that crystal. Give it to Daniel. Tell him it's a gift from a stranger and say nothing else. I know you don't have a reason to trust me. But i am trying to help you. I know what's wrong with your father."

"You do? What's wrong with him?" She turned and smiled.

"You will know soon and you will stand with my so...Daniel against the one responsible." She turned around and walked off. When she was out of earshot she teleported back to her time at the entity hangout.

"It worked. It really worked. I can command the heart to do things at a certain date. I just hope it did what i wanted it to do. If not...i fear for Bravacho's life." She said as she chenched her chest once more. "I need to leave my last message for Daniel. My last. More than likely that Daniel Bravcho knew already got my last message." She gazed through time and the furthest she could see was Daniel standing infront of Xaveroth in the 5th dimentsion. After that ,it was just nothing. That would be the last time she could do something to help Daniel. From now on he was on his own.

Back at the hangout in real time the heart that is in the labratory underground let's out a pulse. Flashing for a few moments and shifting in colours before it returns to normal.

"It just moved. It's never done that before." One of the scientist said as he rushed to inform the head of reaserch.

"Sir. The heart just let out a pulse! Something seems to be happening!" The heard of reaserch dropped his notes and ran with the rest down to the lab below.

Nature was up on the main level and heard what sounded like panic on the lower levels. Heading down, she was met with a load of different looking entities all running one way. Seeing the head of reaserch, she pulled him aside and asked what was happening.

"What's the rush? Seriously. I have never seen you all this hyped over something."

"The heart just acted up. Something's happening." Nature's eyes widened and followed them to the main room of the lab, but was met with disappointment when she saw the heart was still the same as ever. Looking at him with a raised eyebrow, he put his hands up in surrended.

"Well?" Looking over to the others, he frantically asked what it was to get answers

"Can you all detect what happened? Anything?" He asked the others who were working on machines and a few psychics who were putting up scanning fields.

"Sorry sir but no. All we know is it put out some kind of energy. A kind we haven't seen before so we can't trace it." He slammed the table, almost breaking it and scattering his notes across the floor.

"When you have found something. You tell me right away." Nature felt a presence that she only felt a few times in her life but one she knew too well. It was Archie's aura and he was imiting it cause he probably needed her help. She smiled as she realised he was back.

Teleporting to her room, she looked around to see Archie standing in the middle of it but there was nobody else around.

"Archie? What did you need help with?" Archie just looked at her blankly before he spoke in a monotoned voice.

"You will come with me." She was taken aback hearing this.

"What?" He strepped forwards. His eyes a milky white.

"You will come with me. Don't make me ask again." He grabbed her and teleported back to his home. Nature struggled to get out his grip but she was easily pulled into the 5th Dimenstion.

"Archie! Why did you..." When she saw his eyes. she realised somethign was wrong. "Archie. Snap out of it. This isn't like you. Even at your worst." She heard laughing from her side and turned to see something she had a hard time making out. Something purple. Someone purple.

"Welcome Nature. To the palace." She stood up and looked at the figure sitting on the throne and as she looked to the side she saw the previous queen, bowing down and shivering in fear.

"Who are you?" The figure finished drinking a glass of grey liquid and threw it through a window and into an outside gress garden, only for it to sprout to life when the glass hit it.

"Me? I am Xaveroth. You might have heard of me." That name struck her. She had certainly heard it before.

"Xaveroth...Wait...didn't Daniel say something about you?" Xaveroth spawned a bell and rang it.

"Ding ding. Correct." Looking around she saw all the others who were bowing down to him. She could see in their expressions that they didnt want to but they were doing so out of great fear.

Looking back at Xaveroth, Nature too felt fear inside her. She knew this was a powerful figure from the aura alone.

"So what do you want with me?" She asked cautiously.

"Simple. You will no longer train Daniel and you will stay here."

"And i will agree to that...why?" She was amazed to see this creature woudl even think that she would do such a thing.

"Because if you don't...i will just destroy you right now. How about that?" Nature took a battle stance.

"As if i would agree to that." She got ready for Xaveroth to make an attack but to her shock he raised his finger and a blue fire appeared on the tip and slowly made its way towards her. She tried to move but found herself stuck inside some kind of field that held her perfectly in place as the fire hit her in the chest.

Screamed of pure pain were heard through the walls of the palace and Nature was burned harshly. After a few moments of this, she felt down. She looked like a human with 3rd degree burns all over their body but still alive. Some even with 4th degree burns. She struggled to stand up. One of her eyes almost melted shut. It would take her a long time to recover. Months even but she would be able to look like her old self if she just managed to get away. But she didn't know how.

"You madr your choice. Another blue fire appeared on his fingertip and he fired it towards her as it suddenly changed colour but Nature didn't see that as she closed her one eye, bracing for the end.

As the fire hit her, she was knocked back into a portal which opened up behind her. Knocking her back to the enitiy hangout and onto her bed in her bedroom.

"Now to put a fake memory in her." Xaveroth crated a scenario in her mind where she faught a strong creature of interdimentional horror over a red giant star. She won but used a lot of energy and the thing got a last moment lucky full powered hit. After that was done he place something onto her that would let him use her for a future operation he had.

The portal was then sealed and Archie was let out of the mind control he was put under. Falling to his knees he started crying, not believing he done that to one of his best friends. Xaveroth just chuckled when he saw the mighty Archie was now broken.

As Nature woke up she groaned in pain. Her whole body felt like it was on fire and even just moving required a great deal of strength. She caughed as she looked around with her one uninjured eye and slowly stood up. Taking one single step she almost fell over. Slowly limping towards the door. She felt weak, like her limbs would snap with the slighest force and she didn't feel like she had the power to teleport.

Stepping onto the first stair she tried to go down but within just 3 steps, she tripped and fell down the whole flight of stairs and down to the bottom. She was in really bad shape as falling down the stairs alone hurt her. Nature tried to pick herself up but it took 3 tries to do so before she even had a balence to walk. She kept on limping slowly to the main level of the entity hangout as she needed to healer to look her over.

"That horror got me. If i didn't injure it. I might have died." She spoke to herself. Her voice low and raspy. Looking down at her leg, she was almost sick when she saw it was burned down to the bone at one area and green blisters had already formed. Her leg starting to make a green slime to cover her injured area. Some parts of her she could still feel but as she put her burnt hand on the ground she couldnt feels anything in 2 of her 5 claws.

She had yet to see herself in a mirror and she didn't know if she even wanted to. Opening the door to the main level she was saw by one entity and a scream was let out before all of them turned to face her.

"Mother Nature!?" She took 2 steps into the room before she collapsed.

"Healer! We need a healer!" One shouted as Nature's vision started to go dark.

"Come on. I wanna battle." Annabelle was up and looked ready to fight. Daniel just chuckled as he sat down with Twilight and the rest. Both were in their human forms as the news about what happened to the Consumer reached all of Equestria and Daniel saw no point in hiding anymore. He did get a few looks from ponies as they have never seen a human before but he didn't get anything bad thrown his way. If that was because they were friendly or too scared when they heard what he did, that was perhaps up for debate.

"It feels nice not to hide anymore." Annabelle tried to throw a punch but he just blocked it with ease. Grinning, he looked back at her. "Gotta do better than that." For the most part, things were the same as they normally were. Alpha and his kids were making up battle plans for when King N appeared and Daniel would make sure to involve every last one of his robots to defend Equestria. So far also not many pony doctors, reaserchers or any the like had requested to see him but this was likely only because he was revealed to Equestria and the neighbouring nations recently.

"So you're home didn't come back?" Twilight asked

"No. It seems it was put into storage or something."

"What will you do if you do restore your home. You wont just leave...will you?" That question caught him off guard. Equestria was much more like a home than when he first arrived. Not to mention if he headed back home he was still wanted for what he could do and this world was full of other scentiant life. That was a question he needed to think on as he could only dread the worst and hope for the best if both Earth and Equestria met.

But most of all, like what he had to deal with, he dreaded the whole 'In the name of science' crap that some of perhaps both species would likely use to further their own reaserch.

"So what's hanging out with the Entities like?"

"It's a load of fun. Some of the planets i have been to...oh...lovely." She looked a little envyious of him.

"So you like it?"

"More like love it." He said smiling.

"Yeah. Especially with your girlfriend." Daniel blushed and all the other girls giggled at his blush.

"Oh hush you pest or you will never hear the end of it from me when you get a boyfriend." He looked at her with a grin as he said that. Daniel saw the CMC at a distance but instead of the normal 3 of them, there was a 4th.

"Oh. That's bab seed. She came over for a visit."

Before Daniel could speak, all of them almost jumped out of their skin as a portal opened and Blade appeared out of it.

"Daniel! You're needed!" He stood up.

"What's wrong?"

"It's Nature. She's...well...it's best you see for yourself." Looking at his friends he was saddened he had to leave so suddenly.

"Sorry girls. I will be back later." He followed Blade into the portal and soon found himself on the main level of the hangout. Blade pointed over to where a large crowd of the entites were gathered and Daniel went over. What he saw almost broke his heart. Nature was burnt to a crisp. Her green grassy hair was almost all burnt off. All the flowers she use to have were gone and was almost as black as tar with the occasional white bone seen through her burned holes and green blisters on multiple points around her body. Some parts were even covered in a green slime which was trying to heal her.

Kneeling down beside her, he put a hand to her neck and was happy to feels she was breathing, even if it was weak. But as his hand first touched her neck he felt how hot she was some burnt blusters even fell off. Causing her wince.

"Who...did this?" Daniel felt his worry suddenly replace with rage. All the other entities around saw his aura turned black and became almost like fire. "WHO DID THIS?!" Daniel felt the anger leave him when he felt a hand on his neck. Looking down he saw Nature looking up at him with one eye open.

"Don't lose your cool." Her voice was weak but still hearable.

"Nature. What happened?"

"Don't worry about this. I will heal from it and be as good as new in about a month. It was an interndimentional horror. A monster born in the void. I destroyed it but i let my guard down and it got a luck shot." The one eyes she was looking at him with was showing visable signs of injury as the whites of it were red she looke like she was straining herself just to keep it open. Daniel looked at his hand and saw it was a mixture of green and black. Burnt wood mixed with her green blood.

"Can i do anything to help?" He asked as he held her.

"I just need to sleep and rest." Blade stepped forwards to let Daniel know how long it was till she was back to normal.

"You will look like new in a month, but your powers will take longer to be restored to full. I give you about 2 and a half. 3 months max till you are back to normal."

"But for now on, you and Wisp-o need to train Daniel. Oh and Blade..."

"Yes?" Blade got a telepathic message from her.

"Don't push Daniel too far. If he enters his total merge form. There is nothing i can really do. You will need to find a way to calm him down and not allow him to get too angry." He nodded to her and with a smile. She closed her eye. Another Entity that looked like a pink slime the size of a car asked Daniel to let her take Nature to he care ward. Daniel handed her over but followed her until she was laying in a bed with ice around her to try and help with both her burns and her temperture.

"You really care about her, almost to the point a man would for a wife." Daniel looked like he was about to say something to shoot back at him but he stopped.

"Yeah. I do. She showed me things i never thought i would like. Parts about myself i never expected. I was almost more of an inwards person and i though i would be happier like that. Turns out saying in all day wasn't was made me happy." Blade then saw Daniel's eyes flash for a moment which caught his attention.

"Daniel?"

"I also didn't like fighting. Even play fighting but with the way she trains me i am enjoying it much more than i though. I guess i do like it." Daniel's eyes flashed again and Blade knew it was no accident. As he was about to ask about it once more. He remembered what Nature told him about Daniel's mother.

Years Ago

"I thought she was strong enough to beat the King for good." He slams his fist onto the table.

"He survived and she's gone. We need to keep out eyes open for another heart bearer. It's the best thing we can do." Blade took a sip of his drink before he asked Nature something that had been nagging him.

"Why didn't she just enter her total merged form?"

"Well i don't fully know but from what she told me from her reaserch and what went on buring the fight. She couldn't. From what she told me the more a heart bearer knows him or her self the stronger they are. It's all to do with synch. If the bearer knows what they like and arn't conflicted then there is less in the way of them accessing the hearts power. It's a strange concept but the heart knows its host and can take over anytime but for the host to access the hearts power. They need to know themselves."

"But what stopped her?"

"Her her son. She didn't know if she wanted to keep doing this work as a job and have a family or is she should quit and enjoy a family. I guess she found out after the fight. It wasn't just her son. She was trying to find more time for her husband but the work kept getting in the way. It was a lot of life and family matters that plagued her mind. Her mind was clouded to the point she didn't know herself or what she truely wanted."

"So it's all about clearity. A host is stronger the clearer their mind is?"

"In a scense, yes. You already know how emotions and confidence play a part in their power. Clearity is also one. I could tell when she learn more about herself and her mind became more clear because her eyes would flash."

Present time

Blade smiled when he saw this happen to Daniel. A way to help Daniel become stronger would perhaps be to mentally train him. He already has a lot of physically training from his scessions with Nature so metal training might be just what he needs at this moment, and it would be a lot safer for Blade and the others as he is less likely to enter his total merged form.

"What?" Daniel saw he was staring at him.

"Nothing. I will train you tomorrow. It will be a different kind of taining to your usual one." Daniel looked back at Nature who was asleep at this point and some of the green slime was covering parts of her body. She had someone attending her, removing the dead and burn bits of wood and skin from her.

It took Daniel appart to see Nature like that but he was still hopeful she would make a full recovery. Sighing, he knew she wouldn't be back to full by the time King N arrived in Equestria and that was more than a little scary to him. He knew he needed to start trusting in himself more often as he was no longer a kid.

Following Blade to the training arena. Daniel wasn't sure what to expect as Blade did say this would be mental training. But never the less he prepaired himself for whatever it may be.

He had never done this kind of training before so he didn't know what exactly to do but he knew he had to help Daniel clear his mind. There needed to be no confusion or conflict in it for him to be able to have the best chance to access his total merge form, which was their best bet against King N now that Nature was hospitalized.

That alone scared him as she was one of their absolute strongest and she has only ever seen been injured by Archie who still had yet to return. Blade started to get a bad feeling that there was something was going to show itself soon and the best thing they could do was be as ready as they could for it.

"Daniel. This training is more of a training of clarity. You need to know what you are capible of and what you are not."

"What do you mean?"

"Can you kill?" Daniel's eyes widened as he heard that. Daniel didn't know if he could. So far to his memory, he hasnt killed anyone and Blackeye doesn't count as he was already dead. The dark magic took over his corpse so he didn't count. He didn't kill the invaders around the time of Discord. He didnt kill the soldiers who were trying to kill him back home, but he did remember he left one with potentual brain damage.

It was a question that really got to him. He never in his life though he would have to kill as he usualy tried to see things from the perspective of others to avoid even a simple fight. But he has changed as now he loved to do battle, but does that mean he has also change in terms that he will kill?

"I...i'm not sure." Blade sighed.

"Listen Daniel. The clearer a heart bearers mind is, the easier it is for them to access more power. You need to know what you can do, what you want and what you fight for. What is your ultimate goal? Are you persuing something that you think will make you happy or are you wanting it back just cause you want to go back to the old? Think of Equestria, if you get earth back then are you just going to leave it and never go back?"

Daniel looked at the ground when he heard that. Equestria was a home to him as while he had more friends on earth, Equeatria has given him a larger group at one time. Yes, he could go back between them but which one would he say is his real home if home is where you are with others who care about you? Does the amount that care about you in one place matter? If it's less or more than another.

"I...need to think on that." Daniel told him as he sat on the ground and racked his brain over the questions he had just been asked.

"Sir. Your new upgrades are ready."

"Good. Install them and have my army ready in 2 weeks."

"2 weeks? Sir that's bearly enough time to prepair an inva-" He was cut off from a glare from the King. "I mean. Right away sir." The officer ran off to give the order.

King N had some of his invasion fleet ready. A single titan class ship the size of a moon backed by 4 battleship classes. The main fleed would consist of 5 carrier classes, each holding 4 million invasion troops and around 35 destroyers class ships for orbital bombardment.

He also had a much larger fleet ready to bring in if the entites from his past were there to fight him. Consisting of around 300 ships ready to jump in. This planet had destroyed a Consumer so either it was really advanced which is unlikely as it didn't consume any high end technology and backwater worlds more often than not, couldnt stop a Consumer. So the only option was that there was a powerful indevidual on that planet.

If it was indeed the heart bearer then he didn't want to take a chance and fail like last time.

"Alright. Scan." Alpha initiated a scan of the whole lab. Each bot and the defence systems. Daniel's kids were included in this too.

"Well we so far have some air combat guns but only around 20 of them and they are scattered around a few points in the forest. As for the robot force. Currently we have 30,000 on construction and around 5 million stored away." Freddy told him as he looked over the system.

"We need more. Activate the ones in storage and get them building more battle bot."

"All of them?"

"Yes...all of them. We need as many bots as we can if we want to avoid another blackeye incident. With enough battle bots we can just throw them at the enemy till they stop."

"Or we could base our army on quality and make each bot its own death machine." Freddy told him.

"That would take too long. If you want to make a small elite force then by all means, go ahead and do so. But we need a large army for the near future." Freddy sighed and went to activate the bots in storage who went to work building other bots.

Whatever the external threat was, they needed to make sure it stayed focused on the Everfree and not any of the towns nearby. Plus they also had Daniel who had proven himself capable of destroying the whole planet with the last battle he was in, so Freddy felt pretty confident they could handle anything that was thrown at them.

Author's Notes:

King N: Finally. It's almost my time to shine. You up for a rumble?

Daniel: You bet i am. But are you going to hide behind a tin can for our fight?

King N: It's not a tin can. It's a mech suit.

Author: You two are annoying. I need to get ideas to how the story plays out and make it belivable while also not forgetting little details 4 months down the line. Thankfully i am now determined to finish this.

Daniel: 5 years. When will you finish it?

Author: If i can find the urge to get off my games. I should have it done by summer of 2020 or later 2020. I plan there to be perhaps around 15 more chapters. This one included.

King N: Well good luck. And i will see you at the appointed time Daniel.

King N leaves the room

Author: Also just to warn you. My editor is still busy with life things and i dont want to pressure him so the next few chapters i post will likely be unedited. As usual if you see errors and want to help. Just send me a message with the errors highlighted.
