"So Daniel. What will it be?" King N knew he had won. Even if he didn't hold earth hostage, the amount of power Daniel was emiting would soon start to weaken his body as he was not adapted to the power he was radiating and he would get weaker over time. So he had won this fight even without keeping Earth as a hostage, but he did just encase Daniel was stronger than he thought which didn't turn out to be the case. He was slightly weaker.

"You Monster." Daniel clenched his fist as he looked at King N with pure hatred.

"One wrong move..." Daniel saw King N open a portal and at the other side of it he saw a black hole. "...and the earth goes in."

Daniel was at a lost to what his next move should be. He likely couldn'y go faster than King N and even if he could. He couldn't get in that hole, grab Earth and come back befor King N closed it. Leaving him free to terrorize Equestria

"No. No. Daniel. You have a new home. Don't give up!" Nature screamed from her bed as she saw Daniel struggling to choose what to do. She knew what position he was in. He blamed himself for what happened to Earth and while he found a way to look passed it, not he was faced with the assured destruction of his home of he didn't follow what King N wanted.

This time Earth would be gone if he didn't win.

Nature got up out of her bed and paced back and forth. Wondering what would happen. But as she did she heard something. It sounded like a pulse. Following it she was lead to the 2nd heart underground and she looked on at it as it radiated. A moment later it expanded then contracted like it was breathing, but it send out some kind of energy pulse that she couldn't recognize.

She tried to track it or read it to see what it does but nothing seemed to happen.

"What was that?" He voiced echoed in an empty building. Besides the Nurse who takes care of injuries. Nature was alone in the hangout. Looking at the 2nd heart she saw it was back to normal. So she decided to head back to her room and watch the battle.

Xaveroth looked on at the figure loomed over him. Whatever this thing was, whoever it was. Was like a blank slate on reality. There was no information on this...thing at all. All he could sort of figure out was it was a heart bearer...and a very powerful one, thanks to the the glow in it's chest and eyes. He also couldn't tell if it was male or female as it's voice didn't sound feminine or masculine.

He had learned however that this was someone from the future who was stopping him from reading the near future.

As he saw the figure turn to the side to look at something and then it's eyes shined more before losing the shine and returning to normal. A wave of energy seemed to emit off of it and head off in all directions. As this happened it looked back and Xaveroth and it smiled.

"My task here is done. It won't stop now." It smiled but it also seemed to glitch again. This time it looked like it was fighting for a moment before resuming its normal position of standing and looking at him. Xaveroth got a glimps of what was really happening. This this was fighting something while sending a projection to annoy or do something to him.

"You will see me again Xaveroth." It was at that moment it vanished.

Archie who was taking stock of the items in the castle and waiting for a way out was greeted by a strange figure. Feeling a tap on his shoulder he turned around and saw someone who didn't look male or female, but he did recognize the face.

"You...you're the one who made Xaveroth back off." Without another work, the figure pushed him backwards but as he did a surge of energy went through him.

"Leave. Daniel needs your help....Nature will need your held."

"What did you do?" The figure was looking at him with a black expression and spoke with a monotoned voice.

"I hid you. Xaveroth will not be able to track you or see what you are up to. This will last a little while. Now go, Equestria is in danger. You will need to keep Nature alive. She will be able to calm Daniel down when it happens." The figure started to back off. It's image glitching every now and then.

"When what happens." The figure then started to fade.

"You will see Archie. You will see me sooner than you may think. And this madness will end. Hopefully."

"Hopefully?" It noded. "You don't know?" It shook it's head.

"I hope just as much as you do. That this will have a happy ending." With that it faded. No trace of it was left at all

Archie was left puzzled. This...thing was able to put the fear in Xaveroth and it seemd unsure of something. Archie felt a chill go up his spine, but he left that for now. He could finally get out but he needed a little bit of time to get passed the barriers that Xaveroth put up.

"Hold on you two. I'm on my way." Archie put his hands forwards and tried to rip a hole between worlds and through the barrier. While it would take a while to do, Archie know how this kind of travel worked and how such defences were put up so he would be able to get through it quicker than normal.

"So Daniel...what will it be?" King N asked.

"Daniel...this is your home now. Nature told me you let go." Blade said as he lifted himself up. Bearly able to stand. The battlefield was totally silent as the robots and King N's troops were all looking over at what was taking place.

"I will make you a deal then. Surrended and i will leave this planet alone and won't kill off the last of your friends."

"You're lying. I know your kind." Daniel said with rage in his voice.

"Do you want warth to die?" King N said threateningly.

"I need to move now. It's now or never." Xaveroth picked himself up and heard a knock on his door. "What is it?" He said annoyed.

"Sir...we found it." A guard said as he didn't dare step in the room.

"You have?" Xaveroth's annoyance turned to joy.

"Yes sir." Xaveroth followed the guard to the main hall and he saw what he was serching for. An artefact called 'The Great Projector' which he smiled at. It looked like a spear but as the handle got further away from the sharp end, it expanded out and become more like a funnel. This was it in its dormant stage. It would be much more impressive in use.

"And the breaking point?" Xaveroth asked.

"We have it narrowed the one you wanted down to somewhere in the Dark Multiverse. But sir. Why would you want to go to this one? There is another 2 more point in all of creation that we can find."

"Because it's all part of my plan. Got this thing ready for transport." As his guards got it wrapped up and ready to be transported away. Xaveroth waited in the throne room. Raising his hand up, he chuckled. "Time to wake up Nature." He snapped his fingers.

Nature felt like she was about to fall asleep and as she gave in, she didn't realise she was moving. She stood in the center of the room and activated all the traps she placed a while back. Within moment the entire entity hangout was in fire. The librarys were burning with many holes blasted through the ground and all the labs whic held experiments and research notes were all burnt to dust. All living quarters were gone and even the medical ward which she was in had the bedsheets catch fire. Nature was snapped out of it as she heard the screams of the dying nurse. As flames consumed her.

"What...what the?" Nature looked around and saw the absolute ruin that was the entity hangout. So much which was accumulated over longer than she had been alive...was all burning or destroyed. "This is a dream...i fell asleep and this is a nightmare." She tried to tell herself.

When she realised it wasn't she got up and took a pillow and IV bag. Throwing it over the nurse and putting her out with the pillow as she lay there, still sizzling from the burn. All that was left was slight breathing.

Nature looked around and found some ice packs as she put them on the nurse and tried to use healing power. All that done was fix her insides a little and let her breath more than she was before. But it was a start.

Looking back at the portal which showed the battle. She saw Daniel was shaking and almost crying. He was loosing the desire to keep on fighting and it was made evidant as the energy around him slowly got lower and lower. Weaker and weaker.

"No...Daniel." Nature looked back at the Nurse and held her burnt hand. "I'm sorry. But i need to go...i don't know if i will be back." Nature moved all the medcial equipment she could over to the nurse. Hoping she could recover.

Looking at the battle. She knew what she needed to do. Daniel needed her help. She focused on teleporting to his location.

"I...." Daniel gritted his teeth, He was having to choose one home over another.

"So be it. Say bye to Earth."

At that moment a portal opened behind King N and Nature appeared out of it. Kicking King N in the head and grabbing Earth. She got up and tried to make her way to Daniel. Daniel was overjoyed to see her, but that soon turned to dread as King K stood back up and looked at her with the eyes of the suit now red. His shoulder was opened and a commincation Disc was aiming up at his ships. In a moment they all turned their guns in Daniel and fired. Daniel put up and shield but the exposions send Nature tumbling back.

"Nature!" Daniel screamed as he saw her picking herself up.

As she picked herself up and lifted her head, it was face to face with King N's palm which was also glowing. To Daniel, time seemed to stop as he saw the area around Nature light up and hear her scream.

Nature felt like every part of her body was getting ripped to pieces as the beam was hammering down on her back like a mountain. Trying to move even slightly but no luck, to deal with the pain but still had nothing to do to even help with it.

Daniel watches as the light beam stopped and Nature's body dropped to the floor. The Earth rolling off to the side as she was unmoving. King N picked up the Earth and chuckled but what he didn't see was Daniel was now twitching violently and his energy had shot back up. Daniel's aura was now a blood red and he looked at King N with seething hatred.

"YOU MOTHERFUCKER!" Daniel screamed as he dropped the shield and let the bombardment hit him. But a moment later he rushed forwards and punched King N on the head. The head was instantly knocked off the body and was launched to space.

"Say goodb-" He was cut off as Daniel punched the hand that held Earth, severing it instantly and wasted no time ripping it to pieces and burning it to melted metal.

Daniel stood in place for a moment and gripped his head. Rage and sadness taking over as he felt and even heard a heartbeat. His chest was also starting to glow. "NO! HE'S MINE!" Daniel should as he ran to King N. Compleatly ingnoring the Earth that was on the ground. King N chuckled as now Daniel would get weaker at a faster pace. All he had to do was hold out.

Daniel punched through the glass on the chest area and started ripping it open. King K grabbed him with his other hand and quickly replaced the destroyed one. Daniel wasted no time tipping the fingers off the hand that grabbed him before grabbing the hand and ripping it off too.

As the energy from the battle kept on increasing to the point that King N's soldier's felt the pressure and found it harder and harder to breath, Daniel himself was getting more and more injuries on himself as the energy was was emiting was ripping his body appart but that's didnt stop him and he kept going. Making the injuries appear more quickly and making them worse over time.

The more time that passed, the more Daniel felt like he was going to faint. That the heart itself will take over.

"No...let me!" He shouted in an effort to keep himself awake. King N went on the offencive but Daniel just looked at him with a creepy smile and went for the control area in the middle of the chest. This caused King N to become defencive and knock him away, but as his hand impacted Daniel. He grabbed his hand and crushed it, then ripped if off. King N quickly replaced it with another one. His best bet was to hold out. Wait till Daniel was weakened and then take him out before he heart took control.

Daniel's eyes were flashing between red and glowing, he was in a battle for self control and it was only his rage that was keeping him going in the battle.

"No. I will beat him?!" Daniel said as he gripped his head. Then shaking it as his eyes turned red, to glowing then to red again.

Archie done it. The barried was broken and he passed through it and was now heading back home. He headed to the entity hangout first to see what had happened in his time away and to his horror, the moment he got there he saw everything was ruined.

Fires consumed just about everything and all of the architecture was ruined with burn marks and holes that were blasted into them. The tower was on the verge of collapsing.

Looking for life signs, he found only one in the medical wing. As he went there he saw there more more damage to the science labs as all the experimental chemicals were mixing and creating unknown gasses and solids. But he felt that for now as he headed to the only life sign left here.

When he got to the medical wing he was shocked to see the nurse herself and not Nature in the bed, recovering.

"Red Aid? Where is Nature?" Red Aid lifted up a burnt hand and pointed to a portal which was projecting the display of a battle and he saw Daniel was going absolutly crazy. He looked back and Red Aid.

"I need to go and help them. Will you be ok?" She nodded as she slowly took some cream from the medical supplies Nature left her and rubbed herself with it, which started to ease some of the burns. With that, Archie left to help Daniel.

When Archie arrived he saw a sight that was shocking. Armies and spaceships. All silently watching the battle that was going on. Looking around he saw and Injured Blade and went to him quickly.

"Blade!" He called out and Blade was shocked to see him

"Archie?" He said is disbelief

"Where's Nature? And Wisp-o?" Blade pointed to a burnt body on the ground that was next to...some kind of orb. But when he wasked about Wisp-o he just saw Blade look down and close his eyes. "Oh...i'm...sorry." Archie know Blade and Wisp-o were best friends. There was no well know duo more than them to the entites. "Let's not let his death be in vain."

Archie went over to Nature and checked her vital signs. There was a pulse but her breathing was raspy. Her lungs were damaged and she was missing her left arm and the back of her head showed only her skull which was also burnt.

"Nature" He said, hoping she was still awake.

"Ar...chie?" She said weakly. Her eye only opening slightly.

"Yeah. I'm here." Archie heard a scream as Daniel was still launching attack after attack on King N. His aura going between red and gold. Archie could see Daniel was fighting an inward battle as well as this actual battle.

"Ca...him...down." Nature tried to say.

"What?"

"If he...keeps...like this. He will...lose." Archie saw King N attack Daniel when he was in a moment of self turmoil and knock him back. Daniel was so full of cuts and blood he almost didn't look human. His ribs were visable and other parts of his skeleton. But Daniel just rushed back at King N.

"Calm him down. Let me speak...to him." As Daniel was knocked away again, showing he was starting to get weaker. Daniel tried to charge one last time but this time he was grabbed and King N tried to crush him. Archie moved in and hit King N's hand on the wrist area as he grabbed Daniel. Putting up a field around King N, all the while backing away while holding an almost unconcious Daniel who was still trying to fight and struggling to get out of Archies grasp.

"Daniel. Calm down." Archie said and Daniel looked back in surpise.

"Archie?" A moment later he teleported himself and Daniel back to Nature.

"Dan...iel." She said weakly.

"Nature?" Daniel moved to her side and held her hand.

"Don't...fight the heart. Work with it."

"How? How can i work with it. I get put to sleep everytime it takes over."

"Try and see if you can reason with it. It's your best bet to beat King N." King N was currently trying to break out of the shield Archie put up and was making quite a bit of progress.

"Reason with it? Will that even work?"

"It...is worth trying. You can't...win with...pure power alone. You have seen that."

"How? Do i just talk to himself inwardly? Reach out to it? I don't think i can do it." Daniel was doubting himself and Nature moved her hand to his cheek. She pulled him down into a kiss with what little energy shw could call up and as he pulled away a moment later she spoke.

"You just need to believe. You have come so far and shown me so much. I believe in you." She smiled and her eyes slowly shut. Daniel looked on as he saw her eyes close over. He didn't know if she was dead or not. But she was right. He couldn't let his rage control him. Right now he felt it build up as the possibility she might be dead but he used all the willpower he had to stop himself. Taking deep breaths, he decided to try what she said. He closed his eyes and as he started to feel the heart taking over he called out in his mind. 'Wait'

To Daniel's glee. It did stop. 'Let me take control. Please.' Daniel tried not to be too asserive. He knew the heart was semi sentiant so he needed to find out how it worked, but it seemed like so far, it was listening to him.

"Daniel! I can't hold him." Archie called out as the shield broke.

"Archie. Stay out of this!" King N fired a blast at Archie who just tanked it with no visable damage.

"I won't stay out of this. You're going down." Archie cracked his neck in preperation for the fight as King N's head reattatched itself to his body. Flying back after Daniel punched it goodness knows how far.

Daniel however was still trying to connect to the heart and felt like he was making progress. He could 'feel' it in a sense. It was still trying to take control but not as direct. 'No. Let me. If it's my duty to protect. If that's why you chose me. Then let me. Give me the power to do it.' The heart stopped trying to take control and a few moments passed. Daniel felt himself get calmer and he himself now pushed gently to get the power and to get control.

King N however was not waiting around as he charged at Archie and tried to also hit Daniel with a side attack, which Archie stopped and with a strong punch to King N's mechanical head, he knocked him away.

"Nice try." Both of them got back into a stance and prepaired to fight.

'Let me.' Daniel pushed gently to get the power that he had in his total merge form while also keeping control.

Can you do it? Can you kill if you need to? Daniel heard a question in his head.

'I don't think i can.'

Can you do it? Can you kill if you need to. It asked again.

'N...no. I'm no killer.' Daniel admited. Even in the rage he was in before. He didn't think he could kill if he won the battle.

What are you Daniel?

'Human.' This is when Daniel remembered. The more he knew of himself. The more his mind was clear on himself. The stronger his connection to the heart was. It wasn't just all about power, but also clarity and knowing who you are. He rememebred his mother never could make her mind up for which is probably why she never got control of the full thing. 'I am Human. But i am also an entity.' He hated to admit. It sounded like he was trying to make himself sound cool or in the spotlight, which he hated. He always prefered to be someone in the background.

What is it you want? What is your endgoal? This one caught him off guard. If he beats King N, then what is his endgoal? One thing popped into his head and while he didn't want to admit it. He knew it was true.

'To have a family of my own.' Time felt like it was frozen for Daniel as he didn't hear anything or even feel the wind blowing.

Last question. What is your home? Daniel thought this over for a moment. Was Earth still his home? Was it Equestria? Was it the hangout? No. That couldn't be counted as a home. Equestria? What happens when all his friends die?

'My home is...' Daniel had trouble answering that so he said something that came from his heart. 'Where i am care for and where i care about the most. None of them are my home. My home is no longer a place, but with people.' This was the best he said as to him it didn't matter where he was but who he was with.

He then felt the heart lower in power and his body go cold. This is when he felt a surge up his spine as he felt himself become covered in energy. Time then felt like it resumed and Daniel heard King N shout.

"No you don't!" King N fired a beam at Daniel and Daniel was able to feel the beam moving towards him but it felt...weak. As it was about to hit him it was split down the middle and Daniel was left unharmed. Both King N and Archie were looking on as Daniel stood up. This time he had a smile on his face. Not a menicing smile or one someone would make when they are angry. But one that signaled calm and collected.

As he stood there with a smile on his face King N made a communication disk appear on his shoulder again and ordered all ships to fire on Daniel. When they did, Daniel looked up at them and they turned into dust before they even touched the ground. They stopped firing about 30 secounds later when nothing had changed.

King N charged at Daniel who just stayed still as he approtched and just before King N landed a punch. Daniel moved faster than he could see and hit him twice. Once in the arm and destroyed the whole arm and the other time in the head which caused King K to backflip several times before landing. All of this and he still had his eyes closed.

Daniel dropped to the ground and exhailed and then opened his eyes and looked at King N. His chest started to glow and so did his eyes as he was covered in a golden aura all across his body.

"Archie." Daniel voice was low but also calm. "Take Nature and heal her, please. Let me deal with Mr N over here." Archie looked on at Daniel with shock. He realised that form, Daniel used it against him once and he was able to do a good number on him before Nature calmed him down. If he has gotten control of it now, then he would have to have a battle with Daniel after this match. That is if they win.

"Sure." Archie picked up Nature and looked back at Daniel before he teleported her back to the hangout. While he didn't like the idea of leaving Daniel alone. He knew it was perhaps the best option right now as Nature was in need of serious medical attention and it was still a personal matter for him based on what King N had done. Best of all, his healing had increased and now his ribs were covered up again, but he still looked awful.

"Now. I think we have a battle to finish. And this time..." Daniel moved and in a flash, Earth was in his hands. "...You don't hold the cards." Daniel tossed it into the air and teleported it to the entity hangout, where he knew Archie would keep it safe.
