??? (Hours before meeting the Doctor)

We find our night princess traversing through an unknown area as black skies clouds her vision. She had not found any life during her time there as she was walking endlessly through a black grassy field. At first, she assumed it was a dream based on what happened with Mephiles, yet her powers seemed to be ineffective in this place. She thought about flying, yet she couldn’t risk herself soaring endlessly in a dark abyss. ‘Oh Sister, I wish you were here. I have been trapped for several hours or days trying find an escape path.’ She stares at the abyss hopelessly until she notice a purple light glowing in the far distance. ‘Finally, I found something other than pitch-darkness.’ She began to gallop towards the light.

When she was halfway there, she halted when she felt depression trying to reach through her soul. The pulsing raw emotions of countless beings’ misery wash over her body. She almost felt like ending her own life when suicide urges were growing in her mind and images of her mother and sister’s death imprinted in her mind. She had second thoughts about the light as she backed away from it. ‘I do not know why these foul emotions and images were inserted, but I have this feeling to escape the light.’ The purple light suddenly brighten as it came closer to the princess. She felt her soul agonizing from the depress aura as she flew from the glowing matter. ‘Damn it! The light is coming in quickly. I must release everything I have or….’ She shook her head in refutal. ‘No! I will make it.’ She channel her magic to destroy the restrict and gravity seals on her body as well removed her royal clothes. The clothes weight approximately 5 tons, plus the gravity was 100x while her body was restricted to 10% of her capabilities. Even with the benefits of that training, it could not outrun from the light as it engulfed her into despair. She had one thought before losing conscious as she saw an image of her sister and friends fading from her mind. ‘No! I’m sorry, everypony.’

When she opened her eyes she found herself in a book room as a familiar dark being was sitting on a large comfy chair reading a book. Luna growled and tried to focus her powers to blast the dark matter, yet she was unable to feel any magic. She felt helplessness and fear consuming her as Mephiles closed the book and began walking towards her. The dark being had malicious intent in his eyes as he grasp a hand on her. Luna tried to back away from the dark devil, yet he pulled her over as he examine her. The dark green eyes glare deeply into Luna’s soul as she felt a fraction of self loathing for being so weak, yet that feeling seemed to fade as she notice a clone of herself in a corner. She was happy a part of her subconscious has come to help until she notice the clone had a darker coat, a corrupted version of her cutie mark and powers, and dragon-like green eyes.

“What is the meaning of this, Foul demon?!” Luna demanded with rage as Mephiles eyes was amuse by her reaction.

“Tell me princess do you know where you are at?” Mephiles asked with an impassive expression.

“I know we aren’t in a dream or I would have destroyed your very existence for the things you’d done!” She angrily responded as her clone gave a mockingly laugh.

“Oh little foal, I can’t believe I came from you in the first place.” The clone declared as she began examining the original. “Then again you always loved me compare to the other copies.” Luna was confused by her statement.

“Stop spewing lies, the only copy I loved the most was GL-1 and she would never betray me. So Mephiles take your horrid act somewhere else or suffer my wrath.” Mephiles gave a chuckle to the comment.

“Tell me Luna, do you remember the three rings I inserted into you?” Mephiles asked only to receive a spit from the mare. He gave a quick backhand slap after wiping the spit off as she glared without any reaction to the hit. “The hate is strong with this one, yet I wonder how Celestia will feel if her sister attempts to kill her.” Luna’s patience has thinned when she felt her magic returned. She used telekinesis to grab hold on a chair as she attempted to kill the demon with it, yet she felt restricted as her clone held her back. “Tell me clone, how does she feel?”

“She feels quite angry about what you said especially threatening the Sun gloried perfectionist. She feels sad about being unable to stop us as well disappointing herself and being helpless.” The clone continued as Luna shut her eyes trying to focus on escaping from this annoyance. “The pure jealousy of her sister still burns by everypony relying on her instead of them being equal. The most highest emotion is hatred for your very existence.” The dark copy grinned at that particular emotion as her aura grew by Luna’s experience.

“That doesn’t prove anything except you can read obvious expression for a low minded scum.” The clone went up to the original as she punched her in the face. Luna felt her lips bleeding as the clone gave a sneer at the blue alicorn’s resistance.

“Fine, let’s go deeper.” The clone cleared her throat as Mephiles mid air sat and watched the event to fold. “You remember the time you pranked your sister by replacing chocolate with the manues in the waste room.” Luna tried to resist the urge to smile from the memory as she kept her glare at the clone. “How about the time you blew up the training room and blame a lone unicorn guard who was sentence to the dungeon.” Luna had a guilty expression in her eyes, yet she knew the demon could have probe her mind. “ If I didn’t convince you to do your first right deed with a nightmare, then you would have been more of a spoiled brat.” Luna had kept her scepticism as she spat blood on her clone’s face. The clone gave a deadpan expression while wiping blood spit off as she continued. “ If that doesn’t convince you, then I will say something only a true Luna clone would know.” Luna didn’t believe her until the clone whisper something into the night princess’s ear which caused her to mouth gape.

“How did you know!?” Luna fearfully said as she cowered by the clone grasp. “I blocked that secret, even Discord and miss Sync Heart couldn’t know it.” The clone gave a cruel laugh as Mephiles raised his eyebrow.

“Can we cut the theatrics, so I can get my message across?” he asked impatiently as the clone gave a sour look. “Now I’ve come to tell you that if any situation I would be occupied-” He was cut off by the clone.

“You mean Sombra betrayed you and has the crystal heart, which will seal you inside for who knows how long.” Mephiles glared irritably at the Luna clone who gave a cheeky smile. “You should have known he was defected as a minion to begin with. By the way, you know he is closing in on you, so you don’t have that much time.” Mephiles grabbed the clone by the neck choking her as he said

“I’m a god and if you interrupt me again.” He drew her face close his as his green eyes glowed with a promise to hell especially when his mouth almost created a mouth. “I will find out how broken of a minion you will be.” Mephiles let go of the copy as he directed his attention to the original. “I’ll make this brief, this replica is the same one you cherish except I made some alterations.” Luna’s eyes widen as she curses the dark demon. “She will provide me information while gathering energy from your dark emotions. If you attempted removing these rings before harvest.” He gave a chuckle of the possible carnage as the moon princess flinch from the ominous glee in the demon’s eyes. “Let’s just say your mind will be a permanent vegetable while your powers flare off destroying any sentients nearby.” He gave an advice before leaving. “If I were you, I’ll play the princess role and let nature take it’s course. Ai deu child of Faust, I have a foolish apprentice to discipline. ” He disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

Luna stared sadly at her best friend who began walking to her with a malicious smile. ‘Mephiles if I ever find a way out of this, I will thrust my astral blades through your buckin head.’ The clone began moving her original around with telekinesis as she closed in on the azure princess’s head. Luna closed her eyes in anticipation to the future torment she will suffer by being in her mercy of her evil best friend. She waited for passing seconds of endless torture only to feel soft fur covering her body. She opened her eyes to see the clone giving a deep hug while keeping a playful smirk. Luna was confused by the sudden action until she was dropped to the floor making the clone laugh. Luna quickly got up with an irritated expression wanting to know what’s going on.

“What are you doing?” Luna asked making the clone stopped laughing to answer.

“Simply giving you an apology hug, while making sure he can’t hear us.” The clone focus her horn as the room was replace with surface of the moon as their planet shines beautifully in the sky. “Now we can talk without worrying about our interloper listening in.” Luna was skeptical by her clone’s actions.

“Are you really GL-1?” Luna asked with hope that her best friend is still in there.

“Luna you really need somepony in your life. I admit being a gamers is fun and all, but you need some action in life.” She said mischiefly as Luna happily smile while giving her clone a playful smack on the check. The clone held her hooves up as she her horn glowed. “Alright enough fooling around, we don’t have much time. By the way, call me Yue since I’m going to be my own pony soon.”

“What do you mean being your own pony and what happened to the others?” Luna asked as she looked around for any representations of her mind.

“I’m the union of all your broken psyche into one, so I’m literally your other half.” The newly named Yue answered with a sad glance as Luna could only feel depression from numerous friends and loyal companion died. It was a depressing thought that some ponies who were connected to her are gone.

“I will hold a private dream funeral for each one later, but you haven’t answered the second part.” Luna bitterly said as Yue continued her explanation.

“When the evil son of a bitch tried to corrupt us by inserting those 3 rings into you.” Luna gave a frightened shiver as she remembered the embodiment of those emotions buried into her soul. “We’d decided that one of us had to be in charge, while the rest purge majority of the devil’s powers. The only part we couldn’t eradicate is the ring’s time bomb and the deep attachment into your soul.” Luna widened by the declaration of the time bomb. “Don’t worry we can overcome some part of it if you train your spirit and will.” That didn’t leave much comfort for the azure princess for holding a potential threat in herself, yet she trust herself to handle the situation.

“Isn’t there any alternative to decrease the process or stopping it?” Luna asked in concern which Yue thought for a few moment before an idea flashed into her head.

“Well there is trying to find the remaining world rings, but I think we need our Antares plot sized sister of ours.” Yue said with disdain toward Celestia.

“I don’t know why you dislike our sister, since you and I are the same person?” Luna asked only for Yue to sigh as she gave Luna a serious stare.

“You remembered our training with Miss Sync Heart or rather Harmony.” Luna nod unsure the relevance to the situation. “After you discover your cloning technique and created me for the first time, the Sun harlot had the balls to do a transgression upon me.” Luna stared at her with the absolute attention as her clone tells the tale.

Flashback: Year 20 of Harmony’s bootcamp (after fighting their moms).

Luna was meditating deep in a forest trying to create matter out of nothing similar to Discord except by channeling the powers of dreams. However, when her mind began to hurt from the strain she stopped to see the result. She opened her eyes and sigh by the failure as she only created another large chocolate cookie with an ‘oreo’ symbol on it. She levitated the cookie and thought about crushing it until her stomach rumble. She didn’t felt the need of eating the cookie, yet she couldn’t waste an easy snack. She suspiciously looked around to see if her sister isn’t near as she tried to eat the cookie. When she move her head to the cookie she felt soft fur as she stared at a pair of amuse purple eyes. Luna quickly let go of sisters mouth as she spat whatever was in between her mouth. Celestia found her sister’s overaction amusing as the azure princess look back with a frown.

“Sister, we were suppose to train alone for a month!” Luna said irritatedly as Celestia gave her a fake sad face.

“What!” She made a dramatic pose as she look down on the ground. “ I couldn’t visit my favorite sister?” Celestia said in a sad tone and puppy eyes as Luna rolled her eyes.

“You have been too affectionate ever since we’re beaten fake mom.” Luna said annoyed by her sisters affectionate behavior. “Besides I’m your only sister, so stop being a foal and act your age.” Celestia looked up with a regular smile as she lay down and view the sky.

“Sorry this is the longest we have gone without ponies or responsibilities bearing down on our throats.” Celestia said with a relief of having free moment from her stress. “I know we have to prepare against Discord, but we hardly spend time with one another since we were offical princesses.” The solar princess gave a curious glance to Luna as she asked. “So what were you doing in this beauty piece of nature?”

“You know the same old thing trying to create something from my dream magic.” Luna respond as she snorted in annoyance. “It was a complete failure, since I could only conjure up cookies with the name ‘oreo’ on it.” Celestia looked at the azure princess with a sad expression until she came up with an idea.

“Maybe you should focus combining your other magic into your dream magic. So it can be easier to make your dreams a reality.” Luna gave a deep thought as she nods to the idea.

“It might work, yet I don’t know if you’ll like the idea involving dark magic.” Celestia wanted to tell her sister no, since most users of dark magic try and conquer the kingdom. Example, the numerous shadow ponies created by the dark arts. An attempt to counter the wendigo which failed as they scattered to around Equis plaguing unfortunate souls into misery and woe. ‘It was a trouble clearing the difference between the real ones and fakes.’ Celestia thought with a mental groan. However, she remembers that her sister had similar traits to herself which meant ambitious to obtaining her goals. The solar sister only stares at the moon alicorn with a serious expression as she think about this carefully.

‘I don’t want to lose Lulu, but she will do this even if I say no.’ she notices a dejection in her sister’s eyes as she expected an answer. ‘However, if I monitor her progress there is a good chance I can prevent another evil from being born.’ She gave a deep breath before giving her sister an answer. “Alright as long I’m near you to supervise the attempts.” Luna was shocked that her sister agree, yet it change to a feral grin as she began focusing her dark magic through her body. It was a bit taxing on her mind and body, yet she wanted to prove to her sister that she is capable as a alicorn of dreams. The solar princess prepared herself for anything as dark clouds covered the whole area. She noticed a shadow being is formed as it took the shape of an alicorn. The first to notice is that its wings were dragon-like, its teeth had fangs, and its glowed green eyes had a dragon like appearance iris. The solar princess immediately prepared to blast the clone until it began forming flesh, which the clouds began to shrink around the clone.

It took a few moments, Celestia and Luna waited for the condensate clouds to separate in order to get a better sight of the creation. It surprised the duo when the clone came out in all it’s glory as a foal. At first, the sun princess wanted to kill the corrupted clone, yet she couldn’t for those eyes had the youth who had done no wrong. It tried to let out a roar for intimidation as it reminded the princesses of newborn kittens. Luna smiled by her first success progress as she petted the clone with pride.

“Now who is my little copy? Who is my first wittle mini-me? You are.” The clone giggled at her original’s embrace as she hugged her. The azure princess stare at her sister who seemed cautious of the miniature double. The moon princess didn’t want to deny her success from her sister as she asked. “Sister why not give my mini-me a little love?” She passed her clone to the solar princess who was wary if it will harm her. “Now sister, she wouldn’t bite you unless you were a villain.” She playfully teased. The clone seem to interpret the words and began to look at the sun sister with curiosity.

“Alright fine.” She held the foal clone with care as they analyze each other crucially. Celestia tried her best on finding a reason not to let it live, yet memories of Luna’s foal hood came to her mind. ‘Oh buck, it reminds me of the time Lulu went outside and decided to pretend to be a dragon. It was hard to remove the stains, but it was worth the peaceful moment with her.’ The Solar Princess give a slight adored awe for the foal clone before setting the foal on the ground and blow a raspberry on her stomach. The foal laugh by the princess’s action as Luna felt a maternal love for this moment. ‘I wonder if this what it feels like having a daughter.’

The moment was short lived for the clone grew unstable by the immense emotion and exploded in a cloud of smoke. Celestia was surprise before becoming horrified by the turn of events. Luna was quiet about what happened, while a bottle of rage enter through her body. The blue alicorn was about to look at her sister with disappointment, when she suddenly received foal’s memories. She felt a great sense of happiness and miniscule anger for her sister’s actions as the foal still loved the sun princess before it’s untimely demise. The azure alicorn needed to comfort her sister who was waiting for an response.

“I’m sorry Luna I didn’t mean to accidently kill her.” Celestia said in a regretful tone as she looked down in shame. Luna lightly rise her sister’s chin as she hugged her. This action bewildered the sun princess. “I thought you’ll be angry that I’ve killed your first success.”

“It’s okay. At least I know how to make another, so there is a chance I can recreate her.” Luna gave a sad smile before asking her sister. “Cellie do you think I would have made a good mother?” Celestia gave a warm smile to the question.

“Luna you will make a wonderful mother. I know for a fact that you would protect your foal with your life if the situation demanded.” Luna felt happy about the response as she decided to walk home for bed. “Besides whoever you marry will be a very lucky pony to have a spirited mare like you.” Luna made a stop to gave her response.

“Thanks sister I appreciate the compliment, but I’m not letting you near my wedding or child without supervision.” Celestia felt a slight sting in the heart by her words until Luna turned around and gave childish grin as she stick her tongue out. “Just kidding. Just make sure your weight doesn’t overgrow when the time comes.” Celestia gave a slight smile for the joke, before she realize the second sentence as she began walking slowly to the moon princess with a bigger smile. “Sorry sister I know you’re sensitive with your size, but it’s the truth you have been eating more than you own body weight recently. In fact, I think the tailor would need to sacrifice every cloth in Equestria to make your size.” Luna dramatically declare before running away as the Sun princess began chasing after her.

“Now sister dear, why not came here, so we can see if your face thinks my plot is that heavy!?” Celestia menacing demanded, despite the playful smiles on their faces. The sun princess ferociously sprinted after the azure alicorn with the desire to teach her a lesson. The chase lasted for the entire night as some parts of the jungle were redecorated, yet they rest peacefully in a hut afterwards. Both alicorns having their wings over each other as they hug together in warm embrace and enjoying the paradise of their fillyhood in their dreams.

Flashback end

“Wait let me get this straight, you have a grudge against my sister for a raspberry to the stomach.” Luna summarized as she recalls the only negative emotion felt by her clone. The dark half stare at the unamused original with confusion as awkward silence was in the air.

“I’m more enraged that I was slain by the raspberry.” Yue explained bitterly as she stomped her front hooves in a fit of rage. “How’d you feel that your first defeat was by a raspberry?”

“Well I would have been happy as a foal like you were, when it was given by family.” Luna teased with a happy smile as Yue snorted. The azure princess still wanted to ask “Anyway, what did you mean being your own pony?” The dark half was about to explain until a tower bell chimed was echoed in the dream.

“Sorry Luna, but we’re almost out of time. I’ll explain next time when we meet again, so get stronger.” Luna nodded as she disappeared from the landscape. Yue gave a serious glare after her ‘parent’ left. ‘I wonder dear mom if you can overcome the negativity or become one with it.’ She suddenly gave a dark smile at possible outcomes. ‘Regardless, it’ll be a win-win situation for me.’

In the Real World

Luna woke up in her bed chambers as she stare at the window to find the sun is almost ready to set. The azure princess has about an hour to perform her duties until she mischievously thought. ‘I just woke up from a nearly traumatizing experience or what they think will be. I think sister can handle our night duty while I go out and stretch my legs.’ She emphasized that with an idea of going on a adventure could build her body a bit on experience. ‘Though I better mention an inkling of where I’ll be or she’ll turn the castle upside down again.‘ She shudder at the memory when they returned from Zebrica. Star Swirl didn’t gave a easy punishment using the filly spell on her as her sister babied her for months. ‘At least Princess Platinum didn’t came to discipline me in front of our kingdom.’ The blue alicorn wrote a quick letter to her sister in case the solar princess worries. The night princess was about to leave until she remember something as she went to her bookcase and pulled a book. ‘Ha if Cellie and Starswirl can have a secret lab, then I don’t see why can’t I.’

Inside the secret chambers was truckloads of gaming technology she found during her mindscape adventures in different worlds. It wasn’t difficult transferring the games into reality, but it was hard to gain the information needed to create it. ‘ I have to thank sync heart one of these days for sparing the materials. In addition, for my abilities to change my dreams sense of time or that would take centuries to understand a fraction of these things.’ Luna thought as she recalls the many broken game system she tried to repair. ‘I still can’t believe it took 1,000 failed copies to create a basic nintendo system.’ It was dangerous for her to travel into unknown territory, yet she risked it for the chance of being prepared for future challenges. The azure princess pressed a button to reveal behind a hidden wall the dragon egg she won with Amy and RD.

She stared at the status of the dragon egg which she kept it in a magical stasis field created by a device. She felt the child shouldn’t attach to her. At least, if the dragons wanted the youngling back, yet it couldn’t be said she will tell anyone about it until the issue is brought up. She notice that the original aqua slash green color had changed into a purple with green spots as she noticed her magic must have corrupted it. ‘Oh nightapples, the drake might never be accepted into dragon society or at least the savage ones. The good news it’s still alive.’ She examine its status on the device.‘ It seems to be inactive until someone with large amount of magic provides the strength to hatch it.’ She brought her hoof to her head thinking carefully about the situation. ‘I’ve always wanted a dragon child. On the other hoof, I might deal with tremendous stress of taking care of an infant and work. Maybe I’ll leave it to Cellie to see if she could make use of it.’ She decided to leave the egg on hold as she transform into shadow vapor and left. Unknown to her a mysterious pony figure was hidden in an invisible cloak as the pony stared at the dragon egg before following the night princess.

10 miles outside the Cave of Harmony

Buttershe was practicing on her customize gem golem as she dodged an incoming strike. The golems were 50ft tall as it was covered by runic crystals. It was created to be immune to most magic attacks and tremendous physical resistance that can shield even by the crushing force of a mountain coming down on it. She had been oblivious to the most recent events as she was thinking about her son. ‘I wonder if I should greet my little scotch?’ The golem attempted to send 50 micro magic beams around it’s body as she dodged every blast with ease. ‘He should be around the same age as the colts so 12, yet I birth him at age 24 so he should be 14 or so.’ The missed attacks seemed to have pierce holes through any object it came in contact as she charged at the golem. ‘I just feel lost without you, Bucky! It’s a good thing you left your notes on those weird creations or I would have killed somepony.’ It went for a quick punch at the yellow earth pony who sidestep as it hit ground. ‘mmm I wonder how would a 14 year old son would react to his birth mother who has left him in an orphanage? Add to the factor said mother is stuck on age 20 for the rest of her life.’ She moved her hoof onto the gem’s arm as she left a mark while continuing her charge. The golem tried to move its arm, yet it wasn’t following the colossal’s command. The mare jumped as she launched toward the golem with a hoof to the face as it defended with its other arm. The arm block the hoof strike for a good three seconds before it had developed cracks. The golem moved it’s damaged arm to shoot a laser of concentrated magic at the rosehead pony. She blocked the attack while maintaining her hold onto her creation. When she suddenly gain an idea about her son predicament. ‘I’ve got it! But first.’

“It is on!” She declared with interest as she charge at the golem with a bit of concentration to the fight. The golem shot several beams at the pony who sidestep all of them as she came closer with fire in her eyes. The gem creature attempted to move its disabled arm as she jump for a second attempt to punch the golem. The golem performed a miracle as it moved the useless arm to counter the hit. Both hits collided with brute force that could be heard in the forest as similar to the other arm it formed cracks. The golem attempted a second laser charge only to see the mare attach to his arm. It tried to shake her off, yet she stick stubbornly as she concentrated her nature energy to stick her hooves onto the creature's arm. She began running toward the head which it attempted to blast her with the laser. The attack hit which created particle clouds cover it’s vision, when the cloud cleared it found the mare was missing until it saw her above. It tried to blast her as she twirled her body to the right in order to dodge the hits. It took only a couple of tries, before she approached it’s face with her mouth opened.

“Fos Krah Finn!” she shouted. An powerful stream of ice was fired from her mouth. The creature became sluggish by the intense temperature change as the mare launch herself higher to the air. She came down similar to an eagle to it’s prey as she ended the golem by an axe kick. It crumple down to pieces as she stretch her arms and legs while hearing a pair of hooves clapping from an audience courtesy of Princess Luna.

“How long were you standing there?” Buttershe asked with an raised eyebrow as she held her hoof out.

“Not that long sensei.” Luna she asked with excitement tone before hoof bumping her master “Anyway, I wanted to ask you something?”

“Luna if it’s for reinstatement as a guard commander or such ranks, then you know I won’t do it.” Buttershe said with a frown before she went to her bag by a tree . “Besides don’t you have to raise the moon soon.”

“ I’m not here to offer a job and Cellie will handle it for the night.” The azure princess stated as she brought a bag of her own. “I was wondering if you wanted to do an adventure with me like old times.” Buttershe began unloading her helmet and armor.

“Mmmm I’m surprise that you want to go adventuring with me.” The earth pony began placing her old tunic first. “However I’m sorta busy preparing for an upcoming battle.” Luna gasp excitedly, yet she felt a little sad about not being confronted about the issue.

“You could trust us to help, you know” Luna began checking her supplies as she has the following: a phoenix tears and ashes from philomena, 9 potions to restore magic strength, a instant scroll to access all armor and weapons at the secret weaponry, a sun charm with her sisters magic to summon said being, and a box filled with lunch and goodies. “Besides we’re princess and protectors of this land we can handle anything.” Buttershe gave her student a glare as she put on the protective shoulder pads.

“That’s the reason I can’t tell you since both of you are important to the public.” Luna was about to counter argue before she was cut off. “Even if you somehow remove the status, you two are the only ponies that control sun and moon on a daily bases.“ She took out a ink bottle, brush, and tag seals as she began mark them in a rapid, yet accurate rate. She continued her speech as she seemed slightly disappointed at Luna. “Most importantly having a title doesn’t factor much in fighting if you can still be taken down.” Luna eye rolled on the next upcoming part. “Plus, aren't princesses suppose to be polite little symbols to their people as they rule until they are queen.”

“ I don’t appreciate a horrible misconception of my duties, yet what good is a leader who doesn’t prepare themselves.” Buttershe nodded to the response as she place her helmet on. “My sister and I banned the queen title since it wouldn’t feel right to oppress with higher power.” Luna decided to ask another question as both fighters seemed prepared. “ Now I’m wondering if I can join your battle?”

“That depends do you have your armor just in case, because I can feel a bloodbath coming.” Buttershe told night princess with a motherly tone. The azule alicorn simply nodded to satisfy the yellow mare. “Alright we can go my way or do you need me to lead you.”

“I believe your way will suffice.” Luna gesture as she smiled about meeting an old faces. “It has been awhile since I meet old Mushu.”

“Alright just let me voice it out.” Buttershe took a deep breathe as she shouted, “Odahviing, Zu'u faan nau hi Mushu! (I call on you Mushu!)

It took awhile for a big red snake-like dragon to arrive as it land in front of the duo. The dragon had black eyes, orange whiskers, and a blue horn as his body radiates with a blazing aura. “Well Well if it isn’t my little firecracker and the little moon girl.” He greeted the two with a cheery tone as he hug the yellow earth pony. Buttershe felt crushed by the pressure, yet she handled it as the dragon kept talking. “How have you two been? I have been flying around the savannas enjoying the good views and wonderful dragonesses.” The dragon made some moving gestures as he twirled around like a merry go round which made the yellow mare dizzy. ”My you are still comfy to squeeze as you were a young mare.” The dragon stare at his small friend as he notice something. “Wait, how come you’re young all of a sudden.” The dragon remembered something as he held her like a doll in his palm. “Oh nevermind, I wonder if you could still squealed like those raspy toys you ponies made.” The dragon press a little pressure on the yellow mare as she let out a little squeak. Luna felt like laughing despite her teacher glaring at her if she does. “Oh man that never gets old!” He began repeating the action repeatedly which made Luna fall on the floor and laugh her flank off.

Buttershe having enough of this foolishness hit the dragon on the wrist as he yelp in pain. “I didn’t call you so you can humiliate me in front of my student!” She said angrily with pink on her cheeks. She stare at Luna who held her mouth as the mare let out killing intent. “I’ve called you to help give us a ride.” The dragon gave a disappointed expression

“Oh! I thought we will hang out after the whole Discord fiasco?” Mushu asked before he sigh and took a deep breathe as he respond in a deep voice. “Where do you need to go, Dovahkiin do lund? (Dovahkiin of nature?) Buttershe pointed at the far outskirts where Emerl was located.

“I sense something disturbing in the far horizon and wondered if you could get us there?” The dragon puffed out a smoke as he nods to confirm. The dragon place his head down as the pony duo went on. Buttershe rub the dragon’s head. “I’m sorry if you expected a normal greeting, but after this both you and I will go to the Dazzling Dunks for a quick drink.” The dragon raised an eyebrow anticipating for more. “Alright I’ll make some of Bucky’s old smokers and maybe some sillyplants, but I’m only making the weaker ones.” Luna was confused about what she was talking about. “Luna if you’re curious it’s something Bucky made before he died.”

“Oh! So I thought Bucky only makes seals?” Luna asked innocently as Buttershe laughed by her naive students question. “ Did I say something wrong?” The yellow mare only shook her as she began answering her questions.

“Luna you should spend sometime in the peasant side. During Bucky’s travels- ” The pony duo only sat and relax while telling each tales as their draconic friend takes them to their destination.

At Outer Bailey

The Mark Musketeers arrive to the battlefield as they witness Simba charging ferociously against Night Terror. The demon warrior swing his blade which unleashed a vertical wave of crimson energy as the shadow feline dodged the devastating attack. The slash wave traveled through the battlefield and destroyed a castle wall. The shadow demon continued his charge as he slash the soul demon while dodging each of his slashes with his feline agility. The patterned continued as the demon warrior keeps receiving claw slashes per each time the feline evades his sword strikes. When the demon warrior received his 6th slash, he directed his sword on the ground as he made a ring surrounding the area. The demon feline was about to hide until he notices his friends was in range.

‘Crud I need to save them!’ Simba thought as a familiar voice advise him. /No you don’t they can handle it. Besides, don’t you need help against our prey./ The feline groan as he heard his inner demon speak. /Don’t be moaning I’m apart of you./ The demon feline tried ignore his instinct. /Are you mad that we almost killed that mare?/ Simba still kept his silent treatment until he saw the ring glow on the inside as he forced himself to evade into the shadows. He thought his friend were going to be killed until he saw how they respond to the situation.

Onyx Gem quickly made a 6 pronged-seal on the ground surrounding the whole team in a protective barrier. The albino unicorn summon the same number of gems on the pronged marks to add more protection. The ring released a rising wave of energy the seal seemed to have absorbed some of the attack while protecting them. When the attack was finish, the gems directed themselves toward Night Terror as it release the stored energy at the warrior. The demon warrior blocked the attack, yet it was caught off guard when Silent attack from behind as the creature felt his body unable to react. Silent disappeared as he continued his assault at the speed of shadows. It resulted in 25 hits as per each hit the warrior was marked with a seal. When Silent was done he shouted. “Now!!”

Apple Crusher came in with a earth shattering hoof kick to Night Terror’s chest which blew the creature far as the redhead said. “Come on, Simba! Get ya head out of the gutter and help me.” It snapped the shadow lion out of his trance as he followed the Earth pony’s lead by morphing into a pegasus. Night Terror crash to the ground as he rise to block an incoming hoof strike from the redheaded earth pony. Simba came with a uppercut to his jaw which left him off guard for the following action. Apple charged in with 4 explosive hoof punches to start it off as it cracked Night Terror’s armor. Then, he gave the warrior a harsh kick which destroyed a part of the demon warrior’s armor at the lower region. Simba coming from behind gave the warrior a demon sphere of energy as it stun Night Terror from blocking the next attacks. The shadow lion morph back and charged at the warrior with 15 slashes. The shadow demon teleported in a shadow mist per each slashes which he finishes with a blazing flame covering his body. He tackle the warrior as it exploded on impact which sent the warrior up in the air. Night Terror tried to opened it’s wings before Silent Dash came in and began slicing them. The demon warrior tried to rid of the speedy pegasus, yet to no prevail as the speedster kept coming at him vigorously.

“You insolent mortal! I will dine on your soul with your head on my wall!” Night Terror yelled charging at Silent who dodged the first attempt as he counterstrike by slashing at his exposed areas. The pegasus began dodging strike after strike as the warrior grew infuriated by the counterstrikes of each failure. He was about to release an explosion to hit every direction until the pegasus toss a smoke bomb into his face. It stun and blinded the warrior as the pegasus blended into the smoke covered air. The warrior attempted to blow the area again before a kunai with runic carvings strike his abdomen as it exploded upon impact.

“Like that will ever happen. I mean you’re too slow for me.” The pegasus gloated which made Night Terror unleashed a dark sphere toward the voice. It was quiet as the unholy warrior examine his area only to have a kunai strike to the jaw. “Come on, a snail can move faster than that.” The warrior began to concentrate towards his opponent's soul, yet he noticed an unavoidable thunder strike as he barely blocked the impact. The incoming attack landed a critical hit towards his demonic hand, yet he was able to recover while glaring at his opponent. ”Maybe you should stick to being cannon fodder, but I think you’re underqualified for being too horrible even by their standards.” The warrior new found fury for the pegasus made him completely locked towards his foe’s soul.

He sensed where his opponent was located as he dodged the incoming kunais before the stallion disappeared. It went on for several minutes until Silent reached in close range, Night Terror anticipated the pegasus’s next move as he release a slash wave at him. The pegasus dodged the attack before he saw a deformed arm grabbed his face and began crushing it. Before the warrior could put more force he felt something grabbed his leg as it tugged him down to the ground.

Night Terror rise up to see a hind hoof to the face from Apple Crusher as the warrior was bind to the ground by shadow chains courtesy of Simba. Apple Crusher smirked as he began releasing 4 strong hoof punches to immobilise the body, followed by a barrage of 8 swift hoof kicks before finishing with an strong axe kick as it destroyed the chest part of it’s armor, then he release a rising blazing uppercut to his foe’s jaw. The red maned earth pony was about to continue until the demon warrior grew enraged as it broke free from his bind and blasted the shadow lion. The warrior directed his attention to his aggressor as he charge at the earth pony with prejudice. The earth pony tried to block every attack the warrior unleashed with his gauntlets, but one slash wave sent him flying to a wall which broke the surroundings on top of him.

‘Oh gosh darn it!’ The earth pony thought as his body glowed blue before the rocks fall on him. The warrior raised his blade as it summon a ring of energy around the pile. Unaware to the warrior, Apple Crusher created a barrier of aura to block the rocks. Sensing something wrong, he quickly punch himself out of the pile with his hooves as he escape the rising energy blast. ‘Holy buck, it’s a good thing Ah strengthen myself or that would have hurt painfully.’ The orange earth pony thought as he saw the rocks disintegrate before his eyes. The warrior grew angry that his prey lived, before he could go for another round against the redhead he felt an incoming attack.

The shadow lion tried to sneak a surprise slash only to be grabbed by the demon warrior as it shock the shadow beast. The warrior quickly threw the beast at an incoming Silent Dash who tried to perform a sneak attack. They landed on the ground as the demon warrior was ready to swing at the duo until several car sized boulders hit him square in the face. He recovered to see Apple Crusher breaking sections of the outer walls. The earth pony used the large rocks as ammunition to continue his assault. The warrior blocked it as he roared in rage by the sudden interruptions.

Night Terror exploded with energy as he flew to the sky and directed his sword upwards. The blade glowed bloody crimson before it unleashed devastating slash waves at the earth pony and his fallen allies. The earth pony quickly dodged the attack while taking out another rope and grabbed his teammates before they were hit by the the attack. When Night Terror was about to end the fight by setting the arena ablaze he felt something pierced his abdomen. He identified the projectile being a sharp gem when he stare at the direction of the projectile origin. He saw Onyx Gem smirking with 50 opened scrolls.

“Hey, despicable hooligan! Say hello to my little friends.” He stomp the ground with his front hooves as all the scrolls glowed with sparkles of gem released at lightning speed. The demon warrior tried to block the incoming attack only for several of the gems to already hit him in the stomach and shoulder joints forcing him to drop his sword. He attempted to evade as he flew away from the gattling projectiles, yet the missed gems began to follow him like moths to fire.

“Grah! What foul magic is this?!” He stated before 3 gems plow through his abdomens. The demon warrior tried to fly toward his sword while several hundreds of gems were homing in. The sword glowed brightly in anticipation of unleashing a final attack that can destroy all his opponents at once. When the warrior was close he saw a giant shadow claw smack him away from the soul bearing weapon. Before he could react towards the attack the gem storm crash down on him as it burrowed in his body. The warrior attempted to rise, despite the rushing gems coursing through his body he found several gem style chains suddenly grabbed him. The chains pulling him down as the gem onslaught continued to assault the warrior’s body similar to a queen bees cuddle of death.

Onyx just finished activating the gem chain as he watched his attack destroy his opponent while the others caught up to him. “So how do you think we execute chain striker? I say it was decent” The albino unicorn asked as he notice that gemstorm formed a large sphere around the creature. The dome of streaming gems shined to the horizon as the sunsets. “I wonder if I should have use 30 gems per scroll instead of 60?”

“How long will the gems continue assaulting him?” Simba asked with curiosity as he stare at the shiny dome. It took all his sheer will not to touch the sphere.

“Depends on how long the seals last. By the way, Onyx you didn’t do much except firing the finish blow, so you had the easy part.” Silent explained as Onyx whacked him the head. After rubbing his head, he turned to Simba “The attack should end soon.” The moment he said that the gems suddenly fell to the ground. Simba was about examine the damage until Apple Crusher pulled him back. The gems glowed and released a powerful explosion at the center of the dome which destroyed any trace of the demon warrior. The shadow lion looked at the unicorn surprised by the techniques finish.

“Where did you get the gems.” Simba inquire on the rare quality piece gem weapons.

“Well I seek them with my horn, then have Master Buttershe or Apple Crusher break them.” The albino unicorn respond as Apple Crusher laid on the ground to relax. “After that I either mark them with special ink and dragon blood to cover their abilities.” The ex-royal unicorn was cut off by Apple Crusher.

“Before we could get more detail about the rocks can we focus on the flying object in the sky!” Apple Crusher yelled as he pointed at an incoming object heading towards the castle. Simba called on a shadow barrier to protect them from the expected impact, yet it came out weaker than expected. The shadow lion dropped the barrier as the team was confused by the force. “I thought it would have been bigger? Anyway, I think we need a little more work since we could have been hurt or killed if we didn’t have Simba here.”

“What do ya mean? He only saved your butt the most.” Silent argued with pride.

“Well he did save you by using those shadow chains to drag the brute down.” Onyx said as he turned his attention towards Night Terrors sword. “ By the way, what are we going to do with that sword?” The Mark Musketeers gave a puzzling expression until Simba attempted to strike the eye of the blade as he drain some souls out of it. Before the three could comment the blade glowed as dark flames covered its body forming a humanoid body. A grim voice spoken out of the creature.

“You impudent creature! You may have revealed me, yet I am at my absolute power!” The new creature gathered power. Simba began morphing into a savage dragon as he began to absorb some flames of the flames. “You shall see the true might of-” He was cut off when a beam of pure concentrated blue magic coming from the moon shot down towards the creature. The inferno creature couldn’t withstand the might of the magical satellite cannon as the blast destroyed every particle on its body. By the little options it had the inferno spirit looked at the Apple Crusher with vengeance. He attempted to launch towards the earth pony as an attempt to drag someone done with him. Before it could reach the redhead, a blue blade pierce his source of power as he transform back into a regular blade and laid on the floor. The trio were slightly scared, when they recognized their master’s as they tried to walk away before she could see them.

“ Where are you three going?” A voice call from above as they saw their master riding on Mushu. They huddle together in fear as their master took her sword back and began walk towards them. Her hooves cracked the very ground per each step she took. The colts expected something worse as they closed their eyes. When they felt a soft furry hug engulf them as they opened their eyes to see her crying. “Do you colts have any idea what would have happened if we came too late?” They felt bad about making their master worried, yet they didn’t want to feel discouraged about their accomplishment.

“Master Buttershe, we know battling a demon was reckless, but we had to since there was no other way.” Apple Crusher boldly answered as she stare at Simba for an actual answer.

“Buttershe you should be proud that these colts had survived their first demon battle.” The shadow lion explains while Luna examines the demons remains. “Every apprentice has to eventually earn their wings or make their first step. Their battle today symbolizes growth in themselves to manage through the situations they were forced to overcome. Despite my assistance they really surprise me by lasting this long. If-” The shadow lion couldn’t continue further as the azure princess cut him off.

“I’m sorry to interrupt, but the demon is still alive.” This shocked the colts as Luna explains grimly. “Apparently the creation of this being could only be slain by its absolute opposite. Luckily he is at a state where he needs a host for revival, so I’ll need somepony to search for it while I delay its resurrection.” Simba or the colts were about to volunteer until Buttershe voice her opinion.

“You four have done enough, just take a well earned rest.” Before they could protest they saw a sweet smile on her face while her eyes beamed with pride. It brightens the colts that she seemed happy about lasting their first demon battle. However the sweet smile gave them reason to sit down as she mouth. ‘If you don’t want to clean the dragon valley dens for a week, then stay here.’ She went to analyze the damned sword by using natural magic to find a similar signature. It traced immediately towards the basement of the castle as she told her students. “I’ll be back in 20 mins and troops support the princess in her every need.” Luna eye rolled on the command while the trio saluted as the soldiers they are. Simba only rubbed his fur on the earth pony as she raised an eyebrow in a skeptical manner. “Aren’t you being too affection, Simba?”

“Consider it a good luck hug.” Simba said as she disregard the action and ran off.

“You marked her just in case, didn’t you” Luna asked with a smirked when the yellow mare was far from hearing range.

“Oh definitely, so who’s the dragon?” Simba question while pointing at Mushu.

“ I’m just a friend of the one you mark, brat.” Mushu answered with a dark tone. It made the cub nervous by the red dragon’s expression until it changed into a mischievous smile “So cub have a thing for older beings?” Simba blush as he refute the fire dragon.

“Hey! I’m not interested in some old hags even if they are hot. “ The last part was heard by the dragon and alicorn as they gave a laugh. Luna decided to toy with the cub as she played along with the ruse.

“I guess you must think I’m ugly since we are older than her.” Luna gave a false hurt tone while looking away from the shadow demon’s eyes. Simba felt guilty by his words as he felt the need to bring affection toward the night princess. He walk to her side until he paused the moment he touch her shadow. He felt strong mischief emotions coming from the mare. ‘ Oh! nice try princess, but the shadow knows all!’ He decided to test out the adults’ vanity.

“You know something?" This caused a bewilder expression on their faces. "You kinda do have some hag bones on the side.” Luna was shocked by the cub’s words.The trio eyes widen by the cub’s words which they feared if their friend will be slain for speaking out of term. Mushu laugh his ass off as the cub continues. “In fact, I will say the dragon is more pleasant to look than you.” The fire dragon felt pride as he beat his chest.

“Well dragons are majestic creatures compare to ponies.” Mushu bragged before he had to dodge an incoming magic blast from Luna. The colt’s were surprised by the sudden action as the miss blast incinerated a boulder. “What can’t handle the truth, my little pony.” The azure princess scoff as she gave a dignified expression.

“I find it saddening that a lion cub of the darkness is blind to true beauty in front of him.” Luna said with a disappointed tone. “At least our ponies aren’t blind by such lies.” The three colts were feeling uncomfortable by their argument as the Dragon snorted.

“I call bullshit, since you can order your people to say whatever is true. You princesses just say one word and they will treat you like goddesses.” Simba find this amusing as the adults glare at each other with bitter rivalry. He decided to wave his paw for the trio to come over.

“Hey Simba, what are ya doing making them fight for?” Apple Crusher asked with a stern expression. Onyx was concern about the two beings glaring, while Silent had a suspicious glare at the shadow feline as he notice the feline’s mischief smile.

“Well these old geezers tried to make me guilty by thinking I insulted them. So I fed their egos up and see if they will fight over it.” Simba responds as a bag of popcorn appeared from a portal.

In the background, Mushu was mocking Luna’s height as he made some size comparison with his claws. However, Luna brought out her astral blade and yelled in canterlot voice “I doubt having such size will help when I ram a blade through your head.” All the resident’s covered their ears from the azure alicorn’s voice as the dragon shouted. “Ha! a toothpick like that can never harm this fiery badassery.” Both dragon and alicorn were ready to fight as Luna’s horn glowed and Mushu was ready to burn the princess.

“Wait! What about the monster creature we battled!” Onyx asked worried about the threat upcoming as Simba waved his paw for comfort.

“Don’t worry it will take too long for the damn thing to recover and who is dumb enough to use it.” Simba answered as he pop up three shadow cradle chairs for his friends. “So sit back and enjoy this soon to be awesome fight.” He emphasized as three popcorn bags and a 3 large soda cups appeared beside the trio’s seat.

“Ah’m not sure it’s a good idea to let 2 powerful beings to fight while we were suppose to guard the princess.” Before Apple could continue Silent quickly sat on the chair and enjoy the upcoming fight. “Really Silent you are just going to let this happened.” The pegasus only stare at the earth pony with a grin.

“Hey Master Buttershe never told us we can enjoy this. Besides, I doubt the princess can lose to a dragon.” He turned back to the fight as he cheered for the Night princess with great enthusiasm. “Go Princess Luna! Kick that snake lizard’s ass.” Apple Crusher only facehoof by the immaturity of the pegasus as he turned to Onyx who was sitting beside Simba in front laid position.

“You too, Onyx.” Apple notice the albino unicorn felt comfortable on the chair especially when the ex-royal mourn by the comfort pillows. The orange coated colt only sighed in defeat as he joined his teammates. “If you can’t beat them, then join them.” He looked at the bag of popcorn as he puzzled over their appearance before sampling the crunchy buttery snack. ‘mmmm not bad. Still not better than cousin Hardcore’s caramel apple pies.’ The trio watched as Luna and Mushu commence their battle.

Meanwhile with Buttershe

The yellow earth pony had arrived in the dungeon as she notice the surroundings covered in blood and gore. It would give an average pony fear before running from the carcass of minotaurs on the ground. ‘It feels like traveling to Tartarus except this is a tame version in comparison.’ She noticed the evil energy swirling around the hallway as it directed to the lone room at the end. When she entered the energy gathered into a blue sphere found near some griffins ribcage. When she went to grab the orb it shine with tremendous power as Buttershe felt her mind drift into unconsciousness.

???

When Buttershe woke up she found herself in a majestic utopia. It had ancient pillars and statues of ancient gods as the clouds surrounding had a heavenly energy. She felt a wet tear shed as she thought if her dead husband had went to a haven such as this. She wiped the tear off as she focus on finding a way out some answers. Before she could move a presence could be felt behind her as a familiar earth pony in white armor flew down to greet her. She could see the coat was brown and his flowing mane was black, yet what surprised her was the face of her husband. At first, she felt happy about being united until her senses told her to be wary. She wanted to ignore it to savor the moment, yet these natural sense had saved her in more ways than one. ‘mmmm I wish it wasn’t true, yet I can feel a different soul in this stallion.’ She seemed saddened by the false reunion, but she needed to act if she wants to find answers.

“Hello my sweet Butterfly, it has been a long time?” Bucky asked as Buttershe took a shy position. She hid her face in her mane while she brought a loving smile on her face.

“Yes it has my beloved. However, I’m here to retrieve the power to exterminate a corrupted blade.” She stated with a soft voice while the stallion began to walk up to her. The stallion took the mare’s reaction as a feeling of yearning. Unaware to the fake husband, she was analyzing her opponent's body. ‘So far I discovered that my possible opponent has a manipulative nature for selfish gains.’

“Come on, it has been almost 14 years and you’re still a business mare.” The pseudo Bucky childishly said which made the mare experience nostalgia .

“Sorry Bucky, but I have students to raise and friends that need my help.” Buttershe reasoned with a shy demeanor.

“ My Butterfly, I have missed you ever since we last departed from Tartarus. Unless you replace me with someone else?” The pseudo Bucky asked as Buttershe held a hoof to her mouth. She gave the impression of being conflicted as she thought about possible tactics. ‘It seems it only base Bucky on my memories since he would make a better wisecrack than that.’ She notice a crystal flower in her vision as the stallion tried to charm her. “This is a token for the hardship of keeping our son safe from danger and avenging me from the foul dragon.” The stallion attempt to hold her, yet she slip away from his touch as she gave a feisty smile and blush.The yellow earth pony stare at the crystal as she revise her thoughts. ‘Okay apparently the spirit can read into my emotions, yet I wonder how far it has gone into. Plus, it can control crystals.’ She wonders if the spirit is actually a benevolent force or just hoping to gain control of her body.

“I’d never replace you Bucky.” She spoke with complete sincerely. “However, I would like to talk about the past if you don’t mind?” The stallion tilt his head.

“Why I would love nothing more than reminisce our moments.” The pseudo Bucky chirp with a smile as Buttershe began her first question.

“Do you still believe in that dream when we were young, my dear Buck?” Buttershe asked with a nice smile as the stallion nods while answering the question.

“It was to become the protector of the ponies and bringing justice on evil.” Buttershe mark that has a plus in her head as she continues. “Some of the colts pick on me for it before you came.” He rub his back sheepishly by that moment before laughing. “Though you bat them off of me with the paddler.”

“It was good times, especially when we trained and adventure through the land a bit.” Buttershe giggled a bit as she continued. “Those crazy inventions on seals and the potions really help both allies and enemies alike.” The pseudo Bucky laugh at the memories along with the mare.

“Well I don’t know about every enemy, since I still kill evil without mercy.” The stallion slipped up which the yellow mare began to probe on it. In her experience she knew this fake had something to be wary. ‘So the spirit is an avatar of Justice? I wonder if it has any morals.’

“Well I don’t know about every evil since some were possessed by some form of it. Even the evil blade my student fought had some innocent bystander in it.” Buttershe notice the stallion seemed tense about the evil blade was mention.

“I’ve doubt the guy was nice if he was aiming to kill your students. Once the wicked has possessed a soul it’s best to release them from their torment by death.” pseudo Bucky stated with absolute hatred on the person as Buttershe knew this spirit is off. ‘Okay scratch that it’s has a determined will to use any method to kill evil or I’m overacting.’ When she suddenly sense incoming danger as she dodged a hoof attempting to touch her. She felt magic coming from her false Husband’s hooves as she notice it had the same type as the crystal rose. “Aw, come on! It has been a while since we snuggle.” The stallion whined as he made another attempt to touch the mare.

Buttershe thinking quickly unsheathed her blade as she slash the fake stallion’s head clean off. The body turned into pure crystal when it fell. She felt the ground shaking while she examine her surroundings as the sky turned red and the pillars and statues are reduced to ruined. When the movement ended she saw a grey coated green maned earth pony standing in the edge of the arena. The earth pony had a sad expression on his face while picking up his blade. The blade was a decent sized as it was completely blue with the crossguard rising upwards and a orb of power in the guard. His body suddenly surrounded himself in crystallized armor as he prepared to fight.

“I’ve tried to do this the easy way, but you are too stubborn to surrender.” The earth pony gripped his blade tightly while he bitterly spoke. “I’m sorry, but I must right the wrong I have made.” Buttershe raised an eyebrow and stealth her blade.

“I don’t know who you are, but I shall make this quick as possible.” Buttershe stated while closing her eyes as she sync with her nature magic. Her face suddenly has red markings around and under her eyes. When she opened her eyes it had changed from blue to green and gain draconic characteristics. The magic she was unleashing made the warrior quake as he saw an earth dragon silhouettes in her aura, yet he did not yield.

He charge at Buttershe with full force as his sword radiated with energy, yet it was halted by Buttershe’s stealth without effort. The stallion was confused by the mare’s ability to block his full strike. ‘How is she this strong? I traded my life for the ultimate power and she stopped it with a stealth.’ He continued assaulting her in hopes of finding a weakness. The mare only defended from his attacks while having an impassive stare at her opponent. When he reached his 7th hit, she redirected the attack, then counter strike by a quick tap strong enough to destroy most of his armor. The force of the blow pushed her opponent far as he was about to land outside the arena which contained an abyss leading to oblivion.

Thinking quickly he used his crystal powers to create a holding grip on the edge. The crystal held firmly as he began climbing from the edge. He stare at the death hole with fear. ‘Crud I can die in this mare’s mind if I’m not careful.’ When the stallion returned back to the arena, he stared at the mare who had a pitied look on her face. ‘Who does she think she is to judge me. I’VE SUFFERED FROM WATCHING MY FRIENDS DIE AND MY FAMILY BEING TURNED TO SLAVES.’ The stallion magic raised as he glare at her with rage. ‘I HAVE THE ULTIMATE BLADE!! WITH THIS POWER I WILL GET MY JUSTICE!!! He charged at the mare with full attempt to kill and belief that he will succeed on his task.

The yellow earth pony disappeared from his vision only for her to suddenly appear below him. Before the stallion could react, the yellow pony kick the stallion up to the air as she disappear again and reappeared right beside him. The stallion covered his body with crystals to defend his body for the upcoming attacks. Buttershe unleashed 7 fast punches that destroyed the armor followed by an axekick to defeat her opponent.The stallion felt his body crumpled by the axekick as he was unable to move. ‘WHY?! I CAN’T- I can’t lose!’ The stallion attempted to get up until the mare knock him down with her hoof on his back. He only shed a tear as he felt his power leaving him. He expected the cold grip of death as his vision went black.

Buttershe stare at the energy released from the stallion as it took a crystallized nearly replica of her. The only difference is that the fake grew majestic astral wings as power flow through the area. The spirit stare at the original with interest as it tried to soothe her prey.

“I am Elysium the soul of this blade. What do you desire?" She asked as her voice sounded like the original with ethereal effect.

“I desire your death along with another.” Buttershe demand with hate in her eyes as she shook the effects off and lay the stallion to a far location.

“Why do you seek my destruction? I’m a blade meant to create a perfect world where righteousness to last for eternity.” The spirit question the mare's motive, which made the earth pony laugh coldly. It puzzled the spirit by the mare’s sudden behavior. “Is something funny?”

“You know what I hate?” She asked with anger while walking towards the fake with full intent to destroy. The clone attempted to subdue her by crystallization which force the mare to a halt. When the process was complete, Elysium tried to take her prize as she tapped on the trap pony’s prison. However, the trapped pony’s body glowed as she release a roar that shattered the crystals on her. Elysium was confused by the sheer power this mare is displaying as the spirit summon her blade form and attack.

Buttershe gripped her blade while she prepared for the incoming attack. When the spirit’s blade was in close range, the mare sidestep as she performed the Ryūkansen where she move past the opponent in a blur. The mare was suddenly behind her as she quickly turned to slash her opponent's back. The attack stun Elysium as the yellow mare disappeared only to reappear across the spirit while sheathing her blade. When the spirit attempted to move she notice her body nearly fall as 9 bleeding holes appeared on her body. She stare at the mare who was walking to her blade form. At first the blade tried to reject the yellow pony by attempting to crystallize her arm, yet it had only irritated her. The mare used her natural magic to control the weapon and destroy the crystals.

“How did you …. *hack*…” Elysium attempt ask only to cough out white blood as the mare was walking towards her.

“I hate it when creatures like yourselves manipulate others by their own weakness.” Elysium attempted to unleash a large dome surrounding the mare before her target disappeared to her dismay. She tried to find the yellow pony only to feel something tap onto her back as her powers had stop flowing. “It sickens me when a blade who claim to be Justice would force others to kill their loved ones, when there is a chance to save them.” Elysium in her feeble position seeth at the mare’s words.

“Oh yes like you were forced to sacrifice and kill for your vengeance. I’ve bet your beloved Bucker would adore a failure.” Buttershe had a stoic face, yet her eyes burn with anger by Elysium’s insult on her deceased husband as she continued. “You hypocritical mortals don’t deserve redemption; especially when your kind are align to Inferno.” Suddenly the restrictions Buttershe placed on her foe vaporized as Elysium teleport out of the mare’s grasps. The mare suddenly felt something approaching her rapidly as she dodged a crystallized cannon blast. She nervously stare at the spirit who took a mad look before teleporting and unleashing another cannon blast at the mare with more speed and power than the last. The butterscotch mare was able to dodged this one exactly the same as the first which infuriate her copy. The mare and her replica repeat the action as the stage slowly began to form a desolate ice wasteland. The yellow earth pony landed onto a piece of the crystalize land which immediately freezed her legs. The spirit gave a craze smile by the opportunity to finish her opponent off as she unleashed a final crystal blast with everything she had.

‘I don’t have time to dodge. I guess our game ends here.’ Buttershe took a relaxing breath as time slow down in her mind. She went into a Battosai stance where she place her hooves onto her blade while it’s in her stealth. During the stance, she was concentrating her magic into a single strike as the blast comes closer. When the attack was mere inches close to the mare she release the strike as it split the blast apart while piercing through Elysium’s heart. The mare only restealth her blade as her opponent fell to the ground. The spirit of Justice only stare at the mare with sadness as she let out her last word.

“I...just wan..ted….to help….eas..e...his..pa..in” Elysium’s body faded to oblivion as the stallion's figure returned.

Buttershe walk towards the stallion only to notice that he seem deeply unconscious. 'How can one be something be unconscious while being in a subconscious?' She wondered with a slight confusion onto her face while attempting to wake him. At first, the earth pony tried to shake, poke, slap, and punch him, yet he was very resilient as the stallion rest peacefully. When the mare thought he needed a painful awakening, she took out her blade and merge it with nature magic giving his nerves the idea she was going to stab the stallion’s love giver. At that moment, the stallion woke up as he moved away from the intend strike.

“What the Tartarus!! You’re sick! Who strikes at a stallion’s dick, crazy mare?!” The stallion exclaimed in rage as Buttershe shrugged his complain off.

“ It woke you up didn’t it?” Buttershe retorted in a casual manner which didn’t calm the stallion down. She pulled Elysium’s blade in front of him. “ I’ve save you from being a puppet to your own delusions so be grateful and shut up.” The stallion only looked at her in confusion as the mare ask. “Who are you before I’m going to regret asking?”

“You’re rude, but you did save me so thanks. My name is Hexed Jinx.” The stallion glared as he answered before he sighed. He was curious about the mare as he asked. “So who are you and is my body alright?”

“The names Buttershe, but if you ever do this shit again I’ll be your executioner.” The stallion gulped by the mare’s cold words as she continued. “Now you’re body is completely destroyed.” Jinxed felt mortified by the news as he fall face down into depression. “But,” He perked up. “you have become the new mind for this blade.” The gray earth pony looked confused by the statement.

“How is that good news? I don’t have a body to interact I-” He was cut off by a powerful slap to his face as he screamed. “Oooowwwww! What the Tartarus mare!? Are you a sadist?!” The mare gave off killer intents and a death stare which he wisely shut up.

“You are worse than the colts when they were young. Let me ask you this you were the first wielder, right?” Jinxed nods as he confirm the mare’s question. “ Then I need you to..” she was cut off as he began walking away. The mare went up front as he attempts to avoid her. “I only need..”

“No way.” The stallion argued.

“It’s the only way to…”

“Nope, I don’t even want to be that monster.”

“You don’t even know what I am suggesting.”

“You are asking if I should merge and embrace him. You do remember I’ve read your mind beforehand.” Buttershe was puzzled by the comment.

“Wait, then why ask about your body if you knew the answer?”

“I didn’t want to believe it! I just want to save my Binky before they start experimenting on him!” Hexed voice began to rise as the yellow mare grew irritated by his cowardice.

“Then pony up and do your damn job!”

“Oh like you would know mother who abandoned her child and never came back!” Buttershe looked downwards at the declaration.

“He has a family that loves him, so he doesn’t need me anymore.” she muttered before receiving a slap from the stallion

“Horsefeather crap! If he is anything based on your past he would loved you!”

Buttershe paused as she looked at the stallion who had a determined look on his face. She analyzed carefully to see if he would prove to her before even thinking of performing an act that may jeopardize their lives. After a few minutes, she acknowledged the stallion’s inner strength as she asked. “Did you know that dragons are honorbound to complete their promises because of their pride and life?” Jinxed was confused until the mare elaborated. “It is sacred for any creature related to draconic nature to fulfill their oath, otherwise they will receive worse pain than death.” Jinxed nodded a bit as he remembered a couple dragons swore loyalty to the army before receiving some weird power. “I am asking if you want to make the oath?” The stallion seemed conflicted, yet he nods knowing his son is still in danger. “Do you promise to take this spirit’s place and unite with your soon to be opposite? Knowing that you will be bound as a weapon?” The stallion nods determined to protect his child from the evils he endure.

“Hey, Tartarus isn’t stopping me from protecting Binky.” Hexed said with a confident grin. “Plus, you need to move on as well so I expect you to spend more time with your kid afterwards. At least to avoid being turn into me” His smile had white pearly teeth that breathed out ‘nothing will stop me’ before the mare gave a small smile at the stallion reminding her of her beloved.

Buttershe was hesitant, yet she nods as she completes the oath. vahrot lost kosaan vorohah ahrk un sil los grin. Aal mu ag ko Tartarus fah funtaas waan eruvos lost rahn (The oath has been made and our souls are bond. May we burn in Tartarus for failure if a year has pass ).” The stallion eyes widen as a dragon mark appeared on both his and the mare’s chest. Before he could question the ritual their vision turned white.

Dungeon

Buttershe looked around to see she was returned back to reality. She noticed the soul calibur orb was on her hooves as it glowed a majestic warm feeling. She smiled while placing the orb in her pouch and was about to head back until she felt a familiar shadow feline. “Simba did you marked me?” She asked with an annoyed tone.

“Yeah, I was hoping you needed help, since your soul seemed pulled for a second.” Simba respond with a guilty expression. The mare noticed the cub had something to hide base on his emotions being rifled up.

“What did you guys do while I was incapacitated?” Buttershe asked with a stern glare, which made the feline shiver like a rat. “Well, I’m waiting?” She emphasised by tapping her hoof on the ground.

“Well we were just relaxing by listening to Mushu and Luna about their history with you.” Simba lied as the mare still kept her gaze onto the cub

“Oh! I hope they told you about the time when a Demon tried to deceived me?” The mare asked which made the shadow feline nervous.

“Uh when did that happened?” The earth pony search through her as she continued the story.

“I was about 30 when I saved Bucky’s soul. I asked a resident of Tartarus for direction and he lead me to a demon house trap.” Simba didn’t like where this is going as he step back a little only for the mare approach to his personal space. “I only trusted him because he looked young similar to your age, actually.” The shadow feline felt a shiver up his spine as he felt hatred in her words.

“So you ended every demon and the end, right?” Simba asked hopefully it would end just there. The mare gave a smile as she grabbed the cub by the side.

“Yes I slaughtered them mercilessly, yet the one demon who lead me there received a special treatment.” Buttershe said in a sweet voice making the feline cowered in fear as she pulled out a rusted runic blade. It was covered with dried blood that had reeked of holy magic, several demonic entities and their testicles. Simba felt his privates went ice cold by the amount his nose picked up.

“I cornered the little guy and whispered to him ‘You lied to me.’ I spare the damned child, yet remove the thing he cared the most.” The mare showed the feline the rusted blade as she asked. “You can guess what it was by the scent, right?” The shadow feline only nodded fearfully as her head came close to his face. It had predatory eyes which can determine if his balls will live or not as she asked. “Now I want the truth or do I need to add another into my collection?” The demon only stared at his options and sang like a canary.

“Okay! Okay! I tricked princess Luna and the red dragon of yours to fight over their vanity.” Simba fearfully admitted as he squealed in fear by the mare bringing the blade closer to him. “They kinda got carried away which destroyed several landscapes, but we calmed them down.” The feline demon paused as the mare gave a skeptical look by the his words before she motion her hoof to continue. “Onyx and I used a sleep spell mix with a seal to enforce it. By the way, they should still be asleep-” he was cut off by a large tremor was felt underground as the two saw the Mark Musketeers ran into the dungeon. “Crap, they woke up!”

“ Dear Faust, why now?” The mare muttered as she activated the power she used against Elysium. She began walking outside as she told the youths. “Go to the center of the building where you will see a pony nearby.” She gave off tremendous killer intent toward the four as the colts almost urinated. “If you four disobey my order, I will personally beat your asses down, understand!” she threatened with a guarantee tone as they nod and ran for their lives.

After one epic beat down(more like disciplined by a mom) later

Princess Luna and Mushu were beaten down on the ground covered in blood and bandages. Buttershe felt the battle against those two were easy, especially all she had to do was yelled. “GOL HAH DOV!!” Then provide a beating of their lifetime. Mushu received the following injuries: black eyes, several horn removal, deep slashes across his scales, and brokens bones; ribs, a wing, fractured jaws, and broken arm. Luna being an alicorn received worse by similar injuries as Mushu, yet added: several puncture lungs, a near-death experience by head trauma, and a seal that disrupts and self implodes magic users. Luckily, The yellow mare gave an effort to heal the inflicted damage she caused, yet gave a scolding. “You two are full grown adults and you’d been tricked by a cub to fight. I swear to Faust if this happens again, I will remove your horns and shove them up your asses before letting the parasprites eat your insides.” Both being shivered from the threat as the mare finished healing what she could.

Buttershe walked towards the remains of Soul Edge as Soul Calibur orb reacted in her pouch. She took the orb and place it ontop of the remains as a giant swirl of energy surge through the sky. The swirling vortex was changing between Red and Blue as the mare watch the energy clashing at one another. She was worried when the energy vortex kept on red as she noticed the remains of Soul Edge is covering the orb. The light dimmed with losing hope of the battle. The yellow mare quickly brought her hoof over the stone and prayed. “Dear Faust, give this child strength.” She focus her natural magic through the orb as dimmed light began to brightened. “You can do it, Hexed.” Just like her words the vortex completely changed into purple as it returned back into the orb and shined a bright light. When the light dimmed, a new blade took it’s place.

The blade had a similar resemblance to Soul Calibur except the internal piece had Soul Edge’s metal to it’s shape and the eye’s pupil glowed brightly blue. Buttershe felt her soul resonances in sync of the blade as she place her hoof onto the blade. The moment she touch the blade a familiar voice entered through her mind.

“Hey miss,” Hexed Jinx greeted with a more powerful tone in his voice. “made ya worry, didn’t I?”

“I knew you would do it, jackass.” She commented as she tried to feel if she was compatible with the blade. The blade didn’t give a good vibration as it rejects the earth pony.

“Sorry madam, you aren’t worthy.” Hexed commented as the mare raised her eyebrow. “It’s not you or anything, but I want a wielder who has misfortune spat in their face.”

“Fine, I’ll keep you until we find your match.” Buttershe muttered to the blade before placing it in her dimension pouch. She turned her gaze towards the duo as she noticed Luna’s wounds were healed quicker than what she expected.

“Luna since you’ve healed faster than Mushu, you can walked while I carry him. Mushu regress to your baby form or do I have to drag your body.” Buttershe commanded the duo as the dragon revert to a garden snake sized dragon. The mare carried the small dragon as Luna followed her sensei’s lead. The azure princess was about to summon clones for assistance until her earth pony instructor voiced. “If I feel a clone summoned, I will break that horn and shove it through your mouth.” She groaned as she walked alongside her teacher.

Current Time (We finally reach the present or rather Emerl’s waking point)

Emerl woke up to see the Doctor chatting along with the colts, and a rabbit while Simba was sleeping. He noticed the area around him was ruined as he thought. ‘What in the name of gods did this prick do?’ He decided to disregard the destruction and focus on asking the Timelord some questions.

“That’s how I defeated the rebel leader in a duel and prevented an invasion.” The Doctor said as Apple Crusher voiced his understanding of the story.

“So they wanted to enslave several ponies, but you challenge the leader in a sword fight. The reason they didn’t kill you because they were honorable pack.” The colts gave a skeptical glance to that detail. “Which the guy had an upperhoof until you surprise him by a sneaky tactic.” Apple Crusher gave a weird look at the situation as he asked. “So what happened to the invading diamond dogs?”

“Well they were supposed to be spared given by our word of honor, yet the townsponies didn’t see it that way.” The timelord explained with a disappointed tone.

“Well I think those ponies are a disgrace for going back on their word.” Silent Dash criticized as he stomped his hoof on the ground. “If the townsponies didn’t even want to spare them, then they shouldn’t have lied.” Apple Crusher gave a nod as he agreed.

“Well no offense guys, but fear just make ponies do crazy things.” Onyx said in a serious tone. “Each of us has done things that we aren’t proud of, especially Silent.” That statement spark an inner fury from the pegasus.

“Well that was completely different, we needed to survive, Onyx.” Silent exclaimed as he approach his teammate. “I doubt we would have lasted long if we didn’t do what was needed. At least we never go back on our words when it comes to honor.” The Doctor decided to end the argument before it began to worsen.

“Now everypony, our sleeping beauty has finally woken up so let’s get ready shall we.” The colts and rabbit groan from their ruined break as they evaluate their supplies. The Doctor decided to bring Emerl into a private conversation. “Children are always picky on what they want, but we can give what they need. Pleasure of finally meeting the real you. Though I have to say I was expecting someone more experience?” Emerl was insulted by the comment. He was about to speak his mind until he felt unease for some reason.

“Can you just fill me up on what's going on?” Emerl asked uncertain about his body as he glared at the Doctor. He fell down feeling a slight pain in the stomach area. “I feel like I ate a tank of chilli in a eating contest, then my bowels are driving blindly towards my ass.”

“It’s probably because I gave you a bumper version of the Tardis and your body is adapting to it.” The Doctor stated as Emerl’s eyes widened by the news. The timelord chuckled by the silent reaction. “Oh what's the matter did a chesire got your tongue?” The robot was completely stunned as he got up. “Come on boy, you are going to deal with more snazzle dazzle situations than this, so my advise would be ‘Do what I do. Hold tight and pretend it’s a plan!.’ ” The timelord grabbed the confused mimic bot’s arm as he drag him further away from the group as Luna, Buttershe, and Mushu arrived.

“I thought you never let anyone have timelord tech, especially a Tardis?” Emerl asked with a puzzled expression by this Doctor’s behavior. They were far from the others earshot as the timelord explains his motive.

“Well normally I wouldn’t, but I gave you something to satisfy the spot. Basically, I prevented the cranium of yours from mimicking my Tardis.” Emerl only nodded as he understood partly on what he was talking about. “After we are done greeting the new arrivals, I will initiate the plan. So any questions?”

“Is my future heading towards the right direction and what plan?” Emerl questioned as he felt a slight headache. “Are the headaches side effects from the installation.”

“Sorry can’t give any spoiler. All I can say you will stay the same person regardless what happens.” The Doctor answered with a sly smile. He began walking back to the campsite as he mentions. “The headaches are only time distortions so it will eventually go away. I think?” He attempted to whispered the last part only for the robot to hear it. Emerl felt like strangling the timelord, if the data screws him over until he witness something memorable.

The tough dragon trained warrior mare who had decimated countless demons in Tartarus was hugging a bunny, like it was the most adorable thing to have existed. To most it would seemed like she had a soft spot for rabbits, yet those that knew her it was completely different. She was embracing something she lost in her life as she whispered in a near frightened tone. “I thought that dragon killed you! How…” she began shedding tears in her eyes as the rabbit wipe them off. The rabbit surprisingly spoke in a language everyone understand.

“It’s complicated. Let’s just say I wasn’t always a rabbit and originally a alicorn until I met an old foe.” This majority of the group were dumbfounded by the event except The Doctor as the rabbit elaborate. “I was once an alicorn of rebirth who along with our kind ha-” The time lord raised a hoof to the rabbit's mouth as he interrupted.

“I’m sorry about interrupting a tale of your past, but I need to call our last member down.” The Doctor said while the rabbit glares at him as the timelord yelled. “ Celly bring your butt down here, so we can get this shindig over with.” Everyone was confused by the statement until a invisible cloak figure appeared behind Luna as it began to disperse. It revealed the sun princess with a pout on her face as she sat beside her confused sister.

“How did-” Luna asked as Celestia only eye rolled while cutting her off.

“Luna I may not be an expert in illusions, yet give me some credit.” Celestia response with a calm manner. “I just combine a stealth spell, invisibility spell, and hidden presence spell while empowering them with a sufficient flow amount of magic.” She look at Luna with a parental glare. “Now you young filly, are in trouble for causing a riot with the fight and sneaking out without permission. Especially the catastrophic destruction you and Mushu almost unleashed on the land.” The azure princess seemed baffled by the timing of her scolding with a potential threat going on.

“Oh yeah, didn’t some of their attacks strayed off somewhere else?” Onyx Gem asked before Apple Crusher shut his mouth. Buttershe gave a parental glare of her own towards the colts which guaranteed a punishment later. Simba just woke up as well being curious about the discussion.

“But sister-” Luna was about to say before she was shush as a hoof was in her mouth.

“Don’t ‘but sister’ me, Luna. Do you have any idea how reckless yours and Mushu’s actions could have cause ” Mushu snorted at those words with absolute distain before approaching the Sun alicorn.

“Girl! We are warriors trained to fight in intense battle, so I’ll appreciate if you shut yer yap.” He voiced in a harsh tone before poking her nose. “Besides if you witness the fight couldn’t you have stopped it?” Celestia was silent for a moment as she looked away in shame.

“My interference would have endangered more lives, especially when you two were having a heated moment.” The solar princess stated with a mischief smile for a moment before turning serious. “The best I would have done in my discreet position is limit the damage by containing the far range blast and enhance a certain duo’s charm.” The moon princess only eye rolled as she guess what the actual reason could be, yet Luna seemed peeved that her sister technically win by doing that. The sun princess turned to Onyx and Simba gave a motherly smile. “Your original spell would have worked for 15 minutes at best before they would have started fighting again.”

“Well no wonder the sleep spell and seal worked.” Onyx pointed out as he thought it was strange of two powerful beings were affected by his magic and seal strength.

“Aren’t you being irresponsible by leaving your kingdom behind for your own activity.” Buttershe question the sun princess lasting presences knowing the kingdom will go into panic for their missing leader.

“I’ve placed a valuable pony in my stead for just an occasion, especially when I have to care for my sister. However, I only have moments before the disguise wears off.” Celestia strictly told the group who looked at her with interest.

“Who did you leave in charge?” Simba asked with curiosity as he lay on his front to hear the moment. “You used a Transformation spell?”

“Well the pony I’ve chosen was a last minute choice as she literally appeared out of nowhere and demand for me to inspect Luna. I was about question her until I saw a dreaded presence behind the mare.” The sun alicorn described her encounter with the abnormal entity. “It froze me to a completely standstill before the mare came and hug me. I question my sanity at the moment, but the pegasus convince me to leave before placing an illusion spell on her.” Simba eye widen the moment she mention the pegasus.

“Wait! Did she have 3 purple balloons as a cutie mark?” He asked with a suspicious tone. He wonders if it's the same mare who followed him back to the cave. The sun princess looked at the shadow demon with curiosity before nodding to confirm his theory. Fear suddenly crawled up his spine as he whispered “Holy Ligar, she has that strong of an influence.” Emerl was about to question his companion, yet he decided to just pet the feline and hold it off for later.

Celestia returned to the topic at hand as her motherly glare returned towards the moon princess. “The moment we return home, We’re going to discuss about the ‘hidden’ defense team miss Sync Heart suggested. By the way, Emerl I expect an apology from her for an unjustified action.” The sun princess demanded from the robot who would raised a curious brow if he could.

“That depends were you dumb enough to attempt a prank on her?” Emerl asked guessing on what happened as he added. “Do you want any cake for comfort or the massive ego that is beginning to grow in your ass.” Celestia’s stomach gave a violent reaction as she tried to hold it back.

“Please don’t say that word!” She pleaded with a desperate expression as Emerl wondered. ‘The hell did Harmony do now?’

“So can we get to the point why you are here?” Emerl asked as Celestia remembered what she came to do.

“Yes, where were we?” the sun princess asked in a stern tone. The azure princess having enough decided to voice her sister’s nagging.

“We were discussing about your annoying mother henning!” Luna yelled which made Celestia scowl at those words. “We are equal to each other, so you don’t need to treat me like a foal.” The colts decided to walk behind their master in case things go rampantly violent.

“Then stop acting like a foal and take your responsibility seriously!” Celestia almost practically yelled. Buttershe having enough of the sibling bickering decided to end it. Simba was laughing by the ridiculous argument.

“If both of you don’t stop acting like fillies, I’ll bring out the whip and oil!” The yellow earth pony yelled, which made the duo almost freeze as they mouth ‘we’ll finish this later sister’. The colts took cover behind the Doctor from the three mares’ fury. The Doctor took out a whistle and blew on it. Everyone direct their attention towards the stallion.

“Should I remind you three that lives are on the line?” The stallion seriously asked as everyone went silent and paid attention. “Now everyone I need you to hold onto Emerl, so we can get this shindig started.” They have done what they ask as Emerl voice something to be concern about.

“Who's going to control the Sun, Moon, and ponies at the castle if both of you are going? Harmony isn’t doing it.” Both sisters’ widen as they slowly stared at each other. They were about to tell the Doctor to stop as he yelled.

“Allonsy everybody! “ Everyone disappeared to where the Tardis is held.

Meanwhile where the muffin goddess is held

Ditzy was caged in a dungeon like area as she hoped for the Doctor appeared and unleashed a crazy plan. During her time, she thought about the donkey she meet in the forest. ‘That mule was extremely mean! I didn’t even do anything to him and he knocked me out.’ She gave a scowl about the past event until she noticed about the current situation. ‘mmmm I wonder what they are planning? I hope they don’t involve the colts and fillies in the room.’ Her thoughts was interrupted when three of the armored Gargoyle guards came into the cell for some ‘fun’ time with her. Ditzy felt a bit scared as they walked closer to her, yet she had dealt in worse situations. She still has an ace in the hole before leaving on her journey. She just needed the right moment to use it.

“Well it had been sometime since we received a grown pony prisoner. Let alone a mare into our sector.” One of the feminine guards told her partner with a peverted smile.

“So how are we going to deal with this one? The brats didn’t satisfy us well and they are lucky we need them alive and pure.” The male gargoyle declared before he gave a mocking tone on pure. Ditzy gasped in shock and a bit of horror.

“You monsters! What did any of those foals did to you!” Ditzy exclaimed in rage as the third member gave a chuckle. The couple guards found this pegasus adorable especially by her condition. Unbeknown to them, the pegasus mare has a surprise bomb ready the moment they drop their guard down.

“You must be very naive if you don’t know how things work.” The third gargoyle said as he walk towards the grey mare grip her face. “Don’t worry you will learn soon enough.” The monster made a quick cut at the mare’s cheek. Then, he tasted the wound before he lick his lips in enjoyment. “mmmh the mare taste like some sweet pastry. You two don’t go easy her, she’s sheltered.” The guard left out of the prisoner cell as the couple were eagerly ready to torment the pegasus mare. Before the female guard notice something about the mare.

“You know mare, you remind me of one of our grunt guard’s kid.” The female gargoyle pointed out as stared at the coat and eye color.

“You mean that sad excuse of a pony guard who was forced to join.” The male guard commented as he recalls the stallions. “ He sucked so bad that we didn’t even bothered draining his magic away.”

“Though his son is similar to this mare except the weird eyes and yellow mane.” She gave a questioning stare as she asked. “You’re related or something?”

“Doesn’t matter, she will be brain dead soon.” The male guard answered as he a sadistic laugh. “Just like the brat’s mom.” He gently rubbed his partner’s thighs as he recalls the memory. “You remember how we torment that bitch, then told the kid before showing her brain dead corpses.” The female guard gave a chuckle, yet she felt a tad remorsal. Ditzy decided to spring her plan into action. “I wonder how the retard would react?”

“I admit that I’d enjoyed fucking her brains to hell, but showing the kid something like that is too-” She was cut off when smoke confetti clouded their eyes. She began to coughed as she asked. “I thought she was de-magic before coming in?” The male guard voiced out

“It doesn’t matter, she is just a pegasus pony!” The duo guards vision cleared up as they saw the angry mare holding a launcher with giant pastries as ammo. Both gargoyles tried to close in as they thought about the weapon. ’What the Tartarus is that!?’ Before the guards could respond the mare shot the pastry which surprisingly hit both of them with enough force to break through the cage. ‘It’s a good thing I alway carry this thing along with Pinkie’s surprise bombs.’ She thought when suddenly several guards nearby sounded the alarm as they head towards the prisoner cell.

Using the chance, Ditzy Doo flew for freedom as she manoeuvred away from the pursuing guards. The guards consists of griffins, gargoyles, centaurs, and diamond dogs as they attempted to surround her in every possible area of escape.

The prison was designed to hold prisoners in a large dome mix with 4 long hallways that can fit Ursa Majors. She attempted to take a random hallway only to find more reinforcement coming from the north, south, and east side.

‘Horsefeathers, I’m trapped unless I take that last one.’ She thought while she took a risk and went to the west hallway. It made her feel safe as she noticed that the guards didn’t pursuit further. ‘I wonder why they stopped? This must be some forbidden room or something.’ She thought in concern until she heard a chorus of loud snores coming from end of the hallway. She thought about turning back only to remember about the guards as she scrowl. ‘Oh yeah, they are waiting to capture me.’ She continued onward as she heard the guards gossip behind her back.

“Whelp she is screwed. How are we going to explain to Lord Grogar?” A male guard asked with fear.

“Simple we just say the truth and pray he doesn’t remove our souls like the last guy.” A lone captain responds as he walked away.

“Oh yeah, good luck with that!” One of the female guards retorted. “He killed the last guy just for asking a question about why he kept Bray. I think the Lord and mule are lovers.” Ditzy didn’t wanted to hear that type of talk, yet it did make sense in her mind. ‘I don’t know who this Grogar guy, but he must be either very lonely or crazy if he made a zombie lover.’

“ Why is that place dangerous again?” A young voice asked as the same female guard answered.

“It’s where we experiment the most dangerous Creatures with raw energy. I doubt she can survive several Ursa Major mix with …...” Ditzy did not like the sound of that, especially since she couldn’t here the last part. She continued flying for 10 mins until she notice a large door. Her mind kept a positive attitude as she thought. ‘Maybe they have something that can get me out.’ She quickly opened the door without fear.

The room was actually a large cave which she assumes is bigger than the dome. When she walked in, she noticed massive figures around the area, yet she couldn’t see anything in the near-pitched dark. She thought about her options as she gave a thinking position ‘Either I stay here and hope the Doctor comes before these things wake up or risk myself through the weird tunnel.’ The pegasus mare began browsing around to see if there were any clues .

After three minutes of investigation, she found a journal, a white version of the alicorn amulet filled with tremendous power, and a green jar containing a white orb. ‘Dang! Nothing useful, though I’ll keep them just in case.” She placed the objects in a bag she found before looking around for an exit only to find a warm and breezy tunnel. “I guess I’m walking through this weird tunnel.’ She took her first hoof on the floor as she felt a soft warm fur. ‘This feel like some type of fur?’ The mare paused for a second as she merged the pieces together on her environment. ‘Massive furry creatures, heavy snoring, and I think the last guard said something about dangerous creatures.’ She waited for a few seconds to realize her predicament. ‘Oh dinkleberry! I’m in a Ursa Major nest during their hibernation.’ She tried to keep herself calm as she continued her path. ‘Okay, I can do this like the time I delivered to Zecora and took a wrong turn. Do it for my muffin.’ She kept chanting ‘ for my muffin’ as she traverse the Ursa Major nest with a serious face. It was a tedious journey as she felt hot air from the Ursa’s snoring, the random mucus sneezes, and almost being crushed by the massive paws.

When she reached the end of the cave she found a latter leading the way up. ‘Yes just almost there; just need to get up there and I’m home free!’ The happy mare thought. She flew up and opened the secret entrance leading to the outside as she found herself in the middle of the dome. ‘Buck!’ She mentally swore while every guard saw this jaw dropped by the mare doing the impossible.

“How the Tartarus did a pony get through an Ursa Major nest?”

“Wait! We can get her now!”

‘Oh boy!’ Ditzy thought as she closed the entrance and held down the door. She expected the large crowd to pull the door and attempt to harm her or worse. When the scared pegasus was ready to fly far from the situation, she suddenly heard a large boom from outside. ‘Woah feels like Dashie doing a rainboom after a dummy dump her.’ She quickly opened the entrance to see something a bit unexpected. She witness a robo stallion standing in front of her. She noticed all the guards are pushed back to a wall by the impact of the force he made. The robot stallion was based by Emerl’s suit, except it had a red horn mix with a red mane, the majority of it’s body is white, and the eyes were brown.

The robot pony suddenly released an aura of magic as every guards were pulled into a sphere before it slam them down. Then, the robot pony raised his hoof forward as the pilled guards were pushed downward by gravitational force. The guards attempted to force themselves to rise, when they suddenly collapsed into subconsciousness. Before she could ask the robot stallion, it suddenly release a sonic wave through the area. The sleeping guards and many corners of the domes had released a dark rainbowish aura, which converted into a ball of energy. The darkness converts to light as the robot stallion unleashed it towards the prisoners. Each members were restored of any physical damage inflicted by the guards. When the process was done the children found themselves enjoyed by the miracle, while Ditzy finally could voice out her question.

“Who are you?” The robot pony removed his helmet to reveal the Doctor who was smiling sheepishly. The grey mare gasped as she gave a hug to the timelord while whispering. “Where were you?”

“Sorry, I’d been a little delayed by a draconequus who helped a mule stole my Tardis; then temporary fused myself with a robot, which I traveled at several mach speeds to find you. Wait for a second.” The doctor removed the armor as it transforms to Emerl who was rubbing his temples from the migraine from being one with the time lord. “By the way, I just defeated about 500,000 henchmen and 750,000 undead experiments with just a sonic screwdriver mix with the forces of harmony and chaos, so average monday morning. How was your day Ditzy?” The grey mare gave an bemused expression as she felt her experience was small compared to his.

“Don’t mind me, since I have to do this guy’s clean up.” Emerl mutters sarcastically as he switch his energy core to chaos. He teleports every prisoner/bystander out of the dimension in front of the destroyed castle. The robot made sure all the living grunts were trapped in a dimensional prison mix with a strong time freeze spell until they returned back home.

“I just beat up a couple of baddys and traveled through a cave filled with Ursa Major while finding some stuff.” Ditzy murmured as she took out the journal, jar, and white alicorn amulet. The timelord examine the book and vest with great detail to find something extraordinary. His eyes grew with excitement as he hugged the mare with joy.

“Ditzy, you magnificent mare! You’ve uncovered the journal of the ancient alicorns!” Ditzy was shocked before thinking. ‘I thought the book was some crazy cookbook or a spellbook?’ The praise gave her some joy inside as she mental gave a salute pose. ‘Deliverymare Derpy always gets to her destination with package intact.’ The happy moment was ruined when they heard a roar coming the west side of the dome.

“You did clear the dark rainbow energy thing from them, right?” Emerl asked with concerned as the Doctor nodded.

“Yes unless an outside force entered the equation.” The Doctor answered as the trio saw a alicornfied Ursa Major came out of the door. The ursa mutant seemed to have a double infinity symbol glowing in it’s eyes. “That is not a good sign.” It stared intensely at Emerl as it charged towards them.

“No, it just tells us that we are best friends with the universe. ” Emerl yelled sarcastically and angrily as he prepared for battle. “Can you guys warn the others while I stop this thing?” The duo noded while the Doctor gave a deadpan look as they began running to the south path.

“This can’t get any worse!” Emerl angrily muttered as the ursa mutant shot a magic blasts from it’s mouth. The robot teleport in front of the large bear before impact; he delivered a chaos enhance punch to the face which push the creature back to the door. ‘Okay chaos energy isn’t as precised focus to harmony energy, yet it can hit harder.’ The robot thought with a serious expression as he place his arms together and he fired a eclipse cannon towards the beast. It countered by shooting a beam of magic with it’s horn causing the blasts to explode on impact.

The recoil blasted the robot to the far regions of east hall. He quickly got up and noticed the ursa recovering rapidly from its minor injuries. He eye twitched before thinking.’It seems yogi the giant alibear can survive destructive hits. That means I have to end it by decapitation.’ He switch back to his Harmony core and charge in mach 5 speed towards the beast with a earth enhance fist. The beast couldn’t react quick enough to dodge as it found his head slammed downward to the floor. He changed back to his chaos core, while the beast was dazed by the impact. The robot quickly changed his arm to a blade and thrust it towards the neck as it pierced through the defenses. The beast made an attempt to crush the robot with its giant paws only to scream from sudden pain. It noticed each limbs were pierced by giant rods which immobilized it’s movement while absorbing it’s magic. Before it could move it’s head, the robot disconnected the majority of it’s nerves to disable head movements. He charge a good sum of energy to his blade arm as the ursa’s neck began to glow green. The amount of stored energy caused the ursa to panic, it tried to use it’s magic as a last attempt to escape only to find it being completely absorbed into the objects. Emerl released the stored energy, which caused the giant beast’s body to trash rapidly. The Ursa let out a final roar as it’s head, heart, and various amount of organs and body parts exploded in large gore fashion.

‘Holy shit, I can’t believe that worked!’ Emerl thought surprised to see his planned worked before he returned the blade arm back to normal. He noticed the blood and various large pieces of body organs covered the majority of the room. He felt a bit squeamish by the gore as he saw it’s skull in the center of the ribs and remaining organs. ‘If I wasn’t in this suit I would vomit by the smell. Though I don’t know either to feel horrible or relief about ending a life without some crazy urge? Note to self: I think it’s best if I try something more humane methods next time.’ The robot teleported to the center of the dome as he used his sensors to pick up everyone's energy/magic signature as they were coming towards him. ‘I thought the timelord would have told them to run?’ He shook his head before thinking positive on the situation. ‘That’s okay; just move on and pray the Ursa’s relatives are still hibe-’ His thoughts were interrupted when his sensor are picked up more large masses coming towards the west door. He was about to leave until he felt a powerful barrier blocked his path.

“Oh for the love of Essence, why is this crazy shit happening to me?” Deciding on a different tactic, he summoned a giant robot to match the ursa’s size. The robot had these distinctive characteristics: a red color paint, a crescent shape horn, a face with shades for a chest, and gold mix with black parts along with wings. Emerl seemed surprised by his summon. ‘I was hoping for a Mega Tigerzord or Megas, but this works too.’ He quickly took control by merging into the giant mech and prepared for the incoming enemies. He gave a hard stare as a wendigo Ursa Major appeared and looked at it’s relatives remains.

[Cousin Baloo!! NNOO!!!!] The Ursa Major cried in a hysterical feminine voice as she furiously stared at Emerl. [You bastard! What did my cousin do to you!] The robot was surprised by the intelligence as he tried to reason.

“Wait!” Emerl raised his arms trying to make peace with the Ursa “I think this is a misunderstanding, My friends and I were about to leave until your cous-” He cut off as the enraged wendigo bear released a ice storm at the robot who blocked by barrier.

[I don’t give a fuck about your reasons! You killed my loving mate!]

“Then why asked ya crazy ursa?!” Emerl angrily retorts until he heard something that made his face green. “Wait, you guys are family and lovers!” The room grew silent for moment before quiet hurl echoed from the inside of the giant robot. The room suddenly grew 10 times bigger as he sense Hell mix with Chaos magic across the surrounding. The Ursa gave a craze look towards the giant robot as an double infinite appeared on her forehead.

[Who are you to judge dirty lover killer?] She asked with a cold tone. When suddenly two more Ursa major came with the symbols on their forehead. The one first one was a bit older and had a key characteristics of a centaur by the satanic like horns and energy being pulled; while the other had blazing wings and aura of a phoenix.

[Oi sis, who is this giant metal golem?] The phoenix asked with a protective fury and deep feminine voice.

[Maybe it’s a new toy to play with?] The centaur one asked with a peppy and luscious tone.

[Auntie, this thing killed cousin Baloo!] The wendigo exclaimed which only made the phoenix one enraged. [Why aren’t you concern?] The centaur gave a deadpan expression to the question.

[The Ursa was too cocky, especially since he lost the drive to do anything entertaining.] The other two gave a harsh glare towards their aunt’s words. [Fine! If it makes you girls happy, then let’s waste this fool!] All three Ursa prepared for battle as they snarled menacing towards Emerl who is facepalming to the situation he is in.

“ I am going to need therapy after this shit.” Emerl muttered as he began charging towards the trio.

Author's Notes:

So yes I'm not dead and the previous chapters are being edited as we speak.(I've done up to chapter 4, while on grammar.) Though the ones with the crossovers I have conflict moments to change since someone else also wrote on it. You know never mess with another writer's character and what not. I actually finish an upcoming chapter, but I needed to revise and make sure it actually make sense. I have this moment to begin derailing when I stick to something for to long (losing interest on certain parts, urging to do something different, and etc). Now I'm willing to answer any question to the best of my abilities.(Though I may type a character to play it out for an answer.) Let see should I keep the doctor longer than last time,(I've already done another chapter, but self editing and reactions needed), and does anyone feel like I should have portray some character say the Doctor better or something? One more thing, for anyone who is a specialize dragon shout is the translation ok. If not post in the comment, then PM if you feel strongly of changing the words. Edit: I forgot to say happy reading everyone.

By the way, Doctor Who fans what episode or rather event that the Doctor from my story used. Hint: This is based on the 10th doctor history.

Ok I think I'm done for now. So what to do? I guess a little smash won't hu- *My room suddenly went distorted before the object began moving in ridiculous motion.* What the sweet Jesus is going on?!

???: Now Xavex, it's only me.

I look around the room to see no one until I return to my monitor to see Harmony and a particular guest. Oh who am I kidding, it's bloody Discord. Before I even get the chance to turn my desktop off I suddenly felt something grabbing my leg and pulling my upside down. I stared at the screen which the two wave before pointing behind me. The thing grabbing me was the draconequu's tail as he turned my body to the real duo smiling in full mischief. Discord was sitting on a chair made of --- what the hell is that? It looks like a combination of human flesh. Anyway, Harmony at least took the courtesy to look normal by sitting or rather resting at my sofa.

Harmony: Hey, it's been awhile. *She gave a cheery smile*

Of course it has, since you sent me to jail.

Discord: So this is the ape that's controlling our universe? *He began to move me around as if I was a new toy for him* He doesn't seem impressive more like a bag pudding made of meat.

Okay I have enough, you two put me down I've already gone into trouble talking to you two. Besides, you aren't real and this is just a dream. Why are you both looking at each like that.

Harmony: You think you're dreaming. ahahahah

I kinda grew scared when Discord joined before snapping his talons. The news suddenly aired about a citizens suddenly turn into abnormal miniaturize equine based by on a little girls show. Citizens are advice to not panic while the issue is being investigated. Meanwhile, a cult surrounded city hall demanding to sacrificing... Ok shutting it off as I stare at the duo. Isn't that overkill.

Discord: Ah no kill quite overkill. *He suddenly grab my last piece of pie* You know this could have been avoid if you didn't tempted with fate.

Harmony: *She eye rolled before turning to me* So believe in us now.

Okay I believe, just put everything back to normal before a riot will happen. Harmony and Discord looked at each other before shrugging as they clap their appendages together. Suddenly everything restarts to the beginning of time where life first began. The siblings hovered above the newly formed planet with Harmony sweatdropping at the event while Discord was looking bored.

Harmony: I think we put a bit too much?

Discord: You right! Maybe if we fast forward this a bit. *He snapped his talons to accelerate the planet to the age of Jurrasics* There a whole new world to explore and enjoy.

Harmony: *She glared at her brother at the progress* Didn't you forget something.

Discord: *He eye rolled* Come on, can we enjoy a bit of history, while we are here. *He transform into a female baby version of himself * Pwease!

Harmony: *She stare at hi er her with a deadpan expression, yet she can't deny that he is cute like that.* Fine, but I better not see anything change in the present that could be catastrophic.

Discord: Now sister why would I do that? *The male turned female had an image of a planet filled with three particular ponies searching for their cutie mark* You are just being paranoid.
