"Well that was fun." I said as I got up off the floor and stretched. The simulation was really easy and I felt that I could have done better if I tried. I noticed that Luna and Rainbow had left, so the only ones in here still was me, Evan, Shi, Evangeline, Senbonzakura, and Faust. After stretching I turned to Faust who was just powering down the spell. "Hey Faust, can I ask you something?" I said.

"What is it Ethan?"

"Is there by chance a way I could build a house on Canterlot Mountain?"

"I don't think that will be safe, for you or the citizens of Canterlot." She said.

"It won't be that bad. I could use my magic and get rid of any debris. Plus when me and Evo leave, you can have a private house up there." I suggested.

"That seems fine. But just don't let anything happen to my little ponies." she said in a way that says 'if you mess up there will be hell to pay'.

"Yes mam!" I said with a salute.

"Good. Now if you will excuse me I have some important business to attend to." she said before she teleported somewhere else. I turned around towards my group and placed my hands on my hips.

"Alright lets get this done." I said as I extended my hand causing Senbonzakura and Shi to turn back into the sword forms. The swords floated close to my hands to where I grabbed them and placed them on my hips. Evangeline nodded to me before she dematerialized as I walked over to Evan. I noticed that he was asleep, so all I did was summon a bucket of ice cold water. I then chucked the water onto him before I blinked into the castle gardens right next to two guards. I could faintly hear Evan scream my name as I giggled. I paused, 'Damn I'll never get used to that.' I thought as I jumped into the air leaving two dumbfounded guards standing there. As I hopped in the air getting higher and higher with each hop, I looked down on the city of Canterlot and noticed that even in this version it was still beautiful. I then turned my head and continued my way to where I wanted to build the house.

Once I got there I snapped my fingers, clearing a five hundred by one thousand square foot area to work with. I teleported all of the debris into some random place in the wasteland. I snapped my fingers again creating the foundation in the area I cleared. I fitted the first level with the garage, as I wanted a huge space for a collection of cars. I made the garage with a work shop and a storage area for at least four cars. With the first level done I made a little shed on top of the front of the first floor. I snapped my fingers creating a ceiling on top of the first floor and placing dirt on top of it. I then placed a third level on top of the dirt I just put down. I made a stairway leading from the third level, passing the shed and into the garage. I made it so the stairway would lead into the kitchen.I also made the living room on that area. I separated the living area from the kitchen with a wall leaving about five feet on each side. I placed a wood burning fireplace in it, and made the wall five and a half feet wide. Instead of regular walls lining the outside I put reinforced bullet proof glass in its place. With that down I started to work on the forth and final floor. I had to make the forth floor a little crooked so I could make the roof to the third floor into a porch with the chimney in the middle. With that set in place I cut into the mountain and placed stairs leading into the hallway of the forth floor. I made five rooms up there, one being the bathroom, three being bedrooms and the last one being a gaming room. I made one a child's bedroom, two being regular rooms and one being a master bedroom. I placed the rooms on the right side and the hallway on the left. I also made the wall separating the out side from the hallway with a reinforced bullet proof glass. With that done, I focused on making the roof porch.I made the floor of it out of oak with a red mahogany stain finish to it. Then a thought came to me, 'If there is a garage, how am I going to get the cars up here and inside?'. I then made a mountain trail leading from the garage to the outskirts of canterlot, right next to the castle. With that down I stepped back in the air and admired my work.

"Nice work." someone said right behind me. I then let out a girlish shriek as I jumped into the air in fright. I felt my heart beat race as I turned around to see who in their right minds would scare me and I saw that in was Evan.

I pointed my index finger at him "Don't you dare fucking do that again." I said with a huff.

"Well you had it coming seeing how you gave me a rude awakening." he said with a hateful glare. His glare turned to a smile as he walked forward. "Nice house. Who's is it?" he asked.

"Well if you were awake when I asked Faust, you would know that it's ours for the time being." I said as I hopped down and onto the driveway.

"What does that mean?"

"It means that when we leave, its Ash's." I said as I looked at the trail before I snapped my fingers causing the dirt trail to turn into asphalt. With that done I turned around and headed for the garage. "You comin?" I asked. I saw Evan from the corner of my eye follow me to the garage door.

"How big is the garage?" he asked as he finally caught up with me.

"It's about one thousand five hundred by one thousand five hundred square feet." I said as I finally reached the door and started lifting it. When it was high enough I pushed it up causing it to lift the rest of the way by itself. I looked in the garage and saw that it was empty, 'That's about to change.' I thought with a smile.

"So what are you going to do?" Evan asked me as I looked around the room.

"Im going to put some cars in here, duh." I said, snapping my fingers conjuring a ice white Nissan 350z. I then snapped my fingers changing the hood into a carbon fiber one, along with custom body kit that had a little carbon fiber here and there. I snapped again forming a black spoiler on the trunk of the car. I then thought for a moment as I looked at the rims. I clicked my tongue causing the rim to change from their stock form to a high end rim set that was black around the inside and chrome along the edges. I then snapped my fingers and conjure three more cars, the first being a Mercedes g63 amg 6x6, an armored Knight XV, and a Russian armored Romgat truck. 'That seems good enough for now' I though as I heard someone whistle behind us. I let out a terrified shriek and I saw Evan swirl around and throw a punch. I heard Evan grunt in pain as I turned around and saw it was Ash and he caught Evan's punch with his left hand.

"Well some people are paranoid," Ash said with a smirk.

"Hell yea we are! Now why did it hurt when I punched your let hand?" Evan asked.

"Sorry Evo my left arm is made of metal," Ash said as he removed the fingerless glove on his left hand and rolled up the sleeve to reveal a metal arm.

"Well damn." I said. "How'd you get that?"

"I was thirteen years old when this happened I was just walking around minding my own business when I saw a supermarket was burning like the devil himself had come to town to put on a show and I hear a couple's child was still inside so being both brave and stupid I charged in found the kid and rushed over to one of the front windows with him and hand him to a firefighter but a gas bottle was lying at my foot so I pushed both the firefighter and the child away and dove away from the bottle before it went up but I was flung into a shelf which collapsed on top of me and my left arm was burning like crazy so I screamed myself to sleep and I woke up a day later with a missing arm and I was visited by the boy I saved including his parents which were generous enough to pay for the hospital bills and my new arm and as an added bonus I got an IPod to go along with it," Ash said as he pulled out an IPod from his arm and showed it to us before he put it back in place.

"Whoa, dude. That seems ruff." I said.

"Oh that wasn't the hard part it's when they connected this to me was when it was rough I was screaming bloody murder for half an hour and I had at leas half a bottle of pain killers but that's what happens when you have thousands of vaults suddenly connect to your nerve system," he said as he pulled his sleeve down and put his glove back on.

"Well that seems to be an interesting experience." I paused. "Hey you want to see the house?" I asked.

"Actually I needed the both of you to ask Nightstreak some questions regarding the second in command of the Templar order," Ash said.

I pouted at hearing this. "Fine. Though i've been meaning to catch up with her situation." I said.

"Thank you," Ash said before he teleported us in front of a room and dismissed the two guards that were outside. "Okay listen I'm going to be outside listening in and I will set up a mind link and direct you on what to ask Nightstreak and I also need you to ask her about her family and where she lives."

"Okay I think we can do that." Ethan said as she walked to the door with Evo following her into the room. As soon as she entered, Nightstreaks head shot up and looked in the direction of the noise.

"Okay first ask her how she's feeling?" Ash's voice said in my head.

'Okay.' I replied in thought. "Hey Nightstreak, how do you feel?" she asked as she sat on the floor in front of Nightstreak.

"Do I know you?" she asked from the bed. I started to walk to the edge of the bed where I sat down.

"Well you did meet me in the Wasteland." I said with a smirk.

"Oh well, I'm doing fine. Would be better if I wasn't locked in this room." she said with a frown.

"Okay tell her that she can go once she answers a few simple questions," Ash said in thought.

"Okay Nightstreak, I want you to answer a few simple questions and then we'll take you back to your parents. That sound fair?" Ethan asked to which Nightsreak nodded with a sad smile.

"Alright ask her what she was doing out in the Wasteland with the Templars," Ash said in thought.

"Okay, can you tell me why you were out there with those Templars?" I asked.

"They were out there to try and get rid of the newest threat brought by the princesses. They said that if I didn't go, that they would kill my family. I said that I would go and they...and they..." she trailed off as she started to cry. I got up and wrapped her in her arms and wings and comforted Nightstreak while she cried. I don't know but I felt compelled to do that and it felt right for some reason.

"Shh...shh," I said while stoking Nightstreak's head. "What did they do Nightstreak?" she asked.

"They killed my parents." she said while sobbing.'Ash you hear that?' I said mentally.

"It's official these basters have just brought hell upon their doorstep and I'm the one who's knocking before I kick down the door!" Ash screamed in thought before I felt him calm himself down. "Ok ask her if she knows who the second in command is." I chuckled at his statement before I got serious.

"Nightstreak, I promise you I'll get the bastard that killed you parents." I said as she looked in Nightstreak's sobbing eyes. "Now can you tell me who is in Second command with the Templars?" I asked while stroking Nightstreaks cheek.

"Her name is Branding Iron. She's second in command. Plus...she was the one who killed my parents in front of me." Nightstreak said whispering the last part in my ear.

'Ash' I paused,'Branding's mine.' she said mentally.

"Ask her if she knows what this Branding Iron does if she knows but judging by her name I already know," Ash thought.

"Nightstreak, do you happen to know what Branding Iron does?" I asked pushing Nightstreak away so that I could look in her eyes.

"Yea, I think she kidnaps ponies and sells them to get money for the Templars." Nightstreak said with a sniffle.

"Ethan, Evo you are not to interfere with this and no is not an option here am I understood!" Ash thought in a stern tone.

''I understand. Judging by your voice this seems personal in some way. Just let me take care of Nightstreak. Now what do you want me to ask next?' I asked.

"I couldn't hear what she whispered when she told us what Branding Iron does could you get her to repeat it for me please?" Ash said.

'That's why I said she was mine. She killed Nightstreak's parents in front of her. I don't know why but it just set me off.' I said mentally.

'I knew it would happen eventually.' Evo thought.

I decided to ignore what Evan said and find out what he meant later.'Got it.' I said in thought. "Now do you happen to know what the Templars plan on doing next?"

"I'm not entirely sure but I think they were going to use some ole Mare's tale called The Blanks." Nightstreak said.

'Ash what is she talking about?' I asked since I had never heard this tale, even in my universe.

"Okay you two thanks for the help. I have all I need to hear so I need you to step outside for a moment," Ash thought.

'Ash, what is she talking about!?' I said.

"I want you both outside now," Ash said in a calm tone that hid any emotion in his voice.

I gave a nod."Okay Nightstreak. Your can stay here in this guest room for the time being. I have to take car of some very important things, okay?" I said to which Nightstreak nodded. I then gave her a kiss on the forehead before I got up and started to walk towards the door. When I got there I gave Evan a nod and he nodded back as we exited the room. Outside I saw Ash looking at us with a face devoid of emotion.

"I'll talk to the princesses later on what to do with Nightstreak and see if she has any relatives but if not she'll need to be put into the system and thank you both for your help," Ash said.

"Okay that seems fair. But what I still want to know is what she meant by that ole Mare's tale." I said as I pointed my index finger towards Ash.

"I am interested in knowing too." Evan said.

"*sigh* I'm sorry you guys but I don't have a very clear answer however I'll investigate this Mare's tale it's likely to be something similar to the mirror pool the girls sealed off but I don't know for sure," Ash said.

"Well thats fine. I ll do some research on the matter." Evan said.

"Well have fun with your investigation. And if you need any back up. Here." I said as I snapped my fingers conjuring a phone before tossing it to Ash. "That phone right there is able to call any other phone no matter how far away you are and if there isn't any service." I said with a smile.

"I'll keep it in mind. However, as much as I appreciate the help I want you both to stay out of this," Ash said.

"Well okay then." I said with a shrug as I walked away before Evan and I blinked back in front of our house. "You go and do your research, I have to work on the interior of the house." I said as I walked into the garage. I decided to add more cars later as that wasn't a high priority as of this moment. When I entered the room that was planned to be the kitchen I could hear the echos of my foot steps. I snapped my fingers creating a hard oak wood floor with a polish on it. I also made a custom island in the middle that was fifteen feet by seven. I clicked my tongue making a sink appear on the island along with a polished wood counter top to go with it. I then looked towards the back part of the kitchen and clicked my tongue again conjuring a counter that ran from the edge of the wall to about seven feet away from the glass wall. With that done I conjured a beige granite counter top with a gas burning stove in the middle and a dark wood backsplash. I added cabinets below the counter and drawers above them. Next I made the cabinets above the counter with an arch that went above the stove. On the wall that separated the stairway from the kitchen I placed a chrome stainless steel refrigerator right beside where the counter touched the wall and a set of ovens next to the fridge. Right next to the fridge I placed a pantry for dry food and other things. Next I added caged lanterns above the island and a sitting area on the side opposite to the sink. With that done I walked into the living room and started working.

When I got finished with the living room, it had a white carpet along with two white leather couches. I decided to place a mantel around the fire place and a seventy inch plasma screen TV. I also added a red oval rug with a glass table sitting on it. Beside the living room after you exit the kitchen I added a dinning table that could seat at least six people. So with the third floor done, I started to walk to the stairs and head to the forth and final floor. When I reached the forth floor it only had a concrete floor before I snapped my fingers creating a similar white carpet that is in the living room on the entire forth floor, besides the bathroom. I felt that this floor was missing something so with another snap of my fingers I added a sitting area right as you get to the top of the staircase. I placed two short couches and a black table in the area along with a 62" plasma TV on the wall. I made a wall to separate the hallway and the sitting area. I left a five and a half foot space clear so people could walk into the hall. I looked to my left and saw an empty space so I decided to make that the master bedroom. With a snap, a king size bed appeared along with a oak dresser. There were also a night stand on either side of the white bed. I decided to add wood paneling along the wall leading to the room with two slots missing that had light's underneath them to provide light. I added dark wood paneling along the rest of the wall on the right as I placed white doors for each of the rooms. The first room on the right would be the baby's room and then the bathroom would be after that. I then made the other bedroom plain so Evan could customize it to his liking. With the bedrooms done, I started to work on the gaming room. When I got in there in was just I plain old room, but things will always change. With a snap of my fingers a black leather couch appeared along with a long leather stool. There was also black TV table that had two large cabinets on each side and four slots in the middle that were at least ten inches tall. The entire thing went up to my waist and in each of those slots were gaming consoles. There was a X-box One, a PS4, a PS3, and a X-box, and on top of the table stood a 75" plasma screen TV. The walls where covered with gaming posters of all kind and from various games. There was also a huge cabinet behind the couch filled will all the games for the consoles and there was even some Nintendo consoles back there as well and the games for them too.

So with those rooms done, I started to work on the final room in the house. The bathroom. I exited the gaming room and shutting the door behind me as I walked down the hallway. I reached the bathroom door and stood there thinking on what I should do with it. So I stood there for at least five minutes in front of the bathroom door until an Idea came to me. So with that idea I opened the door and clicked my tongue creating a brown and beige tiled floor. On the far end of the bathroom sat a white jet tube that had a custom waterfall nozzle. I also made a separate area for the shower, but it was only a four by four foot space. I managed to place a counter with duel sinks and a grey marble counter top along the mirror. There were lights installed in the ceiling that could be positioned to ones liking. With the house fully fitted with what I wanted I left the bathroom and closed the door. I then stretched my arms before going back to the gaming room to start to play some NFS The Crew®.

Three Hours Later

I had just finished the game and when I looked at the time I noticed that it was late in the afternoon. I left the the gaming room and went to the balcony to meditate. I opened the screen door before I closed it and headed to the middle of the balcony. I stood there looking over the city of Canterlot and it's beauty. I breathed in slowly before exhaling. I then sat down with my legs crossed as I closed my eyes. When I opened my eyes I was in my mindscape and it had changed the last time I saw it. Instead of a metropolis, it was a white desert as far as the eye could see.

"I see you're back." a voice said behind me. I turned to see that it was Evangeline standing there with neutral expression on her face.

"Why has my mindscape changed?" I asked as I stood up.

"It's quite simple. A new body means a new brain. And a new brain means a new mindscape. I suppose this reflects your hollow mentality." she said as we looked across the dessert. The dessert seemed to be Hueco Mundo, and in the vast distance I could see Las Noches.

"Okay, that seems legit. Do you know why I came back here?"

"Yes. You came to control your powers and see whats new. Im in your mind, I know what you think."

"Well how do you plan on me getting control of my new powers?" I asked but didn't get an answer. When I looked around I noticed that she was gone and It was only me. That was until I felt a foot connect with my back sending me a few hundred yards away into the sand. I dug myself out of the sand and saw Evangeline stand where I was. "What the hell!? What was that for?" I demanded.

"You wanted to control your powers. So im helping you the way I know best." she said as she used shunpo several times creating several after images of herself around me. Next thing I knew I was being punched and kicked multiple times. With a final kick, I was thrown about fifty feet away. "Is this all you have? Is this why Luna trusted you with her life? This is probably the reason you let Luna die. You couldn't do anything about it. It's all your fault." Those last statements she said hurt the most and I gave into my rage a little. I let out a piercing scream as I felt my power surge. The next thing I knew I felt something atop my head and saw that it was the fox skull. I then looked at Evangeline and thought that if she wanted to play rough, I could too. I pointed my finger at her before I muttered one word.

"Cero." With that a large beam came from the tip of finger towards her and I saw that she barely dodged my attack as she used shunpo again and appeared behind me. But before she could do anything I dissipated my beam and grabbed both her arms before jumping into the air and kneeing her in the chin and then side kicking her in the gut sending her away. When I landed I took my jacket off seeing how things were getting serious.

"Thats good. You used a Cero and you were able to keep up with my shunpo. Im quite surprised. The last time we spared I kicked your ass." she said as she came back into my view. I saw that she had a trail of blood coming from her mouth. She then spat out a little blood onto the sand as she whipped her chin. "But why didn't you use that power to stop Diann form using your precious Luna as a sex toy?" She may have been my partner for the past millennia but that didn't stop me from kicking her ass. I could feel tears come down my face as the memories of my time with Luna and I felt the need to protect. I summoned a sword to my hand and I jumped forward, and I watched as Evangeline also summoned a sword. I tried to strike her but she was able to stop my attack and counter it with a slash of her own sending me a few feet away.

"Why are you doing this?!" I yelled, thoroughly confused as to why she was doing this.

"Im doing this so you can become an Arrancar." she yelled back. I watched as she disappeared again for a few seconds before reappearing in front of me. I saw that she was about to swipe at me with her sword and I had little time to defend against the attack. I was able to bring my sword up to block her attack but as soon as my sword touched her's, it shattered. I could only watch as the blade went and sliced through my cheek. I screamed in pain for the first time in centuries as I jumped back while clutching my cheek as blood splattered on the ground. "You should have used your Hierro." she said as she swiped her blade to the side and whipping my blood off of her sword.

"What?" I asked. Evangeline then rushed forward pointing her blade towards me. I summoned another sword at the last moment to stop her from cutting me in two. We were trying to push each other back as our blades created sparks.

"It's an ability all Arrancar know about and use." she said as she leaned down on me.

"Well the last time I checked I wasn't an Arrancar!" I yelled as I pushed and leaned down on her.

"Well Hierro is an ability that is used by condensing one's Reiryoku, or in your case magic, creating a steel-hard skin strong enough to block attacks from your enemies. Plus if you were just a hollow, wouldn't your face be covered up?" she asked as she pushed a little further, causing me to lose my footing and start slipping backwards. I put more strength into my arms and swiped my sword cutting her arm as she jumped back a few feet to avoid my strike. I watched as her arm healed quickly as she started walking forward. She kept walking until she was a few feet away from me and stopped. We looked at each other for a few seconds before her serious expression softened. "Ethan you need to let it out. Stop holding back your feelings." I could feel the fox skull shatter and fall to the ground as I let go of my sword. I fell to my knees and placed my hands over my eyes as I started to cry. I felt Evangeline hug me as I cried my eyes out. I had no idea how long I was crying for but when I stopped I noticed that there was pink in my peripheral vision.

I gave a sniffle as I wiped my nose with my arm. "Thank you Evangeline. I needed that." I said as we stood up. "So what else do I need to learn?" I asked.

"Training is over for now. Your next session will be in a weeks time. Don't be late or else." she said with a devious smile. In the haze of my rage I remembered Evangeline telling me about my ability to use Heirro to strengthen my skin, and I also remembered her using shunpo to get around faster than I could see. I gave her a nervous smile as my mindscape started to fall apart. "Till next time we meet next time Shinigami." she said as my mindscape finally shattered fully and I felt an large amount of memories of me and Luna spending time together before that parasite took over her. I let out a single tear as I opened my eyes and saw Evan sitting across from me in a white wooden folding lawn chair sipping tea.

"Did you learn anything?" he asked as he took another sip.

"Yea, I learned Heirro and shunpo." I said stretching. I grazed my cheek and felt a gash and pulled my hand away and saw blood. I brought my hand up to my cheek again and preformed a simple healing spell. "So how long has it been since you went to research?" I asked.

"About three and a half hours. Why?"

"It's nothing. Did you learn anything about that ole mare's tale?"

I saw him set his tea cup down and look at me. "Actually I did. There is a legend about a small town that resides in the Everfree that is inhabited by ponies that are cursed. If you find the town during the day, nothing seems amiss. But if you see them in the shade you'll see that they are undead or zombies however you like to say it."

I gave a sneer."I hate zombies. Love killing them, but I can't stand them. I just seems like they rub me the wrong way." I said with a shiver.

"Yea, well that town used to be normal around the time that the Cutie-Pox broke out killing hundreds of ponies. The townsfolk were scared of something like that happening in their town so no one there got there cutie marks. The town is now cursed and no one knows why. The closest someone has gotten is a photo of a pair of red glowing eyes. The description below the picture said that the camera was found but the owner wasn't." Evan finished explaining.

"Well that sucks." I then remembered what Evan said during our interrogation of Nightstreak. "Evan, what did you mean by 'it was only a matter of time' earlier today?" I asked as I crossed my arms underneath my breasts.

"I meant that since your a girl now that your maternal instincts were bound to kick in sooner or later." he said.

"I didn't think they would come in at all." I said in shock. "Oh well can't do anything about it now." I then felt a vibration in my back pocket and pulled out my phone. When I saw the screen I saw that it was from Ash. So I pressed the call button and put the phone to my ear. "Y'ello," I said.

"Ethan that you?" Ash asked while panting slightly.

"Yea, it's me. What do you need?" I asked as I sat down in the chair next to Evan and started to kick my legs back and forth.

"I've got good news and bad news good news is I found a lot of information about that old mares tale called the blanks," Ash said through the phone. I stopped kicking my legs as I realized things are getting serious.

"Im afraid to hear the bad news." I said as I stood up and stated to walk to the staircase inside. I then started to walk towards the garage.

"Bad news is I'm being chased by said old mare's tale and I'm not really hope-whoa," Ash said as I heard him trip and start tumbling.

"And let me guess, you need help?" I asked as I reached the bottom of the stairs and opened the door to the garage. Once I was in there I snapped my fingers, conjuring the last six cars. The first was a yellow Nissan Skyline R34 that was black on the top and had a custom body kit. It had a carbon fiber hood alone with yellow spoiler. The rims had a black gloss coating and had a orange glow in them. The second one was a 2016 Chevy Camaro Z28 custom concept. It had a red paint job that had an orange tint to it along with custom black rims. The third was a custom dirt spec Camaro from The Crew.

I heard him pick his phone back up, "Yeah also bring Rage and I need to know when you can get here," Ash said.

"Well we are on canterlot mountain," I paused to think. "I'll call Rage and tell him what's happening. Our ETA will be five minutes; just hang tight til we get there." I said as I spawned the last three cars. The forth was a gold tinted armored Benefactor Schafter V12 from GTA. It had a carbon fiber hood and roof and black rims. The fifth was a custom Lamborghini Aventador that had a military beige color on its body, rim edges, brake pads, and interior. The insides of the rims were black as was the strip along the top of the car. The final car was a custom 70' Dodge Charger R/T. The paint job was a medium light brown, the hood was black and had a vent on it. The front bumper had a black lip to it and the exhaust was coming out from the bottom of the left side of the car. With that done I gave a quick nod.

"Better make it two cause these guys aren't your typical zombies," Ash said as a unholy spine chilling shriek echoed through the phone before he hung up. I gave a look of surprise as I hung the phone before I dialed Rages phone. I waited a few seconds before he picked it up.

"Hello?" he asked.

"Hey Rage. Ash is in trouble and he asked for me to call you and tell you that you need to go and help him. Im sending you his location. Get there quick." I said.

"Wait, how'd you get my number? I don't remember giving it to you." he said.

"I have my ways. Now head to the location, unless you want Ash to be a zombie the next time you see him." I said as I hung up and walked towards the garage door. I then opened it to the point I could exit before I shut it back. I walked to the edge of the drive way that went over the cliff. I looked around and saw Rage start to fly to the location I gave him. I then looked towards the Everfree and honed in my senses and found Ash. I could see him In a clearing where there were dozens of the abominations coming out from the edges. I looked to my wings and gave a shrug. 'Might as well use them.' I thought. I jumped into the air and started to fall, and when I reached a nice speed I spread them wide. I angled myself to were I was heading to Ash's location and flapped my wings hard causing me to fly faster. Before I knew it I was halfway there. When I got there I saw Ash and Rage there fighting fiercely, killing zombies one after another. I watched them go at it for a few minutes until the zombies seemed to have gotten too close for comfort. So I extended my hand and let out a pulse of my magic, "Stop!" I commanded. I watched as all the zombies stopped to my demand.

"Wow nice trick," Ash said.

"Yea, It is what I specialize in." I said as I floated to the ground.

"Jeez girl I was having fun killing these things way to kill the mood," Rage whined.

"Judging from what I know and Ash's memories Rage these zombies are known as Blood Hooves a less powerful version of The Blanks," Epsilon said as he appeared next to me.

"I get it now it all makes sense," Ash said.

"Yes. And since they are undead, they are in my power to control." I said as I walked in front of Ash and Rage and looked at the zombies.

"Um what are you going on about cause I just figured out why the blanks are called the blanks," Ash said.

"Well the curse that was placed on them keeps their souls bound to the body. They are undead, or the living dead also classified as zombies. As a Shinigami I can control the dead and undead." I explained.

"Shinigami as in a god of death?" Ash asked.

"Yea, pretty much." I said while looking back at them before looking back towards the zombies. "Can you tell me why they are called the Blanks?"

"Well while I was in their village I noticed all of them didn't have any cutie marks adults alike so I assume that's why they're called the blanks and so that make these guys the Blood Hooves the Blanks little army and I also discovered that the blanks are cursed because they committed an terrible sin of some sort," Ash said.

"Hm, I wonder what they did. " I paused. "Oh well, you lot get out of here." I said, making a shooing motion with my hands.

"Um what are you going to do?" Ash asked.

"Im trying to make them go away." I said as I continued to do the shooing motion.

"Who the zombies or us?" Rage asked.

"The zombies. Why would I want you to go away?" I asked.

"Maybe because you wanted some private time with you undead lover," Rage said earning a punch to his gut courtesy of me. "Okay I'm sorry bad joke."

"Yea, don't." I said with a cold tone. I really don't want that topic to be brought up now, it was still a touchy subject.

"Uh I hate to be a bother but the undead still haven't moved can't you just release them from this curse or something?" Ash asked.

"Sorry, can't. It was done with some magic from another god. I can't mess with that." I said with a shrug. "But I can do this." I said as I turned around and pointed my finger to the zombies. "Cero." I muttered as a small blood red beam shot from my finger and snaked it's way through all the zombies causing them to explode in a shower of gore.

"Nice," Rage said with a whistle.

"Hey Ethan," Ash said as he picked up a necklace and tossed it to me. "Looks like we found out what happened to our Templars who were looking at recruiting the Blood Hooves."

I caught the necklace and gave it a look. "Dumbasses. You can't never work with the undead." I said as I shook my head.

"Oi what's going with those souls?" Rage asked.

I was confused by what Rage was talking about till I looked around and saw all the souls of the zombies were floating above the bodies I destroyed and they seemed to be whispering something. Suddenly they all rushed at us but avoided Rage and I and flew into Ash causing him to scream in pain before he fell to the ground unconscious. I stared at Ash for a few seconds before Rage brought me out of my stupor.

"Ash!" Rage screamed as he caught Ash from hitting the ground.

"We need to get him back to the castle. Now!" I yelled as I ran over to Ash's side.

"Too far I'll take him on my bike and get him to Ponyville hospital," Rage said before he let out a whistle.

"Kay!" I gave a nod. "What do you want me to do?" I asked.

"Tell Luna Ash is unconscious and is at the hospital and then meet me there but Ash would want us to keep quiet about the Blood Hooves and the blanks so a panic doesn't get out so keep quiet about it cause the last zombie incident almost cost Ash his life," Rage said as a bike came roaring into the clearing with a demonic shriek.

"Got it." I said as I spread I my wings and shot off like a bullet. I flew threw the air as I headed to Canterlot Castle. A lot of things were running through my mind as I was steadily nearing the castle, the main thing was that I felt that this was all my fault. 'If I didn't destroy those zombies we wouldn't be in this mess.' I thought as a few tears left my eyes and into the wind. A minute later I reached the castle and landed in the front of it creating a small crater . Wasting no time I rushed inside in look of Luna. I looked in the throne room, sitting rooms, their offices and the dinning room but no such luck. I then decided to sense her life force and found that she was in her room. I rushed towards Luna's tower and when I was a few hundred feet from the stairs leading to her I ran into a squad of guards. They seemed to noticed me as I was coming towards them.

I watched as they pointed their swords or spears at me. "HALT!" one said.

"Sorry buddy, but thats a no!" I yelled as I jumped in between them and I may have tripped one. When I landed I hauled ass to Luna's tower. I reached the stairs but I didn't feel like running up there or parkouring, so I just blinked up there. When I opened my eyes I saw the outside of her door and I opened it without thinking. When I got a good look in her room I saw her laying on her bed with a very thin night gown and I could clearly see he undergarments. She looked up at my in shock before it turned to one of anger.

"What are you doing in my room?" she demanded.

"Rage sent me, somethings wrong with Ash. He's at Ponyville hospital and Rage wanted me to get you and bring you there." I said as I walked over to the front of the bed. In a flash she was dressed and standing beside me. She was wearing a pair of dark blue jeans and a midnight purple sweat jacket. I looked at her with one of shock.

"What?" she asked.

"Nothing. It's just I never saw my Luna wearing that. I was still trying to get her modernized. But now's not the time for chit-chat, we need to get to the hospital." I said as I blinked us right in front of the hospital. I started running before I heard the sound of someone hitting the ground and looked to see Luna picking herself up and dusting herself off. "You alright?" I asked.

"Yes I am quite alright. I'm just not used to your means of travel. Also a warning would be nice next time." she said as we walked into the hospital doors and saw Rage and the main six in there.

"Hey I brought Luna like you asked. How's Ash holding up?" I asked, still feeling like this is my fault.

"He's doing good they've fixed up his wing and said it looked like Ash took a tumble but he should be up and about by tomorrow but they are gonna keep him here for now," Rage said.

"What happened to Ash he had to be brought here?" Luna asked.

I looked towards Rage. "Do you want to tell her?" I asked. I was really hoping that he did, because I didn't want to have to tell them that it was all my fault.

Rage gave me a nod. "Okay, I was flying over the Everfree and saw Ash tumbling down a hill. When I got down to him I he was out cold, so I called Rage to come and help me get him to the hospital." I lied hoping they would buy it. 'You know this isn't going to work, Applejack's here.' I mentally said to Rage.

"I don't know you looked really convincing," Rage said mentally.

"Well ya don't look like your lying so Ah guess that's the truth but anyway Ah'm gonna hit the hey Ah'm so tired Ah can barley think," Applejack said before she and the others left and Luna requested that the doctors take good care of Ash, which they responded with a smile and nod before she left.

I looked towards Rage "You staying here?" I asked.

"Nah I need to get back to Canterlot," Rage said as he was about to walk out but stopped and I watched as Rage fished his phone out of his pocket. I wondered who texted him but I couldn't contemplate long as I felt my phone vibrate in my back pocket. I pulled my phone and looked at the screen and saw that I received a message from Evan.

Hey you need to come back to the house. It's getting late and we got things to do tomorrow.

'Faust, he's acting like my parent now.' I thought with a sigh. I replied, telling him that I'll be there in a few. I pocketed my phone and started to walk out. I noticed that Rage had left so I followed suit. When I reached outside I gave a good look around before spreading my wings and shooting into the sky. I could feel the air rush by me and in my hair as I soared through the air. I looked at the skyline of Canterlot, 'No matter how many time I see that it never gets old. I wish I could stay in this world but I can't. I have a world to save.' I thought as I neared my house. I still felt as if what happened to Ash was my fault and that feeling just wouldn't leave. I finally made it to the house as I landed in the driveway and headed to the garage door. I proceeded to lift it high enough that I could get in, when I was clear I walked under the door as i lowered it and walked straight for the stairs. When I reached the kitchen I went over to the fridge and when I opened it I found that I hadn't stocked up. So with a snap of my fingers I conjured up all the things a kitchen would need. I added plates, bowls, silverware, cups, pots and pans, and finally all the food in the kitchen whether it be dry, refrigerated or frozen. When I looked in the fridge again I saw that it had all the food we would need, along with drinks. I gave a frown because my favorite drink, the cherry citrus Mountain Dew that sponsored Black Ops 3. I conjured up three 12 packs and opened one and placed it in the fridge as I grabbed a can. I then shut the door to the fridge and placed the can on the island. I picked up the other two 12 packs and set them in the island's cabinets. I grabbed the can and opened it as I headed to my bedroom. I gave a sip as I entered my room and saw that there wasn't a TV in there. I set the can on my nightstand as I snapped my finger summoning a sixty inch plasma TV on the wall across front the bed. I then walked into the closet and looked and saw nothing. I gave a sigh as I walked back into the bedroom and giving a snap as my clothes changed form the espada get-up to a white sports bra and a tiny pair of black exercising shorts. I then climbed into bed and turned the TV on as I took a gulp from the can. I heard someone knock on my door and Evan standing there.

"Hey Ethan. How did it go?" he asked as he leaned on the doorway.

"Not good. Everything was going fine until I used a small Cero and destroyed dozens of zombies, only for their souls to enter Ash and causing him to black out from the pain. I feel like it's all my fault." I said with a sigh as I put the can on the nightstand again and sat up in bed.

"Well how could you have known that would've happened? You had no way of knowing, so it's not your fault." he said as he walked into the room and sat on the edge of my bed.

"It's just like with Luna al-" I was then slapped across the face by Evan. I looked at him as I brought a hand up and placed it over where he had struck me. I watched as he gave me a stern expression.

"Stop saying everything is your fault. Not everything is in your control, and you need to learn that. Remember 'everything happens for a reason'." he said. "Don't ever let me catch you say something was your fault when it wasn't, you hear me?" he asked. I gave him a nod. "Good."

We sat there in an awkward silence for a few seconds until I spoke up. "So what did you do while I was gone?" I asked.

"Oh nothing much. I added a weapons room, a security room along with a few security systems, a workout room and a room to practice battle in." he said with a shrug as he stood back up.

"How is that 'nothing much'," I said while making air quotes with my hands. "and you say i'm paranoid." I muttered as I laid back down.

"Well you better get some sleep. I feel like you have a lot of things to do tomorrow. I on the other hand have to troubleshot all the systems components." I watched as he started to walk to the exit before he looked over is shoulder at me. "Don't try and shoulder everyone's problems. You'll hurt yourself one day." he said as he left my room and shut my door. I laid there thinking about what he said, and... maybe he was right. I do try and take on everybody's problems. 'I should stop that. It does seem like it will be the death of me one day.' I thought as I snapped my fingers creating a curtain to go in front of the glass wall so I could get some privacy and pulling it closed. I then drank what was left in the can before I placed it back on my nightstand and turned the TV off. I laid there in the dark thinking about what tomorrow had in store for me. 'Only time will tell.' I thought as I drifted into unconsciousness.
