Chapter 6: Chapter 4: Political meeting

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

We walked into the dining hall, where Celestia and another girl was sitting. Just looking at her made my cheeks flush, luckily Luna didn't notice. 'Is that Blueblood?' I asked myself. 'It can't be that's a chick......unless...' I looked at the mysterious mare as we walked over to take our seats. Evo sat down in his seat as I pulled Luna's out for her, to which she graciously excepted. When she sat down I sat right next to her. With that done I looked over to Celestia.

"Hey Tia, who is she?" I asked gesturing to he mare. Now I asked this because I don't know if Blueblood is gender-swapped in this world or not, so I'm not taking my chances.

"This would happen to be my niece, Bluebelle." she answered. 'Ok so it is the mare equivalent of Blueblood.' I mentally confirmed. 'Hopefully she doesn't have the personality like he did.' I thought with hope. When the aforementioned mares name was said she snapped to attention because for some reason she has not looked at me since I looked at her, and she has had the faintest of blush across her muzzle. Ok I'm going to ignore that for now.

"Greetings Bluebelle, my name is Ethan Smith. How are you?" I asked her.

"I-I'm doing great." she said while looking down at the table.

"Well that's good." I said. 'Man this is getting awkward.' I thought. After a few more awkward moments dinner was brought in, I had sighed in relief because I can only take so much awkward in one sitting. The girls at the table ordered a salad, while Evo and I had something a little different. Evo got a medium rare steak with a cauliflower twice baked potato, while I had a small salad. During dinner Bluebelle asked a few questions about mine and Evo's diet because she was afraid the we would eat her in her sleep. We quickly dismissed her thoughts of us. So Luna and I had finished eating and were leaning on each other, that was until a thought came to me.

"So what do you have planed for tomorrow?" I asked Celestia.

"Well tomorrow we have a delegates meeting with the Minotars and the Griffins, along with the Zebras." she answered.

"Wait whats wrong this time?" I asked. I asked her this because five years before the battle with Nightmare Moon, we were having trouble keeping the griffins from stealing land from the Zebras. Also the Minotars had set up military bases near the boarder of the Minotar lands and Gryfonia, causing the griffins to become uneasy. I had to personally threaten them to stop bickering like little kids so they would stop. So after two years and seven months we finally got their dispute fixed, and everyone was happy.

"Well for the past hundred years they have been fighting each other over whats theirs. They come here every years and do the same thing." Celestia sighed, "The griffins have been asking for more every time they come here. And to top it all off they have been threatening to take Equestria from us. But that treat isn't as bad as the others...." she trailed off.

"Celestia, what was the worst threat they made?" Evo asked.

".....The meeting that happened when my sister got back, they said if I didnt give them what they wanted they would take her and do the worst things imaginable." she said while sniffling. I felt so much rage build up, but suppressed it. I know that with Evo and I back in the picture that nothing like that would happen, but it still enraged me.

"If they even come close to her," I said as cold as a glacier, "they better be prepared to meet the God of Death." I finished while thinking of all the ways I could mutilate their bodies. After my comment everyone went back to eating quietly. 'Damn I didn't mean to make the atmosphere this awkward.' I thought. After me and Luna finished our plates we leaned on each other, and I would sometimes catch a glimpse of Cadence smiling warmly at our show of affection.

"I know you miss her." I said aloud, confusing everyone except Evo, who seemed to stiffen at my comment. 'Got'cha' I thought. After a few moments he stood up and was about to leave before I stopped him by blinking ahead of him. He looked at me with a mixture of emotions. "Did you at least tell her?" I asked, but he stood still there. "Why didn't you tell her?" I asked.

"Because I don't know how." he answered before he shoved past me and walked out the room. I just stood there for a moment before going back to my chair and leaning back on Luna, who was glaring at me for blinking away and causing her to fall over.

"What was that about?" Gleaming asked after a few awkward moments.

"*sigh* Evo is in love with someone but he doesn't know how to approach it. He kept trying to go at it strategically, but you can see where that has gotten him." I said causing Cadence to squee at the word love.

"Oh my gosh! Who is he in love with?" Cadence asked.

"Twilight." I watched as Celestia had that knowing smile while Cadence was talking to Gleam about how they should get the two together. I signed and closed my eyes. After a while they went back to eating. When everyone was finished eating Luna and I headed to her room, Gleaming and Cadence went to their rooms as did Celestia and Blue Belle. When we reached Luna's room I went to the bathroom to change while she started to raising the moon. I was putting on a pair of black sweat pants with the words 'BATMAN' written in yellow on the left pants-leg. I finished getting into my clothes for bed when I walked back into the room with Luna. She was still raising the moon when I walked back into the room, so I just watched her until she was finished. 'Damn that never gets old.' I thought as she turned around. I stood there while she closed he balcony doors; she had only taken a few steps until she noticed me. A blush made its way across her muzzle as we stood there looking at each other. I walked over to her and pulled her into a loving embrace.

"No matter how many times I see you do that, it never gets old and you looked so lovely when you were doing it." I whispered in her ear.

"T-thank you." she whispered back as she started to sob. I gently pushed her away so I could look into her eyes.

"Whats the matter, honey?" I asked her.

"I t-thought I would n-never s-see you again."

"Hey don't you worry," I started as I lifted her chin and gave her a soft kiss on the lips, "I'm not leaving anytime soon." I finished as I pulled her back into the hug. 'I still feel like something wrong is going to happen soon' I thought. We stood there hugging each other for a few more moments before we headed to the night blue bed. When we got under the sheets we snuggled into one another.

"Good night Luna, I love you." I whispered.

"I love you too Ethan." she said as we both drifted of to the world of dreams.


I woke up feeling refreshed, and missing somepony extremely important to me. I looked to my nightstand to see a note. I pulled my legs over the side of the bed and grabbed the note and examined it.

Dear Ethan,
By the time you wake up I'll will be in a meeting with the delegates. The first meeting starts at 11 am, and ends at twelve-thirty. I will need you and Evo to be in there for the next meeting for today. Expecting that they are like last year we will need your help keeping them in place. When you read this I need you to get ready and get Evo as well.

Love your dearest wife,

Luna

I looked at the clock on my nightstand and saw it was 11:23. "Welp better get ready." I said as I walked into the bathroom get ready. After a few minutes in the shower I got dressed. I put on a pair of black jeans and a white tank-top. I then put on my iconic duster and stetson, with boots. I walked down to the garage and put in the secret number. After that I walked in to see Evo there, which was shocking seeing how he doesn't like working on cars. I saw that he had re-painted the cars and was proceeding to put everything back on. I just snapped my fingers and fixed everything.

"Finally! Damn I was tired of doin' this." Evo said as I walked over to him.

"Evo, today we will be helping out the princesses with the ambassador problem. " I said.

"Well what time do we have to help?"

"At 12:30. We will go in there with nothing but a sword."

"Ok, are you going to go with the one your sister gave you, or are you using Shi?" he asked. Now the swords I have I didnt get them from the merchant, I actually made Shi by having a well crafted sword and a part of my soul. I fused the part into the sword creating Shi, which has a released state. That released state is a scythe. The one I got from my sister is actually senbonzakura kageyoshi. When I disappeared, my sister desperately went and tried to find me by going to a Convention herself. She decided to dress as a female Byakuya Kuchiki(she was obsessed with bleach). When I found her, she had called upon me and Evo in a battle that she couldn't win. Eventually she died at the end of the battle, but she gave me her sword. The cherry blossoms now are not the brilliant pink, but a chrome black. I say chrome because that's how it shines. Evo has only one sword but with his expertise. didnt want a part of his soul in his sword. He said it was just weird, huh his lose.

"Actually I'll take both." I said. We spent the next hour getting ready. After that hour we had about three minutes before the second meeting for today would start. I was still wearing my duster and stetson; my swords were in a sheath on my waist. Evo was in one of those black kimonos from bleach, and his sword was in the same place. I don't know whats with him, but in formal meetings he just loves to wear it. We were sitting across from the room where everyone was at and waited for the meeting to conclude. After a few minutes the doors opened, and a Zebra, Griffin, and a minuscule Minotaur exited from. I suppressed a laugh by how small he was. After they left Celestia and Luna came out, but Luna was crying a little. I rushed to her and immediately started to comfort her.

"Luna whats the matter?" I asked.

"The Griffins said if we don't give up some land they would invade us." she said.

"Hey don't worry about it, with me and Ethan back, they won't stand a chance." Evo said as he walked over to join us, "Not with us being gods and all." he finished by patting me on the back. I immediately slapped him upside the head.

"What does he mean by gods, Ethan?" Celestia said with a stern tone.

I sheepishly rubbed the back of my head. "Well when we were in stone, I went to the astral plane and found this wall with depictions of me and Evo as gods. I am the god of death, and he is the god of destruction. Thats the reason I named my sword Shi." I said.

"And what does She mean?"

"No it's Shi, its like chi. But instead of the ch- sound you add the sh-. It came from a another language from my world, which was Japanese. Shi means death in English or Equish for you guys."

"Well that's good to know. Now I need you two to get ready for the next conference. It starts in..." Celestia said as she checked her watch I gave her, "...ten minutes." she finished. Evo and I both nodded, and I gave Luna one more hug before she and her sister had to go talk to one another. When they walked around the corner I went in the room they left out of. It was a bland room with three windows at the end. There was an oak wood table that looked as if it could seat at least fifteen people. I conjured a rolly office chair and brought it to the end of the table. I propped my legs on the table and moved my stetson over my eyes and waited for the ambassadors to come back, I was about to fall asleep when the doors to the room were opened up again. The ambassadors came back in, but not with out bringing in two guards of the respected race. I waited for everyone to sit down before I moved. when they sat done I stretched out while yawning. They all looked at me like I was crazy. After stretching I got up and walked in front of the windows that were behind me. I crossed my arms behind my back and waited for Celestia and Luna to come back. Thirty seconds later they came back with four guards. I saw that Evo hadn't moved since he came in here. He was sit standing next to the wall with his hands in his white coat that was over his kimono.

I stood there for a few seconds before speaking."Men, today we face an impeccable enemy that we cannot face alone. But together we may stand a chance." I stood there for a minute knowing that there faces was one of confusion. I turned around and looked at everyone here.

"Ethan what are you doing?" Evo asked in my head.

"Oh you'll see" I answered.

"I will ask you all one question and one question only, and it will depict what happens to this world. Do you want to see bofa?" I asked. Everyone looked at me in confusion, even Evo did which is shocking seeing how he always gets my references. A minute later the Zebra ambassador asked me the question I was hoping for.

"Bofa what?" she asked.

"Bofa Dee-" I started but was cut off by Evo.

"Fucking really Wanderer!? I thought you went through this phase already." Evo said. I guess he finally saw where I was going with that. *Sigh* Oh well I guess I could try again sometime. I looked at everyone and saw they still had looks of confusion.

"Ok you probably wondering who me and him are?" I asked gesturing to myself and Evo. They all nodded. "Well I am the Lone Wanderer or that crazy son of a bitch take your pick."

"I am the Courier or vault dweller." Evo said.

"Ok with introductions out the way, lets begin." I said.

"But you don't know our names" the Minotaur said.

"Oh that's because you are not important in this story." I said with a confused face. 'Where the fuck did that come from?!' I thought with shock becoming a predominate feature on my face. "Ok lets forget what I just said and move on, shall we?" I asked. 'I think I just broke the forth wall again. That scares the living shit out of me.' I walked over to my chair so we could start.

We started the meeting by going over the rules and what not. After that they started to go over the problems they were having. There was nothing wrong with the Zebras, but the Griffins and Minotaurs were having a dispute because the Minotaurs put up a base near the border of the Minotaur land and Gryfonia. After that I fell asleep, as did Evo. I was awoken when I heard a scuffle. I looked up the see the griffin about to cut the throat of the Minotaur. Both Griffin and Minotaur guards where fighting. I snapped my fingers to make the windows and doors to withstand tremendous force. They were still fighting and didnt notice me snap. I then threw a pen in the way of the blade, crushing the writing utensil and breaking the knife in the griffins claw.

"Enough!!" I roared. "Act your god damn age before I tear you a new one!! I may act like a psycho, but damn I have a reason. I expected to come in here to see civilized creatures, but no I get fuckin' barbaric ones. The next one off you to try and kill someone else, I'll see to it that you wont be able to do anything else. Got it!?" I yelled while giving them my Death Glareā„¢. Its trademarked because i'm the god of death. They all shivered under my gaze; a few seconds later they sat back down. After that little accident things went smoothly, well as smoothly a situation can go when the air in the room is so thick it could be cut by my knife. An hour and thirty-seven minutes later the meeting was over. All the ambassadors headed to there designated rooms. Celestia, Luna, Evo and I were walking down the hallway to our rooms. What still shocks me is that Evo has been staying in Celestia's room. So we broke off and headed to our respective sleeping quarters. It didn't take long for us to get to our room, to where I changed while Luna raised the moon. I walked back into the bedroom she finished raising the moon and started to change into her night gown, while teasing me as I watched. When she finished we walked over to the bed and started to have a very fun night.


The past week has been draining. Every damn day is the same thing, whine about not getting what they want and then be at each others throat. Then I have to step in, *Sigh* they just never learn. On the last day of the meeting was quite interesting actually, we had the honor (not really, that guys a major dick) of meeting the Griffin Emperor. During the meeting he argued other the same shit as the ambassador did, only in a more brutish way. I had to simmer the situation down several times, which I didn't enjoy seeing how it interrupted my nap. After a while I was woken up from a shout.

"Well if you won't give up any of your country, then hand over those two!!" Steelclaw yelled. I looked up slightly, to make sure everyone still thought I was asleep, and saw him pointing at me and Evo.

"Never! I will not give up my husband to you!" Luna yelled, and saying the last word with so much venom in her tone it could poison. She never talks like that, so I know shes being serious. After a few more comments that were thrown from the princess to the griffin king I decided I had enough.

"You know," I started, "I wish you wouldn't refer to me as an object, Steel." I said as I conjured a piece of straw and stuck it in my mouth. I looked back and notice Evo sitting on the floor and seemed to be snoring and drooling while leaning on the wall. 'Lucky ass, being a damn deep sleeper.' I thought with a little envy. I then turned my head and looked back at everyone. I rolled the stock around in my mouth before speaking, "What?"

"The name is Steelclaw to you human. Now you and your friend will come with me if you know whats good for you." he said with a sneer.

I rolled the stock around some more."And what makes you think you know whats best for me and the courier? Also what makes you think I'll even come with your bratty ass?" I asked and I could see him fuming out the ears. After a few seconds he calmed down, though his face was still red.

"Well if you don't come with us we will have to go with your wife." He said.

"Steelclaw you will-" Celestia didn't even get to finish her sentence as she saw me with Shi's blade against his throat. I was in that position for a few seconds while looking at the table. That tactic was always intimidating.

"If you ever put a single claw on my angel," I said as I looked up and gave him a Death Glare that would sent anyone home with their tail in between their legs. "I will personally rip every single organ out of you until I reach your heart, and you'll be awake for it all." I finished with a sadistic smile. I jumped off the table and sheathed Shi, and walked back to my chair. After my little outburst the meeting was adjourned for next year.

I lied there in the bed with Luna as she snuggled up against my side.'I still feel like something is about to happen, but what?' I mentally asked. I could think any longer as I fell asleep.

I was jolted awake as I heard Luna screaming. I saw two griffins restraining her, she also had a magic inhibitor on her horn. I was about to stop them when I was bashed in the back of my skull by something blunt. The last thing I saw was Luna crying and yelling my name.

Author's Notes:

I am so sorry for the delay everypony, I some what got writers block. And you know that's a bit to deal with. But I had to shuffle writing between school, homework, and work. So just like this chapter expect everything to be slow. But trust me i'll be working on the story when I get free time.

Also if anyone of you got where I was going with the bofa part good for you. You lot are probably wondering why Luna sleeps during the night, well that's because she watches over the dreams of her subjects while lying in the bed with Ethan. Plus since he came back Luna stopped Night court since nopony ever came to it.

Well as I said everything will be slow because I have a life as well. But in my free time I'll write. If you see any errors please write in the comments. Anyways PEACE!!
