Equestria

Thane and the other Rangers were saying their goodbyes to Krystal as she was about to leave for Ponyville when they all shuddered as a long forgotten feeling made its way into their bodies. They felt an unbalance, a dark power and at the centre was Nathan in what they had called 'Devil Mode.'

"Oh no..." Katie muttered as she brought up a screen. "Please don't do this again Nathan!" They all gathered around the screen and looked at their former weapons specialist in horror. The blood red fire that outlined his now black and grey amoured body bringing memories of what had caused him to achieve that mode.

"What made him go berserk this time?" Asked Zane as Katie swiped the screen backwards, playing the events that had transpired before Nathan had activated his Devil Mode.

"He's dating that siren?" Asked Krystal with a hint of disbelief in her voice. "More importantly...HE'S HAVING A KID WITH THAT SIREN!?!?"

"Calm down Krystal, there are more important matters at hand here. Like why Nathan would even consider returning to that form." Snapped Thane.

"Maybe it's because it was a danger to Twilight?" Suggested Katie.

"Maybe it was going to come kill us?" Guessed Krystal.

"Whatever the reason he shouldn't have returned to that form at any cost." Said Thane in an authoritative tone. At this point, Zane had had enough with his brothers attitude and think headedness.

"It's because that...thing, threatened his significant other and unborn child you idiot!" Yelled Zane, causing everyone to look at him in shock.

"Zane, what t-"

"No Thane! I have had enough of this fake persona you have! Why can't you just accept the fact that Nathan left the squad because you refused to listen!? He didn't 'betray' you or any of us! He was protecting the natural order of this world! Then there's you! You act the strong leader when you can't even admit you feel guilty about Nathan leaving because you refused to listen to him!"

Thane was taken back by his brothers words, never before had he seen Zane angry or hear him raise his voice. "Zane I..." He sighed and turned to the screen, watching the battle his cousin was fighting.

Nathan held up his cannon and charged up a large energy ball. He swiped the cannon and five energy balls appeared in front of him and shot orange beams at Nightmare, hitting him head on. Nathan then charged forward and slammed his fist into Nightmares face, sending a huge wave of energy with the punch.

Nightmare staggered before launching multiple huge tendrils at the warbot. Nathan quickly batted them away with punches if blinding speeds. He then charged another energy ball before leaping into the air and throwing it to the ground, causing a compressed nuclear explosion that was contained by a small energy field. He then fell down onto the injured Nightmare and stomped him with his giant feet.

Nightmare grabbed Nathan by the arm and started slamming him into the ground multiple times before summoning a large ball of dark magic and bringing it down onto the warbot. Nathan leapt out of the blast and pulled out the RYNO V which now was jet black and the gun mussels were seeping red mist. He aimed at Nightmare and pulled the trigger, sending a huge wave of glowing red bullets and missiles at his opponent.

Nightmare staggered before charging the warbot. The then began a battle of strength as they each tried to push the other over the edge of the platform. Their hands were interlocked, but with one of Nathan's arms being a cannon he could still attack. He fired a beam into Nightmares palm and smacked him across the face with it. He then held the monster down and rapidly shot him in the chest with powerful lasers.

Nightmare roared and pushed Nathan off of him, he then leapt to the edge of the platform and began charging one last final attack in the form of a huge ball of dark energy and it only continued to grow. "SAY GOODBYE TO ALL YOU HOLD DEAR WARBOT!!! BECAUSE ONCE I FINISH YOU I'M GOING STRAIGHT AFTER YOUR PARTNER AND CHILD!!!"

This only added more wood the the bonfire that was Nathan's rage, which in turn increased his power. He then placed his hand over his cannon mussel and started charging his own attack. The two stared each other down before launching huge lasers at the other which collided and started forming a ball of conflicting energies. The two poured more and more energy into their attacks.

Nathan closed his eyes and started to look deep for any emotional connection he could find. 'Sonata...Twilight...Sunset...Celestia...Luna...Girls...Zane...Krystal...Katie...Thane...Solid...Starswirl...My Child...Scorpan...I will protect you and your memory!' His fire burner brighter and he began walking towards Nightmare slowly, pushing the ball of energy towards his foe as he went. 'I will protect what I have...I've lost too much already...I will not allow a repeat of the golden suits incident!'

Three streams of red energy shot out of Nathan's back and added to his attack. "NO!!! How are you this powerful all of a sudden?!?!"

Nathan stared at him. "Memories." With one final push Nathan launched his attack forward and the ball of conflicting energies swallowed Nightmare.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" The energy started destroying Nightmare, turning him into purple mist. The energy ball exploded. Nathan fell to his knees and the Devil Mode deactivated. He looked up to see the two types of energies absorbing the purple mist. The energies turned blue and yellow. Both separated and formed two small figures.

The glowing figures gently floated to the ground and lay on their sides. The glow died down and revealed two small children. One was a boy with bright yellow hair, three freckles under each golden eye, he was wearing a yellow jacket, yellow jeans and yellow sneakers, he looked no more than nine years old. The other was a girl with long sapphire blue hair and eyes. She wore a small blue dress with patterns of white flowers and wore blue slippers. Again only looking around nine years old.

"What in the world?" Nathan sat down and watched the two carefully as they slowly sat up. They rubbed their eyes and yawned. They looked around confused before laying eyes on him. He was about to say hi when he was asked a question that he did not expect to hear.

"Daddy?"

He was completely taken back by what the little girl had said.

"Are you our daddy?"

He heard the sound of a portal opening and turned around to see Roden walking to him. The children noticed Roden and ran behind Nathan to hide. "Roden, do you know something about this?"

Roden sighed and nodded. "I do. When a Nightmare is destroyed it turns into purple mist and then into a small purple orb. With that blast of two opposite energies separating, the life force of the Nightmare was absorbed by the two energies and gave life to two new beings, created from your energy. The girl is made from your negative energy, and the boy is positive. They are your children now."

Nathan couldn't form words. He turned back to look at the children who were hugging his back for protection. "It's alright little ones, he's a friend." He said in a slightly unsure voice. The two trusted his word and walked around and sat in Nathan's lap. Roden looked up to Nathan and nodded.

"Take good care of them, I have altered a few things so that they recognise Sonata as their mother, they can turn into ponies, humans or rangers. I must be going now." With that Roden stepped through a portal, leaving Nathan to get familiar with the two children.

"Hello there little ones, what are your names?" He asked in a calm soothing voice. The girl looked up to him and smiled softly.

"I'm Sapphire."

Nathan looked to the boy who was twiddling his thumbs.

"Um...I'm...Lyric."

"Well then, it's lovely to meet you children."

"It's nice to meet you too daddy." Sapphire walked up to his eye and hugged it, Lyric following his sister's actions. Nathan felt a great sense of pride and fulfilment with them calling him their father. He put his hand up to them and held them close.

"Come on, let's go see mommy." Both of the children smiled as Nathan led them through a portal. 'Looks like the baby will have some older siblings to play with.'

Author's Notes:

Yeah I was a bit concerned with doing Sapphire and Lyric, since my friend a Prince_Zodiac had done something similar with his displaced

I had opted for Sonata being pregnant to be how Nathan got his wish, but I just couldn't leave these two out, so Nathan will have three children
