[Shalltear’s Room]

“Fucking assholes, every last one of them.” Shalltear said as she turn the TV on in her room. “All I want is the beat the hell out of Celestia, is that so much to ask? But no, I have to deal with these idiots that keep getting in my way.” In her frustration, Shalltear kicked her own bed as a small green gem fell onto the floor. “The hell is this?” She said as she levitated the gem close to her.

As soon as she held it in her hand, it started to glow blue as Shalltear heard a voice. “I am Asphyxious the Iron Lich. If you need my aid just take this token and call my name.”

“....Great a displaced token.” Shalltear said as she open the window to her room open, and tossed it outside. “I don’t need someone who might get in the way of my revenge.” Just as she was about to close the window, a portal appeared right near the doorway of her room. “Dammit, I not in the mood for this shit.” She said as man with a dragon tail walked out of the open portal. He had what looked like armor on and a eye patch. He looked around before saying this.

“Where have I ended up this time?”

“Whoever the fuck you are, get lost. I’m not in the mood to deal with a displaced human at the moment.” Shalltear said as she glared at the man.

“Okay, but can I at least get your name before I’m attacked?” He asked as he raised his hands up.

“Shalltear, not leave before I use you as a bath towel by ripping your skin off.” She said as she went back to watching TV.

“...Okay, I’m Asphyxious. Something tell me you pissed about something… Want to talk about it?” Asphyxious asked as he stay where he was looking around the room.

“I don’t need to talk. All I need is to beat the living hell out of Celestia, and I’ll be fine.”

“Let me guess she locked you away for a 1000 years right?” He asked as Asphyxious crosses his arms. Shalltear’s facial expression darken as she tossed her journal at him. He caught it and looked at the book in his hand.

“Take a good long look at it, and you’ll see why I want to make her pay.” She said as she grabbed a bat plushie for comfort. “Sunbutt is going to be my bitch once I finish teaching her a lesson.” Asphyxious looked at Shalltear then at the journal. He then sat on the floor and started to read. It took him over two hours to read it all he then slammed the book shut.

“I can understand why you're angry, But tell me what would you get from hurting Sunbutt? From what I readed she was not the one who did these things to you. And the one who did is long dead.” said Asphyxious as he put the journal down by his side. “But for what happened I agree the slap on the wrist was to light, but killing him. No I have a better idea, where his grave?”

“Don’t know, don’t care. All I want is for Celestia to pay for letting this happen to me. Trustworthy pony my ass, she to naive and stupid to tell who’s good and who’s bad.” Asphyxious then walked up to Shalltear and took her hand.

“Then I say let go find him and ask him what he thinks.” Asphyxious said as he leads Shalltear out of her room. And two ghosts of diamond dogs appear by his side. “All we need is a name and they can find him. Well?” Asphyxious asked as he looked back at her. He had the look of someone who knew pain and suffering.

[Maximize Magic! Brilliant Radiant!] Shalltear said as she Asphyxious was engulfed in a pillar of light. The hall they walked down was turned into a runed mass. Just as Shalltear thought he was dead she heard laughing.

“Hmhmhm, Hehe, HAHAHAHAHA! That hurt like hell! Why didn’t you tell me you wanted a fight!” Asphyxious yelled as he walked out of the smoke covered in burn marks and blood was dripping from his face.

“My anger is only towards Celestia and her alone. I don’t need to go after someone that I already killed. Now stay the hell out of my way of me and Celestia.”

“So that’s it then? You just having a tantrum because you were locked away. Let me ask you something. Did you know what was happening whiles you was locked away?” Asphyxious asked as he drawed his cutlass.  

“Celestia stoned or imprison 3,456 other monsters likes me that appeared here in this world while I was locked away.”

“I didn’t ask that… I’m asking was you aware when you was imprisoned?” Asphyxious asked again sounding oddly calm.

“Yes, I was.” Asphyxious walked up to Shalltear and looked at her. He reached out with a hand for her to take it.

“I know what it like, for your mind to fall apart as you know you have no way out.” He said looking sadly at her.

“Yeah well you didn’t have to relive the same nightmare over and over again.” Shalltear said still glaring at him. “Now fuck off, I have important stuff to plan once my sister leaves.” Asphyxious appeared behind and hugged her.

“It okay, you have nothing to fear anymore. You won't be hurt if you cry or feel sad or feel fear. Your suffering Shalltear, I want to help you.” said Asphyxious as he just stands there hugging the vampire.

“Cut the emotional crap.” Shalltear said as she teleported away from Asphyxious. “I have no more tears to spare. Now if you don’t mind I have someone to go meet with.”  

“Mind if I tag along? I won’t get in the way.” said Asphyxious as he rest’s the cutlass on his shoulder.

“No.” With that she teleported off towards the Castle of the royal sister.

(Castle of the Royal Sister)

        Moments after leaving Asphyxious back in Ponyville. Shalltear appeared in the throne room of the former home of Celestia and Luna. The Countess quickly looked around to make sure she wasn’t followed as she notice a figure in the distance.

“Were you followed?” The figure asked.

“Were you?”

“Hopefully.” The figure said as she walked from out of the shadow. “It’s hard to keep yourself from being notice when you’re trying not to make yourself be notice.”

“For a Hinezumi. It kinda makes sense seeing how you have fire on your wrist and ankles.”

“Whatever, anyway the king wanted me to give you this when you choose to fight against Celestia.” The Hinezumi said as she handed the countess a oddly colored veil. “This should give you a fair advantage against her, so you’ll both be on even levels.”

“Perfect.” Shalltear said as she levitated the veil to herself. “Now to place this in her tea or something, and I’ll have my revenge on her soon enough.”

“You sure you want to do something like this? Not that I’m judging you or anything, but wouldn’t this cause some problems between monsters and ponies?”

“I’m pretty sure they’ll be pissed off at me more than you monsters. And besides, Celestia is fucking pansy. She’s not that stupid to cause a war between ponies and monsters. If I can’t get her to drink this stuff, then I’ll use my lance to do the job for me.”

“And what happens if Celestia ponies go to war without her?” Asked a deep voice from the shadows.

“I thought you said you weren’t followed?” asked Shalltear as she summoned her lance into her hand.

“I made sure I wasn’t followed. Maybe you forgot to make sure no one was following you?” said Hinezumi.

“Now now no need to be upset, after all Shalltear was the one who summoned me. Remember how you blasted me with all that magic?” The voice asked as a breath of blue fire showed off the Lich’s out line and metal body. “Tell me you didn’t forget my name already?”

“I thought I told you to leave me alone and fuck off?”

“And miss you starting a war? Why would I miss that? I mean it not like there are other dangers in the world that could come along. I mean what to stop some insane displaced from showing up and turning this world into hell?” Asphyxious asked as he moves into the light. “I have seen many evils and sometimes think of myself as one of them.”

Asphyxious then went off to a wall and ran his metal fingers over the stone. “I will not stop you, but if you have nowhere else to turn I can offer you some place safe to stay. Or hide in guilt, it’s up to you.”

“I don’t need your help bonehead.” Asphyxious growled as he moved over to Shalltear and towered over her.

“Then show me you don’t, and not fight Celestia. If she as weak as you say her own ponies will be her downfall.” Said Asphyxious as he stared into her eyes. “I want to help you but you're too blind to see that. All I can do is slow you down but in the end if you kill her what do you think will happen?”

“I’m not going to kill her. I’m just going to beat all my anger out on her so she’ll end up in the hospital.” Shalltear said as her eyes glowed scarlet red. “You can trust me, can’t you? Especially for a pretty lady like myself can’t you~?”

Asphyxious let out a soft growl as he turned back into his human form and smiled at her. “I think I could if you do one thing for me~” He purred to her. “Join my hoard~” Asphyxious asked as he slowly wrapped his arms around Shalltear.

“Sorry, but I’m into dragon hoarders.” Shalltear said as she looked into Asphyxious’s eye. “Now look into my eyes, and obey your new master puppet.” Asphyxious then did something that shocked Shalltear, he kissed her. “What the hell!?”

Asphyxious shook his head and looked at her, He then blushed at Shalltear and let go. “Sorry! I thought I had that under control! I got a little lost there and was acting on my dragon instincts. Sorry…”  

“.......Hinezum.”

“I have a name you know? It’s Aris.”

“Whatever, how many of these magic dampeners do you have?”

“A few, why?”

“Because I’m gonna have to use one on this pervert for what he just did.”

“It not my fault!” Said Asphyxious as he started hitting his head on the stone wall. “Wait… You said you liked dragons?” He asked looking at Shalltear.

“I never said that you idiot. Now hold still while I beat the living shit out of you.” Shalltear said as she slowly walked towards Asphyxious while cracking her knuckles. “A weakling like you will do as a punching bag.”

Asphyxious laughed at that. “Me weak? Let see if your right?” He then transformed into a 16 foot tall author dragon. He growled softly at Shalltear and looked at her up and down.

“......Maybe you shouldn’t fight him.” Aris suggested, only for Shalltear to hit him with a lightning spell to the face.

“Ha! Take that you perverted freak!” Just as she finished a large clawed hand grabbed her and slammed Shalltear into the stone floor.

“Stop this or I’ll have to hurt you and I don’t want to.” said Asphyxious as he towers over her.

“Good luck with that fool! [Maximize Magic! Roaring Dark Lightning!]” The countess said as she appeared behind the dragon and struck from behind. Asphyxious roared in pain before swinging his tail at her and sent Shalltear flying into the old thorns.

“I woulder.” Asphyxious said as he slowly walked over to the dust cloud. Only for his eye to widen seeing a sword sticking out of the countess abdomen. “Who there!” He roared and spread his large wings. “Release her at once or I’ll burn down this whole forest to kill you!”

“You caused it idiot.” Aris said as she appeared on a stone pillar. “You knocked her through a wall and she was impaled by that statue of Celestia holding a sword.”

“Well… Talk about irony.”

“I-It hurts…..” Shalltear said as tears began to fall from her eyes. “Make the pain stop mommy….it hurts all over….make it stop.” She said as Asphyxious walked over and carefully pulled Shalltear off the statue and held her in his arms.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you like this. Do you want my blood.” He asked calmly as he looked down at her. Shalltear said nothing as she curled herself up, and began to mutter something that he couldn’t make out. Asphyxious held her to his large neck and try to hear what she was saying.

“I’ll be good master, please don’t hurt me anymore.” Asphyxious moved her head and mouth to his neck. “Drink Shalltear you have no master and you’re good. No one will hurt you as long as I draw breath.” He said softly as he felt her fangs bite into his neck.

“What’s this? The Countess of Blood having a mental break down?” said Nightmare Moon as she appeared on the wall like a shadow. “This is interesting, I never imagine my puppet to have something like this.”

“Leave before I decide to eat you little shadow.” Asphyxious growled holding Shalltear close. As bone like blades come out from between the armored scales in his arms. “I can do more than breath fire. I can destroy your link to this place and her.”

“Oh I’m so scared of a monster like you. I wouldn’t suggest doing that unless you want the monsters I have suffer a fate worse than death?”

“I already have, I do not fear, you but you should fear me. I am Asphyxious Hellbringer, The dragon of Instinct, and you have no power here. Only on those who believe you’ll give them power.”  Asphyxious said as smoke came out of his mouth.

“And you’re a good guy, which means you not that stupid to attack somepony who have hostages with them.” Asphyxious opens his mouth as blue fire started to draw up from his neck.

“Let’s hear her out first before you do something stupid.” Aris said.

“There nothing stupid about killing and eating her.” Asphyxious growled.

“True, but even you’re not that heartless when it come to the lives of the innocent right?” Asphyxious only growled but waited to hear Nightmare moon out.

“Good, glad to hear someone is reasonable. Now then, onto business. I have some of the monsters that Celestia sealed away long ago, and I’m pretty much having some fun with them.”

“Show us.” asked Asphyxious as he growled. “If they don’t show up I know your lying and I can kill you.”

Nightmare Moon’s horn glowed as she screen appeared with monsters being locked up in cages, or chained against a wall. “Still don’t believe me fool?”

“How do we know these aren’t faked or there even still alive? For all I know you're just putting on a show because you're scared of losing Shalltear?” Asked Asphyxious.

“It’s not a fake.” Aris said as she looked at the screen to see a mouse girl locked in a cage. “Because one of them is my sister, and Nightmare Moon never even seen her.”

“Oh, so that mouse girl is related to you? That would explain why she keeps on saying that you would come and save her.”

“You son of a bitch!”

“No duh hot head.”

“No more games, Tell us where they are or so help me I’ll take your soul and give it to Toruk!” Asphyxious growled as flames licked at the sides of his mouth.

“You seem to be forgetting that I’m in control of the situation fool. With just a snap of a finger, I can kill these freaks without even trying. So unless you want these kid’s parents to go to their funnels, then I suggest you don’t make anymore threats around me, got it?”

Asphyxious didn’t say anything as he try to find out where they are without nightmare knowing. There was one idea but it’ll take some time.

“Oh and if you try to use some kind of magic of magic that would teleport them out, or try to track them down. The collars around their neck will explode and kill them.”

“I see, good thing I didn’t try that thanks for letting me know.” said Asphyxious as he felt Shalltear move.

“What are your demands?” The countess asked.

“You, in exchange I’ll release all the monsters I have and remove the collars I have around them.” Asphyxious turned to Shalltear and whispered into her ear.

“I can find them with some help from some friends of mine, but if your apart of my hoard I can track you down anywhere. If you go I will find you.”

“......I need you to do something for me, and relay a message to Celestia.” Shalltear whispered as she moved in closer to Asphyxious. He listened and slowly nods.

“I will do as you asked.” Asphyxious said as he slowly put her down.

“Tell her that I’m sorry and that I forgive her for what she did to me.” Shalltear moved away from Asphyxious as she moved towards Nightmare Moon.

“I have one thing to ask Shalltear, about before would you.” Asphyxious asked hopping she understand his meaning.

Shalltear turned around with a melancholy smile on her face. “Sorry, but I already have a family that I joined a while back…..though I do wish they visit me more often.”

“I will find you!” He roared as he fly off into the night sky. But kept watch over them.

“So….do we have a deal, Countess?” Shalltear looked back at Aris, who had a mixed expression on her face, then back a Nightmare Moon and nodded yes in agreement. “Good, I’m glad you took up my offer.” Nightmare Moon said as she snapped her finger, causing the monsters in the dungeon to vanish. “The monsters have been teleport to Canterlot, mainly the throne room. Now all you have to do is jump through the screen, and you’ll be in my castle for me to have you to myself.”

“Yeah, yeah, I know how this works.” Shalltear said as she secretly levitated the veil that Aris gave behind her back, and walked through the portal. Before she reached the end, Shalltear could hear Asphyxious voice. “I will find you, stay strong no matter what you face.” 

“Easy for you to say, you’re not the one she’s after.”

“Oh Shalltear I’m so happy you could join me, tell me what should I do to you now?” Nightmare Moon asked as she smiled at her.

“I wouldn’t be so smug if I were you Moonbutt.”

“That master to you.” Nightmare said as she stands up and walked up to Shalltear. “Hmm I don’t think that will do, take it off.”

“Take what off?”

“Why your dress how will I discipline you if you're wearing that?” Nightmare Moon asked as she pulled out a wipe.

“I’m not taking my dress off, but I would be more worry about what I’m gonna do to you seeing how I have you right where I want you.”

“I don’t think so… Sit!” Nightmare Moon ordered and Shalltear reacted to the sharp tone in her voice and did so. “See that wasn’t so hard now was it?”

“Just by your time Shalltear, all you have to do is hit her with the veil and you’ll have the advantage over….wait a minute….where did the veil go?” The countess said as she tried to figure out where it went, only to feel a sharp pain hit her neck. “What the hell!?”

“You’re mine now Shalltear and I’ll never let you get away.” Nightmare purred as she held the chain to Shalltear coller. “Now do as your master say and, S.T.R.I.P.”

“I don’t take orders from a shadow. Especially one that couldn’t even defeat Celestia.” Nightmare Moon’s eye twitched as she once again used the wipe on Shalltear. “Bastard, wiping me won’t change a thing.”

“Oh I’m sorry but I think you misunderstand, I didn’t wipe you for that. I did it for not calling me Master~” Nightmare grinned as she wiped Shalltear again.

“Dammit, where’s that stupid veil.” She said only for Nightmare Moon to draw her attention towards her as she had the veil Shalltear had floating right next to the alicorn

“Are you looking for something?” Nightmare Moon asked in a sweet tone. As she pour the content into a needle. “Now then what do you call me?”

“Y-You wouldn’t.” Shalltear said as she slowly tried to back away from Nightmare Moon.

“Say it and I won’t.” said Nightmare Moon as she drags Shalltear closer and held the needle to her skin.

“I rather rot in hell then to call you that, you rejected knock off of an alicorn.” Nightmare looked angry then injected the needle and smiled as Shalltear cried out in pain.

“Say the magic word and I’ll make the pain stop~” Nightmare Moon sang as she went to a table.

“D-Drop dead you monster.” Shalltear said as she fell to the floor holding her stomach in pain. Nightmare came back with scissors in her hand and slowly started to removed the countess dress by cutting it off.

“Oh don’t worry now I’m a good master and will treat you well. All I have to do is remove this and.” With one move Nightmare Moon pulled the dress off and laughed. “Much better don’t you agree? Now then, what should we do next?” asked Nightmare as she looked at the many tools on the table. “How about I do a little bit of an….experiment on you, and see how your body works.” She said as she placed Shalltear on her lap. “When I’m done with you, you’re gonna be my personal to toy to play with.” 

Shalltear was about to reply, but was unable to as she felt something pulsing against her back. The countess slowly turned her head around in horror at what she saw.

“Do you like it? I made this just for you~” Nightmare Moon said with a smiled. “Don’t worry I tested it, it works just like the real thing~” She purred into Shalltear ear.

“I-I am the countess of blood, Shalltear BloodFallen, and you will release me at once!” Shalltear said as she fired a blast of holy magic at Nightmare Moon’s face.

“Not anymore you’re my toy now. You know what that means? I can do whatever I want to you~”

“G-Get away from me!” Shalltear yelled as she tried to push the alicorn away from her. Only for Nightmare Moon to push her onto the ground with her butt in the air.

“Now you just stay like that the fun about to start~” Nightmare Moon said as she position herself over Shalltear, while rubbing her cock on the countess’s ass. “You ready~”

“Please, don’t.” She begged as tear began to run down her face.

“Don’t worry my little toy, you’ll love it once I’ve broken you~” That when the sound of a cave in was heard and made Nightmare Moon stop. “What was that?”

Her answer came in a bloodthirsty roar that echoed down the halls. “SHALLTEAR WHERE ARE YOU!” Roared Asphyxious as the sound of more walls being destroyed followed. What bust out of the wall was a angry 16 foot dragon, a girl with red hair covered in a crimson aura, two alicorn princesses, and a pissed off female esper snarling at Nightmare Moon.

“H-Help me, please.”

Asphyxious roared as he tackled Nightmare Moon off of Shalltear and slammed into a wall. “I’M GOING TO EAT YOU!” He roared in rage as everyone heard the crunching of bones and Nightmare screams of pain. Asphyxious was blasted back out of the new hole in the wall he made by Nightmare Moon. He growled before standing between the new opening and Shalltear. When Nightmare Moon walked out of the hole in the wall her left arm was missing.

“You… Bit my arm off…” She said in a mix of horror and rage.

“Oh you think that’s bad?” Amelia said as she appeared behind Nightmare Moon, and grabbed her by the throat. “Compare to what he just did is nothing to what I’m going to do to you for trying to rape my little sister.”

“What could you do to me?” Nightmare asked smiling. “All your going to do is lock me away right?”

“I vote we eat her.” Asphyxious growled with blood around his jaws as he held Shalltear in his arms.

“I vote we throw her ass into the sun.” Amy suggested. “I wonder how roosted alicorn taste like.” This made Asphyxious growl in agreement.

“Normally I would do that, but something tells me that she’ll come back from that.”

“The void then.” Said Asphyxious as he starting to calm down and see to Shalltear. As he walked away. “She can be fed to Toruk for all I care.”

“Or you could have her be this Toruk’s personal stress relief if you catch my drift?”

“His not that kind of dragon.” Said Asphyxious as he sat on the floor with Shalltear. “He’d see her more as a snack then that.”

“Fine, do whatever you want with her then.” Amelia said as she placed Nightmare Moon in a small cube. “Now, then on to a different subject.” Amelia turned her attention at Celestia. “I believe this has gone on long enough Celestia. Whatever problems you have with my sister, I would recommend you put that aside and start the forgiving process. That also includes you Luna.”

“Before she went into the portal, Shalltear asked me to give Celestia a massage. She said she forgives you.” Asphyxious said coldly as he looked down at Shalltear in his arms. “I on the other hand, do not know where I stand with what just happened. All I want to do now is help her.”  

“I… I don’t know what to say.” Said Celestia as she stands there.

“I do.” Said luna as she looked to her sister and walked up to Asphyxious carefully seeing as him being protective of the vampire.

“Shalltear it me Luna can I speak with you?” She asked looking at the countess in worry. “I just want to say I’m sorry for what happened. And that I wasn’t there to stop this from happening.”

Celestia slowly walked over and looked at Shalltear with sadness in her eyes. This was the real Shalltear that she couldn’t see all this time. A scared girl looking for someone to help her.

“I’m sorry as will Shalltear, I know it not much but I understand if you never forgive me. I don’t believe I deserve it after everything that happened.” said Celestia as she looks at the floor. Shalltear said nothing as she whispered something into Asphyxious’s ear.

“She said. She forgives you but it’s too soon to be called friends.” Asphyxious said as he nuzzles Shalltear.

“If I was in her position I wouldn’t blame her for think that way.” Amy said rubbing her neck. “Guess the fight between her and Celestia is off huh?”

“Amy do you have anything Shalltear can wear?” Asphyxious asked as he wrapped one of his wings around Shalltear.

“Hm, I might have something that can help.” Amy said as she pointed a finger at the countess. “Clothes Beam!” Asphyxious just stare at Shalltear wearing a hoodie and shorts.

“Umm Amy what is she wearing? It make me want to ask her to be apart of my hoard even more.” He asked as he try not to blush and failing.

“What? I figure she needed something different then her old outfit.” Asphyxious just facepalms at this.

“Anyway what do we do now, I don’t think she ready to go anywhere by herself.” Asphyxious asked as he looked down at Shalltear. “Do you want to leave this place?”

“I’ll take her home.” Aris said as she appeared next to Asphyxious. “It’s the least I could do for her saving my sister.”

“Is it alright if I go with you.” Asphyxious asked as he slowly get up. “I don’t feel right leaving her alone. Even if she does have someone to help.”

“If you want to sure.” Asphyxious turned back into his human form and helped Aris take Shalltear home.

(Monster Girl’s house)

“Any news from the others?” Twilight asked only for Monica and Rebecca to nod no.

“We looked all around and still can’t find her.”

“We even tried using Max’s and Lance’s token. But we got no call back from them.”

“Dammit, and I haven’t gotten a response from Celestia after sending her a few letters. Oh where is Shalltear?” Twilight said as she paced back and forth. Just as Rebecca was about to say something, they heard a knock at the door.

“Who is it?” Monica asked.

“Hi is this Shalltear house I’m trying to find it and everyone pointed me here.” Said Asphyxious from outside. “Are you a friend of hers? could you let us in please Shalltear had a long day.”

Twilight rush towards the door as she opened it to see Shalltear sleeping on the back of a humanoid like dragon. “Oh thank Celestia you found her. I thought somepony might have kidnapped her.”

“Your kind of right… Can we come in. This isn’t something to talk about at the front door.” Asphyxious asked as he helped Shalltear inside careful not to wake her.

“Yes, please come in.”

“Sorry about this but let say things got crazy, Do you know where her room is so I can put her down?” Asphyxious asked as he walking through the house.

“Upstairs to your left. Vinyl and Octavia are standing out there.”

“Thank you, Aris can explain thing while I put Shalltear to bed.” Asphyxious said as he go up the stairs. Once upstairs he see Vinyl and Octavia and walked up to them. “Hi could you open the door for me or do I just try and hand you Shalltear?”

“What the hey happened to our little master?” Vinyl asked.

“Nightmare happened, could you open the door please.” Asphyxious asked. “I’ve been carrying her for the past three hours.”

“Of course.” Octavia said as she open the door to the countess room. Asphyxious sighed as he walked in and carefully put Shalltear to bed. He was about to leave when his arm stuck on something. Asphyxious looked back and saw Shalltear was holding his arm.

“Oh crap… Well, I’m in for a long night.” Asphyxious said as he set on the floor next to Shalltear bed. “Oh well looks like I’m going to stand guard then.”

Next Morning

“How’s Shalltear doing?” Sally asked as she placed breakfast on the table.

“Still depressed, but she’s still eating.” Janelle said as she looked over at Rebecca. “Any luck on calling her parents?”

“Still nothing. I been at this for the past 24 hours.” Rebecca said as she tossed the token at the wall. Only causing something to slam into it as a cloud of smoke went off.

“Oww… For gods sake, treat a token with respect!” Said a familiar voice as the dust cleared. The blond like figure coughed a little because of the dust, weakly standing up to see the group around him. “Wait… Where am I-?”

“You son of a bitch!” Octavia said as she appeared in front of Lance, and slapped him in the face hard. “Where the buck have you been?!”

“What the hell are you talking about? I’ve already had a lot to deal with Lady. First off, one of my daughters almost died and second, I just found out that another one chose to erase her memory. Plus, I’ve been in the void for the past few hours and because of that, I couldn’t be summoned. So can someone please tell me where I am?!”

“You’re in Shalltear’s house, and right now she need your help with coping with almost being raped by Nightmare Moon.” Aris said.

“... Tell me what happened… NOW.”

“I can help with that.” Amelia said as she appeared out of the kitchen. “Nightmare Moon held a bunch of innocent monster girls hostage, and in exchange for their freedom my sister had to become her sex slave for the rest of her life.”

Lance said nothing. But his facial expression deeply changed. His eyes just widened and the bottom of his jaw was ajar as they continued to explain. Only when the story was finished did he do something that was unexpected… By all of them. Taking his right arm, he slammed his right arm into the wall, almost causing the wall to shake. “DAMMIT!!!”

“Temper Mr. Lance, I prefer not to have my sister’s house destroyed.” The Esper said. “But to be fair you shouldn’t beat yourself up, stuff like this is common.”

“Don’t… you DARE lecture me about this. I promised to myself that I will make sure this does not happen again, only to hear this!! On TOP of that, I was gone because of that damn guardian and on top of that, she told me that her memory was erased! So to me… I failed my daughter… Some father I am.”

“Oh get over it.” The Esper said bluntly. “No one’s perfect in this world, and beating yourself up over it is not going to solve your problems. Right now my sister needs you and your wife to help her cope with what happen to her. Now get up off your ass and go do what a father is suppose to do.”

“That’s rich coming from the fact that hearing about her memory lapse caused her to freak.” Lance replied. “I want to help her… but… she won’t even know who I am. She’ll just see me as a blond freak invading her apartment.”

“Oh for the love, you parents are always so full of self doubt and drama.” Amelia grabbed Lance by the collar and begun to drag him upstairs. “Let’s go mister drama bomber.”

“Says the fact that you’re being worse than Max when she’s angry.” He said, releasing Amelia’s grip from her. “I’ll go see her… Just tell me where her room is.”

“It’s the room with a bunch of anime style bats covering the door. It’s not that hard to miss it.”

“Okay…” He said, walking up there and going to the door. Softly knocking on the door to try and not disturb her. Only for it to creak open… and find a passed out lich on the floor. With Shalltear holding onto his arm like the arm of a teddy bear. “Really Asphyxious? Really?” He sighed, walking in quietly as he stood by Shalltear’s bedside. “Shalltear? Honey, it’s me…”

“Been awhile since you came for a visit dad.” Shalltear said as she stared at Lance.

“... Oh my god…” He said, a couple of tears forming as he hugged her. “Y-you remember me… My god, you remember!”

“Dad, please let go. Not because that I don’t mind you hugging me, but you kinda smell like garlic and it’s messing with my eyes.”

Lance just did the first thing he did and threw his jacket aside. “You scared me and your mother, Shalltear. Guardian told us of your decision and… Max was heartbroken because of it. So was I when I heard of it… You scared me half to death Shalltear, and you are a very important person to me.”

“Yeah I had to do that so Nightmare Moon didn’t use my memories to try to break my mind. And for the record.” Shalltear levitated a note book towards them. “Always write stuff like this in a journal incase you lose your memories.”

“Shalltear… You had us worried sick…” He said, holding her tighter. “I am very sorry Shalltear… I don’t want this to happen again… You are very important to me dear… Just like everyone else in my family… And I would gladly die to protect anyone of them. That’s how much I care for you.”

“I know dad, and I’m sorry for making you worry…..wait didn’t Guardian tell you that I wrote all my memories in a journal?”

“No, she never did. All she said that it was just your choice. She never told us why.”

“Guess being old can make you forget important details.” Shalltear said. “Oh well, no one’s perfect. Mind telling mom about this as well?” She asked as she levitated a blue cube next to her.

“Y-yeah… I will.” He said, his movements causing a gold coin to slip out of his pocket. landing on the floor as it shined with the sunlight.

“You dropped a bit on the floor dad.”

Lance, looking at it, chuckled a little. “Oh that’s not a bit. That’s a token. It’s for my cousin, Sun Wukong.”

“....Is he a monkey?”

“Faunus. Human with animal traits. He has a monkey tail and a pair of nunchaku that are also shotguns.” He clarified.

“Oh the monster girls in town are gonna have a field day with him.”

“That’s an understatement… He wears an unbuttoned collared shirt half of the time with the other half being an unzipped jacket.” He sighed. “And get this… his marefriend in his world is Fluttershy.”

“Really, well let’s just hope she doesn’t turn into a vampony like I did with mine… by accident.”

“Accident? … Don’t tell me you fell on her and in doing so, you sank her teeth into her, did you?”

“It was more like I was hungry and I forgot to get something to eat…..hehehe.” Shalltear said as a sheepish smile appeared on her face.

“Well… Accidents happen don’t they?” He said, noticing that Sun’s medallion had shined a little during the conversation. Only to notice someone on the windowsill. “Oh you got to be kidding me…”

“What?”

“Look at your window.” He sighed, looking back at her as he put Sun’s token in his pocket. Only when did Shalltear look outside that she saw a surprise.

“Umm… Good morning I guess-?” He said, turning his head and noticing Lance. “Lance? What are you doing here?”

Shalltear’s eyes widen as she levitated Sun inside her room. “Are trying to get the others to see you?”

“Wait… Others? Also, not to be rude, but who are you?”

“I’m Shalltear Bloodfallen, The Blood Countess. And this is my dad Lance.” Shalltear said pointing to Lance.

“Woah, Dad?” He said, looking at Lance. “I know that you and Max are getting married, but I honestly did not expect that…” He sighed, noticing Asphyxious on the floor. “Aye yae yae… What happened to Asphy?”

“It’s a long story that I prefer not to relive again.” Shalltear said as she shook the box she had in her hands up and down. “And this bitch in the box is the cause of it.”

“Sun, I got to go.” Lance replied. “Can you spend some time with Shalltear?”

“Sure I guess. Oh and before you leave, I might need to tell you something. I’m starting a Displaced Academy.” He said, catching Lance’s attention.

“Seriously?”

“Yeah. I thought that Displaced who get pulled in don’t necessarily have to go in alone and endure many hardships. Plus… Asphy here is going to be one of the teachers.” He replied.

“Seriously?” Shalltear said as she eyed the lich. “You do know this guy is hornier than most of the monsters here in town right?”

“I know. When her daughter tried hitting on me, he was chasing me for a few hours during a christmas party.” He replied. “Plus, last I heard, he’s been trying to cut back recently.”

“Sure he is.” Shalltear said sounding unsure about his claim.

“Yeah, but he’s not a teacher for that. He’s a teacher for Spellcraft, Rune Magic and is also a combat instructor.” He replied to her. “Speaking of which… should we get him back to his home? His wife and hoard might be worried if he’s gone for too long.”

“I’ll do that afterwards.” The countess said as her eyes glowed scarlet red with her knowing it. “I find him...comfortable to be around with.” She said as she licked her lips.

“... Well… I’ll better get going… Sun, don’t try anything crazy.”

“I won’t. I’ll do anything to help her out man.” He replied as Lance left the room and returned back to his world.

“So….what now?”

“That depends on you. I’m only here to help…” He replied. “What do you need assistance with, Madam Shalltear?”

“One, don’t call me madam I feel old when someone calls me that. And two, I need you to get me a veil of jelly extract from one of the slime girls in town.”

“Okay, what’s her name?” He asked, taking out a notepad and a pen was being held by his tail. “One veil of… jelly extract.”

“Anyone of them would do really. Just tell them I asked it from them.” He nodded his head, walking out from the window as he went across town, looking for what he was tasked to find. Soon, he found one of the shops as he landed on the ground and opened the door to the shop.

“Welcome to the item store, my kakuen friend.” The Ren Xiongmao said as she greeted Sun.

“You must be one of the slime girls right?” He asked. “Shalltear wanted me to pick something up for her. A veil of jelly extract.”

“No, I’m Ren Xiongmao, or Panda Girl for most folks.” She said as she took a martial art stance.

“Momiji Chung lao. At your service.”

“Sun Wukong. Monkey Faunus… Uh, miss Lao? Shalltear needs the extract so where can I find the girls?” He asked. “I rather not make her wait.”

“We got what you need here cutie.” Momiji said as she used her bamboo stick to get the veil of slime jelly. “That’ll be 100 bits please.”

Sun went into his back pocket and got out the necessary change, setting it on the table with his monkey tail. “Here you go.”

“Thanks.” Momiji slammed her fist on the counter, as the bits flew in between her breast. “Come back if you need anything else.”

“Sure thing.” He replied, walking out the door and waving goodbye as he began to walk back towards Shalltear’s house.

“Ah, good you made it back. I was worry the the slime girls would’ve gotten their hands on you by now.” She said as Shalltear stood by the windowsill while Sun climbed up.

“Actually, I ran into a panda girl named Momiji in the shop. Paid the bits I needed before coming here.” He said, handing the veil over to her.

“Perfect, with this I’m halfway there to making a lust poison for Nightmare Moon.”

“Lust poison?” He asked.

“Nightmare Moon want to make me into her sex toy, so she injected me with the same poison I’m making.”

“Is it suppose to make it worse or is it suppose to work like a vaccine?”

“Yes, right now, I’m using her as a test subject to see if I can figure out a way to get the poison out of me.”

“Well, that sounds risky.” Sun replied. “Beforehand though…” The Faunus took out his staff and used one of the ends to poke Asphy’s head. “Yep, still asleep.”

“Hmm… No Len… We can’t do this here… Shalltear will be mad at me….” Asphyxious wines as he culls up on the floor.

Sun just glanced at him, with a raised eyebrow as he withdrew his staff. “Do Liches have wet dreams?”

“Hmmm… Shalltear what are you doing?… No if you bite Len this will get worse….” Asphyxious said as he sleeps on the floor. “Gwen?... How did you get here?... No stop I don’t want to blight you...”

“And that just answered every question I had.” The Faunus sighed. Taking a blanket from nearby the couch, Sun gently set it over the lich as he tried to not disturb him. Asphyxious just purrs in his sleep as his tail moves from side to side. “Boy… I wonder if Ken had to deal with anything like this…”

Asphyxious then hugged Sun leg like a teddy bear. “Hmmm… Oh yes…” He purred in his sleep.

Sun, taking a moment, had to try and use his staff like a crow bar in order to pry himself loose. Only for the lich to grip him tighter. “Well… this is just great…” He said with a bit of sarcasm.

“Hmmm… Beef…” Asphyxious mumbles as his licks his lips then opens his jaws to try and take a bite out of Sun leg. Only to instead have Sun’s tail tickle his nose and have a familiar scent stir his slumber. “Sun…?”

“I was beginning to wonder when you might wake up.” He sighed. “You’re kind of… grabbing onto my leg.” Asphyxious looked at his leg then back up at Sun.

“I had a dream I was going to eat a roasted Beef leg.” Asphyxious said as he let Sun go then looks around and yawned.

“That… probably wasn’t the only thing you were dreaming.” The Faunus sighed. “Good to see that you have come to your senses at least. Lance was here earlier to check on Shalltear.”

“Oh, is she okay?” Asphyxious asked then seeing her walking to a table.

“Better yeah. But what surprised me was when Lance told me that she was one of his daughters.” Asphyxious nodded until his mind fully woke up and he stare at Sun.

“Wait, What?” Asphyxious asked staring at him.

“Shalltear is a daughter of Lance and his Fiance Max. Adopted into the family, but something tells me that now I am Uncle Sun.”

“Oh… Okay….” Asphyxious said with a far off look in his eye. “Ummm… Okay…”

“Something wrong man? You look like you were caught red handed in something.” He replied.

“Nope, Nothing at all! I’m fine… Really, it’s good!” Asphyxious said smiling nervously.

“... You are a horrible liar, you know that right?”

“I… I know…” Asphyxious lowered his head in defeat as he sighs. “I… Asked Shalltear if she could… Join.... My… Hoard…” He mumbled as he played with his tail. Sun himself was kind of surprised at this, raising an eyebrow as he folded his arms.

“And?”

“I’m… Not sure… If she said no because of the plan she had for nightmare moon. Or if it has to do with her misunderstand my meaning. I just don’t know…” Asphyxious said as he looks at his tail.

“Well… You need to give her some time.” Sun replied. “She may think that something like that was a little too soon, so you should have her think a little before making a final decision.”

“I guess you're right… I don’t want to push her into anything right now. With everything that happened.” Asphyxious said as he watched Shalltear work. “Do you know all the details?”

“Bits and pieces. Why?”

“I… Felt I could of done more to keep her safe…” Asphyxious said as he looks at the floor. “I also… Ate Nightmare’s arm… I never questioned this before. How can I eat another living being so… Carefree?”

“Anger and rage can lead to many things. If I were in your position, I would’ve blown her head off for what she tried to do.”

“But I’ve done this before, when I helped another displaced his home was under attack. I killed and ate a minotaur. The only thought going through my mind was he tasted of beef…”

“Would that explain why you thought my leg was beef?”

“I don’t know… Maybe I’ve lost more of my mind then I thought.” Asphyxious said as he laughs a little at that. “Maybe it because I’m part dragon or I’m crazy I don’t know… All I know is when someone becomes my enemy, I see them as more than a threat… I see them as food.”

“Maybe it’s that protective instinct of yours.”

“Maybe… I need a drink.” Asphyxious said as he lay the back of his head on the bed.

“Kitchen is downstairs… Plus I need to do something with Shalltear. I think some lady named Amy is down there as well too and it looks like she’s looking for an opponent in a drinking contest.” Asphyxious laughed at that.

“It been forever since I’ve seen Amy why not could be fun.” Asphyxious said as he get up. “Just get me if things get wild okay?” He asked as he walks out the door.  With that, Sun sighed, looking back towards Shalltear.

“Sorry that took a little while,” He apologized. “Ready to get started?

“Okay, now I need another sample from another monster girl.” Shalltear said as she place the slime jelly into a beaker.

“Should I make a list?” He asked. “Something tells me that I need to go shopping for a little bit to get everything you need for your test, Lady Shalltear.”

“Don’t call me lady, that also makes me feel old as well. Anyway this is the last thing I need for what I’m making.”

“My apologies,” He said, getting out his pen and notebook again. “What’s the item and who do I need to get it from?”

“A blood sample from Suzy, the cheshire cat.”

“Alright,” he replied, writing those two things down. “Where can I find her?”

“She should be around town, though be warn. She can break the fourth wall.”

“That… sounds like Pinkie.” He replied, only to feel something from behind as the hairs on the back of his neck went up. “She’s right behind me, isn’t she?”

“Sup monkey butt.” Suzy said as she appeared on Sun’s head.

“If you’re Suzy, then we were just talking about you. Oh and my name is Sun. Sun Wukong. Shalltear said that she needed a sample of your blood for a test she’s doing.”

“I could give you that, but I won’t.”

“You do realize she’s right there right?” Sun replied, tilting his head in the direction of the Countess.

“Yes, but that doesn’t mean I’ll fill out your request.” She said as she made herself disappeared. “You want me, you’re gonna have to work for it.”

“Oh really?” Sun replied. “Is that suppose to be a challenge?”

That when everyone heard a noise downstairs and Asphyxious yelling. “I’m a MOTHERFUCKING BEAST!!!” Even Suzy heard that as the loud noise startled her out of her disappearing trick. With an opportunity at hand, he used his tail to pick up a syringe that Shalltear had with her and quickly get behind the chesire cat. He only needed a small sample, so he only withdrew some blood for about… five seconds or so before she noticed what he did.

“You might want to look closely at the syringe Sun.” Shalltear said as she the syringe was full of soda.

“Nice try, but you need to do better than that.”

“Well… Guess I have to then.” he said, only now was when the cheshire cat noticed his exposed set of abs and shirtless chest as he emptied the syringe.

“Oh my, I’m surprise the girls in town haven’t gotten their hands on you.”

“Honestly, I’m surprised that you haven’t tried to do that yet.” Sun smirked.

“Sorry, you’re sexy… but you’re not my type.” Suzy said as she notice a few monsters looking through the window. “But I think they have you as their target.”

Sun turned around, noticing them. “Well shit…” He cursed. However, what Suzy did not see was the Monkey using his tail to hold the syringe and try again. This time, with the Cheshire Cat’s back turned and her being unaware of what he was doing until after the withdrawal. As in an old saying he knew… You can’t fight off what you can’t see.

“....Oh you are so gonna pay for that.” Suzy said as she glared at Sun.

“Yeah… Maybe next time.” He asked, zipping away from her and into the room that Shalltear was in nearby. Locking the door behind him. “Okay… here you go, Shalltear. Some blood in exchanged for an angry feline.”

“I’m surprise she didn’t toss you outside when you did that.” Shalltear said as she grabbed the syringe and poured it into the beaker.

“Technically, I did it with her back turned and used my tail to do it. Sometimes, the art of deception can be quite useful.” Sun replied as she watched the Jelly and the blood mix. “So what happens now?”

“Now to let it set in the refrigerator to cool off, and it’ll be done.”

“... I’m a little worried that Asphyxious might drink that.” He said. “He is drunk downstairs.”

“I’m pretty sure he’s not that stupid to drink something like this.” Shalltear said as she place the potion in the frig. “But if he does drink it, at least I’ll have him to myself when it does happen.”

Asphyxious was mumbling something about being a captain, as he lay on the table with Amy laying on the floor. “I win, da captain always… Wins!” He said as he laid there.

“Bull crap! You didn’t win anything.” Amy said as she tried to full herself up. “I’m still standing dragon butt.”

“Haha! Then let us have your strongest broe wee lass.” said Asphyxious as he stumbles to his set. “One more round! Winner takes all da giblets!”

“Alright, let’s see if you can last without passing out.” said Amy as she heads to the frig taking two bottles one of them not a bottle but a becker. “Prepare to *hic* lose.”

“Ha! I never *hic* Lose.” Asphyxious said as Amy pasted him the becker. Asphyxious took it and held it in his hand. “Ready?”

“Ready.” Amy said as she began to drink. Asphyxious did the same with the becker as he chugged down the Lust Poison.

“...Huh, that didn’t have any taste to it?” said Asphyxious as he blinks at Amy. “What did you give me?”

“Don’t know, *hic* don’t care…..I won.” Amy said as she passed out on the floor.

“Hahaha no I won.” said Asphyxious as he stand up. “I need a nap…” He said and walked off to Shalltear room.

Sun was waiting for Shalltear to come back to the room, but upon hearing the door open and seeing a familiar substance run down Asphy’s mouth like drool, that served as a major problem. “SHALLTEAR!!! Asphy drank it!!”

“Keep it down… My head hurts.” Asphyxious grumbled as he pulled a pillow over his head. Only for Sun to smack him in the head a few minutes later.

“You idiot!!!”

“What? What going on? Last thing I remember is winning the drinking game with Amy.” Said Asphyxious as he looked confused at Sun.

“Then tell me why did you drink what was in the beaker in the fridge?! That was suppose to be Shalltear’s vaccine for the lust poison!”

“Ummm I thought Amy was trying to pull a prank on me by putting the drink in a beaker. And why would you put something like that some where anyone can drink it?” Asphyxious looking at Sun.

“It needed to be refrigerated in order for the liquids to cool down properly.” The Faunus explained to him carefully.“I warned Shalltear this would happen, but she didn’t think you would be that stupid in order to do something like that.”

“Hey Amy’s the one who gave me the thing. I didn’t pick it up out of the fridge and think of this looks good.” Asphyxious grumbled at Sun.

“Well this is just great,” He replied. “Shalltear’s going to freak out once she hears about this.” Asphyxious points at the door as Sun saw Shalltear standing there.

“........You do realize you’re an idiot, right?” Shalltear said with a deadpanned expression on her face.

“I was drunk… Everyone is an idiot when they're drunk.” Asphyxious said as he sat on the bed. “Go on then I deserve what ever coming.”

“Just leave, we’ll talk about this later. Right now I have some important business stuff to take care of.” Asphyxious looked at Sun then at Shalltear as he get up.

“Umm okay?” He said as he walked out the door.

“I mean you can go home now until I call you again.”

“Oh, why didn’t you say our contract is complete then?” Asphyxious asked smelling something in the air. “Do you guys smell that?”

“And part one of the side effect is starting to kick in.” Shalltear said as she pulled out Asphyxious’s token. “You can go home now Asphyxious. Our contract is complete.” A portal quickly opened underneath Asphyxious and sent the half dragon home.

“And as for you Sunny, you can go home as well.”

“I wouldn’t mind staying a little longer. Something’s telling me that Asphy’s escapades are more than just drinking that… Plus, wouldn’t that mean we would need to make another?”

“After what happen to me yesterday and from working on that potion. I think I’m gonna call it a day and relax for the rest of the day.” Shalltear said as she levitated towards her room.

“Alright. Well, I’ll be outside your door then. Jst call me if you need me for anything.” Sun replied. “I want to help out a bit before I leave so a bit of guard duty won’t hurt right?”

“Fair enough I guess.”

“If you need anything from me at all, just tell me and I can help the best I can.” He said, sitting down by the door.

“Ugh, why can’t I be left alone for a while?” Shalltear said in annoyance. As the day continued to pass on, Sun still stood guard… But a new question rose in his mind. One that actually… sounded helpful.

“Hey Shalltear?”

“Yeah, what is it?”

“May I ask you something?” He asked, sounding nervous as he spoke.

“I guess, so what’s your question.”

“Remember when I told you about the Academy I was going to open?”

“Yes?”

“Well, I would like for you to be a student,” He said. “Along with any of your monster friends that want to come too… There are a few other Faunus besides myself, one being a cat and another being part Rabbit and I was thinking it might be good for you besides Asphy being a teacher.”

“.....Maybe, but not right now. I’m pretty much the representative of the monsters here in Equestria. And I can’t really leave them at this time.”

“Oh? Why is that?” He asked. “Is something going on?”

“I don’t know why, but something big about to happen here in Equestria. And I can’t shake the feeling that if I leave for even a second, something bad is going to happen.”

“... Should I stay then? If something bad does happen and you need to fight… you are going to need allies right? I know some others that can help too.” He said. “You’re important to me, Shalltear. Lance see’s you as a daughter and I see you as family as well.”

“Well, never thought I see a ghost from the past again.” said a mysterious voice fills Sun’s head.

“Who said that?” He thought to himself, springing to his feet and holding his staff.

“Oh uncle Sun, it’s forever since I’ve seen you.”

The faunus soon recognized the voice. “Wait… Shalltear?”

“Well aren’t you just a smart monkey. Guess you’re not as dumb as before when we first meet long time ago.” Outside the window, the faunus could here where the voice was coming from as he dropped down to follow it and meet the one that was talking to him. But… this was not the Shalltear he knew.

“If you want to talk with me, meet me outside of Ponyville.”

The Stray complied, following the shadow of the vampire as he was now outside of the town and looking at what looked like Shalltear. “I’m going to go on a whim here and say that you are Shalltear, but not the one that I know.”

“You are correct mortal, but you should know who I am seeing how this is the multiverse. But something tells me that your mind wouldn’t even understand so I’ll explain it to you” The Vampire said as she appeared in front of Sun in an instant. “I’m Shalltear’s future self if she chose to kill Celestia and rule over Equestria and part of the multiverse.”

“And why exactly are you here?” He then asked.

“Simple really, I want more power. So where else but to go back in time and go after an alternate version of myself. That and along with my former friends and family.”

“ …… Sorry, but that just sounds like Terminator to me.” Sun replied.

“Unlike the terminator, I can steal other displaced powers.” The vampire said as she performed one of Lance’s abilities on a tree. “Oh how fun it was to kill mother and father. The look on their faces were laughable to watch.”

“...... Look, that may be in your timeline, but things are different here.” He growled. “And I’m not taking what you said of Lance lightly.”

“Oh? And can you do about? I’m going to do the same thing I did back home with him, but before I do that. I’m gonna have some fun with my alter self, slowly and playfully.”

“Really now?” He said, a new aura fading around him. One that represented the Night sky. “Do you honestly think I would want to let that happen?”

“Ah, pointless fighting from a weakling.” The Vampire said as she backed away from Sun as a crimson aura appeared around herself. “Just like last time. Do try not to disappoint me like last time uncle Sun.”

“Oh trust me…” He said, vanishing almost instantly before reappearing behind her and hitting her point blank. “You made a wrong decision coming here.”

The Vampire simply just scratch the back of her head and turned around to look at Sun. “I hope that wasn’t the best of you abilities uncle Sun. Because if it is, then you need to train more.”

“Actually, This is just the beginning.” He smirked, his weapons forming Gunchaku as he fired off multiple rounds. What this Shalltear couldn’t see was that the dust ammunition he was using was different than before. Whenever he shot point blank, he was using Steam Ammunition. Giving off hot blinding wisps of air to prevent his opponent from seeing his next attack. That followed up by a semblance filled punch to send her skidding into a tree.

“Interesting little trick monkey.” Shalltear said as the she appeared from behind his shadow. “But you should know the difference between a time double and the real one. You can thank Max for teaching me that little skill of hers.” She said as she grabbed Sun by the tail and toss him towards a rotting tree.

“Says the one that can’t tell which one was a decoy!” He said as the one she threw exploded along with another one by her feet before the real Sun landed a blast of explosive dust in her face. “I’m a trickster after all. I have many tricks up my non-existent sleeves.”

“Almost forgot about that trait of yours.” Shalltear said as she grabbed the real Sun by the throat. “But even tricksters have moments of screwing up.” She said as her surge of energy started to form around her other hand. “Now you die-.” Before the countess could finish her sentence, her eyes widen as she saw a familiar girl standing behind Sun. This caused her to drop Sun on the ground as she teleported off.

Looking behind him, the faunus flinched. “Uhh thanks…… Who are you?”

“The Grim Reaper.” Azula said without any emotions in her voice.

“O...kay. Thanks for the help… Why is that Shalltear afraid of you though?”

“Everyone is afraid of death. Even you were the moment you felt that surge of power flowing from her hand.”

“You may be right… But still… thanks. I owe you for that.”

“It wasn’t your time to die yet.” Azula said as she looked through her book. “I prefer not to collect a soul that isn’t ready to pass on.”

“I understand what you mean… Do you have a name?”

“Sun Wukong, Age 18, displaced June 25, 2015. You’re real name is Sean Jiris before you got displaced along with your mother, who I had the pleasure to bring back from the dead along with Jane Anderson.”

“Wait… You brought back my mother?” She replied. “My god, I really am grateful for that.

“Just don’t act so reckless around an enemy that years beyond your understanding. Had I not come in time, she would have killed you and stolen whatever knowledge and powers that you have gain.”

“I’ll take your advice.”

“Now I take you have questions about what just happened I take it?”

“Yeah I do,” He said. “Can you explain to me what that was about?”

“What you just faced was Shalltear’s alternate future self. Think of her as a power hungry monster that wants nothing more than power.”

“ …… Like Cell in Dragon Ball Z?” He asked. “Future being, absorbs energy and does anything to become Perfect?”

“Think of her like Majin Buu, but more….evil and loves to play with his foe.”

Sun nodded his head in response as he folded his arms. “Well, she will definitely be a handful.”

“Hate to break to you, but she’s not your problem to deal with. It’s Shalltear’s problem.”

“Any way to possibly help her?” He asked. “She’s like my niece now with her being in Lance’s family. I would do anything to help her.”

“I know, but this is fight between one’s past and one’s future. This is the point in the countess’s life where she needs to make a choice.”

“Whether or not to pursue revenge?” The Faunus asked.

“Pretty much yeah, but I’m pretty sure she’ll refuse to pursue revenge.”

“After what just happened recently…” He said, sighing a little. “What can I do to comfort her then? Show her my support?”

“Recommend you inform Lance and Max about what I’ve told you. Because in about one month, the fight to determine the fate of Shalltear and her friends will begin.” Azula said as she closed her book. “I prefer that she loses before more souls are lost, and make my job more troublesome.”

“You mean future her, right?”

“No the one that can poop out cotton candy. Of course her.”

“Sorry, I couldn’t tell.” He said, scratching the back of his head. It was then though that he noticed two index cards on the ground, having images of certain items on there. Picking them up, he soon looked back at her. “Thanks!” He replied as he raced back to Shalltear’s house.

“I’m hoping that she wins….otherwise you guys are screwed. And don’t tell Shalltear about this, that will be my job to.” Azula said as she disappeared. it took a few more moments for Sun to get back, while avoiding any of the monster girls that were in the streets as he returned back to outside Shalltear’s guest room.

“Hey Shalltear, I found something I think belongs to you.” He said, knocking on the door.

“What is it?” Shalltear said as she opened wearing nothing but T-Shirt and panties on. “It’s 12 midnight, can’t you see I was busy master…..sleeping.”

“Well, you might want to see these.” He said, handing the two cards to her. Both of them glowed with Shalltear’s touch, the first card forming a set of metallic crimson armor. The Second forming a legendary class weapon that could only be used by Shalltear.

Spuit Lance.

“Never thought I would see these two again. Where did you find them?”

“That’s a bit hard to explain… I found them after running into a girl who turned out to be the grim reaper.” He said, not stating anything else. “You said you were worried that something bad might happen soon. Maybe these could help you get ready for whenever that day comes.”

“Only thing left is to remove the magic seal that Celestia had on me when she hit me with the Elements of Harmony, and I’ll be back to my former glory.”

“What about the lust poison? Wouldn’t that need to be taken care of too?” Sun then asked, curious to hear her answer.

“I’m working on it. The side effects haven’t hit me yet, so I’m pretty much in the clear until I smell something sweet.”

“Riiiiiight… Says the fact you were mastersleeping.” He said, chuckling a little and noticing what might have looked like a blush on her face.

“.....you do know I can throw your ass out on the street, and the monster girls in town will have a field day with you right?”

The Faunus gulped a little, scratching the back of his head. “Sorry, sorry! I didn’t mean to offend you, Countess.” He apologized frantically.

“Good, now then I’m going back to sleep before something weird happens.” Shalltear said as she walked back to bed. Sun himself just laid down, leaning against the wall in a relaxed pose. Trying to fall asleep… Until he heard several panting noises as he leaned his head against the wall before they slowly died down.

Next Morning

“Nice to see a certain vampire up this early for once.” said Sally as she placed breakfast on the table.

“Shut up, after what happen yesterday and Uncle Sun giving me my real lance weapon back. I pretty much deserve to sleep in.” Shalltear said as she began to eat.

“Wait, that monkey dude is your uncle?” Rebecca said. “How many family members have you not told us about?”

That was when they heard some rustling upstairs and heard someone jump up off the floor to walk downstairs. “Morning Shalltear.”

“Morning Uncle Sun, how did you sleep last night?”

“Alright for the most part. Slept on the floor since I didn’t want to try sleeping in your bed and possibly make you mad for not asking beforehand.” He said, walking over to where they were and then sat down at the table. “Did I miss anything?”

“Nothing much really. Janelle and Suzy are at Sweet Apple Acres, Monica is busy helping around town, Vinyl and Octavia are off at work. So that just leaves Me, Shalltear, and Rebecca alone in the house.” Sally said as she sat at the table.

“And I’m going to take a guess that almost everyone except Octavia and Vinyl are Displaced?” He asked, getting a banana from the bowl of nearby fruit. “Just curious, that’s all.”

“Pretty much all the monsters in town are Displaced that have been sealed away for the past one thousand years or so. You can thank Celestia for the blunder.” Rebecca said.

“Well… That just makes things more interesting.” Sun replied. “Most of the displaced in my world are Human or Faunus. Humans with animal traits… Not to mention that I was telling Shalltear something that I thought the rest of you might be interested in.”

“What would that be?”

“Back in my world, we’ll be opening an academy for Displaced in the Spring. That way, Displaced don’t have to be sent into the void and have to figure out what happened to them. I asked Shalltear if she and the rest of you would be okay with possibly being students. Asphyxious is even one of the teachers.” The Faunus told them as he used his tail to tear off a banana peel before taking a bite out of the banana.

“Huh, that would be interesting. But we would have to decline that offer of yours.” Sally said as she took a sip of coffee. “I’m sure Shalltear would join seeing how Asphyxious is there, but we can’t. Mostly because the king of monsters is holding an academy for monsters like us.”

“I see… I was going to say that you could make your own weapons and that where I’m from, almost every weapon is also a gun. But-.”

“It’s interesting, but like Sally said we have to decline.” Rebecca said as she interrupted Sun. “But I’m sure some of the monsters in town wouldn’t mind joining.”

“Well, it’s under construction right now. But it will be open in two months. It’ll give you some time to think on it.” He replied to them. “Besides, one of the humans there named Ruby has a scythe/combat action sniper rifle.”

“......I get feeling that this Ruby girl has low IQ.” Shalltear said.

“You’re right on that… The second she saw my Celestia and Luna, she thought they were in league with the FBI.” Sun sighed, groaning a little upon recalling his first encounter with her. “Besides Ruby, her sister Yang is there too… Along with Weiss and Blake, who is a black cat faunus.”

“Dude, your friends are weird.”

“Trust me… I just ran into them. Ruby thought I was a saiyan at first glance. So yeah… Like Shalltear said… Low IQ.” He replied, finishing his banana and putting the peel in the trash.

“.....Welp I’m not going to your world anytime soon.” Shalltear said as she munched on a piece of toast.

“Right now, yes. It’s either that or get stuck in Lance’s universe… Would any of you be familiar with the comic books they have here? Like Power Ponies?” He asked, thinking that Spike would be one for reading an issue right around now.

“.....And that’s another world on the list of places I won’t be visiting anytime soon.”

“Maybe once you guys decide to use your vacation days-.”

“WE HAVE VACATION DAYS!?!” Rebecca and Sally shouted in unison. This in turn just caused the Faunus to look at Shalltear for a moment before looking back at them.

“Well, I gotta get back home. Just summon me if you need me Shalltear.” He replied, setting down his token on the table by the Countess. A gold medallion with a monkey insignia on it that looked to be an ancient coin.

“Well do uncle.” Shalltear said as she hands Sun a bat plushie. “Here’s my token if you need me.”

“Thanks! Oh Fluttershy will have a kick out of this. Thanks Shalltear!” With his own token, Sun soon leaped through the tear in the void that was created by him as it disappeared a few seconds later. A long pause in the conversation occurred… until Rebecca was the first to speak.

“No seriously, we actually have vacation days?!”

“Ugh, this is going to be a long ass morning.”
