Location: Old Everfree castle, weapons lab
Time: 11:30 P.M. thirty minutes after suit deactivated
After the weird therapy session with the Nano-suit, it was time to take it off and find Zii.
On the way I saw Alduin working on something big so I went to ask him what it is. As I got closer to the behemoth, I noticed it was made out of precursor metal.
"Al!" I yelled out. Al just crawled out of the half finished torso.
"What?" He asked.
"Why are you building a precursor robot?" I asked him. He shook his head no.
"I'm building a mech, just in case we need one." He said referring to Tirek in season 4.
"Dude, that's a long time for a mech to wait." I said. He sighed as he crawled back inside. I finally continued my search for Zii.
When I found him, he was using his cell phone to download more schematics from one of the old working consoles. I knocked on the door way to attract his attention.
"Oh hey Jak. How's the suit?" He asked me about Nano. Nano seems to fit as a name for him, so I'm sticking with it.
I explained to him about everything except what Nano asked me about. Zii was completely ecstatic, he has made an A.I. with a sense of free will and an auto-pilot for the suit and proceeded to wright it down on the nearest notepad.
"Amazing! With this will be finished in an hour building the others." He said as the download to his phone was finished.
"Anytime dude. You mind if I take mine already?" I asked him.
"Yours is the only one that was finished so yes, you can take it." He said.
"But I'm pretty sure you wouldn't take no for an answer." he said giving me a look that says ' Derp'.
With that done, I went back to the lab to pick up the suit. When I got there though, I thought of something amazing.
"Nano-suit activate auto-pilot." I said. For a few seconds nothing happend until I saw some fingers twitch. After a few twitches here and there the suit got up and cleaned the dirt off itself.
"Nano-suit: Rename to Nano." I said to the suit.
"Nano-suit has been renamed to Nano" it said.
"Now suit allow the A.I to take control until further notice." I said to it.
"Affirmative. It said as it shut down for a few seconds the rebooting itself.
"Ah that's better." He said in a british like voice that oddly reminds me of J.A.R.V.I.S.
"You sound very different than when we last spoke but that doesn't really matter." I said to him.
"Anyway. My name, as you put it, is Nano." He said giving a bow.
"You can always deactivate when needed to right?" I asked gaining a nod from him.
"Sweet. Alright let's go find my daughters and head back to Ponyville." I said to him as we began our search for the fillies.
I found Nyx in the library, reading on some spell and as for Scoots, I found her using Alduins Jet-board and doing tricks like a pro. When I told Scoots that we needed to go, she looked sad. It's probably because she likes the board.
I told her she could use mine anytime she wanted when we get back and ran as fast as she could to the exit.
Me and Nyx made our way to the castle entrance and found Scootalo waiting by the door. After being accused of being slow by Scoots we started our trek to Ponyville.
I began explainig to Scootalona about Nano and how to use a Jet-board with out any problems.
PoV change: Twilight
Time: 12:30 P.M.
Status: Nervous
'Come on Twilight just ask him if he wants to go to the gala with you' I thought to myself as looked at my Gala dress. It's a simple long lavender dress Rarity made me.
I was taken out of my thoughts when I heard the front door open. I quickly put away the dress.
I walked downstairs in time to see Scootalo run of with Jaks hover board.
"Remember, be safe!" I heard Jak yell out to Scootalo.
"I will! Bye Dad!" She quickly said before speeding of into the distance. After Jak closed the door and went to the kitchen for something, I noticed Nyx with an old spell book.
"What are you reading, sweatheart?" I asked. I surprised myself saying that. Nyx didn't really seem to mind me calling her that as she continued reading.
"It's a book I found in the library of the old castle. The first few pages are filled with basic spells, right now I'm in the advanced section of the book." She said not taking her eyes off the book. She reminds me of..well me when I study.
"What spell are you reading about anyway?" I asked her, taking a seat next to her.
"Well I'm reading on a transmutation spell. It allows the caster to change an object to whatever he or she desires as long as it's the same size as the first object." She said. I never really learned that spell, maybe I should read that book when she's done.
I saw Jak walk out of the kitchen and head straight to the door. Horse apples! I missed my chance.
"If any of you need me, I'll be at Raritys place to ask her if she could make me a suit." He said as he closed the front door. I turned to Nyx.
"Nyx, can ask you something?" I asked her.
"You just did." She said trying not to laugh. I sighed smiling.
"Sorry, I really wanted to do that." She apologized. "Now what was it that you wanted to ask me?" She asked as she put a bookmark on the page she was in and closed the book.
"Do you think if your dad would go to the gala with me?" I asked as my blushe increases.
"I'm not sure if I heard that correctly. You said if my dad would want to go with you to the gala?" She asked. I didn't have the ability to speak by the amount of embarrassment and nodded my head.
"I'm pretty sure that he would say yes." She said with a smile. I thanked her and made my way to my room skipping in joy.
PoV: Jak
Location: On the way to Carousel boutique
Time: 12:35 P.M. five minutes after leaving the library
After I left the library, I went straight to Raritys palce for a suit. On the way though, I managed to see Scootalo ride by a couple of ponies in the market and Applebloom using my leaper lizard to catch up with her. 'I'll question how she got it to not kick her off later.' I thought to myself as I hurried along.
When I arrived the place looked empty until I opened the door causing the bell to ring.
"Just a minute please." I heard Rarity say, so I sat down on the sofa.After a few minutes she came downstairs with Spike following behind.
"Rarity I need you make a me a suit for the gala." I said to her.
"Alright darling. Please come with me so I can take your measurements." She said as she lead me to the platform I had to stand on.
"Jak I need you to strip from your current clothing but keep your undergarments please." She said. This is so embarrassing but I did what she asked for anyway.
After 10 minutes of embarrassment, she was finally done and started working on the suit.
"Come back later this afternoon. I should be done by then." she said. I thanked her as I made my way to the exit but stopped and looked at Spike.
"Hey Spike?" I said gaining his attention.
"Yeah?" He asked looking at me while eating an emerald.
"You want to get started on your lessons today? I'm basically free right now." I said to him. He sprung up from where he was sitting and started following me.
"What am I going to learn today? I got the basics of Dovahzul learned." He said.
"I'm going teach you what dragons useu for fighting." I said as I inhaled some air ready to shout.
"Wuld Nah Kest!" I shouted, lunching myself 10 yards away. Spike ran towards me with a look of amazement.
"That was awesome! How did you do that!?" He asked me.
"That is what's called a Thu'um or Dragonshout. Not many dragons now a days use it because they've grown to be very prideful and egotistical." I said to him as we began walking towards an open clearing for practice.
We spent the entire walk with him asking me questions about dragons and I answered them to the best of my abilities. We made it to the fields and started practicing.
I needed Spike to keep a calm mind to use a Thu'um. After a while i managed to get him to relax and take it easy and taught him the first part of the unrelenting force. It took some trail and error, mainly Spike sending himself flying but he managed to do it and used it on a rock and sent it flying.
I then taught him the second part of the shout. This time he manage to do it flawlessly and moved me a few inches away. I moved on to the last part of the shout which was balance. It took him about ten minutes to get it right, so I showed him how to use it completely.
"Alright Spike. You have to aim on the target over there and focuse." I said pointing at a log I spray painted to have a target.
"Alright. I got this, I got this." He said as he inhaled some air.
"Fus Ro Dah!" He shouted at the log completely disintegrating it. This surprised me, Spike a young teenaged drake with no experience just used the full unrelenting force flawelessly.
"Amazing Spike. Your turning out to be a quick learner." I said to him giving him a high five.
"Well, when you lived with Twilight as long as I have you tend to learn a few things." He said while rubbing the back of his head. I thought about the Gala tomorrow and thought if I should I ask if Twilight wanted to go with me.
"Hey dude, mind if I ask you serious question?" I asked him.
"Does it have anything to do with Twiligh?" He asked. I nodded at his question.
"Go ahead." He said waiting for my question.
"Do you think if Twilight would be interested to go with me to the gala?" I asked him. He put a finger on his chin in deep thought.
"Honestly, I don't know but you should go ask her anyway man." He answered.
"Okay." I said as we made our way back to Ponyville.
"Also before I forget, for your next lesson, I'm teaching you dragon magic." I said to him. He pumped his fist in the air while whispering the word yes.
Meanwhile with Lokzii
Location: Weapons lab with Alduin
I turned to my brother.
"You think his going to do it?" I ask him as he crawled out of the almost complete torso of his precursor robot.
"I doubt it. You know he has a very low self-esteem and doesn't think highly of himself." He said giving me a serious look.
"I know. It's amazing how well he could hide it from everyone else. I just wish we could help him with his problem but we just can't." I said sadly that we couldn't help our brother. It's funny really, when we first revealed ourselves we wouldn't really give a fuck about him but here we are.
"Let's just hope for the better." He said crawling back inside the torso.
As soon as he was gone, I got down on my knees and started to pray.

Time: 2:00
After we made it back to town, Me and Spike went to check if Rarity was finished and she was. She made me an amazing looking suit with a grey vest and a white undershirt. After complementing her, I said my thanks and goodbyes and made my way back home.
After I got home, I went upstairs immediately to put away the suit. Now I'm just helping out Nyx with the Transmutation spell on a fork. It took five minutes but she finally managed to change it into a spoon. The way she looked after she saw that the spell worked almost made my heart explode. She started bouncing around in joy.
"Congratulations Nyx. You did it." I said to her trying hard not to laugh at her silliness.
"Thanks Dad." She said as she got tired of bouncing around.
"By the way where is Twilight? I need to ask her something." I asked Nyx as she sat back down.
"She should be upstairs in her room." She said.
"Thanks angel." I said after kissing her forehead, then made my way upstairs. As I got to the door and knocked on it I heard the sound of magic being used and a popping sound on the other side of the door.
When the Twilight opened the door, she motioned me to come inside.
When I entered, I noticed the amount of books inside her room. I turned to look at her and noticed she was wearing a purple skirt and a sleeveless magenta shirt that doesn't look her size.
"I wanted to ask you something." We both said simultaneously.
"You go first." Twilight said immediately afterwards.
"I was wondering if you'd like to go to the gala with me?" I asked her.
"Yes! I mean yes, I would love to go with you." She said correctiong herself. No one noticed two fillies eavesdropping on our conversation from the other side of the door.
After a while I asked her how are her friend and tells me what they did the entire week from Rainbow Dashes fatal injury that landed her in the hospital to Fluttershy making a dragon leave. Wow, I guess trying to be a good Dad to Nyx and Scoots distracted me the entire week. Then started asking questions about to my brothers like, how they came to be and what are they doing. After I answered all her questions and explained what they are doing now, she looked like she wanted to go look at the weapons lab. I told her that the lab is off limits without one of us accompanying you inside.
Few hours later Nyx, Scootalo and Rhino came back home and it was time to make dinner, so I made some pasta for everyone. After dinner it was time to hit the hay.
I went and grabbed some clothes and went to take a nace cold shower before bed. After the shower, I saw that Nyx and Scoots were in bed sleeping happily. I got on my mattress waiting for sleep to take me. 'I hope I don't fuck this up. I thought to myself before sleep took me. Next Chapter: The Gala part 1 Estimated time remaining: 3 Hours, 20 Minutes
