Since I came back from Ponyville and told Nightmare about the news, well I can honestly say I have never seen her happier. The day after I went to Ponyville we just spent time with each other, she even had ideas for making a room for children already. While I told her not to get too into the idea, she just simply replied with she wanted to be ready for when it happens. Now it’s myself, Luna, Nightmare Moon, and Celestia eating breakfast and having a good time.

“Hey Luna, Nightmare.” They both then look at me. “Don’t forget about later today.”

I see Luna lean back into her chair and let out a groan as she rubs her head and nods. Nightmare rubs the back of her head with a sheepish smile but nods her head all the same. After a couple of minutes of eating later, the two then excuse themselves. Nightmare comes over to me and gives a kiss on the cheek and a quick nuzzle before leaving. I chuckle at her affection but smile none the less. I then look over at Celestia and see she has her mane covering her eyes. I can read her mood and tell she doesn’t feel very happy right now.

Once I hear the door being shut I then get up as well. “Come on Celestia, we have to get ready for them as well.”

She jumps suddenly at my voice and lightly blushes in embarrassment “Did you say something?” she asks with a sheepish smile.

“Yeah, we need to go to the training grounds now.”

“Alright.”

As we were walking the halls silence had taken over us. I really didn’t know what to say, so I decided to take out the MP3 and play some music. I select my song and put in the earbuds. I close my eyes as I keep the scanner going in case I run into anything. I tap my leg as the song is going on, and then I feel the ear bud on my right get taken out. I crack an eye open to see Celestia has walked closer to me to see what I am listening to, so she put the earbud in her ear. I see she is wondering what this song is and slowly she is starting to enjoy it. I smile at her and keep walking. As the song fades out I take back earbud she took. I see she pouts a little and I give her a knowing smile.

“I take it you enjoyed the music?”

“A little. It was interesting, I have never heard music like that before.”

“Well I would think so, that is music from Earth.”

“I see, is it possible we could listen to more on the way there, please?”

I bring my hand to my chin in thought as I look at Celestia. I see her starting to give me the puppy dog eyes. I chuckle at her and nod my head.

“Why not then.” I then take out the earbuds from the player and prepare the next song. When I select it she can only wonder what this song is. The lyrics begin and she looks at me in worry, I only put up a finger telling her to wait. Soon she gets into the song as we continue making our way to where we need to go. When we get there I stop the songs and I see a flash of light go off next to me. When it dies down I see Celestia has changed from a dress to a simple T-shirt and shorts. She follows me as we set up targets and such.

“Hey, no magic remember.” I tell her as she lets out a sigh and moves the targets manually. I roll my eyes and set up the others. I have her do this so she can get more accustomed to not using magic while in Double Soul. We get done in a few minutes, and go and sit down by a tree.

“Hey Celestia?”

“Hmm?”

“Where is Chrysalis?” I ask as I look at her.

“Ah, she is currently is the Crystal Empire with Cadence and Shining Armor. While we may have made peace with the Changelings, not all of Canterlot is accepting of them still. Cadence was the one who came up with the idea, though she still holds animosity towards Chrysalis she wants to give her a second chance in the Empire.”

“Makes sense. I still feel bad about what I did though.” As I turn my gaze from her to the sky. I then lie down on my back with my hands resting underneath my head. “But I can’t do anything about the past now can I?”

“No you can’t, you can only worry about what you are doing now. Oh, do you have an idea of who will be Nightmares’ and Luna’s partners?”

“No, it is completely random. I mean it would be nice if I could choose, but I think it is better this way.”

“Alright, I just wanted to ask.”

“No harm in doing so.” I then close my eyes and feel a slight breeze come by, I feel like resting for a bit right now.

“Are we going to relax for a bit before getting ready?” Celestia asks me.

“Yep.” I simply reply as the urge to sleep is getting stronger. Screw it, I set an internal alarm for three hours from now. I then let sleep take over, and I couldn’t be more comfortable in my opinion right now.

Next thing I hear is an alarm go off in my ear. I groan as I can tell it has been three hours. Before I open my eyes I feel a body pressed up against my own. My eyes shoot open as I see Celestia is resting next to me. Her head is resting on my shoulder while her arm is across my chest. I then reach over with my left arm and try to wake her up.

“Hey Celestia, wake up.” I lightly shake her, but all it does is make her grip my chest tighter.

“Five more minutes…” I hear her mumble and then she nuzzles my cheek and sighs in content as I see a smile grace her lips.

‘How the fuck did this happen while I was asleep?’ I can only deadpan at this point.

“Celestia, wake up!” I then shake her a little harder and she then grumbles something and finally opens her eyes. As soon as she looks at the position we’re in, her face goes from white to red and her wings shoot straight up. She then sits up and quickly moves away from me, while rapidly saying sorry.

I sigh “Celestia, it is alright.”

Her wings slowly rest against her back, but her face is still red. “Are you sure?” She squeaks out.

“Look, I know you didn’t mean for that to happen but it doesn’t matter to me. Now before this goes on any further…” I then stand up and crack my back. I then Beast Out. “Time for hand to hand combat.”

I see her face slowly turn back into her normal color as she gives me a blank stare.

I raise an eyebrow “It’s either this, or would you like to still be embarrassed?”

She then shakes her head and sighs. She stands up and after a flash of fire covers her, she is standing in her Double Soul with a smile on her face.

She then gets a smirk on her face as she balls her hands into fists and raises them “I will beat you this time.” Then her face mask covers her mouth.

“I would like to see you try.” I then mimic her stance and rush her.

Nightmare Moon and Luna are walking the halls of Canterlot while talking about what will happen later today.

“Who do you think we will get paired with Nightmare?”

“I don’t know Luna, but from what I can tell it will be who we match up with. If it is anything that Celestia has said anyway.” Nightmare replies with a sigh.

Luna raises a hand to her chin in thought. “Hmm, has Gregar told you anything recently about Celestia?”

Nightmare becomes a little intrigued “Yes, he told me yesterday how he told you and Pinkie Pie. I am not happy that he told one of the Elements about this.” she says with a scowl.

Luna sighs “Are you going to put some thought into it?”

“I am.” Nightmare’s face then becomes neutral.

“What are you thinking about it then?” Luna asks as she puts her hands behind her back.

“I can see why Celestia has asked him of this, but why not you?”

“Don’t get me wrong, I do like him.” Luna sighs before continuing. “I just don’t have romantic feelings for him anymore. I accepted the fact long ago that I wouldn’t be able to be in a relationship with him, even if he eventually would accept the idea of a herd. Though it will feel strange and a little empty for a bit, I will come to accept that you and Celestia are in a relationship with him.”

“So those are your thoughts on Celestia joining then?” Nightmare gives a sad smile to Luna.

Luna returns one as well. “Celestia needs this, I would like to join in as well but it can’t be. I just you both to feel happy with him, while I feel if I join in I won’t be happy at all. I already know from talking with him he is still hesitant about Celestia’s proposal, it would only throw him in confusion if I joined as well.”

“I see. I wish it weren’t like that.”

Luna giggles a little “I know, but don’t worry. In time I will find one who will sweep me off my hooves.” They go silent for a little bit before Luna speaks up again. “Besides, do you know the other reason why I want Celestia with you and Gregar?”

“Other reason?”

“Yes, you see I want this for you because I know you still hold hatred towards Celestia.”

Nightmare goes wide eyed and stops while staring at Luna. Luna has a small smile.

“Don’t think I haven’t noticed the times Celestia has spoken about Gregar and the look of anger on your face.”

Nightmare then sighs as she sits down and leans against one of the pillars.

“How long have you noticed?” Nightmare asks as she rubs forehead.

“I have noticed ever since our magic returned fully since we got hit by the elements.”

“That long then huh?”

Luna then sits next to Nightmare and brings her in for a hug, while wrapping one of her wings around her.

“Nightmare, I just want you to be happy again. With how how you try to control your anger, it would only be a matter of time before you snap and Gregar would have to stop you.” Nightmare closes her eyes as she embraces Luna. “I just want you to try this out ok?”

“I’ll give it some thought, ok?”

Luna gives nightmare a soft smile “That is all i’m asking.”

After a few minutes they both stand up. They continue on their way towards the training grounds. As they get their they hear music coming and see Celestia and Gregar fighting.

Celestia rushes at me and tries to get under my guard. I simply move back as I dodge each swing until she drops down and kicks my feet out from under me. I land on my back as I see Celestia is about to punch me in the face, I quickly launch myself up off my feet and then I hear Celestia use a battlechip.

I see her take aim “Heat shot!” She fires a ball of fire at me and I get torched. I shrug off the damage and rush at her and give her no chance to counter. She put her arms in front of her and before I bring my fist to strike I quickly grab her and toss her over my shoulder. She lands on the ground, hard, and I put my foot on her chest and point my buster at her.

I see Celestia looking at me in the eyes and I wait for her to do anything. We are stuck there for a minute before Celestia relaxes, signifying she admits defeat. I get my foot off her and put my hand out to help her up. She accepts it as I help her.

“Well you have gotten better, but it is still too early for you to win against me.”

Celestia drops out of Fire Soul and is slightly out of breath. “That may be so, but I was able to get some hits on you at least.”

“True.”

I then look towards Luna and Nightmare “So you two enjoy the show?”

NIghtmare rolls her eyes with a smile. Luna just covers her mouth as she is giggling.

“Well that is nice to know, now get ready.” A flash of light soon comes from them both as they are in more comfortable clothing. Nightmare now is wearing shorts and a t-shirt as well while Luna has a long sleeve shirt while wearing some pants. They walk over to me and stop in front of me. They close their eyes, but before I put a finger on their heads I feel a hand on my shoulder.

I look over my shoulder to see Celestia with a worried look on her face. “Are you sure that you should have them do this at the same time?”

“Might as well.”

“You were exhausted when you did this to me.”

“That may be true, but hey this is easier for me.”

Celestia sighs and then steps back. “Fine.”

I look back at Nightmare and Luna to find them both looking at me. I roll my eyes then shut them. After I do so I notice the purple glow appear.

‘Soul Unison activated. Calculating best partners for Princess Luna and Princess Nightmare Moon.’ The monotone voice says again, I guess I will hear this no matter who I activate Soul Unison for.

‘Partners found. Soul Unison for Princess Luna is 93%. Soul Unison for Princess Nightmare Moon is 96%’

‘What the hell does the percentage mean?’ I say in my mind.

‘The percentage is how well the users and navis can get in and out of Double Soul.’

Well then… at least that was answered for me. I then open my eyes and the glow isn’t surrounding me anymore. I let go of them and stumble backwards and fall on my back, completely exhausted.

‘Well shit’. I then drop out of Beast Out and I hear someone rushing over. I then see Celestia looking at me in worry.

I smirk at her “Hey Celestia, how's it going?”

She then sighs and hold a hand out to me. I grab it and she pulls me up.

“I told you this would happen.” She tells me.

“Yeah, but I did it anyway.”

“You’re impossible sometimes.” She says as she rolls her eyes.

I wanted to make a retort to that, but the one that came to mind would not have helped our current dilemma. Anyway I then looked over towards Luna and Nightmare I saw them each holding a PET that was in a similar design as the one Celestia got. For Nightmare it was a full moon with a cog wheel as the background where the mark would be, while also being in the color scheme of black, blue, and red. While Luna’s is a crescent moon as the background and a white silhouette of a eagle in the foreground with the color scheme of blue, green, and black. Well I can see who is with who.

After a bit of time they both open their eyes and look at what is in their hands.

“So this is a PET, right?” Luna asks me

“Yep, and I also know who your partners are. Now you just need to raise them in the air and say Battle Routine set.”

They both hesitate at first then raise the PETs and say “Battle routine set!”

Then a flash of light goes off next to both of them. And when it dies down, standing next to Nightmare is Metalman. While the one standing next to Luna is Tomahawkman.

Tomahawkman then gets a wide grin on his face, “Finally I get to see some action round here. So who's first in line for a fight?” He then starts stretching out his arms. I then deadpan at him. He then looks at me and I could see his eyes start to twinkle as he suddenly rushes me. Fuck, I sometimes forget he is a battle junkie. I quickly dodge out of the way as his right arm changes into his signature tomahawk and slams down right where I used to be. He then looks towards me and with a smirk starts rushing me. I dodge each one of his swings and was waiting for my chance to Beast Out. Then he kicks me in the gut and brings to the ground. I try to lift his foot of me, until his tomahawk is at my neck. I look at him as he has a smile on his face as it quickly turns into a frown. He sighs as his arm changes back and holds out a hand for me as he gets off of me.

“You know, I was hoping you would’ve been ready for that.” He tells me as he lifts me back up.

“Well I’m sorry, I can always be prepared you know.” I tell him.

“Whatever.” He says as he crosses his arms.

I roll my eyes and look back over to the others. I see Metalman facepalming and shaking his head, while Nightmare looks pissed off. Celestia is back in Firesoul and is prepared for a fight. Luna is simply shaking her head with a frown.

“What?” Tomahawkman simply says as he looks at them.

“You could have seriously injured him!” Nightmare shouts at him.

Tomahawkman then simply puts his arm behind his head “Nah, I may be known for starting a fight but I know when to stop. I mean at what point did I ever want to kill him, if I even could though.”

Nightmare doesn’t say anything and is still fuming at him. Then Metalman puts a hand on her shoulder.

“Calm down.” Is all he says to her. She then closes her eyes as she does so.

“Ok anyway, Gregar what are we going to do now?”

“Tomahawkman go back and stand by Luna.” He nods his head as he does so. When he does Luna is glaring at him and he has a sheepish smile on his face while rubbing the back of his head. “Alright now Luna, Nightmare what you two are going to be going through is Double Soul.” I see Luna and Nightmare look excited for this. “Are you two ready then?”

They both nod “Alright now close you eyes and feel for the others soul, and when you have, you will know what to do.”

They then close their eyes as Celestia walks over to me, still in Firesoul I might add.

Then shortly afterward I hear them shout “Soul Unison activate: Tomahawksoul/Metalsoul.” Then the purple glow surrounds them and the light fuses them together.

When the Light is gone they are both in their soul unisons. Luna has her eyes closed but her armor is that, as was with Celestia in Firesoul, she is wearing the outfit Megaman does when in Tomahawksoul. Her leg armor is light green heavy boots and towards the bottom it becomes red. She is also wearing a tight fitting suit that is blue in design and has a white stripe on the sides. For the Navi mark it is the same on her PET which is a crescent moon background with a eagle as the foreground. To the sides of it though are a wing pattern. Her helmet covers her head and has three feathers sticking out from the left side of it. Her mane is now done into a single braid with a metallic silver clip near the base of it. The braid also reaches down to the center of her back.

I then look over at Nightmare. Her suit design is just like how Megaman’s is in Metalsoul. It is red, blue, black, and silver in color. Her gauntlets are interesting because they cover her entire hand in a metal fist which makes her fists twice as large, most likely for more powerful punches. On the wrists are cog wheels that add extra protection for her hands. The same things are on her shoulders, acting as guards. Her Navi mark is also just like on her PET with a full moon in the foreground while the background is a cog wheel. Her headpiece covers her entire head, I guess like Celestia she also has a face guard, and has two metal blades sticking out of the top of it. I then look behind her as see her mane is shorter as well and isn’t flowing.

They then open their eyes as they look upon their new bodies. Luna then looks over to me.

“So, who is going to be first?”

“Nightmare will learn first.”

“Why?” Luna simply asks.

“Well her move sets are a lot simpler than your will be, Luna.”

Luna nods her head in understanding. “Alright Nightmare time to begin.”

‘Metalman, can you hear me?’ Nightmare asks Metalman.

‘Yes.’ is the answer she receives.

‘Shall we begin?’

‘Yes, let us start with the buster.’

“So where are the targets?” she asks Gregar.

He simply points to where they are and she goes over and stand a bit away from them.

‘How is the buster formed?’

‘Imagine how Gregar uses his and you should be able to figure it out from there.’

‘Alright.’ Nightmare then closes her eyes and imagine in her head how the buster is formed. She then feels something up with her right arm and she opens her eyes. She then looks upon her right hand as it shoots back into her arm and is left with nothing there. Her eyes widen as she looks upon this. She then looks towards the target that is set up and aims towards it.

‘Hold on.’ Metalman suddenly interjects before she could fire.

‘What?’ Nightmare asks in slight alarm.

‘First do you know how to fire your buster?’ Nightmare stays silent after he asks that. ‘Well that answers that, next is your posture is all wrong. Your feet should be apart with your right foot forward and your left foot back a little.’ He then tells all of what should be done and NIghtmare adjusts her posture as per what Metalman has said.

‘Good, now to fire your buster imagine how you use your magic, but instead in your hand. You can charge your buster, but you will not be able to use any ranged attacks without using battle chips.’

‘Ok.’

‘One last thing, have Gregar set up a guard in front of the target, you will see why when you fire your buster.’

“Hey Gregar, can you set up a shield in front of the target?’

“Sure, one sec.” Gregar goes off and grabs one of the guards shields and puts it in front of the target. “There you go.”

Nightmare nods her heads and then focuses on the target. Soon a face mask covers her mouth and she fires her shot. She blinks in confusion and lowers her arm. She looks upon the shield as it has a huge hole it as does the target.

“What??” Is all she says.

‘Your buster shots can bust through any shield. I am a breaker type of Navi which is how it allows me to do this.’

‘Breaker type?’

‘Yes, breaker type of Navis can destroy any type of physical defense, save for if they go invisible.’

‘I see.’ Nightmare says in intrigue.

‘Now go up to the target and charge your buster.’

Nightmare then walks forward and stops in front of the target. Soon a dark blue glow is coming from her buster and as she releases it her fist becomes double in size and punches the target, completely shattering it.

‘Woah.’

‘Exactly, for me I am more perfect for getting up close and personal. Now there are a few other things we can try if you wish.’

‘I would.’ Nightmare says in glee.

‘Good, now go back to your original position.’

Nightmare walks back and gets ready.

‘Now this time, do not focus on your buster focus only on the target.’

Nightmare then lets out a breath and focuses on the other targets. Suddenly she hears something behind her and soon she sees three missiles come from behind her and impact three of the targets.

“What the hell?!” she exclaims.

‘That was metal missile, it can target and lock onto three targets. Now try focusing on one target this time.’

“Alright.” She hesitantly says, and she then focuses on one of the targets, soon she feels something in her right hand and looks upon a metal saw blade in her hand and lifts it to her face in wonder.

‘Throw it at the target.’ Metalman tells her. She then does as he says and tosses at the target. She watches as it goes circles around the target at first then slices right through it and then disappears.

“Awesome.” She then stands straight and drops out of Metalsoul. As she does she stumbles a little and is about to fall when she feels arms hold her up. She looks behind her and she sees Gregar holding her.

“I see you need a bit of help.”

“And what if I didn’t ask for your help?” She says with a smirk.

“Then I would be there for you regardless if you asked or not.”

Nightmare then brings one of her hands to his face and holds it there. She then stands up with his help and embraces him to which he embraces her back.

“I love you.” She whispers in his ear.

“I love you too, Nightmare.”

They stay like that for about a minute, before they part from each other and walk back to Luna and Celestia. Luna just playfully glares at them both while Celestia looks at the floor and has her arms behind her back. Nightmare and Gregar share a look before they reach them both.

“Alright Luna your turn.”

“Right.”

Luna then goes over and stands in front of the targets.

‘Alright Tomahawkman, how do we do this?’

‘Well what we need to do is basically the same as Nightmare, get the correct posture for your buster and then fire it. Do that by imagining using your magic from your hand instead of your head.’

‘How do you know this all?’

‘I asked Metalman.’

‘... Oh.’ Luna says in disappointment.

‘Yeah I know, I don’t know everything. But eh, what can you do. Now wanna hear what else you got because of this.’

‘I guess.’ Luna states with a sigh.

‘Alright well first off you got super armor, which basically means you are harder to stagger. You also have Status guard, basically any status ailment, save for poison and paralysis from counter hits, nothing will affect you. You also can use my tomahawk for some of my attacks.’ He says.

‘Well that is nice to know, what about battlechips and such.’

‘Right now we aren’t worrying about that, we just wanna see how well you do in Double Soul before getting to that point.’

‘Alright.’

Luna then closes her eyes and gets into the same position as Nightmare was in. She then feels something in her right hand and then opens her eyes, aims towards the target and fires off her buster. She looks at where she aimed and sees it hit near the center of the target. She smiles at this and the begins charging her buster.

‘Before you fire your charge shot, I suggest getting a little closer towards the target, otherwise you won’t hit it.’

Luna raises an eyebrow at this. ‘Ok.’

As Luna gets closer she sees her buster giving off a light blue glow, similar to her magic. She gets within ten meters of the target.

‘Ok now your charge shot isn’t really a shot at all, it is a swing attack. But don’t let the fool you, it has ridiculous range. It can reach forward by ten meters and from right to left to about fifteen meters.’ Tomahawkman says.

‘Seriously?!’ she asks with wide eyes.

‘Yep, there is a program advance that has the same range called Life Sword. Now unleash it.’

Luna then brings her right arm across her chest and prepares to swing. She then unleashes her shot and her buster changes into the the tomahawk and as she swings she notices it is glowing slightly. She then does the full swing and the target in front of her is cut in half, and she can only stare in wonder. She then looks at her hand and sees it is still as the axe.

‘Now throw it.’

Luna nods her head and brings the axe backwards and then launches it forwards towards what's left of the target. It goes forwards and hits the target, but instead of sticking into it, it comes flying back. Luna looks on in shock before she brings her right arm forward. As the axe head comes closer towards her it stops right before hitting her and connects back to her arm and it changes back into a hand.

‘Well we should work on using the air raid attack. But overall you did really well.’ Tomahawkman tells her in encouragement.

‘Thanks.’ Luna then stands straight and walks back towards the others.

“Well that was quite the experience wasn’t it Luna.” Gregar says to Luna as she gets back.

“It was.” Luna replies with a smile.

“Well now it is time for physical training. So Luna, Nightmare pick a partner and lets start.” Luna walks over to Celestia, while Nightmare stays by Gregar and goes back into Double Soul.

“You ready Nightmare?” Gregar asks her as she walks a few feet before turning around.

“Yeah, I’m ready, but are you?” She replies with a smirk as she raises her fists and her faceplate comes up.

“Bring it.” Gregar simply says.

The training between me and Nightmare went on for a while, mainly me getting her used to her movements. She eventually did get used to them but it wasn’t as fast as I thought. While she has gotten used to be in and out of Double Soul, she just isn’t used to the somewhat slow movements. I told her that over time that restriction won’t be there, and she accepted that. We went a few rounds of fighting before stopping because she was near to the point that Celestia was at last week. Right now I am resting with Nightmare against a tree overlooking Luna and Celestia’s mock fight.

“So how long have they been fighting like this now?” Nightmare asks me.

“About an hour or so. I am thinking of stopping it soon because while Celestia holds the element advantage over Luna right now, she won’t be able to last much longer.”

“Element advantage?”

“Yep, Tomahawkman is wood element while Fireman is fire element, obviously.”

“So what is break element good against?” She asks me in curiosity.

“It is good against sword type enemies. However enemies who use cursor type of attacks you will take quite a bit of damage.”

“I see.”

“Yeah, but don’t worry soon you will understand this much better. Now though time to stop them before it gets a little out of hand.” I say as I begin to get up.

Nightmare groans and holds me down. She then gives me the puppy dog eyes “A few more minutes, please.” She pleads for me.

I look at her and I can feel my will crumbling slowly. I then shake my head and smile at her.

“Sorry Moon, gotta stop them.” I then scratch behind her ears and get out of her grip, reluctantly.

“Fine.” She then pouts at me which still looks adorable to me.

I then look towards Luna and Celestia and Beast Out. “Alright you two, time to stop.” I see Luna stop mid swing and look over at me and nods. Celestia then drops to the ground and gets out of Firesoul. She then goes over and rests near Nightmare, while Luna on the other hand doesn’t look tired at all.

“I see you are still good to go then.” I tell her with a hidden smile.

“Yeah.” She then beams at me. “I feel like I could keep fighting all day, but I know that as soon as I stop I would drop to the floor wouldn’t I?”

“Yeah you would, but don’t worry take five for now.” Luna then nods and walks over to Celestia and Nightmare to rest up. She drops out of Tomahawksoul and all three of them start to have a conversation. They all look happy right now, but as I read the mood I can tell that Celestia and Nightmare are a bit distant with each other. I shake my head at them and look towards the sky. I wonder what will hap-

‘Key Item acquired: Token.’

Well… I guess this just got a little more interesting now. I think about the token and then it appears in my hand. It is a feather of sorts and I then hear.

“Heros, Villians, everyone or thing in between! May these items help guide you through your journeys. I don’t know who’s gonna get what but if the power they grant you isn’t enough or if just need a friend, raise the item and say these words:

I beseech the, Heroic Analog of Lore, aid me this day Azure Darksoul!”

Ok then, well that was a lot longer than Ken’s was, but eh whatever it works. I then scan the token and it is called the Feather of a Roc, and it shows me I can have greater reflexes at the cost of some magic. Well I can’t use its power, but I think Numberman might be able to tinker with a bit to help me.

So I then raise it up and say. “I beseech the, Heroic Analog of Lore, aid me this day Azure Darksoul!” Well here goes nothing.

Weapon: Tuning Blade

'Eyes, eyes eyes eyes...Stupid Elements didn't tell me the override function would blind meeeee....What is that?'

Un-shielding my eyes I look upon what I can only assume to be Battle Network Rock in Gregar armor.

'Of all the evolved...I get summoned by a cybeast. Who is...not amused and...SWEET MAMA JAMA Royalty!!'

Behind said summoner were who I could only assume to be a worried Princess Luna, Celestia, and...Tomahawk...man? Yeah...I don't so much as breathe and Tomahawk(wo?)man throws a silver tomahawk at me and rushes in on foot.

“Jumpy! You must be the threat!!” I dodge letting the ax fly it's course and rush in claws bared. Our appendages meet and at this point I'm finally taking a good look at the bust size of my opponent and blush. Not that the helmet shows that...

“Hey pal, you ever play arcade fighters?” I ask wickedly. “What?” Before she even has time to retort I catch her with a Scum Gale and throw her behind me in hopes of a combo.

I see Tomahawk motion with her arm and I'm immediately impaled by sharper than steel bamboo shoots. Now I'm bleeding here, but it's not so bad...until the Silver Tomahawk I thought I dodged catches me in the shoulder. Note: Silver Tomahawk curves around.

As a one third Were-wolf, silver has a funny way of element seeking for Quote: GREAT JUSTICE. In this case I get a shot of Ice cold...Ice...right into my bloodstream and I drop on my knee like a brick.

“Did you truly think we would fall to such obvious tactics.” Says Tomahawkwoman.

“I su-su-su...suppose no-no-no-not, but if-i-i-it's any consol.....ation. Hey look a distraction!”

“What!?” Shouts my opponent. In the background I hear several “LUNA NO”s and I'm already in the air and on her back aiming with an Ura 1219 Shiki: Honoo Hotogi. The purple flames consume my opponent and I quickly backdash into my Taladosian Robes and load up a Denjin fireball.

My opponent at this point is glitching out bad, but you know, I got impaled in the chest.

Possible outcome:

As my opponent gets to her feet, I release the full charge Denjin...only for Gregar to deflect it with naught but a wide-sword.

"That's enough! Both of you."

"Wha-She impaled me through the chest!"

"He used a distraction against us!" Cried Tomahawkwoman.

"You impaled me. Through. The. Che-blach!!" 'Oh God that wasn't vomit. And now I'm dying...fuck. Goodbye cruel world...'

I only have one thing to say to which I just witnessed. “FOR FUCKS SAKE LUNA!”

Luna then turns towards me with a shocked expression “But this Demon has the gall to appear-”

“THAT'S BECAUSE I SUMMONED HIM!”

“Oh.” Is all I get in response from her. She then sheepishly looks down at her hooves with her hands behind her back, while her axe turned back into an arm.

I sigh heavily and walk next to what I assume is Azure and activate a Candle 3 battlechip next to him and say “You’re gonna be alright. I assume you’re Azure, right?”

“Yes...please...anti...tox-i-i-i-in. Can’t...Stay awa-wake. Much long….Medic…” He says to me, and he looks to be sweating a lot and his wounds aren't closing, not good.

“Lung got...clipped...I s-s-s-see...a l-light.”

Well shit, this is bad. I mean Tomahawkman can hit hard but… wait antitoxin? I then scan him quickly and find out he is one third werewolf… and the tomahawk is made of silver. Fuck.

I quickly think of what to do, then I get an idea. I quickly pull out the navimark of Meddy.

“Battle Routine Set!”

“Execute!”

“What’s the problem Gregar?”

“Azure here needs some antitoxin, his wounds won’t close even with the help of Candle 3.”

“On it,” Meddy then sets down her bag next to me and quickly gets to work on Azure. “How exactly did he get like this?”

“From the silver in the tomahawk.”

Meddy raises an eyebrow from behind her Orange glasses “He got this injury from silver? So he is part werewolf then?”

“Yes he is.” Meddy then goes into her bag and pulls out a needle, I scan it quickly and it is then antitoxin.

“Alright Azure, here is the antitoxin. Not gonna lie it will hurt.” I then nod at Meddy and she injects the needle after disinfecting his arm to put it in.

“Oh that sti-i-i-ings...Oh hey...Meddy...My faaaa-favorite navi. You’re cuter up close and personal.”

Is he really trying to hit on a Navi? I then see Meddy give a sweet smile and a giggle.

“Oh you, the pain is only beginning, it actually gets much worse because of how much damage you’re body has endured.”

...I forgot she can be scary sometimes without even trying.

“Now, Azure” Meddy begins “The pain will continue for about a few minutes before dissipating. Gregar make sure to hold him down in case he starts thrashing.” I nod

“Good, now I shall go and meet up with Luna.” She then leaves and grabs Luna by the arm dragging her off, all the while with a gentle smile on her face. I then look back towards Azure and give a half-hearted chuckle.

“She gets serious when someone is injured for stupid reasons, sorry bout that.”

“”Hey it’s cool...did she say thrashiiiii...Hoh...okay, I can feeel why she’d-” His body then starts thrashing.

And there is the thrashing about. I then hold him down, at first it was difficult, until I added more of my strength then it became easier. After the few minutes have gone by he stops thrashing and he starts looking better.

“How do you feel now?”

“Like I need a shower, I don’t suppose you could maybe let me use a bathroom or something?”

I begin to answer, until Nightmare Moon comes over and answers for me.

“Of course, it is not every day I get to meet a displaced.”

“Dis-who now?” Asks Azure. “Oh...the Evolved I saw in my visions! Well, the Element’s visions...images...I...Huh.”

Nightmare then covers her mouth to suppress a laugh. “I only know of the displaced because of Gregar here.” She then points to me. “Displaced are those who were taken from their home by buying something or being given something that transports them to an infinite amount of Equestria’s.”

“Oh snap! That’s kinda what happened to me, only I dug my own grave on that one.” Says Azure meekly.

I then butt in before he gets more depressed “Hey it sometimes isn’t all that bad for others. I mean, in terms of first meetings on Equestria, I got the worse end of the spectrum.”

“Endless war?”

I then drop my head and I can feel the tears well up in Nightmares eyes. I then look Azure in the eye while I can feel them glowing “Nothing but death and torture for one hundred years straight and causing a mass killing spree within one year of being free.”

“Lost a wife?”

“Actually you’re looking at my wife right now.” I say pointing to Nightmare Moon.

Azure then waves with a small smile. He continues with: “Fifteen hundred year imprisonment?”

Both me and Nightmare Moon flinch at that “Well there is a bit more of a story to that. One that caused Nightmare here and Luna to end up on the moon and me nearly killing them all.”

“Eesh and I thought Celestia berating me for-wait up hold the phone! That’s Nightmare Moon!? Wait...what…?”

I then rub the back of my head. “Yeah the one that was dragged off with Meddy was Luna in Double Soul. Also Nightmare Moon never was the other half of Luna here in this Equestria, just the middle sibling between the three of them.”

“It’s good to know Luna is still a battle junky somewhere. And uh...If you ever find yourself in my neck of the woods...don’t look in Twilight’s basement. Oh, right. I need to give you this.” Azure pulls a scroll from seemingly nowhere and holds it in his hand.

I reach out for it and take it from him “What is this?”

“A letter I’m supposed to give to summoners, basically a contract. If you accept, you get to call in a favor and or a moment of my time. The favor must be repaid with an act of equal value but the ‘moment of my time’ holds no strings.”

“Seems fair enough.” Then Celestia decides to come over.

“I believe you asked for a shower correct, Azure?”

Azure’s face brights up at this. “Oh God yes, I haven’t bathed in quite a few days.”

Celestia then smiles at him “Then if you would follow me.” she says as a flash of light goes off and she is no longer in shorts and a t-shirt, but back into a formal- form fitting dress.

“You won’t be joining me will you?” Asks Azure jokingly.

Celestia then glares at him and then goes into firesoul while the her body is giving off intense heat “Care to repeat that?”

“Sorry, I kinda hold a grudge, not your fault. I apologize for my rude comment. Unless of course YOU want to run me into the ground.”

Celestia then waves him off as she drops out of Firesoul “No harm done, but how much of a bitch is your Celestia?”

“The list is large, biggest things she did...made Luna use the elements on two other ponies before I let myself get captured, hunted down a large faction of ponies, griffon, and dragon, tortured them and told me in GREAT detail in how she pumped each for info and I could use that shower now…”:

I then tell Azure in a dead serious tone as I feel myself going into Super Beast Out, as the ground is cracking around me and electricity is coursing on my body “If you ever need my help for ANYTHING that deals with her being beaten the shit out of, I want first in line.”

“Judging by the horrifying aura you’re giving off, I’m more afraid you’d be on MY ass if I didn’t.” Said Azure with just a bit more fear in his voice.

Celestia then leads Azure away with simply saying “Remember when he said about those one hundred years, that happened when he first arrived here. He hates it when others are forced into those situations. I will give a bit more insight about it away from him”

A few minutes later me and Azure have made it out of the danger zone, thank the sun for that.

“I am sorry for how he acted, he just doesn’t like tyrants all that much.”

“Who does.” Said Azure absent-mindedly.

“Gregar. To think even now after three thousand years it still affects him like this.” I tell Azure with a hint of sadness in my voice.

“Whether it be a day or a thousand, a wound that deep doesn’t heal.”

“I know, when I first met him I didn’t know what to think.” I then smile “But Nightmare was able to help him, and because of that they were able to grow closer.”

“Love then?”

“Yes, the two of them were married for seven years before we first fought Sombra, fifteen hundred years ago.” I sigh sadly “Before he was sealed away he used a dark chip on Gregar and myself, Luna, and Nightmare nearly died from him because of it. The only way we could save him was to use the elements on him. It worked by putting him to sleep. I still didn’t like that decision. From there we all grew distant from one another, and I didn’t want that to happen. Because of that Nightmare's grief got the better of her and she wanted to either take my magic and have me join Luna in slumber or kill me and take my magic anyway. There is so much I regret and so little I can think of to make up for it.”

“You have my sympathy and my ear, it’s like talking to a brick wall...if a brick wall could cry.” Said Azure with a slight smile.

I give him a sad smile “Thank you. And now there is another issue I have that I don’t know how it will turn out.” I finish with a slight blush appearing on my face.

“Ooh, I need details!” Said Azure with an excited smile. “If there’s anything I enjoy the most, it’s cheesy romance situations.”

I cover my mouth to stifle a giggle “Well over the years when Luna and Nightmare were on the moon and Gregar was sleeping, I tried to get into a relationship, but sadly it never got past a second date.” I then begin to blush, hard. “And, well, I recently asked Gregar if I could be in a herd with him and Nightmare. The reason why is because he is not only kind and caring, but he will try and cheer you up not matter who it is. And he actually treats me as a mare and not a princess who should be bowed to every single time she walks out the damn door.”

“You and the Cadence from my world would get along swimmingly. She sneaks out at night in this wicked get up and scares the living shit out of any noble or guard that treated her like a “Delicate Flower” that day.”

I then let out a laugh at that “That sounds something I could get behind. I also would like to meet your Cadence one day, but for now I can’t.” I then notice we are by one of the one too many bathrooms in the castle. “Well unfortunately our conversation will have to end here, go ahead and take your shower. I have to attend to one of the most boring jobs ever, paperwork.”

“”Wait! I need scale polish!”

Without looking back I teleport said object into his hands “Here you go.” I then look back at him one last time “Also, Gregar would never hurt those he calls friends.” I then look forwards and heads towards my study to get to work on the paperwork.

“I’ll commit it to memory.” Says Azure to no one in particular. “Hey neat, this is the stuff Spike uses!”

I am currently sitting down in the training area with Nightmare hugging me while we just stare at the sky with me playing music.

“Hey who’s playing Guitar Hero?” Says a rather shiny Azure.

I look behind me and see Azure and I quirk an eyebrow “Well don’t you look better and less smelly.” I then have my mp3 appear “Also the music is coming from this.”

“Dude! Real music! You wouldn’t happen to have anything off of the Megaman X command mission soundtrack? Also, my arm and chest wound didn’t heal right, is that normal?”

“Hmm, Well about the wound, I think Meddy should have one last look before it is all done. And about the music.” I think it over before I pick one. “Does this work?”

Azure turns so that his side is facing Gregar. In a somewhat playful manner, Azure unfurls a set of wings and says “You’re finished.” And begins to emulate the Calamity Arts.

“Oh really now? Bring it”

As with the change in music, Azure is now emulating the Ninetails stance. “I’m looking for a fight.”

“Heh and y-” “DON’T YOU FUCKING DARE!!” I hear Meddy shout at the two of us as I cancel the music.

Meddy then walks and smacks both of us across the face “Gregar you should know better than to do something like when he was healed ONLY AN HOUR AGO!” I meekly nod my head, I don’t want to die by a pissed off nurse.

She then points to Azure “And YOU, I don’t want you fighting just because of music, I don’t care if it would have been a mock fight. NO FIGHTING! AM I CLEAR!?”

“Can I at least throw a small fireball?” Asks Azure somewhat scared.

Meddy then gives Azure a piercing glare, as if she is trying to burn him inside out. I feel your pain bro. “No.” Is all she says to him.

“Doc’s orders then.”

Meddy nods her head. “Good, now let me see those wounds.”

Azure pulls away his robe and reveals an almost naked form, had it not been for the lack of any visual evidence.

“So, my scales should have grown back, but there’s this large mass of flesh instead.”

Meddy walks up to him and touches the scars while mumbling to herself. After about a minute of her going over the wounds she has a verdict. “Hmm, while that is a little troubling your scales will be able to grow back, but not for at least a month. However when they grow back these scales will not be as durable as your current ones I’m afraid.”

“Hmm...well as troubling as that sounds it won’t cause any health risk will it?”

“As long as you don’t get into ANY fights, there will be no issues with the scales growing back. At most though it will take up to three months.”

“I might die before then, so no troubles” Says Azure in a whisper. “So no health risks?”

“None, except around those areas are more susceptible to damage.” Then Meddy pats him on the cheek “Take it easy ok?”

“I will! Thanks Doc, you’re the best!” Says Azure with genuine glee.

“Your welcome.” She then reaches up and kisses him on the cheek before disappearing in a flash of blue light.

“... Did she just-” Azure has stars in his eyes and a wide grin. “I was just kissed by best Navi!”

I deadpan “She did.” I then shake my head and grip my Navimark and in a flash I have another one in my hand “Anyway here you go Azure.” I then hand him my token.

“Oh cool, I guess this means you’ll be signing that contract?” Almost as if a complete one eighty Azure’s face goes dark. “The Elements can be kind, but cruel as well. Think your request over well. BYE!!”

In a bright flash, Azure’s arms become large and emerald like, gold bracers on his wrists. Biting the token he rips open a purple vortex, jumps in, and seals it behind him.

“Well I was hoping for a better goodbye than that, but oh well.” I then look at my hand and clench it ‘I know cruelty all too well’.

“Gregar, are you alright?” Nightmare says to me in concern.

I drop out of Beast Out and smile at her “Yeah, i’m fine.”
