Chapter 26: Chapter 25: When in doubt, Assassins

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

‘Thirty seconds.’ Counting down the time of my targets arrival while I stood up top the clock tower was something I've grown to do a lot.

My name is Ben. No surname, never knew my parents and raised by a secret organization known as Hydra. I'm going to skip introduction and say that I've been sent into Equestria and after two years of absolutely nothing, I started making a teleporter with a few scraps of Stark industries grade A suits.

After months of trial and error, I had finally made it and left Equestria, sure it meant leaving Twilight but I can't stay and she knows that. I didn't want to but until I can get my Hydra training and teachings out of my head, I can't and it's worse that it affects me in whole different way than Bucky.

Hopping around different variations of Equestria was a hell of a sight to see, the money was good too. I hop around world after world, completing contracts of various things.

Recently I was paid to kill a woman by the name of Taliyah, they said I'll know who she is as soon as see her. Speaking of which, there she is.

She was accompanied by Twilight and her friends. I frowned at this before stealthily made my down without being seen, which is hard since it’s midday but I can manage.


Taliyah


“So happens next?” Twilight asked. I smiled a little bit as we walked. I heard Rainbow tinker with something behind me, ignoring what we are talking about.

“Well I made a stoneboard and traveled for about five miles before I barely caught up to him, for a little guy Kennen sure is quick.” I told her. I looked at Rainbow and smiled. “Maybe faster than you Rainbow.”

“Huh, what? Who’s faster?” She asked. I chuckled at her.

“Ya now that you call Twi an egghead since she always in her books but ya are always tinkering with something, I guess that makes ya a gearhead,” Aj said to her. Rainbow glared at her.

“Hey, I’m trying to make really cool stuff! It’s also not my fault that my dad had a tinker's shop when I was growing up.” She replied.

“Wasn’t saying it’s a bad thing, just that ya a gearhead.” They went back and forth at this for sometime. I shook my head at this and laughed and put my arm over Twilight.

“So, are we still on tonight?” I asked her. She blinked at me and smiled.

“I believe so, I don’t have any plans that are needed to be done so tonight is free.” She told me. I smiled and was about to say something but someone pushed me.

“Look out!” Rainbow yelled. I hit the ground and looked at her wondering what was going on as I saw her shield was up and saw a knight fell to the ground. What the?

Hope I didn't interrupt anything.” His voice was muffled by a mask as I looked at him as he was a few inches away from me. I quickly backed up from him.

“W-who are you?!” I asked him in a panick.

Does that really matter?” He said before flicking both his wrists, causing two rope like things to fall out of his gauntlets. “If I were you I'd worry about myself in this situation.” He said before the two rope like things sparked.

“Ah say ya need to know who’s behind ya.” Aj said as she roundhouse kicked him into a wall.

“You know that I would really love to see how that thing works but it’s better if it’s not trying to kill my friends.” Rainbow commented as she pulled a hex-tec pistol out of her back pocket. It glowed blue.

Looks like I owe Wade the fifty grand after all. Shame.” His voice was heard as the rope whipped around Applejack before sparking to life again.

Gotta love Whiplash, he made killer toys.” He said. I heard AJ scream in pain as she fell to the ground. Rainbow fired her pistol at him but they just bounced off.

“Ok, that really cool but this really sucks right now.” She said as she jumped back. I was getting up to help but felt a hand on my shoulder.

“No, he looks like he’s after you we can keep him busy while you get going,” Twilight said. I looked at her as if she’s crazy.

“But…” She cut me off with her putting a finger on my lips.

“It’s fine, we’re tougher than we look, now go,” she said as she got up. I saw magic glowed around her horn and hands. I blinked back my tears as I made a board out of stone and got on it and bolted. Why is this happening to me, I just wanted today to be normal!... Well as normal as a Displaced can have… wait Displaced! I went to the Everfree and jumped off my stoneboard and hid behind a tree. I lifted my arm up to see a bracer that Rarity made a long time ago. It had two birds flying towards a light brown gem. I put my thumb on the gem and felt the gem glow.

“Nick help! Someone is trying to kill me!” I said to it. I removed my thumb off the gem as it glowed brightly as a beam shot out and made a golden portal. I blinked at this. “Ah hell this will give away my spot.”

Really? Now you think that.” I heard someone say. I turned and saw him standing two feet away from me. Well Crap.

“What do you want! Why are you trying to kill me?!?” I yelled at him.

Are you Taliyah.” He said. I blinked at him.

“Yes, well kinda, sort of.” I said. I started to back away.

I didn't hear a no~.” He said in childlike tone. He then took out a small blade.

You got a lot of money on your head and I've been hired to take it. Nothing personal, just business.” He said as he started getting closer and as he did, he spun the blade around in his hand.

“P-please don’t do this.” I said as my back hits another tree. He got to about a foot away from me.

The League paid me in advance, can't back out now.” He said. He sprinted forward and jabbed his knife at me. I closed my eyes as I waited for it.

Clang!

I didn’t feel anything. I opened my eyes and looked down. I saw the knife hit me but something stopped it. The man looked at it.

Ugh, what is it now!?” He shouted. I looked at him as a red claw looking thing grabbed his shoulder. We both looked at the claw and back at whoever was attached to. It was some sort of demon.

Who the-” He didn’t finish as the demon threw him deeper into the forest. I looked at the demon as it looked at me.

“Are you okay, Rose?” it asked me. I blinked at him.

“N-Nick? Is that you?” I asked him. It nodded and looked down where he threw the other guy.

“I’ll be right back, go hide somewhere.” He said as he blurred away.


Jace, five minutes before hand.


I walked down the path in Ponyville to pick up some stuff for Stella. She’s about ten or eleven in Metaling years and boy she can eat, and she can eat anything one time I found her eating a red mana gem and said it was too spicy. I chuckled a bit as I walked. I went down to the path as I heard a voice that I know, but it sounded scared.

‘Nick help! Someone is trying to kill me!’ It said. My eyes widen as the golden portal opened. I dropped the bag and ran into the portal. ‘Who ever thinks they can kill my sister is sadly mistaken.’


Now


I walked out to a clearing to see where I threw the guy. I saw him getting up from a dirt pile that he made as a crash landing. I walked towards him cracking my knuckles.

“You have a lot of balls to try to kill her you know that,” I said to him.

Shut up. Shut up. Shut up!” I heard him shout as he clutched his head.

I saw him get up and started rapidly taking off his armor but as he reached for his left gauntlet, his right hand stopped inches away from.

We follow orders, no matter what.” He said. I tilted my head at him. We? I saw him flick his wrist as a whip that wrapped around my left arm. It starts to spark, I looked at him.

“Ow… that hurts…” I said in a bored tone. I grabbed the whip and pulled making him shoot forward and I punched him in the face. He shot back as the whip snapped, he flew back and slammed into a tree. I walked towards him.

“Alright let me tell you what you did wrong you went and tried to kill someone very close to me, so I'm going to say this once,” I got to him and grabbed by his neck and pulled him up into the air. “Don't. Kill. My. Sister. GOT IT!”

Too late to back away, besides, I'm not the one that wants her dead. I'm just the guy the some League guy hired.” He said. I frowned at him.

“Why would they want you to kill Rose?" I asked him. He looked at me funny.

What.” I heard him say. “I was sent to kill Taliyah, someone in the league doesn't want her in their ranks.” He said. I tilted my head at him.

“And last I checked, Taliyah didn't have a sibling.” He added afterwards

“Did that guy look like a giant golden bird?!" I heard someone yell behind me. I looked over and saw Rose standing there.

“I told you to hide!” I yelled at her.

“Do I ever listen to you?” she said as she looks at him. “Again, big golden bird that looks kinda like an emperor of some sorts, like this.” she then moved her hands as a stone shot up and broke apart as a figure was standing there.

“Did he look like this?” She asked him. I watched him as he looked at the statue

Yeah.” He answered. Rose groaned a bit and facepalmed I looked at her.

“You played the game more than me, you know the guy?” I asked her.

“He's Azir, the Emperor of the Sands, in the lore Taliyah and Azir aren't on friendly terms,” she then looked at the man that I was holding. "Also I'm not Taliyah! Kinda, sort of… Err I just really look like her and use her powers… and uses her name, that's what a Displacement does right?” she asked me.

"Something like that,” I said. I looked at him and dropped him. I looked down at him.

Then why didn't you say anything!?” He shouted at Rose.

“I’m sorry I was busy RUNNING FOR MY LIFE FROM YOU!” she yelled back.

I had asked if you were Taliyah, your answer and I quote, ‘Yes, well kinda, sort of’.” He said as he stood up.

“I panicked!” She said. I shook my head and looked at the assassin,

“Listen now that you know that she’s not your taught there’s no point of you staying here.” I told him.

Problem, when you threw me, you not only embedded this,” He said as he turned around and gestured a large and sharp stone embedded in his back before turning back around. “But you also broke my only means in leaving.” He said as he took out a small device. I looked at the device and I dropped my form. I was dizzy for a minute and shook my head.

“Huh that’s some token, never seen something like that before,” I said as Rose walked over and looked at it.

Not a token, this a teleporter more specifically this is Wade Wilson's Teleporter. I paid him a hundred grand for it and a free coupon to Krispy Kreme.” He said. I looked at him and at Rose. She had a shocked look as well.

“You’re… not a displaced?” I asked him. He shook his head. “FUCK! NOT AGAIN!”

“He’s going to kill us, once was a warning but now he’s going to kill us…” Rose said as she kneeled into a ball.

What are you talking about?” He asked. I looked at him for a minute.

“Please tell me that you weren’t trying to save the world from some evil monster or monsters or something,” I asked him.

No, I travel the multiverse and if I'm not mistaken, you're worried about..what the hell was his name?” He trailed off before snapping his fingers. “Saanvodkiin!” He exclaimed.

“Yeah him but since you travel the multiverse that means we’re in the clear right?” Rose asked. I looked at her and shrugged.

“Don’t know, if we find a giant armored dragon knocking at our doors then it would be a no.” I told her.

He's one of my clients, pays well.” He said before reaching up for his mask and taking it off. He was a normal human male with a large scar going across his face.

“Anyway, since no one is trying to kill each other, let’s figure out how to fix your device.” I said to him

“Oh don't worry, I can fix this with parts of the suit I'm wearing.” He said before picking up a discarded gauntlet from the grass.

“You sure? I know someone that would be happy to fix it, along with looking at your suit.” Rose said. I looked at her.

“You do?” I asked. She nodded.

“I'll agree to let him or her fix the teleporter and check my suit as an apology for almost killing you.” He said before taking hold of the large stone embedded in his back and yanked it off, leaving a large hole that revealed his spine, lungs and a bit of his heart.

“That stung.” He said before tossing the large rock away.

“I think I’m going to be sick.” Rose said as she covered her mouth.

“Be lucky you're not with Wade Wilson, he's much worse than I am.” The assassin said as the skin along with some muscle on his back started reforming before fully covering the large wound in a layer of skin.

“Much better.” He said as he twisted his arm a little.

“Right, so let’s go find whoever can fix your teleporter Mr. Assassin.” I turned to Rose. “Lead on Rose.”

“Call me all you want, but my name is Ben.” The assassin said. I shrugged and we all went off, along the way I waved my hand and put up an illusion. I looked like a dark blue stallion, Rose looked at me with a frown.

“Why did you do that?” She asked.

“Reasons.” I said to her.


Taliyah/Rose


We got back to town with not a lot of trouble. I asked around to see where my friends are and was told that they are in the hospital and so we headed that way. When we arrive I asked what room they are at and headed that way.

Once we got to the room I went in to see Aj with some bandages where the whip hit her. Rainbow had less bandages and Twilight was sitting in a chair. She looked at me and smiled and ran up to hug me.

“I was so worried about you.” She said to me, I hugged her back.

“I’m fine, I’m fine Twi uhhh… can you not freak out in the next few minutes.” I asked her. She frowned at me for a minute until she looked behind me and her eyes widen. “Look I can explain.”

“You better, why is the stallion that tried to kill you right behind you?!?” She asked.

“Wait What!” Rainbow yelled as she got out of her bed to look. She frowned at Ben. “Got a lot of nerve coming back, ready for round two.”

Ben rolled his eyes before leaving the room while muttering to himself. Nick rolled his eyes.

“It’s not like that, you see…” I told them the whole thing but leaving some parts out. When I finished AJ looked at me.

“So he got the wrong one because ya look like her,” she said. I nodded.

“Yeah something like that, but right know his teleporter is busted and it's needs repairs, so…” I looked at Rainbow as she looked at me and blinked.

“Wait you want me to fix it, no way!" She yelled as she crossed her arms.

“Come on RD, you're the only one that knows how to repair it,” I said to her.

“Sorry but no and there's nothing you can changed my mind.” she told me. I looked at her and sighed.

“I got two things, one: it's a teleporter that's from another world and two: he's going to let you take a look at his suit.” I told her. She stared at me for a good minute as I saw her ear twitched a bit.

“Bring him to my shop in ten minutes.” she said as she bolted out of the room. I chuckled a bit and looked at AJ as she looked at Nick.

“Who are you?” she asked him.

“Jace, close friend of Taliyah.” he said. I giggled at this. He always tries to be mysterious, mostly he fails.

“Well nice ta meet ya Jace.” AJ said as she offers her hand for him.

“Same,” he replied. Twilight sat beside me we watched this. I smiled at her and saw Jace looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

“Well I guess everything is going to be fine, I think.” Twilight stated. I nodded.

“Yup, oh but Ben doesn't know where Rainbow’s shop is at, I need to show him where it is.” I said out loud. Twilight frowned at this.

“I uhh think it's better if you didn't show him the way.” Twilight told me.

“Twilight, it's fine, he's not coming after me,” I told her. She looked down at her legs.

“But still…”

“I can take him,” Jace said. We looked at him as he smiled at us.

“You? But you just got here, you don't know where it is.” she said to him.

“I can find my way around, I have my tricks.” He said as he walked out of the room.


Jace


I headed out of the hospital and found Ben leaning against a wall.

“Hey, it seems that there's a shop that can fix your teleporter so let's go.” I said to him. I casted a spell that will show me where to go. I saw a blue magic trail that I can only see that shows me where to go.

“Tell me, are you familiar with Captain America?” He asked as he stared down at the floor. I thought about it as we walked.

“Heard of him, never really cared for him,” I answered him. He looked at me and I shrugged. “Few of my friends are big fans of him and tried to make me a fan but again I never really cared about old wonder boy.”

“His friend, Bucky was a part of a secret terrorist organization called Hydra, he was my cellmate but unlike him, I was raised by the group. The Cap had found out that Bucky was framed in a bombing by a crazy psycho and the Avengers were after him, all except one.” He said with a finger up. “Can you guess who that one was?” He said. I didn't say anything as we turned a few corners as I followed the trail.

“I'm going to guess it was Cap," I said without looking at him.

“Even when half the Avengers turning against him, he stayed loyal to Bucky while I left my home and my loved ones behind.” He said as he pulled the glove of his right hand, revealing a golden ring. I didn't say anything to him as we continue on for a few minutes.

“I don't know much about him but I met people who has that level of loyalty, and I know the pain of leaving others that you care about.” I told him.

“I chose to leave.” He said, sadness could be heard through his tone. “I couldn't stay in my own Equestria.” He added afterwards. I looked at him a for a moment.

“Why not?” I asked him.

“I'm mentally unstable.” He said before lowering the collar of his shirt and revealed an actual collar. It was made of pure metal by the looks of it.

“This keeps me from being an unstoppable super soldier that would kill anything it is ordered to kill.” He said before covering the collar. I thought about it for a minute and looked at it.

“So you have been trained to kill everything, sounds like something was placed in your head or in your mind, if you want I can help with that.” I told him.

“No, it's not like that. I was raised by the terrorist group after being kidnapped from somewhere in United Kingdom. As I grew as a child, they've taught me the ways of stealth killing and terrorism.” He said as he stared at the ring in his finger.

“I was a prodigy and at the time, I enjoyed their praise for my work. A child of eight years killing a prime minister, it was something.” He said. I gave him a low whistle at that. I thought about it and remember something back in the forest.

“Back in the forest you started yelling at yourself, what's that about?” I asked him.

“The collar malfunctioned for a few seconds, which led to me trying to whip you.” He said to me.

“In which I punched you in the face.” I pointed out. He looked at me with a glare and I smiled at him.

“You're almost as worse than Wade.” He said with a groan.

“Wade, Wade, I heard that name before… Where have I heard?” I said out loud.

“Wade Wilson, that was his full name until he ditched it, saying that it doesn't sound badass enough.” Ben said to me. I thought about it for a minute then I remembered how he was.

“Ohh, Wade! You mean Deadpool, the merc with the mouth." I said with a smile.

“That's the one.” He said. He then looked at me for a minute. “When are we going to get to this place?”

“Oh we were already there, we passed it about three times when we are talking.” I told him. Sure enough we were standing in front of a garage looking shop with a sign hanging in front. It had a rainbow lightning bolt and a gear over it. Under it was the name, ‘Rainbooms Hex-Tec Shop’. Ben glared at me.

“You'll need to try harder.” he said to me. I just smiled and walked into the place. I was greeted with Rainbow sitting at the counter bored out of her mind until she saw us.

“There you two are I been sitting here for half-hour, what did you two do ran a marathon?” she asked angrily.

“Oh we were going down the joys of life, it looks nice this time of the year,” I said to her with a smile. I heard a groan from behind me.

“Why are you doing this?” Ben asked.

“Because I'm a giant ass hole,” I said with the biggest smile I made.

"You're almost worse as Pinkie, just hand me the teleporter and let me see what I can do.” Rainbow asked as she puts out her hand. Ben pulls out the small device and hands it to her. She looked at it with a shocked expression.

“What did you do to it, got mad and threw it at a boulder?” Ben slowly turned to me as I nonchalantly whistle.

“Something like that.” He said. I could feel the hate coming towards me.

“Alright, let's see what makes you tick little one.” Rainbow said to the device as she pulls some goggles and put them on. She looks at it and turned a knob on the side. “Well look at you, aren't you interesting.”

“What is?” I asked her.

“Well first of all this isn’t hex-tec that is for sure it’s more of the baseline for it, man I haven’t seen anything like this. Ohh, I wish I could take you apart and see what you can do.” She said with a smile.

“Please don’t.” Ben said with a frowned. Rainbow waved a hand dismissalie at him.

“Sorry sorry old habits die hard, it just when I see something like this I just want to take it apart and figure out how it works and…” She stops as she got closer to the device and frowned. “That’s odd.”

“What do you mean odd?” Ben asked as he got closer.

“Well you see-AHH!” She screamed as she looked up. She moved the goggles to the top of her head and sighed. “Sorry these things are strong and can see through anything, anyway I found something that I didn’t know you can put in there.”

“What is it?” I asked her. She pulled a cord out of something and plugged it in the goggles and she started typing on something, a keyboard I guess and saw a blue orb began to glow.

“It looked like this,” she said as a hologram appeared. I burst out laughing as Ben groans.

“Do I even want to ask?” She asked.

“No, can you fix it?” Ben asked her. She looked at the device.

“Well the outer frame is busted but some of the insides are still intact and the some that aren’t I can find in the shop so give me… a few hours and it will be up and running at a hundred and ten percent.” She said with a smile as she leans in on the counter. “Now for the payment, are you still wearing the suit that has those whips?”

Ben nodded and took both gloves off before reaching over his back and taking the gauntlets. He placed them in front of Rainbow.

“Go nuts, they're not mine and the owner isn't...amongst the living.” Ben said with a smirk. I raised a brow at him as he looked at me.

“I had nothing to do with it.” He said with his hands up. He then snapped his gaze towards Rainbow.

“Before I forget, you'll need this to actually power the gauntlets.” He said before taking hold of the glowing device in his chest and pulled it out. He winced as he was doing so before a snap was heard. He placed the circular device on the table besides the two gauntlets.

I took a quick glance at the wires and saw that a few wires were coated in blood. I looked at him and again raised a brow.
“It wouldn't work otherwise.” Was all he said. I looked at Rainbow as she took the glowing device very carefully and looked at it wide eyed.

“Ohh~" was all she said as she then started giggling like mad. I looked at her for a moment.

“Uhh, you going to be okay?” I asked her.

“FEW HOURS AND IT WILL BE DONE NOW LEAVE!!” She yelled as she went into the back room. I blinked at this and looked at Ben.

“Be glad that wasn't Iron Man's Pulse cannon.” He said, taking out another yet familiar circular device.

“Made this with some spare parts.” He said. I rolled my eyes at him.

“If it was a Pulse cannon then you would be stuck here for days.” I said to him. He stared at me as I pointed towards the back room. “I seen that expression before, you just made her week with that core thing.”

“It's the least I could do.” Ben said with a sigh.

“So we have a few hours to spend, what do you want to do?” I asked him.

“I'm here because of my contract, which is now terminated due to the target being an imposter of the real Taliyah. I just want my things fixed so I can leave, I still need money so I can't stop.” He said. I eyed him for a minute.

“How much did he pay?” I asked him.

“Do you know how much is a googol?” he asked. I gave him another low whistle.

“That’s a lot of zeros, what if I payed you double to not go kill Taliyah and go off and have a vacation?” I told him. He looked at me with an odd look.

“You sure? The contract is already terminated and what you are offering me is a lot. Though I can finally pay that guy for the operation.” He said, muttering the last part. I looked around to make sure no one is around.

“Well where I see it you just got the wrong target and the real one is still out there so technically your contract is still going, I’m paying you to forget it and go have some time off.” I told him with a smile. “I have done assassination jobs before, I know how they work.”

“Forget what.” He said with a smirk. I smiled and I waved mine as a green gem the size of my fist appeared. I took it and handed it to him.

“There you go,” I said to him. He looked at it and at me with a raised eyebrow. “Transport gem, it will open a portal to a plane that has your money in it, oh and…” I waved my hand as a blue gem appeared. “This will turn the gems and diamonds into dollar bills or what not.”

“Looks like I'll be coming home sooner than I thought.” He said with a smile. Looking at him, I could see a lone tear.

“Happy to be heading back to your world early for a change,” I said to him.

“It means I can go back to my family, my wife, and son.” He said before wiping the tear away. I thought about it with a smile as a thought came to mind.

“That reminds me, I need to get her something from here,” I said.

Ben gave me a questioning look as he put away the gem in a bag strapped to his back. I put my hand on my chin, a sweater? No that's stupid, a picture? Naa I can make gems with images in them, those were cool. A hat?... Put your hat as a maybe, a toy? Also a maybe. I looked over to Ben as he was still staring at me.

“What?” I asked him.

“You spaced out ten minutes ago.” He said.

“Really, huh… so what do you want to do now?” I asked him with a smile.

“I'm up for anything as long as Hulk isn't involved, I still a few chunks rebar.” He said as he placed a hand on his hip.

“Right… well, I have no idea what to do, never been here and even though it looks the same I have no clue what to do here.” I told him.

“We could just wander around, I've only been here a day but never got any sight seeing done.” He answered with a shrug. All of a sudden his left wrist shone, looking down I saw that he wore a strange bracelet. He raised his wrist up and squinted his eyes as if reading something. He then shook his head before lowering his wrist after pressing a small button on it. I looked at him.

“Someone was trying to contact me for a job, which I'm now retired from. I have the money and soon I'll be back home.” He said with a small smile.

“So what are you going to do?” I asked him.

“What do you mean?” He asked.

“Going to take the job as the last job or retire and move on?” I asked him.

“I'm done, with the money you gave me I'll be able to cure my mental instability and actually be myself, a man living with his wife and raising his son.” He answered.

“Well! You know what that means,” I said to him. He looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

“No, I don't and I have a feeling that I'm not going to like.” He said. I gave him a smile.

“Drinks! Let's go! This is a celebration and I’m not taking no for an answer.” I said as I grabbed him and dragged out of the shop to look for a pub or something.


It took ten minutes but we found a place to drink, ‘The Fat Man Cask’ I chuckled at the name.

It took a bit of convincing but I finally got Ben to drink and celebrate. Though he is drinking lightly which makes me wonder. Supposedly the place was owned by a very big stallion who’s out at the moment, which explains why the doors of the place were big enough to let someone who’s ten feet tall in.

“So, out of everyone in the Avengers that you would fight fairly who would it be?” I asked him.

“Define fairly,” Ben said, taking another sip of his drink.

“One on One, no handicaps just the two of you fighting it out,” I explained as I drank a bit of my drink. “Unless you want to fight more than one.”

“I've fought Deadpool, became friends with him afterward. Wolverine, he and I fought with no strings attached.” He answered before taking another sip.

“This one time, after killing the president of the United States I had to fight Iron Man, War Machine, and Captain America, that was after I signed up for the Weapon X program.” He continued before placing a hand on his forehead in thought.

“I've also fought an Ex-girlfriend of mine, you know the normal break up stuff. I could go on, I've fought a lot of people back at Earth.” Ben said. I nodded and drank a little more. “What about you?”

“Oh me? Ha! I never get into any real fights that have no strings attached, sometimes. I’m usually fighting a guy who can summon some monsters to help which didn’t go well for him, I think the few I did fight are memory well some of them.” I drank the rest of my drink and asked for a refill.

“There was Solar, my world's king of Equestria, now that was a fun fight it went on for about three days straight until we both fell to exhaustion, then there was Ajax but it was more who was the hunter and who was the hunted, that was something and there was the one time with Twilight’s brother but I don’t think that counts,” I told him.

“A fight with another version of my brother in law doesn't count? I have to hear this.” Ben said with a chuckle. I shrugged.

“I don’t know about your version of Shining but the first time I fought him the fight didn’t last ten seconds for the fact that I kicked him into the wall and knocked him out, he got better at fighting but won’t have a rematch with me,” I grumbled the last part. “Other than that I have been fighting monsters.”

Ben laughed a little after hearing about my fight with Shining Armor. I rolled my eyes at him, he looked at me with an odd look.

“You didn’t look surprised about the fact that Shining is my brother in law,” he said. I again shrugged.

“I met a few displaced and others that were married to Twilight, hell the Twilight from my world met a few of them to the point that she doesn’t even blink in surprise anymore,” I told him.

“I know what you mean.” He said with a shrug. “Though the way we got engaged wasn't supposed to be thing at all, we were supposed to be in a meeting with leaders across the country and I was her guard at the time. Some fucker set up a weird trap under Twilight's chair and I knelt down to disarm before taking it away but a few of delegates saw it as something else.” Ben explained a little.

“They thought you were proposing to her then,” I said. He nodded at that as he took a sip from his drink.

“Yeah and since I didn't want to cause a panic on an attempt of assassination, so I rolled with it.” He said after taking the last sip.

“Do you regret it?” I asked him. We sat in silence for a bit before he spoke.

“If you were to ask me that a few years ago, I would've said yes but as time went on, I've actually grown to love her and after the first annual anniversary party I awoke the next day with a headache, naked and next to Twilight.” He said, earning a weird look from me before he clarified.

“I've slept with women before but always drunk, the headache was from a pegasus named Flash Sentry hitting me in the head with a bottle while yelling that I'm not good enough for Twilight and shit like that.” He explained.

“Right, alright then.” I drank a bit more and out of the corner of my eye I saw him staring at me. “What?”

“What about you, you have someone you care for?” He asked me.

“I have a kid, so her,” I told him.

“What's the kids name?” Ben asked. I looked at my drink for a minute and drank the rest.

“Stella, that’s her name.” I told him as I pulled out my necklace, it had a dog tag, a blue gem stone, and a stone with some markings on it. I fidget with the stone remembering her giving it to me with a smile.

“She must be a sweet little one,” Ben said. I chuckled at him.

“Yeah, although I never thought of having a daughter until a friend of mine asked me for a favor.” I told him. He eyed me for a minute.

“Uhhh.” He said, confused. I rolled my eyes at him.

“Stella is not from my world, when I went to help out a friend to find some energy cells he asked me to take an egg and take it into my world to see if it acted the same as his world or there would be changes. At first it was a research project but it slowly turn of me having Stella as a daughter, I don’t know if that was his plan all along or what but oh well.” I told him as I dropped a bag of bits on the counter.

“Alright, though I'm sure it was planned, it seemed like it.” He said. I chuckled and stood up.

“Yeah probably but I’m not regretting it, anyway I think we should head back to the shop for your transporter.” I told him. We headed out of the of the bar and headed back to RD’s shop. When we got there we saw her walking out of the back room and saw us.

“Hey, good timing I just finished up working on your stuff, two of them are right over there.” she nodded at the end of the counter where Ben's gauntlets sat. “They do the same as before but now they can do an EMP blast to knock out any electronics or stun anyone for a minute.”

“About that, I don't think I'm going to need them anymore.” Ben said. Rainbow blinked at him and stared at him.

“You sure? Alright then so now for your transporter,” she went and pulled out a device which looked like a tablet that can fold in half. “I couldn't make it exactly like the old one but I made it with a new bud that makes it much easier to read, the only downside is that it will overheat and needs about a day to cool.” Dash went to show Ben how it all works but I didn't really pay any attention to it since I had no idea what she was talking about.

“And that's it, any questions?” She asked.

“No.” Ben said. Dash nodded at him.

“Alright then well I need to get back to work, I’ll see you all around.” She said and walked into the back. We stepped outside of the shop and Ben started tapping on the screen.

“So you’re heading out? If so good luck on your travels and I hope your vacation is a good one.” I said to him as we shook hands.

“Spasibo za vse, moy drug. (Thank you for everything, my friend.)” He said in a different language. I nodded to him and saw him press something and a portal opened. He walked through it and the portal closed. I sighed and began heading down the street towards Twilight’s home.

Along the way I stopped at a toy shop and picked up a clockwork toy of a turtle for Stella, I did promise her after all. After paying for it and putting it in my pocket I continued on. It took a bit but I got to the treehouse and went inside. I saw that Rose was sitting on a couch reading something as I got in. She looked at me with a smile.

“So I’m guessing he went off then?” She asked me.

“Yup he’s back in his world and enjoying his life.” I told her as I dropped my illusion. I sighed as she stepped up beside me.

“I guess you have to leave as well huh.” She said in a sad tone. I patted her head for a moment.

“Looks like it but hey, today was interesting to say at least.” I said to her. I gave her a hug for a minute. After that the golden portal opened and waited for me.

“See you around Rose, and don’t get into anymore trouble!” I told her. She laughed at that.

“You know that’s going to be a problem.” She replied.

“I know.” I said as I walked through the portal and coming out back home. I saw that my bag was still there on the ground. I picked it up and dust it off and headed back home.


Ben


It has been several hours after leaving and getting cured. Now I walk through a familiar town towards a Crystal palace. In my hand I held a crystal sphere that contained the source of my instability, Hydra's side of me.

As I got closer and closer to the palace, I've began to think. I had been gone for almost three years, chances are that she had found someone else. If she has, I wouldn't hold against her as long as I get to see Ken, my little boy.

I've done many things, some fun, others bad and even a few that were stupid in the first place but hey, we all make mistakes and now, I'm here to stay.

I opened the large doors in front of me with a mighty push and I was greeted with a few guards with shocked expressions before one guard got on one knee, letting the others follow suit. I walked through the halls of my home, seeing that Twilight had finally gotten some maids to clean instead of Spike.

I stopped as I saw a slightly opened door. I heard someone talking and it was the voice of a young boy.

“Mom, can you finish the story about dad?” I knew that voice and I couldn't help but smile a little as tears started welling up.

“Sweety, I've told you that story ten times already.” That was her, Twilight.

“Yeah and it's awesome each time.” I heard Ken tell his mother. I slowly opened the door before silently making my way inside.

“Honestly, you're just as energetic as your fath-” Twilight before stopped before finishing her sentence and stared at me with wide eyes from her seat. I stood behind Ken as he tilted his head in confusion before looking back and seeing me. Twilight stood up from her desk and slowly walked towards me while Ken started tearing. Smiling I wiped his tears away with my empty hand.

“Ken, are you going to say any-”

“DAD!” And with that I was tackled to the ground by the pony eared human. Ken was half human and half alicorn, he had the ears of a pony and a tail of one too but as for his Alicorn traits, he doesn't have a pair of wings nor a horn because of his human gene but he can still manage to use magic by hand and not by horn. His only a boy of eight, so his strength hasn't developed yet.

He wore a striped red and blue shirt with a pair of shorts.

I began brushing his hair through my fingers as my shirt started getting wet and not seconds later, I felt myself being pulled up and on instinct, I took hold of Ken.

I then saw that it was Twilight using magic to pull me up and as I set my gaze onto her beautiful face, I could see tears.

“Honey, I'm home.” I said before dropping the crystal on the floor. I then placed a hand on her cheek before bringing her in for a kiss. After a solid two minutes I pulled away from the kiss.

“And I'm staying home.” I said before raising my foot then stomping on the crystal, shattering it with my boot.

“Uggg… What?” I said groggy. An hour ago I just returned from fighting… I think demonic vampires and after the day I had I was spent. Stella was standing in front of me in her pjs with a book in hand.

“I said that you promise to read me a story tonight but since you are tired…” She started saying. I blinked at her and rubbed my face, right I did promise that.

“Yes I did promise you a story,” I said as I shifted a bit.

“If you don't want to I understand-" I stopped her with a look.

“Stella, I promise that I would and what kind of dad I would be if I didn't keep my promises.” I told her. Her face brighten as she hands me the book and climbed on to the couch. I took the book to see what it is. It was the Mage and the Dragon Princess.

“Didn't I read you this book like a thousand times already?” I asked her.

“Yeah but I want to hear it again, it's awesome!” she said. I chuckled and opened the book as she got closer to see it.

“Once upon a time, there was a kingdom in a far away land…”


I woke up from my sleep to see that I fell asleep on the couch, I also saw that Stella was not with me. She either went to bed after I went to sleep or something. I got up and went to get myself a cup of coffee. As I was making the coffee I heard something like a voice but I was too sleepy to hear or care, I didn’t even see the portal that opened behind me. I turned and walked a few feet while drinking my coffee. I woke up a bit and looked up to see that… I was in a forest.

I looked around and blinked as my eyes looked down to see two figures in front of me. One was an anthro Sweetie Belle and some blonde lady wearing armor.

I blinked again and lower my cup.

“Umm...did I miss something?”
