“What are you doing Vadik?” He asked himself as he stood facing a large mirror with his hands either side of it. “You slipped up, don't get comfortable around these people, they aren't friends, they are just a source of pay” Vadik said to his reflection but he didn't believe him self so he growled and repeated only to gain the same result that he had received for the last five minutes. “Fuck sake” He said slamming his fist into the mirror, shattering it as a knock was heard from his bedroom door.

       “Vaddie?” Pinkie Pie’s voice asked. “Are you okay? I… I just wanted to apologize for r-ruining your first ever party” She sniffled causing Vadik to sigh.

         “You… you didn't ruin it Pinkie, I did with my own stupidity, next time I'll try to be a better participant” Vadik said as he walked over and opened the door to discover Pinkie standing there but her hair was darker and unusually straight.

          “You promise?” She asked as Vadik nodded” Pinkie promise” She said as he lifted his hand before she shook her head. “No, like this” She said taking his hand and moving it to his chest over his heart. “Cross my heart” She said using his finger to draw an X over his heart.

       “Cross my heart” He repeated as she took his other hand before stopping to see it bleeding with a chunk of mirror sticking out of it before she flapped his arms.

       “And hope to fly” She said which he repeated before she balled up his unfounded hand and moved it over his eye. “Stick a cupcake in my eye” She said.

         “Stick a cupcake in my eye” He repeated moments before she hugged him and he returned the hug before her mane and tail puffed up again. “I'll be down, i… I just need to bandage my hand and get changes” He said before she nodded and left him alone. He smiled softly before closing the door and removing his armour and weapons before he walked over to a pile of new cloths which had a letter on top. “To Vadik, From Rarity” He read out loud before grabbing a top and a pair of jeans and got changed after he cleaned, Stitched and bandaged his hand.

       Once complete he heard another knock at his door “Come in Pinkie, I am dressed” He called out before he heard the door open and someone enter.

        “It's Luna, We... i heard what happened before you entered my room and also Pinkie said you were injured so I just came to check on you” She said as she looked at the man and then at the broken mirror. “Is everything okay?” She asked him.

        “Yea, I'm just getting too comfortable around you lot” Vadik said turning to see the Alicorn in the long, slightly revealing dress. “How did you get it to sparkle like stars?” he asked as she smiled.

         “Tis… it's my secret” She smirked as Vadik chuckled softly and walked towards the door but she grabbed him by the wrist. “I… I just wanted to thank you again for everything that you have done already, i have grabbed the materials from your bag and you got more than enough thank you” She said as he shrugged.

         “It's what I do” He said before she nodded and walked with him to the stairs down. “So what's gonna happen to Nightmare when she is separated?” Vadik asked.

           “I was hoping she could stay with you for a short while so she is safe b…” Luna was about to say something before Vadik interrupted her.

             “ Sure” He said as he walked down the stairs and over to an empty couch to sit. Once he was seated, he discovered a muffin in front of him being held by the grey Pegasus mare.

             “Hi, um here… I thought it would help” She said nervously which caused Vadik to smile softly and accept the gift before patting the empty space next to him which the mare quickly took.

               “You didn't have to but thank you Ditzy” He said smiling as she nodded before he pulled the muffin in half and handed her half.

                 “Thank you and you can call me Derpy… Everypony else does” She said.

                  “Why do they?” Vadik asked the mare as she sighed.

                  “I'm really clumsy… or it might be because my eye or something else” She sighed and lent back into the couch.  

                   “Your Eye?” He asked as she pointed to her crooked eye. “Oh I didn't even notice and if it is because of that then they are quite mean” He said as Derpy simply shrugged. “Well let's change the subject, tell me about yourself” He asked with a soft smile.

                    “Well um, my name is Ditzy Doo, i work as a Mailmare, i was born and raised in Cloudsdale until I had my Daughter who is a 17 year old Unicorn Filly” She said before noticing Vadik with an eye cocked. “What?” she asked.

             “How old are you?” Vadik asked the mare causing her to blush.

              “Thirty four” She said quietly.

               “Really, you look like you are in your early twenties” he said causing the mare to blush more just Vadik smiled at her before he rose to his feet.

                “W-where are you going?” She asked him.

                “Just need some fresh air” He smiled as he made his way to the front door and exited. Once outside, he walked over to the cave entrance and leant against the opening and sighed “What are you doing you twit?” he asked himself before shaking his head before he arguing coming from behind him so he turned to see Rainbow arguing with a white Pegasus stallion, who was occupied by a few other Pegasus stallions “What's this?” Vadik asked himself as he slowly approached.

        “Come on Dashie it'll be fun and just like old times” The white stallion said to her but she shook her head.

        “No Soarin, i-I'm not touching that crap again and I want nothing to do with you” She said before taking a step back and feeling the cave wall against her back.

          “Oh but Dashie, i want everything to do with you and so do my friends” He said as the other stallion chuckled “and besides, you were so much more… Loyal on this stuff” He said chuckling. “And I promise not to get you pregnant this time” He said taking a step towards her.

        “You are a Bastard” She said as he wings flared only for two of the stallions to grab her and force her against the wall.

         “Why do you still care about that filly? It's been four years since that mistake was righted” He chuckled and grabbed her by the chin before producing a small bottle from his jacket but as he unscrewed it he suddenly shivered. “When did it get so cold?” He asked as Dash’s eyes locked on the man behind Soarin.

         “Give me a good reason” Vadik said as he dropped two unconscious and bleeding Stallion among several others.

         “I… we… it's just a prank… yea all for a good laugh” Soarin nervously laughed as the other two stallions did the same and released Rainbow Dash and stepped away from her but what caused them to stop was when Vadik was began laughing.

      “Oh good one, Hey I got one. Have you ever heard of The Bird and the Worm?” He asked them as all four shook their heads. “Oh well this is the Bird” Vadik said raising his fist.

      “But what is the Worm?” Soarin asked curious.

       “Oh this” Vadik said, slamming his fist into Soarin’s groin with all his strength, resulting in two quite pops. “Who wants to hear the joke next?” Vadik asked as the other two Stallions quickly got out of there while Soarin collapsed to his knees holding his bleeding groin while squeaking. “Now then Boy” Vadik said grabbing the Stallion by the mane and forced him to his feet just as the man's expression turned from a smirk to a look capable of terrifying the fiercest predator. “Fuck with Blue again and well, you will beg for this pain you feel right now” He said before dropping the stallion on the ground before turning to Dash and offered his hand, which she took. As they approached the front door, Dash pulled on Vadik’s hand gaining his attention. “Yea?” he asked her moments before she wrapped her arms around his neck and began crying her eyes out into his shoulder just as several ponies exited the house to see Dash crying her eyes out, several unconscious stallions and Soarin muttering about testicles.

         “What the Hay is goin’ on out ‘ere?” AppleJack asked as Vadik looked at her then back at Dash.

          “Long or short?” He asked.

           “Short darling” Rarity said as Vadik took a deep breath.

           “Soarin tried to drug and most likely attempt to gang fuck her, i rocked up, kicked the shit out of most of them, Soarin said it was all a prank so I showed him the joke about the Bird and the Worm” Vadik said with a shrug.

               “Bird and the Worm?” Celestia asked just as Vadik raised his unbandaged bloodied hand and then pointed at Soarin before it clicked. “Oh” She said as several stallions in the small crowd instinctively covered their groins.

(Unknown Location)

         “How could we be so weak?” Star asked as he tapped his fingers against each other as he sat upon a makeshift throne. “We lost both Trixie,  the Dragon Lord and Nightmare Moon” He sighed as he turned his gaze to see Solaris with a magic inhibiting collar while training physically. “What are you doing?” Star asked the Alicorn.

        “Getting stronger so I can kill that human” Solaris growled as star shook his head  and turned his gaze to see Nightmare simply floating around the room from Shadow to shadow.

           “What are you doing?” Star asked.

            “He is coming” Nightmare said, gaining the attention of the ponies, Changeling and Centur.

              “Who is coming?” Tirak asked as he downed a large mug of ale.

              “Oh I don't need any introductions” a Echoed voice stated with a chuckle moments before Star found himself on the floor and a hooded being sitting on his throne.

              “What do you think you are bucking doing? Do you know who I am?” Star asked as the hooded figure chuckled.

              “Yes… yes I do, you are the being whom stole some of my energy” He said as several echoes of his voice screamed ‘Stole’. “Do you know who I am?” The hooded figure asked.

                “So stupid colt trying to play with those more powerful than himself” Star growled as he glanced at his allies only to discover everyone in the room save for Nightmare, surrounded in a black aura and lifted off the ground.

                 “I said do you know who I am? Not do you know who you are” He chuckled as he twirled his fingers causing the People in his magic to slowly spin and rotate in the air.

                  “No i don't, now let me down flank hole” Star growled before he was roughly slammed into the ground.

                    “There you go” the hooded figure laughed as he let the others continue to spin.

                      “Bastard, What do you want then?” Star asked as he looked up to see the figure in front of him before he felt the man grab him roughly by the back of his head and lift him to his feet.

                           “A new minion” He said with a chuckle before running his gloved finger down the stallion’s cheek.

                            “And who the Buck are you?” Star asked.  

                          “Oh, my name is too long and complicated for your pathetic little head to comprehend so call me Mr L” He said before dropping the stallion and returned to the throne. “And it's time to get this party truly started” He laughed sadistically.
