I opened my eyes and continued to listen to the sound of crying echoing through the castle. The noise was distant but loud enough to be heard and I could see Nightmare was out cold, not being bothered by the screams. I recognized the screaming was of Midnight, Flurry and Loki so I got up, rubbed the sleep from my eyes and went to investigate. I walked down the almost empty corridors following the sound of crying foals till I arrived at a spiral staircase I followed the screams and saw a doorway that framed two identical doors. I then opened one door and the screaming intensified before I saw the beauty of the room.

The room was average sized and circular with pillars that looked like trees formed a smaller circle within the room. The room was also painted with metallic gold and navy blue paint and was filled with toys. At the back of the room was a stained glass window with the symbol of the Demonic Angels and in the centre of the room was a large wooden crib. Above the crib was a mobile with blue crystal wolves and crystal silver like ravens on it and finally, next to the crib, was a stool and a baby monitor on it along with a box. I then looked into the crib and saw all three babies were crying their eyes out till finally they all looked at me and stopped crying.

I was confused as to why the foals stopped crying when they saw me and this caused me to tilt my head to the side and the foals did the same thing only they did it cuter then I did. I then moved my head down and closer to the foals unsure of what to do now but as my face hovered over Midnight he sneezed on me, forcing me to recoil and wipe off what he sneezed on me. When I looked back at Midnight with a raised eyebrow he just stared at me before he started laughing and reached out for me with his tiny arms indicating him wanting me to pick him up. I then looked around the room before I looked at the door and saw no one about before I looked back at the crib where Midnight was still waiting for me to pick him up.

I then reached into the crib and picked the foal up with both my hands but held him at a comfortable distance to examine him all the while he was releasing a cooing sound. I then turned him around and examined the wings on his back when suddenly I heard a strange noise coming from Midnight so I spun him around and saw he was blowing bubbles with his saliva. I then popped the bubble and held the baby close to look at him. All the while he ran his fingers over my face till he drove a hand in one of my nostrils causing me to snort in discomfort while Midnight giggled. Then the little foal grabbed one of my fingers and then placed his palm against mine I look at the foal in wonder before I placed him in my arms and began to rock him gently back and fourth till he let out a yawn.

I placed Midnight back in his crib and the other foals seemed to just stare at what just happened. I then opened the box and a strange song played from it.

As I listened to the song I rocked the crib gently till the foals were asleep once more before I left for my room but, unbeknownst to me, a figure watched me leave the foals room.

I was walking down to the dining room and walked inside where I saw everyone besides Rage was there eating breakfast. So I sat down in a random chair and tied to listen in on as many conversations as I could till someone got my attention.

"Where were you last night Bones?"

"Hm?" I asked as I looked at the group of ponies that were looking at me.

"Where were you last night Bones?" Cadence asked.

"Around," I said.

"Around where?" Chrysalis asked.

"The castle." I answered.

"Where exactly in the castle?" Luna asked.

"Alright what the hell is going on?" I asked.

"I saw you leave the foals room last night when I went to go check on them and make sure their baby monitor was on," Cadence said.

"Well you could of gotten there sooner those foals were screaming for half an hour before I decided to show up," I said.

"That wasn't for you to take care of Bones," Celestia said with a snarl.

"Oh here we go," I said as I leaned back in my chair.

"What?" Celestia asked.

"You've been on my case since the moment you found out I was a wraith. Not the moment I saved your fat ass from Diann and his sons Celestia," I said causing a few to gasp at my insult.

"And I have a right to be considering what you are," Celestia said as she stood up from her chair.

"Didn't I explain it that most wraiths don't do what you claim?" I asked in an angered tone as I stood up.

"And how exactly can I trust a word you say?" Celestia asked.

"Maybe if you start using your head along with your eyes and ears you lazy mare and sorry excuse for a princess," I growled.

Celestia then picked me up in her magic and tossed me out the massive window. I then bounced of a tower's roof but then I felt a pair of arms wrap around me. I was placed into the massive garden and when I looked I saw Nightmare.

"Thanks but you do know I would of survived that," I said.

"I know but why did you have to say all that? Celestia is patient but even she has her limits," Nightmare said.

"Well she doesn't need to be in my face about every single damn thing I do and where I go," I said before I walked off into the garden on my own.

The garden was huge and easy to get lost in but thankfully there were signs about. The garden was full of plant life and there were even a few Flutterponies flying about tending to the plants. I heard talking so I followed the sound and saw Amalthea, Slendermane and Rage were talking beside a small circular pool of water with water pouring into the pool from a decorated wall.

"Appears we have company," Slender said making my presence known to the three.

"Sorry it wasn't my intention to interrupt. I just needed some time to cool off before I went to train the mane 6," I said.

"I take it Celestia tossed you out a window huh?" Rage asked.

"Sounds of breaking glass?" I asked.

"Sounds of breaking glass," Rage confirmed.

"*sigh* Sorry, I'll help repair it once I have time to chill," I said.

"It appears to me you need more than that, as in you need to hit someone," Rage said.

"That I do. Any suggestions?" I asked.

"Well I was planning on something but-," Rage started.

"But?" I asked

"Unfortunately we can't get to this place because I don't know how to get there and the devise to get there is missing," Rage said.

"Devise?" I asked.

"A two barreled pistol," Rage said causing me to remember the wrecked item in Ash's tomb.

"Is this it?" I asked as I summoned the gun and held it out to him.

"Where did you find it?" Rage asked as he saw the gun and took it.

"It was just lying in Ash's tomb and in pieces," I said.

"Damn it then there's no way to get over there now?" Rage said with a sigh.

"If I may be so bold to ask but why do you need to get to this place and where is it?" I asked.

"*sigh* This place is an alternate dimension to our Equestria. There are two people who live there that have dealt with the caribou before and are very good friends of ours. When they first encountered the caribou they got blasted here and met up with Ash and me. We were then able to send them home and we joined them on a trip to their world to put an end to the caribou's reign. Now I was planning on visiting them in hopes of them coming to help us," Rage said.

"So basically were asking for reinforcements?" I asked.

"Yep," Rage said.

"And these two people, how strong are they?" I asked.

"Their basically gods," Rage said causing me to look at Rage with a raised eyebrow.

"Well as long as they leave the royal caribou to me we'll get along just fine," I said.

"Weren't you listening, the gun's busted," Rage said.

"That may be but," I said before I took the gun from Rage and looked it over. "I think I can make a portal to where this thing is transmitting to. Granted I don't know where it will drop us but I do know it will be in their dimension and on their world."

"You can do that?" Rage asked.

"Long story short wraiths are needed to jump between dimensions and I'm no different when it comes to hunting down Rouge Wraiths," I said before I scanned the gun and took out a piece of magic. I began to figure out where it was coming from before I tossed it into the pool.

Suddenly the fountain of water stopped and the water in the pool began to swirl around becoming a whirlpool and glow light blue.

"There's our portal," I said.

"Nicely done Bones now let's go. I'm eager to see what happened since we left," Rage said before he jumped into the portal. I summoned my sword and also jumped into the pool.

---

I hit the dirt hard and looked around. All I saw was a barren wasteland of dirt and death. The air was thick and heavy with what felt like poison and I noticed the night sky was above us. While I looked around I saw Rage with his back to me and he was looking around.

"Can't believe those nukes did this," Rage said.

"Sorry?" I asked.

"I got a letter from one of my friends explaining what had happened here after we left. But this...This is more then what I was expecting," Rage said.

I stood in silence watching the scenery before Rage began to walk towards a massive mountain and I followed. As we got closer I saw what appeared to be the ruins of Canterlot Castle sitting upon its rocky perch. Not too far away from it was a massive metal craft sticking out of the ground with white writing on its side. Before I could make out the words I saw something flying at supersonic speeds away from the ruined mountain.

"Elisa," Rage muttered.

"I take it that's your friend?" I asked.

"Yep," Rage said.

"Any idea where she's going?" I asked.

"No but let's follow," Rage said before he got behind me and wrapped his arms around my chest.

"Hey what are you doing?" I asked as I forced myself out of the weird hug.

"Going to give you a lift we're gonna need to fly to catch up to her," Rage said.

"I can do that myself thanks," I said.

"Wait you can fly?" Rage asked.

I then extended my arms forward and curled my fingers to grab something before I made a pulling motion with my hands and arms. Suddenly the shadows around us reached out towards me and crawled up my back, creating a pair of black ghostly feathered wings.

"Whoa hang on how come you've never mentioned that or hell used those?" Rage asked.

"There was no need to. Besides it uses up a lot of magic and I only have as much as I have blood covering me. These wings cost me a hand and a forearm of blood," I said as I rolled up my right sleeve showing my decaying skeletal arm.

"Fair enough now let's boogie," Rage said before we took off.

We flew for awhile before we came to what appeared to be the remains of the Zebra Kingdom, if the two worlds are similar, and I looked to be surrounded be a shield. The place seemed to be in quite a state of an uproar recently judging from all the shouting and explosions that kept on trying to knock both Rage and me out of the air, forcing us to fly low to the ground. As we approached the shield, I saw a figure standing before it. It looked to be another human but appeared to be female. She had tan skin, white hair and black feathered wings on her back that faded into white as they went down. She wore tight black shorts, which stopped a little bit above her knees, a white tank top that hugged her torso well, a pair of black steel toe boots and a pair of brown leather cross-draw shoulder holsters. I could also sense a strange but familiar aura around her.

"Certainly a hard bastard to keep up with," Rage said as we landed on the ground behind the woman and I dispelled my wings. The woman then spun around and pointed one of her pistols at Rage before firing at us. But Rage moved his head to the side to dodge the shot and that's when I saw her eyes was red before her left eye became amber coloured. Also above her chest and below her neck was a baseball sized hole that went all the way through her. "The fuck girl that's certainty one way to greet an old friend!" Rage shouted causing the woman to holster her gun before she turns around and looks at the dome covered city.

"Don't do that Rage." the woman said before looking over her left shoulder at Rage with a hardened look. "Especially when I'm like this."

"Let me guess zebra took the ones you care about and now you're gonna go beat them to pulp?" Rage asked as he walked up to the woman and stood next to her.

"Yea...Soooo who's the rookie?" the woman said as she looked at Rage and that's when I remembered what her aura signifies as.

"Watch it Shinigami you're not the first of you're kind I've killed and I doubt you'll be the last one either," I said knowing who the woman was referring to.

"Watch it bub. I'm not really in the mood for this shit, so if you'll excuse me I have an appointment with the king to get to." the woman said as she started walking towards the dome and raised a hand. A blast of red energy launched from her hand and impacted the massive shield but sent her flying backwards and into the dirt. "Dammit that hurt!"

"Well that went well," I said as I rolled my eyes.

"Shut it! I thought that would go better," the woman said before she stood up

"No Bones is right you just can't expect them to let us just waltz on in do you. Not after what happened with Diann," Rage said.

"Well you got a better idea?" the woman asked

I then decided to use my Wraith Walk and disappeared into limbo. I walked past the barrier before I reappeared.

"Wait, how did you-?" Rage began.

"Wraith Walking didn't I tell you I can do that?" I asked

"Bones I don't know half the shit you're capable of," Rage said.

"Yeah well you two just sit tight and catch up while I go introduce myself and figure out what to do with this," I said as I lightly kicked the shield with my boot.

"I suggest we split up," the woman said as she pointed at me. "If you find any royalty, do not kill anyone. If you find the king notify me of his location because he's mine" she said but the last words were distorted, almost as if multiple voices were trying to speak at the same time but came out not in sync, also for a brief second I saw a dark energy emit from her being.

"Fine however if I do run into any royals and they get in my way and go for the killing blow, I can't promise if they will survive before you arrive," I said as I began to walk away.

"I don't really care who you kill, as long as they aren't females or innocents. Just don't kill the king. If you find him let us know." she yelled as I continued to walk away.

My walk into the capital was so far quiet. Houses were shut tight and the streets were abandoned leaving me to guess that the civilians were all scared off by the zebra's shooting at us. I then closed my eyes and scanned the city. As we approached the city I felt the shields magic frequency and was scanning the interior for a match. Now each person has a magic frequency that is entirely different, like a fingerprint. However, unlike the fingerprint, there are some things that can be added to the frequency like the women back there, Elisa I believe her name was called. She has magic of her own yet I can sense she has the powers of a Shinigami combined with that magic. Anyway I learned the shields magic frequency and was now scanning the interior of the shield for a smaller signal. Soon I found it right inside the castle but I guess that's to be expected, the zebra will be desperate to protect that and it's my guess that's where the ruler was, which I found cowardly.

I then walked deeper into the city being mindful to avoid any guards by using shadow jumping till I arrived in-front of the castle. I could see the place had heavy guns on top of stone towers and a pair of iron golems standing outside a heavy iron gate. With my current powers I'm left with only one option and that is to use stealth. So I went over to a wall out of sight from the golems and made a black tendril. I launched it onto the top of the wall before I was pulled up on top and once I was up I saw the courtyard was clear of any guards. I jumped into the courtyard and walked over to the massive doors and placed my hands on them. With one last look around I pushed the doors open and was met with a whole room filled with guards prepping their weapons.

"Oh crap," I muttered to myself.

"GET IT!" one of the guards yelled.

"Did you just call me an it?" I asked with a snarl.

The guards ran at me but I snapped my fingers causing the sound to massively echo around the room and made the guards halt in their tracks. At first there was only silence till finally a loud buzzing sound came from outside suddenly a massive swarm of locusts flew in and began to devour many of the guards of any fluids leaving them as dry papery husks and as for the ones that were screaming the bugs flew into their mouths. Each and every guard was dying before me, all except the one who called me an it. As he was distracted I walked up to him, grabbed him by his throat and lifted him into the air.

"For the record I'm not an 'it', I'm a wolf. You got that?" I asked saying the last words with a growl causing the zebra to nod fearfully. "Good now it's going to take me awhile to search the entire castle so can you tell me where I can find the source for the shield?"

"Fuck you do you have any idea what will happen if you shut down the shield?" the zebra asked causing me to slash at his leg tearing it open and causing him to scream.

"I know what will happen to you if you don't start giving me directions," I said.

"Ok, ok it's in the throne room. Go upstairs take a right then a left and another left at the first corridor. Go down the corridor till you see a set of massive doors, those doors are the doors to the throne room," the zebra said before I dropped him.

I was about to follow the directions when suddenly I heard the sound of running coming towards me. That's when I saw more guards charge in from both the entrance and other doors within the room, surrounding me. So I drew my Shadow Blade and selected a song before I got a ball of fire ready in my left hand.

The first guard charged at me but I stabbed him in the chest and tossed him over me before I slashed at another's face and tossed the ball of fire at some guards, incinerating them. I was cutting down as many soldiers as I could along with using my magic. I slammed my hand into the ground and watched as several black tendrils shot out of the ground and impaled many guards before disappearing. Suddenly a guard ran me through the back of my shoulder but I spun around and slashed at the guard using my claws. The guards then rushed me all at once, covering me and forcing me to just kick and punch till finally I blew them all away with a blast of magic. I then saw my body was full of weapons, I was missing a lot of flesh and my clothing was badly ripped and destroyed on the top right, leaving nothing to hide my skeletal appearance on that side, but I still had enough to cover the left side of my body. I saw many of the guards get up so I had to rely on my sword. I then caught the wrist of a guard holding a sword and slammed my blade down upon him repeatedly before I grabbed another by the head and slammed him into the ground killing him. I also slashed at a guards legs making him fall to the ground before I drove the sword into his face. As I pulled the sword out of the body and sheathed it the song ended.

I then looked around at the damage and saw I did a number on the place. Broken architecture, burned banners and a lot of corpses each one in a different state. As I looked around I saw the zebra from before was looking at me in absolute horror but I just rolled my eyes and walked up the stairs. I followed the directions till I arrived at the massive doors that led to the throne room. I then pushed the door open a crack and saw the place was filled with several guards. I also saw a male zebra sitting on what I believed was the throne since this is a throne room and there was no other chairs. I also saw the male zebra was wearing a crown telling me this guy is the king he also had five strange rings on his hands that had a magic aura around them, three were on his right hand and two on the left and he appeared to be panicking.

"What have you done, why did you bring them here?!" the king yelled as he gestured to a wall on the left side of the room. Leaning against the wall I saw several strange metal tubes with a fogged window on them.

Finally, sitting next to the tubes was a grey furred Thestral mare with a purple mane and wearing a blue and yellow jumpsuit. Her hands were in cuffs and she appeared pretty beat up. I also saw a white furred alicorn. She had a crimson mane but she wasn't wearing any clothes and she appeared to be unconscious. Also in the room on the right was a large cauldron sitting over a pit of coals with a bubbling magenta liquid in it and with a quick scan I saw the cauldron was the source of the shields power. I then saw everyone was distracted with the pods so I slunk in and walked over to the cauldron. I placed a foot on the edge and pushed the cauldron over, spilling the contents. As soon as I did I saw the shield disappear and all eyes then turned to me.

"What the, who the hell are you?" the king demanded before I looked at them reveling the broken part of myself that was damaged by all the guards downstairs. This caused a few of the guards to stare at me in horror like I was something that crawled out of their worst nightmare.

One of the guards seemed to grow a backbone and charged at me with a sword in hand suddenly he ran his sword through my chest just below the crystal heart but I just took the blow without flinching. I glared at the zebra causing him to sweat bullets before I drove my fingers into his throat and ripped him apart in a shower of blood and gore. I glared at the remaining zebras causing all the guards to huddle in the corner in absolute terror along with the mare. The king also seemed just as terrified and whenever one of the group went for a weapon or tried to escape I gave a growl, telling them to stay put, which they understood clearly. Suddenly the doors that I used to enter opened and I saw both Elisa and Rage step in and Elisa looked pissed.

"Oh hey you two what took you so long?" I asked.

"Well we were waiting on you to take the dome down. Not to mention the large amounts of weapons stationed outside." Elisa said as she crossed her arms below her chest.

"*sigh* Whatever but anyway I kept my promise. I present you with the king and even a few spare guards I can't be bothered killing," I said in a tired tone that indicated I was not in the mood to argue.

"Let's not waste any time then." Elisa said as she walked past me while Rage walked up to me.

"So that's one of the friends you were talking about?" I asked.

"Yep that is Elisa the God of Death here and be careful, she has a short temper and hates being called short," Rage said.

"Well if she's a God of Death she ain't a very good one," I said.

"Hey what did I just say," Rage said slugging me in the shoulder.

"I'm being honest here if I could get in here while she couldn't she must not be very good," I said.

"Listen just try to get along okay you haven't exactly started out on the best foot with her," Rage said.

"In case you forgot Rage I'm a wraith, I'm not supposed to make friends with anyone," I said before Elisa slid across the floor towards us. When I looked I saw the king was sitting on the throne with a smug smile on his face.

"Dammit I lost my cool again." she whispered.

"Weren't you supposed to kill them?" I asked.

"I was trying to get some information out of them first." she said as she rolled on to her back and got on her feet.

"Uh huh and how is that working out because they don't look as scared as when I spooked them," I said.

"Okay I'm going to tell you this once," she said as she pointed a finger at me. She was about to continue but the asshole of a king butted in.

"Hey-" the king started but Elisa just turned around and pointed her finger at him.

"Shut the hell up!" Elisa yelled before turning back to me. "I don't know what fucking problem you have with me but stop. I can tell in the undertone of your voice that you’re annoyed by me."

"I'm not annoyed with you, I'm annoyed at how pathetic your power is. Compared to this guy, you're a joke," I said as I pointed at the king.

"You dare-," the king interrupted.

"Butt out ass wipe, can't you see were arguing?" I said as I gestured to Elisa and myself.

"Well I'm not using most of my power because I don't want everyone to think I'm op." she yelled.

"And what the hell is wrong with that from the stories I've been told, this Ash guy went op when his family's life was in danger. So instead of holding back shouldn't you be doing everything in your power to make sure they live you idiot!?" I yelled getting into Elisa's face.

"I'm not talking about everyone here," she gestured to everyone in the room. "I'm talking about everyone out there." she said as she pointed in a random direction.

I looked at where Elisa was pointing but saw nothing out of the ordinary.

"Ok now I know you're pathetic and crazy," I said.

"ENOUGH!" the king yelled causing the attention in the room to be drawn to him. "I've had enough of the foolishness and am tired of your babbling. I had plans to deal with the bitch and her whores, but you gentlemen are something I didn't anticipate." he paused, "No matter, after I kill her and make her friends into my personal playthings I'll take care of you two."

I then looked at Elisa and felt a powerful aura radiate off her before she went for the katana on her hip which I didn't notice was there.

"It's been a while," Elisa said in a more mature voice as she grabbed the hilt of the katana and unsheathed it a little bit. I saw Elisa's body start to glow a blackish purple and I could see her hair start to float upwards. "Since I've felt true blood lust."

Suddenly Elisa disappeared leaving a crater in her place and when I looked at the king I saw she was there with the blade fully unsheathed and aimed at his neck but she stopped. When I looked down I saw the king had his right palm facing Elisa's stomach and a large shard of ice had impaled her.

"Elisa!" Rage and the Thestral mare shouted who was still in the room with us along with the unconscious mare however the strange tubes were missing.

Elisa then lost her grip on the katana causing it to clatter to the ground as the ice shard shattered. Elisa stood there for a few seconds before falling to her knees and then her side, leading me to assume she was unconscious. I dashed at her with incredible speeds and caught her before she hit the floor.

"You fool, never let your emotions get the better of you like that," I whispered before I brought her back over to Rage. I snapped my fingers releasing the two mares from their cuffs and bringing them over.

"Rage, can you help her?" I asked.

"I think so but not here," Rage said.

"Get these three out then I'll handle things here," I said.

"Alright, you know that giant piece of metal near Canterlot Mountain?" Rage asked causing me to nod. "Meet me there."

"I don't remember giving any of you permission to leave. GUARDS!" the king yelled and soon the entire doorway was blocked.

"Now what?" the Thestral mare asked.

"I've got this," Rage said.

"How," the mare asked.

"Don't you know...I'm one of the reapers to the Angel of Death," Rage said causing the mares eyes to widen in excitement before Rage took his shotgun off his back. It was a silver pump action shotgun with demonic beasts on the side of the barrel and an angry skull with pointed teeth on the end of it with the word Punisher engraved on the handle. Rage then squeezed the trigger and held it. The demonic beast's eyes on the sides of the shot gun lit up with fire along with the skull on the end of the barrel and when Rage released the trigger there was a massive demonic roar from the weapon. A massive torrent of fire burst out of the gun and towards the doorway creating a massive blast and when the smoke cleared all that was left was a massive hole that showed me the outside of the castle. Rage then put his shotgun away, picked up the unconscious mare and Elisa, and left with the Thestral while I turned to the gobsmacked king. I then noticed the katana was left behind so I used my magic and brought it over to me and when I grasped the handle I heard sniffling coming from a young female within the blade.

"Hello there," I said to the blade causing the sniffling to stop.

"Uh...hello...can you understand me?" the blade said before a face appeared on the blade which was of a human girl at the age of seven years old with violet hair and eyes.

"Indeed I can. Now can you tell me why you're crying?" I asked.

"Because Elisa was *sniff, sniff* she got hurt," the girl said as tears appeared in her eyes.

"Calm down little one your friend is going to be fine alright Rage isn't going to let her die," I said.

"R-really?" the girl asked causing me to nod.

"Tell me would you like to get some payback?" I asked as I moved the blade so she can see the king.

"Yeah," the child said as if her parents said she can get an ice cream from an ice cream truck.

"Well if I'm going to be using you, I would like to learn your name," I said.

"It's Shi," the girl said.

"Alright Shi my name is Bones," I said before I pointed Shi at the Zebra king. "Hey you old fucker," I said gaining his attention. "Don't think for a second you're going to get off the hook that easy."

"You can't kill me didn't you see what happened the last time you filthy mutt?" the king said in a boastful way as if he had won already.

"Care to repeat what you just called me?" I asked calmly.

"Mutt, that's what you are M-U-T-T. A filthy, disgusting, wretched mu-AAAHHHH," the king said but didn't finish as I cut off his hands causing him to scream in pain.

"This is one impressive blade," I thought to myself. "Now that the source of your magic is gone your highness let's see what kind of fun ways there are to torture you," I said before shadows crawled up onto my left hand causing the fingers to turn into a set of drills, saw blades and knifes. I had a sadistic smile on my face while the king was terrified.

"NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" the kings screamed, his voice being heard across the kingdom.

---

I was flying back over the wasteland with Shi in my grip and Elisa's Berretas. Shi seemed to have calmed down after I exacted vengeance for her. The kid seemed nice despite the fact her name means death in Japanese. Right now she was helping me find our way back to Canterlot Mountain and as we approached I saw the massive metal object from before was being held up off the ground by strange metal supports and there was something moving around its surface.

"I take it that's the work of Rage's other friend," I said.

"Oh you mean Evo yeah this does look like his work," Shi said.

"Well than I suppose I'll have to meet this guy," I said before I flew over to the massive piece of metal.

As I got closer I saw the moving objects were tiny robots and they seemed to be repairing the object. As I flew around I saw an opening on the right side of the metal monstrosity and as I gazed at it I could just see Rage flagging me down. I flew down towards him and landed on the ground in front of him.

"Hey Rage how's she doing?" I asked.

"She'll be fine I guess but what happened to the king?" Rage asked.

"The walls of the throne room have a new decoration, he wouldn't be causing a problem anymore. Even snagged some souvenirs," I said as I pulled the five rings the king was wearing out of one of my pockets to show Rage.

"Well I'm sure Elisa will be glad to hear that. C'mon let's go see how they're doing," Rage said as he lead me into the massive structure. The walk took about five minutes but neither of us said a word to one another the whole way and when we arrived I saw the Thestral, the alicorn and Elisa were in some strange pod things and they were all naked. Also in the room was another human that looks to be 24 years old with dark tan skin and green eyes. He was wearing a Black button up jacket with a white tank top below it along with a pair of blue jeans and black military boots. I saw him talking to a hologram of a human woman in her early twenties. She had short hair and had what looked like a sailor’s uniform on. uniform

"I'm back," Rage said announcing our presence to the human and hologram.

"Hey, who's the wolf?" the human who I assumed was Evo asked as he pointed to me.

"This is Bones Evo and he's a wraith without his memories so don't ask about his background too much," Rage said.

"Well," Evo started as he walked over to me. "It's nice to meet you." Evo finished as he held his hand out to me.

I decided not to say anything and shook his hand with my still damaged hand. As we shook I could see he was uncomfortable in shaking my hand so I released it.

"How long?" I asked as I looked at the pods containing the three from before.

"I..... Don’t follow." Evo said as he looked at me with unease.

"How long until those three are healed?" I asked as I looked back at him.

"Well Lucky and Faust should be healed quickly, but for Elisa there's going to be a problem." He said as he looked over to the pod.

"What kind?" I asked when suddenly the sound of shattering glass filed the room.

We all looked at the source of the noise and saw Elisa had smashed the window on the pod and was crawling out of it. Evo then rushed over and tried to push Elisa back into the pod.

"Let me go dammit!" Elisa yelled as she struggled to get out of Evo's grip.

"No-ugh- you need to heal! You still-huff- have a big ass hole in your gut and you're making it worse." Evo said just as Elisa coughed up some blood.

I then pushed my way past Evo and placed a hand over Elisa's wound causing her to grunt in pain when suddenly the wound began to close without so much as a scar before I backed off and allowed the two to stare at where the wound once was.

"Bones...What was that?" Rage asked.

"It's a technique I just remembered how to use. Something about Elisa and Evo struggling reminded me of a similar experience with a patient who wasn't supposed to die yet. So I just did the same trick however there's a drawback," I said as I almost collapsed in pain while clutching my own gut. "The pain and wound has to go somewhere," I said before I stood tall and shrugged off the pain.

"Dude you didn't have to do that. There was a powerful healing spell I knew that we could have used." Evo said as he let Elisa go causing her to hit her head on the ground. She let out a groan as she pushed herself up and back into the pod.

"Eva- I mean Evo can you tell me where my clothes are?" Elisa asked with a large blush.

"I had to take them off or least they hinder the healing effect of the pod," Evo said

"Okay now where is Lucky and my daughter?" Elisa asked

"Rage brought them and you back, and they are in the other pods." Evo said causing Elisa to let out a sigh before looking at us.

"Now I know Evo has asked this before, but what do you guys need?" Elisa asked with a serious expression.

"Well first I think you should have these back first," I said as I held out Shi and Elisa's guns. Suddenly, before I could even blink, Elisa punched me in the chest causing me to drop the weapons and send me flying through several walls till I hit something and fell to the ground face first. "What kind of lousy excuse of a thank you was that?!" I shouted as I picked myself up and began to walk back through the holes

"One, don't touch my weapons! Two by you touching Shi that is essentially touching me!" Elisa shouted.

"Well how was I supposed to know about that also what was I supposed to do, leave them there?" I asked as I stepped into the room.

"No! They're the last things that will remind me of who I was." she said in a sad tone as she looked at the floor.

"Then you understand why I picked them up for you then," I said as I went to lean against a wall and we all sat in silence.

"I guess I should tell you both on what we are doing here huh," Rage said breaking the ice between us.

"Please do, it's getting a little awkward for my tastes." Evo said as he sat down next to Elisa.

"Alright well as Elisa here knows we have a bit of a caribou infestation back home and we could use your help," Rage explained.

"Hmm well as much as I'd like to help you guys, I need to stay here on the ship and make sure the repair goes well, finish fixing the engines and make sure no one gets on here." Evo said as he leaned back against the pod.

"But I can go." Elisa said as she raised her hand a little.

"You don't seem to get it we need both of you this time," Rage said.

"sigh How bad is it?" Evo asked.

"We're not dealing with just Diann this time, he has eight sons with him and each one now controls every single country and caribou are almost popping out of the woodwork. They're like weeds, cockroaches and rabbits all in one and with Ash gone I can barely hold my own on the battlefield," Rage said.

"You, have trouble? If you're having trouble then that must mean there a significant challenge to defeat." she said before she started to laugh.

"I guess I'll go along." Evo said before looking over at the hologram. "Delma put the entire ship on lock down. Do NOT let anyone in under any circumstance, and if any Caribou or Zebra get near this vessel you are clear to use lethal force to stop them."

"Understood sir." the hologram said.

"Y'know for the record Elisa, we have every reason to be having trouble. Each one of those royal assholes have stolen some of Ash's power," Rage said.

"They did what now?" Elisa asked as she looked at Rage with a deathly glare, and her voice seemed to drop a few octaves.

"Allow me to explain, you both remember being told about Heartless right?" Rage asked.

"Yes I remember you telling us about him. Evil guy trying to destroy everything." Elisa said.

"Yeah but what you didn't know was that he was Ash's clone," Rage said this got shocked looks from both of them.

"Huh ya learn something new every day." Elisa said as she looked at Evo causing him to look at her.

"I guess so." he said before looking back at us.

"Keep in mind this wasn't his choice, it's Lilith's doing. She wanted to make an army of Ash's to take over Heaven, Hell and Earth. So she tried to kidnap him but that's when Ash's dad intervened, forcing her to steal the vial of blood that was going to be used for testing and after Lilith succeeded in creating a squad of Ash's, his parents appeared and destroyed them all but missed one give you a guess on who it was," Rage said.

"Heartless." Elisa and Evo said in unison.

"Yep but anyway I should get on with it uh oh yeah, it was the day of a natural eclipse in Equestria. The day that both Ash and Heartless would fight and let me tell you it was like nothing you've ever seen. But as they fought it turns out neither of them could win so there was only one option left. Ash sacrificed his own soul to stop Heartless once and for all and saved Equestria in doing so," Rage said.

"Yea." Elisa said in a sad tone causing Evo to look at her with a scowl on his face.

"You knew about this and didn't tell me?" Evo said.

"I know. I was trying to find the right time to tell you because I felt it before I read the letter he sent. Trust me I was going to tell you." she said before the two looked forward to continue the conversation.

"Well I'm glad she didn't because it's really my job to break the news to you two. Anyway after the battle a massive tomb was built to honor the dead who fought with us along with it being a place to lay Ash's body to rest. The entire world went into a mourning period for a month after the funeral," Rage said while he lowered his head slightly before pausing for a few moments. "A year after the battle I received word that something was happening at the tomb and by the time I arrived I was too late because you see, Ash's tomb was robbed of everything including his body."

"So let me guess, the leading Caribou stole anything related to Ash and used what they took to take over the world?" Evo said in a grim tone.

"Actually no, they scattered everything that belonged to Ash across the countries. Devoting everything we had into tracking them down we didn't even realize we were being attacked. When Diann first appeared along with his sons they claimed they were friendly. I was suspicious so I told Faust and Discord of what happened here in this world and so they went out to visit the other countries and see if anything was wrong but no one has heard from them since. When they were ready Diann told us of their true intentions and presented us with Ash's body like it was a trophy and let me tell you everyone was pissed. Luna was outraged but I was furious," Rage said before a hot flaming red aura surrounded him for a second before vanishing. "In my anger I melted half of Canterlot Castle, stone turned to magma, metal turned to slag. I alone drove the caribou out of Canterlot but when I faced off against one of Diann's son's I was shocked to see how strong he was, he even had the wings of a Demonic Angel on his back. That's when he told me that they had drunk the blood that flowed in Ash's veins granting them the same powers Ash had."

I heard the sound of metal groaning and when I looked to the source I saw Elisa's hands pushing against the floor creating dents. That was before the metal snapped, making holes in the floor as she squeezed the metal in her hands. "When do we leave?" she seethed before looking at Rage. I saw that her left eye was blood red again and had black smoke coming from it, as well as a black aura surrounded her.

"Right now but let me make one thing clear to you two leave Diann and his sons to me," I said.

"I can't promise you anything." Elisa said. "But if I happen to kill one I'll be sure to keep ahold of it for you, though you can kill Diann all you want."

"You will do as I say!" I shouted causing Elisa, Evo and Rage to flinch slightly. "Diann and his sons have been on Death's list for a long time now. They have been killing wraiths and stealing innocent souls and adding them to their own lifespan to keep themselves alive for hundreds of years. They are my targets and you will not interfere with this," I growled.

At this Elisa shot to her feet. "I don't fucking care what you say! I will kill any and all that are wicked, it's my job! You're not my damn superior so you can't order me around! So get that through your thick fucking skull! I may not be from your dimension but in this one I am Death here, not Death's right hand woman but Death itself! I earned this title form the last Death that was here over a thousand years ago. So if you got a problem dealing with that then take that stick out of your arse." she finished with a huff as she looked at me with narrowed eyes.

My anger spiked and before I knew what I was doing I had my right hand wrapped around Elisa's throat while I was lifting her in the air.

"You may be Death here but that doesn't make you better than me either, for I have killed more Deaths who have strayed from their path then you can even begin to count. I serve the high reaper himself, the one that gifts Death's their powers. The same one who is known in every world as the guy in the black cloak," I said as the air became cold and unforgiving. Shadows reached out and billowed around me and some became dark tendrils that were moving around fanatically just itching to kill. I could see in the reflection of Elisa's eye the insignia on my right eye was glowing, even the skeletal hand on my left arm was glowing. While I was looking in Elisa's eyes I saw fear but she tried to be furious with me. I then remembered her left eye which still had smoke pouring from it and was red but after a snap of my fingers her eye returned to being amber coloured which surprised her. "So listen here and get it into you puny brain I may not be able to tell you what to do but that doesn't mean I can't kill you here either. The only reason why I haven't snapped your scrawny neck is because we need your help to fight Diann," I said before I dropped her to the floor and walked over to the door but stopped. "I recommend you grab what you need cause if I'm right you won't be back here for a very long time," I said before I left.

I marched down the hallway in a rage tossing aside wires that hung from the ceiling and kicking aside lose pieces of metal on the floor without a care. I was too infuriated with everything going on around me, it's almost unbearable. First there's my lost identity, then there's having to deal with Celestia and everyone else back in the other Equestria and also now, when I just threatened to kill a possible ally. This whole thing about wraiths and friendship is beginning to do my head in at an alarming rate, so bad it hurts whenever I try to think about it. I had stumbled across a large corridor that had large windows on one side that showed the outside of the ship. I stood in place watching the scenery before me for who knows how long when suddenly a voice echoed through the hallway.

"All nano bots please report to the service bay to be checked. As for passengers, Elisa and Bones you are needed on the bridge."

"And how am I supposed to know where that is?" I asked myself before I looked down and saw a blue arrow with the word bridge written on it in bold white letters. "Of course."

I then followed the arrows for a few minutes and in that time I felt the ground beneath me move before I arrived at a pair of electronic doors with an arrow pointing at it. I walked in and saw a lot of electrical stuff and a set of stairs that led to a platform that looked over the entire room. At the front of the room was a massive window that showed the outside and on the platform was Evo and Rage. I was about to speak when suddenly I almost fell backwards from the craft's movement and the window showed we were moving forward.

"Bones please stand over by Rage if you'll be so kind." Evo said without looking at me so I walked over to Rage and watched as Evo stood there for a minute before turning around and clapping his hands. "Alright, I have good news and bad news. Which one you want to hear?" he asked.

"Don't care," I said plainly.

"Okay, well the bad news is that we can't get back to your world-" Evan started.

"THE FUCK!" Rage shouted.

"Hey hey hey," Evo said as he did a pushing motion. "I did say there was good news."

"Then it better be a way back," I said.

"It is. All I need from you guys is coordinates and a magical signature from the planet. Seeing how you guys have magic from your world that's one less step we have to take." Evo said as he motioned for us to come over to him.

Rage and I looked at each other before we walked over.

"Now what?" I asked.

"Just place your hands on this sensor and feed some magic into it. Then after that enter the coordinates into the computer and we'll be on our way." he said as he crossed his arms.

I let out a sigh before we did what was asked and began feeding magic into the sensor causing numbers to appear on the screens. A large rift appeared before us and the ship lurched forward into the unknown.
