Next Morning

Asura was spending his time with his secret project that he didn't let the Readers see. This project will help Equestria in its own way. After working on it for a few hours, he look at the watch and saw that it was 1:00. Its time he left and rest for a bit. Before he left, he cast an invisibility spell on the entire area of his project. He is keeping this project a secret for now. Later, he will surprise the girls with this.

Asura went to Sugarcube Corner and met with Pinkie who tackled-hugged him. She said, "Hi Asura." She kiss him on the lips and said, "What can I get for you?"

Asura hugged her and said, "Hello Pinkie. Can you get me 5 chocolate milkshake, please?"

Pinkie smiled widely and said, "Of course Asura. 5 chocolate milkshake coming right up."

Pinkie zoom towards the kitchen and came back in 2 seconds. Asura and Pinkie both enjoyed drinking the milkshake together.

Pinkie asked mischievously, "So Asura. What have you been doing lately?"

Asura look at her and smiled. He brought his finger towards her face and boop her nose. Pinkie's face scrunched a bit that made her look really cute. Asura said, "I am preparing a surprise for all of the girls."

Pinkie gasped in joy and asked, "A surprise!? For us!? You have to tell me what it is!? Please tell me!? Plleeeaassseeeeeee?" She asked with a cute pout that made his heart go 'Daaaawwwwww'.

Asura composed himself and said, "That is ..... a secret."

Pinkie frown and then then puff her cheek cutely. Hhhhhhnnnnnnggggggg. How can these ponies do this level of cuteness. Asura kiss her on her lips and that Pinkie leaned in and relaxed. She then cuddle with him as she sat on his lap. After resting for a while, Asura gave her another kiss before he left the bakery.

As Asura was walking through Ponyville, he came across the closed restaurant. He also saw that the ponies passing by frowned at the closed restaurant. Are they sad that they could not eat food at this building? Perhaps he should buy this building and get it running again. Since this building, it will help him with his secret project. So he went to the Town Hall and went inside.

Asura saw the secretary who greeted him,"Hello Asura. How can I help you?"

Asura greeted her and said, "Good Morning. Is Mayor Mare inside? I have some business with her?"

The secretary nodded and said, "Go right ahead. She is inside."

Asura went inside a room and met with Mayor Mare who was stamping on some documents. She look up from her work and saw him. She smiled and greeted him, "Hello Asura. Its nice to see you again. What can I do for you today?"

Asura greeted her, "Hello Mayor Mare. Its nice to see you too. I wanted to buy the restaurant that has been closed down."

Mayor Mare asked, "Are you planning to run the restaurant?"

Asura nodded and said, "Yes. I have seen several ponies walk across the restaurant with a frown. Maybe they miss eating food there? I will be running it and cook for them."

Mayor Mare Eyes widen and asked, "You can Cook!?"

Asura chuckled and said, "Yes I can cook."

Mayor Mare said, "But that is a mares job? No stallion would ever make his own food."

Asura said, "The girls asked me this already. I love to cook and when I see others eat it and have a satisfying expression, it makes me happy."

Mayor Mare stare at him in surprise. Stallions will order a female to cook for them but to hear Asura say that he enjoys cooking was something else. On top of that, he is not cooking for money but for the satisfaction of the customers. She smiled at him. He really is a prefect male. Maybe now is the time to ask him that question which she has been waiting for.

Mayor Mare said, "Asura. Can I ask you something?"

Asura nodded and said, "Sure. What is it?"

Mayor Mare look away from him and blush a bit. She asked, "When you look at me, what do you think of me?"

Asura tilted his head a bit in confusion and said, "Well, I see a well aged mare who is capable of running a small town like Ponyville. She works hard in order make the citizens happy that she is the mayor of this town."

Mayor Mare was touched to hear that but there is still one thing she has to say. Her ears flatten on her head and she said, "But I am an old mare. No stallion looks at me and always go for the younger ones."

Asura sigh and said with a soft smile, "You are not old at all. In my eyes, I see you as a beautiful mature mare. If the stallions can't see that then they are blind idiots."

Mayor Mare was shocked to hear that and turn around to look at him with tears in her eyes. Never before someone have said something like that to her. She look down and asked one more thing, "Asura. I want to ask you one more thing but I don't think I am worthy of that. But I still want to ask you."

Mayor Mare took some breath and look up at Asura's face. She said, "Can you give me a child?"

Asura's eyes widen in surprise when she asked something like that from him. Mayor Mare continue, "No stallion has touch me and I have been single for so long. I want to give birth to my child. I want to feel the joy of raising my own child. I want to feel happiness. Can you give me that please?"

Asura stare at her for a while and then said, "I am sorry but I can't do that."

Mayor Mare ears went flat on her head and she became sad. She look down and said, "No no. Its my fault for asking something like that. You have nothing to apologize for." Tears began to fell from her eyes as she was denied to have her own child. However, that changed at what she heard next.

Asura said, "However, I can give you something much better."

Mayor Mare look up at his face in confusion and asked, "What could be better than having my own child?"

Asura gave a soft smile and said, "A family. I can give you a family."

Mayor Mare was shock to hear that and asked, "Are you asking me to join your herd?" He nodded and she asked, "Is it okay for an old mare like me to join your herd?"

Asura walk up to her and hugged her softly. He said, "Of course you can join my family. And when you do bear my children, we both will raise them together. I won't allow any of my family members to raise their children without a father."

Tears of happiness were flowing from Mayor Mare's eyes. She only wished to have her own child but she got something even more. A family. She hugged him tightly and cried into his chest. No stallion has ever did something good for her but Asura has given her a chance to find happiness.

After crying for a while, Mayor Mare calm down and she wiped her tears. She said, "Thank you Asura. For giving me a chance to be happy."

Asura smiled and said, "I will make sure to keep you and the girls happy for the rest of their lives."

Mayor Mare smiled and said, "Thank you. Now you came here to buy the deeds for the restaurant?"

Asura nodded and said, "Yes. How much will the restaurant cost?"

Mayor Mare said, "You don't need to pay for it. You can have it for free."

Asura shook his head and said, "No Mayor Mare. You should not give the building to me for free. I will pay for it."

Mayor Mare said, "But you should. You gave me a family. Let me do something for you."

Asura said with a smile, "Mayor Mare. You are now a part of my family, so let me tell you something. I will never abuse my relationship with my friends and family. Others will take advantage of it but I won't. And never will."

Mayor Mare was surprise that he won;t take advantage of her position. She smiled sweetly and hugged him. She said, "I am so glad to be with someone like you Asura. Its true that others would have taken the deed for free but you didn't."

Asura hugged her and they stayed like that for a while. Then they released each other and Mayor Mare said, "The restaurant will cost you about 3,000 bits."

Asura nodded and pulled out 3 gold bar from his pocket dimension and gave it to her. Mayor Mare took it and gave him the deed of the restaurant. Asura said "goodbye" to her and left Town Hall. He walk around Ponyville while he checked on how his Gourmet Cells were coming along. He found them to be 0.31% completed.

Since Asura has some free time, why not use it? He then began to form another weapon inside his body. A deadly one at that. After a while and some tampering, is weapon was ready. Asura pulled the weapon out from his body and saw what he created.

This may look like a Shuriken but its not an ordinary one. This Shuriken's blade is filled with "Prototype Virus". Just a single cut or scratch is enough to infect his enemies. Asura liked this and made 9 more. Now he has a total of 10 Viral Shuriken.

As Asura was walking through, some of the infected insects mentally informed him about a struggle going on. He immediately used "Soru" to dash towards the disturbance. Asura arrived in an alley and what he saw, made his blood boil.

Three adult stallions, one mare and a colt were in the alley. The mare was pinned on the ground by one stallion, one stallion covered her mouth to stop her from screaming while the last stallion was removing her clothes. The colt was knocked out on the ground. These three bastards were trying to have their way with the mare. These Trash are trying to rape her! He will not allow this.

Asura's muscles began to bulge as his anger increase rapidly. He walk with powerful *Crash* steps the cracked the ground. The stallion stop what they were doing and look at the disturbance. When they did, their eyes widen in fear as they saw who it was. It was Asura and he had a dangerous scowl on his face. The stallion immediately back away from the down mare and began to walk backwards as they saw Asura coming closer.

When Asura was closer to the mare, he stopped and asked in a demonic voice, "What were you three doing to her?"

The stallion were trembling in fear. One tried to lie, "N-nothing! W-we were just trying to ..."

Asura didn't listen to the stallion because it was a waste of time. He look to his left, at the mare that was now sitting on the ground. She tried to cover her self as her upper and lower clothes were removed, except for her bra and panties. She was a tan color Earth pony mare.

Asura asked in a gentler tone, "What were they trying to do with you?"

The mare look at him with tears in her eyes and said, "T-they were trying t-to rape me." She began to cry.

That's all Asura needed to hear. He look back at the three trash and began to walk towards them. The stallions began to move back in fear. However, when they turn to run, they saw that the alley was a dead end. They look back at the approaching Goliath and knew one thing. They fucked up.

As Asura was walking closer to the trash, he saw that the colt was near them. One stallion saw the colt and dive at him to use as a bargaining chip for their safety. As the stallion dive towards the colt, time slowed down in Asura's eyes. He saw what a despicable act the trash was about to do. Asura used "Soru" to dash towards the colt and kicked the incoming stallion in the face.

As the stallion was diving towards the colt, he thought that they could get out of here without a scratch but he thought wrong. Instead of taking the colt, he took a *Bash* powerful kick to his face and was launched backwards towards *Crash* the wall, through it and pass through the house. He fell on the road which caused the nearby ponies to stop and look at him in confusion. However he lost his conscious as he was in so much pain.

The two remaining stallions stare in shock at how easily one of their fellow was kicked through a building by Asura. One stallion came out of his shock and charge at him. The stallion pull back his arm and punch the human in his left cheek. The stallion grinned that he was able to hit the human but then his grin turned into a painful expression when he felt *Crack* the bones in his hand breaking.

Asura look at the one who hit him, from the side of his left eyes and grabbed his face with his left hand. He then thrust the stallion's head through *Crash* a wall that knocked him out. The last one ran away in fear but the human didn't let him.

Asura shot out a tentacle from his right hand towards the running stallion and wrapped it around his neck. He then pulled the stallion back towards him and grabbed him by the back of his head. Asura then lifted him up and the stallion began to beg, "Please! I'm sorry! I won't do it again! You got to believe me! I will never touch a-"

The stallion was cut of when Asura *Crash* slammed his head into the ground and knocked him out. After the three stallions were knocked out, Asura sigh and relaxed himself. He then turn towards the unconscious colt and walk closer to him. He kneel down to get a better look at him and saw that he was had brown coat, two-tone orange mane and tail. There was a bump on his head. Probably the trash hit him on the head to knock him out.

Asura put his hand on the colt's head and let his virus healed the bump. The colt them began to wake up and look around. He asked, "What happened?"

Asura was about to answer but the mare rushed at him and hugged the colt. She cried, "Button! Are you okay!? How is your head!? They didn't hit your head hard did they!?"

The colt who was Button could not answer as his face was squished between the mare's huge breast. Asura said, "You don't need to worry about him. I have already healed his head, so he should be fine."

The mare look at him and smiled with teary eyes, "Thank you Asura. For saving me and my son. I don't know what I would do if those stallions had their way with me."

Asura said, "Its okay. While I'm in town, I will not let these disgusting acts happen. Oh and also, could you release Button? He is about to suffocate from lack of air."

The mare look down and saw that her son's face was turning blue as it was buried in her breast. She immediately released him and said, "Sorry!"

Button took a deep breath and said, "Its okay mom." He then look around and saw the two unconscious stallions, then look back at the human and asked, "Did you do that?" Asura nodded and button's eyes began to sparkle and said, "That's so cool!"

Asura smiled but then realized that the mare was half naked. He removed his coat and covered the mare's body with it. The mare blush a bit and said, "Thank you."

Asura said, "No problem. May I know what your names are?"

The mare eyes went wide and compose herself. She said, "My name is Love Tap and this here is my son, Button Mash."

Asura nodded and then Rainbow came into the alley and said, "Wow what happened here?" She then saw Asura and flew towards him and asked, "Asura! You okay?" She then look at the mother and child and asked, "What happened here?"

Asura told her what happened which made her angry. She then glared at the two knocked out stallions with hate and said, "You did the right thing Asura. If I was the one who find them first, then I would have beaten them into the ground."

Asura scratched her ears to calm her and said, "Its okay Rainbow. Can you get the one on the other side of the house? I am going to tie them up and send them to Canterlot."

Rainbow nodded and flew above the building to get the first stallion that Asura launched through the building. He then gathered the two stallions and waited for Rainbow. She came after a few seconds with the first stallion and Asura tied them together. He then snap his finger and a scroll appeared. He tied the scroll with the stallions and used "Sound Orb" to send them towards Canterlot Castle.

Canterlot Castle

Two guards were guarding the door to the castle. They both were bored as they did nothing more than simply stand and guard the door everyday.

The first guard said, "Man. This is so boring."

The second guard said, "I hear you. I thought that being a guard would be exciting."

The first one said, "But its not what you expected right?"

The second one nodded and said, "Yeah. I just wish that something would happen that would relieve us of our boredom."

Then suddenly, something came down from the sky *Crash* and crashed a few meters away from them. Both the guards got into a defensive position and waited to see what it was. When the dust settled, they were shocked to see three stallions tied together and had some bruises on them.

Both the guards look at each other and then walk closer to them. One guard saw the scroll and took it. He opened it and read:

Hello Guards

These bastards tried to rape a mare. Arrest them.

From Asura

The guards look at each other and grinned. Finally something happened that will take away their boredom. One guard raised a wooden stick and said with a grin, "I got a stick."

The other asked with a raised eyebrow, "And what that will do?"

The first one said, "I'll poke them with it."

The second guard facepalm and said, "Idiot." They then dragged the three criminals inside the castle's dungeon for their fun. Well at least for one of them with the stick.

Ponyville

Asura and Rainbow were escorting Love Tap and Button Mash towards their house. Love Tap thanked Asura for saving them while Button Mash talked about games with him. Asura smiled at the colt for his love for her mother and his games. Yes. He was a gamer. During conversation, Asura found out that her husband left her as soon as she got pregnant with his child. Bastard.

When they arrived at Love Tap's house, she gave him a kiss on the cheek and quickly went inside. Rainbow snickered at Asura's stun expression. After that, Asura spend his free time with the girls. During this time, he was informed by his Viral Hydra's arriving at their location.

Outskirt Of The Dragon Kingdom

On the outer areas of the dragon kingdom, an army of monsters were charging at the city. However, an equal powerful army of dragon warriors were fighting against them. The dragons used their weapons, flight skills and fire breath to push the monsters away. Most of all, the dragons used their sheer size to their advantage and squash several monsters at once. They also had the terrain advantage. With several volcanoes, rivers of lava flowed through out the land. This made it difficult for the monsters to march straight towards the city.

However, reinforcements just keeps on coming for the monsters. No matter how much they kill them, their numbers just keeps on increasing. If that was not the least of their problems, there were several golems on the battle field that were able to match the strength of a dragon warrior. Due to that, several dragon warriors attacked a single golem with all of their might but had a hard time damaging it.

Princess Ember was also on the battlefield and when she saw the golems, she shouted, "Don't attack the golem's bodies! Attack their limbs and immobilize them!"

The dragon warriors nodded and started attack the golem's limbs. Ember look at the battlefield and saw that it was a stale mate. However, that changed when another group of several golems joined in. With the help of the golems, the battle drastically changed in the favor of the monsters. They charged and killed any dragon warrior that stand in their path.

Princess Ember saw how closer the monsters and golems were coming closer to the city. Dragon warriors charged at them but were cut down by the golems. Ember saw her hope decreasing as the monsters come closer and closer by the seconds.

Ember closed her eyes and said, "Asura. Where are you? I need your help. Please."

Suddenly the land began to shake violently that stopped everyone. The earth quake last for a while and then suddenly parts of the land exploded. From them, 50 foot Viral Hydras emerged and began to attack the monsters.

There were about 9 Viral hydras who were attacking, crushing, impaling and eating the monsters. As for the golems, the Hydras wack them away or isolated them, teared them apart and then ate them. Thanks to Teen Dragon DNA, the Hydras had their bodies covered in hard scale and were immune to fire but not against lava. So they stayed away from the rivers of lava.

Princesses Ember and the rest of the dragon warriors look at the giant Hydras in disbelief. What were these things? Where did they came from? Why are they attacking the monsters? Are they going to attack them too? Several questions were popping inside Embers head and she look at the giant worms slaughter the monsters with ease. Then suddenly the ground several meters from them exploded and another one of those giant worm emerged.

The Hydra stood tall and search for the one it was suppose to among the dragons. It then finally saw Ember and slowly lowered its fang towards her. The dragon warriors saw this and thought that it was going to attack the princess. They ran in front of her and one shouted, "Defend the princess!"

The dragon warriors took defensive stance in front of the princess. However, the Hydra didn't stop and kept on coming closer towards her. Ember too stand where she was. She didn't retreat from this thing and stand firm. When the Hydra's fang was close enough, the fang split in two and out came a scroll that was hanging from a tentacle.

Everyone look at the scroll in confusion. No one approach it as they thought that it was some kind of a trap. However, Ember walk towards the Hydra as she was curious about the scroll. Others tried to stop her but she ignored them and continued to walk towards the Hydra. Ember stopped in front of the fang and look at the scroll. She slowly raised her right arm towards the scroll and grabbed it. The tentacle holding the scroll released it.

Ember took the scroll and opened it. She read:

Dear Princess Ember.

I am sorry but it is taking me some time to arrive at your kingdom and help you fight against the monsters. Due to some circumstances, I cannot leave Ponyville for some time.

Don't be disappointed because in my place, I have send these Hydras to aid you in you battle. They are what you can call my pets. I have told them to take orders from you and you alone. They will protect you and your kingdom. Use them however you want to. These Hydras will be able to hold against the monsters for a few more days. In that time, I will be able to arrive at your kingdom and deal with the monsters.

Your friend

Asura.

Ember was shocked to find out that these Hydras were Asura's pets. She look at the Hydra in front of her and raised her right hand. She petted the fang and the Hydra didn't moved. She smiled and look back towards the dragon warriors. The warriors were ready to fight the Hydra but stop when their princess spoke.

Ember said, "Its okay boys. These Hydras are not our enemies. In fact, they are the pets of my friend from Ponyville. He promised me that he would help us fight the monsters and has given us these creatures."

One dragon asked, "But will these creatures listen to us?"

Ember nodded and said, "Yes they will. My friend instructed these creatures to listen to my orders. Watch."

Ember turned towards the Hydra, that had given her the scroll, and said, "Go and attack the monsters who intend to harm this city."

The Hydra turned towards the monsters and slammed on them. The dragons were shocked the see that the creature actually listened to their princess. They cheered as they saw that the tide of the battle was turning in their favor. They gave out a war cry and joined the Hydras in fighting the monsters.

Ember look at the Hydras with a smile and said, "Thank you Asura."

Ponyville

Asura smiled as he was informed by his Hydras that they were pushing the monsters back. Asura spend some time with the girls and then went to Canterlot castle and trained his "Monster Hunter" squad. He did the same thing last time. He grabbed the non-flyers and flew towards their training ground. They run around the racing track and lifted weights. He saw that their strength was steadily increasing with this training. After training was done for the day, he took them back to the castle and went to the cafeteria with everyone else. There, everyone enjoyed Cook Grub's new and improved food.

After that Asura had free time but he was still hungry. He thought what should he eat and felt like he had a craving for some fish. So he opened a dimensional gate to Toriko Gourmet World and went there. When he arrived in that world, he began to sniff the air in order to find some delicious fish to eat. After sniffing the air for a while, he found it and was confused. The smell he got pointed him towards a location that is far away in the sky. What kind of fishes lives in the sky? He shrug his shoulder and grow wings from his back. He then flew into the sky and went towards the location where delicious fishes lived.

After flying for an hour, the scent of the fishes became stronger and stronger by the seconds. This means that he is getting closer to them. The scent was attacking his nose which made him drool. He thought how would the fish taste like? As he was lost in his thought, he failed to notice several creatures flying towards him with extreme speed.

Asura was brought out of his mind when he suddenly lost the feeling in his left arm. He was confused and look at his left arm and saw that his arm .... was not there!? His entire left arm was missing! He look around and saw a group of flying .... FISH!?

No. These are no ordinary flying fish. They are Torpedo Sausage! They are a hybrid of birds and piranhas. They are an aggressive bird-fish beast that live in the Gourmet World where only strong monsters hunters can go and hope to not get eaten by the monsters. Another reason the Torpedo Sausage are terrifying is that they have a Capture Level of 195!

Its size was about 10 feet tall and its overall appearance resembles a shark. Asura look closely at the creature and saw that It had a caudal fin of four flippers that makes it look alike a torpedo. Also, their mouth was filled with razor sharp fangs which looked like they were capable of biting through steel with ease.

Asura glared at the group of Torpedo Sausage and was about to engage them but stop. He saw how fast they were able to fly, so catching them will be a pain in the ass. He then grinned as an idea popped into his mind. He spread his limbs and said, "Come! Free food here for you bastards!"

The Torpedo Sausages flew straight at Asura and withing seconds, he was eaten. The group of Torpedo Sausage flew away with some of their bellies filled with the human's flesh. Is this the end of Asura? Or not?

As the group of Torpedo Sausage flew in the sky, the ones who actually ate parts of the human began to shiver. Then their eyes turned red and became infected. The infected fishes immediately began to attack and eat their fellow fishes. The other fishes saw this and began to attack them. Due to their numbers being bigger than the infected fishes, the infected lost and were eaten. However, those who ate the infected fishes became infected themselves and attacked the others.

This happened several times until only the infected fishes remained who survived the cannibalism. Then the remaining infected fishes charged at a single point and began to merge with each others. There was a blob of red flesh in the sky. It then began to transform and took the shape of a human. It was Asura and he returned back to normal from being eaten by the Torpedo Sausage.

Asura look around and saw that there were not anymore Torpedo Sausage in his surroundings. He was satisfied with eating them was found them to be delicious. Also, it seems that he got its DNA.

Torpedo Sausage DNA
Can create creatures with mouth filled with razor sharp teeth.
Can now breath under water.
Flying speed has been increased.

Asura was impressed. He got three traits from eating Torpedo Sausage. He began to wonder what other traits the Gourmet monsters will give him? Well, he can find them later. Right now, he needs to get back to his Equestria. He opened a dimensional gate that lead back to his Equestria and went through it. He arrived on Equis and saw that time remained the same. He began to like his dimensional traveling power as it allows him to not only travel to other worlds but the timeline of his Equestria remains the same. He can spend any amount of time in another world and he will come back to his Equestria like he didnt left at all.

After that, he returned home at night and went to bed with the four girls in his house. As he was sleeping, he thought about the Viral Hydras. If he can make something like that, then what else he can create? Also, to what extend can his creation be? This needs to be tested out in the near future. This could be really something that could help him. With that, he fell asleep.

Next Day

Asura and his herd mates Twilight, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow, Pinkie, Lotus, Aloe, Gilda, Trixie, Swift Tail, Mellow Hoof, Ditzy and her two daughters Dinky and Sparkler, Fleetfoot, Spitfire, Red Heart, Zecora and Mayor Mare along with the CMC were having a picnic near the lake in Ponyville. The girls were happy to have Mayor Mare join their herd. This made Mayor Mare so happy that she began to cry tears of joy. The girls hugged and patted her back to calm her. After she calm down, they all enjoyed eating the food that was made by Asura. The Mayor was shock to know that he could also cook and it was delicious.

Dinky was sitting in Asura's lap while he feed her pudding. She giggled while she was being feed by him. Sparkler was leaning on his side and fell asleep. He saw this and draped an arm around her in order to kept her from falling off. The site alone made the girls go 'awww'. Ditzy was happy to see how much he lover her daughters like a father would. She really is glad that she is with someone like him and not with those stallions who only want to use her for their desires.

As they were enjoying the picnic, Spike came running towards them with a letter. Spike fell down in exhaustion and gave Twilight the letter. The CMC gave Spike some refreshment. Dinky also went to him so see if he was okay. Asura took Sparkler and laid her on a soft grass and began to pet her head. Twilight opened the letter and read:

Dear Twilight.

I am sure you are as excited as I am about the upcoming wedding in Canterlot. I will be presiding over the ceremony, but would very much like you and your friends to help with the preparations for this wonderful occasion. Fluttershy, I would like you and your songbird choir to provide the music.

Fluttershy gasped cutely and said, "Oh my goodness! What an honor!"

Twilight turn towards Pinkie and read:

Pinkie Pie, I can think of no one more qualified than you to host the reception.

Pinkie Pie exclaimed with happiness, "Hip, hip, hooray!" She did a somersault.

Twilight look at Applejack and read:

Applejack, you will be in charge of the catering for the reception.

Applejack smiled and said, "Well, color me pleased as punch!"

Twilight then look at Rainbow and said, "Rainbow Dash" She yawn as Twilight read:

I would very much appreciate it if you could perform a sonic rainboom as the bride and groom complete their "I do"'s.

Rainbow became stiff and then jump into the air and said, "Yes!"

Twilight then look at Rarity and read:

Rarity, you will be responsible for designing the dresses for the bride and her bridesmaids.

Rarity eyes went wide and she spoke some unintelligible things, "Princess Celestia wants me to uwha wedding dress? For a Canterlot wedding... I, ah, ooh, oooh!" She fell on her back but Asura appeared behind her and caught her. He set her head down on his lap and began to rub her head. Fluttershy also came to his side and started to fan Rarity with her wings.

Twilight continued reading the letter:

And as for you, Twilight, you will be playing the most important role of all: Making sure that everything goes as planned. You can also bring your friends with you as well. We would like to see Asura again. See you all very soon.

Yours, Princess Celestia and Luna.

Twilight then became confused and said, "But... I don't understand. Who's getting married?"

Spike ate the food and said, "Oh, wait! Uh, I was probably supposed to give you this one first." He gave another letter to Twilight.

Twilight took the letter and read:

Princess Celestia cordially invites you to the wedding of Princess Mi Amore Cadenza and-

She gasped in shock and said, "My brother?!"

Asura raised one of his eyebrow and thought Who could marry that racist bastard?

Applejack patted Twilight on the back and said, "Your brother's getting married? Congratulations, Twilight! That's great news!"

Twilight snorted and said, "Yeah, great news. That I just got from a wedding invitation! Not from my brother, but from a piece of paper! Thanks a lot, Shining Armor. I mean, really, he couldn't tell me personally?"

Twilight imitated Shining Armor voice and said, "Hey, Twilight, just thought you should know I'm making a really big decision that changes everything. Oh, never mind, you'll hear about it when you get the invitation."

Twilight then spoke in her normal voice, "Princess Mi Amore Cadenza? Who in the hoof is that?!"

Fluttershy asked with a worried expression, "Um, Twilight? Are you okay?"

Twilight took some breath and calmed down. She said, "Sorry, it's just that Shining Armor and I have always been so close. He's my B.B.B.F.F!"

Everyone look at her confusingly at what that word meant. Twilight then explained like it was the most obvious thing, "Big Brother Best Friend Forever?"

The rest of the girls said "Ohhh!" in understanding.

Asura and all of his herd mates boarded the train for Canterlot. Mayor said that she could take a break from all of the work and joined them. She assigned her secretary to look over her work while she is away. Even Zecora came because she was going with Asura. Spike, the CMC along with Dinky and Sparkler were also on board the train. On the train, they all converse with each other and talk about the upcoming wedding.

Rainbow said excitingly, " A sonic rainboom? At a wedding?! Can you say "best wedding ever"?!"

Spike said, "So you all get to help with the big fancy wedding, but I'm the one who gets to host the bachelor party! I have just one question. What's a bachelor party?"

The girls laughed at his question. Fluttershy sat with Asura and leaned her shoulder onto his. She rested as she was hugged by him. She spend her time cuddling up to him.

Twilight was a few seats away from the group and had a worried expression. Applejack walk towards her and asked, "Why the long face, sugarcube?"

Twilight sigh and said, "I'm just thinking about Shining Armor. Ever since I moved to Ponyville, we've been seeing each other less and less. Then he was hostile towards Asura for being an and now he is going to marry this "Princess Mi Amore Ca-whatshername". What will he do when he becomes a prince? Will he use his new position to his advantage against Asura?"

Applejack patted her back and said, "Come on, now. That won't happen. Even if Shining Armor does becomes a price, he would not be able to do anything to Asura. You all saw what he did to Blueblood when he tried to send Ditzy to the dungeon?"

Twilight nodded and said, "Yeah. I remember. Thanks Applejack."

Twilight then returned to the group and join in their conversation.

Canterlot

After 2 hours, the train was getting closer to Canterlot. Everyone aboard the train saw that the city was covered in a pink shield.

Mayor said, "Whats that around Canterlot?"

Trixie said, "It looks like a magic shield."

Twilight said, "It is a magic shield and I know who cast it."

Applejack asked, "Who cast it?"

Twilight said, "My brother, Shining Armor."

The others were surprise to see that her brother could cast something of that level. Asura look out from the window and look closely at the pink shield. He felt some bad vibes coming from it. In the cart where everyone was siting in the train, they waited as the train began to pass through the shield. Asura saw the the shield was coming towards him and raised his right hand forward. He stretched his index finger and time slowed down in his eyes. He watch as the shield slowly came closer to him and when the shield made contact with his finger, the shield pushed him back. Asura glared at the shield and pulled his head back. Then quickly, he thrust his head forward and *Bash* headbutt the shield. The shield *Crackle* was broken and let Asura pass.

Asura look back and saw that the shield repaired itself. The girls look in shock at the shield as they pass thought it harmlessly but when it came to Asura, he was pushed back but he break the shield with his forehead.

Spitfire asked, "What happened?"

Fluttershy hugged Asura when she saw what the shield did to him. Asura petted her head and said, "I'm okay Fluttershy. Something weak like that can't even scratch me.

Spike asked, "Dude. What was that all about?"

Asura said, "It seems that Shining Armor didn't want me to enter Canterlot or his wedding."

Ditzy asked, "Why would he do something like that?"

Twilight growled and said, "Shining Armor. You dare deny entry to our coltfriend?"

Applejack said, "Looks like Shining Armor still has something against Asura."

Fleetfoot said, "What does he got against Asura?"

Red Heart said, "He should be very grateful that someone like Asura is here to protect us when he and his guards couldn't."

Pinkie's hair went flat and said, "That meanie pants. I will put Tabasco sauce down his pants! Then we'll see him jumping around with his little Jr burning."

The girls look at Pinkie in disbelief. Asura cringe at that thought of having Shining Armor's ..... um dick burning by the Tabasco sauce. Yeouch! He said, "Um Pinkie. I don't think even someone like him deserves that."

Pinkie nodded and said, "Your right Asura. Even he doesn't deserves that."

Asura smiled and said, "Thank-" Pinkie cut him off by saying, "Someone like him deserves something worse. Like having his little Jr covered in sweet honey syrup that will attract bees. Then the bees will painfully sting his little Jr and make it bloated like a rotten banana for a week."

Now the girls were a bit afraid of Pinkie. Asura sigh and let her be. They all waited and after a while, they arrived in Canterlot.

Pinkie's hairs returned back into fluffy hairs and she said, "We're here, we're here!"

When they all left the train, they saw a lot of guards patrolling Canterlot. Rainbow whistled and said, "Whoa, what's with all the guards?"

Rarity dismissed it with her hand and said, "I'm sure they're just taking the necessary precautions. Royal weddings do bring out the strangest ponies."

Pinkie sneezed and from her nose, some confectionery stuff came out. The moment Asura got off from the train, he smelled something. This smell was coming all over the city and beyond it. This scent smell like an insect. He didn't know what exactly it was but he kept his guard on and spread his "Hair Sensor" around him, the girls, children and Spike.

Rarity said with excitement, "Now, let's get going! We've got work to do!"

When they walk into the city, several guards were roaming the streets while Pegasus flew above the buildings. Asura called a nearby guard who just happened to be Silver Streak.

Silver Streak said with relief, "Oh thanks the princesses. Asura. I am so glad that you are here."

This confuses the girls and Asura said, "Its good to be here but can you tell me what's all this is about? Don't tell me that this is all for a wedding?"

Silver Streak shook his head and said, "I would be happy if that was the case but unfortunately its not. A threat has been made against Canterlot. We don't know who's responsible for it, but Princess Celestia and Luna asked us to provide additional protection."

Asura was right to keep his guard up. Someone is planning to attack on this wedding but who could it be? Could it be some monsters? Or some other kingdoms enemies? Or a hidden Delraich that would summon demons into the city? That's bad news. If it comes to this, he will need to use his secret skill.

Asura nodded and said, "Thanks for the info. You can continue with the patrol."

Silver Streak saluted and went back to patrolling the city. Asura and the girls reached the castle and went inside. Twilight ran forward to search for her brother and give him a good earful. She found him talking to some guards.

Twilight said while she approach him, "I've got something to say to you, mister."

Shining Armor look at the one who talked to him and smiled when he saw who it was. He said, "Twily! Ah, I've missed, you, kid. How was the train ride? I–"

Twilight cut him off by poking him in his chest while saying, "How dare you not tell me in person that you were getting married! I'm your sister, for pony's sake!"

Shining Armor put up his hands and said ,"It's not my fault! Princess Celestia has requested a major increase in security. Didn't you see all the guards at the train station?"

Twilight said, "Yeah. Someone threaten to attack Canterlot during the upcoming wedding."

Shining Armor eyes widen and then he narrowed his eyes. He asked, "Who told you that?"

Twilight said, "One of Asura's squad member, Silver Streak told us."

Shining Armor girted his teeth and said, "Why that no good bastard?" He sigh and said, "Whatever but I am keeping this shield up all by my self."

Shining Armor performed another spell to keep up the shield. He gasps in stress and said, "The burden of keeping Canterlot safe and secure rests squarely on my shoulders. Staying focused on the task at hand has been my top priority."

Twilight saw this and said, "Okay, okay, I get it. You've got a really important job protecting all of Canterlot with a force field only you can conjure up. But still... how could you not tell me about something as big as your wedding? Am I not that important to you any more?"

Shining Armor hugged her and said, "Hey. You're my little sister. Of course you're important to me."

Twilight then asked, "Then why did your shield pushed Asura back?"

Shining Armor quirked his eyebrow and said, "My shield did what?" He tried to lie.

Twilight said, "When the shield began to push Asura back, he broke a part of the shield with a simple headbutt."

Shining Armor eyes widen in disbelief. His shield was not able to keep the human from entering the city. He is a powerful shield user but was bested by the alien. Then he saw Asura coming towards him with the rest of the girls.

Shining Armor scowled and said, "How dare you break my shield and entered this city when you didn't have permission to?"

Asura look at him with a bored expression and said, "When did I need permission from someone like you? I can go wherever I want to. Also, the princesses called me here."

Shining Armor was seething with anger but recoiled at the last part. He didn't know that the princesses themselves invited Asura here.

Shining Armor was ready to say something but Twilight interrupted him and said, "You still haven't told me who you are marrying. I don't even know who this "Princess Mi Amore Cadenza" is? When did you even meet her?"

Shining Armor said, "Princess Mi Amore Cadenza is Cadance, your old foalsitter."

Twilight had a confuse expression but then her eyes widen when she realized who he was talking about. She said, "Cadance? As in the Cadance? As in the greatest foalsitter in all the history of foalsitters?!"

Shining Armor chuckles and said, "You tell me. She was your foalsitter."

Twilight began to hop around her brother in joy at the wonderful news as she said, "Ohmygoshohmygosh! Cadance is only the most amazing pony ever! She's beautiful, she's caring, she's kind..." She began to remember what she and her foalsitter (which was Cadance) did when she was younger.

After she remembered her childhood, Twilight said, "How many unicorns can just spread love wherever they go? I only know of one! And you're marrying her! You're marrying Cadance! You're marrying Cadance!"

Then came a voice, "I hope I'm not interrupting anything important."

Everyone look at who it was and saw that it was Cadance. Twilight jump towards her and did her silly but adorable dance. She said, "Cadance! Sunshine, sunshine, ladybugs awake! Clap your hooves and do a little shake!"

Princess Cadance look at her with a raised eyebrow and asked, "What are you doing?"

Twilight said, "Cadance, it's me, Twilight!"

Princess Cadance nodded and said, "Uh-huh" like she was not interested in her.

Shining Armor came closer to Cadance and put an arm around her. She said, "I've gotta get back to my station, but Cadance will be checking in with all of you to see how things are going. I think I speak for both of us when I say we couldn't be more excited to have you here. Right, dear?"

Princess Cadance said, "Absolutely." She had this look in her eyes that said she was up to something no good. Twilight didn't like this look.

Shining Armor said, "Well, we'll let you get to it." He left them.

Cadance then saw the human and became interested in him. She began to walk closer to him. Asura saw her coming and his instinct told him to be aware of her. He took a sniff of her from a distance and found to have the same scent that he has been smelling through out the city. The smell of an insect. He just kept his guard up and see what happens.

Cadance said, "Well, I have not seen anything like you at all. Who and what are you?"

The girls who attended the gala look at her in confusion. How could she not know him. She met him at the gala where his upper clothes were ripped and then they saw his ... very ... well build .... muscles.

This was all the Asura needed to confirm his worries. The one in front of him was not Cadance at all. It was an imposter. However, he didn't attack her, like he would ever hurt a female. He will see where this will go and intervene when it will get a bit messy.

Asura smiled and said, "Greetings princess Cadance. My name is Asura and I am a human from another world."

Cadance quirked and eyebrow and said, "Another world? You must be joking. And call me Princess Mi Amore Cadenza. Also, why aren't you bowing to me?" The girls gasped when they heard her saying that.

Asura simple smiled and said, "I bow to no one. Not even to the rulers of this kingdom. Heck, we humans don't even bow to our own. Its just how we are."

Cadance narrowed her eyes and said, "Whatever. I have some important business to get to. Farewell."

Cadance began to walk pass them. However, when she pass Asura, he whispered so that only she could hear him, "I don't know who you are but we should talk in private later. Just you and me. You can bring some of your guards if you need to feel safe."

Cadance was frozen stiff for a split second, when she was found out by him but then she resumed and walk away. She was baffled that she was somehow found out by the human. She needs to deal with him later if she wants to complete her mission.

Asura and the girls went inside the castle. Asura saw how Twilight was worried about her brother safety when she had met the fake Cadance. He told the rest of the girls, "Girls. I am going to meet with the princesses. Why don't you all help Twilight with the preparations for the wedding."

The girls nodded. Asura also said, "Also, you all are one family now, if Twilight have some concern then please listen to her and support. That is what a family does."

The girls were confused but agreed non the less. They hugged him and went with Twilight in preparation of the wedding. Asura then walk towards the throne room but stop when he heard voices from inside. He heard the princesses talking with someone, so he waited for them to finish. While he waited for them, he listen to what they were talking about.

The male voice said, "... and that is why you both should be in my herd."

Celestia said, "I am sorry Gold Rush but me and my sister have already someone we love."

Luna said, "Yes and he loves us back equally."

The male noble that was Gold Rush said, "Who is he? Whats so special about him that I don't have?"

Celestia said, "We will not say his name but as for the other question, he loves us for who we are, not for our status."

Luna said, "Unlike you, he doesn't see us as princesses or a way to gain fame. He simply sees us as two simple mares and nothing else."

Gold Rush said, "How dare he treat you like a mere mare! He should be banished from Equestria for such behavior against you princesses!"

Celestia said, "I suggest that you stop right there."

Luna said, "Unless it is you that needs to be banished."

Gold Rush said, "Me!? What did I do!?"

Celestia sigh and said, "You are wasting our time Gold Rush. We will not join yours or any others herd at all."

Luna said, "We love our coltfriend with all of our heart. He is much better than you or anyone could be."

Gold Rush said, "Whoever he is, does not deserve you two!"

Celestia said, "Oh and you think you do?"

Gold Rush said, "Yes! You should be with someone closer to your status! A noble!"

Luna said, "Silence! You have no right to say who we can love or can't! Guards! Escort Gold Rush from this castle."

Two guards spoke from within the throne room, "Yes Princesses."

From within the throne room, Asura heard some struggling noises. Then the door opened and out came a noble that was being pushed by two guards. This must be Gold Rush.

When Gold Rush saw the human, he scowled in disgust and said, "What is this thing doing here? Throw it out of this city!"

The guards ignored him and kept on pushing him. Gold Rush managed to push them away and marched towards Asura. He said, "What is something like you doing here in the princesses castle?"

Asura said in a bored tone, "That is none of your business."

Gold Rush became red with anger and said, "How dare you talk to me like that!? I am a noble! You will respect me-" *Bash* *Crash* Gold Rush found himself buried in a wall.

Asura got a bit angry and punched him into a wall. The two guards look at him in shock. He hit a noble and didn't bat an eye.

Asura said, "Damn them. You give them a status and all of a sudden they think they are on top of the world. Disgusting. Take him and throw him out of the castle like the trash he is."

The guards nodded and picked Gold Rush and took him away. Asura then entered the throne room. When the princesses saw him they smiled.

Celestia said, "Guards. Leave us alone."

The guards in the throne room nodded and left them. When they were alone, the princesses rushed and hugged Asura who also hugged them.

Celestia said, "Its so good to see you again."

Luna said as she nuzzle her muzzle into his chest, "Its feels good to be hug by you."

Asura said with a soft smile, "Its good to see you both again."

They remained like this for a while and then released each other. Celestia said, "I wish it was a good time for us to meet again."

Luna said, "With the unknown threat, we can't let our guard down."

Asura said, "You don't need to worry about that. I will take care of this threat."

Celestia asked, "You know who threatened us?"

Asura said, "Yes I do."

Luna said, "Then what are we waiting for? Lets face them."

Asura shook his head and said, "Not at the moment. I still need more info about them."

Celestia asked, "How will you do that?"

Asura said, "I can gather info by simply walking around the castle. Several conversation will lead to hints and new info."

Luna asked, "Are they dangerous for us to worry about?"

Asura said, "No. I don't think they are that dangerous but don't let your guard down just because of that. I will see what to with them when I gather enough info about them."

The princesses hugged him and kissed him. Celestia said, "Be safe my love."

Luna said, "Don't let them take you away from us."

Asura said with a smile, "I won't. I will always be with my loved ones."

Asura left the throne room and started to walk around the castle. He heard several conversations from the castle's staff about various things. He also heard strange hissing noises coming from some guards in the castle. He then walk outside and into a garden.

A voice called to him, "Ah is it you Asura?"

Asura look and saw that it was Fancy Pants and Fleur. He smiled and greeted them, "Hello Fancy Pants, Fleur. How have you two been?"

Fleur said, "We are doing fine. What are you doing here?"

Fancy Pants said, "Ah. You must also be invited to the wedding yes?"

Asura said, "Kind of. I'm just spending my time by walking around."

Fleur said, "Well, in that case, why don't you join us for some tea?"

Fancy Pants said, "That is a splendid idea. Won't you join us?"

Asura nodded and said, "Sure. Lets go."

Fleur said, "Follow us." When she turn around to walk, she tripped on a small rock and fell but Asura quickly caught her and gently lifted her on her hooves. She blushed when she felt his strong arms around her holding her softly. She thanks him for saving her. Fancy Pants saw this and smiled. Maybe the human can help him with a problem hes been having for sometime.

Asura spend a few hours talking with them. He found out that Fleur was a super model and Fancy Pants had several trading connections. However, the conversation gone some weary.

Fancy Pants said, "Asura can you do me a favor?"

Asura nodded and said, "Sure thing Fancy Pants. What is it?"

Fancy Pants said, "I want you to protect Fleur."

Asura was taken back by this request. He asked, "What do you mean by that? Is someone trying to kill her?"

Fleur clutch Fancy Pants arm in worry. He said, "You see Asura, Fleur is not only a super model, but she is sought by several nobles. They want to have her in their herd and gain more fame from it."

A vein bulge on Asura's forehead in rage. He said, "Are you trying to say that the so called nobles want to have her as a prize?"

Fancy Pants said, "Yes."

Asura's rage flared instantly and *Crunch* he crushed the tea cup in his hand. The surrounding atmosphere became a bit hotter due to his rage.

Asura spoke in a demonic voice, "How dare these shits think that they could just claim another being like a trophy? I'll beat every last one of them into a bloody pulp."

Fancy Pants was taken back by that and said, "I'm not asking that kind of protection Asura."

Asura look at him in confusion and asked, "Then what kind of protection are you asking me?"

Fancy Pants said with a smile, "I have lived for a very long time. In a few years, I will die and I won't be able to protect Fleur anymore. I want you- no. I am begging you to let Fleur join your herd." He bowed his head towards Asura. Fleur had a sad expression and hugged him.

Asura was taken back by this request and that Fancy Pants was bowing to him. He said, "Why won't you tell the princesses about this? Would they not be able to help you with this problem?"

Fancy Pants said, "The nobles are always trying to increase their power. In time, they will be able to find loop holes in the princesses protection and they will take Fleur away."

Asura was enraged by this info. Not only was Equestria and other kingdoms were being attacked by monsters, the nobles of Canterlot are now another filth that he has to clean up. He will deal with them personally and when the time comes, he will take away their power, status and rights. He will take away everything from them.

As for Fancy Pants request, Asura thought about it and said, "I have another idea."

Fancy Pants said, "Yes?"

Asura said, "I can make you younger. This way, you will be able to not only protect Fleur but be with her as well."

Fancy Pants and Fleur's eyes widen in disbelief. Magic was incapable of extending ones life but the human here could do it.

Fancy Pants asked, "Can you really do that? Can you make me younger?"

Asura said, "Yes I can. I already made Applejack's grandmother 10 years younger. She was going to die in a few weeks due to old age but I extended her life. Even made her a bit younger and strengthen her bones and muscles so she does not have a hard time in moving around."

Fancy Pants smiled and Fleur hugged him in joy. He said, "You are a really kind stallion Asura." Then his smiled turned into a frown and said, "However, I can't take that."

Asura and Fleur look at him in shock. Why was he denying youth? Did he not want to be with Fleur?

Fleur asked, "Why? You can be young again. We can be together and have a family of our own. Don't you love me?"

Fancy Pants said with a soft smile, "Its not that I don't love you Fleur. Its that even if I did become younger, I still would not be able to protect you."

Asura asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Fancy Pants asked, "Tell me something first Asura. What would you do if someone with the status of a king comes on your doorstep and demand to hand over your herd mates to him?"

This question made his eyes widen in rage and his veins became visible on his face. He answered, "If someone like that does come to my doorstep, then I will mutilate him right there. Then I will go to his kingdom and destroy it from the face of this world. I will not leave a single piece of that bastard's body in this world."

Fancy Pants nodded and smiled. He said, "That is exactly what I wanted to hear. You are able to do things like that for your loved ones. However, I don't have that power."

Asura look at him in confusion and waited for him to explain. Fancy Pants took a breath and explained, "Since nobles are always trying to find ways to increase their status and power, they try to find some secrets about other nobles. When they do find it, they will control them with that. Another way is that they try to buy off my assets and my property. The nobles have ways of getting illegal documents and take away others property. To simply put, they play dirty. Even now, there are nobles who are trying to take away my status and powers bit by bit. Soon, I will not have the power to protect Fleur and she will be taken away by them." Fleur look at Fancy Pants with eyes full of sadness. She knew that it would happen eventually.

Fancy Pants then look at Asura and said with hope, "However, if Fleur is in your herd, she will be safe. The nobles have seen your strength when you fought Discord, so they will stay away from you and your loved ones. However, there are some nobles who will try to confront you but I believe that you will simply beat them down. This way Fleur will be safe from the nobles and she can also have a family with you."

Asura stayed silent for a while as he process all the info Fancy Pants has given him. From Fancy Pants point of view, he didn't had that much power which was decreasing by the nobles. Due to this he could not provide protection to Fleur fr a long time. In case of the princesses protection, the nobles play dirty and will find some sort of loop hole within that protection and take Fleur away. However, if Fleur was with Asura, he would threaten, beat or even kill the nobles who would dare to come near his family. She will be safe with him.

Asura sigh and said, "I'll accept Fleur in my herd but on one condition."

Fancy Pants asked, "Name it. Money. Land. I'll give you anything for Fleur's safety."

Asura look at Fleur and said, "I'll allow Fleur to join my herd if she comes willingly."

Fancy Pants asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Asura said, "All the girls who are in my herd, asked me to join my family. Never once have I forced another girl to join my herd. If Fleur wants to be in my herd then she must come of her own free will. I will not force you or any other to join my herd against their will. You have the freedom of choosing of what you want."

Fancy Pants and Fleur eyes widen at that. They thought that he would be happy to take Fleur into his herd but he is giving them the freedom of choosing of what they want.

Fancy Pants look at Fleur and smiled. He said, "Fleur my dear. Asura has shown that he is a true gentlemen and that he treats females with respect. Go to him my dear. He will protect you from the nobles. You can even start a family with him."

Fleur look at Fancy Pants with sad eyes and said, "But my love. I want to be with you. I know that Asura may be the only male comparable to you but I still want to be with you."

Asura saw this and tried to comfort her by saying, "Fleur. You don't have to join my herd right away. You can spend all the time you want with Fancy Pants. However, when the nobles take away his status and power, that is when you should come to me. I promise you that I will not only care for you but love and protect you as well. Just like the girls in my herd."

Fleur was silent for a while and then she look at Asura with a soft smile. She said, "I like that. Thank you Asura."

Fancy Pants nodded and said, "Thank you but how will I contact you? For all I know this incident will happen in the near future and the nobles will be on my doorstep to take away Fleur."

Asura lifted his right hand and created an infected hornet. He said, "This is a hornet made from my flesh. You can contact me by speaking to it." The hornet flew towards Fancy Pants and landed on one of his coat's buttons. The hornet then transformed into a red button.

Fancy Pants look at the red button with wide eyes. He said with a smile, "Asura my boy, you are just full of surprises. I Thank you again for what you are doing for Fleur."

Asura smiled and said, "No problem. Out of all of the nobles, you and Fleur are the ones I like so far."

Fleur came closer to Asura and hugged him. She said, "Thank you Asura."

Asura hugged her and scratched her ear. She leaned in his hand as he scratched her ear. After that, Asura said 'goodbye' to them and left the garden. He began to walk towards the castles exit but before that, he heard how Twilight was suspicious of Cadance and told her friends. The rest of the girls didn't believe her at first but then remembered what Asura told them. They are a family now and must support each other no matter how crazy it is. The girls agreed with Twilight and started to believe her as the fake Cadance didn't act well.

Asura then exited the castle and walked through Canterlot's streets. As he walk, he heard more of those hissing sound coming from various parts of the city. He also saw a couple of ponies acting weird. Like this one mare who was giving flowers avoided her eyes from him. Then another pony quickly changed the direction of his face away from Asura when he look at him. On several occasions, this happened which confirmed that some of these ponies were fakes. Even some of the guards acted weird which confirmed that they have infiltrated them.

Asura look up and saw that it was night time. So he went back to the castle. He still has to have a private conversation with the fake Cadance. Asura went inside the castle and towards Cadance's room. When he reached the room, there were two guards there and they had the scent of insects coming from them. When they saw Asura coming towards them, their bodies became stiff as they were about to defend the one inside.

Asura stop a few feet away from them and said, "I want to have a conversation with the one inside."

One guard said, "She does not want to be disturbed, so go away."

Asura said, "I already told her that I want to have a talk with her and I will. I am not here to harm her." He began to walk towards the door.

The guards took out their swords and pointed towards the human. The guard said, "Halt! Come any closer and we will be forced to attack you."

Asura look at them and calmly said, "Do you really think you both have a chance of stopping me let alone hurt me? If I wanted to, I can easily rip you both into pieces and devour your corpses. Now choose. Either you let me pass and get to live or continue to stop me and I will devour you both and then enter the room and have my talk with her. You got 5 seconds. So choose."

The guards tense their muscles as they glare at the human. Asura said, "One."

The guards didn't move from his path and Asura said, "Two."

The guards then look at each other and Asura said "Three."

Now the guards were trembling in fear as Asura said, "Four."

The guards didn't know what to do in this situation and raised their swords and as Asura was about to say the last number, a voice came out from the room, "Stop! Let him pass."

The guards stopped and put their swords back in their sheath. Asura opened the door and before he went inside, he said, "You two can come in if you feel like protecting her."

With that Asura went inside. The guards look at each other and then followed him inside. Asura saw that the fake Cadance was sitting on a chair and had a smile on her face.

Cadance said, "Well hello Asura. So nice of you to meet me in my room."

Asura took a seat and sat on it. He then said, "Lets cut to the chase shall we. I want to know what your plans are for the ponies."

Cadance lied, "I don't know what you are talking about? I just want to have a great wedding and marry Shining Armor."

Asura closed his eyes and said, "You can marry him and tear him apart, I'm fine with that but! If you are planning on hurting or killing the ponies or even think about enslaving them, then." All of a sudden, the light in the room became dim enough to cast a shadow on Asura's face and when he opened his eyes, Cadance and the guards were scared shitless at what they saw. From the darkness, two demonic red eyes became visible and they look like they were seeing through their souls.

Cadance jump away from her chair in fear and moved back t the wall. The guards step in front of her and took a defensive stance while trembling in fear. Asura released a small amount of power that was enough to make the room shake a bit.

Asura spoke in a demonic voice, "I will kill all of you and devour your corpses."

Asura stare at Cadance with his red eyes for a while and then closed hie eyes. He also stopped his aura and the room stop shaking. The light returned back to normal that revealed Asura. He took a breath and said, "However if you are being forced by someone or you have came here for some other reason, then I will hear your reasons. After I hear it, I will decide what to do with you and your followers. So talk. I'm listening."

Candace took several breath to calm herself. She has never seen something like this. This intimidation the human released showed that he was serious when he said that he would kill them. She was sweating in fear but when he said that he will listen to their reason, she saw some hope for the survival of her species. Her hive.

Cadance said, "We are a species of insects ponies called Changelings. We are called that because we can take the form of others with ease."

Asura said, "That is a convenient ability your species got there. You have no idea how much this ability is in demand where I come from. So, what do you look like?"

Cadance shifted uncomfortably and said, "I don't think you like what you see. You will even call us monsters the moment you see our true form."

Asura said, "Lady. Do you even know what a monster is? A monster is a creature who does not care about the well being of others. A monster will simply takes what it wants, kill whoever it wants. It does not think. It does not care. All it wants is to kill and feast on the flesh of others. That's what a monster is. And besides, I have seen weirder things."

Cadance and the guards were shock to hear that. He explained to them what a monster is and he will not be effected by their true appearance. Should they trust him or not?

Cadance asked, "Weirder things? Such as?"

Asura said with a smile, "A man that can stretch his limbs like they were made of rubber. A man that can eat flames like they were food for him. A girl that can turn herself into water. That are many more where that came from in my home world. One of the weirdest thing is saw is a singing skeleton. He is not a zombie, just a skeleton. He is nice and just wants to sing to others."

Cadance was surprise to hear that other then her, there were beings who possess different abilities. Especially the singing skeleton. How can that be?

Cadance asked, "Are you sure you want to see my true form?"

Asura nodded and said, "Yes. I want to see what you and your species looks like. I won't judge."

Cadance took a breath and then her entire body was covered in green flame. After 2 seconds, the green flame dissipated and in place of Cadance, was a 9 foot female pony. Except she had a green insect like carapace on her abdomen. There were no fur on her body. Her arms and legs had holes in them. Even in her wings. Her horn looked crooked and she had a black crown with white pearls on her head.

She said, "My name is Chrysalis and I am the queen of the Changelings." Her two guards also changed into insect ponies.

Asura just stare at her for a while and then he sigh. He put his right elbow on his right leg and rested his head on his right hand. He look at her with a bored expression and said in a bored tone, "Is that all?"

Chrysalis and her two guards jaws dropped on the floor and eyes widen at that. She shouted, "What do you mean is that all!? I mean look at us!? Were hideous!? We have fangs and claws and these holes in our limbs!? We look like monsters!"

Asura shook his head and said, "No. You look nothing like a monster. I see a beautiful women standing in front of me. In fact, I think you can win a beauty contest with a bit of fancy clothes."

Chrysalis blush when he said she was beautiful. She said, "You don't see us as monsters?" Asura shook his head. She asked, "You really think I'm beautiful?" He nodded.

This made Chrysalis smile. Not a sadistic smile or one that shows she is up to something. No. For the first time, in several years, she genuinely smiled.

Chrysalis said, "Thank you Asura. For not looking at us like monsters."

Asura said, "No problem but you still haven't told me why you came here and impersonating Cadance. Speaking of her, where is Cadance?"

Chrysalis said, "She is fine. I put her to sleep with my magic and she is resting beneath Canterlot. There is a hidden crystal cave where she is sleeping. As for why we are here? Its because my hive is starving."

Asura asked, "Your hive?"

Chrysalis said, "Its what I call my subjects."

Asura nodded and asked, "Why are your subjects starving? Is there a food shortage or something?"

Chrysalis said, "Yes. We have run out of food and came here to take it."

Asura said, "You could have just asked the princesses for food and she would have given it to your people."

Chrysalis said, "We can't just come in here in Canterlot and asked for an audience with the princesses. Have you seen the way these nobles looks at those different from them?"

Asura nodded and said, "I hear you. They also look at me in disgust but I ignored them as they are not important people. They can say whatever they want, I can take it but if they say something bad about my friends, then they will find themselves 50 feet below ground."

Chrysalis was shocked to hear that. He was also treated like a commoner but he ignored them and will harm them if they mistreat his friends. He really cares about his friends.

Chrysalis said, "You don't seem afraid of the nobles?"

Asura scoff at that and said, "They are nothing more than spoiled children who start a tantrum when they are not given the thing they wanted. Give them a status and they think they are better than the rest. Disgusting."

Chrysalis smiled at that. She like that he does not care about ponies like the nobles. He would stand against them and beat them down if they ever did something bad to his friends.

Asura asked, "Is that the reason you didn't want to meet with the princesses?"

Chrysalis shook her head and said, "No. Its because of what we eat that makes us a bit different."

Asura tilted his head in confusion and asked, "And what do you eat?"

Chrysalis said, "We eat love." She answered like it was the obvious thing.

Asura just stare at her in silent. Chrysalis became a bit nervous from the silent and said, "Well?"

Asura said, "Well what?"

Chrysalis said, "Aren't you going to say that is the most crazy thing you heard? Aren't you going to laugh about it?"

Asura shook his head and said, "No. There is nothing to laugh about. You heard me what I said about my people eating different things. There is one man who only eats germs, virus and parasite. There is another who can eat others luck. So I'm not shock to hear that you and your species eat love. But can you show me how you eat it? I want to see it."

Chrysalis was taken back by him. He didn't care what they ate and she was also shocked to hear that there is someone who can eat luck? He really doesn't see them as monsters. Maybe he can be her species savior.

Chrysalis said, "We can eat love from other beings but they need to be affectionate with the one they like. This is why we change our forms into the ones they love and siphon love energy from them. The processes is not harmful. It will simply left the other one tired. That's all. They will gain their energy by resting and eating food."

Asura took the info and said, "So you can only take love energy from another being when they are showing love for you? Is that right?"

Chrysalis nodded and said, "That's right. However, you have seen our true forms. This makes it harder for anyone to like us. Others most likely branded us as monsters for what we look like." She became sad in the end.

Asura sigh and said, "Chrysalis. Don't you ever think that you and your species are monsters. Those who have branded you as monsters are nothing but trash. You just have not meet the right people or ponies in this case. Trust me. There are beings out there who will not be afraid of your species. I know my girls will welcome your species with open arms. And if you haven't notice, I'm not a pony, griffin, Minotaur, deer, dragon etc. I am a human."

Chrysalis was surprised to hear him say that. Every other creature looked at them like they were soul sucking monsters. No one even gave them a chance to tell their part of the story but here is a human who is not only listening to their story but also becoming friends with them.

Chrysalis smiled and said, "Thank you for treating me and my subject with kindness Asura."

Asura dismissed it with a wave of his hand and said, "No problem Chrysalis. Now if what you told me is right, I just need to like you in order for you to eat the love energy from me?"

Chrysalis eyes widen and asked, "You would willingly give your love to me just like that?"

Asura nodded and said, "Of course. and besides, I want to see how your species are able to eat something without a form. So lets get started."

Chrysalis was shocked that Asura would give his love to her with his own free will. She was even more shocked when he saw how much love energy was pouring out of him. When she meet him for the first time, she felt love energy for the other girls coming from him. Now that same energy is spreading out from his body. The energy was so much that it was filling the room. Chrysalis opened her mouth and began to suck the energy into her mouth.

Asura saw that a purple stream was flowing from him towards Chrysalis's mouth. He look at the purple stream intently and raised his right hand towards it. He tried to grab the stream but his hand simply pass through it. This situation reminded of a character from "One Piece". He smiled when he know what to do. He coated his hand in "Armament Haki" and then he was able to grab a portion of the purple stream.

Chrysalis stop and her eyes went wide when she saw the human garbing a small part of the love energy in his hand. She then saw him taking out a beaker and put the love energy in it. Then he put his hand in his pocket and pulled out what seems to be a seed.

Chrysalis asked, "What are you doing? And how did you managed to get a hold of your love energy?"

Asura said, "I simply put my will into my hand and was able to grab it. And this is a flavor seed. Back on my world, when a specific food source is going extinct, the humans would gather the remaining food and make soup out of it. Then they would put a flavor seed in the soup and let it adsorb all of the soups flavor and nutrition."

Asura put the flavor seed in the beaker and the seed began to absorb all of the love energy. Chrysalis was a bit skeptical at what the human told her about the seed but then her eyes went wide and jaw hit the floor when she saw the tiny seed absorbing all of the love energy in the beaker.

Asura then picked up the flavor seed and snap his finger. A pot filled with dirt appeared and he said, "After that, they will plant that seed into the ground and pour water on it. After a week or two, and tree will grow from that seed and bear several fruits."

Asura put the seed in the pot of dirt. He did some hand signs and put his hand on the pot and said, "Wood Style Plant Growth". Chrysalis eyes became wider as a plant grew out from the pot. The plant grew about 10-13 feet tall with several pink heart shape leaves. It then produced many pink heart shape fruits.

Asura look at the fruits and said, "However, fruits made by the flavor seed are no ordinary fruits. Those fruits contains the flavor and nutrition of the extinct food. This is a method that we human have come up with in order to preserve some foods that has a chance of becoming extinct."

Asura picked one heart shape fruit and gave it to Chrysalis who was still in shock. He smiled and said, "Go ahead and take a bite. Tell me how it taste."

Chrysalis look at the fruit and took it. She eyes the fruit carefully and saw some love energy surrounding the fruit. She then took a small bite and shew it. Her eyes went wide when the flavor spread inside her mouth. Not only the flavor was sweet and taste like vanilla but there was love energy in it as well. She ate the rest of the fruit quickly and then she took another fruit and ate it. She ate several fruits because she was also starving like her subjects. After she had her fill, she look at Asura with eyes full of hope.

Chrysalis said in disbelief, "I can't believe it. These fruits has love energy in it. How can that be?"

Asura smiled and raised his right hand. He then brought his hand on Chrysalis's head. When the guards saw this they went into a defensive stance but stop when they saw that he simply put his hand on her head.

Asura petted her head and said, "There is no question about how it is possible or impossible. In my world, there are countless things that will blow away your mind if you keep on asking questions about that. You simply just accept it."

Chrysalis blush when he petted her head. She could feel the amount of affection from him. She smiled and asked, "Can you provide these fruits to my hive? They are all starving as we have to ration our remaining love among them."

Asura smiled and said, "Of course. But on one condition."

The guards didn't like that as they thought he would take advantage of them. However, Chrysalis didn't felt any ill will coming from him. She asked, "And what that condition is?"

Asura said, "You and your species will be Equestria's new neighbors and allies."

The guards and Chrysalis's eyes went wide at that. They thought that he would ask something like becoming his slaves or something but he just asked of them to be Equestria's allies. He also said neighbors. Did he mean that he is given them a place to stay near them?

Chrysalis asked, "Is that all? No becoming your slaves or something?"

Asura's face became one of anger and Chrysalis feel immense malice and hatred coming from him so much that she was about make a run for her life but didn't when he spoke, "I despise slavery with every part of my soul. If I caught anyone committing such a disgusting act, then I will crush them with my hands. I will crush each and every one of those bastards from the face for this planet!" He even *Crack* cracked his knuckles when he said crush.

Chrysalis have never felt this much hatred and malice from a being. There are numerous creatures out in the world who enslave others for their own amusement. Even some of her own subjects have been captured and enslaved by those slavers. She smiled as she finds out that the savior of her species is one who despise slavery.

Asura's anger dissipated and he apologize, "Sorry. I just hate them for what they do. Who gave them the right to take away the freedom of others? Anyway, yes. I want to have your species as not only allies to Equestria but as their friend and neighbors as well."

Chrysalis smiled and nodded. She said, "If those are the conditions, I happily accept them."

Asura smiled and said, "Then I welcome you as Equestria's ally and friend. Also about your staying, I suggest your species staying anywhere but here in Canterlot."

Chrysalis asked, "Why is that?"

Asura gave her a deadpan expression and said, "This is Canterlot. Home of the most stuck up nobles you can find anywhere. They are racist bastards and will belittle you and your species at the first chance they get."

Chrysalis face turn one of realization. She then asked., "But you are also different from them. Don't they target you too?"

Asura said, "I don't care what those little shits say about me. They can say whatever they want but if they dare say anything bad about my friends, then their faces have a meeting with my fist."

Chrysalis began to like this human. A person who don't take shits from other if its about their friends and will protect them at all cost. He really is caring human.

Chrysalis said, "Then I'll take your advise and find another place to live."

Asura said, "There are plenty of cites in Equestria that you can build your home near them. You can also build a small hive near Ponyville. That is the town where I live. So if you face some trouble, you can come and visit me."

Chrysalis said, "Thank you. I will see to it."

Asura said, "Okay. Now can we get Cadance here from her cave?"

Chrysalis nodded and teleported to her location. A few seconds later, Chrysalis returned with Cadance sleeping on the floor. Asura picked her up and put her on the bed. Asura, Chrysalis and her guards then pass the time talking with each other in Cadance room. After some time, Cadance woke up from her sleep and look around the room.

Cadance saw Asura and said, "Good morning Asura. Why are you in my room?"

Asura look outside the window and saw that it was night time. He look back at her and said, "Candace. Its not morning. Its night time and I am here talking with our new ally and friend."

Cadance look at the who he was talking about and her eyes widen when she saw her. She took a defensive stance and shouted, "What is she doing here!?"

Asura look at her in confusion and asked, "What do you mean?"

Cadance said, "She is the one who captured me and took me down to the crystal cave and cast a sleep spell on me!"

Chrysalis had a sheepish expression and said, "Um sorry? I apologize for what I did. I had to do what I thought was best for the survival of my subjects."

Cadance shouted, "That still does not give you the right to what you did to me!"

Asura said, "Cadance. Please calm down. Lets all take a breath and talk like normal people do."

Cadance was angry at Chrysalis for what she did and did want her to be near her but she took Asura's advice and took several deep breaths to calm herself. After that she said, "Okay. I'm calm now. So tell me. Why did you do it?"

Chrysalis then began to tell her how her subjects have been starving and how she could not meet the princesses because of how they look. Cadance understood what she meant. Chrysalis species did have a bit of an intimidating look that would make others run in fear but after talking to her, she found out that they just look differently and that they eat love which was awkward since she was the princesses of love.

Chrysalis also told her how Asura has made a fruit fill with love energy and promised to provide her hive with them. Cadance was quite shock to see the heart shape fruit and that it has love energy in it. Chrysalis then told her about Asura's condition of becoming allies to Equestria and be their friend and neighbors.

After listening to Chrysalis, Cadance said, "I get that you have to do what you needed to in order for your species survival but why didn't you simply meet with one the the princesses? They would have helped you, you know?"

Chrysalis was quite for a while and then she turned her face away from her. She said, "There is also another reason I didn't show myself to the princesses."

Cadance asked, "What is that reason?"

Chrysalis said, "They hurt my daughter."

Cadance gasped in shock and said, "The princesses would never harm others unless they harm her subjects!"

Chrysalis shook her head and said, "I didn't meant the princesses. I meant the guards."

Cadance said, "Why did the guards hurt you daughter?"

Chrysalis said, "My daughter, Insectum was 10 years old when it happened. She wanted to meet you ponies and become friends with them. I saw this as a chance to make friendly relationship with the ponies. So I send her along with a couple of guards to Canterlot. However, it didn't go as I wanted it to be."

Cadance asked in a worry tone, "What happened?"

Chrysalis said, "Insectum was approaching Canterlot under a white flag. A group of royal guards were patrolling the outskirt of Canterlot. They were the ones who spotted my daughter and attacked her immediately."

Cadance gasped and said, "But she was under a white flag. You don't attack someone when they are under a white flag."

Chrysalis said, "But they did. They ignored the white flag and started shooting spells on my daughters. Her guards tried to protect her but were killed while defending her. My daughter was severely injured before she managed to cast a teleportation spell and came back home. I ran to see her but to my horror, I could not even recognize with all of those injuries. The doctors did their best to heal her but she will forever be scarred. She lost more than half of her face and an eyes, an arm and a leg. She will never be able to walk correctly, or speak again." Tears flow from her eyes when she remember back then of how her daughter look like with all of those injuries.

Cadance covered her mouth in horror as she heard what the royal guards did to Chrysalis's daughter. Asura on the other hand was furious. He may look calm on the outside but on the inside, his anger was erupting like a volcano. How dare they hurt a child like that? No child should ever go through things such as this. He will find the one responsible for harming Insectum and severely punish them.

Asura said while trying to keep his anger in check, "Do you know the one responsible for hurting your daughter?"

Chrysalis shook her head and said, "No. I don't. All I know is that the guard is a male unicorn in the royal guards."

Asura asked, "When did this happened?"

Chrysalis answered, "About 2 years ago."

Asura said, "I will see if I can find that bastard and his goons. In the mean time, I can give you a good news."

Chrysalis asked, "What's the good news?"

Asura said, "You don't have to worry about your daughter any more. I will be able to heal all of her injuries."

Chrysalis immediately look at him in disbelief. She said, "You can heal her? But not even my doctors and magic could fully heal her? How can you be so sure that you can heal her completely."

Asura smiled and grabbed his left arm with his right hand. Then in front of Chrysalis, her guards and Cadance, he did the unthinkable. Asura *Keerrriiippp* ripped off his entire left arm with his right hand. The others screamed in horror as they saw him ripping off of his left arm like it was nothing. Then to their surprise, they saw several small red tentacles coming out of his left stump and began to form bones, muscles, veins and finally the skin. They watch as his left arm was fully regenerated in front of them.

Asura moved his left arm and showed them it was okay. He then absorbed his sever left arm. Tentacles sprouted from his legs and absorbed all the blood that was sprayed from his left stump and onto the ground. After a few seconds, there was no trace of blood in the room. They all look at him with wide eyes and jaws agape.

Asura said, "One of my special ability is that I can manipulate my flesh however I want to. I can also heal others with this. I can even cure diseases and viruses from others. With this, I can give back sever limbs to others."

Chrysalis came out of her shock and asked with hope, "Can my daughter be saved?"

Asura nodded and said, "Of course. I can completely heal her and also take away her scars."

Chrysalis didn't know how to thank him. First he didn't treated them like monsters. Then he gave them a source of food. Then a friendly relationship with Equestria and now, he was even going to heal her injured daughter. She hugged him and cried into his chest while saying 'thank you' several times. Asura hugged her softly and rub her back.

After crying for a while, Chrysalis calm down. She said, "Thank you so much Asura. I would really want to see my daughter walk and talk normally. I don't know how I could ever repay you for what you are doing."

Asura dismissed it with a wave of his hand and said, "Its okay. No need to thank me. I do this all the time with others."

Chrysalis smiled at him. Cadance said, "Chrysalis. I am so sorry for what the royal guards did to your daughter. I promise that I will aid Asura in catching the culprit and bring them to justice. And I also forgive you of what you did."

Chrysalis eyes widen at that. She then smiled and said, "Thank you so much Cadance."

They all began to talk normally with each others. During conversation, Chrysalis said, "Cadance. Are you really going to marry Shining Armor?"

Cadance said, "Of course. He and I been friends for a long time. I met him when I started foalsitting Twilight."

Chrysalis said, "I don't think you should be marrying someone like him."

Cadance narrowed her eyes at her and said, "What do you mean someone like him?"

Chrysalis said, "Cadance. Since you became my friend, I will tell you this. Shining armor is not who you think he is."

Cadance asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Chrysalis asked, "How does he acts around you?"

Cadance said with a smile, "He treats me like a flower and makes me laugh. He is kind to others and help them whenever they needed help."

Chrysalis asked, "Then have you seen him acting when he is not around you?"

Cadance shook her head and said, "No, I didn't. Why?"

Chrysalis said, "Cadance. He treats others like they are dirt beneath his hooves."

Cadance gasped and said, "No! He doesn't act like that! He is nothing like Blueblood!"

Chrysalis said, "He calls Earth ponies as mud ponies. That they should stay where they should be, in the mud. He treats the Pegasus no differently than the Earth ponies. The only ponies he gets along are Unicorns."

Cadance was shock to hear that. She said, "But ... but he loves me and I love him."

Chrysalis said, "His love for you is genuine but ask yourself this. Would he had love you if you weren't an alicorn or a unicorn? What if you were and Earth pony or a Pegasus, then what? Would he still have loved you? I don't think so since he consider them to be lower than him. He thinks that the unicorn and alicorns are the superior race as they can use magic and such."

Cadance though about it but refused to believe it. She opened her mouth to say something but Asura beat her to it. He said, "You should believer what she is saying Cadance."

Cadance look at him with eyes full of disbelief. She said,"Asura. Even you are.."

Asura said, "It is true that Shining Armor look down on those who are not unicorns or alicorns. You should know that ever since he first saw me, he had done nothing but get in my way and belittle me. Calling me a monster, a threat and want to banish me and such. Did you know that at the end of our duel, he tried to kill me in front of the princesses?"

Cadance gasped and said, "But he ..."

Asura nodded and said, "He did. Later, when Discord appeared, several guards were severely wounded by him. After I beat the crap out of Discord, the girls managed to seal him back into his stone prison. Then I came here to heal the wounded guards but Shining Armor stood in my path and refused to allow me to heal the guards. It was thanks to Silver Streak who confronted him about this. If he didn't, then I would have beaten him severly."

Cadance felt like he was talking about someone else. Shining Armor could never do those thing. Could he?

Asura continued, "When I had permission from the princesses to select members for my own squad, Shining Armor still got in my way. Again Silver Streak confronted him and Shining Armor was about to attack him but Silver Streak gave him a warning which made him stop in his track. After that, I selected the members for my squad. When Shining Armor saw who I picked, he belittle them in front of everyone, saying that they were the weaker bunch of the guards and he was thinking about expelling them. When the members of my squad heard what he said about them, they are accepted to joining my squad. This made him mad and threaten to arrest them for leaving the services of the princesses. At that time, I really wanted to smash his pathetic face in but Silver Streak save him by confronting him."

Asura look at Cadance and saw that she had a worry face. He said, "I'm not saying that you shouldn't marry him Cadance. I'm saying that you should think about the safety of you and your child."

Cadance asked, "What do you mean my safety and my child?"

Asura said, "What if the child that you give birth to is not a unicorn or an alicorn? What if you child is an Earth pony or a Pegasus?"

Cadance said, "He will love them. They will be his children too."

Asura shook his head and said, "Cadance. I know a lot of people like Shining Armor. And let me tell you that they will not hesitate to hurt you and your child. He will see your child like an imperfect being, a plague and will do hurtful things to them. He will also abuse you if you ever go against his wishes."

Cadance look down as she began to process about what he told her. If Shining Armor is indeed what he is as they say, then her children are in danger. If she goes against him, then there is a chance that he will hurt and abuse her and her child.

Cadance look at Asura and said, "I ... I don't know what to do. What you told me is the exact opposite of what Shining Armor is. I have loved Shining Armor for a long time and I don't think I can leave him just like that. What should I do? Please tell me."

Asura petted her head and said, "You may be thinking that we are trying to stop you from marrying Shining Armor by telling lies but we aren't. We are just looking out for you and your child's safety. As for what you can do? Why don't you go on with the wedding and marry him. When you will spend time with him, you will began to see what his true color is. Just promise me one thing Cadance."

Cadance look at him with worry eyes and asked, "Yes?"

Asura said, "If you are ever pushed into a corner or about to be hurt by Shining Armor, then come to me. Run as fast as your legs can carry you away from him. Come to me and I will protect you. Then I will see what I can do with him. Promise me this Cadance. I don't want to see you get hurt."

Cadance felt an aura coming from him. It felt like an aura of protection to her. She smiled and said, "I promise you Asura, that should that happen, I will immediately come to you. In fact I Pinkie promise. Close my eyes and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye-ouch!" She did the Pinkie promise and accidentally poke on of her eyes in the end.

They all laugh at that. Asura then said, "Well, its getting late so why don't we go to our rooms and sleep?"

The others agreed and when they were about to leave, Asura said, "Oh and Chrysalis. In the morning, we may need to tell the girls about all of this. Especially Twilight since she has been suspecting of you being fake."

Chrysalis blush a bit and said, "Well, I really should have done my homework on Cadance's behavior. Do you think she would forgive me for what I did?"

Asura nodded and said, "Of course she would. Me and Cadance will also be there to explain all of that. So you have nothing to worry about."

Chrysalis smiled and said, "Thank you Asura. For everything."

They all left Cadance room and went towards their sleeping quarters. Asura went towards his and slept for the night.

Next Day

Asura woke up from his sleep and got out of his bed. He got ready for the day as today was the wedding day. But first, he needs to tell the girls about Chrysalis. He first went outside his room and towards Cadance's room. He knocked on the door and waited.

The door was opened by Cadance who smiled when she saw that it was him. She hugged him and said, "Good morning Asura."

Asura was taken back by this but greeted her as well, "Good morning to you too. You seem happy. Why is that?"

Cadance said, "I'm just so happy. Today I get to marry the one I love."

Asura gave a soft smile and said, "I am happy for you too Cadance. Just remember your promise okay?"

Cadance frown a bit but nodded. She still could not believe that Shining Armor was like that. Asura only thought about her safety from that bastard. Guess when the time comes, he will deal with Shining Armor.

Asura entered Cadance room and saw Chrysalis there. Chrysalis smiled and greeted him and Asura greeted her.

Asura asked, "So shall we head towards the girls room?"

Cadance and Chrysalis nodded and went with him towards the girl's room. When they reached, Asura said, "Wait here you two. Let me first go in and explain to a bit about Chrysalis." They both nodded.

Asura knocked on the door and Pinkie said, "Come in! Its opened!"

Asura went in and meet his herd mates. They all hugged and kiss him. Twilight said, "Asura. Its good that you are here. You have to believe me when I say that something is wrong with Cadance. I think she is an imposter."

Asura scratched her ear to calm her and said, "Twilight. Its okay. I know about that already."

Twilight asked, "You do?"

Asura said, "That is why I came here to tell you all about it. But first you need to remain calm about what I am about to tell you."

The girls nodded and Asura told them about Cadance being Chrysalis and what species they are. What were their reason of impersonating her? What he did for them? He told them everything. Even about the attack on Chrysalis's daughter. The girls understood why she did it and gasped in horror about the injuries inflicted on Insectum by the royal guards.

Fluttershy asked, "Is she okay?"

Asura said, "She is alive Fluttershy. Later, I am going to visit Chrysalis and heal her daughter."

Fluttershy smiled and happily hugged him. Asura also told them that Chrysalis and her species are now allies of Equestria.

Twilight eyes widen at that and said, "A new specie? Can I meet her? I would love to study her and make many bundles of new information."

Asura chuckled at her adorkable and petted her her head. He said, "You will need to ask her yourself." He then look back at the door and said, "You both can come in now!"

The door opened and came in Cadance and ..... another Cadance. The girls were shocked to see a duplicate of Cadance.

One Cadance said, "So girls?"

The other Cadance said, "Can you tell which one of us is the real one?"

The girls look from one Cadance to the other Cadance several times. They tried to look closely at their bodies but still they could not figure it out. They eventually gave up.

One Cadance said, "Giving up already?" The girls nodded.

The other Cadance look at Asura and said, "Can you tell which one of us is the real Cadance?"

Asura smirked and walk closer to them. He brought his face closer to theirs which made them blush. He then sniff at them. He pulled his head back and smiled at them.

Asura pointed towards the first Cadance and said, "You are the real Cadance."

He then pointed towards the second Cadance and said, "You are Chrysalis."

The fake Cadance smiled and then her body was covered in green flames which made the girls gasped. After the green fire subsided, the girls were shocked to see a pony that had some insect like features. They just kept on staring at Chrysalis in silence which made her uncomfortable.

Asura saw this and said, "Girls. I would like you to meet Chrysalis. She is the queen of her subjects."

The girls came out of their shock and began to introduce themselves. After the introduction, they all talk with each other. Twilight wanted to study her as she had this mad scientist aura coming from her. Chrysalis agreed to be studied by her which made her happy. The other girls also talk with her about various things. This way, time pass by until it was time for the wedding.

Cadance said, "Well, I am going to get ready for my wedding. I'll see you all later." She left the room.

Chrysalis said, "So when will you introduce me to the princesses?"

Asura said, "After the wedding is done, I will take you to them."

So they all went to attend the wedding. Chrysalis took the disguise of another pony and joined them. At the wedding, Cadance was dressed in a white gown that made her look beautiful. She and Shining Armor were standing in the center of the room. The CMC were the flower girls and Spike held the rings. Princesses Celestia and Luna were there to look over the wedding.

Princess Celestia said, "Mares and gentlecolts, we are gathered here today to celebrate the union of the real Princess Mi Amore Cadenza–"

Princess Cadance interrupted her and said, "Princess Cadance is fine."

Princess Celestia nodded and continued, "Hm. The union of Princess Cadance and Shining Armor. The strength of their commitment is clear. The power of their love, undeniable. May we have the rings please?"

Spike brought them their wedding rings which Cadance and Shining Armor wore. Princess Celestia and Luna said, "I now pronounce you mare and colt!"

Shining Armor and Princess Cadance both kissed and the crowd began to cheer and throw a lot of flowers at them.

While Shining Armor and Princess Cadance were kissing, Princess Celestia whispered to Rainbow, "Rainbow Dash, that's your cue."

Rainbow nodded and flew out from the room and into the sky. She flew with such speed that she was able to break the sound barrier which made a rainbow colored circle to spread in all direction. She did a sonic rainboom.

Rainbow did an air fist and said, "Best... wedding... ever! If only it were with Asura and not Shining Armor." She whispered the last part to herself.

After having some conversation and fun with the wedding, Asura, the girls and the disguised Chrysalis went into the throne room. There they meet with the princesses.

Luna said, "Guards. Please leave us."

The guards nodded and left the throne room. When they were alone, the princesses happily hugged Asura.

Celestia said, "So Asura. Have you dealt with the threat?"

Asura said, "I deal with it and I have good new."

Luna said, "Really? What is it?"

Asura said, "I have got Equestria a new ally and friend." He look at the disguised Chrysalis and motioned her to come closer to him.

Chrysalis came near Asura in her disguise. The princesses look at her and Celestia asked, "Who is this Asura?"

Asura said, "Celestia. Luna. Allow me to introduce Chrysalis, queen of the Changelings."

Chrysalis then burst into green flames which made the princesses gasp and took a step back. When the flame subsided, Chrysalis was standing there in her true form.

Chrysalis said, "Greetings princesses. Its very nice to finally meet you two."

The princesses look at her in shock and surprise. Then they smiled and greeted her.

Celestia said, "Greetings Queen Chrysalis. I am princesses Celestia, goddess of the sun."

Luna said,"And I am princesses Luna, goddess of the moon."

Celestia asked, "Which kingdom do you hail from?"

Chrysalis said, "My kingdom is in the badlands."

The princesses were shocked to heat that. Luna asked, "Why do your kinds live there?"

Chrysalis said, "Princesses. You have already seen what my kinds look like. When others sees us, they either panic and run away or try to attack us. That is why we live there so that no one can hurt us."

Celestia frowned and said, "I am so sorry to hear that Chrysalis but rest assure that me and my sister welcome you to Equestria with open arms."

Chrysalis smiled and said, "Thank you princesses and I'm also sorry for what I did."

The princesses became confused and Luna asked, "What are you sorry about?"

Asura then explained to the princesses the reason for Chrysalis presence in Canterlot. The princesses were first shock and then became sad when they found that their royal guards attack her daughter who was under a white flag.

Luna said in anger, "How dare they attack someone like that! A child no less!"

Celestia said, "I am really sorry about what happened to your daughter Chrysalis. I promise that we will find the one responsible for the attack and severely punish them."

Chrysalis smiled and said, "Thank you princesses. Asura and Cadance also promised to catch the culprit. He will also be visiting my kingdom in order to heal my daughter."

The princesses became happy that Asura will be able to save her daughter's life. When everything was going fine, the door to the throne room opened and came in the last pony he wanted to see. Shining Armor.

Shining Armor came into the throne room and said, "Twily? I have been looking for you all over the castle."

When he saw Asura, he scowled but when his eyes were on Chrysalis, he yelled in shock, "What the heck is that thing!?"

The girls glared at him and Twilight said, "Shining!"

Shining Armor said, "What!? Just look at that thing! Its hideous!"

Tears formed in Chrysalis's eyes. When Asura saw this, his blood boiled with rage. He turn towards the bastard and said, "She is queen Chrysalis of the Changelings and her species are Equestria's new ally. You will respect her and refrain from acting like that again."

Shining Armor scowled and said, "How dare you talk to me like that? I am not the captain of the guards anymore. I am now a prince!"

Asura said, "So what?"

Shining Armor said, "It meant that I am in a higher position than you are. I can now have you arrested and throw you into the dungeon. After that, I will deal with this thing you called Chrysalis. I think I will have her executed publicly."

The girls and princesses were horrified to hear that. They knew he was like that but this is worse.

Shining Armor grinned and said, "Now where are the guards so I can-mmmph!?" He could not finish his sentence as he found his mouth grabbed by something and being lifted above the ground. He look down and saw that it was the alien who grabbed him.

Asura glared the bastard with his right hand and said, "Let me tell you some thing Prince." He said with distaste and continued, "If Blueblood couldn't even have me arrested, then how could you? Blueblood is nothing more than a spoiled brat who look down on those who are lower in status to him but you. You on the other hand look down on those who are not ponies at all. No scratch that. You even look down on your kinds as well. You see Pegasus and Earth ponies as lesser beings because they are unable to use magic. You think that Unicorns and alicorns are the superior race because they are able to us magic."

Everyone in the throne was shocked to find that Shining Armor was a spiciest. Twilight look at her brother with eyes full of disbelief. She could not believe that her brother would be like one of the nobles.

Asura said, "As for executing Chrysalis?" His grip on Shining Armor's face became harder that hurt him. Her spoke in a demonic voice, "You dare try to kill someone just for looking different!?"

Asura lifted Shining Armor above his head with his right hand and then *Crash* slammed his head into the floor. Shining Armor was slammed into the floor on his back. Several cracks formed on the floor. Shining Armor groan in pain and then felt something slam into his chest. He look up and saw that the alien had his right leg on his chest.

Asura look down at Shining Armor in disgust and said, "If you thought that marrying Cadance will give you power over me, then you are sorely mistaken. I'm feeling sorry for her that such a sweet mare like her is marrying someone like you. Disgusting. She could have find someone even better than you but she didn't." He then kick Shining Armor in his gut that launched him towards *Crash* a wall. Shining Armor fell on the floor in pain. He laid there as some of his bones were broken.

Asura walk towards Shining Armor and *Crash* slammed his right foot on his head that pinned him onto the floor. He said, "Did you really think someone like you can control and hurt me?" He pressed his foot and began to crush Shining Armor's head slowly which made him scream in pain. After crushing his head for a few seconds, he stopped.

Asura said, "Don't ever think I can't kill you Shining Armor. The only reason I am even letting you live is because you are Twilight's brother and a husband to Cadance. If you weren't, then I would have killed you on the first day when you tried to kill me."

Asura then leaned his head closer to Shining Armor's head and said, "You will never have power over me. NEVER!" He then pulled his head back and walk away from Shining Armor who pathetically laid there on the floor.

Asura then said, "Also, Celestia. Luna. When you will reveal Equestria's new ally and friend, tell them this. The entire Changelings species are under my protection. Anyone dares to hurt a single hair on them will be deal by me. I don't care if its a noble or a prince. They harm the Changelings in any way, then I will hunt them down like an animal and kill them. No. I will mutilate and torture them first. Then I will kill them."

Everyone and Chrysalis were surprised to hear him say that. She smile at him that even after all the things he did for her, he still does more.

Celestia said, "Asura. Isn't that to much? I know that nobles can be a bit-"

Asura said, "Racist?"

Celestia pulled her head back at that word and said, "I was going to say rude and unkind but if that's how you put it ... Anyway, as I was saying, I mean that what you are doing is too much."

Asura said, "Celestia. I know what I'm doing. You yourself know how the nobles look at others who are different from them. My way is simply telling them that they will face me if they even think about hurting the Changelings. Their fear of me will prevent them for harming the Changelings."

Luna nodded and said, "I understand what your saying Asura. If Celestia and I simply reveal the Changeling to the world, many will harm them for what they look like. Your way will not only stop from anyone to harm the Changelings but will also keep them safe."

Celestia said, "If you put it that way, then I agree with your method Asura."

Asura smiled and said, "Thank you Celestia, Luna."

Celestia said, "No. It should be us who needs to thank you Asura."

Luna said, "You not only protected our ponies but also gave Equestria an ally and friend."

Asura said, "Don't forget the deer kingdom and the Minotaur kingdom. They have also become Equestria's ally."

The princesses and the girls eyes widen at that. Celestia asked, "When did that happened?"

Asura said, "For the deer kingdom, when I went there, I freed the females and killed the king. So they will probably follow me as they tried to make me their kings which I have avoided for the moment. I still have to find some sort of solution for that. As for the Minotaur Kingdom, I save their city from an army of monsters that was being lead by King Iron Hoof's brother. Iron Hoof thanked me and agreed to be Equestria's ally. He probably wanted to thank me for saving his beloved kingdom."

Everyone was shocked and surprised to hear that two more kingdoms have become allies of Equestria. They were first neutral kingdoms but now, thanks to Asura, they have become their allies and friends.

Celestia smiled and said, "That is an indeed great news."

Suddenly the door to the throne room opened and came in a guard with a panic face. He said, "Princesses! Canterlot is being invaded by an army of monsters!"

Silence reign the air when everyone heard that. The princesses began to panic as she starts ordering for all the guards to arm themselves. Chrysalis also began to panic as her changelings were present in the city disguised as a pony. The girls were also panicking about Canterlot being attacked by an army of monsters.

During their panic, Asura heard Twilight saying that her parents live here. That was all he needed to hear to get his blood boiling. Also, from the outside he heard the voice of someone precious to him. Immediately he bend down and jumped *Crash* through the room's ceiling and out side. Everyone stop their panic and look up at the hole in the ceiling. They realized that he was going in for the attack and they quickly left the room to see what he was going to do.

When Twilight was about to leave, she stop and looked at her brother laying on the floor in pain. She could have said "You deserve it" but she didn't because he was her big brother who she looked up to when she was a filly. However, after finding out his true colors, she was sad and disgusted by him. To think that she is related to someone like him.

Twilight took a breath and told a nearby guard, "Please take my brother to the infirmary." With that she left the throne room.

The guard was shocked to see that their captain was laying on the ground beaten and bruised. The guard came to him and lifted him up, however, Shining Armor pushed the guard away and limped out of the throne room all by himself. He left the room with a scowl on his face. He bitterly thought that he would make the alien pay for this.

Canterlot

The city's nobles were walking through the streets and minding their own business like finding out dirty secrets about others nobles, when all of a sudden *Thud* echoed that stopped everyone right in their tracks. They look around to find the source of that sound when *Thud* they heard it again. After listening to the sound, they realized where it was coming from and look at the city's gate. Some huge stomping sound came from the other side of the wall which indicated that something huge was coming towards the wall.

All of a sudden, *Crash* the city's gate was destroyed which shocked the nearby nobles and guards. When the dust settled, everyone was horrified to see an army of monsters standing at the destroyed gate. Then like a flood, the monsters began to enter the city. A huge amount of different kinds of monsters rushed in through the gate. Some monsters climbed up the wall while others flew above it.

When the nearby nobles saw the monsters entering the city, they immediately began to run towards the castle where the princesses were. The nobles who weren't aware of the monsters presence were simply standing there and see what the commotion was about. However, when they were informed bu the running nobles that a horde of monsters are attacking the city, they immediately joined them and ran away. They were running there so that the princesses could protect them.

The guards who were near the destroyed gate, immediately attacked the monsters, but due to the sheer number of the monsters, the guards were killed in mere seconds. Several guards who were patrolling the city, ran towards the screams and saw the monsters. They too attacked the monsters but were killed by them.

When the monsters entered the city, they began to smash and destroy the shops, houses and building. Whatever stood in their path, they destroyed it. They all march through the city while destroying anything that stood in their paths. They were marching towards the castle where the nobles were running to.

There was a rush of nobles near the castle's gate as they tried to enter the castle but with the huge amount of nobles, they were pushing each others out of their ways so that they could enter the castle in order to save their lives. This made it impossible for them to enter through the gate. The nobles outside of the castle look at the approaching monsters and their panic took another level. They then tried to beat the other nobles and force their way inside the castle.

The monsters saw this and grinned maliciously. They then began to march towards the terrified nobles menacingly. This made the nobles scream in terror as they watch the monsters getting closer and closer to them by the second.

In the crowd of nobles were two unicorn fillies. They were the daughters of Ditzy. Sparkler held her little sister closer to her as she saw the monsters getting closer to them. Dinky had tears in her eyes. She look up to her big sister and asked, "What are we going to do?"

Sparkler just hugged Dinky and said with tears in her eyes, "Shhh. Just close your eyes. Every thing will be fine."

Dinky closed her eyes and hugged her big sister in fear. Both unicorn fillies held each other and waited for whats to come. Dinky prayed in a whisper, "Please. Someone save us .... daddy."

*CCCCRRRRRAAAAAASSSSSSHHHHH*

Dinky and Sparkler opened their eyes at the sound of something crashing through something solid. They look around and saw that the nobles, guards and even the monsters have stopped right in their tracks and were looking around for the source of that voice. They all saw that part of the castle's roof exploded like something rammed through it from the inside.

Then all of a sudden *THUD* *CRACK* a sound came from above. They all look above and their eyes went wide at what they saw. It was the human Asura. He landed on a tall building that cracked under his feet when he landed. And he looked pissed off. His arms, legs and chest's muscles were bulging with immense rage. His eyes turned red with rage as blood flowed into his eyes, making him terrifying to the onlookers. Especially the monsters.

Asura immediately search the crowd in search for the fillies. When he saw Dinky and Sparkle to be fine, his eyes soften and his body relaxed. However, it was for only one second that he relaxed and then suddenly, his muscles bulge again. He then look at the monsters in rage and hate.

Asura heard what Dinky and Sparkle said when they were frightened by the monsters. Especially Dinky. Her bastard of a father, Jewel Ring left her mother when she was pregnant with Dinky. She had to grow up without a father but got a new sister, Sparkler. Ditzy adopted Sparkler when her parents abandoned her and left her at the orphanage.

Those bastards!!! How dare they left their children like that! Just thinking about this, made his blood boil so much that hot white steam were coming out from his mouth. This only made him even more terrifying when he exhaled that everyone could hear that made their blood run cold, "Hhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

The princesses and the girls came out from the castle and were shocked and confused as to why everyone in including the monsters stopped. They also noticed that everyone was looking up. They look at what they were all looking at and their eyes went wide when they saw Asura in the state he was in. They began to worry about him as they thought that he would became the Red Goliath like last time when he was in such rage as he fought Discord.

Asura glared at the monsters which made them flinch under his piercing gaze. He then said in a demonic voice which the nobles would never be able to forget for as long as they live, "Don't get cocky. You lower life forms."
