Next Morning

Asura woke up when sunlight entered his room. He yawned and rubbed his eyes. Asura felt his body was fully healed but still felt some pain in his muscles. The pain will pass away after a while or he could have a good massage from Aloe and Lotus. Yeah. He will do that later.

Asura then look around and saw that the girls were still sleeping. Some were hugging their pillows while some hugged each others. Pinkie and Rarity were hugging him while Fluttershy was sleeping on top of him. She was hugging Fluffle Snow like a teddy bear. It was such a cute site for him. He bend down and gave a kiss to her forehead which made her smile. Now he needs to find a way to get out of this without waking up the girls.

Asura got and idea and used "Kamui" to make his body intangible. He slowly sunk into the bed and gently put pillows for Pinkie and Rarity to hug. He also gently laid Fluttershy down on the bed as his body phase through the bed. After that, he easily got out of bed and phase through the girls like a ghost. He then turned his body back into tangible and went to the bathroom to wash up. After getting ready for the day, he saw that the girls were still sleeping. He smiled and left the room by phasing through the door with his "Kamui".

Asura was feeling terrible pain from his muscles. Even his virus could not take away that pain. He scanned his body and found that due to overexerting himself in the last battle, a lot of burden was placed on his body. Also, using "Rage Fuel Recovery" twice was a really bad idea. If he didn't had his virus, then he would suffer from permanent damage. In the future, he will need to avoid using "Rage Fuel Recovery" twice. This skill must only be used once a day and he will be okay. However, with his current pain, that will last for a while before it goes away.

Then there was the incident of his Gourmet Demon taking over his body and becoming one with it. He found that transformation to be a surprise as in the show, only part of the body can be turned into a Devil form but it was different with him. Asura's entire body was transformed into a Gourmet Demon and became several times stronger but also put sever strain on his body. He needs to train in this area so that in the future he would be able to fully control his Gourmet Demon form. Also, can he transform into other Gourmet Demons as well? Maybe.

Asura walk through that hall way and found no guards or staff members. He then pass by the CMC room and heard them sleeping. Spike was sleeping in another room. He also walk past the princesses room and heard two sleeping sounds. Chrysalis and Cadance must have left, so only Celestia and Luna are sleeping. He then walk towards the castle's kitchen and saw that it was empty. It looks like Asura was the only one who woke up early in the morning. Which reminds him. How much the Gourmet Cells has been completed? He checked them and found them to be ... 5.84% complete!!????

Whats up with that? It was taking way longer to just get 1% done but now it was at least 6% completed? How? How can this be? Asura checked them and his virus informed him that due to devouring unique monsters like the monster's general Ziantos and the demon Asmodeus. These creatures are powerful being and hold some kind of unique energy that is compatible with his Gourmet Cells.

Really? The strong monsters and demons posses these unique energy that are compatible with the Gourmet Cells? He needs to confirm this. He still has the biomass from Karn The Destroyer, Beast Master and the first demon he killed, The Devourer. He found their biomass inside his body and inspected it. A while later, he found it. There was indeed some kind of unique energy they possessed. Karn and Beast possessed very little of this unique energy. However, the demon, The Devourer had five times than what Karn and Beast Master possessed.

As Asura was inspecting the energy, something strange happened. Asura's own Gourmet Cells began to activate against his will. Then all four of his Gourmet Demons manifested by themselves.

The Red Ogre said, "This ..."

Poison Devil said, "Energy ..."

Hair Monster said, "Taste ..."

Evil Voice Demon said, "Delicious ..."

Asura struggled with his Gourmet Demons for a while but then got them back under control. He was stunned to have something like this happen to him. The Gourmet Cells wanted this unique energy for themselves. They said that this unique energy tasted delicious. How can that be?

However Asura didn't let his Gourmet Demons have it. He isolated the unique energy inside his body with his virus that prevented his Gourmet Cells from taking it. He can't just give his Gourmet Cells this energy without knowing what it is and what it will do to him if his Gourmet Cells take the energy.

Asura inspected the unique energy and found it to be .... IMPOSSIBLE!!!! How can this be!! This must be a mistake or something!!!! Please let this be a mistake!!! Asura inspected the energy again and found the same result. He didn't want to believe it, so he inspected it again and again and again but the end result was the same. This unique energy is .... Gourmet Energy!!!

No. The correct way to say it is that this energy is very vvvveeeerrrrryyy closer to Gourmet Energy. This energy is 60% similar to Gourmet Energy while 40% of it was ..... Dark magic!!!! He immediately extracted the Gourmet Energy from them and ejected out all of the dark magic in the shape of a dark orb. He then cast a light base magic called "Purification" and destroyed the dark orb. After that he stored the extracted Gourmet Energy inside his body.

Now that is done ....... how in the hell did these monsters and demons managed to possess Gourmet Energy!!!??? This doesn't make any sense. He was the only one to posses Gourmet Cells which provides him with Gourmet Energy. However, the strong monsters and demons have this energy. He again inspected the biomass of the demons and discovered that they didn't even had any Gourmet Cells. So how could they have hold Gourmet Energy without any Gourmet Cells!!!!???

Asura took several breaths to calm himself down. At the moment he does not have the answer to his question. Maybe he'll find them in the future. For now, he needs to see what to do with the Gourmet Energy. Asura look at them and saw that there were three yellow orbs. Two were the size of a 1 cm ball while the third one was 5 cm ball. The two small orbs mus belong to Karn and Beast Master while the big one belong to The Devourer.

Asura was curious to see what the Gourmet Energy would do to him since his Gourmet Demons were begging him to let them have it. But first he needs to see how much stronger her got from that fight with the monsters and demon. He scan his body and found that his full power capacity has increased from 133% to .... 149%!!!

HOW!!!! This is too much from a single fight. Even pushing himself in his wounded state would not make him this much stronger. So how? Lets see what happened. Through his virus, he found that fighting the monsters and demon increased his power by 3%. During fighting the demon, when he activated his Rage Fuel Recovery, his Gourmet Cells evolved his body that increased his powers by 4%. Asura was evolved even further when his Gourmet Demon "Evil Voice Demon" took over his body, thus increasing his power by 5%.

Then when he absorbed the swarm of Fluffle Snow, who devoured every monsters and demon corpse, he also absorbed the Gourmet Energy in Ziantos and Asmodeus without knowing it. The Gourmet Energy from Ziantos was devoured by his Gourmet Cells which further increased his powers by 4%. So his power capacity has been increased by 149%. Wow. He already possess almost 50% more power than he originally had.

What happened to the Gourmet Energy that Asmodeus possessed? That energy went straight to the Gourmet Cells that he was preparing for the girls which is why they were completed by 5.84%. If he didn't devoured the demon, then it would take him at least a month or two to reach 5% completion.

However, why didn't the Gourmet Cells devoured the energy from Karn, Beast Master and The Devourer? At that time, he didn't created the Gourmet Cells for the girls. That is why, the energy was simply stored inside his body. But what about his Gourmet Demons? Why didn't they devoured it at that time? It seems that when the Gourmet energy from Asmodeus went straight into the girls Gourmet Cells, his Gourmet Demons noticed it and devoured Ziantos energy. However, they failed to notice the Gourmet Energy from Karn, Beast Master and The Devourer. That is a good thing thought. He can now see how much further his Gourmet Cells evolves.

Asura gave the Gourmet Energy of Beast Master to his Gourmet Cells which they devoured it in an instance. Then suddenly his muscles bulged and he could feel his strength increasing. Since the energy was small, his power increased by 2%. Asura then gave the Gourmet Energy from Karn to his Gourmet Cells and they devoured it. Since Karn was a bit stronger than Beast Master, his Gourmet Energy was a bit more than the other. So his power increased by 3%. This made his total powers increased from 149% to 154%.

Now what to do with the Gourmet Energy from the first demon, The Devourer. The demon's energy was at least 4-5 times bigger than Karn and Beast Master. He can either give this energy to his Gourmet Cells. Or he could give it to the Gourmet Cells that he has been making for the girls. Which one would he choose.

Lets see what are the benefits of his options. Option one: Give the Gourmet Energy to his Gourmet Cells. If Asura do this then he will become more stronger than before. He would be able to fight with more stronger demon at ease. However, with option two: Give the Gourmet Energy to the girls Gourmet Cells, it would increase the processes of making his modified Gourmet Cells for the girls faster than before. This way, he can make the girls stronger earlier in the future.

Ahhhhhhh! Which one would Asura choose. Both have benefits that are good but which one is the right one? After wracking his brain for a while, he got it. He will use one of the woulds most sophisticated method of choosing between the two options. Asura took a deep breath to relax himself. He raised his right hand, preparing to do an awesome skill that others have done before him. He extended his right index finger and

Wait For Dramatic Pause

"Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, catch a demon by the tail. If it hollers, rip it off, then pound it into a bloody pulp" said Asura as his finger landed on option No. 2. Banzai!!!

Asura said, "Hmm. Looks like option two it is. Who would have thought that there was such an easy method of choosing between two things. Its really an amazing skill."

So Asura gave the demon's Gourmet Energy to The girls Gourmet Cells. This competed their process from 5.84% to 7.49% in an instant. Good. So he can speed up the process by devouring the Gourmet Energy from powerful monsters and demons. Sounds great.

Now then, it time to limit his powers again. He pulled out his nails and plunged them into his pressure points of his body.

One in his left bicep 10%
One in his right bicep 10%
One in his left shoulder blade 10%
One in his right shoulder blade 10%
One in his neck 10%
One in his left kidney 10%
One in his right kidney 10%
One in his left lung 20%
One in his right lung 20%
One in his heart 34%

There. Now 144% of his total powers have been restrained, giving him access to only 10% of his strength. Okay, now that is done, discovering some shocking information, time to make some delicious breakfast. Asura went into the Castle's kitchen and started cooking breakfast for himself, the princesses, the girls, fillies and Spike.

Asura took all of the cooked food to the dining room and put them on the huge table. After that, he went towards the princesses and the girls rooms. He knocked on them and woke them up. Asura told them its morning and it was time to wake up. Everyone groaned but when he said that he had made them breakfast, all of them zoom towards the bathroom and got ready for the day. This made Asura chuckle at that.

Asura went back to the dining room and waited for everyone to come. A few minutes later, everyone came and greeted him. Fluffle Snow was being hugged by Fluttershy like a teddy bear and he liked it. They all sat around the table and began to eat. Those who had not eaten his food before, moaned in bliss when several flavors exploded in their mounts.

Mayor Mare, Fleetfoot, Spitfire and Red Heart were in a state of bliss. They had eaten his cooking before but those were only the picnic goodies. The food they were eating now was something even better that anything they have ever eaten before.

Mayor Mare asked, "Asura. Did you really made this food?

Asura said with a smile, "Yes I did. Do you like it?"

Mayor Mare said, "Like it? Its delicious!"

Fleetfoot said, "Yeah! Its even better than my cooking!"

Spitfire said, "And mine. I would have never known someone like you could cook Asura."

Redheart said, "Yeah. I think you might have just beat every mare at cooking."

Rarity said, "I don't think I can match your cooking Asura."

Applejack said, "I'm pretty sure whatever I make will fail in comparison to yours."

Pinkie said with a frown, "My cakes and sweets won't be as tasty as yours."

Ditzy said while looking down, "My muffins are no match for yours."

The others girls also spoke about how their cooking would not be up to Asura's cooking skills. Every girl and princesses were looking down as they would not be able to cook something that would be acceptable for their coltfriend. It was one of the females duty to make good food for their coltfriends. He sigh and think for an answer.

Asura look at the girls and said, "Girls. Back on my world, I have eaten numerous forms of delicious food. I have went to the wild and hunted fierce monsters and ate them. I have went to the most expensive restaurant on my planet and eaten all kinds of food there. I can even make my own food which would be delicious compared to them."

The girls became sad as they hear him say how he ate delicious food and can make them. They were beginning to think that they won't be able to satisfy his needs for food that taste good. However, that changed at what they heard next.

Asura said, "But! Compared to all of that, the food that will be made by your hands will be enough for me. All of the delicious food that I have eaten will be nothing compared to the food that you girls will make. Be it good or be it bad. To me your hand made food will be the most delicious I would have ever eaten."

All of the girls look back up to him with wide eyes and jaws agape. They knew that Asura was a great chief and thought that their cooking would not be appreciated by him. However, to say that he would not only eat their cooking but it would be delicious to him was something they could never have thought to hear from a male. Other males would simply say that the food is good or fine but for Asura to say something like this warm their hearts.

Asura said with a soft smile, "Did I travel to dangerous places that could very well killed me? Yes I did. Did I hunted down vicious monsters for their meat? Yes I did. Did I swam down to the deepest depth of the ocean where the sunlight could never reach, in order to find marine life to eat? Yes I did. Did I eat delicious food at expensive restaurant? Yes I did. Can I make delicious food on my own? Yes I can. However to me, having food cooked by a friend or a family member is more delicious than that. Also, if we all eat like this with each other, the food taste even better."

All the girls and princesses smiled and had tears in their eyes. They just couldn't believe to have met someone like him. A male who did not only protect them but also say such sweet things about them. A male who does not look down upon the females like a lesser being. A male who would show respect to the females.

Fluttershy and Rarity who were sitting besides him hugged him lovingly. Soon all of the other girls came towards him and hugged him lovingly. Even the princesses. After hugging for a while, they all went back to eating their food.

During eating, Mellow Hoof said, "Asura. Can I ask you something?"

Asura said with a smile, "Sure. What do you want to ask?"

Mellow Hoof asked, "What did you do when you fought the monsters?"

Asura tilted his head in confusion and said, "Sorry but you need to be more specific. I did a lot of things when I fought the monsters. So which one are you asking?"

Swift Tail said, "She was asking how were you able to make or multiply yourself? There were about 5000 to you out there."

Twilight said, "6000 to be correct. This is very fascinating that you could multiply yourself like that. Can you tell us how you did it and what is it called?"

Everyone, the fillies and Spike were looking at Asura with expectation. He smiled and said, "Of course. I'll tell you what I did but first."

Asura used "Sound Wall" to cover the entire room in it. The others look at him in confusion and he said, "This is to make sure none besides us hears what I am about to speak of. don't want this information to fall into the wrong hands." They all nodded in understanding.

Asura closed his eyes and think of how to explain it. After a while he opened his eyes and said, "Before I tell you, can you tell me something?" They all nodded and he asked, "Have you ever heard of what a Ninja is?"

All of them shook their heads as they didn't know what he was talking about. Well, almost. *Thud* Everyone look at the noise and saw that Rainbow's eyes were wide in disbelief and her jaw hit the table.

Applejack asked, "Rainbow. Are you okay?"

Rainbow shook her head and said, "Are you seriously saying that Ninja exist!?

The other girls look at her confusingly and Trixie asked, "You seem to know what a Ninja is. Care to tell us about it?"

Rainbow became excited and said, "It's one of the most amazing thing there is girls! A ninja is a warrior of the night that uses stealth against their enemies. A Ninja also uses the shadows to hide in. They are all silent mercenaries who are payed by kings to help them against their enemies. Their main weapon is usually a sword, knifes and throwing stars."

The girls were intrigue by her knowledge. Twilight asked, "How did you know this Rainbow? I have read several books and I didn't find anything like that anywhere."

Rainbow said proudly, "It was in one of my Daring Doo adventure books."

Twilight facepalm and said, "Rainbow. You know that is just a legend right? Its just fictional knowledge that Daring Doo must have found somewhere and decided to use it in one of her books."

Rainbow was shocked and said, "No way! Its real because Daring Doo put it in her book!"

Twilight shook her head and said, "Rainbow. Not everything in books are real."

Rainbow lower her head in sadness as she thought that her adventure book had fake information. Asura saw this and said, "Rainbow is not wrong Twilight."

Rainbow look up to him and said, "Really?"

Asura nodded and said, "Yes. In fact there are some info that you don't know about Ninja."

Twilight said, "Wait Asura. Are you saying that Ninjas are real and what Rainbow said is true.

Asura nodded. Rainbow did an air fist and pointed at Twilight. She said, "Hah! In your face egg head! I knew Daring Doo adventures book have real info!"

Twilight pouted cutely which made Asura chuckled. He said, "Its all right Twilight. You just need to open your mind to other things. Now, what Rainbow said about what a Ninja is true. They are a group of people who have been specially trained in the art of spies and mercenaries. Their specialty included espionage, scout, sabotage, infiltration, assassination and guerrilla warfare. In the past, If a ruler is have trouble against another nation, the Ninjas will provide their skills for money. They would go to an enemy nation and will blend in with the inhabitants and act like normal peoples. During their stay, they would gather info about the nation's military, defense and soldiers etc and give it to their employer. If a war can be stopped by just killing an important person, then the ninjas would skillfully assassinate that person without leaving any evidence."

The girls were very intrigue by these Ninjas and gasped about the assassination skill. Asura continued, "There was a time where there were several small villages that trained Ninjas and each and every one of the villages had a different element of their Jutsu."

Fluttershy asked, "Excuse me. What is a Jutsu if you don't mind me asking?"

Asura said with a smile, "Of course not Fluttershy. Jutsu is a kind of skill that only Ninjas can do. They can be either used for defense or offense. Jutsu is categorized into three classes. Ninjutsu, Genjutsu and Tijutsu. Ninjutsu is the art of using elementals in their attack. For example."

Asura stood up from his seat and moved away from the table and said, "In order to do a Ninjutsu skill, you first need to know what your element is. There are 5 types of elements the Ninjas use. Earth, wind, fire, water, and lightning." Asura snap his finger and an image appeared which showed everyone the elements.

Asura said, "Your element could either be one of these. After you find what your main element is, you can train in that area. When using a Ninjutsu, the ninja will need to use their chakra."

Celestia asked, "What is chakra?"

Asura think about how to explain it and said, "In order to explain this, I will first need to tell about its origin. In an ancient time, long before the monsters appeared, where every human were weak and lived a normal life. In that time, there were several wars against other nations. There were several incurable diseases and famine. Most people were dying of starvation and diseases. The land was scorched from several wars but no matter how much the land was damaged, there was one enormous tree that stood out from the rest that refused to fall. In fact, it was so enormous that rumors has it that its height was able to reach beyond the planets atmosphere. This tree was named the God Tree as it stood tall from all of the devastation and destruction from the war. What was so special about this tree? The tree, in its entire life span, bore one and only one fruit. Now this fruit was no ordinary fruit. It was one of a kind. It was so special that no amount of money could buy it."

Redheart asked, "What's was so special about this fruit?"

Zecora said, "If a mighty tree bore only one fruit in its entire life span then that fruit must indeed be special. Am I right?"

Asura nodded and said, "Yes. You are indeed right Zecora. What's so special about this fruit is that it was filled with a form of new energy that was not seen by anyone else. In that time, there was a princess named Kaguya Ōtsutsuki who was the one who acquired this fruit.

Rarity said, "She is pretty. Such white skin. It makes her look beautiful." The other girls nodded.

Asura said, "When she ate the fruit, her body was enhanced by the energy and she was blessed with abilities that was considered to be God. She grew two horns and a third eye on her forehead."

Trixie asked, "What does her third eyes do?"

Asura said, "The third eyes gives her special powers. Kaguya named the new energy as chakra and became the first person in history to wield chakra. With her new-found power, she ended all the wars that plagued the lands and brought peace to the humans."

Luna said with a smile, "That is very kind of her to bring peace to her subjects."

Celestia nodded and said, "Indeed. If we were the ones in her position, then we would have done the same thing."

Spitfire asked, "What happened next?"

Asura said, "After peace was brought, the humans began to worship her as she was like a God to them. Later, she gave birth to two sons. The younger one was Hamura and the older one was Hagoromo. Since these two boys were born from the womb of a God, they were the first people to be born with chakra."

Fluttershy said, "Aw that's so sweet."

Celestia said, "That would be nice to have sons bearing the same powers as their mother."

Asura shook his head and said, "If only that was the case."

Everyone look at him in confusion. Luna asked, "What do you mean Asura? Did she not loved her sons?"

Asura said, "Kaguya was so happy and loved them with all of her heart. That was before she found that her sons possessed the same powers as her. As the years passed, the boys grow up and so their powers. When the boys discovered that they could do different things with their powers, they secretly trained themselves, away from anyone's eyes. Even from their mother. When they became masters of their chakra, they were unfortunately discovered by their mother and she was furious."

Rarity asked, "Why? Why would Kaguya be furious at her own sons? She should be happy that they possess the same powers as her."

Asura said, "Kaguya was furious because her chakra had been spread to others. She wanted that power to only belong her and her alone. She was jealous of her sons and out of rage, she tried to steal her son's chakra by force. The sons defended themselves from their enraged mother and were equal in power. Kaguya became mad and merged with the God Tree , transforming into a monster called the Ten-Tails."

Asura snap his finger and the girls gasped in horror when they saw a terrifying looking monster. The Ten-Tails.

Asura said, "This is what she became in order to steal back her powers from her sons. However, her sons were victorious and defeated her. Kaguya was then sealed within Hagoromo. Hamura and Hagoromo both knew that their mother was still alive and will be freed in the future. So in order to prevent her escape, Hagoromo divided her mother's chakra by creating 9 beasts. He extracted her mother's chakra from his body and created the beasts. Each of these beast had a different numbers of tails from 1-9. This displayed the beast's powers. The more tails the beast had, the more powerful it was. These beast were called Tail beasts."

Fleetfoot asked, "What would he used the beasts for?"

Asura said, "I will tell that later. After Hagoromo created the ninth beast, he needed to extract the Ten Tail beast. Since Kaguya chakra has been divided into 9 beasts, the Ten Tail beast was severely weakened. When it was extracted, it appeared in a different form which was a weaker form of the Ten Tail beast. It was the Ten-Tails' husk.

Asura continued, "Hagoromo then sealed the Ten-Tails' husk into the moon. That day, Hagoromo died because extracting her mother's chakra was killing him and when he extracted the last of her chakra, his was going to die eventually. So before his dying breath, he sealed the Ten-Tails' husk into the moon. However, before his dying breath, Hagoromo gave instruction to his younger brother. Hamura and the rest of the clan followed his instruction and left their home planet Earth and went to the moon. They did this in order to guard his mother's sealed remains. Hagoromo also instructed his brother to wait for a full millennium and observe mankind. Eventually as time passed, Hamura died as well along with his clan."

Everyone lowered their heads in sadness. The story made their heart ache and tears fell from their eyes. Rarity said, "Oh what a tragic story about a mother and her two sons."

Celestia said, "That was a very sad story indeed."

Luna said, "Who would try to do that to their own sons?"

Rainbow said, "Not cool. A mother should never harm their own foals."

Applejack said, "Why that no good. I would have given her a buck to her head. That's not how a family should stay."

Twilight said, "History that show tragic lives. How did you know of this history if its so ancient?"

Asura sigh and said, "I found a couple of scrolls from an ancient buried temple of sort. That is where I found the ancient history. Or at least what was written on them."

Twilight asked, "What do you mean? Are you saying what I think you are saying?"

Rainbow asked, "Hey! Egg head! What are you taking about?"

Twilight said, "What I am talking about is that the history that was written on those scrolls were fake or a cover up story in hiding the truth. Is that right Asura?"

Asura said, "Yes you are right. The history was fake in order to hide the truth. In fact, it was much worse."

Celestia asked, "Then what is the true story?"

Asura said, "Kaguya never did hated her sons. In fact she trained her sons herself and made them stronger. The true story is that they all were living normally, like a ruler and her sons. However, Hamura and his brother Hagoromo lived in ignorance of their mother's true amoral nature. Under the rule of Kaguya, their homeland continued to prosper. However, there were some people who would disappear without a trace. Many people tried to investigate the source of their disappearance but couldn't find anything."

Ditzy asked, "What happened to them?"

Asura said, "It was bad Ditzy. Something really bad. One day, the two brothers were approached by a Great Toad Sage, Gamamaru. He is the oldest and most respected toad of all the inhabitants of Mount Myōboku. He is famed for his highly accurate prophecies. Due to him being very old, the other toads affectionately call him Great Honorable Geezer."

This made everyone laugh at that. Rainbow said, "Geezer? Are you serious? Pfff. Bwhahahaha!"

After every laugh for a while, they calm down. Then Asura continued, "Gamamaru told them that beyond the peak of the nearby mountains lye the truth. The brothers didn't take him seriously and ignored the toad's words. As time passed by, more people disappeared. No one was able to find the cause of it. In that time, Hagoromo came to care for a local girl."

Rarity said, "Aww. Young love." The other girls liked that but Rainbow and Scootaloo gagged at that. However, their joy turned to horror at what they heard next.

Asura said, "One day, the girl who Hagoromo began to care about disappeared without a trace. He searched for her but couldn't find any clue of sort. For days he searched for her. Even his brother joined him in his search but of no avail. Hagoromo was distressed from this. He wanted to know what happened and where could she had been disappeared to? Then he remembered what the Toad Sage told him. The brothers then went beyond the peak of the nearby mountains and found the horrible truth."

Luna asked in a worried tone, "What was it?"

Asura sigh and said, "It was a sacred Ritual for the God Tree. In this ritual, life is sacrificed in order for the God Tree to bear another fruit. The sacrifice were the people that disappeared and the one responsible was none other than Kaguya."

Everyone gasped at the horrifying truth. How could a ruler do that to her own subjects. The princesses were disgusted by Kaguya's act. They would never hurt their subjects or use their lives like that.

Asura continued, "When the brothers found out that the people were being used as part of the ritual, they confronted their mother about ending the rituals. However, she dismissed their concern by simply saying that it was necessary for 'the others' arrival'."

Mayor Mare asked, "What did she means by 'the others' arrival'?"

Asura said, "After I searched for more info, I came to the conclusion. Kaguya was an alien who came to Earth in order to eat the fruit."

Everyone were shocked to hear that. Scootaloo asked, "How could she be an alien? She looks the same as you humans right?"

Asura shook his head and said, "No Scootaloo. Kaguya was not a human. There were several hints that pointed towards her being an alien. One was her pure white skin. You won't find any human who has that much pure white skin. Two, her eyes were white as well which is completely different from the humans of that era. Three, when she came to power, she didn't rule the kingdom but enslaved every human on the planet."

Everyone gasped in horror at that. They despise slavery and know the feeling from being a prize in the tournament.

Fluttershy asked, "Why w-would she do that? What did t-the h-humans ever d-do to her?"

Asura said, "Nothing. The humans did nothing to her. In fact, when she arrived on Earth, the humans welcomed her with opened arms. The humans were mesmerized by her divine looks and thought her to be a goddess. And how does she repays them? By enslaving everyone on the planet."

Rarity covered her mouth in horror and said, "That horrible."

Zecora said, "To repay someone's kindness with slavery? If she was back at my home, then she would have been put in the dungeons for the rest of her life."

Applejack said, "Asura. What did she meant when she said the 'the others' arrival'?"

Asura said, "There were more like Kaguya who were coming to Earth for the fruit. She was the one who reached the planet first and gained powers from the fruit but it wasn't enough. She was greedy and wanted another fruit to further increase her power but the God Tree would take a really long time to bear another fruit. So she decided to speed up the process by sacrificing humans life to the God Tree."

Everyone were starting to hate Kaguya for her vile actions. Celestia asked, "What happened next?"

Asura said, "The brothers wanted to stop the ritual but were not strong enough to stop their mother. So they both went to the Great Toad Sage for help. He revealed to them their mother's history of coming to Earth and using the God Tree's fruit to gain great power and enslave the humans with her powers, including the brothers father."

Asura decided to not tell them about the world conquering technique "Infinite Tsukuyomi". He said, "Hagoromo began to train under training under Gamamaru in Senjutsu which I will tell about it later. While the older brother was busy in training, the younger brother went back home so that their mother would not be suspicious of their rebellion. However, Kaguya soon caught on to her sons' scheme of rebelling against her. She then confronted her son Hamura and captured him. She used her powers to brainwash him for future plans."

Applejack said with anger, "How could she do that to her own child! Going far to even enslaving her sons own father!"

Asura said, "That's just how she was Applejack. A mother who didn't cared about anyone but herself. After Hagoromo completed his training, he become much more stronger than before along with new skills. He then returned to face his mother but saw that she had his brother under his control. Kaguya then told Hamura to fight Hagoromo. The brothers fought one another but Hagoromo was stronger. He needed his brother by his side in order to face Kaguya. So in a desperate attempt to free his brother's mind, he chose to strike down his brother. This freed his mind from Kaguya's control but was heavily injured. Hagoromo then healed Hamura with a special seal tag given by the Great Toad Sage."

The girls cheered as they heard the good news. Asura continued with his story, "Now that both Hamura and Hagoromo were fighting against their mother, Kaguya became mad and fused with the God Tree and transformed into the Ten-Tails. She then tried to forcibly reclaim her chakra from her sons but in the end, she lost. Hagoromo and Hamura succeeded in defeating and sealing her. Hagoromo then created the tailed beasts from the Ten-Tails' chakra and decided to stay and watch over the world, while Hamura decided to go on the moon and watch over their mother. Hamura eventually passed away in bed, surrounded by his clan."

Everyone were happy that Kaguya was defeated but became sad as they heard how the younger brother passed away in his sleep.

Twilight said, "That's so sad. To find his younger brother passed away on his bed. What happened to the older brother?"

Asura said, "Hagoromo became the watcher of Earth, He took on the title of Sage of Six Paths. He spread chakra to the humans so that they would be able to defend themselves. His wish was to create peace by using the chakra to connect people's spiritual energy so that they would understand one another without even talking."

Everyone smiled at that but soon turned to a frown at what they heard next. Asura continued, "However, the people did not use chakra in the way Hagoromo hoped. The people instead of using chakra to connect their inner spiritual and physical energies, they kneaded their inner chakra to amplify and weaponize it, creating what is now known as Ninjutsu."

Asura look at the girls and saw how they had a look of sadness. Celestia said, "After all that, with Hagoromo good intention, things still turn out bad in the end."

Asura sigh and said, "It was not the humans fault. It was actually Hagoromo fault. He should have known this and select few people but instead he gave everyone chakra."

Luna said, "Why would he give chakra to only few of them?"

Asura look at the princesses and asked, "Can you give me an honest answer?"

The princesses looked at each other and then look back at him and nodded. Asura asked, "Can you really say that each and every one of your subjects are good ponies?"

The princesses look at him in silent and Celestia asked, "What are you trying to say? Are you saying that my ponies are a bad species?"

Asura shook his head and said, "No. I am saying that whatever species there are, there would always be good and bad ones. The bad ones would target the good ones and harm them for their own gain."

Luna said, "I understand what you mean but what's that got to do with Hagoromo?"

Asura said, "Imagine this. I have this chakra and want to spread it among the ponies. Now there are several individuals who are criminals like robbers, murderers,"

Asura used a smaller version of "Sound Wall" on the ears of the fillies and Spike so that they would not hear what he was about to say. He continued, "Rapers etc and don't even say that there aren't any ponies like that. I have met three stallions who were about to rape a defenseless mother as they were ripping off her clothes. They even hit her colt's head and knocked him out. They would have rapped her if I was not in Ponyville."

The princesses eyes widen at that. Celestia asked, "This happened in Ponyville?" She was worried about Twilight's safety and the girls.

Rainbow said, "Yeah its true princesses. I was there when he beat them around and saved the mare."

Mayor Mare said, "I also heard about that incident. To think that stallions like that are in Ponyville is not a good news."

Celestia's ears went flat against her head and said, "I'm sorry Asura. I thought that you were trying to say something bad about my ponies. I shouldn't jump to conclusion."

Asura said, "Its okay Celestia. You just need to be open minded. Now imagine when everyone along with the bad one's gets chakra. What do you think would have happen?"

Asura look at the princesses and girls, waiting for an answer. Twilight said, "Bad things would happen?"

Asura said, "Bad things? No Twilight. What would happen is something worse. The robbers would use chakra to help them in robbing banks and others with ease. The murderers would use chakra to kill innocent ponies with ease and get away with it. The rappers would kidnap others and have their way with them. This is the mistake Hagoromo did when he decided to spread chakra to every human on the planet."

Everyone now understood what he was saying. Indeed there were ponies like that and it would be bad if they got a hold of some power. Asura look at the fillies and Spike who were busy poking their ears as they could not hear anything.

Sweetie Belle said, "I can't hear anything."

Apple Bloom said, "What?"

Sweetie Belle said, "I said I can't hear anything!?"

Apple Bloom again said, "What!?"

Sweetie Belle scrunched her face and shouted, ""I said I can't hear anything!!!?"

Apple Bloom tilted her head and said, "What!!?"

Sweetie Belle's face became red with anger and was about to yell but Scootaloo beat her to it by shouting, "I think she's saying that she can't hear anything!!!!?"

Apple Bloom remain silent for a while and asked, "What!!!?"

The princesses and the girls were laughing at their antics. Asura then removed the "Sound Wall" from their ears so they could hear again. However, Sweetie Belle didn't know.

Sweetie Belle took a deep breath and shouted into Apple Bloom's ear, "I said that I can't hear anything!!!"

It was so loud that Apple Bloom fell from her chair while holding her ears. She got up and poke her ear a couple of times. She then said, "What?"

Asura chuckled and said, "Apple Bloom. You can hear now. I didn't want you little girls to hear what we were talking about."

Apple Bloom put her hand on her ear and said, "What? I can't hear you!"

Asura now became worried and walk towards her. He kneel down and said, "Apple Bloom. Let me see your ear."

Apple Bloom didn't hear him and asked, "What!?"

Asura now know something happened to her ear. He snap his finger and created a paper. He wrote something on it and gave it to Apple Bloom. She read

"Apple Bloom. I need to check your ear."

Apple Bloom nodded and Asura look into her ear. He could see some blood coming out of her ear. Everyone was worried about her.

After looking for a while, Asura said, "Yup. I think your ear drum has been damaged."

Everyone gasped and Sweetie Belle began to apologize to Apple Bloom with tears in her eyes. Applejack asked in a worried tone, "Can you do something about that?"

Asura smiled and petted Apple Bloom's head. He said, "Of course Applejack. If I can regenerate my limbs with ease then this should be a piece of cake."

Pinkie shouted, "Cake! Where!" *Zoom* She was gone so fast that she left an outline of her body where she stood. Then at the next second, she was there with an entire cake in her hands.

Pinkie said, "I got cake!"

Rarity asked, "Pinkie dear. Where did you get that cake?"

Pinkie said with a wide smile, "Duh! I got this from Sugar Cube Corner."

Everyone look at her like she grew another head but then shook their heads as Pinkie being Pinkie.

Asura then look at Apple Bloom and snap his fingers. He created another paper and wrote something on it. Apple Bloom read

"I am now going to heal your ear okay? It may tickle you a bit but you will not feel any pain."

Apple Bloom nodded and Asura put his right index finger near her ear. He liquidized his finger into viral liquid that moved into Apple Bloom's ear. The virus then began to heal her damaged ear drum and cleaned her ear of the blood. Apple Bloom giggled at bit as she felt her ear being tickled. A while later Asura pulled out his virus from her ear.

Asura said, "There you go Apple Bloom. Now you can hear again and much clearly than before."

Apple Bloom hugged him and said, "Thank you Asura."

Apple Bloom let him go and was then hugged by her big sister Applejack. Sweetie Belle kept on apologizing to Apple Bloom and she said that it was okay.

After a while, Twilight said, "Well, that was quite a story you told us Asura."

Rainbow asked, "Are there anymore Ninjas back on your world!?"

Asura said, "Back on my world in the current era, there are very few Ninjas who have managed to blend in like the normal people. The Ninja could be the owner of a bakery, or a teacher, an officer, a doctor or anyone else. The point is that it is very difficult to find them."

Rainbow lower her head in disappointment and said, "Aww. I was hoping that there would be more or at least I get to meet one."

Asura chuckled and said, "Why meet the Ninjas when one is standing right before you?"

Rainbow's head pop back up and look at Asura with wide eyes and jaws agape. The rest of the girls and princesses also look at him with the same expression. The fillies had stars in their eyes at they all look at him like some sort of super hero.

Rainbow asked, "Are you really a Ninja?"

Asura said, "Yes I am. If wasn't then I could have never done what I did in the last fight."

Rainbow flew and tackle hug him and said with joy, "I can't believe it! My colt friend is a freaking Ninja!!"

Rarity gasped and said, "Rainbow! Language!"

Rainbow said, "Aww come on Rarity. Asura here is a Ninja! What could be more awesome and cool as that?"

Scootaloo eyes were sparkling and said, "Yay! A Ninja!"

Sweetie Belle gasped and said, "Girls! We could have our Cutie Mark in being a Ninja!"

Apple Bloom said, "That would be so cool!"

Asura petted Rainbow's head and chuckled. He said, "Now now girls. Being a Ninja isn't something you can just be. It takes a lot of hard work in controlling the chakra."

The CMC 'Aww' in disappointment and Rainbow sat back on her seat. Asura then said, "Now that I told you the origin of chakra but what I didn't tell you about is what chakra really is. Chakra is a form of life energy that all individuals produce to some degree. Some can produce more than others while some don't produce that much. A Ninja can use chakra freely but they need to be cautious about spending all of their chakra."

Zecora asked, "Why is that?"

Asura said, "Because those who run out of chakra will die." Everyone gasped and he continued, "Like I told you, chakra is like life energy. If you use it all up then you die. However, if you simply rest, eat food and sleep, you can regenerate all of the chakra that you have used up."

Trixie said, "So as long as Ninjas don't use up all of their chakra, they will be fine?"

Asura nodded and said, "Yes. Now I will tell you how chakra is created. Chakra is created when two other forms of energy, known collectively as one's "stamina", are moulded together. Physical energy is collected from each and every one of the body's cells and can be increased through training, stimulants, and exercise. Spiritual energy is derived from the mind's consciousness and can be increased through studying, meditation, and experience.

Everyone listen intently to his words like a teacher is talking to his students. Asura continued, "These two energies becoming more powerful in time and the chakra created from them will be more powerful. Therefore, a Ninja must keep on practicing a technique repeatedly will result in build up more experience, increasing one's spiritual energy, and thus allowing more chakra to be created. As a result, the Ninja is able to do that same technique with more power. The same can be applied to physical energy, however, the ninja will need to increase their endurance."

Celestia said, "So its basically like training but with more concentration?"

Asura nodded and said, "Training to become a Ninja is a thousands time harder than its look. For a first time, its incredibly hard to get a hold of their chakra as they need to clear their mind and search within their bodies for the energy. Next is the mind of a Ninja. A Ninja needs to be able to process several things within seconds. They will need to training their senses to their peak. Also, they need to be physically fit and not a lazy person."

Asura then faced everyone and said, "Now some of you have seen me doing some sort of hand signs before using one of my skills. These hand signs are called Hand Seal which are the basic commands in doing a Jutsu. I will now show you all the basic Hand Seal that Ninjas use."

Asura then slowly did different hand signs and told them what each signs are called.

After doing that Asura said, "What's so important about these hand signs is that one, you cannot do a Jutsu without the hand signs and two, the hand signs will manipulate the exact amount of chakra necessary to perform a Jutsu. The hand signs also control which elements you want to mix in with your chakra. Now there are others hand signs that only powerful Ninjas know of which are very unique and hard to do. Now I will show you how to do a Jutsu and the process that involves it."

Asura snap his finger and an image of a body appears that seems to show how a Jutsu is done.

Rainbow and Gilda looked like they were about to explode with excitement. Twilight was writing all of this on several papers but she forgot that without chakra, they can't use it what he is telling them. The fillies and Spike look at him in excitement like he is doing the greatest thing of all.

Asura pointed towards the image and said, "Now look here at the abdomen. You will see that there is a circle in which two things are contained. One is 'Mind' and the other is 'Body'. The 'Mind' is your 'Spiritual Energy' and the 'Body' is your 'Physical Stamina'. Both of them are being mixed together in order to create chakra."

Asura then pointed towards the image hands and said, "Here, you can see a hand sign. With hand signs you need to used the element you have and control how much chakra you are putting into your Jutsu. The Jutsu will need to have the right amount of chakra or other wise your Jutsu will fail and you will lose all of the energy you have gathered in your body, but don't worry about that. There are a lot of Ninjas who fail at it a couple of hundreds time but after that, they began to grasp at how to do a Jutsu correctly."

Asura then pointed towards the image mouth and said, "Here you can see the Ninja expelling out fire from his mouth. That is not actually fire. Its just an example of showing on how to release your Jutsu on your enemies. When your Jutsu is complete, you need to say the skill name and release it from your mouth. Not all of the Jutsu needs to be released from the mouth. There are other Jutsu that can be released with the hands and feet. Now I will show you all example of how to perform a Ninjutsu."

Rainbow squeed like a fan girl and said, "Oh! I can't wait to see that!"

Gilda nodded and said, "Me too. This Ninja stuff is making me more excited than before." The other girls nodded too. The fillies and Spike look with expectations of what Asura would show them.

Asura walk away a few meters from the girls and then faced them. He said, "What I am about to show you all is an offensive Ninjutsu called "Fire Style Fire Ball". I will first show you which Hand Seal you will need to make in order to execute this Ninjutsu."

Asura then slowly showed them seven different hand signs and saying their names respectively.

After that Asura said, "Now I will do the Hand Seal in a fast pace and execute the Ninjutsu."

Asura look away from everyone and faced a wall. He then made the hand signs quickly and said "Fire Style Fire Ball".

Everyone gasped when they saw Asura breath out fire that turned into a ball of fire and sailed towards the wall, *Boom* destroying it. A small hole was made in the wall and there were some cracks near the end of the hole. Everyone's mouth hit the floor and their eyes went wide.

Rainbow said, "That ... was .... awesome!!!"

Gilda said in glee, "I would love to do that!"

Spitfire said, "Fire is in my name so this skill will suit me!"

Fleetfoot said, "That be so cool if I could do that!"

Everyone compliment about that demonstration but were shocked at what Asura said next.

Asura said, "That was a Ninjutsu which contained a small amount of chakra."

Twilight said, "You mean that was a weak fire ball!?"

Asura nodded and said, "Yes. Now I will show you what happens when this Ninjutsu has twice the chakra as before."

Asura did the same hand signs, gathered more chakra and said "Fire Style Fire Ball".

Everyone jaws dropped on the floor and their eyes bulged out from their eye sockets when they saw a fire ball that was twice-no trice-no. Five Times bigger then the previous one. They saw the huge fire ball soaring towards the wall that had a small hole in it and *Boom* exploded on contact. After the dust settled, they saw that the wall was entirely obliterated into nothingness.

Everyone look at the missing wall in shock. Asura said, "This is what happens when you put more chakra that is necessary into a Ninjutsu. A Ninjutsu will become even more powerful as you keep on practicing it."

Everyone were silent for a while and then Pinkie jumped up into the air and shouted, "This is amazing!"

Twilight nodded and said, "It is Pinkie. Just think what the guards could do if they were able to use chakra."

Luna said, "It would make them capable of fighting against the monsters."

Celestia said, "But we need to be careful of choosing of who would get the chakra. Asura did raised a good point. Not all of our little ponies are good."

The CMC, Sparkler, Ditzy and Spike cheered for him. Other girls also were talking about how useful chakra can be. However, Fluttershy was thinking about one thing when Asura showed them the five main elements of the Ninjas.

Fluttershy asked, "Um Asura?"

Asura said, "Yes Fluttershy?"

Fluttershy asked, "Um when you showed us the five elements the Ninjas use, I didn't saw anything related to wood."

Everyone look at her and Rainbow said, "What are you saying Fluttershy?"

Fluttershy hid behind her hair from all the attention she was getting. She said, "Um you girls saw how he controlled the trees when he was making his house but it does not fit with the five elements of Ninjas."

The girls eyes widen at that and look at Asura. Applejack said, "Now that you mention it, that is strange."

Twilight asked, "Asura. How can you control trees? The five elements were water, fire, wind, earth and lightning. So where does tree fit in this?"

Asura smiled and said, "That is an excellent question girls. How can I control trees when there are only five elements the Ninjas used? Allow me to explain. When a person is born with chakra, they have one of the five elements but there are rare cases where some people possess two elements. In a more rarer case, 3-4 people will posses three elements. Now what's the importance of having more than one elements? The answer is that they can mix their elements to create new types of elements that give way to new Ninjutsu!"

Everyone eyes widen at that. If the five elements were that powerful then what can a mixture of two or three elements can do?

Asura said, "Now let me ask you a question. Out of the five element, what does a tree has a relation with them? Think for a while and tell me."

Everyone think for an answer. Twilight was wracking her brain to come up with an answer. Others tried to think too.

Mayor Mare said, "Well, trees have a relationship with earth?"

Applejack said, "That's right! Tree grows from the earth!"

Fleetfoot said, "Trees need sunlight to grow so that relates to fire?"

Zecora said, "Not exactly. Trees don't need that much sunlight if they need to grow fully."

Mellow Hoof said, "Trees take minerals from the dirt and grow."

Fluttershy said, "Trees need water in order to absorb minerals from the soil."

There were several different answers and after everyone told Asura their answers, he said, "Well, almost all of your answers are in a matter of fact correct. A tree needs dirt and moisture to grow so that relates to the element Earth and Water. If a Ninja has these two elements, they can combine them to make a new element, Wood. This is how I am able to control the trees and plant life."

Everyone were stunned with the new info. With multiple elements, a Ninja can combine them to produce a new Ninjutsu.

Asura said, "With the combination of elements, this gave way to new elements. Here is an advance chart of the elements."

Asura snap his finger and an image appeared that showed everyone new kinds of elements.

Everyone look with wide eyes at the new types of elements. There were several of them and each element have a whole list of Ninjutsu. Rainbow and Gilda began to drool at that. Twilight, Trixie and Zecora look at the chart with for knowledge. The rest of the girls too look at the chart with interest. The fillies and Spike look at the chart with sparkling eyes. Especially the CMC who think that the chart could help them with their Cutie Mark.

Celestia said, "That is really something Asura. TO have not only the history of an ancient civilization but even knowledge of their skills."

Asura scratched the back of his heads and said, "Well, I don't have the exact full knowledge of their skills. Heck, I'm pretty sure that there are more then what I was able to find out."

Luna said, "Well, you did a pretty good job at that, but I have a question. How many elements do you have?"

Everyone look at him and saw him smiling. Asura raised his right hand and stretched out his fingers. Lightning crackled from his pinky finger. Water flowed from a glass towards his hand and float around his ring finger. Fire burst from his middle finger. Wind swirled around his index finger. Rocks from the destroyed wall floated towards his hand and covered his thumb.

Everyone look at his hands and the elements on each of his fingers in disbelief. Asura asked with a grin, "Guess which ones I have?"

Rainbow gulped loudly and said, "A-ll f-five?"

Asura said, "Correct."

*Thud*

Everyone's jaws ht the floor like a hammer and their eyes bulged out of their eye sockets. They could not believe that Asura possess all of the five Ninja elements. This means that he could do all types of Jutsu there were and there were plenty.

Gilda asked, "You mean to tell me that you can do every kind of Ninja skill there is!?"

Asura nodded and immediately he was tackled-hugged by Rainbow, Gilda, Pinkie, Trixie, Swift Tail, Spitfire and Fleetfoot. They all look up to him with their cute puppy dog eyes and asked, "Can you please train us to be a Ninja?"

Asura chuckled and hugged them all. He said, "This I can teach you all. It will take some time before you can grasp your chakra."

Twilight said, "But Asura, we don't have any chakra."

Asura said, "I know. I will share my chakra with you all as I know how to spread it but this time I will not make the same mistake that Hagoromo made. This time, I will carefully select individuals who are worthy of having my chakra. If they abuse it then I will take the chakra away from them."

Celestia nodded and said, "That is a wise decision. I don't want anyone to run around with that kind of power and cause destruction."

Asura eyes lit as he remembered something and said, "Oh! I almost forgot. If you think that Ninjutsu were incredible, then look at this."

With the attention of everyone on him, Asura walk towards a wall. He raised his right leg and put his foot on the all. Then to everyone shock, he lifted his left leg and put his left foot on the wall. Asura was now standing horizontally on the wall and he did not fall. Then he began to walk upwards towards the ceiling and did the same with it. Asura was now literally standing upside down from the ceiling. He look down at the shocked girls, princesses, fillies and dragon. He waved at them who waved in return while still shock.

Scootaloo said, "Wow! That's so cool!"

Apple Bloom said, "How are you doing that!?"

Sweetie Belle said, "I want to try walking on walls!"

Asura laughed and said, "Being a Ninja does not mean that there is only flashy moves or elements. A Ninja will train themselves beyond their limit. One of the favorite skills of a Ninja is that they can walk on any surface. Be they solid or liquid. Yes you heard me. A Ninja is capable of walking on water as well."

The CMC gasped and said, "Cutie Mark Crusaders Wall Walkers! YAY!!!"

Asura laugh at that and said, "Oh that's reminds me!"

Asura fell from the ceiling and landed on his feet. He said, "Here is one of my favorite Ninja skill!"

Asura did some hand signs and said "Shadow Clone Jutsu". Several explosions of *Poof* *Poof* *Poof* *Poof* of white smoke happened near him and when they dissipated, everyone gasped at what they saw. There besides Asura was another Asura and another and another and another. There were a total of 11 Asura in the room. Some were on the wall, some on the ceiling while the rest were standing on the floor.

One of the clone said, "This is called the "Shadow Clone Jutsu"."

A clone on the said, "As you can see, this skill allows me to multiply myself by making clones of myself."

A clone on the ceiling said, "This is very useful when you are outnumbered by the enemy."

A clone on the floor said, "Just simply make clones of yourself and even the odds."

Another clone on the wall said, "Or you could outnumber your enemies."

The real Asura came in front of the girls and said, "Can you tell me if I'm the real one or not?"

Everyone began to look at the clones and tried to find some kind of flaw but couldn't as they were perfect copies of Asura. Pinkie brought out a magnifying glass from .... somewhere and began to look closely at each of them. However, in the end, she too failed. Her randomness couldn't help her with this.

Every clone pointed towards the real Asura and said, "He is the real Asura."

Asura then said, "Each of these clones will act just like me. They will talk just like me and have the same personality as me."

Some of the girls moved towards the clones and look over them. Some even poked them with their fingers.

Asura laugh at that and said, "Girls. They are real enough to have physical forms. Also a clone can dissipated when he receives any kind of damage. For example."

Asura moved towards a clone and gave a flick to his forehead. However, the clone didn't dissipated like he intended to. Asura raised and eyebrow and gave another flick to the clone's forehead and again the clone didn't dissipated.

'What's going on? Why aren't they dissipating after that?' thought Asura. He gave a few more flicks but the clone didn't dissipated.

Asura said, "Sorry about this." and finally *Bash* punched the clone and then he dissipated with a *Poof*.

'Okay? That was different' thought Asura. He look at the girls and saw them a bit confused at what happened.

Mellow Hoof asked, "Asura. Is everything alright?"

Asura said, "Yeah. Well .. truthfully, its not."

Fluttershy asked, "What's the matter Asura? Is the clone not suppose to disappear like that?"

Asura said, "No. They are suppose to dissipate whenever they receive some kind of damage or pain. My clone should have dissipated after I flicked his forehead but he didn't. My clone took a punch in order to dissipate. This is not how the skill work."

Twilight said, "If a clone is suppose to dissipated after receiving any sort of pain then maybe your clone are different. You said it yourself that your Gourmet Cells have made you really strong. If so then they must have effected your chakra in some kind of way. This way, your clones may need to receive a bit more damage than they originally need before they dissipate?"

Asura thought about what Twilight said. She may be right. Maybe his Gourmet Cells combined with chakra have an effect on his clones. If so then it is a positive effect that he likes.

Asura said with a smile, "Thanks for clearing that up Twilight. My Gourmet Cells must have affected my chakra in some way and that in turn made my clones more durable than before." Twilight blush when he thanked her.

Pinkie said, "That cloning skill is amazing! Just think what I can do with that skill! I can be at several places at the same time!"

Rainbow eyes widen at that and said, "No!!"

Everyone look at Rainbow who smiled sheepishly. She said, "Well, its not that is a cool skill and all but! I don't think having more than two Pinkie will be safe for Ponyville. Or anywhere else for that matters. You don't want her randomness spreading like that do you?"

Everyone's eyes widen at that and agreed with Rainbow. Having more than one Pinkie can be disastrous. One Pinkie is more than enough.

Pinkie pouted cutely and said, "You girls aren't any fun."

A nearby clone walk to Pinkie and scratched her ears. This calm her down and leaned in his hand.

Trixie asked, "What else these clones can do?"

Asura said, "These clones possess one very unique skill."

Mayor Mare asked, "What is that?"

Asura said, "I'll show you." He snap his finger and 9 papers appeared. He gave them to his 9 clones and said, "Now, my clones will write any number on the paper and they will give any of you the papers. I do not know which clone wrote what and who received the papers."

With the Asura turned around with his eyes away from everyone. The clones then wrote numbers on the papers and gave them to some of the girls. The girls looked at the number and hid the papers. The clones then dissipated and Asura turned around to face them.

Asura then pointed towards the girls and said, "Scootaloo, your number is 48. Sweetie Belle, your number is 24. Apple Bloom, your number is 18. Spike, your number is 86. Dinky, your number is 12. Sparkler, your number is 31. Fluttershy, your number is 59. Celestia, your number is 16. Luna, your number is 67."

The ones Asura pointed out were shocked and pulled out the papers and showed the others. Everyone were shocked to see that.

Swift Tail asked, "How did you know the numbers?"

Mayor Mare said, "Even the ones who were given the papers?"

Asura smirked and said, "In the era of Ninjas, this skill was used to mainly gather info about their enemies. When a clone learns something, they dismiss them self and all of the gathered information is sent back to the original. This is how I knew which ones were given the papers and what numbers there were."

Everyone were really impressed with this. To have this kind of skill will be a huge advantage against the enemies.

*Zoom* *Thud*

Everyone look at the sound and found Asura hug by Twilight. She look up to him with the most adorable puppy dog eyes and asked cutely, "Can you please teach me?"

HHHHHHNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!

Heart explosion eminent. Highly advised to take precautions.

After calming his heart, he hugged Twilight and said, "Of course Twilight. But it will take a lot of time before you can get used to your chakra."

"Yay!" Twilight happily hugged him and nuzzled her muzzle into his chest.

Rainbow said, "Bet what she is going to do with that cloning skill."

Mayor Mare asked, "What?"

Rainbow said, "Books. She is going to read several books at the same time with her clones."

Applejack chuckled and said, "That's Twilight for you."

The fillies cheered, "We're gonna be Ninjas! We're gonna be Ninjas! We're gonna be Ninjas!"

Trixie asked, "Asura. You said something about Jutsu being categorized in three classes. You already told us what Ninjutsu is but what are the other two?"

Twilight eyes lit up and said, "Yeah. I have been meaning to ask about that too."

Asura said, "Right. I already told you all what Ninjutsu are. The other two classes are Genjutsu and Taijutsu. Now you first need to know that not every Ninja is strong. Some are pretty weak but those who are smart will change their weakness into strength. A Genjutsu is the art of using illusions against your enemies."

Trixie said, "Then I am already at top of the class in that."

Asura said, "No Trixie. You an illusionist magic user is completely different from a Genjutsu user."

Trixie asked, "What? Then what's the difference between my magic and a Genjutsu user?"

Asura said, "The illusion magic of pony can show others false things. Like for example you are being chased by monsters and in order to save you life, you use your magic to show them that you have run in a different direction to which they follow he false one. However, a Genjutsu will either make the enemy trap in a world of illusion or you can manipulate them. A Ninja can create Genjutsu by controlling the energy flow of a enemy's cerebral nervous system. This will affect their five senses."

Asura said, "A Ninja can use Genjutsu to trick the enemy by creating false images. You can even use it to hurt others mentally. For example, you are using Genjutsu on your opponent and in the world of illusion, the opponent is being continuously stab by a knife. The opponent is not being harmed in any way but his mind will think that he is being stab and will feel pain only in his mind. Ninjas usually do this if they are interrogating a criminal or running away from an enemy. The other way of using Genjutsu is showing them false images by making yourself appear to be somewhere else and then attack the enemy. You can also use Genjutsu to change the environment. Like for example, you make the enemy see a flat plain where there is a steep cliff but the enemy doesn't know that. When the enemy walk towards the fake plain, he will fall off the cliff. The ones who are under the influence of Genjutsu will either appear to be unconscious or continue to move around under the pretense of the Genjutsu. "

Trixie eyes widen at that and said, "Really? My illusion magic can't do that. I can only make fake fire works, can multiply myself with illusion magic and create an illusion of a Manticore."

Luna asked, "How can one use this skill?"

Asura said, "In order to create a Genjutsu, the enemy is required to simply make an eye contact with the caster. Another way of casting a Gengutsu is with sound which is deemed to be the most dangerous because the user can trap victims from long distances."

Sweetie Belle asked, "You can use the skill with sound too?"

Asura said, "Yes. By hearing a weird sound, it will affect the brain of the victim and his sense can be manipulated into seeing whatever you want him too."

Trixie said, "If I combine my illusion magic with Genjutsu, then I can be the greatest illusionist there is!"

Asura said, "Using Genjutsu is not easy Trixie. It require precise chakra control in order to manipulate the target's senses and advanced intelligence to make the illusion convincing but I know with training, you can definitely become one." This made Trixie smile.

Luna asked, "Can you show us how a Genjutsu works?"

Asura nodded and said, "Sure Luna. I want all of you to look into my eyes okay? You have nothing to worry about. I would never use anything that would harm yo in anyway. What I am about to do will simply make your mind see a world full of natural beauty."

The others were first worry about it but then relaxed when he said that he was not going to harm them. They all nodded and look into his blue eyes. Even Fluffle Snow. They all gasped when they saw Asura's body began to dissipate by turning into flower petals. Soon there was no sight of the human. Only the flower petals flowed around them that blocked their view. Then they disappear and everyone were shocked to find themselves in a flower field along with trees and a lake.

Everyone began to walk around and explored the area. Fluttershy sat down on the grass and felt it real. She smelled the flowers and found it real. Applejack touched a tree and felt it to be real. Fluffle Snow rlled over the grass as it felt real to it. Rainbow dipped on of her leg into the lake and felt it wet. It was real to her. The sight. The plants. The smell. The environment. The atmosphere. Everything was real.

Then everyone's attention when the heard *Crack*. They look around and found the sky to be cracking. Soon, several cracks spread around the beautiful sight and then *Crackle* the sight shattered like a broken mirror and everyone found themselves back in the dining room. Everyone look around and saw no sight of the flowers, grass, lake and trees.

Asura asked with a smile, "How was your trip?"

Everyone were silent for a while and then Luna asked, "Was that a Genjutsu?"

Asura nodded and Trixie said, "But! But how can that be!? Everything felt so real!"

Fluttershy said, "The grass and flowers were real."

Mellow Hoof said, "Even their sweet smell felt real."

Applejack said, "The trees were hard and felt real."

Rainbow said, "The lake was cool and wet. It felt so real."

Fleetfoot said, "The sky. The air felt so real."

Spitfire said, "The atmosphere felt real."

Zecora said, "The plant life and its nature felt real to me."

Celestia said, "The sunlight felt real."

Asura said, "That is the difference between illusion magic and Genjutsu. By looking into my eyes, you all came under my Genjutsu. I then showed you all a fake scenery."

Celestia asked, "But it felt so real. How can it be real when we were simply seeing the fake scenery?"

Asura said, "With my Genjutsu, I manipulated all of your five senses. I tricked your brain into not only seeing a fake image but also made the smell, grass, water, sky real to you. Before all of this, I even told you that I was going to use Genjutsu on all of you but still your brain took the fake image to be real."

Trixie was mesmerized by this skill. She will need to train hard in becoming a top notch Genjutsu user.

Applejack said, "And what's does Iaijutsu does?"

Asura said, "Its Taijutsu Applejack and it involves all kinds of martial arts that a body is capable of doing. Taijutsu is executed by directly accessing the user's physical and mental energies. Ninjas most relying on the stamina and strength that can be gained through training. Taijutsu is the only class that does not require any chakra. Well, most of them. Some may even use chakra to enhance their techniques. Taijutsu is best for those who are good in close quarter combat and those who rely on their physical attributes."

Celestia said, "That amazing Asura. Are you going to spread chakra on your "Monster Hunter" squad as well?"

Asura nodded and said, "Sure am. They are getting stronger with my training but with the addition of chakra, they would become excellent guards. However, I will need to come up with a way to stop them from abusing it. I don't want my guards turning out like Shining Armor. That would be extremely bad."

Everyone nodded at that. They have seen Shining Armor's true color. Twilight once highly look at the brother but after seeing his true colors, she is very sad about that. To think that someone like Shining Armor is related to her is not a good thing.

Mayor Mare said, "Asura. When you were telling the story, there was a new kind of skill that you mentioned. I think it was sunjuitsu or something?"

Asura said, "Its Senjutsu Mayor and its one of the most rarest and difficult Ninja skill there is. Even I had difficulty in learning this."

Rainbow said, "What!? You? Get out. How can someone like you not learn that sunjutsu or whatever. You already learned the rest of the Ninja skills that you have shown us."

Zecora said, "I have to agree with Rainbow. What makes this skill so hard for you to learn?"

Asura said, "It is called Senjutsu or Sage Techniques. This is a specialized field of techniques that allows the user to sense and then gather natural energy in their surroundings. Those who are able to learn Senjutsu, will be able to not only draw out the energy of nature and absorb them but they can mix them with their own chakra. This adds a whole new dimension of power to Ninja's chakra. There is a form of skill called Sage Mode and those who managed to activate it will have their physical parameters increased by several folds for as long as the mode is active."

Celestia asked, "Is it really that hard to learn this Senjutsu?"

Asura nodded and said, "Yes. Its very hard and time consuming. I only got the basis of it but it will take time to learn the more advance stuff. The only one who mastered Senjutsu was Hagoromo." He look down as he though how much hard training it would take the girls in learning the art of Ninja.

Rarity said, "Well now, no need to get depress darling. I'm pretty sure that we can learn it after training for a while. I know you will be with us in each and every step we take."

Asura look up to her and smiled. He said, "I will Rarity. I would never leave you girls with something like that. I will help you all to train in the art of Ninja. This in turn will prepare your body when your Gourmet Cells are ready."

Rainbow flew around the room with excitement and said, "I can't believe it! Not only am I going to be an awesome Ninja but I get to have my very own Gourmet Cell!"

Gilda flew with her and said, "You got that right Rainbow!"

Mayor Mare said, "I too would like that. It would help me greatly with looking over Ponyville."

Applejack said, "It would help me with bucking more apple trees than before."

Everyone talked about what they could do when being a Ninja as they finished eating their breakfast. The princesses and girls thanked Asura and kissed him before leaving. The girls took the fillies and dragon around Canterlot to spend their time. Asuar sent his pet Fluffle Snow with Fluttershy so that he can keep an eye on them if any trouble occurs. Asura in the mean time decided that it would be better for him to train the guards more. With the increase of monsters attack, he will need them ready as fast as possible.

Asura first contacted his infected insects in Ponyville to see if any monsters were near that town. It was clear. He then contacted the infected insects that were following Flim and Flam. The insect informed him that the brothers were doing their job and purchased a lot of ores. They also relaxed a few time when they were tired but everything is fine.

Asura then went towards the barrack and saw that the guards were getting ready. So he waited for them to get ready. A while later, the guards were ready and he approached them. When the guards saw him, they were shocked to see him fine. They all gathered into a group, saluted him and shouted "Sir!"

Silver Streak asked, "Asura. Are you okay? Should you be getting up just like that?"

Asura said, "Yes. I'm fine. Just have some pain here and there but I am okay. Now, are you all ready for some training?"

Everyone shouted "Sir! Yes! Sir!"

Asura nodded and said, "Good. Then lets get going."

Silvers Streak said, "Before we begin Asura, I want to have one of my friend join your squad."

Asura asked, "Sure. Who is your friend?"

Silver Streak waved to someone and and a light green male Unicorn came towards Asura with a small wolf.

Silver Streak said, "Knives. I want you to meet our captain sir Asura. Now introduce yourself to him."

Knives look at Asura with a smile and bowed in respect. He said, "Sir. Its an honor to finally meet you. My name is Jack Hunt but I prefer to be called Knives. I am 24 years old."

(Imagine him in anthro form)

Knives pointed towards the small wolf and said, "This is my pet Lightning Fang. He is a rare species of lightning wolf."

Asura noticed that Knives had a stick on his back and asked, "Why do you have a stick?"

Knives grinned widely and took a hold of the stick. He held the stick in his right hand and pointed towards the roof while trying to make it look like a sword. He said, "There are many criminals in Equestria. When they are brought down here in the castle's dungeon, it is my job to make every second of their life miserable by poking them with this almighty stick. I will poke them here and poke them there but not there where the sun don't shine. I mean who would want to poke the criminals there. That is just wrong on so many levels. No one has the guts to do this poking job except for me. For I am the great Pokenator!!"

*Crackle*

Electricity shot out of Knives horn which made him look a bit cool if only the stick was a sword. Asura stare at him for a while and then look at Silver Streak with a raised eyebrow. Asura saw Silver Streak doing a *Smack* facepalm. Hard. This made Asura laugh. A guard who can make jokes. He like it.

Asura then talk with Knives for a bit and found out that he is generally a joker who loves to make bad puns and is slightly perverted but knows when to keep it in check. He also like to help those who needs it. When it comes to protecting his friends, he will fight to protect them to the end.

Asura also found out that Knives parents abandoned him at birth and sent to a orphanage. There he grew up mostly normal. He is pretty good in Lightning base magic. Knives was in a group of guards who protected his home town. In order to support their town, they would go into dangerous areas and hunt down dangerous animals. Knives was happy in protecting the town he lived in but one day, while patrolling a few rouge dragons stormed into town and started to tear up the place.

Knives superiors ordered him to help the towns folk to get into the emergency bunker. He obeyed and escorted almost all the towns folk while his superiors fought the dragons. However, things turn to the worst when a dragon captured a filly and was planing to eat her. This made something snapped in Knives as he quickly grabbed a sword and starting attacking the dragon. He used quick reflexes to dogged most of the dragon's attack and used lighting magic to stun it for a few moments which gave him the upper hand and took down the dragon and saved the filly.

After dealing with the dragons, a party was held for them for successfully repelling the dragons. At the party Knives was congratulated for his fighting capability in taking down a dragon all by himself. He was even promoted. At the party, a lady named Sapphire approached him and thanked for saving her daughter Lin from the dragon. In time, the two fell in love and after 2 years of dating, Knives asked her to marry him. Sapphire happily accepted and married him. They both lived happily ever since.

As for the lighting wolf, Knives said that he found the wolf as an infant who was abandoned in the wild. When Knives found the him, he saw that the wolf was really scrawny, like he didn't get to eat anything but was still alive. Knives immediately took the infant wolf back to his home and took care of him. In time, the wolf became Knives loyal pet and follows him every where he goes.

Asura found no lie in Knives story and accepted him into his squad. Silver Streak and Knives thanked him. Asura then took everyone to the training area. Also, he stealthy took one piece of hair from the lightning wolf with his invisible hair and gained its DNA.

Gained New Power From Lightning Wolf DNA

When everyone arrived at the training area, Asura said, "Everyone! I have something to say to all of you!"

Asura now had everyone's attention and he said, "During the Canterlot's monster invasion, instead of charging towards the monsters blindly, you all choose to protect the citizens. That was a good choice you all made. Should you all have choose to engage the monsters, then not only you would have died but the citizens would have as well."

The guards nodded as they all understood what he was saying. They knew that they would not win against the monsters. So the best option was to secure the citizens and protect them as best as they could.

Asura said, "Now, from yesterday's attack, I came to the conclusion that the monsters are getting bolder and bolder. They first only targeted small villages and towns but now, they are targeting entire cities. From this, I may need to speed up all of your training by a few levels. So I ask all of you, do you want to become stronger?"

The guards nodded and said, "Yes!"

Asura said, "Do you want to be able to take on monsters all by yourselves?"

Again the guards nodded and said louder, "Yes!!"

Asura said, "Do you want to protect your loved ones from the monsters!?"

Again the guards nodded and said louder, "Yes!!!"

Asura shouted, "Do you want to spread around Equestria and protect not only Canterlot but other cities and areas as well!!?"

Again the guards nodded and said louder, "Yes!!!!"

Asura said with a grin, "Then all I ask you is to be patient and hold out with the training I am going to give you now. When ever you feel like you can't take it anymore then think about those who can't protect themselves. Make your body listen to you and keep on moving forward!"

"Yeah!!!" The guards shouted as they got ready for their new training. However their mistake was that they didn't know how hard the training would be.

A Few Minutes Later

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

*Crack*

"NO MORE!!!"

*Smack*

"MY BACK!!!"

*Crunch*

"MY LEG!!!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

"MY SPLINE!!!"

"MAKE IT STOP!!!"

"I'M DYING!!!"

"MERCY!!!"

All of these screams sounded like some sort of torture was going on the training area. Well, that's true. It was a training torture. On the training area, there were several clones of Asura and each of them were looking over a guard's training. However, this sort of training was different than what they were used to. They were all shocked to see the human cloning skill but soon their shock turn to horror when the training began that made the guards scream in pain. Let's see what sort of training they are doing.

There was a group of clones who were training ponies in a different sort of way. The first training set consisted of two vertical 40 foot high wooden poles. A horizontal wooden pole joined them from the middle. A pony was tied to the horizontal pole by the hooves. The pony was Knives and he was swinging fort and back as there was a fire pit below him. A clone stood in front of him and put more woods into the fire to keep it from going out.

Knives shouted, "Ahhhhh!! This is bloody murdering!!"

The clone look up at Knives like a teacher would and said, "This one is called Roast Squid Dance."

Knives shouted, "Like I care! Its not like the name makes it any easier! And why a food name!? Its making me hungry just by thinking about it!"

The clone said, "In this training, you will be forced to turn your body back and forth. This will train your back muscles and abdomen muscles."

Knives shouted, "This is called a slow death!! Ahhh!"

The clone added more wood to the fire and said, "You better move back and forth or you will be cooked alive. Mmmm. I wonder what a roasted pony taste like?" He lick his lips at that.

Knives became white in horror and shouted, "No! I can't die here! I have a wife and a filly! Ahhh!"

There were several more ponies training like this and they were just like Knives as the clone added wood to the fire. Their color turned white when Asura said, "Come on! Swing back and forth like your life depends on it! Well that's true. If you fail here then you will be roasted alive and I get to eat you up."

Immediately all of the upside down ponies swung back and forth like they never had before.

"No way I am dying here!"

"Ahhh! Its hot!!"

"My hair is on fire!!!"

"It burns!!!"

The next training includes some sort of machine. It includes a rubber wheel big enough for a pony to fit in while standing at his full height. Inside the wheel, the pony is strap to a holder which prevents the pony from getting out of the wheel. Behind the pony is a metal rod that crackled with electricity. The pony is forced to run inside the wheel.

Another group of clones were training ponies with some weird machine. The clones were besides the machines with one pony inside each of them and they were all running. The clone said, "This training will increase your stamina. The more you run, the more electricity the machines generates. The moment you slow down, you will get a nasty shock from all of the accumulated electricity. So you better not stop running at full speed or else, there will be roasted pony for me to eat."

There were several of the machines which held ponies inside of them. All of them were running at their top speed and when ever someone slowed down, they get zapped from the electric rod behind them. The clones looked over their training as they control the machine's speed.

"Ahhh! This is madness!!!"

"I can't run forever!!!"

"I'm getting tired!!!"

*Zap*

"Ahhhhhhh!!!"

"No more!!!"

"My legs feel like they are going to break!!!"

*Zap*

"Mercy!!!"

The clone said, "If you have enough energy to complain then use them to run more!" Some clones either increased or decreased the speed of the wheel as they look over the ponies stamina training.

Another group of clones were training ponies with body restrictions. Ponies were wearing some kind of vest that was made out of strong springs. The vest covered their upper body, their arms, wrist and legs. With the vest on, the ponies looked like they were struggling to move around. No. They were using all of their might just to take a single step.

A clone said, "This vest will restrict a lot of your movements. You will have a hard time moving your body with it. This training will force you to move your body while getting use to the restriction. As you get use to it, you will feel like your body is getting lighter. From this, you can increase your reflexes."

"Its so hard to move!"

"I can barely take a step!"

"I can't move my arms!"

"Ouch! I think I pulled a muscle!"

"I fell like snakes are coiled around me!"

Another group of clones were training ponies in a weird way. Especially for the ponies. The ponies were standing on a wooden plank and had their legs bend and were tied with a rope so the pony could not straighten their legs. A bowl of hot water was placed on each of their thighs. Their hooves were tied to the plank so that the pony would not get off of it. Between their legs, was a small bowl with "Mind" written on it. The bowl held a vertical stick that had its end burning red hot. If the pony's body lower, then their flank would get burned by it.

The ponies arms were stretched horizontally in both directions. With their hands, they held a weight in each hand. The weight in the left hand has "Effort" written on it while the weight in the right hand has "Spirit" written on it. There were two ribbons tied on their biceps. The ribbons held a blade facing down. If the ponies arm lower from the weight, then the blades would pierce the side of their rib cage.

On their head was a bowl with "Endurance" written on it. It held boiling hot water. This will make them concentrate on their body so that the bowl on their heads would not fall on them.

A clone said, "In this training, you will be forced to stay in this position for as long as you can. By doing so, it will put a lot of strain on your bodies. You will also need to keep your arms straight while never letting go of the weights. If you do lower your arms, then the blades on your biceps will pierce the side of your chest. So don't lower them. Also, the bowls on your thighs and on top of your heads are filled with boiling hot water. Stay in your position and you won't get showered in boiling hot water."

"Ahhh! My body is in pain!"

"The weights are pulling my arms down!"

"Ahhh! The blades pierced me!"

"How long do we have to stay in this position!?"

The clone said, "Till the boiling water cools down."

Some of the ponies sigh in relief that it was not going to be a hard or long training. However, their worries came back when they saw the clones refilling the bowls with more boiling hot water.

The clone said, "From time to time, we will be refilling your bowls with fresh boiling water. This will keep you up in your concentration."

"What!?"

"You can't do that!"

"If you do that, then this training will never end!"

"Our bodies will get tired!"

The clone said, "It won't be forever. Just a couple pf hours and then you all can rest for the day."

"Nooooo!"

"Mercy!"

"Your merciless!"

"Your a demon!"

"Ahhhhh!!! My flank!!!"

The clone said, "Yes. For all of you, I am a demon during training and a friend after it. Now get back to your training and stay in that position."

Another group of clones were putting small rocks on the ponies bodies. The ponies weer confused as to why they were having stones placed on their bodies.

"Why are you putting rocks on our bodies?"

"Are we going to run with it without making the rocks fall from our bodies?"

The clone said, "No. That would be stupid. In this training, you won't have to run or lift weights. All you have to do is remain perfectly still. That's all."

"That's all?"

The clone nodded and said, "That's right. Don't move your legs. Don't move your muscles. Just stand till and most of all, keep your eyes open."

"Well, if you say so."

"This has got to be the most easiest training we got?"

"Yeah! You said It."

"I thought that we were going to do something more lik-gghhhhaaaaaaaa!!!"

*Shing* *Shing* *Shing* *Shing* *Shing* *Shing* *Shing*

Several clones created a sword and swung them at the ponies. They swung the sword skilfully so that only the rocks on the ponies bodies were cut in two. The ponies eyes went wide and their color were turn white in terror of seeing swords swinging at their bodies. After swing quickly for 5 seconds, the clones stopped and the rocks split into two.

A clone said, "In this training, you will be forced to see danger coming towards your life. The most important factor in fighting your enemies is courage. This training will increase your courage so that you won't run away from the monsters. And well done in staying perfectly still. If you would have moved even 1 CM, then you would have been cut apart."

"WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO!!!"

"I THOUGHT MY HEART WAS GOING TO JUMP OUT OF MY CHEST!!!"

"I SAW MY LIFE FLASH BEFORE MY EYES! IT WAS SO BORING! ..... LIFE WELL SPENT!!!"

The clones put new rocks on their bodies and moved a few meters away from them.

"What are you doing? You can't slice the rocks when you are that far away?"

The clone said, "We will not be swinging swords for a while." He put his hands inside his pocket and pulled out a bunch of knives and said, "We will be throwing some sharp objects. So don't move at all or you'll get stabbed by them."

The clones then aimed their knives at the terrified ponies and throw it at them.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Another group of clones were training by pushing ponies. No. The ponies had their legs tied together and the clone grabbed them by their backs and pushed them with their faces almost a few inches above the ground. The ponies were using their hands like legs in order to move forwards and save their faces from smashing into the ground.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

"SLOW DOWN!!!"

"MY FACE IS ABOUT TO HIT THE GROUND!!!"

"MY HANDS ARE KILLING ME!!!"

The clone said, "Your legs are about three times stronger than your arms. Why is that? Its because you use your legs to walk all the time, thus why your legs are stronger as it supports all of your body weight. In this training, you all are being forced to use your arms and hands like legs. This will increase your arm muscles."

"WILL YOU SLOW DOWN!!!"

"BLEAAAA!!! THE DIRT IS GETTING INTO MY MOUTH!!!"

"THERE IS DIRT IN MY EYES!!!"

"MY BEAUTIFUL HAIR IS BEING DIRTIED!!!"

Some ponies were collecting logs and tied them together to make a bundle of logs. After making several of them, the clones tied one end of a rope with the abdomen of two ponies while tying the other end of the rope with a bundle of logs. Then one clone sat on each of the bundle of logs and held a whip in his hand.

"Why are we tied with a bundle of logs?"

"And why do you have a whip?"

The clone said, "In this training, you will be forced to pull these logs with you. You all will dragged these bundles of logs towards the mountain's hill. Now, start moving."

"You can't be serious?"

"You expect us to just walk all over there while pulling these logs? Near the mountain hill?"

The clone said, "No."

The ponies sigh in relief and one said, "For a moment there, I though you were going to-"

The clone said, "I expect you to run all over there."

"We can't do that while dragging these logs."

"Yeah we can't do-"

*Whipped*

"Yeouch!!"

The clone shouted, "I said start running!! Those who slow down will be whipped by me!"

*Whipped*

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

The ponies began to run while dragging the entire bundle of logs. Several groups of ponies were forced to pull their bundles of log while the ran towards the mountain's hill. Those who were being slow were whipped by the clones which made them run faster. Also, the clones noticed that some of the ponies, mostly the mares seemed to enjoy being whipped. Weird.

A clone shouted, "Too slow! You are even slower than a turtle. Run faster!"

*Whipped*

"GHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

The clone yelled, "I bet even a snail is many more times faster than you slow pokes!"

*Whipped*

"AHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

"You demon!!!"

The clone said, "Yes. I am a demon. Now if you have energy to waste in complaining, start using that energy to run faster!"

*Whipped*

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

After an half an hour of running and dragging the bundle of logs, they finally reached the mountain's hill. The clones cut of the roped from the ponies who fell to the ground in exhaustion. The clones then picked up the logs and said, "You all have done well. However, there is still one more training left to do."

The ponies groaned at that. The clone said, "You have nothing to do in this training. You don't need to lift anything, or push anything, or bend anything. There is simply one thing you need to do in this training."

The ponies managed to get back on their hooves and look at the clones who held the logs in their hands. They saw the clones grinning which means that something is bad going to happen. Mostly to the ponies.

A clone said, "Don't die."

The ponie's eyes widen when they saw the clones throwing the logs at them. Time slowed down as the logs came closer to them. Their brain registered that they were going to die and thus, adrenaline pump through their bodies, giving them temporary enhanced reflexes and speed. With that, the ponies began to dogged as their life depends on it.

Some ponies jumped above the incoming logs while others duck under them. Some even hopped from logs to logs. The Pegasus could not use their wings as they were really tried from all of the brutal training , so they simply jumped and ducked under the incoming logs. Some ponies decided to climb on nearby tree in order to avoid the incoming logs but the clones saw this and throw their logs at the trees which broke them. The ponies who thought that they were safe on the trees were severely wrong when they found their trees breaking from the incoming logs. They all fell from the trees and right in the middle of the rolling logs.

"Watch out!!!"

"Jump now!!!"

"Lay flat on the ground!!!"

*Smack*

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

"This is so much intense!!!"

The clones said, "You all have to make your way back down from the mountain. We won't stop until you all reach there."

"This is murder!!!"

"You demon!!!"

"This isn't training!!!"

"This is torture!!!"

The clone said, "If you have energy to scream then use it to run and avoid getting crushed by these logs."

"AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

After 5 Hours Of Brutal Torture-*Smack* (Asura punch the title on the screen and changed them) Training

After training, all of the pony guards were extremely exhausted that their bodies became white as ghost. Their bodies ached in terrible pain. There were moaning in pain too. Some of them were even unconscious from all of the training. But they did it. They all survived the brutal training. Asura grabbed everyone with his hair and took them back to the castle's barrack. He put them all in beds and cast a sleeping spell on them so that they can rest and regain stamina. He also cured them of their aching muscles, so that they won't feel pain when they wake up and continue with their training.

Castle Throne Room

The princesses of Equestria were having work done with the pesky nobles of Canterlot. They hid their annoyance behind a smile and continued their work. Then suddenly.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Everyone in the throne jolted up and look around. The guards held their spear and began to check around.

"Mercy!!!"

A noble said, "What in the creator's name is going on!?"

The princesses were worried about those scream and Celestia said, "Wait here. We will go and see what that scream was all about.

Both the princesses then teleported away and came back a while later. A noble asked, "What was that scream about princess?"

Celestia said, "That was just our guards doing training."

Another noble said, "A training that makes them scream?"

Luna said, "Indeed. Our guards are being specially trained by someone special. His training will make our guards more stronger than ever before."

A noble asked, "Who is the one training them?"

Celestia said, "He shall be remain anonymous for the time being for he does not want any attention."

The nobles nodded in understanding as they won't be able to get anything out of the princesses.

Before The Tortu-err Training
Canterlot

The girls were spending their time by exploring Canterlot with the fillies and Spike. On their way, they met with Lyra and Bon Bon or was it the other way around? They all sat in a restaurant and converse with each other. The fillies and Spike were on another table and talking with each other.

Rarity said, "So Lyra. I see that you have some interest in our coltfriend."

Lyra spluttered, "What! I ... we ... no ... human ... like .."

Rarity chuckled a bit and said, "Oh its nothing to be ashamed of darling. We know how special Asura is."

Bon Bon said, "How is he special besides being a human that Lyra always fantasize about?"

Rarity said, "For one Asura acts a lot differently from any male."

Fluttershy said, "He is not mean like the stallions."

Mallow Hoof said, "He treats us with kindness."

Swift Tail said, "He freed our kingdom from the tyrant king after hearing about it from us."

Trixie said, "He gave us a home when I had nothing."

Gilda said, "He gave me my wings and a home."

Zecora said, "He will put his life on the line to protect others."

Rainbow said, "He is so awesome and cool. He does things that we can never dream of doind. Also! Did you know that he is a Ninja as well!?"

Applejack said, "He saved my granny's life and my farm."

Aloe said, "He healed our wounds and took us damaged mares into his heard."

Lotus said, "He protects and loves us. He also dealt with the one who harmed us."

Mayor Mare said, "He gave me more than what I asked for. He gave an old mare like me a family."

Pinkie said, "He always listen to me. Even when I speak in hyper speed."

Ditzy said, "He never saw me weird for my eyes and treated me like a normal mare. He even saved me from prince Blueblood."

Redheart said, "He has made cures for several incurable diseases and didn't ask for anything in return."

Spitfire said, "Me and Fleetfoot had several bad encounters with stallions but ever since we joined his herd, he has done nothing but treat us with kindness and loves us all." Fleetfoot nodded at this.

Twilight said, "Asura is really a one of a kind male who doesn't look down on females. He has even helped in training us in our magic."

To say Lyra and Bon Bon were surprise to hear such praise from the girls was unexpected. Well, for Bon Bon anyway. She thought that the human would use his charm and muscles to lure mares into his herd and be rough with them but the complete opposite happened. Bon Bon was shocked to hear how gentle he was with the girls and how he treats them with kindness. She was also surprised to hear that he wouldn't mind becoming a monster if it meant that it would save their lives. All the human ever wants is to have a big family and love the girls and protect them.

Lyra squee with joy and said, "I told you humans are amazing Bon Bon!"

Bon Bon came out of her shock and said, "Okay. I really thought that Asura would act like all of the other males but this is completely different than what I thought to be."

Rarity said, "Its all right darling. Asura is very special to us. He would go to such length to just keep us safe."

Fluttershy said, "He is very gentle and kind. He does not ever get angry with us or order us anything against our will."

Rarity said, "So darlings. Mind telling us why you are interested in our coltfriend?"

Bon Bon and Lyra started to splutter and blush. They were indeed interested in the human now that they have heard so much praise about him. They too were treated like object by the ones they thought they loved.

Lyra said, "I'll be honest with you girls. Yes I am very much interested in Asura. He even saved out lives when the monsters invaded Canterlot."

Bon Bon said, "He also carried us and run on the wall which I have to say that it was amazing."

Rainbow said, "That's Asura for you. He even save Love Tap from getting ... rape by three stallions." She said 'rape' with venom.

Lyra and Bon Bon gasped in shock. Lyra said, "Well thanks goodness that Asura saved her."

Bon Bon said in anger, "Her stallion left her as soon as Button Mash was born. That bastard. Wait Till I get my hands on him. I'll beat him into the ground."

Applejack said, "I think you have to wait in line for that."

Bon Bon asked, "Why?"

Trixie said, "After saving Love Tap, Asura escorted her to her house. Before leaving Love Tap gave a quick kiss to his cheek and went inside of her house."

Gilda said, "I'm pretty sure she would want to join Asura's herd in the near future and we are okay with it."

Bon Bon asked, "But whats that got to do with me waiting in line to beat her ex-stallion?"

Rainbow said, "When Love Tap becomes part of Asura's herd, he would love and protect her like the rest of his herd members. Not only that, if Love Tap's ex-stallion ever dare come near her again, then I'm pretty sure Asura is going to rip his balls off and shove it down his throat before giving him a major beat down!"

Rarity gasped and said, "Rainbow! Don't use crude words like that. Its unfit for a lady."

Rainbow scoff and said, "Oh come on Rarity! You would have done the same thing if a stallion got you pregnant and left you. I know I would."

As much as Rarity wanted to counter Rainbow's words, she was right. To have a stallion only be with you but leave as getting a mare pregnant was really awful. Rarity sigh and said, "Your right Rainbow. I would have definitely done that if someone got me pregnant and then left me."

Fluttershy hugged her and said, "Its okay Rarity. Asura would never do that to any of us. He loves us all and would do anything to make us happy."

Rarity hugged Fluttershy and said, "I know dear. I am glad that I can see stallions who only wanted me for my body. Asura is not like them and we are very lucky to have him in our lives."

Applejack pounded her fist and said, "I to fell for a stallion who I thought loved me but I was wrong. When I was about to beat him, he ran away. One day, I will get my hands on that lousy varmint. I just hope I can get to him first before Asura does."

Aloe said, "I think it would be Asura to reach him first Applejack."

Lotus said, "The one who abused us was a noble, Stone Heart and he encountered Asura while we were with him in Canterlot."

Bon Bon asked, "What did he do?"

Aloe said, "Well first Stone Heart said how he own our lives and that he can do whatever he wants with us. This only made Asura mad and he stood up for us and face Stone Heart. He said that we were his friends and warned him to stay away from us but Stone Heart didn't listen and threaten to banish him from Equestria."

Lyra asked with excitement, "What happen next!? Did he pummeled him or something!?"

Lotus said, "Oh he did more than a simple beating. Asura punched Stone Heart so hard that he buried that prick into the ground and knocked him out. I'm pretty sure he crushed Stone Heart's muzzle and on top of that, Asura even made the guards arrest the noble!"

Lyra did an air fist and said, "Yeah! Way to go Asura! I knew humans are awesome!"

Bon Bon said with wide eyes, "Really!? A noble was arrested!?"

Twilight said, "Wouldn't the guards be in trouble in arresting a noble?"

Aloe said, "I think that the guards were more afraid of Asura than the noble."

Applejack said, "I believe that. We saw how he discipline the guards all by himself."

Lyra asked, "How did he disciplined them?"

Gilda said, "You should have seen it by your own eyes. I still can't believe he did that."

Lyra said, "What? What did he do!? Come on! Tell me! Please?" She did the puppy dog eyes.

Rainbow said, "Only the most awesome coltfriend can do that."

Swift Tail said, "Asura kind of half buried every guard in the ground, wall and ceilings."

Rainbow said, "And speaking of ceilings, did you know that he could jump in air!?"

Bon Bon asked, "What! How can he do that!? That goes against the laws of physic!"

Applejack said, "It was a pretty amazing skill he did there. Asura could literally keep on jumping in air as much as he wants. What was the skill name called? Guppo? Glucko?"

Twilight said, "Its "Geppo" Applejack."

Applejack said, "Yeah that. He did that to reach the flying Pegasus and thrown them into the ground and ceilings."

Bon Bon asked, "Even the female guards?"

The girls begin to laugh at that which confused Lyra and Bon Bon. Rainbow said, "He didn't hurt them but what he did to them was really funny."

Pinkie said, "Yeah! What Asura did was really something!"

Lyra asked, "What did he do?"

Rainbow said, "Asura took one of my feather and multiplied them into hundreds of them. Then he controlled them to tickle every female guard and didn't stop until they all fell on the ground exhausted from laughing. Bwhahahahahahahaha!"

Lyra said, "Seriously!? That is so funny! Hahahahahaha!"

They talk for a while and Rarity asked them, "So Lyra, Bon Bon. Do you have any interest in joining Asura's herd?"

Lyra and Bon Bon both blush and look down. Lyra said, "I ... would like to ... join Asura's herd. I mean that I have been fantasizing about humans and here he is! A human! But I don't want to join just because of that reason. I think I genuinely have started to have feelings for him ever since we met at Sweet Apple Acre. He didn't treated me like a fool or called me crazy for my dreams of meeting a human. The way Asura smile and held me in those strong arms was really something. I think ... I am in love girls."

The girls smile and look at Bon Bon for an answer. Bon Bon said, "I don't know girls. I mean we only met like two times? Even though you all praise Asura so much, I need some time to decide."

Lyra pouted and said, "Come on Bon Bon. You saw how awesome he is. How he came to us when the monsters were about to kill us. Don't you want to be hugged by his strong arms. They were so warm that just makes you want to snuggle into his hug and cuddle up to him."

Bon Bon blush at that. She really did like his hug when she was being transported to the castle. Also, she felt safe with him. She thought about it for a while and said, "Okay Lyra. I will see how good is being with Asura. But if he turns out like the other stallions then I and you will leave the herd. Okay?"

Lyra pouted at first but nodded a while later. They continued their conversation for a while when suddenly Rainbow said, "Hey girls! Do you hear that?"

The girls were quite as they tried to listen what Rainbow heard. Mayor Mare said, " I don't hear anything."

Rainbow shush them and said, "There it is again. Listen closely."

They all listen closely and after a while they heard something. Something that sounded like a scream.

Fluttershy said, "Who could be screaming like that?"

Pinkie said, "Oh its like the ponies in Asura's "Monster Hunter" squad are being trained by Asura special training. Some ponies are being roasted on top of a fire, some are being electrocuted, some are becoming a statue, some are getting the day light scare out of them while some are dogging logs for their dear lives!"

Everyone look at Pinkie in confusion. Rainbow asked, "How you know that?"

Pinkie pointed towards us, the Readers and said, "The Readers!"

They all look at what she was pointing at but found nothing. Then they all shook their heads at Pinkie being Pinkie.

Rainbow said, "I'll go take a look at what those screams are about."

Before anyone could stop her, Rainbow flew out of Canterlot and towards the training area where the screams are coming from. The girls waited for Rainbow to return and after a while, she did. Everyone saw that she had a face full of disbelief.

Rainbow look at Pinkie and asked, "Pinkie. How did you know all of that?"

Everyone were now looking at Rainbow and Twilight asked, "Wait your serious? What Pinkie said was true?"

Rainbow nodded and Pinkie pouted. She said, "Huff. I don't lie Twilight. You should know that."

Twilight ears went flat and look a bit sad. She said, "Sorry Pinkie. Its just that sometimes you just randomly say things out of nowhere. So is got us into a bit of a trouble."

Pinkie quickly hugged her and said, "Its okay Twilight! I forgive you! And also, like I said before, I know things because of the Readers!"

Applejack asked, "What are the Readers Pinkie?"

Pinkie said, "That's just it Applejack. They are the Readers and nothing more!"

Rainbow grabbed her head and said, "My brain hurts."

Applejack said, "If you even have a brain at all."

Rainbow said in anger, "Hey!"

Everyone laugh at that and Rainbow pouted cutely.
