When morning came, sunlight seeped through the cottage's window and onto the sleeping face of Asura which woke him from his peaceful slumber. He looked at his surrounding and saw the animals were still sleeping. He carefully got up and stretched his limbs which emitted some cracks. After that, his stomach growled, alerting him that he is hungry. He walk into the kitchen to find something to eat when he got a brilliant idea. In Toriko's Gourmet world, there are all kinds of food that were thousand time delicious than the food of his old world. He think of the vegetables he want from Vegetable Sky a location from Toriko's Gourmet world.

He then summoned some vegetables and made a dish out of them. When he took a bite out of his food, several delicious flavors exploded in his mouth which got him in to a bliss like state and ate the rest. This just proved that his old world's food was nothing but shit compared the Toriko's Gourmet world food. Another reason to despise his old world.

After eating his fill, Asura wanted to thank Fluttershy for letting him stay in her house for the night and what better way to thank her is to make some delicious food for her. He summoned TG (Toriko's Gourmet world) vegetables and fruits and made a vegetable dish and salad for Fluttershy. He also made some animal feed for her little animal friends.

While he was making the food, Fluttershy came down in her night gown from her slumber. She was still a little sleepy but when she saw him making food and some for her animal's, she smiled at this but was also surprised because there were only a handful of ponies who like to cook. He was not only kind but strong, gentle and handsome. Her whole face blushed at that though and when she saw him turning his head towards her, she immediately hid her face behind her mane or at least tried to.

When Asura turned to place the food on the table, he saw Fluttershy standing there in her night gown which made him speechless. She look like an angel sent from the Haven above. She had a perfect hour figure and probably the biggest set of breast he has seen.

They both were silent for a few moments when Asura greeted her, "Good morning Fluttershy. How are you feeling." He then saw her cheek turn red and became worried, "Your cheeks are red Fluttershy. Are you okay?" He rubbed his right hand on her left cheek.

If Fluttershy's face wasn't red before then it only got redder with him rubbing his hand on her cheek. She gently shook her head and shyly said, "I-I am okay. Its just the morning heat."

Asura said, "Okay but if you ever feel sick or just need help then you just come to me okay. I help you with what ever you want with." This made her blush again.

She was again taken back with his kind words and smiled, "Thank you." Her heart began to beat fast and a feeling started to blossom inside her that made her want to be with him.

Asura smile and said, "As a thank you for letting me stay in your house for the night, I have made you breakfast. I also made some feed for you animal friends as well."

Fluttershy thanked him and went over to the table. Asura held out a chair for her to sit which made her blush. She sat on the chair Asura held for her and started to eat her breakfast. Just as he expected, when Fluttershy took a bite out of her food, her eyes went wide with different flavors swimming in her mouth. She happily ate the rest of her food and said. "That was very delicious. Thank you."

Asura smiled and said, "Your welcome Fluttershy. I am going to feed the rest of your animals and can I ask a favor from you if you don't mind?"

Fluttershy got a little nervous at what he was going to ask but answered, "Yes you can ask me anything .... if I am able to help you with it that is."

Asura asked, "Do you know anyone that might be selling some land so I can purchase it and make my house there?"

Hearing this Fluttershy was both happy and sad at the same time. Happy that he did not asked something bad from her but sad that he was not going to stay in her house as she felt safe with him. Maybe she can change that in the future.

Fluttershy said, "Well if your looking to buy a land then you will need to go to Mayor Mare at the Town Hall. I lead you to her myself after I change my clothes .... if you don't mind waiting that is."

Asura answered, "It no problem at all Fluttershy. Take as long as you want. I'll just wait for you by the door." With that she went upstairs to get changed.

After a short time, Fluttershy came down wearing her casual clothes. When Asura was ready to go out the door, he was stopped by Fluttershy's soft voice, "Asura, can you wait for a second. I have something to say .... if you don't mind."

Asura looked at her and saw she was fidgeting. He gently said with a smile, "Fluttershy. You can tell me anything you want and I promise that I won't be uncomfortable with what you say."

Fluttershy instead of saying anything, immediately hugged him and buried her face in his chest and started to cry a little. She said while sobbing, "Thank *sob* you for saving *sob* the fillies and our lives. I was so scared *sob* when the monsters came to *sob* to take us away. I didn't know what to do and *sob* I lost hope. It was like darkness surrounding us and *sob* started to swallow us. But then *sob* then you came. You pulled us out of the darkness and saved us. You shine as bright as the sun and erased the surrounding darkness. So *sob* thank you. Thank you so much*sob* *sob* *sob* *sob* *sob* ."

Asura was really taken back of the way she described him as and seeing her in this fragile state really broke his heart. He then gently hugged her and said, "Fluttershy. I am so sorry that you have to experience that when there wasn't anything the others couldn't do. However, now that I have come to this world, I promise with my life that I will protect this world from all those who would wish to do harm. And I also promise you that I will protect you and your friends as well and help you whenever I can."

They stood there for a short time when Fluttershy's crying came to a stop. While he hugged Fluttershy. she felt safe in his arms and felt like butterflies were fluttering in her stomach. Is this love she thought. She thought about Asura that he is strong, protected her and her friends, kind towards all of them and extremely gentle with her. Yes this must be love and she wants to ask him to be her special somepony but was afraid that he might reject her cause of him and her being different species. In the end, she swallowed down her fears and decided to see what happens and hope that everything would turn out OK.

Fluttershy looked up at Asura who was still hugging her and said, "Asura. There .... there is something else that I .... I want to ask you .... if you don't mind that is."

Asura looked down at her and smiled, "Of course Fluttershy. You can ask me anything you want."

Fluttershy shyly asked while blushing, "Will .... will you be my .... special somepony?"

Asura did not know what she meant by this, so he asked her, "What is a special somepony?"

Fluttershy answered shyly, "Its when a m-mare loves a stallion and w-want to be in a relationship with him."

Asura was shocked that she want to be his lover. He has never loved other girls beside his mother and sister. However, when he saw the show "My little pony: Friendship is Magic" he started to love the main characters and some others. So will it be alright for him to love her and start a family here in this world.

When Fluttershy saw him lost in his thought and didn't received an answer, tears started to come out of her eyes because she thought that he didn't want to be with her. She said tearfully, "I'm sorry. I should have n-never have asked you something l-like that. I-I'll understand if you don't want to be my friend anym-"

She was cut off when she felt Asura's lips meet her lips. At first she was surprised but then closed her eyes and leaned into his kiss. She was in a state of bliss and did not to let go of him if she had to.

After a few moments of kissing, they released their kiss and stare at each other. Then Asura said with a smile, "I would be happy to be your special somepony Fluttershy."

When Fluttershy heard this, tears of happiness were streaming down from her eyes. She then hugged him and buried her face in his broad chest. She was feeling like she was the happiest mare in the world. After hugging for a short, Asura left Fluttershy's house with her towards Ponyville to meet with Mayor Mare.

While they were walking through the town, the ponies that were out of their houses saw Asura and waved and greeted him and thanked him again for saving their lives. He also learned from her that she was a Pegasus pony while those with a horn are called unicorns ponies. Those who do not possess any wings and horn are called earth ponies.

After walking for some time, they arrived at their destination. They went in and saw a mare sitting in front of a desk. When see saw Asura, she stand up and greeted him who in return greeted her. He asked is he can meet with Mayor Mare for some business. She directed him to the next room.

When Asura entered the next room and meet with a mare who introduced herself, "Hello Asura. I am the mayor of Ponyville, Mayor Mare. And I want to thank you for saving this town along with everyone's lives. How can I help you?"

Asura saw how well aged she looked but despite that, she still look beautiful. He asked, "Miss Fluttershy informed me that you can sell me some land where I can build my house."

Mayor Mare nodded, "Yes I have some lands to sell. How much land do you want to buy?"

He asked, "The largest piece of land please."

This shocked her and asked in a worry tone, "Yes we do have one very large piece of land but it is very expensive that nopony has been able to buy it since Ponyville was made."

Asura assured her with a smile, "Its alright Mayor Mare. In my line of work, we are paid extreme amount of money." That is true because in Toriko's Gourmet world, if you bring in ingredients that are difficult to find then you would be paid handsomely.

She was shocked at this news but accepted his answer. She then brought out a map of Ponyville and said, "The largest piece of land is below the park right here" pointing the location on the map. She continued, "This piece of land is will cost you about 50,000 bits."

The land is between "The Park", "The School" and "The Rock Pile".

Asura know that bits are small gold coins but not its value so he asked her, "How much is 1 gold bar worth?"

She answered, "About 10,000 bits." He then reached into his coat and created 5 gold bars which he gave them to Mayor Mare. She was surprised to see the gold bars and said, "Well you weren't kidding when you said you were paid handsomely." She took the gold bars and placed them in a safe. Then she brought Asura the deed to the land to which he accept it. He also asked for a copy of the map of Ponyville to which she did.

After buying the land, he said goodbye to Mayor Mare and exited Town Hall. When he was about to leave, he turned back to Mayor Mare and told her, "If any problem occurs that you may need some help with, then you can come ask me for help." She thanked him for his offer. With that he left.

When Asura came outside, he saw that Fluttershy was waiting for him. He came to her and asked, "Well Fluttershy, I got the land I wanted and now I am free for the time being. What would you like to do?"

Fluttershy shyly answered, "Well, how about I give you a tour of Ponyville. That way you can also meet my friends."

Asura said, "That is a very good idea. Lets go then." They walked through the town and looked at many different places. While they were walking Pinkie Pie suddenly appeared out of nowhere which surprised Asura because he did not hear a single sound she made.

Pinkie Pie said in a cheerily voice, "Good morning Asura. How are you this fine morning?"

Asura answered with a smile, "I am fine Pinkie Pie. How are you today?"

Pinkie Pie giggled and said, "I am feeling super duper fine and you can just call me Pinkie. Also I will be planning to give you a "Welcome To Ponyville And Thank You For Saving us" party later."

Asura chuckled and said, "Alright Pinkie but I have a favor to ask of you." He then brought out the map of Ponyville and asked her, "I want you to gather your friends and meet me here (pointed the location of his new home) as quickly as you can."

Pinkie accepted his request and with a salute she disappeared right in front of his eyes. He could have sworn he saw the outline of her body to where she was standing. He shrugged his shoulder and went to his newly purchased land with Fluttershy.

Fluttershy asked him why he wanted to gather her friends at the land to which he answered, "It will be a grand surprise for all of them."

She then asked him another question regarding his land, "When will you start building your new house?"

Asura smiled and answered, "That too is included in the surprise that I will be giving to you and your friends."

When Fluttershy and Asura reached their destination, he saw the rest of her friends along with the CMC and Spike were waiting there for their arrival. They walked towards them and greeted them. After greeting was done, Pinkie asked, "Now that we are all here, can you please show the surprise you have prepared. Please please please!" She hugged him while looking up to him with huge puppy dog eyes which almost made him go "dawwww".

Rainbow Dash said, "Yeah. I wanted to see what all this surprise is about."

Rarity said, "Me to darling. I am looking forward to your surprise as Pinkie literally dragged all of us here."

Applejack nodded and said, "I was working on the field when I saw a pink blur and the next thing I notice is that I was here with pinkie saying something about a surprise or something."

Finally Twilight said, "And I was reading a good book when I heard a knock on my door. When I opened it and just blinked, here I am with no idea how."

Asura laughed at Pinkie's antic and ruffled her hair. He then answered, "I want to show you all my newly purchased land which we all are standing on."

This shocked everyone even Fluttershy who were all staring at him with eyes wide a dinner plates. Fluttershy knew that he purchased a land for his new house but she never expected him to buy the biggest and most expensive land in Ponyville.

The other soon came out of their shock and started asking him if he was joking to which he simply showed them the deed to the land. After they calmed down, Rainbow Dash asked, "What about your house? When will you start building it?"

Asura simply said, "Right now."

This confused them and Applejack asked, "Pardon me partner but we don't see any working crew here for building your house."

He answered, "There aren't any because I don't need them. I am more than enough for building my own house." This again shocked them that he was going to build an entire house by himself.

Twilight said, "That can't be true. It will take you a long time to finish your house."

Asura laugh and said, "Just watch and learn Twilight. Now, all of you please get behind me."

The other ponies and dragon were confused as to why he said that but then they all moved behind him. Asura was now facing the entire land that he has purchased which was a very large and wide area. He wanted to use every part of the land for his house and began to think what he wanted to build. After a short time of thinking he finally came up with the designs for his new house. He spread his legs a little and started gathering a large amount of energy into his hands. After he gather the energy, he quickly made some hands and brought his hands together. Then he brought both of his hands onto the ground and shouted "Wood Style Grand House Formation".

After saying that, the ground started to tremble which scared the ponies and dragon. Soon thousands of large tree like roots raised from the ground and started to join each other and started taking the shape of a house. When the roots finally stopped forming into a building, they were shocked and awe at what they were seeing. What they saw was not a house but a huge mansion that was really beautiful that took away their breath.

If that wasn't enough, Asura even made a huge beautiful pool where he and his friends can come and relax.

Asura was satisfied with his work and looked back at his friends and saw their mouth opened to the brim and eyes full of disbelief. He snapped them out of their shock by snapping his fingers and said, "So, who wants a tour of my new house?"

They were silent for a few seconds then started to ask him a ton of questions about what just happened and he simply answered, "I have a skill that allows me to control all plant and trees. That is how I made my house."

With the question answered, they all made their way into his house. The inside was huge with more than 50 rooms but the house did not had any furniture so he simply created some and decorated his house. After having explored his house, they felt hungry and went to eat at a restaurant.

While walking, Asura asked the mares, "Hey girls and Spike. How old are all of you if you don't mind me asking?"

They didn't mind and told him their age. Twilight was 18, Rarity was 17, Fluttershy was 18, Rainbow was 17, Applejack was 18, Pinkie Pie was 17 and Spike was 12. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were 12 years old. He was surprised when Twilight told him about their life span. Earth ponies can live up to 1000 years, Pegasus can live up to 1200 and Unicorns can live up to 1500. Dragons can live up to several thousands of years. The Alicorns are immortal thus living forever.

Asura was shocked to here that they have such a long life span. Humans can only live up to 80 to 110 if they are lucky. But what about him? He now posses magic and his virus can stop him from aging. So he can safely say that he too can live a very long life.

When they arrived at the restaurant they were surprised to see it closed with a note on the front door saying "I am sorry that I have to closed the restaurant due to the monster attack. I will be heading to Manehattan and open my restaurant there."

The ponies and dragon were sad that the restaurant the would together at was now closed forever and their stomach growled for food. Pinkie whined and said, "Aw, now where are we suppose to eat because my tummy need food" and pouted cutely.

Asura chuckled at her child like nature and said, "Why don't you all come to my house. I'll cook some food for you all."

This shocked them and Rainbow Dash asked, "You can cook?" Asura nodded. She continued, "But your a guy!"

He confusedly said, "Yes I can cook. What does that have to do with me being a guy?"

Twilight answered, "Because we mares are the ones who cook for the stallion. Its unheard of a stallion to cook or at least have any interest in cooking."

Asura smiled and said, "Well, that is where you are wrong Twilight. I am not a stallion. I am a human. And as for my cooking skill, why don't you ask Fluttershy about the taste of my dishes."

With that they all walked to his house while the ponies were asking Fluttershy how good a cook he is. Fluttershy shyly answered, "Well girls, when I took a bite from his dish, it was like a bunch of flavors were dancing around in my mouth. It was so delicious that I can just eat it forever."

After hearing Fluttershy's answer, they were all looking forward to tasting Asura's food. When they arrived at his house, Asura took them to the dining room where they waited while he went into the kitchen. He first created a huge fridge and filled it with all kinds of TG vegetables, fruits and meat. Then with the help of his reality warping, he learned all recipes from Toriko's Gourmet world.

After learning the recipes, he started to make vegetarian dishes for the mares. As for Spike, he learned that he likes to eat gems so he created some rubies, emerald, sapphire and diamond, and crushed them into powdered form with his bare hand. He then used this powder in into cooking a dish for Spike. After 10 minutes of cooking, he brought them to the dining room and placed them on the table. The ponies and dragon were surprised to see many different kinds of dishes and some which they had never seen before. They started to drool from the fragrance coming from the food.

Asura said, "Well what are you all waiting for. Dig in." and when they did, their eyes went wide and started to moan with pleasure. Spike really liked his jewel crusted dish. When they were busy devouring their food, Fluttershy came over to Asura and sat close to him and leaned on his shoulder. He saw this and with a smile, warp an arm around her which made her blush.

When the others saw this, Rainbow Dash said coyly, "Wow Fluttershy. Already making a move on him are you." This made her blush even more and hid her face behind her mane and let out a cute "eep".

Rarity spoke, "Rainbow darling. Would you please leave the poor mare alone. Can't you see your making her uncomfortable."

Pinkie's hair deflated looking sad and said, "Aww. And here I thought I can be with a super duper hunk of a stallion."

The rest of the mares minus Fluttershy and Rarity who were blushing shouted, "Pinkie!".

Pinkie then exclaimed, "What! You were all thinking about being with Asura. He is strong, smart and can cook. He has been nothing but kind and gentle towards us. And did I mentioned that he can cook."

Asura was surprised that not just Fluttershy but even her friends have fallen for him. Well except for Rarity who didn't said anything but was blushing and glanced in his direction when he was not looking at her. But they also looked little bit sad thinking that they were not the first to ask him out.

After an few minutes of silence, Fluttershy shyly spoke, "Well .... you all can form a .... a herd with him and since your my friends, I won't mind ... if you don't mind that is." She spoke the last part to Asura.

Asura who did not had any idea what they were talking about asked Fluttershy, "Excuse me Fluttershy but what is this herd thing your talking about?"

She was not able to answer as she was blushing up a storm. In her place Twilight answered, "Before I answer your question, can you first tell me what are relationships like back on your world?"

He answered, "Back in my world, once a person find someone who they love, they will stick with them and no one else. Why would you need to ask that? Is it not the same thing here?"

Twilight was intrigue with this information and continues, "Well, here in Equestria due to male population being low, mares outnumber stallions by 10 to 1. So a stallion can have multiple relationship with different mares.

He was surprised at the information then it suddenly hit him and said aloud, "That would explain why I only saw a few males while walking around Ponyville. I just though that they were out on vacation or something."

Asura then looked at the mares and saw in their eyes which was filled with hope of being with him. He then looked at Fluttershy whose eyes were also filled with hope for him to accept them.

He then sigh and said, "Okay girls. Since you all want to be with me then I think I will give this herd thing a try." This replace their sad face with a huge smile and even cheered for it. Asura then said, "But I have to warn you. I am new to this whole multiple lovers thing, so if I do anything wrong or something to upset you, then you can just tell me about it and I will fix it up OK."

This got a smile from them and accepted it and then hugged him. Except for Rarity who was looking at him with a thoughtful expression while Spike was looking at her with a sad face.

After finishing their food, they spend some time talking to Asura about different things such as what he did back in his world. Well, he changed his old world with Toriko's Gourmet world and made his own story.

Remembering Zebura's life, he told them, "My world is bless with untold amounts of different ingredients ranging from plants to different types of animals. But with every blessing comes a price. In my world, there are countless numbers of different types of monsters who have a taste for human flesh. They sometime come into the human world (where all the humans live) and feasted on our kind. It was a dark time where humans had no mean to defend themselves. To the monsters, we humans were nothing more than food for them."

The ponies and dragon became very sad as they hear him talk about how his kind were suffering through dark times. Fluttershy was crying and was being comforted by Rarity who had tears fall down from her eyes while Rainbow Dash and Applejack had very sad faces. Pinkie's mane became straight and was crying a river. Twilight was writing his story on a piece of paper while also crying a bit. Thanks to his virus, Applejack could not detect his lies. Even though he lied, it was for a better life by forgetting his old world, mix his life with Toriko's Gourmet world in order to live in this world and protect it.

Their sadness were lit when Asura said, "However, there was one person who discovered a way to make ourselves stronger when he discovered a particular DNA called Gourmet Cell from a very rare organism deep in the ocean. What so special about this cell is that when implanted inside a human, the cell will evolve their bodies, thus becoming stronger and faster. However, only a few thousand humans out of 12 billion were compatible with the Gourmet Cell. There is also a requirement in order to evolve the human body. The cells need proteins. Lots and lots of proteins. The humans first started to eat vegetables and fruit but did very little. They then started to eat wild life but it still wasn't enough. After eating so many different things, they did not evolved that much but were still stronger than normal humans. They didn't know what to eat in order to evolve their bodies further."

The mares and dragon were listening intently to his story and as he continued they became more and more interested with his world history.

Asura continued, "However, that all changed one day when a monster came into a village to feast on the humans but that did not go well for it. The monster that arrived was not that strong and was killed by a group of evolved humans. After killing the monster together, one evolved human decided to eat the monster's flesh."

When they heard that, they become a little green but continued to listen, waiting to hear what happened next. Asura continued, "After that evolved human ate some of the monster's flesh, that human evolved rapidly becoming stronger by leaps and bounds. Later when scientist study the monster's corpse, it was discovered that the monster's flesh were packed with concentrated amount of high proteins. From then on, evolved humans started to go out of their town and started hunting the monsters. The monsters that the humans were fearful of became the hunted. Soon the numbers of evolved humans started to increase and the human world became a safe place due to them. This is the current era I came from."

The mares and dragon were all astonished at what the humans had gone through and what they have accomplished through their suffering. Then Rainbow Dash said, "Wow. If you can become stronger by eating other monsters then we can do the same thing."

Applejack asked, "What are you talking about sugercube?"

Rainbow Dash said, "Duh. Isn't it obvious. With this Gourmet Cell, we can become stronger and protect ourselves and other ponies from the monsters."

When she said this, the others were surprised at her logic and agreed with her. Rainbow Dash then asked him, "So can you please give us this Gourmet Cell so we can become stronger."

Asura frowned at that because of the danger Gourmet Cell possess. He answered, "I'm sorry Rainbow Dash but that is something I cannot do."

The others were a bit sad about that but Rainbow Dash got annoyed and said, "Why can't you give it to us. Don't you want us to get stronger and defend for ourselves! Or is it that you just want to be the strongest."

The mares and dragon were aghast by what she said and were about to reprimanded her but Asura beat them to it and said, "That is not the case Rainbow Dash. I am not going to give any of you the Gourmet Cell as it not only dangerous to yourself but others as well."

Rainbow Dash got annoyed and shouted at him, "What could be more dangerous than the monsters that attacked us and enslaving us!"

Asura was silent for a few seconds then calmly said, "From becoming a monster yourself."

This confuse everyone which made Twilight asked, "What do you mean that one can become a monster itself?"

Asura looked around at everyone. He sighted and said, "The Gourmet Cell is a double edge blade."

Twilight asked, "How can that be when it is the very thing that made you humans stronger?"

Asura answered, "There is one essential information that I didn't tell you about the Gourmet Cell." He looked at Rainbow Dash and asked, "You remember when I said that there were very few humans that are compatible with the Gourmet Cell." She nodded. He continued, "While the Gourmet Cell did indeed made those compatible humans stronger but what I did not tell you all about is what happened to those who were not compatible with the Gourmet Cell."

This again confused them at what he was saying. Rainbow Dash asked irritably, "What happened to them? Did they got stronger or weaker?"

They were all waiting for his answer but what he said next terrified them. Asura answered, "They become blood thirsty monsters and start killing their friends and family."

He saw that they were both terrified and confused at his answer so he explained it to them. "Let me explain it all from the beginning. Do you all remember when I first appeared to save all of you?" They nodded. "Did you happen to see a monstrous figure behind me?" They again nodded. "That is what you can call a Gourmet Demon."

They were again sacred of what he informed them of this. To the ponies, Demons are nothing more than blood thirsty monsters who were banished to the depth of Tartarus by the princess 2000 years ago.

Asura continued, "In every living being there are always two sides, one good side that compels you to do the right thing while the other one is the bad side that compels you to do the wrong thing. When a Gourmet Cell is infused into a compatible human, it awakens both your good and bad sides and merged them into one being and manifest them into a Gourmet Demon. The compatible human can manifest them and together they fight other enemies. In return, the Gourmet Demon will evolve their bodies much further than before. Even give them some rare abilities."

This information was both good and bad news to the ponies and dragon. The good news was that they could get much much stronger but the bad news was having a demon inside of you. But what Asura said next would even scare away their nightmares.

Asura continued, "However, when a Gourmet Cell is infused into a non compatible human, then the Gourmet Demon will be created from only the bad side, an evil demon which will then take over the human body and transform them into an abomination that will eat any living thing is site. Even if they were its own family. There were many idiots who were power hungry and forcefully infused the Gourmet Cell in their bodies, thinking they will become the strongest and rule the world. Bunch of idiots. All they got is turning into hideous monsters and started rampaging around the town for a short while until they got killed by other evolved humans. What more is that once a human is turned into a monster, they will lose their minds and can never return to their human form ever again. The humans don't devour their corpses but instead they burn it by fire and scatter their ashes."

He then looked at the rest of them and saw how terrified they were, even Rainbow Dash who had nearly all her colors drained from her face. Seeing this, he then told her, "Do you now understand why I won't give any of you the Gourmet Cell. It is so you won't become a monster and start hurting your friends. And most of all" he lowered his head and said softly "I don't want to lose any of you at all". He remembered how he lost his mother and sister and tears started to fell from his eyes.

As first the mares were surprised at how much he cared about them but when they heard what he said in the end and saw his tears, they immediately ran towards him and gave him a group hug. Never before in their life have they seen a stallion as caring as he was. Almost all of the stallions saw mares as objects of desire while those who didn't think like that, still treated them like they were better than them. Except for a few stallions who treated mares with respect like Big Mac and Braeburn. Males always show their superiority by not showing their weaker side but here is Asura, who may very well be the strongest male in Equestria, is crying for the safety and well being of his friends. This really touched their hearts and made them feel butterflies fluttering in their stomach and felt safe when they were hugging him.

After a short time in comforting him, they each gave him a kiss on his cheek, even Rarity, and said that nothing is going to happen to them because he would protect them no matter what. This made Asura happy and hugged them as well.

After that, he saw that it was almost night time, so he personally escorted each of them to their houses who thanked him in returned. Fluttershy was the last one he escorted to her house. When they reached her house, Fluttershy hugged him and gave a goodnight kiss on his lips and went into her house. He started to feel really happy with how his life is turning out to be except for the monsters that he will soon be facing in the future. But all in all, its better than his old shitty life. He then returned to his house and went to bed. He closed his eyes and got ready for sleep to take over his mind.

Slave Camp

In a place far away from Ponyville, a place called Ghastly Gorge was a slave camp. The ones who run this place were the Diamond dogs and their leader Bark Bite. They had kidnapped many ponies and even a Griffin and forced them to mine gems deep below the ground.

Deep below the ground there was a room where many of the kidnapped individuals were kept as slaves. They were are exhausted from mining gems for the dogs who didn't even fed them properly. Many wished in their sleep to see the clear sky again and bait under the sunlight. In the corner of the room was a azure colored unicorn with silver hair and a female griffin who hugged each other in order to keep themselves warm. They both were taken by the dogs when they were inside the forest. Both of them have done something they regret and want to rectify their wrong doing.

The azure unicorn said sadly, "Please someone, help use get out of here and I'll apologize to that purple unicorn whom I consider a rival."

The griffin said with tears falling from her eyes, "Me too. I need to make up with my former friend for being mean towards her other friends. Please whoever is out there, I beg you, please help us."

With that they fell asleep and pray that they would be rescued from this life of slavery.

Asura's House

What he heard only made him angry but it was too dark to see so he made a mental note to search for them in the morning. He angrily said, "I hear .... your voice. Just wait for a little longer." Then he fell asleep and waited impatiently for morning to arrive.
