After many many good byes and suffocating breasts hugs from his friends. Geez, its good to be shorter than these beings. Mystogan makes his way out of Twilight's castle. Turning to wave good bye to his friends.

"Don't worry Mystogan, I will be coming to visit you every week, Promise!"

Rarity called out to him.

"Just go to the address I handed to you Rarity, you will find me there. Just write tome before you come so I can get there before you do."

"Will do darling, be safe. And congrats again!"

"Thank you all. Hope to see you all again very soon."

He turns away and starts walking. Pinkie pulls out a large megaphone.

"DON'T FORGET TO WRIIIIIIITE!!!"

As he vanishes into the teleporting light, she looks back to her friends, who had their hands covering their ears.

"Do you think he heard me?"

--Canterlot Castle, Female Guard Barracks--

Now with proper authorization, Mystogan walks through the barracks and to his unit's room, knocking on the door and awaiting an answer. He felt the eyes of the lingering off duty guardsmares starring at him, wondering what he was doing there exactly. A few moments later, the door opens and a smiling mare greetings him.

"Captain Raven, sir! We have been eagerly awaiting your arrival! Please do come in and get yourself set up!"

"Good afternoon Shimmering. Good to see you and the others."

The guardsmares around the hallway watched in shock as he entered their room. And did they just call him....Captain?! What in the name of all Equestria is going on here?!. He walked in and was greeting with bis smiles and hugs from his unit. He smiled to them and reached up,petting each one gently on the head and taking his things to his room, making it his own little space. They watched him from the threshold, he didn't have many things, but one thing did surprise them when he got it out of mid air.

"EIsbrecher, come forth."

He said as he held his hand out. The hilt of the greatsword appeared in his hand. He grips it and hands it against the wall opposite of his bed, seems like a weapon was hung here before, and it appears to be able to hold it just fine, good. As he continues unpacking, the mares eye the sword with fascination. leaning in more to get a better look.

"You know ladies, you can come in and get closer if you want to look at it. Just...try not to pick it up. It took five of my friends to get it to me, and they even struggled with it."

They nod and quickly make their way over to the large blade resting on the wall, as they got closer, they could feel the icy cold radiating from it, almost afraid to touch it. After Mystogan placed his belongings in the desired spots, hanging up his coat and scarf as well, he turns to the four mares.

"Alright ladies, time to get down to business. First things first. Go and get your training gear on. I want to see what you can do. Meet me outside whenever you are all ready."

"Sir!"

They all said as he walked out of the room and the barracks, standing over by the sparring rings. As he waited, he couldn't help but feel eyes on him.

"Hey look, its the god eater Raven."

"I heard about him, he supposedly killed off that dragon that attacked the castle last month"

"I also heard he is staying in the mares' barrack. Lucky little bastard. I bet he gets to have them all to himself."

"Well, what else are they good for besides cooking and cleaning? A mare shouldn't be in the army, yet they have them here."

Mystogan's blood was starting to boil already, steam rising off his body as the cold air hits him.

"I heard a different story, bud."

He said as he looked over to the two guardsstallions. They both look at him.

"I heard that the four who are assigned to me are the strongest in the core...stronger than you, apparently. And you don't acknowledge them for it. Is it because it will hurt your fragile pride to do so?"

"What did you say to me, brat?"

The large stallion said as he approached Mystogan, drawing his sword and holding the tip to his neck. Mystogan's eyes shot up towards the stallion, unphased by the weapon threatening his flesh.

"You heard me. It would shatter your ego to admit they are stronger than the whole male division of the guard. And you are proving me right even more with your pointless threats with your flimsy knife there. Put it away before I lose my patience. I am waiting on my unit so I can spar with them."

Suddenly the hilt of the blade he was carrying struck across Mystogan's face, causing a bit of blood to fall from his mouth, making him stagger back a bit. The guardsstallion laughed at him with a cocky grin.

"You were saying? You little prick?"

Mystogan regained his balance, glaring at the larger male and spitting the blood from his mouth onto the snow.

"Geez, you call that a hit? Small class aragami are more of a threat than you are."

The larger male was getting frustrated at Mystogan's wise cracks. He brings his sword back and lunges at him angrily.

"I am gonna end you, you little fucker."

Just as the blade comes within inches of his face, Mystogan grabs the blade with a hand, stopping it and squeezing it, a small trail of blood flowing down the blade's edge.

"You listen to me, you over grown musclehead. Should I choose to throw you over the castle walls and to the city below. I will do it without hesitation. But, it will be done because YOU picked the fight with me first."

Then middle of the blade suddenly snaps in half as Mystogan breaks the blade. Turning it around and shoving it into the male's right leg, and deep. He lets out a howl of pain as he falls to the ground, Mystogan putting his foot onto the blade and pushing it deeper.

"Do you still want to go on with this, lowlife?"

All he heard was another cry of pain as the broken blade was pushed deeper, the other guarsstallion walking up to him with a hand out.

"C-come on man...he is just an idiot...show him some mercy..."

"I will show mercy, when you show the female guard some respect for a change. They fight just as hard as you do, and risks their lives just as you do."

He said as he gave the large male a swift kick to the ribs, sending him sliding across the snow.

"Take your friend to the medical wing. And be sure to give the full TRUE story of what happened here. As others around here have gathered to watch. So you say one wrong thing about this mess, I have witnesses."

He nods quickly and helps his friend up, the stallion limping away in pain as he glares at Mystogan, He glared back,his glare being a bit more fear filling though. He sees his unit running out with concerned looks on their faces, obviously they saw the fight from inside and didn't make it in time.

Captain Raven!"

They all shouted, surrounding him and looking at the wounds his took.

"Sir...we are so sorry we couldn't get here in time.."

Shimmering said as she lightly cradles his jaw in her hands, looking at the bleeding bruise that was on his cheek.

"Trust me, ladies. this isn't no where worse than what I have already been through. Don't worry about me. Small wounds like this heal in a day. The oracle cells in my body regenerate my flesh. only after a long time with larger wounds does it take time. Now come on, we are wasting daylight."

"But..sir.."

"I am fine ladies..trust me. I took down a dragon. Remember?"

He said with a light smile as he hops the fence of the training arena. They all smiled and nodded to him.

"Now then, which one of you wants to come and see what you can do against me first?"

They look between each other, Shattering blade stepping up first with a determined gaze on her face and a smile.

"I got your number right here, sir!"

"That's the spirit, get on up here Shattering!"

Mystogan could already tell that this mare was the tomboy of the group. She seemed like the rough and tumble type, but still beautiful and alluring. Mystogan takes his aikido stance and smiles.

"Alright, let me have it!"

Shattering charged for him off the bat, letting out a battle cry as she began swinging her fists willy at him, he leaned from side to side and back and forth avoiding her. She was a heavy hitter, but her speed was also very impressive. But she relied too much on these things. She didn't watch her enemy's other movements it seems. As she stepped forward to get in closer, Mystogan swings his leg under hers and pulls it out from under her, causing her to fall on her rear and fall back.

"Ooowwww...."

She said as she rubbed her rear gently, the others giggling at her expense. She glares at them, but smiles as Mystogan offers a hand to help her up. She takes it and stands.

"You and Shimmering share the same fighting style, yes?"

"Yes sir...she may not be as...tomboyish as me, but we are known as the 'juggernauts' of the female wing."

"Well then, you and her need to both know this then. Speed and strength aren't everything. Know your surroundings, and most importantly, watch your enemy's movements. You got in too close to not notice I had you right where I needed you, and once you stepped closer, I got you while you where in mid step. I want you two to work on this together for me. Once you have mastered this. You will be all that more deadly. Do you understand?"

"Sir!"

They both said as they jumped into the arena to practice this on each other. he then looks to the pegasi twins.

"Shadow, Blinding. You two are my light fighters yes?"

"Yes sir!"

"And how do your fighting styles work?"

"Well...we are more of range and quick motion close combat. We use quick jabs and multiple attacks to weaken our opponents by attacking multiple weak points."

He nods and motions them to follow him to the other arena.

"Which one of you will come step up then?"

Shadow Step lightly rubbed her arm and looked away, as did Blinding arrow.

"Ladies...what's wrong?"

Mystogan asked with a headtilt.

"We...are just nervous is all.."

Mystogan smiles and walks over to them both, placing a hand on each of their shoulders.

"Come on...I can't have you two freeze up on me now. We are doing this not only to improve your combat skills, but also your interactive skills. I noticed that when I was speaking to the others yesterday, you and your sister stayed away and were rather hesitant in the hug. I was the same when I first joined my unit back home. I didn't so much as speak to them until they allowed me to be myself and open up. Slowly but surely, I gave them a chance, and trusted them and became more open. And to this day, I still consider them my friends even though we split up. Remember, we are all one big unit now. And I want this unit to remain friends for always. Time to open the doors and let others in. Can you do that for me ladies?"

They both look at him with their beautiful green eyes, a small smile coming across their faces as they nod

"Yes sir!"

They both said with a light fist pump

"I will take you on, sir!"

Shadow Step exclaimed, Mystogan smiled again and nodded.

"Atta girl Shadow. Come and show me that you can handle your Captain should he get out of hand."

He said jokingly, this making the twins giggle lightly. Shadow jumping into the arena and taking her fighting stance, that same determined smile now on her lips. Mystogan taking his own stance as well. Her approach was more concentrated, quickly shifting from side to side and closing the distance between them quickly. Mystogan barely having any time to react as she began her quick jabs to his weak points. Mystogan blocking each one barely in time with his palms. Her speed was amazing, and with these two fighting at once, he was sure he would go down quickly. He certainly noticed a change in the way Shadow carried herself. During the battle with the dragon,both her and her sister seemed to be...hesitant in attacking the dragon's wings. But now..was a totally different story. Mystogan chuckled as he found an opening. Hooking his arm around hers and spinning back, hooking his leg behind hers and pushing her back, causing her to fall back, but before she hits the ground, Mystogan grabs her hand and pulls her back up, a bit smile on his face

"You were starting to tire me out there Shadow. If it had been you and your sister in here with me.I am sure that you two would have brought me down with your quick attacks. Seems like a change in your confidence has risen a bit huh?"

The compliments and praise he was giving to her made her smile widely, she nodded happily.

"Yes sir...I definitely feel better about the whole thing."

He looks over to Blinding arrow.

"As should you Blinding, learn from this and your sister, and you two will be even more unstoppable than you are now. Now then, get your rump in here and spar with your sister. It's only the first day and I am already starting to see improvements in all of you. Keep up the good work."

He could see all of them smiling as he spoke, it seems his words of encouragement have made their fighting spirit shine brighter. After about an hour and a half of sparring, Mystogan calls them off.

"Alright ladies, that is enough sparring for today. You all did very very well. Back to the barracks." he said as he began walking back that way, his unit following behind him quickly. As they go into the warmth of their dorm, they watched him as he made his way to his room.

"You girls go ahead and shower up first. I know you are just aching to sooth those muscles of yours. And take your time.I will wait my turn."

"Oh no you don't mister!"

Shimmering said as she grabbed his hand, making him stop in his tracks.

"You are part of our unit now, and we ALL shower together."

Mystogan gulps hard and blushes, shifting his eyes between them all

"She has a point, Raven...its bonding time after all."

Said Shadow with a light giggle and blush across her own face

"Shattering, Blinding, surely you two seem to think this is a bit-."

He was cut off by the other two already peeling off their training gear in front of him. He quickly closes his eyes.

"Ladies, in the shower, please!"

He said as he tried his best to not stare at the athletic, but extremely beautiful forms they had, their hips absolutely perfect, and their breasts a pleasant C cup in which he wanted to fondle and squeeze. Hey, he was a male after all.

"You to, Raven. Off with those clothes!"

They said as the now naked mares pounced on him and began to remove his clothing from him, carrying him into the already made bath and tossing him in. he lets out a surprised yell before he hits the water, coming up and crossing his arms as his hair hangs in his eyes. The four mares coming in with a giggle as they walk to the shower heads and start the water, letting out a sigh of delight as it hits their fur. Mystogan lowers into the water, blowing bubbles in annoyance. But, he eventually lets it go and smiles to his unit. They are a lively bunch, that's for sure. A few moments later, as he was starting to go into his own mind, Shadow came up to the side of the tub and leaned down, her ample breasts hanging freely.

"Um...Raven. Would you like me to wash your back?"

He opens one eye and looks up to her.

"You really don't have to, Shadow. Plus I have cars that may turn you away from such a thing."

"Then we all want to see them!"

Shimmering shouted as the rest of them came over. he sighed and slowly stood up from the water, revealing both his back and front to them all, the first thing that caught their eyes though, was the massive claws marks that covered his whole torso.

"R-Raven...those marks...they nlook like they nearly killed you. How are you even still alive after those?"

One of them asked with concern in her voice.

"Long story short, I got this when I saved one of my members of my former unit. needless to say yes, I was very nearly dead. But a wonderful zebra shaman pulled me from the edge of death with her healing. I still need to pay her a visit."

"And these other scars..."

"They are from being turned into a god eater. I was a lab rat, I passed the tests they gave me, I became a walking weapon."

"Impressive, sir.."

"That's...not all that is impressive about him.."

Blinding said with a massive blush, the resting of them following with a collected 'Uuuhuuuhhh...'. Mystogan facepalmed and went right back into the water. They all giggled and teased him. Eventually the bath time ended and he was the last out. Coming out in his shirt and pants, he looks around at the table that is in between two couches, covered in food and drinks. And the four mares smiling around it all.

"Welcome to the Unit Captain! We are very happy to have you on board with us, and look forward to your guidance and strength from here on!"

They lift their glasses to him.

"To Captain Raven!"

They all shouted

--2 hours later--

Mystogan looks down at his unit all passed out and asleep from the drinking they did. he just laughed lightly and walked over to the closet, pulling out some extra blankets and covering them were they laid. As he made sure they all stayed warm, he walks into his room and falls face first on his bed, slowly closing his eyes.

"Tia...you know not what you have done...but you know what? I really like these girls. I feel that they and myself will become even stronger. I bet we will be able to face ten dragons at once together."

He heard a light giggle in his mind.

"There is no doubt, Myst. I was watching you work with them earlier. I am quite proud of you, Captain."

Thank you Tia..but I am just gonna...sleep now.."

"Sweet dreams, Mystogan. I shall see you in the morning."

"And hopefully..they don't try and steal you away from me as well..."

She said with a slight giggle as she spoke to herself before falling asleep herself.
