Mystogan was now in his dream, sleeping comfortably beside Rarity. As he dreamed, the faces of his past came through. His friends from Blood who he misses greatly. Quick flashes of events that happened those years ago. From their first meeting, all the way to their...disbanding. The good memories, the bad memories, they just kept on coming and most of all, the loss of one of his friend from the unit. He was standing in front of the grave that held his god eater armlet in place. As his friends around him are shedding their tears, Mystogan crouches down and places a hand on the grave, lowering his head.

"We miss you Romeo...the unit just isn't as lively as it was without you bud. At least...you are now safe and away from this living hell. I envy you just a bit bud. We will be back to see you soon. Going to go and kill that bastard who took you from us, that's a promise."

As he stood up and walked away, he was stopped and pulled aside by their captain, Julius Visconti.

"Vice Captain, a word please."

"Yes, Sir?"

"I...I am going to go away to Friar for awhile now. And I don't know when I will return. Things are getting complicated. And I have something I must do. Therefore, I am now handing command of Blood over to you."

"Julius...you can't be saying..."

"I am Mystogan, you are the commander and captain of Blood. I do not see anyone more suited for the job. You are kind, compassionate, and willing to do what is necessary to make sure that Nana and the others always come back home alive. And after the loss of Romeo..I..see it is better to have you take over. I am going to go and make sure that none of us have to risk death anymore. The god arc soldiers. Relay the news of your promotion to the team.'

He was passed Mystogan and places a hand on his shoulder.

"Take care, Captain."

As all this was going on, Princess Luna was watching him. Her heart ached for him. Not only was he facing death day in and day out at such a young age. but losing a friend and comrade in arms was also another shot to the heart and mind.

"This poor child...he has been through so much in his young years. And I can see why Tia is having some misgivings about him. If the boy can slay something that is called the 'devouring apocalypse', then he can definitely cause trouble for us should he so choose. The question is...would he even want to though? And this name his commander called him...'Mystogan', must be his real name, I am guessing 'Raven' must be his handle or code name of sorts...'

The dream was starting to fade, he must have been waking up. Luna quietly left his mind and back to her own body. she quickly woke up and turned to her sister who was beside her.

"Well Lulu, what were you able to learn of our guest?"

"Tia..this young one has been through so much...but the power he can wield is...frightfully high. Even without his weapon, he could cause some serious damage should he feel threatened. Should we really send the guards after him? The poor child has been through enough as it is, and he doesn't seem like the type to want to cause anyone trouble."

Celestia thought about it, then smiled gently

"Alright then Lulu. Send the guards, but tell them to explain the situation calmly and don't do anything forceful. He may be an adult now, but he is still young."

"Indeed Tia...the young stallion has also lost someone very dear to him in his recent past. To be a solider at the age of sixteen and fight the monsters he has fought, and to lose a friend to them. I am surprised he even continued to remain as what they are called...um..'god eaters' I think is the term."

"God eaters you say?"

"Mhm, they face down these larger terrifying beasts called aragami. Some are even as large as one of the towers of the castle, and yet these children are able to slay them with these weapons called 'god arcs'. It's amazing and scary at the same time."

Celestia smiled again, this time more brightly.

"Sister...what are you planning?"

Luna asked with an arched brow

"This may be of great benefit to us dear sister. If we treat this young one with kindness and honesty. I feel he could become a great ally and asset to us and our citizens. Send the guards now to retrieve him. But remember what I said. Don't let them cause him any trouble."

"Understood sister."

Mystogan opened his eyes as the smell of...pancakes? Yep, that was pancakes alright, filled the room. He looked over to see Rarity wasn't beside him. Which was a little disappointing, but oh well. He got up and slid his clothing on. stretching and yawning before doing so. He followed the smell to the kitchen Both her and Sweetie Belle were already up and about. He couldn't help but smile lightly to them.

"Good morning you two."

Rarity and her sister looked over and smiled brightly.

"Good morning Raven!"

They both said at the same time. Sweetie Belle running over and wrapping his arms around his torso in a warm hug, looking up to him.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

Mystogan couldn't help but chuckle lightly.

"Well, considering who I had to keep me feeling warm and safe as I slept...I sure did."

Rarity couldn't help but giggle at him and bat her eyelashes. The face that she was wearing an apron with nothing but hot shorts on didn't make it any easier to stop blushing. Sweetie Belle looked between him and her sister, then blushed heavily herself.

"D-did you two..?"

"No, of course not!"

He said to her as he knew exactly what she was asking. Rarity giggled again.

"No Sweetie Belle, we didn't. They we did have a naked cuddle session before bed. He is such a sweetheart."

Sweetie Belle glared at her sister and looked back up at Mystogan.

"Alright mister,you are sleeping with me tonight. I want cuddles to!"

"Uuuh, I Don't know..."

"Indeed Sweetie Belle. After all, you don't have the...'assets' yet to keep him nice and warm at night."

She said as she leaned over a bit, putting her large bust on display and smirking at her little sister. Sweetie Belle flaring at her in turn.

"I-I am still developing! And at least I know I won't smother him on accident!"

"Well, I never!"

"Girls please..not so early in the morning. Can't we just sit down and eat breakfast? The meal you have prepared looks wonderful."

They both blushed at his compliment and smiled.

"We...both put it together. We can't wait for you to try it. You look a bit on the thin side. So we both agreed to give you most of the pancakes."

"Sweetie Belle said as she went to her spot at the table, Rarity doing the same. He makes his way to the empty chair, and the rather large stack of pancakes, he sits down and claps his hands together.

"Thank you for the food."

Without a second of hesitation, the young man began to demolish the food before him, both Rarity and Sweetie Belle watched with both shock and amazement at how quickly he was devouring the food. And he did it somehow without dropping a single crumb! After having finished, he grabbed the napkin beside him and wiped his face in a proper fashion. Then bowing his head slightly.

"Thank you again for the food, both of you. It was extremely tasty."

"You really liked it?"

They both asked, Rarity especially curious.

"Mhm, I haven't had a meal this excellent since...well, I can't really remember when."

"A gentlecolt and proper manners? You continue to impress me, Raven..I may just keep you all to myself after all!"

"Well, I don't think Sweetie Belle would be to happy about that"

He said with a smirk, deciding to play her game.

"He is right Rarity, you can't have him all to yourself!"

As the argument was about to begin, there was a rather rough knocking at the door. The all blinked at the knocking, Rarity slipping off her apron and grabbing a t-shirt and slipping it on.

"I wonder who that could be so early this morning..."

Rarity walked over to the door and opened it, stumbling back as two guards made their way into the shop and looked around.

"Where is he?"

One of the guards asked looking to Rarity who shook herself out of her shock. Glaring at the guards.

"Now listen here you brutes, you can't just force your way into my shop and home!"

"We are here on orders. Now, where is the god eater?"

Like a mother ready to defend her child, Rarity ran to the kitchen and wrapped her arms defensively around Mystogan as the guards followed her. Her eyes glaring at them.

"I won't let you take him, he has done NOTHING wrong ever since he got here..."

"Like I said, we are on orders from the princesses to bring him to the castle. They wish to speak with him."

Mystogan lightly pushes Rarity away from him and stands up. Rarity frowning a bit and looking to him.

"I don't want to cause you any trouble Rarity. Especially with all that you have done for me within the past few hours. Don't worry, I will be back...hopefully."

He said as he took her into a warm and gentle hug. Then walking over to Sweetie Belle and giving the same affection.

"Don't worry Sweetie Belle. When I come back, you can introduce meto your friends, then we can go hang out, I promise."

She instantly wrapped her arms around his body and nuzzled into his chest.

"Come back soon....big brother."

What was it with younger girls calling him big brother? First in his world, and now here? He just smiles and pets her head gently. Breaking away from here and waving.

"You two be good."

After that, he was escorted out of the building, leaving behind a rather sad pair of sisters. Once they were outside he spoke with the guards.

"So then, how do you know what I am?"

"It doesn't matter. Like I said, we are on orders to retrieve you. You are lucky the princesses asked us to do it nicely. Otherwise you would have had spears on you. But even so, you came along easier than we thought you would."

"Well like I told Rarity and her sister, I didn't want to cause them trouble."

"Fair enough."

He said as both of them grabbed him by his arms.

"Hold tight, its gonna be a quick flight."

They both spread their wings and took off with him. He didn't freak out, after all, he has jumped aboard a flying aragami before to take it down with his teammates. But a quick flight it was indeed.

"You know..for a god eater, you are smaller than we thought, much smaller in fact. The lunar princess described you as a creature that wields devastating power. But you look so...ordinary."

"Well..you keep on thinking that...If I truly felt like I was being threatened, I can do things, even without my weapon."

"Well, all we can say, is that if you try anything ton harm the princesses, we will be all over you."

"That all depends if they attack me first."

They fly over the city of the city of Canterlot, landing in front of the main courtyard. Releasing their grip on him and motioning him to follow. The castle was huge in size, with it tall towers and its massive outer was protecting the inside. It truly was a sight to behold, much like the days of old back in his world. As he walked into the castle and through its halls, other guards were watching him closely, grips on the weapons tighten. They were definitely large than him, but these were small fries of the small fries, He had faced aragami more threatening than these guards. They finally got to the large golden doors that edned at the main corridor. Two of the guards standing by it watched Mystogan as he approached. They opened the door, the blinding light flashing in Mystogan's eyes, using an arm to shield himself from it. As he walked in, he looked around at the VERY large room. His eyes now focusing on the other end of the room, he sees two figures sitting upon thrones, one was pure white with a flowing mane that was a spectrum of colors, and the other was a dark blue with a flowing mane of what looked like the night sky. The white one seemed like she was the oldest of the two, considering ehr size and her bust, which was a very very nice F cup...and it looked like the smaller one wasn't to far off. But it looked like their bodies were well proportioned for their sizes. But they looked much taller than even the guards here. But what Mystogan noticed the most, and it wasn't hard not to, was their eyes, starring at him intently. It felt like Mystogan was walking with a thousand pounds of pur metal on his shoulders. The guards kneel before the two amazons.

"Princesses, the god eater. As you have ordered."

"Thanks you guards, you may go now."

The older one said

"But your highness..shouldn't we stay in case he gets out of hand?"

"You have your orders guards. Dismissed."

The younger one said with a bit of annoyance in her voice.

They nodded and rose, walking quickly from the throne room and closing the door behind them. Both of the princesses rose from their thrones and approached Mystogan. As they got closer, they were indeed much taller than the others, but this didn't bother him.

"So then, you have me here. What is it you want? And how do do you already know so much about me when I haven't even met you?"

As they got closer he noticed that the dresses they were wearing were quite..revealing. They both wore the same kind, but in different colors and the sides were split differently. White with gold trimming for the older one, and blue with black trimming for the younger one.

"We have asked that you be brought before us young one. After all, you are new to this world. And how we know of you is not important. But we do know, is that you are a potential threat. Though from what we can tell, you came along rather peacefully, Mystogan."

The white one spoke in a motherly type of voice. And the fact that she knew his real name annoyed him slightly, She could feel that glare he was giving her burn into her skull.

"You will not speak that name until I allow it. Only my friends have that right. You two may be the rulers here, but that doesn't mean you get to call me by my real name. You will refer to me as 'Raven' until you earn that right. That goes for your sister to. If that is what she is to you."

They both stare at him in shock, but then glare right back at him.

"You know we are the rulers of this place. and yet you have the nerve to speak to us like that?"

Asked the younger one

"And what right do you have calling me a threat? I have done nothing wrong and yet you have your pawns come and take me from a fine breakfast that a new friend worked so hard to prepare for me? If I hadn't finished it in time. I would be more irritated than I am now. Don't expect me to be intimidated by you. I have face creatures much scarier than you, on a daily basis. Each time escaping death."

Luna was about to say something back to him, but was stopped by her older sister, her gaze still on him.

"You are right Raven, we haven't been through what you have, especially at such a young age. And we are sorry for what we did. But it is important that we know about you. and your capabilities. You see...there is something inside of you."

"Yes, I am filled to the brim with oracle cells. What of them?"

"Is that what they are called?"

"Yes, they were injected into my body when I first joined my former unit."

He said as he lifted his right arm into view, showing them his armlet.

"And if you were planning on remove this from me. I would advise against it. Who knows what I could turn into."

"So, if that armlet of yours were to come off..."

"Yep,I would become a full aragami, then you would have a real issue on your hands. See, aragami live to do one thing, devour all living things. So you even think to remove this from me, its your funeral. Now, if I am unstable or weak, then the change will be drastic. But if I maintain control. The mutations will only be partial, and I will still be myself. But that is a rare case indeed. So like I told everyone else who knows of my double edged sword. I am technically an aragami right now. Just mostly human. Anything else you were going to ask about?"

"One more thing. Are you planning on any malicious intent while here?"

"Of course not, but if I need to get violent for defense, I can't promise I will hold back. I may not have my scythe with me. But it requires superhuman strength and speed to wield that monster. I may not be able to fly either, but I can leap over buildings as well. Like I said, mostly human."

"Fair enough, Raven. As before I apologize for my rudeness earlier. And Lulu is to. Right dear sister?"

She was looking away from him, arms crossed under her large bust not saying anything.

"Well, at least your are restarting with an apology. That is very admirable of you princess. Seems like your little sister has a lot to learn yes?"

Suddenly he was lifted up by a blue magical aura around his body, and thrown harshly across the room and into the wall, a loud thud echoed through the room. Celestia's wide eyed gaze turned to her angry sister.

"LUNA, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"

"He started it Celestia!"

Mystogan slowly lifted his head from the dent in the wall his body made, glaring darkly with a wicked smile.

"You call that a throw? Aragami hurt way more than that..."

He pushes himself off the wall and directly at Luna, Flying back across the room, wrapping and arm around her neck and pulling her down as he lands, shocking both of them

"Now listen here, I will let you have that one. But you ever think to do that again, you could just break my arml;et by mistake...and you will be my first meal if I can't control the change."

"Raven please, that's enough!"

At Celestia's words, he releases her younger sister who was still in shock. He looks back to Celestia, that dark expression he had suddenly just...vanished.

"I warned you both, did I not? Apparently she thought I wouldn't retaliate. When you look at it, I came here of my own will, not wanting any trouble, and this happens. Not a very good start on her path of becoming my friend. But you still have a chance princess. Like I said, she has a lot to learn. Grow up Luna. I had to."

"Raven...I am really sorry for her behavior..."

"Like I said princess, it's not your fault. She will be the one who needs to apologize. If she ever decides to. So what's gonna happen to me? Throw me in the stockade? A public execution? Make an example of me?"

"N-no Raven..I believe you were well within your right."

"I don't want to cause trouble for you princess, since you are being so nice to me. I really really hope things get better forme, you and your sister when it comes to a friendship. But she is off to a rocky start. I am returning back to Rarity's home now, if you will allow me of course."

"Yes Raven, you may leave now. Thank you for coming so willingly. I will talk to my sister after she comes out of her daze. No charges will be brought against you, You have my word."

"Thank you princess. And tell her..I am sorry as well, I may have overdone it a bit."

Celestia blinked for a moment, but smiled as he said that.

"I will Raven, and thank you."

He nodded and made his way out, the guards meeting him outside of the door. He dusted his shoulders off and looked to them

"Your princess has ordered you to return me to Rarity's home. Please do so."

They simply nodded to him and did so, having listened in on what had happened in the throne room

Author's Notes:

Aaand here come the "he is to OP' posts. Come on guys, just because he doesn't bend to the will of royalty or anything along the lines doesn't make him op. And yes, oracle cells do give humans superhuman speed and strength, otherwise how would they wield their god arcs? I have seen the anime and played all the games. So I know my facts.

Like and share.

May the darkness grant you peace.
