After getting Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle back home, he was to take Applebloom next, Since the others were more close, and it was getting darker, He knew it would be best to get her home last. As they walked down the road to Sweet Apple Acres, Applebloom was quiet, holding onto his arms closely and still shaking. Mystogan looked over to her with a concerned look

"Applebloom..are you going to be alright?"

She squeezed his arm tighter and whimpered.

"O-one of them...fondled me...Ah never felt so disgusted in muh life.."

Mystohgan stopped and formed his hands into fists, a quiet anger brewing within him.

"I should have broken their windpipes when I had them. I am sorry I didn't come sooner Applebloom, I was in charge of watching you and I fell asleep."

"You came when we needed you the most Raven. If it hadn't been for you..."

"I will never let anyone like that lay a hand on you girls. I just never thought such a bright and colorful world would have beings like that. But I am just glad I was able to get to you in time before it really got out of hand."

She nodded and nuzzled into his arm, leaning against him affectionately.

"Thank you Raven, ah can see why Sweetie thinks so highly of you. She calls you her big brother. I would be lyin' if I said I wasn't a bit jealous. Even though I have muh own big brother."

She suddenly lets out a yawn and leans more against him. He pulls his arm away from ehr and kneels down, looking over his shoulders. She looked at him in confusion.

"Come on, hop on. I will carry you the rest of the way."

"Oh Raven, that's sweet of you. You sure ah won't be any trouble?"

Mystogan shook his head with a light smile. Applebloom smiled back and climbed onto his back, sliding her legs between his arms and wrapping her arms around his neck. He stands back up and begins to carry her home. Mystogan looking behind him a bit.

"You comfy?"

She nodded to him and leaned forward, pecking him on the cheek as they began to walk. The rest of the way was silent, she had fallen asleep while he was carrying her. Good thing she told him the directions before she passed out. He comes up to the entrance, making his way to the large house that was at the end of the pathway, he spotted an orange pony with long blonde hair tied in a pony tail running up to him, seeing her sister on his back, she ran even faster. Mystogan carefully brought his finger up to his lips before she got any closer. The older pony slowed down and came to a walk.

"What are you doin' with muh little sister?"

She asked with a light glare, keeping her voice down so she didn't wake her.

"I was in charge of watching them for the afternoon when they went swimming. Something happened and well...that's the reason why she is late. I take full responsibility for it as well."

The farm pony looked into the man's eyes for awhile. Mystogan arched a brow and tilted his head. She simply nodded and motioned him to follow her inside of the house. Just as the rest of the family was about to talk aloud, Applejack shushed everyone as Mystogan brought in the sleeping filly."

"Where can I find her room?"

He whispered to Applejack.

"Follow me."

He did as instructed, eventually getting to her room and carefully lowering her onto her bed. Laying her down and bringing her blanket over ehr body. Applejack watched this from the doorway. Her eyes on the male as he treats Applebloom with such care. As he tucks her in, he gently runs his hand over her forehead and through her hair.

"Sweet dreams Applebloom. Tomorrow will be a better day..promise."

As he begins to walk away, she reaches out in her sleep and grabs his hand. He stops and looks over to her with a tilt of his head

"Thank you...Raven...so cool.."

Mystogan couldn't help but feel his heartstrings being pulled by this filly. First Sweetie Belle and now her. He squeezes her hand gently before releasing it. Walking out of the room, her sister shut off the light and closed the door quietly. She Motioned him to come back down the stairs in the main room, pointing to the chair across from the couch

"Park it."

She said in a louder tone now that they were downstairs. Mystogan nods and sits in the chair, Her, her brother and who looked to be their grandmother sat on the couch in front of him

"Tell us everythin', down to every little detail."

Mystogan nodded. He began explaining the events that had transpired while he was with the fillies, from picking them up from the school house to the three unknown stallions who tried to have their way with them. After he explained to them thoroughly, they simply looked at him with wide eyes.

"So if you hadn't been there when they went..."

"Don't worry, I made sure that they didn't have their way with them. Though I should have crushed their windpipes when I had the chance..one of them fondled Applebloom. I swear, if I run into them again..."

"Well, you were definitely kind enough to give them a beat down at least. We are in your debt, sir. Thank you for bringing our little Applebloom back to us safely."

Mystogan puts his hands up in front of him, waving them slightly

"No need to thank me. I am just glad she is home safe..her and her friends."

"Ah am to assume you are Raven then?"

Mystogan gave a nod, the farm pony standing up and grabbing his hand, shaking it firmly.

"Pleasure to meetcha, muh name is Applejack. This here is Big Mac and Granny Smith."

Big Mac walked up to Mystogan, he expression was empty at first, but then offers a smile and pats him on the shoulder a few times

"Eeyup."

"Big Mac doesn't really say much, but he is pretty much sayin' your a good stallion and he thanks you."

"Ah...well not a problem bud. She is a pretty sweet girl. Reminds me of a girl I worked with while I was in the Blood Unit back in my world. In fact, all three of those little fillies do. But that's a story for another time. Long story short, I used to be part of a military force that defended against horrible monsters that ate anything living."

"Muh goodness. You were in a military where you are from?"

Applejack asked in slight surprise

"Yes ma'am, We are known as god eaters. We pretty much wield giant weapons and kill of monsters called aragami to save our kind. But seeing as I am here now...well I can't do my job anymore.Anyways, it's getting rather late. I don't want to bother you all more than I have. I must be heading back to Rarity's. She worries about me more than she should."

"Now wait just a minute there, sonny. We can't just letcha wander out there without givin' you somethin' for helpin' our little filly."

"Honestly, it's not necessary ma'am."

"Granny Smith is right, Raven. How about we give you a slice of our famous apple pie, then you can go?"

Mystogan's eyes widen at the word 'pie',something he hadn't had in ages.

"Pie you say? I guess I can stay a little longer."

"Good, besides, looks like you need a bit more meat on you. You are on the thine side a bit too much."

Mystogan lowers his head a bit, then looks back up at Applejack.

"Hey...i am only eighteen..I am still growing up. Besides, back were I am from, we never really got to eat as good as you all do here."

All three of them let out a light laugh. Applejack went into the kitchen for a little bit. The room was quiet, but of course Grabby Smith broke that silence.

"So then Raven. You plannin on winnin' Applebloom's heart over time?"

Mystogan's eyes widen a bit, slamming his palm into his forehead, then shaking his head.

"Don't get me wrong ma'am, she is very adorable. But I don't think a now legal adult should be dating a minor. Even if it is a two year difference. Geez, first Rarity, now you.."

Granny Smith couldn't help but laugh at his response. Though he and Big Mac didn't find it very amusing. Soon Applejack cameout with a large pie of pie and a tall glass of ice cold milk, seating it in front of him and giving him a warm smile.

"C'mon sugarcube, don't be shy."

Mystogan clapped his hands together.

"Thank you for the food."

And just like he ate the pancakes that same morning, that piece of pie was gone just as fast without a crumb being dropped, he grabs the glass of milk and chugs it down, letting out a gasp of delight as he finishes.

"Goodness, the youngen can eat..."

Granny Smith said while in slight shock, her mouth agape.

"Uuuh...would you like another one, sugarcube?"

"No thank you. I'drather not eat you out of house and home. I will just be on my way now."

He said as he stood and bowed slightly. He walked over to the door and opened it.

"Hang on sugarcube, Ah will walk you to the exit. It's the least Ah can do."

With that, both of them walked outside and down the pathway. Mystogan stole a few glances of Applejack while they walked. She wore a brown leather stetson hat, a red flannel shirt that she seems to have tied just below her rib cage, and tight fitted jeans. Her body was quite athletic, then again she is a farm pony so that is to be expected. Her bust was a full C cup which rested nicely in that shirt of hers, and she had a fine rear as well. But what caught Mystogan's attention the most were those beautiful emerald eyes that shone like the priceless stone itself.And that long golden mane of hers was rather nice to.

"Likin' what you see there, stud?"

And he knew he was caught, no use in lying about it now.

"Well, I won't lie..you look like you got a body that won't quit, that's for sure. But to tell you the truth, your eyes are quite lovely, they are like emeralds."

"Aww shucks..thank you kindly Raven."

She said with a slight blush across her face.

"Also, Ah want to thank you personally for savin' my little sister. To tell you the truth, we have known about these three stallions who have been preying on fillies for a month now. They have already claimed two victims and it has brought a lot of mental trauma to them."

Mystogan was boiling on the inside. Its one thing when their is consent. But when you force yourself on those who are unwilling, and not even old enough yet?

"I promise you this Applejack...if I ever find those three again. I will castrate them and shove their bits down their throats..."

Applejack couldn't help but chuckle,placing an arm around his shoulder.

"Let me know when you catch them...Ah want in on that action for my little sis."

"In that case, I will let you do the honors. You get the first pick."

"Well that's awfully generous of you, Raven."

He chuckles and begins to head out the entrance, but before he could leave, he was pulled into a hug big the farm pony, and given a soft peck on the cheek before she let go, a soft blush on her cheeks

"Thanks again...Raven."

"Uh yeah...of course.."

And with that, Raven began his walk back to Rarity's. Thoughts run through his head. Why has he started caring so much for these being now? Is it because they have started showing him kindness even though he knows he doesn't belong in this world? Mystogan is a god eater, a walking weapon.And if things went wrong and his armlet somehow got destroyed..would they be able to handle him should the mutation fully happen? He knows this world has..'magic'. But what if that isn't enough? Whenever he comes out of his thoughts, he sees that he is now back at Rarity's. He walks up to the door and knocks, knowing that the store was closed for the night. A few moments pass until Rarity opens the door with a smile on her face, happy to see him once more. He steps in and looks around, then turns to Rarity

"Is Sweetie doing alright?"

"Yes dear, she is sound asleep."

She said as she closed the door and locked it behind her, walking over to him and hugging him lovingly.

"I never got to thank you before you took Applebloom back home. Because of you, Sweetie and her friends remained unharmed. A lady needs to thank a hero properly..."

She said as she batted her eyelashes at him, Mystogan blushing brightly as she teased him again.

"Please Rarity..no teasing tonight...I am a bit exhausted from all this..."

"Come on darling, we will get you a nice hot bath and a good massage, its the least I can do for what you did today."

"That, I can definitely get behind."

He said as he and Rarity walked upstairs, cutting off the lights in the store and heading up into the bathroom, Rarity turning on the hot water while Mystogan began to remove his clothing. He removed his bandages as well, see that the scars were no longer moist or bleeding.

"Finally, I don't have to wear these things anymore.."

He said to himself as he was now fully undressed, his slides into the hot water which was now filled with herbs, Rarity must have put them in when he wasn't watching. Not that he is complaining. A good herbal bath is always welcomed. He suddenly feels those familiar arms wrap around him and those large orb of flesh press against his back, his lets out a shudder as he is pulled back into her lap. She nuzzled into him gently and begin to was and lather him up. It..was starting to grow on him. Being treated like this was very nice. He would be lying to himself if he said he wasn't a bit aroused, but she didn't need to know that.

"Enjoying yourself, darling?"

"Y-yes, it feels very nice, thank you Rarity. You are very sweet to do this."

"It's no trouble. After all, you have done a lot for me and Sweetie in the short time you have been here."

"Naah, I just do what I would do for my friends is all. After all, when all is gone, they are the ones you can turn to."

Rarity continues to pamper and nuzzle him gently, happy just to be spending time with Mystogan once more. They sat there in the water for awhile, just cuddling and talking about the day's events. Eventually they both got out of the water.

"Go ahead and head to the bedroom Mystogan, I will be out shortly to give you that massage."

"I can't wait. I have never really had a massage before.."

"Then you are in for a treat. Just lay on your front, and let momma take care of the rest."

Mystogan nods and makes his way out of the bathroom and lays on his front, the towel still wrapped around his waist as he falls face first onto her bed. his mind and body ready to call it a night. he can't help but smell the bed.

"Yep..she shares the same scent as Megumi alright...amazing how uncanny it is."

He whispered to himself as he lays his head down on one of the pillows. Suddenly his eyes shoot back open as he feels that warm and soft fur resting against his lower back, she was laying onto of him, breasts pulled firmly against his back.

"Are you ready then Mystogan?"

All he could do was nod, hiding the blush in the pillow he had his face buried in. Rarity giggled and leaned back up, placing ehr hands on his shoulders and beginning to rub and knead, her eyes widen a bit.

"My goodness...you are definitely overdue for a good massage hun. Your muscles are tighter than a pair of spandex pants...'

Mystogan would let out a few grunts as he felt the tension in his body start to slowly melt away. This was indeed something hat he needed done. His eyes slowly closed and his body shivered at her firm yet gentle touch. And the fact that he had a fully nude unicorn sitting on his lower back, feeling her warm folds pressed against his skin didn't help at all.

"Fight it you idiot..it's just a massage! No big deal!"

Mystogan continued to remain quiet as she gave him his massage, a few cracks and pops here and there. His eyes staring to droop near the end of the massage. She finally climbs off of him and pulls herself up close to him and wraps her arms around him. Before he finally falls asleep, he hears her whisper to him.

"Goodnight Mystogan. Sweet dreams, hero."
