Homecoming

I was so happy to be holding Applebloom then I picked her up and held her in my arms. She was crying into my shoulder and I looked around for the others. I heard fighting to the left of me and I jumped into the trees and I saw the others with a pack of timber wolfs around them and the guards. ‘This is going to be fun seeing their reactions.’ I looked down at Applebloom and she was happily holding my cloak. I smiled and jumped in front of the wolf and in between the girls. The instant the wolfs saw me they all started to shack in terror. “Leave if you value your life’s." The wolfs didn't have to be told twice as they turned and ran for their lives. When I was sure they were gone, I turned around and I all my girls and Cadence. I saw Luna and I saw her stomach as a little bigger. 'She's already showing how? It’s only been a month!'

"Troy."

I looked back and saw Luna walking up to me with teary eyes. I smiled as I walked over to her and the others. The second I took one step to them they all ran at me. I was the center of the group hug with all the girls crying happily. I calmed them all down and I told them I was coming home today after nightfall.

“Troy.”

I looked to my right and I saw Luna holding her stomach. I had Celestia heal Applebloom’s leg and I let her down as I hesitated to touch her stomach. All the girls saw my hesitation but no one said anything about it right now. I looked at Luna’s face closely for the first time in a long time. She looked so tired and I knew I was the reason. “One or more?”

“Two and the magic test said both going to be colts. It will be nine more months before I give birth. Oh, if you're worried about me already showing it's just a special spell to keep them safe. ”

“Two little boys that cool! Two future sons wow that is going to be a real adventure.” She and the other girls laughed. I hugged her and then I remembered moon and yelled in panic. “SHIT I FORGOT ABOUT MOON SHE’S GOING TO BE MAD I JUST RAN OFF!” I picked Luna up to her surprise and the other followed close behind as I ran down my trail. After a few minutes, we were in the clearing Luna and I were in the cabin.

Luna pov

Troy had just yelled that some mare named moon was going to be mad and in his panic, he picked me up like a bride and started to run. I saw the other’s following us the best they could to keep pace with him. Soon we ran into a clearing with a large cabin near a river. It had a large stone chimney and a tin roof and I could tell they were made by magic. I put that aside for now as I looked at the main cabin as we got close. A full round porch and there was a wooden wall attached to the side of the cabin. We ran through the open door and the other followed us in.

“Wait here with the others I’ll go find Moon and then we can all talk.”

As he spoke he sat me down in an oak chair and my herd sister walked in as he rushed up the stairs. He threw his swords into the corner near the steps as he ran.

“Look at this place did Troy build it?”

I now looked around the room and I saw what Bertha was talking about. There was a couch in a corner and a few photos of landscapes around the room. I also saw a few animal skulls around the room and in the corner, I also saw a full set of armor with his old army symbol on the chest plate. Everyone else either sat down or looked around the cabin.

“Oh, come on come down on your own or I’ll have to make you come down here.”

“No, I know they’ll hate me!”

We all looked at the stairs as Sweetie Bell walk over to see what was going on. When she was near the steps we heard a struggle then sound of somepony walking back down the steps.

“Let me go Troy their going to hate me!”

We saw Troy’s legs as he walked down the steps and we gasped when we saw his nose was bleeding. He was carrying what looked like a blacked wing pegasus by her waist and she was felling in his grip. My breath got caught in my throat when I saw hair like mine and a black horn. “Nightmare Moon.” I looked at my sister as I covered my stomach and she looked just as shocked but she soon got very mad.

“Troy get away from that monster!’

My sister was about to attack them but nightmare looked back at me and I saw fear in her eyes. I stopped and I saw a protective look in Troy’s eye and in a flash, the air around us got very cold. Then we all felt a presser on top of me. From the looks of it, Celestia did too. The others didn’t seem to feel it but I knew for a fact it was coming from Nightmare. I felt Troy’s soul piece start to burn again but stopped after a few seconds. It stopped when my sister stopped her intent to attack Nightmare.

Troy pov

I figured something out after I and nightmare had sex. My soul mixed with what Nightmare had and she had a sword in her stomach which I didn’t get. I thought that did be on her chest like Luna’s but it didn’t appear there it appeared near her womb. That wasn’t the point though I had a theory. I could directly feel her emotion even if I wasn’t near her. I could feel her loneliness when I was gone for those two days. I could felt her want to be near me and her want to hold me close. So, in theory, I could now feel her on an emotional which I could take as good or bad. Now I learned that I could send fear directly to someone with part of my soul. I wanted Celestia to not attack moon so I tried to scare her and she backed off.

“T-troy?”

I looked at Luna and I saw it affected her as well. I soften my eyes and I let nightmare down letting her hide behind me. I looked at Celestia and the other girls. They were all looking at Moon as she was hiding behind me.

“Troy”

I heard Applebloom voice from the right of me. I looked at her and she and Sweetie bell both with a regretful look in their eyes. I just smiled and opened my right arm. “Trust me I’m by no means mad Bloom, Sweetie.” The moment I said that they tackled me into the wall behind me. Applebloom was rubbing her head on my chest and Sweetie bell was crying and saying sorry I into my shoulder. I just let them get it out of their systems. When they were good they let me up and we all sat down in the living room. Seat down in my chair beside the fireplace. Both Luna and Moon moved to sit in my lap. They both looked at each other than Moon saw Luna’s stomach. Luna just smirked at Moon’s jealous look.

“I guess we know who’s going to sit in his lap, don’t we?”

Moon just huffed and sat down in a chair near the door. Luna stuck her tongue out and sat down on my lap. When she was comfortable they all looked at me. I laughed a little and wrapped my arms around Luna’s stomach. “Who wants the first question?” All their arm went up and I picked Bertha. “Bertha you're first.”

“Ok, why did you run away that day? Why did you never let us see you when you came into town?”

“First I was scared I would hurt one of you. Second I knew if you saw me and I didn’t come back then you’d follow me back here. Do you really think I’d let you follow me into this place?” She was quiet for a few minutes.

“No, you wouldn’t let us. You just really scared all of us when you just ran off.”

She sat back down and everyone’s hands went back up. I looked around and then pick Diamond Tiara. “You up Diamond.” She stood up to and spoke.

“So, I’ve got to ask how much control do you have now?”

I thought about it for a few minutes. “Sixty sixty-five percent. The fire is a little harder to control then the ice.” She smiled and sat back down. Next, I picked Scootaloo and she stood up.

“Are you going to come home?”

That was it the question I was waiting on. I sighed knowing that question was coming sooner or later. I saw them all looking at me and Moon had her beg eyes. I knew she wanted to stay here with her and her alone. I sighed and looked up at the roof. “Like I said I barely have sixty-five percent of my power. I have conscious control now but I’ll still burn or freeze the room in my sleep every so often.” I rubbed the back of my head with all of them looking at me. Celestia looked at us and she looked at me with worried.

“If you do come back then I’m warning you Shining and have been the release of our holding cells. He has also made it a point to fight you again Troy.”

I laughed and looked at her with a happy smile. “Good this time I get to knock him silly myself.” I noticed Cadence smiled at that with an evil smile. After that, we spent the next few hours talking about what has happened while I was gone. Mac finally got himself a mare after granny chased him off to find one. Saying she wants to be a great granny before she kills over from old age. “Ha-ha! Oh, that’s rich! I knew the old mare would do that sooner or later Ha-ha!” All of them laughed too then Applebloom spoke up.

“You knew all of our heats are due to hit soon Troy. Soon she’ll have plenty of great grand foals soon~”

I shut my mouth and gulped when I looked at them. They were all smiling and a chill ran down my spine. ‘Oh, hell.” After another hour, we all got up and Moon and I showed them around the house. All of them asked how I slept in a hemic just like Moon did. I just ignored them and watched Luna as she had trouble getting up the stairs. I helped her up as the others walked into Moon’s room and looked out her window over the forest.

“So, this is where you lived for a month uh?”

She got to the top and looked into my room.

“You sure do like it simple, don’t you?”

I laughed and nodded. “Yes, I like it simple Luna. Think about it Luna when have I ever said I want more then I have?” She looked back and started to think about what I said. She looked down at and rubbed her stomach then looked at me.

“You make a very good point you know. Not once have you asked for something you could not get yourself.”

I walked over to her and was going to touch her slightly swollen stomach. Again, I stopped and she grabbed my hand. She looked me in the eyes and had a worried look in her eyes.

“Why do you keep doing that?”

I looked away from her but she grabbed my face and made me look at her. I saw all the other coming out of Moon’s room.

“Troy”

Luna spoke in a firm tone and I looked back into her eyes.

“Why have both times you’ve reached to touch them have you stopped?”

I turned my eyes and Moon walked up behind her. She put and hand on her should and told her why I won’t touch the kids.

“He’s still scared, Luna. He’s scared about the fact he still doesn’t have full control over the powers both yours and Celestia’s soul. In his mind, it’s a risk one he’s not willingly going to take.”

I looked at her annoyed and she just smiled.

“I know you Troy if I didn’t say it she’d never let you hear the end of it.”

I smiled and pointed to her hoofs. “Looks like you got cold hoofs.” As she looked down I turned my left quickly and Ice moved on the floor. It quickly covered her hooves in ice.” She tried to grab me but I leaned back out of her reach.

“When I get my hands on you!”

I smiled and stuck my tongue out at her. She looked mad and I heard a few of the girls laugh. When she stopped trying to grab me and leaned forward again. “We both know how this went the last two times do you really want to try for three?” She smirked and shot me with a blast of magic. I was sent through the wall and into the river.

“TROY!”

I smiled under the water and covered my body with fire energy.

Luna pov

I just watched as my evil half blasted our coltfriend through a wall. I grabbed her by my magic and started to ring her neck. “What in the name of our mother is your problem!?” She broke my magic hold like it was nothing but paper.

“Trust me he’s going to be back up and swinging any second now. Besides he picked a fight so he could get out of the situation for now.”

When she stopped talking the air suddenly got very hot. We all looked at the hole in the wall and saw Troy walked back in with his body covered in fire.

“Moon you know your magic has no effect on me. Plus, I have to fix the wall before we leave and you know how hard it is for me to get my hands on good wood.”

The fire on his body died out and all the other rushed over to him. They checked him over but didn’t find anything wrong with him. I walked passed them and looked up at his face. I didn’t see any water and then smiled. He looked confused and then I clenched my fist and slammed it into his chin. His head flew up into the air then he dropped to the ground out cold with some blood coming from his mouth.

“LUNA!”

All of them yelled and I turned my back to him. I was rubbing my fist because I haven’t hit anything or anypony that hard in years. “What you all know he deserves that at least. Making us worry like he did.” They all looked at one another then nodded.

“Good point.”

We all walked back downstairs and Nightmare grabbed his caller. She dragged him down the stairs and threw him on to the couch. Then I noticed something behind the couch. I walked over to the couch and grabbed a handle of what looked like a sword handle. I lifted it up and I saw it was Nightmares battle axe. I noticed a heart in the middle of the right blade. In the middle was TT+NM and I looked at Nightmare. “TT?” She pointed to the out cold Troy with a smile on her face.

“Troy Thanatos.”

’What does that name mean?’ I looked at her and then looked down at Troy. I looked at her and I saw everyone had the same question on our minds. “Nightmare do you know what the name means?” She laid back in the chair then looked me in eyes.

“No, all he told me was that the empires armies called him when he was on the battlefield. After being called Thanatos so many times plus not having a last name he took it to be his last name.”

“Oh, my jaw.”

We all looked over to Troy as he started to wake up. Applebloom helped him up and sat down on his lap. Sweetie and Bertha sat down on either side of him as he fully woke up. He shook his head a few times then looked at Nightmare.

“You know you’re a real bitch sometimes.”

We all gasped hearing him say that. I stormed over to him and stared death into his eyes but he seemed completely unfazed.

“Since when do you cause?!”

He pointed to Nightmare again and then down to his lap where Applebloom was sitting.

“Since she said if I ever left and never came back she’d hunt me down then kill the mare that took me.”

I looked back to Nightmare who had an evil smile on her face and looked at me. I started to fear for myself and our two children. She was about to get up be to shots of blue energy from behind me froze her hands and arms to the chair. I blinked when I saw that and then looked back to Troy and the girls. He looked annoyed and looked at her.

“I know that face Moon if you want to play go outside and find a beast to play with.”

I looked back to Nightmare and she was pouting. ‘He really does have a hold on her.’

Troy pov

I had Applebloom get off my lap and walked over to Moon. “You’re staying on ice until till you calm. As for me, I have to go and fix the hole on the side of the house.” I stood back up and started to walk outside but Celestia stopped me with a hand on my shoulder. I looked at her and she was looking at me worried.

“I need to talk to you so can I talk to you while you work?”

I smiled and nodded. “Sure, come on and I got something I’ve been meaning to ask about anyways.” She smiled and followed me outside then over to the downed trees. I saw the guards near the river. ‘That’s right boys, a rest while you can. If you go into this forest tired it will chew you up and spit you back out.’ I opened a wooden box I had near the trees. I got out a saw and board cutting tools to make the boards. “Sit down on a stump if you want or just stand.” She sat down on a stump and started to talk as I started to cut the wood.

“Because we were looking for you Blueblood was released and he disappeared. But before he left he left a letter swearing revenge.”

I was halfway through the tree and I started to talk as I worked. “Let him come at me, Celestia. Because this time I’m doing things my way.” I heard her sigh and talked with acceptance in her voice.

“I think it would have been easier if I let you do as you want to the first time. The nobles, however, demanded that he get a fair trial. I swear that if only I could let you go off on the city for just five minutes.”

I smirked and finished cutting through the tree. “Does the noble hunter need to walk the streets again?” I lifted the wood onto my shoulder and looked at her. “You don’t like the noble class, do you?” She sighed and looked at me with an annoyed look.

“You have no idea, Troy.”

She stood up and started at acting out of how the noble’s behaver.

“Princess Celestia the children near my house won’t be quiet at night. Or Your highness I need you to tear down the orphanage so I build an add-on to my house. I swear to my sun all they do is bitch and moan when they don't get their way.”

I smiled when she realized what she just said and she blushed. I walked past her and slapped her rear. I smiled as she looked at me with a face as red as a tomato. “Now it’s my turn to ask something.” She nodded and followed me as I laid the wood down and got a splitter and sledgehammer.

“What do you want to ask?”

I started to split the wood as I asked. “What are that thing on yours and Luna’s hips?” I stopped and looked back at her and she looked at me.

“You mean our cutie marks?”

I scratched the side of my head and leaned on the tree behind me. “Ya, those things on your hips. Is that what they are called?” She nodded and grabbed the side of her jeans and pulled them down a little and show the top of her mark.

“You see a cutie mark shows a pony has found their special talent. My cutie mark shows my talent for moving the sun. Luna’s shows her talent with moving the moon.”

I listened till the end and then I realized what she said. I looked at her and then nodded my head and started to work on the log.

“Sooooo, how did you find Nightmare?”

I finish splitting the log in half and looked at her again. “Oh, you know I was walking around in the forest and heard her through Luna’s soul. I was mad wanted to fight so I hunted her down then we beat the crap out of each other.” She looked at for a few minutes without saying anything then sighed.

“You really do live by your sword, don’t you?”

I smiled and laughed at how she put it. “Ya, I guess I do.” We laughed as I finished cutting the boards. I grabbed the boards and walked back into the house. Celestia followed me in smiling and when I walked in Sweetie Bell and Applebloom sitting on the steps. They were looking down at something. I walked over to them and I saw Applebloom was holding something. “What are you girls doing?”

They turned and looked at me sheepish smiles.

“Um, how do you work this thing?”

Applebloom held my iPhone out and I took it and looked at them. I smiled and pressed the power button on the phone. It powered up and I turned it and showed it to them. “Like that girl.” The watched as my wallpaper came up.

“Hey, it’s you and some other human.”

I smiled and turned the Phone back around. I looked at my old buddy marks face again. He when dresses as Bulat armor and hair just like in the show. We were standing in front of an old destroyed ship in our hometown. I smiled and looked back to them and I saw all my girls and Cadence looking at me.

“Who is that Troy?”

I looked at Applebloom and dropped my smile. “My best friend who died in the middle of an imperial battle.” I looked over that my swords and I couldn’t help but wonder whatever to my friend.

“An imperial battle?”

I hear Luna’s voice and I looked up at her. “A fight between two or more Arms users. Bulat was three times better than me in those battles. He took on three Imperial arms users and killed two of them. One he killed like it was nothing but a fly. I got lucky killing the last one not having my swords. To be honest that guy almost killed me. I just got really lucky that Incursio turned back into a sword.” Everyone looked at me and then Celestia spoke up.

“Incursio was an imperial arm but what do you mean turned back?”

I turned the Phone off and looked at her. “Incursio is was an armor-type created from the flesh of Tyrant, a Superclass Danger beast. To be more exact it was a dragon beast. Due to its origins of the Danger Beast Tyrant, Incursio possessed inaptitude for adaptation and evolution. Aside from its standard capabilities, it continued to evolve as the result of battles against several opponents, gaining new forms and abilities as time goes on.” She looked at me and I guess she saw my depressed look.

“I guess you two were close?”

I smiled and nodded as I started to walk up the steps to fix the wall. “Ya, we were war brothers for a few months. I have to say that he could really give me a hell of a beating when I wouldn’t shut up. After he died Tutsumi took Incursio and started to use it.” I heard someone coming up behind me and I looked back down the stairs. I saw Bertha behind and Diamond, Silver spoon, and Cadence. I sighed and waved them for them to come on. I got to the top and walked over to the hole in the wall. I set the boards down and opened a closet door. I got some nails and a hammer out of the closet. I looked back and they were staring at me. “Do you all need me for something?” Sweetie stepped forward with a scared look on her face.

“Hard hat and his friends have been coming to the house daily. They're after me Applebloom and Scootaloo for dates saying that you left us all for better mares.”

I just stared at them and worried that I could have made more trouble by leaving than by staying. I looked at Cadence and she was still looking at me from the corner of the stairs. I raised an eyebrow and she smiled at me. She waved and like a shy school girl trying to talk to her crush. I just smiled and started to talk to sweetie as I started to fix the wall. “I’ll handle Hard hat when I get back so don’t worry about them anymore. Diamond, Silver, Bertha and Cadence what do you all need?” All of them and Cadence answered the same thing making me cut my hand as I cut off the old boards.

“Our heat will start in about two weeks and we want foals.”

I dropped the saw as the magic fire healed my wound. I looked back at them and I saw them all blushing as they looked at me. When I looked at them as I started to come out of my shock. When I was out of my shock I took a few deep breaths, then looked at them. “Ok then but before that, I need to make something right first.” They all looked at one another and then all but Cadence walked down the stairs. I started to cut the rest of the broken wood.

“Troy.”

I looked at her as I finished cutting the last of the wood. “What’s up Cadence?” She looked back down the steps and then walked over to me. She stood in front of me and looked up at me. She was wearing a tight-fitting hot pinkie shirt and a pair of tight black jeans. Her shirt showed a lot of her chest and I noticed that the very edge of her nipples was visible. I blushed and turned back around and started to work again. “Talk to me as I work Cadence I need to get this done then I have to go and finish what I started.” As I talked I reached for a board and she used her to hand one to me. “Thank you.”

“Your welcome and I want to talk to you about armor Troy. When Celestia, Luna and myself had to go back to the castle Armor cornered me. I hit him with a thunder spell and got away from him but I have a big problem.”

She handed me another board and I talked to while I nailed the board into place. “Let me guess he’s gunning to get in your pants to get the piece of your soul. He wants to be immortal and he wants to get some payback for what you and I did.”

“Yes, I don’t know what he’s planning but the guards are still loyal to him. He lost his rank for what he did but he still lives in the castle due to a fact he has nowhere else to go in the city. So, I have a request to make of you if you’ll hear me out?”

I finished hammering the board into place and got another one. “Let me guess, let you join my herd so if Armor tries anything your protected am I close?” I stopped and looked back at her. She was smiling and nodded her head.

“Yes, If I’m in a herd and he keeps doing what he’s doing then you can have him arrested. I’ve talked to the girls about it and they think it’s a good idea but you have final say.”

I stood all the way back up and looked at her. “If they say it’s ok then I’ll good with it.” She smiled and walked back down the stairs.

“He said yes!”

Then I heard a lot of girls screaming and jumping. I laughed and finished my work on the wall. I finished and gathered the tools from the Apple family then walked down the steps to get the rest. I was about to get to the bottom I heard Luna’s voice and she sounded sad.

“I’m scared girls I really am. I know Troy’s scared for the right reasons. But It’s his kids too he shouldn’t have to fear to hurt them if them touches them. He’s different from when we first meet and I saw he was dripping with confidence. It was like nothing could stop him if when he wanted something. I know he’s still like that but I guess I just wanted to keep him to myself a little more to have that confidence in his. I guess that is kind of selfish of me uh?”

I smiled and leaned on the reeling with a frown. I looked at my hands and I heard the dark one again. ‘Can I touch her without hurting the kids? I did pick her up earlier and I didn’t hurt her.’

“What are you doing?”

I jumped and looked at Diamond as she looked around the corner of the living room. I smiled and flexed my hands a few times. “Hands are a little sore is all.” I picked the bag back up and finished walking down the steps. I looked in and I saw all the girls looking my way. I slung the bag over my shoulder and started to talk. “Who’s ready to head home?” Everyone smiled and we all headed out of the house.

“Oh, wait a second.”

We all stopped and looked back as Moon started to use her magic. After a second a magic doom formed over the whole clearing. When it was done, it disappeared and she walked over to me with a happy smile. “Protection dome?” She smiled and smacked her hips into my side.

“Yep can’t let all our hard work on the house go to waste.”

I nodded with a smile on my face. “Good point but let’s get moving because I have a feeling that granny is going to beat me senseless with that stick of hers.” All of them laughed and I just sighed readying myself for what was to come. Moon also teleported my motorcycle back to the house. The guard took up a defensive pandered around us but nearly pissed themselves when they saw Nightmare. One even fainted when he saw her.

“So, I just remembered my mom and dad are coming to town tomorrow.”

I froze and looked at Sweetie bell as she smiled sheepishly. I sighed and rubbed the bridge of my nose. With my eyes closed and looked down, I started to talk. “What time to I need to be dressed by and do I need to make lunch?”

“Noon and I’m sorry.”

I laughed and shook my head from side to side as I looked at her. She smiled and we started to walk again. “Well, Luna I was wondering what do you want to name the kids?” I looked back seeing she was a little slower than the rest of us. I slowed down and was now beside her.

“Well, they’re both going to be colts some maybe some names from your world?”

I crossed my arms and started to think about names. Two came straight to mind and I looked at her with my best pleading face. “Can they be named after two of my friends from my army days?” She looked at me with a raised eyebrow and noticed the guards looking on as well.

“What are the names?”

“Bulat and Tatsumi.” Everyone stopped and looked at me when I said their names. I looked at Luna as she looked straight into my eyes.

“You want my permission to name one of our kids after friends who died?”

I smiled and started to sweat a little. “Yes, if you’re okay with that.” She smiled and nodded a yes.

“I’m fine with it but I don’t like the ring of Tatsumi. We’ll have to think of another one down the line.”

I smiled widely and hugged her tightly. She laughed as I lifted her off the ground.

“Ok, please put me down!”

I sat her back on her hoofs and we started our way back to the town’s edge. We all walked to the house not five munites away. When we walked in took Moon to a spear room with renature already inside. When I had her settled in I walked back to the master bedroom and I saw Luna laying in the bed. I walked over to her side of the bed as she looked at me as I sat down.

"They all left to get dinner from the pizzeria if you wanted to know."

I smiled and laughed a little. "Cool, so now we for Sweetie's mom and Dad?"
