I sat in the town hall with Celestia and Luna at my side. In front of us were four ponies and one dragon. Twilight’s family and Blueblood but Twilight herself had their horned removed forever taking away there magic. Spike for his part was chained down on his knees with his hands chained to both the floor and wall. I leaned back in my chair as I looked at Twilight and her father. “Ok, Celestia I believe you and Luna have punishments already prepared.” Celestia smiled as she looked at them then stood up a smirk on her face.

“Yes, for come first as ponies say. Twilight Sparkle, Twilight velvet and Nightlight you have been charged and found guilty of foalnapping, attemed murder of the crown king of equestria. Each of you has a sentence which abone leaving this hall you will be taken by the guards to follow said punishment. First off, Nightlight Sparkie you will serve ten years of labber in the mountains mines. Once done you will be given a thousand bits as well as a ticket to a random location out of equestria boards. Twilight velvet you have been branded as a breeding mare as well has a maid to our blood line for the rest of your life. Lastly Twilight Sparkle my former student you will have an important role as one of the elements of harmony as such I can’t banish you as I’d like too. There for you should also spend the rest of your life as breeding mare and maid to our bloodline.”

Luna nodded as she stood from her set then walked over to Spike then grabbed his head spikes.

“Your mine, my guards are digging up some of the old world 'Punishment equipment’ for me to use.”

“No.”

They looked at me and I glared at Luna as she let him go.

“Wh….”

“I will not condone turture of any kind on a teen.” Luna frowned then crossed her arms as she turned then kicked Spike in the face. ”LUNA!” She flinched then sat back down a deep frown on her face. I looked at Spike who had blood dripping from his nose and mouth. I sighed then stood and grabbed an iron sword from my side as well as the second headband. I stabbed it through the chains holding him down. Once free he looked at me as I left the sword in front of him.

“Leave, then come back to face me in three years. But, if you attack anyone we care for I’ll track you down and break every bone in your body then scale you alive before killing you.” He nodded then grabbed the sword and headband as a blue glow covered him then a flash and he was gone. I looked at Luna a frown on my face but she smiled as she looked at me.

“I only teleported him to a random location in the dragon lands.”

I blinked as I looked at her then nodded my head as I looked at the last stallion. Blueblood looked up at me a frown on his face. He spit on foot then smirked as he looked up at me. I kicked him with the foot knocking out three of his teeth.he coughed up some blood. I reached down and grabbed his mane then pulled him up. “Do that again and I’ll bleed you to death.” I dropped him back to the ground then looked back at Celestia and Luna. Both smiled as they looked at me then I looked Luna in the eye. “He’s your Luna make it hurt.”

“Oh, I will. I’ll fix him like Cadence did to that male whorse.”

Twilight looked like she wanted to kill us but knew her life belong to us now but mostly was mine. I sighed then closed my cloak before walking over to the door. “I’ll see you girls later I’ve got to go and check something.”

“Is something wrong?”

I looked back at Luna as she held her hood on the back of Blueblood’s head as she looked at me. “I don’t know just a bad feeling is all.” I walked out the door then stopped as the majors door opened. Rarity walked out with Sword in her arms asleep with a hand full of her dress in his hand. She saw me and smiled as she quickly walked over and kissed me quickly then wrapped her tail around my wrist then pulled it a few times. I smiled as I started to walk and just before we walked out of the town hall I grabbed her flank. She jumped almost waking Sword up then turned her head to glare at me a blush on her face.

“A little grabby today.”

“You love it.” Her face got redder than unwrapped her tail as I opened the door for her.

“I can’t believe I fell in love with you.”

I laughed as I looked down at her then walked beside her. But, I noticed a hooded figure with a huge blue hoof marks on the right side following us not to far away from us. I stopped and whoever it was stopped about twenty feet away. “Rarity it seems my feeling was wrong. Get to the house now I have to deal with an unwanted guest.” Rarity turned and saw the large figure looking at us.

“That mark.”

The figure nodded its head to the side and I nodded. I started to walk but Rarity grabbed my arm.

“What do you think your doing?”

“If whoever this was wanted to attack they could have before I noticed. Odds are whoever this is wants to talk if not then so be it.” Rarity looked worried but let my arm go and the figure started to walk down the road. Soon enough I was beside the figure and saw breast when I was close. ‘Female hoofs clicking so maybe a pony. No long though musole tho no horn so not a unicorn or deer. But, she’s large at least a few inches shorter than me. It was clear she’s a build female with how heavy her steps were. Soon enough we were in the hills and the female turned to face me. A large large grabbed the cloak then threw it off. A large female Yak looked at me a large battle-axe on her back. She was dressed in a leather bikini and pants working as both clothes and light armor. Her fur was blade like my hair with eyes blue like mine but lighter them mine.

‘battle-axe.”

“I am Bodil daughter of Brynjar of Yak in far north kingdom! Fight me Troy Thanatos!”

She pulled her battle-ax off her back then charged me. I dodged a down swung but a small movement to the right. She swung up another attack almost the spike on the top. ‘Almost like the one I made up to show Luna.’ She swung again but I grabbed the blade edge of the axe. “Not bad you’ve got strength and you should be proud of it. But, raw power can only get you so far in a fight.” I slammed my palm into her gut and she let go of the handel. She dropped coughing as she held her gut. I threw the axe up then grabbed the handle as she looked up at me I spun the axe around my arm and around my body cutting the air at times as I looked down at her. I smashed the edge down in front of her hoofs seeming to scare her.

“How?’’

I smiled as I sat down on the ground as she started to sit up. I rested my arms on my legs showing the swords on my sides as well as a dozen knives strapped to my sides in open knife holsters. “Listen, a battle-axe is a straight forward weapon for a beginner but if you can’t get creative then your going to die. I could have killed you five times after that down or up swing. You really need to move beyond the basic strikes.” She looked at me for a second then grabbed the axe then pulled it out of the ground.

“I see, the stories dragons in our land were saying is true. You strong very strong to beat dragons and yak.”

I laughed as I got to my feet then held a hand out to her. She smiled then took my hand and I helped her up. “If you’d like I could help you northers man to northes yak.” She looked at me strangely as she grabbed her cloak.

“What you mean?”

I smiled as I explained where I told everyone I was born. She seemed shocked we were born in places so alike. We walked back into town and ran into Shy as she was out shopping.

“Hi Troy, who’s this?”

She kissed my cheek and I took the bags she was carrying in her arms. “Bodil daughter of Brynjar she came to fight me but got her flank kicked.” Bodil frowned a little as we all started to walk again. Soon we got to the house all the girls but Luna had gather at the house thanks to Rarity. “Where’s Luna?” I looked over to Celesta as she cradled Flare.

“Last I saw making Blueblood into a mare with rusted jagged dagger.”

I turned a little peel as the thought of pain like that popped into my mind. My body shock for a second then I nodded my head side to side quickly. “Ok, well Bodil fighting me can be the only reason you came all this way.” We all looked over at her as she was petting Snowball. She looked up at me then stood up.

“Yes, deer come to yak homeland threaten to kill and enslave yaks. I come thinking dragon slayer could help crush deer.”

I nodded seeing why she came here to ask for help. “I wouldn’t mind helping but I have to think of how this would affect Equestria in the short and long term. If a war starts from this then the country could get dragged in.” Celestia nodded as she looked at me. But, Bodil looked fear full as she looked at me.

“But, yaks died if you not come!”

“I feel for you but I have to think of the lives I’m responsible for. A war would destroy many families and lives if we get into a full scale war.” She looked down at the ground and I knew I couldn’t do anything. It would be the same as killing them myself. “But, if I were to say come as hired sword then a war against us would make them all the more aggressors in the conflict. Meaning we could call for aid if needed meaning they can’t effectively attack anyone without a solid reason.” She smiled and Celestia seemed to like where I was going but a few of the other girls didn’t seem to like the idea.

“Hold on that means you’d be in a war zone doesn’t that seem like a bad idea?”

I looked over at Silver as she held our son close to her chest as she looked at me.

“What if they capture you or maybe even have a way to kill you?”

I laughed a little as I looked over at her a smile on my face. “I understand Silver but an army of nearly two milion couldn’t kill me what makes you think a few thousand can take me out?”

“You haven’t fought a magic army before.”

I looked at Sweetie who had a deep look of fear in her eyes. “Sweetie, magic doesn’t affect me so that’s not a problem. The most worrisome thing I would have to deal with is dealing with weapons they may have to attack me with. I can take them out without much trouble.” The argument died there as they knew I wasn’t backing down from this.

“Then we’re coming along.”

I looked over to Nightmare and Daybreaker both looking ready for a fight. ”Oh?”

“Best option, we can come and watch your back.”

I looked at them then sighed and smiled as I looked at them. “Ok, but the two of you will need to keep up if and went a battle breaks out.” They smiled as I started to walk to the master bedroom. “Give me a minute, I want some of my armor.” I walked into the walk-in closet then got my chest plate, shoulder guards, arm guards and thigh guards. With the armor on, I walked out of the room and saw Nightmare in her armor with her mane in a ponytail same with Daybreaker. “Magic is cheating.” They laughed as we walked out of the house Bodil looking shocked as we walked and talked. We got to the train station and boarded in first class carts. Bodil looked shocked as she looked around the cart. I smirked as I looked at her as she looked around. “Your room in number seven were in nine if you need anything.”

“Thanks.”

She walked to the room and we walked into our room. The room was the same as when I rode with Cadence a little while back. Daybreaker sat in the chair as Nightmare and I sat down on the bed. “Ok, I need a map as soon as we get there and hopefully its a mountain rage. I can teach them mountain combat as well as mountain traps.”

“Your lucky it is a mountain range one of the largest in the world.”

I couldn’t help but smirk as a plan started to form in my mind. “Perfect, that means we can force then into a narrow area making large number useless. Maybe we can even use rock slides to block area off to them.”

“Ok think later, we need to talk.”

I looked at her a frown on my face. “What?” She frowned as she looked at me.

“Why are you helping the northern yaks? Their stupid muscle headed brut…”

She stopped as I crossed my arms tapping my foot as she looked at me then she quickly shut her mouth. “Oh no, please keep going, you know most of what your saying is really interesting.” Daybreaker looked away slight fear in her eyes as she looked at the wall. “That’s what I thought. As for why, she kinda reminds me of home in a way. Plus, a chance to kill some of those fucking deer that is a chance I couldn’t pass up.”

“So your just doing this to fight?”

I smiled as I looked at Daybreaker. “Maybe.”

“Whoa, I forgot I have something for you!”

Nightmare yelled as she opened her magic space then pulled out a sword like Murasame.

“I had the master smiths of the bat ponies make it from the dragon scales and part of the fangs.”

I smiled then grabbed the sword and I noticed was weighed more than it looked like it was. I drew the sword and saw it was a little longer them Murasame with a wave tang. I sheathed the sword then put it on my side a smile on my face.

“Thanks but what’s the swords master name?”

“Sword crafter, He’s the oldest bat pony smith out of all the smiths in the land.”

I smiled as I looked at the sword then started to think. “Well, what should we name it?” They looked at me as I looked back at them.

“Why do you want to name a sword?”

I looked at Daybreaker a frown on my face as I looked at her. “A master’s sword always needs a name so those who see it fear it. Murasame’s name struck fear into the hearts of men.”

“Well, it a sword so maybe something to do with steel or scales.”

“Maybe, but I want something to do with my clan since the girls picked the names I want one from my tribe.”

“Well, what did you have in mind?”

I thought about it for a second then I had it. “I know Tanda!”

They looked at me for a second then Nightmare grabbed the sword then drew it from my side.

“Ok, How is that spelled?”

“Tanda. It means the seer of life and death a name given to a female warrior after she’s been named one of the ten saint warriors.”

“Interesting, what is a saint warrior?”

I nodded as I laid back on the bed as she used her magic to engrave the name onto the sword. “There the ten strongest members of the northern tribes. Ten is the weakest and one is the strongest.”

“Where do you fall in?”

I looked at the door and saw Bodil holding it opened. I blinked and I knew I had to make it seem like I was being cocky. “I guess I would fall around three or four given the ten when I was amount humans. Now, comparing my skills and new abilities I guess I’d be the third strongest fighter of the northern tribe.”

“Only the third!?”

They all yelled as I looked up at the roof. “Ya, the two strongest fighters in my day and age were more skill and much more experienced fighters them me. “In terms of raw potential I’m an a class at best the two are on a whole nother level real monsters their s class fighters.”

“A and S class?”

“It’s how we humans class are fighting ability compared to the danger beast.”

“I see so why are you classed as a and not s?”

I grabbed the sword from her as I laid on the bed. “I never killed an s class beast. Those things are beyond my ability to fight and kill barehanded or with a weapon.” Nightmare looked at me shocked as what she was hearing.

“Well, I have a question?”

I leaned up to look at Daybreaker. “Ya?”

“Have you ever lose a fight?”

I laughed as I looked at her then burst out laughing as I fell back onto the bed. “Me, lose a fight?! Haha!” Nightmare slapped the side of my head making me laugh harder.

“You crazy.”

I laughed harder as we rode down the tracks.

Applebloom pov

I walked around town Axe in a foal stroller as I shopped with Shy. Mares around town would stop and talk to us or to play with Axe as he grabbed at their hands or manes when they got their heads to close. As she shopped I heard screaming coming from around a corner. I looked at Shy and she was looking at the corner. We quickly walked over and saw the human woman standing over two large stallions and was holding a third by the throat.

“Touch me again! I’ll make you regret ever being a male!”

She punched him hard across his face and he dropped blood coming from his mouth. She waved her hand as she walked away from them the guards watching falling as they moved to get out of the way clearly scared of her.

“Celestia, she’s a lot like Troy on the whole fighting thing. But. she seems to have a hair trigger when it comes to males.”

I nodded as we watched her walk away but she stopped then turned around coming back. Everypony ran as she walked back up to the stallions. She turned them onto their sides letting a little blood coming from their mouths and noses. I laughed then started to walk over to her as she stood up. She saw me and smiled as she looked up at me.

“Oh, hey Applebloom. Had to deal with so stallion’s who got a little touchy.”

I laughed as she Shy walked up me side me. The woman picked up Axe making me a little worried as I looked at her. I noticed one of the stallions behind her and I was scared.

“YOU WHOR…”

She threw her arm back grabbing and crushing his throat as she looked down at Axe who laughed as he looked at her. He grabbed her arm as he fell to his knees blood coming from his mouth.

“Don’t worry little Axe aunt Bree isn’t going to let any of these jerks touch her. So she wants you to go with mommy to the house.” She shook her arm and I very quickly took Axe from her maybe to fast as she seemed upset by the speed I took him from her.

“What?”

She asked with a hand raised as she kicked the stallion back into a building. ‘Are all humans this strong!?’ Me and Shy quickly walked away as she watched us before walking off.

“I think we should wait to deal with her until Troy gets back.”

I nodded as I looked back at Shy while she kept an eye on her until she was gone.

“Bloom!”

I stopped and saw Applejack running down the ran a smile on her face. She had a bag in her hand and she held it out me when she was in front of me. I took it from her hands and opened the bag. There as a small cowboy suit in it and I slightly smiled as I looked at him. I pulled it out then showed it to Axe as he chewed on his hand. “Axe honey look your aunty got you a nice suit.” He looked at it then kicked at as if he hated then started to swing his arms trying to hit it. I pulled it back up and Applejack looked a little upset but smiled a second later.

“I-i guess he don’t much care for it.”

“Sorry sis, maybe when he's a little older he’ll like it more.”

She smiled as she looked at me then we started to talk as we started to walk back to the house. We meet up with most the girls as we walked Sweetie having been at home the whole day. The doctor told her it was normal for a dificale birth and she had to say in bed like she was told too. Rarity had stayed to make sure she was in bed. I laid Axe down for a nap as as the other girls did the same. Luna for her part held her boys as they slept as she walked around. Celetia did the same with Ameerah and Flare as she sat in Troy’s reclining rocking chair. Cadence walked out of her room with Flurry in her arms. She had gone to the doctor and had her scars removed from her arms and stomach but let the ones on her chest but had her other nipple repaired.

“Everyone some help here!”

We looked at the door and saw Bertha waving us over to the door. Celestia and Luna quickly ran over after handing off the foals to some of the others then ran over to the door. I was behind them then stopped as I saw a small army outside our door. Luna quickly threw up a dome around the house but stopped when a bull walked out with a brand of the night raid symbol on his chest.

“Miss, it the dark swordsman here!?”

He yelled and we all looked at one another as Celestia myself and Luna walked out to the edge of the dome as Night guards and solar guards came running. They surrounded them as a few drew their weapons as they looked at them. Luna walked up to the bull as two more leaders seemed to walk up. One was a large lion with a long scar down his chest with the brand on his forearm. The other as a female wolf but I didn’t see a brand on her because of her clothes. She was dressed in a pair of jeans with a white shirt on with a brown jacket on.

“Are you talking about Troy and why do you have his mark on your bodies?”
There was an edge to Celestia tone as she looked at them and the bull and lion back off slight but the wolf stared her down.

“He freed many of us from slave camps or helped our families. A lot of us have gathered to join his guard branch.”

We looked at her shocked then Luna smiled as she dropped the dome then waved her arm in a circle. The guards formed on the house and she used her magic to summon a table and a few stacks of sign up papers. “Luna?”

“Applebloom give us a hand please.”

She summons some chairs as a night guard spoke up.

“All right! Line up for the sign up sheets! The king is away right now but you can still sign up for his branch! As the normal case you will be paid a sign up bonus in a few days. During that time you must give us a current address for us to send both payments and information in the future.”

They smiled as Celestia sat down and I did as well. We spent a few hours handing out papers for names, races, skills, medical needs and any other information needed. As we collected the papers at the end of the day there were almost seven-hundred pages of information. Guards split them up by skills and combat experience. It was nine o’clock at the end of the day and they were sent to canterlot mountain to stay at the guard barracks until Troy got back. I leaned back in my chair stretching out as Celestia and Luna smiled as they watched them go.

“It's great to see what comes after Troy gets involved. It’s not all blood and death behind him as he thinks.”

We all laughed a little but stopped as the wolf girl walked back up to us. She looked down at us for a second then pulled out a sheet of paper from her jacket.

“Here, this is a letter from the governor of rough rubies city.”

Took it and she walked off to get with her group. I opened the letter and found a photo of the dog with what looked like her mother, father and siblings. I pulled the letter out then started to read it.

I am writing this letter to both thank you for saving my oldest daughter and helping her get home. And to invite you to our home to my home for a feast. I ask you to come as I wish to think you face to face. My dogs also wish to meet the one who has been freeing us from enslavement.

Sighed Emerald Hound

I smiled as I handed them the letter and stood from my seat then walked back into the house a smile on my face.

Troy pov

We arrived at the last station then started to hike up the mountain. I smiled as I walked along an old dirt path. I took off my cloak as I enjoyed the cool mountain air. I smiled then grabbed a handful of snow and took a bite out of it. “I’ve missed fresh snow.” I smiled as I dropped down into the snow and rolled around then stopped sighing as I laid on the ground.

“What’s gotten into you?”

I looked up Nightmare a smile on my face as I looked at her. “I feel like I’m in my homeland again. All the snow, freezing winds as wells the thin air helps build up stamina but no monsters to fight.”

“How do you build up stamina with thin air?”

“Stamina and endurance are intimately tied to how well we can process oxygen during an activity. The best way to improve the availability of oxygen is to be able to breathe more powerfully and efficiently. So growing up in a place with thin air makes your lungs stronger and you build up more strength in them. So, when you have more oxygen intake your body can take a whole new level.” They all nodded and I got up and looked around. I saw a large gate with two yaks on each side holding a shield and torch.

“Well, maybe I should come up here and live like back hom…”

Nightmare grabbed my throat and yelled.

“Buck no! It’s freezing and I don’t want you running off for days like you did in the bucking forest!”

I smiled as I grabbed my swords as they watched me. “Let see how good your defences are.” I kicked off kicking up a massive snow cloud as I charged the gate. I could hear the girls yelling as I charge the but I ignored them. As I got closer I saw a few yaks on the walls but only one noticed me. I jumped up to the yaks and landed on a platform on the top of the wall. They all looked at me then I moved on them. I slammed my fist into the gut of the closets yak sending him into the wall knocking him out. I turned then knocked another yak in the jaw and he dropped. I looked at the last female yak as she looked at me shocked. I smiled as I looked at her but Nightmare and Daybreaker tackled into me to the ground.

“Are you crazy!?”

I laughed as I watched the female running away. I pushed them off as I sat up and started to wait. “Nope, I wanted to see how they’d react to an attack. I’m not impressed by what I’m seeing right now but we’ll see what happens.” We waited and the two yaks I knocked out woke up. I explained why I attacked them helping them calm down as more yaks came running. I frowned as I looked at the largest Yak. He had a large sword in and was about to charge me when they grabbed him.

“Prince Rutherford stop!”

He struggled to attack me but I smiled as I looked up at him. I smiled then stood up and was as tall as him but he had a half a size of muscles more than me. ‘Hm, I can take him.’

“I SMASH YOU!”

I smiled as I grabbed the blade of the sword then started to bend it. All of them started to move to the side as I bent the sword. “To knock some damn sense into you all. You have an army coming this way and you only have three guards keeping watch. On one side of the damned gate.” I covered my hand in ice then fully grabbed the sword and janked it from his hand. The three of them fell to the ground and I threw the sword over the side of the wall.

“My Sword!”

I laughed then lifted the two of them up then looked at the prince. “You get up, your getting punched got me?” He frowned then lay back on the ground as the hair on his face fell to the side. “Smart.” I held a hand out for him to take. He looked at it for a second then took my hand and I helped him up.

“Thanks.”

I smiled as I looked up at him. “No problem Prince Rutherford.” He smiled then slammed punched my face. I didn’t budget an inch but smiled as I looked at him. I grabbed his arm kicked out his leg and twisted the arm making him turn as I pinned him to the wall face first. I kicked his lower back hard making him yell as the other yaks looked on scared of with I was doing. I looked over at Nightmare and Daybreaker. They were both smiling and Daybreaker had a blush and was biting her fingers as she looked at me. I laughed then let him go and he fell to the side outcold.

“I wish you’d be more like this more often Troy. You would make it a lot easier to deal with the nobles plus you know a few of us like the rough stuff.”

I laughed a little the grabbed the prince then threw him over my shoulder. “Alright! I want a guard shift on all walls. NOW!” The yaks quickly moved as I ordered them to move. I grabbed the Yak and she came running up the steps. She looked at me eyes wide as she looked at me.

“The prince!”

“Don’t attack the big dog. Now, tell me where does he live?”

She pointed to a large castle like house and I nodded as I jumped off the wall into the town. I slammed down into the square scaring the population as I booked it down the road. I got to the house dust trailing me as I ran. I stopped at the front door and shocked the guards at the sides of the door. “Take this, I have to talk to the king.” I threw the prince down and they tried to grab me as I opened the large doors. I slammed the right guards head into the wall knocking him out then I looked at the other guard. I waved my hand as a way of saying come get me. To his credit he had a pair then jumped at me and I sent him flying into a house. “At least one yak has a pair.” I grabbed the prince as I walked in and found a huge yak with a crown on his head with a black coat in a suit of armor. Beside him was a female yak a lot like the female that came to get me. But, her coat was completely white with a smaller set of horns. Through her hair I saw blue eyes like mine looking down at me. I held up the prince shocking them both.

“SON!”

The king jumped from his throne and charged me a huge battle-axe in hand. I sighed then clovered my right leg in ice then threw it up blocking the incoming overhead strike. A small blast of air came from his attacking impacting my foot but I didn’t move. “Not a bad hit, but you don’t have near what it takes to beat me.” I pulled my leg back then kicked the battle-axe and the force flipped him burying it into the floor. He looked up at me eyes and mouth wide as he looked at me. I nodded my head then threw the son on top of him. I walked over to the queen if I was guessing right. “Your Highness a female warrior came to my home asking for help with an upcoming battle with the deer kingdom. I have reasons for wanting to fight them so I have come to ask if you’d like a hand.” The scared yak looked at me then the still shocked king and nodded her head.

“Yes, we’d like the help.”

I smiled up at he as she sat on her throne. ‘At least she talks normally.’ A few hours passed as we set the battle plans. The prince and King were make but didn’t try their luck. Nightmare and Daybreaker got the guards on point and soon the walls were ready and waiting.
