I sighed as I came out of my thoughts then looked to the right passed Troy’s throne to the right and saw my depressed sister. Her head hung low as she held onto the burnt cloak.
“I really bucked up didn’t I Luna?”
Looking into her hollow eyes I sighed as I nodded my head. “Yes, you did sister and it cost you your place in the herd.” Reminding her of that sore part she looked away from my gaze.
“At least he didn’t take Flare Star from me and will at least tolerate me.”
“I’m sorry sister but Troy told us to vote and you have to pay the price you know the rules of a herd.”
Luna pov one week ago
I sat in the master meeting hall with my herd sisters around me all of us looking at my sister as she tried and failed to get Troy to talk to her as he cut away on a piece of wood with a knife.
“Troy come on please say something!”
He just looked up at her for a second then looked back at the wood.
“Celestia just stop!”
Cadence yelled from my left and she looked back at us. I crossed my arms knowing what was going to happen when Applebloom and Sweetie stood up.
“Celestia were calling a vote of the herd to remove you from the herd on the ground of attacking the stallion of the herd.”
She looked at them shocked then Troy stopped working on the wood. I looked at it and saw he had carved a wooden dagger with a covered crack. He spun it around his fingers as he finally spoke.
“This is a sigh from my tribe we make when were attacked. It’s given as a warning of death if attacked again.”
He threw it at her hoofs and she looked down at it. Then he stood up and walked over to the door.
“When this is done someone come to my office and let me know is going on.”
He opened the door and walked out slamming the door. It was clear he was still very angry as I saw the door handle was bent in from his grip. I looked back as my sister quickly tried to defend her attack on him but it fell on deth ears as Applebloom spoke up.
“All in faviere of removing Celestia.”
Sweetie and Scootaloo’s hand flew up followed by Diamond, Silver, Bertha, Rarity, Cadence, Daybreaker and Nightmare. Shy and I were the only ones who hadn’t raised I sighed as I raised my hand and I saw the look of pain grown in her eye. Applebloom looked at Shy as she looked at us.
“Shy it’s not full until you vote.”
“But she’s the mother of one of his foals!”
Sweetie snapped back as she looked at her.
“It’s not like he’s throwing her out into the streets. She’ll still be a queen and royalty but won’t be in the herd. Besides we all know Troy will calm down after some time goes by and she can come back if Troy asked us to vote on it again.”
“But…”
I smiled as I looked at her then spoke up to try and help my sister just a little. “Shy listen Sweetie is right. If Troy wants to let her back in the herd he can as long as we all agree.” She still looked unsure but she smiled as she looked at me.
“Ok, but I want us all to agree to something first.”
We nodded then she explained that she wanted Celestia to still be around all the other foals as it was clear she would do anything to protect them. Begrudgingly we all agreed and Celestia seemed to breathe a little sigh of relief.
Luna present pov
I looked at her for another moment my thoughts were interrupted as the throne room door opened. Twilight walked in in the maid outfit and noticed she looked a little better.
“Where can I find Troy Queen Luna.”
I stood up and walked down to her. “Yes, I’ll take you to him.” She bowed to my sister before she followed me out. As we walked I looked at her as she walked her hands over the front of her skirt. “I see you got the weight you lost back.” She nodded as she looked straight ahead.
“Yes, Thanks to Troy we got our full meals and sleep time back. But, the head maid is living in fear of his wrath.”
“What of your mother?”
She frowned a little as she looked forward then sighed as she rubbed her eyes before stopping. I stopped then looked at her as she looked at me again. She huffed seeming to be angry she was.
“Somehow that human convinced her that he’s not some monster.”
I glared at her and she realized who she was talking too. She laughed then quickly started to walk again and I followed my arms crossed as I walked up beside her. I watched her as we walked out into the training ground as Troy spared with two larger teen dragons. One of the dragons was on the ground his red and yellow scales were bruised up. The second one was a female with some blood on her claws with Troy’s shirt ripped to shreds.
“Guess she’s a tough dragoness.”
I nodded as she jumped at Troy. He threw his arm up blocking the strike then he wrapped his arm around her arm. He grabbed her left horn then jerked her head down as he threw a knee into her face. But to my shock she threw her arm out catching his throat. I watched as he threw an elbow straight into her jaw and forced a release then he ducked behind her. Troy threw his arms around her chest locking her arms to her side . She tried to open her wings and was kicking like crazy but Troy lifted her up then started fall back head first. Her head crashed down and she was out cold. I smiled as he stood back up shaking his shoulder then kicked the air a few times then he turned and saw us. He smiled and gave a wave before picking the two dragons up.
“Hey Luna call some medics these two wanted to see how well they could fight.”
I laughed then called back into the castle hall. Two of my night guards came running to me spears in hand. They ran up then snapped to attention.
“My queen!”
I smiled loving the ring of queen. “We need medics for the two dragons that fought the king.” The looked around me as I turned my head as Troy dropped them next to the door. Troy wrapped his arms around me and I leaned back into him ruffling my wings as I sighed a little.
“How are the boys?”
I looked back at him as he looked down at me. “Scootaloo is watching them for me. I can’t keep the twins quiet when I have them in the throne room.” He laughed then kissed the top of my head.
“Ah ain’t you’ll cute.”
We looked at the side and saw Applebloom with Ax in her arm. Troy let me go then walked over and Applebloom let him take Ax. he smiled as Ax reahced out and grabbed his hair then started to junk and pull it. He laughed as he let him play with his long hair. I couldn’t help but think of how painful it was when the colts pulled on my mane. ‘How can he stand that?’
“Queen Luna.”
I looked back at Twilight as she looked at me. “Right, Troy we need you to come with us.” He looked up as Ax started kicking his legs into his chest making small thump sounds.
“Ok, Bloom you want to come?”
“Sure.”
With that done we all walked behind Twilight as she lead the way. But I watched as Ax kept kicking and pulled all the while Troy seemed not to care one bit for then pain. He laughed and snapped his teeth at ax when he kicked making the small colt smiled.
“Whos my little ass kicker.”
“Troy!?”
Bloom yelled before grabbing his ear and pulled him down. He laughed as Ax kicked Blooms arm laughing as she jerked her arm back holding it.
“By the sun why his he kick so hard?”
I watched as a smile formed on his face.
“That’s my ass kicker. I can’t wait to see what happens when someone picks a fight with him.”
I laughed then slammed him on the back making him laugh more as we arrived at the older lab. Twilight opened the door for us and we walked in to see the orb in the center of a magic circle. She walked over to it then started to explain.
“I’ve tried the science route but nothing came from it as this orb is crystal base as you all know. Then I tried filling it with magic and did get a reaction in the form of a glow but nothing more. I think it may need a catalyst to fully activate it.”
We nodded then I had an idea as I looked at Troy. “Troy you grab it when it’s full of magic maybe something will happen.” He looked at me then shrugged as he looked at me.
“Sure.”
He gave Ax back to Applebloo then walked over to the circle.
Troy pov
I stood beside Twilight as she channeled magic into the circle and the orb floated off the ground a bright pink glow to it. I reached out to grab it and when I did it flashed blinding us for a second then I felt like I was being pulled. I tried to let go up I couldn’t the orb had opened a gate or portal whatever the hell it was.
“Troy!”
Luna and Applebloom ran over as I grabbed my wrist trying to free my hand then to our horror Ax was pulled from Bloom's other arm. She let me got then jumped to grab him but they both went through the portal. I pushed Luna back then let myself get pulled through. I fell on the ground and the portal closed orb in my hand.
“Troy!? Help!”
I jumped up drawing my sun and moon swords but stopped then I looked at Applebloom. She had turned into a human! “WHAT THE!?”
“I know, what did that orb do to me!?”
“I don’t know!”
“This is freaking me out!”
I sheathed my swords grabbed the orb then pit in my pocket then quickly walked over to her and our crying son. I helped her up then noticed we the sound of running. I turned my head and stopped as I looked at a second Applebloom. I just stopped and my Applebloom looked around me and saw her.
“The buck?”
The other Applebloom turned then started to run like a bat out of hell. “No wait!” She didn’t stop and kept running, As Ax cried louder as Bloom tried and failed to stop him. I did my hand trick again and he was out like a light. Bloom tried to walk on feet and not hooves but she was having trouble with the new body part. I held Ax as she held onto my arm as she walked. We made it maybe two hundred yards before we heard running. I gave Ax back to Applebloom then picked her up and jumped into a tree with a large branch. I land on the branch as six other humans ran up with the other Applebloom. I silently drew the moon sword as they looked around. I recognized two of them as Applejack and Rarity and damn she was hot. But all of them were arm so I kept as quiet as I could.
“Where did the go, and I can’t hear the baby no more.”
“Tr…” I grabbed her mouth but it was two late. They looked up and I jumped again. Breaking the branch as I landed then started to run. They yelled and screamed then started to run after us.
“They’re chasing us and their not too far.”
“Of course their not!”
I jumped again but shadow yelled in my mind.
‘Master behind you!’
I turned then blocked a spinning blade. Sparks threw as I threw the blade back as I looked at a flying Rainbow. I landed my back turned getting a good look at the others. They were all armed with weapons. Pinkie had knuckle like gloves with blades on the knuckles. Rarity had a fan blade with crystal edge. Rainbow landed with a large two sided blade. This twilight had a mac or long magic wand with a six pointed star at the top. Applejack had a single hand crossbow and Fluttershy had two chain scythes. I sent Bloom down then pushed her behind me as she held Ax to her chest.
“Troy?”
“Bloom get ready to run if I go down.” They slowly started to walk over to us but Ax woke up then started to cry again. The sound of the crying stopped them as they heard the sound. This Fluttershy took a bigger step then slowly set her weapon down on the ground as she looked at me.
“Can I have a look? I’m trained as a midwife.”
I looked at her for a second then Applebloom looked around me and looked at her.
“I-I think he’s just hungry.”
She smiled as she slowly made her way over to us then when she was close she put a hand on my blade then started to push it down. Fighting all my instincts I let her lower the sword. But, when she was close I grabbed her throat.
“Shy!”
Rainbow yelled as she was about to charge me but stopped as I spoke.
“If you hurt her or our son I will burn this place to the ground.” I let her go and she rubbed her throat but nodded as I stood aside. She walked up to Applebloom as I sheathed my sword to show I wouldn’t hurt her if I didn’t have too. She took Ax from Bloom’s arm then started to check him over.
“Oh, I see what wrong.”
She reached up and pulled a sharp stick from his hair. Ax calmed down a little then reached out for Applebloom. She took him as Fluttershy rubbed his head as the others slowly started to make they’re way over to us. I grabbed my hilet when Twilight reached out to touch him and she jerked her hand back. I huffed when I noticed my Applebloom looking at me. I stood all the way up and looked away.
“Wow, your a big one.”
I looked down at the human Pinkie but didn’t match her smile. ‘She’s got to be crazy like the other one.’ I put my hands in my pockets as the other Twilight tried again. I let her touch his head and she leaned in to get a good look at him.
“He’s got eyes like him.”
I said nothing as I looked down and saw both Appleblooms looking at Ax. He was looking between the two then and he started to tear up not sure what was going on. Bloom quickly hugged him to her chest stopping him before he could start then I noticed a few small differences between the two. My Applebloom was an inch or two taller with longer hair and a slightly darker colored eyes. He shoulder were a little larger as well with the other Blooms was more round.
“Say what’s your name?”
I looked down at Rainbow as she poked me with the blunt side of her weapon.
“Troy Thanatos.”
“Cool, I’m…”
“Rainbow Dash.” She stopped as she looked up at me as I smiled back at her. “We’ve got a lot to talk about as I know all of your or rather other versions of you.” Bloom laughed a little as she nudged the human Rarity.
“He knows the other you ‘real’ well.”
She winked and I blushed a little as Rarity’s face turned red. “Bloom please don’t.” She laughed into her free hand then kicked my shine.
“Oh hush, it’s hard enough to get any reaction out of you so let me have this.”
I crossed my arms then hugged me and uncrossed my arm a slight smile on my face as I wrapped my arm around her right shoulder. Then a chill ran up my spin then I turned my head and saw a set of eyes. I reached down to the moon sword catching the attention as a timber wolf jumped from the forest line.
I smirked then letting my sword go as the beast charged me. I shoot a death glare into the wolf's eyes and it seemed to relieve who the hunter is. It slammed it’s paws into the ground sliding to a stop as it kept looking at me. It stopped about four feet away from me and it was shaking like crazy and had sape if I had to guess coming from the bark skin. I let go of Bloom then took two steps over to the wolf they tried to shrink away from me. I smiled then reached out then touched it’s head. The wolf flinched as I touched but then I started to rub it’s head. I leaned down then rested a knee on the ground then saw it was a girl wolf. “Good girl, Your just hungry right?” I scratched her left ear making her kick the ground as her tail started to wag.
“Did you tame a timber wolf?”
I heard Twilight asked and I heard Bloom laugh as she spoke up.
“That’s nothing, he brought home a titan wolf and a manticore who until she was over two hundred pounds, though she was a lap cat.”
I laughed then grabbed both sides of the wolfs head and shook her head she yepped then pulled back and started to jump around wanting to play. She ran around me then sat down beside me. I smiled then started to rub her head as she led the side of her head into the side of my stomach.
“She’s not coming back if when we find a way home.”
I looked at Bloom as she walked over to me then kneeled down a little to look at her. She barked then licked her hand with a leaf like tongue leaving a sape like spit on her hand.
“Ew!”
She rubbed her hand on the ground and I laughed as I rubbed her head as the other as slowly as they could walk over weapons at the ready. But when they started to pet her they started to calm the now. We stayed there for a minute then I sent the wolf away before we left the apple rows. Applebloob still had trouble walking so I got her on my back with Ax in her arms. The other Applebloom looked at us as I walked then she started to talk.
“So who’s the babies mother?”
Bloom laughed as she told her she was the mother. Applejack stopped dead then I stopped to look at her. A wide smile was on her face then she reached out to take Ax.
“That means he’s our kin!”
I The second Applebloom just looked at us shocked as Applejack tried to hug the two on my back without pulling her from my hold. I was shocked at how quick these people were trusting and kind they were nothing like the other humans from my would. Soon enough we were walking again After Bloom finally let Applejack take him and was playing with his little hands. We walked up to the farm house and I stopped as I saw the human versions of Luna and Celestia with guards and the human Shining Armor. Luna was a slightly pale with long blue hair and was wearing a long blue dress with arm long gloved and a sword in hand. Her eyes were a beautiful teal colored eyes with slight blue lipstick on.
The Celestia was maybe about six inches shorter than me and hair the same hairstyle and eye color. She was in a white dress with gold bands on her wrist and waist with a color of lipstick close to a darker purple.
The human Shining was a whole head shorter than me with a broad sword stabbed into the ground. He was dressed in a purple armor with a six pointed star on the chest plate and sword guard. I laughed and Bloom did as well as we walked up to them. I was more than taller then anyone else here but Mac who was about four inches shorter than me.
“Wow”
I looked down at the Princesses as Applejack gave Ax back to Bloom as I let her off my back. I rested my arm on my swords and the guards were looking at me as the two princess seemed to be sizing me up. Like the first time I meet Celestia spoke first.
“Hello I’m…”
“Celestia and Luna also known as sweetie tia and little lulu.”
I laughed that there shocked faces then crossed my arms as I looked at the two of them. They looked at one another as Bloom laughed into her free hand. The two seemed to notice Ax for the first time then Celestia smiled as she waved at him. Bloom held him closer as she glared at her. Celestia looked confused and I suggested he got inside so we could explain everything that was going on. They nodded then we went inside but the second Shining was near me I grabbed his armor then threw him over the fence when he tried to come in. The fence was a good twenty feet away from the house. I smirked at the shocked look on everyone's shocked faces. “I dealt with one already and I won’t deal with another one. We sat in the living room and before Bloom knew it human Granny had snached Ax and took him off to the kitchen and she chased her. I sat on the floor my three swords on my shoulder the butts between my legs.
“So?”
I looked at the human Luna then sighed as I looked at her then pulled my phone from the bag I had strapped to my side. I opened the phone then opened my gallery Tenn looked through my photos until I got to the one of my and Celestia and Luna. They were still pregnant and were hugging me with Ameearh was in Luna’s left arm. I threw the phone over to Luna and she caught then looked then down at it. Celestia and everyone crowded around trying to get a look. They all looked at me with wide eyes as I smiled then waved for the phone back. Luna threw it back then I looked for my favorite of me and Rarity. I found it and smiled as I looked at her as she kissed my cheek and was holding Sword with a proud mother shirt with her mane in a ponytail. I threw it over the couch and Rarity caught it then looked down at the phone. Her jaw dropped then she looked at me and smiled as I looked at her. “Now with that part out of the way…” I held my hand out then she threw it back over to me.
“What’s his name?”
I looked at Rarity as she looked down at me. “Sword.” She smiled as she said the names a few times. Then I spent the next hour an half explain everything that had happened. What happened when I first showed up the slave camps, meeting Nightmare moon then later on Daybreaker my herd. Me killing our version of Shining Armor The births and my title as king over equestria and then formation of my army. Half way through Applebloom came back a feisty Ax in her arms. She gave him to them walked outside for some fresh air. I finished up as Ax janked and pulled my hair and kicked me a few times. At the end all of them were looking at as well as the few guards inside the house were shaking after I finished. Rainbow was the first to snap out of it.
“Ok ok, so let me get this straight. Your a human from a whole nother dimension or universe and your a member of a warrior tribe that breeds the most power humans in what a continent wide empire. You came your this other equestria and for months have gone on a wide ride and became a king?”
I laughed as I looked at her as I pulled Ax’s hands from my hair. “In short ya, honesty my new home is nice but I miss having someone I could call my equal in a fight. Enemies that go down with a single are all I get these days.” That seemed to get Celestia attention as she looked at her sister.
“Do you think?”
“Maybe…”
They looked at me and I raised an eyebrow as they looked at me.
“Would you be willing to help the crystal empire?”
