“And you are positive you feel fine Mr..”

“Taylor.” Nick finished for the doctor quickly, he had been sitting in the hospital for a good two days. Sighing softly, having a LOT to think about during that time.

The doctor rubbed his chin, "I still do not see how you're ma-"

Nick raised his hand, "stop. Right there. I'm not undressing anymore then I already need to, I am male. M A L E! MALE!" He shouted as the doctor looked at him with a raised eyebrow before sighing. "Fine, male it is." He said rolling his eyes and marking Nick down as male before stepping out of his room. The human laying back down as he rubbed his hair groaning softly.

Eris’s head popped out from underneath the covers of Nick's bed. “Hey!” She said as Nick jumped slightly. “Eris! I told you to stop doing that!” He said narrowing his eyes.

The draconequus smiled widely, “I know. I disobeyed.” She said as her head disappeared and her whole body appeared in a chair. “Fluttershy and the others should be coming in soon.”

Nick sighed softly as he turned over sitting up his feet planting against the cold wooden floor as he rubbed his hair. “Mr. Taylor I wouldn't advise you move yet!”

“I'm fine. Hell of a lot better than I was yesterday…” He said sighing softly, Nick had still been beating himself up a bit for what happened with the Manticore and Erebus.

He could still that wave of fear and sheer helplessness wash over him when he was stabbed in the shoulder by its barbed tail. Nick hid his emotions pretty well, having a pretty shit past he learned to hide how he truly feels about things pretty well.

He heard the door open, Twilight stepping forward. "How do you feel?" She asked him, the human rubbed his shoulder giving her a small smile. The princess rubbed her chin looking at him intently, "I'm feeling a lot better actually heh...I heal fast." He said shrugging a bit his shoulder still extremely sore.

"Sweetie Belle was asking about you all afternoon," Rarity said stepping in. The small filly stepping in behind her, her eyes widening. "NICK!" She shouted running forward leaping up and hugging onto him. Nick winced before hugging her back smiling. "Good to see you too kid." He said smiling softly.

Erebus narrowed his eyes, working on the small black and red box. "What do you want?" He asked not even looking behind him, "what happened to our agreement Erebus? Me and the others are not happy with your choices.."

"They can shove it Shade," Erebus replied as he turned around looking at a Unicorn, his horn completely sliced off but yet replaced with a red one with the base being grey. "Tsk, be fucking grateful I even gave you power once again."

Shade narrowed his eyes his fur a dark shade of grey and a massive scar running down his side. His cutie mark being twin swords crossing into each other with a dark aura surrounding them. "I wanted MY horn back." Shade said growling softly as Erebus laughed.

"Why would you want your petty excuse of a horn back? I've given you King Sombra's horn, and with my intellect actually tie it to your own magic reserves! I could've used that horn by itself for research to enhance my mutations and experiments! But I took pity on you and the others." Erebus replied.

"I fucking helped all of you, the least you could do is respect my decisions. I'm not some pawn, I am the master." He said narrowing his eyes at Shade.

Shade's eyes mimicking that of King Sombra's as they glowed softly. His horn flashing in color as he fired off a blast at Erebus, who quickly evaded by his warp ability. Appearing above Shade he held onto the hilt of a blade, it exploding to life with a bright crimson red blade. Bringing down the blade Shade quickly dodged to the side, firing another bolt at Erebus who evaded yet again.

The magic hitting the wall growing massive black crystals as Erebus growled softly, leaping forward he prepared to bring his blade down yet again Shade countering with a black shield.

Nick walked down the streets of Ponyville as he sighed softly, deciding to hang out with Sweetie Belle for a while. The filly was happy for Nicks safety as the human had his hands buried deep in his pockets. "Rarity has a surprise for you!" She said smiling widely, Nick raised an eyebrow looking at her. "Oh?" he asked his clothing still stained and torn.

Sweetie Belle nodded bringing him back to her home, opening the door. Quickly using her magic she wrapped a blindfold around Nick's eyes and put her hoof in his hands, grabbing onto it Nick followed her. "Just a bit further!" She said before walking up the stairs.

"Huh, this should be pretty good if you've gotta blindfold me. No wonder Rarity took off so fast from the hospital." Nick said chuckling a bit nervously, "Sweetie Belle you can take it off now." Rarity said as Nick felt the blindfold slide off of his face, hovering in front of him was a fresh pair of clothing. Nick's eyes widening as he looked picking them up, but one piece stuck out from the rest.

A large black hoodie with green outlines going around the edges and stitching, and one massive green bar going down the middle as he then turned it around. In bold stood a massive 10 as Nick smiled widely, "Rarity thank you thank you THANK YOU!" He shouted as he hugged her tightly.

The mare smiled softly nuzzling into his cheek, "anything for a friend darling! Free of charge!" She said as Nick's smile grew better, "to be honest I thought the white outlines would being it out but I like the green better! Good pick!" He said as the marshmallow mare blushed, "again darling anything for a friend..." She said smiling at him.

Nick nodded as he looked at them, "I'm actually gonna go try these on! Hold up, lemme just get to the bathroom!" He said excitedly, he never realized how much he would appreciate new clothes until he came to Equestria, slipping into the back Nick went to change as he grinned.

Erebus slammed his foot into Shade's muzzle sending him flying across the room. His back hitting a wall and knocking off a torch, leaping forward Erebus grabbed him by the horn the unicorn having a bloody look of disgust on his face.

Erebus smiled widely having barely take any damage at all before flinging the unicorn across the room again, attempting to stand Erebus slammed his foot down on the side of the unicorns skull pinning him to the ground and putting the edge of his blade to his eye. "Tell the others never to trifle with me Shade. I have my reasons for allowing the human to live for now. He won't be staying for long but I have my reasons."

"Y-yes sir.." Shade said reluctantly, Erebus only applying more pressure. Shade's skull felt like it was going to pop, "say it louder worm."

"YES SIR!" He shouted as Erebus grinned widely, moving his foot away he smiled. "There we go much better, now leave me." he said going back to his workbench, the blade in his sword retracting. Shade shakily standing, he had only recently had King Sombra's horn attached to him. He was still inexperienced but when he figured out to use it, Erebus would pay...

Shade used his magic to teleport disappearing as Erebus looked at his Manticore. The beast perking up looking at him, awakened from all the commotion and fighting. "Good kitty, you two will have your meal soon..." He said as he rubbed his helmet.

Nick stepped out of the bathroom wearing his new clothing as he rubbed his chin, "hmmmmm everything is great! The jacket fits perfectly and the pants feel amazing!" He said as he stretched a bit.

Rarity smiled at him, "thank you darling! I'm sorry though I put off a lot of my orders to work on that, she said as Nick nodded. "I understand, again thank you!" He said as he stepped out Sweetie Belle smiling.

Nick had been carrying his old clothes in his hands, deciding to head back to Twilight’s castle. Letting out a soft sigh he looked at his new clothes before smiling, “hmm...at least I have new shit to wear…” He said chuckling softly.

Nick looked up as he opened the door to the castle, Twilight waiting for him. “Nick. We need to talk.” She said as the human raised an eyebrow. “About?”

“Erebus.”

Author's Notes:

I'll be honest I'm not very confident in this chapter, I literally wrote it all during school so it may seem a bit all over the place. But I did want to finally give Nick new clothes and do more with Erebus so. There you go :3

But this will probably result me in putting out the next chapter today as well.
