To start a new life

It’s been a week since we ran from the castle and had left the continent. We were heading to a country of four hundred territories and the ten kings of what I would call diamond dogs and bat people. Twilight said that they were called the same as their continent. The savages. From what she told me the four hundred were role by the strongest in a territory on the continent. The problem for us is that no outsiders can just come and live there. You must one of conquering one the territories. Then there are the ten kings on the continent. They all have equal to forty of the territories combined. I rubbed my eyes as I looked out the early morning light. I looked at the sleeping Twilight nuzzled into my side. I had one of my kagune around her and she was hugging one. ‘God, I can’t believe that she loves me.’ I looked out the airship window and saw the clouds and the other guest on deck.

Two days ago

“Nick, can we please talk about what I said?”

I looked at Twilight in the second bed in the room. She had told everyone at the castle that I was her boyfriend. That made the last five days awkward and I wouldn’t make eye contact with her. “Sorry, Twilight it’s just been strange for me. I mean that I like you a lot but that was so embarrassing.” She got up walked over to me and sat on my bed. She took one of my hands and held them.

“Come on if you feel love for me then why are you stubborn about this. Plus, I saw you looking at me when I walked out of the shower this morning~”

I blushed knowing I caught and looked away from her. “Damn it, I thought you didn’t see me.” She hit me with another bolt and I fell off the bed. I heard her laughed and laid on my bed and looked at me.

“You know if you just tell the truth then we can see how it will work.”

I sat up and looked at her and saw that sweet smile yet evil smile. “When did you turn evil instead of the cute bookworm of ponyville.” She laughed and looked at me and started to kick her legs back and forth in the air.

“When you started to teach me how to use that sword. Plus, the fact that I just feel super calm around you and I feel more confident.”

I smiled and laughed a little and extended out three kagune out and stocked her face. Then I wrapped two around her and lifted her off the bed and into my lap. Her back was to my chest and I hugged her with my tails wrapped around us. ‘Well I’m in for the ride of a life aren’t I?’

Present day

I heard a knocking at the door and I retracted my tails and looked at the door.

“Miss. Storm, Mr. Storm was about to get near the savage land.”

“Where is my warm snuggle bear.”

I looked down at her and saw a still asleep Twilight. I smiled and pulled a pillow down and she started to hug it. I stood from her bed and walked over to the door. I opened it and saw the captain with a worried look.

“Mr. Storm Please for the last time don’t go to the savage continent.”

I smiled at the old timer and held a hand out for a shack. He sighed and shook my hand and held a backpack to me with an axe on the side. I took it and thanked him and he left to lower the airship. I smiled then walked back in and closed the door. I walked over to a desk and opened the backpack. I was six books all but one of them about different ways to survive in six different manners. Then there was one about making and finding medicine and medicinal herbs. I set them on the desk and pulled out a large bag of bits. I was shocked to see that but when I remembers how I helped fix a major problem with the engine. ‘I’ll count it later.’ I sat that back down and saw about three weeks of food and two magic bottles of water. I smiled at that knowing that I any water we find will be cleaned when its magic filters they water in the bottles.

“Nnnnnnnniiiiiiiccccccckkkkkkkkk.”

I looked back and saw Twilight get out of bed and looked at me. She stopped when she saw the books and then pulled them to her in her magic.

“Books yes!”

I smiled and shook my head and put everything else back into the bag. I then got my shirt off Twilight still wore her shirt but she wanted to wear mine too. I just looked at her and surprised her by slapping her rear when she stood all the up. She epped and chased me around the airship and the guys yelled for me to run faster. ‘No shit Sherlock!’ We did this until the captain yelled for Twilight and me to not it off.

Two hours later

We hovered next to a cliff and I picked Twilight up and jumped onto the cliff. We waved them goodbye as I extended my kagune and started to move after putting Twilight down. I used them to push the stuff out of our way as we looked for a town. “So just to make sure I can change the chief or whatever they to a fight and beat him?” I looked at twilight beside me and she nodded.

“Yes, then you own everything he or she owns.”

I smiled and wrapped an arm around her waist. She smiled and put a little sway in her hips as we walked deeper into the dark forest. After a few hours, we found a tribe and from the looks of it was a poor tribe. I retraced my tails and as we walked into the town and I saw most were living in rundown houses. The people were in rags and were very thin and many looked sick. They had very dark skin and some had tan skin. We walked into the middle of the town and saw a well-built house three stories. As we walked Twilight grabbed me and I looked at her. She pointed to the right and I looked a looked in horror. Three people hung up by a theirs arms and had hundreds of cuts all over their bodies. I looked away from them and to a very disturbed Twilight and I saw some so of the people looking at me. I growled and looked at the large house and saw a man sitting on a throne on top of the house.

“Nick I want you to kill that animal.”

I smiled and walked up to the house and yelled for the leader. “I’m here to challenge you for this town!”

The man looked down at me and I saw he was young maybe a few years older than me. He had long brown hair and a lot of muscle in his arms but not his legs. He looked beside me at Twilight licked his lips like Blueblood did. I sighed and got the axe of the bag as he stood up and I lined the axe up. He jumped down and landed with a long sword and he was very well dressed and feed.

“I am the tenth son of the master lone hunter, master of the northern lands lord wild beast.”

“I’m your executioner Nick Storm.” He looked and the people looked on in shock.

“You will die and I’ll take your woman as my whore.”

That did it and I was now pissed threw the bag away and took my case from Twilight. Twilight then ran over to a somewhat still intact stone wall. I opened it and grabbed silver skull and locked eyes with him. “Your really going to with that you keep your mouth shut.” He rushed me and I side stepped the attack and cut his side with silver skull. But silver lite up when I cut like when I cut a ghoul. ‘Is he a ghoul?’ Blood purred down and his side and he turned and tried to kill me with a thrust. I blocked the attack and tried to cut his throat with the axe. The blade bounced off his neck and that was I needed to know. I spun and cut his left thigh open and then cut his head off. Then I saw it magic armor behind his. ‘Guess we wasn’t a ghoul but that armor is something I’ll consider looking into.

“You did it!”

I turned and was tackled onto the ground by Twilight. She started to kiss me all over the face and I hugged her tightly. After her excitement passed and I sat us both up and I saw the people. They all walked over to us. Me and Twilight stood up and looked at all of them. An old man walked out and was going down onto his knees. I stopped him by putting a hand on his shoulder and helped him back up. The old man looked at me shocked and I saw that he was blind in one eye. I looked around and saw about eighty people. There were only a few old people and kids in the crowd. I looked back to Twilight and pointed to the house. She looked at it and then back to me and nodded.

“All right line up in front of Nick’s house were going to try and find enough food for everyone.”

They all looked at her and then to me. I nodded and they all started to line up in front of the steps. I saw the people putting the sick and kids up front. I smiled and we walked into my new house and we all looked around. I found a fully stocked kitchen and medicine and medicinal herbs. “Perfect.” After that, I passed out food and fresh water to all the people. Twilight made and gave the sick people medicine and we both spoke to the people.

“My lord a word please.”

I looked at the same old man from earlier and he had thirty men and woman with him. They all looked at me and they seem much happier. “What can I do for you, Sir?” Again, shock showed on his face and the people with him smiled a little.

“Well my lord I have brought you the warriors of this tribe. But please call me whatever you want my lord.”

I looked at him and smiled at him and the warriors. I held a hand out to them and they all looked at it. “No more of that lord stuff. Please call me Nick or Storm and I would like to know the name your mother gave you all of you.” They all looked at me and they all started to cry and hug each other. For the rest of the month, Twilight and Ihad been helping rebuild their homes and planting crops. The people were always happy to see us helping and would talk to us about this land. By now we had fixed all most every house and we had also many trees for the timber. We also used some of the wood to make a lookout tower and an almost complete stone and wooden wall. I’ve also had showed them how to make bows and arrows and we started to hunt down prey.

Twilight pov

“Nick, this town is really coming along don’t you think?” I asked as he was helping finish the wall that was meant to protect our new home. Though I didn’t understand why it was three times the size we need.

“Ya, I glad we found this town just looked at what it has become. But I have bigger plans for this town and this continent Twilight”

I looked at him and some of the others did I as well. Rough dagger one of his stronger warriors walked over to him and started to talk.

“Nick, what are you planning to do then?”

Nick looked at him and started to explain his plan.

“Well, once I have this town good and staple I will conquer more towns. I’ll take mining towns first and then I’ll conquer farming town. I’ll insure our martials and food then I’ll start to build an army to take this continent.”

I was shocked at what I just heard and the conviction in his words. I smiled and walked over to him and the two he appointed as my guards followed me. Their names were sweet flower and sunburst. I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around him and they all looked at us and smiled. Then our look out started to yell for the warriors to get their weapons and ready their bows.

“Warriors to arms it’s a raid!”

I looked up at her and I heard Nick giving orders.

“Sweet, Sunburst get her to the house and all the civilians in with her and stay there!”

My guards rushed me and the kids and elderly to my and Nicks house. I looked at the window as I saw Nick and the warriors on the wall drawing their bows back and aimed at the tree line.

Nick pov

I had my axe and my now magic bolt charged silver skull on my side. I and the other’s ran into the platform we made onto our almost complete wall. “Drew!” we all took out an arrow and drew ready to fire. Nearly a hundred warriors were at the new tree line down a hill. They were in rusty armor and I saw they had ladders and swords. They didn’t have shields or spears. I saw a man in good armor behind them and riding up at us on a horse. He had tanned skin and red hair with a scar on his forehead. He slowed down when he was near the wall and started to speak.

“We have come for this town’s women. Hand them over and no harm will come to your warriors.”

I let my bow relax and looked at him with hate. “I’m the leader of this tribe and I say leave and your man will live charge and many of them will die. Now leave or I will take your head and send it back to you lord or chief.” He looked at me angrily and rode back to his lines and turned to look at me. He raised a hand and his man readied themselves for the coming battle.

“Attack and bring me the head of that golden head fool!”

He threw his hand down and they all ran at us and I quickly redrew my bow. They were slowly coming up the hill. “Take and fire at will!” I shot first and then other did as well. Twenty hit their marks and six missed or wounded them. We all quickly stringed another arrow and shot again as they almost made it to the top. This time all twenty-six we kill shoots and they reached the wall. “Keep them back six of you with me were going to protect the hole!”

Six of them followed me and the other broke up into two groups. Ten kept shooting and ten just stabbed the kill the ones that were climbing up the letters with their spears. I and my six were having trouble holding them back. I saw one of my men get stabbed in the leg and I lost it. I extended all my kagune tails and used them to stab eighteen of them, two for each tail. Every one of the attacks stopped seeing them. My town had seen them when I used them to save a few of them from a rare ghoul in this part of the continent. I learned that they mostly stayed in all the ten kings’ territories.

“Monster RETREAT!”

They all ran and the one on the horse rode up the hill and yelled for them to keep attacking. I looked up at my archers and pointed at the horse man. They all nodded and all of them loaded an arrow and aimed at him. “FIRE!” They all fired and eight shots hit him three in the gut three in the legs and two in the chest. The horse was hit in the head and he fell to the ground. I walked over to him as his man all ran away. I looked down at him and saw trying to crawl away. I wrapped three of my tails around each of my arms and made a huge fist. I looked at him and saw a bag behind him on his horse. I saw what I was sure to be a map sticking out the top. I smirked and looked at him. “I told you this would happen to you. But know that your death will lead to peace for this land.”

“My father will burn this town to the ground.”

I sighed and opened my huge fist and grabbed his head. In one swift moment, I ripped his head off and unwrapped my other arm. I took the bag and dumped all the stuff out and saw a few knifes, photos and the map. I dropped his head in his bag and retracted all my tails. I then picked up the photos and what I saw angered me. Woman being treated like slaves and breeding tools. I grit my teeth and ripped up all of them and took the other things. I walked back to a cheering town and looked at the wounded man. “Will you be ok?” He looked at me and gave me a raised fist. I smiled and nodded as he was taken to the small medical house we made. “Rough dagger front and center!”

“Behind you Nick.”

I turned and saw him and my other warriors all with smiles. I held the map out to him and he took it. “Strip the corpse of their useable armor and weapons. If they going to raid us were going to raid them. As for you Rough find the town ruled by someone names fire.” They all smiled and set off to follow my orders. I walked to mine and Twilight’s house and saw her guards standing at the door. They nodded at me and I walked in to find my people happily talking. I saw Twilight making some more medicine with the help of the elderly. I walked up behind her and hugged her from behind and she jumped and looked back at me.

“Nick please don't scare me like that!”

She punched me and the elders just laughed and the kids told me to just kiss her. I smiled and looked at Twilight and she looked at the kids and blushed. I kissed her cheek and let her go and the kids laughed. I grabbed her hand and started to pull her to the stairs to our rooms. “OK, everyone that it. Now for the rest of the day off but tell the warriors to finish their task and come find me when they are done.”

“Ok, Nick.”

They all walked out as we started to walk up the stairs. I walked her to her room and walked us in. I looked back at Twilight who was blushing and looking at the bed. I smiled and walked us over to the bed and sat her down and I seat beside her. She looked at me with a huge blush and I put a hand on her cheek.

“N-nick what are you doing?”

I sighed and looked into her eyes for a little longer. By all to soon, I heard Rough yell we were ready for the raid from the front door. Twilight lost her blush and I saw the horror in her eyes. She grabbed my arm as I got off the bed.

“NO! NO! you’re not going!”

She was crying and desperately trying to get me to sit back down.

“Please send your men to fight for you. Stay here where we're all safe from every enemy.”

I sighed then pulled her onto her feet and I wrapped my arms around her. She started to beat my shoulder and I looked to her eyes so full of fear. I bent down and softly kissed her lips and she hugged me tightly. I pulled back and saw her looking at me and she let go and softly touched my cheek.

“Come back to me do you hear me, Nick?”

I smiled and pushed our heads together and then let go. She grabbed my hand as I turn and I stopped when saw the look.

“Did you hear me?”

I smiled at her and answered her. “On my name and all the Storms that came before me.” She pulled me into one more hug and I left after that. Rough told me that we’d had to march north to one of the larger territories. From the marks on the map, I could tell this fire had conquered none territories. ‘I’ll have a nice big territory after this.’ Be for we left we sealed the hole with heavy logs. Once complete the few man that stayed move to the watch tower to protect the town. We marched for five hours and saw the destruction left from the attacks lead by the group we beat. When we found, they stopped and told them what we were doing. How we forced them to retreat and that I was going to defeat their lord. Those who could fight took up arms and marched with us. Now I was leading two hundred men all of them promised their tribes to me. I smiled at my small army as we entered all arrived that his territory. I saw that he had a large fortress. I saw there may be a mile-wide wall surrounding it and I saw that every man is wearing armor and a sword. I saw their gate was well guarded but the wall itself was unguarded. 'Guess no one has ever attacked them before.'

“Nick, what are we going to do?”

I looked at Rough and saw his look of worry. I looked at the gate again and I tried to think.

‘I can help you Nick Storm.’

I heard death voice in my head and but I didn’t speak out loud. ‘How? Are you going to give me another kagune?”

‘Yes, for now your body can only control two of them. So, which do you want?’

‘Koukaku’

‘Nice choice.’

After he said that pain erupted from my shoulders and two blades like Koukaku shot out. They wrapped around my arms three feet blades. With this armor around my arms their un touchable. I extended my tails and looked back at my army and they all looked shocked but still ready to fight. “You all follow me and I’ll challenge their leader to a winner take all fight.” They all nodded and I wrapped my tails around my legs and gave a powerful jump into the air. I learned that I could use my tails as springs and shoot myself in high into the air. Once I landed I retackled both my kagune and looked at the shocked guards. “Go tell you Lord Nick storm tells him to a winner take all battle.” They spoke to each other and one ran into the city and I waited. ‘Still, can believe that all I have to do is issue a challenge and they can’t fight me.’ After a few minutes, a man on a horse came out with a girl with a collar and chained up walking behind him. She was in a bikini and had bruises all over her and a life less look in her eye. She was thin and had pitch black hair and dark chocolate skin. Even as skinny as she was she had a bountiful chest and rear.

“Who dares to challenge me?!”

“Right here you prick.”

I looked at me and laughed at me.

“You ha-ha of I guess my three-son killed your leader in my expansion right. Look I’ll give you a whore and you can rebuild your town.”

This time it was my turned to laugh and he looked at me. I looked him in the eyes and he looked at me curiously. “Did your son have red hair and a scar on his forehead?” The woman looked at me with a spark of hope and the master looked at somewhat mad.

“Yes, he does why do you ask.”

I laughed again and I slung my bag off my back and looked at him. “Then I just killed another one of your boys.” I throw the bag at him and he caught it and opened it. His eyes widened and he looked at me with hate. He dropped the chain and drew his sword and charged me with intent to kill me. His man moved and I smirked at him being lost in his rage. I drew silver skull and when the horse was close I ducked under the sword he swung at me. When the blade was over my head I cut off the two front legs and it fell to the ground. The man jumped to his feet and ran at me. I side stepped his attacks and thrust for a few minutes and looked at him when he stopped. He was breathing hard and I smiled at him. “Are you warmed up now?” He roared in rage and I lunged at him faster than he could react. I cut both his arms off and looked at the woman. She was beating the son’s head and was crying as she did it and I looked back at the writhing man. I looked at him with anger and I cut his head off and I looked at my new men. “Bring me everyone who supported his enslavement of women NOW!” They did as I said and ran into the city. I picked up the head and walked over to the woman and took my axe off my side. “Here.” She looked at me and took the axe and cut his head in two and I let her do the same to the other one.

“Thank you.”

She looked up at me with life now back into her eyes and I smiled. “No problem now let’s get those chains off you.” She smiled and I cut her free and I gave her the shirt I was wearing and my men all walked over to me. They all saw the scars covering my body and I swear I saw the girl blush. After about an hour fifty men were brought to me and the soldiers said they were the nobles of the city. I let the men who join me kill them and we walked into the city freeing everyone. I killed everyone I found beating or anyone who was raping a woman. When all was said, and done we killed a tenth of the city.

“My lord Nick please come to the mansion.”

I looked back and saw a man in a butler uniform and he had a sword at his side. I looked at him and I smiled. “Well I will later but we have to go and get our families.” He bowed to me and stood at attention.

“Would you like me to show you and your man to the stables lord?”

“Please stop calling me lord I don’t like it.”

I looked at me with an even look and then spoke.

“I can do that what should I call you Sir?”

“Still the Sir uh… well fine sir Storm then and so you know a Ms. Storm will be coming back with me.”

“Very good Sir Storm now please follow me.”

Me and a hundred of my men followed my new butler to a stable. We got all the horses and the wagons and carts to pull the people and material and supplies we had. With the horses, we made it back to the town. It took about three hours on horseback. Soon we made it to the town and every man rushed up ready to fight. When they saw, it was me they cheered at my victory. We took down the logs and a very happy Twilight tackling me to the ground.

“Your back Nick!”

I smiled and hugged her tightly and used my tails to push us up. When we were up and I saw that my town was looking at me and her. I let her go and ordered for everyone to gather in front of my old house. Everyone looked at me and then started to walk to my house. I told Twilight what happened the city I now own and that she was a mistress to a lord. She blushed at that and kissed me on the cheek and we left to tell the town. I now stood on top of the house and I started to talk to my people. “Ok, I’ve taken a city so were going to move there. I know this will be hard for some of you but I did this to make a better life for you all. Now please gather your thinks and we leave. We have carts and wagons to move both you and your things even so please only take important things this time. I will send so men back to get the rest later you have my word.” They did as I asked and after half an hour we started to move. Twilight rode on my horse with me and some of the men gave their horses to the older people or used them to bring back the wound men that were left after the battle. My people had treated their wounds and they too promised their lives to me. We arrived new city and found houses for all my people.

“Wow Nick look at these walls and the city is as big as Canterlot. Can this be our capital when you take this country?”

I smiled and told her we could do that and build a castle somewhere nearby after I see what all we have now. I rode up to the mansion and saw it was made of stone. A wall surrounded it with two main buildings. It had a road leading around back and I plum trees following the road. As we rode in there were to front ends on both sides and one was a circle and the other was a square. I saw that the door my butler and about twenty maids on the left and twenty butlers on the right.

“Sir. Storm and Ms. Storm, it is an honor to welcome you home.”

For the next week, I and Twilight worked on freeing and returning the kidnapped women. The family thanked us to no end and we got a head count. In the city, we had over five thousand people. I also looked at the treasury and found we had two-hundred thousand bits. I learned that the other sons of lone hunter were planning to attack the city. I learned this from scouts I sent out to watch their movements. They were gathering their forces and their numbers. I also learned that I controlled one of the surrounding this city. I then saw they each control one territory. So as of now, I have eleven territories and once I kill the son’s I will have twenty. I looked at my armory and my army to see what I would have once they attacked. I had six iron mines and ten blacksmiths and I offer my men payment to mine iron and the blacksmiths to make new armor and weapons. Near the iron mine was a gold mine and I offered jobs men and women a job to mine the gold. I promised thirty bits a day for those who mine the mines. I and Twilight looked at the walls and I got an idea. We had catapults built onto the back of the walls. We also started to try and make firearms a single shot break action shotgun. We had a lot of trouble with this and the shells.

Present day

Now I was sitting that my desk in my office and was reading over a report of on the catapults and shotguns. Twilight had taken to reading to the children at came to the library and she loved to see their smiles. A maid brought me a cup of warm tea and a piece of cake and I thanked her. “The catapults were finished and they finished a shot gun but were still having trouble with the shells.” I sighed and leaned back into my chair and looked out the window in the office. “The more I win the more I have to do. Plus, this street with a week of late nights and listening to the messengers from the sons.” A spy I sent into their camp told me the army of ten thousand broke apart when they started a fight over who’s get to take my place. Now I had eight armies to worry about. Their numbers would be much more manageable.

“Nick!”

My office door was slammed into the walls and a frantic Twilight rushed in. She was in a blue bottom bell dress with a light blue top and dark blue shoulder straps. All over the bell bottom were stars white, blue and light blue. ‘She sure likes having a team of dress makers, doesn’t she?’ I liked to wear my new black armor. That covered my chest shoulder and the sides of my legs.

“An airship has landed in our southern lands and Royal guards were saw getting off it. I think the Princesses are here Nick.”

That got my attention rather quickly and we were on my horse and let the city with three hundred heavy horse men as guards. We rode through many of my smaller towns and we warned them a fight maybe coming soon. Your all thanked me and started to gather their weapons to defend their town. After a few three more hours, we found the guards marching on the main road we use to send supplies to the small towns. I held my hand up and my man stopped ready to draw their weapons. I saw one of the guards that were at the meeting and he looked shocked to see me. He composed himself and looked at me like he had all the power here.

“By the order of the princess of Equestria you Nick storm and Twilight sparkle with come with to the new guard outpost on the unclaimed land of the southern province.”

Twilight and I looked and him then started to laugh at him and all my men did to. When we stopped, I looked at him and drew my sword and all my men did as well. I looked at the now scared guards and started to speck. “This is my land sorry guard. All the lands from the southern cliffs to my main city is mine and you have no right to it.”

“What?!”

I smiled and started to ride around him. “However, I do not see the harm in going to talk to your leader.” He yipped and yelled for the first hour but shut up and I cut off one of his shoulders armor. Plus, Twilight shocked them all and she told them that she would love to the practice of her combat magic. They all shut up and marched back as we rode in front of them. Soon we came into a clearing we made months ago when we need a large amount of timber. We rode in and we dismounted and fifty of my man followed us. The guard lead us to a large tent with ten guards out front. I walked to them and they tried to stop me but the spears of my man stopped them and we walked in.

Twilight pov

We walked into the tent and I saw my former teacher, friends and spike. “Girls, Spike!” Everyone looked at me and smiled. They all ran over and we started to hug each other and they were asking me to come home. Then a weight fell on all over us and we looked at nick and Celestia face to face. Over the two and a half months we’ve been here Nick has grown and was now face to face with her. She had her hands covered in magic and he had his hands on his sword and axe. I walked over to him and grabbed one of his hands and looked at him. “Please don’t fight she on your land. If she does anything it we can just make them leave.” He looked at me and took a few deep breaths and calmed himself.

“You’re usually right about these things some I’ll listen for now.”

He looked back at my old teacher and started to talk.

“Ok, but you can stay out here tonight. There are armies moving and I’m going to pull in the smaller towns behind my walls if i have too. You and yours can come with us to my city. I will find places for you, your guards and the others to sleep. What do you say, Celestia?”

She looked at him and then to my friends and spike. I looked back at him and sighed and agreed to come with us but she must speak to me alone at some point. After a little talking to Nick agreed with the condition that my personal guards were near when we talk. When that was done, they started to pack up their camp. Nick and I had brought extra horses in case we needed them. My friends and Celestia all got one and spike rode with Celestia. I had my men surround them as we rode back and her men marched behind us.

“How far to this city darling?”

I looked to the right of us and saw Rarity and my other friends. “About three hours so for now just in joy the ride rares.” When we were half way to the city we started to see the towns, we passed ready to fight. Nick and I would stop and tell them if it looked like they couldn’t win come to the city. They agreed and we started to see the city light as the Celestia lowered the sun. I felt Nick leaned into my back and started to talk into my ear.

“I won’t be far from you when you talk to her if she tries anything yell.”

I smiled and leaned back into him as we all entered the city. ‘I love how protect he can be and when he comes to read to the children at the library he had built for the city. He may put up a tough guy act but when he lets those walls down he’s like a mix between Pinkie and Fluttershy.’

“What you are thinking about Twilight!?”

Both me and Nick jumped from Pinkie suddenly appearing beside us as we stopped at our front door. “Pinkie Please don’t do that and don’t worry I was just thinking about how Nick can be like you and Fluttershy at times. I know he likes to act like a tough guy but he can be nice and sweet. I remember one time about a week after we took control over the city. We started to build new homes in the slums and building my library plus the three schools.” I looked back to see Nick blushing and looked away from all of us.

“You are just putting a front up red. Now give us my sister so we can burn this city to the ground.”

I looked back to see my brother at our homes gate and he looked mad. I heard Nick growl and I felt him reach for his sword. I grabbed his hand as he grabbed the handle and I looked at my now disliked brother. “I’m going nowhere Shining Armor. Now get back to your men before I let Nick kill you this time.” He stopped and looked at me shocked. Then looked at my hand holding the one Nick had on his sword. Then he drew his sword and started to walk for me again. I sighed and yelled for my guards. Fifty guards rushed out of the house and then ten mounted soldiers rushed in from the street. I pointed to my now shocked brother and they surrounded them. “Confiscate his weapons and lock him up for the night. I can’t trust him in the city with that bad attitude.” I watched as they dragged my brother away and Nick jumped off the horse and took the sword that was taken from him. He strikes it on silver skull a few times and I saw red lines dance across the blade. He smiled and looked at Celestia and walked over to her.

“I’ll be you made one. I’m impressed how many have you killed?”

Celestia jumped off her horse and her dress brushed his face. When the dress dropped, I saw that he was blushing and looked uncomfortable. ‘Oh, she better have not done that on purpose.’

Nick pov

I had just seen Celestia’s silk panties and she looked at me. I saw her smirk and I felt a little angry. ‘Oh, is that the game you want to play!? Fine, I’ll play your game and I will beat you. Twilight I hope you’re ready to mess this bitch.’

“We’ve made over one-hundred and my elite are armed with them. But I can see we’re not the only one who’s been busy.”

After that we walked in and to my surprise Twilight changed her mind. She won’t talk to her without me now and she held my arm all the way to my office. My office was made to fit twenty people comfortably. Twilight sat in my lap as she and Celestia stared at each other. The other girls and I saw the sparks and I started to worry for the safety of my city. “So, Celestia girls why did you try and make an outpost in my land?” She looked at me and smiled but I could see a calculating look behind it.

“Well, thanks to the quince we are started forcing the reds out. So, I decided to start expansion again and I was going to civilize the savages of this land. But now knowing how you have already done some of the work I can start a colony her.”

I and Twilight looked at each other and then started to laugh loudly. When we calmed down Twilight let me up and I walked over to Celestia. I grabbed her chin and I looked her deep in her eyes. “You won’t touch MY country, sorry princess. I’m going to take this continent and if I find one settlement from your country here.” I move my mouth closer to her ear and spoke. “I’ll kill them all and send you their heads.” I stood back up and looked at her shocked face and to add insult to injury I looked at Twilight. “Twilight sweet what do we do to people who don’t ask to make a colonel her?” She smiled and spoke sweetly.

“Kill them all or they become one of our subjects.”

Everyone looked at us and Celestia looked at me. I saw something go through her eyes and I didn’t know what it was. But all too soon her calculating look returned and I could see that she wanted my land.

“Ok then why don’t twilight and the girls leave and you and I can negotiate.”

I nodded and spoke up. “No way you have nothing I want and in time I can get the magic powered tools and appliances they have. I also have all the same materials here you do in Equestria. Silver, gold, salt, iron, coal, painite and many types of Diamonds and gems. I also know how to turn iron into steel and then three different types of steel. So again, you have nothing I need or want.” I smiled at her and she looked mad and stood up and walked over to Twilight.

“Twilight Sparkle as your princess I order you to return to Equestria.”

I watched as Twilight laughed and looked at Celestia. Twilight stood up and walked over to me and held my arm.

“You forgot what it means if someone leaves a country and becomes a noble of another land?”

Celestia looked at her and Twilight sighed.

“I renounce my citizenship and abandoned the country. You have no authority over me or this land. Now please just stay the night and I will have the full cavalry take you all back to your airship tomorrow morning.”

She grits her teeth and walked out of the room. I was surprised and looked her in the eye. “You really did get some confidantes, didn’t you?” She smiled and kissed my cheek.

"Come on let's go and let’s get this night over with."

I smiled and we walked out to meet all her friends in the hallway. Dinner that night was soups and salids.
