The fights before the gala

Nick pov death realm

“Just how much longer do you intend to keep me asleep Death?” I asked as I looked up at sitting in his throne.

“Just another ten minutes though I must say I like the company. For my job to be done I must just exist. I can’t really leave this place for more than a few moments at a time.”

“Um, so your keeping me here because your lonely? Dude we can talk in my mind whenever you want you know.” He looked down at me as he waved a hand in the air. Making a light gust of air move around us.

“You know when you do wake up your chest is going to feel like you’ve been stabbed with a hundred hot knives. Plus, the fact that your future wife was been like a guard dog over your body.”

I raised an eyebrow as I looked at him. “What are you talking about?” I saw a smile on his cracked jaw.

“As your body lay the lady of had come to stay. To you she has laid claim.”

“I don’t rymth so tell me straight. I do not like to wait.” We laughed at are back and forth then he spoke again.

“Basically Luna tried to take your knocked out body. Twilight stopped her then she claimed some old royal law that no longer works.”

I shrugged then laid back down on the ground. “I’ll deal with it when I get out of here. I mean how hard could dealing with Luna be? She’s just one woman I can handle her.” Death laughed as I started to faded.

“Your going to eat those words Nick. When she wants something or someone she’ll find it or them.”

I blinked as I faded away.

Nick pov living world

I opened my eyes and saw a white roofed room. “Great I’m in a hospital.” I sat up and saw I was hooked up to a heart monitor. I smiled as I stood up. ‘This is a golden opportunity to screw with everyone. I pulled the pads on my chest off then the monitor went flat. ‘I’ve got maybe twenty seconds.’ I looked down and I saw I was still in my pants with bear feet. I started to heard rushing feet as I looked at the door. I smiled then extended my tails. I quickly looked around and saw a open window. I smirked then jumped out then stabbed my tails into the outside wall. I moved so I would be just outside the view of the window. ‘Let’s see who’s going to panic first.’ I heard the door slam into the wall as I looked around. I saw on the top of the hospital then heard the panic in the room.

“Where did he go! The wound on his could opened back up!”

I looked own at my chest and now noticed my chest as badached up. ‘Ok, I let him go to good of a hit. I crossed my arms then relaxed my body. I started to fall back but my tails stopped me. I was upside down. I would be in the window but though my jock went far enough. I slowly turned and looked into the room. I saw the girls, Twilight, Shining Armor, Cadence, Luna and two new people in the doorway along with the doctors. I waved at them with a smile on my face. “Hello, anyone want to tell me how I’m still alive?” Twilight walked over to me as I looked at her.

“How are you doing that?”

I smiled wider then waved a tail in her face. “I just stabbed these into the walls so I could hang here. Fresh air is very nice when your in the hospital. Though my chest feels like my chest has been ripped open then sewed back together.” I rubbed my chest as Twilight did her best to hug me like I was. Though it was strange hugging like this. I wrapped her in my tails then turned her upside down too. She wrapped her arms around my neck as she looked down.

“Thank goodness I’m wearing pants. But… If you drop me your sleeping in your office for the rest of your life!” I laughed as she tightened her grip. “Ok, beside I think I can feel my organs moving into my chest.” I grabbed the window seal with my hands then freed my tails. I flipped the two of us back into the room. I landed on my feet then set Twilight back her feet.

“Well, Twilight told us the truth about you being every different from other boys.”

I looked over to the new people in the room. A man with dark blue hair dressed in a dark blue shirt and grey pants. He wear a black jacket over that an looked at me like I was a worm. Beside him was a woman with purple and white hair. She was in a blouse with a black pair of pants. She looked at my chest with a slight blush on her face.

“So, your Nick uh? I don’t see what my daughter sees in you.” The woman beside him stomped her foot on his toes. He hissed in pain then smiled at me. “Sorry I should get to know you first before I judge you.”

“Got that right dad.”

Shining Armor walked up behind them. The man turned then looked at him.

“What do you mean Shining?”

Shining looked at him then started to tell him about my city. About how I was a dove and what a dove was from what I told him.

“So that’s why you have so many scars you’ve fought reds most of your life.”

Me and everyone who knew my past was quiet as their parents and Luna looked at me. I rubbed the back of my head and Twilight shifted on her feet.

“What? Was it something I said.”

I sighed then looked at them. “You best find a set this is going to be a long story.” They looked at me strangely but did as I told them to. Luna sat on the end of the bed as I started to tell them the story I told Shining Armor and Twilight. The mother and father looked horrified as I spoke Luna on the other hand looked ready to murder someone. When I finished The mother was crying and the father looked ready to kill someone.

“What kind of father could do that to his own wife and son. It’s a good think the bastard got what he was do.”

I laughed as I looked at him. “You know the old saying you reap what you sow. He lived his full of hate and misery so he meet a fate he was doomed to.”

“If we know what state your family had fallen to we would have kept your family i the nobility. My sister could have kept you safe.”

I laughed then walked over to a bag in the corner with Silver Skull behind it. I opened the bag and pulled out a shirt. “Well, I guess I’m going to get the third degree being Twilight boyfriend and all.”

“Got that! I understand that you're providing a very comfortable life for her but not a safe one. I know the savage is a very dangerous content. I know fighting is a constant as the day is long. I want to know if you can keep her safe if your walls fall.”

I turned my head and looked at him. “So, is it a fight your after?” I turned around and looked at him square in the face. “If you want one I’ll give it to you but right now I can’t give you the best I’ve got.”

“Wait you told me about the organ damage you’ve taken.”

I looked at Shining along with everyone else. Twilight walked up to me with a worried look in her eyes. I growled then looked at him. “I only told you about that you idiot.” He covered his mouth as Twilight and everyone else looked at me. I rubbed my eyes as I ignored it for now. “Twilight you and I will talk later.”

“No what is he talking about?”

I sighed then rubbed my hand over my face. “I lost ten years.” I said it loud enough for her to hear me.

“TEN YEARS!?”

She screamed as I got my shirt on. “Yes, I lost a decade after the dove genaside. I have really messed up after the fight. I didn’t tell you because I knew you’d feack out.” I felt a sudden heat on my back as I finished talking. I turned my head and my eyes shrance. Twilight hair had started to burn as lightning cracked around her hands. “Crap!” I jumped to the side as she fired her first blast. I saw the window still open then jumped out it.

“Get back here and tell me everything!”

I used two tails to brase my legs as I landed. I jumped into the air before anyone could try and stop. While in the air my chest started at burn. I grabbed my chest with my face scrunched up in pain. I slam my tail into a building across from the hospital. ‘Damn this hurts.’

“Are thee ok?”

I opened my eyes as I turned my head and saw Luna. I was breathing a little hard as little harder. “I think so but my chest is burning when I take a breath. But I ready don’t feel like dying today.” Luna laughed into her hand as she flapped her wings. This is the first time I really stopped to look at her. As I looked at her I saw that it looked as if the night sky and moon were behind her. She wore a long blue dress with a moon on both her waist line and between her breast. Her hair looked as if it was the night sky itself was on her body. I noticed she had a horn on her head.

“Is something wrong?”

I pointed to her horn. “Why do you have a horn on your head? When Twilight uses her magic she doesn't get a horn on her head.” She smiled started to explain.

“Since mine and our sister magic is so strong our wings and horns materialize together. Twilight does have very high levels of magic for a normal human but not near our level. She’s need another ten years before she could hope to making a horn.”

I raised an eyebrow as I looked at her. “Is making a horn a rare thing?” She nodded then pointed down to the ground. I nodded then jumped down with her following me. I landed then she landed beside me. The horn and wings vanished and I retracted my tails.

“How does that work?”

I looked at her and she was looking were my tails came out from. I nodded my head then looked at the hospital doors as I saw a bright glare started to charge the door. “Just get ready to run when Twilight gets through that door.” At my word Twilight smashed through the door and ran charged me. I braced myself then right before she was going to smash into me I extend my tails then stabbed them into the ground behind me. She slammed into me and I wrapped my arms around her as we were forced back with my tails destroying the road under us. I felt my ribs crack a like more when she hit my chest. We stopped after she forced us to move back five feet. I cough out some blood as she leaned her head back to yell some more. My blood landed on her cheek and bridge of her nose.

“NICK!”

I felt some blood running out of my mouth and down my chin. I closed my right eye as I looked down at her. “Don’t worry you only cracked a few of my ribs. I’ll be fine after a week or two my little bookworm.” The fire of her fire went out as she looked up at me. Her lip trembled as she looked up at me. I moved one arm from her back then grabbed my shirt. “Hold still Twilight.” I used my shirt to clean the blood off her face. When it was clean everyone else ran out of the hospital.

“Nick your bleeding!”

I let my shirt go then whipped the blood from my mouth. “Don’t worry I’m good Cadence. But Twilight has made a good point I should tell her more about my past. When my chest doesn't feel like it’s going to split open.” I pulled my tails from the ground then feel back down on my back.

“NICK!”

“Ok, maybe I do need a hand.”

“My sister fell in love with an idiot. Uh, come on let’s get you two to home then we’ll talk.”

He fled a hand out to me and grabbed it. He pulled me up then I stubbled a little. I steady myself as I was about to fall again. “I’m good.” Shining nodded then the mother and father started to walk down the street.

“Come on we don’t want him to kill over in the street like a dog.”

I laughed as I started to follow them with Twilight helping me walk. As we walked I noticed Luna watching me walking with Twilight’s arms around me. I saw her bite her lip and glared at Twilight. ‘Ok, I guess death was right about biting off more than I could chew.’ Then a cod chill ran down my spine. I stopped dead and looked around the city.

“What’s wrong?”

Twilight asked as I was looking around. “A ghoul is nearby a strong one too. My instincts are practically screaming at me.” She started to look around and I whispered to her. “Stop looking around and keep walking if it wants a fight it would have come out by now.”

“Are you two ok?”

I faced forward and smiled. “Ya, just a few more pains in my chest don’t worry.”

“Do you want me to heal you again.”

Twilight pulled me closer to her as she looked at Luna. I played the fool as I looked at her. “Again?”

“You don’t remember?”

I nodded my head as I looked at her. “I don’t remember much after getting sent through the train’s wall. I remember jumped out then I blacked out. I can remember a few things but their hasty at best. The last thing I can remember was a cutting someone’s arm off.” She frowned as she looked at me.

“We can talk about that once we get to the house. I really don’t think you should stay on your feet for to long.”

I nodded then started to walk again but the chill in my spine stayed with me. After ten minutes we walked up to a large house. We all walked in and into a living room and Twilight helped me sit down. I thanked her and she sat down beside me as everyone sat down around us. I rubbed my chest since my right side was still throbbing. Twilight stopped me from rubbing the ribs as Luna sat close to me.

“It’s still hurting isn’t it?”

“Ya, it’s still hurting but I can live with it if I have too.”

“I could use a spell to numb the pain if you’d like.”

“You know what that sound nice Luna thanks.” She smiled then a blue glow covered her right hand. She was about to touch my side but Twilight yanked me back. When she did the pain in my side shot across my chest. I hissed as I grabbed my side with both hands. When the throbbing stopped I looked back at Twilight. “What’s your problem Twilight?! Both times she’s got near you go into attack mode.” She huffed as I looked at her.

“You really don’t remember what she did. Well fine then let her heal you jerk.”

I raised an eyebrow as she crossed her arms. I blinked as I looked at her as she looked at Luna. I saw Luna smile as she looked at me with glowing hands.

“This may hurt a little at first Nick.”

She pressed her hands on my chest throb worst for a few seconds. As she held her hands on my chest the pain started to lessen. Breathing became easier as well. “At least I’m breathing better now thanks Luna.” She smiled then sat back down beside me.

“I could have helped if I knew that spell.”

I heard Twilight mutter under her breath. I stood up and stretched my body a few different ways. Loud cracks were heard from my body as I moved. “That’s so much better.” I stood all the way up and saw a few photos around the room. One caught my eye right away and I walked over to it. It was of a young looking Shining Armor and Twilight. Shining had long hair and was in a long sleeve and shorts. Twilight was dressed in a long sleeved shirt and sleep pants with a book in hand. Twilight was sitting him his lap as they looked at each other. “Aw, you were so cute as a little girl Twilight.”

“What did you look like as a child?”

I looked over my shoulder and saw the mother looking at me. I looked over to Luna as she looked at me. “Do you know a spell that can show what I’m thinking?” She nodded and started to cast a spell. I thought of a image I had seen on google a few times. It was of a boy with long black hair with red eyes. As I thought of it the image of the boy appeared in the air.

“Your adoorable!”

“You don’t have your scar.”

“You don’t look anything I thought you’d look like.”

“You looked just like Star but with black hair.”

I looked at Luna when I heard the name.

‘Showtime Nick.’

“Who is Star Luna?” She smiled then created another image.

“He lost an eye in a nasty fight with a dragon clan member. He also took that sword after he killed him. Later on he had it melted down and then had it reforged into night fury. Then I enhanced with powerful magic spells. He used that hand and shoulder were used as his main defence being made of steel with magical spells on them. The shoulder guard gave him the ability to make a magic circle shield. With his gloved gauntlet he could us powerful shields and attack magic.”

“Ok I may just fix my hair like that and maybe find a sword just like that.”

“How’d you like the original then?”

I looked at her and blinked. “What do you mean Luna?” She smiled then used her magic to open a magic portal. She pulled out a very large black box with white symbols covering it. She ran her finger over the box in the middle in the box with her eyes closed. She left a line of magic as she ran her finger over the box.

“Magic binds release.”

Bright blue light filled the room as the ox started to open. Everyone covered our eyes as the light blinded us. When the light faded we all looked at her again. In her hands was a normal looking sword kind of like the romans used. “Is that night fury?”

“Yes, it normally doesn't like like this those. You see the sword will chance to fit the wilder. It was part of the spells I placed on it. When Star wiled it the blade transformed into a large broadsword with magic runes engraved into the sword. When you take hold of it it will take a new shape one that defines you. It will cut anything you wish it to cut. One that will serve you better than any blade before it.”

I looked at her as I thought about how this could backfire now. “Why would you just give me something this powerful? I’m not loyal to you or your sister. In fact I could just turn on you the second you hand me that sword.” She smiled then feld it out to me.

“I know you won’t because I know that look in your eyes. You don’t seek power to royal over someone or to destroy your enemies. You seek power to protect what you hold close to your heart just like Star.”

I looked at her then to the sword. “Well, if you’ve giving it to me I guess it’s ok.” I walked over to her then grabbed the handle with my right hand. When she let go of it black light filled the room. I felt a burning in my arm then grabbed my forearm to try and stop the burning. I felt something wrap around my arm and shoulder. When the black light faded I saw the blade had turned full black. The guard now had two wolf heads leading to it’s black blade.

“Dude your arm!”

I looked own at my right arm. I had on a set of arm armor a goth would die to have. “Wow I guess this is my arm gear. I have to say I love the look. Hey someone attack me I want to see how it holds up against an attack.”

“Ok eat a Thunderbolt!”

I turned as Twilight charged a thunderbolt. She fired her thunderbolt spell at me with a mad look in her eyes. I curled my right arm in front of me and I black magic circle formed in front of me.

The thunderbolt was blocked by the circle. I saw the eyes on the shoulder skull glowed black as the circle vanished. ‘Uh, I think I’ll call that Solid Shield.’

Twilight pov

I watched as my thunderbolt was completely blocked by the magic circle. I felt my old habit of wanting to know something as I looked at the armor and sword. “Nick.” He looked at me as he looked over the sword.

“Yes Twilight.”

I smiled sweetly as I looked at him. “Can I see that sword for a second?” He looked up at me with a suspicious look in his eyes.

“You want to examine it don’t you?”

I blushed as he hit the nail on the head. He laughed as we walked back over to me swinging the blade back and forth. He sat down beside me then handed me the sword. It was heavier then it looked when he was holding it. I sat it down on my lap then started to check it over with my magic. My eyes widened as I started to find spells far stronger then any I’ve seen.‘Luna wasn’t kidding when she said some powerful magic was put into this sword. There are at least a dozen power enhancement spells along with a few elemental blocking spells with a few passive spells that would heal the wielder faster than they normally would.’

“I see that you have found the spell Twilight Sparkle. I cared VERY deeply for star and in that blade I imbued many spells on to that blade. Star asked me to give the sword to Nick so I strengthen the spells in the blade. I will not let another storm die if I can help it. Oh, that reminds me Nick at the Gala tomorrow tonight would please have a dance with me?”

I glared at Nick then grabbed the handle of the sword.

“Sorry but I really don’t want to die tonight in my sleep.”

I smiled as I heard the girls laughing at him. Rainbow was making a whipping sound while whipping her fist. Nick growled then smiled as he clinched his right fist. His right fist started to shake as a small red magic circle formed under his fist. I didn’t recognize the circle back i could feel it was weak.

He quickly swung his fist her way then sent a shadowy hand her way. A shadow line kept his hand attached to the shadow hand. He used it to grab Rainbow’s hand that was making the whipping motion. He quickly pulled his arm up making her fall out of the chair she was sitting in. I looked at the shadow as he moved his arm around then saw his own shadow had also stretched over to Rainbow.

“I think I’ll call this Shadow grip.”

He let go of Rainbow and I saw my Dad looking at Nick. He stood up then walked over to Nick with a stern look on his face.

“Nick I got a question for you and I want a honest answer.”

Nick pov

I looked up at Twilight’s father with a nervous smile. “Sir?” He grabbed my left shoulder then gave me a slight pull.

“Come with me I want to talk to you alone for a few minutes.”

I stood up then followed him into the next room over. He used his magic the put up some kind of magic shield over the room the turned to me.

“Have you slept with my daughter?”

My breath was caught in my throat as I looked at him. Then I looked down to the ground as I was having trouble looking at him. “Yes I have mister Sparkle. I know I should have gotten to know the family first but everything happened so fast when we left the country. But I want to making a honest woman out of her. I want to marry her and build a better life for her. That’s one reason I’m taking land in the savage continent. If I can take a few of the kings down then I can make her a queen. She’ll never have to want for anything. I could give her everything she could ever want. I can buy us a house here some she can come back whenever she wants too.” I waited for him to try and hit me but it never came.

“Uh, well I guess I can skip the whole your going to make a honest woman out of my little girl. But I want to get to know you better so how about a sparring match in you think your body can take it.”

I looked at him then smirked. “If you think you can win I’m up for it.” He smirked then punched me in the arm.

“Gloves are off now go get whichever sword you want to use.”
I walked back into the living room as he walked into a room down the hall. I saw my new sword in Twilight’s lap. “Twilight I’m going to need that because you dad wants a fight with me.”

“WHAT?!”

Both Twilight and her mother screamed at the top of their lungs. I grabbed Night fury out of the air when Twilight jumped up into the air. I spun the blade in y hands a few times then nodded this is a good chance to test this blade. I learned the blade on my shoulder as I walked to the front door. “Tell your dad I’m outside.” I walked out and onto the sidewalk right outside the house. As I waited I noticed someone watching us from the side of a building. I raised my right hands as I acted like I wasn’t looking at him. I put my thumb on under of my trigger finger then focused on the spot between my thumb and trigger finger. ‘Um, I guess I’ll call this one Magic bullet.’ I flicked my thumb and then shot a small ball of magic. The bullet cleanly then through the the persons chest. I heard a few coughs then they started running.

‘A ghoul it would seem.’

‘I think so too.’ I waited a few more minutes then heard the door behind me open. I turned my head and look at the door. Everyone walked out of the house with the farther behind them. He was in a set of older set of royal guard armor. The were a few spots where the armor was clearly repaired.

“You ready?”

I smiled then swung Night fury in the air. “Ready and waiting. So, where are we going to have this fight?”

“In the barracks training field. It's the only place in the city that has a magic battle dome.”

I nodded then all of us started to walked to the castle.

“Oh wait a second Nick your sheath.”

She held up a sheath that looked like the blade. I smiled then took it and hooked it to my side. “Thanks Princess Luna.” She smiled then nodded her head.

“Just Luna will be fine Nick. Oh, and once this fight is over we need to talk about what happened with the train.”

“Is that her?”

“Ya, that’s the girl related to Starswirl the bearded.”

I stopped as I head many male voices near us talking about Twilight. I looked around and saw man of all ages looking at her.

“Nick I don’t like the way their looking at me.”

“Stay close anyone tries anything their dead.” She walked closer to me then wrapped her left arm around my right. I saw the man looking at her looked at me with annoyed faces. I glared at them as we walked. Then I noticed all of them following us as we walked. “Hey old timer I think we have a problem. Would it hurt if I thin the herd a little?” The father turned his head to look at me.

“Call me Nightlight and not yet. If one of them makes a move to touch her then you, me and Shining can tear into them.”

I smiled as I looked to the side and saw the crowd following us. “I have a idea then how about I fight you both then. If they know they can’t win a fight against me then they may just back off.” Shining smiled and I heard the father laughing. Shining walked over to me as we walked.

“I like this idea. This way we can show you what will happen in you hurt a hair on Twilight’s head.”

I laughed as I looked at him. “If you think you can win a fight with me then you two better come at me with everything you’ve two got.” We walked around the corner and we saw the castle with a large building just outside the walls. Our group walked to that building as I saw man jogging on a field. I looked up to the balconies and noticed blueblood looking down at us. ‘Oh this is going to be good.’ We walked onto the field as all the guards stopped and looked at Luna. They bowed to her as we walked to a fighting field. I stopped when I stood at the edge of the fighting arena.

“I’m going to get my armor I’ll be right back.”
Armor ran to the building as I and the father waited in the fighting arena. After a few minutes armor came back in his armor. He walked into the arena beside his father. I sheath my sword and cracked my knuckle with a smile on my face. “Who’s first?” Shining jumped at me. I spun quickly on my heel then kicked him in the side of the head. His face was smashed from the kick then sent him flying to the outside out cold.

“I think that you hit him a little to hard Nick.”

I looked over to Cadance as she spoke calmly. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I looked at her.

‘You’d better keep an eye open tonight Nick.’

‘Is hell still an option?’

‘No, this is much more fun to watch. Oh, and here a few skills you may find useful.’

I received a few fighting skills from a few animes. ‘Of some of these will be fun to use. I watched as the father drew his sword and charged me. He drew the sword faster then I would have thought he could. Tried to recreate my shadow hand thing again. The magic rune appeared again as I stared raised my right arm. I covered my arm in the shadow as the blade made contact with my arm. I blocked the attack but I was forced a few feet to the left. I turned quickly to the right and heel kicked Nightlight in the head just like I did armor hoping to end this quickly. He slide along the ground leaving a dust trail as he slide on the ground.

“Not bad Nick.”

I was shocked as I turn and saw him getting up. His body was covered in a light blue energy. “Smart using your magic to block my kick’s full power from hitting you. So let’s try a different kind of kick.” I charged him as he swung his sword at me. I punched him in the face and made him drop his sword. I hit him again and sent him back five feet but stayed on his feet. Nightlight then charged me and tried to kick me but I blocked his kick. I got a hold on it. Then I gave a swift punch to Nightlight’s neck then elbowed to his chest that may have cracked a few of his ribs. Then I released his leg and jumped into the air. I spun my body around a few times then gave a powerful spin kick to his face. Nightlight charged and kicked then but he tried to kick me but I got a hold of it as well with his left arm. Then I gave a swift punch to Nightlight's neck and then an elbow to his chest that may have cracked a few of his ribs.

“Oh my head.”

I was shocked as he got back up slowly. “Ok, I see your not going to stay down easily. Sorry but I guess I’m going to have to do this the hard way Nightlight.” I punched his left cheek, then to his right cheek, then another left and a right, followed by a punch to his liver. My fist broke his armor. Then another one to his face, one to his left and then one more to his right. Then I gave a powerful punch to his gut knocking all his air out of him. He fell to the ground with his eyes rolling back into his head.

“Nick you went overboard!”

I looked over at Twilight as she looked at me. “I’m sorry! I haven’t found anyone who could take me three combo attack in a long time. I had to get a little rough with him! I could have snapped his neck with my first punch if I wanted too!” Twilight sighed as everyone around us looked at me shocked.

“Can you teach me to do that spin kick!?”

“No, me!”

Guards and nobles rushed me as I tried not to get knocked over. I looked at Blueblood out of the corner of my eye. I saw a shocked look on his face as he looked down at me. I smirked then his face turned into a scowl. I heard someone slowly clapping as the guards stopped crowding me. I looked around and saw Celestia slowly walking over to me. She was in a long white dress with golden bracelets and a golden waistband in the sinter. She had a sweet but dangerous smiled on her face.

“I see that you have quite the skills much like your ancestor Storm Star. Thought I dough you’d ever get near his skill level.”

I narrowed my eyes as I stared at him. “I don’t know who Storm Star is but I don’t like I don't like being compared to anyone. But if you think you're up to the challenge then come at me.” I lifted my right hand and waved for her to come and get some. She frowned as she looked at me.

“If you and I were to really fight I think you’d find you scratch me.”

I gritted my teeth as I looked at her then smiled. “How about a bet then Celestia.” She raised an eyebrow as she looked at me.

“What kind of a bet?”

I smiled as looked at her. “I know where you can find 10 tons of pure quinque metal.” Her eyes were wide as I looked at her. Then she narrowed her eyes as she looked at me,

“What do you get if you can scratch me then?”

I smiled as I looked at her. “I get free run of the castle for two hours.” She frowned then clenched her fist as I looked at her.

“And you can guarantee me the 10 tons of prue quinque metal if you lose?”

I nodded my head as I looked at her. “I can, before I sealed the main base I locked the metal away with some help from so old friends.” I seemed to have peaked her interest.

“Who would that be?”

“Haha, like I’m going to tell you. Now do you want to fight or do you want to stand her and talk like children?”

“I believe I want to fight if I can get quinque ready to use.”

I smiled as she walked into the arena and started to stare me down. I stared back at her and she covered her hands in gold energy. She put a barrier around her as she smirked.

“Let’s see you get through a magic shield.”

I smirked then looked at my right fist. “Let’s see what I can do with you now.” I clenched my fist then magic energy concentrated around my fist. A clear ball of energy formed on my hand ‘Wow, it’s like whitebeard attack. I’m calling this Air cracker.’ I jumped at her then slammed the air ball into her shield.The air cracked in front of her as her eyes widen.

“WAIT!”

The air ball broke then a massive shock wave hit her with a massive air blast throwing everyone behind me back. Her shield cracked to a critical point. Parts were falling in on itself as my attack stopped. I smiled then kicked the shield as hard as I could. The shield broke under the physical strain. I looked at her as her shield fell to the ground. I lunged forward then tried to hit her in the face. She panicked then vanished in thin air.”What the…” I suddenly got hit the back of the head then my head was slammed into to ground. I gritted my teeth then jumped back up onto my feet.

“That should have knocked you out!”

I turned around and saw Celestia behind me with her right fist balled with her magic around it. I cracked my neck as I looked at her. “Ok, now I’m pissed.” I grabbed Night Fury then drew it as she summoned a golden battle axe. I looked behind her and say no one behind her. ‘Ok Night fury give me something powerful.’ I felt the sword pols as the blade glowed lightly.

“What are you doing this time?”

I raised Night Fury above me head then swung the blade down full force. “Windscar!” A large column of razor shape air race forward at her. She tried to put up another shield but it was to late. The attack hit her as the shield was destroyed then the attack hit her. Her dress was destroyed from the force of the attack but she did manage to cover her body with magic to protect herself only getting a few scratches. The attack moved up the mountain leaving a large scar on the mountain. I smiled as I looked at it then my vision started to blur. I stumbled a feet forward. I fell on my face as I felt so drained from what I just did. I turned my head as I looked over at the mountain. I smiled as I saw how much power I had now.

“Are you ok Nick?”

I heard Twilight beside me then I answered her. “Ya, but now no one will attack our city. Not with this power but I think I’m going to take a quick nap.” I heard her talk as I started to blackout.

“I’ll make sure Celestia keeps her end of the deal.”

Two hours later

I started to wake up as I heard voices around me.

“He’s waking up!”

I heard a woman's voice I recognize as Luna. I opened my eyes as I sat up with a few acks and pains. I blinked as I rubbed my back as most of the pain was coming from my back. I looked around as I saw guards, maid, butlers, Nobles looking in the room.

“I’m glad you woke up Nick.”

I looked at the right and I Twilight saw sitting at a table with some tea with our elite soldiers around her. I started to get out of bed but Twilight used her magic to forced me back down.

“No you stay down your body is drain from using more magic energy then your body had.”

I sighed then laid back down on the bed. Then I looked around the room because I know this isn’t a hospital or medical wing in a castle. I was in a dark room with extravagant furniture in the room. I also saw that just about everything in this room was black and light blue with a few pink items here and there.

“Do you like my room?”

I looked over at Luna as I heard her voice. “This is your room? Well not what I expected to see in your room. I would have thought you’d been one of those weapon crazy woman.” She laughed as she walked over to a closet. She opened it and my eyes when wide. I was shocked as I could just barely see a large collection of weapons. Spears, swords, maces, axes and a few large bows. I whistle as I looked in the closet. “Smart girl you’ve got your own armory in your room. Remind me not to fight you without so back up.” We laughed as someone forced their way into the room. Shing and the father forced their way into the room. I waved at them as they looked at me. “Um, I guess your mad I beat you right?”

“WE'RE LAUGHING STOCKS!”
