Allies

I laid in the medical wing with the doctors patching me up. The other rules came to talk to me as the doctors healed my leg Ember, Luna and Twilight the most content. Thunder and his wife and The queen also came as well. They tried to convince me to come and train their troops but I refused. After their third try they gave up on that way of asking. The queen tried to ask me to come and meet her daughters but Twilight scared her away with massive thunderbolts in her hands.

‘Maybe you should look into making a harem. I know when you have kids their going to be more like you. Have the powers without the drawback of having to eat human flesh. Oh, before I forget I made you some help for taking the savage and they’re on their way.’

I smiled at that as I was happy to hear my children wouldn’t be monsters. But I had no Idea of what he meant by help. As I thought the door to the medical wing opened and Twilight and Spike walked in. I smiled at see them and held my fist out to the little man. “Long time no see spike how you been?” She smiled then fist bumped me.

“I’ve been good thing have been quiet in ponyville as usual. Though I want to ask the two of you something.” Twilight and I looked at each other then back down at him. I patten the seat beside my bed and her walked over and sat down.

“I-I”

He shuddered as he tried to speck. I laid a hand on his shoulder and he looked at me. “Take a breath count to ten the talk.” He nodded his head the did as I said. Then he looked me in the eyes.

“I want to leave with you two.”

Celestia pov

I sat on my throne think off all I have seen over my long life. Even I a woman well over three thousand years old had never seen a beast such as what Nick has. A beast that terrified be the moment I saw it and yet I could not help but wonder what do I not know of in this world. How someone so young could know of the crystal empire and Sombra. ‘Maybe I should have listened to Luna the day they left. Nick clearly is not a normal human and being related to Star puts me in a very bad place with Luna. She grown attached to Nick because of it.’ As I thought one of my guards walked into the throne room.

“Your highness three men are outside the gate asking to see you.”

I raised an eyebrow as I looked at him. “Did they say what the need?” He nodded his head as he looked at me.

“No, they wish to ask you and Princess Luna personally.”

I was curious as to what they wanted. “Everywell go and let them in but Luna is busy.” He bowed then tan out of the throne room. I waited a few minutes then a large group of men walked into the room. I looked at them as they walked into the throne room. A tall muscular, broad-chested, tanned man with a curly, black mustache, a dark blue top hat, and an earring in each ear. He wears a semi-open dark blue shirt with a white diamond stripe-pattern near the top that reveals some of his hairy chest, as well as a cape that his shirt, and white gloves. He also wears light blue pants with a belt that holds two sword sheaths, one on each side. He wields two sabers, one in each hand.

Beside him was a lean, muscular, blonde-haired man with a rather sleepy look on his face and some stubble around his chin. He wears an open purple jacket and a light blue sash adorned with an elaborate golden-yellow belt around his waist. He has dark gray knee-long pants and black sandals, and on his left leg he wears what appears to be some sort of straw decoration. While his chest was bare in his initial appearance, in his subsequent appearances he has the cross and crescent moon.

.

I looked at the last of the three then felt fear rise in my soul as I looked at him. He was a tall, muscular man with a wild and aggressive appearance, which fits his appearance perfectly. He had a long face with pronounced cheekbones, and pronounced hairless brow ridges. He has green eyes and long, stringy black hair. A noticeable trait in his appearance is a long, thin scar running down the left side of his face and across his left eye, inflicted on him by who know who.

“Come on marco I thought you said he was here. I don’t have time for a weak woman. I want the red demon right now!”

The man that stuck fear in me spoke of a red eyed demon. The man with a tattoo on his chest looked at the man.

“Quit your whining Kenpachi. Do you really want to get covered up again?”

The man growled then laid and arm on a sword on his side as he looked to the side. Then the man with the tattoo looked at me with a soft smile on his face.

“Hello Princess Celestia, I caught wind an old friend was here in the castle. One we would like to see again after he disappeared a about five months back. He decided it was time to finish a mission given to him when he heard a rumor about a woman he was after.”

I looked at them and noticed a few familiar things. “Would these friend’s name be Nick by chance?” They all smiled as they looked at me.

“Yes, he told us about how he was to hunt down some woman named Rize. He travel with me, Vista and our crew. He had a talent for fighting ghouls and killing them which came in handy. Then he got into a deathmatch with Kenpachi here before he left to hunt down that woman.”

I was shocked as I looked at them. “Wait you all know Nick Storm?” He laughed as he looked at me.

“Your highness we know a lot about him. We may have only fought together for two year but it was a great.”

I looked down at him then smiled. “What can you tell me about him.”

“You never give up do you?”

I sighed as I heard Nick’s voice from behind the door. The door opened and Nick, Twilight, spike and my sister. Nick was walking with the help of crutches. He and they black haired man looked at each other and Nick looked annoyed.

“Well look who were got here the red eyed demon. You know I’m still pissed that you beat me year and half year ago.”

Nick’s face changed as he stared at him.

“You and I both know I won our bet Zaraki you can go to hell if you think I’m going with you.”

The man smiled as he grabbed his sword.

“I was hoping you’d put up a fight. The last time I had any fun was when you and I fought.”

Nick narrowed his eyes as the mad man stared him down.

“Ok you two can beat each other to death later. Right now we have problem but given the state your body is in I don’t think you can help right now.”

I saw the dragon clan princess Ember walk in as he talk.

“You killed a baskerville and were having trouble with one again.”

Nick looked at him as Ember looked at him with wide eyes. Then she dashed out of the room.

“Is pops asking for me Marco?”

Marco smiled as he looked at Nick.

“You know he is or we wouldn’t be here Nick.”

Nick pov

I smiled as the plan Death had put into motion was playing out nicely. Making some of the most powerful anime characters to help me take this world was a stock of genius. I looked at Luna as she looked at me. “Do you think you could fix my leg now I have to go and meet pops.” She raised an eyebrow as she looked at me.

“Who is this pops?”

I smiled as Marco wrapped an arm around me neck and in unison we said. “The strongest man alive!” Now everyone was looking at us as Kenpachi huffed. I smiled as I looked at his annoyed glare. “Aw, someone is getting jealous of the old man.” He glared at me and released his killing intent and covered everyone in his anger.

“Watch your back Nick.”

He vanished in front of us along with the killing intent. I laughed as I saw Celestia fell back into her throne. “Making him mad is so much fun. Oh how have everyone been?” Marco smiled then started to tell me.

“You know same old same old. Pops took your advice to heart and cut back on his drinking after you gave him a few scars. Oh that remind minds me he told me to go to hell for that.”

I laughed and everyone else walked into the room.

“Oh, Gasai said she can’t wait to see you again too.”

I peeled as I heard at name. ‘DEATH THE FUCK A YANDERE!?’ I heard him laughing as I started to plan my escape/Murder plan.

“Nick who is this Gasai?”

I heard Twilight ask and before I could answer Marco opened his mouth.

“Nick’s crazy fan girl who’s got in her head she’s going to be his wife even if she has to kill him.”

I gulped as I looked at him. “Please tell me you took her knifes away. I don’t think I can dodge another knife storm.” He smiled as he patted my back.

“We did but... now she’s got a sword collection.”

“Of you gotta be fucking kidding me!” He patted my back again as Luna started to heal my leg.

“Hey look at it like this as long as you can run you can get away hopefully without a sword in your back.”

I looked at him as he smiled. “I hate you sometimes you know that?” He laughed as his left covered in blue and golden flames.

“Just remember if she corners you I’ve got your back like the old days.”

I frowned then heard Twilight.

“Nick did you do anything with this girl?”

“If you count not trying to get raped in my sleep or get a knife in the back then no.” I looked at her and I saw her hair starting to smoke. “Crap RUN GUYS!” Marco and Vista did as I said. I dropped to the ground as she screamed and fire flew in the room. Luan,Twilight family friend and Celestia all dropped to the ground as well. The fiames died after a second then it was quiet in the throne room. I looked up as I heard Twilight huffing in annoyance. “You ok sweetie?”

“I’m going to kill that bitch if she comes near you.”

I felt a shiver go down my spine as I looked at her. ‘Ok, Death I think you just signed my death wish.’ I moved my left leg as I started to get off the ground. I smiled as the pain was gone now and I grabbed my sword. I drew it as I stood then slashed the cast down the middle. I stomped then cast on the ground and it fell off my leg. Finally I can’t stand not moving on my own two feet again.” I kicked the air a few times then jumped on it a few times.

“So, now that you can move on your own now do you want to get going?”

I looked up at Marco as he floated in the air with his phoenix wings and Vista stabbed his swords into the roof. “Ha, Marco the Phoenix. I never thought I would see those wings again Marco.” He smiled as I dropped down and Vista pulled his sword out of the roof. They landed and I nodded my head. “I am but the others may need sometime to get there things were heading home today anyways.” They nodded then started to walk out of the throne room.

“Meet us at the edge of the city in three hours Nick.”

“See you then.”

They walked out them I sheath Nightfury. I saw the other rulers looked at me as I started to laugh. “Hahahaha! Things are getting crazy just like the good old days!” Marco and Vesta walked out of the room. I saw the other rulers looked at me as I started to laugh. “Hahahaha! Things are getting crazy just like the good old days!” I saw them all looking at me as I laughed.

“What was that!”

I looked at Celestia as she looked right at me with shock in her eyes. I smiled as I looked at her. “My friends Celestia my friends.” Her mouth was agape as she looked. “Oh and as for Kenpachi I suggest you have the guards search the castle and city. When I fought him he had just finished killing a group of men just because he was bored. If he gets bored he may go on a killing spree and I know for a fact you can touch him if he wants to kill you.” I turned and was about to leave when she spoke up again.

“Wait how do we stop him if he does go on a killing spree!?”

I looked at her with a frown. “Pray that you have the strength to survive his attacks until you get a clean shot at his chest or throat. I know I must cut him at least eight times over the chest but he wouldn’t go down.”

“Then how did you finally take him down?”

I smiled as I looked at her. “I stabbed him through the left shoulder but he damned near stabbed me through my heart if I didn’t dodge in time. If I had Nightfury back then I would have beaten much sooner than I had.” She mimic a fish as she looked at me which made me smile. “Come on very one going to the wedding let's go pack.” The followed us out then too their room as me and Twilight walk home with her parents. I packed our bags while Twilight talked with her parents and Cadence. I got my new gauntlet as I finished packing. The rest of the gauntlet formed when I put the gauntlet on. I swung the arm around a few times as I I felt magic flowing in my body. I smiled as I started to channel magic again but this time it was a crimson red just like my eyes.

“Oh, your magic is starting to form more naturally.”

I turned my head and saw Shining Armor looking in the room. “What do you mean man?” He smiled and waved for me to follow him. I grabbed the bags as I followed him out of the room. We walked into the living room where everyone was waiting. The girls had their bags rarity had at least twenty and Luna had two suitcases in her. “Everyone ready?”

“Yes”

I smiled then we walked out of the house. A group of night guards were waiting out with four carriages and my back was tied down to a trailer of a suites. I put the bags in the carriage with the girls then I told them to follow me and I’d find Marco and Vesta. It took me about half an hour and I found them in a bar when Marco kicked a man through a door. I dragged them out Marco being drunk and Vesta not being a big drinker was slightly tipsy. The two of us dragged Marco to an empty carriage so he wouldn’t bother the girls. Vista sat in with him and I sat on top of the carriage know I drunk will do anything in a second’s notice. As we rode I started to practice my magic seeing how I could use it. I had a few balls of magic as I cleared my mind to just let them take shape by themselves to see what they’d make. As I watched them I saw them take shape. The back on the magic formed to look like a bone and the tip was like that of a spike. I smiled as I looked at them. ‘I guess I’m like sans I wonder if I can use gaster blaster too?’ We stopped at a train stilton and I jumped down from the roof. I made the bones vanish as they girl’s door opened.

“Come on Marco we don’t have time for you at act stupid drunk.”

Vesta pulled Marco from the carriage as he laughed. I sighed then slammed my gauntlet into the side of his head. I knocked him out as his weight fell into Vesta. He thanked me as I grabbed his legs then we walked into the station. The others followed us and Vista told us we had to go the west of the city we landed in a week ago. Luna and Twilight seat beside me as we rode on the train.

“So, tell me Nick what have you been up to over the months?”

I looked over at Vista as he looked at me with his hands resting on his lap. I smiled then started to explain everything I’ve done, how I started to build a kingdom. Then I surprised them when I said I planned to ask pops if I can take some men as generals. He smiled as he looked at me.

“I sure you will find some people willing to go with you. I know Gasia is going to jump at that chance the moment she hears it. Besides you know as well as I why she is so determined.”

I huffed as I looked out the window. “I’ve told her before that it wasn’t going to happen no matter what happened.” He sighed as he looked out his window at the passing trees.

“The fight between you and Ace still comes up as the greats fight in the crew’s history.”

I laughed as I looked at him again. “Really? You lot must be bored if your all still talking about that old fight. Maybe I should fight the old man this time that would be a fight to remember. The old man may punch me threw another wall like when I first tried to fight him. Hopefully I don’t get knocked out by one punch gain.”

“Careful if our soldier were to hear that you’d never hear the end of it.”

I looked at Twilight as she smiled at me. I smiled then wrapped an arm around her shoulders. “Ya, I’d have to listen to heavy forever.” She laughed as she laid her head on my shoulder. I pulled her more into my side as Vista laughed as we cuddle.

“Gasia is so going to kill her Nick.”

I looked at Marco as he sat up from his place in the seat. I smiled as I looked over at him with my canines showing. “I guess I’ll have to get rough with her like the time she nearly tried to stab me in the back. I pinned her to the wall with her own knives remember?” He smiled as he looked at me. He laughed as he looked at me.

“You know that the second you show up your division is going to attack you got running off.”

I groaned as I looked at Vesta. “You’ve got to be kidding me! I should be more worried about the other cammaders like you two. I know you two won’t attack because we're friends but the other may have different Ideas of what their going to do!” They laughed as I saw everyone else looking at me.

“What did you do with these guys Nick?”

I leaned my head back and I looked at Rainbow. “Fought with them mostly Rainbow and a few parties killed a few ghouls then meet Gasia then started to sleep with one eye open.” She turned in her seat and rested her arms on the seat tops as she looked down at me.

“Now that your in a talking mood mine telling us but this Gasia girl?”

I looked at her then sighed. “Mit as well I know none of you will let it go until I do. Yuno Gasai is a young girl with pink eyes and long pink hair styled in pigtails, two hanging as frontal locks featuring a pair of red bows, and the back pigtails left bare. Her most common attire consists of a blue shirt with a ribbon on her chest accompanied by a blue skirt with high socks, but her wardrobe changes occasionally throughout the years. When in "Psycho Mode" I used finger quotes as I looked at her. “Her eyes will change from a normal state to where her pupils enlarge with rings on the inside. When she gets like that even pops had a hard time getting her to calm down.”

“O-ok what is her personality like?”

I looked at her as she started to sweat. “Yuno's personality is ambiguous. For the most part she is a sweet, feminine, and sometimes shy girl when around me. But, this masks her dark and sanguinary side a ruthless, cold and calculating psychopath who has little, if any, problem in using others for her ends: her and my own survival. She will resort to cruel and usually violent methods, most of the time coming out of nowhere, that generally end in bloody death or a small massacre. I’ve seen the damage she can do when she gets like that, It's nasty no gorry is a better way to put it.”

“I have a question to Nick.”

I looked over at Armor as he looked over at me. “Shot man.” He nodded then started to ask something I wasn’t ready for.

“How did you overcome the fear of death? You fought a monster that kill a hundred guards like they were nothing.”

I looked over at him as he waited and I saw their father was looking at me. “A strong will is how I do it. When you’re staring down a monster the only way you can stand is to hold your ground and fight through it. For someone like you you’d need have something to protect of someone is what may give you the ability to overcome your fear of death. I heard this once and now I’ll tell you do with it what you will. Training, help and experience can only get you so far as a swordsman. Fear of death holds all swordsman all of us back to reach the next level you must first defeat that fear.” He looked at me like I was crazy then yelled.

“How do you defeat the fear of death that’s impossible!”

‘Death.’

‘On it killed intent in three…Two...One.’

I glared at him as he jumped back in his seat as I saw fear and terror in his eyes. I saw it affected everyone in front of me so i stopped by blinking my eyes. “There is lesson one Armor. When you’ve defeat the fear of death you can force the fear of death onto other people.” He dropped top the floor as he looked at me. I smiled as he did and then I yawned. “God doing that is a pain, I hate using killer intent to scare someone.

“How did you do that!?”

I looked over at him again as he flinched back. “I’ve defeated my fear of death man, once you’ve done that you’ll eventually figure out how killer intent works. Think of what you felt when Kenpachi’s killer intent at the castle. He has no control over his some he can only realise its power by releasing it in a wide area. Not like I just did by focusing on you to strike the fear of death in your heart. If you’d like I could try and teach you how to defeat the fear as well.” I smiled as I saw him starting to sweat as I glared at him. He gulped as he looked up at me.

“C-can you really teach me how to overcome something like that?”

“I can teach the basics but you’ll have to find what will defeat the fear of death for you’re self.” He gulped as he looked up at me.

“Can you teach me the same thing Nick?”

I looked at the father as he was slightly sweating as well. I smiled as I looked at him. “Ya, but you both should know theres a very good chance I’ll kill the both if you fail to overcome your fear.” He laughed slightly as he looked over at me.

“Damn you’re actually kind of scary Nick.”

I rubbed Twilight’s arm as she leaned back into the seat. For the next hour we rode in silence as Twilight and her mother both fell asleep. When we stopped Twilight’s mom woke up but Twilight was still asleep beside me. I laughed then picker up the had Shining help me get her onto my back. I used silver skull to help keep her on my back as we walked off the train. Luan sent a letter to the guard post in the city as waited.

“Where are we going Marco?”

“Fifty miles west of the city we’ve docked the ship along the shore.”

I nodded as a guard unit came to the station with three carriages. I put twilight in with Spike and the girls in the middle carriage. I got my bike from off the train then started to drive down the streets. As I drove a felt a chill run down my spin.

‘Have fun the Yuno Gasai I made just spotted you. Have fun with that Nick.’

‘I’M GOING TO MURDER YOU!’ I panicked as a knife suddenly flew next to my head and stabbed into the carriage Luna and Twilight’s family. I looked forward and I saw Yuno Gasai standing in the middle of the road. She was dressed like she was in the show with a knife in hand as she looked at me.

“NICK! YOU CAME BACK TO ME!”

I hit the brakes then turned the bike to try and stop as far from her as I could. The wheels screeched as I tried to stop as she smiled like a creeper. I stopped a good twenty feet from her. Marco and Vista jumped out of their carriage ready to fight. The other’s got out as Gasai ran up at me.

“NICK!”

I rushed to get off the bike but she jumped and managed to grab me. I fell to the ground as she wrapped her arms around my neck with a knife next to my throat. Marco pulled her off me as the girls got out of their carriages. Vista helped me up as Twilight walked over to me as she looked at Marco as he was having trouble holding Gasai.

“Is that her Nick?”

I nodded as I looked at them. “Ya, that’s Yuno Gasai if I’ve ever seen her. Watched Marco she’s aimed and you know she’s got more then one knife.”

“Right now, you and Gasai what are you doing here?”

She smiled as she looked at me.

“I knew you’d have to go down this street to get to us so all I had to do was wait. But what I want to know is why are many girls around MY Nick?” Twilight grabbed me as she looked at Yuno.

“Hello, I’m Nick FIANCEE Twilight nice to meet you.”

Yuno’s right eye twitched as she looked at Twilight. “Marco whatever you do don’t let her go no matter what.” He tightens his hold on her as Armor and Nightlight looked at her.

“I’ll gut you bitch!”

She screamed as she kicked and tried to get out of Marco’s hold. I sighed then stood back up from my place on the ground. “Sorry about this Gasai.”

“Wha…”

I dashed forward then slammed my fist into her gut. She coughed up the air in her lungs then when limp in Marco’s arms. “Damn it I hate to hit a woman.”

“But she really didn’t give you much choice man. Think of what she would have done if loss. Don’t you remember what she did in zerbrac.

‘Play along I’ve mixed in a few country and contents to make a story for they to tell.’

‘got it.’

I sighed as I looked at him. “Yes, I know and we really don’t want her playing the psycho card again. I swear sometimes I hate my caring nature. Let’s get moving before she wake up and goes on a bloody rampage.” He nodded then we all started to move again. Marco carried her into their carriage as I looked at everyone else. “I’ll promise to explain when I’m sure she won’t Intervene.” They all looked at one another then nodded. I sighed as they all loaded back into the carriages as I got back on my bike. We traveled the way they said and I saw the mast of the Moby dick.

“Nick!”

I looked up the room where I heard someone yell to me. I smiled as I saw the other commanders.

“Long time no see second deviation commander!” I smiled but noticed two people were missing as I rode in front of them. “Where’s Thatch and Ace?” everyone was quiet as I looked at them. I felt my heart drop as I heart the other got out of the carriages. “Don’t tell me Their…” I looked at Marco as he and Vista looked at me. “You two knew!” They nodded as I looked at them.

“We’re sorry but we knew that if we told you we’d knew you’d run off after their killer.”

“What are they talking about?”

Everyone walked up behind them as they looked at me. “It was Teach, wasn’t it?”

“Ya it was.”

I turned my head and I saw Namur walking out from behind the other’s. “Namur, where is he? What happened after I left?”

“Hm, Teach saw a chance to grab power and he took it. Now he’s off running who knows where doing who knows what. We know one thing now he’s dangerous now.”

I sighed as I looked at the ground. “I’ll find and handle him later for now let’s go see pops.”
