Castle's Garden

Ash ran away from the ballroom and entered a garden. He stopped near a meadow and looked around to see anyone but saw no one. He let out a sigh and thought what happened back at the ballroom, with all those eyes looking at his muscles. Brrrrr. He felt a chilling sensation going down his spine.

Come to think of it, he looked down at his muscles and saw that they were still bulging and were also shining. Why? Oh yeah. The Jewel Meat has a luminescence effect on the one who eats it. He again felt hungry and since his upper suit was ruined, he ate the rest of the Jewel Meat balls. Again his muscles bulged and his body evolved to another level, making him stronger than before.

After eating the Jewel Meat balls, Ash snapped his fingers to recreate the ruined suit and wore it. His body was still shining, so he took a sample of this luminescence and made a new skill.

Luminescence
His body will shine brightly enough to blind enemies or light a dark path.

After that, he walked around the garden for a bit to relax and have the luminescence effect disappear. While walking through the garden, he saw many different flowers and animals there. The scenery soothed him as he laid down on the grass and rested for a bit. While relaxing, he heard some voices he recognized. He stood back up and moved in the direction of the voice.

After a while, Ash found the owners of the voices and saw Spike with Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. They were talking and even dancing with each others, which made them look cute. He even saw the fillies giving Spike a kiss which made him blush. Ash was happy for Spike for he now has three lovers.

As Ash was about to leave, he saw some nobles making their way towards Spike and the three fillies. By the looks of their faces, it seemed they did not have any good intentions. He stood there and waited to see what happens.

One noble said, "What are your kind doing here dragon?

Spike raised an eyebrow and said, "What? You have a problem with me?

Another noble said, "This is Canterlot. Home of the nobles of Equestria and we don't allow over grown lizards like you here."

Another noble said, "Yeah. So get out of Canterlot before we get the guards to do so."

The fillies and Spike became angry. Apple Bloom said, "Hey. Who do you think you are picking on Spike like that."

Scootaloo said, "Yeah. Don't you have some important thing to do besides talking down to Spike?"

Sweetie Belle said, "Spike is a great dragon and he is our date. So don't go around and pick on him just because he is not a pony."

Ash smiled how his lovers stood up for Spike. The nobles were shocked to hear that the fillies were dating a non pony. One said, "How could you date someone that is not a pony. Then that means .... you three are impure! Blasphemy!"

Another noble said, "Throw them into the dungeon!"

A female nobles said, "Banish them from Equestria!"

Another said, "They must not leave here! Call the guards! Catch these heathens and punish them!"

The group of nobles began to march menacingly towards Spike and the fillies. The fillies were scared as they saw the nobles approaching them with disgusted faces. Spike moved in front of the fillies to protect them. He could do little against this group.

Spike protecting the fillies made Ash happy. However, what the group of nobles said to them made him angry. How dare they say those kinds of things to the young ones! Who do they think they are! He took a deep breath and shouted "Roar Bullet" towards the group of nobles.

The nobles approached the young ones with intent to punish the fillies and the dragon but they were stopped right in their tracks when something out of no where appeared in front of them that scared the shit out of them. In front of them was a huge face with a dangerous scowl and had its teeth bared at them.

The nobles could not move a muscle as fear took control of their bodies. The face was glared right at them and spoke in a demonic voice, "Hey! You bastards! Who do you think you are talking to these young ones! If you don't want to be mutilated, then hurry up and get lost! If you don't, then I will devour you! Every single one of you!"

The face then opened its mouth revealing several rows of razor sharp teeth and it then *Rrrrrroooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrr* at them, making them scream and run away with their tails between their legs.

Ash made sure that the nobles were away from Spike and the fillies. He saw that the fillies were hugging Spike and praising him for protecting them, that made Spike blush. Ash laughed at that and decided to leave them alone and not ruin their moment. He gone back to laying on the grass and waited for the Gala to end. He really needed to know something about the golems. Maybe the princesses have knowledge about them since they have lived for thousands of years. And Zecora. The way she became stiff at the mention of the flesh and metal beings, maybe she knows something about that. Well, thinking about all of these things is making him sleepy. So with the calm environment of the garden and the night star sky, he fell asleep.

After a few hours, he heard sounds of several foot steps approaching him. Ash woke from his slumber and stretched his limbs. He saw that his body was not shining anymore. He then waited to see the ones approaching him and after a while, Twilight, Trixie, Rarity, Lotus, Pinkie Pie, Ditzy, Rainbow Dash, Gilda, Applejack, Swift Tail, Fluttershy, Mellow Hoof, Aloe, Zecora, Celestia, Luna, Fancy Pants, Fleur, Prince Rutherford, King Iron Hoof and Ember arrived.

Ash was happy to see them but saw that the girls still had a bit of blush on their cheeks. He felt bad about ripping his suit that Rarity worked hard to make. He said, "Rarity. I'm sorry for ruining the suit you have given me."

Rarity said with a smile, "Oh don't worry about that Ash. I'm not mad at all. And besides, the girls got to see what was hidden underneath all of those clothes and I have to say that they loved every second of it."

The girls were blushing furiously. They could not deny that they loved seeing his well defined muscles that every stallion envied.

Ash asked with a raised eyebrow, "Are my muscles really that interesting?"

Rarity nodded and said, "Of course darling. The girls have been fantasizing about your muscles every day and today, they finally got to see what they truly looked like."

The girls were now blushing more as they avert their eyes from looking at him. Rainbow flew to him and said, "Ash! What happened back there? It was like your muscles just went boom! And they just ripped and were bulging and ... wow. That was so awesome! Can I touch your muscles?"

Ash was now blushing when she ask that. The girls became jealous and Applejack said, "Now hold on there Rainbow. You can't just go up to him and asked to just touch him like that."

Pinkie said, "Yeah Rainbow! I mean if you want to touch him then you will first need to bring him to a room and then take your clothes off and then have a bit kissy wissy and then-mmmmph!!??"

Twilight, who was blushing furiously, covered Pinkie's mouth and said, "Okay! That's enough Pinkie! Too much information!"

The rest of the girls were blushing too. Ash receded his blush with his virus and tried to change the subject by asking, "Where is Spike and his dates? It's almost night time."

A blushing Luna said, "They were getting sleepy so we took them to a room where they are now sleeping."

Ash said, "Thank you princess Luna. Princess Celestia. Why don't you take all of us to a room where we can discuss about the thing Ember spoke of?"

The princesses nodded and they all went inside the castle and into a huge room. When they all settled, Ember spoke, "So, are you going to tell us now what those things are?"

Ash nodded and said, "Before I continue, I will first tell you how I met those thing. During this past week, I was ambushed when I let my guard down and payed for it. The aztec king Ahuizotl had his flunkies kidnapped me and brought me to an ancient temple far away from Equestria. And before I continue." He Pointed towards Rainbow and asked, "Rainbow. Do you know who Daring Doo is?"

Rainbow said, "Yeah. Me and my friends know her. We even went to one of her adventure against this Ahuizotl guy."

Ash said, "Then can you contact her and tell her to inform me whenever she encounters with Ahuizotl in the future."

Rainbow said, "Sure. Twilight can tell Daring Doo that but why do you want her to inform you about Ahuizotl?"

Ash said, "Ahuizotl kidnapped me and tried to force me to become his slave and help him take over the world. If I refused to do so then he threatened to harm you girls. That is why I want to know where that bastard is so I can kill him as soon as possible."

Everyone was shocked to hear that. They knew how strong Ash is and if someone even dared to hurt the girls, then he would go after that person and deal with him.

Ash continued, "Needless to say I got angry and started to slaughter his followers. While I was busy killing them, Ahuizotl ran away from me and into an ancient room with three huge stone doors. When I confronted him, he told me that the temple I was in was built thousands of years ago to trap some kind of dangerous weapons. He released the weapons to distract me and escaped. And that is when I met these things."

Ash snapped his fingers to create three holograms about the things he fought before. Everyone gasped with shock as they see what the things looked like.

Ember pointed towards the holograms and said, "That! Those are the things that the monsters used to attack my kingdom. What are they exactly? Do you know anything about them Ash?"

Ash said, "It was my first time meeting these things so no. But I do know how string they are. They are strong enough to take me on as a Super Saiyan and they are able to hurt me. Yeah, two of them cut off my limbs while the last one impaled me through my chest."

The girls were horrified to hear him say that like it was nothing. Ash said, "Needless to say I got pissed off after I healed myself and went berserk and used my Kaioken and tore them apart mercilessly. After killing them, I took them and studied them for sometime and found that these things are called golems."

Everyone was confused as they don't know what a golem is. Twilight asked, "Excuse me Ash. But what is a golem?"

Ash said, "You can describe a golem as a magically created being made entirely from inanimate matter. Like for example, you first make a figure out of mud and used magic to bring it to life. This will result in making a mindless puppet and if you give it an order, then it will obey you. A golem is only loyal to the one who has created them."

Everyone was surprised to hear that something like that exists. To have a loyal golem following them and protecting them really interests them.

Ash said, "Also, you have to be a powerful magic user in order to create a golem. However, the golems I have faced were entirely different than normal golems."

Luna asked, "What do you mean by that, Ash? Aren't they supposed to look like them?" while pointing towards the three images of the golems.

Ash shook his head and said, "No Luna. They are different because a normal golem is made from mud, clay, stones or metals. A golem can be only made up of one material."

Ash asked Ember, "The ones you have encountered were made up of metal and flesh right?"

Ember said, "Yes. They first looked like they were made up of metal but later with further investigation, we found that they also had flesh on parts of their bodies."

Ash said, "Yes that. Those golems were made up of two materials and let me tell you that it is extremely difficult to create a golem comprising of two different materials. These golems that are taking on your dragon warriors are something beyond that should have never been made."

This confused them at what he meant by that. Celestia asked, "What do you mean, Ash? Is creating one with two different materials a bad thing?"

Ash said, "Like I said, it is extremely difficult to mix two different materials and create a golem out of it but these golems have a material that should never be used."

The girls and the princesses were getting worried when he said that. What could it be? Mellow Hoof asked, "What it is, Ash?"

Ash said, "The flesh of a living being or the being themselves." Everyone was shocked to hear that. He continued, "To create a golem with a living organism is both a forbidden art and requires dark magic."

The girls and princesses were appalled to hear that. To make a golem like that is not only forbidden but to use dark magic as well? That is something they would never do as they will get corrupted by the darkness.

Gilda asked, "Why is it forbidden to make something like that? I get that using the flesh of someone is creepy and down right, wrong but would it not be better to make something strong that will obey and be loyal to you?"

Ash shook his head and said, "Creating a normal golem is fine but when you make a golem with flesh as one of its materials, then that may cause you a consequence."

Trixie asked, "And what's that?

Ash said, "Intelligence. Or to say that the golem will be given the ability to think and with time it will be able to think for its own action. One of the major draw backs for these types of golems is that they will betray you after they have enough intelligence. And believe me, you don't want a thinking golem running free."

Everyone nodded and accepted what he said about the golems. Ember asked, "Can you tell me how to fight against these golems? Do you know any weakness about them that will give us an edge?"

Ash said, "They are pretty sturdy, agile and strong. You can only gang up on them one at a time and attack them between the gaps in their armors. Also, it would help you greatly if you manage to break their limbs and immobilize them. That is all you can do against them. With your giant dragon warriors, you will have no problem dealing with them like that. Also, you should watch out for some surprises. When I thought that I killed the last golem, it stood back up and casted multiple lightning spells at me."

Ember frowned as she didn't get any weakness but accepted his strategy against them. It will help her greatly.

Ash then said, "But there is still one thing that I need to know about these golems."

Fleur asked, "What's that Ash?"

Ash said, "Who was the one responsible for creating these golems?"

That was a good question which struck everyone. Who could have made these abominations?

Ash said, "I mean that whoever did, surely didn't make them for a tea party. They were made to fight and conquer. But back at the temple, Ahuizotl said that the temple was a prison for the golems, was made thousands of years ago." He looked at the princesses and asked, "Princess. Since you both have lived for such a long time, do you know anything about these golems or the one who created them?"

Every eye was on the two princesses and they want to hear what they know. The princesses shook their heads and Celestia said, "I am sorry Ash but even in our long time of ruling, we have never seen or heard anything about these golems."

Ash took a thinking pose and said, "So that means the golems were even more ancient before you two began to rule."

Luna said, "But is it not good that they are ancient? I mean that whoever was responsible for their creation must have died due to old age by now."

Ash shook his head and said, "If only that was true Luna."

This confused them and Fancy Pants asked, "What do you mean Ash?"

Ash said, "Did you all hear what Ember said about the golems?"

Gilda said, "Yeah. She said that they were attacking them along with the monsters."

Ash nodded and said, "Exactly. The golems were working together with the monsters. Someone is giving orders to the golems, which are ancient and that someone might just be the leader of these monsters. Or ... " He trailed off for a few seconds.

The others asked, "Or?"

After thinking for a few moments, Ash said, "Or it could be the very one who created them. Who ever it is, somehow survived or used dark magic to make himself live longer than possible."

Everyone was shocked to hear that. A being from ancient times have somehow used dark magic to make itself live longer than possible.

Celestia asked, "How can you be so sure about this Ash?"

Ash said, "Because once the creator dies, the golem that the being has created will go out of control or will shut itself down permanently. If that should have happen, then the golems would have fought the monsters as well but it didn't. Instead they were aiding the monsters against the dragons."

The others thought about what Ash said and saw that his logic must be true. The princesses believed him because they know what dark magic is capable of.

Zecora was lost in her mind, thinking about whether or not to tell them what she knows about the golems. Maybe she shouldn't since Ash will be able to deal with them or maybe she should because she loves him. The information may be able to be of some use to him.

Zecora cleared her throat to gain everyone's attention and said, "I may have some information regarding these golems that you fought Ash."

Everyone was surprised that she knew something about the dreaded golems. Ash smiled at her for sharing any info about the golems. He said, "That would be very helpful Zecora."

Zecora nodded and said, "There is a legend passed down from generations to generations. According to the legend, thousands of years ago, before the princesses were born, there was a being without any feelings. This being had no mercy or remorse. It only saw others as mere insects beneath its feet and would kill anyone who encountered it. It did not bat an eye or spare anyone from its cruelty. Its tyranny then spread to the whole island and the inhabitants. It created monstrosities from the dead and metal. The monsters obeyed their creator and master in enslaving all the inhabitants of the Island. For hundreds of years, the inhabitants were tormented by the tyrant. Then one day, they began to form a plan to seal away the being and its monstrosities. A grueling battle took place and many lives were lost but in the end, the inhabitants came out victorious against the tyrant. As they were about to seal the being away, it gave them a warning, "I will return once again in the future and when I do, no one will be spared. No one." After they sealed the being, they then made numerous temples around the island and sealed the tyrant's monstrosities away."

When Zecora finished her tale, she saw that everyone was staring at her in shock. They could never have thought that something like that could happen in ancient times.

Ash was calm and he was taking in the new info Zecora just gave him. He thought about many possibilities and came to a conclusion. He said, "Thank you, Zecora. This tale about a tyrant has given me a conclusion. Either this very being has somehow managed to escape from its prison or one of its followers or creations is the one behind the monsters."

Everyone now knows about the tyrant and were beginning to fear it but with Ash here, in this world now, their fears were evaporated. He will protect them. He will also be the one to face this tyrant and put an end to its cruel rule.

Ash asked, "Ember. Can you tell me how your dragon warriors are fairing against the monsters and golems?"

Ember nodded and said, "We have an army of dragon warriors protecting our kingdom. With them, it's only a matter of a month before they could overcome our forces."

Ash nodded and said, "That is good news. I will be first making my way towards the Minotaur kingdom and deal with the monsters there. After that, I will visit the dragon kingdom and kill all the monsters and golems there. Prince Rutherford. Is your kingdom having any trouble with the monsters?"

Rutherford said, "We are but there are few of them. We can handle ourselves with our yak warriors. Why only few monsters? Maybe because my kingdom is in a cold place and they don't like cold?"

Ash nodded and said, "If you ever find your kingdom in any sort of danger, then please contact the princesses, so they will tell me and I will come and help you in anyway I can."

Rutherford said, "Sure I will. We yaks stick together and help one another. We help friend too and friend will help us too."

Ash nodded and noticeed that everyone were tired for the day. Celestia said, "It's getting late everyone. Why don't we all call it a night and go to sleep?"

Everyone nodded and the princesses took them to their rooms. Fancy Pants and Fleur said goodbye to everyone and went to their house since they live here. Rutherford, Iron Hoof and Ember went back to their kingdoms. Ash went inside his room and laid on the large comfy bed and was about to fall asleep when he heard a knock on the door. He said, "Come in."

He was expecting to see one of the girls to meet him but was surprised to see Celestia and Luna entering his room.

Celestia said, "Can we talk for a bit Ash, if you're not asleep that is?"

Ash said, "I'm not sleep at the moment." He sat up in a sitting position and asked, "So what do you princesses want to talk about?"

Celestia said, "Please Ash. Just call us by our names."

Luna said, "We need to talk with you privately."

Ash nodded and said, "Okay prin-I mean Celestia. Luna. So, what do you need to talk to be about?"

The princesses were fidgeting a bit and were twiddling their fingers together. After a while, Celestia asked, "Ash. Can you tell us what you desire?"

Ash was a bit confused as to why they would ask him that. He said, "My only desire is to have a big family. One that I will love and care for and I will do anything to protect them."

Luna asked, "But don't you desire more? Something like ruling a kingdom?"

Ash shook his head and said, "Even though I have immense strength, I have no desire to rule any kingdom. Heck, I don't know anything about being a ruler. It's the reason I am avoiding the deer kingdom Deeralios. I need to come up with some excuse or give someone else that position."

This made the princesses smile. He has no desire for ruling and just want to have a loving family. A quality that is rare in males. He will be the perfect candidate for the position of Equestria's king.

Celestia said, "That is very noble of you, Ash. But me and my sister here need to ask you something else."

Ash said, "Sure. Go ahead and ask me anything you want to Celestia and Luna."

The princesses first looked at each other, then looked back at him and asked at the same time, "Can we become your special someponies?"

When they asked him, his brain crashed right then and there. He got that the males in this world are assholes and he is the opposite of them. Because of this, many girls have fallen for him and now the princesses are asking him to be his lovers!

After his Brain.exe v 1.1 was upgraded to Brain.exe v 1.2, he looked at the princesses and asked, "Ummm I am flattered but why me? Won't you be happy with a stallion who knows how to rule this kingdom?"

The princesses became sad and Luna said, "It's because we don't want to be with a stallion who only wants to be with us so that he could become king."

Celestia sadly said, "In our long time of ruling, every male that we have come across only sees us as objects they desire and become king. They don't care about our feeling and just want to rule the kingdom as they want to." She then looked at him with a soft smile and said, "But you Ash are different. You don't see us females as mere objects and have no desire in becoming a king. You treat the girls with gentleness and kindness the males have refused to give."

Luna said with a soft smile, "We want to be loved by a male and we have finally found one. That is you Ash."

Celestia asked, "Please, let us be with you. We don't want to be alone without a lover."

Ash was surprised to see how desperately the princesses want someone to love them, but was disgusted by the males at how they only want to be with them so they can rule this kingdom. He was thinking that if he did allow them to be his lover, then he will become a king which he didn't want. He came out of his thought when he saw tears in the eyes of the princesses. Maybe they thought that he was going to deny their request but seeing them like this made him feel bad. Fuck it. He'll think of what to do with the king thing later. Right now, there are two girls in front of him who he needs to comfort. He got off from his bed and walk towards the princesses. When he came close, he surprised them by hugged them both.

Ash looked at them and gave a soft smile. He said, "If you two want to be with me then I'd be happy for you to become a part of my herd. I will care for you and love you both like I do with the girls."

The princesses were happy to finally be with someone who would love and care for them. They both hugged him and cried tears of joy. After a few minutes, they calm down and released their hugs.

Celestia said with a smile, "Thank you, Ash. You have no idea how happy you have just made us."

Luna nodded and said, "Indeed. We had several suitors before but rejected them for they only desired the throne. You will make us happy and a brilliant King for Equestria."

Ash became a bit uncomfortable about the king part. He said, "Can we not talk about me being the king at the moment. Maybe afterwards but not now."

Celestia asked, "Why don't you want to talk about that Ash? Is something the matter?"

Ash said, "It's just that I don't want to become a king because I don't want to. And if I do become one, then what would I do? I have basically no knowledge about what a ruler needs to do. I will make a bad ruler. And even if I did have any knowledge about a ruler, I still would have refused to become a king."

This made the princesses smile. He had no greed or desire to become a king at all. Which is why, he will make an excellent ruler.

Celestia said, "Ash. It is because of that, you will make the greatest king ever to rule Equestria."

Luna said, "And don't worry about what a king does. We both will teach you everything a ruler does in time."

Ash just sighed and accepted that he would not be able to get away from them and becoming a king. He kind of knew somethings about a ruler but then facing some political stuff will become a pain in the neck for him. However, if it means that he can make the girls happy, then he won't mind doing it. He will do whatever it takes to make them happy.

However, Ash needed to tell them about his viral abilities and ghoul. He needs to see how it will go on with his reveal. He would rather hear them scream monster or something, rather than later.

Ash said, "Celestia. Luna. Since you both will be my lovers, then I have to tell you something. I have been keeping a horrible secret that you need to know."

The princesses became a bit worried and urged him to continue. Ash took a breath and raised his right hand. The princesses gasped when they saw his hand turned into a razor sharp claw.

Ash said, "I have this dangerous ability that allows me to transform my arms into weapons." He then showed them all of his viral weapons. And he showed them his abilities of a ghoul.

The princesses were shocked to see his weapons made of flesh and bones. They get that this ability gives him hidden weapons and such but why did he said that it was a horrible secret?

Luna asked, "Ash. We don't see anything dangerous thing about this. All we are seeing is you turning your arms into weapons which from the looks of it, they can cut through our guard's armor like butter."

Ash said, "This power gives me a dreadful ability. The ability to consume my enemies."

Celestia and Luna were shocked to hear that. To eat others is very disturbing. Celestia asked, "Do you mean you eat them?"

Ash said, "No. It's not like I chew them but rather turn their corpses into usable biomass that I can use to heal other's injuries."

The princesses processed this information and understood why he said it was a horrible secret because it is. However, before they went with their conclusion, they need to confirm something first.

Celestia asked, "Do the girls know about this?"

Ash said, "Yes."

Luna asked, "And what did they think about it?"

Ash said, "They were shocked at first about it but then accepted me for who I am."

The princesses smiled and hugged him that stunned him. Celestia then said, "If they are fine with it, then I don't see any reason for being against it."

Luna said, "Yes. We are fine with it as well. Also, it is more interesting to find out that you are full of surprises."

Ash came out of his shock and asked, "So, you two are not creep or terrified about my abilities?"

Both the princesses simultaneously said, "None at all." They both give him a kiss on the cheek that stunned him. The princesses saw this and chuckled at his reaction and then left the room. Ash just stood there with a stupefied expression as he thought about what just happened. He let out a sigh and laid back on his bed and fell asleep.

Canterlot Castle's Garden

In the castle's garden, there were many statues about ponies and such but one of them stood out from the rest. This one looked like it had parts of different types of animals and put them together to form something like a chimera. Everything close to it was silent, even the animals refused to come close to this thing. Then all of a sudden *Crack*, a small crack was formed on the statue which made nearby animals run in fear. An ominous aura leaked that made the near by plant life wilt. An evil is beginning to to break from its prison with intent to wreak havoc on Equestria. However, it does not know anything about Ash's arrival in this world.

The Next Day

When morning came, everyone gathered in the dining room, where they ate their breakfast. During breakfast, the princesses told them about becoming a part of Ash's herd, which shocked them, especially Twilight whose hair began to stand on some ends. After calming her down, she and the rest of the girls happily accepted the princesses to be a part of his herd. After breakfast, the girls were ready to go home but Lotus, Aloe and Rarity who wanted to do a little shopping in Canterlot before going back to their home. Ash used "Sound Orb" on the rest of the girls to send them to Ponyville. He said goodbye to Celestia and Luna who gave him a kiss on his cheek that made him blush and the girls giggled.

Ash then went with Lotus, Aloe and Rarity for their shopping. The spa twins shopped for spa materials while Rarity shopped for clothes materials in bulk. And when he says bulk, he means that she bought tons of clothes materials that he carried by himself. No way is he going to let a girl carry all of that. He didn't mind at all. He liked spending time with the girls.

After two hours of shopping they decided to have some refreshments in a near by restaurant. They had a couple of snacks and some drinks to relax. Yes, they were relaxing until "Well well well. I didn't think you two would have shown your faces in Canterlot again or did you come here to see me" a voice broke their tranquility. However, the spa twins became stiff as soon as they heard that voice.

The girls and Ash looked at who said that and saw a male Unicorn noble. He approached them with an all high an mighty air around him. Ash noticed that the spa sisters were scared of this stallion. Who could this be that is scaring Lotus and Aloe? Could he be ..... ?

Lotus asked with a trembling voice, "W-We have o-only c-come here to b-buy some herbs for o-our spa, Stone Heart." Stone Heart!!?? This guy is Stone Heart!!??

Aloe said, "We h-have no d-desire t-to meet with you e-ever again."

Stone Heart became a bit angry and said, "Who do you two whores think you are talking to!?"

The near by nobles stopped to see what was going on. Ash was just sitting on his seat and was sipping his drink while trying to keep his anger under control. Sadly to say that with the increasing anger, his veins started to bulge and became visible on his bare flesh.

Lotus got a bit courageous and said, "We don't belong to someone like you and never will be!"

Aloe also got courageous and said, "We will live our own lives and it does not involve you one bit!"

Ash smiled that they were at least standing against this prick but his happiness soon turned to anger at what he heard next. Stone Heart shouted with rage, "Who do you think you are you wenches! I am a noble and I can do whatever I want with commoners such as yourselves! You both belong to me! I own you and your lives!"

That was it! Ash put down his drink and slowly stood up to his full height. He then walked towards the asshole and the girls saw that he didn't look happy at all. He walked right in front of Stone Heart and glared down at him. However, Stone Heart was not scared with years of getting away with things due to his noble status. So why would he be scared of this being glaring at him. He is a noble and this being cannot touch him.

Stone Heart said, "And what are you suppose to be? Their pet?"

The girls gasped but Ash remained calm. He said in a demonic voice, "Let me tell you something Boy. Those lovely ladies behind me are my friends. They are precious to me and a part of my family. They do not belong to you and never will be. You will never come near them again. But if you do and dare to lay a hand on them, then that will be the last time you breathe your last breath. Understand?"

The near by nobles were scared by his demonic voice, even Stone Heart but his fear turned to anger and he shouted, "How dare you threaten me you animal! I will have the princesses banish you from Canterlot and then I will see how you protect those whores you call family!"

Ash was silent for a few moments which made Stone Heart smirk that he had him. However, his smirk fell when Ash said, "If words do not affect you, then I think a little incentive will."

Stone Heart scoffed and said, "What could something like you can probably give me-?" He was cut off when Ash's fist *Bash* meet with his face and then his head *Crash* collided with the ground, forming a huge 10 foot wide and 1 foot deep crater. Several cracks like a spider web were formed from the impact, around the crater. The entire Canterlot nobles stopped right in their tracks as they all felt a small earth quake.

Silence took hold of the air as everyone in the area were seeing something that they could not believe would have happened. From Ash's perspective, he saw his fist buried in the asshole's face whose head was buried into the ground. Probably crushed his muzzle too.

However, from the perspective from the bystanders, they saw that in the middle of the street, which is now turned into a crater, saw the huge being punch the noble right into the ground.

Ash slowly pulled back his fist and stood back to his full height. He glared down at the knocked out prick with disgust. A few guards came to see what all the commotion was about and saw Ash standing in front of an unconscious noble. They recognized Ash because they were disciplined by him at that time.

The guards approached him and asked, "Excuse me. But could you tell me what happened here." The guard asked politely because he knew how strong Ash is and can pummel him and his fellow guards without any trouble at all. They didn't want to be buried in the ground again or tickled either.

Ash looked at the guard with a glare that scared him and said, "This piece of crap was saying trash about my friends. I warned him to keep away from them but he didn't listen and kept on pushing my buttons. Now what you see here is the result of him underestimating me. I want you to arrest him for not only badmouthing my friends but for bodily harming and forcing them to be his slaves."

The guards were shocked when they heard what the noble was being accused of. However, they could not do anything against a noble and tried to deny it by saying, "Forgive me but we can't-"

Ash knew what he was about to say and cut him off by saying, "And if you dare say that you cannot arrest him just because he is a fucking noble, then" He raised his right hand and transformed it into "Razor Claw" that scared everyone, except the girls.

Ash spoke in a demonic voice, "I will punish him myself and let me tell you, it won't be pretty."

The guards swallowed fearfully because they knew that Ash would do it and no one will be able to stop him. So they accepted what he asked them to do and arrested Stone Heart and took him away.

Ash turned his right hand back to normal and then he felt two pairs of arms around his body. He saw that Lotus and Aloe were hugging him and had tears in their eyes. He gave a soft smile and hugged them. After that Ash used "Sound Orb" to send the girls and the things they bought to Ponyville.

Ash then asked a near by guard the direction for the Minotaur kingdom. After receiving the directions, he flew into the sky and flew the Minotaur Kingdom with his Ki surrounding him.

Outskirt Of Minotaur Kingdom

After flying for 2 hours, Ash saw a kingdom in the distance. He looked down upon the land and saw several corpses of both monsters and Minotaur warriors. This showed that they had a recent monster attack.

He landed on the outskirts of the kingdom and pulled out his dual pistols and "Punisher". He equipped them and started to walk towards the entrance of the Minotaur Kingdom. As he was walking, he devoured the corpses on the way for more biomass. When he came closer, he was amazed to see what the kingdom looked from the outside.

With high walls like that, must be the reason for the Minotaurs to defend themselves from the monsters. Ash walked towards the entrance but saw that the giant double gate was closed. He knocked hard on the door and waited. A few moments later, some Minotaur guards looked down from the walls and said, "Who goes there!"

Ash looked up and said, "I am Ash! Your King Iron Hoof is expecting me!"

The guards didn't believe him and said, "And how do we know that you are not lying!?"

Ash said, "We met at the Gala in Equestria and he requested me for my aid! So here I am!"

The guards didn't believe him and said, "Lies! Our King would never ask help from something like you! Go away or we will be forced to attack you!"

Ash glared at the guards and began to walk away. The guards laughed behind his back as they saw him walking away and ... only for him to stop and turn back at them. Ash crouched down and then jumped high in the air and over the wall. He landed right in the middle of the Minotaur guards. The guards immediately brought out their weapons and pointed towards him.

A guard said, "Don't move a muscle or we will attack you!"

Ash said, "Your King has asked me for my help. Either you send one of your guards to the king and find out for yourself or I can just beat you up and meet him myself. What will it be?"

The guards said, "We don't believe a word you say! Everyone arrest this thing!" With a war cry, every guard charged at Ash.

Ash narrowed his eyes at the incoming Minotaur guards and took a battle stance. He used his "Hair Sensor" and "Echolocation" around him to mark his opponents. There were 29 guards around him.

Play this music for the fight

As the first guard came closer, Ash gave a *Bash* quick jab in the guard's stomach. The guard clutched his stomach in pain and went down. 1 down, 28 to go. Three guards attacked him from behind to which he spun around and gave them *Bash* a round house kick that launched them away. 4 down, 25 to go. Sensing danger behind him, Ash quickly raised his arm above his head, used "Tekkai" on his arm and *Clank* stopped an axe attack. He then launched his left elbow backward and *Bash* into the stomach of a guard, knocking him out. 5 down, 24 to go. A guard charged him from the front. As the guard came closer, Ash raised his right leg straight vertically and then *Crash* slam his leg down on the guard and buried him into the ground. 6 down, 23 to go.

The guards now know that Ash was strong and were planning their next move against him. Four guards jumped from four different directions and brought their weapons down upon Ash who didn't move from his position. The guards thought that they had him but they were wrong. Ash used "Kamui" to make his body intangible. This made the incoming attacks pass harmlessly right through him and into the *Crash* ground.

Everyone looked at him with wide eyes and slack jaws. They saw him standing still but the attacks did nothing to him. How can that be possible? Ash then jumped and did a spinning kick that *Bash* hit the four guards in the face and knocked them out.

10 down, 19 to go. Ash then ran towards two guards, grabbed them by their faces and *Crash* slammed them down on the ground head first. In that moment, he used the force of his dash to stand upside down on his hands, raised both of his legs into the air and then *Bash* slammed them down onto a third guard in front of him, with his face *Crash* meeting the ground. 13 down, 16 to go.

Ash stood there on the unconscious guard's head and looked at the remaining guards. He saw that they were now keeping their distance from him. They were now weary of him as they saw how easily he beat 13 of their fellow guards without making a sweat. Some then tried to attack him from all sides. They thought that if they attack him from every direction, then they will be able to get a hit on him.

A guard attacked him from the front to which Ash simple grabbed the Minotaur's weapon with his hand and then *Crunch* crushed it that shocked the guard. Ash then brought the back of his fist down *Bash* on the guard's head and knocked him out. Another guard attacked him from behind. Ash, without looking swung his right fist behind him and *Bash* hit the guard right in the face. Another tried to attack him from his left side and Ash used "Guillotine" with his left hand to *Shiinngg* cut the weapon in half and then *Bash* punched the guard in the stomach. A guard attacked him with a battle hammer to which Ash *Clang* punched the incoming hammer and *Throom* shattered it into thousands of pieces. He then grabbed the guard by the horns and then *Bash* kneed him in the guts. One more ran towards him and was *Bash* backhanded by Ash straight *Crash* into a wall. 18 down, 11 to go.

The remaining guards were scared now because Ash just beat down some guards without moving from his position. Ash was about to pummel them but he received feedback from his "Hair Sensor" about another one approaching him. He put his hands into his coat pockets and after waiting for a few moments, he saw another Minotaur coming towards him and from the looks of it, this one seems stronger then the guards.

The new Minotaur snorted and said, "What's all this? What's going on here?"

A guard said, "This thing says that our king has asked for his help. We didn't believe him and denied him entry into our kingdom. He then jumped up here and started to beat us around."

The Minotaur snorted again and looked at Ash and said, "So, you think you can just walk in here and start beating up the guards? If so, then we'll see how you fare against me, Stone Bulk!"

The remaining guards began to cheer for Stone Bulk. Ash calmly said, "Please refrain from fighting me. You will only get hurt."

Stone Bulk snorted with anger and shouted, "We'll see who gets hurt!"

Stone Bulk charged at Ash with his huge spike mace. Ash pulled out his left hand and then, in a blur, *Clap* slammed his hand into Stone Bulk's face with such force that stopped him in his tracks.

Ash did not stop there. He pushed with more strength and then threw Stone Bulk backwards, onto the ground *Crash* with such force that his upper body was buried in the ground.

Silence reign the air as the remaining guards stare at Stone Bulk with eyes full of disbelief and jaws agape. They could not believe that Ash was able to beat Stone Bulk just like that. He was a stronger Minotaur but against Ash, Stone Bulk simply paled in comparison of strength to him.

Ash then glared at the guards who flinched when they saw him looking at them. He said, "Now will you take me to your King or do I have to beat every one of you?"

The guards were shaking with fear but they still said, "We will not let someone as dangerous as you meet the King just like that!" The remaining guard then gathered into a group and pointed their weapons at him.

Ash sighed with annoyance and used "Soru" to dash between them like a blur and then stood in front of the last guard behind the group. The last guard was surprised to see Ash standing in front of him and then shouted to the rest of the guards, "He's right here!" but his voice didn't reached them. All of a sudden,*Bash* *Bash* *Bash* *Bash* the abdomens of the 10 guards dented in like something hit them and they fell on to the ground unconscious.

When Ash dashed between the 10 guards, he punched each of them like a blur in the stomach. The guards didn't know what happened and after a few seconds, they felt the blow to their stomachs and were knocked out.

The last guard was now trembling with fear as he looked at his fellow guards knocked out on the ground. Ash said, "You will be escorting me to your king. If I go alone, then everyone one will look at me with suspicion but with one of you guards walking with me, they will avert their attention from me. Got it?"

The guard furiously nodded and then started to escort Ash to meet with the King. When they were walking through the streets, many of the civilians were looking at Ash with interest because he was something new to them. He saw that the female Minotaurs looked a bit similar to humans.

During the walk, Ash looked around the city and saw that it was just like Canterlot. There were many building and shops but most of them were selling weapons and armours. They then walked by some buildings that were being constructed. When they went past the construction site, he heard a scream coming from the construction site. Ash looked back and saw a female Minotaur was screaming with a horrified expression.

Why was she screaming? He then looked in the direction she was screaming and found out why. Near the construction site, a little Minotaur girl and was a bit dazed.

Ash then looked up and his eyes widen when he saw that a heavy load of iron beams were hanging from a rope high above the girl. He used "Superhuman Vision" and saw that the rope was beginning to tear from the weight of the iron beams. The female Minotaur was screaming for someone to save the girl's life. This made the near by Minotaurs try to reach for the girl but it was too late as the rope broke and the iron beams began to fall on the girl.

Ash immediately used "Soru" to dash towards the girl and when he reached her, *Crash* *Clang* the iron beams came crashing down on the two of them. Silence reign the air as everyone was shocked to see the girl die right before their eyes. The female Minotaur was balling her eyes out while some of them were trying to comfort her. However, when the dust began to settle, a Minotaur saw something and pointed towards the crash site saying, "Hey. Look. I think I see something."

Everyone looked back at the crash site and gasped. The female Minotaur who was crying heard the gasps and thought that the girl was dead. She then looked to see it for herself but what she saw made her gasp in disbelief.

There at the crash site, the girl was safe without even a scratch. How could she survive the iron beams that crashed on top of her? When the dust dissipated, they saw their answer. The very being that was walking with the guard was standing above the girl in a protective manner while the iron beams were resting on top of him and against his body. They saw that the being was not injured at all. Even after having that huge load of iron beams crashing on him, he was fine.

When Ash reached the girl, he stood above her and used "Tekkai" to harden his entire body. This is how he was able to stop the iron beams from hurting the little girl. He then look down at the girl who was hugging his leg with fear of dying. He smiled and said, "Hey little one. You're safe now. So, open your eyes and look around."

The girl heard his voice and opened her eyes slowly and gasped when she saw a large being was standing above her like a guardian and saved her life. The female Minotaur who was crying before, came running towards him and hugged the little girl and began to cry.

She said, "Oh my little pumpkin. I told you to stay close to me. What were you thinking going near a construction site?"

The little girl said, "I'm sorry, mommy. I was just curious about it." Oh. So the little one was her daughter. He became happy that he was able to save the life of a mother's joy.

While they were talking, Ash carefully pushed the iron beams away from him and onto the ground. When he was finished, the female Minotaur approached him and said, "I don't know who you are or what you are, but I just wanted to say .... thank you. Thank you so much for saving my daughter's life. I don't know what I would do if I had lost her." She hugged him and began to cry.

Ash hugged her gently and petted her head to calm her down. He said, "You don't have to thank me about it. It's what I do."

The mother calmed down and thanked him again. She then left with her daughter who waved him goodbye before leaving. The onlookers were still stuck in their position of starring at him with eyes full of disbelief and their jaws hitting the ground. Ash chuckled and walked back to his guard who was also staring at him with wide eyes and his jaw on the ground. Ash snapped his fingers in front of his face to bring the guard out of his shock. They then continued their walk and Ash saw that the guard was taking him towards a castle.

When they reached the castle's door, the two guards there stopped them and asked, "Halt! Who goes there?"

The guard escorting Ash spoke, "I am here with Sir Ash. The king is expecting him." Sir?

The door guards nodded and let them pass. After walking for a while, they finally reached the throne room. They walked into the throne room and saw King Iron Hoof having a conversation with an elder looking Minotaur.

The guard said, "My King. Sir Ash has arrived."

Iron Hoof and the elder Minotaur stopped talking and looked at Ash. Iron Hoof became happy and walked towards him and said, "Welcome Ash, to our beloved kingdom Minoros." He hugged Ash and said, "It's so good to see you again. You can't believe how much I am relieved that you are here now."

Ash also hugged him and said, "It's good to meet you again Iron Hoof."

They ended their hug and Ash said, "On my way here, I saw several corpses of both Minotaur and monsters. Was it a recent one?"

Iron Hoof nodded and said, "Yes. The recent monster attack was two days ago which gave me some time to go to the Gala. We have lost many of our warriors in that attack but I am glad I went to the Gala because I met you and you accepted my request. For that, I can't thank you enough."

Ash nodded and then looked at the elder Minotaur and asked, "And who is this elder one?"

Iron Hoof introduced him, "Ash. I would like you to meet my father, Great Steel."

Ash smiled and greeted him, "Hello. I am Ash. It's very nice to meet you."

Great Steel smiled and nodded his head, "It's nice to finally meet you too, Ash. My son here has been talking about you and said that you can help us with our monster problem. Is this true?" He asked with hope in his eyes.

Ash smiled and said, "That is very much true. I already had a run-in with them at Ponyville and killed them all."

Great Steel became happy and said, "Oh thank the creator! This city can now be saved from the monsters. We have lost many warriors in fending off the monsters and I don't want to lose anymore."

Iron Hoof smiled and said, "Ash will save our kingdom father. So you have no need to worry and rest you tired body. We will-"

He got cut off when a guard barged in and said, "My King! I have brought grave news!"

Iron Hoof said, "What is it?"

The guard was panicking a bit. Maybe whatever news he brought is making him nervous. He said, "The guards on the walls have spotted monsters coming from a great distance. However, this time it seems that they have brought an army."

Iron Hoof and Great Steel became stiff when they heard the news. An army of monsters is heading towards their kingdom. They began to panic about the army and thought how to deal with them.

Ash saw them panicking and said, "Iron Hoof. Great Steel. You have no need to fear. I am a monster hunter who is made for these kind of situations."

This calmed them for the moment. Ash then asked, "Iron Hoof. Can you gather your entire warriors at the city's gate?"

Iron hoof said, "I can gather them but what do you need them for?"

Ash said, "I will be fighting in the front lines. I want you to have your warriors to guard the city for any monsters who can sneak their way into the kingdom."

Iron Hoof nodded and looked at a guard and said, "I want you to escort my father to his room and guard him with your life."

The guard nodded and escorted Great Steel to his room. Great Steel looked back at Ash with Hope and said, "Please Ash. I beg of you. Please save our beloved kingdom and its citizens." With that, he went out of the room.

Iron Hoof began to gather all of his warriors at the city's entrance. Ash was also there and saw many of the Minotaur warriors. Some of them stood out from the rest, showing that they were stronger than the rest.

The last Minotaur was a mage that is able to cast spells. So they are also able to learn magic but it seems that only a few can. While Ash was looking over at the warriors, one arrogant Minotaur saw him and made his way towards him and said, "Who is this suppose to be? Only warriors like us are suppose to be here!" This gained the attention of everyone else.

Iron Hoof said, "Ah. General Bulk Head. I would like you to meet Ash. He has come all the way from Equestria to help us fight the monsters."

Everyone erupts into a small bout of murmurs. Bulk Head snorted with anger and said, "Then Tell him that we don't need any help from outsiders. We Minotaurs are the strongest warriors there is! We will deal with the monsters ourselves." The others agreed with him.

Iron Hoof narrowed his eyes and said, "I, myself have personally asked Ash for his help and he has accepted my request. And if you are talking about being the strongest warriors, then I am sorry to say that that title goes to Ash."

Bulk Head became angry and said, "Why do you side with this thing, my king? He is not a Minotaur and he does not look like a warrior at all."

Iron Hoof glared at him and said, "HE is my friend and is one of the most powerful warrior I have even met. If you doubt me, then why not test him out for yourself?"

Bulk Head snorted with anger and said, "Very well. I will see for myself if this thing is a warrior or a coward."

The others made space for Bulk Head to test out Ash. Others cheered for Bulk Head while Iron Hoof told Ash, "Please go easy on him." Ash nodded and simply stood on the spot.

Bulk Head immediately ran towards him and gave *Bash* a strong punch in his gut. He smiled that he hit the human and he looked up to see Ash's face in pain. However, his smile disappeared when he saw Ash was simply glaring at him. It was like he didn't feel Bulk Head's punch at all. He then began to hit the human more *Bash* Bash* *Bash* in his abdomen and even his face but Ash just stood there with his hands inside his coat's pocket and took the hit like it was nothing to him.

Bulk Head was getting tired and started to fear the human as he saw that his attacks were doing nothing to him. He needs to stop now or else things would go wrong but due to his pride, he didn't back down and chose to continue his attack. Bulk Head pulled out his massive battle hammer and with a powerful swung, *Clang* *Crunch* he struck the human in the face with it.

The others cringed at the sound of crushing while Bulk Head was smiling like he finally reached his life goal or something. However, his smile turned to shock at what he and the rest of the Minotaurs saw. It was not the human's face that was crushed but rather the hammer being crushed and flattened on his face. The flattened hammer fell on the ground with a *Thud* and everyone saw that the human's face wasn't even scratched.

Bulk Head was now trembling as fear started to course through his body. Ash glared at Bulk Head and said, "Is that all?"

Bulk Head began to back away from Ash with fear. He was now regretting to let his arrogance and pride control him like that. When he saw Ash taking a step forward, he got scared and turned around to run away for his life. He didn't care if he was seen as a coward in the eyes of the other Minotaurs, he just wanted to get away from here.

As soon as he was about to make a run, Bulk Head felt a hand grabbing his shoulder and stopped him. He looked back and was scared that it was none other than the human who stopped him from running away. Ash glared down at Bulk Head and said, "Is. That. All?"

Bulk Head could not say anything as fear overtook his body. His fear only grew when he saw the human raising his right hand above and curled them into a fist and then, his arm muscles bulged twice the size of his arm. He also began to see how big the human was getting and he felt really small to him.

Bulk Head began to beg, "Please stop. I have learned my lesson. There is no need to go on .. please .. no .. stop .. noooooo!"

Ash ignored his pleas and swung his right at Bulk Head's face and stopped a few cm away from his face. Due to the force he swung his arm, a wind pressure was released from his fist in every direction that shocked everyone.

Bulk Head was trembling with fear as he saw the human's fist stopping right in front of his face. Ash then pulled his fist back and glared at Bulk Head in the eyes and said, "If you want to talk about honor and pride, then do it on the battle field against the ones who want to kill or enslave this Kingdom's citizens."

Ash then jumped onto the Kingdom's wall and saw that a huge army of monsters was making their way towards this city. He used "Superhuman Vision" to get a closer looked at the incoming army of monsters he is going to fight soon. He saw three types of monsters that he already fought.

Satyrs

Cthulhu

Cyclops

Then he saw some Monsters that looked like Minotaurs or they were Minotaurs, at least that is what they looked like to him. The first batch of monsters were about a 8 foot tall Minotaurs who had several cuts on their bodies. They also had some wooden stakes impaled on their backs which by all accounts, it should have killed them but were still moving. Their teeth were pointing outwards and were very sharp. These one looked like they were brought back to life and turned into a zombie. He named them Undead Minotaurs.

The next batch of monsters were like the Cthulhu but instead of bulky body, they were slim. Another difference was that their eyes were glowing yellow. Ash looked closer and saw that these 8 foot tall slim Cthulhus were waving their scrawny arms around that made the Undead Minotaurs move about. So they are controlling the reanimated Minotaurs. He named them Mind Flayer.

The next batch of Minotaurs were 9 foot tall but they had razor sharp claws and their horns were long and sharp that looks like it could impale others with ease. He named them Blade Horn.

Behind the monsters, Ash saw some huge Minotaurs at the size of 30 feet. They had no eyes and held a massive spike mace. It also had very sharp looking horns. He named them Goliath.

Ash then saw a larger unique Minotaur that was at least 12 feet tall. He had a shield gauntlet on his left arm and held a huge spear like weapon in his right hand. He had spike shoulder guards and had white horns and hairs. Since he looked like a general for the monsters, he will name him as the Unknown General for now.

Ash saw another unique Minotaur at 13 foot tall. This one was wearing battle armor and held a great battle axe that had some red aura coming out if it. He also saw that there were some red runes present on this Minotaur's horns. His eyes were also red. He looks like the leader to this army. For now he named him as the Unknown Leader.

Around the Unknown Leader, there were several creatures that looked like Minotaurs but had wood in place of their skin. They also had razor sharp teeth and claws. They looked like they were crossed between a Minotaur and a Timber Wolf. He named them TimberTaur.

As Ash was looking at the massive army of monsters and Minotaurs, Iron Hoof and some of the generals came to his side and gasped at what they saw. Maybe seeing that some of his own Minotaurs betrayed him and joined the monsters.

The monster's army stopped a good distance away from the kingdom. Then the Unknown General and Unknown Leader came forward and stopped in front of the city's entrance.

Unknown Leader said with a smug expression, "Well look who is here to greet us Beast Master."

Unknown General who is now identified as Beast Master said with a chuckle, "Indeed. I thought that he would have been dead by now."

Iron Hoof shouted, "Enough! Tell me brother, why have you betrayed me!? Your friends!? Your Kingdom!?" That one is Iron Hoof's brother!??

Unknown Leader scoffed and said, "I am no brother of yours Iron Hoof! I have forsaken my old name and gained unimaginable powers! I am now called Karn The Destroyer!!!"

A guard shouted, "How dare you cut your loyalty to the King!!"

Karn laughed and said, "Loyalty!? Ha! My loyalty lies with the master of these monsters. He has given me an army so I can and will conquer this pathetic kingdom. After I'll kill Iron Hoof and end his bloodline, I will take the throne and become the ruler of Minoros!!! Ha hahahahahaha!!!"

Iron Hoof became angry and said, "You may have an army of monsters Karn and you may be stronger than them, but know this that every citizen, guard, warrior and even myself will not go down easily!! We will fight to the end and take as many of your monsters with us to the afterlife!!!" The other warriors began to cheer for the king.

Karn scowled and said, "We shall see who prevails at the end. And that would be me." He and Beast Master then returned back to the army of monsters and began preparing for the assault on the kingdom.

Iron Hoof gave orders to the warriors to prepare against the monsters. Archers took their places on the walls and warriors took place at the entrance. They all were preparing themselves against the monsters attack but this time they face an army. However, they failed to notice that they have an army of their own or more specifically, an army of one, Ash.
