Dreams are like the flow of water. It sometimes can be as soft as a lake. On other times the water could flow in one direction with order guiding it in the form of a river. On some days... The Water may flow like chaos itself, crashing into another and only trying to achieve what it wants with force like a hurricane.

Water and Dreams are so similar to even the most gentle puddle sometimes can turn into the most chaotic and dangerous tsunami the world has ever witnessed. Dreams, no matter what kind, can turn into a nightmare no Pony has ever seen and it sometimes can even affect our physical body and Mind.

Twist and turns, keys and locks, riddles and answers, they all were completely different things that all are the same in one way or another. In Mathael eyes, they were all the same at the moment as they all have one thing in common, a single way or making even him crumble, Answers.

Our Proganost was sleeping restlessly as he rolled from side to side as his he felt like as if he did something that his very being rejected, but why? Why would he think this way? He opened his mind and told her what plagued him, something that should normally help any heart heal and yet, it felt so alien

This feeling of safety, happiness and ... peace? Did he really drown in the puddle of despair for so long that he felt normal being in it to think that this was the way of living? Mathael knew that he had to do the steps to normality, but was this what he wanted?

From the day of his birth to the second he corrupted, the moment of his freedom till now and the hour of his judgment, he knew that he was far from normal. There were many terms that could describe him very good, yet not a single one could exactly tell what he really was.

Monster
Abomination
Murderer
Thief
Destroyer
Demon

All those words only scrapped on the crust of what he really was, but what was he in his own eyes? In his own eyes, Mathael was... what am I ... This was the only question he could never answer. He bested the smartest Masterminds of the creation, no one could ask him a question he couldn't answer nor was there a question which answers someone could tell that he couldn't, besides this single one, who was he?

This one question haunted him through the night in a desperate battle to sleep so he could free himself from the boundaries of reality for just a few sweet hours, to believe that there was only happiness out there instead of the cold and painful reality that the might nothing one day.

Our Protagonist groaned as he gave up the battle for sleep and looked at the ceiling with his tired eyes. He looked around the room and saw only the blackness of darkness. He didn*t bother to use his powers to his advantage and saw the eyes of a normal being.

The walls were decorated with beautiful wallpapers, inspired by the work of the most talented artists the mortal worlds have ever seen. He let his eyes wander to his right and saw a sleeping Thestal, Captain Darkness Bloodheart. She was one of the biggest mysteries he has ever seen.

Why would someone want to be with him, a being that not even he could describe? It wasn't for power, money, fame or even the most foolish excuse of many dumb actions the creation has ever seen, an order. No, she loved him because... because... he saved her? No, there was no love when he saved her, maybe because he healed her? that still wasn't it. There was the thought that lingered in his mind that she did it for her own gains, yes he gave her presents no normal mortal could ever wish for, things that were mostly useless in his eyes and she knew that.

Another question was why he was with her? Did he become so desperate to have some company that he looked for the next best creature? No, he declined that though in an instant. The reason was that she gave him something that he desired more than any power or knowledge could ever give him.

Happiness
to live
Love...

Darkness may not know it, but this relationship was very one sided as he received more than he could ever give. The feeling of being alive, the joy of the simplest things. She taught him the ways of being alive. Darkness also radiated something no other being gave him in a long time.

The gentle smile on her lips, the happiness to never fall into despair, the way she moved with energy and often for no reason. The things reminded him of a time where things were simple, the memories in which he was weak, yet happy. It all reminded him of his family...

Mathael sighed as he rubbed his eyes in tiredness before looking to his left an seeing an old-fashioned clock 3:00. He groaned silently as he realized just how early it was and yet he felt like climbing into the bed wouldn't do anything to ease his mood nor did he want to continue his sleep.

He slowly moved into a sitting position before careful standing up to his full height. He gave his sleeping princess one last look before silently walking out of the room to the bathroom as he knew that today was the day of the Grand Galloping Gala aka. The great snob contest.

Once he reached the bathroom, the door opened with a quiet *click* sound before entering and closing it afterward. He let his eyes wander around the room before taking the first step towards the mirror as he already suspected to see a mix between a really messy Stallion and the edginess itself.

Taking slow steps to the mirror he awaited to his see his face and he did, but he saw one slight change that thrust pure terror into his heart. He took one step after another back in fear as memories flooded his mind. He slowly lifted his hand as he tried to maneuver his mind through his visions. Slowly he lifted his hands till he reached just a few inches above his head and broke off the tip of his horn and

*Crack*

He didn't feel pain nor remorse, but relive as he broke off a rather long piece of his horn. Mathael slowly brought the piece of keratin in front of his eyes and saw a rainbow-colored horn in front of his eyes. The horn looked like it was made from light and crystal itself and brought memories back. These memories were not sad or terrifying one, no, they were happy.

He held a small reminder of his time of innocence in front of his eyes that slowly watered from the sight, he stood there for a few seconds before clenching his eyes and teeth hard and *Crack* crushed the present of the past to dust before absorbing it.

Mathael slowly opened his eyes that burned with pure rage so much that even his psionic levels jumped to extreme levels and even his eyes glowed in a deep blood red color.

'No! That Mathael is dead and he will never return no matter what! *Sigh* Things will never be the same after that day, but I can't weep after the past forever, but I will never forget them.' thought Mathael

If you love me or anyone who is gone, you let them go, but you will never forget who they were and always remember what made them Special to you

A small trail of blood leaked his eyes and rolled down his cheek as he suddenly felt a sharp pain for a second till it was gone, but what was that? He saw a weird white light and a female human for a second before disappearing again. It wasn't important at the moment as he had better plans at the moments.

He wiped the blood away with his hand in a fast motion and walk to the bathtub to make him less of a target of the all badmouthing nobles. He didn't really need to bath as magic could do the job with just one snap or he could let his virus just make his hair and skin fall off and recreate it thus achieving the best-looking material to both touches and look in terms of a coat. Our Protagonist just liked to do something the normal way once in a while

Once he reached the tub he snapped his fingers to change the water into a liquid that could probably even reverse aging for a few hours and would make his coat look good. He slowly took off his clothes and sighed as his muscles were free again from his tie. The process of keeping them under control became harder and harder the stronger he became.

He sighed in pleasure as he slowly dipped his feet into the water. It felt like a bliss so he let his entire body submerge into the rejuvenating liquid. Mathael smiled as he enjoyed every second of it and found a way to kill of the next hour or so. He quickly regenerated his horn and used a spell that would allow him to breathe underwater.

He slowly submerged into the water and closed his eyes as the relaxing feeling was calming his nerves rather well. Mathael could feel that his mind was slowly falling asleep and he licked it as the sweet realm of dreams would finally let his spirit rest.

???

Nothing

Mathael was confused as he didn't recognize where he was. It wasn't his void nor was this a realm of the Corruption as he clearly saw colors. He began to wander around the endless void for a few moments till he saw a light at the horizon or whatever that was far away.

He began to run towards the light that slowly grew with each step he took till he saw something unexpected ... a big tv? Suddenly the machine showed something weird. He saw many humans on a convention, but what was in focus confused him.

He saw a cloaked figure that was talking to someone. The Merchant? On the other side of him where a human with a pretty pale skin, brown hair, a business suit and a suitcase. The two of them talked and the Merchant showed the human a glowing ball of light before taking his suitcase and slamming it upon the customer's head.

'Why am I seeing this?' thought Mathael

Suddenly a portal opened through which the human fell. Mathael walked to the hole and looked down, so did the Merchant who dashed with hast in front of his little shop. He had a shocked expression that could even be seen through his disguise.

The Merchant said."Oh oh... It seems like that he won't survive this much power... oh well, not my problem..." he turned around to suddenly see another cloaked being that mostly blurred for him. Our Protagonist tried to see this mysterious creature, but it had no avail.

The creature spoke in a tone that was so neutral that even Mathael couldn't copy it. he said."I don't want to disappoint you, but I doubt that is even possible anymore considering that he has already breached the interdimensional gate. Ignoring the problem would just cause more problems."

The Merchant asked."So... What are we going to do?"

The Mysterious creature spoke."The being is already dead, but it doesn't mean gone. We could still give it another try. Possibly a new beginning."

The Merchant raised an eyebrow and asked."And who would take an amalgamation of so many powers?"

The Mysterious creature spoked."We could still cut a few powers to make it possible. As for who will take care... I heard that there were a couple of two of the unlikeliest creatures that want another child, I believe the two races are called Demons and Angels."

The Merchant nodded and said."Fine... boss..." The Mysterious Creature did a mimic in the facial area and Mathael could see two long sticks crossing. The Merchant added."Fine. It shall be done, boss of everything and keeper of stories."

The Mysterious creature waved a blur that looked like a stick around and suddenly the scenery changed. They were now in a black void with a mass that was colored in all known colors.

The Mysterious creature said."It is done. Merchant, please displace your Customer, but this time to said location."

The Merchant said."I have never done this before, but I'll try my best."

The Merchant's hands glowed for a second before the orb of colors shrunk to the size of a pinpoint and vanished. The Scenery changed again and it showed...

Mathael closed his eyes in embarrassment as he saw his parents sleeping together peacefully. Suddenly the small dot of colors floated softly towards his former mother. The dot then landed on her belly before phasing though. He was shocked at what he was seeing. He didn't understand it, no, he just didn't want to and yet he was keen to find out more.

Mathael watched the scenery that was pushed forward at a very fast speed as he saw his entire life. He saw how he hatched, his childhood and all his most important memories till that forsaken day, but thankfully the screen went white before it could show the terror again.

The screen turned on again, but this time he saw his old master, Zenyatta, talking with the Mysterious Creature.

Master Zenyatta said."Is this really the way we should proceed? You are about to alter his memories with a high chance that he will remember everything that you would try and lock away."

The Mysterious Creature said."I dislike this outcome as well, but my pupil is bound to the rule of displacement and not following them could cause even bigger problems for Mathael. Do not misunderstand me Zenyatta. I would rather choose a different path as well, but If I don't do this than his memories will bleed into another thus turning him into a broken creature and I will prevent this even if I have to interfere into the multiverse myself. I have no other choice and can only hope that Mathael will accept the destiny that will be put on him or I fear that you and all other lives will be lost in this Universe. "

Master Zenyatta slowly nodded and said."Very well... I shall tell him to find the Merchant to seek out his destiny, but what will happen once he is on the other side."

The Mysterious Creature answered."Once my Pupil has displaced him, he will think that he has just been displaced with no memories of his real past, but he might remember his history as a product of either discomfort of his past tense from many years ago or if he tries to come up with a new background story then he might achieve the same outcome..."

Suddenly the screen went white again before showing a clip that was only a few minutes long. It was the moment he landed on Equus.

Mathael's stood there speechless as he watched the screen turn off thus leaving him in darkness. His entire world has been turned upside down, but after a few seconds he realized one thing... if Faust wasn't lying then this happened to every Creature 'thank' to Shinigami the god of death, but it was still shocking to the core.

Suddenly a voice spoke from behind him."Are you angry?"

Mathael turned around and still just saw a blur where the Mysterious Creature stood. He replied."...No...I'm not..."

The Mysterious Creature looked at Mathael for a few moments before asking."Why?"

Mathael smiled and said."You may be responsible for my suffering, but without you, I'd be dead. So no, I am not angry, but thankful even if many had to suffer for it."

The Mysterious Creature spoke."Very well, I wish you a good day Mathael, we will meet again one day." The Mysterious Creature then began to slowly turn transparent. Suddenly Mathael remembered that he forgot to ask something.

Mathael asked."Wait! Who are you and what is your name!" but it was too late as the Creature was already gone. He stared at the place where the being stood while Mathael pouted in annoyance. Our Protagonist then waited for something to happen like waking up, but nothing came.

He waited for a few moments till he suddenly saw two blue hands trying to grasp around himself, but he was faster and used "Body of Effulgent Beryl"

The Body of Effulgent Beryl.
The Body of Effulgent Beryl is a 10th tier Spell that reduced the effectiveness of bludgeoning attacks against its subject while it was in effect, and it could completely negate one instance of bludgeoning damage after it was cast.

Mathael phased through the blue hands and instantly turned around to use his Sans Power to created three Gaster Blasters that all pointed at... Luna? Mathael was surprised to see her in a place like this, but what shocked him more was that her eyes were red and her makeup was smudged on her cheeks.

She said in a sad tone."Mathael, I was so worried that something happened to you!" and apparently royal voice...

Mathael raised an eyebrow and asked."Why were you worried about me? I can handle myself."

Luna said."I saw Darknesses dreams about your conversation with her and when you suddenly vanished from the dreamscape I was worried that you... you..."

Mathael calmy said."Yes...?"

Luna forced her words out and said."We, I was scared that you might have been turned into something... else..."

Mathael asked."Why were you thinking about that? I am a grown Stallion and something as small as that isn't hurting me too much"

Luna answered."I saw that you are less social than a normal Stallion and thought that have a grudge against Ponies..."

Mathael said."Luna... I am not a normal Pony, in fact, I am not even a Pony at all. I am a Nephalem with the body of a Stallion and what do you mean with 'less social'?"

Luna answered."It doesn't matter. Ponies are a very social species and even foals require five to ten hugs a day."

Mathael snorted and said."I haven't had something like that in over a decade."

Luna asked in a curious tone."But how is that possible. If a Pony experience revises too less of it or witnessed a heartbreaking even than they turn grey or even darker to only fully lose what they once were."

Mathael's eyes widened and his mouth formed an 'o' as he realized what was happening. He answered."Okay... Maybe I the whole turning dark thing is happening to me over many years which means I will even be less social to keep it that way."

Luna stared at Mathael with wide open eyes and asked."Why... Why would you want to stay like this and not like, like a-." Mathael cut her off

Our Protagonist said."Luna, I know you want the best for me, but the Mathael from all those years ago is dead and he will stay so forever. I have no interest in becoming ''normal' because that's not me. One more thing, catch." Mathael threw Luna small back at her which she just barely caught

Luna stood in shock there as she didn't expect this kind of answer. She hoped for a talk about his feelings or something along those lines, but this was completely unexpected and what was so special about this bag that he would give it to her now? Suddenly the everything started to turn white which meant that he was waking up, but she still had so many questions...

Princess Luna's Bedchamber

Princess Luna woke up in shock and looked like if she saw something really bad. She instantly stood up and wanted to talk with her sister, but when she threw off her blanked she heard something hit the ground.

*Thud*

The Princess of the night pulled the cover away and saw the same small bag on the ground she saw in the dreamscape, but how was this possible? She didn't care at that moment and grabbed the small bag and opened, but what she saw completely shocked her.

Inside the bag was a rainbow-colored horn that looked like it was made from a glowing Crystal, but Luna knew exactly what this was. It was from Mathael, but not as a gift, but to show that he doesn't want to return to his normal state. Every other Pony would have screamed, but Luna knew of Mathews powers to regenerate any wound like for example a small piece of his reformed self. She guessed that it was created after Mathael shed his first tear after talking to other about his problems.

'I know that he doesn't want it, but I will not give up so easily. I will reform Mathael even if it's the last thing I'll do! thought Luna with determination as she walked to the door to only turn back again towards the bedroom as she remembered how she looked at the moment.

Mathael's POV

Mathael slowly opened his eyes and rose his head till his entire head was above the water. He sighed as he just realized a few things. A) the vision showed him his previous lives, yes more than one and they all had one thing in common... none of them had a happy end.

'Great... just great...' thought Mathael in annoyance and a bit of despair.

And B), he probably just earned him a long talk with Luna and possibly the Elements and Celestia about his mental state... They will never get me in an asylum for socially and or mentally unstable ponies... Never!

*Bash*

Mathael slammed the back of his against the edge of the tub with 'normal' force to not cause a flood in his home. He wished that he could just sit there and forget about his troubles, but he knew that he couldn't... or could he?... Nah, Darkness would be angry if she found out that I hid in the bathroom so that I could evade the Gala.

With a frown, he rose to his full height and gazed upon his fur and it looked pretty bright... Mathael's eyes widened as he saw how his black color slowly melt away and leave a grey tone. In a second, Mathael thought about his coat color to turn back and it did.

'I'm getting better with my reality warping powers, but why is my color leaving my fur?!?!?' thought Mathael

Suddenly Mathael heard a familiar voice in his head.'Your black 'color' are the stains of corruption, a mere discoloration from the Corruption you have been exposed to.'

Mathael said telepathically.'First, Why are you only showing up now, no how are you alive and why is are 'stains' only leaving now or at all?!'

Erebus said telepathically.'I am only showing up now because you have earned the mark of the darkness only a short time ago. To answer your second question, I never really died, I merely became one with the element of darkness. And to answer your last question, the stains will remove themselves as long as you are near positive emotions such a telling something what has been on your heart for a long time, but here is one advice, do not try to hinder the progress as the stains weaken your powers tremendously!'

Mathael asked psionically.'What do you mean with that??? *Silents...* Wow, you just leave me behind with more questions... Great...' Mathael was not happy about this.

He used his reality warping powers to collect the sample of the stain and one look was already enough to tell that this substance was far more than black color. He stored it for safety reasons in his pocket dimension. After that was done, he used his magic one more time to create a many brushed and some parfüme that came alive and instantly made him look like a 'gentlecolt'.

Yes, he could've used his powers or just let his virus do the dirty work, but the feeling of accomplishment, even if he almost has done nothing, was still nice. Now that he was done, he summoned his tuxedo again but decided to use a different design for it as for some reason this suit one of the few pieces of clothing that he actually likes, besides his beloved top hat of course.

With one last look into a mirror he created, he exited the bathroom with a small forced smile on his face as he knew that this day would only get better (Warning! This sentence contained deadly amounts of sarcasm!) After he was done with making himself look good, he walked into the kitchen and a bit of his magic to bring the cooking utensils to live and created some delicious ingredients form TGW while he waited for Darkness to awake.

Darkness POV

Darkness slowly opened her eyes as she just has awoken from her sleep and could already smell breakfast. She smiled as she slowly rose to her full height, but her happiness instantly disappeared when she remembered the last night. She felt very sorry for Mathael and could only hope that his scars would heal over time.

Darkness pushed the sappy thought and walked towards the kitchen even though her worries didn't want to disappear. Once she reached the kitchen she instantly froze in shock as she saw that the cooking utensils were alive and made... breakfast?

Back to Mathael

Mathael raised an eyebrow at the sight of a shocked Darkness even though he was more surprised that she wasn't already used to the fact that if you thought with logic in his presence than you would most likely go made as if you would spend an afternoon with Discord... oh, he would soon return which means I get the chance to meet my favorite villain from the show! Let's just hope that he isn't going to be too 'funny' or Equestria will be covered in 'ketchup'...

Our Protagonist shocked his head before saying."Good morning Darkness~."

Darkness rejoined the story and said."G-good morning Mathael... Care to tell me why the Cutlery is alive?"

Mathael smiled and said."I merely tried a new trick of mine."

Darkness nodded and asked him a question as her smile fell."Do you feel better Mathael?"

Mathael smiled and said."A bit."

Darkness narrowed at him and said."You're lying"

Mathael's expression didn't change, but his thoughts weren't as happy as he looked.'Crap...'

Darkness sighed and sat beside him, she then said."Mathael, why aren't you trying to avoid this? We only want to help you."

Mathael's eyebrow instantly shot shoot the furthest point on his forehead as it could. He asked."'We' as in more than one?"

Darkness put on a fake smile and said a bit unsure."Princess Luna was worried about you and asked if something was wrong. One thing leads to another, and now she wants Celestia, Me and herself to talk about your problem with you."

Mathael sighed and looked her in the eyes and said."No, but thank you."

Darkness was completely thrown out of her rhythm as she heard this and asked."What? But why? Why do you want to stay gray?"

Mathael massaged his nose bridge and said."I am not, greyed out. It's nothing, you don't have to worry about it..."

Darkness look turned sad and she said."You're scared."

Mathael's eyes shoot open as he said."How?"

Darkness sighed and said."I know that you are not used to receiving help, but you can't escape this alone or you might turn evil one day."

Mathael narrowed at Darkness with two red glowing doth and a fletched his teeth. He instantly stopped his expression as he saw fear in Darknesses eyes and said."I am.. Sorry... It's just that you hit a sore spot."

Darkness leaned against his side with a bit of sadness in her eyes and said."No, I am sorry, I shouldn't have said this"

With their thought told, the two of them waited a few moments till their breakfast came delivered in form of plates with miniature legs. which caused Darkness to chuckle a little from seeing just how funny it walked. After the two of them ate their breakfast our favorite couple made their way towards Rarity's boutique to look for a dress for Darkness. He hoped that she wouldn't be too angry wearing a dress as she really disliked this kind of clothing.

As the two of them were walking through Ponyville, they spotted Spike coming out of a store.

Mathael approached Spike first and said."Greeting Spike, how is your day so far?"

Spike waved and said"Hi Mathael. Hi Darkness. I'm just getting some supplies for Twilight. What are you doing here? Want to buy something from this store?"

Mathael said."No, I just want to get a dress for Darkness for the Gala."

Darkness said."Do I have to wear a dress?"

Mathael replied."I am not going to let you walk in armor and you'll only make yourself a target of bad mouthing if you come to the Gala."

Darkness gave in and said."Fine..." Our Protagonist could tell that Darkness wasn't happy so he decided to cheer her up by scratching behind her ears which made her purr a little.

Mathael turned to Spike again and asked with a small grin."So. How are your three lovelies doing Spike?"

Spike whole face blushed and said, "They are ... doing fine. I mean that ... they .. and me .. and ... "

Mathael chuckled from the response and said."No worries Pal. I just wanted to know o tease you a little, but you don't' have to worry as long as you love them and they love you."

Spike calmed down and said, "Yeah. That's true. I love them. I have been spending some time with them and we have got closer than ever that they even gave me a kiss." He blushed at the end.

Mathael smiled, but remembered that Asura warned Spike about not getting 'funny' so he would do the same."I am happy for you happiness, but.." his smile fell and his eyes suddenly only showed seriousness."As much as I love to see you happy, I shall give you one advice if you want to not have me as an enemy. Do not force them to anything they don't want no matter what..."

Spike was sweating bullets as he was slowly being consumed by fear as he tried his best to force out words."I w-would never h-harm them. I love t-them them with a-all my heart a-and would protect them with my l-life. I Pinkie promise."

Mathael smiled again and said."Sorry that I had to be so hard on you, but I rather tell you in advance before something happens, not that I would suspect you doing something so disgusting."

Spike calmed down and didn't mind it when he explained it to him. True, he has seen some stallions act like they own the mares and he hated that. He said, "It's okay Mathael. You did the right thing. I love the girls and I don't want to become like other stallions."

Darkness asked with a smile."So... when have you planned to go on a date with them?"

Mathael thought for a bit and said, "Why not bring them to the Gala and have your date there?"

Spike goes wide eyes when he heard this and said, "That Gala!? But that is a party for nobles and leaders to join it. How can I go with my marefriends there?"

Mathael smiled and said, "Simple. You and the fillies come with me. You enjoy your time with the fillies there and don't let anything the nobles said there to get to you. You alone have the right to choose what you do and don't do as long you don't hurt anyone of course."

Suddenly a black Aura grew around Mathael and Spike, who was a bit scared, could have sworn heard an intimate music in the background. Mathael said."And if anyone dares to badmouth or even touch a hair of you or you marefriends then I'll bury them 100 feet below the ground." Mathael aura and the music vanished after he was done with his monologue.

Spike said."I don't know if I should be scared or happy."

Mathael patted Spike's head and said."It's better to be loved than feared, but It's best if you are loved and feared."

Spike nodded and said."Thanks for the help."

Mathael said."Spike, you are my friend and I'll do anything to keep my friends happy and safe and make sure that anyone who hurts them will regret it."

Mathael was about to say goodbye to Spike, but then Darkness said."I almost forgot, the Princesses wanted us to come earlier to help with the preparations."

Mathael's smile fell as he knew why they wanted him to be there earlier. He said with a smile that hid his slight frustration."But of course. Spike, would you be kind enough to tell the girls to meet at Rarity's home and that they shouldn't wait for Darkness and Me?" Spike nodded and walked away.

Afterward, Mathael wrote many invitations, by creating many living pens for, all of his friends to come to the Gala and even specifically told them on the letters that he would make everyone one, noble or not, pay if they even made a comment about them. He also mentioned in the letter that they should all meet at Rarity's home as he already knew how they all would get to the Gala. He then used his Dragons DNA ignite the letter before the ashes flew toward in all direction. He even wrote one for Thunder Spark and Stary Swirl.

Mathael sighed and said."Shall we?"

Darkness nodded. On Mathael's faces grew a small smile and he said."Good, but how about you try the spell? See it as a bit of training."

Darkness gulped before thinking for a few moments and said."Gate?" Suddenly a swirling vortex appeared a few feet in front of them. Mathael held Darknesses hand before the two of them entered the portal.

???

*Thud*

Darkness and Mathael groaned as the two of them hit the ground after falling off from the portal that was 3 feet in the air. Mathael stood up but quickly noticed that something was wrong. His clothes suddenly were too big for him, oh and the fact that he was a four-legged pony again.

'Darkness didn't think of the safety rune in the spell matric of the portal spell that protects the user from the transformation into one of Its inhabitants.' thought Mathael

Darkness asked."M-Mathael? What is going on...?"

Mathael chuckled as he stood on four legs, hoofs? again. he said."It seems like someone didn't think the spell properly through, but no need to freed. This is just a bit of practice."

Mathael tried to stand up but fell on her belly again. she said."Mathael, we have to go to the Gala or we will be late!"

Mathael used a bit of his power to cheek the time-flow of this dimension and it was extremely slow. One thousand years here are a second in their world. Mathael said."Darkness, the time-flow is different from world to world and this one is really slow. We could spend here a million years and maybe an hour would pass. Come on, my interdimensional trolling Sprees are fun!"

Darkness was surprised that Mathael would do something every normal Pony would do if they could, thinking about it, she could have sworn she saw how his horn looked more colorful this night was he losing his disharmony? besides, it could be fun so she decided to play along.

Darkness said."Ok, but on two conditions. One, you'll help me up and two, you will talk with the Princess about your problems."

Mathael sighed and said."Fine..."

Mathael walked towards Darkness and used his head (literally) to lift Darkness up so that she at least could stand, but it also caused her to blush from the alien feeling of her new temporarily body. Once she stood one four legs... she fell down again to just be caught again. It took her almost 15 tries before she could stand and make baby steps? Foal steps?

Darkness said."I-I think I did it!" Darkness was currently walking with the speed of old granny smith but learned how to walk normally pretty fast even though she did have problems walking over rocks a few times. After she managed to walk on their own, the two of them began to travel towards the nearest village. How did Mathael know where it was? Simple, he used his "Echolocation" to find the nearest structures.

Darkness asked on the way."Mathael?"

Mathael looked down at Darkness (In a literal way and not in the Snob way) and said with a smile."Yes? What do you have on your heart dear."

Darkness asked."Why did we have to put our clothes in that portal? And why are you so big?"

Mathael smiled and said."In this world, Ponies don't really wear clothes and as of why I am so big, I am an alicorn and they are just twice the size here as normal ponies."

Darkness said."Ok, but you are almost thrice my size!"

Mathael chuckled and said."I am just a really big Stallion and it has some advantages." Darkness was about to ask why, but he was faster and levitate her with his magic on his soft and comfortable fur.

She said."Ooh, you are so soft~" Darkness rested her head on his neck and was enjoying every second of it as this was much more comfortable than even a cloud. He was thrown out of her relaxed state as she and Mathael heard a loud growl. She could feel Mathael's magic around her as he dashed with extreme speed forward.

Outskirt of Ponyville

Ponyville was known for not being the quietest village, in fact, it was the place where the weirdest things happened, but today it reached a new low as it was attacked by the monsters of the Everfree, but something was odd. The beats were all infected with some kind of purple goo. The Monsters were lead by a mare who was covered with many purple lines that traveled along her grey coat and her red hair. The oddest thing about her was her slightly purple glowing eyes and her purple horn.

Mathael saw everything happen. in front of his eyes, the Ponies got destroyed and not even the guards that were continuously flying towards the action could do only little against the attacker. He could even see how the elements and the Princess were exhausted from just trying to hurt a single infected timberwolf.

Mathael used his magic and laid Darkness carefully on the ground and said."Enjoy the show."

Darkness chuckled and said."This wakes memories."

Mathael smiled and nodded. He was about to jump into the action but remembered that he would probably cause panic by showing his alicorn traits so he used his brain that held the knowledge of so many worlds in it and created a... grey mantle and put it on...

After making sure that his wings were invisible and his mantle was tight and indestructible, he used Hair Sensor and Echolocation to mark all of his enemies. to see what he will be fighting.

Corrupted Timberwolf?

Corrupted Manticore?

Corrupted Chimera?

Mathael quickly realized that counting them was futile as the summoner was somehow summoning more of them... oh those creatures aren't corrupted animals, but nightmares. He remembered that Faust told him that the Corruption uses nightmares, but it wasn't anything scary for him as he could feel how weak these abominations were, at least in comparison to him. The leader, on the other hand, was a follower of the Corruption, not a slave, he knew this as he could feel no influence of the Corruption that clouded her mind.

Renamed all those creatures above with

Nightmare Timberwolf?

Nightmare Manticore?

Nightmare Chimera?

Corrupted Unicorn

To describe the nightmares best would be this way. All the creatures colors were replaced with grey, their eyes glowed purple which identified them as the followers and slaves of the Corruption. Their entire bodies were covered in these purple lines and their claws were colored in a slightly darker purple, but they were just made of negative emotions and not Crystalized Darkness.

The Corrupted Unicorn was a mare who was covered with many purple lines that traveled along her grey coat and her red hair. The oddest thing about her was her slightly purple glowing eyes and her purple horn. She was probably just a pony who was easily deceived or evil... what he doesn't know everything!

After everything has been thought through, he summoned his deadly gentleman by having a wave of black flames wash over his hoof and to his surprise it stuck to his hoof... oh right, Cartoon logic. With a nod of satisfaction, he used Blink to suddenly disappear.

Blink
Blink is a power that allows Mathael to teleport with extreme speed between two spots as long as the distance isn't too great.

Celestia has fought many battles in her long life against the Griffins, the minotaurs and against villains like Queen Umbra and Eris, but she has never seen a fight that was so one-sided against her. The most shocking thing though was against who she fought. He opponent was once a guard called Cold Breeze.

She was thrown out of the royal guard after she and her lover tried to flee Equestria as the two of them didn't want to have a hearing which was a rule in her kingdom as Stallions were very rare. She was caught and as a punishment she was wasn't allowed to go anywhere near him. She knew that it was a bad idea, but she was forced to as the population was decreasing too fast. Sadly the Stallion didn't enter nor form a herd afterward.

Cold Breeze said."Who do you think you are, Celestia! You are no god that can play with us like you want to!" Cold Breeze shot a bold of magic at Celestia who was too tired to conjure a shield.

Celestia closed her eyes, but the pain never came. She opened her eyes that instantly widened at the sight of a Stallion with a sword that blocked the hit instead of thanking him she said."What are you doing! It's not safe for a Stallion to be here! Your Mare must be worried about your well being."

Mathael chuckled and turned around to look Celestia in the face with a smile. He answered."No need to worry, she is watching."

Celestia's eyes were filled with rage as she heard this. A Mare who encourages Stallions to fight! She asked."Who is that Mare! She will face a punishment for this."

Mathael's happiness evaporated as his eyes ignited with a red light. He said in an intimidating voice."If you even touch her then I shall burn everything you love!." his voice turned to normal again as a smile could be seen again. he added."Besides, this is fun!"

Celestia was shocked to hear this. Every Stallion would be scared and helpless but his Male was more than eager to fight? Now she has seen everything.

Play this song during this battle

Mathael used Templar Charge to run with extreme speed towards the first group of Timberwolves. The impact alone with these abominations alone was enough to shatter the entire pack. All Mare's eyes bulged and their jaws hit the ground as they saw this.

Templar Charge
An upgraded version of Charge that allows Mathael to charge the nearest enemy with such force and speed that it cause massive AOE impact damage.

Mathael smirked and was about to say something, but Erebus words came out of his mouth."Followers of the Corruption, fear the wrath of the darkness" The Mares couldn't believe what they were seeing. A Stallion who claimed to be able to use dark magic.

Suddenly a wave of black flames washed over his Deadly Gentlemen as he switched to Eternal Justice. Mathael smiled and slammed his weapon into the ground and screamed."Wave of Spikes: Light magic".

Suddenly the entire street was covered in a big shadow which confused everyone, but their confusion lived short as suddenly a wave of Black Spikes shot out of the ground and impaled the monsters in the path with ease, but it surprised the Ponies that A) the impaled monsters glowed for a second before exploding into yellow orbs that fell to the ground and B) That this Stallion was so powerful and could wield holy and dark magic which was impossible as the two powers normally would negate the other.

Mathael said out loud."Tell me what are you fighting?"

Cold Breeze asked with rage."Why do you care?!"

Mathael chuckled darkly as a dark aura of pure power formed around him that was so big that it touched the clouds. Mathael said out loud."Because I want to know If I should just kill you or not as you don't stand a chance against me."

Cold Breeze said."Lies! But I admit, you are strong, how about you join me?"

Mathael looked at her with a bored expression and said."No, but thank you."

Cold Breeze had enough and screamed."Then die!!!" Suddenly all of the monster's eyes were at him and charged at out Protagonist.

A nightmare manticore was the first one to reach Mathael. The Beast jumped on Its hind legs and swiped him with both of Its claws, but Mathael blocked both paws with just one hoof without any trouble. Everyone was questioning their state of being awake as this was insane. Not even the Princesses had that much muscle mass. Yes, the Stallion was big, but this was just crazy.

Mathael said." Is this the best you got? Disappointing..." Mathael added a bit of force and pushed the Manticore to the ground with so much strength that not only the ground cracked, no, but also a crater was created and the monster exploded into Exp!

*Boom*

*Crash*

*Crack*

Mathael slowly and intimately rose to his full height and began to slowly walk toward the unicorn. He would've walked faster, but the scythe was just really heavy. He was thrown out of his thought as a Nightmare Chimera charged at him and tried to bite Mathael, but the beast suddenly stopped in Its Tracks. The Ponies could've sworn they saw something shine for a moment and their question got answered in the form of a monster that first fell apart limb for limb and head and head before exploding into yellow orbs.

Mathael didn't collect the orbs yet as he was too busy at the moment. He continued to casually walk towards the unicorn, but something was off as there weren't any monster in his path, but he knew that this was wrong as he could feel with his Hair Sensors that many Timberwolves have circled him and where hiding behind building and other covers.

Mathael said out loud with a smile."Come out, come out, I know where you are hiding!"

Cold Breeze was shocked to see how this Stallion just saw through her plan, but if he already knew about it then there was no need for keeping the wolves waiting any longer.

Suddenly dozens maybe even hundreds of timberwolves rushed out of their covers and charged towards Mathael. Mathael was getting bored of this as these creatures of the Nightmare class where really weak and too easy to kill. He decided to use woods arch nemesis against his foes. His scythe abruptly was covered with black flames as he said "Blaze Whirlwind" and sliced his weapon through the air.

Suddenly a black flame tornado appeared out of nothing and turned all of his foes to ash. The few Timberwolves who were fast enough to turn around where caught by the sparks as the tornado burst apart, or thrown against buildings with such force that they shattered into millions of pieces, thus killing them.

Blaze Whirlwind
Creates a large cyclone of flames around him strong enough to stop and melt almost even steel with. The wind it causes is strong enough to blow away even the heaviest defensive line.

Cold Breeze was getting desperate as her power began to dwindle. She used everything she had left to create one last Nightmare. Her horn glowed in a blinding light and shot a bolt to the sky leaving behind a normal Mare with no more power of the Corruption or rather a normal tired Pony. The Bolt flew a few feet into the air before falling down and phasing into the ground.

*Crack*

*Boom*

*Screech*

Darkness POV

Darkness shouldn't enjoy this, but she did. It was not the death or the violence that interested her, but how Mathael fight. It was always like Christmas every time a warrior would watch a professional battle against a powerful opponent. True, it wasn't a battle for Mathael, but it was still breathtaking how he was able to fight every enemy no matter the situation or species. She would have to ask how he was doing this as she could clearly see that he wasn't even concentrated in almost any fight.

Back to Mathael

Mathael could see how 1 no, 3. Wait 6. wrong, it was 9 heads which rose from the ground. The heads were followed by the big scaly body of a Hydra or rather a Nightmare Hydra. The beast was humongous and easily 100 feet high and screamed with a deafening voice.

Cold Breeze breathed heavily and taking pauses between words and said."Behold... the...Nightmare Hydra!"

*Chucking*

All eyes were on Mathael who was chuckling as the determination that his opponent radiated. He said."I am sorry to disappoint you, but you lost."

A wave of black flames washed over Eternal Justice as he didn't need a weapon for this. He clapped both of his hooves together and Mathael slowly pulled his hoofs away before revealed a lightning that was charging between them. Mathael then said."Triple maximized Magic Chain Dragon Lightning". before shooting a dragon-shaped lightning at the Nightmare Hydra.

Chain Dragon Lightning
A 7th tier spell that shoots dragon-shaped lightning towards the target. Let alone its intended target, it can also strike other enemies nearby.

*Bzzzzz*

*Boom*

The Nightmare Hydra squirmed in pain before exploding into millions of bits which cause the Guards to run away to not be hit by... whatever that stuff was. Mathael then lets all of the monster corpses exploded into exp which he gladly consumed.

Mathael gained the Following abilities through this fight.

Chimera DNA
Mathael is now able to grow several heads

Hydra DNA
Mathael is now able to regrow his head very fast.

His interest was more centered at the Mare who was behind that attack and less about the powers he gained. He slowly made his way towards her but was surprised at what he saw. She was crying on the ground, but not because of anger that her plan failed, but because of sadness, he knew this thanks to his Changeling DNA.

The sobbing Mare muffled as her head was on the ground."You won... finish it."

Mathael asked."Why did you attack this village?"

The Mare answered."I didn't attack the village, I attacked her" she said while pointing her hoof at Celestia.

Mathael raised an eyebrow and asked."Why did you attack her?"

The Mare sobbed and said."Why *sob* do you care..."

Mathael said."Child, I do not follow her. I merely tried to stop this bloodshed and save you from the Corruption, but my main duty is to bring justice that isn't guided by rules and laws."

The Mare said ."I and a Stallion, Silver Arrow tried to escape the laws Equestria as we didn't want to make a herd, we just wanted just us to be together. We got caught and we were forced apart because of that horse!" She snarled the last part.

Mathael was clenching his teeth as he listened to every word he heard. After she was done speaking he turned his attention towards Celestia and her Guards. He said."So... you think you can just play god with mortals and their love?" every word was filled with pure malice.

Darkness was scared that this would escalate so she ran towards Mathael. It was hard for her to not fall on her face, but she somehow managed to walk. On her way towards Mathael, she got stopped by two members of the Royal Guard.

The Pegasus Guard asked."Stop Citizen! What is your business here?"

Darkness asked."I just want to my Stallion, can I go through."

The other Guard, a unicorn asked."Who is your Stallion dear"

Darkness said."Mathael, the big black one."

TheMare looked at another before the Pegasus said."What were you thinking of letting you Stallion fight!?! I hereby arrest you." Both immobilized Darkness by putting hoof cuffs? on her.

Mathael heard every last word, but when the *click* sound of the hoofs came, his anger erupted as he screamed."Take your dirty hoofs off my Mare!!!". with such force that all Guard were pushed against obstacles such as houses, benches and trash cans.

Mathael then teleported Darkness towards him and with one mighty *Crunch* bite, he chewed through the bindings of Darkness and even swallowed the metal. He said out loud."Celestia, do you even have the slightest idea with whose Mare you messed with? I'll doubt so because if you knew just how small you are then you wouldn't just ignore your Ponies love for 'the greater good'. Here's a small example of my power."

Suddenly a black transparent claw formed around his hoof. Mathael waved his claw at the sun, but after his motion traveled away from the celestial object, it was gone! And the sky was black, not dark, black! The sun was just gone, or was it? He then held out his claw towards Celestia which revealed a miniature version of the celestial object and said."This your sun, a small pebble in front of my power *Crumble* and now Its dust under my hooves..."

Celestia's eyes bulged at the sight and mumbled."But... how..."

Mathael snapped his transparent claw again and the sun rebuilds itself in his claw. He then threw, yes threw the sun towards the sky where it returned to Its normal size. Mathael said."A simple rule, Celestia. No matter how strong you are... There is always one who dwarfs your power besides in this case, of course, considering I am under top 11 of the most powerful beings in the Multiverse"

'Am I or was this just a claim?' asked Mathael.

'In this Multiverse? Yes, considering you are the new god of darkness, but you still have a lot to learn and gain much more power with my help and yes we are going to train very soon, then you can call yourself that powerful. Beyond this Multiverse? I don't know, considering that there are realms that not even the first gods were able to enter...' said Erebus to Mathael telepathically.

Celestia gulped and asked a question that she probably would regret, but asked anyway."Where would Tirek be in that scale if he consumed all of Equus."

Mathael smirked and said."Probably in the four-digit area, maybe in the five digits area."

Celestia's jaw dropped as she just realized with what she dealt with. She asked."W-what are you?"

Mathael threw away his mantle and said."I am Mathael" he then flared his wings. He added."Now... how about this. You let those be together and everyone goes home."

Celestia said fearfully."I can't, If I do this than others will demand the same, the Ponies will die out."

Mathael had enough of this talk and used a bit of his reality warping powers which were almost limitless thanks to discord's, Bill's and Akkus powers to create a small blue orb on which imprinted was a male symbol. He then threw the indestructible relict towards Celestia's hooves.

Mathael said."You don't deserve this, but I'll make an exception. This relict has the power to turn any willing Female into a fertile Stallion, the new Stallion has an even chance to get either gender as their child. The Relict will destroy itself if anyone is forced to the transformation and shut itself down if there is an even number of Male and Female Ponies. One changes if you say with determination that you want to become Male." Mathael was about to leave, but added."And you will leave those two in peace from now on, understood?"

Celestia said."I thank you for your gift, but you do realize that you want me to not punish a murderer?"

Mathael answered."There is a difference between doing something wrong out of free will and desperation. As for the casualties..." Mathael used the old mercy rez, resurrection. A small golden orb formed above his hoof that he slowly lifted upwards. The fallen Guards glowed for a moment before a blinding light forced everyone to look away. When they looked at the corpses again they saw that the Guards weren't corpses anymore, but alive.

Mathael smiled at the scene as these Mare where happy to be alive again, but he was thrown out of thoughts as he felt a nudge to his side. he looked to his left and saw Darkness was the one who wanted something. He asked."Yes?"

Darkness said."You where both a hero and a bit mean. "

Mathael ruffled Darkness mane and said."Sorry, but I see any activity that is directed against love as spitting on my Mother grave, the Demon Lordess of love."

Darkness asked with a raised eyebrow."Another sore spot?"

Mathael said."Yes, I personally care little about what people and monsters think about me or do to me, but I am twice as aggressive towards anyone who hurts innocents or my friends."

Darkness nodded and said."You know Mathael, I think I finally really understand you. You think that you have to only think about to other because you feel guilty about your past and don't deserve a happy end, but that's wrong. You already made up for back then and should make the best out of it. If you can't accept it for yourself, then do it for your friends, your parents who surely don't want you to be sad or maybe you'll do it... for me?"

Mathael said."First... drop the elements they don't work on me." said Mathael who didn't even look at the mane six who were slowly putting on the Elements of harmony. he added."Darkness, you help right, but that's not quite it. I am thankful that you think about me, I really am, but I am fine..."

Darkness sighed and said."On one condition. No more hiding or avoiding my questions. I want the truth today,"

Mathael looked at Darkness for a moment before deeply sighting and saying."Fine... It's quite funny just how much you influence me."

Darkness raised an eyebrow and asked."Come on... I didn't have that much impact on you..."

Mathael rolled his eyes and said."I couldn't even hug somepony before I meet you."

Darkness just realized something and said"Wait! I just thought you didn't like touching?!"

Mathael chuckled and said."ANYWAYS... Should I bring us to the Gala or do you want another try?"

Darkness thought for a second before saying."Ok, but only one more try" Darkness concentrated a bit longer this time exactly 30 seconds to be exact before saying "Gate". Another portal opened a few feet in front of them.

Mathael looked at the Mare whose name he forgot to ask and said."Goodbye miss...?"

The Mare answered."Cold Breeze. My name is Cold Breeze. I thank you for your help, goodbye."

Mathael smiled and said."Goodbye and remember, no one decides your life besides you" Cold Breeze nodded before walking in front of Celestia and looking at with hopeful eyes while she was looked at with eyes of pure anger from Mathael.

Celestia said."Of- of course, you and S-Silver Arrow can come together again." Mathael was making an I'll keep my eyes on you sign with his hooves which caused Celestia to look scared which she was.

Mathael then said out loud while waving his claw hoof."Goodbye Everypony!" before turning his hoof back to normal hooviness (no a single hoovy was harmed in making this joke) and walking towards the portal

In the last second where Mathael was visible, Twilight remembered one thing and screamed."Wait! I have so many Questions!" which cause everyone to laugh.

???

Somewhere in nowhere a swirling vortex appeared in the evergreen forest, the place that pulls strangeness to it as Mexica draws UFOs. Out of the Vortex walked a Male anthro Thestal alicorn and a Female bat Pony who walked on all fours who didn't notice yet that they weren't canon Ponies anymore.

Mathael chuckled and said."Darkness dear, you can walk on two legs again." Darkness ears perked up from listening to his words. She instantly tried to stand up, but Mathael saw that she was still used to the four-legged style. huh... walking is not like riding a cycle. Mathael helped her up by lifting her up and slowly letting her on the ground. Once she stood Mathael instantly snapped his fingers teleport her clothes on her. Afterward, he put back on his suit and beloved top hat.

Mathael said."As much as any Stallion would enjoy the view, I don't think now is the perfect moment."

Darkness wasn't sure if she should take this as a compliment and simply said."Thanks... are we back home?"

Mathael checked if this world was the right one and said."Sadly, no."

Darknesses ears fell on her head and she said."Ok..." Mathael was dying from cuteness at the mere sight of this. He pulled Darkness into a hug to cheer her up.

Mathael said while patting her head."No need to be sad, Darkness. No magician was born a master in magic."

Darkness grinned and she said."I think you make progress, look."

Mathael raised an eyebrow and blinked as a training for his reality warping powers and created a hand mirror. His eyes widened as he saw how his nose was white! He instantly used his magic to turn his nose to the old crow black color.

Darkness screamed in shock."You are keeping yourself grayed out!!!"

Mathael answered with not ears that thankfully didn't explode."No, I just color my fur to the regular black as the old paint job isn't my taste. I am not greyed out, that are merely the stains of Corruption. Also, let's hope you didn't attract any animals with that scream of yours."

Darkness rubbed the back of her head and looked at Mathael with sad eyes." Sorry... I just thought that you would hurt yourself and..." Mathael heard enough and kissed Darkness on the nose which caused her to blush

He said with a smile."No worries Darkness... I am can take care of myself with accidentally pushing the self-destruction button."

Darkness punched him against the shoulder with so much force that she... hurt herself. She said with an unamused expression."This is nothing to make fun of and we still are going to have a talk..."

Mathael rolled his eyes and said."Darkness, I am not avoiding anything. I just don't want you to worry to death! I can see how much this hurts your soul, literally, and I don't want you to do that. Please smile again." A small smile grew on Darknesses face which was already enough to make him happy. He added."Ahh, there is the face I fell in love with." The two of them kissed each other on the lips for a few blissful moments.

*Leaf rustle*

Mathael instantly broke the kiss after he heard someone ear dropping them. He wasn't angry, but rather surprised that someone thanks to his Superhuman Hearing. He walked towards the origin of the sounds, a bush, and pushed his hand into the plant and pulled out a...

*Grrrh*

*Chomp*

*Shatter*

Mathael instantly threw the being he gripped away in bot a little fear, but mostly in disgust and snapped his fingers to clean the blood covered area on his arm, it bites him and broke off Its teeth, with magic. He slowly turned his head towards Darkness who was shivering in fear and screamed."Z-Z-Zombie!!!!"

Mathael sighed and said."Darkness, you are accompanied by me, you don't have to fear undead."

Darkness nodded and asked."Mathael, I don't want to stay here anymore. I want to leave."

Mathael's eyes opened and asked."Darkness... Are you scared of Undead?"

Darkness answered with a sight."Yes... Ever since that day I was scared whenever you weren't around that undead would come... It probably sounds dumb, but-"

Mathael said with a smile."It isn't, I too have fears. It doesn't matter who or what you are, everything is scared of something, but you have to overcome them one day." Darknesses eyes were filled with fear. Mathael added."No worries, we will soon once I made sure to destroy the source the source of the monsters or at least saved any survivors." Drakneeses expression still didn't change

Mathael turned around and saw an entire horde of Zombponies? Zomgies? Zombie Ponies? A lot of Undead! He instantly grabbed Darkness and fly upwards. He hugged Darkness and said."Everything will be fine Darkness." Mathael then looked around and his jaw dropped. Where once Equestria stood was just wasteland. Ponyville was a wreck, but maybe there were survivors.

Ponyville (Or what's left of it...)

Mathael instantly conjured a shield around them when they teleported as he didn't want Darkness to get hurt. After the shield, that would keep all undead out, was made he opened his eyes and saw that his worries were justified as there where dozens of Zombies around the barrier. He wasn't bothered too much by the Undead, but Darkness was so he quickly teleported all corpses on the surface out of Ponyville and used his Earthbender Power to create a huge wall around this doomed down by hitting his slamming on the ground.

Mathael stroked Darknesses hair and quietly whispered into her ear."You can open your eyes, they are gone..."

Darkness didn't want to look at first, but slowly let go of Mathael and looked around herself and saw that all Zombies were gone. She said."Thanks, Mathael. I wouldn't know what I would do without you."

Mathael looked a bit sad and said."Without me being here you wouldn't be in this mess."

Darkness smiled and said."Without you, I wouldn't be here..."

Mathael poked her with his finger on her shoulder and said."Not funny."

Suddenly a new voice could be heard from behind them."H-Hello? Am I seeing things!? Are you really there and I am not dreaming."

Mathael turned around and saw the Spike of this world who wore old clothes with many holes. He looked thin and malnutrition, an understandable thing considering they were in the world he would call 'The Galloping Dead'. Mathael said."Yes, we are real."

Mathael could barely see how fast the young dragon rushed to them and hugged him. Of course, he was rather hugging his belly considering how small he was. Spike said."Ohh thanks, Celestia I am not alone, I was so scared that I was the last one alive."

Darkness crouched down and hugged Spike as she probably just needed someone to hug, but what surprised him was that Spike was crying tears of happiness. How long was he stuck in this rotten world? For someone of his age to survive this long was a wonder!

Mathael said."No worries Spike, everything will be alright."

Spike said."How do you know that?"

Darkness answered."He's apparently the god of darkness and no, he is not my god... or maybe he is?" Mathael blushed from that comment as he could feel an 18+ disturbance in the force.

Spike looked at Mathael and asked with hope-filled eyes."Really?"

Mathael crouched down and ruffled his scales? Spikes? It didn’t matter. Mathael said."Yes... I am going to give you your world back." Mathael almost choked on his words as he said 'Yes' to this question as he still felt uncomfortable with his new title.

Spike leaked even more tears before drying his face with by wishing his arm over eyes. He said."It's not the time to cry, Spike. Come I must show you Twilight, I am sure we can work something out." Before Mathael could protest, Spike already ran somewhere.

Darkness rose from her crouching pose and asked."How are you going to solve this problem."

Mathael bluntly replied."I don't know."

Darkness glared at Mathael and said."You didn't just make me lie to a Child, did you?"

Mathael was actually scared at that moment, never make a Mare angry. Mathael replied."N-No. I just don't know how to do it as in which option will I choose. I could time travel, and stop the event from happening or I could use my magic to turn all Zombies both walking and actually dead back to Ponies. I have enough option and please stop looking at me like that I am honestly scared!"

Darkness suddenly began to laugh while following Spike and said."Maybe you're right, Mathael. I really have too much influence on you." Mathael sighed and ran after Darkness while trying to figure out what he will do or how Twilight will react on seeing him or rather hearing of his power... He will not be plugged on some kind or Frankenstein device!

Once Mathael caught up with the two, he asked."So Spike, since how long are things the way they are?"

Spike rubbed the back of his head and said."I don't really know anymore hehe... I think It has been a few months?"

Mathael was both impressed and shocked to hear that. He asked."How have you survived for that long?"

Spike said proudly."It helps when you are smaller and faster than the sick one."

Darkness raised an eyebrow and asked."Sick?"

Spike repeated and answered."Yes, Sick. I am sure that they'll soon be healthy again and everything will be how things were."

Mathael whispered in Darknesses ear."I think he rejects the fact that everpony is a bit dead."

Darkness whispered back."I understand him. I think I would do the same, but I don't want to stay long enough to find out."

Spike said out loud in a happy tone."We are here. Home Sweet Home."

Darkness and Mathael looked in front of them and saw that they were in front of the Town Hall which surprised both of them that Spike didn't lead them to the Golden Oak Library. Our favorite couple decided to not ask questions and followed Spike towards the building.

Onc the three of them reached the building, Spike carefully opened the door by removing the barricades which only took a few moments. While Spike was busy, Mathael took the time to look around himself.

The Streets that were once filled with happy Ponies were now empty and filled with garbage and many stains of blood and a few organs on the ground, and disgusting sight. The building looks like they were close to falling apart and nature slowly began to take back the land with her plants that either grew onto any structure or simply right through the Ponies work.

Mathael looked to his right and saw a market or what remained of it. To his surprise, there was still a lot of food there, but it was all rotten and covered in Mold a clear sign that the Ponies didn't survive long enough to even begin to raid and ravage the remains of their once so harmonic civilization.

To his right, he could see Canterlot on the horizon. The once glorious city of gold.... and snobs, was just a wreck of Its former beauty. The Palace looked like it has been barricaded, but Mathael's eyes were good enough to see that the doors have been opened with force and gallopers were wandering through the gate in hope of finding one more meal.

Mathael looked to the sky and saw that the sky was a mess as clouds were floating right and left, some even far too high and some almost hit houses. In the center of all this center was Cloudsdale. Mathael thought that at least there the Ponies would be safe, but they weren't as the city was on fire. Mathael guessed that the machines must have overheated.

*Click*

Mathael was thrown out of his thought as he heard that Spike has opened the barricades. The moment Spike opened the door, Mathael held a hand in front of his muzzle as the stench was just too much. It smelled like something someone has forgotten, crawled up, died and rotted.

Darkness looked at Mathael with a confused look and asked."Is something wrong, Mathael?" right... she didn't have the smell of a bloodhound.

Mathael answered while still holding his muzzle which caused his voice to sound weird."I can smell much better than any bloodhound and I think my nose found something really disgusting."

Spike rubbed the back of his head and said."Sorry, Twilight didn't bath in a while..."

Mathael raised an eyebrow at hearing this and had just one thought in mind.'How does a Pony stink like that!'

After Mathael was done with questioning the way things were, he asked."So.... Where is Twilight?"

Spike said."Ohh, right. Follow me!"

Mathael replied while following Spike."Sure, show the way, Frank!"

Darkness raised an eyebrow asked."Who is Frank?"

Mathael smiled and said."Just someone who once was in a similar situation as Spike currently is." Darkness nodded and accepted the answer.

Mathael followed Spike till they reached a steel door that was blocked by chains were warped around the handle of the door and rammed into the wall on the left and right. Mathel was getting more impressed by Spike with each passing seconds, but then a thought entered his mind.

Mathael thought.'Why would you lock your friend away in a Zombie Apocalypse?'

Spike pulled out a key and opened a lock that was well hidden underneath the chains. With a small *Click* sound the door opened and revealed a dark passage that led underground. Spike turned around and asked."Ehm... does anyone have a flashlight? I ran out of candles a few weeks ago."

Mathael smiled and pointed his palm at the ceiling. The two other individuals in the room were confused, but their questions got answered in the form of a small flame that suddenly ignited a few centimeters above his palm. Mathael simply used his Firebending Powers to create a small flame that would guide their way towards... wherever they were going...

The path was now revealed and showed a staircase that led into the basement of the Town Hall. With every step, they took down the old and probably not safe stairs while being followed by a squeaking sound of either rats or planks that were close to falling apart. Not that Mathael was worried, but he was prepared to create a huge mattress to dampen the fall.

Darkness was getting really uneasy as this was exactly like in these movies she once watched. The main Characters go somewhere dark and DIE!... Okay, the characters didn't have enough firepower with them to make the world explode, but still, she wasn't indestructible.

After many slow and careful steps, she made it down the staircase of fear. She feared that the entire thing would fall apart with every step she took! She was so happy when they finally reached the stone floor, but her happiness lived short as they saw a cage in front of them.

Spike walked to the cage with a smile on his face and knocked against the bars a few times before saying."Twilight! I brought friends. They say the can help us with the sickness."

*Graaaagh*

Out of the shadows walked a familiar shadow, but what they thought they saw was far from reality. One hoof could be seen as the creature made one slow step forwards. The hoof looked rotten and a brown liquid drooled out of the skinless flesh. On the hoof was a small collar through which have been ramed many iron spikes.

The creature slowly walked out of the shadow while it groaned in an unfamiliar language. Darkness held a hand in front of her mouth as she tried to hide her gasp that was caused by the sight of horror. The creature had only a bit purple skin left and the fur laid scattered around in the cage.

The jaw of the creature was only held together by few veins from the left side of the mouth. Its eyes were milky white and no pupils could be seen in Its dead eyes. Out of the mouth of the creature drooled a red liquid, almost as it was congealed blood.

The only thing that made it possible for Darkness to identify who that once was, was what remained of a cutie mark on which a star with a few sparkles could be seen that has been pinned into the creature flank with nails. Twilight, or what was left of her, slowly walked towards the edge of the cage but fell down as the bindings made her stumble. Twilight tried to use her hands to pull herself to the edge of the cage to probably eat Spike, but it had avail as she was stuck in that cage.

Darkness couldn't watch the suffering anymore and turned her attention towards Mathael in hope that he could bear the sight, but his expression was even worse than hers. Suddenly Mathael fell on his knees, Darkness crouched down to see what was wrong with him, but she didn't see anything wrong with him.

Darkness asked."Mathael! What is wrong!?"

Mathael didn't respond and fell on all fours and vomited a black liquid. Darkness and Spike took a few steps away from Mathael as they were shocked to see him suddenly just vomit. Mathael looked horrified as he looked into the black puddle that suddenly started to glow. After the glow faded it revealed 3 purple Crystals that he instantly snatched away and there a small portal.

Darkness was about to ask what was wrong with him, but then she saw the color of his left arm turned grey. She said."Mathael, your arm turned white."

Mathael instantly stood up when he heard this and snapped his fingers to color his left arm back to crow black. He said."Thanks, Darkness, I didn't think I would vomit so much of this stuff."

Darkness asked."What is that stuff?"

Mathael answered."I guess its concentrated negative emotions, so much that it turned into Crystalized Darkness."

Darkness didn't have the patience to ask what that stuff was and said."See? It can't be healthy what happening to you."

Mathael slowly rose to his full size and said."That only happens when I come in contact with too many negative emotions."

Darkness said."If you say so..."

Mathael sighed and looked at Spike before asking."Do you know how all of this happened?

Spike thought for a moment and said."Princess Celestia has received a weird book a few months ago and asked for Twilight and a few other unicorns to take a look at it. The book looked really weird, I mean, who makes a cover out of animal skin and forms the texture into the one of a really scary face."

Mathael's eyes shot wide open before he facepalmed and slowly dragged his face down till it reached his chest and let go of it. His face wobbled for a few moments up and down before finally coming to halt and revealing his unamused expression.

Mathael said with a sight."You seriously found a Necronomicon?"

Darkness asked curiously."What is a Necro- what you said."

Mathael explained."A Necronomicon is a book about forbidden magic, but is mostly centered around necromancy."

Spike asked."What! You are telling me that one book caused all of this?!" Mathael nodded. Spike added."How are going to make things the way they were?"

Mathael smiled and suddenly his mouth formed into a really big 'O' and many black and white circles shot out that all floated towards the ground where they formed a tunnel. Mathael created a Time Portal thanks to Aku's DNA.

Spike walked to the edge of the Portal and asked."Ehm... what is that thing and why did it come out of your mouth?"

Mathael walked to the edge and said."This, young Spike, is a Time Portal. As the name said, it allows out to time travel"

Darkness joined Mathael and Spike. She asked."So... are we just gonna jump down there or...?"

Mathae said."Eyup. Darkness please equip your armor and sword, this may not end peaceful considering we are about to steal an ancient book. Spike, wear something nice." Mathael snapped his fingers and suddenly Spike wore blue jeans and a green hoodie

Spike said."You have not the slightest idea how good it feels to finally war something clean after all those months. How are we gonna stop this from happening when we are on the other side though?." Mathael snapped his fingers and created a weird looking metal staff with a grip

Mathael said.”It’s called a shotgun. If you have a problem, use a gun, and if that doesn't work… use more gun.” Mathael chuckled before snapping his fingers again and freeing Spike from a pile of Shotguns he created while his speech

Spike said.”I thought I would suffocate in there.” Mathael patted him on the head to calm him as he really didn’t need a… he wanted to say scared child, but he isn’t that really any more

Mathael then asked."Is everyone ready?"

Darkness asked."Why aren't you wearing your armor?"

Mathael explained."Because I look like the edgiest villain with that armor, besides, they have nothing that could hurt me. Anything else?" No one said anything. Mathael snapped his fingers to erase everything they could possibly bring with them from this world like for example bacteria or virus and jumped down the hole with Darkness and Spike.

A few months in the past

In the throne room of Canterlot Castle were many Ponies today that all were interested in the newest artifact that has been found. One of these Ponies was Twilight Sparkle who so excited about an ancient book that could hold so much information that she couldn't stand still.

Twilight said exited."Can you believe it, Spike? A possible thousands of years old book, just imagine all the knowledge could be hiding just in a few pages. Nothing can stop me from learning Its secrets."

Spike chuckled and said."Twilight, you shouldn't challenge fate, or something might happen."

Twilight laughed and said."Spike, I don't believe in trophy's law." Suddenly a black and white vortex appeared on the ceiling. The Guards went into defense position while the guests backed away.

*Thud*

*Thud*

*Thud*

Out of the Portal fell three beings. Two Bat Ponies, one Male, the other Female, and... Spike??? The Ponies looked at the three beings in confusion while Spike and Spike held a staring contest.

Mathael rose to his full height and said."Greeting Ponies... I am Mathael and I came to warn you from the Necronomicon."

One unicorn Guard shouted while charging his horn."Stand down Intruder or face the consequences."

Mathael was not in the mood for this children play and activated his Magical Disintegration Field which canceled the guard Magic and a certain Draconequus to fall down from somewhere above them.

*Thud*

Discord groaned and said."Hmph... rude!"

Mathael cleared his throat and asked."Does anyone even know in the slightest what a Necronomicon is?"The Ponies shake their head. Mathael added."It's a book about forbidden magic. The magic is so evil that dark magic looks like the holiest kind in comparison."

Princess Celestia asked."Why are there two Spikes?

Mathael chuckled and said."Oh... we came from the future."

Twilight asked."You can time travel!? What was the world like?"

Mathael answered bluntly."A destroyed wasteland that is colonized with walking corpses." The Ponies gasped in shock.

Mathael had no interest in staying here any further and decided to end this. He used his magic to pull the book to him and levitated it above his stretched out index finger that was pointed at the ceiling. Everyone was wondering what he was about to do and they got their answer. The books suddenly began to burn in black flames for a few moments, not even ash remained.

The Ponies gasped as they didn't expect him to do this. Mathael said."Sorry, but I already know what would happen if I let this book in your hands, citizens of this words Equestria."

Darkness knew that this was the right thing to do, the book was evil and must be destroyed, but it still kinda felt like as Mathael was trying to point the attention towards him. Suddenly she came to a conclusion, by making himself a target, the Ponies already forgot about the book

Mathael heard every word Darkness thought and said with a small smile towards her."Ding! Ding! Ding! we have a winner."

Mathael was about to leave, but then he realized one small problem... what will he do with future Spike? Mathael simply said."Oh.. and please take care of Spike. Poor little drake had to survive in that wasteland for months."

With everything done, Mathael walked towards Darkness and said."This time, we will create a portal together as I am getting tired of helping other worlds with their crises."

Darkness raised an eyebrow and asked."How often did you do the whole world travel and help thing?"

Mathael countered with another question."What do you think I am doing when you are not with me?"

Darkness was honestly surprised. Normal Stallions would do their hobbies or meet friends in their free time, but Mathael just saved worlds in his free time... she began to question just how little she knew about him.

Mathael chuckled as he still could hear her thought and said."You know more about me than any other being in the creation, but now is not the time for small talk as the Ponies are getting uneasy. Please take my hand."

Darkness nodded and took Mathael's hand. She instantly felt the overwhelming amount of power of his very being flow through her. She was guided by him as she slowly formed a spell matrix. Rune after rune was added into the magical construct till she slowly opened her eyes and said "Gate"

Suddenly a swirling vortex opened a few feet in front of them. Darkness looked at Mathael who nodded before the two of them entered the portal to escape the Guards that rushed towards them, but they were far to slow. The Ponies just stood there questioning what was happening, but the most confused on was Twilight as she was hugged by two Spike at the moment... She would never misspell Murphy law again.

Canterlot Castle

Princess Celestia and Luna where currently in the throne room as the 'patiently' awaited Mathael and Darkness. They normal were the embodiment of calmness, but they got a report that their two guests vanished through a portal one minute and thirty-seven seconds ago!

Suddenly a portal appeared in the middle of the Throne room which caused the Guards to go into defense position. Out of the Portal walked Captain Darkness Bloodheart who was closely followed by Mathael.

Mathael greeted."Greeting Princesses, How was your day so far? You seem stressed."

princess Luna ran towards Mathael and hugged Mathael who just had a deadpan expression on his face. He said."It's nice to see you too Luna." While patting her back

Princess Celestia asked."Luna, why are you hugging Mathael? And why do you look exhausted Mathael?"

Mathael's was only expressed one thing... shock as he just realized that Luna forgot to tell her Sister about their relationship. He snapped his fingers and teleported everyone besides the princesses, him and Darkness out of the throne room and barricaded the door with a wall of what could be described as super heavy, hard and sticky caramel.

Mathael cleared his throat and said."The reason why I am not myself at the moment is that I and Darkness have been training a portal spell which failed a few times and sent us to different dimensions. As for why Luna is hugging me... I think she should explain it."

Celestia looked at Luna with one closed eyes and asked in a teasing tone."Luna...? Do you have a crush?"

Luna puffed and said."Hmph! You had Discord so why can't I have a mix of an Angel and Demon."

Mathael thought when he heard this.'...WHAT!...'

Suddenly all air in Mathael's lungs exited his body which sounded like a quickly deflating balloon. Mathael asked."What!!! You have been with Discord?! Can I have an autograph from him?"

Princess Celestia said nervously."ANYWAYS... say Mathael... Ehm... what did you do today?"

Mathael said."I will not forget that, but I taught Darkness enough magic to possibly blow up Canterlot Castle and traveled with her through the universe. The first world we visited was ruled by Mares and was attacked by a poor confused soul that has fallen into the hands of my old enemy... Ohh, and we visited a world that was full of Zombies."

The Princesses were shocked that Mathael spoke to casually of something like that. Luna asked."Zombies exist?" Mathael nodded. Luna screamed in joy."huzzah Sister! We knew Undead were real!"

Mathael rolled his eyes and said in a curious tone."So... You and Discord were together... what made you fall in love with him?"

Princess Celestia expected a different reaction and said with sadness."Can we please not mention my love life?!"

Mathael said."Princess... I can tell that Discord will soon escape and your word will decide if you either have a friend again or a grave in front of the castle... Just promise me one thing. Once the moments come, tell us what happened. I don't want to look through your memories nor do I want to hear it from Luna."

Princess Celestia sighed and said."I promise." Mathael suddenly appeared in front of her and hugged her.

He said."Like someone once said. You can't deal with all your problems alone. So if you have a problem then just say so, even if it happened a long time ago I can still help considering I can time travel."

Darkness said with a bit of annoyance."I am confused. You can help any other being you met, but yourself. Why?"

Mathael sighed as he remembered his promise and said with a sight."To put it simply... I am scared..."

What!!!

Darkness asked in disbelief."You are scared?! You? But why?"

Mathael looked away and answered."That's the thing. I don't know why I am scared..."

Princess Celestia asked."How can you be scared of something you don't know?"

Mathael snapped his finger and created a few chairs for all of them. After he sat on one he said."I don't know if I am scared of feeling again... or if I am scared of having something again to just lose it again..."

Princess Luna said with a smile."I know it is hard for you, believe me, It wasn't easy, but I am slowly learning how to live normally again."

Mathael smiled for a second before it vanished and said."I have a special ability... I can see my previous lives... Do you know what all of them had in common? None of them had a happy end. All of them lost everything they had. In my previous life, I asked for the help of one of the most powerful Beings after he-I had lost everything in life to only gain and lose it again. Do you know what followed? I died and an even more powerful being resurrected me, erased my bad memories and gave me a family. I had everything I ever wanted and it was taken from me again... then I began a new with a master who supported me... and I had to leave him because something bad would have happened if I stayed, but my memories were given back to me... I trained to become powerful to protect myself and possible other and now I am a mere figure in the big game. Apparently, I am the new so-called god of darkness that will banish the Corruption, but... I am honest with you, I doubt I can do this, but what choice do I have?"

Mathael looked up and saw that the Girls were crying from hearing this. He continued."This is all new for me... In what? 3 weeks I was given something I haven't had in over a decade... I don't feel the way you feel... I don't feel the cold wind of a breeze, the hot sun. I don't hear like you do, nor do I smell the same way. I can watch things that scar other for life with a yawn. I have died the most painful way possible and in many less painful ways too... so why am I scared of a normal life?" Mathael closed his and was about to say that he was fine, but then suddenly felt six arms wrap around him.

Princess Celestia said while sobbing."Mathael *Sob* We didn't know that you had it this bad, but *Sob* but please. Don't give up."

Princess Luna said while crying."Please Mathael. You have shown us that life isn't just grey. You just have to try and you will one day be happy."

Darkness said."Mathael... I know it may be scary, but you have to do it. Please.. for me?...for us?... For everyone who cares for you and you care for?"

Mathael was now crying too and asked."Why... Why are you nice to me... why are you not scared like everyone else?... Why...?"

All three girls said at the same time."Because we care about you."

Mathael closed as he tried to hide his tears, but it was far too late for that, but then something unexpected happened. All of his black colors slowly walked away from his body, leaving behind the figure he rarely mentioned, the former Mathael. Mathael slowly opened his eyes and upon seeing his white fur he tried to snap his fingers, but he was stopped by Darkness hand.

Mathael thought in panic.'H-how is she holding me back?'

Erebus spoke in his head.'Darkness only encouraged you, but you are doing this.'

Darkness said."I know this is new for you, but I am sure you can do this..."

Mathael looked at Darknesses eyes. Those eyes that meant everything to him. He said."Darkness... You have shown me today what I never could never do, something no power could ever give me... courage..."

Darkness asked."What do you mean? Something you could never do? What do you mean with courage?"

Mathael smiled and returned the hug and said."You all have shown me courage. Courage is not having the strength to go on; it is going on when you don't have the strength. I thank you... for giving me something I could never have on my own... friends..."

Erebus said in an encouraging tone.'Maybe you are strong enough to end this war Mathael.'

The four friends didn't move a muscle for several seconds as the Girls knew how 'under-hugged' he was. After about five minutes they broke the hug and all of them could see that Mathael looked more alive than he previously was. Our Protagonist then snapped his fingers to dry their tears and put their makeup in their original place. Mathael then put the stains of corruption in his Pocket dimension where it would be safe. After everything has been taken care of, he colored his fur back to It black color.

"Mathael!"

Mathael actually almost got a heart attack. He said after calming his poor heart."I just colored it back nothing else. Don't worry Girls... I am not that much of a blockhead." This caused the Girls and him to laugh.

Darkness hugged Mathael again and said."See? It's not that hard to be happy."

Mathael smiled and said."maybe you're right. I should've listened to you from the start." Darkness gave him a sly grin. Mathael then snapped his fingers again to make the blockage vanish, but the figure that walked through it was... not a fan favorite of him.

A figure everyone... hated said."Aunty!"

Mathael mumbled."You gotta be kidding me, right?"

The snobbiest figure walked through the door as if he owned the place and said with pure malice."You!!!"

Mathael said with a smile and a happy voice."Blueblood! How was your trip to the farm? I hope you had fun!"

Blueblood walked in front of Mathael and said."I'll have your head for what you did to me!"

Mathael shrugged and did the Genie. He made a throat-cutting movement with his thumb on his neck and with the help of magic, his head fell off and landed in Blueblood's hands.

Mathael's decapitated head said happily."Happy?" Blueblood's eyes rolled to the back of his head before he fell unconscious to the ground. Mathael almost couldn't hold his laughter

*Thud*

Mathael's body then crouched down and picked up his head before putting him on his bodies neck and letting the virus go the job. Mathael then turned around and asked the shocked Girls who had their eyes bulge and jaws on the ground."Too much?" his answer came in the form of three Ponies who nodded with a dumbfounded expression.

Shortly afterward came a pair of Guards who ungently picked up Blueblood and carried him towards his mansion, yes that guy had a mansion. After the Mathael's second most hated Pony has been brought out of the Castle, he and the Girls walked to the main hall were the preparations for the Gala were currently made.

Mathael was surprised to see that the entire hall was almost empty besides many Wooden boxes that were scattered around the entire room... Haven't they invented cardboard yet? He remembered that Asura spend almost the entire day with his friends while he would've spent the entire day with Darkness, but since time is weird, he only was gone for about 2 minutes in those two worlds...

Mathael sighed and said."Time to work in the old fashion way." Our Protagonist than casually made his way towards one of the boxes and pulled out a few parts for a table. He then began to build the parts together and placed it on the ground.

Darkness asked in a curious tone."Mathael? Why aren't you just snapping and make everything ready?"

Mathael chuckled and said."It's called reality warping power or simple, Chaos magic. As for why I am doing this with my own two hands? Simple, Just because I can do it, doesn't mean I have to. Life would be boring if you would just have to snap and everything you wanted would be done... I am looking at you, Thanos..."

Princess Celestia asked with a curious tone."Who is Thanos and are you saying that you have powers similar to Discord?"

Mathael turned around with a smile and said."Thano is a big purple alien who was lucky enough to find some of the rarest gems in the universe... As for my powers? I have the Chaos magic of three of the most powerful reality warpers."

Princess Celestia' and Luna's looked like they heard the world would explode! Princess Celestia asked."Mathael? what are you capable of doing with all this magic?"

Darkness said bluntly."He can crush suns with his bare hands without any effort..."

The Princesses eyes slowly traveled away from Darkness and looked at Mathael who was happily whistling while decorating the table. Mathael then turned around with a smile and asked."Is something wrong?"

Princess Luna asked."Mathael... please tell us that that is the extent of your power..."

Mathael said with a big smile."Nope! I could, If I wanted to, erase twelve universes without any trouble, but don't worry. I am not going to use my full power as long no one makes me really, really angry *Chuckling* And that's why I am not telling you everything about me as this would probably cause a lot of confusion."

Mathael actually was able to do so as he had the power of the king of all, he had Zeno's Power, but he would never use this kind of power. He simply had to use all of his power without any restraints, but he still had to find out how to erase something that wasn’t in front of him.

Once he was finished with the first table, he walked in front of the Princess and said."Come on Princess, smile. I am on your side and I will use this power to keep this world safe."

Hearing this, calmed the Princesses. They had to remember that Mathael would only use his power for good and keep their world safe. The Princesses said with a bit of sadness."We are sorry for doubting you Mathael. We were scared for a moment that you might go insane of power."

Mathael looked at the Princesses for a moment with a serious look, before bursting into laughter. He said while wiping the tears out of his eyes."Me going insane of power? You don't have to fear that. I respect life a bit too much for becoming mad."

Darkness asked in a curious tone."What do you mean by honor life? I saw you kill without a problem."

Mathael explained."That's true, but I only kill when I am hungry or if I have too like for example saving someone, killing someone evil or because I need a certain ability to decrease the number of lives that are lost. I don't do it for amusement."

Darkness was smiling at Mathael's words as he explained his ethics. It surprised her a lot that deep in this warrior was the heart of a poet.

Mathael then ended the conversation and said."Anyways, I'll be picking up our friends now. Are you coming Darkness or will you be waiting here?"

Darkness said sarcastically."And possibly not see another magic trick of yours? Never!"

Mathael smiled and said."Good, because I know a shortcut, follow me." Darkness nodded and followed Mathael till they stood in front of a closet. To Darknesses surprise there was an entire hallway in that closet. She simply followed Mathael and tried to understand how they would get to Ponyville like this.

The Princesses were confused why Mathael and Darkness walked into a closet. The two of them opened the closet, but to their surprise there only hand a few pieces of clothing, there wasn't even enough to possibly fit the two of them!

Ponyville

Rarity said with glee in her eyes."I can't believe it, Girls! Today is the Gala!"

Twilight said."I know. I am so excited to show Princess Celestia all the things I learned!"

Rainbow Dash said."The Wonderbolts will be there too! I can't wait to meet the best flyers in Equestria's, well till they see my of course."

Applejack said."Ah know what ya mean Twilight, Ah hope Ah can earn some money for mah Family."

Pinky Pie said while jumping around like a filly who ate too much sugar."This is going to be the best Party ever!"

Fluttershy said shyly."I like to see the Animals"

Thunder Spark who was forced to wear a nice suit said."Do I have to wear something like this? It's so uncomfortable."

Stary Swirl said."Sorry dear, but they have a strict dress code, besides, Mathael wears a Tuxedo all the time and he isn't complaining."

Zecora asked in a curious tone."Now that you mention it. Where are Mathael and Darkness?" Suddenly a closet door opened through which Mathael and Darkness walked.

Pinkie said out loud."Ohh. Let me try, let me try. Hmm... where is out giant cupcake?" To her disappointment, no giant Cupcake appeared out of thin air as fate was just cruel or specifically, Mathael didn't want to ruin the Girl's clothes with a moon-sized cupcake.

Mathael said to Darkness."See? The Shortcut leads exactly where we needed to be."

Darkness said."I am not even going to ask who you did that, Mathael."

Mathael said."Simple, I just created two holes in the fabric of reality and collected them with a very stable wormhole."

Twilight screamed."You did what!?!"

Mathael looked away from Darkness and saw that Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Trixie, Gilda, Ditzy, Swift Tail, Mellow Hoof, Lotus, Aloe, Zecora, Thunder Spark, Stary Swirl, Soothe Wing have all gathered and wore beautiful dresses. Mathael wasn't surprised that the Girls would look beautiful in the dresses, but it still overshoots his expectations by a lot.

Mathael said with a smile."I must say. You Girls look beautiful with these dresses, but clothing can only make someone look good if the bearer is even more breathtaking" This caused all Girls to blush at the same time from his comment. Some even giggle.

Rarity then said, "Well darling. If you think that our dresses are beautiful, then just wait till you see the suit I have made for you."

'But I already have a suit I love...' thought Mathael

Mathael said with a smile."I thank you Rarity, but isn't this a bit much? I mean I already have a suit."

Rarity answered."Pish posh. This is a special event and It would be a tragedy for you to wear your casual clothes. Your suit is in the next room over there where you can wear it" Seh said as she pointed to a room.

Darkness said with a sly smile."Yes, Mathael. You have to wear this suit."

Rarity added."Ohh, Darkness Darling. I made you a dress too. It's beside Mathael's"

Mathael had a big smile on his face as he heard this and said."Yes, Darkness. You must wear that dress."

Mathael remembered something and said."Before I forget. Spike will be taking Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle to the Gala."

Rarity asked, "Why would he be taking the fillies there?"

Mathael smiled and said."Spike wanted to take the fillies to a date, but he didn't know where they should go so I told him that he could come with me."

Rarity smiled and said, "Oh, that's wonderful. I am so happy that Spike will finally go on a date."

Mathael asked curiously."Do you any dresses for them to wear Rarity? If not, I could make some."

Rarity said, "Why certainly yes. I made some dresses for them if they ever wanted to go to some fancy party. And they can wear the dresses to the Gala. I even made a suit for Spike."

Mathael smiled as he already knew that thing would play out this way. He said "Thank you Rarity. Spike and the fillies will be here any moment now." He heard some step walking towards the boutique. He knew who they were, he walked in front of the door and gestured Darkness to be the first to change, but his special somepony just gave him the stink eye as she probably still a bit angry that she had to wear a dress. In the end, both of them entered the changing room.

While Mathael and Darkness were changing clothes in the room, all the girls were waiting to see what he will look like in his suit. Some even tried to take a sneak peek through the keyhole but were levitated away by Rarity and Twilight, well Twilight almost threw them through a wall as she still wasn't used to her new powers.

Rarity said, "Now girls. You just have to wait and see him when he comes out."

Pinkie said, "But I want to see what he looks like. And his muscles."Said the last part in a whisper.

Rainbow was a little blunt and said, "Come on Rarity. Move out of the way so I can see what his awesome muscles look like."

The rest of the girls blushed at her statement. Applejack hit her on the back of her neck and shouted, "Rainbow! You can't just take a look at someone who is changing clothes! That's rude!"

Rainbow said with a sly grin while rubbing her head, "Come on AJ. I know you want to see his body. And besides, Mathael is the only one who has muscles like that in Ponyville. Not even your brother can match his muscles."

Applejack's whole head was blushing when she said that. The other girls blushed more as they heard her say that. Just as Applejack was about to say anything Rarity said, "Oh girls. If you want to know what his body looks like, then me, Fluttershy, Lotus, and Aloe have already seen what he looks like and I have to say that he looks magnificence."

Stary Swirl said shyly."Thunder Spark and I saw his muscles too and I have no idea how he hides them under his suit."

Soothe Wing said while blushing."You Girls have not the slightest idea how big they were. It was like a demi-god was sitting in front of me."

The other girls looked at Rarity, Fluttershy, Thunder Spark, Stary Swirl, and Soothe Wing with wide eyes and with jealousy. Fluttershy was trying to hide her blushing face behind her hair.

Rainbow asked, "Wait! You all saw his body!?"

Stary Swirl said."We saw his body as he was fighting, well... a monster that took over Thunder Spark."

Soothe Wing said while trying to hide her blush."I saw it when his muscles suddenly burst out of his suit... That was the nicest random thing that ever happened to me." she whispered the last part.

Rarity said, "Of course we saw him, darling. But not like you are thinking about."

Applejack said, "Then how did you two see him without his clothes?"

Rarity said, "Well when I and Fluttershy were going to our spa session to relax, we bump into Mathael and Darkness and took him with us to the spa."

Rainbow Dash was shocked and said, "What! Mathael! The Mathael!? The big strong god slayer!? defeater of Nightmare Moon? Winner of that griffin tournament, ender of the cheater king Black Beak and slayer of the tyrant king Dainn!? That Mathael!!???"

Rarity calmly said, "Yes darling. Mathael and Darkness went with us to the spa to relax."

Gilda said, "But why did he go there? Couldn't he relax in some other way than to go there?"

Rarity said, "He was really worried in the past few days that his muscles started to hurt him.

Lotus said, "That's right. I have never seen so much knot up muscles like that since the spa was built.

Aloe said, "He really needed to relax. He fell asleep in the middle of his massage session after trying his best to stay awake for a really long time.."

The girls became confused and Twilight asked, "What do you mean by he was worried Rarity?"

Rarity, Fluttershy, Lotus, and Aloe told the girls what he told them at the spa. The girls were shocked to hear about the discovery of the Ninth metal and what it could have done to Equestria. They were glad that he killed Dainn and stopped his future war. They were then surprised at how much he cares about Darkness and his friends and were then sad and cried at how much he was suffering in his past. But now that he was here, Darknesses love for him made the darkness around him disappear.

As they were waiting for Mathael and Darkness to come out, the front door to the boutique opened and in came Spike with Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle. The girls wipe their tears away so they won't make the young ones worry.

Rarity said, "Well Spike. We heard that you will be taking the fillies to a date at the Gala?"

Spike blushed a bit and said, "Y-Yes. I was going to take them on a date but Mathael told me to take them to the Gala."

Twilight said, "That's good news, Spike. You finally found some beings to love who are around your age."

Spike nodded and the fillies hugged him that made him blush and the girls giggled at them. Rarity said, "Well, why don't you girls come with me and I will give you your dress for the Gala. Spike, you also come with me so you can get your suit."

The three fillies and Spike nodded and went with her. After a few minutes, the fillies and Spike came down with Rarity, wearing their dresses and suit.

The girls were looking at their cute dresses and Spike looking good in his suit. If Spike looks this good in a suit then how good will Mathael look in his suit. They kept staring at the door which he was behind and waited impatiently to see him. They could've sworn they heard someone quietly chuckle.

In the room, Mathael was quietly chuckling as he heard their jealousy thanks to his Superhuman Hearing and he could taste the funny sourness of jealousness thanks to his Changeling DNA

Darkness who was slowly pulling off her clothes asked."What's so funny?"

Mathael was currently taking off all of his cloth a bit faster as his chuckling slowed him down. Mathael said."They are *chuckling* fighter over who saw me *chuckling*under my clothes."

Darkness smiled and said."It's funny, but I didn't take you for a Stallion who enjoyed this."

Mathael calms himself down and said."I don't, but I never tasted jealousy before and It's so sour that it's making me smile and chuckle."

Mathael now only wore his underpants and his tie as he would never fit in the suit without it, but he noticed one problem pretty quickly. There was no space in the suit for his Tie so he just hangs it over the suit instead of inside. Nothing could go wrong right...? At least he wasn't angry for jewel meat...

After Mathael put one the suit, he realized that this suit looked identical to the one of codename 47... well it fitted him well considering the two of the mare both murderer and where kinda brainwashed... After he was done with questioning coincidence, he looked at Darkness and his jaw dropped at the sight of her. He normally wouldn't react this way, but he was now literally looking at the most beautiful Pony in his eyes.

Darkness said curiously while rubbing her right arm."Do I look this good in this dress?"

Mathael smiled and said."Even better than that." With their compliments done, Mathael walked to the door and opened it,

The girls were waiting impatiently while staring at the door, for him to come out. After a while, the door opened and out came Mathael and when he did, the girls were shocked and surprised that made them look at him with wide eyes and jaws agape and with a slight drool. Standing in front of them was Mathael in a black suit that covered his body. He had cuffs buttons made up of diamond that sparkle and a red tie (It was actually his normal one that he changed a bit with his magic so he would fit in the suit). To say that he looked dashing was an understatement. He looked like a stallion that has come out of their dream.

Darkness was a real eye catcher too as she wore a long black and dark purple dress that touched the ground a bit. The dress hand over her right shoulder and was decorated with black ruffles and big ribbons. She looked like the queen of the night.

(Just think Darkness in Fluttershy's place)

Mathael looked at the girls and saw how they were looking at him and chuckled at that. He moved his arms around a bit and asked, "So girls. How do I look?"

Darkness said."I think you look cute Mathael." Hello mister blush, it's been a long time since we last met.

Mathael replied."I would say that you look good, but that would be a big underestimation"

This time, it was the girls who could not say anything and only nodded their heads. He chuckled a bit more and then looked at the fillies and saw how cute they looked.

Mathael said."I must say. You really are the sweetest fillies far and wide. Do the clothes have something to do with it?"

The fillies blushed and nodded. Mathael then looked at spike a saw him in a suit. He said, "I must say, the suit, suits you."

Spike grinned and said, "So does yours." They both laughed a bit that shook the girls to come out of their state of shock.

Mathael then said, "Come on everyone. Our ticket to the Gala is here."

Lotus asked, "How do you know about that?"

Mathael pointed towards his ear and said, "I have "Superhuman Hearing which allows me to hear sounds from far away. I heard some sound of wings flapping coming towards this boutique. So they must be our ride to the Gala."

'And I knew when the carriages would arrive because I have been reading a bit...' thought Mathael

With that, they all went outside and true to his word, there were 4 carriages outside the boutique with two Pegasus attached to each of them.

First Carriage
Twilight, Trixie, Rarity, Lotus, Pinkie Pie and Ditzy.

Second Carriage
Rainbow Dash, Gilda, Applejack, Swift Tail, Fluttershy and Mellow Hoof.

Third Carriage
Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Spike, Aloe, Soothe Wing,

Fourth Carriage
Zecora, Mathael, Darkness, Thunder Spark, Stary Swirl.

Mathael helped the girls to step into the carriage first which made them smile. Spike saw this and did the same with the fillies which made them happy. After everyone was in the carriages, the Pegasus pulled the three carriages and flew towards Canterlot.

Canterlot Castle Ballroom

From an eagle's eye view, the outside of the ballroom was filled with many Equestria high-class ponies or just the so-called nobility. They are the most sophisticated and wealthiest ponies to ever grace the Grand Galloping Gala or the most racist bastards. There were also other leaders and nobles present there from other kingdoms as well.

Due to numerous rumors of a special guest arriving at the Gala have spread like wildfire and as usual, the nobles plan on increasing their social ladder by getting on his good side or bringing him to their side. They eagerly awaited the arrival of the special guest as they talk with each other.

A male noble said, "Greetings Top Lamonia. Do you perhaps know any information about the special guest attending this year's Gala?"

A female noble said, "I am sorry Money Count. The princesses have not really shed any information about the one arriving here. I think that they want it to be a surprise."

Another male noble said, "Well, I did hear a rumor that said this pony was the one who saved Ponyville all by himself from a monster attack."

An old noble said, "Yes. There are similar rumors saying that this pony attacked a slave camp and freed the prisoners single-handedly."

Some of the noble's eyes went wide when they heard this and asked, "Is that really true? To be able to do that, this pony must be strong, yes?"

Some nodded and a female noble said, "According to some of the rumors, it seems that our mystery guest hails from a land far away from Equestria. There isn't anyone that has seen what this pony may look like."

"That my dear is because that thing only looks like a Pony, but in truth is nothing more than a demon." A voice came from behind them. They all turned their attention to the voice and saw that it was none other than Blue Blood himself. Blue Blood had a scowl on his face and was walking towards the group of nobles while he sips from a glass of wine.

A noble asked him, "Prince BlueBlood? You look horrible, What happened to you and what do you mean that he only looks like a Pony?"

Blue Blood said in a disgusted voice, "Oh, I have met him alright and let me tell you that the so-called special guest is not a pony at all. That thing is a Demon! Also, according to my source, that thing has made his home in that backward, hick town known as Ponyville. That Monster even forced me to work! Can you believe it!?"

A noble said, "However, it seems that the princesses themselves have personally invited this so-called Demon to this year's Gala. Also, I have heard that he will be arriving here with the bearers of Elements of Harmony themselves."

Blue Blood said with annoyance, "Oh, please spare me. I know that my aunties are kind and benevolent, and because of that, they don't reject anyone. How can the princesses stand something like that Monster? If it were up to me, I would have thrown that abomination straight into the dungeon and throw away the keys. This is Canterlot, home of Equestria's finest nobles and we need to keep it that way and not let any filthy commoner set hooves here." The other nobles seem to nod in agreement. However, one voice spoke against his.

"So, according to you, those who have money are allowed to come here while those who don't need to be kicked out of Canterlot? Is that what are you trying to say Prince Blue Blood?" Everyone turned their attention to this voice and saw a noble who was white furred, blue maned stallion and wore a finely pressed black tux and monocle over his left eye. Accompanying him was a lavishing mare who had white fur with a pink tint and a rosy pink mane. She wore a beautiful white dress that clung closely to her form.

Blue Blood hated these two nobles but he didn't want to look bad in front of the other nobles, so he wore a fake same and greeted them, "Why, if it isn't Sir Fancy Pants and Fleur de Lis. I am pleased that the two of you could make it to the Gala."

Fancy also smiled and said, "You're quite welcome. It's good to meet you too Prince Blueblood. However, it seems that your sources have given you the wrong information about our new visitor. According to my sources, I have been informed that our guest is a truly unique being. Also, there is one big information regarding our special guest. It seems that the princesses have not only invited this guest personally but he will also be the guest of honor for tonight's Gala." This made the rest of the nobles jaws dropped on the floor when they heard this news.

Blue Blood could not believe what he was hearing. He said with disbelief, "T-that cannot be true. There must be a mistake! How can that Demon possibly gain such an honor?!!"

Fleur De Lis said with a hint of a smirk, "Oh, It is very true Prince Blue Blood. Why else do you think the princesses have invited other leaders of foreign countries. If you ask me, it seems that the princesses are very interested in this mysterious being and they want the entire world to know about his existence."

Blue Blood didn't like what he was hearing. First, that thing harmed him, then threatened him and made him work on a farm to clean the excrements of lowly beasts!. A Prince! He was about to retort when the sound of trumpets rang out. Every noble and all leaders present there looked up at the sky. Over in the skyline, they could see three chariots approaching the castle. The nobles thought that the guest of honor must be on one of those chariots and prepared themselves so they could meet him.

Fancy Pants said, "Well now, I believe that the bearers of the Element of Harmony are arriving in one of those chariots. And I do believe that our guest of honor will be aboard on one of those chariots and I really want to meet with him." He then held out his arm for his wife and said, "Would you care to join me, my dear?"

Fleur smiled and said, "Of course honey, I would love too". She then links her arm with his and then walked towards the incoming chariots. The rest of the nobles became interested in what Fancy Pants said and followed the noble couple. They all walked towards the incoming chariots and left Blue Blood behind.

Blue Blood didn't want to make a fool of himself. So with a huff, he too joined them and said, "Yes. Why don't we meet this guest of honor."

Nobles began to form a crowd along the red carpet as the chariots drew closer. They were interested to see who this mysterious guest could be. At the end of the carpet, the royal diarchy of Equestria, as well as the foreign delegates, were standing there to meet the guest of honor. The chariots touched down and the guard ponies positions themselves in front of the chariot's doors.

One guard announced, "Now presenting, her royal highness faithful student, Twilight Sparkle, the bearers of the elements of harmony and her friends." the guards opened the doors to the first three chariots and came Twilight along with her friends Twilight, Trixie, Rarity, Lotus, Pinkie Pie, Ditzy, Rainbow Dash, Gilda, Applejack, Swift Tail, Fluttershy, Mellow Hoof, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Spike, Aloe, Soothe Wing. They didn't move towards the red carpet, instead, they simply waited by their chariot for Mathael to come out.

The guards then made their way to the fourth chariot's door and proceed to open them. Inside, the girls were a bit nervous as it was their first time coming to a Gala.

Mathael comforted Thunder Spark and Zecora, "It will be fine. You are with me and I will not let anything happen to you and the girls. Thunder Spark, you don't have to worry being revealed because no matter what they'Ll try to do to you... they will fail and regret it" That made both of them calm down. He then looked at Darkness and Stary Swirl and saw that they weren't scared, on the contrary, they looked really excited. Their cuteness made Mathael chuckle.

The guards were a bit excited to see Mathael as he has not only disciplined them but gave them some very strong armors and weapons. They were thinking that maybe they could ask him to train them as well.

The guard announced, "Now presenting, the guest of honor, winner of the last griffin tournament, slayer of the backstabbing king Black Beak, Murderer of the tyrant king Dainn, liberator of Zebrica Mathael!!"

The crowd of nobles then erupts into a small bout of murmurs. The guest of honor was someone who won that tournament and also killed the rulers of the deer, lion and Griffon kingdom. They were looking forward to seeing who the guest could be that the princesses have invited. When the guard pony opened the door, everyone held their breaths as they wait to see who the mysterious guest. What emerged from the chariot first confused all of the nobles.

The nobles first saw a hand coming out and grabbing the side of the door and then they saw someone coming out while bending a bit down to come through the door. His head was down so that no one saw what he looked like. They then saw the being putting his right leg on the floor and when his foot touched the floor, everyone around that location felt something going down their spine. They felt a lot of power. Not magical but pure raw power coming from this being. That's because Mathael did release a sample of his power by letting his power out like a wave in every direction. He was literary saying "Don't You Dare to Mess With Me".

They were then surprised when they saw the Pony raising his head with his eyes closed and reaching his full height. The Pony stood at 9 feet tall. The same height as the princesses. The nobles never thought that they have to look up someone besides their princesses. The nobles were taken aback by his appearance and were shock and speechless when they realized that this Pony must be the guest of honor. The being shocked them, even more, when they saw him opening his eyes.

As soon as the Pony opened his eyes, they again felt his power but this time, they saw it. They saw that his eyes radiated power of the like they have never seen before. They even wilted under his gaze.

Mathael stood there and look around a bit at his surrounding. He saw a ton of nobles in their fancy suit and some even wilted when he looked at them. He also saw that the guards were wearing new armors that were made from his gift.

Solar Guards

Night Guards

They look like they can least defend themselves now. Mathael then turned back to the door of the carriage and lifted his right hand and said, "You can come out now friends."

Mathael helped Darkness and Zecora to step down from the chariot and Thunder Spark did the same with Stary Swirl. mathael then said to the rest of friends, "Let's go and meet the princesses girls."

Darkness took hold of his left arm while Zecora surprisingly walked on her own, but was still pretty close to him. They began to walk down the red carpet with the rest of his friends followed close from behind. Spike and the fillies followed behind them. As they were walking, Mathael heard what the nobles were talking about him.

"I have never seen a Pony like him"

"Is that the guest of honor?"

"He's tall like the princesses."

"He's huge."

"He's buff."

"He's good looking"

"Did the guard said that he won that tournament?"

Mathael thought.'Great. I am not even five minutes here and I am already seen as a piece of meat... Wait, Buff? Ohh right... Because of Rarity's suit my tie can't control my muscles that well'

Mathael was at least happy that they weren't bad mouthing his friends or him. He then stood before the royal diarchy and other leaders. He straightens his posture and nodded his head. His said with a smile, "Greetings Princesses. I am honored to be seen as the guest of honor."

Celestia and Luna smiled and greeted him. Celestia said."And it is my great pleasure to have you here Mathael inhabitant of a world far beyond the stars." She said it aloud so that everyone could hear her. This made the nobles confused as to what they just heard.

Luna saw the confused faces of the nobles and said, "What you all have heard is no lie my friends and subjects. Our guest of honor does not come from a country nor reign on Equis. He hails from a planet far far away from the stars and has seen worlds many times more dangerous than our home. This is the true reason for the title of the guest of honor." The nobles were now shocked to hear that a being has come here from another planet.

Luna then said, "We know that you all have many questions for our guest. However, we request that you all refrain from asking them, so that we may partake in tonight's festivities. Now, let's all move into the ballroom and let the Grand Galloping Gala commence."

With that, all the guests went inside while casting a curious glance at Mathael.

Play this musicfor the Gala.

Inside the ballroom, The girls walked away to mind their own business, but said would return soon While Mathael and Darkness stayed together. Spike and the fillies were moving around the ballroom with excitement. Mathael saw the room and was impressed beautiful decorated it was. He also saw some tables with food and refreshments and a stage were many musicians who were playing a soothing melody.

Darkness asked."So... how do you like the Gala, Mathael?"

Mathael replied with a smile and said."The Gala just began so I don't want to give my judgment yet, but I am surprised that they were able to finish everything so fast and the music is nice."

Mathael was enjoying this kind of boredom with Darkness. There was no need to be alarmed or to use his power or in short, tonight he was just a normal Stallion... or at least he thought so till Darkness asked him something which made his eyeballs almost explode.

Darkness asked curiously."Mathael? Do you know where the others are? I haven't seen them in a while."

Mathael's heart instantly began to pump as he realized that the events from Don't Get Cocky were only similar, but not all of them were the same. The Girls left which meant that they were doing the canon stuff.

Mathael said nervously."I think I know where they are. Who do you want to talk to first?"

Darkness thought for a moment and said."I was wondering what Twilight was doing."

Mathael nodded and so the two of them walked towards Twilight who was currently busy shaking the hands of so many Ponies that the line went even outside the building. Our favorite couple arrived shortly afterward after a Noble who a bit bulky shook Twilights hand and almost ripped it off.

Darkness asked."Twilight? Why are you shaking the hands of Ponies you don't know instead of having fun?"

Twilight answered with a smile"I know that this is a party, but I and Princess Celestia have to catch up on things."

Mathael looked amused and said."The way I see it is that you are just wasting your youth... Come on Twilight, you can talk with the Princess after the Gala and now enjoy the night. Remember, you're only once young."

Mathael thought.'Well... You're going to stay young a bit longer, but I am not going to spoil it...'

Princess Celestia wanted to catch up with Twilight, but Mathael was right. Twilight would waste this beautiful event with standing here to greet all nobles. The two of them were only able to exchange a few words because of all the new arrivals.

Princess Celestia sighed and said."Twilight... I think you should listen to Mathael. A Pony in your age should enjoy herself and not stand here around."

Twilight said."But Princess..."

Princess Celestia smiled and said."I count on you Twilight." Twilight nodded and walked away. Mathael could've sworn he saw a smile on her face

Mathael then walked to Celestia and whispered in her ear."We have important things to discuss with the leaders after the Party." Princess Celestia nodded and continued her greeting as if nothing happened.

Darkness asked."What did you tell Celestia?"

Mathael said."That there is trouble on the horizon and that the leaders should meet after the Party. ANYWAYS who do you want to do next?"

Darkness said."I am a little bit hungry, do we want to go to the buffet?"

Mathael's smile vanished and said."Believe me... That stuff isn't that good, but I know where we can get something nice to eat. Follow me." Darkness nodded and followed Mathael outside.

Our two Thestrals arrived outside and saw Applejack who looked very sad. Mathael walked up to Applejack and asked."What's wrong Applejack?"

Applejack said."Ah don't know why, but Ah ain't selling anything."

Mathael asked curiously."You do know that there is a buffet inside... right?"

Applejacks eyes shot open as she heard this and slowly began to turn red from anger. She said."So that's why they ain't buying anything. They are just eating their bellies full at their upper-class buffet... how can Ah compete with that?"

Mathael thought for a moment till a lightbulb appeared above his head... literally. He used his reality warping powers to create a bit of Melk Stardust from TGW and put it in a salt dispenser before showing it to Applejack.

Applejack asked."What is that weird gold glowing dust ya got there Mathael?"

Mathael smiled and said."It's a really, really rare seasoning from another world. Put a bit of this on your food and I promise you, everything will be sold. Be careful, even though that stuff is healthy, it a bit addicting if you put too much on it on your food."

Applejack smiled and said."Thanks, Mathael. By the way, do ya want to buy something?" Mathael smiled and nudged Darkness

Darkness smiled and said."Two pieces of Apple pie, please. On for me and one for Mathael." Applejack nodded, but before she handed over the baked goods, she put carefully a bit of Melk Stardust of the sliced and then handed them over, while Mathael gave her two bits that he created with his magic.

Mathael waited for Darkness so she would take the first bite of it. Only after a few seconds, Darkness began to cry from the sheer overwhelming taste of the apple pie, or rather the Melk Stardust. She said."This is so good~." Darknesses opinion made all Noble outside stare at Applejack's little stand.

Mathael smiled and took a bit too from it and he was so close to screaming 'Yummy!', but was able to contain it and only said."This is the best Pie ever ate." loud enough for all Nobles to make their way toward Applejack.

Applejack then sprinkled the season over her food which not only made it taste really good but also made it sparkle like gold, before returning it to Mathael and selling her food much faster than warm rolls ever could!

Mathael then cleaned his and Darknesses hands with magic and said."We visited two from six and I think I can see Rarity is trying to find her dream Stallion while avoiding Blueblood, which means three are down. Who do you want to visit next."

Darkness was about to say something, but a cold breeze made her shiver, so he gave her his jacked so she wouldn't be cold. Darkness kissed him on the cheek in return which made his face turn tomato red. Darkness was laughing so hard that she actually snorted which made both of them chuckle. Some Nobles glared at them for such an and I quote 'Inappropriate behavior', but he ignored it as this night was supposed to be fun for them.

During their little walk, they saw Fluttershy who looked really like... a lot of everything, but mostly depressed, angry, sad and a hint of madness. Mathael was slowly making his way towards her while not trying to make any sudden movements.

Once he stood ten feet behind her he asked."Fluttershy? Are you ok?"

Fluttershy turned around with a mad expression and said."Ohh I am fine once I have caught these critters and made them LOVE ME!" Mathael was actually completely creeped out an was slowly inhaling and exhaling as he tried to calm himself.

Once he was calm, he used his magic to calm Fluttershy and made her carefully sit down. Darkness and he shortly afterward joined. It only took about 3 minutes until the animals slowly walked out of their hiding places and returned to their normal life. Some even let Fluttershy pet them.

Mathael said while smiling."You can't force a being to love you, Fluttershy. You can only try to show who you really are and let them decide if they like you or if they ignore you."

Fluttershy nodded with a hint of sadness and yet Mathael could feel happiness in her big heart as she patted a chipmunk. She said."I thank you, Mathael."

Mathael was surprised to hear Fluttershy talked in a normal volume. He asked."For what?"

Fluttershy smiled and said."Thanks for supporting me and my friends no matter what mistake we make."

Mathael pulled Fluttershy into a hug and said."Everyone makes mistakes and no one is perfect. It doesn't matter what you are bad at, it only matters what you are good at. Yes, you are often very silent, but you are one of the nicest beings I have seen." Darkness even joined the hud.

Fluttershy was crying while being hugged, but it weren't tears of sadness, no, they were tears of happiness as she realized that no matter what mistake she does her friends would still support her. After Fluttershy calmed down, our Protagonist and his love continued to see what their friends were up to at the moment.

After a few minutes, the two of them entered the castle again and what he saw made him Angry...

A male Pegasus in a full body jumpsuit said."Aren't you getting it? We don't want anything to do with you! So stop annoying me."

Rainbow Dash said."But Soarin, I just wanted to-."

Soaring said."I don't care what you want, leave already. You are never going to be in the Wonderbolts!"

Fleetfoot said."Don't you think you are going a bit too far Soaring?"

SpitFire said."Yeah! Just because you didn't get that Pie doesn't mean you can be meant!"

Once Mathael and Darkness came into vision, he instantly recognized the three voices he heard. The voices belonged to a group of three Pegasus. They were Fleetfoot, Soaring and their captain, Spit Fire

Mathael got their attention by saying."May I know why you are being so mean to my friend?"

Soarin turned his attention towards Mathael and said."And who are you ?"

Mathael thought.'Right. I didn't see the Wonderbolts during the big unnecessary announcement.'

Mathael said."It doesn't matter who I am, Soaring. It only matters that you are causing emotional pain to others. I recommend you to apologize"

Soarin smirked and said."How about you make me. If you can beat me in a race, then I will apologize, but if you lose, then you'll bake me Pie."

Mathael raised an eyebrow, but let it drop in a heartbeat before saying."We have a deal."

Mathael thought.'I know that I could just scare him or use brutal strength, but I am not going to beat someone up because he had a bad day... besides, it's kinda my fault that he didn't get his Pie...'

Soaring smirked and said."Alright. First one to circle mount Canterlot wins. 3,2,1 go!" The Wonderbolt pretty much said the entire countdown within one second.

Darkness asked."Mathael. The race already started."

Mathael smiled and said."I am just giving him a small headstart... Ok, time to crush his hope and dreams, bye!" Mathael suddenly shot into the air with such speed that he was gone within one moment. The Wonderbolts, Fleetfoot, and Spitfire, had their jaws on the ground as they never seen anyone be so fast that he would be just gone.

Darkness chuckled from this view and said."Don't worry. You get used to it no you don't." she whispered the last part.

Soarin was smiling as he could already taste his victory Pie, but his hopes and dreams were crushed as he saw Mathael who was flying with his back down saluted him when he was just a few inches away from his face. The sheer force of Mathael's backwind was enough to throw him out of his flying rhythm and forced him to stop for a few moments to not fall from the sky.

Once Soarin regained control, he flew as fast as he could towards the finish, which only took a moment, but when he reached the end of the race, his eyes bulged. Mathael was sitting on the ground while drinking tea with his team! The worst part was that he even pulled out a pie that had a golden glow around it from nowhere!

The Moment Soarin landed, he walked up to Rainbow Dash and said with a sight."I am sorry for being mean to you." What Soarin didn't expect was A) a hug from Rainbow Dash and B) A plate on which was a slice of apple pie from Mathael.

Mathael said with a smile."Eat up Soarin. You must be hungry."

Soaring was flabbergasted by this. He asked with a stunned expression."But I lost! Why are you giving me a slice of pie?"

Mathael chuckled and answered."You are not a bad Pony, Soarin. You are just not yourself when you are hungry and I was sure you wouldn't want a snicker, so I gave you a slice of pie."

Soarin walked up to Mathael and sat beside him. The male Wonderbolt than gladly accepted mathael's offer and ate the slice as if it was his last... or at least like the best pie on this world which it was for him consider the rather... disturbing sounds he made while eating...

After they ate the king of all pies and our Protagonist teleported a few bits into Apple Jacks cashbooks. Mathael even made three new friends just by showing the magic of friendship... It was almost too easy for his taste as he liked a challenge, not that he would decline to make new friends. Our beloved Bat Pony couple (Also the only one) the walked back inside again as Mathael wanted to what Pinkie Pie was up to.

Darkness asked."I knew that after this day a few things would change, but this is just wow. You made friends with a jerk, what comes next? You, Shining Armor and Blueblood become best buddies?"

Mathael almost laughed upon hearing this and replied."I see a slight difference between a real jerk and a guy who had a bad day because of me."

Darkness raised an eyebrow and asked."What do you mean with that? How were you responsible for his bad mood?"

Mathael explained."You must see the grand scheme of thing Darkness. If I wouldn't have given Applejack the Melk Stardust, she would've had plenty of Pies left thus, Soarin wouldn't have a reason to be angry."

Darkness stared at Mathael with widened eyes and said."Wow... You are really smart."

Mathael smiled and said."Scientifically speaking my brain has the efficiency of a supercomputer."

Darkness looked confused and asked."What is a comp-utter?"

Mathael chuckled and answered."A computer is a machine that can calculate really fast. A super Computer, on the other hand, is on a new level of science and brain power. A super Computer is able to calculate as much as 6 billion humans with calculators do in 1000 years on a single day! Also, a Human is several times smarter than the average Pony, probably more than I would like to admit."

Darkness looked like as if her brain cracked from this much information. After she came back to reality, she said."And you say you would be a bad ruler and yet you know about all that stuff."

Mathael frowned and said."It's more about me not wanting to become king and trying to find a way to evade this problem. I am a warrior, a magician, and a gentle colt, but a ruler? No thank you."

Suddenly a smile spread across Darknesses face and said in a teasing and yet evil tone."So you rather want Blueblood to become king?" Suddenly there was a white blinding light that, once it faded, revealed Mathael, who was disguised as Blueblood who held a scepter and wore a crown and cape.

Mathael who was disguised as Blueblood said."Bow to your king, peasant." Mathael then turned back with another white flash and shuddered from the mere thought of it becoming true. He added."On second thought... I keep becoming king in mind"

Darkness smiled as she heard that Equestria future was saved, but her smile fell as she saw what was happening inside. She asked with a forced smile."Ehm... Mathael? I think Pinkie doesn't understand what kind of party this is."

Mathael was about to say that everything was fine as he knew that if things would happen eight, then Blueblood would eat cake with his entire body... Ewww! Cake with Blueblood filling, I will never get rid of that picture in my head! It burns! Where's the bleach?!

Darkness raised an eyebrow and asked."Mathael, is something wrong?"

Mathael said while trying to not vomit."I was just imagining Blueblood who was hit by a cake, but then I somehow imagined pastry with Blueblood filling..."

Darkness crossed her arms and shuddered in disgust. She said."I think I find this thought even scarier than undead."

Mathael nodded and said with a serious expression."Darkness. Nothing is as scary as a Blueblood surprise cake."

The two of them shared a good laugh. He wasn't disgusted by himself as he would've no trouble with telling it in Blueblood’s face while only damn cocky bastards try to act like nothing happened

Once the two of them calmed, they entered the castle again, but Mathael's happiness instantly vanished as he remembered that Applejack probably sold everything by now which meanstno embarrassed Blueblood

Mathael thought while he sighed quietly.'Well,... at least Pinkie is having fun, wait what is she doing? Is she dancing?'

Indeed. Pinkie was currently busy with dancing like a jackhammer as she jumped and hit the wooden floor of the tribune again and again, which made Mathael's senses make him feel as if something bad was going to happen.

*Crack*

*Thud*

the tribune's wooden pillars that held the structure together broke and the edge of the stage hit a table. On the table was a really big chocolate berry cake that got catapulted into the air and was flying towards the door. Suddenly the door opened and Blueblood walked through it! Christmas came early!

Blueblood sadly saw the huge flying pastry of death coming towards him and grabbed the next best Pony to his left which was... you gotta be kidding me... Rarity.

Mathael sighed in both anger and disappointment. That Bastard was going to use a Mare as a meatshield to save his face that a mother could only not smash in and declined him the happiness of seeing karma doing Its work! Mathael materialized two Chaos Saber, which caused most Nobles around him to run away in fear, and Charged toward the delicious missile.

Mathael ran through the crowds, but at some point, there were too many Ponies in his way, so he jumped at a wall and used Wallride to surface on the walls while keeping one hand and his feet on the vertical surface to evade the obstacles.

Wall Ride
Mathael is able to Wallride on almost any vertical surface as long as the texture of the object isn't too uneven.

Once Mathael came in the range of the sugary projectile, Mathael jumped in the cakes direction and swung his swords. The Nobles, who saw what Mathael was doing, thought that they saw some shiny things moving through the cake.

*Shhiiinnnnggg*

*Thud*

Mathael cut with his swords so fast that no one could even see what was happening. After he cut the cake, he landed on the ground with a loud *Thud* which somehow caused the Cake to fall apart into many perfectly cut slices of sugary delight. He then unsummoned his Chaos Sabers

Mathael then quickly used his Hair Sensors to grab many plates from all table around him and caught the falling pieces before they hit the floor. The Noble were confused as they didn't see a magical aura around the plates and were wondering why Mathael's fur was moving so weird.

Mathael thought in realization.'Wait a minute! My entire body is covered in hair, how many Hair Sensors do I have then?'

After Mathael had caught all pieces, he put them on all table nearby so everyone could taste his little stunt. Mathael then turned around and looked at Blueblood with a scowl. Blueblood saw this and randomly threw Rarity away and walked to Mathael with his nose in the clouds
Mathael said angrily."You damn prick dare to use a Mare as a meatshield?!? You are the lowest lifeform I have ever seen and you should be sorry for doing something so disgusting!"

Blueblood said in a scandalous tone."Pah! Commoners should be- *Crack* - What was that!?"

Mathael was surprised to hear a weird cracking sound too as if stone cracked-... Oh oh... Mathael turned around and saw in horror that the pillars in the room were about to fall down like a bunch of dominos! Mathael quickly spread his legs and clapped his hand together. He then made some hand signs and ended with a loud *Clap*. He then shouted Shadow Clone Jutsu

*Poof* *Poof* *Poof*

Suddenly, out of nowhere, appeared 20 Mathael's that all ran toward the pillars that were falling down and tried their best to stabilize the ceiling.

The Mathael's reacted fast and two clones per pillar were enough to stop the domino effect, but it was already too late as many cracks appeared on the ceiling that all traveled to the tribune! The musicians saw this and instantly jumped out of the half-destroyed structure, but one gray Pony with black hair wasn't running away. Mathael looked closer and saw that the Pony was Octavia and her dress was stuck between the planks!

*Crack*

Mathael's eyes widened in shock as the Cracks formed a circle directly above Octavia and caused the ceiling to fall apart above her. Mathael used Deep Tunnel as fast as he could to burrow into the ground and dug with extreme speed through the marble to avoid the damn Noble who just had to watch and not go out of the way. He was actually considering to never let the smartphone to be ever invented on this world.

Octavia has been trying to her best to rip off the piece of cloth that was keeping her in the hug of death, but it had no avail. The cloth was not just any material, it was made to never be damaged and she couldn't use her full strength as her corset was far to tight around her abdomen. She tried one more strong tug as the last pull as she was already Hyperventilating and she could already see blackness on the corners of her eyes.

*Thud*

She applied too much force and fell t the ground, forced to see a huge marble boulder fall from the ceiling to squash her. Her eyes teared as she still wanted to do so much in life. The few seconds were the rock came closer felt like hours, but her shocked state was ended as a hand shot out of the ground and stopped the boulder. Slowly a huge black figure rose from the ground that gave her a warm smile. It was too much for her and she fainted.

Mathael was happy that he was able to save her, but many more cracks already started to appear on the ceiling. He could see the Princess rush in with a shocked expression as they saw that the whole room was slowly falling apart. Mathael wasn't able to use chaos magic as the procedure would be too complex in such a short amount of time, but then he would need to reveal his horn! Suddenly an idea popped into his head.

He screamed in his thought.'Erebus a little help would be nice! Can you tell me if I can use my magic without having to reveal my horn?!'

Erebus replied quickly and said.'Yes, the horn is just the strongest bone in the body of a Unicorn, Alicorn and even yours. You just have to find out how to channel your magic in your hands, just make sure you're bones are strong enough!'

With the newly acquired information, Mathael used his virus to harden his bones to the level of his horn and channeled his magic in his arms which was very easy considering how much chaos magic he used even though these two kinds of power are vastly different. Suddenly both of his arms were surrounded by a black magical aura.

Mathael smiled as he slowly lifted his free hand up which caused all cracks to slowly, but surely repair themselves till they were as good as new. After the Ponies were safe, he gave the boulder that he held in the air a little push which caused it to fly up in the air. He then used his magic to place the big piece of marble in the right spot and repaired the entire ceiling within moments.

Mathael smiled as he just saved the Ponies Sadly the ones he disliked too and prevented the canceling of the party. His smile fell as he looked down and saw that Octavia was barely breathing. He crouched down and put his ear in front of her mouth to hear if she was still getting air. She did, but it was barely anything.

Mathael quickly ignited a black psi-blade that he could use even without his gauntlet as he had Naruds DNA. He then used the blade to *Shing* cut open the corset.
Octavia's belly slowly began to rise and sink at a slow pace. Mathael could already see that she was getting more air this way. He ignored the gasps of the Nobles and their comments as he was too busy saving her. Mathael then snapped his fingers to repair her dress and continued to save this poor soul.

Mathael then puts both of his palms on her chest, which earned him even more gasps, and used his CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) skills to help this Mare. Mathael then pressed carefully where her heart should be about thirty times, before inhaling air and blowing it into her lungs by doing mouth to mouth ventilation.

Mathael repeated this for about three times till he could hear a loud and deep gasp for air. Octavia looked like if she heard that Santa Stallion wasn't real. She looked at her surroundings with great interest while ignoring everything that was mumbled and said during those few moments.

Mathael asked with a gentle voice and a smile on his face."Miss Octavia, are you ok?" Mathael got his answer in the form of a kiss on the lips and a smile.

Octavia said quietly with a smile."Thanks for saving me."

Suddenly a voice boomed in the crowd."Octi! Are you ok? I heard a lot of rumbling and I thought you- Heh... I always thought you would marry a violin player."

The Pony who apparently knew Octavia had a white coat and dark blue hair with streaks of light blue that went through her rather punky hair. The most memorable detail though was her big pair of glasses that hid her naturally red irises. Mathael's eyes were so good that he could look through the glasses

Octavia answered in embarrassment."Vinyl! I said I didn't want to marry yet. Besides, you can't expect every Stallion I met to play the violin!"

Mathael helped Octavia up and said."Actually, I can play Violin."

Vinyl Scratch said out loud."I can already hear the bells bang on the marriage." The Dj ignored Mathael's hand sign warning and simply continued with all the plans she could already see. Sadly she didn't notice the Bat Mare that slowly walked behind her

Darkness whispered dangerously and slowly in her ear."I'll make it clear, Punk. This Stallion is mine. I am his first Mare and I if you don't want to kiss the ground then I recommend you to stop your 'Jokes' now, as I am going to marry him first..."

Mathael was actually scared of his apparently future wife as he could every word she whispered thanks? To his Superhuman Hearing. He gulped as he didn't know what to fear more. Darkness ripping apart any Mare who wanted to 'take' him from her or his own life which was impressive considering that he was almost impossible to kill for the 'normal' Pony.

Vinyl said fearfully with shaking knees."I-I am going to- to go out-outside. Bye!" the moment she finished her sentence, the Mare was gone and only left behind a small dust cloud.

Mathael sighed and said."Darkness. That wasn't necessary."

Darkness tilted her head to the right closed her eyes and smiled while saying."Oh, it was."

Mathael thought.'I am officially creeped out!'

Princess Celestia then said in a loud tone."I wish for everyone to leave the room for a few moments. I hope you have understanding for that, my little Ponies."

Our Protagonist was honestly surprised how fast the Nobles were leaving the room. They really saw Celestia as her goddess... or at least some did as one damn Prick remained!

Blueblood said."Aunty! This Demon almost killed us all! You have to get rid of it!"

Mathael screamed out loud."I have enough of you!. I can bear if you hate me, insult me or even try to kill me, but this goes too far. You not only tried to use Rarity as a meatshield, no, you almost killed us all by pushing her away like yesterday junk! I'll say this one more time! If I ever catch you or any other Noble, that is listening to my voice, mistreating a so-called 'commoner' then I'll take things into my personal hands, even if I have to start the Equestrian revolution!"

A Noble raised his hand behind him. Mathael saw this thanks to his Byakugan. He answered."Every world I have seen had this one thing alway in common. If the Noble ones treat the hard working non-royal like dirt for too long then they'll one day rise against the rich ones. I have seen it many times happen, I often warned the damn ruler, but they never listened to me and in the end, they died to the hand of the so-called 'lower Ponies'! Heck, I often even supported the revolution and I can tell you one thing, Blueblood. If there's one thing you don't want then it's me as your enemy!"

Blueblood said in disgust."You dare to talk like this to me!? I am a prince and future ruler of Equestria. I will not listen to you any longer, Demon."

Mathael screamed."You actually believe a title would save you from me? A title is only worth something if your people believe that it's actually worth something, but you made the title prince worthless you damn you, spoiled arrogant child! I'll promise you something, Blueblood, you will never become King as A) Your aunts are immortal and B) Even if I had to erase the day you would become King, I would do it because you are not worthy of that title!"

Blueblood's face was completely red as he screamed in rage."I am a prince and I can do whatever I want with the commoner! They will see me as their King or they'll pay the consequences for it."

The Princesses screamed together."Blueblood! By the power that was given to us, we take away your title of prince of Equestria till you deemed yourself worthy of it."

Blueblood said in an not so sure voice anymore."What? You can't do this to me! I am Prince, I am your nephew! Why are you supporting that Abomination in the first place?!"

Princess Luna said."We do not care what Mathael is, we don't care how he chooses his words, nor are we caring about the way he looks. We only care about what his words mean and he has so far only worried about others while you only cared for yourself."

Princess Celestia said."I am sorry Blueblood, but this time you went too far. Guards, please escort Blueblood to his mansion." a pair of Guards then slowly made their way towards the ex-Prince

Blueblood said as he was apparently losing his mind."Stay away from me you filthy lower Nobles! Do you not know who I am?!"

The Pair of Guards said in an emotionless tone."No, but we know who you were."

Blueblood tried to fight the Guards as they gripped his arms, but he lost badly as he was just too used to the life of a spoiled child. Mathael felt actually sorry for... the Guards as they had to bare his annoying talk while he was carried outside.

Mathael just stood there with a slightly open mouth and said."I... I didn't expect you to make Blueblood a normal Pony, not that I would complain."

The Princesses sighed and said."We had to do what had to be done, Mathael. Blueblood was getting out of control and we wished we could make him a 'normal' Pony, but that will not work if he doesn't see his mistakes. We are sorry for getting you involved in this."

Mathael nodded and said."There is nothing to apologize for, Princess. I think I forgot the option of simply putting him to sleep, instead of arguing with him over something so childish, in my moment of... anger."

Princess Luna smiled at him and said."No, if he didn't 'erupt' today then he would've done it on another. It was good that we could see the Pony behind the mask so we could interfere before it would be too late."

Mathael nodded and asked."Do you think Blueblood will survive the life of a 'normal' Pony?"

Princess Celestia sighed and said."Although Blueblood is no longer a Prince, at the moment, he is still a noble."

Mathael said with a bored expression and a monotone tone."Understood". Mathael then realized that they were alone in the hall and asked."Why have you two exactly emptied the hall?"

The Princesses smiled and walked away from another, revealing a smaller Alicorn that was about 8 feet tall with a pink coat and a purple and magenta striped mane. The new Pony asked."Hello Mathael, It's a pleasure to meet."

Mathael smiled and answered."It's a pleasure for me to meet you too, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza."

The Princesses were surprised that Mathael knew her and asked."Mathael, how do you know Cadence? We didn't tell anyone she would be present."

Mathael smiled slyly and answered."Ohh, I just did my homework." Mathael then turned his attention towards Cadence and asked."Though, there is one thing I would like to know. How did you become the Princess of love?"

Cadence smiled and said."I became the Princess of love and ascended by helping a couple with their relationship problems. Why do you ask?"

Mathael looked at the Princesses as he was waiting for an answer if he could tell it. The Princesses thought a moment before nodding. He then turned his attention back to Cadence. He asked."Simple, my mother was the Demon Lordess of Love and I wanted I was curious how you were able to acquire this title at such a young age."

The Princess looked a bit shocked and asked."Demon Lordess...?"

Mathael chuckled and said."I am not exactly a Pony, rather a demon-angel hybrid that just looks like one." Mathael's eyes suddenly glowed red in a non-threatening way and made stings out of light grow out of his wings by using his Archangel DNA

The Princesses and Darkness looked at his light show for a few moments in breathlessness till Mathael turned back to his normal state. Mathael chuckled as he could see stars in Cadence's eyes.

Cadence said."I can't believe it. I have the chance to see how beings from other realms love! This is so exciting!" Cadence learned so far forward that Mathael actually had to bend his back backward

Mathael said as he was taken back by this reaction."I think I know now where Twilight got her talent for excitement..."

Cadence smile faded ass she realized one thing with her talent to sense love. She asked."Mathael, why is your heart so small?"

Mathael said in an emotionless tone."That- I would rather not talk about it. ANYWAYS, I have brought a special guest as well."

Mathael sends a psionic message to Thunder Spark which sated.'Thunder Spark, would you mind to come into the main hall? I would like to show you someone.'

Thunder Spark thought curiously.'Okay...?'

Mathael took it as a yes snapped his fingers. Suddenly Thunder Spark appeared with Starry Swirl who held his hand. Thunder asked."Ehm... Mathael? I didn't think you would mean it this way."

Mathael chuckled and said."I am sorry, but I am dying to introduce your real you to someone."

Thunder Spark raised an eyebrow before he turned around and saw three Alicorns behind him. He instantly began to sweat bullets and asked."H-hello, P-Princesses."

Princess Celestia asked."Greetings my little Pony, may I know your name?"

Thunder Spark answered shakingly."T-thunder S-Spark."

Princess Luna asked."Not to be rude, but why did you call him your special guest?"

Mathael smiled and asked Thunder."You can drop the disguise, Thunder. They are not going to attack you."

The Princesses were confused as for why Mathael's guest would fear them to attack him. Suddenly Thunder Spark combusted into green fires that washed over his body. Once the fire died out, the Princesses were surprised at what they saw.

Mathael explained."Thunder Spark is a Changeling that was there when that day happened. I healed his wounds and we became friends. Changelings can not only disguise themselves as most creatures but also can eat love without harming the being from where they got their meal."

The Princesses understood what he meant and nodded in understanding and yet excitement that they stood face to face with a new unknown race. Cadence, on the other hand, took it a step further and hugged the Changeling in excitement. Suddenly a purple stream of love flow from her body towards Thunder's' mouth. There was so much love that Thunder actual had to give Cadence a little nudge as he was close to burst

Cadence instantly backed away and apologized."Oh, I am sorry. I didn't think that it would be so much."

Thunder was breathing heavily as he was just too full from all that love and sat on the ground as he couldn't even stand anymore.

Mathael smiled at the cute sight of an exhausted Thunder Spark and snapped his fingers which compressed the absorbed love so he wouldn't be lying on the ground for the entire evening. With Thunders new gained ability to stand, he used his magic to disguised himself back into a Pony.

Mathael then asked."I think you can let the guests back in, Princesses."

The Princesses nodded and Luna said in her royal voice."Dear guest, the hall is public once again!"

Celestia said in a slightly annoyed tone."Sister, please refrain yourself from using the royal voice as it is only appropriate if you use it on a large group of Ponies and not in closed rooms where the sound is actually deafening."

Princess Luna blushed in embarrassment and said shyly."Sorry."

And like this, the hordes of Nobles walked back into the hall almost as if nothing happened. Mathael was about to go back to his love, but then he suddenly heard someone talk, bad to a certain Griffon, thanks to his Superhuman Hearing.

A yet unknown being said in an angry tone."So, you think you can just run away with the murderer of Black Beak? I will arrest you for betraying us!"

Mathael heard enough and used Soru to appear between Gilda and the bad mouthing bastard. When he reappeared, he received a *Shing* splash to the eyeball which only made the attacker's claws break off.

Mathael was not angry that he was attacked, no, he was Pissed that someone dared to try and hurt one of his friends. He glared down at the attacker and saw a Griffon that looked a lot like... Black Beak.

The being that reminded Mathael of Black Beak said in a really pissed tone."Stay out of this. This between me and her."

Mathael asked in an emotionless and calm tone."And who are you to attack my friends?"

The Griffon said in an so prideful tone that it sickened Mathael."I am King Black Wing, son of Black Beak, murderer. I am merely here to give that traitorous a bit of Griffon Justice."

Mathael raised an eyebrow and asked."You and I don't understand the same thing under justice, Black Wing. What you are calling 'justice' is merely an attempt to force others to your will. She didn't hurt anyone in any way so there is no need for your kind of punishment." Gilda was taken back that Mathael would defend her from her brother that she was beginning to feel embarrassed.

Mathael could hear her emotions and think.'Right... I forgot that's her brother a bad brother, but still her brother'

Black Beak screamed in an angry tone."You dare to talk to me like this?! Me, the new ruler of Griffonstone?!?! You will go out of my way or this will mean war!"

The guest gasped in shock, but Mathael only chuckled which made some Nobles slowly walk away. Mathael said."I didn't think someone could even get so power insane in such a small amount of time. I have no problem with you not liking me, but to get to my friends you have to go through me! I will not allow you to wage war, in fact, no Griffon soldier will even come close to Equestria as I am going to protect it. Your soldiers are scattered after my first visit, I know that, and the huge amount of destruction I created forced your kingdom to spend their money carefully. You'll only doom yourself by starting a war."

Black Wing was fulfilled with rage and fury as his eyes looked like close to explode! He screamed with furry! I will take you back to Griffonstone and have you become a slave! You will spend the res-mmmppp!?"

Mathael has been listening to this brat for a while as he kept on saying shit about things but when he said that he would enslave Gilda, then that was it. His anger escalated and in an instant, he shot his right hand towards Black Wing's face and shut his beak with his thumb and index finger. The others were shocked to see that, especially Black Wing. He tried to free his beak from Mathael's grip but he could not even budge his hand had a strong grip on his beak.

Mathael's pupils now not only glowed red, no, a fire of pure hatred ignited that shined so bright that Black Wings face was completely lit up. Mathael slowly pulled the arrogant bastard closer to him without even giving the Griffon a slither of a chance to escape.

Mathael then said in a demonic voice."Did you just say in my face that slavery is allowed in Griffonstone? I'll only say this once, Black Wing. You will change things for the better in Griffonstone into a better place for everyone, not just your mad fantasies. If you decline, then I will not only burn down everything you care about, no, I will challenge you to a rak'shir, or in your language, a duel. In this fight, two beings fight until one dies to a very painful death in the sacrificing pits"

Mathael could see how strong Black Wing was sweating as he was forced to stare into the same soul piercing eyes that crushed Griffonstone’s best warriors without bothering. He even gave up to struggle as he realized that he was at the Ponies mercy. His heart almost jumped as the genocidal Thestral let go of his beak. In a heartbeat, he flapped his wings as fast he could to get away from Mathael.

Mathael stared at the exit that Black Wing for a few moments while slowly calming his burning hatred. Mathael could her many conversations from behind of him, but the quietest of all of them, the one that was also the shortest, had the biggest impact on him.

Gilda said softly."Thanks, Mathael."

Mathael turned around with a smile and said."No need to thank me, Gilda. I defend my friends no matter against who or what."

The Princesses smiled at his will to protect who he cared for. Princess Cadence was looking at at the girls and noticed how much love Darkness emitted for him, but surprised her was that Luna glowed with the energy of love too. When she looked at Mathael, she was surprised to see huge amounts of love aura emitting from him towards Darkness and Luna. She smiled that he truly loved them and will do anything to protect them.

Later on, the group met a male yak, Prince Rutherford of the kingdom of Yakyakistan and a male Minotaur, King Iron Hoof from the Minotaur kingdom.

Prince Rutherford

King Iron Hoof

These two were engaged in a drinking contest. Besides these two, there were a group of nobles on the ground and were holding their stomach and were moaning with pain. What happened to these nobles. Mathael curiously approached them and started a conversation.

Mathael said, "Greetings, would you mind to tell me what happened to these Nobles?" He pointed to the nobles on the ground.

Prince Rutherford said, "Ha. These are ponies with weak stomachs. They can't drink my Kingdom's special drink, Cold Breeze." He drank another one.

Iron Hoof said after finishing his drink, "Indeed. You will need to have a strong gut to stomach this kind of drink. Haha."

Pinkie Pie said, "Oh. A drink. I want some." She then zipped to the table and drank down an entire drink with a single gulp. After drinking, Pinkie was standing still. Then after a few seconds, her body started to twitch in some places and then her entire body vibrated like an engine and then suddenly, she jumped high into the air and shouted, "This is the best drink ever!!" and began to drink another.

Rutherford and Iron Hoof were surprised to see her drinking this stuff with ease and started to laugh. Mathael wasn't worried that drink would hurt her as he A) knew the future and B) it's Pinkie if there's one Pony that could survive something like that, then It's her.

Rutherford said, "Pink pony impress me. Not many can stand to down this strong stuff."

Iron Hoof took a drink and handed it to Mathael and said, "Why don't you drink as well. Maybe you will like it."

Mathael was getting a bit thirsty with all the talking, so he accepted the drink and said, "Don't mind if I do." With that, he drank it and found out why it was such a strong drink. As the liquid pass through his intestines, it felt like his insides were being frozen. Almost like getting a frostbite. That's why the drink is called Cold Breeze. However, due to his Caribou King DNA, he was immune to any type of cold, his Dragon DNA heated up his insides to melt the ice and lastly his Jim Raynor DNA prevented him getting drunk.

After Mathael swallowed his drink, he said, "Hmmm. A little bit strong and feeling a bit cold on the inside but overall, it's delicious."

Rutherford and Iron Hoof were shocked to see him drinking the strong stuff like it was nothing. Rutherford laughed and said, "Amazing. Not one but two ponies have managed to drink Cold Breeze. Come. We greet you like strong yaks do."

Rutherford stood up and walked closer to Mathael and then gave him a crushing embrace. He said, "This is how we greet the strong ones. I welcome a strong one like you, Mathael, to pay a visit to my kingdom Yakyakistan. See our glorious kingdom with the beauty of ice and snow."

Mathael smiled and gave him a strong hug as well. He was liking this Rutherford fellow who seems like a great one. He said, "I will be happy to visit your kingdom in the future, my friend."

Rutherford was first shocked but then started to laugh. He said, "This is amazing. I, Rutherford, the prince of Yakyakistan have made a strong friend. And others say that I couldn't do it."

This made everyone laugh. Iron Hoof looked at Mathael with a sad face and said, "Mathael. Princesses. I would like to apologize to you what the griffin king and others force you to do. I didn't want to resort to doing that but I had no choice. I was so desperate to find some sort of defense against the monsters near my kingdom. They have been attacking my Kingdom for some time now and have captured my citizens as well."

The princesses and the girls were shocked to hear that. They were angry that he took part in forcing the princesses to hand over the bearers of Elements of Harmony but now that they heard his side of the story, their anger disappeared. Mathael wasn't surprised to hear that as he already knew it, but it was something unusual for a strong Minotaur to actually apologizing to someone as they are stubborn and prideful.

Mathael wanted to make sure that things are the way they are 'suppose' to be. He asked, "If your kingdom was in danger from the monsters, then why didn't you ask the princesses or any other to aid you in your time of need?"

The girls and princesses wanted to hear that and waited for his answer. Iron Hoof said, "As you may have known, we Minotaurs are .... well you can call us prideful. We are strong and stubborn and have always been. I too was strong and due to my pride, I refused to ask for anyone's help. But in the past, my kingdom has been heavily attacked by the monsters and they are cutting through my kingdoms defense day by day. I knew that if something is not done sooner then my Kingdom will fall to the monsters and I can't have that. I love my kingdom and my citizens enough to make me do anything. Even forced me to agree with the other kings with the tournament. I am extremely ashamed with what I have done and ask for forgiveness from all of you. Please help me and my kingdom. Don't let my city fall to the dreaded monsters and have my citizens enslaved by them." he bowed his head before the princesses, the girls, and Mathael.

This shocked them to see a king bowing in front of them and asking for forgiveness. Mathael was getting uneasy with him bowing in front of him. He didn't need to check if he was lying as he already knew what would happen.

Mathael then surprises everyone by giving him a hug and said, "I forgive you, Iron Hoof. You were just looking out for your citizens. You were put into a position many have been put through before. You didn't have a choice and choose the one that may hurt you but save your kingdom in return." He then looked at Iron Hoof face and said, "I will be making a visit to your kingdom in a few days and see what I can do. But on one condition."

The girls and princesses were surprised to hear him forgive the Minotaur king just like that. They thought that he would have pummeled him into the ground but they were wrong. He can forgive someone if they were forced to do something that they didn't want to do. This made the girls and the princesses happy that Mathael is not only strong but kind as well and can forgive those who deserve it.

Iron Hoof was really shocked to have been forgiven by the one who could literally tear him to pieces. He never thought that Mathael would not only forgive him but also do something about the monsters attack. He was ready to give anything he asked for if it means that his kingdom would be saved from the monsters.

Iron Hoof said, "Anything. Just name it. As long as it will save my kingdom, I am willing to give you anything. Even my life."

Mathael smiled and said, "I just want you and your kingdom to be allies and good friends with Equestria. That's all." This way, Equestria will gain a friend and an ally as well.

The girls, princesses, and Iron Hoof were surprised that he simply asked for that. He could have asked for anything but he just asked for a friendly relationship between the Minotaur kingdom and Equestria. He does not possess greed or want to exploit others when they are weak. He will look after them and protect them.^

Mathael already knew the text that stood in Don't Get Cocky and thought.'I am not asking for anything because you have nothing I need...'

Iron Hoof had tears falling from his eyes. He was ready to pay any price in order to save his kingdom. Even his life but Mathael just asked for friendly relations with Equestria was something he never expected to hear from someone like him. He hugged Mathael and said, "Thank you Mathael. Thank you. You have no idea how a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulder. If you can save my kingdom, then I will give you my word that the Minotaurs warriors will become your and the princesses allies."

This made everyone happy but was interrupted by a female voice saying, "May I have the courtesy of meeting Mathael?"

Everyone looked at the new voice and saw that it was an 8 feet tall female dragon.

Mathael asked, "Yes I am Mathael. May I ask who you are?"

The female dragon said, "My name is Ember. I am the dragon princess, daughter of the Dragon King Torch. I have come here to meet you Mathael."

Mathael nodded and said, "It's pleasure to meet, may I ask why you came to see me?"

Ember frowned a bit and said, "If what I have heard about you is true then I have come to ask for your help with my kingdom with monster problems."

Celestia asked, "Wait. Aren't you dragons able to fight against the monsters with ease due to your warriors' strength and size?"

Ember shook her head and said, "We were able to easily squash them with no effort but in the past, they have some sort of weapons. Or you can call them beings made up of flesh and metal. They are able to brush off dragon breath easily and can go toe to toe with our dragon warriors. Even though they are only 20-foot tall beings but they pack quite the strength to hurt and even kill our dragon warriors." Zecora became a bit stiff when she heard about the being of flesh and metal. Mathael knew that she possess knowledge about the golems, but he was surprised to hear that they would be on this world as well.

Everyone was shocked to hear that the monsters possess weapons that could even go against the mighty dragons. However, the one most shocked was none other than Mathael. He knew about the existence of the Golems, but they weren't supposed to be here! These monsters were very powerful and were a mystery even for him. He did know however that these Golems and their leader must be slaves to the Corruption. It didn't matter as he was much more powerful than Asura and should be able to win.

Mathael said, "I may know what those being are that your warriors fought, princesses Ember."

Ember and the girls were surprised to hear that he actually fought those things. Ember asked, "You did? What are they? Did you win? How did you beat them? Do they have any weakness at all? Please, I need to know."

Mathael said, "Calm down princess Ember. Yes, I know what those things are, but I fought a much more powerful version of them. I do however know a few things about the Golems that you are fighting against and If you want to know more about them, then I would like to request for you to meet me after the Gala is over " He then looked at Rutherford, Iron Hoof, Celestia, Luna, Fancy Pants, Fleur and the girls and said, "I want all of you to meet me after the Gala as well."

Luna asked, "Why do you want all of us to meet you? Ember is the one who wants to know about those things."

Mathael said, "This may be important information I have discovered and I was going to discuss it with you after the Gala anyway. So having the rest of you there will help as well."

They all agreed to meet him after the Gala. They continued their talk for the rest of the Gala and Fleur asked him a question.

Fleur asked, "Mathael. Do you play any musical instruments?"

Luna gushed about that."Mathael is not only an excellent musician but also has a beautifully soft and smooth voice."

Fleur was now interested and asked, "Can we hear your music as well Mathael?"

Mathael looked around and saw that the girls and princesses wanted to hear his music as well. He smiled and said, "Okay Fleur. I will play some music for you girls."

Mathael then went to the musical stage and looked over the many instruments to choose from. He then remembered Octavia's wish for a bit of Violin play, so he walked up to one and picked it up. He then quickly adjusted it and used his Gaster Power to create many flying hands that grabbed many instruments. The Nobles were confused as for why there suddenly appeared flying hands out of nowhere.

Mathael looked over the room and saw that all the nobles had their attention on him. He said through a mic, "Greetings to all of you. I am going to perform a musical note for Fleur who has asked me to play some music from my world. First I like to explain to you why there are so many hands around me, simple, I control each and every one of them so I can play an entire orchestra alone. I hope you enjoy.

Mathael then looked at the Violin and began to play a beautiful Violin Solo

Mathael had his eyes closed the entire time as he was enjoying the melody just too much to spare even a slither of his focus to his viewers. When he opened his eyes again, he saw many Nobles who looked stunned by his breathtaking performance, some even with tears in their eyes. Mathael let his eyes travel as he wanted to see Octavias reaction the most and he found her in the audience. She looked as if she just saw something so beautiful that it made her forget where she was as she like like she daydreamed while listening.

Mathael said with a smile."I know this song was a little short, but the next one will be a little longer and I will have lyrics in it."

Mathael closed his eyes again to focus on the lyrics and began to play and sing Radioactive

Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa

I'm waking up to ash and dust
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust
I'm breathing in the chemicals

I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Whoa

I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive

I raise my flags, don my clothes
It's a revolution, I suppose
We'll paint it red to fit right in
Whoa

I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Whoa
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive

All systems go, the sun hasn't died
Deep in my bones, straight from inside

Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive

The Nobles were moving along the rhythm with their legs and hips. Even the Princesses couldn't stop themselves from moving a little to the song

Mathael slowly opened his eyes again and saw how many Noble looked at him in excitement and yet sadness as the music was already over. Mathael said."Next, I am going to play a song that will hopefully calm your nerves."

Mathael closed his eyes again and began to play ikuto's violin song

This time Mathael surprised the nobles with playing something soothing that calmed their minds as they listened to his wonderful music. The girls and princesses were also amazed to hear him play this type of music. They all closed their eyes and listen to the soothing music. The music ended after only one minute of playing and everyone began to applaud for his wonderful performance.

Mathael looked back at the audience and said, "The next song I will be playing will have lyrics again. It's a song about always remembering the good times you've had even if its been years."

Mathael then walked to the Piano sat down before he began to play ENGLISH 'Bink's Sake' One Piece

Yo ho ho ho, Yo ho ho hoo

Yo ho ho ho, Yo ho ho hoo

Making a delivery, bringing it across the sea

Bink's sake in the hold as we all sail through the breeze

Far across the eye can see, the sun is shining merrily

As the birds fly in the sky as they sing out with glee

Bid adieu to everyone as we sail under the sun

Sailing on from dusk 'til dawn and singing out as one'

Cross the gold and silver waves, changing into water sprays

Sailing out on our journey to the ends of the sea

<<..PIANO..>>

Making a delivery of Bink's sake through the sea

Let be shown that we are known as pirates, sailing free

Time to raise the flag up high, of jolly roger in the sky

Raise the sails and tell the tales that never pass you by

Somewhere in the endless sky, a storm has started coming by

Waves a-dancing, sails a-prancing through the wind and rain

If we let blow winds of fear, then the end of us is near

Even so, tomorrow the sun will rise again

Yo ho ho ho, Yo ho ho hoo (×2)

Making a delivery of Bink's sake through the sea

Through today, and through tomorrow, all your dreams will lay

Say goodbye should we depart, and keep your memories in your heart

Don't you frown and don't be down, but live to seize the day

Making a delivery of Bink's sake through the sea

Sailing on from dusk til dawn and singing out as one

After all, is said and done, we all end up as skeletons

Tales unending, rules a-bending, journey just begun

Yo ho ho ho, Yo ho ho hoo

Yo ho ho ho, Yo ho ho hoo

The audience was enjoying the song that he was playing. They were also surprised that he had such a melodies voice. The girls and the princesses were also enjoying the song and loved to hear him sing again. The princesses were also surprised that the strong warrior had a melodies voice. The song was so good some of the audience was stomping their feet to keep up with the tempo of the song. After he finished singing his song the place was echoing from the loud round of applause that was coming from the audience.

Mathael looked back at the audience and said, "If you thought it couldn't get better, then get ready for the final music for today. Be warned though. It is said that this music that I'll be playing next will touch your inner souls and will make you all emotional. Let's see if that is true." Everyone was confused about what he just said and see what kind of music he would play.

Mathael turned back to the piano and started to playBlue Bird - Naruto Shippuuden OP3 [piano]

As Mathael played his music, everyone present in the ballroom heard his music and began to feel something inside their hearts. It was a feeling that made them sad and emotional. They felt that everything they did bad hurt them. Hurt them emotionally enough to make them cry. Even the girls and the princesses were crying. Those outside the ballroom heard his music and also began to cry.

When Mathael finished his song, he looked at the audience and was surprised to see everyone crying. Wow. That music had the power to render them into crying children. After crying a few minutes, the audience began to applaud loudly for his beautiful performance.

Mathael smiled as he looked at the audience that looked pleased with his musical skills. He slowly rose from his seat while he thought of just how perfectly he tricked the universe in not embarrassing him in front of everyone. *Keriiip*. Mathael instantly rose to his full height as he heard an uncomfortable making sound and saw how his tie was stuck to a nail which head protruded out of the seats back. He was sure that this little piece of metal wasn't there when he sat down...

Mathael thought with a blank expression.'Yeah... Fuck you too universe...'

Mathael could feel how the power of his tie that kept his muscles in check was slowly fading away, causing his body to vibrate a little. Mathael's eyes shrunk to the size of pinpoint as he realized what was going to happen. He quickly hugged himself in an attempt to keep as much muscle mass under control, but Mathael knew that he could only delay the inevitable

Everyone looked at Mathael who was standing there with his body fidgeting a bit. The girls and the princesses became worried about him and were about to help him when suddenly Mathael's upper clothes were *Keerrrriiippppp* ripped apart and they saw his bear upper muscles.

Everyone went slack-jawed and stared with eyes wide as dinner plates at what they saw. They his beautiful raven black coat. They have seen some muscular beings but this. This was beyond them. Such defined muscles with perfect curves and most of all, It was all visible even through his fur!

Mathael wasn't happy with this in the slightest! He checked if his top hat was still on his hat and it thankfully was even though it almost shot in the air from his bulging his muscles. He looked around in fear as he feared how the Nobles would react.

Mathael looked at everyone and found something very strange at the way they looked at him. Every male in the room was looking at him with envy??? Why would they do that? He then looked at the females and found that their whole faces were blushing red with jaws agape and wide eyes. They were looking at him like a piece of meat??... again.. Why are they drooling, this is weird!? He heard a loud *Pomf* and saw that every female Pegasus and even the princesses had their wings fully extended. Even Ember's wings were fully stretched. Darkness was the only one who was smiling even though her wings were extended too, only her cheeks were red. Why do wings even extend just like that? Seriously, why do female Pegasus get a wingbo- Ohh... Am I that attractive?

After a while of silence and gawking at his body, King Iron Hoof gave a loud laugh and said, "So is that another sort of greeting from your world? If so, then I like it." With that, he ripped off his upper clothes and showed everyone his muscles as he flexed them. The audience began to look from Mathael to Iron Hoof and then back to Mathael and then back to Iron Hoof several times.

Mathael thought with a little anger.'You're not helping!'

Prince Rutherford stood up and said, "You all want to see muscles! Then Yaks are the ones who have most muscles!" He then ripped off his upper clothes and showed his muscles. Even his two personal guards ripped their upper clothes off to show their muscles.

Mathael thought with a bit of annoyance and anger.'Damn you two! This is not what. how can you? WHY!'

The two muscle giants posed in this way:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sa5rW_AJw-U

This caused a chain reaction and every male began to rip off their upper clothes and started to show off their muscles to the females. For the females, it was like seeing candy for the first time. They all ogled at the muscular males and their bodies but the only one with well-defined muscles was none other than Mathael as every female returned their sights back onto his body and started to talk about it.

"My what splendid muscles."

"His muscles look like they were carved from obsidian."

"Look at his muscles' curves."

"they are as big as black diamonds"

"They must be jewels dear."

"I want to touch them."

"I want to feel them."

"I want to lick them."

"I want to nuzzle them"

Mathael knew that this was embarrassing for Asura and Ash, but this is a whole new level as he didn't or rather have the problem that the many xenophobic Noble Mares now wanted a piece of him too. The only comfort he had was the fact that they could barely see his blush through his midnight like fur. His sense began to scream that he should get out as fast as possible, and were asking for a window?

Mathael forced a few words out through the crushing embarrassment of his hurt pride."Well, excuse me for my .... well accident?? I will now be ... leaving you all. So yeah ... uh .... have a ... nice day. Yeah .... and like that... I am gone. Dasvidania (Goodbye)." he ended his sentence with a salute motion

Mathael quickly grabbed his tie from the malicious chair of embarrassment and created a smoke bomb that he threw on the ground in front of his feet *Poof*. The Noble looked at the cloud and were both surprised and sad that their 'entertainment' left.

The males were still flexing and showing off their muscles even after Mathael left the room. However, the females will never forget what they have seen at this Gala. Especially the girls and the princesses.

Twilight with a beet red face asked, "Princess. What do we do now?"

Celestia whose face was also beet red said, "I don't know, Twilight. I have never once been in a situation like this before." She looked around a saw that the female Pegasus was busy trying to calm their wings.

Cadence is the princess of love. She can see how much love is emanated from other beings. However, for the first time, she was feeling something strange from herself. She started to have some feelings for Mathael after seeing not only his love for his friends but how much he is protective of them. Maybe she could ... No! Get that thought out of your head Cadence. You've love Shining Armor since childhood. You can't fall for someone else after you have just met them. That is wrong. She took some breaths and calmed herself. She began to leave the room with her wings stretched, in search of her lover Shining Armor but she still can't get the image of Mathael's well-defined muscles out of her head. She also wants to touch and feel his exotic muscl-No! No! No! With a sigh, she left the room and wants to forget about what she saw. Well, at least she tried to but failed miserably. Maybe Shining Armor would comfort her about that.

Canterlot Gardens

Mathael had no idea how he escaped this embarrassing situation, but he somehow landed in an isolated part of the Canterlot Gardens. He ignored the fact that he somehow landed there because he just wanted to be there in that ninja cloud.

After he was done asking unnecessary questions to the readers, he walked around the garden for a bit to calm his nerves. 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, Mathael found the owners of the voices and saw Spike with Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle. They were talking and even dancing with each other, which made them look cute. He even saw the fillies giving Spike a kiss which made him blush. Mathael was happy for Spike for he now has three lovers.

As Mathael 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? Do you have a problem with me?

Another noble said, "This is Canterlot. Home of the nobles of Equestria and we don't allow overgrown 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."

Mathael smiled how his lovers stood up for Spike, but he already knew where this was going and went into attack position. 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 noble 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 Mathael 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 nowhere 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, wanna Die?! Becuase Child abuse is one of the few things that make my anger explode!! Leave now and Don't You Dare to look back!!!"

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.

Mathael 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. Mathael laughed at that and decided to leave them alone and not ruin their moment. He began to wander through the gardens while thinking about many things. they really needed to know something about the golems if they wanted to defend themselves. He just wished that there was someone who had at least a bit of useful information. Yes, he knew that Zecora knew a legend about this creature, he hoped that she knew more than Asura's Zecora did.

While wandering through the gardens, he found an interesting looking statue. The statue looked like a mix of Pony, Goat, Snake, Lion, Eagle, Lizzard, Dragon and Bat. The best way of describing it would be either a Chimera that played a bit too much 'Spore' or as a chaotic bundle of animals that had been glued together or in short, Discord...

Every other character would've walked away or screamed in fear, but Mathael had a hard time to not act like a school filly as he was a really big fan of Discord... or at least the canon one. If he wouldn't have known what monster was sealed in that stone, then he would've broken the stone open himself for an autograph, but he had to resist.

Mathael was about to walk away, but then he got an idea. Maybe he could just take away his magic so that they wouldn't have to fight! Mathael slowly moved his hand toward where Discords chest would be if it weren't buried under a thin layer of stone.

Once he made contact with the stone, his mind was flooded with memories. He saw... a snow storm... Chocolate milk in a teacup... Celestia, Luna, and Discord as Children... Firework... and... and... Fire... The most terrifying memories Mathael saw was the last one. It showed Discord who was banished from Equestria because of an accident by... Celestia herself...

Mathael instantly took away his hand from the statue as he was done with the memories and tried his best to calm his Extreme! anger towards Celestia at that moment. No, they were just Children back then, he couldn't blame Celestia for something that happened that long ago...

With a sight, he walked away from the statue and slowly made his way towards the Castle. One thing that confused him was that the Magic that held back the Spirit would still last at least two days, which was good. He knew what he would do if he was away. Mathael was sure that if he even touched a hair from Darkness then he would skin him, but that Chimera would go much further and our Protagonist was more scared of what he would become.

With a sight, he jumped up a tree and climbed it up till he reached a big and stable branch on which he laid. When he sat down, he noticed that he had a perfect view of the castle hall, but he was invisible for them due to all the leaves and the shadow of the night that gave him cover.

Mathael though with a long sight.'They are still flexing in there. What is even so interesting in watching some half-naked guys show off their muscles?'

Suddenly Mathael got an idea on how he could finally unravel the mystery of the Pomf-ing wings! He used his virus to change himself into a Mare by changing his testosterone with estrogen and waited about five minutes until the transformation was done.

he could feel the changes and they were weird. He was used to using magic to turn into other species and even though he changed into Darkness once in front of his love, that was just an optical change. This, however, was a complete change that he could always unmake, ha! Who needs surgeries when you can do it yourself!

Zwillingen700 is not responsible for any self surgery attempts. do not, under any circumstances, try this at home or elsewhere.

Mathael then snapped his fingers and created a hand mirror so he could see how he looked. It surprised him how unfitting his female counterpart was. He expected to have a similar build to Zarya or a world champion weightlifter and not his current form.

Instead, he had a slender figure with a slim hourglass figure. His limbs were all thin, he was shocked to see just how compressed his muscles were. He touched his face and saw how cute he looked. His cheekbones looked like the one of a supermodel and he had a lovely short muzzle.

Even though he looked really good, he felt a bit uncomfortable as he was not used to not being a big hunk, but a good looking lady. At least he was still huge. Suddenly his eyes shot open as he looked down and saw it. His breasts were e cup sized! He calmed down and remembered why he did it in the first place and looked through the window.

*Pompf*

Mathael's wings instantly extended to their full length which almost knocked him off the tree and his face looked like if it was on fire! He didn't understand this feeling, but it was very alien. It was something that he could not describe, but the best way of describing it would probably be hunger and lust. He decided that he should change back as he didn't want to find out what it feels like to experience his female part.

Mathael thought.'I can't take this anymore! How were these Mare able to restrain themselves!?'

Mathael let his virus replace his estrogen with his testosterone again to turn him back into a Male. He could hold himself back as a male, but he had by far not enough time to be prepared for something this intense. When he was his old self again, he saw that the Gala was already over and the guests began to leave the castle. Everyone besides the one he wanted to talk with.

Mathael snapped his fingers to repair the suit Rarity made for him and put his tie on before jumping down the tree *thud*. When he hit the ground, he slowly made his way towards the entrance as he tried his best to act as if nothing happened. With new confidence, he entered the building and could already see the girls and the leaders who eagerly awaited important information.

Mathael said."I am sorry for destroying your Suit, Rarity, but at least I was able to repair it."

Rarity said with a smile, "Oh don't worry about that Mathael. 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.

Mathael sighed and asked."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, "Mathael! 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?"

Mathael was now blushing when she asked 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. Mathael receded his blush with his virus and tried to change the subject by asking, "Where are 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."

Mathael said, "Thank you, Princess Luna. Princess Celestia. Why don't you take all of us to a room where we can discuss important matters."

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 what you know about those things?"

Mathael nodded and said, "Before I continue, I will first tell you how I met those things. During the last week, I met a Pony named daring Do and with her help, we infiltrated an ancient temple in the Everfree forest. Inside, we meet the Aztec king Ahuizotl and his flunkies. Before I continue, does everyone know about the beings I am talking about?"

Most Ponies shocked their head while Rainbow Dash gave out a long yawn. Twilight was the only one who knew about her. She said."Daring Do is the main Protagonist of a book series while Ahuizotl is the main antagonist. The books mostly resolve around Daring do keeping bad guys from stealing ancient artifact in her exiting storied."

Rainbow Dash said."Boooring." Mathael rolled his eyes before creating all of Daring Do's books and pushing them in Rainbow's arms.

Mathael said."You can say they are boring when you read them."

Rainbow Dash screamed."But, but... This is for eggheads!"

Mathael rolled his eyes and continued."We got caught and attacked, but I was able to kill all of his followers while trying to protect Daring Do so she wouldn't be hurt in the process."

The Girls smiled at his kindness. He protected a Mare he barely knew in a dangerous battle inside an ancient temple that could bear uncountable dangers.

Mathael continued, " While I was busy killing them, Ahuizotl ran away from me and into an ancient room with one 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 weapon. He accidentally released this weapon and in the end was stuck with me, Daring Do and Ahuizotl. I took both of them to a safe place before the battle began. And that is when I met that thing. The first one is the one I fought while the other three are probably the things that attacked you."

Mathael 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 Mathael?"

Mathael said."It was my first time meeting these things in person, so no. But I do know how strong they are. They are strong enough to take me on as a Super Saiyan and 35% of my power and they are able to hurt me. Yeah, that thing was able to decapitate me, cut a few limbs and impale me."

The girls were horrified to hear him say that like it was nothing. Mathel said, "Needless to say I got pissed off after I healed myself and exploited their strength. After killing them, I took them and studied them for some time and found that it was a special kind of slave of the Corruption. My old enemy..."

Everyone was confused as they don't know what the Corruption is. Twilight asked, "Excuse me Mathae. But what is the Corruption'?"

Mathael answered."The Corruption is a creature that is older than time itself. It only desires to destroy everything that exists no matter the cost. To do so, it uses Crystalized Darkness to create powerful creatures or a lot of negative emotions for weaker creatures."

Everyone was shocked to hear that. They were at war with a creature that was this old? Possible even a god! This made the Girls uneasy.

Mathael saw their fear and explained."The Corruption is not unbeatable. In fact, it was already beaten twice with the power of the creators of the creation itself."

Luna asked."That's a relief Mathael. Do you know how to contact them so they could aid us in battle?"

Mathael's mood darkened and said."They are dead..."

"What!!!"

Princess Celestia was shocked to the core to hear that their creators were gone. She asked."All of them are just... gone?"

Mathael answered with a neutral expression."Not really. The Creators of the first creation are all dead, but they gave their power to ten mortals that became the new gods who re-created the creation that was destroyed in the last battle. Saddyl the Corruption returned and managed to kill one of the ten gods while corrupting 8 other."

The Girls were losing hope rapidly as Mathael continued to talk. They never imagined in their darkest nightmare that the situation of everything would be so dire.

Ember asked."Only one is left? Who?"

Mathael answered."Faust was the only survivor, but the god of darkness was able to survive by fusing himself with the power of the darkness. He can still communicate with me, but I don't know if he can talk with others too."

Pinkie Pie asked."Wait! Wouldn't cause a lot of problems if there isn't a dark god?"

Mathael answered bluntly."Yes, but a new bearer was found. Onto the next subject."

Twilight interrupted and asked."Wait a moment! Who is the new god of Darkness? He or she could be a great help!"

Darkness said bluntly."You are standing in front of him." Mathael head turned with so much speed towards Darkness that his neck made a loud *Crack* sound.

The Girls and the leaders besides the Princesses and Darkness said simultaneously."You're what?!?!"

Mathael answered with a loud sight."Yes, I am. I did it because I needed to be strong enough to protect you and all other worlds that are in danger."

Fluttershy asked in a curious, yet caring tone."Mathael, are you scared that you can't do it?"

Mathael looked at Fluttershy in a bit of less confidence."It doesn't matter. It only matters if I am capable or not in defeating a being so powerful that it literally killed my our maker." Mathael sighed again and continued."Anyways. does anyone still have questions?"

Ember asked."How do we defeat the Golems?"

Mathael nodded and explained." If you encounter a golem, try to either immobilize them by ripping off or breaking their limbs to kill them or try to find a purple glowing crystal and bash on it till it disconnects from their bodies. Be warned though, the crystals are very dangerous and can corrupt almost any mind. You should lock them away so no one can even come close to them."

Rainbow Dash asked."What happens when you touch them?"

Mathael answered."The Crystals will corrupt you and turn you into a monster. The change doesn't always have to be a physical one, it can also just change your emotions and make you stronger. If a slave of the corruption near and you are surrounded by negative emotions then they can even turn you into an evil being with ease... something that should not be underestimated."

The Princesses were looking sad and heartbroken. Mathael guessed that this had something to do with Discord, they are probably beating themselves up for that 'incident'.

Twilight asked."What are we going to do now?"

Mathael said with a smile."Staying strong. I really don't want to lose you too to that thing" there was so much venom in the last word that someone with a weak heart could've died

Ember asked after gulping from his sentence."Are all monsters corrupted creatures?"

Mathael explained."There are the slaves who are creatures who were made. Then there are the corrupted who were transformed into monsters. Your golems on the other hands are something... disturbing."

Twilight asked curiously."What is a golem exactly?"

Mathael 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.

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

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

Mathael 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."

Mathael asked Ember, "But the ones you encountered were made from flesh and metal, 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."

Mathael 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 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, Mathael? Is creating one with two different materials a bad thing?"

Mathael 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, Mathael?"

Mathael 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 or in our case, the power of corruption."

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 downright, wrong but would it not be better to make something strong that will obey and be loyal to you?"

Mathael 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?

Mathael 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 drawbacks of 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."

Ember asked."These golems were so strong. Why are they obeying the corruption?"

Mathael nodded and answered."Thes golems are bound to the Corruption because of the Crystalized Darkness and will follow Crytal makers orders no matter what."

Luna asked."Mathael, how do you know about this?"

Mathael answered."Let me explain to you all something first. I gather the energy from any being I kill, like for example a monster. I released the energy I gained from that golem or how I call him, the headless horseman and inserted one of my own Crystals in it. And to my surprise, it worked! The creature obeyed my command without problems. I guess that's how the corruption is able to have so many powerful warriors without fearing betrayal."

Darkness said in and happy tone."I think we can all agree on how lucky we are to have Mathael, who knows everything about this threat." The Girls nodded in appreciation as they believed to have an infinite source of information, but Mathael, on the other hand, wasn't all-knowing.

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

Fleur asked, "What's that Mathael ?"

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

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

Mathael 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?" Mathael already knew their answer, but even the slightest difference between the worlds counts

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 Mathael but even in our long time of the ruling, we have never seen or heard anything about these golems."

Luna asked."But isn't it good that they are ancient? I mean, the creator must have died of old age by now and must be much weaker than the Corruption if no one knows about him, right?"

Mathael shocked his head and answered."That is sadly wrong, Luna. I rather fight the devil I fear, than the unknown monster. I do however can tell that however created them is a slave or a follower to the corruption, but the question is, who wade them exactly and where is he? Does anyone know anything?"

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 Mathael will be able to deal with them or maybe she should because she likes 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 Mathael."

Everyone was surprised that she knew something about the dreaded golems. Mathael smiled at her for sharing any info about the golems in hope that he would find out more. 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 my master returns 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.

Erebus told Mathael in his head.'This sounds like Magni's work, but I doubt that he was beaten by mortals. I guess it was one of his servants who created these Golems. Magni used to sometimes ask if he could 'experiment' his machines on living things, but we always told him that trying new combinations between the elements would be too dangerous for the balance of all thing. But now that he doesn't have to care anymore, he apparently experimented and succeeded in creating monsters.'

Princess Celestia asked."Is something wrong, Mathael? Your eyes glowed black for a moment."

Mathael answered."I was just communicating with the former go of darkness, Erebus. Apparently, he believes that the corrupted god of technology plaid a big part in the creation of the golems and his disciple was probably the creator of these monsters."

Twilight asked."God of technology? That sounds a bit weird and how many gods are there?"

Mathael listed off."There are ten gods, one for each element. Air, Earth, Fire, Life, Magic, Technology, Death, Wate, Light and Darkness. The element of Technology is responsible for far more than just machines. He worked with the element of life to create DNA, with magic to write the laws of physics and with Darkness, Light, and magic to create intelligent life like for example making a society possible. The new gods did the same with the creation the re-created." The Girls were amazed at what the gods all did and how powerful they must have been.

Mathael thought.'How did I know this? I never heard anything about this.'

Erebus told Mathael in his head.'We are sharing the same body and in some ways one mind. Each of us is capable to see the other's memories, but I am far more skilled in keeping my secrets safe than you are. I just gave you a little bit of my wisdom.'

Everyone was amazed at how much Mathael knew, possibly even the secret to life itself. The only thing that amazed them more was that he would do anything to keep his friends and home safe no matter against who or what, even if their makers would be his enemy.

Mathael 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."

Mathael thoguht'Good. I have a lot of time thanks to Mr. Chaos Man, not breaking out tomorrow.'

Mathael 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 so few monsters? Maybe because my kingdom is in a cold place and they don't like the cold?"

Mathael nodded and said, If you ever find yourself in need of my aid, do not be scared to call for help. I would be more than happy to assist you in dire times."

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

Mathael said as he looked at the night sky."It's getting late everyone. I think It's time for everyone to rest after such an eventful night."

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. Mathael and Darkness were about to leave as he could literally be anywhere he wanted. When he was about to leave, he felt someone tapping him on his right shoulder. He turned around and was surprised to see the Sisters.

Celestia said, "Can we talk for a bit Mathael if you don't want to return home already that is?"

Mathael said."I am in no hurry." Mathael put a smile on his face which faded pretty fast as he no longer saw confidence in their faces. He asked."So Princesses, What do you want to talk about?"

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

Luna said, "We need to talk with you privately." Mathael looked at Darkness with a bit of worry. She added."Can we please have a moment with Mathael, alone, Captain Darkness Bloodheart?"

Darkness wasn't sure of what to think or say at that moment, but she trusted the Princess and nodded before she said."Ok Princesses. I will wait here for you."

The Princess then indicated that he should follow them and he walked behind them to wherever they wanted the two of them to be. He wasn't sure why the Princess wouldn't want Darkness to come along, but it must have a good reason considering the She's his first love, in this life at least.

The three of them arrived in a big guest room which was almost the size of an entire flat of the human world. He entered the room first and was closely followed by the Princesses. He walked in front of the bed and waited for the Princess to say something.

She walked in front of him and added a bit of pressure on him by pushing both of her palms on his shoulder with had no effect. Princess Luna asked."Could you please sit down, Mathael?"

Mathael nodded and sat down. He asked."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, "Mathael. Can you tell us what you desire?"

Mathael didn't remember what happened after the Gala and decided to just play along. He answered."I only desire to live happily with my friends, family, and loved ones and I will do anything to keep them safe."

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

Mathael's ears instantly straightened up upon hearing this and answered."I do hold a lot of knowledge and strength, but I do not desire to rule. Being a king is not what I want. I am a warlord, an archmage and maybe a gentlecolt, but I am no ruler. Heck, wouldn't survive the court with all the Nobles!"

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, Mathael. But I and my sister here need to ask you something else."

Mathael said, "Sure. I am all ears and I will answer your questions as good as I can, Celestia and Luna."

Luna looked at Celestia and nodded with a smile. Celestia then nodded in agreement with a small smile on her own. The alabaster colored mare slowly and deeply inhaled before exhaling. She asked."Can I become your special somepony?"

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. Still! Why him? He is literally the most dangerous demon in this world! And yet, the Princesses are asking him to be his lover!?

Mathael tried to not question his mental state and asked."Ummm... I am flattered, but may I ask... why? There are many Stallions out there who would do anything for you in a heartbeat."

The princesses became sad and Luna explained."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 almost 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 Mathael 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."

Mathael was surprised and flattered that the Princesses thought so highly of him, but there was a question that lingered in his mind."How do you know all this about me and why now?"

Princess Celestia sighed deeply and answered."My sister has told me a lot about the way you treated her and as she finally found love, I couldn't resist any longer to experience what its like to love again. Will you please not only love my Sister but me too?"

Mathael was shocked to hear this. They lived for so long, but nothing changed. They always just wanted to love someone, but every male from back then till today were just bastards who only caved the throne and not their hearts. He was disgusted, but would it really be the right thing to do? The two of them each were probably at their lowest willpower whenever they asked him to love them. Where they trying to stay strong and independent or was he just shamelessly abusing them? 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.

Mathael said softly."If you really want to be in my herd, Celestia, then I will not only not stop you, but also welcome you now too to my family. I will care for you and do my best to make sure that no one will ever hurt you again."

Celestia was happy to finally be in love once again, so much that she shed tears of happiness. Luna was happy too as her sister bloomed in happiness like she hasn't since her return. The two of them hugged him and even Luna began to cry at some point. After a few minutes, they calm down and released their hugs.

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

Luna nodded and said, "You will make us happy and a brilliant King for Equestria."

Mathael's smile faded and he stiffed as heard this sentence again. 'You'll make a good king'. He said."Could we please not talk about the ruler thing, please? "

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

Mathael 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 the memories of good rulers, but I I don't have experiences. I will make a bad ruler. And even if I knew how to be a good 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, "Mathael. 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 and the nobles. We both will teach you everything you need to no when the time comes."

Mathael just sighed and accepted that he would not be able to get away from them and becoming a king. He kind of knew something 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, Mathael needed to tell them about his Exp ability. He needs to see how it will go on with his reveal. He would rather hear them scream monster or something, rather than later.

Mathael asked in a serious tone."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. Mathael took a breath and raised his right hand. Mathael opened his palm and many yellow glowing orbs flew out of it and formed a small hurricane in the room. The princesses gasped when they saw the monster that Mathael defeated. He remembered this part and already knew that they didn't have anything against his virus, but this is a new level of shock.

Mathael said."I have the ability to turn my defeated enemies and everything they are into these yellow orbs I named 'Exp'."

The princesses were shocked to see him recreate such a nightmarish creature. They get that this ability gives him hidden warrior and such but why did he say that it was a horrible secret?

Luna asked, "Mathael. We don't see anything dangerous thing about this. All we are seeing is you turning an enemy you fought back to life and he seems to not be aggressive anymore.

Mathael 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?"

Mathael shocks his head and said."No. I do not eat these orbs, I turn them into a form of energy that I can use to change into something else like healing wounds or create relics and creatures." he could also use magic, but the Exp is far better to create creatures.

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?"

Mathael said, "Yes."

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

Mathael answered."They were shocked, but they eventually accepted it and me."

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."

Mathael came out of his shock and asked, "So, you two are not creeped out 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. Mathael just stood there with a stupefied expression as he thought about what just happened. He let a sight out and teleported the Nightmare Horse to his fortress in the void. When he was about to lay on the bed, the door suddenly opened.

It was Darkness who entered the door with a big smile on her face. She said."I heard everything. I can't believe it, the Princesses are in your herd, you really are a Mare magnet, Mathael."

Mathael's face looked like a Christmas tree with all the red color in his face when he heard this. He said."Can we please discuss this tomorrow? I am really tired." Darkness nodded with a sight and the two of them laid in the bed. Mathael cuddled Darkness instantly once she was beside him, but then she said something which cracked his pride.

Darkness said."Before I forget to tell you this. I saw you on the tree and I must say you really look gorgeous as a Mare, Mathael."

Mathael's eyes shot open as he heard this and mumbled something under his breath before his eyelids slowly closed and he fell asleep.

Two Hours Later

To be continued...
