Ed soon arrives at the Crystal Empire's main court area. Looking around he saw the Crystal Guards starting while doing their best fish impressions. Ed merely shook his head and entire the place. From what he could tell it has been around three to four days since he'd left to initially dave Gar and then Asta. Due to his taking a nap he could refuse a summons from Gar's friend Goku Black. It was safe to say he had and eventful stay in the Saiyan's world and gained the power of God Ki and another set of family members in Black and his Nightmare Moon as well as Black's Luna, soon to be his fiance.

Soon Edward came across Princess Amore, "Hey Amore what's..." Before he could finish she blasted him with a beam of gleaming icy blue magic knocking the alchemist down to the floor on his back. "Ooooowwwww.... Been a while since I was knocked on my back by magic," He groaned as he sat up but was suddenly on the ground again as Amore had talked him and started to cry into his chest.

"You bastard..." She cried into his chest. "When Tia said you left for another world I... I..."

"Shhh... I'm sorry I should have told them to explain things better or at least left a message for you but I needed to attend to some family business," Edward rubbed her head calming her down.

"Family..." Amore looked up confused. "You have family on other worlds besides that Bright Stone alicorn?"

"Stone is my son from one such work, yes, but I have more than just Stone out there one Void," Edward stood up and helped Amore to her's. "Let me tell you what you've missed out and about my family and I hope you'll consider them your's too."

They walked and talked as Ed told Amore of his own awakening up to the events of the current that has just passed. He told her of his brothers, nieces, and nephews, and his adventures as well as the nature of the kind of being he is.

"Ed," Amore looked at her as they were in her room. "I... I don't quite understand everything in detail but I DO understand that this is who you are and I will support you how I can... "

"I understand," he nodded. "So you'll be coming to Cnaterlot?"

"If you're asking me to marry you that I can't quite answer yet," She looked away. "I'll come but... I am still a little confused on how I should view you right now Ed..."

"I understand," Ed nodded and stood up.

"Everything you've done, I should hate you for it but I can't..." Amore said in sadness as tears ran down her face. "Sombra was... our son and you... killed him with your own hands..." She gritted her teeth, "But I can't bring myself to even be mad at you. He... had to be stopped... He took Tia and Lulu along with your children and little Nyx. All of the things he'd done and would've done...Thank you for stopping him and saving the Empire."

Ed placed his hands on her shoulders causing her to look up and see the tears streaming down his cheeks, "Amore, I still consider him our son but the creature he's become wasn't our boy. I hate myself for letting the girls and kids get taken and even more for having to end him but I'm thankful to him for having enough humanity left to hide you away before his evil side fully took over," He hugged her tightly.

"Will... will you please stay with me tonight?" Amore sniffled. "I don't want to be alone."

"Sure," Ed laid her down and she snuggled into him. "I won't ever let you go again," he mumbled to himself.

Sometime later that night... and in another world...

I sigh and rub my chin. ‘I should try to get some more powers..and I just thought of a great way to get some.’ I smirk and rush back to my smithy and see Chibi Ed then rub my chin.

“Ok I’ve decided to name you to blaze as I’m not good with names,” I tell the parrot made of nanites. Then I pull out a huge world map. “Now for our next project I want to make dragon slayer lacrima, how do I or we, do that?”

"Thank you, frankly I was getting tired of being referred to as Ed or chibi," Blaze happily flapped his wings. "But you want to make Dragon Lacrima of a specific type or all types?"

“I plan on making every type possible,” I say smirking and look to Blaze. “With my gamer powers I can absolutely get and use all of them, and spike will soon be ready for the one Ed gave me for him, I want to know the basics of how to use it before I give him the lacrima.”

"You will need several magics some extremely dangerous even in their basic concept and hard to obtain material," Blaze said as he flew to a nearby table and display a list. "First will need a location extremely rich with many types but mostly raw clear quartz. I limestone bed for growing the Lacrima. Extreme heat and pressure spells. Mineral-rich groundwater. A powerful grow to spell for stone and very power but yet simple time displacement spell with a fast-moving time spell."

"Other than these you will also need basic seed material of whatever want the Lacrima's Element to be," Blaze explained then he starts to vibrate and his eye showed a warning sign.

I rub my chin and grumble a bit. “Well damn, the only time spell I know stops. I could try using earth and fire bending or try to learn lava bending for the heat and pressure. I don’t know where we could do this.”

I look at Blaze and ask. This will not be easy, are you able to do most of these things?”

"I am a matter generator/convertor and piece of magi-tech, not a wizard that can cast complex spells in conjunction to create an extremely powerful dragon based artifact. Other than these you will also need basic seed material of whatever want the Lacrima's Element to be that much I can do," Blaze explained then he starts to vibrate and his eye showed a warning sign. "ALERT!"

I blink and expand my senses just in case. “What’s wrong?”

"Resetting," the bird froze for a moment then was back to normal. "It would seem that Dragon Lacrima creation is list under Edward's Priority access list and I just sent an automatic message to my progenitor about access."

I groan and rub my face as I sit down in my work chair. “Damn well at least all my secret projects are hidden for now, he will most likely either call through his token or come here himself from what little I know of Ed.” I then pull the watch token out of my inventory and set it on the table. 

The watch immediately began to vibrate then popped open. The hands started to spin rapidly as a holo-display popped up and soon the Alchemist's face came on. "Why the hell am I getting a red alert in the middle of the night?" He rubbed his eyes and looked at me and Blaze. "Oh, its just you Del, what are you up to?"

I smile apologetically and tell him. “I was gonna start making some dragon slayer lacrima, but it seems Blaze here was programmed to tell you if I asked. Sorry about waking you.”  while I am talking I am unaware that Ed can see over my shoulder an incomplete golden gauntlet with six holes on the knuckles and back of the palm on it.

"Look kid," Ed rubbed his face, ""I'm not gonna tell you 'no' if that's what you think," He yawned, "I just went through hell, found out Tia is three months along in a massive battle, got the third love of my life back, helped both my brothers out and I still have a whole order of knights to oversee training for with morphers. I'm hella tired and am going to be overseeing a lot of duties to keep Tia from doing a lot for her and the baby's sake. I'm the last person that's going to give you shit on whatever you're personal projects are. Now what's got me up, even though I don't need sleep.""

“Well, according to blaze it was an automated message that called you,  but right now I’m faced with the problems of not having the spells or ingredients needed to create the lacrimas,” I inform him of scratching my head.

"You have all the ingredients you need in the old gem quarry outside Ponyville," Edward waved his hand in the air. "But the reason I got the message is because the over the construction of a Lacrima generator is top secret. Mainly because of the Larcima, but allows for the source of the mana needed."

I nod a bit and say. “Yeah, I can understand that. But you don’t have to worry about anybody learning it, just me and blaze.” I lean back and blink my eyes before looking at the clock. “Huh seems our worlds have sunk up, it’s the middle of the night here too.”

"I'm not worried about that," Ed waved ot off. "It a program all my chibis are installed with to notify me if something those who I leave them with are trying to access sensitive information is all. As for why the main reason is because of the heart of the generator."

“The heart? What do you mean?” I ask Ed as I lean forward.

"Dargon lacrima are crystalized dragon mana formed over the process of highly rich mana infused water leeching into the soil over a period of a hundred years," Ed stated. "to proceed one like that is extremely difficult in nature alone. To do it on a scale artificially with the generator you need a steady supply of mana to leech into the water which then run of the element you used as seed material but the mana must remain constant supply like the flow of the water. Not just any mana will do either is has to be Dragon mana," Ed explained as he leaned back in his chair. "Unless it's in a mana-rich zone where a dragon has died or hibernated for over ten years you won't find a natural Lacrima, even in the Dragonlands they'd be rare."

I groan and hit my desk. “Damn, I was hoping to save some money by making them myself.” I rub my face to try to relax and think.

"You also have another couple of problems," Ed pointed out. "The only mana rich zone you have access to is the Evefree, more specifically the Tree of Harmony but no dragon his died or slept there in a very long time."

“Well, technically I’m early enough in the timeline that big green dragon may still be there,” I say while rubbing my chin in thought then shake my head. “But even if there was dragon magic there I wouldn’t take from the tree.”

"Has it been there for over ten years," Ed pointed out. "And your missing something very important young drake."

“No clue and what is that?” I ask as I dig through my drawer.

"You have a constant mana supplier I made for you!" Ed complained as he leaning to the display stretching out to meet my face.

I blink and slap my forehead. “Right, I forgot about it and it’s still in my inventory.”

"Right," Ed rolled his eye. "But it still wouldn't work as the mana heart. You need Dagon Mana, remember."

“Very true, plus it only gives me 80% of my MP per minute so if it uses my MP faster then I get it back I’ll burn out and just waste MP.” I groan and shake my head.

"My you are so dense sometimes," Blaze squawked.

I give a small glare at Blaze. “Yes I can be, but guess what I’m completely new to doing this.”

"Even a novice magi-tech user like yourself should be able to put to and to together," He pointed out. "What is the heart of the Lacrima Generator?"

“Lots and lots of dragon mana, which I can’t make on my own yet.” I shake my head.

The bird slammed his face onto the desk.

"You need a Dragon Sage Stone Del!" Ed slammed his hands on his desk with a loud thud.

Suddenly out of right field a pillow hit the back of his head, "Keep it down!"

"Sorry Amore," He called over his shoulder and then sat down in his chair again.

I blink for a moment then sigh and slam my head onto the table. “Yeah that makes sense...sorry Ed, I’m like a kid trying to be a scientist, I’m working on things I don’t fully understand, hell the only reason I have had any success is because I’ve been using my clones to do the experimenting which leaves a lot of craters....everywhere.”

"This is why I left the bird there," Ed pointed at the parrot. "He has all my knowledge, well, previous knowledge."

“Right, I’ll try to see if I can make one, thanks for the heads up, Ed,” I tell him and my eyes widen and I pull out my newest token. “Oh before I forget here is a new token, you should keep an eye on him, he will most likely end up killing his Celestia and Luna, and here is a knife made of a special material that is useful against people that have a fast healing factor.” I send them through the watch.

"Del," Blaze cut in. "Ed is the only living being who makes the Sage Stones. Even though his Twilight, princesses, and nieces can use alchemagic He kept the way to make Stones for himself."

I lean back and sigh. “True, Damn...” I look at Ed and ask. “What do you want for one?”

"First off," Ed leaned in. "How are things going over there? Has Twilight understood my gift and started to ask questions?"

I nod and say. “She has started to study alchemy but I did give her a harsh warning of what happens if you go too far with it. As for asking questions, I’m not sure...I really should start bonding with the main six.” I trail off lost in thought.

"Del," Ed's vision narrowed. "Celestia over there is hiding A LOT of things from everyone, but especially and more importantly, you, Luna, and Twilight. I know you don't want to get on her bad side more than we've already put you but maybe you should do some digging. Especially on those humans."

I nod and tap the side of my head. “Way ahead of you I’ve been sending my clones out across the planet looking for records and any trace of what happened to them, so far it’s the same story, but one of my latest trips across the sea did find something interesting there is a magical field miles wide in the middle of the ocean. my clone didn’t go through the field but I plan on going there eventually.” 

“I’ve even had clones going into Celestia’s bedroom looking for secret rooms and stuff maybe find a diary or something but all I found was a closet full of cake...” I shudder a bit.

" Mmmm..." Ed rubbed his chin. "I wonder...." He got up and walked off. I heard rummaging in the background and another moan from Amore. Soon Ed came back with a sun-themed key. "You're looking in the wrong castle altogether. You need her bedroom in the old castle. It has a secret passage behind her dresser. This key is a copy she made for me years ago. It should work for the one in your world if it's there."

He sent it through the watch. "It'll glow when you're close to any of her secret rooms in the old place, as for payment for the Stone," A ripple appeared above his hand, and out fell a large crystal ball. "I want you to summon me for any undertaking of something to do with these subjects. Stone or Human related," He held up the stone. "It doesn't look impressive but this stone is often referred to as the Tear of a Dragon King by the dragons themselves. I can set up the generator for you in your base. The spells for I won't teach, sorry."

“I will and I would appreciate that. I do understand wanting to keep somethings a secret.” I look at the dragon stone and feel my emotional flame burn hotter and just being near it my chest glows.

I look to Ed and say. “Thank you for your help, Ed, how is Raava doing? You should have had a spike in the avatar state a few days ago.”

"Yea I didn't feel that," Ed shook his head. "As I said, I had a bit of an issue a few days ago." he scratched the back of his head.

“To make a long story simple the version of Raava I gave you was incomplete after some meditating in another displaceds world  I was able to fully link with the avatar cycle and now everyone who I’ve given the powers to and will give the powers to will be a full avatar meaning the Raava inside you should be at full strength soon,” I inform him.

"Hmmm..." Ed nodded. "Will, I really didn't notice as I was stuck under Malice's influence, though I did awaken my Bankai and Hollowfication."

I blink then rub my chin and think to myself. ’ huh maybe I could get a soul reapers sword.’ then I shake my head and smile. “That’s cool so when will you have time to come over and set it..” I look north and my eyes widen. “No freaking way..”

"I should be able to come over in about a week or week and a half," Ed though. "Things should quiet down enough after the announcement of Tia and the baby and Twilight's ascension that I'll leave most of the workload to Amore and Luna. Amore has more than enough power to raise the sun with some help from Luna," Ed stroked his chin, "What's up?"

I look back to Ed with my eyes wide. “One of my clones just found what seems to be the ancient home of the ponies.” 

"Rainbow Valley," Ed cracked his neck.

“Is that what it’s called?” I ask as I think back on what my clone saw then I lift up the map and point to where it is. “The clone was around here before he poofed himself.”

"Ah Dream Valley," Ed corrected himself. "Windigo ran then ot and scattered them so much that they blame each other and fought for dominance until the Unification led by Platinum. Or so the stories go."

I nod and then say. “Even now the whole place is frozen over, good news is I can use water bending to melt the ice. My clone already tested it. But moving on so I should expect you to come over somewhere around a week?”

"Make it a week and a half two at most," he held up two fingers. "Just to be on the safe side of things. I'll come via my own means though, no summon. I want to keep this a little on the discreet side. How is Greed fairing?"

“Honestly the last time I saw him was when I saw Celestia and Luna coming over to inspect the new guard armor I made for them.” I chuckle and smirk. “I surprised them big time with full armor sets for them at an alicorn set for Twi when she is ready. But back to greed, he was mostly just standing behind Celestia, I think they are making him guard her or maybe they found out he has a new power?” I tell him then start guessing.

"Hmmm..." Ed rubbed his chin. "We may need to check on him. The only power he should have are the ultimate shield, enhanced body, and rebirth, Are the curse still visible on him, or have the faded away?"

“I was speaking of those abilities and no the curse hasn’t faded.” I get an idea and walk behind the chair and grab the gauntlet and show it to Ed. “Hey, I’m working on something tricky any on metals that can channel a huge amount of magic that I can use to link the seven gems together?”

"Uru," Ed said immediately. "It's what helps me use magic through my arm and leg."

“Alright, thanks.” I set the gauntlet down and sit down. “So anything else we should talk about before you get back to snuggling with your wives?”

"Hmmm...Watch out for a cello token, or it may be Ichigo's first zanpakuto," Ed advised. "It belongs to Asta's old friend and he's displaced as Ichigo, but as a full soul reaper."

“Oh? Huh could be interesting, maybe he could help me get one of those words.” I think out loud and rub my chin. “Oh speaking of new displaced, I recently had myself a little Power Rangers adventure.” Chuckling i continue. “The guy summoned me and a Charizard to help him on a rescue mission to help save a few old power ranger‘s that were captured by villains.” 

"Oh so ya met Rodger," Ed leaned back in his chair.

“Yeah, he seems to be getting along with his universe’s royal sisters,” I smirk softly. “Lucky bastard.”

"He was forced here about a week ago and help save the Empire from Malice with some help from Spike, Shin, and Pole," Ed rubbed the back of his head. "But enough of that. I need snuggles and rest. Later."

“Alright, enjoy your night Ed.” I wave as he ends the call and I sit back and rub my face. “Well damn, looks like I won’t have dragon slayer magic for a few more weeks at the most. Oh well, next project time.”

“And what would that be?” Blaze asks me.

I open my mouth then sigh. “I don’t know yet.” I then hear pop up so I read it and shrug. “I may as well.”

"He was forced here about a week ago and help save the Empire from Malice with some help from Spike, Shiny, and Pole," Ed rubbed the back of his head. "But enough of that. I need snuggles and rest. Later."

“Alright, enjoy your night Ed.” I wave as he ends the call and I sit back and rub my face. “Well damn, looks like I won’t have dragon slayer magic for a few more weeks at the most. Oh well, next project time.”

Ed woke to the gentle howl of the winds on the protective shield over the Crystal Empire. He yawned and then tried to get up but soon found himself pend to the bed. "What the?" he pulled the blankets back to reveal a nude former empress tightly holding onto his left arm. "That's right I slept with her last night," Edward happily smirked as he lovingly brushed a lock of her from her face. "And then I got a call from a certain red dragon in the middle of the night," he grumbled.

Ed produced to try and free himself from Amore's grasp but quickly found the more he struggled the tighter she held on, "I guess I have no other choice," he whispered, "Shadow Clone Jutsu," he said quietly as a new clone of himself appeared. "Use phasing and switch with me asap. We need to get started on that list pronto." The clone nodded, it and the original alchemist used their ninjutsu to quickly swap places.

"Alright," Ed said as a black muscle shirt, baggy pants, and blue plaid slippers appeared on him. "To the dining hall." He marched off quietly and met everypony else there beside five of the mane six.

Edward quickly explained that he was going to train five or six of the elite Crimson Knights in Canterlot to use the morphers he'd had built by his nanites. He also explained they'd be using theTime Chamber as to cut down on the waiting period before sending them back here. Ed also told the sisters that Amore was going to go back to Canterlot with them but that she was on the fence about marriage but none of them expected her to want to dive into that as she just been freed and needed her time and space.

"And that's about it," Ed sipped his coffee. "Other than the announcement and Twilight's coronation of course," he let out a breath and set the cup down. "I will be leaving after that so ee Deltorix. The young dragon needs me to build him one of my machines, and a few other things will happen I suspect," He looked worriedly at Celestia.

"I'm fine and so is the baby," Celestia giggled. "Always the vigilant father and husband."

"Luna," Ed git his first wife's attention. "Would you and Amore be able to handle things if I took Tia with me to the other world?"

Everypony looked at Edward a little shocked but then Luna smiled. "I think she and I can manage. Twilight can also be there to help so she can get some experience dealing with royal problems, nobles, etc."

"What?!" Twilight looked at her mentor Aand former teacher dumbstruck.

"I agree with you, sister," Celestia nodded and then turned to Twilight. "You may not be holding any major power except for a title at the moment my former student but you still need to learn these practices."

"But...

"She right Twilight," Ed cut off the lavender alicorn. Twilight got quiet very quickly as she knew when Ed started using full names he was serious. "You were already part of the royal family and the mother of a princess. It's best if you learned how to deal with some of the more... annoying aspects of the lifestyle of royalty before you have too many responsibilities of them that you can't count."

"Okay," Twilight pouted.

Suddenly the doors to the dining room were thrown open and in charge a Crystal Guard and Crimson Knight. Each went to to their perspective commandeers on either side of the table, Polearm and Shining Armor.

"What's going on Pole?" Ed looked at his grandson as the knight bowed and stepped back slightly, staying just behind Polearm.

'Shiny?" Cadence looked at her husband.

"It would seem our battles from a few days ago have drawn the attention of our neighbors," Shining Armor crossed his arms and looked at Polearm.

"The knight confirmed it," Pole stated. "There is an army of Yaks headed started for the Empire and they're heavily armored and armed to the teeth."

"But why?' Twilight looked around the table confused. "We've always had a descent enough relationship with the yaks. Why are the coming here with an army?"

"Equestria has had descent relations with the yaks but the Empire hasn't for some time," Ed sipped his coffee. "At least not since Sombra's reign as king. The Empire is a equine-based society but it was never truly apart of Equestria," He looked strongly at his niece and nephew. "You actually have enough territory to rival Equestria in terms of size but you can't access it due the the storms and the drastic terrain shifts that can occur."

"So what do we Aunties?" Cadence turned to Celestia and Luna.

"We can't do anything Cadence," Luna said abruptly then looked at er sister who looked to her niece, concerned and wanted to say something but knew she had no right to. This was Cadence and Shining Armor Kingdom and they had yo make a call on this.

"I know it may seem harsh but Luna is right. We can't do anything in this matter." The young couple looked stumped with utter worry. "At least until you ask us," Celestia smiled and he eyes traveled to her husband. "Though the creature you she be asking is not us but your favorite uncle," Celestia cued in a jovial tone causing said uncle to stop sipping his coffee.

"Ed has experience with the yaks after all," Luna added playfully. "He lived with them for a while during in his days of traveling the world. But you can only ask him Cadence. If he says 'No' then do push it."

'Damn it Luna. You know I would never let this place fall, let alone say no to family in this type of situation.'

"Unc-" Cadence started to say but was cut off by the scuffing of a chair.

"Don't even ask Cady," Ed looked at his niece out of the corner of his eye. The he looked up. "I know the yaks very will. And as long as the stanch traditionalism hasn't changed in the last few millennia then we have already won this fight. Shining," His gazed slightly shifted. "Ready your guards with their strongest most intimidating looking armors then meet me Pole and Spike at the of the western area just inside the gate."

Shining saluted then ran off to carry out his uncle's order.

"Pole," Ed looked to his student slash grandson. "Get you armor on as well and ready the knights," Pole stood up and he and the knight that came in thumped a fist to their chest and held it there as the bowed before running off.

"Spike, you're with me." Ed looked at the aspiring Gemstone Alchemist who returned a steadfast gaze. "I'll get you ready with something I'd hoped to give you on you birthday but this is just as good a time as any, " The young drake gave a toothy grin. Ed looked to his wives, "We'll be heading to Cantorlot to get his armor and pick up one more pony. See you both in few few," Smiled warmly as his Blinked in between the sisters and kissed them both on the cheeks before Blinking over to Spike and placed a firm hand on the youth's shoulder. "Ready?"

"Yea, let's do this," Spike gave a thumbs up and then Ed teleport them both away.

"Do you think he'll ever slowly down?" Looked at her sister.

Luna smiled with a nod, "He will, especially when your baby is ready to meet their father." Luna sipped her tea. "For now just let him be Tia."

Celestia placed a hand on her belly and smiled, "You're right Lulu," she sighed. "I can't wait for the day to meet them either."
