“Feeling better now Luna?” Celestia asked the night princess seeing as the duo had thoroughly polished off to pots of hot tea and mini-cakes by themselves.

“Sisters no matter the world or form you’re both in,” Ed said as he was resting his head in his palm, elbow on the table.

“Yes, thank you, Celestia,” Luna said with a smile.

I nod and smile at Ed. “Yeah, I am just thankful not every Celestia is like mine.”

“Unfortunately there are some that are even worse,” Ed sighed. “But the only one I need is the one with me now.” He smiled.

“I love you too,” Celestia smileed.

“Oh yeah,” Ed said as he held his hand up and a ripple form, and out came a box in a purple silk bag tied with a gold string. “This is for your sister when the time is right,” Ed placed the bagged box in front of Luna. “Though you will have need of it first. Open it.”

Luna looks at it confused before using her magic to open the box and look inside of it. I peek over her shoulder into the box and my eyes widen a bit. “Ed is that what I think it is?”

“It is indeed my young friend,” He nodded. “The one sword solely meant for protection that not even the gods and goddess themselves can deny. A sword with no edge but meant to even sacred life if necessary.” Ed looked at Luna. “Do you realize the resolve that it takes to truly save someone?”

Luna looks down at the blade in awe and slowly picks it up. “I am afraid I do not know your meaning sir Edward.”

“You are closer to it than you think princess,” He softly smiled. “It takes resolve to take the life of an enemy but an even stronger heart to help them.”

“Ed?” Celestia looked at her husband confused.

Luna’s eyes widen as she looks at Ed. “I..see, thank you sir Edward.”

Ed stands up. “I think it time you both walked off that cake,” He smirked as he walked towards the castle.

I chuckle at that and get up, then Celestia, Luna, and myself follow Ed to the castle. “So Luna what do you think of my home?”

“I think it is rather spacious for just yourself Del,” Celestia said. “But of course you have a larger goal and once everything is said and done you plan on hosting an entire town I’m guessing.”

“I agree with Celestia, this is a large place for you alone. I also fear you will outgrow it in the years to come, assuming my sister does not end your life.” Luna said looking around.

“Well to answer you first Celestia, you are right that I plan on hosting an entire town but it will be more like a tourist attraction. I plan on moving this island from place to place across the entire world. Anyone that wishes to stay can but primarily I'll be using this as a way to help relax people like resort and once it becomes famous enough I'll be closing it on certain days for world leaders to come and relax and be themselves without having to worry about being seen as weak by their public or anything like that.” I explain to Celestia.

“As for your concerns about me outgrowing this place as I get older I don't have to worry about that, because of one of my skills size control, I can control my size and shrink down to two feet tall, in fact this isn't even my full size anymore.” I tell Luna, then I grow to my new full size, a bit taller and much more muscular.

“All dragons actually have the ability to control their size,” Ed added as we came to the castle. “It’s one of their natural magics but the dragons of Equestria have forgotten the old was of the once-prosperous Dracanide Empire. I remember a time they had entire buildings made from large various jewels. These weren’t built like the Empire no these structures were grown by the dragon mages. A truly beautiful city it was. In many worlds you can still find ruins of it in the Dragonlands.”

I rub my chin. “I should look into this, I've been staying away from the Dragonlands for the most part, mainly because on my first day here I ran into Ember and well kind of helped her escape her father's watch.”

“HAHAHA!” Ed grabbed his sides. “If Torsh is anything like the one back home and he even caught a sniff of you on her...well… I hope your level is high enough when you meet the dragonlord. Ember though, she takes more after her grandmother on her father’s side. I hope for your sake you haven’t caught the goddess of winds attention.”

I roll my eyes and wave my hand. “I didn't do anything with her other than leave the Dragonlands, fly over the everfree and split up when I saw ponyville covered in chaos.” I then open the door to the inside of the castle. “Besides I doubt she'd be interested in me, and I am more attracted to guys.”

“Did I ever say anything about being attracted to one another,” Ed raised an eyebrow. “Bleau Scale is a goddess and takes interest in what amuses her. If you make a ruckus then you caught her attention. Helping her granddaughter escape her father counts.”

I sigh and rub my face. “Great, another goddess could have her eye on me.” I look over at luna. “No offence, but your sister's glares are enough attention from the gods. I don't want more, especially if I don't have to power ro make them back off.”

“None taken, I know the others can be...tiring and yes Bleau can often find amusement with playing with others.” Luna said.

“Luckily she is playful and not spiteful,” Celestia added. “But she does tend to play matchmaker for males and females alike.”

I shiver and frown. “I hope she isn't as ...bad… as Cadence from the tv show.” I said then look ahead.

“She can be worse,” Ed sighed. “Especially if she knows she can get a rise out of ya.”

I sigh and cross my arms. “Well damn, it is a good thing I am immune to mind control, that one flashback scene is why I try to keep my distance from Cadence.” I look up at the ceiling.

“On no Bleau doesn’t use mind control,” Celestia said as we toured the castle. “She does it the old fashion way of awkward moments and well-laid plans.” She explained, “She can be extremely devious.”

“She tried to get me and Faust together on more than one occasion,” Ed gave a defeated sigh. “She has no respect for her elders just so ya know.”

“Oh well that I can handle, even before I got gamers mind it was hard to embarrass me.” I said as we passed the throne room and I saw Luna eyeing the throne.

We all stopped. “What is it Luna?” Celestia asked the pony princess.

“That throne is so very gody, who made it?” She looked at us with an eyebrow raised.

“I am the one who made it,” Ed spoke up. “But I was only following Del’s designs. So you’ll have to ask him.”

I shrug and sigh. “I saw it on a tv show, and liked it.”

“No surprise there really,” Ed deadpanned. “But the decorations aren’t just that. The statute actually doubles as a protective golem and main entrance to the lab entry point,” he points to the large golden dragon. “Is your allowed in it swallows you if not… then ya stay in it for a little while till it literally craps you out.” He snickered. “Give new meaning to the term shit out of luck don’t ya think.”

“Was that really your intention, just so you could use that line,” Celestia gave a flat stare.

“Maybe.” Ed said in a tongue in cheek method as he slightly stuck out his tongue

I chuckle and shake my head. “Ok Ed as you made most of this place, where to next?”

He shrugged. "Like I said," he pointed to me. "Other than the throne room there aren't a whole lot of really flushed out places in it here. Bathrooms and Bedrooms aside I mostly left it open for whatever ya want to put in it. There are only a few places where I put my foot in, like the armory ballroom, etc."

“Huh cool, well let's move on to what you wanted to show me, I don't have any interest in ballrooms or an armory seeing as I am a walking armory.” I said then fly over to the statue.

"I never said it was for you," Ed rolled his eyes and snapped. Suddenly the two stallions from before were in front of us. "You need to do something with these two seeing as how they'll be staying on the island and working for you. Second, why are you heading to your lab?"

I shrug and said. “Was gonna show her the ‘lab.’ and I don't know what to do with them.”

"Put them to work as grounds keepers or maids," Celestia suggested while stallions merely glared at the suggestion. "Those who do not work will not eat."

"Rightly put sister," Luna said, smiling then immediately and then realized what she said at the end. "I… Ah… I am sorry. I got caught up in the moment," She looked down.

"It's perfectly alright Luna," Celestia bent down and hugged Luna who returned it with gusto.

"Looks like she's been rather isolated since my last visit." Ed came up and nudged me, I looked at him and he motions to Luna. "She needs you, I'll take these two and do… Something with them." He summoned two clones and they dragged the ponies away.

I rub my neck and walk over to Luna. “hey Luna maybe after Ed and Celestia leave you and i can hang out not do anything like work but just relax or something.”

"I would like that very much," She sniffled. "I can speak with Tia very much if at all anymore. After the last time you were here," She looked at Ed. "She changed. She even keeps her student at a great distance."

"Hmm…" Ed thought. "I think we need some fun. To the dungeon!"

"Yes to the dungeon!" Luna calls, then pauses. "Wait what?"

I chuckle a bit and smile. “If this is what I think it is you will have fun Luna.” I follow Ed.

"After doing some research on the last time I was in Del's training I.D. and looking over me, Asta, and his battle footages recorded by Blaze," Ed said as my parrot appeared as a silver cloud then shift into bird-form, perching on my shoulder with a squawk. "I was able to create an artificial dungeon here on the castle for anyone to use as a type of personal training ground with evolving enemies." Luna looked confused at him. "Basically, before you start you're scanned to see your level and so the monster spawners know how strong your enemies need to be. You're constantly monitored so that if you level up so do the mobs. This way you're not stuck fighting enemies that will be under your strength cap and barely gain exp."

“That is very impressive Ed, I wonder how the princess will do seeing as I can’t see her level yet.” I said before petting blaze.

“No telling unless you go in and try it out,” He pointed at the wall. He stopped in front of us. “I disguised it as a wall so there would be less of a chance some would stumble in. Not that a lot of creatures would come into lower levels any ways. Want to try it out?”

I nod and smirk. “How about me and Luna go in together?” I ask Ed.

“Be my guest, it’s your dungeon after all, “ and shrugged.

“Sweet, it will be interesting to see her fighting style, and maybe after that I can see how you would fight all the homunculi at once.” I said with a grin and waved my grimoire around.

“Okay,” Wd shrugged.

“Good luck you two,” Celestia waved with a sly smirk.

I smile at Luna and give her a thumbs up before I turn to Ed. “Alright Ed, how do I open the door?”

“Walk through the wall,” He shoved both of us through and it felt like passing through thick jello. I touched the wall and it was solid. “No use bud. Ya have beat ten major enemies before ya can ask for an exit.”

“Oh great, thanks for telling me beforehand.” I said before rolling my eyes and turn to face the room. “Alright, I have no idea what will show up so be ready for anything Luna.”

“I also threw in a temporary power up system,” Ed's voice came from everywhere. “But you’ll have to find them and no you can keep them Del.”

“Damn,” I crossed my arms. Me and Luna take a few steps into the room when it lights up and changes to a beach. I look around and see palm trees with star shaped fruit. “Ed...if you have any control change it now.” I said while summoning my keyblade.

“What part of automated did you not understand,” His voice came out of everything again. “Yes there’s a default control room but it can only be accessed when this place is shut down. Besides, you won’t die in there. If you run out of health you’ll be sent out.”

I groaned as shadow heartless started appearing. “Not the point Ed! An image of a heartless becomes a heartless, they are like weeping angels!” I yelled before one of them jumped out of the ground and I used my keyblade to knock it back.

“DON’T PULL DOCTOR WHO WITH ME KID!” Ed roared. “These are not and WILL NEVER be true heartless. Now get your asses in gear!”

I frown and stick my tongue out. “It was just my theory, you don't have to yell.” I then saw Luna using a halberd to cut the heartless in half. “Good work.” I aim my keyblade and cast fire.

“These things are much easier to fight than the ones in your dream.” Luna said.

“Well, if Ed is right these are just fakes, while the ones we fought in my test of awakening were real.” I explained as we fought the heartless.

Luna nods as she uses magic to lift the heartless then I jump up and cut them in half. “That was easy.” Luna said and I facepalm.

Then doorways of darkness open and skinny white beings that move like empty rag dolls, named Nobodies come through and surround us. “Luna, remind me to teach you the words that are never to be spoken.”

“I have no idea what you are on about.” Luna said while trying to cut the dusks but is having a hard time hitting them. “Stay still damn you!”

I aim my keyblade at the nobodies and cast fire and magic arrow at the same time. An arrow and fire ball are shot out of my keyblade and they seem to fuse together into a flaming arrow before it hits one of the nobodies and explodes. “Holy shit.”

“Ok that is cool.” I said before swiping the screens away and looking up as more nobodies are swarming Luna. I am about to rush in to help when suddenly Luna yells and in a flash of light Luna is holding a keyblade.

The teeth of the keyblade looks misty like Luna's mane, while the guard is a crescent moon and there is a silver chain on the handle. “What is this weapon?” Luna asked before she blocked an attack from one of the nobodies.

I run over and help her destroy all the nobodies. “Seems you got a keyblade Princess.”

“Wonderful!” Ed's voice came out. “But now that you’ve unlocked a new power you’ll have to deal with new enemies.” Suddenly several new smaller nobodies appeared. “ The Creeper types.”

“They will be no challenge with my new weapon,” Luna smirked as she brandished her keyblade with a smirk. “They are smaller and flimsier than the larger ones.”

Suddenly a several of the new nobodies jumped up and transformed into spears and shot at Luna startling her. She managed to knock several of them back but missed one that shot by her face, barely gracing her cheek. Much to her shock

I jumped in and knocked them back with my own keyblade but none of them were destroyed. “These things were always the most versatile of the nobodies,” I grumbled. “Just cause they seem weak doesn’t mean they are Luna. Stay on guard.”

“Indeed,” Ed’s voice came out again. “The Creepers are the weakest of the Nobodies. It takes on various shapes, making it difficult to read its next move. When it is paired with Dusks they are truly one of the deadliest nobodies out there that quickly adapt to most situations.”

“Yeah, they are so annoying to deal with.” I said while firing flaming arrows at the last of them.

“These beings are called nobodies?” Luna asked while looking at her keyblade.

“Think of them as the remnants of the body of what’s left behind after a heartless is made,” Ed explained. “Like heartless they come in many forms but are still much less varied than heartless types. Eye on the prize princess,” Ed said as the creepers transformed into swords and paired with the Dusks.

The nobodies jumped on us. The creepers swords attacked our fronts while the Dusks took us from the other sides. It was easier fighting enemies like the creepers as they were the weapons themselves but they were much more durable than normal.

I grit my teeth as I push back against the Creeper. “This dungeon is a nice test of my skills.” I said before I spin my keyblade around and knock the creeper back before I grab it and throw it over Luna and pin a Dusk with it.

“It’s why I created it after all,” Ed chuckled as several Commander heartless appeared. “Keep up the good work. It looks like fun I might have to join you. hehe…”

I groan and look at Luna. “Luna you take the ten on the left, I'll take the ten on the right. Try to use your keyblade or elemental magic the most.” I told her once she nodded, I smirked and ran at the closest heartless before sending a fireball into its face, blinding it long enough for me to jump onto its shoulders. But before I could cut off its head the rest of them tackled me off.

I growl and activate my flame hollow skill and start to burn them just by touching them but they hold me down. I struggle and start glowing brighter. “Get the hell off me!”

“Luna get out of there!” Ed called out. “Fly up, at least three feet up!”

Luna looks over to me as I feel something about to happen and she does fly straight up. As soon as she takes off a fireball expands out in every direction from my body turning the heartless that are holding me down to ash and turning the ground into molten rock. I stand up as the fireball fades, seeing about three feet in every direction from where I'm standing has been burned.

“Holy crap, I guess I can still get new skills with wrath energy.” I said after reading the skill and swap it away.

“The dungeon is designed to test you and your skills to the point of evolution,” Ed said. “Nice to see that’s what it’s doing but you won’t be as likely to gain new weapons or drops. It’s not impossible but that system is one incredibly hard to create so it’s a little under sub-par as far as drop rate but the items will be much stronger.”

I shrug and say. “That's fine, my own I.D.s can handle that. This is perfect for true training though.” I then smirk and kick the ash as Luna comes down looking at the destruction.

“Such power yet, it is still contained in such a small area.” Luna said surprised. “I almost fear the power you will possess as a full grown dragon.”

“You’d be surprised what he’ll be able to do with his other powers too,” Ed complimented. “I’m starting to wish Spike was here. He’s been slacking off in his training to studying in gemstone alchemy. He and Rarity have become rather successful in their indiveres.”

I chuckle and smirk. “Hey if you want you can send him here and i can have the two Spikes train together.” I said before the island starts to get dark and I look up to see a massive corredor of darkness. “Shit, well boss fight time I guess, hey Ed does this thing have boss music?” I ask referring to the training room while getting into a fighting stance.

“My dear nephew needs to better himself and it seemed that he was a decent teacher to Quill’s Spike when he was teaching him how to control his dragon slayer magic,” Ed explained. “If he wanted a real fight he’d have to be put in here or fight you though. I was the one the personally trained my nephew after all. And yes it does have boss fight music that will start when you enter the area. Good luck you two. You’ll be facing the Twilight Thorn.”

“I am confused, what does Twilight's horn have to do with our fight?” Luna asked me.

I shake my head and point ahead. “No Ed said Twilight Thorn, it is a large Nobody, think of it like the darkside we fight in my awakening test but white and much sharper.” I tell her before we start heading towards the fight. “Oh and if you hear music that means the fight is about to start.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-DKOaCWHXk

“The Twilight Thorn is a gargantuan Nobody that is clad in a white bodysuit, as evidenced by the large, silver zipper lining its front. It's simple, round head's only feature is a white Nobody logo on its front where the creature's face would be. It has rather thick, short legs with spikes on its hips and long, pointed feet. Its waist is quite thin and has dark grey sides. Its shoulders each sport a gigantic, diamond-shaped spike and its arms are very long, and reach the floor when fully extended down, “Ed explained as thegigantic nobody quickly slithered through the air. “The Nobody only seems to have one distinct digit on each of its hands, the thumb. It also seems to have high-heels on their ankles. It also has four long, blue tentacles with tips resembling the spikes on the Nobody sigil that wrap around its neck. Its overall body shape seems to be meant to resemble the Nobody symbol. Despite its size, the Twilight Thorn has the same astounding level of flexibility as all other lesser Nobodies.”

I look up at the massive nobody and frown. “I want to say I have fought bigger but that would be a lie.” I aim my keyblade at it and send flaming arrows at it. “Lets see if I can ground that thing.”

The nobody simply swirled around my attack and appeared behind us. Its scarfs then slithered out and black and grey lightning came from the tips stikning us. It raised its arms up and smashed them into the ground and threw us up into the air. The lightning then grabbed hold of our limbs and then the Thrn then quickly slithered up in front of us. It took a closer look at use and hen reeled back its right fist readying a punch.

I frown and use my tail to lap my shoulder armor piece activating my keyblade Armor. “Time to take this seriously!” I used telekinesis to swing my keyblade down and cut my arms and legs free. Once free I stop its fist with my own hands. “Tough guy, take this!” I use instant transmission to teleport next to Luna and cut her free then I aim my keyblade and cast slow on it three times.

The punch missed but the Thorn twirled around and added momentum to its initial attack and struck both with a very hard right. The blow sent us both flying in opposite directions. Luan and I couldn’t stop and both slammed into the walls of the chamber creating larger craters upon impact.

“Gah!” I grunt as I hit the wall and looked. “How is he still so fast? I cast slow on him three times!” I complained before I spun my keyblade and ran at the nobody.

“Just cause you cast something doesn’t mean it takes effect right away,” Ed added. “Stop is particularly hard time as well when it comes to faster enemies, especially Nobodies.”

I roll my eyes and jump up and start hitting the nobody with my keyblade and grab onto it so it can't get away from my combo. “Well damn, I guess we go with the beat the shit out of it plan then.”

The Thorn then spiraled back up and spun over to Luna. It grabbed hold over her and looked her over and then threw her right at me. Luna collides with me and we plummeted to the ground, skipping a few times. The Thorn threw it arms out and created a larger sphere of black and whire energy in between its hands.

“Ow! Fuck, Sora made this look so much easier.” I get up and look at my keyblade glowing and grin. “Luna, you are gonna love this.” As the nobody fires its attack I hold my keyblade up and then it flashing bright enough to blind someone as it transforms becoming 10 blades and two shields with eyes on them the shields shrink and slam onto the back of my palms as the blades also shrink down some white and link with my fingers forming to claws on my own.

I then hold my hands out and catch its attack. I am pushed back a bit before I can lift the energy up and throw it back. “Time to get wild!” I then run on all fours at the nobody and jump up after the explosion and start clawing its face.

The Thorn’s scarfs shot from the explosions and wrapped around me and then pulled tight, keeping me from moving. The nobody grabbed hold of me by extending both hands and twirled up to me, pulling me close to its face. It then threw up and reeled back with a twist in its arm. I then positioned myself as I fill towards the Thorn.

“ I think it's smiling at me?!” I said as I readied to strike. Our fists collide creating a shockwave and a crater below the nobody. “Smile at this!” My face mask opens up and I breathe fire onto It’s arm and face.

The noby stumbled back and fill forwards. It laid on the ground only twitching. I gritted my teeth knowing it wasn’t over. Suddenly a bunch of Dusks and Creepers appeared, along with a Samurai.

“Oh come on! This is the boss fight!” I frown and close my helmet and Luna joins me as we start taking out each of the nobodies one by one. I look at my claws as I see them glowing more and grin. “Luna, let's finish off these small fish before I finish off the big guy.”

“Hmhmhm… Be careful…” Ed’s voice rang out. “These aren’t your usual nobodies, remember!”

All of a sudden the Creepers changed forms. Some became spears, swords, and shields but instead of attacking separately they were wielded by the Dusks. The samurai was the real issue, and it picked up a pair of Creeper swords. It locked on to me and charged at me.

I frown and lift my claws. “Oh goody, I get to play with more than one.” I said sarcastically.

“I believe now would be a good time to take things seriously!” Luna scolds me as she fights off a pair of Dusks wielding Creepers.

“Do you want some help?” Ed asks as the Samurai forced me back.

I swing my claw at the Samurai and look to Luna. “Luna get behind me, I have an idea!” I push the nobodies back with the force then hold my arms out making hexagonal shields forming a hallway forcing them to come down it. I then hold my hands up and my keyboard changes again, it glows bright and forms into a large cannon with the head of a dragon at the head. It was so heavy I was forced to kneel to aim it over my shoulder. “Luna, I need you to hold them off for a few seconds just make a magic shield.”

The samurai seems to notice me and lets go of the creeper swords and uses its own swords. It takes up a stances and then vanishes.

“Crap,” I say and then hee a clash of metal and see Luna locked.

“This thing… is… very strong….” She grunted through her teeth. “Whatever thou are anning do it soon!”

The nobodies started to jump in the air. I aim my cannon at them and its jaw opens slowly while sucking in magic. The inside of the jaw glows brighter and brighter till a small aiming sight lens pops out, I take aim and grin. “Luna get behind me now I am gonna fire!”

“Very well,” She said as she forced the Samurai back into the air.As soon as she gets behind me I fire my cannon and the beam of pure light magic is so strong it destroys all of them and I smile weakly as i lower my arms as my keyblade changes back to its base form.

“Did you forget about theThorn?” Ed called out as the massive Nobody rose to its feet again. “Want some help now?”

I sigh and nod. “Yesh come on and help.” I admit defeat.

“Do not give up Deltorix,” Luna said shakily. “We are still standing so we can still fight!”

“Calm yourself Luna,” Ed said as he appeared in front of us with his keyblade on his back. “I know you still have fight in you but you’ve done enough. Not everyone can face off with a boss and a small army as well. Take it easy,” he walked over and looked up to the Thorn. He took off the keybaled and through it up in the air and it split apart and attached to his back. The blades extended down Ed’s arms and then reached out into scythe claws. “Baku; Nightmare Ripper Sacred Cross!” He slashed with his claws across the thorn and it fell back and started to flake apart.

I watch and whistle. “Holy crap, I have a long way to go to match him.”

“I’m much older than you both and have been wielding my own keyblade for well over two thousand years now,” Ed said as his blade returned to its normal form.He propped his weapon against his shoulder. “I am old and that comes with experience and not to mention my master is way worse than me when it comes to training.” He snickered. “The old bastard.”

I raise an eyebrow. “I would be careful with what you say Ed, like I said most Equestrias run on TV logic. saying things like that are a good way for your master to randomly show up like he overheard you and put you through more training.” I warn him slightly.

"He shows up in my world whenever he wants," Ed shrugged. "Our worlds have a bridge that way and he knows I'm not shy about calling him things. As for tv logic, don't even go there man. Him, me, and Optimus spent a whole year on an earth with Bert Gummer hunting Graboids and their spawn from the precambrian era."

My eyes widen. “Lucky! I loved those old movies!” I chuckle and smile. “Anyway, mind helping me test one of my armor systems? All you need to do is stand still.” I ask with a smirk as I look at my glowing armor.

“Hmf…” He smirked. “Yea go ahead big man. I’ve been wanting to test something out of my own too and your armor discharge would be a big help.”

“Alright, though it isn't at full power.” I tell him as I know this will be nowhere near hard enough to kill him as I aim my fist at him. “Tell me when you are ready.”

Crimson flames enveloped Ed's form amd quickly dispersed to reveal his new keyblade armor. Though she'd previously seen Ed's trueform she was still slightly shocked at this new form, until he lifted up the helmet to reveal his face in the suit.

"The original armor was actually just a purified form of my original malice transformation but thanks to a certain Saiyan we both know it was totally destroyed," He said as he adjusted the right arm gauntlet. "I melted some uru, vibranium, and proto-adamantium. Then I threw in the pieces of my old armor into the molten mix. They absorbed the metals and formed this new armor. Though now that I Have beskar it actually subpar when compared to my standard metals." Ed rubbed the back of his head with a smirk. "Now that you have a keyblade you'll also have to make a set of armor like this as well Luna." He looked at the night princess then back to me, putting his helmet back on. "Fire when ready!" He gave a thumbs up.

I chuckle and make a first. “Kinetic burst!” The stored up kinetic energy in my armor flows from every inch of my armor into my right fist, before it creates a ball of energy that shoots outward towards Ed and connects with his chest.

My beam steadily sputtered out and there wasn't even a sign of burning metal on the spot where I'd been focusing my attack. Ed patted his chest with his hand and then gave a thumbs up

"Not even warm to the touch," He said as he dispelled his armor.

I snap my fingers and dispel my armor too. “Damn, well, maybe next time it will be at full power.” I joke and smile. “For now, how about you show me how you fight, but you have a few handicaps.” I said with a smirk.

“My armor is made out of the same stuff my arm and leg are Del, minus the Beskar,” Ed held up a hand. “You did good and if it makes you feel any better I’ve only had to use the kinetic discharge just once in the entire time I’ve had them, and that was just my arm I used,” He explained. “It was during my fight with Black as well and it barely did anything to him. So what did you have in mind for me?”

“I was thinking I could use my grimoire to summon the seven homunculus from Fullmetal alchemist brotherhood, and see how you fight when restricted to just alchemy and your own homunculus abilities.” I said and my book opens floating next to me. “Best part is I have just enough magic to summon all seven of them.” I said before pulling out my sage stone and hold onto it.

“If you want,” Ed shrugged as he detached his arm and leg to replace them with pride shadow limbs. “If you're wondering why,” he looked at Luna. “In human form my limbs are artificial and these in particular have all sorts of gadgets in them that put an entire army to shame. Let’s go.”

I nod and smirk before I say. “Summoning magic, Hero summon, homunculus sin of pride, homunculus sin of gluttony, homunculus sin of envy, homunculus sin of lust, homunculus sin of wrath, homunculus sin of greed and homunculus sin of sloth!” I use up almost all my MP but I summon the seven homunculi. They each appear in shining lines of computer code. “Alright you seven, Your target is that man that looks like Edword elric, try your best to kill him.” I order them.

“You really did create some pretty nice stand ins,” Looked over the homunculi. “But I have handled them ya know,” He sent all of them flying in seven different directions. “The thing about them is to keep them separate. If you ever have to deal with two or more and they’re actually cooperating, then you’re just screwed.”

“Oh seems we got a smart guy.” Envy mocks as she turns into Ed. “look at me I know everything!”

“What a pain.” Sloth said.

“Oh I forgot to mention, when I summon hero class or above they can actually speak.” I told ed.

“Enough talk, we were ordered to kill this man so let us see what he's capable of.” Wrath a.k.a. Fuor Bradley said, pulling out his swords and then looked at Ed with his ultimate eye.

“How ever you all want to play it is fine with me,” Ed shrug as he leaned his head back and looked at Bradley, his own eye change to the ultimate eye. “I’m not human anymore after all.” He vanished and appeared behind Sloth,” You were always the most useless of them all!” He clapped and slammed a hand down on Sloth;s face and in a flash of red lightning, destroyed the behemoth in one go. As Sloth fill to the ground and turns to ash Ed turns. “Who’s next?”

“Impossible! He is like us and...I can’t see a weakness!” Bradley said.

“Who cares, he killed Sloth! He is going to pay!” Envy chanest into his true form, a giant lizard like form with one eye that has multiple irises and the bodies of hundreds of people stretching out from his sides. “Die you worm!” He tried to crush Ed while Lust, Pride, and gluttony met up with Radley but greed on the other hand just stood and watched smirking.

“You know you really shouldn’t jump the gun like that Envy,” Ed said from Envy's back as he was laying down. “I did like you as a character though Hey remember when Mustang was super pissed at you,” He smirked. “That was so funny, in fact,” In a face of red Ed had on a white glove with a red alchemy circle on it. “Burn in hell,” He snapped and orange electricity came from the glove to Envy’s mouth and eyes. The hummunclus hollowed in pain as Ed merely smirked, I found it almost as scary as when he was pissed off, almost.

The others gasp and Pride frown. “I see, he is nothing but a cheap Imitation of us stealing alchemy from others then let us show him who the real power house is.” Pride then sent large shadows after Ed climbing Envy’s body to get to him.

“Cheap imitation you say,” Ed leaned over slightly and smirked. “That’s rich considering I am much older than any of you,” Ed blocks the attack with his own shadow and he vanishes and reappears behind pride. The homunculus turned and the found half his head missing as Ed had slashed it off the a shadow chop of his hand.”I’ve created my homunculus that are much stronger than any of you.”

Price grabs his head as his shadows tried to escape. “That's not possible! We are the perfect beings!”

Bradley runs at Ed and tries to cut his back while Lust sends her long sharp nails at Ed. “We were made by Father to replace humanity.!

“No you were made as pawns to mauve around a chess board, pawns that he easily replaced,” Ed used the ultimate shield to block the attacks. “Just ask Greed,” He broke the nal and punched Bradley in the gut. “Always the eager children to prove themselves to their doting father,” Ed appeared in front of pride and grabbed hold of the shadow and proceeded to rip it from its container. “Greed was actually the smartest out of any of you second rate imitations. So much so the ‘Father’ had to have him brought back from where he crawled off to and even after he died and was reabsorb he still persisted. I have more respect for him than any of you.” He scowled at pride as it faded into ash. “You are the most disgusting one.”

Pride screams as he fades away. Gluttony holds his head. “You hurt Lust! I am going to eat you!” He runs at Ed while opening his larger mouth, his chest opening up showing a gray eye and sharp teeth.

“Such a simple minded creature you are,” Ed remarked as he grabbed the eye in Gluttony’s stomach.”Tell me,/” he darkly smirked. “Have you ever been eaten yourself,” Ed said as he took a chunk out of the blob’s arm with his own gluttony causing the fat sack to cry out in pain. Ed sighed. “I almost feel bad for you,” He smirked. “Almost,” the crackle of red lightning covered Gulltonies body and then Ed dropped his as his faded to ash. “Then there were four.”

Greed laughs and looks at Bradly. “What are you gonna do now old man? He is tearing us apart.”

“Don't you think I know that.” He grit his teeth before using his broken swords rushes at Ed and tries to cut his head off.

“Oh dear I let you pierce my armor,” Ed smirked at the king. “Good forth nothing puppet,” Ed glared as he plunged his hand into Bradely’s chest and sent another surge of red lightning into the homunculus. “I do have some respect for as a human though, and as a fighter.” Bradley smiled and mouthed thank you as he fade away.

Lust stared shocked and backed away. “You don't want to kill me right? A big strong man like you could use a strong woman behind him.” She tried but even I knew she fucked up.

“True,” Ed shook off the ash while Lust smirked. “That’s why I have three already that I deeply love and care for,” hrheld his hand up and she tried to run only for his claws the rip the stone from her chest and crush it. “Harlot.”

Greed laughs and slaps his knee. “Ha! serves that bitch right!”

“Greed you bastard help me kill this guy!” Envy said before trying to hit Ed with his tail.

Envy then started to beat Edward with his tail.

WHAM!

Ow...

“Haha… take that you bastard” Envy chuckled as=Nd raised his tail to see Ed laying in the crater spread eagle with a half lidded gaze staring up. “WHAT?!” Envy started to repeatedly beat down on Ed.

WHAM!

Ow...

WHAM!

Ow...

WHAM!

Ow...

WHAM!

Ow...

WHAM!

Ow...

“Why… won’t… you… die?!” Envy roared why’ll me and Luna just watched with raised eyebrows. We looked at each other though the corners of our eyes then to Ed and Envy and then back to each other. I could only shrug at this.

WHAM!

Ow...

WHAM!

Ow...

WHAM!

Ow...

WHAM!

“Hey could hit me in the face with your claw or something cause my nose is starting to itch,” Ed remarked and Envy slammed his fist down at that. “Thank you…” Ed remarked in a very audible tone if not muffled from Envy’s fist.

Greed grins and turns his shield on and punches his fist. “Give it up already Envy he is playing with you.” He then walks up and cracks his neck. “I may as well do my best.”

“And I am tired of this pathetic display,” Ed said then a giant shadow split him right down the middle.

“Impossible…” Envy’s halfs fill to the ground and started to fade away.

“Not really,” Ed stood up and dusts himself off. “Like I told your idiot brother, I have made more powerful homunculus than your lot and I have fought you before in the past. You homunculus think you’re so superior when all you really want deep down is what humans have. It’s pathetic. All you have to do is choose that for yourselves and yet you wouldn’t.”

“Damn man that was harsh.” Greed said before running at Ed with his fist pulled back for a punch.

“And here I thought you were the smart one,” Ed gave a flat glare. “Do you really want to die in a meaningless fight like your siblings?”

“Don’t have much of a choice.” He said as he punched Ed in the face. “I have to follow the bosses orders.”

“Really?” Ed closed his eyes as he pulled a cigarette from his pocket and lit it with some flame alchemy. “When have you ever been one to follow the boss’s order Greed the Avaricious?” He looked at Greed with one eye.

“Hell no, but somehow this is different.” He said, still trying to hurt head with his ultimate shielded fists. “I am still me and can do what I want as long as I get the job done.”

“Um Ed you know they aren't real right?” I asked, then added. “They are like NPCs pre-programmed with their personalities but they have to follow the summoners orders a.k.a. me.”

“You’re a fool if you think that Deltorix,” He looked at me. “You are a summoner and that means you pulled them from wherever it was they had been. Granted, they could be copies but look at Greed. He doesn’t seem to be a copy to me. He looks more like a homunculus that you’re controlling with the stone I gave you. I do not take joy in killing someone like him, especially in a world that has everything he truly wants and needs.”

I scratch my head. “Then why is it when I summon someone weaker, minion class they can’t speak and act on their own? For example, summoning magic minion summon!” I use my grimoire to summon someone I know Ed will enjoy kicking in the ass of. The state alchemist known as Shou Tucker, the Sewing-Life Alchemist. He appears in lines of code like the others but he just stands there not moving just staring ahead.

“Hmm…” he raised a brow. “No need to get angry Del,” Ed said as he shot a finger through Tucker’s head and expand it into spikes. “I have no qualms about killing him but I still will not kill Greed.”

“Deltorix please stop,” Celestia’s voice rang out, she sounded sad.

I raise an eyebrow and shrug. “Hey I am not mad, just confused.” I close my grimoire and Greed immediately starts cracking up like glass before shattering just like my instant dungeons. “Like I said, I am sure all my summons are from my instant dungeon ability.”

“You clearly haven’t done any research into high tier summons then,” Ed dropped the cigarette and put it out with his foot. “Back home Greed is the only homunculus I didn’t destroy. There was a reason I traveled the world for years after all. How do you think I got all my abilities. He was my friend for a long long time and sacrificed himself in our fight against Pride. That is why I didn’t not kill him.” A Door appeared. “Let’s go. Luna Ihave prepared something for you and it’s yours if you want it.”

I put my grimoire away and nod to Ed as Luna and I follow him. “What is it that you have made sir Ed?”

“One of the main reasons Del called me here today was to build Dragon Lacrima Generator and I got to thinking,” He looked at Luna with a smirk. “Why not give you one. Though this one is a part of my own collection and a highly kept secret of how to make. Not even Del would be able to create this without my knowledge.” We entered a room and Celestia was sitting on a couch and in front of her was a solid Black Lacrima.

I look at it then smirk. “Nice, If that is what i think it is, then it would fit Luna.”

Luna looks between me and Ed then Celestia. “What? Is that crystal some kind of spell?”

“No it is actually a form of concentrated draconic magic very similar to your Lunar sage stone,” Ed explained. “But it is nowhere near the purity of it. This Lacrima,” He picked it up and held it in front of Luna. “Contains one of the original primordial Dragon Slayer Magics. Darkness Dragon Slayer Magic. The Dragon King that held this magic was selfish and thought his race above all others and never taught or shared it thus it is highly sought after. I have prepared a vaccine with antibodies to keep your body from becoming overpowered by the magic’s influence. In order to have this I must implant the crystal inside your body. But it is only if you want it.”

Luna seemed to look at the lacrima for a while deep in thought before she closed her eyes and nodded. “Yes, I thank you for this sir Ed. With this I can help defend my ponies from larger threats. You do not have to worry about me when you give it to me, we Alicorns as well as the other ascended races, are able to regenerate from almost anything I haven't lost a whole leg in battle one time and by the time the battle had ended, it was finished re-growing.”

“The procedure is not jarring. I performed it on Del earlier but to tell you the truth I have never done it on a pony such as yourself before,“ He knelt down. “And I know you are very strong, much more than you give yourself credit for and so is your sister. I truly hope she can overcome her trials and take back her son.” He patted lun’s shoulder. “As for the Lacrima,” He held up an empty hand. “It is done. With this power you can eat darkness and turn it into your own strength. Del can teach how to properly utilize it.” He pulled a syringe from his pocket and injected the shimmering green liquid into Luna’s shoulder as she slightly winced as it was over. “All done.”

Luna looks at her shoulder then back to Ed. “I don't feel any different.”

“Give it a second.” I said while pulling out some headache pills.

“You’re going to want to sit down before it hits,” Celestia said as she used her magic to bring Luna next to her on the couch, resting Luna he’d on her lap. She smiled, “It’s a good thing I’m not further along or I wouldn’t be able to do this. My sister let me rest my head on her lap when she was carrying the twins and for some reason it helped put me at ease.”

Luna smiles softly at Celestia before she gasps as black smoke comes off of her and her body twitches uncontrollably.

“Be calm Luna,” Celestia stroked the princess’s head. “Your body is just bleeding of the excess magic while you adjust to the new type from the Lacrima,” She calmly supported Luna. “This magic is draconian in nature and that of a dragon king as well. It will react slightly more violently than if it were pony magic. Even a Kirin would have trouble adjusting to it.”

I watch as the smoke slows down and Luna pants before standing up and I can see she got more muscular through her fur. “Well done Princess, want some headache pills?”

“Here,” Ed gave Celestia a glass of water.

“Thank you dear.” Celestia then helped Luna drink the pills. “Feel better?”

“Yes, I feel the new magic inside. It is amazing.” Luna said.

“Welcome to the dragon slayer club.” I said with a smirk.

“Take it easy Princess,” Ed said in a soft but stern tone. “You'll be back to normal by the time you're supposed to raise the moon. Affair warning, you may find yourself devouring a lot more food from time to time. Being a dragon slayer you do tend to pick up some draconic traits that slip out every now and then,” Ed cautioned. “Del and I have something to go so will be leaving you here with Tia for a bit okay?”

Luna nodded and laid her head back down on Celestia’s lap.

“Come on Del,” Ed said as he walked to the door.

I wave at the princesses then follow Ed. “So, we made my dragon slayer magics, made my floating island, and have given me and my allies a few upgrades. Whats next?” I ask Ed as we walk down a hallway.

“We’re going to show Celestia the island in its current state,” Ed looked at me from the corner of his eyes. “Put your hand on my shoulder.”

“Oh joy.” I said with very little enthusiasm as I grabbed his shoulder. “Time to hear more about how humans are evil.”

“The elemental has already revived all plant life,” Ed said as I placed a claw on his shoulder and in a Blink we were on Celestia’s balcony. She’s looked better. “Afternoon highness,” Ed gave a genuine bow. “You look as if you’ve been crying. Handkerchief?” He held out a silk hanky.

She takes a deep breath and looks away. “I am fine. What do you want?”

“I know you wish to be strong for your ponies Celestia but what you doing right this moment is exactly what Luna did so many years ago that led her to her downfall. I may not like but at the same time I do not wish ill will or to see you in pain either,” Ed sighed. “As for why we are here, I want to show you something and then I will bring you right back here. No tricks, no pranks, no disrespect just a glance of at something that I hope will ease you heart.”

Celestia sighs and stands up using magic to fix herself. “Fine, let's get this over with.”

“Let us depart,” Ed looked to her. Another Blink and we were in that not far from the islan. It was indeed full of life once more. The elemental now had flowers all over its body and the forest has come back. “You need not freak out. We are standing on a spell called solid air.” He pointed at the forest giant. “A. Truly wonderful creature to have brought the island back in just a day. His name is Gugo Celestia and he is a forest spirit. There aren’t too many of his giant kind left. I want you to know that they only grow when they want to and where they want to. They life givers that is why I left him here and he is gentle unless his forest is under attack. I’m telling you this in case ponies come here once more. He will protect and provide for them. Thus is the job of a guardian.”

She frowns at the forest spirit. “I see, and I also see we are at that damned island.” She looks at Ed. “is this all you wanted to show me?”

“I wanted to show you life Princess, but no this is not what I wanted to show you,” We blinked and we were back in Ponyville, outside Filthy Rich’s home again in the air. “They can not see us. That little filly down there is your granddaughter not to mention her father. His wife is part of deals that are corrupting your land and ponies. If anything, consider what they mean to you. I’m not speaking as one ruler to another but as a sibling, parent, and grandparent. Luna, your son, Filthy, and Diamonds Tiara. They are your Family and they need you and most of all they need you without all of that hate in your heart. I know hate. I was cut off by my parents and my brothers were all I had. Asta was the only one who actually kept in constant contact. My youngest brother would check in,” He sighed. “I both loath and love my parents for what they did. I’d save their lives if I needed to but at the same times I want nothing to do with them outside my brothers. Don’t let hate consume you as has done with me.”

Celestia looks down at the house and closes her eyes. “Take me home.”

Ed blinked us back to Canterlot Castle. “We all lose a lot Celestia, but it's what we have that really matters. I do hope that one day… I can really be your friends,” He walked over to me. “You ready?”

I nod as I watch Celestia go back into her room. “Yeah, lets go.”

We teleport back onto my island and find Luna and Celestia munching on cake. “They look like they’re having a fun time.”

“Yeah, hopefully my secret weapon will be finished before my Celestia falls. I'd rather deal with her myself then have Luna have to fight her.” I said to Ed.

“Do you think you should tell her?” Ed motioned to Luna.

I look at Ed. “I am unsure what you mean.”

“I’ve seen what happens Del,” Ed looked at me. “It will happen, though it seems we have staved it off for a bit but Celestia will fall and you are the only creature that will be able to stop her but you will still need Luna’s help. She is the only other besides Celetia that can wield the sword. I know you don’t want her to but you can’t do it without her.”

I sigh and cross my arms frowning. “Maybe, but If my plan works then Luna won't have to fight Celestia.” I then hold up a hand and make a small illusion showing me fighting Daybraker and blasting her. Then Celestia falls to the ground while Daybraker and I continue to fight.

“Like I said, you’ll need her,” Ed pointed and a Luna appeared in and came aroun to get Celestia and deflect attacks away from ponies. “She won’t fight but she will still be needed.” Ed pulled out a flask and took a swig and then returned it to his pocket. “One more,” he said as he reached into his vault and pulled out a large zangpakuto and tossed it to me/ “That’s Ichigo’s token. He is a lot like Asta but much more blunt. He likes to fight and flows his own since of justice and he will kick your ass. As far as I know his only travels when he is bored is currently under Zaraki as an official member of Squad 11, So watch your ass when it comes to him.”

I nod and put the token into my inventory. “Alright, I’ll keep that in mind. I will give him a call after I do some hunting.” I tap my chin. “Actually I may wait until after the dragon migration I wanna be here for Spike for that event.”

“You need to seriously bulk the little dude up then,” Ed crossed his arms. “Any ways, we should be heading home now. Don’t you agree?”

I nod and shrug. “Yeah, but unfortunately the only way I can bulk up is if I put all my stats in strength and unfortunately if I get more than two hundred above my intelligence stat I'll start losing intelligence permanently.” I sigh and shake my head. “Anyway let’s get your wife so you can head home, oh you will need this.” I pull out the orange lantern battery. “I forgot to give you this with the ring.”

“The little guy doesn’t have a gamer body like you Del. He’s going to have to train and train hard. He’s going to have to run drills like Asta does almost every day in order to keep his body up/ It’s one of the things he was trying to teach back when he was here.” Ed took the battery and placed it in his vault. “Alright then,” Ed cracked his knuckles as we reached the girls. “Time to head home Tia.” Luna looked down at the floor.

‘I don’t she’s actually had time to just be with her sister as in terms of sisters at all. I bet this time with Ed’s wife was the closest thing to it.’

“Hey Lina,” Celestia cupped the pony version of her sister’s head in her hands. “Twilight is going to make regular visits to my sister to learn how to properly use dark magic. Whenever she does let her know you want to come and ‘ll meet in Luna’s library,” Celetstia give Lina a little kiss on the nose. “I may not be your version of your sister but I can still be there to listen and be your friend. Okay?”

Luna nods with a smile. “Of course, thank you Celestia.” She then gives Celestia a wing hug.

“Well, this has been informative and a bit taxing but still, you are my friend Ed, I hope to have a friendly sparring match some day.” I lightly hit his shoulder with my fist. “Safe travels and may the rest of your days be uneventful.”

“I wish you well me young friend,” Ed patted me shoulder as his wife stood up and behind him. They walked over to an open space and Ed opened a portal and his train pulled up, He turned around. “I look forward to the day you wield enough power to face me Del. Next time I’ll have to bring you to my world and put you through a match with a few of my dispiles. My family maybe what you need,” He smirked as Celsetia giggled. “We’ll let you know when the little one is here. Oh and Del, find a few lovers. Male or female, or both. Take care my friend.” they walked onto the train and whooshed off.

I shake my head with a smile as Luna walks up next to me. “Your friends are kind.” she said.

I nod and smirk. “Yeah. Well I suppose you better head home, I have some huntting to do.” I crack my knuckles. Luna knows and heads to the warp gate and I head to my lab to make a plan.
