Rarity was not having a good night. It had not taken long for her to find her prince. But after finding him she was quick to discover just how UNnoble Blueblood truly was. He had only talked about himself and expected her to praise him at every chance. The man had even had her use her shawl to cover up a water spill. Now, here they were back in the hall talking to other nobles. ‘Someone please get me out of this.’

“Ahh, you must be Prince Blueblood.” A man wearing a red cloak approached with another man carrying a sword on his hip not far behind. The first man was a truly great looking figure with fine gold hair and eyes while the other had messy black hair and mismatched eyes.

“I am indeed,” Blueblood said turning to the pair. “And who might you be.” Now that the illusion was broken Rarity noticed how condescending he said that sentence.

“You mean you don-“ the black haired man began only to be silenced by the gold one raising a white glove up.

“Now, now Oz I don’t blame him for not hearing about me.” Finally a noble with some humility. “After all he has his head shoved so far up his own ass that the only sounds he does hear are the gurglings of his own stomach.” Raising one hand he gestured toward the prince’s stomach. “And judging by all the slimming spells you listen to it a little too much.”

“Dang…” Hearing the familiar voice Rarity was ashamed to only now notice her Spikey Wikey riding on the red cloak’s shoulder.

Blueblood ‘s mouth opened and close a couple times as the man turned to her. “Come now my fine lady surely you would rather spend the night in a finer company then these nobles in name only.”

“Yes, I believe I would.” Taking the chance Rarity showed the prince her back as she left. “So, you are my new date?” Rarity flashed her lashes at Ed. He had saved her from that wretched beast in tacky clothing.

“Wait, no Rarity,” Spike yelled reaching his claws forward. “Hey, you said you would help me. Don’t make me fight you.”

“No need I’m not a cheating man.” Ed let out a soft chuckle before pulling off one of his gloves and showed off his favorite piece of jewelry. “So as tempting as an offer you make, I’ll have to decline.”

“And I, as a proper lady will have respect another’s man. Though if I may ask where is your wife?”

“She, sadly, has duties she had to attend to. So as painful as it is to be away from her, we know we shall meet up with her soon.”

‘Was that a threat,’ Oz wondered in his mind. ‘Quick distraction time.’ Finding his target, he proceeded, “So, you’ll fight him?” Oz asked the perched dragon giving his best grin.

“Well, what I meant, you see, umm…” The dragon said while he flailed around like a fish out of water. “Oh, look it’s Rainbow!” Finding a lifesaver, he pointed to someone who took their name to seriously.

“No that’s a person, who could use less color.” The women wore a toga with a primarily white section that went to a rainbow on the bottom section. She wore a headpiece that kept her rainbow hair back from her face.

“What’s wrong with her dress!” Rarity snapped at Oz.

“Nothing it’s just, well I think the rainbow color might be a bit… in your face.” Oz tried to defend himself. Moving slightly, he shuffled his way up towards Ed. “So, master what’s the plan with this one.”

Ed stared at Oz like he was some kind of idiot. “We walk up and talk to her.”

“Genius they’ll never see it coming.” The Demon Gazer praised. They continued toward the girl with Rarity taking the lead.

“Rainbow I’m so happy to see you’re okay.” The purple haired women ran up and embraced her friend who looked happy to see her.

“Rarity how are you doing. The thing with the Wonderbolts isn’t going as well as I’d hoped.” Rainbow backed up a bit. “Wait you seem to be missing part of your dress.” Taking notice of the two others she shot a glare towards them. “Was it those two.”

“No, it was the dra- oof.” Oz was silenced by the elbow planted in his gut.

“No, those two saved me from that beast masquerading around as a prince.” Rarity sneered, “Oh, I have to make my displeasure about him quite--”

“There they are!”

‘Huh seems like today was the day where nobody could complete a sentence without someone cutting them off.’ Oz commented to himself as he turned to see Prince Blueblood being followed by three people following behind him. They wore blue tops with a strip of yellow and tan pants with each one having some type of weapon on them. “What seems to be the problem, my good sir.”

“Step aside servant. I have no time to talk to trash like you.” The prince sneered before pointing at Edward. “That is the man who insulted me. I demand you have him arrested now!”

“Whoa, whoa let's calm down here. Maybe there is some way we could settle this.” Oz said freaking out about this turn of events.

“Yes, I’m sorry obviously you denied normal conventions and shoved your ass up to your vocal cords,” Ed spoke not backing down in the face of another noble.

“Your jester is right, there is another way to solve this.” Blueblood spat as he threw one of his gloves in Ed’s face almost hitting Spike. “Let us see if you are truly a man!”

Ed grabbed the glove before it could fall and almost destroyed it in his grip. “Very well what are the conditions?”

“You and your servant shall fight two of the Wonderbolts. You win I’ll let you off with a warning. I win and you two will be lucky to see the light of day again.” As he finished The Golden Eyed Sage threw back the torn glove back at the owner’s face.

“Fine, I just hope you apologize to the cleaners. I can smell the mess you made in your trousers from here. Oh, I’m sorry that was your breath and rotting ego.” The alchemist grabbed Oz as he stomped away Rarity and Rainbow following behind him. “You can fight right Oz.”

“Yeah, I can fight,” Oz assured him. “Though I wish we had a chance to beat that asshole.”

“We would only be covered in the same shit he coats himself in.” Ed was quick to shoot back.

“Can someone please tell me what is going on,” Rainbow asked. “I mean why are you fighting the Wonderbolts.”

“It’s because of that monster Blueblood. The good sir Edward here was kind enough to save me from his grip, but it seems that he can’t stand a single slight against himself.” Rarity said before putting a hand on her head. “To think you’re in this trouble because of me. Oh, how can I just sit back and watch.”

“Bucket of popcorn usually helps me.” A cheery voice said beside Oz causing him to jump in the air like a startled cat.

“Ahh, pink ninjas!” Oz yelled landing on his butt pointing to the girl who was wearing a bright pink dress with blue and white striped top.

“No, I’m a Trickster class.” She seemed to take a thinking pose. “Though I have always wanted to live in a not so hidden village and wind up facing zombie tree people then have my child overshadow me in the follow up which causes all my fans to cry out. But you better believe that is a story for later.” At seeing everyone's confused face she shrugged. “Oh, how silly I forgot to introduce myself, I’m Pinkie Pie.” Leaning down she grabbed Oz’s hand and started shaking it.

“Who told this world about Naruto,” Oz muttered while shaking the cotton candy haired persons hand.

“Its Pinkie don’t question it,” Ed assured before taking her hand. “Spike you should probably get off, I don’t want you getting hurt in the fight.

“Why do I feel like I’m going to hear that a lot in the future?” Oz mumbled as he started standing up. “Well let's go fight, at least that makes sense.” He started walking to where a large circle had been formed. At the center of the circle were three figures. One was the prince but the other two stuck out. The shorter of the two wore a dress that reflected the night being primarily light blue with white stars scattered about it. Her hair was a lavender color with a pink strip running down it held back by a golden band with a lavender foci crystal.

The taller of the two though stuck out like a sore thumb. She wore an elegant white dress with gold highlights. Her hair was a flowing mass of color with pinks, blue, green, and atop her head rested a tiara and long white foci crystal. Behind her floated white almost angle looking wings. Her very presence demanded attention and respect. So, I’m guessing this was Princess Celestia, the alicorn of the sun.

“What seems to be the problem here?” My mouth asked before Ed could.

“Oh nothing, my nephew here was informing me of how you two challenged the Wonderbolts to a duel after insulting him,” Celestia said like a mother who was told a story from a child. Which Oz thought was accurate given how old she supposedly was.

“I assure you Princess that is most definitely a lie.” Rarity said slowly walking forward. “Sir Edward here- “

“Worry not about defending us. I’m sure the Princess already knows what really happened. So, with all due respect, I would like to get this spar started.” Ed said as he walked toward the combatants.

“Well if that is how you want to do it may I suggest a little change?” The sun asked with a grin trying to break on her face. “You seem quite confident so how about we split the teams? Your companion and Spitfire against you and...”

“Rainbow Dash,” Ed said as Celestia was looking over the other Wonderbolts. All the heads turned toward him. “I will fight with Rainbow unless you have a better choice.” He couldn’t have made the question more baited even if marinated it for four days.

“So, you wish to fight with the element of loyalty?” The matriarch asked as she turned toward the said individual who had adopted a deer in the headlights approach. “If it’s fine with her- “

“YES.” The girl yelled as she sprinted into the makeshift arena. Getting a nod Oz made his way across the arena towards his new ally.

What was today? First, summon another being from a different world, illegally entering a fancy party, insult a prince of the land, then get into another fight. If I survive today, I’m not getting up from bed, or I’m just going to hide under it for the rest of my life. Well on the bright side any weapon the alchemist made had no way to stand up to Demon Slayer.

“Hey kid,” I felt one of my eyes twitches as I turned to face the woman who couldn’t be one or two years older than me. “What’s your friend over there?” Was that racist, it sounds racist. Well, white lie time.

“He’s a Terran if that’s what you're asking.” I shot back as I grabbed my sword and shield.

“No, his class,” Spitfire said drawing her twin blades.

“Oh, he’s an alchemist.” I saw her relax before everyone heard a thud as Ed summoned a giant crystal claymore.

“What the hell kind of alchemist is he?!” Spitfire yelled at me. Is this teamwork building? They have weird ways of working together.

“The best kind,” Ed said as he hefted the blade with ease. “So, you done gossiping over there? I smell some pies and would like one in the next couple minutes.” He turned toward his ally with a calm smile. “Let’s show them what we got.”

Spitfire stood up a little straighter, “Yes show me the strength you used to take down Nightshade.” At both of their cheering the jittering prismatic haired girl settled down. Well, guess it’s my turn.

“I agree with Ed I would like to get started soon. So, can we stop praising her now because if you inflate her ego anymore it'll smother me.” At the dirty glares, I just gave a lazy smile, “What, just saying what their thinking.” I gestured toward the crowd gathering around. Huh looked like purple hair was almost yelling at Spike about something. Oh well, not my problem.

“Well if the combatants are ready?” At reviving four nods the, hopefully, fair Princess slammed down her staff. “Begin!”

I barely had a second as a green arrow hit my shield. The blast of air was expected but the intensity of it was more than Lightning. My senses went off as I swung it up to block a follow-up fire arrow. The arrow hit and mixed with the winds causing a hell storm around me. Sensing another attack incoming I pushed forward and lunged forward right at a surprised Ed who was deadlocked with Spitfire. Seeing me coming he pressed down on Spitfire as his right arm grabbed her scarf. Having a good grip, he turned breaking the weapon lock
and allowing him to toss her at me.

Time slowed down for me as my instincts kicked in. Throwing the shield up in the air I was able to grab her and stop the follow-up air bolt. As we rolled on the ground, I saw my faithful shield get launched away from me. I didn’t have time to see where it landed as I was forced to drag Spitfire away from Ed’s swing. Demon Slayer was raised to block it but upon the crystal claymore hitting it I felt my arm almost break from the hit. And that was with me blocking it with my sword! I can’t get hit with that thing.

Tumbling back a quick Heal spell fixes most of my injuries as I’m quick to drop Spitfire from the awkward hold. “Seriously what kind of Alchemist is that?!” She was quick to her feet and thankfully they seemed to be giving us time to regroup.

“Listen you’re a Pegasus right.” At seeing her look at me I continued. “I can hold off Ed for a while but we need to get the archer down and I can’t fly.”

“You sure, it seems you lost your shield.” I gave my best-determined nod as I watched Rainbow and Ed talk. “Alright think you can give me a distraction?” My mind went wild trying to think how I could pull that off when I heard my keys jingle at my side. “Well let's get the show on the road.”

“Comet, Flash!” I felt something break in my head as a flash of light blinded everyone, well everyone except for me and my allies. Taking the chance, I Concentrated while words flowed from me, “Change gear 2!” In my previously empty hand, I felt a heavy weight fall into it before it lightens to be barely noticeable. The new weapon is just as long as Ed’s claymore back a mix of a bronze hilt and red blade as if it attempted to catch the Sunset. I knew this blade it was Fallen Angel’s Blade a more powerful sword then Demon Slayer but a two-handed sword so you can’t equip anything else but it, normally. If I was able to use both so easily then there was only one answer, I had Gods Arms equipped. Gods Arms allows one to dual wield anything except for bows.

I don’t know what other artifacts I have equipped but right now I can’t care right now. I was nearing my opponent and only had one shot at this. “Terra Bane,” the attack was unleashed but it seemed Ed didn’t spend over 2k years doing nothing as he raised his own claymore and hid behind it. Both swords swung as they both unleashed three attacks. They all hit but achieve nothing more than pushing him back a bit.

“Alright what was that?!” The crimson butcher asked.

“Why that was my limit break Mister Cloud Strife.” My mouth responded. “And this is my spell, Bolt!” The aura spear shot out and hit the claymore only to fizzle out as if nothing happened. We both stare at each other for a second.

“I hope you were comparing me to the Kingdom Hearts version.” Uncovering himself from the blade he stepped toward me.

“... No, the TFS version.” Well if I dug a grave may as well make it one with a clown horn and shoes. Ed didn’t seem to take well to this comment as red lightning flashed across him while he swung his sword at me. “No don’t use your limit break now!” I managed to get out as the massive blade hit the impromptu shield of the two swords. As the swords met, I only had one thought, “OWIE!” I felt my legs leave the ground as I was thrown across the arena. As I enjoyed my flight to painville I cast another Heal spell while noticing my almost depleted MP. As I passed by Spitfire, I was glad to notice that she had taken down Rainbow something. As soon as I landed, we could team up and take Ed… hey was that a window?

CRASH

Yes, yes it was I thought as I now lay against a tree. I felt something scurry up my leg as my foggy vision was overtaken by some rodent-like thing. “Hi, can I be your new King?” I mumbled while trying to use what MP I had left to cast Heal. Not seeing a response my mouth continued on autopilot. “You see we need to overthrow the Tyrant Squirrel King.” Well, that was a dead end. “Now go Joahn, gather your comrades. But it is dangerous to go alone take this.” My hand passed my subject a small veggie. Wait, the item pouch we had healing items! A couple more creatures gathered around as my public squeaker went on about something while waving around the veggie. As my brain told my body to eat something it was halted by vines ensnaring me.

“WHAT IS THIS!” A voice yelled.

“Flee my army, the goddess of nature has turned against us! We shall regroup under the cover of snow when she is weakest!” The creatures headed my advice as they all ran for cover. “You may have my body but you will never break the spirit of freedom!” A blob of pink and green walked into my distorted vision.

“How did you get them to come to you!” The blob pointed a brown something at me. I might be fading and hanging from a tree was not helping. I saw something red drip down my nose. Huh, that explains the lightheadedness I must be bleeding, a lot.

“Common enemy,” my mouth responded, it might have its own energy source. I felt a few of the vines tighten around me.

“Give me a straight answer! I will make the animals LOVE ME!” I felt some MP pour in to me. Seemed enough to Heal with. So, I did which allowed my vision to clear. The blob gained focused and showed a girl with light pink hair dotted with flowers in it. Oh, and the brown thing was a staff so I now realized that I was being held hostage. Well only one way to solve this.

“GOLDEN EYED SAGE! A LITTLE HELP. NOW!” I cried out hoping for some support.

“You used some sage technique? Is that how you got them to come to you?” The vines tightened further properly cutting off blood flow.

“What do you need… Fluttershy?” My red-coated savior asked deeply confused.

“WHAT?!” The now named Fluttershy asked before noticing the large number of faces looking at her. Her face started out a light red before upping the brightness. With a small meep, she threw herself into a bush where her staff acted as a pointer showing where she was. I was still left hanging, get it, by the tree as Ed approached.

“What happened?” He asked exasperated.

“Oh, I was attempting to lead an army against you and she wanted my recruitment techniques.” My mouth went on joyride explaining. Ed just stared at me for a few more seconds before turning to Spitfire who was laid out on the floor near Rainbow Dash. “Darn looks like I was too late to assist her.” Ed gave a twitch before turning toward me.

“You need training.” He stated firmly. “I will not accept any other answers got it?” I only nodded my head too afraid to say anything for once. “Good and one last thing before I leave.” A magic seal appeared before he did his best Gate of Babylon impression by summoning hundreds of swords. “BLUEBLOOD YOU WILL NOW TELL YOUR AUNT AND EVERYONE WHAT YOU DID TO THE ELEMENT OF GENEROSITY! DO SO NOW BEFORE I USE YOUR HIDE AS A TRAINING DUMMY!” At seeing a wet spot travel down the price’s leg along with a few people back away and cover their noses Ed looked pleased. “Well, my job is done.”

“And I’m sure you took no pleasure in it.” I snarked causing Ed to turn towards me with a grin.

“Your first exercise shall be freeing yourself from that trap. See you at the train station, I expect to leave bright and early.” I knew the bastard was laughing to himself as he walked away. I could only turn my head as Joahn landed on my arm and gave me a sad nod while taking a bit of his veggie stick. With that, I hung my head in defeat while I was confronted by a rodent.
