Sunset watched as the field commander, Shining Armor, interrogated the boy that had helped them earlier that day. Though it hadn’t happened yet, right now he was just sitting in the room fiddling with a set of keys. “This doesn't seem right.” Indigo mumbled from behind her. “Guy did nothing wrong.”

“Your just saying that cause you want him on the team.” Lightning replied back. “I got admit though his ability to find doors is interesting.”

What significance did they have that he wouldn't give them to the soldiers unlike the sword and shield which he happily handed over? They didn’t poses any magic in them, unlike the weapons, which had above average amounts stored in them.

“It would be nice to have another member for our search team.” Lemon stated their opinion. “I mean he did pull us out of jam.”

Sunset briefly stored her line of thought about the keys, having concluded that they had sentimental value to him, to think about what the others brought up. The ability to find hidden doors was useful… but could she.. would she let someone else join her team? The team Princess Celestia gave her to search the ruins of Equestria. Which for some reason have been acting up recently. Sunset had her theory, but without further research or proof remains just that.

She was chosen over Twilight, given a team unlike the friendless student. Not that she needed her team’s help. Sunset was given a mission by the Princess and was only occasionally checked up on. Yeah she was the one that demanded that she be given more opportunities to prove herself and gain power.

The recent dungeon they entered was only a minor error on her judgement. It had been notably more traps and illusions then expected, which had quickly gotten her team turned around and lost. Sunset did admit that when the guy showed up, and helped to lead them outside, it was reliving. Not that she wouldn’t have thought of a way out.

But what had kept her attention on the newbie the most was when he assisted her taking down the large zombie. “Did any of you recognize the final move he used?”

“Huh, what are you talking about?” Lightning asked barely caring. Of course she didn’t notice, probably to busy focus whatever she was doing or getting out of whatever stupid situation she was in.

“Do you mean that weird thing he did at the end?” Indigo asked. “I only kind of saw it after the royal guard showed to help take out the rest of the zombie horde.”

“Yeah there were so many of the undead. It was almost like it was a necromancer tomb.” Lemon threw in her two bits.

“Oh do you think that there really is a necromancer in there.” Lightning asked with renewed interest. “Maybe we should take care of it. You know before someone not as capable as us comes by.”

That was a good point but, “There hasn’t been an actual necromancer in Equestria in over fifty year. The only reason there still are rotten corpse walking around is because of their leftover magic.”

“Oh that’s lame,” glad those winds were taken out her sails. “Hey look Shining Armor is about to begin.” Sunset’s eye twitched, the fact that she wasn’t allowed to help in the interrogation irked her. But now she might get answers, to who or what he was.

I was very confused, they took away my sword and shield because they were magic, but not my demon keys? I could sense my connection to the keys, well one key right now, but the others just seemed to be waiting for me. So where was Terra? In the game he was removed from the MC at the end of the game and became an equipable item.

Second thing to come to my mind was who I now was. If I knew I would be turned into a game character I would have chosen someone more powerful. Like maybe… Goku or… I don’t know, Asura. Hell even the MC from Demon Gaze 2 then the demons would be party members and I could fuse. But no I had to be lazy and go with Demon Gaze, where I could only use one demon at a time and not even command them.

Thirdly, what level was I. In my game I was around level fifty if I remember correctly. But now I don’t know, I knew I was at least level five seeing as I had Terra Bane. But then what were my stat spread? Following up on that is that why I could only feel a connection to Comet. Don’t get me wrong I was glad that I was able to see those hidden doors.

Man getting lost in my own thoughts was no fun. ‘Plus now you're an isekai character.’ Thanks brain, you’re so helpful.

Hearing the creaking of the door opening drug me out of my brooding as my head snapped up. I watched as the captain guard… person entered. He wore the same band with a crystle horn on it that I saw a few others wear. Tho his headband was a more royal blue with a pink crystal. And I mean I’m guessing he’s captain, seeing as he is the only person not wearing gold or black stormtrooper armor.

“So care to tell us what you were doing?” The man asked. I should really get his name, and give mine to.

“Hi name’s Oz, nice to meet you.” Wait that’s not my name, oh well keep rolling. “And what ‘doing’ are you referring to?” Oh my god mouth if you get me killed…

“Shining Armor, Captain of the Royal Guard, and the ‘doing’ I was referring to is you being in a dungeon you shouldn’t be.” They actually call them dungeons? Yep I got Iswekaied.

“Well, funny story about that. You see I was just relaxing, checking out some nice merchandise,” I started before fantasy Captain of Wherever I am raised his hand silencing my mouth.

“By merchandise do you mean you were shopping?” Ah pressing me for details.

“Yeah, I was out shopping,” in a sense. “So as I was checking out some the shops I saw this guy wearing a black coat and bright yellow backpack. So being me I decide to see what he had. Cause you see his stall was empty.” Once again his hand shot up.

“And it didn’t strike you odd that his stall was empty?”

“Not really, it was close to lunch and there were no food vendor's around him. Now back to what I was saying. When I got there I saw he had some really great items,” Okay he raises that hand again I’m not going to talk to him again.

“Let me guess when you pulled out your wallet, he took it then teleported you away?”

My jaw fell down for a second, “Yes, that exactly.”

Shining let out a sigh as he rubbed his temples while he pulled out a cylinder device. “He’s clear, just a grab and send.” Wait is this so common that they have a name for it!

“So I’m good to go?” Please say yes.

“Not quite. While you didn’t intend to you still appeared in a restricted dungeon.” Oh, god damn it. “Now don’t worry like I said you didn’t intend to break the law. I’m sure even a new lawyer could get you the minimum sentence. So you’ll just have to come with me to Canterlot.”

Elder god damn it. “Fine take me to your leader.” I mumbled into the table as my head laid, hopefully, pathetically against it. As I moved my head up I saw the captain staring up at me with pity.

“Ah chin up man. Once we get there you can just use your bank account, get some money, and pay the tiny fine.” If my susbishen was right I didn’t have any money. Outer god damn it.

“And if I can’t pay it?” Please let it be light, please.

“Well, if you can’t then you’ll just have to work it off.” Not bad, not bad.

“Okay then let's get going.”

“Good, this works out perfectly.” Shining said getting up from his seat.

As he left my brain took the moment to assault me with every thought it could. Thanks Brain, I’ll give you a raving review, in HELL!

*****

Sunset followed Captain Armor as he left the room. To think Oz was just some random guy who was tricked, and by the oldest one in the book no less. Yeah he was strong but his lack of intelligence, as far as she’s seen, was a major hindrance.

“Ah, Sunset good to see you again.” The Captain’s voice brought her out of her thoughts. “Been awhile since your last update meeting.” Not long enough in her opinion.

“Yeah I’ll grab my journals, we can get this over with as soon as possible.” Sunset always hated this part of her mision. The update meetings were always a pain for her, although the books or messages Celestia sent her were always nice. She could do without her bring up Twilight every so often.

“Actually I’m here for something else.” He said before pulling out a scroll with a seven armed sun seal. “To my beloved student Sunset Shimmer and her Exploration team.” At the mention of them the her team perked up from whatever stupid conversation they were having. Probably trying to figure out what Class Oz was. Wait what Class was he?

It doesn't matter to her, she was just curious. “It has long been sense you and your team have left on your quest. It would bring me much joy if you all would join me at the Grand Galloping Gala. I look forward to getting to see there so that we may catch up personally and I can deliver something very important to you.”

As the captain finished up the letter Sunset’s mind went into overdrive. What was so important that Princess Celestia wanted to deliver it to her personally. “So we going boss?” Indigo asked with barely concealed excitement. It was no secret to anyone that her and Lightning Dust were attempting to get into the Wonderbolts.

“Yeah we’re going,” her mind still a whirl as she considered every possible thing. One thing was for certain, she couldn’t afford to miss this.

“Great I will let the Princess know you accepted.” Tucking the scroll under his arm Shining started to turn around, only to be interrupted by Lemon.

“So we bring Oz along with us?”

“Well Canterlot is the best place for him to be put on trail. Don’t worry though we will return all of his items to him, and keep at least two or three guard with him at all time.” Shining reassured casting a glance toward the cell where the could see him with his head firmly planted on the table. “Now with all that settled we should head back towards where you were staying. I doubt you left your stuff here at some random guard post.”

“Yeah our hotel isn’t far. We’ll grab our stuff, and meet back up with you. Sooner we get to Canterlot the better.”

“I agree it will at least be two days travel by sky boat.” Four if they hit rough weather. “Which means will be right in time for the party.” With that Shining made his leave. With a glance over her shoulder to make sure her team was following her Sunset followed his example. She had to get ready to meet HER teacher.

Author's Notes:

Not as long as the first I know. I'll work on getting longer chapters out but I felt like this ended just where it need. Secondly as for the teleport and grab I feel if I could just teleport people away after getting their wallet I would. Plus I didn't want to reveal Oz's origens just yet. I feel that this will shake up the formula a bit which makes it more fun for me and hopefully you. Hope you enjoyed.
