I was walking out the door with the very quiet guard, and I had no idea where I should visit. Maybe I can go to a donuts shop or something. I turned to my guard, who was about a comfortable meter or so from me.

"Hey, do you know where I can get some bread?" I asked her. She nodded and took the lead. I followed, and was amazed at how not as busy the streets were.

I saw that there were some foals running around, and a pair even ran right in front of me. They reminded me what I had promised to do on Friday. What subject should I teach, or introduce those kids to. I had no idea about magic, my only tricks being maybe a couple of attack spells. Maybe I should work on expanding on that.

I looked over to my guard. She had wings, so I had no hope on her teaching me magic. Though, I could always ask her if she knew anything about flying. While I am able to fly myself without using my wings, I figured I could always learn how to flap them properly to not stand out too much. That, and to pull off stunts.

Looking back up, I noticed that we made it to a place called Joe's Donuts, and walked in. There was a small group of mares on the far right, and a stallion on the left, who was happily chowing down on a bagel. Isn't it almost four in the afternoon?

I felt her bump my shoulder, as she motioned me to go and order. She looked like she wasn't too excited to be here, so I just tried to make it go as fast as possible.

"Hello, what would you like from my sho-" He stopped talking once he realized who I was.

"Oh, where are my manners! Good evening Prince Franz!" He said loudly. I had to force a small smile as he rambled something about me being the best fighter he's ever seen. And bringing up Shining Armor's defeat. I also noticed that the other mares were looking over to me and giggling. I let out a short cough and interrupted the cashier.

"Hey, can I just place an order?" I asked, catching his attention. He stopped his talking and noticed that I was wanting to place an order. His eyes seemed to lighten up, before a small flush showed on his face.

"Sorry, Your Highness, I just got really excited is all." He said, a smile on his face.

"What would you like to order?" He asked me, getting behind the counter and opening the sliding door.

"We have a variety of foods to try!" He exclaimed happily.

"That one." I said, not specifying.

"Er, which one?"

"That one." I said, looking straight at the muffin in the back. He nodded and went over to it and scooped it up with his hoof, before plopping it into a small bag.

"Anything else? Perhaps some iced beverage to pass the muffin down easier?" He asked, smiling like an autistic cosplayer finishing their hype fixation project.

"Thanks, but no thank you. The muffin's fine." I said, going back to where my guard was stationed. I nodded to her and she began following me around as I wandered the city and ate my treat, practicing my levitation spell while I held onto my bag.

I saw a small shop that looked like a book store, and went inside. There was a section for teens and adults, but no children, oddly enough. Making sure that my silent guard was still there, I went to the section where there was a unicorn horn depicted on a plaque.

Skimming through the books, one in particular caught my eye.

"Unicorn's Guide to Healing Spells? Sounds like fun, right?" I asked my guard, who gave a light smile and nodded.

Flipping through the book, it had some of the more essential healing spells by the looks of it. From small cuts, to large wounds, and even some poison and venom treatment spells. I thought it was pretty neat, and decided to buy it.

Walking up to the front register, the store keeper seemed to lock onto me like a hawk.

"Prince Franz? What an honor to see you here! Has anything caught the attention of the Alicorn Warrior?" She asked, smiling widely. I nodded and placed the book on the counter.

"I wanted to buy this book of healing magic." I said. She nodded and checked the book's ID on the back.

"Any particular reason for this book, if I may ask?" She inquired curiously.

"I figured I could do as much good as damage." I responded simply.

She gave a small nod and gave back the book. I thanked her after I bought it, and went to the door.

"Prince Franz?" She called, before I could exit. My guard looked slightly bothered by this.

"Yeah?" I asked, turning around.

"Is it alright if I take a picture with you? It would really help business. And boost sales. This place isn't very popular anymore, and your approval might help with our customer problem." She said, looking a bit down.

Looking over to the guard, she had smiled and nodded towards her. I think she wanted me to do so. It was the right thing to do. Right?

"Sure, I don't see why not." I said, walking over to the counter.

"Ooh! I'll be right back! I just need to get my camera real quick!" She said, opening a panel on the side of the counter and walking through. I saw her disappear into the back of the store, followed by what sounded like her throwing things around.

"Do you think this is a good idea?" I asked my guard, turning to her. She simply nodded.

"Thanks." I said, taking a seat in a nearby chair.

After a few minutes of waiting, the book keeper came out with an old camera and gave it to my guard, who gave her a raised brow.

"Will you please take this photo for us dear?" She asked her. My guard just shrugged and got the camera ready.

Getting up from my chair, I went over and got next to the mare and smiled. I was then momentarily blinded by the flash, and blinked a few times to rid myself from it.

"Was that one good?" I asked. The mare looked at the photo with a smile. A slightly creepy smile.

"Another one, just to be safe." She said. I gave a short laugh.

"Safe from what?" I asked jokingly. The mare's smile got slightly creepier, and I figured to get this over with and get out of dodge.

"Alright, another one it is." I said, getting close to her for another picture. I noticed that she was also a Pegasus, and I got slightly nervous.

"Ready?" I asked, not looking at her.

"For you I am." I heard her whisper. I ignored that and tried my best to smile and ignore her heavy breathing. Is... Is she okay? She doesn't have a heart condition, does she?

After the second flash, I went over to my guard, who had a slightly worried frown on her face. It wasn't until I looked at the photo that the mare's face was almost pushing into my chest, and she had a content smile on her muzzle.

"Thanks you for your time, Prince Franz. You're always welcome back if you'd like." She said, giving me a wink. I gave a slow nod, and tried to maintain the straight face I had on earlier.

"Yeah, it was nice meeting you. See you around?" I asked, trying to be polite and quickly end this.

"Yes. Around." She said, giggling lightly. NOPE!

"Alright. Let's go." I said to my guard, who looked fairly uncomfortable as well. If that blush was anything to go by.

After making it outside, I took a quick look at the stores name. And promptly groaned out of embarrassment.

"Oh my god." I said, as the name read out 'Sandy's Exotic codeX'.

I heard my guard let out a small giggle, and began making it back to the main road with my book.

Only to realize that I didn't have it.

Panicking, I looked around my body in hopes of finding it, frisking myself and realizing that I didn't have any pockets.

"Ahem."

I looked over to my guard and saw that she was carrying the book under her wing.

"Oh thank gosh. I didn't want to go back in there to get it." I said, letting out a sigh of relief. My guard gave me a simple nod, a small frown on her face as she silently fell in line next to me.

After that incident, I pulled up my visor and did a sweep of the city for anything that caught my interest. There was a bowling alley I could visit, and there was also a movie theater, but I would rather go there with Luna. Maybe Celestia if she wanted to come. But no Blueblood. He seemed like he needed a serious mental check.

I also checked for any restaurants. There were plenty here in Canterlot. With the closest being a five star. Damn, now I feel hungry again. NO! Nooo body! You are not hungry yet!

How I did all of this, you may ask? Well, I just imagined all the information into the visor's map and made key points in the map as I went along. Similar to how google works, but better with little to no lag. Unsurprisingly, it didn't give me any of the reviews, but it was a expected.

After I did this, I made my way towards the castle.

I made it there with little to no problem, and I said goodbye to the guard that was with me. She gave me the book and simply nodded. I knew that I'll run into her eventually, and maybe she'll be regularly assigned to me. Maybe.

I went to my room and saw that the door was slightly open. Not knowing who was in there, I checked the motion tracker in the room. It labeled them as Friendly, and I walked in and saw Luna, who looked like she was taking a nap on my bed. I smiled and went into the bathroom. I felt as though I had accomplished a lot today. Even though I was here for the whole time.

Going into the bathroom, I turned on the showers and removed all of my armor capsules and hopped in for a quick hot shower.

'Why aren't IPhone chargers called apple juice?'

It was rather pleasant, and I finished it quickly by washing off all of the sweat on me.

Stepping out, I floated over a towel and began drying myself with it. I was still wary about just shaking it all off with what happened with Luna's spell thingy. How she managed to do that was pretty scary.

Once done, I called over my capsules and checked the time. it was almost time for dinner, and I was felling a bit hungry. I went into the room and saw Luna still sleeping. Walking over to the bedside, I grabbed a mirror and placed it under her nose.

I then let out a sigh of relief, as her breath was still present whenever she took in air. I was worried for a second, even though my worry was mostly in my head.

Climbing on the bed, I slipped up behind her and gave her a surprise hug from behind. I heard her hum and lean into me, feeling her soft fur on my neck. She fluttered her eyes cutely, and I stared at them with a genuine smile.

"Afternoon, Luna." I said, bumping my nose with hers. She smiled and pushed hers into mine, holding it for longer and stealing a kiss.

"Good evening, Dear Franz." She said, turning her body and facing me fully. She gave me a hug, which I returned with great pleasure.

"Where was thou?" She asked.

"Oh, you know. Just doing stuff. Like getting a book and buying it." I said, lighting up my magic and bringing it over to us.

I brought it up to us and I showed it to her, presenting it proudly as it hovered above us.

"A tome about healing? Why would thou need that? We have plenty." She said, skimming through it. Her eyes widened and she recoiled as she read something.

"What is it?" I asked, turning towards the book page she landed on. I saw that there was instructions on how to bond someone with another, but it looked pretty high class, with it being nearly a level 9 spell.

"Was thou imposing that we attempt a soul bond ourselves?" She asked, flipping through the book. I hadn't even thought about that since yesterday.

"Well, I didn't know that the book also had that particular spell. So this is kinda new to me." I said, looking back to the front of the book. It didn't have the words that described any bonds or links, but it was fairly new, being published almost a year ago.

"But I don't think that's possible, since I only know like, two spells." I reasoned. She frowned slightly, and set the book down.

"Perhaps we should contact somepony that specializes in soul link and bonding magic." She said. I checked the time and it was very close to dinner time.

"Maybe we can discuss this after we eat. Celestia might know where we can find someone who does this sort of thing specifically." I offered, getting up into a sitting position.

"Yes, afterwards."

We got up and went towards the dining room, where Celestia was already there. When she saw us enter the dining room, she smiled.

"Hello Luna, Franz." She said.

"Yo."

"Greeting's sister."

"What have you two been up to? No good I assume?" She asked, getting a little smirk.

"Well, I wouldn't say no good." I said, giving a quick head tilt.

"And that means?" Asked Luna.

Staying quiet, I went over and sat in my respected chair.

"Franz, what do you mean by that?" Asked Luna again, following me over to the table.

"Whatever you want, Luna." I said, after some very careful thinking.

"I uhm... Okay?"

The doors opened and a few servants came in with several platters of food. One was set in front of me and was opened to reveal a smoked salmon, with a side of hay fries and a some mashed potatoes. And I gotta say, this looks very satisfying.

I saw that Luna was eating what looked like a breakfast with some pancakes with syrup, and she was stuffing them in her mouth faster than I would be able to. I was impressed, and smiled before looking at Celestia's, which was a small cake. My smile turned into a grin.

"Celestia, what did I tell you about getting extra thi-" I didn't finish my sentence as a piece of cake hit my face, causing me to flinch back out of surprise.

"......" it was deadly silent in the dining room. Luna looked shocked, I was surprised, and Celestia had a smirk, while the guards had varying degrees of worry.

My horn lit up, and lifted a piece of potato. Celestia had gained a challenging look, and so did I.

I then put the piece in my mouth, chewing the soft chunks before swallowing, and successfully defused the situation. I hoped.

"Are you not going to retaliate?" She asked, looking slightly confused.

"Why would I? I am not going to stoop, or rise to your challange..." I said.

Celestia was then slammed into from behind with a large pie, surprising her as her head bounced off of the table as her cake was now ruined and all over her.

"...However, the same cannot be said for Luna." I continued. I laughed as Celestia raised her cake covered and glared at us.

"Five."

"What?"

"Four."

The servants quickly made their way outside and shut the doors behind them, making that unmistakable sound of it locking.

"Three."

"Luna?" She mouthed the words 'Sorry' and teleported away.

"Two." Her horn lit up brightly.

Hopping out of my seat, I slammed into the doors, hopping that they would open. Even shaking them with my unnatural strength.

They didn't, however.

"One."

"NOOOO!"

The windows that allowed light to enter the dining room in the Canterlot Castle were suddenly blocked off with soot and ash, followed by a loud, but quick, bang.

After our little incident in the dining room, it took me four god damn showers to get all of the soot off of me, and another two to get it all out of my hair and tail. Did she enchant the magic she used to make it this sticky to me!? The hell! Once I finished, I checked the clock and saw that it was close to midnight, and I took a risk and shook all of the water off of me in the bathtub.

When I stopped, I figured that Luna wasn't in the bathroom, and I dried off with a towel, levitating my capsules over for cleaning as well. I didn't know how to clean them, so I just imagined them to be cleaner that they already were.

They turned very shiny afterwards, and I just went with it. Huh, maybe the blast wasn't enchanted after all, and I just can't bathe this form very well.

I heard a knock on the door, and went to open it.

"Hello?" I called, waiting on the other side.

"Dear Franz? Tis Luna." She said, opening the door. I moved out if the way so that she wouldn't hit my face with it.

"Yo, whatcha need?" I asked, giving her a hug.

"We believed it would be time for thou to see your memories on the battle with Discord, perhaps where we left off." She said, getting straight to the point and taking me by surprise.

"Oh, okay. Just let me get ready first." I said, taking off the capsules and setting them on the drawer next to the bed. I also took off the visor, but with much reluctance. I set them along the other capsules, and went to the bed. Sleeping with something on your chest, especially if it's hard, can be somewhat bothersome, if not painful if you slept in a awkward position.

Climbing under the sheets, I motioned Luna over as well. She also took off her slippers and other jewelry and climbed into the bed with me, getting on top and not minding the sheets that divided us.

"Shall we begin?" She said, her horn lighting up with magic.

I gave a quick peck on her cheek, which she smiled from, a light flush in her face.

"Now I am." I said, smirking from her embarrassment.

"Very well. Now this may seem painful, but we believe thou's pain tolerance is fairly high. So thou shouldn't feel anything too troubling since we are going to access the hidden parts of thou's memories."

"Well now I don't want to do it since you said thaaaaaaat." I trailed off, feeling myself slipping and going unconscious very rapidly.

The last thing I saw was Luna's face hardening slightly, her eyes shutting as she pushed her magic into my head.

I was in the void again, and Luna was there with me almost instantaneously. She quite literately popped into existence as she scared me from behind.

"Jesus, of all of the transitions, why do you use that one?" I asked her, looking for an answer.

"Forgive me, but we do not know of any other 'Transitions' thou speaks of." She countered, frowning slightly.

"Sorry, sorry. I didn't know at the time." I said, backing down. I saw that I was in my Human form, and it felt weird after being a pony for a while.

"So, what now?" I asked, knowing exactly how this was going to turn out.

"We shall show thee the memories thou has hidden away, breaking the barrier your mind as created to protect thou from any harm that may be induced from remembering." She said cryptically.

"And that means?" I asked.

"We are going to view the memory of your battle with Discord. The one who had possibly put this ailment on thee." She said simply.

"Neato, when do we see it?"

"Now."

I was going to question her about that, when the world around us suddenly exploded into color. Looking around us, I saw that I was on the ground, but it was different this time. There was large pieces of stone and dirt floating around, seemingly like in an arena if the red tinted dome barrier was any indication.

The past me got up and created something on his wrists, and shot out webbing onto a far stone and brought it back to him.

He then launched it behind him, hitting the now identified Discord between the eyes. Discord didn't even flinch.

"Oh, what fun it is to mess with a newbie. How long have you had this power? Hmm? I'd say around a year at most."

A large fireball erupted from the past me's palm, which surprised me and Luna. Discord simply slapped it away and it hit the barrier, which absorbed it within a second.

"You see, there's not much of a difference between us, Franz." Discord said, smirking lightly. Past me only scoffed, and glared at him with an intense hate.

"You really think that I'm the same guy from a few days ago?" He asked. Discord laughed at past me, like I was a joke.

"Wow, you really are an Element! HA! Who's role did you take over? Was it Light's? Nah, he's too pure, how about...Life's? Or Death's, since you killed so many humans and a god from your home world? Hmm? Who's did you take? Surely you couldn't be mine."

"I don't know. I'll leave that to your Imagination." He said. I could feel the air get stale, and the sense of dread fall over. Discord gained a look of surprise, before it turned to a mix of fear, and anger.

"You have no right to mention that Element!" He said, making a dash for past me. Everything slowed down from my view, and Luna could also feel it.

"Dear Franz, could thou always control time? Or is this a technique you possess?" She asked me.

"Yeah, pretty much the first option. And the second one too." I responded.

The past me walked up to Discord, and gave a powerful uppercut to his jaw. Time resumed to it's normal pace, and Discord was sent flying into the air.

Creating a energy dagger in one arm, the past me shot out a web, sticking it to Discord, and slung him back to the ground nearby. He jumped in and began slashing at the exposed parts of his joints, the wounds cautorizing before bleeding could start. Discord thrashed around, trying to escape, and used a teleportation spell to get away.

"Stop! If you kill me, then who will bring about chaos in the world? Who will balance the Chaos and Harmony? Asheal and Discord? You'll kill us both!" He tried to reason.

"I'll be both!" Past me cried. Luna looked slightly confused on what was going on, but I wasn't sure either.

Flickering out of sight, he reappeared next to Discord and grabbed onto the arm that had the most damage on the joint. With a quick pull, the arm popped, stretched, and tore off in an instant. He screamed as blood spurted out of the socket that was once connected to his body.

He threw a wild attack, which connected with past me's head, and an explosion of violet energy launched him through several of the floating pieces of ground.

Discord then charged at him with his rip off trident and launched it into him, pinning him to the swaying debris.

In a violent explosion, Discords arm reformed and turned back into a lions paw. He flexed it and his trident came flying back to him, with past me being dragged along with it.

"You may be Imagination's choice, but that doesn't mean that you can kill another Element. We are fundamental! HA, we can create worlds that can break one resol-"

"Shut up."

...

It was silent for a few seconds, and I was wondering what past me was going to say. Discord looked somewhat offended, but waited for past me to respond.

"All you ever do is talk about how you're 'Idea's' work, how you acquired the power to do so, blah blah blah. It's all the same." He said. A blood stained glove grabbed the energy trident, and began burning away the material it touched.

"But if there's anything that can get in your way, it's me. Another fundamental, am I not right?!"

Holding my breath, I contemplated on what I was saying.

I saw small cracks at the part of the trident that was stuck in the armor. Discord didn't notice, but I did. Looking over to Luna, I saw that she was watching the scene unfold with an intensive stare.

"I know what it means to be a villain, I was one in my home world. I killed the god that was supposedly watching over us, because I was going on a rampage with no one stopping me. I'm not trying to kill, they just keep getting in my way." Past me raised his head, and revealed that he was indeed teary eyed through the depolarized visor. A sudden scowl replaced his face, and his eyes glowed a bright blue.

"That's why I'll do anything to protect the one's I care for! Even if it'll kill me! I'll find the fucker who gave me this power, and make him take it back! I don't want this! I hate it!" The piece of the trident he was grabbing shattered, and my past self grabbed Discord by the neck.

"Then give me your power, and I'll help get the life you once had back. You can go off home and back to your little Cadence, even though she was trying to get to your power."

In a bright explosion, Discord was blown back and into the barrier, which it bounced him back off of. Past me burst with power, which took a fiery tone, pulsing with energy.

"YOU WILL NOT SPEAK OF HER NAME!" He screamed, and proceeded to charge him again, this time a fiery blue flame surrounding his body.

Discord repaired his trident, and launched it at past me with great speed. He just knocked it away and brought up his own staff, and it formed into a strange mixture of a staff with a diamond shaped pike. It was really a sight to see, a reality bending Spartan charging a weird monster thing who had similar abilities.

Discord made another one, and the two weapons clashed blinded us. Luna seemed somewhat nervous about what Discord had said, but I wasn't worried. I was pissed, both then, and a bit now.

They swung their weapons again, and began trading blows, which they both either blocked or countered, both of them seeming to try and genuinely kill the other. I wasn't sure how I was still standing, even after some of the things Discord threw at me.

Discord got a lucky hit, and brought me down to a knee. Raising his trident, it he brought it down and hit the ground, demolishing the chunk of platform I was on.

Past me blurred behind Discord, and had the spear speeding towards the unprotected neck area.

Discord knew this and blocked it with the arm guard he had on his claw. He reached for past me, but past me instead shot out some webbing and blinded Discord momentarily.

Discord shot a blast of magic and paralyzed my momentarily, causing me to twitch violently for a bit and then letting me relax, as he tore off the webbing from his face.

"What's the matter, can't keep up?" He said

"Don't watch the mouth, watch the hands." Past me said, before turning into a plume of smoke. More webbing spattered against his face, keeping him blinded for a bit longer.

Past me reappeared and shot two webs into Discord's torso, and began swinging his around before slamming him into the barrier. He bounced back and finally removed the webs from his face, only to get a fist to smash into his skin tight armor.

It glowed purple and I was starting to get worried. Not for me, but for Discord.

Discord tried to claw at him, but past me countered his paw and snaked his arm around and made Discord lock up his chest. In an instant, past me brought his free fist and slammed it into his throat, stunning him before twisting discords paw and forcing him into the ground.

With another quick flick, past me had snapped his arm at the elbow, forcing a cry of pain from Discord as he began to get enraged.

Discord flexed his power, and knocked past me off and onto the ground. Now Discord may seem bigger, but that only meant that I was faster.

Rolling to the side, past me narrowly dodged a trident to the head, followed by several more following after him.

Discord looked pissed now, and was charging me while I was down.

Suddenly, Discord erupted into black flames, and hissed as they burned away his armor and ate at his skin. Taking advantage of his distracted nature, past me created another diamond staff and launched it at him.

It hit him in the knee, and brought him down and struggled to rid himself of the black flames. Past me materialized Captain America's shield and bashed it into Discord's face, knocking him down as past me pulled a gun and shot him in the other knee and arm.

Discord screeched in agony, and flexed his power again, this time dispelling of the Amaterasu and throwing it into the barrier.

Past me's right hand was glowing purple for some reason, and charged at Discord once more. I thought I caught glimpse of something embedded in his palm, and knew what it was.

Time seemingly slowed down as past me got closer. I think I was going all out with this final attack.

"Infinite-"

Discord was recovering from his power flex, and noticed that I was nearby.

He tried to move away, but a pair of golden chains wrapped around his arms, keeping him steady.

"Falcon-" My fist began burning red, and a fire took the shape of a small bird.

Another clone popped up and released a powerful punch to the head, stunning him slightly.

"Power-"

Discord realized that he was trapped either way, and couldn't escape the final attack.

"PUNCH!"

Discord seemingly readied himself, and took the full force head on. Past me's fist erupted in a shower of red and purple power, a large glowing phoenix with purple wings slamming into the armored part of his chest.

It held at first, before giving way to the might of the Infinity stone's power and shattered, digging into his flesh and bone, ripping it all apart.

Discord way then launched away and into the barrier, shattering it and his resolve, the chains binding him breaking and disappearing into the ground.

Past me was looking pretty exhausted, and promptly powered down in a flash of blue. He fell and seemingly passed out.

After a moment of laying there, he got up and made a portal of spinning magic, the same one from Doctor Strange, and grabbed Discord and made another portal, and hopped back into Equestria.

[Stop here]

The memory faded, and I was back in the void with Luna, who was looking somewhat bothered.

"Luna, are you shaking?" I asked, I thought I saw some sort of dark tint in her cheeks, and she lunged herself into my chest, and began giving me kisses all around.

"Hey, hey, what's this all about?" I asked her. She didn't respond, and gave me a passionate kiss on my lips. I was surprised, but didn't fight back. I slowly returned it.

She then accidentally stepped on my foot, and I woke up.

That took longer than expected.

I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter! I had fun writing the fight scene with Discord and the past version of Franz. Although, I had trouble timing the music. So I just put in what I knew and tried it out a few times.

I'm also thinking about getting a editor, but I don't know. I kinda like the way these things turn out.

Anyway, I'm still up for talking with you humans, just send me a PM and I'll get to you as soon as I can!

Another thing, I might not get this weekend's chapter in, so hang on with my erratic updating.

Later!

Update: Aaaahahaha! I am still alive! And as for one of the songs, I am aware of it not working. Thing is, I have no idea what it was beforehand, so apologies.

Update 2: Found the song, and changed it for something else. Original was this
