The Trio stood at the alters top, each trying to figure out what just transpired between them.

“I’m not Bottom.” Ben told the other two. “Just...gonna get that out of the way since at least six people are thinking of it at the moment.” The dire wolf said while seeing there was a Rune in the room.

Zeke facepalmed. “Is this even legal? It was just meant to be Eclipsa and I.”

Blueblood, the one who married them, flipped through the books pages. “Uhh… Well the wording was meant for if more than just two parties were involved… so technically yes… you three are all married as you all kissed…”

“.....Son of a.. brownie.” Eclipsa said, correcting herself for the younger children present. “Well…. Now I'm married to my cousin and step brother…. Insest jokes in the comments. Best one gets a cookie.”

“Well glad to know your still okay after...god knows how long we haven’t seen each other Eclipse.” Ben said honestly. “Like seriously...it’s been forever.”

“Yep. Female, goddess, admin of Gray, pregnant copy over there, now Wielder of Zeke. Now married to you…. You could say that's just a typical Tuesday for us but this is insane, even for our authors.”

“I’m the King of Nothingness, Admin of Nothingness, and now…” Ben raised a hand, starting to hear some low rumbling. “My family is coming here.” He said while everyone with a decent set of ears could hear someone on a megaphone.

“And just like that, shit hits the fan.” Zeke said, head hung low.

“Well, there goes my hope for a simple family life.” Eclipsa said, seeing the hill in the distance not look like a family, but a literally army. “Oh and Ben, it's Eclipsa now. Sounds more feminine.”

“I...am so sorry.” Ben sighed out. “Damn it Jenny...how did she know about this so fast?”

“Wait. Jenny as in my little cousin?” Zeke asked.

Josh started laughing his/her ass off. “I take that as a yes Zeke.” Eclipsa deadpanned.

“... Welp, this can’t get any weirder…”

“You just had to open your mouth, now by law of literary taboo it needs to get weirder…” Eclipsa groaned.

“You do know Rune is passed out on the ground right?” Ben asked while pointing to said mare that is on the floor, a small puddle leaking from her legs.

“Yes, yours and mine, both wet from the waist down.” Zeke said. “Run?”

“They aren't the only ones….” Eclipsa said, pointing to a male Fluttershy, Butterscotch, as he looked at Eclipsa with bedroom eyes. “Zeke, Ben, as our first act as a married trio….. RUN!!!!!”

“Now...about that…” Ben started with a raised hand...only to disappear with a cloud of smoke in the shape of him as he bolted as fast as he could.

“...And suddenly Looney Toons.” Zeke said, Eclipsa vanishing with him right behind her.

“Beep beep motherfuckers!”

The trio made it to another world before stopping, this one was some kind of future one with only humans. So, Both Eclipsa and Ben shifted to human form to blend in. “So… how exactly did you appear in our kiss Ben?” Zeke asked.

“Yeah, I'd like to know as well…” Eclipsa said, summoning a mango smoothie to drink. She needs to break her Palpu fruit addiction anyways.

“Well...I blame Lord mostly.” Ben said with a shrug. “Was going to be trained to be an Admin, took perfectly reasonable offence to being told ‘you now have literally everything handed to you’, and then Lord forced me into the future without telling me literally anything about what to do to get my powers back after he took away all my powers.” Ben explained.

“So… how does that lead to being in the middle of a marriage that already was kinda forced to happen?” Eclipsa asked, brushing her hair out of her crimson eyes.

“Lord.” Ben said. “He said, and I quote ‘I got bored, so here’s your powers back and I’ll think of something else’ and then he teleported me there for...whatever reason.” He rolled his eyes. “So how have you been Eclipsa?”

“Huh… Now I’m a bit confused actually.” Zeke said, the trio in a park speaking, and he took a seat in the rass. “Lord’s acts rather… well, manored and such, so why the sudden acting different?”

“My bad.” Cript said, appearing between them all and making them all jump.

“Fuck dad, a little warning next time!” Eclipsa yelled

“Hey, you’re the one who is now married to your brother and cousin, that curse just bought you your own incest joke.” Cript laughed.

“I mean...my family already had that covered with Jenny and Joy all things considered.” Ben brought up. “Seriously, did people forget that?”

“And the pile continues…” Zeke sighed.

“Anyway, so I’m sure one of you heard that I already killed Vincent.”

“Yeah, I wonder who.” Eclipsa says before she looks at the readers. “Last chapter of Balance and Keys, as well as Xinrick's latest chapter for the idiots out there.”

“I did, Agamemnon told me about it.” Ben said. “And really? Big bad that you said was supposed to be super evil and all that, just up and gets killed without...actually yeah without literally anyone knowing? Like seriously killing a Fact would have made anyone with any sort of power notice that.”

“It's almost as bad as that one epic cutscene in Anthem. Really awesome piece… nothing like that in the game.” Eclipsa complains.

“First, I don't just live chapter by chapter like some of us here… Second I did kill him, but sadly a Fact itself can’t die… So, killing him made me that fact, then, I moved it to another. Someone trustworthy of being evil… sounds weird but it’s true.”

“I'd vote any of the Overlords form the Overlord series. Seriously, those guys are evil, no two ways about it, but at least they are better than what came before them.” Eclipsa says before looking at her drink. “Damn drank that fast.”

“Alright, so...how the hell are we going to do...literally any of this?” Ben asked curiously. “Am I going to have to stay here with you two all the time or…?” Ben asked, not sure if he’s also stuck like Zeke and Eclipsa.

“Well I can’t get too far away cause of I’m her X-blade.” Zeke said. “You don’t really have an excuse to stick around.”

“Yeah. We are physically stuck together which is why we were marrying in the first place. You don't have to be around all the time… Though visiting would be nice as we are all legally married now. Besides, I could take you to the place where Zeke and I trained for the last… seriously how many eons was that?” Eclipsa said

“Don’t know, didn’t count.” Zeke said.

“Well in any case you can all guess what comes next.” Cript said.

“I want to say a big whole shebang with fire, explosions, and a budding romance between a few individuals who won't just take the time to confess their love…. But our husbands and wives are right behind us, aren't they?” Eclipsa said

“And a lot of my kids.” Ben said while his ears twitched at the far off sounds of his kids meeting the others.

“No, thankfully.” Cript said. “It’s time for my retirement. Death no offence but Max can screw himself I’m done.” Cript said, taking a big exhale. “When I do this. I’ll be, strength wise, like any normal person. Still immortal, but not that strong at all. Nothing even near what I am now… I’ll be using all of my power in this, and taking the time to remove that family curse, so Zeke’s kids don’t become Ben’s and same with Eclipsa’s. Only one kid at a time per pregnancy, unless odds, chance or race have a play in it like you Eclipsa.”

“So...about that ‘thing’ that Max is looking for...what about that?” Ben asked.

“Psst. You guys can handle it, I’m done.” Cript laughed.

“Really? Your not going to continue to help solve people’s problems?” Ben asked curiously.

“Well that's why you all exist. I haven’t done this for too long of a time all things considered, but a person knows when it’s time to pass the torch. Mine should have been long ago.”

“Makes sense.” Ben shrugged. “And what’ll you be doing after all this?”

“The only ability I’ll have it teleportation. Warping to random places to see and explore, and to the wives. Who are hidden.”

“Hidden?” Ben asked. “Is there something wrong for them all to be hidden?”

“Well for one Max has tried to cross that line before, besides that while I’m immortal with the normalcy of any other average Joe. Well, guess I’m gonna go. Later then.” Cript said.

“So…. Dad happened…. What now?” Eclipsa said, snapping her fingers as her cup disappeared. “We could hide in my realm.”

“And how long will it take for the wives to appear in your realm?” Ben asked curiously. “Cause there are a lot of them...cause right now I now have at least twenty six hundred people I am married to.”

“I'd guess… a hour their time… which is about three million years over there.” Eclipsa guessed.

“Time is bullshit.” Ben frowned. “Like...when you really look at it...time isn’t really that special anymore.”

“Every second is special. Every moment I spend with my family is a treasure. Yeah you can have all the time in the world…. Means nothing if you don't use it.” Eclipsa said….oddly sagely.

“Good for me...sure I spent so much time with all my wives because of the kids but…” Ben sighed out, not fully sure if any of his clones trained them. “I still suck at this…”

“So, anyone else wanna explore this city?” Zeke asked.

“Sure, why not.” Ben shrugged. “My clones will try to keep the hoard at bay but...not sure for how long...”

“I’ll help.” Eclipsa says, summoning a dagger, cutting her palm and waving her hand, each drop becoming a clone. “Go help the other Ben's.” She told them and with a nod, they left.

“Yeah… try not to have your clones screw one another just yet.” Cript said.

“I thought you left?” Eclipsa said to her and Ben's father.

“I think he wanted to make sure me and you didn’t have bedroom thoughts just yet.” Ben shrugged, not knowing why he’s here but having a good feeling it involved that.

“So, where are we anyway?” Zeke asked, Cript leaving now as he looked around. “Kinda weird there’s so many security cameras around here huh?”

“Seems familiar but I can't place my finger on it….” Eclipsa says, taking a seat on a bench.

As the trio sat about, mostly just looking around, then, several police cars arrived, them all surrounding the three, each with… a rather strange gun in hand. “You two, stay put. Sir in the white cloak, step aside carefully.” A man in more FBI get up rather than cop outfit.

“Alright. That's right, I remember this anime now!” Eclipsa says suddenly, standing up and calmly walking towards the line as if they were no threat whatsoever. “Psycho Pass. Awesome show with awesomer guns!”

“Never heard of it, and I don’t entirely like how they are just openly trying, and failing, to be threatening.” Ben said while getting up as well. “Like seriously, if they wanted to be intimidating they could at least give it more effort.”

“Walk over to safety sir, both persons next to you have a crime coefficient of over five hundred.” The officer said, everyone’s guns shifting into something rather intimidating as they gained a large glowing aura circling them.

Eclipsa stopped, her hair covering her face before she started to chuckle. “Trust me officer. If I wanted to cause anything, this entire city would be lucky to be ash.” Eclipsa said, looking up and letting off her crushing killing intent.

“You… don’t know how to not escalate a situation do you?” Zeke said, whacking Eclipsa on the back of her head. “Seriously, just stop talking…”

“Killjoy.”” Eclipsa giggled, all intent vanishing. “Can't I have my fun?”

“Okay, let me ask, besides this one giving a kind of fine response to a threat,” Ben said while motioning to Eclipsa. “what have they done?” Ben asked. “Cause as far as I’ve seen, these two have done literally nothing to bother you or literally anyone else.” Ben said to the officers, not really caring about what they said. “Also your guns...while they look nice, still not intimidating.”

The officers all looked at one another. “Are you three foreigners?” Another one asked, this one female, rather young.

“And if we are?” Ben asked curiously. “Cause right now you are actively trying to threaten people who have done nothing to you, or anyone here.”

“How did those two even get into the Country then? With Crime Coefficients like that they’d have been either turned around or killed.”

“And...what the fuck is this ‘Crime Coefficient’?” Ben asked. “Cause it better be something good and not something retarded that ‘Due Process’ basically ignores outright.” Ben rolled his eyes.

“Crime Coefficient is a person's likelihood of committing a crime and their length of crime, ranging from something as low as robbery to as high as terrorism. This is all based on what the Sibyl System determines after reading a person's Psychopass, or their mentality, and judges them then and their.”

“Yeah I’m just gonna have to cut you off there.” Ben cut in. “So your saying, a machine is telling you what a person’s thinking? And it’s your job to arrest or kill people based on their own thoughts?” Ben asked bluntly. “Do you know how wrong that is? Like, say one of you actively thought about having something, wouldn’t your ‘special system’ immediately make you a criminal? Wouldn’t you be a victim of your own system when you aren’t doing anything wrong?” Ben asked honestly.

“Besides, if our scores are really so high… why haven't we done anything?” Eclipsa added.

“Let me ask, what’s my number?” Ben asked simply. “These two have over five hundred as you said, what’s my number? Cause I can tell you right now it should be as high if not higher than there’s.” Ben explained given he’s a full Psychopath.

“Your Crime Coefficient is thirty six sir.” The female officer said. “Anyone over a hundred is deemed savable and is instead given a paralyzing shot, over two hundred and forty and up, receive a killing shot.”

“So...you are judge, jury and executioner to literally anyone with a brain.” Ben frowned.

“The Sibyl System is Judge and Jury, the Dominators are the Executioners. We just pull the triggers.”

“You must know this system is bullshit, flawed to hell, and just straight up wrong based on the meer fact people have brains and free will.” The disguised dire wolf said bluntly. “Seriously, all of you must know your ‘Sibyl System’ is killing people because they actually think.” Ben said, rather furious at how bullshit their Justice System is.

Eclipsa put her hand on Ben's shoulder. “Don't bother. Idiots never listen.” She said caringly. “Besides, what are the worst their toys will do to us. Unless they have something that vaporizes every cell at once, I'll be fine.”

“Assuming it can get passed your scales.” Zeke muttered, taking a step forwards. “Look, how about we go and you all just forget this happened?”

“Sorry, but since your foreigners, two of which with Crime Coefficients over five hundred, we either, depending on your actions, have to take you in, or fire, and let the dominators do their job.” The male one spoke.

“Then shoot me. I’m curious to see what happened.” Zeke said.

“Oooh, me next!” Eclipsa said with a fun loving giggle. “Maybe after I will take you all on without a single drop of blood being spilled today.”

Ben stepped up to the three officers. “Listen...just leave.” Ben said to the three of them. “You don’t understand who we are, you don’t understand what we can do. So how about you leave...before you all make one of the biggest mistakes of your lives.” Ben said, really wishing he could just walk up and snap their fancy laser pointers in half to prove his point but they would probably freak out.

“Come on guys, let get out of here. We still have a mob of kids and other people to avoid.” Eclipsa said with a stretch. “Zeke, you ready to go? You've been rather quiet.”

“Sure. Just observing.” He said, the trio vanishing, the police officers rather shaken by their sudden disappearance before their eyes.

“Oh cool, Radiant Garden.” Zeke said, the trio within the world’s town center.

“Nice, haven't explored much, so never got around to visiting.” Eclipsa said, maintaining human form for the world.

“Now depends on which of our Radiant Garden’s are we in…” Ben said honestly while looking around.

“Doesn’t look like mine, mine was already changed to Hollow Bastion when I arrived in Equestria.” Zeke said.

“Mine should have stayed as Radiant Garden because I got Terra back before he could kill the others.” Ben brought up.

“It might be mine, or even my realm’s.” Eclipsa said.

As the trio walked they sat down at a bench, resting for a bit before needing to run again. “So… how are we gonna work this… family thing?” Zeke asked.

“Well how do you two feel about suddenly having like...over a billion kids and twenty five hundred other wives?” Ben asked. “Cause let me just get that out of the way.

“Yeash, just had to beat me huh?” Zeke laughed. “So… how are we going to deal with it? I mean, I can’t go too far from Eclipsa and frankly her idea of house living sounds pretty good, and you have a realm/kingdom to run and yeah no… not something I’d rather get involved with.”

“Even though by law you two are apart of my Kingdom as well.” Ben said honestly. “But yeah that’s gonna be an interesting thing...”

“We could always pull a page from Cript….” Eclipsa drawed out. “I was going to have to do something similar to my house already, even with needing to remodel. Each room will be basically a pocket dimension, and one specific door in the living room could lead straight to Ben's castle.”

“Oh, so basically what one of my old houses did.” Ben said honestly. “That sounds like a good idea.”

“We get our…. Relatively simple living, yet we can still be a part of the family at large.” Eclipsa said with a smile.

“Yep.” Ben nodded. “Can’t wait for that to still be a nightmare and a half.”

“Okay… now onto the more… bizarre and awkward topic… all our other respective mates are now also...married as well…. How exactly do we handle that if one of them wants to… know us personally?” Zeke asked.

“Well, Ben and I have Clones, so Zeke… hope you are willing to have sex with almost a half of a hundred thousand women and men?”

“He’ll probably be fine with it, or be weirded out.” Ben shrugged. “But yeah...gonna be a little weird between the two of us and...all the clones.” Ben said sheepishly. “Actually...should we bring up boundaries with certain things?” Ben asked sheepishly.

“Well, yeah. I don't think you two are keen on being swallowed… though it is comforting funnily enough.” Eclipsa said with a shrug.

“No. Was forced that in one case...never again.” Ben said bluntly. “Also, no gross things. You know what I'm talking about in that vague broad term.”

“Okay...So Eclipsa’s kink aside, how about life? So far things are calm, so I imagine we’d all want to rest for a while then move onto other things, whatever they will be.” Zeke said.

“Well, with the three of us now together… wanna practice Trinity whenever we are not trying to get used to being married. Also you two owe me a honeymoon.” Eclipsa said with her signature smirk.

“...First, yes, Trinity attack with use three, will be way overpowered, second… how is that even gonna work?”

“No clue. Wanna hit a destiny island that has never had life touch it yet?” Eclipsa suggested.

“That sounds kinda neat.”

“Sure why not.” Ben said. “But seriously we’re gonna have to talk about the whole bedroom thing and what boundaries there will be.”

“Giving we both have Runes and She has a horny male Fluttershy I imagine even if those are set up they’d be torn down just as fast…” Zeke shivered. “And that’s concerning…”

“My Rune has been surprisingly kind enough on limits.” Ben said. “As well as literally all my wives. They all respect my boundaries and what I can do, won’t do, and will never do.”

“...” Zeke waved a hand over to Eclipsa. “And here sits their relief for those no-no fetishes you won’t do… no offence Eclipsa.”

“Sadly.” Ben sighed out. “But hey, at least I won’t be apart of it.”

“You know, I should be insulted…. But I'll take the bullet…. But the three of us need to have fun sometime. I'm milking this new m rating.”

“We’re M rated now?” Ben asked. “Oh no…”

“I’m not a fourth wall breaker and already I’m worried…” Zeke sighed. “Though I do hear Alucard laughing…”

“That's right, no more skipping Gore and sex bitches!” Eclipsa laughs… scarily similar to Alucard is being heard by zeke.

Ben sighed out. “I was only taking your word for it Eclipsa...oh dear.”

“So… aside form that...revelation, what about kids? Do we all just… share parenting between them all or…?”

“I think that needs to be talked to with all our spouses.” Eclipsa said, cutting off her laughter suddenly.

“I’m sure they’ll have figured it out by now all things considered.” Ben said honestly. “They’re probably trying to find us to talk...while the Rune’s are...well…”

“Question, Ben, does your Rune also keep a sex dungeon in your house?” Zeke asked.

“I'd be surprised if that answer is a no.” Eclipsa admitted.

“Surprisingly she doesn’t have one.” Ben said honestly. “If she did, Consequence would have told me about it cause it would have been an addition to the castle...as well as a possible danger to my health.”

“True, but married to you makes her one of, well, many queens. Wouldn’t he have to keep that from you if she told him to? As defying his ruler or his mates would break his, i dunno, vows or loyalty to you?” Zeke questioned.

“He honestly would have told me.” Ben said. “Also I really doubt Rune would have forced Consequence to keep it a secret since I should know everything about my own home.”

Zeke and Eclipsa shared a look. “You sure?” Zeke asked.

Ben rubbed his temple. “She better not have…” He grumbled. “So...besides that...what else?”

“Well…. Anything you two specifically are into?” Eclipsa asked.

“...” Now Zeke and Ben shared a look, debating on actually telling her.

“Come on, I may be kinky but I'm not Rune.”

“Um…” Ben sighed out. “It’s at least harmless…” Ben blushed brightly as he was slowly regretting what he was about. “Lactation for one…” He muttered, not sure if he should even bring up another thing. “BBW...fuck why am I even saying this…” Ben groaned while he pulled his hood up and hide his bright red face. “Zeke...your turn…”

“Well…” Zeke said, blushing a bit. “Pregnancy… and… well, I’ve always found women taller than me… attractive…” Zeke said, blushing. “If you include the things I began liking from what Rune has had me done… Hehe… it’s uh… longer than I’d prefer to admit.”

“Well… at least I can fulfill one each. I can try others, but I don't think I even CAN get a BBW body Ben.” Eclipsa said casually.

“I’m pretty sure a lot of my wives can solve things here…” Ben said nervously. “But thicc is close enough...also, quick thing, are we going to keep our wives seperate or…?” Ben trailed off, not fully wanting to say it.

“Well...given we are married, we all seem to get along and such… I guess a slow integration into...that would be best, and overtime help things get less.. Awkward then they are now. So, maybe dates with each others spouses to start and, I guess things go from there.” Zeke said.

“Zeke, I'm gonna need to teach you cloning before we do that.” Eclipsa said bluntly. “Ben has too many for that.”

“I have twenty five hundred wives of literally every race on my Equestria, as well as Dire Wolves, a few other races, most notably the most recent addition is the Behemoth lady I’m mated to.” Ben explained.

“And now a naga added to that list.” Eclipsa giggled.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if I managed to get one of every race to this growing harem cause...why not.” Ben sighed out.

“Hey, just means you get to experience more than most… and you love all of them, right?” Eclipsa said, her hand resting on Ben's back.

“I love all of them...I’d die to see them all happy.” Ben said honestly.

“Same.” Zeke said. “Seems we all have that in common.”

“Yeah, except you two probably did things better than me cause I’m just shit at that whole thing…” Ben sighed out.

“If you really think that, then maybe you’d be alright taking lessons from us?” Zeke offered. “Even if not, we each parent in different ways, so learning off one another would be best regardless.”

“Yeah. The three of us are a team now. We will help whenever you need it Ben.” Eclipsa said encouragingly

“Hopefully.” Ben sighed out. “Well...glad things are getting settled here.”

“Yeah. So, how much longer should we keep running til we face the music?” Zeke asked.

“Not long I wager with how big our family is.” Eclipsa shrugged.

“Wonders…” Ben sighed out. “So...Zeke, your literally the only one who needs to run at this point, but your stuck with Eclipsa so you're basically stuck.” Ben said. “So who wants to get something to eat while we wait?”

“I could eat…I think. Ever since becoming Kingdom Hearts/Admin I haven’t really felt hungry...or thirsty… or even the need to breath. I actually went a full two days not breathing… or sleeping… I guess that’s all just optional.”

“Maybe, who knows.” Ben shrugged.

“Still fun though.” Eclipsa said with a smirk.

“True. So, is there a place to eat around here?” Zeke asked, taking a look around.

“It would be weird if a big city like this didn’t.” Ben said honestly.

“There must be a restaurant around here someplace?” Zeke pondered, the three getting up and walking around for a place to have a meal.

“Well all else fails I make us a good meal. I've learned how to cook. Honestly… it's like I should hav seee been a woman all my life.” Eclipsa chuckled, walking between the two men.

“Heh, least you’re happy in your skin.” Zeke said. “I still hate my own eyes. Reminds me too much of all I was raised to be, and never wanted.”

“So you hate my eyes too?” Eclipsa asked, looking Zeke in the eyes as they walked.

“When I look at you Eclipsa, I don’t see a Ventral, I see someone who’s family without blood being a factor. If I’m blunt though, when I see your eyes… I do see mine looking back.”

“Tell me Zeke, wanna know how I got used to my eyes? Cause for the longest time they caused me nothing but pain.” Eclipsa said, not hint of anger in her voice, or regret. Just caring.

Ben was just...you know, continuing to search while hearing all this. “I’m so glad I can contribute…” Ben muttered.

“Actually Ben, you can. How did you get used to being a wolf?” Eclipsa said with a smile.

“Honestly, originally it wasn’t that big, even though I looked like the hybrid form of most Dire Wolves...the tail was a thing I had to stop being embarrassed about.” Ben said honestly. “But after that...well when I actually learned I can turn into a Feral Form...mostly spent time with Mom back on her original home world. It was fun and simple, and the Prey was just delicious.”

“Sounds like fun! As for me… I've always been adaptable, but it took my family to look into my eyes and tell me that they were beautiful, that they do not define who I am for me to accept them. So,” Eclipsa said, turning Zeke to face her. “You and I are not our eyes. We are so much more.”

“Maybe…” Zeke said.

“Not maybe. You are, or I would never have accepted you as my keyblade and now mate.” Eclipsa said seriously. “Ben, help out here?”

“You shouldn’t have asked that…” Ben sighed out while walking up. “Look at Eclipsa.” Ben said while motioning to the Naga lady. “Look at how different she is between now and when we first met. Besides the obvious changes of ‘she’s a naga’ and ‘she’s a she’, she has changed so much, broken out of that whole Ventral bullshit and gotten past any hang ups of the past.” Ben said while also just grabbing one of Eclipsa’s tits. “Also, her tits are really soft and nice.” Ben said bluntly.

“Coming from a guy who has over forty thousand at least, I take that as a compliment.” Eclipsa giggled while holding back a blush.

“Point is Zeke, you just need to take a deep breath, put on your Big Keyblade Pants, and just move on.” Ben said bluntly. “Literally everyone else has done that, so far you are the only one hasn’t done that. So are going to let a simple goddamn eye color bring you down.” Ben said before blinking, both of his eyes turning into a Psychopath and Humanity color. “Or are you going to finally take that step you’ve been too much of a bitch to take?” Ben asked bluntly. “I’m sorry for sounding like a dick, but you kind of need someone to be blunt here.”

“Now excuse me for sounding like you but aren't you being just a bit of a fucking hypocrit there? You doubt you deserve everything you have, despite all you have done still have no self confidence and you still have doubt your family actually loves you for you. What right here do you have to judge my flaws right now?”

Ben took a deep breath, trying to get his words together. “I started with everything being taken away from me...you started with everything. I started without any Light in my heart, you were Perfectly Balanced, I started with my parents dying, father being burned alive after he was drugged, my mother having her brains blown out, you had your entire family as far as I know even if they were kind of shitty.” Ben explained. “Notice how you had everything, and I had nothing? I maybe a Hypocrite, but my Hypocrisy is rooted in my own feelings that I’m just going to fuck everything up and lose everything that I fucking care about. Because I only fucked up more and more in my life, leading me to believe my parents assassination was my own damn fault.” Ben took a deep breath, clenching his fists tight. “My family loves me...my family loves me so much...they mean everything to me...I just keep myself so low because at least then...when everything does fall apart around me...I won’t be fucking surprised it will.” Ben said sadly.

“At least you got to build what you have. My whole life, yes everything was given to me like I was Jesus himself comeback to judge humanity! I may have had a family but do you know what it's like to be two years old and see your own mother cooking you dinner in a house out in the middle of nowhere after she decapitated it's owners as easy as breathing!? I knew from a young age nothing would have been better than that life but these damned eyes kept me stuck in it.”

“Both of you please...this is not what I wanted, you two to measure who had a worse life… I just wanted you two to have a genuine, real smile for the first time that I have see…. Well, save for Zeke, but that was when he realized he was not top dog…. No offence Ben.” Eclipsa says resignation in her voice.

“I did warn you to be honest.” Ben said honestly. “Cause I’m just bad at talking. But seriously Zeke...your Kingdom Hearts…” Ben took a deep breath and face palmed. “You do know that you could just literally change your eye color right? You literally have all the power in the world…” Ben couldn’t help but shake his head and smile at how stupid this was. “Wow, got into a random fucking argument, only for me to realize ‘Oh hey, Zeke can just literally change his eye color and problem solved’.” Ben chuckled honestly.

“That’s why I don’t. You two didn’t even realize earlier on that other world… Eclipsa, you spoke like a mercalise all mighty being, and Ben, while you were you, you didn’t even think that ‘this is how this world is, play along’. You both like me are all powerful… I stayed quiet. I am not letting that come to my head, use my power to intimidate those I KNOW are weaker... “ Zeke said.

“Here’s a small problem with that.” Ben said honestly. “First up, I’m an idiot so ‘playing along’ with what is factually bullshit is just dumb. And two they were actively threatening you two so there’s that.”

“And I was just having fun because I knew they were no threat. Hell I would have laughed if they had tried to shoot me.”

“And yet you both treated them all as lesser. Eclipsa, you played into their beliefs on how they judge people perfectly for what they labeled us as. Ben, you were just ignorant. Nothing on every world has to make sense to you, if you accept that this is how this world is, then you’d be surprised how much happier you'll be. What’s that phrase? ‘Happy are the ignorant and stupid’?”

“Doesn’t really help when I’m both of those.” Ben said honestly. “But again...never heard of that world, thought their rules were bullshit, called them out on it.”

“If you were, you would not have said anything in the first place.”

“No I would have.” Ben said honestly. “I was ignorant, that’s why I questioned why they thought something like that was okay at all. I was literally trying to understand what the hell was going on...and getting an answer that basically made no sense with some actual thought put into it.” Ben explained.

“Both of you please let's… just get something to eat.” Eclipsa sighed, walking over to a random restaurant, but maintaining less than 15 feet from Zeke.

The group sat in a booth, Eclipsa sitting on the other side alone while Zeke and Ben were forced to share a side. They waited for menus, the silence was clear, someone needed to speak, to break the silence and fix the issues, but who was the question.

“Fine I’ll start.” Ben said bluntly. “So, because I’m retarded, why do you think power will ‘oh so suddenly be bad’?” Ben asked Zeke. “Cause I have a feeling this is more of a ‘you’ problem here Zeke.” Ben said honestly. “Like...to some power corrupts, but why do you think we’ll be like that?”

“That is not why Ben… I know now from fighting him. Zeke holds back because in his eyes there is no point to conflict without challenge. What Zeke needs to understand is that it doesn't mean he still can't take pleasures in the interactions. And you both need to understand that like it or not you two are married. Understand one another, if not for your own sake then for mine and the others.” Eclipsa said harshly.

That made the two blush, shifting a bit in their seats. “It’s not so much that there is no point. It’s more what I’ve seen it do. My family are criminals, feared by world governments and other criminals all together. I’ve see what that power, that ‘all powerful’ mentality does to them. One moment my mom and dad and watching cartoons with me, the next they’re melting bodies in bath tubs because ‘the owners came home’... Everyone in the family had two personas. The ones I knew and loved, the kind, loving ones to one another… and the one they showed off to the public, to the authorities who tried to kill or capture them. It’s this second mentality of playing with those less strong than the I don’t want to have. It’s why I watch rather than speak up.”

“Zeke… That is fine, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't use your power when it suits you. Example your eyes. Ben is right, at any point you can change them or hell, get some contacts like I did most my life.” Eclipsa said, not even looking away from her menu.

“I know I can but… if I do, then am I even me?” Zeke asked, looking at the table. “My whole life my identity has been tied to the eyes I’ve hated since I knew what they meant. If I cover them up, what’s different than wearing a mask? Change them… am I still me? These ideals and thoughts have been hammered into me, so sorry if it sounds idiotic, but it’s hard to just forget a lifetime of expectations.”

“Then don't forget, but don't let it decide who you are. I have grown to like my eyes because to me they mean that no matter my heritage, I will be Defiant and be me, not who they make me be. You only see yourself as a Ventral, even after everything. It's about time you see yourself as Zeke.” Eclipsa said, lowering her menu finally for the two to see just how tired she looked at the argument earlier.

“How do I even do that?”

“By first doing what you want to do, not what is expected of you. Be it kissing me, fighting me again, or just taking a walk on the beach. What does Zeke want, not Zeke Ventral.”

“...” Zeke looked thoughtful, before grabbing Ben by the crotch and kissing him. Eclipsa stiffened, Ben was clearly failing to process what was transpiring, and everyone else in the restaurant was either commenting, blushing, or looking away.

Ben blushed brightly at this before gently breaking the kiss. “How about...we eat first…” Ben said slowly. “I...normally take people out on a date first before...that.”

“That was…. Hot but unexpected.” Eclipsa said, breaking out of her shock.

“Also...given we can all just...turn into whatever we want...not bi right now so uh...you might need to turn into a chick Zeke…” Ben muttered sheepishly.

“Why do I have to be the chick?” Zeke asked.

“Cause I’m most likely going to be the ‘Guy’ of this group.” Ben said. “Eclipsa’s the chick...and you...well…” Ben trailed off nervously.

“Futa is always hot, and best of both worlds. I just found it uncomfortable for me personally when I tried it once.” Eclipsa admitted.

“... Why is it I'm considering that?” Zeke questioned.

“Because further would make you Zeke, not just Zeke Ventral? Or maybe because you liked female sex, but want to maintain masculinity. Or maybe Bio is a dick. All of these are possible.” Eclipsa shrugged.

“Let’s try to cut back on the Fourth Wall Breaks alright?” Ben said, not wanting there to be too much of that thing.

“Hmm… well I guess I've already been a women, knocked up and gave birth so why not try being both.” Zeke said. “Though I did not like that as a chick my tits were sensitive to literally a light breeze. How do you deal with that Eclipsa?”

“Well I’ve been a woman for...a little bit, and honestly I think it just depends on the person?” Ben brought up, not fully knowing but wanting to give at least some input.

“The right bras, the right clothes, time and breastfeeding does wonders to make you live with them. Besides, I kinda like it, being female. Even with the downsides… I get to feel special more often than I did as a male. Because as you both know, no matter how much I curse, fight, and act tough, I'm just a big softy.” She chuckled, crossing her arms under her sizable, but not the biggest any of them have seen, bust.

“True.” Ben said honestly. “Your fur is also soft from what little contact I’ve had with it.” The dire wolf complimented.

“This coming from fuzzy butt himself here?” Zeke sassed.

“Got a problem with my fluff?” Ben asked.

“No but for a male dire world your fluff is awfully silky for a fighting dog.” Zeke said, booping Ben's nose.

Eclipsa giggled happily at the interaction. “So, made your decision Zeke?”

“He better have.” Ben said. “Also...did we even order food or have people just been staring at us thinking we’re crazy?” Ben asked, so caught up with everything that he forgot if they even ordered food.

“We never ordered yet. Also I'll try a Futa form, but remember Ben, I'll still have a penis so don't be surprised if it goes up your ass.” Zeke taunted.

“So lucky I don't have one anymore…” Eclipsa mumbled before deciding on what to eat.

“Not right now cause...not into that at the moment.” Ben said while also deciding on what to eat.

“Awh, Well, live and learn to love it… that's literally Runes motto for fetishes.” Zeke said, his body altering to a more feminine figure. They were now a bit shorter, long blonde hair reaching their lower back grew from their head, their chest perked out with a pair of large C cups, and even their hips now stretched their pants to their limits. “What looks good?” She asked, picking up their menu, voice so feminine that Eclipsa felt a tad jealous.

“Damn, and people thought I have a voice of a goddess. Seriously Zeke, female Morgan Freeman Level stuff there.” Eclipsa admitted.

“Eh, feels a little forced.” Ben shrugged.

“I didn't choose it like that. I just switched my vocal cords when shifting. Guess this is how I would have sounded if I was a girl.” They said sheepishly. “So, should I keep Zeke as my name or change it to something similar like how you did Eclipsa?”

“Up to you, I mean, Josh kept their name. You have both parts. I may be your Wielder, but you are your own person. I don't own you, not really anyway.” The Naga said, ordering five steaks, three helpings of mashed potatoes, five cobs of corn, and a soup as the appetizer. “That should be a good snack.” She said, talking about the whole meal.

“Jeez, you must be hungry.” Ben said.

“Nope. Naga just eat a shit load. Seriously, have me make dinner sometime. You will see a huge meal then.” She said with a fanged smile.

“Oh I have the best meat back home. It’s from my races homeworld, it’s so good.” Ben said while ordering three steaks, two mashed potatoes, and an entire Ham. “But yeah, Dire Wolves also eat a lot...funny how Zeke is the only one here not of a different race technically...and probably doesn’t eat.”

“Keyblade can count as a race.” Zeke said, ordering a fried fish and side salad. “It's just with a wielder we are more subservient to them and to a degree all other races when we select a welder. It's why they didn't do anything to prevent the first Keyblade war. Goes against their nature and culture.”

“Is that why you have been asking my opinion a lot, and why it took forever for Oblivion and Oathkeeper to warm up to the idea of being more than weapons, but family to me?” Eclipsa asked.

“My Keyblades are just sassy...but when both of your main Keyblades are literally you...I have some differing experiences.” Ben shrugged.

“Your Keyblade are firmly linked to you. They were made from parts of you, so they would likely have traits from you, but in the end they still can not disobey you. And yes Eclipsa, that is why that took a while.” Zeke explained, the trio receiving their Drinks.

“Reunion is made from a piece of my heart way back when, and No Heart was made by my own blood, I have heard them both, they both sound like me...there are still several questions I doubt I’ll get answered.” Ben said honestly. “And thank you.” He said to the waitress for bringing them their drinks.

Eclipsa took a drink of her mango juice. “That's interesting. Oh, and Zeke.” Eclipsa says before snapping, said X-blade in question feeling a bra of appropriate size appear on her. It felt soft, not restricting while still holding her breasts up, and not making them too sensitive. “You're welcome. Resized one of my own.”

“Huh.” Zeke said, feeling along the frame and straps of the new bra. “Feels kinda odd having one on, but it's not uncomfortable.” They said, giving their newfound cleavage a light squeeze, blushing from the sensitivity then stopping. “Feels weird and good all at once.”

“When you actually have proper support.” Ben said honestly. “Changes a lot.”

“You know that how exactly?”

“Rarity and Coco make really good clothes.” Ben said honestly. “And you can take a guess with which article of clothing I’m talking about.”

“Not surprised…Also who is Coco?” Zeke asked, their food arriving as they began eating.

“Coco Pommel.” Ben said. “You probably wouldn’t know considering your world but...she’s an aspiring Seamstress that’s probably just as good as Rarity. She’s also adorable.” Ben said.

“Huh.” Zeke thought. “So, after this what do we do?” Zeke asked, taking a fork to their fried fish. “Head home and face the mob of our families or just try and good off a bit longer?”

“We’ll go home, but they’ll find us in the bedroom after I’ve done...plenty of things.” Ben chuckled a little.

“And what makes you think your getting laid tonight by Eclipsa or I?” Zeke asked.

“Personal experience.” Ben said honestly. “Lots of personal experience.”

“And you think I am that much of a slut being semi women for less than five minutes?”

Ben looked at Zeke, honestly offended by her words. “Excuse me, when did I ever think or say something like that?” Ben asked honestly. “Like...come on dude, do you really think I’m that low?” Ben asked. “Well...wouldn’t be surprised…” Ben sighed out.

“Well you did just admit you expected us both to be screwing you tonight. Unlike your other wives I am planning on taking time. Besides, I also want to mentally prepare for that… still trying to process the situation honestly.”

“I mean...says the guy that grabbed my junk in open public but apparently that’s just nonsense. But also...we just got married, lot of people do that after the wedding.”

“That is called teasing. And Eclipsa and I were still gonna take time before getting physical anyway. We are friends, but we need to learn to become lovers overtime. Think of it like this.” Zeke said, holding up three fingers. “First is friends. Then friends with benefits, then lovers.”

“I know.” Ben said honestly. “But again...personal experience, and the fact that...well it’s us three, do you really expect it not to happen after dinner?” Ben asked honestly. “When you really think about it.”

“I expect that after this dinner I will be getting used to this form with my own wives. That is my plan.”

“Well whatever you think.” Ben shrugged while continuing to eat his meal.

“How about this. The day you pop yourself your own vagina, then we can discuss sex. Deal?”

“Okay just to be clear...if you don’t actively agree to just getting it over with now with me and Eclipsa, my Rune, your Rune, and whoever is basically Rune for Eclipsa, will try to force it, you know that right?” Ben asked honestly. “It’s one of the main reasons we’re running from them. You know this for a fact Zeke.”

“Yeah, but I at least have some fight in me to resist that. Tell you what. Pop yourself a vagina now, and I'll screw you personally while our Runes watch.”

“No, I’m the guy of the group we all agreed to this.” Ben said.

“No I believe you said it and we did not say yes or no. Plus I may look like a chick but I still have my dick as well as a pussy and womb.”

“I mean...you having both kind of cemented that…” Ben muttered.

“And who said that? I just want to see if what Eclipsa did can work for me.” Zeke said, beginning their salad. “Besides, Eclipsa still has her husband's who are comfortable being males. Why can't this just be a multiple male marriage? Surely you know herd marriages can have more than one male right?”

“I know I know.” Ben said. “Fine, I’ll drop it...sorry for sounding pushy or anything…” He muttered while finishing his steak. “Jeez...grab me by the dick and tells me to piss off...I’m shocked this is the first time I’m being told that.”

“I would be called a tease in that regard by friend.” Zeke chuckled, finishing up their salad. “Besides, you really are the only male in this relationship good lucking being a father to all the extra kids, on top of the ones you already have trouble with.”

Ben looked at Zeke. “Cript helped me with that...pocket dimensions are very helpful things...spent eighteen years raising all those children that I was always scared I would fail them…” Ben sighed out.

“Oh? Nice. So you Dragon Ball Z'd it?”

“Still feel like a shit father though...even if all the memories of my kids happiness still helps me through things…” Ben sighed out. “I’m proud I could raise them...actually being a father is nice…”

“And part of why I am picking this form is cause to majority of my kids, I'm their father. But to my twins I am their mother, this way I can be both at least.”

“True.” Ben said honestly. “But I’ve been nothing but a father...and honestly I want to keep it that way, not because I’m scared of motherhood or anything...okay well I’m scared I’ll be just as shit of a mother as a father...even though I’m doing perfectly fine and the millions of kids that are over eighteen would agree to that.” Ben rolled his eyes.

“As long as you're not ignoring them you'll do well. Besides, I am curious on if you do swap genders would you have two tits like Me and Eclipsa or multiple like actual wolves?”

“That’s another thing I don’t fully want to know about…” Ben muttered with a little blush.

“Heh. Wuss.” Zeke said, downing their soda. “Ah… well, guess we'll be facing the music and some rather awkward conversations with the wives then.”

Ben rolled his eyes. “Yeah yeah whatever.” Ben frowned. “And it’ll only be awkward for you, me and Eclipsa have clones remember? We are literally there with the family trying to slow them down on their hunt.” Ben said honestly.

“Yeah but I didn't jump on the 'take Cript's offer wagon’ like you all did.”

“I mean, there are several reasons for that on both sides here Zeke.” Ben said honestly.

“For me, I was dying, my Twilight, my sister was dead, and Cript's offer was a solution to both problems….wow I've died a lot….” Eclipsa said

“I’ve died once, but I joined Cript cause…” Ben thought for a moment. “Jeez it’s been a long time...I originally joined Cript because I could have gotten stronger to protect more people...but with the stipulation that I would get all the powers after I became King of Nothingness...and this was after...the Manehattan incident…” Ben sighed out sadly. “The biggest failure of my life…” Ben said. “Well...it was also during the time I adopted Jenny...which was also the time I wanted to save people from being a Psychopath but...they just kind of disappeared or being a Psychopath doesn’t mean much anymore…”

“Hm. So in other news then what limits are we at for the time being? I mean I won't have sex just yet but a make out session is alright with me. Ben, Eclipsa?”

“Not going to be a girl for one cause...you two have it covered and I’d rather not to be honest.” Ben said honestly. “But that’s fine...just don’t be surprised if it escalates somehow.”

“Meh, as long as the Runes and Scotch don't get their hands on us we should be fine.” Eclipsa shrugged.

“I mean...you know they will.” Ben rolled his eyes.

“Hmm” Zeke sighed. “So… when should we head out and face the music?”

“That’s up to you honestly.” Ben said while starting to eat his the entire Ham they gave him. “Clones can come in handy a lot.”

“Yikes… You and Eclipsa eat a lot huh?”

“I’m a Dire Wolf, and she’s a Naga, of course we eat a lot.” Ben said honestly. “It’s just a little thing.”

“No, just saying. So guess once we're done here we should go “

“Pretty much.” Ben said honestly. “And then...a lot of things will happen...like a lot.”

“Guess so. Well I can't stray too far from Eclipsa. So what will you do then?”

Ben thought for a moment. “Um...how far can you stray from Eclipsa?” Ben asked curiously. “Never got a defined space from that.”

“Fifteen feet. Go passed that I warped back somehow exactly fifteen feet.”

“Yup.” Eclipsa said.

“That’s not good.” Ben said honestly. “So you literally can’t do anything unless Eclipsa’s right next to you...well that’s a thing.”

“Pretty much. Stuck with her like that so it's the main reason we decided to marry.” Zeke said.

“Makes sense.” Ben said simply. “You know, one person I’m surprised isn’t here is Jenny given she would just be stalking us and laughing her ass off.”

“Knowing her it's cause I'm here. I never took kindly to Jenny's sense of humor and made it known to her.”

“But I’m here so that kind of negates the point.” Ben said honestly. “But what is her sense of humor besides...the obvious?”

“Hmm… well she once tried to slip laxatives into the punch at a party once. I caught her then punished her by making her take them. She was on the toilet for a week.”

“Yeah that’s one way to make sure she doesn’t screw around.” Ben said honestly. “Hmm...but there would be others that should have been here long before the others…” Ben muttered, thinking that Joy would have been here at least but he’s probably being bothered by something else.

“Eh. So, everyone almost ready?”

“One sec.” Eclipsa said, picking up her still full last plate of food, and slid it all into her mouth. Her cheeks puffed out like a chipmunk, then, swallowed, the large lump sliding down her short neck and vanishing down her torso. “Ready.”

“... Why was that hot?” Zeke asked.

“She’s got no gag reflex. That’s a common snake thing.” Ben said honestly.

“I am hoping that's what I think was hot.” Zeke said as Eclipsa chuckled.

The trio headed out through a DTL, and the trip was in Eclipsa's home. Her husband's, Zeke's wives and Ben's Luna and Twilight waiting for them. It was an odd scene, but they could tell who was who. Ben noticed Zeke's Celestia was a bit tubby, but her curves put his Celestia's in a B cup bra by comparison. Likely from the weight gain she had.

“Hi.” Ben said simply. “How are you all doing?”

“Calmed down from the sunrise at the wedding.” Ben's Luna said. “So… now they are in the marriage?”

“Yes.” Ben nodded. “On pure accident.” The Dire Wolf said honestly. “So uh...where are the Runes?”

“Screwing.” Zeke's Celestia said.

“Of course…” Zeke sighed.

“Cause what else would they be doing?” Ben groaned. “So...I presume your all okay with this sudden turn of events?”

“We all had a good talk about it, and figure we can make it work… slowly.” Ben's Celestia said.

“How ‘slowly’?” Ben asked. “Cause…’slow’ is relative to my massive herd.”

“As slow as they want to go.” Ben's Twilight said.

“Alright.” Ben nodded. “I understand.”

“So… what now?” Zeke asked. “I guess I have to help my family move into Eclipsa's place but what about you Ben?” Zeke asked.

“That’s going to be...a little annoying cause my home is literally in the Realm of Nothingness.” Ben said honestly. “Sure, Clones exist but still.”

“I am moving into Eclipsa's place, not yours…”

“I know, I’m mentioning a small problem of living arrangements on my side.” Ben said honestly. “Again, I can just have a clone live with you two and call it a day...like I do with literally everyone…” Ben sighed out. “Oi vey…” He muttered.

“hmmm… Idea!” Eclipsa said, slithering over to a large, empty space of wall and snapping her fingers, a door appearing there. “Ben, can you link this door with your home, with your DTN or something but permanent? If done right we'd all have quick access to your place and vise versa.”

“Sure why not.” Ben said while walking over to the door and putting a hand on it, taking a deep breath and focusing, the color of the door changing as Nothingness Thorns seemed to add a paint detail to it. “And...done.” The wolf muttered, seeing the fancy looking door finished. “One door connecting my Realm to yours.”

“Cool.” Zeke said, walking over to it and opening the door, showing a castle hallway. “Huh… looks like the Ventral family euro hide away.”

“Really?” Ben asked curiously.

“Yeah. They remade an old castle. Supposed to be haunted but that's just our security measures.” Zeke said, closing the door.

“Okay then.” Ben said honestly. “Good to know.”

“So… see you around then?”

“We better. We have to learn Trinity and frankly, wolfy here is kinda hot.” Eclipsa said casually.

“I’m still half expecting bed things to happen before I leave cause...that normally happens.” Ben said honestly. “And thank you Eclipsa, also your really hot.” Ben said to Eclipsa honestly.

“Alright, see you regularly then Ben.” Zeke said.

Eclipsa slithered over and pulled Ben in for a kiss passionate in every way possible. “Don't go dying without us, got it?”

Ben’s tail wagged as he blushed brightly. “Uh...y-yeah…” He muttered, always one for passionate kisses with his wives.

“Huh. Always wondered if your tail wagged when you got a boner?” Zeke questioned aloud.

“Shush.” Ben said quickly. “You don’t need to know that.”

“You just confirmed it for me.”

“Oh I am sooo abusing that knowledge.” Eclipsa laughed before suddenly grabbing Zeke for a kiss.

Zeke returned it, giving a show for Ben, teasing him and seeing his tail now wagged like a ceiling fan. Zeke broke the kiss, the booped Ben's nose. “Be a good boy now.”

Ben growled. “Just be glad I’m a nice guy…” Ben muttered, even though the two could tell Ben wanted to just grab the two and carry them to bed.

“Awh, is the puppers mad? Let me fix that.” Zeke said, scratching behind Ben's ear the wolf suddenly hung his tongue out in bliss as a leg kicked instinctively. “Never fails.”

“Bad idea.” Luna said before Ben tackled Zeke to the ground and kissed her deeply and passionately.

Zeke broke the kiss. “Bad puppy.” She said, while her lips moved to whistle no noise came out… but Ben did roll over grabbing his ears. “I know how to train dogs. And I can whistle at the pitch of a dog whistle.”

“Oh come on Zeke, that was hot.” Eclipsa grumbled, getting nods from a few others in the room.

“You started this Zeke…” Ben growled.

“I’m a tease. I have fun playing with fire.” Zeke said, standing up.

“There’s a difference between ‘tease’, and being an asshole about it.” Ben said honestly. “Ow…” Ben grumbled a little.

“Now now, if you two do not stop, I will swallow you both… even if it is a calming experience.” Eclipsa said, getting sighes of remembrance from her husbands.

“Not into it...and still think it’s gross.” Ben said honestly.

“Don't knock it till you try it Naga style.” Eclipsa shrugged.

“I was about to say ‘did that’ but then you added ‘Naga Style’.” Ben said honestly. “Still...sorry, no.”

“Well in any case, later Ben.” Zeke said, helping the wolf up. “Try not to overwork yourself.”

“Don’t worry, I will.” Ben said honestly. “Normally happens no matter what I do…” Ben muttered while leaving.

Ben left, closing the door behind him as Zeke fell back first to the floor. “So… what now?”

“Well… Now we start getting the house remodeled for a way larger family… then… I don't know… cuddle?” Eclipsa shrugged.

“I guess.” Zeke said, jumping back but to their feet and opening a DTD. “Come on then Eclipsa, Girls. Let's pack up the place and move here.”

Eclipsa smiled. This was going to be hard, confusing, maybe even near impossible to handle… but it would be worth it. They all have earned the right to be happy. She slithered in through, side by side with Zeke, ready for the future.

A week had passed. Zeke's family had moved in and everything was arranged and settled. Eclipsa's house was bigger but not by too much thankfully. Ben visited often as promised but could not stay most nights since time in the realm of nothingness flowed slower than in the realm of light, a day for him was two, sometimes three for Zeke and Eclipsa. The town of Ponyville was now having to adjust to the doubles of both kids and adults in their not so quaint little town.

Many got jobs to kill time or as a way to spend the time. Eclipsa was at work, and Zeke sat bouncing a basketball while sitting on a nearby chair. “Bored.” Zeke huffed.

“Well then, come help out 'Assistant’” Eclipsa mocked as she was teaching her oddball class how to feel what weapon, if any, were right for them

“And do what? I didn't exactly go to school growing up.”

“So? Just get you a-... Butt over here. Besides… you might like it.” Eclipsa chuckled.

“Why are you censoring yourself?” Zeke asked, helping a foal with their stance without even looking at them, still getting the post right.

“Because if I don't and Cheerilee walks up I'm toast. The kids don't mind, doesn't mean the school board is the same way.” Eclipsa said

Zeke rolled her eyes. “Guess it's just something I misses out on.” Zeke said, now looking at the foal. “Chin down a bit more, leaving your throat too open. Don't want that sliced open now do ya?” The foal immediately lowered their chin. “There it is.”

“See, your a natural.” Eclipsa smiled, helping a kid correct their posture.

“least I'm Not teaching them how I was taught.”

“Yeah, I would sooo be fired.” Eclipsa chuckled. “Right class, gather round. Today is the day I entrust you with training weapons, and those who do not use weapons will receive weights to tie around their arms, legs, and hooves.”

They gathered weights for those without weapons and lightweight toy swords for those who do. Zeke sat, watching the duals, remembering all their own 'training’ sessions.

“Now class, I don't want to hear that you went to my son Cutting Wind and got those blades sharpened… the school would kill me, even if it is better training. Those of you preferring ranged weapons, learn those knifes first. If anyone comes close to you, you need to be able to hold your own, no matter the range, alright?” Eclipsa letured as the continued, slithering among them and correcting them to their own personal style. Not a single kid was fighting the same way. She sat next to Zeke, and they began to chat for a while. “So, enjoying the simple-ish life?”

“I guess. It's all I ever wished for after all.” Zeke said half heartedly.

“Zeke, what's wrong?” Eclipsa asked with genuine care.

“This just brings back memories. Memories I don't know how to feel about.”

Eclipsa hugged her lover. “You can always talk to me about it partner.”

“... I was younger than them when Mom, dad and Grandpa we're teaching me to fight… they always said I had to learn fast. No time for practice against someone not trying to kill me.”

“Well… at least it ended up being useful right? And you know, they were doing it because they cared about you.” Eclipsa said, wrapping her tail around Zeke, the futa woman in question finding it oddly comforting.

“Dad taught me where to strike on an opponent. Accurately. Mom taught me how to dodge and even redirect their attack back at them depending on how short their weapon is. And Grandpa taught me to shoot and dodge and predict where bullets getting shot at me would be aimed at me.” Zeke lifted their shirt a bit, old and long aged scars in the shape of holes dotted their torst, arms and thighs. “Grandpa believed in learning the hard way. Anything I didn't dodge wouldn't be lethal… by an inch.”

“Well, Grandpa was a dick.”

“He was like us. Red eyes. Back in his hay day, he was known as The Reapers Trigger Finger. No witnesses, no survivors, not even children walked away from his path. He has the highest kill count in the family, at a little over four thousand.”

“So?” Eclipsa said unfazed. “He was a dick. Even Josh agreed. Hell, while the rest of the ventrals we're done with Core's shit back when he was evil, only Grandpa and one of our cousins actually stayed.”

“All that training I grew up doing was to surpass what HE did. And your cousin...my brother.”

“Assholes.” Eclipsa said, turning Zeke's head to look at her. “Past is the past. The future is the future. Only the present matters at all… and our present is a weird one… but one I wouldn't trade for anything.”

“Hm. I just don't know what to do. When I wished for this day to come I had all this wishes but… now I just don't know what to do. Ironic huh. I finally have what I've always wanted… and I don't know what to do with it.”

“Enjoy it. When I'm not working, spend time with our family. Makeup for all the time you had to be gone. This peace… this time we have, it never lasts. Enjoy it with me, please?”

“Okay but how? What should I do with it? With you and the others?”

“How about a vacation. We could visit my realm so I could make whatever the perfect vacation for All of us would be without interfering with this realm.” Eclipsa suggested

“I guess.” Zeke said. Though their tone was not reassuring.

The day went about like that and Eclipsa decided some extra help was required. She took Zeke to Ponyville one and only Psychologist and therapist. Dr. Heartstrings. Yes, oddly Eclipsa's Lyra is a therapist and psychologist, but only because it's a family thing, her Cutie mark talent took her into a different career direction, though she did take appointments for bits if offered.

Eclipsa was now sitting outside of the room Lyra and Zeke were in. Two hours having passed already, no noise whatsoever. She sighed before singing slightly.

”Let me face, let me face, let me face my fears. Oh let me face, let me face, let me face my fears. Won't be long, won't be long, I'm almost there. Watch me cry, all my tears.”

Finally the door opened, Lyra thanked Zeke for the time, then called Eclipsa in for a chat. The room was simple, one chair and a couch. Couch for the patent, chair for Lyra. Eclipsa sat on the couch and Lyra the chair. “Well, that was something.” Lyra started off.

“I bet… Zeke I knew has a lot of problems, hell I have enough insanity to never see the light of day again… I'm just… worried for him.” Eclipsa said.

“Well it's not without reason. After that extensive talk, I can confidently and without a doubt say that Zeke has extensive PTSD.”

“Figured as much.” Eclipsa sighed. “Is there any way I can help him? I know PTSD never goes away, but I want to see him happy.”

“I am going to be blunt. No. Zeke is hard wired and stuck in a mindset that if it is peaceful, they can not enjoy the peace as they are not used to extended periods of peace at all. What I can say though is a method that can at least aid in them feeling less depressed.”

“I suppose it is all I could have hoped for… let's hear it.” Eclipsa said, her eyes showing determination, sadness, but overwhelming amounts of love and care.

“Zeke's mentality is tied to a sense of duty or responsibility. He.. or she? Is so used to times of conflict or troubles that they can not truly be themself without it, or something to tie their sense of duty and responsibility to. Normally this is solved by them working harsh jobs that require discipline and a constant sense of danger, like royal guarding or adventuring. Keeping in mind that he can not stray more than fifteen feet from you, and given his current form and want to see himself and like who he sees...she? I have a bit of an unorthodox method to try out.”

“Well then, we could give it a go, and worst comes to worst I leave a clone to teach the kids at the school.” Eclipsa said.

“Hm. Okay. Eclipsa, have you ever read a book called My Butler and Maid?”

“I was suggested it by Twilight and … Rarity, but I never got around to reading it.” Eclipsa admitted.

“In short a soldier returns from war, but his PTSD keeps him from holding a steady job. A rich noble who knows of his victories in the field and hires him as Butler to his daughter. He works alongside her maid, who in reality is the daughter herself, who enjoys life as a servant than a nobel, and the foal they care for is her illegitimate child. The set up is interesting and in the end being a servant to a nobel there is danger from Thugs and tyrants looking for political edges. In the end the Butler finds love in the maid/Noble mare and is father to her illegitimate foal and three more after their marriage. I suggest Zeke take up such a role with you.”

“Have them take up the role of a Butler of sorts?” Eclipsa asked

“Yes. Butlers have had a long history of prestige and honor, and a high sense of duty. Not many know this but lesser Noble houses are long lines of butlers and maids to higher nobles or even the princesses. Such a situation could respark his sense of duty if he has to protect while serve. I suggest he serve you while needing to protect you, the foals and your family respectively. While this should be his...her… duty as a parent regardless their PTSD blocks that realization. This can bring that back into light while allowing for some more personal bonding.”

“I'll try. I mean, worst that happens he refuses it, and I try something different.”

“Also, I have been told that you have Spoiled Rich within your stomach for healing the therapy, is that right?”

“Yes. She was mentally and physically very injured. She rests well in there and is healing properly that KS to the oils this stomach specifically produces to both coat who is inside it as well as sustain them so they don't even need food or drink.” Eclipsa said, rubbing her tail. “Every now and then I swallow her daughter so the two can spend time together. Not for long through, she has A bit of an… unhealthy addiction to being swallowed.”

“Yes, and that plays into what I was leading into next.” Lyra said, straightening her seat a bit.

“You want to see if the relaxing properties of being in the healing pouch will help?” Eclipsa guessed.

“That, and something else.” She cleared her throat. “As you know, naturewise and even among the other sentient species of Equis, ponies are by no means built as what we label as predators, we are more prey based. Our diet is proof enough. Very few is any ponies are born with a mentality that would follow a carnivore or omnivore based diet. Our ancestors were genetically built to run and fear their meat eating hunters, but in this day of age that trate while still present does not respond how it should, in fact in some it makes it possible that some ponies who date and mate with omnivore or carnivore based races have a relationship that is a more sexualized take on our ancestors relationship with one another.”

“Okay, but how does that work with Zeke, we are both Omnivores in this case.” Eclipsa asked.

“Yes this is where the subconscious comes into play. You see, any race under the sun seems to report that some youths when able to speak have some reports of early speaking youth talking about remembering things they should not. Darkness, constant slimy wetness, and a heartbeat. Even we ponies who often carry our young on our back, if they lay properly on the adults back can hear the heartbeat of their elder, and feel relaxed. This is our subconscious remembering times of our earliest, safest time in life, before our own birth. In this all dietary races have this in common save for egg laying ones, but only in terms of the heartbeat department.”

“You think that spending time in there is so addicting and soothing because it reminds beings of being in the womb.” Eclipsa said.

“Yes. It resets their stress and mindset to such an early stage of life that they readapt a newborn mentality. It's why newborns love being cradled, and wrapped tightly in blankets, they miss the womb. This addiction is their mind reverting back to that oh so early time in life.”

“I could try it on him… this time with him knowing what is going on. Last time I swallowed him to heal, he punched until I coughed him up.” Eclipsa chuckled.

“And I believe that reaction wasn't so much to being swallowed, it is in relation to his PTSD. The calmness and serenity, to him was more scary than an actual battleground. His mind puts conflict as safety and calmness as fearful. A slow method to switch that would eventually set them right, however I think to avoid another panic attack from him, have him sort of… go in with a purpose. Swallow something like a fork, easy enough for you and have him as an acting maid or Butler retrieve it. He won't be in therefor long but repeating this will have him become accustomed to the therapy atmosphere in there.”

“I can try… Thanks Lyra. How many tickets to Blitz's next concert do I owe you?”

“You're welcome. And none. In Fact if you could actually send more siblings of yours like yourself, that would be best. I want to test out a theory about it and your sister is just one Naga and already works for the hospital.”

“I can put up the ad on my assistant, and if my Naga children are willing, you could ask them.” Eclipsa said, entering in the help wanted ad

“Thank you. Now, there is an...extreme method I thought of if Zeke still isn't responding properly.”

“Do I want to hear it or should this be a cliffhanger?” Eclipsa chuckled.

“While I personally do not think it will go that far I understand from asking your own sister and having a copy of that book on their culture and their many methods of consuming others for either pleasure or bonding, it mentioned an extreme method of bonding by...erhm. Sliding them into your own womb. Unbirth I believe.”

“....Last resort and you are to never, ever tell that to Rune or any of my husbands.”

“Yes. And don't worry, both parties would have to actually consumed a special potion in order for that...deaging process it mentioned to begin, but when inside the womb in this method there is no way Zeke could get out if when swallowing him he brute forces himself out. While teleportation and such are other means of escape I understand you and him are on a same sort of… power level? In any case I am sure if push comes to shove you can do that and have a means of blocking ability to warp out.”

“Yeah, there are a few ways to do that… I'll keep it in mind if I don't see any progress with the normal swallowing and the butler idea.”

“Alright. Lastly if all does go well and worst case scenario he does become addicted to it, you both could play that to your own advantages.”

“Heh, yeah we could… and worst case I find some other way to help him move on.” Eclipsa sighed

“I don't mean just sexually or relationship wise either. While speaking Zeke did mention his ability to shift into his Keyblade form, and that his own infants were first born as Keyblade keychains and could shift at will to an infant form. I believe if Zeke could shift into a Keychain form himself it could make the visual appearance of disbanding him and he vanishes, if the need is to arise, when in reality he teleports to a stomach of yours, something as small as his Keyblade keychains for you likely wound not even feel and give a decent display.”

“It is a possibility. Well, I guess I have to plan a way to approach the butler idea first.” Eclipsa said, sitting up.

“I already asked them about it. They agreed on one condition.”

“That is?” The Naga said, messing with the end of her dress

“Runes and Scotch don't pick out the uniform.”

Eclipsa took a few moments to process that before having a giggling fit. “Fair enough. They would put him in something… well… NSFW.”

“That's what Zeke figured. I'd like you both to come back in a week to see if any form of progress has transpired. I'll need to hear from both parties to have a clear picture. Also if you do get Zeke to stay within you for a bit but he begins to freak out from the tranquility send one of his own wives with him. He seems to speak highly of his Celestia and Hearts Care. Often times having someone you care for as well present in tense or stressing events can reduce his worry if they see their partner are either enjoying it or are okay with it.”

“Was already planning on that, but at least we are on the same page. Take care Lyra. Maybe one of these days we should have a girls night out? It'll work with Zeke now being a they.”

“Sure. Will also help them adjust. Also to ensure he knows they are being assured in their life, at night, lots of hugs and cuddles, snuggling. From what I gathered it's not for a lack of wanting to that his parents didn't do that it's more of a lack of ability or lack of time that they never did it.”

“I will… Zeke has been through enough. They deserves this moment of peace.” Eclipsa smiled, getting ready to leave.

“I also recommend what Justin has told me is a dive, or some means of accessing their dreams. A means of knowing how they are subconsciously.”

“Only done one of those on myself before. I'll give it a shot.” Eclipsa said, heading for the door.

“Alright then, til next time.”

“Till next time.” The Naga said before leaving the office.

We headed out home where Ben's Rarity and Zeke's were fitting her for her outfit. It was… awkward for Eclipsa to see two rarity's since hers was dead, but she sat in a chair outside a blinder.

“So… Enjoying my resized bra Zeke?” Eclipsa asked

“It’s just a little awkward when it shifts and rubs my nipples.” They responded.

“Ah admit it, it's soft. If you want a firmer one we could always make or get you one.”

“I don't know exactly what I- Yipe!” Zeke yelped suddenly.

“Sorry love.” Zeke's Rarity spoke, a missaiked needle having poked the both gender individual under their breast.

Some more minutes passed until it was revealed. Zeke's outfit was a mix of a maid's outfit and a butlers attire. The legs adorned special shoes that whole looking like high heels that they could run in like sneakers, a skirt that while a bit fluffy covered down to their ankles, the shirt was a tuxedo vest with short sleeves, white undershirt and black tie. Lastly for a hat they had hair pin that was a small white fedora. “This is kinda neat.” Zeke said, looking over the attire in the full body mirror. “I like it.”

“Rawr while still looking professional.” Eclipsa commented.

“Looks nice. So, what's my first task then…?” Zeke asked Eclipsa. “I can only really do stuff for you, so what's my first job?”

“Well, your first job is to clean the living room while I catch up on some reading.” Eclipsa said, holding up the book Lyra mentioned.

“Is that the romance novel Lyra told me about?”

“Um… yeah, My Rarity suggested it a while ago, and Lyra peaked my interest.” Eclipsa said, rationalizing it.

“Huh. Alright then.” Zeke said, taking a surprisingly proper yet delicate lady like stance as Eclipsa and she headed to the living room. Zeke cleaned while she read and Eclipsa had to admit, the whole situation felt unusual. Awkward even. Not like roleplay at all, just strange.
