Pov: Keshaun

It's been a week since the best young fliers competition and Rainbow doing the Sonic rainboom again.

Celestia told me that Caleb, Justice and I are allowed to interrogate King Black Beak. So right now I was telling them about it.

"What?! We're allowed to interrogate King Black bitch?" Justice said surprised.

"I would've thought Celestia already got the info from him" Caleb said shocked about it.

"According to Celestia. Black Beak won't say anything about the shards or how he got Ash, Flare, and Tora. He won't even say anything about how the deer king knew about the prize for the tournament. All he will do is eat the food and that's it." I said.

"Well I think this might be a trap." Justice said.

"If it was a trap the Griffon kingdom would be invading Canterlot Prison and breaking him out." Caleb said thinking about the logic of what Black Beak would plan.

"It was almost like he wanted to be captured." Caleb added.

"Yeah. It did seem weird when he tried to run. He didn't struggle trying to break free." I said remembering the tournament.

"Well we should get going to Canterlot." Justice said heading out the door of the library.

"Wait we should bring Spike. He might tell if we leave him. Also we should bring Ash, Flare, and Tora." I said stopping Justice.

"Your right. I'll get him." Justice said grabbing Spike, Ash, Flare, and Tora.

"What's up guys I was teaching them math." Spike said holding a small blackboard.

"Spike, Ash, Flare, Tora. We're going to Canterlot." I said before Transforming into my true form.

"Really?" Ash, Flare, and Tora asked at the same time.

"Yep." Caleb said nonchalantly.

"Hope your ready for this guys and girl?" I said petting Ash.

"I seriously feel bad for lying to them about this trip. But they can't know the real reason why we're going. But I know they will be safe." I thought feeling malcontented about this.

After flying for an hour or so. We made it to Canterlot. We landed in the gardens and we went inside the castle.

"Let's hurry up guys." I said looking around.

"What is up with you?" Caleb asked.

"Nothing just looking around." I said.

"You seem to be a bit concerned for something to just be looking around Keshaun." Caleb said.

"Look I'm just looking around to see if he isn't here." I said looking around.

"Oh.....Ohhhhh!" Justice said knowing what I meant.

"Justice shut up!" I said knowing what he's doing.

"Bluebloo-" Justice said before I stopped him.

"I can't let him know I'm here." I said letting him go.

"Who's Blueblood?" Tora asked unknowingly rubbing salt in the wound.

"Did someone call me?" A familiar voice asked.

(I couldn't find any anthro versions of him so pretend he's anthro)

"[Gasp] You lizards are back?" Blueblood asked.

"Oh hey Blueblood. How are you doing today?" Justice said with a smile.

"Don't you dare talk to me you replusive reptile. I don't know what aunties see in you." Blueblood said pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Also hello there adopted cousin. I see you are here too. I also see you have some freaks of nature are with you." Blueblood said as my rage began to raise.

"Your a mean buttface." Flare said.

"What was that you little brat. My aunties are the Princesses. I could have you and your friends banished to cruelest parts of Terra if you mess with me." Blueblood said getting angry walking towards Flare.

I grabbed his hand before he could do anything.

"If you even hurt him or his brother and sister. I will beat you within an inch of your pathetic life. Got it Bluebitch?" I asked letting him go.

"You're lucky that you're auntie Celestia and Daybreak's boyfriend. This isn't the end. You can bet on that." Blueblood said going away

"Let's go. Spike show Ash,Flare, and Tora around Canterlot. Caleb, Justice and I have to talk with Celestia." I said calming down.

"Okay. Sure." Spike said going to show them all of Canterlot.

After a bit of walking we made to the Prison and to King Black Beak's cell. Celestia had a worried look on her face.

"Oh thank mother you all came. He won't say anything to the guards, to Shining. No one. He keeps saying I will tell the three. That's it." Celestia explained.

"Don't worry babe. We'll get the info. Even if we have to beat it out of him." I said hugging her.

"Ah, so nice for you three to join me. Pull up a seat. Relax a bit. You can't enjoy a good story tensed. Have some coffee." Black Beak said holding a cup of coffee.

I knocked the cup away and pulled a seat.

"Listen here you son of a bitch. I'm here for fucking info. And you are going to give it up. Got it birdbrain?" I said slamming my hand on the table.

"Fine take the fun away. I'll tell you everything." Black Beak said.

"Wait it's that easy?" Justice said confused.

"First I'll start with how I got the shards of corruption." Black Beak said setting a candle on fire.

"Three years ago. When the monster attacks started to become more often in the Griffon kingdom. I tried to find ways to get help. No one knew about the attacks because they didn't happen in the other kingdoms. When I didn't have any hope a miracle happened." Black Beak said as a flashback began.

Flashback

A black portal appeared in front of me. Then four different colored cloaked figures came through. I couldn't see their faces. I knew they were dragons because of their claws and wings.

"So you desire power? Or did I not hear you right?" the black cloaked figure said with a deep male voice.

"W-who are you four?" I asked on the floor in fear.

"Don't worry. We won't kill you or something. In fact we want to help." the purple cloaked figure said with a laid-back voice.

"Help?" I said confused about what they meant.

"We have come to give you power. King Black Beak." the cyan cloaked figure said with a young sounding but powerful voice.

"What's in it for me?" I asked.

"You will listen to our directions clearly. Do so and we will give you the power to rule Terra. Or fail to and the Griffon kingdom will burn in ashes and blood." the red cloaked figure said in a monotone voice.

"Okay I will do as you say." I said getting up.

"Good. There are three dragons that will be a problem in our plan. So you will have to take care of them. Now three years on the 25th of July. You will host a tournament with all of the other kingdoms. When there are 4 contestants left you will use a gift we will give you. If they win you won't get your power. If they lose you will get the power. So do we have a deal?" the black cloaked figure said extending a hand.

"You got a deal." I said grabbing his hand.

"Then you are going to need our gift boss said. Red give him the three runts." the cyan figure said as the red figure gave me three cages.

Inside we're three creatures I didn't know about. One was in the corner of the cage scared. Another was trying to break out. And the last one was crying.

"Those three will be the deciding factor in the deal. And before you say anything there is more to the gift." the red figure gave me three black shards of a crystal speaking in a monotone voice.

"Those are corruption crystals. They make anything violent, destructive, and psychotic. Especially these three runts. Getting you three was a pain in the ass, but it was worth it. Also here is a collar for all three of them if you want it." the purple cloaked figure said smacking the cage of the one trying to break out and handing me the collars.

"What are they? The monsters I mean." I asked.

"They are monsters from another world. That is all of the information about them you will get." the black figure said.

"Of course sir." I said with fear.

"Good to know you know your place. Now we will be going. Have fun with them." the black figure said as the different colored cloaked figures followed behind leaving from the portal.

Flashback over

"And that is everything I know about the corruption crystals and how those three got here. I told the deer king about them and he believed me. So I was forced to do this by them." King Black Beak said finishing his story.

"That's good, but what I want to know is that us winning condition. Will they try to kill you when you tell us everything?" I asked shocking Justice and Caleb.

"I knew that they would kill me. They seem to be the type that use people as tools. Then dispose of them when they lose use. They were smart. They put that one in the Ursa Minor as a calling card. The tournament was also a calling card and you three took it. They made thousands of those crystals. And I'll be a new one in the pile." Black Beak said.

"What do you mean?" Justice said grabbing him by the collar.

"It's too late for me. Before I die tell Gilda. I'm sorry. And the Deer king. Stop with the facade." Black Beak said with a tear in his eyes.

All of a sudden he started groan in pain as black shards began to grow out of his body.

"Let me say one thing. One of their names flashed in my mind when I made the deal. His name is A-" Black Beak said before a shard grew in his neck, heart, and brain killing him instantly.

All of the shards began to grow faster on his body until his body was in cased in crystal.

"Stop the facade. What does that mean?" Justice said confused.

"His personality was fake on purpose." Caleb deducted.

"Well we got some info. Black Beak and The Deer King are friends. There are four people that brought Ash, Flare, and Tora to this world. They are incredibly smart. And are able to kill from very far." I said listing the things about our enemy.

"But I didn't kill him." Justice whined.

"You can break the crystals." I said as Justice did exactly that.

"Well let's get Spike, Ash, Flare and Tora." I said heading out of the room.

"I'll take some off the shards for research." Caleb said grabbing some with telekinesis.

"What happened? Did Black Beak give you the info? Where's Black Beak?" Celestia asked.

"Black Beak was killed by his dealers. Yes he gave us the info. And that pile of black shards." I answered pointing at the pile of black shards on the floor.

"Oh well. Would you like to eat lunch with us boys?" Celestia asked.

"Sure." We said at the same time.

Short intermission brought to you by a chibi Keshaun Caleb Justice and Celestia walking towards the castle.

After heading back to the castle. I saw that Spike was protecting Ash, Flare, and Tora from Blueblood.

"Hey!" I yelled running towards them.

"Oh Aunty Celestia. There you are. Your boyfriend assaulted me. He and his friends should be banished." Blueblood said faking with tears in his.

"Oh you think you can act your way out of this. You said that you would banish a bunch of baby monsters because one told you are a buttface." I said putting a claw on his shirt.

"[Gasp] You barbarian. You touched a suit that cost more than you make in your whole life in a job." Blueblood said appalled.

"Oh cry me a river why don't ya?" I said using water bending to make a ball of water and splashed it on him.

"Why you insufferable bastard. You ruined a work of art in fashion. That's it." Blueblood said as he took his glove of and slapped me with it.

"I challenge you to a dual. Winner does what they want to the loser." Blueblood said putting it back on.

"Sure I'll have fun." I said with sadistic smile on my face.

"It will be on the 5th at 1:00 pm." Blueblood said setting the time.

"Cool. Make it a public event that everyone can see." I said.

"You uncultured swine. You know nothing about a dual." Blueblood said as I decided to eat back at Ponyvile.

"I guess our lunch date will have to be on another day. See ya later Tia. And tell Daybreak I said hi I love you." I said flying with Spike and Flare in my arms.

"Bye Mom!" Spike said waving to Celestia.

"Goodbye. My son." Celestia said crying a little.

Hello everyone this is Keshaunthesilverwolf here with chapter 17. This is a very plot heavy chapter. Also I forgot to mention you were supposed to ignore the laughter in the beginning of the outro. With that in mind from a howl at the Moon from the silver wolf see you all soon and have a great day or night.
