Pov: Keshaun
Time: August 5, 12:07 pm

It's been a week since the death of King Black Beak and Blueblood challenging me to a dual.

Ever since then I have been training more often. Oh who am I fooling it's fucking Blueblood challenging me. I just played videogames until the day of the event. While I just had shadow clones do the training.

I haven't been in a fight with Blueblood so I don't know what he does in a fight. So I'm blind on his fighting style. But I'm sure I can win.

"Hey Keshaun. Caleb made you sushi for good luck for the dual." Spike said yelling from downstairs.

"I'm coming." I said heading down.

When I got downstairs I saw that everyone is here eating the sushi lunch right now.

"Howdy Keshaun. Gilda just told us about the dual. So we came for support. I brought Applebloom cause she wanted to meet you." Applejack said eating the veggie sushis.

"Hello Mr. Keshaun." Applebloom said.

Applebloom was wearing a red Short sleeve shirt and some shorts. She has red hair with a pink bow in it.

"Thanks for the support AJ but you didn't have to do that. Also hello Applebloom and you don't have to call me Mr makes feel older " I said sitting down in an empty chair.

The sushi platter was something I always eat for good luck when I do an important event. The platter was really good looking.

"I just came over because I was hungry." Rainbow said eating some tuna.

"What Rainbow meant to say was we will be there at the dual cheering you on Keshaun." Gilda said.

"She's right about the cheering for you bit. Everyone in Ponyvile will be there. I hope it doesn't put any stress on you." Twilight said.

"Hah. It's a whiny little brat challenging someone who can slap you so hard you can be launched into a mountain. I'm not scared of him." I said.

"What I want to know is why are you dualing the prince darling?" Rarity asked.

"Blueblood tried to assault Spike, Flare, Ash, and Tora. I stopped him and that's why he challenged me to the dual." I answered.

"Heh. I guess your dream prince isn't all you thought he was huh Rarity?" An unicorn filly said.

"Oh hush Sweetie Belle." Rarity said with a blush on her face.

Sweetie Belle giggled from her blushing sister.

"I bet the fight is going to be awesome. Though not as awesome as Rainbow Dash." A Pegasus filly said.

"I wouldn't be so sure Scootaloo. Keshaun might be as awesome as me. If I wanted to be nice." Rainbow said.

"Wow thanks for the clarification Rainbow." I said sarcastically.

"Anyway let's eat!" I said grabbing a pair of chopsticks.

After eating I decided to get ready for the dual. I also decided to transform into a form I haven't used yet. I transform into Brave, Drum.

(Ignore the card text.)

"Wow. You look like a royal guardsman." Fluttershy said complementing my armor.

"I didn't know you were a member of the Royal guard." Rarity said shocked.

"Keshaun isn't really in the royal guard. He's the leader of the Royal guard." Twilight said.

"Keshaun used to be. That was before Shining took over for him." Justice answered.

"Wow. So dad was a leader." Tora and Ash said sparkles in their eyes.

"That's awesome!" Flare said with excitement.

"Okay you all know. Now that you know let's go. Caleb you mind making a gate?" I asked.

"Sure. Gate: Canterlot Castle." Caleb said as a portal to Canterlot appeared before us.

"Ladies first." I said as the girls walked through the portal first.

We followed after to see Celestia, Daybreaker, Nightmare Moon, and Luna on their thrones.

"Mom!" Spike said running towards Celestia.

"Spike! Oh it's so good to see you all." Celestia said hugging Spike.

"Wait. Spike is the adopted prince Black Beak said about?" Rarity asked.

"Yeah. Celestia adopted him when he was a hatchling. Twilight took care of him when Celestia was working. So Twilight is Spike's big sister and Celestia is his mom." I answered.

"And a reason I see as idiotic." Blueblood said entering the room.

"I see that you aren't running. You must be brave or stupid." Blueblood said.

"Naw. I just wanted to give the public a good show." I said with a small smile.

"Don't think that it's going to easy for you. I will enjoy your tears when you lose." Blueblood said looking at everyone else.

" I think I'll have some fun with your girlfriends when you lose." Blueblood thought with a grin on his face leaving towards the arena.

"Master Keshaun. If you would follow me. I shall lead you to the arena." A royal guardsman said.

"Sure. But lose the master stuff. Not my thing." I said following him.

"Of course." The guardsman said.

Short intermission brought by a chibi Keshaun walking towards an arena.

After walking for a few minutes. I made it to the arena. Every race on Terra was here. Ponies, Griffons, Minotaurs, Deers, Zebras, Dragons, Diamond Dogs, even the Oxen were here watching this fight. I saw that Celestia, Daybreaker, Nightmare Moon, and Luna we're in a royal box with the other Kings.

Thousands of voices cheered for both me and Blueblood.

"Got to admit. Blueblood is great at bringing attention. Well time to give a little show before the fight." I said breaking the fourth wall.

When I went through the gate I did three cartwheels into a front flip that went to a handstand to four backflips during the flips I made three shadow clones, they landed in front of me and I ended the entrance with a short dance.

(I threw my scrarf as a replacement)

I jumped out of the head spin and landed on my feet. Everyone started to cheer even louder.

I saw that Blueblood was starting to turn red with anger.

"Aw, what's wrong Blueblood? I'm just giving the crowd a show before the fight." I said as one of the shadow clones handed me a bottle of water.

"You ignorant insufferable lizard bastard! This is a battle not a dance off! You should be taking this seriously!" Blueblood yelled stomping around like a brat.

"Oh I would. If it was against someone who isn't a spoiled brat." I said with venom in my voice when saying spoiled brat.

"Why you insufferable bastard. How dare you say that about me? When I win this fight. You will be regretting what you say about me." Blueblood said with an evil smile on his face.

"I wouldn't bet on it." I said pointing my sword at him.

"Hello ladies and gentlemen. I am Xander your announcer for today. I hope everyone is doing good on this beautiful August afternoon. Today we have an interesting fight ahead of us. The nephew of the Princesses of Canterlot: Prince Blueblood. And one of the winners of the Griffonstone Tournament: (Formerly known as Zero) Keshaun. Folks I hope you are ready because this is going to be a good fight!" the Griffon announcer now named Xander said.

"I will now send things over to Princess Celestia to explain the rules." Xander said.

"Thank you Xander for the commentary. The rules for the dual are simple. The is the one forces their opponent to admit submission or defeat or is knocked unconscious is the winner. And decides what happens to the loser. For it to be a bit fair both combatants must tell the other what will happen when they lose." Celestia said through a microphone as everyone gasped.

"That sounds fine with me. Ready blueballs?" I said relaxing my arm.

"That sounds fine with me too you peasant." Blueblood said with a grin on.

"Keshaun shall say his first." Celestia said.

"If Blueblood looses he must be striped of his title of prince and must work in Sweet Apple Acres farm with no money to his name. His allowance must also be taken away from him. He will be given back his title on the day of the Grand Galloping Gala." I said in a microphone.

"If Keshaun looses. He must break up with his harem mates and the sun Princesses. Also he is to be banished to the cruelest parts of Terra along with the other champions of the Griffonstone Tournament and their pets." Blueblood said with an evil smile on his face.

I just had a shocked look on my face. Everyone in the stands began to talk about what Blueblood said.

"What do you think he meant?"

"No clue. But is Celestia is really dating a guard who is a dragon?"

"Damn I didn't know Celestia was in exotic things?"

"Oh I can't believe what I'm hearing. A dragon in love with a pony."

Many people were talking about it. I all of a sudden heard something from Justice.

"Damnit. I should've known Blueblood would do something like that." He said.

"That butt. How could he be that mean?" Ash said growling.

"Guys calm down. I got this." I said through telepathy to everyone.

"Keshaun what can we do about this? Even though we know you will win. He has a lot of dirt on us. He can just tell everyone about us." Celeb said panicking a bit.

"Calm down Caleb. I have a plan. It something pretty stupid. When I give the signal cover your eyes. Got it everyone?" I said coming up with a plan. They mentally nodded as I cut off the mental conversation.

"Thank you Celestia for giving us our rules. And Keshaun and Blueblood for their losing conditions. Now time to start the dual. Now with me. 3, 2, 1, Go!" Xander and the audience said as we got ready.

(You can end this at anytime)

Blueblood pulled out a Rapier.

"Nice toothpick Blueballs. Your dick like that too?" I said insulting him.

"You bastard. This Rapier is made from the strongest metals in Equestria. And Enchanted to deal with you." Blueblood said rushing forward with a jab.

I dodged to the left catching him off guard.

"You need a lesson in combat. Lesson one: Never go straight for your opponent. Unless they are distracted or an easy target." I said kicking him in the side.

"Grrr. You bastard I'll have you know I have trained under the best fencers in Canterlot. You are nothing but a lizard who is fucking my aunt's!" Blueblood said slashing to his left.

I dodged under it and I leaped two feet away from him. "Stop dodging damnit!" Blueblood yelled.

"Okay then, I'll take the attack." I said with a serious voice rushed at Blueblood. He got in a defensive position as I began to strike at different parts of him. He blocked most of the strikes but a few cuts got on his suit.

"That's it. You're dead for that!" Blueblood yelled sending a powerful jab at my sword, sparks actually fly off both swords. I kicked him away from me

"Heh. Here I thought this would be boring, but I guess it won't be!" I yelled getting excited.

"Don't mock me you lizard!" Blueblood yelled using the Rapier as if it was a sword.

I began to block all of the slashes. Then Blueblood yelled in anger as he began to a thousand stabs as I just block them.

"Dear Faust Ladies and Gentlemen. The battle sure is electrical with our combatants. Both are fighting for something they can't hope to lose. For Keshaun it's his home and loved ones, and for Blueblood it's his pride. This is truly a battle both sides can't lose." Xander said as Blueblood and I were clashing sword against Rapier sparks flying all over the arena. I leaped away from him looked at the girls and guys giving them a nod. They began to cover their eyes.

"Solar Flare!" I yelled blinding Blueblood as Justice and Caleb took his memories.

"Why won't you die?!" Blueblood yelled still swinging his sword.

"Because Blueballs. You are a paper tiger in front of a Strom. You can't win." I said.

"Then what do you call the last three minutes?" Blueblood asked swinging his sword one last time.

"Pity." I said blocking his Rapier with my index and middle fingers before breaking it and kicking him away.

"Wh-what? B-but I-i'm P-prince Blueblood I c-can't lose." Blueblood said starting to cry.

"Ugh this is what I get for giving someone like you a chance to fight. Though I am going to feel sorry for the Apple family. Now surrender Bluebitch!" I said pointing my sword at his neck.

"I surrender." Blueblood said lowering his head and I put my sword in its sheath.

"And there it is folks. By submission Keshaun has won the dual. Those who had bets on this fight are going home a richer person." Xander said as everyone cheered for me.

I saw that the girls and the guys were coming down. Gilda, Pinkie, and Fluttershy tackled me giving a tight hug while crying.

"Sorry about that everyone." I said with a smile.

"What the heck are you apologizing for?" Applejack asked.

"Because you have to deal with that whiny brat." I said pointing at Blueblood crying on the ground.

"I'm sure we can manage." Applejack said.

"That was cool! You and Blueblood were fighting as if it was a fight in an anime. You were like "hahaha having fun yet." And Blueblood was like "stop making fun of me you lizard." It was so awesome!" Rainbow said.

"Heh. I would've thought Pinkie would say that." I said jokingly.

"Yeah I feel like I didn't say a thing this chapter." Pinkie said breaking the fourth wall.

"Chapter?" Fluttershy asked.

"It's Pinkie. Don't question it." Gilda said getting up.

"Wait." A familiar voice said. I turned to see it was the Deer king.

"Oh hey Deer King. What do ya need?" I asked getting up.

"My name is Cain. Try to remember it." The deer now named Cain said.

"Well Cain, I'm Keshaun. So anything you need?" I said extending my hand.

"I would like to talk with you. With the Elements of Harmony and the Princesses." Cain said grabbing my hand.

"Is it about Black Beak?" Justice asked.

"Yes. Well more about the figures I'm sure he told you about." Cain said.

"Keshaun darling. Is there something you aren't telling us?" Rarity asked as the girls had their arms crossed.

"We'll tell you all about it. Let's just head to the throne room." Justice said heading towards the gate I entered in.

After exiting the arena and heading to the throne room. Celestia, Daybreaker, Nightmare Moon, and Luna here with us.

"Okay now that everyone is hear. I'll tell you why we came to Canterlot besides the dual." I said.

After telling what happened last week. The girls gasped in shock.

"King Black Beak died?" Gilda asked still in shock about the tale.

"It saddens me too. I knew that they were going to kill him. I just didn't want to be right. That's why I lied about why I came to the tournament. Black Beak still had his mind but it was mostly corrupted." Cain said.

"Wait so let me get this straight. King Black Beak was actually a good guy. Four dudes wearing different colored cloaks gave him Ash, Flare, and Tora and three black shards that can corrupt anyone who has darkness in their hearts. Who also corrupted him slowly. Knew about Keshaun, Caleb, and Justice. Who are actually from another dimension. Sent by an old man who sounded like they were in their 20's. Planned the tournament so that the other races would kill Keshaun, Caleb, and Justice. So that Black Beak would have power to help take over the world for them? But Black Beak was actually lying to them so he could use the power to protect his kingdom. Told Cain about it. Who is Black Beak's friend since they were kids. To use us as bait to win the tournament so Keshaun Caleb and Justice would interrogate him to tell why he did this. Do I have everything right?" Rainbow said basically summarizing the last three hours.

"Yes..." I answered hoping they would believe that.

"He isn't lying." Applejack said sensing if I was lying.

"I'm glad you believe us." Cain said with a small smile on his face.

"I would still believe Keshaun. Even if he was lying." Gilda said hugging me.

"Me too." Fluttershy said also giving me a hug.

"Me three. Group hug." Pinkie said hugging me too with Celestia and Daybreak.

"The same with Justice. I would still believe him." Luna said hugging him.

"Same here." Nightmare Moon and Twilight said joining in the hug.

"We're the same with Caleb." Rainbow, Rarity, and Applejack said giving Caleb a hug.

"Keshaun, Caleb and Justice are like my father figures. I'll believe them too." Spike said.

"Well now that cute moment happened. Cain you were going to tell us something?" Justice said.

"Oh right. Those figure actually sent over someone you knew." Cain said

"Wait you're not saying?" I asked.

"Yes. They sent over your parents to Black Beak." Cain said before continuing.

"They sent them over about two years ago. I was actually made king around that time. Anyway Black Beak gave them to me for protection against the figures. Incase the figures we're going to use them as a bargaining chip." Cain said.

"Well then I guess we know where we're going." I said laughing a little.

"The Deer Kingdom welcomes the Elements of Harmony, The Prince and Princesses, and winners of the Griffonstone Tournament with open arms. Also the Deer Kingdom is very cold." Cain said.

"Well I guess I should make some cold resistance armor." I said.

"I'm going to meet your parents for the first time. Wow this is going to be awkward." Twilight said jokingly.

"Don't worry I'll bring them to our house. And then we can have some fun after meeting." Justice said with a sly smile.

"Down boy." Twilight said with the same smile as I covered Ash,Flare, and Tora's eyes.

"Well today was a good day. I kicked Blueblood's pride like a soccer ball. Won in front of billions. And we are going to get our parents. Well let's get going." I said as Caleb opened another gate back to the library.

"So the trio is still alive. Should we send someone after them?" A young sounding voice asked.

"No let them live a little longer." I said.

"Good. I need more information on their abilities." A monotone voice said.

"Yeah, yeah. God it's just research with you." A laid-back voice said.

"That is my order." The monotone voice said with sarcasm.

"Enough. Those three must become stronger. So we can have our battle. So that the age of darkness begins." I said as I began to laugh.
