A long-awaited crossover with Tempest_Flare and his character Ayumi from his story year of the dragonoid. This is part one in small saga that will help events move along in this story.

The sun shone through a set of windows hitting a certain mage king right in the eyes. Asta woke up the day after he'd taken Twilight out to Canterlot and sat up in bed giving a big yawn. Scratching his head he looked around the room to see that it wasn't his usual view. Meanwhile across the ways on the next house over's roof sat a certain solid black cat flicking its tail while looking in the window.

"Where the hell am I?" He quirked an eyebrow as his eyes slowly adjusted. He looked around and saw that he was in a room designed for a single occupant that was adorned with various shades of purple. "This isn't my house." he twisted his head surveying the contents of the room. "Hmm... I see a lot of books." he looked down to see the bed he was laying in and that there was a mass lying next to him under the blankets.

Asta pulled the blanket back to reveal a naked Twilight Sparkle snuggled into his side with a pleasant smile on her face. "Oh yeah," Asta said softly as he reached down and brushed some of the hair out of her face. "But why is she in the buff?"

Asta and Twilight were having so much fun that they'd lost track of time and it had turned dark before they realized it. Wanting to go dancing Asta managed to sway Twilight to come to a bar, though she was still resolute about not drinking. Asta simply replied by saying everypony else could drink the night away for all he cared, the only reason he was going was so he could have some fun with his new marefriend and cut loose a bit. Twilight heaved a happy sigh and smirked as Asta took her by the hand and led her out on the dance floor.

After a while of cutting a good chunk of the floor to pieces with their feet, Asta and Twilight decided to take a little break so they stepped off to the side and to the bar to get some refreshment. Twilight reminded Asta no alcohol and Asta wholeheartedly agreed. After getting some water and catching their breaths Asta decided to depart to go to the bathroom before the couple decided to call it a night and head out while leaving Twilight at the bar, alone.

Two stallions had spotted Asta and Twilight as soon as they entered the bar and they had been watching the pretty mare as this joke of a male had been goofing around with her. So after getting some liquid courage in their systems and watching for the right opportunity to present itself, they played the waiting game. As soon as Asta was gone they decided to make their moves and bag this mare and in their minds, she was theirs.

"Hey, there pretty lady," one slurred as he appeared on one side of Twilight. "My name's Rough Rock."

Rough Rock was a well-built earth pony stallion. He had blue eyes, slicked-back black hair, wore blue jeans, sandals, and a white t-shirt that hugged his body too well.

"Me and my buddy Fast Track," Rock motioned to a Pegasus stallion with hazel eyes, green wings, and blonde spiky hair who was wearing a grey muscle shirt and black pants with black boots. "We wanted to get to know ya a bit better. Now that the grey-headed fool of a colt is gone, ya can talk to a real male."

Twilight felt extremely uncomfortable around these two stallions, similar to how she felt when she was kidnapped by the Caribou months ago. She still stood her ground and told them off.

"I would very much appreciate it if you would leave me alone," Twilight retorted as she kept her gaze forward. "I won't be here much longer. Once my coltfriend comes back we're leaving anyway, so I'd rather not get dragged into a long conversation with a couple of drunks."

"What did you say you little stuck up bitch?!" Fast Track sneered as he grabbed hold of Twilight collar with both hands. "I don't remember Rough asking you. He said we are gonna talk." He looked in her eye and her glare said it all. "Oh, I know just to fix you ya bitch, in private." He smirked.

Twilight's eye shrank and she wanted to call for help but found herself mute.

"Let's have some fun Rough," Fast snickered.

"Ah'm in," Rough chuckled as they started to move off when a hand grabbed onto Fast's arm.

"You better let go of my girl right now you piece of shit," Fast turned to see Asta scowling at the stallion, murder written on his face. "Cause if you don't you'll be lucky to get out of here without a lot of broken bones."

"Oh, little shit thinks he's got balls," Rough laughed. "Get lost kid, she's our girl now!" he said, raising a fist and bringing it down to connect with a free palm.

Asta glared as the stallions tried to free themselves from the mages grip, "I said let her go," He remarked as he squeezed hard on Fast's arm causing the stallion to cry out in pain while Asta forced Rough to his knees by twisting his fist. "I said if you were lucky you'd leave here with a few broken bones and seeing as how I'm in a forgiving mood I let you off with dislocations."

Before anypony realized it both of the pricks were screaming in pain on the ground. Using them as a distraction Asta scooped Twilight up in his arms and quickly rushed out of the bar. He proceeds to jump to the roofs of Canterlot, putting distance between them and the bar.

"Sorry about that Twilight," Asta lamented. "I should've known something like that would happen."

"It's okay," she relaxed in his arms snuggling into his chest while enjoying the view. "Thank you for saving me," Twilight wrapped her arms around Asta's neck and lightly kissed his cheek. "Hey, can we go to my parents' house? It's getting late and I want to stay somewhere I feel safe."

"Sure just tell me where to go," Asta smiled

To say that her parents were surprised by their arrival and her news was an understatement. Twilight had told them they were together now and that they came to the city for a day but some stuff happened and she wanted to stay the night. Twilight's folks couldn't say no after they'd heard what happened and let them in, though they said Asta had better not try anything. Safe to say that they let the couple stay in the same room at least, and at some point in the night Twilight had wanted Asta to join her in the bed saying she wanted him close by, and he relented.

The sun hit Twilight in the eyes and she woke up and stretched both her arms letting the blanket fall off her revealing her completely naked form. Asta simply stared and got a bit of a nose bleed.

"Ah Twilight," He muttered.

"She looked over her shoulder and then jumped on Asta throwing her arms around his neck and nuzzling his face while she pinned him to the bed," Asta you're here, so it wasn't a dream at all." she slightly wept.

Asta placed a hand on her head and stroked her hair calming her down. "No Twi, it wasn't a dream. I'm right here and so are you. Though... you might want to put some clothes on before your parents walk in on us."

"What?" she pushed up while Asta looked up with his face completely flushed. Twilight looked down and saw she wasn't wearing anything he faced lit up as she grabbed the blanket and quickly wrapped herself up in it. "I'm so sorry," she whimpered.

"Not that I DON'T appreciate the view Twi, but why the hell are you nude?" Asta remarked as he sat up and got out of the bed looking for his clothing. "Where's my shirt and pants? There they are," he remarked as he went over and slipped his clothes on. He'd slept in his underwear at least. "Back to you why?"

"I've always slept without clothes on, I find them too restrictive at night," She replied in embarrassment.

"Hmm... okay," Asta shrugged to Twilight's astonishment. "Most people do and that's why they sleep in their underwear. A lot of them sleep in the buff too. Nothing to worry about I just a little taken back is all. I know you went to bed with pajamas on and waking up to you nude was surprising is all."

"I kind of shed them before I asked you to get in bed with me," Twilight eeped in embarrassment.

There was a knock at the door and Twilight's mother's voice could be heard on the other side. "Breakfast is ready you two. Quit playing around and come down."

"Coming," Asta acknowledged. "Get dressed and I'll see you at the table," He kissed her and quickly left.

"Sleep well?" Twilight's mother's voice rang out in a sing-song tone causing Twilight to keep burying her face in the blanket.

Meanwhile outside on the neighbor's roof, Yoruichi watched closely. "After a day of watching all I know is that they care about each other like a normal couple," the cat commented with a sigh to itself. "Best stay on them for now."

Night Light sat at his kitchen table sipping his morning coffee and reading the local Canterlot times while his wife, Twilight Velvet, fixed his plate. Both were well-respected members of the community and minor nobility with Night Light being the Lead astronomer and head of the Canterlot observatory. Twilight Velvet was the head professor of magic theory at Celestia Magic College for unicorns along with being a published author of novels and unknown to her daughter a friend of AK Yearling aka Daring Do.

'What do you think of him?" Night blurted out the question that had been bugging him since last night.

"I think he is a very good-hearted pony, well-respected stallion, and the best thing for our little girl outside of her realizing her dream of being the Princess's student," Velvet commented. "He certainly has an air about him."

"Hmm..." Night sipped his coffee. "I just don't like it. He is the reason she was kidnapped and has barely been here in Equestria."

"He also put his life on the line to protect her, her friends, Spike, Shining, Cadence, and the entire Crystal Empire," Velvet pointed out "He protected her last night in that bar didn't he?"

"You're right," Night relented."I want to talk to him stallion to stallion though. There are a few things that I can iron out only by talking to him."

"You can have your talk Night Light but you better watch what you say," Velvet warned. "I've seen how our baby girl looks at him and it's the same way I looked at you. If you end up pushing her away we might not get her back."

The heard creaking from the stairs as Asta came down from the washroom, "Good Morning Sparkles. Again, I'm sorry about the sudden intrusion last night."

"Think nothing of it dear," Velvet waved off the apology. "I'm glad you both came as we haven't seen our little girl in a while. She must be busy with what you're doing and trying to get off the ground."

"So news reached out here already," Asta looked a little taken aback.

"A new kingdom is a big deal, Mr. Ferris, excuse me, your highness," Night jabbed.

"Please don't do that," Asta sighed. "I never wanted to be a king, but if I didn't then there would've been hell over there. And yes Twi has been very busy and a great help. You should see all the students she has."

"She teaches?" Night was startled slightly.

"Mainly basic classes like math, science, reading, and writing but also magic for those that can use it though many can't," Asta confirmed as he sat down.

"I'll just go check on Twilly," Velvet softly smiled, but shot her husband a glare as she went upstairs.

"Mr.Ferris," Night looked at the man across from him with a stern look but Asta didn't falter. "What exactly does my daughter mean to you? I've read her letters to know enough that you are already in a herd with two of the other Elements of Harmony and show them both affection. I don't want my little girl to become a third party in all this. She may love you but will you be able to love her back? I've seen the herd dynamic start out good for many but it would quickly shift into neglect as time went on with the stallion choosing to stay with the main mare most of the time, usually one of the ones he's added later one. Do you even really love her?"

"Love is a very strong word to use Mr. Sparkle," Asta looked him dead in the eye. "Yes I deeply care for Twilight, she means a lot to me. Just as much as Fluttershy and Applejack and I can fully understand where you're coming from. The herd thing is something that troubles you because you care for Twilight as her father and you want the best for her. Am I the best for her? I don't think so. There are a ton of other stallions out there that would be a much better fit for her than me but she chose me and I will do my best to do right by her feelings. My girls are all equal in my eyes, but at the same time I love and care for them in different ways."

"Hmm..." he rubbed his chin. "How do I know you won't just toss her aside once you have an heir to your throne with her or one of the others?"

"You don't have to worry about that," Asta pointed out. "if that were the case I'd never have gotten into the relationship with her at all in the first place. My first marefriend is currently three months pregnant with our child. Let me tell you this Mr. Sparkle," Asta got up and walked to the window. "I respect you for having a singular marriage in a world that encourages group relationships. I come from a world where single partners are the norm for most. And that was what I wanted with Shy at first, then Aj confessed to me and I... was at a crossroads until my older brother encouraged me to acknowledge how I felt about Aj. Now I have Twilight, and I will not know if we are meant to be if we don't try. So I'm trying. I won't force her to do anything she doesn't want to do. Like all in my kingdom she is free to choose her path in life, should that be with me as her lover then that is what it will be. At this time we are together, but she is free to leave the herd should she want to and I won't hold it against her, even if I do truly fall in love with her."

"So you do care about my girl but don't truly love yet," Night joined Asta. "I can respect you as a Stallion and a King for that. Just try and make her happy."

"I'll do all I can," Asta smiled as he looked to the stallion.

Soon the women returned and they all sat down for a hearty breakfast. They all laughed and spoke casually and the Sparkles encouraged Asta to visit and then it was time for Asta and Twilight to head back to Waillen but first, they stopped in Ponyville to check on things.

First, they stopped in at the Apple family farm to give the Apples the news of their impending next of kin, which made Granny Smith give a big "YEE-HAW!". Big Mac shook Asta's hand and bear-hugged Twilight while Applebloom almost choked the bookkeeper to death with her hug.

Then the couple headed over to Shy and Asta's homes to check on the animals running into one of Dash's weather team, Thunderlane, and his kid brother Rumble along the way. Asta asked them if they'd look after the animals every other day as Fluttershy wouldn't be able to make as many trips in the coming weeks. They agreed and Asta said he'd pay them for any extra work they'd done around the properties then needed to be done.

With these stops out of the way Asta and Twilight headed over to the Library and gave it a quick dusting and overall cleaning. They went ahead and checked in any books that had been placed in the Dropbox and then reshelved them. After this, they headed to the final stop and went into the Everfree Forest to see Zecora on behalf of Fluttershy. Twilight thought that the Alchemist may be able to make a potion that would ease Fluttershy's morning sickness.

"I see, so dear Fluttershy has a child to bare," Zecora smiled as she moved to a cabinet and pulled out a few round bottles with a pinkish purple bubbling-sparkling liquid in them. "This brew should the trick do."

"Thank you Zecora," Asta bowed. "I know she's getting tired of not being able to keep her food down."

"Indeed, though this brew will only ease the urge to spew," Zecora pointed out. "For the urges to chew and the mood swings there is nothing that the humble shaman can do."

Twilight tilted her head because even though she had grown used to Zecora's rhyming speech it would still confuse her from time to time given the meaning of the words."What?"

"She meant this will only help Shy's Morning Sickness," Asta explained. "And that she'll still have cravings for specific types of food, urges to go out and do certain things, and mood swings from her hormones."

"Oh, sorry Zecora," Twilight blushed.

"I'm sorry to impose anymore Zecora, but would you mind coming to Waillen to stay for a while?" Asta asked. "We've been making do with what we have access to but a skilled healer and alchemist there would be a big help. I'm sure we have several citizens that would love to learn your craft."

"As dark and dangerous Everfree maybe, I can not just up and leave," Zecora said. "Many ponies in Ponyville and the surrounding area depend on me."

"I don't want you to move there, just come and help out with identifying plants that we can use and teach basic medical techniques that any pony, in general, could apply out in the fields if needed," Asta held his hand up.

"We have some people that have a little bit of medical knowledge but no actual doctors aside from the small-time physician for the local Shadowbolts that does regular medical check-ups," Twilight added. "I can read medical books and help teach lessons but when it comes to application it's a little more than I can handle."

"I can provide you with a means to get back on forth as well as the first pick of any herbs and medicinal plants that grow in the area, though it is mainly grasslands out there," Asta somewhat begged.

"I have heard tell of a city to the north surrounded by a great crystal wall. Is this the home of which you call?" Zecora asked.

"It is," Asta nodded.

"I will go later on," Zecora humbly agreed. "Give me a few days to pack and ready but for now you must begone."

"Thank you, "Asta bowed again then he and Twilight said to go by and left.

All the while Yoruichi had still been tailing the couple now watching them from a branch nearby.

"Alright, it's about noon, and we should head back," Asta said with his cheeks slightly flushed. "Ah... the others might think we... yea..."

Twilight's face lit up as her gaze shifted to the side, "Ah yea... let's go back." Twilight responded as she opened a portal and the duo walked through outside Twilight's house.

Yoruichi immediately made a mad dash for the opposite side of the portal going through it just before it closed. The cat looked around and s beheld the sight of a thriving but still developing city. 'Now we're getting somewhere Kisuke.' Yoruichi thought while moving out of the line of sight.

"I'll see you later Twi," He said giving her a quick kiss. "Got to run this potion to the house and see where Shy is so she can have some, Later." He said as he activated his Flight necklace and flew off while Twilight waved.

"Time for a shower... a cold shower," Twilight heaved open the door.

"Hmm..." Yoruichi watched Asta take flight. "That is a new one," the cat said to itself while flicking its tail. "I must say for only being here a few months this place is already looking better than the Rukongai." Yoruichi's attention went to the sky in the direction that Asta had flown off in. The cat then saw the mage king land as one of the few large two-story buildings in the city. Taking no time, the cat darted to the house. "Let's see what your home life is like Black King," Yoruichi remarked looking in a window.

"Shy, Aj," Asta called out. "I'm back!"

"In here sugar," Aj's voice rang out from the downstairs bathroom. Asta walked in to see Aj comforting Shy. "Shy's stomach has been actin up since before breakfast," the farm girl explained as she held her friend's hair up. "How'd yesterday and last night going?"

"Anything happen you'd like to share... urgh" Shy managed to sharply say before dry heaving.

"Me and Twi had a great date, I met an old friend who's Displaced as a Shinigami, we went dancing at a bar," Aj squinted at him. "Didn't drink," he quickly cut off her line of thought. "Though some stallions tried to take Twi."

"Ya didn't hurt'um too much did ya?" Aj looked worried.

"No more than a couple of dislocated joints," Asta waved it off.

"You should've broken their faces!" Shy said enraged. "Oh I'm so sorry about that..." she said embarrassed.

"Anyways... We spent the night at Twi's parents' house, nothing happened but we did sleep in the same bed," He nipped that in the bud rather quickly. "Then we had breakfast there and left for the Farm telling The Apples the good news, your sister nearly choked Twilight to the point of passing out," Asta cut to Aj. "From there we stopped at mine and Shy’s place. I’m having Thunderlane and Rumble keeping a close eye on things there. At that point we went to the library and cleaned up then straight to Zecora's place for this," he held up the vials. "Twi thought Zecora might be able to make something to help dissuade your morning sickness so you can keep your food down. Take a teaspoon of it every three to four hours, and she said it may taste like fizzy strawberries."

"Thanks, Asta," Shy got to her feet and wrapped him in a hug, and kissed his cheek while he then wrinkled his nose from the smell. "Sorry," she said sheepishly.

"No big deal Shy, but that does remind me I need a shower," Asta remarked. "Here Aj, get her to drink some and then get some food in her about ten minutes after."

"Ah got it sugar," Aj saluted and took the potion as she then took Shy into the living room.

"Now, shower time," Asta smirked as he shut the door.

Yoruichi watched and behind the cat a figure loomed," Hmm... I best get back to Kisuke and report about this town," Suddenly a white rabbit pounced on the unsuspecting cat only to be bitched slapped with said cat's tail several dozen times before being batted away. "Work on your sneaking before your attack bunny. I heard your breathing while you were in the house," Yoruichi commented as the cat landed the tip of its tail in the dead center of the rabbit’s face then walked away leaving a black and blue Angel bunny seeing stars in a corner. "Hmmph." the cat smirked then darted off from roof to roof.

Asta took his shower then put and then went to his room and put on his training GI with his haori over it. That's when the necklace he’d found yesterday in Canterlot during his meeting with Ichigo fell out of his bundle of dirty clothes. "Uh... oh yea," we bent down and picked up the token and looked it over in his hand. "I thought I put this thing in my Grimoire yesterday. Hehehe... just had too much fun I guess. Hmm... Why the hell not it's been a fortnight since that asshole Zeldris was here AND I could use an unfamiliar face to talk to. Now, Ayumi, Goddess of Balance, I the Anti-Magic Knight summon you!"

Unfortunately as a gold and purple portal opened next to the bed a familiar anthro pony walked through.

"Just finished my dinner good sir." the anthro alicorn said as she slightly bowed her head in greeting. "How may I help the Black King?"

“A few things first,” Asta held up his fingers. “Hi, names Asta Ferris, how the hell do you know my title, and why do you look like Twilight but not Twilight?”

"First answer: I research other displaced through a laptop with an Omniversal Internet connection. Since I met a few of the bad ones I tend to look into whom I might meet. The second answer is a bit complicated, on my Earth I was the Twilight analog, and becoming displaced just merged my human mind and soul with the Twilight of the Equus I was sent to. This resulted in me taking a new name when traveling the Multiverse: Ayumi Dno'oove named after my cosplay." She explained in classic lecture mode. "I became an alicorn the day I merged with my other half due to my powers and Goddesshood the morning my third parent and second mother Luna Di Amoure returned from the moon"

“Wow, here I am a second rate stand-in actor who won a card game,” Asta scratched the back of his head. “So what do we do now?”

The lavender Anthro Alicorn suddenly fell to the floor a pattern glowing purple appeared on her fur. "Not now!" She groaned as she began convulsing.

“Hey what’s going on?” Asta knelt down.

"You know my warning in my creed," Ayumi said as she began getting up and trying to leave the room. "about the curse of The Dark? It's kind of not under my full control. It can self manifest in the presence of powerful dark forces. Your black friend the AMD counts and right now I'm just barely holding it back. We need to get somewhere far away from people before the curse summons things like a Pangolin!"

“Sorry but there’s not a whole lot I can do about him,” Asta helped Ayumi to her feet and into a chair. “I can’t exactly turn off his power. Raava is the only reason I haven’t lost my body to him at this point. Is there a way we can suppress it?”

"The best way we fight off the beasts the curse summons. Kill enough of them and the curse will be reabsorbed into my body" Ayumi said as the glow intensified. "Plus I need to blow off some steam."

“What sort of range are we talking about and do they target you specifically or anything around them?” Asta inquired, “I need to know cause I have citizens to look out for and I don’t want the buildings outside the walls damaged as we just started to expand outside them.”

"100 feet at most" Ayumi said stumbling into the hallway "the curse is a reddish orb that hovers at the edges of its aoe. Where the orb is is the edge of the summoned arena. The beasts attack me mostly but they will attack those fighting alongside me."

“So we could fight in the training grounds, but will the monsters use ranged attacks that can go outside the area and damage things?” Asta being extremely cautious with his questions. “I can have Twilight set up a barrier if need be.”

"Not really it takes a lot of energy to summon the one ranged beast available to it and it just manifested last week therefore it'll be melee attackers only but bring my sister anyway I have something for her," Ayumi said.

“Nero,” Asta called out and in flew his Howler companion as he went to his desk and wrote a quick note and placed it in the scroll holster on Nero’s back. “Go find Twilight and bring to the Training Grounds,” The bird nodded and flew out through an open window. “We’ll make our way to the Training Area there, and warning, one of my marefriends is pregnant and going through morning sickness.”

"No worries I promise I'll be able to hold it back for another 10 minutes at least but it'll hurt a lot," Ayumi said with a pained smile "but dying hurt even more."

“Aj, Shy, I’m going to the training area, summoned ai Displaced,” Asta called out.

“Just don’t cause too much of a hassle sugarcube,” Aj returned.

“By apples!” Shy demanded.

“Okay!” Asta turned to Ayumi. “Wanted a piggyback ride over there?”

"I have these for a reason." She said spreading her wings slightly "I'll be fine to fly the other thing I have lets me fly easily"

“After you, my lady,” Asta opened the front door allowing Ayumi to exit. “Fly,” Asta said and a quick blue outline came over him and his took to the skies. “Flow me!” Ayumi nodded and the duo headed for Waillen’s Training Complex arriving in no time at all. “This is where everyone trains, rather the want to join in my Knight or for self-defense.”

“Asta!” Came the voice of Twilight who was running to meet the Displaced. “What’s up?” She asked, huffing slightly. “Who are you?” Twilight looked at her other-self.

"Hello, little sis," Ayumi said with a chuckled while Twilight tilted her head which turned into a groan "as you can tell I'm you from another world. I'll explain more in a bit but after my curse subsides." She turned to Asta "can we begin now it's really starting to hurt!"

“Sure, Twi you can watch from the balcony,” Asta nodded as he and Ayumi walked to the center of the field while the unicorn went up to watch from above. “Ready when you are.”

"Thank you," Ayumi said as an orb of semisolid red energy with thin lines blasted out of her knocking her back and to the ground as a group of six bipedal reptilian beings wielding twin short swords appeared.

“Oh this is gonna be fun,” Asta smirked as his Grimoire floated up next to him and opened. Antimagic shot from the pages and wrapped itself around his forearms and hardened to reveal his heavy draconic claw gauntlets.

"You said it!" Ayumi said as she summoned a unique suit of armor and pulled her gunblades out of the either. "Let's make this quick!"

The six Pangolin warriors rushed the two of them as more groups of them spawned a barrier of dark magic forming naturally and a HUD appearing in front of both displaced. The HUD mainly showed their levels of health and magic with another red bar in the lower right corner showing the power of the curse and a boss health bar. One more important detail was the silver circle next to their health and magic bars Ayumi's having 20 small diamond-shaped gems filled on the outside and Asta's having the three blades of the anime each differently colored the demon destroyer black like his anti-magic the demon dweller the white and black of his ki/avatar energy and the Demon slayer the biggest by far the golden color of his soul and strength indicating his Shinigami/Physical abilities.

“How do you close this thing?” Asta swiped at the display.

"It'll disappear on its own except the boss bar!" Ayumi said as she slashed through a Pangolin which exploded in chi orbs which she absorbed. "The HUD only stays on for me. The boss bar tends to stay around for others to see when fighting the enemies of my world as a way to gauge progress!" She then summoned a unique rifle that she used to snipe the warrior that was about to break his blade on Asta's back. "I'll explain the HUD later just in case you use it again."

“Very well,” Asta huffed as he suddenly blipped away only to appear on the other side of the field with claws buried in the belly of one of the pangolins. He easily lifted the beast above his head and then threw it into one of the others destroying the heavily wounded one and badly damaging the other. He blipped back next to Ayumi. “Two down four to go.” He commented.

"Look again," she said pointing to the three dozen others the curse had spawned as the chi orbs from the defeated enemies flowed into her. "This is the first wave of three. Next will come the hounds then a combo of this wave and hounds. After that, we can spar and I'll give Twily her godhood and wings. But if you want I can speed this up a bit." As she said this she reequipped her gunblades this time using the shotguns in them to rapidly fire compressed rounds of kinetic energy at the hoard.

"And let you take the fun out of me blowing off some steam from last night," Asta evilly smiled as he shot off towards the other side of the field and laid into the forces before him. Asta brutally tore apart the monsters without mercy with his bare claws and fists. There was a concussive force with each blow the land that connected that resembled being inside a thunderclap.

"Oh I could just use the full power of the element of magic but I want to show you why I'm called a Goddess," Ayumi said as she began glowing red as her RAGE magic built up. "Besides time is on my side." She said critically as she appeared in two places at once.

"Time clones," Asta guessed as he crushed the head of another monster.

"Yeah they're good for suppressive fire and distractions," Ayumi said as she pulled out her rifle and fired a full clip into the group then paused as six exact clones appeared firing that same clip all at once. "But that's just a side benefit of one of my three main powers. I'm the goddess of three things dragons/Chaos/order, The Dark, and The Light. Those last two I inherited from two brothers who gave me their powers from artifacts they imbued with them. Think of them kind of like Celestia and Luna or more like Celestia and Nightmare Moon as the dark the younger brother was as his name implies someone of an evil character the curse comes from his artifact and it turned a friend of mine into a monster." As she explained this her gunblades reappeared and she coated them in lighting magic on one and anti-magic on the other. "The Dark gave me the ability to use Anti-magic alongside my RAGE magic."

"Your powers sound similar to my older brother's," Asta said as he dispelled his gauntlets and summoned the Demon Slayer Sword and started to cut through the monster with ease. "Though as far as I know, he doesn't have Anti-magic just magic suppression and Magic Nullification." He threw his hand up quickly summoning spears of rock from the ground piercing the enemy.

"The power of the element of magic at its full potential is something to behold I'm told," Ayumi said as she shot through the last group of the first wave the anti-magic and lightning imbued bullets tore through them. " I turn to Pure Energy and become one with the planning literally since Equus is a planet based on Magic I can do anything as long as I remain focused. The main drawback is the knowledge overload as I know everything about magic in that form so I don't use it too often. Each one of the elements has a similar state where they become what the elements represent and almost every single one of them has some flare to their energy form though Dash being my favorite of the others her energy form being rainbow lightning." Ayumi said as the Curse pulsed once before summoning a swarm of Pangos short two-legged reptiles with white eyes and largemouths. "I'm not saying that Twilly could reach that powerful form but it's not out of the realm of possibility due to the nature of magic and this planet."

"I recently had a Displaced that relied solely on his magic, he thought he was hot stuff," Asta Summoned his Demon Dweller sword and sent a slash of Anti-magic at the monsters. "Until his magic didn't work in my Anti-Mana Zone. He ended up partially releasing some of his real power to try and get back in the fight. Some sort of seal put a stop to it but even if it hadn't I still would've overpowered him. The more magic my opponent has the more powerful I become when my Zone is active. I have magic but I rarely ever use it due to the strain it puts on my body or the side effects it would have, " he ran his sword through a Pago's skull.

"I'm not sure how that is relevant to the conversation." Ayumi said "the whole becoming energy thing is just that energy not magic itself energy otherwise I would have been eaten by Tirek" as she said this that same pattern appeared on her for this time glowing golden as she sped up her attacks and both her blades got covered in light magic. "If you mean don't rely purely on my magic I don't, I never did. Unlike other versions of myself when I became Celestia's student I went through royal guard training with stuff that only shining and other officers went through did teach me how to deal with meetings in the political field and I went through intense combat training with the Equestrian Special Forces S.M.I.L.E. one of their grueling courses is pure physical combat with magic nullification for unicorns, pegasi, and Earth ponies through null stone shackles and Horn rings." While explaining this Ayumi began teleporting around rapidly slicing through the Pangos and building up speed. "It's thanks to that training that I'm as strong as Applejack is currently without my magic. Maybe you should invest in some pure strength training for your forces as well as magic that reinforces every part of the body in equestrian peoples. Having them train while you're using your anti-Mana Zone should do the trick instead of having to use the shackles or horn rings. Less painful too as the shackles rub raw quickly." After her final teleport, she used her built-up momentum to throw her gunblades through the last two Pangos and into the Barrier before they vanished reappearing in her hands.

"Trust me when I say I've already done that," Asta agreed as he kicked a Pango sending it rocketing across into the others. "Strike! My Knights can handle themselves in a fight well enough without magic now. As for the relevance I manipulate my Anti-magic through Qi techniques."

"Well my Ki is tied to my magic but I can use on it its own for dbz attacks." As she said that she fired a ball of Ki at the Curse which dodged it.

“My techniques are all self-made By yours truly, more advanced forms of the ones from Black Clover but they’re not for fighting but healing and control instead,” Asta explained while cutting down another Pango, “Last time we started to get a leg up on these things another wave hit and seeing as we still have a boss bar,” Asta looked around. “ That means we should be coming up on our big bad guy soon.”

"That's right!" A male voice said as Asta was sucker-punched into the barrier. "Ayumi it's nice to see you!" The voice said as a figure that looked to be a cross of a Pangolin and human materialized from the outstretched fist.

"No! Not again!" Ayumi screamed as Dark Jay the man the curse had twisted into a monster stepped forward getting ready to attack the lavender Anthro Alicorn. "How?!"

"The Curse made me once it can easily recreate me!" As he said this Dark Jay reared his fist back the power of the Curse increasing his already massive strength and speed. "I'll always return my dear. It just takes time and Chi!"

Dark Jay threw his punch forward but instead of hitting Ayumi, it collided with Asta’s palm sending a loud shockwave outwards. “Have to admit you got me good with that sucker punch,” Asta glared with a smirk at the evil manifestation while blood ran down the right side of his face. “It would’ve killed any normal human and broken regular heroes,” Asta closed his fingers around Dark Jay’s fist digging his nails into the demon's flesh. “Normally I hate underhandedness, but I just to return the favor you did me,” He said pulling Dark Jay forward while balling his right fist up and throwing it into the evil one gut rocketing him across the field in a spiral into the barrier on the opposite side.

“Damn!” Asta relented with a hiss as he shook his hand. “That was way worse than that time I punched Ed in the face, and he didn’t even flinch let alone go flying across the damn room.” He looked at Ayumi and said, “You okay?”

Ayumi stood there horrified at the revelation the curse was using her each orb of chi she absorbed as fuel for it. "No, I'm not I was the fuel for it! I'm Pissed!"

Twilight dropped down to the ground near us. "Asta! You're bleeding!" She shouted, "Are you ok?"

Her action didn't go unnoticed as Dark Jay stood up looking at Twilight. "Who is this Ayumi? Your twin sister?" He raced forward his fist raised to smash through the barrier. "Watch as I take her away from you!"

In a flash of light, Ayumi appeared in front of Twilight her gunblades raised in the shape of an X blocking Jay's fist. "Want to know something, you bastard! It's been 30 years and two worlds since I last fought you and my strength has grown so much in that time I learned to harness the Godly power of The Twin Lion brothers The Light and The Dark gained the powers of order chaos and the dragons of another world and unlocked the full power of my RAGE. I've gained more family through the friends I made along the way and now you threaten one of my sisters when I'm already pissed off! You're not even worthy of my pity yet I'm going to give you my all! Activate MIDNIGHT NOVA!"

In a flash of burning silver light engulfed Ayumi as her wings burned away along with her skin temporarily making her into a corpse an unsettling look and then a new draconic skin formed as her mane split into three ponytails and her body began glowing silver as new wings of silver energy resembling a dragon's formed from her back. "This is my everything and no matter what I'm going to protect my family from you!" With this declaration, Ayumi raised her high heel like foot and kicked the manifested replacement of the dear friend turned demon into the barrier on the opposite side of Twilight. "So die just like before!"

In the Telltale flashing equestrian teleportation, Ayumi appeared in front of Dark Jay her blades stabbed through his torso silver fire burning through him. "And this time never come back! DRACONIS UNLEASHED!!!" The silver fire poured through the disintegrating manifestation curved upwards into the sky as the barrier broke the Curse returning to Ayumi's body as she collapsed to her knees the transformation reverting in a flash of purple.

"Twilight!" Asta called out as he rushed to his girlfriend. "Are you okay? That thing didn't hurt you did it?"

Twilight looked at him a have a warm smirk. "Yeah I'm okay, he never touched me thanks to Ayumi," Her eyes drifted to her counterpart and she walked over. "Thank You, will you be alright? You're both hurt, are you? That was a lot of magic power you used up all at once."

"No my armor heals me," Ayumi said smiling "in fact you and the others will get a copy of this armor as a gift." Ayumi placed her hand on Asta's shoulder as a green glow passed from her to him healing him and a male version of her armor appeared on his body. "It's called my feel-good outfit for a reason." Ayumi turned to her doppelganger. "Now then Twily I have something for you and you only."

"Really?" Twilight's eyes lit up. "Is it some form of a new magic?" Asta chuckled slightly. " What?" She pouted, puffing up her cheeks.

"You'll see Twi," he gave a slight push on the back over to Ayumi. "Do your thing."

Ayumi plunged her hand into her chest and pulled out an orb with her and Twilight's Cutiemark embossed onto it. "Take it, little sis." She said as she held the orb out to Twilight.

"Um… I-i don't think I-I should," Twilight hesitantly shied away from before Her back met Asta's chest. Twilight looked at her boyfriend. "What is that?"

"It's your future if you want it Twi," Asta placed a hand on her head and kissed her forehead. "I won't force anything on you at all and I'll always have your back, but this is something you have to choose on your own."

Taking a deep breath in and calming herself for a moment. Twilight opened her eyes with renewed vigor and Determination. "Alright here I go," she said reaching out and touching the orb.

Twilight disappeared for a moment in a ball of light a silhouette of two anthro lions appeared on both sides of the ord their paw-like hands outstretched to it yellow energy coming in from the yellow silhouette purple coming from the other. The energy from both wrapped around the orb as the Silhouettes drained into it. The orb shone so brightly that only Celestia or Ayumi could look directly into it without going blind. The orb exploded a massive shockwave which knocked both Ayumi and Asta off their feet as Twilight's grimoire appeared the Clover on the front suddenly sprouting two more leaves creating one of the only six-leaf clover grimoires in existence as Twilight floated back down to the ground looking taller in having wings denoting her godhood.

"So that's how it looks on the outside," Ayumi said as she stood back up while helping Asta. " I mean I knew that she would gain powers similar to my own but I didn't think they would show up and impart some of their own power into her. She's more like me than I thought."

"You're talking about the two lion deities that represent the light and dark right?" Asta asked. "The ones you mentioned in the fight," He went over and picked Twilight's Grimoire up and gave a look over. "This is certainly something I've never heard over before," Asta held up the book tapping it to show the six-leaf clover.

Twilight was frozen in place as she looked at her back, "I have wings… wings…" Taking a few minutes to process things a little longer she fell over from shock and was caught to be Asta as he rushed to her side. " Asta… I'm... an alicorn."

"Yes you are Twi, but that doesn't mean you're not still Twilight Sparkle," Asta smirked as he held her close. "You're still you, now you're just more you than before, my princess."

"You mean her holiness," Ayumi said a small smirk on her face. "Welcome to godhood little sis you rank above an alicorn in truth we're on the level of Dad now." Ayumi passed her gunblades over to Twilight "these are yours now" Two new gunblades appeared alongside 12 sets of the feel-good outfit on the ground Ayumi picking up the gunblades. "Always loved how my token is like Thor's hammer or a Keyblade."

Asta set Twilight down, "Wait, your token can be a weapon too?"

"You think those gunblades are just representations in that necklace. You can separate them and they become the actual gunblades it's similar to How Thor's hammer necklace is actually a copy of the necklace that Thor would carry his hammer on in Norse mythology. I'm pretty sure you'd have a copy of Mjolnir yourself in your book if you can figure out how to summon it." Ayumi said with a smile as she crossed her weapons and placed them at her neck wherein a flash of light they shrank and transformed into the crystals that made up the necklace that Asta found the day before. "See"

"Yea that'll definitely come in handy," Asta smirked as he looked the necklace over. "It'll give my elites an edge above others. I only plan on have my top knights us your gifts Ayumi. Thank you." He looked to his Grimoire. "Would you like your own Grimoire?"

"Sure but I suggest giving the armor to the Six Mom and aunty Trixie Sunset if she shows up Gilda Starlight Chrysalis if Sunset isn't an option-" three more sets appeared with a note attached to the top one "oh I forgot Cady and Gleaming! By the way, more of these things might show up since they tend to appear for those who need it. It's kind of funny since the first set the one I'm wearing was made by Vulcan same with my gunblades so I get a discount on his bulk stock that offends out into the Multiverse."
