It had been a few days since Edward had remodeled Waillen. The Crimson sage had made the town into a city using his alchemy. The wall Asta had made reinforced along with two more outer walls creating an easy separation between the inner city, the expansion that the townsfolk had started, and the large amount of farmland created inside the first wall. Roads of the same crystal were formed in each cardinal direction with crystal gates and portcullis appearing to allow for travelers to pass through each wall. Buildings and homes were formed in the first to rings and the farmland in the third. All watched over by a castle in the center of it all.

"Ed outdid himself on this!" Ayumi said from the balcony of said castle looking over the additions Asta's brother had created. "Though I'll admit I didn't think he would create a smaller version of the Clover capital from the manga."

“My brother was always the bigger cosplayer out of the two of us so it doesn’t surprise me in the slightest,” Asta looked around his new city from his new homestead, “I wasn’t expecting an Eastern style palace house either. We will need the room now that Twi decided to move in and with the baby on the way.”

“That was the whole point of the remodel,” Ed said as he appeared out of nowhere. “I also connected the Equestrian train lines here. I would stay with you two but I need to go. I have another place to be and it can’t wait for much longer Ayumi, I have a gift for before I leave.” He turned to the young goddess.

"Yeah? I'll take anything you’re willing to give." Ayumi said with a small smile on her face. "What is it?"

A cloud of metal came from Ed’s arm and formed into a Chibi Ed, something Asta had seen his older brother do once before. “This is a chibi-Ed. He’s an artificial lifeform composed of a colony of nanites. He has access to the void Network and can create just about any material in small quantities from absorbing the dust in the air as well as replicate any machine modern to stone. One scan is all it takes,” He explained. “These are Harmony nanites meaning they were charged with harmony magic, aka Friendship. They’re immune to tampering via any form of magic or technology outside me. If you wish for him to change into another form he can and he can hook into any machine you have. Take care of him,” Edward held out his hand and the chibi walked onto it giving Ayumi a bow.

"Thank you for the chibi!" Ayumi said as she hugged the smaller and cuter version of Edward. "Flutters is going to flip when she sees you if Christy and Nata don’t first. So what now? Are you heading home?"

“I thought you were gonna stay for the coronation and our match,” Asta said disappointingly. “You can’t stay just a little longer?”

“I have my own Twilight’s coronation to get to, plus the announcement that Tia and I are expecting,” Ed shook his head and motioned with his artificial hand. “The only reason I was here so soon was thanks to my train. I’d have had to walk here if not for it. I also have a third princess that I haven’t spent time with in over… ah… two thousand years…” He scratching his chin. “Roughly over that. We all have our own lives to live Asta. You and I are no different in that way, Gar has just learned that for himself too. You should summon him and catch after he’s healed up.”

“What happened to him?” Asta quickly asked.

“Pushed himself way too far to destroy a demon in a fit of rage,” Ed shrugged. “‘I did what I should and nothing more. I'll be watching you, Asta, and you to Ayumi," Ayumi felt a sense of warmth in her heart at that comment. "Don’t be afraid to come and see me when you have a problem, okay,” He handed Ayumi his token and a red key. “The watch can call me and the key can open a portal to wherever I am in my world. I know the twins and Nyx would love to meet you as well as Tia and Luna and our other family members in the Crimson Knights. You’ll keep in touch I hope.”

"I'd love to meet them, so sure when I get back to my world I'll give you a call and I might drop in one day soon," Ayumi said, still cuddling the Chibi. "Till then!"

“Take care,” Ed rubbed her head and hugged Asta’s neck. “Later,” He smirked as he jumped into the air to land aboard the Crimson Streak as it sped by roaring through the air at top speed. A dimensional gate opened and the train sped through it with a loud whistle then shut once more.

After waving for a good minute Asta turned to Ayumi, “Have to ask if you see Ed as your uncle then what about me?” He smirked.

"Brother-in-law," Ayumi said. "The only reason I call Ed Uncle instead of big brother is because he's so much older than me. I feel it would be disrespectful to his Elder status to call him just Big Brother. Plus the whole divinity thing allows for God's to be uncles and brothers thing is kind of something I'm using as well. I also don't want to bring up any potential flashbacks to the Chimera incident in Edward's Story by calling him Big Brother Edward." Ayumi shivered from the memory. "After learning what he went through with Alphonse in his memories of that I don't want to bring up anything else that could be considered bad."

“My big brother is a nice guy and he knows he can’t face everything alone but that doesn’t stop him from trying,” Asta sighed. “Honestly I still wonder how he’s remained in the right state of mind after fifteen thousand years. He’s done some miraculous things from some of the stories I’ve heard from our extended family, so much so that this entire city-scale remodel is nothing. I mean he’s given our niece her own body when she originally was just a split personality. Crazy sounding isn’t it?”

"Nightmare or Midnight?" Ayumi asked "Cause on my Equiss Nightmare is my second mother. I kinda simplified the story since Luna was in the driver's seat of their body at the time. Discord then just send Luna forward in time but his magic fuse Luna and Selene Di Amore or now called Nightmare into one being in their fight against him and caused me to be born from the excess mass and magic while sending the fused from forward in time to place the seeds of my rebirth in the modern era." Ayumi explained, "that second part was something I learned recently as I had wondered how Night Light and Mama Velvet were able to recreate the unique genetics that brought me into being as neither of them were related close enough to Luna to make it possible."

“This is plausible,” The chibi chimed in. “In many realities, Twilight Sparkle is a direct descendant of Either Luna or Nightmare Moon from what I've heard in passing or from my family via void calls. It’s usually theorized as the main reason why Celestia kept her close by. As for the aforementioned nieces Asta spoke of, they are Displaced that went through a rather hard time in life. Unfortunately due to a mistake in a mock battle that led to Ed’s internal demon taking over his body and trying to devour their souls they ended up in the state where many bad things happened, the sisters didn’t get out unscathed as Malice was able to take pieces of their souls, though their older sister did retrieve them by making deal with the demon.” the mini continued. “As for the process that you referred to, Edward has performed it successfully to other times, one on another displaced and the other on a demon by the name of Sparda.”

“Just what kind of power does he have?” Asta looked at the chibi awestruck.

“Unknown to me, this is information he only shares personally,” Chibi deadpanned with a smirk.

"Well, then I guess we should check on the train station," Ayumi said as she hugged the chibi-Ed again. "Mom and aunt Tia said they would send a train to us sometime soon since they needed to plan Twily's coronation out and let the rest of the major friendly countries know that there's a couple of new princesses in Equestria. I still don't get why they're saying that I should be included in the introductions. I mean yes I gave her her wings but Celestia had planned on doing that anyway I just sped up the process and removed all the complicated shit that was going to happen with it. Plus I'm just visiting so I'll not be around all the time."

“Technically, you’re still foreign dignitary,” Asta explained. “Though you’re from another world you're still royalty and have ties to Equestria, you are identical to Twilight upon first glances so they’ll probably claim you as a distant relative and still technically one-hundred percent true. Now let’s get down to the station as the train should be arriving just as we get there unless you wanna keep smothering the chibi with your chest,” He smirked.

“I’m good with either option,” Chibi cut in.

"They call the boob pocket the first bank for a reason," Ayumi said with a devilish grin "your elder brother just gave me a ridiculously powerful matter converter. That's where he's going to stay until I get home! Till then I'm happy to see you try to take him." As she said this Ayumi let off the balcony and spread her wings to fly. "Fair warning though I'm pretty sure Eddy here will bite!" She shouted.

“Yea as exciting as it would be to feel you up I’m gonna give it a hard pass,” Asta threw his hands up in n ‘X’. “The girls would kill me, especially Shy being so volatile. As cute as the little guy is I’d rather not have one of him lurking around. Ed already keeps a close enough watch on me as is, I don’t want him lurking around my house, no offense little guy.”

“None taken,” Chibi shrugged and then looked up to Ayumi. “So I guess I get a booby ride then?”

"Yep," Ayumi said, smiling down at the little guy. "Plus as much as I would like to use your abilities right now I'm not going to do so when I'm in another world unless necessary since I have other ways of getting materials I might need." Turning to Asta she shouted, "You coming, or do you just want to walk?"

"Why to walk, fly our teleport when you can have some fun and parkour," Asta suggested. " Fresh city roofs and plenty of jumping space, not to mention the train is a good twenty minutes out of the station."

"Sounds like fun!" Ayumi said clapping her hands together as a ringing noise was heard and blue sparks emanated from her hands as she used her alchemy to reshape her clothing from her dress back into her armor. "Heh... forgot to tell Ed about my Displacer, a kinda nice version of Truth. In exchange for the displacement and some basic knowledge of circle-less FMA alchemy, he took some minor mental and physical attributes and limiters. He still gives me stuff every now and again thanks to the fact that I made him laugh. Later on, he warned me that most versions of him don't like to laugh that's why I gave Ed the advice I did." As she said this she landed on one of the rooftops closest to the castle.

Asta jumped up and then jumped off the air in mid-jump to shoot across landing next his guest, "It doesn't matter what you tell him, Ed hates Truth, no matter the iteration. He can't stand to be around it, especially his own." The pair went onto the next housetop. "According to him his Truth is a sick collector of some sort, but that's what he said."

"I can attest to my larger counterpart's justified hate of the being known as Truth," Chibi chimed in from his spot, which he seemed to thoroughly be enjoying. "He keeps as much distance between it and anything to do with it at all times, not even allowing Twilight to even remotely study anything that might lead her to it."

"I completely understand, I was really lucky with the version I met," Ayumi said as she began sprinting across the roof. "The fact is I'm not sure if my version is all that nice as well that is why I say kinda. I probably caught him on a good moment and he likes me enough to not try to take anything else." As she reached the edge of the roof she kept off and with a flip and twist landed on the next one. "I teach alchemy on my world and I refuse to teach anything other than basic conversion. Though I learned recently that intent is part of the way to avoid meeting Truth. For example, if someone wants to recreate a body for a funeral they won't be taxed with human transmutation but they are trying to recreate a life they will. The reason I decided to even test this out was because of Roy Mustang creating a human-like cadaver out of pork bodies in canon. As long as you don't intend to create a soul you can create a human body."

Asta pulled a quick tuck and roll then kicked off to the next rooftop, "Yea not gonna pretend I have any stock in that smarts depot Ayumi. Ed gave me alchemy and its knowledge when we first met up again but I've never used It once. Nor do I intend to," Asta looked out, "Train will be here now." He said as the trio landed at the station, "Oh, so that's what they meant by being prepared for a full house. Some ponies you wanted to see too," Asta laughed as he read the Qi in the train.

The train pulled into the new Station with a slow screeching halt. As soon as it was at a full stop the doors opened and out flooded the entire populace of the Crystal Empire. The ponies grabbed and hoisted them above their heads and threw him up and down.

"I see they're as happy as ever to see him," Came the voice of Shining Armor.

"Honestly I didn't know my Aunties had a train that would fit all our citizens," Cadence said with a sigh of relief. "It was still a tight fit though," She turned her attention to Ayumi. "My they were right, at first glance you look just like Twilight but I must add, you have better assets than she does."

"Caddy, do you have to point out something like that with me right here?" Shining slapped himself in the face then turned to Ayumi. "So you're Twily from another world?"

"I'm not only from another world but I'm also your big sister if talking about both of my lives," Ayumi said with a smirk. "The reason I have such developed "assets" as Cadence said is because I've been in Alicorn longer than your Twilight she'll grow into her own assets. Hell, she'll actually be as big as Celestia! In fact, I could get to that size now I just don't want to."

Shining slapped his face again, "I really didn't need to know that last part," He sighs.

"Somepony tell them to put me down!" Asta yelled.

"Nothing we can do at the moment," Cadence chuckled. "Would you mind showing us to the others, please? Asta will be," She tiled to see the mosh pit. "Occupied until they get tired or he runs away somehow. Oh, what is your name, sorry for the late ask."

"No worries sis," Ayumi said "I understand that while I'm Twilight to my world and it can get confusing when I'm on others so I chose a name based on something I really liked. Call me Ayumi."

Sometime later in the Clover Castle...

"I can't believe you left me," Asta pouted with his arms crossed as he grumbled.

"Oh Hush," Fluttershy rolled her eyes. "You're their hero and they haven't seen you in months and your reputation precedes you! Let them bask and celebrate."

"Is it just me or is Fluttershy a little harsher and forthcoming than she used to be," Shining raised an eyebrow. "I thought she and Asta were in love?" He turns to Cadence.

"Oh they are," Cadence giggled. "Even more so now than we last saw them. Applejack and Twilight both love him just as much but Fluttershy is… Well her emotional spectrum is all over the place but she is still deeply in love with Asta. As for the way she's acting... there is really only one reason that comes to mind for it, the word being… Baby." She looked over at Twilight's friends.

"You guessed it princess," Rainbow gave a thumbs up.

"Oh congrats, How far along is she?" Cadence clapped while jumping up and down like a school filly.

"Goin into the first week of her fourth month now," Aj nodded with a smirk. "Heck, Ah'm kinda jealous of her at the moment." She blushed, pulling her hat over her eyes. "But it's to be expected with her beenin head mare and all.”

"So Cadence, have you talked with your mother?" Ayumi asked from the other room. "From my research, both she and your father are still around. And they probably want to meet the rest of the family for this."

“What do you mean Ayumi? I speak with my parents every other day via a crystal phone,” Cadence tilted her head in confusion. “It’s not hard, but I do wish I could see them more but Cloudsdale is pretty far away and I have an entire Empire to look after. Shining and I can’t just drop everything and go see them. I do miss seeing them and have tried to get them to move to the Empire but they're adamant about staying in Cloudsdale,” She sighed then smiled. “ They like their lives as working ponies. I'm proud to be their daughter. My father actually works directly with Fluttershy’s mother as her assistant director. My mother is the lightning Manager at the Weather factory. They and Shiny’s parents actually have lunch from time to time. They’re well aware of our entire family. But why are you asking if I ever talk to them?”

"So you weren't adopted by earth ponies and lived in an out-of-the way Village in this world." Ayumi said surprised "Huh that's a very rare occurrence"

“Why would I be adopted by earth ponies?” She tilted her head.

“Excuse me for a moment,” Amore came over. “I think she is referring to how you were raised in her world dear. I found out from Asta’s older brother while he was here that in many worlds you are theorized to be my daughter in some way or actually are my daughter. But most worlds have you as my descendant," She turned to Ayumi. “Is that what you were getting at dear?”

"Yes, and No my lady," Ayumi said. "Selene Di Amore is Cadance's biological Aunt in my world. We still have yet to learn if you were her mother there. But in the Main timeline/world of Equestria Cadance was found on the edge of an earth pony village and adopted by two earth ponies. She gained her horn by using her innate love magic to beat a unicorn named Prisma who through an unknown artifact most likely of changeling origin was destroying the love lives of the village and almost made Cadance's adopted parents run her out of the village."

“That’s horrible,” the princesses said in unison.

“If I may interject,” Came the voice of the chibi still stuck in Ayumi's booby pocket.

The two crystal princesses looked down and immediately cued. “Awww… he's so cute!” Cadence poked his little face.

“Where did you get him?” Amore giggled as looked over the chibi.

"Ed," Ayumi said simply, "He's a matter converter in cute form!"

“If I may get back to my interjection,” the mini annoyedly waved off Cadence’s finger. “An easy way to find out if the Cadence is indeed Amore’s daughter in your world is to compare their DNA. Though you don’t have access to Amore in your world you do have access to her here.”

“I’m afraid I don’t follow cutie pie,” Amore booped his nose.

Eddy glared as he held his head in his hand and propped his elbow against Ayumi’s boob and rubbed his nose with his other hand. “Even if it’s across the world you’re still technically the same ponies at the core derived from the key source and sense you're basically both in human forms so your DNA would be nearly identical to one another. All Ayumi needs to do is get a few hairs from you to compare with a sample of her Cadence’s DNA. If she is indeed Amore’s daughter in Ayumi world then their DNA sequences should be a fifty percent match or greater in all parent-child cases. The only way it wouldn’t, would be if she is a direct descendant but even then there would be a large gap in the genetic map.”

"We'll do that later Eddy," Ayumi said, "We should refrain from messing with Family till I leave okay? Right now we should all help the two newcomers to the Royalty get ready for their crowns. Speaking of which, where is Rarity? She should have the ceremony robes ready by now but both she and her sister aren't here."

“She came and grabbed Asta while you three were talking about the bay, Eddy, and DNA,” Pinkie popped up behind Ayumi. “Something about how his style needs a last-minute touch up, and she left these for you girls,” She gave them all packages. “One more thing,” Pinkie popped her finger up. “All Black Bull Magic Knights are to be in their robes in some form, orders from Spike. Tootles,” she popped into confetti and blew away.

"Welp," Ayumi said as she picked up her outfit. "At least it'll fit. Still don't know what she made me."

“Knowin Rarity as well as Ah do, that dress should fight ya like a glove, even with the extra assets,” Aj smirked.

"Oh, I hope not," Ayumi said, a worried frown appearing on her face. "My nipples are pierced with a special type of enchanted metal no one needs to see them. That's why I insisted on her measuring me with my undersuit on."

“She already told me about them things and made sure that they won’t poke through,” Aj rolled her eyes. “Ya sure are weird when it comes to stuff. Ah can understand the pericins but why the enchanted as percins? Uh… never mind, there’s plenty of room for ya in the dress to not wear that undersuit. If ya do Rarity will ring mah neck. There’s padding and comfort enchantments on the boulder holders.”

“Dear, best not argue with the fashionista and her work,” Amore bent over. “I really don’t want this day to run a course of ruin. Just wear the dress please.”

"As I told Shining I could grow as big as Celestia," Ayumi said as she slipped on the outfit. "My piercings are a form of enchanted metal made through changeling magic that keeps me at this size without strain on my magic."

"LALALALA! Not listening!" Shining childishly remarked as put his fingers in his ears causing Cadence to roll her eyes.

“Why would you not want to grow?” Cadence asked as she slipped into her own dress. “You certainly have the figure to impress. And from what I heard you draw quite the crowd and have a wife in Chrysalis no less. When I saw her here she had bigger breasts than Auntie. Not as big as Granny’s though,” she turned to Amore who looked down at her boobs.

“I can’t help that they're big,” Amore turned red in the face. “Asta never complains.”

“That's cause ya never give him the chance to complain,” Aj deadpanned with half-lidded eyes. “Though ya do have a nice set and Ah’m not against ya join the herd either.”

“I like Asta as a friend Aj nothing more,” Amore shook her head. “Maybe down the road if I do develop feelings for him, but I’m not against sharing a bed with either of you girls and him either.”

“Uh…” Aj turned red as her apple crop.

"Two reasons," Ayumi interjected. "The cost of clothing is too much for me to feel comfortable paying. The second is that none of my friends or parents are as tall as me in that form yet. Plus I want to be 'mom's little filly' a while longer."

“All valid reasons,” Came Rarity's voice as she walked in with the other girls in their dresses except Twilight and Fluttershy. “Are we all ready to go?”

“Where’s Shy and Twi?” Rd asked looking around.

“They're waiting from where Asta will come down, and that’s where you should be as well Ms. Apple,” Luna scolded the farmer slightly, showing off the curves of her body with her dress. “I will be right back,” she said Blinking away with Aj and then back again.

“Why are they with Asta?” Rainbow raised a brow.

“One, they’re all in his herd. Two, this is also Twilight’s coronation as well, and three,” Celestia counted off. “Fluttershy is carrying Asta’s child.”

“Rainbow and Pinkie,” Rarity called the two to her. “I have these rings for you both.”

“Why do you have those Rarity?” Rainbow slightly pulled back.

Rarity rolled her eyes, “Just put it on Dash,” She tossed it to the pegasus, and on the ring was a symbol the prismatic knight recognized very well. It was a simple silver band with the Black Bull’s emblem on in the center and what appeared to be Asta’s swords on either side of the emblem. “Asta wanted the knights to wear something that marked us as his elite knights but at the same time, he didn’t want us to wear anything that would clash so he and I came up with these enchanted rings. They’re enchanted with a one size fits all. They can also add our emblems on our clothing in some minor form when we’re in our street clothes, yuck I hate those words.” Rarity stuck out her tongue. “The emblems will be white like the one on the back of Asta’s haori. They will also only work for us and reject anypony that doesn’t have our permission to wear them.”

“Neato.” Pinkie said as she played with her ring having taken it from Rarity without the fashionista noticing.

"Mom you look good," Ayumi said as she inspected the dress that Rarity had crafted for the moon princess causing her to blush. "Rarity you really made us all beautiful in these clothes. Normally I'm like Rainbow Dash with my outfits sporty and functional but I'll always wear whatever you make for me on matter the world." She said while turning to the mare. "Thank you."

"Thank you Ayumi," Luna gave a nod.

"Think nothing of it darling I was all too happy to make them," Rarity waved it off. "Pinkie Pie, stop playing with the ring Dear, we have things we must attend to. We need to get out before the crowd does, it will be time for the crowning soon."

"Okie Dokie Lokie!" Pinkie happily saluted and bounced along.

The group headed out to the main balcony where a podium and curtains had been set up in preparation for the event. "Let's go over the schedule one Last time," Ayumi said as she began pacing close to the curtain. "I'm sure I'm not the only one who needs a refresher."

"Ayumi we don't have time for that," Rainbow said. "The opening is supposed to start in like five minutes and we're not in our seats yet, and I might add, they're down there in front of the castle and not up here on the balcony."

"Asta is gonna come in flying on Ymir land on the wall, go in meet up with his herd mates, come with all of them walk down the big red carpet with awesome music played by the locals, introductions go on then he receives the special crowns for him Fluttershy, Aj, and Twilight and sword the council have and take his oath," Pinkie went through the list. "Then Princess Celestia and Princess Luna do Twilight. We good now?! Everypony Happy?!" She jumped up freaking while waving her arms frantically before landing cutely on her feet. " I feel better!" She giggled.

"The reason we're on the balcony is so I can do this!" Ayumi said as she began levitating the others down to their seats in a courtyard without using her magic. "This is a lesson my student. Ki can be used for more than just flight enhancing defense and flashy attacks. Its power can be used to levitate objects as big as a mountain or all of us without the use of magic. One day you'll learn how to do this as well Dashie. This is just a demonstration of how versatile Ki can be when using it in the right circumstances."

The group landed in their seats, their dresses completely pristine. "Plus I didn't want to ruin Rarity's work by using Magic on our dresses knowing that certain objects in your outfits are enchanted."

“It should be any second now,” Rainbow said as her eyes were glued to the horizon.

Not long A figure appeared and came closer. Soon Ymir could be seen flying through the skies with Asta on her back. The young dragoness proudly flapped showing off her obsidian and crimson color awing the crowd Asta rode with her new saddle that Rarity had made for them. They flew above the palace and hovered in the air for a bit. Then Ymir let out a loud roar and breathed a crimson flame before flying to the wall and hovering over top of it. From the group they saw Asta briefly jump off his dragon partner landing in the 'Superman Pose' and slowly stood up and threw his cape-coat off his side allowing it to blow in the wind. Ymir then flew over to the palace and landed atop it and looked over the crowd. Asta walked over to a set of Black Bull Knights and then they entered the nearby door.

A few minutes passed and the door at the wall started to open. As they did it revealed Asta in the front with the girls just behind him. Fluttershy was on his right, Aj on his left, and Twilight in between them.

The band immediately started to play music as they all walked out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPSFBS2b4lc

"Not bad," Ayumi said with a smirk. "8 out of 10. The dismount could have been smoother and back in black could have played but then again that's Cliché, your Majesty."

Asta was weaning a slim-cut white button-down dress shirt with a V-cut wine-colored vest, black dress pants, and black wingtip shoes. Over top of this, he wore a long flowing black trench coat. His hair was slicked and tied back in a ponytail and he was missing his iconic headband. Twilight was wearing a gown the somewhat resembled an aura from the Far Frozen North. Aj sported a long flowing forest green gown while Fluttershy wore a mint green gown.

The four made their way to the courtyard in front of the main assembly just as the music seized playing.

“I do believe that is our cue,” Lead Councilman Tinder Roots stepped forward followed by a young caribou woman with a black metal crown and a sword on a red pillow.

"That's the crown?" Ayumi whispered to Luna. "kinda looks like your tiara what with the black material and all but also like an olden wizard's staff topper.".”

“Trust me Ayumi,” Celestia whispered, “that isn’t iron but black magi-steel,” she explained. “It’s one of Savannah's highest coveted resources. In no other place in this world can you find it other than these plains and even here it’s very scarce. Only extremely high-ranking nobles that were on par with the former king had access to the funding needed to get it and that’s just to obtain this variant of the magi-steel. Something about the land here causes its coloring and properties. Once it's refined and forged properly it can’t be undone from whatever shape it's in. If the steel is forged into a weapon it has the ability to evolve with its owner as they grow stronger. I suspect that is also what the sword is made of, to think they had so much is very surprising.”

"My gunblades are made of a similar material white magititanium. Vulcan told me it gives the weapons their ability to change shape and channel any energy I may have." Ayumi whispered to Celestia. "I betcha ten to one the moment he holds that blade it becomes a new anti-magic weapon since his grimoire is based on sword magic and the Demon within it uses anti-magic." 'Lebe better be happy I know what he is' she thought to herself as she watched the ceremony.

“Sir your sword,” Tinder said, causing Asta’s gaze to shift to the rather plain sword in its sheath.

Taking the sword from the pillow everypony eagerly awaited to see what would happen. Holding the weapon by the sheath Asta took hold of the hilt and drew the sword holding it out it flashed in a golden shined from the sword as is changed from a solid black to have a bright mirror-like a silver blade with a gold embellishment the rain from the hilt to a fourth of the way up the blade. The hilt black and gold with a slightly upward curved crossguard with two red gems at their end. Two more red gems in the shape of diamonds adorned the hilt in between the handle and the blade. The actual handle was a golden woven metal the led into a black pommel with another large red gem on the base.

“I, Asta Ferris, do hereby swear upon this blade and on my life to lead this kingdom in to prosper and to protect my people from whatever enemies that may come. I will be there to strike them down and none shall claim this land from me!” Asta swore as he held the weapon above his head. A golden and red aura surrounded the sword and then erupted from the blade as a massive dragon into the sky and gradually died down. Everything remained in a dead-calm.

“My king, your crown,” Tinder said quietly. Asta took a knee kneeling down and Tinder Root placed the crown black five-skied crown on Asta’s head. . “All hail King Asta Ferris, King of the Block Clover Empire!” Tinder yelled as Asta then rose and the crowd burst into a fanfare of cheers.

"All hail the Black King and his Immortal Reign!" Ayumi shouted 'I'll have to figure out how to help his herd become fully immortal sometime.' She thought That's a project for home though my lab might have something for that. Maybe a mix of controlled DeadPool healing and a Harry Potter version of the elixir of life will work.'

“Wow,” Luna said in amazement. “I’ve… never seen anything like that before.”

“Indeed,” Celestia nodded slowly. “But we can admire later, we have our own crown to bestow after Fluttershy, Applejack, and Twilight receive theirs from Tinder Root marking them as Asta’s herdmates.”

One by one the mares of Asta’s herd were each crowned with their own unique black crowns. Once the crowd had died down from either cheer or shock, Asta and the group then stepped back and allowed Celestia and Luna to come up.

Celestia and Luna both stepped forward and Twilight followed behind them. “Everyone, we have gathered here on this glorious day to commemorate the crowing of not just Asta Ferris The Black King but also one of the mares he has entered into a relationship with,” The sisters each took a side step and Twilight stepped up and stood beside them both. “We are here to crown Equestria’s newest Princess.” A group of guards steps out with escorting the crown holding Element of Magic. Twilight knelt down with a curtsy. Celestia and Luna each took a side of the crown and placed it on Twilight’s head and she stood up and looked over the crowd.

“We now present Princess Twilight Sparkle, The Princess of Friendship!” Luna called out in the royal Canterlot voice. The crowd applauded.

Twilight then walked up and took a breath and looked out waiting for the crowd to grow silent again. “I know I have a lot of responsibility and many of you may see this as a political act with me being a part of King Asta’s herd but I can assure you it is not. I love him for who he is and what he’s done in founding this kingdom and I will continue to support him in this but not as an Equestrian Princess but as a mare that stands at his side and as a Magic Knight that serves to enforce the laws he creates and to protect his people. From this day forward I will no longer live in Equestria but reside here in his palace as part of his herd. “ She bowed and then joined Asta and the others.

Asta stepping forward. “I know some of you have questions and I will answer them later, but first we have one last announcement,” Shy stepped forward. Asta smirked as he grabbed her hand. “Fluttershy and I are expecting our first child to be born in the following months to come.”

The crowd erupted in a mass of cheers, while some remained silent, mainly griffins that had been sent in as spies by the Arbitrator. A few others like the minotaurs and few drakes that had come had been watching and were eager to see the Newly Crowned King. They had heard tales of his exploits and wanted to see if he was really as strong as the stories said and had really founded a new city and kingdom. So far they weren’t disappointed.

“And now to say a few parting words a good friend of our and visiting foreign diplomat, Princess Ayumi,” Asta turned his head, “Come on and say a few words before the festival starts.”

As Ayumi stepped forward a murmur came from the crowd as while she had been seen in the city most of the citizens and foreigners currently visiting hadn't actually known she existed let alone the fact she looked like a slightly altered Princess Twilight. "My name is Ayumi and as Asta said I am a visiting Princess and a good friend. I wish Lady Twilight and the great Black King the best in their continued rule and lives and hope that none may oppose them. But if anyone is planning on that, watch the closing match of the festival where Asta and I will be showing everything we can do and exactly why angering any of the Allied royalty is a bad idea. Enjoy the Crowning Fair." With that statement, Ayumi stepped down and walked off.

"The Crowning Fair?" Asta muttered as he clapped and walked passed only for Ayumi to shrug it off. Stepping up, Asta started to say his closing, "Like Princess Ayumi said, please enjoy the fair and have a good time and see all Waillen has to offer. If you require assistance look for the nearest booth of or creature with a robe with the Black Bulls Logo on it. Thank you all for coming and have a great day!" He smiled and quickly turned, allowing his cape coat to wist in the draft.

"Now that that's out of the way I really want to relax for a bit," Asta sighed. "Been stressing about it since it came up. Any pony else for some relaxation? The match is really the only thing major we have left and that's not for another few days. I say we enjoy our downtime a bit."

"You'll get no complaints from us," His girls said in unison.

"Neither I nor my sister either," Luna, smiling looked at Ayumi. "And I would love to spend some quality time with my daughter before she has to go home.

"Yes. It isn't often we get to take extended trips like this where we can actually relax and enjoy it." Celestia agreed. "And I would like to spend time with Twilight and you."

"Nothing says bonding like bath time," Pinkie giggled.

"Darling it's not like we haven't all seen each others' assets at the Spa but what about Asta?" Rarity pointed out. "It's his palace and well… He ...Ah… Isn't with all of us either."

"I've got nothing to hide," Rainbow shrugged. "Not like we haven't taken dips in the pond after sparing back home anyways."

"If you're worried about it you can always wear a bathing suit," Came a very bold statement from a very shy mare. "Oh… Oh my… I'm sorry." Her face turned red with embarrassment.

"Suits are optional if we do mixed bathing," Asta shrugged. "If we do separate baths, that's pretty much out. Like Rainbow said, I've got nothing to hide, and not like I didn't bath in mixed baths back him when I was training. Some of my masters had both male and female students and set times everyone could Bathe. So it was mixed bathing or stink. It really hinges on our guest and on what she wants to do." He turned to Ayumi. "So what you think?"

"I have no problems with nude bathing in fact nudity is the norm in Ponyville and Cantorlot," Ayumi said. "Cantorlot is the old castle town around the Everfree castle it recently got rebuilt thanks to The Dark. He wanted a temple and grandmother Faust herself agreed to the idea of reviving the old capital." Ayumi snapped her fingers as she realized what she just revealed. "Yeah, Queen Lauren Faust Galaxia is around on my Equus."

"Yes well, I'm at least going to wear a pair of trunks," Shining said.

"Seconded," Spike raised his hand.

"I'm at the very least we're going to use a towel to cover up," Rarity Crossed her arms.

"Trunks or not I leave the decision up to you girls," Asta looked at his herd who merely shrugged. " And Faust?" He raised an eyebrow. Turning to Celestia. "Who the heck is Faust?"

"She's referred to as the Queen of Harmony and co-creator of the world alongside her twin brother Discord who embodies her opposite as Chaos," Celestia explained. "Many often say she's our mother but that's far from it. Though this may not be the case in many other worlds now."

"She's the Sister of Grogar, the father of all monsters including Dad." Ayumi said "the first Alicorn and the mother of all races on my Equus. This means alicorns do not just embody all of the pony traps but every race on my Equus. And since The Dark and The Light imparted their powers into Twilight she could have this ability too. As that is part of why I'm so easily able to turn into a dragon-like form. The other part is the displaced I was turned into being a dragon hybrid."

"Enough cross-dimensional family tree history. That crap honestly makes my head hurt worse than when Asta kicks my ass in sparring!" Spike cut in. "We're here,"He pointed to the bathrooms. "Let's get changed and head into the joined bath."

"Language young drake," Luna scolded, causing Spike to flinch slightly while Celestia giggled.

"Yea... lockers are in the changing room for clothes," Asta looked himself over. "I really dig this look but I still like my regular threads better. I think I will wear trunks after all too…" he said somewhat disappointing a few of the other mares

10 minutes later in the bath…

"Surprised you all with how big they are, didn't I?" Ayumi asked as she relaxed on the edge of the bath. "MM cup and that's with the piercings."

A towel hit her in the face, “We already knew ya had big boobs,” Asta deadpanned. “Luckily I immune to such things see like that one,” he pointed at Amore. “Basically suffocates me with he chest every chance she gets,”

“I’m sorry but I CAN’T HELP IT!” Amore pouted. “I have big boobs and I like to be affectionate with the man who saved my home. It’s not my fault you’re small and easily snuggled!”

“She has a point,” Twi pointed out. “Wait a minute? Will my boobs get that big now that I’m like you sis?”

“Okay plugging my ears now,” Shiny sighed.

“You do that Shining I’m kinda interested in this,” Spike started walking over to the mares.

Suddenly a blast of wind knocked him into the pool, “Down boy, too much sexy for you at the moment!” Pinkie blew on her finger like it was a gun.

"He's at least 16 Pinkie like you were no better back then Sis," Ayumi said a mischievous grin on her face. "And yes Twily. In fact, we'll both be in the Hyper cup sizes at full growth."

“Holy fuck I’m… I’m gonna go over there for a while,” Asta said face bright red as he pointed to the other side of the pool with Shining and the pouting water longed drake.

“Um… should we be concerned or be congratulating you Twi?” Rainbow scratched her head confused. “Seriously I... I can’t make up my mind. Bigger boobs means lots of things but at the same time I’m not sure they’re a good thing for our line of work.”

“Ya drive a pretty decent point there Rainbow,” Aj rubbed the back of her neck.

"I'm over 600 years old, not counting the time I was stuck in the time stream for around a thousand years, that's why without my piercings I'm so big." Ayumi clarified "She'll slowly grow into it in a similar way to a second puberty but without the hormonal imbalances. It will take around 30 years for her to reach my full size. Even then I can just make another set of these." She said as she pointed out the black studs in her nipples. "and before you ask they have to be inserted into the flesh to work. That's why they're piercings. My nipples were just the easiest for me as my ears became hypersensitive with time."

“Well at least it’ll be gradual,” Twi sighed in relief. “And if you could please make a set of those as earrings that would be much appreciated, big sis? I’m really not into piercings at all but if it has to be it gonna be my ears.”

Suddenly a massive wave of water hit the entire group leaving everypony thoroughly soaked to the core. They all looked at the other end of the pool glaring at a certain king.

“Hey you guys weren’t showing any signs of getting in so I thought I’d give some incentive,” Asta smirked with a shrug. He made a hand form of hand sign and concentrated taking in a deep breath through his mouth, and then suddenly released jets of super-heated air through his nose. As the air hit the water it started to bubble ever so slightly. “There we go, nice and hot. I recommended you enjoy the water while you can,” he said falling on his back..

"I was just waiting for you," Ayumi said as she jumped in. "Kinda hate cold baths." She said as she surfaced. The water made her fur shine as she floated. "I had an idea in regards to mine and potentially Twily's full size, but before I go through with it I want to clear the air about something."

“And what would that be darling?” Rarity tilted her head.

"I'm a goddess as I've said before and Twily gained a level of divinity when the Twin Lion brothers imparted their power into her," Ayumi said. "Part of my divine abilities is a literal Divine figure so I want to warn you if you're tempted to worship me when I'm unsealed that isn't my fault. I can't turn that off. This is part of why I seal myself like this. I didn't mention it before because of the fact that there was someone stronger than me around to negate this effect. Plus I tend to forget about that little fact since I almost am always in my younger form."

“Sorry but we’re not about to start worshiping you just because suddenly you have a huge rack,” Rainbow crossed her arms and everypony nodded. “So sorry to disappoint you or not. I really don’t care,” She dove in the water.

"Oh come on it's just a light warning. All I meant by that is that you might you're a mild compulsion to it due to my passive Godly aura." As she said this, she removed her piercings, and in a flash of light, Ayumi grew to surpass Celestia in height by 2 inches while her mane and tail began sparkling and moving on their own. Her wings became pure energy and a unique set of armor appeared out of the either and attached itself to her along with a couple of magenta ribbons appear from the circles of energy her wings extended from. "Ok, what do you think?"

“Sexy,” Spike called out.

“Still not gonna worship,” Asta deadpanned.

Eddy floated in the air tapping his chin as he thought and smiled showing off his pointy teeth, he then quickly floated over to Ayumi’s side, “We are not worthy!”

“Of course,” Aj rolled her eyes.

“You are very fetching but we're still not feeling the need for worship,” Rarity shook her head.

“Can we drop the worship crap?!” Shy rolled her eyes, “Oh sorry….” She hid her face.

“I must admit I am a bit jealous,” Luna looked down, placing her hands on her chest.

"Look I get it no one is going to worship me." Ayumi said. "but I wanted to make it clear that if you felt something off while I'm like this I want you to tell me." She went back to floating in the pool. "I can't turn it off completely but I can lessen the effects of the compulsion if it starts to affect you. And having dealt with mental Magic myself I know how annoyed all you get when your head is messed with that's true in every universe." Ayumi frowned "Wish my herd was here. they could clear things up a lot better than I could. Moondancer most of all since she's a lot like me."

“Hmmm… I wonder if I have enough power thanks to her? Running diagnostics” Eddy thought then gave a smirk. “Within current parameters: Request accepted,” he acknowledged and opened a void portal.

"What the hell Eddy?" Ayumi shouted as she began placing barriers on the portal. "Were you just a trap by Uncle Edward to throw me into the void?! Cause if so I'm not just going to let myself be banished without a fight!"

"Trap? Banish you," the chibi tiled its head. "You said you wanted to see your wives so I accessed the void network and gained the coordinates of your homeworld via your laptop," He explained. "With some help from your excess mana pool, I was able to open a portal for your girls to come here. You are gonna wanna drop that barrier soon."

"No need." A two-toned voice said as three puffs of smoke crossed the barriers. One a light blue, the next emerald green, and the third a mellow yellow.

"Twilight always keys her barriers to allow her Betas access in case of emergency." A slightly airhead sounding voice said as the smoke clouds took the shape of mares.

"And my unique magic lets us bypass them regardless if the need is great enough," Moondancer said as the smoke mares solidified into her Sonata Dusk and Chrysalis. "As an Umbra and alicorn-hybrid, my magic is even more powerful than my grandfather Sombra." She explained before turning to the resident Changeling. "Chrissy need I remind you again to use Ayumi's human name when off-world, we don't need to confuse anyone while we're here."

"Yeah even I do that and my short-term memory isn't the best along with my ADHD!" Sonata said. "You're younger than me by a good 200 years so you have no excuse." The youngest of the Dazzlings then turns to the others. "Please excuse my herdmate she was dropped as a Nymph and has always been a bit of a bitch since."

"You're just sore I beat you in battlefront 2 last night Nata," Chrysalis said as she walked over to Ayumi. "So you took them out? What caused that?"

"The Twins imparted some of their divine power into this world's Twilight as I helped her ascend. So I'm just showing a possible end state past canon." Ayumi explained to her cuddle bug. "How's Fluffle and Eris?"

"Good," Chrysalis said with a frown. "Why did you mutilate your soul again to help another ascend? You know how dangerous that can be!"

"Later Chrissy you're scaring a pregnant mare of this world!" Ayumi growled pointing to Fluttershy whose face showed disturbed horror at the changeling royal's words. "It's not as it sounds trust me."

"Yes and if you scare Shy anymore I won't be held responsible for my actions," Asta added. "Also, Ayumi, your super-hot wives made Spike pass out."

"Cady, I think I'm gonna get out," Shiny said as a blue aura wrapped around him. "No, you're not dear."

Asta tossed Spike on the bank as blood dripped from his nose. "You really need to watch more porn kid," Asta commented then turned to everyone. "Names Asta Ferris new girls. This is my world and kingdom. Enjoy the bath, if you want fun times then find a room and cast a muffling spell. Also, we wear clothes here when not bathing, enjoy," he flopped back into the water.

"Big sis," Twi caught Ayumi's attention. "What did Chrysalis mean when she said 'mutilated' your soul'?"

"It's how I created that orb. I burned part of my wellspring to make it. Normal Equestrians who try this will die in a few hours but alicorns and those above them can safely do so and only suffer pain. The soul/ wellspring can also be used to boost Fullmetal Alchemist style Alchemy in a similar nature to a philosopher's stone from the same world. This can be done by mortals who have knowledge of the technique at the cost of lifespan. That's why beings who are immortal such as you and I can do it indefinitely as our souls are no longer bound by the limits of time. I used both techniques to create that physical orb. I had done it soon after I first used my Wellspring to help Moondancer ascend fully so it had just been sitting inside my soul to be extracted at another point. A just in case you might say. Luckily I knew something like your situation where you were supposed to have ascended soon after you got a certain book could come about as a displaced." Ayumi glared at Celestia. "You know if she failed to cast Starswirled's spell in its unfinished state the magical backlash would have damaged the elements making them useless for a good decade at least."

"I have the utmost faith in my student as I'm sure your own mentor did and does in you," Celestia said sternly. "She has proven time and again that she is more than capable of being a great sorceress and now she will also go on to be a better princess than even I or Luna." She turned her head to Asta. "But I am afraid she will have to learn the loss of love on her own," She said somberly.

"I have to agree with you, sister," Luna nodded. "With Asta being mortal and the fact she has fallen so deeply for him it will hurt her greatly when he passes on." She looked at Ayumi. " Or can the Displaced not die?"

"No," Eddy chimed in as he landed on Ayumi's head. "Mortal Displaced like Asta and Ed's youngest brother can in fact die of wounds diseases and many other things old age being the rarest factor among them though. Most Displaced usually gain some form of immortality before that and go on to become void dwellers though."

"Actually due to his Demon and his soul reaper forms Asta is in fact immortal in a way as when he dies he can just get a Gigai made for himself and come home," Ayumi said flatly. "So even if his current body does bite it he can come back in a few days at worst."

"That is a valid point," Moondancer said. "He's pretty much immortal since the afterlife is something you can return from in this world."

"How could I forget about the Shinigami," Celestia covered her face in embarrassment.

"Not entirely," Chrysalis said as she eased herself into the water. "Souls can die but for beings like Ayumi or Asta here who have massive powerful souls, it's far harder as in soul form any living durability is vastly improved. This includes lifespan."

"That is true and Asta has also been biologically altered with part of Sombra's focus crystal in his body," Luna pointed out. "Let's not forget his dragon partner Ymir either. Their life forces are linked, as long as she continues to live he will have access to dragonic aging. In a manner of speaking, Asta has a form of immortality very similar to our own sister in terms of longevity and decreased aging speeds," Luna pointed out. "Even if his body is physically killed he'll still be around for a long time."

"I certainly hope so," Celestia sighed, laying back and stretching out. "Something is telling me he is the lynchpin for many things to come."

"So BBBFF?" Ayumi asked Shining. "You okay with Chrissy cause your actions earlier like you trying to flee kind of makes me worry you're going to try for a headshot with your magic or something similar." The mere thought of that happening causing Ayumi's eyes to slit and small flames to appear on her mane and tail. "And need I remind you how fast my magic reacts to my anger."

"No I wasn't going to try anything like that and it's just being around the one or version of a woman that brainwashed me into almost marrying her makes me a little uncomfortable not to mention being around all the beautiful women in here on top of my sisters are kind of making me really uncomfortable," Shining scowled. "No offense to you Chrysalis I know you're not the same one from our world but I still have a few mental scars."

"To be honest the form I'm in currently is just for my Fluffle," Chrissy said. "I can revert to my base to help distance myself from that version of myself but Ayumi also likes my old body so it's up to her."

"No, it's not what… can I just leave please?!" Shiny begged.

"I think the old captain of the Guard is a little self-conscious that he has a boner caused by women other than his wife," Asta pointed it out as shining started to blush heavily. "Nothing to be ashamed of really. Hot chicks are hot. Our girls don't mind us looking or thinking as long as we do it in our heads and include their opinion if we want to have another relationship, right?" He turns this head to his girls and they all nodded in agreement. "See. Man, I can't believe I'm the one preaching polygamy and I come from a world where monogamy is mainly practiced."

"Biologically monogamy is stupid. Humans are polygamous by Nature that's why most marriages end up in divorce because humans are denying their needs. That's also why cheating is so common in relationships on most Earths because it's a biological need to have more than one mate." Ayumi said " As a former human myself I understand far better than most people would the culture of single pair marriage, but I also know why that practice is idiotic. Especially since humans are far more socially connected on any version of Earth nowadays than they were before. Being 100% honest here the fact that cities can have a million-plus people at once is basically the reason why divorces have spiked so far. Historically marriages would last so long because there wasn't really an opportunity to sleep around and not get caught."

"We've heard it before Koty!" Moondancer said using her personal nickname for the purple alicorn. "No need to go on a six-hour rant/lecture on the biological advantages to herds." The Umbran alicorn turned to Asta. "Sorry, she gets this way when she meets humans who refuse to herd. Surprisingly she's converted a Senku displaced to herds with the quick explanation." She shrugged. "But then again that guy had been a multi major in the bio-sciences engineering chemistry and he was a rock hound on his off time before dealing with his displacement and the added knowledge Senku had in his brain. And along with the mental processes Senku used in both the show and manga. It wasn't too hard."

Asta shrugged and points at Twi, "I'm used to it as I have my own lecturer right there," Twi blushed. "And she loves every second I stare at her while she does it."

"Look I have nothing against her it's nothing at all. I just don't want to be in one a the only Pony I've ever loved is sitting all right over there," Shiny pointed at Cadence. "There's no denying that all of you are the hottest women I have ever seen but for me, there has to be more than just a physical attraction, something along the line of an emotional attraction."

"Shiny is right," Cadence agreed with her husband. "We just haven't found anyone that we're feeling emotionally attached too to add to our herd if we ever wanted to make one. As for right now, we just love each other and we're all we need."

"I get that," Sonata said. "Though I hope the ‘me’ of this world and her sisters meet you sometime soon. Had we been here for a certain event that may come up we could have helped out. Plus I think you'd find Dagi pretty hot and a nice girl once her gem gets purified."

"We'll see what happens," Asta commented, floating by on his back. "This world is very different from your own,” he slightly cracked an eye looking at Sonata, “so the outcomes will be different for events to come. Hell, I don't actually know a lot of stuff that's coming anyway and before you say anything I don't want to know any future details, that goes for everypony else in this room too."

Ayumi started to speak but was quickly stopped by Eddy who plopped down on her boobs and looked her in the eyes shaking his head not to speak.

"All I was planning on saying is that a certain old friend may be miffed at Twily," she said, her thumb pointing to her Moondancer. "After all she did forget Dancer's birthday in favor of Mom's return. Might want to fix that."

“I have neglected a few ponies ever since going to Ponyville and even more becoming a Magic Knight and since the city was first founded,” Twi looked down at her reflection in the water ashamed.

"You will be in charge of a few new tasks now that you are a princess as well, " Luna informed.

"Now that your coronation is over you will need to attend the upcoming summit Being held in the Crystal Empire this year," Cadence added Catching Asta's attention.

"If she's goin to that I'm coming," Asta butted in. "I'm coming as her moral support and her boyfrIend not as an emissary though."

"Don't you have a meeting in the Seireitei with the Shinigami coming up Darling?" Rarity pointed out.

"Yea but that's in the coming days after the festival," Asta acknowledged.

"We weren't planning on stopping you either way Asta," Shining said. " You're a hero to our ponies and they'd love to see you and Spike again. Besides, the summit isn't for another couple of weeks."

"So Asta when are we going to fight?" Ayumi asked as she replaced her piercings and shrank back to her normal size. "My Girls haven't seen me go all out in a long time and itching to see what my Grimoire will hold."

“On the last day of the festival as the opening event,” Asta said, floating in the water. “For the next few days let's just enjoy some downtime and everypony’s company.” He cracked his eye and looked at the hot girls off to the side and then to Ayumi. “You got some good girls with some good assets and good hearts over there, better take care of them.”

Ayumi looked at Asta’s girls and smiled and closed her eyes and laid back on her back, “Same goes for you brother-in-law of mine.”

Meanwhile in Waillen’s outer ring…

Urahara Kisuke was peacefully walking through the city enjoying himself and making note of what he refurbished the city has to offer. At his side was his old friend in crime that he’d sent to keep watch over Asta about a week and a half ago the black Yoruichi.

Urahara walked along with a Popsicle in his hand, “Hmmhmmm…”

“Would you stop humming?” Yoruichi whispered annoyed at the tune. “We have some serious stuff to consider here. This city was barely a town less than a week ago and now it’s a fully functioning city. If I hadn’t been there with you to witness it I wouldn’t have believed it.”

“I know. That Edward fellow was really powerful, you should’ve seen when he shattered the breach of the Menes,” Urahara said as he licked his ice cream. “He had a Bankai and a hollowfiction too. He used them strategically to mask his presence and involvement from the Seireitei.”

“And he even came to speak with us personally,” Yoruichi shuddered at the bloodlust the blonde-haired man had exuded during their encounter. “He is truly a monster.”

“I’d call more along the lines of a deeply caring older brother,” Urahara finished his snack. “ I promised him and that goddess I wouldn’t interfere with things so that's what I’ll do.”

“Oh shut the fuck up with that bull shit Kisuke,” Yoruichi deadpanned with half-lidded eyes. “We both know that you’d be all over the whole Displaced thing if you could. “

“Ya got me there,” He Mock laughed. “But I can’t even do anything about it thanks to the curse Edward put on me. ‘The Curse of Binding Death.”

“Yea, any pony that talks about even looking into it for you dies along with you instantly,” The black cat darkly said. “A very dark curse and one not even from this world so there is no way to counter, yet,” The cat looked at Urahara.

“No way to counter it at all,” The shopkeeper replied. “I can’t decipher any of the spell matrices. Every time I try, it counters me. Only a truly skilled mage could even think of countering this, one who is much smarter and has years of experience under his belt.”

“How many years?” Yoruichi tilts his head.

“Let's just say a lot,” Kisuke added. “For now let's scout out this town. Maybe Asta will let us set up shop here. I really don’t like Canterlot at all…”
