It has been a week since the Gala and everything has been going well me and Applejack has been working together everyday and my training has been greatly improved and when we are done at the farm sometimes we have a little alone time we haven't done anything except making out though and after all that is done I go to my house to look through the paperwork the mayor has for my.

Thankfully it was not much but it was still a little difficult most of it was just a few complaints or requests like some are requesting for rain and others were random nonsense and I let the ring finally translate whatever language ponies write but it left me with a killer headache but I recovered.

I looked through the papers until I saw on different colored paper it said there was a massive change in everfree activity manticores and timberwolves we're going crazy and getting closer to town.

“Well I should send a letter to Celestia I was given a special fire a few days ago they put it in lighter will spikes flames were green this is one red meaning it was urgent.

Dear Celestia

I have received word that the creatures of the everfree are acting crazy and are moving closer to town and I request in increase the guards near town I might be able to handle this myself but I can't do it all on my own so I request a few dozen guards to patrol the area between town and the everfree.

Hope you are in good health you friend Noah

I then light the lighter and set the letter on fire and the ashes started to fly towards Canterlot.

“Well I guess it’s time to go to bed now and wait for a response.” I said aloud as I stretched and went to bed I had slowly gotten used to this house and I had gotten much more food so I can feed my titans from time to time and I taught Lunar how to eat in a proper fashion and not just burying her face in her food.

{Next morning}

I walk up when there was a knock on the door and I got out of bed and put my clothes on and walked down stairs and opened the door to see at least two dozen guards at the door.

“We were sent by Celestia and told us you would explain.” The leader of the guards said.

“Ok then thee have been reports of the timberwolves manticores and other creatures of the everfree going crazy I will do in the deep parts of the everfree later to investigate but for now you guys will patrol the area between ponyville and the everfree understand.” I said and they all nodded and got to work the Pegasus said they were going to go to cloudsdale to get thunder clouds to use against the creatures of the everfree.

I grabbed Nordrake, Dark Dryad, the Sekhmet's, the Undergolems and Thorment then I headed for the farm to help Applejack.

As I walked through the orchard I breathed in the fresh air and after a few minutes of walking I made it to her house and she and he brother Big Mac were waiting for me.

“Ready for another day of work?” I asked.

“Yup.” Big mac said and he went off to do his thing.

“Let’s go partner.” Applejack said as she grabbed my hand and we went into a part of the orchard that was gill with trees that had dozen of apples on them and I called the Sekhmet’s Thornment and Dark Dryad.

“Well lets all get to work then.” I said and the Sekhmets were strong enough to punch the trees and they fall off Dark Dryad used her vines to grab apples of the trees and placed them in the buckets and Thornment had to be very careful because her thorns could puncture the apples so she did things slower and I have been checking the bonds with my titans lately and it appears Thornment is close to being powerbounded as well and I think Sekhmets is just a the edge but it wont go any farther for some reason and I feel like Shifter could powerbound at any time I wonder what he would look like.

“DragonFist.” I said and was fist was wrapped in the normal red energy and I started punching tree making all the apples fall and Applejack was kicking the trees.

“I don't think we ever been able to get so many apple so fast.” She admitted with a satisfied tone in her voice and I chuckled.

“Then I guess I'm glad I came to work here.” I said with the same tone and we continued to gather apples and we decided to take a break an hour later.

Me and Applejack sat against a tree next to each other and she rested her head on my shoulder.

“Nice weather today a clear sky with a cool breeze.” I said as I enjoyed the cool breeze I always liked cool weather it was always relaxing.

“Yeah it is.” She said and she was now on my lap and she kissed me.

“Hmmmm.” She moaned in my mouth and I placed my hands on her hip.

She broke the kiss and she gave a few more quick kisses before getting off.

“Well it’s time we got back to work.” She said and as she walked away she had a small sway in her hips and she looked back at me and winked before we both got back to work and I was surely going to have a few good dreams tonight.

We were loading the cart and saw we loaded the last barrel of and the wheels broke.

“Dag nabbit what are we going to do now!” Applejack yelled as she kicked the cart.

“I have something that can help.” I said and I pulled out two amulets.

“Undergolems.” I said and they appeared.

“Can you two help us move the cart to the barn?” I asked and they picked up the cart carefully and we slowly made our way to the barn me and the titans made sure none of the barrels feel out of the cart while they carried it.

After reaching the barn they set it down and we all took the barrels out of the broken cart and set them to the side.

“Let’s get something to eat.” I said and she nodded and we went to the house to get some food.

“Hey Noah.” I heard behind me and I turned around to see Applebloom smiling at me.

“Hey how you doing today.” I said knelling to get to her eye level.

“I’m fine, I heard you and my sister are a couple now.” She said and he excitement was obvious.

“Yes we are I guess that makes us family doesn't it.” I said with a smile on my face and she lunged at me and wrapped her arms around my neck and hugged me.

“My friends are going to be so jealous.” She said and I hugged her back.

She finally let go of my after a minute and we all went to the kitchen to grab some food it was mostly apple based foods so I just grabbed a few pieces of apple pie and Applejack grabbed a few herself and Applebloom just grabbed some apples.

“Is there anything else you want me to do today?” I asked I wanted investigate why the everfree was getting more dangerous.

“No there isn't anything else to do today.” She told me.

“Ok then I guess I will head to the everfree they have been trouble today so I have to check it out so I will see you later.” I said and she nodded and I left the house and unsummoned my titans and pulled out Nordrake and summoned him and I got on his back.

“Let’s fly over the everfree and see what is going on.” I said and he took off and we flew over the everfree we spotted nothing abnormal then I heard Nordrake growling and his icy breath leaked out the corners of his mouth.

“What’s wrong.” I said as I patted his neck to get his attention and he was looking towards a section of the forest and he started flying towards it.

“Where are we going?” I asked and he wasn't listening.

As we continued to fly the forest began to shimmer and then a large part of the forest disappeared revailing a large section was cut down as in the center of the clearing was a fortress made of wood likely from the trees they cut down and there was a large wooden wall around it Nordrake landed a the tree line and went back to his amulet.

“I need to head back and try to think of a plan.” I said and I decided to try a power from my father's book.

I stood up and relaxed and took a deep breath and said .”Slipstream.” I said and I could feel the pink aura surround me and my body felt strange before I appeared in my house. And I rushed to my room to get my amulets.

I grabbed all my amulets and teleported back using the same power.

“Ok how do I do this.” I said to myself and I was about to rush to the wall before a thought popped in my head.

‘If they know it is me they could attack ponyville.’ and as that thought ran through my head I was filled with fear until I remembered shifter and I pulled him out.

“Now is the time I really need you please help me Shifter.” I said and something was changing and suddenly he appeared in a flash of light that blinded me and when I looked at him he was different than before his robe was now black instead of purple and the ribbon that were on his cloak and bells were now red and now his eyes were no longer purple but white.

I immediately summoned my Cypherdex and had it scan him.

“Powerbounded Shifter attack 5 defense 4 type Draco-titan sorcerer size average special abilities shapeshifting and solid illusions.” HE said and I looked up solid illusions it appeared he can create illusions that could fight and defend but size affected how many he could create if he created a large titan or person he would create less the smaller the more he could make if he made something my size he could create a total of 5 and 4 if he is on me since he is using his power to hide my real identity.

“Ok I can work with this let's get to work shall we.” I told Powerbounded Shifter and I begin drawing what I want him to make me i wanted it to look like I was part of an organization that was against the nemesis order.

“Ok then let’s try it out turn into a mask please.” I said and he turned into a mask and the diamond that was in the middle of the mask was now black and I put it own and I could feel the illusion around me and I went to find a lake or river.

Once I found one I looked into the water and I immediately regretted my decision I wanted to look cool and I accidentally made myself look like a jester with a mask [imagine the jester outfit matches the colors of the mask] I summoned my mana weapon my Khopesh is unique they would easily recognize it and then I noticed I also had wings and the tail of a pony.

“Ok can you create the four copies?” I asked and four copies of me appeared and I asked him to make several changes so the do not look like clones and I had them lined up.

The one on the left had its black turned blue and the trims were gold I also made him a Pegasus and his weapon was a rapier with a gold handle.

The one on the middle left had its black was yellow and I turned it into a girl with a sizable breast and I had to make her a little shorter because of it and her weapon was a set of throwing daggers.

Middle right had its black colors into purple and she was female as well she was a bit taller than the other girl and her breasts were the same and both the girls were earth ponies and the trims of her clothes were much darker purple and her weapons were steel gloves.

And lastly I made another Pegasus the black was turned into a dark red and his weapon was a longsword that hung off his belt.

“The team is complete now what will our name be.” I said as I paced back and forth I needed a name for my fake organization to throw them off my scent and I got something pretty.

“From no on were the elite unit of the organization called the golden cross.” I said it was just something I remembered off the top of my head but it works and they all nodded it was lily Shifter making them doing that but now was not the time.

We made our way to the wall and we saw sentries along the wall.

“Yellow take them out while we climb the wall.” I said and she took some dagger from her belt and we started climbing and all we could see was the sentries fall of the wall and yellow taking her daggers from the corpses and starting to climb.

I turn the mana weapon into a whip and lowered it down and yellow grabbed it and we pulled her up after we reached the top and when we were all up here we moved along the wall to get a good lay of the land there were several building that looked important and some that looked just thrown together.

We made our way down the wall and quickly made out way to one of the buildings.

“Hey tell us the joke again the one with the mare and the clown.” I heard on the other side and I made my way around and I saw several people around a campfire two were minutes one was a griffin and there was one pony that seemed to be telling the joke.

“Yellow blue you got the Minotaur red purple the pony I’ll get the griffin.” I said and they took positions near their targets and then it was time I turn the mana weapon into a whip and It wrapped around the griffins neck and I start pulling him towards me and he struggled to breath as I dragged him towards me.

The two minutes were taken by surprise as yellow threw her daggers in one of their eyes and then slit his throat blue used his rapier to stabbed right through the Minotaur's throat.

Purple smashed his fist in the ponies face and he fell to the ground and then red repeatedly stabbed him in many places until he dies and after they were down I continued to strangle the griffin until he was unconscious and we dragged the corpses and the griffin away.

“Ok you four head for that building over there.” I said pointed to the second largest building I was going to look through the largest one.

They headed for the building and I made my way to the other and I walked inside and I had my Kilthane ready I know they have not seen some of my titans but if royal guards come here they might think it’s me.

Once I was inside I stuck to the shadows and there were several people walking around their were mostly diamond dogs and ponies in this building and it was particularly easy to sneak around.

‘I should find where they keep the titans if I take them it would give me a massive advantage.

I continued to sneak around and peeking into room most were living quarters still had not found where they found the amulets and maybe they have a few hecto I could take I would really like that.

At the end of one of the halls I found a room and I slowly walked inside it was a fairly large room maybe a room meant for training it was the appropriate size for titans of the colossal category the room is about 20 feet tale and 50 feet wide the place looked smaller from the outside.

“Look who showed up our intruder.” I heard and the room suddenly became brighter.

I told shifter to change my voice just in case and I looked around the room and I saw the pony that lead the attack on the gala along with 50 others and it seems the pony had two need titans that he enslaved.

I turned my weapon into a katana and I said. “Good evening gentlemen.” I said with a bow and my wings extended a bit and I noticed my voice was deeper.

“How are you and why are you here?” The pony questions and I checked with shifter and he could make a few small things so I decided to have a little fun.

“First how about a magic trick.” I said and with a flick on my hand a deck of cards appeared and there were no ordinary cards as they would soon find out and I started to shuffle them after I put my sword at my side.

“Enough of this foolishness tell us who you are.” He said but his voice fell on deaf ears as I ignored him and begin doing a few tricks and he was growing more agitated and I decided to attack and I lifted one hand on the air and the cards followed and then I shoved my hand forward and the cards began to fly towards the ponies friends I wanted to fight him myself and as they card flew by the both they embedded in the chest and necks of his friends.

“If only I had my Undergolems no I only have these second rank titans. The pony said as he pulled out five amulets.

“Sekhmet Freelancers[amulet] Enforcers[amulet].” He said and did I hear him right did he just call Sekhmet's a second rate titans now I am pissed and I grabbed my weapon and I could heat the screams of the titans in my head and I could hear the familiar voice telling me to save them from their suffering.

“Kilthane Cavalier.” I said and they appeared at my side and I whispered.

“I don't care how tough you are with the other titans just send them back but be careful with the Sekhmet.” I said and they nodded and charged.

Cavalier seemed more interested in fighting the enforcers and Kilthane the Freelancers and I was left with the Sekhmet cant say I am really disappointed I know Sekhmet's better than anyone.

She charged me with her swords and I held my katana and rushed her she swung and I slide in between her legs but kept my eyes down and I quickly got up and hick her making her fall to the ground and I ran towards the black pony and wings wings started to flap and I was flying in the air towards him at high speed.

I crashed into him and we both fell to the ground with me on top of him and I started throwing punches at his face and I could see the titans returning to the amulets as I punched him.

After they finished the other titans they took out Sekhmet with ease and the screams stop as I took the amulets from him and they bonded to me and I put my new Sekhmet with my two other around my neck and I grabbed the pony by the mane and I was about to finish him off before there was an explosion outside and the four copies ran in here.

“What happened.” I said and I thought maybe shifter could answer through them.

“There were more than we thought.” A female voice said and it was from purple.

“There were fire titans in there the entire building is engulfed in flames but we got a few of the amulets.” Blue said as he held out a bag and I took it and attached it to my belt.

“Even if this place is guarded that smoke will get through the illusion they cast and the royal guards will be here soon” I said and I got an idea and I summoned the Cpyherdex.

“Take this and cope every document you can find I will try to distract them when they arrive at most you have 10 minuetes so get to copying.” I said and gave it to yellow and they ran into separate room to gather papers.

I dragged the pony out by the man and Cavalier returned to his amulet and Kilthane stayed at my side as we left the building. I dragged him to where we took out the ones near the fire and I sat him up but held onto his mane.

‘Ok how will I go about this what will I say.’ I thought and I heard wings flapping behind me and I turned around to see Celestia and Luna with at least a hundred guard and I stood behind the pony with my sword to his neck.

“Look how decided to drop in Celestia and Luna what an honor.” I said and the guards were surrounding me.

“Who are you?” Luna asked and she was wrapped in a blue mist that turned into armor[could find a pony version of her] and it was the same with Celestia except the mist was gold.

“Surrender the pony and drop your weapon.” Luna said threateningly as she tried to take a step forward.

“Bad idea if you try to attack me my hand just might slip and slit his throat just think of all the lives that could be saved if you get the information that he has.” I said and she stopped and so did all the guards.

‘Ok then it seems I got then to back off for now’ I thought.

“Who are you?” Celestia asked and I bowed.

“Oh forgive me I knew you but you don't know me you can call me Grand Facade I am the leader of the elite unit of the order of the golden cross.” I said coming up with a quick name for myself I may have taken it from a titan but it was the only thing that I could think of that went with the costume.

“Golden cross?” Luna asked and it was a good think I thought of this before hand.

“We are protectors we have been watching over Equestria ever since the first appearance Nightmare moon always staying in the shadows dealing with possible threats and we have been trying to deal with this trash that called themselves the Nemesis Order.” I said.

“Then why don't you help us we can deal with them together.” Celestia proposed.

“I would need to talk to the leader of the order for that my team is gathering documents you can have this one I don't need him but I need proof you won't attack me after I let him go.” I said and they looked at each other and they dropped their weapons and then the guards and I let go of his mane and lowered my sword and I flew in the air and landed on the front of the building where the clones were.

They grabbed the pony and began to fly him away but some stayed behind and we watching me the princesses stayed as well but they did not go for their weapons the clones walked out of the building and it exploded behind them and handed me the Cypherdex without showing it to the guards.

“It’s time to go let’s move.” I said and the Cypherdex was unsummened and we made our way out of the fortress and I took Shifter off and the clones disappeared and I used slipstream to teleport home.

“Now then let's see what I got.” I said as I summoned the Cypherdex and begin to look through everything the clones got.
