It had been an entire week since me and Rarity had our special moment in my house, and we decided to give it a try we had gone on one or two dates during the week, and many could say we were inseparable, and once we had to go our separate ways to go home we shared a long kiss.

But now to the present it had been awhile since I had gone in a Grimm hunt, so I went to town hall to see guards waiting for me.

Once they saw me they said. "We gonna have to ask you to come with us." They said, and I saw they carried no weapons but that didn't mean they were not hostile towards me.

"How do I know I can trust you the last guards weren't really friendly." I said grabbed my riffle but I didn't take it off my back yet.

"We have orders from the princess to bring you to canterlot." The guard said, then I took my rifle off my back.

"I'm not going anywhere unless she comes here herself, and asks me to come." I said as I put it in spear mode.

The guards looked at each other before nodding and left town hall. After making sure they left I went to the assistant, and she had pulled out a file as I walked up to her.

"I already picked one out for you nothing really special Centinels have taken residence in a nearby cave, should be easy for you to deal with them." She said then I opened the file to see more information.

From what the file said there are about 30 of them, seemed easy enough so I left town hall then headed towards the cave.

The cave looked pretty normal but that is what centinels want you to think before they start to burst from the wall.

I walked inside, and after I got about a dozen or two feet inside it went just as I thought as the giant black, and white centipedes started to come from every side. "Dangerous but easy to predict." I said as The walls suddenly frozen, along with the centinels, but I only counted 20, so there were at least 10 more, in here that I had to track down.

I broke the frozen Grimm as I walked through the cave then I came into a larger area where the others were waiting there weren't half way in the ground or anything so this made it easy to kill them with my spear, it was hardly even a fight.

I returned to Ponyville to see Celestia herself waiting for me in town hall, as I walked in, she walked towards me with a smile as she said.

"It seems you have given my guards a little trouble." She said so I answered with.

"Given my experience with the last group I wasn't really going to be trusting to another, unless you came here yourself." I told her, and she nodded in agreement.

"I know but I had other things to attend to until now, and it is an emergency a leviathan is heading towards the coast of the griffin empire, and they had requested our aid in this matter." Celestia told me then I rubbed my chin.

'leviathan live in the ocean, that makes things very easy for me.' I thought then told her.

"If I can't kill it the very least I can do it restrain it, then stop its fire breath, while the others finish it off." I informed her.

"That is enough, i have transport ready for the both of us, I was informed that you never got used to teleportation so I arranged for my fastest carried to take us." She told me leading me outside after I received my pay, then we got on the carriage, and quickly took off.

"So there is a griffin Empire what about griffin Grimm?" I asked.

"They are entirely different the griffin people they are able to create claws, and can make ethereal wings like those of the pegasus blood." She explained.

"Ok that also after we deal with the Grimm, you will have to melt the ice because I can't melt it." I told her as I looked out the carriage window to see we were high in the sky.

"That's understandable." She said then she smiled again

"And I've heard you and Rarity have started dating." She said then I blushed.

"W-w-where did you hear that from?" I asked her.

"In one of Twilight letters she told me it was pretty over us to anyone that saw you two together." She explained, and I would need to remember to talk to her later but for now there as more pressing matters to deal with.

For the next few hours we sat mostly in silence, of course we did talk about a few things she asked about some of the technology I knew about, and while I tried to explain the best I could, but I didn't really understand how they were made.

"Are we almost there?" I asked Celestia asked, as I looked out a window.

"Almost to the coast where we will meet up with the Griffin's soldiers." She told me, as she also looked out the window.

"I'd say 5 more minutes till we arrive then we can stretch when we get there." She said, trying to stretch her arms above her head but there wasn't enough room.

After the 5 minutes had passed, we finally landed, and we got out of the carriage to stretch before we were shortly joined by etheiral winged soldiers wearing leather armor.

"We're glad your here, the grimm is about to reach the shore." One of them said.

"Ok then here the plan of attack first I'll stop its movement, then you will start your attack make sure to stay out of its line of sight especially if it's preparing it use its fire breath, I'll do what I can to assist but most of my concentration will be restraining it's movement." I said continuing to stretch.

"For someone so young you seem to know much about grimms." Said a feminine voice, as I stood up straight to see a woman in her mid 20's her hair was brown, and reached her shoulder, and she wore a purple dress that hugged her body.

Her eyes were green, and her skin slightly tan she had no visible scars but she looked like she had been in a fight once or twice in her life.

"Where I come from its common knowledge." I said then Celestia saw fit to introduce us.

"Winter this is the griffin empress Jessica, Jessica this is the Hunter I told you about in my letter Winter Storm." She said stepping beside me.

"Pleasure to meet you." She said holding out a hand then I put my gloves on before shacking her hand.

"Sorry for now touching you my ability." I said before she interrupted me.

"Affects your body, Celestia informed me of your powers, and there drawbacks." She said before facing the sea. "It will be here soon my guards will take their positions." She said before her and her guards flew off.

I took off my shoes then walked into the beach to see Celestia looking at me with a raised brow.

"Sand is difficult it get out of those shoes so I took them off it would impede my ability to fight." I told her before stepping into the water could feel its but not it's temperature.

"You have fought this before right?" Celestia asked.

"Yes I had fought one in Argus before the colossus was built to defend the city." I told her, then the water started to rise as water as the leviathan rose to the surface, it was the largest one I had seen I couldn't really tell how tall it was though.

The water went up to its waist, because it was so far away but an ideal amount, as I started to run across the water making it ice as I ran before pulling my weapon off my back.the water was now to its knees when I got to a good distance to it, then so shoved my fist into the water, then the ice shoot towards the grimm, freezing the water around his knees, and down the rest of his leg then to reinforce it all the water around it froze trapping it.

I feel to one knee in exhaustion doing that much at once weakened me a bit, but I still had enough energy to fight.

Soon the soldiers were flying over me, and began circling the beast as arrows flew from their bow.

After a moment I got back in my feet they put my hand on the ice making giant spikes of ice stabbing into its legs making it roar in pain.

It started to breath fire as it flung its head around.

It's fire took down several of the soldiers but the ones that were still in the air, were fighting hard to try to kill it, but now that my ice was inside it I could kill it myself.

The ice started to movie through its body , and cased spikes of ice to stick out of every part of its body, as it was torn apart from the inside out.

The last spike of ice popped out of the top of its head killing it install but then I fell to the ground as my aura was depleted.

Soon Celestia landed next to me, and picked me up. "You did well, but for now let's get you off the ice, so I can melt it." She said, as she flew us back to the beach.

After getting to the beach she carried me to the carriage, and sat me down on the ground so I could relax for a moment.

"You have done well Winter Storm." Jessica said landed in front of us.

"Not a problem." I said with a tired tone as I looked at the beast slowly disappear.

"Is I trust you will hold up your side of the agreement?" Celestia asked suddenly.

"Yes your investigation team is free to enter the border of the griffin empire." Jessica said leaving me confused as Celestia helped me into the carriage.

"What deal?" I asked Celestia as the carriage started moving.

"A large magical disturbance has appeared at the border between the griffin empire, and Equestria though it was still in griffin territory, if I sent a team it would cause problems so I made a deal with Jessica, we help with the leviathan they let my team in with no trouble." She explained as she looked out a window.

"I guess that makes sense but after that I don't think I'll be hunting for a few days." I said as I let me head hit the back of the carriage.

"I understand I'll have your payment, and your new dust delivered to your home." She told me but I remembered something.

"So have you found out who sent those guys to kill me?" I asked her, then I saw she had materialized a cup of tea.

"I believe it was gold rush but I haven't found anything solid yet he owns a merchant company, and on the day I offered you to be my hunter, he asked me to get rid of bounty hunters, and pay for his mercenaries, so he might want you dead so you don't cause trouble for him, but like I said I have nothing solid yet." She told me, as she sipped her tea.

After returning to Ponyville it was dark, and I was so tired from exhausting my aura I collapsed in my bed, then instantly fell asleep.
