The Deadliest Sin

First published 21st of June, 2020

Names Zak Law, when I died I was offered power and in exchange I protect a world from a threat it can’t handle.

Ever been murdered? It’s not fun.
As I was in a state of limbo, this horse lady offered me a chance to be reborn. And I get any power of my choosing! I mean I have to fight the demon clan but I think I can manage.

So as any sane person would do, I accept.

Crossover include Seven Deadly Sin and Overlord. Maybe more in the future.

Chapter One: Death and Meeting a God?

“Give me your money!” some idiot yelled at me as I was walking to the convince store near my house. Looking back I saw some dude with a black ski mask shakily pointing a gun at me. I could tell from his voice and height he was only around 17.

Now any normal person would comply with the mugger, but I just started laughing. Cocking the gun the dude started shaking even more. “What the fuck are you laughing at, do yo-“ was all he got to say before I rushed him, knocking the gun out of his hand. The gun landed in the middle of the street so I’m good now.

“Idiot, next time you try to rob someone at least pretend you are actually going to kill them. Keep your hand steady while pointing the gun someone and they might take you seriously.” After I said that the dude dropped to his knees, I noticed a tear streaming down his face. “I’ll be generous and let you go,” I said while I started walking away. “But don’t ever think about doing this again! If you do this again and I find out, I’ll make you wish you were dead.”

I was careless. While I was talking the kid got up, with hate in his eyes. He pulled out a knife and stabbed me in the back. I looked up and saw the kid without his mask on looking at me with fear and sadness in his eyes. That didn’t stop him from taking all of the shit I had on me though. He glanced at me one more time before running away. I suddenly to felt cold, everything around me was slowly turning black, I felt... relaxed.

“Poor kid... well it was my fault for turning my back on him,” I said with a frown on my face as I died, but it felt like I was falling.

In the void my body lay motionless while it falls, all I see is black. I then start to hear screams coming closer and closer, and my I started to feel my body burning all over. Then it hit me, I was going to hell! Well shit....

In a second all the pain vanished, I felt like I was being carried by somebody, who was big, soft, and warm. I passed out cold in the arms of my savior.

”I need to get rid of this memory, hearing the screams of the dammed would metally scar a mortal. This being said as it erased my memory of all that just occurred.

”Zak”

“...”

”Zak!”

“Mmm..”

”Zak Law”

“FUCK!”

”You’ve awoken, very good,” said a voice I didn’t recognize. I got up looked around and saw a anthro horse lady wearing a Greek Goddess dress. She was like 6’5 which is big compared to my 5’9 self. She also had big light blue eyes, Snow white fur, a red mane(?), wings, and a horn. I also noticed that above her head she had a halo!

Then I realized, I was stabbed! I should be dead! I wanted answers, no I needed answers.

“I’m gonna need an explanation before I freak out,” I said trying to stay calm.

”I was already going to explain. My world, Equis, is about to face a dangerous threat that my clan sealed away thousands of years ago. Since I can no longer interfere with the mortal realm I need you to fight them for me.”

“And what by chance makes you think I’m willing to help you? Even if I want to help I doubt I have the power to do so, I’m only human.”

”Do not be afraid child, for I will give you the gift of any power you choose, along with a new body of your choice if you want. Also you will not be fighting alone. My world is similar to two tv shows form earth, Seven Deadly Sins and My Little Pony. So you will have to find the other sins, if you accept my offer that is.” She said with a smirk knowing I was a huge weeb and would accept.

This is a good deal, I just have to think up the powers I want. My friends tell me that MLP is about magic, so I’ll need to be powerful in magic and close combat if I want to live. And since it also related to SDS demons will be preset, but should I chose one of the four archangels body’s so I can use ark? Or should I choose one of the demons body’s instead? I’ve made up my mind, it’s not the best for a body but it comes with its perks.

“Ok, I accept your offer. For my powers and abilities I want all of Ainz Ooal Gowns, along with all of the items in his inventory. For my body I want Zeldris. He’s a demon which gives me a long life span and great regeneration abilities, and if I really need it the Indura form.” I really hope she accepts this because I really like Zeldris and Ainz’s powers.

She looked to be lost in thought but quickly looked at me with a smile. ”That is acceptable, although you will not have Zeldris magical ability you will have to figure out what yours is. Since you wanted Ainz’s power your sacred treasure will be the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown. Speaking of sacred treasure I will give you the power to grant your fellow sins sacred treasures as well” she said as she pulled out a book and flipped open, “Because of your knowledge of the weapons you’ve seen in anime, movies, games, etc. this spell will search your memory for a suitable sacred treasure for the sins.” As she finished talking the book started to float in front of her. She then placed her hand on one of the cover of the book, ”When the time comes you must say these words ‘Search my mind! Chose a worthy weapon for the one I behold! Memory-make magic: Sacred Treasure!’ I have imprinted these words in your mind so you don’t forget.”

After she said that it felt as if my head burning! It ended after a few seconds though so all it’s good. But I’ve been having a question on my mind since she mentioned the sins. But before that..

“Hey, what’s your name?”

”Oh, how rude of me, my name is Lauren Faust.” While saying that I saw a tent of red adorn her cheeks before it went away just as quick as it got there.

“So.... Faust, what sin am I?”

”Pride,” she said while looking down at me with a gentle smile.

That was the last thing a saw before I felt pain all over my body. And for the second time today everything went black.

Author's Notes:

Yeah, first time writing. I was originally gonna do this but with Gilthunder with the Goro Goro no Mi fruit but it was to hard.

So yeah, I don’t have a schedule for this I’m only doing it for fun.

Chapter Two: Saving Whitey

Regaining consciousness, I immediately open my eyes. Looking around I noticed that I was surrounded by trees on all sides. Looking closer I realize that those are oak trees, so I'm in a forest. Great. Since there is really nothing to do, I'll open up my inventory to see what's in it.

Reaching out into the air I noticed that my hand has Zeldis' glove on. It feels natural on my hand almost as if I have no glove on. Something was different though, I had the ring of Ainz Ooal Gown on embedded on my right ring finger. And the Shooting Star ring on my left middle finger. On my left pinky finger there was one I didn't recognize. It had a silver outline and a big blue gem in it. The problem is that Ainz had 10 rings, this is only three, I'll try to contact Faust if I can to see whats up.

Back to my other goods. Reaching out in the air, my hand was swallowed by the familiar black portal. Once my hand entered I got information on whats in there, my staff and.... A pitcher of water. That’s it. There's no way... That can't be it. Pulling out this stupid pitcher, there was a note attached to it.

Dear Zak Law,

After I sent you off I went to give you your new powers, but I couldn't find what 7 of those rings on Ainz Ooal Gown's fingers did. Also because your not the same race as Ainz Ooal Gown you won't have his advantages. Another thing is that he only had a pitcher of water in his inventory as everything of importance was located in Nazarick. Because of this I went to the a wiki page(yes, I have a phone) and gave you all of the tier magic they had on it, as well as all of Ainz's super tier magic. Your final gift I will give you is the ability to create a custom NPC of your choice. Now run along and find the other sins!

Faust has a phone, ok then, whatever. A rush of information entered my head causing a small headache cause discomfort . Well I still basically have all the powers and more that I wanted. And as a plus I can make a NPC! I guess I can do that now.

Thanks to the new information, I now know that I have to enter my mindscape to create my NPC. I’ll need to find somewhere that’s not out in the open to go do this. Picking a random direction to walk in while looking around for a place to meditate I hear a scream coming from from the right of me.

Well I can’t just ignore that can I? Even though I really want to. Kicking off the ground with more force than intended, I was like a missile zooming towards the scream. Within seconds I found my self next to what appears to be a mining site. Canceling out the surrounding sound trying to listen for the voice that screamed, I waited for any noise. I picked up protesting and the sounds of a struggle in the cave so I decided to go down.

I found some ugly bipedal dog creature yanking at the chain of a white pony with purple hair. Taking a step closer some other dogs noticed me and ran over.

“What you here for monkey,” one of the dogs said. Now I’ve never been called a monkey before and was taken aback by his insults. I stepped closer to the dog, which caught the attention of the purple haired mare.

“You, who is but a bug beneath my feet, dare call me a monkey.” I wasn’t very happy with this over grown dog. Also can I just point out I am super small. I‘m 5 foot now! A whole 9 inches smaller than what I used to be! So this deformed dog is towering over me at his 5’7 height.

Coming back to reality I see the dog pulling out a sword while glaring daggers at me. “You think you can kill me? How foolish, I sentence you to death.”
When I finished saying that I started drawing out my sword.

“No stop! He’s only a colt! Forgive him please,” screamed the purple haire- whitey. She looked horrified and upset. I wonder why? Back to he fight, both of our swords are fully drawn. Waiting for the dog to make the first move I just stared at him.

Ok I sense more dogs surrounding me now. I guess I’ll kill them all. The dog in front of me smirked as a dog ran up behind me and tried to stab me. Then his face fell into one of shock, anger, and fear when I kicked a hole clean through the one behind me. Leaving me with a blood soaked shoe I’ll have to clean later.

“You kill Spot! We Kill you!” Screamed all the dogs. While three dogs in front of me started coming at me I remembered that I can eat souls of living beings. I adorned a sinister smile that made all of the dogs, and Whitey quiver in fear. Rushing at the 3 dogs that were in front of me I cut all of there legs off in a blink of an eye. Turning around I counted how many left. Three down 6 more to go.

Two dogs yelled while running at me with spears. The one to the right of me thrusted his spear at my head, so I moved out the way and let his spear sink into the stomach of the dog on the other side of me. I have to end this quickly before the they bleed out. Slicing the dogs legs off I made my way for the other four.

While they where all paralyzed in fear I walked up and collected the souls. The all fell to the ground while blankly staring into space. Eating one of the souls I immediately felt stronger. As a plus it tasted good. Putting the other three in my inventory, I went around collecting the other 5 souls. I couldn’t help my self and ate another while putting the rest in my inventory.

Spotting Whitey cowering in a corner I started heading over to her. She noticed me approaching and curled into a ball. Poor thing probably thinks I’m going to kill her too.

Grabbing her arms she let out a little scream. With my sword I cut the chains she had around her wrist. She looked up at me with surprise and fear evident on her face. “Little pony, I will not hurt you,” I said much to her shock.”Now run along back to your family.”

“Thank you,” she whispered weakly as she started running to the entrance getting blood on her hooves. “I’m not a colt by the way!” I called out to her as I turned away waking further inside the mine.

I know it’s not the first time I killed anyone, but that was super brutal. But it was also super fun!

Author's Notes:

Hope you enjoy! This was my first time writing a fight scene so if you don’t mind, could you tell me how I did.

Chapter Three: New Follower

I came across more dogs deeper in the cave, which I swiftly dealt with. As I was looking around I came across rooms which had stuff in them. I found tons of gems and gold coins in them. Fun fact, one side of the coins had a sun while the other had a moon. The last thing I found were a bunch of strawberries. Stuffing all of the loot in my inventory I found a room and sat down to meditate.

Emptying my mind was easy for some reason. I 'opened' my eyes and was greeted by a black void with three bars shining with different lights. The bar that was the largest and had a rainbow light emitting from it. I guess that its my Yggdrasil magic. The second bar was the just a little smaller than than the first and had a deep purple glowing from it. That has to be my darkness. I couldn't make out the color for the third, but it felt familiar. This must be my own magic that Faust talked about.

Getting back on track with why I'm here I concentrated on how to make my new subordinate. Suddenly a menu popped up in front of me.

"What is this a video game?" After saying that I tried to press gender, but my finger just phased through it. What am I supposed to do? Use voice commands? Mentally press it? Imaging the Gender option being pressed in my mind did nothing. Lets give VC a shot.

"Gender!"

Nothing... Well ok. 'Closing' my eyes I imagined myself back in my room with my PC and how much simpler it would be to just use this. Letting out an exasperated sigh I 'opened' my eyes back up and in front of me was my PC!

Oh yeah, I'm in my mind. Using the mouse I clicked on gender and it brought me to another screen.

Clicking male, a males silhouette popped up on the right side of the screen. Ok were making progress.... Onto the next! Clicking Race brought me to a ton of options. This'll take awhile....

Holy shit there's more! Wanting to see more I clicked and was greeted with an abundance of options. There were things from mythology, anime, movies and Tv. You name it! There was one choice that caught my attention, fallen. How perfect would that be, a demon and a fallen angel pair. Choosing fallen I was caught completely off guard when a giant bipedal animal abomination popped up. Now that I’ve stopped and looked at it, these are the Fallen from How not to Summon a Demonlord.

Still that’s not what I wanted, at all. Going back to my choices I looked for fallen angel but sadly I couldn't find it. Giving up I chose angel.

Sweet! Clicking make your own I got many options that I don't feel like repeating so I'll only go over the important bit. First I gave my angel six jet black wings. Then I made it so that choosing this option they'll have a sign of corruption that will appear randomly on the character. Next I gave it all of the original powers and abilities of a normal angel. The last thing is that I just made it that their ears a slightly pointy. I named it True Fallen. Back to work...

After hours of work I finally made my perfect Angel! Now because I don't want to bore you with all of the extra details I'll just sum it up.

For height I went with 5'11 so he can reach things on top of the shelf. No I just always wanted to be 5'11. For eye color I chose amber. I gave him pale white skin, to match his hair. His hairstyle was stolen from Thor(pre-Ragnarok), but instead was a pale blonde color. The signs of corruption were shown as black streaks of hair randomly across his head.

Magic power was already given as an angel so he has light and holy magic. I also gave him an affinity for lightning magic. As for unique ability, I gave him something special. He can now disrupt the magic of anyone he looks at and predict movements with his right eye. These two ability's combined in his right eye change it. His amber eye changed to light blue, while the white of the eye changed to black. I've dubbed it The Unholy Eye.

For his clothes I chose Sabo's outfit. Instead of the blue shirt I made it grey, gave him black denim pants, got rid of Sabo's hat, goggles, and gloves. He has black leather sports boots too. I also gave him a ring of Yggdrasil, I renamed the ring of Ainz Ooal Gown. And for his background I made him good at cooking, cleaning, sewing, and just basic things. Not really sure if this will work or not but I programmed him to have knowledge of this new world were in. Of course he has his own free will if you were wondering.

All I need now is a name for him. Lucifer.... Simon... Hmm... Abel? I got it! His name is Simon Cain Morningstar. He doesn't have a middle name mind you. He has two first names! My late brother had two names so I did that in memory of him.

Finally opening my eyes I stood and saw Simon kneeling under me. With a smile on my face I looked down at him.

"Rise."

"Yes, father." He stood arms against his sides with a smile on his face. Might I mention he looks like the handsomest 20 year old in the world. "May we go search for the sins now, my liege." Walking past him I nodded.

Author's Notes:

This was mainly so I could introduce the NPC. Not really happy with how the chapter came out but, it is what it is.

Next time we meet the Mane Six!

Chapter Four: Take me to your leader

Taking some strawberries out of my inventory I threw some to Simon. While he ate his I pulled some more out for me. Walking to the entrance to get out of this cave that reeks of death, I could hear voices up ahead. Looking back to Simon he nodded signaling that he heard them too. We were right around the corner from the entrance. Peeking my head out I counted 15 pony guards in golden armor equipped with spears. Eight unicorns, four pegasus, and three normal ones. The weird thing is that they all look identical accept you can tell which gender is which.

"Miss Rarity can you point us in the direction you saw the colt fight the diamond dogs?" After the guard asked that Whitey walked in with 5 others.

"Yes, darling. Do be prepared for a ghastly sight. He... killed all of the diamond dogs." She pointed in my direction. I guess that's our que to come out. Quickly pulling my staff I walk out of the shadows along with Simon. Doing this caused all of the to jump. The guards quickly regained their composure and pointed their spears at us. Whitey looked terrified, not that I would blame her.

"What kind of monsters are you?"
"Stay back freaks!"
"Why are there hairless apes in here?"

As they continue to hurl insults at us, I didn't realize but I cast Despair Aura mixed with my own bloodlust. As you can imagine, that shut them up real good.

"You would be wise to not insult someone the first time you meet. It leaves a bad impression." I said in a cold, emotionless voice. "Now why have you come here?" Of course I knew why they came but they don't know that. A unicorn stepped forward, I'm guessing the captain of this little group, and spoke up.

"We came here to arrest the Diamond dogs responsible for foalnapping Miss Rarity. Now we have another goal and that is to take you in for the illegal use of dark magic. Even if you are a colt we'll be taking you to the Princesses," he said in a calm tone. When I looked into his eyes though I could tell he was nervous.

"And if I refuse?"

"Then we will take you by force," he said in a low tone trying to intimidate me.

"You are a fool if you think you can beat me," I said with a straight face flaring my magic a bit. He started to gather magic in his horn in an attempt to scare me. Foolish.

While we were staring each other down I caught a glimpse of a rainbow. Curios I looked behind him and saw a blue pony with a rainbow mane in athletic clothes flying towards me with a sour look on her face. Just as she was about to get in my face Simon spread his wings and flew to intercept her. Catching her by the throat she yelped in pain.

"What were you about to do?" Simon said with a smile on his face. Behind that smile I could see pure rage that was increasing by the second.

"I gonna teach that freak his pla-" was all she could get out before Simon started to choke her. "RAINBOW DASH!" her friends called out to her while running over. Simon just looked over and made the magical pressure in the room skyrocket.

Everyone except for the purple mare, and the captain dropped straight to the ground. I was perfectly fine of course. The purple mare however fell to her knees throwing up while the captain was still standing on shaky legs.

I continued to let Simon do as he wanted before I no longer found the situation amusing. “Simon, that is enough.” He looked back at me and dropped Rainbow Dash. Folding his wings back in they disappear, he then slightly bows before he takes his place behind me. Looking the captain straight in the eye, I continued,”I will allow you to bring us to these ‘princesses’ you speak of. Do not get overconfident. This will merely help me in the long run.”

We had to wait a couple of minutes before everyone got back up. The guards surrounded us wearily, then we left.

(Canterlot Castle)

Durning the trip no one dared to utter a word. I did however notice that the ponies were stealing glances at me. The purple one was the only one who openly stared at me.

The captain of the group knocked on the throne room doors.

“Princes Celestia we have brought the one who saved Rarity.”

We heard a ‘Enter’ then he opened the doors. The captain then moved to the side as did the rest of the guards. The six pony’s ran to the front of where they quickly hid behind the thrones. This left me and Simon at the entrance.

Directly across from us were two tall ponies the same type as Faust. One was blue with a mane and tail full of stars that blown in the nonexistent wind. She wore dark blue/black armor with a crescent moon in the middle of it. She carried a scythe that was longer then her. That’s saying a lot, she was about 6’0.

The one next to her was white mare. Her mane had light cerulean, light turquoise, very light cobalt blue, and pale heliotrope running across her head in lines. Which also flowed in the nonexistent wind. She wore medieval armor under clothing that had a picture of a sun on it. Her weapon was one I was all to familiar with. It had a long feather-shaped blade over a handle with several blue spheres encrusted within it and two feather-like ornaments near the base of the blade. The Winged Sword.

(Replace her sword with this)

Nobody said anything for a couple of minutes, we just stood there staring at each other. So I took the initiative.

“Hello there.”

“Die Demon!” The white one said. She had the same voice that answered earlier, must be Celestia.

Within the second I said that Celestia flew at me full speed, the winged sword aimed at my heart. Well at one of them anyway. Simon appeared to the front of me. His veins were bulging on the right side of his face. Suddenly Celestia lost speed, and started to fall to the ground.

Ah. Must be his Unholy eye.

Simon then ran up and kicked the sword out of her hand, knocking it to the other side of the room. The blue one started to fly at Simon but met the same fate as Celestia and fell down. Getting up Celestia went for the sword, while the blue one was attacking Simon.

“Got to get rid of that sword,” I muttered as time began to slow down when I took at step. Well this is strange. Walking up to Celestia she appears to be moving but very, very slowly. I’m moving so fast time is slowing down! Awesome!

In seconds I was standing above the sword. Time sped back up again and Celestia had a look of shock on her face. Picking up the sword my hand burst into purple flames. Ignoring the pain, I looked Celestia straight in the eyes.

“Greater Break Item.”

With that... The Winged Sword.. crumbled to dust.

In that moment Celestia lost the will to fight and fell down to her knees. Turning away from her I saw Simon... wait. This is how I died, thinking my opponent is down before they truly are. Looking back at Celestia I saw her back on her feet with a scowl in her face charging up a spell.

Extended my arm towards her I shot my darkness out. My darkness enveloped her horn and I pulled it back to me. Looking down in my hand was her horn. Ok she’s down for the count now. I mean she is on the ground crying her eyes out. Pretty sure that over with.

Luna, I heard her name because she introduced herself to Simon, let her guard down after she saw her sister for a few seconds. That was all Simon needed to end the fight. Kicking her in the side, cracking her armor, she flew straight into Celestia.

Simon appearing by my side had his eye focused on them. Both Luna and Celestia looked up at us in fear. I could have killed them but I think their related to Faust. Well I think—

“Whats that?” teleporting next to Luna I lifted her up by the neck so I could get a better view. Her skin was exposed from the kick Simon felt her. Armor cracked all along the left side of her body revealing something I was all to happy to see. On her left outer thigh there was a symbol of a serpent. I must’ve looked insane with the smile that was on my face. I might’ve resembled my older brother.

“Envy,“ having a hunch I looked over to Celestia and scanned her body on. Her dress was hiked up because of the way she was sitting, and guess what I found!

My smile only grew..

“Sloth!” she looked at me with fear evident on her face.

I threw Luna at her and cast Heal on them. Looking at their now confused faces I increased the magical pressure in the room.

“I am Zeldris, Lion Sin of Pride. I am here to do a favor for Faust, which is to collect the sins and stop the demons clan from taking over the world. You,” I pointed to Celestia “are the Sin of Sloth. And you,” pointing to Luna “are the Sin of envy.”

At this point they were both utterly confused, along with everyone else who were either still in the room or peering in from the throne room doors.

“Come at find me once you calm down. However if you have any intention to start another fight,” I then began to chuckle as I thought of the perfect line to say “I’m not gonna kill you. I’m just gonna hurt you really, really bad.” I said in a threatening manner.

Turning to Simon I nodded. He walked up and put a hand on my shoulder. I looked out the window and saw a town. Pass the town was the huge forest I woke up in. Perfect.

“You will know where to find me. Just try to not be as pathetic as you were today.” Out of the corner of my eye I saw that the unicorn guards where charging there magic. They never learn, I’ll just kill them next time I guess. “Greater teleportation.”

With that we where gone.

Author's Notes:

Sorry that it took awhile I’m dealing with some stuff irl. But besides that tell me if you enjoyed, give me some suggestions on what you would like to see, and tell me what I’m doing wrong! I’m also looking for a editor so yeah.

Listen to this song I’ve been listening to none stop!

https://youtu.be/XiVftgscvbw

Yeah I couldn’t think of a name for this chapter...

Just a little question to answer if you want to.
What sin are you? I’m Wrath

Chapter Five: The Smiling Monster

Appearing on the edge of the forest I made wings out of my darkness, while Simon spread wings. Flapping my wings I launch into the air with Simon right behind me. Floating in the air I look back at Simon to see him looking at me with a smile on his face.

"Keep a lookout for a spot to build our new home. Also, you can speak your mind around me. You are my creation so I value your opinion." His smile only grew wider once I said that and nodded in response.

We started to fly over the forest, and I have to say I saw a lot of weird creatures. However when I tried to land to get a closer look they only ran away in fear. I assume we are in the middle of the forest because I can’t see any more trees past a certain point looking forward. However, I do see a castle that looks abandoned but I'm not entirely sure. I raise my hand up to signal Simon to stop so we can look around to see if we can find any sentient life. As we were looking I heard rustling which is nothing new. Probably just an animal running away.

'Wait it just happened again,' in the same spot. Looking down I see a Zebra looking up at us.

"What are you looking at, zebra?" it wasn't meant to be threatening, just a simple question. I don't think the zebra thought of it as just a question... She got her knees and started spouting gibberish. looking at Simon he said, "She is speaking Zebrican."

Letting out a small 'ah' I flew down to the ground to land. Once I land she looks up at me with shock, fear and I think respect. "Why are you on the ground? Get up."

"O powerful God, what have you come here for?" judging by the voice and body structure it's safe to say it's a girl. She spoke in a whisper tone, I heard her perfectly because of my hearing though.

"I want you to tell me if that castle is abandoned." I tried to say this gently but I don't believe I succeeded in doing so.

"YES," she responded in a hurry while yelling. "That is the castle of two sisters, it is no longer inhabited."

"I appreciate your honesty.” With that said I flew to the castle with Simon right behind me.

Once we made it to the castle we flew above to get a better view of it. The throne room was visible from the giant hole on the roof. The castle itself was a mess. You could see holes everywhere you looked, nature ran rampant all over it, the castle looked as if it could have fallen apart at any moment.

“Look around for anything that might be valuable. Once you finish checking around, meet back up here.” I ordered Simon as we flew down from the opening in the roof, into the throne room. Simon took the side that had the symbol of the sun. So I took the side that had the moon.

So far I haven’t found anything that is worth mentioning, except for strawberries. There’s only one room left which I presume is the bedroom. Opening the door I was greeted with a giant bed. It was midnight blue and in the middle of it was a crescent moon. The bed looked brand new unlike the rest of the room which looked like the rest of the castle.

Searching the room I found a pile of gold coins, under the bed, that looks different from the ones I found in the dog cave. Putting it in my inventory I continued to look around.

Across from the bed, there was a small bookshelf. On top of it to the right, there was an old telescope that looked like it belonged on a pirate ship. A globe on the left, and a Scale of justice in the middle. The scale had a metal sun and moon that was in perfect balance.

Picking up a book it fell apart. Trying again I got the same result. Sighing I start to walk to the door only to stop. Turning back to the telescope I use Detect Magic. The magic radiating off of it was faint but I could still feel it. Curious I walked back to the bookshelf and picked up the telescope.

Tell you what, I was not expecting to hear a voice. Putting the telescope in my inventory I make my way back to the throne room to see Simon waiting for me.

“Did you find anything useful?” I question, hoping for good news.

“I couldn’t find anything of value. Everything in here is over thousands of years old.” He said with a neutral face. But he sounded disappointed going off the tone of his voice.

“It’s fine. I found some gold coins that are different from before and a telescope.” He just raises a brow in confusion as to why I would bring a telescope back. “Stand back in case this ‘Gar’ is foolish enough to attack us.” Warning Simon only confuses him more, which amused me slightly. He revealed his wings and got behind me, doing as I said.

“Gar, come here.”

Suddenly, some form of swirling black vortex opens up and I sense something coming through it. I stare at the portal until I see a figure emerge from it, once it was through the vortex collapsed on itself and I had a pony standing in front of me, another zebra in fact. He was wearing an outfit of what looked like some form of scale leather. It consisted of a buttoned vest, pants, and a wide-brim hat.

“Are you Gar?” I asked not wanting to stall as I kept my hand on my sword.

“Yes, are you the one who found the telescope?” He said in an emotionless tone.

“Yea, what is that thing?” I asked curiously.

“My token,” He said bluntly. “All Displaced have them. It is how we are summoned to new worlds by others like us. I don’t know more than that as it was only explained briefly to me in a letter from my older brothers.”

“Older brother huh,” I muttered. “So how does one become displaced, and what exactly do we do now?” I ask curiously.

“Brothers, I have two,” Gar kept up his emotionless stare. “And we either buy an item from someone that sends us across the multiverse or are sent by some greatly powerful thing.” He kept staring at me. “As far as what we do I don’t know. This is the first time I’ve been summoned.”

“I also have two brothers, one that is insane. He’s dead luckily.” Noticing I let out a little bloodlust I quickly got it under control. “The other is just like you, emotionless.” Simon stepped forward after I finished talking. I could tell, he was angry.

“You have nerves staring at my father's like that. I’ll give you three seconds to stop, or I will make you. ” He said in a low, threatening tone.

“Hush child,” Gar finally moved his gaze to Simon and I felt him release his own bloodlust, though more controlled and primal. “The adults are speaking.”

Simon didn’t hesitate and shot at Gar but he moved out of the way above and behind Simon. I saw it happen clear as day but to Simon, it was as if Gar vanished. I saw the newcomer’s arm shift revealing muscle fiber and his hand became metal claws.

Gar then slammed his hand into the back of Simon’s head and his face into the stone floor, forming a small indent to form. He easily held Simon while still keeping his emotionless expression.

He then turned to me, “Why must children jump the gun?” He said as he got up and made his way back towards me.

Unknown to Gar, Simon got up dazed. He had blood dripping from his mouth along with small cuts all over his face. He then raised his arm and brought his other hand up to brace it. The air around Simon started to become distorted, he then yelled “Black Lightning!” The lightning struck Gar and her turned around merely as if weren't even a tickle.

Gar looked back to Simon, never showing emotions, and slammed his head back into the ground creating a small spider web crack this time.

“Be quiet,” He demanded, showing a little sign of annoyance. “Now back to you,” He looked at me. “You look like a character from the anime Seven Deadly Sins but different. Are you a side character or a look-alike? Maybe some kind of relation to Melodias? I never actually got past the first arc.”

Walking past him I knelt down to where Simon was and cast 'Heal'. He fluttered awake and we locked eyes. “Never do that again. I can protect myself, but after this is all over we are training.” I say in a soft voice. “Rest now.” He then fell back to sleep.

Looking back to Gar I let my bloodlust run loose mixed with despair aura and looked him in the eyes. “I am Zeldris, Lion Sin of Pride. The one true Overlord,” I could see his mask crack didn't even under my pressure this guy had guts and I liked it. “You will never touch my family again if you do… You die.”

“I will not hesitate to defend myself when threatened,” He said flatly. “So you also have the Overload’s power set and probably a few others. As for me, I can morph my entire body, have strength, speed, and intelligence. I am majorly emotionally inhibited but not immune to them either. I am Gar, The Smiling Monster of the Everfree,” He said as he shifted his entire body to a three-meter tall form with four eyes and a big toothy grin.

*BOOM*

Breaking their staring contest both the demon and the parasyte amalgamation looked over in the direction of Ponyville. Zeldris was frustrated with himself for not noticing the dark magic in the air sooner. If only he wasn’t preoccupied with Gar, he could have prevented it from happening.

Turning back to Gar he spoke, “It seems that while we were talking, demons showed up. They are currently attacking the town on the edge of the forest, Ponyville I believe it’s called.” Gar’s eyes widened as he heard what Zeldris said.

After Zeldris finished talking Gar ran as fast as he could to Ponyville, surprising Zeldris. As Gar made his way through the forest, Zeldris flew above and saw smoke rising from the town. Gar didn’t merely run through the forest but bulldozed anything in his path with raw strength and speed, cutting a path straight from the ancient castle to the nearby town leaving not even a stump in the ground. Zeldris actually had a bit of a hard time keeping pace, since he was new at flying.

Zeldris was simply fascinated by the amount of pure physical strength that the monster displayed and wondered, exactly what other abilities he had. He never mentioned having magic in their brief introduction but that made him wonder what exactly was he capable of and what kind of magic he did possess if it could be awakened.

“What is going on here?” Gar said as he looked at the burning town. The buildings were on fire with a purplish-black flame. “Where are all the ponies at?” He looked around. “What do the ponies for this world even look like?” Gar’s attention turned to Zeldris who landed next to him.

“The ponies are anthropomorphic like your zebra form,” Zeldris said, not bothering to look at Gar. Roars could be heard from the other side of the town, catching Gar’s attention. Zeldris turning to Gar spoke, “You fascinate me, Gar. Without me telling you to help the ponies you, you instantly ran out of the castle upon hearing the news of the attack.” Sticking out his hand it engulfed in a green flame. It shocked Zeldris at first but he just guessed it was his original magic. “You seem to be a ‘hero’ type. In my time I have seen many heroes fall. In fact, many of them were slain by my hand.” Pausing Zeldris adorned a wicked smile. ”I would like to offer you a chance to gain power. Do you want to make a deal?”

“What does this deal entail for me?” Gar said as he turned to the town. “Because I don’t need anything that well indentures me to your services for an extended period of time.”

“It’s simple really. If you save the town, you’ll have earned my respect. Which then leads to you getting the power. But if you die,” Zeldris’ smile only grew wider. “I get your soul.”

“I think you’ll take my soul even if I die and don’t take your deal,” Gar said, a little annoyed with a raised eyebrow, “Am I right?”

“I may be a demon, and I may be cruel,” The air grew tense as Zeldris increased the magical pressure surrounding them. “But I never break a deal.”

“Very well,” Gar reached out and took Zeldris’s hand.

A dark green magic circle appeared on the ground beneath them and started to glow. “The deal is set,” Zeldris said as the circle disappeared. Spreading his wings he spoke, “Do not expect help if you are being beaten.” He said as he flew into the sky and cast Perfect Unknowable.

Gar made his way through the town and kept on the lookout for any that may need his help or any enemies. “Mmmm… I would’ve expected to see bodies lying around in a few places,” he commented. “Where are all the ponies? Do you have any kind of idea what we’re dealing with?”

Gar waited for Zeldris to answer, but never got a reply. However, Zeldris was focused on who was burning the town. He knew that it wasn’t a lower class demon or else the flames would have been orange. No, it had to be a higher class, he could feel their darkness. Going back to where Gar was he saw him surrounded by one red demon and 3 blue demons.

Gar’s eyes were shifting back and forth between the four beasts that surrounded him. He knew these four wear just small fries and that someone else had to be controlling them. The demons suddenly all pounced but Gar countered by slicing them to shreds by morphing his arms into blades, First a blue went high but didn’t last as Gar extended his arm constricting the demon and then quickly grew blades and whipped it back. The other blues fell the same way. The red demon started to back away and Gar morphed his arm into a clawed hand then shot it at the red grabbing onto its head and applied pressure until it popped. Gar pulled his arm back and held his hand up to his face allowing him to sniff the lump of flesh in his grip. He steadily opened his fang maw and devoured the red demon piece in his grasp before consuming the rest of the body. Gar then turned to the blue demons and ate them as well, this action actually surprised Zeldris a bit.

Zeldris couldn’t believe that Gar would throw his life away like that. In Seven Deadly Sins, just a cup full of red demon blood was enough to either give you a power boost or explode. Zeldris, curious about what was going to happen, flew down and waited.

Gar leaned over and started coughing. His body was morphing on its own to his surprise. All of a sudden smoke burst from his body, enveloping him in a smoke cloud. Once the smoke was settled it revealed that Gar transformed into an even more monstrous creature. Gar now had purple skin covering his whole body. The irises in his eyes went from a pitch-black to bright yellow. The sclera was now pitch black too. On top of his head, he had sprouted two ridged horns that were a deep crimson color and in the back of his head, there was a coxcomb-like feature. Cracks ran all over his body, most prominent under his four eyes. His already sharp and long claws got even sharper, and even longer. He also had webbed hands and feet.

Gar let out a breath and steam came from his mouth, he held up a hand and flex his fingers testing his dexterity. “Not the best-tasting meal I’ve had, but a satisfying one nonetheless,” Gar looked at Zeldris. “Can you explain why my body looks like it does after consuming those demons? I know in the show humans either blew up or got a power-up. So why do I look like this?”

At first, Zeldris had a face of disbelief but quickly regained his composure when Gar faced him. After hearing Gar’s question the only thing Zeldris could think of was Hawk. “It seems that by being in my presence you have obtained your own magic power. Now, I have seen a power like this before. It was called Trasnspork.” Gar just looked at Zeldris like he was stupid. “It is the power to take the abilities and appearance of anything you eat. The way to turn back is by taking a crap. Oh, and I know you love your new power’s name.” Zeldris said as he chuckled.

“Do you think we should head towards town hall?” Gar deadpanned. “It would seem like that would be the most likely place for the town to gather in mass during an assault of this scale?”

“Go and do whatever you want,” Zeldris said as he flew into the air. “I’ll just be up here enjoying my entertainment.”

Gar rolled his eyes and took off toward a cloaked figure that was directing the lower level demons. Suddenly a lanky shadow appeared and sliced Gar in half with a large grey scythe. The monster’s body fell to either side of the street. The shadow landing revealing it to be a grey demon. It looked at Gar’s pieces with a tilled head and scratched the top of its head with a single finger before shrugging and starting to walk off.

Meanwhile, Gar’s halves opened their eyes and they started to shrink and grow back the missing pieces of their bodies. There were now two Gars to Zeldris’s amusement. While the grey demon back was turned both of the Gars pounced at him. They started to consume it while the demon was doing its best to shake them off. Its struggle was in vain as the Gars ate it whole. The two then fused back together and Gar returned to his full height. Many more cracks appeared on Gar. His lower half was now replaced with pitch bitch black skin instead of the purple.

Purple blood dripped from Gar’s teeth as he turned to the cloaked figure once more. “What are your plans?” Gar turned arms into whips and flung them in the direction of the figure but two new demons. A copper and an orange demon sprang up from nowhere and grabbed onto Gar arms then proceeded to rip them off. As the demons chuckled, Gar fell to his knee and looked at the demons with his own chuckle. Suddenly Gar’s arms sprang to life growing a maw of serrated teeth and eyeballs to the demons' shock the limbs tore them apart and consumed them before returning to Gar’s body.

Gar’s body once again burst into a cloud of smoke, changing due to Transpork. Once the smoke settled Gar could be seen, panting with black blood coming out of his mouth. Zeldris wasn’t sure if it was his blood or the demon's blood. Gars’ new appearance consisted of two new cone-shaped horns on both sides of his head at eye level. His muscle mass increased. He also had green spots over his arms.

“No! No! No! No!” The cloaked figure started to scream. “How can my demons have possibly died to you lower-class— whatever you are! I trained them myself! Me, Sith one of the Six Knights of Black.”

Gar started to approach Sith, but Zeldris landed next to him and put a hand on his shoulder. “This one is my problem, she deserves a True Death.” Once he said that Sith fell to the ground lifeless.

Gar merely shrugged and looked down at the demon’s corpse. “I’ve already eaten five of the lower class demons, do you mind if I have that one as well?”

“I don’t think that would be wise. But if you want to go ahead. However,” Zeldris said as he walked up and placed a hand on the demon. “The soul is mine.” He said as he pulled the soul out and ate it.

“I am a creature of flesh and don’t possess that skill, yet,” Gar said as he then mercilessly devoured the demon on the ground. Gar licked the blood off his teeth suddenly, darkness crept over his body and then formed into what appeared to be the shape of an egg. Zeldris looked on with a slight smirk at this. Then Gar burst forth forcing the darkness to disperse around him and then came back and formed a swirling vine pattern over most of his body. The most predominant darkness was a pattern of small stars on his upper left pectoral muscles.

“Well, you seem to have become part demon. It is now time for me to fulfill my part of the deal.” Zeldris said as he became more serious. “Search my mind! Choose a worthy weapon for the one I behold! Memory make-magic: Sacred Treasure!”

After Zeldris finished talking a light enveloped both him and Gar searching through their minds. The light shone even brighter before disappearing revealing a floating spear. It was in fact Spirit Spear Basquias. “You have surprised me again and again! Becoming part demon was expected, but becoming the Fairy King, truly entertaining."

"This turn of events has been most fruitful," Gar gave a wicked grin that even creeped Zeldris out just a bit. "Perhaps due to the effects of living in the forest back home has something to do with this Fairy King title."

All of a sudden the duo were hit with a massive black fireball causing an explosion that sent them rocketing in opposite directions. Gar was flung up against a purple dome. His face was mangled with two eyes missing, another hanging on by a thread of flesh, several teeth missing, and a rather sizable hole in his neck.

He looked around with his only remaining eye to see what he hit and came to see a very frightened purple pony unicorn. The little one was shaking with fear as he turned to look at her as his face and neck regenerated.

"Fear not little one, I am here to help stop this. Is there anypony missing Twilight?" Gar calmly as to not rouse any more suspicion.

Twilight was scared when the demon first started to talk, but it seemed like he wanted to help. “U-um Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Applebloom aren’t in here. We’ve been calling out to them but they haven’t answered yet! Please go and save them!” She pleaded with the monster.

Gar nodded before speaking. “I will. I’ll bring them back to you unharmed.” He said before jumping up into the air to look around. Much to his surprise, Basquias floated beneath him so he was now hovering. Searching the area he came upon something truly horrifying. Sweetie Belle and Applebloom were lying in the ground unconscious. While Scootaloo was pinned to the ground by a blue demon with his foot on her back. The blue demon grabbed her wings and pulled. He pulled until they came out of the socket. Gar seemingly snapped.

A dark aura surrounded gar as he flew to the blue demon on Basquias. The blue demon seemed to have recognized Gar to be the monster from earlier so he started to run away. In the blink of the eye Gar appeared and cut the legs off of the demon. The demon screened only to have it beak slammed shut by Gar. With the same hand, Gar ripped the beak off of the demon. Gar was about to pierce the demon's heart with Basquias but then the demon tried to save himself by shooting hellfire from its mouth burning Gar.

Or so he thought.

Gar then brought Basquias down into the demon's head and twisted. In a blind rage, Gar looked around and lashed out at the first demon he saw. Gar tried to spit the demon in half. Keyword on tried. The demon raised his armored hand and stopped his attack with its pinky. Gar then went for an uppercut but his hand never connected. The demon pulled out his sword and cut Gar’s arm off, then threw it away from the fight. Having enough of this pointless fight the demon backhanded Gar so hard he snapped out of his trance.

“I’ll let you off this time. Though, next time” Zeldris said as he adorned a wicked smirk. "I won’t hesitate to kill you.” After he said that Zeldris vanished from Gar’s vision only to reappear in a couple of seconds with the CMC in his arms. “This is the perfect time to test out Basquias’s seventh form.”

Gar shook his head as he got to his feet and looked around as Basquias appeared next to him then to his missing limb. “Where is my arm?” He looked around and then a snake similar to the form he took in his homeworld came out of the grass and latched on to Gar’s shoulder then shifted into his arm once more. Gar was amazed at the thing his body was doing and wondered if he could activate it willingly. But that would have to wait as he walked over to the little pegasus.

“Poor little one,” Gar looked at the filly with sadness. “Why do I feel so strongly about these ponies? First in my world and now, here.” Gar held up his hand to the spear. “So strange that I know what I must do, Basquias: Seventh Configuration Moon Rose,” The spear changed into a giant white rose and leaned over Scootaloo. “Droplet of Life.” A drop of liquid hit the little filly and as she began to glow all her wounds began to heal until she was completely restored.

“Hmm… interesting,” Gar looked to Zeldris. “What all can this spear do?” he said as he picked Scootaloo up.

Zeldris quickly cast heal on the other two ponies before speaking. “So far only six configurations were shown to my knowledge. You have already used the Seventh moon rose, it allows you to heal any wound. You can only use it a certain number of times in a row before you need to collect more mana, or since you're now part demon, soul.” When Zeldris said that Gar slightly smiled before going to a neutral expression. “The first configuration is the original form of Basquias. Its second configuration is Guardian which takes the form of a gigantic hornet-like incest with tremendous speed. Configurations three and four, I don’t know. You’ll have to find out. The fifth configuration is Yggdra Armor, which is a suit of armor that is golden and has large claws. The ninth configuration is death thorn. Basquias turns into a myriad of vines, which will kill anything that it cuts. The last form I know of is the tenth configuration Emerald Octo, which the previous owner usually used. Basquias turns into green vines or as some people say, tentacles, that can wrap around the owner to protect them. Or it can attack.” Zeldris said to his surprise. He didn’t think he knew that much about it. It must have all come back when the magic searched his mind.

“Hmm..” Gar sprouted two tendrils and used them to grab the other to fillies and placed them on his back and he did the same with Scootaloo. “Thank you for beating some sense into me. I don’t understand why I’ve been getting so emotional. I barely have them but when I do especially when I get angry I lash out violently.” Suddenly a huge set of butterfly wings with a rainbow color of lights toward the end shot from Gar back on either side of the fillies. “Was not expecting that,” Gar said in shock as he started to float effortlessly off the ground. “Or this.”

Laughter filled the air when Gar sprouted wings. “I don’t even know what you are anymore!” Zeldris said between laughs. Gar just looked at him with an emotionless stare. “Oh what was that thing again? A token? How do I make one?” Zeldris said as Gar floated down to the down to the ground slowly.”

“A token is an object that you choose to represent yourself along with a phrase. You put your energy in it and toss it.” He explained as they started to walk to townhall. “I don’t really know much more.”

Zeldris then had a great idea. Sticking out his hand he looked at his palm. “Create Greater Item.” With that said a small object appeared in his hand. It was an earring that resembled an eye.

Pushing his magic power into the magic eye he spoke,”I am the Lion sin of Pride. Call upon me and I will respond if I feel like it. If you seek power, we can make a deal!” Zeldris tossed the token into the air and a portal opened up. Sucking in the eye Zeldris could see it split over and over again until the portal closed. The original eye appeared back in Zeldris hand. Turning to Gar, Zeldris smiles. “You amuse me. If you wish to, you can call upon me any time my dear, whatever you are.” Zeldris said as he looked Gar up and down tossing him the Token

“I am Gar nothing more nothing less,” He said in a simple tone. “How about we take these three back to the others?” Gar looked over his shoulder to the sleeping fillies. “Their older sisters are probably very worried about them?”

Continuing their walk they made it to the town hall in no time.

“Twilight,” Gar yelled to the purple pony. “We have Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo!” Twilight peeked her head out of town hall to see the demon she talked to and Zeldris. A shiver went down her spine as she saw him. Walking out slowly she avoided eye contact with Zeldris and made her way over to Gar.

“Thank you, Thank you, thank you so much!” Twilight screamed as she burst into a crying mess along with three other ponies. Zeldris, not one for anything having to do with family, tapped Gar’s shoulder and pointed back to the old castle. Nodding they both flew off.

On their flight back, Zeldris remembered something important he forgot to tell Gar. “Gar, as the fairy king you will now also have the magical ability called Disaster. It is capable of exercising complete control over life and death, by which the user can elevate or diminish the natural state of something.”

“Hmm… interesting,” Gar rubbed his chin and then stopped abruptly, as did Zeldris. There, in front of the two was a tall blonde haired man in a black and silver suit wearing a red hooded coat. He had golden amber eyes and he was just standing there in mid-air. “Who are you?”

“Just a passerby,” The man looked at the duo and started to clap his hands. “Good job stopping the demons by the way.”

“Just a passerby, don’t make me laugh.” Zeldris spat. He was on high alert. He hasn’t had his guard up since his brother was still alive. “Your power is almost comparable to mine. You may survive if I get serious. So, who are you.” Zeldris said as he started emitting bloodlust.

“Boy, you best calm down before I get serious,” the man placed his hands in his pockets. “Like I said I was passing by. I never said I was in this world while doing so,” His eyes locked on Zeldris. “You’ve got a lot of never releasing your blood lust at me like that. A whelp of only a few thousand years and you think you’re a big shot,” the man said a quick chant and pulled out a dual handled key looking sword and pointed at Zeldris. “But if you want to fight me then I won’t stop you. It’s rare that I ever get a challenge these days. But know that you’ll die without even seeing my true power.”

“Who are you?” Gar asked.

Ignoring Gar’s question, the man and Zeldris continued to look at each other. Zeldris then started laughing before speaking. “You took the words right out of my mouth,” Zeldris said as he dismissed his bloodlust. “But I cannot reveal my true power just yet. The supreme being and Demon king would now my location. And I can’t have that now can I? However, once my situation is sorted out. I will crush you.”

“You can crush me,” the man said in Zeldris’s ear but he was still standing in front of him. “I’ve been around the block and through the Void kid and you would never stand a chance in all of the omniverse against me. But I’m a sporting guy. I 'm doing something for you, Wanna make a deal?”

Zeldris stuck out his hand waiting to accept. The man reached down to shake it. In a split second, Zeldris had his hand on the man's throat. Going wide-eyed the man went to grab Zeldris’S hand but Zeldris choked him. Looking him in the eye he spoke. “That is my line.” Zeldris said angrily. “I would never stand a chance? Who decided that?” Zeldris said as he crushed the man's throat.

Suddenly the man was gone and Zeldris was holding nothing in his hand. He looked over and saw the man’s eyes were crimson with a six-pointed black sun pattern on them.

“I decided,” The man said with nothing but snark. Zeldris had never encountered this before. “Like I said kid you don’t know my power.”

Zeldris internally was extremely confused but he kept his composure. “I suspected as much,” Zeldris said as he wiped some dust off his clothes. “A being with your power killed by me in my first, weakest form? Laughable.” After saying that Zeldris stuck out his hand which ignited with green fire. “Back to what you were saying before, Do you wanna make a deal?”

“If you can guess my name I will give one power but you will not know its name?” The man said as he held out his left hand as it blackens into an all-consuming black. “Are these terms acceptable?”

Grabbing his hand a dark green magic circle appeared under them. “The deal is set.” Zeldris then started to fly circles around the man looking for clues. “Blonde hair… amber eyes… and a red coat.” Zeldris had an idea of who he is. Just need to confirm one last thing. A glint of light from his right arm hit Zeldris's eye confirming it was metal! Zeldris was about to speak but-

“Your Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood,” Gar said with a bored tone. Zeldris just looked back at him and mouthed ‘Your a bitch’ before turning back to Edward.

Pointing back to Gar, Zeldris had a slight smirk. “What he said.”

“Wait a moment you can’t be. Edward Elric?,” Gar looked at Edward in shock, who was smirking.

“Been a long time hasn’t it baby brother,” Edward said to Gar. Zeldris looked from Gar to Edward with just as much shock before turning to Edward one final time. “You win dick head.” Edward held up a hand and shot crimson lighting at Zeldris who started to struggle as he felt his body being remade until the pain suddenly stopped. “There, you have your power. I must go now. I just wanted to say congratulations on your first summons Gar. To end the contract simply say ‘our business is done’ Zeldris. One last thing,” Edward tossed a silver alchemist pocket watch to the Lion Sin of Pride. “My token doubles as a communicator for any who have one and it can send small items across the void, do use it wisely.” A swirling portal opens behind Edward. “Good luck both of you.” He said as he disappeared into the portal.

“How the hell,” Gar asked in shock.

“I didn’t get to give him my token,” Zeldris stated matter of factly.

"I don't think he needs it," Gar stated.

Looking at Gar Zeldris continued. “It’s been fun, Gar. I hope you call upon me when something interesting is going on. Or if there is a foe you can’t beat I’ll help you out, and just for you, I’ll do it for free! ‘Our business is done.’” After saying that a portal opened up similar to Ed’s.

“It would seem so, Zeldris I must warn you my brother is the same man he was back home, but he is also changed. He was not afraid to act on things,” Gar looked at him in the eyes and Zeldris knew he was telling the truth. “If you fight him, you will die over and over again,” Gar looked at his portal. “Do call me again. Demons are quite tasty and I’d love to be a part of the sins,” Gar chuckled. “Goodbye my Friend” he held up his hand.

“If you like demons, just wait until the angels show up! I could eat their souls, and you could also eat their bodies!” Zeldris and Gar both laughed. “Well my friend, I’ll see you later,” Zeldris said as he shook Gar’s hand.

Gar nodded and leapt into the portal. It then closed and Zeldris looked down at the pocket watch. “A whole new world of possibilities!” He then looked back to where the portal had opened and he thought he saw the symbol of the crimson boar.

Can you guess what Ed gave Zeldris?

Chapter Six: Welcome to my Home!

“Who are you?” A man asked as he paced in front of me.

I look up at him then back to the ground. He apparently doesn’t like my response. Walking behind me he tightens the chains around my wrist. After that, he hits me in the head hard enough that I lost consciousness for a couple of seconds.

“Who. Are. You.” The man asked once more, with a more serious tone. He repositions himself back in front of me when he asked.

“Zak Law...” I answered under my breath never taking my eyes off of the ground. He grabbed my head and forced it up so we were making eye contact. He then kneed me in the stomach so hard I coughed up saliva. I fell to the ground clutching my stomach.

“Wrong answer, now I’m done playing nice with you. If you don’t respond the proper way you’ll be locked in here for two more weeks.” He said as he put his shoe on my head, digging his heel down. As he talked he grew a sadistic smile. “Now, who are you?”

Looking at him all I could see was a demon. I don’t wanna do this anymore... I just don’t want to be here...

“I’m the Judge.” I said while silently crying, head hanging low. He then began to laugh like the manic he is.

Going to get up he stopped laughing, which sent shivers down my spine. Looking up at him his eyes were cold and his expression was unreadable. “I never said you could leave.”

“But y-“ was all I could get out before he kicks me in the stomach. And kicks. And kicks. The kicking goes on for what seems hours. When he’s done he spits on me and walks out the door, followed by a clicking noise.

It was that moment that broke me...

Waking up in an unfamiliar place is unsettling. But waking up in an unfamiliar place and having a nightmare is really spooky. Looking around I calmed down as I remember the events from yesterday. Laying back down in Luna’s old bed I let out an exasperated sigh.

When I got out of bed I went to the throne room expecting to find Simon, which I did not. It’s still early so I can’t blame him. So instead I sat in the middle of the room and checked out what my new power could be.

Entering my mindscape I could see that there were now four bars of color. The one that I couldn’t make out before was perfectly visible. It was lime green and burned like a fire. The one below it was also burning like a fire but it was black, with silver streaks in it.

Something about this power is... ominous..

I don’t know what Gar’s older brother gave to me but I can work with it.

Exiting my mindscape Simon is still not in the throne room. Welp time to go wake him up. Getting up I go to the only other bed that is left in the castle.

Opening the door to Celestia’s old room I found Simon sleeping spread out all across it. Thinking of the perfect idea I make a finger gun and move in front of him. Poking him in the cheek gets no reaction.

“If you don’t wake up I’ll shoot!” I whisper yell at him.

No response.

“I mean it!”

He rolls over. I chuckled under my breath so as not to alarm him. I correct my aim. Casting Create Water at him a small magic circle takes place on my finger. Then water comes out spraying him more violently than I thought it would, whatever.

“What the.. AHHHHHH! IT'S COLD! STOPPPP!” He screamed at me as soon as the water sprayed him. I erupted into laughter and canceled the spell. Clutching my sides didn’t help with how hard I was laughing.

“Was that really necessary,” he says with a small frown. “You just ruined my bed, I really liked it.” His frowned deepened as he spoke.

Walking over I pat him on the back. “Oh quit your
moping,” I said with a genuine smile. “I’ll get you an even bigger and better bed! But before that, we need to train.” I said seriously. He looked down at the ground when I said that last part. “Don’t feel bad. He was stronger than you and had more experience. But when we’re done you should be able to beat him into the ground. Gate.”

In front of us, a blackish-purple portal opened up. Gesturing to it, Simon got up and walked towards it. “Let’s do this.” He said as he entered the gate.

Walking into the gate I was greeted with white. Just pure white. You see the gate had no destination. I read somewhere that when you go into a gate with no destination you’ll go to space where time doesn’t pass.

While Simon was looking around I dashed at him and kicked him in the back, sending him flying. “Now this won’t be easy. I will break you over and over again. I will teach you as best as I can while also training myself.” I said in a booming voice so he could hear me. “Now come at me!”

Simon crouched down and dashed at me. Extending my hand I went to grab his head, but he extended his wings and stopped himself before I could grab him. Twisting in the air he went to kick at my head. Bring my arm up I blocked and threw him away.

He closed his eyes and brought his hands up. Curious, I waited for him. After a couple of seconds, pitch-black lightning danced around his body. ”Black lightning!” he yelled. I waited for it to hit. Nothing came. He had a bewildered expression on his face. I went to speak but was interrupted when a black lighting bolt hit me from above.

He ran towards me after that and tried to punch me in the smokescreen. What he didn’t know was that he was punching the air. I dodged out of the way of the lightning bolt and walked behind Simon. As the smoke cleared he looked around until he saw me in his old spot.

Giving me a disapproving stare he spoke. “I thought you said no holding back? How come I’m not dead! Fight me for real.” He screamed at me.

Sighing I disappeared from his sight and punched him in the gut. Gaining him no time to recover I kicked him in the side and launched him away from me. Simon, looking around saw me before I disappeared again. I got behind him with a fist raised and unleashed my intent to kill him, just enough to spook him.

He turned around and went pale when he saw me.

Stopping my punch I pat him on the shoulder. “Well, that’s enough of that. Now work on your magic, and I’ll be around to help when you need it.” I said as I walked past him.

“Oh before that,” I said, turning around. “Search my mind! Choose a worthy weapon for the one I behold! Memory-make magic: Sacred Treasure!” Just like before with Gar, both me and Simon were enveloped in a bright light. When the light went down we were greeted by a sword.

It was an old sight, Durandal from highschool dxd. The Durandal is a uniquely-shaped broadsword with a blue blade and a golden edge. The sword has a semicircular guard on the left side of the handle that extends to the bottom just above the pommel, with a small extension on the right side of the handle.

“Ah yes, Holy Sword Durandal. I’m sure you’ll have fun taming her.” I don’t think Simon heard me. As soon as he saw the sword he was entranced by it. Welp we have some serious work to do!

Training was indeed most fruitful...

Well you’ll find out what I learned later. Back to it.

Exiting the gate we appeared back in the old castle and it was just like we left it. We trained for about a year and half, I’m pretty sure. Simon already knew the plan, so we flew out. Flying to the front of the castle I stood back and Simon stepped forward.

“Triple Maximize Magic: Black Lightning!” Simon yelled, unlike before the lighting strike was immediate. Incorporating Yggdrasil techniques also increased his strength. Instead of one bolt, three came down. And because he widened it, he completely obliterated the castle.

Hovering up to him, I put my hand on his shoulder. “I wonder how Gar would react to getting hit with that.” Simon laughed weakly before floating down to the ground to gather more magic.

Flying down to the spot where the castle was, I stood in the middle. “Well this is uneven, can’t have that.” I said as I looked around. I started to run around the place. I kept running and picking up speed. Before I knew it I created a huge tornado. Stopping, the ground was now fully even. With a proud smirk on my face I made my way back to Simon.

Picking up Simon I flew over the little ravine and put him down. Walking over to the old bridge I stomped and it fell into the ravine. Taking a couple of steps back I steadied my breathing. Sticking an arm out I spoke. ”Create Fortress!” A white magic circle grew on the ground until it became huge. A beam of light shot into the air making me look away. When the light show was over I was astonished.

In front of us was an outpost that you could walk into. It had two paths, one that went to the tower's doors. And the other that replaced the old bridge was a path around the tower. Water filled the ravine, that was now a river. While a little waterfall was coming off from the side of the tower.

The rest I can’t describe... (I’m bad at describing things if you haven’t noticed)

“It’s beautiful...”

“It truly is. I replied back to Simon as he stared in awe. Flying to the castle I opened the doors. I was greeted with the throne room. Walking towards the throne I noticed that the room was decorated with art and little statues. They also had a picture of me and Simon, weird.

“And now we wait.” I muttered to myself as I sat on the throne.

Author's Notes:

Ok new chapter! I really just wanted to get Zeldris a place to stay, and it was a good trading chapter. Tell me if you liked that fight scene! I was half asleep while making it.

Because I already asked you guys which base he should have here’s one more thing for you! Click me!

Please tell me if you spot any mistakes! Thank you. Pretty soon I will make a story for Zeldris’ brothers!

Chapter Seven: How very slothful of you..

Author's Notes:

Sorry if there are any big mistakes, I only went over it twice. Hopefully it’s still readable.

As we wait for them to arrive, we have a look around.

The tower is made up of 3 floors. The first being having the throne room, a waiting room, a bathroom, and no way to get up beside a teleportation circle. However I have connected the ring of Yggdrasil to the tower, so I can now move freely within it. On the second floor, there is a bridge that connects to another section of the tower.

This was my bedroom, along with Simons next to it. It also had three other master bedrooms. Each equipped with their own private bathroom. It also had a lounge area. The little tower now dubbed ‘The Finger’ had a basement too. I plan on using it as a war room, and a serious talk room.

The second floor has a lot of bedrooms. I’m guessing for servants. There is a dining room. A third of the floor is for the baths. One side is for men the other for women. On the third floor, there were kitchens, buffet tables, and all kinds of food-related stuff. Half of the floor was storage though.

After the tour, I returned to the throne room, while Simon was in the kitchen making a meal.

“We have all those bedrooms, but no servants. Why don’t I make some?” I said to myself as I walked to my throne and sat down. Raising my hand I spoke, ”Summon 8th Tier Undead.” A dark red magic circle appeared in the middle of the throne room. Twelve mummies came out of it.

All of the mummy’s looked the same with piercing red eyes. They were standing with their arms by their side. The one in the back looked to be the leader as he was the only one with clothing. He had on a black fedora and a black trench coat. He was also kneeling.

“Kneel!” The one in the back yelled at the mummies. “I am truly sorry milord for their stupidity. I will train them to become the best butlers you have ever had.” He said in a smooth voice. Something you would not expect from a mummy.

“It is quite alright. I didn’t expect that I would summon mummies.” When I said that his body slumped. “It’s not a bad thing. This relationship will be one of respect. I will accommodate all of your needs, and give you more than you can imagine.” I got up and opened my arms wide. “All you need to do is pledge your life to me. Now, what are your names?” I said as I sat back down. I put one leg over the other and rested my head on my fist.

“We have no names. We would be honored if you would name us.” The head of the mummies spoke.

“You seem to be the best choice for head butler. From now on you’ll be known as James.” When I said that a maroon aura enveloped his body, before subsiding. Gazing over the rest of the mummy, another caught my attention. This one was glaring at James but in a competitive way. “And you, you will be known as Mubby. James’s assistant.” He started to glow in a dark pink aura before it subsided as it did with James.

“I thank you for the name ‘James’ I will forever be known by,” James said with glee. Mubby only nodded his head in appreciation.

I was about to continue but I got a pop-up. Yes, a pop up like you get in a video game.

After I read it, another pop up appeared next to it. This time it showed pictures of the six ponies from before and a human. Well he had pointy ears and a fang so a humanoid

“Yes.” I then turned my attention to my new servants. “Out. Expect for you, James.” They all dispersed. James came and stood by my side at the throne.

‘Simon’

‘Yes?’

‘Come at once.’

With that Simon appeared next to me using the ring. He had on a pink apron which he quickly took off and gave it to one of the mummy’s that were exiting the room. Once all of the mummies were gone the door opened by itself to reveal our guests.

“Welcome to my humble abode!” I welcomed them with open arms. I received a smile from whitey and the pink one. The purple one looked down along with the butter one. The humanoid, the farmer, and the rainbow one glared at me. “Come, come. We have much to discuss.” I got up and motioned them the common area. “Simon, go make us tea if they have any,” I whispered to him. That just left Me and James with the ponies.

We made it to the common area without so much as a word being said. Sitting down in a chair that viewed the whole room I waited for them to get comfortable. “So any questions? Two per person.” That made the purple one and the pink one perk up. “But before that what are your names? My name is Zeldris as you know.”

“My name is Pinkamena Diane Pie! But you can call me Pinkie Pie or Pinkie!” The pink one now known as pinkie Yelled at me.

“My name is Twilight Sparkle. I’m Princess Celestia's star pupil.” Twilight said thankfully at a normal volume.

“My name is Rarity, darling. Thank you for saving me from those wretched diamond dogs.” She said in a posh accent. So far she seems to be the only one who isn't completely terrified of me, besides Pinkie.

Gazing over I see the one that tried to attack me back in the cave. “My name is Rainbow Dash! Fastest flyer in Equestria!” She said as she flew up to the middle of the room. She then flew up to my face with a glare. “You better watch yourself! If I see you touch the Princess I’ll kick your flank!” She threatened to make an eye twitch. James wasn’t having any of it either and was about to step in.”

“Remove yourself from my presence,” I commanded her. She didn’t get the picture and continued to yell in my face. James' eyes started to shine even more. “At once,” I said this time with more for and intent behind it. She seemed to freeze And weakly nodded her head. Then she vanished confusing all of us. That’s when I got a pop up that showed a picture of her outside of the tower's door.

“A’hm sorry about that. She can be a real handful, names Applejack.” She said as she tipped her hat towards me.

“I’m Spike the Dragon. Twilights number one assistant!” He said as he looked me up and down.

“Well, it’s so very nice to meet all of you,” I said as I get up and walk to the exit of the room. All of them seem confused as I stop in the doorway. “I’ll be right back. Me and Sloth need to have a little talk. Simon is bringing tea so make yourselves at home.” As I walk out the door I use gate and appear in the Canterlot throne room.

Sloth and envy were both presents. They immediately shot up and got into an offensive position. “Now, now. I’m not here for that. I need to have a talk with Sloth, envy you stay here.” I motioned my arm for sloth to lead the way. She brought us to a private room that had sound-canceling spells on it.

“Why have you brought me here demon?” Sloth questioned as she sat down on a couch across the room from me.

Glaring at her, “I do believe that I said you’ll know where to find me. Yet you did not come.” Saying that made her tense up. Sighing I continued. “Why did you send your student?”

“I saw no need to come to see you myself. And I couldn’t just cancel day court.” She lied. “Twilight is more than capable to handle you, demon.” A sweat drop rolled down the back of her neck as she could feel my gaze piercing through her.

“So you would send your star student to go see an unknown being that has more power than you AND your sister combined?” I got up and walked over to her. Grabbing her chin I make her look directly at me. “I think you were just to scared to face me yourself…” patting her on the check I made my way to the only window in the room and looked out of it.

“I’m not scared of you, demon!” She lied again. She summoned her sword and tried to stab me in the back. To no effect. Turning around I grab her wrist, squeezing it until she dropped her sword. “Stop, your hurting me,” she begged. She looked up with tears in her eyes. Throwing her on the ground I turned back to the window.

“You don’t admit to your mistakes. You didn’t want to deal with me so you sent your own student to. You get others to deal with your problems, while you are sitting around and do nothing.” As I spoke my tone got harsher. It was frustrating, she really is slothful. “When in my presence you will call me captain, tell your sister that as well.” I turned around to see her on the ground in fear. That’s when I heard it.

“LION SIN COME FORTH!”

A portal opened up right behind her. Looking down at her I could she wilted under my gaze. “How very.. slothful of you Celestia.” Stepping over her I entered the portal.

I need to blow off some steam. Welp whoever is on the other side is about to have a bad day. I thought as travel through the portal.

Chapter Eight: Crimson Lion vs Black Bull

A week had passed since Asta had received the manuals and scrolls of various bending techniques form his Displaced friend Deltorix. In that week he spent the first day in total isolation in an I.D. field mastering the four bending form and the higher-level techniques were what he focused on the second day. In the span of three days in the I.D. Fields that being closer to three years, give or take, Asta had managed to master his bending styles, except for the avatar state. He could only enter and maintain the state for a short time with his eyes glow the whole time as Aang's did in the show until he gained control over it. After his own train was over Asta started to train the first of his new benders.

Meanwhile, the other knights had continued in their personal comings and goings of the town to help in the new kingdom's budding capital city. Princess Amore used her dealings from past experiences to help in the development outside the shining crystal walls. Free Fall, Haze, Spike, and Dash kept up training the locals in the art of combat, even go as far as to have sparring matches with Spike and Rainbow Dash, with it usually ending with Spike and Dash as the winners. Aj helped them in starting plowing fields and showing them how to tend crops. Rarity showed many how to properly sew clothes. Fluttershy returned with Ymir and they'd manage to find the white menace, much to Asta's dismay. He may hate the rabbit and the rabbit wasn't shy about showing its own disdain but they put up with each other for Shy's sake. Twilight was hitting the books hard in order to show the town how to access their latent magic, though many could do little if any at all.

Asta when about his current day turning his first benders. “Alright guys think that’s enough for now,” he cracked his neck.

“Yes sensei!” The four yelled.

They were more than physically strong enough to take Asta physical raining and then some as they’d grown up their entire lives without any magic to help in them in their daily activities. First was the earth bender her name was Steel Hammer, a Pegasus blacksmith. Next, you had The water bender, a caribou by the Name of Silent Echo, and one of the more learned members of the community as well as one of the best doctors. Third, you have Radiant Light a pony-caribou a merchant was the chosen air bender. Finally, you have Silent Whisper the youngest and the male of the students and the fire bender.

The I.D. field broke letting the others free to return home. Asta was walking through he found an odd item in the street that resembled an eye. He picked it up and heard a voice “I am the Lion sin of Pride. Call upon me and I will respond if I feel like it. If you seek power, we can make a deal!”

“Well, never expected a token out here,” Asta said to himself. “Seven Deadly sins if I’m right. Lion sin means Escanor, but this thing feels like it was made by a demon. Let’s see who we have, LION SIN COME FORTH!” Asta yelled out and a swirling vortex opens catching everyone’s attention.

What looks like a child walks through the portal, making everypony raise a brow. Upon further detail, it looks to be a human wearing a crimson bodysuit that has a white insignia in several places. The suit has an open collar and exposes his chest. Along with silver gauntlets and a sword on his hip.

“Asta I presume. You seem to be older than the one from the anime though.” He said as he looked over Asta. “Now what business do you want with me?”

Asta raised an eyebrow. “Wasn’t expecting a Zeldris. Oh well,” He shrugged. “As for business I really have none. I just found your token in the street and was curious as to who you are and yes I am older than the one in the anime, in my mid-twenties actually.” Asta looked at Zeldris, eyeing him up and down. “I sense power and my older brother’s touch. So you met Ed.”

“Ah, you must be Gar’s brother then.” Saying this caught Asta’s attention. “And yes your older brother shot me with some lightni-“ was all Zeldris got to say before getting interrupted.

“Hey what going on over here?” One of the benders asked as he ran up to Asta.

Zeldris grit his teeth. “You dare? Do you dare Interrupt me while I am speaking? Who do you think you are?” As Zeldris spoke he directed bloodlust at the poor bender. “I should kill you where you stand.”

Steel Hammer feel to the ground and couldn’t help but shake in fear.

Asta step in front of her and glared at Zeldris, “You will do no such thing to my student. Pride indeed. This is my town and my kingdom, any action you take against my subjects is a threat made against me and I will answer that threat. Steel was simply asking you what was going on out of curiosity. Anyone one of them would,” He motioned to the others that were looking at them. “This is their first time seeing a Displaced. So cool it.”

Zeldris brought his hands to his side and started laughing. “You should be ashamed. You're a teacher, but you have failed to teach your students proper manners. And you know what they say,” Zeldris adorned a wicked smile. “Curiosity killed that cat.” Bringing his hand up he pointed at Steel hammer. Asta brought out his sword and prepared for the attack. “Hell Flame.”

A tiny red flame came out of his finger and moved at them at an incredibly slow pace. Asta lowered his guard and planted his sword in the ground. He tried to firebend the tiny flame at the ground. But it had no effect.

Asta then waved his sword hitting and dispelled the flame and with ease. This thoroughly surprised the demon. Asta then glared at him, “I encourage them to express themselves. Most of these people are former slaves, many of the females were used for nothing more than sex slaves. You need to learn your place. As I said this is my kingdom and you just tried to kill one of my students. Seems like you need to be put in your place.”

Zeldris didn’t care to listen to what this child had to say. He was still frustrated from his talk with sloth. But he did hear that threat loud and clear. “Do you have a death wish? I could obliterate this whole kingdom within seconds, yet you threaten me.” He glared at the Knight with killing intent and stepped forward.

Asta suddenly grabbed onto Zeldris’s face with his free hand, his grip like a vice on the demon’s face. Zeldris was not only surprised but unnerved by how strong Asta was.

“I will show what is to be strong, fool,” Asta reeled back and threw Zeldris out of the town clear over the crystal walls. Asta threw his sword down, as it hovered over the ground he jumped on it and followed Zeldris, who’d made a small crater with his face. “You’ve earned a thorough spanking and after not taking my last fight with a powerful entity seriously I’m not in the mood to be playful, especially in my new kingdom with the people that trust me with there lives”

Zeldris crawled out of the crater and glared at Asta. Then he immediately got on his hands and knees and started apologizing. “Listen I’m sorry, I was in the wrong! I was in a bad mood and took it out on your people. Can you please forgive me.” Zeldris raised his head to look Asta in the eyes.

Asta taken aback by why is happening lowered his guard. Then all of a sudden Zeldris was gone. Looking around Asta couldn’t see him anywhere until. “Is that what you thought I would say…” Asta heard in his ear before being launched in the air by a powerful kick. Pushing through the pain Asta jumped on his sword and caught himself. “I will say, I am sorry for acting like a child earlier. That little love tap knocked me out of my funk.” Zeldris said as he flew up to Asta’s level. “However, your strength is tremendous. Even more so than Gar’s. You now have my full attention, no more holding back. Let’s fight!”

“Nice to hear my baby brother made an impression on you,” Asta thumb over his shoulder to the town, “I’ll fight you for sure but that town is off-limits as a battleground. Got it!” Asta said in a commanding tone. Zeldris respected him already for his earlier display of strength and willingness to protect but now for his presence as a protector and a king. “Over there,” He pointed off a bit. “We’ll start with our names. I am Asta Ferris, Captain of the Black Bulls and King of the Black Clover Kingdom.”

“I am Zeldris, Lion Sin of Pride, Captain of the Seven Deadly Sins, and the one true Overlord. It is a pleasure to meet you Asta,” Zeldris said as he drew his sword. “Now what sin are you?” He questions as he and Asta clash in the air. Asta getting a kick in pushed Zeldris back, then threw his sword at him. Zeldris caught the sword and fell to the ground. The sword was draining his magic at a rapid pace. So he quickly threw it away from the fight.

“Throwing my blade away does nothing,” Asta remarked, holding up his hand causing the massive sword to swiftly return to him. “And if you know the anime then you know I have more than one,” Asta drew his Demon Dweller sword from his Grimoire. “ Let’s see what you do against two swords. BLACK CROSS SLASH!” Asta yelled as he sent a massive ‘X’ slash of anti-magic at the demon.

Zeldris cloaked his own sword in his darkness hoping it would be enough and sent a few slashes at the attack but they were merely dispelled. Zeldris hadn’t realized that even though he wields darkness it wasn’t the same as Asta’s. He quickly dove out of the wave as the ‘X’ hit the ground. He turned and saw the dissipating energy and he thought it felt, familiar.

“Now I wasn’t really a big fan of Black Clover so all I know is that Asta wields anti-magic. But that darkness, is that demon magic?” He asked as he corrected himself. Asta not responding annoyed Zeldris.

Zeldris then ran up to Asta locking blades. Asta used one of his swords to vertically slash at Zeldris, making him back off. “Napalm.” Zeldris spoke as he thrust his palm at Asta. Nothing happened at first but then an orange magic circle appeared beneath Asta. Asta looked down just in time to be enveloped in a pillar of flames.

When the fire died down it revealed Asta unharmed, except for his burnt clothes revealing a network of scars across his body. Zeldris stared, wondering how he’d gotten them and how much the knight's body had been broken and remade to achieve his level of Physical strength.

“An impatient little bastard aren’t you?” Asta glared at the demon. “Magic Flames won’t work on me, normal fire won’t work on me for that matter. You should know thanks to a certain dark unicorn my body is much more durable than any normal human due to crystal reinforcement. Asta in the show is beyond strong physically, and so was I when I was Displaced. That and coupled with my knowledge and my own martial arts training makes me far more powerful and deadly than him. I’m probably even outclass Edward in terms of raw physical power in his base sealed state.”

“Is that supposed to scare me?” Zeldris asked the knight as he walked towed him, head held high. “That fool can’t even touch me and you think you can beat me. I am the strongest being that has ever existed.” He said as he poked Asta in the chest. “I am holding back considerably, boy. This is my base for allowing access to 8th tier magic and below, also two 10th tier spells. Now what would happen if I transformed into my form for physical combat? This fight would be over in a matter of seconds.” Before Asta could respond to him, Zeldris covered his finger in darkness and shot it through Asta’s chest.

Asta caught off guard from the surprise attack, jumped back to put some distance between them. Luckily he only pierced through the middle of his chest missing all of the vitals.

"Honestly, I hate underhanded tricks and you can't lie to me boy," Asta shot his remark right back in Zeldris's face ticking him off but also wondering what he meant. "I can easily read your Qi and your lying straight to my face," a white light was seen around Asta's wound and it quickly closed to Zeldris's shock. He knew that wasn't magic of any kind.

"And can't touch you, ha," Asta sneered. "You have no idea what's out in the Void. My brother is probably one of the most powerful Displaced there is currently, would have been a Void Dweller if he weren't already tied to one. You claim to have more power but all I see is a little shit that talks big and makes empty threats. Let me show you what power is."

Asta set his Swords down in the ground then glared at Zeldris who'd readied himself. Asta then took a deep breath and vanished.

Zeldris looked around trying to find his opponent but saw nothing then he heard it, a very slight whisper, "Beast Style: Zhǎo jī(Claw Strikes)!" Asta appeared in front of the Sin of Pride and unleashed a fury of strikes against Zeldris who was doing his best to defend. Zeldris noted the Asta was attacking barehanded but the sounds and sparks flying looked as if it were metal on metal.

"You're keeping up but barely, and I can go faster," Asta smirked as his speed increased until Zeldris could no longer defend. Asta laid into the demon spewing blood everywhere and forcing him back.

Zeldris jumped back and pointed his sword and gave a forced chuckle, "Been a while since anything, let alone a human, has drawn my blood and for the fun, I'll give you a treat mage, Maximize Magic: Dragon Lighting!" A massive lighting dragon appears around his sword.

Zeldris starts to swing but before he can Asta stopped it with a single blackened finger and dispelled the attack to Zeldris horror. Asta took his free hand, reeled back slightly and flung it, "Beast Style: Fēi shé bàgōng(Flying Serpent Strike)!" Asta around coiled around Zeldris's left arm and a *POP!* was heard as the entire skin was ripped from Zeldris's arm revealing the muscle fibers underneath.

Zeldris howled out in pain as he stumbled back, but Asta was in his face again showing no remorse, "I'm not done, you asked what sin I am well I'd see Greed, because I could never get enough knowledge of POWER! Beast Style: Xióng zhǎo(Bear Claw)!" Asta made a claw with his hand then buried it in Zeldris's right side. He felt several of his ribs break into pieces upon contact with the knight's blow.

Zeldris was brought to his knees. His face was one of pain and agony as he trembled and spat out dark blood. He looked up to Asta, he was holding his palm clawed closed to his face, only a cold stare on his face while Zeldris winced and glared with pain and anger.

“Cure wounds!” Zeldris shouts as he attempts to fully heal himself. With a grin on his face, he looked Asta in the eyes as he waited for it to happen. His smile slowly fell as the spell didn’t even activate.

But it had no effect as Asta put up his Anti-Mana Zone.

"You are nothing without your precious magic," Asta remarked with a scowl as he beat on Zeldris. "You feel my fists against your flesh, how easily I can rip your skin from your very muscles," Asta kneed Zeldris in the face. "You were given power and yet you spit in the face of those who also have it. You treat others who would want to be like you and those who are weaker than as mere things to be thrown away or destroyed. Will how does it feel to be beaten down to a bloody mess dear overlord," He whaled on the demon. "Power is given to those who are given a task, true power is sought by those who seek to better themselves for the sake of others. Why my big brother gave you power I don't know, but I don't think you're worthy of his gift. The only reason I DON'T cut it out of you, you sorry excuse of a Displaced is that would be just as bad as spitting in his FACE!" Asta kicked Zeldris in the gut sending him rolling on the ground.

Zeldris staggers just to get on his hand and knees while violently coughing up blood. “You don’t know me! You don’t know a single thing about me!” Zeldris yelled as he tried to stand up. “I was given power? No, it was earned. And I was given a task, or it’s more like a favor by Faust herself. You judge me by the little interactions we’ve had, yet you couldn’t possibly understand me!” He yelled as he finally stood up g and glared at Asta. Reaching out a black portal opened up and Zeldris pulled out his staff surprising Asta. “Your brother gave me power because we made a deal. I don’t care anymore…”

"FYI dick head, there's is more than one version of Faust out in the omniverse," Asta pummeled Zeldris to fast for the demon to keep up. "There's one for every Equestria."

The sky darkened around them as black lightning started dancing around the sky. “I’ll fucking kill you. Are you happy that you got to beat me like you did. Because that’s the last thing you’ll ever do.” Zeldris’ body started to become covered in a black aura that soon enveloped the whole area. Asta was thoroughly impressed by his power. Of course it wasn’t nearly as strong as Ed’s but it was still an enormous amount. He didn’t even know how he was doing it as he still had his Anti-Mana Zone up. “No more playing around, Sacred Treasure relea-“ Zeldris said before stopping. Black chains bound his arms and legs and wrapped around his mouth. He struggled against them for a second before calming down. Then the chains dissolved into the air. Asta Anti-magic spike even hight as the magic was released,

The sky cleared up as Zeldris looked around as he realized what he was about to do. Checking his body over he saw that his wounds have been completely healed. Turning his attention to Asta, he found him in an offensive position. “Whoops, got too serious there. I would’ve actually killed you!” Zeldris said as he laughed, fully bluffing as he knew Asta wouldn’t give him the chance. “Now let’s head back to town and get something to eat. I’m thinking strawberries.”

“Sorry if I got too serious. I would've killed you, and I'm pretty sure you could give me a run for my money but you'd still lie dying in a pool of your own blood at the end of the day," Asta said.

“Kill me, pshh. I would’ve killed you in less than a second if I actually got serious.” Zeldris shot back.

"Trust me kid I would've killed you, the more magic you would've put out the more my Anti-mana Zone would've converted it to Anti-magic," Asta summoned his swords to him and returned the smaller sword to his Grimoire and surfed on the other. "I'm specifically adept at fighting magic users, especially ones like you that rely on it too much. Plus I have my third sword, one meant for ending reincarnation magic and immortal magic that can convert magic to anti-magic like the other two. My swords would be the bane of Demons from Seven Deadly Sins. I used my skills as a stuntman and 'secondary role’ actor and stand-in."

Zeldris made wings using his darkness and started to fly to town, Asta right next to him. “So you were an actor, huh. Did you also do hero work? Most heroes nowadays also try to get into the film industry.”

“Heros? My world didn’t have superheroes in it.” Asta stated much to Zeldris surprise. "Superheros are only fantasy in my homeworld."

As the duo entered the town the first thing that came to Zeldris's attention immediately went to the massive crystal walls that protected this place. He placed a hand on the wall and quickly pulled back as he felt a surge of powerful magic from the crystal wall. If he had to guess these crystals would be classed as god-level items.

Zeldris's gaze went back to Asta and smirked, "This guy keeps on surprising me. He's got more than enough physical power to outmatch any demons, even if they are imbued with magic. I know he could even outright destroy any of the Commandments in a one on one fight, even three wouldn't be enough. But, he also wields powerful magics, and very old from what I sensed. This guy is any magic user's worst nightmare," He snickered but then got a serious look in his eye. 'No doubt about it, this guy could have kill me out there when we were fighting. He was still holding back a lot of power, demon power. A demon with that kind of ability, to convert magic into anti-magic and also use it. They could easily become the Demon King.'

"Quit your internal monologue and come on," Asta called out.

Zeldris hadn't realized he'd fallen behind and hastened his pace, as he caught up he noticed the people would stop and bow. He smirked as he thought they'd recognized his power but then recalled Asta was actually the king here.

”They really respect you here," Zeldris crossed his arms.

"Yea well, that's the kind of thing that happens when you free an entire populace were men were treated like little more than objects, and the women were only good for the use of their bodies," Asta scoffed. "That field where we fought was the site of the former capital of the Caribou Kingdom and major sex trade hub too. They made a big mistake."

"Taught them a lesson I see," Zeldris chuckled.

"Laugh if you want but they deserved it after kidnapping three of my squad, two of who are my marefriends, and chaining up my dragon, friend, and student," Asta said, grinding his teeth. "With help from the Shadowbolt corps we took the city and once it was done, I burnt it to the ground with my Amaterasu. Come on, I need new clothes since you burned the ones I was wearing. Rarity is going to kill me when she finds out."

They continued to walk through the Streets of Waillen until they reached Asta’s home. Zeldris was perplexed by how small the house actually was, of course, it was bigger than some of the other homes but still. He’d said he was the king of this land and yet he lived in a small house that couldn’t hold more than four people at most.

“Why is a king living in such a place as this?” Zeldris raised an eyebrow as he entered the house behind its owner. “If you're really are the king here then you should take more pride in it and have an actual castle.”

“Sometime in the future,” Asta replied flatly as he went upstairs into a bedroom. “A castle would take up too much space in the town at this time. It’s why we’re expanding outside the walls.”

“Those walls are strong, even I COULDN’T destroy them with all that magic poured into them,” Zeldris thought as he rubbed his chin. “Well maybe with a lot of time and effort I could.” Zeldris mumbles to himself.

“Yea I made them in haste,” Asta said as he stepped out in a black sleeves shirt and black jeans. “They were originally meant to be temporary but I accidentally poured too much mana into them.”

“Well as Master Oogway once said, ‘There are no accidents.’” Zeldris said as he went through Asta’s fridge. “And you have no food. Come on let’s go eat.” He walked out of the house leaving Asta behind.

As Zeldris walked he turned back to see Asta following him with a smug look on his face. Raising a brow he continued to make his way through town. That’s when it hit him, and he froze in his tracks.

“You don’t know where you're going do you?” Asta crossed his arms and gave Zeldris a sly look. Instead of answering Asta, Zeldris walked up to one of the locals.

“Excuse me. Do you perhaps know where to find a good place to eat?” He was then pointed in the opposite direction he was walking. Thanking the kind pony he turned back to Asta. With a confident smirk, he walked back up to Asta who was struggling to hold back a laugh. “I do now, follow me.”

The two found the market in no time and the vendors were all too happy to give Asta two full meals free of charge, though he still left bits while they weren’t looking. Zeldris rolled his eyes and the duo went on to eat their meals. Once they were finished Asta walked on and showed Zeldris the town, to the latter's annoyment. Then a small gathering of townsfolk caught Zeldris’s attention. While Asta was off talking to one of his other subjects Zeldris took the opportunity to slip away and check out what was going on. To his amazement, he found that the town was performing some form of traditional song and dance.

“Interesting to see them isn’t it?” Came Asta’s voice from behind the demon prince.

“I’ve never seen or heard of anything like this before,” Zeldris tilted his head.

“They do it every day just about and I never get tired of listening to it,” Asta snickered then abruptly stopped. “NO FUCKING WAY!”

“What?” Zedlris looked over as he raised an eyebrow as the song ended.

“One of my girlfriends is up there,” Asta point to a cut pink harried mare who’d come on to the stage upfront.

“Um… hello everypony,” she spoke into the mic. “I… ah… oh dear…” she blushed and hid behind her bangs.

“GO FOR IT FLUTTERSHY!” Asta yelled out.

She looked and saw him in the back waving and cheering her on and smiled softly. “My name is Fluttershy and I know most of you know that but I thought I should reintroduce myself. We have been working hard to build the town and expand and I wanted to express how wonderful it is with the progress we’ve made with everypony’s help. My mother sang to me this song telling me that it was one my father and grandfather would often sing to her about the old times. I thought it was symbolic and like it.”

Fluttershy finished her song and ran off stage and met with Asta and Zeldris.

Asta picked her up and twirled her in the air and gave her a quick kiss, to Zeldris’s disgust. “That was beautiful Shy, this is Lion Sin of Pride Zeldris, the true Overlord. I summoned him earlier today,”

“Nice to meet you,” Fluttershy gave a quick bow before hiding behind Asta.

“You’re definitely a strong one,” Zeldris smirked as he used Mana Essence to gauge Fluttershy’s magic power. He saw a column of sprawling rainbow colors. “Too bad you’re too timid to use it properly.”

“Shy’s magic is Gaea, making her potential limitless,” Asta patted her head. “Animals, earth, the very nature of the world itself is hers to command. She’s mainly our healer though.”

“Yes I dear say she’s on par with the both of us,” Came a stern tone from above as Princess Luna flew down. “Asta, who is this?”

“I sense darkness here,” Came a soft motherly voice. Princess Celestia joined them. “Are you a demon sir?” she asked Zeldris.

“Zeldris the princesses. Luna wilds Demon Light magic and Spatial magic while Celestia wields Light magic, they’re the only two outside my knight’s in this world that have grimoires, to my knowledge,” Asta explained.

“Yes hello, Sloth, Envy,” Zeldris said in a cold tone as he barely recognized their presence. “I know you're not my Sins so I will play nice.”

“I’m sorry if we’ve done something to offend you,” Celestia apologized.

“Yes, we meant no harm,” Luna added. “We’ve tried to look at things differently since Asta’s arrival in Equestria and have come to realize that not all demons are evil.”

“If we can apologize in some other form let us know. Are you like Asta? And if so did your version of us do something we can make up for?” Celestia sincerely asked.

“You are not my Sins. Therefore you have nothing to apologize for.” Zeldris realized that he was being a dick. “And yes I am like Asta, except I’m a pure-blooded demon. While I am here I will hold back all of my hostility towards you. So let’s start over.” Zeldris told them as he stuck his hand out. “Hello Princess Celestia, Princess Luna I am Zeldris.”

“It's a pleasure to meet you,” Celestia gently took his hand then Luna did the same. “Again we are sorry if our counterparts caused you trouble. Demons don’t carry the best influences in our cultures.”

“They mainly are responsible for some of the various races around our land due to their curses, though many have dwindled down to just being a natural occurrence now.”

“Yes, I was summoned to my world to defeat the demon clan. I am Pride, Captain of the Seven Deadly Sins. The sins protect the world from the Ten Commandments.” Zeldris spoke in a proud tone, with his hands on his hips. “Me and Asta’s brother, Gar, recently fought off some demons that attacked Ponyville.”

“What is he Displaced as by the way?” Asta asked.

“He was displaced as a parasyte, from a parasyte. However thanks to me giving him a sacred treasure he became the Fairy King. He also became part demon from eating a lot of demons in Ponyville.” He explained proudly. “Speaking of Sacred treasures I believe that you are worthy of one. Would you like one?” Zeldris questioned as he held out his hand.

“Umm... sure. I could always use a new weapon.” Asta said. “In return, I could give you a bending so you don’t always have to rely on magic. How does that sound?” Asta pauses when he goes to shake Zeldris’s hand because they were enveloped in a green flame. Looking up, his eye twitched as he saw a wicked smile on Zeldris' face.

“So it’s a deal then?” Zeldris said as he extended his hand further.

“Do you think I’m stupid? Of course, I’m not shaking hands, I trust you as far as I can throw you.” Asta paused “Wait that’s not- You know what I mean.” Asta said as his eyes twitched. Zeldris just chuckled to himself quietly.

Dismissing the flames, Zeldris nodded not feeling like pressing the issue further. Asta shook his hand after a minute of Zeldris explaining he’s not going to pull anything.

“So does this hurt?” he scratched the side of his head with his finger. “I know my Publishing magic hurts,” Asta asked only to be ignored.

“Search my mind! Choose a worthy weapon for the one I behold! Memory-make magic: Sacred Treasure!” A bright light enveloped both of them. It slowly subsided after a couple of seconds. In the palm of Zeldris' hand was a pendant. It was made out of wood and had an X going across the middle. In the middle of the X, there was a skull. This was the Combat Pass from Bleach.

"Hah… Wasn't expecting that" Asta raised an eyebrow.

“Neither was I,” Zeldris commented. Handing it to Asta they both began to inspect it. “I’m assuming you know what this is right?” He nods. “Well let me go over it anyway. The pendant gives you the ability to separate your soul from your body. It alerts you when there are hollows around. It is invisible to normal people for safety reasons. It also absorbs, analyzes, and controls your Reiatsu. It also restricts your power so those around you are not affected. And Ichigo used it as his Fullbring focus.” Zeldris explained as he created a small rope and attached it to the pendant.

Asta used his Reiatsu to engulf the badge. The badge shone for a second before returning to normal. Using the badge Asta’s body fell forward and his soul was standing above it. Zeldris knew what was going on but was upset that he couldn’t see it.

“Hey get back in your body! And teach and add Spiritual pressure to that list to teach me as well.” Zeldris shouted.

Asta sighed and went back into his body. New powers and he couldn’t even test it yet. “Yeah, yeah. Hold on, not like I wanted to see my Soul Reaper form.” Waking over to Zeldris he placed a hand in his head. “This will hurt, as I’m putting a new energy network through your body. I know because I had it done to me. Teach Zeldris Spiritual Pressure and Waterbending!”

At first nothing seems to be happening. Then Zeldris felt a massive amount of pain surging throughout his whole body. Clenching his fist his gauntlets were threatening to break. He stood through the pain though. “Ok, now you can use the badge. Let’s see what you look like.” Zeldris said between breaths.

Once again Asta turned into a soul reaper. Zeldris could only think of one thing when he saw him. He looks badass.”

Raising an eyebrow Zeldris spoke up. “How come you have on hollow Ichigo's outfit?”

“Dude I have no clue. Could be because of the demon I’m bonded to.” Asta stared just as confused as Zeldris. Then a sense of dread washed over him.“Hang on, does this mean I’m going to have to fight hollows?” Zeldris merely shrugged his shoulders, annoying Asta.

Pulling out his Zanpakuto they both admired it. All of a sudden it changed from a silver metal to a black metal with a red edge. It had a red handle with a black and white handle wrap, and a beautiful white sheath with a decorative ornament at the bottom.

Zeldris curiously walked up to Asta and touched the blade. That’s when more information appeared in his head. A smile spread to his face as he thought of the look on Asta’s face once he told him what just happened.

“So, are you familiar with the anime Demon Slayer.”

“It came out before I was Displaced,” Asta looked up as he placed a hand on his chin. “Something about swordsman fight demons, but they were more along the lines of biological mutations or some form of illness transmitted by coming in contact with someone’s blood. They gain immense power from this but also the weakness of burning in sunlight. If I remember correctly those breathing styles actually have some origin in my own breathing techniques. Why do you ask?”

“This sword is a Nichirin Sword, or better known as a color change omg sword.” When Zeldris said Asta nodded. “So I guess that means that you’ll also have demons AND hollows around now. It’s fascinating that your Zanpakuto is also a Nichirin sword. Wonder what it’s name will be.”

Asta sighed and got back into his body. “So now I have even more problems to deal with. Great.”

“When you come across a powerful mutated demon let me know.” Saying this confused Asta. “I’m going to eat his soul and consume his body to see if I can get a Blood Demon Art.” Asta nodded.

“Yea that’s not gonna happen this time around man,” Asta shrugged. “According to Ed, when Displaced inherit new magic and weapons that can affect their world it takes a while for them to affect the world. So sorry man but you’re shit out of luck on this one.” Asta looked at his new badge. “What we need to do is gain the ability to manifest our zanpakuto in the physical world completely.”

Asta closed his eyes and concentrated on his badge as he held it out in front of him. Meanwhile, Zeldris crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow, wondering what the anti-mage was doing. Suddenly Asta became enveloped in a blinding whitish-green light. Zeldris held up his hands and looked on as best he could but had to wait till the light died down and was amazed at what he saw. Asta was wearing a black suit-like outfit with what looked like skeletal armor over top of it and a white fur collar. In the hand where his badge had been was a massive long and wide double-edged greatsword with a skull on the guard and spinal cord looking hilt that ran partially into the blade of the sword.

“Okay, I wasn’t expecting that at all,” Zeldris smirked with a slight chuckle. “I wonder what kind of power you’ll have once you’ve awakened your sacred treasure.”

“You mean that thing you were about to do in a last-ditch effort to save your ass but the black chains came out and stopped you?” Asta said as he hefted the sword onto his shoulder.

“Yea, that,” Zeldris looked away annoyed

“Hey, if I can do this why don’t you try?” Asta said as he reverted back to normal and he tossed the badge to Zeldris. “Instead of using it to get out of your body, try and force your zanpakuto out through the badge.”

“I never even thought to try it.” Zeldris held the badge out in front of him and concentrated on it. Just like Asta Zeldris was enveloped in a whitish-green light. When the light died down, Asta finally got a good look at Zeldris. Instead of his normal red bodysuit, he had on a black yukata, wrapped in a purple sash.

In his hand was surprisingly a Jian sword instead of a katana. It has a brass lion faceguard. The scabbard and handle are also made from rosewood with brass mountings.

Looking himself over he sighed. “What an underwhelming transformation compared to yours. Still, this is a nice swor- URACK!” Was all Zeldris got to say. White liquid started to poor for his mouth startling both him and Asta. The liquid made its way down to Zeldris' neck and wrapped around it. Forming a bone choker like thing.

At the same time, a hole appeared in the middle of his chest. After it was done Zeldris looked at Asta with his eyes wide open. “What the hell just happened!?” He shouted and stomped his foot, causing the whole area to rumble.

Asta was just as surprised by what happened so it took him a second to register the question. “I just realized that you're a demon. Demons in bleach are technically hollows. How far are you in bleach?” Asta asked, hoping Zeldris could figure it out.

“I was only on season four,” Zeldris said as he tried to calm himself down.

Asta sighed. “Ok well in bleach when a hollow takes off their mask they will gain soul reaper powers. So because you're a demon you didn’t turn into a soul reaper, but an Arrancar. That means you’ll have the powers of a hollow as well.” He explained to the demon who was now calm.

Zeldris messed with the piece of his hollow mask while Asta explained. Trying to take it off was a futile attempt, it was stuck. “Well, it’s a good thing that it can all be fixed once I return to normal.”

Turning back to normal he threw the badge back over to Asta.

“Hmm…I don’t think it worked.” Asta looked Zeldris over.

True to what Asta said, Zeldris still had the hole and broken mask. He also had his Zanpakutō, he didn’t even realize he was holding it. The only thing that went back to normal were his clothes.

“I honestly have no idea what’s going on,” Asta scratched his head. “You shouldn’t still have that showing in the living body.”

“Wait, could it be because I died before in my previous life?” He questions as he rubbed his chin. "That’s the only explanation I can think of.”

"Possibly?" Asta shrugged. “I don’t know for sure. There is one thing that you need to know though. And that is your hollow power.” Zeldris nodded not really knowing how to respond. “As an Arrancar, you have the five techniques that all Arrancar have. Which are Cero, Sonído, Cero Oscuras, Bala, and Resurrección. Now before I begin explaining these to you do you know any of them?”

“I know of Cero. That was the move the Menos Grande shot at Ichigo,” Zeldris said as he was messing with the hole in his chest.

“That is correct. It is a powerful blast of concentrated spiritual energy. It is usually fired from the mouth but Arrancars and Vizards can fire it from their hands instead,” Asta pointed at the area they were fighting at before.

“Let’s head back over there so you can try it.”

The two made their way over to the grasslands outside the wall. Zeldris being used to using different energy was easily able to build up spiritual energy in the back of his throat. Asta could feel that Zeldris was building it up and just watched on with interest. “Well here goes. Cero.” He opened his mouth and a thin line of red energy cane out of it. After a couple of seconds, he closed his mouth and instantly frowned. “That was beyond pathetic. Did I do something wrong?”

Asta was struggling to hold in a laugh. “No, no you did it perfectly. But you know what they say, practice makes perfect.” Zeldris turned away and went to try again. “Whoa hang on! You got the basics down so let’s focus on something else. How about we work on Sonído?”

“What’s that?” Zeldris asked as he turned back to face him.

“Sonído is the Arrancar's equivalent of Hohō.” That was all Zeldris needed to hear. Taking a step forward a booming sound could be heard. In less than a second Zeldris was in Asta’s face.

Asta jumped back a good ten feet slightly to move out of Zeldris' way. Reading the new Arrancar’s Qi to keep track of his movements. “How did you do that so quickly?” He asked walked back to where Zeldris was.

“I don’t know. I just knew how to do it.” Zeldris said as he started performing Sonído over and over again. Either making a booming noise or a static-like noise.

Asta scratched the back of his head. “Well Ok. Next, let’s work on Bala. Bala is a technique that is similar to a Cero, but more like a bullet. It’s not as strong as a Cero but it’s much faster and easier to make. Wrap your hand with spiritual energy and hit. And I guess for a since there is really nothing out here to aim at fly in the air and aim at the ground.” After saying that Asta backed away from Zeldris.

Flying up a good distance Zeldris did as Asta said and wrapped his hand in spiritual energy. He punched towards the ground releasing it. And just like Asta said, it was a bullet. He continued to fire rapidly at the ground for a minute, leaving a small crater. Flying down he saw a look of disapproval on Asta’s face.

“You really didn’t have to do that. This is still my territory that we are currently trying to rebuild.” Zeldris gave a small ‘sorry’ and Asta continued speaking. “That’s it for now. I don’t want to touch those other ones. I’ll tell you about them so you can practice on your own time.”

After explaining the last two and some more things about the Arrancar, they both flew back in town and made their way back to Asta’s house.

“So tell me about my baby brother,” Asta says sitting down. “I haven’t seen him in about a year or so, counting the time I've been here at least.”

Zeldris pulled some strawberries out of his inventory and started to eat them. “Well he still is emotionless. However he is starting to show emotion, and from what he told me he doesn’t know why it’s happening.”

“Understandable. Parazytes can or could gain some form of understanding or mimicry of emotions the longer they spent time around humans, but could never fully come to gain true emotions,” Asta said as he sat on his knees with his eyes closed and his palms on his lap. “Gar is different in that he has true emotions as he never lost his true mindset. We as Displaced can sometimes lose ourselves to the characters we are costumed as when we’re displaced or at the least, like me and my brothers’ cases, take on aspects of the characters’ personalities while maintaining our true selves. For Gar, it was that his emotions became inhibited or severely repressed, though in times of quick thinking those blockers are forced open allowing how he truly feels to appear on the surface.” Asta’s eyes opened slightly, “I thank you for being his friend, though I warn you not to cross our oldest brother.”

“Yeah, you should just hope he doesn’t cross ME.” Zeldris notices Asta was staring at his strawberries, so he handed him some. “Now it’s time to get serious. When are you going to announce me Captain of the Crimson Lions?” Once he said that Asta burst out laughing. He dropped all of the strawberries on the ground as he slammed his hand on the table.

“You can't seriously think I’m going to make you a Magic Knight Captain after all the crap you pulled since coming here,” Asta said outright. “And before you ask ‘what crap?’.” He did air quotes.“ Let me list the ways. shall we One, the first thing you do when you arrive is threaten and attack one of my citizens and personal students. Second, you come at me for defending the latter. Three, you severely endangered my subjects,” Asta listed off the reason on his right hand. “And four, and the most important, you don’t even have a grimoire which is the whole focus of my Displacement and Magic Knight Squads.”

“Have you ever heard of ‘forgive and forget’. I already apologized for my mistakes. If need be I will apologize to the pony that I threatened.” Asta sat across from him with his arms crossed and had a disinterested look on his face. “And for the grimoire thing, I literally have a ton of magic. There is no purpose for me to have one.”

“Forgive a fake half-assed apology, ha. Grimoires are very special magical artifacts in Black Clover that not only do they record your spells and boost your magical power but they also unlock magic specific to individuals,” Asta explained. "Sure people that aren’t even related can technically have the same magic but it still severely varies from user to user. Grimoires also won’t work for anyone but their chosen wielder. They disintegrate upon the wielder's death unless they or the book chooses, yes the book chooses not you, to pass on to someone new. Sometimes a family passes the Grimoires as heirlooms until the book chooses a new user. Power scaling is not determined by the number of leaves either, though the four leaves are said to bring luck. My squad varies from three to four leaf user but Spike, Luna, and I all have five-leaf Grimoires due to our demons. Not those with demons have dual affinities, their magic, and the demon magic. Luna’s is the Spacial Magic while the demons is Demon Light magic. Spike’s is Emerald-Amethyst Draconic Flame magic, his demon is Berserk Black Draconic Flame magic, though he hasn’t figured that out yet. You already being a demon would not have dual affinity but a single along with a five-leaf grimoire. Do you understand?”

“I understand it now since you gave me such a long lecture, Mr. Teacher. Thank you for telling me how the magic of this world works. So where do I go to get chosen by a grimoire? Or are you just going to give it to me like you did with Waterbending and Spiritual Pressure?” Zeldris asked.

“HAHAHAHAHA!” Asta laughed hard enough to make tears form in his eyes. “That isn’t the magic of this world. Don’t you remember me say that only my squad and the princesses have Grimoires here, to my knowledge. Not even Celestia and Luna knew about grimoires when I arrived here. They recently got them. No, the only way to get them is if I FEEL that you’ve earned one. I am the only one who can publish true grimoires with my personal magic. Grimoire Publishing.”

Zeldris is lucky that he isn’t in his human form or he would have had a blush on his face. But then quickly regained his composure. “That conversation may or may not have slipped my mind. And I see that you’ve already made up your mind about me, which also means that I’m not getting a grimoire. Hence no squad caption position.”

There was a sudden knock on Asta’s door that caught the duo off guard due to their intense conversations.

“Who the hell could it be?” Asta asked himself as he rubbed the back of his neck while walking to the door. He opened the door to reveal a Shadowbolt. “What is it?”

“Sorry to disturb you and your guest this late your majesty but there is a Caribou army approaching from the southwest,” The Shadowbolt explained as he did the clover salute. “We were told to inform you by the princesses immediately. What action will you be taking this time and shall I ready the troops for combat.”

Asta scratched the back of his head then looked to the Shadowbolt with one eye closed. “What a pain.” His attention shifted slightly to Zeldris.

“That sounds like trouble,” Zeldris said as he walked up to them. “You need my assistance?”

“Not really,” Asta deadpanned. “But I do want you to come along and watch. No action on your part whatsoever, got it?”

Zeldris sighed. “I even went out of my way to offer up my help. I got it.”

Asta turned to the Shadowbolt. “Have our forces on standby and inform all Black Bull higher-ups that I am going out, alone. I want them ready to move at a moment's notice.”

“Sir,” the pegasus saluted again and flew off.

Asta pulled a device from his belt. “You’re with me,” He held up the device, “Transport Behemoth,” Suddenly a monster bike was in front of the two. Asta hopped on. “I’m tired of surfing. At least with Behemoth, I can come in like a badass. LET’S GO!” Asta roared as he revved the engine and took off like rocket riding through the sky on the motorcycle.

“I WANT ONE!” Zeldris laughed as he formed wings and took off after Asta.

Asta road his Behemoth through the air and saw the approaching army. I was just as large as the last army that he’d faced, perhaps even bigger. Zeldris came on and whistled.

“That’s a pretty decent force, sure you don’t want my help?” Zeldris smirked. “Between the two of us, they’ll be dead in just a few minutes.”

“I don’t kill unless it’s necessary,” Asta scowled. “No this is the perfect time to send a message. I’m much stronger than the last time I faced an army this size and I have a lot more tricks too.”

“Message, what better message is there than one that says I won’t stand for bullshit by wiping out an army,” Zeldris scoffed.

“One that spreads like a virus,” Asta smirked. “One that brings business opportunity and also keeps the rabble away,”

Zeldris cocked an eyebrow then he realized this wasn’t an army in Asta’s eyes but a very large group of messengers. Messengers that will spread the word that this is his kingdom and he won’t let others near it.

The duo were soon spotted by the arm and came to land right in front of the commander. “You what is this? Have you come to join us in taking back the capital?”

“Shut up,” Asta demanded as he hopped off his Behemoth. “I guess I don’t have to ask why you’re in my territory.”

“Your territory? This is Caribou land and we know the old king was slain leaving his throne right for the taking,” the commander snicker.

“Sir,” one of the men in back spoke up. “That’s him. The Ashen hair, the black dragon coiled around his left arm, and those fluorescent green eyes. I’ll never forget that night he slaughtered the whole palace.”

“So I missed one of you,” Asta raised his hand and black flames came from the dragon scar. “Let me get one thing straight, This is not the Caribou Kingdoms domain anymore but the Black Clover Kingdom, and I am the king here. I am the one who claimed this land the night I set that CESSPOOL of a city on fire.”

Asta jumped back and Zeldris joined him curious as to what Asta was going to do. Sure he was pissed off earlier but he felt pure rage coming from the mage now, some that made him cringe slightly. The demon that Asta had was very different from the ones he knew and could feel there was only darkness, not the kind he like knew or wielded. It just was just there and all-consuming darkness.

“Let me show you just who you think you can take this land from,” Asta said as he held a palm up.

Zeldris couldn’t believe what he was seeing, the power Asta was gathering in his arm wasn’t magic but pure physical strength. Some more strength that it was producing an eerie purple fluorescent aura around his limb

Suddenly the wind picked up and swirled around Asta as his eyes, nose, and mouth glowed white with some kind of spiritual power, not his soul reaper power but the power exactly opposite from what his Zeldris sensed just mere seconds ago. The was the power of light and harmony

The army was shaking so much that they were rattling their armor. They all looked like they would shit their pants.

“For today, a demonstration,” Asta said, it sounded like many voices. “Xагарал
Khagaral (Fissure)!” He yelled and slammed his palm into the earth.

To Zeldris’s amazement, the earth shook and immediately it started to crumble away under Asta and his feet. Zeldris used his wings and the Behemoth sped away on its own to more of Zeldris’s amusement. Asta was floating as the air around him was a spinning ball.

“Let this be a warning to you and tell anyone that if they mess with the Black Clover Kingdom, they’ll insight the wrath of the Black King and his magic Knights!” Asta said in his multi voices and the Caribou were sent screaming away. Asta then went to his side of the gorge and plopped in the ground. “Man that was a workout,” He said as his light died out.

“You are far too kind. If it were me I would have killed them all.” Zeldris walked up behind Asta and patted him on the back. “I understand why you didn’t, and that was very impressive!”

“I need the word to be spread that this is a new kingdom. Though it will mainly be rumors of a demon king or kingdom of demons, something along those lines at first, but it’ll get the message across that we don’t take bullshit from anyone,” Asta cracked his neck. “Man Avatar State is rough. That takes care of that for now,” Behemoth pulled up next to Asta and he hopped on it. “Let’s head back to the town and let them know it's safe. Not looking forward to telling the princesses about the fissure. Also, do you like having your face buried in mountains of fleshy orbs?”

“I am a supreme being, one who stands above all races. I have no such desires.” Zeldris deadpanned. Shrugging both Asta and Zeldris pick up speed.

“Oh and I KNOW you’re saying it to say it, but don’t forget that you’re still Zeldris and Meliodas’s little brother,” Asta snickered as they arrived, Asta returned his Behemoth to his digivice. “So don’t be surprised if you come across a certain vampiress in your world. Now, I’m ducking…”

Zeldris raised an eyebrow and Asta did as he said he would do and ducked down while Zeldris found himself in paradise until he couldn’t breathe that is. A few moments went by and Zeldris regains consciousness to find himself on Asta’s couch and a certain farm girl looking after him.

“Hey there, how ya feelin?” Aj asked.

“What heathen attacked me?” Zeldris said, his voice cold.

“I’m sorry,” Came the voice of a very beautiful and curvy woman sitting in a chair not far from the others. “I thought I had Asta in my grip and not you.”

Zeldris got up and walked over to her. He raised his hand causing her to flinch, only to feel a hand patting her head. “It is alright. As long as that attack was meant for Asta I couldn’t care less.” He then walked back over to the couch he was laying on and sat down. “I am doing fine.” He told Aj.

“Let me introduce ya,” Aj placed her on her chest. “I’m Applejack, but you probably figured that out already seein as you’re a Displaced and all. This is Princess Amore, former empress of the Crystal Empire and one of the current governors of Waillen.”

Amore bowed. “I’m so sorry for almost suffocating you with my chest, I was coming to check on Asta and see what all the fuss was about and was so worried... I kind of lost self-control.”

“Again…” Aj rolled her eyes.

Zeldris got up and stretched. “Well now that, that is out of the way. Where’s Asta at? He and I still need to finish our talk.” The way he said the last part worried Aj and Amore. Looking at each other nervously, they were about to respond but Zeldris was already gone.

Flying above the town which he now knows is called Waillen, he looked around for Asta. After flying around some more he finally found Asta meditating on one of the crystals. “You could have warned me,” Zeldris stated.

“Technically I did,” Asta said plainly as he continued to meditate. Soon a large black owl flew up and perched on Asta’s head looking right at Zeldris.

Hoo…

Zeldris tilted his head in confusion. “Hoo.” He said to the owl who merely tilted its head and then focused back on Asta. “Is that Nero?”

“That’s what I named her, after the one in the show,” Asta smirked. “She was the first friend I made here. And she's not an anti-bird or sealed mage but what’s called a howler.” He stood up. “They have extremely powerful hoots that can be used as sonic blasts, though she’d only done it a few times. She brought a bunch of her friends from Everfree and the nest in the trees though now that there's a gorge they’ll probably move there.”

Zeldris looked eyes with Nero and gave a small nod, which she returned. “I already like this bird more than you. So what do we do now? I have people waiting for me at my tower.”

“That depends on you,” Asta jumped on nearby clouds down to the ground. “I have one more thing I can do for you, but ONLY if you do something for me in return,” Asta looked to the demon. “I will give a Grimoire and grant you the title you so badly want. I know how you Memory Make works and you’ll gain an ability to make your own version of Grimoires but they won’t be true Grimoires. Do you want to take me up on my offer?”

“I never planned to actually make a squad, because I have the sins. But I just might do it.” Sticking his hand out it became enveloped in green fire. “We have a deal.”

“I still won’t shake your hand but I’m glad you accept,” Asta said as his grimoire floated up and he pulled out a very fine quill, notebook, ink, saucer and needle. “I will publish this for you but you must also bring one that I set up for my brother. Your Qi and his are mixed, what that means exactly I can’t tell but maybe you both have roles to play in each other's worlds.” Asta sighed as he pulled another notebook out and did some quick work on it before handing it to Zeldris who put it in his storage. “Mix a drop of your blood into the ink and write your name in the front cover, I’ll take care of it from there. You’ll have to have Gar do this too.”

Doing as Asta said Zeldris looked him in the eye. “Is this like your ‘Teach’ skill? Is this going to hurt?” Asta let out a chuckle and ignored Zeldris’ question.

Racing his hands up Asta let out a deep breath. His grimoire floating next to him. “Grimoire Publishing Magic.” He spoke in a low tone. Black lightning shot out from his grimoire to the book Zeldris was holding. Zeldris felt a sharp pain throughout his body that only lasted for a couple of seconds. Looking down he saw that the book had completely changed.

The plain-looking notebook that Asta originally gave him changed to a big book. The book now had what looked like golden vines running across it. And was now black and grey in color. It had a silver outline on the front and back of it as well. And of course, in the middle of it was a black five-leaf clover.

“Let’s see here,” Asta leaned in and looked over the Grimoire and pulled out a notepad and wrote something in it before putting it away. “Gold magic. Never heard of that one before.”

Asta looked over to Zeldris and saw that he had a big smile on his face. “I thank you very much for this grimoire. I can see that it has a lot of potential.”

“Yea, just don’t forget to give my brother his, or yours will cease to work,” Asta crossed his arms and Zeldris didn't' expect that comment.

“You’re bluffing,” Zeldris rolled his eyes.

“Not at all,” Asta smirked. “I put it in as a sub-clause in my spell. If you don’t give Gar the one I provided for him then your powers won’t work at all. I know how deals work, and you can still use yours but until you give Gar his there will always be that threat of it not working.”

Zeldris smirked. “Well, I always keep my word. It matters not.” He then put his grimoire in his inventory.

“I can only hope,” Asta said as he rolled his eyes. “Now get out of my kingdom!” He said in a playful manner. “Oh and tell my baby brother I said hi. Our contract is complete.”

A portal that Zeldris was getting used to seeing appeared right behind him. “I’ll make sure to get the message to Gar. One more thing,” Asta’s gaze met Zeldris pitch-black eyes. “The next time we fight, I will triumph over you. Goodbye for now Anti-Magic King…” Zeldris said as he walked through the portal.

“Fucking asshole,” Asta scoffed as he put his hands on his hips.

Once Asta was back at his house he sat on the couch to finally get some peace. It didn’t last long as a note appeared in front of him. “What now?” He mumbled to himself as he began to read it.

’I remember you complaining about how you couldn’t fly. And I don’t know what it is, maybe because you're Gar’s brother but I want to be nice to you. So after you read this you’ll get a gift that allows you to fly. All you need to do is concentrate on it and it’ll work. I swiped my token from you so you’ll get that back as well. It’s an earring by the way. Make sure to use it as it can read power levels. That’s all for now. Go eat some strawberries or do some Kingly duties.’

Your worst nightmare, Zeldris.

Once Asta read it the note became enveloped in green fire and burned away. Appearing where the note once was were Zeldris’ token and a necklace. The necklace was in the shape of a bird’s wing and was pure white.

He began to laugh. “That bastard, I guess you aren’t so bad after all.”

Author's Notes:

I had a lot of fun writing this. Make sure to go check out Asta’s story! As always Alvasa was fun to work with. Can’t wait to work with him again! Go show him some love!

Chapter Nine: Back to Business

Appearing back in the room that I left in, I noticed that I was alone. Looking out it was nighttime. I left at around midday, so I must have been gone for a few hours. Using Gate I made my way back to my tower, which I still needed to name. Simon immediately sensed my presence and was next to me in an instant with an annoyed look on his face.

“I know it is not my place to say this, but you cannot leave your guest waiting for 8 hours.” His expression then contorted into one of confusion, then shock and finally became one of anger. “Fath- FATHER WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?! WHO DID THIS TO YOU?! I’LL KILL THEM!” he shouted as he pointed at the hole in my chest. After a minute of him shouting about the hole, I raised my hand. He instantly calmed down. I motioned for him to follow me as I walked to the common room. Surprisingly when we got there Pinkie, Spike, Twilight and Envy were all there.

Twilight and Envy had mountains of books surrounding them. Twilight seemed to be reading books on magic. Envy was reading books on the demon clan, interesting. I was bewildered, where did all of these books come from in the first place. Pinkie Pie was eating what I believe to be a type of cheesecake while watching One Piece with Spike on tv. Turning my attention to Simon I pulled him back out of the room. “Where did all of those books and tv come from?” I whisper yell at him.

“Well, the books come from an underground library that you never looked at. And the tv was always there.” He stated bluntly.

“Ok well, what are they still doing here? Also, why is Envy here?” I question as I peek back into the room.

“Spike was curious about what the tv was so I turned it on. I then went on Netflix and found something he would enjoy. Pinkie joined in and got food from the mummies.” Simon explained to me. “Me and Twilight went down to the library to read some books. We spent a lot of time down there and got to know each other, it was fun. In the end, I brought up a bunch of books so we could hang out with the others. Luna just showed up.” After explaining Simon walked back into the room.

Following him into the room nobody noticed me. I was about to announce myself, but Simon beat me to it.

“Twilight, my lord is here. Come and get him.” Twilight had a surprised look on her face as she looked at it. Simon offered a hand to her, which she took. I’m pretty sure I saw a blush on her face.

Of course I wasn’t the only one who saw that blush. I glanced over to Envy and she looked from them to me and winked. I kept up my vacant stare and shook my head. If looks could kill then Simon would have been dead from Spike glaring at him. Looking at everyone once more I noticed something peculiar.

Raising an eyebrow I spoke, “Strange. Where has Pinkie gone?” I scratched the back of my head only to feel something that shouldn’t be in my hair. Grabbing it I pulled it out and brought it to my face. Only to find pinkie with a huge smile on her face staring at me. “How did you do that?”

Pinkie opened her mouth only to be cut off by Twilight, “Don’t question it, that’s just Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie.”

Putting her book down Twilight made her way over to me. She towered over me by five inches. “I don’t know where you went but you said you would answer our questions? So since the others aren’t here does that mean we can use their questions? Also, that magic I was reading about is completely different from anything I’ve ever seen; can you tell me about it? Those books talked about Yggdrasil, Fiore, Cross Reverie, Brain Burst, Elder Tale, Aincrad, and Infinity magic. Although now that I think about it Aincrad magic seems to be forced more on weapon techniques.”

That was a lot of new information to take in. I’ll need to read those books later on. “To answer your questions in order yes, no, I can tell you about some of it.” She let out a squee. I didn’t even know ponies could squee.

She was about to continue before a pink hand forcibly removed her from in front of me. A pink pony took her place and continued the questioning. “Hi I’m Pinkie Pie, but you already know that! What’s your favorite color? Do you like parties? Do you prefer cakes or cupcakes? What’s your favorite type of cake? How old are you? When’s your birthday?”

“Once again,” I sighed. “To answer your questions in order my favorite color is black, I enjoy parties, I like cake and cupcakes, I like all cake that has strawberries in it, I’m three thousand and twenty-five give or take, and I was born August sixteenth.” After talking I sat down in a chair that has a view of the whole room. “Welp I already answered both Twilights and your questions moving on.” Twilight's ears folded back.

“But-but I have more questions!!”

“No buts.”

“That’s not even fair! How can you-” Twilight couldn’t finish her sentence because I raised the spiritual pressure in the room just enough to knock the breath out of her.

“It is fair. I was even nice enough to answer an extra question for you.” Everyone in the room except Spike, Envy, and Simon was struggling to breathe. Simon walked up to me and placed a hand on my shoulder.

“I think that’s enough, don’t you?” He said with a hint of concern in his voice.

Returning the room back to normal I set my gaze on Spike. He took this as a sign to speak.

“Well let me just get this out of the way.” He said as he walked up to me. He was barely two feet away from me. He poked me in the chest. “I don’t like you. Simple as that.” He then walked back to where he was sitting. “Now as for my questions, what are you? And you said you were a friend but did you really mean it?”

“I’m a supreme being. My race is that of a Demon and Arrancar hybrid.” As I spoke I used Mana Essence on him. I was wide-eyed as I saw how much potential he had. “As for your other question, yes I am a friend to Equestria and Equis itself.” Shifting my gaze to Envy I nodded.

She took a sip of tea before speaking. “I’ll get straight to the point. What powers do you possess? Also, I’ve never heard of an Arrancar, what are they?

“I possess many types of magic, mainly Yggdrasil magic. I also possess water bending and Reiatsu. Reiatsu is spiritual pressure and water bending is self-explanatory.” As an example, I bended her tea out of the cup and made a few shapes before putting it back. “An Arrancar is a hollow that has removed its mask. That is all I will speak on the matter. Oh, and I also have a grimoire.” I took out my grimoire and showed it to them.

James walked in with more tea and snacks.

“What perfect timing! Here James, distribute this among the mummies as you see fit.” My grimoire shone in a golden aura and flew up next to my side. It flipped open and revealed a spell that I was hoping was there. “Gold magic: Create Bits!” Liquid gold flowed out of it and onto the floor surprising everyone present. After a bit, the gold solidified into a mountain of bits. “Enjoy your bits.”

“Thank you I’ll make sure everyone gets them. Mubby!” Mubby ran up from who knows where and started collecting the bits.

“Well, that is it for tonight. If you want to stay we have guest bedrooms.” Yawning I made my way over to The Finger.

(3rd POV)

Deep underground someplace In Equestria a being that has been asleep for ages awoke.

“That smell….” He rose for the first time in thousands of years. “That sweet, succulent smell…” He moaned out.

Rising to full height, the cave he was in shook violently until it caved in on him. Spreading his wings he got all the rubble of him. And looked out at the sky. “The sky, the baby blue sky! How long has it been since I flew in you.” Flapping his wings he launched into the air all the while searching for the direction the smell was coming from. After a minute of relishing in the smell, he found the source. “Ahhhh, I’m coming for you…” He took off in the direction of the smell.

(3rd POV)

Another being across the sea rose as she felt the magic of the other spike.

“That traitor is still alive!” She screamed and slammed her claw against the ground, causing it to freeze over. Looking over to a mountain she spoke. “I’ll bring you the traitor's head! Then you’ll wake up and tell me I did a good job, won’t you big brother.” The mountain twitched ever so slightly.

Author's Notes:

Here’s another chap! Sorry for it being so short, I just really wanted to get it out.

Also big thanks to Jason Monroe for editing the chapter!

I wonder what’s going to happen next chap? Here’s a new song to keep you entertained.

Chapter Ten: The Poison of Divinity

Jumping out of bed I felt a huge spike of magic coming from the south of me. “Well this is certainly interesting,” I said while walking over to the restroom. Opening the door I was greeted with a shower, toilet, and sink, nothing extravagant. Above the sink was a mirror that was encrusted in gold, which I was currently in front of.

This is the first time I’ve looked myself over without clothes on. My hollow hole is right below my neck, not in the middle of my chest like I thought. It’s a smallish hole. That’s when a thought hit me. Turning around to check my back I was greeted with a most beautiful sight. On my back was the Lion sin tattoo.

“Ahh, this is perfect. I always wanted a tattoo.” I comment as I begin preparing for a shower.

After getting situated I put my clothes back on and check up on the magic I felt earlier. It was approaching my location at a very fast pace. If I had to guess it’d be here in an hour at most.

The thing that was bugging me the most right now is that nobody was preparing for an attack. I could sense the mummies scurrying around, preparing for the day, but that was it.

Sighing, I spoke, “Let me see if this is a problem or not. Perfect Unknowable.” After I cast the spell I could feel that the being hesitated before it continued on its path towards us. Jumping out of the window I used Sonído to move from the treetops. I mean if I’m going to check out something, I can work on my control of reiatsu on the way.

As I was getting closer to the magic, I could see a figure off in the distance. Before long I saw the entire thing, no not thing, DRAGON. Something inside of me started bubbling. I could feel it, my darkness waiting to come out. But now isn’t the time, this can be a good learning experience for Simon and the other Sins. However, this dragon is massive. It’s a dark purple color, missing it’s right arm, and appears to be missing their left eye as well. Their whole body was also covered in scars.

Using Mana Essence I was surprised. Their mana was unlike any that I’ve seen before. It was a sickly purple that screamed that it would kill anything it touches. As I’m looking them over they turn their head in my direction.

At this point, I spread my wings and flew away because this is not my fight. I mean it is, but I want Simon and the Sins to go up against it.

Taking off in the direction of Canterlot I made it there in no time. Thanks to my being invisible, and untraceable I walked through the front doors of the castle. Arriving at the throne room, Sloth was talking to a pony. I guess I can wait for her to finish, she is a ruler after all.

“-ncess please, you don’t have to do this for me. All I wanted was a little rain for my farm.” The stallion said. He was a very skinny earth pony, who had an orange mane, big blue eyes, and white fur. He was dressed in a pair of brown overalls, that looked like they had seen better days.

Sloth chuckled slightly before responding, “Mr. Castellio are we not friends? This isn’t a royal duty of mine, I’m doing this as a favor to you for being there for me through the years.” Sloth said as she got up from her throne to hug Mr. Castellio before breaking it off. “Besides that old carrot farm is in need of some renovations.”

Saying this made the stallion shed a tear. Wiping it away he spoke, “Thank you Princess, no, I mean Celestia. I’ll see you later then, I don’t want to take up all of your time.” He walked past me on his way out. Leaving Sloth with a mellow expression on her face.

“Sloth, what do you think you're doing?” Saying this caused her to tense up and look around the room, to no avail. “ Cease your futile attempts of looking for me, for you shall not find me. I have erased my presence so the Dragon doesn’t figure out where I am.”

She raised an eyebrow. “Why are you hiding from a Dragon? I can feel the Draconic energy from here, I just assume that they are coming for a visit.” Looking out the window towards the magic she continued, “And from the amount of energy that I can feel there seems to be a lot coming.”

“You truly are slothful. That is only one dragon, and they seem to be coming for me.” I said much to her horror. “Also what do you mean Draconic energy? I only feel magic coming from that way.”

“Dragons don’t have magic. They have Draconic Energy.” She walked over to one of the guards present and whispered something in his ear. I saw his face fall before he bolted out the door as fast as he could. “Thank you for the warning, but you can handle this yourself you vile dem- Captain.”

I began to laugh. “I’m not going to do anything, as your captain I command that you figure this out on your own, along with Envy and Simon. Use your whole army for all I care.” Using my darkness I constructed a copy of myself and made it approach her. It grabbed her chin and looked her in the eyes. From its mouth I spoke, “I will only help if it seems like you will die.” With that, I walked out of the throne room and soon left the castle.

As Simon was in the kitchen teaching some of the mummies how to cook, he felt it. Dropping everything that he was doing he rushed over to his father's room. He slammed the door open. “FATHER WE NEE-“ He stopped mid-sentence as he noticed that Zeldris was not in there. Now that he thinks about it he can’t even feel Zeldris’s magic. ‘Where could he be in such a dire time! That thing is almost here, I need to get the Sins and James!’ Taking flight he made it to where James was in under a minute. What he saw shocked him.

James didn’t look the same as he did before. Now he had his upper face visible, while the bottom half was still covered in bandages. Atop his head was a white fedora that was covering shoulder length deep crimson hair. His skin was revealed to be a pretty peach color, and his eyes were white. He now adorned a white tailcoat. All along his back, there was a black bubble design that trailed up from the left side of the tailcoat to the right shoulder, wrapping around his right arm. His hands were still covered by bandages, but his fingers were exposed. He had on white slacks and a pair of black leather dress shoes.

James also had a panicked look. “Simon, thank Zeldris you're here! You also feel that magic power coming towards us.” He questioned as he ran up to the fallen.

Nodding Simon and James ran to the tower's main entrance and ran out. Just a little ways over was a hillside that was connected to an open area. Taking flight Simon grabbed James and flew to it. When they landed they could hear what sounded like wings flapping. It got closer and closer. Louder and louder. Until finally they could see it. A dragon. He landed on the hill and looked down on the two with his eye.

“Where is the one that smells like Nidavellir.” The dragon questioned as he stared at the two.

“Nidavellir? Like the old Norse legends?” Simon mumbled, however, the dragon heard it. And it brought a mad smile to his face.

“So you also have heard the legends! The realm of the dwarves, home to unlimited riches!” Lowering his head to get a better look at Simon he chuckled which made the ground shake. “Ah, it has been a long time. I didn’t think that the legend of Nidavellir would still be around. Now back to my question.”

This time it was James who spoke up. “Why should we even talk to one such as you? You don’t even have the manners to introduce yourself.” Simon looked over at James for a second not wanting to take his eyes off of the dragon. During that second he gave James the ‘are you crazy’ look.

The dragon seemed taken aback. He cleared his throat and took on a more proper posture. “How very rude of me. I am Pharmakon the God of Poison. The youngest brother of Telkons, who is the third child of the All-Father. You can call me Kon. Now, what are your names?”

Simon and James were not expecting him to say he was the ‘God of Poison’. Simon recollected himself faster than the mummy and spoke for him. “My friend to the right of me is James, the head butler of The Finger. And I am Simon Cain Morningstar. The creation of the Supreme Being, Zeldris. However, you can call me Cain.”

Kon seemed to be lost in thought before the feature of his face shifted downward into a scowl. “Supreme Being? You speak of Blasphemy, for the All-Father rules over all of existence. For that, you shall die…” The dragon took in a deep breath and started to build up Energy in the back of his throat. Simon flew upwards, while James leaped backward. Kon stopped gathering energy and looked out in the distance. “Thank you for having a conversation with me. It was fun Cain, James. But no one can escape my poison.”

Just as he was about to release his breath Simon acted. “Judgment of the Fallen, Holy Thunder!” The sky darkened and clouds formed a circle around the sun, which was shining brightly. Kon looked up, surprised by what was going on. For he had never seen magic such as this. Only for a moment, he saw a shimmer in the sky. The sun seemed to grow brighter and brighter until it was on him. Pure white thunder rained down from above him. Crying out in pain he released his breath.

James was in shock. He knew that Simon was powerful but, he didn’t know he was this strong. Taking the opportunity presented to him the mummy ran up and with his monstrous strength jumped above the poison cloud that was blocking his path. He reeled back his fist and hit the God of Poison in his eye, blinding him momentarily. Landing on the Dragon's snout he propelled himself away from the fight.

While James was doing all that Simon was trying to contain the poison. Just as Kon said it killed everything it touched, so the grass on the ground and everything on it died. The vegetation withered away leaving the ground bare. The ground was dried up, devoid of life.

Simon seeing that James blinded the god, took the chance to build up some magic. Unfortunately, Kon sensed it and swiped at Simon, barely missing. “I can feel your magic, Cain.” Kon continued to swipe at the fallen. “You can’t dodge forever!” Right after saying that Kon scratched Simon across his chest leaving three big claw marks. Regaining sight in his eye he saw Simon on the ground bleeding heavily. He sighed before speaking. “That was kinda boring. The mummy ran away. Those ponies are going to be fun to kill though.” Fixing his sight to the sky he saw a large battalion of Pegasi. Below them were Earth ponies and Unicorns armed for combat.

Once the ground troops came face to face with the dragon they could barely meet his eyes. “B-by order of the Prin-prin-princess you are to stand down!” The Earth pony's shaking knees looked like they were about to shake off of his body. Kon started to laugh loudly, shaking the ground in the process.

“Tell your princess I refuse…. Oh, wait! You won’t be alive, I’ll tell them myself.” He raised his tail and coated it in poison. Kicking Simon out of the way he charged at the ponies, squashing some in the process and began to spin madly. His poison killed all of them instantly. The Pegasi stood no chance either because he was so big he hit them with his wings tearing them apart. And the ones who didn’t get hit died from the poison.

After a couple of minutes, he stopped and marveled at his work. All that was left of the ponies were their skeletons. “Well, that was fun. I still need to find the one who smells of Nidavellir.” He started to flap his wings until he felt a sense of dread washed over him. He fell back to the ground with a thud and looked around. He could feel it, whoever they were wanted his death, no, his destruction.

Out the corner of his eye, he saw him. He was holding a sword that sent shivers down the almighty god's spine. Standing there with a weird looking sword with a blue blade with a golden edge was, Simon. Or as Kon said,

“Cain…”

Chapter Eleven: End of a Battle

Simon was standing there dry blood all over his chest and pants. Across his chest laid the scar that had begun to heal while he was down. His eye was activated and locked on Kon, who was standing there in shock.

Kon looked down on Simon's form and began to let about a low chuckle. “I see you have gotten serious.” The dragon said. He crouched down before speaking again. “It appears I will have to take this somewhat seriously.” Steam started to rise from his scales. His form started to shrink down and the whole area became covered in a cloud of steam, which was hot to the touch.

After the steam dived down it revealed a humanoid figure standing where Kon was completely naked. He had bright orange spiky hair, tan skin, pointy ears, and one pale yellow eye. He had a deep claw mark across his left eye that looked like it wasn’t fully healed.. Kon opened it when he saw Simon looking, and all that was there was an empty eye socket. “How do you like this, Cain? Does my new form frighten you?” He stopped to look himself over. “I better give myself some clothes.” The same poisonous fog from before flowed from his hands and made its way all over his body, enveloping him. The cloud subsided and the god of poison was fully clothed. The poison solidified on him to make a dark purple skin tight long sleeve shirt that resembled spandex. He had a black fingerless glove on his hand. He also had on black military pants with a white belt and no shoes.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been in this form. Now shall we be-” Kon narrowly dodged a slash from Simon. Not letting The dragon get time to recover Simon started to slash rapidly at him. After about a minute Simon slowed down his pace giving Kon an opening to punch him in the face with his scaled hand. “How do you like that!” The god boasted only to get hit by the blunt side of Durandal. He went flying into the forest tearing down the trees as he went through, until hitting a boulder that was randomly there.

Simon slowly walked over to where his enemy was. His mind was cloudy, he couldn’t tell what was going on. His mind was so far gone he only snapped back to reality when Kon grabbed his head and slammed it into the earth. Kon raised Simon to eye level and began kicking him in the stomach. The whole time this was going on Simon was glaring at him. The fallen raised his hand which was soon covered in a magic circle. “Maximize magic: Dragon lightning” Kon immediately sensed that something was wrong and had his wings sprout out of his back. He took off into the air all the while Being chased by a huge dragon made out of lightning. Simon laughed softly, “I never thought this spell would be useful but hey, this is the perfect opportunity to use it.” Simon slowed his breathing and pointed his sword at Kon who was zig-zagging around the sky trying to avoid the previous attack. A silver magic circle appeared at the point of his sword. “Slow!”

Kon felt himself slow down considerably, and tried to block the incoming attack, but he was too late. The dragon was soon enveloped by the lightning attack and let out a howl of pain. He hurdles to the ground, creating a crater on impact.

Jumping out of the crater Kon had cuts and burns all along his body. He used his poison to make the shape of a spear which it solidified into. He thrusted at Simon with all his might. Simon raised his blade and deflected the blow away from him then kicked Kon in the stomach making distance between them.

As Kon got up and threw his spear at him, Simon grabbed the spear mid air and threw it right back. This didn’t work like he thought it would as Kon grabbed the spear which had both he and Simons force behind it and returned it to the fallen. The spear punctured Simon's side leaving a hole in it.

Kon started to laugh but was cut off as Simon spoke. “You know, as a fallen I have an affinity for three different types of magic. Holy/Light and Lightning are the ones you have already seen.” Simon stuck his hand towards the sky sending shivers down Kons spine. “The other one you haven’t seen is Darkness. Black Lightning!” The spell came down fast and hit Kon dead on kicking up a dust cloud.

The dust settled but Kon was nowhere to be found.

The dragon god was hovering in the air above Simon holding two purple orbs. He was shirtless, showing all of the scars he had painted on his body. Burn marks adorned his skin after that attack as well. He held his hand above his head causing the two orbs to start spinning. With a yell he threw down the orbs, which seemed to bend the air, at Simon. They combined in the air as they were making their descent and grew bigger than Simon himself.

Seeing there was no way to dodge the attack, Simon gathered the rest of his magic in Durandal and unleashed a slash the size of Kons attack at him. The two attacks clashed in the air one side of purple, the other of a brilliant white. Upon impact, the two both exploded.

Kon and Simon both knew that they were in the range of the explosion with no way out. Simon dropped his sword to the ground, while Kon let himself free fall towards the ground accepting their fate. That is until they heard someone speak.

“Perfect Cube.”

The explosion from the spells was sealed off in a light purple cube. The surrounding shook as the spells hit the walls of the cube. The explosion soon subsided to the relief of Simon and Kon. However, once the cube was dispelled Zeldris landed between the two on the ground.

(Zeldris POV)

As I landed I looked over the damage that these two shirtless buffoons caused. The dragon however seemed to sense my power and wilted under my gaze. Turning to Simon he smiled and fell to the ground unconscious. Taking my grimoire out immediately caused the dragon to pounce on me.

“A greedy one aren't you,” I said in a low tone as he was on his knees begging for the book. Looking over him I noticed how weird his hair is, it’s bright orange. Strange. What can you expect from this colorful world? Another key detail that I saw through the burn marks covering his torso was what looks like a red fox tattoo on the left side of his waist. “Oh, Faust must favor me for she brought you to me, Greed.” The dragon, I overheard his name was Kon, had a shocked expression on his face.

“Umm, what are you talking about? Well, I don’t really care; can I have that book?” He said as he rose to full height annoying me in the process since he’s so tall.

“No, you may not have this book. Howe-”

“PLEASE! Just give me the book, it smells so good! I don’t know what it is about it, but I need to have it.” Kon fell to the ground and crossed his legs while sitting. “If I can’t have the book then I’m either going to die trying to take it from you, or I’m leaving.” He pouted like a child.

My eyebrow started to twitch. “Listen, how about this, I’ll pay you in gold if you come to work for me. How does that sound.”

Kon shot up, and lifted me off the ground in a hug.. It was not fun. At my glare he put me back down. “Deal! Now tell me about this job.”

As we spoke I picked up Simon and we both flew to the tower together. James was there waiting for us. As we entered I had James take Kon and show him around The Finger, while I healed Simon and brought him to his room. I jumped out of the window and decided to fly around the Everfree to get some fresh air after what just happened.

“What is this?” As I was flying I saw a thick mist/fog surrounding a large portion of the forest. In the middle of it seemed to be a Massive tree. Flying to get a closer look I entered the mist but it shot me back out. “What in the hell?” Trying again got me nowhere. However, I kept trying and trying, until I had enough. “You son of a bitch let me IN!” At this point, I was just mad and started to shoot at the mist with magic and reiatsu.

As I was in the middle of showing the mist who was boss I heard something rip. Checking myself over I noticed that nothing on me had ripped. Looking around in confusion I heard it again. I could tell that it was close to me as I felt a peculiar magic in the air. It felt like it was some kind of light or harmony magic. Going to the source I found what appears to be tears in reality. Another tear happened in front of me causing a portal to open up. When it did, a couple of seconds went by until it spat out a being. After it did that the portal closed in on itself.

“I’ve seen you before, but where?” I said to myself as I looked over the form of the unconscious being. Then it clicked. “Oh, I never expected to see you here…”

Author's Notes:

So this came out shorter than I would have liked but it’s ok. School really doesn’t want me to have free time with all these assignments they’re posting.

Once again a huge thank you to Jason Monroe for once again editing this mess I call a chapter!

I wonder if anyone can guess who the mysterious being is? I left a clue for you so good luck!

Chapter Twelve: A Divine Intervention, Mystery of the fog revealed!

Examining over my newly arrived guest he looks exactly like he did in the anime. However, he was also injured.

His black and dark gray gi were in tatters. He had cuts and bruises along his body. He was wearing a porta earring on his left ear, his tail is wrapped around him. He is slimmer than I would have expected. The one before me was none other than Goku Black.

“Hmmm, I hope he’s not the actual Black. That could be bad.” I say to myself as I circle around him. “Nah, I could take him. I think I’m stronger than him, maybe.” As I was thinking aloud Black suddenly shot up.

“Son of a bitch!” Black had shouted, he immediately started to groan from his injuries. He held onto his left shoulder and put a hand to the side of his head. “I don’t remember the Elements of Harmony giving anyone pain.”

“So you were hit by the Elements, that explains it.” Zeldris said, startling the Saiyan.

Black in an instant, got to his feet and put on a fighting stance, similar to Goku’s. “Who the bloody hell are you?” Black said, preparing for a fight. His entire body was shaking from being injured from whatever battle he was in.

Zeldris raising his hands in an attempt to calm Black spoke. “I wouldn’t be so quick to fight in your state. Why don’t you settle down before you start a fight you can’t win.” Zeldris said as he released some bloodlust at Black.

Black felt some of the power radiated from Zeldris, begrudgingly, he loosened his stance and stood normally. “Sorry for being so hostile, just came out of a fight and a mental struggle.” Black had explained, confusing Zeldris a little.

“Mental struggle?” Zeldris questioned with a brow raised. “No matter, I have a question. Are you the real Goku Black?” While saying this Zeldris pulled out some strawberries from his inventory and threw them to Black.

Black with his quick reflexes, he caught the strawberries and looked at them curiously. Shrugging, he popped one of the fruits into his mouth and ate it. “I can assure you, I’m not the real Goku Black, but he is here,” Black said as he popped a few more strawberries into his mouth. Within a few seconds, all the strawberries were all gone.

“I see, so you're a displaced then. I’m just meeting you guys every other day now.” Zeldris said to the confusion of Black.

“Displaced, what do you mean by that?” Black said as he slowly sat on the floor to conserve some energy.

“Well you see,” Zeldris began only to stop and fly up to look at the mist. Black watched curiously as a humanoid being flew out of the fog. He had long insect-like wings, along with long pink hair, and a face that resembled a female child. Floating alongside him was a sword. “What are you doing here Gloxinia?” Zeldris questioned fiercely.

"Who are you?” Gloxinia growled as he reached for his sword and pointed it at Zeldris. “And what are you doing in King Gar’s Forrest?”

At that Zeldris became ever more confused. “King Gar? Are you referring to that big smiling monster?” Zeldris relaxed after Gloxinia nodded.

“Some of those damn ponies refer to him as such,” He said through gritted teeth. “Why he refers to himself in such a manner I know not. He is the Fairy King and as such should be treated with the utmost respect, especially for what he’s done for that city of worthless snobs on the mountain!”

Zeldris looked down to where Black was and saw him observing the whole interaction curiously. “Hey Goku Black, can you fly with those injuries or do I need to carry you?” The demon questioned.

Black nodded, “I think I can manage for a while, so in other words, Yes.” Black said. Slowly floating into the air, arriving next to Zeldris.

Turning to Gloxinia, Zeldris noticed that he seemed to be rather annoyed that he ignored him. “Hey you, take us to Gar. Now.”

“Why should I listen to a pony?” Gloxinia snarled. “Your kind are nothing but greed with holes in your hearts that you think you must fill, I see yours has worn straight through to your skin.”

Out of the hole in his chest, Zeldris pulled out his Zanpakuto and pointed it at Gloxinia. “I will not repeat myself, insect. That was a direct order from the one who made your king a King.” While he was talking, Zeldris used despair aura to make himself even more threatening.

“Brother enough!” Gerheade flew down next to her brother. “I apologize for my brother’s rudeness but he is just doing his job as the captain of the guard for the most part,” She gave a sincere bow. “It is King Gar’s policy to welcome those who come to see him when he’s in but he’s resting at the moment. If you want though, I can lead you to the throne clearing. Perhaps he’ll wake if someone who isn’t fairy is in his presence. Would this be acceptable?”

Lowering his sword, Zeldris gave a simple nod to her offer. “Come now Black, let’s go see my friend.”

They all flew into the mist and was greeted with a beautiful sight. A huge cherry tree stood in the middle of a lush green forest. Fairies much like the ones Gloxinia and Gerheade were flying around along with what appeared to be pony fairies.

“Wow.” Both Black and Zeldris said at the same time upon taking in the sight of the Fairy King's Forest.

Gerheade chuckled at their reactions. “This way please.”

They all flew to the top of the tree where they found Gar in his tire from sleeping on his throne.

“Are you bigger now than the last time I saw you?” Zeldris mumbled to himself. He faced his hand towards Gar’s sleeping form and a yellow magic circle appeared. “Triple Maximize Magic: Magic Arrow.” Two more magic circles appeared next to the first one and all three mana arrows fired at Gar.

The thorn necklace around Gar’s necklace quickly activates and transforms into the Emerald Octo to cover its mater in a shield of vines from the arrows.

“Bastard!” Gloxinia yelled as he drew his sword again.

“QUIET!” Gar roared silencing his captain. The Baquias returned to its necklace form. “Who shoots mana arrows at a being while they sleep,” Gar remarked as his gaze met with Zeldris. “And how did you get to my world old friend?”

“I was walking through the Everfree and before I knew it the mist had surrounded me. Then this guy comes out of nowhere,” Zeldris uses his thumb to point ot Black. “He’s pretty beat up and I met with dipshit over there.”

“You-” Gloxinia glared.

“Brother,” Gerheade held on to his arm. “You are no match for a high-level demon like him anyways. He’s the King’s friend so let him be.”

“Your devotion and eagerness are both admirable and foolish,” Zeldris looked over. “Know your place, worm!” Zeldris activated his Spiritual pressure case Gloxinia to kneel.

“You have gotten stronger old friend,” Gar got to his feet. “I see you are now an Arrancar. How did this come to be? And how are you here in my world Black?” his gaze narrowed on the Saiyan.

“Uh… to be honest with you, I’m not completely sure. The last thing I know is getting hit by the Elements of Harmony in order to stop Nightmare Moon.” Black had explained.

“You were probably forced out of your world by magic overload most likely,” Gar scratched the side of his face. “Now to you Zeldris. How did you become a hollow?”

“I may or may not have had an encounter with your other brother, the Asta displaced.” Zeldris then pointed at the broken hollow mask around his neck. “His Sacred Treasure was the Combat Pass and he let me use it. And that’s how I became part Arrancar.” Zeldris brought out his Zanpakuto and threw it to Gar, who immediately began to study it.

Gar was about to speak but Black cut him off. “Back to my question. What’s a displaced?” Black had a look of impatience across his face as he crossed his arms, slowly tapping his foot against the floor.

Zeldris looked over to Gar, “You tell him.”

“Displace is short for Dimensionally Misplaced,” Gar began. “In short we are what we are. We are humans that are sent across the multiverse to other worlds usually in new form with new powers by some means or another. Usually, it involves buying something from what’s called a merchant though there are alternatives like Zeldris and my middle brother. We send out items called tokens with a phrase attached to them that allow us to be summoned to other worlds or to summon others to our world,” Gar held up his hand to reveal an old telescope. “By doing this we meet others and sometimes gain powers that we never had before. So of us even reach near goddam, these are Displaced that have left their worlds for some reason or another to roam the Void. They are called Void Dwellers. Not all of them leave their worlds but still have the power to do so. My oldest brother is one such case. Shall I heal your wounds?”

Black was really confused by the explanation, “I’d like that.” Black said, but then started to reminisce on what Gar had explained to him. ‘Huh, who’d know. A whole 1015 years and I’ve never known I was a displaced, this will be something interesting to tell Celestia and Lulu once I find a way back home.’ Black had thought.

As Gar was about to transform Basquias into its Moon rose form Zeldris stepped in between them. “Hang on, I just thought of an idea.” He said as he used his magic to create a cup. “Black why don’t you give us some of your blood?” He said with a sinister smile on his face.

The Saiyan recoiled a bit and got into a defensive stance, “Alright, first of all, Eww. Two, The fuck, and three, WHY?!” Black had shouted, furrowing his eyes and scowled at Zeldris.

“Aww come on, it’s not that big of a deal,” Zeldris said as he took a step towards Black, making the Saiyan step back. “It’s for the benefit of my friend Gar. He has an ability called Transpork, I know the name is ridiculous, that lets him take on the abilities of whatever he eats. So it just makes sense for him to get some of that Saiyan blood.” Black still looked like he was on the defensive side. “How about we make a deal?”

Black still wasn't comfortable but had loosened his stance. “Are you sure about this, if I gave you a cup of my blood? He will have the unrivaled power of a Saiyan, and we both know Saiyan’s have no limits, that will make him unstoppable.” Black had explained, a drop of sweat rolled off his cheek. Black was nervous about this.

“Oh that won’t matter, I am infinitely stronger than Gar in every way possible.” Zeldris’ freehand became enveloped in a green fire as he reached for Black. “In exchange for the blood, I’ll grant you power. How does that sound.” He asked as he inched his hand closer.

Black, looking nervously at Zeldris’s flaming hand. Gulping, he stood freely and rolled up a sleeve and held out his arm. “Just make it quick, I fucking hate needles as of already,” Black said with a surprising look on his face. ‘Man, me and Goku have a few things in common.’ Black thought.

Zeldris grabbed Black’s hand. “The deal is set.” The fire traveled up Black’s arm startling him. “Oh and needles, we don’t do that here.” Zeldris grabbed his sword and cut Black’s arm off by mistake. He dropped the cup on the ground and caught the arm. The fire extinguished and the demon looked back to Gar. “Heal him up. I don’t want blood sullying your floors.”

Black was cursing so much, Ryan Reynolds would be proud. “FUCKING POPO! A SWORD, AND CUTTING OFF AN ARM WAS EVEN WORSE YOU SACK OF SHIT!” Black shouted at Zeldris, veins threatening to pop out of his head.

“What can I say, I slipped.” Zeldris shrugged.

“Oh, hush,” Gar slightly shook his as a vine grows from his necklace into the Moon Rose. “Droplet of Life,” A droplet of high condense magic fill from the plant onto Black stump immediately revitalizing him and growing a new arm. “There, you are. Perhaps your Zenkai kicked in too.”

Gar was correct. Black had looked at his regrown hand, opening and closing it a few times. With a smirk, he popped his neck a few times and got into a stance, and let out a mighty yell. His hair flew into the air and turned into pink, with his eyebrows doing the same, except for his eyes which had gone grey. A dark red and purple aura surrounded him with sparks of lightning surrounding him. The power was enough to shake the tree and the pressure was immense. “Yup.” Black put a hand loosely in front of his face and grinned. “I believed the zenkai had definitely kicked in,” Black said as he just went Super Saiyan Rose, he then proceeded to go back to his base form.

“I guess it’s my turn then,” Gar remarked as a tendril grabbed onto Black’s discarded arm and the cup of blood from Zeldris. “Black, you may want to look away,” Gar advised.

Raising an eyebrow, “Uh, why would I want to look away?” Zeldris snickered. “The hell you laughing for, I still haven’t forgotten you, have I.” Black frowned.

“I gave a fair warning, did I not Zeldris?” Gar looked at his friend.

“You sure did.” Zeldris waved dismissively.

“What the fuck are you two talking about?!” Black said, annoyed that no one is answering his question.

“This will be most tasty,” Gar commented as he opened his maw and started to ravenously devour the arm. With a sickening crack and a squelching he thoroughly enjoyed his snack before he downed the cup of blood. “Most satisfying!” he licked his teeth and his body started to glow. “POWER!” He roared as a yellow aura surrounded the giant and he sprouted a tail similar to Black’s. “This will take some getting used to”

“That is always so fun to watch!” Zeldris exclaimed as and began to laugh.

Black’s eyes widened when gar had consumed his arm. But kept his cool. “You know what, that’s not even the worst thing I’ve seen so far. I’d give that a 7/10…” Black said plainly. Zeldris looked at him a little surprised and quirked an eye, Black seeing this explained. “What, you think that’s worse. After around a thousand years, plus with the memories of Goku Black killing every child in the universe slowly with a laugh. Or how about having two mind fucking parasites in said mind.”

Zeldris hummed in thought. “Why yes, that does sound quite horrid. Having two mind parasites doesn’t sound like fun. He said to Black’s horror. “And who hasn’t killed a child before? This world is survival of the fittest.”

“This is true,” Gar agreed.

“But the thing is, I see it every night when I sleep. And it isn't the same dream either…” Black said quietly looking down. “He usually does it slowly by first killing the child's parents, then proceeding to slowly cut off every child’s limb off slowly before slicing the head off with his ki blade. The worst of it is that I see it from his perspective, and I'm the one laughing.” Black growled as he started to shake with anger. Bits of ki started to flow off of him slowly.

“Yes, I understand what you're saying now. A tragedy that you had to endure that.” Zeldris then smiled. “Here’s a fun little story. When I was five years old I was living in the alleyways with my little brother who was only two. One day I got lucky and managed to steal some bread from a bakery, but when another kid found out he came over and tried to take it for himself. I killed him for the sake of my little brother, so that he may eat and not starve. And that’s when I found out what the cruel reality of life is, adapting. You have to adjust to it in the best way possible. You can’t possibly take responsibility for everything that you’ve done if it was in order to survive. Take that to heart, even if those weren’t the worlds you were looking for.” Looking around he saw Gar looking at him in what he believed to be a pity. It disgusted Zeldris. “Moving on, Black are you ready to get your new power?”

“For parazytes, only think of how we can survive and how to best achieve that,” Gar added. “The emotions do play a small part in it for me, like when I Lose control from seeing certain things.”

“Yeah, let’s just get it over with,” Black said with a hint of venom. ‘How about you try and live in a world without a family, jackass.’ Black thought.

Zeldris could feel the hostility radiating off Black. “Even after I went out of my way to try to make you feel better, you still have that venom in your tone.” Zeldris then slightly raised his head and began to look down on Black. “You disappoint me. If not for the deal, I don’t think I would have given you any power, for you are too blinded by something you didn’t do. Get over it.”

“Only if you knew what hell I had to endure before becoming one of these ‘Displaced’.” Black said, furrowing his eyes.

“Only if you realized what I had to endure before becoming Displaced.” Zeldris then walked up to Black and poked him in the chest. “Tell me, how many people were you forced to kill? How many have you sentenced to death?”

“It is this way with many of our kind Black,” Gar stated. “We are Displaced for a second chance. I was nothing but a husk of a man simply living my life from day to day never a true want in my heart. I was sent here and had my emotions dulled to the point of near none existence. I met Zecora and she opened her home to me, then Twilight and her friends. I felt compelled to save them for Zecora’s sake but soon came to realize it was what I wanted to do. This forest is my home my domain, the fairies here,” Gar motioned to the siblings. “I protect them. Do not waste time living a life that is no longer yours and don’t hold the deeds of the one you are Displaced as your own and most of all, don’t acknowledge him as you.”

Black had listened and calmed down a little, but still felt a bubble of hate. Black then set up a telepathic connection to Zeldris and whispered. ‘At Least you had a brother, some part of a family.’ Black turned his back to the demon and crossed his arms, ‘I didn’t, nobody loved me.’

Zeldris then looked over to Gar, who heard the small conversation, the fairy king merely shook his head. Zeldris looked down, thinking of what to say but couldn’t find the words. Sighing, he spoke, “What do you want first, magic or a Sacred treasure.”

Black slowly looked over his shoulder, glaring at Zeldris. But then it softened and he sighed. “Sacred Treasure, then magic. After that, I need to blow off some steam…”

Before giving Black his powers Zeldris used ‘Message’ ‘You can count yourself lucky, for I consider you tolerable.’ Before Black could respond he ended the message and looked to Gar. His theory was correct, Gar cannot hear a message between two people so he was saved from that little embarrassment.

“I will offer you one more piece of advice Black,” Gar looked the Saiyan straight in the eyes. “Instead of focusing on what you didn’t have then, you should focus on what you do have now, and what you have just gotten back.” He poked Black in the chest. “As long as you keep the one sliver of hatred in your heart, he will always have a way out.”

Black knew what Gar was talking about and scowled. “I know, can’t let the fucking genocidal maniac out of his prison along with his new roommate,” Black said sarcastically with a smirk a little and turned back to Zeldris. “Also, sorry about that, kinda had that held up for a while.”

“You're pathetic.” Black was taken aback by the comment as he had just apologized to Zeldris. “After I complete my end of the deal I have a present for you, so you stop being so pathetic. “Search my mind! Choose a worthy weapon for the one I behold! Memory-make magic: Sacred Treasure!”

Gar closed his eyes as a bright light enveloped both Zeldris and Black, as the light died down all three were surprised by what they saw. A pillar of black iron twenty feet in height and the width of a barrel was standing in between the demon and the Saiyan. Zeldris went to grab it but couldn’t really get a good grip on it. When Black went to grab it, it shrunk in his hand until it was only a little taller than him and as thick as a bowl of rice.

“This Black is Ruyi Jingu Bang, the staff of the Monkey King.” Before black could say anything more information came to Zeldris. “Quickly, let’s go outside while the Sun is out!” He rushed them out of the tree, in vain as the moon was in the sky.

“Thank fucking god it isn’t a full moon, that would be catastrophic,” Black said aloud. Looking at the moon did soothe his mind, making him smile at the lunar object.

“You're lucky I convinced Luna to implement lunar cycles,” Gar commented.

“Well whatever.” Zeldris kicked at the ground. “When the Sun is out the staff will be banded with two golden rings on each side along with the inscription 如意金箍棒重一萬三千五百斤 which means ‘The Compliant Golden-Hooped Rod. Weight: thirteen thousand five hundred catties’.”

Black looked blankly at Zeldris with confusion, “And what do these golden bands do to the staff?” Black asked.

Zeldris shrugged. “I don’t know, it just looks cool. And just think about it, it's gold and black. It matches your color scheme.” Black was about to speak again but was cut off. “It’s basically the power pole from Dragon Ball, but it also has the ability to copy itself. A little trick instead of carrying it around on your back is to shrink it to the size of a needle and stick it behind your ear.”

“I already knew what the pole was when it shrunk down. Plus, I’d rather have it on my back than the size of a needle, could lose it easily in that size.” Black said.

“It’s literally over a thousand pounds, if you drop it you’ll know by the crater it makes,” Zeldris said as he rolled his eyes.

“Which is why I’ll always have it on me, where no one can accidentally take it..” Black said as he put his hands behind his head.

“I have a thought,” Gar looked at Zeldris. “You can manipulate memories correct?” he waved a hand in the air.

“That was the present which was supposed to be a surprise,” Zeldris said as he crossed his arms.

Goku Black looked at the both of them confused. “I thought this power pole was my present?” Black said while scratching his head.

“You are as stupid as Goku. I said you will get a Sacred treasure, the staff. I’ll give you access to magic. Then I said I will give you a present out of goodwill.” The demon said as he took out his staff from his inventory. The magical pressure in the area increased significantly.

“How may I help?” Gar came over.

“Who said I need your help.” Zeldris said in defiance. “However if you wanted to contribute for some reason, pour some of your magic into my staff.” Gar walked forward and placed a hand on The Staff of Yggdrasil and began to feed it magic. After a minute of constant magic flow, Zeldris spoke up, “That is enough, I don’t want you to wear yourself out.” Zeldris grabbed onto the staff and began to absorb the magic. “I’ve been waiting to do this for a while now. This feels like the right moment.” Darkness began to seep from all over Zeldris until it enveloped his whole body, soon it all began to flow into one point. Zeldris’ demon mark had expanded to the middle of his forehead, and down his left eye. He just transformed into his second form. The second demon mark, allowing access to more of his power.

“Are you ready?” Zeldris asked Black.

“Nope, but fuck it.” Black said with a smirk.

“Good answer,” Gar commented.

Before Black even knew what happened Zeldris grabbed onto his forehead. “I’ve never had to use this spell. Hopefully, it doesn’t hurt. Control Amnesia!” Zeldris went into the Saiyan’s mind and found the memories of three separate beings within Black’s mind. Peering into one he saw what looked to be a nightmare moon, not his target. The only other two orbs were Black and Silver. Taking a guess he peered into the Black one and guessed correctly. He watched scenes of a man who looked like Black murdering millions. Zeldris placed his hand on the orb of memories and began to channel magic in it. “Magic Destruction!” The orb turned to dust, leaving only two left in his mind. Exiting Black’s mind he sighed, “Damn that was a lot of death.”

Black fell onto his back and began to gasp for air, “Y-you don’t… know the h-half of it.” Black chuckled a little.

“Stop whining and get up.” Zeldris said as he opened and closed his hand a few times.

“Says you, how about you have an entire existing mind eviscerated from the said mind, hurts like hell,” Black said as he hopped back onto his feet. “All that’s left is Nightmare Moon, but I think I’ll keep her a while,” Black said as he chuckled darkly.

Zeldris went to see what Gar had to say about that comment, but the Parasyte was nowhere to be found. Searching for his magical signature, Zeldris saw that Gar had gone off to the side and was speaking with the fairy sibling on something before rejoining the group. Zeldris found it odd that his friend was able to hide his presence so well indicating that Gar had indeed grown much stronger since they'd last met but decided to refocus on Black for the time being.

Zeldris cracked his neck and sighed. “Your laugh is annoying.” The demon walked over to Black and began to inspect his body. As he made his way behind Black he stopped and curiously looked at his tail. “This is a liability in battle, would you like me to get rid of it?”

Black look at Zeldris like he was crazy, “Alright, first my arm, now my tail. What, do you have a fetish for cutting off limbs.” Zeldris just looked at him annoyed. “Look, I kinda need this tail for a certain transformation. Plus, it may not do much but it does boost my power a lot.” Black explained.

Shrugging Zeldris made his way back to the front of Black. “So now it’s time for your magic, which I wanted to give you before getting rid of the memories, I digress.” Zeldris placed a hand on Black’s stomach causing him to jump. “Oh come on I’m not taking another limb or anything, settle down. Ok, so now I will be inserting mana into your body at this point right here.” Taking his thumb he poked Black right below his belly button before placing his hand flat on his stomach again. “I know you have already mastered Ki control, so hopefully this will be easy. However, I do not have the ability you use Ki so all we can do is hope.” Zeldris looked Black in the eyes. “Are you ready?”

“Yea, this should be interesting,” Black said, looking back at Zeldris.

Zeldris began to gradually insert mana into Black, who felt the intrusion immediately. “I want you to try to control it, try to make a circle.” Even with all the years of experience Black has had he was struggling. His body kept trying to overpower the magic with Ki hoping to squish the magic. “It’s not an infection so there is no need to fight it out of your system. I know that it will be difficult with the energy’s clashing, but you need to get it under control.” Zeldris then began to pour even more mana into Black.

The Saiyan was gritting his teeth as he tried to get the magic under control, but his ki was pushing the mana out of his body like a parasite. Black then got an idea. He closed his eyes, concentrating on a particular being lurking inside his head. He opens his eyes to a black void, floating endlessly. He then sees the dark mare, no longer wearing her silver armor, her star-filled mane now limply hanging to her side. She even looked depressed, but that didn’t affect the Saiyan, not after what she’s done. “Well well well, look’s like your plan worked did it…” Black said with a smile, his voice echoing through the void. This had surprised the mare and she immediately got to her hoofs and got in a defensive stance.

“Oh, will you just leave me alone already!” She said, her voice fills to the brim with venom. “You’ve already ruined my plans, my life, WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT!!!” Nightmare Yelled, shaking the void a little. However, Black hadn’t flinched at all, instead, he had actually smiled.

“I’ve come to make a small offer,” Black said, gaining the mare’s attention.

She scowled, “What is this ‘Offer’ you speak of.” Black grinned as he walked over to Nightmare.

“Oh, it’s something I need help with right now, you would understand.” Black then created two chairs and a coffee table, with a full-on tea set. He sat down and grab a cup and pour some steaming hot tea into it. “Tea?” Nightmare almost looked disgusted by the idea of having tea with him, but she let out a sigh and sat down with him. He then proceeded to pour some tea into her cup. “Right now I’m currently having magic being poured into my body and my ki isn’t so happy with it. It’s pushing the mana out like some sort of parasite.” Black explained, catching Nightmare’s interest. “Now this could end up in two ways for my body, one is that it could cause permanent damage to my body due to it acting differently with ki. Or I could simply detonate, who knows. But are you willing to take that risk?” Black looked Nightmare Moon in the eyes.

Nightmare looked a bit nervous at this but glared back at him. “But what’s in it for me, something like this should give me something big in return.”

“Freedom, a second chance at life?” Black had listed down, surprising Nightmare. “Now don’t think I’m giving you a chance at taking over the world, no. I’m giving you a chance at a new life, one where you can live happily among the ponies. This is a once in a life-time offer,” Black leans closer to Nightmare and glared at her, “Make the right choice.”

Nightmare had set her cup of tea down and began to ponder on her choices. She could either help Black and get a new chance at life, or she could refuse and be stuck in his mind forever and possibly watch him detonate. She had been siding towards the former, but then she settled on her choice. “Fine, I’ll bite.” She said.

Black grinned and clapped his hands together. “Great, how about we shake on it.” He said as he put his hand forward, wiggling his fingers a little. Nightmare looked on with disgust. She hesitantly grabbed him and shook it.

“You know I hate you,”

“Oh I know,” Black said, chuckling. The void had now completely collapsed all around them, his vision being obscured by the black shards of his mind. He opened his eyes to see Zeldris looking at him with an eye quirked. “Looks like things are settled now.”

“What is that supposed to mean?” Zeldris questioned. Black didn’t answer as he saw a look of realization on his face. “How did Ki settle down so quickly? Your mana pool is already created as well!” The demon exclaimed in shock.

“Let’s just say I came to an agreement with the dark side of the moon,” Black said with a devious smirk.

“Did you know? May I inquire about what said agreement is about?” Zeldris asked curiously.

“Well, I knew ki wasn’t going to mix well with magic at first, so I decided to persuade Nightmare Moon into helping me out. Begrudgingly, she agreed but wanted something more in return.” Black crossed his arms and look serious. “So I offered her at a second chance at life, not as a pony to be feared, but to be welcomed by the ponies.” Black had explained.

“I never had to deal with Nightmare moon before,” Zeldris stated bluntly. A smirk came on to his face. “You offered her a second chance at life? How do you plan to live up to that deal? If you only have Goku Blacks powers I don’t know how you're going to do it. What are you going to go find the dragon balls?” Zeldris laughed out the last sentence.

Black had let out a hearty laugh, “Ah, only if it were that easy, they don’t even exist back in my Equestria.” Black explained. “Also, who said I was going to do it.” Black let out a knowing smirk towards Zeldris, confusing him at first before he realized.

The air in the room grew tense as Zeldris began to let out waves of Reaistu. “Who do you think I am? You think I would bend over backwards and do something for you, that you did not even have the courtesy to ask me beforehand?” Black’s face fell as he didn’t expect this sort of reaction from the demon. “Know your place.”

“I’d thought you act like this," Black sighed, rolling his eyes.

"If I may be so bold as to cut in," Gar announced as he'd overheard the conversation. "We know that you can create undead and humminculi Zeldris but I suspect you have never worked with an already existing soul. I will suggest that I provide a body for Nightmare Moon by using my unique skill 'Split' that allows me to clone myself any number of times given I have the magic to do so. The clones are nowhere near the strength as when I use my physical split so she will not gain a massive amount of power from the body," He explained. "Though, giving that its is still a biological clone it will still have all of my power but to a much lesser degree."

"So what's he saying exactly?" Black looked at Zeldris.

Zeldris rolled his eyes while crossing his arms and shaking his head. "He's offering to make a body but the downside is she'll have access to downgraded versions of all his powers," Zeldris sighed. "On the upside, she still won't be a match for you."

"What all can you do though?" Black's attention shifted to Gar with a quirked eyebrow.

"In general, shapeshifting, blade generation made of organic metals found in the body, regeneration, darkness control due to my demon nature along with their natural magics like Hellbalze, Fairy biology meaning wings like mine as well as their ability to commune with nature and control plants," Gar listed. "She will not get my personal magic of Transpork but have to awaken her own magics. Lastly, there is now the manor of Saiyan biology. I can however remove some traits, during the creation of the body, like removing them or dulling them greatly. One factor being the clone won't have a mind and the sex will be a female variant of this form. Eventually, she'll be able to change her form to that of what she wants. Zeldris will be able to get to experiment with soul manipulation and I will see what factors I can influence in my clones. How does that sound?" He asked looking down to the two other Displaced.

Black starred into the night sky and spoke in his mind. ‘What do you say Nightmare Moon?’ Black asked the spirit. He could practically feel her sighing throughout his body.

‘I’ve got no choice so I? Buck it.’

‘That’s the spirit.’ Black looked to Zeldris with a smile. “So, what do you say?”

Zeldris glared at Black, then looked over to Gar. The parasyte merely locked eyes with Zeldris then looked away. “You owe me, monkey.”

“Oh, I know that.” Black growled, offended at the comment of being called a ‘monkey’

"Well then," Gat remarked, breaking the silence. "Let's get started. Unique Skill: Spilt," He said and he began to glow white. "Alter cloning, no mind, gender status changed to female, basic physical traits, physical size, and height set to average human and pony, unique magic undetermined." Gar listed off these and then stepped back leaving what appeared to be a hard light copy of himself.

The copy then shrank down to be a little shorter than Black. The hair grew out and then gain more feminine features but still retained its parents’ physical features. The most notable features were the fanged smile with four eyes on the face and long dark violet hair that ran down to the middle of the back, a furry brown tail similar to Black's, and the light-up technicolor butterfly-like wings determining that of Fairy Royalty. The darkness pattern changed to a crescent pattern and its cover area changed to that of the lower part of the body, particularly the right leg. While the upper part of the body it covered was mainly the breasts and the lower left arm and hand forming a monstrous claw similar to Derieri. The demon mark was on the right upper shoulder and it was a black crescent moon with three stars surrounding the moon.

"I took a few liberties based on descriptions from the accounts from the Elements, books, Luna, and Celestia," Gar said, speaking directly to Nightmare as he'd been aware of her from the beginning. "Once shapeshifting is refined you'll be able to look however you like but this will be your true form and what you will revert to when tire and can hold you shifting."

“And as a demon, you can feed on souls to replenish your energy.” Zeldris cut in. “Oh, and Gar have you eaten a soul yet?” He asked curiously as he faced the smiling monster.

“King Gar may be part demon but he would never stoop so low as to eat another creature's soul,” Gloxinia stated in anger.

“Quiet,” Gar commanded before returning his attention to Zeldris. “No,” Gar said flatly. “I do not see the point in this act. Then again I haven’t fought anyone deserving of having their soul eaten. Personally, it conflicts with my humanity. It would seem my moral compass is not as surpassed as I’d originally thought.”

“A shame. Souls are quite tasty, the stronger they are the more flavor and energy you get out of it.” Zeldris said in a somewhat disappointed tone. “Now back to the matter at hand; are the preparations complete for me to transfer Nightmare’s soul?”

“All factors are set and the body is but an empty shell with no mind or even instincts to move,” Gar confirmed. “Everything is ready for you to work the transference at your leisure.”

“Nightmare Moon is also prepared for the transfer,” Black interjected.

“Well then, let’s get started.” Zeldris walked up to black and put his and on his chest. Black then began to look off into space with a blank expression as Zeldris pulled out Nightmare’s soul. Before making sure it was the right one, he double-checked to make sure. When he did he was surprised that there were two souls left. The demon pulled out the soul that was emitting pure hatred and realized that this was Goku Black’s soul. With a smirk, he consumed the soul confusing Gar. A strange burning sensation could be felt in his chest, but he ignored it for now. “Don’t worry I didn’t eat Black’s soul if that’s what you were thinking. I was just getting rid of a pest.” Zeldris then made his way over to the husk Gar made and infused the soul within it.

“That was his soul, wasn’t it,” Black said as Zeldris nodded. “Good, I want you to make him suffer, the most brutal way possible,” Black said, his voice filled with venom.

“That’s not how it works, but he will be serving as energy for a while considering his power level,” Zeldris stated. All of a sudden Nightmare’s body began to convulse.

“The hell is happening to her?” Black asked Zeldris in confusion.

Zeldris hummed in thought. “It appears her soul is rejecting her new body. My best guess is that because it was not made with her DNA it will be harder to bond with.”

“Mmm…” Gar looked on as he then activated Basquias Moon Rose. “Super Droplet of Life.” An overly bright drop of super highly concentrated mana fell on Nightmare and she immediately started to calm down. “That should help.”

Nightmare’s body began to calm down until you could hear her steady breathing. Zeldris looked at Gar, “Super Droplet of Life, that must have taken a while to store up.”

“Very much so,” Gar crossed his arms. “It takes a week to distill a third of one it took me a whole month to make one. I only have one left.”

After saying that both Gar and Zeldris heads sipped around to the front of the tree. Black confused at first felt what they were feeling too. A huge amount of magic was being used to get into The Fairy King's Forest. The clearing was then lit up in a flash of light and when it died down three figures were standing there shocked at what they were seeing. Twilight, Luna, and Celestia arrived in Gar’s domain.
