Awakening
1,700 years ago.
I sat there in the back seat with the Thanos costume on, I was stacked and armed to the teeth, with the stones, the gauntlet, and the infinity blade (It was fake obviously) the year was 2022, a few months ago Coronavirus ended and we all partied, not together but- you know what I'm saying. My friends were there, Zachary, Nora, Thompson, Jessica, Chief, and Petra. We stopped in the parking lot and got out.
"Are. You. Ready?!" Zachary always brought the hype, he was Entity 303.
"Born ready." Thompson is like the guy who would literally do stupid things for fun, you know, normal white-boy stuff. He was dressed up as General Grievous from the 2D Clone Wars because we all know canon Grievous pails in comparison to 2D Grievous.
"Good, because we need to get inside before another crowd of people swarms in." Petra, always the smart and reasonable one, was dressed up as Sally.
"Let us go now." I did my best Thanos impression, it wasn't bad but it wasn't good either.
"Holy crap is that you Thanos?" Jessica joked and did a playful shove. Jessica is blonde, but not your normal dumb blond, she is actually adept when it comes to anything book related. She was dressed up as Supergirl, which fits her because she is always helping someone out when they need help. We walked forth and got in a line, got through the door, and ran wild.
"We should look at some things that look really nice for our characters," Chief said looking at me, I was the only one that wasn't complete, aside from Thompson that is. Chief is like the big black dude that will break you like a twig, if anything he should have been Thanos for the MCU.
"You two aren't fully complete so let's check out some weapons." Nora was dressed up as Rapunzel, and boy, does she look gorgeous. I nod and try to spot the weapon area. It wasn't hard because I almost couldn't fit through the door because I was 8'2, yeah I went all out to be Thanos. And I saw someone dressed up as Kilton in an open tent, I saw the infinity blade and four swords.
"I guess those four swords will have to do." Thompson chuckled and shook his head, we walked up to the Kilton cosplayer.
"How much for the infinity blade and those swords?" I asked with my best Thanos impression, I love it, I'm sorry but I can't stop it.
"For you, free. You know what kid? I know your type, seeking out for adventure eh?" The Kilton cosplayer chuckled, I was in shock as I just grabbed the infinity blade and Thompson grabbed his swords.
"Yeah, I like going on adventures with my friends," I said liking where this conversation is heading.
"Imagine... Going to a world where it has too much harmony and way less chaos." I thought about that, too much harmony and things would be... awkward. Nothing exciting.
"That sounds like torture." I smiled beneath my mask.
"What if... I sent you to that world to bring balance. It would be a win-win, saving that world for complete boredom and saving you from complete boredom. Know this, when I sent you there you will be your character, and everyone but You, Grievous, Supergirl, and Entity 303 will have powers because you already have powers. Entity 303 I see you have your scythe." The KIlton cosplayer smirked, and Zachary held up his bloodred scythe.
"Okay, how are you going to do it?" I ask smiling, he smiled mischievously.
"Oh, you'll see..." He snapped his fingers and in a flash of light, we were gone.
Present time.
I stood there idle in the Castle of Two Sisters, in stone and in a vault deep underground, it was dark, the torches have been put out. It was darker than any night I've seen. I was there for centuries. I was the most dangerous villain known to Pony-kind, Celestia often visits me to see if I got out, but after a few years she suddenly stopped it was like she... forgot about me. I was alone, all alone, I was perfectly sane but I was lonely. I wanted to get out, I needed to get out, to get my revenge, I grunted trying to break free, grunt, grunt, grunt! There was a crack I tried a few more times and my hand was free, I let out a furious bellow and boom! I was free, I immediately fell to my knees, it has been too long. I was hungry, very hungry. I got up and the only thing that I was thinking about was food and water. I walked up the spiral steps, it was covered in moss and the walls were cracked, I was trying to not hit the ceiling, I was tall, after punching down the exit door I made. (I punched my way out) I found myself in the throne room. I looked around, it was... ruined, what happened here? I looked around, my stomach growled. It was sunny outside, I saw light for the first time in years! Not going to lie I shed a little tear.
"Right, right, right, food." I put a hand over my stomach as I walked out of the castle. There was an old bridge, judging by my height and size I would fall under it. This means I have to run, after prepping myself I went into a sprint position and was ready to book it. I took a deep breath and ran. The wooden planks I stepped on collapsed beneath me, I ran as fast as my legs could carry them and leaped and fell on the grass, my stomach growled yet again, I need to eat something or I will eat my arm! A manticore looked at me curious as to what I was, I looked at it and licked my lips.
"Here kitty, kitty, kitty..." I walked close to the manticore.
I lit up a fire as I ate my cooked manticore, it was delicious, could use some seasoning but hey, got to work with what you have eh? I sat on a log and thought.
"My blade is gone, gauntlet gone, infinity stones gone, friends gone, where are they? Celestia must've really thought this out. My guess is that my infinity blade is in the Canterlot vault as well as my gauntlet, the stones must have a keeper, so I think I'm going to have to find the keepers of the stones. My friends are probably held in Tartarus so I'll have to go there, but that begs the question, what should I go after? Well, if I go after my blade and gauntlet they will be on high alert and most likely tighten the defenses on the stones and Tartarus. I should go after my friends, more allies means more people to fight under me. Tartarus it is I guess." After eating the last bit of the cooked manticore, I jumped to my feet and marched on. Tartarus here I come.

Thomas POV
I ran as fast as I could, there were 1000 men behind me, magic bolts shot across the sky and crashed into a tree. I fled to the Everfree Forest dodging magic like a dodge the haters. I look behind me, they were closer! I ran into a clearing full of grass where trees had not yet grown. I prepared my elemental swords, they ran at me and shot their magic and threw their spears. I prepared my Fire Swords as I slash, a huge horizontal fiery flash came at the ponies, the slash dispersed the magic bolts and turned the spears to ash, the impact on the ponies was something else. The ponies roared in pain, I raised my Earth sword high and slammed it on the ground making the earth burst from beneath them. They hit the ground, I turned around and ran for it, a magic bolt hit my ankle and I fell down. I got up and the troops surrounded me.
"Give up General, you are completely surrounded, lay your weapons down and stop this." Captain Black Shield said he was the Captain of the Royal Guard back then. I laughed, preparing my swords.
"Never, for I have yet begun to fight." They rained fire on me, I deflect the magic bolts. As they rapidly shot their magic at me, I held up for a while but after I started to get hit, first they got my right leg I fell on my knee but I continue to deflect the oncoming attacks. My extra arms came out and grabbed the water and air swords, but they were shot out of my hands by magic, I snarled in pain. I held my hand and that was all they needed to dominate me. I was on the ground, smoking and burnt, I couldn't move, two guards held me up and turned me to Black Shield.
"I didn't want it to end this way, trust me I didn't but you left me with no other option. Take him to Tartarus." He turned around and collected my swords. I said nothing as I was dragged away.
Present Time
I sat in the darkest corner of my cage. The cage was hanging from the ceiling and close to the ground, my cape was ripped and I was covered in battle scars. I heard a dog yelp and I snapped my head to the entrance, Thanos was riding Cerberus like a bull.
"Let's go free some villains!" Thanos laughed as he rode Cerberus towards the cages. Guards ran at them, he made Cerberus stomp on those fools.
"Hey, Thanos! Over here!" He turned his head to me and I waved. He smiled.
"There you are, how about I do this?" Thanos grabbed a sword from a guard who was now dead on the ground from being stomped on by Cerberus. He threw the sword at the cage chain and the cage fell from the ceiling and hit the floor. The bars were now far enough I can slip out of it. I leaped and landed on Cerberus.
"What took you so long?" I asked jokingly, he smirked.
"I had to tend to my farm, anyways where are the others?" Thanos asked as he made Cerberus stomp on oncoming guards.
"They're in different prisons, Sally is in an Abyssinia prison," I said as he pulled Cerberus around and headed towards the door.
"Grievous I have a favor to ask you, can you get my gauntlet and infinity blade for me? I promise I will repay the favor." Thanos said as he knocks out the heads of Cerberus. We jump off of him and run, I thought about it for a second.
"Okay, I will, but we need to do this before news reaches out to Canterlot we broke out." I tore the last of the cape off of me.
"I will meet you in the Mirror Pool." Thanos headed off, I saw Canterlot and ran towards it, we part ways. Getting the items back is going to suck.
I climbed up Mt. Canter, the stars lit up the night sky. I was a few meters below the Canterlot Palace. My claws dug into the mountain, I was almost up so I start to kick into maximum overdrive and I shot up, I saw a guard who was patrolling the area. I landed in a bush and hid in it.
"That was close..." I said aloud, I quickly covered my mouth.
"Who said that? Reveal yourself." He turned around, he looked to his left, to his right, no one was there. I sneaked up behind him and grinned, I took him out Batman: Arkham Knight style and bashed his head in. I scaled the Palace and with the power of sneakiness, I put out one metal finger, made a perfect circle, kicked it down without the glass breaking, and went inside. I was a thief way back when so I knew how to do this. I looked to my left, then my right, nopony was there.

I snuck past the guards as fast as possible, I started to look for the archives. I crawled on the ceiling looking for the archives, I then saw Celestia's room which gave me an idea, I let out a little evil laugh.
"What was that?" A guard guarding Princess Celestia's door searched for the laugh, the guards next to him turned towards him.
"Probably you going insane." He joked, the other guard deadpanned and turned towards him.
"Ha, ha, real funny, now let's stop talking before we wake her up. A princess does need her beauty sleep." The guards stood silent, while they were facing each other with Ultra Instinct super mega neo awesome moves I managed to slip past them. I was in her room, she was on her bed sound asleep, I got some ink and poured it on her subtly and got the heck out of there. If you want to know I poured it on her boobs, anywho I snuck past the guards again by throwing a piece of jewelry in another room by opening a little crack between the door. To my surprise, they both decided to check it out and I managed to sneak past them. Back on the ceiling, I searched for the archives and found it, it was far down a hallway with four guards guarding it. I mentally sighed in frustration, I dropped in front of them, and before they could even make a peep I easily dispatched them, snapping their necks and stabbing them with their own spears. I opened the door, blood on my cybernetic body, I looked at the water sword, gauntlet, and infinity blade all in one area.
"This is really easy, now I just gotta take these and-" As I took them an alarm went off or whatever of the sort, there was a loud noise, every single guard went into the archives, I put the water sword in the gauntlet, using my extra arms to carry the gauntlet I held the infinity blade and burst through the ceiling like a volcano. I ran as fast as my robotic leg could carry them and before I knew it they were raining fire on me like all those years ago. Zig-zagging is a good way to avoid things because it sure as heck worked for the guards who weren't even landing a hit. I then saw a white Alicorn and a dark Alicorn after me.
"Grievous! Get back here you fiend!" Celestia prepared her sword as Luna prepares her scythe that looked like the crescent moon. I did not want to fight Celestia AND Luna at the same time, not yet at least. I saw the train going to take off, I was running at full speed trying to hitch a ride. But the train moved on, I cursed mentally at myself I was too slow. We were now at the edge of Canterlot I was backed against the edge, I spun the infinity blade as fast as I could. I took one step back and a rock fell off the side, it was a long drop, I could survive it but I don't want to lose the things that I stole.
"Give up, tell us where Thanos is and we'll reform you." Celestia stepped forward, reform? Hah! Don't make me laugh, it's too late for me.
"It's too late for me sunbutt, I am too... How do you say it nowadays? Bloodthirsty. We call it bloodhungry but welp, things change." I said turning the infinity blade faster and faster.
"Things do indeed change, we changed our ways, I know it was Thanos' idea to bring the almost complete genocide of the beings of Equis. So please, work with us and we will beat Thanos." Celestia stepped forth yet again, the guard advanced.
"Heh, nice speech but no, yeet!" I jumped off the cliff and they gasped, they paused for a moment believing that I would choose death rather than serve them. Suddenly I came back up, spinning the infinity blade like a helicopter blade, I was a helicopter and I flew away. They were in too much shock to shoot me down. Luna turned towards Celestia.
"Is that ink?" She pointed to Celestia's breasts, Celestia blushed wildly and looked at it, you could see the anger on her face.
"GRIEVOUS!!!!!!!!!!!"
I laughed as I landed into the Everfree Forest.
I walked down the mirror pool, Thanos was sitting down waiting, he got up and smiled at me. I threw his gauntlet and his infinity blade at him, he caught his blade and his gauntlet still smiling.
"You have no idea how hard it was to get this, the whole kingdom now knows where we are," I said through my teeth though I did not have any which surprised me.
"Did you spill the ink on Celestia's boobs?" He asked with a chuckle, if I had a mouth I would've smiled.
"Heck yeah! For your information, Lucci is in the Minos, Rapunzel is underwater in the... In the uh... What do you call it? The uh... The half griffon half sea thingy kingdom! And Entity 303 is in the Griffin capital, Supergirl is in the Storm Kingdom, and you already know where Sally is, but that begs the question. Who do we go for next?"

Chief's POV
I was in my hybrid form fighting the current King of MInotaurs, Golden Horn. We've been fighting for two whole weeks, both of us were now starting to wear out.
"Shave!" I shouted appearing in front of him in a blink of an eye, I then tempest kick him a few times before using madara and pummeling him. Golden Horn blocked my punches as best he could, I laughed knowing it was over.
"I've won Golden Horn, give up!" I spin kick his face making him go into a boulder. He grabbed the boulder and threw it towards me and I use tempest kick and gut the boulder in half. When I did he leaped at me and slammed his fist into my face making me go flying and into the boulder's remains. I leaped up and shot more than fifteen tempest kicks at him, he frowned and tried to avoid all of them but he knew it was futile as I heard cries of pain coming from the dust cloud that now surrounded him due to my missed shots.
"Kamisori!" I yelled as I zigzag dashed at him preparing my fist to end him. He reeled back his fist, blood dripped from his body.
CLASH!!!
I was no longer in hybrid form, I was on the floor bruised up and... beaten.
"Ho... How...?" I asked struggling to breathe, his back was facing me, he turned towards me and looked me dead in the eye.
"Because that's my warrior way." He then carried me over his shoulder and walked me out of the destruction we caused in our battle.
Present time.
I never did get over that loss, it was my fifth one but what can a guy do? I was prepping for my Gladiator match held my King Golden Hoof a descendent of the Golden Horn family. I was stretching in my cell, ready for battle, a guard came in and unlocked the door, I knew I could break out easily but I was waiting for Thanos. I was released from my prison six months ago, there had been a Dragon ravaging the lands and no other neighboring countries could aid them so they freed me. I fought the dragon and won with no problem, after that I decided to be a gladiator, and boy was I loving it. I was a champion, the champion, I fought some loser named Iron Horn for it, he lost. I would be the world champion but I'm not allowed to participate in the worldwide tournament, because they never told Celestia or the other countries about me. Which was interesting, perhaps I can make the Minos go to war with Equestria? No, not yet, not until Thanos arrives. I walked outside into the sun, it was just like the colosseum in Greece but modernized.
"Here he is folks, the myth, the legend, the almighty Rob Lucci!" The crowd cheered wildly, I smiled, the announcer turned towards my opponent a brave little Avian who dared to fight me.
"Then we have Iron Claw of the Sky Islands!" The Avian was cocky, I could tell from that smirk of his.
"Now that we got introductions out of the way time to fight!" We ran at each other cocking our fists back, we roared and let out a punch.
Thanos' POV
Grievous and I were both in cloaks, we walked off the ship that I "borrowed" from Equestria, we walked down the city streets and were in a market place, we were searching for a lead to find Lucci, I turned towards Grievous.
"We should split up and search for clues." I can tell he deadpanned at me, I had a stupid smile on my face.
"Okay, "Fred", I'll go find my Wind Sword, because I know it's here, I can feel it." Grievous ran off to do who knows what, I walked down the streets when I heard a crowd cheering. I looked towards the colosseum, yep Lucci is probably in there. I walked towards the colosseum, there was a minotaur laughing. I walked towards him there a table in front of him with paperwork.
"Oh? You want to fight the great Lucci?" The minotaur smiled, I nodded, "Then sign here and you'll be assigned to fight him." He gave me ink and quill and I wrote my name, "Thanatos" he shook his head and said nothing. "Alright wait in one of the cells." And I went off.
I stood there silently waiting for combat, it was a hand to hand fight so my weapons and gauntlet were not with me. The gates open and the announcer spoke.
"Today we have yet again a new challenger, he hails from parts unknown, his name is Thanatos!" There was some cheering for me, "And do we even need to introduce Lucci? This fight will be over in seconds! Anyways let the fight begin!" Lucci used his shave technique and was on me in an instant he tried to punch me but I caught his fist, shocking everyone in the crowd even him!
"W-what?" Lucci was gut-punched by my giant fist which launched him into the dirt, he rolled up and I elbowed his face in. He stumbled back and touched his nose, it was bleeding, he growled and used a multitude of tempest kicks, I evaded the attacks quite easily. I walked towards him and he busts out his hybrid form and he punched me in the jaw, I recovered from it quickly and grabbed his head and brought his head down to my knee to which I knee his face. He stumbles back and I grab his face and slam him. I proceed to punch his face over and over and over again, he used his geppo to slip out of my attacks, I kept going and punched the ground. There was a giant fist printed on the earth, I looked up at him. We locked eyes on each other he ran at me and tried to kick me with both of his legs, I grabbed his feet in midair and spun him around threw him into the colosseum walls.
"You... You're not half bad." He said as blood dripped from his head, the crowd was in too much awe to say anything. I said nothing and crossed my arms, he growled and used his kamisori technique. He prepared a Rokuogan but I punched his face before he could use it, I punched him in the ribs making him wince in pain but I didn't stop there, I punched his chest making the wind get knocked out of him. He fell on all fours, I put my foot on his back and stomped on him. I walked back two steps, I kept my eyes on him.
"I-is our champion beat?" The announcer asked, Lucci, got up he glared at me he cocked back his fist and ran at me, I side-stepped him, grabbed his arm, and broke it by punching him right in the elbow, I broke him like a plank board. Needless to say, he let out a yell in pain, he grabbed his arm. I went behind and guess what? German Suplex. He was successfully knocked out, he reverted back to his normal form.
"I win."
Grievous' POV
I crawled verily as I reached the zenith of the mountain, yeah, I had to climb another mountain, might as well call me "Mountain Climber Grievous" I saw multiple armed Minotaurs circling a shrine that had the Wind Sword. I pulled out my water sword, jumped up, and made a water slash at them. There were fifteen in total, two hit the wall and dropped their swords I grabbed the swords and started to do this three sword style, my one foot/claw held one. They ran at me and I water slashed them, one was skilled enough to jump over it. I jumped and it and diagonally slashed them with one water sword and one random sword, blood sprayed on my cybernetic body. I threw the random sword in my right hand and the sword decapitates one of the minotaurs. I let out a laugh as I start mercilessly killing them, another one bit the dust. One actually tried to headbutt me on my forehead, so guess when someone's head hits armor as hard as mine? Killed instantaneously. I jumped through the shrine grabbed the Wind Blade and slashed both of them at the same time at the remaining minotaurs which killed them.
"Whew... That wasn't difficult." I laughed when I heard someone clear their throat, I looked behind me and there was the King, standing tall over me.
"Why do these things happen to me?"
Lucci's POV
I opened my eyes, I was on a ship, I looked around.
"Where am I?" I asked, soon I got my answer as I spot Thanos cleaning his infinity blade which was soaking in blood.
"So you're finally awake..." He chuckled, I held my head, there was a bandage. I shook my head it really was Thanos!
"Thanos?! You- you're..." He looked at me, I immediately stopped talking.
"How long have you been released from your prison?" He asked finally finishing cleaning the blood from his blade.
"Six months." He laughed and stood up, I did as well. "My man, what took you so long? I was waiting for you"
"I had to tend to my farm." We both laughed and slapped our hands together like this.
"START THE BOAT!!!! START IT NOW!!!!!!" I looked outside and saw Grievous being chased by five hundred armed minotaurs, needless to say, we started to boat. He leaped on it and I went to the back of the boat and used geppo to push it far and fast. Grievous walked outside.
"Goodbye suckers! Hahahahahahaha!" He slapped his knee but quickly held his knee in pain. "Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!" He fell on his rear me and Thanos laughed, now... Who do we go after next?
Rescue 2 - Aftermath
Celestia POV
We had arrived at the port of the Capital of Minos, Minocow. After ridding myself of the ink, I had gathered my little ponies. Our ship was joined by Captain Shining Armor, he and his men were here, not for war but for intimidation. Twilight looked at me with concern.
"Princess Celestia?" Twilight asked, I sighed and turned towards her.
"Yes my faithful student?" I asked with a smile, Twilight cleared her throat.
"Who is Thanos?" Twilight inquired, Starlight and company turned their heads to me.
"Yeah who is Thanos? He sounds like a total pushover." Rainbow Dash crossed her arms, I shook my head.
"He is no pushover, in fact, it took all we had just to bring him down on his knee." They were in shock, Starlight tilted her head.
"We?" I smiled, always the more curious each generation gets.
"We had a team back then, Me, Luna, Golden Horn, Khrusalis, and the guardian of Tartarus, Cerberus. We fought his team, The Entity 303, Rapunzel, Sally, Supergirl, Grievous, Rob Lucci, and he, we've fought on numerous occasions, each battle getting bloodier." I said walking off the ship, my little ponies followed me.
"Their names don't sound intimidating." Applejack scoffed, I turned towards her.
"Indeed they don't but trust me, they're dangerous, Entity 303 carries a bloodred scythe he has the ability to shoot fire and red beams, Rapunzel has control over her long hair which she could attack and defend with every battle she comes back more fashionable, Sally is a being who looks like Frankenpony if he was female and had red hair she has the ability to decimate objects and skin just by touching them, she is very dangerous, Supergirl is perhaps stronger than Thanos, she can shoot beams out of her eyes, fly at speeds that may be faster than you Rainbow Dash,"
Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes
"And has the ability to cool objects with just her breath, Grievous is a merciless being who collects his enemies swords and puts them on his platter, he carries four swords to which he carries the other two with his extra arms, he carries the Earth Sword, he can control the earth itself making pillars shoot up from the ground, with his Water Sword he can swim ten times faster than a seapony, he can also control the water making it bend to his will, with his Fire Sword he is able to burn everything with this, even solid steel, he also bears the Air Sword he can walk on clouds, suck the air out of his opponents, and... well let's not get into detail about his ways,"
The ponies shivered in the thought of his horrors that he would bestow.
"Rob Lucci an assassin who kills for Thanos can turn into a hybrid of a leopard in an instant, he has various abilities that aides him in slaying his enemies and Thanos... He carries the Power Stone which gains him so much power that it could destroy Mt. Everhoof it one blast, the Reality Stone which turns anything he wants into a reality, the Time Stone with it he can turn back time, stop time, continue time, and so on and so forth, with the Space Stone he can travel through countries with a portal, one second he's us fighting us than the other he is nowhere to be found, the Mind Stone it grants to the user powerful mental abilities, like the power to subjugate the minds of others, bending them to the will of the user and more, the Soul Stone can manipulate the spiritual essence of living or deceased beings, making it one of the most dangerous Stone." Celestia finished her lecture Twilight took down notes.
They walked on the ground of Minos, there were body bags and wounded minotaurs who had a look of horror on their faces, as a medic carried one wounded minotaur away to the hospital the wounded minotaurs one spoke about Thanos.
"He... He had this giant sword he... he killed them all! He... he killed..." We thankfully couldn't hear that last part as the medic carried him away, Fluttershy shivered at all of the bodies and wounded minotaurs, I saw Golden Hoof command one of his men to tell a family about their child's death. Golden Hoof turned and saw me.
"Thank Storm Fist you're here, I tried to stop Grievous but..." He showed his wound on his chest, it was a large diagonal slash, Captain Armor winced almost feeling his pain.
"Do not fret Golden Hoof, you've done the best you could, they didn't get Lucci... Right?" I asked him, he breathed through his teeth and I groaned and rubbed my forehead, "Oh my Faust..."
"I need to tell you something, we let Lucci go six months ago to fight a dragon who plagued our lands." Golden Hoof said timidly almost knowing I would be enraged.
"WHAT!??!?!"
I cleared my throat.
"What?" I asked in a calm rage, I was smiling, he was sweating.
"Well, it is your fault for not sending any help." Golden Hoof said crossing his arms, I opened my eyes wider than a star.
"Excuse me? We were busy at the time, you're strong, surely you could-" He cut me off.
"The dragon broke every single bucking bone in my body!" Golden Hoof snapped.
"Sucks to be you." Rainbow Dash crossed her arms, Golden Hoof turned his body to her.
"Do you wanna bucking go? Because I'll lay your flank flat, you're not in your "wonderful world of friendship and magic" no, this is the real world, my men tried their hardest out on the battlefield. Tch, I doubt you would even make him bleed." Golden Hoof crossed his arms, Rainbow Dash frowned and walked up to Golden Hoof.
"Why I oughta-" Starlight teleported between the two.
"Both of you calm down, Rainbow Dash you're in the presence of a foreign King, and the ruler of one of the most powerful countries in Equis show some respect, King Golden Hoof you should be acting better than this, you're a King for Celestia's sake!" Starlight snapped, both of them backed away, Rainbow Dash stuck her tongue out at Golden Hoof, he grabbed his sword, it was still in its sheath but it shut Rainbow Dash really good.
"Let us get on track, they will likely go after Entity 303. Captain Shining Armor, get one of your men to bring my little ponies back to Equestria, it's too dangerous here." Captain Shining Armor saluted and went off, "King Golden Hoof do you plan on meeting them at the Griffin Prison?" Celestia raised an eyebrow, King Golden Hoof smirked.
"Buck yeah." He crossed his arms.
"Princess why?" Twilight asked, I turned towards her and shook my head.
"I do not want Thanos or his companions to harm you, I'm sorry my little ponies but you must leave. That is an order." Celestia put her hoof down, basically sealing it in stone, they walked away with their heads down.
"Thanos, here I come."

Zachary POV
We were in the woods, the White Tail Woods to be exact, Celestia was right in front of me, Thanos and the gang were here.
"Give up Celestia, we outnumber and outmatch you." Thanos moved forward Celestia stood there in all her regal glory.
"Really? What if I separate you." Celestia was on us in an instant, she lit up her horn and shot something at Thanos it connected and he vanished from clear sight.
Pop!
"THANOS!!!! You wench!" Grievous ran at Celestia and jumped at her raising his elemental swords high, she shot the same magic at Grievous and he also vanished from sight.
Pop!
"Grievous!" I shouted reaching my blocky arm out, Rapunzel and Sally leaped up and lunged at Celestia, Sally trying to get her hands on Celestia, literally, and Rapunzel trying to wrap her up with her hair. She shot the vanishing magic at Sally.
Pop!
"SALLY!!!!" I turned towards where she disappeared
Rapunzel was next to go, I turned towards her but it was too late.
Pop!
"Kamisori!" Lucci dashed at Celestia and almost punched her but he then vanished in a flash of light.
Pop!
Supergirl froze, she was scared, I ran towards her almost reaching her.
"JESSICA!!!!!!!" I shouted her real name as she suddenly disappeared, I was alone, I turned towards Celestia my bloodred eyes glowing. I summoned my scythe. "You bucked up."
"I have not." She summoned her gold and steel sword. It was made out of some weird metal that channels magic, whatever I don't give a crap, she is dead!
"DIE!!!!" I shouted as I appeared above her in an instant and swung my scythe down upon her, she jumped back avoiding my attack, my scythe hit the ground making the area around us shake. I looked up at her and snarled, I flew at her and swung my scythe unceasingly, she either blocked or eluded my attacks. I shot a red beam at her which made her eyes widen in shock. I shot the bloodred beam at her which made her form a golden protective sphere, the beam pushed her back. I sprinted at the sphere and started hammering my scythe down on her, the sphere crack with every strike. With one final roar, I slammed the scythe down on the sphere finally shattering it like she had shattered my smile. I shot a fireball at her stomach and she was sent hurling into a tree making it catch on fire. She ran at me with her sword and I ran at her with my scythe, we clashed making sparks fly into the air. As we clashed we were unaware of the fire growing around us, by now branches were falling and trees were as well. Celestia took one good look around, she gasped at the destruction that was my opening as I slashed her chest blood sprayed on the ground and she hissed in pain as she nursed her wound. I shot multiple fireballs at Celestia and every single one of them was a direct hit.
"What's wrong Celestia? Can't take the heat?" I look behind me and there was a giant tree about to collapse onto me, I rolled out of the way and was hit by a magic blast by Celestia I was thrown into several burning trees. I got up and was sent hurling into more with a buck to the gut. I was on my back and I got up quickly and summoned my scythe, a falling tree was about to crash in my way, I ran towards it, cut it to pieces with my scythe and kicked every flaming piece at Celestia. Celestia flared her wings and shot to the sky smoke filled the air so she went higher, she saw all the destruction the battle had caused. Her wing was suddenly pierced by my red beam she roared in pain as she hit the ground, I ran towards the impact zone and she wasn't there. I looked to my left, then my right, nowhere.
"Come on out you coward!" I roared searching the forest as fast as possible, meanwhile, behind some rocks, Celestia was nursing her wound. It was pretty bad, it would take at least three months to get it back to full health. She sighed and laid her head on the rock, she begged, no, she pleaded for me not to find her, but all that begging and praying was for naught as I appeared beside her.
"Peek-a-boo!" I tried to slam my scythe into her but she jumped out of the way and my scythe was stuck in the rock. I tried to pull it out and when I did was shot by a fully charged alicorn blast, I was thrown yet again into a burning tree, I caught on fire. As I try to put it out I was bucked in the face multiply by her fierce hooves, she kneed my face and I was thrown into the air, she then shot me out of the sky and I hit the ground a mile away. She ran at me at full speeds dodging burning branches and trees, I got up my vision blurred my ears were ringing I saw something white in the fire, I shook my head and it was Celestia. I yelped as she tried to cut me down with her sword she summoned, so I summoned my scythe yet again and sparks flew into the air. The smoke was getting to us as we were coughing, but I wasn't fazed as I swung my scythe relentlessly. Her attacks began to falter as she blocked my attacks more slowly each block getting closer to striking her. I swept her leg and shot a red beam as her chest and shot her far, far, far away. I charged up a fireball, one on my left, the other on my right, I combined them and it grew I spread my hands far from each other and the fireball grew.
"Bigger." I demanded.
It enlarged.
"Bigger! I demanded yet again
It grew in size once more.
"BIGGER!!!"
It grew to the size of a three-story house.
"Perfect." I threw the massive fireball towards Celestia, Celestia, however, had my same idea and shot a full-powered alicorn blast at my fireball. There was a beam struggle and I shot more fireballs at my giant fireball making the fireball grow in size. Celestia grunted as she poured every drop of power into her attack, her alicorn blast was getting pushed back. I laughed knowing it was over, but then her eyes turned glowing white as she let out a primal scream and with some unknown power pushed my fireball back and right into me.
"No... NO! AAURRGHH!!!!" I was hit by the blast sending me through the woods and out of it. There was a large explosion afterward that could be seen from miles around.
Present Time
I was locked in my cage, all alone with no one to keep me sane but my own singing.
"Ponies all around singing and happy
(Hurray!)
No one to keep me happy
(So sad!)
I'm so alone, so unbearably lonely
No one to keep me company
No one to make me happy
I'm just alone...
Celestia gaining weight
Luna making sure ponies don't wake
Cadence making sure ponies find love
I am lonely, lonelier than a single dove
I am so lonely
No one to keep me happy
I'm so alone, so unbearably lonely
No one to keep me company
No one to make me happy
I'm just alone...
A lonely entity out on the sea
No one here to keep me company
No one to make me laugh or cry
Some times I wish to die
Oh it would be great to break out of my cage
But the rage won't let me
I want to see my family
Oh wait I can't because of those ponies
My friends separated like me
With no one to keep them company
I'm just so lonely, as lonely as can be
No one to keep me happy
I'm so alone, so unbearably lonely
No one to keep me company
No one to make me happy
I'm just alone...
I'm so alone...
So alone...
So... Alone..."
I break out in tears and full-on wail, I hug my knees and fall on my side. So lonely...
Thanos POV
I was back in my disguise, Lucci, and Grievous had their disguise as well. Cloaks really do work in My Little Pony, I walked down the capital of the Griffin Kingdom, Grifton. I stopped and looked back at them, they stopped in their tracks.
"Lucci you go after Entity 303, Grievous go after your sword, I have to deal with something or rather someone, er... Griffin." I ordered them. They all nod and run off to their respective tasks.
Meanwhile...
Twilight and company were on a ship back to Equestria they were between the Griffon Kingdom and Equestria. Each of them was silent, all but Rainbow Dash.
"Hey, can you send us back? I mean, we're the Element holders we should be able to fight!" Rainbow Dash protested the guard looked back at Rainbow Dash.
"I'm sorry it was Captain's orders, I can't-"
WHACK!!!
The guard was hit in the head by Rarity who held a plank, the look on the ponies' faces was priceless.
"I'm not usually the one to agree with Rainbow Dash but she is right, we should be able to fight. We beat Nightmare Moon, Discord, Chrysalis, and Tirek, we should be able to fight these ruffians, like the guards. We're the protectors of Equestria, if somepony is threatening the whole world, we should be able to fight the threat. Who's with me?" Rarity asked, they all pumped up their fists and cheered. "Then let's go."
Back to Thanos.
I walked towards the Grifton Palace. Guards turned towards my massive figure, their beaks dropped to the ground but quickly readied their spears.
"Halt! State your name and purpose!" They demanded, I stood there unbothered by their actions. I looked down on them.
"My purpose is to chew gum and kick flank, and I'm all out of gum," I said grabbing their spears and stabbing them with it. I wasn't bothered to use my infinity blade, it wasn't worth the effort. I walked up the stairs to the palace cutting down every single Griffin who dared to stop me. I reached the top of the stairs and walked on inside cutting down the guards who were at the entrance. I stepped in the blood pools making my footsteps crimson. I arrived at the throne room after killing the guards, I looked up at the Griffin King, Steel Wing.
"Thanos, am I correct?" I flipped my hood and my helmet shined in the sunlight. I smiled, as I prepare my blade. "So the legends are true..." Steel Wing sat from his throne and picked up his Warhammer.
"Yes the rumors were true, yeah I need that stone." He pointed to Steel Wing's Warhammer that had the Power Stone, Steel Wing chuckled, and got into a Warhammer position.
"Then take it off my hammer." We ran to each other, he raised his Warhammer high and tried to slam in on me, I may not know all the six powers but I know how to use them as I geppo my way up and out of his way. The Warhammer hit the ground and with the boosted power of the Power Stone shook the palace. I was on him like a bee to honey as I hit him with my Infinity Blade, he blocked my attack with his Warhammer the clash sent shockwaves throughout the kingdom, no seriously it did. I was sent hurling to the entrance but with the help of the infinity blade digging trenches into the marble I came to a stop. However Steel Wing wasn't so lucky as he was sent through the walls and into another room, I ran and followed him. I chucked my infinity blade at him which was so fast that he wouldn't be able to register it with his eyes, but his ear certainly did as he was able to dodge it just in the nick of time. He glared at me, he lifted up his hammer and ran at me, he jumped and tried to do a ground pound. I moved out of the way and punched him in the face with my gauntlet, Thanos is strong with his fists but with a gauntlet attached to his fist? Yeah, you're going to feel that in the morning. He hit the ground and I took the Warhammer, I raised it high and tried to slam it on him, he flew out of the way and dove down and kicked me. I stumbled back and dropped the Warhammer, he picked it up and hit me with it so hard I flew out of the palace. I fell down the stairs, it hurt, like a lot. I got up and saw that Steel Wing was charging me with his hammer, about to bash me with it.
"Come on!" I taunted as I ran towards him and we clashed yet again sending shockwaves throughout the country. This time I fell back and was on my stomach as I got up I saw the Power Stone taking a toll on him, he must've never used the Power Stone this long as he was probably used to one-shotting his enemies with that thing. But he still fought though out of breath, he swung at me, his attacks were sloppy.
"Surrender, I do not wish to kill you." He swung yet again and missed. For once I did not want to kill someone er... Some griffin.
"I just... started to... Fight..." He slurred, I punched his face with my gauntlet and knocked him the buck out. I grabbed the infinity stone and smiled.
"At long last... The power stone, it's mi-"
Pop!
It was no longer in my hand I looked to my left and saw Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer.
"Twilight Sparkle..." I said clenching my fist, she glared at me.
"You know me?" She asked ready to go at me.
"You're not the only one cursed with knowledge," I said with a mental smile on my face.
"My only curse is you, give up Thanos and maybe we won't send you back in stone." I stepped forward and she stepped backward, I smiled, she feared me.
"Starlight, take the stone and give it to Celestia." Starlight tried to rebel but Twilight's face said it all and nodded and left.
"Well, well, it's just you and me. No one to get in my way, I should show you why they call me "The Mad Titan" because actions, in this case, will speak louder than words." I ran at Twilight Sparkle who tried to shoot a magic bolt at me, I sidestepped it and closed in on her, she formed a shield and after continuously bashing it I shattered it. She stumbled back a bit and I gut-punched her, the wind was knocked out of her body she was thrown to the ground. I was ready to finish her off, she was by far the biggest threat to my plans, Celestia? No problem, her? Problem. So I threw my infinity blade at her her eyes opened wide with horror.
"Help!" She cried putting her arms in front of her face, purple light flashed and help came in the form of Shining Armor. His sword blocked the attack of my sword, the blade went back to me.
"Shiny, you saved me! Why are you here? You're supposed to deal with-" Shining Armor looked back at Twilight with a serious look on his face.
"You shouldn't have come back!" I ran at Shining Armor and jumped trying to strike him down with my blade, he blocked my fearsome attack with his sword.
"Go!" Shining Armor ordered, Twilight did as she was told and fled the scene.
"How cute, a brother looking out for a sister, don't worry you will be together when I kill her too." I smiled as I pushed, Shining Armor went on his knee not able to combat my legendary strength. His eyes widened in shock.
"No..." He was shaking like a leaf, he cared too much about his sister.
"Yes! And when I get all of the stones, half of the universe will be gone!" I roared and pushed Shining Armor back he fell on his back and rolled up to try and combat me. Our swords collided each hit coming from us sent sparks in the air, I did a 360 and hit him with my gauntlet. He fell yet again but got right back up, I growled and ran at him swinging my infinity blade with ten times the speed and ten times the force, his sword was showing cracks as I hit harder and faster than before. And with one final slash, his sword gave out and it was reduced to smithereens, his eyes opened wide as pieces of his sword fell and hit the ground. I laughed and he fell on his knees he looked like he lost all hope, he was no match for me in the first place, trying to best me in combat, hah! What a joke. I raised my sword high ready to finish him off.
"Goodnight sweet prince." I slammed my sword down and he braced himself and hoped for the best but he was swooped out of the way by a bruised up Rainbow Dash.
"Okay, this is getting annoying, when can one of you just die already?" I complained, throwing my head back.
"Never!" She stuck her tongue out.
"You're only delaying the inevitable, and I am inevitable!" She flew away with Shining Armor in her arms, "You can run but you can't hide!" She was now out of sight.
"Bucking ponies man..."
Several minutes earlier
Thomas POV
I spun my two swords on my extra arms like a helicopter I crossed my arms as I was closing in on the cloud base that held my earth sword.
"Who bucking puts an earth sword in the sky?" I ask myself as I land on the cloud base, I walked around, no one was there? No griffin, no one. This has to be a trap, I walked to the upper levels and saw my sword, just sitting there yeah just chilling.
"Really? Nothing? Seriously nothing? Okay, don't mind if I do." I reached out to grab it but a rainbow trail swooped and took it from me. "Motherbucker."
"Are you Thanos?" Rainbow Dash asked, I rolled my eyes.
"Do I look like a Thanos? No, I'm Grievous."
"Oooohh... That makes sense." Rainbow Dash realized, I shook my head.
"I know you, very well too. Rainbow Dash, the bravest, the awesomest, the most legendary pony in Equestria! Fighting a dragon with your own hooves, saving Equestria on multiple occasions! To be honest I am honored to be in your presence." Rainbow Dash rubbed the back of her head with a slight blush, I was a master manipulator so... you know where this is going.
"Why thank you Grievous." She said with a bow.
"I know you would beat my flank in one kick, so can you make this a fair fight and give me my Earth Sword then and only then we would have the most legendary battle that will be remembered throughout history and you would be remembered as the pony who beat the fearless Grievous in combat." Rainbow Dash fantasized about the cheering that went on inside her head.
"Okay, here!" She tossed it to me I caught it.
"You do the honors, Rainbow Dash. Hit my forehead right here." I pointed to the hardest point of my head.
"On the forehead?" She raised an eyebrow.
"On the forehead," I confirmed.
"Okay, here it goes! Rainbow Dash kick!" She kicked my forehead and her hoof immediately fractured, she fell on her back and nursed the wound. "You liar!" She rolled around, I walked towards her and clenched my fist.
"Not going to lie... What I'm going to do to you is going to hurt. Bad." I cocked back my arm and threw my punch.
A few minutes earlier
Lucci POV
I dropped the bloody sword and advanced in the prison, multiple souls cried out for help but I didn't answer. I reached a room and I kicked it down, there was Entity 303 hugging his knees sobbing. My eyes shot open.
"Entity?" I couldn't believe the state he was in, oh yeah, those ponies are going to pay. I walked closer and there were cuffs onto him that most likely suppressed his magic and strength.
"L-Lucci?" He looked up at me his once red eyes now blue, I walked closer to him.
"Hey, hey, hey, yeah it's me." I said bending the bars open wide enough for him to get through he stood up and but his cuffs over my neck and "hugged" me.
"I was so lonely! I thought... I thought you were all sentenced to death and... and... and I..." He spoke through his tears and I pat his blocky arm.
"Sh... Sh... It's okay, it's okay we're here. Thanos and Grievous are alive and we're getting the rest of the gang too. After that, it's getting the stones and revenge time." I nodded and his eyes turned back to his normal red.
"I'm killing Celestia." I laughed and lifted his arms off my neck and with one well-timed chop, he was set free. He summoned his scythe and walked out the door, he rolled out of the way as a magic bolt whizzed on by.
"Celestia, I know you're there! I will beat your flank so hard that people will be calling you purple butt because I hit it so darn hard!" Entity clenched his scythe all the while I am holding my laughter.
"Come on out and we can resolve this peacefully, I do not wish to fight you," Celestia said looking at the door.
"Yeah because you're scared, scared that you'll end up like Luna when I'm done with you!" At that point, I busted out laughing on my knees and hitting the ground in laughter.
"Holy crap he has no chill!" I laughed going on my back and laughed my flank off.
"Rob Lucci?" Celestia raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah it's me, whe-when me and Entity are done with you, Celestia you'll end up looking like an eggplant!" We both laughed, Luna held her mouth and tried to conceal her laughter but was cracking up.
"Luna..." Celestia clenched her fist and looked at her sister.
"What I can't help it?" Luna shrugged, Celestia walked forward and flew into the room, Shining Armor and his guard ran into there as well as Luna full-on cackles finally getting a chance to laugh now that the guard went out to battle. Celestia was punched in the face by Entity, and she was sent through a wall and out into the outside world, Entity jumped after her. Meanwhile, I was fighting the Royal Guard, they tried to stab me with their spears but I broke the tips with one kick. Luna flew in and bucked me in my jaw and I was sent hurling into the wall.
"Go, he is too dangerous." Luna turned towards the Royal Guard, I appeared above her with my fist cocked back.
"Luna behind you!" One of the Royal Guards cried out but it was too late as I punched the back of her head into the ground. I look towards the guards and was suddenly hit in the jaw by Luna. I hit the ceiling and Luna flew up and uppercut me through the ceiling and onto the prison rooftops. I landed on the roof as Luna summons her scythe with her horn.
"Can you make this fair and have a fist battle? Because having a weapon is unfair." She looks at me.
"Indeed it is, I agree to your terms." She unsummoned her scythe and ran at me, she tried to punch me but I raised my knee, blocking the attack. I try to spin kick her but she catches it and threw me off the prison rooftops and into the ground. I rolled to my feet and she was flying at me with her fist out, I threw my punch to counter hers and we clashed sending a shockwave around our area. We exchanged blows rapidly the normal pony eye cannot see that we were moving around and clashing, we clashed on rooftops, the earth, the sky, everywhere. I can tell she was holding back, I was as well, I was just getting warmed up. She tried to buck me with her hoof but I did what any normal human would do.
"Tekai!" My body turned hard as iron and when she kicked me I didn't budge, needless to say, she wore a face of surprise. I use a tempest kick and she was hit. I was done with the warm-up and started to get serious, I was glad that she was done as well. She was surrounded by a dark blue aura, the force of her aura shook the ground.
"I see we're done with warm-ups well... If that's the case then, here goes!" I turn into my hybrid form and dash at her, I try to bring my fist down on her but she caught it easily with her hand. I growled and used Madara, sending all sorts of attacks her way, she blocked them all with one finger. She flew up to me and flicked my forehead sending me straight into houses. Every griffin was flying away in fear of getting killed by our clashes, I got up and used one of my more dangerous techniques.
"Tobu Shigan Hibachi!" I shot a giant fireball at Luna who shot a ray of magic at my fireball. The impact caused dust to kick up and fly into the air, pieces of the earth shot up. When the dust settled she found that I was gone.
"Hmph." She crossed her arms.
Thanos POV
Everyone was back together, me and the boys, we ran to the ship and I looked around, the Griffin and Royal Guard were after them as well as the Mane Six and Princesses. Zachary stood between them and us and had his scythe ready, he raised it up.
"YOUUU SHALL NOT PASS!!!!!!" He slammed his scythe down and the ground started to tumble a firewall blocked them from us. "Ight let's go!" We turn towards the ship and hopped on it, with the help of me and Lucci we rocketed our way out of the kingdom like a bat out of hell. When we were a good distance from port Zachary turned towards me.
"Did you make a Token yet?" He asked hands on his knees.
"No, I'm too focused on saving all of you." I crossed my arms.
"How about we make Tokens? It's just us now, we can probably do some crap." Grievous shrugged, Lucci turned towards me and nodded, I groaned.
"My name is Thanos the Mad Titan, call my name and I shall answer." A Token formed in my hand and disappeared.
"Why don't we all make Tokens?" Zachary asked, Lucci, smiled.
"My name is Rob Lucci, say "Watermelon" and I will answer your call." A Token formed in his hand and disappeared.
"My name is Grievous master of all four elements, if you need me, call me, say my names three times and I'll be at your door like Beetlegeuse." His Token formed in his hand and vanished.
"My name is Entity 303, the warrior of flames, call my number and I'll do crap I don't know." His Token appeared in his hand and it popped out of existence.
"And now we wait," I said looking up at the sky.
Author's Notes:

White is for Grievous
Yellow is for Lucci
Green is for everyone
My little phony
My little phony
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
My little phony!
I used to wonder what friendship could be
My little phony!
Until you shared all its torture with me!
Big losers!
Idiotic goals!
A broken heart,
Ugly and weak!
Sharing suffering,
Is an easy feat,
AND DEPRESSION MAKES IT ALL COMPLETE!!!
We have gay little ponies!
Don't you know no one will remember you, in the end, ~
Thanos POV
I stood there on the ship, we were heading for the Abyssinian Kingdom and we were so bored. Like no cap we were bored as buck, I was steering the ship
"Are we there yet?" Entity asked looking at Lucci.
"No, not until another thousand miles," Lucci said looking into the ocean, Entity groaned. Grievous was on the back of the ship doing whatever.
"Yohohohoho-" Lucci threw a plank at my head, my helmet shielded the attack. "Dude what the buck?!"
"No! None of that, shame on you." Lucci shook his fist at me, I shook my head at his antics. Ten minutes passed but it seemed like ten hours have passed, Lucci was working out, Entity was relaxing trying to get some sun. Grievous was still chilling in the back.
"Can you check on Grievous?" I asked, Lucci, stopped doing his finger push-ups and walked in the back.
"Dear God it's everywhere!" Well, now I know what Grievous has been doing. Me and Entity laughed our flanks off, Grievous has actually been fixing a leak in the ship. Grievous fixed the leak and was now steering the ship, I was laying down along with my bros.
"Do you remember the Battle of The Badlands?" Entity asked looking into the sunny sky, Lucci turned his head to Entity.
"Yeah it was very bloody, I had to fight the actual Cerberus," Lucci said thinking back to the battle, yeah the Cerberus guarding Tartarus now is a pup the real Cerberus is like three times its size.
"And I had to fight Celestia and Luna." I shuddered, fighting young Celestia and Luna is dangerous, Celestia was a warrior back then and Luna was close in strength but not in skill.
"Oh, and speaking of Luna I fought her back at the Grifton prison." Lucci turned to me, I raised an eyebrow.
"And how well did that turn out?" I asked, he breathed through his teeth.
"Not. Good. Oh, and Entity how was your fight?" Lucci said before he yawned causing me to yawn which caused Entity to yawn which caused you to yawn which caused Grievous to yawn.
"Well..." Entity began
Two days ago
Entity 303 POV
"HAH!!!!" I tried to slam my scythe into Celestia but she blocked it with her sword, we clashed verily every hit sent shivers up my spine. She flew into the air and fire shot from my feet and I started to fly as well, Celestia's eyes widened in shock as I try to slam my scythe into her yet again, she evaded it, and our weapons connected with each other. With a flash of light, she was gone, I looked to my left, then my right, where was she? I was suddenly hit in the gut by a fist, I looked at my attacker and it was Celestia. I was sent flying into the ground and she followed, when I hit the ground she stomped on me with both of her hooves. I went an inch deep in the ground, she stomped on me again and again each hit sending me another inch into the ground. She charged up a magic bolt.
"I will not let you harm anyone of my little ponies. I will make sure you harm no pony ever again." She had a look in her eyes that said what she was going to do to me. I shot two red beams out of my hands making me fly out of the attack's reach. She was holding in the magic bolt, charging it, waiting for the right moment to pull it off. I shot fireballs at her and she avoided the attack, each fireball sent her way was dodged as her attack became more and more powerful. She leaped into the air and she was in the way of the sun making her blast ten times powerful.
"Buck." She released it onto me.
Present Time
Thanos POV
"What happened?" I asked, Entity sighed.
"Did you see how charred up my fur was? Yup, that was her." Entity sighed, while we just wait...
"This is going to be a long day."
Rescue 3 - Aftermath
Celestia POV
I was disappointed, I looked at my little ponies only three of them got in harm's way the others told me they were guarding the ships. Rainbow Dash's right hoof was in a cast and she had crutches, Twilight's ribs were broken and Starlight was in good condition but Shining Armor, however... Shining Armor was good physically but not mentally this was his first loss in his records. My little ponies were standing before me, I stood tall over them and my sister crossed her arms shaking her head.
"My little ponies, you put yourself in harm's way and two of you would be killed. I have but only one question, why?" They didn't say a word each of them looking down to the ground like a bunch of scared kids. I always hated having to do this, Rainbow Dash surprisingly spoke first.
"We thought that we could handle them, I mean we beat Discord and-" Rainbow Dash awakened something within me, hate, motherly love, and overprotection.
"They're nothing compared to these monsters!" I snapped making everypony but my sister Luna flinch, I sighed and rubbed my eyes.
"Listen my little ponies, these... these monsters aren't like Discord, Nightmare Moon, Chrysalis, and even Tirek for that matter. They wouldn't even stand a chance against these monsters, you see... 1,600 years ago when Discord was running amok, someone beat him, badly, he wasn't as strong as he used to be which caused us to beat him. The one who beat Discord was Thanos and his allies, Thanos wielding all of the stones beat him and snapped him like a twig. When we later caught Thanos when he was sleeping and brought him to the Castle of Two Sisters he had a certain charm back then. One year passed and we... Started to date and eventually got married. When I wanted to wipe all evil from Equestria he disagreed, stating that too much harmony will cause chaos and bring nothing but despair. We had a fight and he left me, he went to the Storm Kingdom and the First Great Equestrian War happened, we had the Minotaurs, the Abyssinians, and the Hippogriffs on our side but he had the Zebras, the Humans, the Griffons, and of course the Storm Kingdom under his lead. Eventually, I decided to decimate the Humans because they were the most dangerous threat, we ended up making them go extinct making Thanos go into a fit of rage and destroy half of Equestria with the Power Stone. After a few years of fighting, I separated them one by one leaving Entity for me to fight we fought and I won, Grievous was shot down by one thousand Royal Guards, Rob Lucci was beaten by King Iron Horn, Sally was cut into pieces but survived, Rapunzel was held down by the Abyssinian Queen at that time, Supergirl was caught sleeping and was sent to prison and Thanos... He fought at one final stand with all of his men under his control, we clashed, the fight lasted for a full month and in the end, Thanos fought valiantly but lost. What I'm telling you is... Thanos is too much for you to handle, it took a full month to take him down with a whole army. How much is the fight going to last when six little ponies go at him? One minute without his stones and barely even ten seconds with it. Please, go home, I'll call upon you when the time is right." I turned around and the guards and Luna followed me.
"I-I think she's right, w-we're too inexperienced." Fluttershy turned to the group.
"Yeah ah guess..." Applejack rubbed the back of her head.
"I wanted to kick some evil butt!" Pinkie Pie whined Rarity sighed.
"It's my fault if it wasn't for me, Rainbow Dash and Shining wouldn't be like this. I'm so sorry." Tears flushed down Rarity's face and Fluttershy and Starlight came to comfort her.
"Come on girls, let's go..." They walk-off and go to their ship, meanwhile someone in the shadows hummed.
"Looks like there are Displaced here, hm, I wonder, should I follow them? Well, they seem fun so why not?" The figure let out a quiet chuckle, Fluttershy looked back, wondering what that sound was.
"Fluttershy come on." Twilight said as she walked on when Fluttershy didn't comply she stopped, "What's the matter?"
"I don't know Twilight, I thought I heard something." Twilight shook her head and moves on, Fluttershy too one more look back before following Twilight.
Author's Notes:
Who is this mysterious figure? Another Displaced? A new Villain? Try and guess? Muahahahahahhahahahahaha- cough cough God bucking damn it

Petra POV
I grabbed Queen Catra's sword making it rust I then snapped it and put the rest of the blade in her shoulder, she let out a cry in pain. I tried to kick her but she evaded it jumping back verily as she stopped herself from moving backward more. She frowned at me and she got in her fighting stance, I got in mine, smiling knowing this will all be over when I touch her with my hands. I lunged at her with my hand out ready to rip and tear through her feline flesh. but she evaded my attempts at landing one hit on her. She smiled and roared like a lion which caused me to stumble back and that was all she needed to completely decimate me.
"Paws of Fury!" She threw her raging paws at me every hit getting more dangerous and faster than before, and to make things worse her "ora' was just like Kenshiro's!
"ATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATAAA HWATA!!!!!" She finished her attack with a punch to the abdomen, I slid back and she readied her claws and ran at me, my eyes opened wide as she closed in on me ready to rip me to bits! And with a blood-curdling scream, she tore me up like a piece of paper.
Present Time
I stood there in my cell, I had gloves on my hands that had a spell that couldn't be taken off by my hands. I had a violin that after begging and pleading, I got it. The violin is the only thing that keeps me sane, it makes me happy and scares off the sadness, I decided to play my favorite song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTlsRe5202o
"Gather up all of the crew..." I began singing with every ounce of sadness, the sadness overtakes me sometimes and that's okay, I need to let it out sometimes. I sang with a smile as tears wash down my cheeks, I don't know how but I have tears. I sang quietly thinking back to the good old days. I miss my friends.
Thanos POV
I saw land! It's been like, a whole week. No, seriously it's been a whole week, even with me and Lucci's geppo combination. As soon as I stepped foot on the land I heard a voice call my name.
"Thanos, the Mad Titan, I need your aide! I call upon you."
"Someone is calling me, hold up, this will be interesting. Lucci, Grievous, Entity get Sally and get outta here, adios!" A portal appeared beside me and I hopped in ready for what awaits me.
"He bucking bailed out on us!" Grievous' eye twitched, Lucci turned and looked at the 300 Abyssinian guards in front of them.
"We have bigger frish to- bigger fist to- bigger fishhshshs- motherbucker bigger flish- UGH!!!!! BIGGER FISH TO FRY!!!!!" Lucci lunged at the guards with his fist cocked back as Entity and Grievous laugh their flanks off as they ran at them as well.
Lucci POV
I slammed one of the Abyssinian guard's faces into the ground and using a deadly Rankyaku Hakurai, which is basically spinning with both of your legs in the air and using a large Rankyaku that expands like a circle decimating anyone that gets in its way. This attack appeared fruitful as many of the guards were cut in half by the Rankyaku, Entity was burning and slicing the guards with a grin on his face, Grievous was burning and bashing his enemies with his swords.
"This brings me back to the old days! When we fought armies like this and always coming out on top!" Grievous slammed a guard with his claw. I smiled kicking two guards with both legs and using Shigan to kill four more, Entity was having the time of his life letting out a lot of built-up frustration and anger.
"It sure does!" I said with a grunt slamming my heel down on the head of an Abyssinian guard, the poor girl's face hit the ground and went an inch deep in it. I definitely felt bad but it didn't make me feel bad enough to stop fighting.
"It's time boys." Entity announced, we smirked and looked at each other. With the power of geppo, we reached the sky, I got into my hybrid form, Entity was surrounded in a dark red aura, and Grievous' elemental swords emanated with their element.
"Super Triple Attack!" We all dashed to the ground, I had my fist out, Entity had a combination of a red beam and fireball in his hand, and Grievous was about to slam all of his swords on the ground, when our attacks hit the ground simultaneously, it sent a deadly wave of force, magic, fire, and some of the other elements at the enemies destroying them in the process.
"Welp, all's well that ends well, now let's go." We ran towards the palace that was several meters away from us, like three football fields away from us. Then as we closed in on the palace there was a sign that read, "Bridgework ahead"
"Bridgework ahead? Uh, yeah I sure hope it does." I and Grievous laughed at Entity who just looked at us with a confused look on his face, oh Entity, poor, poor Entity. The palace was brown and looked like one of those cat towers people buy for their cats, it's actually pretty cool looking we ran and jumped over the construction workers building the bridge and ran for the palace in an all-out sprint. I was the fastest of the bunch, Grievous and Entity going at the same speed we then kick down the door sending the door into the guards guarding the queen. The queen sat there unamused on her throne, Queen Furby. (I know a purrfect name.)
"Sup, we're just going to get our friend you don't mind us," I said while giving them a signal by doing the okay sign with my fingers. Queen Furby sat up and walked down the steps leading up to her throne.
"I'm afraid I cannot allow that." I was suddenly punched in the gut and was sent into a nearby wall.
"Lucci! You'll pay for that." Entity summoned his scythe, I got up from the punch.
"Just go! I'll take her." The two nodded and ran for a door leading underground she ran after them and with a shave I appeared in front of her and kicked her in the nose, she did a backflip when she was hit and she landed on her feet as all cats do. She watched as the two went inside and frowned.
"You dare get in my way?" She asked, her tone was very regal and could intimidate others but not me. I smiled and got into my fighting stance.
"Oh, I dare alright, you're the one in our way. So please quit this, I don't wanna send you to a vet." I smiled and she growled.
"That little remark is going to cost you your life." She said speaking through her teeth as she clenched her paws, my smile grew wider when she said that.
"Well then take my life!" We ran at each other and our fists collide sending shockwaves that made windows shatter and throw us back into the walls of the throne room. We bounced off the walls and on our feet to which we ran at each other once more striking each other with the force of a typhoon. She tried to spin kick me but I caught her leg and threw her into her throne, she used Shave and appeared before me, my eyes widened in shock. 'How can she use Shave?!' I asked myself before she jabbed at my face, I get knocked backward but I return the jab with a one-inch punch which knocked the wind out of her. I had a grin on my face as I Shigan Madara the crap out of her, remember kids when you finger a girl, make it hurt. There were some holes in Queen Furby's chest as I finish off the barrage with a punch to the face, she retaliated with a punch to the face that was so anger filled it shook my body and sent me flying, I caught myself in the air and looked behind me it was Queen Furby in some type of form! She punched me down into the earth making a small crater form from the impact.
"This is Neko Neko Model: Cheetah!" She was in her hybrid state, my jaw hit the ground, but it then turned into a smile, I got up and crossed my arms. I then got into my hybrid form, she was taken aback by this.
"This is Neko Neko Model: Leopard! Now that we're both transformed... Let's have a good fight!" I shaved my way up to her and struck her gut she was hardly fazed by it, I then looked at her fist it was covered in Armament Haki! She hit me in the jaw and I clenched my fist and punched her face this time she was sent to the roof, and with the power of geppo and shave. I landed on the rooftops and was hit off of it by a speeding punch to the face I was sent hurling into buildings making the people of Purris ran and scattered far and wide. I jumped up and saw Furby dashing at me she was about to punch me, I used shave whilst in the air and our fists collided, we both grunted and jumped back using geppo to stay in the air.
"You're... You're actually a challenge..." Queen Furby panted.
"Same to you..." My vision began to blur but I shook it off. We went at each other again.
Entity POV
I kicked down a guard who tried to block my way, Grievous ran in front of me and made a powerful fire slash burning them, as we ran past the burning cats we closed in on an empty room with a lone cell. There lied Sally playing her violin, Grievous with a swift slash, cut her cuffs and her cell. Her eyes opened wide and looked around.
"Sally we need to-" She hugged tackled me and we hit the floor.
"Finally you bucking got to me! When this is over we're having kids! NO matter what you say you're going to be a father one way or another darn it!" I laughed, Sally didn't change at all!
"Okay, before that let's get out of here!" She got off of me and pushed Grievous aside as the guards ran towards her.
"Move aside, things are about to be crazy." She realized that she cannot take them off and she sheepishly turns towards me.
"Can ya help me out here?" I laughed and took off the gloves for her, I nodded, and she nodded back knowing what to do. She ran through the horde of guards, touching them on the shoulders and turning to dust, when she was done she reduced the gloves to dust, and with a well-timed snap, the guards all crumbled to dust.
"Remind me to not get in her way." Grievous turned towards me and I nodded, we ran up some spiral steps leading to the throne room, Sally was in front of us and when we reached it the room was trashed. Sally deadpanned.
"Let me guess, Lucci?" She turned towards us and we let out a sigh.
"Yup." We then heard a crash and raced outside we saw Lucci in front of Queen Furby with a powerful Rokuogan sending her into the earth, he reverts to his normal form and was now falling to the ground unconscious... while in the air... I now realized this.
"LUCCI!!!!!" I cried out as I ran towards with speeds that would make the Sonic Rainboom look slow I caught him out of the air and landed. I checked his pulse, he was breathing I sighed in relief as the others caught up to me.
"We need to go to the ship!" A portal right next to the ship appeared and Thanos popped out, he looked at us and smiled.
"Come on!" He shouted as we ran towards him, we looked back at us and saw an army. So we sprinted towards the ship we jumped on it and he walked in front of us, his back facing ours. He put his infinity blade in his gauntlet hand and held out a fist.
"Netsu Netsu, Hot Feet!" His fist was bright with heat and he slammed his fist on the ground making the surrounding area red with heat. He walked back in the scorching ground while we were on the ship, our jaws hit the floor as he so casually walks back onto the ship.
"I... What?!" We were more confused than a penguin in the Sahara!
"I'll tell you later." He said, holding up a black Devil Fruit as he sails us away with a smug grin on his face.

I walked forwards and saw a tiny little shadow man before me, the being had a high ponytail, a black trenchcoat, darker boots, and black pants, yeah using black in the sun isn't really a smart idea, but oh well.
"So," I mused looking down at him, he was so small! Bwahahahaha! "You're the one who called me? What do you want?" He dropped my fake gauntlet and got into an unnoticeable battle stance to the untrained eye, but I can perfectly see that the little stance has is a bucking battle stance.
"You the real Thanos?" He began. "Mad Titan. Conqueror of worlds?" I shook my head.
"Does it really matter?" I grinned, I could smell the fear from him, he is just like the people of Equus back at home. He looked at me with distrust, but then he suddenly relaxed I glanced behind him and saw a weird shadow. I blinked once and still saw it, he was a Devil Fruit user, Shadow Shadow? No, must be something else. Then I suddenly stopped and thought, this boy really thought he could hide that shadow from me, thinking I would not notice it inching closer, I was the hide and seek champion through my years in kindergarten so my eyes are trained. No, seriously that's why my eyes are so trained.
"Not really," He admitted ever so casually. "As long as you don't plan on killing any pony." any pony? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAAAAA!!!!!! OH MAN OHHHHHH!!!!!! That is bucking hilarious! He- he uses their variation of anybody! Ohh I'm so gonna tell the boys when I get back home.
"Any pony?" I said slipping out a chuckle, careful to not full-on laugh as I would do in these situations. "I don't kill people or ponies who annoy me and you aren't exactly an eyesore. What's your name little one." I raised an eyebrow, I call people who are shorter than me "Little one" because it is very fitting.
He narrowed his eyes, insulted. "Eric Von Shadow," he growled. His growl died to a groan as I laughed again his name sounded so edgy, like an edgy teenager going into a different world with magic ponies- Oh wait, that's him! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
"No, I meant your real name," I insisted. "I can tell a fake name from a real one." I really wanted to know his actual name, not many displaced share their real name, just their character name which is confusing to me. I saw him glare at the Canterlot Palace, and I suddenly thought, bucking Sunnybutt is there! Oh man, this will be fun.
"Eric Monohan," He grumbled. He gave me a more analytical glare. "And are you actually Thanos? Or are you like me?" I thought about that for a second, does he really think I'm the real Thanos? If so then my acting is peak.
I chuckled yet again, this dude could get Entity a run for his money when it came to comedy. "Technically, the name's John Oliver," I replied, I hadn't heard my name in years. "But, if you're going by Von Shadow, I think I'm entitled to go by Thanos."
"Then you might want this," Eric replied, tossing me my gauntlet. "Well, it's been fun, but you might as well go back." He turned to leave me behind. This bucking guy man, what the heck?! I'm not willing to give up interaction with a new human, not today, not ever!
"What is your title?" I asked, he suddenly stopped and turned towards me with a grin.
"Reaper of the Crystal Empire." He answered I had an idea in mind.
"And," I continued, drawing my double-bladed sword. "Would you like to show me why that's your title?" A grin crossed my face, a dangerous grin that made all of my enemies flee from sight but Eric stood there almost unfazed.
"Are you really challenging a Devil Fruit User?" He asked, a scythe of shadows forming in his hand.
My grin said it all, he couldn't help but grin as well, this is going to be epic.
"No killing," Eric noted, even as he spun his scythe. "Gotta keep this fight exciting."
"LIkewise, Shadow man," I replied. And with twin smiles, we lunged.
Our blades met my own tearing through his like tissue paper. Had he not eluded to the left then my blade would have torn off his nose and half his face. Rolling into a dodge, Eric dropped into his shadow, surfacing a few feet away.
"Don't like the Shadow Scythe, huh?" Eric asked, drawing the Murakumogiri. "Then how about I get to the good stuff?" Oh man, this is so awesome!
I merely laughed. "Your weapon is heavy on one side," I pointed out. "Such imbalance can't hope to go against me and my blade!" It literally goes against everything I stand for, one way or a-bucking-nother I am breaking that blade
"Then come get me, Mad Titan," He dared, so I approached him
I dropped my weapon onto him, he suddenly vanished he appeared behind me, carving a groove into my armor. I wasn't even fazed. I glanced back at Eric, that was the Shave technique
"The Shave Technique," I commented. "An impressive form," I smiled, his form was truly impressive. I then vanished from sight just like he had done moments ago.
"However," he added from behind me. "You're not the only one who knows it!"
He spun with barely enough time to spare. I was bringing his sword down. He was barely able to bring my arm up in time. But when my blade met his limb... he was knocked back. He blinked in shock, eliciting a smile from me.
"If you're familiar with the Shave Technique," Eric noted. "Then you should recognize the Iron Body." He shoved me back, though it was a lot like shoving a brick wall.
"That's two of the Six Powers," I smiled. "I take it you have access to all six?"
"Correct," He replied, stabbing his weapon into the ground. "So how bout we make this more fun?" He cricked his neck. "No weapons. No powers. Just combat skills and the Six Powers?"
"Sadly, I've only got three of the six," I replied, shedding his cloak and armor. "But at least it's half, am I right?" I smiled and cracked my knuckles.
"Good enough," Eric replied, shedding his coat. "I'll only use the Shave, Iron Body, and the Tempest Kick." He reformed his battle stance. "Whenever you're ready, Thanos."
"Let's gets this fight started, Von Shadow," I replied vanishing into the air.
Immediately He used the Shave Technique to match my speed. My blows, aided by my gauntlet, packed a punch. But by combining his punches with the Iron Body technique, he managed to make a few dents in my armor, I grumbled thinking I'll have to fix the dents when I get back home.
Time flew with our punches. I assume maybe an hour passed. Or a day. Either way, the sun was just kissing the horizon when we backed up, sweat pouring down our bodies and our breath ragged.
I chuckled and shook my head "You are quite skilled, I'd say you'd even be a match for Lucci."
I threw a Tempest Kick at Eric... but his body exploded into shadows when I caught him. I blinked in shock as he reformed.
"You said no powers," I argued crossing my arms with a frown.
Eric shrugged. "That's one part I can't turn off," he replied, before holding his hand out. "Call a draw?"
I hummed, before taking his hand. "For now," I replied with a knowing grin. I can tell this will be the start of a beautiful friendship.
I settled myself down with my arm against my knee. "So... what do you need help with?"
He tilted his head.
"You called me with my token," I reminded him. "Said you needed my aide."
He sat there a thought for what it seems like a minute, he then looked at me with my impatient stare.
"Right," Eric said with a sheepish grin, settling on the sand as well. "So, about a month ago, we caught wind of an army forming in the Frozen North..."
"And you want me to destroy this army?" I asked with a grin. I busted out laughing before he could even let out a grin. "Sorry, Von Shadow, but without the stones, I'd be at a bit of a disadvantage." I lifted his gauntlet for emphasis. Well, I could be able to beat them but I would have to come up with a strategy.
He chuckled. "No," He confirmed. "But the master of this force wants to amass an army of Devil Fruit users. Now, I've managed to train most of the Mane 6 to properly use their Devil Fruits. However, I can't get past Pinkie's childish demeanor and Rainbow's refusal to admit her weaknesses."
I brushed my chin, looking up at the Canterlot Castle. "Hm, I see your problem." For a moment, I pondered the sand. "Have you tried a severe fear-based tactic?"
He blinked. "A... what?"
"Hear me out..." he began to explain.
Third Person
Eric stood pacing back and forth within the training ground. Nearby, Pinkie played with her shadow. Rainbow Dash, meanwhile, tumbled out of the air, stomping the ground with a growl of frustration. Eric's gaze matched hers, as he exhaled in an attempt to stay calm.
"Fall in!" Eric barked, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie jumping to position before him. "Once again none of you are taking this seriously," he lectured. "Hell, even Fluttershy is taking this more seriously than you two."
Pinkie's hair deflated, while Rainbow Dash glowered at him. The Shadow Man rubbed the bridge of his nose.
"Look, I'm not trying to be an ass about this," he continued. "I'm trying to get the two of you to understand. Our enemy isn't going to hold back. They will kill us and they won't even bat an..."
Without warning, a fist burst out of Eric's chest, clutching his heart. Pinkie and Rainbow Dash jumped back with screams as a large, purple-skinned figure appeared behind the shadow man.
Eric stared at his own heart as the purple figure crushed it in his fist, black blood painting the ground before the figure yanked his fist out. Eric stumbled forward, staring at the new hole in his chest before falling to his knees. Briefly, he looked up at the horrified mares.
"E-Eric...?" Dash whimpered.
"Run," he gasped out. Then he slumped to the ground.
Pinkie screamed while Rainbow Dash leaped in front of her, seething with grief and rage as the purple figure laughed before them. His golden armor was covered in the stitches of the mysterious zombie fruit wielders. And worst of all, he held a Devil Fruit in his hand. Once which he promptly popped into his mouth.
"The Power!" the monster laughed as shadows started to pour from his body like an early morning mist. "My master shall be pleased." He leered down at the two. "Especially when I bring him two more Power Fruits!"
Rainbow Dash snarled, flames bursting over her body.
"You'll pay for what you did!" she screamed, launching at the creature like a rocket.
The creature vanished as Rainbow Dash charged, only to reappear behind her. Seizing her hair, the monster halted her charge completely before slamming her into the earth.
"Too slow, Pony," the monster mocked, his boot keeping Rainbow pinned.
"Dashie!" Pinkie squeaked, before trying her own charge. Throwing her arms back, she stretched them to their limits before hurling them at the beast. However, he managed to catch both of her arms with only one massive hand.
"Nice try," he commented, before extending his hand. A shadow tendril launched around the pink mare's neck, squeezing her so her head bulged.
"Pinkie!" Rainbow gasped as her friend struggled for breath.
"You want her to live?" the creature asked. His grip on Pinkie's neck lessened. "Tell me about your weaknesses."
Rainbow Dash snarled. "I have none!" she snapped, throwing a fireball at the giant. A shadow wall caught the flames and dissipated them into nothing.
"Wrong answer." the monster replied, doubling his grip on Pinkie. The pink mare gagged, her face turning blue.
"Wait-wait!" Dash screamed. "Fine!" She lowered her head. "I'm... I'm weak."
"Oh?" The creature asked.
"No matter how hard I try," Dash confessed. "I'm just a pony. I'm not as strong as a dragon or a yak or a minotaur..." Tears welled up in her eyes. "They can at least take a hit and keep on coming."
The beast relaxed his grip on the pink mare.
"I've tried to make up for it," Dash admitted. "I've tried to be fast, so I can never get hit. And my ego's always been there to make it seem like I knew what I was doing. But..." Her head lowered. "But if I get hit... that's it. It doesn't matter how tough or fast I am... I just can't get up after that."
Thanos nodded. "Good girl," he said, dropping Pinkie. The pink mare gave a long gasp of air, her blue face returning to normal. He grinned down at her. "But she still has to die." He drew his blade and stabbed down.
"NO!" Rainbow Dash wailed as Pinkie screamed, breaking down into hysterical sobs. However, as her sobs sounded... they were intermixed with laughter.
Rainbow looked around, blinking her tears away... and gasped. Eric was sitting up. Laughing at her. The hole in his chest was gone! He grinned at Dash as she gaped at him. Thanos couldn't help but laugh as well
"Now was that so hard?" With a wave of his hand, the shadows around Thanos returned to his body. The black stitches faded into the darkness as well.
"You...?" Rainbow Dash stammered, her fire flaring back up as her rage boiled over. "You...!" She looked back and forth between him and Thanos. "Eric, you have five seconds to tell me what in Celestia's name is going on!"
"Or what?" Eric dared. Rainbow Dash turned beet red but had no comment. Eric shrugged. "But, since you insisted..." he pats Thanos' shoulder. "Meet Thanos. He's a fellow Shade like myself. I brought him here to help with both of your training."
"But he killed Pinkie!" Dash argued.
"Did I?" Thanos asked.
He pulled his blade from the pink mare. There was no sign of blood or gore. Pinkie felt at her chest, staring in disbelief at the lack of a mark. Though her pink fur had nearly paled to white, and her mane was completely deflated.
"All this was," Thanos explained. "Was a means to get you to admit your weaknesses. And for Pinkie to understand that you can't play around with an opponent. They will kill you without hesitation."
"And the Devil Fruit?" Pinkie mumbled.
"I promised him one in exchange for his help," Eric replied nonchalantly.
"Speaking of which, which one did you give me?" the Titan asked.
"The Heat-Heat Fruit." Eric grinned. "With your size, I thought it would be perfect for you. Not to mention if you turn hostile, I can take you out easily."
"Pretty cocky for someone who fought me to a standstill." Thanos shot back, though he couldn't keep the grin off his face.
"Eric!!" Rainbow screamed from under Thanos' boot, regaining the attention of the two displaced humans.
"Right. Sorry," the Shadow Man apologized. With a motion from him, Thanos got off Rainbow Dash. "So with the help of Thanos, I managed to get both of you to finally understand the severity of our situation."
~Earlier~
Thanos POV
"I kill you," I said.
He blinked in disbelief. "Come again?"
"You want them to understand the gravity of this upcoming war?" I asked with a shrug. "Well, then you need to die. With your powers, my attacks won't do any real damage, right? We'd just need something to substitute your heart."
Eric grinned. "That's... actually not a bad idea," He admitted, pulling out the Heat-Heat Fruit. "This could work as a substitute for my heart." Eric shrugged. "Heck, you can have it if it works."
"Aw," I replied with a grin. "But I didn't get you anything."
"Just give me something awesome next time we meet" Eric replied.
Standing up, he offered his hand to the Titan. I quirked an eyebrow at Shadow, though it quickly shot into a wide-eyed look of disbelief when he managed to pull me up.
"I'm a lot stronger than I look," He explained. "I've trained in the Crystal Empire since I was fifteen years old." He let him go. "Now. Ready to break a ponies will and resolve?"
I grinned. "It is inevitable."
"Please understand," I said to a still fuming Rainbow Dash. "Eric and I did this to protect you. Knowing one's weaknesses makes one stronger. As well as knowing when to play, and when to be serious in a fight can mean the difference between Life and Death." I sheathed my blade. "I would know. I've battled the..."
He nudged me, reminding me of who I was talking to.
"I mean..." I quickly rectified. "I've fought in countless battles. So I know when to fool around and when to be serious." I glanced up at the sun. "Well, I think it's best I return to my friends."
Turning, I came face to face with Celestia herself. The sun princess blinked in shock at me. Immediately I froze before glancing at Eric.
"Meet me where we first fought," I said, before edging around the Princess before giving her a grin. "Nice seeing you, Sunny."
The princess blinked in confusion but I didn't stick around to explain.
"Eric..." Celestia stammered. "Who... or rather what... was that? And why did it call me Sunny?"
"His name is Thanos," Eric replied, watching me walk off. "He's a shade like me." He shook his head. "But I have no idea why he calls you that."
Leaving Celestia flummoxed, I dropped into Eric's shadow, yanking me to him. We resurfaced at the beach. The infinity gauntlet sat waiting for us.
For a moment, we sat there, staring out at sea.
"You married the Celestia in your Equestria," Eric guessed.
"I did," I replied with a nod. "Then she found out about the stones."
I lowered my head. "She wanted to use the stones to erase all evil. I disagreed; I told her a world with no evil would be an imbalanced world."
I shook my head. "She refused to listen, and we started a war against each other."
I glanced back. "This world's Celestia looks just like her when we first married."
Eric tsked. "I'm sorry to hear that," he said with pity. "It's not easy losing your wife."
I gave him a sideways glance.
"She left you too?" I asked.
I shook my head. "She was killed by my best friend," I explained. "He was possessed by a dark spirit."
I hummed in sympathy. "You have my condolences."
"And you've got mine," Eric replied.
I nodded before turning to him. "You may need help in the future," I warned. "You'll need to create a token."
"You mentioned that," Eric noted curiously. "But... how exactly do I do that?"
"You make an item," I explained. "Something you can send into the multiple Equestria's to lend your aid to other Displaced humans."
"Okay. So how do I make one?"
I motioned. "Hold out your palm," I instructed. Eric did as I said. "Now, channel your energy. Turn it into your token."
He began focusing. A black orb started to form before taking shape of a pitch-black Devil Fruit with gray swirls
"Now speak your creed," I instructed.
'I am Eric Von Shadow, I am the Reaper of the Crystal Empire. Should anyone require my aid, simply call upon the Reaper and tell me where to point my scythe!'
Once he finished his creed, Eric tossed the fruit in the air. With a ripple through the air, it vanished. Seconds later, it reappeared and landed in his hand. With a grin, he tossed the fruit over to me
"If you ever require my scythe," Eric said. "Just call upon the Reaper. And I won't hesitate to join you in battle."
I nodded, gripping the fruit to his chest. "Thanks for the fruit, Monohan," I said, as a portal appeared behind him.
"No problem, Oliver," Eric replied.
And with a final nod, I walked into the portal and returned to my Equestria.

"And now we're here." I had just told them the story of how I met Von Shadow and what we did together. My friends were slack-jawed after they heard the story. Grievous frowned, not that he could but it looked like he was a tad bit angrier.
"So, what you're saying is, while we were busting our flanks, fighting armies, and doing work, you were meeting someone who sounds so amazing that I would literally rip off my arm to meet him?!" Grievous was shaking but not of rage but of something else.
"Yeah?" I raised an eyebrow he threw his arms up and swung his head backward and let out an annoyed groan. We all laughed.
"So, what are we going to do now? Supergirl last time I checked was in the Dragon Lands, and we all know how well it would be if we went there. Not to mention that Rapunzel is in Seaquestria and that's several miles deep and again, we all know how that would end, with us dead." Sally deducted, I sat there and thought, we needed to get Supergirl because if we have her, we basically win. Lucci stood up.
"I have an idea, how about... How about you challenge the Golden Hoof to a duel, if you win you get the crown, and every single Minotaur is now under your control if he wins, we turn ourselves in. It's a perfect plan, and I know they have the Reality Stone on them." Lucci had a solid plan.
"Okay, I'll do it, but if I win, you're being changed to Captain of the Guard. Sally will oversee the Navy force, Grievous would oversee blacksmithing, and Entity will oversee the Garrison. Alright, we have that done, let us go." I said looking onward and pointing my sword in front of us.
"To the Minotaur Kingdom!" I shouted.
"Wrong way" Sally giggled, I turned to the left.
"To the Minotaur Kingdom!" I shouted once more.
"To the Minotaur Kingdom!" They pumped their fists in the air.
One Week Later
We arrived at the port and walked off; many guards tried to attack us, but they were reduced to ash when Sally stepped in. We were heading towards the palace, there was an uneasy silence as Lucci kicked down the door to the Throne Room, and Golden Hoof sat upon his throne.
"What do you want." He raised an eyebrow, I stepped forward.
"A duel, if I win, I get the crown and absolute control over Minos, and if you win, we all turn ourselves in." I smiled, he sat there and thought.
"What are the conditions?" He said putting his fingers together like he was thinking about accepting.
"No holds barred, all-out match." He put his hand on his chin, and a smile crossed his face.
"I accept."
I walked into the arena, Golden Hoof was waiting for me, he had his arms crossed and a golden sword that Golden Horn had used centuries ago. The crowd went wild, some wanted me to rule because well, I'd rule with an iron fist. Some wanted Golden Hoof to win because if he didn't the world was going to end, I'm not going to destroy the world, just Equestria because they have too much Harmony.
"Golden Hoof... I've waited too long to fight you in combat. Now that you are ready and prepared, our battle will be legendary!" I pumped my fist into the air and Golden Hoof crossed his arm with a grin on his face.
"Yes, it will, now let us begin." Golden Hoof taps the ground two times before the bell rings indicating that the battle had begun, Golden Hoof ran at me with his fist cocked back ready to punch me, I stood there as my body began to heat up, from thirty degrees Celsius to 1000 degrees Celsius, he punched me but it didn't hurt but Golden Hoof was certainly hurting. He grabbed his hand and roared in pain as he looks at his charred hand, a little tear formed in his eye, he then growled and looked at me.
"What is this sorcery?!" He asked, his eyes dripping with a mix of anger and tears.
"This is the power of the Netsu Netsu No Mi, Heat Body!" I appeared before him in the flash of an eye, not because of shave but just because of how fast I am, I then punched his face with my Gauntlet, a black substance covered it and Golden Hoof was hit by it. Oh, I forgot to mention I have Haki, are you really surprised? I've been here for five years. Yeah, I know it doesn't explain the Six Powers bit but shut up!
"Curse you and your devil powers!" Golden Hoof bellowed as he leaped at me with his sword to which I caught it with my gauntlet was lit ablaze as Golden Hoof quickly let go of the swords and nursed his now burning hands, I then crushed the sword to pieces for it was almost at melting point. The crowd gasped in horror when I broke it, I looked at Golden Hoof, his eyes were filled with tears.
"What did you do? That... That sword..." He couldn't finish his words as the ground below him started to heat up and he jumped in the air but eventually hit the scorching sand.
"Netsu Netsu, Scorching Land!" I laughed as Golden Hoof grunted in pain as his hooves touched the hot sands, he then ran at me with his fist cocked back ready to punch me but this time I hardened my chest with Haki and he punched it, his knuckles made a satisfying cracking sound, as it was satisfying to me it was not satisfying for him as he clutched his hand yet again. I then ran at Golden Hoof and punched his gut with a flaming Armament Haki covered gauntlet.
"Netsu Netsu, Heat Fist!" He was launched into the arena wall, the wall shook and crumbled making the crowd panic but not move from their seats in fear of missing this historical battle. Golden Hoof dropped down from the wall and onto his chest, he didn't move for a minute, and I turned around thinking it was over, but he suddenly jumped into the air and was about the slam his fist onto me.
"Golden Hammer!" He cried out as he punched the back of my head, I went on one knee and Golden Hoof started to go at me.
"Golden Bullets!" He shot a flurry of attacks at me, fists were thrown, and I was getting hit by every single one of them, my Armament Haki couldn't protect all the areas but at least it protected some. He was about to throw one more fist at me, but I caught it, I then wrapped my hand around his neck with my gauntlet hand and started to heat him up. Sweat poured down his face and judging by the look he has he didn't know it was out of fear or it was because of my heat.
"You know, the boiling point for blood is 212 degrees Fahrenheit, around 100 degrees Celsius, I want to see how much a Minotaur could last under such immense heat or rather live if he felt his blood boil. Yield or die." I said looking into the eyes of Golden Hoof. "Yield!" I tightened my grip around his neck.
"Ne... Never..." He choked out, I sighed.
"Wrong answer." As I start to heat him up his screams of agony could be heard throughout the arena, he tried to get himself free but only got more hurt in the process.
"Leave my daddy alone!" Someone cried out, I looked back and saw a young Minotaur in armor in one of the arena seats.
"Sw-sweetie? My baby girl turn away, turn away now!" He felt his blood start boiling and he tried to suppress a scream in agony but failed miserably.
"Leave him alone, please! I don't want to lose him too!" I blinked, the little girl had no mother, and she is trying to... Oh crap, that's his daughter.
"Yield Golden Hoof now!" I tightened my grip with a glare that would kill most foes.
"N...o..." He gasped out.
"Do you want your daughter to see you killed?" I tightened my grip once more.
"I... Don't... Give... A..." Before he could even finish his sentence, I slammed him down, shaking the whole arena. The heat in the arena disappeared immediately, now I may be a villain but that's too low for my tastes, I looked down onto Golden Hoof with disgust.
"Since I am now king the first thing I'm going to do is send this piece of trash to the dungeons and give him the worse torture you have in your arsenal! This man deserves a fate far worse than death!" I bellowed my friends watched the whole battle and frowned at the Minotaur who was now on the floor, unconscious.
Training.

I sat on my throne as the King of The Minotaurs, it felt good, but then I sat there began to think.
'Von Shadow is another displaced that has the potential to rival me in combat, he seems quite... strong, maybe too strong. I need to get stronger, I know I'm not invincible so I should hone my skills in the Six Powers, if I get the basics down then I could easily put up a fight with Von Shadow. Wait didn't Lucci say that the Minotaurs are in possession of the Reality Stone? Why don't I have it in my gauntlet?' I sat up from my throne and walked on down, the little calf who I saw in the arena, or also know as Golden Shield, walked towards me.
"Mr. Thanos?" She looked up and me, I smiled and kneeled down to her.
"Yes, Golden Shield?" I asked in a soft and mellow tone, she smiled.
"Were you thinking of the red stone in the vault?" How could she know what I was thinking about? Was she a psychic? No, that isn't possible, she is a Minotaur, not a Unicorn. I let out a soft chuckle before answering her.
"Indeed I was little one, do you mind showing me where the vault is?" She nodded and walked off, I followed her. We walked down several hallways and stairs (I had to carry her down those stairs, I don't want her to get hurt do it?) but he finally arrived, it was a big vault, the door was several inches thick. I opened the door with the giant key that was handed to me by the guard who was protecting the vault. There were a lot of weapons, gold, treasures from everywhere, but all in the middle was a glass case and in that glass case was the Reality Stone, I smiled and walked forth.
"It's been too long... But finally, we have reunited again..." I stood in front of the glass case and grabbed the reality stone, breaking the glass. Golden Shield stood there in awe.
"My poppy said that only creatures with the strongest of wills can break that kind of glass..." She looked up to me, and I again, smiling down at her.
"Then my will must be very strong then." I chuckled as I played with the stone in my palm before finally putting it in my gauntlet, the experience shook my body and made me shake, then every single token that I gave to displaced was updated.
"I'm almost whole again... Finally!" I clenched my gauntlet hand and I turn around with haste, "Golden Shield you can watch if you want to but I'm going to do some training!" I smiled as I walked off, she followed me with a waddle, god was it so darn adorable. As I went through several halls I went into a room, easily half the size of a football field, I saw Grievous, Entity, and Lucci sparring, Grievous had one of his swords in his foot and two other in his hands, not using his other set of arms. They then paused with their sparring math and turned to me, I held up my gauntlet, and they smiled.
"Got your stone from Karen?" Grievous joked, and I grinned.
"She has two other stones in her grasp but, I'll get them one way or another." They walked up to me and I give them a 'Are you ready?' look, we go to the sparring area and I waited for the first person to jump at me. I didn't want to get rusty with the Reality Stone, do I?
"Are you guys prepared to get your flanks whooped?" I said clenching my fist and unclenching it.
"No, how about you?" Grievous laughed as he got into his "Three Sword Style" stance.
"And let's begin." I declared as they ran at me, I let them come at my, Lucci was about to pounce on my but a pillar of earth shot up from the ground and hit him, the pillar then bends into an upside-down U and slams him into the earth. Entity and Grievous looked back at Lucci, then back at me, and then charged me, Entity threw his scythe at me to which I ducked, the scythe came around like a boomerang and went back into Entity's hand. Grievous lunged at me trying to slice me with his earth sword, but ironically an earth version of him jumped from the ground and slammed himself onto Grievous, meanwhile, I stood there untouched. I then form rock copies of Lucci and Entity, and you better believe they hit hard, Lucci was still pinned to the ground and Rock Lucci punched Lucci's face over and over and over again, not planning on stopping.
"Tekai!" Lucci shouted as another fist came down on him, but this time, Rock Lucci's fist broke. Lucci then slammed his elbow down on the pillar that was pinning him down, it cracked, and after several attacks, he was set free, while he was still on the ground Rock Lucci axe kicked Lucci down, Lucci's head was now one whole foot deep in the earth because this training room was ground level. Grievous and Rock Grievous were tussling on the ground, rolling and punching, but eventually Rock Grievous kicked Grievous off of him and into a wall, Grievous bounced off of it and landed on his claws, dazed. Rock Grievous ran at Grievous and grabbed him by the back of the head and dragged his head across the wall and into Entity who was currently in a scythe fight with his counterpart. Entity fell and I clench my fist and pillars of rock wrapped themselves around the two, planting them firmly into the ground. Lucci was attacked by an onslaught of attacks by the Rock copies, they were fast, know all six powers too to make it a challenge for Lucci, and oh boy did they succeed. Rock Lucci got Lucci in a full nelson before Rock Grievous and Rock Entity hugged Lucci and they started to form into a rock prison covered him in rock from toe to neck.
"This is was all with the power of the Reality Stone... Imagine, what I could do with all six?" I said looking at Lucci's attempts to break free but with every try, the prison became tighter and tighter, the wind was squeezed out of him like an orange being crushed of its juices, Grievous and Entity were pinned down. I clench my gauntlet fist and everything disappeared that was under the effects of the Reality Stone, the pillar was gone, the Rock copies of the trio sunk into the ground, and the destruction caused by our battle faded. The boys got up and looked at me, injured and awestricken.
"Alright boys, I know we're already strong as it is but we can be stronger! War is coming so we must be on our toes, we all know the Six Powers but not all of them. We need Haki and the Six Powers, until we hone all of those skills we aren't strong enough. I realized with my spar with Von Shadow that I'm not strong enough to one-shot everything. So my goal is to be the best fighter- no, the best warrior a displaced can be! Now let's train boys!" I pumped my fist into the air and the trio pump their fists into the air as well. Sally waddles on down with bacon.
"BACON!!!!!!!!!" We throw our hands into the air, oh just so you know Grievous has some tiny compartment in his back, that is where his taste buds lie and his metal teeth too. Yeah weird... But anyway we eat our meal, Grievous had his head backward as he at his meal which was funny. I then realize that there is a summit involving all of the world leaders to meet at Canterlot.
"Buck."
Author's Notes:
I'm not dead! The reason why I wasn't writing is because it is the bucking weekend, and it was Veterans Day so please go kindly buck off!

I walked down the warship and onto the Canterlot soil, this was the first time I've been to Canterlot. Grievous and Lucci accompanied me, they were my bodyguards not that I need them it was just required. I walked down the streets leading to the palace, ponies all around fainted at the sight of me due to my strong Conquerors Haki. Even the mighty Royal Guards were rendered unconscious due to my sheer will, as I walked up to the palace there was this tiny little Royal Guard shaking at the sight of me.
"T-t-t-t-the m-m-m-m-meeting room i-i-is one left then a right and then straight ahead, y-you can't m-m-miss it!" He squeaked the last bit as he hides behind his spear. Lucci chuckled at the sight of the Royal Guard, we went to the exact direction where the guard told us and we couldn't see it.
"Where is it? Where's the door?" We looked to our left and found it, we let out a slight chuckle.
"Oh, there it is." Grievous opened the door, "Titans go first." He said with a bow, I manage to squeeze myself in and Grievous does as well, Lucci just walks on in because he is normal-sized, me and Grievous are colossal. The other rulers were there, King Thorax who is accompanied with Pharynx and some unknown Changeling, King Rutherford with two Yaks, Ember who is guarded by Garble and a pitch-black dragon, Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Twilight accompanied by the Mane Five and Shining Armor, Steel Wing who is with Gilda and some armored up Griffin, the Storm Queen with two Storm Guards, Queen Furby who is accompanied by a Lion and a Tiger but they're anthro, Queen Novo who has two other armored up Hippogriffs, and finally me with General Grievous and Rob Lucci.
"Thanos, you're late." Celestia frowned, I sat down at my seat as Grievous and Lucci stood tall beside me.
"Fashionably late, mind you I was in a training session with the boys," I said looking at the room, there was a lot of books, war artifacts, and pictures posted on the wall explaining what happened 1,600 years ago.
"Well since you're here now I believe we should discuss why this summit is being held." Celestia crossed her arms looking away from me.
"Yes, I believe so, Princess Celestia would you explain why you have my Power Stone even though you have the Mind Stone in your possession." Steel Wing said with a slight hint of anger in his voice, the other world leaders looked at Celestia in horror, knowing full well what would happen if you have two stones in your grasp.
"Two Infinity Stones? Ce-Celestia tell me this isn't true." Thorax had worry on his face.
"The reason why is because Thanos before he became king defeated Steel Wing in combat and almost got the Power Stone, if it wasn't for Princess Twilight this planet would be in danger," Celestia said looking to Twilight who nodded to confirm, I held up my gauntlet, the Reality Stone lighting up the room with its red hue.
"And just because I don't have the Power Stone doesn't make me a danger to the planet?" I smirked, Celestia growled.
"The Power Stone is the strongest thing on the planet, you wouldn't be a threat with just the Reality Stone." Celestia snapped, my smirk turned into a smile.
"Oh really?" The room started to change form and the walls sprouted chainsaws and stone monsters, the world leaders became frightened and their bodyguards got into their fighting stances. I quickly turned the room back to normal and I sit back in my chair with a smug look on my face.
"Thanos is the most dangerous threat in the universe, why is he even here? Last time I checked he wasn't a world leader." Ember crossed her arms and gave me a sideways glance. Oh and speaking of which I was seated next to Ember, Ember was seated next to Thorax, Thorax was seated next to Steel Wing, Steel Wing was seated next to Rutherford, Rutherford was seated next to Furby, Furby was seated next to Storm Queen, Storm Queen was seated next to Celestia, and I think you know the rest. We were in a circle type table, yup so it went around.
"That's because I challenged Golden Hoof to combat and if I won I became the King and guess who won?" I said before spinning around in my chair, I had to only chair that could spin.
"Well that's believable, he was the weakest of the bunch..." Furby said looking at me.
"Up top!" I scooted to Furby and she high-fived me. "Eyyyy my girl, man if you were there 1,600 years ago I would've chosen you to be my wife instead of good ol' Sunny!" I laughed, Celestia's eyebrow twitched and she clenched her fist.
"The reason why it didn't work out is that you disagreed to wipe out all evil." She stuck her head up in the air like a pompous unicorn.
"That's the reason why I left you is that too much evil gone would make chaos, too much harmony is horrible, imagine if the whole world was sunshine and rainbows?" I snapped.
"Well, at least I don't have bloodthirsty maniacs for friends." She retorted that hit a nerve.
"At least I pay attention to my friends, guess what happened to Nightmare Moon? You ignored Luna and made her feel lonely, unlike you I know the real reason, ponies praised you, loved you, you were so stuck up that you didn't even help out your sister! She visited me in my dreams when I was in my stone prison, she told me her feelings towards you. She loved but you were so stuck up and so... so... selfish you couldn't see the signs!" My words cut through her like a blade and the rulers were like "Oooo" like a Kindergarteners seeing their fellow Kindergartener swear. Her hair started to flare up, her hair was on fire and the room started to heat up.
"Oh crap!" Lucci threw his hands in the air.
"SHE'S GONNA BLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Grievous ducked for cover as did the rest, but I just sat there waiting for a fist to be sent my way but it didn't instead she calmed down.
"I guess you're right, I did ignore her." She said nonchalantly, everyone got out of their cover and sighed. "But at least I didn't start a whole god darn war over because I was asked to destroy all evil!" She snapped at me.
"Here we go again!" I said loudly, "That was your fault for trying to FORCE me to wipe all evil, how many times did you send the guard after me? How many times did you hurt me mentally and physically all because you wanted to wield the gauntlet to wipe all evil?!" I snapped.
"Now that just isn't right" Furby shook her head.
"You stay out of this furball!" Celestia snapped.
"Furball? How original how about you shut up before I make you into a scratching post!" Furby hissed.
"No one talks to my sister like that feline! This is your fault Grievous for not accepting my sister's offer." Luna turned to Grievous,
"ME!?!?!??! I didn't want to slave for you and your tyrannical nation!" Grievous spat, Storm Queen.
"Oh and speaking of nations, Princess Twilight you killed my husband, and you know that the punishment is death." Storm Queen turned to Twilight who was just chilling there.
"It was self-defense, your husband almost destroyed Equestria!" Cadence glared into Storm Queen.
"And speaking of which how can one small pony beat three princesses?" Rutherford added.
"Yeah, your nation is weak, the only thing you ponies are good for is raising the sun and moon." Ember laughed.
"Not to mention you shouldn't have any stones, you already have a superweapon!" Pharynx complained, he did raise a good point.
"Why not give the stones to me? I already had them, to begin with, and did I attack anyone? Yes, but it was only for self-defense!" I spoke.
"Yeah, why not give it to the purple bean?" Pharynx rolled his eyes.
"Hey! I'm a titan, not a bean and even if I was a bean I would be a spicy one so I could burn Celestia's ugly mouth!" I thought of that and chuckled.
It was a whole fest of hurling insults at each other, we were all insulting one another it was... It was like Vietnam all over again! Hah, I have achieved comedy. Twilight sat up from her chair.
"ENOUGH!!!!"
The force of her voice sent all but me and the boys flying.
"Enough, all of you, you're all acting like foals. You two!" Twilight points to me and Celestia, "Get some counseling, when you're finished we can all continue this summit, all in favor of Thanos and Celestia getting counseling say aye."
"Aye." Literally, everyone in the room said aye.
"Then it's decided, you to get somepony to counsel you until then you guys do whatever you want." She turned to the rest of the leaders and she storms off.
"Oof."
We were in a room, an isolated room and we sat down on chairs, Discord sat behind his desk with glasses on and a notebook with an ink and quill. Celestia had her head turned from me and was crossing her arms, I on the other hand was sitting like a respectful titan of society.
"So... Celestia, I see that you are the most troubled here, so tell me what you think about Thanos." Discord said turning towards Celestia, Celestia snaps her head to Discord.
"He's a big selfish jerk who cares about nopony but himself!" She spouted, I shook my head and Discord winced.
"Oh boy..." I hear him say, "Now what do you think about Celestia." Discord turned towards me.
"What do I think of Celestia... Now I don't think she is a bad pony I just think that she and I don't really fit together." I say as Celestia snaps her head to me wide-eyed and fueled with anger.
"Now that isn't what you said five minutes ago, you said I selfish, now with somepony in front of us you paint me as the bad guy!" She growled, and I shook my finger.
"Ah, ah, ah, I said you were a selfish pony but not are a selfish pony. Get your facts straight, you leave out details to make me the bad guy." She clenched her fist and got from her seat.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Calm down Sunbutt, Thanos can you stop antagonizing her?" Discord got in between us, separating us with his eagle claw and bear paw.
"Fine." We said at the same time, Celestia dropped down to her chair.
"Fatty..." I muttered under my breath.
"What did you say?" Celestia gave me a crazy look.
"I swear to Faust will you two stop?! Okay, okay, okay, where did this all start?" Discord said while rubbing his eyes.
"It started when Celestia demanded me to destroy all evil with the stones!" I snapped.
"Demanded? No, I asked you, and as you said before, get your facts straight." I groaned as I shook my head.
"You know what? Let's focus on the highlights of your relationship." Discord rubbed his temples.
"The highlights? Well, when we first started dating..." Celestia began.
1,600 years ago
I sat there looking at the moonlight, the moon glimmering in the night sky, I was in the Gardens of Two Sisters, I then heard rustling coming from the bushes, I readied the Power Stone and turned towards the bushes. Celestia came out of the bushes and I sighed and the power emanating from the stone faded.
"Dear God you scared me!" I said holding my chest, Celestia giggled.
"Sorry I was late had to sneak past the guard and knock a few out, hehe." She smiled, her smile always vanquishes the darkness hidden in my mind, and with that, I smile too.
"Were they a challenge?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"Oh hardly, they just walk around and patrol, the guard is weak compared to me, compared to you" Her neverending smile remained neverending, Celestia was goofy for a while. Like she was childish when she was with me like she could be herself.
"Well, that's good to hear," I use the Reality Stone and I'm suddenly in a tuxedo and she in a gown. "May I take this dance?" She giggled and put her hand to her mouth surprised.
"You're so full of tricks my purple bean," She called me her purple bean a lot back then and I call her sunny which is hilarious. "Yes, you may."

And with that, we started to waltz in the moonlight it was truly spectacular, no, it was truly beautiful.
Present Time
"I remember we always use to sneak out and waltz together and one time even-" She stopped herself before she could say the words as a deep blush washed over her face and she turned away embarrassed as I laughed.
"Man I don't know what happened to us, we were such a pair." I laughed and she turned around to face me.
"What happened to us is that you were greedy and didn't want to share power!" She snapped and Discord threw his head back and groaned.
"You two go home, we can continue this next week. Get out, now." Discord said not even looking at us, he was just pointing at the door with his eagle claw. We obliged and walked out, we then went out separate ways but Celestia was thinking about something as she walked away.
'What did happen to us?' She thought, who knows what happened? Will they find out what caused their healthy relationship to crumble? Find out on the next exciting episode of Against All Odds!

Thanos POV
I sat there on my throne and dealt with all of the townspeople's problems, fish people destroying ships? Sent Entity. Dragon getting too close to the capital? Lucci and I dealt with that. The dam almost collapsing? Sent Grievous and Sally. I am a good problem solver, one of the best I dare say, but while I might solve everyone's problems I can't solve my own. I felt something tug on my leg, I look down and I saw Golden Shield.
"Hello little one, what do you need?" Golden Shield, she is basically my Gamora and I actually enjoy her company she's adorable.
"Mr. Thanos, can you take me to the park?" She looked up at me and I smiled.
"Well of course little one, let us go to the park." I stood up and clapped my hands, I walked down the steps Golden Shield following me, she was twice the size of your average toddler. Golden Shield is four years old and she is 53 inches, that is pretty tall for a four-year-old. I walked out of the palace with Golden shield in tow, I'm not letting my eyes off of her, that's my inner dad coming out even though I never had children.
A few minutes later we found ourselves at the park let's just say Human parks compared to Minotaur parks are vastly different. The Minotaur park had a combat pit and two boys were fighting in it as a crowd was cheering for them, it was like a little tiny child match with a little tiny audience. Adorable? Yes. Safe? No. I looked on in horror as I saw one of the boys bash the other with his knee and the boy who was hit well, hit the ground.
"This isn't healthy..." I muttered, Golden Shield must've heard me as she turned her head to face me.
"This is what Minotaurs do when they're bored, they look for action." Golden Shield smiled innocently, the kid who bashed the other kid won the match.
"Who's gonna fight the Junior League Champion Iron Fist?!" The kid I now know as Iron Fist said, I looked at Golden Shield with a, "Don't you dare" look in my eyes. She had a smug look on her face, a very smug look.
"I will." Golden Shield put her hands on her hips in a loud and proud way. Iron Fist turned to Golden Shield with a smile on his face.
"Oh, what do we have here? The daughter of the miserable Minotaur who failed to beat the titan?" Iron Fist snarked.
"No, I'm the daughter of the titan who beat the miserable Minotaur." She crossed her arms, my heart skipped a beat, what she said right there means that she thinks of me as a father. Oh. My. God.
"Oh really? Then let's see what the daughter of the titan can do." Golden Shield stepped into the ring with her fists up, Iron Fist did the same.
"We have a new competitor folks, we have the Junior League Champion, Iron Fist vs the daughter of the Mad Titan, Golden Shield!" Now which one is more impressive the title Junior League Champion or daughter of the Mad Titan?
"Three, two, one, let the battle begin!" The kid announcer spoke, as Iron Fist aggressively throws his fist at Golden Shield who blocks the attack, Golden Shield retaliates with a haymaker and she hits much to the surprise of the audience. Iron Fist now enraged to be hit by a girl, he gut-punched her making her skid back, he jumps and Superman punches her. Golden Shield hits the ground and she rolls up back to her feet and she hits the jaw of Iron Fist with a right hoof and then a left hook. She then grabs him by the neck and chokeslams him into the ground and when she let go Iron Fist got up and charged up a wind-up punch. His arm spun and pun around, eventually, his fist caught on fire.
"I think the battle is already over because Iron Fist is using his fire fist technique!" The crowd went wild as he finished his wing up and punched Golden Shield who used her ultimate technique.
"Shield barrier!" A barrier like substance formed and looked like a grid when Iron Fist punched the barrier nothing happened, instead Iron FIst was pushed back and he fell on his butt.
"Wh-what was that?! Tch, no matter." Iron Fist got up and cocked back his fist and shot a flurry of punches at the barrier, every punch sent her way was intense in a matter of seconds her shield was shattered and she was hit by the intense punches. She fell on her back, beaten then Iron FIst stuck his hand out Golden Shield took the hand and she got up.
"That was a good fight, there's a tournament that's going to be held in a few days maybe you should sign up?" Iron Fist offered.
"I'll think about it, thank you for the legendary fight but now I need to go." She turned around and waddled over to me, what she just did was Minotaur magic... Wow.
"Okay, little one let's go get something to eat." We go and walk down the town, I looked around, a bakery, salad restaurant, and a meat restaurant, speaking of which I hadn't eaten since that Manticore. The funny thing about being Thanos one meal can last you up to weeks without hunger coming back to bite you.
"I want a salad!" Golden Shield smiled and to the salad restaurant we went.
Grievous POV
I stood there looking at Lucci, Lucci looked at Entity and Entity looked at me. This battle was going to decide who was stronger...
"Plus four!" I slammed my plus four to the discard pile, Lucci smiled grimly.
"You fool, plus four!" He slammed his plus four to the discard pile we looked to Entity who put down his plus four, I put down another plus four, and Lucci had sweat going down his forehead and slammed another plus four down. Entity sighed.
"Welp..." Entity sighed as we laughed, he then got his twenty cards from the deck. Sally then kicked down the door and Entity mouthed something along the lines of "Help me"
"Entity!" Sally called his name furiously, Entity gulped in fear.
"Y-yes?" He whimpered.
"You were supposed to meet me at the salad restaurant, fifteen minutes ago! Can you explain why you were so late and what was so important you would miss our date?" She asked as a red aura swept the room.
"The boys wanted to play Uno..." She snapped her head to look at us and then looked back at Entity a smile crossed her face.
"Then you'll have to pay up for it..." She grabbed Entity's leg and dragged him, he clawed at the ground trying to get free.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He cried as he latched onto the doorway and with one final tug Entity let go as he was dragged away. We sat in silence.
"Lucky idiot..."
Mission Barely Possible.

I sat in the planning room and looked at the commanders, Commander Sapphire Sword of the Blue Fleet, she controls the warships, Commander Emerald Gauntlet of the Emerald Crushers, he is usually used in head-on battles, Commander Ruby (Her name is just Ruby) of the Ruby Demons she literally has an army of monsters she is also used in head-on battles. Grievous, Lucci, Entity, and I were all in the planning room.
"Alright everyone, we need to rid Sunny of the Power Stone, Equestrians cannot, can. Not. Be trusted with that kind of power so Grievous, Lucci, and Entity will try to find it." I declared, Entity looked at me.
"Do you know where it is?" He asked, "Because I'm not risking life if I don't know where it is."
"It is most likely in the Canterlot Vault where all the treasures and artifacts are held," I said looking at the trio.
"Well, I know the three of us can easily sneak past everyone but what if we get found out? I'm not taking any chances, Sally is a no go because she... Well uh... She isn't very sneaky." Grievous was right, if things went south they would be outnumbered and perhaps even outmatched, then an idea clicked.
"You guys, stay right there I need to get something or rather someone." I run out of the room as fast as I could and reached my room, I searched the drawers and opened a secret compartment and a token appeared, a Devil Fruit token. I held it and raised it high.
"I call upon the Reaper of the Crystal Empire!" I paused for a moment, waiting for Eric to pop up like an advertisement on a website. Then suddenly a dark fiery portal appeared behind me that may look like black fire but emanated something cold, almost immediately Eric lunged at my back with a skull mask and put his scythe around my neck, I manage to glance behind me.
"You require the aid of the Reaper?" I stood there with a blank expression on my face.
"I do," I said nonchalantly immediately he dropped into his shadow and appeared in front of me, his mask now off his face.
"So what do you need Thanos?" He said with a grin resting his scythe on his shoulder.
"Well you see Celestia had two stones the Power Stone and the Mind Stone so I need you and the boys to go get it for me, and before you even ask, do I look like someone who would be able to sneak past nigh five hundred guards?" I said looking into Eric's eyes knowing full well what would happen if I went to Canterlot... In the dark... With a shining red stone.
"Do you really think I can do that? To hide in the Canterlot palace?" I said putting my hands to my chest to emphasize my size.
"Probably not, kinda hard to find a 1200 pound tub of purple-skinned lard." Eric replied jokingly, did he just body shame me again?! I slowly facepalm/rub my eyes.
"Alright follow me," I said opening the door, Eric obliged and followed me closing the door afterward, I open the door to the planning room.
"Eric, meet the boys," I said pointing to the displaced trio.
"If that's what you want to call them, considering one of them is a robot," Eric said looking directly at Grievous when he said it.
"This boy..." Grievous frowned, not that he could but he tried.
"So you're the Devil Fruit user, I'm guessing Shade-Shade Fruit?" Lucci said with an eyebrow raised.
"The one and only" Eric said as a shadow mist came from his body. "Just like Luffy was a Rubber man, I am a Shadow man"
"And just like you're a Shadow man I'm a Leopard man." Lucci smiled.
"Since you have the "Reaper of the Crystal Empire" title, I and the White Reaper." Entity said with a slight bow.
"I am known as the Dragon Slayer of the East." Grievous crossed his arms proudly.
"Well if everyone is doing their titles might as well introduce myself, I am Lucci the Leopard Assassin." Lucci put his hands on his hips.
"I have a feeling you all want to more than just talk with me," Eric said forming a black scythe.
"You would be correct Reaper, I've heard you trained the Crystal Empire guard, and well... I heard you were adept at swordsmanship, and you see... I yearn for sword duels." Grievous said unsheathing his Earth Sword.
"I also hear you have all of the Six Powers, which is rare so I would like to test you in hand to hand combat." Lucci cracked his knuckles.
"I want to see who best wields the scythe, me or you." Entity said before the planning door got kicked down and slammed into Emerald Gauntlet, implanting him into the wall.
"ENTITY!!!!! You can't escape m- oh hello Mr. Shadow." Sally smiled and waved at Eric ever so casually.
"Umm...hi...uh...Sally?" Eric said before he let out a nervous chuckle
"This is what usually happens when we're all bunched together we always do this to each other," I said turning to my gang.
"Oh we should probably get back to the point, we're doing a sneaking operation called Mission Barely Possible." Grievous pointed out.
"It's gonna be tough and there is a seventy-five percent chance that we're not going to be caught." Entity calculated in his head, Lucci had a dangerous smile on his face.
"I like those odds." Lucci laughed, Lucci was always the dangerous type.
"You've actually had more of eighty to eighty-five percent with someone who literally moves through any shadow," Eric said with great confidence.
"Okay, we have five hours until nightfall, the plan is that you, Eric use your Shade-Shade Fruit knock out a few guards, do it silently, the vault is deep underground so Grievous would have to dig-" I began, but was cut off by Grievous.
"But why me?" Grievous asked.
"Because you have the Earth Sword," I said like it was obvious, which it was.
"Entity and Lucci kill the guards in the area, and with this," I pull out a glass box." Eric will put the Power Stone in it."
"Fine, I can silence them by trapping them inside their own Shadow," Eric said putting the glass box in his shadow body. "If you want, I can get everybody and bring us to a certain spot. However it must within three hundred miles from the castle, that's as far as I can Shadow Jump with causing damage to my body"
"Alright if you want to spar with the boys then be my guest, I, however, am going to send you guys out so uh... Bye now." I say pointing to the door, Grievous, and the boys' walkout.
"Bring it," Eric says expertly spinning his scythe around his body, as Eric walks out Grievous crossed his arms.
"So, who're you going to pick? The master of the blade, the combat king, or the scythe wielder?" Grievous inquired.
"How's about Scythe against Scythe," Eric said pointing his scythe at Entity, Entity grinned.
"To the arena!" Entity grabbed Eric by the hand and leaped through the roof.
"Is he going to Brazil?" Grievous turned to Lucci.
"Probably."
Entity POV
We landed smack dab in the arena, the arena is closed today so no one was here.
"When you're ready," Eric said putting his skull mask on and gripping his weapon with both hands. I did a backflip and landed ten feet before Eric, he summoned his scythe.
"Let us begin, shall we?" Almost immediately I lunged at Eric, my blood-red scythe covered in Armament Haki, I slammed my scythe down upon him. Eric sees my scythe cut through his and immediately drops into his shadow before resurfacing behind me delivering a spin kick to the back of my head with his leg completely covered with Armament Haki, I scowled and threw my scythe at Eric. Which phases right through his body, because Armament Haki only works on Held weapons and Items, I completely forgot about that!
"Logia type, rookie mistake," Eric says firing fists of shadow from his body hitting me and knocking me back, I frown and I shot a red beam at him, then I appear behind him using the shave technique, fist covered in Armament Haki, I slam my fist into him. Using Iron Body Eric braces himself for the strike he senses with Observation Haki, I looked slightly surprised, Dropping into his Shadow, Eric appears a few feet away before reaching into his body and pulls out an ivory white poll
"Just so you know I only use this on my stronger opponents, You should feel honored," Eric said pulling the weapon completely out revealing his Murakumogiri before covering it with Armament Haki.
"Well, you should be the one who should be honored, because what I'm about to do to you... Is going to rock your world!" I laughed as a red aura enveloped me, my eyes quickly turned crimson and my scythe grew in size.
"You see this form increases my strength, speed, durability, dexterity, and constitution to levels way past normal! Now... Get ready..." I smiled as I covered my arms, my legs, and my scythe in Armament Haki. In a flashy instant, I appeared before Eric and slammed my scythe into him. Eric dropped into his shadow and resurfaced at the other end of the arena
Moving quickly Eric blocks my strike before wrapping his body in the surrounding shadows increasing his size, now matching the titan's height his eyes shifting from ocean blue to blood red with the whites of his eyes turning black with black veins forming.
"I must say it has been quite a while since someone has forced me to push this far, normally I have to hold back. But this....this is absolutely exciting and I'm not even at full strength" Eric laughed.
"I agree Von Shadow, but I think I already won." The ground started to shake as twin fire dragons erupt from the dragons looking exactly like Chinese dragons but red they twirl around each other and are now fifty feet into the air, I slam the end on my scythe on the ground.
"Infernal Drake Attack!" The two dragons dive down and opened their mouths wide and were ready to take a huge bite out of Eric
"You want a battle of Dragons than let's get it on" Eric said slamming his hand to the ground
Shadow pours from his body and into the ground creating a huge puddle of shadow. From that puddle two massive sets of bat wings emerged followed by a large dragon head, then the body, and lastly the spiked tail
"Dark Shadow Dragons!" Eric shouted jumping up and standing on top of one of the dragon's heads "How's your aerial combat boy?
Eric shadow dragons take flight, I smile.
"Better than yours!" Fire shot out of my legs and I shot up into the sky, my scythe takes form into armor, fire dragon armor with a fire dragon head on my well, head. I then summoned an infernal scythe that is a crimson as blood.
"Prepare to get wrecked pal!" I laughed.
"Bring it little man" Eric said as one of the dragons flew right at me, I smiled as the fire dragons rammed itself into the dragon coming my way, I the moonwalk in the air and I point to the shadow dragon who has not attacked yet and the other fire dragon flew at the shadow dragon. Then a gauntlet of literal fire appeared on my right hand and I pointed it at Eric a huge wave of fire shot itself at Eric.
Eric did nothing and let the flames pass harmlessly through him as the shadow repaired the hole. Smiling Eric aimed his hand at me and grabbed hold of me with a large shadow hand, grinning wider Eric Slams me to the ground with such force it left a crater, however, the shadow never left my body as it formed chains around his body pinning me to the ground. Before I had the chance to move Eric was on top of him with the tip of his blade digging into my chin
"Yield?"
"Do you?" I pointed behind him as an injured shadow dragon got sent hurling our way and the dragon who threw the shadow dragon to us did a front flip and slammed his tail on me and Eric. Eric's body exploded on contact with the tail splash shadow all over me, however instead of reforming it continued to cover my body until there was not a single trace of my body. The body began to change shape turning into Eric
"I never Yield in battle, I always win," Eric said looking towards Thanos for the verdict of his victor, Thanos stood there crossing his arms, a slight smile on his face. He clapped, slowly, very, very, slowly.
"Congratulations, you beat level one, now who do you want to face next? Grievous? Lucci? The dog that I found on the street?" There was a literal dog next to Thanos.
Eric reached into his body and pulled out me by the head, I gasped at the source of air filling my lungs. Dropping me Eric turned to his other two challengers
Thanos POV
"Well I don't want you going John Wick on me so I'll take the rustbucket," Eric said putting his Murakumogiri back into his body before forming two swords of shadow, Grievous glared down at Eric, saying no words as he dropped down to the arena, his massive form shaking the arena as a whole. He then sheds his cape and stands tall, he brings out is Water Sword and his Earth Sword. Blades all over his body show, Grievous's mechanical body hummed.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUS8YwLPlrY
"Think you can handle me rustbucket?" Eric grinned, Grievous said no words as he put his Earth Sword in his sheath and shuffled his Water Sword to his left hand, he lunged at Eric his right hand covered in Armament Haki, Grievous grabbed Eric by the neck, wires quickly pop out of Grievous' right hand and wrapped themselves around Eric, also covered in Armament Haki, it started to electrocute Eric. Grievous slammed Eric into the ground, Grievous raised his Water Sword high, preparing a Water Slash. Despite the electricity surging through his body Eric still managed to turn his arm into shadow before plunging it into Grievous chest and gripping his lung. Grievous stood there unfazed that his lungs were held, Grievous used the Shave technique and was on the other side of the arena. Grievous dug a hole using the Earth Sword and he was now beneath Eric's feet. Then Grievous made holes appear all over the place by jumping out of the holes and digging back down. Then things went still, Eric didn't see Grievous but he did see water burst from the holes, like giant geysers.
"Clever" Eric said before grinning "It would seem Grievous is nothing but a heartless coward" Behind Eric stood Grievous, the "geysers" begin to fade and the water-filled the arena floor all the way to knee level. Without warning a massive fist came from Eric's back and slammed into Grievous with such a force he is knocked into the wall of the arena, before Grievous could recover Eric uses the Shave Technique to appear in front and bind his arms, legs, chest, and hands in shadow. Grievous looked at Eric in the eyes before easily breaking out of the shadows, Grievous took out a mysterious sword from his leg.
"You underestimate me, Shadow man, I am not like Entity who would so easily be succumbed by shadow, so prepare things are going to get... Shocking." And with that Grievous rocketed into the air, his extra arms grabbing his Earth and Air Sword, and the extra arms spun the swords like helicopter blades Grievous raised the mysterious sword high.
"ZEUS' THUNDERBOLT!!!!" Grievous roared as a cloud formed overhead and he pointed the mysterious sword to the water. A giant lightning bolt slammed itself into the water.
Eric screamed before falling to the ground, steam curling off his body. Smiling Grievous stood proud over the shadow man until something grabbed and threw him across the arena. Looking up Grievous was met with a perfect shadow copy.
"Pitiful aren't you, you claim to be so strong and yet you still couldn't save you friends from Celestia" the shadow said drawing four shadow swords resembling his elemental sword and his mysterious sword. Grievous leaped at the shadow and quickly putting his swords back in his sheath he decided to pummel the Shadow with his fists. Armament Haki covering his fists, he starts to pummel the Shadow in rapid succession. Obviously angry, he was the strongest and he will stay the strongest. During his rage, he failed to notice Eric appeared behind him with a sword of shadow in his hand
"I win," Eric says stabbing Grievous through his chest before spreading his shadow throughout every inch of the robots inside locking his body in place. "A warrior must always keep a level head in battle, I learned that facing Cold Scale"
"Good fight, if I had my Fire Sword things might've ended differently. I would put it right there in that sheath" He pointed to a sheath with a fire symbol, "IF I HAD IT!!!!!!!!!!" Grievous practically screamed. Removing the blade from the robot I return his shadow and help him back to the group watching the fight before looking towards Lucci.
"So I'm going to take a guess you're stronger than the other two?" Asked Eric, Lucci stood there with a smile.
"Perhaps, if I and Entity fought I would come out on top, if I and Grievous had all of his swords fought me then it would be a close one. But that isn't what you're asking, is it? Yes, yes I'm stronger than both of them." Lucci crossed his arms.
"Well then Thanos can you use your Reality Stone to make turn it into a full moons night within the arena, I want to go all out with Lucci," Eric said smiling under his mask
"Wait you were holding back?" Asked Entity.
"Of course, if I went all out I'd kill both of you, but if this Lucci is anything like the one from the show then I'll need to go all out" Eric turned towards the two, I groaned, I would have to somehow convince the townspeople about this situation.
"Wait, the best I can do is this," I said before clenching my gauntlet fist and a dome loomed over the arena and it looked exactly like the night sky with a full moon. Grievous left the arena and Lucci used the Shave technique and appeared on the watery surface.
"Perfect, and with his night vision he won't be at a disadvantage," Eric said dropping both him and Lucci into the ring ten feet apart
"So no weapons? Purely hand to hand?" Asked Eric, Lucci stood firm.
"Indeed, weapons are cheap, why use weapon forged by our hands when our body is a weapon?" Lucci said cracking his neck.
"Sounds good," Eric said his eyes taking on its red and black hue through the eyes of his mask
Immediately Eric charged the leopard man using the Shave Technique before using his whole hand to use a five-pointed Finger Pistol towards his stomach, immediately Lucci hardened himself with Iron Body. The attack hits Lucci but does not faze him for he has practiced the Six Powers enough to be hit by a giant dragon and not be hurt this feat had been shown when he fought the dragon six months ago. Lucci covered his arms and legs in Armament Haki as he punched Eric in the face so hard he is sent hurling to the arena wall. Eric gets up from the wall with no trouble before looking towards Lucci
"You're holding back, I'm not your run of the mill opponent you can just one hit, indulge me and use that Devil Fruit of yours and take me on at full force," Eric said shadow forming around his body, Lucci groaned.
"No, this is not how you're supposed to play the game, you're supposed to start small then big. But fine, I'll use my Devil Fruit." Lucci shook his head as he turned into his Hybrid Form, "Prepare to get yo flank beat." Using the Shave Technique he appears before Eric, grabs his head, slams said head onto the ground, and runs across the arena and throws him into the air and uses moonwalk to follow him in the and axe kicks Eric down back to the arena. All the while Eric was laughing as blood dripping over his mask
"Finally someone who I can go all out will" Eric said getting up before disappearing from Lucci's eye
Gazing around the leopard man saw no sign of the shadow man until he looked down and saw a large fist. The fist contacted the leopard man's chin and sent him up Eric was seen spinning as he shouted Shoryuken before grabbing his ankle and slamming him into the arena floor
"C-C-C-COMBO!!" Eric yelled backing away keeping his speed using the Shave Technique. Lucci grinned ear to ear, Lucci appeared before him faster than anyone of the displaced humans Eric fought today. He then jumped up and threw an uppercut to his chin.
"SHORYUKEN!!!!!" Lucci kicked him away then appeared behind Eric and kicked him back to where he was kicked, Lucci appeared before him again and kicked him, Eric was being ping-ponged left and right and was backflip kicked into the air. Eric then formed two pair of wings and hovered in the air as he gazed at the leopard man
"Lucci I must say this is the most fun I've had in battle since before Sombra became king," Eric said as his wings flap.
"Yeah, I have one question for you," Lucci said crossing his arms.
"And what's that?" Eric asked, curious to what Lucci's question was.
"If you could go back to Earth, would you?" Lucci asked, oof, that hit hard, If I could go back home I would. I really would.
"No even if I could all my friends and family would be dead, I was banished to the shadows along with Sombra and the Crystal Empire, my earth was 1000 years ago, this is my home whether I like it or not" Eric... Oof... just oof... Entity then contemplated about life.
"That sucks, but at least you have a wi- uh... Um... This is awkward. I'm going to smash your face now." Lucci using his Kamisori technique he appeared before Eric. He did what he said he was going to do and smashed his face with his Iron Body fist. Eric plummeted to the ground kicked up a lot of dust and debris however before Lucci could even hit the ground a large skeleton and grabbed hold of his entire body from the dust a giant body began to rise. It looked just like the folklore and legends depicted. A large cloak made from darkness a scythe as dark as night a face of bone. The Grimm Reaper.
"You should have never brought her up" Eric's voice rang from the Reaper
The reaper slammed Lucci into the ground before hurling him across the arena. Another reaper form and caught the leopard before slamming him into the wall repeatedly and throwing him back to Eric's reaper. Raising a fist Eric punched Lucci into the ground with such force massive cracks formed not only on the ground but on the arena walls as well.
"Welp... It... It would seem that I would have to take this seriously." Lucci grunted, he looked at me. "Thanos hit it!"
"You got it homie." The Reality Stone lit up.

The music came from everywhere, and Lucci grinned. Lucci appeared before Eric's Reaper he slammed his fist into the Reaper. Lucci used the Shave technique to go over the other one and did a front flip kick and kicked the other Reaper down. Though Lucci's attack did damage to Eric's Shadow Reapers, the damage they sustained was repaired instantly, slowly two more formed and surrounded Lucci
"You won't win Lucci, this is my strongest creation so long as I've got shadows to repair it they won't be put down," Eric said as the reapers began circling Lucci like the purple ghost from Ocarina of Time.
"Then all I have to do is hit them fast enough that your shadows won't repair them!" Lucci puts up his right leg and spun and spun and spun around until eventually, his Armament Haki covered leg caught on fire. He jumped at the nearest one which was the two in front of him. He kicked one in the face, he kicked off that one and onto the other and slammed his fist into the other. Then appeared back to the other on and kicked it again, he repeated the process in under two seconds. Eventually, due to him ping-ponging off of them with great speed, his attacks grew stronger and he starts tearing through the Reapers like a wild animal, he bounced off to the that was nearest to the arena wall and tore it from head to toe and went onto Eric's Reaper. He appeared next to Eric's Reaper left rib and shouted.
"ROKUOGAN!!!" After using that Rokuogan he appeared to its right shoulder and pulled off another one. Then it's back, legs, chest, and finally, it's head. With a final Rokuogan, Eric was thrown from his reaper and launched into the wall, immediately Lucci was right on top of him and put his foot close to Eric's neck
"Hey Lucci, even seen Jojo?" Eric said confusing Lucci before launching a tendril into his chest and wrapping around the leopard man's heart
Shocked, Lucci looked at the man not breaking his stance
"Draw?" Eric said removing his mask before extending a hand
"Draw," Lucci said snuffing out the fires on his leg and returning to normal as he took his hand and helped Eric to his feet. I stood tall, I watched the whole situation take place.
"All of you rest up, you still have four hours-ish to get back your stamina then it's Mission Barely Impossible time." I smiled.
"That is the dumbest name I have ever heard," Eric said with a deadpanned look on his face.
"Look at your name is that even better than "Mission Barely Possible"? I'll answer for you, no." I snapped.
"Touché'" Eric said shadow jumping next to me.
"Alright no seriously get some re-" I was interrupted by a tug in the leg area of his armor. I smiled and looked down, Golden Shield was there, she pointed to Eric.
"Dad, what is that weirdo doing here?" She asked, I immediately busted out laughing, putting my hand on my face as I laugh in hysterics.
"He's gonna stay for the night sweetheart." I look downwards and shook my head.
"Something tells me you didn't sleep with what I'm assuming is a minotaur so I take it she's your Gamora?" Eric deciphered.
"You would be correct." Thanos nodded, Grievous walked beside me, Lucci and Entity did so as well.
"If you don't mind me I'm gonna repair myself." Grievous walked off, Lucci and Entity yawned, which caused me to yawn which caused Golden Shield to yawn.
"I'm going to take a nap," Lucci announced.
"Same." Entity and Lucci walked off too.
"So what are you going to do?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Probably find somewhere to rest as well," Eric said stretching feeling his bones crackling like fireworks.
"Okay then, meet me at the airship at midnight." I walked off with a grin on my face, tonight was probably going to spark a war.
Third Person POV
Thanos had just dropped them off on top of Mt. Canter it was freezing up there but the group was unaffected by the cold, Grievous walked to the edge and looked down. There was Canterlot.
"Alright, are you guys ready?" Grievous asked turning to the boys.
"So the stone is in the vault, and you will provide an escape route with everyone else provides the distraction?" Asked the shadow man before turning to General Grievous. "Are you positive Celestia won't see this strategy coming? I mean wasn't Celestia and Thanos married to one another?"
"She won't see it coming, she is having an existential crisis. Just look." He hands over a pair of enhanced binoculars and Eric sees Celestia crying in hysterics in her room.
"Jesus who died?" Eric asked removing the binoculars.
"Her hopes and dreams, now let's go, yeet!" Grievous proceeds to jump off the mountain. Lucci and Entity race to the edge with a look of horror on his face. They then look to Eric.
"What?" Eric looked a both of them.
"Did you... Did you see what he did?" Entity wore a face of worry, Lucci sighed and front flipped off the edge.
"No," Eric said blankly.
"Ride until you die!" Entity cried out as he rockets himself down to the castle with fire coming from his feet.
"I don't follow," Eric said forming a shadow bird to carry himself he caught up to Lucci who was using Geppo to boost himself to the ground, Entity was using to fire to boost him to the ground and Grievous was just falling. They landed on the room tops, at the last second Grievous used his air sword to stop himself from impacting the roof and landed gracefully the others follow in his graceful footsteps.
"Okay so let's review the plan over, I dig a hole to the vault, Lucci and Entity kill the other guards in the area, and Eric, you put the Power Stone in the glass case then I dig another hole to the south side. Got it?" Grievous said turning to all of them, Lucci, Entity, and Eric all nodded.
"Then let's get to work!" Grievous said in a loud whisper running to the edge of the rooftop, jumping off, and burrowing underground. The others land near the hole and Lucci looks to Eric.
"Stay. Do. Not. Move." Lucci put the emphasis on the move and ran off Entity vanished from sight, Eric just stood there next to the hole.
"They do realize I can get in the vault and out before anyone would know I was there," Eric said matter of factly before melting into shadow before reappearing inside the vault right as Grievous finishes his hole
"Like I said I can jump from any shadow within a 300-mile radius and a vault is filled with nothing but shadows and riches," Eric said crossing his arms.
"Ah, I see, now the stone is right over-" Grievous looked over to Celestia standing right there with the Mind Stone around her necklace and Luna with the Power Stone around her horn.
"Sup Celestia just wanted to say hi. Eric let's go." Grievous turns around but a streak of literal light hits him in the back, and Grievous was suddenly sucked into Luna's grip.
"I hate life." Grievous grumbled.
"And none of you told me she had the Mind Stone because?..." Eric said lifting his hands in the surrender fashion.
"We're idiots! I'm guessing Glint-Glint Fruit and Dark Dark Fruit" Grievous turned his head to Luna.
"You would be right Grievous," Luna answered.
"Yeah uh... Beam me up, Scotty!" Grievous cried out.
Immediately Eric dropped into his shadow before pulling Celestia into hers. Eric resurfaced where Celestia stood and glared at the lunar princess
"Let the rust bucket go, Luna, I'd rather not kill you nor your sister," Eric said Shadow mist pouring from his body
"You're of the human race, how? They were wiped out during the war!" Luna said with a shocked expression.
"Your sister is running out of air let the robot go, Luna," Eric said hoping the princess would listen, Grievous covered his elbow in Armament Haki and elbowed her gut making her drop to her knees.
"RUN ERIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Grievous said crawling up the hole he dug. Reaching into his body he pulls out the case and grabs the stone before he is pulled by Luna's Dark-Dark
"Give her back!" Luna yelled slugging Eric in the face
"Kill me and she dies with me." Eric laughed before swiping the Power Stone off her horn before she could notice, he stored the stone in his body and made his way to the hole before turning back to the princess
Reaching into his body he hastily yanks, Celestia, from his body, the princess inhaling sharply before Eric throws her at Luna
"Oh, and princess," Eric said holding a yellow stone necklace between his fingers causing Celestia to feel her chest noticing the lack of jewelry. "Thanks for the stone" Eric said turning to shadow a hastily moving through the tunnel
Forming a large blade on his elbow Eric shreds the top causing the tunnel roof to become unstable and collapse. Once out he grins and shows Grievous the mind stone
"Fortune favors the bold, my friend," Eric said smiling as he put the stone in his body.
"The bold also has someone doing this." Grievous turned to his left and saw a weird figure he looked... Robotic but not like a robot if that is the word for it before Eric could register Eric was kicked across the face by a mummified Armament Haki kick, and it wasn't from any one of the displaced. Eric sprang to his feet and immediately return to Grievous' side
"Should we rendezvous with the other after all we got what we came for." Eric said as Grievous glances at the shadow man.
"Uh, uh, uh..." The mummified robot put his fingers together and immediately Eric was thrown back as multiple fists and footmarks were shown on his body. Grievous was also thrown back also injured.
"Okay, I did not see him hit us, did you?" Grievous looked at Eric.
"No...now go," Eric says pulling the stones into his hand and shoving them into the General's chest before dropping him into his shadow and throwing him back atop the mountain
Getting up Eric looks at the robot as shadow swirls around his feet
"So mind telling me who or what. You are?" Asked Eric claws forming over his arms.
"I am Noximilien, and I serve under Celestia's rule." Nox said before suddenly appearing behind Eric, Eric getting punched multiple times in the gut and a slash mark appeared on Eric's leg putting him down to a knee.
"You see Eric I know you, I know Thanos, I've been watching all of you. And I must say I'm rather impressed, if it had not been for me you might've gotten scot-free with the Power Stone and we can't have that, can we?" Nox mused before disappearing and reappearing in front of Eric. Eric once again had been damaged, but the damage had been more intense, there was a bit of blood dropping from Eric's finger.
"You underestimate my power robot boy," Eric said as shadow spikes erupt from every inch of his body, Nox laughed, his laugh was suppressed insane laughter.
"Then by all means, as the kids say it these days, come at me, bro." Nox taunted. Eric quickly formed his Shadow Reaper around his body and made sure to use every shadow he could get his powers on, raising his scythe Eric brings it down on Nox. When he did he saw nothing underneath, instead, he faced a mysterious blast to the face which was not magic or a Devil Fruit. The blast was extremely powerful throwing him inside the palace, now in the hallway. Nox is right in front of Eric and Eric finally seeing Nox attack, gets kicked in the forehead sending him through several walls and into the Throne Room which Nox follows. Without hesitation, Eric makes a hasty withdrawal and drops into the shadow before surfacing where Lucci and Entity were.
"Guys we've got a problem," Eric said with a slight, very slight panic in his voice. Then suddenly a large clock-like sword went up to their necks.
"Oh, we certainly do... Now I want you to surrender, or else..." He inched the massive sword close to the duo's neck.
"Don't kill them" Eric said slowly forming a Shadow tendril behind Nox, Nox scoffed.
"Oh you wouldn't dare, after all, how would Thanos feel if you let his two friends die? Surrender to me and maybe we can work something out, Princess Celestia is a reasonable mare." Nox laughed again, his crazy laughter echoing across Canterlot. His laughter angered Eric to no end, reaching into his body Eric pulled out his signature Murakumogiri and covered it in Armament Haki. Then he stopped time, and while time was stopped he stabbed Entity in the back and through his ribs, pushed Lucci towards Eric, pushed Eric's Murakumogiri to Lucci's chest thus giving it motion which will stab through Lucci like a piece of butter. He then continues time, Entity gasped as he dropped to his knees and Lucci scowled in pain as he saw the blade inside of him. Nox clapped and laughed, leaning onto Entity, Entity's normal red eyes turning a darker red.
"Well, well, well, look what we have here three idiots trying to beat a genius? Tsk, tsk, tsk, you monkeys should learn why you shouldn't mess with your superior..." Nox shoved his sword deeper into Entity who let out a scream in agony, as he kept shoving it in his laughter grew more insane and louder.
"No, Stop!!!" Eric yelled a wave spreading from the shadow man causing Nox to freeze and Lucci and Entity to stagger. Nox let go of his sword and fell on his back, Entity fell on all fours, the sword stills stuck in him, Lucci stumbled back a bit, forcing himself out of the blade, and raced to Entity's side. He pulled him to his feet and put his arm over his shoulder.
"We need to get Grievous!" Lucci said looking around, they were in the streets of Canterlot, guards racing towards them but then suddenly they heard a crash behind them they turn around and they see Grievous, broken and shattered. His extra arms ripped off, his body dented greatly, his cape ripped, three of his right fingers gone and one finger on the left gone as well and a huge hole in his chest but it wasn't through his body. With a flash of light, Celestia stood tall over Grievous.
A few minutes earlier...
Grievous stood on top of Mt. Canter, stones in touch, Grievous looked at the stones curiously. He knows full well what these stones could do. He fondled with them, the Power Stone in a glass case and the Mind Stone with nothing attached to it.
"So, peculiar..." Grievous looked at the stones, there was a whisper.
Keep the stones...
"Wh-what?" Grievous looked around trying to locate where the voice was coming from.
Leave them behind, you don't need them, they don't need you.
"No! I'm loyal to my friends!" Grievous blurted but the exact instant he said that he was kicked in the face with a yellow leg. Grievous was sent hurling, Grievous stopped himself from getting thrown back further and dug his swords to stop himself. He looked up and saw Celestia, she wore a serious face and she was angry.
"Ah, Celestia... It all comes full circle." Grievous got up to his feet bringing out all of his swords including the LIghtning one.
"Stand down and surrender, I do not have time to deal with you." Celestia said while summoning a sword of light, Grievous "glared" and put the stones in a storage compartment in his chest, he got out his extra arms, his extra arms holding the Earth and Air Sword. In a flash of light, Grievous couldn't tell if it was magic or the Devil Fruit. Grievous, covering his blade in (very strong) Armament Haki. When their blades clashed the snow around them was blasted away by the impact. Grievous tried his best to keep up with Celestia's attacks, her sword of light was dangerous if he even gets hit by it even once he's done. Grievous, despite his four arms, was narrowly blocking her attacks as he was getting pushed back then Celestia had a bright idea (I have achieved comedy.) She then spun around and cut Grievous' extra arms off, his weapons dropped to the ground, Grievous scowled and rolled to put the fallen weapons back into their respective sheathes. He succeeds but gets kicked by a light kick, Grievous is sent flying into the air and behind him, Celestia teleported herself and held out all of her fingers and zing! Ten light beams pierce Grievous, some even miss and go through his cape, tearing it. Grievous falls to the ground but before he could even hit the rocky surface gets hit by a fleet of fists sent his way, each fist sent his way made dents in his armor, ever punch felt like getting hit by a cannonballs' and if you're wondering how many times he got hit... It was over one thousand in one minute. Grievous finally hit the ground, Grievous rolled to his feet and shot lightning bolts at Celestia, but is lightning faster than light?
(Yes because it is the speed of light but she is literally light and she has really good observation Haki, oh wait I should get back to the story because you probably just want the action which kinda cruel because Grievous is getting his flank beat in. Why would you want to watch that?)
Celestia shot an uppercut to Grievous's chin and Grievous was shot into the air yet again.
"Why am I always in the air? WHY DO THESE THINGS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME?!!??!?!?" Grievous shouted.
"Glint Glint, Rush!" A flash of light appeared and Grievous was hit, another flash, and Grievous was hit yet again. Ever flash was a hit on Grievous and Celestia went wild. Celestia then slammed her heel onto Grievous and he was sent to the mountain surface again.
"You know, I'm getting tired of your crap, anyway, unrelated question at all but do you like men or stallions?" Grievous said on all fours.
"I do not like men because they're rude, they're disgusting, and they-" Grievous cut off Celestia.
"But Princess Celestia, wouldn't that make you GAY?!?!??!?!?!?!?" Grievous accused when he said "Gay" it echoed across the land, Celestia went silent and shadows formed over her eyes. Her hair proceeds to ignite.
"Why can't I keep my mouth shut, but wait I don't have a mouth, YOHOHOHOHOHO!!!" Grievous laughed, as a fist slammed itself into Grievous' chest, Celestia rips out the Power Stone and the Mind Stone. Grievous gasped and fell limp, she then kicks him into the air and shoots a powerful beam at Grievous that launched him to Canterlot.
Taking his Murakumogiri Eric severs Nox's head and stores the body in his shadow, before turning to Celestia
"You lackey is dead Celestia and you can't beat all three of us yourself," Eric said point his weapon at the princess, she raised an eyebrow.
"Three? Myself? Are you blind?" Behind Eric loomed Luna with a mini Dark Sphere in her hand, Eric then turned to the nearly unconscious Entity and the injured Lucci. Their chances were zero to none, they couldn't beat them and even if Eric teleported away Celestia would simply find him anyway. But then a giant flaming fist collided with Celestia's head and her head was smashed against the ground, Thanos and the three commanders arrived with other troops. Warships were over their head with tons of men pouring out. Ruby and Sapphire Sword picked up Grievous and Entity and ran out of there, Emerald Gauntlet had his Battle Axe at the ready.
"Sup Sunny." Immediately Celestia roared and lunged at Thanos taking the battle elsewhere. Lucci got up and went into his Hybrid Form, Emerald Gauntlet crackling his knuckles and an emerald aura surrounded him. Eric turned to Luna shadow coming from his being
"It isn't wise to fight me Luna" Eric warned as he and Luna circled each other like a pair of wolves
Luna said nothing as she extended her hand pulling Eric towards her, seeing this coming Eric thrust his weapon and sliced her shoulder. Luna howled in agony as she clenched her bleeding shoulder
"That's the stark difference between us, you may be a logia type but you still have a physical body and take double the pain," Eric Said grabbing the princesses hair and knee her in the face, tossing her to the ground Eric plants his Haki covered boot on her back before reaching into his body pulling out a small blade. Grabbing the princess by her nape Eric plunges the dagger in between her wings causing her to scream bloody murder as she tried to use her Devil Fruit
"Sorry but the blade is made out of Sea Prism Stone, you won't be able to control your Devil Fruit," Eric said as several shadow tendrils wrap around different parts of Luna's body.
Eric lifts Luna off the ground before calling her sister's name
"Celestia!!!" And just like that, they saw Thanos sent hurling past them and Celestia using her ultimate technique on the Shade-Shade user.
"Glint Glint: Ama no Iwato!" She shot a giant yellow light blast at Eric, Emerald Gauntlet jumped in front of Eric and created an emerald barrier which shattered instantly on impact at the blast. But luckily only Eric's shoulder was hit causing a searing pain, without missing a beat Eric breaks Luna's right forearm causing her to scream even louder, Celestia stopped causing Thanos to jump out of the place he was sent flying into and he grabbed the back of her head and slammed her with Haki. Luna and Celestia were pinned, it was an all-out battlefield, Minotaurs running at Ponies... It was the beginning of a War. Thanos saw two bright stones hidden in her... Ahem... Top area.
"There comes a time where every man must do what he must. This is that time, Eric if I don't survive... tell your ponies I said buck you!" He closed his eyes, hand covered in Haki, and did the deed, only getting the Power Stone. He then got up and ran.
"BUCKING RUN ERIC!!!!!!!!!!!" Thanos cried the Minotaurs, Lucci and Emerald Gauntlet ran away to the Warships. Eric threw the lunar princess through the castle walls before following Thanos
"What about the Mind Stone? Asked Eric preparing to Shadow Jump everyone to the ship.
"Due to political and being a King, I shouldn't be allowed to have three stones, I also want to give them a chance," Thanos said as he ran, he then put the Power Stone in his gauntlet and turned around, and shot a powerful blast. Destroying one half of Canterlot causing half of it to be littered with purple fire.
"That's a lot of damage." Thanos smiled.
"Was that really necessary?" Eric turned to Thanos as he walked up the stairs he made casually like he didn't destroy half of Canterlot and didn't kill a lot of ponies.
"Yes, they aren't chasing us are they?" He says looking back to Celestia who was on her knees injured and bloodied, she glared up to Thanos but said nothing. Royal Guards were dead everywhere, Luna was gravely injured, houses were burnt and destroyed.
"Let's just get out of here," Eric said pulling everyone into their shadows and Shadow Jumping to the warship. Once Eric brought them to the ship Thanos looked down at Canterlot, Thanos did feel sorry and guilty but alas, that is hi pity speaking.
Thanos POV
We were in the throne room, Eric standing before me, I was on my throne Lucci and Sally were side by side with each other. No Minotaur was here, it was just us.
"Eric Von Shadow, you have done a great service to us, getting me the Power Stone and protecting my allies, though two of them is gravely injured you tried your best." I shrugged, "Eric, I give you the honor of calling Lucci and Sally whenever you need assistance."
Lucci and Sally tossed Eric their Tokens, Lucci threw a Vivre Card and Sally threw a snowglobe that showed Sally snuggling Entity. Eric caught the tokens and stored them in his shadows.
"And to pay the debt from last time, since you gave me the Netsu-Netsu No Mi, I shall give you... The Infinity Sword!" Sapphire Sword walks in with the Infinity Stone, it looked like the Infinity Blade but it's just a broadsword. Sapphire Sword kneeled and held up the Infinity Sword to Eric. Taking the sword in hand Eric examines the weapon before speaking
"This is a fine blade, but I have to say Obsidian Blood is more familiar to me," Eric said wrapping the blade in shadow before putting it to his waist.
"And to send you off with a zinger, we three have messages to your allies aka the ponies. Tell Rainbow Dash if I had the ability to teleport to her myself, I would beat her flank. Lucci and Sally have messages as well." I said leaning back on my throne.
"Tell Fluttershy that I said she is an adorable beast," Lucci said with a smile.
"Can you tell Rarity, I like your cut G and slap her neck for me? Thanks." Sally was grinning ear to ear and rubbed her hands together like a villain.
"I'll be sure to tell them" Eric lied, he still wasn't ready to return to the ponies after the battle with Cold Scale. I walked down my throne and walked up to Eric, I put a hand on his shoulder.
"While Grievous was fighting you, you mentioned something about someone called... Mold Dale? Gold Mail? Bah, whatever, but I know something is up. I don't see you as the angry type, did this man do something to you?" I inquired, I think of Eric as a comrade now, not only did he saved my friends he also defeated/beheaded a potential threat.
"He used the power of his Shadow-Shadow Fruit and reanimated my Wife. She was about to kill the princesses and the main 6 and I was forced to kill my own wife." Eric said gritting his teeth trying to hold back his tears. "Could you seriously not be infuriated by having to rekill your own wife"
The shadows on his body were more pronounced as well as the red in his eyes.
"I remember when I had to... When I had to kill a friend due to a misunderstanding... Platinum Dusk, the only outsider of our group. There was a changeling mind-controlling her sister and... I killed her sister because she was going to kill Sally. We kept it a secret but when she found out... I had to force my hand and blast her to smithereens. I cannot sympathize with you, you lost your wife once then had to kill her... I just had to kill my friend..." Thanos took his hand off of Eric's shoulder and shook his head. Lucci And Sally lowered their head to pay respects.
"F.," Me and my group said at the same time.
"We're all fucked up aren't we?" Asked the shadow man
"Physically and Mentally," Grievous said walking in with a limp, Entity was bandaged up and Grievous was standing but was disfigured.
"Well, we completed this mission what say we party?" Eric said reaching into his body and pulling out a black violin. "I can supply the music."
"Bet I can supply it better." Sally suddenly had a violin that appeared from nowhere.
Dear God, can she break reality?
"I can also break the fourth wall, hi Chill Author!" Sally waved to the heavens.
Why do I have a fourth wall breaker? When did I have a fourth wall breaker?
"Now," Sally responded, I stood there looking at Sally, Eric stood there blank.
"Aight, party time!"
We stood there in the lunch hall, everyone was there, the commanders, my daughter, me, and the boys (Eric is now officially a part of the boys). Sally was there too, Sally was there on the piano, Eric was manning the violin as well as three others.
"It's time, time for a banquet!" I pumped my fist into the air causing the others to cheer.
Lucci
Thanos
Grievous
Entity
Sally
Eric
Golden Shield
All of the crew
Sally tapped her foot giving the others the rhythm of the song, Sally began playing which followed, and soon so did the others

O'er across the ocean's tide
Rays of sunshine far and wide
Birds they sing
Of cheerful things
In circles passing by!
Bid farewell to Weavers Town
Say so long to Port Renowned
Sing a song
It won't be long
Before we're casting off
Cross the gold and silvers seas
A salty spray puts us at ease
Day and night
To our delight
The voyage never ends.
The singing stopped and it was the music's turn to "sing" before being overlapped by our voices.
Gather up all of the crew
It's time to ship out Bink's brew
Pirates we eternally
Challenge the sea
With the waves to rest our heads
Ship beneath us as our beds
Hoisted high upon the mast
Our Jolly Roger flys!
Somewhere in the endless skies
Stormy winds are blowing by
Waves are dancing evening comes

But steady men that never fear
Tomorrow's skies are always clear
So pound your feet

Till sunny days return!

Our days are but a passing dream
Everlasting though they seem
Beneath the moon, we'll meet again
The wind's our lullaby
Gather up all of the crew
It's time to ship out Bink's brew
Sing a song
And play along
For all the oceans wide!
After all is said and done
You'll end up a skeleton
So spread your tale
From dawn till dusk
Upon these foamy seas!
Yohohoho Yohohoho
Yohohoho Yohohoho
Yohohoho Yohohoho
Yohohoho Yohohoho
As the song ends Eric remembers something... Special of his life in the Crystal Empire.
Flashback
Eric POV
"Come on," Amber encouraged me. "Play something."
The instrument shop was filled with beautiful pieces for playing music. But the black violin I had found topped all of them. It looked like it had been carved from pure ebony, with strings that seemed to hum even without touching them.
"Come on, Amber," I said. "I don't really know how to play..."
She smirked. "Humble much?" she asked. "I saw the way you were looking at the piano."
I glanced at one of the ivory keyed instruments. "It just looks nice," I protested.
"And the cello?" she teased. "Or the harps? Novices don't look at them the way you do, my love." Her smile became less coy. "Come on, my mother tells me that the stronger a man is, the more beautiful his art."
I huffed. "Well, your grandparents clearly never forced your mother to perform at noble galas or parties."
"We're all blessed in our own ways," she replied, giving me that smile that I could never say no to.
Rolling my eyes, but unable to hide my own smile, I picked up the bow for the instrument and placed the violin against my chin.
With the smile of my angel encouraging me, I began to play.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFL2xGrtEm4
As I lost myself to the music, I almost didn't notice the crowd that began to form. All I needed to focus on was her. The light of awe in her beautiful eyes. The way the wind swept her mane to the side. The way her wings twitched and longed to spread when she was excited.
I played for her. I let my love flow through the instrument. And all too soon, I had to stop.
Applause broke us out of the trance we had been stuck in with each other. The crowd was cheering; stamping their feet as they brushed tears from their eyes.
"Huh," I noted, turning to her. "Why didn't you tell me you brought an audience?"
She giggled. "Oh, my beautiful musician," she teased, gazing into my eyes. "You get so lost when you play."
"That's fine," I replied as we drew closer. "I've got you to guide me back."
She kissed my cheek as we nuzzled into each other.
"As long as you play for me," she promised. "I'll always be there to guide you back."
I had my arms around Lucci and Emerald Gauntlet as we danced together, Entity and Grievous had their arms around each other and the musicians kept playing their music. We sang and laughed until we were tired and ate until we were full. This was truly a beautiful moment, as everyone kept singing and dancing I walked up to Eric.
"You know, this won't be the last time I call you. The next time I call you, you should be prepared to battle." I smiled. Eric said nothing as he continued playing music which caused several to look at him in awe, even Sally couldn't help but be enchanted by the shadow man's musical prowess. An hour in and everyone is talking and being themselves, I notice that Eric walked out of the lunch hall. I follow him outside, he was leaning on some railing that overlooked the kingdom. I walked beside him.
"Beautiful, isn't it? I have to watch over this whole kingdom but I'm sure your problems are way more serious than mine." I smiled.
"You can say that again, it's like every day some power hungry nut is trying to attack and kill the princesses with the devil fruit they acquired," Eric said before smiling. "Personally I just wish I could just end it all. All this darn evil."
"I remember one time someone had the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and was exactly like Enel but he wanted to take over the world. Me and the boys beat him no problem but really? The Rumble Rumble fruit was awesome, if he could use it properly he could've wrecked us." I chuckled.
"Ain't that the truth, people who have an understanding of how to use their Devil Fruit are extremely dangerous," Eric said before growing angry. "Cold Scale had almost nine-hundred years to completely master his devil fruit and with it, he was able to create an army of zombies most armed with Devil Fruits"
Eric then reached inside his body and pulled out a round black Devil Fruit before tossing it to Thanos
"Take it and give it to one of your friends," Eric said forcefully. "I never want to see that fruit in my world ever again." Thanos caught it and looked at it, he thought about crushing it but stopped, know who to give it to.
"I will, and hopefully, hopefully you settle everything. By the way, are you gonna tell your ponies what we said? Because I don't care what the other two have to say, the one with Rainbow Dash is important." I joked.
"No I'm not, none of them would understand," Eric said as the shadows beneath him starting to look like flames. "I will take my leave"
"Call upon me if you even require my Scythe again," Eric said returning to his Equestria. I stood there, idle.
"Wait, I should do a tournament to see who would get this fruit. Oh my god, my brain is fat!" I said turning around to go back to partying. Waiting for tomorrow to be another crazy bizarre adventure.

Thanos POV
I sat in the warship with two Infinity Stones in my gauntlet, Mission Barely Possible was a success. With the help of Eric, we won but barely, right now we were heading to the Storm Kingdom for negotiations. Right now war was coming, and right now I need the stones to destroy Equestria or erase half of it. That was my ultimate goal, destroy half of Equestria, and boy was it one heck of a goal. The warship arrived at the port, the warship is an airship so it landed next to the castle. The bridge dropped down and I walked towards the bridge, Emerald Gauntlet and Ruby accompanied me, the boys were resting and Sally won't let Entity go out because it's "dangerous" and that he is "healing." The Storm Castle was pitch black with light blue windows and outlines. The kingdom was futuristic with steampunk gadgets and houses below the castle, there were two Storm Guards in front of us, and in the middle, there was this... Figure. He had dark fur on his body with some white fur on his body, he wore a black and blue France soldier outfit of 1832. He carried a blade too. He bowed to me.
"Welcome, King Thanos of the Minotaur Kingdom, what brings you here to our lands today?" He had a British accent which surprised me given his choice in style.
"I am here to make an alliance between our kingdom. Equestria must fall, if not soon then later." I said towering over the man, he wasn't intimidated at all, he actually smiled.
"I'm glad we agree with each other, my name is Prince Gale of the Storm Kingdom, those cursed Equestrians must pay for what they did to my father!" Gale clenched his fists, he was practically oozing hatred. I put a hand on his shoulder.
"Soon you will, soon you will." I walked past Gale as Emerald Gauntlet and Ruby followed me, Gale quickly followed me as well with his two guards. As we walked to the castle, we received no weird looks from anyone, everyone was casual. Someone even waved at me which was nice, I like this kingdom :D!
"So did you declare war on Equestria?" Gale turned to me, I looked down at him and shook my head.
"No, but I technically did because I attacked their capital," I said as Gale looked at me with surprise written on his face.
"Y-you did?" Gale asked, curious as to why I attacked Canterlot.
"Indeed I did little one, it was pretty easy, with the help of a friend of course," I said as we closed in on the throne room, I saw the guards and Gale gulp in fear which piqued my curiosity. When we arrived we saw a Storm Guard fly past us and hit a wall, now nothing but a bloodstain. We saw the Storm Queen standing from his throne with her hand out, smoke coming from it.
"Useless moron, can I find anyone to give me information about the Crystal Cannon?" She groaned sitting back in her seat, I appeared into view and she grinned.
"Thanos, to what do I owe this pleasure?" She said getting in a comfortable position in her seat, I clear my throat.
"I hear you're looking for information on the Crystal Cannon, I can give the information to you if you want," I said looking into her eyes, she rubbed her face with a furry hand.
"You want something in return, do you?" She asked, I just smiled and with my smile, she knew the answer.
"I want to form an alliance to destroy Equestria!" I spoke, the room went silent and at that time it seemed like the whole world went silent as well. She shook her head trying to clear it so that she understood what I was saying.
"What?" She tilted her head with great confusion.
"I said I want to form an alliance, imagine the two strongest nations formed together, you're already allied with the Griffins, are you not? With our combined strength we could rule the galaxy- I mean, restore balance to the world and destroy Equestria once and for all." I said raising my gauntlet fist high, my two infinity stones started to shine. She leaped from her seat and landed in front of us with a smile on her face. She skipped up to me and wrapped her arm around my shoulder which was almost barely impossible, she stood on her toes and wrapped her arm around my shoulder. She pointed a finger gun at me.
"Big T, you got yourself a deal." She grinned wildly, BIg T, that's a new one.
"Then let us plan our action."

I picked up the goggles and looked at Thanos who was walking to his room, I looked back to the others, and they nodded getting ready. I look to Dr. Doom and he got ready, then we suddenly teleported in front of Thanos, Thanos opened his eyes, shocked. Garou and Muscular lunged at him, Thanos caught them both by the neck and slammed their heads together, they were dazed. I then look to Magneto and he formed his fist into a ball, Thanos roared in pain and wrapped his hand around his Infinity Gauntlet, it was getting crushed. I then smiled and slowed down time, as I walked up to him, and I got some chains out. I wrapped the chains around Thanos, and I continued time normally, he fell onto his knees. Weakened, he looked down to the chains.
"This is-" Before he can utter a word I cut him off, grabbing my knife and holding it close to his neck.
"That's right, it's sea prism chains and if you want to live you'll come with us. Magneto, take off his gauntlet." Magneto loosened the gauntlet and Muscular took it off. He glared at me and I just said nothing, I pulled his chains as Dr. Doom made a portal for us, I smiled as I dragged Thanos to the portal.
"WAIT YOU TITANNAPPERS!!!!!" I hear someone with an annoying voice say, I turn around and I see, Lucci, Entity, Luffy, Eden Spark, Mogeme, Grievous, and Sally run at us. I roll my eyes and I turn to Warmonger.
"Go and use the spell," I said blandly, Warmonger looked at me.
"As you wish," She held out her hand and time stopped for them, Warmonger walked up to the group, Grievous leading the charge, she giggled and booped him where his nose should be.
"You're so cute when you're trying." She walked to us and Garou looked at her.
"Was that really necessary?" Garou growled, she shrugged.
"What? I have my needs, besides I need a man who's strong, determined, and handsome on the inside." She blew Grievous a quick kiss before hopping in the portal, we all shook our heads and walked into the portal and with that time continued and they ran only to stop themselves. Grievous looked back at the group clenching his fists, he turned back around and fell on his knees.
"Hey robot guy, she thought you were cute," Luffy said pointing at Grievous mockingly. Mogeme held his laughter, Grievous looked like he was about to explode.
"THANOS!!!!"
A Few Minutes Ago
Grievous POV
I sat in my room in complete silence, I was next to Lucci who was meditating, he's been meditating ever since that fight with Eric. He's been trying to reach out to his primal urges, or should I say awaken his Devil Fruit? Either way, he's been trying nonstop to get stronger. Entity was with me too and Sally for whatever reason, they were playing Uno.
"So how do you think the others are doing?" Sally asked putting down a plus-four, Entity shrugged.
"I dunno, Supergirl's probably cursing at us, after all, she can hear everything." Entity counters the plus-four with his plus four. "Rapunzel is probably singing to herself."
"Hah! You're probably right, she's a singer I tell you." Sally put down another plus four, Entity scoffed.
"Of course she's a Disney princess, but no Disney princess can match your voice and your beauty." Entity smiled, Sally covered her face and blushed as Entity puts down another plus four. I rolled my eyes.
"Tch, yeah right, you have the beauty of a slug." I joked, Sally snapped her head towards me. Entity held her back when she was thrashing to kill me all the while I was laughing.
"Someone's here." Lucci opened his eyes, we all jumped to our feet, I got out my swords, Entity got his scythe, Lucci and Sally got into their fighting stance, we were all facing our backs. Immediately something or rather someone fell from the roof, a man with a straw hat, the straw-hat-wearing man got up and grinned.
"Shishishi, I made it! Hi, my name is Monkey D. Luffy, do you know where I can find a purple guy here?" We all faced him and looked at each other, I shook my head.
"How did you get here? I thought that we can only summon or get summoned by from tokens." I asked loosening my stance.
"That's what I thought too before he attacked," I hear someone say, I snap my head towards the one who made that noise it was... A dude with some weird gear and a guy with a- Wait is that a robot in my room?
"Who's he? Why are you in my room? HOW ARE YOU GUYS HERE!???!?!" I asked looking at everyone in the room, Luffy laughed, the guy with the robot jumped off from the robot and walked up to us.
"Let's cut to the chase, Kaido, the king of beasts, is here to take Thanos and recruit him to his army of Displaced. And before you ask, do you really think that someone with the Infinity tones would go unnoticed in the universe? There are spies in every single Equestria, and one of you killed one of their spies, Noximilen The Clockmaker. Kaido is angry and he wants to see Thanos, he knows that he wasn't the one who killed Noximilien, it was Thanos' little pet, Eric Von Shadow, Kaido knows everything about you, us, and the whole multiverse! He has an army of Displaced and characters from shows stuck in Equestria! He took one of my allies, some of Luffy's, and some of Mogeme's too, the guy with the coat. Name's Eden Spark by the way." Eden Spark finished his little rant and me and the boys and I guess girl, were shocked.
"Wait they're going after Thanos?" As soon as Sally said that I heard the window break and I went running to the door.
"THANOS JUST WAIT FOR ME BUDDY I'MA COMIN'!!!!!!!!"
Current Time
I punched a wall next to me, I was angered- nay, enraged that I was so close to getting Thanos yet so far. Lucci looked to Eden who sighed.
"I know a way to get to Kaido's Equestria, follow me and I'll tell you the plan to free the prisoners in Kaido's prison."Eden walked off and everyone else followed him but me. I couldn't believe the events that transpired, why? How? When? What?
"Why am I so weak?"

On a cliff overlooking Minocow stood, Grievous, Eden, Lucci, Sally, Entity, Eden, Mogeme, and Luffy. Eden had toys set up and a toy little house to visualize the plan.
"So how is playing with toys going to help us?" Lucci asked, Eden just glared at Lucci and said nothing.
"Oooh, I call dibs on the robot guy!" Luffy grinned, Grievous turned to Luffy.
"I call dibs on the Ken action figure," Grievous said as both of them reached for the toys, Eden slapped both of their hands and both of them held theirs with a pained expression on their face.
"OW!! Oi, Sparky, why did you hit us!" Luffy snapped, Eden sighed and shook his head.
"Alright, let's get on with the plan," Eden Spark finally spoke, he took a quick glance at the group then back to the toys.
"Okay, John Wick is Lucci, Sally is... Sally, Steve is Entity 303, Terminator is Grievous, Luffy is Ken, Sonic is Mogeme, Thanos is Thanos, and Iron Man is me, before I go on with the plan I'll need you to keep quiet, who knows who is listening."
They all nod and opened their ears, Eden nods and cleared his throat.
"Do you see this toy barn? That's Kaido's base, Megatron is Kaido and you can probably guess what the grunts are," He points to the green soldiers, "What opponents you saw now we're one of his Commanders, his left-hand man is Garou with the ability to turn into an Ice Dragon, 2nd commander is, you guessed it, Warmonger, 3rd is Herobrine, and 4th commander is Captain Verona. They are key people here, key people, I'll need Lucci and Entity to sneak in and grab Thanos and get out, then I and Grievous will go in and Mogeme with his sound ability will make a large amount of sound at the other side of the prison where we are. While he's distracting them we'll find the our friends and get out, and while we're doing this, Luffy, Grievous, Lucci, and Entity will start picking the fighters off one by one, leaving no survivors." Eden finished his plan.
"Alright, how are we going to get there?" Lucci raised a good question making the gang turn to Eden, Eden grinned under his mask and pulled out a device the size of a phone. The "Phone" had a rod at the end and he pushed a button making a portal two feet away from us, they look at each other and Luffy has stars in his eyes.
"So... COOOOOLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Join my crew!" Luffy turned to Eden, who just stared blankly at Luffy.
"I refuse."
"I refuse your refusal." Luffy countered.
"Alright, LEZ GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" Grievous jumps in and the rest jumps in in too, ready for what's to come.
Thanos POV
When we walked out of the portal, I looked up, there were two cliffs towering above us and when I looked straight ahead I saw Udon Prison, but it looked more beastly than before, there was no factory instead it was a giant building and I saw two guards that looked like the Firebenders Soldiers from Avatar. They looked like elite soldiers of some kind, there a giant dragon statue on top of the building that looked like Kaido's Dragon Form. Which was cool but at the same time terrifying, it looked exactly like the Jade Palace from Kung Fu Panda, speaking of which, I wonder if there was an Equestrian Version of Kung Fu Panda out there, I would kill to watch that.
"To be honest I didn't think it would be that easy." The one known as Reaper said I snapped my head towards him.
"I was outnumbered, you had Sea Prism Chains, and the ability to slow down time, what di you expect? Me to go Super Saiyan and wreck your crap?" I growled, he just grinned and pushed me forward.
"Shut up and keep walking." Reaper said in a monotone voice which kinda creeped me out, Warmonger was walking on my left and leaned her head next to me.
"Sooo, who's that dashing cyborg?" Warmonger asked, I side-eyed her.
"Grievous? He's a wild one, he always does annoying antics, one time he-" I was punched in the back, I didn't feel anything but I looked to the one who punched me, it was Muscular with a cocky grin.
"When I get out of these chains I'm going to snap your neck." I glared down at him, he just laughed.
"I'd like to see you try." After that he said nothing as we reached the entrance, the doors open and what was inside was a hallway that was lit up by torches at the end of the hallway was another door. I saw a dark figure at the end of the hall, when they passed a torch, the orange fire on the torch turned into one of blue fire. When they were 12 feet away I saw what they were, it wasn't a they it was Azula. Accompanying her are two guards wearing blue armor, probably two of her elites. She walked up to me and stopped three feet apart, she put her hands on her hips and smiled smugly. She looked up and down.
"Wow, I didn't think you guys could do it, that or he's weak." Azula said with a snark, the group that captured me growled.
"A. They caught me off guard. B. They have Sea Stone Chains. C. They can slow time. And what can I do? Expel heat from my body shoot Power Beam lasers and make reality whatever I want." I retorted.
"With those things going for you, you really should've won, but I guess you're just like the rest, weak. I hope Kaido can make a man out of you." Azula smiled, knowing full well what she was referencing.
"Really? You had to do that? Why? Why did you have to do that? It bucking cause you zero dollars to say that and you did! WHY DID YOU SAY THAT!??!?!? WHY??? NO SERIOUSLY TELL ME WHY????" I yelled glaring down at Azula.
"Ain't nothing but a heartache." I hear everyone in this room say including the guards inside and outside say. I turned around, then I turned back around.
"I hate you all, but that was pretty funny, not gonna lie." I chuckled, everyone in this roomed laughed.
"Okay, okay, okay, back to business. Kaido wants to see Thanos, alone." Azula put the emphasis on the "alone" part. I looked back to my capturers, suddenly feeling safer with them.
"Don't worry Than the Man, you're going to meet Kaido! It's going to be fun!" Warmonger pushed me forward and I shake my head and just walked forward, deciding to deal with it. For now.
"Alright, let's go." Azula turned around and walked off with her guards following her, I followed and the Guards stepped aside to let me walk beside Azula. I was three feet taller than her, so I was therefor superior by manly law. As we walked I noticed that the once blue fire turned back to orange. I look down at her.
"Okay, that's seriously cool, the way when you walk past fire it turns blue and when you do it again it turns back to it's original state is amazing." I commented, she blushed a little.
"It's simply due to my presence that the flames turn themselves that way, I am after all the Empress of Flames." She said with a smile, the smile was pure. As we reached the end of the hallway the Guards opened the door and we were now in a room with three hall ways, one on the left, right, and middle. Each and every one of them were labeled, the one on the left was where they kept the prisoners, the one on the middle was Kaido's domain, and lastly the one on the left was where the underlings of Kaido stay.
"Alright, this is as far as I can take you. Go on." I walked forth and I looked back to her, she just smiled, I grumble and I walk to the middle room, the door was colossal, the size of Kaido, speaking of which all of the doors were the size of Kaido. The door was made out of some sort of Dark Wood with red torched sticking out the side of the door, I was tall enough to reach the door handle. I knocked on the door and heard a deep growl, I looked back and saw that Azula was gone.
"Okay, I'm coming in." I open the door and slowly closed it behind me, I scanned the area and I saw that there were giant pillars the size of buildings holding the roof up, each of them were lit up by red fire, I looked in front of me and fourty-eight meters ahead of me was Kaido in his Dragon Form wrapped around a pillar bigger than the rest. His eyes were closed, as soon as I took a step his eyes were opened, he yawned and it shook the room, and know that this room was the size of a Football Field. The room was cold, that or I was scared by Kaido, I didn't know which was which at this point.
"Thanos," His voice shook the room, "You came so soon, I was figuring I would take a nap before you came because I thought you ran away. But I'm glad you didn't, so Thanos I've heard about you. From my spy actually Noximilien the Clockmaker, he said you had the strength of Katakuri and the brains of Albert Einstein, and that was some praise from one of my scientists. But unfortunatly he was slain by your pet, Eric Von Shadow of Universe 5687, the wielder of the Shade-Shade Fruit, which allows him to control and become shadows. Similar to the Shadow-Shadow Fruit but superiors in combat. Now, Thanos you're probably asking yourself, "Why am I here?" It's not because of your pet, it's because of you I need you. You're strength, your speed, your intellect, durability, endurance and ever single physical and mental stat you have. Become one of us, you show great promise." Kaido finished his speech and I stood there, stunned.
"Uh... Well-" Suddenly there was a huge crash that alerted us, next we heard running and yelling. Kaido sighed, heating up the room with his breath.
"That's probably your Allies." Suddenly something opened up on the left, revealing a giant hole that lead outside that can fit Kaido, I saw sunlight. Kaido yawned once more.
"You can stay here and wait for me if you want, not that I care." He said before he released himself from the giant pillar and went down the hole. I immediately booked for the door and went down where the Underlings Stay running past everyone I kicked down the door where the Prisoners mined and I say Grievous cackling like a madman.
"What in the bu-"
A Few Minutes Earlier
The Displaced Rescue Squad sat behind some trees overlooking the prison. They were all in a circle.
"Alright, do you remember the plan?" Eden said, Grievous sat up and walked over in front of a tree that overlooked the prison, revealing itself.
"If they have full watch over the universe do you think they have something cool?" Mogeme asked.
"Well yes but- Wait, don't tell me you're thinking about stealing from Kaido?" Eden turned his head to Mogeme.
"Well, yeah, they probably have something cool." Mogeme grinned, Eden frowned.
"You are NOT stealing from Kaido." Eden said slowly, very, very, slowly.
"Come on, just one thing, it's not gonna hurt him!" Mogeme tried to compromise, Eden stared at Mogeme.
"Mogeme, look at me, I've seen what Kaido and his group can do, you do NOT wanna steal from them. That's why my buddy is in prison." Eden said and suddenly Mogeme decide he shouldn't do that. Luffy yawned loudly, which made some birds fly away, Lucci covered Luffy's mouth, shutting him up.
"Shut up Luffy, you're gonna give away our location." Lucci said through his teeth, Sally shook her head and sat up.
"I'm done with all of you, we'll strike at midnight, I'll go get some wood." Sally walked off, Entity sat up.
"I'm gonna go follow her, who knows what's out here." Entity ran to accompany Sally.
"Alright, thumbs up, let's do this, LEEEEEEEROOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYY JEEEEEENNNKKIIINNNSSSS!!!!!!!!" Grievous jumped down and got out all four of his Elemental Swords and held them with his extra arms, he slid jumped down from their vantage point and used a combination of Geppo and Soru to appear before the prison, he slammed himself through the prison and made a giant hole.
"THANOS I'M COMING FOR YOU BUDDY!!!!!!!!!" Grievous cackled, he looked down at the nigh hundreds of opponents in front of him.
'Let's do this'
Displaced Rescue Squad POV
"Did he just-" Eden stuttered.
"SAVE HIM!!!!" Lucci said looking at Eden.
"You save him, you're strong!" Mogeme said, immediately Entity and Sally ran back to the group.
"What happened?!" They said simultaneously.
"Wahooo! I'm going to join Robot guy!" Luffy jumped but before he completely jumped Eden pulled him back, Eden looked at Luffy straight in his eye.
"Do NOT do what Grievous just did. Do NOT." Eden said with sweat dropping down his eyebrow.
"What do we even do now?" Entity asked, Sally sighed.
"Do the plan without him I guess..."
Grievous POV
"EY YOOOOO YOU WANNA SQUARE UP!??!?!?!? OI KAIDO GET YO SORRY BEHIND OVER HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!" I shouted right before multiple Lightning Orbs was shot at me, I dodged the attacks and looked at the one who shot them. It was an Enel Displaced which was pretty cool.
"You wanna square up too?" I asked him, he just grinned.
"Perhaps, let's do this Grievous!" Enel zapped his way in front of me and was about to punch me, my sword was ready to block but suddenly I was pulled forwards and my neck was in the hands of Pain from Naruto Shippuden! I love this guy!
"Enel, let me take care of this, knowing you, you would just play with your food." Pain said coldly, Enel frowned.
"HEY!!! He was mine, drop him before I kick your butt!" Enel growled, Pain glared at him and tossed me aside, I hit the ground and I appeared before Azula.
"Come at me bro." Pain taunted Enel, Enel zapped in front of Pain and cocked his fist back, covering it in Armament Haki, as they began to fight. Azula's soldiers try to beat me down, they were shooting out blue flames! I cut through the flames and tried to cut them, I was close too but I was blocked by Azula's arm guard. Azula grinned and kicked my stomach launching me into Oven. Oven the fourth son of Big Mom! He reached for me but I jumped back, I turned around and saw that there were so many Displaced warriors here. From people from Sonic to people from memes, I was outnumbered, but I know I wasn't outmatched. Suddenly there was a shadow that covered my body and half the prison, I looked up and saw Kaido.
"General Grievous from the 2003 series, nice." He complemented, I looked up at Kaido like a kid would look up at an airplane.
"Thank you, I'm going to fight you now." I said with complete and utter honesty.
"Okay." Kaido said casually, I jumped from the ground, the ground formed spiderweb cracks as I jumped from it, I then kicked Kaido's jaw with an Armament Haki covered kick, it knocked him up, making his whole serpent like body follow his head. Everyone stopped to look at Kaido, actually feeling worried for him.
"KAIDO!!!!!!" I hear everyone cry, I start to spin my extra hands then held my swords, flying like a Helicopter. I flew after Kaido, flying up to his face, I then drop-kick his jaw once more launching him behind the Prison, I follow after him. I covered my two free swords, Lightning and Water, in Armament Haki and I start shooting Lightning and Water slashes at Kaido, he fell on his back.
"Take that!" I laughed, as I dropped down ten meters in front of him. Kaido simply picked up his head just to look at me, then laid it back down as he reverts to his human form. Suddenly the sky turned dark an I knew what was coming, I curse to myself as I look down at him, lightning struck him and he stood up, covered in a dark aura.
"Worororo!" I hear him laugh, I frown as he prepares himself, I ready all four of my swords, covering in Armament Haki and letting them glow with their corresponding element. Kaido cracked his neck then his right arm, in his right arm was his weapon, a Kanabo. I dashed at Kaido with great speed, he grinned.
"ELEMENTAL SLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I roared as I appeared in front of him in a matter of seconds. He reeled back his Kanabo ready to strike.
"THUNDER BAGUA!!!!!!!!!!" Our weapons hit, making the surrounding area blow away, I was holding up for a few seconds but then he let out a furious roar and went pushed my swords back to my and hit me right in the stomach. The hit made the electricity from him channel itself to me, I was then launched far, far, far away and into the prison. The force shook the whole prison and I fell from it and I hit the floor, knocked out due to the force. My blades fell down with me. He took out his bottle of sake and took a drink.
"Stupid brats."
