"What the hell?! Just when I get here for the first time in five years you have the gall to WHOA!" Charles began to yell toward his opponent who then took a wide swing at him only for him to duck backwards and twirl away as he brought his arms up in front of him to block a second swing before giving a couple quick jabs to his face, making him stagger backwards.

Charles' opponent gave a smirk as he wiped one of the gloves across his chin to see a small spec of blood on it. "Well then, it has been a few eons since the last time a being has managed to make me bleed." He chuckled as he pounded his gloves together and started to circle the ring, getting closer to Charles as he did the same.

"Couldn't this have waited until I at least got to speak with my parents?" He spoke out in an annoyed tone.

"Kick his ass! It's the least he deserves for abandoning us for five years, and he didn't even bring our grandchild with him so we could meet him!" Charles' father yelled causing Charles to drop his guard and gawk at him.

"REALLY DAD?!" He spoke out in shock before staggering backwards from a hit and into the chained fence encircling the ring and bringing up his fists to block another couple of hits.

"Keep your head in the game boy! You don't have time to lollygag."

"So tell me." Charles began as he ducked another hit. "Is this just a boxing match, of a martial arts match?"

"I prefer boxing, but seeing as we are in the octagon. I think you can tell what to....." *CRACK*

Charles' opponent was hit hard by a direct kick to the side of his head, causing him to fall sideways onto the floor. Charles was on top of him, quickly pulling him into an arm lock and putting pressure onto it making him groan out loudly in pain as he could feel the muscles and tendons stretching past their limit.

"NNNNNNNNNNGHHH! *TAPTAPTAPTAP*"

"Garret has tapped out!" Came another voice from higher up above the ring. Charles finally seeing a floating platform with every God from the hall of Gods sitting around it, some cheering while others had big foam fingers and hats who were cheering as well.

Charles released Garret the God from his hold and quickly flipped backwards and onto his feet, taking a defensive stance just in case. However it was short lived as the octagon disappeared along with Garret, the human being returned back to his Alicorn state in the process.

"Well now that was short lived." One of the Gods chuckle toward Garret only to get socked in the nose by him. The two began to fight each other as the floating platform cleared, Most of the God's jumping to the side or down from the platform to avoid the tumbling duo. Just then however, Midnight got another sock in his shoulder by his father who still had an angry expression plastered across his face.

"Dammit dad. You know you could have just let me explain everything first before ambushing me like you did." Midnight groaned as he flipped out a wing and shoved his father backwards a few feet.

"Really? Five years without seeing you or Celestia, or even our grandchild and you want me to just sit back and listen to a half assed explanation?" He snapped back as he raised his fists in front of him. "Come on, you know I ain't like that. I prefer the hands on method."

"Your going to get your ass kicked. You know that right?" Midnight chuckled toward his father who was now turning red in the face.

"We'll see about that!" *SMACK* "HEY!" He shouted as he was unceremoniously smack on the back of the head by his wife.

"Now don't you start this nonsense. Our son has finally come to see us and you're wasting time fighting with him, even after Garret lost to him." She spoke out in a stern voice causing her husband and even the God's present to flinch slightly. She turned back to Midnight and smiled as she came up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck hugging him firmly. Pulling back she smiled to her son for a moment before her hand shot up and grabbed his ear and yanked it down causing him to yell out as he was pulled along behind her.

"OW! Owowowowowowowowow!" He kept crying out while the Gods all began laughing at his plight.

"There is no wrath like a woman scorned, much less a mom who has a child who pissed her off." Bob chuckled as he watched the scene play out.

After being drug along behind his mother, Midnight was finally released, flicking his ear a few times to get the pain to fade.

"Was that really necessary?" Midnight groaned as he took a seat onto the clouded ground, but stopped as his mother turned back around quickly and glaring at him.

"You're just lucky that is all I did. I should bust your tail for leaving us alone for five years, and you let Celestia know that as well." She growled.

"Alright I think it's about time for me to explain why I wasn't around for five years." He started, causing them to glare.

"I was turned to stone from being caught off guard by Discords daughter. Had I been able to visit while being a statue, then I would have." He stated flatly causing them to stare at him in disbelief.

"You're kidding....... seriously?" His father gawked.

"Serious as I could be." He groaned, rolling his eyes. "Now then!" He spoke up causing his parents attention to be fully on him. "I came by to let you know that I have the ability to visit far more often than I originally thought possible." He smiled nervously to his parents. "It appears that I may be able to visit once every four days, or possibly once a week if all of my calculations are correct. So that means..." He was cut short as his parents were dancing around happily.

"That means we can see our grandchildren...... and all of your wives! Oh my goodness!" His mother spoke out in glee as she hugged him tightly around the neck, his father just giving him a slight glare.

"You had better be back no later than a week boy. I would hate to have to as the alpha God to let me come down there and whip your tail."

"No worries dad. I promise I'll be back within a week, and you will finally get to meet one of your grand kids." He chuckled seeing their expression light up at the use of words.

"You mean you have more than one?" His father gawked slightly while his mother was almost in tears.

"Well, the second one is adopted, but you'll get to meet her within a couple weeks." *FLICKER*

"Oh no, is it already time for you to go?" His mother asked as she watched his body flicker slightly.

"I guess it is, but don't worry." He began as his body began to fade away, his voice becoming softer as it did so. "I will be back in a few days. I plan on letting you guys meet everyone........" He managed to finish as he finally faded away.

"Well then, what now?" His father asked as he chuckled.

"We can only wait hun." She smiled as they looked to the spot their son had previously been in.

After blinking a few times, Midnight cleared his vision as he returned to the world of the living. Standing in front of him however was a slightly glaring Celestia.

"I hope your trip was eventful." She grumbled.

"Sorry, spur of the moment thing." He chuckled. "But at least now you know you can visit your folks more often."

"I will let this little event slide, as I intend on abusing your ability quite a bit in the near future." She smirked toward the dark Alicorn as she moved toward the door. "For now however, you have three scrolls to read on my desk." She stated before exiting the room.

Midnight looked to the large desk on the far side of the room, picking himself up and then quickly making his way over before pulling the first scroll up to in front of him.

Midnight,

I want a rematch the next time you visit the afterlife. I won't be as easy on you next time.

Garret, God of universe 233542

"Idiot......" Midnight groaned as he rolled his eyes and tossed the scroll into the trash before picking up the next one.

Our dearest son,

You had better bring one of our grandchildren the next time you visit. No excuses.

Mom

Midnight gave an annoyed sigh as he read the short letter. "Yes mom, I know." He groaned, tossing the scroll to the side before picking up the final one.

Midnight,

Please come back to Ponyville as soon as you get this. We seem to be having some difficulty with Samantha.

Twilight Sparkle

Midnight facehoofed as his horn lit up. "Wonderful, what hell has she brought this time?" He groaned as he vanished in a flash of light, teleporting back to Ponyville with due haste.

"Samantha, please calm yourself AAH!" Twilight shouted as she dodged a flying lamp as it was sent toward the draconequus cowering behind her.

"I will not calm down! That flea bitten jerk called me fat! I'm not fat! I'm carrying your baby you bastard!" She yelled toward Discord as she sent a book flying toward him, only to be caught in Twilight's magical grasp.

"Ok, lamps and other things I can handle you throwing at Discord, but when you start throwing my books, that's where I draw the line." Twilight snorted as she picked up the human and pulled her through the air toward her. Samantha just crossing her arms as she glared at the two.

"I'm sorry Samantha, I didn't mean to call you fat." Discord pouted as he gave the biggest puppy eyes he could toward his love.

"Bullshit! I know you and your 'chaotic' ways. You did it to irk me and cause a 'bit of chaos' didn't you? ADMIT IT!" She screeched as she reached out toward the draconequus with open hands, squeezing the air as if trying to strangle him from a distance. Twilight looking back to him as he rubbed the back of his neck while giving a sheepish grin.

"Seriously?! DISCORD! How could you?!" Twilight spat causing him to flinch.

"I'm sorry, you know I can't go against my nature Twilight. I didn't mean to hurt her feelings, I swear........... wait! What are you doing?!" He spoke out in a startled tone as Twilight released Samantha from her magical grasp and grabbed onto the draconequus.

"You wronged Samantha in a hurtful way, now I feel it to be only appropriate that you experience the same." She smirked seeing Samantha's eyes light up with vengeance.

"You wouldn't let her hurt me would you?" He whimpered as he began to shrink under her threatening gaze.

"She will decide the appropriate actions too take against you, won't you Sam?" Twilight giggled seeing her crack her knuckles threateningly.

Sam pulled back a fist causing Discord to curl up, waiting for the blow to take place that never came. He opened his eyes after a moment to see her pointing at him. "You have a tacky goatee, and I never liked it!" She spoke out causing him to gawk for a moment before his eyes began to water. Samantha gave a smirk before exiting the library with due haste. Discord on the other hand.

"H-how could she s-say I have a tacky goatee?" He blubbered as he stroke the hair in question with his taloned paw.

"It's not tacky Discord." Twilight began but paused as Discord snapped his attention to her giving a hopeful expression.

"D-do you really mean that?" He whimpered as his eyes grew to the size of dinner plates.

"Yes?" she said in a slightly unsure voice while giving a sheepish smile. She immediately regretted it however as she was swept up in a hug by the draconequus.

"Oh, thank you Twilight! I always knew you were my favorite pony!" Discord chuckled as he rubbed his cheek against her own.

*FLASH*

"Twi, what's going on..... with........ Samantha?" Midnight had appeared in a flash from teleporting into the library, immediately speaking out as he looked around to find her, only to see her rubbing cheeks with Discord.

"Uh........... hello there." Discord spoke out as he placed the purple unicorn back onto the floor and giving a sheepish grin.

"Hello indeed." Midnight spoke as his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked from Discord back to Twilight who was now sweating bullets.
