"WHAT!?!?!" Everyone screamed.

"Before any of you ask anything, let me explain. I was previously a god because I did the power transfer to everyone and such. Inside your very soul and being is a small part of me. That transfer of powers involved me giving each of you most of my life force. This means that each of you have a small copy of everything about me that makes me the Crazy Asian. Now that isn't very good because I'm me. Thank god you guys don't have my memories because that would cause some chaos. Do you know how much of my life force I gave away? My soul is only thirty-two percent complete at this very moment. Each of the twelve of you basically have a small copy of me stitched into your mind and soul. You guys have been feeling my influence in your mind, haven't you?"

The looks on their faces became more serious and they answered my question just with their expressions. "That's right, during the whole escapade; the twelve of you were fighting with styles that you guys have never seen. By the way, the way I fight is something I was taught combined with some of my own self-made technique." I took out my B23R and racked the slide a few times, dropping a few rounds on the ground. I picked up the dropped rounds and reloaded them into the pistol before I reholstered my pistol and crossed my arms. “Plus, the six of you-" I said while gesturing to the Mane Six. "-were using weapons you guys have never used and in some cases, never heard of. You guys should be thankful that I know how to use a lot of weapons, especially you Fluttershy. Hook swords are one of the hardest weapons to learn how to use. Besides having some of my knowledge, each of you have some of my mentality. I bet the twelve of you have been feeling different as time goes. Fluttershy, I bet you've been feeling more assertive and braver. Plus, you were able to fight those evil alicorns as if they were nothing. You weren't even afraid of them. Rainbow Dash, you must be enjoying knowing how I fight. I doubt you have been feeling competitive lately. Rarity, I have noticed that you've been acting with less elegance. You are acting more carefree like me. Twilight, you haven't been using long words since the battle. You are coming into my habit where I don't use long words because no one else that is normal would understand those words. Applejack, your countrified accent isn't as country as it was a few days ago. Plus, you have been acting with more refinedness, as if you just came from Manehattan like when you were a child. Pinkie, I bet you haven't eaten any form of sweets since yesterday and I'm going to guess that you now can't tolerate sweets of the kind you usually eat. Plus, I haven't heard you talking about a get well party for me when I recover. You also aren't skipping and bouncing with each step."

"That's silly. I've eaten some sweets. Here, I'll show you. And I was going to invite you to a get well party" Pinkie said. She reached into her mane with a hoof and pulled out a cupcake. Somehow, the cupcake defied the laws of everything from the fact that Pinkie Pie was involved and the cupcake wasn't covered in hair. In an instant she ate the entire cupcake whole, barely chewing it. She looked at me for a few seconds while smiling. I called her bluff and looked back at her, also smiling. A few seconds passed and I looked back to the others. “See, I was able to-HUUURGH" Pinkie started until she turned green and vomited into a nearby trashcan. I knew that that was going to happen the minute I saw her look at the cupcake.

"I knew it. You can't stand sweets like that anymore" I said to Pinkie. "Just another one of my habit. You may never like sugar ever again."

"Tran, right when we all were held in bubbles and were about to be killed, we weren't scared of being killed. Care to explain why?" Austin asked.

"Let me explain something to you guys. How many of you don't want to die?" I asked. Everyone replied back with the obvious answer. "Exactly, no one wants to die. In my case, I don't want to die either. However, am not afraid of death. I embrace the feeling of death. I view life as a short coming before the inevitable. Even immortals will eventually meet the inevitable. In the face of death, I don't try to escape or fear it, I embrace it. That is why you guys weren't scared when you were going to die. My life, I see everything I do as a memory. Everything I do will eventually mean nothing when I die. Everything I do is just something to make the wait for death seem shorter. That battle? A bygone." Everyone looked at me as if I was crazy. Well, crazier than my normal self. "Don't any of you dare to try to change the way I think. Leave it as it is. You guys don't want to risk me going crazier than my usual crazy self. I may be barely tolerable now but imagine if you guys drive me crazy, trying to change me and all. Besides, if you guys do manage to change me, would I really be staying as the old Tran? Would the lot of you enjoy the new Tran? I might become more boring and less willing to perform acts of violence as I try to preserve my life with every chance that I get."

I turned to the left and sat on the edge of the left side of the bed before I jumped off of the bed and landed on my feet. Almost immediately, one of my legs gave away and I fell to the ground and onto my face.

"Uh Tran, the doctor scanned your body again and some slight damage that was present before yesterday's battle turned into fractures in your tibia and fibula from that sprinting you did."

"Bleep. Someone help me to my bed and someone else grab my backpack." Twilight Sparkle lifted me up back onto my bed with her magic back in an upright position on the left side of my bed and Nick handed me my backpack. I opened my backpack and dug into it before I took out the knife that my friends gifted me. I unlatched my belt and placed it on a small sheath that would be hidden behind my belt when I wore, making the dagger a fallback weapon. I relatched my belt and I dug into my backpack again, this time pulling out a bottle of pills. I swallowed a few of them before I shoved the pills back into my backpack.

I dug through my backpack again and pulled out a mound of parts and tools. I placed the tools on the bed and I picked up some parts and one of the tools.

"Tran, what are you assembling?

"Something the Griffons are going to enjoy." I clicked the last piece in place and held the object out with both hands. The object I was holding was roughly the same size and shape as a ruby ball and it beeped every few seconds. “This is a Fury Tactical Weapon. It weighs about eighty pounds and it is from the UNSC Armory. In the Halo universe, it is commonly known as the closest thing the UNSC has to a nuclear grenade. It has some power. Explosive power is slightly under a megaton so this is forty-five times more powerful than the Fat Man nuclear device used on Nagasaki." I shoved the nuke into my backpack and took out some gum. I popped a piece into my mouth and started chewing on it.

"Oh god. Tran's in tranquil fury" Nick said.

"Tranquil fury?" everypony asked.

"It's when Tran is angry but isn't showing it and is plotting how to get revenge" Nick explained. "It's one of Tran's many different types of anger. This type of anger is probably the worst you will ever see."

"Oi. How did the conversation come from talking about effects of my transfer of power to this?" Alex asked. Everyone, minus me, turned and stared at Alex because he used the word oi.

"See? You guys are adopting my habits. I bet you guys are craving some gum right now. Here" I said while handing some gum to each of them. They all popped the piece of gum into their mouth and chewed on it.

"Tran, how come you like chewing gum? I hate the habit as it is completely uncouth but now you've persuaded me into the habit."

"It's my influence on your mind. Also, chewing gum isn't a bad habit. We're chewing sugarless gum. Plus the gum we're chewing contains xylitol, an ingredient that helps fight cavities." I placed the packet of gum into one of my pockets. "The six of you should also have some of my powers, even the demon ones. ike, may I see your Colt Python?" I said.

"Sure?" He took out the revolver and handed it to me. I grabbed at the handgun and unloaded the chamber. Currently, the Colt Python was pack a punched. This meant it was now the Cobra. Unlike the game, it only held six rounds instead of twelve rounds. The power was still the same and it had a much farther range. I held the six .357 magnum rounds in my hand and placed five on my lap. I placed the sixth round back in the chamber of the revolver and spun the chamber. I aimed it at Nick and pulled the trigger. *CLICK*

"Tran, what are you doing?!?" Nick asked.

"A demonstration" I replied back. I aimed it at Rarity and pulled the trigger. *CLICK* I aimed it at Austin and pulled the trigger. *CLICK*

"This isn't safe!" Twilight said.

"Who cares" I replied back. I aimed it at Rainbow Dash and pulled the trigger. *BANG* The .357 round entered Rainbow Dash in the midsection and exited out the other side. Everyone looked at the Rainbow Dash, who was still standing despite getting shot. The wound in Rainbow Dash midsection was steadily bleeding but it soon stopped and the entire wound sealed up without leaving a scar.

"Tran, what the fuck was that?!?" Rainbow Dash asked.

I opened the chamber of the python and reloaded the other five rounds into the Python. I closed the chamber of the revolver with a snap before I spun the chamber on my arm. "Proving a point. Did the twelve of you notice that when Rainbow Dash got hit by the bullet, she didn't even flinch? That means you guys have my pain tolerance now. Also, you have my demon powers as you can see from the regeneration. Me, I need to get that back. I have two bullet wounds, a few fractures in my leg, and minor internal bleeding. You guys can't handle my powers and mentality."

"Is that a challenge?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"No. It's a fact. My mentality and powers together will slowly take over until the piece of me that is inside you will completely rule over your body with a slight influence of your own mind. You'll barely have influence over you own body with a piece of me taking over."

"We're going to turn into you?!?" Austin asked.

"Just your mind" I replied. "It's already happening you know."

"We have to reverse this somehow" Twilight said. "I don't want to be an incredibly annoying Asian."

"I don't want to hate sugar" Pinkie Pie said.

"I don't want to be one of the most violent beings to live" Rarity said.

"I want to stay a country mare" Applejack said.

"I don't want to turn into an egghead" Rainbow Dash said.

"I don't want to eat meat" Fluttershy said.

"Thanks for the complements. I really enjoy listening to them. It really tells me how much you guys love me even how you guys are crushing on me" I said to the six of them.

The six of them blushed before they all said "Sorry."

"Luckily, the mind takeover process is delayed because you guys are elements, including you six" I said while pointing to my six human friends. The Mane Six were still wearing their elements of harmony and my friends were still wearing their gold dog tags.

"We're elements?" Logan asked. "Let me guess, they're the dog tags? It was kind of obvious. I mean, who makes gold dog tags? They're completely useless."

"Yeah. They're kind of are. Did the six of you figure out what you're elements are?" I asked.

"How are we supposed to know that? The dog tags barely say anything!"

"You have got to be kidding me. You're elements are stated on the dog tags. Ike, you are the element of assault. Nick, you are the element of strength and power. Logan, you are the element of support. Austin, you're the element of remorse. Alex, you are the element of self-defense. Andy, you're the element of morale. It's because the six of you guys survived in the zombie apocalypse. Running zombies were really annoying. Nearly everyone thought they would walk and stumble around. Oh vell. Where was I? Oh yeah. The six of you are the Elements of Survival. Nick you represent how you need strength to keep on surviving. Not just physical strength but mental strength too. You were able to survive, not knowing if your family was alive, with mental problems, and problems with some of your limbs. Most people would have killed themselves or lost interest in surviving. Ike, you represent the need of having to be direct in surviving because you often charged or rushed in combat and it was just the right amount of charge too. You didn't just run straight into the enemy and you didn't stay in the sidelines. In a survival situation, you must know whether or not if you have to do advance forward. Logan, you represent how you need support or help to survive. It could be help from an object or a friend but you would help. Usually it was probably your sniper rifle or something like weed but it was support. In a survival situation, you need help no matter who you are. Austin, you represent how you need remorse for others to survive. You can't just be an emotionless killing machine to survive because you would become a machine/husk. This would eventually cause mental problems over time especially if the apocalypse ends. Alex, you represent how you need to be able to defend yourself in a survival situation. Whether it was fighting a zombie or a person, you have to be able to defend yourself and you were one of the best fighters. Whether it was zombies or a thief, you were able to defend yourself effectively. Andy, you represent how you need to have a high morale to survive. You can't survive if you hate life and are constantly depressed. You would lose interest in life and eventually you would kill yourself. Despite being annoying, you would make us want to keep on going sometimes. Together, the six of you are the Elements of Survival, our universe's counterpart of the Elements of Harmony. You see, in every universe, there are always two forces fighting each other. In Equestria, it's the Elements of Harmony that are fighting the Nightmare. In our universe, the one infested with zombies, it's the Elements of Survival fighting the zombies. As you can tell, the six of you guys currently aren't in the zombie apocalypse universe. Unlike the lot of you, I am not an element because I was a Nightmare. However, that doesn't mean the Nightmare part of me that's imbedded in you is going to cause the twelve of you to lose your elements, the elements are stronger than that" I explained.

"Tran, how do you know this?" Austin asked.

"I KNOW EVERYTHING!!!" I yelled out.

"UUUUUGGGGGGHHHHH" everyone groaned.

"Wait, I just thought of something. Shouldn't we be doing something about us slowly turning into Tran?" Ike asked.

Everyone face palmed and looked back at me."I know all of that because I met him."

"Him?"

"Him" I replied back while looking up.

My six human friends' eyes widened. "You met God?!?"

"I didn't say which god and I won't say."

"Who is God?" Twilight asked.

"The creator of everything. Life. Matter. The universe. Basically everything" Ike replied back.

The Mane Six's eyes widened as they realized that they knew that I met God. "Who is he? Everyone needs to know this!" Twilight said.

"Nope. Not saying" I replied. "Shouldn't we focus on the whole 'you guys are going to turn into me' situation?"

"Fine. We've deal with this later. How do we even begin to do something like this? It's not like you have a step by step instruction video" Ike said. "You, You don't have one right?"

"No. By the way, can I keep the Python?"

"Why would you- Sure. Why not. Here's the holster and ammo" Ike said while handing me several stray rounds and a shoulder holster. I placed the stray rounds, about fifty or so, and placed them into one of my jacket pockets. I took the shoulder holster and immediately placed it on my shoulder and holstered the revolver. I took one of the stray rounds and reloaded the sixth round into the Python.

"I always love a good weapon" I said. "Your elements are also constantly fighting with my Nightmare powers and the nothing is really happening. However, if the scale is tipped over to my Nightmare part of my soul in your body, your elements will soon be destroyed even if it is the slightly amount. Besides that, are we finally going to do something about this situation or are we going to talk about it? Unlike the twelve of you, I don't want to die."

"How do we even start something like this?"

"Are you going to let me finish?" I asked. "First things first, someone get me a wheelchair or something." Instead of getting a Wheelchair, Nick lifted me up and placed me on his shoulder. "Oh that's right; the wheelchair's here are pony sized." I should have expected that as I was just using two pony beds

My six friends snapped their fingers and the thirteen of us were outside of the hospital. "Tran, what are we going to have to do first?"

"I have to get some schtuff from my armory" I replied back. "Remember those rings I showed you guys some time back that could amplify or negate power and magic? I have to get the rest of the rings. I have to manually perform the transfer myself. Plus, the rings would slow down my death."

"Tran, you keep talking about you dying. Exactly how would you die?" Austin asked.

"You guys remember how Celestia and Luna said that black magic is bad and inhumane? I'm tainted with black magic. Unless you are immortal, being tainted with black magic will kill you slowly. Black magic slowly eats away at your soul, slowly corrupting your mind. I may have a strong will but it will destroy my mind. That's what happened to Sombra. He was tainted with black magic."

"Sombra could have been already evil before his corruption" Twilight offered.

"No he wasn't. I know his previous identity before he went all evil. I won't tell you now as it is a story for another time."

The lot of us slowly walked to my bunker and Nick walked up to the door. Still sitting on Nick's shoulder, I handed down my set of keys to Nick and he opened the door before he handed me back my keys. The lot of us walked into my bunker (thank god that the ceilings in my house are eleven feet tall to compensate for my alicorn bipedal height, which was around nine feet (eleven and a half feet including my horn).

We walked into the armory and walked to where I kept my rings. The rings were in a case like they usually were and I took all of them and placed them in one pocket. I took off the two rings I wore that drained my power and replaced them with two rings that would amplify my power. I placed a few more rings on my fingers and had no effect. "Change of plans, I am done. I have absolutely no power left. I should have expected it; I'm barely alive as it is." I took the rings off of my fingers and placed them with the others in my pocket. I dug through my backpack and pulled out a medium sized bottle of distilled 170 proof saki. I took a swig of it before the bottle was yanked out of my hands by Andy.

"Tran, you're becoming more like the rest of our old family" he said to me. "This isn't you."

"I have my human metabolism instead of my demon one. Alcohol affects me now. Let me have this" I said while I tried to swipe the bottle back. Unfortunately, he kept it away from me. "Figures."

"We need you sober for this."

"I am going to succumb to the black magic. Before I do I'm blow out my brains with a .357 Python" I replied back. "And yes, that's one of the reason why I wanted your Python." I grabbed the bottle from Andy when he was listening to me and I took another swig from it. "I don't have long until the black magic in my body wins. Even if I don't die from the black magic, do you think someone can live with only a third of your soul? I have a strong will but I would eventually go insane from my fractured soul. The black magic would just make me go crazy or something." I took another swig from the bottle. "Unless any of you have a plan that to give me enough magical powers to equal Celestia's power, let me die slowly in peace. At the most, I have four hours left. At the least, an hour or two. I don't have much time left so just let me enjoy this."

"We can ask Princess Celestia for help. She might know how to solve this problem" Twilight offered.

"Go ahead. You guys can go. I'm just going to stay in my armory and have some fun on my indoor range." Nick set me down on a chair that was in front of a shooting lane of my range. I took my M4a1 out of my inventory as everyone left my bunker home. "Time to enjoy the time I have left" I said as I pulled the trigger to my M4a1. "Just leave the door unlocked."

Third Person Point Of View

The twelve elements left Tran's bunker home. Once they were outside, they immediately teleported to Twilight's library.

"SPIKE!!" Twilight yelled.

"What?” he replied back while walking down the stairs of Twilight's library.

"I need you to take a letter to Celestia."

"Alright. Hold on."

Tran's Point Of View

I dropped the current beta mag from my M4a1 and replaced it with a fresh, loaded one. I chambered a round and looked back to my range. I took aim and let loose a small burst of rounds.

"You have more potential than this." I let loose another burst of rounds and took a swig from my bottle of distilled saki. "One of the greatest warriors that have ever lived reduced to a powerless handicap." I stay silent as I listened to the voice in my head talk. "You could have taken over if it wasn't for your friends. They only held you back so you couldn't reach your full potential. They took away your powers so they can kill you." I emptied the rest of the beta mag my M4a1 was currently on and reached for my Colt Python. I unloaded five of the rounds then spun the chamber on my arm. I placed the muzzle of the Python on the side of my head and waited for the voice to reply. You should do something other than this. Trying to kill yourself. You own everything you wanted. Anyone that opposes, kill them. Aim the Python somewhere else and take action. I pulled back the hammer of the Python. I have more than enough power for you to take over. I can help you rule with an iron fist. I knew the voice in my head that was talking to me was really the black magic slowly corrupting my mind, telling me that I didn’t have much time left.

"I have a 16.66% chance of the bullet killing me" I pulled the trigger. *CLICK* "I don't believe that you have the power." *CLICK* "You can't claim something unless you can prove it." *CLICK* "And if you do, I doubt you are able to use it on me in my current state." *CLICK* "You know that I have a fifty-fifty chance of the dying right now?" I pulled the trigger again. *BOOM*

Third Person Point Of View

"... And I am not able to help you. With much condolences, Princess Celestia" Twilight concluded.

"So Tran is really going to die this time and not cause a false alarm" Nick said. "He's had a good run."

"I GOT IT!! DISCORD!!!" Fluttershy yelled.

"What?"

"Discord might know how to help Tran!" she explained.

Upon hearing this, everyone simultaneously teleported to Fluttershy's cottage. Inside Fluttershy's cottage, everyone saw Discord lying down on Angel's favorite spot on the couch while eating a bowl of paper.

"Oi. We need your help" Nick said.

"Oi? Are you deliberately trying to copy your friend, Tran?" Discord asked.

"No. There's this situation where Tran transferred part of his-" Nick said until he was interrupted.

"Ah. The old power transfer. Does it every time. Let me guess, he needs his power back? I'd think you guys would want to keep his powers away from him."

"It's more than that, he transferred part of his soul and dark magic is slowly corrupting him."

"WHAT?!?!? Don't you know about Sombra?!?" Discord said.

"Apparently, we are the only ones that don't. Tran told us about Sombra already. Do you know how to help Tran?"

"Of course I do. Why wouldn't I? I'm older than Celestia." Discord snapped his finger and the lot of them appeared outside of Tran's bunker. They walked into Tran's bunker home and descended down the floors until they reached the armory.

"Everyone smell that?" Austin asked.

"The smell of cordite that is burnt gunpowder?" Logan replied. "Wait. Look at that." Logan pointed to a Colt Python that was lying on the ground. He picked it up and opened the revolver chamber. "Guys, there's only a one round in here and its spent." He emptied the lone round from the revolver and held it out to show everyone.

"Tran, where are you?" Nick asked. As if on cue, two small cylindrical objects fell from the ceiling. "Every fucking chance, Tran uses a nonlethal grenade on us." *BOOM*

There are three reasons why stun grenades cause disorientation. First, when a flashbang detonates, it causes a bright flash that blinds everyone. How this happens is the bright flash causes the photoreceptors, the part of the eye that detects light, to activate. You know how that if you stare at the sun for a second, then look away, there is a white blotch in your vision? The flash of a flashbang causes your vision to only see the white blotch for a minimum of five seconds. The second reason why a flashbang causes you to be disorientated is the loud blast of the flashbang. This is pretty straightforward; the blast of the flashbang is loud enough to cause a temporary loss of hearing. The last reason why a flashbang causes you to be disorientated is the blast of the flashbang disrupts the perilymph of the ear. Perilymph is the fluid in the ear that helps keep balance. The resulting disruption of perilymph causes the body to temporarily lose balance.

Everyone, including Discord, was stumbling about from the flashbang. Right after the flashbang detonated, Tran dropped from the ceiling. Once everyone regained their tact, everyone looked at Tran. Something was different about Tran. Something barely noticeable. Then everyone realized that his eyes were once again completely pitch black, as if he had his full demon powers again.

"Tran, we got Discord to help you. He can-" Alex started until Tran punched Alex in the chest with both of his fist. The resulting attack caused Alex's shield vigor to shatter and dented the chest piece of his Onyx armor. This resulted in Alex being sent flying into a wall. Alex impacted a wall fifteen feet away and dented the wall, sending him into unconsciousness.

"It's too late for your friend. He belongs to me now" Tran said.

Nick attempted to grab Tran. Instead of being grabbed, Tran dropped down and swept Nick's legs, causing him to get knocked down to the ground.

Ike ran towards Tran and jumped into the air, performing a flying jump kick, one of Tran's favorite moves. Tran stood still directly in the path of Ike's flying jump kick. Right when Ike's foot was going to impact Tran in the face, Tran grabbed Ike's foot and slammed him into Nick, who just got off of the ground, causing him to get knocked back on the ground again.

Andy took out an M9 and fired a round at Tran only for Tran to dodge to the left and kicked the pistol out of his hands and up into the air. Tran caught the pistol out of the air and aimed at Andy's face. *CLICK* Luckily and against Andy's normal bad luck, the M9 jammed when he tried to shoot Andy with it. Before Andy could do anything else, the M9 was thrown at him and he was knocked out by the impact of the pistol.

Austin tried to shoot Tran with his new under barrel tranquilizer attachment from his MP5 which ended up with Tran dodging every shot. Austin dropped his MP5 and threw a right hook at Tran. Before his hook could connect with Tran's jaw, Tran caught his fist and grinned at him. Tran pushed away his fist before he grabbed Austin's shoulder and dropped kicked him in the chest causing Austin to be knocked into Nick.

Logan pulled out his tomahawk and a hatchet, standing in a defensive position as Tran approached him.

"Do you think you fools can defeat me? The lot of you may have part of Tran's powers but I have the original" Tran said. Logan attempted an attack on Tran with his tomahawk. Unfortunately, Tran's favorite fighting style defensive but he still likes the other styles. Tran ended up catching the tomahawk and grabbing his arm. Tran ripped the tomahawk out of Logan's grasp before he turned around and threw Logan over his shoulders. While midair, Tran threw Logan's tomahawk at him, impacting him in the chest.

Tran smirked as his handiwork only to get grabbed from behind by Nick. Despite the fact that Nick was two, maybe three times Tran's size, there was still a chance that Tran could defeat him, even in the current situation that he was in. Tran, still in Nick's hold, kicked his right leg up, hitting Nick squarely in the face. This caused Nick to lose his grasp on Tran as he was sent into a daze from getting kicked in the face. Before Nick could recover, Tran turned around and spinny kick Nick in the side of the head, causing him to get knocked to the ground again. Nick tried to get up but ended up with Tran punched him in the side of the head. Instead of trying to get up again, Nick grabbed one of Tran's legs and pulled him to the ground. This gave him enough time to get up while Tran fell to the ground. Nick attempted to pin Tran tot eh ground with his right leg only for Tran to grab his foot and twist it, causing Nick to fall over again. Tran got up before Nick could do anything else and punched him in the face again. This time, Tran actually managed to knock Nick out.

Seeing as Tran just knocked out his human friends, Rainbow Dash and Applejack approached Tran, carefully watching his moves so that they could dodge if Tran tried anything. However, this didn't really do anything as previously stated that Tran's favorite fighting style was defensive. Tran watched the two ponies as they circled him. Nothing happened until Rainbow Dash attempted to punch Tran in the chest. However, Tran grabbed her hoof and threw her into a wall. Instead of impacting, Rainbow Dash used her wings to stabilize herself midair and she flew back to the fight. Applejack attempted to buck Tran but he dodged it and punch Applejack in the size with both fist, similar to what he did to Alex. The result was Applejack was sent flying into a wall, as Alex did. Instead of watching Applejack slam into a wall, Tran turned around and dodged a punch sent from Rainbow Dash. Before she could pull her hoof back, Tran grabbed it and knocked her to the ground. Before she could get up, Tran grabbed both of her legs and slammed her into a wall.

Dropping Rainbow Dash, Tran looked to the remaining elements and Discord, who was snapping his fingers during the entire fight, and said "If your friends weren't able to defeat me, what makes you think that you are able to? Plus, none of you won't be able to use your magic in here; the place is enchanted so that no one else can use their magic. That means your snaps are pointless Discord." Tran slowly walked towards the remaining elements but before he did anything, he stopped and grabbed his head with both hands. "I'm back. I'm back" Tran said before he collapsed on the floor.

In Tran's Subconscious Right Before The Fight

"Trapped in my own damn mind because of the same dark magic that corrupted Luna and Sombra thousands of years ago. At least I'm still chewing gum" I said while blowing a bubble. The bubble right popped right before a figure materialized in front of me. This figure seemed familiar to me. Wait. This figure was me in my Nightmare form. I reached for a weapon but found nothing where they usually were. "What do you want?" I asked.

"I am letting you know that your friends are being slaughter as they attempt to fight me" the figure said.

"I'm going to guess that you are a manifestation of the dark magic that has been tainting my soul. Tell me, how does it feel to know that I will soon take control of my body again and eliminate you from my body?" I asked.

"Exactly how is that going to happen? The only way for that to work is if you defeat me in combat. If you try, you will lose. I know all of your abilities and moves. Anything you know, I can do. It would be utterly pointless for you to try" the figure said.

"You forgot one thing. You don't mess with Tran" I said. I ran towards the figure and attempted to punch him in the face. Unfortunately, he grabbed my fist and attempted to throw me over his shoulder. Luckily, I reacted fast enough and counter his throw by kicking him in the chest. This knocked him back a few feet but he recovered fast enough to run forward and attempt to head but me in the stomach. I side stepped and watch as he ran literally towards nowhere, as the current environment of my subconscious was completely white and blank. He stopped running and he moved back to where I was.

The two of us stared at each other, waiting for one of us to perform the first move so we could counter. Instead, the two of us just stood there watching each other, barely doing anything else. I knew I would have to change my usual style to something else as he was assuming my usual defensive position. I smiled at him as I remembered a few things from some books that I read long ago. I held both of my arms wide open, leaving me vulnerable to attacks, especially in the current situation. The figure rushed forward and attempted to punch me in the face but before his fist could impact me in the face, I bent down backwards and grabbed his arm. Still holding his arm, I stood back up and threw him over my shoulders.

The figure stood back up again and ran towards me. Right when he got close enough, he attempted to punch me. To retaliate, I grabbed his arm and prepared to throw him again. Right when he was over my shoulder when he was being thrown he grabbed my arm with his other hand and slammed me into the ground.

I got back up as he charged at me again. This time, he actually managed to punch me in the face, causing me to get knocked to the ground again. He approached me again with an all too familiar smirk on his face, my smirk. He raised his right foot up above my face.

"Any last words?" the figure asked.

"Eenope." He stomped his foot down. Instead of his foot impacted my face, I grabbed his foot with both of my hands and knocked him to the ground. Before he got up, I quickly crawled over to him and started to punch him in the face like I did to the last griffon from the invasion of Ponyville yesterday. Soon, the figure slowly started to disappear as I pounded his face in. A few more punches happened and his body fully disappeared. I slowly started to take over my body again. I knew I took back my body again when I saw the unconscious forms of my friends and part of the Mane Six. Almost immediately, I felt the dark magic try to take over again as I grabbed my head.

"I'm back. I'm back" I said before I collapsed on the floor. I was breathing heavily before everything went black and I lost consciousness again.

Third Person Point Of View

The still conscious members of the Mane Six and Discord looked at Tran's unconscious body lying on the ground.

"Now that was something" Discord said.

"We have to get Tran and the others out of here to perform the transfer before he wakes up. Who knows what he might do next time" Twilight said.

The ones that remained conscious and unharmed slowly and manually lifted the unconscious people and ponies outside of Tran's bunker. Once outside, Discord started to draw several symbols on the ground with his hand.

"Discord, why are you drawing?" Fluttershy asked.

"An archaic circle. This is the only way I can do the transfer. I need to finish this fast. I am actually afraid of what Tran will do to me if he wakes up." Discord soon finished the archaic circle. The entire circle was twenty-five feet in diameter. On the outsides of the circle was twelve equally distanced smaller circles that were a foot in diameter. Then Discord teleported Tran into the center of it and the twelve elements, unconscious or not, into each of the smaller twelve circles.

"Is this going to hurt?" Fluttershy asked, her voice sounding more void of emotion, signifying that she was becoming more like Tran.

"It's only going to be as bad as a shot from the doctor" Discord said. "Maybe a few thousand needles all at once from the doctor."

Discord snapped his fingers and the archaic circle lit up in a deep red light.  The light started to glow brighter as the twelve elements started to grow black auras. The black auras that surrounded the twelve elements soon flew into Tran. After a few minutes, the twelve elements no longer had black auras and Tran was in his Devil Trigger form.

The elements that were still knocked out slowly regained consciousness as the ritual was completed. The lot of them noticed what they were standing on and they looked around until they saw a still unconscious Tran lying in the middle of the archaic circle, still in full Demon Trigger form.

"D-d-did it work?" Fluttershy asked. This time, her voice showed the natural amount of fear and shyness, showing that the influence of Tran in her mind was gone. She still feared whether or not Tran was going to kill them in an evil possessed state from black magic.

The twelve elements stared at Tran's body until it completely disappeared in a puff of black smoke. Once the cloud of black smoke disappeared, two flashbangs were able to be visibly seen.

"NOT AGAIN!!" everyone yelled. *BOOM* Again, everyone was sent disorientated and sent moving about. Once everyone regained their eyesight and hearing they looked to where the flashbangs used to be, seeing a Tran back in his normal dormant form. His eyes were still pitch black but this time, his face wasn't like when he was corrupted by the black magic.

"Does that answer your question whether or not it worked" Tran said while popping a piece of gum in his mouth.

Tran's Point Of View

"Does that answer your question whether or not it worked" I said while popping a piece of gum in my mouth. I started to chew on the gum as the small wounds that were present on chest quickly healed. "And yes, I'm back to normal."
