I stood in front of my twelve friends in my dormant Nightmare form with the Sparda unsheathed. I spun my sword around the air for a few seconds before I swung at the tree closest to me. I pulled my sword away and started resheathing my sword until *CLINK* the tree that I slashed slowly started to tip until it completely fell down. "It is good to be back."

Some noises came from some nearby bushes and ten of us that owned a projectile weapon aimed our weapons at the bush while Rarity and Twilight lit up their horns. I was aiming Yin and Yang at the bush. "Oi. Whoever it is, come out. If you’re a griffon, we'll only arrest you. If you are anyone else, we won't hurt you much" I said.

"Remember me?" a voice answered.

"Ruby, get out of the bush. Why are you hiding? Wait, what happened to Mitta?" I asked back.

"Well..." another voice said.

"Just step out of the fucking bush" Alex said.

Two alicorns stepped out of the bush. The two of them represented the alicorns that we fought Hearth's Warming Eve except the two of them didn't have magical auras that signified how powerful they were nor a free flowing mane like the two princesses. Almost immediately, lots of clicking was head from my friends, mostly from my six friends' guns and Applejack pumping her crossbow. I recognized the two alicorns and lowered my two custom pistols. "Lower your weapons."

"Have you seen what the two of them look like? They could try to kill us" Ike said.

"Oi. I know these two. Now lower the guns." The twelve of them eventually lowered their guns but they still glared at the two alicorns.

"Do you have any idea about us being alicorns?" Ruby asked.

"Well, two days ago, we killed citizens of Sunny Town that attempted to kill us, right?"

"Yes but there's something we still have yet to tell you. Sunny Town is still has other citizens. The town is still there in the Everfree Forest" Mitta replied.

"Lupae filius (son of a bitch [Latin]). That's going to be something we'll have to deal with later. The two of you are alicorns because when we killed them, the power that they still had in their souls had to go somewhere else because the spell that they used was still active. Everyone that was present within the spell's range gained enough power to turn themselves into alicorns, i.e. the two of you, a hundred fifty citizens of Ponyville, and my friends right here. I already handled my friends as you can see" I said. I walked over to the two of them. I placed my right hand on her head and closed my eyes.

"Ummm. What are you doing to my daughter?" Mitta asked. I held up my other hand and one finger, indicating that she should wait.

I pulled my hand away and looked at her. "You are not alicorns because of my power. You are alicorns because the dark magic of the eighty blood hooves present in the two of you." Mitta and Ruby's eyes widened while everyone, minus me, raised their weapons again. “Oi. Enough with the brandishing nonsense. It's starting to get annoying."

"They're evil!" Twilight said.

"Oi. Their soul is just evil. Their nature and state of mind is good. I can tell" I said.

"How can you tell that? They could have intentions like their friends."

"For one thing, my soul is evil yet I have good intentions. Two, before the attack on the town, they warned me of their old friends. Three, I don't need a third reason, why would I? Four, I'm now just wasting your time for no reason. Five, they haven't tried to attack us yet. Six, they didn't fight us a few days ago" I explained. "Now lower the guns already." They eventually lowered their guns but I knew that the most of Mane Six and some of my human friends would not trust them yet. "Now I don't know about you guys but I want to leave the Everfree Forest and deal with the 154 alicorns running around Ponyville and get the other nineteen percent of my soul."

I teleported to the market and started walking. By now, the damages from yesterday and the day before had been repaired. The Ponyville citizens did a good job cleaning up the carnage but they missed some things. For one thing, there were still bullet holes in some buildings and there were still griffon bodies around.

I walked up to a dead body and poked it. Slowly, the body started to turned gray until it was completely drained of its previous colors before the corpse turned into dust and was blown away by the wind. I repeated the process with the rest of the bodies until they were all gone and the only thing left that reminded people of the battles were the bullet holes present in some buildings.

After I was finished with that, I restarted my walk. Throughout my walk, I saw the alicorns that I helped created. They were either flying around constantly crashing into obstacles like Derpy, working behind stalls because being an alicorn didn't affect them and they went along with their normal lives, using magic irresponsibly doing something like raising the sun, or randomly using telekinesis. The children that were alicorns were easily distinguishable from the adult alicorns because of their smaller size than a normal alicorn despite them being the size of a normal pony. Everyone that was an alicorn was a magical alicorn of power. They didn't have magical auras but they still had the build and size of a magical alicorn. I walked up to an alicorn behind a market stall and said "Hi Carrot Top. How's being an alicorn?"

"Terrible. I tried flying and crashed four times. I tried magic and blew up a bucket of carrots. I hit my horn on a door frame and it felt like you were torturing me similar to what you did to those changelings from the invasion of Ponyville."

"Okay. Enough with small talk. I gotta turn 154 ponies back into their normal forms. Hold still Carrot Top." I placed my hand on Carrot Tops head and she slowly started to shrink in size. When she was the size of a normal pony, her horns and wings slowly started to face away until they were nonexistent. I took my hand off of her head and looked at her directly. She was a normal earth pony again. "Great. Just 153 more ponies and my job is finished. By Carrot Top!"

Then an explosion happened in the background. The explosion wasn't like an anfo IED made by an amateur, more like the MK84 drop bombs used on military aircraft. Other than my friends, I only knew of one group of people that were able to cause this much destruction. I teleported to where the explosion originated and saw one thing, the CMC, including their two their two new additions, with charred fur. "What was the cutie mark attempt this time?"

"Magical pyrotechnics" Sweetie Belle said while producing a smile.

"The five of you will soon be the cause of the destruction of Ponyville one day. Sweetie Belle, I'm going to guess that you tried using your magic and failed horribly with the power of an alicorn's power. Scootaloo, I'm going to guess that you tried flying but only succeeded in crashing in a bunch of trees because you didn't know how to properly fly. The rest of you, I'm going to guess that you had similar results as Scootaloo or Sweetie Belle. Am I right?"

The five of the CMCs nodded, answering my question. "Now hold still. I have to turn the five of you back into your nonalicorn states. Before any of you say anything, I will take it back, forced or not." I repeated the process that I performed on Carrot Top on the five of them and they were back in their original races. "Besides, the world wouldn't be able to survive the destructive power of the lot of you. Now if any of you need me, I have to go and turn the other alicorns back into ponies."

I walked off towards Ponyville when one of them tackled me and clung to the back of my head. I brought my hands to the back of my head and pulled the filly off of my head. "Sweetie Belle?"

"Tran, can we come with you? Pleeeeeeeeaaaaassssse" she said while putting on a puppy dog face.

"We?" I turned around and saw the other four CMCs with puppy dog faces. "You can join me. Just try not to cause any trouble." I started to walk again until Diamond Tiara walked up to me and grabbed my leg. I stopped and looked at her. "Yes?"

"Can you carry me?" she asked back.

"No."

"But why? I just got a hooficure."

"DT, you can walk."

"But I just got a hooficure."

"DT, you can't always have everything the way you want. If you always get what you want, you won't accomplish much and you won't be remembered for good reasons. If you are a hard worker, you will accomplish much more than anyone else. Look at me. I work very hard in my life and look where it’s brought me to. A multi-billionaire, one of the smartest beings on this planet, one of the most skilled fighters, Equestrian Star, I have respect from others, and a lot of people are my friends. Plus, no one messes with me." Diamond Tiara opened her mouth to say something but she closed her mouth when she realized that she didn't have anything she could use as a rebuttal. She didn't say anything as the six of us walked into town.

Once the six of us made it into the town, I was immediately tackled down by a stallion alicorn. He looked a lot like one of the guards that I denied training long ago. "Oi. What do you want?"

"You denied me my training and caused my discharge. You're going to pay for it." The stallion's horn lit up and he pulled a mace from his back.

"I don't have time for this." I stood back up and grabbed the stallion by the throat before I retook my power back from him. "This is almost too easy." The stallion that tried to attack me was a black maned yellow pegasus with a cutie mark of a mace. I looked forward to check for anyone flying and saw no one. Then I threw him off into the distance towards the Everfree Forest.

The five CMCs walked up to me and Scootaloo asked "Ummm. Should I ask?"

"In normal cases, yes. In my case or Pinkie's case, never ask and you will stay remotely sane." I started walking again, still being followed by the five CMCs, still confused. "I'm surprised that you haven't learned that I will never be normal."

Soon, I was back in the market of the town from the walking, despite the fact that the entire time I was walking, I could have teleported. By now, it was the early afternoon and the work day has yet ended. Alicorns and ponies were still roaming/flying about. I walked up to a blond maned red alicorn that was pulling a cart of apples.

"Hi Big Mac. How's being an alicorn treating you?" I asked.

"Eeyup" he said back.

"That wasn't even a yes or no question."

"Ah know. And tah answer yahr question, being ah alicorn is helpful wit dah strength an all. Cut mah workload right en haf" Big Mac explained.

"Well I'm going to have to change you back into a normal earth pony. Now hold still."

"Now wait a gosh darn minute. Why should ah give up bein ah alicorn?"

"For starters, the reason you're an alicorn is because you have a piece of my soul and power and I want it back. Also, if you refuse, I will forcefully take you down and change you back. The two of us knows who would lose and who would win. You may have power from being alicorn but you literally have a tiny fraction of what I have. Plus, I still have all my weapons. I'm not trying to be mean but I have to change you back or there will be some complications to my fractured soul and your body's long term acceptance to black/dark magic." I placed my hand on Big Mag's head, despite him being seven and a half feet tall without his horn. The process was finished in a matter of seconds and Big Mac was returned to his former Earth Pony self. Once I was finished with Big Mac, I started to walk off to another alicorn, still followed by the CMC.

The rest of the day went by without a hitch. Turning the current alicorns of Ponyville was relatively simple. The process to turn them back into an alicorn was a simple power drain that could be done with any type of magic, evil or not. Most of the ponies that were alicorns simply volunteered to be turned back into alicorns as they didn't want to be burdened with being an alicorn because saying this again, getting injured on the horn or wing is like a man getting injured in the testicles but much more painful. Then there were the alicorns that didn't want to change back into their previous normal selves because they wanted magic or wings. The ones that did were incredibly annoying and tried to fight back, most of the time losing because of power superiority or simply them injuring themselves because suddenly turning into another species isn't easy to get used to. In fact, very few of them actually managed to get close to a hit on me and the ones that did, did not leave unscathed. The most annoying ponies that wanted to stay an alicorn Snips and Snails. Not trying to be mean, but those two are a bit slow. When they tried to keep their powers, they only ended up trying to retaliate using magic and using simple combat spells that were all mainly explosions or simple knockout spells. The two being Snips and Snails with no experience with magic, they literally hit everything with a spell except for their intended target, me, despite using over a hundred spells which ended up in creating a giant charred circle on the ground with a small black outline of my feet imprinted into the ground. A perfect outline of my feet actually, which was still strange because either  Snips or Snails had really bad luck or I was one incredibly lucky being, or both. Most likely both because even I don't know everything about me and I'm me.

By the time I turned the last alicorn back into a pony it had only passed a little under three hours. The CMC that followed me had already left by the time I was down to the last fifty alicorns because of boredom of watching me repeat a process to a hundred other ponies. The only filly that decided to stay with me was Scootaloo.

At the current moment, the two of us were walking through Ponyville, towards Twilight's library.

"Hey Scootaloo" I said.

"Yes?" she replied.

"Remember when I was giving everyone's presents for Hearth's Warming Eve, I said that I had a third present for you that I have yet to give you? I think it’s time for that gift" I explained. "Now come over here and hold still." When she got closer to me, I placed my left hand on her head. Ten seconds passed before I pulled my hand away.

"What did that do?" Scootaloo asked.

"Right now, you shouldn't be able to feel it but you should be able to see it. Scootaloo, look at your wings" I explained.

"Hmm?" Scootaloo turned and looked at her backside. Instead of her usual small deformed wings, on her back was a set of wings that was perfectly sized for her body. The second she saw her wings, her jaw fell down and she started flapping them. She left the ground at a speed that would be categorized in the "Rainbow Dash is a snail" category. Before she could fly away, I grabbed her by the midsection and held her in my arms.

"Oi. Don't try to use them; it will only end up in the same results as when you tried to fly as an alicorn. And yes, those are fully functioning wings."

"OH THANK YOU!  THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! OH MY GOSH!! I CAN FLY!! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO THANK YOU AND I WANT TO START FLYING AWAY BUT YOU TOLD ME NOT TO BUT I STILL WANT TO FLY! ARE YOU GOING TO TEACH ME TO FLY?!?!? OH I REALLY WANT TO FLY RIGHT NOW BUT I CAN'T BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO THANK YOU LITTLE BROTHER!!! EXACTLY WHEN- MMMMMPPPPPPPFFFFFHHHHHH" she ranted until she was interrupted by me covering her mouth with my hand.

"When I take my hand off of your mouth, I want you to stop talking so I can get my word in. Okay?" I moved my hand off of her mouth and she was had a grin that rivaled Pinkie Pie. "Yes you can fly. No you shouldn't try to fly yet. Unfortunately, you don't know how to fly and you need to learn how to properly fly or you'll just end up crashing into everything or flying sideways. Fortunately, I'm going to teach you how to fly. Anything you want to add in?"

Scootaloo went up and hugged me. "You're the most awesomest pony ever."

"Scootaloo, you have more than the ability to fly. Do you know how you have wings now?" I asked.

"What are you talking about?"

"I mean, do you know how I gave you your wings back?"

"Ummm, no?"

"Scootaloo, the reason why you have working wings right now is because you have a small part of my powers. Exactly .25% of my powers actually. It doesn't seem much as I only gave you only a quarter of percent of my powers but in reality, it is a lot. It’s not enough to turn you into a powerful magical alicorn goddess with a power level equaling Celestia's but you will turn into something superhuman. I do have the powers of four demon gods coursing through my veins. The small chunk of powers I gave you was enough to give you your wings back and then some. You now have demon speed and demon strength. It’s not as much speed and strength as mine but you'll notice the difference."

"I have demon strength and speed? Prove it." I looked at Scootaloo and blinked a few times before I sat on her back. Scootaloo didn't flinch or buckle under my weight. At the current moment, I weighed 120 pounds and I was wearing forty pounds in gear and clothes which meant that Scootaloo was currently carrying nearly four times her weight, about 45 pounds. "Never mind."

"Scootaloo, let’s run to Twilight's library" I said.

"You want to race. Think you can beat me?” she said back.

"Scootaloo, I'm not trying to race you, I just want to get to Twilight's library. Plus, I would beat you in a race. I can run at six times the speed of sound of course I can beat you in a race."

I started to slowly jog towards Twilight's library with Scootaloo still following me. "Let’s see how fast I can go!" Scootaloo said before she took off in a sprint.

"Oi. I said I didn't want to race" I yelled out.

"I'm not racing. I'm just running" Scootaloo said in the distance. I increased my jogging speed to catch up with Scootaloo and lowered it when I was trailing only a few feet before her. While the two of us were running, I noticed how fast she was going. Ponies can ran at a top speed of twenty-something miles an hour, with an exception with Equestria's fastest runner record at thirty-six miles an hour. Scootaloo was going eighty-two miles an hour. When Twilight's library was only a few miles away, Scootaloo turned around and said "We're almost there!"

"WATCH OUT FOR THE- never mind. Too late." While turning around, Scootaloo didn't see a dandelion stand that was placed right in front of her. When she turned around, she attempted to run around it and nearly succeeded, if it wasn't for the stand leg that she trip on.

Scootaloo flew through the air as a result from tripping while running at eighty miles an hour. She ended up going through a small stand selling small celery stalks (try to say those six words three times fast) hat was placed within a close distance of the stand she tripped on. After going through the small stand selling small celery stalks (seriously, try saying those six words three times fast), she tumbled around on the ground before she ended up going through the front window of a quills and sofa store. In the store, instead of crashing and landing into a sofa, she stopped when she hit the wall, making a loud cracking noise that was the all too familiar sound of bones breaking.

I jumped through the broken window front of the shop and looked at Scootaloo. Using the X-ray feature of my glasses, I scanned her body to see the extent of her injuries. She had two broken front legs from crashing through the small stand selling small celery stalks (I'm actually serious, try saying those six words three times fast), four broken ribs, two cracked ribs, and one bruised rib from impacted the wall of the store, a fractured skull from impacted the wall of the store, a broken front right ankle from when she tripped, and her skull had some light fractures. To add insult to injury, she was bleeding all over and she had pieces of glass and wood imbedded on most of her body. To add strangeness to this situation, Scootaloo was somehow still conscious, barely though.

Some ponies had started to crowd up around her as I crouched down over her and rolled up my sleeves. I removed the glass shards and wood bits that were imbedded in her body as Scootaloo groaned in pain. Then I took out some gauze and wrapped it around the wounds that were bleeding. That was basically all I needed to do.

I lifted her up and into my arms, carrying her in my right arm. I went up to the shopkeeper of the shop and handed him ten gold bits.

"You need to take her to the hospital!" the shopkeeper said.

"No she doesn't. She just needs time" I said back.

"Look at her!"

"She just needs time. You don't know her like I do."

I walked out of the store and to the owner of the stand that Scootaloo destroyed and handed her ten gold bits. I looked around and saw that some ponies were starting to crowd around me, noticing Scootaloo in my arms. I still looked around, as I was able to see over their heads because I was still nearly twice their height. When I spotted Twilight's library.

I ran the rest of the way to Twilight's library and into the door. "Hi Tran.  How did- HOLY CELESTIA!! WHAT HAPPENED TO SCOOTALOO!??!"

"Don't worry, she's fine" I said back.

"Look at her!"

"She's fine. Trust me."

"But look at her!"

"Since when am I wrong?"

"But..." Twilight just stared at me since she obviously knew the answer; she still thought I needed to get her help.

"Exactly. Now I came here for a reason. I need a piece of paper to write a letter to Celestia." Twilight went upstairs while I started to dig through my backpack. I pulled out a pencil as Twilight came down with some parchment.

"What are you going to right to Celestia?" Twilight asked.

"Something about the griffons, you don't need to worry about it." I snapped my fingers and the letter was sent to Celestia like how it usually was. I knew Celestia would answer soon so I went over to Scootaloo to check her wounds. I lifted up the gauze I wrapped around her hoof and looked at where a previous gash was, only to see that it had already healed up. I removed the rest of the gauze and saw that all her other wounds had already healed up.

I dug through my backpack and took out a bottle of water. I popped off the top and poured it on her face. "OI! WAKE UP!"

"*SPUTTER SPUTTER* WHAT?!? WHAT'S GOING ON?!?" Scootaloo yelled out.

"Oi. You were running and you tripped" I replied.

"Oh yeah. Heh heh. How am I fine? I thought I had a bunch of broken bones and a ton of injuries."

"Scootaloo, you have an advanced metabolism and quickened regeneration. You'll be fine. Those injuries were nothing compared to what would actually be an injury to you."

"Tran, what are you talking about?" Twilight asked.

"Nothing you need to know about. It's something that's only for between the two of us."

*CRACK* A letter popped into existence and landed on my head before resting on the ground. I picked it up and started to read it. "Dear Tran. Blah blah blah. Griffons. Blah blah blah. Ambassador coming soon. Blah blah blah. Griffon Nation angry. Blah blah blah. Still want us to surrender. Blah blah blah. Might need peace conference in Griffon Nation. Blah blah blah. Sincerely, Princess Celestia. Well that didn't say much." I crushed the letter into a ball and threw it into a waste bin. "Well the griffons are angry and they are sending their ambassadors to Equestria. Tomorrow they come. You might know one of the ambassadors."

"Really? Who?" Twilight asked.

"Who do you know that is a conceited, arrogant braggart that isn't Rainbow Dash who also happens to be a griffon? I'll give you a hint. IT'S GILDA YOU IDIOT! What other griffon do you know? Use logic and common sense. It was obvious if you did. Not trying to insult you but it was obvious unless you know anyone else that's a griffon. I know you don't know any other griffons Twilight. I kinda know everything."

"Gilda? GILDA?!? DO YOU KNOW WHO GILDA IS!?!?!" Twilight yelled in response. I looked at Twilight for a few seconds for her to realize what she was saying. "Umm. Sorry about that."

"Exactly." *CRACK* Another letter popped into existence and yet again landed on my head. I picked it up and started to read it. "Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Sincerely, Princess Celestia. Well Twilight, the griffons are coming as fast as they can because they heard how most of their invasion of Ponyville and attempt to take out the six of you elements failed horribly. They are really mad. Really, really mad."

"How fast is ‘as fast as they can’?" Twilight asked.

I walked over to the window and looked out of it. "Well, about right now."

The three of us walked out of the library and watched as a group of thirty griffons landed. Twenty of them were carrying the revolver rifles we encountered during the invasion while five others were heavily armored and were carrying blunderbusses. The last five weren't armored and were dressed up in formal clothing, as they were clearly the diplomats.

The three of us walked up to the lot of them and they immediately aimed their guns at us. "Oi. Diplomatic missions are supposed to be peaceful."
