I went to Scootaloo's room after I got dressed and saw that she was peacefully sleeping in her room. I looked at a wall mounted clock and saw that it was ten in the morning. I smiled and pulled out Yin, firing a round into the ceiling. This sent Scootaloo scrambling around in her bed as the small enclosed space made the gunshot seem louder than it was and how she was an equine with hearing four times more sensitive than humans. "TRAN!! ARE YOU INSANE?!?!" she yelled. I looked at her for a few seconds to realize what she had just said. "Oh yeah." Scootaloo got out of bed and yawned. Again with the adorableness. "So. What's with the early wake up?" she asked.

"It's Winter Wrap Up Scoots" I replied.

Scootaloo looked at the clock before she quickly started to dress up in Winter clothing and darted towards the door. "I'M GOING TO BE LATE FOR THE MUSICAL!!!"

Oh god. More singing magic. At least I'm immune. Unfortunately, my friends aren't. Instead of letting Scootaloo run out the door, I dashed to her and grabbed her, holding her in the air. "Scootaloo, you have to watch your speed. You were running at ninety miles an hour. I don't want you running into a tree and breaking you ribcage and fracturing your skull again. The last efew times weren't pleasant. You may have partial demon aspects but you are still getting hurt. Plus, I can get you to town for the musical before it starts. I am Tran."

Still holding on to Scootaloo, I teleported into town at the local park. The citizens of Ponyville were already gathered outside and were getting prepared. I looked around and spotted a my friends, milling about along with the Mane Six. I walked over to Logan. "Um Logan. You do know what day it is right?" I asked.

"It's Winter Wrap up. Who doesn't know?" Logan replied.

"And?" I further asked.

"And what?" he asked back.

I smiled, knowing what was going to happen and how he was going to hate it. "It's Winter Wrap up, right?" Logan nodded. "Every year, they have a big ole musical with everyone singing along. Remember how it also affects the six of you guys and not me, meaning you have to sing with Andy, Austin, and Alex. You know, the people that annoy the life out of you" I explained.

Logan's face immediately dropped into one of anger, now knowing what was going to happen. "OH FU-"

"Three months of winter coolness, and awesome holidays."

"We've kept our hoofsies warm at home, time off from work to play."

"But the food we've stored is running out, and we can't grow in this cold."

I watch and heard my friends sing together with the ponies. They sang the actual lyrics of the song instead of something that would fit them. The entire time I was standing, watching this, I was laughing at my friends, and recording the whole ordeal with my glasses. I took out my newly modified 870 shotgun and loaded two 3.5 inch shotgun shells that were Hollywood style blanks that was meant to be AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE. I waited until the final lyrics were sung and then I fired a blank into the air. The extra loud gunshot caught everyone's attention as nearly everyone were ponies and they had hearing four times more sensitive than humans. Everyone that was a pony was rubbing their head/ears while my six friends just looked at me.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU DO THAT EARLIER!?!?!?" Logan yelled at me.

"Because then I wouldn't be able to record all of that" I replied.

"You WHAT?!?"

"Yes. I recorded it. No I'm going to delete it. You know you won't be able to bribe/fight/take/persuade me cause I'm Tran" I said.

Twilight trotted to me and said "What was for?!?"

"Nothing" I replied. I turned to face Alex. "Come on Alex! Let's melt the snow with our flamethrowers!" I took out the gun of my backpack flamethrower and lit the pilot light. Alex took out his flamethrower and lit the pilot light.

"Oh no" everyone said.

-X-X-X-

So far, Winter Wrap Up was going on like it did in the episode. Twilight was, again, organizing everything, Fluttershy was taking care of animals, Rainbow Dash was with the weather team, Pinkie Pie was ice skating once again cutting the sheets of ice, Applejack was in charge of animals, and Rarity was in charge of decorations. Nick was helping Fluttershy wake up animals contrary to what many thought what he would do but Nick was a gentle giant unless you pissed him off or harmed Fluttershy, Alex was melting snow with his flamethrower par his choice and the fact that he was Alex with a flamethrower, Logan was breaking the frozen lakes with IEDs except for the one Pinkie Pie was skating on because she wanted to have fun while working, Andy was trying break the ice by telling jokes (he was trying to crack em up) but it didn't work so he resorted to anger and stomping, Ike was helping plow the snow at the farms, and Austin was helping Rarity make baskets. I was sitting in the snow, floating up a ball of dark magic, not helping with manually changing Winter.

"Tran, why don't you help?" Twilight asked.

I looked at her, then back to the ball of dark magic I was holding up. I sighed before I said "Twilight, I don't like Winter. I wear two jackets in the Summer. Plus, I'm a Nightmare being. I could have a negative effect with the environment and its natural harmonic balance that allows you to manually change Winter. Back in our universe, Winter changed itself. Plus, I don't enjoy working or being around anyone I don't know."

"Wait, wait, wait. Now of all times, your behind shy? How about talking in front of a crowd that one time there was an angry mob after you?" Twilight asked.

"Twilight. I am somewhat normal underneath my violent exterior. We all are. We were, at one point, normal. Look at me and Nick, Twilight. We're both shy. We were able to stand new ponies because the lot of you are some of the cutest beings to exist. However, since we've been spending so much time settling in Equestria, we're becoming local. We're turning back into our old selves. Haven't you noticed how Nick hasn't been going into town as much as he was a month ago? Or how I have been spending more time in my workshop? Andy and the others haven't been affected as much as Nick and I have been trying to avoid social time with anyone we don't know."

"Tran, now how do you run your store?" Twilight asked.

"That's one of the reasons why I made Logan my apprentice" I replied.

"Tran, can you at least help with Winter Wrap Up? You do live in Ponyville" Twilight asked.

"Twilight, I don't live in Ponyville, I live in the Everfree forest, I just spend a lot of my time in Ponyville" I replied.

"Oh just help out already."

"Okay. I'll help if you go along with me."

-X-X-X-

Twilight and I were walking outwards from town as we were looking for a task to

"And one idiot tries to take a bystander as a hostage so he takes outs a knife but what happens? He drops the knife!" I didn't recognize the voice so I look in the direction of where the voice came from. "Now, I'm being trained by those retarded monkeys from the book series wrote by Princess Twilight Sparkle."

Oh how he was completely oblivious to the fact that I was listening to him. I don't think he believe in me or my friend's skills so lets demonstrate a few of them to him. I motioned for Twilight to stay where she was and I slowly approached him from behind. The pony that was spewing the slaims was a large pegasus with a heavy muscular build. I remember the stallion in Alex's unit. The four ponies he was trying to impress were mares that I recognize as the background characters, Lilly, Rose, Daisy, and Sassaflash. Why do I know so many of the background character's names? I'm Tran.

"You know, I bet I could take on any of those monkeys, even the big one and the Cannibal too" the stallion continued on. "I have the skill. At any point of time, I could take one of them out."

Oh how he reminded me so much of Trixie. I turned myself invisible without snapping my fingers as I usually did and snuck up behind him.

"Those seven humans are just mere childs and they've never received any form of real military training at all yet Princess Celestia thought it was a good idea for us Royal Guards to be trained by them."

"But aren'y they the most powerful beings that exist in Equestria?" Lilly asked.

"I think thats a lie that came from Princess Twilight's book. I mean really, somepony that can run at several times the speed of sound? That's a lie. I've never seen one of them that could get near a fraction of that speed."

"Are you saying that the books are fake?" Sassaflash asked.

Now was a good time to turn visible again. Once I was visible, the four mares in front of him dropped their jaws and stared at me while the royal guard was still talking to the mares.

"What is it? See something you like?" the stallion asked.

I tapped the stallion on the back and he turned around. "You said that at any point in time, you were able to take me on?" I asked. "Go ahead and try. My confirmed kills count is only at a mere 40,000. I believed yours was at eight. Right? I only have five thousand times the kills than you." I lifted the stallion up in the air by his throat and looked to the mares. "You three shouldn't believe anything that is spouted by any member of the Royal Guard. They are all liars, idiots, and conceited." The three mares ran trotted off, leaving me alone with the stallion until Twilight trotted over.

Twilight up to the stallion and said "You are hereby discharged from the Royal Guard and all previous services will be audited."

"You can't do this!" the stallion said back.

"I'm one of the rulers of Equestria and my friend here is one of the most dangerous and powerful beings in existance. Of course I can." Wow. Twilight likes to use her title and power. The two of us walked off, leaving the stallion in a stuttering and bumbling mess.

The two of us continued onto finding someone to help. There wasn't much help needed as everyone was able to do everything quickly and efficiently, due to Twilight's organization skills. However, there was still other small tasks needed so we headed for the group leaders, starting with Fluttershy.

Fluttershy was in the middle of waking up animals with a bell that was being held in her mouth. I snuck up behind her and poked her in on her back on the area between the wings. Fluttershy dropped the bell in her mouth befor she flipped over and fell on her back, much like a fainting goat would do when surprised so I picked her up and placed her back on her feet. "Oi. It's me, Tran."

"Oh. Hi Tran. You scared me a bit. What can I help you with?" Fluttershy said.

"Not much. I'm just seeing if you needed any help with anything and whatnot" I replied.

"Oh, there's not many animals left to wake up. Well, there is a few but nopony else wants to wake them up" Fluttershy replied.

"What are they?" Twilight asked.

"Well the ursas still need someone to wake them up" Fluttershy replied.

"Correct me if I heard you wrong, but did you say ursa?" I asked.

Twilight looked at me puzzled as if I just performed a Pinkie Pie. "Tran, how in the world did you hear that? I didn't hear that and you said that us ponies have hearing four times more sensitive than yours."

"Duh. Magic." I made a ball of dark magic and held it in front of Twilight. "Ever since I became a demon, my hearing has become four times stronger than yours. If I listen hard enough, I can hear your heart beat. However, Fluttershy, did you say ursas?" Fluttershy smiled at me slightly the same way a child would when guilty of doing something. I chuckled slightly before I picked Fluttershy up into my arms and started walking off. "Come on you're coming with me." Before Fluttershy could protest, I started scratching behidn her ears, causing her to moan slightly.

"Tran, why are you scratching Fluttershy as if you were holding an animal?" Twilight asked. I placed Fluttershy back down and picked Twilight up before I started to scratch her head, like I did with Fluttershy's. "Tran, what are you doi- MMMMMM. Right there." I continued scratching as Twilight was lying down in my arms. I looked to Fluttershy and she had a face of jealousy. I cracked Fluttershy a mischevious smile before I started to tickled Twilight in the sides. She immediately went from moaning slightly to laughing and struggling in my arms. After a short amount of time passed, I placed her back on the ground. Twilight breathed heavily for a few seconds before she cleared her throat and said "That wasn't funny."

I cracker her a slight smile then picked FLuttershy up and started scratching her behind her ears. "You know, just because something looks and seems bad, doesn't mean it is. It is not demeaning if I scratch anyone like animals. Would anyone want to mess with any of you especially if you're the friends of the god of chaos, the other princesses, and seven of the most powerful and dangerous beings in existance?" I looked down at Fluttershy and stopped scratching. "Even I enjoy being stratched on the head like a dog. Though I am Tran." I placed Fluttershy back down and started walking. "Lets go wake up those ursas." Twilight gave me a look that said "ARE YOU CRAZY!!??!?!?!" but then again, I was Tran. "Twilight, nothing bad is going to happen thats involved with us waking up a few ursas. Plus, you have me. I've taken down armies, killed bigger creatures, and have the power of gods. Of course, you're safe."

-X-X-X-

The three of us were walking through the Everfree Forest towards the caves where the Ursa Major and the Ursa minor lived. Despite what the Mane Six believed of the Everfree Forest, it was pretty safe despite the creatures. However, something about the forest gave me a sense of death. Well, more than usual but you get the gist.

"Twilight, do you hear whispering?" I asked.

"No. Please don't tell me you're hearing voices now. Equestria doesn't need a mentally unstable Tran" Twilight replied.

"I'm still mentallly stable." Ever since I got my demon/Nightmare powers, going to the Everfree Forest has been different. I no longer had a sense of dread, I no longer felt a sense of death (well,, less than usual but you get the gist), and I sometimes I heard voices coming from the forest as if the forest was trying to invite me into it.

Suddenly, Fluttershy and Twilight stopped where the were standing and started to sniff the air. "Fluttershy, do you smell that?" Twilight asked.

"The sulfur?" Fluttershy answered.

"Wait, the two of you smell sulfur?" I asked. The two of them nodded their heads, answering my question. "Okay, here is some food for thought. What are the two only things in the Everfree Forest that smells like sulfur?" I asked.

"Well, one is the Froggy Bog Bottom Swamp" Fluttershy answered.

"And we're nowhere near that location" Twilight commented.

"The other?" I asked.

"I got it! The timberw- Oh buck" Twilight said.

I pulled out Yin and Yang from the hidden holster held (say that three times quickly) on the back of my robe and pointed both pistols at the surrounding foliage. Then I noticed the sulfur smell. However, I noticed that as the sulfur smell grew, the whispering I was hearing was growing louder.

Soon seven similiarly sized (say that three times quickly) timberwolves lepted out of the bushes and surrounded us but they didn't even try to attack any of us. Another timberwolf, bigger than the other seven, jumped out of the bush and approached me. I trained both pistols on the alpha's head, watching for any mistake. Then I dropped the aiming stance I was in and reholstered both pistols.

"Tran, what are you doing?!? Shoot them!" Twilight demanded.

I turned and faced Twilight. "Shush." I turned and faced the alpha. "The timberwolf alpha. I wonder what you're doing here."

"Leave this domain" the alpha timberwolf said.

"Oi. Exactly why should I leave this Forest. I can easily slaughter the lot of you" I said back.

The alpha seemed to be taken in shock. "You understand me?!?" he asked.

"Eeyup. Why wouldn't I?" I asked back.

"Tran, what are you doing with the timberwolves?" Fluttershy asked.

"Hold on Fluttershy, I'm speaking to the timberwolves" I replied. I looked back to timberwolf. "Yes I can understand you. If you're wondering how, I think it has something to do with my ascension to being a Nightmare being." This statement caused each of the wolves to start growling and each of them got into a pouncing stance. "Oi. Don't worry. I'm not actually evil. A Nightmare being just gave me his powers. I am with two of the Elements of Harmony." This didn't seem to ease the Timberwolves' tension as they were still in a pouncing stance. "Now what do the lot of you want?"

"We are not in good terms with Nightmare beings nor the Elements of Harmony. A Nightmare being cursed our pack and the orange Element of harmony fought some of our wolves" the alpha timberwolf said.

"I can still very easily kill all of you here. I am still heavily armed and your kind isn't exactly in good standing with me or that orange pony that defended herself from you. I recall two of her family members being lost to your kind. Also, exactly how did a Nightmare being curse your pack?" I said. The wolves stopped standing in a pouncing stance and went into a sitting position, exactly like how a wolf or dog would.

"Our pack weren't originally the timberwolves we are today" the timber wolf alpha started. I'm going to guess that the Nightmare is the reason why timberwolves are made of wood. I place my bets on the Nigtmare cursing them. "Thousands of years ago before Discord ruled the magical land of Equestria, the Nightmare ruled over the lands. It was a miserable placed for anyone to live in. The Nightmare's rule over the land was known as when disharmony controlled the lands of Equestria. One day, one alicorn was tired of all the evil and organized a rebellion with most of the available species found in Equestria, eventually starting in a war.. The Nightmare's forces, were hard to defeat. His army was personally created through necromancy and curses, creating zombies, vampires, fiends. Those who opposed him were the magical alicorns, wolves and other animals, diamond dogs, dragons, and the draconequuses. They fought in the rebellion and eventually won. However, before being defeated, the Nightmare cursed each of the species that fought in the war. He drove the draconequuses insane and each one slowly died off, causing the near extinction of the race. He turned each alicorn into one of the pony races, killing of the entire race except for three magical alicorns. He drove the diamond dogs into states of greed, turning the great diamond dog race into their current packs of greedy thieves. He took away the ancient wisdom of most of the dragons, turning them into their greedy selves today. He made most of the species of animals unable to live on their own. Lastly, he cursed our species, the wolves, into our current tree forms." And I won that bet.

"A few things need to be said. One, I've met the last surviving draconequus. Two, the diamond dogs and dragons are still in a state of greed. Lastly, can you tell me the names of the alicorns that weren't turned into normal ponies?" I said.

"The three surviving alicorns was a mare and her two daughters but I do not know their names" the alpha replied. "I may know it if I see them or if I hear of their names."

"Wait, you've met them?" I asked back.

"I was there when the war happened. We all were" the alpha replied.

I looked at the wolves and then back at the alpha. "Wow. You've been alive for thousands of years. Would two of the alicorns that survived happen to be Celestia and Luna?"

"Yes. Those were two of them, the daughters. Are they still alive?"

"Yes. I've met them. However, I do not know of the third. Wait a minute, did you not notice this purple alicorn?" I motioned over to Twilight.

"I noticed her. However, she is not a true alicorn. True alicorns have magical flowing manes and they have huge statures. She is more of a normal alicorn."

"She's wasn't born an alicorn. She ascended into this position. Like I did, she earned her power. Wait. You were cursed by a Nightmare being. I may be able to undue that curse."

"You may try. I must tell you that others have been trying for the first two thousand years of our curse. They have all failed."

"I kinda noticed that from the fact that the lot of you are still timberwolves." I moved closer to the alpha timberwolf and placed my hand on his head. A few seconds passed and I slowly moved my hand away from the alpha's head. A moving trail of black magic connected the alpha's head to my hand. Then, the trail of black magic disappeared and I stepped back to standing next to Fluttershy and Twilight.

"Tran, what were you doing?" Twilight asked.

"Watch young Twilight" I said similar to how young padawan was said in Star Wars.

"I'm twice your age" Twilight said back.

"Well I'm Tran." Suddenly, all of the wood fell off of the alpha, leaving a large white coated alpha.

I looked to the other timberwolves and snapped my fingers. The wood fell off of them and they were all like the alpha, large white coated wolves.

"If you ever find any other timberwolves, bite them. I enchanted all of your teeth so that when a timberwolf if bitten by any of you eight, you will cure their curse."

The alpha started to lightly bark at me. I then realized that I wouldn't be able to understand them anymore as they had no trace of dark magic left in them. I snapped my fingers and a light translation spell was placed onto the wolves. "Can you repeat that. When I undid the curse, the lot of you weren't under dark magic again and now I can't understand the lot of you. However, I placed a spell on the lot of you so that I can speek with you."

"3600 years under a curse and you have removed it" the alpha said. "How can we repay you?"

"Maybe STOP ATTACKING RANDOM PEOPLE!?!?!?!" The alpha nodded before he left, soon followed by the other wolves.

I looked over to Twilight and Fluttershy, both still didn't know what was going on. Twilight poked me in the side with her hoof, directing my attention to her. "Ummmm. Tran, I'm not try to be rude or anything but what the buck just happened?

"Timberwolves. Curse. Black magic. Cure. Tran. Something. 3600 years. Other things. More Tran. Nothing else" I replied.

"What?"

"The timberwolves were really wolves that were placed under a curse 3600 years ago with black magic by the Nightmare 3600 years ago. I cured eight of them and then I enchanted their teeth so that any other timberwolf bitten by them will be removed from the same curse" I explained. "Nothing important."

"Nothing important? Nothing important? Nothing important?!?! You removed one of the greatest threats in the Everfree Forest and its... You know what. I give up" Twilight said, sighing.

I looked over to Fluttershy. "Fluttershy, you'll be seeing more wolves around the Everfree Forest. Now where are those ursas?"

"They'rve hibernated for the Winter in that large cave built into that small mountain over there" Fluttershy replied. The three of us soon walked up to the entrance of the cave. Then I picked up Fluttershy and started to lightly scratch her head.

"Really Tran? Now?" Twilight asked.

"Twilight. Ursa are creatures of the cosmos. They're technically minor gods. They would be able to sense my evil. Holding Fluttershy, otherwise known as the Element of Harmony that represents kindness, may mask my evil with her good. If it doesn't work, the ursa and her daughter won't botther to hurt me as crushing a Element of Harmony will cause disharmony across the land of Equestria." The two of the looked at me, then blinked.

"Tran, why do you know about that?" Fluttershy asked.

"Normally, I would say something along the lines of 'I know everything' but this time, I'm going to offer an explanation. I know of the harmony of Equestria despite being a being of evil. This is due to the fact that being a Nightmare being also means that I know of the laws of the universe, good, evil, and neutral so that I can know of which side I'm either supposed to or want to be in. Entienden?"

"You know, this may be one of the few times that you didn't yell out 'I know everything' when we asked you how you knew something" Twilight said.

"Plus, scratching Fluttershy's head is fun and calming. Back in our universe, studies have shown that petting or scratching a small or medium sized animal, like a dog or cat, relieves stress."

"Tran, you've mentioned studies before. What exactly are these studies and who does the studying?" Twilight asked.

"Usually, universities perform the studies. Instead of actual scientists doing these studies, university students perform them. The studies are sometimes one of the requirements of a student's in order to pass a course. I know of them because I would often read about them, so I know of hundreds." I looked down to Fluttershy, who was sitting calmly in my arms, enjoying my hand, scratching her head. "Lets go."

The three of us stepped into the cave, slowly walking forward with me leading. The inside of the cave of pitch dark and was gigantic as it was able to house the ursas. Luckily, I was able to see inside of the cave due to the fact that my eyes were now able to see in the dark due to my demon powers.

Then, the three of us started to hear some light snoring. We soon approached the source of the snoring, the same ursa minor that was in the episode Boast Busters. 'Exactly how am I going to delicately wake up this large comsic bear creature that just happens to dwarf me?" I took out my 870 from my inventory and loaded another one of my extra-loud 3 1/2 inch shotgun shell blanks. *CHK-CHK* I aimed the shotgun into the air and looked over to the two ponies. They saw what I was doing and started covering their ears. *BOOM*

This immediately woke up the ursa minor and it rose up, looking at the source of the gunshot, me, with anger. I held up my right finger and slowly waved it back and forth. It moved its snout closer to me and started sniffing. However, it took one wiff of me and backed away, wimpering lightly. "It knows" I said. I placed my 870 back into my inventory and took out my M4a1, quickly loading the M203 underbarrel attachment with a high explosive, high velocity 40X53mm grenade and the main weapon, the M4a1, with a Armatac magazine filled with hand tooled, match grade, high velocity ammunition.

Soon the mother, the ursa major, came into our presence, quickly approaching us. The ursa major was over twenty times taller than me or about a hundred fifty feet tall. I aimed my M4a1 at her and waited.

"What are you doing in my domain?" the ursa major asked. Just the ursa minor's voice alone shook the insides of the cave, causing several of the stalagmites (remember, stalactites are the rock formations that hang from the ceiling while stalagmites are the ones that are on the ground and point up) to fall down.

"You can talk?!?" Twilight asked.

"Of course she can talk. She's basically a god. All gods have high intellect, power, and abilities. Every god knows how to talk in at least three languages" I said in a tone as if that was obvious.

"I will say this one last time. Why do you reside in my domain" The ursa major repeated.

"Oh shut it. It's Winter Wrap Up and we're here to wake up the animals, including the two of you" I said.

"Tran, I don't think you should be antagonizing the ursa major, you know the big cosmic bear that makes you look like the size of one of Fluttershy's mice" Twilight whispered to me.

"If that is so, then why is a Nightmare being with two of the Elements of Harmony required to wake me up? The only way this could make sense is if this is a trap" the ursa major said.

"Oi. It's not a trap. We're here because you and your child are both giant and no one else wants to wake the two of you from hibernation. Now if you don't mind, we will be leaving" I said. I started walking out, still carrying Fluttershy and Twilight following me, until the bear blocked the path in front of me with her paw.

"YOU! Nightmare. You may not leave. You Nightmares only cause blights to this land" the ursa major said. I looked at the ursa major's paw for a second then shot it with the grenade. The high explosive grenade caused a large open wound on the ursa major's paw. The ursa major instinctively raise its paw in pain, then swiped at me with the other paw. reacting quickly, I let my M4a1 hang onto my shoulder by its sling then picked up Twilight, holding her in my left arm while Fluttershy was in my right arm. Then I jumped up, over the ursa major's paw and landed back on the ground. Before the ursa major could do anything else, I placed both of them on the ground and shot at the ursa's other paw, except this time, I was firing the M4a1 at the ursa's paw. Despite the small size of the 5.56X45mm rounds, the ursa major was in great pain. After a twenty round burst, I stopped firing and looked at the ursa, my gun still trained on her.

"Exactly how much common sense do you have? You are supposedly a small god and yet you don't see anything wrong with a Nightmare being accompanied by two of the Elements of Harmony, one being an ALICORN. Now, the three of us will be leaving and if you attempt to stop us, that ursa minor over there will become an orphan" I said, slinging my M4a1 over my shoulder and picking up Fluttershy again. Instead of walking out of the cave, I walked over to the ursa major. "Now hold out your paws." Confused, the ursa major held out both of its paws in front of me. I took out a Dead Space medpack from my inventory and started applying it to the ursa major's paws. Both the gunshot wounds and the grenade wound were soon healed.

Then I walked out of the cave, followed by Twilight. On the walk back to Ponyvilled, I started to scratch Fluttershy's head again. "Tran, why did you help the ursa's wounds that you inflicted?" Twilight asked.

"Twilight, you have yet to learn. I may be a Nightmare/Demon but I am not evil. That ursa was trying to defend herself and her young. The ursa was only acting in self defense. That threat was also a lie. I wouldn't kill a mother that was still taking care of her young" I explained.

The rest of the walk back from the Everfree Forest to Ponyvilled was filled with silence if you didn't count the noise that came from me lightly scratching Fluttershy's head. When we were in the vicinity of Ponyville, we could tell that Winter Wrap Up was still not done. There was still snow around Ponyville, Rarity was still working on making baskets, all of the animals have yet to have been woken up, and it looked like some of my friend's help wasn't very helpful. Alex's use of a flamethrower to melt snow was too extreme as the fire melted the snow AND charred the ground and some of the plants, Logan's use of explosives to break the lakes was too extreme and caused too much damage to the area suroounding the lake, and Andy barely did anything to help. Nick, Austin, and Ike's help was actually helpful as their help didn't cause any trouble.

However, with the three of us back, we were able to undue the damage. I managed to undue the fire and explosive damage from Alex and Logan and Twilight was able to arrange something that would quickly do the remaining work left for Winter Wrap Up.

The last step to completing Winter Wrap Up was something that was as simple as Pinkie Pie.

-X-X-X-

"PARTY!!!!" Pinkie Pie yelled. Another large party was arranged inside of the town hall by Pinkie Pie. Like usual, there were drinks, snacks, entertainment, and techno music by Vinyl Scratch. THE WUBS!!! Everybody and everypony milled about at the party.

I moved up onto the stage that Vinyl Scratch had her equiptment set up on and DJing. "Oi. Vinyl Scratch" I said.

"Tran! How've you been? When are you going to let me see those songs you said you were going to let me record and use?" Vinyl said immediately.

"I don't know. The last time I was going to let you record my songs was interupted by me and my friends being sent to foud different dimensions where each of us went through our own epic journey that ended up with each of us gaining new powers, abilities, and weapons" I explained.

"You and your other human friends are really unlucky" Vinyl Scratch said.

"Maybe. Maybe not. Now one more thing. Can you hook up my Ipod to your system again? I have a song that would go great for this party" I said. Vinyl Scratch nodded and did as so. I scrolled through my playlist and played one of my favorite brony songs.

I left the stage as the song played, moving away from the crowd. Despite this being a Pinkie Pie party (try saying that three times over), I didn't enjoy it. Before, during, and after the zombie apocalypse, I was relatively an antisocial person, as proven by my amount of friends. The only thing I did at this party was walk around.

As I walked around the party, I noticed the snack tables. One of the tables, like usual, had cakes, cupcakes, candy, cookies, and other sugary snacks. On another table were bowls of punch. What caught my eye was that one of the bowls of punch was labeled 'Special Punch: Adults Only!' Why would Pinkie Pie have alcohol at a party that also had minors? I ladeled myself a cup of punch and tasted it. Like most pony alcohols, it tasted like fruit punch. I scanned the bowl with my glasses and found out that it had an alcohol content of 3%. Then on another table, was a bowl of salt blocks.

Now I know I've said before in a previous chapter that equine creatures get drunk faster than humans. Yes I'm breaking the fourth wall again. If you have any complaints, please take them to our head of operations, Pinkie Pie. Good luck getting to her because she is PINKIE PIE.

"HI THERE!" Pinkie Pie said. "Do you have any complaints? I bet I could help you with them like the time I helped Rainbow Dash with those pranks or Twilight with that experiment or Fluttershy with those animals or Applejack that one year with Applebuck season or the ponies in Ponyville with parties or what do you like more, chimicherrychangas or cherychangas?" Exactly, good luck.

Wait, I'm getting off topic. Where was? Oh yeah alcohol and ponies. Like I said, equine cratures get drunk faster than humans. Since I didn't explain why last time, I will now. Like humans, equine can get drunk or die from alcohol poisoning when too much alcohol is ingested. However, equine creatures will get drunk much faster than humans and will require less alcohol to do so. Like a human, when an equine drinks alcohol, it elevates their blood alcohol content. However, when a human drinks alcohol, most of the alcohol is absorbed by the liver as when an equine drinks alcohol, most of the alcohol is absorbed into the bloodstream, resulting in the previously said statement. Also, think of this. Lets say that a normal draft horse from the human universe will require as much alcohol as the average middleweight human drinker. Draft horses are six feet tall and each of them weigh up to 2000 pounds. Now lets look at the ponies. The average pony, about the size of Fluttershy or Pinkie Pie, is only three feet tall and they weigh between 150-200 pounds. Now think of Big Mac. He weighs 400 pounds and he's only three and a half feet tall. Alcohol would destroy them!

Wait a minute. When I'm an alicorn, I'm five eleven and I weigh only 120 pounds. Hmm. I don't think thats safe. Oh well!

Then there was salt. Ponies can get high off of salt. Why? Back in the human universe, a horse ingests salt from salt licks/blocks to recover energy, stabilize metabolism, and to get electrolytes. However, if a horse ingests too much salt, it will upset the horse's metabolism and may cause other effects on the horse, depending on how much salt was ingested.

Why would Pinkie Pie would have both salt and alcohol in a party that had minors along with the adults? I don't know, she's Pinkie Pie.

"IT'S BECAUSE IT'S FUN!!!" Pinkie Pie said.

Pinkie Pie, I am Tran. Go away or I will use my Tran powers!

"Okay."

I looked through my backpack and took out a bottle of saki. This bottle wasn't one of the bottles I scavenged. This is one of my home made brews that I triple distilled, concentrated, and enchanted. Now why did I know how to make distilled saki? Normally, I would say something along the lines of 'I know everything' but this is why I know. My parents are Vietnamese, therefore making me Vietnamese. How does this explain why did I know how to make saki? Everyone in Vietnam works hard and does many things for money. The average Vietnam person does more work than Applejack and Big Mac. No this isn't an exageration. I'm actually serious. back to the topic. One of the things that some Vietnamese people would do, the smart ones, would make alcohol, usualy saki, to sell or for recreation. Both my mom and my dad knew how to make saki. The bottle of saki I had in my hands was 500 proof. Yes it is 250% alcohol. How? I'M TRAN!!!

I took a swig from the bottle and felt the alcohol burn as it slid down my throat. "Ahhh." Despite the saki's strength, the alcohol barely affected me as being a demon increases my metabolism.

"Hey Tran!" I heard someone yell over the music. I looked over to who called me and saw Logan.

"Oi. What do you need?" I yelled back.

"Come have a drink with me!" Logan replied. In both of his hands were bottles of amber colored liquids.

"Did you make Applejack brand Applejack?" I asked.

"Yeah."

"I have a bit of my own homemade brew. Want to try some?"

Logan nodded and I handed him the bottle. He took one swig and immediately started coughing. "Just the way I like it. Like its going to kill me." Logan took another swig and coughed again. "this goes down like acid. Tran, maybe you should schtick to wheapons." I noticed how he his speech started to slur halfway through. "Did I just start to slur? That is strong thank god for my nanosuit's health management system."

"Logan, that is 250% alcohol. Of course it's going to burn."

"250%?!?!? How?!?!"

"I'm Tran, what do you think? Now, let me try some of yours. You did drink mine." Logan handed back my bottle and handed me one of his bottles of Applejack. I took a swig and swish it around in my mouth before swallowing. "You know the ethanol content in this will kill any normal human or pony right. This is actually lethal to basically everyone."

"That explains why I lose my vision for a few seconds when I drink any of it" Logan said. "Or why it hurts to drink."

I handed him him his Appplejack back. I held up my bottle of saki. "To good times."
