As the days went by I stayed with Applejack more than any of them, I helped her harvest and taught her all things battle. She loved it. Other than Pinkie pulling me to the side, which suddenly became more about sex to her than feeding, in fact she had no emotions toward me whatsoever, it was nice.

Twilight worked it out with Rarity saving Spike, which he gladly thanked me for helping him. Then Fluttershy started run out, and I knew trouble was coming for me. She now had such a strong need, and I was starting to find things from her, a way of trying to buy them. I always chuckled and stepped over them.

“Seffron!” I woke up in the middle of the night and looked around to see Fluttershy by my window. Trixie wasn’t in bed, probably getting a late night drink. I groaned going over to my window.

“Fluttershy.” I groaned.

“I need more of them, you’ve been ignoring my gifts!” She opened my window pushing inside and making me fall to the floor. I grunted and looked at her.

“Fluttershy I need to weed you off of them, you’ve become addicted to them.”

“So?! I need more of them, I don’t feel right without them, having them has made my life so much better. I couldn’t do anything on my own, now I have the strength to do anything I need to or want to. Ponies respect me, they listen to me. I’ve moved out of the poor house, I’m richer than freaking Rarity!”

“What?”

“I invested my money and made millions! It was only possible because I had those stones, please, I'll pay whatever you want to get them. I’ve heard of others using stuff like this to make their lives normal. I need it, please help me!”

“Wait you’re serious, you’re telling me that you’re better off?” She pulled out pictures of her in Canterlot. She was pointing at a huge pile of gold in the picture and a banker held up a bank account which showed how much was in her personal account.

“See, I’ve been doing a lot of things, please give me more.” Tears went down her face. “I don’t want to go back to scared Fluttershy!” I sighed.

“Fine, fine I'll make you more of them, just I need you to get me a diamond one.” She took a bag off her back and opened it showing gems. “You really want this.” She nodded and I chuckled seeing two of them on her arm.

“Please.”

“Okay first of all, the effect doesn’t get stronger having more than one.” She paused for a minute.

“Really?!”

“Yeah, it’s the same no matter how many you have, it just burns up another one at the same time, so don’t do that.” She hit her forehead.

“I’m so stupid.”

“No you’re just a druggy. IF, and I mean IF, this really helps you then I will do this for you because you are my friend.”

“Thank you, I can prove it helps me.” I sighed a little.

“No I believe you, you wouldn’t risk lying to me or getting on my bad side. Now get off of me.” She got off of me and I pulled out a large clear gem from her bag. “Now this one will last you a week straight, but you can’t freak out what I’m about to do.”

“I won’t.” I bit into my arm making it bleed and she went to go forward, but stopped when I gave her a look.

“Understand I’m only doing this because you’re my friend, and I don’t want you to kill me because I suddenly stopped giving you them.” I poured my blood onto the stone turning it blood red, and cloudy. I wrote onto it three symbols and then blew fire onto it making them appear inside of it.

“So that’s how you do it.”

“It’s not that’s simple, I can only do this because I’m a dragon, and I can use magic to enhance my fire in a certain way. There is no other way that’s possible, I tried to mass produce these once, so I know.”

“Oh.” She reached for it.

“Wait.” She stopped. “First of all, wait till those ones die off, then put this one on, don’t put any more than this on you till it completely fades away. You’ll be able to feel it on you, so you’ll know. Do you understand what I just said?” She nodded. “Good, now I’m going to make you a bunch of them, so don’t worry, you’ll have plenty.”

“Thank you so much.” I set the gem down and did it to about a hundred of them.

“Each color will last a little less than the clear ones, so don’t fret if they disappear earlier than normal.”

“I won’t.”

“Good, and next time don’t buy gems please.”

“I only got these ones, I was planning to get more, but they ran out.”

“Good, then don’t buy more, I'll get you plenty, this should last you months. So don’t just go sticking them on all at once, do you understand?” She nodded. “Good, now then, I’m going back to sleep, don’t wake me.”

“Is there any way I can repay you?” I grunted.

“No.”

“Really?”

“Fine, I’m not in the mood to play around, I’ll do this for, a gold a stone, happy?” She smiled pulling out a bag of gold bits and setting it down. “I don’t even care to count that, just put it over there on the table.” She flew over setting it down.

“Thank you.” She flew out my window and I locked it. I hopped into the bed as Trixie came into the room.

“Did I hear Fluttershy?”

“Yes, she wanted a fix, apparently she made millions of gold bits because of it.”

“Really?!”

“Yeah, I’m going to have to check that out in the morning.”

“So you did you do her like Pinkie?”

“No just took the bag of gold.” She went over to it and looked inside. “There are more than gold bits in here.”

“What?” I asked oddly interested.

“There are gold gem bits and platinum bit.”

“What?” She held up two coins.

“These gold gem bits are worth a hundred gold bits, and then the platinum is worth easily two hundred bits. You have at least fifty of each of them in here. You have at least fifteen thousand gold bits worth in here.”

“So she wasn’t lying.”

“Or she robbed Canterlot completely blind.” I turned over. “I'll just leave it here in case it was stolen. We know how those stolen goods are.” I grunted a little.

“Come back to bed you.” She came back over to me and joined me in bed, I wrapped my arm around her falling asleep. A loud banging woke me up and I sighed. I had a feeling that today wasn’t going to be fun.

“Open up! It’s the royal guards!” I sighed getting up and Trixie rolled into my warm spot smiling a little. “Open up!” The guard shouted again.

“I'll be there in a minute! Hold your horses.” I chuckled.

“Funny, open up!” I sighed going to the front door and opening the door surprising the guards see me in my form.

“What is so important that you have to.” I paused seeing Celestia behind them. “It’s too early in the morning.” I closed the door.

“OPEN UP!” A guard shouted banging. I opened the door.

“Come in.” They came in side frowning and then Celestia came in looking around.

“You have a very nice home.” Celestia said.

“Make yourself at home, I’m going to go brew myself some dragon bane.”

“Wait isn’t that deadly poisonous to dragons?!” Celestia asked panicked. “I mean isn’t it to you?”

“I’ve been drinking it since I was a hatchling, it doesn’t even phase me, just helps me wake up in the morning to loud banging. Next to you and all of your minions, I barely have enough time alone.”

“Well I need your help.”

“In other words not sorry for waking me up, and you want me to do something.” I went into the kitchen and started making my drink. “And if it’s about some kind of bank robbery then I figured.”

“What robbery?” One of the guards asked.

“You’re not here about Fluttershy?”

“The millionaire?” The other guard asked.

“She wasn’t lying then.”

“Why, what did she do?” Celestia asked.

“Nothing, it’s nothing.” I drank my drink and sucked in some air. “Anyway about the dragon bane, it is the most poisonous thing a dragon could possibly eat. My Twilight thought, oh good idea to get him immune, been hooked to the stuff since, tastes great as far as poisons go, I mean really good. Saved my life a few times and gave me a good kick.”

“Right, so are you awake?” Celestia asked.

“Yes.” I went over and sat across from her setting my mug down on a table to the side of the sofa. “Now what did you want from me?” The guards frowned. “Not from your world, and my Celestia wasn’t the nicest, so mind my tone would ya?”

“It’s fine, I have been meaning to ask you, it’s been a few weeks since the bog monster attack. Are there other things like that, which might live in this world?”

“Tons, I checked it out, all of them live here, from the Egg Con, to the ice mares, the desert pony, Losive Day, the Drakain army, and that’s just to name a few. In fact your world is riddled with these creatures, they are so much stronger than in mine. Magic of this world is greater than mine.”

“I see, then we should move to stop these creatures before they become a threat.”

“We won’t need to.”

“What?”

“These creatures will come rather we go to them or not, and I would rather be on our home turf when they do. Going to them would be foolish, then they have the advantage, and if another attacks at the same time, you have to travel too far to help.”

“That would be wise, how long before the next creature comes?”

“Three days times from this moment.”

“What?” A guard asked.

“The Egg Con will be the next creature, a giant egg with arms and legs, it’s not particularly dangerous or powerful. Even as a baby I was able to crack it’s shell and kill it, I lost a small town before that, but I beat it.” I chuckled a little and Celestia smiled.

“Where will it attack.”

“If it follows the same path it’ll attack Dodge City from the Badland road.”

“Then I request you be there with Twilight, I will pay you for it if I must.” I chuckled a little bit and she sighed. “Please, I do not wish Twilight to go it alone, she told me of what happen. I was saddened by it.”

“I didn’t realize you raised your students like that, maybe I have more to worry about than a couple of creatures.” The guard posed and she stopped him holding up a hoof. “Of course I wouldn’t do anything like that, you’re much too powerful for me to handle. I saw your power the first time I met you, you’re not someone I want to fight, yet.”

“I don’t want to fight you, and I would not lose no matter what. Do not forget my sister is just as powerful.” I paused. I had forgotten about Luna. “Twilight has the raw power easily, but she does not know all the spells of battle. I’m sure our archive would ravel yours.”

“I would love to see that.”

“I will let you if you promise to assist Twilight from now on, no matter the task she asks of you, you will help her, or do as she asks. If you do, then I will let you into the royal library, you’ll find a wealth of knowledge.”

“Fine you have a deal, but no sex.”

“What?” I paused.

“You really need to keep a closer eye on your student and her friends.” She looked at her guards. “Anyway, I'll be there in three days and bring her along, but there is this one I would like to know about.”

“Which is?”

“Why aren’t you queen? You certainly have the power and wisdom to do that, and most already worship you like you were a god. So why not crown yourself?”

“I have my reasons.”

“Very well, now was there something else you needed?”

“I was hoping to have you add to the royal library.” I paused. “Everything you know, every dark magic and spell you know of. I have a privet area where I keep all of that, you can even have a look if you can add to it.”

“No.” She stared at me, she wanted more than a simple no. “I have seen your world, you’re nowhere close to my level of dark magic. I have hundreds of years, and a Celestia and Luna of my own. They let me into a massive one, I promise you it was bigger than anything you have.”

“Then all the more reason.”

“I’m not repeating history, I did that the first time around and look where it got me, I’m not doing that.” This was true, but my mastery of dark magic was absolute. They couldn’t stand against me. This world was raw, it didn’t have the darkness fall on it yet, which meant it was still easy enough that I could probably handle it.

“It won’t happen here.” She was pushing it, which mean she was going to try and make me do it. Or she was going to order me, and I simply wouldn’t take something like that. I don’t care if she was a god compared to me in power, I wouldn’t back down.

“I’ve seen it happen, my Luna and Celestia brought a dark golden age better than what you’re living in right now. You’re not even advanced enough to create flying machines, or self propelled ships yet. You have no real way of talking over long distances either.”

“I told you nothing like that will ever happen here, I'll make sure of it.”

“Oh is that so? Did you make sure your student didn’t use magic wrongly? If you can’t control your own student, and Princess I might add. Then you can’t hope to control what I know, it’s far too dark for this world.” She grit her teeth, she was pissed.

“I can’t have you knowing something like that which might endanger my world. You will give me the information.”

“Or what?”

“Do not make me take it.” We both stood up.

“If you want to fight I'll not hold back. I’m battle hardened and I'll not lose in a simple fight, you’ll need more than raw power to beat me.”

“We’ll see about that.”

“OUTSIDE!” Trixie shouted and we looked at her then around us. The sofa’s were flattened by just us thinking about fighting. I teleported outside with Celestia far away from Ponyville.

“You will tell me what I want to know.”

“No I won’t.”

“Yes you will.” She moved into a fighting stance readying herself. I let out a breath and blacken dragon steel armor appeared on me from light making the ground shatter around me. I held out my hand making a sword appear, I swung it back causing an entire small mountain to crack from it.

“I only survived my world because I was powerful, and would not yield to any threat no matter how powerful.”

“Princess Celestia!” Twilight shouted and we looked up seeing all of them on a cloud, Twilight landed. “What’s happening? Your guards sent for me immediately, why is Seffron in weird armor and has a sword?!”

“Twilight back away, this is not your fight, stay at a clear distance, I do not wish for you to get harmed.” Twilight flew away and Celestia stomped her hoof making golden appear on her, the very earth trembled from her. She spread her wings and the wind ripped causing the air to disappear, there was no sound, and talking was over.

She moved and I shot forward, without air we made no sound, there was nothing but a void of light for us to fight inside of. Had we had air or anything touching us, the ground would have turned into a creator, and the air would have exploded.

The swing of my blade hit her hoof, she easily stopped it, but at the cost of her hoof guard shattering it completely, sending pieces bolting into the ground melting the ground into lava pits.

She stabbed with her horn and it went through my shoulder like a spear, shattering my shoulder armor completely. I grabbed her neck surprising her, and then jumped back crashing her into the ground, and the earth made a silent scream as it was torn open.

She moved jumping back away from me with blood dripping from her back armor. I ripped off my arm throwing it and growing a new one. I grinned and her eyes went wide, I blew white fire at her. She dodged it easily and my blast melted everything behind her. She slammed my jaw shut causing me to swallow my own fire. My throat exploded catching her lightly on fire jumping back away from me.

I healed, then breathed out the used fire as not to catch my insides on fire. She was used to battle a lot more than I had realized, she was more than just powerful, she was skilled. I turned my blade and started cutting at her which she met each slash with a block of her horn and then stabbed at me.

We stopped after a while, she was bleeding heavily, but I was almost out of power, I simply didn’t have the power to keep up, which meant I wasn’t going to be able to play fair for this fight.

I took a stance stabbing my blade into the ground. Her gasped without a sound as several seal spells appeared around me, gems floated into the air amplifying my power tenfold. She launched at me and I pushed forward.

It was over in an instant. I looked at her, her armor was completely gone but a single piece of her horn armor, which was through my heart. A perfect shot having fit just right through a crack in my breast plate, which crumbled away.

She pulled out and air finally rushed into the void sending me rolling back. I threw up blood shaking, holding myself up with a single fully intact arm. I looked at her breathing hard. I had lost without a doubt. She still had plenty of power, I had only destroyed simple armor, and she held back a lot.

“You will give me what you know!” She commanded and I chuckled a little bit.

“No, I would rather die than give it to you.”

“So.” She fell to the ground having lost too much blood, she had gashes all over her body, it was amazing she could have stood for as long as she did. “Then, I will kill you if I need to, I will protect this land and my ponies.” I chuckled a little bit.

“Celestia!” Twilight and her friends shouted and she held up a hoof stopping them.

“You are asking me to give you something which is dark, that will rot this world by just having. Do you really want that darkness to fall upon your little ponies?!” I shouted at her breathing hard.

“The only thing that I can’t handle is what I don’t know. You will give me everything you know, I will not allow you to have something I don’t know. As far as I can tell you are far too dangerous to simply leave be.”

“My sister is correct.” I looked at Luna and tried to get up but fell back down. I turned enough to look at her. “This battle is proof enough, even when my sister and I battled, I could not scratch her armor, you have brought her to her knees. Nothing has ever done that before.”

“You would accept the responsibility? Plenty more darkness will come for that knowledge, things will awaken.” Threw up more blood from my lungs. “You will not get a single day of rest when it comes.”

“We will accept it.”

“Fine.” I healed myself enough to stand up using the last of my power, my armor fell off disappearing into ash. Celestia healed herself instantly making her armor reappear, and making me grit my teeth. I wasn’t even a memory to her, I was powerless compared to them, they had real power, and I needed that and so much more.

“Then let’s go.” Celestia said. Pinkie appeared next to me making all of them pause. She had wings and a horn on her.

“I’m not letting you awaken some unspeakable thing while I’m in Baltimare, I swear you to, get along.” Pinkie Pie said.

“Pinkie where did you come from, and why are you an alicorn?” Twilight asked looking at our Pinkie standing in her group not far away.

“I’m a future Pinkie silly!” She said happily.

“Hey Pinkie!” The current Pinkie shouted.

“Hey Pinkie! It’s good to see you again Pinkie, give me a moment and we’ll talk.” She shouted back and both of them giggled.

“Alright!” My Pinkie shouted back as she started jumping around.

“Princess Celestia, you can’t take the information you want from him, it will bring darkness onto this land. I’m from the future, if you have him tell you, then everything will rot under the lich, before the darkness even comes here.” She went to my ear smiling. “Help me, or I'll tell them who you really are mister ruler of your world.” She kissed me.

“She’s right! I really refuse now, I'll die before I tell you.” I said quickly. She winked at me and I healed instantly. Magic power filled me making my body steam from the massive sudden jolt of power. “Whoa, now this is power!” I shouted laughing.

“And that’s just a taste, once I get to a point, I unlock my full powers. You’ll really enjoy me then.”

“I can only imagine.”

“So treat me kind you.” She giggled a little making me smile. “Anyway, don’t take the information, you’ll regret it dearly. While you two can handle it, Twilight can’t.” They looked at Twilight. “You both know me, and you love me, please, I’m begging you, don’t do this. Have me throw you’re a party!” She said smiling and bouncing around. “You’ll be happier, it’s this moment in time which changed everything. If you wait till a certain point, you’ll end with a good ending. If you don’t, things will go wrong, so wrong.”

“How do we know the right moment?” Celestia asked.

“When the holy princess of a certain thing awakens,” Pinkie said and everything trembled making me back up a little scared, fear coursed through all of them. “This world will enter into an age of golden enlightenment, and none shall suffer till the end of time, for the darkness will have finally been ridded of all worlds.” She giggled and hopped around a little making everyone stare at her shocked. “But don’t worry silly, you’ll be ready when it time comes.”

“Right.” Twilight said sweating.

“And you mister.” She went back over to me pulling me down, and going to my ear whispering to me. “Do not, I repeat, do not try and take over till after you beat the lich.” She backed away. “Okay.” She appeared next to the other Pinkie and put her hoof around her shoulder. “Pinkie, Pinkie, Pinkie Pie, hi! Come with me.” They disappeared.

“Wow.” Twilight said looking around.

“So,” I said and they looked at me. “I’m going to do as Pinkie said. I’m not going to give it to you and make sure this world doesn’t go bad like mine did.”

“And that’s when you move your tongue up like this.” We looked at the Pinkies as she walked next to me with my Pinkie, which was completely red. “Oh you’ll figure it out, I know I did, anyway we’re back.”

“I didn’t even think that was possible.” Our Pinkie said looking down.

“How?” Twilight asked.

“Oh you’ll learn that later, it’s so much more fun to find that out later. If I told you all the answers now you would cause the end of the world.” She smiled cheerfully. “Anyway, I got to be going, Pinkie you have my number in case you need help. One of us will be able to help you when you need it.”

“How long?” I asked and she smiled widely seeing me.

“My beloved Seffron, I love you so much.” She let out a warm breath. “This will be a long journey for you, I can’t tell you that, or time and space would get ripped apart. You have a role to play in something so much greater than even me. Without you the darkness wins.” Tears went down her face.

“Then why are you crying?”

“I am the last of the beams of light shining through to the way, I must lead it or everything is for not, the end is beautiful, so beautiful.” She giggled as tears hit the ground. “I love you, know that, remember that as the darkness comes, I will always love you to the end of time and beyond. Now I have to go before I say something I'll regret.” She wiped her eyes as she walked into air disappearing. They all looked at Pinkie Pie.

“What I don’t know what she’s talking about, it’s all nonsense to, and like she said it’s better to find out. Now let’s go party!”

“What did you talk about?” Twilight asked and Pinkie turned red.

“Privet stuff, that’s what.” I pulled her close.

“You’ll have to tell me about that privet stuff later.” She giggled smiling.

“Of course.” She bit her lip. “Who do you think she told me for?” I chuckled and paused looking around. Celestia and Luna were the only ones staring, all the others were laughing so hard Applejack and Dash were rolling around.

“You owe me five bits.” Rarity said to Fluttershy and she rolled her eyes giving her the bits.

“What are you going to do?” I asked as Celestia’s and my eyes locked on to each other’s becoming serious again. They all stopped laughing looking at Celestia. She sighed and looked at Luna.

“I trust Pinkie sister,” Luna said. “I now think it would be unwise to take the information from him.”

“Very well,” Celestia said smiling a little. “We will not take the information from you, but let this be a lesson to you Seffron, we have the power in this world to make sure you do not become a danger.”

“As you did in my world.” They paused. “But next time we fight I will be ready.”

“Ready?” Luna asked.

“Coming through the portal sealed a large amount of my power, if we were to fight again I would have to unseal it first. I will save it as long as possible since what Pinkie told us is correct. I will not let this world fall, I will cleanse it of the filth that infected mine.”

“Sound good,” Celestia said. “Come Luna, we have much to ready for.” They flew off with a few guards. I let out a sigh of relief falling to the ground.

“I can’t believe I’m alive!” I shouted.

“You alright?” Twilight asked coming over.

“Yes, better than alright.” I sat up cracking a few bones. “I’m great, that blast of power was just what I needed.”

“So how long have you two been going out?” Applejack asked with a grin.

“I wouldn’t call it going out,” Pinkie said. “Just fun buddies, we do parties and all kinds of things.”

“That doesn’t sound like what it was earlier.” Dash said and Pinkie smiled.

“Of course not silly, what did you think we were talking about. It’s not like we’re dating or anything, we just have a lot of fun.”

“Right.” Twilight said smiling.

“Oh Twilight, Dash, in two days we’re going to Dodge City, there will be a monster that we’ll need to beat there on the third day, so ready yourself.”

“What about me?” Applejack asked.

“If things are going to happen we need an army. I’ve taught you enough, once I get back I'll start building up funds, and other things to get us started.”

“Right.” I wouldn’t be able to handle this world with just a few ponies, I would need an army, or all of us were going to die. I couldn’t fight twenty four seven and live, I also couldn’t plan the future like that.

“Fluttershy you and Pinkie will go with Applejack when she goes. In the mean time I need to talk to Pinkie, alone.” I teleported with Pinkie to my house. She smiled kissing me. “You know I think they know something.” She giggled.

“I know.”

The two days with Pinkie went by in a flash, the future Pinkie knew what she was talking about, even Trixie enjoyed it immensely. She was in love with Pinkie in every sense of the word sex, and Pinkie always just smiled.
