Warning: Another Moderate Violence.



1 day after Mico vs Naeus: The Camping(Part 1)...

The time is around 10:00 AM and JR is seen outside of the cabin, waving goodbye to his brothers as he shoots a yellow-energetic whip on one of the trees, swinging from tree to tree to go back to Ponyville.

With that, Mico and Macoy go back inside, going back to their activities, though Lloyd and Justin stayed outside. Mico was cleaning the cabin, in which he did it in just under 1 minute, Lloyd and Justin are training outside and Macoy was lighting up the candles, cooking foods and doing other sort of activities while being assisted by Mico. After what it feels like 3 hours, they finally finished it as Justin and Lloyd finally stopped training and head back inside the cabin.

As they were eating Macoy's cooked food, Macoy, Mico and Lloyd are not aware of Black Entity and Naeus outside, watching them as the former gestured at the latter to go in front of the cabin.

After the 4 finished eating their meals, they choose what to do next in mind.But before they could move an inch, the 4 siblings heard something, along with the cabin shaking, causing the roof to sustain minimal damage.

"What was that?" Macoy asked, confused on what was happening.

"Quiet!" Justin shushed, after all he knew what was coming.

The roof continued making loud noises and sustaining damages, thankfully it isn't too high. Suddenly, they heard a knock on the front door, the unknown visitor shouting, "Come on out!!"

Justin approached the door, "Its no use hiding anymore!" The stranger said. As the former leaned his ear closer, the stranger said something again, "I know who you are..."

"What's going on? Do you know him?" Macoy asked, while sound a little bit a whisper.

'It's Naeus!' Justin telepathically said to Macoy's mind, just as the unknown visitor said, "More importantly, whoever inside this house, hut or whatever this is called.. I seen you 4 some time ago!"

"Everyone let's get beneath the floor. Now..." Justin signalled.

"Shouldn't we fight whoever is yelling nonsense to us?" Macoy questioned, taking a few step forward.

"Who is that?" Macoy questioned again.

"It is Naeus. Can't you tell by his voice?" Justin leaned down and removed the floor mat, while Mico and Lloyd joined in, the latter asking, "What's he talking about?"

"It doesn't matter. GET IN!" Justin whispered, opening some sort of wooden trap door. Macoy and Lloyd jumped in, but Mico doesn't. "Will you fight him? Because I'm about to hide like your younger siblings." Justin asked, but Mico didn't reply. He simply standed there as the former jump below the trap door and closing it.

Mico then proceeds to cover the trap door like what it once was and approached the front door.

"Just tell me what I want to know! No need for this to get bloody." The stranger demanded.

Mico opened the door, and sure enough, it was Naeus, the skeleton standing there. But what differed him from his original form is that he was instead a skeletal pony, while being slightly taller than Mico's pony form. He retained his attire, but was adjusted to fit Naeus' new body. He also retained his yellow glowing eyes.

As Mico stepped out of the cabin, they both stared at each other's body.

'Never thought he would be taller than me, when we have the same height back on Earth' Mico thought.

For Naeus, he was looking at Mico with a questionable face, while having a thought, 'Mico is a unicorn, a mythical creature. Though I cannot mock him, I'm a pony too, atleast a skeleton to be exact.'

"Though you'd be smaller, but you're definitely the true Mico." Naeus started, glaring daggers at him, "Long way from home, aren't you? You just sent all of us to a world far worse than I expected."

"What do you want?" the blue pony asked, glaring far more intense that what the skeleton does.

"Oh, you already know that one." Naeus answered with a smirk.

"Whatever it is you seek, I do not have it." Mico said, turned his back on the skeleton and lit up his horn with red-orange aura, preparing to use a powerful attack. But before he could use it, Naeus laughed, forcing the blue unicorn to cease the light on his horn. "...And here I thought your kind was supposed to be enlightened."

"So much better than the natives in this world. So much smarter."

"And yet you hide here in the woods.. like a coward."

But Mico just ignore the insults, standing still and saying, "Hmph... Your going to regret that."

"Oh, I'm pretty sure I do." Naeus responded, holding his chin with right hoof before hitting Mico in the face. In response, Mico just glared more menacing saying, "You know what will happen..."

"Oh we already know that one." With that, Naeus goes for another punch, this time with his left hoof, then punch Mico in the breast part, then uppercut for the third one, but the skeleton's attacks didn't phase him. For his 4th strike, Naeus punched with his right hoof, but it was caught by Mico. He flexed Naeus' arm to the right, causing the latter's body to be bent to the right as well.

"I warned you." Mico said as he punches Naeus in the face, the latter before getting punched saying, "Finally."

As Mico punches the skeleton, the latter got pounded into the ground and struggled to get up. With that, Mico looked into the camera with a smirk and said, "See? He just lost to me in just one hit. Or is it?"

Mico looked on the struggling Naeus and approached him, who said, "No... No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." Mico grabbed Naeus by his right hoof, "Fine. My turn."

Naeus punches Mico, but this time it was not suppressed, sending the latter flying, hitting the cabin's eaves, and while starting to fall, hits another eaves on the back of the cabin and tumbles into the ground.

While Mico was getting up, he looked behind to see Naeus standing on the destroyed eave, jumped high and went to go land where Mico was. Seeing the danger, Mico rolled sideways as Naeus landed on his previous spot, creating a small crater and sending rubbles flying. He approaches Mico as the latter stands up, the former complaining, "How incredibly disappointing. Come on then."

Then their first fight in the new world starts, Mico made the first move, sending a series of punches at his opponents, who was too slow to react to his lightning-fast movements. His second round of strikes sends Naeus into a tree, destroying it and into the cabin's wall, which mysteriously sustained the impact.

He dashed towards Naeus with blue blur behind, but before he could reach the skeleton, he dashes as well, but on the left. The skeleton stops behind Mico and does a Double Axe Handle. Reacting quickly, Mico rolled backwards to avoid the attack, causing Naeus to hit a rock instead. "Pointless."

Mico dashed forward a bit and punches him 2 times, forcing Naeus to make a step back and dash to left again. He was unable to react to the skeleton, burning and empowered hitting him on the back, Naeus goes for the second strike, but Mico dodged it and uppercutted Naeus while the latter had his guard down. Mico punches Naeus dozens of times before kicking him, but Naeus had the chance to attack again. To evade the attack, the unicorn rolled out of the way, but when he stood up, he got uppercutted by Naeus, but dodged the next attack via rolling past him.

With Naeus having his guard down once again, Mico strikes the skeleton a couple of times by kicking him, his opponent bumping into some logs. Naeus stands up, but before he could do so, the blue unicorn fires yellow magic bolts a few times, hitting him in the head, in the stomach, in the legs and many more.

Before Naeus could get hit by more, he bursted with flames and dashed behind Mico, but the latter reacted fast and turned his head around, reeled his left hoof before hitting the burning skeleton, followed by a few quick punches, the last strike knocking him on a few trees, causing them to get blown to smithereens. Naeus(without flaming aura) recovered and stood up, saying, "Do better-"

His speech were interrupted when Mico dashed, leaving a blue lightning trail and punched him so hard not only he sent the skeleton flying to a tree and a rock, but sent him to a large rock.

Mico's horn glowed cyan as Justin's scythe flew and halted next to him. The large weapon being enveloped by the same aura's color.

He swinged the weapon 2 times, hitting the skeleton on each side, unfortunately Naeus paid back, flared his flaming aura once more and punched Mico, creating a small explosion that knocks back the latter. Mico ran towards Naeus, but thanks to the latter's speed being multiplied, he attacks the unicorn faster, then punched him in the stomach followed by an uppercut, sending Mico a few meters high in the air, who dropped the scythe because of it.

Naeus got a hold of his back hooves and slammed Mico down, then hurled him in the air a few meters. The former leaped in the air and dashed, colliding with Mico as both of them falls into the cabin's roof, which surprisingly sustained it, leaving only some woods apart from each other. The roof's parts are also messed up.

Out of nowhere and to Mico's shock, Naeus' head then started to grow a horn on forehead. What makes this different from unicorns is that it is jagged, the length being similar to alicorn's and is made of bones. His horn glowed with orange light, and enveloped Mico's neck with the same aura's color, causing the unicorn to choke.

As Naeus choked him, he said, "Tell me why you suck now... Pain stop. Real simple." then the skeleton did a downward punch, which Mico avoided, hitting the roof beneath them instead. The impact caused the roof to finally get some real damage, rubbles falling on the hole. Both of them looked on the hole, Mico had a nervous expression while gulping, Naeus had a curious look, them the latter asked, "Why are there 2 beds in the-?"

Whatever was the skeleton asking got cutoff when Mico smacked his hoof in Naeus' face and slammed him down on his left side, but Naeus did that as well, then Mico repeated it. However, instead of pushing him down via his face, Mico uses his Super Strength to push Naeus aside by his body instead. Mico ignited his horn with cyan glowing light and enveloped Naeus' neck with it. It may not choke the skeleton, but at least it keeped him from moving. After helding Naeus in place, Mico started beating up the skeleton, he punched him several times, the last 3 punches followed by 3 words, "LEAVE! US! Å̵̡͔̰̰̼̳͓̟̦̪͋̅͆͛̌͂͠Ľ̴̛̛͎̉̈́̓̾͂̾̌̿̈́̔Ờ̴̢̦̬̣̞͙̪͓̪̪̽͌́͊͛̈́̋́͠N̴̢̞̞͉̤̻̏̄̑͒̈̓̚̚͜Ę̷̻̯̻͇͕͙̞̼̼͇̜̝̜̅̂̀͌̄̉̀̈́̃̈́̈́̈́͘͠!̷̢̨͙͖̘̗̔̑̈́̎̇̐̋͋̍̌̕̕!̶̫̫̋"

Mico's final punch wasn't exactly a punch, it was actually a double axe slam, which causes the cabin's roof to create another hole and both Mico and Naeus fell through it and on the side of the cabin. But before Mico could stand up after the fall, the skeleton is covered in flaming aura once more, and dashes into his back. Naeus grabbed him by the waist and suplexed him, he didn't gave the blue pony a chance to stand up as he kicked Mico, destroying 2 trees upon hitting them.

The camera zoomed in as Naeus walked forward. When the camera zoomed far enough, it showed Mico standing up, his right hoof onto a fallen tree's trunk and is covered by scratches and bruises from head to hoof, while breathing heavily.

"Struck a nerve. Did I?" Naeus mocked, slowly approaching Mico with each step every second. However, not even 3 seconds has passed, Mico grabbed a hold of the trunk and slamming it on the skeleton, not only sending him flying and destroying another eaves from the corner of the cabin, but also extinguish the flames around him. Mico ran where Naeus got flung, the latter slowly falling and the former grabbed him by the waist. Doing so, he continued running, destroying the cabin's corner.

Naeus elbowed his back, but he persisted and continued to running while carrying the former, due to that, Naeus' body hit a rock near a tree, "Who are you hiding?!" Naeus yelled while punching Mico's side(still no effect) before hitting a large rock, while being pinned on it. He had no other option but to slam his skeletal hooves down the unicorn's back, forcing Mico to release Naeus and fall to the ground, thanks to him inflicting more force, he struggled to get up.

"Slow and old. Why disguise as a young stallion in a pony world?" Naeus taunted, his skeletal body had cracks on them, some of his bones have scratches, his horn's tip is missing with cracks on it. Naeus raised and looks at his left hoof, as the cracks and scratches on his body slowly disappears, his jagged horn slowly heals as well. For Mico, his scratches and bruises slowly disappears as well. When both the blue unicorn and the skeleton healed completely, Naeus said another insult, "So... Care to try again?"

Mico looked up at the skeleton and responded, "You talked too much." With that, he lit up his horn, which surrounds Naeus' body and punched him dosens of times in his barrel. He goes for the final hit, but he made a big mistake; releasing his psychokinetic grip on Naeus, causing the latter to dodge it at the last half second. It's now Naeus' turn who rapidly punches Mico in the breast, rarely in the face.

Mico fought back by punching, but it was easily avoided by the skeleton, who slapped him away and hitting the same large rock. The only difference is that Mico got through it and got stuck, with small rubbles falling on the newly made hole, there was also some of roots from a tree on it. "You won't talk? Fine. Maybe whoever it is you've got stashed in that house will."

Mico, after hearing the last sentence, felt anger. But instead of letting it take him over, he put that aside. Mico then inhaled and exhaled before blue-colored lightning surrounds him, and as Naeus turned to his back, Mico broked out of the rock and ran towards him, turned his back on the skeleton and kicked him, the impact causing blue sparks to appear briefly. Naeus didn't have time to react as he was sent flying to a large tree, Mico pinned him via his left hoof and punched the skeleton with his other hoof, causing the tree behind him to loss a large chunk of it as Mico threw him behind. The former grabbed the same tree with Psychokinesis, put the end in front of the skeleton and pushed it with hooves.

The combination of his speed and strength allows him to push both the trunk and Naeus, as Naeus and the trunk collided with the large rock and dugged through it, the former screaming, "Who is it!? Are you afraid I'll touch your siblings?!" As Mico and Naeus reached the end of the rock and going beyond it, the latter colliding with another large rock, but is a bit smaller while the former pinned him with the trunk he's holding, the skeleton said, "Let's find out!"

Naeus grabbed the log and broke it apart with bare hooves. He dashes in front of Mico and punched him, knocking back the blue unicorn, who retains his electrical aura. Naeus prepared for an attack, but was speedblitzed once again by Mico, whose time perspective slowed down until it came to a stop. With the time perspective paused not because of time stop, but because of the nature of his Super Speed, he summoned a blue glowing construct shaped like a pole. Using the pole, Mico swings it just as the the slow motion disappears, hitting Naeus in the face and cracking his skull, but not severely. He swings it 4 more times, hitting the skeleton in the body 2 times and the right hoof respectively.

Naeus got away before being hit by the final swing, causing Mico to hit the large rock and lets it disappear. He turned around and shot a quick burst of magic, hitting Naeus in his horn which was unaffected with the latter saying, "Pointless."

Mico tried again, but this time he didn't use his magic, instead he uses his Elemental Energy. He charged up for a split second before releasing a blue colored ball with lightning. it knocks back the skeleton, Naeus avoids few punches and lasers from the pony before charging up a blast of his own, though it takes a few seconds. Mico did the same(just as short as a second), and both of them released it to hit each other. Both lasers are evenly matched, before Mico's blue colored beam overpowered Naeus' in the blink of an eye, knocking him back once more.

Naeus got up again, his skeletal body showing some cracks, with his horn's tip missing. Despite the damages he sustained, he remained more than strong enough to take another barrage of punches from Mico, whose uppercut fling him atleast 6 feet from the ground and punched mid-air, flinging him on a tree and destroying it.

The skeleton got up and looked at Mico, who was fast approaching, is covered in electrical aura and ready to break his skull, if not for the unicorn's aura instantly disappearing with his hoof inches away from Naeus' head. 



Naeus chuckled with a smirk before teleporting behind Mico, the latter turning around fast enough while summoning Justin's scythe in his aura. Try as he might, he swung the scythe 2 times, the 1st one being avoided by the skeleton via ducking, while the 2nd swing is interrupted by his punch. Naeus flared his aura and punched Mico harder, which creates a tiny wound on his cheek. The latter rubbed his left hoof on it, while rolling away from another punch from Naeus leaping and striking down. 

He turns around again and swing the scythe 5 times, hitting the skeleton and causing another major damage on his body. He avoids the last 2 swings and smashes his hooves on the ground, creating an explosion the size of an average pony, in which Mico dodged it easily. "Why are you holding back?" Naeus complained before getting hit 2 times, he fought back by bursting into flames, charged up his horn and released it, knocking back Mico with an explosion on his previous position.

Naeus charged at Mico, but he was blasted by a ball of dark magic from the unicorn. With the skeleton stunned for a second, he grasp at Naeus' hind legs and spins him, the skeleton laughing before being thrown into the large rock head-first. He looked up a bit and was met by a kick, creating a larger hole in the rock. Mico grabbed his shoulders and smashes his head to the right side of the rock 3 times, the last one being the strongest. Mico wasn't sure if Naeus got knocked out cold, but he ignored it anyways.

He yeeted the skeleton in front of the 10 meters big rock and punches it 2 times, destroying a chunk of it. Mico proceeds to push it down it in Naeus' direction, burying him with a large chunk of rock. Unfortunately, due to the force he applied to shove it, it caused an earthquake that shook the forest, with trees moving, some parts of rocks falling off, and dust cloud appearing in front of Mico before disappearing in seconds. Mico, covered in alot of scratches and bruises, decides to walk back home slowly.



The same time the earthquake happened...

On her cottage, Fluttershy was doing her daily routine, which is providing foods for the animals and other forms of care. But when she was outside her cottage, she felt a mild rumbling on the ground, it continued for a few seconds before coming to a stop. Fluttershy looked at the direction of the Everfree Forest, which is now snowy due to Winter Wrap-Up being close. She made a confused look being going back to her daily routines.



Back to Mico...

Mico was seen walking back home, only a few steps after he ended the fight with the skeleton. However, his feeling of peace was interrupted again as he felt the ground tremble, forcing him to crouch.

"Leaving so soon?!"

Mico looked back and stood up as the large rock was hurled upward and falling on him, fortunately he summoned Justin's scythe and hit the large rock, shattering it to pieces. The same time he did that, Naeus was flying on him while being covered in flames and ready to punch him, however Mico reacted faster than before and caught Naeus' burning hoof. The latter tried again with his left hoof, but was caught again and Mico pushed him while turning to left. 

Mico(while blue flames and blue lightning starts surrounding him) did a forceful pushed on the skeleton until the latter's hind legs are now on the cracks on the ground as he said, "When Black Entity sent me here, he wanted us to go back to Earth, but..."

At the start Naeus' sentence, the unicorn applied more force, so much that more lightnings are appearing from Mico's body, some snows being blown below their hooves and a few seconds later, cracks appearing below them as even more appeared alongside the large crack created by the large rock falling on Naeus previously.

"...You, you had to act all proud." Naeus muttered, more cracks appearing in the Everfree Forest while some pieces of earth are falling below. "Throw whatever you have at me... I'll keep coming." he speaked again, the camera zooming in to focus on both Mico and Naeus.

The rock in the background falling with the tree besides it having the same fate. "That old body will give out. But before I end this, I want you to remember one thing... I can't feel any of this." With that, he let go of Mico's left hoof and hit him in the face. He stumbled backward from the punch before Naeus stomped down his fore hooves, creating a pillar of fire that sends Mico upward several meters. The skeleton grasp at his body, but Mico broke from it and grabbed Naeus by his shoulder.

With that, he punched Naeus twice before his body is below that of Naeus', giving the latter an advantage and allowing him to kick Mico down with both hind legs, causing his blue flaming(and lightning) aura to disappear. When he was about to fall in the large fault, he summoned his own sword and striked it down on the edge of the crack, effectively slowing down his fall but have him tens of meters below the ground, rubbles are also falling on the vertical stab Mico's sword made.

Mico then retracts his stone sword to his saddlebag and teleports it back to the cabin, and proceeds to climb up to resume the fight.

"You've seen it with your own eyes; not only you can't hurt me, you can't defeat me!" Naeus yelled and bragged at the same time, but Mico didn't care and continued climbing up.

"This fight is pointless. Your struggle is pointless."

(Once again, Mico never cared, because he grown up to be a mature stallion)

"It didn't have to be this way." Naeus said, with Mico a few meters away from the ground. But just as he grabbed a hold of the ground's snow, Naeus stomped on it while shouting, "Pathetic stallion."

The stomp causes what Mico grabbed onto shatter. Mico, while standing on a chunk of ground by hind legs, got launched on the opposite direction and hit the other side of the fault. "You can't win." Naeus boasted as Mico stood up.

"I feel nothing. But you.. you feel everything. Yet you, you keep trying. Even the 6 mares are stronger than you."

While listening to what the skeleton was saying, Mico's blood boiled with his injuries popping out of existence. "And if you just accepted the offer, it wouldn't have ended this way." Naeus finally finished as Mico looked upon him.

"But no..." Suddenly, Naeus lunged forward, jumped to reach the other side and was about to punch Mico, only for the latter to sidestep him. "Let's finish this." The skeleton said after landing on the other side and before fighting Mico for the 3rd time.

Mico started by firing a magic bolt twice, hitting Naeus with perfect accuracy before he jumped a few meters in the air. Mico tried dodging his move, but the skeleton destroyed the tree nearest to the former while falling and has flaming aura. His fall creating an explosion twice an average pony's size, causing Mico to tumble and fall in his rear.

"You can't beat me!" Naeus yelled, before getting a punch 2 times and ducking under the 3rd one. With the unicorn caught off guard, Naeus punched him in the breast, but dodged his uppercut. Unfortunately, Mico is vulnerable again, as the burning skeleton punched him in the head in a downward motion. Soon, Mico recovered as Naeus rolled backwards and stomped his fore hooves, sending a wave of flames that Mico dodged(by rolling to the right).

Mico summoned his sword, ran up to Naeus and swinged it 2 times, hitting him successfully. Naeus fought back with 2 punches, 1st punch being dodged by the blue pony and the 2nd one hitting him in the cheek. Again, Naeus lunged and about to do a downward punch against Mico, but he blocked it by creating a shield made of blue energy and swinged his stone sword, knocking back the skeleton a few meters away and creating a powder of snow where he got yeeted.

Unexpectedly, Naeus did a zig-zag as Mico's eyes widened in surprise, before getting kicked in his right hind leg and tumble. To catch the skeleton off guard, Mico jumps up and got back to his hooves and swings his sword, knocking him back a few meters. Naeus raised his fore legs and stomped, sending a wave of fire towards the blue unicorn, but the latter countered it by shooting a blast of water from his horn.

Mico dashed forward and swinged his stone sword, which has ice aura on it. Shockingly, Naeus blocked it with his left hoof despite burning and punched him with his other hoof. Mico got knocked around 3 meters back, forcing him to roll backwards and stand up. Again, Naeus dashed in front of Mico and punched, again dodged, he uppercutted and Mico cannot dodge on how close he was. He did a downward punch on Mico for the 2nd time, again he blocked it with the same shield and swings his stone sword on the skeleton, knocking the latter a few meters.

Naeus dashes towards Mico with an intent of punching him, but the latter sidestepped him as if he was just walking past him. He swinged his sword 2 times and then kicked the skeleton with his hind legs, all attacks successfully hitting their marks. The 3rd of the consecutive attacks knocked Naeus back, the latter then stomped his hooves again and another stream of fire headed to the blue unicorn's direction. Fortunately, he jumped over it and dashes towards his opponent as he swings his stone sword, in which Naeus leaped away from it. 

Naeus roared as he jumps tens of meters off the ground, leaving a flaming trail where he originally was. Mico looked up and his eyes widened before teleporting away in a flash. A second later, Naeus landed, creating an explosion like before, except it is a bit bigger. A second after the explosion occurred, Mico appeared facing the opposite direction and then looked behind, seeing Naeus standing around rubbles as the latter mocked, "Pathetic."

Angered by the insult, Mico teleported in front of him and punched him 2 times, he swinged his sword 2 times as well but Naeus teleported to Mico's right side a few meters before the latter could hit him. The skeleton slammed his front hooves down, once again sending a wave of fire that Mico dodged as he hid behind a nearby tree and mocked, "Using the same move again."

Shortly after saying it, he did a surprise attack against the skeleton and swinged his sword, covered with icy aura once more. His attack was obviously blocked by Naeus, only with his right hand instead of left and punched Mico, sending him a few meters away, destroying the tree behind him and rolling backwards as well. With a timing, he stopped himself from rolling backwards, however the skeleton did another unexpected attack on him by punching him on his shoulder. Naeus did another punch, but Mico wasn't going to be fooled again, the latter summoning a circular shield made of energy and deflected the burning skeleton's fist. With the skeleton's guard down for another time, he hurled his own sword in the air and kicked Naeus with his hind legs, knocking him back atleast 3-4 meters as he jumped in the air and tried to grabbed Mico sword, but it was out of his reach and falls to the ground.

Naeus landed and creating an explosion for the 3rd time, with the stone sword going back to Mico's telekinetic grasp. He hurled his sword once more to the air, this time going higher and higher. As it goes closer to the clouds, it slowly builds up blue energies and lightnings around it, even if it surpassed the clouds.

Back to Mico and Naeus' fight, they dashed to each other and exchanged blows, before Mico knocks back Naeus with a punch. The skeleton slamming his hooves again and sending a fire wave, in which Mico dodged it by rolling to the right. The pony rushed forward and drove his fist towards the skeleton's skull, but was blocked and got a punch instead. Neus teleported around 6 feet to the left and dashed towards Mico with a fist held back and then jabbed it. Fortunately, Mico blocked it with another shield constructed from blue energy, just as his sword falls behind him and enveloped it in cyan aura. He brought it closer and swinged it to hit Naeus, knocking the latter back and nearly falls into the fault.

...If not for his ability to fly.

Naeus blew a stream of fire from his horn and forcing Mico to roll away from it. "I will end you!" Naeus exclaimed as he docked under Mico's sword, but gets hit for the 2nd swing. Naeus transformed his right hoof into a skeletal dragon claw and gripped Mico's neck, but the latter did the same and slammed the former in the ground. He grabbed the skeleton's hind legs and attempted to hurl him down in the fault, which failed as Naeus grabbed onto the edge and stood up.

He approaches Mico, who was about to swing his sword, but the latter countered it with an orange spectral sword. Both grabbed each other before Mico thrown him in the ground and placed himself below the skeleton while holding his head in a "snapping neck" manner. Naeus was struggling to break free from the unicorn until he found a way, which was elbowing his hoof-turned-claw holding his temple, but his tactic proved to be futile, for Mico grabbed him again.

"You are forgetting... the fact that I am a... skeleton that cannot feel anything. You're unlikely to make me finally feel something."

Mico was readying to break Naeus' neck as the latter said his last words, "DO IT! If you dare." at last, the blue unicorn finally snapped the skeleton's neck, breaking it. Mico grunted upon doing so and took a moment to look at Naeus' dead body before pushing his body aside, causing it to fall in the large crack. Mico took a few deep breaths while lying down, another scratches and bruises in his body, but lesser in numbers than before, other than that he was fine.

He stood up with a bit of struggling and flew off to go back to the cabin.



Mico opened the door and stepped inside. He made his way to the floor mat in front of him and removed it, then opened the wooden trapdoor.

Inside was Lloyd, Macoy and Justin. "MICO!" His youngest sibling leaped and hugged him as his back was press in the floor. 

"I was so worried about you... I thought-"

"I am alright." Mico interrupted Macoy as the latter ended the hug and looked at his older brother. His injuries are now minimal, regenerating until all of it disappeared. Macoy questioned, "If Naeus is the one you fought, then how did you struggled?"

Before the unicorn answers the question, Justin interjected, "That skeleton was one of the weakest enemies we fought, so he wishes to become stronger and trained to be at our level." While answering the question for him, he teleported besides them as he walks towards Lloyd and offers a hoof, which morphs into a claw. His younger brother grabbed on it and climbed up and joined in with Mico and Macoy.

"To become a gigachad?" Lloyd asked, earning a snort from Mico and a laugh from Macoy, Justin just smiled at his joke.

"Now enough, let's go gather our things, we are leaving." Mico said. With that, he and his siblings gather all their things and store it in their saddlebags that can store infinite objects. He closed the trapdoor and covered it with the same floor mat.

Macoy, Lloyd and Justin stepped outside, followed by Mico closing the door. Lloyd turned around and asked, "Soooo, where do we go to stay next?"

Mico answered, "To a place where snow is everywhere. Justin? A map of Equestria?"

The alicorn in question lit up his horn and a map appeared in front of him, which was snatched by Mico and looked at it.

"Ahhh, here it is. We go to the Frozen North. It's going to be a LONG trip." the blue unicorn said as he and his brothers prepared to go to the North. Macoy puts on the saddles on the timberwolves back, Justin putting their belongings on the sleigh and Mico and Lloyd waiting for the 2 to finish.

"Yes. But an important one." Justin added, a smile adorning his face. He and his younger siblings rode on the sleigh while JR was in the very back. He flapped the bridle attached to the timberwolves and the latter moved forward, pulling the sleigh.
