MLP: The Four Infinity.
Chapter 1: INCOMING!!! A new kind of creature lands in Equestria 

Today was the first day of Summer in Equestria. Over here in the capital city: Canterlot, there was a celebration being held and I, Princess Celestia, have invited my very faithful student and her very best friends, that wielded The Elements of Harmony and their names are: Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. And of course, Twilight's Dragon assistant: Spike, was also there with them to enjoy the 'Grand Solace/Lunar Festival'. They all came to see both me and my sister, Princess Luna, which we ourselves were over watching the festival from a stage that was set just for us and saw the group approaching towards us. I got up from my seat and went over to them, while Luna as well got up and followed closely behind me.

"Princess Celestia!" Twilight began to run up to me and hugged me.

"Ah Twilight, it's good to see that you and your friends can make it to the Festival." I said as I hugged Twilight under me. The others soon came and gave a short bow to me and Luna. "So what do you girls think of the festival?" Celestia asks them.

"Well Ah'll be, ya'll know how to satisfy everyponies needs, you got everything in here, ain't that right girls?" They all nodded in agreement with Applejack, we actually do have what anypony would've ever dream of, maybe even more than that from what they've already seen so far. Luna and I have been planning this for sometime now and decided to make it official.

"Yeah I'll say, I mean look how big this place is, it's like a big-super-duper-ultra-massive party for all of Equestria to enjoy and have all the sweet tasty treats you can eat and fun carnival rides that will make you ride on them again and again...." Pinkie Pie, talking long and fast at everything she sees around her with her friends and other ponies, while we just stood there in amusement of the pink pony's excitement.

"Yeah there's even a showcase of the Wonderbolts showing off their new tricks!" Rainbow Dash shouted out in excitement and dashed off to the stadium, leaving a dash rainbow blur trail behind her at high speed.

"Well, I'll be heading in the markets to find some gems and material for my fashion designs." Rarity stated and trotted over to the market section, Spike even went along with her to grab some gems for him to chow down on.

Me, Luna and Twilight looked towards the other two since Pinkie was already off to one of the rides, or eating some of the many sweets. "What about you two?" Twilight asked.

"Oh, I was gonna go see that new petting zoo they have here." Fluttershy said in a low tone shy voice that was often spoken as always and made her way there, but before she could, we hear a loud rumbling sound coming from Applejack's stomach.

"Heh, Ah'll be at the food court." She said in embarrassment as the others and I gave a little laugh, soon AJ joined in. After a while of laughing, Applejack and Fluttershy went off and gone where they want to be, all that was left, was Twilight herself.

"Well then Twilight, what would you be doing?" I asked Twilight.

"Oh well, I'll be down at the book market they have here to check out some of the new books they have in store there." Twilight answered. No surprises there really, I always knew Twilight since she was a little filly, she would study magic spells all day and night hard, until she perfected it to its greatest.

"Alright then Twilight, if you and your friend want to, you can all stay here in the castle, we already have rooms prepared for you and the festival only lasts until midnight." Twilight thought about this for a moment and when she was finished, she turned to face me and nodded.

"Sure princess, we don't mind sleeping in the castle for the night." Twilight said with a smile on her face and hugged me one last time and gave a short bow to Luna before heading off towards the book market.



The girls were having the time of their lives, Pinkie Pie was going on every ride she could find and eating all the sweet tasty treats she can find, and all the while, hopping and singing during that time, or just zipping through place-to-place. 

Rainbow Dash was enjoying the show that the Wonderbolts were putting, one of them known as Spitfire: Captain of the Wonderbolts, spotted Dash and wanted her to perform her famous 'Sonic Rainboom' for them, which she was keen on, of course. 

Rarity was busy getting her material and equipment she needed for her design, Spike was there with her to help out with the bags, soon they found a market full of gems, jewels and diamonds. Spikes mouth was beginning to drool at the sight as Rarity only shook her head in amusement, so she bought two bags, one for her, the other for Spike to eat. 

Fluttershy was down at the petting zoo and the animals there were better than the ones in the garden, those kept running away from her for some reason, well at least these ones were more reasonable and more smaller and younger. 

Applejack was making her way towards the food court, once there she found out that they were having a eating contest and she was up for it, and after a while, she won the contest and the crowd was going wild for her. As for Twilight, she was at the book stores, checking out what books were there that might interest her and as soon as she found one, she started to read it.

And they pretty much needed this, a break from all the chaotic adventures they had to go through and such. But even though they were having so much fun, I can still see that a part of them wished something new would happen, something that was out of this world.

It was 11:59pm and there was one more surprise that me and Luna had in stored for everypony that was there and they all gather to see what it was, a minute later, firework started to pop up into the sky and light up the night with its many colors. But during this time, something else was happening, something nopony ever would expect, luckily somepony did and warned us what was coming, or more preferably, falling from the sky. Looking up to the sky, we all saw four meteors coming in fast, two were heading right towards the city and the other two were heading for Ponyville.

There wasn't much time, in a few moments the meteors were going to hit. Rainbow Dash was sent back to Ponyville, along with the Wonderbolts and a squad of Royal Guards to warn everypony what was happening, while the others help out in Canterlot, Twilight was with me and Luna. Her brother, Captain of the Royal Guards: Shining Armor and his wife and my niece: Princess Cadence, were also there to help cast the spell to deflect the meteors. Me, Luna and all the others got themselves ready for the spell and casted it just in time, all that was left, was to wait and hope this works.

The spell we used was to help empower the shield, making it stronger and more bigger so that Ponyville wouldn't be harmed, the meteors were getting close, in a few seconds they were about to hit the shield, but as soon as they hit the shield, we were all shocked at what happen next.



The shield was broken, the meteors have broken right through the shield! But luckily the shield absorbed most of the impact and slowed them down a bit so that they wouldn't cause that much destruction, but the shockwave was still powerful as they landed. The first two meteors crash landed in the center of the festival, creating a big crater in the landing and destroyed most of the festival stores, while the other two were heading straight for Ponyville, fortunately they just landed right outside of the town.

Me and the others went to investigate the meteors, as soon as we got there, the smoke was clearly out and revealing the meteors. Only to find out, that they weren't ordinary ones, no. This brought, yet another, shocking surprise to all of us as we were all in awe struck by what we were looking at. The meteors weren't all molted rock; they were actually two big huge crystals.

I then turn to my sister and said, "Luna, go check that one over there. I'll check on this one here." Luna nodded and went to one of the crystal meteors while I went to the other. Twilight and the others were there waiting up on the edge and watching.

Luna was examining the big crystal on the left that at a certain distances, it glowed a dark shaded purple light, while I was examining the other on the right and it too, glowed. But this one was glowing in a crimson-blood red light and they were flowing with power that sent chills down my spine and the same can be said for Luna too. We could not tell weather these two crystals were evil or not, this made me worried all the more. 

The two of us decided to move up to them and examine it a little more, but the more closer we move up, the more power we felt was getting stronger and stronger and I wasn't liking it.



[Twilight's POV]
I was starting to get worried as me and the others were just standing on the edge of the crater, watching them, "Please be careful princesses." I whispered, mostly to myself.

"It's going to be OK Twilight." My big brother, Shining Armor, was right beside me while princess Cadence, his wife and my childhood foalsitter, was on the other side of me, as she extended her left wing out and drape it over me, trying to comfort me.

"Everything is going to be just fine, you'll see." Cadence said in a soft, soothing voice, as she held me under her wing.

"I know." I said with a smile, which soon faded, "But it's just that..."

"We know Twilight." Shining Armor knew what I was talking about, "We can also feel it too, even though we're all the way up here." He was dead accurate and he knew it. The power that was being channel throughout of those crystals was massive, in fact so massive, that it may even exceeded both of the princesses. I can even see it on my friends face that they too, can feel it. For now, it was somewhat even with the two sister's power.

The two were up close to them, while they were thoroughly examing the two crystals, Luna discover something, "Sister, there's something inside here!" She shouted out to her sister.

"It's the same here too!" Celestia replied, having to see the same thing as Luna.

"What do you think they are?!" Luna asked Celestia.

"I don't know Luna!" She answered. Not knowing what it was, there was only one thing left to do, "We'll have to look into them!"

And so, they went in to find way to open up the crystals. But as soon as they touched them, the light renegading from them started to shine brighter and brighter, it was making the ground shake and sending off a high-pitch noise as well. It was too much for any of us to even see what was happening, a few seconds later, beams of light started to shoot up towards the night sky, it also created a shock-wave which it forced all of us falling to the ground at the same time as well.

Soon the light was fading away and all the ponies and I got back up on our hoofs and started to run over to the princesses and help them up.

"Princess Celestia, are you alright!?" I ask in a worried tone.

Celestia looked up at me with a smile, "I'm fine Twilight. But what about Luna?" She asks.

"She’s fine malady, little dizzy, but fine." Shining Armor spoke up as he pointed over to where Luna was. Cadence was with Luna at the time, helping her up and using some spells to heal her of any bruises.

Celestia signed in relief, "That's good to hear," she then turns her intentions towards the two crystals, or where they were last seen before the light, "Now... Let’s go see who, or what was in those crystals." After saying that, she started to walk forward, that is until she stumbles on upon something.



[Back to Celestia]
As I was just heading towards to where the crystals use to be, I stumble across some objects that were lying in front of me. Most of them look very odd, coming in different shapes and sizes; one thing I did recognize within them was a sword, a very big sword to be exact. The height of it must be somewhat stand up to my nose and the width of it was a few inches wider than me, but the designs on it was another story, it had strange, yet frightening patterns engraved in it, so it gave me a creepy feeling and I just move along to find the... being. I didn't have to go looking for it, or should I say him, for he was just there, lying on the ground on his back, and he was a human, I know because their kind use to walk among us ponies, before things... got out of control with them and we have to send them away. And as to how they came back though, is a mystery, whoever brought them here, or whatever, will have to wait.

As I move closer to him, I saw that he had long, spiky hair; all red with black tips on them and then there were three hair liners on the front covering his left eye a bit. His body was big and musically, probably a soldier no doubt, and the clothes he was wearing were all black. Black jeans, black singlet that said 'No Fear' on it with a skull in the middle and two swords in the background cross in an 'X' with skulls at the end of the handles, black boots, black leather finger-less gloves, and he even wore a black mask that covered the half bottom of his face. I look over to his left arm and saw that there were patterns on it, not sure if it was a cutie mark but... I heard him groaning as he tried to wake up, as soon as he open his eyes, I saw that they were the brightest shade of emerald green I have ever seen, even under the illumining moonlight, they shone just as bright as the sun.

As he look towards me, ours gazes were locked onto each other and that's all we did in the next few minutes, he look afraid, confused, lost even.

"Who... are you?" Those were the first words I heard from him and the way he said, it was in a low tone, kind of like Fluttershy but a little bit louder then hers, it was also a bit deep, heavy, rough kind of way too.

"Please, do not be afraid," I said to him, to insure him that I mean him no harm, "I am Princess Celestia, what's your name?" I asked him.

It seems that he has something tucked under his singlet when he sat up and moved his hand to his neck and as soon as he found what he looking for, he pulled it out and showed me three necklaces: The first was a cross that had a square in it, the second was a greenstone which had patterns that looked the same as the ones on his arm, as for the third one he shown me, it had his name, his rank and the squad he's from.

Name: Fenix Ravcore.
Rank: 1st Lieutenant.
Squad: Alpha.
Class: Heavy Weapon Specialist.

So I was right, he IS a soldier and from the look of him and he's a weapons specialist type of soldier. After that he got up onto his feet and started stretching out, from what I could tell, his height is probably up to my muzzle, or a few more inches then that.

"Where am I?" He asked while cracking his neck.

"You're in a land called Equestria and I am it's co-ruler, and there are others. Others of your kind." I answered and he look back at me.

"Others? How many? Where?"

"There are four of you in total; two have landed just outside of Ponyville. While you and the other one landed here in Canterlot." His eyes went wide after hearing this.

"'Landed', you mean... we fell from the sky?" He ask, still a little shock at the information I gave him.

"Yes, luckily nopony was hurt and all four of you were all sealed up inside a crystal when you landed." He gave a sigh of relief, knowing that no one got hurt and that the others were still alive, he then turns to where the items were and walk towards them as I followed behind him.

But before we could reach them, a spark of light flashed in front of us and out popped my student, "Twilight, what are you doing down here?"



[Fenix’s POV]
I don't know what's going on here, or how all of this happen, but it didn't matter. What's happening right now is important, and right now a purple lavender unicorn just popped up out of nowhere right in front of me and the princess, her mane and tail were straight and it had a mix of dark violet, light purple and pink, but separate. Her eyes were also a purple lavender and there seem to be some sort of marking on her flank, it's a six pointed star, colored in red or some sort, surrounded by a few white star dots. She then answered the princess, "I came to see if you... Were..." She trailed off from her sentence, probably because she saw me standing before her as I look down at her, "Uh hi there..." She said nervously with a smile, as I only gave her a nod in response as me and her look at each other for the moment. 

A few awkward silences later I was introduced to her by the Princess."Twilight Sparkle, I would like you meet Fenix Ravcore," she said with smile and then looks back at me. "Fenix, this is my star pupil and faithful student, Twilight." Really? This little pony was the princess's student. Well I'll be damned.

We look at each other for a few seconds until Twilight broke the silence and ask me a question "Mr Fenix, sir, if you don't mind me asking you this, but, Uh..." I bent down on one knee to listen to what she was asking me, "You ARE a human, right?" Well... this caught me off, how did she know about my kind? Or 'How did THEY know?' I should say, because I'm sure everyone else must have known about us, but still it doesn't make any sense at all, even we thought that Unicorns and Pegasus were just a fairy tale made for kids. And there's also one other thing that has been bugging me... Princess Celestia. Why wasn't she freak out about seeing a human just like her student, was she hiding something from all of us? Ah screw it, I'll ask her later when the time's right.

I thought back to Twilight's question and answer it, "Yes, I am..." What follow after that was, well... her jumping up and down around me in a circle and repeatedly saying 'I was right' a few times before she stop in front of me, "And also, you don't have to call me 'Mr.' it's makes me feel old, just Fenix is Okay." She seem to have blushed slightly... in embarrassment of calling me Mr.

"Ohh... sorry about that Fenix," Twilight apologized to me with a sheepish smile as I just waved it off and saying 'it's Okay' to her and she smiled at that, "So, do you remember what happen to you and how you got here?" She asked me, I only shook my head, not knowing what had happen to me, or how I even got here, and I guess that can be said the same for the other three... whoever they are, hopefully some folks I know at least.

Looking back at the stash that was left on the ground, I got up and started to move towards them with Twilight and her mentor following closely behind me. Now I may not sound or look like I'm freaked out about all this, but really I am a little weird-ed out, But strangely... at the same time, it doesn't seem to bother me one bit. As we reached the stash of 'weapons' that were lying on the ground, I felt something tugging at my pants as I looked down and saw Twilight looking up at me with a puzzled look on her face, "What is it?" I ask.

"Fenix, what are those things? The sword I understand, but..." She then pointed her hand--- err hoof towards the 'other' weapons, "Those ones, I have never seen any of them around." She then looked back at me, "Do you know what they are?"

"Yes..." I answer her as I bent down on one knee to look at her, "I do."

"Really? Then, what are they?" I look away from her for a moment, I REALLY didn't want to answer her, nor could I lie to her, her kind has never saw these 'kinds' of weapons, neither did they thought about inventing something like them. I didn't want her or the others to know, I didn't...

"Fenix, what's wrong? Are you alright?" she ask as she placed a hoof on my left shoulder as I look back at her. Her face filled with worry and fear for me, she probably thought she went too far, or got too personal with the subject... if only she knew... but nonetheless, I nodded to her and she smiled happily and was about to ask me something.

But before she could, "Twilight," Princess Celestia interrupted, "Perhaps it is best if you don't ask him anymore questions, my young pupil." Twilight looked back at her with confused expression on her face.

"Why?"

"Sometimes it's a complicated subject if you don't know how to explain it in a more... glamorous way."
How right she was. This, indeed, is a complicated subject to explain to her, and judging from her personality, she seems to be that type of wanting to learn everything and maybe had her head in the books for way too long. A lot of things can happen when you spend your whole life in the research lab and in your studies... if they even have labs, which I doubt it. But when you're on a different planet, you'll never know what they might have and what they do on a daily basis, but still... I had a feeling that they weren't evil, they're too nice and generous to be like that, maybe I could start to like it here.



Twilight seem to understand what her teach was getting at and decided to dismiss the question as we went over to the weapons. As soon as we got there, I realize that the sword and the guns were off a couple of games I played back at home; The sword look a lot like "War's" sword off of 'Darksiders I: Wrath of War' and the guns were off of 'Gears of War'. And by that, I mean from all three of the GoW: Lancer, Vulcan mini-gun, Boomshot, Incendiary grenades, two Gorgon pistols and a lot of other weapons from it too... Damn man, what the hell's up with that? Well it doesn't matter, I went over to them and collected them all, the rest I stored in a big enough military bag laying beside them, so I grab it and started to put the rest in it. Princess Celestia and Twilight Sparkle came over when I was finish, but before we went over to where the other human was, some other ponies came to where we were.

"Oh darlings, are you two Okay--- Oh hello." The unicorn pony that spoke to us was a pure snow white colored unicorn; her mane and tail all curled up nicely and the color of it was a nice dark shade of blue, well it's a bit dark in the night so I wouldn't know, but the moonlight seem to add to her beauty, her eyes were a bright azure blue color and her flanks marking were that of three blue diamonds, and her voice was that of a refine British woman, she then spoke again, "I'm sorry, I don't believe we've met. Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Rarity. What's yours?"

Rarity introduced herself and asked for my name. I bent down and told her my name "The name's Fenix Ravcore, it's nice to meet you Miss Rarity." She seems to be surprise about how quiet I am, and I think I saw her blushed slightly.

"Oh my stars, that sounds like a lovely name you have," She stated as she said my name. "Fenix Ravcore, I like that."

"I'm honored, but I don't think mine can compete with yours." OK I don't know where those words came out from, so don't ask.

"Aww, you don't have to be modest darling," She said, "I doubt my name can compare yours. But why the silences dear? Don't you talk that much?" She asked. Nothing new to me, I always get ask that question a lot, so I'm use to it.

"No, I don't talk that much."

"Why is that Fenix?"

"I just... don't feel like talking." I told her, I wasn't really much of a conversational type, "But I talk when I need to, so during most of the time, no, you won't hear a peep outta me." She seems to understand. After that, more ponies trotted towards us; some seem to be friends with Twilight and Rarity, but the others were another thing.

These ones look like guards for the princess no doubt: Both white Pegasi and brown Unicorns all wearing golden armor, the helmets were that of a Spartans one, only the helmets mane was either blue, or white, not red.

But that's not what bothers me, no, it was the way they were looking at me as they came towards us, I didn't like it. It looks as if they were looking at me like I was the enemy and I was really starting to get piss off about it. I know I don't say much about myself, but if there's one thing you want to know about me: is to not. Piss. Me. The FUCK off!!

Luckily Celestia saw this and stepped in, "Be still my guards, everything is alright..." She then glances back at me for a second and then back to her guards, "This young man here poses no threat." After that, they stood down and stop glaring at me.

One of them came towards us, it seems that this one was slightly bigger than the rest and most likely their commanding officer: It's a male Unicorn no doubt, his fur color also white and he was wearing a 'Royal Guards' uniform over it. His mane and tail colors were a dark and a light blue, his eyes were also blue as well and his marking on his flank seems... familiar... he too also had a six pointed star, the same star that Twilight Sparkle has, only difference is that this one was on a shield and it had three white stars on top. I wonder, is this stallion and twilight siblings or relatives?

"Shining!" Twilight called out his name and started running towards him.

"Twiley! Hey, there you are." He reached out and gave her a hug, "Why did you go off like that? You would've been hurt."

As those two were talking to each other, I look over to Celestia and ask, "Are they brother and sister?"

"Why don't you go over and find out?" 

"It's not my place to get between their family bonding, such as now." I said to her.

"OK, I see where you're coming from," She said to me with a smile, understanding from my point of view and respects to others, "Yes, they are siblings. That there is Shining Armor; her older brother and he is my Captain of the Royal Guards."

"Wow... So it's not just Twilight you have as your personal student, you also have her brother as your Captain?" She nodded at this and I was just standing there... speechless.

Celestia laughed a little and the others did as well, must have overheard us. She then asked, "Is it really 'that' hard to believe?!" I nodded my head bluntly, still a bit speechless about the two siblings, "Well I see your point. Even I was a bit surprise about it." She pointed out.



During our conversation, the princess turned her gaze towards my left arm and asked me this, "Fenix, what is that on your arm?" I looked at my arm to see my family bond tattoo.

"It's... my family's bond tattoo."

"Your family's bond tattoo?" I started to explain what a ‘tattoo’ to her is and after that, Twilight and her brother, Shining Armour, came towards us.

"Shining," Twilight spoke, "I like you to meet a new friend and the first human, Fenix Ravcore. Fenix, this is Shining Armor, my BBBFF." I look at her in confusion to what she just said at the end.

"What's BBBFF?" I asked.

"Oh sorry, that stands for 'Big Brother Best Friend Forever'." She blushed in embarrassment while Shining chuckled at her.

"Heh heh, that's my little sister for ya, it's nice to meet you." I nodded at him as his eyes were scanning me and the first thing he sees is the sword on my back and the bag, "Uh Fenix, aren't those heavy on your back?" He ask and this caught me off guard... he was right, I should have been getting a sore back from carrying this many heavy objects like the sword and the guns, but no... it doesn't feel... heavy, in fact I didn't feel anything from them, what's happening to me!?

"Fenix, is everything OK?" I was snap back to reality when Celestia came in front of me with a worried look on her face and the same could be said about everyone else, "Fenix, what's wrong, are you alright?" She asked.

I shook my head, "No, I'm not alright..... I'm not even sure if I'm human anymore." After that statement, Celestia placed a hoof on my shoulder.

"Don't worry 1st Lieutenant; we will help you get through this."

"Wait, hold on, are you saying that he's a soldier?" Oh right. Shining and 'Twiley' never knew I was a soldier in the first place.

"Sorry, that sort of slip my mind and yeah... I am." This shocked them completely... Hell even the rest of the group were just as surprise as the two were. 

Actually, now that I think about it, I haven't described the others, nor did I explain what the princess looks like so I'll start off with her. She was a tall pony with a Unicorns horn and Pegasus wings, all white with golden royal jewelries, her eye color were a purple rosy type I think, her mane and tail was... how do I explain it... moving as if the wind was blowing and the colors were blue, green and pink and the marking was that of a... sun. Hmm, I wonder what that means. I'll ask them that later.

As for the other three; one was an orange normal earth pony, with a cowboy hat on her, so I suspected that she's a southern American cowgirl, her mane and tail were both tied up like pony tails and they were color blonde, green eyes and her marking was that of three red apples.

The other was a yellow Pegasus, with a long, light pink mane and tail, cyan color eyes and her markings were three butterflies. And judging by her personality, she seems to be the shy, timid type, because she's now hiding her face behind that mane of hers...

As for the last one, she was a pink earth pony with a pink, poofy mane and tail too; blue eyes and her marking were three balloons. But this one was somehow.... different, as in her personality, because she's smiling right at me and it's growing bigger by the second, then all of a sudden... she was right up in my face!

"Hi I'm Pinkie Pie, I'm a friend of Twilight and Rarity over there, that orange pony over there is Applejack and the one next to her is Fluttershy, so Mr Fenix Ravcore sir, what do you like, I bet you like parties huh huh huh? Do you do you do you..." Jesus this one can talk and I thought high school had a lot of chatterboxes and fast talkers. But this 'Pinkie Pie' character makes them look like a fucking joke.... and she's STILL talking and asking me a whole bunch of questions! And I don't even know half of she said!

"Pinkie Pie!" A voice called out and I turn to find out it was Twilight's voice, "What are you doing? Get down from him right now!" She demanded.

"Why? I was just asking him some questi---"

"Pinkie!" Rarity interrupted her, "Get down and stop asking him questions, you're invading his personal space, and that's rude!" And just like that, Pinkie jumped off of me and hopped over to them, the others known as 'Applejack' and 'Fluttershy' soon followed and all five of them were locked in conversation.

I was about to go and see the other human when all of a sudden this flash of light came out nowhere, in front of me and out popped another one of Celestia's kind. Only this one was much smaller than her. It was a dark night-sky blue mare, from the looks of it, her mane and tail were moving the same way as Celestia, the only differences is that hers look just like the night, with the stars and all that in it. She had blue teal eyes and marking was a moon. 

Her sudden appearances caught everyone’s attention, but that wasn't the only reason. "GREETINGS THY FELLOW HUMAN, WE HOPE THOU HAD A SAFE LANDING, YES!!!!!" Okay... that was loud and the ringing in my head is going to make my ears bleed out. I nodded my head in response and she was about to open her mouth, but only to be blocked by Princess Celestia hoof.

"Luna, old habits resurfacing again."

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry about that." This 'Luna' said without using that loud voice of hers. "I'm Princess Luna, Tia's little sister." So she's the other co-ruler of these lands.

"Luna, this is 1st Lieutenant Fenix Ravcore, he's one of those silent type ponies--- I-I-I mean people!" Luna laughed at her sister’s mistake, this also made me chuckle a little, while 'Tia' was standing there all flushed.

"Uh... Fenix," Luna stop laughing and look at me, "Again, I'm sorry for what happen back there. I didn't really mean to use the Royal Canterlot Voice." She continued, "Back then, it was traditional to address our subject with that type of vocal volume, and that dates back a thousand years ago."

"Wait... a thousand years ago... and you two were there around that time?" I asked. It's hard to believe that they're 'that old', then again, I'm on a different planet that's full of mythical creatures and then another question came to mind, "Plus, what species are you guys anyways?"

"I can vouch for that question." I turn my head to see that Twilight had heard what I ask, "The princesses’ race is called Alicorns, and they’re the most powerful ponies in all of Equestria." She said with a grin on her face, this made both princesses blush at that statement. "And their kinds are the only ponies that are immortal." Okay... I wasn't expecting that at all, but it does explain a lot. Applejack came to me and she seems to have my tattoo the way she's looking at it.

"Say partner, what's that on yer left arm there? Is that yer cutie mark?" She asked me and got me confused with the last two words.

What's a 'Cutie Mark'? Is that what they call it? Regardless I answer her, "No, it's not a... cutie mark. What is that anyway?"

Everypony around me, including the guards, staring at me in disbelief, of me not knowing what a cutie mark is.

"Well... if it's not a cutie mark, then what is it Fenix?" Twilight ask.

"A tattoo, my family bond tattoo. This is what my sister designed and first got, well not really her first tat but never mind that. It was the first for me when I turned eighteen," I pointed to it. "That there is my first tattoo, but it's not the only one I have on me." I said, only to have Pinkie Pie ask questions... again.

"Oh, oh, oh. Where are they? Can we see them? Huh, huh, can we, can we? Pretty pleasssssseeeee!?" The others seem to be wanting to see them as well, but unfortunately...

"Sorry girls, not now. I-- WE... need to go see the other human." They look at me in disappointment, but nodded all the same.

"Fenix," Luna spoke up before I even moved, "Before we go, I need to ask you about the human over there." I bent down to hear what she has to say, "Well it's just that... the other human looks a lot like you: his hairstyle is exactly like yours is, only the three hair liners in front covers his right eye, it's colors are jet black with dark purple tips. His skin is paler then yours is, and he wears the exact same clothes that you do now and the same height as you. So... can I ask: Is he your twin brother?" She finished as I sit there staring at the ground after she was done with the description.

I don't believe it. Even he's here too. I was overwhelmed with joy that I smiled a little. I looked back at her and answered her, "Yeah, I know him ALL too well." I got up and looked towards the guy I knew, "And sorry to disappoint you Luna, He WISHED that we were twins, but no we're not twins... we just get mistaken for that." She sighed in disappointment at this with her head down.

"But... we don't mind being called twins, really. We actually find that pretty funny." I said when I looked back at her and lifted her head up. "In fact, I and he are in the same unit, so we always get called that many times, even though we aren't brothers by blood. But there is the next best thing, which I think you and rest should know..." I looked over to the captain and his guards, "Especially you guys Cap'."

Shining Armour and the rest of the guards laughed a little, knowing full well of what I was saying, "How right you are Lieutenant, Brothers-in-arms?" Shining said.

"Brothers-in-arms, all the way to the very end." Shining and the guards all nodded their heads in agreement of that statement and Luna smiled upon that. Afterwards I got up and went towards to where my 'twin' was, "Now then... let’s go over and say hello to 1st Lieutenant Axel Tyiro." I said and we all walked over to where he was, and if that prick ain't up until then, I'll wake him up for them.



It wasn't a long walk of course, it only took us a moment when we arrived, and as soon as we got there, there was yet another Alicorn, possibly the same size as Luna is, only this one is a light pink, with a purple, pink, golden mane and tail, possibly the same colored eyes as Celestia only a bit darker than hers, her marking was a light blue diamond-shape heart with two golden laces below it, and she was right next to Axel, trying to wake the lazy jackass up, but to no avail.

There were also a group of guards beside her as well. Only these guards were completely different from Shining and that: These guards wore a very dark bluish armor instead of gold, their coats were grey, eyes were like yellow cat-like eyes, and their wings were bat-like wings, hell even their tails too.

I looked at the two sisters and ask, "Hey question, who are those guys? They look like guards but they’re different, why's that?"

"I can answer that." Luna said, "They are known as the Lunar guards. My very own bodyguards. Tia's ones are called the Solace guards. I'm certain you can figure out the rest."

"Hmm..... The Solace guards patrol during the day, while the Lunar guards patrol during the night, right?"

"That's correct." Luna answer. "You catch on pretty quickly don't you." I nodded as I looked back at the pink Alicorn

"OK, another question, who's that Alicorn, is she a princess as well." I ask but Twilight answered.

"Yes she is, her name is Cadance. She's the 'Princess of Love', she use to be my foalsitter." She looked towards her old babysi--- I mean 'foalsitter', I should say, "And now she is my sister-in-law."

"Wait WHAT!? She, the Princess of... Love... And your old... foalsitter, is now your sister-in-law!?" She smiled and nodded her head.

"Yeah, and guess who was it she married?" No way, her brother, Captain of the royal guards, was the one who married her.

"Jesus, your big bro, was the one who married her?"

"Yep, he sure did. Oh and plus, she's also the niece of the princesses."

My god...... the surprises just never cease do they? Regardless I looked over to the Princess Cadance, still trying wake Axel up. "Oh... that dumb-fucking asshole." I groaned and went over there with the others following me.

Princess Cadance and the Lunar guards saw me and the others coming over and Twilight ran over to her, the same with the princess. I look over at Shining with puzzled face. "What's up with those two, almost as if they never saw each other for a long time?"

Shining chuckled a little and said, "Oh they have this little dance they do when they meet up, they did it back when Twilight was just a little filly, just watch." I nodded and did what he told me. I looked back at the girls and... Oh god... they were performing that little 'Dance' of theirs: It first starts with them hopping on the spot a few times, next they ducked down and did a peek-a-boo kind of thing, then they sat up on their haunches and clapped their hooves together three times, lastly they stood up and shook their rumps in the air, and here are the lyrics that goes along with this. "Sunshine sunshine, ladybug awake, clap your hooves and do a little shake!"

After that I was well, dazed by their little cute performance, in fact it was so cute, that I think I felt a little blush coming around, luckily I had a mask covering half of my face so no one could see. Shining look at me and asked. "Well Fenix, what do ya think, huh?" It took me a few moments to collect my thoughts and replied.

"That's... Uh... pretty cute..." Yeah, I was left speechless I'll tell you that. Shining was laughing while his wife and sister came over to us.

Twilight came over to me, "Fenix, this is Cadance. And Cadance, this is 1st Lieutenant Fenix Ravcore. Ooh, and guess what, HE'S A HUMAN!!! ISN'T THAT GREAT, SOMETHING THAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE IN FICTION IS ACTUALLY STANDING HERE, THIS IS AMAZING, EEEEEEEE!!!!!!!"  Jesus FUCK woman, calm the FUCK down, honestly... and now she's jumping all around me again and this time squealing............ Just. Fucking. Great. 

But that was all soon stopped by Axel groaning and muttering out loud. I went pass Twilight and Cadance to get to that bastard and wake him up, but not before I dropped my bag in front of them and said without looking at them, "Wait here, would ya. I'll call you over." I then turn to face Luna. "Luna, could you come with me please?" She beamed a big smile at those words.

"Sure!" I nodded and we both walked over to him."Just one question Fenix: Why me?" She asks.

"Because..." I started, "You were the one who saw him first. Tell me, did you see anything else that came with him as well?" She seems to know what I was asking.

"Yes, the very same weapons you have... Except for the sword."

"Figure he gets the scythe, he always did like playing Death." She looked at me.

"How did you---"

"We are like brothers, remember? We know ourselves and each other more better than anyone." I said as she completely forgotten we knew each other and blushed in embarrassment.

"Oh... Heh, right."

"Anyway..." We stop in front of Axel and he look exactly like Luna described, the only difference is he's wearing a black T-shirt with a dragon holding a big massive sword with both of its forelegs, while standing on it hindlegs, just letting you know. 

"Luna, see if you can wake him up. I'll go get his things."

"OK." She nodded as I went to collect his weapons, which were found about 5 meters on his left.


As I expected, the scythe, or should I say two scythes, are off of 'Darksiders II: Death Lives'. I grabbed those two and the guns he would mostly want: a Lancer, Torque Bow, Mulcher, Frag grenades and two Boltok pistols. One thing did surprise me; there was no 'Hammer of Dawn'. He didn't have it, nor did I........ Strange. Almost as if whoever or whatever brought us here doesn't want any of us using it. Though I agree with its decision, if we use it, we're pretty much scaring the whole place with it and that's something I don't wanna do.

Shaking my head of the thought, I picked up the selected weapons, went back and founded that Luna was also having a hard time of waking him up... Jeez it's mostly the opposite: I'm the heavy sleeper and you'll have a tough time of waking me up. 

Regardless I walked over to her and dropped the weapons to the side, "Any luck?" I ask as I kneel down.

"Afraid not, he still won't wake up."

"Figures." I sighed as I got up, "Well... There's only one thing to do, but it's gonna hurt him... a lot." She looked at me with a confusing face, as to what I meant by that. I got up and walked to Axel's left side, pulled back my right leg and thrusted it into his side. In short: I kicked him up.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!" He shouted out loud that it brought the others here in a quick flash... OOWWW!!! The fuck!?

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR FENIX!!?" Luna scolded at me, not to mention she hit me behind the head! While Axel got up and said the same thing.

"Yeah, what the girl said.... Just what the hell was that all about man?" He wheezed a bit, his voice wasn't all rough, deep and heavy like mine. His was a little lighter than mine. He was oblivious to Luna's presence and everyone else as he was just looking at me.

"First of all: that kick was for all the countless time you woke me up like that." He knew what I was talking about as everypony else was standing right behind him, were wondering what he did to make me hurt him. "And second..." I pointed out towards the ponies. "Look behind you."

"Why?" He asked and as if on cue.

"Because Axel, we're standing right behind you." Twilight answers for him and to get his attention and when he looks back, well you know how that plays out.

"Yeah, that's why." Well, at least he didn't scream like a little girl.



After some explaining, introduction and all that. Axel calmed down and decided to show his dog-tag to them. Here's what it says

Name: Axel Tyiro.
Rank: 1st Lieutenant.
Squad: Alpha.
Class: Demolition Expert.

"OK, now that introductions are out of the way..." Twilight said as she looked at me. "Fenix, you did asked us on what a cutie mark is, right?" I nodded and she continued, "Well, a cutie mark displays a pony's special talent, or something he or she enjoys doing. But they have to find it on their own and when they do, it appears on their flank."

She then looked at her cutie mark and explained hers and her friends. Twilight's one was all about mastering magic, Rarity's one was finding gemstones, Applejack's one is harvesting apples, Fluttershy one is caring for animal and Pinkie Pies one is throwing a party.

After that we heard this loud 'bang', "What was that? Sounded like a jet-fighter going supersonic!" Axel asks.

"Oh, I think that was Rainbow Dash." Pinkie Pie answered.

"And who is this 'Rainbow Dash'? I don't think you girls told us about her."

"Oops, sorry that slipped our minds." Twilight Blushed, "Rainbow Dash is a cyan blue Pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail. We sent her back to Ponyville with the Wonderbolts and a group of guards so they can evacuate the town... when all... four of you were... um." She shifted her gaze side-to-side, trying to find the right words, but to me it didn't really matter...

"When we were all falling from the sky. Yeah we get it." I finished off her sentence as the others were gazing towards the night sky. Probably trying to find Rainbow Dash, but it didn't take long to spot that Pegasus... for she was heading right towards us... Fast. I asked, "Isn't she gonna slow down any time soon?"

"What in tarnation is that girl doing!?" Applejack exclaimed, she too wondering why ain't slowing down.

Twilight spoke, "She isn't slowing down... She charging at---" She paused for a couple of seconds then turned towards me and Axel, "She is charging at you two!"

WHAT!!? She going to ram us both!? "But why!? What did we do!?" Axel said as we both got ready to dodge.

"I-I don't know?" Twilight and everyone else were just as surprise and confused as we are, but before any of them could do anything...

"WATCH OUT, THEY'RE RIGHT BEHIND YOU ALL!!!" Wait she thinks we're a threat!? But why would she---

"Fenix MOVE!!!" Axel shouted me out of my thinking and I dashed over to the side, just in time too... Damn she's fast. She missed and flied back up before coming back for another dive at us.

"HEY, HOLD STILL!!!" She shouted as she missed again.

This kept going for few minutes before the princesses came in front us and stopped Rainbow Dash, "Rainbow Dash, you are to stop your assault on these two young men immediately! They mean us no harm!" Celestia spoke up.

"Huh? What do you mean they mean us no harm?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Princess Celestia looked behind her at us than turn back, "They are humans Rainbow Dash, and you were about to knock their heads off."

"They're what?"

"Humans Rainbow Dash, humans!" Twilight said in annoyance, "Grrr... Weren't you listening to me when I was reading it to you!?" There IS a book about us then. But I wonder who wrote it though? That would be interesting.

"Oh yeah, that... Uh... I stop listening after the part about the knights and all that and sort of fell asleep most of it." Twilight groan at that and facepalmmed herself, or is it facehoofed in their terms? Ah I don't know... Maybe?

"So... If you guys are human. Where are all your armor and that other stuff? I mean all I see is the weapons, but no armor to protect you two from danger." Well this should be interesting...

"Well Axel, looks like we got a lot of explaining to do, huh?"

"Yeah Fenix, a LOT of explaining." Axel said and shook his head, "Knowing you, you won't even say a word and I have to do all the talking."

"Do we EVER explain anything to anyone?"

"Point taken." As we were talking among ourselves, Rainbow Dash was getting annoyed.

"Hey! Aren't you two gonna tell me anything or not!?" She shouted.

"HEY!!!" I shot back at her and gave her the death glare, "WILL YOU JUST SHUT THE HELL UP, WE WERE GETTING TO THAT!!!" She never said a word; hell I don't think anyone said a thing. The whole place was deadly silences, not even the princesses were saying anything at all. I calmed myself down and talked normal to them. "You can all breathe now."

And so they did, especially that rainbow brash Pegasus, I bet she thought that I was gonna kill her.

"Man, and I thought you were gonna kill me back there." And I fucking called that one!

I turn to Axel and he nodded his head, "Yeah, I know. I'll do all the talking and explaining." We turn towards the rest as we signal Celestia and the other two to join the others, "Alright, now pay attention, because I'm only gonna say this once." He then turn to face Rainbow Dash, "That means you too Rainbow Dash! If I ever find out you slept through the whole goddamn thing, I will have Fenix kick your arse into next week! Are we clear on that!?"

She went wide eye at that, fear struck her like lightening; she really didn't like the idea of having me booting her ass into next week. Pfft might kick her into next year or so....... Oh yeah, if you're wondering where we're from, it's New Zealand. Don't like it, tough luck.

Eventually she replied, "Y-y-yeah sure, I-I w-w-won't fall a-asleep.”... Damn it and I wanted to do that.

"OK now..."



---After some LONG time of explaining the whole fucking shit to them and how things have changed... Blah, blah, blah...---



"Wow... Just wow. I don't know what to think." Rainbow Dash, the princesses, their guards, the girls, everypony around us all stood there with wide eyes. Completely speechless at how much humanity has advance throughout the ages of its time...

And if you're thinking we told them EVERYTHING that has happen, then you're a fucking idiot. No, we didn't tell them about the wars and shit, though they wanted to know a little more about the weapons, but we said no.

"Aww... Why not?" Twilight started whining, oh how I hate it when they start whining.

"Because we said so, now putting that aside. Rainbow Dash?" I called out her, ignoring Twilight's complaining.

"Yeah, what's up?" She asks.

"Rainbow, did you get a look at the other two humans before coming back here?" 

"Oh yeah, I did."

"Alright, we want you to tell us everything you saw."

"OK, let's see..." She was in deep thought, trying to remember the two humans down at Ponyville. "Right, one was a male, kinda like your size, skin is a light tan, gray shirt, blue pants, boots, his hair was short, the sides are cut, the top was spiky and the back I think too, plus he got this thin, but long hair growing in one straight line too. Oh and it's blonde. As for the other, I think it was a female, her body is slim, skin is brown, wears a white shirt and blue pants, shoes, and long dark brown hair."

Me and Axel look to each other with the same expression on our faces, "This can't be possible..."

"Can it really be them?"

"Hey, what in the hay are you two talking about!?" Applejack said.

"Let's just say we might know those two, but it'll have to wait, until then let's just get some sleep." One of them yawned and all nodded their heads.

"I agree, I'll be raising the sun up in a few hours." Well I guess that settles it--- Wait what?

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Back up... Are you saying that YOU can actually raise the sun at will?" Axel asked. I agreed with him, it just doesn't seem possible.

"Of course she can, she's the princess of the sun! And Luna is the princess of the moon!" Twilight said, "Don't you humans have someone raising and lowering your sun and moon." 

"No, our planet orbits around the two. No one moves them." They stared at us after that for... who knows how long.

Soon the silence broke, "So... If no one controls the sun and moon, who controls the weather?" Fluttershy spoke up, for the first time since we got here, and what did she mean by that.

"Uh... No one, we just monitor it, not control it." Axel answered.

"You guys mean that... The clouds move by themselves." 

"OK, what's up with you ponies?" They looked at each other then back at us.

Rainbow Dash spoke, "Well it's just that here in Equestria, that we Pegasi can move the clouds. We're the ones that patrol the weather; here I'll even prove it to you." She shot up to the night sky and grabbed... One of the... Cloud and came back with it..... How the fucking hell? "See? What did I tell ya." She said with a smirk, while lying on it like it was her bed.

"Uh, yeah... Just how the---" Before I could finish, Celestia cut in.

"How about we save the questions for tomorrow morning. But first," She turn towards her little sister, "Luna, if you will?" Luna nodded at her older sister request... Whatever that is.

We soon found that her horn was glowing, but why? Celestia caught our attention, "You two may want to look up."

"Why?" Axel asks, as I did what she said and found out why and got Axel.

"Uh... Axel."

"What?"

"You may want to look up." And so he did and stared in awe.

"Is she..."

"Yes Axel, she is." We just couldn't believe it. Luna is actually moving the moon, right before our very own eyes. Guess Twilight's right: Alicorns are the most powerful beings on this planet of theirs.

After that she stopped, "Now that that's out of the way, why don't we all get some sleep." A couple of us yawned and nodded in agreement. The rest waited as me and Axel grabbed our gear and follow behind, while the guards flanked us all on both sides.

As we reach the top and out of the craters, there was someone waiting, and it just so happen to be a little purple dragon, with green fins, eyes and underbelly. And I shit you not about him; at least, I think it's a him.

"Twilight, oh there you guys are." Yep, it's a male. He ran up to Twilight while saying, "Man I was worried sick about you. What happen anyway, I sorta got knock out by that whole light sho---" He stopped and looked behind the group towards me and my brother, "Uh... Twilight, who are those two over there? I don't remember seeing them around here."

Twilight giggled and 'Spike' was left in confusion, "Spike, do you remember that book about a certain bipedal race that's suppose to be a myth?" 

He nodded, "Yeah, I remember, the humans."

"Well that's just what they are Spike." His eyes darted at us first, then Twilight and back.

"Um... Are you sure they're humans?"

Twilight was a little annoyed with his question, "Yes Spike, they are."

"But, where's their armor and all that other stuff?" He asked, "I mean, that guy on the right has a really big sword, but what about him?" He pointed out to Axel. As if on cue, he pulled out his twin scythes and shows them to him. "Oh... Heh heh, n-nice touch." He said nervously. Axel said nothing and retreated them back to his hips.

"Look Spike," Twilight spoke, "It's pretty late, why don't we get some sleep, we'll explain everything tomorrow." 

He yawned, "Yeah Twilight, sleep sounds good." With that, she picked him up with her magic and placed him on her back and we all headed to the castle, which is a marble white structure, the thing was huge as hell!

We approached the main doors to the castle and enter, the inside was big as well, kinda reminds me the old castles back home in Europe, but this one is more... beautiful, in a way of speaking. I'm not all that big on castles and shit, so just bear with me, but that doesn't mean I hate it. The only thing I like about castles is its history: how it began and how it ended, that's all. This one however, won't be ending any time soon, and that's just how I want it as long as the royal bloodline continues... That and I hope there aren't any jackasses around this place, because we all know what will happen: the Government's fucked up and the chain of command. Hell, society would be pretty fucked up too.

Anyway, the girls were led to their guest rooms by the guards, while the princesses personally led us to our rooms. It was some walk and Axel asked me a question, "Bro, do you think this is all a dream?" In whisper.

"No, if it were, you wouldn't have felt my kick." I answer.

"Oh yeah, but do you think that they, too, might be here?"

"It’s just a possibility, Axel. But let's just hope it is them." 

As we continued down the hall, we stop at the first room and Celestia turn to look back at us, "Fenix, this room is yours for the time being. Axel, you will follow Luna, she will show you yours."

"Yes ma'am." He said with a mocking salute and then turn to follow her little sister, but before he left, "Hey Fenix." I looked at him, "Take the mask off, would ya?" And so I did. There wasn't any reason for me to wear the mask, I still don't know how it came into my possession, "There, better."

"So this is what you look like." Celestia spoke.

"Wow, you two really DO look like twins!" Luna exclaimed.

"Yeah, we're just that epic." We all share a laugh at that. 

"Alright you two, you better get going now." Celestia said and they continued down the hall until they were out of sight, "Fenix, I would like to talk to you, if that's alright?" I nodded as we enter the room, nothing special about it, just a normal bedroom with a queen-size bed in it... Well if you count the bathroom, of course.

I closed the door behind us and locked it so this conversation would be kept private, I asked,"What is it you want to talk about?"

She sat down on a chair and said, "Fenix, I want you to be honest with me when I ask you a question, Okay?" Honest? What is it she wants me to be honest about? I thought for a moment on what she meant by that, until the answer came to me, "It's about regarding the weapons that you and Axel have."

So that's why, "OK, but promise me you won't share this information with anyone, except your sister. Understood?" She nodded, "OK, so you're probably wondering what these ones can do."

"Yes."

"Well, to tell you the truth... They're not suppose to be real."

"Wha... What do you mean they're not suppose to be real!?" Well this should be interesting.

"To put simply, all of them are just off a couple of video games."

"Video... Games?"

"Long story, anyway, the point is whoever, or whatever brought us here also gave us these. Just pray that we don't have to use them."

"I sure hope so; I wouldn't want to see you using any of them." She said as she was looking over to the far side of the room, towards where I put my gear, "But I can't help but feel something bad is about to happen."

"Aye, but I hope that were both wrong." She nodded at that. "Anyway, how about we talk later tomorrow."

"Alright then, I'll make sure someone come around and get you two." I nodded as she got and headed towards door and unlocked door and went out, but before she did, she popped her head back in and said, "Goodnight Fenix."

I nodded and replied, "Goodnight, Princess of the Sun." She smiled and was about to leave when all of a sudden my pant, or something in my pant’s pockets, was vibrating, then it started to play music.... Wait a minute....

"Fenix, what is that sound?" Celestia asked as she came back in.

"My S3 Galaxy, but I don't remember having it on me," She looked at me of what that meant, "It's a cellphone that humans use to contact others from a distance, but that only works if there’s a connection and knowing you ponies, you don't have that kind of technology."

"True, but how is it still working?"

"I seriously don't know." I reached into my right pocket and pulled it out, enter the pin code to unlock it and found out that it was,"...Axel?"

"Could it be?"

"One way to find out." I answer it on video call so I can see if it's really him or not.

"Hey it actually worked! What's up man!?" Holy shit, it really actually works!

"Holy Jesus! How is this even all...? Possible!?" I asked and he just gave a shrug.

"Beats me, but hey it works! Anyway, I called to tell you to watch out for Luna."

"Luna? Why is that Axel, is something wrong?"

"Princess? No, no everything's fine. It's just that---"

"Axel, what did you do? You didn't say anything offensives to her, did you!?" I asked, he would sometimes say something offensive, even though he didn't really mean it, or even meant to say it like that, or WORSE, he was being 'sarcastic'. I swear, if he ever made her cry, he's going to be the one who gets his ass kick into next week.... Y'know what, FUCK next week, I rather kick his ass into another alternative-fucking-universe! Yeah, that'll work nicely.

Axel sighed, "No, no. It's more of 'She isn't taking me seriously'." Me and Celestia raised a brow, he continued, "OK look, Celestia, Luna is the Princess of the Night, right?" She nodded, "Fenix, you know that us both like the night, more than the day, no offense Celestia."

"None taken." She said with a smile.

"OK, that's true; we both do like the night. But I don't---" That's when it hit me, "Are you saying that she..."

"Yeah, she didn't believe me when I said love the night. Hell I even told her about you too." 

I looked to Celestia and asked. "Is Luna a little, or really sensitive about that subject?" She thought about it for a moment, this is probably the first time ever hearing something like this happening.

"No, she isn't. I don't know what has gotten in to her, this is the first time I have ever heard of her doing that."

"Well that's just the beginning of it." We looked back at Axel as to what he meant by that. "I was a little hurt by her not accepting my phrase about me and you, so I told her what I wanted to do on a night."

"Let me guess: You wanna take the girl of your life, out for a walk at night, with a picnic basket with ya, go to the top of a hill, set up things, you and her lie down next to each other, looking up towards the night sky with a full moon. Then at that moment, you look into each other’s eyes and slowly but surely your lips lock in a passionate kiss." Yep... That's one of the many things he wants to do and I gotta say: That's a pretty damn good one too. What's next, he wants to get married at night as well...... Most likely, yeah.

"Yeah, that and a lot of other things too." He said, "But anyway, I told her that and she turn around to face me for a few seconds and lunged herself at me and kissed me, right on the lips." OK... That I wasn't expecting, neither did Celestia. I mean, how could you even respond to that, knowing that someone from royalty kissed a soldier from another planet. "Yeah, I know, speechless."

"O-OK... Um, after she 'kissed' you, where did she go?" Celestia ask.

"Like I said before, watch out for her. She's probably heading over to you." After saying that, there was a bright flash of light that appeared in front us and out pops Luna, "Told ya."

Luna looked at me in the eyes for the longest moment... And it was getting awkward by the second. I was going to say something to break the silence when Luna lunged herself at me into a hug and tried to kiss me... Tried, but no, I wouldn't allow it and placed my over her muzzle just in time.

"Luna, no... You can't kiss me." She looked at me when I removed my hand.

"Can't... B-b-b-but why!? I don't understand, why can't I kiss you!?" She asked. Her voice filled with rage and anger when she pulled away from me, "Was everything that Axel told me about you loving the night a lie!?"

"No. What he says is true."

"Then why!?"

"Because you just kissed Axel." She froze when I said that, "I don't mind you kissing him, but you can't kiss me the same way you did to him." She understood where I was going with this, "Hugs I can accept Luna. But I cannot accept a kiss from you."

"Oh, I see now." She said, "But... c-could you accept a kiss on the cheek?"

I shrugged, "Sure." She smiled and pecks me on the cheek. "Better?"

She nodded, "Yes, thank you." She then left the room with a smile on her face.

Celestia looked at me and I looked at her, "You think..." She said.

"I know." I answer and looked at my phone, "Isn't that right, Axel."

"Hmm... Most likely." Just as we thought, "But hey, you can trust me with her."

Celestia answer him, "OK, I trust you." What?

"Really?" We both said in unison, finding it hard to believe.

She smiled, "Yes, I'm sure of it."

Axel replied, "Thanks princess, I promise I won't do anything stupid." He said, “But before I forget, I got one question: If something was to stab you, will you still live, or will you die from that?” OK where is he going with this?

“No. Even though our race can live forever, we can still die.” What...? So her kind only has eternal youth and can still get killed!? Man that has gotta suck, it only makes them a Demigod, “But it’s better than not dying at all. If you ask me, one of them will take advantage of it and Equestria will look a lot more different and not in a good way.” She said to us and we agreed with her on that, if they ever were truly immortal, things wouldn't be looking the same as they are right now.

Axel nodded, “True. Well I think it’s time for us to go to sleep, goodnight, I’ll see you all in the morning and thanks again.” He waved and hanged up to go to bed.  

I looked up at Celestia, "Are you sure about this? He can be a bit of a handful." I ask and she smiled at me.

"I'm sure of it." I nodded in agreement with her decision, "Well then Fenix, I'll leave you to rest for tomorrow, Goodnight Fenix." I nodded to her as she left.

I took off my boots, singlet and gloves and hopped into bed, it felt very comfortable as I drifted off to sleep. Until the morning sun comes around. 




Oh wait, they'll be waking us up before then. Sorry my bad, well goodnight.                                                                                                                            
> Chapter 2.1: Welcome to Equestria! (Part 1)
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Sir... It’s time to wake up.” A voice said to me as I open my eyes to see one of Celestia’s mare maids trying to get me up.

“Mister Fenix sir, Princess Celestia summoned me to come get you.” So, she wants us now huh.... I got up and got out of bed, and went to put on my singlet and boots. But before I could do any of that, the maid gasp at what she saw of me.

“Oh my... Are those your cutie marks?” She asks and pointed a hoof at them. I shook my head, knowing of what they mean by ‘Cutie Mark’. “So what are they anyway, if they’re not cutie mark?”

“Tattoos ma’am, we humans don’t get cutie marks.” I said to the Unicorn, “Though, I wouldn’t mind getting a cutie mark. Getting a tattoo is like... Well, let’s just leave it at that.”

“Oh I see now, well... Uh... I should...” She was starting to stammer in her own words and... I think I saw her blush a little bit, Hmm...

“Ma’am, is everything alright?” I asked, wondering what was going through the Unicorn’s head.

“Oh... Um... Nothing, nothing it’s just... H-how about we go and get your brother, huh?” That question made me chuckle a little bit and that left her standing there confuse as hell. “What?”

“He’s not my brother; we just get mistaken for that because we almost look alike.” After that the maids blush started to grow a little redder and she tried to hide her face... Perhaps she’s embarrassed by mistaking me and Axel as brothers. “Hey, we don’t mind being mistaken as brothers.”

She turned to look at me, “R-really? Why?”

“Because, in a way, we’re sort of like brothers. Even back at home we were mistaken as twins.”

“Oh OK, well I should leave you to get dressed then.” She then turn and headed for the door.

“Wait.” She stopped about three feet from me, “You don’t need to wait outside for me to get change, it’s not like I’m COMPLETELY naked when I go to sleep.”

“Oh, a-are you sure about that?” She asked nervously, not entirely sure about the idea.

“I’m sure. It’s not like you’re hitting on me or something.” With that I got out with just my black jeans and black socks on. I went to put on my black singlet that has ‘No Fear’ written on it, then my black army-like boots. My necklaces were still on me when I went to sleep, probably not the best idea but who cares. Went to grab my leather fingerless gloves and my sword and we headed over to Axel’s room. There’s no reason for me to bring all the guns with me, so I decided to only bring the two Gorgon pistols with me.

We reached Axel’s room, which wasn’t all that far and open the door, only to find him pointing his duel scythes at me.

“Paranoid, are we today?”

“Nope... Just being a dick to ya.” He said to me with a sly grin. This has got to be the most lame-ass prank he has EVER pulled off on me. I just stood there staring at him with my not-so-amuse/piss off mood.

“That wasn’t close to MAKING me smile, and it’s sure as hell didn’t even come closer to MAKING me laugh. Now do us a favour: cut that bullshit out and get your fuckin’ shit together! We gotta be down there BEFORE the princess rises the sun, Goddamn it!!” I shouted out at him for his stupidity, but unfortunately, this in-turn scared the little pony that was escorting me as I heard her whimpering.

I look down at her, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to shout.” Oh, who the hell am I kidding, she’s probably not gonna talk to me anymore. I looked away from her; I could never dare look at the Unicorn again. Whenever I yell, growl, or shout, I always manage to make someone scared of me... I have got to stop doing that. Before I could do anything, I felt something wrapping around my leg and Axel pointed down at the source and I looked, only to find the maid hugging... my leg.

“It’s OK; I forgive you,” She said, “You only did that because he was.... Acting stupid.” As awkward as it is right now, that last part promoted a little chuckle from me.

“Hey...!” Axel complained.

“That... And he’s wasting time.” I added. He grumbled and went back to get his two Boltok pistols and came out.

“There, happy!?” He said in annoyance.

“No.” I replied with a sly toothy grin.

“BITCH!” He yelled at me and I just laughed at him.

“Ahem...” We turn to look down at the mare, “If you two are done, we best be on our way now. The Princess will be raising the sun soon.” We nodded at her and she led us down the halls and outside at the east courtyard, where the sun always rise.

When we were outside, we saw many colorful ponies and they were all Unicorns, I wonder why that is...? Ah fuck it, I’ll ask later. Anyway, we made our way through the crowd to get up front and see Celestia, but while we were making our way there, a lot of ponies seem to make room for us, or they’re most probably afraid of us and just wanna get out of the way. They were even staring up at us in amazement, shock and awe, intimidation and fear even, we heard some whispering to one another, no doubt it’s about us two, some were giving us stern looks and glares. But nonetheless we ignored them and continued on until we made it to the front of them and saw the Princess of the Sun, but she wasn’t the only one that was there. The six mares and their dragon friend that we met last night were there as well.

Celestia saw us and smiled, “Ah Fenix, Axel. Good to see you two. How did you sleep?” She asked.

“Great actually, it really helped out with my back.” Axel answers her. He always has back problems whenever he slept in bed.

“What wrong with your back, has it always been like this for you Axel!?” A voice spoke out, but it wasn’t from any of the girls, not until I realized that it belonged to Luna when she popped out right in front of us all with that teleportation spell of hers. “Here, allow me to ease your painful nights.”

“Really, you can do that?”

“Yes, now, be still Axel.” Axel did as she told him to and Luna got to work. Her horn started to glow as she was preparing the spell; her eyes were closed when she was doing it and this didn’t take long as she casted the spell on Axel.

She opened her eyes and looked at him, “So... How do you feel?” She asked.

“I... I really wouldn’t know until I go to sleep. But if I had to guess, I say I’ll feel better when I get up.” He said to her with a smile. If you ask me, I’d say that his back pain is no more and that he’ll sleep just fine from now on.

“I know you will, Axel.” Luna said. She was happy to help out however she can, I too was grateful as well, seeing Axels back problems laid to rest forever. Well... We are like ‘brothers’ after all, we knew each other since our first years at High-school up ‘til now...

And if you’re wondering, interested, curious even I’ll tell you. If not then piss off and skip this paragraph and continue on. Anyway: I was 13 years-old when I started High-school. That’s when I met Axel, he too, was also 13, and the only difference is that I was still older than him by just over a month. Now the funny thing was: is that we never knew, or even seen each other, but we were talking like old friends for who knows how long...... Weird right??

Anyway, Axel gave his thanks to the Princess of the Night and next to the girls to see the sun rise in a couple of minutes. As we waited, Rarity asked me a question, “Fenix, how do you two keep your hairs like that? It must have taken you two HOURS to get it to stay up like that?”

I was about to answer her, but Axel budded in, “Which one: The Mohawk? The Mullet? Or both of them?” After that saying, she stared at us before responding with...

“What?” Yep, he made her lost as hell.

“Don’t answer that, but what Axel means is that our hairstyle is made up with both a Mohawk along the top and a Mullet going down the back of our heads.” I told her, “So yeah, it did at first, but over time we got it staying up like this.” I finished answering her. It did take hours to get it this way. We first started off with the Mohawk, trying to make it look spiky as possible, and then we gave it three hair liners coming out in front and then coming down. We then added the Mullet to it at the back and made it long and spiky as well, it looks like something you would see out of an Anime series... Man it’s a pain in the ass doing it.

Rainbow Dash flown over and asks, “So... It’s a Mohawk/Mullet then?”

“Close but yes, it something like that.” Axel answers her.

“Um... Can I touch your hair, please?” Rarity asked me. That’s an age old question we get back home whenever people came across us. I nodded and bent down for her to touch my hair.

“Oh my stars, it feels so natural and smooth.”

“Smooth? Are you sure it is, because my hair has always felt thick, then smooth.” I don’t know where she got that impression from, my hair was always thick from the beginning.

“Oh yes darling, not to mention it’s simply divine and original.” Rarity commented. I felt kinda flattered by that, though it’s not original because I saw some people that had it way before me and Axel. The only difference is that we have a longer and spikier one.

“In fact,” She continued, “I bet all the ladies are drawn to you two.” I winced at that, Axel on the other hand, doesn’t mind having to be the centre of attention for the ladies.

“Ugh... God don’t remind me, the ladies are ALWAYS drawn to us, and it’s so annoying!” I growled and she and the other girls backed away from me a bit.

“Why is that!?” Pinkie Pie asked, “Were there mean ladies or something!?”

Axel spoke, “No, that’s not what he meant. What he means is that they were only interested in his looks and not him.” He said, “Plus they were too grabby.” He isn’t kidding about that part; they mostly just touch it without asking... Bitches.

“Ouch, that must have hurt.” Pinkie said. Mistaking that they just pull on my hair... Well there were some that tried that, but failed.

“Oh you have no idea, but let’s just leave it at that and never speak of it EVER again.” I said as I looked over where Celestia is, “The Princess is gonna raise the sun.”

“Need some shades?” Axel said as he offers one for me and the hell if I know where he got them because I don’t care. I nodded as I got up and grabbed them; they look like the pair you see the sheriff wears around, either way, I still look good in them.

I put them on and look back at Axel and said, “Thanks man.”

“No prob.” He said as he put on his surfers shades on. “Here we go.”

We all looked upon Celestia as she spread her wings out with her eyes closed and her head held up. Her horn started to glow as she started to flap her wings and hovered up into the air, the sun was rising as she continued to go up and when she stop she began to shine as bright as the sun shone. Man Twilight wasn’t kidding about Alicorns, being the most powerful race, they’re almost like gods. Almost, it’s just their eternal youth they’re born with, either way; they live forever until they die however they die. Life is still cruel in more than one way.

After the whole morning light show, the ponies cheered and clapped for their Princess as she came down and landed in front of us. She told the maid to go get breakfast ready and turn to face us and asked, “So you two, what did you think?”

“I’m NEVER EVER gonna get tired of that!” Axel answered first with a grin on his face.

She chuckled, “Well, I see someone is in high spirit today.” She then turned to face me, “And what do you think Fenix?” I removed my shades and nodded at her and she seemed a bit disappointed with that, “Don’t you ever talk Fenix?”

“Oh trust me, that’s all you’ll ever get out of him.” Axel spoke and then turn to me, “But seriously man, just say something to her,” Well he does have a point. “Because you REALLY need to socialise with people more.” And that too.

I sighed and gave her my answer, “It was... Interesting, something you don’t get to see every day. Are you sure you Alicorns aren’t entirely like gods?” She roll her eyes with a smile at that question, even I admit it was a dumbass one too.

“Oh Fenix, you know we Alicorns are nothing like that.” She answer.

“I know, I was just checking, that’s all.” I said, “Anyway, we should go get some grub.”

“Yeah I’m starving here!” Axel said.

“What!?” Rarity yelled out loud, “Why would anypony want to go and eat grubs!? That’s just disgusting!” She didn’t really understand the term I meant by that, thinking that we would be eating real grubs.

“Uh... Rarity, we didn’t mean it like that. It was just a figure of speech, a term we use for food in our military.” Axel explain to her. Though if you ask me; they’ll never understand anything that humans do or say.

“Um... Maybe they should change---” Rarity started but I cut her off. Why? Because I’m already sick of taking her bullshit.

“Rarity, the reason why we military personnel say that is because our rations taste like shit! It’s not your every day meal you get, plus it has nutrient we need to keep going for a long period of time.” And that’s how I say it to people, if they think it’s stupid and all. Just tell it to them straight up.

“Hey, you don’t have to say it to her like that!” I looked down at Spike who spoke up to me, “Didn’t your parents teach you any manners!?”

“Yes, they did. But the military teaches you another, boy.” I shot back at him with a low growl while glaring down at him. “They don’t teach you how to be soft and that kind hearted bullshit, not like our parents taught us, because that’s not what they’re looking for. They look for those who can handle their training; because they’ll be teaching you how to become steel itself.” As of now, he’s scared shitless of me.

“W-w-what do you m-mean b-b-by that?” He asked me in a fearful voice. “H-how to b-be s-s-steel?”

“When you’re older, we’ll tell you.” I told him in a calm voice... Well as calm as it can get right now. The girls themselves were scared too, the only one that tried not to look so easily intimidated was Rainbow Dash. And just like that, I started to hate her, because she was trying way too hard on her end, plus she was giving me a death glare of hers. Not impressive by the way, it basically made me roll my eyes, inwardly, and it told me it wanted me to kill her in the cruellest way unimaginable. I would so gladly oblige to that invitation of carnage in a heartbeat.

Celestia spoke up to break the tension, “OK, how about we go back inside and get some breakfast.” She then came over to me and pull me with her by using her left wing, “Come along my little ponies.” With that said, we all went back inside the castle. The Princess of the Sun still had her wing gently wrapped around me, but it made me feel... Uncomfortable, I can still see my surroundings and I know she’s trying to keep me at a distance from her subjects, whom I don’t mind and it’s for the best. But it did felt...awkward.



∞



We were still walking down the hallways, towards the Dining room and she still had me wrap in her wing, which still made me feel uncomfortable and even more by the second. I tried to push it to a certain distance, but Celestia kept bringing it back around every time I do that to her wing, I sighed and gave up.

“Fenix, aren’t you used to this?” Celestia asked me and I looked at her.

“If you mean having physical contact from another being: No. I’m not.” I answer her, hoping she would loosen up a bit, but she the opposite of that.

She wrapped her wing around me and pulled me in a little closer to her, which from this point, it just went from uncomfortable to disturbing. I wanted to push her away from me, for disrespecting my personal space and decision on this topic, but something at the back of my mind told me not to do that and just leave it be and go along with it. I was left to wonder why would my own mind suggest a change, but before I could think of it any further.

“Hey Axel, why is Fenix always so... you know...?” I heard Twilight ask Axel a question regarding me.

“Why is he always so aggressive, short tempered, stares you down, bad mouthing off to people?” Axel said to her, “Well sorry to say... I don’t have the answer for you and even if I did have the answer, it isn’t my place to tell you.”

“What!?” That was Rainbow Dash, “What do you mean ‘You don’t have the answer’!?” Still impatient as ever... Not to mention she’s an idiot. “You DO know the answer to it all!” Yep, just another dumbass.

“No Rainbow, I don’t know. So here’s an idea, since you want to know so badly, why don’t you go and ask him?” He shot back at her.

“Okay then, I will ask---”

“NO!!!” Me and the Princess stopped and turn around to see what was going on.

“What’s wrong with you guys!? Why are you so afraid of him!?” Rainbow asked her friends in annoyances... Has she really forgotten what happen last night, or a few minutes ago? My god what a fucking idiot!

Twilight spoke to her, “Rainbow Dash, are you out of your mind!? I mean look at him!” Rainbow looked towards me and then back at Twilight.

“So what about him Twi?” She asked, “All I see is just that big sword on his back.” Somebody just please shoot this stupid fucking rainbow bitch, before I torch her on the spot.

Twilight continued, “Exactly my point, Rainbow! If anyone of us asks him something that’s a little too personal, or sensitive, he could just grab it and swing it right at us! You know just how angry he can get, even Axel told us that he’s short tempered and aggressive, he takes things too seriously!” She tried to explain what would happen if you got on my bad side.

But Dash waved it off, “Pfft, please Twilight, he can’t even catch me, I’m the fastest flyer in Equestria for crying out loud! Plus I ain’t afraid of him, or anything!” Say what you want, it ain’t gonna get you anywhere with me. “Besides, he doesn’t have wings!”

Axel sighed out of irritation, “You can cut it out kid, and you can’t fool me or him!” He said to her, “Everyone and everything has their fears and that includes YOU!”

After hearing that, she snapped her head towards him, “What did you just say!? Are you calling me a liar!?” She was angered by his words. “You better watch what you say to me!”

“I can say the same to you too, Rainbow Dash!” She froze in her tracks when she heard me, “We’re much stronger and smarter than you’ll ever be. And as a matter-of-fact and this is a reminder: Ever since we got here, we are able to carry heavier objects that are impossible to a normal being to do. For example; The Chaoseater.” Everybody, including the Princesses, all looked at me with puzzled expressions.

The Rainbow idiot asked, “What’s a ‘Chaoseater’?” I went to grab the sword on my back when Celestia stopped me.

“Fenix, what are you doing?” She asked me with a worried look.

“Grabbing Chaoseater.” I answered.

“Wait, ya mean you gave that sword there a name?” Applejack asked.

I shook my head, “No... It was already named like that.”

“Okay, so the sword has a stupid name, what of it!?” Rainbow Dipshit asked. Agrh, I’m tired of this stupid bitch!

“I want you, Rainbow, to come and pick it up.” She gave a smug grin at that request.

“OK then, you’re on.” She flew over and landed in front of me, “I’ll prove to you that I’m just as strong as you are, buddy. I’m way too cool to lose to you.” And the more you speak like that, the more you only prove my point, that you are a complete dumbass.

“Whatever, just shut up and pick up the goddamn sword!” Celestia finally removes her wing off of me and I pulled of the Chaoseater off my back and hold it out for her, “Ready?”

“Just a second.” She hold out both of her forelegs and spat on each of them and then rubbed them both together. After that she told me, “I’m ready.” She hovered from the ground to get herself up to where I was holding it and gripped its handle, “Okay, you can let go now.”

“Big mistake.” I said to her and before she could reply to me, I let go of the handle and it went down to the floor along with her too and it made a loud thump and clang when it hit.

Everybody, except for Axel, flinched at what just happen. Though this should have been expected and Rainbow is trying to lift it, but to no avail, “Gah... Why is it so hard...? To lift... This stupid SWORD!!” She growled out loud, struggling and straining to pick up Chaoseater.

After a while she stopped and started panting for air, “How... How come you... Can pick... This up...?” She said between her breathing.

“I said it before, Rainbow. And I’m not saying it again for you.” I said to her and she groaned in response before collapsing on the floor. Applejack came over and tried to pick it up as well, but the outcome ended the same for her too: Nothing. Then that crazy pink pony, Pinkie, wanted a go at it, but that didn’t make a difference.

“Wow, this sword is REALLY heavy!” No shit Einstein, did you just fuckin’ figure that shit out just now? Ugh Jesus help us...

Anyway, the other three came trotting over towards the girls that’s huffing and puffing like hell. Axel walked over to me and Celestia with Luna on his back... Why does he have her on his back? And why didn’t we see that before?

Me and Celestia looked at each other and back at them two.

“What?” Axel asked.

“Why are you piggy backing Luna?” I answer his question with another question.

He looked back at the Princess of the Night and then back, “She wanted one.” I looked at him with a raised brow for a few second before shaking my head.

“Hey Fenix, can I ask you a question?” Twilight asked me and I nodded, “How did you know its name?”

“Long story that one. Maybe next time.” I answer her and went to grab the sword and place it back behind me. And if you’re wondering, which you are, how this is just sitting on my back without anything holding it? I seriously don’t fuckin’ know. “Anyway, we should just get our breakfast and leave as soon as we can, alright?”

“Um... Okay.” She replied and went to help Applejack, Fluttershy helped Rainbow and Rarity helped Pinkie up. Celestia brought her wing back around me as we started walking again and I still don’t get why she’s doing this to me, but let’s forget that, I ain’t complaining anymore.



∞



When we arrived in the Dining hall, which is a real big one mind you, we all took our seats. Luna wanted Axel and me to sit next to her and Celestia, not like we had much of a choice anyway since he’s carrying her and I’m all wrapped up in Celestia’s wing, so really do you even have to ask? Regardless we took our seats with the Princesses at the far end, where we were facing the doorway. Axel was sitting on Luna’s left and I was on the right side of Celestia, along with Twilight sitting on her left and who asked a question that really surprised us all.

“Fenix, what was that little rectangle black box you use to talk with Axel?”

“What the-- I didn’t tell you about my phone, nor did Axel. So how is it you know?” Twilight blushed at that question I asked.

“I... uh... I sort of snuck out... and eavesdropped on you guys.” She said, “When I found out where you were sleeping, I teleported just outside your door, which was slightly left open for me to look inside. But it was at the same time when Princess Luna teleported in the room and...” Twilight stopped and began to become even redder in the face.

“Twilight...? Darling are you alright?” Rarity asked her, every one of her friends all looked at her and waited for her to respond.

“Yeah, I’m fine... It’s just that... This part is a little bit...” It was at that point did me, Axel, Luna and Celestia clicked.

“Oh, that part?” Twilight nodded at Luna’s question.

“Yeah let’s just leave it at tha---” Before I could finish my sentence, Pinkie Pie interrupted me.

“Oh did something exciting happen when Princess Luna showed up in your room!?” She asked.

“Just drop it Pinkie.”

“Aww.... But I wanna---”

“Oh look, here comes breakfast!” Axel pointed out and Pinkie seems to had been distracted by that and forgets about the whole incident that happen last night. The servants brought in pancakes, scramble eggs, hash browns and some other stuff.

As we grabbed our breakfast, I looked back at Twilight, “So Twilight, still want to know about that thing you saw?” Her ears perked up at that and nodded. “What you saw last night is what us humans use for contacting one another, a cell phone is what we call it. You can use it to call, text, and email and so on and so forth.”

“Really, can you show me how it works?”

“Sure!” Axel answered her and showed his phone to her and started to do things with it.

Which I don’t know until mine started to vibrate and I picked it up and saw what he texted me, ‘Sup Bitch.’ I looked back at him, “Really? This shit again?”

“Yep.” He replied with a smile.

“Hmph, eggheads.” We all turned our heads towards Rainbow Dash.

“Rainbow Dash, why did you call them that?” Rarity asked her.

Rainbow Dash folded her forelegs and huffed. “Isn’t it obvious, they got all this highly advances technology and a lot of other things that they also ‘Invented’ during their time of change!”

“Rainbow Dash that is no excuse for calling them eggheads. Just because they change their way of living life, doesn’t mean you can just start pointing hooves and start calling them names.” Celestia told her and Rainbow looked at her dumbfounded.

“Yeah Dashie, that wasn’t nice of you to go judge them like that!” Pinkie spoke up and that was a surprise.

“Yes, truly a disappointment to hear something like this coming from you, Rainbow Dash.” Luna said, “Because I, for one, am very interested in their technology.”

Axel smirked and whispered, “What would happen if I say that it has helped us achieved space travel and that we been to our planet’s moon?” I quietly chuckle at that question, already thinking about Luna’s reaction.

“But anyway, I want to know about how you two know the other humans?” Luna asked us.

“Like we said: we might know them, but we’re not entirely sure. Not until we see them.” Axel answer Luna’s question, but she still wanted to know about the two we were talking about last night, “Luna, you’re just gonna have to wait until we get to Ponyville.”

She sighed, “Alright fine.”

“C’mon you two, eat your breakfast. The sooner we finish, the sooner we’re out of here.” After that statement, we all started digging into our breakfast.

A few minutes later, both Shining Armor and Princess Cadance, came in through the doors with shock faces on them... Along with everybody else- Excluding Pinkie Pie- because of me and Axel were hogging on the food, like a bunch of Vikings. Or in Rarity’s case: Barbaric brutes. As for Pinkie... She was following our lead.

“Uh... Don’t you two want to ease up over there?” Shining Armor said to us.

I responded first, “Hey, we were actually starving to death last night!”

“Yeah, you can’t blame us for being hungry and getting some real good food!” I agreed with Axel: this breakfast is the best damn one that’s yet to come.

He chuckled... Nervously, “Well.... You may want to stop....” OK something’s definitely up him.

“OK captain, seriously, what’s up? You don’t sound like yourself, why?” Axel asked him with a little hint of demanding. We both don’t like being kept in the dark when something’s wrong.

Shining sighed and said, “Well, if you really want to know that bad, it’s the princess’s nephew, he’s coming here.” Silence fell for a few seconds before Rarity spoke out loud and by that, I mean like a drama queen she is.

“No. No. NO! Why must it be HIM!? Of all ponies!” Yeah, she’s getting over dramatic.

“Are we missing something here?” Axel asked her.

“Oh darlings, you two don’t know the half of that ungrateful excuse of a noble stallion!”

“WHO Rarity, who the living HELL is he!? I mean, the only thing we know about the guy is that he’s blood related to the princesses!” I shouted out.

But before she, or anyone could answer, hoof-steps could be heard just outside, soon a white Unicorn stallion, with a blond mane and tail, blue eyes, a collar with a blue bow-tie, cutie mark is an 8-pointed star. Rarity had been glaring at him ever since he step-foot in here, angrily, I wonder what the hell this guy did to make her so piss off and hate him so much... Nothing good on his part, that’s for sure.

“Prince Blueblood, what brings you here?” Celestia asked this ‘Prince Blueblood’ person.

He replied, “Ah auntie, I was just coming by to say hello and have breakfast you and Aunt Luna.” He looked around the room, seeing the other girls and that’s where he spotted Rarity, “But I see that you have some guest with you and a certain pony.” The two of them were eyeing at each other for a moment before he continued, “Well, I guess... Auntie, what are those things sitting with you and Aunt Luna?”

Did he just call us ‘Things’?!

Celestia was a little disgusted about him calling us... Things and said, “These two are humans, who landed here last night during the last minute of the festival.” Celestia told him and then all of a sudden.

“What!? But auntie, I thought that humans were a myth!? And did you just say they were the ones that... Were those crystal meteors that landed?” Fuck this guy! He’s just another boyish drama-queen!

“Yes I did, but---”

“Then they should be thrown in the dungeons, held responsible for their crimes!” What the fffffuuuuuuuccccckkkk... This bluebastard just interrupted his auntie and accusing us as criminals for what: Crash landing in the city from some unknown force!? Seriously, what the FUCK!!

“Prince Blueblood, they cannot be held for something that isn’t their doing, or their choice!” Celestia shouted towards him, this is a first for me to hear her like this, “And need I remind you that I and Luna are still in charge here and that it’s rude to interrupt someone while they’re talking!”

“But auntie...” He tried to protest, but that failed.

“No, these two are our personal bodyguards and therefore are treated with respect!” 

What...? Us two as hers and Luna’s personal bodyguards? Now where the hell did that come from, not that I don’t mind though, but everyone was just as surprise as we are. Especially that Blueblood bitch. Asshole!

“A-a-auntie you can’t be serious about this!?”

“I have already made my mind last night and I will not change my decision!” Last night? But she never said anything about that last night... Unless...

Before I could think about it any further, Axel tapped my shoulder and whispered, “Just play along, I don’t know if she means it, or not.” I nodded to him and looked back at that Bluebitch. Reasons why: Is because he’s still bitching about the decision.

Eventually he gave up, “Oh fine, I will let this slide for now.” He said and looked towards us, “Now, if you two don’t mind, move out of the way! I would like to be with my aunties, thank you!” We didn’t say anything, nor did we even move from our seats. As a matter of fact: No matter what he says, or tells us what to do for him, it’s seriously not going to fuckin’ work. “Are you two deaf or something, I said---”

“NO.” That was the answer we both gave him and he was shocked to say the least.

“W-what... What did you just say!?” He asked us, thinking he misheard us and hoping for a better answer, his brain is probably working overtime and shut itself down now. Well, that certainly won’t do at all, time for a little wake up call, you little Blue-prick-whore.

And so I replied, “We said ‘No’, didn’t you hear us or are you the one that’s gone DEAF or something...” I said to him cold heartedly, “Boy.”

Rarity started to giggle at that, along with the other girls, despite my heartless impression, as Blueblood was taken back a step, “Why... How dare you---” And yet again, he was interrupted by Axel.

“And another thing: WE are your AUNTIES’S personal bodyguards. Not yours, theirs. Them yes, you no. Now do you have that memorized?” At this point, he was furious at us for... ‘Correcting’ him of who we take orders from.

“But I am a PRINCE! So that makes me ROYALTY!”

“Yeah, a royal pain in the arse is more like it.”Axel said in a laughing sense. This promoted a sort of evil laugh from me... Mostly.

“Plus, it’s just a title and nothing more.” I stated, as an aftermath to this whole bullshitty meet and greet and family reunion.

“Wh... Why you---”

“ENOUGH!!!!!” He was cut off by Luna, who was using the ancient ‘Royal Canterlot Voice’, “THOU SHALT NOT TALK TO THY BODYGUARDS OF SUCH DISRESPECT IN SUCH A MANNER, ARE WE UNDERSTOOD!!!!?” Damn she’s loud when she does that, but hey, I ain’t complaining! At least she got that Bluefucktard to shut the fuck up... And I know he isn’t color blue, it’s just some ‘NEW’ nicknames I thought I’d try out on spot.

Anyway, Blueblood was shaking on his part from his auntie’s outburst of anger, eventually he spoke, “Y-y-yes auntie, u-u-u-understand.” In a voice full of fear, which made me and Axel grin deviously at physically, but mentally we were laughing evilly at his cowardice. What a pathetic excuse of a prince, someone should kill him with fire.

Luna calmed down and smiled innocently at him like nothing ever happen at all. But then again, who said it was ALL that innocent, I didn’t.

“Good... Now why don’t you come and sit over here with me, we have SO much to talk about, you and I.” She pointed to the seat free next to her, but he didn’t seem to like that idea and made a break for the door. That was the last we saw of him.

“Well... That was interesting.” Axel said.

“Indeed.” This was the most interesting breakfast we both had.



∞



After breakfast, I and Axel were led back to our rooms to grab the rest of our stuff by a couple of the maids, and then they leaded us towards where everybody was waiting for us, in the throne room.

“OK, so how are we getting to Ponyville? A teleportation spell done by the princesses?” Axel asked the girls.

“I think so, but they haven’t told us.” Twilight replied, “They said that they’ll send word about us and you two to the mayor and just left.” Odd, they just said that and left to do so, without telling them how we were getting over there. Before I could think about it, the two sisters came back. Twilight went up to them, “Princess, we were just talking about you two. Are you going to teleport us to Ponyville?”

“No Twilight, we won’t be. We’ll be taking the train back to Ponyville.” What...? Celestia wants to take a train ride back there?

“What!? But why are we taking the train back!?” Twilight asked, looking up at her in disbelief.

“First: It is going to be a private ride there. And second: Luna wanted to go a train ride.” Really? Her little sister, Luna, wants to go on a train ride?

Axel asked, “Luna... Why would you want to go there by train? Wouldn’t it be faster if we just teleport there and forget about walking through the city, with you two, to the train station?” After that, Luna launch herself at him and it almost made him lose his balance.

“Fear not Axel, we already sent word out about you two and the group of guards we sent down there last night will be waiting for us down there. Plus its Sunday, hardly anypony would be travelling today.” Well then, this should turn our well. But the feeling of something going wrong as soon as we walk out of here was lingering around my head.

I had to ask, “Uh... Guys, I’m a little concern about walking out through the city streets, I mean...” They all looked at me to what was getting at.

“Why is that Fenix, is something the matter?” Luna asked.

Before I could answer her, Axel beat me to it, “I think I know.” They all turn towards him, “You see, back then, when we were teenagers, we never liked people. People we couldn’t really trust anyway. But like I said before, we never liked people and we still don’t. As of what he’s thinking right now, is the public-eye, if you know what I mean, yes?” Everybody seems to know what he was saying.

“Oh... My.” Fluttershy seems to know especially too, more than the rest, “You’re right, the city is full of paparazzi’s that will want to take pictures of the princesses and you two, as well.” God-fuckin’-dammit, it just had to be them motherfuckers! Ugh, this is gonna be a problem... “Oh and there’s probably going to be an angry mob out there, too. Even though it wasn’t really your fault.” And there’s a possibility of that, too... God... The hell did we even do to you, I’ll never know. If this is some kind of joke of yours... Then it needs some more working on to make me laugh.

Axel sighed at this, “Great, now what?”

“We’ll just teleport there, easy, isn’t it?” Twilight suggested, but still that wouldn’t work either.

Axel shook his head, “Not likely. They could be waiting over there, as well, if they know where we’re going. So...” He started to think, hell we all were, but our trains of thought were derailed by the Princess of the Night. Total and utter destruction.

“Awwwww!” Luna was beginning to whine. Ugh... If there’s one thing worse than people whining: its princesses. “I wanted to go for a train ride!” God help us all...

“Luna, we’re trying to figure out a way to get through this.” Celestia said to her as we all tried to come up with a solution, Teleporting over to Ponyville would have saved us the trouble of going through the city, but no, Luna wants to go on a train ride, jeez!

While we were thinking, Shining Armor and Cadance came in and Armor spoke up, “Princess Celestia, we’re all waiting for all of you to... Oh... Is now a bad time?” He asked, seeing as how we were all so caught up in thinking right now.

I replied to him, “No Cap’, it isn’t that. It’s about the civvies out there.” He seems to understand where I was going with this.

“Oh that, huh?” We nodded, “Well, we could just send more guards in, if that’s what you need?”

“I don’t think that’s such a good idea, if anything it could escalate if anymore---”

“Can we just go now!!? I’m already sick of waiting!!” Luna was beginning to lose her patience, “Look, I will deal with the public, if we ever should run into any difficulties from them.”

Axel looked behind him to see her, since she climbed on his back and asked, “Are you sure you want to do that: look bad in front of your own subjects?”

She answer him flatly, “Yes, if it gets us over to the train station quickly.”

“Whelp, might as well get going, before ‘Little Miss Lulu’ over here loses it.” We all laughed at that as we started to head out, not wanting to hear Luna complaining anymore.

Shining Armor led us towards the main entrance, the two massive doors were already open when we got there and it shown our squad of guards at the ready, “Alright men, rally up the princesses and their honoured guest!” As soon as he gave the order, they rally all around us and Shining was in front of us, leading us to the front gates and into the city streets of Canterlot. I pulled up my mask to hide half my face from the... Nobles... Grrrrrrr.



∞



Okay... So far we haven’t met with any problems and we’re only halfway there to reach the train station. I was walking close by the right side of Princess Celestia, while Axel was still carrying Princess Luna on his back and walking right beside me. The girls were behind us, along with Princess Cadance that’s having a conversation with them. Shining Armor and his eighteen guards, covering all sides, kept us separated from the city-folk. As for the city itself: big, but not huge-big like any of the human cities I’ve been, or seen. The city’s inhabitants... Nothing but a bunch of fucking snobs thinking that because they live a rich life, means they consider themselves ascensions, that can practically walk all over you and you do what they want. Anyway, they were surprise, to say the least, to see their princesses out-and-about in the city and so they bowed to them in tradition and respect. They were even staring at me and Axel and started to whisper some things to one another, most likely about us two as well. But that wasn’t it, no..... It was the way they were looking at us that’s pissing me off, because they were those judgemental ones and I don’t like being judge by other people. But on the bright side of it all, there were still those that shown fear because of the weapons, but even so...

Celestia saw my unease and anger growing in my eyes and draped her wing over me, “Don’t worry Fenix, you two and the others will be notify about being our bodyguards. And what you four would want to do is entirely up to you.” She whispered in my ear and I nodded at her.

Rarity came up between me and Axel, “So... How are you two doing, like anything you see in this city?” She asked us and we shook our heads saying ‘No’. She gasped, “What!? Why don’t you two like the city!?”

I answer, “We’re not city types of people, but we’ll spend a night or two in one, use it to meet-up with friends and do stuff. But that’s it... Is that all you ask?” I look down at her and saw her jaw hanging wide open at that statement. This is probably the first time hearing this sorta answer from anyone before.

Soon she got herself back and tried to reason with us, “B-b-but, what a-a-about shopping for stuff a-a-a-and---” Well not really....

“Rarity, stop!” Axel stopped her from finishing, “Look, everybody have their own different opinion about stuff, such as me and Fenix’s opinion whether we want to live in a city or not. So we chose we don’t want it, because it’s just not our style, cities are too loud, too cramped and there’s barley any natural environment in it.”

“But that doesn’t mean... Mmph!” I pushed Celestia’s wing away to stopped Rarity from saying anymore; it was starting to piss me off. No thanks to this city’s nobles and the area I’m in. And that in turn, made all of us stop.

“Rarity, I don’t wanna hear another goddamn word or question coming out of you, alright? Those are the only answers you’re gonna get from us both! So please, for love of god, no more questioning!” When I removed my hand away from her, she never spoke a word and retreated back to her friends as we started walking again.

Celestia brought her wing back around me again and pulled me closer to her and said, “That was uncalled for Fenix.” I looked at her, “I know that she may be somewhat excited about this place, but that’s no way to keep her quiet about it.”

I sighed, “Alright, I get it. But seriously, how the hell do you people put up with her anyway?” She laughed a little at that, soon we arrived at the station, but before we could board the train, there were two ponies waiting there and they don’t seem too happy about some---

“Hey Octy, there’s those jerks that wrecked our stuff and equipment!” What... The... FUCK! Is wrong with these ponies!? Anyway, the one that said it is a white Unicorn mare wearing a pair of purple shades on her. The mane was straight and spiky, same can be said with her tail and their colorations are a light and dark, striped pattern blue, with a double note as a cutie mark. The other was an earth-bound grey pony, also a mare, because of the pink bow-tie with a white collar she wore, light purple eyes, a long dark brown mane and tail, her cutie mark was also a musical note, but I forgot what you call this type. Ah fuck it, I’ll figure it out later, right now one of those two is piss with us. “C’mon let’s get them!”

The grey mare spoke in a British accent, “Vinyl, wait! What are you doing!?” But it was too late for her to stop her friend, but not for the guards, they quickly formed defensive ranks and stopped her dead in her tracks.

“Halt! You two aren’t suppose to be here, this is a private transport to---”

“Hey! Get the buck outta my way; I gotta beef with those jerks!” Whoa she just pushed her luck; they got their spears pointed right at her, ready to stab her eyes out.

“You dare speak to us like that in such a manner!! Do you know who you’re talking to!!?” She was about to open her mouth, but Luna jumped off of Axel’s back and went in between her and the guards.

“Enough! We don’t have time for this, now what is it you want with me and my sister’s personal Bodyguards?” She said to the white mare with her jaw hanging down for few seconds before speaking again.

“What!? They’re your bodyguards!? No way, those two wrecked our... Mmph!?” Her friend came in and placed her hoof on her mouth.

“Vinyl Scratch let me do all the talking.” She looked towards Luna without taking her hoof away, “Forgive her for her disrespect your highness. She’s just upset because of last night’s incident destroyed our equipment.”

“That is understandable, but she shouldn’t go judging those that had absolutely nothing to do with it, nor was it their intentions to do so.”

The white mare moved the hoof out of the way and snapped at that, bad move, “What!? Oh ho no, I ain’t letting them getting away with this! Even if it isn’t their FAULT!”

I and Axel looked at each other and he asked, “Who said we were getting away with anything?” I shrugged at that. He looks over to her and asks, “Hey! You, the one with the cool-looking Sunnis, what’s your name?” The mare calmed down a bit before answering.

“The names Vinyl Scratch.” She said, “Now. How about you come over here, so I can buck you into next week!” I looked over to Axel, who had his right hand under his chin.

“Hmm... Let me think... No.” He answer her and turned to her friend, “And you ma’am?”

“My name is Octavia. Please to meet you... And don’t mind her; she’s just like that sometimes.”

“Okay, next question: what music do you two play?” Where the hell is he going with this?

She soon answered him, “I play the Cello in the Royal Canterlot Orchestra. Vinyl here is known as DJ-PON3, so she does all that DJing stuff.” OK now I get where he was going with this.

“So, you ‘Octavia’ like playing the Classical stuff. And ‘Vinyl Scratch’ likes playing techno beats, correct?” Octavia nodded at his question.

Vinyl Scratch huffed, “Well, at least you ain’t a stupid hairless ape!” Jesus girl just please shut up.

Axel seemed to ignore her and continued on, “Well, would you two like to come back with us to Ponyville?” Woah where the fuck is he going with this now!?

The DJ responded, “Why should we go back with you!? For all we know is that you’re not even from around here and that you’re not a pony!” God help us, jeez does she ever stop bitching. She then turn to me, “And you! What makes you so special, huh!? You’ve been quiet throughout this whole thing! What’s the matter, you too stupid to even talk!?” OK... Why is she even bringing me into this?

Twilight came up and said, “I have never seen Vinyl Scratch this angry before.”

I looked down at her, “Really?”

“Yeah, really.” She nodded while Vinyl Scratch was still going on with the insults.

Well, I had enough of this crap, “Look, he just asked you a question, now answer it. Yes or No?” She stopped for the moment before replying, but was beaten by her friend.

“Yes, we would like that, thank you.”

“What!? But Octavia they---”

“Please Vinyl, no more arguing.” Vinyl was about to say something but closed her mouth. Octavia sighed in relief and said, “But we still want our things that you two destroyed.”

God those two don’t give up do they? Me and Celestia turn to look at each other, “What do you think we should do about it?” I asked her, “Because the two of us are COMPLETELY broke, so we won’t be able to pay for their replacements.”

She smiled at me, “Don’t worry about it, me and Luna can pay for the replacements. We know you two didn’t have anything to do with it.”

I nodded at her and turn back to the two mares, “OK, we’ll get you two some replacement.”

“Oh yeah, that’s right, you two owe us!” The DJ said and I glared her down.

“This is going to be coming out of the princess’s currencies, so if I were you, I keep my mouth shut! Unless you wanna punch to the goddamn fuckin’ face!” She didn’t see this one coming, nor did her friend. But what really made Vinyl shut up was me threatening her---

“HEY LOOK, THERE THEY ARE!!!” Ah crap, it’s the fuckin’ paparazzi!

The guardsmen quickly ran towards the entrance and blocked their way in. “I think it’s time to go.” Axel said.

“No shit Einstein!” With that said we all got in the train and sat down as it started to move, “How long is the ride anyway?” I asked the girls.

“It’s about three hours or so. And now that were all alone, how about some questions to help past the time.” Twilight said with delight and was looking very eager to learn more about our Urban Modern Society, before Vinyl Scratch asked a dumbass question.

“Yeah, like what are you two suppose to be anyway!?” See what I mean.

“Um... Vinyl I think they’re humans?” Ugh... This is gonna be a long ride.



∞



Axel did all the talking as usual, but I also had to pitch in at times. Most of the time I just stared out through the window, seeing the scenery, it was amazing, seeing the mountains, the woodland forest, the river streams, you could just stare at it all day. Though this does remind me of home... Kinda. This place though, has its very own specialty that could probably outrank ours.

“So Axel, what’s up with your brother? He hasn’t said much, except for when you ask him of something.” Vinyl asked Axel of me so I looked behind me to hear his answer.

“He’s just a guy with few words, what’s wrong with that?”

“Nothing, it’s just that Applejack has a big brother that’s also like that as well.” She said to him.

“Hmm...” He hummed as he looked over to his left to see Applejack, “Really, you have a big brother that’s the same as Fenix?”

She turned to look at him, “Yeah, I do...” I decided to stop listening and turn to look out the window once more.

Moments later, Celestia came over to me with Twilight and sat across the other side, facing me, “It’s a lovely sight, isn’t it?” She said to me with a smile.

I nodded, “Yes, it is.” Then looked out the window.

“Fenix, why are you always so quiet all the time?” Twilight asked, though it was obvious, she wanted to know the truth, “You don’t even seem to smile that much either.”... Whelp, might as well tell her.

“I wasn’t always like this. When I was a little kid, I like to talk. It was only then when I was growing up, that I stop talking and socializing with people. That in turn, affected my sociability with family, as well.”I told her without looking and knowing how she and Celestia were looking at me, it was the look of shock and disbelief. It’s probably the first for her and her Teach, there had to be a few rare occasions for the princess during her long life, but it’s most likely been a very long time since she heard or seen this happening. 

After a moment of silence, they both found their voice and asked me, “... Why?”

“Things change in time. You two, of all people, should know this: time changes many things.” I answered her, to me, it was the only... LOGICAL... explanation. I turn my head to look at her, “But enough about me, what about you princess, did anything happen in your one thousand years rule.”

She told me everything that happen, from her parent’s rule, which was way back more than a thousand, to ‘Discords’ chaotic rampage and rise, Luna turning into this ‘Nightmare Moon’ out of jealously and hate, her banishment and return to cover all of Equestria in the ‘Eternal Night’ and the girls using the ‘Elements of Harmony’ to defeat Nightmare Moon and free Luna, Discords second coming and defeat and then Shining Armor and Cadance’s Royal Wedding, which happen to went horribly wrong because of the Cadances that was suppose to get married was actually an imposter known as, “Chrysalis, Queen of the Changelings. How the hell is she able to look like your niece?”

“That’s her kind’s specialty, to take the form of their victim’s lover and extract their love from them. This is why they’re known as Changelings.” Well that should’ve been expected, I mean, of course it should’ve been simple. But there was one thing that still... Bugged me.

“How can they actually... ‘Extract’ love?”

“I’m really not sure; their magic is completely different from ours.” She said, “Anyway, the only one that thought all of it wrong was none other than my student, Twilight Sparkles.” Twilight in turn, blushed from that.

“Well then...” I jumped a bit from Axel speaking; he was just a couple of seats from me a moment ago, talking to the girls. How the hell did he get behind me, “Looks like there’s more to these girls than we thought, huh Fenix?” I turn around to face him, he was off to my right and gave a curt nod to him in agreement, “OK, she knew something was up with her, but what did you all think?” I looked towards them when he asked the question.

“We didn’t think of it at all, we all thought that she was just getting jealous and well...” Me and Axel shook our heads at this.

“Really, you guys thought that Twilight was going crazy and getting jealous about the whole wedding?” I asked and they all looked side-to-side nervously. “Oh for god sakes, people c’mon, Cadances is the Princess of Love, it shouldn’t be that FUCKING hard to actually figure out the differences between the real and the fake!” Everyone except Axel, backed away from me a bit, as if they thought I was gonna hit them. Seriously that’s just going to make things worse... Jesus even Luna’s using Axel as a fuckin’ meat shield— hey wait a minute! “Luna, did you attend to the wedding!?”

“... No.” Oh you have gotta be fucking kidding me—“But Tia was worse, when Chrysalis presented her true form, she and sister had a magical duel with each other and Tia lost!”... What??

I merely just responded with, “Uh... Luna, a being can’t win it all, there are times where you lose a fight. So we really don’t know where you’re going with this?” Seriously, if this is her excuse—

“Oh but before any of that, she yelled at Twilight for falsely accusing the fake Cadances!” She what!? Yell at Twilight!?

“Whoa, whoa, whoa... Back up Luna, there is no way she could—”

“Is this true.... Princess?” I cut Axel off from his objection and started to question The Princess of the Sun. If what her sister says is true, then— what the... Everything just went dark!?

“Don’t worry; we’re just passing through a tunnel!” Shining said to us, “It’ll only last about a few seconds.” 13 seconds or so later, the train came out of the tunnel and I turn to look at the princess. Only to find out that she wasn’t there anymore.

Everybody was just as surprise as I am, Twilight even more, “W-what!? Where did Princess Celestia go, she was just here!?” She asked as they all started look around for her, but I and Axel didn’t bother to look around along with them.

Luna notices this and asked us, “What are you two doing just sitting there?” Axel’s only responds was his finger pointing towards the carts door, which was left slightly open.

Luna gasped out loudly, which draw everyone’s attention, “She went through there?” She asked and we nodded to her.

She went to go and get her, but Axel stopped her by grabbing her tail, “Wait Luna, don’t go to her.”

“What, why!?”

“It’s best if Fenix should go to her and speak---”

“NO! I won’t let HIM near her!”

“Look Luna, either you let him go to her so she can explain it all to him or...”

“Or?”

“Or he will stomp your face in and trust me when I say ‘HE WILL’ alright.” There was a moment of silence before she to look at me.

She then asked me, “Give me one good reason why...? Why I should let someone like you to go and see my sister, tell me that.” We stared at each other for who knows how long, the tension gave everyone a worried and frightening face as it hung in the air.

I decided to cut it short and got up, but from doing so I made everybody, except Luna and Axel, flinched and back away a bit as I walked towards the door where Celestia went through and opened it. But before I enter, I turn back at Luna and said, “Because I’m responsible for her well-being... And you should be thinking about your own once I get back.” After saying that I headed out the door, not giving her a chance to say anything. Besides Axel can put in a good word for me.... Even though I don’t entirely trust him when the subject is ALL about me.

I went in through cart-to-cart trying to find her, it took a little longer than expected but I manage to find her, though it wasn't a pretty sight to see. There she was, sitting with her back face to me, quiet sobs can be heard, she’s probably crying because of the duel she lost, or something, I don’t know I wasn't good with this kind of stuff, sorry. Anyway I went up to her quietly, well I am silent all the time and only speak if need be. As soon as I reached her, she turn to face me, tears running freely down her sadden face.... I don’t know why, but, someone as... Beautiful... like her shouldn't be looking this down in the waste, but it was me who started that conversation, something I should never have done.

“Fenix...” She spoke, “C...could you sit with me, please.” I don’t know where she was going with this, but I nodded and sat next to her, “Fenix are... Are you mad at me?”

“I’ll be honest, you running away like that wasn't a good idea, which I’m disappointed of because that just tells me that you’re running away from the problem instead of dealing with it.”

“It’s not that I’m running from my defeat, I ran because... I shouted at Twilight. What kind of a princess am I, or more importantly, what kind of teacher am I Fenix!?” She yelled out soberly as more tears ran down her face.

I sighed, “I honestly don’t know, I mean I haven’t taught anyone before, individually. But I can’t say I’m impress about you yelling at her, you should’ve known how your niece works and ticks and Twilight was the only one that could see something was wrong and tried to warn you lot about it, but what do you girls do? Blew her off, that’s what!” OK I probably shouldn’t have said it like I was really pissed off with her, but hey I used to be in the army before I was moved up into the SAS ranks. So what the fuck would you expect from me; hugs and kisses! HA!!!... Well, I might have to give her a hug after this and it’s just out of forgiveness... And apologizing for shouting at her because I sorta made her cry more, but I might know how to make her feel better.

And so I pressed on, “And from what I’ve seen, Twilight looks up to you more than a teacher, she looks up to you... As a mother and I know you look to her as if she was your very own daughter, too.”

She looked at me with a slight blush across her face, with thin streams still flowing, I pretty much got her but it was easy to see from a distance. She turned away from me after a moment, “Fenix that is true and all. But the fact---”

“Celestia, we all make mistakes in life. The only thing we can do is to learn from these things and make sure we don’t repeat them again.” I placed my right hand under her chin and pull her face to look at mine, “Just don’t go that way, alright. You’ll find nothing down there if you keep continuing on this way. What’s done is done, there’s no need to dwell on the past anymore and besides Twilight has forgiven you, and you know that.” Man I seriously don’t know what the hell I was doing, but the next move Celestia made caught me off guard. She threw her forelegs around my neck and pulled me in a tight embrace with her head over my left shoulder. I was hesitant at first, not sure what to do, but somehow my arms had found their way and wrapped around her back.

I guess she’s thanking me or looking for comfort? I don’t know but that didn’t matter to me, as a matter of fact, I was...enjoying it, if you could believe it.

If only for a moment longer... “That has got to be the most beautiful and romantic thing I have seen from the two... And especially from Fenix.” Ah Jesus that was Twilight’s voice.

We both froze in place and slowly turned our heads towards not only to see her, but the others as well, “Don’t tell me you guys heard all that did you?”

Axel replied with a smirk, “Oh... We most certainly heard the whole thing, right girls?”... Dammit all.

“Oh yeah we did! Oh man Fenix; you sure are a sappy dude aren’t ya huh?” You better watch your mouth Skittles, because I’m soooo gonna kill you soon ENOUGH!!!

But before any of that, “Luna!” I looked over to Axel to see if she was still with him, fortunately she was, but squirmed behind him, yet again. “Don’t think I don’t know it was you that ran after me.”

After that I turn my attention back to Axel, “Hey man, I tried to tell her that you weren’t going to hurt her, but she wasn’t convinced about it.”

“Yeah man, she was uptight about it, so we all followed after her.” Vinyl said.

I look to each of them for a moment or two until I realized that one pony wasn’t with the lot, “Hey guys...uh, where’s Pinkie Pie?” As soon as I asked them, that crazy pink pony just appeared right in between me and Celestia... How the fuck does she even do that!?

“Oh hey Fenix, so I was just wondering about all this, what with the princess hugging you and you hugging back the princess and all, are you and Princess Celestia going to be in a relationship now!?” After what she said, everything seem to go blank in my mind as I seem to have completely forgotten what Pinkie ask of me. “Fenix, you alive in there? Oh I can’t believe this; I think I might have broken him!”

“W-what!? No, no, no you didn’t Pinkie I’m fine, just fine.” I shook my head a little bit before asking her, “But what was it you asked me again, I don’t remember.”

“Oh... Uh... Nevermind, it was a stupid one anyway. Oh look, there’s Ponyville!” She pointed out her hoof towards a village or a town, whichever one works.

“So, this is Ponyville huh? Cool.” Axel said.

“Exactly, what is dear?” Rarity asked him.

“Hmm... Let see here: it’s a little town that looks peaceful and quiet, sort of surrounded by Mother Nature, and it’s bound to have friendly people in it, or in this case; friendly pony-folk.”

“Yeah, I’m with you on that one.” I replied to her, but as we looked back at Rarity, she was looking at us as if we’ve gone off on the crazy side... Didn’t we just tell her our answer back in the city?

“Rarity, they just told ya they’re not into the whole city-living style thing. Now would ya’ll drop it!” Applejack shouted at her and I’m guessing they don’t get along most of the time.

“Really? Wow, I’ve never met ponies that don’t like living in the cities.”

“That’s because these gentlemen are not ponies, Vinyl.” Octavia said as Vinyl had a slight blush appear on her, “But it does explain why they were in a bit of a bad mood.”

“More or less, but yeah you could say that.” I said to her as we draw closer to the town. Wonder how these ones will fair with us.

To be continued...
