March 1,
I woke up the next morning in the Ponyville hospital feeling much better. Jynx was waiting for me.
“Morning, honey.” I said.
She returned my greeting with a hoof to the face.
“Ow, come on I’m in the hospital here.” I said.
“So any injuries I give you will be taken care of easily!” she was pissed, “Don't you ever scare my like that. You could have been killed!” she was in tears now, “Why didn't you let us help?”
“I'm sorry. I didn't want you to get hurt. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I let something happen to you.” I said.
“And what would I do if you died?” she asked.
I thought about what Discord said. If he was right the better question would be what would Equestria do. I shouldn't have risked taking off the armor like I did.
“I'm sorry. I won't take anymore needless risks. I won't stop fighting to protect everyone, but I’ll think before I do it.” I said.
She climbed into the bed beside me and we held each other. We laid like that for about a half hour before the nurse walked in.
“Oh my, I’m not interrupting anything am I?” she said blushing.
“No, you're fine.” we did kindda look like we were getting 'close'
“Your free to go whenever you want, Shiro.” she said.
“Thank you, nurse.” I said, “Are you ready to go home?”
“Not yet, Twilight wanted everypony at the library for a get-together. Just for fun.” she said.
“Alright, I have an idea.” I said with a wicked smile.

Jynx and I were stalking around an underground ruin searching for our targets. I took another look back at Twilight's body. Pinkie of all ponies killed her... at least I got Pinkie before she could kill any more.
“Where do we go now?” Jynx asked, “We can't go that way there's too many tr...” a sword erupted from her chest and she collapsed with Rainbow Dash behind her holding a bloody sword.
She charged me but I launched a fireball at her face burning her to a crisp. I took a deep breath.
“FUS RO DAH!” came a soft shout from behind me sending me into the air before I became a pin cushion filled with arrows. Arrows fired by a yellow pegasus.

I took the visor off and looked as the others did the same.
“How the, hay, are you so good at that?” asked Dash, “You hit him three times before he even hit the ground.”
“Oh, I don't know,” said Fluttershy, “I guess I’m just lucky.”
“That's not luck.” I said, “You're just good.”
That was the fifth strait match in Matrix Skyrim Multiplayer (that's right bitches, you know you want it) that she won. Before that it was Battlefield 3. She's a natural.
“Ah can't believe she shouted me in ta a dagum pit uh spikes.” AJ said.
“At least she didn't crush yer skull.” said Big Mac.
“And Ah wanted ta crush yer skull, sugarcube.” said AJ, “Ya took mah kill, Fluttershy.”
“Oh, I'm sorry. I'll let you kill him next time.” Fluttershy said.
Do you know how weird it is listening to ponies talk about who they killed. It's really friggin weird.
“I'll tell you why she's so good.” Dash said, “The game has dragon powers... obviously she has an advantage.”
“Rainbow Dash, I doubt dragons can use their voices like that.” Twilight said.
“That's not entirely true, Twilight.” Fluttershy said, “The dragon language does have power when spoken by dragons. It's not quite like that, but it can be powerful. Of course not many know the language, even among dragons.”
“What? How?” Twilight was getting ready to go all brainy on us, “How can words have power? Their only sound waves in the air, it's just not logical.”
I laughed, “I use to be logical, then I took an inter-dimensional jump to the face.” hay, the meme's are new to them.
She laughed, “Good point. Most of my life has been illogical ever since I left Canterlot. You and Pinkie being the sources of most of my logic issues.”
“Glad I could brighten up your days.” I smiled at her.
“Alright, lab rat, it's time for me to get some more experiments done.” Jynx said.
“Really, well do I have a surprise for you.” I gave her a smile, “We might want twilight's help.”
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
“Bankai!” that will never get old.
After the flash Jynx and Twilight stared open jawed at the feline Gundam made out of blades. If I had a camera I’d have taken a picture.
We were on my favorite hill. It's the perfect place for tests since it's so far from town. Not to mention the view is amazing.
I flexed the blades all over in a wave just to show off. I’m not sure how I can control over two hundred blades but I can. Have I ever mentioned how much I love my instinctive knowledge? I have? Good, 'cause I do, I really do. Things are much easier when you don't have to learn stuff.
“That's incredible!” Jynx said, “It appears to be a kind of matter replication combined with non-organic/organic integration. I wonder if the blades are partially organic themselves? The shaman of the lion tribes could attach semi-organic objects to living beings but it's suppose to be impossible to use non-organic material. I doubt I could remove them so I’ll have to scan them while attached.”
As I wondered what the hell 'semi-organic' material was, Jynx's artificial horn horn lit up with a pail golden light. A similar light moved around me from my head down and back.
“Oh my Celestia, They're not just non-organic, their Arcanium!” she saw my confusion, “Refined Arcanite, fused with steel. That being said it should be easy to infuse them with magic.”
I raised my paw and released a torrent of... nothing.
“So much for easy.” I said.
Twilight had an idea, “Try channeling into the blades alone.”
I nodded and pushed my fire through the baraka blade on my right arm. It shot off like a rocket embedding itself into a tree before dislodging itself and returning to it's starting place.
“That was friggin' sweet!” I said.
“That is interesting.” Jynx said, “Twilight try lifting him with your magic. I have a theory.”
Twilight's horn glowed as she scrunched up her face in concentration. More layers of magic formed as sweat formed on her forehead. It was no use. I remained firmly on the ground. She gave up after a few minutes, panting and sweating.
“I can't budge him. It's like he weighs as much as Equestria.” said the purple princess.
“I knew it.” Jynx said, “That's why you can't use your magic normally. It's enchanted with an anti-magic barrier.”
“That'll come in handy if I have to fight evil unicorns or something.” I said.
“Maybe I can ask mom to see how much it can resist.” Twilight offered.
“With as much magic energy as she can produce...” Jynx said, “well I’d rather not have a puddle of jelly for a coltfriend.”
“Yes,” I said as I released the armor and returned Piercing Light to its saya, “Tiger jelly bad. Besides, I’d taste bad on toast.”
“How about as toast!” a unicorn in a Zoro mask appeared with five others, “'cause that's what you're going to be unless you hoof over everything you got.”
“You're kidding... you're kidding, right?” I said not realizing the quote. This guy's an idiot!
I turned to the mares behind me, “I know I promised I’d never eat a pony... unless they asked me to,” I looked at Jynx with a grin, “but this is kinda like asking for it, right?”
“While I admit, you would be doing pony kind a favor by removing them from the gene pool,” Jynx said, “it would still be frowned upon by society.”
“And frowns upset Pinkie Pie. I refuse to upset Pinkie Pie.” I finished.
“Shut up and give us the goods!” said the wanna be Zoro.
“Let's have some fun with them.” I snapped my fingers.
“You wanna fight, fine” said the leader and charged. His strike missed... by about ten feet, “What the hay!” the six ponies were fighting air... or so it seemed.
Twi and Jynx were dumbfounded.
“Here.” I handed them each a pair of 3D glasses.
They looked confused for a second before putting them on. The sight they beheld was one for the books. Copies of us were ducking and weaving around them.
Jynx laughed, “Holy crap, what idiots.”
“Popcorn?” I offered from my nice comfy theater seat.
“Thanks.” Jynx said taking the seat next to me, while Twilight took the third.
The other us's were taunting and teasing the schmucks as they ducked and weaved around them with ease, but not even being real makes that easy. We just watched with amusement.
“Waddya say I make it more interesting?” I asked.
Twilight just said, “I think we should just turn them over to the authorities.”
Jynx was laughing, “And miss all this fun. No way let's have more fun first.”
With another snap of my fingers the fun was doubled.
“How are you so fast?!” asked one of the would be highway men... er, ponies... whatever.
“I'll tell you” Not-Twilight said with a demonic voice, her eyes glowing red.
The three illusions sprouted demon wings and fangs (except me I already had them). Shadows melted from tree's and rocks, and formed a ring of shadow creatures around them as the sky went pitch black. The six stallions were reduced to crying, quivering masses.
“P, P, P, Pl, please don't eat us.” it was fucking hilarious.
Twilight was trying to hold back her laughter, while Jynx and I fell out of our seats with ours.
“I, I think Ja, Jail will look good after this.” Jynx eventually got out.
“OK, Twilight, bind them please. I’ll get a guard.” I said.
Twilight made chains of magic wrap around them. They let out a blood curdling scream.
I released the spell and ran off to find a guard. By the time I got back with one they were still screaming.
“WOULD YOU SHUT THEM UP!!!” Jynx and Twilight screamed at me together.
“Hay, thieves.” the unicorn guard said.
The wailing finally stopped.
“Oh thank Celestia, They're demons.” the leader said pointing a hoof at us.
The guard looked over at me and I gave him a little smirk. He got the idea.
“Oh I know,” the guard said. The six stallions eyes grew even more fearful, “the whole town is... you didn't know that?” this guy could've gotten an Emmy, “That sucks for you. Oh, well.” he looked at me as he lifted them in his magic, “Which one do you want for diner?”
“Surprise me.” I said.
“You realize you probably drove them insane?” Twilight said.
I smiled, “Probably.”
