3rd POV
One thousand years after the banishment of Nightmare Moon and the sealing of the being that came to be known as Darkness, Princess Celestia sends her personal student, Twilight Sparkle, to the small town of Ponyville. She met several interesting ponies while trying to get to the library, but the most interesting were the four ponies in charge of protecting the town from the monsters of the Everfree.
They were mostly mares with only one unicorn stallion and they all lived in a small stone house near the Everfree. The first mare, Adagio Dazzle, was an orange-maned unicorn with a yellow coat and a cutie mark of a sparkling or dazzling quarter note. The second mare, Aria Blaze, was a light pink pegasus with a purple mane that had teal highlights. Her cutie mark was a burning quarter note. The last mare, Sonata Dusk, was a light blue earth pony with a light arctic blue mane that had blue highlights. Her cutie mark was a quarter note in front of a setting sun.
The stallion was strange as he claimed to be the mentor of the three mares despite looking to be no older than twenty-three. He was a unicorn named Split Duality and his cutie mark was a Yin and Yang that had been separated. His coat, mane and horn were black on the left side and white on the right while his eyes were two different colors. His right eye was a normal sky blue, but his left was blood red and the sclera was black. After making sure that the four ponies were prepared to defend the town from monsters, Twilight had left without even noticing the sigh of relief that the stallion let out.
Jason's POV
I let out a deep sigh as I turned back to face my students while smiling.
"Thank grandfather she didn't ask too many questions. Now, I want to make sure that you three know the plan. Please recite it to me." I said calmly while snapping my fingers, causing both myself and the siren sisters to return to our human forms. Aria nodded first before stepping forward while wearing the navy blue graphene armor that I had given the three sisters. The armors were all identical and covered their entire body from head to toe while looking more like full body suits. The helmet could be taken off by pressing a button on the back of the neck while the full face visor could be retracted by pressing a button behind the left ear. The fact that the armor made them all look the same made it impossible for enemies to take advantage of their individual weaknesses. My twin brother and I had often used this tactic against smarter enemies before I had to kill him.
"We are to stand by and watch while you go ahead of the future element bearers and occupy Somnum exterreri." Aria answered before Adagio stepped up.
"We are to watch over the future element bearers and make sure that they don't die and that the timeline happens the way you remember it." Adagio said before Sonata stepped up.
"Once that is done and the elements have destroyed Somnum exterreri, we are to reveal ourselves when you do. If the solar tyrant remains hostile we are to flee." Sonata said before I bopped her on the head. "Ow! What was that for?!" Sonata shouted while I chuckled.
"You called Celestia a tyrant. She is simply a being that lost control when she lost her sister. There is no point in being angry at her for making the same mistakes that I made. That would be hypocritical of me." I said calmly before nodding to them, signaling that it was time for them to leave and prepare. My three students quickly gathered the six objects that I told them to never leave without, which were actually just the Shinobi Rokugu, as well as kunai, for digging, and tantos, for the rare occasion where they had no choice but to fight, before leaving. Once they left I teleported to the ruins of the Everfree castle with a smile on my face. I may have been angry at the sisters for causing the death of my daughter and disappearance of my kingdom, but I forgave them years ago. They had no way of knowing what would happen and were separated by one of Exitium's creations, just like me and my brother.
I let out a small sigh before going to where I knew Somnum exterreri would appear when the new element bearers arrived. I quickly started taking supplies out of my pocket universe and setting up traps all over the room that ranged from bear traps to tripwires. Once the traps were in place I forced my body to absorb some of the mana that was in the air before quickly using it to make the traps invisible. As soon as I was finished, I fell over from pain and exhaustion. My body naturally forces magic out, which is why magic hurts me, but I can make my body absorb it instead. Doing this doesn't change my body's natural want to expel magic. The longer magic stays inside my body, the more damage that is done to the inside of my body. If I were to do that for too long it would kill me, so I always make sure to use all of the magic as quickly as possible.
Now that the traps were set, I shapeshifted into a bat before flying to the ceiling and hanging down from it. I then silently waited for my prey to arrive so that I could make it up to my brother by helping save the life of another person's sibling.
