I sat on my throne as the King of The Minotaurs, it felt good, but then I sat there began to think.

'Von Shadow is another displaced that has the potential to rival me in combat, he seems quite... strong, maybe too strong. I need to get stronger, I know I'm not invincible so I should hone my skills in the Six Powers, if I get the basics down then I could easily put up a fight with Von Shadow. Wait didn't Lucci say that the Minotaurs are in possession of the Reality Stone? Why don't I have it in my gauntlet?' I sat up from my throne and walked on down, the little calf who I saw in the arena, or also know as Golden Shield, walked towards me.

"Mr. Thanos?" She looked up and me, I smiled and kneeled down to her.

"Yes, Golden Shield?" I asked in a soft and mellow tone, she smiled.

"Were you thinking of the red stone in the vault?" How could she know what I was thinking about? Was she a psychic? No, that isn't possible, she is a Minotaur, not a Unicorn. I let out a soft chuckle before answering her.

"Indeed I was little one, do you mind showing me where the vault is?" She nodded and walked off, I followed her. We walked down several hallways and stairs (I had to carry her down those stairs, I don't want her to get hurt do it?) but we finally arrived, it was a big vault, the door was several inches thick. I opened the door with the giant key that was handed to me by the guard who was protecting the vault. There were a lot of weapons, gold, treasures from everywhere, but all in the middle was a glass case and in that glass case was the Reality Stone, I smiled and walked forth.

"It's been too long... But finally, we have reunited again..." I stood in front of the glass case and grabbed the reality stone, breaking the glass. Golden Shield stood there in awe.

"My poppy said that only creatures with the strongest of wills can break that kind of glass..." She looked up to me, and I again, smiling down at her.

"Then my will must be very strong then." I chuckled as I played with the stone in my palm before finally putting it in my gauntlet, the experience shook my body and made me shake, then every single token that I gave to displaced was updated.

"I'm almost whole again... Finally!" I clenched my gauntlet hand and I turn around with haste, "Golden Shield you can watch if you want to but I'm going to do some training!" I smiled as I walked off, she followed me with a waddle, god was it so darn adorable. As I went through several halls I went into a room, easily half the size of a football field, I saw Grievous, Entity, and Lucci sparring, Grievous had one of his swords in his foot and two other in his hands, not using his other set of arms. They then paused with their sparring math and turned to me, I held up my gauntlet, and they smiled.

"Got your stone from Karen?" Grievous joked, and I grinned.

"She has two other stones in her grasp but, I'll get them one way or another." They walked up to me and I give them a 'Are you ready?' look, we go to the sparring area and I waited for the first person to jump at me. I didn't want to get rusty with the Reality Stone, do I?

"Are you guys prepared to get your flanks whooped?" I said clenching my fist and unclenching it.

"No, how about you?" Grievous laughed as he got into his "Three Sword Style" stance.

"And let's begin." I declared as they ran at me, I let them come at my, Lucci was about to pounce on my but a pillar of earth shot up from the ground and hit him, the pillar then bends into an upside-down U and slams him into the earth. Entity and Grievous looked back at Lucci, then back at me, and then charged me, Entity threw his scythe at me to which I ducked, the scythe came around like a boomerang and went back into Entity's hand. Grievous lunged at me trying to slice me with his earth sword, but ironically an earth version of him jumped from the ground and slammed himself onto Grievous, meanwhile, I stood there untouched. I then form rock copies of Lucci and Entity, and you better believe they hit hard, Lucci was still pinned to the ground and Rock Lucci punched Lucci's face over and over and over again, not planning on stopping.

"Tekai!" Lucci shouted as another fist came down on him, but this time, Rock Lucci's fist broke. Lucci then slammed his elbow down on the pillar that was pinning him down, it cracked, and after several attacks, he was set free, while he was still on the ground Rock Lucci axe kicked Lucci down, Lucci's head was now one whole foot deep in the earth because this training room was ground level. Grievous and Rock Grievous were tussling on the ground, rolling and punching, but eventually Rock Grievous kicked Grievous off of him and into a wall, Grievous bounced off of it and landed on his claws, dazed. Rock Grievous ran at Grievous and grabbed him by the back of the head and dragged his head across the wall and into Entity who was currently in a scythe fight with his counterpart. Entity fell and I clench my fist and pillars of rock wrapped themselves around the two, planting them firmly into the ground. Lucci was attacked by an onslaught of attacks by the Rock copies, they were fast, know all six powers too to make it a challenge for Lucci, and oh boy did they succeed. Rock Lucci got Lucci in a full nelson before Rock Grievous and Rock Entity hugged Lucci and they started to form into a rock prison covered him in rock from toe to neck.

"This is was all with the power of the Reality Stone... Imagine, what I could do with all six?" I said looking at Lucci's attempts to break free but with every try, the prison became tighter and tighter, the wind was squeezed out of him like an orange being crushed of its juices, Grievous and Entity were pinned down. I clench my gauntlet fist and everything disappeared that was under the effects of the Reality Stone, the pillar was gone, the Rock copies of the trio sunk into the ground, and the destruction caused by our battle faded. The boys got up and looked at me, injured and awestricken.

"Alright boys, I know we're already strong as it is but we can be stronger! War is coming so we must be on our toes, we all know the Six Powers but not all of them. We need Haki and the Six Powers, until we hone all of those skills we aren't strong enough. I realized with my spar with Von Shadow that I'm not strong enough to one-shot everything. So my goal is to be the best fighter- no, the best warrior a displaced can be! Now let's train boys!" I pumped my fist into the air and the trio pump their fists into the air as well. Sally waddles on down with bacon.

"BACON!!!!!!!!!" We throw our hands into the air, oh just so you know Grievous has some tiny compartment in his back, that is where his taste buds lie and his metal teeth too. Yeah weird... But anyway we eat our meal, Grievous had his head backward as he at his meal which was funny. I then realize that there is a summit involving all of the world leaders to meet at Canterlot.

"Buck."
