BOMB!" Zero stated. "You know when you dragged me out here 10 seconds ago, I thought you would be having sex with me." Applejack folded her arms and pouted. "WELL EXCUSE ME PRINCESS!" Zero copied Applejack's arms and pouted with her. "That's my line." A mysterious figure popped up. Zero jumped up and protected Applejack. He unfolded his arms and stood upfront of Applejack to block any hits. They never came, "Aren't you suppose to be in there fighting?" The pony closed in on Zero. "Or are you chicken?" This caught Zero's attention. "I'm not chicken!" "Prove it!" "How!" "I haven't fought anyone in a while..." The pony lifted his hoof to his chin. "Ya, lets do that!" Zero took off his shirt (IDK WHY) and said, "LETS GO!!!" Zero closed in and grabbed the pony by the neck. Upon examination, the pony was a pegasus with black everywhere. "Well that's not fair! Let's make this fair!" Magic swirled around Zero and Applejack and they were both turned back into pony form. The grip on the pony was lost and they settled on the ground. "There we go! Let's go!" The pony uppercutted Zero and he flew back over Applejack. "ZERO!!!" "That hurt... but i'm ok." Zero spat out some blood and charged the pony. A simple push lead Zero into crashing onto the wall. "This isn't fun for someone who can't fight." The pony spat on the ground. "If you think you can beat me by being a idiot, try again." "I WILL!!!" Zero charged the black pegasus again, stopped and spun around behind him. "TAKE THIS!!!" Zero bucked the black pony as hard as he could, which was pretty strong. Big Mac had been teaching him a little in an art. "Sneaky little bastard." The pony leaped up and took Zero's head and slammed it into the ground. Applejack winced. He took out some magic and focused it on his hoof. He placed it on Zero's back, and jolted him back up. It was to say the least, painful. Zero staggered backwards. His breathing was hard and his muscles were tensing. Then he remembered something. He looked back at Applejack and he couldn't believe his eyes. There, pinning down Applejack, stood the black pony. He smiled and in the air floated his bombs. "Looking for something?" Zero fell to the ground. The magic from the black pony was pushing on his brain, killing him from the inside out. "I like to... blow up my victims. Magic can do that you know?" Applejack started to cry as Zero fell to the ground. His body felt weird as unknown black magic stirred in him. He had no idea this pony was so powerful. That's when a whip wrapped around Zero and electrocuted him. Not painfully, but where his fur stood up. "I can control the electrical pulse it sends out you know?" Lum jumped from the shadows, pulling back on her whip. "Electricity can kill magic. That's why Alicorns aren't very known." "Who... are... you..." That's when Zero fainted. "A friend my dear... Lush, let her go." Lum flexed her whip. "Or else what?" Lush put more strain on Applejack's neck, causing her to choke. "Or this." A sword pierced through Lush's head, and was forever dead. "Good job baby." Lum trotted to Nightwing and kissed him on the cheek. "I'm so confused... whats going on? Why are you helping me and Zero? Why did you call him baby?" Lum looked sad. "First we are helping you, that means we are on your side. Second we made some decisions and decided that the Nameless are a bunch of jerk faces. Third... we feel in love." "Well if you put it that way, they are in there." Applejack pointed to the steel door. "Not yet dear, lets treat Zero's wounds first." Lum and Nightwing went to Zero, but was interrupted by Applejack jumping over them and landing above Zero, minding his body. "Oh no you don't! Last time you did something, both of you tried to kill Lan. I'm not letting one of you near him." Applejack layed down near Zero, shedding tears but trying to hold them back. "I know what we did was wrong, but please let us help. When they busted us out of jail and got back, we were a laughing stock of the century! All the missions we got was toilet cleaning and... i'm sorry... we realized that the Nameless uses pony's to get what they want. If anything, I know you have full right to do this." Lum and Nightwing bowed. Applejack thought for a moment. She shook her head and gave in. "Fine... just be gentle." Nightwing went to work. ~~~~~~~ 20 minutes later. "Done... he should be fine." They heard screaming in the battle room. "Applejack stay here with Zero, make sure he doesn't move. Lush was a devil on him." The screaming got quite. "Let's go Lum." They kicked down the door. ~~~~~~~ The magic turned everyone back into their original forms. Lan was still shocked. He's ally here was he's first and only friend at earth. His mind wondered left and right, up and down, trying to find a way to this. "You were in the hospital for three months... when the doctors told me that you didn't make it... I didn't know what to do... Lan... you should of seen the people in school... they LOVED you. They felt sorry for everything they did. Ryan even started a fundraiser for your parents." Lan couldn't believe what he was hearing. "But then... everything tore apart. I found out about Sydney, that she was cheating on me, I left her. I feel into depression and... that's when I found out my parents were dead. They got hit by a semi... I took my life Lan... to help you... I knew that you would come here when I meet him. I told him that I would serve you in your quest. He told me to become a Nameless and get as much info as I could. That's where this comes in." "... Root... Will..." Lan looked around, first to Arrell, which was in the care of Twilight and Luna being healed, and to the door which had been opened and two familiar pony's stood. "NIGHTWING!!! LUM!!!" Lan jolted to them, but was stopped by Applejack's voice. "Lan, they are on your side now. Trust them." Lan looked at the two ponies. "Sorry about almost killing you." Nightwing said. "Ditto." Lum replied. "Touche." Lan turned around. "Ok, this is how it goes. Girls, get out of here with Arrell and..." Lan saw Zero and Applejack. "And Zero. Me, Blue, Ro- Will, Lum, and Nightwing will fight this guy. It wont take long." With that, everyone that Lan told to go left. They knew that this was his game. In a flash of light, his friends, both healed and injured was gone. Now it was his turn to die. "So you want to kill me? Well that's too bad... can't die now! My name is Nish. You will address me as Lord Nish." "Bitch please fish, were doing this my way!" Lan boasted out. "FISH!? You will address me as LORD NISH!" "That's what I said, nerd fish." The rest of the people couldn't help but laugh. "THAT'S IT!!!" Nish flew towards Lan. Lan giggled and stopped him with one hoof. "Ow... WHA... HOW?!" Lan looked at Nish, "If you must know fish, i'm not here to play games." Lan let go of his grasp and punched Nish in the face, sending back on the throne. "Is he dead?" Root said. "I hope..." Blue worriedly said. "Nope... still alive." Nish got up, rubbing his head. He looked up to see Lan glowing in a white light. The light grew brighter as the seconds passed and suddenly a bright flash killed the room. Lan's broken body was repaired, and now Lan was back with his wings and horn. "Well that was random..." Root said. Nish saw his chance, he rushed forward, blade drawn, and went for Lan. That's when Lan opened his eyes. His eyes, bright as heaven with tears of blood running down his face. His purple mane glowed in a vagrant hue, and his body was ready. "Back off mortal!" Lan said with a angelic voice. "This world shall be cleanse without your presence! This will be the day that you die!" Lan's horn glowed, and with that a purple ball or energy and fired it at Nish. The energy beam lasted for about 5 seconds and dispersed, as did Nish. "Holy hell I do not want to fight you again!" That was the last thing Lan heard before he fell to the ground. ~~~~~~~ Lan woke up in a white castle. He prompted up and noticed he was in human form. He looked up and saw a ray of light coming from a throne. He knew where this was going. "Ah, so you already know what is going to happen, no?" Lan was confused. "I know some things were said here and there, but... I think I have a proposition for you." "What send me to hell and let me rot. That was the plan, no?" Lan said, now mocking God. "You can stay in Equestria." "WHAT?! I thought-" "I changed my mind." "... Sneaky little bastard..." "Hehe, anything new you would like to call me?" Both God and Lan laughed. "Well this is a good bye, have fun with your new child." "Gotcha!" Lan fell. ~~~~~~~ Lan woke up in a hospital bed. This was the same room as last time. By his side was Twilight. "Twilight..." "Oh Lan! Your awake!" Lan took one look at Twilight and saw that he had been out for a while. "For one month." "Wha..." "You had been out for one month. X was right... Lan i'm pregnant." Lan laid back. "Hows everyone." "Arrell's okay. He's up and about. Blue is now king, Root is his body guard. Anyone else?" "You." Twilight laughed. "Its good to have you back Lan. Lets go home." ~~~~~~~ "So, Lan killed Nash, eh?" "Yes sir." "Pay up bitch." "Fine, ill get you your money. The second I saw Lan recover, I knew I would lose." "Yes, but he won't stand a chance against me, if my name isn't Malord, Ruler of Evil!" ~~~~~~~ "I knew he could do it, hes a strong one. Right God?" "Yes, stronger than I had imagined..." "But why did he flash?" "I healed him and gave him some juice..." "... Something wrong?" "What about Equestria?" "What about it? Blue Breeze will do a good job." "What about-" "Look God, Blue will be okay!" "Ok, fine, I trust you. But he misses you Celestia." "... As do I." "Do you want to see him..." "More than anything, but not now. My ground body still needs healing." "As do I." ~~~~~~~ A Hero's Choice Credits Idea of story: Living the Dream / kickass222urmom Story ideas: kickass222urmom zeroman Ice Spell checker: Ice Thank you to all the people that stuck through this story.
