XLIV
Twilight’s eyes fluttered open, a small yawn escaped her as she sat up and stretched her wings. Glancing around, she noticed her friends still fast asleep on the floor wrapped in the warm blankets she had provided. Rainbow Dash was sprawled, legs splayed about as she snored lightly. Applejack was curled in a tight warm ball with a content smile on her face. Pinkie Pie was on her back, all four of her legs pointed straight up, but still she slept. Fluttershy lay on her side snuggling a snoozing Rarity like a teddy bear, the fashionista in question had her mane in curlers and a sleep mask over her eyes. Both wore happy smiles.
Twilight glanced over and noticed Cadance sound asleep, giggling in her sleep.
“Shining….no,” she rolled over, “no pony rides……..”
Twilight shook her head and decided to quietly ease out of the study. Trotting silently, she decided to get some early morning reading done while the others slept, though one thing bothered her. She noticed Baen was nowhere to be found. She surmised that he had probably left early.
“Probably going to get some early morning training,” she chuckled as she flipped open the latest Daring Do book, “Well he’s going to miss out on some of the best French toast.”
As she hunkered down to read, the sound of frantic foot falls met her ears. Turning around she saw Spike enter on the brink of collapse.
“Spike,” she scolded, “you know better than to make a racket like this. You could wake everypony up.”
Spike raised a claw, “Twilight,” his voice was low and saddened, “I think….,” he held up a note, “you should read this.”
Twilight magiced the note over and glanced at the hoof writing, which she recognized as Baen’s, a look of confusion appeared on her face. Opening the note, she skimmed over it. But as she did, the color drained from her face. Each skim making her expression become more and more distressed, she looked around frantically and dropped the note. Rushing to each room, calling for the barbarian who would never answer, the alicorn could already feel tears forming. After searching the last few rooms, she slumped before the note. A yawn signified that Twilight’s guests had woken up.
“Mornin Twi,” Applejack then took note of Twilight’s current condition, “What’s the matter?”
Twilight levitated the note.
*
Dear Twilight,
Most likely by the time you read this, I will be gone. Just know I do not do this out of spite, but out of protection for you. I have realized that Malachi intends to surface at Canterlot and I have developed a drastic plan to prevent this. I cannot allow your land to fall into ruin for my past mistakes, therefore….I am deeply sorry for leaving you like this. Do not attempt to follow me. Know that where I go, I carry you all with me in my heart. Tell Coco I’m sorry.
Your friend, Baen.
*
Twilight lowered the note as she stared into space, a forlorn expression plastering itself on her face. The girls were active.
“We can’t jus let him do this,” Applejack paced, “We gotta find him!”
Fluttershy raised a hoof, “But didn’t he say…not to?
Rainbow Dash shook her head, “Of course he did. He’s Baen! He feels s like he has to do EVERYTHING himself. He’s treating us like we’re fillies that can’t protect themselves.”
Rarity sat on her rump beside Twilight, “Surely you don’t intend to let this stand darling.”
Twilight was silent.
Cadance read over the note a few more times and narrowed her eyes. After a few moments of silence, the princess of love left the room and returned moments later in her regalia. Without saying a word, she penned a note and made it vanish in a flash of pink light. After a few more moments, another note appeared bearing Celestia’s seal. The girls watched in silence as Cadance scanned it. Inhaling to calm her nerves, she turned to Twilight and gently nudged her.
The distressed alicorn looked at her sister in law, “I know where Baen is heading.”
*
Halfway across Equestria, far outside of the Everfree Forest lay The Badlands. This land was a massive desert with rock formations, large mountains, and barely any vegetation. But one thing lay beyond the unforgiving terrain, The Gates of Tartarus. And at the moment, Baen stood before them, his gaze steeled and resolve settled. Inhaling, he steadied his nerves and ventured forth. The massive stone gates had various depictions upon them, pictures of creatures, monsters unlike any other. All were to deter, but the barbarian refused to slow. He placed both of his front hooves on the gates and pushed. A great groan and creaking graced his ears as the ancient stone gates were forced to open. The barbarian emerged into a massive maw of a tunnel. The blackness was like that of the night, dark, unknown, and held most likely great terror. Baen stepped over the threshold and the doors cast only a sliver of light into the deep dark tunnel.
“Hm,” as Baen ventured further he began to notice the cavern lightening.
After several more yards he emerged in a massive cavern overlooking several spires that seemed to have shapes on them. Shaking his head, he began to hike down a winding pathway to the ground level….then he heard the growling. Slowly turning his head, he stared into the eyes of a three headed dog. Staring evenly at Cerberus, he raised his hoof.
“Be at ease guardian,” Baen stated, “I’m only here to set something right.”
Cerberus tilted its heads. Baen had remembered well when Fluttershy has told him about how she had reasoned with the dog, because in the end that’s what he was, a large three headed dog.
“You sense it too don’t you?” Baen surmised as he scratched the center dog’s chin, “an irregularity in the natural order.”
The dogs two free heads nodded, their ears going back in mild fear.
Baen tapped his chin, “Would you perhaps be able to guide me to the disturbance?”
Cerberus pondered for a moment…then licked the barbarian. It beckoned him to follow, to which he complied.
*
The girls looked at Twilight in worry as she shoved various materials into her saddlebag. Her face was a mask of contained anger.
“Tartarus,” she growled, “of all the irresponsible,” she groaned in anger and shut her saddlebag and made for the door.
Applejack fell in step beside her, “Um Twi, what exactly is your plan anyhow?”
Twilight smiled a little unsettlingly, “Oh, we’re going to go down there, find Baen, and help him take down Malachi,” she then narrowed her eyes, “then when all is said and done. I’m going to kill him.”
The girls looked at each other with mild worry. Cadance looked to Spike as the girl’s hauled flank toward the Everfree Forest.
“Spike, take a letter for me will you?”
Spike bowed, “It will be my honor princess.”
*
Meanwhile, in Tartarus, Baen was taken to one of the high spires. Cerberus barked a quick goodbye and ran back to its post. As Baen stood, he glanced over the edge; a shiver ran up through his spine as he stared into the abyss before him.
“It is you. I thought perhaps I was hallucinating.”
Baen glanced beside him, and saw a familiar face. The only difference was that this face was not what it originally looked like. He was the exact same height as Baen and he looked old, far older than they last met.
“Tirek,” Baen stated with mild annoyance, “You look better.”
Tirek growled, “Count yourself lucky that this cage contains me warrior, or I would have drained you dry. But why would a pony willingly come to Tartarus,” he glanced around with a smirk, “and…alone at that?”
Baen glared at the caged tyrant, “To save Equestria. And by extension unfortunately,” he gestured to Tirek, “you.”
Tirek raised an eyebrow.
“If Malachi claws his way up, he’ll destroy everything on the way,” Baen cited with a mild growl, “Be grateful you hooved monster.”
Tirek turned from him.
Baen inhaled and stared once more into the Abyss. Shaking his head, his muscles tensed, and he jumped. As he fell, he felt the darkness grasping at him, dragging him further down. Every breath he took was like inhaling the tundra itself, he glanced around wildly trying to find anything. But eventually, all light was snuffed out. No sounds entered his ears….he was in The Void, or perhaps he was close to it. Eventually however, he saw it. A massive churning vortex of black and white, the white was the vortex itself, the black were chunks of stone. He steered himself for a landmass sized stone and hit it, hard. The pony rolled upon impact and spat out some dirt.
“Not one of my finest landings,” he glanced around, “Now to find….”
He then heard it. The breathing of something titanic in size. He slowly turned his head and beheld the one who was breathing. The creature was immense, so much so, he dwarfed Olf’Ric in size. His armor was much smoother, an unnatural smooth and a sinister white. Ridges were on his forearms, giving the appearance that he might have fins of some form. The creature’s fingers ended naturally in sharp points. Jutting from his head was a pair of grey horns that stuck straight into the sky. The creature itself however was on its knees, bound by multiple chains and manacles laced with arcane runes and energy. The creature stirred and gazed up at Baen, his eyes were nothing more than twin balls of flaming white light, and his mouth was non-existent.
Malachi’s voice sent a chill through Baen’s very soul, “So. You are the one who has vexed my brothers and vanquished them.”
Baen felt his legs shake as the creature’s gaze bore into Baen’s eyes, “How unfortunate that you decided to come here,” Malachi’s voice lacked all emotion, “you do realize that this mission you undertake is futile. For, you have already failed.”
At that, Malachi shrugged, and the chains shattered like glass.
*
Twilight and the girls had long since arrived in Tartarus and were currently venturing forth in caution. The cavern like realm with its endless depth did not help to ease their nerves. Twilight looked around when they emerged into a large open area. Then a massive earthquake rattled the entire cavern. The girls yelled in surprise as they were tossed to and fro. Above ground, Canterlot felt a massive aftershock that cracked many buildings and compromised the supports of the castle itself. Twilight steeled herself and pushed on. The girls were adamant on finding their friend and bringing him home safely.
*
Baen backed up as Malachi cracked his neck and rotated his shoulders. The sound reminiscent of stones grinding against each other met Baen’s ears as Malachi gazed down at the pony. But it wasn’t in a manner as an enemy would gaze at another foe, but as a pony who was about to stomp on a roach.
Malachi looked around slowly, “You sought to come down here, to prevent my ascension back to the surface world. Foolishness barbarian, foolishness and naiveté. ”
Baen unsheathed his axe, “You will not pass monster.”
Malachi stared at the barbarian for a moment longer. Then the White Demon flicked its finger at the barbarian. Baen felt as if the air itself smashed into him, hurling him into a passing stone. Malachi then gripped the air, Baen having being suspended by some sort of invisible force. Malachi then opened his hand and smashed Baen back into the dirt that the White Demon stood upon. Baen groaned as Malachi still gazed down at him.
“Pathetic,” the demon’s voice was as unreadable as ever, “I would assume that the one who gave my brothers a challenge would grant me one as well. It seems I was mistaken.”
Baen tried to stand, but Malachi merely walked past him, “I see it only fit that one such as you remain here in my place,” as the White Demon continued forward, passing stones halted and began to create a walkway for Malachi.
Baen, just mustering his strength managed to stand and trigger his Wrath aura. Rushing the demon with all his might, he leapt straight for his enemy. Only for Malachi to turn midstep, grasp him in midair, and threw him hard skyward.
*
Twilight and the girls halted when they heard the screaming. Looking over, they saw a red comet streak from the black abyss below and smash into the roof of the prison cavern. Twilight immediately took flight and grasped the shape in her telekinesis. Baen groaned in pain as Twilight alighted upon the ground. The barbarian’s armor was damaged quite badly and he himself was covered in a few scrapes and bruises. Twilight gently shook him, rousing him back to reality.
“T…Twilight….,” his eyes snapped open as he stood up fully, “What are you doing here?! I specifically said.”
Twilight smacked him clean across the face, “YOU HAD ME WORRIED SICK!”
Baen rubbed his face as she pointed at him, “Coming into Tartarus? Really?! Do you have any idea what could happen to you down here!”
Baen looked to the side, but his ears perked up, “Twilight….”
Twilight shook her head, “Oh NO! You are gonna stand there and you are going to take this lecture like a stallion!”
The girls heard a distant ‘thoom’, and turned to Twilight.
“Um,” Applejack prodded her friend, “Twi, ah think we should…”
“In a moment AJ,” she turned to Baen, “They just released you from the hospital and what do you do? *THOOM!* You go gallivanting down into Equestria’s darkest realm on a personal crusade! *THOOM!* Did it occur to you that we might be able to,” she looked at the girls and Baen as they stared wide eyed at her, “What? I’m not that scary. I’ve done this before.”
Pinkie Pie pointed behind her.
Twilight slowly turned around and gasped as her eyes shrank.
Malachi was glaring down at them, “These are the defenders I have heard so much about,” he looked at each one of them in turn, “how underwhelming. You are merely children.”
Baen pushed Twilight away and hurled himself at Malachi, clearing the gap, Baen raised his axe. Malachi raised his hand and caught Baen in a death grip. The giant closed his hand around Baen, the barbarian crying out in a mixture of fear and agony. Malachi brought Baen up to his face.
“Now do you see the futility of your deed?” He turned Baen so he could stare at the girls, “Look at them barbarian. Do you see it? The fear of death, it has frozen them. They dare not lift a hoof to save you out of fear for themselves,” the beast chuckled, “this is what bonds grant. They are only so strong, but inevitably they prove worthless.”
Malachi started to tighten his hand, Baen cried out in pain as his armor grinded against his body. Malachi continued to squeeze, but then a bolt of lavender magic blasted the demon in the face. Malachi halted his squeezing and looked down at the angered mares.
“You wish to test your mettle against me,” without missing a beat, Malachi smashed Baen into the nearby rock face.
The girls cried out as Malachi, still holding the barbarian, leapt from the battlefield to a far off platform. Twilight looked at the girls who all nodded and started to pursue. Malachi then threw Baen hard into the ground, the pony sliding hard against it. The Demon surged forth and delivered a swift punch to the pony which guided Baen into more stone. Before Baen could take a breath, Malachi seized him in his telekinetic grasp and started to smash him into the roof, floor, spires, and walls. Baen just barely managed to engage his Wrath aura to protect him. Malachi robotically continued to smash the pony into the area, craters erupting everywhere. Soon, Baen’s Wrath aura gave out and he was finally smashed into the ground before Malachi. Malachi shook his head.
“You have chosen the path of despair pony,” Malachi gazed at the girls who froze in their tracks, "When I have dealt with you, I shall do away with them next, so that their screams may carry you to the next life."
Baen tried to stand, but Malachi raised his right hand. What Baen felt next was familiar to him. A white light engulfed him. Every nerve screamed bloody murder as his whole being burned with utter pain. Malachi stared unblinking as he lowered his hand. The girls stifled gasps of horror. Baen lay on his back in a scorched crater. His coat badly burned and covered in dirt and blood, his armor was on the brink of falling apart. And his eyes were glazed over as his breathing became weak.
“I see you still have some fight left in you,” Malachi bent down to gaze at Baen, “if that is the case. I shall ensure the last sounds you hear will indeed be their dying screams. Once I have given you despair, then I shall grant you a swift exit to the next world.”
Baen couldn’t speak; he could only watch as the great titan turned form him and advanced upon Twilight and the girls. Twilight however was more determined than ever.
“Alright girls,” she narrowed her eyes, “let’s get rainbowfied!”
Dash facehoofed, “Ugh, could we think of a better way of saying it?”
The girls stood as one as a massive aura of pure spectral light engulfed them. Their manes lengthened as their coats changed. Soon the girls stood before the White Demon, their Rainbow Powered forms shining brightly against the oncoming darkness. Malachi’s eyes flared brightly.
“Such light,” he raised his hand and sent the same white blast at them.
But the attack hit their collective barrier and deflected into the roof.
Malachi’s eyes flared dangerously, “I shall enjoy extinguishing it.”
The girls then went on the attack. Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie became streaks of pure magical light that plowed into the demon and ran circles around him. Twilight fired rainbow enhanced beams into Malachi’s face, forcing the demon to cover his face, while trying to protect himself from the other ponies attacking. Baen barely managed to turn his head as he watched the battle unfold before him.
‘How can they fight,’ he thought, ‘they know they’ll die….’
Baen stared at the roof, ‘Father….did I overlook something in your teachings?’
“It’s not about what you know, it’s about what you have yet to know.”
Baen looked to the side and stared up at a smiling Lucretcia, “Hm, I suppose this is where you call me a fool for going at this alone?”
“No, through each failure you learn Baen,” Lucretcia stroked his face.
Baen looked over to the battle raging and his eyes widened in horror. Malachi slammed his fists into the ground releasing a massive pulse which knocked the mares of kilter. Taking the moment, Malachi raised his hand and blasted them. Baen tried to scream, but no sound came. The blast subsided; the six mares were laying on the ground back to what they were. Their coats smoking and smudged, Baen tried to move but felt his muscles protest.
Lucretcia’s image wavered, “Baen you must think,” she placed her hoof on his cheek, “what do these ponies have that you don’t. What gives them their strength to fight back?”
Baen slowly stood as Lucretcia vanished.
Baen couldn’t understand what she meant. Even in death, all he ever got were riddles.
He shook his head, trying to think. As Malachi loomed over the girls, he started thinking on everything they had done for him, what they had done for others.
Then something clicked.
*
“Hey Baen…is everything alright?”
Baen glanced up, “Huh? Oh…it’s nothing. I was just…, thinking.”
“About what?” Shining asked with mild concern.
Baen inhaled shakily, “Shining….do you have a dream?”
Shining blinked for a moment, “Well of course! Everypony has a dream,” he smiled and looked into the embers with a happy expression, “My dream is to have a family with Cadance and raise our foal in a peaceful Equestria.”
Baen smiled warmly at Shining and nodded, but then they both heard something that caused them to draw their weapons at the door. However, both of them lowered their weapons and stared in disbelief. Twilight and the girls entered the cave, the stallions were not amused.
Shining advanced on them, “Twilight, what are you doing out here? I thought we told you to stay behind.”
Twilight nodded but shrugged as the girls trotted into the cave, “Well Cadance was worried about you,” she smiled at Baen who was staring at her evenly, “and I’d be lying if I said that wasn’t worried about the both of you.”
Shining shook his head but gave his sister a reassuring pat as he escorted her to the fire, “Well, I can’t say that I wasn’t worried about leaving you all at the Crystal Empire.”
Twilight smiled warmly as she joined the group at the fire, Rarity laying out a blanket before she sat, “So, what are we talking about?”
Baen looked to the side, “Oh…just dreams.”
Twilight’s eyes lit up, “Oh really?”
“Heh, I already have a dream,” Rainbow Dash laid back slightly, “I’m going to be the greatest Wonderbolt of all time.”
The girls just looked at her and she sighed, “Well…actually. When I was a young filly,” she scratched the back of her head awkwardly, “I always wanted to teach young Pegasus fillies to fly.”
Applejack smiled, “Wow Dash, that’s surprisingly modest of you.”
Rainbow Dash blushed lightly as she pointed a hoof at the smirking apple mare, “Don’t go spreading it around, I have an image to uphold you know!”
Applejack raised her hooves, “I ain’t sayin nothin.”
“Alright then AJ,” Rainbow nudged her, “What’s your dream?”
Applejack took her hat off and glanced at it lovingly, “To take care of the farm and keep it in the family,” some tears welled up in her eyes, “just like my ma and pa did.”
Everypony nodded in respect for the blonde mare’s dream.
Fluttershy raised a hoof, “Um…I have a dream if anypony wants to hear it.”
All eyes were on her as she shrunk slightly. Twilight however gave her a reassuring nod which boosted her courage slightly.
“Well, my dream is to open an animal shelter for lost and abandoned critters,” she smiled dreamily, “where they’ll be adopted into a nice home and cared for.”
Rainbow raised a hoof, “Uh…Flutters, you kind of already do that.”
Fluttershy blinked, “Oh you’re right…can I have a do over?”
Baen smiled, “Why? It’s good that you’ve achieved your dream Fluttershy.”
Fluttershy squeed as Pinkie cleared her throat.
“Well my dream is…”
Shining chuckled, “To make the whole world smile and have fun?”
Pinkie ran straight to him and stared into his eyes, “STOP READING MY MIND!”
Everypony laughed as Twilight cleared her throat.
“Well everypony,” Twilight smiled as she looked at everyone, “the only dream I have is to be a fair princess and to live a long and happy life with my loved ones,” she tilted her head and gazed into the calming flames, “and my friends.”
Everypony smiled, touched by the sentiment, until all eyes fell on Baen.
Twilight smiled warmly, “What about you Baen, do you have a dream?”
Baen’s smile dropped as he glanced to the side. The group tilted their heads in both concern and confusion at the barbarian’s reaction. The barbarian shuffled a little uneasily as he looked at them all.
“Honestly….,” Baen said quietly, “I don’t have one.”
*
Baen blinked in shock, he felt something in his heart, warmth. What was this?
*
Twilight led him back inside, “Trust me Baen, we’ll always be here for you, if you need us.”
*
Baen looked up at the girls. Malachi still looming, Baen narrowed his eyes, forcing his legs to move as he rushed to the cliff. He leapt across gaps and landed in front of the girls. Baen growled as he ripped off his chest armor.
“LEAVE THEM ALONE!”
Malachi halted, “You are a stubborn one aren’t you?”
Baen growled in response, “I will not let you harm them.”
Malachi laughed, “Why do you stand with them? Because they are your friends?”
“They are more than that,” Baen looked at the girls as they opened their eyes and gazed at him, “They…..they are my family!”
The girl’s eyes widened as Baen stood tall, “They have dreams, friends, family, and so too does everypony they know,” he slammed his hoof into the ground, “When I was unfrozen, all they tried to do was treat me with kindness and I shunned them. But I realized that in a way,” he helped Twilight to her hooves as the girls joined her, “they are the only thing close to a family I have. The reason they fight is not only to protect each other, but all other ponies that live and breathe.”
He set himself, “Which is why on this day I make this vow.”
Malachi glared at him.
“I am Baen, barbarian of the eastern tribe of the Glide Fjord,” he unsheathed his axe, “I have found the magic of friendship. I have witnessed it’s power and what it has done for this kingdom. Which is why I will not allow their dreams, their families, their loved ones, and anypony to be harmed,” Baen then yelled while beating his bare chest, “MY DREAM IS THAT I WILL PROTECT EVERYPONY IN EQUESTRIA UNTIL I DRAW MY LAST BREATH!”
In that moment, Twilight saw it. Something shined in Baen’s eyes. Then a bright sparkle appeared on his flank. The girls smiled in excitement. Upon Baen’s flanks was rose red rune. Baen’s body gave of a glow as his Wrath aura ignited anew, brighter and a deeper red than it had ever been before. Grasping his axe in his jaws, his wounds vanished in plumes of steam.
He looked at Twilight who nodded with a smile, “Go.”
Baen nodded back as he barreled into Malachi with a smirk.
Malachi roared, taken off guard by the attack. He tried to take swipes at the barbarian, but Baen danced around each blow and cut hard, taking of four fingers of the creature’s right hand. Malachi howled in agony as Baen continued to plow into him with the force of a falling star. Malachi could only try in vain to blast, or grasp at the red comet of a pony.
Malachi was forced to the edge of the prison, “THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE! WHERE DID YOU GET THIS POWER FROM!?”
Baen raised his axe as his Wrath aura shot into the weapon. His irises like glowing rubies.
“My power is my own,” it was then that the Wrath aura formed an astral version of Baen’s axe that was jumbo sized, “but I didn’t gain it alone.”
Malachi started to raise his arms to incinerate the pony.
Baen then roared, “FADE OUT OF EXISTENCE DEMON!”
Baen swung, his axe cleaved straight through Malachi’s midsection and left arm. The bisected demon could only roar as both halves fell backwards into the abyss. Baen landed as his aura faded, Malachi’s roars fading as he fell. Baen turned to the girls.
“It is done.”
Before the ponies could embrace, a massive explosion erupted behind Baen. A white surge of energy started to billow toward them.
Pinkie then yelled, “CHEESE IT!”
All the ponies then bolted. Their muscles burning as debris fell around them; Baen looked at the girls and could clearly see that they were falling. Looking back he girt his teeth.
*
Shining looked through the gates as an earthshattering rumble rocked the ground.
Coco came to his side, “Do you see them?”
Shining shook his head, “Not yet!”
Luna then widened her eyes, “I sense something sister.”
Celestia nodded to the guards on either side of the doors as they saw white fire like energy surging toward them.
Vinyl pointed, “LOOK! THERE THEY ARE!”
Everypony looked inside and saw something surprising. Baen was rushing up to the gates….with the elements of harmony on his back. He leapt through the gates which were promptly shut. The seven ponies hit the ground and rolled. The princesses gently helped them up as everypony stood aside to give them some air.
Baen coughed, “D…Did we win?”
Twilight looked at the gates, “I think we did……”
The ponies looked at each other, and then they broke out into a fit of happy laughter. Happy and relieved tears falling from their eyes as they embraced, but then the sound of a clearing throat stopped their rejoicing.
“Baen,” Celestia pointed to his flank, “I believe you have something.”
Baen blinked then looked at his flank.
“YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!”
Baen was practically doing cartwheels around the area, “I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!”
Twilight stopped him, “Hold on a second. What does it even mean?”
Baen glanced at the rune, “It’s in my tribes language,” he blinked in surprise, “it means…..Brave or Hero depending on how you write it out.”
Coco tackled him and shook him hard, “DON’T YOU EVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN!!!!”
Baen raised his hooves to steady her, and then planted a hard and passionate kiss which reduced the mare to a giggling mess.
Baen smirked, “I still got it.”
Shining smiled at his friend as he stood, hugging him, “Thank you for saving her.”
“No,” he looked at Twilight and hugged her against his barrel, “I need to thank her.”
Twilight looked up at him, “What for?”
Baen smiled warmly as the sun started to set, “For saving me.”

i lik your story very much man and also since your story reminds me so much of this song here it is
no it is ending but, yes he earned his mark and has probably made a mark on history
Good way for Ben to get his cutie mark and the kiss scene was funny.
Awesome fight scene. Also great job with Baen getting his cutiemark. Great job. I can't wait to read the last chapter here, then I can't wait to read the sequel or the sunset Love story. This is going to be great. Thanks for this story.
I feel like that fight scene was WAY too short for it to be the finisher. Sorry but I feel like you can do way better than this.

Well, I guess it's time for recovery and then a party.
...at least until somepony else is Freed...
Also, Incoming Coco chapter.
That rhyme.
the fights with the demon were a let down.
