Reunion

Flash Magnus; Equestrian Legionary, Pillar of Equestria, Royal Guard Captain. Even with all of these titles and all his experience he found himself in a situation he was unsure what to do in. The same could be said of all the Pillars. Bakugo Katsuki, a person that none of them had ever expected to see again, had turned up when he was thought to be dead.

But the same could be said for them as well. Everyone had thought that they died to an unknown foe.

So now he, the rest of the Pillars, Princess Celestia, Princess Cadence, and all but one of the Elements sat in the castles war room discussing the attack. But he was unable to focus. The young man, barely out of his childhood last he saw him, was fully grown and still alive thousands of years.

He had joined Twilight when she started pulling Bakugo's public records expecting him to be a descendant, but what he saw was inconclusive. Bakugo had a house in a small and underdeveloped town of Appleloosa. The town has been around for about fifty years and Bakugo was one of the original residence but he hadn't been seen in the town for nearly a decade. His occupation was marked as a Mercenary, but very few of his jobs had official records on them.

It just wasn't possible for Bakugo Katsuki to still be alive, unless...

Unless he ascended. That is unlikely, but there is an explanation that might make more sense. Bakugo had always been a unique being. When the Pillars had first met him he was Unbound and yet still capable of... something. It wasn't magic per say, even if Starswirl said otherwise, but it was still something that an Unbound shouldn't have been capable of.

It wasn't until nearly a year later, and repeated lectures from Starswirl, that Bakugo had started to show progress with real magic and the beginning developments of a Lymbotic system. The explosions he caused gaining some arcane properties but not much else.

That is until a month later when there was a massive change and Bakugo had disappeared to an unknown place and time. The witnesses of this event described it as some kind of portal appearing and sucking him in faster than anyone was capable of reacting to.

Search party's were sent out to look for the boy, but none of them turned up anything. And a month after he disappeared he reappeared in the same fashion. A study from Starswirl and several other scholars showed that no more than three days could have passed for him.

Such disappearances became common place for him, disappearing and reappearing at random time intervals. Sometimes being gone for months and sometimes reappearing seconds after with others. And yet the time he was gone never added up with how much time had passed for him. A side affect of this being his Lymbotic system developing an impressive rate, but also causing his mana pool to be highly unstable.

A year before the Equestrian Civil War, a war that was lost to history, another similar being was found by the pillars. In terms of random appearance and disappearance that is. This creature was quite unusual, having the appearance of a true dragon from tales spread by the Drakon.

It was from this creature and Bakugo that Starswirl was capable discovering several things. His time magic, the mirror portals, and the discovery of a magic disease that he called Malchronomorbus. A disease that messed with ones placement in time.

"What do you think, Flash?"

"Huh? Oh, uh, sorry. I lost focus for a moment. What were we talking about?" Flash asked.

"Flash, I understand your distraction. But we must focus no-" Starswirl spoke with irritation written across his face, but was unable to finish as a faint boom ever so slightly shook the castle.

Silence reigned in the room til another boom rang in the distance. "Where are Luna and Twilight?" Somnambula asked.

"Twilight was pulling the public records on Bakugo and Aunty Luna said something about using her dream magic to learn more about Tempest and Bakugo." Cadence explained, only for all of the Pillars to swiftly stand with looks of worry across their faces. The Pillars cast glances to each other before rushing out of the room, the Elements and Princesses following shortly after.


Twilight pulled her eyes away from her research as a noise caught her attention, the noise had been getting louder and closer for the last five minuets or so but had now reached the point of distracting. Focusing on the sound solidly identified it as yelling and... explosions? She rose from her seat and headed for the door, but was forced to throw up a shield as the wall next to the door exploded into the room and something- no- someone impacted the opposite wall.

Twilight turned to see Princess Luna pulling herself out of the rubble, her clothing showed signs of combat but Luna herself appeared more shaken then anything else. The crunch of broken brick and mortar brought Twilight's attention back to the hole blown in the wall.

"YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN ROOT AROUND IN MY HEAD, MEINU!?!" Yelled the man that Twilight had been in the process of researching. "AIN'T NO ONE ALLOWED IN MY HEAD 'CEPT ME! NOT EVEN FAUSUTO IS LET IN MY HEAD OROKANA FAKKU!!"

Bakugo leaned forward into the same charging position as when he fought Tempest bet before he could charge he was grabbed from behind in a bear hug and lifted into the air. "Bakugo my boy, calm yourself." The familiar voice of Rock Hoof was heard as he lifted Bakugo off the ground.

Twilight expected thrashing and curses to spew from the mouth of the mercenary, but instead he seemed to freeze and a look of shock overtook his face. Rock placed Bakugo back on the ground where he turned to see Rock Hoof and the rest of the Pillars of Equestria standing in the hall behind him.

"W-what are..." Bakugo started to speak but seemed unable to find his voice.

"It's been a long time Sir Kishi Bakugo." Starswirl said as he stepped forward.

This seemed to knock Bakugo out of his stunned state as he took a step forward, punched Starswirl and began to rant in a language that only Flash and Somnambula seemed to understand. "Ittai dō shita no! ? Anata wa yukue fumeideshita anata wa orokana fakku! Watashitachiha chīmudearu koto ni natte ita, ASSHOLES!"

Author's Note:

Everyone thank thedarkalicorn for giving me the kick in the ass needed to get back to writing this. :twilightblush:

Also I used google translate for the Japanese in the chapter, so if you know the language or use a translator and something seems funky it is not my fault.
