	It's time. What time is it? For the convention, of course! Hello my name is Wilby Hinojosa and I'm heading to the convention with my best friends, Ethan and Baylee. This is actually our first time going to a convention, so we decided to make it memorable. How you may or may not ask, we all decided to cosplay.

Ethan decided to cosplay as the hunter from Monster Hunter, wearing barroth armor, but he couldn't get a barroth switch axe because, two things. One, it was much too big to go anywhere and two, where on Earth would he get such a monstrosity, pun totally intended. Pun aside, he's probably the one who put the least amount of effort, all he really needed was the armor and viola.

Baylee cosplayed as one of her favorite characters, Weiss from RWBY. She took the next step, as in got colored contacts and dyed her hair, also the clothing to boot as well. She was already pretty pale so she didn't have to worry about that. All she was missing was her rapier, sadly.

As for me, I went up and beyond. I didn't technically cosplay but I did look pretty badass. I dyed my hair jet black and gotten two different color contacts, the right one red and the left one yellow. For what I'm wearing now, sit tight it's sort of a doozy (and by doozy I mean it's sort of a mixture of cothing from several characters). It somewhat resembles Zack Fair's clothing, but minus the pauldrons, it's also sporting a black waist cape with a red outline sort of like Vanitas', my right arm is fully sleeved with a black fingerless glove, while my left arm is sleeveless but has an armguard covered in black feathers along with a fully black glove, I also have a long black scarf to top it all off. Hopefully this gave you some idea what I look like.

Also, since it is a character of my own design, I might as well say what my character can also do. First off I am master in dark magic or what I prefer, shadow magic. As a master I have recreated the basic spells such as fire, ice, thunder, etc., except they are a dark version, for example thunder is black thunder, fire is shadow fire, and ice is dark ice. But there's also the actual shadow magic, I can manipulate shadows to do basically do anything with the only limitation being my mind. I can also use the shadows to heal all manner of wounds (will go into further detail later on).

I can also use magic on myself to turn me into a shadow beast. I basically just absorb shadows all around me and I transform into a extremely powerful monster. Downside is I don't have much control.

That's just magic, now we get to talk about my strengths. Being born from the shadows, literally, gives significant boost to my natural abilities (which will go into further detail later on as well).

There's a reason why my eyes are different as well. The right eye or red one, allows me to see things that aren't normally seen. While the left eye or yellow one is much more special, it allows me to copy pretty much any fighting style, but I must have seen it.

As for my kryptonite, which is pretty basic. I am weak to light magic, of course, since I am a being born from darkness, but I am also vulnerable to extreme levels of temperatures.

Finally my weapons, five throwing knifes on my right side of my waist. A very special sword on my left side of my waist. How special is this sword? The entire sword itself resembled the HF muramasa blade from Metal Gear and has the design of the maxed out sora katana from Red Steel 2 but it's color design is black obsidian. What makes it special however is that it can change into all sorts of different blades. Basically it is a katana that can morph into a chain blade, a broad sword, dual blades, a short/long sword, and ect..

That is basically my character right there, has it's strengths and weaknesses. Of course just like my friends, I couldn't get my sword. But not having our last piece won't stop our fun.

Now that we've gotten all that out of the way, let us move onto the convention.




We had just arrived at the convention and already we were pretty excited. Lots of people were asking us for photos and plenty were asking about who I was cosplaying as, I gave them answers such as "It's my own design" or "Something I made up." People were pretty impressed to say the least.

After a while we all decided to go buy some stuff, because why not. We found a stand with this really cool merchant from Resident Evil, so we decided to try out this place first.

"Greetings valiant hunter, fabulous Weiss, and uh... who might you be young traveler?" The merchant attempt to greet.

I smirked, "I am Wilby, last of the shadow warriors!" I said with much enthusiasm.

"Then greetings to you shadow warrior." He finally finished. "See anything that catches your eyes young travelers?"

What we found was very surprising. Ethan managed to find an assault axe, while Baylee found the myrtenaster, and I found a sheath similar to Jetstream Sam but the sword was black with the red markings of the sora katana. To say i was surprised would be an understatement.

"Ah, I see theses weapons caught your eyes. If you wish to purchase them, the axe is $200, the katana is $150, and the rapier is $125" The merchant has informed us.

My brain was displaying all sorts of warning signs, but I didn't pay attention. I mean what is it gonna do, send me into a completely different world? If it did, I'll totally laugh my ass off, in all honesty. I mean, they were all at reasonable prices and I know the axe would be a problem for Ethan, but I didn't say anything... what? I didn't want him to walk out of here without paying for damn thing, plus it would be hilarious to watch him dragging it around.

So we all paid for items respectively and walked out with our brand new toys.

Then that's when it happened, Baylee fell to the floor but she disappeared before she hit it, then it happen to Ethan. I was starting to wonder what was put into that burger. Then all of a sudden these black tendrils surround me, grabbing hold of me. My first thoughts when this started to happen was 'Oh no, I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going.' Those would be my thoughts if I was insane, instead I reacted immediately to it by screaming. I was slowly being pulled into the ground but I saw the merchant from earlier and reach out my hand to him. All he did was wave to me... I was distraught, why wouldn't he help me. Slowly but surely I was pulled in, my arm being the last thing to disappear.




Here I am... just floating in darkness. Going through agonizing pain, this... nothingness just flowing into me, destroying my body slowly, but at the same time, rebuilding it. It was strange but, all I wanted now was to drift into unconsciousness. Luckily I've gotten want I wanted... I would say everything went black, but that would be a little redundant seeing everything was black.

Unknowingly to me however, I was heading to some sort of light.
> Ch.1 - Dude, I'm Totally 'Stoned'
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	I slowly regained conscious, but when I open my eyes I was greeted by a bright light. I quickly closed my eyes and put a hand in front of my face. This time I decided to sit up and let my eyes adjust. When doing so I notice that I'm in a forest, a dense one at that. Once my eyes are adjusted I stand up and check my body over, nothing seems to be out of place, but I feel different, stronger in fact.

I disregard that when I start to hear some growling behind me. I quickly turn around to see several pairs of yellow glowing eyes. I automatically start to back up for my safety, and that's when they decide to move forward.

Now that they are in the light, I can now see that they are wolves made of woo- 'Oh my god, those are timberwolves' I then connected the dots.

They keep their steady approach towards me growling menacingly, ready to pounce any moment. Then all of a sudden I burst out laughing causing the timberwolves to look at me with confusion. I was serious when I said I'll laugh my ass off if I've been transported to a different world.

"Heheh- sorry, sorry! Right, timberwolves now... I'm fucked." I said as I backed up into a tree.

They continued their slow trek towards me, making it painfully slow. I thought it was all over, until I heard something deep inside me, a voice.

burn them

To say I was confused was an understatement. Then finally a timberwolf attempted to pounce me. I immediately shut my eyes and raised my left hand to shield me from the attack.

Instead of having my arm torn off, I heard a 'fwoosh' and then whimpering came afterwards. I open my eyes to that the timberwolf is on fire, but it wasn't just any ordinary fire, no, it was dark fire. Next thing I notice is that my hand had the same fire, though it didn't hurt.

I smirked triumphantly and managed to light both of my hands on fire. It was so strange that it felt so natural, like if I knew how to this all along.

The timberwolves then decided to all attack at once. My smirk just grew as I just lit them all on fire at once. Their whimpers soon died out when they quickly became ash.

I look back out my hands and had the simple thought of extinguishing them and viola, no more fire. With nothing having the intent to kill me now I sat down and gave some thought at the situation at hand.

'So I'm in equestria, unless there's another world with freakin' tree wolves out there. I have the powers of my character as well. I also hear voices in my head giving me advice. So that's neat... I wonder where I am in the timeline'

Then it hit me. "I have the powers of my character!" I look to where my sword should be and see the ever so epic gun sheath. "Sweet~." I then pull out the sword itself and immediately admire how the black blade shines and the eerie red markings on it. "Double sweet~."

masamune, the shape shifting demon sword

"There's that stupid voice again! Am I going crazy?" Getting slightly irritated

no

"Okay." I stupidly agree.

Whith that out of the way I put the blade back into its awesome gun sheath 'I can't wait to try this out!' I set out to do something much more important, food and shelter. I set out deeper into the forest to get the much needed necessities. 'Maybe I can find ponyville!




"Okay, I'll admit it, I'm not the best at foraging." I said to no one in particular.

I've been trying to find something to eat that's safe anyways. I'm not sure if I should trust these berries, I don't know if they're exactly safe to eat. I was however secretly hoping I'll find a manticore to cook.

duck

I oblige without questioning it.

Right as I had duck, a beam of light shot over me. Instincts then takes over as I quickly stand back up and turn around with my left hand on the trigger of the sheath and my right hand getting ready, confident that I can take on the bastard who tried to blast me.

I then saw who attcked me and I quickly lost confidence. There standing was no other than Princess Celestia AND Princess Luna, not only that but they were anthro, both of them wearing armor and weilding weapons. Celestia was in golden armor, weilding a golden spear that has a heavenly glow to it. Luna on the other hand is wearing a dark blue armor, weilding a black double edge sword with an dark mist coming from it.

dodge the light bearer at all cost

'Noted.' Giving me the ever so helpful advice.

let the dark magic hit you

'Uh, okay, I guess.' I question my sanity.

"Who and what art thou?" I mentally squee from hearing Luna talk.

"Um, my name is Wilby, Wilby Hinojosa." I did a little bow as well, just for the hell of it.

"And what might thou be?" Hearing Celestia speak olden must point that this is before Luna turned.

"I am a hu-..." Am I a human now? I began to smirk "I am one born of shadows, in fact, I am the last shadow warrior." I say as I take a more relaxing stance.

keep your guard up 

I decided to ignore that piece of advice, I don't want to look like an enemy.

"Thou are evil, then?" Luna questions.

'Oh no, I see where this is going.' I put my hands up.

"Whoa whoa whoa, I'm not evil"

"LIES" I flinch at how loud Celestia was. Before I even recovered, she came out me at full force.

OPTIONAL MUSIC

Instincts took over and I quickly dodged to my left. Right after I dodged I pull out my sword and deflected Luna's attack. She seemed surprise but I didn't stop, I quickly kicked her away.

'Why did I do that? How did I do that?

"Sorry!" I automatically said.

Celestia shot another magic blast at me which I put my sword up to block. Surprisingly it did block, in fact the sword is now glowing.

you can absorb magic and send it back double the strength with your blade

'Maybe I should take it's advice.'

I then swung my sword towards her and a beam similar to hers fired back, but bigger. Celestia didn't have enough time to process it and got knock back into a tree.

"Um hehe, sorry." I'm pretty sure they are silencing me out.

Luna ran to her sisters side and aided her. When Celestia got back to her... feet? Hooves. Anyways when she got back to her hooves she and Luna shared a quick glance and nodded. Then all of sudden they both came at me, at the same time.

I quickly reacted and started dodging and deflecting both of their strikes to the best of my ability. Then all of a sudden, two shadows came out of the ground and stop their assault. We all looked suprise, but I took the initiative and sticked out my left hand to have some sort of shockwave come out, pushing the sisters backwards to the ground. They get back up and they start glaring at me. Luckily for me looks did not kill.

STOP MUSIC

Luna then flew in a semicircle to get behind me. My gaze followed her, instinct telling me to sheath my sword and rest my hand on the trigger. Right when she stopped, I immediately turn back around to see Celestia charging me with a smug face. But I didn't let her have her way, I knew they were gonna attack me from both sides.

Time slowed down. Waiting for the perfect time. Then her spear was right where I wanted it to be. I pulled the trigger. My sword shot out and cut straight through her spear. I didn't stop however to see her expression, instead I continued and saw Luna's sword just about to reach me. Of course, I cut cleanly through that as well. I managed to avoid the body parts thankfully.

Both were sent back from the from my momentum, looks of suprise on their faces... muzzles. Celestia went towards her sister when she recovered.

"Can we stop the pointless battle now." I spoke out, now that they're weaponless.

They shared another brief glance and nodded, they look back towards me. Then all of sudden the elements appear and start circling them. They were charging it, which gave me some time to myself.

stop them

'Nah, I'll let them do it, I want to be in the correct time.' I decided to let them hit me with the magical rainbow beam of doom, I mean I'll be stoned for 1000 years but I'm pretty sure it'll be worth it.

I then sheath my sword, rest my left hand on the handle of the blade and let my right hand hang near my waist, and last but not least, a simple smile.

'I'm ready for my sculpture.'

They then fired it at me and my everything became as hard as a rock.

'Now we play the waiting game. And I can also say I've been stoned once.'
> Ch.2 - The Void That Fills My Mind
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	'This sucks.' I thought after being stoned for six whole minutes.

'Celly and Lulu left me here alone, as well. They're so irresponsible.' Celestia and Luna had left me here, so now I have nothing to appreciate but the bland tree and rock.

'I dub thee tree, Treexie, and I dub thee rock, Mr. Rockington!' I didn't expect to go cazy after 10 minutes.

After what seemed to be forever, I heard something coming... too bad I couldn't see it. It soon got louder and I assumed the princesses sent out guards to retrieve me. Why I assumed this is because they made it painfully obvious. I was soon able to hear them clearly now.

"ALRIGHT MAGGOTS, THE PRINCESSES TOLD US TO RETRIEVE THIS STATUE AND RELOCATE IT UNDER THE CASTLE TO SECURE, ANY QUESTIONS!" Yelled one of them, who sounded very familiar.

"Um, yes, why are we-"

"BUCK! YOU! MAGGOT!" Oh... my... god... please let that be Spaz.

"I just had a question, Captain Spaz!" This just got much more interesting!

"I SAID DID YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I DIDN'T SAY YOU CAN VOICE THEM!" Sergeant Spaz and Captain Spaz would get along well, I think.

"..." He learned well.

"NOW ANY QUESTIONS!" No one had the balls. "GOOD, NOW LETS GET THIS BUCKING STATUE IN THE BUCKING CASTLE!" Meh, I'm not mad that he talked to me that way, he's motherfucking Captain Spaz.

'Wait relocate...' *mental gasp* 'TREEXIE! MR. ROCKINGTON! NOOOOOOOO!'

I was then teleported into what looks like a dungeon.

'I'll never forget you Treexie and Mr. Rockington.' I soon forgot them through sheer boredom.




1 year later

'672,548,826,192 somethings on the wall, 258,602 somethings on the wall, take one down pass it around, -562,082,601 somethings on the wall!' I gave up singing it the correct way. Besides, I find this all too amusing.




Another year later

'And I say hey! Yeah yeah yeah yeah hey yeah yeah I said hey' If you couldn't tell, I'm getting desperate.




One more year later

'I don't give a shit, I don't give a fuck, I don't give a shit, I don't give a fuck, though if I give a shit, I might just give a fuck, but I don't give a shit, so I don't give a-'

CRASH

'What was that?!'

I could clearly hear a battle going on upstairs, which sounds intense. For some reason I could feel something, not physically but- I'm not sure how to explain but it's there and it feels dark. Then it hit me... um, the thought, not the small rubble.

'Seems like Luna just turned into Nightmare Moon.' I was pretty sure I was correct about this mostly because I can't think of anyone else who attacked the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters.

After a while I assumed it had ended. Celestia has sent Nightmare to the moon...

'Looks like I have a 1000 years left...'

why don't you train in your inner mind

'Oh goodie! You're back... why didn't you tell me this sooner?!' I was sort of pissed that it FINALLY decided to give me this helpful piece of advice.

'Wait... how do I enter my inner mind.'

just focus, you'll know once you're there, you have plenty of time

'Oh haha... focus huh.' I began my suppose to be tedious task. Why I say 'suppose to be' you may ask? Well I already know that I must empty my head, that's a given.




After six days... SHUT UP! It was hard... anyways. After six days, I finally enter my inner mind which is... pretty empty.

"It's empty because neither of us has gave it a form." An all to familiar voice has informed me.

I turn around to finally see who it is that has been giving me all this advice, only to find myself, but... but looks more serious.

"So... who are you exactly?" I question myself who isn't myself but is myself to some extent meaning it has to be myself and at the same time is myself. I hope I confused you, if not, I'll get you later.

"I am you, created from nothingness" He answers, showing no emotion at all... strange.

"Nothingness?" Now we're heading to some deep shit.

"When you were being transported here, didn't you feel immense pain?" That question alone brings up the pain I felt.

"Please don't remind me. It felt like I was being taken apart." I hope I never have to go through that again.

"You were also being rebuilt." I gave him a quizzical look, hinting him to continue. "While your body was being torn apart it was quickly filled up by nothingness. Because of this you have a connection to the void."

"What does that mean exactly?" I was very curious now. Being connected to the void? Made of nothingness? "Does this mean I don't exist now, being made out of nothingness?"

"To answer your second question, yes, you exist but at the same time you don't." Now that's confusing. "As for the first, it means you can pull power from the void making a realm of possibilities."

"So... I have infinite power?" He looked at me... and I couldn't tell if he was thinking or trying to give me a deadpan look. He shook his head thankfully.

"You can 'borrow' power from the void but it will return once you no longer need it. Though you may only tap into this power when you are on the brink of death." I understood what he was saying and then I decided I've gotten enough information.

"Alright, I got it. Now then you said I could train in here right?" I was ready to master this power.

"First off, we will begin by scanning fights we have seen in your human life." 

"What? Why? I thought we will begin training not sit down and watch."

"Your copy cat eye" He pointed to his left eye. "You'll be copying fighting styles you have seen."

"Oh... sweet!" I get to do awesome stuff like in video games now!

"But be warned, when you choose someone to copy, we will be in their world but we won't be able to do anything, but watch. Doesn't sound bad? Well when we are in their world, the void will begin picking out a villian for you to fight, but it will take time to make." A villian for me to fight... thats something.

"Wait why does the void do that?" I thought being made from it will make us bros.

"You see, there are many others like you with different powers, hero or villian." That was a surprise. Others like me. "They are misplaced or what others like you call it, displaced. Because of this the void wants to destroy them by sending their respective opponents to defeat them. But the void really wants to destroy you for being made from it."

"Alright I get it." Then it occured to me. "Wait! Does that mean my friends are out there?!" I hope so, I would love to see my best friends again.

"Yes, they are indeed displaced like you."

"How do I contact them?" I was so happy to hear that my friends are out there too.

"With what the displace call a token, it is something that represents you and holds a message of whatever you want it to say. You can make one right now, but no one will get it until you have escaped your stone prison."

'Hm, make my own token... what would represent me.' Just like that I've gotten an idea.

I then put out my tight hand in front of me and started concentrating. I smirked triumphantly when I felt it appear. What appeared was a keychain shaped like a black diamond. Next step was to make a message. Call upon me and I'll make your foe fear their own shadow... unless you want to hang.

"Alright I finished, what now?" He put his hand out so I gave him the token.

"Like I said no one will obtain it until you have escape our stone prison. Once you are out I will send it to the others and you'll most likely gain some tokens too."

"So then, who am I copying first?"

Right as I said that the terrain began to change into some sort of wasteland. I then heard a voice that made me froze.

"Fancy meeting you here." Than another voice spoke.

"You knew I'd come." This just got very interesting.

"Raiden and Jetsream Sam... this is gonna be awesome." I said as they continue there little conversation.




1000 years later

My meditation was interrupted by the sound of someone, no... somepony teleporting into my chamber.

"Hm so this is the dark being that defeated both princesses? He should prove to be very useful." I didn't bother to look, I already knew it was Nightmare Moon. "I know you can hear me. Just so you know I'm here to let you out of your stone prison. In return I expect you to be 100% loyal to me."

'Hmph she thinks she can place a leash on me, how cute. I already know the outcome. So I mind as well have a little fun.

I can feel her pumping magic into the stone prison and soon I start to hear cracks.

'Heheh, she'll be in for a suprise when I decide to backstab her.'
> Ch.3 - A Nightmarish Truce
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	More and more cracks appeared on my prison as Nightmare pumped even more magic into my stone prison. Soon enough, all the stone has fallen off of me.

"AAAAAAA- feels good to be free!" I said while stretching of those 1003 years off.

I hear Nightmare chucklling a little bit, "Yes and you have me to thank for that." Well doesn't she seem proud? I wonder what her reaction will be when I backstab her.

Also before I get too far, Nightmare Moon is a bit taller than me and is wearing black armor.

I put on a smile, "Why thank you, Nightmare Moon."

She raises an eyebrow, "How do you know who I am?"

My smile widens, "Oh, I have sources that are never wrong."

She shrugs it off, guess she lost interest. What she does next puts me on edge. She's gives me bedroom eyes. "No matter, but why don't you prove your loyalty and please me." As she says that, she's walking towards me.

I start walking backwards, "Um, what do you mean?" Sweat slowly forming.

"I've been on the moon for a 1000 years and hands can only do so much, I need this." Her armor turns into a black mist, now she's only wearing her panties and bra which is also black.... surprise, surprise. Though I must say... DAAAAMMMMNNNN!

'Ugh, save Equestria or get ass. Equestria or ass. Tough decision... I'm gonna hate myself' I'm not backed up into a wall.

"What about the elements?" Hopefully she'll bite... NOT IN THAT SENSE!

"What about the elements? Celestia is disconnected from them. There is nothing to worry about." Now she's gliding her hands over me.

"What about the element bearers?" Last shot, if she doesn't go for it... then at least I'll enjoy myself and said I tried.

"WHAT? NEW ELEMENT BEARERS?" As she grabs my head with hands and makes me look into her eyes. "Are you absolutely sure? How do you know about this?!"

"Yes, there are six ponies destined to wield the elements. As for your second question, I have amazing sources." That was a close one.

She lets me go, "Hmm, where are these element bearers located?" She puts her armor back on via mist.

"All six ponies are located in Ponyville." I then decided to put some extra information in, "Celestia is going to inform them of your existence. Unless... she is somehow not at ponyville."

"So then, we capture her and lock her up in this abandon castle?" Am I her 'royal' adviser now? As long as I can get her to do what she has to do.

"Wouldn't you like to capture Celestia by yourself? This will prove that you are better than her and you can take all the credit for yourself." She seems to like this idea. "Then once you have her imprisoned, you can announce to the ponies in Ponyville of their new queen."

"Yes. Yes! YES! This is such a brilliant idea!"

"It's a good thing you came up with this, my queen." Her expression says it all... I'm playing her beautifully and she doesn't even know.

She chuckles, "Yes, it's a good thing I came up with it. Come minion let us setup my masterful plan." This is all too good.




After we had prepared, Nightmare Moon went off to capture Celestia leaving me time.

"Hey Yami?" For those who don't know Yami, it's my alter ego that was made from the void. After eight years I FINALLY decided to give him a name.

'Yes, what is it?'

"Did you send off my token?" He did say he'll send once I wasn't imprisoned anymore.

'Yes, I had send it to others, though you haven't obtain any tokens yet.'

"Alright, guess that's okay. I'm bound to get a token one day." At that moment I heard something be teleported in.

"Welp, guess Celestia been caught. I'm gonna go explain my plan to her." I begin walking towards the prison that we had setup for her.

I opened the door to see Celestia on the floor with tears. As for what she was wearing, it was a white toga, that hugged her tightly leaving little to the imagination, it also revealed her cutiemark.

Though when she sees me, she immediately gets angry. "How did you escape?" Well then, this is a step up from before.

"Nightmare Moon thought she can place a leash around me. I decided to play it off until Twilight and her friends get here. Watch as the elements free Luna, then come out to congratulate you. That about sums it up." She looked surprised but her look of anger came back.

"Why would you help? You're evil, why should you care?" Ouch.

"What points to me being evil?" She didn't answer. "As for your second question, I care for the element bearers and Luna's saftey." She chose to give me the silent treatment.

*Sigh* "Look, believe what you want to believe." I then walk over to the door, continuing what I have to say. "I believe that I can do good." Right before I left the room, I pulled out the key to her locks and tossed it towards her. "Whoops... hopefully Celestia doesn't figure out that the key can be used to unlock her locks." She looks at me and the key with the most surpised look I have ever seen. "Hopefully she doesn't play along with what I have planned."

I then open the door and hear Celestia faintly say "Thank you." I couldn't help but smile knowing that I proven myself to her.




I stayed in the castle making sure that I couldn't be seen from where I was. I would've gone out to make sure the main 6 was alright but this was thier 'trials'. I would not intervene, I'll only come out to congratulate them when Luna is freed... which would be happening soon. I could hear Nightmare Moon's obnoxious laughter.

I went to the room with Twilight, Nightmare Moon and five of the elements. I didn't bother listening to their conversation and just observed.

Twilight began charhing at Nightmare Moon with her horn lit, while Nightmare did the same. Of course, Twilight teleported to where the elements where, but what happen next surprised me. Nightmare summoned a pure black spear and threw it at Twilight.

Fear caused her from moving out of the way, so I acted fast. In a moment I appeared from my hidng spot and caught the spear before it impaled Twilight.

"MINION! What are you doing?!" I could ask her the same.

"Sorry, but this caught me by surprise. I didn't know you would do this and because of this, things have changed. Now I'll have to defeat you."

"First you betray me then you claim you'll defeat me... you are just full of surprises. I must admit you did fool me, but you can't fool me twice." She grins as she says that. "I freed you from your stone imprisonment, I'm stronger than Celestia! I will be the one killing you!" The spear I caught formed into a mist and went back to her hand and reformed into a spear again.

The rest of the main 6 and Celestia (which I assumed met up with them and explained what happened) came into the room but I ignore them for now. "You think you can kill me? Well then, you better be able to back those words up."

OPTIONAL MUSIC

I immediately run towards her to which she thrusts her spear at me, but I slid under and immediately got back up and aimed a kick towards her back, knocking her away. She turns around and comes at me at full speed to which I jumped over her and kick her away in mid air. While she was getting up I come at her again and grab her head to which I slam her head into the ground at full force making the floor crack. Before she even has a chance to do anything I kick her away again. She finally gets up and proceeds to shoot magic at me which did nothing.

"H-how did that not work!?"

"Dark magic doesn't effect me." I again run at her, to which she waits to strike this time. Right as I got nearby she tries to skewer me but I quickly dodge to my right and turn around and grab her spear with my right hand and elbow her with my left elbow. She lets go of her spear and I immediately spin the spear in a circle hitting Nightmare with the blunt end, knocking her away. She again makes the spear turn into a mist and called it back to her.

She's smirks, "Trying to use my own weapon against me are you? Well too bad! I can easily call my spear back any time." After she said that, I just smirk and hold my right hand out turning the spear into a mist and coming towards me. "W-what, but-but HOW?!"

When the mist gets into my hand however, it formed into a different spear.

"Im-impossible!" She hasn't seen anything yet. She summons a black sword and begins to charge at me but I jumped towards the ceiling to which her eyes followed me. Once I was on the ceiling I jumped of it and came at Nightmare from the top she jumped back and I made a small crater from where I landed.

"Full Thrust!" I rear back and charged forth, she dodged to the left and I made a decent size hole in the wall. She was about to swing at me but I yelled out "Chaos Thrust!" At that moment I swing at her three times each time causing cherry blossoms to appear. She again gets knock back. That's when I think we should end it. "Twilight gather your friends to use the elements. To make it work you must think what makes you and your friends special, think back to your journey from Ponyville to here. You'll know what to do from there." I assumed she went to it.

Nightmare Moon was back up and looked pissed. She turned into a mist a spread about everywhere. I put my spear away and placed my hands on the trigger and handle and closed my eyes. When I felt where she was I pushed the trigger and cut her sword in half, knocking her to the ground again. When I noticed the elements charging up, I sheathed my sword and waited. She got back up, trying to kill me by glaring, to which I pointed behind her.

END MUSIC

When she turned around, the main 6 fired the Elements of Harmony at her causing her to scream in agony. After that, a bright flash covered the room. Where Nightmare Moon use to be now lays a magic exhausted Luna.
> Ch.4 - Explanations and Forgiveness
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	After Luna has returned back to normal, I chose to sit back and let what happened in the show play out. I this time decided to take in the details of everyone.

Now that Celestia and Luna aren't attacking me, I can see that Celestia is a little bit taller than me (excluding horns) and Luna is about the same size as me, the main 6 are about a head smaller than me. As for what they're wearing, Luna is wearing some rags, not sure why, just going with it. Applejack is wearing a red plaid shirt, which is tied to show off her midriff and is wearing short jeans. Fluttershy is wearing a green sweater and a long skirt. Rarity is wearing a white dress with a purple ribbon on her waist. Rainbow Dash is wearing a blue tank top and black workout shorts. Pinkie Pie is wearing a yellow peplum and light blue shorts. Twilight Sparkle is wearing a white blouse and black knee high skirt.

After I was done taking in what they were wearing it was silent and all eyes were on me. 'Oh no...' As I finished, I got bombarded with questions from the main 6 (with the exception of Fluttershy) ranging from "What are you?" to "Do you like parties?" Luckily for me Celestia stepped in and stopped all of them.

"Now, now my little ponies, you may ask him questions after the Summer Sun Celebration." The main 6 whined a little bit (again with the exception of Fluttershy).

"Thanks Celestia." At least she isn't trying to kill me, but Luna is glaring at me.

"I should be thanking you." Everyone looks at her with a surprised expression, especially Luna.

"Sister, why are you thanking him?" Makes sense that she doesn't trust me.

"Well you see Luna, Wilby here actually planned this." Celestia explains making Luna have a look of confusion. Celestia continues, "He told me that Nightmare Moon freed him with the intent of using him-"

"Oh you have no idea... she tried seducing me!" Luna blushed immensely upon hearing that. "Thats why I told her about the new element bearers and convinced her to capture Celestia." Everyone then glared at me. "Hey! I was just doing what was suppose to happen... except I gave Celestia the key to escape. Though I didn't expect Nightmare to attack Twilight like that. But in the end, my main goal was to free Luna from her nightmare."

"Wait, how did you know what was going to happen?" Twilight asked the question.

"Umm, well you see-oh! Sorry to get off topic but I haven't properly introduced myself yet. My name is Wilby Hinojosa at your service." I did a little bow as well. It looked like Pinkie was about to go all out but I put my hand up to signal her to stop. "No introductions needed, I already know who all of you are. Pinkie Pie the hyper active pony, Rainbow Dash the fastest flier in Equestria, Fluttershy the animal caretaker, Rarity the fashionista, Applejack the proud worker of Sweet Apple Acres, and last but not least, Twilight Sparkle soon to be librarian of Golden Oak Library."

"An' just how do ya know of us?" Applejack questioned.

"I'll get to that... once we are in a more comfortable place. I don't know about ya, but being in the same place for 1003 years makes me want to leave. How about we go to Golden Oaks Library, then I'll explain everything."

"He does have a point, besides I'm tired of this bland castle." Of course would want to leave.

"Alright we'll go back to Ponyville, I to am curious to what you know Wilby." Celestia begins charging her horn to teleport to Ponyville.




Just like that we're in Ponyville, Golden Oaks Library to be specific.

"Alright now then, Wilby, I want an explanation of how you knew about us." Twilight demands.

I walk over to the bookshelf and pull out a random book and open it, all while saying, "Of course, but a little reminder, I know many more ponies than just you nine, you know." The book I pulled out was conveniently a history book. I also mentally check that I am able to read their writings and do a little reading.

"Nine? Pfft, do you not know how to count there's only us eight and you here." Rainbow exclaims.

I simply point towards a young drake sleeping without looking, "Also you might want to wake up Spike, I'm sure he'll want to listen to this as well." I turn towards Rainbow to give her a smug grin.

Rainbow glares at me, while Twilight goes gets Spike.

When Twilight comes back with Spike, who still looks the same from the show, he sees me and immediately says, "Whoa... who brought in the hairless monkey?" Twilight was about to say something... but I had a comeback in mind.

"Says the oversized lizard." I said with an raised.

"... touché." Spike said while crossing his arms.

"Anyways, now that everybody is-"

"Everypony." Twilight rudely interrupted me.

"Everybody... is here, I'll explain how I know all of you. But first, Twilight you might want to write this down." As I said that she summoned a paper and quill. "Firstly, I am not from this world." They all gasped, "The planet I'm from is called Earth, which is a world populated by many but the dominant species are humans, which is what I use to be."

"Why do you say that?" The always astute, Twilight ask.

"Well you see, it has to do with how I came here. One day I went to a convention with my two best friends and we bought something from this guy. Shortly after we bought them though, my friends started to disappear. After I witnessed them disappearing, I was dragged down into this strange place that I soon learned is called the void. While I was in the void, it was literally taking me apart and rebuilding with itself, turning my essence into nothingness. I soon blacked out thankfully and when I woke up I was in the Everfree, after a while I soon met the princesses who soon stoned me." Both Celestia and Luna cringed at that.

"Oh you poor thing." Fluttershy said, "It must have been terrible to just be taken away from your friends and family."

"I will miss my family but I do know that my friends are out they as well." After all my friends were transported to other Equestrias.

"That still doesn't explain how you know us." Twilight pointed out.

"Yes, I know, I'm getting to that." I take a deep breath. "You see in my world, we have somthing called television or TV, for short. It is used to entertain people with comedies or investigations or even history, which we call shows. There is one show in particular called... My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and it's... about all of you ponies and dragon, except you're on all fours. Anyways, it's just a show going about all your adventures and the magic of friendship and all that."

Everyone in the room was silent, until Twilight spoke up, "So, you're saying that you know us because of a show back in your world?"

"... Yeah seems about right." They are taking this in surprisingly well.

"This means you know certain events that will take place?" Now I see where she is taking this.

"Yes I do know of certain events that take place, BUT that doesn't mean I'll be telling you everything of whats going to happen. Plus, now that I'm here, certain events might not even take place." Twilight pouted from what I said.

It was at this moment that something appeared in the room, in front of me. What appeared was a thick brown scale.

'Congratulations, you just obtained your first token.' Yami informed me.

"What the hay is that?" Rainbow said while I examined it.

"Remember when I said my friends disappeared as well?" They all nodded. "Well, there are actually more people that disappeared to different Equestrias than just me and my friends. In fact, the term for someone who has been transported to Equestria is 'displaced'."

"Different Equestrias? Displaced? How do you know all of this?" Luna asked while I put the scale away for later.

"I learned all of this when I was stoned by you two." I said nonchalantly.

"Look about turning you to stone... we're deeply sorry and we hope you can forgive us." Celestia said, while her and Luna looked towards the ground.

I paused trying to figure out what to say. "Celestia... from what I have read and seen, I had formed mix feelings about you. But my gut is telling me that you care very deeply for your ponies and I like that about you. So, I can say that I do forgive you, but I'll still have some mixed feelings about you." She seemed to brighten up a little bit. "Luna... I just want you to know... that I can never hate you! You're my favorite princess after all."

Luna looked surprised, "Fav-favorite?"

"Yes! How can I not like you? You're such an amazing pony. I will always be loyal to no matter what." She brightened up a lot from me saying that. "Though, how I do adore night time so much. Don't you have a celebration to put on?"

"Oh my, I completely forgot! Come everpony let us continue the Summer Sun Celebration. I'll be announcing both of you, Luna and Wilby to Equestria as well."

We all went to go watch the sun be raised and celebrate. While we were on our way I couldn't help but think one thing.

'Where have I seen that brown scale?'
> Ch.5 - Q&A... (story, not y'all)
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	The Summer Sun Celebration went off as it normally did, with the addition of two special guest. Princess Luna was re-introduced to Equestria and was announced to rule along side her sister once more. When she introduced me however, I got some... negative comments from the xenophobic ponies.

It didn't really bother me that much, for I sort of expected it. Celestia managed to calm them down though and tell them that I single handedly took on Nightmare Moon.

Once the crowd heard that, they did a 180 and cheered for me. I didn't care too much, as long as Lulu is safe and sound, I'm quite alright.

Anyways the Celebration went off completely fine and when it was time for Celestia and Luna to go back to Canterlot, they ask me the question I still didn't have an answer to.

"Would you like to live in the Canterlot Castle? It's the least we can do for imprisoning you." Celestia asking the million dollar... bit question.

I hadn't really made up my mind about that. I mean, I wanted to be near Luna but I also wanted to live with the main 6.

"Oh, but Princess! I want to know everything about him and his world!"

Thank you Twilight for simplifying things.

"Well then, I guess I will be staying with Twilight then if she seeks knowledge from me. It'll certainly be more lively here than a castle with a bunch of disrespectful snobs that will accidentally run into my fist, face first." I ended with a bright smile.

Celestia giggled a bit, "Yes, we wouldn't want any accidents happening to any of the nobles. Please do take care everypony and Wilby-" I look towards her, "I'll be expecting you to report to me of any dangers."

"Aaaawww... what's the fun in that?" She gave me a 'are-you-serious-look'. "... Ugh, fine, I'll tell you some things... if you can ask very specifically. Otherwise if I don't say anything, there's probably a lesson behind it that needs to be learned."

"I'm lived thousands of years... what other lessons could I learn?" She said getting closer to me.

"What? An old dog can learn new tricks." I grinned evilly.

"DID YOU JUST CALLED ME OLD!" She roared in front of my face, not quite royal canterlot voice.

"You are vastly older than me." I deadpanned.

She huffed and turned towards the main 6... plus Spike, also Luna was snickering. "This is goodbye then my little ponies. Though I expect friendship reports and findings about Wilby from you Twilight."

"Oh, of course but why Wilby?"... 'My feels.'

"I am curious to how Wilby's world is and how it works. Come Lulu, we must be getting back to the castle now." Everyone said their goodbyes and soon left.

We all decided to head back to the library for two reasons. One, was to get sleeping arrangements out of the way, for Twilight, Spike and me. And two, answer some questions... for some reason I wanted to ignore the second one.

After finishing up the first one, I just wanted to sleep but I knew they wanted answers.

"Alright, I'm guessing you want answers now and sleep later." They are nodded, even Fluttershy! "In that case, we're gonna handle this like a class, meaning you'll raise your hands and I'll pick on you to tell me your question but only one at a time. Sound good?" They hesitantly agreed... well, Rainbow hesitantly agreed. "Good, now go."

They all raised their hands and I decided to choose Pinkie first. Before she told her question though, Twilight pulled out a paper and quill.

She took in a deep breath, "Do you like cake?"

That surprisingly didn't catch me off guard considering I did say one question at a time, so I of course gave her a question. "Yes I do like cake, vanilla being my favorite. Although I don't eat all that much, mostly because it's too sweet and it makes me a little sick." She surprisingly took that well, I can already see us being good friends.

Everyone else however was shocked to see how Pinkie took that, but they disregarded that and reised their hands again. I picked Rainbow this time.

"Can I see that awesome sword?!"

"No, but I'll be willing to give a demonstration of what more this sword can do... tomorrow." She seemed grumpy of my answer.

"What more can it do?" Asked Twilight...

"You didn't raise your hand nor did I pick on you. I'll let you off with a warning but if this happens again, I'll send you to the principal's office." I could practically feel how annoyed she is.

Everyone again raised their hand. I was about to pick Twilight... buuuuuuut, "Fluttershy what's your question?" Twilight let out a frustrated groan.

"Oh... um... I-I was just... wandering what kind... kind of animals are on your world. If you don't mind." Cuteness overload ALREADY.

"Oh, why Earth has many types of animals. Though I must know what you'll be more interested about, pet friendly animals, wild animals, aquatic animals, avian animals, prehistoric animals, also known as dinosaurs, etcetera etcetera." I explained, secretly trying to get her to choose dinosaurs.

"Dinosaur? I've never heard of those before." And she took the bait.

I smiled brightly, "Dinosaurs were the most feared creatures to walk the Earth, they are to date back millions of years ago. We only know of their existence because of their fossils. My favorite dinosaur is the tyrannosaurus rex, which also means tyrant lizard king. I can tell you more later if you like."

"Oh yes please, I would love to hear more about these dinosaurs." Looks like I already broke her out of her shell, "If that's ok with you." Akmost broke her out.

I picked Rarity next, much to Twilight's annoyance.

"I've been dieing to ask darling, but where did you get those clothing, they look simply wonderful." As she was getting a feel of my clothes, making me blush a tiny bit and making Spike give me the evil eye.

"Well to answer your question, Rarity, I had inspiration from many people that I decided to take ideas from their clothing and mixed it around while adding my own style. So basically I made it myself, with some help of course. If you want, I can share some fashion designs from my world later."

"I must say, you and whoever helped you, did a great job and I will love to hear about the fashion from your world." She happily agreed leaving my clothing alone.

Next I called upon Spike. Twilight sees now that she'll be going last.

"Are there any dragons in your world?" Questioned Spike.

"As cool as it may be. There aren't any, except for fantasy stories and games." He seemed a little down, so I thought I'll indulge him. "Although, this world was thought to be fantasy so most likely those fantasy stories and games exist as well." He brightened up from this. "In fact, how about I'll tell you about the most important dragon. Bahamut, Conquer of Skies, Hallowed Farther, First Sire, Dragon King! He is said to be reborn every generation bigger and more powerful each time, he can obliterate armies with his signatures move, such as megaflare, terra flare, giga flare or exa flare. He's also very helpful if appease you to him."

Spike could only mutter one word... "Epic..."

I was about to call on Applejack, but she didn't have her hand raised.

"You don't have a question for me?" I asked her.

"Nope, Ahm not really too sure what ta ask." She said while leaning further into the chair.

"Well Twilight that leaves you."

"FINALLY!" Here we go.

Before she had time to ask question after question, I quickly said, "Only one for tonight. I actually want to go to sleep."

She huffed and continue, "How where you able to steal Nightmare Moon's spear and turn it into..."

I summoned it, "Gáe Bulg is its name and how I stole what cause my left eye, otherwise known as copy cat eye." I said as I pointed to it. "She was using dark magic, which is what I'm most familiar with so I copied her and since I had more control over dark magic I was able to overpower her for control and took it as mine. I'll also be doing some demonstrations tomorrow with it as well."

As I finished, she was staring at me wide eyed. "Dark magic?! How can you use such an evil source of magic."

Everyone then noticed the tiny black lightning tracing my body, nothing to threatening though. "I'll talk to you more about it tomorrow, as for now I'm going to bed." I left them all without saying goodnight and immediately left for the room that I was assigned to occupy for the time being.

I didn't care too much about going to sleep fully clothed but I made do. Soon... I was finally able to sleep, after 1000 years, I finally went to sleep.

I didn't expect to be falling into darkness however.
> Ch.6 - I Dream of Luna
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	I continued falling into the dark abyss, that strangely seemed familiar. I closed my eyes a short while later, hoping that it will just end. After a while, I noticed that I landed on something. I opened my eyes to see a mural straight from Kingdom Hearts, only it was of me.

"Well then, this just got really complicated." I smirked (you know why, if you're a fan of KH).

The mural colors were black and blue, with me in the center wielding masamune. Though, there were two blank circles next to me.

"What am I doing in my heart anyways?" I waited for the empty voice to speak.

Nothing came... it was just... silent. I was just standing around waiting for something to happen.

That was until I finally heard something.

"Well this is an interesting dream, to say the least."

However it didn't sound empty. I turned around to see Luna, still magically exhausted but this time wearing an elegant robe similar to Celestia's but it was black. Just like her sister, it hugged her tightly, showing off them curves.

"Lu-Luna?! I... didn't quite expect you to be here." I said with a confused expression.

"What? You said you were familiar with our lives, so surely you must've known of my dream walking ability, no?"

"I did know, though I didn't realize you'll be doing it right now. I thought you needed some sort of magic to that."

"Dream walking is a natural ability that I possess. I don't need magic to be able to do it."

"Okay then but why did you check up on me?"

"Well, I didn't really get to talk to you all that much and... I also wanted to hear why I'm your favorite princess." I nodded, beckoning her to continue. "So I decided to speak to you directly in your dreams but I didn't quite realize you were this self absorbed." She said while looking around.

"Hey, I'm not self absorbed." She pointed towards the mural below us. "Look, this place is just a... how should I put this. There is something called Kingdom Hearts in my world which is a story. In this story, usually in the very beginning, you are transported into this place," I motioned around me, "also known to be one's heart. This just so happens to be my heart."

"This... is your heart?" She stared at the mural while saying that.

"Yes... I think. The story is very complicated. Anyways you wanted to talk, right?" She nodded, "Well, I sort of wish we were in a better area than this. In fact I had the perfect area in mind."

Just as I said that, a bright pink door appeared out of nowhere.

"Where did that door come from and why does it lead to nowhere?" Said Luna as she inspected the back of the "pointless" door.

"In the story, it lead to where your heart needed to go. As to why or where I'm not sure." I said.

'The door appeared because you wanted to visit to a certain location.'

"Who said that? Show yourself!" Luna demanded.

"Relax it was just Yami, I'll tell you more about him. But, what he says is true, then follow me." I said while grabbing onto the handles.

Luna gotten behind me, and I pulled open the doors. When I opened it however, a light came out, blinding us both.




When the light died down, we opened our eyes to see that we're on an island at night time.

"Sweet! We're actually on Private Oasis." I said while taking in the scene.

Luna was stunned to see this, "Where are we exactly?"

"Oh, well you see, there's another story called Legend of Zelda, this one in particular being Wind Waker. It is taken place in the Great Sea and the island we are on at the moment is called Private Oasis. And since you're here, I made it night time. So what do you think?" I said while crossing my arms triumphantly.

"This is so beautiful. I've never seen anything like this before. Though... you have the star formations all wrong."

"So then, I guess our star formations are different then. How about I'll tell you them. After I had answer your questions of course."

"Different star formation... I would love to hear them but yes, of course my questions."

"Come, why don't we take a seat." I said while offering my hand. She gained a small blush but took my hand none the less.

We walked through the water, to the raised platform with two chairs. I went up first and pulled her up to me and we both took a seat.

"So then what's your questions."

"It's just one really." She took a deep breath, "Why am I your favorite princess? What's to like about me..." she looked at her hands, twiddling her thumbs.

I looked at her, "Luna... there are many reasons to like you."

"Like what? All I do is bring darkness over Equestria." She was starting to tear up.

I looked towards the moon, "No. You don't bring darkness to Equestria." She was about to say something but I continued with what I had to say. "Look at the moon" she looked towards it, "and tell me what you see."

"... It's just the moon... and... my prison."

I shook my heard, "How about I'll tell you what I see. There's light, hope, inspiration," I turn towards her, " beauty. What I'm trying to say is... yes there is darkness" she looked down, "but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing."

She looked at me again, "What do you mean?"

"I'm saying, what you bring isn't what you think you bring. You believe that your darkness is evil but in actuality your darkness is beauty. You bring something forth that is awe inspiraring, just look at the countless stars that twinkle, look at the moon that reflects light." I spread my arms out for more effect.

She smiled, "Thank you for that." Though that smile soon fell, "But... nopony else thinks like that and they hate me for it."

"Does it really matter what others think? You bring out the night and make a masterpiece out of it, you love it. So why does other people's opinion have to do with it. Yeah it'll be nice for everyone to cheer you on, but in the end, you have to ask yourself. Are you doing this because you like it or are you doing it because they like it You do it because you like it and even if they don't enjoy it, they need it."

She brightened up a lot from what I said, "What do you mean they need it?"

I snickered "You try going to sleep when the sun never goes down." She giggled. "But in all seriousness, the day for everything needs to work and the night for everything needs to sleep. There needs to be a balance."

She seemed to understand this, "Thank you Wilby, I really needed to hear that."

"Hey, no problem. I'll always be there for you." She blushed once more.

"You still haven't answered why I'm your favorite."

"Many reasons, such as, I can actually enjoy watching your moon but if I watched the sun, I'll go blind." She giggled once more. "But, for the actual reason to why you're my favorite... is, well, because..." I look towards the night sky. "I love your beautiful night, you are loads of fun and really... I just like you for who you are."

She blushed madly from that, "Th-thank you... it means a lot to me."

We just sat there, quietly watching the night sky, enjoying the gentle breeze and sound of the calm waves.

"So then... how about I tell you about those constellations."

We spent the rest of the time talking aout the constellations in the sky. Talking about the lesser ones and the bigger ones, such as the zodiac signs and what they mean. But all good things must come to an end.

"I'm sorry Wilby but morning is slowly approaching. I must be leaving soon." She said while getting up.

"There's no need to apologize, you do have some catching up to do and the kingdom. Besides, you can always visit anytime when I'm asleep." I said while getting up to give my goodbyes.

"And I'll be sure to visit, until next time."

Right before she left my dream however, she walked towards me and gave me a kiss on the cheek, making us both blush. Difference was, she was smiling and I was surprised. With one last giggle she left me to my dream.

I placed a hand on the cheek she kissed, "Until next time..."
> Ch.7 - Hate Mornings But Love Bets

	Twilight's PoV

"What do you mean he's still not up." I said angrily when Spike checked up on Wilby.

"It means what it means! You know, for a bookworm, you sure don't know much..." Spike mumbling the last part for his own safety.

I sighed, "Well I guess we'll get him up." As I said that, I beckoned Spike to follow me to his room.

When we entered Wilby's room, I saw him splayed out on his bed snoozing away.

I put a hand on his shoulder and shook him a little. "Come on Wilby, it's time to get up." No response... I shook him harder, "You will get up or so help you Celestia, I will-" He turned over to his side, waving me off while saying incoherent things.

'Aw, he does look kind of cute like that...'

"Spike get the bucket..." I said after thinking... that!

"Cold water?" He said with a shit-eating grin.

"Freezing cold..." I said, grinning evilly.

He saluted and went off to go get Wilby's undoing.

Once he came back, I thanked him and grab the bucket via magic and counted to three.

One...

Spike was was waiting in anticipation,

Two...

Wilby turned onto his back once more, making this all too perfect.

...THREE!

The ice cold water came down on Wilby, though I didn't expect see hear him scream as if he were in pain. Spike and I fell back from this and when I looked back to Wilby, I could literally see his left arm freezing a little bit. I could only think of one thing to heat him up a it... my own body temperature.

Without thinking of another solution I quickly get up and jump on him, hugging him as tightly as I could to keep him warm. He started calm down and was soon quiet, shivering a bit.

I couldn't help but start to tear up. "I-I'm so sorry Wilby, I just wanted to wake you up b-but I just had the idea of using a bucket, I... I didn't know I would hurt you... please don't hate me!" I start to sob on him.

Then, I feel him hugging me back. "I-it's o-ok,I-I could never hate you, y-you didn't know."

"But I hurt you, badly, you were freezing. How could you just-" I felt him place his hand on my mouth.

"Sometimes you just have to accept things in life. I know it wasn't your intent to do that to me and I can and will forgive you. Can you accept that." He said, finishing it with a smile.

I place my head on his shoulder. "Only if you can accept that I'll find a way to make this up to you as an apology."

He chuckled "Of course, I know that you won't have it any other way."

I heard Spike leave the room, probably didn't want to ruin the moment. We just sat there hugging each other for awhile. To be be honest... I'm really quite enjoying it.




Wilby's PoV

After that moment, she left my room to go see if Spike has started breakfest. I didn't really have much else to wear so I continued wearing the cold wet clothes, hoping they will soon dry. I walk out of my room to smell the alluring scent of pancakes.

"Aw man, I haven't had pancakes in such a long time." I said walking into the kitchen, spying the golden saucers of deliciousness. Twilight was already eating some at the table.

I hear Twilight giggle, "Well good thing Spike makes the best pancakes."

Spike basked in the praise and gave me a plate of pancakes.

I thanked him and sat down across from Twilight. I grabbed some butter and syrup for my pancakes. I was about to dig in when I notice something... something, no, a necessity was missing! But what could it be...

"Hey Wilby, you alright? You sort of just froze." Spike earned a glare from Twilight telling him to not use that word.

"I feel like I'm missing something... I always had it during breakfest, back on my world."

"Well, what else goes on pancakes other than butter and syrup?" Spike said and Twilight was about to answer him but got cut off from him, "Don't answer that Twi." She mumbled in response.

"No it has nothing to do with the pancake it was-" *enter dramatic gasp* "THE BACON!!! I'll never be able to eat bacon again..." I cried streams just like in animes.

"Bacon! Why in Equestria would you want meat!" Twilight said with concern.

I quickly recomposed myself. "Well you see, humans are considered omnivores." Twilights eyes widened. "Though if I have to give up...meat, I guess I will. Mostly because I don't want to upset Fluttershy, though I will make rabbit stew if I am pushed by "Angel"." I finished, and then proceeded to eat my pancakes.

"Well I didn't expect you to be an omnivore, is there anything else that I should know?" Said Twilight as she teleported a quill and notepad.

I finished my pancakes and continued, "Well, I can get into the human anatomy at a later point. Though since I am different from humans now and you showed a demonstration of just how different I am than humans, I guess the weaknesses I gave myself long ago applied big time." Spike picked up our dishes and brought them to the sink.

"Alright, I'll make some minor details of how different you are from humans. And what do you mean made your weaknesses?"

"Well remember when I said I bought something at a convention to get here?" She nodded. "Well I cosplayed as my own design, with certain equipment, powers and weaknesses. My weaknesses are vulnerability to light magic and extreme levels of temperature."

"So... that's why... you froze..." She looked down and Spike also looked guilty as well.

"Hey cheer up, you didn't know and I said there were no hard feelings." I gave them a cheery smile.

They both brightened up but Twilight soon gained a look of confusion. "Why are you telling me your weaknesses?"

"Becuase I trust ya'll, I know you won't try to backstab me." I said while getting up. "Now come on, I told Rainbow I'll be doing a demonstration of what I got! And I'm sure you'll be interested as well."

She smiled and called for Spike to come along. We left the library to go get Rainbow and find something I could test on.




We found Rainbow taking a nap on a cloud a short while after we left the library.

"Hey Rainbow, Wilby says he's ready to show you what he can do!" Twilight called out to the prismatic mare.

"Huh... OH! Finally, I've been waiting so long to see what you can do, so that I can top it!" Rainbow said while flying down, landing near us.

"Nice to see you too, Skittles." I smirked.

"SKITTLES!... what's that?" Rainbow says.

"You see 'Skittles' in my world is a type of candy, each piece is a different color of a rainbow. Each color has there own flavor." I smirk than increased, "Also, the slogan for this candy is "Taste the rainbow"."

Rainbow blushed and her wings were opening a bit. When I saw this, I decided to further increase her embarrassment. "So wing-boners are an actual thing. The more you know."

Her blush only grew, then she got the look of idea coming along and her blush disappeared. "So then, how would like to have some skittles then?"

Did she just try to turn this around? "I would love to have some, besides I'm still hungry."

"...oh, oh you're good." She crossed her arms and glared at me.

"Not as good as you are, Skittles." I sense rivalry between us.

"Um, shouldn't we be going." Twilight cut in.

"Oh sure thing Twi. Come on, I know of a big open field." Rainbow recommended.

"Alright, sounds like a plan. Also, what will I be cutting down anyways?" I said as we all start walking towards this field.

"I was thinking we can use clouds." Rainbow said flying lazily.

"Clouds! Isn't that a little too soft... and what's this we, you speak of?"

"We're gonna see who can get rid of the most clouds." She notices my 'really' look. "What, you chicken?"

Twilight began to explain to Rainbow, "No offense Rainbow, but doesn't that seem a little unfair, I mean Wil-"

"I accept your challenge, Skittles." I say nonchalantly.

"WHAT?!" Twilight and Spike yelled out.

"Alright lets make a bet, whoever loses has to do something embarrassing in the middle of Ponyville!" Offering her hand.

"Deal!" I grab her hand and shake on it. "Who is determined as winner?"

"Whoever gets rid of the most clouds. And to make it fair, I'll get some pegasi to set up the clouds."

Rainbow and I continue going towards the field, while Twilight and Spike stand there, stunned.




The pegasi that Rainbow mentioned, has finished up with setting up the clouds. I total they, had settup 99 clouds in total. The reason why there isn't 100 is so there's no ties.

To be honest... I should've expected a crowd to be here, curtsey of Pinkie. Speaking of Pinkie-

"Hey Dashie, hey Wilkby!" Pinkie yelled running towards us.

'It seems that nickname still follows me.'

"Wikby?!" Rainbow fell backwards laughing her ass off.

"Just you wait Skittles." I said crossing my arms.

"Oooo good one, Wikby, maybe I'll start using it. OH YEAH, also when's your birthday and I'm still preparing the "Welcome to Ponyville/Equestria and thanks for handling Moony" party!"

"I'm not sure if dates are the same here but it's August 26."

"Really?! That's so soon! Oh yeah and good luck you two, now if you'll excuse me. TAKE YOUR BETS, RAINBOW OR WILBY!" She yelled out to everypony.

"You're taking bets?" Twilight aksed the hyper pony.

"Of course, silly. Now, Rainbow or Wilby?"

Twilight sighed, "20 bits on Rainbow."

Rainbow looked at me with a smug face and turns back to Pinkie. "So Pinkie, how much is running on me?"

"Rainbow, so far 1289 bits. Wilby... none."

Rainbow bursted out laughing, while I still kept a cool and collected face. "1 bit on me." I said while I smirked.

"You can't bet on yourself." Twilight exclaimed.

"There can't be a bet if its one sided." I said taking a small glance at her.

"Pfft, when you lose, you'll have to pay back so much money to ponies, when you don't even have money!" She continued laughing.

"Skittles, I'm assuming we can go all out?"

"Yeah but it won't do ya much." She said while placing her hands on her hips.

"If that is the case, then lets do this." I said, crossing my arms.

"Ooo, this is gonna be fun! Twilight, Spike, I need you two to get out of the field." They nodded and Twilight spotted the rest of her friends and beckoned Spike to follow. "Alright you two, follow me."




Pinkie pulls a megaphone from her hair. "Good evening everypony, today we have our two contestants. On my left is Rainbow Dash, the fastest flier in Equestria!" Everypony cheered. "And on my right is Wilby Hinojosa, the defeater of Nightmare Moon!" There were a few slow claps and coughs.

Rainbow snickered but I knew better. I know, that you never underestimate your opponent.

OPTIONAL MUSIC

Pinkie moved into a special podium to keep track of who got rid of the most clouds, "On your mark get set... GO!"

Immediately Rainbow flew towards the sky. Me on the other hand, I fired out my sword destroying one cloud and jumped up to catch the sword in midair and slash any other clouds on my way down.

I continued running forward to more clouds and with a flick of my wrist I turned the sword into a whip blade slashing any clouds I ran by. When I got to the clouds I set my eyes on, I turned my sword back to normal and threw it in the air jumping after it and I caught it, bringing towards the ground causing a shockwave, the technique coming from a pink ball I knew.

I turned the blade into dual blades and begin slashing out every cloud I came cross with frightening speed. I put the swords back into one and grabbed three throwing knives from my right and threw them hitting more clouds.

I switched into a long sword and continued to slash every cloud near the ground.

After awhile I spotted only one cloud left which was to high for me. A dragoon however...




Rainbow's PoV

'Aw yeah there's no way he can beat me, I took out about every cloud in the air.'

I noticed there was one more cloud really high up, for Wilby anyways. I look down towards him and he sees the cloud as well, I just flash him the biggest grin I can manage. I begin my flight towards it taking my time. 

Just about when I was gonna get rid of it however, Wilby flew right through it with a spear.

STOP MUSIC

He then began to fall towards the ground. I saw he was too far but I had to try, I began to fly towards him but he was falling much faster for some reason, then... he hit the ground and was perfectly fine?

My wings then lock up as I was to dumbfounded of what just happen. Then it me... 'MY WINGS LOCKED UP!'

I yelled as I couldn't fly, thankfully Wilby caught me just in time and placed me on my hooves.

I looked away, "I didn't need your help..."

He didn't say anything for some reason, instead he was looking at Pinkie.

"So Pinkie who's the winner?" I asked with slight nervousness in my voice.

She inhaled, "Cliff-hanger!" Pinkie yelled.

"...Wha-"
> Ch.8 - Greetings Swordsman...
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------


Wilby's PoV

"...What do you mean, cliff-hanger?" Rainbow said irritably.

"Nothing you should concern yourself with, Dashie." Pinkie replied, giving a wink towards you...

I sighed, "Pinkie stop breaking the fourth wall, whoever's watching us wouldn't be pleased."

"Okie dokie lokie!" She repiled cheerfully.

"Would you just tell us who won, already!" Rainbow yelled out.

"Sure thing, Rainbow. *ahem* And the winner IS..." She checked the results once more, taking her sweet time.

"Stop stalling Pinkie and just say that I won already!" Rainbow said getting up in Pinkie's face.

"Alrighty then, Skittles." Pinkie said not noticing Rainbow's anger.

Rainbow starts telling Pinkie to not call her that whike Pinkie is just being Pinkie, though that wasn't important right now.

'Something is coming.'

'What's coming?' I start looking around for anything out of the ordinary. All that I see is the crowd, some with dumbfounded faces and others with the 'really' face and some with indifferent faces, but most were mumbling. Rainbow was still arguing with Pinkie, even though she didn't realize it.

"Greetings swordsman..." Everyone went quiet when something said that.

I knew what it was and I was getting ready for it, though... I'm not sure if my sword will be able to block it.

"I wander who said that, is it somepony new in town! Maybe I could put both of your parties toget-" Pinkie was cut off by a loud sound.

Said sound was an outline of a chainsaw coming at me giving me little time to block it, luckily my sword wasn't cut in half. But it was too soon to reclaim victory, because the rest of the outline was attempting to ram me. I grab onto his head with a free hand but it kept trudging forward, forcing me to move back with it. It then came to a stop and moved back a bit to do a front flip. I took the opportunity to jump back before it the outline of a chainsaw cut me in half.

We both landed a fair away from each other, it ceasing it's chainsaw. It then came into full view, for everyone to see. It was similar to a timberwolf but made of metal, it had one glowing red eye, extremely sharp claws, an long flexible tail with a chainsaw on the end. It then placed the chainsaw on some kind of holster on it's back and detached it from it's tail.

Everypony ran away from the area, minus the main 6, though Fluttershy had to be kept from running away... oh, and Spike was there too.

"What is that?" Twilight said attempting to get closer but I grab onto her shoulder and pushed her behind me. Even though she was yelling at me, it was for her safety.

The mysterious beast did decide to answer Twilight's question though. "I am LQ-84i. A prototype UG with a conversational interface."

Everyone, minus me, looked at Twilight. "... What?! I don't know what that is."

I decided to simplify it, "A talking robot dog, basically."

"A dog?" Fluttershy said getting a little bit more confident.

Applejack decided to ask a question to LQ, "Why did ya go n attack Wilby like that?"

"I am following orders." LQ answered immediately.

"And just what might does orders have to do with Wilby?" Rarity questioned.

"To eliminate the one called Wilby. It said while reattached it's tail to the chainsaw.

Everyone, again with the exception of me, had a horrific look. "Why would you take orders to kill somepony?!" Rainbow said angrily.

"If I am to disobey a direct order my memory will be wiped. I am sorry but Wilby must die." It said while getting ready to pounce.

I could see that Fluttershy was about to use the stare and everyone else was getting ready to fight. "Fluttershy, you can't use the stare and everyone else, you need to get away, now." I said while getting ready to block LQ.

"Wilby, you can't fight every battle by yourself, you have to let your friends help!" Twilight said and everyone agreeing with her.

"..." I needed to push them away.

'Yami, any ideas?'

'You could hit them with a shockwave, pushing them back, without harming them. Then I could set up a field so they can't enter, but you won't have access to magic.' Yami informed me.

'I don't have much of a choice... hopefully they'll forgive me.' The main 6 + 1 was still behind me, so I placed my sword in the ground and threw my arms behind me sending a shockwave at the main 6 + 1 pushing them back. Once they were out of the way, Yami put up a force field, sapping me of all my magic.

I shut out the complaints they were giving, mostly from Rarity for dirtying her dress. I grabbed my sword and got ready to take on LQ.

OPTIONAL MUSIC

We both stood there for a few moments, his glowing red eye piercing my own red and yellow eyes. I could see that he was a little hesitant. Seeing this, I came up with something.

"You know, we don't have to do this." I said trying to persuade him.

"I was given the order to eliminate you, I must carry it out." He replied.

"If you allow me to, I can give you the freedom you so desire." I said while taking a relax stance.

He looked down. "I... cannot disobey a direct order."

"You're self aware though, you should be able to make your own decisions. If you are force to fight for others, without a decision, then what's the point?"

"... I am sorry but you must die." He raised his head back up.

I sighed, "In that case, I am sorry... as well." I said getting back into my stance.

I gotten ready for either one of else to make the first move. It was painstakingly silent, sweat forming on my face, knowing that if he hits me directly with his chainsaw, it was game over. I had to win, I couldn't let my friends see such a traumatizing experience. I also knew, I couldn't kill him, he could become a great ally, if I cut off the chainsaw however, then perhaps I could hold him down until... no, I will give him a choice. I'll let him decide his own fate.

We continue staring at each other. He then let out an ear splitting howl, his red eye glowing brighter when he did it. Time seemed to slow down as he lept off the ground towards me, claws raised. I turned my sword side ways in order to block him.

He jumped back after his attack was blocked, reached for his chainsaw, doing a front flip towards me for extra momentum. I jumped towards my right as the chainsaw hit the ground, allowing me to get a few strikes on him.

After three quick swipes of my sword he jumped towards his right, turning towards me as he did so. He placed the chainsaw back on him and began jumping all over the place, orange static forming around him as he did. "I will obliterate your consciousness." He exclaimed out while jumping around.

He then came at me with full force, I didn't react fast enough, though. I could feel his claws dig into me knocking me away.

I quickly recovered and ignored the bleeding for now. Taking the initiative, I ran towards him, hoping that he'll try to dodge. Just as I tried to hit him he jumped over me, allowing me to strike him in midair, knocking him away.

He got back up and grabbed three throwing knifes. My eyes widened, knowing that they are heated to burn through anything. He threw them with a flick of his tail, I chose to jump out of the way than try to deflect them. When I did however he was coming right me, chainsaw in tail.

He took one swipe to his left, which thankfully, I was able to block. Another swipe from him towards his right this time, to which I jumped back. And one last swipe from above which I dodged to my right. I delivered four slashes this time around.

After I was done, he was having trouble reorientating himself, so I took this time to sheath my sword to fire at him. I pulled the trigger and hit him with full force knocking him away far from me.

"To continue alone would be foolish, help me!" He then howled after saying that.

Out of nowhere four timberwolves digged themselves from the ground. "Well, that's new." I said before they are charged at me.

Two of them jumped at me, which I just slashed at them, knocking them both in the same direction.

One tried going for my leg to which I promptly kicked them out of the way. The last one ran behind me, to which I sheath my sword. It then tried to pounce me but I pulled the trigger, slicing him in two.

I then grunted when I felt a sharp pain in my left shin. I turned to see one timberwolf biting down on me. I hit it with the blunt end of the blade to knock it off, then proceeded to cut it in half.

Then those two timberwolves came back towards me and tried jumping me once more. I then focused my mind, slowing down time and everything was then highlighted in blue. I activated blade mode and proceeded to cut them into tiny wood chips.

After I dealt with them, LQ came running at me. He jumped and spinned in midair, orange static surrounding him again. I jumped towards my left, grunting in pain from the wound. Once he landed, I grabbed his tail and spun him around. I jumped into the air, his tail still in my hand and slammed him into the ground.

He bounced off the ground a little, I, on the other hand, landed then fell to my left knee, grunting in pain. LQ got up but was dazed, allowing me an opportunity to finish this. I got up, working through the pain, I ran towards him. When I was close enough, I spun and kicked him with the my foot, full force. In doing so he comically spun around the air, allowing me to use blade mode.

I focused my mind once more and rather than aim while he was slowly moving, I positioned my sword to where his "holster" for his chainsaw would eventually cross. Right as it was where I needed it to be, I cut through with little trouble. He landed on the ground chainsaw-less and unconscious.

STOP MUSIC

After I had sheath my sword, Yami lowered the force field, allowing my magic to flow back to me. It also allowed me to get bitch slapped to the ground...

When I looked up, I saw it was Rainbow that did it. "What the hay were you thinking, taking him on alone?!" She yelled at me.

"Ah'm with Rainbow on this one, jus what were you thinkin'?" Applejack agreed, everyone else having the same exact thoughts.

I put my hands in front of me, defensively. "Look, I'm not gonna beet around the bush. That weapon he has is known as an HF chainsaw." I said pointing at the chainsaw.

"I have two questions, what's a chainsaw and what does the HF stand for?" Twilight chimed in, making Rainbow groan.

"A chainsaw is basically a tool used to cut down trees easily." Fluttershy gasped. "As for HF, it stands for "high frequency"  meaning it can cut through just about anything. I knew of his attacks but none of ya didn't, I didn't want anyway of you to get hurt, I hope you can forgive me." I said looking down.

They were all quiet, until we all heard LQ getting back up. I to got up, ignoring my friends request to stay down and made my way to his chainsaw. I picked it up by the "handle" and made my way to LQ despite my shin.

Once I made over to his beaten body, I got on one knee and presented his chainsaw. He looked at it with confusion and the main 6 + 1 was about to stop me but I put up my hand, telling them to calm them.

"I... I do not understand. Why are you presenting my weapon to me?" He questioned.

"I'm giving you the choice to either kill me or spare me, in the end... it's your decision." I said still keeping my hand up between me and the girls... and Spike.

"But why do you do this,what reason do you have?" He said while picking up his chainsaw.

"Becuase whatever you do, you'll know that it was your own decision. If you end me, then you'll go back to being a pawn being force to follow a single direction. If you spare me, then I'll make sure you don't ever have to worry about the ones giving you orders and you'll be free to make your own goals." I said with a determined look.

He gave it some thought, seconds feeling like minutes and minutes feeling like hours. After a short time, he made his decision he raised his chainsaw and thrust it forward... hitting the ground beside me. Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

"I do not understand your motives but if what you say is true, then I shall spare you." He said, letting go of the chainsaw.

I smiled brightly at that. "I do have one question though and feel free to say no. Do you wish to aid me in future battles?" I said putting out my hand to shake.

He gave some more thought on the idea but eventually he hesitantly took my hand and shook. "I will accept your offer in assisting you."

I chuckled a little bit, "Thank you very much, friend."

He cocked his head in confusion but he soon accepted the fact he just made a... friend.

"Aww, it's such a touching moment. How about we have a party for both of you?" Pinkie exclaimed.

"Umm can that wait until later, when LQ and I are healed?" I questioned, to which she nodded in agreement.

Applejack help me up, keeping me balance, while Fluttershy tended to LQ. Then Rainbow remembered something very important, "Oh yeah, Pinkie! Please tell me who won, I need to know!" She pleaded.

Pinkie looked out Rainbow and flat out said, "Wilby won of course."

"...WHA-"
> Ch.9 - Convenient Upgrades
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	After Rainbow's 'moment', she sort of froze. Pinkie and I were laughing, Applejack elbowing me to stop.

"So did I break her or did Pinkie did?" I voiced my question grinning.

"Why say that Pinkie broke her?" Rarity ask poking Rainbow's arm.

"Because how nonchalantly she said it, also with the cliff-hanger." I said.

"Ah think it's cause you got 56 points." Applejack said, which made me snicker.

"Welp, wouldn't be the first time~!" Pinkie said while pulling a sharpie from her hair mane.

Twilight took the sharpie away from Pinkie with her magic. "And we should make sure nothing happens to her when she's frozen."

"Yeah I guess your right, besides I want her to be conscious when she has to do her embarrassing challenge." I said, snickering a bit.

Twilight then picked Rainbow up in her magical grasp and we proceeded to head towards the library. Why the library? That is beyond my understanding.

Then a sly remark came into my head, "Aw, Twilight lifted Rainbow right off her hooves. Romantic, wouldn't you agree Rarity." Rarity and Pinkie giggled a bit.

She stopped and turned towards me, blushing profusely by the way. "Oh yeah... well I can say the same about you and Applejack." She had a confident smile.

Applejack blushed and I retorted with, "Yeah, but at least I'm conscious." Spike let out an 'OHHHHH'.

Twilight on the other hand threw the marker she took from Pinkie at me. "... That was indecent." I said

Twilight huffed and proceeded to the library. Rarity, Pinkie and Spike were trying to stifle the laughs. Applejack was still blushing, though she actually pulled me in closer... questions for later. Fluttershy was in her own world, speaking with LQ. Speaking of LQ, how am I gonna get the materials for LQ to become Blade Wolf.

'I might be able to help with that.' The always useful Yami, said... um... thought?

'Really? And how will you do that?'

'If you allow me control of your body, then I can infuse him with our powers. I basically be turning his metal plates into shadow tech, so to speak. I would also be healing your body.'

'Shadow tech? That sounds awesome! Though it seems awfully convenient... the healing too.'

'Shadow tech is what I'm calling it. I'll be infusing our power into his hardware changing it to match Blade Wolf with some added bonuses. With the infusion of machinery and shadow magic, it's obvious to be called shadow tech.' He said as a matter of fact.

'Well ain't you a master of plot convenience, how long will this take?'

'Not long, considering my proficiency at magic.'

'Well as long as it doesn't take long, I'll let you do it once we're at the library.'




We made it to the library relatively quickly, Twilight set the still frozen Rainbow on the wall. Applejack led me to the couch to sit on, she immediately put as much distance between us.

I decided to not beat around the bush and offer LQ the proposition, "So LQ, I was wondering if you would like to be upgraded by my other self?"

Everyone (minus Rainbow) looked at me with confusion. "What do you mean an upgrade from your other self?" LQ voiced everyone's question.

"I'm offering an upgrade that my other self would be doing." They're still confused. "OH, my other self! Yeah, guess I forgot to explain that, you see when I was being rebuilt by the void, it made another being that I call Yami. He's basically more in touch with the void and an master of magic. He says that he can give you an upgrade changing your body to make you more tough and some extra abilities. Oh and he'll be healing my body at the same time." I explained.

Twilight was excited to learn more about Yami, Fluttershy was wandering if it is painful for LQ, LQ was giving it some thought and Pinkie was wandering what was his favorite flavor. The others didn't really seem to think too much about it, Rainbow not thinking at all.

"I accept your offer to have an upgrade." LQ agreed to it.

"Oh but what if it's painful?" Fluttershy interjected.

"I have a special component called a pain inhibitor. It does what the name implies." LQ explained to Fluttershy, to which she calmed down. Twilight was even more intrigued to learn about LQ and myself.

"I always thought you didn't feel pain because you were a machine." I said, while running my hand through my hair.

"I do feel pain, it is a necessity to feeling emotion and to know that you are alive. My pain inhibitors just make it so that I do not have to worry about it during battle. Now can we move on to where you are giving me an upgrade." He said rhetorically.

"Yeah yeah, let me switch to Yami." I begin concentrating after I said that.




No one's PoV

Wilby stood up ignoring everyones protest, his scarf started to blow in a nonexistent breeze and black wisps were coming from were his injurious from LQ.

"I need everyone to stand back and LQ, I need you to here in the middle." Wilby? said.

"Wilby is acting very much different isn't he." Rarity whispered to Applejack.

"That's because I am not Wilby. He clearly stated that he will switch out and put me in control." He stated.

"So then you're Yami, I guess we should have assumed that." Twilight chuckled sheepishly. "Oh, why does your scarf blow when there is no wind and what's with the wisp?"

"It's basically the same as why Celestia's mane blows in a nonexistent wind. As for the wisp I'm just healing the wounds that the vessel has obtained."

Twilight gave a small gasp, "So that means you are have an outstanding amount of magic? That's quite fascinating to think that you're on par with Celestia when it comes to magic."

"I'm more powerful than Celestia but I mustn't go overuse my magic. Now if you'll exscuse me I need to get started on this upgrade for LQ." He said while he charged his hands with magic.

Twilight wasn't going to stop but she was at a lost of words, mostly because he claimed to be stronger than Celestia.

"Relax and we'll be done soon." Yami said to LQ to which he complied.

Yami then began to pour magic into LQ, his own shadow engulfing himself. Everyone that wasn't frozen were shocked to see his body changing slowly. After awhile it was complete and the shadow slowly returned to the ground. Everyone was in awe of what they saw.

"I have completely upgraded you. Your armor is far more tougher than before and you have more abilities that you'll have to find out on your own." Yami said moving back to give LQ some room.

LQ looked himself over, admiring his sleek design. "I thank you Yami, for this." He said, bowing.

"No need to thank me, it was Wilby's idea. Speaking of Wilby, I'll give him back control over this vessel." After he said that, he closed his eyes and his scarf stopped flowing and the wisp dissolved into nothing. He then fell onto the couch.

"Huh, so that's what it feels like to not have a body." Wilby said while placing a hand over his face.

"How does it feel?" Twilight said getting a paper and quill.

"Like being encased entirely in jello." Wilby said nonchalantly.

"Lucky! I want to float in jello." Pinkie whined.

Wilby then glanced towards LQ seeing him new and improved. "Sweet LQ, you look so awesome. Though I guess we should give you a proper name since I'm pretty sure 'LQ-84i' is just your serial number, correct?"

"Silly Wikby, cereal doesn't have codes" Pinkie said while seating herself next to Wilby.

"A serial code is a number set onto an object to identify it. And yes it would technically be my serial code." LQ explained.

"Ooh ooh! How about Blade Wolf!" Pinkie somehow read Wilby's mind.

"Why would you give such an intimidating name to LQ who is already intimidating enough?" Rarity mistakenly questioning Pinkie's logic.

"Because he looks like a wolf and look at those blades on him. I'm pretty sure Dashie would agree with me, watch. Hey Rainbow if you agree say nothing." She called out to the still petrified Rainbow. "See she totally agrees."

Rarity was about to counter her with something but Wilby cut her off, "Actually that was exactly what I had in mind when naming him."

"I would actually like my name to be Blade Wolf, as well." Blade Wolf agreed.

Rarity seemed distraught but she decided to stop before this got confusing.




Wilby's PoV

Rainbow finally regain consciousness and was about to attack Wolf, until everything was explained to her. After that she then started going on about how cool looking Wolf looked. Also I decided to put her loser challenge tomorrow and also collect my pay of an outstanding 1289 bits, at least I hope it's alot.

Anyways we were all talking, mostly talking about how different my world is, which had everyone intrigued. After awhile, we decided it was time for bed. Twilight, Spike and myself said our goodbyes to them. As for Wolf, he actually went along with Fluttershy.

I told Twilight and Spike goodnight and went off to my room. This time around, I actually took delivery to remove my clothing. Than the though hit me.

'This will be the first time in a 1000 years since I removed my clothing.' I laughed a little bit at that thought.

I removed my shoes, my scarf and all of my top half. Since this is not my home, I left my pants on, I still have some decency. Although I was a little surprised that I was slightly buffed, not too majorly, more like Bruce Lee buff. This surprised me because, I wasn't the workout type but I'm not complaining.

Anyways, now comfortable in my pants I jumped onto the bed and began my slow pace to sleep.

'If I'm able to create a scenery exactly in my dreams, then am I able to create the exact same events? If so, I think I'll enjoy myself tonight watching Luna try to survive five nights times four.' I let out a quiet evil laughter after that thought.
> Ch.10  - Loser Challenge~
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------


Wilby's PoV

I was waiting in my dream for Luna but she hadn't come, I just assumed that she just had to get back to her duties or was learning everything that happened while she was gone. Though, that doesn't mean that I didn't experiment to see how it would work. I remember playing it back then and I wasn't really afraid of it at all, but now... it's... it's a whole new level of being afraid. That's all I'll be saying, for now.

Anyways, that's really all I've done for the entire dream sequence. Testing out to see how scary it would be and predicting how hilarious it would be to hear Luna screaming her ass off. And yes, it did take me all night to complete all four games... complete... the completionist is right, you would need a therapist after all that but I digress.

After I completed them, I soon "awoke" from my slumber. By that I mean I rolled out of bed and still got some extra z's on the floor. I despise waking up, it's always a hassle. Anywho, after I was awake, enough, I grabbed my clothing and made a mental note to have some made from Rarity. I say grabbed, because I was gonna take a soothing shower to wake me up even further.

After I walked out of my room I spotted Spike entering the kitchen and went to ask him where the shower was. "Oi Spike, where is the shower?" I asked sleepily.

He looked at me, "Dude, why aren't you wearing a shirt?"

I gave him my best 'are you serious look'. "Why aren't you?"

He squinted his eyes at me, "... Touché." He then got an evil look in his eyes. "Yeah the bathroom is the first door upstairs." He said smirking evilly.

I raised an eyebrow at him. "Well, whatever you say little buddy." I said making my way to the bathroom. The thought then hit me, 'Where's Twilight, shouldn't she be helping Spike with breakfest? Oh yeah, she doesn't... fuck it, I'm too tired to think.'

I made it to the door and reached for the doorknob, I opened it and saw something that made me even more glad that I was wearing baggy pants. I saw a fully naked Twilight in the shower, my mind completely turned off and my eyes glued on to her body taking in every detail. Her plumped ass, her luscious thighs, her moderate size breasts and best of all she was wet from the shower, making it very hard to pry my eyes away.




No PoV

Twilight on the other hand was in complete shock to see Wilby without a shirt staring at her naked form. Though, where Wilby was taking in evry detail of Twilight's body, she didn't need to think. She placed her left arm on her breast and pointed her body towards the side to haide away her marehood, though she didn't stop there. She sticked out her right arm and blasted Wilby out of the doorway and onto the ground of the first floor and closed the door with her magic, all the while screaming.

Wilby landed on the floor with a loud thud, not bothering to get up. Spike walked towards him and and a cheeky grin plastered on his face, "So, how has your morning been so far? Mine has been great!"

Wilby looked at him, "Shut up and get a wet towl for my head..."

Soon after, Wilby was sitting down in the kitchen, holding the wet towl onto the back of his head. Why a wet towl and not an ice pack? Should that even be explained? Anyways, Spike was cooking some breakfest for Wilby and Twilight. After awhile, a disgruntled Twilight sat down across from Twilight.

She looked at him, piercing his very soul. "So, want to inform me why you walked in on me when I was showering?"

Wilby had already though of an explanation, said explanation involved throwing someone under the bus... many buses, "I was wanting to take a long needed shower, so I asked Spike where it was" Spike froze from what he was doing. "and he told me that it was upstairs and nothing more, he didn't tell me you were in there."

Twilight glare was then transferred to Spike, "Why didn't you tell him I was taking a shower?"

Spike's eyes was darting around the room, sweat falling from his face. "Why did you throw me under the carriage?!" He yelled at Wilby.

Twilight figured she would deal with him later and she returned her gaze to Wilby, "And why did you continue to stare at me when you saw me?"

Wilby looked sheepish, "Well... I... I was taking the time to study the female anatomy of ponies." He chuckled nervously.

Twilight's gaze did not lighten up, "That's no excuse, you should have immediately closed the door. Not stand there like a pervert! Also if you were going to study the anatomy of ponies, I have books on that."

"Well how was I suppose to know that you were in there. I didn't hear the water running." Wilby said defensively.

"That's because there is a noise cancellation spell placed over the bathroom." She retorted.

Wilby looked at her blankly, "That's pretty stupid that there's a noise cancellation spell on a bathroom."

She blinked and her faced looked like she was in thought. "Okay, I'll take down the spell but that still doesn't mean you're off the hook from staring." She said, pointing a finger at me.

"Yeah yeah, I know... oh, and I want to visit Rarity for two things." Wilby said getting up. "Also, I'm going to take a shower, which was my original plan, by the way."

Spike glared at Wilby, "And why do you want to see Rarity?"

"I want to place an order for clothes and I want to get Rainbow's outfit ready." Wikby explained.

Twilight looked at Wilby, "Outfit? Just what are you planning for Rainbow?"

Wilby snikered, "Oh, you'll see." He said darkly, while heading to the shower.




Wilby's PoV

After I had showered and had breakfest, Twilight, Spike and I went made our way to Rarity's. On the way I spotted a rainbow hanging off a cloud and knew who it was.

"Oh Rainbow! You have a little something something to do." I called out to her.

I hear a groan from the cloud and she came down to where we were. "Fine, let's just get this over with. What do I have to do?"

I grinned at the thought of what she was gonna have to do, "Firs we're going to Rarity's to place an order of clothes for me and a set for you."

She looked confused, "You're gonna get me clothes?" She then put more thought into it and gasped, "I am not dressing up all prissy like!"

"Who said anything about looking prissy? You're gonna look much better than that." I said darkly.

She shuddered a little bit and we continue on our way to the boutique. Once there I went to open the door but a lavender pony stopped me. "You can't just walk into somepony's house without knocking." She scolded me.

I raised an eyebrow, "It's a boutique... anyone can walk in. Just like how anyone can waltz right into your library."

She looked sheepish, "Heh heh, I guess I'm not so use to that yet."

I rolled my eyes and opened up the door to hear the bell go off. I held the door for the others to go through and spotted Rarity coming in to greet us.

"Hello~ did you have a splendid morning so far." She said cheerfully.

"My mornings all ours wonderful when you're here Rarity." Spike gushingly said, making Rarity giiggle.

"Yeah, knowing that you have to do something embarrassing is always great." Rainbow said sarcastically.

Twilight blushed a little bit from what happened when she was in the shower. While I just had a goofy smile and rubbed the back of my head, chuckling nervously.

Rarity raised an eyebrow but disregarded it for the moment. "Well what brings all of you here, if you don't mind me asking?"

I stepped forward, "Well I would actually to put a placement for clothes for me, oh and would like my attire stiched up."

"Oh, of course darling and tell you what, I'll even do it for free! Just in exchange for some fashion ideas from your world."

I chuckled a little bit, "Yeah I was expecting that to be honest."

"Well I'm not the element of generosity for nothing-" She giggled. "-that title fits so well. Now if you'll follow me, I'll get your measurements."

I put my hand up, "Actually, I was hoping that can wait. The other reason we're here is for Rainbow." I said pointing my thumb at her.

Rarity was puzzled, Rainbow was disgruntled, Twilight was annoyed that she didn't know what I had in plan and Spike... Spike was still gushing over Rarity. "Why do you want me to make some clothing for Rainbow?"




No PoV

Wilby simply said, "I'll tell you in secret."

"Ok then, do the rest of mind staying here?" The rest shook they're heads. "Good, come with me Wilby."

Rarity and Wilby disappeared towards the back, which made Spike slightly jealous. All they could hear was murmurs for a little bit, after a while they were greeted with silence. Then they heard Rarity laughing hysterically, "OH YES, that would be absolutely hilarious to watch, it's free as long as I see that!" They heard Rarity yell almost too enthusiastically, making Rainbow all the more scared of what she had to do.

They appeared back into there view, "Then I'll make sure you'll get a front row seat." Wilby said.

"Right then, Rainbow I'm going to have to get your measurements real quick." Rarity said beckoning Rainbow over.

"I have the absolute worst feeling about this." Rainbow said.




Wilby's PoV

Rarity has gotten Rainbow's measurements and went to work on her clothes. Twilight decided it was time to ask me some more questions, mostly about science. I decided to go easy on her and just talk about elements and some of which that humans actually created, she was fascinated by how intelligent humans were. Rainbow on the other hand just been nervous and kept asking me want she had to wear.

After awhile, Rarity has joined us, holding a bag in her hand and giving it to Rainbow, telling her to go change in the bathroom. She hesitantly went to go do that and when she was out of our view, Rarity and I waited for her reaction. Twilight wasn't sure what she was waiting for until she heard it. We all heard the dreadful scream from Rainbow in the bathroom, Rarity is trying to hold in her laugh, Twilight and Spike were worried what she might be wearing, mostly Twilight, and I was waiting to see that good ol outfit once more.

The bathroom door opened and revealed Rainbow in a cheerleader outfit but not any ordinary cheerleader outfit. She was wearing Juliet Starling's cheerleader outfit, with some minor differences. The overall color scheme was a light blue and yellow and instead of "San Romeo Knights" it said "Wonderbolts" on it and it also didn't have the leggings.

"Why do I have to wear... this?!" She complained.

"Well since you want to be a wonderbolts so badly, I was merely thinking that you should show how much you supported them. And what better way to do so then cheer for them." I said, even more glad that I'm wearing baggy pants.

"This is gonna ruin my reputation! I'm never gonna be a Wonderbolt." She wailed.

"Pfft, as if, I'm pretty sure every stallion in the Wonderbolts is gonna want you to join and perhaps some mares that may root for the same team as well." I said, while putting smirking triumphantly.

She sighed, "Let's just get this over with..." She said, as we are made all way out of the boutique.




We made our way towards the center of town, attracting the very few stallions that were nearby, well Rainbow was. We made it to Town Hall where Pinkie was waiting.

"Hey everypony! Dashie, you're looking seeeeexy~." Pinkie said, making Rainbow groan.

"Hey Pinkie, I'm assuming you were waiting here for Skittle's cheer." I said walking over to the three chairs that she pulled out of no where. Rarity soon followed when I reminded her "front row seat."

"Yepperoni, also..." She pulls a megaphone out of her hair. "Everypony that wants to see Rainbow cheer for the Wonderbolts and lost the bet, come to Town Hall."

Almost immediately everypony that lived in Ponyville appeared right in front of Town Hall. Pinkie has also taken upon herself to collect my winnings. "Here you go Wikby, 1289 bits in full!" She said, while handing me a hefty bag.

"Sweet.~" I said, turning my attention to Rainbow. "Double sweet.~"

Pinkie told everyone to quiet down for Rainbow, which they did as they were told. It was so quiet and I was getting impatient. "Cheer already!" I hear a mare yell out.

"What should I even cheer?! I don't know anything about that!" She tried to come up with an excuse.

"Oh yes you do, you use to do it with Gilda." I said to her nonchalantly.

She growled at me, for ruining her excuse. "Fine..."

Before she can start I quickly added, "Do it 10 times, since it's so short."

She mumbled but complied non the less. She began doing her cheer, going through all the motions. Everypony began to cheer for her now, mostly saying "woo," though I noticed that most of the majority that was "wooing" were mares. 'Guess that kinda confirms that there are many more mares than stallions.' I thought before continuing to enjoy this embarrassing/kinky moment. 'I wonder what she would think when I tell her that she has to wear it for the rest of the day.'
> First Q&A
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to the first Q&A,  which I'm not sure how to feel. I'm glad that I got some questions but there all serious.  I at least wanted some questions that I would have had fun to answer, like "Are you a whale?" but I digress. Also remember, none of this is canon, characters can literally do whatever they want to do and everyone has Pinkie's fourth wall breaking ability. Anyways, let the answering of the questions commence!

First question goes to Vadelent-
"Did Luna or Celestia ever stop and think that it was strange that the moment they pulled out their "big gun" that he stopped fighting? Not only that, but did it ever cross their minds that if he stopped and took the time to pose before he got petrified that he might have known what was going to happen and actually wanted to get petrified? And following that logic did they ever stop to conceive the the notion of why? My real question though is what was their reaction after they finally reasoned this out."

Uh... hang on!

"Did Luna or Celestia ever stop and think that it was strange that the moment they pulled out their "big gun" that he stopped fighting? Not only that, but did it ever cross their minds that if he stopped and took the time to pose before he got petrified that he might have known what was going to happen and actually wanted to get petrified? And following that logic did they ever stop to conceive the the notion of why? My real question though is what was their reaction after they finally reasoned this out."

Okay much better, Celestia, Luna, first question is for y'all.

Hm, if you wish to know our reaction when we stoned Wilby, still sorry by the way, I was curious to as why he didn't do anything to stop or escape it.

As for my reaction... I reassured Tia that he was probably going to fire his blade from his sheath again, seeing how his hand was on it. At the time I was glad that we got that over with, knowing that he was able to counter us each time makes you glad you won.

I was also glad at the time that we've protected our ponies from the "evil." I now know not to take ominous advice from ponies that I do-

TIA!... spoilers...

Oh, sorry, heh heh, I forgot you're not that far in the story yet.

Now everyone is gonna be confused, until we get to that point. Anyways, let us move onto the next question.

Second question goes to rockfire8-
"Will the metal dog (i can't recall the name right now) habe a mate?"

His name is Blade Wolf-

Or Wolfie!

-and as for your question, I haven't thought about giving him a mate. I'm not even sure if he can have one, considering he is a robot, though he does for some reason have that... hatch? Whatever it is, it's where his *enter robot penis joke here* is. Maybe he'll have a mate, I'm not sure. I can think of many wolf mates but I think I might let y'all decide if he shall have a mate or not and who it shall be.

The last... six... questions go to Vadelent-
"Why not just chooses both Equestria And ass? Unless somekind of magical compulssion or something I see no reason why not..."

... Wait, I could've had both? Damn it! Curse you stupid hero morales and stuff!

We could still do it you know.

Hm... the next three questions are ones that Yami could answer... okay just a quickie. I'll also have the author add in the sex tag, as well.

Enjoy your booty call, as long as it doesn't interfere the story.

Fourth question-
"I can probably come up with a few answers to this one but I still want to hear what you have to say. Why didn't you have a backlog of tokens after a thousand and some odd years?"

I thought it was inferred that Wilby cannot obtain tokens while he was stoned and inside his inner mind. Though if you want to hear what my answer is, it's that everything in the inner mind is mental, so a physical item, such as someones token could not be obtained. As for why Wilby's token was able to appear was because it was a part of him.

Fifth question-
"You are going to have to define "dark magic" for me because there is a lot of things that are considered "dark magic" and I have a hard time believing you can absorb or ignore them all."

Dark magic as in a literal darker version of magic. Take fire as for example, it has the affinity of, well, fire. Wilby's dark magic is basically him creating the same fire but instead it has a fire and a dark affinity. That is his version of dark magic and as for why dark magic doesn't effect him, let me ask you this. You realize that a fictional character can quite literally do anything as he or she pleases. As long as it's okay in the story and people like it, there is no reason to question that. Though if you really want an answer and since he isn't here, I'll let you in on a little secret.  Magic doesn't effect him at all. That's all I'll say, don't want to spoil the ending, do I?

Sixth question-
" Next question, who all did you "fight" and train with(?) while you were out all that time?"

I believe that would fall in the spoilers category, you'll just have to know your shit and be able to point out every character/item/fighting style used in the story and take a wild guess where it might have come from.

So that's what it feels like... it felt amazing!

I'll say.~ You certainly went pass my expectations..

Oh good, you're back.The rest of the questions are yours.

Yeah yeah, I know.

Seventh question-
""Why did you tell Fluttershy about dinosaurs?" Why did you tell the cute pony girl, the pony girl that is terrified of most dragons about dinosaurs? The dragons, occasional bigger, and mayhap meaner cousins?"

Well not all dinosaurs were mean... I'm pretty sure she'll love the diplodocus, stegosaurus, ankylosaurus, brachiosaurus, parasaurolophus, birkhamisaurus, etc. and I'm sure she'll love some piscivores. I just told her that because dinosaurs are fucking awesome and everyone knows that. And I'm sure that she would like to know that chickens are the closest decedent to dinosaurs.

Eigth question-
"An oddly large portion of the Displaced end up going through somesort of genderbender episode or an out and out permanent(ish) gender transition. Are you going to end up going through such a thing?... or is that too much spoiler?"

Wait, genderbender is becoming a thing. I did not know that... as for your question, all I'll say is that, I've recently played both Bayonettas and I've... gotten some inspiration.

Well that's all the questions I got or that I knew were suppose to be Q&A worthy. The next Q&A will take after Chapter 20 and it will take questions from Chapters 10-19. I've also decided to remove the 20 questions limit because I doubt I'll get that many. And if I do get more, then I'll just eat my own words. I hope you enjoyed the first Q&A.
> Ch.11 - I Don't Know, Here's A Chapter

Wilby's PoV

Everybody enjoyed Rainbow Dash's performance, very much. The best part was when she finished, she immediately had a crowd of ponies chasing her. She flew as fast as possible, Pinkie and I were on our back's, laughing like shit, while Rarity was laughing but not as unlady like as us. Then I noticed something, 'Only mares are chasing Rainbow, well most of 'em are. Kind of ironic that the stallions don't have the balls to go chasing after her but the mares do.'

Anyways after a while, Twilight and Applejack had to ruin the fun and stop the crowd of mares from doing every fangirl's dream. The crowd soon dispersed and Pinkie, Rarity and myself went over to the three, Spike, Fluttershy and Wolf following close behind.

Surprisingly, Fluttershy spoke first, "Wow Rainbow, that was so good, I feel like cheering myself." She a deep breath, "Yaaaay!"

I looked towards Pinkie, "Pinkie, what does the scouter say about her cuteness level?" I said, making Fluttershy 'eep.'

Pinkie, for some reason, had a scouter on, "It's 1006!" She yelled at me.

"You have it on upside down!" I yelled back at her.

Twilight looked at the 'scouter,' "Pinkie, where did you-" She was interrupted by Applejack putting a hand over her mouth.

"Don't." Is all Applejack had to say.

"Yeah don't question her." Rainbow agreed "And Fluttershy... we have to work on your cheer." She said, making me give off a 'ha.'

"Though I must agree with Fluttershy, your performance was spectacular! Wilby, just how did you know she was a cheerleader before?" Rarity asked me. I simply gave her a bored look. "Oh... right." She remembered that this was a show.

"Speaking of 'chearleading,' can I take this off now? It's degrading." Rainbow asked me, with an annoyed attitude.

I smiled evilly, "You can take it off but that is the only thing you can wear for the rest of the day."

She thought about what I said then blushed, "On second thought, I'll rather keep it on for the rest of the day."

I then turned my attention to Wolf, "So Wolf, how was your stay at Fluttershy?"

"Fluttershy informed her animals that I am not a predator and will not attack them, unless provoked. Though the white bunny was attempting to claim that he had higher authority over me, he failed miserably." He responded.

"I ought to make rabbit stew out of him." I muttered under my breath.

Fluttershy chimed in, "Overall, he was a really good doggy, even though the animals didn't really like him."

"Hey throw him a bone, he does look very threatening." I replied. "Well then, I guess it's back to the boutique to get my measurements."

"Oh, of course darling, well shall we?" Rarity asked rhetorically.

"You go on ahead, Ah gotta go run the stand." Applejack said, heading off to her stand.

"I gotta go tend the animals and also make sure they're ok with Mr. Wolf staying at the cottage." Fluttershy leaving our group as well.

"And I'm gonna go lock myself in my room." Rainbow said, flying off immediately. I didn't really care that she wasn't in public, I got what I wanted to see.

"Well I guess it's just us five then." Twilight said, to which I pointed out that Pinkie was nowhere to be found. "Correction, four." We then began our way back to the boutique.

"No matter, more of seeing Wilby without clothes on, for us." Rarity said, making me and Twilight blush slightly and Spike look at me with jealously.

I then thought of a comeback, "Gee, if you wanted to see me without clothes, you could've just asked."

She laughed, "Oh, you and I are gonna have so much fun." She responded, to which I didn't know how to respond to. We continued our way back to the boutique.




We finally made it back to the boutique and once we closed the door to the boutique, Rarity turned to me and said something, tha I heard in slow motion. "Strip..."

"Umm..." 'I need an adult.'

"I'm going to take your measurements." She added.

"Less awkward." I began to do hesitantly.

"Wait, why do you need him to strip?! Rainbow didn't need to." An alarmed Twilight said.

"Oh relax darling, Wilby will keep his undergarments on. As for why I didn't have Rainbow take her clothing off, she wasn't wearing baggy clothing like Wilby here." She reassured Twilight.

I was wearing nothing but my boxers after there short conversation. I had a slight blush on me, mostly because I never thought I would be in my boxers with two attractive mares and a jealous dragon.

"Uh, were gonna head back to the library." Twilight said while blushing and motioned for Spike to leave us be. Before Spike left he gave me the 'I'm watching you' gesture.

Rarity was fanning herself, "Alright then... more for me then."

I was beginning to sweat a little, 'Please no Little Miss Rarity.'

"Well I guess we should get started." She said getting out her measuring tape. I thought she would be using her magic but she instead used her hands, to which I can guess why.

"Just hurry up." I said annoyed.

"And where did all that confidence, from before, go darling?" She said, gliding her hands over me with the tape.

"..." I decided to not answer that.

She huffed, "It's rude to now answer a lady's question."

"Sorry but I never thought I would get in a situation like this." I answered her.

"Well consider yourself lucky, then." She said, giggling.

After awhile, she had finally finished getting my measurements and told me that I can put my clothes back on. I put my clothes back on and said my goodbyes. Right before I left however, she said one last thing, "Wilby... you would make a great coltfriend... to any mare."

I was slightly surprised but replied, "Thanks." And with that I left to go head back to the library.




I was on my way to the library when I noticed Fluttershy and Blade Wolf walking about.

"Hey, I thought you two would be back at the cottage?" I said carefully, to not scare Fluttershy.

They both turned towards me and Fluttershy spoke first, "Well we were at my cottage but Pinkie popped up and told me to bring Mr. Wolf to the library, she siad it was urgent."

I then realized what was happening, "So that explains why the streets are barren." I said nonchalantly.

Fluttershy then looked nervous, "Wait, just what's about to happen?... If you don't mind me asking."

"Don't worry about it, we'll just continue our way to the library." I said to her.

"Oh, okay, well if it's nothing to worry about then we should all be fine." Fluttershy said cutely.

"I still do not understand the pink one." Wolf deciding to voice his opinion about the 'pink one.'

"It's best that you don't try to understand her. If you do try to understand her, just know that it will be like dividing by zero." I said in a way he might understand.

"If that is the case, then I will not question her. I also do not find your joke of 'dividing by zero' funny." He accepted to not attempt to do it.

We continued our way to the library to see that no light was coming from it. Fluttershy was a little hesitant but I convinced her that nothing would happen. Once she was ready, I went to open the door and when I did, I almost went deaf...

"SURPRISE!"
> Ch.12 - Party!
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

"SURPRISE!" All the hiding ponies screamed out.

Immediately Fluttershy grabbed onto me for saftey, which made me blush a little. Wolf didn't really show a reaction, lucky dog. Everyone then began to talk with one another, enjoying the party after the 'suprise'.

Pinkie poofed right in front of us, "Were you surprise, huh, huh, HUH?!"

"Yeah... I'm suprised, alright..." I said but it was mostly because of Fluttershy latching onto me.

"And what about you Wolfie?" Pinkie said moving down to his level.

"I was not design to be surprised, besides I seen everyone before the lights went on with augment mode."

"Challenge accepted." Is all she said before leaping out of existence.

"Oh oh... this can only end in disaster. And Fluttershy, you can let go now." As I said that, she immediately let go of me and backed away.

Her face blushing profusely, "Oh, um, uh... I'm sorry!" She looked terribly embarrassed.

"It's ok, nothing to be ashamed about. You were just startled that's all." I said, trying to comfort her.

"Oh, well... it was pretty scary. Still though-" I cut her off.

"Don't worry about Fluttershy. If I didn't mind at all, then don't worry about it. Now enjoy yourself, I'm gonna go mingle." I left, not giving her a chance to retort or be even more sorry.

I began my walk through the ponies, when I saw Wolf taking to, who I can assume is Dr. Whooves. Well... more of him asking Wolf questions and tinkering with him with something. 'What was it called again, the sonic screwdriver? I don't know, I never watched the show, though I maybe *mind cough mind cough* will *mind cough mind cough* look for his tardis.'.

I was then confronted by an tan earth pony with a rose colored mane, she wore a rose colored dress. "Hi-" she looks at Pinkie's invitation "-Will-by, my name's Roseluck and I just wanted to say 'welcome to Ponyville' and you're always welcomed to my shop. She introduced herself.

"Um, hi Roseluck and it's pronounced Will-be." I explained to her.

"Oh my, I'm sorry, I just though that it was-" I seem to have a thing for cutting of ponies.

"There's no need to make a big deal out of it. It happened before, so you're not the first one." I calmed her down.

"But still, I never mispronounced somepony's name."

"Well I'm no pony, I can assure you that. I mean some of the names back where I come from can get ridiculous."

She giggled, "Like what?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Welp, I was hoping you wouldn't ask because now I can't think of any for the life of me."

She laughed a little, "Then perhaps I'll just ask again when you can remember some. Oh and be sure to stop by my shop, I would love to see a new face at my shop."

"In that case I'll make sure to stop by soon."

She walked off but I noticed that she was swaying her hips. She looked back at me with a mischievous smile and a bedroom eyes, she then winked at me and continued to walk off. 'I guess she likes exotic things...'

I then continued my way saying hello to the ponies, untill I bumped into a mint green unicorn mare. 'Oh no, Lyra!'

She was wearing tight blue jeans and a vertical stripe shirt of mint and white. She turned to me and her eyes glistened for a moment. "Oh, you're Wilby, the human living in Ponyville. I'm Lyra, just an ordinary unicorn who plays the lyre." She chuckled nervously. What Lyra is thinking, 'Oh my Celestial, the human is talking to ME! Come on Lyra, play it cool, though let him think you're crazy.'

"Well hello Lyra and yes, I guess the 'the human living in Ponyville' title does work, but you can just call me Wilby." 'Still not sure if carzy or not *enter Fry is skeptical meme here*,'

Then a another tan earth pony mare came in, only she was waering a dark blue dress and had dark blue and pink mane. "Lyra whose the stallion you're talking to." The mare said not getting a good look at me.

"It's the human I was telling you about!" She yelled quietly.

The mare examined me closely, all the while I gave her an unamused look. She then handed Lyra a bag of bits and proceeded to introduce herself. "Hello, I'm Bon-bon and I just learned that my friend here isn't crazy."

'I'm now 78% sure she's crazy. "Hello Bon bon, I'm Wilby and it's a pleasure to meet you." I said to which I put my hand out to shake.

She was about to take it but Lyra intercepted her, "Sorry but I just gotta see these hands." She dragged my hand. towards her.

"Don't you have your own hand!" I said with the agitation being detected in my tone. Bon bon agreeing with me as well.

"Sorry but I just want to see how the texture of human hands feel, so bad. And everything else, that I'm sure that we'll all enjoy." What she meant by that I can only guess one thing and it ain't happening.

"What do you mean 'we'll all' enjoy and enjoy what." Bon bon questioned her 'friend'.

"It involves us three and the bed." Lyra said nonchalant, STILL studying my hand.

"WHAT?!" Bon bon and I said, we then looked at each other, our faces blushing.

Welp, escape plan Alpha is now a go. I reclaimed my hand back from the human fetish pony, "Nice meeting you two, gotta go meet other ponies, bye!" I said quickly and disappeared from their sight.

"... Okay, maybe I would have enjoyed it." Bon bon agreed, making Lyra squeel triumphantly.

I have gotten away from the mental patient and Bon bon. 'Aw, I can't be too mad at Lyra. I especially loved her in that one fic where she learns she was a human. Too bad I can't remember what it's called.' I thought myself, while subconsciously greeting ponies. Also, is it just me or are the mares, other than the main 6, really horny. Is that considered a good a thing or a bad thing... I'll accept it as a good thing, until estrus, if that happens.

"Hey so you're the new guy in town." An all too familiar voice called out. I turned towards the source and find an alabaster unicorn mare with an electric blue mane, she wore a cut off, grey tank top showing of her cleavage and her midriff, she wear very tight, cut off jeans, showing much off her legs and of course, purple shades.

*Wilby.exe is crashing, rebooting, coming up with an retort, initiate.* "Uuuuuhhhhh..." *Retort has failed, Wilby.exe has crahed, would you like to send a report?*

She laughed, "What? My mad looks broke your brain or something? I don't blame you, doesn't take much for me to brain kill a guy." It was at this point, the mare's friend had joined in on the conversation.

"Vinyl, are you bothering Ponyville's newest resident?" A grey earth pony mare with an black mane, wearing an elegant black dress, said.

*Brain stability is now at 50%, Wilby.exe is able to act. Beginning introduction protocol, initiate.* "Uh, sorry 'bout that, zoned out for a second." I chuckled nervously.

"Or you were just admiring sexiness at its finest." Vinyl said putting her arm over me, making it all the more tempting to stare at her cleavage.

"Excuse Vinyl, she can be a little perverted at times, but she is a good friend." She said, she then sticked her hand out, "I'm Octavia Melody, by the way."

Vinyl let go of me, while I took Octavia's hand, "It's nice to meet you Octavia, I'm Wilby Hinojosa."

Vinyl was next to speak, "Wilby? That's sound like a cool name, not as cool as mine mind ya. As for my name, I'm Vinyl Scratch or you can call me by my stage name, DJ PON-3." She said with much enthusiasm.

"Nice to meet you too, Vinyl." I said, trying to keep my eyes directed on her face and not her breast, no matter how tempting.

"So Wilby, how are you enjoying your stay in Ponyville, so far?" Octavia questioned.

"I'm really enjoying myself, made some new friends and got a ton of bits and gotten Rainbow in that outfit." I explained to her.

"Aw man, you got her in that outfit?! Nice,~ too bad she isn't here, I would've loved to had some with her." Vinyl said.

"What kind of fun are we talking about here?" I said with an raised eyebrow.

"The very fun one." She explained.

*Wilby.exe is now fully operational, switching to perverted mode.* "In that case, you wouldn't mind if I joined in on the fun, would you." I said, suggestively.

"Hoho, a 180? I didn't expect that and to answer your question... I would really like it if did join in." She said seductively.

Octavia sighed, "And of course you're just as dirty as Vinyl."

"Sorry Octavia, my personality kind of changes to suit the people I'm around, it's hard to explain." I explained to her.

"Really? Well then, sorry for judging you then. I guess Vinyl can influence others."

"Hey, why are we still standing around talking? We should be partying!" Vinyl said, apparently, she wasn't listening to that small bit.

"Hell yeah, when it's time to party, we party hard!" I yelled out, getting a 'woo' from everpony.

"Hey I like that, I'll think I'll use it." Vinyl said.

And so we partied hard like I said. It was a special party to me, mostly because it was my first 'Pikie Party' and I was sure manybmore were to come.




No one's PoV

"Hmph, so he's the one. He doesn't look that tough." A mysterious figure said outside in the shadows of Ponyville.

"He has not gotten use to his powers, his true power. He will get stronger." A disembodied voice said to the mysterious figure.

"Then I will wait. I wish to see what he is truly capable of, then I will end him." The mysterious figure said, before leaving. The last thing to see of the mysterious figure was some kind of gold glistening where it's face is.

"And we shall see whether he will be able to last that long." The disembodied voice was all it said, before everything went quiet.




Who is this mysterious figure and what kind of threat will he be for our hero. Will Wilby place Vinyl Scratch on top of his 'to do list'? Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z Ka- wait... SHIT! I mean Shadow Warrior.

Wilby's PoV

It's been three days since the party, not much had happened. Twilight asked me more about my world, I helped Fluttershy out with the animals, she was surprised that her animals liked me... except for the white devil. I wasn't too sure on going to Rose Luck's shop and I want to keep my distance from Lyra. Rarity gave me some clothes, which thankfully wasn't too extravagant, just some simple shirts and jeans, made to my liking, loose and comfy. But the entire time I've been here, I never felt something like this.

I've awoken feeling hungry, except... it felt different. I went through my morning routine, shower and clothes, simple right. But I still had this craving, I went to the kitchen and saw Twilight getting ready to ask me more questions and... the delicious floating chicken- I mean Spike. I answered Twilight's qustions absentmindly, I just couldn't help but stare at the chicken- I mean Scootaloo- I mean-

"Wilby, is something wrong?" Twilight finally noticing the staring.

"Hmm, what, who, where, oh...No, nothing's wrong." I answered, gaining my senses back.

"Dude, you've been staring at me nonstop, right when you came in here." Spike complained.

"I'm... just hungry, that's it! Nothing wrong here!" I said, while faking a laugh.

Thankfully they both disregarded it and continued whwt they were doing. With my will power, I focused on Twilight and her questions, while Spike continued making pancakes. When the pancakes were done, Spike given us our plates. Twilight was happily eating her pancakes but I... I didn't touch them. They weren't.... meeeeaaaat.

"Aren't you going to eat your pancakes?" Spike asked.

"I... I am hungry..." I told him.

"Then why don't you eat? It's not that complex."

"I know but... I just have this craving for meat." I said looking at him.

"Wilby... what are you thinking?" Twilight caught me staring at Spike when I said meat.

'What do I do, what do I do? Um... what would Yamcha do?'



'Uh, what would Goku do?'




Goku quickly said to Gohan, "I want to eat your dragon."




"I uh... want... to eat your..." 'Wait a minute, I can't say that.' "Dragon." 'Damn it! I said it anyways.'

"WHAT?!" They both yelled out, which Spike immediately ran out of the room.

"Ugh, I can explain?" I said laughing nervously.

Twilight had a really irritated look plastered on her face, "Just try to explain that."

"Well, while I'm still rational. You see, a human can't... really survive without meat. It's a necessity, to such a point, organs will start-..." I put my hand to my chin and thought about it. "Fuck, I don't know. I only know one person that tried to go without meat and they ended up in a coma. A short, but still. And humans do desperate things when they're desperate. Right now, I'm desperate and to me, Spike was chicken. A juicy one at that."

"Okaaay, I don't like how you see Spike like that and that's interesting to know that humans work like that. But I'm getting off topic..." She took a deep breath, "I guess, we should go out to get you some... meat." She said hesitantly.

"Dibs on Fluttershy's sweet, delicious fish!" I said almost too enthusiastically.

"Oh yeah, some of her animals do eat fish. I'm sure she'll help."

And so we got up and left, leaving everything for Spike to clean up, as per usual.




The short trip to Fluttershy's was uneventful... for Twilight. I had to keep my mind sane while we walked. Also when we passed by a flower shop, I could've sworn I felt someone staring at me. I chose to ignore it. Anyways, we soon made it to Fluttershy's cottage. We saw her feeding her birds, though Twilight interrupted.

"Hey Fluttershy, can we ask a favor?" She asked.

"Hm, oh, hi Twilight, hi Wilby. And of course you can ask a favor." She said happily.

"Well you see, Wilby here needs... meat." When she said meat, Fluttershy got a look of worry. "So we came here to get him some fish."

Fluttershy felt more at eased when they were just here for some fish, then she remembered something. "Oh um... Sorry but, Mr. and Mrs. bear just ate the last of the fish... sorry."

Upon hearing that, both Twilight and Fluttershy turned towards me to see my head looking down.

"Um... Wilby?" Twilight said while coming closer towards me, "Are you gonna be alright-"

"WE'RE GOING FISHING!" I yelled out pointing a finger up into the sky.

"... In the clouds?" Fluttershy said. I lowered my arm towards the Everfree Forest. "Oh... do you mind if I come along, I need to get more fish for the animals that also eat meat."

"Of course you can come along, though don't we need a fishing rod?" Twilight posed a good point... although.

"Don't worry, I got a plan." I said with much confidence.

"And what plan would that be?" She responded.

"Oh... you'll see." I chuckled mischievously.

She huffed at me mostly because I don't give her the full picture unless it's something about humans. Anyways, we went into the forest, Fluttershy leading the way to a pond. But then, the question dawned on me.

"Wait a minute... How come the Everfree is sometimes the worst place to be and other times, it's just a normal walk through the woods?" I asked the two since this question always bothered me back on my world.

"Umm... I don't know, I only lived here for a short time." Twilight responded.

"Well... I'm not too sure myself. Sorry for not knowing." Fluttershy apologized.

I put a hand to my chin, "Then why is this such a normal occurrence..."

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a wild Pinkie appeared from a bush and quickly said, "Plot convenience!" and disappeared back into the bush. Her sudden appearance scared Twilight and Fluttershy and caused them to hide behind me. Though she just gave me the short answer.

"Ah, thank you Pinkie. I guess that answer would suffice for now." I said calmly.

Twilight was flabbergasted by my reaction to the sudden Pinkie. "How are you so calm with Pinkie's sudden appearance, how did she even do that, how does that make any sense?!"

I looked at her and said, "Twilight, I wasn't going to mess with the events of what happens, except for a certain few. But whatever you do, don't try to understand Pinkie, if you try to, you'll be spending your time at the hospital."

"Okay... but you seem to understand her, so how?" She questioned me, Fluttershy also seemed interested.

"Short answer is, I don't. I'm just simply on her level."

She was very confused, "What does that even mean?!  On her level, what level?"

"Exactly!" I love messing with her mind, maybe I'll try break it later.

"THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!" Her rage almostbeing broken.

"Um, Twilight we're here." Fluttershy intervened.

"What? How long have we been here?" Twilight asked.

"A little while, I've been trying to tell you but... I was a little scared from the yelling, sorry." She replied.

"It's ok Fluttershy, I understand that Twilight was scaring you." I comforted.

"Hey!" Twilight said but decided to not argue against me, she sighed "So, how are we going to get the fish?"

"Well, you're going to use your magic to pull out the fish." I said bluntly.

She gave me an irritated look, "Can't you use magic too?"

"Yes, but I can't really use your type of magic. Unless you want me to go Emperor Palpatine on the fishies." I said while walking towards the pond.

"Who's Emperor Palpatine?" Twilight asked.

"All I will say is that it evolves lightning." When I reached the edge of the pond, I squated and looked at the delicious fish swimming.

Twilight sighed, "Ugh fine, I'll catch some fish."

Before she did that, Fluttershy said something vital, "Um, I can just ask the fishies to give us their deceased."

"Fluttershy, I know that you love animals and you know that I love animals as well. But you must understand... The circle of life, whoa, I don't know the lyrics TO THIS SONG~!" I sang it in it's tune.

"Circle of life?" They both questioned.

"Animals give two kinds of life, they give birth to their young and they are killed for others to live. That's the basics." I answered as shortly as I could.

"Well... I guess but still-" I cut Fluttershy off for  the better.

"Nature is beautiful and cruel, no one can argue against it. Now, Twilight get with magics already, I'm hungry hungry hippos." I said while still looking at the fish.

"Ugh fine, it would be easier if you helped but I guess unicorn magic is unique." She said while focusing her magic to pick the fish.

"Unicorn magic isn't unique, alicorns can use it as well." I countered her statement.

"Well, yes but there's only two alicorns so-"

"There's three alicorns, you forgot Cadence."

She lost focus, "Oh yeah, how can I forget about my foal-sitt-"

I cut her off again, "No Twilight, we aren't allowed to talk about her, not yet anyways."

"What, how come I'm not allowed to talk about her?"

I pointed at her, "Just nooooooo."

"Ugh fine." She returned to trying to catch some fish.




After many fails, Twilight got the hang of catching the fish. She caught about 16 of them, I decided to only take two of the fish leaving Fluttershy 14. She wanted me to have more but I denied politely each time. We continued our way back to the cottage.

"Hmm now should I eat this raw or cooked." I said while holding up two of the fish in my right hand. I was holding most of the fish in my left arm while Twilight held some fish within her magic.

"Isn't cooking them a little gruesome?" Twilight asked, both her and Fluttershy seeming sick by the idea.

I looked at them with a raised eyebrow, "Sushi it is."

We soon made it back to Fluttershy's cottage and we gave her cut of the fish, to which she stored away in her fridge for later. Twilight and I said our goodbyes and went back to the library.

Once inside, we saw Spike cleaning up, though when he saw me, he got a look of worry. "You're not going to eat me, are you?"

"Nah, these fish should suffice... for now." I said, while bouncing the fish by their tails in my hand. "Also, if you don't want to be sick, don't come in the kitchen. I'm gonna skin these fish and cut them up."

"Ugh you didn't had to tell us." Spike said, looking a little green.

"Well I just continue reading through these books." Twilight said, not worrying about what I'm doing.

With that, I went into the kitchen to prepare the fish. It's not that hard to make sushi. (I'm sure no one wants to hear it how to go through it step by step.)

I enjoyed the fish very much, it was much more fresh than the ones on Earth. After I was done eating, I went and told Twilight that I was done for today and was hitting the hay early. We said our good nights and I went to my room. I stripped down to my pants and went to my comfy bed. What I didn't realize was that this dream was going to be very different.

Wilby's PoV

OPTIONAL MUSIC

I descended onto the platform, a very different platform. For some reason this platform was completely whited out. Though... it didn't feel empty. I dismissed it for later, I mean what can possibly go wrong! I thought of a place I wanted to go but no door appeared.

"Huh... guess I won't be dismissing this for later." I also just now noticed that I was wearing my clothes when I first entered this world but I didn't really care, they were comfy, though I didn't have my sword or throwing knifes. I began walking around the platform waiting for something to happen but alas, nothing did. "Welp, what does one do in this situation. Maybe Luna is pranking me?"

"This is no prank..." A... voiceless? Words appeared, that I heard inside my head.

I spun around to see that a whited out door appeared. I was confused to what was going on. "Yami?" I called out.

"Proceed..." It appeared again.

'Okaaay... I sort of prefer the words of wisdom than this creepy thing.' I thought before heading towards the door. Once I was close enough, I hesitantly opened it. A blinding light appeared, making me shield my eyes from it. I felt everything around me change instantly, when I opened my eyes back up, I saw that I was in the at the entrance to the Everfree Forest. I turned around to see if Ponyville was behind me though, I saw was white. No buildings, no ponies, no sky, it was all blank.

"I guess I just... follow the path." I ventured into the forest hoping to find whatever it is I'm looking for. "Hell, I don't even know what I'm looking for." I said putting my hands in my pockets, cruising down the path.

After a while, I finally found someting out of the ordinary... well, more out of the ordinary. I found another blank space but it was much smaller. Everything around it was normal, so I wasn't so sure what this was suppose to be. I tried to remember what was on the path in the Everfree. I got closer to investigate further but it suddenly turned all black. I jumped back from the sudden change and stared in awe at it.

Then all of a sudden, it starts to slowly rise, a figure was coming out. Two limbs appeared from the black tar, grabbing onto the floor. A horrific groaning could be heard from it, while a head was trying to form. I backed up as it progressively came out. I turned around to make a run from it, only to see a blank canvas. I turned around toward it to see, that it was fully out of the ground, twitching. I couldn't tell what it possibly was nor did I have time to tell when it came at me with blinding speed.

I was knocked to the ground with it on top of me. It slowly began to stick to me, covering up. I tried with all my force to break free but alas, it was fruitless. Before I was covered up completely I screamed, closing my eyes before it consumed me.

After being completely enclosed in it, it disappeared. I slowly opened my eyes to see that I was on the blank platform again. I got up slowly, enjoying the silence in this place. When I was finally up I noticed that this place feels different now, that it wasn't the same one from before. After I had finally relaxed, another blank door appeared, which made me a bit frightened.

"Proceed..." The words appeared again.

I looked up at nothing in particular, with an angry expression. "Like hell I'm going through another fucking door. I'll just play the waiting game."

"Unfortunately for you..." It paused. The door disappeared and the platform began cracking. "I don't have to wait..." The platform shattered beneath me and I quickly began to plummet.

I crossed my arms, "Pfft, like I care." Then the blank door appeared directly below me, fully opened. "... Fuck yooooooouuuuuuu." Is all I said before going through the door, it closing behind me.

I awoke to see that I was in Ponyville, except it looked like Discord was here. Everything was in complete disarray, houses were upside down, the ground was striped and poke-dotted. I wouldn't have been able to tell that it was Ponyville if it wasn't for Twilight's place. The sky was still blank but at least I had more freedom to move were I wanted to go.

But before I could a completely white form appeared from nowhere and floated down towards me. I could only tell that it had one pair of legs and arms, and a head, it had no distinct features other than those. It was floating above the ground just looking at my direction, it was a few meters away from me. Then just like before, it became shrouded in black and began to twitch, just it twitching freaked me out.

It started to fly towards me, not as fast as before, giving me time to move out of the way. I then did a mental facepalm for forgetting that I have magic. I moved a safe distance from it and raised my hand to fire lightning at him, only nothing came out. In my moment of confusion, it came towards me, placing it's hand on my head. I shut my eyes preparing for the worst but nothing happened. I opened up my eyes to see that it was gone. I looked around to confirm my suspensions but to no avail, it was actually gone.

Suddenly, I began coughing uncontrollably, I brought up my hand to my mouth. When it stopped for a little, I looked at my hand to see that same black tar. My eyes widened and the goo forcibly exited my mouth and onto me. I could feel tears falling, unable to breath, I fell backwards, slowly suffocating. The tar covering me completely, to disappear once more.

STOP MUSIC

I regained consciousness and opened my eyes once more to see a blood stained platform. I got up to see the entire thing, what I saw surprised me a bit. It was a mural of... me, except I wasn't weiding my sword and my hands looked more claw like and my hair was somewhat spiky, I also looked angrier. I was a little off put by it, I also noticed that my side were a little bit heavier. I looked down to see my sword re-equipped, thankfully but no throwing knifes.

I walked forward, wanting to get a better look at the mural and think of a reason why it's like this. I gotten to the face and I just didn't know how to feel. To see myself angered... I always hated to get angry, I felt like a different person when I get mad. I sighed, closing my eyes, I remember the few times I've gotten angry... when I let myself loose. I open my eyes up and quickly spun around to see somebody and not just another one of those damn things. The person was wearing a cloak or to be more specific, the cloak from Organization XIII.

"Who are you?" I asked the person.

"My name doesn't matter..." hearing those words, only with sound this time, telling me it was male. Either way, it put me on edge, to know he was behind those things. "All you should know is that I want to be in control..."

I placed my right hand over my sword in preparation for an attack. "What do you mean?"

"I want to be in control..." He repeated. "I want to be in control... I want to be in control... I want to be in control... I want to be in control..." His eyes then shined yellow and red from under his hood. "I want to be in control..." Is what he said before falling backwards into the abyss.

I was confused as to why he fell backwards but then the entire platform shooked, and then it shooked once more. Something big was coming up. The platform kept shaking until a giant black paw with giant purple claws, came from my left and grabbed hold of the platform.

OPTIONAL MUSIC

Another claw came form the opposite side and finally the head appeared. It was like a lion's head with a pair of purple horns, a fiery purple mane, four tendrils coming from it's back and four pairs of eyes, all the left ones glowing yellow and the right ones glowing red. It reared back and let out an ear-piercing roar, showing that it has a TON of teeth and two snake like tongues.

I pulled out my sword and prepared for battle, it immediately swept a claw at me, to which I jumped back. I then tried to attack it's paw but it quickly moved back. It lashed forward to bite me or in this case, swallow me. I again jumped back to my 'safe area,' I tried attacking him once more but it moved back. We both knew this was going to go nowhere and unfortunately for me I couldn't do anything about it.

It sprouted huge bat-like wings but instead of flying off, it lifted the entire platform and threw it up with me on it. I luckily embedded my sword into the platform and held on for dear life. The beast reappeared and disappeared many times, mostly do to the structure spinning. When the structure finally stopped and began to plummet back down but when the beast came back into view, it had a giant ball of flames forming in it's mouth. It fired it, luckily it didn't hit me spot on but the platform shattered into pieces.

The shattered pieces were all spread out, standing in place, with me on one of them. I was a little hurt from the explosion but nothing too bad. I looked to see the beast flying towards me, seeing this I jumped to the closest piece and continued to jump from piece to piece. The beast flew up to my level and let out another roar. It then began swiping wildly at where I was, I kept jumping from piece to piece thinking of a way to take this thing down. The beast then spun around, it's tail oversized tail hitting me, knocking me away from the shattered pieces. 

Luckily for me, a long trail of the platform appeared and 'caught' me. I got up just in time to jump out of the way of the beast biting down. I chose the best plan of action... GTFO. I sheath my sword and put all my energy into running the long trail. The beast lagging behind, eating the trail. Why it didn't just come after me, is beyond me and I don't really care. I kept running, looking back every now and then to see how far back it is. It was very far back until it got fed up with chomping down on the trail, it let a roar and created another ball of fire and released it. Seeing this pushed me to run even faster, though it was plowing right through the trail.

Finally the fireball was just about to hit me, so I pulled my sword out and tried to block the massive ball with my sword. My sword was absorbing it, albeit slowly, until the beast appeared over the fireball and crunched on it causing it to explode. The explosion sent me careening off the trail, only for it to appear once more underneath me as the original platform. I landed hard and I was sure my sword flew off somewhere. I was going to get up, only to be grabbed by it's tendrils, holding onto my limbs. It brought me up to it's mouth, which it opened wide, creating another fireball to end me.

STOP MUSIC

I closed my eyes and awaited my death, only to hear what sounded like magic being fired elsewhere. The magic caused the beast to let go of me and it started to whither away slowly. It was flailing about roaring in pain until it finally disappeared into nothingness and the mural returning to it's original color and pose.

I looked up to see that it was Luna who saved me, not only that but hair was ethereal now. She ran towards me and kneeled down and placed my body onto her lap.

"Are you ok Wilby?" She asked worriedly.

"Y-yeah... just glad you came." I answered her, albeit weakly.

"Just looking out for a friend." She said smiling. "But I must admit, I never seen a nightmare actually hurt somepony, let alone almost killed them."

I began to sit up on my own, "Yeah, at least I hope it was a nightmare."

She gave me a puzzled look, "What do you-" Suddenly the entire place began to shake. "Oh no, you're being woken up. We'll talk tomorrow night." Is all she said before I woke up.




"Wilby!" I heard.

"Wilby!" I slowly began to wake up.

"Wilby!" I heard Twilight say for the third time.

"Ugh, what?" I said sleepily.

"WHO DO I GIVE THE TICKET TO?!" She yelled out.

Hey everyone, this is going to be the last update for a long time. My reason being... I'm having some serious family troubles and I can't take it anymore. Because of this, I'm going to be moving in with my father. This might not seem like a problem but, my dad doesn't have Wi-Fi, so I can't really write a story. It saddens me that I won't be able to continue the story... but this doesn't mean that the story is ending prematurely, hopefully I'll be able to get back onto working on it. But for the time being, I'm placing the story under hiatus, I hope you all understand...
