The trio of destruction

Ch.1: First impressions, always goes smoothly… No, not really.

(Carolus Rex, Location Unknown…)




“Ow…. What the fuck?” I whined as the pain began to make itself notable throughout my entire body. Getting myself up, dusting off the dirt, I looked around and I seemed to have created a crater of sorts….

…. In the middle of nowhere….

“Fuck me.” I growled quietly to myself. If all this dust and dirt is of any indication, I’m smack-damned in the wastelands. Jumping up and out of there, I looked about to see if there was a town or any form of civilisation.

So far, nothing.

“Well, shit. Now I’m not even sure if I’m even in Equestria… Sure as Hell doesn't feel like it.” Maybe it was the crash that messed up my head. I mean, sure, it might still be Equestria. While at the same time, no, it isn’t. “Is this even my Equestria anymore…” Well, no point in standing here mooping about it. Spreading my wings out, stretching and popping a few joints in them. I took to the air and started flying towards the Everfree Forest.

This may be a different Equestria all together, but that forest remains the same. It’s the only place I can ever call home now….



PoV: Volburaal Nahlii
Location: Ponyville


Today has been good so far, managed to stop a crazy psychopath from another world not to long ago and everything has been slowly going back to normal-ish now that I've decided to stay in this world.

Now, I'm reading a history book to learn a little bit of the past. I wore some camo cargo pants and a shirt with the words ‘Bitch! I'm adorable!’ and a caricature of Vegeta from the show I've seen in my time on Earth.

I then felt a large disturbance in the veil between worlds.

“Twilight! I'll be out for a while!” I shouted at the lavender princess.

“Why?” I heard Her ask behind me, scaring the hell out of me. I turned around to look at her.

“The thing that separates Dimensions was breached, or more accurately someone broke it but I'm not sure if it was on purpose or by accident.” I said to her.

“Alright but make sure you don't come back in pieces again.” She said as she walked away.

“That I hope.” I said as I snapped my fingers and teleported close to the anomaly. Once I appeared in the location, I took a look at my surroundings.

“I hate it when shit like this happens.” I sighed to myself as I flew up to look for it.

I flew around a couple for a couple of minutes and finally spotted an actual equine alicorn. This one was male, no mistake, he was wearing a red, sleeveless, synthetic-looking leathered, overcoat, with a black singlet underneath it, and black leathery pants. I’ll give him some credit, dude got good taste and style.

But still...

“Hey! What's the big idea trying to rip the Veil?” I asked him as I landed behind him. As I closed my wings I began walking up to him.

“Who’s asking?” He answered me with another question of his own, before turning to face me. Only for him to look at me in shock. “What the… You’re… Wait a minute.” His look of shock changed dramatically to a face filled with suspicion and an intent to kill if proven hostile.

“OK, let me revise that question: what the fuck are you, really?” Wait for it. “Because since when do Equestrians wear a shirt that only Humanity knows where it came from?” and there it is.

“Congrats on figuring it out, didn't think anything would get pass my disguise but oh well.” I said as I was soon covered in a torrent of black fire. Once the fire was gone, my disguise was gone along with it.

“So, that's what you are?” He said as he walked around me, being mindful not to do something he’ll regret. “In a sense, you seem to remind me of Discord. Yet you’re more than what he’ll ever be.”

“That's because I'm his older brother. But unlike him being spirit of chaos, I am Chaos incarnate, created by accident but raised to cast judgments on countless worlds.” I said to him.

“Created? I’m guessing the All-Father has something to do with this then. Not that there’s anything wrong with Chaos…”

“Dad tried to make unique peaceful worlds and had contained all chaos, apparently him containing all the chaos had made me. At first he had taken care of me like a mortal father would to his child, he then saw that not having chaos takes the uniqueness out of everything, so He began teaching me to use my powers wisely.” I said as I made some lawn chairs appear and sat down on one.

“Of course it would take the fun out of everything else. I mean, what is Order, without Chaos? One cannot survive without the other. Isn’t that the absolute Truth?” He said as he came to sit next to me, just some distances from me.

“So, explain why you've ripped the veil, which I've fixed just a few weeks ago mind you, and be quick before I decide to send you to the Ausul dimension.” I said, making a mug of cider appear in my hands.

“In all honesty, I have no idea what happened. You sure you fixed it properly? Besides, what’s the reason for me to do such an absurd thing?” He told me.

“Shits and giggle, I don't know. The ones before you said it was Dad's fault, to which I agreed as I saw his trollish smirk. I had to explain why there was a Biped Dragon, A demonic pegasus and an Alicorn Kirin to Twilight.” I said as I began to rub the side of my head.

“Seriously? Although, should we had, all of us, been surprised? I mean, how long has he lived? Not being able to have much fun, when there’s a fuckton of stupid, all throughout the cosmos.” He said to me, rubbing his neck. “But, I understand. Sometimes it sucks balls being the target of his games. Funny enough, he hasn't done that sort of thing to me, because he gave me the choice whether I wanted to go or not.”

“So what do you plan on doing here? Trouble is not something I take kindly.” I said in a calm tone. 

“Trouble? You sure trouble hasn’t been following us both? It doesn't matter whether you want one to happen or not. Besides, I get the feeling something has a bone to pick with us both.”

“Funny, they should know by now that I can't be killed.” I said with a chuckle.

Although, it seems this guy thought otherwise. “That’s true, but who’s to say it’s all for killing us off?” He asked, which got me confused. “If you ask me, I say whatever's out there, clearly wants to start a war. But are we really the target, or the key towards something more?”

“Don't know and I really don't care if I'm a big part of it, I'll either eat them or shoot them.” I said as I stood up.

“To be honest, I really hope not. I got a kid to look after and a mare to love, allowing some asshole try to start something is a big no no.” I said as I began to stretch. I then snapped my fingers, making the couriers overcoat appear on me.

“And if they won’t let up?” He asked me as he got up as well. “I know you don’t want any part of it, but what if you don’t have a choice? What if none of us really did had much of a choice to begin with?” He shrugs his shoulders. “Whatever. We’ll worry about that later. I don’t suppose I could crash at your place, or will that be too much?”

“Sure but let me go ask Twilight if it's okay.” I said as I was soon covered in a torrent of black fire again. Once it was gone I could see that my disguise was up again.

“Oh, Purple girl, huh? Great.” He didn't sound too thrilled about Twilight. “Just make sure she doesn't flip her shit when she sees me. I’m not telling her anything about me.”

“She's not as crazy as you think, as long as you don't touch her cannon. If you do, no holy being can help you.” I said as I recalled the time I had to move the item in question, only to get chased around by Twilight.

“Cannon? What the fucking hell does she need a cannon for!? You know what, fuck it, can we get a move on!?”

“Anti-Matter rifle, It was originally for me to use against a giant space station named Helios, but the plan backfired as the main cannon of the station fired directly at me, making me lose the cannon in the crater as I was launched miles away.” I began to explain as we began walking towards Ponyville.

“Long story short, she found it and used it. After getting passed the initial shock from firing the gun, she realized how amazing it felt to use something capable of a fuckton of Chaos. Honestly, I knew right then and there she was and I were meant to be.” I finished explaining.

“Well, we've been going out way before that but you get the idea.” I said as I walked down the dirt path.

“Oh and you said she wasn’t crazy, you fucknugget! For god sakes man, now I have to watch out when I’m around her!” He was pissed at this information.

“I didn't say she was crazy, I said she's not as crazy as you think.” I said with a shit eating grin as I made a clock appear to check the time. Time to pick up Nyx from School, damn.

“We need to hurry, I've got to pick up my daughter and her friends from school.” I said in a serious tone.

“Alright.” He said as we ran towards the school. “So, what the little one’s name? And speaking of names, mine’s Carolus Rex.”

“I'm Volburaal Nahlii, nice to formally meet you.” I said as I snapped my fingers, creating a blue portal in front of me. The portal then showed the front of the School.

“Perks of being me.” I said to myself as I walked through. Once on the other side, I turned back to see the orange portal on the side of a wall.

“Portal, huh? I shouldn't be surprised, since you talked about Borderlands.” He said as he follows closely behind.

“Borderlands? You mean my stupid ass plan worked, ha! Pandora is a planet I made about four to five thousand years ago and gave some visions to this guy in Gearbox.” I said with a laugh as I closed the portal behind him.

“Hey now, don’t be harsh on yourself. I loved it, everyone else loved it. Fuck man, you created the best shoot-and-loot game ever!”

“Thanks. I've also made some other worlds and a large sphere called the traveler, it disappeared one day and I couldn't find it.” I said with a shrug as I walked closer to the school house.

“Seriously? So the Traveler is evil? Because seriously, wherever he goes, shit gets fucked over.”

“That's the thing, it was operational but it wasn't completely. A few things were missing for it, for instance a built in planetary scanner, a judgement system and planet destroying cannon.” I said as I stopped and sat on the nearest bench close to the school.

“Jesus fuck dude! But how come Bungie screwed the whole thing up? Story wise, I mean.” He asked as he started doing push-ups while we waited.

“Well, after a few years it disappeared, Discord had found an apocalyptic version of Earth with none other than the traveler hovering above. So I was like fuck it and gave a vision to a random guy of Discords choosing.” I said, hearing the bell ring.



PoV:Carolus Rex



“Wow. Tough luck man.” I said as I got up in time when all the little kitties started to run out of the School house, all laughing and such. “So, which one is she?” I asked…. Dammit I can’t say his name for shit! Fuck!

“Her name's Nyx, cute little bundle of joy.” He said as he was soon tackled by a midnight alicorn filly.

“Hi dad!” The filly greeted as she she got off him.

“Ow, hey sweetie. Ready to go?” He said as he sat up.

“Not yet, we need to wait for my friends.” She said as Vol stood up and picked the filly up.

“Yeah yeah, Twilight time with you and your friends.” Vol said as he gave the filly a smile.

“Nyx, I'd like you to meet a new friend of mine, Carolus Rex. He's visiting for a bit.” He said as the filly waved at me.

I waved back at her. “Hello little one.” I said to her, even in all my years, I’m still kind of nervous about children. “You must be Nyx, correct?” Although, I did get a good look at her eyes. They were...different. In a unique way of sorts. They’re pretty cool anyway.

“Yep, Nyx Volbur is my name.” She said with a bit of pride.

“Cool. So, how was school for you?” I asked her.

“Like always, i get bullied just because I have a bit of my dad's soul in me but I never let them get to me, because I know he gave it because he loves me.” She answered as she hugged Vol.

“Yup, and I wouldn't have done otherwise.” Vol said to her as he gave a small kiss to her forehead.

Sighing at the ‘being bullied’, I felt like giving those responsible a piece of my mind, and a kick to their teeth. “Well, at least you have patiences. But still, I don’t like the whole bullying thing, and the lies.” I said with a bit of a growl, until Vol placed a hand on my shoulder.

“Dude, as long as the victim knows what the bully does is because they're either jealous or lying, then nothing can go wrong.” He said as he pulled his hand away.

I snorted at that. “Yeah well, I only wish we could beat them up. But that’s just my past lifetime talking out loud.” Looking off to the left, most of the kids were standing there just staring at us. “We should get moving. Nyx, where are your friends?”

“There.” She said as she pointed behind me. I turned around and saw three fillies riding bicycles heading my way.

“Alright. Lead the way.” I said to Vol as we walked off and away from the School.



Upon entering town, everyone we see stopped what they were doing and stared at us. Mostly me, really. “Don’t you all have something better to do?” I asked them and they gave their apologies and went back to whatever.

“Why were they all staring anyway? They’ve seen you around Vol. So what makes me special?” I asked him.

“Probably being a new Alicorn in town, they aren't trying to be rude, they're just curious.” He answered.

“I know, but that doesn't mean it’s less annoying.” Sighing, I asked them another question. “Anything happening this month?”

“Other than doing random thing and using dad's setup to keep doing my job. I have a small closet and in the inside is like a Tardis.” He said.

“Is grandpa coming to visit anytime soon?” Nyx asked Vol.

“I don't know, I'll ask him later.” Vol answered her.

“Huh, it’s been awhile since I last saw him. How’s he doing? Busy much?” Nyx gasped at this.

“You know him too?” She asked.

“Of course. Who else gave me life to begin with?” I then looked at Vol. “Don’t answer that one.” I told him, which only made him chuckle.

“Hehehehehaha.” He laughed as Nyx gave him a confused look.

Shaking my head, I couldn't help but smile at that laugh of his. “Why did it had to be his, of all things, you inglorious bastard you.”

“Watch the language around Nyx.” He said in a dead serious tone.

Rolling my eyes at this, I nodded. “Yeah, I got it. But where did you think I picked up on that anyway? It’s not like they didn't care about me.”

“I don't know, but anyway we're here.” He said as we stood in front of the crystal doors.

“... Meh.” Was all I could think of saying. Which got a confused look from Nyx, but shock from her friends. “When you see one, you’ve seen them all…” I explained my reason.

“It's home, plus I have a few rooms that expand to your imagination. Like Nyx's’ room, she likes the stars and has her room look like the night sky.” He said as he opened up the door.

“And of course, I had to make an ever expanding library for Twilight when she wants to read. A room for Spike filled with edible gems, and mine is just chaos at it's purest form.” He said as he held the door open for the three other fillies to go in. He then let Nyx down gently to the floor.

“When you see your mother, tell everything's fine.” He said, earning a nod from her as she and her friends went to look for Twilight.

“So, you can change the room with your imagination… That’s cool, and bad.” I commented on how they work.

“I know, which is why I check them every now and again.” He said with a shrug.

“Well, for now, only you are allowed in there. What I’m gonna conjure up in there is something adults are only allowed to see.” I told him as he lead me to one of the rooms. “You’ll probably think I’m crazy once I’m done.”

“As long as it doesn't involve anything sexual and/or weird.” He said as he stood in front of a door and snapped his fingers, making the door flash. He then opened it, allowing me to see a pure white room.

“Dude, it’s nothing like that. I’m not that deprived. Besides, if you want to avoid those themes, put them under lock and key. That way, not a single nerd will defile any of the rooms.” I told him. “Besides, mine is… Well, you’ll know when you see it. Just don’t bring the kids inside.”

Vol then snapped his fingers, changing his clothes to a blue jumpsuit with yellow stripes and held a clipboard with literally a fuckton of random equations.

“Please step right in.” He said with a smirk.

“... Fuck it.” I did as I was told and walked inside. “Okay, now what?”

“Think, Dumbass.” He said as he crossed his arms.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I thought you were gonna pull a fast one on me.” I snarked off at him sarcastically. “Well, go on, piss off. I don’t want you spoiling the surprise, asshole.”

Vol then proceeded to take his eyes out of their sockets.

“I mean it, get out.”

“Alright.” He said as he blinked and his eyes were back in where they belong and walked out the room.

“Alright then…” I walked up to the door and closed it. “Hmm… I better change this door, to make it look the part.” Using my head, it morphed into a big, metallic slide door, filled with gothic art, skulls, and weapons of war. “Well, at least he’ll get the hint. Now to get to work…”



PoV: Volburaal Nahlii



After leaving Rex to his own devices, I went to my working room and spread chaos. After an hour of working I got up and went to check up on him.

I walked back to the room I left him in and opened it. And lord and behold on what he made. Inside was like one of those big factories, making all sorts of weapons of mass destruction. What I did find interesting was that it all looked like the Victorian era, gothic-like art and stuff, with skulls and such. It also had some Roman-like statues mixed into it. Not bad, but technically he’s right about one thing: I do think he’s crazy. But I’ve seen worse.

He wasn’t anywhere in this place, not that I could see him. Rex imagine this place a tad bit too big, even for himself. You could practically get lost in here!

“I have the sudden urge blow myself up.” I said myself as a C4 charge materialised in front of me.

“I was joking.” I said to the C4, making it fade out of existence.

‘ello!' I heard my insanity say.

“You just keep appearing in these rooms, huh?” I asked it as my shadow looked up at me and got off the ground. It then materialised some clothing. He wore a shirt with the words ‘There's a very fine line between not listening and not caring. I like to think I walk that line every day of my life.’ And wore some black jeans.

“You know me, plus I'm not able to appear outside these rooms. I mean sure I can talk to you but that's the thing, I can only talk to you.” He said as he took a look at our surroundings.

“Don't ask.” I said to him, earning a shrug from him.

“Hey Fuckfaces!” I turned around to see a very pissed off Rex, for some reason. “What the Hell are you two doing here!?”

“Bored.” I answered him as I turned to look at Vorohah.

“I'm here because he's here.” He said with a shrug.

“And you both thought it was a good idea to waltz right in here?”

“May I remind you that you're in my home.” I said with a bemused look as Vorohah rolled his eyes.

Although, the ending result...wasn’t what I was expecting from him. Actually, I probably shouldn't be surprised. Walking up to me, he glared at me, full of hatred, which is nothing new. But what he did was something else, in quick succession he practically blew my head off! My head flew off to the corner of the room as my body went limp and fell to the ground. My body then stood up and walked towards my head and picked it up, then reattached it.

“Does it look like I give a rats-ass about that!? No!” He growled at me. “While you’re at it, go see your family! I mean for All-Fathers sakes, you care about them don’t you!? Spend some more quality time with them! Not waste it out on your delusional fantasy!” With that, he walks off, somewhere in this...place.

“Rude much.” Vorohah asked me as I twisted my neck a few times.

“Don't know, I only just met him.” I said as I proceeded to move my jaw around. Vorohah then shrugged as he turned back to my shadow as I walked out.





(Carolus Rex, working…)

“Jesus Christ. What the hell is wrong with him!?” I said as I went back to working on my weapons. “I mean, coming in here, all because he was bored. Shouldn't he have just gone to Twi and make love!?”

Honestly, there is only so much I can take! Right now, I was manufacturing a certain cannon based off an Anime I’ve watched a long time ago. Along with other things. “How did he not know about… Of course, he wouldn't care on what anyone is, because it isn’t his problem, nor his cause.”

Sighing, I stopped for a moment, thinking about my Equestria. “Who am I to tell him off like that, when clearly we’re the same...just different roles to play.” Not like I was any different, I mean Hell, I’m probably still worse than Vol. I don’t exactly spend my time wisely either, with my loved ones. “Not to mention, I have a lot of Lovers.”

Shaking my head, I was about to continue working when I felt...something familiar. Something that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Moving away from my workbench, I headed straight out of my room, out of the castle, and into Ponyville. So far, nothing was out of the ordinary, or so it looks that way.

That is, until I heard screaming. Running towards the scene, I spotted something I never thought possible.

An elf like being was fighting what looks like a cyborg Griffin. The elf delivered a powerful blow to the griffin and the sound of gears braking could be heard.

“DiE!” The the griffin shouted as be raised left arm as it start to light up.

“Up yours!” The elf said as he pulled out a gun with a skull of some sorts and held the trigger, making a large ball of lighting appear.

They both fired at the same time and both shots collided, resulting in large explosion in the center. As the dust began to settle down, I could see the Elf was standing on top of the cyborg as he aimed a rifle at it's head.

“When you get to hell, Tell Praxis I said Fuck you.” The elf said as he pulled the trigger and fired, killing the cyborg with a shot to the head.

“Hmm…” I hummed as I thought about this whole thing, until it clicked. “Wait a minute…. Jak?” I said out loud, upon which got his attention. “Hey! Your name’s Jak, right!?”

“Who’s asking?” He said as he aimed his blue machine gun at me.

“Hey! That shit ain’t gonna do you much, you stupid twat!!”

“I didn't say anything about firing at you, this town however is another thirty credits. I want answers and I want them now.” He said as he changed the gun into a another purple gun with a small rocket on it.

“Where's Veger?” He asked.

“He’s not here. You’re not in your Equestria. The both of us aren’t anymore.” I told him in calm tone, well, as calm as I can say. Seeing as he just had to pull out that fucking overkill of a rocket launcher! I mean, really!? Is it really necessary!?

“Prove it, I need evidence. If I've learned anything from playing the Ace attorney series is that I need evidence.” He said as he lowered his gun.

“God you piss me off… DISCORD!!!!!” I shouted out his name and he came into view.

“My, aren’t you the loud--!?” I cut him off by grabbing his muzzle and squeezed it shut.

Levelling his eyes with mine, he got the message I’m not one for games. “Get. Your. Brother. Here. NOW!!!” Shoving him away from me, he quickly nods and teleports off. Looking back at Jak, I glared down at him. “Don’t try anything fucked up. Or else…”

“Or else you'll have the blood of innocent lives on your hands. So, yeah don't piss me off, or I'll pull the trigger.” He said, still holding his gun.

Rolling my eyes at this, I quickly took the gun from him. And to get my point across, I snapped it in half with ease. “I can tell you the same thing, you little asswipe.”

“If you're threatening to kill then get it over with, I've got nothing to lose.” He said, not fazed by the loss of his weapon.

“Look dumbass, there’s someone who can help you! He might not be able to help me, but he can do you better.” I told him, not really giving much of a damn about his self-loathing, or whatever!

Soon a portal opened up and Vol came through it.

“What?” He asked as he crossed his arms.

“This little elvish prick right here got lost. Think you can get him back to his Equestria?” I explained to Vol, while ignoring Jak’s complaint and giving him the figure.

“I could but it'll take a while, maybe a few weeks.” Vol said as he look at Jak.

“Oh I got plenty of time, it's not like some planet destroying race is waging war over my world.” Jak said with much sarcasm.

“Don't be a smart ass, I can take you back but.” Vol said.

“But?” Jak asked in return.

“If you want a much better chance, we have to wait for my father to arrive. He'll be here in two weeks.” Vol said as he floated over to Jak.

“Hmph, Fine but I'm going to need a nice Isolated place for me to stay.”  Jak said with his eyes closed and arms crossed.

“There's a secluded lake deep in the forest over there.” Vol said as gestured at the Everfree.

“Use this to go there and back.” Vol said as he gave Jak some sort of small ipad.

“Alright, hopefully this isn't going turn into a shitfest.” Jak said, pressing a button and teleported away.

“Oh great, he done fuck up now! Jinxing us all like that! Fucking pointy dickwad!” I growled, already knowing this is gonna turn up from shitfest, to fuckfest.



PoV: Jak


After appearing at the lake the guy suggested, I went out to hunt for food. I've caught a few rabbits and deer but was soon visited by a Manticore in my camp.

“You want to go, fuckwad?” I asked it as I felt the change. The Manticore growled at me.

“Good.” I said as I stood up and transformed into an Eco Drake.

“Let's play little kitten.” I said as I walked over to it, ready to slaughter it.





(Princess Celestia...)

"Hm?"

"Sister, did you felt that?" My sister, Luna, asked me. Seems she felt it as well.

"Yes, indeed. It appears that we have newcomers." I answered her. I saw her get up from her chair and proceeded to walk, summoning her war gear. "Luna, what do you plan to do?" I asked her.

"What does it look like Celestia? I'm going to investigate these intruders." She told me firmly.

"Really Luna? With a show of force?" I asked her with a deadpan expression.

"But what if they are a threat!?"

"Vol is down there. He has done us all a great many deeds, of his own free will, without causing so much of a fuss." I told her in a serious tone. "Besides, one of them seems to have some connection to Vol, in some aspects. But what it is, I cannot say. So to that, we will let Vol sort this out."

"Humph! You trust him too much!" She huffed before walking out on me. "I'll be tailing them from the shadows. This way, I can be sure they aren't a threat."

Sighing to myself, I wrote up a letter to tell Twilight what Luna is up to, and to have Vol look out for her, in case she causes a scene with any of them. "I'm so sorry Luna, but you leave me no choice."

Location: Ponyville


Sighing after that elvish prick fucked off to his happy place, I was about to head back to my room, when I remembered that cyborg he just killed not too long ago. Going up to what remained of it, I checked to see if it really is dead. Turns out, yes, it is. Picking it up, along with the few pieces of it, I walked on back… Or so I would have been, if not for Vol stopping me.

“What are you doing?” He asked me.

“What does it look like?” I answered him back.

“That cyborg gryphon - Errol - is dead. I don’t think bringing him back is a good idea…”

“You know damn well what I mean!” I snapped at him. “I don’t care if it’s gonna piss off Jak, or if he thinks it’s impossible to reconfigure this heap of scrap metal! His shoddy little opinion is of no concern of mine!” I then turned around to look him dead in the eyes. “And if Purple girl asks, tell her not to interfere. I don’t want her, or the girls, hurting themselves.” 

“I'd appreciate it if you'd call my wife by her name, not ‘Purple Girl’, she isn't even purple it's lavender.” Vol said in a calm but serious tone.

“Do I have to remind you that I don’t give a flying fuck about what you say?” I dared him.

“Well, I have the ability to erase you from anything and everything, not to mention my father hasn't found out about your attitude. But that's besides the point, All I'm asking you is to treat people or ponies with respect and not outright insult them. If you can't do that, then what kind of champion of my father are you?” Vol asked, putting his arms behind his back.

“I’m suppose to respect them? When clearly they single out every other races that aren’t ponies themselves? Have you even been listening to their fucking speech patterns!?”

“That's it? If you had gotten to know the town a bit, you'd see some changelings, griffins and a few Zebras. The speech pattern is a work in progress, Twilight had placed a rubber band on her wrist for every time she say Everypony instead of Everyone, she has to pull the band a bit and let it snap her wrist.” Vol said as he looked around.

“I kept trying to tell her that time will help her learn, but she feels a little guilty for discriminating.” He said with a shrug of his shoulders as a Changeling couple passed by and waved at him.

Groaning, I just walked off, but before that. “Alright, fine. I’ll give them the chance. But can we talk later, I think I need to tell you something about my Equestria. Something I had to endure while I lived there.” With that said, I began my way back to my room, feeling a little depressed and pissed off with myself...


PoV: Jak
Location: Everfree Lake


After eating some Manticore meat and hoping that had calmed him down enough for some peace. I stood up and walked over to the water, then knelt down on the edge to scoop up some water with my hands. 

After taking a few more scoops of water, I noticed my reflection wasn't my own.

“Can't you leave me alone? You've ruined things quite enough so far.” I said as I glared at the water.

“I'm afraid I can't do that, I require more blood and that town looks to have enough for a feast.” He said as I felt the change. I resisted the change, earning a frown from him.

“Don't even try, Hyde. I'm not letting you and there's two guys powerful enough to kill me. Remember, I die you die.” I said to him, earning a glare from the Anthro Drake.

“I will find a way to gain total control and I will break you!” He shouted in anger, making me smirk.

“I'm already broken.” I said as I stood up and walked back to my makeshift campsite.

As I sat back down near the fire, I thought about what Hyde did and said to those other guys.

I sighed as I reached inside my shirt and pulled out a small turtle necklace with a symbol on it. My mothers necklace, I held it as I shed a few tears.

“Alright… Let’s see what we can do…” I said as I laid the mechanical corpse on the bench. Luckily, coming back here, I didn’t run into Twilight, nor the children. The last thing I want to do is explain what’s what. And that’s gonna be a bitch of a talk!

Anyway, getting some paper and drawing up the plans, someone came walking in, calling out my name.

“Yo, Rex! You in here!?” Vol shouted.

“Yeah, I’m coming!” I replied as I got up and went to fetch him. Eventually, I found him waiting next to the grinder.

“You wanted to talk?” He asked.

“Yeah…” I said as he materialized a round table and two chairs for us to sit. Vol also brought up some beverages for us to drink. “Thanks man.”

It's been an hour since my talk with Hyde and I've been spending it by making a few keep out signs in the Manticores blood.

I don't want to hurt anyone, I never wanted to but Hyde always does and gets to do so.

Hyde was created to be an unstoppable killing machine with the Dark Eco inside of me, hence the reason me and Hyde are the same but not.

Hyde wants complete and total control over me and wants to break me, jokes on him though I'm already broken. Try losing your family without them even knowing what happened to you.

I need to apologize to the alicorn from earlier about Hyde's’ attitude and threat. But that can't happen as long as Hyde constantly tries to take control.

Once I put up the last sign, I looked up and saw a chariot heading towards the town. I shook my head, knowing it's none of my business and sat back down in front of the fire. 

I watched the fire as it flickered around, somehow calming my senses as I watched it dance.

‘You know, You're not the only one who feels lost.’ Hyde said to me.

“Explain.” I demanded.

‘It's not like I want to be a killing machine but the dark eco, it changes people and you know it.’ He explained to me.

“And how do I know you're not lying?” I asked him.

‘Sometimes you have to trust the person you consider your enemy, even when you want nothing to do with them.’ He said as my shadow moved on its own.

“If what you say is true, then don't do anything stupid when someone's around.” I said, not even looking at the Shadow staring up at me.

‘It's the Eco, like a drug I need to stay alive.’ Hyde said as my shadow went back to normal.

‘Your Ultimate is ready when you need or want it.’ Hyde said as his voice drifted away into silence. I continued to watch the fire as it danced around and flickered.

“Maybe we're two sides of the same coin with our own problems. But I don't know of I can trust you yet, let's see in time.” I said as I stood up, still looking at the fire. I swore I could've seen it showing a symbol of sorts.

The fire cracked loudly and grew a little more. I could see it, the amulet of Mar, the one Damas gave me.

I reached in my pocket and pulled it out. I looked at it as the fire went back to normal.

“How the fuck did you do any of this, Mar?” I asked myself. I then put the amulet back in my pocket.

Location: Ponyville, Rex's’ room



“Well, I did say I wanted to talk.” I said as I took a sip from my glass. “But what’s in this? Cider?”

“Yes. Why? You don’t drink alcohol?” He asked me.

“No. It’s just that cider doesn't do it for me anymore. It tastes just like lolly-water.”

“This is Mead. Back to the matter at hand, what is it you wanted to talk about?” He asked, taking a mighty chug from his mug.

“It’s about why I’m….constantly pissed.” I said, looking into my drink. “A long time ago, give or take, 25,000 years or over, God hand-picked me. Even though I was already tasked with making sure WWIII didn't come about. The reason why he’d picked me was because, out of the few that were also suitable for this, I was the only crazy son of a bitch that can manage it. On my terms, and mine alone. Not to mention, I think he did that because he was pissed at the Royals for coming over. He doesn't like it when other entities barge in unannounced. Especially if they didn't think their plan through properly.”

“Well, it sounds to me like they were either desperate or drunk. Either way, Dad never liked it when anyone comes home uninvited or unannounced, mostly because he used to be stressed but I told him to travel or hang out with his other champion. Swell guy, funny too if not annoying at times.” Vol said as he disintegrated his mug and the covered the ashes with his hand. Once he lifted it back up, a small white dove was in it's place.

“Hmm… I wouldn't put it that far from him. Anyway, when it came to my final decision, I went with them. Although, you are right about them being desperate. Turns out, their eldest daughter, Celestia, was becoming a stuck-up bitch. She kept gloating about wanting to be this ‘True Leader’ of sorts, and as soon as she saw me, she went and had a hissing fit with us. Even though they grounded her, she used that one path to get what she wanted; she challenged me for Leadership.” I told him, sighing at that memory. “In all honesty, that was pretty stupid of her…”

“Oh really.” Vol said as he looked at me with what looked an old meme.

“Speaking of Princesses and stuck up…” Vol said as his eyes slowly turned to the left.

I followed to what he was looking at, and lord and behold! “Oh for fuck sakes….” I growled as I facepalmed myself. “Just what the Hell are you even doing here?”

Apparently, Vol was kind enough to bring forth one midnight princess to us. However the fucking fuck she got in here, is beyond me, but now I’m putting up security measures.

“How can we help you, Moonbutt?” Vol asked with a grin.

“Here’s an idea…” I growled as I got up and pulled out both Deathlock Rangers and aimed them at her head. “How about I blow her brainless fucking head off and you can send her corpse back to her sister?” Although, Vol placed a hand on me.

“The reason I knew she was here was because of Celestia, she sent a letter to Twilight. And no, it'll just be more work for me. If she was out of the picture, I have to take control of the moon and I don't want that.” Vol said as he forced the Lunar princess to sit down on an empty chair.

“Tick tock, times ticking, Lulu.” Vol said, running out of patience.

“I-I-I was j-just checking! T-to see if h-h-he was a t-threat to us!” Luna stuttered out.

“...Seems Legit.” Vol said with a shrug as he looked over to me.

“Luna, I am dangerous. I’m not gonna lie about that…” She about to say something, but Vol zipped her yak. “But, I’m not a threat to Equestria. And if your people do something to me, I will, I’ll fucking kill them for that, out of self-defense.” I told her while glaring down at her, with a fiery hatred burning with a passion. “So, that being said, you’re just lucky I’m letting you off the hook… For now.”

“Allahuakbar!” I heard someone shout. I looked behind Vol and saw a shadow running at him with a sword. Vol sighed in annoyance as he let go of Luna and reached into his pocket. He pulled out a fucking hand cannon and aimed at the shadow.

He then fired, hitting the shadow straight in the head. The shadow staggered backwards as he held his head in pain.

“Note to self: Never do that again. Ow.” The shadow said, throwing his sword in the air, making it disappear.

“Attacking head on is my schtick.” Vol said as the Shadow pulled out a chair and sat down.

“Same here. On another note…” I looked over at his shadow in a raging fury of sorts. “WHY THE FUCK DID YOU DO THAT YOU FUCKASS!?!?!?!”

“I'm insanity, I don't need a reason.” The shadow said as he rubbed his head.

Okay, if he thinks he can do anything in my room, out on a whim, he’s got another thing coming. Walking up to him, with a raised hand, he wasn’t paying much attention...

“Fact: No one except this guy can inflict pain on me. I'm him as much as he is me.” He said not even looking.

“He's my insanity, he can create a sort of visible form in these rooms. He's what happens when I don't cause cause for a certain amount of time and that same chaos soon develops into him.” Vol said, shooting the shadow in the shoulder.

“Ow! You twat!” The shadow shouted at him as Vol aimed at him again, making the shadow humph as he crossed his arms.

“.... I beg a differ.” I told them in a cold, calculated tone. Aiming at the shadow's chest, I thrusted forward and stabbed him. At first, he was smiling, but then started to lose it as his facials started to contort into pain and agony.

“Stop it! If he can't do what he does he won't leave! He'll just keep coming back.” Vol shouted as the shadow groaned in annoyance.

“And I had such a good act too, oh well.” The shadow said as he removed my hand from his chest.

He then stood up and walked over to Vol and sunk down to the floor, merging with Vol’s shadow.

“Later shitlords!” The shadows voice could be heard as it became a distinct echo.

Looking down at my hand, it was covered in black ink, or in this case, the shadows blood.

“That ain't blood, if that's what you're thinking.” Vol said as he passed a roll of paper towels and hand sanitizer.

“Really? Because I still beg a differ…” I said as I took a paper towel and sanitizer. Washing away the damn stuff. “Although, I might take your word for it. Sure as Hell smells bad, what is he made out of, shit?”

Throughout the whole ordeal, we completely ignored our Lunar ‘guest'. 

“Oh fuckles, Tia is so gonna be pissed with us.” Before any of us could do anything about it. We heard a crash somewhere in the castle. Followed by Twilight screaming her head off. “It’s official: this is the worst first day, ever!”

After saying that, Twilight called out for Vol.

“That's our cue.” Vol said as he snapped his fingers, teleporting the three of us to Twilight.
  
The room where we all were had a hole in the ceiling, books were lying everywhere, some pages ripped out of the contents. As for Twilight, well, she was really pissed off to the days. Although, looking at the object that's responsible for this mess…

“No way…” I muttered as I walked over to it. “How…?”

“What happened, Twi?” Vol asked Twilight.

Twilight scoffed at him. “What do you think!? A part of my library is destroyed!” She shouted in his face.

“Well duh, I asked if you knew how it happened, oh wife of mine.” Vol said, crossing his arms at her, not fazed by her shouting.

Which made me snicker under my breath. But this didn’t go unnoticed by Twilight, as she pointed at me. “He did it!”

“Wait, how? I was with your hubby humper the whole time.” I told her, failing horribly to hide my sly grin.

“Did you? Or was it someone else? Who knows, oh right.” Vol said as he snapped his fingers, gathering up the mess and only leaving the things that aren't books on the floor.

“Actually, that chest over there…” I pointed towards. “Is mine. But, I never really had it on me. So to find who or what, we’ll just look inside and see if there’s anything out of the ordinary… Well, considering this is us, nothing ever really is ordinary.” I said as I went up to it. Looking over it, every single gothic design, skulls and the like, on it seems to be where it should be. “Oh hello…”

“What is it?” Twilight asked me, or more like demanding.

“There’s engraving on the front...and I don’t think I told anyone about the motto that’s here.” I answered.

“Well, what does it say?” She and the others came over to see what it says. “Uh… Wow…” Seems it render her speechless.

“Grimdark much, Rex? Because it explains you very thoroughly.” Vol commented.

“Nice of you to finally notice asshole.” I snarked off at him. “Anyway, Twilight, you get back.”

“Why?” She asked me.

“Dumbass if this is a trap, the last thing we need right now is you splattered all over the place.”

“You could've just said so.” Twilight said as she walked back to Vol.

“I just did, shit-stains! Now fuck off!” I growled at her as I opened it up slowly.

“Some day your attitude will be the end of you.” Twilight commented.

“Twilight, enough please.” Vol said, putting a hand on her shoulder.

“Funny, I’m still alive after all the stupid horse shit I’ve been through.” 

“I said, ENOUGH!!” Vol shouted out.

“You're adults acting like children! So just please, shut up!” Vol shouted in anger, showing that he had lost his patience.

“Whatever.” I said to him. As I opened it up fully, I found a note inside. “Huh, I wonder if it is him…” Picking it up and unfolding it, turns out it is him. “Vol, it’s from the All-Father.” I passed him the note.

“All this trouble for a note? Really dad.” He said, taking the note and reading it.

“To my dearest children…

I’m sorry for the mess, but I’m just delivering this off to Rex. I know about his activities Vol, but let him be. He has been through things that I find very disgusting, beyond belief. But you are allowed to stop him from jumping into the frame, if necessary my son.

Anyway, I know of Jak, but you two need to check up on him from time to time. Rex, I know you felt it as well, the Darkness inside him. Also, there are some liquor inside your chest, since the ponies ones are not doing its job.

Vol, tell Nyx I’ll be in next week. I know how much she enjoys my company. I’ll also be telling you about what’s going on, so you better help Rex with whatever he’s doing. Which I can only guess, creating weapons of war.

Rex, don’t go crazy with that stuff. I worry about you when you go off the rails like that. I sometimes wonder if choosing you was the best idea, seeing as how much the multiverse has skewered your head from times of hardship.

Anywho, be good to each other, look out for one another, and try to live life. Yes, that means you too, Rex.

Sincerely…
Your daddy, All-Father, God. ;)

P.S. Vol, if you don’t like these terms, I will strip you of your powers and ground you for the next 1000 years. Leave Rex alone, look after Jak, and that’s final.”

“Only if he doesn't do anything bat shit insane, by my standards I mean, then we're good.” Vol said, putting the letter on the nearest table.

“This coming from a God of Chaos. Hate to break it to you, but you’re not so different.” I said as I picked up a bottle of Jack Daniels.

“Why does everyone think I'm a god? I'm an incarnation of Chaos, do I have to put up a sign or something?” Vol said, rubbing the sides of his head.

“So? You can’t die. I punched your fucking blockhead off your shoulders, and you’re still alive! That’s godhood right there!” I told him as I poured us all a glass of this stuff. “And if that doesn’t count, I don’t know what does anymore!”

“Whatever.” Vol said.

“Ah shut up and drink. You too Twilight. But what are we going to do with Luna?” I passed them a glass each, although I’m wondering about Luna’s condition. “She has been stiff as a meat pole for who knows how long….”

“I could send her to the moon.” Vol said with a smirk as Luna yelped.

“Well, about fucking time, you Lunatic! Hurry up and drink up!” Handing one to Luna, she took it and started to drink it fast. Only for her to start panting and fanning herself.

“I'll pass, I need to tell Nyx the news.” Vol said as he walked out of the room with Twilight following behind.

“Alright, more for me!” I shouted as they left me with Luna. “Jesus Christ, you suck.”

“Well… Excuse me… But it burns!” She shouts at me.

“So? Tough it out! Unless you want to get outdone by Tia again.” I taunted her, which lead to her having a rage quit…

I opened my eyes as I felt a large power spike for a few seconds.

‘It's about time you're awake.’ Hyde greeted me as I sat up and looked around, noticing the sun setting.

“Shut up, twat.” I replied as I walked up to the water for another drink.

‘You know just as well as I do that I won't shut up, if it bugs you, I'll keep doing it.’ He said as I stood back up and heard voices through the forest.

“You sure we aren't lost, Applebloom?” I heard a little girl ask. I groan at this. Have they not seen the signs I put up.

I decided to ignore them, they aren't in danger and sat down near the pile of burnt sticks and twigs.

“Hyde.” I said as my left hand grew claws and I grabbed a stone with my free hand. I used the stone to create a spark with my claws and started the fire again.

“Once this is all over, I'm taking a vacation back at Spargus.” I said, laying back down on the grass.

‘I‘ll vouch for that.’ Hyde said. 
After a few minutes of total silence, a scream was heard throughout the forest as a manticore roared.
I quickly sat up and saw that four fillies were running away from the Manticore as they headed towards my camp.

“Fuck.” I said as I sprung up and sprinted towards the children. Once close enough, I picked them up and ran back to my camp, leaving them there and back to the Manticore.

I punched the beast straight at it's jaw, earning a loud crack from it as it hung loose. It held It's jaw in pain as I raised my right hand at it.

“Get the fuck back.” I said as my hand fired a large beam of dark eco at it, consuming it in the light of destruction. Once the beam was gone, there was no evidence of a manticore even standing there anymore.

I looked back at the kids, who were scared out of their minds right now.

“You four should back to town, it's that way.” I said, pointing south.

“Can you take us there?” One of them asked, an anthro yellow earth pony. I looked at the still setting sun and sighed.

“Fine.” I said as I began to lead them back to town.



After a short and silent walk, I led them out of the forest. One of them had asked my name and I told them my name wasn't important.

They left without any more questions and I started to walk back to camp.m

“So, that happened…” I jumped back from the one who talked, which turned out to be that red alicorn from before. “So, Jak, had fun?”

“If you're still mad about earlier, I'm sorry.” I said to him.

“Mad? No, I’m not piss about that anymore.” He told me. “But…”

“But?” I asked.

“I can still smell the need for blood on you, from him.” I was shocked by this. I didn’t think he had figured it out.

“Hyde needs it to live, I need him to live, if one of us dies the other will too.” I said, putting my hands in my pockets.

“Hmm… That is problematic.” He said as he thought this over. “I wonder…”

“Don't, It's useless to do anything against him.” I said as the moon started to rise up, very weirdly I might add.

“What’s useless? Do enlighten me about it. So that I can have a better understanding about Hyde.” He asked me, not even seeming fazed about any of it.

“Removing him is like removing my brain, I'll just become a hollow shell. It would've been easier but he merged with the Dark Eco inside of me, further complicating everything.” I said to him.

But he snorted at this. “Remove him? No, that isn’t what I was thinking.” I stared at him, confused about what he said. “I was thinking, maybe I can sated his bloodlust.”

“How will that work? And it's not bloodlust, he actually feeds off the blood.” I said to him with a bored expression.

He just smiled, which was rubbing me the wrong way. “Then tell me this: How come I smell other wise? Are you sure he needs blood to survive? Or is he really intoxicated to it?”

“He feeds off blood, he's high on Eco.” I said to him.

He laughs a little, now that got me shivering slightly. “Oh I see now. The Dark Eco is what caused him to have such cravings.”

“Listen, I need to get going, I left the fire burning back at my camp.” I said to him.

“By all means, go. But not without this little beauty of yours.” He then chucks me something, which turns out to be my gun! “A gift of sorts. Replacement. You’re going to need it tonight.”

“Thanks, man.” I said with a smirk.

“You’re welcome. But my offer still stands. I’ll await your reply.”

“Hold up. Can it wait for like, I don't know tomorrow? I'm really fucking tired.” I said to him.

“Of course, take as much needed time as you please.” With that said, he teleports off. Leaving me alone in here.

“And Stop being creepy!” I shouted as I walked into the dark forest.

“What fun would that be, Jak!?” Hearing him laugh like a maniac… Now that’s creepy! No! Just ignore it, and it’ll all fade away.

“Killing myself is sounding a lot more appealing now.” I said to myself.

‘Not happening as long as I'm here, I don't want to die! I'm too amazing!’ Hyde shouted at me.

“Shut it, Hyde.” I growled at him.

“He is telling the truth! By the way, did I even say I was leaving entirely!?” I groaned at this.

“You just did!” I shouted back.

“From where you’re standing, yes! But I’m out here for some training! Or hunting, if you prefer! So if you so happen to find a lot of dead animals lying around, that would be my doing!” As he continued, I can already hear the screams and howls of the unfortunate victims.

“...Well, good luck with that.” I said, breaking into full sprint, wanting to get some sleep faster.

“Me!? You sure you don’t need it!?” He ended with that laughter of his, and now I’m not gonna get any sleep! Why, of all nights, did he have to choose now!?

Once I arrived at the camp and saw the fire still burning, I laid down near it and tried to fall asleep but to no avail.

‘Got just the thing.’ was the last thing I heard before sleep hit me like a bitch.

The Trio of Destruction

Ch.3: Deja’vu…


(Carolus Rex, three days later…)

“Well… This is happening…” Jak said.

“Yep.” I replied. Right now, me, Jak, and Vol were in my room, working on weapons, armour, units, and the like. By hand no less.

“One thing I still don’t get…”

“What’s that Jak?”

“Why did you bring Errol’s body here?”

I sighed at this. “Jak, I told you, it’s for references. Besides, you killed what’s left of his former self.” I ensured him… Again.

“To be fair, I only killed him once.” Jak said in defense for his actions.

“You mean the barrel of Eco explosion, I seen it happen, I was there.” Vol said with a grin as he recalled the event.

“Well, Okay, if you say so…” I said as I got back to recalibrating somethings within the cannon. “Although, do you see Errol ever saving a copy of his personality, in hopes of rebuilding himself?” I asked Jak.

“Nope, Dumbass was too busy talking to the Dark makers to work on stuff like that. Speaking of which..” Jak said as he took out his satchel and started rummaging through it's contents. He then finally pulled out two crystals, one light and the other dark.

“You can use these as an infinite power source. Just make sure not to lose one of them, they won't work without their opposites.” Jak said as he held the two crystal that radiated power from them.

“Hmm…” Taking the two, I got the feel of their energies, which isn’t all that bad, mind you. But… “Jak, are you certain?” I asked him, wanting to be sure of his decision.

“I got tons of them, and I keep finding more through the wasteland.” Jak said as he showed me the contents of his satchel. I saw that he had more of them, almost like if it was common finding them.

“Damn son, that's a fuckton.” Vol commented.

“No, what I have here is a shitload.” Jak argued.

“No, I'm pretty sure it's a fuckton.” Vol repeated.

“How is that a fuckton, when he just said he’d found that in the wastelands? Jak’s just one guy, trying to dig up all of these for miles and fucking miles!” I said to Vol.

“...Whatever. Are we done yet by the way, I got to go to the Crystal Empire with Twilight and her friends, Nyx included.” Vol said.

“Sure. We can leave things from here.” With that said, we stopped what we were doing, pack things away, and headed out of my room. 

Making our way to the train station, we saw the Mane Six and Nyx waiting there. Once they saw us, Nyx ran up to her father.

Vol decided to change clothes before we left, he looked more like an anime character. He wore a long grey overcoat covering most his shirt but showed enough to see a vest and a tie, and had a cross necklace dangling from his neck. For some reason he decided to put on glasses. 

Oh, so that’s how he’s gonna play it out, huh? Well, I can’t let him have all the fun! Realising who he changed to be, I decided to do the same. There wasn’t much to change, I just needed to add on some things here and there, and BAM! Unfortunately, we forgot about Jak, seeing as he’s caught in between the two of us. Looking confused all the while at the scene taking place.

“I feel very uncomfortable right now…” Jak said as he backed away from us both, seeing the insane smiles on our faces.

“Geez, I just wanted to wear my favourite coat.” Vol said as he glared at Jak.

“Yeah, what’s wrong with that, huh!?” I said as I, too, halted down at him.

“First off, don't shout. Second, it's not about you guys looking like characters from Hellsing, it's the fact that Rex decided to go along with it. But in any case, just thought I'd state my opinion. It's kinda hard for me, so bear with me, please.” Jak said as calmly as he could.

Me and Vol looked at each other and then back at him. “Alright, fine, whatever. But don’t make us change you into one of the characters.”

“Aye. You’ve made yourself kind of our mood killer here.” Vol told Jak, and in case you haven’t figured it out, we were both speaking as Alucard and Anderson.

Rolling his eyes, we continued on until Nyx jumped into her father’s arms.

“Hows my little bundle of chaos?” Vol asked his daughter.

“I can’t wait to see Aunt Cadence and Uncle Shining again!” Nyx answered with much enthusiasm.

“Wait, who are Cadence and Shining? Sorry, but I haven’t even met or heard of them in my Equestria.” I asked them.

“Cadence is the Alicorn of Love and she’s married to Twilight’s older brother, Shining Armor.” Vol answered as the mane six boarded the train

“Wow… Yet another Alicorn I have not been mentioned of! Can’t wait to bash Tia’s face in. Also, how did it went with you and this Shining character?”

“Well, when he found out that I was dating his sister, he tried to run me off. He only managed to make me laugh, he then challenge me to a duel and that’s when he knew about my skills with the bayonets.” Vol said with a grin.

“So what? You kicked his shit?” Jak asked as he was boarding the train and we followed behind him.

“I hope so. From the sound of things, he’s a total racist asshole. I’m calling him out on that!” I shouted as we took our seats with the Mane six, who were still staring at us.

“He isn’t racist here, just overprotective but I did learn his history with Nyx, so he’s still on my list of should kill but that list is old.” Vol said taking a seat next to Nyx. The latter used him as something to lean on for a nap.

“Jesus fucking Christ! Now I’m gonna have to watch out for him in my one! Although, what’s the story about the Crystal Empire? Can you girls tell me, please.” I said as I turned towards the girls.

“And… Why should we tell you?” Oh great, it had to be Skittles. “I mean, who even are you?”

“Because, unless you want to pay up that two thousand bits you owe me from the bet you lost, you have to answer.” Vol said to her, making Dash pale at the mention of the amount of bits.

Twilight shook her head and asked. “Rex, could you please show them who you really are? Pretty please?” She even went the mile with those puppy eyes.

“Aww, you look like a puppy. A sweet little lavender puppy!” I said to her as I shrugged. “Alright, you win this round… For now.” With that, I transformed back into my Alicorn form, surprising every soul, that didn't know, in the train. “Satisfied?”

“Very!” Twilight smiled. “I’m glad we can finally come to an agreement.”

“Don’t bet on it, Twi. Just because I did this one for you, doesn’t mean you’re on the same level as your hubby humper, Vol.” She deflated a bit from that remark.

“Well… I guess.”

“Wait a minute!” And here comes that lazy jockey bitch. “I don’t care if you are an Alicorn! But nopony does--!” She didn't get to finish her sentence, since I held her by the neck, choking her a bit.

“Too far!” Vol shouted at me as he grabbed hold of my arm.

Growling, I did what Vol had me do, but slowly. At the last moment though, I shoved her away from me. “Stupid twat..” I muttered under my breath.

“Rex, I’m sorry for Rainbow Dash’s rash behaviour! But--!” I held up my hand, telling her to stop.

“Don’t be, Twilight. That was her own fault for getting herself in that kind of situation. You can tell me about what’s been happening in the Crystal Empire…”





(One train ride and explanation later…)

“... And that’s about it. The rest you know of.” Twilight finished, which only left me feeling pretty enraged about Sombra’s actions.

“I can’t believe he did that…” I growled as we pulled up at the Crystal Empire’s train station. The girls, Twilight included, were really afraid of me at this point. Taking in deep breaths, I managed to calm myself as much as possible, but the fact still remains that Sombra betrayed me.

Vol grabbed a hold of my shoulders. “Hey, what’s wrong Rex?” He asked me.

“Yeah man. Because I’ve never felt that much fury from a single being.” Jak said. “Seriously, you got some issues…”

“You better goddamn believe it.” I snarled. “Girls, you go on ahead. We’ll be right behind you lot.” Not needing much convincing, they all rushed out the doorway. Sighing heavily, I leaned back into my seat. “Why…?” I said as I placed both my hands over my face, a few tears managing to escape. “Why did this happen?”

“Drunk on power.” Vol suggested.

“Brainwashed.” Jak continued on.

“Possessed.” Vol said afterwards.

“Or just because.” Jak said with a shrug of his shoulders.

“But now learning about this, I can’t even begin to tell you just how frustrated I am about the things he has committed.” I told them. “I mean, for God sakes I trained him!”

“Save it for your Equestria, that’s where you need to vent all you want to Celestia.” Vol said as he walked towards the exit.

“I agree with Vol, they didn’t tell you their mistakes, they need to know what happens when they’re not completely truthful.” Jak said, following Vol.

Sighing, I got up and followed suit. “Trust me, they know what will happen when they tell me.” After that, we all made our way towards the Crystal Castle.

Walking through the city, all of the crystal natives bowed their heads before us, which was still annoying to me. Seeing this, Vol placed his hand on my shoulder.

“Relax. We’re almost there. See?” Nodding his head towards the Crystal Castle, we were just about there when we got attacked out of nowhere, which resulted in knocking Jak out cold.

“Okay…. What the fuck just happened?”



PoV: Jak (Hyde)


Pain, pain was the first thing I felt as I assumed control over Jaks body. I would just go and attack everything but I made an agreement with Jak, so I decided against it and stood up.

“The fuck just happened?” I asked my comrades.

“Don’t know, but I think we'll find out soon.” Volburaal answered.

“And you're not Jak, are you?” Rex asked, earning a nod from me.

“Correct, I'm Hyde, Jak's alter ego and Eco enthusiast.” I introduced myself with a bow as I felt Jak’s body change. I noticed the skin of my hand turning into scales as well as a tail snake it's way out of my pants.

“Should we worry?” Rex asked, wondering what's happening.

“No, his body is changing into my form, it's normal for when I assume control over his body.” I answered as my back sprouted wings, ripping the shirt apart. Luckily Jak had gone to Rarity to make some stretchy pants for things like this.

My boots were shredded to accommodate my sharp feet. I felt myself grow a few inches in height. Once the change was complete, I began to stretch my limbs, wings included.

“Uhh, I have no words for the amount of weirdness I just witness.” Rex said as Vol snapped his fingers, making the shredded clothing items disappear. “Okay, looking much better… Well, you’re still ugly as fuck, that’s for sure.”

“Gee, thanks… You prick.” I snarled at him for that.

“Yep! Hate you too, you cunt!” Is Rex for real? I can’t believe he’d just says stuff like this, without much of a care! He just smiles like it’s normal for him, nothing but a regular daily basis thing!

“Alright, enough!” Vol gotten our attention. “Let’s just get to the damn castle. We’ll figure out who did that when we--!” Before he could finish, a bunch of Crystal-looking pony guards came and surrounded us three.

“Well shit.” I said as they started to point their spears at us.

“I’m gonna kill them all, if they don’t put those damn things away!” Rex looks just about ready to do so anyway. Although, it seems his glare and words were enough to scare this lot.

“Vol!” We heard Twilight called out. Looking towards her and the girls, the guards had them separated from us and lead them to the castle.

At first, I thought Vol was gonna stop them, but it turns out Rex was the one to do so. I didn't know what happened, it all went so fast, that not only did he beat down those surrounding us, but the ones with the girls as well. The result, a bunch of bedridden guards until next year.

“Well, they were asking for it.” I commented. Looking at Rex, I was surprised that his body covered in Lightning, and it was red! “... That explains it.”

Rex then returns back to his normal self, but he still held a killer look on him. Hell, I can actually feel the bloodlust radiating from the guy! Better snap him out of it, or else he’ll be the one going on a rampage.

“Dude, you made your point.” I said to him.

Growling… Sheesh, he sure loves to answer you like that, but at least he calmed down… A bit.

“You really need to keep a cool head Rex.” Vol told him with a deadpan expression.

“But those assholes were asking for it!” Rex shouted.

“Yeah, but showing them that you have a short fuse kinda makes them the winner.” I said to him. And it’s true, I had seen Jak contain his anger when speaking towards Errol and Praxis.

Although, what really surprised me was… Him laughing. No, seriously, Rex was laughing this off!

“Dude! What the fuck!? I’m serious here!” I shouted at him, but that only seemed to make him laugh even more.

“Oh my fucking God!” He said as he shook his head. “Oh Hyde, if only you know…”

“Know what!? I already seen what--!?”

“Oh really!?” He cut me off. “Well, hate to break it to you, but they asked for it! I cannot stress that enough!”

“What the fuck does that mean!?”

“It means they wished for it to happen! They thought they can handle the situation, they thought they had a easy win, they thought they can be heroes! Problem is, they weren't very careful, nor smart, about it! So unfortunately, they wished for something that was completely out of their league! And do you know what happens then!? People die!” Rex explained. “And when people start dying, it’s because their military, their government, failed to protect them! And when the body count starts increasing for a period of time, and they have yet to kill the monster, the people gets really pissed of at them for failing, time and again! So, instead of hunting down the monster, they hunt down their government, and make them pay for what they brought upon the populace! Ask Vol, he can tell you that I’m right about that.”

“Don’t bring me into this!” Vol shouted as he healed up the guards but restricted their movements.

“Well, that’s too fucking bad, because you were in those situations yourself, Vol.” Rex said.

I turned to face Vol who then looked at me.

“I prevented a war,but that didn’t mean the citizens took kindly to their leaders greed.” Vol said as he finished up with the last guard.

“How did you prevent one?” I asked him, curious to know.

“I sang out War! by Edwin Starr, turns out the inhabitants of this world are really into music.” He answered.

“See. The government tends to always fuck your life up. Remember what the Baron did to you and the citizens?” Rex asked me.

“You’re asking the wrong guy here, Jak is the one the hates the shit out of him.” I said in my defense.

“So? You know Jak. You know what he feels, and how he felt about the incident. You two are in the same body, so whatever he feels, get transferred over to you as well, Hyde.” Rex countered.

“No, you don’t get what I mean. What I meant was that I have no clue why he hates him so much, his hatred was only doubled when I was made, the rest I have no clue.” I said to him.

“Trust me, you do. Even if you don’t think you do.” Rex said to me. “I’ve seen this a hundred times over. They say they don’t know why, but that’s only because they don’t remember it fully.”

“Rex, I know my father said to leave you be but if you keep doing stuff like this, I will strip you of your powers, I don't care if Dad takes mine away but I can't just let you beat up everyone just because they made you angry.  I swore to protect this world from threats of any kind and if you will he classified as one if you keep doing this, and I don't care what my dad says, you can't treat anyone like shit!” Vol said as he held Rex up in the air with his hand up.

“Do.” Vol started to say as he tightened his hold, making Rex cough.

“I make.” Vol said as he was soon covered in a black aura.

“Myself.” He continued as his disguise was burning off slowly.

“Clear!” He shouted, spreading his wings in his true form as his eyes were pure white.

Even though Rex didn't say anything, or couldn't, I don’t think any of this is going to end well. Unfortunately, I was right. Moving his hand, Rex grabbed a hold of Vol's arm, that held him up in the air. At first, nothing happened, until I saw Vol’s arm starting to gaining muscle mass, for some reason. But then I saw the veins pumping blood non-stop, which made his arm become much more bigger, until it reached to a ridiculous size that it was straining.

“Rex… What are you doing?” Vol questioned him, but Rex didn't reply. “Answer me, damn you!” Still, no reply from him.

“I’m not liking where this is going…” I said as I prepared for the worst, only problem was I wasn’t prepared for what happened next.

Just as it started to seem just about ready to pop by itself, Rex gave it a quick squeeze, and Vol’s arm exploded in a gory way. Blood spattered everywhere and on us all, which Rex didn’t seem to care much about it. But we do!

“DAMN YOU CAROLUS REX!!!!” Vol shouted out loud, as he replaced his arm. “NOW YOU REALLY---!” Before he could finish, Rex was already upon him, sword in hand - wherever the hell he got that - and about to cut Vol in half, vertically might I add.

But then, out of nowhere, lightning struck the both of them. The blowback from it sent them two flying off from each other. Vol seems to be fine, I think, but Rex looked as though he’s knocked out.

“Jeez dad, thanks.” Vol groaned. “But I’d appreciate it if it was only Rex, and not me included.” His request was answer with another lightning strike. “OW!!!”

“He’ll think about it, when people stop presenting themselves as a threat towards Rex.” I literally jumped away from the voice behind me. Turning around, I saw a human with wings behind his back.

“Michael…” Vol spoke. “What are you doing here? Did dad sent you?”

“Who else Vol?” Michael said, as he walked over to Rex. “If you haven’t gotten in his way, all of this would have been avoided.”

“Me!? Tell that to Rex! I was trying to stop him from doing something he’ll regret!” Vol answered back at this Michael person. “I mean, seriously, what was dad thinking about choosing someone like him!?”

“I can say the same for why he created and took care of you?” Wow, shots fired.

Grunting, Vol snapped his fingers and we were all cleaned up of his blood. Including Rex.

“I was an accident, I wasn't made on purpose.” Vol said afterwards.

“So, what can I do for you, you angelic prick.” Vol sneered at Michael.

“Oh, father send me down here, to keep you lot from killing each other.” Michael said as he shot Vol with a glare. “And don’t try that tone with me, boy. You know what happened last time you did that with Gabriel.”

“Threatening me are you? Remember, I beat you in fights when I was just a thousand years old.” Vol said, earning a grunt from the archangel as he had the face of embarrassment.

“You got lucky!” The Arch angel shouted in outrage.

“That's what you said the other six hundred and ten times you've challenged me.” Vol said with a smirk as he pulled out an ancient scroll with gold handles on it. He opened it up and showed everyone the contents of the scroll. It was divided in half with Vol’s full name on the left and Michaels on the right, under each name was a number. Vol had the exact number he had said earlier while Michael had none.

“Beaten by a child, how did that make you feel?” Vol mocked Michael. Michael finally lost and drew his sword, about to attack Vol in anger but was soon stopped by a set of two bayonets.

I looked over to the owner of the two blades and saw Nyx with an angered look. I then heard the sound of magic being used behind me, I looked back to see that Twilight had summoned her own weapon.

I looked back at Vol and saw the smirk never left.

“Dad, why do you get yourself into these types of situations?” Nyx asked her father.


PoV: Volburaal Nahlii


As I stood there, smirking at my victory of pissing off cousin Michael, I looked over to Nyx.

“Sweetie, if I knew why, I wouldn't be in this mess.” I said, earning a confused look from the Archangel.

“Who is this? And why has she just referred to you as dad?” Michael said, narrowing his eyes at me. I grabbed his sword, melting it in my grasp as my disguise went back up.

“The reason is, that she..” I said as I bent over to pick up Nyx, resulting in a yelp of surprise from her.

“Is my daughter.” I finished as I straightened back up with Nyx in my arms. She had made her bayonets dissolve into a dark cloud.

“And who's the maiden behind me? Surely mortals are smarter than to aim their weapons at an archangel.” He asked me. I glared at him as Nyx moved up to my back as I grabbed hold of Michael.

“Watch it, that's my wife you're talking about.” I said, enraged at his comment towards Twilight.

“You married a mortal? That is against the rules and you know it!” Michael said. At the mention of the rules of my father and his immortals I laughed, I laughed harder than Mark Hamill’s Joker.

“Since when did I followed the rules? Hell, Tyrael did his job but was casted out of his own domain for bringing Justice! And guess what! He came back to help your sorry asses against Diablo in the siege of the High Heavens!” I said with a hearty laugh.

Michael looked at me in anger but he knew I had a point, the rules are only setting them back from doing what their titles are for.

“Fine, but why though?” He said with a sigh.

“Well, I honestly didn't think it was possible but I had managed to fall in love with her. At first I chose to ignore the feeling but the longer I stayed, the more I knew these feelings were real. I didn't fall for her beauty, her status or for shits and giggles, I fell in love with a smart, funny, kind, caring mare who could deal with my insanity.” I explained my reason. Michael nodded as he turned to look at Twilight.

“And what is your reason for being him?” He asked Twilight.

“He had made me feel special, like I was truly important to the world and helped get out of my depression. He had arrived only a few months after I had divorced my ex, he had been going out with other mares behind my back and mistreated my daughter, Nyx.” Twilight started to explain as her sword had disappeared in a lavender light. She then walked and stood beside me.

“When ever he had seen me in depression, he would devote his time to help me vent out or be the shoulder I could cry on. I guess after a while, I had fallen for him, though I wanted to think otherwise but the more I got to know him, the better the feeling was. He's funny, kind, cares for the well being of the innocent, smart and he's a great role model for Nyx, though sometimes I'd think other wise.” She said as she looked at me with a disapproving look.

“But that's the kind of silliness I love about him. If everyp-one thought my life couldn't get any more bizarre, well they had another thing coming.” She said as she gave me a small kiss.

“Love you too, Twilight.” I said as I held her in an embrace. I looked over to the archangel.

“May I ask the amount of time you'll be staying?” I asked, calm and collective. 

“Until I get orders from your father that I'm needed elsewhere, why?” He asked, earning a smirk.

“Reasons, such as.” I said as I snapped my fingers, consuming Michael in a torrent of golden flames. Once the fire dissipated, it left a pegasus stallion with a brown mane and tail, his coat an alabaster white. His wings were also a golden yellow, he wore a set of Archangel armor and had reinforced plasteel platings on his wings.

He looked at himself and then looked at me, with a hardened glare.

“You need to fit in, I'm trying not to cause panic, but you and Rex are making it really difficult.” I said, earning a sigh of acceptance from the former angel.

“Welcome to the mortal like, Mickey. Though you'll need a new name for the time being.” I said as Michael looked at the melted remains of his sword as it reshaped itself and solidified back into its former glory.

Sighing, he placed his sword away. “Very well, although I’m still worried about Rex.”

“Why?” Twilight asked him. “He’s been very destructive ever since he came here.”

“True. But then again, what human isn’t?” That question he aimed at me. “Did you not sense his humanity?”

“I did, and he even told me. Although now I’m questioning his temper. Rex keeps acting on his rage. Is this what dad meant; him being worried about Rex’s psychological stability?” I asked and he nodded his head.

Before we could discuss this further, a certain pink Alicorn princess of love spoke up. “Um, excuse me…” Cadence, along with her husband came up towards us. “I don’t mean to be rude but, can I see this Rex please?”

I raised a brow at this. “Why would you want to…?” Then it hit me, which only made me sigh. “Cadence, I’m not sure how that’s gonna go over well. He might take that as an invasion of privacy.”

Cadence looks down at Rex in sadness… Wait, sadness?

“I need to help him.” She stated as she got closer to Rex and bent down. “He needs to feel it again…”

“Feel what again?” I asked her, very confused about it.

“This.” As Cadence said that, she leaned in and…. Kiss him!? No, seriously, she was kissing him, in front of us all! Even Shining was stunned, if not only hurt by this.

“Awkward!” I heard the distant shout of a random stallion.

Soon Rex’s eyes started to flicker open, and when he saw her kissing him, he immediately broke the kiss and sat up in shock.

“Woah, easy man! It’s just Cadence!” Hyde said as he came to his side.

“I can see that…” Rex said in a normal tone. But still feeling shocked. “But why did she do that?”

“Okay, um, we don’t know why she did that.” He answered Rex. “But - and sorry if this is cutting it close - how did it feel, the kiss I mean?”

“Something only lovers do behind closed doors, and that’s saying a lot.” Rex explained to us, which we turned to Cadence.

“I…” She started. “I did it because… Of how much love he’s holding back…”

“Him?” I pointed at Rex. “I’m sorry Cadence, but I can’t see your point-- OW!!!” I yelped as someone kicked me in the shin.

“Vol!” Oh crap, that was Twilight who did it. “What’s wrong with you!? That’s like saying you don’t love me or Nyx!”

“That's not what I meant!” I shouted, running the pain away.

“Then what is it!?” She shouted back.

“I just can’t see him in a stable relationship, of any kind, whatsoever! Period!”

“B-b-but, I can make it work for him!” We all stared at Cadence when she said that, even Rex was… Nervous? “I can find him the perfect match!”

“Oh god why?” Rex said.

“For once, I’m with you on this one.” I stated. 

“I'm at a loss here.” I heard Michael say but was ignored.

“What the--!? Michael!? When did you get here!?”

“A few minutes ago, the boss sent me here t-” He didn't finish as his eyes grew to the size of dinner plates.

“I had just used a mortal word to call our lord! I'm so dead.” Michael said with a panicked expression.

Everyone and I do mean everyone stared at him with looks of unamusement towards him. Michael noticed this and clamped up, now knowing that life of a mortal is harder than he thought.

“Why do I feel like I should find an isolated area and be alone?” He asked himself.

“It just means you don't like to be the center of attention.” Hyde said, making turn towards him.

“Jak doesn't like to be the center of attention, but when he is, he tries to scare everyone away and it's kinda understandable as he's an anti-social and it's worse when he's depressed or in self-loathing.” Hyde said.

“Hmm, I think that's what it is.” Michael said as looked over to me.

“I still have my strength and agility, right?” He asked, earning a nod from me. He sighed in relief, knowing that he hasn't lost his traits.

I noticed how we had gotten a rather large crowd around us, staring at what's happening right now. I snapped my fingers, making the group of ours appear in the Crystal palace as I stayed behind to deal with the crowd.

I took out a set of black sunglasses and put them on, then I took out a de-neutralizer. I pressed the small red button, making a set of three buttons appear as it extended.

I hovered over the one with the label one hour and aimed at the crowd.

“Mares and Gentlecolts, if I could have your attention please.” I said outloud, gaining the full attention of the crowd. I pressed the button, making a bright red flash blind everyone.

They stood there with blank faces.

“Mares and Gentlecolts, I'm sorry for the inconvenience of the two Neanderthals having a drunk fight, so rest assured they've been placed under arrest. Thank you and have a nice day.” I said, before disappearing in a torrent of black fire.


Third person


As the fire left the vicinity, leaving countless stallions and mares blinking at the newly implanted memory, except for one elder earth pony with pitch black glasses and a cane. He wore an orange tunic and some shorts, he also appeared to be wearing a turtle shell on his back.

The stallion stood looking the direction that Volburaal stood on as Diamond dog walked up behind him. The diamond dog wore an orange gi, with a strange mark on his back.

“Master?” The Diamond Dog asked, though his call was not heard by the elder as he looked to be contemplating about something.

“Hmm, hmmm...Kay bye.” The elder stallion said to no one in particular as he his a quick one eighty degree spin and began walking.

“Master, what now?” The Diamond Dog asked the elder stallion.

“Well, after whatever happened over there, I think it's safe to say that it's better living in my island than to be another hour out here. Shen! Grab M’Dick!” The elder stallion shouted, making the diamond dog look at him with a bemused look.

“Please tell me you mean the car.” The Diamond Dog said, uncomfortable about the awkward situation.

“Heh!” The Elder stallion chuckled as they began to walk towards a dune buggy that had a small flag with the words M’Dick in the wind.





(Carolus Rex, Crystal Palace…)

After being teleported inside, we were all suspended in midair for a few seconds before falling down onto the floor. Groans of pain were heard all around, as I tried to get up, and I do mean try.

Looking as to why, I found Cadence sitting on top of me. Unfortunately I was also looking underneath her skirt, seeing her panties. Gotta say though, not a bad pair she had on her.

But enough of that. Looking back at her face, which is glowing red, I told her. “Cadence, could you get off of me.”

What she did next, wasn’t very appropriate, because all she did was slide down, from my chest, to my crotch.

“Cadence this is the exact opposite to what I want from you.” I said to her, but she’s not paying attention. Rolling my eyes, I sat up, grabbed her, and carried her bridal style as I got up. “Seriously, Cadence, not funny.” I firmly stated.

“I don't think she's listening. I'm not an expert in mortal affections but I can tell she's in her own little heaven right now.” Michael said.

“Oh Michael, you’re such a loud mouth, aren’t you?” I said to him, while glaring at him for that little remark.

“Hey now, let’s not get hasty here.” Michael said as he raised his hands. “I didn't mean it to offend you.”

I didn't have time to reply as a torrent of black fire emitted in the center of the room. Once the fire was gone, Vol stood in the center, holding a little device and wore sunglasses.

“Okay…” Was all I could say at this scene.

“Um… Hey, can I have my wife back?” I heard what I assume is Shining Armour. Turning around, I saw the little shorty and just immediately hated him. “Hey, what’s with the glare?”

“You…” I snarled at him and moved away from him.

“W-woah, now wait a minute here.” He said with a nervous smile. “There’s n-no reason for being nasty.”

He tried to get close, but I growled at him, and made him back off.

“Now Rex.” Michael spoke up. “You can’t go around growling at people.”

“I don’t trust him.” I sneered.

“Maybe so, but you know you can’t--”

“I know!” I snapped. “But is he really worth her time?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Michael, Alicorns are the immortals of this world. In case you’ve forgotten that.” I explained to him, which made him take a step back.

“Oh… Right.” He said as his ears fell down. “That is… Problematic.”

“Well, that and I wouldn't trust him with any other woman.” I added.

“Of course.” He said with a deadpan expression. “But the boy seems like a nice enough fellow.”

“Hey…” Armour whined at that. “What’s that suppose to mean?”

“Nothing fagnuts. Now shut up.” I told him off.

“Rex.” Cadence spoke up.

“Hm?”

“Not that I mind being carried by you like this, which is pretty hot…”

“I’m going to pretend I didn't heard that one.” Well, I see where this is going.

“But… Maybe I should stick with you, for now…” That got us all confused.

“Why?” I asked her.

Cadence looked like she was about say something else but stopped as we all heard the sound of a car passing by, wait what? I walked towards the nearest window and saw a small buggy with an elder stallion and a diamond dog driving the vehicle.

I had focused my hearing to see if they're a threat of any kind.

“Shen, I've been meaning to ask.” The elder stallion said as the diamond dog turned to look at him with an angered look.

“Knew it, I friggin’ knew it!!” The Diamond Dog shouted as the elder stallion smirked and shouted.

“How's it feel, ridin’ M’Dick!?” The elder stallion shouted with a hearty laugh, earning a groan of frustration.

“Two months! Two months, you've been holdin’ on to that one!” The diamond dog shouted in anger, earning a serious reply from the elder stallion.

“You don’t know the patience I have. Didn’t answer my question, either.” The Stallion said, earning a sigh of annoyance.

I chuckled at the idiotic joke, it may be stupid but it's funny. I took another look at the buggy before turning back to the group, I noticed it had a flag waving around with the words M’Dick in the wind.

“Heh! Fucking old man.” I commented.

“What was that all about? Do you know?” Cadence asked.

“Yes, but you won’t get the joke. Only Vol, Jak, and myself knows what it’s about.” I answered her.

“Know what?” Vol asked as he came up to us.

“Oh, just a familiar joke from back home.” I pointed out for him see and he chuckled when he saw it.

“By my father's beard, that dirty old man.”

“Would you rather it say something else?” I asked him.

“Like what?” He said with a bemused look.

“Like… Titties all day, everyday.” I answered him. But then out of nowhere.

“TITTIES ALL DAY, EVERYDAY!!!” We heard an entire crowd shouted out what I said, from somewhere.

We were all silent for a few moments, only because I, Vol and Jak, are trying very, very hard not to lose our shit. Unfortunately, our faces betrayed us as Twilight was glaring at us.

“Don’t….” As soon as she started though, we’ve lost our shit.

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” The entire castle, if not only the empire, was filled with hysterical laughter, coupled with incessant as well.

“Hehehe my god! Rex, why would you think of something like that!?” Vol asked, while trying to stop laughing long enough to get that out.

“I don’t know!” I said as I fell to my knees. Tears streaming down. “It just popped up in my head!”

I noticed that Vol stopped laughing as he turned to look at Twilight.

“Um, Twi, where's your crown?” Vol asked, making the mare in question try to feel the crown on her head, to no avail.

“Son of bitch.” She muttered out in anger as me and Vol noticed an orange unicorn mare running away like a mad woman.

I turned to look at Vol, seeing if he had any idea on what to do.

“Ugh, let's go get the crown back.” He said with little to no enthusiasm. We proceeded to follow the mare in our own pace.

“Oh for god sakes…” I muttered as I put Cadence down, got up, and started chasing that thieving bitch throughout the castle.

“Persistent fool!” The thief shouted as she used her magic to knock things down, trying to slow me down. In which failed horribly for her, as I just practically weaved my way through it all.

“What!?” She shouted in surprised shock.

“Bitch, you ain’t stoppin’ shit from fucking you up! Ya cunt!” I shouted at her as I pulled out my Deathlock Rangers, and started shooting at her.

I wasn’t trying to kill her, per se, but rather lead her astray. However she got in this palace, is where she’ll try to get out the same way. Well, time for a game of ‘Cat & Mouse’.

“To your left!” I said as I shot at her right side, making her go left.

“Watch it, you crazy psychopath!” She shouts as I chase her down, like prey.

“Oh, this is gonna be fun!” I said as I laughed my head off. This is where, I’m about to lose my head.

The Trio of Destruction

Ch.4: Equestria Girls: Here we go again!



Volburaal Nahlii
Crystal Empire


After seeing Rex run off towards the thief, though no one knows why as we could just track her via magic.

Honestly, I'm pissed. I'm trying to do what's right for this place and the only one cooperating is Jak. Then there's Rex losing his shit from something he could've ignored and move on, now there's a thieving bitch on the loose with my wife's crown.

Speaking of which, there was the choice in becoming king and queen, but we rejected it with little to no thought towards it.

One it means complete responsibility for Equestria. Two the day and night cycles. And three, me and Twilight really, really hate politics.

I even tried turning down the title for prince, why, because I'm the son of God, king of kings and all that jazz, I don't want another useless title.

Anyway back to the matter at hand, Me and Twilight knew where this was going, so instead of chasing the perpetrator down, we decided to take our time.

“I'll bet ten bits Rexy's chasing the mare while shooting.” Pinkie said as she walked next to both AppleJack and Rainbow Dash.

“It just means more of a mess for me to clean.” Me and Michael said simultaneously, ignoring the looks we've been getting.

“Are you sure these are what ponies wear?” Michael asked, changing the subject towards his new clothing. While walking along I had changed his attire to fit in with the crowd. He wore a plain black shirt, a red jacket and some jeans.

“Yes, so deal with it.” I said as I felt Nyx tug onto my shirt, signaling me to turn right. She sat between my shoulders, she likes being with me a lot, I guess it has something to do with being the kind of father she always wanted.

“Daddy, can I ask you something?” Nyx asked me.

“What is it, Nyx?”

“It’s about Carolus Rex. Why is he like that?” I sighed at this.

“Honestly, I don’t know that much of him, darling. All I know is that he’s been through shit and is still pissed with that. At least, I think it is that.” I answered her as much as possible. “Although, maybe when my dad gets here, he can tell us.”

“You sure?” Nyx asked.

“Nyx, this is your grandfather we’re talking about. Even I know Rex needs to talk to the old man.” At the mention of dad, I turned towards Michael. “But, then again, he did send one of his trustees of Archangels.”

“It is not my place to speak of Rex’s past…” Michael retorted.

“Oh, you total cop-out!” I shouted at him. “Listen, I don’t give a flying rat's ass about your protocols and shit! We all need to understand why Rex is like he is now!”

He sighed at this. “Isn’t it obvious?”

“What’s suppose to be obvious!?” Now I’m getting really pissed off. “Stop trying to dodge the question and tell us already!”

He shook his head, and motion me to come closer. I don’t think he wants any of the others to hear this. Whispering into my ears, I got quite the shock when he spell just one word. But he is right: it should have been obvious.

“W-A-R.” Just from that one word made...a little bit of sense. But that only brought up more questions. What kind of war was he fighting? Was is happening on Earth, or his Equestria? Did he lose family in the war? There were so many questions that I could have sworn my brain was gonna explode!

“Fuck it.” I ultimately decided and muttered out.

“You will have to wait. For now, can I trust you to show Rex the way?” Michael asked.

“Michael, I don’t know if I can. I mean, his motto was pretty specific about his actions, as of late.” And to emphasis that, we heard some explosions going off. “See! That’s his one and only answer to solving things!”

“I know. But I can’t do much myself. I don’t know how mortals work anymore.”

I rolled my eyes at this. “Of course you wouldn’t…”





(Sunset Shimmer…)

Oh… This is bad! This is bad! This is very bad!

“GET YOUR FUCKING SORRY ASS BACK HERE!!!” Yeah. So it turns out, I managed to enraged an Alicorn. A male Alicorn, that I did not see, nor heard of before. Right now, he’s trying to kill me! He’s got guns, grenades, all the tools needed to kill someone or something.

“They never told me about there being male Alicorns.” I muttered under my breath, getting tired from all this running. “Maybe I…should have...worked out...more often…”

Running around a corner, I hid myself in one of the many big rooms. This one seems to have been going under refurbishing. Hiding underneath a covered table, I heard the Red Alicorn charging straight through the doors, knocking them right off their hinges.

“Come out, come out, wherever you are…” He said as he walked around. Luckily the room was, partially, dark. So it gave me an opportunity to use one of them.

“Okay, here goes nothing.” I whispered as I activated an orb, rolled it out and the whole room went up in smoke. Taking the chance, I ran as quickly as possible, and escaped through the door.

“Ha! Take that, you daft buffoon!” I shouted in victorious revelation. Because once the orb is active, there is more to it than just a smokescreen.

Soon, I made it back to where I’ve entered. Sighing in relief, I was about to walk on through when I heard a voice.

“Hello~” Immediately, I froze in place.

“Spoke too soon, I presume. Thought you could hide from me, Ha!” That voice… Whoever it belonged to, really sent chills throughout my entire being.

“W-w-who’s there?” I stuttered out, looking all around the room to find him.

“Oh, you know one of the guys trying to find you but where's the fun in that, I'd expected more from you, Sunset Shimmer.”

“Wait! How do you know my name!?” I shouted in surprise. “I haven’t been in Equestria for some time!”

“I have my sources, though ol’ Sunbutt told me all about you. How you felt like you were ready but thought that she was holding out on you.”

I growled at that part. “So Celestia told you how it went down between us.”

“Yes, you abandoned your studies and left your home just to prove a point that you could wear a crown! And they call me crazy, Ha Ha ha~!” Okay, now I’m officially freaking out right now.

“Look! I got places to be, so I’ll just make myself scarce!”

“Oh by all means, it'll just make this game fun, just wait until you're looking through the other end of my gun when I find you~, hehehehehehaha HAHAHAHAHA~!”

Okay, that’s it! I’m outta here! “Well, it was nice talking to you! I won’t hold you up, alright bye!!” With that said, I jumped straight through the mirror portal, and made it back on the other side. Breathing in and out to calm myself, I was about get up when I saw a note on the ground. Picking it up, I read it and soon regretted ever picking it up.

‘See ya soon!’

“Just what have I gotten myself into?” I said as I threw the note away, got up, and started running. But the feeling of having an enraged Alicorn out to kill me, while tangling with a sadistic psychopath wanting to torture me, before ending it… Just thinking about it almost made me wet myself.

Good thing it’s still night time.



Volburaal Nahlii
Crystal Empire


I smirked as my little threat worked, fear is one of those little things I use to my advantage, from making them commit Heinous crimes, to just killing themselves.

I placed two fingers on my throat, then began to rearrange my vocal cords back to normal. After a few minutes of rearranging, I stopped as I placed it back to normal.

“This'll be fun.” I said to myself.

“So it would seem.” I looked behind me and saw Rex dragging something dead with him.

“So, the mirror leads back to a human world Equestria.” I said, turning to look at the mirror.

“Yes, and unfortunately I wish it was never invented. But my warnings were not heeded.” He said as he chucked the dead beast on the ground.

“Also, while you were killing that thing, Hyde had passed out and Jak took control again.” I told him.

“Good, we’re gonna need him. Also, the All-Father texted me.” He said as he brought out his iPhone.

“My children. I’m afraid the enemy has made themselves known.

That girl, Sunset Shimmer, is being played the fool and she does not realise it. As such, I took the liberty of adding things over here, on the other side of the mirror.

For now, Vol, you, your lovely wife, and Jak, must attend to high school. Rex, you’ll be made the new PE teacher of this school.

Michael, I have gotten you all a place where you can all come back to. Please, take care of Nyx while they are at school. Fret not, for I have acquired some assistants for you.

As for the rest of you, make your way to the principal’s Office, once you pass on through.

Take care. I believe in you all. ;)”


“Please tell me he isn't bringing Malthael back.” Michael said.

“Who’s that? A betrayer of sorts?” Rex asked him.

“Sort of. Malthael is my uncle, he took care of me when Dad was too busy. He was The Archangel of Wisdom.” I said to Rex.

“So why do I get the feeling he’s not anymore?” Rex asked. “Did something happen to him?”

“He's in purgatory.” Michael said.

“Ouch. That sucks.” Rex commented.

“Well, with him being the Angel of Death, it's no big surprise.” I said with a calm tone while Twilight looked at me with wide eyes.

“Holy titty-fucking Christ.” Rex said.

“Hey!” Michael shouted at him.

“Oh fuck off Mickey! Nobody gives a damn about your shoddy little opinion!” Rex snapped at him. Which actually got him to shut up. Wow. How the mighty have fallen...

“Well, now I know that you have a fear of Rex, something for me to tell the legion along with all the fights you lost against me.” I said with chuckle as Michael crossed his arms.

“.... Rex is the last, and I mean the LAST, person I want to fight against.” He said as he turns the other way. “I cannot stress that enough.”

“Also…” Rex spoke as he wrapped an arm around his neck, and reeled Michael in close to him. “What was that about a certain rule, forbidding us Immortals from getting into relationships with those we watch over?” And from the sound of things, he’s pretty pissed with that.

“Alright Rex, that’s enough. You can let him go now.” I told him in a calm manner. “We won’t get much done by doing this sort of thing soldier.” At the mention of that, he let go of Michael.

“Wow. He actually listened to you, Vol.” Twilight stated the obvious.

“Twilight, I’d appreciate it if you refrain from thinking of him as a dog.” I told her in a stern tone. Her ears drooped when she heard that. “I wasn’t ordering him, I was asking him.”

“But… Whenever we did that…” She tried to speak.

“Not now dear.” I said to her. “Sometimes it’s best to let them be. Can we please all focus on the mission?” I got nods from all around.

“Well alright! Let’s go!” Rainbow Dash said as she flew towards the mirror, but was stopped by Twilight’s magic. “Huh!?”

“Sorry Rainbow, but you’re not coming with us. None of you girls are really.” She told them all, which brought confused looks from them.

Sighing, she started explaining it to them. “Girls, Vol’s father, God, has given us six to go over there.”

“What!?” They all shouted together.

“I’m sorry girls, but whatever's over there, might give rise to suspicion.”

“Well, that is possible.” Rarity spoke. “But…”

“Here's a question.” Rex interrupted. “How high are the chances, of meeting your human counterparts?” Oh I get where he's going with this. But then again… “Vol, if you please.”

“Sure!” He isn’t wrong about that outcome.

I focused on making a hologram with both the mane six and their counterparts.

“If these are like the other humans, then they'll be hungry for knowledge no matter how they get their hands on it. But if they're not, there's also the amount of confusion it'll bring towards both you and your counterparts and I can't stress that enough.” I said, as I mixed up their holograms with their counterparts and Vice-versa.

“Outcome: Planet goes boom.” Rex finished. “That is what you call a paradox.”

“He's got a point.” We all turned to look at a dark grey stallion with a curved horn and black mane. 

“It's good to see you, Sombra. How's it like being the royal adviser?” Twilight greeted him, earning a bow from him as a sign of greetings.

“It's...different but not bad mind you, I'm still studying black magic, without affecting any of it on me this time.” Sombra said. He wore white button shirt and a brown vest and brown pants. He wore a set of glasses and it had little magnifying glasses attached to them.

“Speaking of which, Sombra, did you take any supplies from our storage rooms?” Cadence asked.

“I did yes, though I was pretty sure I left a note. I've been trying to experiment with the invisibility spells and I wanted to see if it was possible to enchant an item to give the user invisibility for as long as they have it on, so far I've only managed to make it blow up in my face.” Sombra said with a pout. Nyx waved at him with bright smile, eliciting a smile from him and a small wave.

Although, realising that Sombra’s here, I looked back at Rex to make sure he didn't go ape shit on him. Turns out, he wasn’t gonna acknowledge his presence, as he was facing the other way.

“Hello, Nyx.” Sombra greeted my daughter.

“Hi, Mr Sombra.” Nyx said with a smile. Sombra walked up to me as he held out his hand, I grasped it and gave it a friendly shake. He then noticed Rex, then walked up to him.

“Is there something wrong, Sir?” He asked him.

“..... No.” Rex said. “Everything is fine.” After that, he walked off. “I’ll go get Jak and explain it to him. For now, you lot get ready.”

As he left the room, without causing a scene, we all have out big sighs in relief. “Thank my father…” I muttered under my breath.

“Um, did I do something wrong?” Sombra asked. Looking very confused.

“It's kinda hard to explain.” I said to him.

“So, I should just go back to the lab and continue my experiments.” Sombra said as he walked back to the door, opened it and before he closed it he shouted.

“Allonsy!” He shouted as he closed the door behind him.

“Well, that was something.” I stated.

“You think Rex was holding it in?” Pinkie asked.

“I think so.” I answered. “Although, I think he’s saving it for his one.”

“Damn straight.” Rex said, as he scared everyone in the room, except for me.

“Okay, so what do you tend to do, once you get back?” I asked him, as Jak walked out behind him.

“Trust me, you don’t wanna know.” Jak warned us. “Because it’s not a pretty one.”

“Jak, anything Rex does, is not a pretty thing. Period.” I retorted.

“Whatever. Are we going now?” Rex asked.

“Why the rush?” I inquired. He then points to Cadence, who was staring at him with the most adorable sad puppy eyes. Oh crap!

“Staying here any longer, will result in--”

“Okay! We’re leaving!” With that said, I grabbed the lot and jumped straight through the mirror.





After popping out on the other side, I placed everyone on the ground and got a look at ourselves.

I looked over to Twilight. She wore a white blouse and a lavender vest, along with a purple skirt and a light magenta tie.

“Looking sharp, Twilight.” I commented my wife.
She blushed at the comment as she looked at her clothing.

“Thanks Vol. You’re not looking too bad yourself either.” She gave a comment her own.

I smiled at her. “Why thank you, milady.” After that, I performed a fancy bow to her, and it made her giggle.

“That’s a pretty good combination you two got on.” We heard Rex said. Looking behind me, he was still as he is, when we first met. His style of clothing, his cool-looking anime hair-do. The only difference is that now he’s back to being human, wear boots and black leathered gloves, and a… Goatee? And why is it black with red tips, instead of red with black tips?

I looked over to Nyx and saw her, she wore a camo green shirt with the words U can't c me and some camo pants to go with the shirt, it wasn't to long, the pants stopped just above her ankles.

Then I looked over to Michael, which ironically looked like a priest that went to hell and back. He wore a black vest and grey shirt, black pants and had a necklace of the cross.


I had summoned a full body mirror to examine myself and Damn, I look good.

“This look suits me, if I do say so myself.” I said, using Takahata’s Alucard voice. I did a little twirl as I examined my current attire.

“Though, I need to look my age.” I said that part to myself as I snapped my fingers again, this time making some appropriate clothing for this moment. I had changed from Alucards clothes to the new clothes I've just made.

A black shirt with blood painted on some parts with the words The Crimson Fukr in the front while in the back there were words painted to look like blood and it read Fuck Mothering Vampire. Along with a pair of jet black pants with a cross made of two bullets hanging from the right pocket.


I heard a groan behind me. I looked over to see Jak getting up from the floor. He didn't really change, except his ears are smaller but still sharp. He wore a jacket that looked to have seen better days, judging by some of the armor platings and jeans. I noticed a white undershirt that ain't so white anymore.


“Well, I guess we’re all set.” Rex said as he looked to Michael. “Take Nyx to the house we’re gonna be staying. Here’s the street and number of the place.” Taking out his phone, he showed him where to go.

“Alright, but shouldn’t we have some sort of vehicle.” He asked.

“Sorry, but you’re gonna have to walk there.” Rex told him.

With a sigh, he nodded. “Very well. Just make sure you all keep a tight lip on who you really are. We don’t want to cause a scene.” With that said, Michael waited for Nyx. “Are you going to say goodbye, little one?”

She ran up to both me and Twilight, and we hugged it out.

“Bye mummy. Bye daddy.” We heard her say, before letting go of us.

“You behave while we’re gone. Okay?” Twilight told her.

“Okay, mommy.” She replied, as she and Michael started to walk off to our house.

“Alright, we should get going.” Rex said as we started walking to high school.

“So, what should we be expecting once we get there?” Jak asked.

“It’s a high school, Jak. You should expect the same things from any other.” I replied. I heard him mumble about retaking senior year.

“Ooooh! I can’t wait! All of the new things to explore and study!” Twilight gleefully expressed.

“Twi, do us all a favour, and try not to choke on your own fucking foot.” Rex said.

“Huh?” She was confused from that. “What do you mean? And what’s a foot?”

“Twilight, I’m about to smack one upside your head, if you ask another stupid question.” Rex sneered.

“Twilight, honey, feet are what you’re walking with now.” I intervened before shit hits the fan.

“Also, I’m the prime example.” Jak offered.

Twilight blushed in embarrassment.

“Anyway, we’re almost there.” Rex said as we turned around the corner. And what do you know, he was right.





(Carolus Rex, CHS…)

“And here we are…” I said as we walked through the school. It was still a fair bit early before things started for the day. As we were walking, students have been giving us stares and whispered amongst each other.

Vol returned it by flipping the bird at them, with Alucard's grin.

Rolling my eyes, we found the principal's office and entered in. And lord and behold, it was Tia.

“Ah, good morning.” She greeted us with a smile. “Please, take a seat.”

Doing as she asked, we all pulled out a chair and sat in them.

“Well, now that you’re all here, how about introductions? I’m Celestia, principal of this school.” She introduced herself to us.

“I'm Volburaal Nahlii, don't ask about the name it's tradition from where I come from but people call me Alucard for my resemblance to the Vampire.” Vol introduced himself first.

“Which one?” I asked him cheekily. “Because there’s two version of him.”

Vol glared at me. “It sure ain’t the white one.”

“But their both white.” I retorted.

“Shut up.” He said as I laughed a little bit.

“Hello Principal Celestia, I’m Twilight Sparkle.” Twilight said her piece next.

“The name’s Jak.” Jak said simply.

Lastly, was me. “I’m Carolus Rex, the new P.T. Instructor.”

“P.T.?” Tia asked.

“Physical Training.” I answered.

“Oh! Well, I’m sure you’ll do your best for the students.” She smiled at that.

“That depends on whether they can keep up.”

Vol laughed at that, he is really enjoying this, isn't he.

Tia looked at him confusingly, until she paid it no mind. “Well, I’m sure you’ll all have a great time at this school of ours. Here are your timetables.” She passes out the timetable sheets to us, although, mine differences from the rest.

“These will be yours until the end of the year. Until then, please students, could you leave us two alone. I must speak with Mr. Rex here.” We all looked at each other and I nodded my head to them. They got up and left the room, leaving only me and Tia.

“So, what is it you want to discuss?” I asked her.

“Well, for starters, how much does ‘Physical Training’ differs from ‘Physical Education’?” She inquired.

“Unlike P.E, it doesn't have paperwork.” I told her. “The only paperwork I’m handing out to them, are instructions on how each exercise works. I’ll also be giving them a brief run on how it should be done. Once then, they’ll get into it.”

“This sounds a lot like military training.” She commented, which made me laugh. “Is something funny?” She raises a brow.

“Yes, there is!” I answered her. “One: if I was gonna give them the full-on scale of military training, all of the students will be dropping like flies!”

“Oh…” She stares at me.

“Two: this is nothing but a set-up, upon how the military would work.” I explained. “Besides, I can already tell there are those who want to join one of the three services.”

“Well, I suppose that’s true…” We heard the bell ring, signaling the first period. “I should show you the schools gym. Your students will be waiting.” Nodding my head, we got up and headed out.

“Oh wait!” Or so I thought.

“What is it? Missing something?” I asked her.

“Yes, actually, the General recommended you and those three the day before yesterday. He also left a sports bag with your name and rank on it.” As she said that, Tia went to get it and gave it to me. “I don’t know much on how you military people operate, but I know you’re pretty brutal. That’s why I needed to be sure.”

“I understand.” I said to her. “Also, the General wouldn't happen to be Vol’s father, correct?”

“Oh yes, it was!” She answers me. “He said that you served under him a while back, and was one of the best Staff Sergeants he had the privilege to have in the Army!”

I chuckled at her enlightenment. “I’m honoured. But, maybe we should get a move on.” With that said, she showed me the way towards the school's gym. Arriving there, the students were dressed and ready for action.

“Okay class, can I have your attention!” Tia spoke up to them, as they heard her, they gathered around us both. “Thank you. As of now, this man will be your new teacher. He’s a retired Staff Sergeant from the Army, has served for twenty years before resigning five years ago.” Awes were heard all around.

“As such, I expect you all to be on your best behaviour. Do as he says, because he's going to be treating this like the actual army…” She explains.

“In a sense.” I said to them. “Right now, for those who are going into one of the three services, will be able to experience how the training works.” Some of them seem excited about it, while the rest were pretty uncomfortable with the idea.

“Um, excuse me?” One of them raised their hand.

“Yes?” I answered.

“Do we...have to treat this like the military?”

“Hmm….. Yes.” I told them. “As of now, things will be treated like the military. So, as of now, it’s Staff. Don’t call me sir.”

“Why’s that?” Another one asked.

“Because you only say that to an Officer. I never made it up to that rank, such as Lieutenant and beyond that.” I explained. “And if you call any of us that, Corporal or Sergeant, you’ll get an uppercut for that.” They cringed at that part.

“Wow, I never thought it was that strict.” Tia commented.

“Military protocol and policy. Chain of Command. It’s all pretty basic stuff they teach you.” I replied, then looked back at the students. “Okay team, listen up! Here’s what we’re gonna do today….”



Twilight Sparkle.
Location: CHS, hallway


After leaving Rex with the Principal, me and Vol had gone to our first period. Jak said that he would rather fight the ‘Dark Makers’ than attending school and left to do whatever.

We arrived at our assigned lockers, luckily Vol was the neighbouring student. He had snapped his fingers, eliciting a bright flash from both our lockers.

“Go ahead.” He said with a smile and I did just that. I was greeted by a couple of books varying from History, science, math and astronomy, he even made a bag for me with my cutie mark on it. 

I turned to look at him and gave a quick kiss.

“Thank you, honey.” I said as he opened his. His eyes grew wide as he opened it. I took a peek on what he saw and I looked at him with disapproving look. A gun locker, he made a gun locker.

“Really?” I said as I looked around to see if anyone was around.

“I didn't mean for that to happen, really I didn't.” Vol said, slamming the locker shut and snapping his fingers again, he then opened it and found some text books and a bag. He picked up the bag and snapped his fingers for the third time.

“You know, I’ve been thinking about something…” I said as we were walking.

“What is it?” Vol inquired.

“About Rex. What did Michael said to you? You seemed pretty shocked.” I told him.

He frowned at that question. “Twilight, not now. I’ll tell you at another time.” He sighed. “But, in all honesty, it really was obvious.”

“Why’s that?”

“It was staring right in our faces and we chose to ignore it.” He said in a deadly serious tone, which sent chills up my spine. “How could I not have seen that? Now I feel like an total asinine idiot.”

“H-hey, it’s okay. It’s not like you could have predicted any of this happening.” I tried to calm him down, but all that did was achieving the exact opposite.

“No, but I should have guessed it. I’ve seen his type many times, and they are almost, always, right about certain events that could potentially take place.” Vol explained. “Such as now. He somehow knew a force lurking within the shadows were plotting something. He’s probably right about us being keys towards something more.”

I stared at him for a moment before he continued. “Heh. It’s funny, how someone can guess about upcoming events. Hell, Rex couldn't ignore the signs, even if he wanted to. He’s a Patriotic Saint.” I raised a brow at that last part.

“What’s that suppose to mean?” I asked him.

“It means, Rex’s the very definition of what a true soldier is.”

“So, he’s a raging killing machine, who lusts for the blood of his enemies. Swears at any and all who ticks him off slightly. And just not give a damn about anything else.” I commented.

“I’m sorry, but would you care to correct yourself.” I froze when he said that. It was in a low, but firm tone, that when he looked at me, he was angry. “Because I sure as Hell don’t like it when people start talking smack shit. Especially towards those that even gave a damn about saving your worthless life.”

I was shaking in fear under that glare of his, but when he realised that he was going too far, he sombered up and hugged me. “I’m sorry Twi. I didn't mean to act like that.”

“I know.” I whispered as I returned the hug.

“Then you also know that what you said is really offensive towards him.” He said. “He might have laughed it off, maybe. But I wouldn’t risk it, and neither should you.”

“But what about his attitude?” I asked as we separated. “He has been unreasonably aggressive.”

“There are a multitude of reasons, but we’ll leave it for later.” As he said that, the school bell rang. “C’mon, we got History first.” He lead the way to the classroom.

I was giddy on the inside, seeing as how I’m finally going to learn about Humanity’s history. I mean, I’ve been trying to get as much knowledge and understanding about it from the three. Vol wouldn't speak about it, nor Jak. Rex… Well I didn't want to enrage him with the questions. He seemed like the type to keep a tight lip about it, probably more so than the other two. Once we got there, entering inside, I was surprised to see Tirek as the teacher of this class.

“Ah! It’s the new students I’ve been hearing about.” I hid behind Vol a little bit, feeling a bit uneasy about this. “Heh heh, come now young lady. No need to be shy.”

“Sorry teach, she’s sometimes gets nervous meeting new faces.” Vol explained. I puffed my cheeks at that.

“Well, apologies for the scare. Please take your seats.” He said and we moved to our desks.

“Geez, thanks a lot, you cheeky asswipe.” I whispered, in a hissing way, at him.

He snickers quietly. “You’re welcome, honey bunny.”

Annoyed, I kicked him across from me, only to have the teacher and everyone else laugh at us.

“Oh my, lovers quarrel.” Tirek commented, and I hid my face behind some books. “Alrighty then, now let’s get started…”



 POV: Jak
Location:???


‘Fuck that shit, I don't care if it's temporary, I'm not sitting down to listen in on useless lectures, not again.’ I thought as I traversed through the empty hallway.

“The day I go back to school will be the day were Metal heads make peace.” I said to myself, finally finding locker as punched it open.

“Always works.” I said, looking through the contents of my locker, finding some Eco crystals, my morph gun and Jet-board.

I took the crystals and Jet-board while putting the gun inside the backpack. As I placed it inside, I took notice of something inside the bag.

I reached into the bag and pulled it out. My eyes grew wide as I looked at the item in question.

“How the?” I said, not able to finish my sentence. My mom's necklace, it was my mother's necklace. She gave it to me the day I left for E3 for good luck.

“But, I left it back at Haven.” I said as I noticed neatly folded note in the bag and pulled it out.

“I know this meant a lot to you, so I took the liberty to get it and give it back to you.” -G

I stared at the note, more specifically the letter G at the end. It was written somewhere else, in a movie I think it was.

I then remembered the movie Evan almighty. The letter G was written exactly like in the movie, by pen no less. I stared at the note for what felt like hours and just shrugged. I grabbed my backpack and placed the strap over my shoulder.

I set down the board, activating it just a few inches of the ground and hoppe on. I leaned a bit forwards to set the Jet-board moving.

I stomped on the accelerator, making the board speed through the hallway. I briefly saw our little thief walking by as I zoomed passed her.

I looked back as she glared at me with hate, making me chuckle, though she did look cute while being angry.

I shook my head at the thought and sped up again until I saw the exit. I quickly got off the Jet board, making it deactivate as I picked it up, giving me a running start. I stopped just a few inches away from smacking the door and went outside.

I noticed that I wouldn't get any privacy as I saw other students outside, so I began climbing the walls of the school. I could hear murmurs of disbelief from the people that had noticed me. 
‘Fucking dragon enhanced hearing.’ I thought as I took hold of the ledge of the roof and hoisted myself up with little trouble. Once on top of the building, I was alone, just like I wanted it to be.

I also noticed that the roof was cleaner than others I've seen and proceeded to sat down, cross legged.

I began to meditate the way Samos taught me to keep me in check. During my meditation, me and Hyde have been getting to know each other a little more.



‘And that's why I can't go through your memories.’ Hyde explained as I opened my eyes afters two hour of meditating.

‘So until I allow you to do so, you're left in the dark.’ I summarized his long explanation.

‘In a nutshell, yes’ He said as I took hold of my bag besides me and opened it, pulling out a blank notebook I'm going to use.

‘You like her.’ Hyde said all of a sudden, making me freeze in place.

‘What?’ I asked, curious to know what he meant.

‘Don't hide it, I know you like that thief.’ and that's when I chose to ignore the annoying fucker.

‘She's cute and all but there's no way I like her.’ I thought as I began to draw after so three years without doing so. 

After a long debate with myself on what to draw, I decided to draw the girl from earlier.



Half an hour it took to finish the drawing, I guess I still got it. I looked at the now finished drawing with color.

I closed the notebook, finished drawing for now and laid down on the concrete using my bag as a pillow and dozed off.



I was rudely woken up when I felt someone stomp on my stomach, only making me open my eyes due to my very high pain tolerance. 

I grabbed the foot of my attacker and pushed it up, causing them to fall down. I sat up as I heard the loud thud of someone hitting the floor and saw Sunset.

“The fuck you want?” I asked, angry at her attack.

“I'm here to tell you, I run this school, meaning I can make your life a living hell.” She said, quickly standing up. I raised an eyebrow at her remark.

“You mean you can overpass the hell I've been through being experimented for two years, fighting a war I had no part of and killing someone that was after my head just for the fun of it?” I asked, knowing that she couldn't top any of those. She stared at with wide eyes before shaking her head and proceeded to glare at me.

“This your only warning.” She said, walking towards the entrance of the roof.

“Right, well, when you want to shoot me in the head, give me a heads up, you'll be doing me a favor.” I said as she walked inside and closed the door behind her. I felt my shirt get wet from the inside. 

I pulled up my shirt to see that she had pierced my stomach and caused it to start bleeding. I stared at the wound as it just stitched itself back together.

I sighed as I took out my notebook again and flipped it to a blank page, then began to write down a poem I heard a long time ago.

‘Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I...
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.’ -Robert Frost

After writing it down, I closed the notebook and placed it back in my bag. I then laid back down, and began to contemplate my life.


POV: Carolus Rex
Location: CHS Cafeteria



After having done two classes, morning tea came around. During those two periods, some students seem to have come to liking my training. As for the rest, well they were still a bunch of fat fucks that needed a kick up the ass. Even if they were skinny, doesn't mean they’re fit.

Walking in the Cafeteria, I spotted Twilight and Vol.

“Hey kitties. How’s it been for you lot?” I asked the pair.

“Don't call us that.” Vol said in a serious tone.

“Shut the fuck up and play the part.” I told him with a deadpan expression, as he mumbled about something.

“So, where has our elvish prick ran off to?” This seems to caught their attention.

“You know, I forgot all about him.” Twilight commented. “He just left us when we went to our first class.”

“Stupid shit head.” I muttered.

“Relax, I know where he is.” Vol said.

“Don’t care, just make him go to class. Beside, I have all three of you for last.”

Vol was about to say something but I held up a hand as I listened in on a conversation about the elf in question.

“Did you hear about that new student? The one with the elf ears?”

“I heard he scaled up one of the schools building walls…”

“No way! None of that can be true! I mean, come on…”

“I saw him do it! Those of us that didn’t have a class were outside!”

Sighing at this, I shook my head. Well, all three of us were. “That stupid son of a bitch.” I commented quietly.

“Yep. That sounds like something he would do.” Vol stated, while Twilight just nodded her head.

“Hey!” We heard someone calling out. “Earth to newbies!” Turning towards the source, we found ourselves looking at Rainbow Dash.

“What is it you want?” Vol asked her.

“I just wanted to tell you that your pointy eared friend is on the rooftops.” She explained, and we rolled our eyes.

“Yeah, we figured as much.” I told her. “No need to tell us twice. Everyone’s talking about him.” She was about to say something else, but I held my hand up to her. “Save it. C’mon, let’s go see him.”

With that said, we got up and headed out to find Jak.



Jak
CHS, Roof
Meanwhile



After napping a little more, I had remembered what Samos told me not to long ago. He said that I have the ability to use all the other Eco types, he said that if I wanted to, I could become The sage of all Eco.

I took out my notebook and began to write in precursor text the words Life, Nature and Earth. Once I finished writing it down, the texts began to shine in a bright green light.

I sat in a cross legged position again with my eyes closed, ready to meditate and began to connect with the green eco. 

“In order to be able to connect with all green eco, you need to have a calm mind, forget the things that anger you and be at peace with nature.” Samos’ words rang through my head as I followed his steps. Forgetting all who enrage me, forgetting all those who've betrayed me and clearing my mind of my past life.

I soon began to hear whispers, thousands of whispers around me. I couldn't make heads or tails in what they were saying throughout it all.

“It's that time again birdy.” A voice as I tried to focus.

“We require water, humans!” Another voice said.

“Quiet, the sage has appeared!” A third voice said, followed by silence. I opened my eyes and I saw that I was surrounded by green, I raised an eyebrow at the eerie silence.

“Um, Hello?” I said to the plant life around the school. I received a chorus of hello’s and hi.

“Welcome Sage, we know you need answers and we'll be happy to provide you with them” I heard one say.

“Can I identify you as Zulu?” I asked, earning a yes from the voice known as Zulu.

“Alright then, first off; How do you know me?” I asked Zulu, earning murmurs from the voices, then silence.

“We knew, our creators the ones you call The Precursors told us.” Zulu answered. I facepalmed, knowing that the precursors are everywhere I go.

“We know why you're here in our world, Great Sage.” I heard a different voice.

“The ones behind all this have plans, plans that could very well turn the other world into the New Dark Maker Capitol, but they aren't the only ones.”The voice explained.

“The same race that's waging war back home.” I said to myself.

“Gahhh, Can it get any worse!?” I shouted through the green eco channel, furious beyond belief.

The anger cut off my connection, leaving a massive amount of pain in my eyes due to having them open and not blinking. I screamed in pain and anger.

“I'll fucking kill every last one of them.” I said to myself as my skin turned grey while claws grew out. I held back my anger, like I always do and went to lie back down

‘Why didn't I die back at Haven?’ I thought, letting sleep take me again.





I heard footsteps walking towards me. Of course I tried to ignore it, but what I felt next was truly painful. Getting crump at bed in the stomach wasn’t fun. Excelling a breath, I clutched my guts.

“What the… Fuck?” I wheezed out.

“Exactly what we want to know, Jak.” Oh shit, it’s Rex and that. “And you’re turning grey. Control yourself.” He stated firmly, which made me cringe.

Getting up I told them why. “Look guys, we got bigger problems. The ones behind this are making allies, real allies. The Dark Makers are in on it as well.”

“Oh great…” Vol shook his head. “Now they’re going throughout the cosmos to gather the meanest, toughest, baddest motherfuckers.” He groaned.

“But they need to select those that can stand up against us.” Rex said. “So who and where? The Dark Makers made the list, either to troll Jak, or they are a force to be reckon with.” He stated.

“I’m not so sure myself. I might have to tally up the charts for potential adversaries when we get to our place.” Vol stated.

“I’m at a lost here.” Twilight spoke up. “I mean, Vol, you said you travelled throughout the multiverse, creating and/or destroying worlds. Shouldn’t you know all of them?”

“It’s not that simple honey. There are some universes that tend to stem from the rest.” Vol explained.

“Such as?” Rex asked.

“Remember Spyro?” Vol asked us all.

“You gotta be kidding me.” I groaned at this.

“No. I can interact within worlds and such. But I can’t add any form of elements that are already in place.”

“So, what? You were that old hermit?” Rex inquired.

“Yeah, that I was.” Vol answered. “I will admit, not my best set. Nor the fact that I was a bit of an jackass to Cynder.”

“Well, shit. You think they might bring Malefor into the frame?” Rex asked.

“Hell no! We can literally fuck his shit up, without using half of our powers!” Vol exclaimed, laughing at that. “I mean, sure, he committed genocide on any and all! But comparing him to us is like making a terrible joke!”

“Still, if they picked a little girl to become a threat to us, what are the odds of that?” Rex said, which actually got us thinking. “See? Isn’t it odd to put her in a position where she’s most likely to die?”

“Hey now, let’s not jump to conclusion.” Vol stated. “Father said that she’s a pawn. So we save her.” Quietly, I let out a sigh.

“We save her, they’ll kill her. Did you forget about that outcome?” Rex retorted.

“Damn it!” Vol growled. “They would place a contingency plan on her. No witnesses, no informations.”

Before any of us could say anything else, the bell rang.

“We better get going. Jak, go to class.” Rex said to me.

“Oh c’mon man…” I groaned.

“This wouldn’t have happen if you didn’t draw attention to yourself. Now you’ll suffer the consequences.” Rex stated as we all walked off.

“At least I've been doing shit to find out more on our situation.” I said, grabbing my bag.

“What do you want out of it? A fucking medal?” Rex snarked.

“No, but a simple thank you would be nice.” I said as I started to walk towards the edge.

“Yeah, thanks a lot! Great work, you made us proud!” Vol sarcastically said.

“Listen you Fuck wit, I nearly lost my eyesight trying find clues.” I said, turning to look at the three. Vol gave me a confused look.

“Anger and green eco do not, I repeat, do not mix, like at all.” I said.

“So? Vol can give back your eyesight, dumbass.” Rex said.

“Seriously, you need help with your anger.” I said, hopping of the edge and landing on my feet. I then walked in through the front doors.

“I’m not the only one.” I jumped from Rex when he said that.

“I can control mine, years of depression and hate can do that.” I said to him, showing my grey arm as it returned to its normal color.

“I’ve been into more shit than you’ll ever be.”

“That's because you're not mortal, unlike you I am.” I said to him.

“Not a normal one, that’s for sure.”

“No one is ever declared normal.” I said with chuckle.

“Guess not.” He said as he walked off. “I have all three of you kitties for last. This should keep you fit as hell.”

“Don't expect me to do anything, I still need to find out more on who's behind all this. Besides, I hunt every day for food back at the forest and I don't slack around, I keep my Eco powers in check along with trying to figure out how to become a full Sage. ” I said to him.

Although, that creepy smile of his came back. “Unfortunately, you don’t have much of a choice. Wag my class and I’ll hunt you down.”

“Fine, but I'm not using your training, I'm a Wastelander and I vowed to my king to be one till the day I die. So, I'll just be training my reflexes and fighting.” I said.

“Again, you don’t have a choice. Damas promise doesn't apply to me, nor to anyone else.”

“It's either my method or you'll have to kill, or torture me either way I don't care what you say, what you are but when I make a promise, I tend to keep them.” I said, walking away.

But then he grabbed my shoulder, and I was about to shove him off when… I saw it. He held a look that can set anything on fire. Not even an entire army of the Krimzon Guard, or Wastelanders, or even Metalheads, can withstand this kind of thing. This is all of the fears he can hold on you. No! I won’t break! I can’t go back on my word.

“Is that supposed to do something or?” I asked him.

“Seriously, My mom scares me more than you do.” I said with a chuckle. Only to get kneed in the stomach.

“Going to have to better than that, ol’ boy!” I said with a laugh.

“How about that girlfriend of yours?” He whispered.

“Seriously? That's the way you're going, Praxis did the same with Surprise.” I replied with a grin.

But he wasn’t even getting started it seems. Grabbing my head, he started applying pressure, which really hurts like Hell. And to make matters worse, he shoves me into one of the lockers.

“Come on! Kill me!” I shouted at him with a wide grin.

“No.” He stated, which made me confused. “It’s not going to cut it.”

“A warrior must finish his enemy, so come on, end it, so I can go back home.” I said, whispering the last part.

He looks down at me, holding a face of disapprovement. “Is that what she would want?” He asked.

“What?” I asked at his sudden question.

“You’re not the only one, who never got to say a proper goodbye.” Rex said, which held some anger in it. Letting go of me, he walks off, not looking back at me. “I’ll let you off the hook for now. Just don’t tempt fate.”

Everyone was staring at me, some even seem to hate me now, heh fuck them. Soon they all went back to whatever they were doing, while I was left to wonder what he meant by...her.

“Ugh, you would've killed if you saw me this way, mom.” I said as I sat up and held on to her necklace.

I felt a few tears flow down but I wiped them away and stood up.



Sunset Shimmer



Okay, that completely failed. Trying to scare that elf thing or whatever didn’t seem to work. Not only that, but Twilight Sparkle is here as well, along with some company.

“Better go talk to them about our next move.” With that said, I started to make my way towards the basement of the school. Luckily, no one knows it, not even the principal herself.

Making sure I wasn’t being followed, I opened the door and closed it behind me, locking it to be extra sure we had privacy. Walking down the flight of stairs, I came to an wide open, empty space. Well, it was, before I activated a Comms panel to arise from the floor.

“Your call is unexpected, Ms. Shimmer. It better be important.”

“Look, Twilight Sparkle is here with some company.” I told the forever irritated assholes. “Not to mention, you didn’t tell me about male Alicorns existed.”

“...So it worked. And if our intel is correct HE should be with them.” 

“What are you on about? Who’s he?” I asked them, until it clicked. “That elf freak? That’s who you want?”

“He may look like a broken man wanting nothing but death for himself, he's the bane in our existence.” 

“Okay… What about Twilight and that? What do you want me to do with them?” I asked them, changing the subject. “What do you see in them?”

“They are not of any concern, our leader had said that they weren't allowed to interfere. Now that we have located the Hero of Time, we can finally destroy him! And soon we'll be able to reclaim what's ours!”

“Why do I get the feeling you jinxed this whole thing?”

“Watch your tongue, mortal!”

“Look! All I’m saying is that one Alicorn who chased me was pretty strong. I’m not even sure if that beast you created was enough to kill him.” I told them what happened.

“You still don't get it, do you? It wasn't supposed to work, all you did was bait them, bringing our true target along with them.”

“If this fails, it’s all on you.” I stated firmly. “Bringing all of them here is bad enough.”

“If all else fails, we'll just blow them up along with the entire planet. This time, no Planetary Defenses and it will be easy with just a press of a button. If that doesn't work, there are millions of scattered across the multiverse, we'll just keep trying.”

“WHAT!? DESTROY THE PLANET!?” I was shocked by this. “THIS WASN’T THE DEAL!!”

“Ah yes the deal, it seems now that we know where to find our target, you're no longer needed after all. You'll just have sit and watch what you've cause, millions of innocent lives dead in minutes and complete annihilation.”

“No…” I fell to knees when they said that. “So, I was just a tool…”

“Aww don't feel so down, you weren't the only one who we've used and they ended up dead by his hands and his alone.”

“And that’s suppose to make me feel better?” I said, tears starting to fall.

“No, it was just to let you know of your eminent de-”

They didn’t get to finish when I heard the door being forced open. Sounded like someone kicked it open. Soon footsteps can be heard walking down the stairs.

“I sensed them here, Dark Maker piece of shit!” Oh god, it’s him.

“Heh! So it would seem.” Wait… Him too!? That red Alicorn!?

“I still don’t understand why you’re here. I mean, we got into a hissing fit with each other!” Are they arguing?

“Simple: Sunset has PT next. I did say I’ll hunt down those who wag my class. Also, the whole fighting, it’s gonna be the norm for us lot.”

“Whatever, find anything that's Dark Maker Tech, I may not know how to find them but I know how to reprogram anything of theirs to tell me how long we have.”

“Well, if I have to guess; it will be on the Fall Formal Day. I mean, how else are they gonna introduce themselves?”

“That's just a guess I need facts, if those fuckers get in range, they won't hesitate to blow this planet up. I'm also going to need it to create a sort of E.M.P, an Eco Magnetic Pulse.”

“Dude, there’s only one room.” Hearing them reaching the room I was in, I didn’t know what to do.

“I swear if you fuckers are in here, I’ll fucking gut you and feed you to a crocadog!”

“I don’t sense their presences, only their Comms. They’re just gonna talk horseshit. But is that more than enough?” As they appeared before me, the elf guy looked from me to the Comms panel, and smiled.

“Fuck yeah, if we're lucky the thing recorded a transcript.” The elf guy said, picking up the panel.

“Well, well, well. If it isn’t the Hero of Time himself.”

“Oh my God, that was a one time thing! Get it through your thick skull, you filthy rats!”

“He ain’t the only one here, you fuckasses.”

“Ah yes, Carolus Rex, The Man of War himself. Though it saddens me that I have to say, this isn't your fight.”

“I'll just kick your furry tails, I don't need a fucking cannon to kill you.” The elf said, acting as if this happens on a daily basis.

The other one laughed. “That’s more like it! Just make sure you skin every last one of those furry fucks while you’re at it.” Oh my god, those two are insane.

“Listen, you fucks. I've taken an entire ship down single handedly, sure the cannon took care of the rest but who's to say I won't find your reactor and blow it up, or take my time in ripping you limb from limb! And all this is to honor my King, if it was for my own gain, you'll just be another kill on my list.”

The Dark Makers just laughed. “Ah yes, King Damas. Tell me, how did you feel, knowing you let him die before you, unable to save him, even if you did try?”

“Like he said to me once before, a battle cannot be one without sacrifices. The Greater the sacrifice, the greater the victory will be and his was all I needed to unlock my True Dark form.” The elf said. 

“Of course! Then again, Rex has also experienced such tragedies. So really, you both are broken being. Whether mortal, or immortal, it’s all the same.” 

“Heh, I've been broken for a long, long time. Knowing that I'm broken won't stop me. Besides, I've seen worse cases.” The elf said.

“It sure as hell didn’t stop me either. None, and I mean none, of their sacrifices were in vain.” The red one, Carolus Rex, said. “So if this is all you have to show, then you’re just a disappointment.”

The Dark maker raised a hand with only three fingers up.

“Three days, three ships, all to see his true potential. Rex, this isn't your fight, that'll be for later, an old friend of yours wants to see you again and she's ecstatic.”

At the mention of that, Rex seemed to be really pissed at this. “She’s dead. I killed her, and was she a bitch to kill.” He growled.

“Our knowledge on life and death, along with our superior technology have made it possible.”

“And the other one, Volburaal will be having a small family reunion, it'll have wine, beer and a sickle to the throat!”

The room was silent, tensions building, it was more frightening than I thought. Until, Rex smiled. Which confused all of us, including the Dark Makers themselves.

“Tell me something…” He spoke up. “Did she told you rodents everything about me?”

At this, the Dark Makers growled in frustration. “Unfortunately, no. She only told us that title of yours, the one she gave you.”

“Rex?” The elf guy said. “What is it you’re not telling us?”

He chuckled a little. “Jak, don’t you see? The Dark Makers done fuck up.”

“What are you…?” He asked, but then trailed off. Thinking this over, his eyes widen at the realisation, before smiling himself. “Oh my god, you are so right.”

Rex nodded. “Yep.”

“What in the blazes are you two talking about!?” The Dark Makers demanded.

“Think about what you said before. About him not being involved in this.” The elf stated.

“Yes, and it’s true! He is not--!” They stopped before they could finish. “No…” The Dark Makers eyes widen in shock.

“Oh yes indeed.” Rex said, that creepy smile never leaving him. “That was from before you said you lot brought those we’ve either killed, or locked away.”

“As a matter of fact!” The elf added. “You lot weren’t suppose to talk about them. But now you blurted it out, they’re involved in this, more so as I am.” My eyes widen when the two of them explained this. Even the Dark Makers were dumbfounded by this.

“So, now that you fuck this whole operation up, I guess your providers will be sending her to kill you all.” Rex said, making the Dark Makers afraid. He chuckled at this. “Now, now. Fret not, she won’t come to kill you just yet. But that also means you’ll have to watch your six, seeing as you’re gonna need to fight on both fronts.” Okay, this guy needs to cool down. He seems to be enjoying this far too much.

“Wow! For those who seem to claim themselves to being the smartest, you sure don’t think things through very thoroughly.” The elf… You know, I getting of calling him that! Jak commented, seemingly making the Dark Makers sweat. They look afraid… They are afraid.

“Well, thanks for the invitation. Personally, I would have invited myself, but that’s not needed anymore.” Rex said. “So, without further ado….”

“W-wait a minute! Please!”

“Hmm…?”

“Y-y-you can’t l-leave us to this fate! We c-can make a deal!” They shouted in desperation.

“Sorry, but no promises are going to be made.” Rex said coldly to them. “Especially from the stunts you pulled off.”

“B-b-but--!”

“Although…” Rex held up a finger. “I can tell you something.”

“Really!?” Something about this doesn’t feel right.

“Sure.” He said with a sinister grin. “I can tell you something she hasn't told you yet.”

“A weakness!?” They asked, as they waited for the answer.

What Rex told them, isn’t what they were expecting, but it did explain why he keeps wanting to meddle in something that doesn't concern him. “She never told you about my other titles I’ve obtained over the years. I’m one of the three Gods of Anarchy. And with good reason why.”

They were staring at him, as if they were betrayed. “But… But you said…?”

“Ah, ah, ah! You thought it was a weakness I was going to tell you. When in reality, I didn’t made such a notion.” He explained. “And why the long face? You were the ones who shot yourselves in the foot. As I said before, no promises are going to be made.”

“W-what!? No!”

“Goodbye, and good luck. You’re gonna need it.” With that said, he gave Jak the notion of cutting off communications with them.

“N-NO! PLEASE, HELP US---!!!” Was the last thing we heard from them, before Jak pulled the plug.

“Well, that was rather dark. Even for you Rex.” Jak commented.

“You only know on what you see me do. That doesn’t explain everything about my being.” Rex stated.

“Now I know you really are a man of war…”

“The Man of War.” He corrected Jak. “Then again, anyone can become one.”

“From the sound of things, she gave you that title for a reason. Among other things.” Jak said as he eyed him suspiciously. “What else are you hiding?”

“Now’s not the time…”

“But--!”

“If any of you run into her, get out of there. That’s all I can tell you. Make sure Vol knows about this too.” With that said, he starts walking up the stairs. “As for you Sunset, you’re in detention for today.”

“Aww…” I whined at this.

“Jak, you’re on duty, make sure she’s with you at all times.”

“WHAT!?” We both shouted out.

“Did I fucking stutter?” He said rhetorically.

Groaning, we both followed up after him.

“Can this get any worse?” I muttered.

“And you just jinxed us.” Jak said.

“Sorry…”

“Yeah, you better be. Now I want you to tell me about that whole Fall Formal thing…” Great, now I’m gonna be interrogated. “You owe us that much, especially when you stole Twilight’s crown.”

“Okay, I guess you have a point…”

Though I could hear the elf mutter something about becoming a Sage before the three days were up.



Jak



Seeing Rex leave, allowing me to dismantle the communication panel, I got to work without a care of the world.

“So~, about what I said earlier.” I heard Sunset speak out as I punched the screen and took out what I needed, a tablet of Dark Maker preset coordinates.

“The empty threat? What about it?” I asked as I saw the millions upon millions of coordinates, ranging from Haven City to...what the actual Fuck?

“Yeah, um.” I held up a hand to keep her quiet.

“Don't worry about it, not the first time that's happened. If I'm not mistaken that's like the twentieth time someone threatened me.” I said, Looking at the coordinates carefully.


“What?” She asked, confused at my statement. I sighed at this while beginning to translate some of the encrypted dialogue.

“I said, it wasn't the first time. Certainly not the last.” I said to her as the tablet gave a spark of Dark eco.

“You seem to be calm about this? Even after finding out that I worked for them.” Sunset said, sitting besides me.

“I'm not a monster, a war machine yes but not a monster.” I said to her.

‘I beg to differ’ I heard Hyde say.

‘Quiet you!’ I mentally shouted. Soon the tablet showed a large button that said press.

I tapped the screen and felt the eco from it go haywire, dropping it on the ground, I quickly pulled out my morph gun as it showed a hologram projection of the stallion who made me a monster.

“Hello Jak, it's nice to see you again.” The hologram said as I lowered my aim.

“Your voice, it sounds as horrible as the day I saw you die.” I sneered at the projection.

“Getting launched fifteen feet in the air and having barrels of eco fall on top of you can really take a toll on someone. But enough about the past, I've been informed of our leader about one the rats spoiling the fun. Let me explain, this is but a test, a test each of you have to take.” He said.

“And if we refuse?” I asked him, only getting a smirk from the projection.

“We've surrounded each of your respective worlds with twenty planet destroyer ships, refuse and they'll open fire. The boss wants to fight you, but said that all of you aren't ready.” He explained.

“You're telling me this because?” I said, weirded out on the whole ordeal while Sunset stood their in confusion.

“Well, it gives you time to train. Remember, if any of your friends interfere in another's test, their world will pay the price.” Then the projection faded back into the tablet as the latter continued to spew out coordinates.

“Fuck you too, Praxis.” I said as I picked the tablet back up and snapped it half.

“Don't you need that!?” Sunset shouted, seeing the broken halves of the tablet.

“Not any more, we have to listen to them, everything is at stake here.” I said as I sat back down on the floor and buried my face into my hands.

“This just keeps getting better and better…”

The Trio of Destruction

Ch.5: Equestria Girls: Nothing’s gonna be playing fair...



Jak
CHS, Gymnasium


After my brief talk with Praxis, it was time for P.T and Sunset had the same period. I had explained our situation to Rex and he was not happy about it at all, but reluctantly said that I had to beat this test or else.

So during the first ten minutes of P.T. I had been meditation, ignoring the comments from the students. Once I had reached eleven minutes, I felt an increase of my strength.

Rex had set up a few practice dummies the school uses for football practice, I thanked him as I got ready to train.

I had started to deliver a series of jabs at the dummy, leaving dents on it. At some point my head made an illusion at the dummy to look like Praxis. Next thing I knew, I had delivered a spin kick and tore its head off.

I ran towards the next and delivered a strong dropkick, sending the second dummy flying towards the wall. I noticed for only a few seconds that my hand had emitted a small blue spark. I ran faster than I've ever had before and managed to pierce my hands through the third dummy, so I widened my arms, causing the dummy to rip in half.

“TWILIGHT, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?” I heard Rex shouted. Looking back at the group he’s training, I saw Twilight walking very slowly, panting hard out. “C’MON WOMAN! YOU’RE HOLDING UP THE LINE!” Oh yeah, he had them all running a sort of race track, at least a makeshift of one.

“But… I’m… So tired…” She replied between ragged breaths, looking ready to collapse.

I felt bad for her but I had an idea. I raised a finger in a gun like position and focused my sight onto Twilight.

“Pow.” I whispered as my finger shone in a green aura. I saw Twilight's lavender eyes quickly shine the same green aura.

Soon she started to move again, catching up with the rest.

“THAT’S MORE LIKE IT! SEE, YOU STILL GOT SOME LEFT IN YOU!” Rex said, seeming very proud of her.

“Wow, that’s a first.” I whispered to myself. I saw him looking my way, quickly giving me the thumbs up. I smiled at that. It’s not everyday you actually see him do that kind of stuff.

I shook my head as I realized I might've destroyed all the dummies. I sat on the benches and took out a notebook with all the coordinates I've written down earlier.

There were some of my Equestria, Dust Basin which surprises me. I knew the multiverse proved true but I didn't think it went this far.

Dust is a desert world, while Basin is just an area of the planet. Currently the planet is going through a Civil war of sorts with what I’ve read.

The Rifters and The Outcasts, those names sound familiar. Then it clicked, Starhawk, one of my favorite online games from when I was still back on Earth.

It seems that they wanted to recruit the Outcasts for their cause, so I wrote The Outcasts down as possible threat and The Rifters possible allies.

Rex noticed me sitting at the bench and came to tell me to do otherwise but stopped as he saw my notes.

“Don't bother me, I'm decrypting and writing down what the tablet said. There's a possibility that the guy behind this will have another army at his disposal.” I said, not looking up at him.

“Are his candidates worse than the dark makers?” Rex asked, trying to keep the conversation private.

“Worse, in a sense that they prefer to give slow and painful deaths to those who are unfortunate.” I said to him, writing down reasons to why the Outcasts are a threat.

“Alright, keep at it then.” Rex said, walking back to his group of students. I turned the page and found another set of coordinates, seeming to go to an Earth like planet stuck in the dark ages with large Dark Maker text saying Find the Lord of Terror crossed out in scratches while next to it were the words Find The Angel Of Death.

I wrote down what I could remember on the Angel from the game, also adding the notes of recruiting Tyrael for our cause.

“So, anything interesting?” Looking up, I saw Vol standing in front of me. Although, when I told him and Twilight on what me and Rex found out, he wasn’t pleased with this either.

“Something like that.” I said to him, looking back down at my notes. “Although, can you tell me something?”

“If this is about Tyrael, don’t worry. I’m sure father will send for him.”

“Well, that wasn’t what I wanted to ask, but thanks for the heads-up.”

“Oh?” He was confused by this. “Well, you’re welcome, I guess. But, what is it to want to know?”

“It’s about Rex’s opponent.” I said. “He wasn’t happy about it.”

“Who isn’t thrilled about their once dead enemy coming back at ‘em again?” He asked me rhetorically.

“I know that.” I growled at him. “But he also said that she was a bitch to kill off.”

“That’s because she was the final boss he had to kill.” Vol stated. “I don’t see why you’re so concerned about this?”

“Because he says not to engage her, even you.” I told him, to which he just snorts.

“Well, duh! We’re not suppose to interfere with each other's battles…”

“I don’t think she’s gonna follow the rules.” This got his attention.

“You’re kidding me?”

“I only wish I was. But from the sound of things, she’ll most likely do it. Without a second thought, and no hesitation.” We were silent for a moment before it picked up again.

“What is Rex not telling us?” Vol asked.

“My thoughts exactly. Not to mention, the Dark Makers didn’t get much out of her either. Especially on Rex, since she knows him so well.” I explained as he raised a brow.

“Is there something going on between the two?”

“Maybe. But for now, we’ll do what he says, and avoid her. If she didn’t give Rex’s biography to any of them, then she’s in it for her own benefits.” I sighed at this. “If so, then we’re all fucked.”

“Oh c’mon! How bad can she be?” Vol asked sarcastically.

I was about to punch his face in when Rex appeared behind him. Which seemed to startled Vol a little bit.

“Vol, what are you doing?” He asked him.

“I was just… Talking! With Jackie boy here!” I facepalmed on that stupid excuse of his.

“Whatever. Stop talking smack and help Twilight out.” He pointed behind him. We saw Twilight struggling with her push-ups.

Vol rolled his eyes at this. “Alright, fine.”

“Well, it’s either that, or him.” He pointed off to his left, and we saw some dumbass looking kid with spiky two-toned blue hair.

“Way too much blue.” I commented.

Vol glared at the kid before walking over to help Twilight.

“Also, Jak.” He looked at me. “Regarding about her, she’s really dangerous.”

“So...what? You’re gonna leave us all in the dark about her?” I asked him. “Because from the sound of things, she knows you more, as you know her.”

“Not here.” He answers. “Once we’re back at our place, we’ll talk and plan about it.”

“Okay… Wait, are you saying that she will be there?” I asked him and he gave a nod, before walking back to his students. I groaned at this. “Great. So he really can intervene if she’s there, as well.”

“Unfortunately, she’s not one for playing it by anyone's rules. But she won’t go after you.” Rex told me.

“Is she trying to bait you?” I asked, a little concerned about all this. “Wouldn't she be, I don’t know, getting your Equestria killed off?”

“Trust me, she has the Providers by the balls. Whether they know it or not.” That was all I got from him when he reached his students.

“I doubt it.” I said to myself as I read up on this Tyrant Queen and her current status. With what I’ve read, it's the other way around. They have her on a leash, a very tight leash.

I closed the notebook and began to think to myself. I thought on what Rex said earlier about what she would've wanted me to do.

While in deep thought, I heard someone walk up to me. I looked up to see Sunset. I noticed that she didn't look good and even saw a few bruises.

“What happened?” I asked her.

She pointed behind her, towards Rex yelling at some students. They seem to be responsible for whatever they did to her. At least Rex is a better teacher than the rest of them, not gonna take shit from nobody. I know he means well, but I hope he doesn't take it too far. God only knows how short fused his temper is.

“He said to come and take a break next to you.” She said to me. “Thinking you can help me.”

“Alright then, hold still.” I said as my eyes emitted a green aura. I raised my hands and focused the green eco to her. I saw her bruises disappear, leaving no trace of it ever being there.

“Wow….” She was in awe, checking herself out. “They’re gone. Thanks.”

“It's no problem.” I said as my eyes stopped emitting their green eco aura.

“So, what were you doing before?” She asked me.

“Just thinking.” I answered simply. It was the truth, sort of.

“Oh…” The awkward silence settles in for a moment or two, before she asks me another question. “Say Jak, what’s gotten Rex on edge?”

“It’s nothing, he’s just paranoid.” I answered her. “He’s worrying over someone, who’s on a very tight lockdown.”

“Her, huh…” What?

“Sunset, do you know her?” I asked her. If Rex’s not gonna be straight up with us, I might as well get the answers from somewhere.

“Only some, from what I heard from them.” She explained. “You’re right, she is on lockdown, and with good reason. They don’t trust her.”

“What? Then why go through all the trouble, just to bring her back?”

“Because of him.” She pointed out towards Rex. “They fear him as well. Not as much as her, but enough to put them on edge.” She snorted a bit. “You know, I never really paid much attention to their useless babbling. Now I know why…”

“And that is?” I asked her, a little curious about this.

“Well, I’m not quite sure if this is correct. But from what I’ve heard, Rex is an Unknown.”

“Pfft, figures.” I said. She looked at me in confusion.

“We barely know anything about him, other than the fact that he was human.” I explained.

“Oh, well that explains a lot.” She stated. “But the same can be said about her too.”

“What do you mean?”

“They tried to get as much information on him as possible, from her. But no matter what methods they tried on her, they never end well…”

“For her?” I inquired.

“For them.” She answers grimly.

“What? How does that work?” I was confused of this. “I mean, they have her on lockdown. How can they not pull the plug on her?” That’s what I would have done.

“Again, because of Rex.” She repeated. “And the fact that they practically shot themselves in the foot, when they brought her back to life.”

“If she's as bad as you make her sound, I wouldn't put it past them to assign her The Outcasts.” I said.

“Not only that, but I get the feeling she’ll be playing along with their demands, only to buy time…”

“Whatever, she died once, she can die again, it's a fact and a proven one at that.” I said, knowing that Errol was resurrected only to die again.

“Do you even know how Rex killed her?” She asked me.

“No and why would I?” I said with a smirk.

“From what I heard, he practically rammed a giant-ass ship into her front door…” I lost my smirk after she said that. “I don’t think anyone had managed to reach her, in any known way.”

“Again, that wouldn't be a surprise coming from Rex. I'm just going to see if he can win and if not, I didn't have anything to go back to anyway.” I said.

“Why the sour-puss mood?” She asked me with a deadpanned face.

“Back where I'm from, some know me as the Hero of Time, like the dark makers. Haven City, a place that could've been more that it is now, was founded and built single handedly by one stallion, Mar.” I began my explanation.

“He built it from scratch and had formed the law enforcement once people moved in, varying from Ponies, Changelings, even Kirins. As time went on, Mar vanished without a trace and the city elected a new leader, a Baron. Countless years later, an Alicorn Stallion by the name of Damas was Baron at the time, for being apart of the house of Mar, which makes them royalty. Damas with his Commander of the Guard, Praxis, set out to find the legendary cannon of Mar. Once they found it, marking on their maps and returning back to the city, Praxis betrayed Damas with the help from a griffin named Veger.” I continued my explanation.

“Long story short, I found Damas, The Sand King and I served under his rule. He gave me a task in finding his two daughters that were still trapped inside Haven city.” I said, sighing before continuing.

“I saved the City from total annihilation and what do I get, I get banished from the city for supposedly helping the ones who attacked the city. I came back to the Sand city known as Spargus and told Damas the news on his daughters. After proving myself again that I was capable in completing my mission, I broke into Haven city and found out, I was public enemy number one. One thing led to another and I had ended up saving the world from Dark Makers. The city hates me, the one who taught me all I know died and he didn't even see his daughters, so yeah, I got nothing to come back to.” I finished my tale.

“Wow, and I thought I had it rough…” She commented. “Jak, I’m sorry.” She said with a sad face.

“Don't be, it's my life and I learned to deal with it all.” I said.

“For the record, keep that on the down-low with Rex. I don’t think he’ll like to hear that, if you know what I mean.” She told me. “He doesn't look like the type to leave things be, nor can he ignore them.”

“I didn't plan on telling anyone, actually.” I said, leaning backwards a bit. “And yeah, especially Rex. He wouldn't like to hear about how Damas died, or things before and after. He’ll probably end up burning all of Haven City to the ground for their sins.”

“Why do you think he gets so pissed off easily?” She asked.

“I think he’s getting sick of watching the same old bullshit happening time and again. That’s all I can come up with.” I explained to her. “Both he and Vol are older that I am, since they’re both immortal. So they’ve seen things not many mortals have to deal with.”

“I guess…”

“Okay people, wrap it up! That’s the end of today!” We heard Rex called out. Looking at the clock, it was getting near till school ended. “Put all equipment and gear away, dress down, and get ready to leave!”

“Well, I guess I'll be seeing you tomorrow.” I said, standing up.

“Yeah. I guess so.” She said as she got up and started to walk towards the changing rooms.

I grabbed my bag and headed out. I stopped as I felt eco somewhere, I looked around and sensed it at the direction Sunset went.

‘A conduit? I thought I was the only one.’ I thought as I started walking out.





(Carolus Rex, after school…)

After giving in my reports for the day, and getting Tia to ring up those responsible for hurting another student parents, I headed outside to where everyone else was waiting.

“Alright, let’s get going now… Huh?” Vol said before a van pulled over next to us.

The window of the passenger seat winded down to show Michael. “Good afternoon everyone.”

“Well, I guess this is our ride.” I said as I opened up the slide door. Hoping inside, Nyx was inside, hiding in the back with us.

“Hi mummy! Hi daddy!” She said to them and sat between them.

“Hey, angel.” Vol greeted his daughter with a hug, along with Twilight.

“Everyone settled in?” Michael asked.

“Yeah, we’re all set.” I answered him and he got us moving.

“Vol, your father rung up today.” Michael said.

“So? What did he say?” Vol asked.

“He explained about the situation, and is planning on something. As for what that is, I’m not sure, he didn’t quite go into detail.” Michael explained. “For the record, Rex, I’m sorry that you’ll have to go through Hell again, with her. Same to you Vol.”

“Hey! What about me!?” Jak whined. “I mean, we’re going up against people we would rather not deal with ever again!”

“Jak, your one is the easiest. You're getting off easy. But both Vol and Rex won’t be.” Michael told him. “That said, you’ll gain an easy win, even if you didn’t manage to kill the former Baron, you will stop the Dark Makers ships.”

“Okay, I think you are indirectly calling me weak.” Jak snarked at him.

“Unfortunately, you are.” Michael told him. “I know that’s unbecoming of me, but it’s the truth.”

“Is there anything else father said?” Vol asked, making sure the shitstorm didn’t come to past.

“Yes, he has sent Tyrael to aid us…” He said. “He also said to avoid Rex’s opponent, at all cost.”

“Okay, seriously. Rex, what is it, you’re not telling us yet?” Vol asked me.

But before I could answer him, Michael did it. “She’s not one to be trivial with, especially you Vol. Your father forbids you on taking her on.”

“I wasn't, Jak explained that we each had to fight our respective opponents.” Vol said.

“She cares not about the rules. She’ll go after anyone she pleases.” Michael stated. “The Tyrant Queen will just play mind games with you, don’t let her get the chance.”

“Okay, Rex, what is your connection with her?” Vol demanded. “From the sound of things, you both sound a lot like one another. Like two sides of the same coin.”

“Technically, you’re right.” I answered him before sighing. “This wouldn't be the first time she was held by a leash. No matter how many times you held her in place, try to control her, or whatever. She always wins it.”

“Are you fucking serious?” Jak spoke up. “I looked in on the records! They have her on lockdown!”

“She wants you to think that.” I said. “She’s far more cunning than what she let’s you believe on what you see, or do to her.”

“So… She really does have them by the balls.”

“Yes. That she does. All she’s doing now is waiting for the right moment.”

“What about my uncle?” Vol asked. “What would he think of her?”

“He already knows about the whole thing. He’s just playing along with her as well.” I answered him. “He’s probably just observing the whole thing.”

“Creepy and yet ominous.” Jak commented. I looked at him and was about to reply to his comment.

“I don't care what you guys say, I just want to get this over with and go home where I can at least tolerate my existence.” He said before dozing off.

“He needs serious help.” Twilight said to Vol.

“If he doesn't say the phrase “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub”, I can't help him.” Vol said to Twilight. 

“And what does that mean?” I asked him, curious to know the meaning of the weird phrase.

“You'll know in do time.” Was Vol’s only answer.

“The only thing that comes to mind is those little midgets off on Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.” I said to him.

“Trust me, it's an actual phrase from a world of bird people.” Vol said.

“Bird people? Like the Jackal from the Halo series?” I asked with a little smirk.

“Why do you mock things so much?” He groaned at this. “You know what? Forget it!” I chuckled at this.

“Rex, can I ask you something?” Twilight spoke up.

“Yes?” I said.

“Why are you… Well, why are you so…hard to get?” She was struggling with finding the best way to describe me. “I mean, you’ve been a little too aggressive towards any and all. What have we done to you?”

“Do you really want to know Twi? Do you?” I asked her.

She didn’t know what to say next. Twi couldn't really answer that one.

“Well then, since you’re completely unsure, we’ll leave this for another time.”

“Hold on a second.” Vol said as he opened the side door, in time to see an Einstein looking man walking besides a sixteen year old kid.

“Asswipe! You still owe me fifteen thousand credits for fixing up your piece of shit of a ship!” Vol shouted at the man. Twilight was about to say something but the man beat her to it.

“Well, I don't have that kind of money and all you did was kick it!” The man shouted, slurring a few of his words out and earned Vol flipping the bird. Twilight pulled him back in and closed the door.

“... And you lot say I’m aggressive.” I commented, laughing a little.

“YOU ARE!!!” They both shouted at me.

“Well, at least this is more decent.” I said to them, which got me some confused looks.

“What the Hell does that mean?” Vol asked.

“Tell me; did any of you had the Sex Education class today?” I asked them and they nodded their heads. “And I assume Chrissy was teaching you lot, right?”

“Okay, how do you know Chrysalis? And why do you call her Chrissy?” Twilight asked me, a little too curious for her own good.

But then again, I did ask them first.

I shrugged. “Eh, back in my Equestria, I trained with her as well…”

“Along with Sombra. Who else was there?”

“Discord, Tirek, Celestia and Luna. I trained them, and with them. I was their leader after all.” I answered her.

She stared at me in shock and awe. “S-so… Y-y-you know… All of them…?”

“Twilight, honey, let’s not push our boundaries to the limit. Last thing we need is to have him blow up in our faces.” Vol told her. “Although, that does explain your connection to my little brother.”

I grinned at that, which made him very suspicious of me.

“What is it? What did he do?” He asked.

“Oh…. Let’s just say he told a joke.” I answered him. “One that was… Universally explicit and offensive.” His right eye was twitching like crazy when I told him that.

“He… WHAT!?” He shouted angrily.

Jak awoke from the sudden shout and looked over to Vol.

“Everyone tells jokes every now and again, plus he's in Rex’s universe. I'm pretty sure that Discord is a copy of the original.” Jak said in a tired voice.

“...Wait what?” I asked, confused to how he knows that.

“Back home, I was kinda of a nerd and really into the multiverse theory, an endless stream possibilities. A new universe is created every second with every decision we make, a universe is born to choose the other.” Jak explained. I sat dumbfounded at his sudden change of personality.

Vol and Twilight were in the same state as me. Jak looked at all of us in confusion.

“Was it something I said?” He asked in confusion.

“It’s what you said. Which is actually true.” Slowly but surely, I started to understand, or remembering, how this whole thing worked. “But you also said original. You sure telling us, isn’t gonna crack the multiverse in half?” I asked him. “Is it worth the risk?”

His eyes shot wide open. “Oh shit! A Paradox!” He clapped his mouth after saying that.

“Yeah, we all need to be careful about that.” I commented.

“Okay, well, he certainly kicked my head in to get my brain working.” Vol said, scratching his head.

“I still don’t get it.” Twilight said.

“Don't, no one fully understands it.” Jak said, rubbing the sides of his head.

“Except Gods.” I added.

“Whatever, you know what I mean.” He answered back, not wanting to explain anything.

“Well, it does explain why my father never wanted to talk about it with me.” Vol said.

“That’s easy, you’re one crazy motherfucker.”

“Umm.” I heard Nyx muttered out.

“OKAY! We’re here!” Michael called out. Pulling up in the driveway, we got out and took a look over the house. A two-story house, nothing too flashy, warm and inviting, and it blends right in. Perfect for a big family even.

We headed on inside. I was the last to come in and closed the door behind me, then felt the temperature drop.

“No.” I heard Vol mutter.

“What is it?” I asked, getting up front, guns at the ready. Jak did the same. As for who it was, well….

“It has been a long time, my dear nephew. I see that you've done well for yourself.” An echoed voice said.

“Yeah, I have.” Vol answered.

“Wait. You mean this is… Ah Hell.”

“Yes indeed, Carolus Rex. I have heard much of you from the lord at times. But still you have a lot to learn.”

“But enough about that, I've come to tell you that two souls have been stolen from me and I need them back.” The voice said as a fog appeared through the hall and a dark hooded figure stepped out of it.


“Well… Shit. How can we help you on that?” I asked him. “Also, how’s Death been? Seen him much?”

“Wait, you know Death?” Vol asked me in surprise.

“I am Death. You must be talking about my reapers.”

“Don’t remind me…” I growled at him, which he held his hand up.

“Oh no, a mortal growled at me, woe is me. You need to calm down, rage will get you nowhere.” 

“YOU KNOW DAMN WELL WHY!!!” I shouted at him, raising a hand and summoning the sword. “DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHERE THIS CAME FROM!?!?”

“.... Yes. And I’m sorry for...bringing up bad memories.”

“But, you need to let it go. Holding onto the past is only going to destroy you.”

“That’s rich.” I snapped at him, making the sword go away. “Because he gave his life up to create that sword.”

“Yet you blame others for that.”

“Does it sound like I’m blaming others? Who is there to blame anymore? I killed them off.”

“You're blaming all those around you, by expressing your rage to those who don't deserve it.”

“Because they never listened. They never heeded my warnings. And you know how that turns out.”

“They need to learn from their mistakes, no matter what it is. I have, and it took me ten millennia.”

“You tried to destroy the human race.” Vol stated.

“That was plot convenience.” 

“Yeah. Along with the body count.” I added.

“Have you not seen the fucking game they made? I only took out a city.”

“Don’t know, don’t care. You’re the real deal, fuck all of the rest.” I snarked off at him.

He groaned at this. “As usual: you act like those army grunts from the Twentieth Century. You shoot first, ask question never. Typical.”

“And it’s so damn bizarre that I’m still alive.” I said in a happy sarcastic way.

“That is because the lord allows it, but getting killed is an exception.”

“... Like the new Reaper that he trained?” I taunted him, which got an actual chuckle from him.

“You mean to replace me? Yes, I knew and I'm glad that death will not stop.”

“Uncle, you okay?” Vol asked. “It’s been awhile since I saw you this angry at something.”

“No, I'm not okay. The biggest threat is still alive and wants to settle a score with you, my dear nephew.”

“Oh fuck no, him, really?” Vol said, not happy to hear this at all.

“Wait a minute, HIM!?” I asked. “How in the actual fucking Hell did they even manage that!?”

“Diablo is still trapped inside my very being, so it's unlikely that he's the one. Volburaal, you must finally end your eternal conflict with him, once and for all.”

“Well damn, I have to fight myself again.” He sighed out.

“Oh… Well ain’t that a bitch.” I commented.

“And you know this how, Rex?” He asked me.

“That is of no concern to any of you.”

“Uncle, what are all of you hiding?”

“I only know some things on Rex. But even so, very few of his deeds are to be classified.”

“Now with all that said, I must leave. I will see you all in a later date. And Rex, you do have a date with death but that’s three millennia away.”

Was his final words before disappearing in a fog.

“Three millennia? Really?” I sneered cynically.

“Do you actually doubt my uncle?” Vol asked with a raised brow.

“Vol, in case you haven’t notice, I am literally a big ‘FUCK YOU’ in the face.” I told him off. “He’s just pissed because I haven’t died just yet.”

“It doesn't matter what you are, everything has to go eventually.”

“Too fucking bad! I ain’t going off like that, for the rest of forever!” I snapped. “All the other times before the here and now, yes, quite so, if I was still human! But I’m not! That’s what you fucktards need to remember!”



Jak



While Rex was busy shouting at Volburaal, I took the chance and left the house. Why, you may ask, because I just want some peace and quiet, so walking around town was the best option.

I had made sure to take my morph gun and Jet-board, better to have them and not need them, then to not have them and need them.

I placed my hands in my pockets and began to walk away, while singing Tiny Rick to myself.

Cruising around on my Jet-board, I was wondering aimlessly. Not really caring for wherever I may end up. Although, I probably should have paid more attention. Someone practically tripped me up, and I went flying off my Jet-board. Landing face first onto the ground, I groaned as I got up, shaking off the dizziness.

“Oh my…” A feminine voice said behind me. “Are you alright?”

“Carajo.” I cursed in my native language.

“Well, that explains a lot.” She giggled at that, as if she knows what that means. “So, you must be the infamous Jak.”

“Yeah, and you might be?” I asked.

Turning to face this woman, I was surprised to see that no one was there, nor was my Jet-board.

“Where…?”

“Excuse me.” I jumped when she spoke up again, appearing right behind me, again. When I finally got a look at her though, she was wearing a black overcoat with a hoodie covering her face up.

“Can I not have some time for myself? No, It's best no one answers that.” I said, tired of this weird shit happening.

“Wow.” She commented, as if this was lame to her. “No wonder why he’s so pissed off with you at times. You clearly don’t pay much attention.”

“That's because when I do, I get stabbed, burnt, shot and I was eaten alive once. Paying attention is not something I like to do.” I said.

She shook her head in disappointment. “My, I’m surprised he didn’t even kill you off. But, then again, you’re not worth the effort.”

“Meh, I wouldn't give two shits if he even did, I've done too much good and only received hate. So, what's up? If you're here to break my mind go ahead.” I said.

“Again, not worth the effort.” She stated as if she was the fucking queen of England. “Besides, I’ve done far more worser than you, all for the sake of it, and just cause.”

“That sounds familiar.” I said, feeling as if I knew someone that had said the same thing.

“But anyway, why are you wasting time with me? Like you said, not worth the effort.” I said.

“Again, not paying attention.” She said as she held up my Jet-board. “I like to play a little game with you.” Something about this doesn't seem right, feels right.

“Go ahead, I got nothing to do.” I said with a shrug of my shoulders.

In a blinding flash, she hit me, square in the face, with my Jet-board, which sent me flying back a few blocks I passed by.

“Nice one, now are you going to hit me harder than that?!” I asked. I fucking hate the pain tolerance, it's god like and makes me more inhuman.

“Huh? And I wasn’t even trying.” Wait what? “Oh well, mind games then.”

“Mind games?” I asked, only for me to actually take back what I said earlier.

I found that she had both my arms in her grasp, pinning my head down on the ground. She tugged at them a few times before pulling at them. Slowly. Painfully slowly. I never fought anyone could put me through so much pain like this, and the only time I’ve ever felt was when Praxis experimented Dark Eco on me. Eventually, she ripped both arm off me, blood spraying all over, onto the ground.

“Oh no~, my arms.” I said, bored out my fucking mind.

“What about yours arms?” She asked me.

I was about to tell her, when I felt my arms again. “What the…?” Looking down at them, they were back on me, as if she never really did ripped them off.

“Wow, I must be tripping balls.” I said outloud.

“That’s because you’re weak minded.” She snarked off at me.

“Right. If I was, I would be begging for mercy.” I said, not amused.

“And why should I give anything the mercy they plea for?”

“Lady, I'm just telling you the facts on stereotypes.” I said.

“Stereotypical behaviour has nothing to do with anything at all. Why must you waste your breath on pointless thinking?”

“I know.” I said.

“Whatever, here’s your board.” She threw it down the ground, next to my feet, and starts walking away.

I was about to hop on it, only for me to slip off it. “What the hell!?” Looking at it, I was surprised yet again. “That’s not my Jet-board!” It was just a regular skateboard!

“Indeed.” Jumping to my feet, I pulled out my morph gun and aimed at her.

“Alright, that’s it! I had enough of this horse crap!” Pulling the trigger, I fired at her. Only for her to use my Jet-board as a reflective shield, and bounce the round back at me.

“ACK!” When it hit me, it knocked my gun out of my hands. Which gave the bitch the opportunity to take it.

“Okay, I have to be honest with you, I was expecting more from you.”

“Why?” I asked.

“Well, your challenge. Remember?” She said to me.

“Kill Praxis, and somehow destroy three ships before it's too late. Yeah what of it?” I said.

“Well, seeing as how weak you really are. I don’t see how you can manage it.” She had a point.

“Me and you both.” I said.

“Well, let’s make this interesting…” She said with a smile.

“I should say no, but go on.” I said, curious to hear what she has to say.

“Well, this will make you desperate. But try doing it…” As she said that, both my Jet-board and Morph gun disappeared. “Without the use of your Arsenal.”

“...Okay.” I accepted, not really caring if I lose them.

“Oh and if you fail, Rex will kill you for that. Or Vol. Maybe both of them will.” I glared at her for that remark.

“Look, I don’t care if I lose my world, but I don’t want theirs getting destroyed over my failure.” I warned her.

“That’s the thing though, you see…” she explained, that smile of hers never leaving her, which is pissing me off.

“... Are you fucking serious?” I asked her.

“Would you really expect anything less from them?” She answers me with another question.

“Okay, seriously! What is Rex not telling us!? What do you know of him!?” I shouted at her. “Vol I can understand…!”

“And now the whole universe is going to IMPLODE on itself!” She randomly shouted.

“Umm, why?” I asked, now lost at her claims.

“Because Vol is Chaos Incarnated. So in all reality, should he be really understood?” Okay, that makes sense.

“Point taken. But back to the question.”

She scoffed at me. “I am the former queen, and technically still am. Shouldn't that answer on where he stands?” And to drive it further in. “He did kill me, after all.”

“Oh…” That made me click. “Oooooooh…. Shit.” He’s the motherfucking King. “Wait a minute…”

“Hmm…”

“Why doesn't he act like one?” I asked. “Seriously, I thought he would have been more of an asshole, than what I’ve seen so far.”

“Again, stereotypical and cliche. But tell me what you think of him?” She asked me.

“He's an ass.” I told her. “I mean, I get that he means well. But still, he’s an ass.”

“Says the one who loathes himself.” She said. “Honestly, you’re more of an ass, than he’ll ever be.”

“Right.” I said, rolling my eyes.

“Well, seeing as how you are…” As she said that, she held up something she shouldn't have done. “I don’t think you deserve your mother’s love.”

“That’s…!” Checking myself, it clearly is my mother’s necklace she gave me. “How!?”

“Do I need to keep repeating myself?” She said deadpanned. “If you want it back, you better step it up.”

“Fine…” Running up to her, I jumped into the air and performed a drop kick on her. Only for me to miss her, since she moved off to the side, just slightly so. Still I missed her, and what she do? Punches me in the nuts!

I’ll be honest here, I never thought I would ever feel that kind of pain again.

Dropping to the ground and holding on my groin, I was nearly on the brink of crying like a little bitch. While she was just giggling at me!

“Well what’s this, done already?” She taunted with a shit-eating grin.

“Fuck… You…” I wheezed out, trying to get back up.

“Struggling, are we?” She asked sarcastically. “Here. Allow me…” Pulling her leg back, she leaned down to my eye level and smiled. “... To help you up!”

Bringing her leg back, she kicked me upwards into the air, high up might I add. “Fucking...puns…” I was suspended in midair for a few seconds, before pummelling back down and crashing into the ground.

“So…” I heard her say. “Did you feel that?” Oh she loves to taunt, doesn't she? No wonder why Rex had a hard time, this bitch is something alright.

But if she wants a fight, she’ll get one. I'm sorry Rex, but I gonna have to break your promise. I know you’ll understand what I’m about to do.

Feeling the Dark Eco coursing through me, my body began its transformation. Once done, I flapped my wings and flew up.

“So that’s it?” I heard her speak. “That’s what you become? This won’t help you.”

“Shut your trap, bitch!” I shouted at her before dive-bombing on her. Claws extended, I went and slice that gossiping bitch’s throat out. Or so I thought.

I did hit her, only a mirage of her. Turns out, she was right behind me again. And again, she kicked me. Luckily, not my balls. But that didn’t mean I got off anymore luckier beyond that. I got launched into the air, barely managing to stop myself and steady my flapping.

Looking back down, she was nowhere to be found. Until I felt a finger under my chin, and turned me to my left. Frozen in place, she was up here with me, smiling at me. She held up my mother’s necklace, which got me to snap out of it, as I made an attempt to grab it.

Only for her to break my arm before I even manage to touch it, somehow. It was too fast for me to even see it coming. Grunting, I was about to do it again when I felt her flick at my forehead. At first, nothing happened, until my head snapped backwards, as I was sent backwards, as well.

Dear God, this is getting ridiculous! And she was laughing while doing this to me! “Okay, now I’m getting tired of this!”

“Oh dear! Is this the part where some would say…”

“Don’t you fucking dare!”

“U mad bro?” And that tears it!

Roaring out loud, I flew straight at her, real determined on ripping her from limb from fucking limb. If only she stood the fuck still!

Yet again, she turns the tables on me, and this time she was smacking me across from here to there! I was being thrashed all over the place! I did say I couldn't feel pain, but even if she said she’s not trying, she sure as hell bent on making me feel it.

Finally, she planted me into the ground, again. I was a bloody mess, literally. Coughing up blood, from all the internal bleeding, broken bones, and so on and so forth. Losing my Dark form, reverting back to my normal self, she walks up to me, then kneels down at me.

“My, you sure you didn’t feel that?” She asked.

“... Maybe… Just a… Little…” I was panting away, trying to speak in between breaths.

“Let’s fix that, shall we…” She grinned sinisterly, bringing up two fingers to my forehead, and tapped it. Straight after that, did I truly felt pain. All of the damage she has dealt to me, was really excruciating beyond measurement. And that made me screamed out in agony, with all I had left. Tears started to stream down my face like a waterfall. I practically wanted to thrash around, but even that makes it worse with each movement.

As for her, good God, she was laughing at me! That crazy Tyrant bitch was taking delight in my suffering! “Ha ha ha ha! So, miss the pain!? Does it make you feel alive again!?”

“F-f-f… Fuck!... You!!” I tried to say to her, but that only made her laugh more.

“My oh my! Well, let’s see how even more broken you are…” She held up my mother’s necklace, horror rising up inside me. “When I crush the very last thing you have left.”

“N… NO!” I tried lifting a hand to make the grab for it, but it was useless. Her grin widened as she proceeded to crushing it between her thumb and index finger. Slowly, cracks started to show up. Sobbing so helplessly, all I could do was just watch, and she was making me watch it all. “... Mom…” I whimpered out, seeing the very thing get destroyed. “Please… Stop…”

“Heh! Now Jak, you already know the answer to that…” She told me, still crushing it.

Damn… I’m losing consciousness… I.. I can’t… Mom, I’m so...so sorry…

Wait… What was that? A roar? Since when did she..?? No… This feels...familiar. Someone's dragging me out. It still hurts like hell. I can feel the ground shaking underneath me. Power surging all around. Man… Their massive.

“Jak! Can-…-ou hear me!?” That voice… Is that Vol?

Coughing out loud, at least I think I did… Damn this hurts! I tried speaking, but all that came was just gurgles.

“Shit! Okay, y-...-ust hang in there!” Heh… Like I have anything better to do. I felt him put something in my hand, and I recognised it. “Hold onto it tightly…” I tried to say thanks, but that wouldn't be the case, yet.

He dragged me along the ground, to which hurts like a bitch. Although, either I’m hearing things, or Vol really is panting. The sound of battle began to quiet down as we kept moving away. The weird part was when we passed through something, as if we crossed through some gateway.

Damn it, I can’t stay awake for much longer. But it… Sounds like we made it back home. I don’t what else went on, but all I know is that…

I’m somehow, still alive…



 POV: Vol.



“Shit! This is bad!” I shouted. I manage to get Jak back and helped him inside his room. Michael said he can take care of him, while I go and get Rex back. It was him who felt her power in play and ran straight out of the door. I followed after him, where we stopped on some random street.

He said that she got Jak in her dimension, those pocket dimensions. I smirked at that, and went to pry it open. Only to get knocked on my ass! I blinked a few times before getting back up and tried again, and the same thing happened once more.

Getting frustrated, I decided to use some more power to rip the damn fucker open! It took half of my powers to get an opening. HALF! Just what was this bitch made of!?

Anyway, I made it back, although I didn’t need to look inside to see what’s happening. Even running back here, I can actually feel their powers clashing against one another, that it kept sending out flurries of psyco-kinetic energy waves out. Effecting any and all in the surrounding area, whether they be electronics, or otherwise.

The force behind it was enough to cause cracks to appear from the ground itself. Reaching the gateway, I was about to go through it when I had to jump out of the way. Barrelling out of there, was both Rex and that Tyrant Queen.

Rex was the one to kick her away from himself. I ran over and got in between them, with Rex behind me. Both of them were pretty rough up, worse for wear even. A bloody mess, probably worse than the state that Jak was in.

I heard her laugh. “My… Agressive as always, dearest.” She said as she tried to get up. “Just how I like it.”

Okay, it’s official; I fucking hate this bitch!

Growling, Rex got himself up as well. “Keep talking whore. That’s all you’re ever good for, anyway.” He said to her.

She chuckled at that remark. “Well, It’s no wonder why you keep coming after me.” She retorted smugly. “Still feeling lonely in bed?”

“Enough you slut!” I shouted out.

“Stay out of this boy!” She threaten me. “You are, but a nuisance.”

I was about to say something smart when she pulls out a detonator. “Hey, what’s that for!?”

“Vol!” I turned to look at Rex, coughing and hacking up blood. “That’s her...insurances!”

“As in…?” I asked, until it click. “Oh fuck me sideways…”

“Sorry kid, but you’re not my type.” That bitch!

“I wasn’t talking to you!” I shouted at her.

“Too bad. You said it, you want it.”

“Oh… You’re good.” I said. “Rigging all of those Destroyers engines and reactor to go into overdrive, and crash onto the planet’s surface they’re orbiting around.” She smiled and nodded weakly.

“Correct. Not only that, but once that happens, the planet will become a barren wasteland. No life. Nothing, but a empty shell, of its former glory.” Shit! I knew she was bad news, but not this bad. Holding my hands up, I walked back slowly to pick Rex up.

“C’mon, we need to get going.” I told him, which he nodded reluctantly. Going around her, she watched us the whole time.

Once on the other side of her, she closed the gateway, and placed the detonator away. “Smart move.”

“Not like I had much of a choice.” I snarled at her. “No thanks to you.”

“Well then, I guess that settles it then…” With that said, she teleports out of our sight.

“Sheesh…” I rolled my eyes and shook my head. “Rex, what kind of women do you normally run into?”

“Are you that desperate of wanting to know? Like your wife.” He countered.

“Oh, you’re so funny.” I said to him sarcastically, only to receive a punch to the crotch. “OW! You fucker!”

“Quit whining and start walking woman.”

“Okay, one of these days, we’re settling the score.”

“Challenge accepted. Now move it.”

Growling, I started walking back to the house, but not before putting everything back the way they should be. One thing though, why the Hell did I challenge Rex like that? The one thing I never thought I’d do to someone.

Whatever. I might as well give Rex a challenge.

“What in the Precursors name were you thinking!?” The former Baron shouted in anger, towards the Tyrant Queen.

“Oh lighten up, you sorry excuse of scrap metal.” She retorted to him. “If you ask me, he should be thankful that I let him feel pain once more. At least this way, you’ll make him scream for dear life, or beg for death.”

“Why you…” The Baron was about to say something snarky towards her. But…

“Enough!” I stopped that. “This is neither the time, nor the place. We will discuss this later.” I looked towards the battered Queen.

“Go and get yourself cleaned up, we will talk about your assignment later.” I told her and she was taken by servants to the infirmary.

Sighing, I looked down towards Praxis. “Take the fleet, and start heading out.”

A quick bow later, he started up the three Destroyers and headed out.

This is already getting out of hand. I need to put that Tyrant on an even more tighter leash, one that I’ll have to take care of personally. She’s far too much of a liability to leave unattended. Plus, with how she acts, I’ll need to teach her who’s really in charge here.

Shaking my head, I looked towards the operators. “Tell me, has anyone of you found The Angel of Death?”

“We are trying, but it seems he has masked his signal.” One of them asked.

“Great.” I pinched the bridge of my nose. “I knew I should have been more tactful.”

“What now? Will he turn on us?” Another asked.

“Maybe. Maybe not.” I shrugged my shoulders. “It matters not. We’ll continue as plan. Even he wouldn’t risk trying to help them.”

“My lord, why can’t we kill that wench off?”

“We need her, unfortunately. She’s the only one to know anything on Rex. So, that makes her necessary.” I sighed again. “Even I barely know the man. All I know is that he’ll become the bane of me, if God calls for him.”

“How powerful do you believe him to be?”

“I don’t know.” I simply answered. “And that’s something I don’t like to find out.” Leaning back in my chair… Well, more like a throne. Whatever. “All I want, is Vol.”

“As you wish. What of the traitors?” One of them asked.

“She’ll deal with them, however she pleases.” I told them. “I just hope she doesn't screw this up.”

“We’re giving her too much freedom.”

“It’s either that, or she won’t do it.” I said, rubbing away an oncoming headache. “Honestly, however Rex managed to kill her off, is beyond me.”

“What if the battle they were locked in?”

“I guess that’s a pretty good indication we can go on.”

“We estimate that they were using, perhaps, fifty percent of power outage.”

“Well, that’s something.” I commented. “I wonder what happens when they use all of it? Eh, it doesn't matter.” All I want, is Vol.

“What if this fails?” Another asked.

“Well, if Jak manages to destroy all three of them, they win that round. Even if he didn’t get to kill the Baron.” Nothing more was discussed as I rose up and walked off to my quarters.

“Soon. Very soon…”
