Heh, ah.. where to begin.. You already know how we got to this rate, I cosplayed as Obito Uchiha from Naruto because I wanted to try and win a contest. Which by the way, I’ve probably already forgotten. 

That bastard vendor is what makes me remember that I’m still me from Earth, not Obito Uchiha from Equestria. 



It’s a pain really, I had to carry my homemade Gunbai, I mean the model itself is great but I could’ve at least painted it better, plus this thing is gonna really break my back thanks to how heavy it is.

I joined this contest so I could probably get a better home or better furniture for my crampy apartment. Acutally, no, it’s not crampy, it’s perfectly fine as it is. I walked along the corridor of the convention to find some booths to check. Nothing else apart from some things that give out food or toys. But what caught my eye is this empty stand that had Tobi’s war mask. Except it’s jaw and lower face isn’t long, it could perfectly match my face! 

I jogged towards’s the stand and gave a better look at it. It’s no face mask, It’s an entire helmet! It covers my hair, ears and the back of my head. I tried fitting it and it easily slid in, I did some ways to prove it doesn’t get taken off that quick, and this thing is great for me, it’s a must have!

I only had Obito’s purple robe while behind it is the proudly displayed Uchiha clan symbol, his Gunbai (even though it’s not technically his) and his eye contacts, I’m lucky I got them, but now I get to have Tobi’s War Mask, not only as display but also to wear!

I called out for the vendor to come out as I felt a little tap on my shoulder. I turned quickly to find an old man wearing a black robe, covering his entire body. His fingernails were like claw marks and his face is so wrinkled, and I swear I saw his eyes were yellow. Yeah, this guy looks like Emperor Palpatine.

“Heh, took a liking to that mask, eh?” He said while I nodded. “Well, it’s the last stock so I’ll give it to you for a price of.. 85 dollars.” He said, I scoffed a bit, my hand shaking to get my wallet. I got a grab on it and pulled out the exact change.

“You got yourself a deal here pal.” I said, handing him the money and took it, in return I put on my war helmet and wore it proudly. “Behold! The true power of the Sharingan!” I said to myself while having the ‘Madara’ voice. I heard the old man chuckle, as I turn to look at the mirror the stand had.

It’s eye sockets fit my eyes very well, my contacts are very well placed. I took out my phone and checked the picture of masked Obito for reference, and it did seem to fit well.

I took another look when I saw on my right eye, was a swirling vortex, I backed a bit from the mirror, shock and fear overtaking me. I kept looking at the mirror and still saw the swirling vortex, the old man chuckled as I felt my body getting sucked in and getting crushed. I tried to scream in pain but the damn vendor was the last thing I heard.

“Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it soon.”



Reminiscing my moments here in Equestria is a different thing I’ll do for a different time. I raised my head from my bed, and still saw my War Mask and Gunbai. The weapon leaning on the end table while the Mask placed on the surface of the furniture.

I sighed, my heart beating a bit faster as I knew the seal is about to break. I chuckled, my plan would now come about, as long as I know what Season these ponies are in. I looked towards the seal, it looked simple really. It’s a one-sided Uchiha Flame Formation that glowed in the color of blue, while it had a seal that looked like a lock, chains wrapped on the wall while it glowed in a golden hue. With my Sharingan, the lock on my door looked to to have my Mangekyou in it. Although, I have a secret room in this prison, allowing me to kill some creatures for food but also make resources for my own.

And boy with my knowledge and extended abilities, I scrounged up materials and magic to create something that could make me more powerful, even though I already have my Rinnegan. But I still need the final ingredient in order to finalize and finish my product of work. After that, I get to conduct and set my project in motion.  

I checked the alarm clock beside my bed. 4:58 and it’s what.. April 2? Hmph, I grabbed my planner in my drawer and checked to see what timeline this could be. I got imprisoned ever since April 2, but that was 3000 years back. Heh, I wonder what my folks would say about me? Unless they’ve aged to...

I shook my head away from my thoughts, that thought haunts me a bit. My heart beated faster, as freedom it about to taste Obito. I got a heavy breath, then exhaled heavily. The thought of it just.. brings me back to life. I lost words in my head because of how clouded my mind is, calming down doesn’t work, but my anxiety may have to wait. I can’t stop thinking about freedom, and freedom leads to my master plan. 

I remembered my techniques and skills, it has been a very long while ever since I used them. Other than what Obito knows, I have some extensions. I’ve mastered the Rasengan, Lightning techniques, some Wind techniques. Gunbai techniques, Ninshu, Ninpo, even the true power and extent of my Kamui, and some powers of my Rinnegan.

Although what disturbed me when I found out about myself, I remembered memories that didn’t belong to me, but belonged to Obito himself. I learned about his true thoughts, since half of the things they know aren’t fully presented. If I think of Rin, which I then said making my heart skip a beat, I remembered.. her. I remember Obito’s plans with Madara..

Goddamn Madara.

Thinking about him makes me sick, he used to be my third favorite character next to Itachi and Kakashi. Now.. now with Obito’s thoughts and memories, I wish I could really beat the shit out of him! I realized that I clenched my teeth, sensation of it sucks. I wanted my thoughts away from a traitor, so I try to forget about Madara but that didn’t really help my case, since it still made me think of him more. 

I thought about escaping using Kamui, but that goddamn seal prevented me from doing so. I did that one time back then, I used my Kamui: Ethereal to pass through the barrier, but it just electrocuted me to the equal of a Chidori. Even escaping through the dimension and teleporting somewhere else, nothing happened.

However, those attempts made me learn of how the barrier will weaken. Using a combination of jutsus and the help of Kamui, I saw damages on my seal. Small cracks and color dimming, but after about 10 seconds the barrier quickly restored and returned to it’s peak form.

Now that I have an indicator as to how my prison will deteriorate, my plan could go on as expected. But before doing so.. I need some stuff from Canterlot itself.

Heh, Celestia and Luna. Those two knuckleheads were the ones responsible for trapping me here. Remembering the night I was banished, they had made great progress. I trained them like no other ponies would, their team effort looked like a very memorized and perfect performance. I was impressed in actuality, those two were like family to me. Two sisters and their big brother, but I’m guessing that idea changed when I got banished to this small crystal cave.

I’m thankful that they didn’t let me rot here until death or boredom, that barrier did have an effect of freezing my age, so I’m like.. 3025 years old by now. Books were provided but food, they let me suffer from that. It’s why I thought about having a backdoor to my backyard, where I could scavenge and see what I could do with what I have.

My heart beated faster once more, as I felt the barrier’s seal weaken. I looked back at my prison door to see it glowing, I waited for a moment before I grabbed my gear. I wore my Mask and latched the chain to my Gunbai and placed it on my back, easily sheathing it. I don’t know why it doesn’t fall off, but I’m not gonna question cartoon logic.

The barrier glowed once more, before it finally dimmed to a dark navy blue color, the golden chains dissipated from existence, as the barrier glowed once more and dimmed.

Now, I’m free.

I placed my hand on the barrier, the lightning never came. I chuckled, as I raised and kicked the barrier with hard force, shattering with ease and fell like glass shards. I looked at my chance, then I looked down to the ruined barrier. I took a breath, in and out. Before walking slowly to the entrance of the cave. The light slowly got brighter and brighter, before I placed my foot on the first step to the cave entrance. I stood while shielding my eyes, and looked towards the sky.

THE GODDAMN SUN.

After 3000 years of imprisonment, I can finally feel the sun’s rays along my body. I forgot the light so much I got used to the darkness. I waited a bit, before my sight cleared of the light’s brightness.

It seemed it was an extra sunny day. I could see a small town from the distance and a crystal tower as well. Hmph, Ponyville finally happened. I looked towards my feet to still remember that I was in front of the cave entrance, not laying a foot on the grass.

I slowly placed my foot on the grass, I touched the green flora. My feet feeling nature’s sensation. Goddamn, it is good to be back. I walked down to the grass immediately and raised my arms in joy, “I’m free!!” I shouted in happiness.

That is when I felt a silver string pull my feet together. 

I quickly conjured a Chakra Rod, I grabbed it with my left hand and swiped the trip wire. “Fuck,” I mumbled to myself. “it’s an alarm.”

My suspicions were quickly answered when I felt 7 energy sources. I tracked the source of magic, and—Holy shit it’s strong! I shot my eyes in shock, two earth ponies, one felt a little strong and one was CRAZY strong. Two Pegasi, one felt a little weak and the other felt a little strong too. Two unicorns, one weak and the other was a bit strong, and an alicorn, the strongest of it all next to the strong earth pony. But that’s nothing compared to how high their magic level is when I saw them all together, it felt like it matched the Sage of Six Path’s chakra reserve.

I gripped my Gunbai in preparation, knowing already who the group was. But I’m not gonna waste a chance of intimidation, I drew my Gunbai completely, before swinging it to the tree in front of me and simultaneously weaved a mental handsign. “Wind Style: Divine Wind!” I said, the tree completely broke in half and flew a bit towards the incoming ponies. I wonder how they found me?

The tree rolled towards the lavender alicorn who easily grabbed it with her magic as the strongest unicorn blasted a bolt to completely destroy it. I felt some fear kick-in the ponies, especially towards the yellow pegasus. I placed and sheathed my Gunbai on my back once more, before facing the ponies with hatred. They skidded to a stop before me, and they saw intimidation in my eyes and fear reflected upon their faces. I didn’t use the Sharingan’s true extent yet because that’ll just be wasted on these ponies.

“Who are you?” The lavender alicorn asked first of them all, fear trembled in her voice. Hmph, I may know them all too well since my vast liking towards MLP, but I don’t plan on sharing my thoughts about them.  

I prepared my Madara voice. “Listen weakling! You are of no interest to me! Step out of my sight-“ I grabbed my Gunbai again with my right arm, and pointed towards them with my left. “-or go out of my way!”
> Step Out or Go Out
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

“-or go out of my way!” I yelled, I swung my Gunbai once more except with great strength, creating a large tornado of wind as it flew towards the group. The ponies scattered and launched back, feminine shrieks resounded from the background. The cyan coated and rainbow-maned pegasus got back to her hooves and blasted to the air. She immediately flew inside the big tornado and flew while spinning around in the opposite direction, trying to stop the twister I did.

Hmph, I weaved Tiger and inhaled a portion of the air, “Fire Style: Running Fire!” I thought, as I released the air in a form of blazing fire. The flame connected with the wind, as the tornado now turned into a large tornado of blaze. The pegasus inside the vortex spewed out of the fading tornado, her body was burning heavily but not too injuring. 

The tornado was gone, bits of flame was burning the grass. Goddamn, I just got back and these retards ruined the landscape. The lavender alicorn and the light pink unicorn got back up and released two beams of energy towards me. I lazily raised my Gunbai to block both attacks. The surface of my fan turned into a blinding silver light, The beam tried to penetrate through the weapon, but faded after seconds of blocking.

“Wha-?!”

“H-how?” Both ponies stuttered in shock.

“Uchiha Reflection.” I muttered, before the Gunbai raised it’s brightness, returning both energy beams towards their faces. The projectiles hit both ponies, they weren’t dead but they were knocked unconcious.

I thought of reasoning with the ponies since I’m not going to find out what the pink earth pony has in store for me. “Listen you maggots, leave me be and I’ll stop this nonsensical fighting.” I said loudly, catching the attention of those who were still breathing and watching. I waited for 10 seconds of silence before the orange earth pony started to gallop towards me.

“Ah hear yer’ a dangerous feller’! We’ll stop ya here and now!” The western accent came, I scoffed. The earth pony spun her lasso, as I just put a hold on my previous Chakra Rod, hidden on my robe’s wrist. The lasso came through and caught me. “Ha!” The earth pony forced her forelegs to try and pull me over to her, but my weight gets the better of her.

“Hmph, here I thought earth ponies were strong!” I taunted, I swung my Chakra Rod towards the rope, slicing it. The earth pony looked at me in disbelief, before I aimed my hand to her and launched the Chakra Rod. The Rod flew towards her freezing body, as the nullifying weapon hits flesh, except it wasn’t the earth pony’s flesh. It hit the white unicorn that shielded her from the attack.

The Rod was square on the unicorn’s lower body, she dropped unconcious while her mouth dripped with blood. The orange cowpony saw her friend and tried to wake and heal her. I watched the idiot farmer pry the Rod out of her but I felt her magic weaken when the Rod absorbed her.

I barely dodged the pink pony’s swing in the corner of my eye, I’m lucky the Sharingan bested her hyper speed. She threw her punches and kicks at me, I however, easily dodged them with my visual prowess. Her speed was still slow even with my Sharingan. “YOU HURT MY FRIENDS!” She cried, as she threw a punch beside where my face should be. “AND NOW YOU’LL PAY MEANIE!!” She exclaimed, her form stopped and prepared a strong buck. She did kick, but I couldn’t say how stong it was since I caught her hind legs with ease.

“Hmph, pathetic.” I said, giving her a slow but strong kick to her flank as I leapt to the air and sped towards the pink earth pony while forming a kick. My foot impacted her body as she spat out blood, I body surfed on her and gave her the final blow. “Thanks for the ride.” I kickflipped her body as she went flying towards the rainbow-maned pegasus.

I looked at the sight, the mane 7 lay injured before me, while I barely raised a finger on them. Wait.. six? Where’s Flutter-

“THAT’S IT!” The butter mare roared, as she sped towards me and stopped before my face was two mere inches from her’s. “YOU DO NOT GET TO HURT MY FRIENDS LIKE THAT YOU MEAN MONSTER!” She exclaimed, as her eyes finally showed what’s mean. She gave me ‘The Stare’.

“Aagh!” I faked a groan, as I pretended to crumple before her. “S-st-stop!” I cried. Heheh, maybe playing with her a bit could be fun, especially when I see her face.

“That’s right! You say sorry or you’ll be sorry!” She said, intensifying her genjutsu. I continued to fake my downfall, I took it to the next level by using Kamui to fade into the ground.

As this rate, I saw the ponies slowly recovering, while Twilight being the one watching. “You can do it Fluttershy!” She cheered. The butter pegasus smiled, before returning a frown at me. “Say you’re sorry!” She stated.

“I-I-I’m s-s-sor—“ Then I faded completely into the ground.



Fluttershy’s stare faded, as she panted and almost collapsed to the ground. She heard hoofsteps come behind her, feeling the alicorn’s warm hug around her.

“You did it!” She cheered, giving her a smile.

“I-I.. I did it?” She questioned.

“Yes you did!” Starlight reassured, giving her pal a hug too.

“We managed to defeat the ‘Vortex Monster’!” Twilight exclaimed.

“It seems so..” A cold voice said from behind. The three’s expression turned that of fear, as they turned to find their enemy standing perfectly normal.



I laughed mentally, seeing Fluttershy’s scared face of denial is kinda priceless. Eh, shitty jokes aside, I turned my gaze to the recovering group, hmph, weaklings.

“Your genjutsu seemed a bit impressive for a pony, but that stare means nothing to my eyes!” I exclaimed, glaring at Fluttershy with my Sharingan. She stared back, but received the genjutsu I intended to give her. The pegasus quickly fell to the ground out cold. Starlight and Twilight looked at Fluttershy, each other, and back to me.

“Now then, how about you two?” I said, both ponies embraced and tried to shield Fluttershy. Heh, friendship really is strong.. if your friends don’t backstab you. My Kamui started to spin, the vortext appearing in front of my eye. It started sucking stuff, but not strong enough to grab both Starlight and Twilight. ‘Come on.. where are you two?’ I thought.

My Kamui still spun, while both ponies are still in fear, closed eyes, and hugging each other. ‘Anytime now..’ I give up, at least make them believe I’ll hurt them. I gathered some shurikens in my dimension, I’m just about this close to spewing out shurikens. I felt a small star about to go as-

“ENOUGH!!” A heavenly voice exclaimed from above. I felt the energy surge, rise up very high. I slightly chuckle, finally..

The Royal Sisters are here.

The ground crashed with two figures in the middle of the smoke. Hmph, their energy levels.. it never changed a bit. The smoke slowly fades, as the two alicorns reveal themselves. The tall white one with the rainbow mane was on the right, while the small night blue with the night sky on her mane was on the left. I smile under my mask, finally, an actual person I could interact with.

“Twilight.” Celestia firmly said, her former student looked at her. “Get your friends and vacate the area, immediately.” Twilight nodded, I watched her and Starlight teleport the group away from us.



The group appeared on a small hill, where they could see three specs back where they were at. Twilight turned back to her friends who were still recovering, although the one in the best condition is Rainbow Dash, who groaned and spoke first. “Wh-what happened?”

“Did we beat.. it?” Applejack asked, still clinging to Rarity. Starlight quickly went to them to assist, teleporting the Chakra Rod away but felt her entire energy reserve fade out.

“N-no.” Starlight replied with shivers, Twilight sensed her energy reserve and immediately went to her. Her horn glowed, sharing bits and bits of magic to her friend.

“Then.. what happened?” Rainbow asked once more, trying to sit up only to grunt in pain.

“Celestia and Luna came..” Twilight panted.

“Sweet mother of-! We gatta go help ‘em!” Applejack tried standing, but just like her pal Rainbow Dash, she moaned in pain before collapsing back to the ground.

“Judging from our conditions, we won’t be standing a chance towards that.. thing.” Twilight’s horn stopped working, as she sat on her haunches. “So we have to just sit back and hope for the best.”



Huh, we haven’t moved for a while ever since the group teleported away. The entire time was just silence, while they both glared at me. They looked like they wanted to say something but stopped themselves from doing so.

Guess I’ll break the silence first. “So..” I started. “It’s been a while huh? Good to see you both grow up quickly ‘Chell, and you too Lulu.” I said.

“So it would appear that the barrier is broken, I’m going to guess that wanna go back in?” Celestia said, her glare still directed at me.

“Come on, not even a ‘hi! how were you?’ or ‘sorry we trapped you in a prison for 3000 years’?” I then faced them with my own glare. “Don’t you think I won’t forget those agonizing 26 million hours of waiting, I counted.”

“Obito, we’re sorry.” Luna replied, her frown turned into a sad one. 

“I wish we hadn’t come to it like that.” Celestia said, her sincere tone very visible. “But it happened, because there were some lines you all had to cross.”

“Some lines I crossed?” I gritted my teeth under my mask, the grip on my Gunbai got harder. “Some lines I crossed?! I’m not the one who killed someone I very much cared about, because she was the only one who understood me!”

“Well we’re not the one who came about attacking national allies and blamed us for it just because someone I cared died!” What the fuck did you retort? What the fuck did you say?

“You take that ‘just because’ back! You never understood why you’re parents died you ungrateful teenagers!” I replied.

“Why you little-!”

“Sister, enough.” Luna spoke calmly.

Celestia sighed. “I know. I just don’t want to repeat what happened back then, a lot of my ponies died under your doings.” She looked at me with that last sentence.

“I’ve had enough of this reunion.” I said, weaving a handsign as the Royal Sisters when a cloud of smoke appeared beside me, revealing a clone of myself. “Take care of them,” The Sisters twitched a move. “I’ll be getting something first.” The vortex swirled in front of me, as Luna tried to interrupt me by flying to my vortex but was too late, I had already warped to my intended location.

The Royal Sisters’ Restricted Vault.


 

Clone’s POV


“Sister, go after him!” Celestia ordered, her sister immediately followed by flying up. I easily jumped and grabbed her hind leg.

“You have to go through me!” I said, throwing Luna towards her sister. Both alicorns crashed on the dirt as I prepared a jutsu. “Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu !” I chanted, before three large bursts of fire that took the shape of dragons flew towards the Royal Sisters. I landed on the ground, still on my feet.

The dragon flame was met with a heavy and angry stream of water coming from Celestia’s mouth. Hmph, Rampaging Water Technique. As I would’ve guessed, she finished with a tiresome face. I sensed her chakra level was low due to the amount of water she put in. “The use of that technique would drain your chakra.” I spoke, preparing another jutsu. “Fire Style: Hiding in Ash Jutsu!” I mentally said, exhaling to release a large load of ash and flame, covering the entire 30 meter radius.

I hid by perching on a tree, I sensed to see where Celestia and Luna is. Celestia is still in front of me trying to probably sense where I am. Luna is trying to.. ah, goddamnit.

“You’re not going anywhere!” I exclaimed towards Luna who faced where my voice was. I shot her a Chakra Rod, to which it was then blasted away by a water bullet. 

“Lightning Ball!” After doing handsigns, a barrage of small lightning orbs appeared around me. I aimed towards Luna as the barrage sped towards her. The ash started to fade, I knew Celestia had sight on me.

I faced towards her and charged up Lightning Blade on my left hand. After gaining amount of chakra, I saw her charge up her chakra as well. At the same time, we both released out our jutsus.

“Lightning Beast Running Jutsu: Twin!!” I mentally said, as I released two lightning fanged beasts from my Lightning Blade.

“Wind Style: Immense Breakthrough!!” Celestia stated, releasing a thick gust of wind towards me. Both jutsu’s collided and ended with nothing else happening, leaving it to me as a draw. From the corner of my eye I saw Luna’s electrified body spazzing on the ground. When Celestia saw it, she gasped.

‘An opening!’ I thought, weaving handsigns once more. “Wood Style: Wood Dragon Jutsu!” I formed a ‘Ram’ handsign as a wooden dragon emerged from the ground just beside me. The dragon flew towards Celestia while it roared loudly, the Princess of the Sun saw this and prepared an energy beam, sensing how large it is.. it’s a medium. She released the yellow beam onto the dragon which did barely anything. The dragon continued still and roared as it bit Celestia’s back, then formed around her body to restrain her movement. Slowly, I felt her chakra absorb onto me, I felt her struggle but her breathing seemed a bit interrupted.

‘Now that she’s out of the way.’ I thought, turning to where Luna was but nopony laid sprawled on the ground.

As if on cue, I heard the Rasengan form behind me along with a voice, “You should really pay more attention!” Luna’s speed was still slow since my Sharingan kicked in, I gripped my left and quickly charged a Chidori. Instantly, it blackened and turned into an Onyx Chidori. I turned to Luna to see her right hoof holding the Rasengan. She aimed it towards my face, luckily I managed to get my Onyx Chidori to clash with her in time.

Both jutsus struggled to win against each other, and Chidori is just a destroyed version of the Rasengan. But I added some Six Paths portion to turn the table around. Slowly, I felt my Chidori move against Luna. She tightened her grip and pushed further, but to no luck I won our clash and pierced through the jutsu and placed the Chidori on her body. She blasted back from the level of power and hit the wall of the cliff.

To my surprise, Luna dissipated in a puff of smoke. ‘Shadow Clone.’ I sighed.




Original POV


I walked across the empty hallway, filled with trophies, jewels, artifacts and items that seemed so rare and important. The hallway was just lit by the torches on the wall, so I already resorted to my Sharingan. I looked around a bit before finding a locked metal box labeled; ‘Science Misc.’ placed beside a trophy case. Man, whoever named that box quite retarded. Other labels here are at least designated. I opened the lid to see some random stuff, a bunch of prototype batteries, some burnt PCB board, I scrummaged through the mess until I found two small containers, filled with embalming fluid that’s preserving two eyes. The cell phone I had, and the small heavy black orb.

Hmph, I placed the phone and the orb on my back pocket, while I strapped the two containers onto my waist. I turned tail only to meet with Luna.

“Huh, guess my clone did a bad job huh?” I asked.

“No, I did get struck by a barrage of lightning orbs.” She replied casually.

“What are you doing here Luna?” I asked seriously, her smile replaced with a frown.

“I’ll need that.” She looked at my eye containers.

“No.”

“Excuse me?”

“Nope.”

“Oh for Faust sake..”

“Seriously, what do you wanna talk about?” I ask, this time being genuine. She just looked at me sternly, before breaking eye contact. I sighed silently, I teleported my helmet into my dimension and faced her with my true face and voice.

“I’m here, Obito.” I said with my normal voice, or Obito’s voice. I gave her smirk, she looked at me back before smiling and pulling me into a hug.

“Please don’t leave again..” She mumbled.

“I can’t do that. I hurt your ponies, y’know.”

She sighed. “Oh Twilight, pulling her friends into trouble just to save Equestria.” She released her hold on me. “I’m sorry if they caused you trouble.”

“No, I’m the first to attack. They just defended themselves from harm’s way, so it’s me to be blamed.” I stated, yeah. That’s exactly what happened with what I can remember.

She sighed again, I saw her tearing up a bit. Shit, that made me smile. “Well,” She breathed heavily. “you better get going.”

“See ya.” I sunk into the ground with my Kamui. At that point she just watched. After I’m out of sight, I wore my Mask once more and teleported to my clone.



I appeared beside the clone, who seemed to taunt Celestia struggling with the wood dragon. Well, it’s a playful thought.

“Jesus, I thought you got stronger.” My clone said. Weirdly, Celestia slightly chuckled and stopped grunting.

“Well, you got what you need?” She said, returning her expression to a slightly pissed one. The clone turned to me before scoffing and vanishing in a cloud of smoke.

“Yeah, I’ll keep in touch. Thanks.” I replied with my Madara voice. I gained it’s memories, boy Celestia, you suck still. I mentally disabled my dragon, which then broke down into layers of wood and freed Celestia. She groaned in pain when she hit the grass with her flanks. 

I started to teleport away as the vortex started sucking me in. Going to my destined location.



Celestia recovered, she saw that Obito was gone. She hummed, before standing back up and trotted towards the scroll he had left. She unrolled it when she took sight of it, a letter. She read silently all the details.



It’s been a while ‘Chell. Hope you’ve prepared for my plans, I’m guessing you haven’t so haha, eat it ding dong!

Anywho, I have some demands if you choose to leave me and my plans be: 
one, never send a squad to eliminate me. Or else you’d want heads to roll right? 
Two, never acknowledge anyone else of my presence, unless you want panic and destruction right? 
Three, leave me to handle the Elements of Harmony, trust me, nopony will get hurt.

That’s all I demand really, be lucky that I didn’t ask for any resource request ‘cause that would be a hassle. Also, you and Luna look really cute when you’re pissed off. Anyway, see you around. If you want to piss me off that is.

To Luna and Celestia, forever,

Obito.  



Celestia sighed, she found it breathtaking to process what her pal wrote.

“I have to think about this.”
> New Progression

Castle Infirmary


Celestia sighed, patiently waiting for her nurses to finish treating the Mane 7. She shook her head, why were they there in the first place? It’s a longing question that Celestia wants answered. ‘Aside from that, I need to deal with Obito.’ She thought, still watching the staff do their work.

For a few minutes, the staff trotted out of the room. The alicorn looked towards her subjects who were covered in bandages, head wraps, holding crutches. Obito must’ve done a number on them. After the last doctor diagnosed their injuries, he left and gave Princess Celestia the room. The group still glanced at their Princess, who was at the other side of the door still watching them. She already felt the guilt of some, while others didn’t catch it that much.

She entered the room, taking another glance at her injured subjects. “Let us make this quick shall we.” She stated. “Twilight, what were you thinking, going to that cave?” She asked, “Tell me, what were you all doing when you reached that cave?” Celestia hadn’t tried to put any tones—whether positive or negative—to make this easier for them to explain. 

“Well,” Twilight started, shame spread on her face. “I’ve stumbled across a journal that an old pony wrote centuries ago. It explained what he did and all, but what intrigued me is the ‘creature in the mask’.” Celestia’s interest went a bit higher. “The journal explained what he did to Equestria’s history, he had helped, well you, but in the end, used that trust against you.” She paused. “The pony decoded and broke down that his imprisonment would end at this day exactly. Me and my friends attempted to ‘try’ and talk it out safely but..” She almost broke down, when Applejack stood forward.

“It may have attacked us first Princess, but we wer’ in over our heads when we attacked back.” She said.

Rainbow Dash tried to cut it out, “AJ! What are you-“ Her whispering was stopped by Rarity’s hissing, causing her to keep silent.

Applejack continued. “It tried ta’ reason with us, the second Twilight and Starlight went down. But Ah was too aggressive that I had stepped up the line. ‘Cuz of that, everypony went down, because of me.” She said, guilt forming. “So Princess, if you were ta’ give us a consequence, it would be me.”

“AJ! We’re not going to allow you to take the blame!” Twilight exclaimed beside her.

“Well, Ah’m doing it now.” Then that’s where the group tried to talk her out. Celestia watched for a bit, lost in her thoughts. The sight reminded her of some memories, half of which were good. She mentally smiled, before breaking up the noise.

“Enough!” The ponies immediately silenced, stopping to listen. “Nopony here is to take the blame. The creature has attacked first, therefore it is self-defense. But why would all of you foolishly face a creature with powers that match ours head-on?” Celestia scolded. The group lowered their heads, their faces saddened. 

“But I have to say, I am proud of you all.” She smiled. Then the mane 7 looked up in confusion.

“But, we-“

“You hypothesized a potential threat. None of you left your friends or gave up, all of you stood together. You worked together to bring down the enemy.” She spared a glance to Starlight and Twilight, who looked at each other. “Some of you which, sacrificed yourself for your friends.” Rarity looked back at all the eyes looking at her. Applejack then came forward and gave her a hug. “All of you worked together, none of which turned their back. I was more than satisfied when I learned that you all can return to your normal conditions.”

The group started to cheer up, some started tearing up, like Fluttershy and Rarity. Some started laughing, like Pinkie and Starlight. The mane 7 had once again returned to their normal conditions. “But next time, please be more careful.” The mane 7 returned their look to Celestia. “Let us handle the enemy next time, and if we need all your help, we’ll call you.” The group returned nods and smiles to their Princess.

‘Now, that’s one problem out of the way,’



Celestia generated her shield, bullets and bullets coming from the griffon’s side felt like it never ended. The heavy advancement of the griffon’s weaponry looked like it wasn’t native of the world. It looked impossible to replicate such technology with the lacking knowledge of other elements, even the smartest of scientists couldn’t break down the workings of the weapon. Her guards struggled to keep up the barrier, as some tried to scoot over to the Princess. Adding layers of defense and combined it to make a long wall of defense. ‘Damn it! Is there no end to this?’

The war was one-sided. The griffons were impressed that the ponies were managing to hold back their own and still have a high morale. Managing. It’s unfair really, this started as a summit to a sob story, some idiot revealed classified info about the griffon’s evil workings and out worldly development. A fight broke out when the summit was midway, ponies and griffon were losing equal ground. That day marked the time they go to war.

Then reality bumped into Celestia’s mind, as the battlefield quaked.

The forest rumbled and exploded, a thick titanic smoke appeared from the ground. Birds flew away avoiding the area. The griffon’s stopped firing their rifles, looking towards the fog with shocked faces. The guardponies shared the same expression, with Celestia at awe of what’s happening.

Another explosion resounded, immediately, smoke dialed off the source of the explosions. Celestia’s Company took this chance to advance. The unicorn guards started to generate their magic, which then they released bolts of energy towards the enemy. The griffons fell dead, the others took notice and tried to push back, but the distracting explosions made it seem hard. The ponies’ breakthrough gradually got stronger, as griffons continued to fall and fall. Until the juggernauts of the opposing side arrived.

The Javelin of Griffonstone is an elite group of warriors consisted by griffons. Their feats make the alicorn’s powers look like child’s play, saying more about the group means nothing by time you’ve realized what they’ve accomplished. The so-called ‘Juggernauts of the Javelin’, looked gigantic. Bigger than the adult average of a griffon. Their body was exposing big muscles, their entire body was armored in reinforced gold, which included the wings and tail as well. Their helmets would either expose their face or mask their entire head. Their weapons matched with their size, spear or halberd, each fitted with their own specialties. Said specialties would include effects like poison, withering, weakening, absorption and other offensive capabilities.   

They stood in front of the camp, proudly puffing out their chest. Their spears and halberds planted on the dirt. Celestia’s Company stopped, before having the Princess step forward and then taking a look. She thought that they were unfazed from the rumbles and explosions, unlike some griffons which she could see in the background. Their glare meant nothing more than a mask. She coughed, preparing herself to speak. “Tell me, where is your Superiors?”

“We are the Superiors.” The juggernauts replied bitterly. Their claws starting to hold onto their weapons, the spear and halberd was off the ground. They prepared a swing when Celestia prepared a strong barrier. She thought those titans would swing like a lazy drunk, she thought wrong. As the guards gathered their strength, Celestia kept on charging, when those beasts of a griffon swung their weapons in a blink of an eye.

The blunt metal of their piercing weapons slammed into Celestia’s side, her eyes shot open in disbelief as she failed to protect herself. She launched to the side, hitting the ground like rubble as smoke and earth sprayed around, bit by bit.

“Princess!” The lead guard exclaimed, as the Company prepared their weapons and magic. The juggernauts aimed their spear and halberd toward’s the army. Just as they were about to release their firepower, they saw the Princess’ white hoof raise up towards her allies, gesturing to stand down. They followed her instruction after, as they saw her entire body was laid with wounds and gashes.

“Hmph, stubborn. I commend you Princess.” A juggernaut commented. “Now, retreat now before our metals pierce through you.”

Celestia didn’t move, she still gave an passive aggressive stare to the juggernauts, who just sighed.

“You leave us no choice.” Both giants gripped their weapons, now pointed towards Celestia. They retracted back their arm as Celestia prepared for the worst.

“Princess!” The captain yelled, preparing a spell.

“Suffer.” The juggernaut muttered, before throwing their weapons towards the Princess. The guards just watched, while the captain prepared to release his magic. Until-

KLANG!

Metal rang, as the two weapons suddenly went flying, crashing in the nearby forest. Both pony and griffon were at awe and denial. Celestia watched the entire thing with a stare, and now placed her gaze on the creature before her. It stood on it’s hind legs, it’s feet wore shoe-like features but exposed it’s smaller appendages. It wore a purple robe, with a symbol on he back, resembling a red fan and a white base. It’s gloved claws held onto it’s weapon, a giant.. guitar? It wore a mask as well, with a weird pattern consisting of.. commas?

The being used it’s weapon as a stand, looking up towards the giant birds. “Who are you to hurt the Princess?” It spoke in a masculine voice, a threatening sound placed on it’s tone.

“We are proud warriors of the Javelin! But who are you to stand in our way?” The juggernauts replied, standing proudly with their talons on their chests.

“I’m the one who’ll show you true power.” The being simply muttered, before performing a bunch of signs with it’s hands. It ended with a handsign, as the creature inhaled it’s air and spoke, “Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!” It exhaled and released a big ball of flame, blazing about and towards it’s intended targets.

The griffon raised it’s leg, trying to shield himself from the fire. But the orb of fire was denser and stronger, pushing back the titans along with his partner, who happen to try and help him stop the fireball.

“Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!” It spoke again before blowing an entire sea of destructive flame. “Amaterasu!” Then the sea of flame burnt into a black inferno. Speeding towards the griffons who broke their courage and screamed in fear. The flame engulfed them both, agonizing cries of pain called for help. But even their kin were too scared to interfere. The ponies were at shock, and Celestia was spectating what should’ve been 2 minutes of her job.

The fires ended, leaving a large charred griffon on the ground, dead. The ponies advanced forward, keeping the griffons in camp and ordered them to surrender. Celestia watched before getting back to her hooves, deciding to talk with the creature. However he raised out his arm, stopping Celestia from speaking her voice.

“Thank me when this war is over, Princess. You look to be in need of dire assistance.” He spoke, turning his head towards her.

“I..I-I.. Ok. But can I get your name?” Celestia asked back, she waited for a moment, before the being answered.

“Obito. Uchiha Obito.”

And that was 3000 years back.




Original POV


Ah Christ, my gut feels like it’s spinning.

One second, my gut felt compassionate about these ponies. Next second, I felt cringe take over and/or feel hatred towards them, more or less. Why? Have I been that soft? I’ve left Earth for what, 3000 years?

Ok, let’s stop it. I should stop fucking around and lying even to myself, especially that the fact that you’re quite lonely. And did I just say ‘you’re’? To myself?

I sighed heavily, sitting up from my mattress. I remembered where I was all of a sudden, a ruined shack placed between the distance to get to Manehattan and Fillydelphia. I remembered why I chose this place back then, it’s simple, nowhere, random, and quiet. I had already made some plans, beneath my mattress is a hole leading towards the digging site. It’s 1/4 of my entire plan actually.

I remembered what happened earlier, did I have genuine feelings for my pals once more? Or was I just lying?

I’m not going to stick around that idea for long, gives my the jitters and cringe. But it did remind me of..

Nope. Not going to return to more cringe.

I stood from my seating position, the Pegasi had already gathered clouds around the area. I look to still see the dark grey sky, about to rumble a cyclone once I’m moving forward. I look at my Mask, placed on top of a charred shelf. I placed it in my Kamui, better to keep it there so it won’t easily get lost.

I have a great chance of getting by Celestia and Luna’s radar, or a bad odd of clashing with the Sisters once more. I’m down towards the second path I have planned, getting to the first might be boring but very safe. What the heck, I’ll finalize it by the time I make my deciding move.

That leads me first to my prepation, I need to recruit two people, pony or not, my plans for them would come abound once I’ve perfectly thought about how it’s going to happen. I won’t be picking out ponies through a city or something, I gotta have to see what guts they have, then my plans would start to fall in place. 

Then there was the guy I made a deal with back then. I made him immortal, and in return he’ll serve or help me until the end of time or until I perish. Hmm, maybe I should pay him a visit once more. 

Oh well. I transformed myself into a white unicorn with the black rough hair Obito has. I stepped off the robe I wore, and placed it upon my duffel bag. I checked my flank to see my cutie mark, a Kamui. Yeah, I’ll be so obvious. I mentally changed what it looked like, to now see it as a log and a crossbow. Heh, it looks like a ‘survivalist’ cutie mark.

I checked the cracked mirror on the wall to look at myself. My mane was looking what I exactly said, but my eyes were normal. Except my right iris was colored as a dark red. While my left iris had a mignight purple shade. Huh, it works still. Not too obvious, really.

Boy I’m hungry. I’m lucky I could remember what Manehattan looks like.




Castle Lounge

“Sister, are they alright now?” Luna asked her sister, who just entered the room.

“Yes, they are.” She felt her voice’s volume fade. Letting out a sigh and approached her sister. Who is inspecting her ‘Dream Map’ to find out where Obito might’ve been. Her map is drawn in Equestria, it can detect even the slightest of thoughts, or daydreams. But that scans the entire country, however she doesn’t waste her magic or Chakra. What would waste it, is when she would access 500 or more ponies’ thoughts. She found that out when she played around in the moon to avoid boredom.

“Have you found him?” Celestia asked, her voice felt like shaking.

“Hmmm...n-no.” Luna opened her closed eyes, and breathed heavily. “He can conceal his Chakra signs somehow, or maybe has he grown stronger, or-or maybe I just can’t find him right.” She groaned and placed her head on her hooves. Somehow, in the bottom of Celestia’s heart, she sensed doubt.

Celestia felt like spitting out fire in her stomach, and asked without thought. “Luna, what did you actually do when you encountered Obito in the vault?”

“Sister I already told you, he overpowered me with his weapon and—“

“In all honesty Luna, what did you actually do?” Celestia said again, firmly. There’s no turning back to this question later, it’d be better if she asks it here and now.

Luna, easily broke down. She can’t keep up the facade forever, she sighed again and closed her eyes. “Of course, I didn’t do anything to stop him.” She opened her eyelids again. “Celly, it’s been a while ever since I saw his true face and voice.”

Celestia gasped slightly, she felt Luna’s tone droop sadly. Her sister’s eyes began to water, “Celly, I cared for Obito just as I cared for him. Hugging him just..” Her tears dripped from her eyes, then to her cheeks. “It just brought me back to true happiness.” Her voice quivered, Celestia took it too far. She approached her sobbing sister and embraced her.

“It’s—I’m here.” She nuzzled her head. She felt her coat water a bit from her tears. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have took it too far.” She reassured her crying sister. As much as Celestia cared for Obito, she just saw how much he meant too Luna. His time back then affected them both deeply, her life was like a wild zigzag roller coaster. He affected both of their psyches, they matured too much thanks to him. Now he molded them from ignorant Royal Sisters into actual adults.

She never wondered in her spare time how Obito can be helpful. All she thought was how he made her banish Luna to the moon.

It feels hurtful to think of plagued thoughts to a former family.




Original POV

It feels hurtful when pebbles are on your hooves. Jeesus, how come other ponies don’t mind it at all?

I walked across the street, finding an open food store. It serves meals to exquisite types of creatures or ponies, dragons or griffons. Meat, water, cooked animal, leaves, vegetables or even bacteria itself. All can be served here. But it’s a shame that this thing costs you a lot of bits just for an entry. The outside looks like a level three tier cafe, while the inside looked like a deluxe diner in a cruise ship. 

I paid the humble colt on the stand, if you’re wondering where my bits came from, it’s from my Kamui stash. Who am I even talking to? He gestured me to go inside. I went through the door to find a comfortable seat to myself. The bar. I sat on a stool, pulling up a menu and checked what they have.

I ordered a small cup of pork noodles, with a tall glass of sparkling water. After the waiter gathered my order, he left me hanging in boredom. Well, I’m not currently bored so, eh. But the inside of the food store is so cozy, it had a relaxing golden lighting, tables had orange lamps, the flooring was a comfortable brown wood and the wallpaper could match the floor if it wasn’t a bit lighter, or if it didn’t had a color of sand.

I went back to being bored, I had already refreshed myself with my plans. But there is one I need to be performed by now. I placed my head on my foreleg. I checked the modern looking wine rack, it had a bunch of alcohol that my asscrack brother would love. Whiskey, bourbon, beer, champagne—well, champagne is not really an adult drink, more of a bubbly sensation but still—and are those ingredients to make a cocktail? Huh, I’d wanna put this place on tabs.

Midway while waiting, I heard murmurs and voices in the corner of the building. I checked a glance on them, a white mare with a peach mane wearing glasses was talking to a thick brown stallion with a black long mane. I placed an ear on their conversation, listening in.

“Look, I am currently resting. I had a horsecrap of a day and I don’t want a grumpy client..b-barging in on my personal life!” The mare exclaimed, pointing her hooves to the guy.

“Well, if that is so.. we shall talk tomorrow afternoon in your office.” The stallion raised his hoof to his face. “I need this eye replaced, sooner or later. If you do so, we’ll think of-“

“-‘of blah blah blah’, you’ve said for how many times that you’d find a place for me in your company if I do this eye transplant. No, no thank you. I’m barely living off the salary of my job, my crappy suite is overpriced that I was thinking over my head when I bought it. My friends are busy with their lives, and I’m not going to partake in businesses of a dirty mob boss!” The mare again exclaimed, while her voice was lowered down. Huh, that talk is real heated and intense.

“Hmph, fine. As I said, we’ll talk in 3pm sharp, your office.” The guy got off the seat, now I saw his entire face. He was wearing a blue business attire, the color matching his eyes. The stallion trotted away and out of the building, that guy? A mob boss? Huh, I could maybe deal with that.

But I wanna talk to this lady, she’s said that she’d do an eye transplant for the dude. Exactly perfect for my first step. I got off my stool and slowly-quietly trotted to the mare. Who has dropped her head on her forelegs, letting out a groan before I reached the seat.

I sat on the sofa, sitting properly before letting out a cough. “Ahem,” The mare looked up from her forelegs and gave me the stink eye.

“Don’t tell me your Garrison’s goon.” She said bitterly. So that’s the mob boss’s name, huh.

“No, I’m not.” I said with my Obito voice. “But I overheard your conversation with him.” I leaned forward a bit. “I can help you deal with him.” She looked up to me with interest and curiosity. 

She chuckled a bit. “Really, how would you do that?” She asked with slyness in her voice. 

“Leave that to me.” I replied. “But before I do that, I need something in exchange.”

She frowned a bit, her sly smile gone. She felt that I was serious, huh, how easily convincing this mare is. “What, money? Something of value to me? Something of value to my lab?”

“I heard that you said you could do an eye transplant, you an eye doctor?”

“An ophthalmologist, but in laypony’s terms yeah, a doctor who specializes with eyes.”

“Well, Ms..?”

“Gem Sights, but Gem is fine.”

“Well Gem, in return for handling your ‘mob boss problem’ I need an eye transplant immediately.”

“Well, with what eye?” I take out the two containers that holds the eyes I need and showed it to her.

“This.” I replied, placing it back in my ‘pocket’ as the waiter serves both of our orders. I saw staring at me with a expression. She was looking at me with a surprised expression while I was looking at her food which is a simple coleslaw with melon juice. She shook off her look to me. Afterwards, the waiter leaves immediately.

“You’re cannibal?” She whispered. I shook my head.

“No, I don’t eat ponies however.” I replied, she felt a bit calm when I told her that. But she lost interest in my eyes? Or would she hold all questions later?

Silenced reigned as we both dug into our meals. On a side note, THE NOODLES TASTED FANTASTIC. Ahem, anyway..

After finishing the last of our drinks, she faces me with a serious expression.

I chuckled with what she said.

“When do we start?”
> Blank Slate -Pt.1
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

“So now can you tell me about your eyes?” Gem asked, pushing open the unlocked door to her lab. Darkness still loomed in the room, good thing she flicked the switch beside her. The room lit up, it was an entirely white room with some black trims to it’s walls. To the near left is a table with chairs on both sides, I’m guessing it’s where we’ll talk. The surface of the table had a bunch of stacked papers, a clipboard, and a largely sized record book. The lab revealed simple and basic ophthalmologist tools. In the right corner of the room is a table, holding a ophthalmoscope. To be put in simpler terms, it’s meant to examine the patient’s eye interior. There led a door across the room, I’m guessing it leads to the other equipments it needs.

After having our meal at the restaurant, the second we were out of the restaurant’s range, she barraged me with loads of questions about my unique eye that I plan to trnasplant to myself. It was annoying, but I managed to stop myself from answering any of her questions. Mid-way to her lab, I stopped her from.. talking. Telling her that I’ll explain everything in her lab is a bad idea. But if I have to get my Eternal Mangekyo, then I’ll do whatever risk it takes and get ready for trust issues or any other matter involving Gem’s anger.

“Hey, Log Bog, you there?” She called out my fake name. I turn to her, looking at me with a confused face.

“Ok,” I move towards a chair while she kept watching me. “I need you to trust me.” 

She still looked at me, dumbfounded. “What?”

“This, is not my true form.” I said. “I’m going to put my trust on you, that you’ll avoid screaming like a 10 year old mare who realized her father was a homophobe.”

“Ok?” She still looked unsure, lost for words.

“You good?” She nodded. “Okay.” I prepared gathering my Chakra, closing my eyes to concentrate. My horn glowed, and within mere moments, a cloud of smoke poofed out.

I heard Gem coughing. Trying to sway away the smoke while I realized I wasn’t wearing my mask. I didn’t have my Gunbai, but I did have my ninja gear, my eyes in my preservatory container and the black orb. After the cloud cleared, she turned to me. Before letting out a sharp gasp while I still kept my cool.

Then she started hyperventilating slowly, it gradually got rapid. Before I had to dash to her and comfort her shaking mind. “Hey hey! I’m here! It’s still me!” I tried rubbing her back, she seemed to calm down. Before she looked at my face.

“Wh-“ She backed away from me. “What are you?”

I sighed, walking towards a chair and sitting on it. “I’m a human. Homo Sapien to be scientific.”

“You’re an alien?”

“Already jumped to that conclusion? Yes. I’m not from this world.” She seemed to gather her cool, before slowly trotting towards the other side of the table and to the seat. She slowly took her seat, and gained her composure.

Then she fucking squealed.



“For fuck sake!” I yelled. Returning from pony form to my normal one. I threw my arms up and stared at her angrily.

“Hey, I can’t help it if an alien shows up and asks for an eye transplant! That’s why they looked smaller.” She stated.

After she squealed like a little bitch, she basically woke up half the building at that point. Ponies started to knock on her door. I had to transform back and boy, was it more annoying to calm down and settle the anger those ponies had. It was like a lunch line to iPhone Z. She kept smiling and fangirling, while I had to handle ponies as I wore an awkward face.

“I’ve already wasted enough time with Celestia and Luna, I’m not wasting more with idiot equines who think a mare saw my fucking dick!” Silence filled the room, it ended when Gem had to drop a line. 

“Burn.”

I groaned, before lazily landing myself onto a seat. I swiveled around the chair, then faced Gem who already sat across me. “What do you want to know?”

“I’ve got your species, but I don’t need to know about your kind’s history.” She said.

I felt relieved. “Good, that’ll save me from wasting time with-“

“Uh uh uh. I said, your kind’s history. Not your own history... umm..” I realized she was trying to get my name.

“Obito. My real name is Uchiha Obito.” I said.

“Well Mr. Obito-“

“Just Obito is fine.”

“Well Obito, you’ll tell me your life’s story then we’ll talk about eyes.”

Now I didn’t want to let an out an outrage here, so I did try to calm myself. Time is gold, I don’t need to waste more by bickering with Gem.

“Let’s start with Konoha.”




Castle Lounge


Celestia opened the door once more, as she just finished putting her sister to bed. She needs to calm down first, or else she won’t be able to concentrate on other ponies’ dreams. Celestia still had free time, supposedly she’s needs to be in bed. But with the new problem that came up, Obito needs to be dealt with. She still has no trust over his words. She’ll take any risk, any precaution to put Obito away. For good. For the sake of her little ponies.

”You both are very useless. Luna, your ability of intervening in other ponies’ dreams would lead you to criminals, thus the solution of imprisoning them is available. Lessening the crimes your society would have. Celestia, your influence in ponies may give you the will to lead the world into true peace. But right now, all I see are ungrateful brats who can’t even handle restraint and discipline.”

She shook her head of that memory, Celestia will prove her teacher wrong. She trudged over to where Luna had tried to find Obito. Celestia has no other alternatives, so sticking to her sister’s methods would do for now. She’ll find Obito, even to the ends of the earth, even if it takes her all night. But then again, her duties as Princess would prevent her from so.

She prepared her magic and Chakra. She released it all to image a map of the country. She focused on her Chakra, and tried finding similar energy sources to hers. Nothing. She waited, still nothing. She swapped to magic, then she felt it everywhere. Signifying everyone in the planet. Now she feels Luna’s pain of searching for Obito, she wasn’t screwing with her.

She tried to lower the standards, minimizing the amount of magic. She raised it up, finding only a set of energies. All sources separated from each other—except Luna and hers—one in Ponyville, the other in the Crystal Empire, one in the Dragonlands, one in the Badlands. Balancing the amount would just take her back from where was.

She returned to Chakra, but this time, finding a lone energy source in Manehattan. She raised the amount, it was still present. She tried sensing the energy it had, it almost felt immeasurable. It felt.. intimidating.

“Master, I will succeed you. In two days time.” She said to herself, before releasing her grip on the magical map. She had her job to handle and she was in her job seven days a week. Her requested vacation day would only come on Wednesday. Today’s Monday, the score will settle. She will have nopony interrupting them both.




Gem’s Lab 1st POV, 1 and a ½ hour later..


“So that, Kaguya person, made you sacrifice yourself to save your best friend and.. the world?”

“If you want to say that, yeah.”

“So why is it, you arrived in Equestria but not having the white hair but having instead a Rinnegan of.. Dadara?”

I chuckled, mistakenly saying Madara’s name. “I dunno, probably Kami found me tragic as Itachi.” I held off myself from telling her that I was a normal human before all of this.

“So could you tell me your time here in Equestria?” She asked with a big grin and a bright pair of eyes.

“That, is a story for another day.” I got up from my chair. “Besides, eye for an eye. You’ll tell me your life story sometime.”

After an hour, I think, I told her Obito—my ninja’s story. I was a determined kid who wanted to become Hokage. Then I had to save my crush, costing me an eye or a Sharingan. I was revived by Madara, he told me about the Infinite Tsukuyomi. When I saw Kakashi let Rin die—gaining my broken-ass Mangekyo—I’m convinced that I’ll do Madara’s bidding. Until—spoiler alert—I realized Rin’s death and the Hidden Mist’s plans was played by Madara himself. So after decades, I killed Minato, The Fourth Hokage and Kushina Uzumaki. I built the Akatsuki, gathered the Tailed Beasts and declared war on the Land of Fire. All while maintaining a low cover as Madara. Until everyone learned of who I was. Naruto convinced me that I could redeem myself, even though I’m beyond redemption with all the crimes I did. Then Madara screws up. Then Kaguya, then dead. And that’s it. But half of the time, I had to explain everything Gem didn’t quite understand. Which was pretty annoying. But then again, she’s just another wanderer that came across the Storyteller.

But I’m surprised she took half the thing unfazed and avoided being sick or grossed out of the idea of, massacres.

“Speaking of eyes, you might wanna start that eye transplant.” She blurted out, I didn’t turn to her but instead sit where the Ophthalmoscope was at. She trotted to the other side of the machine as we started the process. Half the time I listened while the other half I blanked out. I was actually surprised when I realized that she not only had expertise in healthcare but in biology as well. I don’t know if every Ophthalmologist needed to have a vast knowledge for Biology, or maybe I’m just being dumb. 

Eventually, she finished studying my eyes, and finalized how my eye transplant would go.

“Wow, I wasted time to realize that it’s just the same as any other.” She bitterly stated.

“So, no catch?” I asked.

“There is, I would’ve done it as any other if it didn’t need mass healing. I’ll just grab some stuff, you just prepare yourself. Just strip down to your.. shorts and place those containers onto that table there.” She said, rushing out the room and gathered some stuff. I followed what she asked for, I placed the eye containers onto the small table with tools. I took off my gloves, my sandals, my robe and my tight jumpsuit until I was stripped to my bare, long midnight purple shorts. I sat on the cold cushioned surface of the bed, while I took a look at the entire room. It was filled to the brim with a load of drugs, medication, tools and whatnot. 

I heard the sound of hoofsteps, I turned to see Gem wearing scrubs. Those things that surgeons wear, while pushing over another wheeled table, instead of tools, it was placed with medicine.

She looked over my bare body. She realized that she saw the half white body I still had, even though I possess no power of any Ten Tails’ Jinchuriki. She looked over to me while raising her face mask. “Okay, now this general anesthesia and this regional one, normally it would just have one amount to weaken the stiffness of your body, to put it in simpler terms. But judging on how powerful your nervous system even is, this drug is amplified to five times.” 

Jesus Christ, if that’s how much it takes to probably knock out Jessica Jones’ mother out cold.. “Whew.”

“So, it’ll also be enough to give you time to rest and allow the new pair of eyes to.. get to know the new house they’re in. Plus with the information of transplanting these Mangekyo into another Mangekyo user you gave me, it’ll make it easy for me to perform this entire thing. Not easy enough to use with Medical Ninjusu though.”

“It’s Ninjutsu. Also, if I had learned Medical Ninjutsu basics, I wouldn’t have probably asked for your help.”

“Promptly meaning that your end of the bargain won’t even happen.” I nodded. “Well, let’s begin!” She said, preparing the oxygen mask as she injected first the general one, from which I felt.. then I blacked.. holy..

Adam Kovic... Rahul Koh..li.. fu..ck.




3 hours later..


I tried opening my eyes, only something made it stop. My senses came back to me.. taste, touch, hearing, and smell regained. I raised my hand weakly, my energy was slowly recovering. I touched my face, my forehead until to my eyes was covered with head wrap. The linen meeting my hand. I groaned. I tried sitting up, reaching only a minimum. I must’ve startled Gem, because I heard panicked hoofsteps in the other room. I continued to sit up, until I did. I sensed her coming my way, calling out my name.

“Obito!” I felt her presence stop before me. I reached the back of my head, feeling the other end of the bandage. “N-no, stop.” She pulled my hand away using her magic. “You still need to rest, you should’ve woke up at 7.”

I scoffed. “I won’t let a surgery stop me.” I felt my Chakra rise up, before some of it started losing control. I gritted my teeth, I tried to contain it but it was naturally overpowering my will. I felt a small aura surround me, I pushed my force, stopping the flow of Chakra before finally it calmed. Gem’s presence stepped back a bit, I slowly took off the head wrap, finally my sight is back. This time, I felt a more powerful sensation coming through me. I realized that I was surrounded by a blue light.

Shit, my Susano’o almost raged out. Heh, that power, haven’t used that in a while. The blue aura calmed, before finally disappearing. I looked to where Gem was, a bit terrified.. okay, maybe terrified. 

“It’s okay.” I felt her calm down. She let out a sigh of relief, before coming closer to where I was. “I guess I should’ve warned you, if you were to do this, you’d be a criminal.”

Her face then had a scared expression right after I said that. “Why didn’t you say that earlier?!”

“I forgot?” I said with a sheepish face.

She outwardly groaned. “I would’ve actually stopped you there! Faust, oh God.. I don’t wanna live a life of crime.. I mean, there was Garrison and all, but that’s.. Oh God.. another reason why I didn’t want to join him.” 

I just smiled. I felt her emotion, very terrified.

“And now you?! Oh God, I’m so not ready for this! Y-you! Get out!” She yelled at me.

I laughed. She lost her control of emotions. “You know, you’re probably the only pony that’s genuine about not having to deal with injustice and outlaw.” I paused, looking at her angry yet scared face was enough to convince me that I need her alive. I sighed, looking at her with sincerity and hope. “You know, after that eye transplant.. I’m willing to protect you from whatever they’ll throw. I promise.”

It took a moment for her to even speak with me. “How do I know you’re being true? To your.. word?”

She may have doubt, but what I’m saying is true. I need her alive, if I want to satisfy her then her safety would be needed. I also need her abilities, it will speed up half of the process of my plans. Yet, I have no reply for her. All I had was a trusting expression. I stayed silent, well, we both did.

“You know what? Buck it. If I wanna live without stress,” She used her magic to grab a chair, after setting it near me, she sat. “then I guess I’m in for a treat.”

“So.. you trust me?” She gave me a pensive look. “I’ll guess that it’s a yes.” We stayed silent again.

“If you’re not in for the ride, sure. I’ll set you up an identity and a safe place.” She looked at me, confused. “I know you won’t be comfortable, and I told you in exchange for my eyes. I’ll get rid of any problem.”

“You didn’t say any of that—“

“Uh uh uh.” I interjected. I knew myself that she won’t be a 100% cooperative, it’s fine. I’d rather do this with less disturbances. “I’ll still get rid of those woonies, then after that, you can decide how you wanna play your life.. I’ll tell ya, if you don’t want this, you won’t see me again.”

She looked conflicted. I don’t know how I got to her, but she’s deciding like I’m her friend leaving the city. Again, another moment’s pause. I still looked at her, with a complacent expression.

It wasn’t after minutes that she finally responded with a sigh. “Okay, I’ll work with you.”

“Huh, you sure? You can’t turn your back on this afterwards.”

“I’m positive.”

“True?”

“Not false.”

“Alrighty.” She looked at me conifidently. “You have a mirror?”



“Here.” I sat on a couch, while she handed me a small mirror. I looked at it while I flashed my Eternal Mangekyo. It worked. Just as I expected, a mix of Shisui and Obito—my Mangekyo. I’m guessing I’ve handled the Genjutsu part of it. “So, you wanted to ask me something?”

“Yeah I did.” I laid down the mirror. “What’s your life story?”

She took it surprisingly curious. “What, why’re you asking that?”

“Is it wrong to ask?” She shook her head with a smile.

“I lived on a farm on a village. We were just outside a city. My mother was a working farmer while I.. never met my dad.”

“Sorry to hear that.”

“It’s okay, I’ve never met him. But I’ve heard stories of him, says he was a true warrior that served Luna’s Night Watch. Anyway. Back on topic, I was a geeky type. I was born a unicorn from an earth pony mother and a pegasi father. Weird huh? Everyday I studied and studied, I got into biology and chemistry. My mother was a supportive one, but whenever I stray into farm or physical stuff, she stopped me with it. When I was 11, she recently keeps getting hurt and like that. Every night, after working a hard day, I had to patch her up.”

“So what made you get into eyes?”

“Shhh, questions after the story.” She replied as I nodded my head. “Anyway, nothing too interesting when I was 14 or so. 16 however, my mother died.”

“Sorry again.”

“Again, I’m through with that. I had to live to my stupid and overprotective uncle. It wasn’t really a downside when you also get a free awesome cousin. After graduating, I went to Ponimbia University.” I snickered at that pun. She didn’t care though. “I took medicine as my course, and went there for 6 years. Got my Baccalaureate’s degree in my 8th year. Specialized in eye care and became a popular Ophthalmologist.”

“After that, this here happened?”

“No, before you, a mysterious stallion kept approaching me for an eye transplant. After months, he told me he was Garrison of the Fort Mafia. Then after three years, he still kept irritating me.”

“Why didn’t you report him?”

“I got no dirt on him, nopony does. And if they do.. you know what happens. Even the council didn’t gave a damn about Garrison’s holding of an entire city for a decade.” My eyes shot open in shock.

“That long. Nopony ever can’t get to him. He’s that powerful. So after that meeting in that restaurant last night, here you are.”

“Question, why was your mother forcing you to avoid those physical, hard hitting stuff?” I asked.

She paused briefly. “You may think that she’s an asshole, but she’s loving me in that matter. I’ve learned that she doesn’t want to end up like my father, a strategist for the army. With my IQ high, she’s scared that I may become a war medic. Well, that wasn’t my intention. And I’ve learned that thought after she died.”

“Wow, here I thought your success was because of abuse.”

“Well, that did come from my uncle.” I laughed, while she snickered.

After a moment’s worth of humor, I stopped. “So, Garrison. He has this city on his palm— I mean, hoof for an entire decade?”

She nodded. “Yeah.”

“Well, that streak is about to end.” I slammed my fist onto my hand.

“How?”

“Leave that to me.” I looked at her with a smile, before I stood from seat, still realizing that I was still in my shorts. “Now then, where’s my clothes?”

Gem’s Lab 3rd POV, 3:00 P.M


The lab door opened, revealing Garrison and a brown coated, snow silver maned, barreled cutie mark, buffy stallion, entered the room. The other guy is possibly a bodyguard. The other side of the door was noisy, the hospital had opened shop early seven o'clock. Once that happened, you’ll bet that you would hear a trail of noise coming from all directions.

The bodyguard closed the door behind him, Garrison trotted forward to only meet Gem Sights on the other side of the table, waiting patiently for her next appointment. Which was apparently Garrison.

Her expression was a contemplating one, her mind busy. So busy in fact that she hadn’t noticed Garrison enter the lab. Once he reached her sight though, reality bumped into her.

“Greetings doctor.” Garrison stated.

“No need to be snide.” Gem simply said, placing a stare on Garrison.

It was quiet before Garrison took a seat in front of the mare. “You know the drill, I come in for a request, most likely, my eye that’s been waiting for three years and--“

“-And blah blah blah, cut the shit Garrison.” She slammed her hoof onto the table.

Garrison still remained calm and started tsking. “You are lucky you are one of my contacts I come to, if it had not been such, I’d be letting my guard throw a punch at you.”

“What, you remarking now that you’re too pussy to punch me?”

“Huh, I’ll let that slide mare.” He grinned.

“Whatever you say, it won’t change a thing. And I keep telling you, what’s so important about irritating me for an eye transplant?!” She threw her forelegs into the air in a fit of anger. “Why can’t you go to another pony and annoy them for an eye transplant?!”

Garrison lost his smile. “You know.. ever since I showed you that eye I needed to swap, I never thought that you had any suspicion about it. You just didn’t want me to change it because you think I’m a criminal.” The stallion paused. “Now I’m thinking that you don’t want to transplant it because you thought it was the eye of Drakoknius!”

Gem gasped in shock. “As I thought..! For years! I contemplated in why you needed that eye so badly!”

“Well I’m telling you this now to give you all the more reason to transplant it!” He angrily exclaimed.

“What?! You think that’ll convince me to give you that eye?! You stupid idiot!”

“In return for such service,” His voice returned to a blank tone. “you will be sufficed with a good home, and a reasonable amount of bits. No tax needed for the place.”

“And you think I’ll do that and join your failing wagon?”

“Yes! Because we need your abilities! You would be helpful for a such a cause of ours, and that reward is enticing enough that anypony would do it!”

Gem stopped with her glare, she calmed her stiffened forelegs, and rested herself back on her chair. Those words sound familiar, or the same ones she just heard a while ago from somepo-no.. somebody else. She returned her eyes to him and blurted, “And if I disagree once more?”

Garrison immediately responded. “Then we’ll come back, again and again.”

As Gem exactly thought. “You know, this friend also told me those same words. ‘I need your help, your abilities would prove useful to our mission’.” Garrison hummed negatively. “But unlike you, he told me that if I wasn’t up for the job, he would give me a new place to stay, and a new identity. He knew I wasn’t all for the job, he knew that my cooperation wouldn’t be a hundred percent present, he didn’t force me!”

Garrison still looked firm, but behind that face he felt like a nerve has been hit.

“That’s why I t—“ She stopped immediately. “That’s why I considered his plan, before I went with it.” Her hooves were shaking at this point. “Now you, you’re just begging at this point. Get out of my lab.” As she said that, Garrison stood from the chair while his bodyguard opened the door and gestured for him to go first.

The mob boss stopped in his tracks and turned to face her. “This. isn’t. over!” He sneered with venom in his voice, as he continued his way out of the lab with his bodyguard following behind, closing the door.

As the two ponies were out, Gem exhaled a heavy sigh. He was dead-on stressed, and now she knew why Garrison wanted that eye.

“Goddamnit.”

“You should learn to be aware of your surroundings.” Gem shrieked in shock, and saw a masked man standing across from the room.

“Celestia’s Sun, I thought you were out hunting his men!” She exclaimed.

“I had to get to know him first. By eavesdropping on your appointment.” Obito started walking to her desk, as Gem had sighed.

“I was a bit suspicious, as to why he wanted that eye. Now I know.” She muttered to herself.

“Mind filling me in?” Obito asked, placing himself on Gem’s desk. To be honest, he didn’t know how deep the legends of this world are, and not every book can answer his questions back then. Hell, that war he had 3000 years ago had destroyed some very useful archives and libraries.

“Drakoknius’ eye, it was a myth created by some.. wackadoodle that had ‘supposedly’ encountered him in the wild.” Her hooves bent a little, gesturing a quotation mark. “He was big and ugly, he was ‘evil incarnate’ and had no love for this world.”

“So, what happened to that author?”

“...He was busy traveling in the Forest of Spirits, located somewhere in the next country. He saw some bright stuff in the dark, checked out what it was and saw an ethereal image of a big blue demon. It was talking some language, but the pony didn’t see who he was talking to. Then the demon pulled out a round stone, and gave it to.. something.”

She paused. Obito waited for moments for another explanation. “Aaaand?”

Gem snapped back to her reality. “Oh sorry! Anyway.. he didn’t see the thing that used the stone, but saw what it did. The pony saw a green light suddenly emit, he tried to sneak up on it, but when he was about to see the thing that used the stone, the light was gone and so did the creature. All that remained was a white eye that was left in the dirt.”

“Ew.” Obito remarked.

“I know right? Back on where we were.. did I mention that the pony had lost his left eye?” Obito shook his head. “Well, he did. And used that white eye as a replacement. What he saw with it.. well, the thing I read it on just said ‘unspeakable nightmares of power’. The pony’s consciousness was being overtaken by the eye, but the pony had a strong will and pried it off immediately.” Gem stopped.

“The pony had to find a place to seal it away, somewhere in the next country. And after that, the eye had gone missing for eons. Before Garrison had managed to get his hooves on it!” She pounded her hoof onto her other one.

“My my.. someone’s angry.” Obito commented, before getting off the table and started to sit on the chair on the other side of Gem. Silence reigned over the two before Obito broke it. “Why are you so willing to help me?” 

Gem retracted a bit from that question alone. Her right brow furrowed.

Obito elaborated a bit more. “Ever since I told you that I was an alien in this—“

“Ancient! Alien.” Gem corrected.

“Right, you.. y-you were really cooperative and friendly. Why so?” Obito started to take off his mask and place his feet on the table.

Gem contemplated. Why? She was now asking herself that question, what reason made her help Obito get a new eye? She answered, “I trust my gut. I have a feeling that I could trust something of you.”

“Pfft.” 

“Whaaaat? You wanted an answer!” Obito weakly laughed.

“Lady, those feelings will get you killed. One way or another.” Now Gem had to share the laugh. The laughter died when Obito started to get quiet again.

The Shinobi spoke, “Got any friends, Gem?”

“..F-friends? Wh-..what are those?” She said with sarcasm.

“Those things where God sends to you, so you won’t feel bad for yourself.” Obito replied, as Gem weakly laughed once more. “Seriously, got any—..who are your friends Gem? And don’t tell me that they’re some imagination of yours.”

Gem scoffed before answering. “They’re like.. four.”

The silence reigned again, Obito breaking it after a moment. “Well, mind telling me who they are?”

Gem replied. “Well, to start off, I’m friends with a cop. Good cop actually, heck, might even be the only good cop in his precinct. His name’s Golly Mahoney.” Obito snickered. “You might think that name is silly, but he’s an asshole when you push him at the wrong time. But aside from that, he’s usually nice.”

“The next pony I’m friends with is Truthseeker Page.” Obito felt a little hiccup in his laughter. “She wants to be called Truth Page, but, that’s her. She’s a great journalist, taking up the previous legendary reporter’s mantle in this city ever since. She’s stubborn, I’ll tell you that. She won’t stop until she HAS the truth, no matter what it takes.”

Obito had a feeling in his stomach, but he wouldn’t push that question yet. “My last two pals are lawyers, well they’re separated.” He’s confirmed it, it’s official. Obito sighed and looked away from Gem, finding a bit of disappointment in this world.

“Let’s talk about the badass laywer first, his name is Fog Bear. You could assume from that name that he’d be wide. Well, consider that. He always says that he doesn’t believe in himself, but when he’s called to the stage, he kicks ass and makes a name.”

Obito interjected. “Let me guess, the last but not the least is a blind one?”

Gem was surprised. “How’d you know?” She furrowed her brow.

“Eh, lucky.”

“Well,” She coughed. “if we’re talking about the more badass lawyer on the stand, you should know his name first. Justice Blind.” Obito shook his head. “When I say more badass, I mean more badass. If Fog can’t handle his self-esteem, then Justice basically wins the case.”

Obito stocked all the things he learned, so Gem’s friends is practically the government. All they need now is a P.I., a radio talk show host, an ex-con, another cop, and boy billionaire. But kidding aside, the two laywers could prove to be useful. Killing Garrison won’t help him at all, both for himself and society. So how would he play this? He assumes that Garrison has bought ponies in the government to keep his tracks clean. Senators, cops, judges, lawyers and maybe even countless more. Gem has said that Garrison has this city in his hoof, and ever since he stepped hoof in Manehattan, the city looks very safe. But then again, never judge a book by his cover. There has to be at least a mole that has the knowledge to take down Garrison. Not everypony could be loyal to a mob boss. 

But before he finds his shark, he needs to know about some plans and reasons.

“Gem.” Obito spoke.

“Yeah?”

“Stay safe tonight.”

Then Obito warped away.




Docks, Pier 42, 3rd POV


Doctor Caballeron sighed. 

It’s been a boring two hours ever since he and his henchponies got to the meet point. Some cuck bidded for some pretty useless artifact—he just bidded 500 bits—and won. Caballeron asked for the meet point, said somewhere on the docks. Pier 33 to 42. He and his gang went to every location indicated on the pony’s message. They first waited patiently, but after seeing the tides change and the buoys move, the group got bored.

The night sky darkened the area, but nothing that the moonlight can’t bright up. They were trotting around the corner of crates. Seriously, they were surrounded by shipping crates. Towers reigned over the five, creating walkways around them.

“Wither, what time is it?” The grey pony heard the Sponyish accent, and responded.

“9’o clock. Sir.”

Caballeron smacked his head. “Oh for Celestia’s sake! How long will that pony make us wait?!”

Kak. Kak.

“What was that?” Rogue alerted.

“Guys, where’s Pickpocket?” Wither asked, looking where said pony was standing recently. The group watched their backs, high on their guards. There was just some random sound then suddenly one of their guys disappear.

Then Rogue saw something move around the corner. “Biff,” The sand colored earth pony looked his way. “check that out.” He saw where he pointed. Nodding away, he trotted to that walkway. He checked the leading area, nothing. Behind him? Nothing too.

“All clear boss.” 

All of a sudden, he was tackled by a figure. Then they heard grunting and beating. Reacting normally, Rogue and Wither galloped to where Biff was while Caballeron watched. He posed a pensive expression, that changed when be saw Rogue launch from the walkway and Wither collapsing from the wall. Now he was afraid.

Caballeron looked around sharply, wary of any movement that might happen or he might see. Seeing nothing, he was a bit satisfied then scooted away from the scene. Slowly, he was about to make the next corner..

Until a hooded masked pony pin him to the wall, and yes it hurt.

“ACK!” Caballeron choked, struggling to take a look at his attacker. Whoever this guy is, he had a white coat. Strapped on his forelegs were chains. It jingled. He was going to inspect more until the pony forced his foreleg into him once more.

“Trying to find the buyer? Well you’re looking at him.” He spoke in a menacing voice. Caballeron calmed own a bit, thinking he was confronting Daring Do. The pony eased his powerful forelegs, allowing Caballeron to breath from the sudden tackle. The grey pony gathered his strength, after whoch he took a look on the pony’s mask. Just a yellow plate with some patterns with one hole on the right. It must be where his eye is.

“Hey, look at me.” Caballeron followed. “I’m gonna let you stand and talk. I ask, you answer. Try anything funny, I’ll make it funnier. Got me?” The pony immediately nodded.

The hooded figure let the archaeologist go from the wall, Caballeron stood firmly and regained his senses. After which, he angrily tried to swing a hoof to his head, only to get caught by the figure’s own hoof and folded it in a not normal position.

“GAHHH!!” He heard the bone crunch, afterward the pony let his hoof go. Caballeron tried to rest and calm the pain, it worked a little, but he still is feeling agony.

“If Daring Do herself has a hard time trying to fight with you, I’m deeply saddened.” Caballeron heard him. He replied by glaring at him. Then he saw a scary red eye in the hole with weird patterns, causing him to retract from his position. “I’m gonna ask questions, you answer. Where did you get the Eye of Drakoknius?”

Now that caught Caballeron’s attention. How did he know and why would he want to know? He thought of ignoring it and doing something forbidden, but doing anything aggressive wouldn’t help him anymore. So he answered instead.

“Somewhere... on the Land of Zebrica, on some temple in.. Desecrated Valley. Gotta admit.. it was very difficult. Had to strain through traps and seals.. some scary dungeon monsters too but, nothing compared to demons..”

Demons. Now that’s something Obito knew little about. He did kill some and there in the past for reasons attaining to certain situations, but he never paid mind to any other stuff he saw with them. Anyway, back on track.

“Who wanted to buy that eye?” Caballeron drew the line, if he says, he’s a dead pony.

“No.. if I say that, they’ll kill me and my ponies!” He shakily said, and prepared for the worst. But instead of expecting something painful, he saw the pony kneel to his level.

“I’m on a mission to take down Garrison once and for all. Who knows what he’ll do if that pony gets his hooves on the cursed eye.”

The doctor just laughed. He forced it mostly—it was aggravating—but he found it a bit amusing.

“Y-y.. you? Taking down that fat buck? Have you been living under a rock, because he’s been pulling this city’s strings for a decade.” The pony didn’t look surprised—well of course judging form the mask—but simply replied.

“He hasn’t met me. He’ll face the law and my justice.” Caballeron continued to laugh.

“Some pony in a black mantle, with chains for weapons?! Going to put down that fat pony once and for— pffft, BWAHAH!!” Now he found it funny.

“Unless you wanna die by his hoof, give me things I don’t know about him.” He answered, Caballeron ticked down his rude manner but he can’t stop himself from giggling in the slightest.

“Oh.. o-oh ok..” He calmed, gathering a breath. “So, I’m guessing you know that he has control of half the city’s government?”

The pony shrugged. “I was assuming that idea, but you just confirmed it for me.”

“Okay okay, with that level of power, any dirt or any evidence you have on that pony would be wiped off the slate. Hell, nopony can do anyting about it. Not even the councilponies or the mayor, and they know what he’s been doing all along. They can’t bring that chicken in without true evidence. They can’t pinpoint who are the moles even.”

The pony thought bullshit.

“But..” Caballeron heightened the suspense. “..these recent months, he’s getting sloppier than the Calada Era. Leaving a trail of bodies, losing that wisdom and sweet talk he used to have, and used somepony wrong.” The pony felt his eyes widen. “That pony flopped an operation, because he was recently hired by Garrison himself to get rid of some.. setbacks. He did do it, but he played the story differently. Now he’s gone off the grid, nopony knows where he is right now. But we’ve heard rumors, that he was very well-informed of who’s who in Garrison’s chess board. He could get rid of Garrison’s streak once and for all, but that fat cracker is doing everything he can to get rid of him.”

“Give me a name.”

“...Garthur Hoofpony.” Caballeron steadily and slowly stood up. “Now if you’ll go excuse me, I’m going to—“

BAF!

Caballeron fell to the floor unconscious. While the pony retracted his hoof, looked at his still body before stating, “Be happy that the cops have you. Hopefully, a good cop.” Then left the scene.




Gem’s Lab 3rd POV, 10:23 P.M


Gem yawned, boy was she tired. Seriously, some appointings were really boring. Not just boring, lengthy. She struggled to listen to details she really doesn’t need. But really important to her job. Must’ve been like, 5, but really, it was like every complaint, except with different results.

Now she went over every file, reviewing them for the sake of keeping herself up. But sadly she can’t, she needed to stay on guard, or else some asshole is gonna be there. To scare or just threaten. Her eyelids were close to closing, she hadn’t slept that much, due to Obito’s surgery last night. Technically past midnight, but still, when it’s not sunny, it’s still nighty.

She settled her position and started to rest her head on the table. Muttering something and humming before huffing to sleep.

“....”

“....”

“Hey.”

“....”

“Hey, Gem.”

“...gh.. guhh..”

“Jesus Christ, wake up!” 

Gem jolted awake, seeing the unmasked Log Bog with a black robe standing across from her desk. She drooped her eyelids, but not enough to close her eyes. “Gosh Obito, I’m sleeping here.”

“Well, then I guess you’re not interested to hear what some cucks have to say?” Now she was awake, for a moment.

“H-huh?! What!? Tell me!” But Obito shook his head and gave her a smirk.

“That can wait, go get some sleep. We’ll discuss it first thing in the morning.

Gem persisted. “B-buh buh buh, buht we can..!”

“No, I’m serious. Get some rest, look at yourself, you won’t learn shit while you’re in that state.” Gem stopped for a moment to check herself, yeah, pretty tired. Her head was aching and needed some serious rest. “Jesus, the depth of your eyebags.” Gem sighed, and took her glasses off. “Get some rest.”

Those simple words made her resist to sleep, but her fatigue withstood her efforts, as she insisted herself to slumber. Obito watched the simple pony fall asleep on her table. He scoffed with a smile. Oh, poor pony.



Gem moved slightly, feeling something thick and warm covering her. She didn’t need to know, she already had something fluffy on her head. With that out of mind, she went back to her comfortable sleep.

I felt my ass resting on the chair, watching Gem sleeping on the couch made me more satisfied. I carried her to the couch and gave her some pillows and a blanket, for her sake and some workshit I need doing.


Obito 1st POV


I cleaned up her files and placed them somewhere else. Fuck it, that work could wait. I’m a bit tired from doing stuff. I just got back and already I’m doing some Daredevil shit? Okay Obito, calm yourself.

With nothing else to do, I looked back at Gem, still sleeping comfortably. I smiled before facing back on the desk. My body feels tense, I should’ve calmed my muscles back in that prison. But that idea didn’t give life when ‘Chelle visited me one time to talk. Face to face.

I yawned and stretched wide, I better do some cautionary jutsus first before I pass out. I weaved some handsigns, it didn’t feel like it worked, but I felt something change slightly. Now with my dreams invisible to Luna’s sight, I could sleep normally.

Oh boy, oh boy, was it a tiring second day.




Equestrian Border 3rd POV, 3000 years ago


Fire.

Just.. fire and smoke.

It raged heavily in this town.

And he didn’t feel sorry for the townsfolk.

Not with what she did.

No, she was afraid. Scared.

Unworthy of the crown.

Yet why does he still care for her?

The nearby cottage imploded, something blasted away. It landed heavily on a boulder, she didn’t get hurt however, the rock did. She coughed up and spat the blood from her mouth. She breathed heavily and shakily, nervous but also ready for anything he’ll throw at her.

She gazed into the burning cottage. The town was a scary sight, left to right houses are set aflame. Injured ponies avoiding the fight, some were sprawled on the floor, knocked out from the flying debris. Scorch marks and craters were on the road, so comes with debris.

Then white coated Alicorn gasped, looking into the fire, she saw the figure walking forward. Menacing as it was, she was on guard. Ready for any incoming attack that would be targeted at her. Then the figure emerged from the blaze, he wasn’t harmed in anyway, nor did his attire and weapons. But what was harmed was his living heart and soul.

All he had was a simple yet an incredibly scary glare.

His red and purple eyes returned to where the Princess of the Sun lay.

“You were afraid.” He simply stated.

“No, I was not.” She retorted bitterly.

“Then why were you intent to kill her?” It wasn’t much of a question, but more of a statement.

“I... I..” Was all Celestia could say.

“Sombra was right. Your fear would be your downfall. And when your sub.. no, she hears of this..” He started laughing menacingly. 

“SHUT UP!” Celestia thundered all of a sudden, before launching herself to where Obito was.

“Humph.” He gripped his Gunbai.




Canterlot Castle 3rd POV, 1:32 AM


Celestia blinked once more, returning to her reality and out of her thoughts. Having another flashback made her feel like shit, especially that she has to confront him once more. The skirmish on the cave was more of a tease, but when she faces him once more, Sage mode would bring him down.

But that can wait for two days. Right now, she had her head on her hoof and sighed in front of the stack of heavy work papers. She’s still handling some matters with Griffonstone, and they’re not that happy in the slightest. Then a knock on her door broke out of her trance, she stared at her door before receiving another knock.

“Princess? I have messages supposedly delivered to you!” The guardspony outside acknowledged. She let out another heavy sigh, realizing it was another problem for her stress to absorb.

“Please, come in.” She called out, the guard responded by twisting the knob and entering her quarters. The unicorn went through the door and closed it behind him. He continued to trot to Celestia, with the brown saddlebag on him, he dumped the contents on her table. Folders and envelopes. “Thank you.” The guard simply nodded to Celestia’s statement, then leaving her room shortly after.

She took the first folder she saw, and opened the file. It stated.. another issue with Garrison. Goddamnit. Everytime she sees this, it bugs her for the rest of the day. Even with her power, punishing the infamous pony responsible for Manehattan’s crime rate is impossible when he threatened some inside ponies in her ranks. Pinpointing those moles are difficult, and at anytime they could try and assassinate the Princesses in their sleep.

Try.

The Princesses—thanks to Obito’s training—can handle themselves. But the idea that they could kill anypony at their slumber is scary. One second they would find a dead maid in their room or worse, somepony of royalty dead in their castle. It could cause national misconception and or probably war with the other country. Just because this fat cuck can do anything as he pleases.

God she wished she could teleport to Garrison and kill him.

But she held those thoughts, and continued reading the report she received. Huh, looks like Garrison is getting sloppier. Bodies left behind and names being received. Locations and some weak goons they interrogated. Something about ‘Precious Cargo’ in Garrison’s hooves, huh, looks like she found something of interest. That special mission team better get back to that cargo in a few days.

She proceeded to read the following envelope, ripping it open, she unfolded the folded letter. She started to read, nothing that got her attention, some Council meet that’ll happen on.. 

“Wednesday?!” She exclaimed in shock. That’s the day where she’ll be in Manehattan, discreetly handling the threat that is Obito.

And this ain’t no usual Council court stuff, something involving the country’s safety. Being held at the Crystal Empire, seems that Cadence and Shining Armor’s capabilities is far too much for their own. And why wasn’t she alerted for the past month?

“Goddamnit.” Now she said aloud.

A knock on the door. Celestia's attention went up, she gazed on her door, waiting for another response. “Yes..?”

“Sister,” Luna’s voice came up. “May we speak with?” Celestia’s tension calmed by releasing a stressed sigh.

“Yes Luna, please come in.” She replied, instead of a door swinging open, her sister teleported in.

Celestia took that action a bit too baffling. “What was the point of knocking on the door if you were to just teleport in?” She asked.

“To ask for your consent of course. Why? Would you want me to surprise teleport here without warning? You know what happened last time.” Luna retorted.

“Fair point.. and please do not remind me of that.. awkward situation. I need my own privacy you know.” Celestia’s face got red.

“Hehe, sure thing then.” She took a look at her sister, busy, stressed, tensed, heavy. What’s keeping her up? “Sister, are you alright?”

Celestia shook a hoof away, “Yes Luna I am fine. Just..” She rubbed her aching forehead. “these sudden invites to something of utmost important, caught me off-guard.”

Luna raised her brow. “What? Why’re you so surprised to something that happens so.. usually?” She asked.

“I have something important that’s coming up on Wednesday. It’s sad to say that Court in the Crystal Empire would interrupt such plans.”

“Apologies to hear that.”

“It’s alright Sister, none of it is your fault.”

Luna coughed. “Anyway, I came here to ask of you what happened last night. We could not talk a while ago because of.. court and some important meetings but..” Celestia saw the hesitation on her eyes. “.. have you found anything about Obito yet?”

Celestia stopped herself from releasing a state of shock. Of course Luna would ask about Obito’s whereabouts, and she found where he was just last night. And she told herself to not get anypony involved, wanting to end it here and there. Especially Luna.

“N..n-no. I’m afraid not.” She lied.

“Hn, I see.” She went through with the lie. Celestia silently released a breath she held in. “Also!” Luna’s eyes realized something, grabbing her sister’s attention. “Have you spoken yet to Discord?”

Discord. Discord? Why would she ask hi— oh.. “Shit.” She mumbled. “No, not yet. He says he’s very busy, and I would not completely force him to come and talk.”

“Why? Because of that new ‘friendship’ you have with him?” Luna teased.[1] Celestia blushed. Realizing that Luna may have spied on their last ‘hangout’.

“Do not bring that up too, please..” Celestia pleaded, Luna finishing her teaser.

“Okay okay.” Luna’s mischievous grin faded. “If you haven’t talked to him about our situation, then I will do it.”

“Please go ahead, his assitance is vital.” Celestia stated, Luna nodding to her approval.

“Shall I do it now?” 

“It’s up to you. As long as you do it soon.”

“Very well.”

“So that’s it?” Celestia asked. “Just a simple talk?”

“Why? Were you expecting something more?”

The white alicorn felt her stomach grumble.

“How about some food?”




Gem’s Lab 1st POV, 7:38 A.M


“Ahh..” I moaned in satisfaction. That latte was good. I better ask Gem to join me in a cafe. Oh well, that can wait. I plopped the small cup on the table, as I went back to reviewing the data I got. So Garrison’s interested in the eye, though why would he use it for ‘mental degradation’?

No joke, that’s the only description I found out about the eye. The quote un-quote ‘unspeakable nightmares of power’ will just break the user’s mental health. Downgrading the level of intelligence of the user back to a child learning how to breath. There was a weird sentence that was written in ancient text, but my Rinnegan takes some time to decode the transcript.

The only part I learned from that text was, “Degrading power for one..” That’s it.

It’s a bit of a dead end. So maybe the text is the piece that’ll help me advance further.

But what about Garthur Hoofpony? Pfft, he’s just like Hoffman from Daredevil. I read some old news articles that he was knocked out in the same room with his almost-dead partner absorbing some poison. Rumor has it that he was intentionally going to kill his partner, but the fact that some evidence lead that the Masked Pony is the one who ‘killed’ Garthur’s partner, the press lead the poniest to believe it was the vigilante.

Yeah, Masked Pony. Or Masked Man from Daredevil season 1. Don’t even let me guess who’s the guy behind the bandana.

But the problem is Garthur’s whereabouts. Because I plan to help Justice Blind by leading him to Garthur. And I bet it all rolls from there.

I should probably visit my old pal soon, I’m gonna need to suck off on Garrison.

“U..Ubito?” I heard a yawning voice behind me. I turn to see Gem stretching her body.

“Who’s Ubito? ‘Cause I’m Obito.”

“Shhh-shut up.” She smiled at my attempt.

“Want some breakfast?” I asked her.

“Nhhh.. not after, we talk about Garrison..”

“I suggest doing breakfast, I mean at your state, you couldn't even comprehend what I’ll be saying next.” I pointed to her head. “Need that protein. Helps your brain.”

“Yeah yeah mom..”

“No seriously.” She sat on the couch. “You should really get some breakfast.” I told her, she seems to persist.

“Fffine..” She whined. “Where's my glasses?” I stood from my seat and handed her lenses with a frame. Immediately putting it on.

“Come on,” I formed a hand sign, turning into my pony form. “let’s get some grub.”
