Chapter 1 Strange misfortune, saving small ponies?

View Online

This is the story about a mercenary ronin that not only fights and uses his skills for money, but helps those in need and defend against powerful enemies. The story starts when saber was task to save the world, at first he thought he was being pranked but it wasn't a prank. The leader of the army was the one to take care of the problem but was beaten by just one man.

He gave the job to saber and told him he would pay him fully and get the blessing of his king so that saber can get even more money. Saber took the job for two important reason, number one Money! And the second reason was because he would rather live in a not ruined world.

First person

So here I am in the wood looking at two guards protecting the only enters of the tower. I looked at both of them, they looked forward at some point, then look either side and back to the front. I picked up a rock and silently moved around, I stopped to the right side of the forest, the only thing to worry about is the gaurd positioned to the right.

My plan was to climb up the tree next to me and moved back to the left. I picked up one more rock and was ready to in act my plan. First a distraction, I threw the first rock at a bunch of bushes and making the right sided guard to look forward.

When he did I climbed up the tree and made sure to make no noise, second plan repositioning. I jumped to branch after branch to be on the left side near the guard on the left, I saw the right guard look where I threw the rock in confusion then shake his head like he was seeing things.

"Idiot" I thought, plan three was even more distractions. I threw the last rock over their heads and at where I was on the right side of the forest. This made the right guard to quickly look right and for me to finally attack.

And Lastly "Assassination" I gently pulled Uingutaiga, my tachi out of her scabbard. She shined in the light that always impressed me, with the right guard distracted I jumped off the tree branch and descended on the left guard. I guess he saw my shadow because he looked right up but I was already upon him.

I stabbed uingutaiga through the man's chest and pass his armor easily. But this made us both fall, and because of his armor it made clanking nosies making the guard I distracted look to his left but I already knew that would happen.

The guard was able to pull his sword while turning but I was faster and was in front of him when he turned. I pierced his chest like the first guard, he lasted longer mostly because he wasn't knocked down for anything to quicken the man's death. He looked at me and I stared back, a honorable thing to do when killing your own kind, to stare back as both souls seem to pass on together. When his eyes faded he let his sword go, and I set him down next to his guard buddy. I stood back up as the sun moved pass the trees and her light engulfed me.

The light showed my appearance, as of know I'm 19 years old still a teen but almost an aduly, I wasn't tall or short about 6.3 in height with a muscle body I've trained myself in getting, I wore a traditional Japanese kimono that was black and white with the top having swirled patterns, my bottoms were completely black, over my kimono was a grey hood that was down. I would say I'm good looking with my black hair trimmed short on the front but styled from the back reaching just behind my neck, two turquoise eyes a weird eye color but I was born with it, and lastly a decoration I got from a fight with a demon. A three clawed slash mark on my left cheek, it wasn't a bad or ugly scare thanks to the neighboring villagers taking care of it so I pretty much look like a badass with a cool scar.

Uingutaiga's blade was silver like all swords, her handle was white with turquoise patches, and the collar was shaped like a shrunken with eight sides with another collar similar together, the scabbard was black with white lines crossing each other all over the scabbard and a black cloth with a turquoise shaped eyes was rapped around the scabbard. I placed her back inside the scabbard.

As I let the sun bath me in her light, the tower started to rumble and shake the ground around it catching me by surprise. When it stopped the single window at the top glowed blue. I didn't want to waste time if these guys are trying to end the world or conquer it. So I turn to the door and opened it "Taking on a job to save the world, I better get rewarded for this shit" I said before walking inside the tower.

Third person

Saber silently walked inside, and saw a bunch of armed soldiers in the center. He quickly dashed behind a piller so they could not see him. He looked around the place to see them talking and others lounging around. He could just run in sword raised and swinging, or try to find a way to get pass them and head up the tower.

"Hmm... naw" saber said, he clicked Uingutaiga out with his thumb and ran out of his hiding spot. Like a cheetah he slash one soldier using iaijutsu with one strike, then diagonally slash another across the chest, and stab the third in the stomach.

The first soldier didn't scream because saber slashed his neck open, but the other two screamed in pain attracting the rest of the soldiers. They pulled their weapons out and surrounded saber in a circular formation while he slides Uingutaiga inside the scabbard.

One of the soldiers yelled at saber "Put down the katana or we will kill you!" Saber didn't listen and placed his right hand on the handle and waited.

One of the soldiers didn't think taking in saber was a smart idea and attacked him. He thought right because from his sudden movement saber dashed and appeared behind the soldiers, and those he stood next to. Saber waved Uingutaiga off the blood on her as the soldier fell, and when he slide her back in a bright green horizontal line ran across the eight men and slashing them all.

The action as their fellow soldiers fell to the ground shocked them. Saber turned his head, his left eye looking at them all as their shock faces changed to fury and then yell out charging at him.

Saber clicked her again and thought "This is going to get bloody" right when they got close saber dashed again disappearing making them all stop, and that's when it began. One guard screamed in pain grabbing their attention only to see him on the floor dead, then two screams were heard they turned to see two dead soldiers know.

They chose to move apart and look around them, one soldier said to the one on his right "How many of us are there?"

The soldier said fearfully "F-forty two" a scream yelled out "Forty one"

The soldier that asked widen his eyes "Dear god!!!"

And so saber moved around only using iaijutsu appearing then disappearing killing one at a time. He slash most of them diagonally and other horizontally, blood fell to the ground with their dead bodies piling up. The number of soiders dropped down like flies as saber made quick work with them all.

Up top there was a room, and a light shining through the lock hole. Inside a large circular machine was active, electricity shot around it and glowed every second.

In the room were 5 people, the one working on the machine is igeor the one that created the machine with help and a powerful mage, second was Patheon he's a beastman panther assassin, third is Galen a human warrior and the one that faced the army alone and won, fourth is a high dark elf female named Aklara, and lastly is their master a human like Galen but far powerful, his name is Zayn Killian the leader and master of the rest and the one that thought up in creating the machine to turn the world's power into him and rule the lands in his own way.

Aklara said "Is the machine finished igeor?" She was inpatient that her master wasn't already ruling the world by now.

Igeor ignored her tone and said "I'm almost done. Don't distract me when working on my master piece, elf" at the end he spat at her race name.

She glared and was going to teach igeor something when Zayn stopped her "Enough! Time is on our side, let igeor do his job and wait"

She nodded without question and stood by his side. That's when they started to hear screaming below them.

Pantheon lowered his head and placed his ear on the ground to hear the screams clearly. He confirmed it and said "Our soldiers are being killed master"

Zayn closed his eyes and located his soldiers by using his ki and saw that each one was disappearing one at a time, that fascinated him.

Zayn opened his eyes "It seems we have a unwelcome guest" he turned to Galen "Guard the door and kill him when he comes up"

Galen smirked and walked to the door "Considerate done" he opened the door and stood guard on the other side.

Zayn thought "This person isn't normal, his Ki is much stronger than a regular person but hard to notice at first glance"

Pantheon came up to Zayn "Should I join him master" he bowed his head.

Zayn said "No, let Galen take care of it, and besides the transmutational portal is almost complete" pantheon nodded and moved back to his spot.

First person

These guys are just small frys that every evil mastermind would have. I killed all 49 people except one that stood in the middle, shaking in fear. I appeared behind him and stabbed him through the chest but not hitting any organs or vital spots.

I let him live so that I could get some information, I said "You still with me?" Asking if he didn't pass out from the pain.

He coughed up blood and spat some on the ground "I'll take that as a yes. I got some questions need answering and fast, why are you guys so far away from civilization"

The soldier breath in to relax his body, he grunted and tried saying "I rather die then-" but I stopped him by placing my left hand on his shoulder and shove Uingutaiga inches inside him, making him grunt in pain and freeze.

I said "I don't know if you haven't notice but I hold your life in my hands right know. So skip the brave act and tell me what I want"

"Ok, ok!" He said fearfully "Our master wanted us to be somewhere we won't get distracted or have someone interfere his plans"

I found that ironic "Well seems it didn't go as he planned, second question were is He?"

I can tell he was debating on giving me his location, so I help him think faster by putting more inches on Uingutaiga making him shout in pain.

"He's up top! At the highest point inside the tower. But you can't stop him, our master is far powerful then any man or creature in the world. And the watchmen he has by his side would never let you get close to him" he said but then coughed up more blood from his long sentence.

My eyes evened when he said how powerful his master is, and his suppose elite guards that protects him.

"I'll be the one to see if that's true or not, and lastly question three, and don't even try lying because if you do I will kill you and find out myself when I get up there. What's your master's evil plan?"

I knew he didn't want to tell me but he had no choice because I will kill him if he doesn't.

He sighed and said "Master wanted to take over the world but he couldn't face a whole kingdom with how little his army was. So he thought up a plan, no a machine that could make his dream come true" he coughed up blood so I ease my blade for him to not suffer to much "We were task to find parts all over the world and bring them to mage igeor so he could create the machine"

I raised one eyebrow and asked "And what does this machine do?"

"I don't know" I guess he notice that I would not take that kind of answer and said "Our master told us nothing what would his creation will do, but only what he needed and that he was making something that would change the world"

I stared at the back of his head for a few seconds, thinking that was it and said "Hmm alright, thanks" I smoothly pulled Uingutaiga out of his chest so he wouldn't scream to much in pain.

He fell to the ground as blood leaked out of his chest, but not a lot thanks to me not hitting any organs or vital spots. He look up at and said "Your not going to kill me, why!?"

I said honestly "You told me all I needed to now and that's it, also your not much of a threat how weak and injured you are" I started to walk to the door at the end that I thought would have the stairs I need to get to the top. I opened it and as I thought had stairs that go all the way to the top.

It was a long flight of stairs and would take to long to walk all the way up. So I used my ki, a turquoise color covered my feet and legs. Crouching down and with a jump I sky rocked to the top.

I landed on the top floor. There were pillers just like the ones at the bottom, and the place looked decorated but I was mostly focused on the man guarding the door.

He was a tall muscled man about 7.8 feet, almost reaching the top of the door, he had short rough brown hair and a beard, his eye color coconut, he wore a simple chest armor with long cloth pants, and black boots. From first glance he was human with a vertical scar on his right eye, and on his back was a large sword, it had no scabbard so people could just see the sword, the blade and handle was completely black it looked like the blade was made out of raw iron.

I instantly knew this was one of the watchmen the soldier was talking about, the guys screamed power just from looking at him. I walked forward and kept on walking towards him until he said "That will be far enough" I stopped a few distance from him, standing in the middle of the floor.

He said "State your business or I will have to send you out" he sounded cocky and arrogant kind of like me but in a asshole type of way.

I brushed back my hair and said "Sorry but I can't give away any information, all you need to know is that if you don't stop what your doing I'll have to kill you all" my threat went passed him because he started to chuckle, this mostly happens when my opponent doesn't know how strong I am or stupid, mostly both.

"Sorry kid" I glared at him for calling me a kid "The bosses dream is almost complete, and I can't let some stranger ruin it" he grabbed his sword and took it off his back.

He held the sword with both hands pointed at me. I placed my left hand on Uingutaiga, ready for when he attacks. He raised one eyebrow at me and said "If you wish to live longer your going to have to pull your sword out"

It was my turn to chuckle at him, he looked at me in confusion, I said "I don't need to. Striking first doesn't mean you'll get an advantage from the start, loser"

My insult hit a nerve on the guy, he gripped his sword harder and rushed me. He raised his sword and vertcaly swung it, I simply moved to the side dodging his sword as it hits the ground and crack the floor.

Like lighting I grabbed Uingutaiga's handle and swung for the guys face, he was able to pull his sword up and block my attack thanks to his sword being wide. I didn't stop there and attacked two more times he blocked the two and tried attacking but then a turquoise slash appeared and cut him on the shoulder surprising him and letting his guard down, giving me the chance to punch him in the face and push him back.

He held his ground but was still confused from what happened, he looked at his right shoulder seeing a slash mark that came from me but seeing that he blocked my two attacks and not seeing a third.

He looked at me and said "What was that? how did you hit me?" he didn't put his guard up even if I was able to hit him without him knowing how.

I crouched down and went into my iaijutsu stance and smirked at him "And why would I tell my enemy my moves huh, what are you stupid?"

I heard him growl in anger but controlled it and calmed down, he said "No matter, if I can kill half an army by myself killing just one boy would be child's play"

I huffed at his remark, how dare he compare me with cannon fodder. I glared at him taking this fight a little seriously "I'm far more dangerous then any army. You could even say" I dashed at him surprising him but he was able to attack and swung his sword for my head, I pulled Uingutaiga inches out only letting apart of her block his sword. I slid on the ground being under his full swing and behind him, I could have hit him but I let myself wait and when he turned with his sword I fully blocked it with Uingutaiga.

He seemed more carefully after I blocked his sword easily and got behind him, I finished my sentence when looking at him in the eyes "I'm the most dangerous creature on the planet" he clench his teeth and fought me in strength, he was strong but I faced stronger opponents and was able to hold my ground against him.

When his strength wasn't working he tried headbutting me, but I saw this coming and knocked his sword to the side, moved uingutaiga around, and knocking his head back by defending myself using the bottom of her handle. He stepped back but I didn't let up and went up to him, quickly drawed Uingutaiga and swung diagonally, he was fast enough to block it but the force I used was something else and pushed him away forcing him to grind his boots into the floor to slow himself down.

He got his bearings right and yelled out, he charged at me and swung his sword much smoother than before and faster but I still had him moving back while fighting all over the room. We clashed blades all over the room, I was mostly on him making the man move back and other times he tried being creative and swing from other directions making me dodge or parry his blows.

This lasted for a minute before we clashed blades one more time then move away from each other. He huffed looking out of breath while I was calm and didn't feel anything while fighting him, I said "You may be big and strong, but that seems to mean nothing against a samurai master"

He swung his sword destroying the wood around him, he said "Don't underestimate me boy! I haven't been using my full strength, you only faced the power I used to destroy that army" he held his sword pointed behind him on his side, his muscles bulged and a faint aura formed around him and mostly on his sword "Face my hidden power!" he swung his sword and a white ki blade flying at me.

I looked at the flying attack in boredom, I went back into my iaijutsu stance and with half my normal strength I swung and destroyed his ki attack. Slashing it in half, sending the two half's pass me and into the walls and destroying them. I looked and saw that he had the face of shock.

I grinned and sheath uingutaiga and was about to end this fight, I said "That's funny, I was holding back just like you" dashing towards him with his guard down I first kicked his chin making him look up, I jumped on his sword to rise higher in the air. I dropped down in a flip and sent uingutaiga at his head, he shook his head out of his dazed state and pulled his sword up blocking my attack, but didn't see the follow up. Too fast for him to comparand I placed my left hand on uingutaiga and moved my body side ways and pulled my right leg back, with force I kicked him in the faced sending him through the door he was guarding and dropping down to the floor with ease.

I sheath uingutaiga back in her scabbard and walked to the broken down door as the bright blue light blinded me for a little. As I did I sensed there were four more people inside, and in instinct I pulled uingutaiga out and slashed at something coming from my side. Whatever I tried hitting blocked my sword and tried stabbing me in the stomach, I grabbed its hand with my free hand and then we both kicked at each other both hitting each other legs, but I was faster in dropping my right leg and kicking him away with my left.

I fully went inside the door and saw four people inside. The one that tried attacking me was crouched with on one knee holding his chest that I kicked, and seeing it was actually a beastmen "No reason he attacked me so fast, didn't think they would have a beastmen with them"

I looked at the others, one was working on something wearing a robe and had a staff next to him, another was standing next to a tall man wearing women's clothing that I assume was female and not human but an elf, a dark elf at that "This group is becoming stranger and stranger" and lastly was the second human in the room besides the man lying on the ground hurt and dazed.

I looked at him all over and he spelled evil, long red hair that many humans would barley have, dark clothing and black coat, and a sword that radiated darkness. Put all that together and the creation of a mad villain is standing right in front of you.

I ignored the beastmen that stared at me while thinking "He's no demon, I would have instantly notice, he's human but with so much darkness inside him like a deep bottomless pit completely dark and endless, this guy could cause problems if not taken out fast"

The evil man looked at his watchmen in wonder, he said "Hmm, it seems I underestimated you. I surely thought that Galen could have taken you down easily"

The one named galen slowly got up and rubbed his face, wiping off the blood from his noise that I caused. The elf walked up to him and said in disappointment "Really galen, you defeated half an army and couldn't evil kill one man"

He fully got up and glared at the elf "Shut it aklara, I underestimated the bastard. He hide his power from me"

She signed "I never thought you would try using excuses, for shame" she said, wagging her finger at him and making him more angry.

"No" they turned to the beastmen "Galen is right this man is far stronger than you think" he rose back up while still keeping his eyes on me, he rubbed his chest "I barley saw his kick even with my eyes. And he anticipated my attacks while his sight was covered"

I placed my left hand on uingutaiga making the beastmen twirl his daggers "Seems like one of you is actually smart" my insult was mostly aimed for galen but looked like the elf didn't like my comment also "If your truly smarter you would drop your blades, cat" I said to the beastmen but he ignored me and stood ready.

The moment of silent's ended when their boss started to laugh, they looked at him so did I as he laugh and catch himself. He said "This is priceless. I truly would never think I would get the chance to meet you, here of all places"

They looked at him in confusion while I thought "So he's heard of me"

The elf said "Master Zayn, you know this man?" She pointed at me.

He shook his head "No, but I have heard of the rumors spread around the world" he rubbed his chin while speaking "A samurai warrior traveling around with no master, a ronin taking dangerous jobs not even brave and strong men would dare take, not only that but would help those in need, even give away his hard working money to help them"

They all looked at me except the mage that was still working. The guy soon finished with the name the people and creatures have been calling me over the years since I became a ronin samurai.

"The fanged swordmen, Saber Belmont" Galen and the beastman looked at me in surprise probable figuring out who I am from their master saying my nickname, the elf looked at me in interest not in a lustful way but more scientific that I believe was the right word, and the mage looked up from his work before going back to it.

I sighed and said "Good job you know who I am, good for you" I said sarcastically.

Galen looked uncertain and said "You can't be serious, this kid is the 'Fang'. The supposed guy that was seen as a wild beast then a human man. I don't believe this"

His master said "Well you should, you are the one to face him and lose ultimately in the end"

Galen sulked from what he said. That's when the machine started to make a noise and the whole tower shook from it, when it stopped we all looked to see it shooting out bolts around it and make a ringing sound.

The mage said after wiping his dirty face "The machine is finally ready and finished master Zayn"

He smiled at that, I could feel his dark energy rumble and flow from the news "Perfect, my plan will finally come true!" he looked over at me and smirked "But before I ascend to a higher being, I would like to fight in my form before it changes one last time"

He walked forward at my direction "And who better to face then the most dangerous creature in the world"

I changed my stance, mostly because this guy was much more dangerous than any of his watchmen. It was like facing another powerful demon but taking on a humans form. I took Uingutaiga off my sash around my waist and held her in my left hand, I moved my body to the right side forward and grabbed the handle with my right hand, and sticking my right leg forward and taking a crouching position.

My actions made the beastman growl at me like a real animal but his master said "Pantheon! Stay back, It is I that will face him" making the panther beastman stop growling and move away and stand next to Galen.

The elf said "Master are you sure you wish to fight this bug, pantheon and I can surely take care of him"

"No I wish to face him alone. His power and strength is unknown to many, and I can tell he has killed lots of beings over his years and mostly those that take the path of evil!" This guy was know sounding crazy.

The mage yelled out "Well make it quick master, the transmutation will be finished while you fight" transmutation? What the hell did they make.

"That only depends on if this fight will go for me or him" he unstrapped his sword on his waist, and pulled it out. The sword radiated evil when he unleashed it out of its scabbard, the blade was coated black with red markings on it. It oozed darkness literally.

"His sword is both beautiful and terrifying, never seen anything like it" I thought as he waved the sword around with one hand then point the blade at me, not taking on a stance like me.

He waved me over and said "Come beast, show me your strength!"

I glared at him, this guy was dangerous. If I fight him like I did with Galen it won't go anywhere. As I decided I coated my body in ki but only faintly. This surprised the watchmen as I didn't do anything or show signs of fatigue "He's no normal human, but I guess I could say the same for me as well"

My seriousness made Zayn smile "Good, this battle would mean nothing if we don't go at this seriously" he coated himself in his own ki, his ki color was blood red that didn't really surprise me. My job was to stop them or either kill them, Guess the leader goes first.

Third person

They stared at each other waiting for either one to make the first move. The watchmen moved away from the two, knowing that their master would not care if they get hurt if any of them intervene. Igeor made sure that the transmutational port was ready and have no mishaps of any kind.

The one to attack first was saber, it looked like he teleported close to Zayn but it was just his abnormal speed. The only ones to somewhat see him was pantheon and aklara that watched from a far. But Zayn saw saber clearly.

Saber slashed horizontally at zayn's chest but he blocked it, saber wasn't surprise that he was able to block his simple strike or even see where he was aiming, only showing just how skilled he is to saber.

Zayn said "Your fast, faster than a cheetah. But if That's the limit of your speed then you won't strike me down like that"

Saber didn't speak and let Uingutaiga do the talking. In a fast motion, saber sheath Uingutaiga and attacked again. Surprising Zayn from how fast he placed his sword back inside his scabbard and strike again. Zayn was put into the defensive as saber slashed in every direction and for him to block each one with one hand. Saber made him step back when a vertical slash almost hit him.

Watching as their master gets pushed back shocked them, they have never seen him move back or away from his opponent. Always standing his ground and killing the person in ease.

This kept on going until saber increase his attack speed that made it look like he didn't attack but a turquoise slash appearing catching Zayn by surprise, he blocked the slash but then having to fend off sabers "9-sword strike" saber finished the last strike in a wide swing and with more strength forcing Zayn far back, but keeping himself on the ground.

Saber sheath Uingutaiga just when Zayn stopped. He had his head down, he raised his head and had a smile on his face enjoying himself. Zayn said "You truly are strong, may be the strongest opponent I ever face. Tell me, what is the name of your sword?"

Saber wondered why he would ask that, but answered his question "Uingutaiga" he got back into his iaijutsu stance.

Zayn placed both hands on his sword and lowered it down "Ah... winged tiger, a majestic name indeed. The sword I hold was created just for me, his name is Daidai, because with this sword and my power we will change the fate of the world"

In a smooth and fast action zayn pulled his sword up and held it by his face, pointed straight at saber with both hands. He dash over to saber that clicked and pulled Uingutaiga out as Zayn swings diagonally and saber stopping his sword. When their sword connected it created a shockwave that shattered the wooden floor around them, the splitters flying around and aimed for the watchmen and igeor. Aklara blocking them with her wind magic blowing them away, and igeor created a magic shield protecting him.

Saber grunted as he fought Zayn in strength, his boots breaking the floor as he was pushed down by zayn's abnormal strength.

Zayn chuckled as he slowly over powered saber "It seems that we both hold two traits that outclass the rest. Your speed and my strength, total opposites"

Saber didn't think so and showed Zayn he was wrong by pushing him back until he wasn't close to falling to the ground.

Zayn praised sabers valor "Remarkable, a beast both surpassing a humans normal strength and speed, truly a monster that you are"

Saber huffed and said "I don't want to hear that from you, your covered in dark evil!" The two clashed and pushed each other way but this time Zayn was the was to attack first and with skill surpassing a knight. Zayn swung and trusted daidai at saber, this time it was him being pushed back but retaliating as the two took turns push one another back, dodging swings from either sword and blocking strikes.

This caused the floor and walls close to them to receive slash marks from when their swords clash, both attacking far stronger then any human or beastman. Aklara created a wall of wind that fended off their air slashes but putting lots of stress on her magical mana, the same for igeor as his shield cracked and almost breaking a few times as he mended and fix his shield.

Both saber and Zayn yelled and clashed their blades in the center blasting wind around as the two crossed blades. They both growled at each other as they moved back and meet back in the center, they both stopped and in high speeds they attacked each other. Saber sheathing and unsheathing Uingutaiga in lighting speed, and Zayn swinging daidai left and right at saber as the two fought.

This kept on going until they both swung their swords, saber placing his right hand on Uingutaiga's handle as it connects Zayn's daidai as his sword was aimed vertically. The two were back to their sword grinding on each other and their faces staring back at one another. But this time the aftershock knocked them back further then before forcing saber to shove Uingutaiga into the floor to slow himself down, and Zayn crashing his black boots in to the floor and grind to a halt.

As they stop saber was breathing out, not showing any signs of fatigue but tired from fending off zayn's swings in the center. Zayn on the other hand dusted his boots from wood that pricked into his boots, not tired at all from their non stop assaults.

When zayn was done he looked at saber seeing him breath out and relax his body "Don't tell me that your worried? Is it hard to realize I am far stronger than you"

Saber wiped off the sweat on his forehead and said "Your not the first person to face me far stronger then others. Heck most times I'm faced with uncertain odds put against me"

Zayn found it funny and said "And that's how life works. Nothing is easy no matter how powerful you are, but I will defy life it's self and surpass every being in the world"

Saber pulled Uingutaiga out of the floor and sheath her back inside his scabbard, he said "That's unless you live to get the chance"

Zayn said "Oh I'll live boy. And you won't get the chance to watch me do just that" Zayn raised daidai in the air and released his Ki, his body was covered in ki that glowed bright red stronger than before but still holding his true power back.

The sudden release of his Ki destroyed aklara's wind shield and igeor's magical shield. He put most of it into daidai as the sword shined red with his Ki covering it.

Saber was actually worried know, the power Zayn was using would be on par with a demons and a strong one at that "He's holding back so he doesn't destroy the whole tower, just enough to slice one part of the building and carve the trees and dirt outside" saber thought as he got ready for zayn"s attack.

Zayn said before attacking "Begone filth!!, Dark Crescent" And swung down sending a giant red vertical ki blade at saber, slicing through the wood and ceiling of the tower towards him.

Saber held his ground as the ki blade got closer "This is going to suck!!!" Saber thought as he unsheath Uingutaiga and strike at the ki blade in high speeds. As he connected saber was forced back but kept his ground, he was pushed every second putting almost all of his strength in blocking zayn's attack.

But no matter how much he tried with saber in his normal state he could not hold on without using his Ki, and he did just that.

Zayn had daidai by his side in his left hand as he watch saber struggle against his Ki slash, waiting for him to drop his guard and get sliced in half "Come know 'Fang' let yourself pass to the afterlife" he started to laugh.

But then he notice that his Ki blade stopped moving as saber was not being push back, Zayn said 'What!?" In surprise and unbelief.

Saber was able to stop the ki blade by covering himself in ki boosting his power, and Uingutaiga.

Saber yelled out, and slashed through the ki blade destroying it in one slash. Saber breath out tired from defending himself from the flying blade of death for too long.

Saber sheath Uingutaiga and debated on what he should do "I can't kill this guy unless I unleash my power, but that would include him doing the same and ending up having this remote place becoming a wasteland. I'm going to have to complete this the other way" saber said, he looked pass Zayn and at the machine "Bingo"

Zayn spoke, impressed by sabers power in ki control just like him "That was impressive 'Fang'. I used half of my power and you still went against me, but I believe we should end this, my destiny is calling"

Saber grinned that took Zayn back from the sudden shift in his Ki "To bad, because your going to have to call them back later!" Saber increased his Ki power that glowed bright just like Zayn's but different.

Zayn took a step back but raised his sword covering it in ki just like saber. Saber sent his own ki blade, yelling "Fang Killer!" making Zayn do the same again as the two ki base attacks hit and blow up, creating a dust fog.

This covered Zayn and his watchmen vision but saber was using his senses and pinpointed were the machine was. He opened his eyes and moved right and came out of the dust.

Zayn saw him and notice he wasn't going for him but the port, thus angered him but that changed to fear when saber channeled his Ki fast. Zayn tried sending another ki blade but was to late.

Saber sent another ki blade aimed at the port. Zayn yelled out "Igeor the port!" Igeor opened his eyes and widen when seeing sabers ki blade speeding to his creation. He was able to create a barrier that blocked the ki blade, igeor thought that he stopped it but saw that the ki blade was still active and that his barrier was beginning to crack.

Before he could do anything else, the ki blade broke pass his barrier and sliced the port in half, shocking the watchmen and Zayn as he watch his machine fall to two sides and blink on and off.

Zayn turned when he heard saber say "Your whole plan is know erased without your stupid machine, you red haired freak!"

Zayn was boiling in rage and was about to unleash in full power until the port turned back on shocking them all but then start swirling and suck in everything around them.

Everyone started to rise and get pulled towards the port. The first one to get taken was igeor because he was the closes and got sucked in, next was pantheon because his tail was inside the port and grabbed him, then both Galen and aklara with Galen imbedding his sword in the floor and aklara holding onto his armor but sucked in anyways.

This left Zayn and saber both trying to hold on but get dragged to the port. Zayn looked over at saber and said "Don't think this is over. I will live and when I do, I will find and kill you 'Fang' mark my words!!!" And as he finish daidai slipped out of the floor and he was sucked inside the port leaving saber last.

He looked at the port and at the only exit in the room "If I let go I'll be sucked in no questions ask" saber said and thought "Fuck it" pulled Uingutaiga out of the floor and flew at the port as it sucked him in like the rest. With them all taken the port started to suck in everything around it and it's self, taking in the tower, dead bodies that saber left behind.

When everything was gone the port faded out of existence and left behind a scotch mark. As we follow were the transporter was going, it stopped to a land nothing like the one before. And deep inside a dark forest the main character lay sleeping from the fatigue he got when getting sucked inside the port.

First person

I groaned, the first signs when I sleep later then I usually do. I moved left and right on my back, for some reason it felt strange to me but I let it think it was because I was tired. My mind started to remember what happened. Took a job; check, kill a lot of bad guys; check, fought a evil boss type guy; check, sliced a weird looking machine that turned back on and sucked me inside it, chec-.

My eyes widen fully and I got right up, sitting on my rump as I started to remember everything.

"Ok I battled that dark proudful jackass and knew the fight would take longer from us both being far stronger then most" I closed my eyes and thought what I did to end the fight and complete my mission.

I opened my eyes "Oh right! I tricked him and went for the machine, sliced the damn thing in two but it was still working? And started to suck us all inside" I thought that was it, the end of my life. Seems like I was wrong and instead of dying "Thank god" it seems I'm inside some forest"

I looked up and around seeing the trees and leafs cover the top, only bits of light coming through the branches. I guessed it was getting close to dark or about to be because the lights started to get faded.

I placed my hand on my cheek and thought "What to do?" My thinking came to a halt when I soon notice that my hand was missing something. I took my appendage off my cheek and looked at it, my eyes widen as I said "What the fuck!"

My hand wasn't a hand. Instead it was a solid fingerless appendage. It was stubby and had fur all over it.

"Wait a minute" my eyes evened out while thinking "That would mean!" I looked down at my body and notice I was smaller, I still had my cloths that seemed smaller to fit my size. I placed my stubby hands on the opening of my kimono but couldn't grab it because I had no fingers.

"Shit!" I said, while trying to move my cloths. I placed my appendage on the cloth while saying "Just grip dammit" and as I did the normal grip motion I did with my human hands worked. I widen my eyes as I pulled my right stub to the right and got a good look at my body. And if I had a word to say in this matter, it would be furry, very much furry.

With my new found ability to grip my cloths even if I don't have fingers, I was able to slide my kimono over my stub and look at my upper body. It was furry just as I thought, the color of my fur was light grey. I started to wonder what I was, I wasn't human but something else.

I looked at my stubs and started thinking what animal would have these. My knowledge came to one prospect and it was horses. I deduced that my appendages were actually hooves that all horses have but I felt much smaller then a normal horse so I suppose I'm a pony?

My head was starting to hurt from realising that I'm know a pony, my body shuddered from the thought. I probably turned into this because of the port. I then suspected that I won't be able to walk on two legs normally know that I'm a pony.

So I put it to the test. First I looked at my front legs and hind legs all four looking the same and each one balanced like the other. I then slowly pick up my hind legs and set them on the ground, then I rose them up, the whole prospect was weird but I had to try this if I wanted to get the hell out of this forest.

As I stood on four legs, and with mastery of balance I stood like a normal small pony. Next was walking, I thought up how horses walk, taking one hoof forward and then the next, and as I walk forward with one hoof I follow up with the opposite hind hoof.

With that in mind, I said "Alright let's do this" so I first placed my left hoof forward and pulled my hind right hoof up, I slowly placed the hoof down followed up by my hind hoof touching the ground after as I moved forward. I remembered the process and kept on pratacing in the field I was in.

It took me 20 minutes to get my walking down perfectly, turning my body took me 15 minutes and going backwards was another 20 minutes. Next was running, that took me longer because I had to do the first step but moving much faster, and turning my body while running wasn't that hard.

I notice that I moved faster then I was before, stopping then dashing to the right, I kept on going in a square formation. My skills as a samurai did not change even if I'm a pony, the real question is if I could still use my sword style in this form.

"Time to find out" I said, I grabbed Uingutaiga that was on the ground were I lay, picked her up in my left hoof. As I stood with only my right hoof keeping me up, I thought about all of the ways I fought on two legs when I was human, the memories of my battles and the feelings I went through help me register all of it into my mind.

Without me knowing my body took a hold of its self and I soon notice I was standing on my hind legs with no problems at all "This may be freaky, but kinda cool. With this I can fight just how I was when I was human" I smiled at my hard work paying off, never thinking I would have to learn and master my body, or remember so much just to fight and us my sword.

I placed Uingutaiga back on my sash. I looked around trying to figure out were I should go, the forest was somewhat dark with my eye sight. So I went with my gut and headed off to a random direction and hoped for the best that I may find a town or village "I might meet others just like me. This whole mess went from annoying to weird in a crazy twist"

I jumped and used my ki to stick my hooves onto a tree. Running up it and leaping on a branch, from there I jump to branch after branch in high speeds through the forest.

Third person

As saber travel through the forest, he remembered Zayn and his watchmen believing that if he's still alive then so are they.

Saber said "Great, not only am I not getting my money, and being sent to a world were I'm turned into a pony, but know having to be worried about a group of evil jerks somewhere In this world" he sighed thinking that things are not going well for him.

Saber thought "I wish something could distract me from this crap" and as he said that, a child like scream yelled out through the forest. Saber completely stopped on the branch he was on and instantly pinpointed the noise and leaped towards it "Well I did ask"

He kept on going to were he heard the child like screams. When he got there he landed silently on a branch above three small ponies, much smaller then him. Saber tried thinking what young horses were called "I think their called foals. The heck are they doing here?" His question was soon answered when three other creatures came out of the bushes.

Three tall bipedal dark grey dogs came out. Each one was close to the same height and wore ripped clothing. Saber notice they weren't the normal type of dogs because they had spikes on their tails, large arms and had stone weapons attached to wood like cavemen.

"Their like beastmen, but look dumber, uglier, and probably can't talk right" saber thought. He wanted to hear what their saying so he used his new found ears and listened in.

The middle diamond dog said "We finally find little ponies"

The right diamond dog said "What do know, kill pony?"

The middle dog slapped the right dog on the head making him whimper "No! Leader said find and bring" he pointed at the foals "We find, know bring"

The left dog nodded "That right" he looked at the middle dog "Go get them" he ordered making the middle dog growl at him.

"Why me do it?!" He barked.

The left dog said "Leader put you in charge, you do work!" He barked back. This soon started an argument with the two while the right dog watches and scratch his butt.

Saber looked at them in complete wonder from how stupid they were being "Wow, this is idiotic. Never in my life I would find anything dumber than a goblin"

Saber looked down at the foals that he was above, the way they sounded identified them as girls. He listen in on their scared reaction on how the dogs found them.

Down below sweetie bell was freaking out "Oh no, oh no, oh no!! What do we do know"

Scootaloo tried calming her down "Sweetie you need to breath, everything is going to be fine" she lied to calm sweetie bell but it didn't work because she saw through her words.

"Calm down!? Scoots we are going to get caught and brought back to ponyville, and chained like the rest. Twilight helped us escape but knows it in vain" she said as tears started to roll down her face.

Applebloom spoke with slight bravery "Well I ain't letting those vermin take me. Applejack and rainbow distracted them enough with twilight so we could slip pass, I won't let their actions be wasted" she was scared but didn't want to give up.

Scootaloo thought the same but said "Applebloom you can't be suggesting we fight them, well be destroyed!"

Sweetie agreed "She's right. If we fight them we'll not only get captured but beaten up!"

Applebloom didn't give up and said "I don't care, I rather fight back than give up. Applejack would do the same"

Saber was impressed by applebloom's determination. Not a lot of kids would fight back in circumstances like this. He smirked "Not bad kid, wish only more kids were like that" he whispered.

That's when the middle dog yelled out "Fine!" making saber and the filles look back at them as the two diamond dogs finish their argument.

The dog said "I get ponies, just don't tell leader!" He wined.

Saber guessed that the left dog would tell their boss something that would get the middle dog in trouble, and it worked.

Left dog grinned in victory "Good, know get ponies" he ordered somehow being the one in charge.

Middle dog growled but did as he was told and started to walk over to the fillies. Making them get scared as he walked over to them. Saber had enough of watching and got ready to reveal himself. He stood on his hind legs as the diamond dog got closer, and like applebloom said she got in front of sweetie and scootaloo in a protective stance.

The dog stopped and laughed at her, he pointed at applebloom "You think you can fight me, stupid pony you are weak, and small" he continued his advance as applebloom shook in fear.

Saber pulled Uingutaiga out slowly as the dog was in front of bloom making her move back and hug her friend.

The dog reached out to grab one of the girls "Come here little pony" he said darkly just as saber jumped off the branch and point his blade at the him. When he did saber whistled to grab his attention, it worked making him look up and say "Huh?" Just for him to widen his eyes and see a dark shadow followed by a sword aimed at him.

Saber plunged Uingutaiga into the dogs chest right through his heart as the two fell to the ground and startling the other two dogs, and making the fillies scream. The dog grunted and lifted his arm until saber twisted Uingutaiga making the dog freeze and give his last breath.

Saber rose on all fours, with his hoof gripping the sword. The forest was dead silent as the two diamond dogs, and crusaders stare at saber. With a clear look from the lights peaking pass the trees and leafs the girls found that saber was a pony like them. Some emotions bubbled inside them, like joy of being saved, fear from his sudden entrance, and confused by the clothing he wore.

While the diamond dogs looked at saber in surprise from not finding his scent, and slight fear from seeing him come out of the tree and kill their companion.

Saber looked up at the two dogs, Startling them from how dark his turquoise eyes looked in the dark. Never have they met a pony that felt dangerous to them besides the creatures in the everfree forest, and the the alicorn's that rule apart of equestria.

What saber did next shocked them all. He pushed himself up and stood on his hind legs, saber shoved Uingutaiga out of the dead dog and walked over the body. The dogs couldn't hear the sounds of his hind legs as he walked, It unnerved them both not hearing clopping noise all ponies make.

He stood in front of the fillies in a protective manner with his sword in his hoof. That's when saber spoke, his tone cold as ice, and burning with virosity "I don't know what you two are, but I won't let you harm these fillies. Not while i'm here"

They both gulped from sabers cold threating voice, fear took them but not completely. Soon their fear was covered in anger from a pony stopping them, killing one of their kind, and threatening them.

Left dog said "Damn pony! You pay for killing brethren!"

Right dog said "Yeah, we maul you to death!"

Saber raised one eyebrow from what the right dog said "Maul?" He shook his head as the diamond dogs don't get it, he looked at them like a predator "The ones that are going to get mauled are you" he glared, placed Uingutaiga back in her scabbard.

The fillies were confused by sabers action, applebloom thought "Why he put his sword away?" The dogs thought the same but took it as a chance to kill saber easily.

They both growled and ran towards saber with their weapons in their claws, left dog had a spear, and right dog a handed stone axe. They were getting closer, and saber didn't like that because they could go for the fillies and hurt them. He took one step before dashing up close to the two dogs.

His speed shocked everyone. They have never seen a pony walk on their hind hooves and move so fast, it seemed impossible. The fillies were speechless of the speed he used and know being up close to the dogs in seconds. Both dogs watch as saber clicked his sword out with his left hoof, and in a swift and fast movement their eyes could not see in the dim dark forest but only the light off of Uingutaiga, he slashed their weapons making them useless.

Time seemed to slow for the dogs as they watch their primitive weapons be sliced by saber. Left dogs spear tip was sliced off, and right dogs axe sliced in one strike. Time sped back to normal as saber ruled out the two dogs by sheathing Uingutaiga and raising his right hind hoof and kicking the left dog in the face, sending him away from his companion and far off close to the brush of the forest.

Right dog continued to fight by swinging his right claw at him but saber turned to faced him, slid his hind hoofs back to evade the dogs swing. He leaped at the dog and clocked him in the face with his right hoof. The dog almost fell back but kept himself standing as sabers blow stung and left a mark.

He felt dizzy by the hit bit shook it off, as he looked and fear took over his anger as saber was in front of him, his hoofs on his sword. Saber looked at the diamond dog with no pity inside his body, right dog could tell by the look in his eyes and even a beastly aura from him that all predators have. With no mercy saber slashed only twice, by the time he did right dog saw him sheathing his sword.

First came the painful feeling of being cut, then sweat pouring down his face, and his blood shooting out as two slash marks appeared on his chest close to his stomach. Right dog could tell that saber cut deep inside him without him knowing.

Saber finished him off by turning to his left then kicking right dog at the center of his body, not knowing if he would hit a bone area, and he did. Saber felt his hoof hit something and break it, right dog felt his ribs break in yell out in pain as blood reached to his mouth, and than knocked away by sabers kick.

Right dog lay on the ground as his blood pooled out faster from his broken ribs piercing an organ and die from sabers kick. Saber placed his hoof back on the ground still standing in his bipedal stance. The fillies watched, well except for sweetie that covered her eyes when the diamond dog saber fought screamed in pain. But scootaloo and applebloom kept on watching. As they watch saber fight, a pony that came out of nowhere and seemed different just by looking at him, fight the diamond dogs. They haven't seen his sword be pulled out with his teeth like most pony guards do. Whenever he placed his right hoof on his sword a flash of turquoise would show but not the sword itself, it boggled their minds at how the unknown pony could do that.

When saber finished off right dog, left dog came out of his dazed state that he was in when saber kicked the side of his head. Diamond dogs are tall and tough but with saber stand bipedal and hitting stronger than a earth pony he almost reached their height and was able to hit him with no problems.

Left dog grabbed his bruised head and felt something wet, he looked and widen his eyes, his claw was covered in blood. He could feel his blood fall on the side of his head were saber hit. He painfully got up and looked over at saber just to see his other diamond dog brethren lay on the forest ground and not moving, getting left dog to understand that he was dead.

He got startled when saber looked over at him, and to left dog it was like a large predator looking over at its other prey. His fear completely took hold of him like right dog but having a chance to run away.

Saber suspected that he would try running so in quick action saber looked at the sliced axe he cut and knocked it up with his hind hoof, he grabbed the axe in his hoof and threw it at left dog just as he pushed pass the bushes and run inside the forest. And the axe saber threw speed towards him. That's when a pain like whine was heard where left dog ran to and confirmed that saber hit his mark.

Saber let his hoofs fall to his side as all enemies were killed. He fell back on all fours and thought "That's taken cared of. Man, new world and the first thing I do is kill three tall dogs that tried harming pony foals" he looked over at the fillies, two of them trying to get their friend to open her eyes "Not the introduction I thought but whatever, I'll take what I can get" saber said then trotted over to the crusaders.

With the girls, applebloom and scootaloo tried getting sweetie to open her eyes as the diamond dogs were taken cared of by saber. Scootaloo said "Come on.... sweetie! You can open your eyes know, everything is fine" she wined as sweetie wouldn't budge surprising scootaloo from how strong she was when she's scared.

Sweetie said "No! I don't what to see anything gross and nasty" sweetie didn't want to see how the dogs were when saber fought them.

Applebloom sighed getting tried of trying to pry sweetie's hoofs away from her eyes "Sweetie! The stallion beat them varmins already theirs no reason for you to cover your eyes"

But then a calm, strong voice said "Well I wouldn't say that kid" this made the three fillies gasp from the voice that came out of nowhere. Scootaloo and applebloom turned and saw that saber was right next to them. They couldn't see his face thanks to the leaves on the tree they were near shadowing his face.

This startled them because once again they didn't hear him coming. Saber looked over at sweetie "Hey kid" making her jump, as she could tell he was talking to her.

Sweetie stuttered but said "Y-yes"

Saber said calmly and a bit if worry that the girls could tell "You can look, just don't stare at the bodies. Young minds like yours could get messed up, just focus on your friends or me, ok?" He said.

Sweetie gulped and slowly took her hoofs off her eyes and looked at both her friends as they smile at her. She looked up at saber as he grinned but unable to see it, and said "Just like that, theirs nothing to be afraid of" he stopped and thinked before looking around "Well except this forest. This place just spells spooky, like a haunted house but turned into a forest" saber joked.

This made sweetie giggle because the everfree did seem spooky as she thought. This made applebloom to also giggle and scootaloo to say "You totally got that right" finding what he said completely true.

Saber smiled that he was able to help calm their fears and worry. He went back to being serious and asked "What are you three doing here? I don't remember forests were homes for fillies, unless I didn't hear the memo" he slightly joked but wanted to know why they were chased by dogs into a forest.

The three girls looked at each other and then grouped up together whispering but not good enough, as saber heard them say "Can we trust him?" sweetie said, "He did save use" applebloom said, "He seems cool" scootaloo said last that saber found silly for someone to trust just because they were cool.

They finished and looked up at saber as they got to their hoofs, except for sweetie bell. Applebloom spoke first "First let's introduce our self's, I'm applebloom" she said in a farmer accent that saber notice.

"I'm sweetie bell" sweetie said cheerfully.

"And I'm scootaloo" scoots said matter of fact.

And then all together they said "And were the Cutie Mark Crusaders!!" Very loudly that saber cover his ears as they yelled.

Saber relaxed his ears from the girls sudden burst of noise, he said "Mind turning the volume down, geez I feel like you busted by eardrums." saber was joking but his ears were ringing.

The girls looked sheepish and said "Sorry" at the same time.

Saber raised his hoof and waved it, and said "Its ok, just tone it down. Don't want any predators coming here" they nodded understanding what saber meant.

Applebloom said in her normal tone of voice "What's your name mister?"

Saber was going to just say his normal name but notice that their names were different from the names back on his world "Crap, if I just say 'Saber' they'll get confused from how different and normal it is than theirs" he thought fast and placed his hoof on his cheek, thinking until he felt his incisors were still long and sharp.

"Huh? My teeth are still the same even if I'm know a pony" saber was born with longer incisors than a normal human would have, having fangs like a predator. That's when it hit him, the name he would use.

The girls waited and applebloom was going to say something when saber said "Sabertooth"

Applebloom said "Huh" not catching what saber said.

Saber said "My name is sabertooth, it's nice you meet you three" and as he said his fake pony name the light if the moon glowed over them and banished the shadow that covered his face. The girls widen their eyes when seeing his face. His features just like a stallion but toned around his chin and smooth at the same time. The scar on his right cheek was still there, boosting his cool meter in scootaloo's companion, his turquoise eyes seem to shine in the light that reminded applebloom of her sisters eyes, and sweetie was just trying to not burst from her blush from how good looking saber was.

Saber in the mean time was reading their expression's "Ok the orange one seems to be debating on something, red hair is comparing me with someone else for some reason, and the little marshmallow is know a red marshmallow" Saber didn't want to be inside the forest any longer, and neither did the fillies. So he said "So do you kids know the way to your village or homes?"

Applebloom was the one to answer him but what she said caught his attention "That's the thing, ponyville was attacked by diamond dogs right when everypony was heading to sleep. They rounded up everypony inside their homes"

Scootaloo said "Princess twilight with everyone else tried to fight back but those mutts had these crystal like weapons that weakened them"

Applebloom finished "Twilight said something about a nullife something that the crystals were made out of. They used them to beat and capture everypony in ponyville, we were given the chance to escape and tried heading to canterlot to inform the princesses but then they chased after use"

Sweetie pop between them and spoke in a excited cheerful manner "But then you showed up! Taking down those jerks and saving use like a brave knight~" she fluttered her eyelashes.

Saber nodded understanding that their home was invaded by diamond dogs and their friends and family are know captured. To him it was just another problem he's going take care of, just like the villages back on his world.

Saber decided and said "Then let's go save them, I'll help you girls save your friends and family"

The fillies widen their eyes in surprise that saber would instantly help save their home. Applebloom said "Ya really would help use?"

He nodded and said "Of course, I took an oath that I would help those in need. No matter who they are, only if they truly need it"

The fillies cheered that saber would help them, but then gasp as scootaloo said "Then what are we waiting for!" She turned to saber "We'll lead you there" she trotted forward with applebloom, sweetie was getting up until her left hind hoof felt numb and made her fall back on the ground on her rump.

Saber saw this and asked if she was ok. Sweetie said "My hoof, it's numb and it stings"

Saber thought "She must have put to much force on it without knowing" he quickly thought up any ways to help and decided he would carry her.

He lower himself, sweetie notice this and looked at saber "Hop on kid, I'll carry you there" she smiled as saber used one hoof to pull her up and place her on his back.

Sweetie felt comfortable from how warm and soft his kimono was, and the softness of his grey hood helped relax her body. Saber stood back in his normal height and trotted to the others as the two fillies lead him to ponyville.

As they walked, the girls asked him questions in the mean time. Applebloom said "Mister sabertooth, why were you inside the everfree forest? Were you lost?"

Saber thinked and said "Yes, I came here to train with no one to bother me. This forest seemed like the right place for it"

Scootaloo asked a question after "So are you a pony guard?"

Saber said "No, I'm a ronin" he didn't think they would know what that means but didn't want to lie to them"

They all said "Ronin?" Applebloom said "What's a ronin?"

Saber answered "A ronin is a samurai without a master, a person that travels around the world doing what they see fit to them"

They all said "Ohh..." Sweetie then said "Wow so you can travel all over equestria if you wanted, lucky!"

Saber chuckled "Yup, a life I chose and respected when I was just your age"

Scootaloo blinked then said "Wait, at our age? So you traveled around as a ronin when you were 8 years old?!" This shocked sweetie and applebloom too"

And surprisingly scootaloo hit the mark "Yes That's right, you got the age correct. I became a ronin when I was eight, and lived that life for eleven years"

Scootaloo's eyes sparkle, making saber wonder how she did that with big eyes like theirs "Wow! So like you've been around equestria just doing what you wanted to do" saber nodded and scootaloo screamed "That's so awesome!!"

Saber told scootaloo to keep her voice down, she sheeply nodded and said she would not get too excited.

Sweetie mention something that confused saber "Um mister saber" he cut her off saying "Just saber little marshmallow, What's up?" He asked.

Sweetie blushed slightly from sabers nickname of her, and she said "Isn't it hard to fly with this much clothing on you"

Saber kept his poker face on as he turned his head and looked at her, wondering what she was talking about "What do you mean?"

What she said surprised him "Your wings are smoothed out, I hope I'm not squashing them"

Saber with a mind that thought fast and sometimes calculated thought "Wings!! I have wings?" He tested this by trying to focus on his back and felt two appendages on his back "I do have wings!?"

Saber said to sweetie "Don't worry your not doing any harm, and to answer your question I use my wings when I mostly need them to fly pass placed that I can't trot pass" saber was going to test his wings the next day possibly.

Scootaloo came back with another question "So like have you fought any creatures or monsters on your journey!" She wanted to know what other badass things saber done.

He nodded "You got that right orange, I've faced many things in my life. Some that were easy, and others that were hard. Each battle becoming a reminder of who I am today. Making me stronger in each fight and leaving scares of the hardship I went through" sabers speech was interesting and captivating to the fillies.

Scoots pointed at his cheek, his three clawed slash mark "What did you fight to leave that?"

He stopped making the two girls stop also, he placed his right hoof on his cheek. The feeling of the mark brought back memories of fire and blood in his head. Saber said in a strong voice that froze the girls "A monster that I slayed a long time ago, killing it brought peace to the neighboring villages" he trotted pass the fillies "A battle that I would never forget"

Scootaloo and applebloom stared as saber trotted forward were they were going. Scootaloo whispered one word at that moment "Awesome!~" with her eyes wide open.

Applebloom shook out of her phase from the intensity saber gave off and said to scootaloo "Come on scoots let's get going" and ran to saber to continue leading him to ponyville, with scootaloo doing the same.

As the group kept on going they saw a light up ahead. Scootaloo said "There it is! Ponyville is right pass that" she was going to run to the light but saber stopped her by grabbing her tail.

"Woah there orange, if what you girls said is true then we're going to have to play this right" he let her go and looked over at sweetie "Do you think you can walk know?"

Sweetie touch her hind hoof finding it much better, she nodded to him "Good, get down and you three follow my lead we need to get close silently" she got off saber even if she didn't want to. This time saber took the lead as the girls follow him and creep up to the light, when they did they saw ponyville.

Saber look at the village in pity, the homes look terrible with windows broken and doors smashed but this was only the houses near the forest and the rest far over. He saw a tree for reasons unknown to him that was in the village and a cottage close to them that looked completely fine, telling saber that the diamond dogs haven't moved further out in the village.

Saber scanned the area seeing neither pony or dog, he looked over at the girls "Ok the area is clear let's go, and follow behind me. Ok?" They nodded and saber moved through the bushes and out in the open with the girls. They moved cautiously and hide behind one if the houses so saber could look around, once again he saw no one and asked either filly were they could be.

Applebloom said "They should be in the center of ponyville. Near the town hall"

He nodded and they continued to silently move to the center with the help of applebloom telling saber witch way to go. As they did saber soon heard the sounds of talking, he said "Stop" and held his hoof out halting applebloom.

Applebloom said "What, what is it?" Saber didn't pay her any mind so he could listen. The sound of someone talking was near.

Saber said "We're close. Stay silent and don't make any noise" he moved slowly and so did the fillies. They reach a food stand and saber looked over the corner, seeing the captive ponies and diamond dogs that surround them.

The fillies looked over also, sweetie gasp making saber to reach out and cover her mouth and place a hoof over his mouth telling her to stay silent, she nodded letting saber take his hoof off her mouth. He looked and saw that there were a hundred ponies all chained up, and 50 diamond dogs all holding stone weapons and some having crystal like spears that saber suggest were the nullified crystals the girls told him about.

He saw that a diamond dog was talking and looked different from the rest. He wore armor unlike the rest, and was slightly bigger than the other dogs. This was the leader of the diamond dogs and he was speaking to a purple furred unicorn pony. The fillies weren't close enough to hear them but saber was and listened in.

The diamond dog leader laughed at twilight, his goal in capturing a pony settlement completed. He said "Finally, Razor has taken pony home and will take everything. And to think ponies were strong" he insulted them all, but mostly looked at twilight.

She huffed at her chains and said "You won't get away from this! Once the princesses find out what's going on they'll come and put each and everyone of you in the dungeon" twilight wasn't scared, but was worried about her friends and everypony.

Razor laughed at twilight's bravado "That won't happen unless pony princess doesn't know. Razor will have all ponies taken and work for use as slaves" what he said made many ponies gasp and fear him.

Spike that was chained next to twilight said "That's what you think, but You'll see"

This time it was someone else speaking back "You big mutt, that Isn't going to happen" razor looked to rainbow dash that insulted him "Once the fillies reach her she'll come and kick your butts!"

A diamond dog soldier came up and pointed his crystal spear at rainbow, when the spear was close it blasted a beam at her. She grunted as her energy was being weakened.

Fluttershy that was next to her said to the diamond dog "Please stop! Your doing to much" she said fearful and scared as rainbow tried fighting it but feeling her strength get taken.

The dog stopped as rainbow's head went down and her body feeling weak. Applejack yelled at the diamond dog soldier "You no good varmins, once I get out of these chains I'm gonna buck your lights out!" She said but that only got her getting the same treatment as rainbow, and having to feel her body get weaker.

This time it was rarity asking the diamond dog to stop, and he did once applejack's head went down, rarity said "Will you both stop! Anymore and you might pass out from body failure, their spears take the magic that's inside use. Who knows what would happen if they take too more" she lectured the two mares, but was worried for their safety.

Razor moved around to rarity and said "That's easy pony, they die!" He yelled out making rarity flinch and shuffle away, the same with the pony citizens.

Pinkie pie looked at him in her normal cheerful self and said "Hey that's not very nice. If you let use go we can have a party so we can all be freinds!" Even being captured and threatened pinkie still acted as her usually self.

Razor acted as if he was thinking about it "Hm... let me think" he said with a fake thinking look, he dropped it and got in pinkies face, scaring her and yelled "I don't want to be your friend!!" Scaring the citizens from his loud voice, he pulled out his own crystal spear and pointed it at pinkie, taking her magic. He stopped as pinkies hair went straight down and over her eyes.

He went back to twilight "I don't want to be friends, razor think friendship is stupid! All razor needs is power and his kind" he mentioned his soldiers "Once scouts come back with little ponies, razor will make you all slaves and work forever!" Razor could taste the fear the ponies gave off, he whispered "And queen will take use back" twilight could barely hear him but was focus on her weakened Friends.

Back with saber he wasn't liking the outcome of the fates for the ponies, but fate can be change and that's what he's going to do. He looked down at the girls, his heart hurt seeing applebloom tear up from seeing her sister get treated poorly.

He moved them back behind the stand and said "You three wait here, don't come out understand. I'm going to take care of this"

Sweetie and scootaloo nodded, applebloom grabbed onto sabers kimono and said with tears in her eyes "Please save ma family mister saber" he could feel the sadness deep inside her and wanted it to fade away.

He petted her head and said "Don't worry red, I'll make this nightmare dissaper no questions asked" he got up on his hind legs and moved near the corner of the stand. He looked back at the fillies and said "I promise" then in their eyes saber vanish In thin air, they looked around to see were he was but didn't see him. They looked over the corner and only seeing the ponies and diamond dogs.

Saber was moving fast, so fast that his body couldn't be seen. He thought that a silent approach was the right choice in this situation, he'll first free the ponies and then cut down all 49 diamond dogs soldiers without them even knowing. And leave the diamond dog leader for last.

"Haven't used this move in a while, the only sword technique I have that would end this problem with no one getting hurt. Time to drop my presences" saber thought, and without them knowing went pass the diamond dog soldiers and to the captive ponies.

Rainbow dash felt weak and usless, her and the rest of the girls fought back and took down a few diamond dogs, but when they pulled out the nullifying spears it was over. She tried wiggling out of her chains but it didn't work, she tried breaking them but even if her body was too weak.

She mumbled in aggravation as nothing was work, fluttershy look at rainbow seeing her bite at her chains and sigh. Fluttershy said "Rainbow stop, you could really hurt yourself like that" rainbow didn't listen and bit her chains only for her teeth to hurt.

She yelled in anger, but stopped when one of the diamond dog soldier took a step, she silenced herself as the soldier moved back.

Rainbow seethed in anger "Ahh! This bucking sucks. We need to get out of these chains and give these idiots a thrashing" she whispered to the girls.

Rarity said "Well that won't be happening soon darling. With those spears neither I or twilight could take these chains off or grab a key"

"So what? we should just give up. Because I'm no quiter, I'll find a way out of these things sooner or later" rainbow said, while she wiggling her chains side to side.

Twilight sighed in annoyance "We're are not giving up rainbow dash, we just have to hope the fillies could get to canterlot or zecora so they could tell princess celestia what's happening"

Rainbow ignored her and kept on wiggling until she got tired, without her normal strength moving her hoofs felt hard to do. She looked up at the sky, wondering if she would be able fly again. But then she heard a noise, a sound she only heard when the pony guard in canterlot pull their sword out in battle and attack.

Rainbow widen her eyes when hearing it and looked around. She saw that the diamond dogs haven't moved from their spots and their weapons in their claws.

She looked all over getting the attention of fluttershy, she said "What's wrong rainbow?"

Rainbow said "Did you guys hear that?" While still looking around.

Applejack after adjusting her hat said "Nope, I didn't her anything. What did it sound like?"

Rainbow stopped and turned her head to applejack "It sounded like when the guards pull out their swords"

Twilight rubbed her temple and said "Rainbow, every diamond dog has either a axe or spear. None of them have a sword" she said factly.

Rainbow glared at twilight for not believing her "I know what I heard egghead, it was a sword"

Pinkie said "Its ok dashy I believe you, I hear sounds all the time each one more funnier than the last, heck I make my own sounds listen" pinkie breathed in and concentrated, her hair made a poofed noise, and went back being puffy surprising the ponies and diamond dogs that saw her.

Rainbow rolled her eyes at pinkie "Pinkie I'm not talking about weird sounds, but literal sounds"

Razor got tired of hearing them talk and yelled "Silence!" Shutting up rainbow before she could say anything else.

He was getting aggravated and annoyed that his scouts haven't returned. They should have reached the fillies and bring them back easily "What's taking them so long! Razor must get these ponies back before morning, and work in the mines"

But then a new voice spoke up "So you could enslave them all, That's pretty dark for ugly mutts like you"

Twilight pov

This is bad, if only we had the elements we could have bypass the nullifying crystals and beat razor and his diamond dogs. And know me and everypony are going to be slaves!

But that's when I heard it, the same for everypony else. A voice spoke out in the center between use and the diamond dogs. I looked up and my eyes widen when seeing a pony stallion appear from nowhere, holding a thin sword, and standing on his hind hoofs!

He looked relaxed like nothing bad was happening. But what I mostly looked at was his body that was covered by a kimono, only those far off in equestria would wear, and him standing on his hind legs "How is he doing that?, where did he come from!?, and how did he sneak pass use all!!?" I thought.

Razor snapped out of his surprised state and yelled "Corner him!" five diamond dogs went up and surrounded him with normal stone spears, what I don't get is that he didn't move away or fight back, he just stood still and looked at the spears in boredom, just like rainbow dash when ever I talk about my research.

Razor walked up near his soldiers that surround the stallion, he said "You, pony, how you get pass use!?" He asked him.

The stallion rubbed his neck and said "I just walked through" he said simple, his voice was strong but with a lazy tone. What he said didn't explain anything of how he got pass them.

I heard rarity say "Oh my! What a lovely set of clothing, the fabric looks smooth and the patterns matches his fur color very nicely" gushing over the stallions cloths.

Applejack berated her "Rarity would you please not go cooco over clothing at a time like this" rarity huffed and ignored her, looked over the stallions kimono.

Pinkie couldn't see because she was facing the wrong "Hey, I want to see, someone turn me!"

Rainbow said "Woah for once I'm actually going have to agree with rarity. His cloths look cool, but how did he get here? What do you think fluttershy?" She asked her.

Fluttershy only said "B-b-b-b" over and over, I looked at her and so did rainbow and the rest of the girls.

"What's wrong fluttershy?" I said in a worried tone.

She nodded her head towards the stallion "His sword, there's blood on it" she said in a whisper, but loud enough for use to hear her. We looked and like fluttershy said there was blood on his sword, dripping off and falling to the floor.

I thought "This makes no sense. Not only did he get pass the diamond dogs without anyone noticing, his sword has blood on it and none of the soldier seemed to be harmed" this was getting confusing by the second by just one stallion.

Razor notice the blood because he smelled it, he said "Why your sword have blood on it, speak now!" He yelled at him.

The stallion looked at his sword in bordemon and back at razor, he grinned sending shivers down my spine, everypony that possible watched the scene before them, and the diamond dogs that surrounded him, he said "You'll find out soon enough"

Razor growl at him, I could tell he was getting played by thus stallion but didn't know why. He said "No matter you can join the rest of your pony kind, chain him" he pointed at him, and one of the diamond dogs that surrounded him went up to him.

But then the stallion moved the hoof that held his sword stopping the soldier and making the rest move on him, he said "Hold on, I'm just putting my sword back in her scabbard" they relaxed when he said that.

He lifted his scabbard that was in his left hoof, and then slowly sheath the sword back in. But that was when I felt it, and everypony and diamond dogs. It was killer intent that only predators could create and it was coming from the stallion!?

His eyes evened on his blade as the moon's light reflected and showed a light across his turquoise eyes as they shined in the light.

Then he said out loud "One-sword style, Silent Hunt!" He clicked his sword back in its scabbard and that's when it happened. First mine and everyponies chains were sliced and freed use all, next every diamond dog except razor yelled out in pain as their chest were sliced open by an unknown force, and fell to the ground dead instantly.

Everypony each stood back up on their hoofs. Rainbow dash instantly flew up in the air once freed from her chains, while the girls group up with me.

Third person

As the group checked each other out, and everypony helping each other up off the ground, they turned back to the stallion. They looked at the diamond dogs in slight pity, the mares looked away. Not wanting to look at their dead bodies.

Razor looked around him in shock, his band of soldier all killed by saber. Not knowing how he did it, but knew one thing that the tide shifted to the ponies with the help of saber coming into play. He looked back as saber, as he placed his scabbard back on his sash, tightly secured. Saber looked at razor making the diamond dog freeze.

Saber said "So mutt, got any ways of getting out of this. Because I don't see any exit signs anywhere, do you?" Razor pulled out the crystal spear he had, the only thing he could us to save himself.

He pointed the spear at saber "You can't hurt me with your magic energy taken" the crystal fired the beam and hit saber. Razor grinned when the bean connect but then suddenly it started to fade, and break apart causing the crystal to break also.

The action shocked twilight that saw it happen. Razor stared at his last hope, he got startled when saber spoke "Nice try, but that would never work on me. So is this the part you bark at me non-stop like the dog you are"

Razor didn't give up and pulled out his stone axe, the weapon being bigger than his soldiers axes. He ran at saber with his axe raised, making saber smile at his dumb choice of action. The ponies watch as saber move to the side, dodging razors axe, grabbing his arm in his hoof and breaking the arm with the other hoof. They flinched and shy away when they heard razors arm snap.

He fell to the ground and shuffled on the ground in pain, he said "My arm, my arm!!" Out loud but was silence when saber walked up and stomped his right hind hoof on his chest making him cough.

Razor looked up at the eyes of saber that looked back at him, his large eyes looking dangerous to him. Saber said "Take care dog" he placed his right hoof on Uingutaiga, razor knew that his life was about to end "It wasn't nice meeting you"

But before saber could slay razor, twilight ran up and stopped him "No, stop!" Making saber halt in place and looked at twilight, able to see her clearly up close. Seeing her dark blue mane and pink and purple strip vertical lines on her mane, and the horn on top. He looked her in the eyes, and could tell that she was scared just like razor.

Saber said "Huh?" Asking why in a single word.

Twilight breath out to calm herself, she said "There's no reason for you to k-kill him" she shuddered when looking at the corpses of the soldier, then looking back at saber "He's beaten, their no reason to go further"

Twilight could tell that saber was thinking that she was crazy, and he was. He said "Your kidding right? This guy was going to make you, and everyo-pony else here into slaves. And you want him to be freed after what he did" saber spoke his complaints on twilight's choice on letting razor go.

Twilight said "Yes that's true, we could have been slaves if not for your help" she honestly said "But that doesn't mean we should solve this by killing him!" She yelled.

Saber pressed his hoof hard on razors chest, breaking a rib and making him scream in pain. Twilight jumped back, and saber got off the dog, sheathing uingutaiga, and stood on all fours still being taller than twilight as she notice.

"Ok miss, tell me how me not killing him here and know would help" he raised one eyebrow wanting to know.

She said "Letting him go would show that we are better than him, and establish a show of mercy" twilight proudly said. The girls soon came up behind her as they listen.

Saber blinked, listing to her and not understanding a damn thing she just said "And what happens when if he comes back?"

Twilight said "Huh?" Not knowing what saber was meaning.

Saber explained "You heard him, he said that taking this place was his goal. A goal he planned and did, but who says he won't come back with even more diamond dogs, or make up a plan In taking this place over again" saber based it off of many of the villains and evil creatures he killed and did just that when given the chance to get away and try again.

He watch twilight think up a way to save razor, her eyes widen and she trotted up to to the downed dog that was holding his chest with his not broken arm.

She asked him "Razor" getting his attention "If we let you go, would you not come back and attack use" saber felt like it was a dream, and hoped it was because he blinked twice as he watch twilight ask her enemy to not attack them.

Razor gulped and nodded his head, twilight smiled and used her magic to heal his arm and chest. Razor was stunned that she healed him. Twilight trotted back with a smile on her face that slightly annoyed saber but didn't say anything "See, know he won't come back and attack ponyville"

Spike said "Huh, that was easy"

Saber stare at her and spike like they were stupid, he looked over at the other ponies that watched them and seeing that they were agreeing with her, except a mare with a rainbow mane that looked like it was a bad idea.

"These ponies are crazy, letting someone that threaten them to slavery go free. Whatever they better hope this doesn't bite them on the ass" he thought.

Saber said "Fine" waving his hoof at razor "Get going mutt, you just got saved by the ones you captured. Lucky you" he saw twilight frown at him but he didn't care, he didn't like razor and could tell he didn't like him either even more.

Razor took that chance to rise up, grab a crystal spear off of one of his dead soldiers without any care and ran off.

The everypony sighed that the fiasco was over. The ponies were still uncomfortable with the bodies around them so twilight, with her magic coming back told mayor mayor that she would send them to the pony graveyard. She allowed her and twilight sent them all there.

Saber stared at were razor went to. He shrugged and thought about the fillies behind the stand and trotted over to it, but was stopped by twilight.

He turned to look at her and her friends, twilight said "Wait, you have to explain yourself"

Saber rolled his eyes at her, not caring that she saw him do it "That can wait" he said blowing twilight off completely as she glared at him.

"Hey! You three can come out know" he yelled. The fillies came out around the corner when hearing him, and ran to their families. Applejack, rarity, and rainboom picked their sisters up in joy.

Applejack said "Bloom, oh I'm so glad that ya safe" she nuzzled applebloom as big Mac, and granny smith come up and they all hug together.

Rarity check sweetie all over for any scratches or dirt on her and respectfully cleaned her with a handkerchief that she had for things like this.

"I'm so happy that your not hurt sweetie, just some dirt that can be clean up when we get home" she fixed sweeties mane, returning it more proper.

Rainbow asked if scootaloo was okay, she said "Of course I'm fine, nothing can stop me!"

Rainbow grinned and said "You got that right, mares like use could break pass anything!" They hoof-fived each other.

Applejack set applebloom down and said "But wait, weren't you and the girls suppose to head over to canterlot and inform the princess?"

Applebloom nodded but said "We were, but those diamond dogs that followed use cornered me, and the girls. If not for mister sabertooth then we would have been captured and brought back" the name she said made them look over at saber who was sitting down and watching ponyville citizens move about.

Saber heard her and said "Will you stop saying mister. I'm 19 years old, still young so calling me mister is meaningless" he pointed mostly tired of being called mister when he's not old but young.

Applebloom giggled, and so did the other two fillies "Sorry sabertooth" saber just shook his head, and went back to looking until he was interrupted by the fillies sisters, and the applebloom's grandma and brother.

Applejack said "Thanks partner, for saving ma sister"

Rarity said "indeed darling, like a knight in shining armor you not only saved use but my baby sister too"

Rainbow finished off, that made saber smile "And putting those jerks down. I don't know how you did it, but it was totally awesome! You mind telling me how you did it?"

Saber thought that these ponies were crazy, but they were nice that's for curtain. He said "Sure when every your not busy. I'll be happy to tell you, just don't let you mind explode from how incredible I am"

What he said made rainbow smile, and thought "I like this guys style" not ever meeting somepony with his personality that was like hers.

Granny smith looked over at saber, he notice this and asked if is something was wrong, she said "I speak for everypony that we thank ya for saving our flanks, but did you really have to kill them?" The group stayed silent as they waited for sabers answer.

Saber said "Sorry ma'am, but they didn't seem like the negotiating types" he said seriously that made their fur stand out.

Granny wasn't effected and said "Well you are right about that. Their just as dumb as the rocks they dig up inside their mines" this made saber chuckle from granny's thoughts on diamond dogs.

Twilight stepped up to saber and said "Well I have lots of questions for you. And I want answers!" She demanded.

Saber first said "Ok" making twilight smile, but then say "But tomorrow, I'm tired and so are them" he pointed at the citizens as they all looked sleepy.

Twilight groaned and said "Fine, tommarow"

Saber said "Cool, so is there an inn I can sleep at. Seeing as I'm new here"

Twilight said "We don't have a inn, but you could stay with me and spike. We have a extra room inside the library"

Saber thought it was weird that she lived in a livery, but let it slide "Alright bookworm, I'll gladly take you kind offer" twilight instantly thought that she just invited a sword wielding stallion in her home, that has the personality of rainbow.

She thought "Oh colt" but still let saber sleep in her home.

Soon everypony went back to their broken homes that they would fix tomorrow. The main six went to their homes, with saber waving goodnight to the fillies and trotted with twilight and spike to her home that was a tree that saber found interesting. He listen to twilight ramble until she showed him his room.

Twilight said good night and went upstairs to her and spikes room. Saber crawled onto the bed and let his eyes close so the sweet power of sleep to take him, and dozed off.

Soon everypony was inside sleeping, hoping that nothing else terrible would happen. In the everfree razor was plotting his plans while heading back to the cave mines. And far off in equestria a group was looking for a place to stay and plan out their thought, with one of them thinking about a person he wanted to kill. His eyes glowed red on the night, as they camp and wait for night to turn to day.

Chapter 2 Tired morning, Questions to no answers

View Online

It was another day for the town of ponyville. Ponies waking up trying to forget their predicament of yesterdays attack by diamond dogs. They went to doing their usual thing, enjoying the peaceful new day. Inside golden oaks library, twilight and spike have woken up. They got up and went down the stairs, before spike could go into the kitchen twilight said.

"Spike would you please go wake up our guest before making breakfast, we wouldn't want to eat without him" she yawned and went to checking her books.

Spike sighed but did as she asked. He climbed back up the stairs, and walked up to the second door. He knocked on the door "Um saber. It's time to wake up" he didn't get a reply.

Spike knocked again and heard nothing from inside. He opened the door, peaking in. He saw the bed, the covers all put together hiding someone within. He suspected saber was under the covers and still sleeping.

Opening the door fully, and walking inside the room, walking towards the bed. Spike looked over the blankets and poked saber "Uh, saber?" He poked again "It's morning, twilight wanted me to-" he was silence when the covers opened reveling two turquoise eyes glaring at him.

Spike froze completely when seeing them, eyes that looked liked a beasts. He heard a huff inside the covers "What do you want kid" saber said tirdly, he wasn't the morning type. He sleeps longer than normal in the day, and sometimes later on when he's bored.

Spike stuttered "T-twilight wanted me t-to wake you up" he took a step back when the covers shift.

Saber closed his covers "No, come back later" he said. Spike could hear his breathing possibly trying to go back to sleep.

Spike nodded and stepped backwards to the door "Ok, just be sure to come down. I need to make breakfast for twilight"

Spike turned to the door. When he did the covers shook and shake, he looked back only seeing the covers are know flat, spike was confused and looked all over the bed. Seeing no one at all, he walked back to the bed seeing that he wasn't crazy and that the bed was really empty.

But then he heard someone talk at the door "What are you doing? Come on I'm hungry" spike screamed in surprise.

He looked behind him, seeing saber at the door with his sword by his side, and waiting for him. Spike started thinking how saber got behind him when he was on the bed.

Spike pointed at him, and then the bed "How did you..."

Saber said "Don't worry about that. What you do need to worry about is breakfast" he turned and exit out the door "I'm starving" Spike shook his head and jogged out of the door also, and followed saber down stairs. Saber reached the bottom and trotted inside the kitchen where he saw twilight sitting near the table and writing something down. He moved pass her and sat at the other end, twilight heard him and looked up from her notes.

"Morning saber" she said cheerfully.

Saber was still tried but knew it would pass over time, he greeted back "Morning purple" twilight frowned at the name saber used.

"My name is twilight, can't you us my name like any other pony?" She berated him. Saber didn't much care because he was both tired and liked messing with twilight.

Saber grinned "I could, but I won't" twilight huffed and ignoring his reply. Spike walked in and started getting breakfast ready. The two ponies waited until spike finished and set their plates down in front of them. Saber looked at his plate wondered what was on it, a circular food of some kind, and a weirdly looking bread.

He didn't want to look weird so he took a bite out of the bread and found it tasted great "Huh not bad, kid knows how to cook" he ate his bread fast surprising the two others at the table.

Twilight looked worried and said "Wow saber, have you eaten anything before coming to ponyville" he swallowed his food before speaking.

He shook his head "No, I didn't have any food on me and was going to find some when those three fillies captured my attention yesterday" he somewhat said honestly, knowing he would look for food if he stayed in the forest longer.

Twilight smiled "I like to thank you for saving them, applejack and rarity would have been horrified if they gotten hurt, rainbow dash would probably hunt the diamond dogs down or something" saber was happy to save the three fillies, and he felt respect in a way at what her rainbow maned friend would have done, something he would also do without question.

"Know...." he heard twilight say. He saw that she was almost finished with her food while he was finishing up with his last circle food, saber didn't like how she spoke and knew she was going to ask him questions.

"I'd like to ask you questions about yourself and who you are" she said in a hopeful tone.

Saber thought "Fucken knew it" he finished eating his breakfast and said "Hmm.... I'll answer your questions" twilight clapped her hooves in joy, but saber wasn't finished.

"As long as that I can ask questions of my own, and not answer questions I wish not to answer" twilight seemed to deflate but accepted his proposal knowing that if she didn't, saber would not tell her anything at all.

Saber waved his hoof, signaling twilight to start first. Twilight nodded and looked down at her notebook "Ok... let's start simple. What's your full name and where do you come from?"

Saber could answer the first but thought what he should say for the second. He thought of something and hoped it will work "My full name is sabertooth, I came here before leaving my home in neiapone"

Twilight's eyes sparkled "Neiapone! Incredible, I never thought any pony from there would come here. Why did you leave, how was your travel getting here like" she asked him more questions that saber wasn't going to answer.

"Woah purple. That's more than one question, it's my turn to ask one" twilight closed her mouth and blushed embarrassingly.

She sheeply laughed "Sorry, got carried away. Please ask your question saber"

He nodded "Ok.... can you tell me about equestria. Like what are the creatures besides ponies and diamond dogs?" Saber asked that so he knew what was sentient and not in this world.

She gladly answered him "Well there are the griffons, dragons, and minotuars far away from any pony area's in equestria. If your speaking further beyond then there's the zebra's, saddle aribens, farther away in equestria"

Saber took in the information twilight gave him and nodded In understanding, she said "Are you a ronin saber?"

He said "Yes, since I was a colt"

Her eyes sparkled and then wrote something down on her notebook. Spike looked confused on what a ronin is.

"What's a ronin?" He asked.

Twilight answered "A ronin, spike is a samurai without a master. With no master they go around looking for one or move around aimlessly"

Spike looked confused "Aimlessly? So they get lost" twilight shook her head.

"No spike, I mean is that they go around doing whatever they want. Kinda like a traveler in a way" saber spoke after.

"That's right. I do some jobs to get hired and help out. I mostly do it to get money for food" he said truthfully. Spike understood and let the two continue.

"When I saved the fillies they told me they were going to inform a princess. Who is this princess celestia?" saber soon thought he shouldn't have said that because twilight looked at him in shock.

She had her hooves on her cheeks "How do you not know of celestia! Neiapone is far away but even they know of her, how do you not know?!" She demanded him to tell her.

Saber said "I.... left my home and family when I was young. They never told me about a princess of some sort, I moved around a lot going from place to place" he wasn't completely lying because he did leave his home at a young age.

Twilight started to breath in and out of a bag spike found and gave her, she stopped to reply "Well... I guess I understand. I would like to know why you left your family" saber glared at her implying he wasn't going to tell here any time soon, she flinched "B-but I think I'll just let that slide" she sheepishly laughed.

Saber thought "Got that right purple" he crossed his arms "Good, and seeing as you asked a question it's my turn" twilight realised he was right and pouted.

"I've been wondering about this from yesterday. Is everyone here foolishly kind like you?" He said, twilight looked surprised at the insult saber threw at her.

Twilight looked hurt and confused "What are you talking about? I'm kind but no way near foolish!" She indoors yelled, spike scooted away from them and soon left the kitchen.

Saber looked at her passively "I just want to know if everypony would let someone that tried to kill them be free, because I wish to know this before I waste my time helping them" saber was being serious, after yesterdays outcome and him saving the ponies from razor, he thought that this world was too peaceful.

Twilight blinked and connected the dots "Is this about me stopping you from killing razor" he nodded "I thought I told you already" she sighed.

Squatting his eyes saber said "No, you made an excuse for me to let him go. I just find it strange you thought it was smart to let him off"

Twilight started debating if saber was right for a second, but stuck to what she believed in "Showing one kindness and friendship can even change those ill hearted saber, your not from here but you must know that friendship is an important think around here"

Saber looked at twilight like she was crazy. Saber thought "Friendship?? What kind of horse shit is that. This place is weird, very weird" he rubbed his head and got off his seat, placing his plate in the sink saber walked out of the kitchen.

Twilight startled by sabers silence and leaving, she followed him "Hey!" She watched him head for the door "Where are you going, I still have more questions"

"To bad because I don't care" he said simply that made twilight frown. He opened the door but before he trotted out saber turned to twilight and said "Friendship may be important, but something like that can only do little in dangeroues situations like yesterday. You always have to remember, that there are percentages in outcomes" he looked away from twilight "50 percent chance is that razor will give up, or come back with more dogs by his side" saber walked out of the library leaving twilight to ponder on what he said.

Saber trotted away from the tree, he thought "Might as well look around this place seeing as I'm stay here" he looked at his back, feeling his wings under his kimono "And find a secluded spot to try these wings out"

Saber trotted through the main part of ponyville. He looked left and right seeing ponies living their lives normally like humans and other creatures back home. He was greeted by a few ponies that thanked him from saving their lives, while others just waved and kept a distance from him.

He didn't care what others think and continued on his walk. He saw a house made out of sweets and stopped to look at it. He's never seen a building like it, he debated on going inside but shook his head thinking he would check it out later.

Before he walked away, saber stopped sensing someone coming near him very fast. He jumped, right on time to dodge something pinkie that sailed under him. It dragged to a stop on the ground as saber landed on his hoofs, he didn't feel anything hostile about it so he didn't pull his sword out, and from what he saw predicted who it was.

The dust streak faded and showed pinkie pie. She hopped over to him with a pout on her face "Saby~ why did you move out of the way?"

He looked at her like she was mental "I dodge because I didn't wanted to get speared by a pinkie puff ball today" what he said made pinkie laugh.

"Oh silly. I wasn't trying to tackle you, I was trying to give you a welcome hug" she said cheerfully.

Saber thought "You could have fooled me" he wondered why she did all that for a hug, saber said "Why give me a welcome hug? You don't even know me but my name"

She giggled "Because saby, you came and saved everypony. And for that your friend pinkie pie is going to throw you a, welcome to ponyville party!!" She said excitedly.

Saber perked at the mention of a party "A party. Why throw me a party, I may have saved you all but throwing me a party seems much"

Pinkie shook her head "To much and parties don't mix with me. It's a theme here that new ponies get a welcome party in ponyville, trust me saby your going to love it"

Saber thought about it and guessed it wouldn't hurt "Sure, go ahead pinkie. Just make sure you have alcohol in the party" saber is a drinker ever since he drank his first sake.

Pinkie saluted "You can count on me, captain pinkie pie always get the party done and fun!" She giggled and skipped away "Bye saby, enjoy walking around ponyville!" She said before walking inside the bakery.

Saber rubbed his mane "Man... what a weird mare, but very cheerful and nice" he looked up at the clear blue sky "Hope this places isn't completely easy going" saber vanished, moving away fast and heading away from ponyville. Those that saw him leave widen their eyes and looked around, because to them it seemed like saber just vanished.

Saber ran across pony houses, fast moving through the town. He leap off one of the houses and landed meters away. Moving onwards he came upon a lone tree near a hill. It was a grass plain area with no pony around, a perfect spot to try and practice his new wings. Saber went up to the tree and set Uingutaiga on it, he took his kimono off not feeling naked seeing as the ponies don't wear cloths so why should he. Placing the kimono near his sword saber relaxed his body and focused on his wings.

Feeling his wings twitch and move with his actions, saber tried controlling his wing muscles. The result was a plus as his wings sprung open on his back. For some reason it felt natural but shouldn't because he never had wings. A thought came to his mind "I have wings just like her. When she wakes up, she's going to ask so many questions" he sighed, saber looked at uingutaiga knowing his future was going to get annoying.

Saber went back to working on his wings, he first got a good look at them. They were light grey just like his fur, but the tips on both wings were black. He flapped them noticing his wings felt powerful. Looking at them they both had the same length and width. Saber spread his hooves and opened his wings fully, rising them up he flapped once and was lifted into the air. He dropped back down to the ground because he stopped flapping, he was processing his movements and strength when moving his wings.

"Their strong most likely because of my body. One flap got me lifted up easily so I'll have to be careful in how much power I put into my wings" he started moving them both together, imagining how birds fly and move their wings at the same time.

Slowly picking up, saber was once again lifted off the ground as he picked up speed. He hovered in the air for a while until he started moving his body around by shifting his wings to where he wanted to go. His process was going smoothly even if it was his first time.

Saber was liking his wings already. His little training went past his mind as he messed around, flapping his wings as he moved around on the hill. He looked forward at the open air, a calling he's never experience before, but let it take hold of him. Dropping down, saber ran forward and as he got to the drop of the hill, he jumped and flapped his wings strongly, soaring into the air like a bird. It was like instincts took hold of him. He flew through the sky like any other peguses but he was much faster. He zoomed over the grassy plains as he was heading back to ponyville.

At the same time Rainbow dash just woken up, getting up on her cloud bed. Like every morning she got herself looking like her usual awesome self in her cloud bathroom, then heading into her kitchen making herself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with milk.

When she was done, rainbow put her plate and cup in the sink thinking she will clean them later when she gets back. Heading to her door, she opened it and took in the clean air and fresh wind of the day. Rainbow flapped her wings out of her house "Alright dash, time to woah!" She said as a grey streak of something flying pass her and almost messing up her flying pattern. She watched the streak fly fast through the air.

Rainbow has never seen something other than herself, or her idols the Wonderbolts move so fast. She wanted to know who it was and forgot whatever she was going to do and zoomed faster the pony. Rainbow dash was able to find the pony flying around the main part of ponyville stores. She went after it and followed it towards sugercube corner, she tried getting closer but the streak was really fast.

"Who the heck is this pony?!" She said to herself. She followed the pony to sweet Apple acres as the pony soared down to the ground, she watched in surprise as the pony crossed the trees on the ground still maintaining its flight speed. She followed the pony through the sky again, she flapped harder getting closer until for some reason, like the person she was following noticed her sped faster and keeping out of her reach.

Rainbow harden her eyes at the unknown peguses "I don't know who this pony is, but I'm not letting that person out fly me!" So she tried catching the pony so she could see who it was. Flying faster than before rainbow went in for a grab when the pony flew straight up surprising rainbow as she flew into a tree.

Pulling her face off the tree, and feeling a bit dizzy she flapped her wings away from the tree noticing it was twilight's. But then she heard someone laugh, turning and seeing the pony leave made her suspect it was the pony that she was chasing. Finding herself insulted and outplayed got rainbow serious "Oh no your not, get back here!" She rocket after the pony, chasing the grey and black streak in the sky heading away from ponyville.

Right when she left, a window opened showing spike looking around looking for who ever crashed into the tree. Shrugging his shoulders, spike closed the window and walked over to twilight that was on the couch.

"That was weird. I thought I heard rainbow dash outside the library?" He said, as he sat down next to twilight on the couch.

Twilight was lying on the couch on her side thinking about what saber said to her before leaving, the memeroy clear in her mind "Friendship may be important, but something like that can only do little in dangerous situations like yesterday" she turned her body looking up at the libraries sealing remember what he said after "50 percent chance is that razor will give up, or come back with more dogs by his side"

Twilight said to spike "Do you think sabers is right spike. From what happened yesterday do you think razor would attack ponyville again?"

Spike didn't know and said "I don't know twilight, saber could be right. This is the first time something like this happend to ponyville, but I think we should think about something else" he walked over to a beanbag, pulled out a comic book and started reading it.

Twilight thought about forgetting but couldn't from how serious saber was like. This was nothing like nightmare moon, or kicking the dragon out of the cave near ponyville, not even close to the time when trixe came and those colts brought a ursa minor to ponyville. Her and everypony was captured and was going to be taken if saber hadn't come and saved them.

"Maybe he is right. Why did razor attack ponyville? Diamond dogs aren't really smart but know it would be dumb to attack a town that would get them assaulted my canterlots guards if the princesses find out" She couldn't stop thinking about it.

Suddenly spike started to gag and throw up green fire revealing a letter. Twilight saw this and got off the couch, and went to spike that opened the letter. Reading the letter Spike's eyebrows rose. He stucked the letter towards twilight "Here you go twi" she took the letter in her magic and read it. Twilight's eyes widen at what she just read, she then started to act crazy.

"Celestia what's us to bring saber to canterlot!" She trotted in circles "But why? I told her what happened and said everything is fine" she gasped "Could it be because of saber, or what I did?!" Twilight wanted to know for herself, she pulled spike off of the beanbag with her magic and quickly brought her saddle bag before walking towards the door.

"Come on spike. We need to get everypony together so we can find saber and head to canterlot" she opened the door, placing spike, that still had his comic book on her back and headed out to get her friends together and find saber.

Back with rainbow dash, she was breathing out as she still followed the grey and black streak. She wasn't completely tired buy from how slippery the pony was being. Every time she got close, the pony would evade her and move pass or even burst forward leaving her behind before rainbow could flaps her wings to get close again.

"Man... this pony is quick" she smiled "Haven't flied like this in a while, feels like my training days back in flight school" with in her mind clouded she soon lost track of the pony. Stopping in midair rainbow looked around but couldn't find the grey streak.

She groaned in annoyance of her losing track of the pony "Oh man! Where did that pony go?" Unknown to her the pony was hiding inside a cloud right next to her. Shooting out, the pony flew into rainbow that screamed in surprise and in slight fear.

The pony grabbed her and flew down to a hill with a tree. Rainbow tried breaking free but the pony was on her back and put pressure on her wings, and their hoofs holding her hoofs. Getting closer to the ground rainbow closes her eyes and yelled.

But then everything stopped. Feeling the forced wind turn into more of a breeze rainbow wondered what happened, she then heard someone chuckling. Being near the voice she knew it was a stallion but knew no peguses stallion in ponyville that could fly as fast as her. Opening her eyes, rainbow turned her head to see who it was, her eyes widen in surprise at the pony.

Saber laughed at the face rainbow made at him. He let her go and sat down on the grass has he laughed. Rainbow shook out of her surprise state, and glared at saber for laughing at her "You jerk! What's the big deal!?" She said.

Saber calmed himself down so that he could speak "That was hilarious. Haven't had this much fun in a while that doesn't involve fighting" he wipes his right eye "Sorry about that pink eyes, after you chased me all over the sky, I knew I had to catch you myself"

Rainbow hearing him was shocked that he was the pony she was chasing. She wanted to ask him how he was so fast, but would ask him later, right know she was both mad, and embarrassed "Your such a plothole. Really had be surprised there" she got up and walked over to saber "Why are you out here anyways?' She asked him.

Saber stayed on the ground, he said "I left purples house when I got tried of answering questions. I walked around ponyville meeting your pink wakey friend that tried hugging me that looked like she was trying to run me over" rainbow laughed at what saber said, he continued "After that I came here to stretch my wings and fly around, it was normal until a rainbow headed pony was following me" his eyes landed on rainbow dash implying it was her.

She looked away guilty, she rubbed her cheek "Sorry about that. I was just interested of who was flying around ponyville, and finding that it was you" she pointed at him.

He nodded "Sounds about right...." He got up and said "Sorry about scaring you, I just wanted to spook you a little"

Rainbow scoffed looking untruthful "Yeah right. I wasn't scared just surprised" saber looked at, knowing she was completely lying.

He rolled his eyes "Yeah.... so that girly scream you made was intentional" rainbow turned fast at saber.

"I wasn't screaming. And even if I did it wouldn't sound like that, it would have sounded awesome" she said cocky like. Saber found rainbow dash the opposite of twilight, and liked it.

Saber walked passed her as he headed towards the tree "So what are you going to do? After that chase scene we did I'd thought you would leave to do whatever you were going to do before I showed up" Rainbow followed him as he grabbed his sword and kimono, drawing the sword and working on his kimono.

Rainbow actually didn't have anything to do today "Well actually I was just going to fly around and head over to sugercube corner later for a bite. Got nothing going on really" she watched him cut holes into his kimono, two good sizes on the back area.

He shortened his kimono before putting it on and sashing Uingutaiga by his side. The two holes on the back let his wings come out, he moved them around liking I'm easy work, he turned back to rainbow "Well if you got nothing to do, I can show and tell you how I took out those diamond dogs yesterday like I said"

Rainbow was interested and excitedly moved to sit next to him under the tree "Awesome! I want details, don't leave nothing behind" saber smiled and nodded. He told her what he did and how he showed up between everypony and cut down every diamond dog soldier.

When he was done rainbow looked at saber with sparkles In her big eyes, he wondered how she did that "That sooooo awesome! So like how did you hide your, um presence?"

Saber grinned and said "I'll show you. Close your eyes" rainbow was confused but did as he said. She heard saber say "Know open" rainbow did but saw that he was gone. She looked around and even flew up in the air, she landed back down on the ground.

Sitting back down and looking left, she said "Alright you can come out know"

"I'm right here" she heard him say to her right. Startled and looking right, she seeing saber next to her suddenly not even hearing him.

Rainbow was baffeled "W-what h-how..." She was very confused.

Saber chuckled "What you just experience was how I got passed razor and his dogs, and bypass you and everyponies eyes. You see its a skill I thought myself a long time ago. By lowering my state of mind I can hide my emotions and slip pass ponies very easily, and with my speed I can bypass them effectively"

Rainbow placed her front hoofs on her cheeks making a cute and funny face that took saber by surprise "That's so cool Saber! With a skill like that I could prank ponies without having to hide behind bushes" he found it funny that she would us this skill to prank others.

Rainbow asked him a question "How about that thing you did to the diamond dogs. When you placed your sword away our chains were cut and every diamond dog was sliced by something, what did you do?"

He was wondering when she was going to ask that "While my presence was hidden from them. And as I said, I ran around you guys first slicing your cuffs and then the mutts. But your wondering why it took me sheathing my sword for everything to happen right?" She nodded.

Saber said "You see rainbow speed can be used for a lot of things. What I did was my skill of speed when cutting the cuffs, and dogs" rainbowed listen to him "My attack speed when swinging my sword was said by those that heard of me, was as fast as lighting" rainbow was shocked.

"Known, so like your famous or something" saber shook his head.

"Not famous. I've done a lot of things back in my home area that ponies have heard of, knowing my skills. One of them was my quickdraw speed when pulling my sword out" he took Uingutaiga off his waist, raising the sword so rainbow could get a good look at it "I cut your chains and the dogs so fast that it left a delay affect"

Rainbow couldn't believe it "Wait what? What do you mean by delay affect" she asked him.

Saber explained "You see when one cuts something it slices what ever they cut, but when controlled better and with speed times time, the outcome when somepony gets attacked, the reaction of said injury takes time to appear because of how fast the pony is"

Saber then said "To put it simply, I moved faster than the reaction of my strike to register to the person" after he said that rainbow actually understood.

"Ohh...." She said. Saber looked at her like she was a child, rainbow snorted "Don't look at me like that! Next time don't tell it like twilight"

Saber smirked looking away "Your probably right. A brain like yours couldn't handle such words of wisdom" rainbow jottled by his words, she glared at him.

"I can understand! It's just something that could lower my awesomeness, can't have my 20 turn into a 15" saber didn't believe her, knowing she just couldn't understand even if she tried.

He shrugged "Whatever you say pink eyes" rainbow huffed hearing him call her that a second time.

"Why are you calling me that. You already know my names rainbow dash" he did but didn't feel like calling her that.

Saber had a playful look in his eyes "I know, I just like calling those I meet for the first time something else"

Rainbow was confused by her weird name "But why call me pink eyes?" Saber turned to her, he looked into her big eyes.

"Because. Your eyes are pretty cute, kinda crazy as your personality very boyish" rainbow dash blushed from saber complimenting her eyes, but then back to being mad when being call boyish.

She stomped her front hooves on the ground "Boyish?! Got a problem with that cat eyes!" She yelled. Saber was finding rainbow more fun than twilight, more funny to mess with. He raised an eyebrow at what she called him, somewhat finding it ironic.

"Cat eyes? Mind telling me why you called me that"

She pointed at his eyes, still somewhat upset "Your eyes are shaped different than a normal ponies, not circled but oval, like a cat's. So here forth I'll be calling you cat eyes for pay back" she slyly said, thinking she had saber.

Saber actually liked the name "Ok pink eyes. Guess we already went into cute names for each other, what's next we start cuddling?~" rainbow widen her eyes and her blush got hotter, she quickly thought of something to distract herself.

She shot up, and said "Gosh I'm starting to get hungry. Last one at sugercube corner is a slow donkey!" She yelled and rockets towards ponyville. Saber chuckled, he took off towards rainbow dash, following her and racing her to sugercube corner.

Inside the bakery, twilight and spike with the girls minus rainbow was seated in one of the booths. Twilight told them why she got them together and where they are going.

Rarity was happily excited "Canterlot! What the luck. I could get some fabric from some if the shops there, much more styled in canterlot"

Twilight said "Were not going to canterlot to shop around rarity. Celestia wants us there to talk to her in person about what happened yesterday" rarity pouted that she couldn't go shopping.

Applejack was wondering something "Did the letter say anything about why, the princesses what with saber?"

Twilight frowned "I don't know applejack, she said to bring him and said nothing of why"

Pinkie shot up "Maybe it's because of what he did. He did save everypony, maybe she's going to give him a reward!" She started listing off what the reward could be, all cake flavors she thought.

The rest let pinkie ramble as they continued to talk "Maybe the princess might be worried. None of us thought that diamond dogs would attack us like yesterday" fluttershy said to them.

Twilight agreed "I agree something's not right. I've learned that diamond dogs that are kicked out of their kingdom would start forming groups and creating mines. Any pony unlucky that stray away could be taken, but diamond dogs attacking a huge town of ponies doesn't seem right to me. I would like to talk about this with celestia if only we knew where sabertooth is!"

Twilight was agitated, her and spike looked around asking ponies while getting everypony to sugercube corner if they have seen him, but finding out no pony has seen saber since a few saw him near sugercube corner.

Applejack turned to pinkie "You spoke to him pinkie. You know where he could have gone?" Pinkie shook her head.

"Nope. I didn't ask him, I know he was walking around ponyville to get use to it but probably went and did something else" she suspected.

Twilight slammed her head on the table, Startling fluttershy "Where could he be..... I hope he didn't leave ponyville because of me?!' She said, the look of worry and sadness in her eyes.

Pinkie being next to her patted twilight's shoulder "Don't worry twilight, saby is still in ponyville. He might even be with rainbow dash as we speak" twilight didn't think something like that could be possible.

"Pinkie it's very unlikely that saber could be with rainbow dash right know" after she said that surprised screams came from outside of sugercube corner. The group turned to the door just in time for it to slam open and show both saber and rainbow dash running inside at the same time.

They stopped and started arguing, rainbow said "I won, made it here first!"

Saber didn't agree "No I did, flew pass you and got in first"

Rainbow shook her head, she found it impossible that saber passed her "Flew passed me! I got here first, I can fly circles around you" she bragged.

Saber stood tall "And I'll be right on your tail soon after" he looked down at rainbow in a proud like way. Rainbow stared saber back as she looked up at him.

The group walked over to the two as they stared off each other. Pinkie ruined it by saying "Aww... their looking into each other's eyes like a couple!"

Saber and rainbow blinked back and turned to pinkie, both saying "What!" Pinkie pie, and applejack laughed at their reaction. The two looked annoyed at them.

Rarity said "My goodness you two, what were you both even doing?" The rest except for twilight wanted to know.

The two faced the group, rainbow said "Me and saber had a little race to get here, that I won" rainbow stuck her head high but saber made sure it went back down.

"That's what she likes to think, can't take in the truth that I beat her. Poor little thing" he rubbed her mane like a child, rainbow growled and swatted his hoof away.

Twilight wasn't letting them waste time "There's no time for this. We need to head over to the train and head to canterlot!" Twilight started to use her magic, saber looked confused and cautions as the girls yelled at twilight to stop but were to late.

Twilight used a teleportation spell to bring them from sugercube corner, to the train station. The girls were on the ground looking dizzy. Saber stood standing but didn't like the feeling of being transported, spike was trying to keep himself from throwing up fire.

They got there just in time for the train to arrive. Twilight clapped her hooves and dragged her friends inside the train with her magic "Yes! Come on girls we can't keep celestia waiting" saber followed behind her as he had spike by the tail with his teeth.

"This chick can be scary at times" he thought. As they went inside, the train roared as smoke came out. The train started moving and heading towards canterlot. Inside the train, the group sat separated from each other. Applejack, rarity, fluttershy, and pinkie pie on one side across from them. Spike, twilight, rainbow dash, and saber on the other.

Applejack stared twilight down with a mad look in her green eyes, that made twilight shrink back in her seat "Gosh darnet Twilight! Next time warn use before using your magic" applejack said, she was peeved that twilight used her magic on them.

Rarity was fixing her mane "That's right. Know I have to get my mane perfect all over again!"

Twilight sheepishly smiled "Sorry guys, it's just that celestia made it sound urgent in her letter" she apologized.

Spike looked at twilight confused "What do you mean? The letter sounded normal like the rest" twilight gave spike a look, making him shut his mouth and whistle looking away from her.

Fluttershy reassured twilight "It fine twilight. We've learned to get us to your.... strange behaviour"

Twilight sighed "Thanks flutters- wait what?" Finding herself feeling insulted by fluttershy of all ponies.

Pinkie rubbed her tummy "Wowy! Teleporting really made my tummy feel funny. I'm going to need castle cake to fix this" she messed with her stomach as the others talked.

While they did, saber and rainbow dash sitting a few feet away were in a conversation of their own.

Saber was wondering what canterlot was like and asked rainbow dash about it "Is canterlot the base kingdom for you ponies or something?"

Rainbow answered "Yea, it's where both princess celestia and Luna rule at. Canterlots a cool place to be for first timers. It's nothing like ponyville tho"

"Is there anything I have to know before we reach the place?" Saber wanted to make sure he doesn't do anything to gain attention.

Rainbow rubbed her chin, thinking "Well... not much. Except the ponies that live in canterlot" she bleached at the thought of them, saber wanted to know why.

"Why? Is something wrong with them" rainbow had on a annoyed look on her face.

"Something like that. Everypony there are lame rich snobs that don't care about Anypony but themselves" she said.

Hearing what she said, saber completely understood "Oh.... So rich royal assholes then, got it" he thought in his head.

Saber was never a fan of the rich and powerful. Those that use their wealth for themselves and mock the poor, and weak. Saber was labeled rich because of the money he gets for his hired jobs, but unlike them he uses it for those that need it and help the villages he saves with the money.

He showed his own distaste of rich jerks "I understand, we have those types back in neiapone. Looking down on others, and believing their more important than them. I never agree to work for those types"

Rainbow listen, she was interested of this neiapone place but questioned what he meant at the end "Work with them, what do you mean saber?"

Saber said "I was a hired mercenary back in neiapone" rainbow dash wide eyed in shock. She didn't think saber was both a samurai and a mercenary.

"Wait, wait, wait. You were a mercenary?!" He nodded "That's so cool! What did you do, what kind of jobs did you take" she asked him many questions and wanted to know.

Saber chuckled "Watch out dash, your sounding a lot like your purple friend" rainbow placed her hoofs over her mouth, she blushed in embarrassment.

Saber answered for her "Well.... I've done a lot of things. Getting hired to hunt down dangerous creatures or sent to stop bandits that are causing problems. For instincts I was once sent to take down a evil overlord that conquered a peaceful temple, and enslaved the ponies there"

Rainbow listen to everything he said, she was totally impressed by what he was hired to do "Woah.... so like did you beat him?" she smiled when saber grinned smugly.

"You got that right! Got there, took out his soldiers and ended the bastard, saving those that were slaves and taking out another evil minded pony" he remembered that day clearly, it was back when he was younger and when people started calling him his title they made up.

Rainbow was glad that saber did that, but notice how he phrased it "So.... that means you..." Saber said it for her.

"I killed him, and his men" she cringed but didn't move away or looked disgusted.

Rainbow wanted to know something, she said "Why? Was there no other way, you couldn't just take him to a dungeon?"

Saber thought about it, he said "Maybe. But you have to know that I was hired to kill him, not capture him. But this has nothing to do with my job, right?" She nodded and saber answered "Rainbow dash, have there been corrupted, evil ponies in equestria"

Rainbow blinked, not thinking saber would ask her a question but answered "Well yes a few, like nightmare moon, discord, and a few other things but they weren't anything bad like them. Why do you ask?"

Saber sighed and said "Because evil is random. There are those that have a reason to cause destruction and others that enjoy it, there are those that could become good and others that stay bad"

He looked into rainbows eyes, she flinched from how serious his eyes looked but also found them appealing "Who was this nightmare moon?" He asked her. Rainbow gave him the short version of it "And she became good soon after?" He questioned.

Rainbow nodded, and raised her head in pride "Yup, one blast with the elements and boom, no more nightmare moon and brought back princess Luna" he nodded but said.

"So you guys destroyed the fake Luna, this nightmare moon?" Rainbow blinked and looked unsure.

"Well.... maybe, I don't know if we did or not. She was just gone and replaced with luna"

Saber hummed "That would mean either she's dead, or is still inside your princess" saber concluded.

Rainbow denied it "Saber princess Luna is fine. And even if, she would have told use or celestia" saber didn't think so, and seeing as nightmare moon was created out of jealousy. Then it can be possible Luna is keeping that knowledge to herself.
He asked her to tell him about discord, and what he learned just proved his theory.

"That just proves I might be right. So this guy is a so called God and was beaten by the elements" he asked rainbow, she said yes "Then that just means your elements aren't meant to truly defeat your enemies"

Rainbow didn't understand "The elements are what kept equestria save, how could you even think that?"

He rolled his eyes "Listen to me for a bit. You said that celestia used the elements to send her sister to the moon, right?" She nodded "And before that they used it on discord that was turned to stone. Both times the elements didn't cause mortal harm or evil hurt them, but either sent them somewhere far or imprison them"

He compared the two "And know Luna is here replaced with nightmare moon that you said was defeated by celestia that was older and possibly stronger than her, but was forced to use the elements because luna become somehow stronger. And discord being a god that could bend realty was beaten because of the elements trapping him in stone"

Saber finished it off "Know pay close attention on what about to say" she was nervous but slowly nodded and listened "If discord, being the god of caos, that wasn't killed by the element but imprisoned, and broke out of his stone prison over the years. Who says nightmare moon wouldn't be also alive and most Likely inside Luna as we speak"

Rainbow couldn't believe it, but what saber said made sense. Discord escaped and got trapped by her and the girls right after, meaning he could just escape again! And if that's true then nightmare moon could be alive and living inside princess Luna!

"That can't be true. Could it, I mean discord escaped before, and might again. And if he could do that, nightmare moon..." rainbow thought about it but couldn't get herself to trust his claim.

Rainbow said in her own right "Does it matter that their still alive. I mean, they lost twice so they'll just give up"

Saber shook his head, not agreeing with her "That only works on those that lost their powers and strength, weak minded to do anything about it. But different for those that are smart and think of ways in getting it back" saber turned is body away from the window and sat back in his seat "Nightmare moon could be buying time before showing herself again, and discord would wait for the elements magic on him to weaken and break free, because evil doesn't stop until their goals are complete" rainbow felt her fur shake at the notion of something like that actually happening.

Saber was thinking if something that expressed what the elements are "These elements sound more like a shield than a weapon"

Rainbow was starting to get what saber was talking about, she said "Shield, how so?"

Saber explained "A shield is made to protect and defend attacks from a sword. These elements either transport and weaken enemies like nightmare moon, or trap them in something that they can't escape like discord"

Rainbow wasn't the smartest but could understand like any other pony. And right know she was starting to think saber was right, she said "Wow.... I can't, I don't know if this could be true"

Saber reassured her "Don't let it get over your head rainbow, it's just a theory and nothing more. I think it's dumb to let those get away with doing whatever they want, and harm innocent ponies to do it" Saber turned back looking out the window, facing the window as rainbow thought to herself.

"Could it really happen. If discord's could break free, then nightmare moon could come back!" She soon calmed her mind "But he said it was just a theory, it may never actually happen.... right?" Her thoughts were inturptted by a whisper calling her name "Rainbow dash" she turned to see the girls and spike looking over at her and saber, twilight waving her over.

Before she moved, rainbow said to saber "I'll be right back" she saw saber nod, rainbow moved and sat close to twilight being with the others.

"What is it, need something?" Twilight shook her head.

"I wanted to bring everypony together except saber to talk" rainbow questioned why.

"Ok, but why?"

Twilight said "To talk about him. I want to tell you guys what I learned about him, and hear what each of you think of him" the girls nodded except rainbow that didn't what to talk behind sabers back.

She told them what happened inside the library, rarity wasn't pleased "Well that wasn't nice, leaving without a care"

Twilight wasn't bothered by it "It's fine rarity. Saber seemed nice enough to answer my questions and he did, most of them. He asked me one but I didn't answer him, only dodging the question"

Applejack said "Don't worry about it twi. I bet he doesn't mind either, he seems the type to let things slide by" twilight wasn't sure.

"Maybe.... after what he said before leaving, I thought what he meant and started thinking he might be right" the girls and spike looked at each other before looking back at twilight.

Fluttershy said shyly "B-but those diamond dogs didn't deserve to be k-k-" fluttershy couldn't say the word.

Twilight meant It in a different way "I still think k-killing them was wrong, but he was right. Razor and his diamond dogs weren't going to let use go by talking it out or trying to befriend him. I should have taken him in, and send a letter to celestia to send a guard to take razor away"

Rainbow nodded "Yeah, know we have a evil diamond dog far away probably plotting something" rarity didn't think razor would do that.

"Come know rainbow, he lost his soldiers and was sent away with nothing. He must be living his life away from ponyville" rainbow dash didn't agree and thought that razor would try something, thinking on what saber said to her about how random evil can be.

Pinkie remembered something and said "What about those pretty crystals. He took one with him" they flinched, except pinkie when twilight gasped out.

She pulled her mane with her hoofs "That right! The crystals, thanks pinkie for reminding me"

"No problem twilight, it's what I do. And other things" she said mysteriously.

She got back to the main topic "So what do you guys think about saber?" Pinkie pie went first.

She waved her hoofs to get their attention "Oh, oh, saber is nice and funny. He didn't give me the 'crazy pink pony look' that most ponies do when first meeting me!" She smiled, finding that one treat friendship wise.

Applejack spoke next "He did save ma sister from them mutts, I just feel tense around him. Like being around a wild animal or something"

Rarity gave twilight a elegant reply "Like applejack he saved sweetie so I'm very much grateful. His clothing is simply dashing, and the way he shortened the cloth gave me some interesting ide-" twilight inturptted her.

"Forgetting the topic rarity...." she looked at her in unamused. Rarity giggled and said sorry.

"He's quite brash in a way, but very handsome" she finished. Spike looked heart broken hearing this, and looked over at saber that was still looking out the window, spike glaring at him. Rainbow didn't know why but hearing rarity say that made her look at her in a uncomfortable way. Fluttershy spoke next, sounded more like whispering but loud enough for them to hear.

"H-he looked so scary yesterday. And what h-he did terrified me" they understood mostly because fluttershy is very easy to scare, she wasn't finished "But he seemed different than any other pony. Like something I can't figure out" they looked at fluttershy confusingly.

Applejack asked "What do you mean sugercube?"

Fluttershy clamed up, and said "Its hard to describe it, i-i might be able to tell you all another time"

Twilight started talking next but sounded more like a lecture. When she started talking rainbow looked away uninterested "Gosh this is boring, talking to saber was way better than this" the thought of him got her looking towards his direction.

Saber was still looking out the window, he seemed slightly bored having to be on a train doing nothing but waiting until they get to canterlot. Rainbow thought "He looks really bored, I feel the same way when I can't spread my wings and fly around" she looked over his body "Know getting a better look at him, saber is really fit. His hooves muscles aren't broad like big Macs but more defined, he could even knock out big Mac with strength like that. And his body looked right for somepony that fights a lot. It's both awesome and ho-" she froze at what she was going to say.

Shaking her head rainbow tried getting rid of thoughts like that "The hay was the about! Rainbow you need to focus, You've just met this guy and only got to know him today!" She huffed and looked somewhere else that wasn't sabers good looking upper body, and looked at his hind legs.

Rainbow saw something, her eyes looking in surprise. Getting up she went over to saber to get a better look. Right when she did twilight finished her boring speech of what she thought about saber "And That's it" the others looked sleepy but hide it well from twilight.

Applejack said "That was very-" she pulled her hat down to cover her yawn "something twi" they nodded also hiding their mouths when yawning.

Twilight smiled in glee "Thanks girls, know rainbow it's your tu-" she turned to face rainbow dash but saw she wasn't next to her. They all looked ahead and saw her heading back to saber but looking at something that was on him.

They got up and followed her. Reaching her, they saw what she was looking at and also looked surprised by it. Saber was minding his own business when he felt eyes on him, turning his head, he saw all of the girls, and spike looking at his flank and making him feel creeped out by their staring.

Saber said "The fuck are you guys doing?!" His blunt and discomfort voice startled them. Looking up at him, saber gave them a not satisfied look making them scoot back.

Rarity said to prove their innocents "We're very sorry dear, it's just that we were looking at your cutie mark"

Saber seemed to freeze at what rarity said. He blinked and said "Cutie what?" They each looked at one other, before looking back at saber.

Twilight said "Your cutiemark" she pointed at his flank "unless their named different in neiapone"

Saber looked down at his flank, and on it was a mark he's never had before when he was human. The image was a black and white tigers head with two large fangs, between it's teeth was a sphere that was turquoise like sabers eyes but in a darker shade.

Looking at the mark, saber felt a wave of remembrance "The tiger looks like her, but what does the sphere mean and why is it so dark?"

Pinkie commented on his mark "I've never seen a cutiemark like that before. It even has a cute kitty on it" saber frowned at the name, and his tiger being called cute.

Twilight said "Do you know what your cutiemark means saber?" He thought about it and said.

"It mean my strength is animal related, mostly based off of a tiger. Showing I can be more beast than pony" twilight and the girls felt their skin crawl in how he mentioned his cutiemark. Rainbow sat next to him thinking his mark was cool.

"That sounds awesome! And your cuti-" she saw him cringe at the name "I mean mark looks cool, but mines about 15% more awesome" she bragged, making him look at her in a challenging way. Saber looked down at her flank, his Looking for some reason made rainbow feel embarrass about herself. He covered his mouth, holding in a laughed that made rainbow frown at him.

Getting angry, she said "Hey! What's so funny?"

Saber waved his hoof "Don't get mad, I'm not laughing at you. Your mark makes a lot of sense of who you are" rainbow wanted to know what her mark means in his eyes but a whistle from the train sounded out.

"Approaching canterlot!" Saber turned back to the window and was impressed by the beauty canterlot displayed. He's been to many kingdoms but this was pure colorful and shiny. The train stopped and opened their doors to let them out. Leaving the train, the group stopped to look around and for saber to get a custom around canterlot.

Twilight smiled as saber looked around him, she said "What do you think of canterlot saber, a great place right!"

Saber hummed "Not a half bad kingdom. A bit glowy for me, but a very good looking kingdom"

Twilight judged sabers comment about canterlot, she frowned at him "That's it? No interest of the texture or how majestic the kingdom is. Only that it's glowy and half bad?!" Twilight didn't like how normal saber thought about her home.

Saber could tell she didn't like his basic comment of the kingdom, he rolled his eyes "Purple I've been to other kingdoms before this one, it's more of a second thought know. Sorry my reaction wasn't up to our standards" he was glaring at her know.

Twilight flinched back, but knew she acted unfriendly "Sorry sabertooth, it's just many ponies find canterlot a symbol of peace and harmony" she looked down in sadness that made saber groan inside his head.

"It's fine purple. I might have spoken about this kingdom to boringly. This kingdom is nice and beautiful, like sakura pedals flowing through the wind" saber isn't the type of man to talk in hiku, but wanted twilight to look happy and not sad.

She was surprised to hear that from him, and some if the girls thought the same. She smiled at saber "Thanks saber, your a really good friend"

Saber blinked at the word friend "Friend, when did we become friends?" He banished the thought and started to walk away "Nice to hear that but don't we have a princess to meet" this made twilight startle up and freak out.

"Your right! We need to hurry before we're late" she trotted pass him quickly "I'll lead the way!" And she did as the others followed behind her and into the kingdom of the two royal sisters. Walking through canterlot, saber looked around him at all of the shops and stores. Everything looked clean and perfect something's he's never seen before, even kingdoms that are govern equally had problems and bad parts within.

"Seems peace and loving, but I don't buy it. Nothing can be totally perfect, no matter how much someone's tries" saber thought. He noticed since walking with the girls that ponies wearing suits and accessories were watching them walk by. He could tell by glance they were looking down at them, eyes full of greed and selfishness.

Saber felt like punching some of them, but that would get him in trouble and he didn't want twilight yelling at him. Saber moved close to rainbow, he whispered "You were right, these ponies really are rich snobs"

Rainbow covered her mouth, giggling "Told you so. But not all of them are bad, some are actually pretty cool" he trusted rainbow on that.

Soon they reached the castles entrance. Two pony guards wearing gold armor with spears in their hooves, guarded the gate. Walking up to them, one of the guards raised his hoof to stop them "Stop right there, what is the reason of you all coming here?"

Twilight answered "Princesses celestia sent me a letter to come and meet her with my friends" using her magic, she pulled out a letter from her saddle bag and gave it to the guard"

He looked it over, nodded at the letter and handing it back to twilight "Alright, you may enter" moving back both guards opened the doors to the castle. The girls and spike walked through with no problems, but when saber tried following them, the guard that spoke to twilight stopped him.

"Freeze! Hand over your sword stallion, we can't have you enter armed" they had their spears crossed blocking his path.

Saber looked annoyed at them both "No can do, tin cans. Were I go my sword comes with" the guards glared at saber for not listening and insulting their armor.

One of them step up to saber "Hoof over the sword or we will forcefully take it away" he threaten saber to hoof over Uingutaiga.

Saber then got serious, the two guards flinched back at the sudden dangerous intent saber gave off "I like to see you both try. It'll make my day much more exciting" he grinned, freaking the guards out.

Twilight and them came back, seeing as saber was being blocked from entering. twilight said "Sabertooth is with use. The princesses said in the letter they wanted to meet him"

One of the guards turned to her, he stuttered "B-but we can't-" he was cut off by rainbow.

"Will you both let saber pass already! Unless you want the princesses to come and find out, you both not letting their guest meet them" she slyly said. The guards didn't want to get in trouble, and be near saber so they let him pass. Walking through the castle, saber looked over at the windows and clear clean floors. This place felt girly, and he wished to be somewhere else that wasn't sparkling.

They walked passed guards that were watching them. When their eyes land on saber, he glared at them making the guards flinch back "These are the ones that protect this place? Look more like pups wearing armor to make themselves look bigger" he thought, not seeing anything intimidating about the guards.

They reached a large door that was guarded by two guards just like the ones guarding the castle entrance.

Again these guards stopped them "Halt, you are twilight sparkle correct?" He asked.

She nodded, the guard said "Princesses celestia, and Luna want to speak to you and the rest of the elements alone" he looked over at saber "He can not come in unless the princesses order it"

Twilight questioned why celestia wanted to talk to them and leave saber out. Rainbow dash being blunt asked "Why can't he come. He's pretty much the reason why were here?"

The guards shook his head "I'm sorry but I can't answer that. Only the princesses can tell you inside" him and the other guard open the doors to let the girls in.

Twilight turned to saber "We'll be right back saber" he didn't much care and waved them off as they went inside. The guards closed the doors and stood at attention like before.

Saber looked at them both then turned around trotting away. The second guard saw him and said "You must wait here when the princesses call upon you"

Saber turned his head at him "I'm not going to stand here and wait. I rather get a look around of this place instead, if you guys want to stop me go ahead, but that leaves the door unguarded" he smiled when he saw their eyes widen in revelation "Later tin cans, it was nice talking with you both" he could feel them glaring at him, but he didn't give a crap.

Sabers pov

I left the guards and walked through the castles halls. This place design is somewhat the same as the other kingdoms I've been to, but more peaceful. As I walked there were glass paintings on the walls. Getting a good look, each painting had the girls on it "Hmm? Rainbow was right, each one looks to be how they won" looking at the paintings it showed one with a dark black and blue mare with both a horn and wings, and a creature made out of different parts of other creatures.

"So they're the villains she was talking about" they didn't look anything scary, mostly discord "For bad guys they both look easy to beat" I continued onwards to where ever I could go.

But then I stopped in my tracks when loud noises of ponies talking caught my ears. It was coming from where me and the gang came from when first entering the castle. I wanted to know what was going on, so I opened my wings and flew through the castle to the noise.

Getting there I see pony guards all moving around, and equipping themselves with swords and spears "The hell is going on here" I looked to see a stallion in gold armor saluting to a bigger guard stallion, and running towards where I came from.

"He might know the situation" I zoomed down and blocked his path. Seeing me he grinded his hoofs to stop, stopping right in front of me.

He was sweating and looked urgent to be somewhere, he said "Citizen you need to move out of-"

I put my hoof up near his mouth, shutting him up "What's going on? Why are the guards arming themselves ready for battle?" I thought something must be going wrong for them to be acting like this.

He groaned and yelled "I don't have time for this! I need to-" I glared at him, grabbed the punks collar part of his armor and pulled him near my face. He made a scared horse noise as I glared at him.

"Listen here, and listen well. You are going to tell me what's happening, or I'll make sure you never get to where your going" I seethed and growled at him.

His eyes shrunk to pinpricks at my threat, he nodded scarily "A-alright, I'll tell you. Words been told that a dragon is attacking a pony village, the guard that informed the issue said that the guards with him were killed by it"

I raised an eyebrow at the information "Dragon? I remember twilight telling me they are sentient like use"

The guard said "I was instructed by solar guard, rising dawn to tell the princesses about this" he looked nervous "I told you s-so can you let me go"

I asked another question before releasing him "Where is this village. Is it close to canterlot?" The guards was confused by my question, but answered.

"It's north-west from here, near a bunch of tree's" getting what I wanted, I let him go as he caught himself. Flying up I zoomed out of the castle ignoring the looks of the guards. Soaring up and stopping in the air, I pinpointed the direction the guard said.

"Ok time to see what a dragon looks like in this world" flapping my wings, I rocketed off heading north-west in fast speeds, I'll get there in under a minute.

Third person

Right when saber walked away from the door, guarded by two pony guards. The girls, and spike walked towards the throne where both celestia and Luna sat. Seeing her student, celestia smiles motherly at her, and her friends.

Celestia spoke in a calm and caring manner "It is good to see you again twilight, and I am happy you have brought the rest of the girls with you"

Twilight and them bowed in respect "Thank you princess, we came as fast as we could to meet you regarding what happened yesterday in ponyville" celestia's smile faltered, she read the letter twilight sent her and was angered at what happened to her ponies.

Luna knowing the events thanks to celestia showed angry she was, she looked furious that made the girls seems small "How dare those dogs attack our ponies! We will find and shut them down for good, sending them far from any pony settlement in equestria" her voice loud for them all to hear, good think she wasn't speaking in her canterlot voice or they would have gone deaf.

Celestia placed a hoof on her sisters shoulder "Calm yourself sister, we will deal with the diamond dogs soon" her words help calm the lunar princess, thanking her sister right after "Right know I wish to speak about what your letter spoke about twilight" twilight startled up when her name was called.

Celestia said "Tell me my student do you know why the diamond dogs attacked ponyville, any reason?" Twilight seem to think about it, she replied.

"No princess, their leader razor only said what he would do to everypony, not why" celestia remembered from the letter that the diamond dogs attacked and were going to take ponyvilles residents as slaves like any creature that are taken by diamond dogs.

She asked another question "And the crystals you wrote about, you said that they took the magic inside you?" This prospect was mostly important to celestia.

Twilight nodded, she was scared of the weapon, the diamond dogs used when they attacked "Yes princess, they had spears with red crystals on the tip. When aimed at a pony, it fires a beam at them, and when hit it somehow absorbs the magic inside said pony, feeling weak and tried right after"

Celestia feared what twilight said. A weapon that could take away the magical energy inside a pony, even other creatures like griffons and minotuars that have magic within them also is very frightening, and in the wrong hands could mess up the balance of equestria.

Celestia put up a serious look on her face "Such a weapon in equestria, and in the hands of diamond dogs can not be allowed. Me and Luna will form a platoon of guards to search and find the diamond dog cave, attack and contain these crystal for safety reasons"

Luna agreed with her "This outcome is a very surprise and dreadful problem. Never have there been something quite like this, and could take away a ponies magic" she paused for a second, thinking of the resulting outcome of such weapons known by others "This could go horrible if others know about these crystals" Twilight and the girls were spooked by what they heard. A weapon such as that could change equestria if not handled correctly.

Twilight looked down in helplessness "I'm sorry princess, we couldn't stop them from capturing everypony, and soon joined them. Failing our positions as elements of harmony" the other girls felt sad and beaten, mostly applejack and rainbow dash that felt the most shameful out of all of them, and also twilight that couldn't do anything without her magic.

Spike placed a claw on twilight's side, trying to help her feel better. Celestia looked at her student and subjects with pity and sadness.

Celestia reassured twilight "Do not let this stop you twilight. You and the girls did your best to fight, and protect ponyvilles citizens. You must stay strong and do your best and protect what you all care for, only when you give up is when all hope is lost"

Twilight lifted her head up because of celestia's words, Luna said "My sister is right dear twilight. You and the rest of the bearers have saved equestria twice in low odds of successes, but from not giving up you all were able to prevail and win, something me and my sister both appreciate from you all"

The rest looked back at the princesses, their moods changed to smiles and happy faces. Twilight smiled up at both princesses "Thank you princesses. We won't let this stop use, We'll do our best when another problem comes up, right girls!" They all agreed with her.

Celestia and Luna smiled down at them "I am glad that you all, and everypony in ponyville is safe and unharmed" celestia said from what she heard in the letter about no one getting completely harmed by the diamond dogs.

Pinkie spoke out "Yup! If not for saby we would have been in real trouble" the princesses looked at pinkie in slight confusion, never hearing such a name before.

Luna said "Saby? Who is this saby you speak of?"

Twilight sighed at pinkies giddy nature "She's talking about sabertooth. The stallion that saved use from the diamond dog" celestia looked in remembrance, the letter spoke of a stallion saving her student and killing the diamond dogs that got her by surprised and for some reasons nervous.

She looked passively at them to hide her thoughts on the matter "Ah yes, the stallion that saved you and everypony. Did you learn anything from him twilight?" She nodded and told the princesses what she learned. Rainbow dash didn't really listen because she already knew because of saber telling her about him.

What they heard shocked both princesses, Luna said in her canterlot voice "A SAMURAI! WHAT IS A SAMURAI DOING HERE?" The girls, and spike covered their ears and hoped they could still hear. Celestia rubbed her ears as she looked at her sister evenly.

"Luna please don't use the canterlot voice in closed area's, you really need to control that habit" Luna blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment.

Twilight wondered why Luna reacted like that, she said "Is there a problem princess? Why did Luna act that way when learning that saber in a samurai?"

Celestia sighed "That's because no samurai has ever came here in this part of equis, and never wish to come here at all" this shocked the girls, it sounded like they distaste canterlot and every other pony settlement here in equestria.

Rarity spoke up "May I ask why princess. Surly that can not be true, canterlot is a beautiful and elegant place to be" she praised the kingdom of canterlot, not thinking any pony could hate it.

But celestia proved her wrong "And that's the reason" she simply said, catching them by surprise.

"Excuse me?" Rarity said.

Celestia continued "Neiapone is greatly different from canterlot or any other pony city. Neiapone is it's own country ruled by its own king, such like the crystal empire"

Luna spoke after "Neiapone is the opposite of canterlot. It is full of dangers within and out of the kingdom and ponies that go through death as a usual" the girls then gasped, not thinking a place like that could exist.

Celestia put her hoof up "Don't think that the kingdom of neiapone is full of evil and dark ponies, the ponies there are like any other pony here, but what lies around neiapone is the true problem" she started telling them the dangers that neiapone faces "Nieapone have creatures nothing like the kinds we have here, bandit groups of different kinds that cause problems in neiapon villages and distant cities. A very dangerous place for normal ponies such the ones in equestria could never handle"

The girls shockingly listen to celestia. Rainbow dash remembered what saber said about taking out bandits and evil ponies that he was hired to face, she knew he wasn't lying but hearing this from the princess proved it even more.

Fluttershy said "B-but what about s-sabertooth?" That got everyponies attention, mostly rainbow dash.

Celestia spoke her thoughts out to them "Learning that a ronin is here in equestria is very much startling news, and could cause problems for ponies who have no clue about neiapone" Luna spoke after.

"And his abilities to face and show no mercy to his enemies, and kill them is something we must be vigilant to. This stallion could even harm a pony, maybe do fatal harm to one that may seem hostile to him" rainbow dash choice that time to speak out, getting worry looks from her friends and surprise looks from both princesses.

"Know wait just a minute! How can you suggest such things when you haven't met him yet?!" The royal sisters looked at each other, celestia the one to reply.

"Rainbow dash we only speak what both me and my sister's thinks. The importance of our subjects come first, and a ronin samurai being in our borders rise concerns" rainbow stood strong.

She said "I may not know anything about this neiapone place you both keep talking about, or anything about the samurai's there, but I know saber is nothing like them. He's way better than those guys anyways" her friends looked at her in slight surprise, seeing their friend speak out for someone she's only knew for a day.

Rainbow looked away as she spoke "He's told be about how he feels about the bad guys, and jerks trying to take over canterlot. Saying it would be better to end them instead of letting them go free" the girls gasp, and the princess looked startled from hearing this "But..." they sat still hearing what rainbow was going to say next "When he said it, his face didn't change or show anything bad. He was speaking out his thoughts to me, and I think he wouldn't harm any pony that would just attack him and kill them so simply"

Rainbow dash looked straight at princess celestia and Luna "I believe that saber is nothing like these samurai's you speak about. He saved my friends and did what he had to do in order to save use. And mostly he's to awesome to be seen as a threat anyways!"

This was a very shocking things for the ponies. Hearing rainbow dash speak for another when she's usually always brash and aimed for anything new that could hurt her friends, talked loyally about a pony that's dangerous in the princesses eyes.

Before celestia could speak the throne doors opened as a stallion guard grinded his hoofs to a stop, getting their attention. He was breathing hard and sweating a storm.

Celestia recognized the guard as one of her solar guards newer recruits "Grind ground, what is the reason of you barrging in here?" She let him catch his breath seeing as he must have ran really fast to get here.

After catching his breath, grind said in a scared manner "Princesses! A dragon has been reported attacking the pony village flourish woods!" What he said shocked everypony in the room.

Celestia startled and flinched her subjects, yelling in her canterlot voice "WHAT?!"

Grind shook in fear from his princesses canterlot voice, but continued to speak "The g-guards stationed there were attacked and k-killed. Only one if them was able to escape in order to relive the message of this dire problem"

Both princesses harden their eyes and stood from their thrones, Luna said "We must head there know and stop this dragon quickly!" They fastly walked down the steps and stood in front of the bearers "Come bearers of harmony we must go know!" They all nodded quickly and walked out of the throne room door with grind ground.

Walking pass the guards that followed suit, pinkie said catching their attention "Wait where's saby?" Turning towards her and looking around, saber was not here at all.

Celestia turned to her guards that stood guarding the door "Where has that stallion gone?" The guards looked nervously at each other.

Left guard said "He left to look around the castle. We couldn't stop him because we were assigned to stay guarding the throne doors"

The girls startled up at the news. Twilight groaned and hoofpalmed her face "Of course he would!"

Grind ground said "Stallion? You mean the guy wearing some weird clothing, light grey fur with a black mane, and a sword on his side?" They looked at him hearing what he said, making him shrink back.

Twilight moved up to him with her crazy look "Yes that's him. Where is he?" Grind ground looked away and at the floor getting the ponies to look in worry for his paused silence.

He said "H-he stopped me by the castle gates and forced me to tell him what was going on, and where the dragon is. When I did he flew off and out of the castle" their eyes widen, putting two and two together.

Rainbow yelled "He did what!" She looked frantic at what she heard from grin ground. Celestia didn't want to waste time as her ponies and know a new one could be suffering as they speak.

"There is no time for this! We must head to flourish woods village, and stop the dragon from burning the whole village and ponies" with that said, her and everypony except grind ground headed to the castles entrance, getting inside a chariot and heading for flourish woods with a large platoon of guards to help saved the ponies in trouble.

In the village called flourish woods, the trees that the ponies planted thousands of years ago has become a blazing inferno. Ponies living in the peaceful village ran yelling and screaming as a large yellow dragon breathed fire at a house, burning those inside to a horrible death. Because of the trees surrounding the village was on fire, they couldn't escape.

The dragon laughed as he picked up a earth pony "Such easy prey. You ponies are such peace loving fools!" He ate the poor stallion easily. He then wipped his tail smashing through houses and sending ponies flying. A large group of citizens watch in terror as the dragon wreaked havoc on their homes. One pony mare says "By celestia, what are we going to do!"

A stallion wearing a tie said "We have no choice but to wait for the princesses to come and saved use" it was true, and their only option but one stallion got them realising that it could be to late.

"It's impossible tailor tie! Canterlot is miles beyond miles away from here. It would take hours for the princesses to get here" what he said made all hope go straight out of the window for them all. Back with the dragon, he heard something crying and it annoyed him. Looked right and downwards, he saw a blue furred colt crying as he sat in front of a burning house.

Find the colts crying annoying, he stepped close to the tiny colt and lifted his foot to crush him "I hate whiny babies!" He sent his foot down just when the colt look up, seeing the dragons foot heading for him. Suddenly the dragon heard something as he slammed his foot down on the colt. He looked around wondering what the noise was but shrugged it off. He lifted his foot and looked in confusion that the colt he tried stomping was gone.

The colt had his eyes closed shut waiting for his life to end, but then he felt a sudden wind and being picked up by something. The feeling of wind stopped and a voice spoke near him "Open your eyes kid, your not dead yet" the voice came from a stallion he's never heard of, but felt himself trust the unknown pony from how strong and serious he sounded.

Opening his eyes, he saw the ground move pass him. Turning his head to face the stallion, his eyes widen at sabers claw mark scar and fierce turquoise eyes. Descending down, saber lands close to the group of flourish woods pony citizen's.

Letting the colt go, a light blue mare runs over and grabs the colt into a hug "By celestia! Blue bolt, I'm so happy your safe" blue bolt hugged back his mother, tears going down his eyes as he nuzzled her chest. Saber walked passed them and towards the group, waving his hoof so that he could move through.

Tailor tie said "A-are you a guard sent by princesses celestia?!" Saber stood in front of the burning trees. He pulled Uingutaiga out of her sheath, blue bolt and his mother joining the group and watching saber.

Saber said "No" he coated Uingutaiga in a low powered ki. He pulled his hoof back, and swung wide sending a blast of ki, blowing away the fire off of the trees and opening a path. The ponies looked in shock as the trees that were on fire get blown away by sabers swing of his sword.

Blue bolt looked in awe as sabers crazy feat. Turning back to the ponies, saber said "I came here on my own reason, doing what I always do" he walked passed the ponies and heading back to the village. They watched him simply walked onwards, heading to the village where the dragon still is.

Blue bolt called him out. Stopping saber as he turned his head at the colt, he says "Why are you doing this? Not even the guards could stop that dragon, do you really think you can beat it" saber looked at the colt for a second. Blue bolts mother pulling her son and telling him to leave saber alone.

Saber said "I'm nothing like your guards. Canterlot guards fight to protect, I fight to win. What i'm doing is something's I've promised myself to do over my life" He looked back forward and started walking "Trust me kid, that dragon won't cause anymore damage to your home. His life has plummeted beacuse of his foolish actions" saber opened his wings and flew off, heading back to the village.

Blue bolt stared off like everypony else. He may have just met saber, but could tell and knew his home will not be completely destroyed with saber here.

Back in the village, the dragon smiled at his work. Crushed houses, destroyed shops and stands, burning a school house. He came here to feast on ponies but decided to also break and destroy everything here. Some homes were not destroyed but burning slightly that he didn't know of, but also didn't care.

Looking at the woods, he thought "Dumb fools. Who thought it was wise to surround a village in trees, such idiocy makes me laugh at times" and he did laugh. He stopped as his tail slammed down on a house behind him "No matter. I should go before the princesses that rule here come"

Before he could move his wings a shout yelled out towards him from his right "Oi!" Turning his head towards the voice, he saw a pony stallion standing on his hind legs, wearing some sort of clothing and a sword by his side. Saber got there in seconds. Not even the dragin knew he was there until he yelled out.

The dragon looked at saber in slight surprise, believing that he ate and killed everypony living here, he says "Huh? Seems I missed one, no matter" he turned and face saber fully "I'll kill you to pony"

Saber placed his left hoof on Uingutaiga, he sized up the yellow dragon and compared him with the dragon he killed by on his world "He's pretty big, taller than the woods and most likely can be seen from afar in the sky. Breaths fire like any other dragon, long tail, sharp claws and teeth. Still nothing compare to the one I fought before, much bigger in size and sharper claws that cloud cleave through the ground" his thoughts finished, saber knew this fight will not last long if he wished it.

The dragon mocked saber at his unmoved body "What's wrong pony. To scared to flee" he laughed at him, but saber caught him off guard by talking back.

"I hate fighting idiots like you. Always cocky, not knowing just how small you really are" sabers eyes took on a bored and annoyed look "Just so you know I came here to kill you, so please make this challenging for me, I hate easy prey"

The dragon blinked in shock. Never has he met a pony that talked back at him or hearing such a thing happen. Ponies would run before letting out a word, except screaming their lungs out. Gritting his teeth, the dragon glared at saber in anger "How dare you talk to me like that! Weaklings like you should beg for mercy and grovel to the powerful!" He yelled at saber.

Saber chuckled, he said "Really? Might as well do that I guess. Even tho I'll still cut you down in the end" he was mentioning the dragon and not himself.

Getting sick of saber quickly, the dragon opened his mouth and fired a ball of hot fire at him. The fire ball got close as sabers eyes harden and his smile dissapered. The ball hit where saber stood, and exploded upon contact. Grinning wide, the dragon relished seeing the grey stallion die in front of him "Damn pony, that's what you get for not running"

Unknown to him, saber dodged the fire ball and was on top of a house to the dragons right side. Saber placed his right hoof on Uingutaiga "Dumbass" he said before putting pressure on his hind hooves, he flapped his wings hard and rocketed right at the dragon, shattering the roof.

Saber moved so fast, that the dragon didn't know he was coming for him. Close to his face, saber slash across the dragons right eye. The sudden feeling of pain caused yellow dragon to roar out, and dropped down, clutching his eye as blood spilled out, he couldn't see anything from his right eye.

He heard someone whistle, turning his head up, he sees saber above him tapping Uingutaiga on his shoulder "Sorry about that, I just hate it when evil bastard like you looking down on me"

Sweat ran down the top of yellow dragons head, his left eye twitch from the pain he's feeling because of his right eye. Never before has he been hurt or caught off guard, and by a pony of all things, he wouldn't believe it. Still clutching his eye, yellow dragon said "So you took my eye out, for that?!" Saber looked at him like he was stupid.

He nodded "Yes, to both show you not to underestimate me, and understand that I will fully kill you when this is over" hearing saber, yellow dragon felt his scales crawl. He's faced other dragons before, and knew a threat when he hears one, but by saber it sounded more like an intention.

Not skipping a beat, yellow dragon fired more balls of fire at saber. Smiling saber sheathed Uingutaiga, and weaved pass the projectiles easily, flying pass them without a care in the world. Yellow dragon was starting to get nervous "He's dodging my fire balls so easily!? And I can't follow him because of his speed!" Every fire ball missed it's mark because saber was flying faster than yellow dragon could fire.

Saber flew over a fire ball and stood still in the air "Is that really all you got?" He taunted yellow dragon. Being outplayed by a pony, yellow dragon tried something else. He breathed in and fired a stream of fire at saber.

Saber shook his head at the fire breath he predicted would come. He zoomed over and under the attack, getting closer to yellow drake that widen in shock. Flying down, saber slashed yellow dragons chest from the left, sheath his sword, then slashed his stomach from the right making two cuts on his chest and belly area.

The cuts were deep and that shocked and scared yellow dragon. Normal swords couldn't harm an adult dragon like him, if attacked from the stomach it would work because dragons stomachs are softer compared to everything else, but his stomach and chest was slashed by saber leaving a deep wound that shouldn't happen.

Placing his claw on his chest, he could feel his blood going down his chest. Looking at himself, the cut mark broke through his chest, something that was impossible that a dragon could be harmed by a small sword. He took in the pain as he huffed out, moving his body closer to the ground.

"Your bodies weak" he turned to sabers voice. He was sitting on top of another house, looking at yellow dragon "An adult dragons body is suppose to be harder than steel. Well I'm not surprised I cut you, Uingutaiga has cut down many beings, including dragons" saber said that to rile yellow dragon up, so that this fight wouldn't be easy.

But that somewhat did the opposite. Yellow dragon moved his head back at what saber said "Other dragons..... He doesn't mean... He couldn't have!" His mind went haywire, and soon started fighting for a new purpose.

He had to kill saber, because if he doesn't he'll be the one dead. Grabbing a piece of a house, and crushing it in his claws, yellow dragon tried surprise attacking saber by throwing the pieces at him. Saber saw them coming, stood on his hind legs, and cleave through them all using iaijutsu.

Doing so gave yellow dragon a chance to move up on saber. In range he lifted his left claw and sent it at Saber. Speeding right saber dodged the claw as it smashed apart the house. His body a blur as he flew near yellow dragons jaw, and gave him small but deep cuts across his jaw.

He yelled in pain, placing his claws on his mouth, feeling the slash marks and blood that came out of them. Saber wasn't done and flew back, turning his body, saber aimed for a flying kick. He kicked yellow dragon on the neck, the power of the kick together with his speed made it stronger as it sent yellow dragon to the ground, his body hitting the ground caused a rumble affect that scared the ponies that got out of the woods, and waited for saber to win.

Landing on the ground, saber watched as yellow dragon lift himself up slowly. The dragon started sucking in air from the kick saber gave him, the attack making it hard for him to breath. Clearing that up, he tilted his head seeing saber behind him "Knows my chance" he thought.

Moving his tail, yellow dragon sent it at saber. But before the tail could hit him, saber jumped over it. Flying up and over he dropped kicked down on top of his head, crushing yellow dragon head back into the ground. Saber dropped down in a sitting formation on yellow dragons head "You got good endurance, any other opponent would have succumb to their wounds I inflict upon them" saber praised yellow dragon, but to the drake it sounded like he was being mocked at.

Growling, he decided to fight saber in a different way. Opening his wings, he flapped hard blowing away rocks and wood. Saber quickly held on to his head as he picked himself up into the air. Saber let go and flew a good distance away. Yellow dragon glared at saber, his wounds causing him pain, and his right eye feeling numb. He spoke In anger "I will not lose! Dragons are powerful, stronger than every other species on equis" saber tilted his head, not believing him at all.

"Really..... strongest on equis. That's very debatable right know" and he was right, saying such things when losing to something smaller would ask questions. Done talking, yellow dragon started firing fire balls at saber who evaded every single one like before. Yellow dragon flew towards him and tried hitting him up close. Saber dodged his claws and sharp teeth, he parried a few swipes that left yellow dragon confused and shocked by not seeing saber pull his sword out.

Dodging another swipe, saber coated his right hoof in ki, he flew around his arm and up towards his head. Pulling his hoof back, he punched yellow dragon on the cheek. The hit knocked his head to the side and his body downwards. Yellow dragon used his wings to stop his momentum, flying back up.

He placed a claw on his cheek, feeling the pain of his cheek bruising "How is this possible!!! He punched pass my scales, it should have broken his hoof but instead hurt me?!"

Saber smiled at his crazed, shocked look on his face "Suprised? Can't blame you, getting decked by something smaller than you would shock anyone. Bet you feel ashamed getting beaten by me, but don't be, many have experienced the feeling of getting their asses kicked by yours truly"

Both angry, and fearful yellow dragon started charging his breath attack. Saber could see his neck bulge as fire composed inside. His mouth spilled flames that leaked out, saber thought "Finally using something that can actually harm me. To bad that ain't going to happen" placing his hoof on Uingutaiga, saber channeled ki to the sword.

When the bulge in his throat reached his mouth, yellow dragon opened his mouth wide open "This will finish him!" He fired a large stream of fire, bigger than his first one.

Saber clicked Uingutaiga, pulling the sword out, he yelled "Fang Killer" sending a ki blade at yellow dragon. The ki blade sliced and broke apart the stream of fire. It kept on going and slashed diagonally on yellow dragons chest, the power of the attack sent yellow dragon falling to the ground. Crashing back down, yellow dragon lay on his back, the slash on his chest large and gruesome. His body was tired and combined with his bleeding chest he felt his life get colder.

Saber landed back on the ground. He watched yellow dragon twitch and slowly, but painfully get up. Saber would give the dragon credit, he can take a beating but if he wanted to, saber would had ended this way sooner. Yellow dragon finally got back up, not standing on his feet but on all fours.

His arms wobbled as he huffed out. The numb feeling from his right eye still there, not seeing anything from the right side. He could feel his new wound sting and hurt, it made it hard for him to breath most likely suffered internal bleeding. He started crawling towards saber that stood and watched. He stopped in a good distance, opening his mouth he says something that made saber widen his eyes a bit, and look at yellow dragon in disgust.

Yellow dragon said "Please. Let me go, I realise what I did. Let me go and I'll never harm a single pony again" his voice low and pitiful. If saber had hands he would be clenching them by know, he glared at yellow dragon, anger rising in his mind.

"Let you go? LET YOU GO?!" His shout made yellow dragon flinch "Look around at the destruction you caused. So many lives taken because of you, and you what me to let you go? That you realise what you've done" saber stomped his hind hoof, cracking the ground "Hell no, I'll avenge all those you ate, and killed" Saber crouched down in his iaijutsu stance "Killing you is the only way"

Know his one and only chance of leaving the village alive was out the window. Yellow dragon had one option, he cracked the ground with his claws and roared. He went in to move but froze in place, feeling someone on top of his head. When yellow dragon roared, saber used his incredible speed, and appearing on yellow dragons head. He had Uingutaiga out, held high with the blade pointed down as his ki surround the blade. His left hoof near the tip of his blade, aiming where his brain should be.

Yellow dragon didn't move, frozen in place fearing that if he moves, his life would be over. He slowly said "Please...." but saber wouldn't have it.

"Have fun where ever you go, lizard" the ki around Uingutaiga risen, he was ready to kill yellow dragon. Fear taking over him, his whole body started trembled and shook.

In a loud scream, yellow dragon said "No.....!" His voice hitch and silenced. Saber stabbed Uingutaiga thorough his head, piercing his brain inside. His eyes went from pinpricks, to his eyes fading white. His arms dead weight letting the body drop flat on the ground.

Yellow dragon was dead, killed for the deaths he caused in flourish woods. Saber pulled Uingutaiga out of his head, waved the blade sending blood flying off it. Sheathing his sword saber sat down with his hind hooves crossed and his right hoof on his right hind legs, the hoof placed on his cheek as he sat on the dead dragon.

Saber knew the princesses, and maybe the girls with spike will come. So he sat down waiting for them to arrive "They should be getting here soon, I hope spike doesn't hate me for killing one of his kind" saber thought as he waited, surrounded by burned trees and destroyed homes.

The fight was over, but what would the outcome of this finished problem will bring. Will sabers actions cost him or be praised for saving the ponies in flourish woods.

Chapter 3 Judgment, A Tiger Awakens

Outside of the village, ponies from flourish woods listened out for loud crashes and roars from the dragon, but heard nothing. Tailor tie suspected the fight was over, and that maybe saber won because he didn't hear anything from the dragon. Turning towards everypony, tailor tie said "Alright everypony, I believe that our savoir has beaten the dragon, let's head ba-" he stopped when sounds of flapping reached him, and everyponies ears. Looking up, the ponies had smiles on their faces. In the sky, chariots supported by squads of solar Pegasus guards flew over them and headed for the town. The ponies cheered seeing their princesses chariot in the sky.

Blue bolts mother had a smile on her face "Look sweetie! The princesses are here to help use" she waited for her son to respond but got no reply "Blue bolt?" Looking next to her, she gasped when seeing he wasn't by her side. Looking around like a hawk, she saw something blue move pass everypony and run towards the woods heading to the village. She yelled "Blue bolt!" And ran pass everypony. They watched her head into the woods, and followed her knowing that the princesses are here, everything was going to be fine.

Inside the chariot, celestia, luna, the main six, and spike could see the destruction flourish woods was in. Houses destroyed and burned down, the trees in flames as some fell down. The main attention out of all was the dragon on the ground and something sitting on top of it.

Rainbow dash with her peguses eye saw that it was saber sitting on top of the dragons head "I see him, he's sitting on top of its head!" everypony looked where rainbow was looking, wondering why saber was there.

Celestia and Luna knew something was not right, seeing the dragon not move or react to saber on top of him. Celestia told the guards to land near the dragon but not too close. Doing as she said, they landed down and opened the chariot for them, and the guards came out of their chariots following behind them. When getting closer, the guards stood ready if saber tries anything, his presence made their fur stand out, a very weird reaction because of one pony. The group got close and froze seeing the dragon up close.

Spike walked passed them, not seeing what they see and stood near the dragons head "Woah! He's huge, I can't believe you fought this guy" spike looked at his eyes that were closed "How did you get him to fall asleep? It must have been hard to do"

Twilight stuck her hoof towards spike, whispering "Spike...." but because of her bewildered state, she couldn't speak out loud.

Saber looked down at spike, he said seriously "He's not sleeping kid" spike looked up confusingly at saber.

"Huh? But his eyes are closed, and he's laying still how can he not be asle-" saber cut him off.

"Look closer spike" he said simply. Spike looked back at the dragon, his eyes widen when seeing slash and bloody marks on the mouth area, he then notice the dragon wasn't breathing. Spike felt something under his feet, looking down his eyes bugged out and his heart skip a beat at the blood coming from the dragon.

Spike screamed and fell down scooting back. Twilight came to him and hugged her brother, hiding his eyes from the dragon's corpse. Celestia and Luna walked pass twilight and up to saber that stared at both of them, already knowing they are the princesses he was suppose to meet.

Celestia spoke in a serious manner, her eyes showing hostility towards saber "You are saber I presume" saber didn't say anything and jumped down off of yellow dragons head. He strapped Uingutaiga by his side and walked pass both princesses, surprising them at his uninterest towards them. They watched him walk over to twilight and spike.

Few of the guards tried stopping him for ignoring the princesses, but one glare from him made them move away letting him stand close to twilight and spike. But the girls weren't like the guards and surrounded twilight, rainbow flew near saber, not thinking he would harm twilight.

Applejack stood guarding twilight from saber "You stay back! Don't you even get close to spike or I'll buck you to next week!" She threatened.

Saber didn't what to harm her or the rest that might fight him if he gets close, so he stood a good distance, he said "Spike!" He yelled startling the girls, and scaring the guards from his outburst.

Spike gulped and looked back at saber in twilight's hooves, his eyes looking at him in fear that made saber sigh. Saber said "Don't let this confuse you, I'm not a pony that kills others for fun" he pointed his hoof around them "Look around you, the destruction that dragon caused here"

Spike listen and looked around him. Homes destroyed, and burned down, blood coated some parts of the area that unnerved him and everypony. Sabers voice caught his attention. "Do you know why I killed him?" Spike guessed and nodded, saber asked "Why?"

Spike moved a bit away from twilight, his voice was low but he said "B-because of the destroyed homes, a-and fire everywhere" he was surprised when saber shook his head, denying spikes answer.

"No, that's not why I killed him. Homes can be rebuilt and trees can be growed back with care" twilight was the one to ask saber.

Twilight said "Then why?! Why kill another living being!" Saber looked into her eyes, twilight blinked at how justifying his eyes looked.

Saber said "The death of the innocent, that's why" everypony were startled by sabers answer, he wasn't finished "Before I got here" he pointed a hoof at yellow dragon "He killed and ate many ponies before I arrived to stop him. Inside those homes are ponies killed by the fire he burned down, killing them without mercy" the girls gasp and the guards looked around them, piecing together what happened. He looked down at Uingutaiga "Once seeing it, I knew there was no way I was going to let him go free, the lives here needed to be avenged"

Luna didn't think killing the dragon would help in anyway "That may be, but killing the fool would not bring our ponies back from the dead, all you did was kill just like him" she accused saber, stating he was like yellow dragon.

Saber turned his head, looking at her with one eye. Luna felt threatened for some reason, not meeting a samurai for years has made her forgotten how dangerous they can be, saber gave off a powerful intent that suprised the lunar princess.

Saber said "Do you think I don't already know that?! It's not about those that couldn't be saved, killing that dragon was both for those he's killed, and so that he wouldn't be able to do it again" he looked back at spike "I'm sorry spike" this shocked everypony, hearing saber apologize "I don't care that I killed him because he was a dragon, he could have been a pony and I'd still cut him down" what he said scared the guards at how uncaring he sounded.

Saber rubbed his head, he said "What I mean is, he killed ponies that did nothing to deserve it. Bastards like that shouldn't live after committing such actions" He walked close to spike, the purple dragon moving away from twilight as he got closer. Standing in front of spike, saber said "I'm sorry, can you forgive me for ending one of your kind?"

They could tell saber meant every word he said, wanting spikes forgiveness. Spike looked over at yellow dragon, he wiped his tearful eyes, and then looked back at saber "I never met another dragon like myself. I knew what they are thanks to twilight's books inside the library, reading and learning about them. Dragons are jerks, and don't hold any kindness to any creature. Even themselves"

Spike frowned, and looked mad "i'm not happy that you k-killed him" he then looked at saber in reassurance "But I understand why" everypony gasp, except celestia and luna that looked at spike in surprise.

Rarity walked up to spike "But spikey wikey, that dragon is one of your kind?!" spike nodded.

"I know, but saber is right. He attacked this village intent on eating and harming the ponies here. What he did was make sure that he doesn't escape and possibly attack another village like this one" The girls were really shocked to hear this from spike, mostly twilight. Twilight knew that dragons in a young age mature faster than a pony, but hearing spike talk about the death of a dragon, and agree with saber really shocked her.

Saber didn't think spike would forgive him, mostly because he's a kid. He thought spike would be angry and maybe seek vengeance. Saber smiled, he touched his hoof to his chest and bowed in respect "Thank you spike, for forgiving me" spike looked embarrassed at sabers bowing.

Celestia trotted up behind saber, he looked behind him seeing what she wanted. She stopped and asked "If what you say is true, then where are the bodies? You think I would believe your word without proof"

Saber actually did think she wouldn't trust him, because he was an outsiders to her, and her sister "I did, you can take him back and open him up, see if I'm telling the truth or not. Luckily I was able to save a group of ponies before fighting the dragon" celestia raised an eyebrow and before she could speak a young child's voice yelled out.

"Mister swordspony!" They all looked to see a blue furred unicorn colt run towards them, coming out of the woods. Behind him was a light blue furred earth pony mare came out chasing the colt, and behind her a large group of ponies right behind her. Blue bolt dash over, and ran into saber. He didn't budge from the colts tackle, not even feeling it. The citizens cheered that the princesses were here, bowing to celestia and Luna for coming.

The girls watch the young colt hug saber, suprised by the sudden entrance of flourish woods ponies, making sabers claim true that he saved a good amount of ponies from the dragon. Saber grinned at blue bolt, he patted his head "Sup kid, took care of your dragon problem like I said"

Blue bolt moved away from saber, he looked around and gasped when seeing yellow dragon, he didn't even notice his mother reaching him and talking to him. She noticed his focus wasn't on her, she followed his line of sight and gasp at seeing the dragon.

She said "My word! I didn't think it was possible" Soon enough tailor tie and the rest saw the dead dragon, some screamed thinking he was sleeping like spike but were informed he was actually dead. Everypony said their gradatute to saber, praising him for saving them and beating yellow dragon. To the princesses surprise saber smiled and waved off their thanks "It's no problem. I just did what I always do when something like this happens, but thank you, I'm happy to help you all in your dire situation"

A guard walked up to celestia and luna "Princesses what should we do with the..... Dragons body?" He questioned.

Celestia looked at yellow dragon, she was angry that a dragon attacked her, and her sisters ponies. She would have discarded the body but needed answers from dragon king torch "We will be taking the body back to canterlot, we must contact king torch and get answers of why a dragon passed the border" she used her magic to clean off the blood and scars on yellow dragon. Luna then used her magic and with the help of their guards, they strapped and tied yellow dragon to one of the chariots for transport.

Celestia looked at Luna, she knew what her sister wanted and turned towards the guards "All guards head back to the chariots, we are leaving but before we do" her horn glowed and sent out a wave, blowing away any lingering fires, and fixing up the ponies homes.

Luna looked over at tailor tie "We will sent groups of guards and also constructors to help rebuild your village" tailor tie cried in joy, having one of the ponies pat his back in order to calm him down.

But blue bolt knew what that means, he looked up at saber "Your leaving already?" He sounded sad, not whating saber to leave yet. He saw saber as an inspiration, someone that doesn't let anything push him down and fight back, something he admires.

Saber patted his head "Sorry kid, got things to do back at canterlot. I'll maybe visit sometimes, make sure nothing else tries attacking this place" blue bolt was excited to have saber visit.

"Really! You promise?" Blue bolt wanted to make sure saber actually means it, Saber nodded.

"I promise bolt, by my honor I'll come and visit if I have the chance" blue bolt smiled happily and hugged saber again, saber patting his back in return. The sight made the girls smile, and blue bolts mother doing the same. With flourish woods dragon problem done, everypony headed back to the chariots. Saber asked celestia why he should get inside a chariot when he could fly back to canterlot in under a minute.

Celestia said "Me and my sister wish to speak with you. We can pass the time while heading back to canterlot in a normal pace" saber sighed and went to join them inside the chariot, but blue bolts mother stopped saber in his tracks.

"Wait!" He turned to see her speed walking towards him, she stood in front of him "I like to thank you again, for saving my son and our home"

Saber took her thanks "And like I said, it's no problem at all miss"

"Blue pedal, my name is blue pedal. Know don't be a stranger when coming back here, for what you did your friends with everypony in flourish woods, come back when even you can" blue pedal told saber that he was welcomed anytime in flourish woods, making him smile at their kindness.

He said his goodbyes and walked inside a chariot where the princesses, and the girls, and spike were in. Celestia gave the word and they flew off, back to canterlot. Blue bolt stared at the chariot that saber went in, hoping he would come back. Blue pedal grabbed his attention "Come bolt, we need to get things ready for when the builders get here" he walked with his mother towards everypony that started cleaning things up.

Inside the chariot, saber was sitting next to the door, beside him was rainbow dash, next to her was fluttershy, twilight, and pinkie pie. On the other side was celestia and Luna, sitting with applejack, rarity, and spike was sitting on twilight's lap.

Saber looked out the window, looking at the sensory as they move through the sky. Celestia took the moment to talk to saber like she said "Sabertooth, I like to ask you some questions about yourself and about today's.... outcome"

Saber turned away from the window, and looked over at celestia and Luna "Ok, what do you want to know? I'll answer as best I can" saber didn't want to answer questions again, but didn't have any choice in the matter.

Luna spoke first "I want to know how you defeated an adult dragon singlehoof. Not even our best captains of the solar and lunar guards could take on a dragon alone"

Saber looked at her questionably "First off, please don't compare me to your guards that's insulting my skill as a samurai" Luna flinched by sabers rudful reply at her, he spoke in his own none caring and prideful way "Second, You do see my sword by my side right?" He pointed at Uingutaiga, insisting the simple answer of her question.

Luna glared at saber, he didn't feel anything from her sharp glare, not being intimidated by it. Luna said in a mad manner "I can see that. What I mean is how did you win, a dragons body is tough and hard, it surprises me that your sword could actually cut a dragon's scales, but killing one is almost impossible for any normal pony"

Saber grinned "Than it's a good thing I'm no normal pony" he tapped Uingutaiga "Uingutaiga is not a regular katana, she's been pass down through out my clan over the years. Made to be used by a warrior, skilled and strong willed to use her" the girls, and spike looked at Uingutaiga, hearing and listing about the lore if his sword.

Rainbow said "That's so cool! How did you beat him tho, you couldn't have just swung your sword at him?" Saber answered her question, telling them about what happened between him and yellow dragon, and how it ended making their eyes widen.

Fluttershy whispered "Oh my......" looking horrified from what saber said. The rest were able to handle it in better terms. Spike on the other hand looked distant, catching twilight's attention.

"Spike, what's wrong?" Spike stayed silent for a bit, but then he spoke out towards saber, asking him a question of his own.

"Saber..... d-did he try getting away. Did h-he apologize for what he did at least?!" Saber and everypony else looked over at spike, he sounded unpleased and hopeful.

Saber looked away at first "Yeah he did, saying sorry about attacking flourish woods and eating the ponies there" they all looked suprised at what saber said, celestia and Luna were going to question the reason why he still killed yellow dragon after he apologized, but saber said "But in truth he didn't mean it" the princesses froze up, stopping themselves at what he said.

Applejack said "What? How did you know he was lying" saber turned back towards them.

"Because of his eyes. They didn't show any mercy or passion at all, he looked scared and cornered. He only said that so he could escape, thinking I would let him go for saying sorry" saber sneered, he looked disgusted "Such thinking really shows a person's true colors. The eyes of any being can show what they think or feel"

Applejack understood what saber said, she's used the same trick when seeing if somepony was lying to her or her friends, the element of honesty giving her a more open thought on those that don't tell the truth. Spike nodded and looked away, thinking about some think else.

Celestia coughed in her hoof "Well it is normal for those who are terrified to try and escape in any way. I like to know why somepony like you, sabertooth is here in this part of equestria?"

Saber said simply "Traveling" everypony blinked at the simple answer.

Twilight said "Traveling?" Thinking saber was here for some other reason except that. He nodded and looked out the window.

"Yeah, got bored and wanted to see what's out there. Beyond neiapone and maybe get hired to help out anypony in need" saber this time was lying completely and didn't want to look at them, possibly giving off he wasn't telling the truth.

Celestia and Luna raises an eyebrow at saber, applejack startled and looked at saber in suspension. Celestia asked "And what kind of job are you thinking, what is it that you do?"

Saber said "I'm a hired mercenary that deals with anything harmful and dangerous, anything like bandits and monsters here or there" everypony except rainbow dash said "What!!" Eyes widen in shock.

As time goes by, the chariots were getting closer to canterlot. Things have been hectic for over the two days in equestria, but something far worse will happen in due time. Somewhere far from any pony settlement, between the griffon country and within the dragon border a black panther wearing dark leather clothing was hiding on top of a tree, watching and inspecting teen dragons flying around.

He was listing off ones fit for control, once done he placed his paw on the side of the tree, and fused inside it. Far away from where he was, he warped out of the ground and started walking away, heading out of the dragon border. He pulled out a good sized crystal, putting his ki into it the crystal swirled and a person's face appeared. It was hard to see because of the darkness shadowing his face.

"Master I've completed my tasked and listed off those strong enough to be controlled" he said to the hidden person.

The being smiled, showing rose of sharp white teeth "Good work pantheon. With that done we can soon finish building the fortress, then the plan will come together. Come back, igeor will need the list to format the plan"

Pantheon bowed is head "Yes master" the crystal shut off, just when something landed down behind him. Pantheon turned his head slowly, seeing a dark green teen dragon looking at him.

The teen smirked "Well, well, never seen anything like you before. I knew I'd find something to eat sooner or later" his wings rose to show dominance, but pantheon only looked at him in bordem.

He turned his body towards him, his eyes even at his neck. Teen dragon notice him not looking scared and growled "Hey I'm talking to you! You better be strong, I hate weak pre-" he was silenced when something flew at him, hitting his neck.

Looking down his eyes widen when seeing a long dagger sticking inside his neck. He couldn't breath and started losing oxygen. Dropping down to his knees, teen dragon clutched the dagger and was going to pull it out, but pantheon appearing next to him grabbed his claw and prevented him from touching the dagger. The teen stared up at pantheon in complete fear. Grabbing the dagger pantheon started slowlying pushing it deeper inside his neck. He tried stopping him but couldn't match in strength against pantheon.

Pantheon said just as teen dragons life was over "Funny, I hate weak prey to" he shoved the dagger deep, killing the green teen dragon. He pulled his dagger out, and left the body on the ground, warping through the ground and leaving the dragon border easily.

Back at canterlot, saber and the rest of the group had to stay in canterlot, having to sleep inside one of the castles bedrooms. Saber was annoyed that he had to persuade celestia, and Luna that he wasn't a sick and twisted pony mercenary.

The guards were sent away, and some returning to their tasks at guarding a certain part of the castle. Saber right know was inside his room, laying down looking up at the ceiling, thinking about today's sudden outcome "Damn, today was really interesting. Answering questions, learning how to fly, getting friendly with rainbow and kicking her flank at that race" he chuckled at the memeroy " Then having to head to canterlot to meet the princessss" he frowned "Only then flying to flourish woods, and killing a dragon terrorizing the place"

Saber sighed, he said "Not like my real home, but has almost similar problems. Another kill and it's a dragon" he looked over at Uingutaiga, that was resting by his bed "She should be waking up soon" he turned away and laid sideways, closing his eyes and falling asleep "Time to give her a warm welcome" he smiled as he fell asleep.

Inside luna's room, she was still angry at saber for talking back to her. She has never been rudely spoken by anypony before, until know. Luna stomped her hoof "I will stand for this! What could sister be thinking, letting a samurai mercenary inside the castle!"

She went and sat on her bed "He can't be here just to travel, no pony from neiapone would come here. He has to be hiding something" she rubbed her chin. Luna soon knew what to do, and laid down "I'll just look into his dreams. May find something from his memories" with the idea Luna quickly fell asleep and her magic activated.

A fragment of herself left out of her body, She was know in her dream realm. Flying around, she found the main six doors leading to their dreams. Moving through Luna found a door she's never seen before. The door was black, with swirls of white and turquoise, at the top there was a painted white tiger looking down at Luna.

She knew this was sabers door instantly "Interesting, this does show much of him. Seeing him first hand reminded me of a wild animal instead of a pony" she walked up to the door "I'll learn everything I need to know about you saber, and find what I want to know" she reach out, and when she touched the door it lit up, startling Luna before blasting her away.

"Auhh!" She fell back, hitting the ground and feeling pain all over her body. Laying on the ground, luna waited for the sudden pain to leave before getting up. She huffed and looked at the door in shock.

"What just happened?! How is this possible!" Her mind went through any possible way how saber door knocked her away. That's when it hit her "Impossible! His mind is guarded, he somehow created a barrier to protect his mind from any intruders?!" She tested this by firing a blast of her magic at the door. The magic blast got destroyed, showing a barrier surrounding the door, then a image of the head of the white tiger appeared in the front. The eyes glowed as a warning.

Luna was stumped, she has never been denied entrance to someponies dreams. She's never met such strong protection that could prevent her from bypassing a ponies mind. Luna was know pissed, she glared daggers at the door "You think this will stop me! I am princess Luna, ruler of the moon and I will enter your dreams samurai!" She fired a large beam at the door, trying her best to possibly break it.

Inside about 10 minutes before Luna tried entering his dreams, saber opened his eyes finding himself not a pony but in his human form, standing as he always did when entering his mindscape. The first thing he sees is a large white furred tiger with black strips curled up on the floor. Seeing this made him smile, and walked over to the large animal.

On its back was two large wings that twitch every few seconds. Getting close saber stopped, standing close to the tiger, he said "Uingutaiga, wake up. You can't greet me if your fake sleeping"

He heard a womanly giggle that made him smile wider. Uingutaiga turned around facing him, she had stripes on her face, and two large fangs just like a sabertooth tiger. She smiled at him in a joyful manner, she said "You always know what I'm doing, saber...." her voice was older but music to someone's ears, she spoke like a mother reminding him of blue pedal.

Saber said nothing, he walked up and hugged Uingutaiga's head. He rubbed his face against her soft, warm fur. She purred and said "I'm back saber, and I'm not leaving ever again" Uingutaiga promised him, knowing how much worried he was when her presence faded away from their battle against a powerful demon two years ago.

The claw scar on his right cheek felt different to him, it always made him remember that day, like a recorder playing back over, and over. But know the thought of it didn't matter to him, saber was happy that his partner was finally back "I'll hold to you in that, you big white furball"

She laughed and knocked him up into the air with her head. Turning her body, knowing laying back, saber fell back down onto her stomach. Her body making his fall furry and soft. Saber knew she would do that and let her, him and Uingutaiga share a link with each other, knowing what the other will do at a single thought.

Saber could sleep on Uingutaiga any time of the day of she was in reality, but she is his sword, a spirit created by his clan for who ever that is worthy of wielding her. He sighed in bliss "I missed how soft and warm you are, can't believe I'm missing the cuddles you give me"

Uingutaiga talked back, sassy like "Oh really, you just missed my body then. Shame on you saber, a women like me need to be look upon from other than that" he knew she wasn't mad, and that she also missed being close like this.

Saber chuckled "Don't worry taiga, I'm not the kind of guy that does something like that" he felt her lick his head, messing up his hair but not minding it.

"You better" she then started rocking themselves back and forth, she asked "So what did I miss over the two years of my sealing?" Sabers eyes widen, knowing he was going to have to tell her about that.

She felt him get a bit nervous and looked away from her, giving her sign's that something was wrong or he was hiding something from her that really got her suspicious. Uingutaiga said "Saber...... what are you hiding" he got startled. Saber knew there was no way he could hide anything from her know that she is back.

Sighing saber said "Fine I'll tell you, but please don't think I'm messing with you. Everything I'm about to say is true and I'll even show you my memories" Uingutaiga raised an eyebrow at how annoyed saber sounded about this, she nodded and then saber started telling her about what happened to him in a short time.

After show Uingutaiga his memories of him turning into a pony, meeting the girls, and also the princesses, not to mention the creatures he's slain, Uingutaiga was truly shocked. She couldn't believe it but because she and him are linked there was no reason for saber to lie to her.

Uingutaiga blinked, she said "Wow.... I can't- this is crazy! How are you feeling becoming a pony saber?" She had to ask, whating to know if he's having a hard time with his new body.

Saber shrugged "Its not so bad" he turned himself into his pony form "I was able to learn how to walk easily, and flying is awesome!' he jumped, flying around in his mindscape. Uingutaiga rolled her eyes, remembering the times she's told him about how free creatures feel when flying through the sky's.

Uingutaiga watched him soar around "I can see that as a plus sign, but this is really bad. Is there any way we can get back to our world?" She asked hopefully.

Saber landed back on the ground, turning back into his human form "The only thing I can think of is finding those assholes and try forcing them into making that damn machine again" that was sabers only hope of possibly returning to his world. Sadly every situation has it's ups, and downs "But I have no clue where they are. After being transported into equestria, I got placed inside a forest, no where near them. They can be somewhere far off in this world and I wouldn't know how long it would take to track them down" saber groaned in aggravation.

Uingutaiga replayed a memeroy of saber getting sucked into the machine, then waking up inside a forest by himself "This is truly a unfortunate struck of luck on use. If their our only hope of getting back, then finding them and both dealing with them will not work"

Saber waved her off "Work with them? I rather kick their asses and force that smug jerk to make another one and send use home!" Uingutaiga smiled at saber entices, she's truly missed his blunt and out going nature.

She agreed with him "Sounds right to me, but like you said, we have no ways in knowing where they are" saber seemed to think and thought of something. Their link showed what saber was thinking and she looked questionable at him "Do you really think they'll do that?"

He nodded "Completely. Think about it, his plan was to conquer the world by somehow sucking in our world's energy and transferring it to him. This world has much more energy than our, I could even feel it. He's most likely going to recreate his damn toy, and try sucking in this world energy instead" saber thought this out and it made sense to him. Zayn looked like the type to follow his goals none stop, and with equestria giving off more energy he'll try taking it believing it would be greater than their world's energy.

Saber said "Looking for him would take very long thanks to me not knowing nothing about this world's or it's inhabits besides the ponies that I barely know. We'll wait for him to revel himself, he probably doing something as we speak" saber trusted his thoughts and went with his plan.

Uingutaiga trusted saber greatly and followed his idea. She snickered "Actually you mean sleeping, because we're inside your mind sort to speak" saber looked at her, deadpan looking at her annoyingly.

Saber said "You know what I mean, you dang cat" she giggled at his comment. Her giggling stopped when they both felt something "Taiga what was that?"

Her eyes looked serious, she felt outside of sabers mindscape "There's someone trying to get inside your mind but failed" she then slightly wince "And know trying to get in by force"

Saber was intrigued by this. The only time something like this happened is when he faced a dream demon trying to enter his mind a long time ago. He said "Can you see who's doing this" she nodded and her body started to glow in a turquoise color like sabers aura. Her turquoise eyes glowed, and she could see outside of sabers mind and who was trying to bypass her defenses.

She looked suprised and tilted her head "Its a pony, but she looks different from the ones you showed me. Actually looks like the ones with both horns and wings"

Saber interest peaked at the information "Can you describe what she looks like?" He knew the person was female, and had to be either princess celestia or Luna.

Uingutaiga described the pony "Her fur is dark blue, and her mane is wavy and black with stars on it. She has a butt tattoo like you, but hers is a moon with black splashes around it"

Saber rubbed his hair in thought "So it's princess Luna. She has the ability to enter people's minds, or in simpler terms a person's dreams when that person is sleeping. Interesting...." he looked up at Uingutaiga "Do you think she will break through your barrier?"

She scoffed "Nope, it would take her years to take down my protection barrier. I barely felt the beam she fired, and she already looks tired" blinking her eyes returned to normal.

Saber walked over to her, Uingutaiga knew what he was going to do and moved down, laying on the ground. He turned and jumped backwards, landing on her side and relaxing in position "Good, I can chill with you until the sun comes up" he placed his hand behind his head, spreaded his legs and laid in bliss on Uingutaiga.

She smiled motherly and sighed "Sounds like a plan, chosen one" she whispered out so saber couldn't hear. They both relaxed together as time went by, and Luna very soon gave up returning to her main body and heading to bed a lot earlier than her usual runs. She was going to tell celestia everything about what happened.
