Currently, it is the Year of 2020 at night on the Californian coast, if one was close to the coast, they would hear the distant explosions coming from it. If they were even closer, they'd be able to see the bright lights flashing around. If one was crazy enough to be even closer, they would feel the rumbling of the earth and hear the voice of a young man, screaming out loud.

"STAAAAAAAAAAAIN!" A young man shouted in rage while flying towards the other middle-aged scarred man at a speed that would seem like a blur to any normal humans. "Don't you dare run away from me!"

The scar-faced man now known as Stain turns towards the young man whilst also flying and speaks in a mocking tone, "And who said I was running?" Then his eyes started glowing light blue and spears of ice were formed around him and was shot towards the young man.

The young man clicked his tongue and his anger-filled eyes also started glowing, but in brown, "You know such petty tricks won't work on me Stain!" While saying this, pieces of earth and cement shot towards the spears of ice, shooting them down. "Get over here and fight me properly you coward!" The young man all but shouted.

Hearing this, the man called "Stain" stopped and turned to the young man with an arrogant look, "Sure, I guess playtime is over? Or was it already over when I killed them?" Stain smirked whilst looking at the young man.

The young man seemingly got even angrier at that and started glowing in all kinds of colors with his eyes glowing brighter as the air around him seemed to start vibrating.

But Stain, who didn't finish talking yet, also started glowing like the young man, and spoke, "Or was it when I killed HER?"

"STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN!!!" The young man shouted whilst charging towards Stain surpassing the speed of sound, causing a sonic boom. The young man covered his right arm in a transparent aura, causing it to bulge with muscle, and punched Stain's face with all his might, causing yet another sonic boom.

Stain was then shot back grunting in pain, he then stopped himself mid-air and shot back towards the young man, while coating his knee in the same transparent aura, and kneed him in the gut, causing the young man to be shot upwards. But Stain wasn't done, he started charging purple lightning around him whilst his eyes turned to the color of the lightning.

While that was happening, the young man stopped himself from further going up and spewed a bit of blood from his mouth. He then shook his head and looked towards Stain, only to see him pointing his index and middle finger at him while covered in purple lightning. The young man's eyes widened and crossed his arm in front of him in a protective manner, and started covering his arm in the same transparent aura.

Then, with a loud cry of "DIE!!!" from Stain a huge stream of lightning, huge enough to light up the night, shot towards the young man in split seconds, hitting the young man causing a loud explosion, causing a large amount of smoke where the young man had been.

When Stain saw that, he smirked evilly. Thinking he had won, he tried to turn around but found himself unable to move even an inch. When he started wondering why he heard a voice behind him, a voice that he knew too well...

"Hey, Shit Stain....." The young man rasped behind him, straining himself with both of his arms charred, because of the lightning. Stain, whilst straining his neck, looked at the arms with a questioning look, wondering something, until the young man started to speak, "You might be wondering why my healing is not kicking in, am I right?" The young man didn't hear any affirmation from Stain but knew he was right, "Well..... I'm concentrating my Psi right now....." Stain smirked thinking it was because the young man holding him down, "And If your thinking it's because I'm holding you down, then no, I'm concentrating only a little amount to hold you. The rest...... I think you might know......" The young man smirked.

Stain's face started to pale, as he seemed to realize something and started to desperately try escaping.

"You see..... I know you're practically immortal, with an unlimited amount of Psi energy that you stole, healing you and all that....." The young man started to bleed from all his seven orifices, "Cough Hack!... So I thought..... What wo- Hrk! What would happen if I shred every last of atoms that you're made up of with a nice Bang? Well..... Let's find out..... Shall we?" The young man finished with a toothy smile and started glowing brightly.

Stain started to try even harder to move, trying to break from the young man's telekinesis desperately to run away.

"Sigh............" The young man looked up at the night sky with a sigh and enjoyed the beautiful night sky, enjoying it for what could be the last time, and when the light, space, and the air started to distort around him and Stain, he closed his eyes with a smile and said.

"What a beautiful night..."

BOOOOOOOM!!!!!

The bright sphere of light erupted from the young man and started to expand, disintegrating everything it touches until it was the size of a small city, and promptly collapsed in itself and disappeared without a trace.

The next day's news channels would be filled with the bright dome of light that illuminated during the night and the disappearance of it along with more than half of the coast near Santa Monica.

Unknown location

"Groan" a groaning voice would-be heard from deep inside a forest. The forest was full of bristling sounds of leaves, small critters skittering, and birds chirping. "So, noisy......." A familiar voice said in a tired tone. "Where am I?" This voice came from a Caucasian male with blue eyes and 6ft 4in tall with a lean athletic build and golden/brown with blended shortcut hair, "Wait..." The young man suddenly said, stood up, and scanned his surroundings. "Where am I?" Then suddenly, memories came rushing forward, making him close his eyes and clutch his head in pain.

After a while, his eyes shot open with confusion, "How am I even alive? The Psi overload was supposed to kill me, without even leaving a speck of me." The young man looked around his body, he wore a brown leather jacket over a white T-shirt and blue jeans with a belt. "Clothes are fixed, and my body seems to longer sustain any injuries...... What the hell is going on?"

The young man looked around the forest, "Did I teleport to somewhere? If I did, then wher-"

The young man suddenly snaps his neck towards his right, 'Something is coming, approximately 50 meters from my right, a group?' The young man started accelerating his thinking while he started enhancing himself and coated his arms in purple lightning, making his eyes glow purple, 'I feel hostile intentions from these..... things, are they wild animals? A pack of wolves? No, it somehow feels...... different.....?'

The young man lowered his balance while widening his stance, counting down the distance between him and the pack of wild animals, "40...... 30....... 20....... 10,9,8,7,6,fi-.....? What the fuck.....?"

GROWLS

The young man lowered his balance while widening his stance, counting down the distance between him and the pack of wild animals, "40...... 30....... 20....... 10,9,8,7,6,fi-.....? What the fuck.....?"

GROWLS

(Present)

The young man was dumbfounded, which made him subconsciously turned off his auras and lightning and put his accelerated thinking into overdrive, 'HOW is this... WHY is there a... WHAT is...' The young man was submerged in his confused thoughts, the reason was because of the growling wolf looking creatures in front of him, but that was it, its features were the only thing that looked like a wolf, these weren't actual wolves. No, far from it, these were amalgamations of all kinds of plants and barks meshed up into a wolf looking, creature. But that wasn't why the young man was confused. No, he was confused because he knew what these creatures were. 'These are Timberwolves!!! But..... that's impossible! These creatures only exist at the... Kingdom... of............ Equestria?' The young man's eyes were widened at what was the conclusion of his accelerated thinking.

As the young man was about to start doubting his own sanity, but alas, before he could do that, one of the timberwolves lunged towards him. The young man, still in Thought Acceleration, sensed this from a mile away and quickly enhanced his body, spun around and punched it on the head with an enhanced right hook. And with a loud snap, it was broken/shattered into many pieces, thinking that he was done he was about to take care of the others. But, with great surprise and wide eyes, the supposedly destroyed timberwolf was slowly putting itself back together. His doubting mind now proven wrong, the young man started thinking, 'Well..... that confirms one thing, it's an actual timberwolf...... shit.....' The young man sighed and put his hands in his pockets. 'Well... At least I now know how to deal with them.....' With that thought, the young man's eyes turned reddish-orange, and used his Pyrokinesis to conjure balls of flame around him, then he started speaking, "Let's see if you build yourself back from the-"

Whimper.....

The young man was stopped by a small sound.

'What the?'

He then enhanced his hearing and sensing.

.........Whimper...........

The young man turned towards the sound and saw the source of the sound, a timberwolf pup,  a very malnourished pup, if its dry vines, crispy looking leaves, and bark losing its color was indicating anything. He then looked towards the other timberwolves, looking equally or more malnourished. He put his hands on his temple, sighing, and started walking towards the pup, the timberwolves noticing him moving, tried to lunge at him. But found themselves unable to, it was because he was holding them down using his Telekinesis, while they were confused, the young man already got close to the pup and reached his hands towards it.

The pup, seeing this, started growling instead of whimpering, and jumped towards his hands and biting it with all of its strength. The young man was now surprised, not because he was bitten, but because it was so weak, it was barely enough to pierce the average human skin, let alone an enhanced one. The young man, now with a determined look, channeled his healing towards the pup and all the other timberwolves.

Right after when he started channeling healing, a noticeable change started to show on the timberwolf pack. Their vines started to look healthy, the leaves started to look moist, and the barks covering them were getting stronger, all in all, they have become healthy. The pup noticing this, let go of his hand and looked at the young man in mild confusion. "You feeling better their little guy?" He said while petting its head, the pup somehow understanding he helped it, barked, and started nuzzling his hands in gratitude.

The young man, whilst he was petting, started thinking again, 'Now the whole debacle is finished...... HOW is this happening? Timberwolves were supposed to be fictional creatures from the kids' show "My Little Pony"! They aren't supposed to be real...... Right?' 

The young man was going to yet again submerge into his thoughts, but before that could happen, he was snapped out of his thoughts by a small bark. The young man looked down and saw the pup now pointing his paw towards something, the young man was confused seeing this, "Little guy what are you pointing a-......" The young man looked towards where the pup pointed and saw the still motionless group of the pup's timberwolf pack members.

"...... Sorry, kind of forgot about them, don't worry, I'll let them go after I leave this place. Something tells me that they are not as smart you are." The young man said, still sensing hostile intentions from most of them. The pup, understanding this, nodded its head. When he saw this, he also nodded, while standing up, "Well, it was nice meeting you little guy, something tells me that you will be a good alpha with that head on your shoulders. So, lead these knuckleheads well when that happens, will ya?" The pup nodded, "Very well, hope I see you later again in a better circumstance than this." The pup barked happily, "Yeah, it will be a promise. Now, see you next time little guy!" after finishing his talk, the man then started to float, making the pup's green glowing eyes go wide as he flew away, leaving the now surprised pup with its pack.

(In the air above the forest)

The now flying young man was deep in thought again, 'This can't be real, can it? I mean these timberwolves could be someone else's Chlorokinesis, right?' The young man then scoffed at himself, 'Yeah..... I've read too much fan-fictions to know where this is going......' The young man then sighed and spoke, "So, as ridiculous as it sounds, it seems that I somehow got myself magically transported to Equestria after my death......"

The young man started frowning and stopped himself in midair, "Why....." The young man spoke, tears were threatening to come out from his eyes, "Why am I alive? I've got nothing left, so why? Why am I still alive and kicking?" The young man said while looking up to the sky, "Am I supposed to start helping the ponies now?" The young man scoffed at the word, "Am I suppose to be the HERO in a land of Fairytales now?" The young man said in a tone of rage, his face contorted in anger, while tears were already falling, "Should I swoop down from the skies and save children from burning buildings!?" The young man's voice started to rise while the air around him started to vibrate, "Should I be a knight in shining armor, saving the damsel in distress!!!???" The young man was now shouting out loud in a voice full of anger, "LIKE HELL I"LL EVER DO THAT STUPID SHIT EVER AGAIN!!! ALL THAT PAIN AND SUFFERING WASN'T WORTH IT AT AL-"

[FLASHBACK]

"Don't you ever say it's stupid...... Don't you dare say "it's not worth it"...... Being a hero and saving people is never wrong...... Promise me, whatever happens, you won't stop losing hope in the ideals of being a hero...... Promise me..................."

[END OF FLASHBACK]

"............." The young man was now silent, deep in thought remembering about all the times she talked about the ideals of being a hero to him, and all the times they spent together, and the last promise he made with her.

"...........Nicole.........."

The young man continued to stay floating, silent, clenching his teeth and letting tears from his face. 

(Time Skip)

After a while, the young man seeming to have finished collecting himself and stopped crying. Wiping his tears away with a determined look. "Nicole...... I will keep your promise, I won't let go nor lose hope on the ideals you have taught me...... I'll keep on believing in HEROES that you have believed in......."

The young man, now looking more determined than ever, took a deep breath and started concentrating on his sensing. 'Since I'm in Equestria, I'll have to look for Ponyville and introduce myself to the Mane 6. I mean...... it would be weird when an alien bipedal creature pops out of nowhere and starts saving them.' He smirked at himself and started sensing for a location that is the nearest and has the largest amount of energy movements. 'Aha! there it is! That must be Ponyville and these movements must be the ponies which are... running?... Hmm... That's odd, and then more than half of the energy signatures moving in an erratic way, just like........." The young man's face suddenly paled, eyes going wide, and whispered to himself, "Fire......" 

The young man, fearing the worst, quickly broke through the sound barrier and rushed/flew towards the direction of Ponyville with a loud sonic boom. 

BOOOOOOM!!!!!!!

BOOOOOOM!!!!!!!

(Present)

(Currently in Ponyville)

Fire, bright red, hot flames were burning the houses to ashes. Screams, screams of all kinds were heard throughout the village. Fires and screams were plaguing Ponyville. But the worst of all were the creatures attacking the village, these vile creatures were four-legged flaming hounds will large sharp teeth protruding from its mouth. These hounds were large 4ft tall and 6ft long, making you think twice before fighting them.

BANG!!!

A purple bolt of light came flying from the side, hitting the hound on its head and killing it and started to disintegrate. If one looked at where the bolt came from, they would see a figure. The figure was clearly female, she had light purple fur covering her whole body, with a 5ft 9in lean figure that had C- cup breasts, and wore a dark purple T-shirt, with a beige skirt that reaches right above her knees. She had black and purple eyes on her face. A horn on her head and a blue mane with two streaks, one pink, one purple. On her back, she had a pair of wings about 3ft in length each, which seemed to be a bit small to carry her. At the base of her back, she had a tail that has the same color scheme as her hair and hooves at the base of her legs. This was Twilight Sparkle, a pony, also known as; "Element of Magic", "Leader of the Mane 6", and the "Princess of Friendship". 

BZZZT!

She was preparing to fire another bolt at the hound on top of a roof but quickly stopped, hearing a growl behind, and turned back. It was another hell hound, which lunged forward and aimed to bite her neck off. Twilight, seeing this closed her eyes, unable to protect herself in such short notice.

"OH NO YOU DON'T!!!"

WHOOSH!!!

A rainbow blur suddenly came out of nowhere and went past through the hell hound and cut it into 4 pieces, this blur was a pony holding 2 daggers. The pony had cyan fur covering her whole body, she was 5ft 8in lean athletic figure with B-cup breasts, and wore a black tank top, with a black high waist denim shorts. She had black and magenta eyes and an unkempt mane with all the colors of the rainbow. She also had a 3ft long pair of wings on her back and a tail that was also the colors of the rainbow. This was Rainbow Dash, "Fastest Flyer of Equestria", and the "Element of Loyalty".

Twilight, opening her eyes, seeing what happened, sighed, and looked towards 
and thanked Rainbow Dash, "Thanks, Dash!" Twilight thanked Rainbow.

"No prob! I got your back!" Rainbow replied, puffing her chest out.

Twilight then searched for other hounds and saw one on the roof that she forgot about, readying itself jump on Rainbow dash. "Rainbow watch out!"

Rainbow turned around with confusion, "Huh?" She noticed it too late, the hound jumped, teeth out, and ready to take her down.

Then suddenly a figure of a pon came out of nowhere, jumped high, and spin kicked it towards the ground, this pony, which was a "she", then landed on the ground with a "superhero landing". She was an orange-colored pony with a 6ft tall athletic figure on the muscular side with D-cup breasts and wore a white shirt inside a red, white checkered sleeve shirt without buttons on and a denim short jeans. She had black and green eyes, with freckles under them and a yellow mane, with a cowgirl hat and some of her hair tied back behind her head. She did not have wings nor horns, but she had muscular legs that could crush anything. This was Applejack, "Owner of Sweet Apple Acres", and the "Element of Honesty".

"And who's gonna have yours?" Said Applejack in a southern accent. 

"Hey! I could have handled that!" Rainbow huffed and crossed her arms. 

"Sure...." Said Applejack, with a roll of her eyes. 

"Applejack!" Applejack turned and looked towards Twilight.

"Weren't you supposed to evacuate ponies to Sweet Apple Acres, away from the Gate Break?" Twilight said with worry toward Applejack, 

Seeing this Applejack replied, "Don't worry sugar cube, Mac, Flutters, and Rarity has that handled. Thought y'all needed some help..." Applejack then looked towards Rainbow and said, "And it seems ya needed it."

Twilight seemed to sigh in relief and Rainbow seemed insulted and spoke back, "Hey! I told you I had it handled!" Applejack yet again rolled her eyes and replied with a "Sure..." again.

While those two started bickering with each other, Twilight seemed to widen her eyes noticing something, and hurriedly asked her friends, "Wait, have you guys seen Pinky?" Both of them looked at each other than at Twilight and shook their heads. Twilight, seeming to get worried for her energetic friend started talking to herself, "Then where is sh-"

"WOOHOO!!!"

BOOOM!!!!!!

3 of the Mane 6 looked at the approaching figure of a pony that was on a cannon with wheels, shooting confetti while swinging her giant, pink, cake themed hammer around. She was a pink pony and had a bit of pudge but overall had a muscular 6ft tall figure with J-cup breasts. She wore a white T-shirt with short blue sleeves with a cupcake drawn on it and had a triple-layered frilly skirt of different colors of pink. She had black and light-blue eyes and a wide, toothy grin on her face, and dark pink poofy hair. This was Pinkamena Dia-"It's Pinkie Pie!" .........Ahem. This was Pinkie Pie, "The Party Planner", and th- "Also the best friend of whoever comes to ponyvill-!" LET ME FINISH!"...Okay!"......AHEM.... as I was saying, also known as the "Element of Laughter".

"Thanks for the great introduction Author!" .......Pinkie....... "Okay! No more breaking the 4th wall!" Sigh..... Thank you!

Pinkie then looked away from whatever she was looking at and saw her friends, happy to see them, pinkie put her party cannon inside her mane (Defying all the god damn logic) and skipped towards her friends, "Hey guys!"

Twilight, seeing this couldn't help but ask, "Pinkie! where were you? I thought I told you to help Applejack evacuate the villagers!"

Pinkie then looking at Twilight, talked like she had asked something obvious, "Why I went back to grab my party cannon and cake hammer, silly!"

Twilight was going to ask more questions but was stopped by Rainbow, "Uh..... Guys? We got company!" The group, hearing her looked towards where Rainbow was looking and widened their eyes.

Far away down the village, the group could see an endless horde of Hellhounds rushing towards their direction. Seeing this, the ponies were about to run but was stopped by Twilight, "Wait! If we run now, the Gate Mosters will head for Sweet Apple Acres! We have to buy time until Princess Celestia's reinforcements come over to close the Gate!" The group, after hearing her words nodded and prepared themselves, Rainbow Dash, held her daggers in reverse grip and put her left dagger near her chin and her right pointed towards the horde, Applejack held her both fists near her face and put her right hoof forward and left hoof behind, Pinkie Pie took out her party cannon and aimed towards the horde and gripped her hammer with both hands with a toothy smile on her face, and lastly, Twilight Sparkle started charging her horn with a spell, which made her eyes started to glow.

The group watched the horde coming ever closer with bated breath, Pinkie and Twilight were about to start shooting but was stopped because of a small Rumble from above them. The group looked up to the source and saw dark clouds forming above the hoard at a fast pace but what caught their attention was a large, crackling ball of purple lightning just below the clouds. Twilight, seeing this couldn't help but ask, "What is that?". Then, as if waiting for her to say that, the ball of purple lightning shot towards the horde of Hellhounds and landed in the middle of it with a bright light of a lightning strike and a loud sound of a thunderclap. Which made them cover their ears and close their eyes.

KRAKOOOM!!!!!!

The girls, with ringing ears, slowly opened their eyes and saw a tall figure, still sparkling with electricity in the middle of the disintegrated horde of Hellhounds. The tall figure, which they could now identify as him, turned around and asked in a subtle but loud enough voice for them to hear through the ringing of their ears, "......Are you guys ponies?"

KRAKOOM!!!!!!

The girls, with ringing ears, slowly opened their eyes and saw a tall figure, still sparkling with electricity in the middle of the disintegrated horde of Hellhounds. The tall figure, which they could now identify as him, turned around and asked in a subtle but loud enough voice for them to hear through the ringing of their ears, "......Are you guys ponies?"

[Minutes before his "shocking" entrance]

(In the air, on the way to Ponyville)

Our protagonist can now be seen flying towards Ponyville at a speed of sound, with a face full of confusion. 'What is happening? I don't remember any great fires at Ponyville in the canon plotline? Did my arrival change something? No, it's too early for that. Then what is it?' He kept on wondering about it in his mind and rushed towards Ponyville. When he got close enough to sense everything in Ponyville clearly of all the structures and what's happening in the village in detail.

But when he sensed the ponies and the horde of hellhounds he paused in midair with a confused expression donned on his face. "What in the world?" He muttered. 'I don't remember ponies walking on two legs..... They are freaking bipedal! And what are those creatures? Flaming hounds? I don't remember that from the show? What the hell is going on?' As he was about to be consumed by his confused thinking, he suddenly noticed the hellhounds moving in the direction of what he assumed was the "Sweet Apple Acres". But he also noticed the group of ponies that seemed to be bent on fighting the horde to protect the ponies? that took refuge at the farm. Seeing this, the young man pushed his thoughts aside and accelerated to the clouds above the horde with a plan in his mind.

A second later, the young man started concentrating on the clouds over Ponyville, while using Electrokinesis to surround his body with purple lightning. When a sufficient amount of clouds were formed over Ponyville he manipulated the water droplets and ice crystals to hit each other to make additional lightning for him to use. As the preparations were done, he went over the horde and shot himself towards the horde in the crackling ball of lightning with a loud crash.

KRAKOOM!!!!!!

Needless to say, the horde was decimated, while the nearest ones to the impact were all turned to ash and the ones far away had their internal organs fried, making them drop dead and start to dissipate. 

'Huh, they dissipate when they die, are they magical?' The young man thought before noticing gazes that were sent at him from the group that he saved, he then spun around towards the group. He, of course, recognized them but it didn't help him from being confused, 'Okay....... They are definitely the Mane 6 without the other 2....... Are they actually ponies? But they look so human! Not to mention attractive!' the young man blinked at himself at the last part, coughed, and asked them a question, "......Are you guys ponies?"

The young man's question was heard but not answered, because currently, the group couldn't talk with varying reactions. Applejack had a slacked jaw and a blush on her face, Rainbow Dash also had a slack jaw but had wide eyes filled with sparkles, pinkie had wide eyes and a toothy grin while she was vibrating. Lastly, Twilight had a surprised and confused expression, she was confused because she couldn't feel even an ounce of magic from that attack.

Moments passed, and the first one to break the silence was Rainbow Dash, "That...... was!!!! AWESOME!!!!"

At that exclamation, Twilight and Applejack got out of their respective awe and thought, "Yeah, it was....." Applejack said with a dreamy expression.

Twilight was about to say something but got interrupted by a pink blur shooting towards the young man. By the time she blinked, she saw pinkie up close and barraging him with questions "Hi! I'm Pinkie pie! Thanks for helping us! What's your name? How did you do all that Zappy stuff? And what's your favorite color? Do you have a mare friend? What is-"

The young man, while being bombarded by questions, had a calm smile. 'Yup, this is Pinkie Pie alright...' The young man thought and put his hands up, stopping Pinkie, and opened his mouth, "Okay, okay, calm down, I'll answer your questions-" But before he could answer anything, his head snapped towards the direction of the barn with wide eyes, "Your friends are in trouble..." He suddenly said with a serious tone.

The group now looked towards the young man in a questioning look and before they could ask he was already flying towards the direction and broke the sound barrier in the process.

BOOOM!!!!!!

The group was dumbfounded again, only this time Rainbow exclaimed with even more stars in her eyes, "So...... AWESOME!!!"

(Currently at Sweet Apple Acres)

"Everypony into the barn!" A posh yet kind voice rang throughout the acre. This voice belonged to an Ivory furred mare with a 5ft 8in lean figure with C-cup breasts, she wore a light-blue peplum shirt and a black A-line skirt that comes down to her knees. She had black and blue eyes, with light-blue eyeshadows and a curly purple mane. She had a horn poking through it, and a tail that had the same color as her hair. She was Rarity, "Owner of Carousel Boutique", and the "Element of Generosity."

As she was leading the villagers inside the barn, she called someone behind her, "Fluttershy? How is Big-Mac doing?"

"He needs proper treatment fast!" A timid yet very concerned voice of what one could now guess as Fluttershy replied. She had light yellow fur and a 5ft 9in lean figure with D-cup breasts. She wore a light green sleeveless shirt and a white handkerchief skirt that came down above her knees. She had a clack and mint-colored eyes and a light pink mane with a white dandelion on it, she also had a pair of wings behind her back 3ft long each and a tail that was also light pink. This was Fluttershy, "Caretaker of Animals", and the "Element of Kindness".

"He needs proper medical treatment!" Fluttershy exclaimed in a panicked voice while holding down on a bandaged gash on a 6ft 2in tall, muscular red Stallion with a dirty blonde mane. He was Big Macintosh and he was very hurt, with a long claw mark on his torso, "I can't stop his bleeding!" Fluttershy exclaimed with tears in her eyes, "And I don't think the bear siblings can hold it any longer!"

As she was saying this, 3 bears were currently fighting against a hellhound, but it wasn't a normal hell hound, far from it, this hell hound was 7ft tall and 11ft long monstrosity, with protruding bone spikes on it's back. But the most noticeable factor that made it different from the others was its blue flames covering its body. The bears charged in together again but were collectively flung across the acre with burns and gashes all over there body and landed with a thud, making Fluttershy wince.

Then Fluttershy opened her eyes and looked towards the Gate Boss, with horror, and said, "Oh no......" Seemingly not tired at all, the monstrosity looked towards her with the eyes of a predator. Fluttershy's face paled as the hellhound started approaching Fluttershy. As she saw it approaching, she couldn't move because of the terror. The beast already reached Fluttershy and Mac, it held its claws up ready to strike.

Rarity, seeing this shouted, "FLUTTERSHY! BIG MAC!" And rushed towards the duo, but wasn't fast enough. As the claw was already coming down. Fluttershy closed her eyes, waiting for the inevitable pain but all that came was a dull sound of claws hitting something hard.

THUNK!!!

When Fluttershy heard it, she opened her eyes and saw a figure standing in front of them with both hands held up in an "X" shape. She was about to ask who he was, but the figure talked before she could in a cold voice, "Hey, Ash for brains....." The figure, which she could now identify as he, then pushed its claws away and punched the beast sending it flying off to the fields with a loud,

CRACK!!!!!!

The figure then shouted out loud in an anger-filled voice,

"HAD FUN?!"

CRACK!!!!!!

The figure then shouted out loud in an anger-filled voice,

"HAD FUN?!"

(Currently at the Sweet Apple Acres)

The young man stood there with his outstretched fist with an angry look, keeping his eyes on where the beast was sent flying. Meanwhile, Fluttershy had a dumbfounded look on her face, but she was snapped back to reality at Rarity's voice, "Fluttershy! Are you alright?"

"Ye- Yeah, I'm alright Rarity......" She said while still looking at the young man that rescued her. "Groan......" When Fluttershy heard a groan, she snapped her head towards Big Mac and exclaimed in panic, "Rarity! He needs to be treated now, or he won't make it!"

The young man hearing this, then turned around, making Fluttershy flinch in the process, and looked at Big Mac's state. Then he started walking towards him but he was stopped by Rarity, "Wait! What are you doing?!"

The young man then looked towards her with a sad expression and spoke in a somber tone, "Helping him before it becomes too late." He then turned towards Big Mac and knelt next to him. The young man put his hand on Mac's wounds and started healing while he was deep in thoughts, 'I'm so sorry Noah.........'

[FLASHBACK]

(Santa Monica)

Our protagonist could be seen holding a burly man who was burnt and bleeding badly all over his body, he was trying to heal him and failing. "Stay with me, Noah! I can heal you! Just hang in there just a little longer! Please!"

The burly man, now known as Noah coughed and spoke, "Cough Hurk! It's too late..... You know you can't heal me in time... I lost too much blood......" Noah continued with tears in his eyes, "They killed Jake and Claire..... Those bastards killed everyone else that you were close to......" Noah then grabbed the young man's arms with a determined look, "Get them...... Make those sons of bitches pay for what they've done to... all... of...... us.............." He finished as his hand lost its grip and fell to the ground.

The young man looked at this with shock and tears in his eyes.

"No... No!......"

The young man gritted his teeth and shouted out loud with all the anguish and sorrow he had.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!"

[END OF FLASHBACK]

His memories ended as he had fully healed the wound, and noticed Big Mac's breathing stabilized. "Woah......" Fluttershy spoke.

The young man chuckled. "He should rest more, he lost a lot of blood." He said as he stood up to look back at where the beast was punched to while cracking his knuckles.

Right after that some rusting of toppled over apple trees could be heard.

Rustle

The beast came out with an angry look and 2 broken fangs on its right side of its muzzle. "Stay back and protect them, will you?" The young man told Rarity in a gentle tone.

"I- Yes......" Rarity said with a blush, the young man nodded at her reply and looked back at the beast.

GROWL.......

The beast let out an angry growl but the young man didn't seem to give a shit about how it felt and spoke to it coldly. "I'll make you PAY for what you've done to them......" Then he started to stretch his sense towards the already gathered clouds, gathered the water droplets, and made it rain on Ponyville. The rain now started to stop the fire from spreading any more and put out the flames.

It also made sizzling sounds as it hit the beast and dimming its flames, the beast, of course, was further angered by this and lunged at him.

The young man, still looking at him in a cold look, breathed out cold air and said 1 word, "Freeze....." The beast then suddenly turned into an ice sculpture in mid-air, the young man, not missing this chance, cocked his arm back while enhancing it and punched it with all his might. Shattering it into many pieces and sent the pieces flying far away.

The young man, now satisfied with the results, turned around and immediately saw that the rest of the Mane 6 had arrived and joined the ponies at Sweet Apple Acres at there jaw drop competition. The young man just stood there, in an awkward situation where most of the Ponyvilles' denizens looking at him whilst standing in the rain. 'Well, this is awkward...... Wait... This is the exact situation that I was afraid of! A random alien creature that coming out of nowhere and helping them! It must be so weird! Hurry! I must do something to divert their attention!'

The young man was silent for a few more seconds and came up with an Idea and spoke, "So....... You must all have many questions, but I'd like to first heal the bears... And I'm pretty sure the rain should have doused out all the fire so........." He then hurriedly used Telekinesis to bring the bears near him and started Healing them.

Fluttershy, now remembering about the bears, rushed next to him and watched him use Healing on the bears. Fluttershy had seen him do it to Big Mac but she was still amazed at this and said out loud, "I've never seen a healing spell as effective as this..."

The young man chuckled at this and said, "This is not a spell nor magic."

Fluttershy was surprised and was about to ask another question but someone beat her to it. "What do you mean it's not magic?"

The young man looked back and saw Twilight coming towards him with the rest of the Mane 6, "It is not magic, but it is one of my abilities....."

Twilight was about to ask another question when suddenly Rainbow Dash chimed in, "Woah! You mean like a super-powers?!"

Then he chuckled and answered, "Yes, you could say that."

When Rainbow and Twilight were about to ask more questions, Rarity reprimanded them, "Girls! Aren't we being a bit rude to him without introducing ourselves?"

Twilight and Rainbow seemed a bit embarrassed but Rarity ignored that and looked towards him, confirming that he finished healing, she started introducing herself first, "Hello darling, my name is Rarity and I thank you for saving Fluttershy there, heavens I don't want to think what would have happened if you weren't there to save her!"

The young man was a bit overwhelmed with her way of talking and just decided to go with the flow, "It is a pleasure to meet you Ms. Rarity." Then he kissed her hand.

Rarity, of course, blushed and fanned herself while looking at him, "A stallion who knows how to treat a lady I see and please, just call me Rarity" Then he retreated back a step nodding and waited for others to start there introduction.

The young man was then approached by Fluttershy, "I... um... My name is Fluttershy and uh... thank you for saving me and healing the...  bear siblings, if you weren't there then I could've gotten hurt and Big Mac would have... died......"

Hearing this he replied in a friendly manner, "It is very nice to meet you Fluttershy and you don't have to thank me for healing the bears, because I love animals, I couldn't just let them stay injured." And it was true, he couldn't help but save animals on earth because he loved animals.

Fluttershy then said a small, "Thank you" and retreated behind her mane with a blush. Chuckling because of how cute she was he then looked towards the next pony coming towards him, Applejack.

"Howdy partner. The name is Applejack, I heard Fluttershy say that you saved ma brother's life, thanks a bunch fer that sugar cube."

The young man replied honestly, "It was nothing, Ms. Applejack, I did what anybo-pony would do."

Applejack, not backing down, insisted, "Still I want to repay you for saving ma brother and Ponyville."

He then had a thoughtful expression and then replied, "Well... I currently don't have any ideas, maybe we can talk about it later?" Applejack nodded with a smile and went back to her friends.

He was prepared to answer more questions but was surprised by Pinkie Pie suddenly appearing in front of him. "Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie, I know I introduced myself earlier but I still wanted to do it! Anyways, thanks for saving us from those meanies! We were in a real pinch but you came in and Zap! and then boom you went to the barn and Bang! Crash! and saved all of us! I can't wait to plan you a "Welcome and Thank you for saving Ponyville" Party!"

The young man, calmly replied, "Well your welcome Ms. Pinkie Pie, I can't wait to have a party after we finish the cleanup." Pinkie then gave fast multiple nods and then went back to her friends.

He was about to turn towards the other 2 but Rainbowdash came in right in front of him with a rainbow blur and started to introduce herself. "Hi! The name's Rainbow Dash, the fastest flyer of Equestria! Thanks for saving our butts, by kicking those beasts' butts! You were so cool! You saved us with that lightning move and just went to the acres to save Fluttershy with a Sonic Rainboom! Well... Just Sonic Boom because there was no color, but still it was very c-"

He then put his hands up to stop Rainbow Dash and replied, "Well your welcome Ms. Rainbow Dash and I appreciate you thinking what I did was cool, I hope we could continue your questions after the whole thing is wrapped up." Rainbow then nodded feverishly and went to Fluttershy's side.

The young man then turned to see the last pony, Twilight Sparkle as she then started introducing herself, "Hello, My name is Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship and I thank you for helping Ponyville in its time of need."

The young man then kneeled on one knee and put his right hand on his heart and replied, "It is an honor to meet you, Princess Twilight Sparkle, and it was nothing, I did something anypony would've done and helped the peo- I mean ponies in need..."

Twilight then sputtered a little at the sudden respectful display from him and hurriedly replied, "No, please stand! There is no need for formalities, just call me Twilight please!"

The young man then chuckled and stood up and replied, "Okay Twilight." And turned to look at the skies.

The young man noticed it was still raining, he then spoke to himself, "Well, since the fire is extinguished, there's no need for the rain." He then stopped the rain and cleared the sky with a wave of his hand and then looked at the Mane 6 still looking at him and he wondered why. He then noticed that he still hasn't introduced himself. "Oh! Sorry, I forgot to tell you my name. Sorry for keeping you waiting for ladies..." He then bowed and started introducing himself, "Hello, it's nice to meet everypony, my name is...-"

He then stopped for a moment or two and then continued, "My name is Magnus Might."

(Previously on the last chapter)

The young man noticed it was still raining, he then spoke to himself, "Well, since the fire is extinguished, there's no need for the rain." He then stopped the rain and cleared the sky with a wave of his hand and then looked at the Mane 6 still looking at him and he wondered why. He then noticed that he still hasn't introduced himself. "Oh! Sorry, I forgot to tell you my name. Sorry for keeping you waiting for ladies..." He then bowed and started introducing himself, "Hello, it's nice to meet everypony, my name is...-"

He then stopped for a moment or two and then continued, "My name is Magnus Might."

(Present)

"Yeah... Magnus Might, your resident Psi-user at your service." He then looked back up at the mares and found out that all of them had confused expressions on their faces, 'It seems there are no Psi-users in this world, well... Other than me of course.'

Then Twilight asked the question that the rest of the Mane 6 had, "What's a Psi-user?"

Magnus was expecting this question, and answered in a prepared manner, " A Psi-user is a unique individual who has the ability to use the unique energy produced from everything called Psi." He then paused for a moment and continued, "And Psi-users basically manipulate Psi to control elements, move things without touching them, teleport, enhance, heal, and sense things around them."

Rainbow Dash then excitedly asked him, "So, you have superpowers?"

He then chuckled and replied, "Yes, you can call them superpowers." 

As Magnus was about to answer more questions, his face suddenly donned a worried expression. The girls noticed this and were also worried, so Applejack asked, "You alright there partner?"

He then looked back at her and replied, "Yeah I'm fine, it's just... You guys remember what I told you about sensing things?" They nodded, "Well...... I'm currently sensing something or someponies that are coming towards this place in, what should I say..... Formation? You guys call an army or something?"

Twilight then suddenly slapped her forehead, while avoiding her horn. "I forgot that I contacted Princess Celestia for reinforcements....." She said while berating herself for forgetting such a thing.

Magnus hearing this acted like he didn't know anything and spoke in a confused tone. "Whose Princess Celestia?" The girls then whipped their heads toward him with an 'are you serious' face.

Seeing this, he mentally patted himself at the back and continued with his act, "What?"

Rainbow Dash then exclaimed at him as if he was crazy, "Dude! You seriously don't know who Princess Celestia is?"

He then replied, "Is that a problem?"

She was about to answer but was beaten to it by Twilight, "Princess Celestia is one of the diarchies of Equestria with Princess Luna, I'm surprised you don't know this... If I may ask, where have you come from?"

He then remembered everything, all those losses, pain, and tears. "I'm from far away and I would not like to talk about it yet........" He said in a tone full of pain and regret.

He really couldn't help it, he couldn't help to have a sad expression when talking about where he came from.

Seeing his expression, Twilight immediately tried to apologize, "I'm sorry if I-"

"It's okay" He cut her off, looked toward where the reinforcements were coming, and continued, "Let's continue this later, it seems the cavalry has arrived......"

As he finished, they all looked towards where he looked and saw squads of armed pegasus ponies holding a carriage with armed unicorns and earth ponies in them. Amongst the armed ponies were 2 very noticeable ponies.

The first pony exuded an aura that screamed "Royalty", with white-furred mare and a 6ft 4in curvy figure with D-cup breasts, donned with white Royal armor highlighted in gold with a symbol of a sun on her chest plate. She had a long sword sheathed on her waist and a shield with the same theme as her armor on her left arm. She didn't wear a helmet but a tiara, which showed her black and lilac eyes and a flowing mane that had the colors of sky-blue, mint, light purple, and pink. She also had both a horn and a pair of wings like Twilight. This was Princess Celestia, "The Diarch of Equestria", "Ruler of the Day", and the "Princess of the Sun".

Beside her was another pony who was undoubtedly royalty, with a midnight blue fur, she had 6ft 2in curvy figure sith C-cup breasts, she was also donned in black armor with pastel blue highlights. She had a long spear that was also Midnight black and the steep pastel blue that was equipped on her back. Like Celestia, she did not have a helmet, which showed her black and pastel green eyes and a flowing mane that was the color of the night sky with many stars in it. She also had a horn and a pair of wings like Twilight. This was Princess Luna, "The Diarch of Equestria", "Ruler of the Night" and the "Princess of the Moon."

Seeing them both, Magnus couldn't help but watch them in awe, with their ethereal, dignified air around them and beautiful appearances, he couldn't help but be enraptured by there beauty. When he saw them about to land, so he shook his head and prepared for his introduction to the rulers of Equestria.

Celestia then landed in front of the group as they bowed and asked with a confused expression, "Princess Twilight, I have come to your aid after reading your urgent message of a B-Class Gate breaking. But I don't see any monsters... Did you already deal with them?"

Twilight then answered, "Yes Princess Celestia, it was dealt with, but not by us, the stallion over here dealt with most of the monsters and the boss while protecting us from them." Twilight then pointed towards Magnus behind the group, hearing 
what she said, Celestia couldn't help but have a bit of doubt in her testimony.

Seeing this as a chance to introduce himself, he approached the Princesses and came in front of them and kneeled in front of her and introduced himself. "Greetings your highness, my name is Magnus Might, a wandering traveler that was luckily enough was nearby."

Princess Celestia then looked at him a bit surprised and replied. "Please rise, sir Magnus, if by what my pupil had said, then you have nothing else to do but accept my sincerest gratitude..."

Hearing this Magnus stood up and looked at the Princess at eye level, "Thank you, your highness, and it was nothing, anypony would have done the same thing if they were at my position-"

Before he could continue, Luna interrupted, "Sister! You can't actually be believing him, do you? It is already suspicious that he is strong enough to even stop one of the beasts let alone a horde of them including the boss!"

Seeing this, Magnus felt a bit insulted and Princess of Sun noticed it too. "Luna, it is rude-" What she was going to say was cut off from Luna continuing.

"And he did it while protecting other ponies?"She finished while huffing.

Magnus was starting to get a bit pissed 'Okay, that's-!'

Luna cut off again, "And by how obvious he's lying, I highly doubt that he even could protect anyone." And said something she shouldn't

Instantly, Magnus' then eyes widened at the last sentence, accompanied by th flooding of memories that he would rather forget.

But Luna didn't back down, "But sister! Don't you find it a little doubtful that a stallion by himself just took on most of the monsters from a B-class gate alone? You know that only an experienced Alicorn can do that! And He's no alicorn!"

Celestia seemed to agree with her, but still found her rude, "But Luna it is still very rude to just say this to hi-"

Suddenly a small yet cold voice reverberated around the acre, "I am not weak..." 

The ponies, including Celestia and Luna, had a cold shiver run down their spines and looked at where the voice came from with surprise. Because the voice that contained respect and friendliness a few moments ago just up and disappeared and what was left in its place was something cold, emotionless, something that shouldn't be angered.

The sudden silence and attention were not noticed by Magnus. "I am not weak, TAKE IT BACK......" He said while looking up towards Luna and what she and the rest of the ponies saw made them confused. Sure there was the rage in his eyes as they expected, but what they didn't, was that they were mostly contained anguish, sorrow, and regret.

Luna saw this, but still replied, "And why must I, creature?" Luna haughtily replied back, seemingly half annoyed, half amused by Magnus' change of attitude.

"Because if you don't, I'll make you eat those words..." He replied back.

The blatant disrespect now made Luna a bit angry and made her taunt him, "And pray tell... How will be doing it?"

He then chuckled coldly and replied, "Oh... you'll know..." He then spun around but stopped. "Oh... Before I start, Princess Luna... Do you consider yourself strong?" He questioned the Lunar Princess.

Luna scoffed and then answered, "Of course! I am an alicorn after all!"

Hearing that he chuckled. "Good, because Princess Luna......" He paused and spun around with eyes burning with anger while pointing his finger at her and shouted in an earth-shattering voice.


"I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL!!!"

> Chapter 6: Prove your worth

(Previously on the last chapter)

Hearing that he chuckled. "Good, because Princess Luna......" He paused and spun around with eyes burning with anger while pointing his finger at her and shouted in an earth-shattering voice.


"I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL!!!"


(Present)

For a moment, there was silence, the residents, the Mane 6, the platoon, and even the rulers were speechless of his shout and what it meant. But the first one to snap out was Twilight Sparkle. "Magnus! are you crazy! This is Princess Luna! An alicorn! Alicorns have all the traits of the pony race! They have the earth pony's superior strength, the pegasus' superior speed, and magic that trumps unicorns!" She all but whispered urgently to him.

"All the more reason to beat her..." He said, not even thinking about backing out

Twilight, dumbfounded by his words, tried to persuade him out of this, "I know you're strong and you're proud of i-"

"𝕀Ｔ 𝐈ร 𝕟𝐎ⓣ 𝒶ⓑ𝕆𝓊Ｔ ᵐү ģⓄᗪđ𝕒爪ℕ 𝕡𝐑𝓘Ďє......" He cut her off coldly, which made her step back a few hooves.

He then looked back at the Lunar princess. "So, do you accept, your highness?" He asked with the last part in a not so respectful tone.

Luna was then snapped out of her thoughts and regained her composure. "And Why must I-" Whatever she was going to say was cut off by Magnus.

"Oh? Is the great and powerful Princess afraid of this weak creature?" He said in a condescending tone.

Luna has now gritted her teeth at that. "Very well, thou hast asketh of this request and thou shalt receive it." She haughtily replied to him.

Celestia was then snapped out after hearing Luna reverting back to her old speaking, which indicated that she was pissed off. "Luna! You mustn't just accept his duel request! This was not-" She was trying to dissuade her, emphasis on tried.

Luna cut her off whilst still glaring at Magnus, "Thou shalt not worry sister, we will only teach this creature a few lessons."

Not missing his chance, he gave her a mock bow. "And I, you Princess..." He retorted after lifting his head up.

And after that, they went to their respective side of the empty field, while still glaring at each other. 

Seeing things getting out of hand, Celestia teleported to Magnus' side. "Sir Magnus, I ask of you to reconsider, you seem to be from a faraway land and don't know about ponies and evidently of an alicorn's pow-"

"It is fine Princess Celestia, as much as I don't know about ponies, you ponies know about humans either..." He replied while looking at her with faintly glowing eyes and went back to glaring at the lunar princess.

Celestia seemed surprised at his little light show but sighed after realizing he couldn't be convinced, so she went back to where she was.

As she went back to the sidelines, Luna spoke, "Having second thoughts, creature?"

"Other than how to give your high and mighty royal hindquarters a smackdown... Well... non." He said while smirking.

Gnashing her teeth again at the reply. "Well then, shalt we begin?" Luna said with a small snarl.

Magnus then replied coldly, "Yes, let's..."

Right after he finished, the sound of air being sharply ripped was heard.

WHOOSH!!!

Luna, using her legs and wings instantly moved in front of Magnus and sent a very sharp Haymaker to his head.

Right before Magnus was about to get hit, he accelerated his thought with a smirk, 'Who said anime never helps?'

Now, let it be known that Magnus is not a hardcore Otaku, but he really likes to read Mangas and Animes in his free time. Couple that with his eidetic memory, he practically remembers ALL of them down to details and often used them as references for his new moves.

'I dedicate this to you Killua......God speed......' As he finished his thoughts, he disappeared from Luna's sights.

Then, of course, the haymaker missed, and Luna was left confused as to where he went until she heard a voice behind her, "Hit..."

She then spun around with a spinning elbow to his jaw and Magnus casually jumped back before it hit him.

Luna also stepped back, but in surprise at what she saw, on there standing a dozen feet away from her was Magnus, clad in purple lightning with his hair spiking up, while his eyes were emitting a purple light.

Before Luna could question, Magnus spoke in a no-nonsense tone, "I suggest you take your spear out and take this seriously because even if I did not dodge your attacks, your fists would not be enough to hurt me."

Luna seemed a bit surprised at what he said but still replied haughtily, "I admit that thou art fast, creature, but it doesn't mean that I must-" Luna then widened her eyes as she blocked a punch from the front that was aimed at her chin with both of her arms crossed.

Seeing as she was sent skidding back a few meters from his obviously toned down attack, he continued, "Start getting serious or you'll get seriously hurt..."

Everybody gasped as they saw, an alicorn, being pushed back by someone who is not one. To the ponies, this was outrageous, they say the alicorn's strength equals an earth pony but that is indicating right after when they have ascended. Another perk of becoming an alicorn was the longer they live, the stronger they physically and magically become, and Luna was at least a millennia-old.

CRACK!

All heads were snapped towards where the sound originated from, and they were even more surprised at what they saw, for the gauntlets of the lunar princess cracked!

Celestia couldn't help but whisper, "How?..." and thought, 'This is preposterous! Luna's armor is made out of star metal! It in itself is naturally strong enough to handle an A-class boss monster! Add it with that it can be enchanted, it should be nigh impervious!'

Luna seemed also seemed to be very surprised about this, but before she could properly think through it, Magnus spoke, "Afraid Princess?" 

Luna snapped out of her thoughts and replied with a snarl, "What did you say?"

Magnus didn't even flinch and kept his stare at the Princesses with lightning still around him and continued, "You must be quite strong, seeing that the other 2 Princesses were worried about me getting hurt by you, they must've believed you were strong... Strong enough to rely on you......" He said the final part in a somber tone and then looked back at Luna in cold anger, making her spine shiver. "So are you not afraid that you are not the strongest?" He asked the princess of the moon.

Luna was caught off guard with that question, she was expecting him to be snarky, taunting, but instead the creature- no, STALLION seemed like he was trying to teach her something. Like he was trying to teach her in order to not make a mistake, a mistake he had experienced.

Before she could dive deeper into her thoughts, Magnus finished, "Now enough talk... Let's get serious shall we...?"

Luna snapped back to reality as she heard him and then narrowed her eyes. This time, not because of anger, instead, it was of determination. 

She then took her spear out and started to charge her horn with magic, making her eyes glow . 

Magnus chuckled and lost some of his cold looks. "Good!" He said, then vanished and appeared in front of Luna again with another punch at the ready, and this time Luna was prepared. She parried it with her spear and shot a bolt at magic in front of his face, Magnus just sways to his side and uppercutting her stomach, sending her back a bit. He then charged his hands with lightning and prepared to shoot at her.

But he stopped after seeing his opponent and deactivated his God speed a bit after, and looked at the sight in front of him with confusion.

The reason was that princess Luna was sitting on the ground whilst holding her gut and panting in pain. He was confused for a moment but then a look of realization dawned on his face, "You got hit, not because you couldn't dodge but because you didn't dodge... Why?" He said the last part even colder.

Luna winced at his tone and then started speaking, "We-I wanted to apologize to you, Sir Magnus."

Magnus still didn't stop looking confused but now completely lost his cold look. "Why?" He said.

Luna then replied, "The purpose of my words were to provoke you and find out about your character, or any other ulterior motives you might've had. And once you had challenged us, I thought you were a prideful fool. But our short exchange had shown me that I had done something personal to you. For that, I, Princess Luna, Princess of the moon, and Ruler of the Night apologize Sir Magnus..."

At that, Magnus couldn't help but let his jaw drop a little and utter one word.

"Huh?"

(Previously on the last chapter)

Luna then replied, "The purpose of my words were to provoke you and find out about your character, or any other ulterior motives you might've had. And once you had challenged us, I thought you were a prideful fool. But our short exchange had shown me that I had done something personal to you. For that, I, Princess Luna, Princess of the moon, and Ruler of the Night apologize Sir Magnus..."

At that, Magnus couldn't help but let his jaw drop a little and utter one word.

"Huh?"

(Present)

Before Magnus could finish organizing his thoughts, Princess Luna continued, "It was a mistake on my part, I did not mean to say anything about what happened in your past, it was all supposed to be a test to find out if you were a fraud or not."

Hearing this, Magnus now sighed and closed his eyes while pinching between his eyebrows.

Seeing this Celestia finally spoke, "I am sorry for this Sir Magnus, we were just trying to find out if we could trust you."

Magnus then looked at Celestia. "So you were in this too Princess Celestia?" He said in a tired tone.

"Yes, and I'm very sorry Sir-" Celestia was about to apologize again, but was cut off... again.

"Just!... Magnus is fine..." Magnus sighed gain and asked them both, "Exactly... When did your highnesses plan this?"

"From the moment I have seen you I asked about this idea to Celestia in a telepathic link," Luna answered.

"And then I approved of her Idea, although the fight was not a part of it......" Celestia said while she gave Luna a stink eye. 

Luna then looked embarrassed and replied, "I may have gotten annoyed a little and may have gotten carried away because of it..."

Magnus couldn't help but sigh again. "Alright it's fine your Highnesses and it is also my fault for the rude behavior before. So I am sorry Princess Luna, even if I was angry, that was no way to treat royalty..." He said with a bow towards her.

This made Luna sputter with a blush. "You shouldn't be apologizing to me, Sir Magnus! It is I who should be apologizing and I only need to hear forgiveness, not an apology!" She said hurriedly.

Magnus chuckled. "I thank you for your sentiment, but that doesn't excuse my behavior. So if you forgive me and just call me Magnus first then I will forgive you, Princess Luna." He said.

Luna then calmed down but still had a bit of a dark blush on her muzzle. "Then Magnus, I accept your forgiveness, will you accept mine?" She said as she got back into her Princess persona.

Magnus then bowed his head, then looked up and replied with a smile, "Yes, I forgive you too Princess Luna."

At that, all the ponies exhaled their collective sigh in relief. While the Mane 6 and the two royal sisters sported blushes seeing his smile.

Magnus then relaxed. "Since that's all done, don't we all have things to do?" He said while pointing around all the damage done at the acre and Ponyville.

Hearing that, the ponies proceeded towards where they were needed and Celestia ordered the army to help the villagers.

Seeing this Magnus nodded and looked towards both Princesses and the Mane 6, "Now, I'd love to help but-"

Growl~ A loud growl came from his stomach making him blush a little.

The girls including the princesses giggled at this, while Magnus seemed to get an idea. "Hey Applejack? Can I use that favor now?" He asked.

Applejack stopped giggling and answered with mirth, "Of course sugar cube! What'd ya want?"

"Well... Hearing that you own this farm... Can I have a simple meal? If it is not too much of a hassle for you that is." He asked politely

Applejack then smiled and replied, "No problem, in fact, it's about time for a meal so ma friends and the princesses can join too!"

Luna and Celestia wanted that but still was gonna politely refuse, until Magnus cut them off. "Great! And while we are at it, we can exchange information! Cause I have a couple of questions and having them answered without a fight would be great, don't you agree Princess?" Magnus asked playfully at Luna.

Luna blushed more at that and hid her face with her hands, making Magnus chuckle. "Well then, let's go! I'm starving!" He said while he followed Applejack into her family's house.

(Time Skip)

Magnus and ponies were now sitting at a chair around the round table filled with mostly eaten apple cuisines while chatting with each other and asking Magnus questions. "So, humans are omnivorous but they don't eat any other sentient beings?" 

Magnus replied, "Nope! We don't, even if eating meat is part of the necessary diet for us, we will never cross that line."

Twilight then sighed in relief and now Luna asked a question, "So I heard from Rainbow Dash that the abilities you have shown against me and the monsters weren't magic but your superpowers?"

Magnus chuckled and replied, "Well... strictly speaking, it is just the manipulation of Psi energy within me to grasp the molecules around me to perform extraordinary but scientifically possible feats."

Luna then looked at Magnus with some sparkles in her eyes while saying, "Amazing... Just like in the comic books......" She whispered the last part to herself.

Magnus then turned to Celestia. "Celestia, I know that you've told me about many other species and creatures in Equus but I did not hear anything specifically like those monsters that I've fought. What are they?" He asked her the question that was in his mind.

Celestia's expression turned serious. "They are not native to Equus, they are from portals that we call Gates, which are connected to somewhere we do not know through magic.

We do not know what keeps sending monsters, but one thing we know is that at the end of the monsters, a Gate Boss, the one you fought, comes out. They are the strongest monsters that come from their respective gates." She answered.

Magnus then asked another question, "I heard you said that the monsters come from a B-class gate... Are they all classified? And if yes, how?"

This time Luna answered, "Yes they are classified through this device." Luna said while showing a crystal with engravings on it. "It shows us by collecting the magical signature that came from the gates and shows us classifications from E being the lowest and S which is the highest."

Magnus then frowned and asked another question, "Has there been any S-class gates at Equestria?"

Instantly, the room got quiet, after a few moments, Celestia spoke up, "Yes... there has been one..."

Magnus noticing that it must've gone horribly wrong, spoke in an apologizing tone, "I'm sorry-"

"It's not your fault." He then looked at Rainbow Dash who spoke. "It wasn't your fault, it was those damn harpies' Fault......" Rainbow Dash continued, "They took away my home, my friends, my parents, and....." Rainbow gritted her teeth in anger, while tears fell from her eyes. "Soaring......" For a moment, there was silence, until Magnus spoke up

"It's terrible, I know" All heads snapped towards Magnus but he didn't care their gazes and looked at Rainbow Dash in the eyes.

Rainbow frowned and replied, "How would you know-"

"You want to rip them apart..." He said with a hint of anger in his voice, "You blame yourself that you should have protected them... Been stronger, faster for them......" Now his tone was mixed with a hint of sadness.

All eyes were now more focused on him but he still ignored and continued, "You want to charge in and have revenge for your loved ones." He said as his eyes full of mixed emotions, "To have revenge, to pay them back for what they have done...... It is not a wise decision."

Rainbow then got angry, stood up, pointed her finger at him, and yelled at him while her tears were falling, "Why would you say that if you don't know anything?! I don't need lectures from you! You don't understand!"

Not minding her sudden outburst, he replied in a somber tone, "I lost as much as you have and even more." Rainbow's eyes widened but he continued with tears starting to form in his eyes, "My house burned to ashes in front of me..." Tears started dropping from his eyes but he still continued, "My friends died, some far away and some in my hands..." He still continued, "My parents died, loving me till the end." He then dropped his head. "And then......." He did not finish, but the situation and white knuckles said enough.

The air was somber, bringing tears to everyone's eyes, even Pinkie's.

Magnus still looked down. "After all that, I walked that path of revenge and fulfilled it whilst almost destroying myself..." He lied at the last part.

All looked at him with surprise and worry, Rainbow Dash especially. (Yeah, Friendship)

But Magnus looked back up at Rainbow with eyes filled with determination. "But the last words of my loved one helped me come back from that path." He said with a tone full of conviction, "Her last promise was about an Ideal, an Ideal that was worth fighting for, an Ideal that is right, and an ideal that I must never lose hope on....."

He then looked at all the others. "An ideal of being......"


"......A HERO......

> Chapter 8: What a Hero does

(Previously on the last chapter)

But Magnus looked back up at Rainbow with eyes filled with determination. "But the last words of my loved one helped me come back from that path." He said with a tone full of conviction, "Her last promise was about an Ideal, an Ideal that was worth fighting for, an Ideal that is right, and an ideal that I must never lose hope on....."

He then looked at all the others. "An ideal of being......"


"......A HERO......


(Present)

He then wiped his tears away and spoke, "It made me not lose my path and also made me help you today with the monsters. It is what makes me... ME." He looked back at Rainbow Dash and asked her, "So, what makes you, you? What makes Rainbow Dash that everypony who loves you back, Rainbow Dash?"

Rainbow Dash was about to speak but was cut off by Pinkie, "A pony who helps me at the sugarcube bakery!"

Rainbow Dash looked at the energetic pink pony but before she could say anything, Applejack continued, "A pony who can be the greatest rival one can ask..."

Rarity then spoke, "A pony that always goes headfirst into danger for me..."

Then Fluttershy, "A... uh... pony who always respects my shyness......."

Then Luna spoke, "A friend who is the best friend one can ask..."

Then Celestia, "A pony that I'm always grateful for always staying beside my pupil..."

Lastly Twilight, "A pony who has been loyal to us till the end, even through hardships..."

Rainbow Dash was now crying as Magnus spoke.

"And the pony that shown me what Loyalty is from her friends... This defines what you are and you might have already known, but it takes your loved ones to be reminded of it." Magnus said with a gentle but bright smile.

Rainbow Dash then went and hugged everypony else in the room, saying "Thank you" repeatedly, while tears fell from her eyes constantly.

Seeing this Magnus smiled at her and then silently walked out of the barn.

(Outside the barn)

Magnus was now seen outside staring at the night sky, deep in thought, 'Nicole...... This was also a part of what Heros do right? I haven't lost what you entrusted me... and I swear that this is just the beginning, I'll try to save them all...'

Magnus was immersed in his reminiscing until he heard Luna's voice behind him, "Aren't you going to join them?"

Magnus, sensing that she was with Celestia replied while still watching the skies, "Nah, didn't seem like my place to interfere but..." He then turned around looking at them and continued, "Aren't your Highnesses supposed to be with them?"

Celestia squinted her brows and replied, "And I thought we told you to just call us by our names Magnus."

He chuckled and replied, "Sorry, sorry... But seriously, aren't you guys supposed to be with Rainbow Dash and the others?"

Luna then told him, "We have said our bits and excused ourselves to talk to you."

Magnus tilted his head and asked, "About what?"

Celestia then replied, "To thank you for helping my little pony."

"And for helping my best friend," Luna added.

Magnus scratched the back of his head with a wry smile and replied," Aw shucks, it wasn't much......"

Luna then spoke back with a thankful tone, "But it was Magnus, after the fall of Cloudsdale she kept on hiding her feelings from us to make us not worry about her but what you just did helped her dealing with it and we can't thank you enough for that."

Hearing that Magnus couldn't help but feel glad and have a big warm smile about that, this made both Princesses have a tint of pink on their muzzles.

He didn't notice this and replied, "Then I gladly accept your gratitude... And give you my thanks for telling me this bit"He bowed and looked back up to the skies.

Celestia, looking at him watching the night sky couldn't help but ask, "Is there a reason why you constantly watch the skies?"

Magnus was quiet for a moment and then replied at them, "Because it's beautiful, more beautiful than my world's night sky..."

Luna blushed feverishly at that but Celestia had a confused look at what he said at the last part and before she could ask, Magnus spoke to them, "Hey Luna, Celestia, can I ask you to keep what I'm about to say next to a secret? It's sensitive information for me and I think you guys deserve to know it as the rulers..."

Luna snapped out of her thoughts and asked, "What do you want to tell us?"

Magnus just asked them again, "Just... Can you promise me? I don't know if I want to tell these to ponies other than you 2..."

Luna then looked at Celestia and nodded, she then sighed and replied, "Very well, we won't tell anyone about this, we promise."

Magnus gave them a short "Thanks" and continued, "When I said I was from far away, it meant that I was not from Equus herself."

Luna was shocked at this and Celestia widened her eyes at this but otherwise stayed calm, while Magnus continued, "I am from Earth, also known as Gaia or Terra, your choice."

Celestia asked Magnus, "How did you arrive here on Equus?"

Magnus stayed silent for a moment and replied in a somber tone, "I died."

Now, this shocked Luna and Celestia greatly. "You died? How did you die? How do you know that you died?" Luna asked in confusion and shock.

Magnus then looked at them with a somber expression and replied, "I have told you that I almost destroyed myself but came back... Well, I did destroy myself, just not in the name of revenge but to save the world."

Celestia then was shocked even more. "What happened, what pushed you to make such a decision?" She asked.

Magnus looked up again but this time with a frown. "My enemy, Stain, he was a special Psi-user with the ability to harvest one's ability to regenerate Psi and their Psi capacities through killing Psi-users... And he killed thousands..."

Celestia and Luna frowned at such a hideous act while Magnus continued, "His goal was to become immortal through having nigh limitless Psi and he succeeded."

The Princesses' expression turned horrified by hearing of Stain's success, "He became Immortal, well, almost... He could regenerate even if only a speck of him was left and come back in no time."

The Princesses, now curious of the outcome, asked, "So, was he the one to......"

Magnus chuckled and replies, "Yes..." The Princesses were shocked at what they heard next, "He was the one to take everything from me..."

Before he could reply, Luna yelled but not loud enough for the Mane 6 to hear, "Why? Why did you burden yourself to protect the world? Weren't there any others-"

"Because I was the only person who could stop Stain." He said instantly shutting her up and continued, "If he could regenerate from a speck of himself, then I just needed to erase every last shred of him... And the only way to do that was through imploding every last bit of Psi in me and disintegrate everything near me......"

Luna had tears in her eyes. "Wasn't there any other way? Couldn't you have persuaded him?" She asked him.

Magnus then looked at her eyes and then shook his head, "No, there wasn't, he was hellbent in conquering the world through force and I was the only one who was powerful enough to pull that off......"

Silence ensued outside the barn until Celestia sighed and spoke up, "Thanks for telling us your secret Magnus, we will not tell any other pony about this without your permission."

"Thank you Luna, Celestia, I appreciate it. I will tell the girls if the time comes..." Magnus spoke in a grateful tone. Then he changed his mood. "Welp since that is done, shall we go back inside?" He said trying to get rid of the sad atmosphere.

Celestia nodded and started returning while Luna seemed to remember something and spoke to Magnus, "Oh! and Magnus, thank you."

Magnus tilted his head and asked, "For what?"

Luna suddenly got close to him and kissed him on his cheek. "For calling my Night beautiful..." She answered with a blush.

She then hurriedly went back inside, leaving a dumbfounded Magnus behind and he couldn't help himself and spoke the one word again.


"Huh?"

She then hurriedly went back inside, leaving a dumbfounded Magnus behind and he couldn't help himself and spoke the one word again.


"Huh?"


(Present)

(Currently in Ponyville)

It was a sunny morning at Ponyville, Celestia's sunlight graced over the burnt remains of houses and the villagers working to clean them up. Ponies woke up early morning to start cleaning in order to start repairing their houses, that with the help of the platoon that the Princesses brought, it can be seen progressing greatly. But that wasn't the biggest help they were getting, while the ponies were working at the sides, 2 houses worth of burnt remains were floating in the air as Magnus used telekinesis to move them away to the outskirts of Ponyville quickly. 

As he finished moving the remains, he looked toward an earth pony guard. "Is that all for here Staff Sergeant Stronghoof?" He asked.

The blue maned white mare, now known as captain Stronghoof, answered with a blush, "Ye- Yes, That would be all for the southern quadrant of Ponyville, thankyou."

Magnus wiped the sweat off his brows and answered with a smile, "No problem Sergeant, just doing my bit to help."

Stronghoof, trying not to look down, hurriedly answered, "Sti- Still, thank you for helping us, Sir Magnus..." 

Stronghoof tried really hard to not look any lower than his neckline and she wasn't the only pony. As you all might know, Equestria's population mostly consists of mares, so almost all mares who were near him were ogling at him. If you all are wondering the reason why it's because Magnus took his shirt off due to sweat of working under the bright sun for nearly an hour. He wasn't tired or out of breath, it was just hot outside.

"Since it's done here, I'll now go to the western quadrant and help the ponies stationed there." After saying that, he flew towards the western quadrant at a relaxed speed.

(On the air to the Western quadrant of Ponyville)

Magnus was flying towards the west with a faint blush on his cheeks. 'This... Will take some time to get used to...' He thought with a sigh and spoke to himself, "How are they attracted to me? I'm from a different species, for god's sake!" 'Not that I do not apprecia-' He slapped himself before finishing that thought. 'This is all because of that kiss from Luna.' He thought while rubbing his temples.

He then noticed he arrived at the location and met with the Unicorn staff Sergeant and squad cleaning the quadrant. The Sergeant and the squad immediately blushed at seeing his shirtless form. Trying to ignore this, Magnus started speaking, "I am here to help clean up your quadrant, may I know your name Staff Sergeant?"

The Sergeant replied with a stutter, "I- I am Staff sergeant Gleaming light and we would appreciate your help with the cleaning Sir Magnus." 

Magnus replied with a smile while earning more blushes and a few small squees, "It is nice to meet you, Sergeant, so where am I needed?"

Gleaming Light calmed down and answered while pointing towards somewhere, "2 houses collapsed on one making it hard to remove the debris, we have been reported of your powers, may we have your assistance?" She asked at the end.

He then followed where she pointed and found the particular remains and replied, "Don't worry, I got this." He then pointed his right hand towards the debris while his eyes started glowing, he then lifted them up with his telekinesis easily and sent them towards the outskirts.

The ponies now had their jaws dropped and looked at him with wide eyes.

He then spun around from his spot and looked at Gleaming Light with a bright smile, "So, where's next?" When Magnus was speaking, he couldn't help but feel that he was being watched...

(Elsewhere at Ponyville)

Elsewhere at Ponyville, a pony could see a majestic crystal castle supported by a large crystal tree, sparkling with the help of Celestia's grace. This was Twilight's home, the "Castle of Friendship" and inside the castle's meeting room, the Mane 6 and the Princesses could be seen watching a Crystal size of a large TV. This crystal was used for reconnaissance or in this case supposed to show how the repairs were going. But strangely, it was mostly focused on Magnus helping the cleanup. t\The mares that were watching were blushes and some were drooling, it wasn't obvious to see that they were ogling at him.

The first to snap out was Twilight and looked at the others, "Wait! How long were we watching the feed?"

All the mares snapped out and Celestia spoke up still sporting a blush "It has been about a half an hour Twilight."

Twilight panicked a little exclaimed out loud, "We were supposed to have a meeting! Not watch Magnus!... Abs......"

Celestia then coughed and gathered the attention of the mares and spoke, "We were supposed to decide where we would get the materials needed to rebuild most of Ponyville and Applejack had something to say about it." She said looking in Applejack's direction.

The orange mare was sporting a blush but still answered, "Ma family have some leftover trees we had to cut down for firewood but ah don't think we have enough."

Rainbow Dash chimed in, "And I don't think we could get enough wood elsewhere and re-build Ponyville before winter."

The mares busily discussed the current problem until they heard a knock from the room's door. When they looked, a guardsmare spoke to them with a visible blush, "Sir Magnus has come here for the meeting, shall I let him in Princess?"

Celestia blushed in anticipation and answered, "Yes he may."

The guardsmare nodded and opened the door fully, showing Magnus, still shirtless, making the mares in the room blush at his well-toned body but Magnus did his best to ignore and replied, "Ah! Finally found you guys! Sorry that I'm shirtless, I don't have any other clothes other than the one I wore." He sheepishly rubbed the back of his head with a blush.

Rarity then gasped at his predicament and quickly spoke with eyes full of generosity and... Eagerness? "That is outrageous darling! I will quickly make you another!"

Before she could run out Magnus stopped her, "Wait! Your shop was burnt last night remember? I don't think you can even if you wanted to, I already washed my jacket and shirt and drying them beside winter-wrap-up-lake, so don't worry."

Rarity replied with an "Okay Darling" and sat back down.

Celestia then spoke up, "So Magnus, what is the purpose of your visit?"

Magnus then looked at her and replied, "I finished the cleanup and came here to ask for what I could do next."

Now, this raised all the eyebrows of the mares and made Luna ask, "Already? It must've taken at least a day and a half to complete the task with the current ponypower!" 

He then smirked and replied, "Than its good that you have some manpower right here, it wasn't that hard really, I've moved way heavier stuff." He said while flexing a little.

Everypony's collective jaws dropped, drooled and blush, Magnus slapped himself mentally and asked ignoring the looks that he was getting, "And judging by the atmosphere you guys have a problem at your hands."

Celestia snapped out of it first and answered with a small cough, "Yes, we currently don't have enough wood to rebuild Ponyville before winter."The Mares all looked down.

Magnus then looked at the other mares' faces were gloomy, so he clapped his hands and got their attention. "So, could you build back houses fast enough before winter if you had enough wood?"

Luna replied, "Yes, we can get other necessary materials fast enough from Canterlot, except wood."

Magnus then gave a toothy grin and replied, "Well then, that's simple... I just have to grow enough wood before winter."

All necks snapped towards him and gave him a look of confusion while Twilight shouted, "What!?!?"

Magnus chuckled. "I said I would just grow enough wood before winter, It won't be a problem at all, whatsoever." He said with a devilish grin on his face.

Luna replied, "Yes, we can get other necessary materials fast enough from Canterlot, except wood."

Magnus then gave a toothy grin and replied, "Well then, that's simple... I just have to grow enough wood before winter."

Magnus chuckled. "I said I would just grow enough wood before winter, It won't be a problem at all, whatsoever." He said with a devilish grin on his face.

(Present)

Magnus looked at the Mares with a confident smile while the Mares were looking at him with mixed looks; some with curiosity, some with anticipation, and some just outright had a confused look.

The first person to talk was Celestia again, "Is it with the help of one of your abilities, Magnus?" Celestia asked.

Magnus nodded and replied, "Eeyup! Its called Chlorokinesis, it can help me with controlling plants or make them grow faster."

Rainbow Dash looked at Magnus with sparkling eyes and said, "So...... AWESOME!......"

Luna then piped up and spoke, "That is great! If you could, let us start immediately!"

"Yeah, I'm fine with that, although..." He then looked at Rainbow Dash, "I'm going to need your help with this Rainbow Dash."

Rainbow Dash then tilted her head and asked, "What do you need my help for?"

"Well... I'd say I can grow them but the trees need nutrients in order to accelerate their growth and I can't create it from nothing." Rainbow Dash nodded. "So I need water, meaning rain, and I, of course, can call upon it but I'm kinda tired to do 2 things at the same time, so I need you to make it rain over the growing trees." Magnus finished.

Rainbow then send him a thumbs up and replied enthusiastically, "No problem! Leave it to me!"

Magnus returned the gesture and replied with a smile, "Thanks Dash! You're the best!"

At that Rainbow puffed her chest with a small blush while the other mares sent her the look of envy. Magnus noticed this and sweated a little.

He then clapped his hands once again to gain attention and spoke, "So! Now we're prepared, let's do the Equus' first Magic and Psi collaboration project!" He said in an excited tone.

(At the fields between the Townhall and the Winter-Wrap-up-Lake

There can be seen ponies with axes being lead by a group of mares and one human. The ponies seemed to be curious where they'll get wood from but still listened to their Princesses and savior.

When they reached their destination, Magnus turned and spoke to Rainbow Dash, "Okay, Dash I want you to lead the group of pegasus ponies to make it rain as much as you can on the fields."

Rainbow then excitedly nodded and looked towards the group and shouted, "You heard the stallion! Let's go!" She then jumped and flew towards the clouds followed by the group. As they got to work, dark clouds started to fill the skies above the fields.

Magnus then closed his eyes and steadily started to breathe and spread his Energy-Sensing towards the soil on the fields and covered the whole area with it.

(Above the clouds

Rainbow Dash finished with her batch of clouds and asked the sergeant next to her, "Is that all?" The sergeant nodded. "Then let's make it RAIN!!!" Rainbow dash and the group started to run and jump on the clouds like trampolines, making the clouds start raining heavily.

(Back at the Surface

Magnus still was in a concentrated state but this time his body was glowing dark green. When he noticed the downpour has started, he smirked, 'I dedicate this to you, Senju Hashirama...' He then opened his eyes that glowed brightly with dark green light and shouted, "Mokuton Hijutsu: Jukai Kotan!" And Slammed his brightly glowing hands down to the ground.

What happened next was nothing short of Magic, no pun intended. Sprouts started to quickly form on the fields and quickly started to grow taller than a pony in mere minutes. And after a few more, a forest full of 9-12ft tall trees now covered the previously grass filled fields.

Twilight had her eyes wide, "Wood Release Secret Technique: Nativity of a World of Trees, it's Neighponese... I did not know he could speak Neighponese?" She muttered to herself with awe.

After a few moments, the Rainbow Dash and her group came down with equally awestruck looks added with Rainbow's "Awe... Some...!" at the end.

Magnus then spun around and got his ax over his shoulders and spoke loud and clear, "Now then! Shall we start?"

The Ponies all cheered after hearing that and started moving towards the trees while giving their thanks to Magnus.

Twilight came towards Magnus and spoke to him, "Thanks a lot Magnus if it wasn't for you we might've had trouble when winter came..."

He then smiled at her and replied, "It was nothing Twilight! That is what a hero does, helping..." He then turned towards the forest and started chopping down trees and move them.

(Timeskip)

It has been a bit more than a month after the "Great Forest" incident, the rebuilding was finished and the other necessary materials were sent from Canterlot by Celestia and Luna with their soldiers before the rebuilding was finished. All the ponies thanked Magnus profusely, especially the mares, much to his migraine. They also agreed with Mayor Mare to make his house between the Carousel boutique and the Town Hall, where Magnus was currently sleeping.

Against all the good things, Magnus was not having a good sleep. He was tossing and turning on his bed until he shot up with a gasp while sweat covered his body. He was breathing heavily with a terrified expression and looked down at his hands. "Nicole......" He said while sadly looking at his hands, which in his eyes looked like it was covered in blood, HER blood. "Guess it's gonna take a lot of time for it to heal......" He said while clenching his fists.

He then sighed dejectedly, got up, and went to take a shower.

After he was done with it, he dried himself with Hydrokinesis and started picking his clothes for the day. Thanks to Rarity, he got a plethora of clothes, he was really grateful to Rarity, he only wished that she didn't ogle at his body while she was taking measurements with some blood coming out of her nose.

After that incident, he decided to learn more about this version of Equestria and one thing interesting he learned from Twilight was that the male to female ratio of ponies was 9 to 1, much to his shock and the other races too had a male minority crisis, making the race that has the most balance the minotaurs, with a ratio of 2 to 1. He then got many books from her about basic knowledge of Equestria, mainly History and Language (which was the same as his world much to his amusement).

After he finished clothing himself he ate breakfast and went to the living room with a book about the world's history in his telekinetic grip and sat down on the couch and started reading.

After a few minutes he spoke to himself in interest, "Huh, at "Hearts and Hooves day", a stallion can have multiple special someponies..." And continued to read until he heard a knock on the door.

KNOCK KNOCK

"Coming!" He replied and Teleported to the door and opened it. "Oh hey, girls! What brings you here?" He said with a smile.

All the Mane 6 was in front of his door all smiling. "Hey, Magnus! May we come in?" Twilight spoke at the front of the group.

Magnus then smiled and moved to the side and opened the door widely, "Of course! Come in and make yourselves comfortable." He said.

The Mares thanked him and went in and Magnus closed the door after that and started setting tables and seats for the Mares.

All of them took a seat, Magnus following suit, and asked, "So, what brings you guys here? Can't be Dash's healing again, since all of you came..." He chuckled and so did the Mares, except Rainbow Dash.

"Hey! That only happened a few times!" Rainbow protested.

Magnus deadpanned and replied, "You came to me to heal you 4 times last week."

"Bu-!" Before she could refute Magnus cut her off.

"And it's WEDNESDAY." He said with an even dead-er deadpan.

Rainbow lifted a finger but put it back down with a pout, making others chuckle and giggle more.

Twilight then stopped giggling and spoke to Magnus, "No Magnus, it's not that, were here to ask you something."

"What do you want to ask?" He said tilting his head in confusion.

The Mares seemed to start getting excited, which made Magnus widen his eyes, 'Shit, it can't be that, right? I just read about it! And not ALL of them must've come for that... Right?'

Seeing the Mares looking and nodding at each other and was about to speak in unison, Magnus prepared for the worst and prepared himself.

> Chapter 11: A Medal?
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Previously on the last chapter)

The Mares seemed to start getting excited, which made Magnus widen his eyes, 'Shit, it can't be that, right? I just read about it! And not ALL of them must've come for that... Right?'

Seeing the Mares looking and nodding at each other and was about to speak in unison, Magnus prepared for the worst and prepared himself.


PRINCESS CELESTIA IS GOING TO GIVE YOU A MEDAL!


".................Huh?"

(Present)

Magnus' mind was currently going through great relief and confusion, 'Thank God that it wasn't THAT, but... what do they mean about a medal?' Magnus was confused, so he couldn't help but ask them, "Why... am I getting a medal?"

All of them looked at Magnus with disbelief.

Pinky Pie snapped out first and replied, "For saving Ponyville you silly!"

Magnus was then more confused. "But that was almost more than a month ago! I thought it wasn't much of a big deal, because you guys have saved the world like a bunch of times!" He exclaimed.

Twilight then explained to him, "That's because the Princesses were busy at the castle with the paperwork about materials that were sent here and now that they are done with them, they decided to give you a medal."

Rarity then got excited spoke to him, "And it is not just any medal Darling! It is the medal of heroism!" She said whilst being giddy.

Now that piqued his interest, "Medal of Heroism? What's it about?" He asked.

Twilight then raised one of her brows in confusion and asked, "Didn't you borrow a book about it from me?"

Magnus deadpanned at twilight and replied, "Yeah, among 50 other books you've lent me 2 weeks ago. I may be able to read fast, but that stresses my brain Twilight."

Twilight blushed at that and looked away while others giggled at that.

Rainbow then got back to being excited. "Anyways, this is great! Getting a medal means you officially earn a status as a HERO!"

Magnus was surprised at that, 'An official status of a hero? That clearly wasn't in the canon.' He then looked back at Rainbow and asked, "So, what does getting this status do?"

Rainbow grinned and explained to him, "You get an equal authority as a noble without actually being one and you can temporarily take command of guards or soldiers."

Magnus then raised both of his brows at that. "Huh, that explains how you commanded the pegasus soldiers a month ago..."

Applejack then added with a bit of giddiness too, "And the best part is that you don't have to move to Canterlot even if you get a high status."

Magnus then smiled at that and exclaimed, "That's great!"

The reason why he was happy was that there were rules about where noble ponies must live in Canterlot city. And Magnus did not want to move to Canterlot and deal with snobbish nobles treating him like a freak and acting all high and mighty.

Rarity agreed, "Indeed! It would be quite magnificent to live at Canterlot but the nobles there are less than savory towards... "commoners"..." Rarity scoffed at the end because of her memories with Blueblood.

Twilight then asked Magnus, "So, what do you think Magnus? Don't you think it's great?"

Magnus smiled and replied, "Sure is you guys!" 'This is amazing! To be called a hero officially!' Magnus then got out of his thought asked them a question, "So when are we going?"

Pinkie then replied, "Tomorrow! And with a time skip too! Thanks, Author!"..........Please stop Pinkie........

"Who are you-"

(Timeskip to the next day 8 am)

(At Canterlot Castle Hallways to the throne room)

"-Talking to...?" Magnus asked Pinkie Pie but suddenly forgot what he was asking about.

When he was about to try and remember, he was interrupted.

"Hey, Magnus! You nervous?" Rainbow suddenly asked him.

Magnus looked at Rainbow and replied, "Kind of? I don't know how I feel right now. I mean, it's all so sudden!"

"I'm sorry about that Magnus, the Princesses just felt bad about not giving it to you earlier, so they kind of hurried when they got the chance." Twilight apologized to him.

Magnus shrugged it off, "It's fine Twilight, I'm just worried that I might scare the ponies off or 
just get outright rejected by being called an abomination or a freak." Magnus said worriedly at the end.

Rarity just huffed at that and spoke, "Don't worry darling! With your natural charms and the suit you'll be wearing, you will fit right in!"

Magnus smiled and realized something and spoke to her, "Oh yeah! Thanks for the suit Rarity, you're a lifesaver!"

Rarity puffed up with pride and spoke with a smile, "Anytime darling~."

Magnus smiled at that and saw they've arrived in front of the throne room. "You guys go in first while I prepare myself."

Fluttershy then asked worriedly, "A-... Are you sure we don't need to go in with you?" 

The others also looked at him with worry but Magnus shrugged it off, "I'm not a colt you guys, don't worry, I got this! And if there is a problem, I'll just ask Sergeant Stronghoof here to help me." He said pointing towards a guardsmare beside him.

The guardsmare, now known as Stronghoof was surprised. "How did you know it was me? The guards' armors were enchanted to make the wearer unrecognizable?"

Magnus chuckled and answered, "I have my ways..." He then looked back at the Mane 6, "Now that you all know that, don't worry about me and go in first!"

The Mane 6 nodded and went in while Magnus looked at Stronghoof and asked, "Now, can you tell me where the restroom is Sergeant? I kinda need to change into my suit."

Stronghoof then snapped out of it and answered, "Th- The restroom is this way, sir Magnus." She then led him to the restroom.

(In the Throne room)

The Throne room was a large hall with stained glasses, large white pillars, and other noble ponies that were invited at the sides. There was also a long red carpet that connected from the door to the Thrones and currently 4 ponies were sitting on the throne.

They were Princess Twilight, Celestia, Luna, and a Princess we do not know. She was an alicorn with a pink fur with a 6ft 1in tall slim physique with D-cup breasts and wore a light pink one-piece dress. She had black and pinkish-purple eyes and a peculiar mane with ivory, purple, and pink streaks, and a golden Tiara that covered the base of her horn. This was Cadence, "Ruler of Crystal Empire", "The Best Foal-sitter", and the "Princess of Love".

The other Princesses also wore Tiaras and dresses with their respective colors which made them look drop-dead gorgeous.

But the nobles didn't pay attention to that and were about to get impatient because of the constant waiting they had to go through.

As they were about to start complaining, the guardsmares that were beside the giant door signaled Celestia.

Celestia noticed this and started to speak, "My dear ponies, you all must wondering why I have called you all here all of a sudden."

The nobles nodded at that and Celestia continued, "Well it has to do with the incident where I and my sister's absence 2 weeks ago."

The nobles started murmuring to each other while she still continued, "The reason was because of the urgent news that Princess Twilight has sent about a B-class gate appearing near Ponyville and terrorizing the town, so we departed as fast as we could"

She paused for a moment and continued, "But no worries my ponies, it was solved before we had arrived." The nobles then looked towards the Mane 6 and were about to clap but Celestia cut them off, "And it was neither us nor Elements of Harmony who solved the problem."

The nobles got confused but Luna started speaking, "My ponies, the true reason is to give a medal to the true hero that saved Ponyville by singlehandedly defeating the B-class gate."

Now this made them gasp at this because as it was mentioned before, defeating the B-class gate alone was an Alicorn worthy accomplishment and for a normal pony to do this, it was next to impossible.

Before the commotion could get any bigger, Luna started announcin in the Royal Canterlot Voice.


"MARES AND STALLIONS, MAY WE INTRODUCE MAGNUS MIGHT!!!



HERO OF PONYVILLE!

> Chapter 12: A Medal... and more?
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Previously on the last chapter)

Before the commotion could get any bigger, Luna started announcin in the Royal Canterlot Voice.


"MARES AND STALLIONS, MAY WE INTRODUSE MAGNUS MIGHT!!!



HERO OF PONYVILLE!

(Present)

With the introduction, the guardsmares opened the doors. The nobles focused on the opened doors, eager to know who the stallion whose strength rivaled that of the Alicorns but what they saw shocked them.

What walked out wasn't a stallion or a pony. This figure was tall 6ft 4in and had no fur anywhere that is visible but had a mane on top of his head that was styled in a comb-over. He was wearing a formal black two-piece suit with a white shirt inside that has a black tie on it and a weird hoof shoe where hoof should be. This figure was Magnus Might and he just made a hell of an entrance.

The nobles were quite shocked to see him, well, the stallions mainly because the mares just blushed, including the Mane 6 and the Princesses.

He started walking in a relaxed and confident face with a brilliant smile on his face. While on the way he looked towards Rarity and gave her a grateful wink, he did this because Rarity helped with everything he is wearing including his shoes which must have been hard for her.

Rarity flared up with a flush and fanned at herself and looked the other way.

He chuckled and looked back towards the Princesses. 'Dang, even if they aren't humans, I gotta say they are gorgeous' he thought whilst walking towards them and not losing his smile.

As he got in front of them, he knelt his right leg and his left hand at his side and his right fist on his chest. "I heed the calls of the Rulers of Equestria and it is an honor to be in your presence, your Majesties..." Magnus spoke in a formal and respectful tone.

Seeing this, Celestia smiled and spoke to him, "Rise, Sir Magnus, and the honor is mine, for we have called you here for your extraordinary and heroic feats."

She then signaled the guardsmare next to her. The guardsmare was holding a wide flat red cushion that held a gold medal that is shaped in a Trinity knot to a Triquetra. As the guardsmare came next to him, the Princesses too came down from their thrones with Celestia in the lead. Celestia then the medal and started her speech, "Magnus Might, for your bravery of saving Ponyville and defeating the B-class gate, the Princesses of Equestria gives you the medal of Heroism and a title."

All the ponies in the throne room were shocked at hearing this but the most shocked person was Magnus. For you see, a medal gives you the status equal to a noble but a title, that is a different story. A Title gives you the status that is only second to Royalty and it has been more than thousands of years since anypony that wasn't an alicorn had acquired this title and Magnus wasn't even a pony.

Magnus, of course, knew this from reading the history books and that's why he understood the severity of this situation.

As he was about to refuse, Celestia beats him to it and announces, "Magnus Might, we the Princesses of Equestria give you the title, "Magnus the Powerful" for your unmatched strength!" She then puts the medal on the dumbfounded Magnus' neck.

Magnus stood at that spot frozen and unmoving while the Princesses went back to their thrones and sat down.

And as shit just not hit the fan but broke through the stratosphere, the nobles were now in an outrage. They all spew that "He's not a pony" and "Where is the proof" and anything else along the lines. But what Magnus found odd was there were no demeaning words that were aimed at him.

The reason for this was because when Magnus entered, his demeanor and presence demanded respect from ponies, That coupled with his tall stature and the short speech that clearly told him that he was intelligent had naturally made them be wary of him.

But that didn't mean they were gonna get quieter, so things started to get pretty riled up and before it could get out of control, Luna exclaimed in a Royal Canterlot Voice.


QUIET!!!


And then the rooms were filled with silence, scared pony nobles, and an intrigued Human.

'Huh... So that was the Royal Canterlot Voice... I think I can do that...' Magnus thought.

As she got the necessary silence, Luna continued, "I know that it is quite difficult to believe Sir Magnus' strength... I and my sister too had a hard time believing, so I challenged Sir Magnus to a duel and... Sir Magnus had won easily."

And just like that, Luna had dropped the Hydrogen bomb which made the noble ponies' eyes big as dinner plates and drop their jaws to the ground.

Celestia had a smirk on her muzzle and started speaking, "Since the medalling and the titling is done, you are all excused except for Sir Magnus and the Elements of the Harmony." The nobles all dumbly nodded and went out of the door.

After all of them were gone Celestia spoke to the others left in the room, "You must all be quite hungry, let us go to the dining hall and have a feast, it is quite a joyous occasion after all." She then started walking with the other Princesses towards the dining hall.

The others nodded and followed suit.

(Timeskip)

(At the castle's Dining Hall)

As they had arrived at the dining hall, they all sat at their designated seats around the round table with Magnus sitting between Luna and Twilight.

As they were waiting for their food Magnus started the conversation. "So... I am flattered with it and all but... I never heard anything about me getting a title, the first in thousands of years at that." He said glaring at the Mane 6 and the Princesses except for Cadence.

Twilight then defended herself under his glare, "We're sorry about that Magnus, we thought it would be a good surprise..."

"And who doesn't likes surprises!" Pinkie added.

Magnus sighed and rubbed his eyebrows, Luna then added, "Normally it would only be a medal if we were to only count you saving Ponyville and defeating the monsters..."

Celestia then added, "But you had done more than that Magnus, you helped with the cleanup, you helped with the reconstruction and even after we left, you kept on helping others in the town."

Magnus looked at all the mares then sighed. "Fine, I'll forgive you for tricking me... But there is one more reason that you gave me the title, isn't there? Celestia." He asked looking at the Alicorn of The Sun.

The Mane 6, including Twilight, were all surprised to hear that and looked towards the other Princesses with confusion.

Celestia and Luna both started to look a bit nervous to speak and before they could, Cadence cut in, "You don't have to say it, aunty Luna, aunty Celestia, I'll tell him."

Magnus then looked at Cadence. "You must be Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, I have heard and read many good things about you, it is a pleasure to meet you, Princess." He said while standing up and bowing.

Cadence then replied back, "The pleasure is mine, Sir Magnus, I too have heard of your feats, and please, just call me Cadence."

Magnus smiled at that and said, "Okay Cadence." But then got serious right after and asked her, "You said that you know the other reason, and judging by how Luna and Celestia act, I think it's quite a big one."

Cadence and the rest were surprised a bit at his sudden serious tone, but Cadence calmed herself. "It is... Because what we are about to ask of you to do is a dangerous task." She said in a grave tone.

Celestia and Luna had a bit of a sad look and Rainbow seemed to have a realization.

Cadence continued with a deep breath, "Magnus the Powerful, we the Princesses of Equestria sincerely ask of you to the coming 3rd attempt of retaining Cloudsville" She said with a serious tone.

"Okay" He replied nonchalantly with a relaxed impression.

For a moment the Princesses and the Mane 6 were nodding because they thought he refused, but after a moment to process what he said, all of them snapped their necks towards his direction and exclaimed.


"HUH?!"

> Chapter 13: A Hero's Duty
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Previously on the last chapter)

Cadence continued with a deep breath, "Magnus the Powerful, we the Princesses of Equestria sincerely ask of you to the coming 3rd attempt of retaining Cloudsville" She said with a serious tone.

"Okay" He replied nonchalantly with a relaxed impression.

For a moment the Princesses and the Mane 6 were nodding because they thought he refused, but after a moment to process what he said, all of them snapped their necks towards his direction and exclaimed.


"HUH?!"


(Present)

Magnus chuckled at their antics because for once, he wasn't the one saying that word. "What's with your reactions? You guys actually thought that I would say no?" He spoke in a questioning tone.

Cadence snapped out of it first and coughed. "I'm sorry Magnus, it's just that... We thought you would refuse..."

Markus gave her a wide smile and spoke, "But if I refused, then I won't be fulfilling my duty."

Cadence tilted her head in confusion while the other mares seemed to notice and smile brightly. "Exactly what duty is it?"

Magnus then chuckled and replied, "A duty to help those in need, a duty butt in other's affairs, a duty where I must be brave for others." He then paused and looked at her with a determined smile and spoke, "A duty to be a Hero."

Cadence was surprised by his answer and then smiled warmly at him. "I see, my aunties were right about you..." She spoke with a look of respect for him.

Magnus gave her an even wider smile and seemed to realize something. "So why did you need to give me a title to ask for my help?" He asked the Princesses.

Luna snapped out of her dumbfoundedness and explained to him, "Well, there is a law that prevents normal ponies from fighting the monsters from the gates voluntarily, and the only way to fight them is to have a military rank or if you are given a title that proves your prowess."

Celestia then seemed to don an apologetic expression. "Most of the reason we gave you this title was to gain your help in the reclamation of Cloudsdale... I apologize if it feels like we're forcing you." She told him in an apologetic tone.

Magnus then waved it off. "It's fine, if anything, you could've just asked me because as a Hero and as a friend, I would have helped." He said smiling warmly to Rainbow and Celestia.

Celestia looked thankful and Rainbow seem to blush at that.

Knock Knock

They all turn to the door and heard the voice of a mare, "We have brought your meals for your Highnesses and the guests."

Magnus then smiled at Celestia. "Let's continue after we have our dinner." He said.

Celestia nodded and told them to come in.

(Timeskip)

Nothing much happened during Dinner, some questions here and there, some blatant show of dissatisfaction towards paperwork, and mainly about Magnus' powers.

"So you can actually stop time?" Cadence asked in a surprised tone.

Magnus smiled and replied, "No, I'm not stopping time, The World is just accelerating the chronon particles around me so much that everything seems to have stopped to me for about 3 seconds."

"Interesting..." said Cadence while Rainbow seemed to be more confused and Twilight writing down notes.

Magnus chuckled and then turned to the other Princesses. "So, since we are done with our meals, let's get back to the topic at hand, shall we?" He said as his expression turned focused.

Cadence nodded. "Yes, let us start." She replied while turning to Celestia and Luna, who in turn nodded.

Seeing this, he started first. "So, last time I heard about this gate, Rainbow said that the monsters were harpies... What do they look like? What abilities do they have? How many of them are they? What does their Boss look like?" He asked them.

Celestia turned serious and answered, "They are bipedal, standing on clawed feet and mostly female, they have a bird-like head and have wings for arms, a 4-5 hoof body which makes them quite agile, fast as or faster than normal adult pegasi. Their main ways of attacking are by using sounds to disorient us and swoop in and cut us into pieces with their claws. Normally this alone wouldn't be much of a threat but the real problem lies in the fact that they attack in an overwhelming number of 5000."

Magnus nodded and was already making plans for them inside his head. "So what about the boss?"

Rainbow then suddenly cut in their conversation. "It is also a female, we call it the harpy queen, it is mostly the same with other harpies except that it's 7 hoofs tall and has a horn on its head. It is also very fast, fast as me in Sonic Rain-Boom  state, couple that with its size, it's unstoppable..." She gritted her teeth at the last sentence.

As she finished talking, the room was silent. Until Magnus spoke, "I have a plan."

All heads snapped at him and Rainbow spoke, "What is it?"

He then looked at them seriously and started to speak. "First you need to make me a bunch of blades without handles or guards on them..."

(Timeskip)

(At the skies near Cloudsdale)

Over the skies near Canterlot, there was a giant mass of a cloud with buildings on it, or what's left of it. This was Cloudsdale and before it was turned into ruins, it was a flourishing city filled with rainbows and happy pegasus ponies but now... The rainbows were not there anymore, neither was the happy pegasus ponies speeding through the skies.

Near the sky where Clouddale was at, a regiment of pegasus ponies armed to the teeth was divided into companies, and each company was holding 2 carriages each, filled with earth ponies and unicorn ponies, also armed to the teeth.

Leading the regiment at the front of the regiment was Celestia, Luna, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Cadence, and Magnus wearing their respective armors.

Twilight looked worriedly at Magnus and asked, "You never actually told us what exactly you'd do with the blades, Magnus."

"Indeed I too am quite confused with what purpose these will serve." Celestia also added in curiosity while pointing towards the blades that were carried on a giant wheelbarrow.

Magnus then replied, "Don't worry about it, just remember that after I'm finished, the numbers of harpies would be dropped from 5000 to a thousand or so and till then, enjoy the show."

The mares nodded and went back to the regiment.

Magnus then looked at the squad that was holding the giant wheelbarrow. "Until I'm finished, please keep on holding the Wheelbarrow please, I don't want to waste."

They all looked at each other while nodding and looked at him with curiosity.

Magnus then looked to the slowly approaching Cloudsdale and breathed in slowly. 'I dedicate this to you, Kuchiki Byakuya' Then he closed his eyes for a moment while his body was covered in an aura and exhaled while speaking one word that reverberated throughout the skies for all to hear.


"BAN...KAI..."

> Chapter 14: Battle for Clouds-dale (Part 1)
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Previously on the last chapter)

Magnus then looked to the slowly approaching Cloudsdale and breathed in slowly. 'I dedicate this to you, Kuchiki Byakuya' Then he closed his eyes for a moment while his body was covered in an aura and exhaled while speaking one word that reverberated throughout the skies for all to hear.


"BAN...KAI..."


(Present)

That one word moved throughout the skies and spread chills down in everyponies' spines.

Magnus then opened his glowing eyes and grasped the blades on the wheelbarrows with his Telekinesis and made them float and spread them out near him while pointing them towards Cloudsdale.

His eyes then started crackling with purple electricity and covered his body with it while he started his sentence.


"Chire..."


The purple electricity now started spreading towards the floating blades and covered them with his purple electricity but for some reason, the blades turned pink instead of purple

After the blades were all covered and crackling with purplish-pink electricity, he tilted his body and pointed his palm towards Cloudsdale and finished his sentence.


SENBONZAKURA KAGEYOSHI......


(Right before his attack started)

(Down at Canterlot)

Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie, Rarity, and others were down at Canterlot preparing to receive the injured, they weren't naive to expect that such a large scale operation wouldn't have any injuries or deaths. So they were all busily moving around medical supplies and tents, then suddenly, a gasp was heard from a wide-eyed mare pointing her finger to the sky.

They all followed where her finger pointed and also couldn't help but widen their eyes too at the sight.

On the far-away sky, blades, all crackling with purplish-pink lightning and pointed towards the approaching Cloudsdale, and weirdly enough, the pink blades looked like......

"Cherry Blossoms..." Rarity and Fluttershy muttered at the same time while they watched the dangerous yet beautiful piece of art while remembering the time they went to Neighpon.

Then suddenly, a gentle but stern voice was carried throughout Canterlot which sent shivers down the spines of ponies within.


SENBONZAKURA KAGEYOSHI......


(Back to Magnus)

With those words, all the swords shot out, ripping through the air, and headed towards Cloudsdale with respective sonic-booms.

For a moment it was silent until they heard multiple shrill shrieks from Cloudsdale.

SHREEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!

And then one by one, then 5, then 100 small dots started to drop from Cloudsdale. These were harpies and they were all charred with slash marks on them.

All the ponies whether in the skies or at Canterlot dropped their jaws.

Cadence muttered in disbelief, "He's taking them out by 100s from such a distance..."

Twilight then added, "Final Release: Vibrant Scape of Thousand Cherry Blossoms...... Neighponese again..."

All of the Ponies watched and heard Harpies shriek and fall like they were nothing by Magnus, whilst Magnus seemed very focused and still crackling with lightning.

'I thought they were exaggerating when they said 5000... They weren't.' He thought while sensing the absurd numbers of Harpies in Cloudsdale. 'It also seems the boss is too fast for my Telekinesis alone to follow...' He thought while sensing dozens of blades that were trying to attack the boss break even before it reached. 'Welp... I guess I'll get as many fodders down before I tire myself out too much...'

(Timeskip: About a minute or so later)

'That's as much as I can get.' He thought while wiping sweats off of his brows. 'Now to call them back.' He thought while bringing all the blades that were still not broken back and placing most of them on the wheelbarrow and keeping about a dozen of them with him

He then looked at the dumbfounded looks he was getting and thought, 'As much as I want to be quippy, it's not the time for that...' He then went to the Princesses and Rainbow and spoke, "There's about 600-700 of them including the boss, I had to stop before tiring myself out."

All of them seem to dumbly nod while Rainbow squealed "So... AWESOME...!".

That seemed to snap down and Celestia spoke, "Y- Yes th- thank you, Magnus." Celestia then coughed in her hands and turned around to start speaking. "My brave ponies, most of you here have lost their homes, friends, and loved ones. You all have gone through so much pain and suffering..." She said while looking down. "But you have all held on and endured throughout those and for what? For this moment, for justice, for love, for friendship... For Harmony..." She then looked up with a look of burning determination and continued, "My ponies, it is time to avenge and reclaim your homes!" She then looked towards and shouted in a Royal Canterlot Voice.

"FOR HARMONY!!!"

The ponies shouted with her.

"FOR HARMONY!!!"

She then shouted again even louder.

"FOR CLOUDSDALE!!!!!!"

Magnus joined in and shouted with the others with his own version of Royal Canterlot Voice.

"FOR CLOUDSDALE!!!!!!"

And they all charged, each shouting out their warcry and at this moment, your gender and species did not matter, for they were all brothers and sisters in arms. And they were all huddled under one goal, the reclamation of Cloudsdale.

Magnus was currently charging at the front lines along with the Princesses and his blades. "I'll go in first and blow a path straight through the place where the boss is at."

Rainbow then called out to him and questioned, "Are you actually going to fight the queen alone?" She looked worried.

"Yes," He replied. "It was faster than what you said Dash, how you described it made it sound like it was between Mach 1 and 2 but when I sensed it breaking the blades, it was at least Mach 3."

Luna then chimed in with a look of more worry. "Then we must fight together, it is clearly too much for you to handle!" Luna pleaded.

Magnus looked determined and spoke, "No, only I can take it down safely enough, while you guys will have a hard time."

The mares were about to retort but Magnus cut them off, "Please, I don't want my friends to be hurt... again......"

They all saw this and sighed. Rainbow, with a sudden look of determination, got close to him and gave him a kiss on the lips and spoke, "Don't you get hurt either you idiot..."

Magnus seemed surprised while the Princesses looked at her with envy. Magnus then smiled warmly at her and spoke, "I will... Don't worry..." He then looked in the direction of the Harpy queen and Teleported near the boss.

After he disappeared, waves of Harpies started coming out of Cloudsdale and charged towards them.

But Rainbow was not afraid, filled with determination, and hope towards her hero, she shouted out loud with a smile.


"CHARGE!!!!"

(Street near the Park at Cloudsdale)

A figure could be seen floating towards the direction, this figure was wearing an overall silver armor that had a blue cape/scarf on the neck and within the outer plate was a chain armor. This was Magnus, wearing the armor of "Artorias the Abyss walker" without the greatsword.

'Thank you, Jiffy Smith, I look kick ass thanks to you...' Thought Magnus while chuckling at the memory of the armor making pony's reaction.

[FLASHBACK]

"Please draw more some schematics for me!" A Burly earth pony with a stuffy beard begged while grabbing on Magnus' foot.

"Alright! Alright! I'll draw you more... just finish the armor before the battle!" Magnus spoke while trying to get out of the muscular pony's hands.

[END OF FLASHBACK]

Magnus chuckled more at the memory again and spoke, "Man... Ponies are so fun to hang out with......" He then donned a cold look and looked towards the park. "You on the other hand... Not so much..." He spoke in an even colder tone looking at the middle of the park.

In the middle of the park were nests made out of bones and sticks, and also a big throne made out of the same materials. Sitting on the throne was the Harpy queen, looking at Magnus with a sinister smile.

Magnus kept his menacing look through his helm. "Not that a bird brain like you would understand what I'm talking about..." He said in a condescending tone.

...
.........
..................
...........................

They kept on looking at their opponent until there was a sound.

BOOM!

A sound of the sound barrier being breached could be heard with a rainbow circle from far away.

BOOOOM!!!!!!

Then with another louder sonic boom, they both charged at each other; Magnus with his Lightning crackling around him and the blades and the Harpy Queen flying to him with her sharp claws.

(Different part of Cloudsdale)

Sounds of swords hitting claws, claws hitting armor, blades cutting flesh, and magic sizzling feathers could be heard.

WHOOSH!

A rainbow blur went pass-through a harpy and decapitated it.

BZZT!-BANG!

A white bolt of magic hit a harpy and exploded, taking 4 others. 

BAM! SHINK! ZAP

A blue hoof bucked a harpy, then a Black spear went through another one and the last one was electrocuted to ash.

BZZZZT!!!

A volley of pink and purple magic bolts was charged and sent to the approaching Harpies.

The Princesses and the ponies were fighting the army of harpies, the Princesses could handle a couple of harpies by themselves but the problem lied on the other ponies, an average trained pony can barely handle one S-class beast and win with difficulty and winded with 3, Rainbow Dash and Applejack were an exception with there abnormal strength and speed. This made the battle hard for the Canterlot army, even with the massively decreased numbers of Harpies thanks to Magnus.

But even with all this, the ponies fighting did not have despair or hopelessness in their eyes, in fact, some of them were outright smiling. The reason for this was because they could see the hope, they could see that it is not impossible to win against these horrifying monsters, that they can win against such monstrosities, and that gave them courage.

Luna then struck a harpy with the spear and spoke to Celestia, "Sister! We can do this! It is possible!"

Celestia then crushed a harpy with her shield. "Indeed sister, if this goes on, we can definitely do this!"

Twilight then finished her volley at the harpies and spoke, "We can! But there is still the boss! Magnus did say he can handle it alone but... Can he really handle the S-class Boss?"

"Yes, he can!" Rainbow said while cutting the wings off of 2 harpies, making them fall. "He will." She said in a determined voice.

(Back to Magnus)

CLANG!

Claw scratch armor

BAM!

Fist meets hide

BAM! CLANG! BAM! CLANG! BAM! CLANG! BAM! CLANG! BAM! CLANG! BAM! CLANG! BAM! CLANG! BAM!

Two blurs, one covered in feathers and the other covered in armor and lightning were receiving and dishing out attacks at each other at speeds that no normal pony nor human could perceive.

'Damn! This thing is a lot faster than I thought!' He thought while blocking a claw and countering it with a punch, only for it to dodge it. 'This thing is faster than Mach 4! Possibly Mach 5 or 6!' He thought while trying to dodge a claw to his head.

CLANK!

But it hits his helmet off and cuts his cheeks with it.

'Okay, that's it...' He thought with a piercing gaze.

He then commanded his blades and sent them towards it at high speed to keep it busy and Teleported about 100 feet away.

"I really didn't want to use this, I already used a lot of Psi and it's tiring." He sighed while saying this and activated Parallel Mind.

He closed his eyes and kept his one mind on the swords while using the other to start concentrating his Psi around him only.

The Harpy Queen, whilst dodging the blades, suddenly had a shiver down its spine and the beckoning danger signal its instincts were sending. It then looked at Magnus concentrating on something, the boss' instinct then urged, begged, to stop him from whatever it was gonna do.

The boss then let out a very loud shriek for all Cloudsdale to hear.

SHREEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!!

Which let out a shock wave and deflected all the blades and then shot towards Magnus at a speed of whopping Mach 10.

Magnus knew it was coming at him but kept his eyes closed and as it was about to sink its claws in his head, he just smirked at that moment and shouted.


Za Warudo! Toki yo tomare!!!


Then suddenly, the queen's claws stopped right in front of his eyes as the world turned grey.

Magnus then sighed while his nose started bleeding. 'Good grief, that was close... I got only 3 seconds to move...' He then looked at the frozen Harpy. 'but that's all I need...... I dedicate this to you Jotaro Kujo......' He thought while getting his fists to his sides.

1 second

He hardened his fists and enhanced his arms to the maximum and spoke one word while blood started coming out of his nose. 

ORA!

And lashed out a punch that could destroy an apartment but he didn't let up and kept on punching with the same strength.

2 second

ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA!

ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA!

He then stopped and reinforced/hardened his right arm to the maximum which tore his armor on his right arm to pieces. 'And this to you All Might!' He thought while shot his last attack towards its head and shouting out loud.

DETROIT SMASH!!!!!

3 second

He then turned around and spoke with all his orifices and right arm bleeding.


Tokiwa Ugoki Dasu...

> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Previously on the last chapter)

3 second

He then turned around and spoke with all his orifices and right arm bleeding.


Tokiwa Ugoki Dasu...


(Present)

As he finished, the world regained its color as The World ended, and as time resumed...

SPLORT!!! CRUNCH!!! BANG!!!!

The Harpy Queen's hides were ripped and blood splashed out of those wounds as the bones of its body were also crushed to fine pieces-

BOOOM!!!

-and was sent to the other side of the park with a melon-sized puncture wound on its torso along with a shock-wave.

HUFF!!! PUFF!!!

Magnus was panting loudly with blood on his face and holding his broken and bleeding right arm. But even with how drained and injured he was, he kept his eyes on the corpse.

'I'm not done yet, a hero mustn't rest.' He thought while floating towards the corpse. 'Defeating evil is just one of the things a hero does...' He then picked up the corpse by its neck with his left arm. "There is still one more thing I must do..." He spoke while flying towards where the ponies were at with the boss' corpse on his hand.

(At the Battlefield)

Corpses were littered everywhere and surprisingly, all of them belonged to the harpies and on the clouds there weren't any ponies lay, they were all tired and were catching their breaths.

"Are you sure we do not need to go and help him Dash?" Luna asked Rainbow some minor injuries on her while panting a bit.

"I am sure he is fine." She said while looking in the direction where sonic booms and a loud shout came from.

"The World, Time will Stop... Again with Neighponese... Wait... He used that move?!" Twilight exclaimed looking at Rainbow.

"Yup! So he'll be fine..." She said while having a confident expression.

Twilight then paled and yelled at her, "Dash! Don't you remember that stopping time is very taxing for him?!"

Rainbow then also paled with a look of realization.

And when she was about to dash towards where he was, she was stopped by a loud but familiar voice that reverberated throughout the battlefield.


"Proud ponies and Princesses of Canterlot!"


All the ponies looked towards where the voice came from and was surprised to see Magnus with a limp bloody arm and a bloody face above them whilst holding something on his other arm.


"For a year long time, you all went through pain of loss..." 


He continued not minding his injuries and looked at the brave ponies who fought for what they held dear.


"You all fought for your home..."


He said while she looked at Cadence.


"...For your friends..."


He then looked at Twilight and Luna


"...For your families...


Then Celestia


"...For what you each held dear..."


Lastly, he looked at Rainbow Dash and shifted his view to all the ponies.


"And for such bravey......."


He paused for a moment.


"I BRING YOU VICTORY!"


He then lifted his left arm that held the sign of victory for all of them to see and declared with a loud voice.


"Cloudsdale has been reclaimed!!!!!!!!"


The ponies all roared in victory, for they have finally reclaimed Cloudsdale and defeated the S-class Gate.

As they were celebrating, Magnus slowly descended and dropped the corpse and held his left hand up. This made the ponies roar louder in the revelry of their victory. Rainbow Dash and the Princesses all cried while watching this, they finally reclaimed Cloudsdale by defeating the S-class gate, never in any other kingdoms were any cases of the defeating of an S-class gate since the gates started to appear. And because of that, this feat, this victory will surely be written down in history, for the valiant and brave efforts of ponies and one human... no... a HERO...

With that Magnus smiled and looked towards the approaching mares.

Rainbow then came to him and hugged him. "You idiot! You made us worried sick!" She said while crying.

Magnus then separated from her and looked to the rest and spoke, "Sorry for making you guys worry, the boss was a lot stronger than I expect-hack!"

SPLAT! THUD!

Magnus coughed out a mouthful of blood that fell on the cloud along with his body.

All of their eyes widened and pupils shrunk to pinpricks as they saw his body fall.

"Magnus!!!"

The mares all shouted in unison as they saw his fallen body.

Celestia quickly snapped out of her shock and shouted in her tired Royal Canterlot Voice, 

"Medic!!!"

(Time skip)

(Somewhere and nowhere at the same time)

Magnus was floating in a black void with his legs crossed and his right arm on his chin with his elbow on his knee in a thinking position.

"Wherein the blue Tartarus is this place!!!" Magnus shouted throughout the void while shooting out of "The Thinker" pose.

Magnus woke up a few moments ago, only to find himself floating aimlessly through the abyss with his powers not responding.

He was frustrated, he gripped his hair while asking himself, "Did I die again? Is this the afterlife?"

"No your not Sir Magnus, this is the Limbo, the barrier between life and death..." A motherly and gentle voice spoke.

Ha then snapped his head back up while getting ready to fight, finding an Alicorn in front of him.

'Wait, Alicorn?' Magnus thought to himself.

Magnus then looked at the Alicorn with wide eyes and asked her with an utterly confused voice, "Who are you?"

This Alicorn was, of course, a mare, she was 6ft 5in with a curvy figure and a D-cup breast, wearing a one-piece dress made out of light which seriously made Magnus wonder why he wasn't blinded yet. She had a brownish-red mane that flowed like Celestia and Luna, she had light cyan-blue eyes that seemed to faintly glow.

The mysterious Alicorn still had her motherly smile and answered, "My name is Lauren Faust; Creator of Equus, Queen of Equestria, and the Proud mother of the Sun and Moon."

Magnus's eyes widened more and tried to ask another question, only for Faust to cut him off and continue, "And no, I am not your world's Lauren Faust."

Magnus looked at her with more confusion before calming down. "I have a... few... questions..." He said while rubbing the bridge of his nose.

"And I will gladly answer them." She said with a gentle smile.

Magnus collected his thoughts and then looked at her. "Are you the one sent me here?" He asked, straight to the point.

Faust's smile dropped and answered, "Yes..."

"How?" He asked

She then looked at him with a saddened look. "After you have died, I brought your soul through the gaps of reality and created a carbon copy of your body through your soul."

Magnus continued and asked his prepared questions, "Why me?"

"I chose you because I have watched how you have lived with a heart of gold that truly believed in the ideals of a hero, which in turn made me believe in you to be my choice. That's why I have chosen you to bring here when you died." She said with a tone of respect.

Magnus then looked at her with a gentle smile. "Thank you..." He said in an earnest voice.

This surprised Faust a bit. "Aren't you angry that I have brought you here without your consent?" She asked.

Magnus then smiled gently at her. "I would be if this was about a month ago but... If it wasn't you, I would not have been able to meet the girls who have been my family and friends..." He spoke in a grateful tone.

Faust then smiled ever more so warmly at him. "Then I thank you for your gratitude and acceptance." She said thanking him.

He smiled brightly but seemed to realize something. "Queen Faust? Do you know what the Gates are? And who is making them?" He asked whilst remembering his last question.

Faust frowned and replied, "They are paths that bridges worlds made by a god from another world to invade and conquer Equus."

Magnus couldn't help but ask of this questionable act, "Why would he want to conquer Equus??"

"His planet is dying so he decided to take Equus for themselves to conquer with his minions..." She continued

He couldn't help but question the behavior of the god, "Why? Can't that god just ask for refuge? What made him 
take this method?"

Faust seemed to be more disgusted and replied, "Greed and nothing else... That's what doomed his planet and also the reason why he plans to take Equus, just to satisfy his greed."

Magnus was speechless, the sheer stupidity and simplicity of the reason just baffled him.

While Magnus was starting to think about how to beat the god's ass all the way to Sunday, Faust suddenly spoke.

"Sir Magnus, I know you have gone through many hardships... But I wish to ask of you to do a favor," Faust said while looking guilty to ask.

"Okay, I'll do it..." Magnus said nonchalantly

.  .  .

After a moment that seemed like a millennium, Faust replied

"Hmm?"

(Previously on the last chapter)

"Sir Magnus, I know you have gone through many hardships... But I wish to ask of you to do a favor," Faust said while looking guilty to ask.

"Okay, I'll do it..." Magnus said nonchalantly

.  .  .

After a moment that seemed like a millennium, Faust replied

"Hmm?"

(Present)

Silence ensued.

Faust looked at Magnus with eyes wide as saucers, add the fact that her eyes were glowing... You get the point.

Magnus chuckled. "I said, I will do it, you were probably gonna say; "Please save Equus" or "Please defeat the god and his armies" or something of those lines right?"

The Equestria's creator couldn't help herself and nod dumbly at that. "But-" She tried to say but was cut off.

Magnus chuckled louder. "Man, for a pony who watched me for such a long time, you seem to forget one of my ideals." He said with a very toothy grin.

Faust's eyes widened before smiling. "It is never wrong to help," She started.

"And more so when they ask for help." Magnus finished with an ear to ear toothy smile.

Faust sighed. "Indeed, it was very foolish of me to ask you such a question, especially since I know you..." She said with an "Of course! How can I forget that?! " tone.

"If it helps, you aren't the first to make that mistake." He said while chuckling.

She smirked. "As it seems to be further insulting you to question your Ideal, I will skip to the part where I describe our enemies..." She said with her voice getting serious.

Magnus also got serious and got ready to hear it.

"The name of the god you will be facing is Karthenon, the god who killed all the other gods in his world to sate his thirst for power. He killed anyone who denied him, many tried to defeat him, all failed to do so, and that only made him stronger by taking their powers." She said trying not to wrinkle her face in disgust and continued, " I found that he was my equal in power while we fought... And like a coward he was, he sealed me within limbo with a powerful artifact from his world during our fight whilst he retreated with the wounds that I inflicted on him that I made sure for it to take time to heal."

Magnus then asked a question, "Queen Faust, how strong is he?"

Faust then looked at him with an apologetic look. "Much stronger than the harpy queen you have faced, so much stronger than it makes the former seem like an ant." She said with narrowed eyes.

Magnus scrunched up his eyebrows at that with worry, he would be lying if he said he wasn't outclassed.

Faust then brightened up. "Fret not Sir Magnus, for he was gravely injured and would take at least a year in Equus' time to heal, enough time for you to become stronger." She said with a hopeful look.

Magnus raised one of his eyebrows in confusion. "What do you mean to become stronger?" He asked her.

Faust smiled at that and answered, "For you see, Sir Magnus, when I moved your soul into a carbon copy of your previous body, I took the liberty to add some Features... to give you an... Edge..."

Now he was really curious. "Exactly what kind of Features?" He asked curiously.

Faust gave him an eye smile. "First of all, I removed your Psi limiter" She said nonchalantly.

And just like that, Magnus froze in place with his mind blown away.

Psi Limiter, literally the limiter that was put in place when any Psi users were born, it limited how much you can grow your Psi capacity. Not having a Psi Limiter means that one can grow the capacity indefinitely, meaning theoretically one can attain such a large amount of Psi that it would let them perform feats next to impossible.

Faust did not give him time to collect his thoughts and dropped the next bomb, "You also can use magic."

This time Magnus' mouth was agape. "You got to be kidding me... right?" He said in awe.

Faust giggled. "No, I am not "kidding" Sir Magnus, I knew you weren't prepared to handle the god and his strongest minions, so I made it so that you can certainly be prepared if given time." She said with some mirth in her voice.

Magnus seemed overwhelmed. "I-I don't know what to say... Thank you for the gifts, Queen Faust." He said gratefully.

Faust then replied, "Just Faust is fine Sir Magnus and it is what I must do for the person who helped Equus so much already."

Magnus smiled at that. "Then you can just call me Magnus, Faust." He said in a voice full of gratitude.

CRACK!!!

With a loud sound, the void suddenly started cracking with bright rays of light coming through them.

Magnus panicked a little. "What is happening?" He asked.

Faust was calm. "You are waking up from your short coma." She said, with her voice equally calm.

Magnus looked back at her. "How long was I in it?" He said remembering that he collapsed.

"About a week if I'm correct." She said while cracks seemed to further progress. "Magnus... Please tell them that I was sorry that I left them 2 and a half millennia ago, and tell them I love them..." She said with some tears threatening to fall from her eyes.

Magnus looked at her with a smile. "Of course I will, after all, I wouldn't be a hero if I don't help a mother worried about her children." He said with a gentle voice.

CRASH!!!!!!!

And with that, the void shattered, covering his vision with a blinding light, before seeing the single most gentle smile he had seen from Faust.

(Canterlot Castle)

Magnus' eyes fluttered open and he immediately sensed his surroundings with his passive Energy-Sensing range. He was in a fancy room on a fancy bed with IVs attached on to his left arm. He then slowly got up from his bed and stood in front of the fancy mirror in the room and saw him a bit skinnier than the last time with a hospital gown over it and a small stubble of beard growing on his face.

"Guess it has been about a week..." He muttered to himself. 

Growl~~~

He chuckled a bit weakly and looked at his stomach. "That also proves it..." He said to himself huskily.

Gasp!!!

CLANK!!!

He immediately turned his head towards where the sound came and saw a nurse mare standing in front of the door with a dropped IV stands with both her hands on her mouth while looking at him with wide eyes.

"...Uh... hi?" was his intelligent reply.

She then seemed to snap out of it and immediately bolted out of the room and went to Faust knows where.

He then looked at where the nurse left with confusion, before shrugging it off. 'I wonder why she ran away like that... It wasn't fear but mostly surprise and... joy?' The last emotion he sensed from the mare seemed to confuse him more.

He then shook his head. 'Anyways I have more urgent things to do... Magic...' He thought to himself while he closed his eyes and concentrate on himself. 'Let's see... I should first turn off my Psi...' He thought and he immediately couldn't sense things around him anymore. 'Good thing I learned how to turn my Psi off... Okay, the book "How to Magic for Foals" by Starswirl said to first feel the magic around you...' He thought before feeling like he was submerged in water. "Woah..." He said. 'If Psi was like fire, Magic feels like water...' He thought before opening his eyes.

"Woah..." He said as he saw himself in the mirror and saw himself glowing unlike simmering like Psi.

"Neat..." He said to himself before turning his Psi on again. "Still gonna take a day or 2 to get used to..." He talked to himself before he sensed magic suddenly concentrating in front of the open door.

As the Magic seemed to converge on that point it seemed to sparkle before.

SPARK!!! (If there is such a SFX...)

It sparked brightly and in its place was Celestia and a blue blur that seemed to get closer.

'Huh?'

THUMP!

"Magnus!" Luna shouted out loud.

Taking only half a second to understand the situation, he smiled at Luna. "Hey, Luna..." He said in a bit strained voice.

She then looked up at him and started staring at him with tears forming on her eyes.

Magnus's heart felt like it was aching when he saw Luna. "Look I'm sorry if I worried you- Mmph?" He tried to apologize, only to be stopped by Luna giving a deep kiss on his lips.

Magnus' eyes widened and seemed to have frozen in contact with the soft, minty, blueberry lips.

He could feel regret, determination, appreciation, anger, sadness, and..... LOVE.

Before he could delve into the last thought, Luna separated from him and stared at him with teary eyes.

Magnus was still greatly confused, he knew that mares found him attractive but not to the level of love.

"Luna wha-"

"I love you!" Luna declared

Magnus looked at her while uttering one word.

"Huh?"
> Chapter 18: Catching up
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Previously on the last chapter)

"I love you!" Luna declared

Magnus looked at her while uttering one word.

"Huh?"

(Present)

Magnus just stared at her, the kiss, the love he felt, and her declaration... It all........

Before anything could happen......

"Ehem!"

A fake cough could be heard behind them.

"I think that is enough, for now since the guards, doctors, and Nurses will soon arrive..." She said with a faint blush. "Or would you 2 want to spread the news~~?" She said while looking back at them with a teasing smirk.

They then looked at each other in very close proximity, so they immediately separated with blushes and stood up. Although Magnus was pale instead, which he quickly rectified before the princesses noticed.

Celestia giggled and then looked back up at Magnus. "It is good to see you up, Magnus... We thought you may not wake up at all..."

Magnus tilted his head in confusion. "Why? were my injuries that serious?" He asked.

Luna then answered for her sister, "No, the injuries could be healed and blood loss was easily dealt with... The real problem was the shock your brain went through which caused you to go brain dead... When I heard that... I was so..." 

Luna seemed to cry again and Magnus although still shaken, still didn't like her crying, so he hugged her. "It's ok... I'm fine now..." He said while patting her back.

While hugging/patting, he spoke to clear the misunderstanding, "And the Brain death part? I can't go brain dead." 

Luna was surprised that she leaned back and looked at him while still in a hug. "What do you mean you can't go brain dead? You clearly were-" But was cut off by Magnus.

"It only looked like I was brain dead... That was just Psi exhaustion, a symptom that happens when you use all your Psi up, and to others, it may seem like brain death but it's just my brain going through an emergency shutdown in order to take a rest, which greatly resembles brain death." He explained to them.

"But then why did it take so long for you to heal?" She asked.

Magnus then scrunches his brows. "That I don't know... The only time that happened was when a Psi user expands there Psi capacity......!" His eyes turned wide and immediately check his capacity.

Magnus seemed to be frozen in place, which greatly worried the diarchy until he started laughing.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

He kept on laughing which in turn made the sisters confused until suddenly he brought both of them into a hug and exclaimed, "Luna! Celestia! Your Mother is amazing!"

Luna and Celestia snapped their heads towards him with great confusion and say one word.

"Huh?"

(Time skip)

(Canterlot Castle Dining Hall)

"So you are telling me, you met our mother in limbo, who has been trapped in there by another god Karthenon, and received gifts, one which lets you limitlessly grow this, Psi capacity and the other, which lets you use Magic?" She said all at once without taking a breather, which was impressive.

"Yup!" Magnus agreed while gorging into his food like there's no tomorrow.

Celestia and Luna both pinched the bridge of their noses with tear marks on their face, they have raged and cried while hearing about their not-so-dead mother and how she was sorry about leaving them due to her circumstances. Magnus started eating after they finished crying and brightened up while explaining the enemies that are to come and ravage the lands.

Luna, seated right next to him with a bit puffy eyes due to crying spoke, "This... is a lot to take in Magnus and the fact that the S-class gate wasn't the highest threat... that disturbs me the most..."

Magnus nodded and swallowed his food. "And that's why I ask of you to teach me magic, I must get stronger than now in order to fight Karthenon." He said seriously, looking like his old self.

Magnus used Enhanced Metabolism, which sped up his Metabolism by a few dozen times with Psi enhancing and now he's back to himself before he fell into a coma.

"But what about your Psi Capacity? Shouldn't you train on that too?" Luna asked.

Magnus smirked. "I already am training it." He said smugly.

Luna looked at him in confusion. "What do you mean you are already training?" She asked.

Magnus then asked Luna, "You remember Parallel Mind?" Luna nodded. "I'm currently using my other mind to do Psi meditation." He said with his smirk turning into a grin.

Luna's eyes widened. "That's cheating..." She mumbled.

"I agree..." Celestia said with equally wide eyes.

Magnus chuckled. "Yeah, this training method was why I was one of the strongest Psi users in my world." He said with pride in his voice.

The rulers just shook their heads.

Celestia then seemed to remember something. "Oh yes, I forgot!" She looked towards Magnus. "I called the Elements here, they will be here in a few moments!" She said while clapping her hands.

Magnus then tilted his head in confusion. "Called?... You haven't told them I was awake haven't you?" He said while sending Celestia a mild glare.

Celestia and Luna giggled. "It is a surprise," Celestia said.

"And it will be a good one at that..." Luna added with a smile.

Magnus sighed. "That's mean of you guys, you do know they have been very worried about me for the whole time I was in a coma you know?" He said while the edge of his lips twitched upwards.

The sisters finished giggling. "Anyways, they would be here soon..." Said, Celestia.

"What do you mean soon?" He asked while tilting his head.

"I've sent the scroll via magic right after I have arrived at your room this morning." She said.

Luna then rubbed her chins with her fingers. "Then that would mean they would be here right about no-"

She was cut off by the sound of a door opening, courtesy of Twilight.

"Princess Celestia! Princess Luna! We came as soon as we can-!?" She froze at the end of the sentence, eyes glued on Magnus.

The rest of the Mane 6 followed suit.

"Darling why did you suddenly sto-!" Rarity stopped mid-sentence and put her hands over her mouth.

"R-Rarity? Are you oka-...?" Fluttershy's eyes widened with tears.

"My Party senses are tingling?" Pinkamena stopped with wide eyes while her mane started to puff back up

"Now why'd ya all stopping for?!" Applejack froze in place with wide eyes and hands-on her waists.

"Okay not funny! What's happening? What are you-........." Rainbow stopped, her eyes started to tear up as she gazed at the figure, her HERO.

Magnus looked at all of them with a wide smile. "Hey, Twilly, Rares, Flutters, Pinks, AJ, and Dash......" He paused a bit and continued.


"I'M BACK..."

(Previously on the last chapter)

Magnus looked at all of them with a wide smile. "Hey, Twilly, Rares, Flutters, Pinks, AJ, and Dash......" He paused a bit and continued.


"I'M BACK..."


(Present)

SILENCE

Nothing could be heard from them, not a sound, everypony seemed to be holding their breaths in the surprising encounter.

Until...


MAGNUS!!!!!!


And with that, a plethora of colors tackled our protagonist, who was lucky enough to brace himself to lessen the pain of colliding to the floor considerably under the weight of 6 emotional mares.

THUMP!

'Truly, I am very thankful for accelerated thinking and parallel mind...' Magnus thought. He then looked at the pile of mares hugging him with tears and affection. "Hey, guys... Missed me?" He said in a warm voice.

They all got up and pulled him up with them.

"I thought we'd never take care of animals together again..." Fluttershy

"I thought we'd never have a nice tea at the boutique!" Rarity

"I thought we would never party anymore!" Pinkie Pie

"I thought we'd never get to do cool tricks!" Rainbow Dash

"Ah thought me and ma family would never eat together!" Applejack

"I thought we'd never talk with each other again!" Twilight

"So ofcourse we missed you!"

They all but yelled as if they were saying facts... And they were right.

For a month he stayed in Equestria, the denizens of Ponyville really helped him adjust. They showed plenty of KINDNESS to his often made blunders because of his lack of knowledge in Equestria's culture. Generousity, in providing him a roof to sleep under, clothes to wear, food to eat, and so much more. LAUGHTER, in inviting him often in fun activities such as games and parties as if I'm one of their besties. LOYALTY, in when they try to make me comfortable, even when if it gets inconvenient for them. HONESTY, in when they make mistakes, they admit it, which I'm glad to always forgive. And then lastly FRIENDSHIP, in when every time they welcome me like one of their's, even with the blatant racial differences...

He had to admit... They treated him with there Harmony and through it, became his Family.....

"Yeah, it was a dumb question wasn't it?" He smiled brightly, "I'm so sorry I had you guys worried..." He continued with a solemn tone, he then promptly hugged them all.

Yes... Family... Truly... That's what helped him face odds against him and gave him the COURAGE...

Then suddenly, as if the word triggered something, magic started swirling around the mares, which made Magnus and the mares let go of each other. One by one colors of all kinds started to emerge from the magic and swirl in front of each mare. Magnus was further surprised as the mares started to float one by one as the magic swirling around started to form and shape in front of each mares.

Gasp!

Celestia gasped as she watched the forming objects. "But that's impossible... They lost their powers and were with the tree..." She whispered with wide eyes.

The rest snapped their head towards the princess with equally wide eyes. "But that is impossible! We confirmed the tree and the gems no longer contained magic!?" Luna exclaimed.

"Wait, wait..." Magnus said. "You mean those are..." He said as if he was in a trance watching the now brightening and frightening amount of magic and-

"The Elements of Harmony... And yes Luna, they lost their magic when the gates emerged..." Celestia told Luna.

"Then HOW?!!!" Luna shouted.

".......Psi........" They heard a whisper.

All of the mares snapped their heads at the source of the sound and found Magnus with eyes wide as dinner plates.

"It's Psi..." Magnus repeated, greatly surprising them. "An absurd amount at that along with magic..." He said with disbelief.

Both of the princess' mouths were wide open as they now turned towards the impossible mass of both energies finished forming the elements as they rested on each mares.



"Woah..." Magnus whispered in awe.

Luna and Celestia were also in awe, but with a different reason.

Luna then snapped out of it turned towards her sister. "Sister, could this be?" She said with a hopeful look.

"No..." Celestia said. "We can't be too sure-"

A loud voice cuts her off before she could finish.

"Woah!!!"

They snapped their heads towards Magnus again, only to see the energies started to swirl around and started forming on his upper chest area, the energy then turned GREEN and formed a necklace.





After it finished forming, they all descended back to the ground as they gaped along with the princesses.

"So it was true..." Celestia spoke, with tears starting to come out of her eyes. "The prophecy of a being that brings change and end to the greatest suffering this land has ever faced..." 

"The prophecy of a being creating the 7th element to fight against the great calamity..." Luna continued while she started to tear up along with her sister.

"The prophecy of the Element of Courage......" They both said together.

The human and the mares were amazed at the tale that the princesses had spun and were awed to silence.

Only for Magnus to snap out of his awe. "Wait! So I'm the being?" He asked with incredulity.

The mares snapped out of their awes at that and turned their gazes towards the princesses.

"Yes..." Celestia said with a smile while wiped away her tears and continued, "It was a prophecy that foretold of a being who would come from a faraway land with powers unheard of and ending the worst calamity that plagued Equestria with the change that the being would bring..."

"It was told by Foretold the Prophet right after Mother disappeared..." Luna finished as she also finished wiping her tears away. "And you, Magnus Might, have come from a faraway land with Psi energy and became the Element of Courage. So yes, you are the prophesied one." Luna said with a smile.

Hearing this, Magnus couldn't help but admit that he was the prophesied one, but there was still one question he had. "Then if I'm the Element of Courage... What is the change that I brought?" He asked.

They all pondered about it.

"Guys!"

"Maybe it's the time when you grew the forest?" Applejack suggested with creased eyebrows.

"No, he grew it back instead of creating it..." Twilight said with a hand on her chin and the other under her breast.

"Guuuys~~!"

"How about the sports he had brought?" Rainbow Dash spoke with unsureness.

"Or how about the new fashions from his home?" Rarity added with a smile.

"Uh... A-and about medicines?" Fluttershy chided in.

"Guys?"

"No, those would be too small of a change..." Luna said while tapping her chins.

"Then the reclamation of Cloudsdale is also out if we follow that logic..." Celestia said with both hands on her hips.

Magnus then snapped his fingers and was about to share his idea, "Guys I think I know what-" But alas, he was cut off by a loud sound.


HOOOOOOOOONK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Everybody was damn well surprised as they blocked their ears and looked towards where the loud sound originated from.

There she was, Pinkie Pie in all her glory with a horn twice as big as her aimed at the group with a toothy grin. When she noticed that she finally had their attention, she then proceeded to give reality a middle finger as she stuffed the large horn back into her mane. "Guys! I think I found what you guys were talking about!" She said while hopping up and down excitedly as her cupcakes bounced up and down. 

Magnus then proceeded to rub his ears and asked, "Really? What is it?"

Pinkie stopped bouncing and grinned even wider than possible. "Why... this!" Right after she said that she started juggling her cupcakes (the actual cupcakes, mind you) without... her...... hands..........?






"HUH?"

> I bring news
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pardon my language.



FUCK!!!!!!!



My chapters..... All of my pre-written chapters gone because of My shitty-bratty-bitchy-little-shit of a cousin's juice spilling all over my computer.....
And because of that, I didn't upload anything for almost 2 weeks. I was seriously depressed... All my hard hard work, all gone because of a shitty brat having a bad grip.......

I just wanna tell y'all that I will upload chapter 20 next week, which coincidentally is the last chapter of the first volume for "Great Power". So after that, I will be on Hiatus for a while till I can at least get my pre-written chapters back.

I am deeply sorry for the inconvenience, and I'll try not to let this happen again.

Thank you.
> Chapter 20: Change

(Previously on the last chapter)

Pinkie stopped bouncing and grinned even wider than possible. "Why this!" Right after she said that she started juggling her cupcakes (the actual cupcakes, mind you) without... her...... hands..........?






"HUH?"


(Present)

Silence

8 jaws dropped, as 8 sets widened to the sizes of a dinner plate at the site of Ponyville's best party planner kept up on her juggling with no hands with a smile so wide that it might split her face.

All the others' minds were in great confusion until our human decided to snap out of it first with a look of disbelief.

"No fucking way......" Magnus muttered with wide eyes.

"I guess that's the big change but... How?..." Rainbow Dash said in disbelief as she turned towards twilight.

"Twilight, you said ponies can't control Psy, then how is this possible?"  She half yelled while pointing the no-hands-juggling Pinkie.

Twilight raised both of her hands in defense. "I have no idea!" She yelled back defensively.

She then pointed at Pinkie. "I and Magnus thoroughly checked everything and confirmed that this was impossible! Are you sure that this isn't just Pinky being Pinky?" She said with exasperation.

"No..." All of the mares heard the voice of their resident human and looked at him in a "what do you mean?" kinda way.

"That is definitely Psy..." He clarified as the mares' eyes widened. "As much as I want to say this is impossible, that is definitely Psy Manipulation... How she can do it so well is a mystery... but I'm gonna ignore that part for my mental health." He said massaging his temples.

"Then-" Luna was about to ask another question but was cut off by Magnus.

"And that's not all..." Magnus spoke, once again gaining the attention of the mares. "I can also sense Psy reacting to all of  you guys..." That took the MUFFIN. "And some other ponies in the castle..." And that took the CAKE. "And if my guess is right, there are others spread throughout Equus...." And that took the largest, SUPER-DUPER-DELUX-PARTY SIZED-CA-!!!

PINKAMENA DIANE PIE!!!

Aww... Your no fun...

PINKIE.......

Ok, ok bye!

Sigh..... Anyways...

(Back to the story)

Magnus was now supporting an amused smile on his face as he watches the looks of the flabbergasted mares.

But enough was enough.

Magnus clapped both of his hands, snapping the mares back to reality.

"Now that we got that across..." He said becoming serious.

"We now know what happened, and now we have to know how. Because it is absolutely impossible to create another Psi users." He said remembering some... unpleasant... things...

[FLASHBACK]

Booom!!!

The metal doors for the lab were blasted off as Magnus barreled through.

"Anthony! Where......!" He was about to continue shouting until he was stopped as his face morphed into horror, then unbridled RAGE...

In the lab, where many scientists with panic-stricken faces on numerous machines hooked up to his friend's butchered-


RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!!


Accompanied by the roar, bright blue flames erupted everywhere as they melted and burned everything in its path.

[END OF FLASHBACK]

Magnus creased his brows. "Yeah... It's impossible..." Magnus spoke in a low tone.

He then brightened up. "Which means there's one thing!" he said as lifted one finger up.

"Magic...?" Twilight said tilting her head. "But Magnus, you said it would be impossible, even with magic?" Twilight asked.

Magnus chuckled. "Yes, that's what I said, but we are talking about different magic here Twily." He said with a grin.

Celestia then clapped her hands together. "The elements of Harmony!" She said in realization.

"Bingo!" Magnus said with a smile as he continued, "The elements of Harmony are the most ancient and powerful source of magic ever since magic ever existed in Equus, capable of many miracles that couldn't be explained in any logical, and even most magical ways."

The other mares' eyes widened in the realization of the most possible reason.

"Then..." Luna whispered, gaining the attention of everyone else in the room.

"We have a fighting chance," Luna said in a voice full of hope. "We can all become stronger to fend off the gates ourselves..." She said with a voice full of relief.

"Yeah!" A voice shouted out loud.

The others looked at where it came from and found Rainbow Dash with a look full of determination. "We can become stronger and help you, Magnus! We can-!"

"No." Magnus's voice full of seriousness cut off Dash's excitement.

The mares now looked at him with confused looks.

"No... Not all of them..." Magnus said solemnly. "Some fights, you have to let me fight them alone." He said.

"Magnus, what do you mean?" Dash said in confusion, while the royal sisters seemed to realize the reason.

"Magnus, you are not thinking of fighting him alone? Without any help?" Celestia questioned him with a voice full of worry.

"Whose 'him'?" Twilight asked.

"Karthenon..." Luna answered. "The one who is behind all the gates, behind all the monsters that were sent here....." She said frowning.

"Then we have more reason to fight with Magnus, Ah got a few bones ta pick with that bastard." Applejack snarled as the mares agreed.

"No, you don't get it!" Magnus shouted. "This is a god we're talking about! A god! One that is so powerful that killed the rest of the other gods in his world and then conquered it!" He said as the Mane 6 was now surprised by that information. "And he's tamed other powerful monsters and beings to conquer yours! Even with all the upgrades, you guys are out of your league! I can keep on becoming stronger, you have to let me go alo-"

SLAP!!!!!

A sound of a hand meeting face was heard throughout the room.

A cyan fur-covered hand was seemed to be stretched out.

A wide-eyed individual was looking to the side of the room holding his reddening cheeks.

7 faces were looking directly at the scene in surprise.

"No..." Dash said in a shaky yet determined voice.

"I won't let you fight alone..." She continued. "I won't let you carry the burdens by yourself..." She said while grabbing on Magnus's collars. "Not again, I won't let you." She said, her shaky voice disappearing and leaving only the determined one. "We're gonna go through this together! Do you hear me? Together!" She said shouting angrily whilst crying.

Magnus, just dumbly looked at Rainbow Dash, unable to answer.

"And thou can't stop us," Luna said at the side.

Magnus quickly looked to the side, only to find determined faces of his friends...no...Family...

"Yah ain't leaving us out of this sugarcube." Said Applejack

"Yes, you would be foolish to think so, darling." Added Rarity.

"That's what friends are for," Twilight added.

"We'll be together through it all!" Pinkie said excitedly.

"Y-yeah!" Fluttershy said in the loudest volume he ever heard.

"My little ponies are involved in this, don't you dare to leave me out of this Magnus," Celestia said menacingly

"You wouldn't like what would happen after that..." Luna added

Magnus was dumbfounded, wide eyes and gaping mouth until he was shaken out of it literally via Dash.

"You see that!?" Rainbow half questioned, half yelled while pointing at the others. "We aren't gonna let you do this and save everyone by yourself!" She said pulling him down to her level and glared at him eye to eye. " Because if we let you do that..." Dash's eyes softened a little. "Then who's gonna save you?" She finished softly.

Hearing the last part, Magnus's eyes widened.

[FLASHBACK]

"You idiot!" Voices of young teens echoed throughout on top of a cliff.

BAM!!!

A psi-enhanced fist fell on top of younger Magnus's head, making him clutch the spot he got hit.

"Ow! What the fuck is wrong with you guys?!" He said turning around to look at his friends.

"What's wrong with us? What's wrong with you! You dunderhead!" A young woman yelled while lifting up Magnus by his collar.

"You're saying that your going alone and do everything by yourself," Noah said while the young woman brought him closer to her face to glare at him intensely.

"Yeah! Isn't that what I should do? With all this power, I can become a hero and save everyone!" Magnus replied.

"Idiot! You can't save everyone by yourself!" Jake and Claire, the twins shouted out loud together.

"But she said-" Magnus was about to retort while pointing to the woman, but was cut off.

"Nicole said, "be a hero"! Not save everyone!" Anthony said while Nicole let him go, making him fall on his butt.

"Besides..." She said making him look up at Nicole's face. "If your gonna save everyone..." She said whilst smiling brighter than the sun.


"Then who's gonna save you?


Magnus looked dumbly at her before shaking his head and smiling as bright as her and replied...

[END OF FLASHBACK]


"ALL OF YOU GUYS......"


Magnus said with a gentle smile, tears streaming down his face.

"Damn right!" Said Rainbow Dash while hugging him, which was joined by the rest of the mares with Magnus in the middle.

After a few moments, they all separated, albeit reluctantly to Magnus's request.

He then wiped his tears away and then looked at the mares with a refreshed face. "Ok, since we're gonna be in this together, you guys will have my back, as in helping me understand magic and gates, while I will have your backs by teaching you guys about how to be a Psi user." He said, which made the mares brighten up.

"W-we'll also have to do something about other ponies that have Psi..." Fluttershy said shyly.

"Of course we can't forget about the others, like Gryphons, Minotaurs, Changelings, Dragons, Diamond dogs, Hippogriffs, Yaks-" Twilight said going on and on before being cut off.

"Then we'll reach out to them..." He said gaining their attention. "We'll send messages to every one of the kingdoms, cities, villages, towns, and every other corner in Equus and them that they can fight back, that all of them can protect what is precious to them!" he said with eyes burning with inspiration, which also lit the fires within the mares too, Along with blushes...

"I'll immediately plan the meeting between all the kingdoms," Celestia said

"I'll prepare the messages!" Luna said

"We'll help with the feast!" Twilight said with the nods of the rest of the Mane 6.

"Yeah! This is it, the great change, the tables have turned, and it's Equus' turn to strike back!" Magnus spoke excitedly. 'Are you seeing this Nicole? I'm doing it right, I finally got what your ideal of being a hero is!' He thought while looking outside at the sky, remembering her face.


'A hero can't be a hero without a great power...'



'A great power called...'
