Author's Note

Happy fathers day. And also man I need to get more on this story.

Make your move

*Yūkan*

Yūkan stares at the boy he hasn't seen in forever. Eye to eye finally once again. Except now is different. His fist lays to the right side of his skull and the other punches against an invisible wall as well. He gets pushed back and lands squarely on his feet. He raises his fist to the air ready to fight.

"Now come on boy! You may look special but you sure aren't acting like it!" Orphean says laughing, "Come on surprise me!"

Yūkan grunts and punches his fist together before hitting the red gem, "Wish granted."

He runs forward as rocks shoot up to impale him as he runs. He turns just in time to get grazes and scrapes. He throws out his fist and a burst of flame shaped as a fist fires out.

Orphean smiles and wipes the flams apart to find in the midst of it Yūkan about to punch him. Orphean moves out of the way and tries to slam the orb into the back of his head. Yūkan drops down and moves away from Orphean. He chuckles before the orb glows and a small dragon made of ice starts forming out of it.

"How about we cool you off hot head."

The dragon launches forward growing in size and form. Yūkan's eyes go big at this and he brings up his arms to try his best to block it. Even if it is a stupid way to block something like that. Just pure human instincts at its best. As the dragon is about to engult him it suddenly stops in its place and starts shaking.

Yūkan slowly lowers his arms and looks at Orphean who is glaring towards Sweet Bell. Her horn is lit up with a purple aura around it. She breathing heavily. Yūkan couldn't believe it. And Sweetie Belle couldn't believe it either. The dragon was held back by magic. Her magic.

"You damned brat!" He yells reading a spell to blast at her.

"No you don't!" Yūkan yells pressing the green gem and flying forward past the dragon.

Orphean turns and swings the orb to have in contact against his fist. Yūkan brings his other fist around connecting with Orphean's stomach sending him up into the air a bit and cause the dragon to shatter. With the orb out of the way Yūkan brings his right fist back and brings it forward against Orphean's face sending him flying backwards. He skits across the ground and slams into the wall.

Using the wall as support Orphean rises laughing while holding his throbbing face with his good hand.

"That's a nice right hook you go there... Of course I already knew that. Tsumetai's memory comes in handy you know?"

"Shut the fuck up!" Yūkan yells running forward pressing the red gem on his approach.

"So much high feeling..." The orb glows white and ice comes shooting out the wall.

"Gah!" Yūkan jumps back and swats at some of the spikes that come too close hoping to melt them.

A few get past and slice through parts of him. The spikes stop and come back to wall still present.

"I can't wait to rip you to pieces." Orphean says moving forward letting go of his face, "While you look into the face of your old friend."

Hitting the white crystal and slams his fist into the ground making spikes appear in session towards him. Orphean chuckles and makes the pillars of ice break apart. Yūkan smiles and hits the black crystal making the world go back around them. The orb glows brightly trying to penetrate the darkness to no success.

"This one is new." Orphean says smiling.

He waits and listens. He brings up his magical force to black any attack and lays across a magic field to sense Yūkan's presence. Meanwhile Yūkan falls on one knee feeling ore drained than usual. He sees Tsumetai just fine, but he isn't going to take his chance in fighting him like this. He looks over at Sweetie who is lying unconscious on the ground. He can already tell he's not going to win this fight.

He gets up and limps towards Sweetie.

"Don't worry," He whispers to her, "We'll leave for now..."

He casts one look back and continues to limp away.

*Rainbowdash*

Rainbowdash keeps her body pressed against Fluttershy's. Even with Fluttershy's soothing words she still can't let go of the feeling of danger around her. All Rainbowdash wants to do is get out of here with Fluttershy. Just to a better place for this is too much for her. She just can't wrap her head around how someone can be so confident like this. She keeps saying how she's afraid of this place too, but.

"Fluttershy?"

"Yes Rainbowdash?"

"Where are we going to go when we leave here?"

"We're going home. Together. I'll keep you safe like you used to when we were younger." Fluttershy says throwing a hoof around Rainbowdash, "We'll be together cause we're friends forever right?"

Rainbowdash nods her head confirming what she said. She snuggles her head into Fluttershy's side enjoying the warmth she gives off.

"Get a room you two!" The young pony says shaking her head further up ahead, "Or at least save the lovey dovey stuff for when we get out of here!"

Rainbowdash blushes and the two keep moving on. Rainbowdash lowers her head as if scolded like a child.

"It's okay Rainbowdash. We can continue you when we get home."

That just makes Rainbowdash blush even more. She didn't even realize nor have she ever realized what their actions have looked like as well as their past.

*Twilight*

Nothing. Is all that goes through Twilight's head as she walks forward her army of ungodly creatures behind her. She's even questioned the possibility that she might not actually get out of here let alone find her "friends" again. Friends. How she detests that word now. To think it actually meant the whole world to her.

Now its merely a scar. A scar that can be healed. An easy fix really. Find them, enslave and/or kill them. Simple as that. Nothing to complex. Not like they'll really care. If they are her "friends" they'll let her do it. Cause that's what friends are for.

She never lingered on such thoughts for she felt something. Something that made her burn in her core. Something that she hated and never wants to feel. But as long as she doesn't dwell on it

Twilight stops feeling the presence of magic. Strong magic.

"Oh ho ho maybe an actual challenge?" She says smiling her horn glowing black.

*Orphean*

Orphean sighs at realizing his target just left. He's sure he can just find him again just by following real quick, but with how unpredictable these tunnels are. He shakes his head.

He turns and decides to go back the way he came to only be stopped when an armada of creatures stand before him all being led by a black coated unicorn.

"Well hello there~" She says giggling looking him up and down.

Orphean stands his place dull eyed. His muscles tensing a bit as he watches the shadow on the walls move and change shapes. He thinks to himself how unfortunate that this is where he had to be led to.

"What's your name?~" She asks walking closer to Orphean.

The orb glows and a whip of energy comes out and slashes the ground where the unicorn stands making her stop her advance, "How about you stand still and talk."

She giggles manically.

She's lost it. To who I wonder.

"Oh you look soooo cool! You know~ I have another human with me too~ Perhaps you know her?" Twilight says as a deformed bipedal creature with spikes ejecting from its back, hands turned into paws with long claws coming out of them, and pure black all the way down, "Well maybe not. I gave her a make over~"

She squees and laughs like a maniac looking her creature up and down, "Oh I'm so proud of her!~"

"Not really sure I recall a monster. Plus this body isn't even mine. My body has been lost for ages. So I'm making due with what I can get. Now Miss Unicorn how about we make our separate ways and."

He barely had time to react. The magic came at him faster than he thought. The arrow of purple stays pressing against his forehead. A trickle of blood runs down from the wound as the arrow disappears. He backs away raising his orb.

"Oh sorry!~ I don't like it when prey drags on.~" She says with a hint of something in her voice. It almost seems to be taking on a sultry tone?

"Who are you." Orphean asks making sure to double his magic shield this time.

The magic broke through the first one with ease. He only managed to coat his body just in time for his head to stop it from killing him.

"Well~ If you entertain me I might tell you.~" She says in a playfull tone walking forward towards him, "Plus, if you don't die. You might see how a unicorn gets off.~"

Orphean gulps and considers his possibilities. Either way, all of them seem bad.
