It was a few weeks of regularity of me training all of my students in the arts of bending. I could only teach Apple Bloom the history of earth bending. Sweetie took her training with a seriousness I’ve only seen in females. She took every word to heart, and quickly surpassed Rainbow, and Feather. She had immense control over her fire bending, and I was surprised. She quickly learned all I could teach to her, and then she took her training into her own hooves.

It was three days after Dash’s release that something happened that I knew was going to happen from the start. Dash and Feather decided to spar.
Right as soon as fire started flying I washed them both in hundreds of gallons in sea water.

“Are you two insane? Engaging in an Agni kai on a WOODEN SHIP?!” I half asked, half shouted. It was then that the Captain came to my side.

“The Prince is right you two. What in Celestia’s mane were you two thinking?” Graceful asks.

“We wanted to see who is better at bending.” Dash says with a competitive look at Feather, who returns it with just as much vigor. I sigh, and face palm.

“You could have waited till we were at the empire you know.” I say as I drag my hand down my face.

“We wanted to see who’s better now.” Dash countered.

“Not while yer on my ship you won’t. Just because the ship is fire retardant, doesn’t mean you go and start throwing fire at each other.” Graceful tells them with a glare.

“Besides, if you’re bored, I was going to try something today anyways.” I tell them as I push more wind into the sails.

“What are you going to do?” Cadence asks as she walks up from behind. I smirk as I start to shift, and then stop shifting when I was a stallion Cadence.

“Well, I was going to see how all my friends look like as stallions, so tell me, how did I do?” I ask in a masculine voice that resembled Cadence’s. Cadence got a slight blush to her as she looked her male self over.

“You did great, but what would I look like?” Dash asks. I smirk again as I shift into a male version of her. I made the rainbow main a bit shorter, and the tail a little manlier with more jagged edges, and made my eyebrows into lightning bolt shapes.

“You ask yourself.” I tell her in a punk tone. Dash circles me a couple times as she looks me over.

“Alright, you look good, but what would my name be?” She asks as she stops in front of me. I bring a cyan hoof to my chin.

“Rainbow Blitz.” I tell her. She smirks with a sultry look in her eyes.

“Oh, can you do me?” Feather asks. I look to her, and take in her appearance. She had a grayish yellow coat, and slightly silver tip on her horn. Her eyes were a bright blue. I close my eyes, and start to shift into my vision of a male Feather Touch. I open my eyes to see Feather looking me over.

“Touch of Silver.” I say with a bow. She tilts her head.

“What happened to my name?” She asks. I blink a few times.

“It is because your horn has a silver tip.” I tell her. She looks up to her horn, and smiles softly.

“Oh, do Princess Celestia.” Graceful says. I raise an eyebrow as I start to shift again. I grew larger, and gave myself a pure white coat. I then shift my cutie mark into that of Celestia’s before I give myself a multihued mane of reds.

“So, what do you think of Solaris?” I ask in my new deep voice. It was then that the CMC came on deck to see me.

“Hey, where is Dad?” Scootaloo asks.

“I’m right here girls.” I say as I shift down into a male Scootaloo. This causes them to gasp and then glomp me with a tackle hug. I then start to shift again, but turn into Nightmare moon.

“Get off me you FOALS!” I shout before I shift into a male Fluttershy and say, “If you want to.” This got Rainbow to laugh, and got the nearby crew to jump. My voice changes back to normal as I laugh before I lose concentration and return to my alicorn form. This just got Dash to laugh harder. I then calm down as an evil, but hilarious, idea comes to mind. I focus really hard to make my coat shift colors so that it looked like I disappeared on all sides. I then focus even harder to make my coat refract the sunlight so I could move.

I move up to behind Dash before I caress her flight muscles, making her wings extend with a pomf. I couldn’t keep myself from laughing as Dash jumps ten feet into the air.

My laughter shattered my concentration so I reappeared rolling on my back laughing my tail off.

“That wasn’t funny Artermis.” Dash tells me as she lands from her sudden take off. I stop laughing after a few more moments.

“You’re right, it wasn’t funny for you, but to me, it was hilarious.” I tell her. She just groans at my pun. I sigh as I shift into a male Pinkie Pie.

“What’s wrong Dashy? Is Artermis being mean again?” I ask her, and she groans even more. I then shift into Apple Jack’s male counterpart.

“What’s wrong partner? You gonna give up that easily?” I ask her. This got her attention.

“No way!” She says as she stands up straight. I chuckle before I shift back into myself.

“Good, cause it looks like we’re almost there.” I tell her as I see a land mass ahead of the ship. I also see other ships nearby.

“Captain, I suggest getting back to the helm.” I say as I shift back into my alicorn self.

“Captain!” A pegasus stallion says as he lands next to Graceful.

“What is it?” Graceful asks.

“None of those ships are flying colors that are legal.” He tells her.

“Great, just what we need.” Graceful says with a groan.

“Let me guess. Those are all Pirates.” I say as I shift into my human body.

“Aye and that is the only port that we can dock at.” Graceful tells me.

“So we fight.” I tell her.

“You want us to go into that port, and start shooting at them, are you insane?” The Pegasus stallion asks. I shake my head.

“No, I want to be taken in there on a dingy, and I’ll take care of them.” I reply as I head for one of the row boats.

“Artermis, are you crazy? They have cannons, and you’re going in there?” Dash asks me.

“Have you forgotten what I am?” I ask her as I start to ready the rowboat.

“No, but that is at least twenty ships.” She tries to counter. I sigh as I look up to the sails, and stop all wind.

“Captain, drop the anchor. I don’t want this ship getting caught in the cross fire.” I say as the ship slowly sails to a stop. As soon as I said that her horn lights, and I hear the anchor drop into the water. I give her a small smile as thanks, before I start to lower the rowboat into down to the water.

“I can’t let you go alone.” Dash tells me.

“And I can’t risk any of you getting hurt. I will take care of these pirates, and no one will follow me. I’m the Avatar, and it is my duty to keep the balance of this world in check. That port town is in chaos at the moment, and I need to fix that. This is the end of this argument.” I tell her. She growls in anger before she storms off towards a stairwell.

“Prince, are you sure you can handle that many?” Graceful asks me.

“Yes, just keep everypony and zebra here.” I tell her. She nods before I jump over the side of the ship, and land in the boat.

“If I get killed return to Equestria, don’t even try to look for me.” I yell to the captain before I use my water bending, and my boat launches towards the pirates. I was now preparing myself to destroy all of the ships, but leave as many alive as possible.

I make my boat stop at the center of the harbor before I put magic into my vocal cords.

“PIRATES, AND PRIVATEERS IN THIS HARBOR. YOU WILL SURRENDER YOUR SHIPS, DOCK, AND RETURN TO LAND TO BE DETAINED BY THE ARMED FORCES OF THE ZEBRA EMPIRE OR FACE MY WRAITH!!” I shout out with my royal Canterlot voice. I hear laughter from a few of the closer ships, so I shake my head.

“YOU WERE WARNED!!” I tell them all as I summon my chi again. I move my arms, and put a giant protective wall around the docks, and the surrounding land. This got the attention of the ships as a cannon ball was fired at me. It missed by yards, and I turn to the ship that fired at me. I narrow my eyes.

I throw punches at the ship, and in turn the ocean moves waves up and over it, washing the crew into the ocean. Once everyone was off of that ship I switched to fire bending, and burned the ship to ashes. It was then that all the other ships start to fire at me. Most of them missed, but I had to duck for a few of the shots they fired.

I was then blown to my back as a cannon ball flies right by my head. This shocks me a bit, and I turn to my ki for retaliation. I lift one of my hands up above me with my palm facing up. I make a disk that spun quickly above my hand before I threw it at one of the ships, and cut it in half. I then start to use ki balls, and blow three ships up. I then stop, and sit down in the boat.

“We surrender!” I hear one of the ships say. I then mark that one out of my targets. I wait for more of the pirates to surrender, and three more ships do so. It was then that I looked at the last four ships which were too far away for me to hear them.

I move my boat with my water bending so that I could hear the last four ships, but before I could get any closer one of them fires at me, and destroys my boat. I was now underwater, and dazed.

I was sinking, and my head was spinning faster than a windmill next to a tornado. It took a few moments for my head to clear, but when it did I noticed that I was too far under to swim up, and survive. I started to panic, but my tattoos started to glow, and my eyes started glowing along with them.

I was ejected out of my body, and I watch as my body surges out of the water, and lays waste to the last four ships with four continuous streams of fire. I then fell back to the water, but I was in control, and made the water keep my head above water. It took a ship a while to come in, and pick me up, but I managed to survive.

I stood up once I was on board to see that one of the pirate ships came and got me. I notice that it was the first ship to surrender.

“Where is the captain of this ship?” I ask one of the crew that was near me.

“I am the captain.” The zebra that I asked tells me.

“Okay, can I ask something of you before you head to the docks?” I ask him as I watch my barrier fall back into the ocean.

“I will allow one favor yes.” He tells me.

“Could you take me to the royal ship that I came from?” I ask him as I point to the royal flagship. He looks at the flagship for a few moments before nodding.

“Yes, I can do that for you.” He tells me. I nod, and sit down on one of the side railing of the ship as the captain gets his crew to start moving. As we were sailing out to my temporary home as a zebra mare comes up to me with a curious look in her eyes.

“Yes?” I ask her.

“Do you mind if I ask what you are?” She asks me in her deep African-like voice. I shake my head.

“No I don’t mind, and I am a human that has many abilities, but I am also a Prince.” I tell her. Her eyes widen at this.

“Of what kingdom?” She asks me. I smile at this.

“Equestria, and if you think you can keep me in this ship as a hostage you are wrong. I control the elements, an internal energy, and magic. I can also shift my shape into that of my alicorn body, so don’t get any ideas.” I tell her. She nods to me before she bows. I ruffle my feathers, and sigh.

“Don’t bow to me as I still think you all will be going to jail for at least three years depending on the crimes or violations of the laws that you, and your fellow crewmates have done.” I tell her. She nods, and then walks away returning to where ever she came from.

I waited patiently as the pirate ship slowly came up to the side of the royal flagship. Once at a full stop I waited for a gangway to be put over the gap of the ships, and crossed over to the flagship. Graceful Current was standing at the other side of the gangway, looking at me with a smirk.

“Well, I’ll be damned if the Prince of Equestria could be killed by anything.” She says as I come aboard. It was then that I was tackled by five female ponies. Three of which were my adopted children, and the other two my marefriends.

“Don’t you ever do that again!” Cadence shouts at me. I just sigh, and return the tackled embrace.

“Captain, if there is one thing that can kill me; it is the wraith of a heartbroken mare.” I tell her. This got her to laugh and most of the crew around her to laugh. However, it just proved my point as Cadence crushes me in her hug. I am squirming to get loose, but this only causes her to hug me even tighter. I was now unable to breathe, and the crew of the flagship, and, much to my irritation, the pirate ship were laughing their flanks off as I slowly suffocated to death in the hooves of my marefriends, and my fillies.

After about a minute of this, and no oxygen, I go limp in Cadence’s arms, faking that I lost consciousness. This got her to let me go, and I jump up, and take a much needed gasp of air before I started to run from my dearest mares. Rainbow stopped chasing me seeing that I was actually out of breathe right as I started running, but Cadence had her mind hell bent on crushing the life out of me with her hugs.

With my current luck I ended up tripping on a coiled rope, and Cadence had me in her death grip once again. This time she didn’t let me go no matter what I did, and I lost consciousness for real this time.

I woke this time in a room I am unfamiliar with. There were tribal masks on the walls, and glass bottles filled with different colored liquids or powders. I look down at myself to see that I was still in my human body, so I concentrated, and shifted into my alicorn form.

When I was finished a Zebra came into the room with a strange fruit in its mouth. I wait for it to set the fruits down.

“Excuse me, but where am I?” I ask. The Zebra turns to me.

“Good you’re awake. You are in the medical hut of the harbor village that you saved recently.” He tells me with his African like accent. I nod a few times slowly.

“Okay, and why am I here, and not on the flagship?” I ask him.

“The shaman you had on your ship brought you to me as she is an old good friend of mine.” He tells me. I pull myself into a more comfortable position before I groan in pain.

“So, what is the damage this time?” I ask him.

“You have four broken ribs, and several more that are bruised. You have suffocation trauma from something that the pink alicorn wouldn’t tell me about. Other than those two things you are fine.” He tells me. I nod before I summon my ki, and start to heal myself. I groan in pain as bone regrows, and repairs itself.

“What have you done to yourself?” The zebra asks me with slight worry in his voice.

“I healed myself.” I reply as I stand up easily, and hop off of the bed. The zebra just stares at me in awe.

“No magic or potion can heal what you did.” He tells me. I chuckle at this.

“I have more than magic in me. I have chi to animate the elements. I have ki to heal myself, and cause destruction to my enemy. I have regular magic, and then I have paladin magic from my family bloodline.” I tell him. He blinks a few times before he bows to me.

“Forgive me chosen one for I did not know it was you.” He says before I can tell him to stop.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I tell him. He rises from his bow with a confused look on his face. I was just as confused as he was, but I was confused for a different reason.

“Ah good Shimbu he has awoken, I trust he has been friendly unless I am mistaken.” I hear Zecora say as she enters the room.

“Zecora, did you not tell him about the prophecy?” Shimbu asks Zecora. She shakes her head. I walk over to the door that Zecora came out of.

“I need to get back to my kids.” I say as I exit the room, and see that I am now in a central waiting room. I could see my kids in the children area playing with a few zebra fillies. I smile as I walk up behind my kids. None of the children notice that I’m there.

“Now who said you three could stop bending?” I ask in a sarcastic matter. All six children look up to me, and then I am tackled by my daughters.

“DAD!” They shout in unison. I laugh as I am glomped, and squeezed by my fillies. I squeeze back to the best of my ability, and they all end up tapping my arms for air.

I let them go before I stand back up, and shift back into my alicorn form, and lay down, letting my fillies onto my back.

“Are you okay now?” Apple Bloom asks me.

“Yes I’m right as rain.” I tell them. This got the attention of Feather whom is sitting nearby.

“Prince, are you okay?” She asks as she walks up to me. I nod as I head for the main door of the medical hut, and walk out into the port town that is ten mile away from the capital of the Zebra Empire.

“Where are my mares?” I ask here in an official voice.

“They are at a nearby tavern awaiting departure to the capital.” She tells me as she starts to lead me to the said tavern.

“How is your bending coming along?” I ask Feather.

“It seems Rainbow and I are matched at ability, but she has better technique than I, and Sweetie is still the best of the fire benders.” She starts.

“Apple Bloom feels much better now that she has the ground beneath her hooves, and Scootaloo is starting to learn how to fly for her air bending abilities are starting to manifest naturally.” She summarizes. I smile at this as I hear the three fillies chattering away on my back.

After this update for me we chatted with small talk until we got to the tavern, and we went our separate ways. The fillies and I to my mares, and Feather to the guards that came with us.

“Mist! Are you okay?” Rainbow asks as she rushes up to me, and starts looking me over. I chuckle at this as I let the CMC down off of my back.

“I’m fine Dash; however I’m wondering why you hugged me into unconsciousness Cadence.” I say as I stand back up. Dash breathes a sigh of relief as she lands, and hugs me. I return her hug before she pulls away, and flies over to the king size bed that we have in the room.

“You went and almost got killed, and I thought I would lose you if I didn’t let go.” Cadence replies with her head hung in sorrow. I roll my eyes at her sentence, and walk up to the bed.

“Hey,” I say as I put a hoof under her chin, and pull her eyes up to look into mine, “How many times have I told you that it is going to take more than an apocalypse to take me out? I will never die from my opponents, and will always return to you in one healthy piece.” I kiss her just to punctuate my words. She moans into the kiss a little, and earned a collective ‘EEWWWW!’ from my fillies. Cadence and I laugh a little as we pull away, and I turn to my kids to see them fake gagging, and pretending to through up.

I raise an eyebrow with an amused smile playing on my lips as I slowly walk to my kids. They don’t notice me getting closer before I pounce on them, and pull them all into a small group hug before I start giving their faces hundreds of kisses in rapid succession. The CMC are playfully screaming and yelling “EW!” repeatedly until I put them down, and they run away to Cadence for protection.

“Dad, that was EVIL!” Apple Bloom shouts at me with a big smile on her face.

“And I enjoyed every second of it.” I reply with a victorious grin. I then look out the window to see that nighttime was approaching, so I look back to Cadence with a tired smile.

“I think it is time for some little ponies to go get ready for bed.” I say as I walk up to my bed that now holds my two mares, and my fillies on it.

“Aw, but we want to spend some time with you Dad.” Apple Bloom pouts to me. I look to the other two with a raised eyebrow.

“I’m sorry, was that a request for me to scare you all out of my bed, and into your own room by turning into Nightmare Moon?” I ask with a playful flash of my horn.

“NOPE!” Apple Bloom shouts as she bolts out of the room and into the one next to mine. Sweetie belle follows her out, but Scootaloo sits down, and smirks at me.

“Nice try, but Nightmare Moon doesn’t scare me.” She tells me with her hooves folded in front of her

“Then how about this?” I ask as I shift into the pony of Death and reach a bone hoof out to Scootaloo. Her eyes bulge out of her head, and she runs screaming from my room. I shift back into my alicorn self, and lay down on the bed with my mares.

“I didn’t know you could turn into death pony.” Dash tells me as we get under the light covers of the bed.

“It is a little harder to do since it looks like I don’t have any flesh, but I only did the bone part to get Scoots to go to bed, if I truly wanted to be scary I could make it look like blood was dripping off of my bones to add to the effect, then to make it worse I add rotting pieces of flesh to wherever I want to complete the look.” I tell her. This gets both mares to shiver in fear next to me.

“Hay, I can also turn into an angelic pony if I wanted.” I tell them. Cadence snuggles up to me, and so does Dash and we quickly fell into our dream filled slumbers.
