Ground Rules Ch. 1

"Keith" I heard a faint whisper

"Go away i'm sleeping" I said with a drowsy tone

"Get up Keith"

"No"

"Alright you forced my hoof"

My blankets and bed were wrapped in a magenta blueish aura "Whoever you are I wouldn't do that if I were you" and if by my shitty luck couldn't get any worse, my entire bed flipped over. I landed on my stomach then the bed was dropped on me. I lost it "WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE" I exploded leaving the room on fire then frozen over, And waking up Ranger

Ranger looked at what went down the her eyes snapped open at the pony standing in the room "Captain Shining Armor, Private Precise Shot reporting for duty, Sir!" she jumped out of bed and saluted

"Hello Keith, I am Shining Armor, and your new commanding officer"

"Sorry buddy I dont do so well with orders, I came here to train, not to be your lackey"

"Sorry Private as of this point you are now the same rank as Precise Shot"

'Frost, Match I need a judgment call here should I attack him or just put up with it?'

'Well you could attack him and seeing as he is a captain you could A. have the entire royal guard on you ass or B. work with the guard' Match spoke in my head

'I agree with Match Master' Frost spoke up

"*sigh* well Shining armor you have three new recruits"

"Three where are the other two or are you just joking with me?"

"Match, Frost" blue and red mist flowed from me, thankfully not hurting his time, and right in front of me formed my Pets the badass phoenix and the amazing green windigo. "Shining Armor say hello to my pets, and friends Match the Phoenix and Frost the the Windigo"

"Where the buck did they come from!" he shouted flipping out

"I have a question for you"

"W-what is it" he asked regaining his composure

"Are you by any chance related to Twilight Sparkle?"

"Yeah I am whats it to you?" he asked getting in my face

"First off get out of my face, and secondly you freak out just like her so I was connecting the dots, so when does training begin for us, and does Ranger get to come or what?"

"Well Keith you will come with me and your pets will stay…" his sentence was cut short as he watch Frost and Match turn into smoke and absorb into my body "…… aaaaaaannnnnnd Ranger will accompany you seeing as Luna has assigned her to you. meaning that she will train, and eat with you, she'll also follow you, oh Luna also told me to tell you to make a strong team of friends that you will be able to trust with your life"

"Why would I need a team, I only need training?" I asked hearing Ranger mumble something under her breath

"He i'm on a need to know basis as of right now and so are you, just do it and lets go, and it's "Captain" to you from now on. Training starts at 5 Am and ends at 11 Pm, you must train with at least two different weapons"

"Kay Captain I already have them on me"

"May I see them?"

"Of course but no touching "FLASH-FREEZE" "IGNITE"" the floor froze over and the air became hot. In my right hand formed my sword, and in my right hand something new happened and covering my hand is a blue fingerless glove with a computer circuit design on it but no the less the needles were there "so Captain still want to train me with everyone else"

"More so than ever"

"Your determined I'll give you that"

"Thank you, now for the part that I even hate, rules. You are required to dress in armor and be ready for anything, you must dine with everyone at set hours, if you deal any fatal wounds to anypony you will do both sets of training meaning that you will do twice as much, so if I were you I'd find some training weapons that resemble yours. As for you Private Precise you will continue practicing you you mechanical bow, along with your magic"

Me and Ranger both saluted "Yes Sir"

'mmmm I never thought I'd see you take orders Sir'

'Shut up Match'

'Yes Sir'

In the back of my mind I heard a faint chuckle

"Alright Keith since I know about your fire and ice powers if thats what you wish to call it, I have something special for you concerning your armor situation seeing as you have none"

"May I ask what it is"

"It's a necklace" he said tossing me a box

I opened the box to find a crystal with two colors constantly swirling inside, and on a small chance the colors would meet creating a purple spark then untouched returning to the swirling. in the place of the string is a simple chain. I placed it around my neck, and about to let go of the clasp to lock it but Shining spoke up

"Unfortunately all other ponies who had tried to wear this exploded, so there is that chance"

"Wait wha-" the clasp slipped from my fingers, and as soon as it lock the room lit up white and Ranger, Shining, and I were flung to the far side of the room

"Ugh what was that Captain" Ranger asked

"That was Keith putting on the necklace and considering how he is not dead he is successfully wearing it" Shining said shaking his head

"I… Hate… All… Of… You" I said groaning in between each word

"Come on Keith get up, I still need to get my armor, then we need head to the training grounds" Ranger said pulling me up

"Actually Private since your part of Keith's team I have something for you to" The captain butted in

"I swear to… whatever god you have here if it explodes i'm done" I threatened

"Dont worry this is already tested, here Private try it on" He tossed her a box

"I am going to murder you" I said

She opened it up while I braced myself "It's a cloak?" she asked

"Yes it is, it also has an enchantment on it that allows you to merge with any type of terrain, it can withstand the heat of the sun, and is as tough as… well lets just say Luna and Celestia both took a shot at it and failed to destroy it, say hello to the Alpha Cloak"

Ranger was drooling over it, immediately she put it on, and the cloak turned digital urban green "Keith never take me off your team please, I'm in love with this this, almost as much as…" she cut herself off and blushed

"Okay then now that this is taken care of, Keith all you have to do is focus you powers into the necklace, it's bound to you so be careful"

'Hey frost that true?' I thought

'Yes master we can feel it's presence' Frost answered

"Alright Privates to the training room" Shining armor shouted

"Lead the way" I said picking up Ranger while she cuddled her new cloak

Training Ch. 2

-------third person POV--------

"Okay Captain were here, now what?" Keith asked

"Now I find you a partner to spar with, Lieutenant Ace, Lieutenant Time front and center" Two ponies stood in front of Shining Armor. Lieutenant Ace is Jet black stallion with a nighttime black mane with a cutie mark of five cards in a sequential order going from nine to a red ace at the end in front of the rest. Lieutenant Time is cream colored unicorn stallion with a pure white mane, her cutie mark is a grandfather clock with two evenly sized hands pointed in two opposite directions, one at the twelve mark and one at the six mark.

"Yes sir?" They saluted to Shining

"Today you will be sparing with Keith and Precise Shot using non-lethal magic only along with close quarter combat. Keith just so your aware Ace does know how to use wind based magic so do not underestimate him understood?"

"Yes Captain" Keith said

"Ready, BEGIN"

Keith and Ace shot off into the air. Ace came around to attack first by launching a huge tornado at Keith, then Keith intercepted with a equally huge blizzard, nullifying both attacks. Ace's eyes flashed blue then back to black, giving him a sinister look while a twisted smile broke out from hiding

"Arctic winds heed my call" Ace announced to Keith. The cold winds densified rushing past Keith taking his own supply of oxygen with it making him fall to the ground

------Back with Ranger and Time-------

Ace and Keith shot of into the air leaving Ranger with Time. Time cast a spell forming a dome around the two.

"Say hello to the speed dome" Time opened his mouth to speak only to be punched in the jaw making him fly backwards

"Come now Lieutenant surly your not afraid to hit a girl" Ranger watched Time ran at her. She fell into a stance that said "I'm gonna throw you now" only for Keith to fall right on top of Time, and roll to Rangers side

"Asshole got a cheep shot in" Keith said standing and regaining his breath

"Wanna help me with this guy, We got time" Ranger giggled pointing to a slow-mo Ace flying at us

"Gladly" Keith shouted enthusiastically.

Keith rushed Time giving him a one two punch in the chest, then throwing him by the hooves into the air where Ranger jumped up, and did a front flip bringing both front hooves down on his back launching Time back at Keith. Keith then came a round with a roundhouse knocking him into the just entering Ace. Ace pushed Time off of him and watched the dome shatter into a million pieces. Keith and Ranger stood ready, Ace threw a tornado at the two. Keith held out his hands and looked as though he was lifting something, Ranger placed her glowing dark green horn on the ground, then threw up her head drasticly.

The earth shook as obvious cracks formed in the ground, making a giant flaming stone wall that stood as tall as the tornado at thirty feet. The stone wall held while the tornado died. Ranger nodded at Keith, and Keith nodded back. Keith focused his flame to a chunk of the wall, and ripped it off. Ranger then killed the flame by taking it in her magic, and smashing it up to small stones and launching them at Ace.

Ace flinched thinking it was the end, but the stones locked together around him trapping him. Keith held out his glowing red hand and raised a fire ring around the newly formed stone dome trapping him

"You have both been grounded" Keith and Ranger said at the exact same time

------Keith POV-------

"Frost end mind link" I said

'done'

I felt the link between me, and Ranger end "Hey Ranger"

"Yeah?" she asked shaking off the dust from the cloak

"Three things, one good idea linking our minds, two WE KICKED THEIR FLANKS!, and three, hoof bump" I held out my fist and she tapped it with her hoof

"We total mopped the floor with them, I have never felt more alive!" Ranger shouted giving me a hug around my waist, and I returned it

"Well Keith I see you have made a new friend"

"Oh hello Celestia" I said

"Hello Keith I see that your in a good mood" Celestia said

"Well we just dominated two lieutenants so I'm pretty pumped"

"I know I saw the whole thing along with Shining armor, all the royal guard, and six Guests" Celestia spoke in a sing song tone

"Six guests, who are the guests?… your majesty" Ranger asked and bowed in shame letting her curiosity get the better of her

"Do not fret Ranger, my little pony, its Keith's five friends, and "special somepony" from Ponyville"

"You have a special somepony?" Ranger asked me sadly

"Yeah sorry I never told you about her but since your a girl and practically live with me it didn't seem right to ramble on about her" I said without thinking

"Yes he does have a special somepony and who might you be?" Rarity walked up to her with a high up tone

'Sorry to say Master but you might wanna break this up' Frost said

'I'll let it play from here and see what happeness'

"I'm Private Precise Shot, and who might you be?" Ranger asked with disgust from dislike of nobles

"I am Rarity, I am a fashionista in Ponyville, and Keith's special somepony" Rarity said in a matter of fact tone

I swear I saw a flash of hurt go through Ranger's eyes 'Is this why you want me to break it up Frost?' I asked

'Master… EEYUP"

"Well shit" I said out loud

"Oh so you make dresses for a living?" Ranger asked

"Yes but as you can tell. I have yet to get Keith to take off his clothes when they are not needed" Rarity stated

"Umm Rarity you know why I can't take off my clothes, remember?" I said walking up to the two

"I know why, it's because it's not covered and you have to wear clothes to keep warm and conceal… "It" Ranger stated

"How do you know this!?" Rarity threatened her

"Well I heard you and some friends are from Ponyville, and my cousin lives in Ponyville, Lyra Heartstrings, you know her"

"Oh you mean that wonderful musician that rants on about humaaaaannnnssss… Oh My Gosh she was right" Rarity exclaimed

"Thats her, and I do sorta live with him" Ranger Said nonchalantly

"YOU WHAT!" Rarity screamed

"Yeah you got a problem?" Ranger said cheerily

I grabbed Rarity and threw her over my shoulder and walked out of the room "Rarity calm down why are you getting mad?"

"Keith darling you should know that ladies do not get mad only aggravated but i'll make an exception here, WHY ARE YOU LIVING WITH HER!?" Rarity yelled at me

"Because she is my partner, part of my team, and a friend I can trust, just like I trust you Rarity" I said honestly

"Your to naive to realize it aren't you!" she started to tear up

"What do you mean Rarity?"

"Nothing Keith, never mind" Rarity sobbed then ran away shedding a tear

"Frost… what did I do, seriously what did I do"

'Sorry Master but you bucked up'

"I need a crash course in females" I said out loud

"You want it now or later, sugarcube"

"Hey Applejack, how much did you hear?" I asked getting depressed

"All of it, now listen hear cause i'ma only tell you once, Rares there wants to be with you and because of yer training she can't. It doesn't make it any easier on her seein' you with that green mare with you working well together. Also the fact you and that mare get along pretty well." Applejack explained

"So Rarity is jealous?" I asked

"It was kinda obvious ya dunce"

"Being a bit brutal dont ya think?"

"The truth hurts Keith, now you better go patch things up with Rares Keith, before it's to late"

"On it, and thank you Applejack" I flapped my wings and took off after Rarity.

I have been looking for Rarity for ten minutes now 'Match activate thermal'

'Got ya covered Sir'

I closed my eyes, and when I opened them they were slitted allowing me to see everyone in the palace. As best as I could tell Rarity was in a room far above me, so I took the logical option and ran into the nearest room, which just so happened to be a hall way with glass murals letting the the sunlight shine wonderful colors through it, and a huge golden safe thing at the end

"Forgive me Celestia" I slammed myself through a window shattering it completely. I started to free fall, as I opened my wings a searing pain rolled throughout my body making me blackout for a few seconds. I shook my head and looked at my wings only to find multiple pieces of glass sticking out of them "SHIT SHIT SHIT, COME ON KEITH THINK FAST" I screamed at myself "Ah I've got it, "IGNITE" "FLASH-FREEZE"" My sword and needles appeared before me

'2000 yard till you hit the bottom' Match Warned

'Thank you Match I'm well aware' I started to connect the needles together then attach the end of it to my sword's hilt. I held onto two needles for dear life in my right hand, as I held my sword backwards in my left hand

'Sir 1000 yards'

I threw my sword as far as I could

'500 yards'

I heard a crack fill the empty air

'200 yards'

I saw the sword stick in the window seal right above Rarity's window

'100 yards'

The needles slowly grew apart from each other

'Sir look down'

I did as instructed and noticed my wings laying on the ground "Well I dont think that can get any worse… shit" The needles stared to retract back to one another, which in turn made me rocket all the way to the top of the castle only to have my head hit the hilt of my sword "Ouch" I reached out and knocked on the window "Rarity it's me, I could use some help"

"Why dont you get your "partner" to come help you or if that is what you even call her" Rarity shouted at me through the window

"First of all my wings got sliced up when I jumped through the mural, which I believe was probably a priceless work of art. Secondly I think I have a concussion. Also my partner who is nothing more than a friend, can't fly, and is not on the other side of the window. Lastly I want to talk to you. Now please let me in my arm is tired and if I fall I die" I asked pleadingly

"………You've got five minutes to make amends and then it's back out the window" She opened up the window and I jumped through it landing on my back of all things "Hurry up your down to four"

"First off Rarity I'm sorry for not seeing it before, I should have know that you'd miss me. I dont you seeing me work together with Ranger help you and I was stupid to not realize, that you might have gotten jealous-" I started off apologetically

"I DONT GET JEALOUS"

I stared at her

"Okay maybe I do so what" she laid down on her bed, with her hooves dangling off it

"-but even if so wether you were or not, I am honest to… whatever god you have here, that i'm sorry, and would never do anything to intentionally hurt you" I sat next to her and placed a hand on her right hoof

She hopped off her bed and stood right in front of me. Then with a quick movement, she slapped me "I want you to write me everyday, understood"

"Does this mean you forgive me" I asked hopefully

"Yes I suppose, and since you took all the trouble of getting here and then apologizing…" She walked over to the door and locked it shaking her flank the entire time. Her horn lit up removing the glass from my wings and tossing it into a garbage can. "I do believe you deserve some kind of reward" The words rolled off her tongue like water in a smooth stream. She place both hooves on my shoulders and pinned me down to the bed "Lets have some fun shall we" She kissed me

"mmm hmmm" I nodded stupidly

Discord's Game - Part 1 Ch. 3

I awoke with a start, more like being electrocuted "Wakey wakey eggs and bakey" The only person I know with a personality like this

"What do you want Discord" I feeling a bit tingly everywhere, and a plate of eggs and bacon appeared, which I scarfed down eagerly since I hadn't eaten in a weak… what can I say I've been busy

"Well I wanted to know if you'd be interested in a little game" Discord chuckled

"That depends what's the ga-" A glass shattering scream went throughout the room nearly blowing up my eardrums

"What is he doing in our room!?" she used the blankets to cover up

"Rarity… think about what your doing… your always naked, and Discord want's me to play a game. Since he is not entirely evil anymore as far as I know, I'm game -"

"Thats the spirit Keith now we better get started and" Discord started to ramble but not before I cut him off

"-But you have to promise me nopony gets hurt, and that this is not a evil plot" I warned him "And if it is" I stood up, and grabbed him by the throat "Your ass is mine ten different ways to Tartarus, Understood?"

"Keith your naked!" Rarity "loud" whispered at me

"My My, your quite sizable Keith" Discord added obviously impressed

"Hey, Head up, It's only gay, and awkward if you make that way. Now about this game your speaking of?" I walked over and put on my briefs and pants on and sat back on the bed to inspect my wings

"Well think of this, everyone has four lives and each person gets one of these

Discord snapped his fingers, and a small golden wristband. "Whats this supposed to be" I asked completely confused

"Put it on" He simply said

"If this blows up" I put it on, and I was honestly surprised by how much i'm being surprised on this planet. The wristband lit up and a blue mana orb was formed in my palm

Discord spoke "I is non-lethal so dont worry about it, and all you have to do is hold your arm straight out and give it a small push, practice on the dummy over there" Discord snapped his fingers and a dummy appeared with the same golden band

I held out my hand and did as Discord instructed. The ball was sent flying at an estimate of fifty mph and hit the dummy. I braced myself for an explosion, but all that happened was a meter with four hearts appeared above the dummy's head, one heart dissolved. "What happens when that meter has no more hearts"

"The pony who losses all his lives are transported to the throne room where refreshments and beverages await the ponies who played. There will also be screens set up to watch the other competitors who are still in play"

"Seems legit, what are the rules?"

"The game itself lasts an entire day as the time length, there will be multiple attachments for your wristbands, and extra health packs, all scattered throughout ponyville, the boundary is ponyville. This is a team battle so you must have a team of at least three, up to six"

"Anything else before I go for a team?"

"Yes unicorns are not allowed to use magic but an exception is using there magic to for barriers, so it'd be wise to construct your team with a unicorn"

"Done, I've made up my team for your game Discord" I said with cofidence

"Really who are the selected ponies?" Discord asked with confusion

"Rarity, Lieutenants Ace, and Time, Ranger, and hopefully the captain"

"Actually Keith I think I'm gonna go with the girls, You behave now, and if you do anything funny with that Ranger girl I'll rip off your testicles and shove them down your thought, Okay honey, bye bye" Rarity walked out of the room with a smile

"I hate to say this Keith my boy, but I fear for you sometimes" Discord said staring at the door

"Are you kidding I fear for myself most times, So can you teleport me to my other room?"

"Consider it done my friend, oh and take these" Discord poof'd up five more for me "One more for you and four others for your team"

"Thank you" And with that I am now in my room staring at the absurd scene before me. Ranger and… Rarity!? were making out on my bed

'Sorry to say Sir but I think your girl is cheating on you' Match said trying not to laugh

'It's okay I'm so gonna use this as leverage later though' I pulled out a small digital camera that I always have on me, turned off the flash, and took the picture. I put the camera back into my pocket, and walked out the door quietly. About ten minutes later I reached the training grounds, it was easy enough to spot them, as they were in the very back clashing swords

'Master are you okay with what Rarity'

'Totally fine Frost, because no matter which way you look at it I'm gonna get something out of this, I know it's not my style, but it gonna be funny as hell in the end'

'Meh I guess you right Master'

'ooooo say that again'

'You right?" Frost wondered

'Gosh I love it when i'm right' I arrived at the training grounds "IGNITE" I took of in a bee line straight for the ponies I was looking for, disarming anyone who got in my way

"Hey Keith whats up" Time and Ace walked up to me, as I was locked in a sword fight with ten guards

"Ah" I swung my sword horizontal cleanly cutting everyones blade "Just the ponies I wanted to see"

"Really, whats up" Ace asked hovering in the sky much like a cyan mare I know

"How would you two like to be apart of my team for a game"

"Sure whats the name of the game?" Time asked me

Well on my little tussle here i've decided to call it "Team Survivors", so what ya say guys?"

"Hey I'm down man" Ace said kicking back in the air"

"Whats the rules and i'll play" Time said with interest

"Well first of off you'll need these" I handed them the bracelets, which they both put on. Then I Explained the rules of the game and where it's being held "alright now you two go to ponyville and wait for me there, there is one more addition to my team I need to make"

"Got I Keith but better clear us up with Celestia" Ace warned

"On it" I walked back to the room I shared with Ranger, and opened thee door quietly. I walked in to see Rarity, and Ranger really going at it now, so being me I pulled out my camera and took another picture. I walked back out of the room, closing the door ever so quietly, and if today couldn't get any better, I started pounding on the door, making the door cave in a bit, and sending a loud echo down the empty halls. "RANGER I NEED TO TALK TO YOU!" I yelled. I heard two screams and hushed whispers. I swung open the door to find Ranger sitting at the foot of my bed smiling at me as though sees innocent... 'Oh i'm gonna call them out'

'Best of luck master' Frost sarcastically chuckled

I sniffed the air "Frost" "Match" I summoned my two pets "I heard someone else in here, find them" I winked at them. They got the hint and started to search the place top to bottom

"Keith what are you doing here?" Ranger asked trying to cover up her shaky voice

"Tell me Ranger" I sat next to her on the edge of the bed, feeling another shuffle of movement next to me beneath Ranger's cloak "Do you know what a camera is?"

"I have no idea what that is Keith and why it matter" She spoke getting nervous because of my tone of voice, which was "knowing"

I sent a mental message to my pets and told them to stop the search "Well a camera is a thing of wonder it allows a user "me" to take a picture of anything at any point in time and capture the image to be seen. This so call image is one of you" I slyly played a dual meaning into there, as I pulled out the camera I turned it on.

Ranger looked at the camera in shock not only because the picture looks amazing but because it showed two pictures with her and Rarity doing the deed at the start and at the end "uh oh" is all she could say

"So would" I shoved it beneath the cloak "you like to see too?"

Rarity jumped out from beneath Ranger's cloak and backed up into a wall stuttering "It' n-not what y-you th-th-think ah yes you see umm I was just walking along to see the girls heh heh, and I ran into Ms. Shot here, and then we started to talk. Then we came to the room and we... kissed, and one thing lead to another and we ended up um doing that heh heh quite the funny story huh?"

"Well first of all that was the longest non-apologize speech I have ever heard, and second who kissed who first?" I asked standing in the middle of the room with my arms crossed.

"I did, I'm sorry" Ranger raised her hoof "I just want so badly what you, and this fine mare have. So I um was wondering if I could umm..." she trailed off

"Oh for heavens sake, she would like to know if we could be a heard?…" Rarity blurted out, then freezing up

"Okay" I said nonchalantly

"What!?" both girls screamed at the same time

"I said "Okay" okay"

Both Rarity and Ranger jumped on me, but Ranger spoke first "Thank you, I promise I will always keep you happy"

"Better keep that promise. Just because we may be a heard now doesnt mean that you both are off the hook yet. I'm still a bit bummed that you would cheat on me Rares, and you too Ranger, so you both are going to do something for me later"

"You name it Darling and we'll do it to our fullest extent, isn't that right dear" Rarity kissed Ranger right on top of me

"MMMMHHHMMMMMM" Ranger moaned into the kiss

"Well Rarity you best go meet up with the girls at Ponyville and get prepared" I handed her the braclet that she put on

"Alright love, Taa Taa" Rarity said walking out the door, and drooling over the beautiful bracelet

"And me and you should go meet up with our team, Lieutenants Ace, and Time"

"Team? what team" Ranger asked confused

"I'll explain on the way!" I shouted Grabbing Ranger by the waist, and jumping out the window "MATCH" "FROST" my pets formed back into me, then I took off to ponyville with Ranger cradled in my arms

Discord's game - Part 2 Ch. 4

Me and Ranger AKA my new girl landed right next to Time and Ace "Hey guys whats up"

"What the crap!" Ace jumped into Time's hooves shouting

"Ace my friend, i'm gonna have to ask you to get the hell off me" Time dropped Ace on the floor "Just because you are not use to others sneaking up on you does not mean i'm not too" Time said getting annoyed

"Well you didn't have to drop me" Ace groaned

"Ah but it's more fun for the audience" Time winked to a random direction

'I'm going to ignore that' I thought

"Wait… what?" Asked a confused Ace

"Nothing so when does this game start" Time asked

---------3rd person---------

Discord popped in right above Ponyville with a megaphone and reviewed all the rules "In addition to ease all your nerves Princess Luna will also be joining the game with team Frozen-Fire lead by KEITH!"

"REALLY DISCORD THATS THE BEST NAME YOU COULD COME UP WITH!" Keith shouted

"No I just thought it would be funny"

"I am going to get you for this…" Then it hit Keith "WAIT LUNA IS ON MY TEAM!"

A blue blur landed right next to Keith's team "Indeed I am, I like to get out and do things every now and then. Why is this inconvenient for you?"

"No no it's okay Luna just shocked is all" I stuttered

"I am pleased may your orders lead us to victory" Luna walked up to Keith and place a hoof on his shoulder "I am ready to follow"

Keith looked stupefied. Discord whistled loudly as he held up three fingers. A giant Red number 3 appeared in the sky, and counted down to Discord's fingers. 3… 2… 1… GO

"Team form up. Luna, Ranger, Time surround me and Ace. Ace you aim for the sky, and I'll take the blind spots, if any of you see anyone…anyPony tell me, understood" Keith shouted his order to his team

"On it" Ranger said

"Can do friend" Time saluted

"Of course" Luna said a bit hesitantly obviously not use to taking orders

"Done" Ace shouted, and hovered right above Keith. The two unicorns and alicorn cast the shields around Keith

"Alright team lets move and find some cover" Keith said to his team

---------(elsewhere)--------

Twilight lead her team to Applejacks barn "Alright girls we have to be ready when ponies come trotting along"

"We hear ya Twi, but I highly doubt that some random ponies are gonna waltz…" Applejack said there was a knock at the door

"Hello is anypony in there?" A young country accent worked it's way to Applejack's ears

"Applebloom be quiet you dont want others to hear us do you?" A voice similar to Rainbow's voice was heard by non other herself, Rainbow Dash

"You both are gonna get us caught and out of lives" Sweetie Bell shouted making it obvious to Rarity

Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack each had smiles of revenge on their faces

"This is gonna be awesome" Rainbow Dash said quietly as she raised her hoof with a golden band on it

"Ah second that" Applejack bumped hooves with RD

"As do I, I believe some sisterly love is what they desire" Rarity bumped hooves with the other two

---------(elsewhere)---------

"umm Octavia is she okay" Lyra asked what four different set of eyes were thinking. Those eyes happened to be Lyra, Bon Bon, The Doctor, and Derpy Hooves.

"Yes she'll be fine once this whole thing blows over" Octavia glanced back at a Vinyl Scratch who was rocking back and forth in a corner holding a record, and staring at her turntables that Octavia had put a lock on so Vinyl couldn't use them

"Wub-a-Dub-Dub" Vinyl started to sing at an eerie tempo as though she has lost her mind

----------(Back with Team Frozen-Fire)--------

A loud siren went off attracting everyones attention "Team CMC is now out of the game"

"Well pick on the kids why dont ya" Keith thrusted both hands in front of him launching two mana balls at Colgate, which team she is with, even I have no clue, but her heart monitor appeared over her with two hearts left and as the balls hit she was gone only thing left was a chest. The team walked over to the chest "Be careful team this could be a trap"

"Then tell me again why your opening the chest?" Luna asked

"Curiosity" Keith pick up the small chest that fit in his hand, and opened it. Keith pulled out a compass and a note. The note read "Dear the pony or Keith who obtains this compass, this compass points you in the direction of the nearest pony not on your team" Keith held up the compass and it pointed to a giant gingerbread house

Ace landed next to Keith "Hey Keith we could all use a break and get some snacks"

"Well that wont be much of a prob…" Keith opened the glass double doors only to see an all out war in there "…lem, Well Luna were breaching this bitch, you take the right side, Ranger you take left, both of you be ready, Ace you know what to do"

"Roger" Ace walked over to the door, turned around and bucked them as hard as he could

"Time, Ace keep the door covered, Ranger, Luna GO GO GO" the three rushed into the shop

(Back with Team Harmony)

"OOOOOOOOOoo what are those" Pinkie Pie asked staring at three new chests that Applejack brought into the barn

"Ah dont Know Pinks but I was waiting to open mine because you never know if it's a trap"

"AWW YEAH" Rainbow shouted Pulling out a small glass ball with a red plus in it "I got extra life" Rainbow smashed the orb. Doing so Caused Rainbow's heart monitor appear, The read hearts turned green then blue "Sweet twelve lives now, I ain't going down so easy now"

"Where did you get those" Twilight asked

"We found 'em right after we took out our sisters when they disappeared" Applejack opened hers and pulled out a golden key and a note. the note read "This is a key that unlock the bracelets true power, turning it from single shot to rapid fire. Just place the key to the bracelet and turn" Applejack looked at the key then back at Pinkie Pie "Meh I dont need it" Here Pinks

Pinkie Pie squealed, and she caught the key. She put it to her bracelet and turned, a flash of light later and the bracelet is now a gauntlet "OOOOOOOOOO shiny" Pinkie Pie said

"Ah I got a lovely necklace that grants me a personal shield" Rarity ogled at it and put it on "Fashionable and functional"

(Back with Team Tempo)

Vinyl raised her head and looked at the golden band on her wrist and the five ponies sitting with there backs turned to her. Vinyl got a twisted smile raised her hoof and aimed at Lyra

(5 min later)

"Whats wrong with you Vinyl you took out our entire team" Octavia scolded the now twitching Vinyl

"No I haven't, your still here sweet cheeks" Vinyl started to walk slowly around Octavia since Vinyl was wearing both hers and Octavia's bracelet.

"Vinyl this is not funny"

"MMMMM whats not funny" Vinyl grazed Octavia's flank with her tail, which elected a gasp from the classical mare

"That, what you just did"

"Sorry, Tavi I'm afraid I have no idea what your talking about" Vinyl half jumped onto Octavia and started to nibble on her ear. Which in turn made Octavia bite her lip

"V-Vinyl stop th-this" Octavia stuttered

Vinyl leaned into Octavia's ear and whispered "I think a bit more fun is in order" Vinyl started to give light kisses on the base of Octavia's neck, and slowly went up. Vinyl kissed Octavia's cheek. Then the side of her mouth. Then one last lustful kiss right on Octavia's lips.

Octavia couldn't help herself anymore, she kissed Vinyl hard and pushed her onto the couch with lips still locked "Are ready to make some music Vinyl?"

"Of course Tavi" Vinyl pulled her back in for another kiss

(Back with Team Frozen-Fire)

"Okay good job team, I need a report how much life is everyone at, I'm at three"

"Two unfortunately" Ranger said saddened

"Me, Ace, and Time are all still at four" Luna said

"Well we have plenty of chests to open, maybe we'll get lucky and find some health, well team lets get cracking, cause I say we just took out maybe Twenty to thirty ponies"

"Well Keith I hate to burst your bubble" Discord appeared next to Keith then popped a bubble "But team Frozen-Fire, and team Harmony are the only ones left and the other team seems to be hiding out at the farm down the road, do be a sport and end the game, will you" Discord them popped out

"Well then" Keith said dumbfounded "team what we got that can help us?" Keith walked over too the stash they had acquired, and started to rummage through it "Health, Bracelets, communicators, a any free spell coupon, that'll go to Luna, armor, and… OH MY GOD, I am SOOOOOOOO Gonna abuse this"

"Hey Keith watch ya got there?" Time asked

Keith showed him a blueprint and a yellow ball. Then just like that the rest of the team smiled too.

-------Applejack's farm-------

"Hey um girls we may have a problem!" Rainbow Dash worried

"Whats wrong Rainbow, Wing tied?" A.J. asked looking through the top barn window. Two seconds later A.J. came back in with a pale face

"Do you see it" R.D. asked

"I'm afraid so, GIRLS DEFEND THE BARN, BE READY!" Applejack shouted running around

Rainbow looked out the window again "EEYUP we are SOOOOOOO bucked"

---------In front of the barn---------

There standing there was Keith decked out in white energy armor. In one hand he is holding a big ass gun with eight barrels that are touching the ground down by his hip, and in his other hand a yellow ball "Hey girls, get out here, the rest of my team has been defeated, lets get this over with"

--------inside the barn-------

"Well Twilight what do ya think we should do" Pinkie pie asked appearing from nowhere

Twilight stared at her then at Keith from an open window, back at Pinkie, back to Keith, then finally back to Pinkie with a smile "You"

Pinkie blushed "Umm Twilight dont you think it's a bit early for that?"

"What?… NO! I mean were gonna send you out to fight Keith"

"I dont know Twilight let me ask the audience, What do you guys, and or girls think?" Pinkie turned and looked straight at you

Discord's Game - Part 3 Ch. 5

Keith shot into the air, and started to rain magic down on Pinkie who dodge them without a problem "Damn it Pinkie stop dodging it, and just take it" Keith shouted.

"NEVER!" Pinkie Pie shouted, and fire a barrage of magic at Keith thanks to her rapid fire arm

"You fell for my trap" Keith said and raised his fingers about to snap his fingers

"Sorry Keith but you already used that trick in the other ending!" Pinkie Pie shouted, and threw the ball that Keith had in his pocket Right. Back. At. Him

"What?" Keith snapped, and a shining light blinded him hence screwing logic dropped to the ground then exploded on contact. Keith stood up missing his crafted gun, probably exploded on him, "Piece of crap gun" Keith then spat on the shrapnel covered ground then looked at his life gauge that dropped too 20 from 30.

"Hold still partner" a southern accent spoke through the smoke

"Thats enough dear you've battle hard now you lose" a familiar high end voice spoke through the smoke

"So all five of you are there?" Keith opened his wings inside the crater he formed from the fall

"Dont even think about it dude" a raspy tone came from above

"You have no escape, Keith, give up" a knowing tone came from non other than Twilight

'Master it seems as though your surrounded on all side one each on north, east, south, west, and above' Frost said

'Thank you Frost, Match activate thermal'

'On it sir' Match said

Keith's eyes shone briefly and turned to slits "Sorry girls it's over…"

"It is for you silly" Pinkie Pie said

"…FOR YOU!!!" Keith flapped his wings sending the dust storm from his impact into Pinkie, Twilight, Rarity, and Applejack. From the beat of his wings Keith also launched himself right at Rainbow dash.

The girls who Keith blinded whipped away the dust, and all started to fire at him. Keith used the beat of his wings to blind the girls to also launch himself upward to Rainbow, who was also shooting at him. Keith dodged Rainbow's shots getting in close and grabbing her around her wings with his arms, and wrapping his legs around hers. Keith continued to flap his wings to keep in the air, but damn Rainbow was squirming to much "Come on just a little more" Keith whispered

"Keith let me go before…Buck" Rainbow said taking all the shot Keith just avoided, then poof'd away leaving Keith exposed

"Rainbow Dash were sorry!" Twilight shouted

"Damn i'm down to 10 health" Keith said hovering in the air. Then Keith took into a sharp dive right at Twilight, while firing at her. Unfortunatly for Twilight her life was depleted to 0 from 10.

Keith landed hard right where Twilight was before she vanished. Keith swung around and fire at Applejack, she flinched. Keith rushed her, spun around and swiped her feet from beneath her, then came around and and started to swing a over head punch at her, and before it made contact Keith fired a bolt right in her face making her vanish leaving his now opened hand on a crash course for the ground. Keith's firmly grabbed the ground, and pulled on it launching himself at Pinkie "Hey Pinkie, CUPCAKES!" Keith shouted

Pinkie's gaze snapped from left to right "WHERE?!"

"Right here" Keith grabbed Pinkie by the waist and threw her in the air, and started to shoot at her. Keith hit every shot making Pinkie Pie vanish "Crap I'm down to 1 life, and Rarity is still here somewhere, wait did I lose her?"

"Right here dear" Rarity whispered into Keith's ear. Keith spun around but couldn't fire because Rarity locked lips with Keith. Keith backed away slowly holding his head, while Rarity held a free infatuation spell, that would only work with lip to lip contact. Keith opened his now pink eyes, and wings snapped out with a *POMF*. "Come here love, I'm waiting for you" Rarity winked. Keith walked over to Rarity and kissed her passionately

"Rarity I love you" Keith said mechanically

"Oh Keith I love you too" Rarity Giggled

----------Canterlot Palace----------

"JUST HURRY UP AND FINISH HIM!" Ranger shouted chewing on her cloak

"Relax Ranger, it's not like you aren't sharing him with her" Time spoke reasonably

"I KNOW THAT BUT SHE USED THE SAME SPELL ON ME, and while I was under you two dunces decide to watch me make out with her and got blasted" Ranger vented

"Well what about me Ranger" Luna walked up

"YOU WERE WATCHING T…" Ranger stopped talking the second she shaw Luna

"I dont mind Ranger, I kinda liked it" Luna walked up to Ranger and kissed her lightly on the cheek, then winked at her. Ranger *EEPed*

------------The Fields---------

"Rarity your so lovely today" Keith mechanically complemented

"Oh why thank you Keith, but this is the end for you" Rarity fire a bolt into his chest. Keith vanished. A chest fell where Keith was just a moment ago. Rarity picked it up and opened it to find a golden gem encrusted cup with her name written on it "Well it looks like i've won" Rarity said with a smile

--------Back at the palace--------

Keith appeared in the palace near the ceiling and fell to the floor, luckily a blue blur swooped in and caught him "Keith are thou alright?" Luna asked placing a infatuated Keith on the ground and tapping him o the face

"Frost, Match if your in there you better fix him before I come in there and devour your soul" Ranger threatened Keith's body

A red and blue mist leaked from his body. The mist condensed forming Frost the Windigo and Match the Phoenix

"Frost lets snap Sir out of it" Match spoke only to Frost

"Yes" They both turned to mist and seeped into Keith's head

A few seconds later a pink mist was blasted out of Keith. Keith sat up and blasted it with ice, and started to condense the ice into a small ball that he placed in his back pocket right next to the orb of rainbows heat. "Okay what happened" Keith asked. Ace told him exactly what happened, and how Keith's team lost. "Well shit, guess we got cocky"

"Maybe Keith but I must admit if were are put into a battle with thou we shall gladly accept your leadership" Luna said

"Thank you Luna"

"It's not a problem, but when you have a moment I would like to talk to Ranger and Rarity, could you please ask them to meet me in my chambers?"

"Gladly" Keith said happily

"Here Keith I got you some water" Ranger said

"Thank you" Keith gladly drank the water, as soon as he was done Ranger tackled him and started to kiss him

"Alright everyone listen up, now presenting the winners of the first ever Last Survivalist competition is team Harmony, and for there prize is and all expense paid trip to manehatten, and for the runner up team Frozen-Fire they get the runner up prize of one month free paid vacation from all royal duties yes this includes you too Luna" Discord announced to all the competitors

"Wait… What?" Time asked confused "You mean we have nothing but time on our hooves"

"Thats exactly what he is saying Time" Ace said with glee

"Oh thank… okay seriously someone has to tell me what god they have here so I can make the right saying" Keith said

"So Keith what now?" Time asked

"Simple… WE GET WASTED!"

"What?"

"Drunk Time, drunk"

"Oh, umm I think I'll pass"

"Nope I'm taking the team, and I will get you drunk one way or another"

"You wouldn't" Time said threateningly. Keith lowered his head so it was covered by the shadows, all Time could see was a perfectly glowing circle eye staring at him "Umm Umm K-Keith?" A glowing red crescent smile appeared on Keith's face. Keith slowly started to sway too Time.

"Dude your fucked" Aced whispered to Time

"Okay Okay, Lets go get drunk" Time shuddered

"Good I was afraid I was gonna have to eat your soul" Keith went back to his normal smile and face

"Well Keith I'm afraid I have things to do here at the castle…" Luna started to say only to be picked up by Keith and slung over his shoulder "KEITH PUT ME DOWN!" Luna started screaming.

"Bye Bye Luna~ have fun~" Celestia said waving a hoof

"This was her idea huh?" Luna asked

"Eeyup" Keith said "Ace, Time, Ranger, Lets go get WASTED!!!"

--------30 minutes later--------

Keith Kicked open the door to the bar, then placed luna on the ground. "Okay Keith was it really necessary to carry me all the way here"

"Yes now just so your aware were putting all the drinks on your tab princess" Keith said

"I have a feeling I am going to be in debt by the time we leave"

"You have no Idea"

---------4 hours later… and a bar fight--------

Keith stumbled out of the bar "Man that was fun" He slurred to himself "Man I gotta take a piss" Keith spotted a dark ally way that was practically screaming black people territory "Challenged accepted" Keith started to walk down the ally. About half way into said ally he started to take a leak, and that was all he remembered before blacking out.

Author's Note

Well I'm a bit brain dead so for those who are still reading my story, I must inform you that I will not be post a chapter next week. Have a good week everyone

Blitzer Sparks

False Personality Ch. 6

Keith walked out of the ally, and stretched "I'll have to get used to this, but it will be easy" Keith walked back into the bar

"Keith where ya been buddy" Time came stumbling up to him

"Yes Keith I do believe Luna and I deserve an explanation on where you have been, right Luna?" Ranger asked a very wasted Luna who was currently throwing up in some random vase.

Keith cleared his voice "I was umm... Taking a leak?"

"Hmm fair enough" Time slurred

"Hey how com your not drunk too?" Ace asked

"Umm high tolerance?"

"Naw that can't be it you had more than me, we even had a drink off" Ace started to get into Keith face

"Well maybe you have become so drunk I'm not"

"... You win this round Keith"

Keith walked over to an empty table, and sat down. "Ugh that was to close, I need to start messing up this creatures life . . . And I think I have just the way to do so" Keith eyes turned green and flashed two fangs and a smile

----------Somewhere else------------

Keith woke up in the middle of a Forest "Oh for fucks sake, I know I wasn't that drunk last night" shouted holding his only to bring his hand to his face too find blood over his hand, and that he was naked except for the necklace Shining Armor had given him. "Well time to figure out where the hell I am, Frost, Match, can you both come here?" A blue and red mist seeped from Keith's body and condensed into the Phoenix, and Windago.

"How can we be of assistance Master/Sir?" Match and Frost recited at the same time

"First, I'm feeling abandoned so I'd like some company. Secondly, the fuck are we?"

"Well males never were the best with directions so why don't we ask for some, Master?" Frost said

"NEVER!!!" Keith and Match yelled

"Match I want you to scout the area then report back"

"Yes Sir, I'll be back soon" Match then took off into the sky

"And Frost I need you're help, can you freeze this wound?"

"Of course Master" Frost breathed icy winds onto the wound and froze it

"Now if you don't mind Frost, could you use you're magic on this amulet?"

"Of course I am always happy to serve you, Master" Frost said with a wink

"Umm. . . What?" Frost used her magic on the amulet. The amulet started to glow blue, then a wave of blue engulfed Keith's body. A blue wizards cap with a golden ring around it spawned on his head, followed by a blue shirt with golden stitching, then dark blue jeans, a pair of light blue running shoes formed on his feet as he was floating in the air from the amulet, and then to finish it off a black cloak with no hood covered his body and cloths. Keith was placed back on the ground. "Thanks Frost"

"Your welcome Master" Frost spoke inside Keith head

"Wait Sir" Match came and landed on my shoulder "We are in the dead center of the Everfree Forest, and Ponyville is that way" Match pointed to the north area

"Well I think we sould walk" Keith stated

"Well we don't have much of a choice, look up sir" Match showed Keith how the trees were restricting take off

"Well then lets get too it" Keith said as Match seeped into his body, and started to walk to Ponyville. That was until he heard a growl right behind him. Keith quickly spun around coming face to face with a manticore. "Aww Fuck" Keith was then bitch smacked by the paw of the manticore and flung through several thick trees. Keith stood up and wiped the grim off his face "This is going to be our most interesting walk ever, IGNITE" Keith rushed the manticore with a ferocious battle cry.

-----------Meanwhile Elsewhere-----------

"Keith what the hay are you doing!?" Ranger asked / yelled at Keith.

"I don't know what you're talking about" Keith said then imeadiatly went back to making out with the random mare

"KEITH!!!" Rarity shouted

Keith turned his attention to Rarity only to be slapped across the face and see her crying and running back to the boutique "yes as long as I keep this up I'll ruin his life and get the emotion" Keith whispered to himself as he watched Ranger run after Rarity.

Then Ranger came back shortly after and shouted "WERE THROUGH YOU PEICE OF SHIT" Ranger then bolted off for the train satiation.

"Yes this is going to be perfect" Keith continued to kiss the random mare

----------Back in the Everfree---------

"How many does that make Match?" Keith asked

"27 manticores defeated 3 of them dead and 1 captured"

"Man it's good to have tamed the alpha, isn't that right Tom?" Keith grabbed the mane of the manticore he was riding and whispered into his ear "Right Tom"

All the manticore did was soil itself, whimper and nod

"Good, now run in that direction Tom" Keith demanded. All the poor manticore could do was whimper and run

---------Back at Ponyvillle--------

"All according to plan" Keith chuckled to himself "Now let ruin His and Luna's relation"

"Hello Keith may I ask why Rarity is crying and ruining her home?"

"Actually you can ask but I hope your prepared horse" Keith snickered

"I'm sorry, what?" Luna asked in shock

"You heard me horse, now let me tell you something I am tired of you and the few mares I'm stuck with, when in reality I can have all the love I want" Keith said with a snicker

"W-What has gotten into you Keith?" Luna asked with tears in her eyes

"Three annoying mares, thats what. Now, move" Keith shoved Luna out of the way.

Luna fell to the ground in tears. She stood back up and looked at the now walking away Keith "I HOPE I NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN YOU PEICE OF SHIT!!!" Luna shouted then skyrocketed off to the castle causing a sonic boom. The tiara fell from her head and clattered to the ground

"Perfect now with that accursed Princess Luna out of the way, Generosity whining like a baby, his partner emotionally unstable, and no one around who will love him I think I'll take my leave before he arrives soon" Keith ran to the Everfree Forest

----------The Everfree Forest----------

"Sir, we are almost there"

"Thank you Match" Keith said. A few minutes later Keith burst through the forest brush "Finally I'm home" Keith said with a smile "I should Probably let everyone know where I've been. Hey Frost can you see whose the closest to here?" Keith asked

"Of course Master" Frost giggled "Miss Fluttershy, and Miss Rarity, are at the cottage to your left"

"Thank you Frost. Tom Yah" Tome started to run to the cottage. Keith arrived at the cottage, Keith then knocked on the door

"Hello" A shy voice begun "How can I help... Oh what do you want Mr. Meanie" Asked a Angry Fluttershy

"I'm sorry what? All I came here to was tell you were I've been from last night to now" Said a confused Keith

"We all know where you have been, and what you have been doing"

"Thats a Relief now can I see Rarity?"

"How rude, I'm afraid you cannot do that right now" Asked a pissed Fluttershy

"I'm sorry then do you know where I can find Ranger or Luna?" Keith asked with a wavering smile

"No" She gave Keith a death glare. Then slammed the door

"Umm well then take of Tom for me please, I sorta knocked out his pack and killed three of them" Keith yelled at the door, then blasted off towards to a giant tree house

---------Twilight Home---------

"Twilight was just casually arranging her book when all of a sudden a blue blur smashed through her window "Dang it Rainbow what did I tell you about… Oh it's you, what do you want" Twilight asked in disgust

"Two things, as I was flying over here I noticed that the town was wreck, and for some odd reason everybody was mad or pissed at me when I did nothing wrong" Keith said

"What do you mean you did nothing wrong!? You caused thousands of bits in collateral damage, and you smashed all of Applejacks apples, then to top it off you shattered Rarity's, Rangers, and Princess Luna's hearts. how can you say you did nothing wrong when you did all of this!?"

"Because I didn't do any of what you just said, all I remember doing from last night too now would be taking a piss in an ally way, blacking out in said ally way, waking up in the middle of the Everfree forest with no clothes except the amulet, thats how I got these clothes" Keith gestured to the clothes then continued "then as I was about to start walking to Ponyville to let you all know where I've been, I was attacked by a group of manticores, in which I defeated 27, killed 3, and tamed the alpha. The said alpha I named Tom who I rode to Fluttershy's cottage, in which Fluttershy yelled at me,and hit me with a door. (deep Breath) Then I got confused and flew here smashing through your window, to find out whats going on" Keith breathed heavily.

"Hold still Keith" Twilight horn glowed and with a flash the glow was gone

"What did you just do?" Keith asked

"I cast a truth spell on you now, was it you who was in the town ruining lives?"

"No, I told you that" Keith said honestly

"Well if it wasn't you then… Buck, I think I know who..."

Twilight was cut off as a zebra burst through the door "It was you, what more can you do, now that my place is on fire, you came here to make a situation even dire?"

"Zecora Trust me It wasn't Keith who set you place on fire… Wait you place is on fire!? Keith lets go, Grab Zecora" Twilight said

"Alright, everybody all aborred the Keith express" Keith picked up Twilight and Zecora and blasted off to her hut. Keith landed and saw the hut was about to spread if not tamed, and a dark silhouette run off into the forest "Match stay here and do as Twilight asks of you, I'm gonna go hunting"

"Yes Master, please stay safe" Frost said as Keith booked it after the figure

The Hunt Ch. 7

"Why you running? I'm only gonna stab you till you die imposter!" Keith shouted at the black figure that was slowly getting farther and farther away from him "Match I need some night vision" Keith said

"... Sorry Sir night vision is Frost's jurisdiction" Match said

"Well fu..." Keith's sentence was cut short as he slammed into a tree "...ck... Well then at least give me thermal, I'll track it from the sky" Keith ordered

"Yes Sir" Match then activated thermal as Keith shot off into the sky "Target acquired moving north from current position"

Keith shot off in said direction "You know Match you don't have to call me sir" Keith said

"I know but I feel as though I am obligated since you have gave Frost and I a newfound home with you. Also I owe you this much because before this so many people hated Frost. When you gave her a home, and a name nobody gave her a second glance, hence the reason she calls you master, and I, Sir" Match said with a happy tone

"3 thing Match. 1. There were enough syllables to give me a headache. 2. I'm glad you can share that with me and it means as much to me as it does to you. 3. Brace for impact "IGNITE" this is gonna be a ruff landing" Keith's sword appeared in his right hand. Keith then brought the sword to his left side and sheathed it. Despite the lack of a sheath one formed on his side. Keith them spread out both arms and bomb dived/tackle the black figure. The said black figure upon further inspection due to the dive tackle turned out to be an exact copy of him. Finally both Keith tumbled to the near "Who are you!?" Keith asked sliding to a stop

"Well it seem I have no choice now, I am Clone, Mirror Clone, a changeling, and an underlining of the one you know as Boss, and you can call me Mirror"

"If you work for Boss then I'm gonna make it my sole goal to make you both pay for hurting the ones I care about" Keith unsheathed his sword and the sheath disappeared "and I know just were to start" Keith lunged forward with an overhead swing ready to cleave his opponent in half

"Now now Keith don't be so hasty" Mirror then faded into shadows out of the way and faded back in behind Keith. Before Keith had time to respond Mirror slammed his elbow into Keith's back. Keith tumbled to the ground

"Lucky shot" Keith rolled and pushed off the grounding onto his feet. Mirror simply stood there. Keith rushed in for another stab, and before Mirror could fade away Keith hurled a fireball at Mirror's face. Mirror was caught off guard, and was struck directly in the face with a flaming inferno. Mirror stumbled back due to his new body durability it didn't hurt to much, but what came next did. Keith rushed in and delivered a clean cut on Mirror from his right shoulder to his left hip. Mirror's body started to dissolve into a black pony with insect wings, fangs, white eyes, a horn, with holes in the horn and legs, and a white cloth thing wrapped around its torso

"You'll pay for that" Mirror said in a buzzy tone. His wings started too buzz as he floated into the air "you'll pay, WITH YOUR LIFE!" Mirror held out his right hoof "LIFE STEEL!" Mirror shouted, a black lightning bolt shot down from the sky. The lightning bolt then made contact with Mirror's hoof and formed into a scythe. The pole of the scythe was pure black with a strange black mist coming off of it, making it seem as though it was made of shadows, and the blade was arced so even if you block the blade it still may hit you. Not only that but the blade was serrated.

"Match you thinking what I'm thinking?" Keith asked

"You make it sound like I'm not, let take that weapon for ourselves, Sir" Match said obviously sharing a love for weapons

Keith rushed Mirror, sword in hand going in for a horizontal cut on Mirror. Mirror did a flip over Keith and left a clean vertical cut on Keith's back. Keith fell to the floor as blood poured from his back "ouch that really hurt" Keith said as he picked himself up and dusted himself off.

"How are you not dead?" Mirror asked "This scythe has a highly deadly poison in it that should kill you in seconds"

"What? Me die? Because of a mere flesh wound Ha Ha Ha very funny now if you don't mind I'm gonna kill you now" Keith then vanished into thin air and reappeared behind Mirror. Keith brought his sword down on Mirror's back only to have it bounce off the strange white cloth around his torso. Mirror swung his scythe around his body cutting Keith across his chest again. Keith responded with a kick to Mirror's head sending him flying into a tree and cracking it. Mirror flew up brought the scythe over his head only to bring it down where Keith was. Keith was lucky and rolled out of the way just in time and countered with a fireball aim for Mirror. Mirror staggered back only for him to point the scythe at Keith and fire a black lightning bolt from the scythe. The lightning bolt hit Keith square in the chest, he was sent back flying. It didn't help how he was crashing through multiple trees. Finally Keith came to a stop, he stood up and observed himself, he was battered and bruised, he had multiple cuts on him, even more if you count his dizziness causing him to hallucinate.

"Sir are you all right?" Match asked

"Yup just peach..." Keith coughed up some blood and fell to the floor, as he looked up he noticed a black figure walking slowly torwards him, and said figure had a nasty looking scythe. "Hey Match if I don't make it out of this alive..."

"Don't say such lies Sir, you have loved ones to go back too, and I am not about to, no I will not let you die yet"

"What are you say..." Keith was cut off due to the fact he felt a strange surge go through him "THROUGH FIRES, AS DANGEROUS AS A DEMON ITSELF, I CALL UPON THY WINGED GUARDIAN OF FLAMES, THE ONE OF ETERNAL YOUTH, PHOENIX!!!" Keith chanted

In the middle of this Mirror stopped and waited for the right moment to strike, that moment was now. Mirror rushed forward ready to slice Keith in half only to be blasted back by an inferno that erupted from where Keith had been, but upon further inspection of the flaming pillar Keith stood in the center of it. Keith's sword has vanished and what replaced it was two claw gauntlets, a pair of talon'd boots that molded to the feet, flaming eyes, and two grand flaming wings made of fire "Mirror, I have something worth living for and you will not stop me from returning to them, today you fall" as Keith spoke the words were clear as day itself but they all also cut like a dagger from the sharpness of his words, it sent a shiver down Mirror's spine. Keith dashed forward and slashed at Mirror, Mirror only had enough time to raise his scythe to block. Mirror tried to put distance between him and Keith. Unfortunately for Mirror, Keith dashed forward and closed the distance between them and delivered a powerful kick to Mirror's side. Mirror couldn't block in time so all he could do was brace himself, Mirror took the kick. Not only did it hurt like hell but it left crack all over his natural armor. Keith was relentless, he vanished with blinding speed, and reappeared over Mirror to deliver a powerful drop kick on Mirror's head. Mirror did not see this coming.

-------off in the distance-------

Twilight with the help off Frost had put out the fire, not to long after Twilight, Zecora, and Frost felt the earth rumble, then a flaming pillar exploded into the sky, not too long after the pillar disappeared, the. A few seconds the flaming puller was replaced by a large pillar of dust "Something has happened to them I need to get to them" Frost said then took off forwards the explosion

-------back with Keith-------

Keith stood over Mirror who was barley conscious. "I hope you ready to die Mirror" Keith picked up Mirror by the throat and squeezed, Mirror's scythe had been discarded off to the side not to long ago. Finally Mirror had passed out due to the pain and lack of air. Keith tossed Mirror to the side, walked over to Mirror's scythe and picked it up. Suddenly Keith was onslaught by the shadows and darkness

"YOU HAVE DEFEATED MY WIELDER TAKE ME AS YOU OWN, YOU MAY NOW CALL UPON ME AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT"

"The fuck, who are you"

"I am the spirit that resides in the weapon, but you may call me Dusk"

"Okay Dusk it's an honor to have a new addition to the family"

"No, it's a honor to be here with you, Master"

"Damn it not another one"

"What?"

"Nothing but what do we do about him?" Keith asked

"Do what about who?" Frost asked then looked to the changeling then back to Keith who was wearing red gauntlets, talon'd boots, flaming wings, and wielding a rather nasty looking scythe "Master what's going on here?"

"I think it will be better if I show you Match, Dusk" as Keith finished his sentence the weapons he was holding/wearing vanished, and two mist seeped from Keith a red one and a black one, which made Frost curious. The red Mist formed into Match, while the black mist started to form the outline of a pony, when the mist dissipated Match came and landed on Keith's shoulder while a black unicorn mare without a cutie mark, and a flowing mane that was formed by the shadows themselves.

"Hello everyone I am Dusk, I'm a shadowling" Dusk said in a soft tone

"This is Match the Phoenix, and this is Frost the Windago, these two are not only my pets but my most trusted friends"

"Hello" Match spoke

"Hey" Frost said but just glared at Dusk

"Well Dusk is it okay if I ask you a few questions?"

"Of course Master"

"Do you know anything about where Boss is or anything related to him?"

"I'm afraid not Master but can I tell you something that I haven't had the chance to tell anyone else?"

"Of course, your part of the family now"

"See that scum over there" she pointed to Mirror "please don't kill him despite his actions I still owe him a favor, a life for a life if you might say that" I understand but when he wakes up I'm gonna. Eat the ever living shit outta him for trying to fuck up my life"

"Actually he did, Luna is with her sister crying her heart out, Precise Shot is mourning but doing guard duty at the palace, and Rarity is at her house crying her head off, all because of what he has done"

"How do you know all this?"

"I control the shadows, in fact I can see all three of them right now, honestly it's a bit heartbreaking"

"Dusk with your powers can a teleport through the shadows?"

"Yes you can also control the shadows to make them bend to your will, the scythe that you now have is indestructible the serrated blade has been drenched in poison strong enough to kill a manticore in mere seconds. Also you can become a shadow yourself anytime you wish"

"Well that's pretty cool but I have a problem that needs to get solved soon so lets go" Keith said urgently. Match, Frost, and Dusk all nodded, then they formed into there respective mist and flowed into Keith

"Dusk how do I teleport through shadows?"

"You step into a shadow like you normally would and then imagine where you wish to go"

"Alright let's try this" Keith walked under a shadow of a a tree and imagined Rarity's parlor

"One more thing and I probably should have mentioned this only you, Frost, and Match can hear me"

"What" was all Keith could say before he vanished into the shadows

Redemption Ch. 8

"Oops almost forgot" Keith raised his hands I front of him, and focused on the piece of shit he left in the forest, and right before his eyes Mirror rose from the shadows then plopped over like a rag doll. "Rarity are you hear?" Keith called out to no one beside a crying noise from upstairs. Keith grabbed Mirror by the horn and dragged him up the stairs making sure he hit every step of the way. Keith approached a twin door and lightly knocked.

"Wh-Who is it?" A sniffle came from behind the door. Keith being logical kicked open the door and threw the unconscious changeling in the room "WHAT ARE DOING YOU PEACE OF SHIT, GET OUT!" Rarity yelled

"Now before you freak out let me explain" Keith tried to reason

"NO GET OUT" Rarity started to levitate Keith to a window

"It was the changelings fault, he is the one who did all those awful things to you, Ranger, and Luna, I'm sorry, please hear me out for two minutes"

"... Fine, but only two minutes"

Keith then explained what happened "And after that I came here to try to explain things" Keith then took a huge gulp of air "and that's what happened"

"Well I'm still a little aggravated that you were knocked unconscious by this ruffian" Rarity said

"Well do you forgive me?"

"Yes I suppose so as long as you call in that favor soon" Rarity said with a wink "now get going, you still have two more mares to apologize to

"*Groan* What happened?" Was all Mirror could say before he was knocked unconscious by a heavy kick to the head. Keith grabbed Mirror by the horn then faded into the shadows.

-------Front door to the palace-------

Ranger was back on her night duty after Keith's betrayal and the moon directly above her head, and thanks to her helmet no one can see her tears. Also that since the moon was above her head it was casting a shadow directly below her. Keith was hidden in said shadow "Are you sure this is her?" Keith asked

"One hundred percent Master" Frost said

"Okay, I trust you" Keith burst out from the bat pony's shadow

"AAAHHHHHH" the bat pony screamed "Who are and..." The bat pony stared at Keith "what are you doing here?" Asked the bat pony who raised it's spear

"Just here me out Precise, I know you think it was me who did all those thing, but it was this changeling" a still unconscious changeling rose from the shadows "you have to believe me that it wasn't me, you know me and I would never hurt you, I'm sorry I wasn't there but it happened just last night. I was knocked unconscious when I went into the ally way to take a piss. Then I was left I. The Everfree Forest to die, I had to fight a double of me, and a hoard of manticores just to be here and try to explain myself, so again please forgive me"

The bat pony removed it's helmet, and revealed a saddened Ranger "H-How do I know your telling the truth?" Ranger asked shedding a few tears

"Use the memory check spell, I know you know it, I fact I know your the one who taught Twilight"

"Fine but if your lying I'm gonna stab you through the heart"

"Try me" and with that Ranger cast the spell and went through the memories of the day

"Your telling the truth, I-I didn't want to believe it and now I don't have to, I'm glad your back, but to tell you the truth you were kinda studied for not checking around you before taking your piss" Ranger shed a few more tears then pounced on Keith, kissing him which he accepted in full

"By the way you left these at Rarity's and I figured you might want the, back" Keith pulled out a white cloak, and two hoof bows

"Thank you" Ranger removed the armor and replace it with the delivered items "now let's go speak to Luna"

"Sure but lets fly" Keith started to approach Ranger

"Keith what are you..." Keith grabbed Ranger and then picked up Mirror by the tail. Keith then opened his wings and took off to the throne room.

-------Throne room------

Celestia has taken the night shift tonight because of Luna's fall through with Keith "I swear next time I see that piece of shit I'm gonna..." Celestia was cut short as a black blur smashed through the window Keith had smashed a while ago, and had just been fixed, right before her eyes. Then right after the first blur a blue and white one followed it, and revealed to be A changeling, Keith, and Ranger "YOU!!!" Celestia yelled in her royal Canterlot voice, and in her rage picked up Keith and slammed him into the wall behind him with a burst of magic "What do you think you are doing here, you are no longer welcome here, so leave before I have your head!" Celestia threatened

"3 things. 1. Cool your tits 2. I have an explanation as to why I am here and 3. This reminds me of when me an Luna first met. I hurt you she burst through a wall, slams me against a wall 3 times over, ah good memories" Keith spoke nonchalantly trying to recall "fond" memories

"How dare you use my sisters name so lightly, it is Princess Luna to you, and you best remember it because if you don't, I'll send you to the sun"

"Whatever you say hot head, now are you gonna listen to my explanation or not"

"Nay, I shall not, Guards" Celestia called out and a squad of ten guards came rushing through the door and pointing spears at Keith.

"Ah ah ah, your not allowed to do that because when I was over at Twilight's a while back a read up on equestrian laws, and according to sub paragraph 7 section 2 page 327 you must listen to all complaints and explanations if defendant, me, is trying to reason with the accuser, you, if a fair hearing is not provided by the first said sister, you again, the said sister will step down and the hearing will be dealt by from other said sister, Luna. Also according to paragraph 5, section 4, page 132, if said princess, you, shall assault a(n) unarmed citizen of equestria, me, the said princess, must be subdued by the royal guards, you gentlemen, until other sister can determine or assess the situation directly. So as a citizen of Ponyville, Equestria I, as a citizen place you princess under arrest." Keith pulled out a book and tossed it to the guards feet "since your all royal guards I am assuming you already know these laws, as well as Celestia considering she is the one who wrote them"

"Yes we do know them, and we know that you are indeed correct, guards restrain the princess" the leader of the platoon spoke his command

"Sir" all of them saluted, and placed a magic ring on her horn to stop the flow of magic, wing restrains to stop flying, and cuffs to prevent moving in general

"I'm sorry I had to use a clean trick, I know it's not me but I need to speak to Luna" Keith whispered to the fuming Celestia, who was trying with all her might to incinerate Keith. A few minutes have passed and finally a blue alicorn walked into the room with her eyes closed and sat at the throne with practice graced

"Who is thy and what is thou complaint?" Luna asked in old... English? Yeah.

"Not a complaint an explanation, and you can't leave due to the law" Keith added the last part quickly

Luna's eyes snapped open and revealed 2 puffy red, sad, angry, blue eyes "well then explain I do not have all night"

"First of all nice pun, secondly it wasn't me in Ponyville today it was this ass pretending to be me, just to ruin my life" Keith held up the black and white changeling, and if you don't believe me then use a spell to check my memories, and I am sorry for not being there, well I was there but I wasn't I mean the changeling was there and I was in the Forest, fighting manticores, and this fuck" Keith kicked the changeling over to Luna's feet "after I tracked his ass down, beat his ass for potentially ruining my life, and took the best thing in his life, Dusk and the power she gave me for saving her from him, apologized with Rarity, made amens with Ranger here, got you sister arrested, now I'm here trying to fix what that ass has done" Keith pointed to Mirror "so that been my day how's yours going?"

"That was a rather poorly put together explanation" Luna commented

"Well sorry, I had to throw it together, with very little time to think on what to say to make you believe me"

"Good"

"Okay let me start by saying that... Wait what?" Keith asked dumbfounded

"I said "good" this is really the Keith I know, only he could put something so good together on the fly, I believe you and I'm glad your safe, but as a consequence for being stupid your going to have to... Have me spend the rest of your days with you Rarity, and Ranger"

"Again... Wait what?"

Ranger walked up toke it hand whispered "she wants to be apart of our heard, Keith"

Keith looked over at the still pissed, restrained alicorn that was now shaking her head left to right, as if to warn Keith "Luna I would be honored" Keith smiled

The midnight blue alicorn squealed and rushed over to Keith. Luna then tackled him "I promise I will be there to love you and watch over your dreams whenever you need me"

"Ah but here's the funny thing about love, I will always need you" Keith grabbed Luna and kissed her. Then Keith pulled Ranger close to him by her shadow and kissed her too "and you too, all of you"

"So Keith what do we do about him?" Ranger asked

"Who Mirror? I say we make it so the only way he can feed is if he has a true friend who is willing to allow him love. Oh by the way I won't be pressing any charges so you can let her go now" the guards removed the shackles and left "ah don't you love the law"

"I hate you but you better take care of my sister Keith, just so you there know I want lots of nieces and nephews" Celestia spoke

Keith choked on his own saliva, while Luna and Ranger giggled "oh everyone there is someone I want you all to meet, Dusk, Frost, Match"

"Who is Dusk?" Ranger asked, as two familiar mists and a a new mist seeped from Keith's body

"As you know Frost is a Windago, Match is a Phoenix, and Dusk, well Dusk is a Shadowling" Keith finished as Dusk, Match, and Frost formed from their respective mists

Luna jumped back at the sight of the shadowling. Then Luna's and Celestia's horns lit up, and a moment later a black and white beam of magic was sent directly toward Dusk. Keith saw this and called upon Match "IGNITE" instead of Match forming back into the mist he straight up morphed into the sword. Keith grabbed the sword with both hands, spun around, and pointed the tip of the sword at the beam planning to slice it in half but was only being pushed back. Next Keith called upon Frost "FLASH-FREEZE" Frost turned into hermits and coated Keith's right hand. The mist disappeared to reveal the glove. Then ten ice needles burst from the now ice covered ground. Then Keith launched all ten at the beam. Luna and Celestia had noticed that the beam hadn't connected, but was oblivious as to why.

Keith stood his ground, and was not being pushed back anymore. The beam was slamming harder on him than ever before "Damn it I need more power" Keith swore, then an idea came to his mind. Keith unfurled his wings and started to pour his remaining energy into his wings. Finally Keith placed the tip of his wings right next to the tip of his sword, and let loose the energy. His wings emitted static, then a blinding lightning beam was launched from his wings. The two beam canceled each other out. Keith fell to the on a knee "whats the matter with both of you!? Why are to trying to harm Dusk, she is friendly and the one I wanted you to meet, not attack!" Keith yelled at Celestia and Luna

"You don't understand Keith, my people attacked Canterlot, about 500 years ago, so I can understand why they are mad." Dusk spoke up "Keith can you tell them I mean them no harm"

"She said she isn't here to cause trouble, and if it means anything to you both she was abused by Mirror over there"

"Hear me now Shadowling if you cause any trouble, any trouble at all I won't hesitate to finish you"

"Under-stood" and with that Keith dropped his sword and the needles clattered to the ground a long with Keith who has passed out"

Mission One Ch. 9

"Hi Keith wanna play a game?" Pinkie Pie asked Keith while jumping up and down on his stomach. Keith is currently at Rarity's getting some much needed R&R before his first ever mission.

------Flashback------

Keith had just woken up from over excessive energy use in the Canterlot Hospital, and was unpleasant to see that he was naked, again. "Ah Keith, it's good to know that your awake, now I have a surprise for you" Celestia sang in a cheerful mood

"I swear to... Are you the technical god of Equestria?"

"Yes"

"I swear to the mother of you that if you say Pinkie Pie I'll kill you, if you say aspirin I'll kiss you because I have a mind splitting headache right now"

"I do have have some pain medicine for you, and I'll pass on the kiss"

"Thank Celes..." Keith stared at Celestia who stared right back "Thank Luna, If actually kissed you there would be no end to the pain and suffering that would come from that. Now give me the pain reliever shit you call medicine." Keith grabbed the presented pills, which was three, and downed all of them at once

"Would you like some water with those pills?" Celestia asked curiously

"Well considering I haven't had water or food for who knows how long... Give me" Keith downed the glass of water that had also been presented "oh shit Match, Frost, Dusk"

Keith's pets appeared I front of him "Yes Master/Sir" all three responded in sync

"Okay first off weird, second of all you all need a break and some food. Sorry I'm use to not eating for weeks at a time so food slipped the mind. You all go to the Everfree Forest and hunt you some food"

"No thank you but were all fine Master" Frost said

"Bullshit, Match I know for a fact you need meat everyday, Frost I Know that you need meat in your diet, and I'm pretty fucking sure you eat meat Dusk"

"True" they all said I'm sync

"Now get going before you all starve too" Keith watch his three pets fly through the open window towards the Everfree.

"Now that, that's out of the way time for your first mission"

"Mission?"

"Yes mission, you mission is to escort Twilight from Ponyville to the old castle in the Everfree and escort her back safely, you team will consist of Lieutenant Ace, Lieutenant Time, and Private Precise. I suggest you go get some rest in Ponyville before you set out and take the Lieutenants with you, they are starting to give me a headache."

"Understood, by the way do you have any clothes for me, mine seem to keep on being eradicated"

"You have you necklace, use it, what am I your mother?" Celestia strutted

"Well you are the daughter of the creator of this world so technically your my aunt"

"What"

"Nothing, blast me with some magic please"

"Alright but if you die don't blame me"

"Damn you saw through my scheme" Celestia then blasted Keith with raw magic which the necklace absorbed. The necklace formed a white tee shirt, white basketball shorts, white socks, and a white pair of running shoes on Keith. Keith picked up a mirror and checked himself out "yup still sexy, alright thank, bye Celestia, tell Luna I said good morning" and with that Keith jumped out the window.

Keith felt the wind rush by his face as he free fell, slowly Keith spread out his wings and started to fly to Ponyville.

---------Flashback end---------

"Pinkie Pie I'm sorry but no I'm tired and I still have a headache and the my first mission is in…" Keith looked at the clock on the wall, it is 10:00 pm "in an hour so please for the… fuck … I said no, so no, now let me sleep, wake me in an hour though, please"

"Okie Dokie Loki" Pinkie Pie said then exploded into confetti and was gone

"Fucking Pinkie Logic" Keith swore then fell back asleep

An hour passed and as Pinkie Pie is she kept to her word "WAKE UP SLEEPY HEAD!" Pinkie Pie yelled into Keith's ear

"Pinkie what the fuck!? If your trying to wake me up you gotta do better than whisper in my ear"

"Umm what… but it's time for your thingy, whatever it was"

"Thanks" Keith jumped out of the window and took off to the beginning of the trail that led to the old castle

-------the trail-------

"Hi Twilight how is your night going?" Ranger asked as Time, Ace, and herself arrived

"Pretty good except for the fact Keith is late" Twilight responded obviously annoyed

"Hey guys sorry I'm late but I had to pick someone up" Keith Keith crashed into the ground from the air and put two fingers in his mouth and whistled. All of a sudden a huge manticore came rushing at Keith from behind a building, tackle Keith, and lick him affectionately "Calm down Tom, Were on a schedule, Kneel" Tom obeyed "everypony on"

Ranger hopped on, then Ace, then Time, then Twilight "Umm Keith are you sure this is safe" Twilight asked holding onto the manticore for dear life even though it wasn't moving

"Twilight… have I… Keith… ever been know to be safe?"

"Well how should I know"

"Exactly, No, YA Tom" Keith tapped his heels on Tom and they were off. About half way into their ride Keith noticed something of a blue glint off in the distance "Woah" Tom came to a complete stop "Match, anything on thermal"

"Negative Sir" Match spoke

"Frost anything on Night vision"

"Afraid so Master, a cloud of smoke seems to be coming this way at an increasingly fast pace, estimated arrival time 30 seconds" Frost warned

"Dusk can you determine what the fuck that thing is?"

"Yes I can, it's a shadowy mass like creature made of pure hatred, almost, almost like a nightmare" Dusk finished

Just then it clicked "Nightmare… Oh shit" Keith's eyes went wide as a familiar black black blob with two blue slitted eyes stopped before Keith and the others

"Well well what do we have here" Nightmare said to itself "Seems as though we have some trespassers. What do we do with trespassers? Simple we kill them and take there dreams and turn them into NIGHTMARES" Nightmare spoke with three separate voices into one voice "Ah it also seems as though we have the one who eluded us the first time because of those accursed elements"

"Enough talk, what do you want, you bucking blob" Ace demanded

"All of you" Nightmare then in all it gelatinous gunk splashed onto Twilight, Ranger, Ace, Time, and Keith yet it purposely avoided Tom for whatever reason and instead pinned him to the ground. Now all of them were floating inside the blob. Then the next thing each of them knew, Twilight was in Canterlot. Ace was in Foal school. Time was in a empty void that had lost time and was just space. Ranger was in a mansion inside her room as her younger self. And Keith was in a dark dull depressing room with a light shining in his face, as Keith tried to move the light his arms were pinned down and strapped to his sides, and his legs were strapped down as well

------Canterlot------

"How did I end up here?" Twilight asked

"Relax and allow me to help"

"Who was that!?" Twilight shouted to the empty streets

"Precisely "WHO" I am logic, the strongest form of you" Logic then formed into an almost exact copy of Twilight, the almost happened to be a darker coat than hers, and deep dark black eyes "allow me to help you, with me, we can escape" Logic whispered in Twilight's ear

"No my friends need me... I need to get to them"

"Ah but Twilight my dear use my power and let us escape this nightmare"

"There is no nightmare here Logic"

"Fine then I guess I'll let the nightmare go now" Logic faded out and before Twilight the town of Canterlot burst into a flames, but what caught Twilight's attention is two ponies that were slowly crawling towards her on fire

"MOM, DAD" Twilight tried to run to them but before she could her parents skin melted from their bodies and withered into ash. Twilight approached the ashes and started to cry "Make it stop, make it stop, MAKE IT STOP!!!" Twilight shouted

"As you wish, allow logic into your mind where you're emotions will cease to exist"

"Fine, JUST MAKE IT STOP!!!" The world faded around Twilight

------Everfree Forest------

Twilight awoke and shook her head to dislodge her confusion "My observation leads me to believe that I am in the Everfree" Twilight spoke in a monotone voice

------Foal School------

"Mrs. Blossom, Ace started it" a young bat pony foal told the school nurse who was currently cleaning a cut on the boy's head

"That is so not true. You started it you piece of shit!" A young Ace yelled at Ghoul (the bat pony)

"That is enough of both of you, Ace you watch your tongue young man, and as for you Ghoul I'm calling your parents for starting this whole thing"

"What do you mean, I didn't do anything he is the one who..." Ghoul was cut off

"Quiet." Ghoul's mouth instantly shut out of fear for disrespecting the nurse " now I saw the whole thing unfold. Ghoul you started it by mocking Ace because his lack of parents. Then, Ace you bucked Ghoul here quite hard right in the noggin. Then not only did you give him a concussion , but you also gave him a cracked skull"

"Umm Mrs. Blossom what will happen to..." Ghoul started but then fell with blood now gushing from where Ace had kicked

"Ghoul!" Ace shouted and ran over to the Foal while the nurse just sat there and watch "Ghoul, Ghoul, GHOUL!!!" Ace shouted. Then the nurse spoke

"Your first time killing another, I presume?"

"W-Who are you?" Ace asked

"Why little ole me, Why I am your Sorrow, and Regret, I am Depression, and by only through depression can you escape"

"Escape? Escape what, I have nothing to run from"

"Ah but you do, in fact you have, you have been running" Depression leaned down to Ace's ear and whispered "You have been running from me your whole life" Depression shed the nurse skin and revealed a black haze that morphed into the full grown Ace, just more black

"N-No I... I..."

"Face it, take your depression, Take it all, You won't be able to hold it all unless you let it out, come on

"N-No"

"Come on, do it. There is nothing to be afraid of, it'll be all o.k."

"I... I..."

"Come on you almost got it"

"I... I... Okay"

Depression laughed maniacally and engulfed young Ace with a black smoke "Fool"

------Everfree Forest------

"Man that was a bad nap, oh great, is that you Logic" Depression asked in a rather well... Depressed tone

"Quite observitive, more so than usual" Logic spoke in a monotone voice

------empty void------

"Umm where am I?" Time asked in a confused tone

"Why Bro, don't ya know? We're in the void, where it deprived of all sense of time" a Stallion appeared before Time. The stallion looked exactly like Time just darker but spoke with a hyper tone

"Oh Celestia, what do you want Trickster?" Time asked with a annoyed tone

"T'aint simple yet bra, I want your body, easy as that"

"Sorry I told you once and I'll tell you again, NO"

"Sorry bra but you no longer have time on your side, now it's time for the Trickster to come out and play" Trickster jumped on Time and engulfed him in a large pink ribbon

------Everfree Forest------

"Hey my Bro Depression, and my Bra Logic how's it been going?

"Fine" Logic said

"Shitty" Depression said

------Mansion Bedroom------

"You are going the perfect angel I always wanted you to be, despite you're lack of wings, I have raised you to be perfect, now suck it up you garbage and get down stairs" with that Precise's pegasus mother walked out of the room and slammed the door

"I-I'm sorry I couldn't live up to you mom, but I don't belong here, and you don't love me, so why do you keep me?" Precise Shot sat on her bed in tears with a beautiful white dress right next to her

"I can change that for you if you want"

"Who said that?" Precise asked

"Why you did of course" a fully grown mare fluttered down from the sky that looked exactly like Ranger except with wings

"Who are you?"

"Why I'm you of course just the you, you always wanted to be"

"I am glad I have my magic and I would never change" Ranger said determined

"Not even for you're mother's love, think about it. If you were this" the pegasus gestured to itself "she and everyone else would love, and you would be able to fly with one you love"

"SHUT UP, I asked who are you not any of that"

"Fine, you can call me, Screech"

"What do you want?"

"Relax I'm only here to help you, after all I am you" Screech said

"I don't need you're help I only need to be my mother's angel tonight, and then she'll love me" Ranger defended

"Ah but why only tonight when I can make it everyday" Screech came closer to Ranger

"Y-You can?"

"Yes, I Can" Screech whispered

"... Okay, make me my mother's angel please"

"As you wish" Screech let out a mind shattering wail that knocked out Ranger "Fool" Screech then engulfed Ranger in a demonic shadow

-----Everfree Forest-----

"Dang this girl has some serious issues" Ranger spoke in a rather odd tone almost as if two voices at once

"Hey bra whats up? Dang girl those wings complement that coat you got on" Trickster yelled

Ranger looked at her body pleased to find a new set of wings and a lack of a horn "Perfect"

"Hello Screech" Logic spoke

"Hey logic how have you been?" Screech asked

"Fine"

"... Still anti-social I see, how are you doing Depression?" Screech asked

"Terrible" Depression spoke

"Well that's nothing new, so what do we do about him?" Screech asked pointing to Keith

"We wait" Logic said

"Who died and made you leader?" Screech asked

"Logic is always the best choice"

"Fine, whatever"

------Dark Dungeon-----

"Let me go" Keith spoke to the assailants

"Why would we do that when we can do this" the shady figure walked over to a lever on the wall, and pulled it. The lever sent electricity bursting through Keith

"AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Keith yelled

"Hmm I do believe you're getting weaker"

"Go to hell, where are my friends?"

"Friends? You don't have any friends here, thing"

"The name is Keith not Thing... Wait why does place feel familiar?"

"It should, you blew it up the first time"

"N-No it can't be"

"Hello Keith I am Doctor James and your new care taker, I'm sure we'll get along just fine" Dr. James went over to a different lever and pull it. A large needle descended from the ceiling and was pointed at Keith

"No" Keith whispered

"Your all alone now" the came closer

"No" Keith spoke louder

"And no one will ever find you here" the needle was a inch away from his eye"

"I SAID NO!!! FROST" the needle was now a hair width away "LET THOSE WHO DESTROY LIFE BE PUNISHED BY THE HOWLING WINDS OF DEATH, WINDAGO. FLASH-FREEZE" Ten needles burst from the now frozen ground. The needles launched themselves at the restraints and burst Keith free "Combine" the needles smashed themselves together. As Keith grabbed the clump of ice with both hands. He shattered it and in his hand were two daggers that would flow and strike like the wind "Die You Piece Of Shit" A blue aura burst from Keith and formed into a pillar of blue light.

"Wh-What are you doing you shouldn't be able to access you're magic in here!"

"Well you Piece of Shit, little Did you Know I Have the Strongest magic In existence"

"P-Please spare me" Dr. James fell on his ass pleading, and backing into a corner

"No, NOW DIE!" Keith raised his right knife over his head then threw it forward launching the knife at Dr. James. The knife stuck in Dr. James's shoulder. His shoulder had frozen over then shattered into a million pieces. The knife Keith had threw launched back at Keith. Keith then caught it, rushed Dr. James, and stabbed both knifes into his chest. "I'm not done with you yet!" Keith yelled "ONSLAUGHT" Eight more Daggers launched from Keith's back "BLIZZARD" Keith's eyes started to leak ice magic, his eyes were now completely frost blue and a current of steam flowed from them. Then Keith started to spin on one foot, the daggers flowed suit and spun with Keith only to have ice spin around him. The more Keith spun the larger it became eventually the blizzard of ice had reached Dr. James and begun to shred his skin from his body, then his muscles, then his organs, and finally shattering his skeleton. Dr. James blood stained the blizzard red. "I destroyed this place one and damn it I'll do it again, ANTARCTIC" the blizzard stopped, and Keith kneeled and sent his ten daggers to ten diffrent spots in to room. A rune had formed in the room.

The room begun to shake, and from the rune ice shot out of it and covered the walls, floors, ceilings, hallways, the entire place had frozen over, if you were outside you could have seen a giant ice fortress in the middle of a desert. "Now all that's left is to get out of here. Frost, Match, Dusk." Keith's three friends formed in front of him not saying anything. Keith then tackled all three of them "Thank Celestia, I'm not alone" that time Keith had shed only a single tear. "What do you say we get out of here"

"Master, who do you propose we do that?" Dusk spoke

"Trinity"

"Sir, you can't be serious, that can kill you" Match argued

"Well then I guess we only got one shot huh?" Keith said with a smile

"You're a fool, but your our fool Master" Frost spoke happily

"Match, Dusk, Frost, take your positions, were gonna burst from this god forsaken' place." His three friends had taken a their places in three evenly divided spots around the room "Divided We Stand Strong, Through the darkness of night,-" a Glowing black chiral formed around Dusk "-Through The Flames Of Hell,-" a red glowing circle formed around Match "-And Through Ice Thick And Thin-" a blue circle formed around Frost "-We Stand Together To Triumph Over All." a yellow ring formed around Keith "TRINITY!!!" Match, Dusk, and Frost turned into glowing orbs inside their circles. The orbs launched themselves at Keith, yet when they made contact they sunk into Keith. Keith's eyes had a rainbow aura surrounding them "TOGETHER, TOGETHER WE ALL BREAK FREE FROM THIS PRISON, EXPLOSION!!!"

A Fight for Friends Ch. 10

Trickster, Logic, Depression, and Screech all sat in a circle around Keith's motionless body. Then he started to stir which made Trickster happy because he was bored. "Finally, this guy is a heavy sleeper" the four surrounding him stood up.

"Welcome back Dr. James" Screech spoke

Keith stir one more time, and landed on his back. All of a sudden a blue, yellow, red, and black beam shot up into the sky where Keith was. Screech was blasted back into Logic who both went tumbling into a tree, Trickster was blasted back into a conveniently placed pillow, Depression just took the blast with a gloomy face. Then Keith yelled. "I WONT LOSE TO THE LIKES OF YOU!!! TRINITY!!!!!!" The ray of light disappeared from the sky and stood a glowing Keith his eyes were now wide open and a blue, red, and black pupils stood in a triangle fashion around his center yellow pupils

"Hey bro be careful, YOU COULD HAVE HURT SOMEBODY" Trickster laughed and pulled out two short swords and rushed Keith. Keith reacted by jumping over a cross slash that was deceived by Trickster, and landing on both of the tips of the blades with one foot. Then Keith brought his other foot around to kick Trickster in the head and possibly knock him out, but Trickster opened his mouth and slammed it shut over Keith's ankle. Keith grunted in pain and followed through with the kick pushing Trickster's head down. Trickster's head slammed into the ground leaving a crater and a dust cloud. Keith stood up and looked around and noticed Ace sitting behind, "Ace thank Celestia do you have any idea why Time attacked me, and why he seemed so care free?"

Depression stood up on his hind legs brought his right hoof back then slammed it into Keith's stomach with incredible force, sending him back sliding on his feet, until he fell over something, and landed on his back. Keith raised his head and saw a purple set of saddle bags with a red crystal poking out of it, and if by instinct he knew what they were 'the element of Harmony? What are they doing out here. Whatever, they'll help me solve what's going on here.' Keith tucked his knees to his chest and pushed off the ground with his hands launching himself onto his feet. Then Keith ran to the bags, reached inside, and pulled out the element of loyalty. Also apparently Twilight never put the crystals back into the necklaces and tiara so Keith pulled out the belt from a while ago. Keith quickly took his off and replaced it with the belt of Loyalty. The crystal pulsed with a vibrant red light. Keith then reached into the bag and pulled out the two bracelets and anklets, and quickly put them on. Then for the finishing touch Keith pulled out the crown and placed it atop his head. The crystals pulsed with their respective colors.

"Honesty" Keith spoke then his eyes flashed orange and looked at his friends, but instead of seeing them he saw their auras shrouded by massive red auras "Sweet, they aren't them right now, now I get to beat their asses again" Keith cracked his knuckles, then his neck "So, who is gonna be first"

"You got a cheap shot on me bro, I want revenge" Trickster stood up, and pointed his swords at Keith. Trickster then vanished from Keith's view, but Keith was smarter

"IGNITE" Keith put his hand over shoulder as though drawing a sword from a sheath, and in his hand appeared his sword just in the nick of time as it clashed with Trickster's blades. Keith then spun around to slash at Trickster, only to find that he wasn't there

"You gotta be faster than that man" Trickster flashed into view right next to Keith, and swiped his legs from beneath him. Keith fell to the ground, and rolled away just in time to dodge two swords firmly slammed into the ground where his head used to be. Keith then jumped to his feet

"Magic" Keith held up his sword as a bolt of lightning struck it. The electricity flowed through his body. Keith was the lightning as he flashed forwards at Trickster who barely managed to block a heavy overhead swing delivered by Keith. Finally the two begun to hack and slash at each other, but no one made any headway on the other.

Keith had an idea. Keith raised his sword and pointed it to the sky, then begun to bring it all the way to the ground. In doing so Keith created an arc slash and sent a towering wave of flames at Trickster.

Trickster did not see this coming and was blasted back through several layers of trees. At last Trickster came to a stop after the the fifty something-ith tree. All Trickster could see was a pink blur racing towards him. Then he heard it "KINDNESS" his skull was grabbed and then everything went dark.

Time opened his eyes to see a panting Keith right in front of him with glowing orange eyes, and holding his head with one hand "Umm Keith if I may ask, what in the world are you doing?" Then he noticed the new bling Keith had acquired "Also, why are you wearing the Elements of Harmony?"

"No time to explain, lets just put it simply, everyone has gone ape shit crazy, follow me"

"*Sigh* Yes sir" Time and Keith then ran in the direction of where the other three still hopefully were.

-------Elsewhere-------

"Logic, shall Depression, and I stay here and keep are guest company while you go and eliminate the other Elements of Harmony?" Screech asked

"Most sensible of you Screech, it would be wise to have as much time as possible. Even if neither of you survived you have helped Equestrian Restart Program's cause" with that Logic teleported away, unfortunately yet fortunately she was unaware of another suitor for the Elements of Harmony

-----Back with Keith and Time-----

"So you're telling me that the Elements work for you and that's how you pulled me out of my funk?" Time asked

"Precisely" Keith replied "Ah-Ha we finally found you!" Keith shouted and pointed at the ponies sitting before them

"How could you have found us if we never hid in the first place?" Depression spoke

"See Time, dudes fucking depressed, and he throws a mean punch" Keith exaggerated

"Don't worry about him, I'll take care of him, you worry about your mare over there" Time assured Keith

"Huh? A tag team battle eh? Who would have guessed?" Screech spoke

"Hey birdie, let's see how well you fly." With that Keith launched himself in the air with Screech right on his tail

"Well Ace it looks like were all alone" Time spoke softly as slowly walked towards Depression

"Ace no longer exists, it is only I, Depression" Depression spoke glumly

"Oh-Ho "Depression" you say, well let's fix that shall we?" Time's horn lit up and a black orb formed around a confused Depression, and a demonically smilling Time

Keith block a blow from Screech and right after heard the most little girlish scream he had ever heard in his life come from the black dome on the ground 'hey everyone should I go check that out?' Keith asked his companions in his head while effortlessly blocking blows from Screech with one hand

'DO NOT GO IN THERE KEITH' Dusk shouted inside Keith's head

'Ow, Why?'

'I have seen some messed up shit in my life but this is something even words can't explain'

"Alright I get it, now were where we?" Keith asked out loud

'We were about to win Master' Frost thought

"Oh yeah, that's right. FROSTBITE." ten daggers shot out from Keith's back and flashed in on Screech's neck.

Screech flapped in place as ten daggers were pointed at her neck "Fuck me"

Keith flew in her face "Is that an offer? Also, MELT. KINDNESS." The daggers disappeared and before Screech could fly away Keith grabbed her wings with glowing pink hands.

Screech could feel her wings disappearing so as a final effort she opened up her mouth and sent a high pitched screech right in Keith's face. When she closed her mouth she had a smile but it instantly dropped to a frown "How in the hell did you survive that!?" Screech shouted

"I have a unique special ability that took me my entire life to master"

"And what's that?" She asked finally her wings vanished and she started to feel a sharp pain go through her head

"SELECTIVE HEARING" Keith spoke with a cocky smile

"Fuck you"

If your offering, my body is always ready" Keith spoke then winked

Finally Screech passed out and Keith caught her.

Then Ranger opened her eyes to see Keith smiling at her "Umm what happened and why are we flying?" Ranger asked

"No time to explain we gotta help Time" Keith flew down to the ground and placed Ranger on the place she found most comfortable. Keith started to run to the black dome but was tackled to the ground by a terrified, shaking, crying, Ace

"KEEP THAT LUNATIC AWAY FROM ME, oh hey Keith hey Precise, KEEP HIM AWAY" Ace then hid behind Ranger

"Oh stop whining you big baby all that was, was a million years of your worst nightmare, and you told me that if you ever became depressed again this is how I should deal with it" Time spoke as he disspelled the dome

"Fair enough" Ace responded immediately stopping his crying

"... Okay now that everyone has gotten that bit of stupid out of the way, where is Twilight?" Keith asked. At that exact same moment the others had horrified expressions on their faces

"Keith, the other Elements are in danger, we have to get to th..." Ranger begun only to be interrupted by an explosion that was in the direction of Ponyville.

Keith flipped his shit and transported everyone via shadows as close as they could get which was right in front of Twilight's Tree House "No No No No No No" Keith continued saying as he kicked open the flaming door "HELLO, IS ANYBODY IN HERE" Keith shouted inside the house. Keith heard a faint calling of his name, without a second though he rushed into the ablaze house, but before anybody could follow him the entrance collapsed

"KEITH!!!" Ranger shouted

Keith searched the first floor and hadn't found anything, anything that is until he saw a yellow tip of a wing on the opposite side of the room beneath burning wood. Keith rushed over to the pile, and began to move the large amount of rubble out of the way until he saw three ponies: Pinkie Pie, Applejack those two looked considerably better than poor Fluttershy who's wings where broken yet covering the other two also she had a large running along her flank to her shoulder "INFERNO" Keith ran over to the nearest wall and punched it with his gauntlets, completely obliterating it leaving a huge gap in the wall. Keith then ran over to AJ "Please don't hate me for this" Keith slapped her, instantly waking her up

"Keith! What's happening!? Where are we!?" She was silenced by another slap

"Shut up, take Pinkie Pie and get outta here, NOW!" Keith order and placed Pinkie on her back. Keith then walked over to Fluttershy and carefully picked her up and walked as fast as possible out of the house and placed her carefully next to a unconscious Pinkie, and a furious Applejack. Keith ran into the building again, "Is anybody else in here!?" Keith shouted. Then from the ceiling above a blue blue crashed through it and fell to the ground unconscious "RAINBOW DASH!!!" Keith then looked back up to block any other debris only to be horrified as he saw Twilight fire a bolt of magic at a scared Rarity. Time slowed down as he watched his love get struck with magic. Time speed back up as he watched Rarity get launched into the stairs, then fall down them. Finally she came to a stop at the bottom of the stairs. Keith picked up R.D. And rushed over to Rarity to pick her up, but was stopped as Rarity pushed away his hand.

"S-Stop Twilight, before it's to l-late, I-I will always love you Keith, always. Goodbye" With the magic She could muster she pushed Keith away from her as the roof above her fell on her.

Keith could only watch as she smiled at him before his world came to a stop. He could no longer see Rarity. He just sat there hands in lap with the cyan mare over his shoulder, and a empty look of despair plastered across his face "INFERNO!!!" Keith shot up and punched the falling pillar that was about to crouch him, the pillar exploded into splinters. Keith then jumped straight up and punched through the ceiling above into the second floor. He stood there face to face with Twilight.

Logic looked at Keith's emotionless face. 'I best give her back her body' Logic thought with a smile. Twilight opened her eyes to find herself flying through the air in Keith's arms. They hit the ground.

"YOU STAY HERE!!!" He yelled at Twilight then rushed back into the house. He reach the pile that fell on Rarity, and with a bat of a hand destroyed it. He picked up the battered and bruised, blood soaked Rarity, and walked outside obliterating anything that got in his way. He got outside just as the rest of the tree house caved in on itself. He placed Rarity on the ground, "SOMEONE, PLEASE CALL A DOCTOR" Keith screamed crying over Rarity's body.

A white and a black hoofs where place on his shoulders. Keith turned around, his eyes on fire both literally and metaphorically, and saw both the princesses looking down on him. "Keith, she is gone" Celestia spoke glumly

"No, NO, YOUR WRONG, SHE CAN BE SAVED" Keith continued to cry

"Princesses, what's going on here?" Twilight asked the two extremely confused

Keith stopped crying and sat there and let Twilight's voice echo in his head. The princesses couldn't act fast enough. As Keith placed Rarity on the ground after holding her deceased body one last time. Then out of nowhere Keith was right in Twilight's face. Keith punch Twilight out of blind rage. Twilight would have gone a lot farther if she did not crash into Applejack. "IT'S YOU'RE FAULT SHE IS GONE!!!" Keith shouted as though he was speaking with two voices. He launched himself at Twilight again only this time he pinned her down and began to wail on her

"Keith please stop" Twilight began to cry

After the fifth punch he was engulfed by white magic and flung off Twilight, and was pinned himself to the ground "Keith stop this at once" Celestia warned Keith "What right do you have to do such a horrible act to my student"

"SHE KILLED RARITY!!!" After those words went through everyones heads everything came to a stop. Celestia was so stunned by the turn of events that she lost focus on her magic and released Keith. Everyone just stood there stunned. Everyone except Keith who just stood up and began slowly walking to Celestia. He grabbed her by the horn, "were going to bury Rarity is that understood?"

"Understood" Celestia spoke shocked

Keith then turned to Twilight "Don't you dare talk to me until I find what the reason was behind this murder. Twilight nodded in fear. Then he turned to Luna "Dont take your sight off Twilight for even a moment, also Match, Frost, do a energy reading on Luna, were going to kill a Nightmare"

Whitetail Woods pt. 1 Ch.11

"Readings say that Nightmare is in The Whitetail Woods Master" Frost spoke

"Then that's where I'm headed" Keith said

"If I may ask how did you know that Nightmare originated from me?" Luna asked puzzled

"No offense but where else can a nightmare come from other than the night?" With that hanging in the air Keith spread his wings and took off. First Keith flew straight up. The town now only looking like a spec of dust. Then he stopped and started to dive bomb towards the ground below.

"With a heart of black and a hatred that transcends space and time. Grant me the dark powers of a Shadowling, PENUMBRA!!!" A lone orb of condensed shadows formed in Keith's right hand. Keith brought the orb to his mouth and whispered "Hear my command, Engulf." Keith was then surrounded by shadows. As Keith was falling a cone begun to form around him, a comet of shadows was now where Keith was, and because of this he broke the cone a little above the town resulting in a shockwave that pushed anything near, away. Then all you could see was a black line and then a black bullet smash into the ground, but when the shadows disappeared so did Keith.

"Please Keith, come back ok" Ranger spoke too no one

-----------Whitetail Woods-----------

"Master, were here" Dusk spoke

"Thank you, lets do this" Keith said as he rose from a shadow near an entrence near the Whitetail Woods.

"Are you sure you don't wish to get any close Master?"

"Yes I'm sure, just incase it's watching us, I wanna give it as much time to prepare as possible before I smash all it's efforts to stop me. Keith began to walk into the woods, but not before something caught his eye, he waked over to a bush and looked inside it "Hello old friend, how about you and me kill something" Keith picked it up and slung it over his back. Keith then walked into the woods.

"How much longer until we get there Sir?" Match complained

"Stop complaining we got at least another day hike ahead of us but if you want you and the girls can go run around" Keith told Match

Although Keith told him Match didn't have to ask why so Match, Frost, and Dusk appeared before him in their mist like fashion

"Well you three you go and do your own thing, you know were I'm headed. If I need you I'll call for you"

"Understood" all three of them said, then they took off

"Now back to the hike"

----20 minutes later----

Keith pushed through another thicket of trees only to stumble into a clearing, but not only that but an ear shattering scream reached him "The fuck?" Keith asked as he looked at the center of the clearing to see a pack of timberwolves surrounding a mare "Why do I always have to play hero when other can't protect themselves" Keith said annoyed.

Keith started to run to the mare's aid and about half way to the mare Keith yelled "hey you damn pieces of bark why bother with all that fur when you can have all this meat" Keith then gestured to himself as he was running.

The wolves decided Keith was right and turned away from the mare and started to rush him. Keith then came to a stop as the wolves circled him "Seven in total, huh? Alright let's kick some ass" a wolf leaped at him with it's jaw wide open. Keith then decided to unstrap his surprise that he was saving for Nightmare but whatever. He then jammed the barrel into it's mouth but not only the barrel but a blade that was attached to it to. The blade pierced the brain and the wolf fell to the ground dead "Now I didn't say I was gonna make it easy for you" a wolf from the left and right leaped at him. Keith rolled beneath one on his right before the wolf could turn around Keith pushed the blade through it's brain, then aimed at the the other one who tried to pounce him and pulled the trigger. A bang went through the clearing as the wolfs head exploded along with the who was just killed by the blade "Three down, you sure you wanna continue?" A wolf managed to sneak behind Keith and bite down on his leg "Ah you little shit" Keith grabbed it's jaw and head and pulled so his leg was free. He then grabbed it by the throat and said "you little piece of shit give me one good reason why I shouldn't crush your head with my bare hands?" The wolf just whined and whimpered "I own you now, is that understood?" The wolf barked in response "Good, now stay here like a good boy" the wolf barked again "Girl, my bad, now watch what happens when you defy me" Keith unfurled his wings and pointed them at the remaining three and launched a big ass bolt of electricity turning them to ash "Understood?" The wolf nodded in fear "Good, now I need to name you, how about... Root" the wolf shook it's head and took it' spawn and begun to spell something in the dirt "rose" "Well I guess I'll call you Rose, now how about we form a pact" Keith held out his hand. Rose hesitantly placed her paw on his hand. A flash went about the clearing

"Ugh, what happened?" Asked Rose

"We formed a pact and now I can understand you and use your powers to my gain" Keith said

"Well I don't know how I'm gonna help I'm just the runt of the pack"

"Not while your with me you aren't, now let's go check on that mare, I think she passed out" Keith said as he began walking to the tree where the mare was laying

"Yes Alpha"

"Alpha?"

"Yes you are the alpha of the pack aren't you?"

"Yes but you don't have to call me-"

"Alpha? I know but I want to"

"Great another one" Keith made it to the mare, she was orange with a fire red mane. The mare was bleeding but it also looked like she was holding something close to her.

The mare was holding a young foal about the same age as Rarity's sister. The mare coughed up some blood and looked at Keith "P-Please get my child to safety"

"There is no need, OVERGROW" Rose turned into a brown mist and was absorbed by Keith. Keith held out his hand and a war hammer formed into his hand by roots sprouting from the ground and entwining with each other "HEAL" Keith held the the shaft and moved the mead of the hammer above the mare and a green field surrounded the mare, slowly the wounds closed and the bleeding stopped

The mare woke up to see blue foal with a fire red mane running around a field. "Hey son what are you doing?" The mare spoke but then her head snapped to attention as she saw a Shadowling, a Windago, a Phoenix, and a Timber wolf nearing her son "SON GET AWAY!" she shouted

"Relax there with me" Keith said

The mare jumped up to her hooves "Who are you" the mare asked as her eyes turned into flaming fountains

"I'm the one who save your life, Match, Frost, Dusk, Rose come here" Keith's pet came over to him. Match landed on his shoulder, and Dusk, Rose, and Frost just sat next to him "They are all well behaved so need to worry, on top of that they were playing with your son so relax"

"I'm grateful that you saved me and my son, also we are forever in your debt, but we must get going, come on Blaze"

"Aww mom I was having fun" Blaze complained

"I'm sure you were, tell it thank you"

"I'm a human and call me Keith" Keith explained

"Okay thank you Keith for saving me and my mom from those mean wolfs"

"Not a problem"

"Thank you Keith if you ever need anything just ask and I'll do my best to comply with it, also my name is Heat Wave" Heat said walking away

Keith just stood there waving with a false smile "alright everyone lets get back to the hike, playtime is over"

Author's Note

Sorry for the short chapter to the people who still read my story. I had a crappy week followed by one of my buddies leaving town for a while, also I got a huge ass migraine in the middle of the week. So again sorry to everyone I hope you enjoyed it.

Whitetail Woods pt. 2 Ch. 12

"Frost I need an ETA to our target" Keith spoke

"Another fifteen minutes Master" Frost spoke

"Thank you now all that's left is to-" Just then Keith's stomach growled "-Is to find some food"

"Alpha, if I may?" Rose spoke

"What is it Rose?"

"I may not be strong but I do know how to hunt, and ever since I made the pact with you I'm not hungry anymore, but I can still assist" Rose explained

"Well the reason you aren't hungry is because you now feed off my spirit, and I would like some help, speaking of help what can you do exactly if you don't mind me asking"

"Well if it's anything like the others then you'll be granted my natural abilities, plus a unique one"

"Well what's you abilities?"

"Oh right sorry I was rambling, I have enhanced hearing and smell, plus you have my weapon Overgrow, and as for the unique ability, I'm not not sure myself"

"I have a good feeling what it is"

"What is it?"

"We have done it once already, remember, Heal"

"Oh yeah, well in any case what would you have me do Alpha"

"Stop calling me Alpha"

"Nope"

"Fuck, well then enhance my hearing I want to know whats around me"

"Your command is law Alpha" Rose began to focus her hearing capabilities into Keith's "Done"

"Thank you, now let's figure out whats around here. Hmm lets see" Keith cupped his right hand hand around his ear "Rabbit, no, Ursa minor, no, Cockatrice, no, Tom, no... Wait WHAT!?" Keith focused his hearing to the beat of the paws on the ground and a roar off in the distance "Fuck what is he doing here" a Then Keith heard other voices.

"Hey Twi, are you sure he is here" Applejack asked trying to hold onto her hat

"I'm positive this is where he is at"

"Well we best not keep him waiting, I'll fly on ahead" Rainbow Dash said

"Alright Rainbow, stay safe, he is over there" Twilight responded

"Alright I'll see ya there slowpokes"

"Fuck, I didn't think they'd come after me, well I best go greet them" Keith said to no one. Then he unfurled his wings and launched himself up through the thicket of branches and leaves. He then started to fly towards Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash saw Keith flying straight at her, they meet each other half way. "Keith we all need to talk to you"

"Why are you all here?" Keith asked annoyed

"We should be asking you the same thing but first come down, the rest need to see you"

"Fine" Keith stopped flapping and just floated down to the ground where Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Twilight, Ranger, Ace, and Time were all waiting for him. Finally Keith touched down on the ground and looked at everyone "Now let me ask again, why are you all here? And more importantly, WHY DID YOU BRING THEM HERE!?" Keith yelled at Tom.

Tom just whimpered and bowed his head.

"Well either or, let me ask again, what are you all doing here?"

"We came to help you bring in Nightmare" Ranger answered

"Bring in?" Keith asked confused

"Yes, we planned on bringing it in to answer-" *Smack* Twilight began but her head suddenly snapped to the side. Twilight just froze there unsure of what happened. She looked back and saw Keith in front of her with his left hand near his right shoulder.

"I'm not one for hitting girls but I told you not to talk to me until I find what is responsible for Rarity's Death, and as for bringing it in, I have no such intentions." Keith warned them

"Hey c'mon man what else are ya gonna do when we find it?" Ace asked

"Well when I find it I'm going to kill it and I be the only one going, Dusk send them back to the palace except for Ranger this is her problem as much as ours"

"Understood Master" Dusk spoke "Shadow warp now active, just give them a shove and they'll be off"

"Tom take everybody and walk straight into that tree"

Tom just nodded. Then with his massive paw be brushed everybody to the tree line and was wisked away by shadow.

"Let's go Ranger we have a score to settle" Keith grabbed Ranger and took to the sky

-----20 minutes later-----

"Is this the place?" Ranger asked

"I'm sure of it, Frost's readings aren't wrong"

"Thank you Master" Frost responded to the praise

"Stop calling me Master" Keith grumbled

"No Master"

"Fuck"

Ranger and Keith arrived at the place where the night mare was. "It had to be a deep, dark, dank cave, didn't it?" Ranger complained

"Just be glad it isn't a volcano, but that doesn't matter right now, let's go." Keith started to walk into the cave

"Fine but let's get in and out as fast as possible." Ranger then slipped in behind Keith

----Deep in the cave----

"Ah your finally here Keith, well it doesn't matter lets see how you fair against this" Nightmare's horn light up as she gazed upon Keith in a crystal ball

----Back with Ranger and Keith----

"How deep does this cave go?" Ranger asked as the rounded a corner

"Not to be rude Ranger but did you ever consider not giving away our... Position" Keith stared in awe as a huge hulking golem rose from the ground.

The golem stared down at the two intruders. Then it roared at the two of them. The force of the roar was enough to push both Keith and Ranger against the a wall. The golem brought it's arm back and swung it at Ranger. Ranger who had little time to respond wrapped herself in her cloak. The punch struck and effectively slammed it's arm into the wall in which it was now stuck.

"RANGER! PENUMBRA" The orb of condensed shadows formed "Hear my command, SHATTER" The orb the exploded into multiple dark tentacles that shot out at the golems arm, the tentacles then wrapped around it and constricted, if you were close enough you could hear the now forming cracks in it's arm "Hear my command, RELOAD" Keith the pulled out his shotgun and watched the shadows be absorbed by the gun. Keith ran up to the now cracked arm and pulled the trigger as he slammed the blade of the gun into the crack, making the barrel press up against the arm "I'm Gonna-" as Keith pulled the trigger he yelled "-Take Your Arm To HELL!" the barrel's muzzle exploded in a dark flash then the crash of the gun rang through out the cave.

The golem stumbled back and stared at it's now missing arm. Then it looked at Keith who just stood there holding his now smoking shotgun where the arm used to be. Keith turned to the golem and glared at it "PHOENIX" The shotgun then disappeared and was replaced with two red flaming gauntlets and two red flaming boots. Keith fell into a fighters stance. He spun around and slammed his palm into the stone chunk in the wall, then dug his armored fingers into it. Keith pulled the chunk out of the wall and with the momentum threw it at the golem "GO TO HELL!!!" Keith yelled. The chunk smashed into the golem's face. The force of the stone on it's face not only shattered it's face but the chunk as well. The golem fell to the ground dead.

Keith spun back around with tears in his eyes "please, please no, please not again" Keith cried digging through the hole in the wall "NO, NOT YOU TO!" Then Keith saw it he saw a small piece of white cloth. With Keith's spirit high he dug frantically. He dug up a small white cocoon made out of cloth. He undid the cloth and saw Ranger knocked out but otherwise fine. Keith sighed in relief "No matter where you go Precise Shot-" Keith sat up against a wall and rested her head oh his lap "-your always clumsy, Match, Frost, Dusk, Rose" black, brown, blue-green, and red mist seeped from his body and formed into his family

"How may we be of assistance Alpha" Rose spoke

"I need you and Frost to take point up ahead, and I need you both" he pointed to Match, and Dusk "to cover our backs, I need a bit of a rest"

"Understood Master, Lets go Match" Dusk spoke

"Right" Match flew over and landed on Dusk's back

"Us to" Rose spoke

"*Sigh* well I can't complain" Frost said as she followed the over energetic wolf

"Finally some peace and..." Keith's head dropped and was followed by snoring

Whitetail Woods pt. 3 Ch. 13

"K-" a voice echoed in Keith's ears "Kei-"

"Who is that" Keith mumbled to himself

"Keith wake-" The voice echoed again reaching deeper into Keith conscious

"Who are-" Keith slurred but then was cut off

"KEITH WAKE THE HELL UP!" The voice screamed and was shortly followed by a flash of pain going through his gut

Keith jolted awake holding his stomach "WHO THE FUCK HIT M-" Keith's mouth snapped shut at the sight of Ranger right in front of him with a worried expression "what's wrong"

"It's your pets, I can't find them" Ranger spoke sullen

"They aren't pets, they are a family, and what do you mean you can't find them?" Just then a dark portal opened up

"Keith... Help" Dusk tried to speak as she came stumbling out of the portal

Keith caught Dusk in his arms and gazed upon her. She had a deep cut on her right side, a similar cut on her back left leg, and had multiple scratches and bruises all over her body. Her eyes were glazed over and fluttering shut, then she fell limp. Keith stood up and absorbed Dusk back into his body. "Who did this to you Dusk?" Keith asked

"It was- unghn my body still hurts but- ouch it was Nightmare, please, she has the others we need to go after her" Dusk voice was weak, hardly noticeable, and above all made Keith want to kill Nightmare even more

"Wait did you say she?"

"Yes"

"Alright that answers another question I had, but take it easy and rest, I'll definitely get them back" Keith spoke determined "Ranger lets go" Ranger nodded and the two of them ran down the hall where Nightmare resided

--------Nightmare's Room--------

"Oh foolish little ape" Nightmare begun as she ran her hoof over her crystal ball watch Keith "you think you can beat me Hmph, Don't make me laugh you have no chance of winning especially since I have your little pets locked up, like they should" Nightmare turned her attention away from her ball and looked at her trophies. Match who was in a cage designed to hold a Phoenix. Frost was on the floor panting because a flaming bird cage was placed around her on the floor. And Rose was placed in a bird cage as well just with re-enforced steel "Sorry I had to put you all in bird cages it was all I had at the time, wait what am I saying sorry for this seems right for birds who I don't want flying away" Nightmare snickered

-----Right outside the door-----

"Keith are you sure about this?" Ranger asked

"No, in fact I'm scared shitless right now but I made a promise that I would never abandon them, and she killed Rarity, this is something I can not over look" Keith unfurled his wings and pointed the tips at the door "get behind me Ranger" Ranger moved behind Keith "You did remember to scramble Nightmares viewing spell?"

"Yes"

"Good, now" Keith's wings crackled with electricity "We Kill" The electricity flowed through his wings into a large condensed ball of electricity "A NIGHTMARE" Keith fired the ball now turned beam at the door completely eradicating it

Nightmare was stunned but before she could say anything she blasted by a beam of pure energy caught her right in the face. She was blasted in and through multiple walls.

"Match, Rose, Frost, are you all okay!?" Keith asked worried

"Please Master get us out of here" Frost said coughing

Keith stared at her condition and the cage "Fuck the pain" With that said Keith grabbed the flaming bars and ripped each one off it's hinges. Keith reached out and picked up Frost "Frost... Your melting"

"It's okay Master, I'm just glad you are all safe now" Frost then passed out

"Sorry Frost but you ain't dying on me today" Keith absorbed her into his body "Frost, can you hear me?"

"Yes... Master, but barely"

"Sorry but I won't let you go, I won't let any of you go, Match, Rose" Keith shattered their cages with ease "Lets go take this demon down" Match, and Rose turned into their respective mists and seeped back into Keith

"How Dare You Harm Me!" Nightmare came bursting back through the hole "But now that you here" Nightmare's horn lite up "we can FIGHT!" Nightmare, Keith, and Ranger were teleported to an abandon arena.

"Where are we?" Keith asked now getting serious

"Why we are at a colosseum in which two ponies would fight to the death" Nightmare explained

"Now why would you in the right mind bring me here knowing full well, you have no chance of beating me" Keith snickered

"Are you sure? I already broke your mind, remember? I hade little miss magic kill your lover and her best friend!" Nightmare busted out laughing. Then the next thing she knew she had a fist in her face. Her head snapped to the side, and as she brought it back she could have sworn there were were two Keiths.

Keith grabbed her by the throat and picked her up, with eyes ablaze he spoke "If you ever dare mention Rarity again I'll beat your ass so hard your going to beg me everyday of your pathetic life that you want me to kill you"

All of a sudden Nightmare smiled at him "Fool" then with a puff of purple smoke she was gone

Keith spun around to find Nightmare pinning down Ranger "Get Off Her!" Keith rushed Nightmare with stunning speed, only for Nightmare to disappear once more.

"Do you think you can beat me with such barbaric movements like those, that is nothing, watch this" Nightmare touched her horn to the ground then sprung upwards forming a wave of fire to hurdle towards Keith

"IGNITE" Keith's sword burst into life in his hand and slashed at the wave with a vertical strike, the wave split into two around Keith and Ranger. Keith was pushed back a tad due to the immense heat.

"See how can you even hope to beat me when you can't even take a hit from my weakest spell, you have lost" Nightmare taunted

"Fuck off bitch, if you think that's going to take me down... You're dead wrong"

"Well if that won't kill you, try this" Nightmare pointed her horn at Keith and launched a huge lightning bolt

Keith pointed the tip of his blade at the lightning. The lightning struck, Keith was pushed back then fell over Ranger. The sword flew out of hand and both Ranger and Keith started to convulse on the ground. The lightning stopped.

"See you have no chance of beating me, give up and become my slave" Nightmare gloated

"You think... I'll give up... After all the shit... I did off story"

"Wait what" Nightmare asked in confusion

"OVERGROW" Keith's sword fizzle out of existence in midair and roots sprouted from the ground and grew into Keith's war hammer. Keith spun it around his body like an expert then slammed the hammer into the ground in front of him. The result was a shock wake blasted at Nightmare.

"You don't make any sense!" Nightmare screamed and through up a shield that block the shockwave, but in return made her flinch through the force of the impact. Keith ran up to her.

"FEEL THE FORCE OF NATURE BITCH!" Keith swung his hammer underhand with all his might. The moment the hammer made impact it shattered the shield that nightmare put up, left a crater in the wall behind, and made contact Nightmare who flew into the crater making it even deeper.

"Hmm that kind of hurt" Nightmare taunted as she pulled herself out of the crater "But it futile"

"DIE YOU STUPID BITCH" Keith spun the hammer and uppercut Nightmare in the jaw, (with the hammer) she flew into the air. Keith tossed his hammer high in the air, and jumped after it. When Keith reached his hammer Nightmare had finally hit the ground, and Keith grabbed his hammer and started to spin. Faster and faster Keith spun until he was a brown spinning saw blade. Keith plummeted to the floor where Nightmare was now getting up, Keith came down on here head with all the momentum and force of the spinning and smashed into the floor again, leaving another crater in the ground.

Keith nailed the landing and after the dust settled Nightmare lay in the crater unconscious. "I'm going to kill you" Keith's rage now returning to him. Keith jumped into the crater and held the hammer above his head. The memories of Rarity flashed through his mind, the first kiss, their dates, her saving him in her last moments, all of them. Keith brought down the hammer.

"NO!"

Keith stopped his hammer and the head of it barely tapped Nightmare's face. Keith looked over to see a teary'd eye'd Ranger. "What?"

"No, please Keith don't kill her" Ranger sobbed

"Why not!? She Killed Rarity!"

"I know but please don't become the monster she is. Please. Please don't become low like her." Ranger ran up to Keith and hugged him.

"......... Alright Ranger, I won't kill her, but I am going to beat the crap out of her later, Dusk take us to the castle, I've subdued the enemy."

"Understood Master" with that Ranger, Keith, and Nightmare disappeared into the shadows.

Back to the Castle Ch. 14

Keith, Ranger, and the now unconscious Nightmare appeared in front of the gates to the palace. "Was this really necessary" Ranger asked as she slightly pulled at the rope that Keith tied Nightmare up with.

"Extremely necessary, I don't want to miss the fun... And pain" Keith chuckled with his sadistic grin

"Umm Keith... Are you okay?" Ranger asked with concern

"Totally fine, Ranger" Keith spun and placed in front of hers. The turn caused Nightmare to slam into the wall. "Now, let's go" Keith chuckled "I hope I'm the executioner" Keith whispered as they walked to the hall

--------The Throne Room-------

"Please Princess we have to go after him before he does anything rash" Twilight begged Luna, all her friends nodded in agreement

Celestia walked up to Twilight from behind "I know your worried about Keith, but if Precise Shot is with him he won't do anything "rash" because that mare is the only good influence he has right now and-" The doors suddenly burst open to the throne room.

"I'm back everyone, and I brought a little gift!" Keith yelled as yanked on the rope over his shoulder causing the tied up Nightmare to fly over Keith and slam into the ground in front of him.

"KEITH!" Keith flinched at the yell "was it really necessary to kick the door open"

"... Yes?" Keith questioned

"No, no it wasn't, me and you are going to have a talk later"

"Fine" Keith sulked "so Sun But what do you want me to do with this bitch" Keith then pulled on the rope a few times to gesture... And for his amusement.

"Please place it in front of me Keith" Luna ordered

"Ah I did also learn that "it" is a girl" Ranger commented

"... Please place her in front of me Keith" Keith placed the tied up Nightmare at the feet of the throne

"So, what are we gonna do with her?" Keith asked

"I'm going to eat her"

The entire room fell silent "Umm what do you mean by that Luna?"

"Simple I'm going to eat the Nightmare that has encompassed her, and release her normal form"

"Oh thank... Whatever, you made it sound like you were actually going to eat her" Keith sighed in relief

"Well depending on how cute she is, I just might" Luna turned her head to Keith and winked at him. Keith blushed in response

"Oh and Keith, one more thing"

"Yes?"

"Hold her down"

"Penumbra, hear my command, Bind" The rope around Nightmare faded into blackness then into individual tentacles that each held one leg spread wide "all yours"

"Thank you, now" Luna's horn glowed brighter and brighter, at a point the amount of magic flowing through Luna's horn caused he to start floating, and her eyes to glow white. Luna opened her mouth and inhaled a black mist began to seep from Nightmare's horn. Luna continued to inhale only absorbing that which is magic from Nightmare, bothering nothing else in the area.

Slowly Nightmare's coat went from midnight black too crimson red, her mane went from a straight black too a simple purple. Her body shrunk down to the size of Applebloom. The wings faded into nothingness, and the horn turned small to fit her size, and it matched her coat in color. Luna descended to the floor and landed "Keith, you can release her now" The tentacles let go and formed back into the ball of shadows which Keith dispelled.

"So, what do we do with her now?" Keith asked

"Well, first we wake her up" Luna cleared her throat "WAKE UUUUUUP!" Luna shouted in her royal Canterlot voice.

The little foal's eyes snapped open in shock and just stared at Luna in shock. The green eyes locked onto Keith. The foal sniffled a few times then started to cry

"Luna sister, you can not just scare a little foal like that you have to be kind and gentle" Celestia turned to the foal and hugged her "No sweetie just calm down and tell us your name"

"Hey" Keith nudged Time who had just been sitting there quietly "do you remember that foal coming from Nightmare, cause I sure do"

"Yes this is quite the predicament" Time said keeping his composure, then "BUT SHE IS JUST TO CUTE!"

Keith just stared at time confused out of his mind

"Well sweetie what is your name?" Celestia asked again

The crying stopped down to a sniffle "I-I don't remember"

Celestia flinched at that "Well then tell me do you know where your parents are?"

The child just started to sob again "m-m-my mommy died in a fire"

"Shh shh shh it's okay, do you know where your daddy is?"

The foal just raised it hoof and pointed at Keith who was currently sidetracked by apologizing to Twilight about hitting her. "He is my daddy" the Foal whispered

Both the princess' eyes were wide, but Celestia finally managed to choke out "T-Then why are you crying young one?"

"Because she scared me" The foal pointed at Luna. The foal then jumped out of Celestia's metaphorical "arms" and ran to Keith. "Daddy" The foal spoke

Keith just stared at the foal in shock, so much shock to him in fact Dusk, Frost, Match, and Rose were ejected out of him, and those four were equally in shock along with the entire room "Umm I think you have me confused with someone else sweetheart"

The foal shook her head "No your defiantly my daddy" the foal said with a smile

Keith just stood there then after a few moments of silence he fell on his back and passed out

"DADDY!"
