*5 or so years ago*

"*Hey how much further till were there?*" asks Nox(age 11) as he floats around Angel. His 5 ft 2 inch form floating around Angel, his loose green shirt and trousers swaying.

"*Just get on the ground & shut up 13, its not much further*" mutters Angel (age 11). Angel's 5ft 2in form, angrily pouting and moving through the grass.Angel's clothing a light blue leggings and red shirt.

"*Sheesh no need to be such a little bitch about it, Oh and don't call me that.*" Nox landing in the thick brush.

"*Just cause your here, doesn't mean I have to be nice*" states Angel.

"*Just cause you need my help, doesn't mean i have to be here little girl*" Nox dodging Angel's punch.

"*Miss!*" goes Nox as he dodges Angel's strikes.

"*Hold still,13!*" growls Angel and Nox simply sticks out his tongue.

"*Nope." Nox playfully dodges and flies high in the sky and notices that Angels is smashing trees.

"* Well shit..*" goes Nox as he dodges a tree, he listens for a moment.

"*Yeah yeah, I know this is immature but its still fun.*" said Nox to himself.

"*Get down here!*" shouts Angel as Nox appearing directly in front of Angel.

"*Um, can you please back up a few steps Nox.*" stammers Angel, smiling Nox complies.

"*Thank you.*" said Angel red-faced.

"*Alright now lets keep going.*" said Nox but stops again.

"*Wait, what about my tail?*" Nox asks, and turns to see Angel grab it.

"*Ah so that's what you meant, be more specific next time.*" Nox said as he was spun around by his tail. Angel releases and sends him flying.

"*Take that you jerk!*" shouts Angel still a bit red-faced as Nox goes flying away and lands far away, No voice responding back

"*13!*"shouts angel, no response .

"*13?*"

"*Nox!*" Shouts Angel, and runs off in the direction Nox flew, until entering a clearing and scans the land for him.

"*Nox!*" shouts Angel repeatedly, still getting no answer, a feeling of dread creeping in but was stopped when Angel tripped over him.

"*Mhhggkhhgd fhskdhd.... hdkbdfjkn fkdnof jndkd*" Nox's head stuck in a hole, his tail swaying around in a circle.

"* Hang on i'll get you out*" Angel goes to the ground, and punches around Nox's head breaking the earth around it. Nox withdrawis his head with an audible pop, and his mouthful. He quickly spits out the junk in his mouth.

"*Well that was fun.*" Nox smiling,looking down at the stuff.

"* A big golden ring, and gems? Well im hungry anyway*" Angel picking up one of the gem .

"*Wait don't, that was in my mouth!*" prompting Angel to stop and drop the gem.

"* Its a what? Really? Oh yeah there at home, they should be fine and awake eventually. Yeah I will give it to Ange.*" Nox speaking to himself.

"*Give me what?*" asks Angel standing back up.

"*Are we any closer?*" asks Nox as he stands up and dusts himself off. He picks up the giant ring and the gems and puts them in the bag on his back. Angel takes out a compass and looks at the surroundings, face palming after noticing where they were.

"*Yeah only over that hil-*" Noticing Nox is already gone and sighs. Follows after Nox.

"* So down there?*" asks Nox as he leans over the edge of a cliff.

"*No, over there*" Angel pointing to a divot in the ground, a ways away from the cliff.

"*Did you open it?*" asks Nox, Angel.

"*No*" replies.

"*Any reason why?*" asks Nox.

"* Well i didn't know what this says and*" Angel trailing off and looking down.

"*And?*" Nox .

"*Kinda thought you would like to look at it 13*" Angel bashfully balling hand into a fist.

"*Thanks*" Nox accepting and bumps his with Angel's.

"*Are you sure there isn't another reason*" asks Nox smirking.

"*Don't push it*" states Angel, prompting Nox to playfully float away a bit as Angel tries to punch him.

"* Calm yourself I'm only messing with you*" said Nox grinning, Angel joining in as they walk t the divot.

"* Yeah, so right here*" points Angel downward.

"*Ok! Move back a bit*"Nox getting on all four and digging.

" *I would use a shovel but this is much better.*" said Nox.

"*Who are you talking to?" Angel leaning over the hole and looking down into the hole.

"*Nobody! Oh be quiet and don't you start calling me that either, no you can't call me that!*" Nox shouts from deep in the hole.

*Dink*

"*Found it! Nox flies out of the hole quickly, carrying a large metal box

"*I thought you said you buried it only a little?*"

"* I may have been wrong*" said Angel.

"* So... whatever is in here could be damaged? *" Angel just simply shrugs, Nox looks at the box, closely examining it.

"*Well it could be anything really, but i don't think anything in it will be too damaged or dangerous*" Nox as he notes the box has no holes, or rust on it or odd odor.

"Alright lets get this thing open *" Nox said as he gathered the wind in his hand to form a small razor sharp blade and uses it to gingerly cut open the metal box, revealing the contents of the metal box.

"*Books, and some weird things? Any of the important?*" asks Angel reaches in and grabs one, trying to determine what it says.

"*Don't bother, the writing is equnish,*" Nox as he gingerly looks through the book, and uses his tail to grab a book from his bag and hands it to Angel

"*Use this, it should help *"

"* So what do they say?*" asks Angel

"* This is stuff is way B.E. *" Nox states as he looks at the various drawings and diagrams, his eyes going wide.
He suddenly pulls Angel close, causing Angel to blush deep red.

"*This isn't any ordinary old books! I think these books may be I.R!*" said Nox in a hushed whisper

"* Are you serious!*" whispers Angel back

"* Maybe.... and these aren't just books! There are even schematics, we gotta get theses back to-*" he suddenly stops as he hears a branch snap some ways away, and draws out a knife.

"* Did you hear that?*" asks Nox

"*No, why?*" asks Angel

"*I think someone is watching us*" Nox states as he gets on all four low to the ground.

"*You sure?*" asks Angel breaking a limb off a tree and using it as a club , Nox stealthily moves into the woods after the noise, quietly sniffing and puts his knife away smiling when he recognizes the smell.

"*Arrrrrrrooooooo!*" goes Nox as he flies at what made the noise before he is pinned to the ground. a smile on his face as he looks at the figure.

"*Don't do that Nox, you scared me!* Edge(age 13) pinning him down, A hoodie concealing her face & chest, and black leggings on her 5ft 11in form. A knife currently in her hand, and a smile still across Nox's face.

"*Next time just come out here with us then*" Nox, as he gives Edge a sweet kiss on the chick, and moves her off of him.

"*Angel! its only Edge!" shouts Nox as Edge starts to swoon, but snaps his fingers to end it.

"*That stalker!*" groans Angel, picking up the books and placing them gently back into the metal box. As Nox and Edge join Angel.

"*Good to see you to Angel*" Edge said sarcastically and notices the box.

"What's in their?*"

"*Some books about the I.R*" Answers Angel, Edges eyes go wide.

"*Are you sure?*" asks Edge.

"*Maybe, we will probably have to get them checked out" shrugs Nox.

*Snap*

A branch breaks behind them. Their heads immediately swivel towards the sound, and what they see is pretty out of place. A massive black wolf stalks out of the forest, its coat like shadow and as dark as Nox's scales,and its claws and teeth razor sharp. Its eyes were a deep red and glowing as it looked at the 3 friends, its eyes resting on Nox.

"*Holy shit*" Edge whispers.

Nox and the beast lock eyes, the wolf bares its teeth in an odd snarl.

"*Is it smil-*" Is all Nox gets to say before the wolf is already over him, he manages to push Edge away but gets swiped by the wolves paw and is swatted away like a rag doll.

"*Nox!*" shout both his friends, as the wolf moves in on him.

"*Be more specfic next time, and what kinda wolf is that!*" he shouts out loud as he manage to barely avoid the wolves maw and clutches his chest wound. Edge draws out several knives and throws them at the beast, all of them bouncing off the wolf's coat.

"* Hey!*" the wolf receives a stone to its side, and turns towards Angel. Stars begin to fly around Angel and then speed off at the wolf. The wolf opens its maw eating the projectiles. It opens its maw again but before it can do anything it receives a shadow bolt to its face from Edge, but remains focused on Angel.

"* Angel get away from it!*" shouts Nox ,but the wolf is already there, and swipes at Angel , a large cut appearing where the claw connected.

"*What is with this wolf!*" thinks Nox as he throws a ball of fire at the wolf.The wolf turning back to Nox.

"*It some kind of what!*" Nox whispers , hearing the Answer his eyes go wide.

"* Edge get Angel out of here!Get Help!*" shouts Nox as he throws a shadowy blob at the wolf.The attack misses and the wolf rushes at Nox. He notices Edge hesitating.

"*Go now!*" shouts Nox .Nox readies his knife as Edge picks up Angel and rushes into the forest.

"*This thing have any weakness Church?*" Nox asks as he dodges the beast claw and it lunges at him, a sensation of pain going through him as the beasts sinks its teeth into him.

He wakes up, breathing heavily and his head pounding . He opens his shirt and looks at his chest checking for bite marks.

"*They aren't gonna be there anymore*" said a female voice, Nox jumping to his feet and turns to see the speaker. Nox noticing he is in a large empty room.

The speaker is an oddity. Her eyes are piercing, draconic and light blue and her mane is short cut and blonde. She has a rough coat which is as dark as black steel and she stands over Nox at 7ft tall, her tail resembles his own, though hers has a tuff of long spiky blonde hair. She appears to have an athletic frame though that is obscured by the weird armor she wears. The same as Church's. Around her neck are dog tags and at her sides appear to be two weird metal devices

"* You gonna keep staring kid or are you gonna say something?*" the black creature asks irritation evident in her voice

"* Who and what are you?*" asks Nox

"*Who I am and what I am isn't important right now, till you open the door you'll be stuck in the dark*" she replies

"*What?*" he says before receiving a punch to the face. Nox is sent flying by the punch and lands hard on the ground, he quickly stands up and rubs his face.

"*Bitch!*" Nox said as he rubs his face.

"* What was that for!*" He moves into a battle stance, shifting his weight to his heels.

*Meanwhile back outside the Royal Sister's Castle*

"*Ok its been about 10 minutes since he passed out again. There appears theirs isn't any permanent damage to the upper body and he is fully healed above the belt*" States Edge as Angel finishes examining and healing Nox's upper body on a cloud. Pearl,Minor,Storm and Luna watching the two work from opposite sides, both keeping an eye on the opposing side.

"*Now to check the lower body*" Angels states putting on a set of gloves and moving to Nox pants, Luna backpedals a bit away, red faced.

"What are thou doing!?!" she shouts red-faced.

"Considering how he was swelling a bit when you were punching him, I have to check down here" states Angel In equnish, to the Alicorn.

"But this is extremely indecent" said Luna prudely, to which Angel does not reply.

"This is part of my job, so unless you wish to know what Nox's genitals look like,I kindly suggest you look the other way" said Angel politely Angel moving to remove Nox's pants, but stops.

"*You all back away and look away too*" Angel states brokering no argument, the others complying.

"*Ok lets continues*" said Edge

"*You too Edge*" Edge simply pouts and complies, noticing glances and peeking Angel sighs but continues onword

"* Not like this is the first time I've seen them, shocked this is what they focus on and not the fact that two fucking swords just grew out of Nox's arms.*" thinks Angel still slightly embarrassed at looking at Nox's family tools.

*Meanwhile*

"*Why do I feel like someone is blushing, and why do i feel like my pants are down?*" wonders Nox as he watches the black creature for another attack.

"*Sorry kid, need to do this*" She moves in on him, and quickly knees him to the chest and twist his wrist, flipping him over. He manages to roll away but before he can get to his feet receives a kick to his head.He uses his tail like a spring and is launched back to his feet. Nox charges at her, he feints a punch and uses his tail. Her own tail grabs his and twist it and she launches a barrage of punches into his chest and slams him into the wall head first.

"*Ow*"groans Nox as he rubs his head waking up on a cloud.

"*Was out for long?*" asks Nox as he rubs his head.

"*Only about 15 minutes*" replies Angel blushing, along with the others present.

"*Did I miss something?*" He asks as he headache fades, Noticing his everyone else is a bit red, even Luna.

"*Nothing*" Said Edge a bit exictedly.

Nox gets off the cloud ,removing the arm braces and opens up his shirt.

"What are you doing now dragon!?!" exclaims Luna getting a bit redder.

"Calm yourself, I 'm not putting on a show or anything" said Nox with a smile, as he snaps his fingers and a metal contraptions appears at his side.

"* Much better, fighting with the brace was a smart move if i do say so myself*" Nox stretches and bends his body, some in rather inappropriate manner and at odd angles.

"*What's with all of you?*" he in both languages , asks noticing them looking at him

"*Nothing*" state the others except Luna, who had gone silent at the display. She was almost red enough to change her coat color.

"We done for the day?" asks Nox addressing Luna, as she remains unmoving.

"Lulu?" he goes and snaps his fingers in her face bringing her back from her mind.

"Your dismiss!" Luna rushed, as she frantically flies back to the castle, and shuts the door.

"*Weird*" Nox notices the two swords on the ground and picks them up.

"*Well I'm gonna go home, check on somethings, maybe get some some work done, and check on Dawn and Set. See ya guys back home*" he jumps in the air and flies away.

"*So that's what he looks like below the belt*"Angel reminds them and brings the blush back to their faces.

Author's Note

A baby snake is more dangerous then an adult. A baby snake doesn't know how much venom to release in order to kill its prey and it can end up over using its supply. A cornered animal is the most dangerous animal, its unpredictable and will do what it needs to do in order to try and survive.

If you have any questions i'll answer some.

For those curious on the wolves exact size, it is about as big as a hummer. Oh and if your wondering how Nox's bending was bringing redness to their faces, go listen to some stripper music and guess how his bending could be imagined when u play that next to it in your imaginations.
