A black drake is sitting in a large brick building, he is clad in green trousers and hide tunic with his eyes closed. His body begin to get darker and darker as shadows begin to cover him, coating his form. His long tail becoming as sharp as a sword and his body growing in size. The shadows turning his scales even blacker, so black no light seems to pierce and his white frills and rounded white spines turning silver and sharp as daggers but before it can completely coat his body.

"*NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOXXXXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!*" a usually soft and quiet voice shouts from next to his frill , the shadowy transformation dissipating immediately.

"*OW!*" shouts the dragon, now grasping his head, his eyes still closed. The drake who had done it, smiling as he clinches his frills.

"*What the hell, Edge!!!*" said Nox angrily to the dragoness leaning above him

The dragoness: Edge is a white dragon, her figure, thin yet with a large busted. She lacks spines, and instead has red tentacle/hair like membranes, these membranes lie are atop her head as well, forming a large long flowing mash of these red membranes, her fills matching the red of the membranes. They obscure her eyes from sight though, she shows no trouble with sight. Her tail a whip-ish long tail, which is shorter than Nox's own. She is at 7 ft 3 inches, which is slightly above average for her clan. She is of the clan Styx. At her sides: a shortsword of black Damascus steel, and a black whip,and on her back is a satchel of matching color. She is clad in a shirt of black silk, and murky grey trousers. She is currently smiling at the drake as he is now searching for something.

"*Can you help me find my glasses?*" asks Nox politely his red and blue pony eyes now searching for where he left them.

"*Right here*" Edge handing him the glasses

"*Thanks*" Nox putting on the weird glasses.

"*Geez you don't even need those, why do you wear them?*" asks Edge.

"*Well cause I found'em and they look good on me.*"said Nox smiling.

"*Whatever you say*" said Edge rolling her eyes.

Now remembering what he was doing before she came into the lodging.

"*What the hell! why did you interrupt me, I was so close to doing this spell*", said Nox pulling out the scroll.

"*You said that last week, when you were visiting my home village, and you burned up my favorite skin*" said Edge slightly miffed.

"* So is there a reason you yelled in my frill*", Nox quickly asks, trying to change the subject.

"* Oh yeah i came to ask if you wanted to come hunting in the forest with me, Minor and Storm*" said Edge.

"*.... Eh guess i can, wait which one?*" Nox asks.

"The usual" replies Edge.

"*Sure*"Nox getting up.
"*I''ll meet you guys at the edge of the forest.*" said Nox.

He then goes down below to a room below, and sits down.

He takes off his glasses, and around him. reality starts to bend.

"Hello, I am Nox Onyx", *Hello,"* I am Nox Onyx*" he says to the bends before him.

"*I know someone is there, I was taught to see through to the other world. I cant see you but, i can hear you.*"

He waits for several minutes, and hears nothing.

"*Sigh well, If you wish to talk, plz tell me.*"

"*This is the 60th try, Eris and barb have been able to commune with those on the other side ,.... maybe there is something im not doing right*", he ponders as he leaves the building.and makes his way to the forest, his sword strapped to his back.

"*Hey guys*" waves Nox to his friends, the trio turn to him.

"*Hello*" said Minor, smiling at Nox, her spear on her back.

"*Hey*" said Storm, nestling in the tree above them.

Ursa Minor is of the Titan clan, she has an athletic, petite muscular build, and is about 5 ft 5 inches, close to the average of her people.Instead of ear frills, she has square ear fins. Her eyes are green, and her wavy spines are yellow along with her frills. Her scales are a deep orange. She is clad in a pair of green leggings, and a green cloth top only wrapping up her chest. Two bands of bronze around both her ankles. Her tail is a long and broad with a an odd rock like block at its end, and as stated a spear is across her back.

Storm is of the Razor clan, like Minor she has an athletic build, but where Minor is petite, she is tall, at about 7 ft 1 inch and has wings among the 4. Her eyes a deep yellow, and her teeth like spines and spiky frill ears the same, like most razors, she has 3 tails, each a bit thicker then Nox own and not as long, though long themselves. Her scales are a stormy grey. She is clad in black cloth for the occasion, her shirt completely hiding her arms, and her leggings covering down to her feet. Her hood now pulled up hiding her face. On her back be a quiver, her bow on the ground, and a set of strapped at her side. A satchel on her back.

"*Ok everyone on the ground*" said Nox as he kicks the tree knocking her out of the tree.

"*Gotcha*" said Nox as she falls into his arms, he places her on her feet.

"*So.... what are hunting for?*" asks Nox

"*Hmmm...., I was thinking we get some, timberwolf wood, and a manticore*" said Edge.

"*Why not something bigger?*" asks Storm.

"*Cause we all were in some serious shit the last time, we tried to hunt a Ursa Major*" Minor said, bringing up the memory.

*3 months ago*

"*Damn it Why isnt this working!*" exclaims Storm, as she flies ahead of the rampaging purple bear, blasting it with lightning but, the blast not even slowing down the beast.

"*That would be because Ursa Minors and Majors are Immune to lightning*" said Nox, running ahead and reading a scroll, while carrying Minor in his tails and Edge in his arms.

"RRRRRAWRRRRRRRR!" goes the beast.

"*Who's idea was this to do again*", said Minor, embarrassed to be carried like a satchel.

"*That would be mine......uh where are we running to anyhow?*" asks Nox and sees the village.

"*Shit!*" shouts Storm, as arrows fly from the village at the beast, all bouncing off the starry bear.

"*We are so screwed!*" exclaims Nox.

*Crash, Crash, Crash, Crash*

"*My house!*" shout Storm, Minor, and Styx.

*Fwoosh*

A lone burning arrow, is now in the beasts right eye.

"RAARRARRRRGGGGHHHH" screams out the beasts, stopping dead in its tracks.

A figure is now over the bear, a black pony and her eyes purple with white swirls.

"*Full Haki*" said Nox quietly, foreboding knowing that means she is pissed.

"Gum Gum Shot!" Screwball shouts as her arm extending, a gauntlet fist pierces through the damaged eye and appearing through the other side of the bear's head , instantly killing the beast.

"*Why didnt we think of that?*" asks Storm as she makes her descent.

"*Probably cause we didn't want to get eaten*" said Nox flatly.

"* Kinda weird that this was Nox's idea, usaully idea like that are Storm's*", said Minor nonchantly.

"*Eat me, squirt!*" Storm flipping MInor off.

"*I'm going to need a healer*" said Edge ,addressing her broken leg and holding back tears in her eyes.

Two figure now Stand behind the 4 friends

The purple dragoness on the left still has the appearance of the 12 year old she was a few years back, she is clad in an hoodied black clothing for a shirt and black leggings with a quiver on her back and her bow in hand.

The pony on her right had changed with time. She has grown tall but is still shorter then Nox due to being a pony, she is only 6 ft 2 inches though that is tall for some ponies . She has a athletic frame, and ample areas. Her coat is pink and her hair, a purple and white swirls. Her eyes hold white swirls instead of normal pupils, and she is currently garbed in an simple red clothed shirts and blue cloth pants.She is currently wearing wearing metal gauntlets.

"You 4 alright? asks Screwball concern written on her and Barb face as she turns back to her normal color.

"*We are fine but Edge, broke her leg*", said Nox addressing Edge in his arms.

"*Can one of you take her to the heal-*" begins Barb.

"*I will!*" said Storm quickly , grabbing the Dragoness from Nox and flying away, to the healer.

The two now turn there attention back to the 2 left, Nox and Minor, the two matriaches of the village smile at the 2.

"*Uh we can explain*", said Minor trying to smile, but failing.

"*Go ahead*" say both the Dragoness and the pony smiling.

"*Well we thought we could get it but then, it swiped at Edge and broke her leg, so we had to run, cause it didn't give us enough to try and change to fight it, and then we ran around and somehow ended up back here, and well you know*" said Minor truthfully.

"*You both know what happens next right*", said Screwball rearing back her fist, sighing but a smile still on her face.

"*Have mercy*" Nox smiling nervously.

"*Nope*" said Screwball, as she takes of her gauntlet.

"*Thought so*" Noxs, blocking his face, Minor doing the same.

"*AHHHH!!!*" scream out both, as they are sent flying.

The memory ends there.

"*Don't remind me*" said Nox, rubbing his jaw.

"*Ok enough going down memory lane and lets hunt!*" said Edge.

"*Ill take point*" said Nox quickly, running ahead of the group into the forest.

"* Aww i wanted point*" said Edge as she runs after him, the others following.

"*Ok lets see.*" said Nox as he and the others and begin to wander the forest as a group, they make it through unmolested and eventually find there way to a bridge.

"*Uh, Have we ever been here before*" asks Edge, as she looks around.

The others follow suit, no recognizing the new surroundings.

"*Ok so were lost, .......so who built the bridge?*" asks the girls turning to Nox.

"*No idea, my sisters did not mention this, and I have been busy doing stuff and preparing for the new arrivals*" said Nox.

"*Ok so you guys cross the bridge already!*" Storm said already across.

Shrugging the others join the implusive drake, across the bridge and begin to explore this new section of the forest.

"*Anyone else wondering, why the forest is empty today?*" whispers Minor.

"* Yeah its a bit odd*" whispers back Nox.

"* The only time the forest has been this quiet, was your mom and uncles were here*" said Storm.

"* My uncles still carry some- wait! What was that?*" whispers Nox.

*Crack*

"*Over there*" whispers Storm, drawing out a knife.

The group make there way to the noise, a duo of dueling manticores in the area.

"*Ok, Storm and Minor You take out the one on the left, Me and Edge will get the one one the right, got it?*" asks Nox.

"*Got it*" said the others.

Storm draws back an arrow.

*Shink* into the manticores side, the manticores then take off, from the hunters.

"*Why are they running?*" asks Edge shocked, not believing what her eyes just saw.

"*We can figure out that mystery of the scaredy manticores after we catch them!*" yells back Nox after he takes off after the beast along with storm and minor

"*Dammit!, I need that venom,*" Edge joining the others in the pursuit

They continue to chase the manticores until they end up into a clearing.

"* Ok time for some magic*" Edge and Nox place there hands on the ground. A wall of brambles appearing and blocking the path of the manticores.

The manitcore pair, then turn toward the the four hunters, claws bear, there stinger tails ready, ready for battle.

"*Ok finally we can do this*" said Storm, as the bramble wall fades away as Edge and Nox dispel the illusion.

She fires 4 arrows at the manticores, moving as she shoots to draw the attention of the maticore on the left. She manages to land 3 of the arrow but the last one zooms past, embedding it into a castle wall.

"*I got its tail,*" said Styx, as she points out her arm, a black wave of energy heads out from her palm, slashing off the tail's poisonous stinger, A loud noise resonating through the air, as the blast hits the ground.

"*Ok! its disarmed take it out Shortstop!*" shouts out Storm

"*Got it bitch!*" shouts Minor as thrusts her spear through the beast throat, and delivering a fatalistic kick to the beasts face.

"*Ok were done, lets just wait for him*', says Storm lying down

"*Might as well*" says Minor as she sits down after pulling her spear form the manticore, her tail like a spring keeping her up.

"*Ill help Nox then*" says Edge, as she rushes over to join the fight.

"*Maybe 3 on 1 was a bit much" admits Minor.

"* Woah, your a pretty fast stinger" Nox dodging the manticores strikes.

"*But, Not fast enough!*" Nox as he aims his claws at the beasts throat,hitting true and effectively killing it.

"*Huh, looks like you didnt need any help*" said Edge, from behind him.

"*Nope, just testing my speed*" said Nox as he readjust himself.

"* So should we explore this mysterious stone castle in the middle of nowhere?*" asks Storm smiling at the prizes they got, as she and Minor carry the prizes on her shoulders moves over to the two drakes.

*Aroooooooooooooo*

"* Aww sweet! Timberwolves*" said Nox as he whips his claws on the manticores corpse and draws out his sword

A pack of 20 timberwolves came out of the woods attracted by the manticore prize.

"*Looks like the forest is waking up*" Minor placing down the manticore corpse, and placing her spear into the ground.

"*Ok looks like we wont need our weapons*" said Storm smiling as she cracks her knuckles.

"*Speak for your self I want as much, non-fist splitnered wood as possible!*" Nox rushes at the wolves, the wolves folllowing suit.

A loud noise fills the air as the wolves are blasted to smithereens.

"*AhhhhhhH!*" screams Nox as he flies high through the air and is implanted into a wall of the large stone castle.

"*Ouch*" go the others in unison.

"*You ok ?*" yells out Storm.

"*I'm fine*" said Nox as he removes himself from the wall.

"*What was that? *" asks Nox as floats down to the others.

"Can thou explain to us as to why thou are at our abode, and causing a ruckus" said A voice from behind them.

"*Oh not you again*" said Nox, as he recognizes the voice, and turns around.

Standing there is the Alicron Princess Luna, wearing a night dress and glaring at them.

"*Whats with the little pony?*" said Storm, putting back her weapons.

"Uh Hi" said Nox giving a smile to the alicorn, speaking equnish.
