"Flint... we don't think... what we are trying to say...," Luna said but Flint left afraid of what she might now think of him, "we don't think you as a monster..." Flint bumped into Trick, knowing new information, he resident to speak.

"I saw Joshua, he was in Luna's bedroom but he got away." Flint said calmly.

"Well at least I know you protected my wife, I know about other brawlers. We are to meet at Sugercube Corner now." Trick said, he was trying really hard to not freak out as he moved slightly faster to Luna's room.

Flint saw Octavia sitting, all bummed out under a tree in the picnic orchard.

"Hey way the low look?"Flint asked and Octavia squealed in surprise. She didn't expect to see Flint.

"Tell me more!" Octavia asked trying to dodge the question, "what happened when you had Sizmere." Flint sighed and sat down next to her.

"Well, at times I had hurt people and not on purpose to. I was shunned my whole life until I became a brawler. That's about it." Flint said, he didn't want to go into to much detail about his past, including that he bursts into flames when he is mad.his angry fuels the flame.

"Oh, sorry to hear..." Octavia paused before asking, "if I moved away... would you forget me?" Flint was surprised she'd ask that. When he first met her, he scared her silly.

"No, I couldn't forget you..." Flint replied nervously but truthfully.

"Good, I'll be in Canterlot for a couple weeks to a month. I have a concert there. Will you wait for me?" Octavia asked nervously.

"Sure, you can count on it."

Once Flint made it to Sugarcube, he looked and didn't see a brawler he'd recognized. All he saw were four stallions at a table.

"Excuse me, I'm trying to find some brawlers." Flint asked then stallions.

"You must be Flint Metiores... I mean Flint Hooves." One stallion replied. Leave it to Trick to find brawlers Flint never met. Trick then bounced in the conversation.

"Well hi there Flint! Look who I found, FANS AND FRIENDS!" Trick said jumping up and down like Pinkie Pie.

"Yeah?" Flint said.

"yes yes yes! Come along everyone! We can't fight evil with empty tummies now can we?" Trick said and skips away with three weirded ponies, a one face hoofing one.

"He was a lot more sane in my dimension." Flint said and followed Trick. Flint was bummed out, because the first pony he got to know is leaving. Octavia and Luna are close friends too him, well besides the fact that Trick was as well a pony. Flint technically met Trick in his dimension, so Trick is technically his first pony friend.

As the ponies ate they talked about strategies and new move they had been working on. But Trick always found some way each strategy could go horribly wrong. "All I'm saying is that if we go in the Back way we would die. They would be expecting that. And if we sneak in the front they would also expect that." Trick said firmly. The four other ponies gave up trying to reason with Trick special talent.

"But since I know most about this world. They would not expect an assault from above." Trick said smirking.

"Did you forget brawler 101? Expect your enemy to be everywhere." Flint said plopping another hay fry in his mouth.

"Yes, indeed. But like Flint said, he will be expecting that too. But this will not be any ordinary air strike. This will be a strike from 5000 feet!" Trick said smirking, The other four ponies mouths dropped.

"We're going to need Benny for an air assault like that. It will be very difficult to do this plan without him." Flint said, "on another matter, is Luna doing okay? She saw me burst into flames, because I couldn't keep my anger in check."

"You. What?" Trick asked, Flint could tell Trick was holding in anger. "It's. Ok. I'll talk to her later, for now I need to visit Zecora for some clouds in a bottle and cloud walking potions. You find Benny and meet me at Golden oaks library. I'll have Nightshade with us as well." Trick said and pulled out the staff, teleporting to the Everfree.
"Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that." Flint said andnwalked out leaving the four confused ponies to themselves.

Rarity was going home when two hooves pulled her into the shadows.

"Shush for a moment." Rarity heard a stallion said and then three stallions ran up.

"Where did she go? Damn I wanted that white flank'" one pony said and then they ran off. The stallion let go of Rarity when he confirmed that the three ponies were gone.

"Sorry about that. I couldn't let a mare be raped." The stallion said.

"Thank you kind sir! Here let me take you to my boutique, I'll get you out of those... Dirty clothes." Rarity said, grabbing the stallion and pulls him inside the shop.

"If you insist." The stallion walked with Rarity to her boutique and walked inside. The first outfit was a Daring doo costume. "No." The second was a Sherlock pones outfit minus the pipe."not your color." Then rarity found a bat pony outfit. "Yes! Perfect, it goes with you coat and... Charming personality." Rarity said, smiling cheerfully at dressing him up.

"How about you get me a black jacket and a white shirt. That fits my shadow brawler type." The stallion said.

"Ok darling, I'll be back is just a moment." Rarity said, then went upstairs and a little unicorn filly came down.

"Hi mister! What's your name!?" She had a big smile on her face that could melt the coldest of hearts. But it could not light up a soul encased in such a dark shadow.

"The names Shadow Fleet and I'm a brawler." Shadow said smiling.

"Oh my Celestia! Your a brawler too!? That's so cool! What can you do?" The filly start to bounce around shadow. "Show me! show me! show me! show me! show me!" Rarity then yelled at the filly from upstairs.

"Sweetie bell, stop pestering our guest!"

"Sweetie Bell, huh? You said your a brawler too. Does that mean that you know another brawler?" Shadow asked.

"Uh huh! His name is Flint. He's living at Sweet apple acres with the apple family. If you want I can show you!" Sweetie bell shot Shadow a huge smile and sparkling eyes. But again it was not strong enough to lighten up the shadow brawlers heart.

"So you know Flint. Did you know his secret?" Shadow asked smiling.

"Um, he can light his hooves on fire?" Shadow chuckled at the fillys cliche cuteness. "What's funny mister?".

"Where do you think that fire comes from?" Shadow asked.

"Magic. Where else could it come from silly billy?" Sweetie asked.

"How about a demon?" Shadow asked smiling and leaning in. Sweetie bell took a step back. "A d-d-d-demon?"

"Yeah, Sizmere. The demon was sealed away inside Flint before he was born. The demon is apart of him and when he can't keep his anger in check, his entire body burst into flames. His voice also sounds very demonic." Shadow explained. Shadow waited for a reaction out of the scared filly but Sweetie belle was to afraid to talk. After a minute or two she spoke up but was nearly silent. "do you have a demon?".

"No, I'm only apart of the darkness. I'm demon free." Shadow said. He was slightly pleased at scaring the filly. Right then Rarity came down from upstairs.

"Why sweetie belle, you seem like you've seen a ghosts, is anything wrong." Rarity said.

"Noeverything'sfineimgoingoitforawhilebye!" Sweetie said and ran out the door like a small white blur.

"Well... That was strange. Um, here are your clothes darling. I used a black diamond on the white shirt to match your coat, do you like it?" Rarity said, Shadow looked at the white shirt and saw the blacked diamond.

"Fancy. Thank you." Shadow said smiling. Rarity smiled.

"It was nothing darling, and don't even think about paying me. You already did that by saving me from those scoundrels." Rarity said and gave shadow a hug, "Now, I'm sorry to part with you so quickly but I'm a little behind on some dresses for the gala in a few weeks. Good bye now." Rarity raced back upstairs and went into work mode.

"The gala? Wait I didn't get your name miss." Shadow said.

"Oh I'm sorry darling. Ahem! My name is Rarity, fashionista extrortanair!" Rarity said and She stoke a pose that made Shadow chuckle.

"Again I'm sorry to part ways so quickly, I must finish these dresses quickly." Rarity sighed.

"My name is Shadow Fleet. I'm want they call a brawler. I can help if you want." Shadow said smiling.

"Nononoooo! You've been too kind darling. Do you have a place to stay?" Rarity asked.

"No, I just arrived here." Shadow replied.

"I have a bed in the studio, your welcome to stay here if you'd like." Rarity said and gave him a hug, "And again, thank you from saving me from those ruffians." Then there was a knock at the door.

"Let me get that." Rarity opened the door to a grinning Trick. Shadow vanished into a shaded spot so Trick won't see him, luckily Trick didn't notice him.

"Hello my dear! How has your day been going?" Trick asked.

"Hello Trick." Rarity said, she didn't look happy to see Trick. Usually nopony was happy to see Trick.

"My day was going very well unti-" Rarity said, Trick walk past Rarity inside to boutique, "Come on in then!"

"Thank you." Trick said smiling, Rarity then scowled at Trick.

"This pony is a nutjob!" Rarity said under her breathe.

"I need some sky blue fabric and pearl white fabric as well." Trick said. Shadow watch the two as he was entirely invisible in the shade. Rarity then sold the fabric to Trick.

"Thank you my dear! You are saving Equestria!" Rarity said unamused, "And tell me how selling you fabric, that your probably going to rip or tear, going to save Equestria?" Trick just smiled.

"Exactly!" Trick said and blasted out the door before Rarity could question further.

"Well he's an interesting fellow." Shadow said walking out of the shade, becoming visible once more. Shadow didn't want to mention that he knew who Trick was.

"Yes, interesting, that's what he is." Rarity said, she didn't want to be rude in front of shadow and say bad things about ponies.

"So Shadow, I need to finish these dresses. I'll be down in a while, until then... " Rarity hoofs him a list and bits, "Can you be a dear and go get these for me?"

"Sure, I'd love to help." Shadow said and walked out.

Author's Note

Brawler facts #1: there are multiple times of brawlers, 99percent of them had come from a bad past. 75percent has demons inside or on them, 20percent has a spirit of some kind in or on them, and the remaining five percent is human.

Brawler database: a Shadow brawler can use the darkness as a weapon or a shield. It's one of the most trickiest to control without a demon or spirit of some kind. They can also travel through the dark gate by entering a shady or dark area and appear in another shady or dark area anywhere in the world. Though doing that is actually extremely dangerous.
