Gods of death, darkness and picking up chicks

A pony to expect the  

Jaden walked around in a dark room with a big throne, with skulls and fire spitting out from everywhere on it.

He was waiting for someone to walk in and take it's place to tell him why he is where he is.

But suddenly, a familiar voice popped up.

"Have a seat" the voice said.

"You ain't gonna use it?" He asked.

"That throne isn't mine, It's yours" the voice said.

Jaden walked up to the throne and sat down in it.

"Comfortable?" The voice asked.

"Yeah" he laughed "I've always wondered how it was like to sit in one of these"

"I now believe that you want some questions answered, right?" The voice asked.

"Yeah, at first I wanna know why I'm here." He said" I know that I'm here for a reason but why?"

"Your life was all about living in passion to make changes, you're now in power to make those changes, then you can choose to stay or leave.

"So it's all a test" he said" This whole thing is just a bucking test"

"No, there's so much more, if you decide to quit then so does this world" the voice said.

" Then... game on" Jaden said" I'm not the quitter anyway"

"No more questions?" The voice asked.

"Not now, later" he answered.

"Then I will now send you back in full health" the voice said.

And darkness surrounded Jaden once more.

"We did everything we could" he heard someone say.

Jaden opened his eyelids and stared upon a roof which looked like the stars themselves.

He felt an atmosphere of a hospital and found himself lying down in a hospital bed.

He saw a crowd of 7 ponies, 2 unicorns 2 pegasies 2 normal ponies and one of his own kind, heading towards him.

Jaden recognized 2 of them and decided to prank them all by give them the scare of their life.

Jaden closed his eyelids and breath shortly through his nose so it wouldn't be seen that he was breathing.

He felt the presence of the crowd, around him and the some of the ponies started talking.

" Too bad, wasting the life of a really handsome colt" he heard a Texas accent female said and Jaden had to resist to put a smile on his face, apparently he was a chick magnet where ever he was.

" He saved my life, and I didn't even get a chance to really thank him." The voice was apparently from the mare he saved earlier, remembering that she was quite cute for being a pony.

" He did what I couldn't and..." a voice, that was quite masculine but still very girly, said but Jaden couldn't handle it any longer.

"And it felt awesome" he interrupted her.

Jaden heard a gasp from each and everyone around him as he grinned and looked upon everyone.

"Gotcha" he chuckled.

" How is it possible?" The biggest pony of them all asked.

"I'm used to pain like that so it was nothing" he said, still smiling after the success of the prank.

"But...How long have ya' been awake?" A orange mare, with a blond mane and a cowboy hat, asked.

"Long enough for 'really handsome colt'" Jaden said, with a sly grin on his face, and saw how the orange pony looked away while blushing.

Jaden looked at everyone in the room, with a shocked look on their faces, and he couldn't help but to burst out in laughter.

"What's so funny?" The cyan pegasi he helped earlier said, angry to his sudden reaction.

"Your faces" Jaden said between the chuckles, pointing on them all with his hoof.

Everyone else looked at each other, then they joined in laughing at their previous faces.

" Twilight, can you and your friends wait outside for a moment?" The big same-race pony asked the unicorn with every kind of purple on her body" I need to speak with this young colt alone"

"Okay, your majesty" the unicorn responded as the 6 smaller ponies exited the room.

"Let me guess, you want some questions answered princess?" Jaden asked.

" Yes, I would like to know how a alicorn hasn't been seen until now?" the princess asked" but you can start with your name".

"Well my name is Jaden and ..." Jaden said and started thinking through a good lie,"...and I have lived as an exile through my life because of my talent.

"Really?" The princess asked" Then what is your talent"

"Darkness" he said" But also light within darkness"

"But you helped our town from destruction" the princess said "How are you so different from your talent?"

" I don't like destruction on harmless creature, the darkness is how different I am from everyone, I like being helpful but also to kick flank."

They both watched each other carefully, both waiting for something to happen.

" Well, I want to thank you for saving mine and my sisters city." The princess suddenly said gratefully."Without your help, we wouldn't be able to save Canterlot and if there's anything we can do to help then you just have to ask."

"Just give me a house somewhere and I'll be fine" Jaden said.

" We actually have a free house in Ponyville" the princess said " If you want it, you can have it"

"I take it" he said" Seems quite nice if it's called Ponyville"

"My young student can probably make you feel like you fit in" the princess said.

"The purple unicorn?" he asked" She seemed quite nice"

" More than nice, I can tell by the way you looked at her"the princess said with a sly grin on her face.

"Um... I...well" Jaden stuttered.

The princess gave a small laugh to his reaction but then turned around and said:

" You should probably get some sleep, when you're at full health then you can talk to me and I'll send you some guards to escort you to Ponyville"

Jaden tried to get up a argument, but ended up with a big yawn and decided to follow her advice.

He had used up much power and if he ever was going to get out of this place, it would be good to be at full energy.

He closed his eyelids and let darkness, once again, surround him.

Later at the day

Jaden woke up by the sound of birds singing outside.

He saw that he was still in a hospital bed, but instead of feeling any pain from the fight the last day, he felt like to try out his new abilities.

He jumped of the bed and started to walk towards the exit, without any trouble to walk as he normally would have after a great fight.

"What are you doing?" a voice asked chocked.

"Crap, guess I'm caught" Jaden said and turned to a, chocked, male unicorn with a detoscop.

"You fell 50 feet through the air after fighting a giant dragon" the unicorn said "you shouldn't be able to stand, hay even live"

"But here I am" Jaden said with a convincingly tone " I'm fine and I can leave the hospital, all I need is a note with permission and I'll be out of your hair"

"B...but...you...eh... okay, give me a second" the unicorn stuttered before leaving the room.

After only a matter of time, the unicorn returned with a piece of paper.

"Here it is and no offense now, but I hope we never have to see you here again" the unicorn said.

"Sorry but I can't make a promise like that, have a good day" Jaden said and walked out of the room.

He couldn't help but to smile at the whole atmosphere, the biggest city he had ever seen was made by ponies.

All houses was made by beautiful marble, the clean air and the floral around just made this city the most beautiful place in this world.

"Damn, those ponies ain't so bad at all" he thoughed "They built a city without making a mistake about fabrics"

After taking in the beautiful city, Jaden decided to walk up to the princess and ask for that escort to Ponyville.

He started to gallop to the throne room meanwhile admiring the decoration on the walls, a little to much so that he didn't notice when he galloped right into a familiar, butter yellow Pegasus.

"Oh horseapples, I'm sorry, are you alright?" Jaden asked, concerned.

"I...I'm alright and don't blame yoursel..." the Pegasus said as she rose her head and looked upon him with her green eyes"...it...it's you... the colt that saved c..Canterlot"

"Yeah, it's me and you are?" Jaden asked her.

"I...i...I'm Fl..Flutter shy" she said very quietly but Jaden could still hear her name.

"Well nice to meet you Mrs. Fluttlershy, my name is Jaden, you live around here?" he asked

"N..no b..but I visit here often" Fluttershy said. " I live in a place called Ponyville."

"Hey, that's where my new house is" Jaden said and placed his hoof around her shoulder " It's cooler to move someplace if you already know someone living there"

Fluttershy blushed at having a strangers hoof around her, but the fact that it was a really handsome colt made her whole face go even more red.

" Hey, are you alright? Your face is all red." Jaden said as he took his hoof of her shoulder.

"It...it's nothing" Fluttershy said with a lowered head.

"Well alright then, I'm gonna have to run but I'll see you around." Jaden said as he started to gallop towards the throne room, leaving Fluttershy alone with her heart beating faster than when she got lost in Everfree forest.

"Where's the princess?" Jaden asked a guard"I need to speak with her"

"Who? Luna or Celestia" the guard said.

Jade then realized from his mind that there were two alicorn princesses in control, he also remembered that Luna was the princess who raised the moon and Celestia was the princess who raised the sun.

"Celestia is it" he said.

" She's in the garden" the guard said.

"Thanks, keep up the good work" Jaden said and started to walk, but then stopped with a sheepish grin on his face"Eh...how do you get there?"

"Just walk through the corridor and then turn right, open the door and you should be there" the guard explained.

" Thanks again" Jaden said and started to walk across the corridor.

He was just about to walk to the right when he saw the big white alicorn walk through the door.

"There you are" Jaden said and kneeled" I've been looking around for you"

"I can see that you recovered very quickly" Celestia said." I wasn't expecting it, but I guess I've got to expect the unexpected with you"

" Yeah you can say that." Jaden chuckled" I'm here for that ride to Ponyville."

"Just follow me" Celestia said.

She started to walk straight over the hall and Jaden followed her.

Meanwhile they walked, they had conversations about Ponyville and about somethings that had happened in Equestria, the last few years.

It didn't take long time until they were talking to two pegasus guards and he jumped on a cart that was bond to the guards.

He received a bag with bits, for a startup in his new life.

"Make sure to stay safe" Celestia said.

"Can't promise that, but you take care too." Jaden answered as the guards galloped into the air.

The trip was pretty much about Jaden taking naps and trying to make conversations with the guards.

But after a while, they had reached a quite small village.

"So this is Ponyville?" He said to himself."Not bad"

"Spike, I'm home" Twilight screamed as she entered the library inside her tree-house.

" Oh, hey twi" the purple scaled, baby dragon said as he walked out of the kitchen" How was the trip to Canterlot?"

" Pretty good, except from that a dragon almost destroyed the entire city" she said.

"Really, how did you stop him?" Spike asked curiously.

" A new alicorn, somehow defeated it" Twilight said.

" Another alicorn?" Spike asked" But noone has ever seen another alicorn than the princesses for, like thousand years."

" I know" Twilight said" But I'm never going to forget his black mane, with stripes of gold and his blue eyes that was as blue as night itself"

Spike stared at his friend who was slowly drifting away while she was describing the alicorn.

He recognized the way she was describing that alicorn, because that was exactly how detailed he would describe his crush on Rarity, and a smile grew upon his face.

"Sounds like somepony has a crush on another" he said.

"WHAT, NO I'M NOT IN LOVE WITH..." She screamed out with a hughe blush on her face.

" Twi, I've been talking about Rarity and describing her so many times, you don't think I would recognize it?" Spike said in a low voice to calm her down, she was in the first part of accepting and it was denial.

" Well..uh..okay maybe I have a little crush on that colt, but it doesn't matter" Twilight said" He's probably helping Canterlot to rebuild or chasing down that dragon who tried to destroy Canterlot..." "Or maybe he's outside and walking around" Spike said as he saw the alicorn through a window.

"WHAT?" Twilight panicked" HE'S RIGHT OUTSIDE?"

Twilight ran straight up to her bedroom meanwhile Spike bursted out in laughter, after all the time Twilight had to stand with him always talking about Rarity and now the tables were turned.

"This is going to be hilarious" Spike said to himself.
