The Secret and The Promise

"YOU WANT US TO DO WHAT!?" A mare with purple fur, a horn, and raven black mane with a pink and purple stripe in it the same as her tail yelled at two women both with a horn and wings as they sat on their thrones. One was white as snow with a tri-colored mane that matched her tail the other was a dark blue with a mane that matched a star covered night sky.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, oh man that's rich. Nice joke you two." A stallion with black fur, wings that matched his, black mane with red zig-zags in it the same as his tail that could really use a bushing said laughing his ass off. "But no really what is her test."

"Like Luna and I said you two are going to a small town called Ponyville to make friends." The white one said looking at the two.

"Yes and you my pupil will take time off from knight training and go with her." the dark blue one barked looking at the stallion and his face went from laughing to a wide eyed look. "Led you have been my pupil since you were five the same as my sister Celestia's pupil Twilight. You've grown so much but everypony even you need time to get some rest."

"Well said Luna. Twilight my most faithful student, there is only so much you can learn on your own, you need friends so you can grow and learn about the world outside the castle. So you two will live there permanently and send us a scroll through your assistant Spike the dragon, and Led you will send one to Luna through your assistant Ut the T-rex." Celestia said as the two assistants walked in one was a purple and green dragon, the other was a black and white T-rex.

"I take it we have no say in this?" Led asked as Twilight smacked him in the back of the head and knocking him down. "What the hell was that for Twi?!" He asked sitting up and rubbing where she hit him.

"They're the princesses so we have t do what they say no matter how much we don't want to." She whispered to him as they where dismissed. On the way back to their room Led had one of his visions.

"A nightmare will appear and the harmony will be reviled." He said in a echoing tone and stumbling over but to be caught by Twilight, who was looking at him for an explanation. "I got nothing this one didn't show me a thing unlike the other ones." He said as she sat him down on her bed.

"Well let's get packed so we can leave right away,OK." Twilight said as Led just nodded but when she went to get her bags he put a worried look on his face for what he had seen of her future. "You gonna get packed or what?" She teased him and making him get t work on packing to move to their new home in Ponyville.

Later that Night

"I can't be leave they got rid of my bed before we left." Led growled laying with his back to Twilight's in her bed, witch made them both blush like made.

"W-well at l-least mine was big enough for us b-both." She stuttered as he rolled over to see her. "What are you doing?" She questioned rolling over to see his ruby red eyes looking right into her light purple eyes with made them blush even more, but i was short lived as Led moved in for the kill. He planted a long kiss right on her lips, witch at first surprised her but so after she closed her eyes and enjoined it. Once the kiss was broke the two where gasping for air. "That was my first kiss and it was from my best friend." She said as he put his arm around he and pulling her into a hug.

"Well this friend, always had a crush on you, ever since the first time he laid eyes on you." He admitted to her as an awing could be heard from the floor.

"So cute and gross too." Rex said looking at the two making their faces go a bright red.

"Ya, but that what love does to people." Spike said get Led shot out of bed. "And that what happens when you make a unicorn mad."

"Ow, can we just go to sleep now I'm sick of getting hit today." Led growled crawling back in with her but this time he stayed facing the other way.As he said this Twilight's eyes shot open causing her to wake up.

Later on through the night Twilight got out of bed but slowly enough to not wake Led, Spike, or Ut. So she walked to the library where she saw Princess Celestia looking through an old book and crying. "Princess are you ok?" Twilight asked making her jump a bit and slam the book closed.

"Yes Twilight I'm ok." She said whipping the tears off her face, but as she did Twilight walked to her and read the book title. Royal Family Tree

"Why are you crying over your family tree?"

"I think it's time I let you in on a really big secret." Celestia told opening the book to a page that made Twilight's eyes go as big as dinner plates. There on the page was a picture of a boy with saggy black and red mane and tail, with ruby red eyes and just above him was Celestia and next to har was something she didn't know it had a silver mane and no tail, ruby red eyes, and a caption that read. "Missing" "Twilight Sparkle do not tell Led this for any reason, I'm his mother, and the great hero Dominick Scratch is his father. Please don't tell him, I'm not asking as a princess but as a friend, please do not tell him." She pleaded closing the book.

"You got in Princess Celestia your secret is safe with me." Twilight told her nodding, but unaware to them both Luna was on the other side of a bookshelf and she over heard the whole conversation.

Ponyville

The next day Twilight and Led both woke up to the smell of burning pancakes. "Princess Celestia should really leave the cooking to you Led." Twilight yawned as he cracked his neck and back at the same time. "Are you Led or the other one?" She asked getting up.

"Who do you think." He growled in a mean, deep voice, "and the name's Sin remember it next time girl." He said putting Led jacket on and walked out.

"He's an ass, but with out him Led would have...." She shock her head trying to get rid of the thought of what happened thirteen years age. "Hey Sin wait up." She said running to him. "Thank you." She told him making him give her and odd look.

"For what?" He asked. "For saving him thirteen years ago." She said as he gave a little chuckle and turned into Led.

"How long was he out?" Led asked looking at a happy Twilight. "And why are you so happy?"

"About ten minutes and to have a good friend like you." She giggled making him blush.

"You remembered that day didn't you?" Led asked hiding his eyes with the front of his main. "Well don't I'm fine now."

"I know but you changed a lot from that accented, I miss them too." Twilight said under her breath. 'It's been thirteen years since the accented that caused Led his only family he knew about, he lost his uncle Zed, and his uncle's summon Golem, and the day he came into his life.' Twilight thought as the two walked down the hall to the small of burning food.

"Good morning you two. Sleep well?" Celestia asked burning pancakes.

"Your a thousand plus and you can't cook better then a sixteen year old, that's bad sis." Luna chuckled taking a sip of her coffee. "Oh and Led if your gonna dream thing like that don't let me in."

"I don't know what you mean and when do we leave?" Led asked scratching the back of his head.

"As soon as you open your moving out presents." Celestia said happily as Luna pulled out two neatly wrapped boxes and handing them to them.

"You two shouldn't have." Twilight sheepishly said as Led set his on the table and stared remaking breakfast. "Thank you Led." She said as he sat a plate of pancakes in front of her and sitting next to her.

"Aren't you gonna eat anything Led?" Luna asked as he just ran a hand through his mane.

"Not hungry, and thank you both but....... I'll be in the garden come get me before we leave ok Twilight." He mumbled as he walked out of the room.

"What's wrong with him?" Luna asked as Celestia gave her a dirty look. "Oh it's that day of the year isn't it."

"I'm going to get his so we can leave, now. The faster we leave the faster he's back to being him." Twilight sadly said walking to the garden but she couldn't find him.

"Up here Twilight." Led murderer but loud enough for her to hear.

"Why are you laying on a tree branch?" She asked giggling at the sight of her best friend in a tree. "Have you ever tried to touch the heavens?" He asked razing his hand to the sky. "Because I have meany time, but I always felled."

"Come down here Led." She ordered him when he did she slapped in right in the face. "I miss them too but it's not your fault, and here's a gift from me." She told him kissing him on the cheek, making him blush. "Now let's go."

As the two walked through the castle that they almost completely grow up in all the guards stop and slatted to the boy who climbed the ranks to be Princess Luna's student, and the girl that studied next to Princess Celestia. When two guards one in purple armor and one in red baggie clothes walked up to them they got a. "Good luck." From them both and they continued their walk to Celestia's chariot where their assistants where already there and holding their gifts.

"Open them already." Ut said tossing Led his.

"Ok,ok we will." Led answered as they opened them they started to laughing at what they got. Led got three bracelets one red, one black, and one blue. Twilight got three spell books one attack spells, one boost, and the last one healing. "Keep that last one on you at all times." Led said as they remembered all the time he over did it training with Luna.

"I will now let's go."

After all they talked about how different this town will be foe them, they finally flow off to the small town. "So where is this town anyways Spike." Twilight asked as Led and Ut sleep leaning to the left side. "About seven miles from Canterlot." He told her as she looked at the castle and city that grew smaller and smaller as they flow away.

"I'll miss it to Twi." Led told her looking back at it slipping and almost falling out. "I'm good."

Once they got to Ponyville ponies where looking at the chariot and the four passengers. "MONSTERS!!!!! A mare yelled running past as four winged sharks flow in behind them.

"Surf Wings, I got this Twi I need to burn off some steam." Led told her getting into a battle stance. "Summon Fire, summon Ice." He commanded as his left hand was covered in fire, and his right was covered in ice when the flames and ice vanished it reveal two swords. "Bring it."

As the four sharks flow at him as he ran at them dragging the blades in the dirt and swung at them cutting two apart, one bit his left but was set a blaze. "Fire, Ice dismiss. Summon Lightning!" He yelled as he was struck by a blot of lighting that covered the area in dust. When it cleared everyone saw he was holding a small pistol in this right hand. This time the shark was moving faster then ever but all they heard was a bang and the sharks body crashed into the ground in front of a filly with a gray coat, a silver mane and tail, and red framed glasses. "Dismiss. You ok?" Led asked as the filly.

"Y-ya." She said blushing while looking into his eyes. "How did you do that?" She asked him.

"What do you mean? Oh the summons, watch. Summon Wind!" He yelled as a vortex of wind covered him when it cleared he was on a green and silver board that was holding him up from the ground. "It's my special talent kid. Here you keep it." He told her jumping off and handing her the board.

"Thank you Mr..."

"Scratch, Led Scratch, and you are?"

"S-Silverspoon, but wont you miss it?" She asked as her patted her head and walked off to meet the girl he was with.

"Not at all kid." He told her making her blush more. "You two can go now we got it." The girl Led came with said lifting the boxes out of the chariot and walking to the tree house in the center of town. "Ponyville library. I guess we live her now Led." She sighed as he opened the door to see all the books and a couch with a table in front of it. "Nice place Twi."

"Ya, let's get unpacked so we can go walking around town." She eagerly said putting the boxes down and unpacking. Once they where done it was dark out witch meant Spike and Ut where fast asleep in their beds. "Well you coming let's go look around." Twilight told Led walking out the door.

A Hour of Walking Later

"Wow nice town, to bad it's doesn't have anything fun to do." Led sighed as a pink blur tackled him.

"What do you mean no fun come with me silly billy." It said pulling them along to a house that looked like a backed good. "Oh ya you two must be new in town because I kn..." She was cut off as Led put up his hand and all three of them heard a echo of a roar coming from outside of town.

"Let's go Twi, things just got fun." He told her as the two started running the pink mare was keeping up with them. When they got to the surest of the roar it was a huge demon in front of a little cottage and in front of it was a butter yellow Pegasus with a long light ping mane and tail. "LOOK OUT!"Led yelled tackling her away from a blast that put a whole in the ground where she was standing. "Summon Darkness!" He yelled as a blade  the size of the yellow mare appeared in his hands. "RUN I got this. Twilight get them to safety." He demanded her but the yellow mare ran at the demon dodging all it's attacks and planting a good punch on it that sent it flying and she just picked it up and throw it. "What the FUCK just happened!?!?!?" Led and Twilight both asked with gaping mouths.

"Wowie Fluttershy I didn't know you where that strong, actually I didn't think you where strong at all." The pink mare said as her friend rubbed her shoulder and dropping to one knee.

"I'm stronger then I look Pinkie Pie." She told her friend as the demon came back.

"You stay down I get this." Led told her and walking up to it. When the demon stomped it throw boulders and instead of dodging the boulders he bock through all of them and still sliced it clean in two. "Thing got boring again." He sighed sitting to the ground. "So that's the power of a royal knight." Fluttershy muttered as he walked up to them. "My names Led Scratch, and this beautiful girl here is Twilight Sparkle." He told them and getting kicked in the nuts by Twilight and falling to the ground.

"You know never to use that summon last time you did you almost died. I don't want to lose you yet." She told him as he lay on the ground in pain.

"So you two are the strangers in town?" A new mare asked walking with two other mares. "That's us." Led groaned getting up. To see a cyan colored mare with a rainbow mane, a orange mare with a blond mane, and a snow white mare with a well groomed purple mane. "I'm Applejack, these here are ma friends Rainbow Dash, and Rarity. I see you already meet Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy nice to meet ya." Applejack said extending her hand as Twilight shock it the same as Led.

Nightmare Reviled

"I'm heading out Twi." Led told her as she read a book on the couch. "OK, don't get in any trouble." She told him as a cyan mare tackled him through the door. "Hi Rainbow Dash, can you get off me?" He asked as she jumped off him.

"There's big trouble at the center of town, black mare, a lot of black monsters, Celestia and Luna trapped." She told them.

"Led you stay here." Twilight demanded him.

"No fucking way Twi, she trapped my master and your teacher. Even if I do take to much darkness and he gets out I WILL SAVE THEM. Even though I hate Royalty." He yelled at them and running to the center of town to see the black mare, with a mane that looked like the night sky. "LET'S CELESTIA AND LUNA GO! He yelled holding his chest. "The wall is weak and so are you." Sin growled from the inside of Led's head, and getting a evil look from the Black mare. "You will not get out, and I will stop her on my own with out you and the damn summons."

After he said that the Mare sent them both to an old castle that had two thorns and was falling apart slowly do to time and weather. "Get up so we can fight just me and you, so that I may kill you." She demanded and making him get up with her magic.

"Bring it bitch, I'll free the two ponies you trapped, and they I'm gonna give the pony I love a big kiss even if she doesn't love me back." He told her wobbling to stay on his feet. As he said this the mare made a scythe appear in her hands and ran at him. "You need my power or she'll kill you." Sin told him as he toke the blade across the chest.

"Fight, or die!" The mare yelled throwing her scythe at him. 'Just what I wanted her to do.' Led thought running past it and punching her in the gut, but she grabbed his arm and brought him down on top of her. He landed right on her chest and her face was close enough he could feel her worm breath right on his face.

'Dear Celestia, she's so soft, and pretty. Get your head in the game Led she the enemy, but damn.' Led thought as he saw her face was as red as his eyes.

"Get off me!!" She yelled and throwing him off.

"Hey you pulled me on you so zip it!!" He yelled back at her and having the back of her scythe hit him making him fly and land in her breast out cool.

"PERVERT!!!" She screamed pushing him to the ground.

"OWOWOWOWOWO!!!! That hart." Led yelled seeing a blushing mare holding his head in her lap.

"Don't take it this the wrong way, I don't like you or anything. It's just I want to kill you when your at full strength." She told him blushing and getting a chuckle out of him too. "What's so funny Pervert?" She asked as he sat up slowly and in pain.

"Your just like my master Luna, and just as pretty as Celestia in the morning sunlight. So let's make a deal If I beat you in one fight you become my friend and if you win I'm dead." He proposed to her.

"Deal." She said taking the bet and watching him wound heal really fast.

"I'm fucked." She said as he throw his hood off to revile a scared up but still amazing body. 'Oh dear Celestia, he's hot and the scares just make him better looking.' She thought staring at him. "What don't you want to fight any more?" He asked walking closer to her and seeing that she was blushing."I give you win just put your shirt and hood on your to much." She told him making her scythe disappear and him walking up and messing up her hair.

"Your not bad yourself." He cooed to her and making her blush more. As the two sit on the floor his six friends came running in.

"You ok? No series damage." Twilight worried looking him over. "Just what I already had." He told her as the rest of there new friends walked up angerly to the black mare.

"Hey, hey, stop she's my friend." Led told them getting Twilight to check his head with her magic.

"Let me get this strait the mare that trapped your master, your best friends teacher, and almost killed you and you made her your friend?!" Rainbow questioned him as they walked to the basement. "More or less. Don't worry she released them and I'll take full responsibility for her." He told them all. "OK I get that, but why are we walking to the basement?" Rainbow asked flying next to him.

"Don't you feel the magic coming from down here.

"Now that you say it I do." Applejack said as the rest of the girls except the black mare nodded their heads.

"By the way do you have a name we can call you by? If you don't mind me asking." Fluttershy asked looking in to her dragon slit ice blue eyes.

"Nightmare Moon, but you and call me Nightmare, if where friends now." She told them as they stopped in a big room with six stone orbs sat in the middle of it.
