"Kept you waiting... huh?"

Ed's eyes widened as he heard the reference. It was from a game from his world, one that he and his teacher played well. Ed was 100 percent sure this was the one, the Teacher he grew up with, whom he trained with, whom he killed with his own bare hands. And here she was, standing in front of him again with the same red sheathed katana and little black ribbon attached to the handle. He thought he left it on that dreaded island, yet it's appearance wasn't important, what was was staring right at him with a smirk on her face. Ed's mind was racing for ideas, possibly theories and reasons, anything to help him understand why his Teacher was standing across from him alive and healthy. He slowed down time with his eyes giving him more time to think, he thought and thought, and the only thing that crossed his mind was...

Ed slowly backed up to the elevator door as he used his right hand to hit the switch behind him keeping the gun aimed forward with his left. The door opened and he waved the two kids to come out as he felt them move to his side. He slowly peaked to both sides making sure they were okay. Spike looked a little worried as he was shaking a bit, Chrysalis on the other hand looked like she was scanning the woman with the way she was looking at his Teacher. Ed looked back to Izumi as he slowly lowered the gun.

"Can this wait?" Ed asked simply.

His teacher raised an eyebrow as did the others around her. Ed looked to Spike really fast as he nodded towards to the limo in the parking lot. Spike got the gist as he went to go get it leaving him and Chrysalis with the group. He turned to his Teacher again as he tossed the gun to her. She caught it without hesitation as she now held it at her side.

"We just met and you want to go?" Izumi asked as she titled her head a bit.

"It's not you it's me right now, you see I've been in a bad mood of sorts, I haven't really eaten in a good week, and there's also a few other things that have been irking me lately, I won't go into specifics but I just wanna eat right now and then go to sleep okay, I promise to talk to you soon okay?" Ed said while rubbing the back of his head.

Izumi just stared at Ed before letting out a hearty laugh. "HAHAHAHA... okay Edward, I'll come find you in a couple days, or sooner if you want"

"Awesome, oh and before I forget" Ed said as he snapped his fingers.

A little orb appeared out of thin air as it popped and his phone fell out of it. He let it fall into his hands as he clicked it on and looked at the bars. No signal it said as he snapped his fingers again watching the bars come to life as he now connected it to this world's satellite. He made a small smile as he looked over to his teacher who was staring at him wide eyed.

"I'm part god, Draconequus to be exact, either way my phone number is [???] so feel free to text me so I can add you" Ed said as he slipped the phone into his pocket.

He looked again and saw that the others around his Teacher looked a little nervous, some where whispering but as the Limo pulled up he dismissed trying to hear what they were saying as he opened the door for Chrysalis. She got in casually making room for Ed to get in but he stopped as he looked at his teacher over the roof of the limo.

"Hey can I borrow that for a while" Ed said as he pointed at the sword hoping she would know what he was pointing at.

She shook her head all the while smiling with her eyes closed before looking to him and tossing the sword. Ed caught it as she spoke up.

"Keep it, it was your's anyways" Izumi said as she put a hand to her hip still holding the gun in her other.

"Thanks" Ed said as he nodded a bit before entering the car and shutting the door.

With that Spike drove off leaving them in the dust as he made no effort to slow down going down the levels. As they got onto the street Ed moved to the window separating the driver and the passengers and put a hand on Spike's shoulder. He jumped a little at the contact.

"It's okay Spike calm down, they weren't gonna hurt us in the first place and were defiantly in the safe now" Ed said in a soothing tone calming Spike down as Ed noticed they were driving slower now.

"Who were those people Ed, who was that woman you were talking to as well?" Spike asked as he loosened his tie around his neck getting comfortable.

"Yes Ed I would like to know as well, the emotions that flew out from your body were sudden and felt old, they felt mixed to say the least" Chrysalis said as she moved closer to Ed joining the chat.

"Wait what are you talking about Chrysalis?" Spike asked her, wondering what it was she meant.

She seemed to have forgotten that Spike didn't know of her powers, she quickly waved it off saying. "Not right now, I'll tell you later"

Spike just remained silent as a sign of 'sure okay' and 'Ed you can speak now'. With that Ed sighed.

"That woman, was, or 'is' I should say, my Teacher, she took me in and raised me, as for those other people I can just safely say they were with her"

"So what did she want then... your 'Teacher' " Chrysalis asked as she folder her legs and leaned back crossing her arms as well.

"Honestly... I don't know" Ed said as he let out a puff of air and fell onto the long seat laying down.

"As for how she's alive, it's the exact same Izumi I killed on the island, same sword and everything" Ed thought as he glanced at the sword in back as it stood up against the seat.

"So how is she here then, magic, or something else completely" Ed wondered as he closed his eyes and began to fall into slumber.

Just then he felt a vibrating sensation and groaned as he pulled out his phone. He looked at it before swiping the screen and reading the message that popped up.

[It was good to see you again Edward] The message said as Ed knew who it was and added his Teacher to his contacts.

He was gonna reply but thought about something in the process.

"These powers I have are dangerous, the fact that I teleported my phone from Equestria to this world is beyond me, are my power limitless, is there anything I can't do, should I find out if I can make a portal back to Equestria, should I find out how powerful I am?"

The last line of his thought disturbed him, he shouldn't think like that in the first place, he wasn't a god that could shape the world or do whatever he pleased, he was a human. But he had this powers none the less. What he did with them was up to him, yet, the more he used them, the less human he felt, and the less sane he felt as well. He shook his head as he quickly snapped his fingers making two orbs appear in the limo, they popped as Ed caught his wallet and his little notebook, he needed his I.D. of course, that he could magic to look like any I.D. in this world. And his notebook to take notes and draw just in case he had time to write in it.

Content with his old items he looked and saw Chrysalis staring at him. Her eyes weren't curious or fascinated. In fact, she looked like she was trying to figure out what exactly he was, she wanted to ask something he could see it, as she went to open her mouth he cut her off.

"I don't know what I am?" Was all he said as he gave a sad smile.

She paused before looking away pretending to be uninterested. He smiled at that, before looking to his phone again as he remembered he was texting his Teacher back. He tried to think of something to say, but with the way he was feeling right now all he could say was.

[Welcome back from the Dead]
