"There base is in the Everfree Forests, Grave Mind." Variks said which made both the princesses gasp in horror.

"Surely your not serious Variks?" Luna asked.

"I am and he is there. I have seen them there." He said.

"Whats so bad about it?" Happy asked.

"The Grave Mind is the birth place of all evil." Luna said.

"And it is where all of almost all of Equestria was consumed by the evil that is sealed there." Celestia said with a look of pure hate.

"Is that all?" Natsu said.

"Natsu!" Lucy shouted at him, "How can you be so insensitive!"

"She's right Natsu. If there greatest evil is sealed there then it's a huge problem for them not a 'Is that all situation." Gray told him.

"That would of been cool and all... If you had same clothes on." Lucy told him and low behold Gray had no clothes on (except his necklace of course)

"OH GOD DAMMIT." He shouted out.

"What I mean we beat Deliora so we can beat this evil they're talking about you icy perv." He said while getting in Gray's face.

"We only beat Deliora because Ur drained its life with the iced shell you freaking idiot." Gray retaliated.

"No we beat it because I kicked it's stupid butt." Natsu said back.

"WOULD YOU TWO KNOCK IT OFF." Erza shouted at them while glaring at them.

"Eye." Both of them said.

"Anyway... So that's where they are keeping Applebloom?" Carla said.

"We need to go and save her!" Applejack said in panic.

"NO." Ykerem stopped her.

"Why? My sister is in danger and you're saying we should help her." Applejack questioned.

"That's not what I'm saying and you know it." He said

"Then pray tell what do you mean by that?" Rarity asked.

"I mean is that I'm going to save her. Alone." He said.

"WHAT!" Everyone shouted at him (except Fluttershy of course.).

"But that's crazy Ykerem." Luna said.

"My sister is right." Celestia said, "If you go alone you won't survive. Are you willing to take that risk?" She asked him with a sympathetic/motherly look. After a minute of silence he finally replied.

"It's a risk I'm willing to take." He said as he turned around and started to walk out the door but before he could get anywhere a hand stopped him, "Look I know it's risky but they were after me and because I was with Applebloom they took her as bait just to lure me and you guys out, so I have to do this. Alone." He said as he turned around to meet the person who stopped him but was met with a pair of soft lips from a certain orange furred mare. A chorus of gasps was heard, after 30 more seconds Applejack broke the kiss with a deep pink tinge painting both her and Ykerem's cheeks.

"Just make sure you and my sis come back alive okay other wise I will beat you senseless you hear me." She said while looking away. Ykerem smiled and said.

"Don't worry I will and I will bring your sister back as well and will meet you guys back here." And with that he walked out the door, as soon as he left and Applejack turned around she was immediately bombarded with questions from her friends.

'I pray that you and Applebloom make it back safely.' Celestia thought as she looked on to where Ykerem walked out.

"Sister are you alright?" Luna asked which brought Celestia out of her thoughts, "I'm concerned to but have faith in him remember he can fight on par with us." Luna finished with a smile.

"I hope you're right Luna. For his friends and Applejack's sake." She said while looking of to where Ykerem walked of to.

Deep within the Everfree Forest Ykerem was moving through the trees with the silence of a butterfly's flapping wings.

'Variks said that the Grave Mind was in the deepest part of the Everfree Forest. But where the hell is the deepest part of this damn place! It all looks the same." He thought to himself. As he wondered deeper into the forest it started to get darker and darker as rain clouds started to move in, 'Great rain. This is going slow me because it will be harder to track... their.... scent...." He thought to himself, "GOD DAMMIT! I COULD OF BEEN FOLLOWING THEIR SCENT ALL THIS TIME." He shouted out loud but luckily a crash of thunder drowned out his shouting, 'Okay okay if I'm quick I can still get a beat on their scent and Applebloom.' He sniffed the air a few times despite the rain. After a few more minutes of sniffing he finally found the Fallen's scent, 'Bingo.' He then started to sprint towards the smell but was quickly losing due to the rain masking it. After a few more minuets of running he reached a dark cave which had the Fallen's and Applebloom's scent inside.

He quickly went inside and was greeted by darkness and, oddly enough, snoring. Ykerem held his breath as he could make out the shape of a sleeping Fallen in the darkness.

"Requip." He quietly said to himself and instead of a golden like glow surrounding him a dark blue glow surrounded him. After the glow subsided he was wearing a long black cape that had a hood on it, a helmet that covered his face and had a single orange visor that covered his eyes, dark purple arm and leg pieces and a midnight blue chest piece. In his hand a swirling orb of dark blue energy formed and shifted until it was elongated in shape and transparent. (If you play Destiny then think of the hunter's nightstalker sub-class.) He carefully aimed the bow at the fallen and then pulled back on the string until a arrow of pure magic energy appeared on it, the arrow suddenly started to vibrate and then he released the tension in the bow string which sent it flaying towards his target, the sleeping Fallen.

'50 meters, 40, 30, 20, 10 andddd bingo' He thought to himself as the arrow finally hit the sleeping Fallen which woke him up with a jolt of lightning and paralyzed it, he then walked up to it and cracked his knuckles which made the Fallen sweat profoundly, "Okay you're going to tell me where your keeping Applebloom."

Back at Twilight's

"AJ you need to calm down." Rarity said.

"Yeah and your pacing is getting annoying." Rainbow told here while leaning back in a chair and reading the latest Daring Do book.

"I'm sorry but I can't help it!" She answered back.

"Yes I am quite worried about him too." Luna said with a distraught look on her face.

"Don't worry about Ykerem he's tougher then he looks." Gray said.

"Yes he is stronger then me." Erza said with a smile, " He might even be the next guild master."

"If he can stop being destructive." Carla said.

"I have no doubt that he is powerful but there are things in their that even scares me." Celestia said.

"Hey guys can hear me?" A voice said from inside their heads, the sudden voice made Rainbow Dash fall out of her chair in fright.

"Who the hey is that." She questioned

"Its me Ykerem" The voice said.

"How are can we hear you?" Twilight asked.

"Its telepathy magic." Happy said.

"A member of our guild uses it." Lucy told them.

"Is Variks still with you?" He asked.

"Yes yes I am still here, what do you need?" Variks questioned.

"I have a Fallen here and I need a translator." Ykerem told him.

"Ykerem! Have you found my sister yet?" Applejack asked.

"No not yet but I think this Fallen will tell me." He said.

"What do you need me to translate?" Variks asked.

Back to you Ykerem

"Thanks for the help Variks, I will get beck to you when I find Applebloom." He told them.

"Okay. Stay safe Ykerem." Applejack said.

"Nice chat by the way." He said to the Fallen that was behind him which was encased in ice on the wall, "Okay time to find Applebloom." He said as he walked deeper into the rabbit's hole unaware of two shadows following him. After a few more minutes of walking he came to a fork in the path, "Okay now which way did they take you Applebloom." He said as he sniffed the air but as he did he smelt two familiar scents, 'Wait a seond. That can't be' he thought. "Hey guys."

"Yeah." Lucy said.

"Where's Natsu and Happy." He asked.

"..."

"They're not there are they." He said.

"Umm... no they're not. Lucy said.

"I knew it. Natsu, Happy I know you're there so you you can come out now." He said aloud.

"See I told you he would find us." Happy said as he came flying out of the shadows.

"What! No you didn't." Natsu said back.

"Yes I did." Happy answered back.

"No you didn't."

"Yes I did."

"GUYS! It doesn't matter, what does matter is that you followed me when I specifically said not to." Ykerem said in anger.

"I know. But remember what Gramps said." Natsu said to him with a smile.

"Yeah yeah I know. Every one in Fairy Tail is family. He said.

"And family protect each other right Happy." Natsu asked Happy.

"Aye sir and that includes every one here as well." Happy said with a smile which made Ykerem chuckle.

"Yeah I guess your right." He said, "Okay you can help but you have to do exactly what I say and be QUIET. Like a ninja." He said with a finger to his mouth.

"Like..a..ninja." They both said with their heads together.

"Yes like a ninja now come on." He said as he started walking towards Applebloom's scent.

After a few more minuets of walking they came across a large cavern like area, with Applebloom lying in the middle of it.

"Applebloom!!" He said and ran towards her, when he reached her he started to lightly shake her, "Hey Applebloom wake up." He said.

"Ugh." She groaned, "Where am I? Ykerem is that you?" She asked.

"Yeah its me but we can save the thank yous for later but right now we need to get out of here." He said while looking around, "Happy take Applebloom back to Twilight's." He said.

"But what about you two?" Happy asked.

"We'll be right behind you just go." He said while helping Applebloom to her feet.

"That won't be necessary." A voice said from the shadows.

"Dammit. I was hoping we would have more time." He said with narrowed eyes.

"Yesssss and after that we can finally taste pony flesssssh." Another said in a high pitched voice

"Happy go now." Ykerem shouted at him as he pushed Applebloom towards him.

"Okay!" He said as he picked up Applebloom and activated his aera magic and flew off towards Twilight's.

"Stop them. NOW!" The final head shouted, suddenly multiple Fallen's came out of holes in the walls and ground and tried to grab Happy and Applebloom.

"Hold on Applebloom." Happy said.

"What why?" She asked.

"This is why. MACH SPEED!" He shouted and shot of at high speeds.

"Good now that they're out we can focus on taking these things down." Ykerem said to Natsu, which he then proceeded to slam his fists together.

"Oh yeah I'm fired up now." Natsu said as fire began to swirl round his body.

"Rggh. GET THEM." The large Fallen said and then dug underground to escape.

As more and more Fallen started to surround them, they both got back to back and then smiled at each other.

"Ready." Natsu said.

"Set." Ykerem replied.

"GO." They both said and charged at the Fallen.

With Happy and Applebloom

"Wait Happy. We should go back." Applebloom said while looking back at the cave.

"I can only carry one person and besides we've got a problem." Happy said.

"What's that?" Applebloom asked.

"POOF My magic's ran out." He said as his wings disappeared.

"AHHHH." They both screamed as they fell from the sky.... and into a roof.

"Ow that hurt." Applebloom said.

"Hey Applebloom." Happy said.

"Yeah."

"Where are we? He asked.

Applebloom looked up and saw that they were in a room filled with different kinds of potions and mask's with a large cauldron in the middle of it.

"Huh. This is Zecora's home." She gasped.

"Who's Zecora?" Happy asked.

"I am the one you seek and who might you be?" A voice asked from behind them. Both Happy and Applebloom turned around to find a zebra wearing golden like jewellery and cloth like cloths.

"Zecora!" Applebloom said in happiness and ran up to her for a hug.

"Nice to so you to Applebloom but I wished you gave me notice before you dropped by." She said while looking at the hole in her roof.

"Hehe. Umm oops sorry." She said with a blush of embarrassment.

"Sorry that was my fault. I was carrying her and my magic ran out and we dropped through your roof." Happy said with a hand raised.

"And who are you." Zecora asked.

"I'm Happy an Exceed." Happy told her.

"That's a nice name now tell me Applebloom why you decided to drop by." Zecora asked.

"Well it happened like this." Applebloom told Zecora all about her kidnapping, Ykerem and the others. After she finished Zecora had a mask of shock and surprise.

"Well that is an interesting tale Applebloom and suspect you want to get back to Twilight's no?" She asked.

"Yeah we should get going." Happy said.

"How about I come with you and besides I need to get a few things from Ponyville." Zecora said with a smile.

"Okay then lets go." Happy said with joy.

"Wait!" Applebloom said quickly.

"What is it?" Zecora asked.

"What about Ykerem and Natsu?" She said.

"Don't worry about them. By now they are probably blowing stuff up." He said nonchalantly.

BOOM A loud explosion echoed through the Everfree forest.

"See told you." He said.

They then started to walk back to Twilight's. After ten minuets of walking and talking they reached Ponyville and was meet with a friendly 'hello's' and 'how are you's'. After a few more minuets of walking they finally reached they finally reached the library and when they entered.

"APPLEBLOOM! OH MY GOD I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" A certain farm mare talked her sister in a crushing hug.

"I'm fine, I'm fine. Just let go." Applebloom said while trying to get Applejack off of her.

"I'm sorry but I was so worried about you." She said with tears in her eyes.

"Happy where's Ykerem and Natsu?" Lucy asked.

"We're right here." Natsu's voice said from the door way. Everyone looked and so that both Ykerem and Natsu were very worn out and out of breath.

"Geez Natsu you look like you had the crap kicked out of you." Gray said with a smirk.

"I can still kick your ass Gray." Natsu retaliated.

"Oh yeah you fiery mouth breather." Gray said in Natsu's face.

"Yeah you ice punk." Natsu said back.

"I'm okay to ya now." Ykerem said to everyone there, he then looked over to Applejack and smirked, "See told you I could do it."

"Yes you did." Applejack walked up to him.

"He loves him." Happy said with a hand over his mouth covering a smile.

"Yeah and I love her." He said and kissed Applejack.
