When the guard came to tell the visitors that their rooms were ready they each decided on who would room with who.

Twilight insisted on Asura rooming with her and Spike because she had may questions that couldn't wait.

Rarity and Applejack voted on keep an eye on the CMC.

Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie all decided to room up so they could chat a bit.

Asura, Spike and Twilight entered a room and closed the doors behind them.

"Sorry about insisting like that, but I have so many questions about your world!" Twilight couldn't help but bounce slightly.

"…its…its nothing…" Asura hadn't looked Twilight in the eye since they arrived in the room and both her and Spike were starting to worry.

"Um…Asura? What's wrong?" Twilight inched closer and Asura raised his head slowly and sighed.

"Forgive me…whenever I listen to you speak, I think of my wife…you sound…and feel just like her…but…you're not her at all." Asura turned to her and smiled with sadness echoing in his eyes. "Again, forgive me."

Twilight smiled warmly and shook her head. “There’s no need to apologize. I’m sorry for your loss however. I bet she was wonderful.”

Asura smiled brightly and a faint blush came over him. “Yes she was, she was so kind, yet stern. I spoiled my daughter and she would always berate me for it…but our love was true…then…”

Spike was content on listening but upon hearing him speak about his wife a certain part of Asura’s story came to mind. “…Sergei…”

Asura bit back a fit of anger trying to surface. “Yes…I doubt it was in Deus’ plan to have her killed but…that doesn’t matter now…”

Spike waddled over and poked Asura’s foreleg, the tall stallion looked down, “We’re they always like that? I mean were they all so…cruel?”

Asura thought for a moment and laid on the carpet beneath him. “Not all of they. Sergei wasn’t as…insane…but when our battles with the Gohma his mind began to fall apart. Kalrow and Wyzen never changed but I hardly knew either of them.” Asura stopped and closed his eyes. “Yasha…”

Twilight trotted over and laid down beside Asura, “Your brother-in-law? …he also betrayed you right? But why, when he knew they’d need your daughter’s power and that it would harm her?”

Spike crossed his arms. “And what about his sister? Why would he work with Sergei after that?”

“Yasha was a fool at the time, always thinking too hard. Never living the moment or actually seeing what was truly in front of him. As for why…he knew…but chose to do nothing because he wondered if what they doing was ‘right’…just thinking about it…” The temperature in the room began to rise and Twilight looked at Asura worried hoping he would calm down.

Thankfully he did, Asura seemed to be conscious of the fact that his anger indeed had an affect on the area around him.

Twilight smiled. “You seem to be in control of your anger. Before you made it sound like you had no control at all.”

Asura shook his head. “I didn’t, my rage was untamed. It kept me alive but I refuse to let my rage control me again.”

“Speaking of being alive.” Spike spoke up. “Twelve thousand years of being… ya know, and then another five hundred? How’d you come back the first time not to mention the second?”

Asura chuckled. “I was just...angry…”

Twilight and Spike looked at each other with worried expressions.

Asura yawned slightly. “It has been some time since I’ve last consciously slept. I’ll give you more answers tomorrow, Twilight.”

Twilight nodded and climbed into the guest bed. “Sleeping on the floor Spike?”

Spike looked at Asura and climbed into bed with Twilight. With the lights in the room put out, silence crept over the room.

A moment earlier with Applejack, Rarity and the CMC.

“Ah can’ believe yall would jus up an follow us like that!” Applejack firmly berated Applebloom and her two friends. “What were ya thinkin?”

“Well we foun’ Mr. Asura so we wanted to know about ‘im too…” Applebloom looked down.

“We didn’t mean to cause any trouble or anything, were just wanted to know about him…” Sweetie Belle stated and looked at Scootaloo who was looking at the door.

Rarity picked up on Scootaloo’s anxiousness. “Scootaloo? Darling what ever is the matter? Are you worried about Asura?”

Scootaloo nodded and looked up at Rarity. “But I’m not too sure why…”

Rarity rubbed her chin. “Now that I think about it…he does seem to give off a very…comfortable vibe. Like he’ll be there to protect you should anything go wrong.”

“Well ah reckon he does. If anyone takes a good look at ‘im that’s what they’ll see.” Applejack offered as she began tucking Applebloom into bed.

“Its sort of like that…” Scootaloo sighed. “But its more…like…like…I can depend on him…that he can help me find something I lost…I don’t know…I’m tired.” Scootaloo pulled herself on the bed alongside Sweetie Belle and laid down with her eyes shut.

“Ah reckon you all could use a bit o’ sleep. Us included.” Applejack smiled at Rarity as the two found their own places to sleep.

In Pinkie, Rainbow and Fluttershy’s room.

Rainbow paced back and forth in front one of the guest beds. “Grr…how could they…that’s not right at all…how anypony can …”

Pinkie and Fluttershy looked at each other. Pinkie Pie hopped in front of her. “What’s wrong?”

“What’s wrong? I’ll tell you alright! How can anypony just do that to somepony! First they make him fight that Vilinter thing!”

Fluttershy raised her hoof. “Vlitra…”

“Yeah that thing! Then they just up and dump him off in that underworld thing because they needed an excuse to act all high and mighty!” Rainbow walked past Pinkie and continued her pacing. “Then when he wakes up and fights to protect a village what do they do? They put him against a giant fat thing and k-,” Rainbow shivered, “Sent him back to…what was it called?”

“Um…its called Naraka…” Fluttershy spoke up again.

“Yeah that!” Rainbow Dash threw her hooves in the air.

“But he did find that nice girl when he woke up from his 500 hundred year nap! He said she looked and even acted like his daughter too!” Pinkie Pie hopped around her and smiled.

“Yeah but the way he looked when he talk about her makes me think something bad happened…” Rainbow thought for a moment.

“Maybe things get better? …or they m-might get worse…” Fluttershy’s eyes dilated at the fear of something bad happening to the little girl Asura met.

“Don’t worry! Maybe it won’t be so bad…right?” Pinkie stopped hopping and looked at the floor beneath her.

The night passed and upon morning Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo were met with a disappointing surprise. Big Mac had come for them to bring them back to Ponyville, apparently hearing from somepony that they were seen on the train tailing after Twilight and her friends. After the four of them left Luna, Celestia, Twilight and her friends and Asura gathered in the throne room.

Celestia took a head count and nodded. “Shall we continue your tale Asura?”

Asura nodded. “I left off waking up and dealing with Kalrow right?”

Pinkie nodded quickly and munched away at her popcorn.

Asura sighed and closed his eyes. “…after crashing back on the planet I met with my previous master Augus…”

Rainbow blinked. “Oh yeah…he was on the bad guy’s side…”

“Not necessarily…you see Augus lived for battle. All he wanted to do was fight, no matter who or what it was. He just didn’t care, what drove him was his lust for fighting strong opponents, regardless of gender, age, or connection…” Asura opened his eyes. “And after talking with him…we fought…”

Twilight wondered for a moment what it would be like to fight the person that taught you in the past and shivered.

Asura continued. “It proved to be another devastating battle. We tore the moon and planet apart somewhat.” Luna swallowed upon hearing that he had harmed the moon in some way during his battle. “I won by cutting him with the broken piece of his own sword…but I didn’t get away unfazed…” He looked at his forelegs and chuckled. “Old fool made me lose them a second time.”

Luna and Celestia looked at each other and back at Asura. “Is something funny Asura?”

Asura looked up at Celestia and smiled. “No but…it’s strange that even though I said I wasn’t like him…that I wasn’t fighting for the sake of fighting…in another time he was right…” He sighed and his eyes took on a familiar sadness. “Then the Gohma appeared…a large number of them. I took Augus’ broken blade but before I left the girl came to me to check on me. But I left her behind to fight…she was rather mad at me when I left.”

Rarity giggled. “I would be too if I was left behind.”

Asura nodded. “Yes but I did what needed to be done. After another battle I entered a quick sleep. Recovering from my wounds I think. But I awoke quickly and met the girl again.” Asura suddenly stopped and gritted his teeth. “She wanted to help me get my arms fixed…so we went back her village and…” His anger began to slither out of his conscious guard.

All in attendance back away slightly as his body began to heat up. “Olga…she attacked the village…at first it was just ground troops…but she didn’t stop. She didn’t stop!” The floor cracked slightly from under his hooves as he fought back his rage. “In a weak attempt to destroy me she….she…” Asura’s anger slowly subsided as he sat on his haunches.

Twilight blinked and slowly walked over to Asura. “A-Asura?” Her eyes grew to the size of dish plates. “No…she didn’t…”

Celestia and Luna trotted over to Asura and were shocked by the sight Twilight bore witness to. Asura was crying.

“I couldn’t save one girl…I watched and could do nothing!” Asura’s tear streamed freely. “I found her dead…and it was then that all that had built inside me…was finally let out.” He closed his eyes and his tear stopped. “I let the anger loose and turned into a beast. A monster fueled by my rage, my sorrow and my regret…”

Fluttershy and Rarity cried relentlessly and Rainbow tried her hardest to fight her own. Pinkie’s popcorn was drenched in her tears and Applejack had her hat to her heart crying.

Luna, Celestia and Twilight all cried for Asura’s pain. Simply feeling it through his aura, as if they had seen it themselves.

Twilight’s friends all came closer and watch Asura look to the ceiling with a sorrowful look in his eyes. “I destroyed things…I don’t remember the details but I was so filled with rage…it took a blast from the orbital Karma cannon to stop me…and even then I did not stop. I’m not sure how but Sergei met his end.” Asura closed his eyes and smiled. “Then Yasha stopped being a fool…”

Luna blinked. “Yasha was the man that betrayed you, his sister and his niece correct? Why are you so at peace when you speak of him?”

Asura sighed. “It’s difficult…Yasha was always my rival. We fought and fought but we were close nevertheless. He was always my brother.” He shook his head. “Regardless…Yasha and myself took to the skies and went after Deus to put a stop to their foolish plans once and for all. Fighting Deus was no small feat. He was strong and relentless, but together we beat him and saved Mithra from more pain…then Vlitra finally showed its true power…”

Rainbow gawked openly. “Seriously! But what happened the first time you fought it?”

Asura looked at the flying Rainbow. “I told you. I was unable to destroy it the first time. Only halt it. But this time I settled things. After Mithra woke up, Yasha and I headed out and fought Vlitra. We would have lost if not for her, she prayed for our safety and gave us strength to fight and win.”

Celestia smiled. “So you defeated the monster living in the planet and stopped the Gohma correct?”

“No…” Asura looked down and sighed.

Luna scoffed. “What more could there be? You defeated your enemies and save your daughter and the planet!”

Asura nodded. “We too thought it was over…for a time…but I had forgotten something important…”

Fluttershy thought for a moment and her eyes widened. “The spider?”

Asura nodded. “Yes. After coming back to Mithra we thought everything was settled but Olga came from under our noses and took Mithra hostage. However before she could do anything that spider appeared and did away this her himself. He called my daughter his ‘perfect vessel’ and took over her body.

It seems I was being helped repeated by it, and only then did we realize the spider was a being known as Chakravartin. The creator of the universe we lived in, along with the planets and ourselves.”

All in attendance stared at him then at each other. Luna took the unspoken bullet. “D-does that mean…”

Asura shook his head. “No just my universe. I do not think he had anything to do with this place.” After a round of relief he continued. “He told me that he had done everything in search for an heir of sorts to take over as the creator. All the pain and fights were just a test…it still sounds foolish now.”

Celestia coughed inwardly and turned her attention back to Asura.

“I was less fuel with rage and more focused then and barely did nothing. But after Yasha place the Mantra Reactor and…gave me the power I needed to save Mithra…I went and fought Chakravartin for one last time…” Asura looked back at the mark on his flank. “I won…at the cost of my life…I will not bore you with the unnecessary details…”

Celestia placed a comforting hoof on Asura’s shoulder and he looked at her with his red eye hiding a deep pain. “Thank you Asura…for sharing your tale with us…”

Luna nodded and put a hoof to her chest. “After your long battles and restless life, you deserve as much rest as you could possibly want. That is if you wish to settle down?”

Asura looked to the roof of the chamber and closed his eyes. “For so long I fought, with myself…against others…and now that there is nothing left…I do not know…”

Pinkie’s hair puffed up as she bounced over to Asura, “Then trying different things! There must be something besides fighting that you enjoy, right?”

Asura looked at the energetic pony beside him and thought. “I do not remember…it’s been a long time since I last did anything but fight…”

Twilight and her friends looked at each other and swapped worried expressions.

“However…I think…it is time I tried…”

Okay from this point on I have no ideas at all. I know at some point he'll fight some dragons but that's it.
