Jason groaned as he awoke in a black forest, he sat up and looked around to see that there was a heavy fog that inhibited his ability to see anything clearly "where am i?" He asked before looking down at his body and gulping, his wounds from the fights were open and bloody but weren't bleeding. "What the?" He asked before he felt a pulling on his body causing him to close his eyes before feeling immense pain throughout his body as he opened his eyes to find himself lying down on a hospital bed that was being sped down a hallway surrounded of blurry figures.

"He's awake!" Said a voice to his right.

"Jason how do you feel?" Asked another voice.

"Like a million bucks fuck head" he groaned sarcastically. They soon arrived at a operating room or sorts.

"Cant we use magic to heal him?" Asked a different familiar voice.

"Luna?" He muttered.

"No he is too far gone to use magic, not without surgery first" said another voice causing Jason to groan as he willed his right arm up and under his chest plate.

"Doctor!" Called a voice as footsteps were heard as blurs arrived and tried stop him but he coated his arm in black lightning causing them to back off as he felt the clip attaching his plate to his leather chest.

"What is he doing?" Asked a voice from before, probably a doctor, Jason grunted as he unclipped the first before moving to the next, once it was off. He lifted his arm and Chest plate with as much strength as he could muster and dumped the plate on the ground before Jason blacked out and awoke in the forest again.

"So is this some kind of limbo?" He muttered as he looked at the starless night sky. He laylid there for what felt like a few moments before he felt the pulling feeling again and the overwhelmin pain.

"Clear!" Called a voice as a surge of energy went through his chest causing a beeping to be heard and Jason to groan. " he's ba.... oof" the voice said as Jason punched it.

"Oh Celestia the Doctor is unconscious!" Called a female voice.

'Woops' he thought before a mask was put over his mouth and nose and his arm was strapped down moments before he blacked out again. This time when he awoke, he was in a black void which was surrounded and far off white glowing dots. "Um okay?" He muttered as he sat down and sighed. "Well I guess this is less creepy" he sighed.

"Yes it is, but this gives us a perfect chance to train" said Adrian's voice

"Alright" Jason said getting up just as Adrian materialized in his armour.

"Let's begin". He said.

(Sometime later)

Jason groaned as he awoke to the sound of soft beeping, he looked over to the side and saw the heart monitor softly beeping away. He then looked around the white hospital room before he sat up, he removed a oxygen mask from his face the turned the valve on the IV before removing it slowly along with the tape. He grunted as he rubbed the area before looking out the window to see the soft morning sunlight enter the room but Jason also noticed that he was not in Ponyville. "Makes sense" he muttered before turning off the Heart monitor before removing the cables then waited for a few minutes to see if anyone ran in, see in no one, he walked over to the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror "definitely need to shave" he muttered before rinsing his face with hot water before summoning a sharp knife and proceeded to slowly shave until he was clean shaven. "Okay now the hippy hair" he said using the knife to shorten his hair to an acceptable length before incinerating the hair and using the toliet. When he was done, he walked out and stretched before looking down at the hospital gown. "Well I guess this is the perfect chance to try that re-equip spell" he said before focusing and a flame moved across his body, replacing the gown with some of his normal cloths, some cargo pants, boots and a black hoodie. "Be.... the hoodie is backwards" he groaned as he removed the hoodie and looked at the Punished top with a smirk before pulling the hoodie back on. He then moved to the door and left the room before walking to the nurse station and dinging the bell.

"One moment please" a voice called before Red Heart walked out excepted she had a baby blue mane and tail instead of pink. "How can I...... I my your awake.... and dressed and shaved" she said dropping her clip board.

"Yea I don't like being scruffy and I don't like hospital gowns" he said as she walked over to him. "Hey are you related to Red Heart in anyway?" He asked.

"Yes she is my sister, my name is Blue Heart" she said as he shook her hand.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, so can you tell me how long I've been out?" He asked her.

"Five and a half months" she said.

"Wait then how are my legs not twigs?" He asked.

"We put spells on your muscules to stop them deteriorating" she said as she stepped out from behind the station. "Come with me, your probably hungry" she said as he nodded. "Good that's a good sign also it gives me to give you a check up" she said as he nodded and followed her to the cafeteria. When they arrived they grabbed some food and coffer before sitting, Heart began to go over him, checking if everything was okay while he ate, which when she was satisfied and they had finished the two went to reception only to run into Scarlet.

She was shocked to see him awake. " your awake but they said it would be a few more months" she said as he chuckled.

"It isn't the first time they overestimated me being out" he chuckled before she hugged him "what's this?" He asked.

"I'm just happy your alright" she said as he hugged her back. When they broke apart she took a deep breath. "I better take you to see the Princesses" she said as Jason nodded before signing his release papers and lefted with Scarlet.

The two walked in silence as they headed through Canterlot, passing nobles and guards, which all stopped and looked at the human making him feel self conscious until he was stopped by a friend. "Jason your Up" said the White Fancy Unicorn.

"Yea I'm up Fancy, good to see you" he said smiling.

"Good to see you too my friend and oh I would like you to meet my Wife" he said gesturing a White Unicorn mare with a slim face and pink mane and tail. "Fleur Dis Lee" he said which Jason gave a nod. "Oh I have wonderful news" Fancy said.

"What is it?" Jason asked.

"We have a foal on the way" the mare said in a slightly French accent.

"Congratulations you two" Jason said smiling.

"Thank you, where are you both off to if I may ask?" Fancy asked.

"To the Castle," Scarlet said.

" Yes I believe the Princesses would like to see their Coltfriend" Fleur said.

"Yea that's the plan" Jason said "Well we best be off" he said.

"Yes we'll see you tonight at the Gala" Fancy said before leaving.

"Damn that's tonight? I don't have a suit" he said as they walked, as they arrived at the gate, both guards saluted Scarlet which she responded in kind as they passed them but Jason was stopped by someone grabbing his arm making him turn to see a Guard holding his arm. "What?" He asked.

"I just wanted to say thank you for saving me" he said with a smile.

"Don't mention it mate" he said with a kind smile as Scarlet and Jason headed up and entered the doors to find themselves in the throne room, they walked up to the throne but found it empty. Jason was about to say something before he felt arms wrap around him from behind and lift him off the ground.

"Your awake!" Said a happy voice as Jason felt his neck getting Nuzzled.

"Yea I noticed Tia" he said as she let him down before turning him and smiling at him "So what did I miss?" He asked.

"Not much really except my heat" she said as he grinned sheepishly "Oh and your house burnt down" she said casually.

"Wait what?!" He asked shocked

"No pony was hurt and Luna saved everyone's thing and most of yours but the problem is that it was a magical fire" she said as he sat on her throne with Jason on her lap, much to his disapproval as she groomed him.

"Would you stop?" He asked as she giggled and continued. "Fine what's a magical fire anyway?" He asked as he tried to get away but she pulled him back onto her lap.

"A Magical Fire is Pyromancy which can't be extinguished save for a Pyromancer" a familiar voice said to his left making him look to see Solar Flare in a red and gold dress that showed off her curves and Cleavage, both bigger then Celestia's. She smiled as she walked over and sat on the throne next to the one Celestia was on. "It's good to see you Mr Winter" she said smiling softly.

"Good to see you too Solar, and call me Jason please" he smiled as she nodded. "So any idea who set the fire?" He asked.

"Not really" Scarlet said as Celestia and Solar agreed.

"Damn.... I'm homeless now..... shit" he groaned as Celestia smiled. "And not really the godly image your use to aye Scarlet?" Jason asked.

"No bit it's nice to see her act like a regular Pony" she said as Celestia nodded.

"Thank you, and Jason your not Homeless, you'll be staying with myself or Twilight temporarily" Celestia said.

"Hmmmm well I don't like nobles so I'll say Twilight" he said as she nodded and nuzzled him.

"Okay, Scarlet you are dismissed" She said as Scarlet nodded before leaving.

"So is the plan to reveal Jason at the Gala?" Solar asked as Celestia nodded.

"Yes but right now I have Day court, please take Jason to a see Luna, I believe she is bathing right now and quite down" she said as Solar smirked and teleported Jason and herself to Luna's tower. Upon appearing, she sat Jason down and smiled at him.

"She has been down lately as she she went to see you a few days ago" Solar said before leaving the room. Jason looked around the room and noticed how similar it was to Luna's room at his place, except the bed is alot bigger and there were lots of paintings and weapons, he could faintly hear a shower turn off in a nearby room so Jason took a deep breath and looked to the door just as it opened. Luna walked out with a towel wrapped around her form, her mane and tail hung motionless and dark blue as she was watching the door as she closed it behind her, her royal trinkets in one of her hands while her other hand held the towel up, once the door was closed she sighed and turned to face her bed and freezing. Her mane and tail started to flicker softly as she looked at Jason who smiled sheepishly at her before she shook her head, her mane returning to its still form as she walked over to a light blue crystal Alicorn mannequin that she placed her royal items on before looking back at Jason and shaking her head and sighing.

Jason got off the bed and walked over to his Marefriend before gently putting his arms around her "your not real, your just a image my mind is showing me to try and cheer me up" she said as Jason frowned and punched her shoulder. "Ow" she said rubbing her shoulder and looked at him "Wait.... really?" She asked as her hand moved to his face moments before her mane and tail began flowing and she pushed her face against his, locking lips with him, her arms wrapped around him as her tongue forced its way into his mouth and she pushed him against her dresser, Jason was enjoying the kiss before realising that her large muzzle was covering his nose and he couldn't breath, and he couldn't move his head back as she was holding it in place as her tongue brutalized his own. He tapped her arm a few times but got no response so he grabbed her horn but simply made her moan into the kiss so he flicked her nose causing her to break the kiss and glare before she saw him gasp for air. "I'm sorry Jase" she said nuzzling his neck, Jason was happier that he had cheered her up but he didn't like being two feet off the ground.

"It's fine Lulu maybe we should lay down" he said as she nodded and dropped him gently, he smiled as he stripped to his boxers moments before she wrapped her naked form around him and climbed into her bed, holding him like a teddy bear as she nuzzled and cuddled him, her wings extended and practically hide him from the world. "You know I'm not going anywhere, " he said as she nodded before kissing him softly and nuzzling him again.

"We know but.... your our first ever partner and we were so distraught to be so helpless to help you and we could access your dreamscape..... we felt so alone" she whimpered as he placed his hand on her cheek and smiled at her.

"Well I'm here now Luna, and I'm all yours until the Gala" he said as she nodded and pulled him against her damp naked form and nuzzled the top of his head while she relaxed "night Luna" he said softly.

"Goodnight Jason" she said before she fell asleep.

The pair slept for several hours before being awoken by one of Celestia's maid, stating that due too the Gala, they would have a early dinner which would be delivered to Luna's room, the night Alicorn gave her thanks before leaving the bed to shower, Jason on the other hand fell back asleep only to be awoken when Luna came back out and dragged him in with her, much to his disapproval and complaint. As they were in the shower, Jason's thoughts drifted to places it hasn't for a while before he felt something warm and soft against his lips, bringing him back to see Luna smiling.

"Are you okay?" She asked him.

"Yea just thinking is all" he said.

"About?" She asked.

"Do you know who a Crystal is? She lived in the Crystal Empire and was sapphire blue?" He asked as she thought for a moment and scratched her chin.

"It's familiar but that was so long ago I'm sorry, maybe we shall have at the archive tomorrow" she said as he nodded before she gently pushed him against the wall.

"What are you doing?" He asked confused as she just smirked and kisses her way down his body.

"Cheering you up" she said but as she reached her prize a knock was heard from the door.

"Lulu, Jason its time for dinner" said Celestia's voice as Luna groaned and Slumped her head forward, unintentionally headbutting Jason in the balls causing him to grunt and fall to the ground holding his groin.

"We're sorry, We are coming Tia" Luna said turning off the shower and helping Jason out before handing him a towel and the two walked out to see Moon, Solar and Tia all standing there.

"Why are you lot here?" Jason asked.

"Well one I wanted to see you and two, seeing as Luna is coming to live here again, Solar and I want to live with you" Moon said.

"But I don't have a house" he said.

"Minor details, now you get dressed and come get some food" Solar said walking over and gently kissed him.

"What was that for?" He asked.

"Oh we forgot to mention that Solar is in our herd" Luna said.

"Why?" Jason asked as he walked over to a wardrobe that was identical to the one he had, confirming his theory he pulls out some of his cloths and laid them on the bed.

"Well seeing that one you can satisfy Alicorns" Moon said as she watched him get dressed.

"And to stop Solar from killing Luna" Celestia said.

"Ah, well welcome to the fuckery" he said as he pulled on a pair of black dress pants before sitting on the bed and putting dress shoes on.

"Thank you, you know I was surprised at your spirit, I thought you were just going to let him kill you after your arm was broken and your lung collapsed" Solar said as Jason pulled on a singlet.

"Thanks.... I think" he said grabbing a light purple dress shirt and put it on, he looked over his shoulder to see all four watching him. "Enjoying the view?" He asked as the four of them nodded making him groan. "So why don't you speak like Luna?" He asked as he put on a Black tie and a Black vest before tucking in his shirt.

"Because unlike Luna, I was able to listen to Ponies talk over the ages" she Said as he nodded before doing a few stretches and nodding at the lack of
unwanted tightness of his clothes before he rolled up sleeves to just above his Elbows.

"How do I look?" He asked as he got thumbs up before Celestia gently look his left hand and looked at the jagged scar on the inside of his arm with a frown. "Hey its cool" he said gently cuppin her face.

"No it isn't, they came after us and yet you nearly died protecting us" She sighed.

"I would have died happy know in it protec.... ow" he was saying before she slapped him.

"Be careful next time okay?" She asked as he nodded. "Good now let's get some food" she said as the others nodded before they all left for the dining hall. When the group arrived at the Dining hall, they were created by the sight of Shining Armour and Cadence making out, this develpoment shocked the four Alicorns as Jason shrugged and sat across from the couple before wolf whistling gaining their attention as they had a mini freak out before they relaxed at the sight of Jason, not knowing of the four adult Alicorns behind them.

"Hey love birds, using a condom?" He asked as they both turned bright pink. The two tried to speak but nothing came out. "How long?" He asked them which Shining showed two fingers. "Years?" Jason asked as Cadence nodded. "Why hide it?" He asked.

"Because I didn't want to get Shining in trouble" she said.

"And how would you manage that?" Asked Jason.

"Because he isn't an Alicorn" she said.

"Hmm okay, two things, one when was the last time you saw a Male Alicorn? And two does that mean I'm not allowed to be with Solar, Tia, Moon and Luna?" He asked.

"Thats different, and no I haven't" Cadence said.

"How so?" Jason asked but when the two went to speak they couldn't answer.

"Please don't tell my aunties, I dog want them to find out" she said.

"A bit late" he said confusing them until he pointed behind them, causing them to turn and gulp a the sight of the Alicorns. As the group discussed Jason slipped out of the room and walked until he found the Garden, when he did he walked to a small tree next to a pond, which he sat against and relaxed.

"Whats on your mind?" Adrian asked.

"Mums final moments, I wish I could rememver it more clearly" Jason sighed.

"I can help if you like" he said as he walked in front of Jason and crouched. "This will hurt physically and emotionally" he said as Jason nodded, Adrian took a deep breath and placed his hands on Jason's temples moments before a seerin pain rushed through his head causing him to clench his teeth before blacking out.

Jason awoke to find himself on a Crystal floor, a few drops of blood fell from his nostril as he looked around the room, it was the nursery from before but it was easier to make out details, he was so caught up in the surroundings that he didn't notice the other occupants until they started arguing, Jason turned and froze, the black armoured mare known as Umbra was a dark grey Unicorn with a black mane and a weird red horn but what shocked Jason was Crystal, she stood taller then anyone else in the room, she had a flowing ice blue mane that shimmered softly along with her tail but the most noticeable fact was that she had a Horn and wings which mean that she was a Alicorn.

"But how..... argh"he said as he fell to his knees, pain surging through his head before he heard a group of gasps, causing him to look uo to see the princesses were around him but he was still in the dream, the four watched the scene play out silently and when it collapsed and they returned to reality, they all stayed silent, and standing silently, save for Luna, who was wiping blood from Jason's face. Jason sighed as he climbed to his feet.

"Are you alright Jason" Moon asked.

"Why can't anything be simple?" He asked before leaving the four in the Garden and wandering for a while before he managed to get onto the roof, lay back and look a the stars. "Why couldn't this be simple?" He asked no one in particular.

"Life never is" said a new female voice.

"I'm not interested in talking" he said.

"Okay then listen, I need you help" she said, Jason believe she was female due to her voice.

"Whats wrong?" He asked not looking at her.

"My father is in Danger of being taken over by an Overlord" she said gaining Jason's attention, he looks to find a very perculiar being, it was if a bunch of races got chucked into a blender.

"What are you?" He asked curious.

"My name is Eris and I am a Draconequus" she said as Jason got to his feet. "Please, I don't do this often but your the only one immune to their control magic" she said getting to her knees and held her hands together in front of herself. "I'll give you anything your heart desires" she said.

"I'll do it for free" he said shocking her.

"What? Your playing right?" She asked as he shook his head make her squeal happily before coiling around him, her large bust pressing his cheek and the middle of his back at the same time.

"Dont thank me yet" he said as she nodded and released him.

"I know but I know you can do it" she said before teleporting him to a hallway, In front of a large set of door, behind which Jason could hear a large amout of people talking. Steeling his nerves, he entered the room to see not only ponies but a multiple of other races, Jason simply ignored them as he walked over and grabbed a glass of champagne before exiting into the courtyard, which was filled with news reporters, but he did get a chance to move when he was suddenly hugged by a white Pegasus stallion in a very tight jumpsuit.

"Sourin, I know I'm awake but I can feel your junk against my leg and its not a good feeling" he said.

"Sorry mate, I'm just happy that your better" he said, Jason was about to say something before a familiar yellow mare in a similar tight jumpsuit interrupted him.

"The Black knight has awoken" she said smiling.

"The what has what?" Jason asked.

"The Black knight, that's what the papers are calling you" she said.

"Why?" He asked.

"Because you rescued the Princesses in armour that resembled a knights while using dark magic" she said as he slowly nodded. "Oh I'm Spitfire by the way" she said offering her hand which he took and shook.

"Nice to meet you and is that why the Newsponies are keeping a good distance from me?"He asked pointing to the group of Reporters who squeaked and ran away.

"Hmmm we should bring you to some of our shows" Sourin chuckled moments before Jason was hugged tightly but a cyan mare with Rainbow hair.

"Jason your better" she said not noticing her ideals right next to her as Jason chuckled before wrapping an arm around her.

"I noticed, but I think you should look up" he said as she looked at him then looked at the Wonderbolts before going quite. "Sourin, this is my friend Rainbow Dash, Dash this is my friend Sourin" he said as she looked at him slightly betrayed.

"Your friends with a Wonderbolt!?" She said alarmed.

"And your wearing a dress" he counted causing her to blush.

"Yea, what of it!" She said annoyed.

"You look nice" he said making her blush more "now going with your ideals while the Reporters are away" he said as she nodded before he left, as he walked he found Blue with Rarity just before he removed her beautiful over coat and was about to lay it over a mud puddle but Jason wouldn't have that as he walked over, grabbed the coat and tripped Blue so he fell face first into the mud. "Madam" he said offering his hand to Rarity, who smiled and used Blue as a way to get over the mud puddle.

"Thank you Jason, and I am so happy you are better" she said before looking at his suit. "Not too shabby if I must say" she said as he chuckled and gave her back her cost.

"This is an Outrage, I have had enough of you Ape" Blue growled.

"What are you going to do Blue" he asked as Blue growled again.

"I challenge you to a Duel, winner decides the fate of the Loser" he said before looking at Rarity "and the Whorse" he said making her gasp in shock.

"Sure, let's go" he said following Blue to the Guard training ground, a large crowd soon arrived, thanks to Rarity's loose lips. The two stood 2 metres away from each other with swords that they obtained from guards. "Any last words Blue."

"Yes, I took pleasure destroying everything you hold dear" he smirked.

"Wait are you saying that you destroyed my house?" Jason asked as Blue nodded before charging, only to have Jason side step and slap Blue's ads with the flat part of his sword, this act caused all of the crowd to laugh, but Blue growled before blasting Jason in the chest, sending him back. As Jason was getting up, he saw a group of blue armoured Guards enter the ring with shields and Swords.

"I shall end you Ape" he smirked.

"Blue Blood End this now!" Yelled a pony.

"With pleasure" he said as he ordered his guards to charge, as the guards charged, Jason's hands glowed a dark red before they all stopped dead in their tracks. The guards looked confused as they tried to move but their feet were stuck to the ground, Jason simply walks passed them and towards Blue, who was moving backwards until he reached the edge of the ring and gulped, Jason smirked before smacking Blue's sword away and kicked him out of the ring.

"I win" Jason said as Blue growled before pulling a flintlock, except it had crystals in its barrel. The crowd moved back as several Royal Guard charged towards Blue, but he already fired except, he missed by a mile, this caused Jason to smile before summoning his .32 revolver.

"Call that a gun? This is a gun" he said before shooting Blue in the shoulder, the sound caused all the ponies to cover their ears in pain before they looked at Blue holding his shoulder and crying out in pain as blood poured from it.

"Guards, arrest Blue Blood and his personal Guard" ordered Celestia as the Royal Guards nodded before roughly dragging away Blue and his guards as Celestia walked over to Jason.

"That a strike 3 and 4" he said desummoning the revolver.

"Yes it is but did you have to scare Everypony?" She asked gesturing the crowd that were watching.

"Think of it as a means of showing not to fuck with me" he chuckled as she shook her head before smirking and stepping up into the ring. "What are you doing?" He asked.

"Attention My little Ponies! Due to the multiple Crimes under Prince Blue Blood's Name, He Is to be stripped of all his Titles, Properties and his Princehood, Furthermore, as it has been recently discovered, due to Jason Winter's Roysl family Bloodline and his great service to Equestria, he will take up the mantle of Princehood" she said as the crowd gave a loud vocalisation of their Approval but Jason simply stood their shocked.

"Why can't anything be simple?" He muttered
