Seventeen

Onyx brought a glass of water to Rarity, since she was the first to awaken, "Have a nice beauty nap, Rarity?"

"Absolutely," she accepted the water and took a sip, "Boy Wonder," she snickered.

Onyx flushed red and Grey chuckled, "How do you know that name?"

"That crystal transported me back in time, darling," Rarity informed him, "I met a very rambunctious and younger you. When you killed that Abyssal Demon, you wanted everyone to call you the 'Dragon of Steel'  "

"To which I replied, 'Calm down, Boy Wonder.'" Grey finished for her and they both snickered quietly as to not disturb the others.

Onyx huffed, his arms crossed his black armor and deadpanned, "Ha. Ha." Onyx motioned for Rarity to follow him, "You should probably get started on the clothes, Rare, I got everything set up for you."

"That was quite the feat, Onyx, dear," Rarity smiled, "But I think Grey has you beat."

"I had the most kills!" Onyx pouted, "He just had bigger kills, which still only counted as one, I mind you!"

"Yeah, yeah, Boy Wonder," Grey waved him dismissively.

Onyx grumbled and began to walk past the partition with Rarity in tow; Rarity placed her hand between his wings and smiled up at him.

Kyllgorr stirred awake and yawned. He stretched, which popped his arms, back, and neck. He gazed lovingly down at the elf curled up in his lap and watched her sleep. A few moments later, she woke up with a stretch, and accidentally punched Kyllgorr in his crotch.

"Oh, Killy!" she gasped and rolled off his legs, "I'm sorry!"

"It was an accident," he croaked.

She placed a hand on his crotch with a salacious smirk, "Want me to kiss it better?"

Kyllgorr's eyes shot wide.

Grey cleared his throat, "There are others here, Amy."

Amy grinned, "My services do not extend to the rest of you, if that's what you're implying."

"Whassgoinon?" Twilight slurred and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. Her hair a wild mess.

"Is it lunch time?!" Pinkie asked loudly as she sprung from her blankets. The other women groaned and began to awaken. "Oops," Pinkie giggled, "Sorry."

"It is alright, Pinkie," Celestia said beside the curly, pink haired woman,  with a practiced smile, "I think it was about time for us to wake up anyways."

Luna sat up from her covers with a somber expression. Grey took note of this.

"What's wrong, my love?" he inquired as he held her face gently.

Her teal eyes began to water and she hugged Grey tightly, "I saw what happened to Alexander..." she felt Grey tense up, "I'm  "

Grey broke their embrace and placed a finger on her lips, "Don't worry about it, Luna. I have come to terms with what happened a long time ago."

"Are you certain?" she questioned and held his hands.

He kissed her softly, "Yes."

Onyx rounded the metal partition that divided the vault and saw Rainbow Dash sitting on her blankets, hugging her knees. He knelt next to her, "Is everything alright?"

She gazed at him with distraught fuchsia eyes, "Y-yeah," her voice cracked. She shook her head, rainbow colored hair smacked his face and she jumped up, "I know how to kick major flank with a rod now!"

"Good to know," Onyx rubbed his nose and smiled up at her, "I'll know who to call on to save me from big baddies now."

"You got that right!" Rainbow pumped a fist.

Onyx was glad to see her usually spunky self back in her eyes, "C'mon, show me what you got, short stuff," he teased as he used her head to help himself up and dashed away. "Amy, come help Rarity with the clothes, please?" He asked as he sped away.

"Oh, ho, I'm so not going to go easy on you!" she ran after him with a confident smirk.

Amy kissed Kyllgorr quickly before jumping off his lap and skipping after Onyx.

Twilight went over to her friend Fluttershy who was just sitting on her covers lost in her own thoughts. "Is everything okay, Fluttershy?"

"Huh? Oh..." Fluttershy played with her fingers, "E-everything is fine, Twilight."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes," Fluttershy smiled and nodded, "I... just have a lot on my mind. My 'dream' was amazing,"

"Really?" Twilight sat across from her friend, "I would like to hear about it. Mine was... interesting, to say the least."

Applejack went to the Time Freezers to rustle up some grub, she cast a few glances toward Kyllgorr every now and then.

"Why do you keep looking at him?" Pinkie questioned, popping out of thin air making Applejack jump back.

"I don't know what you're talkin' 'bout, Pinkie," Applejack stated and pulled out two apples from the crisper drawer.

"Oh, c'mon, silly! You keep looking at Kyllgorr!" Pinkie blurted.

"Look it doesn't matter," she said in a hushed voice with a hand over the party girl's mouth, "Just forget it."

"Okey! Dokey! Lokey!" she hopped away and went up to Grey, "So, you gave me the gun, but I don't have any ammunition for it. What's up with that?"

"Safety precaution," Grey joked, "Mages and Pinkie, if you would all follow me to the range, we can go test out y'alls accuracy," he announced and stood up, he helped Luna up as well. "Applejack, go spar with Kyllgorr. Let's go ladies." Grey started to walk to the range but was cut off by Fluttershy.

"Um, excuse me, Grey?" she tucked her hair out of her face, "What am I supposed to do?"

"Make as many medi-kits, healing salves, and anything else your little heart desires," he smiled, "Rarely do you have the time in the middle of battle to create such lifesaving items. Everything you need should be in the tote and in your head."

"Yes," Fluttershy smiled, "I will get to work right away!"

Applejack shuffled awkwardly up to Kyllgorr as the group disappeared, "So, um... that crystal really helped me to understand how to fight as a Human," she chuckled nervously.

"You aren't a Human," Kyllgorr stated.

"I'm not?" Applejack said confused.

"You are an Ancient. A Pure Wolf. You are much better than a lowly, stinking Human," Kyllgorr stood up and stretched again. "You should have noticed by now that you have more acute hearing and smell than usual."

"I guess," Applejack shrugged.

"Now, let us begin," he positioned himself in a defensive manner. Applejack rose her first to her chin. "Don't worry, there are plenty of people here to heal you."

Applejack smirked, "My thoughts exactly."

Outside, Darqlon heard a faint cry in the wind. He shrugged it off and decided to go check on the others inside the Vault.
