Last thing Nick Fitzgerald knew he was sleeping in his room on Earth. Next thing he knows he is in Canterlot castle getting yelled at by guards.

Nick Fitzgerald is what one would find to be your average High Schooler. An average Joe with a little bit of simple skills all over the place. Yet when the opportunity arises he can be quite the snarky individual. After going to bed in his own bedroom after another day of school and other activities, Nick found himself walking out of said room the morning after and coming face to face with… anthro ponies?. Follow Nick as he saves Equestria from various threats as they threaten his new and strange home. Why is he even in this new world, and what secrets about his family will he come across. Only with determination can Nick find the answers.

(Just so it is known to all so there are no questions on time Nick wakes up about 5-10 min.-ish B4 the first Twi leaves for Ponyville)

(this is my first story at ALL ever so I know that mistakes will be made and all I ask is that I get called out, the error to be shown, then to be shown a way to fix it
Also any intended references, used songs, or anything of the sort will be noted and if I seem to reference a work that was unrecognized there are 2 answers:
1 I was too lazy or
2 I never heard of the work you believe I am referencing
however when you bring the possible reference I humbly ask you to be polite, so please do NOT fallow an example such as "OMG YOU DUMBASS you referenced (whatever) and didn't give credit!!!" because if you fallow this model I will NOT even try to see if you are correct because I, like some people do not like being yelled at.
Instead I ask for something like "I think you referenced (this) (a link would be appreciated"
Finally there is a small amount of mystery that can be found however it is NOT the main focus so I did not mark it as so)
Finally the main heroes' heights(estimation)
Nick: 5 feet and 8 inches
Main Six: average of about 5 feet and 9 inches
Celestia: 6 feet 9 inches
Luna (before the Grand Galloping Gala) : 5 feet 11 inches
Nightmare Moon and Luna (after the Grand Galloping Gala) : 6 feet 8 inches

Chapter 1

Author's Note

Just letting you know the first part of this is a reflection then I will make a line similar to this

To signify the end of the reflection
Also...I don't intend to have characters talk so long at once like they will in this chapter, in the future but this is the very beginning so Nick needs to learn the basics Equestria.
Finally I might be write a little of these on my phone sometimes so spacing might be weird every now and then... but I will do my best and fix the spacing first chance I get!
Also an editor would be nice.... so if you wanna do a newbie a favor just let me know via PM

Chapter 1

Nothing is more relaxing than enjoying Summer Break before the next school year. Especially when Summer Break is close to ending and it’ll be time to sit in class and spend much of your free time on homework. Heck when I woke up this morning I thought I was going to enjoy a normal breakfast with my family before going out to enjoy the last moments of my Summer Break with some friends.

But then I got dressed and stepped out of my room...

"Freeze! Don't you dare move." I heard a male voice coming from somewhere behind me so I turned to see what I could only describe as a group of white furred anthropomorphic ponies in armor that were holding swords and spears rushing towards me.

In response, to show I had no ill intentions, I raised my hands over my head and crouched onto my knees. Looking at the approaching creatures with wide eyes, I began to panic due to both confusion and fear.

"Stop scaring our guest, all of you!" a new, female voice yelled to the guards with a somewhat scolding tone, as if the guards were her children and her their mother. Both the group of ponies and me turned to see a tall white furred pony with an elegant golden crown on her head as well as a..horn…? She also had a cool multi-colored mane that seemed to continuously flow as if caught in a gentle breeze.. And thanks to being a high school male student, I noticed her F or possibly FF cup sized breasts held within her gorgeous white gown with golden etching. The guards, upon hearing her voice, quickly halted and kneeled before her and apologizing. “Return to your posts, I will take care of our guest here.” With a quick nod, the guards dispersed, returning to their original stations as they apologized and referred to the white mare as princess. The woman in front of me that I could only assume was royalty of some sort due to the recent exchange returned her attention to me. “Please, if you’d follow me.” Her voice was gentle and caring, helping me to calm down somewhat from the confusion and fear I was experiencing from everything around me.

She waved for me to follow her with a gentle smile, prompting me to get off my knees and cautiously approach her. As I walked with her down the hall, we came to a HUGE door that was opened for us by a pair guards, one on either side of the door. As we both entered the room behind the door I gazed around in interest at the large room. It was full of various tapestries and stained glass windows, the ceiling way above held by large marble pillars. While I took in my surroundings I failed to notice that the white mare had continued walking forward and had sat at a throne with a sun at the top of it. When I finally notice that she had seated herself on the throne and was patiently looking at me and waiting for me to speak, I quickly bowed now knowing she was royalty. I then said, "Your highness, I assume you wait for me to explain myself… but I hardly know where I even am or what your are."

The princess then looked at me with curiosity in her eyes and said, "Of course, I myself do not know what you are." She then adopted her friendly smile yet again, easing my nerves as I comprehended what to say. “If you would be so kind as to enlighten me who and what you are, I would be grateful.”

I took a breath to ready myself as I thought on what to say to her, "My name is Nick Fitzgerald and I am a human. And based on what I see around me I am no longer in my own world, Earth. I have no clue as to how I got here however whatever took me here also took my entire room and made it part of the castle. And based on my observations you are some sort of pony, possibly a herbivore, and since I want no misunderstandings between us I am an omnivore just like any other human.. I personally want you to know that I also know how to fight with bladed weapons such as a sword or knife as a sign of trust and that I wish no harm towards you or anything else. I also know a thing or two about hand- to- hand combat...at your service, your highness."

The princess responded by saying, "Thank you for telling me all of this about yourself and informing me of what you are. My name is Princess Celestia, the race of my kingdom and I are ponies just as you correctly observed. And of us ponies there are three kinds; the Earth Ponies which are very strong able to manipulate the land and great with agriculture, the Unicorns that are born with horns and able to utilize various spells and magic, and the Pegasi who are born with wings and the ability to fly and manipulate the weather. Of course there is somewhat a fourth though it is rare and mainly prominent in royalty, and that is the Alicorn which is what I am. Alicorns are born with the abilities and traits of all three kinds of ponies. The kingdom which I rule and you are currently in is called Equestria and is mostly ponies." She paused, giving me a bigger smile before she continued. “And don’t worry, I don’t think you are a threat. I can sense no dark intentions or powers within you.”

I bowed yet again before Celestia, “Thank you for trusting me your highness.”
“No thanks is needed, Nick, and I will look into how you came to this world. For now I think it is best that we keep the knowledge of your presence to a minimum. There is...a student of mine who is going to a town called Ponyville. She is a lavender colored unicorn and her name is Twilight Sparkle. Go with her, the small town is will be easier for you to keep a low profile than my castle.” Celestia than gave a quick chuckle. “However do be prepared, she can sometimes ask a lot of questions.”

"Okay, I’ll trust your judgement, you know more of this world than I do. Where should I meet her to leave?" I asked.

"Right outside of the castle, a flying carriage will be waiting for the both of you. I was actually sending her there today. I’ll have one of my guards show you the way."

I politely thanked her for her assistance and made my way out of the castle with the help of a guard. Celestia had also given me a note that she had written that basically said that I am ordered by Celestia to accompany Twilight Sparkle to Ponyville and that no guard is to deny me of this trip and if they do the princess shall personally and severely punish them. Once outside and beside the carriage, I took a seat within it and waited till I saw a lovely looking, lavender colored unicorn with an about size D chest walk out towards the flying carriage I was waiting in.

"Hello." I said in a calm and even tone as she approached the carriage hoping to come off as an friendly individual. However the unicorn nearly sprinted at me causing me to brace myself for possible impact as I expected her to tackle me, unfortunately what I could never have braced for was what felt like millions upon millions of waves of questions it felt like she was throwing at me. The ones that stuck to me the most were the ones like "How come you arrived in the castle of all places?" "How did you even get here, and where are you from anyway?" and "What do you plan on doing while you are here?" While Twilight assaulted me with questions, the carriage took off and we were flying in the skies as the Pegasus guard towing the carriage flew us. I would have been amazed and staring at the ground below if my attention wasn’t focused on comprehending the onslaught of questions from the mare beside me.

After a few minutes of trying to answer a single question I snapped and yelled, "AT LEAST GIVE ME TIME TO ANSWER A QUESTION BEFORE YOU ASK ANOTHER ONE!" at this Twilight would have jumped back...but we were in a flying carriage so she hastily scooted to the other side of the carriage.

After that we were both completely silent for what felt like hours, and feeling bad for my outburst I found myself being the one to end it. "...sorry about that, I was just annoyed and a little frustrated" I said, ashamed with how rude I had just been to the mare who was just overly curious for her own good. "Let me just tell you a short version of who I am Twilight, allright?"

"Yes!" said Twilight almost immediately, regaining her excitement at the prospect of learning something new.

"Ok...My name is Nick Fitzgerald and I am 19 years of age. I come from a world called "Earth" where my omnivorous species,humans, are the dominant species. Also, as far as how I got here...I honestly am as clueless as you are...one night I’m in my world sleeping in my bedroom then the next morning I wake up, get dressed, the walk out said bedroom door into a hallway with guards rushing towards me....does that satisfy you?....At least for now?"

"Yes! Thank you!" Twilight said very enthusiastically with a squee.

I noticed Twilight was finishing up on writing something in a notebook as she beamed a smile at me, spiking my own curiosity. "Hey Twilight...who are those notes going to.....Celestia?" I asked jokingly.

At this Twilight almost completely froze ".....How did you know?", she asked.

" ..I...I guessed." I said somewhat dumbfounded. The mood of the carriage was getting way too awkward for my taste so I decided to break the mood but then I noticed we were approaching a small town..

"Oh look, I think we reached Ponyville." I said feeling the awkwardness fade as we began a descent to land.

Chapter 2

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Chapter 3

After A few moments...a few screams and yells, then a pitch black alicorn wearing armor that had a EE-cup walked out then more ponies yelled and screamed and a few even actually cursed

"What none of you even know who I AM I am hurt""

"I do" Me and Twilight said. "You are the Mare in The Moon/ Night Mare Moon" We said in unison "Your goal is to bring Night time eternal." We said together

Night Mare looked at us with a sadistic grin and an unsettling look in her eyes "Looks like there are SOME..beings that know who I am." She said "But what in TARTERUS ARE you?" She asked me with clear knowledge and venom in her words and bringing the focus of the room to me.

"I am Nick Fitzgerald, a Human, I was brought here by a mysterious force that is unknown to me while I slept in my world, friend to those who believe in me, under service of Celestia, Omnivore, however non-pony eater, friend of Twilight Sparkle, and finally since you have clearly done something to Celestia: ENDER OF YOU!" I said loudly, mildly both embarrassed and proudly, and yelled the last two parts as loudly as I can and pointed at her.

"Oh why would you trust Cel-" she started but I cut her off

"Because she was the first one in this land to give me a chance to explain it all....to except me, her guards ran at me with weapons, and even some residents of PonyVille have looked at me like a monster however the princess,...she didn't even think twice before looking at me as a friend! AND YOU HAVE HARMED HER THEREFOR I CAN NOT FORGIVE YOU!!!" I said with quickly rising, unyielding rage.

"HAHAHA then I will see you in the Everfree forest." She said in an almost seductive tone as she teleported away.

I could tell all eyes were on me as I left, I felt their BURNING stares "What, I could see your looks, some confused, some distrusting, some couldn't care less! Well guess what, either you accept me or you don't, I don't care, I WILL get Celestia back! I SWEAR it, With my heart, soul, MY EVERYTHING, I will die before I let her get her way!" I yelled as I ran out.

I was right in front of the Everfree forest when I heard "STOP!" It sounded like...Twilight, "Wait for us!"

"So you will all be coming?" I asked without looking back "All 6 of you?" They all nodded at slightly varying speeds. "Okay...just don't blame me if anything happens...you all came willingly. Okay?" They all nodded again. "Let's move then." I said, voice trembling from both gladness and something I couldn't quite identify and we walked in.

(the scene played identically to the show just with me there until now) a piece of the cliff fell apart and scent all but the two pegisi barreling down the new slope made. I stopped at the bottom and saw Twilight fall down then when Twilight let go and I heard voices I jumped down similarly to AJ. "Well that was odd to say the least." I said to nopony in particular.

(Once again similar to the show...I am lazy as well as that I can not put most of it to words accurately...and I not even going to try with giggle at the ghosties so don't try to get me to and I honestly if I have spoken out of my rear till now then know that this is the truth: I cannot allow myself to write the near-petty nature of the Rarity part of this episode. However I do offer a sincere apology to those who desire me to do so.)

We arrived at a broken bridge with a gap in the beginning that was too large to cross. "Well... this is trouble...maybe one of or the both of you can help?" I asked the pegisi. Fluttershy shook her head

"Wait here you guys. I'll be right back!" Rainbow said as he took the bridge's end and flew across and then fog closed off out view of Rainbow... but weirdly enough it also cut off our hearing. A few moments later she flies out with no rope end and we cross the bridge and then we see it.

The Castle Of The Two Sisters. (I write it this way out of respect and will continue to so don't bitch about it) We walked into the castle to see her looking and laughing at us, her face pointed at me. "What is so funny? I said I would be here." I asked calmly.

She slowly stopped laughing and looked at me "Because of what you said in PonyVille both before and after I left." She said with much laughter remaining in her voice.

"Well. I don't say words that I don't mean...that would be a waste of air. And so, I have come to deliver, I have said all I need to." I said calmly. "Except this: I vow, with my friends as a witnesses:The existence of the being known as Night Mare Moon shall end here for what you have done!" I said voice starting to shake from anger. I squeezed my hands into fists as hard as I could "Enough talk besides the is a saying in my world 'action speaks a thousand words' so I intend to say a couple hundred thousand to your face!" I said as I ran at Night Mare Moon and twilight ran right behind me to stop me but we both got teleported .

Chapter 4

Author's Note

Look I am sorry that this chapter was short for my standards BUT next chapter will be a little longer than usual. I Pinkey promise, Cross my heart, hope to fly stick a cupcake in my eye.

Chapter 4

After the teleportation we were in a completely different room and we saw some rocks but they had symbols....those elements that Twilight was talking about. (I heard the words elements and harmony used together) She ran to the room I saw her Night Mare Moon, and she did NOT look like she wanted us to get these elements. "Twilight! Get the elements, I'll keep her away!" She nodded

"You really plan on fighting ME? How foalish." She said

"Well it is better than doing nothing, then I would be a bad friend...but we can stop this here and now...just surrender and bring Celestia back." I said with a voice filed with hope and the desire to see Celestia again.

"HAHAHA sorry but that is not going to happen." Her voice was calm.

"OK just know....I tried to prevent it but....your about to have a bad time." I said. I ran at her, full speed. She...somepony said something but I didn't listen, I didn't care.

Then i was hit in the side of my head, blood slowly coming from it...then I am on the floor and I see Night Mare Moon about to throw a spear of darkness at Twilight, so I did what any good friend would do. I took the spear for her, It landed an inch or two above my belly-button.(Yes I AM being serious.) Then weirdly...the spear vanished leaving....little to nothing that I could see..the pain, still there.

I grunted loudly at the pain. "Sorry...It will take a little more than that to bring me down." I said with a little blood starting to gather by the sides of my mouth. "Now then...the REAL fight begins!" I announced

I half ran half sprinted at her with one thing absolute in my mind I WILL GET HER BACK! when I got up to her I slammed my fist into her face with everything I had but....she didn't seem so much as phased by the hit.

"Is that Really all you have....shame I was looking forward to a challenge...Oh well" she said, voice filled with boredom. she started to hit me, I kept up with her. (I was trained in hand- to-hand combat) I got a moment to rest and I noticed I weird and... dark power inside me...and it was growing! (NO IT IS NOT AN INUENDO....asshole) Night Mare Moon ran past me to get to Twilight but on the on the way stabbed both my shoulders with swords...shewas going to kill Twilight...and her friends.

I felt my anger burning inside of me. "I WILL NOT LET YOU!" I yelled as I ran and caught up to her and put her in a full nelson and held her horn.

(end the song here....If you wanna)

"Hold me all you want but I will get out once you tire. Then I WILL kill them...they don't even have there precious elements." She said

"You are wrong. While the stones are destroyed, the spirits live inside them, Honesty: Apple Jack, Loyalty: Rainbow Dash, Generosity: Rarity, Laughter: Pinkey Pie, Kindness: FlutterShy, Magic: Twilight Sparkle. You have all shown those elements since you got here!" I said as the jewel of each element secured itself to the corresponding pony in a necklace, except Twilight who got a crown/tiara. (Im not gonna argue over witch one it is.) "Now use the elements and end this right here and now!" I said

"Move out of the way then." They all said.

"I can't let go, the moment I do she will unleash a spell that will knock all of us out of commission. Just know that if I was destined to die here then I am happy that at least I went out doing something good." I said calmly with tears of joy running down my face.

They fired a beam that looked like a rainbow upon the both of us, and we both yelled in agony. When the beam faded I saw the princess appear. She along with my friends approached me and a new alicorn that was next to me. I smiled at them, then every thing went black.

Chapter 5

After everything went black I woke up in a blue and purple void with...stars? I walked through it for a little but then I saw a flash of light come from behind me, I turned around and saw a tall (7 foot 5 inches), white alicorn with a EEE-cup chest. She was wearing a white dress and roman looking sandals, "Hello there Nick." She said. "I have had my eye on you, so you seem to like Celestia hmm?"

"What!..How did you know? Wait...who ARE you anyway!?" I asked both shocked and flabbergasted "And..am I dead?"

" I am Faust, Queen of Equestria and mother of both Celestia and Luna, I have been watching you from this demention, MY demention, it was moved within you when you arrived. And no you are not dead." She said "I am here to tell you much that you need to know before you wake up so let me finish before you ask questions."

"Okay Faust, begin when ready." I said

"Good. First, you are not fully human, you are part human alicorn and demon. You see one of your male ancestors had I child with the demon that made Luna become Night Mare moon, making your entire family that came from that child on part demon and alicorn, however you are the first one since the original child to inherit both immortality as well as the magic of an alicorn." She said, she paused (to breath). "The original child was killed while I was still a foal so I know nothing about him as far as the kind of person he was. But that is irrelevant compared to this: you hold dark as well as many other magics within you and you will need to accept that fact just know that it is not the types of magic but how you use them that matters. Finally, I will be within you so you will be be able to contact me again if you focus, however you are waking so I must leave you, I shall see you again." She said as This all went black

Everything slowly came to me, I was in a wight room surrounded by about 8-10 blurs. "Are you ok, what happened to you, you were mumbling in your sleep what was it'" so many questions being asked

"Wait...I was in The Castle Of The Two Sisters..holding Night Mare Moon, then the elements...then....Faust" I mumbled

"Wait Faust!!!!?????" Two of the blurs asked. I nodded "Where!?" They asked.

"While I was out...a void.. she said it was a demention that was moved...into my soul" I said, my vision finally clearing completely. The two gave me an unsatisfied look "That's what she told me, what else do you want!?" I asked angrily.

A gorgeous, black alicorn with a E-cup spoke first "He is right sister, he can only go off of what he knows. And we thank you for what you did to save us." She said "And We are sorry for what happened." She said looking at my bandaged shoulders with shame.

"Listen Luna. I know what happened, it wasn't your fault okay. It was the demon that took you over by abusing the slight jealousy you felt towards your sister." I said comfortingly "Besides, you are back to normal now and that's all that matters to me." I said "Celestia, what I said about Faust, (I told her about my abilities, immortality and heritage, excluding the Night Mare Moon part) But it all still confuses me a little." I said "However, one thing that does not confuse me is how I intend to use them, I WILL protect this world!" I said as I made a dagger out of magic, and made a small cut "On this wound, as these ponies as witnesses, I will protect the innocents of this world, no matter the cost!" I said with certainty in my voice. I then used some of the bandages on my stomach to cover my hand.

"Can I move to PonyVille, I am at least closer to being respected and trusted there." I asked. She nodded and Twilight told me she would let me stay with her. She seemed a little too eager to me but I said "Okay, as soon as I leave I will bring my stuff over." I said.

"Actually Nick, all of your things have already been moved so you can move as soon as you leave." Celestia said "And you should be ready to check out today."

"Ok then I will see you tonight Twilight and Spike." I said "and please Twilight, Don't look through everything." Twilight sighed but did agree not to look. That evening I checked out of the hospital and heard mares talking about a heat season starting tomorrow, but I ignored it thinking that it wasn't my business. I got to the library and I saw Twilight

"Hey There Nick" Twilight said, trying to sound calm but I knew something was up. But I didn't press her about it. "Let me show you to ou- your room." She said OK something is definitely up...but what is it?

"OK Twilight." I said fallowing her. When we got to my room I was impressed, all my stuff was there and there was still a decent amount of extra space. "OK Twilight I am gonna get some rest now, Good night" I said catching her looking...at my lower area. "And for future reference, my eyes are up here." I said as I closed the door. I then proceeded to put on some pajama shorts and went to bed.

While I was asleep I saw Faust again. "Hey there Faust, I didn't think I would see you this soon. I said then I noticed she had a bag "What is that you have with you?"

"This, is the equipment of an assassin, and at one point you will need all of it." she said opening the bag. In it was two hidden blades, a robe and cape that looked like Ezio's from Assassins creed Revelations, a revolver, ammo, and armor (knightly armor not A.C. armor) an enchanted ring to disguise my self and a mask.

"OK thank you Faust." I said as I grabbed the bag. "Anything else I need?" I asked

"You should get up and run now, heat season is starting tomorrow." She said as I woke up to find Twilight sleeping in my bed.

Chapter 6

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Chapter 7

Author's Note

OK...This chapter (If you didn't read my last note) will have clop. My first time writing it at that... Give me feedback! Even if it is as little as I ran out of ideas too, so some of thos would be good too.
With that out of the way(....I hope you) enjoy

Chapter 7

Luna teleported us into her room then I saw her grab her her dress. "Wait Luna, before we start...Can I take a shower first, I smell awful! I never got to clean myself since I got here." I asked. "You can even be in the bathroom, but no funny stuff."

"Sure." Luna said

"Thanks, I'll finish as soon as possible." I said. (Not writing about shower.) After I got out of the shower I examined myself, my brown hair that I style into my usual "Bed head" as I dry it, I then look at my scars on my torso and upper arms. I then walked out (No use in getting dressed.) I see Luna has already undressed. "Alright, I'm ready...are you?"

"Yes, yes we are" Luna says sounding excited

"Luna,...I'm gonna be blunt, I've never had sex before so I need you to guide me. Is that okay?" I asked

"Well...we never have either.." Luna says with a voice full of shame and a large blush to match.

(Clop starts)

"Then we will take it slow until we figure out what we like best." I said as I walked up to her and brought us both to the bed. I then begin to grope her left breast and say "Well come on, we don't have all day." I said. I then start to slide the fingers of my right hand into her soaking wet marehood.

After about a minute passes. "Come on let us start the main event" Luna said and I complied. I stop groping, remove my hand from Luna and get myself into position. I then slowly take the plunge into Luna's marehood as she moans.

"Well, no regrets, we both desired this of each other? Or is this the heat?" I asked

"Honestly, a little of both...why?" Luna asked

"No reason." I lied as I slammed into Luna and I felt blood dripping from within her. "That's why." I confessed.

(Clop end, I have no ideas)

After about three hours of sex Luna says "Wow, stallions only last a few minutes, and only cum once." Luna said.

"Well, I'm no stallion." I said, felling confident as I went into the bathroom and cleaned myself. I walked out and got cloths on and grabbed my things. "Well...what now?" I asked. I waited but she just looked at me. "Well if you don't know then I guess we can talk." I proposed.

"I'll start...I grew up without parents. Or at least without my real ones" I took a moment to prepare myself. "When I was four, my parents and I were walking but then I heard something heavy fall and saw my mother dead, blood seeping from her body. Then the man attacked my father, I slammed at the attackers leg, what exactly it did I will never know but my father was able to stop the attacker and the authorities took him away. But my father started coughing while they were questioning him. They called and ambulance and loaded him on it, but he wouldn't make it to the hospital. On the way there he saw me bawling my eyes out, his last words both haunt and comfort me to this day, ... 'Don't worry son, I'll be okay. I love you'. Shortly after saying that to me, he started severely vomiting blood and died due to blood loss." I took a moment to compose myself. "For the next 3 years I was on the street, long story, then for another 3 I was in an orphanage getting turned down because the people looking had seen me on the street. Then...hell happened, I was taken in by a young couple who seemed to be okay. But then they took me in, after about a year the husband turned into the stereotypical abusive drunk, with a twist. He would beat me and his wife, but then she would beat me for what her husband did to her. After about five or six years I ran away from them, taking as much money I can hold, I used the money for necessities and training in hand-to-hand combat and with the weapons I know how to use. Then I came here." I said, voice full of sadness, anger, and a little of regret.

"Finally, Luna, I need to tell you something about the demon I am related to." I said.

"What is it Nick?" She asked.

"She is the same demon that...made you..... become Night Mare Moon." I said hesitantly.

"What?" She asked as if she didn't hear me.

" I....said 'She is the same demon that...made you..... become Night Mare Moon.'" I said more hesitantly.

What happened next caught me off guard, she ran at me, grabbed me by the neck and started to beat on me. "BASTARD!!!!!" She screamed-no wailed at me, voice full of pain and sorrow.

"Whats going on!!??" Celestia said as she barged down the door, then she saw Luna beating me. "And put Nick down NOW!" She yelled.

"NO THIS TRAITOR IS RELATED TO THE DEMON THAT CAUSED ME TO BECOME THAT AWFUL PONY!!!!!!" Luna wailed, with more anger.

"......What?" Celestia asked.

"You heard me!!" Luna said, getting exhausted.

"Nick...is this true?" She asked, eyes tearing up. I slowly, hesitantly, against all things telling me not to, nodded. "Why....didn't you say anything?"

"Because....Faust told me not to." I said as Luna let me go and passed out from exhaustion. "I'm so, so, so sorry!" I said tears and my blood running down the entirety of my body.

Chapter 8

"Do you think I ENJOY knowing that part of the reason I am the way I am is the same reason Luna and you spent 1000 years in solitude, yours being more metaphorical? Or that I never have quietly, in the back of my mind wondered about killing myself!? HAVE YOU, DO YOU!!!!??" I yelled, waterfalls of tears running down my eyes.

"...I...no...." Celestia said.

"Don't worry, after tomorrow there won't be a reason to be upset." I said, drying my eyes.

"What?" She asked

"I'm killing the demon, my ancestor." I said. "The reason I'm not now is because I need to sleep, I'm tired, if I tried right now, I'd die on the spot." I said. "I'm going to sleep." I said a as I crawled into bed.

As I saw Faust again a said, "You know what I am going to ask, where is the demon?" I asked.

"In a cave, deep in the Everfree." She said. "But you will need these." She said as she summoned a suit of armor complete with helmet and a sword. "You also need this,l but it'll hurt."

"Go for it." I said. Faust nodded as her horn glowed white and she touched my forehead with the tip. My forehead was THROBBING with pain as I rolled on the floor in agony. As it subsided I asked, "What WAS that?"

"I have given you knowledge of many spells, as well as the ability to learn new ones at an accelerated speed compared to normal ponies." Faust explained.

"farewell." I said as I woke up. After I woke up I saw Luna still asleep on the floor. "Good." I said to myself as I got changed into a white undershirt and some light sweats. I then grabbed my armor with my new levitation magic (BTW my magic aura is black). I carried it with me as I opened a window and used my demon wings (..Guess I forgot to mention those didn't I...) to fly to the Everfree forest, determined to slaughter the demon responsible for Celestia and Luna's 1000 year torment.

When I arrived near the cave I felt like something was off, like this was too easy to be the one who brought about Night Mare Moon. I also knew that somepony was watching me. Before I entered the cave I put my armor on over my cloths. I entered the cave while using an orb of light, and I saw that there was a narrow path and then a large open area. I walked into it and noticed something all over the floor, I didn't even have o look down. The liquid was pony blood. "Hey there Nightmare, Its your great,great grandson. Are you going to say hello?" I asked.

"Oh hello Nick I hadn't noticed you walking in. Do you like what I've done with the place?" Nightmare asked motioning to the floor.

"No, no I do not." I said.

"Hey kid, where's your family, they were supposed to-"

"Shut up, they are dead. They were beaten, my mother died from it and my father died about an hour later." I interrupted, anger rising, she knew all of this. My head started hurting.

"Well I bet your new parents loved you as much as your real ones." She said, and THAT put me over the edge. My head's pan rising, my teeth hurt, my eyes feel weird, my dark power growing (STILL not an inuendo).

I walked closer to Nightmare. "You know what, let's do something fun." I said continuing to walk, hitting her in the stomach as I finished.

"Let's make this a good time." We said in unison as I teleported towards the beginning of the room we were in.

I raised the sword Faust gave me "I shall christen this blade in your blood!" I said as I ran at her. Once I got close enough I swung my blade at her but she dodged

"COME ON I BET YOUR FATHER HITS HARDER!" Nightmare said. She then rushed at me, I got ready but the attack came from behind and I looked at myself in the blood, Black hair, Sharp teeth, and eyes that were like Night Mare Moon's except they were dark green and blood red in the outer-part and iris respectively.

"Insult me all you want..." Nightmare looked at me with pure terror, "BUT NOPONY AND I MEAN NOPONY TALKS ABOUT MY FATHER LIKE THAT!!!!" I yelled as I rushed at her. As I got close I teleported behind her and I cut her head off. Her blood, was black and spewing everywhere. Feeling satisfied, I reverted to normal. "Hey girls, like what you saw?" I asked the elements, knowing that they were watching the fight.

"That was...." Rainbow started.

"I don't care." I interrupted bluntly,"It was the demon's fault." I said, she was the one who caused Celestia and Luna's suffering." I said, "So ancestor or not I killed it." I said.

"Wait the demon that was your ancestor..."Twilight started.

"Yes she was my demonic ancestor, now girls do me a favor, don't go around telling everypony about this. Now I am NOT asking you to lie for me, nut if possible I would like to be the one to reveal this about myself." I said, I saw the edges of my vision going black. "Twilight, can you do me a favor and take us home?" I asked as I passed out from exhaustion.

Chapter 9

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Chapter 10

The scream seemed to be from the center of PonyVille so that's where I ran to, when I got there I saw a griffin yelling at FluterShy and ducks running away.(Pieced it together) "Hey, griffon. Stop yelling for a moment." I said.

"What do- what ARE you anyway?"

"Nick Fitzgerald, human the one who fought Night Mare Moon, ring any bells?" I asked.

"What do you want?" The griffon asked next.

"Well if we are being honest I'd like it if you stopped yelling at that shy pegasus." I said flatly. "I'd also like to know what a griffin, a carnivore, Is doing in a town of ponies?"

"What makes you think it's your business anyway!?" The griffin yelled back.

"Hey you asked what I wanted, I said just that." I said. This seemed to put her over the deep end because she let out a loud screech and ran at me with her talons ready to strike, I was caught off guard and was scratched in the face. She the griffin started to attack more so I started dodging her blows until she was tired. "You done yet?" I asked not amused.

"N-Not yet!" She yelled as she started attacking again.

I caught one of her punches and held her fist in place. "Stop, You are exhausted and this is the closest thing to hitting me you have done since this started!" I said. "Now, I am going to let you go, and if you don't stop I WILL fight back and considering I haven't broken a sweat yet, I highly recommend stopping" I said as I let her fist go.

"D-Don't think this is over!" The griffin yelled as she flew away.

Yeah, I at least will have to explain my injuries to Twilight, and the confrontation to Rainbow. I walked back to Twilight's house knowing that walking around with cuts on my face wasn't the best idea Damn it, that griffin, Gilda messed up my walk!

I got back to the library and after explaining everything to Twilight, she healed my wounds. I looked in a mirrior and saw four talon marks (Two of witch go down and over an eye). I also saw the gash down my back (I was slow a dodge.) and sighed.

Later that day I was at a party and knew it was for Gilda, I also could tell that Gilda lied about how our confrontation went. But I was surprised me was that Dash didn't scream or yell at me.

As the party went on I watched as Gilda was getting pranked, she blamed Pinkey bit I saw that it was Rainbow that was setting them up. But then my heart sank slightly "Nick, get over here." Rainbow said, anger slipping into her voice. I went over to her. "Why were you fighting Gilda for no reason!?" She yelled at me, more anger present in her tone.

"WHAT!? Me fight HER!? Do you NOT see that I am covered in scratch marks while SHE has not even the slightest mark!?" I yelled back, anger and betrayal flooding me and my voice.

"Apologize!" Rainbow said, clearly not listening of what I said.

"Whatever." I said as I walked over to her. "Look Gilda, I said some things, and I am sorry, I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me." I said to Gilda, trying to sound as sincere as possible.

"Whatever, I don't need an apology from an utter dweeb!" She said, scorn, disrespect her voice, but above all else she had a knowing smile on her face.

That sent me over the edge. I felt the demon power rising in me. "Whatever Gilda, I don't need to apologize to a lazy griffin who is SO stubborn that she can't take an apology much less give one out!!!" I yelled, finishing as I slammed the door shut. I took off my top but held on to it, let my wings out and I flew away as fast as possible.

As I landed in the Everfree I knew somepony was watching me but I didn't acknowledge them, instead I started hitting trees. After some of my anger subsided I called out to the pony watching me. "Hey, you like what you see or something!? Come out!"

I saw Applejack and Rainbow Dash come out from behind trees "How did you know?" They asked together.

"You two suck at stealth." I said. "Now what do you two want? I doubt that you two came here to see me hit trees." I said

"I wanted to know what really happened and I brought AJ to make sure you tell the truth." Dash said.

"Okay Rainbow, (I told them about our confrontation). Now while I WILL admit that I was a little out of line in my words, that at least to me, doesn't excuse her entirely either." I said, finishing sternly

"He's telling the truth." AJ said somewhat flatly.

"i.....I'm sorry I got mad at you without hearing your side." Rainbow said, many tears (especially for Rainbow) slipping out.

"Rainbow, I forgive you, just don't make this mistake again." I said, trying to comfort the crying mare. "Let's go home and tell nopony about this." "AJ if anypony asks you, just do us a favor and leave out Rainbow crying." I said. "Rainbow, you need to dry your tears." I said wiping her eyes.

"Don't worry about us non' we'll be fine." AJ said holding Dash.

"Okay..." I said as I put on my shirt and walked back to PonyVille.

Chapter 11

When I got into town I got stares, I knew that was gonna happen. What I didn't expect was a hand slapping me square in the face. "What WAS THAT!!??" Twilight yelled. "WHAT WAS IT ABOUT, WHY-"

"Please Twilight, don't bother me about it right now. I'll explain to everypony tomorrow. A lot happened in the forest." I said, she nodded but was clearly still VERY mad at me. "Look I know me not saying what happened probably doesn't make you happy, but let's calm down and get some sleep." I said as I took her hand and started walking to the library.

I saw Faust again tonight and she looked a little too excited. "What's going on, why are you so happy?" I asked, slightly worried.

"The Grand Galloping Gala is coming up soon, here is your ticket!" Faust said holding up a ticket.

I took it and said, "Isn't that the party with all those nobles, no thanks. I don't need more stuck up ponies mocking me, got enough of that with Blueblood" I said.

"Just go. It is important." Faust said.

"Important how? Will there be a pony I need to 'take care of'?" I asked, slightly excited.

"No but I DO have my reasons." She said.

"Whatever, I'll go. When is it?" I asked.

"In three days." Faust said.

"Ok, I'll see you again." I said as I woke up.

I walked downstairs and saw the girls (The main 6) sitting and looking at me "Hey you all, what brings you all here?" I asked expecting to get yelled at for yesterday.

"Fluttershy and Rainbow explained what happened with Gilda while we waited for you." Twilight said. That was all it took for me to stop in my tracks.

"....My behavior was inexcusable, I was rude to a- I.........." Was all I could say as I started to sob. "I was rude, I shou-" Was all I could say before I was slapped by Twilight

"Sh- She was rude if not cruel to Fluttershy, SO SHUT UP." Twilight said, crying.

"We are so so so sorry, we believed what Gilda said, Rainbow....was not the only one who assumed without listening to your side of the story." Pinkey said, her hair flatter than a board. "That was no way to treat a friend!" Pinkey said, erupting into tears.

"Look, its okay, it happened, I'll always have next year to have a good birthday." CRAP I said that out LOUD!

That sent Pinkey over the edge. "That was your BIRTHDAY, I'M SO SORRY NICK!!! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!" Pinkey wailed in sorrow.

"Shhhhhhhhhh. It's ok, Pinkey I didn't say anything until now, I'm sorry." I said. "Now let's all calm down, the Gala's in three days and it wouldn't be a good idea to show up soon after crying like this."

After the girls all calmed down I turned to Rarity "Hey Rarity, can you make me a suit for the Gala?" I asked, holding out the ticket.

"O-of Course." Rarity said, excited.

"Okay, I'll come by the boutique in about an hour, to give you some time." I said, "Is that Okay?"

"That's just fine darling." Rarity said, her composure returning.

"Then I'll see you then." I said. "Everypony else all calmed down?" I asked.

"Yeah we are alright." Twilight said, a false smile on her face.

"....Okay, I'm going for a walk to try to forget that yesterday happened, I'll see you later." I said

(You can end the music about now.)

As I was walking I noticed two colts, one a few shades darker than Rainbow, one an orange-yellow color. "Hellow there, what are you two doing?" I asked

"Were going to see the Great and Powerful Trixie, she's vanquished an Ursa major!!" They both said.

"Well alright, goo-" I said

"Wait, you should come too!" The blue one said.

"Alright, why now?" I asked my self quietly. "Sure, I'll see her." I told the two.

"Come one, Come all and see the Great and Powerful...TRIXIE!!" I heard a light blue mare on a mobile stage bellowed as some pyrotechnics went off at confetti shot out.

I saw and heard many ponies clapping and cheering. During the commotion, the girls got up to me. "Hey Nick, have you come to see her too?" AJ asked, annoyed.

"Yeah, she's not all that she is saying. But I also know that she needs to make herself sound amazing to get a crowd." I said.

"Who said that!?" Trixie asked.

"I did Trixie." I said calmly.

"What ARE you!?" She asked. "And what makes you think I am not as impressive as I say?"

"As to you first question, I'm the one who fought with the elements of harmony against Night Mare Moon, Nick Fitzgerald. The answer to you second question is simple, I know for a fact that you haven't slain and can't slay an Ursa major." I said.

"OH and what proof do you have?" She asked smugly.

"That's easy, I know you don't have enough power to." I said, "and I can prove THAT too, I've felt the kind of power an Ursa has, and it is more than what you have." I said. "And unless you want to fight me and prove it, you can't prove me wrong." I said, a challenging tone in my voice.

"Sorry, but the Great and Powerful Trixie doesn't stoop that low." Trixie said, somewhat smugly.

"Aww come on, not even gonna hit me with one spell? Is the Great and POWERFUL Trixie backing down from that much?" I asked

"That's is. You wanted it, here it is!" Trixie yelled as she hurled magic at me, but I made a purple field and the magic she threw dissipated into nothing. "W-what was that!?" Trixie demanded

"Nick...was that n-null. magic!?" Twilight asked.

"Yes, it was nullification magic, it creates a field that is determined by the user and just about any spell that hits the field is canceled on contact, and the only spells that null. magic DOESN'T cancel were made to combat it, however those spells are all forbidden by royal decree." I explained. "So the only real downside to null. magic is that it takes a LOT of magic power to use, most normal unicorns would run out of magic power making the smallest field of it." I explained.

As soon as I stopped talking Trixie threw more magic at me but I just made another null. field. "The only other drawback null. magic is that it requires a little more concentration than most combat spells." I finished.

"H-how did you use it twice, you yourself said any normal unicorn wo-" Trixie started.

"First of all I'm not a unicorn, and as you can tell now, I have much more magical energy than one." I said smugly. "Now unless you have proof of your bold claims I would like to ask you to leave, your yelling is giving me a headache." I said, annoyed.

"This isn't over." Trixie said as she made smoke appear and "disappeared".

"That's what I'm worried about." I said quietly as I walked away.

"How could you do that!!?" Twilight asked.

"What, show up a complete fraud or null. magic?" I asked

"NULL. MAGIC!" Twilight bellowed.

"Calm down Twilight, it's because....I was taught by Faust." I finished quiet enough for only Twilight could hear.

"WHA-"

"Calm down Twilight, I'll explain to you six later." I told her. "Hey Rarity, let's go get the measurementsover with now since I no longer have anything to do." I said

"Sure, let's go darling." Rarity replied, a little too quickly.

Ignoring the speed of Rarity's response I went with her to the boutique. "Alright just try to make this quick."

"Then I will need you to remove all but you undergarments, to get the most accurate measurements possible." Rarity said, quickly.

"Alright, let's get over with." I sighed as I disrobed. I noticed Rarity staring at my scars, "Hey do you like something you see or something?" I asked.

Rarity's face turned redder than a tomato at that. "O-o- no, not particularly - I mea-"

"Clam down, I'm just playing around." I said.

I stood and waited, only moving when Rarity told me to. "alright darling, that should be all I need, you can come back in about an hour or even tomorrow to pick the suit up." Rarity said.

"Thank you Rarity." I said. I then walked out of the boutique and noticed that the sun was starting to set. "Guess I'll pick the suit up first thing tomorrow, then I'll go to Canterlot." I said to myself as I walked back to the library.

When I got to the library I saw Twilight. "Hey Twilight, you wanted to know how I can use the spells I do right?" I asked her.

"YE-I mean, yes I would like to." Twilight said, barely able to control her excitement.

"Now Twilight, I just want you to know this, regular humans can't do magic. So what I am about to say now is NOT true about other humans. Now that you know that I will tell you (I then told her about my first encounter with Faust, leaving out the part about her boobs, and then when Faust gave me knowledge of magic.) There, that is all I know about me being able to use magic." I explained. Then I heard a loud roar coming from outside.

We ran outside and I saw a blue bear that looked like it was made out of stars that was about 1.5 times the size of a house. "An Ursa minor!?" Twilight said shocked.

Ignoring MY shock on how that is only a minor, I started hearing loud crashes and then I saw a bear that was almost twice the size of the minor and was purple. "Let me guess, THAT is a major?" I asked, after receiving a shaky nod from nod from Twilight I said, "Well, I don't know about anypony else but MY say just got a whole lot better." I said sarcasm filling my voice.

Author's Note

Now, you might have noticed that this chapter is a bit longer than the previous ones, I will be trying to make chapters after this one about this long from now on. However I will be going on personal rules (that if asked about I will share) that I will NOT break just for length.
I got this out a little rushed, if there is anything big let me know please.

Chapter 12

"What do you mean Nick?" Twilight asked feeling concerned for me.

"Nothing- just that I get to fight an Ursa major and a minor, at the same time!" I said with fake glee that even Pinkey Pie would notice it, starting to walk towards the two Ursas.

"Why do you have to fight them?" Twilight asked.

Hearing Twilight's question I stopped and looked at her. "Simple Twilight, nopony else is gonna fight them. And if nopony does anything then the town will probably get destroyed by them. Not to mention that they don't look like they are willing to talk things over." I explained. Noticing Twilight starting to look worried I said, "Look Twilight, I don't want to fight them either, but somepony has to. But I promise you that I will come back alive."

"Fine, but I'm holding you to that promise."

"I wouldn't have it any other way." I said as I resumed walking, I snapped my finger to summon my suit of armor. It isn't THAT flashy but still looks cool, having a black phoenix spreading its wings over a vast sea of flames. I then summoned my sword. It is a double edged sword with a black blade with a flashy violet cross guard that has a shiny opal in the middle of it. It's sheath isn't anything special either, It is tied to my back and is made from brown leather, my sword fits quite well in it though.

Having my equipment ready I called out to the beasts. "HEY YOU WANT TO CAUSE ANY MORE DESTRUCTION, you will have to go through me." I said, starting off loud to get the attention of the Ursas, and having captured their attention I ran forward with my sword unsheathed and ready for a good fight.

I decided to go after the minor first so I leaped towards it. The major must have noticed this because it stepped in front of my target, however I was prepared for this. I stopped my forward momentum and jumped up on an arc. I went just over the major and landed on the minor. I then hit the minor in the back of the neck, knocking it out. Unfortunately for me, the major noticed this and got much angrier and ran at me. I wasn't fast enough to dodge as it slammed its paw on me. Fortunately it didn't do that much to me, so I shook it off and jumped back to get some space. The major ran at me again, but this time I was ready so I jumped straight up and landed on the Ursa. Knowing what I was planning the Ursa managed to shake me off. It then hit my gut with the flat of its paw and used the momentum to throw me backwards. I landed in the library and I saw Twilight guarding the door.

"You won't get into my library! Nor will you hurt Nick!!" I heard Twilight yell. After that I heard cloths ripping.

Fearing the worst I sprinted out the door and saw Twilight with three bleeding gashes. I then saw spike run out of the library. "Spike. Take Twilight to the hospital, but take this." I said holding the grip of my sword towards Spike.

"B-But I ca-"

"Look Spike, it is to defend Twilight, and you might not have to use it at all but, I'd just rather know that I left you something to defend yourself with." I explained. "Besides, I won't need it." I said as the whites of my eyes turned green. I saw Spike standing still with the blade in his claws and Twilight on his back, "What are you waiting for!? GO!!" I yelled.

"O-O-Okay." Spike stuttered as he picked up Twilight and started to dart to the hospital.

I then removed the gauntlets from my hands and made my nails grow slightly and come to a sharp point. "Alright Ursa, let's have some FUN SHALL WE!!?" I said sadistically. I got a roar in response and bounded towards the Ursa major.

The Ursa made the first move by trying to slam its paws on me again but I dodged and clawed at the Ursa's leg to at least slow it down, then jumped up on top of it and knocked out with a kick to the back of the neck as well. Then I made sure the minor was still out and started preparing to teleport the two into the cave that I fought Nightmare in so that they couldn't come back for a while.

As I readied the spells two magic circles appeared under the two Ursas, I heard many ponies gasping and I felt my wings being touched. I ignoring it all, finished the spell with a snap of my fingers. In a flash of light the two Ursas were gone. I turned and saw Pinkey touching my left wing. My wings are both jagged, black, and webbed. My left one was mildly less jagged than my right one and had a few layers of feathers covering it. The only notable feature about my right wing that I haven't said is that its more jagged than the left one.

"Well, there isn't anymore hiding it anymore I guess. Pinkey. you know my heritage right?" I asked. Receving a nod I told her. "Then do me a favor, tell them about it. But don't bring up the part about hte demon being the one that made Luna Night Mare Moon unless you are asked to, Okay?"

"Okkie Dokkie Lokie!" She said with a nod and left.

I saw Twilight (in different cloths) returning with Spike. I walked up to them groggily and told Twi. "Listen I'm fine but, after I get my suit tomorrow and read a little from you library, I plan on going to Canterlot to read there. We can talk more about it when I wake up. Because for now...I'm taking...a nap." As I finished I passed out from exhaustion, and after Twilight and Spike checked for wounds I was placed into bed in my room.

I saw Faust in my sleep again tonight. "Hey there Faust. How are you doing tonight?" I greeted.

"I am doing well. I have called you tonight because after some extra thought, I have decided to tell you why I am having you go to the Gala." Faust said. Then her face turned from one of joy, into one of despair and she said, "It is because of Luna, she doesn't feel accepted and-" Faust started

"You want me to talk to her to show her that there are some out there that see her a Luna and not Night Mare Moon, right" I finished.

"Yes, but just know that I am not asking you to lie to her. But I am confident that if somepony talks to her, she might regain a little confidence in herself.

"Sure, anything for her." I said. "I mean you!" I quickly corrected as a massive blush covered my face.

Faust laughed at me for a moment. When her composure returned she asked, "So you love her?"

"Honestly, yeah. We are in similar positions and stuff. So, yes I do care about her...but I also carry feelings for Celestia, I'm not sure if it is just because she was the first pony to accept me or if it 's TRUE love." I said. "Either way, I don't plan on doing much more than casual conversation with anypony at the Gala."I decided.

"Aright then, just know that while it may or may not have been allowed, but in THIS world a male can be in a relationship with as many females as desired, as long as everypony involved agrees anyway" She said.

My eyes widened at this and after my composure had returned I looked her with a serious face and told her, "Alright, well either way I plan on waiting till after the Gala to make progress towards a serious relationship."

As I started to wake up Faust said, "Search the library when you start reading its books, there is a secret room to which your magic is the key, and within it are my final physical gifts."

I woke up the next morning with my legs sore and a mild headache. I stretched out my legs and noticed that I wasn't on the ground but was instead, on my bed. I hope Twilight isn't mad about yesterday

I walked downstairs and saw the girls...except Pinkey looking at me with dare I saw pure rage in their eyes.... I gotta stop tempting fate...even in my thoughts.

"Well?" I heard Rarity say. "Want to tell us something darling?"

"Look girls, I was going to say something, please believe me. But then I figured that if Celesta hasn't said anything about it then I shouldn't go telling everypony." I explained. I say Twilight's mouth opened and said, "And look you all know as well I do that I consider six friends. But at the same time, friendship at least doesn't outweigh royalty, weather I like it or not." I said as I started to cry "B-B-But when I told Luna...she beat me up....till I was bleeding....It took Celestia to stop her..........and I don't want to lose you....six like that.......you six are the...... best friends I could ask for! I don't want to lose you because I'm a monster like Nightmare!" I said with waterfalls coming from my eyes.

"And you wont." I heard Twilight say.turned to he, still crying. "You heard me, we are still your friends, your heritage doesn't change who you are, right girls"

"Right" The other five said.

Author's Note

I just have a few things to say.
1 While I described the sword and armor using a decent amount of words, I ALSO tried to avoid any other long descriptions to speed up the action.
2 The Gala's going to start next chapter.
3 Is Ursas the correct plural for Ursa?
4 Just for future reference: when he makes his nails grow and uses them I am referring
5 "Okkie Dokkie Lokie" Is that how you spell it?
6 Just so you know this means emphasis THIS means just saying it loud
7 I MIGHT try perspective/pov changes soon to try to get a feel for them because I want to try something much later in the story, but if I'm shitty at perspective/pov change then I won't do it

Chapter 13

"...Thanks for that girls, it means a lot to me." I said. After drying my face and trying to regain my composure I asked, "Hey Rarity, is my order at the boutique ready?" "I am going to Canterlot to read at the library before the gala." I explained.

"Yes, you can pick it up when you are ready later today." She answered.

"Okay, thank you Rarity." I said as she and the rest of Twilight's friends left the library. "Hey Twilight, can you do me a huge favor?" I asked.

"What is it?" She asked.

"Unless Celestia asks you a question that calls for it as the answer, don't tell Celestia about any of this." I said. "And I am not asking this to try to keep some image, I just don't want word of me breaking down like that spreading too far, and I'll tell her myself after the gala, I'm staying a day or two afterwards for a few things, mainly to talk so I'll mention it then...is that alright?" I explained then asked.

"S-...Sure thing Nick." She replied after some thought.

"Okay Twilight, I'm just gonna go and get my outfit for the gala. When I get back I plan on teleporting me and some of my stuff to my room in the castle. I need to ask the princesses a few things the day after the gala, I also want Celestia to know that I told you girls about this before the gala." I told her. "I-Is that alright with you?" I asked, not wanting to anger the one currently housing me.

"Sure, that's okay."

"Then I'll be back in a minute." I said as I left the library.

On the way to get my cloths for the gala I got mixed looks, a few seemed to be curious, most looked either scared of me and a very small few gave caring looks. I feet better now, than when I left just knowing that not everypony thinks I'm a terrible monster just for my demonic side.

I walked in to the boutique with a smile on my face, "Hey Rarity, I'm here for my order." I said as I saw her walk up the counter. "S-So.... how much will it be?" I asked hesitantly

"Don't worry about payment, darling. The first order from any costumer is always free." She said with a genuine smile on her face as she held out the tuxedo.

"Okay, thank you so much Rarity." I said as I turned to leave.

"Your welcome darling." Rarity said as I left the boutique. I got a similar assortment of looks on the way back to the library.

"Hey Twilight, I'm back!" I called as I entered.

"Hello Nick, how did it go?" Twilight asked as she walked downstairs.

"Quite well, nothing I didn't expect." I said.

"What is that supposed to mean?" She asked.

"I got a few scared looks as I walked there, but I was caught off guard when a few ponies looked like they cared." I said. "But don't worry Twi. I'm fine, I expected a few bad looks after what happened last night."

"Okay, if you say so." She said worriedly.

"Well, I should get going. Bye Twilight." I said as I walked towards the stairs.

"See you at the gala." Twilight said as she walked towards the kitchen.

I walked into my room and sighed, "Oh boy, this is gonna take it out of me." I began to focus on me and the stuff I wanted to teleport: My bed, assassin bag, dresser, and tuxedo. I then summoned my magic.

With a snap I was in the castle in my room. "Man, it feels good to see this place again." I sighed as I laid down on my bed.

"Hey, who's in there!" I heard a voice call from the other side of the door, I then heard struggling at the knob.

"Hold on I'm coming." I said as I got up and walked over.

When I opened it I saw a white stallion with a mane that was blue with a streak of light blue, and was wearing armor that was flashier than usual guard armor. "Wh- What are you, and why are you here?" The stallion asked as he lifted his sword.

"I am Nick Fitzgerald, Human, the one who fought Night Mare Moon with the elements of harmony. This is my room, if you don't believe anything I said then go ask the princesses." I said not amused.

"You, go verify what was said." The guard, that I am guessing is the captain said.

"Well, you have my name, what's yours? I am guessing that you are of higher rank than most of the guards here." I said.

"I am Captain Shining Armor, and yes I am in charge of the royal guards. Now how did you get in there, nopony other than the princesses have been able to." He said sternly but equally curious.

"I teleported, but as far as who can enter, I am as clueless as you. But if I had to guess, I'd say the princesses sealed it somehow." I told Shining.

Then the guard then came back with Celestia right behind him. "Oh hello there Nick, what brings you here? Well, come we have much to discuss" She said. At this the guards started making way for me to get to her.

I walked through the path made and when I got to her a bowed my head. "I came because I got this." I said as I showed her my gala ticket. "I am also here to read in the library. And well....let's just say Ponyville know about my lineage." I finished as we got out of an earshot of the guards.

"Well...that isn't good, why did you reveal yourself?" She asked.

"Because yesterday Ponyville got attacked by an Ursa Major and a minor. I only used my power to defend the town......I-I'm sorry Celestia." I said starting to get upset from remembering all the looks I got. T-They looked at me....like a.......like I was... NO get a hold of your self, your friends accept you and maybe in time they will too

"Is something wrong?"

"No Celestia, nothing is wrong." I lied as I put on the best fake smile I can.

"...Okay."

"If you'll excuse me this is where I need to be." I said as I walked into the library. "Okay now I just need to start reading. But first, where is that secret room Faust mentioned? I looked around and noticed 5 slight indentations that looked like I could fit my finger through.

I then made a magical copy of myself and had it begin reading. Then I began to examine the indents. I tried sticking my fingers in them but nothing happened. Then a stupid idea came to my mind however, considering my lack of smart ones I went with it. I charged a little of my magic into my fingers then put my fingers in. Weirdly, that worked and a door started opening.

I then rushed in and closed the door. When I got a good look at the room I saw only a table with a bag similar to my assassin bag. I curiously opened it and found 4 things.
1. some books of old, forbidden, and powerful magic
2. a note explaining that this room is exclusively mine to do whatever I please in
3. A belt holding about 25 throwing knives
4. a list of duties to preform as an assassin, and my fist target, seems like an okay one for my first templar.

The target's name: Shifty Deal
Gender: Male
Profession: Real Estate (Plans to kill Celestia)
Race: Earth Pony
My Job: Kill him before he can kill Celestia then get out
Target's ETA: 2:30 P.M. the day of the gala

I looked it over and noticed there was an envelope with evidence of his involvement with the Templars and illegal dealings. I then put everything away and teleported back into my room. Then I noticed it was about 12:00 so I left and looked for the dining hall for lunch. When I got there I saw the prince leaving with a light smirk on his face.

Cautiously, I entered and saw I plate with random meats with my name next to it. I then saw the cook and asked, "Did BlueBlood have to do with that?"

"You are a carnivore right?" The cook asked.

"No. Humans are omnivores, they can eat plants too. But a nice pasta dish would be nice. Thank you for trying with the meat though, I appreciate it." I said thankfully. "A word to the wise, if it is regarding me don't completely trust Blueblood about anything unless somepony else confirms it." I said.

"Alright." The cook said as she left to cook my meal.

I want to know so much...yet I don't know where to go...none of the books in the library have helped.... I was thinking as my plate arrived. "Thanks...Ummmm..."

"Prefect Serve-"

"Thank you very much Prefect Serve, Its very delicious." I said thankfully. I enjoy pasta the most out of ANY meal, and you make it so good. Yeah it's just putting them in water, but this tastes SOOO good. Therefore, I thank you once again." I said

"Y-your welcome."

"Well, I have 1 last thing I MUST do before the gala. Farewell." I said as I left for my room.

I got to my room and say Luna looking at my dresser. "Why is this dresser uneven, maybe something is underneath it?" She said.

"Hey Luna, why are you looking through my stuff, did something roll in or something?" I asked. At that Luna quickly.

"What art thou- Oh Nick,Uh..well thou-"

"Luna, calm down."

"We were passing by when a peculiar noise came from in here along with an odd light so we came in to ensure that nopony had come in, then thou came in." She said.

"Okay, I believe you but just for the future, that was probably me teleporting something in here, my magical aura or whatever you call the light that appears when somepony uses a spell, is black, was that the color you saw?" I asked as I levitated a pillow behind her and showed it to her.

"Yes...we think so. Yes it was." She confirmed.

"Okay, well, I need to get dressed for the gala...sooo-"

"O-Oh w-w-we are sorry we shall l-l-l-leave immediately!" Luna stammered as she left.

When Luna left I pulled my assassin bag out from under the dresser she was looking at. I'm just glad she didn't see this before I got here...or at least I hope she didn't....

When it was out I moved it into the gap between the bed and the floor. "Better, for now. Well, I have to get dressed, the gala is starting. So after what felt like hours of carefully putting on my tuxedo, I grabbed my ticket and walked out of the castle and into the gala as it started.

Author's Note

1st, before a certain someone KILLS me for this. All I said in the comments was that the gala would start during this chapter, I said no more than that.
And one more thing, let me explain the target better, The target is a real estate pony who works for the templars and he plans to make a deal with Celestia that gives the templars A TON of land for next to nothing, and if this goes south he will kill her and fake her signature to get the land. It's Nick's job to make sure Celestia doesn't die and that the deal doesn't go through by killing the templar before Celestia can agree (if she does)

If you want mission briefs like this someone comment it and if it gets more than 10 thumbs up I'll change it from then on.

And finally, I want to make something clear, I know for a fact as many do. This story isn't anywhere NEAR prefect...and all that crap. Please, if you think something is bad tell me about it, I can't promise anything about time but I WILL see it eventually. After that I will make the needed changes. AS LONG AS you are at least somewhat nice, I WILL not respond if you insult me, I, like other people don't like getting insulted. IF I SEE an insult ANYWHERE in the comment, I will stop reading and delete the comment as of 7/27/2016. Thank you and good day.
