Taylor slowly opens his eyes as his vision slowly returns. He was laying on something rather soft and comfortable. He sits up and suddenly lets out a low grunt of pain. Yep,his body was very sore alright. He noticed that his jacket and boots were taken off of his body, he looked around to find his coat hanging on a coat hanger and his boots resting below it. At least they didn't strip him down this time! Then again, that was a hospital, they had to do their job after all. He looked around at the room. It wasn't what he had expected. Instead of white marble walls with gold trimming, it was dark blue with black trimmings, and black curtains that lead out to a balcony that looked over the city below. It suddenly hit him. Was this Luna bedroom?! He quickly looks around, not really seeing anything that would belong to her, letting out a long sigh of relief.

"If I was actually in her room...I think my heart would explode again. I haven't ever been in a female's room before...let alone a mare's room."

He spoke to himself with a nervous chuckle. There was a knock at the door that made him jump a bit, then he remembered that Luna would be stopping by.

"Taylor, it's Luna. May I come in?"

"Yes Lulu, come in."

Luna enters in the room, a small blush on her face as she heard what she called him, closing the door behind her and approaching the human who was now making sure the content of his coat was still there. He would pull out that strange device again, and then he pulls out this small black pipe thing. Luna's curious eyes hit him hard as she got closer

"Y-you called me Lulu."

"Well of course Lulu, we are friends now aren't we? Its only natural we don't use formalities anymore. Plus...I think Lulu is rather cute."

Her blush would only redden as she heard this, she shook her head quickly and would change the subject

"I noticed that you carry around these odd objects, I remember the little square device you had. But what is this one you are currently holding?"

She asked as she pointed her hoof to his baton. Taylor would smile widely and turns to face her. bringing his weapon to his right and lifting it so it pointed away from her. He would flips the switch as a black steel rod extended out to three feet, surprising Luna in the process, making her wings nearly stiffen. Taylor would laugh lightly and twirls and shows off his weapon with expertise.

"This is this blind man's weapon of choice. I had this little beauty custom made. It has the same weight and properties as a normal sword, but instead of causing cutting and slashing damage, it apply blunt force trauma, and I even had something a little extra installed."

Taylor squeezes the handle a bit more firmly this time, suddenly a snapping and sparking would be heard from the weapon, though the irony of this hit him hard

"Its funny...I don't even need to use the stun feature on this thing now. Since i can control lightning now..."

Luna looked up to him with a worried and serious look, motioning him to follow her out to the balcony, it was about time to raise the moon

"About that Taylor. What...happened to you earlier? We were very very worried about you after what you went through back in the throne room...I was especially worried. Especially since you are my first friend who accepted who I was with such ease."

"Well Lulu, all I can say, is that I felt something growing inside of me. I think my abilities is developing now that I am in a world of magic. I am guessing, from my experience is that with a world that has such an abundance of it, my 'container' his growing as it fills over and over."

Taylor felt kind of silly using a reference from one of his favorite animes, but it was the best way he could describe the feeling. He looks down at his hand, watching a small strand on lightning pop out every now and then, then back out over the city.

"Lulu....I am scared...I have never ever used magic in my life. And now I have something so dangerous in my hands that I could possibly lose control again and hurt peop-...ponies I do not intent to hurt. Especially if one of those ponies is the first friend I have ever truly made."

Luna would look to him with concern again, bringing a arm around his side and nuzzles into his side gently

"If it would help you Taylor, I would be happy to teach you how to help you control and even improve your abilities. Should to have me as a teacher."

Taylor would rub his chin in thought at the opportunity to learn and improve his newfound abilities, and to learn with Luna was even better!

"Sounds good Lulu...I think you would be able to teach me better than your sister anyways. I really feel she wouldn't...really have the patience to teacher someone like me. I feel that she thinks I am a bit of a troublemaker. But then, that just may be my paranoia kicking in."

"I and my sister spoke about you while you were sleeping.....you couldn't be any further from the truth Taylor. My sister is actually over the moon with you. She even told me that she found you rather handsome, especially since you aren't a pony. I couldn't agree more with her. You look decently fit, and despite the mask you wear, you have a rather adorable face. And you aren't just all muscle. So the lucky mare you will eventually have feelings for will have someone to cuddle up to and keep her warm at night..."

Taylor would wonder why she was springing this on him all the suddenly, his would arch a brow once more. Luna suddenly caught herself from what she was saying and buries her face in her hooves. letting out an adorable little whine

"I am so...so sorry Taylor..I didn't mean to.."

"Its alright Lulu...actually I take that as a compliment. No female back in my world ever really noticed me. I was the kind of guy who stayed in the shadows and simply observed. So, even back when I was a child, I never really developed a crush on anyone. I went through my life focusing on myself. And now I am here. With you Lulu. My first ever real friend. And honestly...it feels good...it's something I thought I would never get to experience. Thank you Lulu."

He said this as he knelt down and wrapped his arms around her gently, closing his eyes and nuzzling into her. Luna would smile brightly and returns the gesture. Taylor couldn't help but think to himself as she was this close to him

"She...smells really nice..."

Whoa whoa there Taylor! What do ya think your doing there?! Back to your mindset! He would then release her from his embrace, Luna would get a bit of a disappointed look, but not enough for him to see it. Taylor would walk over to his boots and over to the bed he rested on earlier. He sits down and starts putting them on, then his slides on his coat and makes sure its all nice and snug. He then looks to Luna, seeing the sun fall behind her. He figured he would ask her since it was about that time.

"I need to head back to Ponyville Lulu, I promised a certain pink party pony I would go to the welcoming party she would prepare for me. But first...may I....watch you raise the moon?"

He said as he would fidget with the sleeves of his coat. But to his surprise, Luna couldn't have looked happier as she heard his question, she would surroundhis arm in her magical aura and pulls him onto the balcony.

"Yes! I would love for you to watch!"

She said in a rather adorable and cute tone on her voice, then clearing her throat and would nod

"I mean...yes, you may."

And with that, Luna's horn would glow her respected color, and she lifts into the air and splays out her wings, the moon rising behind her. The moonlight combined with her display of magic was...a sight to behold indeed. Taylor's thoughts began to wander again

"The moon here is so beautiful...she is so beautiful..."

A mental knock to head was delivered once more as I he was in meditation,and a monk found his worldly thoughts. After she would finish up, Taylor began to clap in appraisal

"It is even better now that I got to see it in person, Very well done Lulu. The stars are very lovely as well."

Luna hide her face in her flowing mane at the compliment he had so generously given, she would walk up to him and lookup.suddenly she rear back on her hind legs and would wrap her front hooves around him in a warm hug, he would blink slightly but would return the hug. He felt her shaking a bit. He couldn't help but chuckle lightly as he knew what she was feeling. H would have to leave for now, and being seperated from a friend wasn't easy.

"Lulu...hey don't worry. I am only going to Ponyville for a week so you can get things ready here for me when it is time to teach me. I mean...couldn't you come visit me in your free time? I understand you have night court to deal with., but who's to say, you cant come visit me in my dreams huh? I would be more than happy to have you keep me company while my body slumbers."

This made Luna smile as he was making valid points. Taylor was one...despite his attitude and the way he was, who was rather very optimistic. He was like this for people he knew who were down. And did his best to bring a smile to their faces. Bet it a little joke, or just someone who would listen

"Yes...yes you are right Taylor. And i look forward to your return when it is time that I teach you. Until then..please be safe. We shall see you when you slumber."

The two gave one more final hug before he turned away from her, heading out the door and leaving Luna to her own devices. He couldn't help but hear an adorable happy squeal from behind the door as he walked away, this made him stop and smile lightly

"Until then lulu..." he said to himself as he began to walk down the halls. Asking guard which way the exit was, they guided him. As he walked neari the exit of the castle, Celestia was watching him from the shadows. He would stop, his head lowered and not even looking to her.

"I am not sure what Lulu told me about what you thought of me was true. Regardless...thank you for helping me out. Your sister is a very special mare. And she needs someone to be there for her. We have forged a friendship. While i do not completely trust her or any of you fully. You have been nothing but kind to me. So thank you."

He said as he would begin to walk away towards the door, reaching his hand out and placing it on the handle

"And thank you, Taylor."

"He would stop, and turn his head a little towards her

"Thank you for becoming her friend. She has had so much trouble ever since she returned from her exile to the moon. As I am sure you are aware it was something that I couldn't avoid. But now that she has returned, and now that you are here. I believe things will get better for my little sister. While you may not trust us yet. I believe in you and your gentle heat and protective natural. And you will do your best to keep her, and any other friends you make from harm. So again, thank you."

Taylor listened to her voice, behind that warm motherly tone was...sincerity. Something he still hasn't gotten used to. He would simply nod.

"Should Luna ever need me for anything while I am not here, Please send for me. And should you need anything as well, send for me. I will not let this second chance go to waste."

he said as he would walk out of the door and close it behind him. Celestia could only smile as a potential friend for herself as well as Twilight and her friends would leave. Taylor would walk through the courtyard, his head still down, he was deep in thought. Everything that had happened up to this point. It hit him like a ton of bricks. His second chance. To make himself and others around him happy. To be one they could cometo for anything for good or for bad. It would seem, that fate dealt him a cruel death. To simply start him over with something that he had always wanted in his life. Just a little bit of happiness he never got when back in his home realm. He made a promise to himself at that moment, he will protect that happiness with his life. He looks down at his hands, and pulls them into fists,lightning sparking from them. With this power, no matter how he would use it. none of his friends will ever be left to sadness or suffering while he still breathes. No matter what he had to do...even kill some other being to do it. The leader of the Immortal Wolves was now real...even though his legion was simply a fantasy.Now that Taylor had power. He could be just like Osamu. Brave and protective. Making sure his allies never fell, and would be there to urge them on with his optimism.

Taylor would suddenly come out of his train of thought by white unicorn with a long blond mane looking at him with a disgusted stare

"SO then, you are the one that the princesses were fawning over. Ugh...look at you. Such a beastly looking creature and you have the nerve to wander about our fine courtyard like you own the place? How unrefined you are beast. And the way you are dressed, no wonder they fear you. You reek of evil intentions."

Taylor would shift his gaze to the snobbish unicorn with a cold stare, with that glare and those eyes of his, he saw Bluebood's face go paler than his body already was, his blood freezing at Taylor's shadowy gaze. Taylor would turn to him and slowly walk to him. his heavy boots echoing against the stone. Blueblood would see this and start to panic

"S-stay back you monster! Don't come near me with your filth!"

Taylor would walk ever so closer to him, taking out his baton and extending it. Sending his own electrical current through it now. His dark glare still apparent in his eyes. Blueblood would panic more and throws a lightning spell from his horn. The stream of lightning was caught as Taylor put his other hand in front of him, absorbing it within his body. He would finally get in front of Blueblood and would lift his baton over his head. He would swing down with force. Blueblood closed his eyes hard waiting for the blow, pathetic whimpering came from him as he did. But, the strike never came.

"Listen here you arrogant and miserable waste of life. I am only going to say this once. You cause me or any of my friends any trouble. You can kiss that horn of yours goodbye. And I will explain to the princesses I was either defending them, or myself from your idiotic decisions. So tread carefully, noble trash."

And with that, he swings his baton to the side and retracts it, turning away and leaving Blueblood in a jelly puddle. He makes his way to a chariot that had been prepared for his departure back to Ponyville. He would see Shattering Hammer would be accompanying him again. Taylor bowed his head in greeting and climbed onto the chariot. Few words were spoken between the two, but a smirk on Shattering Hammer's muzzle appeared

"Thanks for knocking down that arrogant bastard down a peg. I enjoyed to look of terror on his face."

"I should have hit him when I had the chance...but, I am the better ma- pony for walking away when i did. But it was fun seeing that snob cower in fear. he had it coming."

They both chuckled, and the rest of the ride to Ponyville was silent.
