"Donovan"

That voice it was faint very faint almost as if it was miles maybe even more away, i dont know were i am to honest its all just a black nothingness but i should be used to this...right?

"Donovan...wake up" zelda said shaking me, my eyes shot open and i sat up striaght. "Oh finally your awaks its been four days" she said.

"Better than years so were am i? The last thing i remember was...being sent to the moon with nightmare" i said my voice cracking up and a tear wanting to come out, but i cleared my throat and wiped the tear away. "Is...everyone safe?" Asked her she nodded, she helped me up and walked me over to faust but she was talking to two other people one had long white hair that reached his shoulders, he had one black horn on the right side of his head, he wore a chest peice that looked like it was made of souls and fire his pants were black and white very odd and his shoes were some beaten up black boots. The woman next to him had beautiful pale white skin with long flowing golden hair she made it into a braided ponytail, she wore something i would see goddess wear a pure white dress with gold trimmings and a small golden belt around her waist but i could tell piss her off lets just say you wont see the next sun rise. There weapons were strange the mans weapons were two huge sickles with a blue edge on each of them and on his hip was a 44. Caliber so fuck with him your either gonna have your brains stabbed out or shot out. The womans weapon was a long blue blade that reached to her heel and had a black and gold hilt and guard.

"You want to what?!" Faust asked the two clearly not happy to what they were asking.

"Faust you heared us we want to train him to weild our power properly maybe even controll hus demon form" the man said his voice deep and smooth also a bit demonic.

"Do you know how dangerous that is for him imagine if he lost control in equis im skrry but im gonna have ti say no" fasut said sternly to the two.

"Awe but fausty what happens when he loses control again and we didnt train him to control it hmm?" the woman asked her voice as soft as fluttershy and as smooh as honey.

"But...but...*sigh* Ok but if he goes out of control so help the gods I'll send my foot right up booth of your asses" she said making me laugh.

"Oh man never thought i here the saint herself curse for shame faust" i said gaining hers and the man and womans attention. "So who are you guys i remember hearing voices when i passed out so mind telling me?" I asked them.

"Im julia the goddess of life its nice to meet you god of time " julia said suprising me with the new title.

"Um im not quiet to that level yet so hero of time is fine julia" i said she nodded and smiled warmly to me. "So um whats your name dude?" I asked the man he grunted and turned his head. "Ok...uh you can tell me later i guess, so whats this about you two training me?" I asked them, julia went over to a shelf and took something out and tossed it to me. I caught it and looked at the title. "The basics of god magic...so your gonna teach me how to use my God magic?" I asked.

"Lets get this straight boy, that is nkt your magic that is half of mine and julias so dont go around saying that its your magic got it" the man said grabbing me by the shirt.

"Geez calm down old man i mean it is in my body right?" I said he didnt seem to like how i called him old man so he throw me through two stacks of book shelfs. "Oh man that hurt...so i guess you dont like being called old man huh?" I asked sitting up then dodged another punch from him.

"Aesma stop right now were here to help not fight" julia said making aesma look back to her then me and he huffed then walked back to julia. "Im sorry but my love is very easily angered so you will have to bear with it" she said i nodded as i got to my feet.

"Aye no problem i also have tendency of fighting about small things so me and the old man almost the same" i said he growled at me but julia giggled at her lovers dis-agreement. "So when can we start im excited to learn more about my magic" i said.

"Well we dont enough time for a full entire lesson which takes um...fourty years but we can teach you what the important stuff is meaning controlling your demon and god form, your magic, and strength but seeing as you have muscle that woild be easy but lets see if we can make it as tough as aesma" she said.

"Gow tough is his skin?" I asked her she summond a dagger and stabbed him in the arm but it barely did anything it just cracked and shatterd making my eyes wide. "Damn...so when can we start?"

"Rught now so get into some cloths boy and we can start" aesma said i nodded then got confused then looked down to see i was completely naked i blushed in embarrassment and hid my crotch.

"Well your women know a real man atleast instead of those pansys down there" julia said her eyes drifting down.

"Hey eyes up here!" I said she giggled and pretend that she didnt do anything. "Alright so were can i get some cloths?" I asked aesma summond some cloths and tossed them to me. "Thanks I'll be back" i said then went into another room for some privacy.

"Are you sure you want to train hik what if you kill him?" Faust asked julia and she simply sighed and looked at her old friend.

"Do not worry old friend we will make sure he does not die i promise and you know gods can never break a promise" julia said and faust nodded.

"Yes i know but...im just worried he's all zelda has since...link died" she said making julia frown and aesma scowel. "But you have to admit he looks just like him even has his personality as well" she said making a small smile go on julias face.

"Alright how do you look" i said as i walked back out with my new Clothes i had a sleeves black jacket some belts wrapped around my arms i had tape wrapped on my wrists and i had black pants and boots.

"....Give me five minutes" julia said.

"No now lets get to work shall we" aesma said going to an open door i walked ober with him and had julia, faust and mom in tow. "Lets start" he said then opened the door to reveal a pure white room he walked in and i followed. "This place is called the hyper bolic time chamber this is were we will train you for a year"he said.

"Whoa a year but i have a family to get back too i cant take a year" i said.

"Donovan time runs differently in here for example it takes a full day ojtside the room while its been one year in here" zelda said.

"Whoa your serious so i can train here for a year then come out and barely a day has passed?" I askex the nodded. "Thats fuckin cool well c'mon im super pumped for this" i said aesma tossed me a sword and readied himself.

"First lesson sword fightin and channeling magic into it" he said his voice normal. "Alright look at my blade and tell me what you see" he said then closed his eyes and held his giant sickle out. We waited for a few minutes then thr bkade started to morph and change shape then it turned into a black short sword and it was glowing red.

"Whoa" i said as he opened his eyes.

"This is what my sword can turn into its called a zanpakuto" he said i looked at my sword and tried doing the same. "Sorry boy but you cant do it with any blade you have your own blade and its back at that old castle so lets soar with m-"

"Hikari" i said my eyes turned golden as the blade transformed into a different weapon the others looked on in awe as it finished it left a spear with some strong magic on the edges. "Light spear" i said once more then turned to aesma who was giving me a smug look.

"I stand corrected this will be intresting" he said i readied my self and he chraged then took a swing i deflected it with the blunt end and wacked him with the side making him jump back, he once again charged at me and we started exchanging blows. Our weapons move fast to were you only saw sparks and peices of wood flying off.

"Wow i dont think I've seen anyone other than me match aesma soeed and strength...what mysteries are you hiding beneath donovan rin" julia said to herself as she watched the show. Finally after about an hour of us going at it we hit a power struggle my spear was almost turned to nothing while his blade was still fine.

"This is fun and i rarely say that but it seems we have alot to work on boy so get ready to be put through hell"aesma said i chuckled. He pulled out his other weapon and it turned i to a pure white broad saord he tried going for my side but i twisted my spear and took out a blade from it and stoped him from stabing me.

"I guess i do have alot to work on old man and I've been to hell once I'll happily go back again" i said smiling he smiled as well and we released our power struggle my spear shattered and he sheathed both swords. "I wonder what the master sword looks like when i change it" i said.

"Oh your friends saw it but soon you will know" aesma said as he walked over to julia. "Alright im gonna take a break the kid has more stamina than me and try not to bore him" he said as he waked to a chair in the room and sat down.

"So aesma whats your take on donova?" Faust asked.

"Well...he's a bit sloppy but i can fix that julia knows more knowledgeable stuff better than sword fighting so he will learn quiet alot...so may take on him afterwards" he said as he laughed. "I wont be able to stop him or take my power back it will become his and hs will be pretty powerful" he said suprising faust. She looked over to me and julia who was lecturing me about history from both worlds and i was bored but she hit me everytime i didnt pay attention.

"I see then will he have enough power?" She asked still looking over at me.

"Yes he will and enough to get his real mother out as well even make her a body" he said faust smiled.

"Well i'll leave him in your care and aesma" she said just before exiting the room. "Dont kill him" she and walked out then closed the door. She leaned on it and started thinking of what would happen when she is brought back to equis along with zelda will her daughters welcom her again or hater her for leaving them, she was scared and didnt know how to handle the situation when it comes. "Im such a mess..." she said as she started walking to the main area and sat down near the fire that was in there. "Will you hate me my children or love me" she asked the fire as she stared intently at it.

(One day later)

Faust was walking around her library looking for a book when suddenly she heared footsteps behind her she turned at saw aesma and julia both with torn clothing, cuts and bruises.

"Ah your done how did it go?" She asked.

"Why dont you see for yourself" aesma said as faust heared more footsteps then i emerged from the shadows my body more muscular, my muscle very noticable, my hair was still blue but had gold highlights scattered around it, i had little to no shirt on him my pants torn and my books worn out also my metal arm was bigger as well to match my other and had guantlets on my arms.

"Hey faust...man im fucking tired" i said leaning on the wall my voice a but deeper. "Aesma wasnt leing when he said he'll put me through hell" i said again and went to a nearby seat.

"We are not yet done donovan that was part one of our plan now were on stage two but i can tell something is troubling you care to tell us what?" Julia asked.

"Well...i wanna see my marefriends and daughter to see if there alright i know its been a day here but i miss them" i said i then saw faust with an uneasy look. "Uh you ok faust?" I asked her.

"Um during half of your training i might have set it to normal time and its been five months" she said.

"Mind telling me next time faust" i said she chuckled and rubbed the back of her head. "So is there a way i can see them?" I asked again she nodded and handed me a crystal.

"Jus lt hold and think of the place you wanna see" she said i nodded and closed my eyes. I started thinking about home, my marefriends and daughter, my friends everyon. I then heared a sigh making my eyes open i was in my room and i saw scoots sitting on the bed frowning noreena walked in and sat next to her.

"Its ok mom i know he will come back so please dont be sad" she said hugging scoots then nuzzling her. Scoots smiled and hugged her back.

"Thanks noreena i needed that and your right he will come back...he always does" she said as she stared up at the blood moon. It pains me to see them sad but i couldnt do anything all i could do was watch, when i felt ready i started thinking about the wonderbolts Academy i heared footsteps and i saw spitfire sitting in her chair writting on some paper she seemed un-happy she put down the pen and looked outside to see the blood moon.

"*sigh* He'll come back i know it" she said still looking at the moon. I smiled at this knowing people are waiting for me to come back. I thought about twilights castle and i was teleported there, i saw the girls talking and messing around and spike being flirty with rarity i walked over to him and gave a ghost slap in the face somehow he felt it and looked around to see nothing.

"Spike you ok?" Rarity asked him.

"Yeah but it felt like somepony slaped me" he said rubbing his cheek.

"Oh someone did it was donovan " pinkie said looking right at me i smiled and waved she waved back.

"Pinkie donovans on the moon how are you able to see him?" Twilight asked.

"I dont knkw but man does he look like a hunk" pinkie said i chuckled at this then mouthed out thank you. "Your welcome".

"Ok pinkie of he's really here tell him to do something" dash said.

"Oh you mean hiw theres a sticky note saying 'shes telling the truth' on your chest" pinkie said as everyone looked and saw a sticky note saying 'shes telling the truth' on her chest.

"Holy shit pinkie ask him when hes coming back" dash said, pinkie looked to were i was but i was gone.

"He left" she said this made everyone frown then a note popped out of thin air it read sorry gotta see the others.

I was teleported to the castle and i saw the royals and mom sitting on there thrones everyone was looking at the blood moon almost as if expecting me to come crashing in and saying im back bitches. But i didnt i simply just strolled right in and walked over to them they all had fake smiles as the guards passed but the batponys knew they were fake and they looked to the moon almost wanting to go up there with me. I shook my head and looked for moonlight i saw her peering in through a door passed the dokr was nightwatcher who was using the knifehs seemed to grow a bit and get a bit of muscle i smiled and used as much magic to push the door open making moonlight fall inside.

"Oh moonlight didnt see you there whats up" nightwatcher asked as he picked her up, moonlight blushed and looked away from him. "Oh hold on sorry just training" he said then thew on a shirt. I started walking away and let them talk, as i did i heared talking from over the edge i peered over and saw that girl whi adrian was talking about cloud wind...wind cloud i forgot but i know he likes her.

"Hey adrian you needed to talk with me?" She asked hik he nodded then pulled out a blue rose and handed it to her. "Whats this?" She asked.

"Its a moon rose it took me awhile to find it but i got it for you wind cloud" he said wind blushed a little and smiled.

"Thank you adrian thats very sweet of you" she said and he smiled. "Hey um I've been meaning ti say this fir awhile but I've always sorta...liked you" she said i smiled widely and fist pumped the air.

"Really" adrian said suprised but also blushing wind nodded and leaned over to him and pecked him on thw cheek.

"I was wondering after school do you wanna go to the park?" She asked him but i think he was lost in his own little world. "Adrian?" She said getting him out of his day dream.

"Huh oh uh yeah im mean whatever" he said playing it cool i chuckled seeing this wind kissed him again and walked off. "Yes thank you gods oh i cant wait to tell donovan...donovan" he said losing his smile he looked to the moon and he gave a heavy sigh. "Why did you do it man there was other ways instead you chise to guve yourself up and got sent to the damn moon" he said growling but soon calmed down. :just come back man we all miss you hell scootaloo keeps coming over to see if the princesses and mom are working on a way to bring you back no luck so far...just come dude we miss you" he said then walked off i closed my eyes and smiled. I was then teleported back to faust and them.

"So is everything alright?" Faust asked me i nodded and gave her the crystal back.

"They all miss me very much all of them are staring at the blood moon waiting for me to come crashing doan and yell out im back bitches hehe...is there for me to get home?" I asked.

"Yes there is but you must complete the second stage in order for you to go back understand" julia said i nodded. "Good now its time for you to rest so go"

"Aye now i have walls and to let you know you moan really loud i mean louder than my fucking music and i out that shit at deafing levels" i said she rolled her eyes.

"What ever that just means aesma is doing a good job now bed" she commanded i rolled my eyes and took the rest of the torn cloths off and went to bed. "I dont moan that loud do i?" She asked aesma he nodded. As i laid in my bed i started thinking about everyone how i just left them and damn i did it in the most ediotic way as well some friend and boyfriend i am.

"Ah young prince you did what was right" rodan said appearing next to me my ithers selves appeared as well they all had regular cloths on instead of there armor. "You sacrificed your self to save your friends and i know when you go back they be there with open arms" he said i sat up in bed and looked at them all.

"My friend we all made sacrifices and my last one was saving my friend life but i had to give up my own what im saying is that if they truly are your family they will wait" micheal said i nodded. "Got anything else to say my friend?" He asked peter.

"No not really but im wondering if were just four of your past lives...whats your entire blood line" he asked i shrugged. "I will look into it for now get some rest your gonna need it if you wanna get back to your home" he said i nodded and one by one they all returned into my head all except isaac he was looking at the door.

"Go on" i said he turned to me.

"What?" He asked.

"Go see faust i know she misses you so go and say hi" i said he looked at the door and gave a deep sigh then walked over to it.

"Wish me luck" he said then exited the room, i started closing my eyes and waited for sleep to take me when i heared a squeal and someone being to hugged to death.

"I missed you so much!" Faust cried out i smiled and went to sleep.

(Dream realm)

I heared soft music playing making me open my eyes i looked around and saw baby me giggling and reaching out for something. I walked over to him and looked at him he had a chubby face and a small smile.

"Hows my little boy" i heared mom asked befire walking through me and picked baby me up he giggled and hugged her. "Some ones very sweet today wpuld you like to go see you father?" She asked me but i was playing with her hair to notice she giggled and took baby me out of the room, i looked around the room a but more and saw something glow in the draws i walked over to it and opened the draw but all i saw was a gold ball with markings on it i dont know what it was so i just left it there and looked out the window. The town bekow was beautiful and full of life i smiled at this and decided to go see baby me and mom. As i walked down the halls i saw guards talking to some strange people they look like they made of rocks due to how there backs are rock, the guards pointed somewhere and the rock people thanked them i got curious and followed them and they lead me to the throne room were i saw mom playing with me along with dad.

"Sorry to gor intrusion Majesty but we wanted to tell you two first since link is an old friend" one of the rock guys said his voice very rough.

"Well what did you to tell us darunia" link asked the man the took something out of his little sling i just saw and hrld out a smaller version of them. "My friend you have child congratulations" link said happy that his friend has a child.

"Thank you i was hoping our sons can be friends just like how me and you are" darunia said.

"Of course i see no problem with donovan playing with your son whats his name?" Link asked.

"Well he's named after me" darunia said.

"Well they can play for awhile we talk about business" zelda said they nodded and let the two children play they just crawled after eachotherike if they were playing a game of tag. I felt kinda happy my baby self and darunia jr were getting along pretty well but i felt as though something was watching me i turned and saw a purple cloud i thought it was nightmare and summond a sword but the thing just did something to the dream making the room into shattered rubble and bodys everywere i saw my dads body on the floor there was no sign of baby me and darunia jr or his parents the room went ablaze and i saw the thing tear a hole in the dream and left. I got scared cause the fire looked at felt real i tried to run but everywere i went fire just appeared until i was fully ingulfed in it.

(Real world)

"Boy...boy wake up!" I heared aesma say before slapping me hard i jolted up and looked around.

"What happened?" I asked.

"You were having a nightmare what were you dreaming?" Julia asked me.

"I dont know i guess it was a memory of me, zelda and link talking to two rock people" i said. "Then some thing made up of stars was there and i thought it was nightmare and took a sword out then the thing did something to make it a nightmare and then tore a hole in the dream and left leaving me to burn in the dream" i said faust face seemed to go pale. "Something the matter faust?" I asked her.

"Well i could be wrong but i think thats a Tantabus but the only ones who can make one is moon and...oh goxs" she said as her pupils shunk.

"What is it fasut who else can make a tantabus...wait you dont mean" i said she nodded. "Awe shit why would luna make that monster she's suppose to make dreams nicer not into a nightmare.

"Well boy its because she can forget me" i heared nightmare say.

"What did you do nightmare" i demand he sighed.

"Look its not something i did its becasue of something she cant let go which is me her other self i kniw your gonna say bullshit but its true when me and luna were separated i was never truly gone
Just lock away in her i felt her emotions get the better of her and to tell you the truth i started feeling sorry for her" he said suprising me. "But its becasue of me that she cant forgive her self she unleashed me when she was jealous of celestia and i know you will not Belive me hell i dont myself but im sorry for that" he said.

"Your sorry...what are you the same jightmare that tried taking over my body?" I asked him.

"yes i just had time to think in the hyperbolic time chamber and i guess changed a bit but theres time for that later we must save luna and your friends" nightmare said well i still kinda hated him for trying to kill my friends and taking over my body but he was right we have to save the others.

"Aye your right we'll call a truce for now so lets get to work, faust hand me that crystal so i can see if it effected the others" i said she nodded and handed me the crystal i concentrated and was teleported to were the girls were. I saw them in the castle with there colt friends barely able to stay awake.

"Man im tired" dash said yawning.

"Oh c'mon im full of energy" pinkie said i looked and saw she was just exhausted she then fell asleep standing up peirce grabbed her and set her on her throne. I heared a bark come from the entrance and i saw rise with noreena on his back sleeping scoots was walking next ti her with vinyl who also didnt look so good.

"Let me guess have trouble sleeping?" Twilight said scoots gave her a 'really' look and pointed to noreena and vinyl. "I'll take that as a yes so what was your dream mine was some weird thing that looked like it was made up of stars" twilight said.

"Your too i thiught i was the only one" aj said pinching herself to keep her awake.

"Same" dash said.

"So i guess its not just a coincidence then somethings up" blaze said appearing from the window.

"Take the door next time blaze"twilight said he nodded as he jumped down then something fell on him and i saw ab.

"Ow bloom your kinda crushing my back" blaze said and ab got off of him. "So you guys were havingthat dream with that monster thing" he asked thry nodded. "Hmm i wonder what it could be...lets ask luna and moon" he said and nodded. "Spike send a letter to luna" blaze said he nodded and wrote down the message on some paperand breathed fire on making it disappear. Then seconds later luna and moon appeared with horrifed looks.

"Are you sure it looked like a being made of stars?" Luna asked they nodded. "Oh no this is bad very bad what you just saw was a Tantabus i made it for me and me alone but it seems it wants to torture everyone else we must stop it cause if it has enough power from the fear its spreading it will escape into the real world" luna said. I decided to leave and go back to my body, i sat up and gave faust the crystal back.

"What happened?" She asked me as i got out if bed ignoring the fact that i was naked i went to the clest got some cloths and tossed them on.

"I have to stop that tantabus you with me nightmare" i asked him.

"Lets get one thing straight boy im doing this for luna so yeah lets kick the bastards ass" he said.

"You could have just said 'alright' but fuck it aesma, julia i need your help" i said they nodded.

"Follow us we will begin your second stage hurry we only have a day to give you the basics" julia said i nodded and we all went to a room full of darkness not even a speck of life. "Ok the first step is control you know how you turned into your demon form facing nightmare right?" She asked.

"Yeah i remember scared everyone but i dont think i can bring it out" i said.

"If you want to save your friends you will have to because in that form you can enter and leave any dreams same for your god form but we will teach you that once your done for now i want you to concentrate" aesma said. "Go into a meditative stance and think evil thoughts" he said i was hesitant at first but thought im doing this for my family so i have to. I got into a meditative stance and tuned out everyone and started thinking of dark stuff, i didnt want to describe what i was thinking because it was so...horrific. i felt my blood run cool and my heart stop, 'whats going on? Am i dieing?', i then heared footsteps making me open my eyes i saw i dont even know what it was its skin was pale and its hair long reaching to its knees it wore something around its waist its hand like claws along with its feet. Its face had sharp teeth and narrow eyes that glowed red, he also had black lines going down and across its chest and his horns were shaped unnaturally and looked as sharp as swords.

"So your the one that i posses hmm" the thing said his voice a distorted version of mine.

"It seems so but my question is...what are you?" I asked he laughed.

"Im you ediot what else and no not like that loser blaze he doesnt even come close to my power, im your more darker side" he said then laughed some more.

"Hey i dont appreciate you talking down to my brother like that" i said.

"Awe did i make you mad hahahaha well who cares not like you can do anything about it im stronger than you hell the last guy died the second i landed a punch on him" he said stretching.

"Other guy there were others before me?" I asked him.

"A good 10,000 boys and girls but they all ended up the same since they couldnt handle my power" he said then looked me in the eyes kinda freaking me out.

"What happened to them?" I regrettably asked.

"I rip them limb from limb" he said in a serious tone i dont I've ever been this scared.

"Wow thats cold blooded...so what makes me any different then the others?" I asked he simply shrugged.

"Hell if i know those two bastards make me do the same thing over and over again for the past well 10,000 years it gets boring but i love killing" he said sharping his claws. "So are you here to try and use my power?" he asked me.

"Yeah lets see if i can win" i said he didnt respond he only summond two swords and tossed one to me. "So whats your real name cause i dont like it when other people use my name" i asked him he shrugged then took off his mask.

"I dont know forgot it after year 3,000 but i guess you can call me hollow" hollow said then tossed the mask away making it turn into dust his face also pale but had a normal mouth his eyes were blood red and had slited pupils.

"Hollow huh seems fitting so shall we start" i said changing the blade into a white katana.

"Kill 10,001 ready or not here i come" he said also changing his blade but into black katana and charged at me and i charged at him.

(Outside donovans body) faust

As half of donovans body changed into half of that demon it moved back and forth almost like if they were fightin inside his body.

"They seem to be talking for now i never seen him this calm before" aesma said pouring his demon magic in him to help donovan aesmas arm was in its demon form and attached to donovan.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Well that demon is one that never really talks he just loves to kill and we had many people control him but they all failed and they all died by his hand" julia said shocking me.

"Stop this we have to" i said but they shook there heads.

"Cant once its started it cannot be stoped we can only hope for the best"aesma said turning to us then jumoed a bit and had a look of pain on him. "Holy shit...argh those two are really going at it" he said then screamed in pain.

"Aesma whats wrong?" Julia asked worried abiut her lover.

"There-by the gods arghh!" He screamed once more before he was sent back a few feet unconscious.

"Aesma!" Called out then ran over to him, i looked back at donovan who was turning into that moster his hair grew and horns sprouted out of his head. He then opened his eyes as the transformstion was still in affect his left eyes black all except his iris that was blood red and his teeth sharp. He then got to his feet and Roared the most unholy roar i have ever heared. He then ran at me and took a swing with his claws.

"Donovan what are you doing?!" I asked as i dodged anither swing he only roared at me and tried killing me. "Julia whats happing?!" I asked her.

"I dont know this has never happened before i think the demon is winning" julia said healing aesma. Donovan laughed eached time he tried landing a hit on me then roared.

"C'mon donovan win"

(Inside donovans head) pov donovan

As the song played i Prairie and dodged sword slashes but some landed on me cutting deep. I went for a stab attack only for it to miss and get nearly stabbed in the face by hollow, he then kicked me in the chest making me lose my breath he then spun kicked me in the face sending me back but i got my bearing together and dug the sword in the ground making me stop and i charged again.

"Give up donovan you cant win " hollow said jerking to the side then snet a hard punch to my gut. "Your not strong enough to beat me and you never will be so just give up" he said i sent a slash at him but he deflected it and sent one down my chest, blood spilled out nad i stumbled back.

"Damn"i said leaning on my sword to stay upright i didnt even make a scratch on him he stood there with a blank expression. "Give up...i dont know how to be honest" i said looking and smiling then i charged at him sword raised and swung down. He raised a claw and stoped it with little to no effort, as we stared eachother in the eyes me glaring while he was giving a blank look. He then moved the sword away and jabbed his into my gut i coughed up blood and droped my sword.

"I told you, you cant beat me not now not ever" he said then took the sword out making blood come out more he then turned away from me and started walking away.

"No" i said making him stop, i got to my feet but stumbled in place. "I will not lose i have people to protect a family to protect i cant lose" i said picking up the sword and raising it.

"In all my years of fighting your the first to survive this long...i give your credit you have guts " he said turning to me. "Lets end this" he said and charged at me i did the same and my magic ready as well. We both chraged our magic and out it in our blades.

"Do you want to live?" A voice asked me

"Yes...i want to live" i said.

"TENSHOU!" I yelled and slashed the air making a large line cut right through the air and to hollow.

"Damn it!" he yelled and went to block it woth his blade but it fail and the power engulfed him then an explosion and everything went dark.

(Outside donovans body) faust

His body fell to the ground and the demon form was vanishing i was panting heavily and was in pain due ti the cuts and bruises donovan made on me he even went against julia and was doing fine. I sat down and took this well needed break.

"You were not leing he will become more powerfull" i said julia sat next to me her cloths and mine torn a bit.

"Yeah but i didnt think he would be that powerfull...i wonder if donovan won?" She said looking at him. I hope he won cause who else will defeat ganon.

"Well all we can do is wait" i said julia nodded and we continued to look at donovan.

(Inside donovans head) pov hollow

I sat up and looked around then saw the boy i got to my feet and walked over to him.

"damn kid you almost killed me if i hadn't put on that mask hehehe well i guess you proved me wrong...you win" i said kneeling down and placing a hand on his back then gave him my power. "See you soon donovan rin" i said before sending him back to his world.

"So...he's the one huh" a man said coming next to me he wore black cloak and had black flowing hair.

"Yes he is gestuga...tell me why him?" I asked using my real voice.

"He has powers of a god he is perfect i leave him in your hands along with him" gestuga said i nodded he then vanished.

"Hope your right about him" i said before vanishing.

( Real World) pov donovan

I slowly opened my eyes and pushed myself up, i had a massive headach and my muscles were sore but i got to my feet and shook my head.

"Jesus fuckin christ that hurt so bad" i said raising a hand to my head.

"Well atleast your awake" i heared faust say walking next to me she looked like shit and had cuts on her.

"The hell happened you look like shit" i said she flicked me in the head.

"Thats no way to talk to a lady honestly what does scootaloo see in you" She said.

"Awesome badass that can take down chaos beings and is good in bed" i said she blushed at the last one. "Anyways what happened?" I asked.

"Well when youwere fighting that demon your body started moving on its own it even took on me and julia with out even a scratch on you" she said.

"Ah i see well im sorry for the pain i caused...so how long has it been?" I asked her.

"Well your were out for a few hours right now its night time in equis and did you defeat that demon?" She asked.

"You mean hollow well i gues so since im not dead and all" i said then felt my head hurt and half the mask appeared.

"This means nothing boy you just got lucky so shut up and dont waste my power got it!" hollow yelled at me before the mask shattered.

"Geez im gonna hate that guy alot but seeing as how i just did that i did win so now all thats left to do is beat that tantabus" i said faust nodded and we left the room. We saw julia putting bandages on aesma who was pouting about the whole thing when he saw me he glared at me.

"Well your alive thats good so what about that demon?" Julia asked.

"Oh he's here but i think he has to show me how to summon it" i said pointing to aesma who huffed. "Gess whats up your ass?" I asked

"How were you able to control him" aesma said low.

"What? I couldn't hear you?" I asked.

"I said how were you able to control that bastard when our own daughter couldnt!" He ylled at me leavijg me speechless.

"What" i said he groweld at me and stormed out of the room leaving julia and us alone. "What did he mean when you lost your daughter?" I asked julia who gave a heavy sigh and sat down.

"When we first found that demon our daughter artimes wanted to controll the demon...what a fool i was for thinking she would be able to handel it" julia said as tear ran down her face. "She was sixteen at the time and i thought she was old enough to handle it so i convinced aesma to let her and we did it two weeks later but...she...she" julia said then bursted into tears.

"Julia...im so sorry" i said.

"I was such a fool for thinking my only daughter can handle that beast she was rip from the inside, out and left as a pool of blood on the floor" she cried. "I understand why aesma was angry its because he thought she can handlw it as well she had our blood and power...that was 10,000 years ago and i still haven't forgotten it" she said faust went over and hugged her julia didnt hesitate to hug back and cry more.

"Hollow...did you really kill her?" I asked him.

"Regrettably...yes i was just a baby back then dint know my own strength and i was angry all the time and i took it out on there daughter...weird thing was i thought she was beautiful i regret killing her everyday but i had no control...let me have control for a bit" hollow asked.

"Ok" i said i felt hollows mask form on my face and my eyes slit.

"Julia" hollow called out to her making her look at me and she gave a death glare. "I am sorry...when you found me i was just a baby and didnt know anything other than kill...when i first saw your daughter i thought she was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen...i regret killing her and i live with that memory everyday and i can describe every detail...im so sorry from the bottom of my black heart i hope you can forgive me" he said julia just stared at me waiting for him to laugh or something but he didnt.

"Then why?" She asked. "Why did you kill all those others instead of donovan" she asked.

"Because he wished for him to have control those others i dont regret killing your daughter was the only i regret killing" he said.

"Who's he what are you hiding" julia asked getting infront of me.

"I hope you can forgive me" he said before the masked started vanishing leaving me facing her.

"Julia who was he talking about?" Faust asked julia she shrugged.

"Could be anyone so shall we go help your friends" julia asked me i nodded and sat in a chair. Faust gave me the crystal once more and i teleported to the girls. They were all in twilights room which was fuckin huge but ignoring that the girls were on the bed luna and moon were on eachside while the guys were passed out on the floor.

"Alright shall we get started?" Luna asked them they nodded and moons horn and sent a sleep spell on them making them pass out i turned into my demon form and touched twilights head making the world turn white.

(Dream realm)

I landed on my back and groaned in pain i sat up and noticed my body was made of stars like the tantabus i looked around and saw twilight sitting in a chair reading a book and drinking some tea. I walked over and saw something above her i tried calling out to her but i couldnt so i launched at the tantabus tackling it to the floor i then punched it in the face but it kicked me off and made me crash into the table twilight had her tea on.

"What in the name of celestia there are two of you" twilight backing up. I got up and raised my fist to the tanatbus and he did as well he ran at me and took a swing but i dodged and kneed him in the gut before uppercutting him in the face. I think it was growling at me so i gave one back he then looked at twilight and raised a hand before tearing a hole in the dream and jumping through it, i looked to twilight who was in cowering in the corner looking at me.

"Please...no dont come near me!" She yelled i raised my hands up trying to say im the good guy but then i heared a pop behind me and i was shit to the wall.

'Oh man i not being able to talk now i know how pinkie feels about not talking' i thought then i turned around to see luna and moon holding weapons at me. I sighed and slightly brought upmy hands before i had to duck two swords from entering my head.

"Do not move tantabus i shall destroy you for good" luna said then her horn glowed but nothing happened.

"Lulu nothing is happing?" Moon said shocking luna i then pushed the two pout of the way and ran to the hole and jumped through it. "Follow it" i heared moon said then jumped through the portal and leaving a confused twilight. As i jumped through i saw the tantabus going to some window with apples on the edges.

'Applejacks dream hope its nothin bad" i thought before putting my arms to my side making mw go faster then when he tantabus was close to it i tackled him thriugh the window and we fell out of the sky. We exchanged blows as we fell but then we landed on a cloud and he kicked me off of the cloud. As i fell i crashed right through ajs house and i saw her eating pie and drinking some cider. I got up and spread my wings which looked cool i gave them a flap and launched back to the tantabus who was flying to. 'Well good to know this thing has wings' i thought before the tantabus tackled me back down to the house. I kicked him off and jumped to my feet then dodged kick and sent a punch to him landing right on his face and road house kicked him then tackled him making us crash right through the house while i was fighting the tantabus luna and moon came down and saw me and him going at it.

"Sister is that a tantabus fightin...a tantabus?" Moon asked luna. I was sent crashing through the wall but i got back up and ran at him again. But he then raised his hand and i saw the world change everything was run down and there was three graves saying here lies big mac, bloom and grannysmith. He then tore a hole and jumped through.

I heared applejack scream and started crying seeing the graves i got mad and i jumped through the portal.

(Real world) aj

"Ahhh...huh what" i said jolting up i saw twilight awake and shaking then i saw the guys also awake scared iut of there minds from who knows what.

"Aj what happened?" Caramel asked me.

"I was at the farm eating pie and drinking cider when the tantabus crashed through the ceiling and then another tantabus came and the two started fighting like...then the tantabus changed the dream were my whole family was dead and the farm was run down" i said then felt tears come out.

"Its alright its just a dream the only ones that are still asleep are pinkie pie, rarity, fluttershy and dash hope there having better luck" he said just then rairty shot up screaming bloody murder.

"Rarity calm down your ok its just a dream" spike said rarity was shaking and mumbling something lik 'tantabus' and 'two of them' then 'fighting. "Rarity calm down and tell us what you saw" spke said finally calming her down.

"That tantabus by celestia it was horried and they were two of them i was in my shop working on some clothing"

(Raritys dream) pov donovan

I crashed through raritys place and landed on my back the tantabus grabed me and tossed me to a shelf, i got on my feet then tackled him to the floor and started punching at him hard. He kicked me off and punched me a few times before doing a spin kick sending me back a few feet. I grabbed a table and threw it at him but he kicked it making it shatter but i was behind it and i slamed my foot on his head then gave him another uppercut. He flew back and crashed into the wall, he got up and raised his hand but before he could i grabbed it and broke it making him screech then tear a hole in the dream and left i went after him all the while leaving a scared and confused rarity.

(Real world)

"And thats what happened" rarity finished her story and the everyones mouths were hanging open. "It was like they hate eachother and when that other tantabus broke the tantabus hand he left without doing anything else" she said.

"Then why did you wake up screaming i get that you saw a fight but i mean c'mon its not like your used to it" spike said.

"Oh i kniw but they tore all my cloths up and left a massive hole in my house" rarity whined and spike rolled his eyes. "But anyways it seems like its going for us first then might go bigger" she said then looked at fluttershy and dash.

(Dream realm)

As i chased the tantabus i had luna and moon on my ass trying to kill me but i ignored them and continued onward. I chased the bastard into a window with clouds and a rainbow lightingbolt i jumped in there and i heared fighting. I saw i was in the old castle were i first turned into my demon form then i saw dash backing away from demon me who was covered in blood i saw the bodys of everyone on the floor cut and stabbed.

"Please dont hurt me" dash begged demon me but it laughed at her mouth wide open but i tackled it to the floor and started beating it to death. I got up and walked away from demon me and over to dash who was cowering i kneeled down and offered a hand, she hesitantly grabbed it and i helped her up. "Um...thanks" she said i nodded i was then tackled to the floor and started getting punched by the tantabus i drove my claw into him and kicked him off he screeched at me and i roared at it. He tore a hole and left i was about to enter it but then looked back at dash then wrote something in the dream. "'If your scared of me im sorry but dont worry i have controll of that me for now i have and idea and i want you to tell mom about it' " she read i then gave her the info i wanted her to say then flicked her in the head making her wake up then ijumled into the hole. I saw some ballons and got an idea of who it was next i entered and saw pinkie fighting off some cake monsters i grabbed a table and threw it at them making them explode into frosting.

"Thanks donovan" she said i nodded and saw the tantabus go through a hole i followe after it not before waking pinkie up.

"Im getting real sick of chasing you" luna said grabbing my arm. "Now who are cause i know for a fact that i didnt creat you" she asked, i did hand gestures but that didnt work. "Why cant you talk?" She asked once more i just groaned well groweld and jerked my arm away and resumed my chase with the tanta bus.

"Sister what if he's just trying to help and your keeping him from doing so" moon asked her.

"No i know that thing will destroy ponys dreams so we must stop both of them now lets go all thats left is fluttershy" luan said before jumping into the hole. I ran after the bastard and i was getting real sick of chasing it but i couldnt do nothing. As he jumped through a window that had pinkie butterflies around it i jumped in after him and saw i was at fluttershys place.

I got to my feet and walked around a bit trying to find the tantabus but i heared huming so i followed it and saw fluttershy sitting with angel petting him softly.

"Yo fluttershy minds looking after epona for me?" Dream me said before giving epona to her.

"Oh yes i would love to" she said i thanked her and walked away. I saw the tantabus creeping its way to fluttershy and poked angle making him jump off her lap sratched behind his ear. "Angel whats wrong?" She asked him but he kept scratching until i saw blood come out fluttershy was trying to make him stop but he kept scratching soon he tore his ear off and some of his skin making fluttershy scream eventually angel riped his face of and died from that making fluttershy burst into tears and try rewching for the dead angel. I saw the tantabus smile evily and grow a bit then had claws appear and his horn grow he gave an evil laugh as he watched this.

I roared at the bastard making him snap his head to me.

'Now i may be heartless but thats just cold even for me...kill him" nightmare said i ran at the asshole and took a swing but he dodged and hit me in the face sending me back a few feet i got up and rushed him again determined to kill him cause one thing i picked up from the girls is never make fluttershy cry ever. I grabbed his arm anddug my claw in him making him howel in pain he dug his claws into my side making me roar in pain i kicked him off and held my wound but he just regenerated his wound and left the dream.

"Oh my goodness are you alright?" Fluttershy asked me kneeling down, i gave her a thumbs up and got to my feet. "You know you remind me of...donovan" she said i nodded. "Donovan is that you?" She asked me i nodded, she then latched onto me and cried more. "We were all so worried about you...scootaloo and vinyl didnt know what to do with out you and just stayed in your house we all miss you so please...come back" she asked me then looked at me with watery eyes. I nodded and took her off of me then walked to the hole but i was then hit int the shoulder with a magic blast causing me to shreek in pain and i held my shoulder.

"Thats as far as you go tantabus now i shall destroy you here and now" luna said and started walking to me but fluttershy steped in.

"No stop thats donovan" she said shocking luna i took this chance and jumped through the hole.

"Fluttershy damn it i was about to kill that thing" she said.

"Then you would have killed donovan" Fluttershy said. "That tantabus you saw was donovan i dint know but it is and he's fighting the real tantabus right now" she said.

"Wait then that means I've been hurting my own son" luna said then feel to her knees. "What have i done...damn it why did i make that monster" she said.

"Luna its alright im sure donovan will forgive you for now we must exit the dream realm and figure out what to do next" moon said luna nodded and made everyone wake up.

(Real world)

I was forced out of the dream realm by luna and sent to a wall making the books fall down.

"Donovan are you alright?" Pinkie asked me i nodded and got up. "Well thank you for helping us with the dreams but we dont know were the tantabus is do you?" She asked me and i started thinking but shook my head. "Hmm i wish there was a way to combined all the dreams together so all of us could dfeat the tantabus" pinkie said then that gave me a great idea then snapped my fingers making a note pop up. Pinkie grabbed it and smiled. "I'll tell her right away" she said then walked over to luna who was calming the group down.

"Luna that tantabus guy gave me and idea to kill it but he only gave me so much so i cant tell you the rest" dash said.

"Uh guys donovan gave me this and said give it to luna" pinkie said giving the note to luna she read it and her eyes widened.

"He want to do what?!" She said then gave the note to moon whk said the same thing.

"He wants to have one big dream so the tantabus wont go anywere" pinkie said and looked over to me i gave a thums up.

"Thats not a bad idea" twilight said. "If the tantabus can enter dreams then it will be forced into the one big dream and we can defeat it there" she said.

"Yes...yes that could work alright this will be quiet intresting since this is the first time I've ever done this but lets guve it a shot" she said then charged her magic along with moon. I placed my hand on her head and the world went white once more.

(Dream realm)

I was back in my demon tantabus form and i saw a shit tone of ponys along with griffins, diamond dogs,dragons,zebras, and the royals along with blaze and adrian. Luna flew up infront of the marge crowed and cmeared her throat.

"CITIZENS OF EQUIS I ASK OF YOU A FAVOR I NEED YOUR HELP DEING WITH A BEING CALLED THE TANATBUS HE WILL SOON BE HERE AND I NEED YOU ALL TO DESTROY IT BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY FEAR AGAINST THE BEAST IT WILL USE IT AND ESCAPE INTO REALITY" luna said in the royal canterlot voice there was then a giant tear and walked in the tantabus bigger than i thought...he as big as tirek. "PLEASE DO NKT BE AFRAID THIS IS THE DREAM REALM YOU CAN DO ANYTHING!" She said everyone thenlooked at eachother then one by one they all turned into what they wanted too. I saw the guys turn into there assassin outfits and charged at the tantabus the girls turned into some super heros and blaze turned as tall as the tantabus.

'Hell if there doing it might as we join the fun' i thought, then i did what blaze did and i grew to the size kf the tantabus. The bastard knew he was outnumbered so he summond smaller versions of himself to make and army and charged at the others who charged at them. I ran at the tantabus crushing smaller ones and gave a hard right hook to its jaw and blaze came with a left hook knocking him to the ground but he grabbed blaze and tossed him away hard and he crashed into some buildings. I then felt a punch to the chest knocking the wind out of me and sent another to my face i shook it off and threw one of my own landing we sent punchs back and forth for a good while until he kicked me away from him i slid and felt myself getting smaller but the tantabus was getting bigger. I saw everyone fighting and ditzy ran past me as a small horse, i decided not to question it and looked around ponies and the other races were fighting against them i sawthe guys changed into human versions of them selfs to match me and took down at least quite a few of them, the royals had there weapons and was cutting them down, vinyl had a dubstep canon and blasted them away , scoots was using two automatic pistols and cutting them all down i saw noreena with her friends using mInmy anything as a weapon hell noreena used crash as a bat making me laugh. The only person i didnt see fighting was luna who looked like she was blaming herself for all this.

"What have i done why did i make that thing this is all my fault if only i never made it" she said i saw the tanatbus grow more and started tearing a hole into the real world. I ran over to luna and shook her. "Donovan what are you doing here?" She asked me i couldn't say anything. "I cant quite understand you" she said.

"I...i...its...nkt your fault!" I yelled ripping my mouth open which hurt like a bitch. "Mom its nkt your fault looked around you these guys are helping you to get rid of that bastard over there and its not fear thats making him powerfull its you blaming yourself you gotta let go of the past i may not have known what you did but damn it they forgve you now its time to forgive yourself and if others cant forgive you just flip them off and say go fuck yourself cause there not worth your time" i said this seemed to make her give a small smile and nod she the walked past me snd flew over to the tantabus.

"Hello beast...it seems i dont need you anymore because i now know there are ponies who dont care what i did back then and that i should stop blaming myself...so I'll ask...will you please become apart of me again?" Luna asked making the fighting stop. The tantabus looked at luna to see any faults the turned into her size and held out his hand muna grabbed it and the tantabus turned into luna and becams one with her the small bastards vanished and the fighting finally came to an end.

"There nightmare, hollow i think we make a good team" i said walking away.

"Hey what did this dip-shit do i gave you my power he just told about the tantabus and how it was created" hollow said.

"Oh yeah like you did shit all you did was give him your form and sat back and your saying i didnt do shit" nightmare said.

"Alright easy you two easy were all friends here lets just calm down" i said.

"Friend oh far from it boy im not your friend and never will be"hollow said.

"Well theres something me and that bastard agree on" nightmare said.

"Shut up both of y'all now or so help me when i die im dragging both your asses to hell!" i yelled at them making them shut up. "Good now lets head back to faust and the others we still have training to do so lets go" i said.

"Rin!" I heared scoots say before tackling me and hugged me tightly. "I missed you so much" she said.

"I missed you too scoots alot in fact" i said getting up along with her. "But i have to go back to faust and them to train but once im done im heading straight back to you guys" i said.

"How long will that be?" She asked.

"I dont know but please...wait for me" i said cupping her cheek she grabbed my hand and nodded then kissed my cheek. "Goodbye...for now and tell noreena and vinyl i miss them" i said before leaving and entered mt body again.

"So how did it go?" Faust asked me.

"We defeated the tantabus anduna stoped blaming herself...everything is fine so hows aesma and julia?" I asked faust.

"Julia is fine after she calmed down but aesma is still a bit mad" she said and pointed to the pissed off aesma who was at a table crushing steel. I walked over to him and sat across.

"What do you want boy" he asked me.

"I know about Artemis aesma and hollow is sorry for that" i said he then threw the metal at me.

"You know nothing you don't know how much it hurt seeing my daughter die infront of me" he said.

"Yes i do cause i was witnessing my daughter die slowly but i saved her thanks to hollow and i vowed i will never want ti see that again ever" i said glaring at him he glared at me.

"That changes nothing"

"Yes it does i knkw its hard for you to forget but you gotta move on im sure artimes would want to see that instead of her father crying like and overgrown baby" i said he slamed his hands on the table and gave me a death glare.

"You dont know what she wants" he said i stood up to his level.

"Yes i do...so are you gonna sit there and cry about this or fix what you did wrongbso many years ago?" I asked him making him lose his glare. "Answer...now" i said but he had none and sat back down. "When your done thinking come see me and we can start stage two so i can see my daughter and marefriends again" i said going to my room. When i did i saw julia on my bed looking at me.

"My big words for a beginner god...it seems you got through to aesma even though it touched some sensitive wounds he will make sure you go back to your daughter" she said getting up. "We started training tomorrow morning so get some rest and once your done with this training you will go home" julia said waling past me.

"How long will it take?" I asked her.

"A few months maybe a year and half at most" she said.

"Alright I'll do anything to go back...anything" i said she giggled and left the room i went to my bed and sat on it. "Wait for me scoots...vinyl...noreena, im coming home don't you worry and this time stronger"
