Ruins of the castle of the two sisters, 2 months later P.O.V Lux

I sighed blissfully as I walked along the ruins of this old castle, I was wearing a pure white hoodie with crimson silk on the inside, a plain white shirt, black basketball shorts and Steels old sneakers. I was listing to my favorite song while hopping from broken pillars to broken pillar and scaling the walls of this castle. It felt great being free after being trapped in Steels head, now I can do whatever I wish without any consequences.

"LUX!" A familiar voice shouted to me as I stood at the top of the castle.

"Yeesh, barely the crack of dawn and she's on my ass already" I muttered to myself as I looked down to see Twilight who wearing Pajamas, her hair tied back and glasses pushed up her nose. "Heya Twily! Speak up, I cant hear you down their!" I shouted back.

The alicorn groaned and spread her wings then flew up to where I was. "Lux, what have I said about leaving the house?"

"Ah calm down Twily Im just stretching the old legs ya know, Im finally free to do whatever I wish so Im taking advantage of it" I said to the book worm.

"I know the feeling Lux but please, equestria doesn't know about you yet and we don't want them panicking since you used to be evil" Twilight explained to me and I groaned. "C'mon, lets head back to the library so we can eat"

"Fine" I said disappoint and lightly jumped off the ledge landing with a soft thud on the ground. Twlight landed next to me and had a small smile, I sighed before putting up my hood up and had Twilight teleport us back.

We landed safely in the treehouse and I slumped onto the couch. "It's not fair Twilight, nothing has changed since I've been free" I groaned.

"Well you have sone friends now, and your own body so I think that counts as change" Twilight said. "Well... theirs also the change of age for you as well" she added and I wanted to shoot myself.

After the whole mess with the Tree of harmony as we found out later from the royals, except Luna. Because I used discord chaotic magic and destroyed a part of myself, I was brought to the tender of 15. Which is bullshit, since I was also forced to be hidden from the world like cursed treasure.

What also happened was a small chest had appeared infront of th tree with six different keyholes. Both mine and Steels magic were sapped into it leaving us dead tired, but Twilight looked up what the chest was in the old books from the castle of the two sisters. It said it needed six keys that resemble apart of the bearers of harmony, leaving us with 3 so far since Pinkie, Rainbow and Applejack got theirs.

"Yeah yeah, but I still dont get why I went down a couple of years!" I said angrily. "Atleast I wont have to go to school, thank god"

"About that..." Twilight said and I glared at her. "It's not particularly school like, just teaching you the basics is all... from Celestia and the other royals" She said rather quick but I caught it all.

"So you're saying you want me to kill people" I said giving her a deadpan look.

"Nononono, Lux look... you're a child now so you have to understand that we have lawd that requires children to go to school and learn the basics of life" Twilight carefully explained to me.

"Bullshit! Im smarter than most of these ponies and Im sure my intelligence is just as good as yours" I said making the mare raise and eyebrow.

"Wanna bet?"

(An hour later)

"What the hell is this shit?!" I asked seeing some math equation that looked like hieroglyphics.

"Its the first question of the test that measures up to my level of intelligence" Twilight said smugly already done with every answer filled with her work shown. "Sorry Lux, Im just smarter than the anverage person" Twilight said smugly before I flicked my pen at here.

"Whatever..." I shot before leaning back into the couch. "Do I have to?"

"It would be against the laws of equis" Twilight answered and got up. "It'll be fine, not like your gonna be with people you dont know" she assured and I chuckled a bit.

"Yeah, thats true" I said sitting up. "So when do I go to these, 'special classes'?" I asked and a loud pop came from behind me and I felt a soft hand on my shoulder. I looked and saw alabaster white fur. "Seriously Twilight"

"Sorry, he's all yours Princess" Twilight said and snapped her fingers making a satchel appear and fall in my lap. "Have fun Lux, and dont sneak out of the castle remember what we talked about"

"I know, I know, what are you my Mom?" I sarcastically said.

"At this point I might as well be, anyways myself and the others will join you shortly
because we've been summoned, so we'll see you tonight" Twilight said and waved me off as Celestia teleported us to the castle. Once we had appeared, I landed on my ass due to me being in a sitting position.

"Thanks for the warning Celestia" I said getting up. "So how is this going to work?" I asked the mare and she summond a list.

"Well young man, were going over everything I can teach" Celestia said excitedly. "It's so good to have another student after Twilight left, I hope you will become just as smart as that mare" she said jokingly before motioning me to follow her.

"I dont know about that Celestia, as you recall Im still a bit evil and dont really take kindly to orders" I reminded her but she didnt seem to care.

"Well I have Steel and Brigid here in the castle, along with the other royals so im pretty sure with all of us combined we can handle you. Besides your a child now, so it'll just be your testosterone and hormones pumping through your head not evil intent" Celestia said making me chuckle. "*sigh* Teens"

We walked for a bit longer down the seemingly endless halls of the castle until we came to a door that looked like it was made from red wood and had golden latches and bolts on it. Celestia lightly pushed on the door and I was met with
thousands upon thousands of book, the amount of books here would make the ones at castle of the two sisters seem like nothing.

"Holy mother of God" I said in awe and the Alicorn mare giggled before clearing her throat getting my attention.

"Welcome to my study" Celestia announced and it echoed through the shelves of the archive.

"All of this is yours?!" I asked still in awe, this would be like heaven to Twilight if she were here. It was non-stop with that mare, teaching me equestrian history, other languages, even math and writting cause I didnt really have time to learn that since I was in a head for my whole life. "What Twilight would give to have this place"

"Yes, it was hard keeping it out of sight from her but I did it" Celestia said and used her magic to levitate a table, two chairs and a few books. "Now then, lets begin our lesson Lux" she said sitting down and I followed.

"Ok whats the first lesson math, reading, writting?" I listed and she handed the first book. "Magic training guide?" I said questioning why she gave me this.

"Im your magic teacher, we will be doing the basics of magic and as you get used to them we will continue to more advanced methods" Celestia explained as she got a copy herself. "Now then Im sure you already know how to use magic correct? Since you and Steel shared the same body for so long"

"Well... I dont really know how to use magic in this body" I admitted and the mare gave me a suprised look. "I know I have it, but I just cant seem to control it quite well ever since I became young again"

"Well thats why were here Lux, now then lets start with the basic levitation spell" Celestia said standing up and placed a book at the end of the table. "I want you to pick up that book with only your magic" She said.

I got up from my seat and reached out with a hand, I began concentrating to bring out the magic. But nothing was happening, I concentrated harder sweating a bit trying to get the book to even rise off the table, but nothing. I stopped and panted slightly whipping off some sweat from my head.

"I cant" I simply said.

"You can, you just have to focuse" Celestia encouraged. "Since you do not have a horn like an alicorn or a unicorn, you have to use your hands just like Brigid and Steel... find a spot on your hand and focus on it then spread it all over" Celestia said guiding me through it and I nodded.

I raised my hand again and closed my eyes to focuse properly. I picked the palm of my hand and began focusing on it, it was strange, a small warm feeling grew and just as Celestia said I started making it grow and spread it across my hand. It felt like warm water was washing over my fingers and palm.

"Good... now channel that source, to the book at the end of the table" Celestia gently said and I gave a small nod before taking a deep breath. I opened my eyes to see my hand covered in a calming blue aura, at the end of the table I focused my vision on the book and flexed my fingers gently. In a second the book was covered in the blue aura causing me to get excited, but I kept my concentration.

I reeled in the book with my magic until it hit the palm of my hand, I clenched it and the magic went away. I gave a small laugh as I smiled, feeling this weird sensation go through me.

"I did it!" I exclaimed. "I feel funny, like a good kind of funny" I said noticing I was unable to stop smiling at my small accomplishment.

"Well my guess is you're feeling joy" Celestia answered and I gave a small laugh again.

"What else do we have?" I asked actually not dreading this school thing anymore.

2 hours later, Dining Hall

"Man I've never seen a child so full of energy" Crystal whispered to the twins who nodded as they watched me tell the other royals, Brigid, Steel, the mane six, Spike, the guys, Gilda and Trixie how everything went.

"Then after the Twins taught me how to read ancient equestrian, Crystal taught me more of the history of equis which is surprising since I've never taken her for a history person" I said and before I could go on, Steel tossed a roll of bread in my mouth shutting me up.

"We get it Lux, it was fun" Steel said laughing as was everyone else. "You know its kind strange seeing a younger me, well sorta... kinda got your own looks their, Im sure you'll be racking in the ladies" he joked and Twilight along with Frost nudged him. "Im just kidding girls... or am I?

"I dont know Steel, no one other than all of you know that I exist" I said swallow the peice of bread in my mouth. "So getting a girlfriend would be kinda hard since no mare has seen me" I said.

"Ah you'll find someone Lux, your young, you got plenty of time to find yourself a girl" Coal said as Bluebelle leaned on him. "Took me awhile to find one as well"

"Dont ya worry, if I found one ya bet yer ass you will surely find a lass to have one day, thats a guarantee" Greenie said as he held up his drink. He was finally able to drink his liquor after the doctor checked his wounds from when he got blasted. Not gonna be able to grow his chest fur back though.

"Alright, alright... though I already have a mare in mind thank you very much" I said and started eating again. It was silent for a while making me wonder what was wrong, I looked up to see everyone looking at me. "What?"

"Who's the lucky girl?" Pinkie asked and everyone leaned in.

"Geez y'all act more like children than I do" I said."But yeah, I got a girl in mind, but Im not telling any of you"

"Ah knew he was lying" Aj said making me roll my eyes.

"Whatever, anyways I'm tired so Im gonna head to bed... speaking of, where am I going to sleep?" I asked celestia.

"Down this hall and last room on the right" She said and I thanked her before leaving. "You know... I wonder what kinda mare he's intrested in"

"Its beyond me darling, I keep thinking he was going to stay the way he was when he got himself free" Rarity said. "I mean if he was Steels age again with the way he looked when we first saw him then I would gladly-" Rarity stopped as Mint gave her a look. "*Ahem* show him to some of my other friends" She finished and gave a nervous laugh fanning off a small blush, everyone snickered.

"Well if he's another version of Steel then, someone like Twilight, Forst and Luna" Brigid said making the man laugh a bit.

"Im sure he's still figuring that out" Steel said and they all continued with dinner.

I walked down the halls of the castle, gazing out the windows seeing the stars light up the night sky. It was beautiful, I couldnt help but stop and just stare at the stars and the moon.

"So beautiful" I said sighing.

"Thank you" A voice said and I jumped back a couple of feet pulling out a butterfly knife I crafted in Jacks shop. It had a white handle with a diamond and obsidian blade curved and painted like the galaxy, took me forever to make it especially in secret.

"Who's there?" I called out with the blade at the ready. I looked around the dark hallway for a bit waiting to see if anybody was going to come out, but was met with silence and darkness. I clicked my tounge in annoyance, getting jumpy over my imagination. "Damn mind, guess Im just tired" I told myself as I flipped the blade closed, continuing my way to my room.

"Lux, find me" The voice beckoned, I stopped as I felt a chill go up my spin. I turned around to see a purple figure standing a few feet away from me, it was hard to see it since it was dark but I knew it was their. It raised a hand up then gently floated in the air, I felt something pulling me toward it like it was using its magic to grab and pull me.

The figure began leading me through the empty halls, cutting corner after corner, climbing stair after stair. I had no idea where it was leading me but I knew that whatever it was, was growing closer... and closer... and closer.

After an hour and a half of walking passed, I was left just a few feet away infront of an old door that looked way out of place in a castle like this. The figure turned to me and got close enough to touch me, and only then did I realize who it was that was guiding me.

"Nightmare- hmph" I began but was stopped as she kissed me for a moment, and in that moment I felt bliss. I didn't want it to end but it couldn't go on forever.

She parted from me and caressed my cheek, I think I felt a tear leaving my eye. "I'll be back one day, but the sad truth is I may never find a way to the real world... even if I tried every waking minute mainly because... Im fading away" she said and I was heart broken.

"No" was all I could say.

"Because Luna herself has changed, that means theirs little to no shred of me in her anymore... this is what is left of myself and I used it to see you once more" Nightmare told me, her body was beginning to fade away. I reached out to her but my hand went right through. "Lux... my time is up... when I leave this world, I loved when we were together and I hope to never forget it... but promise me something Lux" She said.

"Anything... anything!" I exclaimed trying to hold at least one more time, but my efforts were in vain.

"I want you to promise me... that you wont forget me when Im gone and find another" Nightmare asked and I was crying at this point. I was unable to get a word out. "Lux, it will break my heart if you don't promise me this"

"I promise, I wont, I love you Nightmare..." I said but she giggled a bit, the tears wouldn't stop and I fell to my knees. "We were meant to be..." I choked out, after a moment I realized she was still waiting for me to answer, I would do anything to make ger happy... this is a test of how far I would go just know that she would be happy. So I gave my answer. "I promise... but how will I find new love if all I could think of is you?" I asked.

"Its ok lux I understand how you feel, Ive done the same thing... thats why I have to do this, for both of us" Nightmare said before using her other hand and flicked me on my forehead. I felt dizzy, and before I knew it I fell to the ground blacking out. "You may not remember me anymore Lux, but I'll always be right next to you, so when you awaken... I hope you find the little peice of me that is left" she said and faded away leaving behind a silver bracelet with a black gem in the middle.

Midnight

"Ugh... what happened?" I asked waking up on the cold floor. I had no idea what was going nor do I know why I was laying infront of this weird old door. "Where am I and why are my cheeks wet?" I asked.

I rose to my feet after a couple of minutes and looked around, only to find a bracelet. I picked it up and looked it over, it was kinda amazing to look at if Im being honest. The silver metal matched beautifully with the black gemstone in the middle, it also gave off a familiar vibe that I couldn't put my finger on.

"Might as well, I dont think anyone would mind" I said and slid it on my right wrist. I looked it over once more and smiled a bit, it felt warm and comforting, it was strange to think a peice of metal would feel like this. "Hmmm, now what about this door?" I questioned. "I could go and tell Steel and the others about this... or... I could look inside myself, it's not technically leaving the castle so Twilight wont get on my ass for leaving" I said and with that in mind, I walked to the door and reached for the handle.

"I wouldnt do that if I were you"

"Holy fuck!" I screamed and turned around to see a tall black figure standing a few feet infront of me, I couldnt really see what he was wearing all except for a crimson red helmet that made it hard to even see his face, and a weapon that literally gave me chills. I think he noticed me shaking a bit after looking at the weapon.

"Dont like it?" The man asked his voice sounding metalic thanks to the helmet, he then reached back and pulled the Weapon off of his back. It was a twin blade weapon, both connected by a thick golden chain, the blades were thick and looked sharp enough to cut down multiple buildings all at one with a single swing. It had alien designs that didnt match this world, it looked like it was from earth somewhere in the medieval times since it had gold markings on it along with ancient drawings. It was amazing to stare at but also completely terrifying. "A nice weapon, but usless in my hands"

"T-Then why h-have it?" I asked him and chuckled.

"Its not mine kid... it's yours, made by all the essence of your own being" He said piercing it into the ground and left it embedded into the ground. "Come find me once you get the chance, Im sure the others will be thrilled to see you... Lux Tenebris, I do recommend going in alone if you want a better chance" the man said pulling a black hood over his helmet and began walking past me then opened the door.

"Wait! How do you-" I stopped once I turned around and saw that the man was gone. The door was wide open, giving me the view inside and to say it gave off a creepy vibe was an understatement. It was a cave leading inside the mountain holding up the castle, I became more curious than creeped out but I became more cautious at the same time. "Maybe I should tell Twilight" I said and almost instantly spat out that idea. "Im no kid running to his mommy just because of a stupid cave" I said and looked back to the blades in the ground.

"I have no other weapon except for my knife... and whatever might be in their could be dangerous, so maybe I should take the blades" I said and began walking to it until I was right infront of it. It still terrified me a bit, but if that guy was telling the truth then it should be apart of me, with that in my mind I began to reach for it... until I heared a pop.

"Lux, dont touch that!" Steel yelled and pulled me away from it.

"What, why!?" I asked but was answered by him teleporting us to one of the libraries were everyone was talking or reading. I shoved Steel off of me causing him to hit the table a bit getting the others attentions. "The hell is wrong with you?!"

"You were about to touch a weapon that literally made our skins crawl" He said and fixed himself. "I was protecting you, that thing you saw in the ground could be dangerous"

"Could be dangerous, if ya haven't noticed dumbass, I AM DANGEROUS!" I yelled at Steel causing the others to flinch. "And whats up with that cave leading into the mountains?" I asked Celestia.

"Dont change the subject Lux" Steel said.

"Or what, gonna ground me?" I shot back making him go silent. "Thats what I thought, Im not a little kid" I reminded him and moved him out of the way.

"Lux, calm down" Crystal asked and I growled at her.

"Lux, suns getting real low buddy" Coal jumped in but I just glared at him shutting him up.

".... did you just quote an avengers movie?" I asked giving him a dumbfounded look.

"Whats avengers?"

"Oh you motherfu-" I stopped when Twilight stood next to me gaving me a glare. I groaned and took a deep breathe before sighing, calming my anger down. "Whatever, never do that again capisce?" I said to Steel.

"Fine, but I dont want to touching those blades" Steel told me and I rolled my eyes.

"What is that cave Celestia?" I asked and everyone looked to her.

"It's something Luna and I made many, many years ago... it house's a portal to where our father is buried" Celestia said and this piqued everyones intrest. "This is the reason why I had moved our castle to this mountian, its cause we found the portal inside while searching for lands to claim... our mothers never told us what happened to our father only that they buried him in a sacred place somwhere in Equstria... though we vowed to never go in for the sake of not disturbing his peace" She finished and now I was filled with curiosity.

"So ya never went in, didnt ye want ta see yer father or at least his grave... pay yer respects?" Greenie asked and Celestia nodded.

"For years I've wanted to see his grave, but I decided to break the vow when Luna had returned and become her old self once more... I must've forgotten over the millennia of waiting for Luna while ruling a kingdome" Celestia answered.

"This is getting intresting" Edge said.

"Hell yes it is, anyone up for a little exploring?" Rainbow asked and most of everyone cheered yes.

"I don't know, shouldn't we have Luna with us to see her father's grave as well" Steel threw in and everyone gave an 'o' to the realization. "She's still in a coma since the tree of harmony, maybe we should wait"

"You may be right Steel, but I wanna know the name of the guy who was crazy enough to bang two literal goddesses" I joked laughing a bit but was pinched hard by Twilight. "Hey, that hurts!"

"Then dont say stuff like that then" Twilight said and let me go. "Well I know now if I ever have kids, I'll be a good mom since I've dealt and took care of lux for a few months"

"Or a terrible one" I muttered and was pinched again this time harder. "Aaaah! I'm sorry I'm sorry!" I begged and she let me go. "What does Steel see in you?"

"A nerd" Steel said kissing her cheek. "Anyways, the doctor said that Luna should be waking up any day now, so I think we should wait till then" He said. "Agreed? "

"Yup"

"Aye"

"Yes"

"No problem"

"Yeah"

One after another they agreed and all that was left was me. I looked around to see them staring at me waiting for me to answer. ".... Fine" I said a bit disappointed, but what that guy said was still going through head.

"Whats wrong Lux?" Fluttershy asked.

"Nothing... its just... nevermind Im going to bed" I said and walked out of the library. The night was still young so I decided to do some exploring, didn't want Twilight or the others to know since they're scared of what might happen if Im found. I was roaming the halls, and the room's of the castle trying to see what was fun around here but all their was, was nothing but big empty rooms, the maids quarters and the armory.

I was now outside taking in the cold air, though I cant feel it, it felt good being outside. Spending all my valuable time in doors is such a waste for someone like me, I was currently walking through Celestias ginormous garder. No matter where I turned their was a flower right infront of me, to be honest it was really beautiful, peaceful even... never felt like this before.

"You know kid, you and I are almost a like" I snapped my head around and saw the man again this time I could fully see what he looked like.

He wore a dark red jacket over a whole white metal type of suite with a red bat in the middle and a bright red jacket with the hood over his head, black leather gloves that looked a little ruffed up, black military pants and boots, and finally two brown holsters for his ashy white pistols. He was sitting down on the fountian edge sharpening a long knife. "We were both arrogant, full of rage, thinking we could do anything ourselves, a little selfish but really who isnt... were broken, only barely fixed" He said and stop sharpening the knife. "But the only thing that doesnt make us the same, is that you have your friends and family while all of mine... left me"

"Who are you?" I asked him and he put his knife away then stood up.

"I go by Red Hood, but my name is Jason Todd, and apparently Im your 'ancestor'" Jason answered and held out his hand, then suddenly summoned the twin blades in his hand. "Your brother doesnt really know what he's talking about, he's to protective because of what happened to that Luna girl... here, take'em" He said and tossed me the blades but as they touched my hands they shattered, I stood their in shock and I know Jason wasnt expecting this either.

"Is... is that supposed to happen?" I asked him and he was silent. He put his hand on his chin and humed for a moment, then became silent again.

"Not really, those were your blades kid but it seems that that's not the case... but then again if thats not your weapon then what-" Jason started and quickly whipped his head to the right. "Someones here... take this" He quickly said and tossed me a Gun

"Wait-" I called out but we heared the person coming closer and he vanished into thin air. I ran over to a nearby bush and waited for the person to appear. I checked the pistol to make sure its loaded and, seeing that it is I got ready.

"Strange, I could've sworn I heared someone out here" A somewhat raspy
and confident voice rang through my ears. I peeked over the bushes a bit and saw a mare with purple fur, a dark blue mane and tail wearing one of the guards training gear with a wooden sword on her hip.

She looked beautiful, I couldn't stop looking at her and I dont think I wanted too. She had different colored eyes, one was green while the other was baby blue, and she had a small fang peeping out of the left side of her mouth. Only thing that was wrong, was that she looked at least a few years older than me.

"Geez, making a rookie do the night watch with a wooden sword and the training gear" The mare complained a bit only to sigh. "Apparently every damn mare has a bust size of double d's and up, lucky bitches" She said sitting down and I looked at her small chest. "Wonder if they got a spell to have a bigger bust size"

"I dont think they're that bad" I blurted out, I slapped my hand over my mouth as I heared the mare yelp slightly.

"Who's their, show yourself!" She demanded looking in my direction. She drew the wooden sword and slowly approached the bush, "Last chance!" She warned.

'Me and my stupid mouth!' I thought. "Alright, just... don't swing that sword ok?" I said putting the gun under the bushes and slowly came out from behind the leaves.

"A human?" She muttered lowering her sword a bit only to bring it back up. "How... how is their another human in this world, last time I checked their were only two" she said a little freaked out seeing me. "And a child no less"

"Hey lady, Im 15 Im no child" I corrected her, she looked me up and down and gave me an unimpressed look.

"Listen kid, I dont know why you're here but Im gonna let you off with a warning ok" The mare said and put her wooden sword back in the sheath. She walked up to me and grabbed my arm firmly then started dragging me through the garden. "But I still have to let princess Celestia know of you, maybe she'll have some answers" she said.

"Uh, actually I was wondering if I could just keep walking around the gardens, first time Im not restricted by walls" I said. "And uh... I did mean I said back their in the bushes" I added and we stopped.

"You heared... all of that?" She asked turning to me with a small blush and a glare that screamed murder, which made her oddly more attractive.

"Has anyone said you look beautiful when you have murderous intent?" I asked and was punched in the gut. "Gonna whizz red" I wheezed out holding my stomach.

"Im warning you kid-"

"How many times do I have to say it?" I asked getting back to my feet chuckling a little, the guard readied herself. "Im not a kid flat chest"

"Oh you asked for it!" She screamed and tackled me to the floor, we slid across the grass and she pinned me to the ground. She sent a few jabs across my face and went to slam both of her fists on my chest, but I blocked then kicked her off of me launching her to a nearby tree.

I got up and wiped away a little blood from my lips, I popped my knuckles and ran towards the mare. She saw this and charged at me, as we grew closer I jump up slightly reeling my fist back in order to use the momentum I gained to make the punch harder.

The mare slid to a stop as we were right infront of eachother, she reeled her fist back to send a punch with everything she had. And we sent our fists at one another, but they connected and went into a power struggle though I had felt something crack in my hand, I grunted and strained to win the struggle. I looked at the mare and noticed she was hurt as well, but still trying to win the struggle.

I grabbed her arm, breaking the struggle, and pulled her into a hard knee and a sharp elbow to the cheek. I let her go to kick her back, but she grabbed my leg and swung me towards the tree hitting it with a hard thud. She wasnt done, as I was recovering she ran up on me kicked my side hard then punched me across the face again. The mare then grabbed my hand and threw me across the grass in a tired and beaten state.

"Give it up kid, before you get really hurt" She warned.

"You need to find another definition for going easy, but I'm not giving up that easy" I said, I winced at the pain from my hand and side but I got back to my feet and raised my fists. "I can do this all day" I panted.

"You asked for it, dont say I didn't warn you" The mare growled before sprinting towards me. I smirked as I looked at the different possibilities of attack she was going to use, and as she got close enough to strike, I dodged it. "What the hell" she tried again and again but continued missing, "Hold still damn it"

"Sorry flat chest, but I should've just stopped this fight when it started" I said playful grabbing the fist coming towards my face. She looked at me with suprise and sent a kick to which I caught, "Cause if I took this seriously like I am now, you would have never even touched me" I snorted softly as I finished my sentence.

"Really now" She said a bit to cocky and went for a headbutt only for me to throw her fist back at her and she punched herself hard. "Fuckin shit that hurt, cheap bastard!" She yelled until I kneed her again and tossed her away.

"Tell me something I dont know" I said chuckling at the insult. She got up on all fours and spat out some blood before getting back to her feet. The mare wobbled slightly trying to steady herself. "Give up while you're still conscious"

"Like hell" She spat and made a break for me, but two steps in I was already infront of her with my fists balled up. "What the fu-" I cut her off with a hard uppercut sending into the air slight then I pushed her to the ground.

"Yatta" I looked at the mare and checked to see if she was breathing. The armor made it hard to check her neck so I took her chest peice off, once I did I tossed it away and looked back only to her breasts fully exposed. ".......... Shit" I said plainly silently panicking, I quickly looked around my surroundings to make sure no one was watching.

I took a deep before checking her pulse. While I did I was looking for signs of breathing, I felt the small pulses and sighed in relief. It was quickly replaced with dread when I heared a gasp from behind me, I turned to see another guards mare. She had the standard guard armor and sword, she had pink fur and a red mane and tail, bright yellow iris and had a good amount of muscle.

"What are you doing to lullaby!" The pink mare demanded, her voice was stern and bossy in a way. She unsheathed her sword and glared daggers at me.

"Wait a minute! Its not what you think, really!" I tried to assure her but I noticed that my hand slide from lullaby's neck and onto one of her small breasts. My blood went cold and my heart sank, I couldnt even give out a little yelp, all I could do was slowly look back at the mare. Her face was hidden behind the shadow of the helmet and somehow her eyes had turned bright red. "What is this anime plot shit!" I yelled before making a run for it.

"Stop you sexual harasser!" The mare yelled at me and chased after me. Luckily I was faster plus I had a head start, so I ran towards the castles forest and flew past the trees. Im sure by now I lost the mare so I stopped half way in and looked behind me, seeing that I was right I sat on the ground to catch my breathe.

"Son of a bitch" I panted out. "Great... now Im the bad guy again, pretty sure that pink mare is gonna come after me so I should probably head back inside" I said to myself until I realized I left Jason's gun under the bushes. "Damn it I left the gun behind"

"No you didn't" Jason said reappearing behind me, I turned and he held his gun up before holstering it. "Gotta take better care of my stuff kid"

"Sorry bout that, anyways, Im sure you saw what happened back their so I think it would be best if I go back to the others" I suggested.

"Good plan, but how are you gonna explain that 'sexual harassment' to your friends?" Jason asked and I was left with a blank mind. "Exactly, so you better start coming up with an excuse now" he said before vanishing, leaving me to my thoughts.

"Easier said than done, but he's got a point... pretty sure Twilights gonna kill me" I mumbled before turning around and began walking back to the castle. That is, until I heared a small ringing coming from my right. "The hell?" I questioned, without a second thought I began walking towards the sound.

As I walked towards the ringing it ecame louder and louder, almost unbearably loud, but I pressed on. After a few minutes of walking, I was now face to face with a tall old wall, it looked like it was here for ages. "Whoa, how long has this been here... how long have we not known about this place?" I questioned silently running my hand against the old cold stone wall. "It feels like... something's in their" I said and began looking for a way inside.

After searching for a bit I noticed that the wall had a large metal door, locked and held together with a chain. The door itself felt warm, and emitted a strong magical aura around it.

"How do I get inside?" I pondered, I thought for a moment before trying to use magic. I took a step back and held out my hand forming the magic around my hand, I gripped the chain with the aura and began pulling it. The chains themselves looked weak, but they were pretty durable since I was struggling to even get it to crack.

I gritted my teeth and used everything I had to break them and through my efforts, I heared a snap and I fell on my back. The broken chain hung from the latches on the door and soon fell to the ground.

I got up and dusted myself off before going towards the door and opening it. The first thing I felt was a rush of icy cold air flying past me, I looked inside and saw a dimly lit walkway. I walked in a few feet to see how far it might've been, but just as I was about to test it the door behind me slamed shut and I heared the chain slide back into place and lock itself.

"Guess Im not going back that way, I wonder whats down here?" I questioned and began slowly walking deeper in to the darkness. I tried to use my fire to light the way a bit more, but their seems to be a magic dampening spell, that means Im stuck unless a way out is at the end of this path.

I continued walking for a bit, to be honest, it felt like Ive been walking for hours. I don't know if I was making progress or not but I'll soon find out. Step after step, minute after minute I finally began to see a bright light. I made a dash for it and seeing the light was the most refreshing thing to witness after walking in the dark for who knows how long.

I finally made it to the light and it was an opening leading to a big arena type of place, if was lit by the moonlight and from what I see, it was massive. The size of ten football fields put together with broken weapons, armor, sheilds, skeletons either spread out or hung on the wall. I stared in awe as I saw this, it was amazing and I couldn't help myself as I rushed down the steps to get a closer look.

"Woooow, this is so fuckin cool!" I exclaimed excitedly. I kept look at the armor and weapons that look like they've been here for hundreds maybe even thousands of years. The sand had patches of old blood on and was pierced with weapons of the fallen warriors on the floor.

"Easy kid, dont get to excited, we gotta find a way out of here" Jason said appearing next to me, I groaned slightly knowing he was right. "C'mon, before something else happens that lead us to fighting a damn beast" he added nudging me forward and I began looking around for an exit only finding the hole above as a way out.

"I think I could make that jump, what do you think?" I asked Jason who calculated for a bit.

"You might be able to, probably with a boost" He said and I nodded and took a few steps back for a running start. "Alright, on the count of three.... one... two.... three!"

I rushed towards him and in one swift motion I launched up to the hole and reached out to grab the ledge but fell short and crashed back on the ground.

"That... hurt" I wheezed out, slowly and shakily getting up. "I think I fell on something, felt it when I landed ever so gracefully" I said and looked to see what it was. "What the-?"

It was some sort of key shaped blade, that or a deformed sword with no edge to it. The blade was silver and the guard was pure gold and had a great grip on it surprisingly, and it had a chain but was missing whatever was connected to it at the bottom. "The hell is this goofy thing?" I asked Jason.

"Looks pointless, doesn't even have an edge or a point" Jason said and seeing his point, I tossed the weapon back and started walking back to him. As I did I suddenly heared a small ping sound in my ear and felt something heavy in my left hand, I looked to see that keyblade thing in it. "I said toss it Lux"

"I did, it just reappeared in my hand" I said looking it over. "Dont you think its kinda strange we didn't see a weapon like this sticking out of the ground?" I asked.

Jason rolled his eyes under his mask and grabbed the keyblade and chucked it. As it flew through the air, it vanished and reappeared in my hand. "What the hell" he mumble.

"Thats pretty cool actually, I think I might keep this thing" I said spinning it in my hand.

"Well I hope so, cause its not gonna leave" Me and Jason turned to see who spoke and it was a kid at least two years old than me, with brown spikey hair, blue eyes, wearing a black shirt, gloves, shorts and a jacket with a light red outline and big black shoes with yellow on the sides. "Whats up, my names Sora, Im also a keyblade wielder like you"

"Keyblade?" I asked Sora who nodded.

"That thing in your hand, its called a keyblade and its a very powerful weapon that has to accept those with pure in order to weild it" Sora said happily, I looked at Jason who looked at me and we both laughed. "Heeey whats so funny, Im serious!"

"You think Lux is pure of heart, sorry kid but you got the wrong guy" Jason said.

"Yeah Sora sorry to break it to you but Ive hurt alot of people and almost killed my brother and his girlfriend twice" I said. "Im pretty much evil"

"That was the old you Lux... do you remember that shred of light you saw in Steels head?" Sora asked yo which I nodded. "That was the good side of you, cause no matter how dark it may seem, their will always be a shred of light in the darkness. And by destroying the darkness inside of your heart, their was only light" He explained but it kinda confused me a bit.

"Ok so, what you're trying to tell me is... is that Im not evil anymore?" I asked and he nodded. "I mean... I guess you're kinda right, I felt the changes these past few months but I assumed it was nothing. Guess it wasn't" I said and looked at the keyblade.

"You know, its strange really, I usually have my good friends Donald and Goofy with me but I guess they wont be joining me this time. Im not dead, just asleep really" Sora said.

"You have some weird dreams my dude, but how can you be asleep? I can touch you" I questioned him after poking him.

"Its... a very long story, my friends are also asleep as well so I should've expected them not to be here, anyways I'll tell you later first we have to get out of here" Sora said and we all agreed. After searching for a few more minutes we decided to try the hole once again.

I took a couple of steps back and I sprinted towards Jason and launched myself up again, this time I actually touched the edge but it wasnt enough to grip onto. "Damn it, We were so close!" I yelled.

"Its just a matter of trying, you were close this time" Sora said trying to calm me down.

"Hey wait, can't you fly Lux?" Jason asked I gave him a deadpan look.

"Im not Steel anymore Jason, I dont know how to fly and I dont even have wings nor can I concentrate my ki to fly cause I havent learned that yet" I explained before slumping to the ground sighing in defeat. "Theirs gotta be a way out of here" I said as I gazed at the hole in the ceiling.

"Hey Jason, lets go look around a bit more... give Lux some time to think" Sora threw out and Jason nodded before the two began searching again. I continued to stare at the hole for awhile longer, it was the only way out but Im just a bit short of reaching it. I sighed knowing it would be almost impossible to grip onto the ledge, I looked down and stared at my keyblade for a bit.

Then it hit me like Twilights pinches, I got back to my feet and called back Jason and Sora.

"Whats up kid?" Jason asked

"Yeah, why are you so excited?" Sora jumped in.

"I figured out how to get out of here, Jason get ready to launch me ok" I said to the man who slowly nodded as I stepped back a few feet. I looked at the keyblade then the hole and dashed towards Jason, as I got closer to Jason I was getting ready to be launched but I stopped when we felt the ground shake. "What... was that?" I asked only to be answered with another rumble and this time a roar following it.

"Ok, What Was That?" I asked, a little terrified by that roar.

"I don't know but I think we spent to much time here" Jason said snapping me back into my plan, I took a few steps then once again sprinted and launched myself from Jason. As I grew closer to the top I reached out with the keyblade and hooked the tip of it to the edge.

"Yes! Alright lets get the hell out of here!" I said hoisted myself up, climbing ontop of the roof of wherever I was. I looked around to see that I was still in the forest, although it seemed I was in the middle of the forest. "Alright time to head back to the castle" I said in relief and jumped off the old Coliseum and booked it back to the castle.

"And another thing Lux, I've told you plenty of times not to leavr the castle, but you still go and get titled as a sexual harasser!" Twilight yelled chewing ne out the moment everyone found me. To say I was embarrassed was an understatement really, and Steel tried to take my keyblade away but I some how made it disappear from my hands which meant I got lucky. "You are going to apologize to that mare for doing what you did"

"And whats that 'mom', making sure was still breathing?" I asked. "In case you haven't noticed, Im the one being tossed all the blame when she's the one that started it so excuse me for not eagerly giving her a written apology" I spat out and the guardsmare glared daggers at me.

"You didn't have to rip my armor off kid!" Lullaby growled.

"Be thankful I didn't kill you!" I snapped at her before Twilight stepped in.

"You two are acting like children... wrong choice of words, but none the less one of you is a child while the other is a grown mare" Twilight said making Lullaby grit her teeth knowing she was right. "And you mr. Im gonna kill everybody, apologize for ripping her armor off now, its 3 in the morning and quite frankly I would rather be sleeping than dealing with two foals"

"... Fine, Im sorry I was making sure you were breathing-AAH!" I screamed a bit when twilight pinched my ear.

"What was that?!"

"Im sorry for ripping off your armor and seeing your chest, please forgive me- let go damn it!" I apologize and Twilight let her death grip on my ear go.

"Thats better, now Lullaby Id appreciate it if you will apologize for starting the fight with Lux" Twilight asked kindly and seeing that she wasnt playing, Lullaby sighed in defeat.

"Im... sorry for starting a fight with you and I accept your apology" Lullaby said and after a few more minutes of talking we all went our separate ways. Well I would've if Twilight wasn't using her magic to pull me by my arm to my room.

"I said I was sorry Twilight"

"Well you need to learn to listin to instructions better, and clearly you cannot so Im locking you in your room until we leave" Twilight stated as we got infront of the doors.

"Oh really, you do know I have magic too right?" I asked as she opened the door and nudged me inside.

"I do, but Celestia told me you haven't fully developed it well enough to disable spells so Im confident you cant leave with my spell on the door" Twilight said snapping her fingers and instantly the doors were blocked off by a lavender colored aura forming a force field. "Their, I will have the maids bring you breakfast, lunch and dinner so get comfortable cause we're here for the whole month" She finished and slammed the door shut.

"Im a grown ass man Im no child that should be grounded!" I yelled bashing my fists on the force-field. "God damn it!"

"Whoa, Lux you gotta calm down" Sora said appearing behind me.

"He's right kid, no sense in wasting energy" Jason added appearing next to Sora. I took a couple of deep breathes but they dont seem to be working.

"FUCK THIS GOD FORSAKEN WORLD!" I screamed and pubched the aura as hard as I could only to end up break my hand. "Whats the difference between Steels head and out here, Im just another prisoner" I said, my voice cracking a bit as I fell to my knees, I turned over and sat down with my head looking at the floor.

"Lux, I get what you mean and believe me when I say that its a tough pill to swallow... but the world can never be what you thought it might turn out to be" Jason said coming over and sitting next to me. "I was like you, but, I found my way out of what I was becoming"

"I can say the same for me as well, my friends helped me when I was on the edge of darkness at one point... but they got through to me and we've been together for as long as I can remember" Sora said sitting down on the other side of me.

"In that damn head I was left alone, in the darkness, and I couldn't hear nor could I feel anything except for hatred and rage... now with this new body, I... I dont know if I can handle it" I admitted, for the first time I felt like crying and I felt scared.

"Well kid, you got us now... and we aint leavin for a long time" Jason said.

"That's right, we'll always have your back Lux" Sora said ending with a big smile, it somehow made me feel a bit better.

"Always" Jason said and took off his mask, he had tan skin, short black hair and blue eyes.

"Thank's guy's... that mean's a lot" I thanked and got back to my feet. "Gotta look on the bright side, now I can practice my magic and how to use the keyblade" I said and summond said blade.

"Right, and I can teach you how to channel magic through it to create different spells" Sora summoning his keyblade. "Its kinda like a big wand, but you can do some pretty crazy tricks with it" he said demonstrating by summoning fire with it and spinned it in his hand before throwing it at the wall, but just before he hit it. The blade came back and Sora caught it, then made the fire vanish.

"You gotta teach me that " I said and tried it but only got it bounced back to me hitting my chest. "Yeah... should've seen that coming" I groaned.

"Alright, right now we got time so let's get started on this little training of yours" Jason said putting his helmet back on and pulled out two knives. "Im gonna show you how to fight properly"

"Alright guys, lets get to work"

Half A Month Later

"Shit!" I shouted as sora knocked me to the ground for fifth time. I tried to get back up but he kept me down with his keyblade and forced me to yeild. "Damn it! I was so close that time" I spat and fell back to the ground.

"You are getting better at handling that keyblade though Lux, it HAS only been half a month and you're almost as good as me" Sora said helping me up to my feet.

"Yeah, thats true its probably because of Jason's harsh fuckin lessons thou-" I was cut off with a kick to my back.

"Dooooooooodge!" Jason screamed a vut late.

"You're supposed to say that before you kick me asshole!" I yelled at the man.

"Should've been on your toes Lux, but since I got your attention maybe you should consider cleaning this warzone you call a room" Jason said pointing the the obliterated room. The walls had scratches and holes, the floor had cracks and missing tiles, my bed was literally just a pile of springes and sharp peices of wood with torn pillows.

The ceiling wasnt any different and the only thing that was stable, was the bathroom. But Jason had a point, I should probably attempt to clean this room, the maids are to scared to even come inside the room.

"Alright, let me see what I can do" I said and threw the keyblade back causing it to vanish. I had worjed o my sword skilles and my magic and from what Sora and Jason say, Ive pretty much got my skills on lock but still need some practice. I snapped my fingers and suddenly everything was in my magic aura, I waved my hand and slowly everything started to go back to how it was when I first got here. "There we go, like nothing ever happened"

"Impressive, now then, I believe we should take today off" Jason said. "We've worked you to the bone so I think you deserve a little break today" he finished and I sighed in relief.

"Thank the gods, I can get some actual sleep" I said before heading to my bed and falling face first into the cloud I call a mattress. "Feels great" I said in a muffled tone.

Before I could go to sleep, I heared my door open I saw Twilight with a tray of food in her magic. "How are you doing Lux?"

"Kill me"

"So good I presume, well I know I told you you're going to be stuck here for awhile so I just wanted to see how you were doing" Twilight went on as she came in and set the food next to my tired body. "Say... Lux, is that blood on your arm?" She asked and nodded. "Are you okay?"

"Peachy, just tired" I groaned out and flipped on my back and Twilight looked a little worried seeing my bruised and scratched up face. "Nothin but boredom Twilight"

"Lux... is their something you're not telling me?" Twilight asked as she sat me up and looked at my face. "You know Im not angry anymore so you can tell me what's on your mind" she said.

"I know, but Im fine. Really" I said assuring her but she wasnt convinced.

"Well you're going to need a healing spell for these injuries Lux, I may be good with magic but not the healing spells" Twilight said and grabbed my arm. "Lets go see the medical staff here at the castle" she said and led me out of my room and kept me in tow till we reached the medical wing of the castle.

"Miss Twilight, what brings you by today?" A nurse asked the moment we walked in, the nurse saw me and came over to look me over. "What happened?"

"I'll be honest, I have no idea" Twilight said. "Do you think you can help heal him a bit nurse feather weight?" She asked and the nurse nodded.

"Come along then, it shouldn't take more than an hour considering these injuries and any other on his body" Nurse feather weight said and the took to one of the rooms and it was the one right next to Luna's. "Have a seat young man, I'll be back with some medicine for your cuts and I'll tend to your bruises with magic" she said and left the room.

"Im going to be right back, I gotta go check in with the other nurses and see if they have any news on Luna" Twilight said heading for the door. "And please dont leave room, if you do that I'll let you free for the rest of the month" She said and I sighed.

"Alright" I simply said and sat on the bed in the middle of the room. Twilight left and I was left alone with my thoughts. "You can come out guys" I said and both Sora and Jason appear next to me.

"So Lux, is that your mom or something?" Sora asked and I shrugged.

"Might as well be, acts like my mother" I said and sat up. "I think she's only doing it because Im like this, if I was my actual age Id have every woman falling for me in seconds" I said and Jason laughed.

"Keep telling yourself that, anyways, what should we do while we wait?" Jason asked and I began thinking until I heared a small crash and someone moaning. "Sounded like it was next door"

"That's Luna's room" I muttered and got up from the bed and summoned the keyblade. "You two go back in my head, I'll see whats going on" I said and doing as told they went back in and I looked out the halls to see if anyone was coming, luckily no one was in sight so I slipped out and rounded myself into Luna's room. The room was empty, save for a naked woman on the floor wearing a hospital gown.

"Help... I feel so.... weak" The woman groaned and I quickly went over to help her up. Once she was up I helped back to her bed and sat her down, "Thank you very much... I dont know what came over me... Suddenly waking up in a hospital bed and having no idea how you get there, gives you quite a scare really" She said and I got a look at her.

"L... Luna?" I asked hesitantly and she cocked her head to the side a little.

"Who else would I be?" Luna asked and squinted her eyes scanning me a bit. "And who might you be little one?" She asked and I was at a loss for words, her human self didnt even come close to this, granted she was also beautiful but... not like this. "Are you sick little one? Your face has become flushed" Luna said putting her hand on my head.

It was then I noticed I was blushing rather heavily, more so was because I was embarrassed she noticed it. "Uh- well- y-you see I was just- uh.... *ahem*, Luna this might suprise you a bit but please try to stay calm" I said snapping myself out of my stutter.

"Alright, what is it?"

"Well Luna, the first thing I should tell is that you're not... you, so to speak" I said and she looked confused. I summoned a mirror and handed it to her, she looked and not even a second later dropped it in shock.

"How- why- when did- Im... Im human?!" Luna screamed panicking a bit looking at her creamy white hands and seeing no dark blue fur. "How did this happen?!" She asked me.

"Well after I saved everyone from being destroyed by my evil side, we went to rescue you and the other princesses from the vines discord had planted many years ago" I started. "And when we got you free, you were turned into a human... the vines had smelt the secent of Steel on your being so it took some of Steels blood and dna then fused small fragmentsof it with yours, no that doesnt mean you're related to him but you are connected with him on a whole new level" I finished and Luna picked up the mirror and looked at herself again.

"This is quite a lot to take in, first thing I remember is Steel waving goodbye then flying off and then I wake up here... turned human" Luna said looking over herself. "I must look hideous compared to other human females" she said but I chuckled.

"Well, you'd be wrong... you're actually the most beautiful woman I've ever seen by far" I said without thinking and I blushed a little.

"Awe, thats very kind of you to say young one" Luna cooed patting my head and ruffling my hair. "That reminds me, Im sure you despise being called young one so may I have your name?" Luna asked and I felt my heart drop.

"My uh... my name?" I repeated and she nodded. "Uh, well Luna... can you guess?" I asked and she looked at me for a moment. As she looked at me, it felt like the seconds had turned to minuted which turned to hours until it finally dawned on her.

"Lux?" Luna muttered.

"Yeah" I answered and waited for whatever she was going to say or do, what I felt was completely different from what I was thinking. I was expecting her to get angry or attack me, anything really. But all I felt was her arms wrap around me and hug me. "Huh"

"Im so happy you're finally free Lux, you have to tell me what you've been doing since I've been asleep, like why you're a young man again, have you found any mares, how is it feeling free to wander about in your new body" Luna said genuinely happy for me. I felt something roll down my cheek as she continued asking me questions, she pulled back from the hug and her happy face was replaced with worry and confusion. "Are you alright Lux?" She asked wiping the tear away.

"I just... I can't tell you much it means to finally have someone else say they're happy for me" I choked out and I felt more tears falling out of my eyes. "Im still learning emotions so I dont how to feel right now, I feel like I cant contain it anymore" I said and pulled her back into a hug.

"You're feeling happiness Lux, sometimes happiness is so overwhelming, you start crying " Luna explained accepting the hug, and wiped my tears once I stopped hugging her. "How have the others been treating you Lux?" Luna asked still wiping my tears away and drying my face.

"I honestly have no idea Luna, sometimes they like me... sometimes they despise me, but most of all, they're scared of me" I said, she offered a seat next to her and I took it. "I've made two new friends these past few months, and they've helped me cope with some of my problems" I continued.

"Have you tried talking to anyone else lux?" Luna asked me and I shook my head.

"I always clam up and push it down, not very good for me honestly... Twilight has tried and only had a few times where I opened up on how I felt" I answered. "I've been treated like a prisoner all over again Luna, the others told me that 'soon Ill be announced to the public, let them know of my existence'... after that, not a peep" I finished.

"Seems you've had a rough couple of months in the world Lux, especially when you've been barely brought into it" Luna said. "I dont think its fair to hide you away from everyone, I believe you have the right to be able to freely choose what you want to do from now on" Luna said pulling me once more. "Dont worry Lux, I'll see to it you have the right, and Ill talk to my sister and that man I call a coltfriend" Luna assured me and I sighed in feeling like the workd was lifted off my shoulders.

"Thanks Luna... that means a lot" I muttered a bit, but was loud enough for her to hear it.

"Your very welcome young one" she said and I drew back from the hug once more. "Now then, I believe we've been sad for far to long, tell me lux... what has happened to equis since Ive been asleep?"

"We've all been waiting for you to wake up really, Steel was a little torn up that you were in a coma and came here everyday asking for updates and just sitting next to you, waiting" I said making the princess awe at this.

"Well I cant wait to see him, Lux, can you be a dear and get me something to wear please" Luna asked and I nodded before snapping my fingers and summond a blue dress. "Well... I was thinking something less formal"

"I know just the thing"

Rarity Carousel Boutique

Luna and I appeared in Rarity's house and I sat Luna down before looking around for something that will fit the princess.

"What takes your fancy Luna, on me" I asked and she looked around the shop for a moment. I began looking around for something new I should wear. After an hour of searching, I found a black hoodie with short sleeves, a red shirt, black pants showing just a bit of my legs, red and black leather gloves and yellow sneakers. "I look kinda good in this"

"Hold up, try this on" Sora said throwing me a smaller version of his crown necklace. I put it on and it fit perfectly. "Now you look good"

"Could've added a little more red, but I agree" Jason complemented, the both vanished back in my head and I went to check on Luna.

"How's it going on your end Luna?" I asked the woman. I turned the corner and saw her wearing a baby blue sweater that was a little to big but still enough to fit, dark blue pants and purple sneakers. "Looking good Luna"

"I could say the same to you Lux, you look rather handsome in your new clothes" Luna complemented back, I smiled a bit and looked in the mirror. "Though that necklace is what really makes it"

"And here I thought it was my handsome face" I joked making her giggle. "Anyways, are you ready to head back?" I asked.

"Yes please, I still have to get used to the body, but I'd love to see everyone else first... especially a certain someone" Luna said and I rolled my eyes, I held out my hand to which she took and I teleported us back to the castle.

We landed in the gardens and instantly we both noticed how many guards were running about, almost like they're searching for something or someone. We looked at eachother for a moment, I was about to say something only for when my mouth opened I was tackled by two guards.

"Hey what the hell is-" I was cut off by a hard right to the face.

"Silence, you are under arrest for the kidnapping of princess Luna" I heared a familiar voice and I saw lullaby'e friend from last night. "And for sexual harrasing my dear friend, take him away!"

"Now just wait minute, I apologized for that and I did not kidnap Luna what do you take me for an Idiot?!" I yelled at the mare as I was brought to my feet. She gave me a disgusted look and another guard punched me in the stomach. "Goddamn you!" I coughed out.

"Stop this at on-"

"Please princess let us handle this, Steel and his friends are on their way to retrieve you" The mare said and walked off. I struggled against the guard's hold and broke out of it, I jumped back and summoned the keyblade then got ready.

"C'mon you buncha cowards, who wants to get their ass kicked by a 15 year old?" I asked. Most of them wanted to back out, but stayed to try and fight me, bad move, I pulled out my phone and headphones then picked a song. "Alright, I'll take on every single one of you pussies!" I exclaimed growing a psychotic smile and hit play.

I lunged forward quickly taking out the guard in the middle just as the song began. Following the first strike, I caught a spear aiming for me and snap it in half before punching the guy out cold then swung my blade as hard as I could behind me shooting the guard across the field with a broken chest peice.

I backflipped behind another guard and kicked the back of his legs making them buckle, then I kicked him on the side of his head. I soon felt a tingle in the back of my neck, I leaned back far enough back to dodge a sword aiming for my back. I pointed the keyblade at the guardsmare and shot a fireball at her making the mare get blown back against a wall unconscious.

I leaned back more planting my hands on the floor and jumped out of the way of an arrow. I saw the one responsible and ran towards the archer at almost impossible speeds grabbing her by the neck and threw her at two other guards.

I looked back at the guards and saw all of the rushing towards me. My smile grew to the point of were it hurt slightly.

"Need a little help Lux?" Jason asked appearing to my right.

"You know we got your back" Sora added appearing on my left.

"Alright, just dont kill them alright Jason" I said and we laughed for a minute before launching ourselves towards the army of guards.

One after another, with what seemed like no end. Jason was handling 4 guards with just his bare hands, Sora already took down a handful and was working on another. While I was pushing myself to the limits, using all the skills I learned to beat these whimps I handled myself pretty well. My moves were smooth and quick, fast but hard, and felt more alive than I ever have.

"Sora, on me" I called and reached out. Sora ran towards me and grabbed my hand and we began going in circles till we created a small tornado hitting guards who got near us with our keyblades and striking them with a small amount of electricity. We did this for a bit before we broke off spearing through the mass of guards. We continued fighting till the numbers started thinning to the two digits, possibly in the 20's.

"Jason, finale shot to end this, lets do it!" I shouted wiping off sweat from my head and booked it towards Jason who spin kicked a guard charging at him. He turned and cupped his hands, I reached him and he launched me up as high as he could. "Time to finish this stupid battle!" I said before making Jason and Sora go back in my head as I launched towards the ground covering my whole body in my fire. "HAAAAAAAAA!" I cried out just as I was going to pierce the ground.

"I've seen enough"

My attack was caught and disrupted by a familiar face.

"I thought Twilight grounded you, but you kidnap Luna and fight off an army, then try to finish it with this attack" Steel said pulling me forward and close lining me to the ground. The keyblade disappeared and I was knocked flat on the floor, the song ended and I coughed slightly at the the discomfort coming from my throat. "And here I thought you'd know better"

"Fuck... you" I coughed.

"Lux, are you alright?!" Luna asked rushing over to me.

"He's fine, just in a lot of trouble" Steel assured and dragged me back to my feet. "The blade Lux, hand it over" he said holding out his hand, I looked at it then Steel and spat in his palm.

"Bite me" I shot and was kneed in the gut.

"Steel that was uncalled for" Luna said giving the man a disapproving look.

"Luna, he spat in my hand and literally took out an army" Steel pointed out wiping said spit off. "Understand he's still getting used to things, but he's not a kid mentally so he shouldnt even be acting like one"

"Thanks asshole, but unlike you I dont know how to handle emotions so well" I wheezed out and just laid there for a second. "And you are never getting my keyblade Steel, not until you pry it from my cold dead fingers" I said chuckling a bit.

"Hand it over Lux, we both know you cant weild a weapon as well as I can" Steel asked once more.

"You know what, try an take it" I said summoning it and tossing it to him, he smirked and caught it. He looked it over and before he could do anything with it, it vanished and reappeared in my hand again. "Hahaha... Im the only person that can weild this thing, all because I have a good heart" I joked chuckling even more as I sat up.

"No more tricks, the blade, now" Steel demanded but before I could say anything we heared hurried footsteps.

"Is everyone alright?!" We heared Rainbow ask as the others ran up to us. "What the hell happened here?"

"And why is Lux looking like he fought an army" Edge asked pointing out my tired self.

"Well... he did" Luna answered pointing behind her showing them the unconscious bodies of the guards me, Jason and Sora beaten. "If Im being honest, it was quite a sight to behold"

"Ill say, I do hope these mares and stallions are alright, but I have to say those clothes look marvelous on you Lux!" Rarity said noticing my clothes. "I knew those clothes would be the right fit for you"

"Yeah, though I had to search for them along with Luna's clothes" I said getting to my feet and used the keyblade to hold me steady.

"Lux, I thought we told you, you cant have any weapon's" Twilight said crossing her arms.

"Thats what I told him but he wouldn't give it up" Steel said. "And didn't you ground him?"

"Yes, I did and he's going back to his room right now" Twilight demanded but I just snorted softly. "We had a deal Lux, you stay in the medical wing and you get to be free for the rest of the month"

"Yeah, fuck that" I said stretching my limbs and began walking off. "If you need me, I'll be somewhere thinking of how much I wanna kill you all" I said before continuing on back inside. As I walked thtough the halls, I passed many guards who glared at me and looked terrified seeing me. "Buncha wusses, cant handle a punch... or magic or getting tossed around like rag dolls" I muttered.

I walked a few more feet before I saw a door open at the end of a hall. Curiosity took over and I walked towards the door, halfway down the hallway I could hear the people talking. It was hard to make out but it sounded like a couple of mares.

"Nah, no way anyone is ballsy enough to fuck in the castle while on duty" I whispered to myself and snickered. I continued getting closer and I could make out the voices more clearly, though it was voices I didnt recognize.

"Did you see that, he took on that whole army by himself!" An impressed mare said, it sounded close to my age.

"Clearly you're blind, oh sister of mine, you didnt see the other two guys who were helping him" Another mare said, her voice sounded smoother unlike the other girl, more mature.

I peeked into the room just slightly and saw two mares both wearing armor. One was a Baby blue pegasus, had red spikey hair that poked through a slit on the top of her helmet, and had light red eyes although a little on the short side in height. The other mare had spikey yellow hair and like her sister she also had light red eyes, her fur was a reddish orange color and was just as tall as me.

"Not really I was more focused on that kid, he looked awesome out their, you gotta admit that spinning attack was cool" the red head said taking off her helment fully, she looked cute actually.

"Okay, I'll admit it was cool" The sister said also taking off her helmet, she was also pretty cute. What stood out the most is that they both kinda looked the same save for one being a unicorn and the other being a pegasus. "But didnt he sexual harass our older sister?" She asked and I froze a bit.

"Are you sure lemon wasnt over exaggerating, you know she tends to do that" The red head said sitting down on the couch on the other side of the room. "Besides, that mare cant get any action even if she wanted to, not a lot of stallions go personality ya know, they only see the body and thats it" she spat out.

"Well you're right about that, but out of all of them theirs at least one thats good" The orange haired girl said sitting next to her sister. It was at this moment that I realized I should leave, I already spent to much time eavesdropping in these two.

As I turned to leave, I ran into what felt like a wall. I felt around it and pushed off of it. "I could've sworn there wasnt a wall here before" I said looking at said wall only to realize it wasnt a wall... it was a person.

"What was that you little brat" I heared through girtted teeth. I looked up to see Lullaby giving me the coldest and most terrifying death glare Ive seen by far. "I forgave you for the sexual harassment but not the ass kicking or making fun of my flat chest"

"I mean, it's not my fault you're flatter than a marble wall" I jabbed and was grabbed and thrown into the room with the sisters. They both jumped at the sight of me flying to the wall and crashing into it. "*groan*... that's gonna leave a mark" I said falling to the ground then picking myself up.

"Whoa, your the kid from big fight outside" The red head said, but was silenced when Lullaby walked in. "Oh, did you call her flat?"

"Flatter than a marble wall" I said again, I stretched a bit to ease the pain but it seemed that fight outside is taking its toll. "Sorry for speaking the truth" I said and dodged a sword coming at my head. "Nice try"

"Say it again and I wont miss next time" Lullaby warned while I rolled my eyes. "And what were you doing eavesdropping on my sisters"

"Well Im sorry that curiosity is my weakness, I saw the door open and looked in, bothing more" I answered truthfully.

"I bet you were hoping to catch a peek weren't you?" Lullaby questioned.

"What, no, if I wanted to see a naked woman I could just go peep into the mare guards' changing area" I said without flinching or stuttering. "Besides, at least I could see more than what you had"

"Oh that is it!" Lullaby growled and tried to make a b-line towards me but was stopped by her sisters. "Let me go Crimson, Flare. I'm gonna break both of his hands and legs!"

"You need to calm down Lullaby" The girl with yellow hair said, now knowing it was crimson.

"Remember what princess Twilight said, you cant beat up anymore people or lose your temper" The red head reminded her, knowing that she is flare.

After a couple of minutes, Lullaby calmed down and just flipped me off.

"Why you showing me the only thing that give you action under the sheets?" I joked and was then punched across the face by her. "I'll admit, that was on me" I said laughing a bit.

"You annoying little shit!" Lullaby yelled before kicking me in the gut and left the room. I was still laughing but also coughing a bit.

"Its fun making her angry" I wheezed holding my stomach.

"Why do you enjoy making her angry?" Flare asked me to which I shrugged.

"I dont know, it's just fun I guess" I answered.

"But, you get hurt when you piss her off" Crimson said. "Why continue doing it if you'll just end up with a bruise?"

"Hell if I know, anyways, if you see her again tell her Im sorry for calling her a flatter than a marble wall" I said and began walking towards the door.

"Wait... do you really spy on the mares changing room?" Crimson asked and I stopped at the door. I looked back and snickered a bit.

"White" I said pointing at flare who blushed. "Pink" I said again pointing at crimson who blushed as well but hid it behind her hands. "See yall later" I waved and walked down towards the throne room.

I was finally left to my own thoughts, I never dreamed that I would miss the peace an quiet. Though sometimes I just need to be alone, I sighed a little to relax my body which helped until I heared a small thid behind me.

"Not now Brigid" I said, stopping in the hall not even turning around.

"To bad, we need to talk" Brigid said and walked up to me.

"About what?" I asked. "The amount of shit Im dealing with, it'll take way to long to explain it to you" I said and took a step forward but Brigid stopped me.

"Actually... I wanted to see if you would like to talk to your sister about these unstable emotions thats coursing through you" Brigid admitted, I thought about for a second then groaned knowing Im gonna sound like a bitch.

"Alright... lets talk about my fucked up emotions" I said and Brigid had the biggest smile I've seen her grow. She grabbed my hand and zoomed us off towards her's and Celestias room. "Didnt think youd be so excited"

"I've been wanting to help you figure your emotions out since day one!" Brigid said sitting me down on the couch. "I've talked with Celestia for days about how to go about this, since I myself didnt really have emotions like you at first, then when I became free. I was a mess, if it wasnt for Celestia I'd still be struggling with them" Brigid explained and brought over a big chair, setting it infront of the couch and sat down. "Now, lets begin"

"Ok... where should I start?" I asked and Brigid thought for moment.

"The beginning, when you were first living with Twilight" Brigid said and I began thinking back on that time.

"Well for as long as I could remember, all I understood was hatred and rage, Twilight was the only person that believed I wouldnt hurt anyone anymore" I started. "I began feeling this strange feeling everytime I looked at the others and at Twilight, I later learned that it was guilt" I said.

"Were you feeling guilt because of all the things that you had done?" Brigid asked and I nodded. "I bet the next feeling you got was something of the line of a deep pain you chest, like a knife constantly stabbing you" Brigid said and I nodded again.

"Exactly what you said, what is that called because for days I cried myself to sleep when I felt the pain" I asked her.

"That my dear brother is called, sadness, a very powerful emotion that cant quite literally take over your life if you allow it" Brigid said and I memorized the word.

"Sadness... yes, I was... sad for days not knowing why, often cried myself to sleep as I said before, Twilight got worried about me because of the crying" I continued. "She told me because I felt guilt and sadness, as you said, I became overwhelmed by it and she explained to me how to make it stop. She told me I needed to go an apologize to those that I have done wrong to, and I'll admit that I became scared to even face Steel's friends mainly because I was the one that almost killed their best friend and princess" I said digging deeper into my memories. "I soon found the courage to go and apologize to them, though getting yelled at was not what I had in mind... or the ass kicking done by strings" I said.

"Strings beat you up?" Brigid asked, disappoint in the stallion. "Why did he do that?"

"Like I said, I almost killed his bestfriend and tried taking over Steel's body" I said again leaning back into the soft couch. "After that, it was threats and more yelling... but I knew deep down that if I wasn't this age, and I was my original form, they would've feared me. After apologizing to them all, I still felt the pain in chest so I turned back to Twilight for answers, she said its not going to go away for awhile but it will soon"

"But it never did, did it" Brigid asked and I nodded.

"I just felt so angry because of that annoying pain, I tried every day to get it out of my system, but every time I tried a memory of myself almost killing someone flashes in my mind. Im forever stuck with guilt and regret for what I've done" I said holding the sides of my head trying to stop the headache I was having. There was nothing but silence for a while, until I felt Brigid's hands grab mine gently and pull them away from my head.

"We forgive you Lux" Brigid said and it was like the headache had stopped almost instantly. I looked up to Brigid and I felt the pain in my heart that still lingered, vanish. "I realized through the story you told, that you were never actually properly forgivin you only apologized and because of that you continued feeling the pain"

"I dont...*sigh* Im still lost on emotions" I said. "But I feel... a lot better than I have in days, thank you Brigid"

"If I'm being honest, I never thought I'd hear those words come from you" Brigid admitted.

"Yeah well, I haven't used it as often as I should have" I amitted. "Then again, I never thought I'd end up as a kid again" I said and we both laughed.

"I see you both finally talked" We bothered heared and I saw Celestia at the door. She closed the door behind her and sat next to me. "How did it go?"

"It went well Celly, by the way, how's Luna adjusting to her new body?" I asked.

"Steel is teaching her the basics, lucky for her it wont be hard using magic since she kept her horn, so shes doing good" Celestia answered and I nodded before getting up. "Off to somewhere Lux?"

"I need to go practice for a bit, practice makes perfect if I want to use this thing" I said as I walked to the door and summoned my keyblade. "I'll see ya'll later, and Brigid, tell Steel he's a prick" I said with a grin and walked off.

"For a fully grown man mentally, he sure acts like a child" Celestia said giggling a bit. "Though it is fun to watch him sometimes"

"Agreed, let's go make sure he wont hurt himself" Brigid said and the two began following me in silence.

I continued walking down the hall's with my hands behind my head, as carefree as the day I was created.

"Dun, dun, dun.. another one bites the dust" Sung to myself as I walked through the halls. "How do you think Im gonna get along without you when your gone" I continued and turned a corner seeing the open area of where I want to train. "Alright, this seems like a good spot, far from the others and just full of grass, Sora, let's go a few rounds" I said bringing out the keyblade and Sora appeared across from me with his keyblade.

"First to land a hit wins" Sora stated and I nodded and pulled out my phone and hit shuffle.

As it started we wasted no time charging at eachother and clashing blades. Each time our blades hit, it sounded like it was following the beat of the song. We swung at eachother a few more times before we entered a stalemate. Testing out strengths against eachother we continued grinding out blades, once the song picked up again I pushed Sora back and went for a slide dash.

Sora flipped over me and tried hitting me from above, but I blocked it and jumped back a few feet. Spinning the keyblade in my hand I rushed towards Sora and threw my blade, it spun and cut through the air at high speeds, but sora saw it coming a mile away.

He did an upward slash and deflected it away. I smirked and Sora noticed I wasn't stopping, he turned back to my flying keyblade and watched as it disappeared. Panicking, Sora spun back to me only to be speared in the gut feeling my full force hit him. He flew back a couple of feet and quickly regained his bearings, quickly stabbing the floor to stop himself just as the song ended.

"Better than I expected Lux, nice work" Sora said putting his keyblade away as did I. "Still needs some work but, you really got better"

"Thanks, anyways, I feel way to tired for anything else today so I'm taking a break" I stated, Sora nodded and went back into my head just as I sat and laid down on the grass. "This is nice" I sighed happily.

I laid back, enjoying the nice breeze and the warm sun for the second time this month. This is what I wanted, peace all to myself without anybody telling me what to do. And it was nice, for about 20 seconds.

"Lux, we need you to meet us in the throne room" Steel said popping up next to me.

"Im busy" I simply said.

"With what?" He asked.

"Busy not giving a damn" I answered to which he groaned at. "Why do you need me anyways, Im the 'problem child' remember" I asked not really caring about his answer.

"The others want to talk to you, as does Luna... she also told me to... apologize for how I acted towards you earlier, I didn't want anyone else hurt, Im sorry" Steek said and I thought for a second.

"And why does that apology sound so insincere" I asked. "But if the others want to talk Im game, but let me make things clear brother of mine, we aren't friends not by a long shot got it" I stated rather coldly and Steel nodded. I rose to my feet and popped my back before heading towards the halls. "And you two suck as tailing people, I suggestions less face hugging" I said to the mare and woman currently kissing behind a bush.

We walked towards the throne room in utter silence. Not a word needed to be said, I said my peice and Steel said his. Although that didn't stop Celestia and Brigid from trying to get us talking.

"So, Lux, you seem to have grown quite stronger with our lessons and training in your room. Maybe you and Steel could trade fighting techniques with one another" Celestia said and I shook my head.

"Would rather cut my hand off" I shot making the princess go quiet.

"Steel, wouldn't you like to talk with you younger brother?" Brigid asked. "Maybe even take him to see Dad and Zecora"

"Steel would rather leave me here, and daddy dearest would kill me on the spot before I can say "hi'" I said before Steel could get the chance. "I think we talked enough for today Brigid, which I do thank you for, but I would love to hear some silence" I said and she sighed before nodding. "Thank you"

We continued walking in silence until we reached the throne room, I saw everyone. The mane six, the guy's, gilda, trixie, spike, the royals and luna, cinder, ashy, lime, pitch and light heart. They all stood near the thrones and looked at me once I walked in the room, I looked at each and everyone of them and smirked.

"So what did y'all want to discuss, is it my bad behavior?" I asked still smirking.

"Actually Lux, we were talking about visiting Celestia and Lunas's father's grave" Twilight said. "But it came to our attention that you've been... acting rather strangely to us these past few weeks, would you mind explaining why?"

"I do mind Twilight, but I guess it wont hurt, the fact of the matter is that I despise most of you" I said bluntly. "After talking with Brigid and Luna, I've come to realise that none of you gave a damn about me, except for Twilight, I apologized for my actions towards you all and you respond with a beating and threats against my life" I stated making the others except the royals look down in a bit of shame. "So dont expect me to show you the kindness I've shown to you as much as I have up to this point" I finished feeling rather warm.

"Well atleast we can agree on something" Strings said and I chuckled.

"You were holding back, I must say then that you have the weakest punch I have ever felt" I taunted making him get riled up. "Wanna take a crack at it again, I can promise you it won't end with me getting patched up with 'Mommy' dearest" I said in a mocking tone and he was about to lose it but thankfully for him fluttershy held him back.

"Ok enough with the petty insults" Jack said stepping in. "Lux, I know we haven't been on the best of terms considering our history with you"

"Almost killing your bestfriend and the princess, or plotting to destroy everyone and everything that you love" I said. "Honestly I forgot which one you and Rainbow hated me for" I said chuckling a bit.

"And I am sorry for that, but what would you do if something like that might happen to you" Jack asked and I before I could answer I stopped. I had no idea what I would do, it's never happened to me before. "No idea how to answer, do you?"

"Course he doesn't, he hasnt been here that long, he's never had to protect anyone but himself" Strings jumped in.

"Don't know when to shut up do you?" I questioned and cleared my throat. "Though I have to agree, I never really about it and I don't know what I'll do... threating a child doesnt really help does it?"

"Alright enough of this conversation, we can settle this argument later" Steel stepped in and we stopped. "No sense in trying to right a wrong with another, we fucked up and made Lux feel... alone and has a valid reason to be angry with us, but we must continue this conversation when we get back from the king's grave" Steel said and silenced all of us.

"Then let's head out shall we" I said as I began walking to the doors. "This should be fun"

The King's Grave

We walked through the portal at the end of the cave like Celestia said and we ended up in an open area covered in every exotic flower known to this world. The sun shined softly and the wind blew briskly pass our bodies, the vibe it gave off was warm and welcoming.

We walked along a cobblestone path that still looks brand new until we reached halfway, seeing a massive dark blue and white castle. It outshined everything.

"This place is beautiful!" Rarity squealed in delight. "This is your fathers grave, I was expecting something a bit more gloomy and dark, this is so much more than I could've imagined"

"Yes, it is beautiful" Celestia said. "I would've never imagined our mothers would go this far for our father" She admitted and Luna agreed. We continued walking down the path until we had reached the castle gates, it was chained shut with a lock infront of it. The princess's tried to use their magic but it didnt even get halfway before it dissipated into the air.

"Now what?" Pinkie asked and I looked over it for a second.

"Use the keyblade Lux" Sora said in my head. "Its supposed to unlock anything" He said and I nodded then summoned my keyblade.

I jumped back a bit and pointed the keyblade at the lock, a small orb formed at the tip of the blade and after a few seconds a beam shot out of the orb and went into the lock causing it to click and come undone. I put the blade away as the lock fell to the ground and the gates opened.

"Well then, lets continue shall we" I said walking pass the gates with everyone in tow. Twilight kept asking me how I was able to get the gate open, I just answered with a shrug cause I didnt know either.

"We are going to talk about that blade later, but for now I think we should stay quiet" Twilight stated and stopped talking once we set foot inside the massive castle. We walked down the halls that were decorated with golden tiles, pearly white columns and walls, a strange plant that circled around the pillars and touched the ground with red and white flowers on it.

It was hard not to be in complete awe walking down the halls, everywhere we turned there was something to make us more impressed. Statues upon statues with the same man either with a sheild and sword or a spear, they wore only the chest peice, leggings, and boots. I stopped walking noticing something with the statues, they didn't have the same facial features like a ponies but more... like a human's.

I broke away from the group and walked into the gardens holding the statues to get a closer look. As soon as I set foot on the grass I felt a sudden wave of relief wash over me and I felt like all my trouble had been whisked away. I continued towards the statues and stopped just far enough from one to almost touch it, I looked at the statue and confirmed that it was a humans face.

"But the first humans weren't here until Celestia and Lunas mothers had vanished, how can this be possible" I muttered and decided to take another look around the garden. Unbeknownst to me, I was being followed. I continued my search until I reach a fountain literally made of gold and had the clearest water I've ever seen to the point I was tempted to see if it was even there. "No, I shouldn't mess with a dead man's grave" I said to myself before continuing to look around.

It wasnt long before I came across something else that caught my eye, it was a small housing area filled with weapons, armor, and magic books so old Twilight would have a feild day just seeing them. Like the castle they all still looked brand new, but what stood out from the collection was a pedestal holding torn dark red and brown calf high boots with some broken metal clamps on the foot and leg, and cracked golden lighting bolts on the ankles.

"Looks like you've seen better days, but how come these boots are the only things wore torn instead of everything in this place" I questioned walking up to the pedestal.

"Believe me we tried restoring those raggedy things, but that man casted a spell so that no one could fix them" I heared and spun around seeing Faust and Starust looking at the weapons. "Oooh sister remember when he fought that hydra with nothing but that spear!" Faust said excitedly.

"I do and remember these swords that helped us defeat the army of rouge dragons trying to conquer our lands *sigh* I think it was that day that he stole my heart" Stardust sighed with a dreamy smile.

"So this is your husband's arsenal I presume" I said turning back to the boots.

"Yes, he always loved to keep his toys with him, even in death" Faust said picking up a silver helmet with a red ethereal mohawk on top. "For some reason though he always seemed to like those boots more than anything in this place, we honestly don't know why" she said and they both walked over to the pedestal.

"Uh, do you mind if I..." I trailed off pointing at the boots and the sisters allowed me to hold them. "Nice weight to them, the design itself is beautifully made and I do love the lighting boots on the ankles... how come he never fixed them?" I asked.

"Like we said, he casted a spell and beyond that we dont know" Stardust answered, I looked over the boots more trying to figure out why their husband wouldn't want to fix these boots. "Besides that, why are you here Lux Tenebris and, a questioned Ive been meaning to ask, why are you so young?"

"I think he looks cute" Faust said and pinched my cheek slightly. "But yes, Stardust does have a point, why are you here"

"Well we've come to pay respects to Celestia said Luna's father" I said. "And for the reason why I am young, is because Discords chaos magic and destroying a peice of myself to save literally everyone" I finished and the sisters gave an 'o' at this.

"Well Im glad our daughters are finally going to pay respects to their father" Stardust said. "Way pass due if you ask me, then again way pass due to even mention this place"

"Its way passed due for Steel to give us some grandfoals" Faust said making Stardust get flustered. "What? Ist not like you arent thinking the same thing"

"Well I do think of it sometimes, but this is my daughter you're talking about she can have them when she's good'n ready" Stardust stated and Faust rolled her eyes.

"I hope Luna gets that baby maker going soon, Im not getting any younger and neither are you"

"Oh do not cross that line sister"

"Uh... child in the room" I butted in making the two stop. "Look it's none of my business wether Luna and Steel make a kid, but ya gotta give'em time really... anyways Im more intrested in these boots and why they're so special" I said.

"Well, if I remember correctly, that man said to us one night that his boots can only be worn if the boots have choosen its new master" Stardust said and I got an idea.

"Hand me the other boot, I wanna try something" I asked and they complied, handing me the boot I kicked off my shoes. "Ok, hopefully this wont turn out to be a bust or Im putting on a dead mans shoes... still fucked other wise" I said and placed the old boots on my feet.

I stood up and noticed they were a little big. No suprise, the idea was a bust and I kinda figured since its mainly Steel that gets to be chosen.

"Worth a shot, but guess they don't accept me... maybe it'll work on steel" I said and sat down. "Silly me for thinking I could be chosen for something, ah whatever" I muttered to myself and the sisters looked at me with confusion.

"What do you mean by that Lux?" Stardust asked me.

"Look at me, I am a literal mistake manifested by hate and rage and the darkest parts that reside in steels mind" I answered struggling to get the boot off.

"That is true Lux, but from what we've seen... You've changed recently" Faust said and I rolled my eyes. "Its true little one, yes you've had your downs-"

"What happened to the up's?" I asked interrupting the goddess and she gave a nervous chuckle.

"*Ahem* As I was saying, you've been at the bottom your whole life and even then you helped Steel protect his friends even though you knew they despised you" Faust continued. "So what a couple of old boots didn't choose you as a master, that strange blade you weild did"

"Sora even said so" Stardust joined in.

"That is true, and Im the only one that can weild it" I said and stopped trying to take off the boots. I sat down on the stairs, leading to the pedestal, bringing the sisters with me. I summoned the blade and I smiled a little and chuckled q bit as I put it away.

"See, now that smile makes you more handsome" Faust said and I chuckled a bit.

"Starting to sound like a grandma Faust, couldn't wait till Luna popped one out?" I joked.

"Well you're the closest thing Im going to get, but I do believe its time you go back to your friends Lux" Faust said and I nodded. I tried to take off the boots again, but still they wouldn't budge. "Is something wrong Lux?"

"Yes it seems as though you're struggling a lot" Stardust said and tried to help me get the boot off. Only to find it difficult as well. "What in the name of us is the meaning of this?"

"I... I can't get them off" I said panicking a bit. We all started trying to pry the boots off but not even so much as a rip came from it. "Whats going on?"

"Im not to sure myself really, Jonathan's boots haven't moved or been touch in many many years" Faust said absolutely confused.

"Wait... how did you get pass the guardian?" Stardust asked drawing me for a blank. "Oh no"

"Sister I thought I told you to destroy them, you know Jonathan hated those things!"

"I did... well, except for one" Stars admitted and not even a second later we heared a scream and something breaking. "Ok... my bad"

"We will discuss this later for now you and everyone must leave this place, the guardian is one of the things that you dont want to fight" Faust said as serious as possible.

"Twilight and the others!" I exclaimed and shot to my feet. "I gotta go help them"

"Lux be careful, this is something that not even you, Brigid or Steel can take on, it was built to be the one thing that could kill anything on this planet" Faust said. "Buy time for your friends and quickly get out of there, Stardust and I will stay behind and destroy it.

"But you said it could kill anything" I said and we heared more crashing and screaming. "Fine but get out of their if you cant kill it, if I see anything go wrong Im coming back" I said and sprinted towards the others before the two could say anything.

I raced out of the gardens and quickly began did a full-tilt sprint going as fast as I could. I felt the keyblade pop back in my hand as I ran and went faster.

"Almost their, just a few more feet" I grunted and turned a corner seeing Steel and Brigid fighting the guardian.

"Whoa... this isn't anything like what Faust said, its a big ass cat" I muttered to myself in awe. The guardian reeled back after Steel and Brigid were backing off to catch their breath and gave out a strange but strong roar.

It blew the two back and caused them to crash into the wall unconscious. I saw the others rushing over to them to make sure they were okay, but the guardian went to roar again.

"NO!" I screamed and ran towards them. I knew I wasn't fast enough, but I had to at least try to and make it, I had to save everyone. "DONT TOUCH THEM!!!" As soon as those words left my mouth I felt a sudden surge of energy pump through me and in a second I had tackled the beast against the wall.

It howled at the pain and as did I cause I think I broke my arm. I heared a crack from the wall we crashed into and soon me and the guardian fell out of the castle. The wall we broke through lead off the tall mountain which we were now currently falling off of. I could hear the other's screaming my name as I fell with the beast to our deaths, if Im being honest with myself.

"I could've played this out better" I said and soon I heared a loud splash, then silence, then...darkness. 'Way better'

Author's Note

What a good way to come back, on a cliffhanger. I'll admit it was a long time coming but I hope you enjoyed the chapter, I'll be honest this gave me a lot more ideas for this story so stay tuned.

Anyways, thanks for reading
Stay frosty
