Somewhere In The Kings Realm, P. O. V- Lux

I heared the dripping of smalk droplets hit the floor, I couldn't move my left arm and my whole body burned if I tried to move. I groaned slowly but surely sitting up, surrounded by trees and right next to a river.

"Where am I?" I questioned then hissed unconsciously spinning around to fast. I fell back to the ground holding my right arm and leg which are both swollen to hell. "What happened to me is a better question" I groaned and took short breathes noticing that it was hard to breathe.

Not having a choice right now instead wait to be eaten. I took a slow and long deep breath before using my good arm and legs to pry myself off of the floor. The pain itself was like hundreds of daggers piercing me all at once.

A grueling scream of agony escaped from my lips and it echoed through the trees. I gave heavy grunts as I strained to my feet, thankfully my efforts paid off and I was now standing again. From something I grown used to day in and day out, I have never worked that hard in my whole life.

"Fu... Fuck'n hell *pant* *pant*.... I have to get back home" I choked up and started wobbling towards the trees to my right but fell face first on the ground after two steps. "Everything... hurts" I groaned.

I tried to ask Sora or Jason for help but I don't think they can hear me. I laid on the ground for a long time, I needed help but I already knew that wasn't happening. I mustered up enough strength to flip on my back and it kinda made the pain lessen.

"Injured, lost and slightly terrified... I guess I die here" I said to myself. "Damn it... so much to do, very little time I guess" I said and sighed a little.

The sky look gray and I heared the rumbling of thunder. Wouldn't be long till it starts raining, not a decent way to go out. I just laid their and rested my body for awhile. Until I felt something... fuzzy.

I looked to my right hand and saw what looked like a tail next to it. I followed it back to the source and when I reached its end, I looked up only to see the guardian sitting just a few feet from me. It didnt even look like he took any damage from the fall.

"Heeeeeey buuuud.... no hard feelings about tackling you off a mountain right?" I asked the overgrown cat thing and it just stared down at me. I nervously chuckled then almost screamed a bit when he lowered his head.

He stopped inches from my face and started sniffing me. I began thinking about the worst possible outcome, like getting eatin alive or used as a chew toy then tossed around like a rag doll. The guardian soon reeled back to its original hight and I sighed in relief knowing Im not gonna be eatin yet.

"Still unfair that I got hurt... and you didn't" I muttered out making it cock its head a little. "Dont suppose you know how to get outta here?" I asked him and chuckled to myself knowing how silly it was. "Of course you dont, plus, Im sure you don't wanna save me either so... guess we're both stuck here" I said laughing a little.

The guardian looked down at me and stared at me, I looked back it and we both stayed still for a minute. The guardian suddenly sneezed throwing me into a laughing fit, it hurt to laugh but this big cat made it hard not to laugh.

"Geez you're no harm to anyone, are ya bud... just protecting yourself... or someone" I mumbled and came a realization. "Are you... are King Jonathan's companion?" I asked him and he licked me. "Ugh... ok, good to know... Im sorry for messing up his grave, but the people you attacked... two of them were his daughter's" I explained to the guardian and almost instantly he became sad. "But they're ok now Bud, promise" I assured him.

"But me on the other hand bud, not lookin to good at the moment" I choked out, spitting up some blood. "Please, help me put here bud..." I trailed off seeing my vision get tinier and then darkness.

The guardian purred slight and picked me up with his teeth gently, he placed me on his back and wrapped his tail around me as to not fall off. Once that was done, he took off north from the castle.

Hours Later, inside an old temple

I felt a rush of warmth flow through my body. Even from my broken arm, but, it felt like it only came from my left side only. I found it strange really, though I began feeling the pain from the swelling lessen so I shouldn't complain.

"Are you are comfortable?" I heared a woman ask me and I hummed.

"I am, thank you for asking.... wait" I paused for a moment and opened my eyes and took notice of the wooden ceiling. "What the hell?" I muttered.

"Is your arm feeling any pain?" I was asked again, I shifted my head to my left and saw the guardian outside sleeping, then I looked left and saw a the one asking me questions. "If you dont answer I wont know if the spell is working" the woman asked.

It was a feiry red dragoness woman, her body was hourglass and cut to what I believe was perfection. She didnt look that tall but she reached my height just barely, she had pur white spikes coming out the top of her head and down to her tail, dark purple eyes that looked amazing, but what really stick out was the short white hair she had on her head. Its rare for a dragon or a dragoness to have hair on their heads, but she look kinda cute with it, and her facial features didnt give a big snout like the other dragons it was like spikes, only more girly.

"I-uh... Im doing... fine" I said trying not to stutter. It was hard not to stare at her, she was super pretty. Though that flew out of my head when I looked down and saw both of us naked in the middle of the floor on a futon mattress.

"Are you feeling sick?" The woman asked feeling my head. "Ive never seen a human become this red before" she said.

"Yeah, Im fine, totally cool!" I said my voice crackin from embarrassment. "You uh... do know your naked right?" I asked now focusing my gaze at the ceiling.

"I do, whats the matter, never seen a pair of these before?" The dragoness teased squeezing my arm lightly with her rather large breasts. "So innocent for a boy your age"

"I-I-I-I am not a boy, I-I'll have you know that I am a man!" I exclaimed trying not to look at her boobs, or get excited. "Can you tell me why Im naked?" I asked.

"Dragons have pretty intense body heat than can be controlled and help get rid of any pain that is caused to them, its why we're so durable, and if we use our heat with someone else then it'll have the same effect" She explained.

"That still doesn't answer why Im naked" I said and she gives a little and gave me a sultry look.

"Ive heared you humans are... well endowed in certain areas" She purred and I jumped slightly feeling her tail on my thigh. If I wasn't red now, Im pretty sure all my blood is making that happen. "Hahaha! Oh you are so fun to tease, don't worry, I wont take your cherry... yet"

"Ok, can you please stop teasing me my face is on fire over here" I said and she laughed again.

"Fine, the names Breaker by the way" Breaker said.

"Lux... kinda weird that you have what sounds like a guys name, how bout I call you Brie?" I asked.

"Do that and you go off the side of the mountain" Breaker said calmly and I nervously chuckled.

"Then what should I call you for short?" I suggested and Breaker thought it over for a second

"Call me Bee" Breaker suggested.

"Bee, like the insect?" I asked and she nodded. "But why would-" I stopped when I caught a certain sent coming from the dragoness. "Is that... you smell just like-"

"Honey, yeah I've been told" Bee said and looked down to my arm. The swelling itself has gone away, but a large bruise lingered on my arm. "Ok so your arm should be fine now and your leg as well, you'll feel some pain but that is normal" Bee informed me and stood up giving me a view of her naked body. "That, is also normal" she winked and I quickly sat up covering my erection.

"Sorry" I apologized and she rubbed my cheek with her tail.

"Its a perfectly understandable reaction after seeing a beautiful woman, suprised you didnt get one earlier" Bee admitted and walked over to a closet near the end of the wall. She opened it and tossed me baggy light brown pants that hugged my ankles, a black cloth belt and black shoes with white on the bottom. "Get dressed please, I'd like to atleast show you around the place since you're going to be here for a while" Bee said and I was left confused but did as I was told and put on what I was givin.

We walked around the small temple which kinda resembles an old Japanese place, it was kinda nice seeing this design for some reason. As Bee began showing me the essentials of where I am going to be staying along with where Im going to be bathing myself, washing and drying my clothes, and where the bathroom was.

"Thats basically everything, if you dont count the courtyard and Leo's den" Bee said shoving her thumb towards the guardian who picked up his head and chirped.

"What is he?" I asked her.

".... I dont know" Bee answered and walked off again. "And I dont mind you staring at my ass, just do it subtly Lux" Bee teased and I blushed once more.

"Was it that obvious?" I asked and she nodded. "Sorry, usually Im more composed than this... well actually I was a pretty big pervert, still am actually" I admitted and Bee just giggled.

"That makes two of us Lux, anyways, welcome to your new home for a while" Bee annouced again waving her hand dismissively.

"Why do you keep saying that, Im sure my friends and my siblings will search for me" I said following her again, Bee however just shrugged and yawned.

"I thought that as well when I came here, then minutes turn to day and suddenly you find out that you've been here for thousands of years and-"

"THOUSANDS OF YEARS!?!?!?!" I screamed and Bee slapped a hand over my mouth.

"Yes handsome, Thousands of years... time works differently here, but your body ages slower than normal" Bee said. "Every day that passes is 1 year in here, but its just a simple day outside this realm... back home.... *ahem* you will still continue to grow but its highly unlikely you will show any signs of it until you are about 20,000 years old , for some reason being 20 years old is the sweet spot for this place" Bee finished and leaned against the wall to the right of us.

I stayed still, unable to fully register what Bee had just said, it hurt my brain just trying to wrap the idea of a world with a time hundreds of times faster than normal. It was incomprehensible, but Im living it right now, and its very real. Pain never lies.

"Lux... look... I understand what you're feeling right now, you're confused and scared because this shouldnt be real... but it is" Bee said standing right infront of me again. She tapped my cheek to snap me out of my daze. "I was in your shoes when I found out that time was different in this place... I only had Leo to keep me company for most of my life... and now, I got you"

"Its just so... unreal" I said breathlessly and Bee hugged me, I couldnt help but return the gesture. "You must've been... so alone"

"I was, but now I got someone to talk to after waiting thousands of years" Bee said with a sigh of relief. "Feels good seeing someone"

"I bet... can you stop making me touch your ass" I asked as the dragoness placed my hands on her rather soft rear. She giggled and let go of my hands.

"Sorry, its also been awhile since I had some action" Bee admitted and I chuckled. "I wasn't joking about that cherry Lux, its mine now" Bee whispered in my ear and I became instantly red.

"W-W-Well I-I-I dont know if we should Bee considering that Im 15 and your real age is probably 20 or 25, most people would think that would be taboo considering the age gap and-" I was cut off from my rambling by the dragoness' laughing and pulling away from me.

"You are gonna be a treat Lux, I just have to wait 3 more days and your body will be mine.... pffft hahaha, dont worry I was only joking so dont get all worried okay" Bee said still laughing. "C'mon lets get something to eat, hope you like fish" she finished and resumed her walking.

I sighed and began following her through the temple but I quickly caught something out the corner of my eye, I turned to see a beautiful katana with a dark red blade and dragon spikes on the back of the blade, the handel was wrapped in an old violet colored cloth covering what looked like dark crimson scales.

"Not a bad blade huh?" Bee said breaking me out of my trance, I looked to her and saw a faint frown on her face but was almost completely hidden by the smile. "It was the last thing my father left for me, I maintain that blade everday since the day I came here... its the only thing I have left to remember my home" she said and sighed.

"It's beautiful Bee... your father must've been quite the picky shopper when it comes to blades like these" I said and she chuckled slightly bringing out a real smile.

"You have no idea, it took him two days to figure out wht kinda blade I should weild, had that custom made to fit the requirements" Bee said. "Alright, enough starin its time to get ta work" She exclaimed and we began walking again. It wasnt long before we came across a stream that was filled with fish swimming through at a constant speed. Bee was fully clothed now save for her upper body which was still exposed, she handed me a wooden spear and started her own little hunt.

"The key to this is patience Lux, so if you mess up a few times its fine" Bee said as she caught two of them. I looked around the stream trying to find a straggler, I looked for a second and I threw my spear at a straggler coming up. I pulled it out and tossed it on a blanket Bee brought. "Not bad Lux, keep that up and we'll be eating good tonight.

"Alright, I'm on it" I said with determination and continued catching fish.

Hours later

"Wow Lux, we have enough fish to feed us and Leo" Bee said ad she hefted another bag on to my shoulder. I was now carrying two bags full of fish that I caught after about three hours.

"Well, now we're stocked for a while and leo gets a nice meal" I said and began making my way towards the temple. "Lets head back, Im starving and these fish aint gonna eat themselves" I said and Bee quickly caught up to me.

"So strong, to much for a meer lady such as myself" Bee joked and took one of the bags. "Im not weak lux, Ive been doing this for a long time"

"I know, just being nice is all" I said and we continued walking till we reached the temple and set the fish down at the kitchen.

"Alright, Ill get cooking and you will feed Leo" Bee stated and handed me six fishes. I took them and went towards were Leo was and he instantly popped his head up seeing said fish.

"Alright feedin time, eat up bud" I said as I tossed him a fish, he quickly caught it and eat it without even chewing it. "Fast eater huh, well if it keeps you fed then who am I to judge" I muttered and continued feeding him.

Once he was done eating I washed my hands and went to check on Bee. It was strange that in a few hours I had already become accustom to this world, maybe it wont be so bad living here for awhile.

"How's everything going in here Bee?" I asked and smelt something amazing. I followed the smell and it lead to a big iron pot filled to the brim with soup, it looked delicious. Next to the soup was spiced rice next to a grilled fish, everything looked so good I think I was drooling. "Whooooaaa"

"You like, it was a little thing I picked up when I was alone for many years" Bee said as she walked in the kitchen with a jug of water. "Well, what are you just sotting their for go ahead and dig in" she said and I didn't waste anymore time and quickly dug into the food.

"This is the best thing I've ever tasted... well its the only thing that I've ever tasted that wasnt vegetables or fruit" I admitted and continued stuffing my face. Bee was smiling and giggling as she watched me enjoy the food, she soon joined me and we started to talk about this place and what she's been doing here for so many years.

Apparently, before she came to this realm, Bee was training with her father in her homeland to become a guard for the king and princess. She said she had mastered every weapon she had held once she was brought here, hence why she had the katana.

I told her that I was a keyblade weilder, had to explain that for a bit and even showed her the keyblade itself. She was so intrigued by the weapon that she wanted to see how tough it was, after dinner she decided to test it.

It survived everything, from hammering to slicing. The keyblade was what I'd call indestructible, but Bee thought differently.

"It'll break one day, but I guess for now its as good as any blade" She said and sheathed her sword. "Though, I could train you more properly on how to handle a blade if you like"

"That would be helpful, sure why not" I said and she smiled happily. "When do we start?" I asked pitting my keyblade away.

"Tomorrow morning, just so you know, Im not gonna go easy on you just because you look cute" Bee said geeting inches from my face. "So be sure to keep up, and not scratch up that face to mich handsome"

"I-uh... Ok" I said unable to actually answer, I was blishing to heavily and my mind was going 100 miles per second. "Will do- *ahem*- will do Bee"

"Thats Master Bee luxy" Bee corrected and back away. "Get some rest, your gonna need it... oh, and skip breakfast or... you'll throw up" She warned and walked back inside.

I sighed and felt a cold chill run up my spine, so I decided to heed her advice. I began making my way towards my room and stripped of my pants and shoes, I side as I laid down on the futon and closed my eyes.

'Useless!'

'Mistake!'

'Arrogant brat!

'Why are you still alive you wanna be human!'

I sat up in a cold sweat, gasping and cluching my head as the voices echo through my mind. I tried breathing normaly and make the sweat go away, but nothing was working.

'Waste of space, it's better that your gone from everyone's life. You'll just ruin it, like you did to yourself'

"Shut up... get outta my head" I whimpered and cluched my head tightly. It was excruciating listing to the voices, like someone was constantly hitting my head with a brick. "Im not... just a waste... of space!"

'You deny it but you know its true'

"Shut up!" I yelled and suddenly felt something warm grip my arm and instantly the pain vanished. I looked to what was touching me, and next to me was a sleeping dragoness. I slowly put my hands down and gripped Bee's hand, somehow feeling a whole lot safer just holding it.

"Thank you Bee" I said and laid back down. A small calming wave washed over me and I fell back to sleep in seconds.

Dawn

"Wake up lazy bones!" Bee shouted and pinched me till I woke up. "C'mon its time for your training, so wash up and lets get to work!"

"*Yawn* alright, lets do this" I said, I got up and quickly did my morning routine and put on my only pair of pants. I walked outside to were Bee had went and I saw her holding two wooden swords in her hands, one was black and the other was white. "So, what do we do first?" I asked and was tossed the black sword.

"We fight, see where you're at in your current state then use what you do know and apply it with the training I have cooked up for you" Bee explained and spread her legs shoulder with apart and held the wooden blade eye level to her. "Enough talk, lets fight" she finished and in a second I felt a sharp pain hit me and I flew back a few feet, I coughed up some warm spit and gasped a few times trying to get my breathing in order.

I got to my knees and looked towards were bee was and saw her with a trail of dust coming off her feet. I stared wide eye and looked to my stomach only to see a bruise start to form. "Holy shit" I muttered.

"You might wanna dodge" Bee whispered to me and I was barely on time to block her attack. It still sent me flying and my hands went numb from the shock, I recovered in the air but was kicked on my right side in mid-air then was grabbed by my arm and thrown to the ground. I lost grip of my sword as I hit the ground and I saw Bee shooting right towards me, her sword aiming right for my head.

I covered my face hoping to block it, but all I heared was a crack right next to me. I uncovered my face and turned to see the wooden sword embedded deep into the ground just inches from my face. To say I was scared was an understatement, I was terrified beyond belief which isn't an easy mind you.

"What... what just.... happened?" I questioned lookin at the sky now. "I didn't even have a chance to move"

"Rule number one, dont underestimate your opponent. The person you may be facing might look weak and fragile or big and slow, but that doesn't mean they cant gake advantage of that. The weak and fragile probably wont hurt you as much, but they might be quick and have faster reflexes so it'll hinder your brute strength and power useless if you can even touch them. For the big and slow, they might not have speed but they have power and will most likely be stronger than you, thats why you have to plan on how to take him or her down" Bee said pulling the sword out of the ground. "Fighting isn't just about flailing fists or swords around, its an art that can be deadly if used correctly"

"I... I see" I said soaking in all the information, I sat up and started remembering what bellator had taught Steel. "Bee... can we spar again?" I asked and she looked at me with a blank face, I stood up and walked to the wooden sword and picked it up. "I want to learn how to use my strength, speed, power and magic properties... will you help me?" I asked and she smiled.

"I said I would train you didnt I?" She said. "Let's run this again, this time don't let your guard down, keep your eyes on me and if you see me vanish constantly keep your head on a swivel. Find the enemie as fast as possible, and when you see an opening thats when you break their guard and strike" Bee instructed and I nodded, I got in my stance as did she. "You ready?"

"Yes" I said.

"And... go!" She yelled and we both charged at eachother. As soon as we got ckose to eachother, Bee went for a upward slash to I quickly and just barely dodged then sent my own upward slash. She blocked it with nothing but one arm, I put everything into that swing and she blocked it like it wasn't shit!

I felt more weight as the clash continued and I quickly realized what that meant and I backed away. I felt a sweat come down my face, then suddenly a soft but noticeable coldness went past my face and I turned in time to block Bee's attack.

"Nice, you're already learning" Bee praised slightly and we began trading blows, each one blocking the other. I could barely my hands as the vibration rushed to them, even the sword was beginning to break. We end the back and forth with our own hard swings aiming for our side.

I got lucky and landed my hit, and I put everything in that swing. When I looked at Bee's face, my whole face went from happy to fear when I saw her glaring at me with a death glare and then... I felt the same amount of pain the glare would've gave off.

"Ooooh fu-" I was cut off by the strike launching me through the building and tumbling through trees until I landed in the lake just a few yards away from the temple. I floated in the water for a while trying to let the water sooth the pain burning my side. "My everything hurts"

"I am so sorry!" I heared the dragoness call out and I heared a splash before being dragged back to shore. "I didn't mean to get that angry, I tried holding back but I-"

"Bee *wheez* Im ok, a little out of breath but Im good" I said coughing a little. "I have to admit, Im not use to having someone else stronger than me so... this will be kinda fun" I said sitting up and chuckling.

"Well you did pretty good actually, it's nice to have someone to train under my style" Bee said sitting down with me. "You know this is a good place to teach you how to stay calm"

"Yeah, I got that vibe as well I could come here to meditate like how my brother did" I said to which Bee agreed with. "Well I guess we should train some more"

"You dont wanna take a break?" Bee asked and I got up.

"Nah, cause I need to get stronger if wanna stand a chance against you" I said and saw ny broke wooden sword drifting in the water before it sunk. "Gonna need more of those"

"I'll handle, but for now, how about I show some exercises to get you more muscle" Bee said poking my stomach. "It wont make you have super big muscle but more of a ripped and toned type of body, so it'll be easier to move and not struggle with huge muscles in the way"

"That sounds good, let's get started" I said and we both went up the pathway, I felt the pain on my side hurt immensely and it was not letting up anytime soon. We reached the top and Bee walked me over to the clearing in the middle of the temple.

"Ok Lux, I want you to give me 100 push-ups, sit ups, and squats" Bee instructed.

"Seems kinda easy dont you think?" I asked and she shrugged.

"Gotta start you somewhere, unless you want me to add more" She said and I sighed before getting down and doing the push-ups. "Dont worry Lux, it will get much harder but we need you to get used to the heat" Bee said with a grin.

"But It's not that hot out here-hey! What are you doing?!" I asked as the Dragoness sat on my back. It made coming back up even harder since she weighed more than she looked, it was like two ton weights on my back. I then felt my body continously grow hotter, it was excruciating and my body ache even faster. "Jesus H Christ what the hell are you doing?!"

"Im heating up your body duh, if you want to get stronger we have to put you at your weakest and build that up till this heat becomes natural" Bee explained. "Also I wanna see what its like to be ontop before we get to the bad thing" she giggled seeing my red face.

"This... is... the worst... pain" I panted out Bee laughed.

"Were not even close rookie, c'mon 30 more to go then you still got sit ups and squats" Bee ordered and I continued until I was done then collapsed. She got off and rolled me on my back. "No breaks, c'mon look alive Lux"

"Yes ma'am" I said and got in a sit up position, I thought she was going to hold my feet, but she placed one foot on my feet and one foot on my chest.

"If my foot doesnt go above your knees, you start all over again" Bee said and I looked at her in shock. "Go" she plainly said and I struggled to even get the first one, it was pain to get the others. Eventually I did them all and my whole body was aching at this point, but I still had to do my squats.

I stood up with the help of Bee and she jumped on my shoulders. I didn't even ask knowing what she gonna do so I just started my squats. And man was it torture, my legs felt like they were on fire everytime I went down and my shoulders were killing me.

The heat she gave off was something that Im sure only dragons will get used to. It felt like I entered hell, but even with all of that I finished and collapsed on the floor.

"'Kinda easy' Huh" Bee mocked and I groaned in exhaustion. She smirked and hefted me up, I felt sore in places I didn't know I could be sore in. "How was the basic work out Lux?"

"Hell"

"Good cause that will be a daily thing, you want to get stronger dont you?" Bee asked ans I nodded. "Then you're gonna have to live in hell for a while"

"My body hurts" I mumbled feeling myself drift off into slumber.

"I know, but Im sure you'll get used to it, hell we're aren't even in the advanced stuff yet" Bee said but I was already asleep. "*sigh* Ok, I'll let you sleep but more training tomorrow" bee said and she dragged me inside.

( 4 Months later)

"C'mon Bee you even trying?" I taunted the dragoness who rolled her eyes. We were using the wooden swords again and after three months I was able to keep up with Bee. I still need more training, but I believe Im getting better each day.

"Say that when you actually beat me Luxy" Bee said and swung again. We continued with the back an forth for sometime, it was a great way to learn her technique and fight someone stronger than you. "If you beat me, I might let you have a kiss"

"W-What?" I asked letting my guard down and Bee instantly laid me out. I sighed in frustration and gave the woman a little glare to which she giggled at. "You do that every time, when will you stop the teasing?" I asked.

"When you stop falling for it handsome, now lets start again and remember to focus" Bee instructed pulling me up to my feet and handing me the sword again.

"Yes ma'am" I chuckled and got in my stance. I actually changed slightly, my legs were still spread out wide but I copied Bee's stance a bit and had the weapon come to eye level and my elbows making an upside down right angle. "Im ready"

"Okay then, here I come" Bee warned before we both went at it again. I'll be honest, the first few weeks of training was absolute hell. I wanted to quite after three days, but I pushed myself to keep at it and I made it through.

Now I actually look forward to the training, the heat exercises were still a bit hard, but Im started to get use to them.

'I wonder how Steel and the others are doing' I thought for a moment as I grinded with Bee. She pushed off and went for a spin kick, I caught it quickly and blocked a swing just as fast.

"You are getting better Luxy, and stronger I might add" Bee praised. "Alright, I think thats enough training for today" she said and we both lowered our guards and sat on the floor.

"Man, I still cant get over how strong you are Bee" I said and made the girl blush slightly.

"I can say the sane to you too Lux, guess that exercise routine is paying off" She said and poked my chest making a solid tap. "Nice~" she purred.

"Thanks Bee, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be like this and I would've gotten a lot weaker just doing nothing" I thanked and Bee smiled. "Well, lets head inside and see who gets the bath first" I said getting up and I walked towards the temple.

"Hold up" Bee called out and grabbed my arm. She pulled me next and pecked my cheek. "Thats for a good job today"

I turned as red as an apple when did that and I think I felt steam coming off me. I tried saying something but only a mess of words jumbled out. Bee giggled and walked into the temple.

"*Sigh* Everytime" I sighed. "I miss Steel and Brigid, I miss Twilight and Luna... I hate to say it but I kinda miss the others as well" I said slumping to the ground. "I mostly miss Sora and Jason, felt like we formed a bond over the months we trained"

"Lux, you coming?" I heared Bee call but I just stayed silent. She saw me sitting down and staring off into space. It was a knowing look she was familiar with. "Thinking about your friends?" She asked walking up to me.

"Yeah... I wonder if they miss me as well" I said. "The sad part is, Im starting to forget what they sound like, what some of them look like... and their names" I explained making the dragoness frown, she crouched down and hugged me a little.

"Well Lux you always got me, and Im not going anywhere" Bee assured me and helped me up. "C'mon lets go wash up, we need ta get cleaned or were gonna smell like Leo"

When she said that the beast picked up his head and grumbled. We laughed a little and headed inside.

We walked through the halls going over what were gonna go over tomorrow. It was going fine, until I felt a prick on my neck and I suddenly felt dizzy. I stopped in my tracks and held the wall trying to keep myself centered.

My hearing had muffled and my senses started going numb, one by one. I was terrified honestly, I looked to where Bee was but all I saw was a blur. Then I passed out.

???

I heared the sounds of muffled rain and heavy breathing. I couldn't move but I could feel someone dragging me through the mud causing it to scrape ainst my skin, whatever was happing this person was in a hurry.

"L... him...... Lux!" I heared my name and I opened my eyes slightly, seeing the dark muddy ground and the tattered pants on my legs. I looked around more only to see strange creatures, almost as tall as the trees, holding jagged katana's and broken armor.

I looked more and saw an unconscious Bee over one of the giants shoulders. I then felt my body get picked up and I was tossed inside of some cage, Bee was tossed inside another. The giants converse for a bit, it looked like they were trying to figure out what to do with us, when they were distracted I finally had the strength to move but only slight. I sat and stumbled to my feet, and limped my way towards one end of the cage and looked around.

We seemed to be in a camp, it was only a handful of giants from what I can tell. There were 5 tents, and it seemed it held atleast two of the giants, a weapons rack was near a fire place in the middle along with some barrels of what was possibly food.

"Bee" I said weakly turning my gave across from me, she looked at me in a weak state and tried to get up but failed. I slowly started getting my strength back, but it wasn't enough to break out and kill these bastards, I needed more time. "I need to be patient, these dumbass' wont do anything to Bee from what I can tell, her cell has a bed and an actual floor... I got the shitty one, so they value women more than themselves"

I continued making my observations in silent until I saw one of the giants walk towards my cell. Damn was this fucker ugly, grey wrinkly skin, black teeth missing some of the as well, and smelt like someone pissed on dog shit then set it on fire. He opened the cage and grabbed me by the legs, he dragged me put and tossed me in the middle of their little group circle.

"Damn you are an ugly bunch, what happen? Momma fuck your brother then you" I said chuckling a little. I was silenced with the back end of their blades, it was blunt but it still tore up my arms and back, I cried out in pain until they stopped and I could feel my knee's buckling. "Fu... Fuckin hell... cant take... a joke, you inbred fucks?" I mouthed off and spat in one of their faces, "Five against one, buncha fuckin cowards!" I screamed at them.

I was answered with a slash to the back, I couldn't muster a cry only a loud gasp. I fell to my knee's finally, feeling the burning sting on my back, but luckily I felt worse and I noticed my strength was coming back.

'Just have'ta keep stalling, I can heal myself later, right now I have to get Bee outta here' I thought, I stomped on the ground and got back on my feet much to the giants suprise and annoyance. "You swing like a bitch, Ive felt worse you piece of shit... gimmie a sword I'll show ya how to use it" I growled hidding the pain. I was slashed twice across the chest and back, then hit in the face with the end of the katana.

"Lux?" Bee mumbled finally getting some of her strength back, she stood up and wobbled to where she heared me. She looked and gasped in horror seeing my muddy and bloodied body.

'A little more' I thought once, the pain was making it harder to stand but I gritted my teeth and pushed passed it. "Fuck... now I feel a slight tickle" I said laughing heartedly.

Bee watched on as I continued to insult and get beatin senseless infront of her. She felt a sudden wave of anger and little by little, her strength was coming back to her. With every swinf and cut, was another ounce of power she got back and the fire in her eye grew more fierce.

One of the giants picked me up and threw me full force against Bee's cage making her jump back. She went to help me but the giant dragged me away and slammed my body on the floor.

"Lux!" Bee screamed and I coughed up some blood. "Do something Lux!"

"Almost done!" I yelled and I finally felt my full strength come back to me. The giant raised his sword and brought it down.

A loud clang rang out in the heavy rainstorm, I held my keyblade out blocking the jagged katana. I breathed heavily, the cold moost air made it harder but manageable.

"Im gonna rip your heart out" I growled and suddenly swunf right breaking the blade. I grabbed the broken peice then speared it directly into the giants head, it fell to the ground with a hard thud which made the other giants roar with anger. One after another I blocked and dodged all their swings and stabs, all the training with Bee payed off cause I felt as light as a feather.

I rushed to one of the giants and gave it a hard elbow stunning it then I jumped up high and spun down with my keyblade aiming for its head. Once it struck, the head itself split open and I kicked off the dead giant and as I did I felt a tingle on my hand and I remembered this feeling. I flipped around and reached out to the sword on the ground and enveloped it with a red aura, I picked up the giant blade and speared it through another giant then sliced upwards cutting it in half.

I laughed slightly and aimed for the other three Giants, I threw the blade to the on my right to which he blicked but couldnt move in time for me to smash down ontop him going straight through his stomach, covering me in blood then I parried another attack. I swung again this time for the giants knees, I hit them dead in the middle causing his knees to bend backwards and he fell to the ground. Once he fell I picked up his sword and shoved it through the side of his chest getting his heart in the process.

Once that was done I turned to see the last Giant being dealt with by Bee, who was beating this fat bastard to a bloody pulp. Blood covered us both and once Bee was done beating that giant to death we sat in the middle of the dead bodies and panted heavily.

"Had no idea these were a thing here" I said.

"I know, I've never seen them before... we might've accidentally killed a new species" Bee said and I laughed.

"Well they should've picked their targets better huh" I said and laughed even more. Bee soon joined in and we both found ourselves laughing till our stomachs hurt. "Alright... alright lets head on back to the temple, I need a bath after this"

"Same... hey Lux" Bee said and I humed. "Do you think, if your friends ever find you... I could come with y'all?" Bee asked and I chuckled.

"Of course Bee, you're my bestfriend and I would never leave you here I promise" I said making the dragoness smile and lean on me. I blushed a little and we sat their till we felt ourselves fully get our strength back. We got up and began the walk back to the Temple.

It was a silent walk back, we were both tired and weak. I still ignored the pain inflicted on my body and continued moving, the rain still poured down on us and I wish I could give something to Bee so she wouldn't get wet anymore. Sadly I only had my tattered pants.

"Hey Bee, you think Leo's okay?" I asked her and she nodded.

"Before we got captured, I told him him to flee and only come back when everyone was gone" Bee said and I nodded, happy that he got to safety. "Few more miles then a nice bath, also we gotta dress those wounds"

"Yeah I know, but lets get cleaned first huh" I said and she nodded. After a couple of minutes of walking, we made it back to the temple. We made a b-line towards the bath and we were now in a hot bath. It both relaxed and stung us, this was a common thing to share a bath together. "How are your wounds Bee?" I asked.

"Mine are just some scratched and a bump on the head, you on the other hand, Im worried about" Bee said with worry, the bath was pretty big as to not get a look at one anothers areas. Bee threw that to the wind and drifted towards me to check my body. "Turn, I wanna see the damage" she ordered and I followed.

I turned and heard a small gasp, I felt her hand gently rub close to the cuts. From what I can feel, they were pretty deep and Bee noticed them as well. I suddenly felt something soft press against my back, avoiding the cuts with ease, I saw Bee's arm's wrap around me.

"You an idiot" she said.

"I know" I said, smiling slightly.

"Always have to play hero huh?" She asked and I humed.

"You were in trouble, I needed time to get some strength back, a little damage is nothing" I said then felt her bite my ear hard. "I need that you know!"

"And you need the rest of you as well you know" She shot back making me flinch a little. "I knew the second I met you you'd get injured like no tomorrow... I didn't realize you were going to be so stubborn as well"

"Blame my father" I retorted and she giggled. "Im sorry for making feel like you have to worry, but I promise I am a whole lot tougher than you think"

"Just promise you wont do anything without thinking about it" Bee said.

"Cant do that Bee" I answered.

"Why not!?" She demanded and I shrugged.

"Sometimes thinking is a waste of time, thinking about a situation can cause the victim to get hurt or killed durning that time.... rather than think, I act" I said.

"That's a stupid logic to live by" Bee said and I snorted softly. "But, I guess I cant stop you from what you were made for"

"Yup... now then, lets finish up here and head to bed early" I said getting a nod.

Midnight, Lux's room

I was quietly sleeping next to Bee after she had helped dress my wounds. Leo was next to my room sleeping and making sure to keep an ear out for anymore kidnappers.

As we slept, the wind blew against the old temple causing it to creak and move slightly. I suddenly opened my eyes getting a feeling as if someone was coming.

I got out of Bee's hold and summoned my keyblade... then I waited. The wind still blew against the temple more, making the creaks longer and louder. But I could faintly hear... footsteps?

I suddenly felt my body get yanked off the ground and I was tossed through the wall. I skidded across the hard floor, ripping my bandages a bit, but I stopped myself after a second or two. I got to my feet and held out my keyblade in my stance, I saw 6- no 9 people lande down infront of me.

I could only see their bodies and from their figures, their was only two females. I did realize that if they can barely see me like me, then I could use it to my advantage by using the shaded areas. As we were about to start our fight I heard Leo roar and land infront of me growling at the shadows.

"Good boy, now then lets start" I said and rushed forward sprinting towards the one in the middle. I was cut off by the two smaller ones, one slammed a hammer down infront of me and the other used machetes to take a few shot. Luckily I was fast then the two and dodged the attacks with ease then as the machete man swung again I ducked under it and threw a hard jab to his gut then spun around another attack and elbowed him in the face, I threw some more jabs landing dead in the middle of his face then I spun kicked him to floor, unconscious.

I didn't have time to gloat because the hammer guy was already on my ass and swun his hammer sideways with incredible speed and power. I ducked down dodging it then swung my keyblade against his side as hards I could and sent a barrage of attacks, hitting him all over. He dropped his hammer and fell to his knees, it looked like he looked up to me but I ended that thought with a hard left across his face, knocking him out.

"C'mon you aren't even giving me a challenge!" I heard Bee shout and the sounds of blades clashing rang.

"Gotta get to Bee" I muttered and tried to follow where the sound were. "I wish it was brighter, shit I need to go help Bee before something happens"

"Might wanna worry about yourself than your friend" I heared and spun around just in time to prairie his attack. He went for another but I countered it by swinging my keyblade against his weapon and destroyed it, then I sweeped under feet making him fall but just as he left the ground, I grabbed his face a slammed it down.

I suddenly felt a sharp knife cut against my cheek and I looked to see two more people were running at me. I ran towards them and as we met I slide under their attacks and began a back and forth with them. I blocked and dodged and attack with the keyblade and with my free hand I threw hards jabs at their abdomen and slam the keyblade against theirs legs throwing them off balance. They both suddenly felt their legs buckle under them and they both got a fist to face.

"Their you are" I heard Bee say to my right.

"You okay?" I asked.

"Im fine, those two were an easy match though they got a few hits I'll admit" She said and I felt her body for injuries. "Lux, you can grope me later... for now we have two more of these guys"

I stopped looking and turned to were the last two were, the one on the right was taller and looked like he had more muscle while the other was a few inches shorter with an alright build. I felt Bee's hand on my shoulder she went towards the one on the right, I went to the left.

"I'll say this once, take your pals and go home... if not, then... your funeral" Bee warned.

"We aint leaving until we know what we want" We heard and it kinda sounded familiar. I didn't have time to think about it because Bee was already fighting the guy on the left, I look dead straight and saw the figure walking at a steady pace then went off in a full blow sprint, he held out his weapon and went for a hit. I rolled out of the way and quickly blocked another attack, his moves were kinda sloppy and predictable, but I didn't let my guard down.

He jumped back slightly and went for a kick only to have me grab it and throw him to the ground. He got back up and flung his weapon here and their, I dodged and blocked these attacks then I grabbed his wrist and pulled him in for a knee to the gut then I headbutted him making him fall to the ground, dropping his weapon. I stomped on his hand so he would grab it then I kicked him across the face, knocking him out.

"Bee gets all the fun" I said and heard the dragoness struggling along with the last guy. I only saw their shadowy figures but I can tell they were both fighting with everything, Bee threw a punch to which the man dodged then swung his sword, but Bee spun around it and swung her katana cutting his arm then she kicked him across the chest sending him hack a few feet.

"You have some heavy hits lady, it's kinda ridiculous I must say" The man said and I felt the familiar vibe again. "But I think I've had enough of this, it was fun fighting you" he said and let out what sounded like a small roar before a gust of wind blew passed up. I barely saw it but luckily Bee did cause she blocked the mans fist before it hit her, unfortunately it blew her back against the wall and the man yanked off it then slammed her body against it hard enough for my to hear the cracks and to feel them.

He picked her up by the kneck tossing her up then kicking her against her chest, sending her across the temples yard. I rushed over to the dragoness and looked over her body.

"Lux... Im fine, just a few bruises really" Bee said and tried to get up but failed.

"Thankfully your injuries arent serious, but this guy is tougher than we thought" I said then felt a presence behind me, before I could turn I was kicked with tremendous force and sent across the yard.

"So, are you going to give us what we want or do I gotta make you?" The man asked Bee who glared at him in silence. "A womans glare, even in the dark I can still feel it burn" he said before reaching out and his sword flew into his hand, then he raised it. "I'll ask your friend when I'm finished with you... nighty night"

Time slowed down to the point where it looked like it stopped. I saw his blade slowly go down, heading towards Bee, I dont know when but I had started running towards the man. Then time resumed.

"DONT YOU FUCKIN TOUCH HER!!!" I roared and I felt a sudden rush of power fill me and I got that same feeling I had when I tackled Leo. I planted my feet on the ground and in a millisecond, I rammed the guy through the temple and sent him fly down the mountian just before he killed her.

"Bee are you okay?!" I asked, my tone filled with worry.

"Yeah, Im okay" Bee said and I just barely noticed that I was able to see her face. "When did you get blonde hair?" She asked and I pulled a strand down to see golden hair.

"I... I don't know" I answered, I picked her up in a bridal position and called leo over. Once he came over I laid Bee down infront of him and he did the same but wrapped his body around her. "Keep her safe Bud" I said and he purred.

"I... can't believe it" I heard behind me and I turned around to see the man infront of me. "Is... is it really you?" He asked but was answered with a hard gut punch then a spin kick.

"Shove it ass-whipe, before I kick your ass I wanna see who you are" I said and raised my hand forming a ball of light in my palm then I tossed it up letting it shine down on across the temple. I finally got a look at him, and I felt my heart sink. Steel pulled off his hood and showed his face to me, with a small smile on his face. "No..."

"Lux... we finally found you" Steel said and looked about ready to cry. "We've searched for months, trying to find you... and... here you are" He said in disbelief.

"Steel... I cant believe it's you" I said and we looked at eachother for a moment, then I growled. "YOU MOTHERFUCKER!" I screamed at him and he flinched. "HOW DARE YOU ATTACK ME AND MY FRIEND, I HAVE HALF A MIND TO BEAT YOU TO A GODDAMN BLOODY PULP THEN BASH YOUR FUCKIN HEAD AGAINST THE WALL TILL THEIRS NOTHING BUT BRAINS!!!" I screamed more and stomped my way towards him.

"I get that your angry-" I cut him off with a hard right sending him to the ground.

"Angry is the most calming thing I can be right now" I growled at him and picked him up by his throat then slammed his to the ground multiple times before kicking him with everything I had. "I changed my mind, Im gonna rip your throat out" I said and before I could kill Steel, I felt Bee hug me from behind.

"Calm down Lux, Im okay... you dont need to kill him, so please, calm down" Bee begged and it took a minute or two but I soon found myself calm enough to think rationally. "Thank you, and you mister asshole, who the hell do you think you are!?"

"Im *heavy cough* Im Steel Fox, Lux's older brother" Steel explained getting to his feet. "And who are you miss attacker?"

"Fuck you thats who, and your the one that attacked first!" Bee yelled at Steel.

"Okay, that was my bad... its just my friends and I have spent months searching for Lux and now we finally found him" Steel said and we heard groaning coming from the people me and Bee knocked out. "And speaking of friends, Im sure you remember the guys and the twins" he asked and I looked over to the beaten ponies only to come up to a blank.

"Uh... no, no I dont really remember them" I said and Steel raised an eyebrow. "I only remember you, Luna, Brigid and Celestia" I said leaving out Sora and Jason just to be safe.

"You're kidding right? You mean to tell me that you've forgotten about our friends?" Steel asked and for some reason I spat at the words.

"Friends huh, friends dont threaten eachother" I said making Steel flinch slightly. "I may not remember them, but I do remember that a group of your friends threatened me and one even beaten me till they were done releasing anger" I said and I heard one of the ponies groan slightly and walk over to Steel.

"Aye, we were kinda dicks ta Lux don't you think Steel?" The green pony said his voice sounding familiar. "We also kinda just disturbed their sleep, ah'll tell ya right now, ah'd be pissed off as well mate"

"Thank you Greenie" I said and got the two to look at me with suprise. "Greenie... I really you, you like to do drinking contests with Steel and was his first friend in equestria, you also bang Applejack for days" I said and Greenie was gonna defend his actions but he stopped and mumbled something while nodding.

"Lux not that I don't enjoy this 'reunion', I think I have to re-dress your wounds" Bee said and I looked down to see the bloodied and dirty bandages barely hanging on my body. "I also need a shirt" She whispered and I barely noticed the feeling of her bare chest against my back.

Apparently the two heard this and tried to discreetly sneak a peek but I levitated a rock and smacked them both with it. I snapped my fingers and summoned one of my shirt I made when I first got here and slid it on her.

"Okay, now I think we've had enough 'fun' for one night" I said. "I'd much ratger be back in bed, sleeping and healing from my injuries than almost murding my brother and his friends" I said and Steel came up next to me.

"Im sorry for causing you this much trouble, but let me make it up to you when we get back home... please" Steel begged and I pushed his hand off and thought for a few minutes. I sighed and turned to face him.

"Fine, but anywhere I go bee and leo come got it" I said and he nodded. "Okay... let's get our stuff Bee, we're finally free to leave"

Canterlot Castle, Medical Wing, 1:25 a.m.- P.O.V: Lux

"Alright mr. Tenebris the wounds should heal nicely after a few more days, now if you will can you please fill out this form so if another incident like this happens we will know who you are?" Nurse Feather weight asked handing me a clip board after bandaging up my wounds.

"Seriously?" I asked and gestured myself. "Im a legit different species"

"Sorry mr. Tenebris, rules are rules" Feather weight said and I grabbed the clip board. "It is nice to see you again Lux"

"Likewise feather, though, I wish it was on better terms like the other times" I said and handed back the clipboard. She looked it over to make sure I got everything and tilted her head when she got to age. "Something wrong?"

"Uhm... for age, you put on here that you're 380 years old" Feather said with a bit of shock.

"Yeah?" I questioned and she looked at me with awe. "I was stuck in a realm that turned a day into a year" I explained and she still just stared at me.

"........... Well uh, you look great for your age" Feather said chuckling and I snorted softly. "Anyways, I'll go tell the others they can come in, please wait here" she instructed and walked out the room. Not even a minute later I had to dodge a pink ball of energy aiming for me.

"Boly shit your actually alive!" The Rainbow headed girl said flying in and landing next to me. "And, you look like your packed on more muscle even grew"

"Uh... thanks?" I said feeling a little uncomfortable. "Who's the pink ball of energy over their?" I asked her pointing to said ball of energy.

"Darling you can't tell us you don't remember who pinkie is?" A fancy looking mare said who had three other girls walk in, one I recognized as Twilight.

"How ya feelin partner?" The cow-girl who I remembered as applejack asked and I shrugged. "You look like you could carry eight barrels full of apples and even out match macarena in an arm wrestling match"

"I'll say darling, he's grown since the last time we've seen him... filled out quite nicely I must say" The fancy mare said and I noticed her biting her lip a bit. I felt my face heat a little seeing this action.

"He does like awfully different, but in a good way" A gentle voice said next to me and I looked to see an ashy pink haired girl poking my arm and have her eyes widen. "Oh my..."

"Okay girls, give the kid some room" Twilight said and walked up to me and didn't even hesitate to bring me into an embrace. "I've missed you so much" she said and broke off wiping off some tears.

"I... missed all of you.... I think" I said making them look at me with confusion. "Well, I missed Twilight, Luna, Steel, Brigid and Celestia but the rest of you... I hate to say it but I dont recognize any of you save for Twilight and Applejack" I said getting shocked gasps.

"Its true" Steel said walking in. "The only other person he recognized was Applejack and Greenie" he went to explain what I told him earlier and I wrapped in a hug by the pink ball of energy.

"Thats so sad!" She said.

"Is their anything we can do to jog his memory?" Twilight asked as I began prying the ball of energy off me.

"Stop... pinkie I cant breathe!" I said and yanked pinkie off and I had another memory. "Oh, now I know who you are, pinkie pie... you got any candy, I literally havent had any cand for over 365 years" I said getting a look from everyone. "Oh yeah forgot to mention, Im 380 years old now"

"... We'll talk later, but it seems that its triggers randomly so my guess is that we just wait till he gets his memory back" Twilight said and everyone agreed. "For now, I'd like to talk with the dragoness girl that came with him"

"Where is she?" I asked.

"We showed your friend to a room in the castle where she's resting now" Steel answered and I got up. "Whoa lady killer, I know you want to go to your girlfriend but you're still healing"

"Bee helps me with my injuries and... other things" I said.

"Lucky" The fancy mare blurted out getting her own looks thrown to her. "I have no idea why I said that" she said and I rolled my eyes before walking tiwards the door not realizing I was ass naked.

"Its not what you're thinking Rarity, she helps me sleep at night" I said turning to them and the girls turned bright red their line of sight looking down. "Take a picture, it'll last longer"

"Longer is right" Pinkie said making a camera appear and took a picture. I rolled my eyes again and summoned my pants before heading of towards were Bee was, I strolled down the halls and felt more memories come back to me. Not a lot of good ones, mostly just me getting the shit kicked outta me and crying a lot, I soon walked down a hall and accidentally ran into some casuing slip. Before they hit the ground I quickly caught them and got'em back on their feet.

"You okay?" I asked what looked to be a guard, they nodded. "Okay, sorry bout that was just looking for a red Dragoness, have you seen her?" I asked.

"Oh yeah, I actually took her their my... self" The guard said, who I now knew was a mare, turning around and stopped when she looked at me. "Whoa... thats a lot of muscle"

"Thanks, Ive been hearing that a lot... can you show me to her room, she's a close friend of mine" I asked the mare and she nodded.

"No problem Lux, follow me" She said catching me off guard.

"How do you know my name?" I asked her.

"Do you recognize me, Im spikies marefriend, Cinder" Cinder said and suddenly felt a click in my mind.

"Oh, the guard that helped Steel when he was in jail waiting to be hung" I said and cinder nodded. Cinder began leading me to Bee's room and after wandering for a few minute, I recognized the room as the one I had years ago. "Thank you Cinder, give spike my regards" I said and cinder walked off just as I entered the room.

"Was wondering when you'd show up" Bee said in her usual night attire, completely naked. "Gonna join me?" She asked and I sighed a little, happy that she came back with me.

"I think I will" I said turning off the lights an stripped down before getting into bed with her and let sleep take over me.

Hmmm.... coulda used a little more 'umf', ya know what I mean?
