Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Been two months after the fight with discord and I regained my full strength after a few weeks, jack and rainbow are dating now along with coal and twilight, greenie is working up the courage to ask out applejack, and right now im climbing up to luna's room.

"Steel what art thou doing?" Luna asked me as I climbed up her balcony and sat on the ledge.

"What don't wanna see your friend Im hurt luna" I said entering her room she giggled and placed her book down. "Also I was bored so I came to see if you wanted to hang out for a bit and talk" I said jumping back forst on her bed.

"E 'in ritardo di acciaio quasi mezzanotte (It is late steel almost midnight)" luna said I shrugged.

"Like I said I was bored and wanted to come see you" I said. "Im still reading that book your sister gave me its guiet intresting and I have to hide the damn thing from twilight so she wont read it" I said making luna giggle.

"What has thou found out so far?" Luna asked sitting on the opposite side of the bed.

"Eh I can summon things now which is handy and I gottin use to the hidden blades" I said summoning them and showed her. "I got use to the weight rather fast... would you like to try one on?" I asked her sitting up she had an uneasy look.

"We do not know if we should but if we do could thou...guid us?" Luna asked I took off my left blade and walked over to luna.

"Of course now let me see your hand please" I asked her holding my hand out, she gave me her hand and I slowly put the blade on her wrist then tightened it to match her size. "Alright now I want you to raise your hand slowly up ok" I said sitting next to her and wrapped my arm around her bringing her closer to me and letting me have room to hold her arm still.

"A-alright" Luna said blushing a little from being so close to me, she lifted her hand slowly up activating the switch and the blade sprang out making her 'eep' cutely.

"See not so bad right?" I asked her and she retracted the blade.

"This is quiet fun" Luna said and continued taking the blade out. "We wish we had one just in case if something happins...maybe thou can make one for us?" She said turning to me with puppy dog eyes.

"Damn puppy eyes...fine but only one got it" I said she squeed a bit in excitement.

"Thank thou" Luna said we both noticed I havent removed arms from her or pushed her away from my body, Before we both knew it I had pinned her to the bed with her blushing heavily and staring into my eyes. "Essere in acciaio attenzione abbiamo lama thous (be careful steel we have thous blade)" She said holding the blade to my cheek I smirked and did the same.

"Si dimentica che faccio tok (you forget we have one too)" I replied she giggled a bit, she retracted the blade and took it off as did I, she wrapped her arms around my kneck and brought me closer, I cupped her cheek and started bringing my head down but just as our lips were inches apart the door busted open and we both froze.

"Sister! twilight said steel has gone missing we must find him and-" celestia said and saw us on the bed. "Oh um excuse me please, sorry to bother-wait... STEEL WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY SISTERS ROOM NO LESS ON HER BED!" Celestia asked in her royal canterlot voice making both of us jump out the bed and let go of eachother.

"Uh no reason just uh thought me and luna would hang out for a bit aint that right luna" I asked nudging her.

"Uh yes sir steel um came to hang out as he say's nothing more" Luna said and we both had wide nervous grins.

"Yes you know I was uh just leaving yes thats it... I bid thee farewell luna it was nice hanging out with you I hope we can do it-I mean hang out again not do it cause you know um not dating and all, yeah I'll just uh see myself out" I said grabbing my blade and running out to the balcony and dove off landing in some hay, then sprinted into the forest.

"Luna what was going on?" Celestia asked her sister who figited in place and began sweating. "It looked as though you were going to kiss steel" she said with a smug grin making luna blush a deep red.

"W-we were not sister we were going to give sir steel a hug for letting us use his blade nothing more" Luna said studdering a little.

"Awe my little sister has finally found someone to love" Celestia said hugging her but luna squirmed out. "Oh luna im only teasing calm down but if you do like steel fox then tell him you might not find someone that has almost the same life you have" celestia said before leaving the room and luna mumbled to herself.

"Stupid sister...we art not in love...well-no we art not" Luna said before groaning then laid down on her bed but heared something fall on the ground, she peeked over her bed to see my hiddin blade. Luna picked up the blade and summond a mannequin hand then slipped it on the hand. "We shall give this back to him If he should visit us again" luna said before turning off her light and going to sleep.


I was leaning next to the tree house panting and going through the image of me almost kissing luna, I almost had it.

"Damn...it celestia...just need a few seconds and I could have done it now im never gonna have that chance again" I said then growled in annoyance. "Dannazione! (God damn it!)" I yelled in frustration and slaming my fist against the wall.

"Steel whats the matter dude?" I heared spike say opeing the door, he was wearing pruple pajamas and a hat.

"Nothin spike just a little pissed off is all I'll be inside in a sec" I said.

"Is this about luna?" Spike said and I glared at him.

"How do you know...celestia of course" I said walking inside grabbing spike then closed the door. "Alright spike im gonna tell you that celestia is lieing" I said trying to lie to him.

"But you just said how did I know" Spike said and I facepalmed.

"Dammit...tell no one not a soul got it I don't want luna's subjects to shun her again" I said walking to the stairs. "Give me the letter" I said and he did I opened it and tore it into peices then threw it away, I walked back to my room and tossed my blade on the desk. "I hate my life sometimes you know rok, first I cant tell the girl I have a crush that I like her and then I let my emotions run lose tonight making me almost kiss her then theres the part were if I do tell her my feeling and she accepts them she will be shunned by all the ponies that are finally warming up to her" I said plopping on my bed rok whimper a bit then nuzzled my leg. "Ah thanks for trying to cheer me up bud but I think a good night's sleep with help me" I said kicking my shoes off and taking my socks off, I didnt bother taking off my shirt or pants and just laid there until I fell asleep.

(Dream realm)

"Finally was wondering when you were gonna get here" I heared the girl say I groaned and went to face her.

"Alright thats it get the hell out of my head you bitch!" I yelled at her but she was standing next to ryle. "Ryle bro she's evil get away from her" I said.

"Calm down steel I know about Brigid" Ryle said as I arch a brow.

"Brigid shes named after the goddess of fire...why does that suit her well and I didnt even know she had a name" I said.

"You never asked dumbass of course I had a name" Brigid said I growled at her.

"Alright you two I didnt bring you here to fight I want yall to be friends" Ryle said suprising us both.

"She's been torturing my mind since the day you died how can I be her friend!" I asked ryle.

"I dont give a flying fuck about this loser I just want to be out of his damn head!" Brigid said.

"SHUT UP!" Ryle roared making us quiet. "The reason why I want you to be friends is because you need eachother, Brigid I know a way to get you free but steel has to gain the experience and magic for it only then will you be set free and have a body to call your, and steel you need her power to go into berserk mode in case you are caught in a corner so please Im your brother which makes both of you siblings" ryle said and pushed Brigid infront of me.

"Argh...fine but if I do let you and thats a big 'IF' dont attack my friends" I said holding out my hand.

"Fine then dont have them attack me and I wanna fight you when I get out" Brigid said grabbing my hand. "Then its a deal...brother"

"It sure is sis" I said we both glared at eachother then shook before letting go.

"Aye you two are like siblings alright now since you made a deal you must live up to it so im placing a mark on your bodies that will stay there as a reminder to help eachother also another to hel you remember what were fighting for" ryle said before we both felt a pain on our chests and back. "Im sorry you have to wear the mark again bro truly I am but ponys must know what you are and what you fight for" ryle said and I began screaming more feeling a familiar pain all over my back then a symbol started etching into it.

One that marks courage and honor but brings immense pain and loss as well.

"SON OF A BIIIIIITCH....ARGH AAAHH!" I screamed as the symbol grew on my back all the way down and stopping just above my waist it glowed a dark orange before it turned black and the pain stopped but pulsated through me each time. I felt another pain but it was shorter and I felt something around my kneck I looked and saw a peice of yin shaped as a necklace I looked to brigid who had a peice of yan.

"There it is done and im sorry steel the deal has been sealed by the peices of yin and yang they will be able to come off but only steel can take it off since brigid is here in his mind" Ryle said and we looked at the necklaces. "Alright I think its time for steel to wake up you might have scared your friends... oh and do say hi to your girlfriend for me" ryel said smirking.

"She's not my girlfriend bro really were just friends" I said glaring at him.

"Is that why you almost kissed her?" Brigid said I flipped her the bird.

"Alright Im gonna wake up now and hope that the girls wont find the assassin symbol on my back" I said cloaing my eyes and my body vanished.

"I shall take my leave as well good luck to you both" Ryle said but brigid stop him.

"How long have you known about me?" She asked him.

"When I found out his parents on the day we escaped but never tell him who his father was or his mother he's not ready to handle such things yet" Ryle said before vanishing into the darkness as did brigid.

(Real world)

I felt something lick my face making me open my eyes and sit up.

"Augh rok c'mon man really" I said he barked and wagged his tail I took off my shirt and wiped the slobber off my face then felt something cold land on my skin, I looked down and saw the necklace. "Guess he wasn't lieing and if thats here than that means the mark is on my back as well" I said getting up and looking behind me only to see the mark, I sighed then went to my closet I opened it and saw only my robes again this time I groaned then placed them on. I felt the sting from my back making me yelp a little then I walked out my room after grabbing my hiddin blade I noticed that I left my other blade in luna's room guess I'll go back for it later. I walked down the stairs hood down and saw spike holding a carved pumpkin in his hands, confused I just let it be and walked out the house to grab some food.

As I walked I saw ponies putting up decorations some were pumpkins and some were candy corn Still confused I just left it alone, I reach sugarcubed corner and went inside then grabbed a seat.

"Hey pinkie can I get a peice of cake and coffee?" I asked her as she popped up infront of me with said iteams. "Thank you heres the bits" I said handing her six bits she thanked me and walked to the counter. "Oh yeah pinkie whats with all the you know decorations is there some holiday today?" I asked her.

"Yepperoni tonights gonna be nightmare night I thought you knew this steel?" pinkie said confused as to how I never knew this.

"Well pinkie one different world two that sounds like Halloween hmm do all you dress in costumes by any chance and give candy to kids?" I asked her eating my cake.

"Yeah and Im guessing that your world has the same thing too right?" Pinkie asked me I nodded.

"Yes we do its called Halloween it is a time were souls of the dead roam around for one night so parents tell kids that wearing a costume will make them blend in with the spirits and ignore them whats yalls about?" I asked her drinking the coffee.

"Well we have the same thing almost but the souls of the dead is replaced with nightmare moon, parents tell there foals that dressing up will have nightmare moon not eat you" Pinkie said I humed.

"Kinda dark dont you think?" I said she shrugged.

"Oh so you and luna huh" Pinkie said smiling and I spat out the coffee and coughed a bit.

"What no there is nothing between us at all pinkie!" I explained but pinkie kept her smile. "Pinkie I dont know were you heared this but its not true honest" I said.

"Are ya sure you and her were thiiiiis close to ki-" I covered her mouth and took her to the back room.

"Pinkie please there is nothing alright nothing!" I yelled she was still smiling. "Aye pinkie fine you win...I might have a crush on her but I swear if you tell anyone-"

"Anypony" pinkie corrected. "Not anyone"

"O...k...anyways tell no pony got it" I said pinkie nodded.

"Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye" She said doing the gestures I let out a small sigh before I opened the back door.

"Thanks pinkie I'll see you guys later alright" I said and walked out the building leaving me to wonder by myself. It was kinda boring to say the least ponies putting up decorations and parents walking with there kids to go get a costume I never really got into it then again I was in a facility so maybe thats why. "Man let something happin for god sakes" I groaned then saw the blue figure of altaïr it started running and I felt a smile grow on my face before I raced after it into the everfree forest, altaïr wasnt stoping at all he did was run in one direction. "Were are you leading me?" I asked the ghost, he then took a sharp left making me trip and roll on the ground I got back up before running after him again.

We ran for what seemed like hours even though I knew it was a few minutes, these woods are strange but also cool, "I wonder were altaïr is taking me?" I questioned before we stoped at a giant cliff that I almost fell off of. "Oh shit that was close that was really close" I said I looked over the cliff and saw a massive drop to bottom but it didnt really faze me that much. "Wonder why altaïr took me here hmm...guess I have no choice gotta use eagle vision" I said and closed my eye before slowly opening them and they glowed a bright blue. My surrounding area was dark blue and black, I looked around for a few minutes until I found a thin blue trail and footprints on the floor leading to somewhere. I began following the trail passing rivers and trees I didnt know the everfree was so damn big but oh well, I came to a stop and had a crane my kneck a bit to get a the view of the entire castle that was in the forest.

"Holy shit...how'd I miss that?" I asked myself looking at the castle It looked quiet old from the way it look some holes on the sides and roof, broken windows and vines growing on it yet through all of this it had a strange allure to it was so strong that I didnt noticed till now I was infront if the door. "Whoa...what is this place it looks ancient almost a hundred years old at best yet what is this allure its giving off" I said and tried ti push the door open but it was sealed shut I couldnt even break it open the door had a protecting spell on it which was suprising. "Guess im flying up then" I said and flew up a few feet but then it was cut off instantly and I fell straight on my back, I groaned while I got up then dusted myself off. "What the hell was that how did it cut off my flying" I said and popped my back. "Damn guess im doing it the old fashion way" I said then ran up the wall up bit before grabbing a loose brick and ascended up grabbing bricks. I made sure that the bricks I grabbed were sturdy enough for my weight then climbed, I grabbed a brick then began hoisting myself up but it came lose and I began fallin thinking fast I summond a knife and dug it into the wall but it broke so for a last ditch effort I used the grapple I had on my blade to sink ito the wall luckily it found its mark and stopped me from falling to my death. "Holy shit... that was really close thank god I read that book and found out what my blades can do and what can be attached to make them better" I said and shot my self up to the roof.

"So you've come?" A man said Making me turn but see no one. "Come inside when you are ready I'll be waiting" he said then wind rushed past me and a door opened to my right.

"Who...was that and does this man know me?" I asked and walked into the door then closed it surrounding me in darkness.

"Ah...im glad you decided to come now finding me will be your first lesson... use only your wits and the things around you" the man said once more his voice ecoing through the building, I used my eagle vision to atleast see thankfully it worked and I started roaming the halls looking for clues or the man. I found foot prints on the floor the glowed a bright gold I decided to follow these steps cautiously just in case, as I followed the man spoke once more. "So you have the famous eagle vision I see hmm maybe you might help this land after all steel fox" the man said, As I followed the trail it lead me to a dead end.

"A dead end...or is it?" I said before walking up to it then pressed my hand on it making it go through it with a small ripple around my hand. Smiling at my founding I went through and saw a hallway with a soft orange glow from the torches lined up on the wall, I began walking down the hall feeling the flames and hearing the ecos of my footsteps at the end of the hall was nothing but darkness and a single stand. I stoped on the edge of the small stand and stood at my full hieght looking into the darkness.

"Tell me steel fox do you feel fear, regret, sadness, honor, love...pride?" The man asked his voice bouncing off the blackened walls around me.

"I do feel these things but some are very little thanks to my life" I answered and I heared a hum from the man then silence. "Is it wrong for me to feel very little of honor and pride, love and regret, and fear?" I asked the man but was answered by silence. "Please...tell me"

"If you jump into the pit with little to no thought of it and do what feels natural I will answer your questions" He said and I stood there looking into the darkness then planted my right foot on the edge, putting all my weight onto it I leaped into the darkness and dove head first into the pit.

"If I feel fear then I am human and will respond by doing not retreating, if I feel regret that means I have a heart to feel the sadness of others, sadness will never be the down fall of anyones life it will make one strong and fight it with the help of others close to them, love is a special feeling that will give more strength then you can imagine and fight for it no matter what" I said as I fell then slowly flip on my back. "Honor will be more than just up holding your pride but it will also be your down fall if it should take hold of your mind this is what it means to be human and I am a hybrid with a human heart I stand for these things and will embrace them when needed" I said saw the area light up shining with lights everywere the walls looked like from marble and the ceiling was gold but had one Symbol etched into it. I felt the hay hit my back and I landed safely on it I jumped out and looked around the massive room.

"I did not need to tell you what you should feel or not for you have already found out yourself during your leap of faith" I heared the man say behind me, I looked to see a old stallion with gray hair and fur he was wearing the mentor robes of assassins.

"Hello wise one it seems I was not strayed from the assassin path I see" I said kneeling to him and bowing my head.

"Do not bow to me I am just an old man nothing more" He said as I rised. "Who has brought you to our headquarters steel fox?" The man said.

"Ours are there others?" I asked him to which he nodded then looked behind, I looked and saw the room full of assassins mostly women and some male all wearing white robes also having the sun and moon sewed on to their hoods. "This is incredible mentor I never thought you would have so many assassins already" I said.

"Yes over the years I have gathered ponys, griffins, dragons, zebras, diamond dogs there is still much to do all of them are to be in there own countries to protect them with the knowledge and skill I have gave them I will let two of your choosing to stay and help you for my time is coming" he said and I thanked him.

"What should I call you mentor before your time comes?" I asked him he chuckled lightly.

"You may call me Aries and im well aware of the name steel fox now please choose" Aries said I nodded and walked up to the assassins who were all lined up.

"Hello all my name is steel fox as you can see by my robes I am apart of the brotherhood and aries has asked me to pick two of you to come with me and stay here but I cannot do that without seeing your faces please lower your hoods so I may see them" I said and as if on command they all dropped there hoods and I only saw four males out of them all. "Wow was kinda expecting more guys hmm well twilight did say the main gender here is females so that would explain it" I mumbled to myself.

"Are ya gonna pick man cause if not then im gonna go to bed" I heared a mare say to my right i looked to see a vanilla colored unicorn mare with raven black hair and green eyes she yawned and stretched. "C'mon it not hard just point and we'll go simple" She said.

"Whats your name miss?" I asked walking to her.

"The names vanilla dude been here my whole life got the basics down can run pretty fast and have a nice rack" She said patting her rather large chest.

"*ahem* I see well vanilla I guess I found one then get your things ready your coming with me" I said.

"See that simple but I cant not without my sister" Vanilla said.

"Who is your sister?" I asked her and just as I said that a mare came running in and ran right into me.

"Oh im so sorry sir I was just running late and ran as fast as can please forgive me" The mare said and she sounded just like fluttershy except had more volume to it and sounded higher, the mare lifted herself up and I saw the mare she had dark brown fur her eyes were light brown and wings.

"Its alright miss might I get your name by any chance?" I asked her as she dusted herself off and helped me up.

"My names chocolate chip its very nice to meet you...oh your that human that defeated discord right?" Chocolate asked I nodded. "Thank you for saving us"

"It was no problem um random question but are you the sister of a mare named vanilla?" I asked her she nodded.

"How do you know her?" She asked then vanilla came up behind her and grabbed her chest.

"Because im right here you goof" vanilla said and chocolate screamed from either being scared or being grabbed by her chest possibly both.

"Ok uh ladies your infront of a crowed you know and your giving some a show" I said with a small blush, some of the girls whistled at this as did guys. I split them up and chocolate had a red face while vanilla was laughing. "Alright you two that enough I dont think chocolate can take much more...now vanilla, chocolate I want both of you to grab your things your the two assassins I want to come with me and possibly befriend" I said confusing chacolate.

"Come with you what does he mean vanilla?" Chocolate asked her sister taking her hood down her hair was both white a brown like an ice cream swirl in a way.

"I'll explain dont worry steel we will be back in a few" vanilla said grabbing her sisters hand before walking off .

"Hmm those two I will say they are like yin and yang both opposite vanilla lively and outgoing, while chocolate shy and pure but just like Yin and Yang they need eachother" Aries said walking next to me. "Here you will need this if you need help from other assassins in the area" he said handing me a whistle but I declined.

"Not to be rude mentor but I can whistle with out that object" I said he nodded and placed it back into his pocket.

"Alright now all of you go to your country and protect it from templars come back here if you have any valuable information I pass on the leader ship to steel fox since he has more experience than anyone else" Aries said and they all nodded before running in opposite tunnles. "Steel fox will you end my suffering so I may go to the Heavins and wait for when Im needed again" aries asked me.

"If that is what you wish aries then I will honor your request" I said, chocolate and vanilla came back with bags and wearing regular cloths. Chocolate had a small dark brown shirt matching her coat and black jeans with running shoes, Vanilla had one a tight white shirt with blue jeans and running shoes.

"Alrigt we got our stuff we should have enough bits to buy a apartment...whats going on?" Vanilla asked.

"Vanilla, Chocolate chip I have tought you everything I know I hope you will live a happy life even when the templars come" Aries said.

"Mentor are you going somewere?" Chocolate asked him to which he nodded.

"Yes I am young one some where to which I may know peace" He said and theres eyes widen.

"No you cant die mentor what if we need you again what if we cant find the peice of eden?" Vanilla asked he held up his hand.

"I have done my part vanilla I know I raised as children and I even consider the both of you as my daughters but I must go...please take care of eachother and take care of steel fox...steel it is time" aries said then nodded.

"As you wish mentor" I said then brought out my blade before placing it into his heart. " Anche se non temete la morte ora dovrei dire ancora non temere solo abbracciarla (Even though you do not fear death now, I should still say do not fear only embrace it)" I said laying him down. "Riposa in pace vecchio amico (Rest in peace old friend)" I said and he took his last breath I closed his eyes and stood back up. "I am sorry he asked me to do it it was his last request I do not blame you for hating me but it was either die alone with no one around or die with those he loved more than anything here" I said turning to them and was embraced by both mares who were crying there eyes out I hugged them back and let them cry as long as they want. "It is alright I know what its like to lose someone close to you close enough to call family" I said and they pulled off my wipping tears away but still crying a bit.

"Damn I-I cant stop crying" Vanilla said wipping her tears as best she could only for new ones to replace the old.

"Do not think ill of tears they show you have a heart its what I was told by my mentor back in my world, he's gone now but I always kept that in my thoughts" I said and patted there heads. "Your mentor has gone ti a better place I know you would like to see him again but you must wait until we are finished or the second option one that I despise" I said turning back to the doorway. "Come we shall head to ponyville and begin your new lives there I will show you to some of my friends there so you may have other friends besides me" I said and we began walking out if the assassin HQ.


I moved a hatch above us and took a peek out only seeing that were outside of ponyville and the sun just setting, I climbed up and helped the sisters out then closed the hatch.

"So this is ponyville its nice" Vanilla said looking at the town, we began walking into the town passing foals and parents almost everyone in a costume like zombies, skeletons and witches.

"Steel there you are we got worried cause we didnt know were you run off too" I heared twilight say running up to me with coal, she had on some weird wizard outfit even had a white beared and a hat.

"Ok one" I said ripping off her beared and throwing it away. "And two Im fine see even found some friends this is chacolate chip and vanilla say hi guys" I said.

"Hello its very nice to meet you I hope we can be friends" Chacolate said.

"Hey the names vanilla and you already met my sister so we can scratch that off" Vanilla said. "Hey your kinda cute" she said making twilight blush.

"Uh...thank you but im already seeing somepony sorry" Twilight said grabbing coal who was in a viking out fit with a beared as well which I ripped off.

"So why are you guys in costumes?" I asked them then felt someone behind me, I quickly flew up to them and tackled them out of the sky. "Who are what are you...Dash the hell mate I could have hurt you" I said looking down at her she was wearing something call a wonderbolt suit as rainbow told me once except purple and black.

"Geez steel was only gonna pull a prank mind getting off me though" Rainbiw said and I got off then helped her up.

"Dash damn it I told you to wait up im not as fast as you" Jack said running up and panting a bit he was also wearing a viking outfit. "Oh steel your here were did you run off too dude?" Jack asked me.

"Ah I was bored so i ran into the forest and found these two wondering" I said pointing to vanilla and chacolate.

"Hi" chacolate said.

"Sup" vanilla said. "Cool hammer"

"Thank you made it myself by the way names jackhammer" Jack said.

"Please stop showin mares your skills I thought I was your marefriend " rainbow said making him laugh little.

"If I didnt know any better dash I said your a bit jealous" Jack said and rainbow punched his arm then rubbed it.

"Dont know what your talking about jack I dont get jeans those mares are jealous because your all mine" Rainbow said hitting him once more and rubbed her hand again. "Damn what are you made of iron?"

"I hit metal for a living dashie so Im gonna get some muscle" Jack said then felt a apple hit him.

"Oi ya big bastard the'ell is steel!" I heared greenie call out walking up with applejack who was a a scarecrow and greenie was also a viking.

"Ok one why are you guys wearing viking outfits?" I asked him.

"Rarity wanted us to be matching and since we beat discord she decided to make these things to show strength" mint said walking up to us with the others.

"How do you know what a viking is?" I asked them.

"Twilight read your book" They said pointing to the mare and I glared at her.

"Twilight never read my things without permission understand" I said she nodded, "Alright so weres mine?" I asked rarity.

"Well I couldnt find you anywere so I need to take your measurements come it should be quick" Rarity said and we all walked to her house to get my costume ready.

( Carousel Boutique)

As I stood there with only my pants on rarity took measurements while the others were talking and getting to know vanilla and chacolate.

"How you guys doing" I asked them as rarity measured my waist.

"How do ya think lad" Greenie said grabbing his flask but was again dumped out. "I hate yountwilight" Greenie said glaring at her.

"There are foals greenie so no drinking" Twilight said I laughed at bis misfortune.

"You heared the mare greenie no drinking" I said then felt my blade get takin off my wrist. "Hey I need that damn it" I said jumping off the pedestal and snatching it out of the magic. "No one touches the blade I have them for a reason" I said re-attaching to my arm.

"Uh steel whats on your back it looks like a giant scar but its kinda hard to see" Fluttershy asked me and I stoped what I was doing.

"I got it a long time ago something I got force to do its over now but it wont leave me...now drop it before I get mad" I said glaring at her making her shake like a leaf.

"Alright yeesh dont have to make the poor mare shake steel" mint said calming fluttershy down.

"Sorry its just this mark holds more than you know" I said and walked back on the pedestal.

"Really" Twilight muttered and stared at my back. "We'll see what we can get"

"Alright steel it done now please wait here Twilight gave me a drawing of one of the vikings so I'll base the design off it" Rarity said as I put the robes back on.

"So anything going on this nightmare night?" I asked them but they shook there heads.

"Nah we just watch the foals run around give'em a spook here and there" greenie said sitting down after grabbing his flask off the floor and began cleaning it.

"Huh never realky got into these kinds of stuff but im willing to try it" I said.

"So I gotta ask were did you yet those robes dude there awesome?" Coal asked.

"Well I found them in the castle they were sorta calling me to them and I put them on luna saw this and let me keep them because she didnt know they were there as well" I said getting a smirk from everyone. "What?"

"Dont think were stupid surgar cube you like the princess dont you" Applejack and I began sweating a bit.

"What no of course I dont were just really close friends " I said hoping they wont preasure on the subject.

"Uh-Huh so why were you at her chambers yesterday?" Twilight asked.

'How the hell did she-...spike that son of a bitch!' I yelled in my head before clearing my throat. "Twilight what are you on about I was in the woods walking around for bit nothing wrong with is there?" I asked her and she sighed in defeat.

"Fine you win guess spike was making all that up then no gems for week" Twilight said I gave a internal sigh, after a few minutes we heared rarity call down the stairs holding my costume which was really detailed at that.

"Whoa uh rarity can I see that picture twilight drew?" I asked and she floated the Picture to my hands. "Whoa twilight this is really good didnt take you for an artist" I said and she blushed a little.

"It was nothing really it took me an hour to do it but I got it" twilight said.

"Mind if I keep it this looks really cool" I said and she nodded. "Well alright time to fit this thing on" I said grabbing the costume and walked over to a small changung room. I took off my robes and began putting the costume on.

(A few minutes later)

"There all done now im an assassin viking huh wonder if they had those back then probably not" I said neatly folding my robes and coming out the room only to see no one here. "Geez guys thanks for the compliments" I said and placed my robes on a mannequin then left a note saying dont sell to anyone at all or else, then I left the shop and walked around a bit. Mares and stallions saw my costume and saw how tall I was compared to them, the mares were in awe while the stallions gave me jealous looks even some had a pipe in there hands. "Geez im not that good looking am I?" Asked myself and placed on the helmet before running a bit, as I walked I saw a crowed of ponies around a stage were a mare with a clown costume on came up curious I went over to see whats happing.

"Happy nightmare night everypony I hope your having a wonderful time and hope you dont get to scared" The mare said and added a stupid 'boo' to the end.

"It would be scarier if you werent in a clown costume" I heared spike say next to me and I stifled a laugh.

"Anyways I really do hope you all are having fun and today we have a special pony you all know her as zecora who will be giving a story to the children about nightmare night" The clown said and zecora walked over in a witch doctor outfit with her hair down.

"Come children and I shall tell the story of nightmare night that you know so well" Zecora said and all the foals followed her I smirked and followed wondering how this will play out. "Nightmare moon as you know will is allowed one night to bring about fear, thats why little ones you wear these costumes to disguise you" zecora said and brought out some green pouder and blew into it making it all foggy with green mist. "It always happing on this night and this night alone that nightmare moon comes and search for fillys and colts" she said and a figure of nightmare moon appeared searching but couldn't find what she was looking for.

"Miss zecora if we wear costumes to hid ourselves why do we have to give her our candy?" A colt said he was wearing a pirate costume and had white fur and brown spots on him.

"Excellent question young one the reason is simple the reason to give nightmare moon your candy is so she may eat it instead of eating you" Zecora said and puffed some green smoke and nightmare moon jumoed at them out of reflex I grabbed the colt before the fake got him.

"Whoa that was close you good kid?" I asked him.

"Uh yeah thank you sir" The kid said and he sounded british, I placed him down and looked around to see ponies staring at me.

"Sorry reflex thought he was in danger" I said and saw my friends running to me. "There you guys are the hell have been?" I asked them.

"Sorry mate got tired of waiten didnt expect you to be here enjoying a kiddie story" greenie said laughing I punched his arm. "Ow by celestia you have quiet a punch I dont remember it being that strong before" Greenie said rubbing his arm.

"Yeah yeah quiet your whinning and besides I got to know a bit about nightmare night" I said and befire anyone could reply there was a loud tunder clap making us all look to the sky and see batponies flying in with a carriage with a hooded pony the ponies all screamed and headed back to town the carriage followed so I follwed it too.

The carriage landed on the gorund with the batpony looking menacing and the ponies looked afraid Me and others arrived at the town and saw the hooded pony step out of the carriage.

"Citizens of ponyville be greatful that we princess luna has graced your small town with our presence!" Luna yelled out in her royal canterlot voice making the ponies all bow fearfully. "What is that matter with you all we thought you would be greet your ruler of the night kindly not quiver on the ground rise!"she shouted more.

"Hey luna whats bring ya here?" I asked her grabbing her attention. "What its me steel you know your friend" I said taking off the helmet and she smiled brightly before hugging me.

"Oh it is wonderful to see thou oh thou forgot this in our room" Luna said lifting her hand up and a bkade went next to my cheek.

"Ah luna you forget once more" I said and put my blade next to her cheek.

"Indeed we will scare thou one day but first we need to atleast get a proper greeting" Luna said and faced the crowed again. "Citizens please do not fear us we only wish to become your friend" Luna said but none of them got up luna walked over to the clown mare she kneeled down and offered her hand but the mare got scared and shook more. "Fine be that way we wont even bother with the royal farewell" Luna said and stormed off grabbing me along the way.

"What no dinner?" I joked and she began dragging me through the crowed.

"Oh no nightmare moon is gonna eat steel everypony run!" Pinkie yelled out wesring a chickin costume and everyone scattered like roaches.

"Pinkie the fuck!" I yelled at her and luna walked faster until we were next to the woods then she let me. "Luna you ok?" I asked her as she sat down next to a small creek.

"Why dos the ponies not see I want to be there friends steel all we want is to be accepted" Luna said. "Your our only friend we dont even think the elements of harmony like us" luna said and had a small tear run down her cheek, I sat diwn next to her and wiped it away.

"If they dont like you then to hell with them I'll always be by your side luna Im your friend and we help eachother out no matter what" I said she gave me a small smile and scooted closer to me. "Beautiful night is it not?" Iasked her she nodded.

"Yes we did make it after all" luna said.

"You know I can tell that your old english is being replaced with new English its nice actually" I said and felt her hand grab mine.

"Really well we shall try and meet tho-your expectations" Luna said using your instead of thou.

"There ya go niw all we gotta do is work on your volume because back there you were linda yelling at them" I said.

"But it is tradition that we speak in the royal canterlot voice to show our power" Luna said and I gave her a 'Really' look. "What we have power" She said then I booped her nose.

"If you did then you would havs stoped that wouldnt you" I said chuckling but she had a come back and poked my side.

"We may not have that power but we have the power to do the same to you" Luna said and booped my nose. "See" she said and we both laughed.

"Aye I guess your right but we really do need to work on your inside voice alright"I said and she nodded and leaned on me.

"Alright we will" Luna said and I had a blush on my face. "Consider yourself lucky I dont ever do this to anypony" she said and I chuckled.

"Wow you spoil me my princess this is to much but I could not saying anything if you dont" I said.

"Deal" Luna said and grabbed my arm we sat there just looking into the water watching fishes pass and the moon shine off the water.

"I really do love the moon its always comforting just to look up and see it in the sky with all its beauty" I said. "Like a pony I know" I said making her blush a little.

"Still the charmer we see but you forget it takes more than charm to get anywere" Luna said and I smirked and faced her fully.

"Guess I gotta take a step forward then" I said and cupped her cheek then started bring her head closer to mine she closed her eyes as did I and we waited, just after a few seconds I felt soft lips on mine pressing onto me. She tasted sweet like berries and her sent was like midnight lavender this was amazing thats all I could think of right now. After a minute or two we parted and stared at eachother both of us smiling before kissing one more time.

"You are quite something steel fox quite something indeed" Luna said parting from me. "We have something to say steel"una said.

"What is it?" I asked but just as she was going to say we heared footsteps running to us so we quickly let go of eachother and stared into the creek.

"Princess luna there you are I was worried you might be upset" We heared twilight say.

"Oh no we are fine thanks to steel here" Luna said and noticed she was still really close to me and scooted a bit away.

"Ok sure but I think I know a way to help you with the being liked by other ponies" Twilight saidgrabbing her attention.


After going to fluttershy's house and getting her to finally got luna saying 'I' but twilights first plan back fired on her because luna saw a colt fall into some water then helped him only for pinkie to fuck it up and luna got pissed which lead her to cancel nightmare forever then ran off.

"God damn it pinkie what the hell mate we were trying to have her make some friends and it took an hour of waking fluttershy up because she kept passing out at the sight of luna and she finally was able to say 'I', pinkie just stop making her pissed thats all im askin" I scolded pinkie who had her ears flat and silent.

"Im sorry I didnt know honest I just wanted to have the foals have fun I didnt mean to make her mad" Pinkie said and I sighed with a little groan.

"Alright just... look pinkie you know about my little secret and I want to help her make some friends so please dont-"

"Wait thats it!" Twilight cut me short. "I know how to make everypony like her" Twilight said and started dragging me off to find luna, after about a few minutes of searching we found her crying by the creek we were at.

"Luna are you alright?" I asked running up to her.

"Oh, steel, its fine I knew ponies wouldnt like me even if I showed them kindness" Luna said as tears ran down her cheeks, I wiped them away and hugged her.

"Its fine remember you still got me and now you got twilight" I said and twilight ran over both excited and worried.

"Princess Luna I know how to get ponies to like you and it wont back fire this time I promise" Twilight said getting her attention once more.

"If you think you can then thats a miracle all on its own I dont think I could go back there" luna said but I pattee her head and brought her closer to me.

"Hey its fine if this plan doesnt work then oh well its not the end of the world atleast tonight you got two friends with you" I said and she gave me a small smile and huggee me back.

"Than you" Luna said.

"Ahem not to break up your little romance here but uh we better hurry" Twilight said and I totally forgot about her as did luna and we separated from eachother. "Alright c'mon we gotta hurry nightmare night is almost over" Twilight said and we she had us follow her to the nightmare moon statue then made it removable. "Ok so the foals are to be here in a few minutes princess luna do you think you are abke to form a nightmare moon version of yourself?" Twilight asked her.

"Uh yes but I dont see-"

"Trust me...here they come on my signal I'll trow a smoke bomb down and remove the statue while I do that I want the princess to turn into nightmare moon and hope on the say 'You were wise ti bring me this candy so I may eat 'it' instead of eating you' got it?" Twilight asked and luna nodded and i started seeing her plan then devised my own.

We saw the foals come up all sad and some crying they walked infront of the statue then dumoed there candy the last one was the kid luna helped out of the water.

"Goodbye nightmare night forever" He said and dumoed his candy then twilight trew a green smoke bome down then quickly removed the statue from its place and luna transformed into nightmare moon then hopped on.

"Citizens of ponyville you were wise to bring me this candy so I may eat it instead of eating you!" Luna said in her royal canterlot voice the foals screamed as did some of the adults I summoned my hood part of my robe then coals axe and walked out from behind the pedestal hood covering my face in the shadows.

"What is that?!" A stallion asked almost crapping his pants.

"Your worst nightmare" I said my voice disoriented and began walking to them axe raised. "Run you kiddies run ahahahaha!" I laughed as they all started running away screaming I threw the axe at a tree near a stallion who was gone in seconds after that then reached for my hood for the ones that havent run yet. "When I say run I really do mean RUN!" I roared as I pulled my hood down revealing a Black skull . They all turned pale before disappearing I saw the girl's and others come with weapons ready.

"Lets go you-wow thats uh yeesh" Rainbow said looking at me I walked over to the tree were the axe was and pulled it out. "Uh-oh uh all yours fellas " Rainbow said getting behind jack. Jack, mint , coal and greenie all got ready and waited.

"C'mon ya scary summa bitch lets dance already" Greenie said raising his fists but I vanished. "Were did he-"

"AAAHH!" Rarity screamed as I was infront of the girls.

"Lookie I found some fresh meat hahahah!" I said my voice still disoriented, they all shook at how I got there so fast then applejack noticed what I was wearing.

"Steel why Ah outta punch the livin lights out of ya fer scaring all of us half to death!" Applejack yelled at me and I laughed more except changing my voice back.

"Oh that was to good you should have seen your faces priceless" I said laughing, luna and twilight came running over and I made the items go away. "Anyways you guys met princess luna and I have a mind to slap greenie, coal, jack and mint for making her sad" i said glaring at them.

"No offense steel but Jacks as hard as metal" Rainbow said.

"I beat him in arm wrestling and lifted more than him get on my level" I said turning to luna who spat out some fake teeth.

"Twilight I really dont see the reason for any of this" Luna said throwing the teeth away.

"Yeah gotta be honest me too at first but then I caught on all they needed was this" I said.

"Why so they can run and scream some more?" Luna asked then felt someone tug her dress we looked down and saw the kid I 'saved'.

"Uh princess luna I know nightmare night is cancelled for ever but do you think you can come back and scare us again?" The kid said.

"Child are you saying you...like being scared?" Luna asked him hd nodded.

"Yeah it's scary but fun" he said.

"Whats your name little guy?" I asked him.

"Pipsqueak the pirate at your service" Pip said. "So can you?" He asked luna again.

"Well I suppose but I guess we have to bring nightmare night back dont we" Luna said and pip smiled brightly.

"Your my favorite princess ever...she said alright guys" Pip said running back to the other kids.

"Aw that was sweet" I said walking next to luna. "Nice kid"

"Indeed he is a sweet boy but I guess I should be heading back to the castle its almost morning" Luna said, I looked around to see if anyone was looking only to see the others talking and the foals playing.

"We'll how about one more kiss eh no one's lookin so this will be our secret" I said ans brought her closer she smirked before placing her lips on mine and stayed there for a bit.

"Aw gross" We heared a foal say making us stop and look. "Geez cant do that behind a tree or something?" Scootaloo said looking at us and we both jumped a bit.

"H-hey scoots I didnt see ya there um I thought you were playing with the other kids" I said she shook her head.

"No but apparently you were playing smoochy with the princess" Scoots said laughing a bit and we turned red. "Dont worry your secrets safe with me but you gotta take me and my brother to see her" scoots said.

"Oh boy alright whis your brother?" I asked her.

"Pip the one that asked luna anyways were gonna head off see you later steel"Scoots said and ran back to pip then they both left.

"You two know eachother?" Luna asked her face still red.

"Uh yeah found her in the woods never mentioned a brother before oh well but I guess I'll ses you kater maybe tomorrow night?" I said.

"Hmm that would be nice oh and before I forget" Luna said before tossing my blade back to me. "There now remember your promise to me about that blade" she said.

"I'll do you one better I barely was able to finish it a few days ago but I think I got it" I said and held the blade out then had a black aura around it before a small bright flash then another blade came out. "There Phew thats takes alot out of ya" I said and sliped the duplicate on her wrist she squeed and kissed my cheek.

"Thank you" she said blushed a little. "Ahem uh I thank you have a nice night steel fox and I'll see you later" Luna said before teleporting away leaving me to think.

"Did I really just kiss a moon goddess" I said shocked at myself. "Well my damn emotions got out of line again this time taking full control but im human-ish so I guess I would experience love" I said and turned around to see pinkie smiling widely. "You saw nothing pinkie" I said.

"Saw what?" She asked winking before sinking into the ground.

"Well Im heading to sleep...night luna" I said looking at the moon before heading back to the library.


"So sister how did it go?" Celestia asked luna whi was sitting on her stool brushing her hair.

"It was wonderful sister and I finally learned how to talk normal and not old english" luna said. "Steel and twilight helped me make more friends im so happy I could explode" She said squeeing.

"Sounds like you had a blast luna but the question is what about steel?" Celestia asked her makijg luna drop the brush.

"Oh u-uh he was...very helpful in helping me make friends...we did...however" luna said stoping and using her hair to hid her blush.

"What c'mon tell me im curious?" Celestia asked getting closer. "Dont tell did you two you know" celestia asked making the hand motions causing luna to go more red.

"Sister we arent even dating him why would we mate with him!" Luna said in her old english.

"Oh thank god so what happened then?" Celestia asked.

"All we did was...kiss thats it nothing more we were both caught up in the moment and kissed totally different" luna said still blushing.

"Aw my sister really has found love" Celestia saud then found a blade near her cheek. "Ok im just gonna leave you for a bit you must be tired so get your rest good night sister" Celestia running out the room.

"Damn it celestia I told you once that im not in love...maybe a little" she muteered to herself then got dressed for bed and thought back to when we kissed. "Although that kiss was rather nice" luna said before closing the curtians and going to sleep.
