Clad That Forge Creation And Hearts
Episode 2 - Mended Mare, Our Token and Lessons
Previous ChapterNext Chapter'Wha?' I questioned voicelessly.
The darkness moved out of my sight with my eyelids. I could see light reflecting off the ground that I was on. I couldn’t help but smirk at the sight. I never thought I’d be so happy to be nearly blinded by a sunlight glare. I audibly sighed.
I was breathing again. I could hear sounds again, even if it was just a cross-breeze. I was alive! I chuckled like a school girl. I could even hear the sound of my own chuckling.
“Wait…” I paused. My eyes narrowed.
I did sound like a girl.
'This requires some investigation,' I thought. It appears that I'm in someones bedroom. That sunlight had actually been a lit candles. Corners of curtains are ripped and creaks and squeaks from the chandeliers being old and never been taken care-of.
Used one arm to prop myself up while hugging my stomach. I stop, my hand feels soft, smooth skin? My eyes wondered at one hand that supporting me up, as I stared at my unregistered appendages; I examine it with a bit curiosity as I can feel the texture with my other hand. A bit smooth for a males skin. 'I've seen Links hands and this isn't it. What is going on here?'
Looking at myself, I'm shock from seeing my present form.
My skin shown in a few places, some belt like protective shoes and wearing some red cloth material outfit. From up a bit at my torso an onyx breast plate that's a bit tight but not enough to prevent my movement. To top it all off, few strands of hair hang over my view are white as snow. 'I-I-I'm Illyasviel!!!'
As I continue looking at my new-form; I came to realize the differences between Illya and I. I'm more teenage age, more sexy and Illya in archers outfit is a bit bigger, but slim and firm in most of my figure. My breast are developed, size of a full grown melons if I had to guess, and it only exposed little from above and in my view. I look more like Illya's mom if shes teenager then Illya's. 'At least I know that she would look like her mother at least in a mere future. Why am I think'in of that right now? Am I going nut or am I having a meltdown again?'
I would have scream like a girl, but my ears pick up sounds of high-pitch hoof-steps behind me and something dangerous trigger my six sense. "Don't, move." A girls voice threatens.
I gulp, I did as she said and not move. "I-I'm not an enemy. Honest!" I may know how to fight, but, I still get scared you-know. And feeling magic being ready to cast from behind me is not helping my moral and sanity.
"A likely story." My unknown senses telling me that this girls eyes are looking at my feminine figure up and down.
I usually ignore it since i'm not that interesting to look at. But it's, different... From this stare to usual ones back home, maybe she's measuring me up. But why? 'Is it because I'm usually a boy and not a girl before and since I am one that I feel uncomfortable...' My mental mind shook. 'No, that can't be the only explanation, I'm a girl.. and saying that sounds pretty weird.' my mind jump on another conclusion. 'Maybe shes more into boys like others, but at this rate, I feel like I'm wrong in so many ways. Hope I'm not her interest.'
I just thought of something that I didn't even realize until now. I'm completely weaken in this state against a magic user, not knowing this forms structure or abilities and weaknesses. Being in this body, with a similar feeling to Wolf Links form, it feels strange.. and a bit off and dangerous if not know your own body. 'Knowledge IS the key after all... or was it 'memory is the key'? I need to watch 'Red VS Blue' again, I don't think I remember it well... if I survive that is.'
Hearing sounds come'n upfront; my mind jump out of my daze. A lavender alicorn that I remembered as Twilight Sparkle(Who I never met in real life before) walk into view, standing in-front of me.
Her eyes shows stern and accusing, yet shows authorities and hunger for some delightful relief... Wait, 'Why do I feel like I don't want what she wants?' She came up to me with her movements displays what couples do in bed as her body slither closer! My face flush and got warmer as I watch her round curvy flanks sway on purpose.
'Is she in heat right now and tried to turn me on!..' Getting my eyes attention around her flanks, an erosion between my legs got warmer! 'Woah! Uh W-well; i-if she w-wan-' Mentally shook my imaginary head and mentally slap myself from an unexpected hormone instinct and back on focus and willpower. 'No! What am I thinking?! I can't do something like that to her!' Though my thoughts have return; my feminine body is more active, more around my breast an' in-between my legs. 'But she wants clos-' Another mind slap. 'W-what is wrong with me!?!'
Before I can say anything, weight push me downward an' flatten over magenta blankets. Twilight has gone on top of me with one hind hoof pinning one leg down, preventing any escape. Her bed eyes and heavily breathing in heat have proven my theory, shes gone Succubus Internal Instinct 'Or SII for short.'.
I have to think of something and quick before I or her go heat diva out of instinct. 'What can I say that would snap her out of it?....OH!' "I've been sent by The Displaced Lords in aiding those that live here. And hope in meeting the ambassador of this land!"
'Great plan dummy! I know there are stories that's rewritten by Pen Dragon on that topic. But-Oh wait, THEY ACTUALLY EXIST YOU MORON!!'
Mind click to four. 'Aren't we all morons ever since he imagined us?'
My brain click to line six. 'Don't think on that Mind Four! And three, Just do what you were told and stop say'in stuff that makes you look like a fool.'
At least it work, her eyes turn back to that young mare(If you can even call her that by how long she lived) and not in a sexual trigger, she look at me curiously but stern. "Your sent here.. looking for an ambassador, of our country... and sent here, as reinforcement?" I wouldn't call it that but yeah.
'I wish I don't need to lie, but...' I nod to her question. "We were called in from your Princess to come and aid... But my transport has crash landed on another planet and needed a long time for repairs. But I came as fast as I could. But.. it seems, that I have failed to come.. before, well, this." 'Please take what i'm saying...'
Her eyes widen in hope. But her thoughts have cut short as seeing herself standing over me. My back press on top of- what I assume; is her bed. Flatly lay over it, my arms and legs spread across.
Flustered; and shock in realization. Twilight, realize what she was about to do to me. 'OH NO. I, I was going to force her to-' Light from her horn dim and dispersed immediately, moved her hooves and body off me. She look away in embarrassment as her face became flushed red.
I sigh quietly in relief, but my thoughts keep imagining her mounted me and my cheeks turn bright red. 'Damp those imaginary fantasies! Why do you haunt me so.' I sigh mentally as I mentally list this as a 'List of thing to check up on and FIX'.
I shuffled my new found leggings, sitting over my legs with my knee as support, like what the Chinese do. Was it Chinese, or was that Japanese? 'I hope I can look that up. Until I find a book about it.' Seeing her have no hostility, I can finally get a better look at her.
She has iron colored gauntlet-like horseshoes for both sets, armored chest plate thats connected to a saddle-like armor. Her body wasn't a librarians figure, underneath her lavender coat are muscular yet hidden with none to show if you don't have the eyes to see. Her mane is still has navy-blue mane up to her flank with hot pink and indigo stripes. And lastly her clear, magenta eyes all moist.
"Yes. But I've been having a little difficulty in finding them..." I asked in confusion. "Do you know?" I never got my answer.
She stammered to her hoof, look into my eyes. Below her eyes are damp fur thats getting wet from river of tears. "P-p-Please *sniff*... please, help us*sobs*!" Shock hits me, I can imagine how she feels, no; I KNOW what its like, and it hurts me so to see others in that much sadness.
I lean in and pulled her in an hug, surprised her from my unexpected act, yet warm embrace. She place her head on my breast plate, tears let loose and sobs heavily breathing. I hear her crocked voice that's muffled out. "Shh shhhh its okay, its okay.. let it all out."
I couldn't help but glance down at her. Shes look up at me like a young Innocent child hoping that their elders know on what to do, must have felt myself moved at some point.
At first thought, I thought of her as a magical talking pony with immense magic pool. But when I looked her in the eye, I see a caring, lonely, sad, scared little girl.
Before I even realize it, I gave her a motherly smile. Minutes past since I let Twilight continue her sobbing in silences that I've gain a beautiful smile from her, that made me smile.
After a while of whimpers and mopping settled down, she fell asleep soon after. I had been laying beside her while her head lay over my stomach; laying on her side. Twilights soft breathing being heard.
I kept my expression with so much satisfaction, seeing her peaceful sleep. But then, it occur to me, this feeling. My expression in confusion is written all over it. "Wait... why am I..." Whispered to myself. Right arm place a hand over my chest where my heart is. Fearing for worse, I concentrate and started diagnosis on any chances of memories and sense of self!
Scanning Selective... ... ... ... ... ... ..14% ... ... ... ..29% ... ... ..33% ... ... ... ... ... ..64% ... ... ... ... ... ..85% ... ... ... ... ..91% ... ... ... Diagnosis Complete. Condition: Only slight nerves and body changed structure.
I sigh, at least its not bad... Except for my male hormones in a females body! I quietly and sarcastically said. "Greeeaaat, now I have to deal with sexual instinct, already don't have a girlfriend. And, not only that, but I need to a-just to this body for a day before I can unlock my real body and turn back before my hormones kicks in."
I looked over Twilight's sleeping form. I couldn't help but smile drowsily, I yawn. I'll deal with it later. I lay in bed with my back toward Twilight and wait for sleep to take hold. Maybe, feeling this, isn't so bad. Except for my sexual instinct. Before I knew it, I fell asleep.
(Next Morning)
Mental time has rung and time to get up. Slowly opened eyes, still a bit tired from yesterdays events. Running and fighting, not to mention mental trance can really put you through the ringer. At least I'm not having sex desires anymore! "*Yawn*..." My first reaction is looking at straight where light breathing's. Right where i'm laying, in front of me, is a sleeping form of Twilight Sparkle. Move my head over to peck over her horn like how a mother does for their child and got up.
During my two hours since I woke, and Twilight waking up a five minutes after; we did a little bonding. It was difficult, I told her a bit about my biology like my species... well that's it really. She shows less trust in me, and I in return. I understand her reason of distrust even I don't trust others unless my instinct tells me and it's likely 86 percent chances of others to trust.
I was outside stretch'in, didn't want to have another cramp like that time with Bobo The Wizards crazy immobilize spell. I'm telling ya, that spell works wonders in video games when you use it, but annoying to hell when your the prime target.
Clip-clops coming from behind me tells that shes outside too. Still stretching, I said cheerfully. "Good morning dear!" I use 'dear' in a song pitch, I've always want to say that.
Confused in my happy mood she asked. "Why are you so chipper?"
"Well~, have I ever told you about who I really am and what I look like?" I ask, already know that she knows since I told her hours ago.
She nod. "Your appearance is different then what you are now, and more of a male figure.... right?" Waited for any correction, I nod. "I still think it's impossible for the very least."
I shrug, we were walking in Ponyville. Isolated with only one pony here and a human. "Yeah but its true."
"Yeah and you said and I quote; 'sent by The Displaced Lords to aid' and you LIED to me.-"
"I panic, It happens when someone points a spell or weapon at ME with unknown intents! And I spat out the only thing that I can think of that sound reasonable."
"That's no excuse to lie! You should have been honest with me... instead." Her voice croak. Realization clicked, honesty remind her of an farmer mare-whats her name... Applejack?
"I guess.... but," I turn around got ready to try. "your about to see me for what I'm really am." Twilight stop, looking at as if her face said 'prove it' and I will; right now.
As the feeling build up, I look at Twilights face to see her un-amused. Before I knew it, a quick flash came and gone and her expression change from disbelief to gape in mere seconds. Right in front of her is not of a girl figure; but a man figure.
A midnight blue sleeveless shirt with a zipper from top to bottom, its like a jacket. Barely covering my face, left collar gotten shorter until theirs nothings left on the right. The left, lower front body of the shirt is a bit more over my pants as the right gone. Left arm covered in a long; gray sleeve that's attached to some sort of cloth that muffles the mouth, useful to keep the sand out of my mouth! From waist down, is a navy blue jeans with a medium samurai plate that covers the entire right thigh and a black shoes.
My eyes are red, slit eyes, except for my right, which is pale pink; slit eye. My white as snow spiky, comb hair that hangs over my right eye.
Shock shot through her, unwilling to move for the fact of this act. It stare back and grin cross his lips before speaking. "Told-ya!"
"Bu-but wha-"
"It's best you don't ask."
She wanted to protest but best not to push the question further. She didn't want to have another brain-boggling situation like on Pinkie Pies Pinkie Sense. She start trotting ahead and I follow shortly.
We walked in silence, not ask'in any curiosity about one another. Shes been questioning herself since we stepped outside and I've got an idea. "I have a plan!" I spout excitedly like the old days. Gaining her attention I resume. "Why don't you come with me to other versions of your world!"
She gap, mouth wide and barely touch the ground. Used her hoof to lift her jaw back in place and said. "What!" Her voice whispered and squeak at once.
"Lets go to other worlds as a quest." I received a punch on the shoulder.
"NO! I want my friends back! Not journey to another places and replace them!" Twilight shouted. Stomping her hoof to point out her frustration. I think she may have taken my idea on the wrong thinking train.
"I never said replace. All I'm saying, we need to get stronger and hope to get more allies to help us." I point at the Everfree Forest. "That place is now filled with unknown monsters that even you don't know. Heck; even I don't know every enemy either."
"We'll just take that risk, I'm not gonna wait and have fun somewhere else while they are all in danger!"
"And how are you going to defeat an enemy thats completely immune to magic or worse everything that we currently have.. Sorry but risks should be reserve for a LAST resort. Besides; we're only gonna be gone with no time past when we're out somewhere else..." Lowered myself down; raised her chin up to look at me in the eyes. "I just want us to be strong enough to beat whatever thing that gets in our way! Just trust me."
Without wait'in for her respond, I open my palm and will myself to create an item. In an instant, a strange orb with grid marks and two symbols; one on each sides that has Twilights Cutie Mark and my mark that has two swords that cross like an X and a cauldron behind the swords with a droplet that shines with a ripples of halos falling in. "I want your friends to be safe too. But we have to get stronger first, even if its only a little... I need your trust. Can you trust me?" The moment of truth, will she trust me; or not.
Confliction shows on her display, decide'n on whether she would trust me. 'What he said makes sortof sense, and he said in my point of view would be that time won't continue if we're away...' She sigh. 'If theirs no alternative,' Twilight slowly raise her hoof and touch the orb, she look up at me in confusion. "How does this work?" Her voice is uncertain if this is worth, but it helps on our trusted relationship.
I smile. "We'll use this orb as our Summoning Token, next we pore some of our energy into it," She understand what I meant as her eyes squeeze tight and so did I for thirty second before opening them. Seen a lavender aura on Twilight flow into the orb and my white light aura with a tint of dark serpents follow suite. "Second thing to do is decide how for it to open either an action or say some words..."
"Since your an expert on it; you do it."
I nod, tapping my chin for a while. I then had an idea, and whisper the idea to the alicorn princess which gave a node of approval. I clear my throat before chanting my parts as we speak our lines.
I started. "We wish to be wielded by those who have pure hearts, Call our power with your will! I, God of Creation; Kye Belmont,"
Twilight did hers. "And I, Knight of Harmony; Twilight Sparkle,"
Both said in union. "Will be their as your Union Heart of Twilight!"
As the orb shimmers, a rift opened up and I place it in. Minute later, it created countless copies and I snatch ours as all of them scattered through out dimension. Alicorn look up to me, asked. "What now?"
I shrug. "We just wait for them to drop their token here or they call for us. Until then, lets get some practice in since i'm not use to fighting as Illya. What do you say?!" We start walking towards the empty meadow.
"Yes, it would help our progress."
We're clashing swords at this point, swing translucent blades at each other or dodging one another's attack. "Alright. Lets do this from the top." I turn back to myself before I continue. "What we know so far, is that they follow Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts battle style, except with a few features change a bit."
I explain this to Twilight once before about what a 'video game' is. Then 'TV's', since she only saw it for a short time. Said alicorn took a stance and shows ready. "Let's see what we can do!"
"Battle System Initiated" An unknown thought pop in our head for the start of our spar match.
Twilight first thought on what happen was a tutorial screen just pop out of nowhere? 'What is this? "Tutorial".. Like a guide! Perfect!' She instantly scrolled through displays of pages of writings and pictures on what their talking about. Looked through it in perception and calculation, she check everything it point out; and summarize her known 'States'.
"Okay. Now his." Twilight whispered, she glance at mine, in hope of seeing it.
She was right about it. She can see it, but can't believe how mine is.
Kye Belmont
HP=6 Bars Total=???
MP=???
Weakness=???
'Well at least I can rely on guides!' Slight disappointed and shock, disappointed that she really need a 'Libra', 'Scan', or 'Sonar' abilities and shock for my stock of HP's, it surprised her!
Minute later, she leer at my features closely, taking in everything she sees from every detail.
I stood in a crouch position with my God Arc(Blade Mode) blade point forward with it behind me and held it aside, with my empty hand held sort-of close to the flat part of the blade.
A single edge blade thats at least my height, silver edge with black frame covered the rest.

Two things where the guard usually is is two extra parts. Diagonally away from it is a mid size barrel that resembles a cannon with silver here-and-their and rest is black frames. Second appears to have some hard materials, made to take more hits.
"Okay. Here I come!" She start by running up towards me before casting a couple of "Spark" spells at me and turn to her right and a bit away and once again, shot more magical sparks. I stood in place, not showing any panic or unease as every shot hits with dust clouds grew more and more as each shots contact. Pick-en up dust clouds, Twilight waited to see her success in getting all her spells through! Her thoughts of a human on their knee with only three to two bars of Health left.
As dust disperse, what her thoughts were; shattered. Her expression turn to shock, disbelief, conflicted, then confuse in that exact order.
A magenta, seven petal flower and me behind it with one arm held out. Its so humongous that it covers more then me with seven barriers thats place from small upfront to the biggest in the back. "RHO AIAS!"
My left hand is empty with no blade in sight and in an instant, another one appears with a double edge blade with a longer handle.

"Here I come." I speak serious and sprint at her with spear beside me. Twilight horn glows and a barrier surrounded herself as I thrust my spear forward with it raise and collided, as sparks fly.
'*NEIGH*, What is this! He just thrust once and all-of-a, *ugh*, sudden he hit me with a powerful thrust and it went through my shield!' Twilight try to understand this predicament. 'Did Kye change his weapon for this purpose?!' She push it aside. 'Well, he can make anything he wants all he wants;' She ran around me and casting a bit stronger 'Sparks' that actually hit me this time.
Only for me brushing off my shoulders in ease. Like it was nothing but mist passing through! 'Wh-What! What is going on HERE!'
I shook my head. 'We got a lot of work to do.' "You can't harm me with spells, Twilight." I said plainly.
"Ye-Yes I can! Why else would you raised your shield earlier when I hit you."
My head shook and sigh as I raise one finger up as if counting. "Rule number one. Don't underestimate your opponents. They WILL use decease; and deception on you, even if you leave a sliver of confidence or distraction..." Lift another finger with my first, adds to two. "Second.. You should NEVER rely on your magic all the time. It not only get predictable fer your opponents, but you will get tired out from magic exhaustion in battle."
Glancing at her for only to see her writing down everything I said in very high details on a notepad with quill. I didn't mind it, it feels like I'm the teacher and shes my student. But I do wonder where she keeps getting so many! If my memories tell me anything, she either buys a lot from Quills And Sofas, or from something else. 'I'll have to ask her about that some other time.'
"Oh right! I almost forgot, its best to get more Intel's on enemies and allies you meet. Just in case." I said, but remembered something. "But in battle, just memories them until your safe." I immediately added, as a warning. She nod and after a few more minute later; we continue on our training.
She started not with a spell, but with her front-hooves instead. I'm impressed that shes take'n my rules serious! But I didn't let many through with me weaving and thrust with my God Arc. But she did the same, without use'n any magic at all. 'Heh! Maybe this will help... At least a little.' Seeing lavender alicorn getting tired already, I took a step back.
She breathe heavily as if she never fought with her own bare hand, or hooves before. I took this moment to think out her role in battle. 'She's definitely not a melee fighter but definitely a caster. Now, what should she focus on. Support? Clerk? Black mage? or maybe balance?'
Twilight gasp for air between her words an' plead. "Can we*gasping*go home..and*gasping*wash up?" Took a glance at her and see sweat that soak most of her form. Myself felt wet an' a bit sticky here and there also.
I look over the sky and saw the sun setting. "Yeah... It's getting late, and, we need to be in tip top condition." She nod and she when off as I stood their for a bit longer. Seeing her out of sight; I only breath in an' sigh. Scratching on my head in thoughts. Can we do this? Can we survive to even bring them home? "I may be a god," Looked up to the sky for what felt eternity. "But even I'm not sure... if I can save them..."
Unbeknownst to me, one pony has been listen in. Twilight's ears pull back at hearing me saying that. 'For a god; he doesn't trust in himself...' She snuck away with her mind wonder in thought. 'What happen to him?'
