Canterlot

After having a day to himself, Zero was getting quite bored being in Canterlot. As he walks through the city, some rich folks there were looking at him and mumbling. News of the incidents that happened in PonyVille finally made up there and how he’s being blamed for those since violence is on a rise right now. Ponies are being kidnapped, robbed, and murdered. He looks up at the many ponies that were talking about him and glares at them slightly, making them look away and going back to their business.

He takes his box of cigarettes and scoffs as he only had two left. He lights it and takes a big puff and blows it up into the sky as he heard someone coming towards him as he turns his head to see Twilight who somehow found him, “What’s up Twilight?”

She looked up at him and smiles softly, “Nothing much just wondering what you were up to.” She notices his bored look on his face, “What’s wrong? You seem bored.” Most ponies only dream to coming and staying in Canterlot, but Zero just seemed out of place and looked tired of everything.

He doesn’t say anything for a while as he continues to look up at the sky, sighing softly to himself. “This place is nice yes. But, I’m just tired of seeing the same old things… only new things are the sirens and the violence. Maybe it’s just me since I do miss the whores, pimps, crackheads, wanna-be gangsters, and drug lords.” He stays silent for a bit as they continue to walk through the city as Twilight watches him take another puff of his cigarette, blowing out the light gray smoke. “This place is just too peaceful for my liking. Am I happy to hear some crime is happening? Sort of since I know that most of these crimes have been caused by some of these so-called elites. Because being wealthy has its perks, but also its downfalls.” He then stops himself from saying anything else as he remembers how his father’s company started out.

Twilight really wanted to write some of this stuff down, but she wanted him to trust her more as she looks at his hand, grabbing it gently as she held it. Zero looks at her, confused as to why she was holding his hand, “You know you can tell me anything right?”

“I’m not stupid Twi… if I tell you, or anybody else about me, you’ll just run to Celestia and tell her like the good little puppy you are.” He snatches his hand away from hers, earning him a frown. “Where’s Spike?”

“He went back to PonyVille…”

“Cool. I guess I’ll see you all when you’re done hanging out here. Later.” And with that, he heads off to the train station, bumping into a rich pony named Fancy Pants. He apologizes and continues on his way, not noticing his wife staring at him.

He gets to the train station and buys his ticket as he waits for the train to arrive. While he was waiting, he a call as he looks on his phone to see it was Blueblood. “What is it?”

“Ahh, Zero my good friend. Been awhile since I talked with you.”

“What do you want Blueblood? You never call unless it’s important.” Blueblood has been giving Zero well deserved information about everything that’s been going on in the city and around the world, but lately he’s been silent for a while, especially when it comes to his money.

“Well I called to tell you that this will be your last paycheck…”

“What was that?” Zero’s anger and agitation could be heard through the phone as he tried to keep his temper in check. “What do you mean my last paycheck?”

“It’s not you Zero, believe me. It’s just that aunty’s been acting strange lately… like she’s always asking me why I send you money, she beefed up the guards, she’s always looking at that chained door, and she and aunty Luna are always heading in their secret basement. Look, I made sure I sent your money to Spike to draw a bit of attention away from me, but right now, I’m on my way to stay with an associate of mine in Kirna till this blows all over.”

Zero sighs, rubbing his temples as he felt something was wrong but he didn’t know what to think of it yet. The train finally arrived as ponies spilled out of it as the conductor steps out, ringing her bell. “NEXT STOP, PONYVILLE!” She shouted.

“Alright dude… be safe out there alright?” Zero gets up and heads into the train, taking his seat.

“You too, bye.”

Zero hangs up the phone and looks out the window, seeing a couple more ponies board the train and getting in their designated seats. The conductor then comes by to check if everyone had their ticket as he shows her his as she clips it and moves on. He yawns, getting comfortable in his chair as he slowly shuts his eyes, snoring softly.

The Nexus

Kiryu was meditating, his eyes closed as he breathes in and out trying to enjoy his time alone. It was quiet in his part of the Nexus as the birds chirp and sing; the wind was calm, and it was so peaceful. That is until he heard a grunt behind him as he turns his head slightly to see that Zero was face first in the ground, “Hello my apprentice. What can I do for you today?”

Zero rubs his head and heads over to his master, “Meh, nothing really. I fell asleep and I guess it brought my conscious here.” He smiles and playfully punches his shoulder, only to hiss slightly in pain. “So what were you doing before I got here?”

“Well I was meditating and…”

“Hey Uncle Kiryu! Do you want herbal or green tea?” Zero turns his head and sees none other than Aria walking out of Kiryu’s house as they both lock eyes and glare at each other.

“WHAT IS SHE/HE DOING HERE?!” They both shouted in unison as they both spark up their fists. Before they could fight though, Kiryu shocked the both of them by striking them both down with a lightning bolt.

“There shall be no fighting unless it’s training! Do you both understand me?” Kiryu’s eyes flashed red as he glares at the both of them, waiting to hear their answer as they both say okay. “Good… also tell Sonata that I would like herbal, please and thank you. And please wake up Adagio before I have to.” Aria nods, sticking her tongue out at Zero as she heads back into the house as Zero just looks at Kiryu.

“I didn’t know you were related to the sea bitc… I mean witch in there.” He quickly stopped himself from saying bitch as Kiryu just raises an eyebrow at him.

“We’re not related…” Kiryu saw Zero about to say something until he cuts him off. “Just like you there are some things I like to keep to myself, but since you are my apprentice, I shall tell you. Yes, I am Adagio, Aria, and Sonata’s uncle. Known them since they were just babies as their father and I go way back.”

Zero nods, understanding everything as he looks at the house and back at his master. “Where are they from exactly? Because Celestia mentioned something about a Siren Empire somewhere in the ocean.”

Kiryu stayed silent for a bit as he puts his arms behind his back, looking up at the sky. “I can’t say much about it since I made an oath to not say anything but I will say this… what you did when you fought those three could’ve been bad for you. Their mothers were, agitated, with you hitting their little girls as any mother would. Their father though…” He chuckles softly to himself as he looks back Zero, “Let’s just hope you never meet him.”

Aria came back out with Kiryu’s tea as she bumps into Zero, smiling up at her uncle. “Here you go!” She looks back at Zero, glares at him and walks away, “Ape…”

Zero scoffs, “Bitch…”

Aria grinds her teeth as she breathed in and out, sitting down on the stairs, mumbling and grumbling as Zero and her glare at each other.

Kiryu sighs as he takes a sip of his herbal tea, “If you two enjoy staring at each other, maybe you should kiss…” He smirks as he saw how flustered and angry Aria got while Zero just scrunches up his face. Kiryu just laughs as he places his hand on Zero’s shoulder, “Ah, thanks for coming Zero and making my life so easy… but it’s time for you to wake up.” Before Zero could say anything else, he disappears into thin air as Kiryu heads over to Aria and gives her head pats as he heads into the house and yells at Adagio for sleeping the entire day away.

PonyVille

Zero gasps for air as he looks around, seeing that he just woke up in time as the train stops right at the station in PonyVille. He stretches out as he heads out the train car, yawning and making sure he had everything as he calls Spike to find out where he was. While he was walking, some of the females lustfully looks at him, batting their eyes at him as this slightly confused him and was about to shrug it off till one of them comes up to him. “Thanks for the fun time last night…” She kisses his cheek and slips her phone number in his pocket and walks away.

His eye twitches as a small blush appears on his cheek. Before he could say anything though to the female, Spike answers the phone, “Zero?”

“Spike… question. Why are all the females acting strange towards me?”

“Wait… if you’re calling me. Then who in tartarus is with me right now?!” Spike shouted through the phone.

“Wait what?!” Zero shouted back as he sees in the distance that the tree was rebuilt as he quickly makes his way over to the treehouse. Thinking to himself, it couldn’t be, as he busts open the door open to see Spike looking at him with his phone in his hand as he hangs it up. “Where is he?? What did he look like?”

“Well he looked like you but is the complete opposite of you and he doesn’t have your cool scar. Also I think he’s in the bathroom.”

Before he could say anything, they both heard humming coming from the livingroom as Zero heart pounded as he slowly walks into the livingroom. Standing right in front of him was Vector who was looking at the books, not paying attention at all as Zero got a bit teary eyed and drops his phone on the ground. “¿Vector?”

Vector jumps slightly as he slowly turns and faces his twin brother, both of them looking at each other. “¿Víctor?”

Spike just looks at them confused, not understanding a word they were saying until he remembers the conversation that Zero had with him and the girls about him having a twin brother. Zero then walks up to his brother and hugs him tight as he felt Vector wrap his arms around him as well in a tight embrace, happy that they were back together as he kisses his brother cheek and smiles happily at him while trying not to cry. “Pensé que te había perdido...” Zero said, checking over his brother to make sure he wasn’t hurt or anything.

“Oye... soy mayor, así que debería ser yo quien diga eso.” Vector said as he was so happy to see his brother alive and well. “Traté de llamarte pero solo fue al correo de voz... pero me alegro de que estés vivo.”

Before they could say anything else, Spike gets their attention by coughing slightly to himself. “Speak my language, not you guy’s language. Also, who’s Victor?”

Zero and Vector look at each other and laugh to themselves, forgetting that Spike was still in the room. “Sorry about that one Spike. And Victor is my real name, I just like being called Zero because people on our world kept mixing us up, so I came up with Zero…”

“And I came up with Neon.” Neon said as his arm was still around wrapped around his brother’s neck.

“That’s pretty cool. Like you guy’s super hero names or codenames when you guys go on super, secret spy missions… but why Neon though?”

“Because I am the One.” He said as Zero slaps him upside the head, “Ow… what was that for you meanie?”

“The only reason you got that codename cause of that one incident. By the way…” Zero starts jabbing his brother’s side hard as Neon tries to stop him but can’t. “As soon as you get here, you want to stick your dick in everything! Now all these mares think it was me who fucked them!”

Neon snickers while trying to push back his brother but just couldn’t as he was laughing his ass off, “If they offering their pussy then hey…” He gave him his usual cheeky grin, putting his hands up like he was innocence. “Brutha gotta do, what a brutha gotta do. Plus, free pussy.”

Zero’s eye twitches as puts his hands up in a choking motion as he pounces Neon, both of them rolling around on the ground. Spike just watches the two and snickers to himself as the both play fight as Neon manages to break free from Zero’s grip, running full speed out the door as Zero was close behind, deciding on not to use his abilities to catch his idiotic brother who was, back on earth, way faster than him before he got his upgrade. “You fast, but you ain’t fast enouuuuugh!!” Neon shouted as the ponies look at the two humans running around town into the park as Neon juked past Zero as they both run around a tree, panting softly as Zero still tries to attack him. “Back up… I’m a feminist! I will tell the court you raped me!”

“Who would want to rape you?” Zero said sarcastically as he still tries to grab Neon.

“Hey! This body is flawless…” He poses in the most manly way possible as Zero just rolls his eyes. “Everyone want’s a piece of me. I even kept one of my creepy fan letters to prove it.” He pulls out a old note in his pocket and shows it to his twin brother who slaps it out of his hand. “Hmph, rude… you know what? Screw this. It’s hot, I’m tired so I’ll take the ass whooping.” He sits down on the ground, breathing heavily as Zero punches his shoulder softly and playfully.

“You know I only care about you and don’t want you catching anything from these anthro-ponies… plus from what I saw, they don’t have condoms, so you better had used protection on fucking those mares.”

“Hold up… they don’t have condoms?!” Neon asked, looking shocked.

Zero just rubs his temples and looks at him with a stern, father-like, glare. “If you catch something… knowing we’re the only jackasses here. We could die we catch something if we’re not careful.”

“Well that one guy is having all the fun, and he ain’t catch nothing.”

“What guy? Who are you even talking about?” He looks at him, confused by what he was saying.

“Can’t say, plus these easter eggs are kind of wack if we keep putting them out there.”

“Easter eggs?” Zero then places his hand on Neon’s forehead to check if he had a fever. “Maybe I should take to the doctors cause you’re doing that thing again.”

“What thing?”

“The thing.”

“You talking about this thing…” Neon does his cheeky grin. “Or this thing you pervert.” He was about to pull down his pants to show his manhood, but Zero stopped him just in time.

“No not that thing you freak. I’m talking about when you randomly start talking nonsense to yourself.”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about. I’m just speaking the truth about these easter eggs… hmm, maybe we could do one more though before Arc one’s finale…” Neon rambles on to himself as Zero just looks at him like he was crazy, waiting for him to finish his rant.

“You done?”

“Yeppers. Also, what is there to eat around here? I’m starving!”

“Well my annoying brother, there ain’t no pizza joints, no papi store, and none of those burger joints on those corner streets. Just sweets, fruits, and salads.” He smirked as he saw the shock and horror in Neon’s face as he starts punching the ground.

“Damn you! Damn you to hell!”

“Oh jeez man up. And please, don’t start doing the movie references… you drove me crazy when we were kids.” He helps up his brother up off the ground as they talk about the adventures they had and the crazy things they saw and did.

“So you have lightning powers now? Like Static Shock or the Flash?”

“Yes… and before you say anything, I’m not saying that.”

“You will one day though.” Neon smiles and flicks his forehead.

Zero smirks and flicks them back as he sees Spike with the girls in front of the treehouse as he wonders how they got there so fast till he remembered they could teleport, “And who are these babes? Friends of yours?” Neon asked.

“Friends? No, only Spike and this robot dragon named Kiryu, they cool. Aquantinces? Most defiently.” Zero said with his hands in his pockets.

“I dig it… wait. Robot dragon?”

“I’ll let you meet him one day. He’s the one who's been teaching me to sort of control my powers, but I am learning a few new tricks from him.” Zero sees the girls coming up to him, looking at the both of them confused. “You guys got here quick.”

“Yeah, Princess Celestia had a meeting with us about the incidents that happened. Nothing too serious.” Twilight stated as she continues to be absolutely bewildered by the two Zero’s in front of her.

“It was really boring, but you know… being the Bearers of the Elements you have to go to those sorts of meetings.” Rainbow stated, her hands behind her head as she had her usual smug grin as Applejack and Fluttershy, mostly Applejack, was unusually quiet as they really didn’t look at him or his twin. “So who’s this?”

“Would you like to do the honors?” Zero asked.

“It would be my pleasure…” Neon said as he looks at the beautiful females in front of him. “Hello ladies, I’m Neon… Neon Blade. I’m Zero’s awesome, handsome, good-looking, lady mans, playboy twin brother.” He stated, wrapping his arm around Zero’s neck.

“Wait Wait Wait. You’re telling us you're the brother that Zero has been talking about ever since he got here.” Rarity said looking between Zero and Neon.

“You’ve been telling your friends about me. Aww, you do care about me.” Neon as he kisses Zero’s cheek as Zero pinches him.

“Wow, you two are identical. Same face, hair, nose, ears, same body structure, and you both sound the same. The only difference is that Zero has a scar over his right eye.” Twilight said.

“I want to know who's older out of the two of you.” Rainbow Dash said.

“My bits are on Zero since he’s so mature and such a gentle stallion. Unlike his brother.” Rarity said as she batted her eyes to at Zero.

They all agreed that Zero had to be the eldest twin because of his attitude. Neon just started snickering as he looks at his twin, “Well, unfortunately I’m not the eldest twin.” Zero stated.

“WHAT!” They all said in unison.

“That can’t be true... right Applejack?” Fluttershy said as she and the rest of the girls looked at Applejack.

“He ain’t lying everypony.” Applejack said as she stared at Neon. Everyone was surprised that Zero wasn’t the eldest twin as Neon just laughs at their shocked faces.

“Yep, it’s true. I’m the eldest twin by about forty minutes.” Neon said, still snickering away.

“How’s about we head back into the house to get to know Neon?” Rarity said as they all agree and head in.

After hours of questioning, night fell as they decided to have a sleepover as the girls slept upstairs, while the boys slept downstairs. Zero couldn’t sleep as his brother was cuddling him as he frowns, trying to push him away. Once he did, Neon starts cuddling Spike as Zero just chuckles to himself as he gets up and heads outside to feel the cool breeze and to look up at the stars as he sighs peacefully. He looks around and sees a few ponies out and about, enjoying the night just like him as he then gets that strange feeling again as he looks where he feels the presence and sees nothing there.

As soon as he turns his head slightly in front of him, he felt something sharp and hot close to his neck. He slowly looks down to see Aria, a electrical aura completely covered her hand as it formed a blade-like weapon as she glares up at him. “What do you want?”

“I came to talk…” Aria said, removing her hand away from his neck as she relaxes her body and her hand goes back to normal.

“Oh? Not going to try and kill me?”

Aria scoffs and folds her arms underneath her breasts, “No.” She sighs, looking around as she looks back up at him, their eyes meeting as she saw he was waiting on her answer. “Look alright, I hate you, you hate me. But since you and Uncle Kiryu are cool… I guess we could use your help in taking down Celestia.” She looks up at him and before she could say anything, he grabs and pins her against the wall and gets in front of her. “Hey!”

Zero covers her mouth to shut her up as the ponies walked by. It looked like he was just kissing her so they didn’t ask any questions and continued on. Once they were gone, Zero hisses in pain and sees Aria biting his hand as he pinches her cheek to let go, which she did. “That’s what you get.” She said, having a smug grin on her face.

He scoffs and still had her pinned against the wall, “Why do you want to take her down? You always talked about it, but never explained.”

She a light pink blush formed on her cheeks as she looks away before looking back up at him, “You… you wouldn’t understand.” She then felt him gently lift up her chin before she could look back down as her blush increased.

“Then make me understand.” He told her as he looked into her eyes and noticed that she was blushing.

Before he could say anything, he heard someone eating popcorn as Aria and him both turn their heads to see Neon enjoying himself a bag of popcorn. “Oh come on. It was just getting good.” Neon said as Aria looked confused as she looks at Zero and his doppelganger.

“There’s two of you?!” She said a bit loud as Zero got off of her and slaps his doppelgangers popcorn out of his hands.

“If you ain’t hitting, can I hit first?” Neon said before getting pinched by Zero.

“You ain’t hitting nothing till you go to the doctor, just in case. Plus, you know how virgins are…”

“What the hell is that supposed to mean?! Just because I want my mate to be respectful and treat me like a queen.” Aria said, blushing in embarrassment by being called a virgin as Zero and Neon looked at her and back at each other.

“You right… still, their pussy is nice and tight and sometimes clean if they treat that area right.”

“You’re absolutely right. But the other thing I hate about virgins is the bleeding.” Zero stated.

“I know right. Like, looking down while hitting from the back or while in a mating press and you see blood covering your…”

“I AM RIGHT HERE YOU KNOW!!” Aria yelled, stopping Neon from finishing his sentence as her face was as red as an apple. “You two would be perfect for Adagio and Sonata you sick perverts!”

“I’m more perverted than him. By the way, name’s Neon. What’s your name beautiful?” Neon said as she tells him her name, as he does his usual cheeky smile. “Also how old are you? I mean you look…”

“I’m one thousand and twenty-one years old. She banished me and my sisters in 2011 to the human world.”

“Damn… hold up. What year is it?” Neon asked, wondering as Zero also wonders what year it was on this world since he never really asked Spike or the girls.

“It’s 3011.”

Neon whistles as he looks at Zero, “You didn’t tell me your girl was one of those hot-ass, long-living elves from those shows.” Neon said, only to get shocked by both Zero and Aria, shutting him up as his hair was frizzed up.

“I’m a siren! Not an elf!!” Aria shouted, growling at how idiotic Neon was as it reminded of her of how annoying Sonata was.

“Alright, we’re getting off topic. Now tell me why do you want my help?” Zero asked, turning back to face her as they both look at each other.

Aria calms down a bit as she fixes her hair, breathing in and out as she looks back up at Zero. “There are many things you don’t know about Celestia and what she did after that human left that scar…”

“You know about Slade?” Zero asked.

“I only know about him because of the stories my father told.” Aria stated, remembering the story that her father told her before bedtime. “Anyway, ever since she banished her sister to the moon… she acted different. I guess without her sister around she could truly do what she wanted…” She rubbed her arm, remembering the screams from the captured female sirens being taken away. She growls to herself remembering meeting Celestia and telling her what the pirates were doing, but doing absolutely nothing. “I want to tell you more, but it’s just too dangerous for me being out here.”

Zero didn’t know what he was getting into as on one hand, he could careless about what happened and continued to do him. But on the other, this could affect him as well as she has been a bit strange around him and the girls were barely around him as they were always with her. He thinks about and looks to his brother for help, who just shrugged, not knowing anything as Zero looks back at Aria. “Fine, I’ll hear you out.”

“Thanks… I guess.”

“Where and when do you want to meet?” Zero asked as Aria tells him to meet her tomorrow in the Nexus as he agrees. Once they were done talking, Aria looked around to make sure the there was no one around as she speeds off into the Everfree as Zero looks to where she went. He then felt a tap on his shoulder as he turns to Neon giving him his cheeky smile, “What?”

“You’re totally gonna tap that aren’t you?” Neon told him as Zero flicks his forehead and comes back inside to sleep. Neon chuckles to himself and falls back to sleep as well. Unknown to both them, Twilight heard their whole conversation as she placed an invisibility spell on herself. She looks at Zero and sighs, heading back upstairs as she writes a letter to Celestia.

Author's Note

This is the halfway point everyone. From now on, things are just going to get crazy for Zero so stay tune for that. Also I decided to make a timeline of events that happened before Zero arrived so you guys could get an idea on what happened because stuff from the actual show still do happen, but differently because of how the canon portrayed their timeline of events. It'll be possibly in my blog once I finish it and I'll announce it in one of the upcoming chapters that it's finished.

Comment down below, like or dislike if you'd like and I'll see you guys next chapter.
