The return of a legend

Changeling hive/Ponyville

For an hour the queen, scarlet and I looked on maps they had made of the badlands. From what they had shown me there was only one place they could be. To the north, there's an underground cave system that could fit the dragons. I looked at the queen and scarlet. Scarlet looked like she was at me with worry. I raised and eyebrow and spoke up. "Scarlet what's wrong this entire time you've been quiet. Do you not like the plan or is there something else you don't like about it?"

"No, It just well why do you have to go and fight them? I mean you came here to take us away from the badlands. So why do you have to fight them? Can't you just trap the like you did king rex?"

I sighed and locked eyes with her. "That's not an option scarlet. Theirs two reasons. One if I use the void again I can't teleport us the whole have at once. Two If I do it will only prolong the fight. The void is not going to last forever. The seal is getting weak it will break sooner or later. When it does the dragons seal in there will get out and bright death to this world again."

"Well can't you just make the seal stronger? Or maybe you can trap them in the cave until we can leave?"

I was about to say something but stopped I could just trap them. Or I could shield the mountain and teleport us away. I put a hand under my chin and started to think. I could use a shield spell to keep the dragons at bay. It could give us the time I need to teleport us all. I looked at them and smiled. "I think I know a way to do just that. If I can get a shield up and hold it up."

"Then we all can escape and get out of the badlands."

Scarlet finished my sentence and smiled widely. She ran around the table and tackled me to the ground in a hug. I hit the back of my head and shot back up. Scarlet still had a hold on my chest and was sitting on my lap and pushed her face into my chest. I rubbed the back of my head and looked at her. I thought about and scratched behind one of her ears. She jumped then leaned into my hand. She started to purr and pushed more into my hand. I saw her tail swinging back and forth. I smiled as the queen walked up beside us. I heard her laugh and I looked up at her.

"Seems like you baby is all grown up. Well, at least she's got good taste in males. Maybe one day this hive will have a new king."

Both I and Scarlet jumped at what she said. Scarlet pulled her head back and yelled at her.

I was loving whatever Saber was doing. But after I heard my mother's words I wanted to make a point. I grabbed his head and pulled him into my chest. "Mother! Be quiet and leave us alone!" I felt a pair of hands on my shoulders. The next thing I knew I was on my back and saber was looked down at me with fear in his eyes. He was also holding the center of his chest. I saw my mother raise an eyebrow when she saw this.

"Sir Saber why are you holding the center of your chest?"

He looked at my mother and back to me. "Ya Saber, why are you holding your chest?"

He looked uncomfortable and looked away from us. I got off my back and onto my knees and looked at him. "Saber why are you holding your chest?" He wouldn't look us and when he got up and started to walk to the door. I stood up and was about to run over to stop him. My mother did that for me.

"Does it have something to do with the scar on your chest Sir Saber?"

He froze as he reached for the door handle. He turned and looked at my mother with anger.

"Now you two listen and listen good got that? That scar is not your concern so never bring it up again."

Both I and my mother flinched at the anger in his voice. I slowly started to walk over to him. "Saber why are you so mad and what scar is my mother talking about?"

So she did the scar on my chest. It still burns when I think of her. Thinking of it now the love I lost. Just before the ancient war started and life was good. But I can't hold onto the past forever can I? I brought out of my thoughts by scarlet's voice.

"Saber what's wrong!"

I looked back to her. She was in front of me and with a scared look on her face. "Oh sorry, I was lost in thoughts of the past."

She put her hands on my chest plate and looked up at me.

"Is it about the scar on your chest?"

I balled my fist and looked at her. I sighed and now that they know about they'll only ask more about it. I sighed and looked at the two of them and walked over to the bed and sat down. "Ok let me guess if I don't tell you you'll only keep asking right?" They nodded and walked over and sat on the bed beside me. "Well, I'll have to talk about it sooner or later."

"Well sir saber how did you get the scar on your chest and why did you try so hard not to let anyone touch it?"

I gulped and let out a slow breath. "Ok back in the age of Fuast I meet a young dragonees. After a few months, we fell in love. But One day after I became the element's master and the war started. One day a small dragon hoard attacked. I killed them and me and her when home. But when we got home the town was gone. That day was the first time I had to fight a class two dragon. I fought it and won. But My love was angered at me for killing more of her kind. She slashed me across the chest and flew way in tears. I laid on the ground until Fuast got there and healed the wound. She even said she'd take the scar away. But I told her to leave the scar. I don't know why but I just couldn't bring myself to lose the scars I got that day. Not too long after that I turned myself into a weapon and gave up on ever finding love again." I laid back and looked up at the roof. "But I've come to learn that some have taken a liking to me. Sure their nice but I don't know if I can love again." Scarlet laid down beside me and looked into my eyes.

"What are you going to do then saber? Are you just going to spend the rest of your life alone? You must want more out of life. A wife may be a family you must want something right? Surely you have something to keep you going. A wish maybe or a goal to fight for?"

I laughed hearing all this again. " I guess I have a wish but with what all I've done it will never come true. It's too far out of my reach now." I closed my eyes and slowly breath in and out. After a few seconds, the queen started to speak.

"What is the wish you can't reach Sir saber?"

"Ok One please stop calling me Sir I'm only twenty-two. But back to the wish. I wanted to have a family with her but now I can't now can I?" None of us said anything and just stayed on the bed till a knocking came from the door. Scarlet and I got back up and looked at the door. A voice came from the other side of the door.

"My queen the hive has heard the peace bringer is awake and wish to meet him."

I smiled and sat up. "Well looks like your hive has taken a liking to me your highness." She and Scarlet laughed as I got up and walked over to the door and opened it. I saw a guard and a small group of children with him. The boys were in old shirts and jeans. The girls were in black and green dresses. They looked at me like I was a dream come true. A few of them walked up to me and touched my armor. I saw one little girl in the back of the group holding on to a teddy bear and looking at me. I got the feeling something bad had happened to this girl. I walked over to her and kneeled down to look at her at eye level. "Hello sweetie what's your name?" She looked at the ground and then to me.

"It's sunny peace bringer."

I smiled and patted her head. she smiled and looked up at me and held out here bear. I smiled and reached pasted the bear. I picked her up and stood up and put her on my shoulder. The other kids looked up at her and waved up at her. I saw her smile out of the corner out of my eye. I looked at the kids then heard Scarlet's voice again.

"They seemed happy to see you."

Scarlet walked up beside me. She looked at the filly and smiled.

"Of my, it seems that a hatchling is on your shoulder. Hello, the little one I see you meet the peace bringer Saber."

After she finished talking she wrapped her arms around mine and looked at the kids. The boys looked at us and looked like they were going to be sick. But the girls looked at us with stars in their eyes. The little filly on my shoulder pulled on my ear. I looked at her and smiled. "What is it sweetie do you want down?"

"No, I wanted to know if you and the princesses coltfriend."

Scarlet and I looked at her in shock. I turned and saw that Scarlet was blushing and looking at her hooves. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Just like Twilight I've only known her for two days! How do I keep getting these mares to fall for me?! I looked back to the filly and smiled sheepishly. "Well, no sweetie I'm not."

"But why not you're the one who helped our hive."

"Well yes I did help when the hive was in trouble. But well I don't think me and the princess couldn't be a couple. She the princess of this hive and I'm not even a member of your hive. Besides, theirs are two mares back in my hometown waiting for me to come home." Not a second after I said that I felt the armor on my arm tighten a little. I looked to see that Scarlets had a green glow around her hand. She was crushing my arm upper arm armor in her grip. She got into my face and stared into my soul.

"You didn't say that you had two mares interested in you. Also, what do you mean we couldn't be a couple?"

I managed to get my arm out of her grip and got the filly off my shoulder. I didn't know if I'd have to run or not. She started to yell and poke my chest plate as I backed up.

"Now you listen to me, Saber! You better not have two other girls after you and if you do you better tell me right now!"

She didn't stop yelling till her mother stopped her. Lucky for me too I was against a wall.

"Ok, Scarlet I think that can wait we need to get ready to leave the badlands."

She looked back to her mother and then to me. She leaned in and whispered into my ear.

"Your lucky Saber but once were alone again we're going to have a long talk. Am I understood Saber?"

"S-sure thing Scarlet." She smiled and walked away. I dropped to the ground and breath a sigh of relief. Then I was disappointed in myself. I fought and killed armies of dragons. I got back up and heard laughing. I turned and saw the guards and kids laughing. "Ok that's enough of that so why don't you all show me your hive?"

Scarlet Pov

I walked along side, my mother. But my mind was on Saber and how two other mares were after him. I thought I was the only one after him. But now that I think about it makes sense he's kind and can bring a smile to your face. I looked down to my body. I looked at my stomach, breasts, and legs. For a changeling, I was drop dead gorgeous. But he said that we couldn't be a couple even if he's not a member of the hive. Or maybe it's something else? "Does he just not like me like that?" I mutter the words out.

"Did you say something Scarlet?"

I froze and looked back up to my mother. "Um yes, mother."

"Well, what is on your mind Scarlet. is it about Saber and your competition?"

I looked at my mother and raised and eyebrow. "What do you mean competition mother?" My mother covered her mouth and laughed. Her laughter died out after a few seconds. She looked at me and smiled and started to talk.

"Oh, my sweet Scarlet you have so much more to learn. There are two more mares after Saber. You need to make a move soon. He has two other mares after him. So you need to do something. Do you understand what I mean?"

I looked back to the ground. "I know what you mean mother. It's just I don't know what to do. I've never tried to get the attention of a mate before. So I'm flying blind what do I do?" She looked down to me with her evil smile. I knew I just doomed Saber and myself.

"Oh, all you have to do is be the one to fix his broken heart. If you're the one to fix it. It will belong to you and only you. So if you can get him alone then make your move."

I nodded and smiled. "ok mother I'll get him alone one way or another so don't you worry." She smiled and let go of my shoulder.

"Good now, why don't you go find him and take him somewhere you two can be alone."

I smiled and hugged her. "Thanks, mother I'll go find him now."

Saber Pov

I followed the kids around the hive and seeing all they've built. I found that they lived off underground water and food they scavenge from the desert. Most of what they find is cactus fruit and fish from the underground water. Many of the adults were smaller than me only coming up to my chest. But most did as the kids did and looked at me with hope and joy. As we walked I saw that guard I saw two days ago. I could still see the anger in his eyes. I don't know why but I felt that I couldn't let him near ponyville. I'll have to deal with him before I teleport the hive. I felt someone touching one of the open spots on my armor. I looked down and saw the little girl from before. I kneeled down and looked at her. "What do you need sweetie?" She looked to the right of us. I looked over to the right and saw a female changeling looking at us. She had short dark green hair. She was wearing an old pair of tight black jeans with a black shirt with green stripes.

"That's my mommy."

I looked over to her and waved. She waved back and smiled. I stood back up and saw Scarlet coming from a crowded part of town. She was looking around my guess to find me. Don't know why she'll looking so hard I'm taller than everyone else. I looked down to see the kids running to their parents. I looked back to see that she spotted me and was walking over to me. She was smiling as she got closer to me. I gulped and stepped back. She saw that and walked faster to me. I held my ground and was ready to hear her yell. But when she was In front of me she didn't. She looked up at me and smiled. I smiled back at her. I could hear voices and see kids and adults looking at us. I rubbed the back of my head and looked at her. She grabbed my hand and started to pull me to the castle. She pulled me into the castle after a few minutes of walking. She pulled me through the castle halls. I looked around and saw no guards. I thought about where the guards were as she pulled me to a pair of large doors. I looked forward and saw her opening the doors with her magic. She pulled me through the door and closed it. She stopped pulling me and looked at herself. I looked around the room and saw it was like the queens. There was a large bed in the room and a walk in closet. I looked back to Scarlet to she still looking at herself. I pulled my hand free and looked at her. "Scarlet is this your room?" She looked from her body to me and smiled.

"Yes, It is. I brought you here because I want to talk to you in privet."

I raised an eyebrow at her. "Ok well now that you've got me what do you want to talk about?" She looked at me and then blushed and looked away. I looked at her for a second then I remembered that twist did the same when she gave me that card. I started to slowly back up. But I stopped when she looked at me with her eyes full of hope.

"You see I think I've started to have feelings for you. But I have to know do you like either of those other mares?"

Yep, I knew it! Back in faust era, no mare would be near me. Now I have three after me. I looked at her and didn't know what to say to her. So all I could do Is looked at her. She looked back to me in silence waiting for my answer. I need to give her an answer. I didn't know what to say to her. "Well, I don't know what to tell you. I never really thought of looking for love again. But I can say that I want to try again. But to answer your question no I don't like them like that." She smiled happily and tackled me back onto the bed. She looked down at me and smiled at me.

"Well if you'd like to try again I'd be happy to date you."

I was looking at her with a smile. She started to lend forward and closed her eye. But before our lips could meet a roar rang out and her door was thrown open. Her mother was on the other side and was looking at us.

"We'll talk later, for now, the dragons are here we need to leave now!"

Scarlet jumped off me when she heard her mother. I jumped up and ran out of the room. I ran out of the castle and saw the guard rushing the civilians away from the front gate. I grabbed a guard as he ran past me and looked at him. "Take me to the gate." He looked shocked but nodded. We ran up to a large set of gates. They had set up boulders to help keep the gate closed. "Guards get back to the city I'll handle this!" They looked at me and then back to the gate on a very hard hit. The started to run back to the city. I turned back to the gates. I used the elements to create a barrier on and over the gate. "That should hold until I'm done." I turned and ran back to the city. As I ran I could hear the changelings were yelling for the queen to help them. I ran around a corner and saw the whole city in front of the castle and scarlet and at the gate looking for me. I used the elements to fly over to them and touched down in front of the crowd. “Ok listen up get anything you want to bring with you I’m going to open a magic gate to my home town. When you got what you want to bring run through the gate!” The looked at me then started to run around and started to get food and other supplies. I turned and saw the queen and scarlet looking at me. I walked over to them and pulled them into a small circle. “Ok you two listen to me when I open that gate I want one of you to find twilight spark and tell her saber sent you all there. I’m going to stay till I know everyone made it through.” Scarlet looked that me with fear and grabbed my arm.

“Saber what are you going to do?”

“I’m going to stay here in case they get through the gate and my shield. But for now I have to open the gate and get ready to run through.” The elements left their place and moved three to each of my arms. The moved down to my hands and they started to spin after a second magic sparks started to fly off them. I looked to the gate of the castle and opened my gate there. A black vortex opened and then I my tower started to come into view. A few minutes passed and I had the gate staple. I looked around and saw that the entire city was ready to move. I looked back to scarlet and her mother. “Ok you two go through first and look for the mare named twilight.” They nodded and ran through the gate after about five minutes Scarlet ran back through and yelled for the hive to come through.

Scarlet pov

I and my mother ran through Sabers gate and were in the middle of a town. I looked around and saw many ponies looking at us. I walked up to them and started to talk. “I need to see twilight saber said I had to speak to her!” They started to back away from me but a little dragon with purple and green scales with black jeans on and a white t-shirt. He ran over to us and looked at me.

“You know where saber is!?”

I smiled at him and grabbed his shoulders. “Yes but I need to speak with a mare named twilight. Do you know where I can find her?”

“Ya come on.” He grabbed my hand and pulled me to a tree. My mother stayed by the gate as I was pulled into the tree through a door. When I was inside the tree I saw a mare about my age. She looked at me and the started to panic.

“Spike what are you doing bringing a changeling here?!”

The young dragon didn’t miss a bet.

“She knows where saber is twilight!”

She looked at me and the jumped up and ran over to me.

“You know where saber is! Where is he is he ok?!”

I nodded a no and she started to hyperventilate. I pulled my hand from the dragon and grabbed the mare and started to shake her. “Calm down he’s trying to save our hive he’s got a magic gate open and has two powerful dragons trying to get in the kingdom. We need to get him and the other changelings through the gate. Saber said you’d help us.”

She nodded and we ran out of the tree and back to the gate. I ran through the gate once she told us the princess were on the way. I was back In the hive and saw the gates started to give way at the mouth of the kingdom. I looked back to see many of them scared. I started to wave for them to come on. “Come on it’s safe to come through!”

Saber pov

After the words left her mouth she stood beside the gate as the hive started to run through the gate. She would tell them that all would be fine and that her mother was on the other side to guide them. When the last of them were through my barrier gave way and the white dragon was trying to get through the gate. I looked back to scarlet and she was shaking. “Get through the gate NOW!” She snapped out of her and was back through the gate. I was about to go through when I heard crying it was coming from near the dragons. I used my magic to look over to near them and saw a small changeling holding a baby changeling. I looked to the gate and then to the kid. I pushed a large amount of magic into the gate to hold it till I could get the children. When I pushed enough power into the gate jumped into the air and started to fly over to them. The white dragon was almost throw the gate. I flew down to the kids and picked them up and shot back for the gate. I flew for the gate and I heard the sound of the gate braking and loud stomping. I looked back and saw the white dragon hot on are tail. I turned so the kids were sitting on my chest and started to fir magic at the dragon. I missed most of the shots but got a lucky hit on its front leg.

“Roar!!”

It roared as I flew us through the gate. I wrapped my arms around the kids and parsed for impact. When I was on the other side I hit the ground hard and crashed through a few things. But I made sure I took all the damage from them the hits. When I finally stopped I opened my eyes and looked down to the kids in my arms. I saw they were alright and I laid my head back on the ground and hear hooves.

“Saber!”

I looked up and see scarlet and a group of changeling guards around me. I saw the two in my arms looked up at me. I sat up and looked at scarlet and she smiled at me. “Can you find their mother or father?” She nodded to the guards and the left. I put them down and stood up and looked around and saw the changelings surrounding us. I felt the little one beside me push on my leg armor. I looked down to the see her holding the baby with one arm. Now that I was looking at the kid I could see it was a she and she was skinny like many others were. I bent down and picked up the baby and looked at it. This one was different from the others. It was a girl just like the other one I saved but her hair and eye were crimson. Scarlet looked at her and then gasped.

“A crimson that not possible.”

I looked back to her and she was just looking at her. “Ok what’s her hair and eye color mean scarlet?” she started to bit her fingers and looked at her. Before she could answer guards came back with a changeling mare. She ran over and dropped to her knees and wrapped the little girl in a hug.

“Amy you’re ok! But what about your sister where is sally?!”

I smiled and tabbed her shoulder. She looked at me and saw the baby in my arms.

“Sally!”

She let go of the little girl and tackled me and the baby to the ground. She grabbed the baby and sat on my stomach. “Um, miss can you please get off of me?” She looked back down and saw it was me she was on. She jumped back and I got up. I saw scarlet still looking but again was tackled to the ground.

“Your back!”

I heard twilight and spikes voice. Twilight wrapped her arms around my neck.
“Your finally back!”

I was getting real sick of being tackled to the ground. I turned my head back and looked at her. “Please get off before I throw you off.” She tightens her hold and locked eyes with me.
“Just try and throw me off this time.”

Before I do and thing twilight and spike were pulled off me. I looked back to see the changeling guards.

“The peace bringer asked you to get off. Besides We sure he and the queen need to find us a place to stay.”

I smiled and stood up and they let twilight and spike go. I saw scarlet looking at twilight with slit anger. I walked over to her and put a hand on her shoulder. She looked at me and I smiled and she calmed down. I looked back to see all of the changelings looking at me. “I have a place in mind for you all to live but I need a group of guards on me. Do I have any volunteers to go with me?” When the words left my mouth almost every guard raised their hand. But one was beside me I looked down and saw scarlets arm up. “Hell no scarlet.” She dropped her arm and looked at me.
“And why not you just used a massive amount of your power and if you pass out again I'll be there to help.”

While she talked I started to back way and she followed me. I looked at twilight for help and she and spike were laughing their ass off. But that all came to an end when that dame able colt and the princess showed up. Luan and celestia ran up to me and pulled me into a hug.

“Sir saber your back and you brought the changelings back.”

While she talked a unit of guards teleported in and the colt yelled for them to get the changelings. I forced myself out of the hug and put a wall between them and the changeling. I looked at him and he locked eyes with me. “Ok that’s it, you sorry colt get ready for the beating of a life time.” I summoned my blunt sword and he charged his magic.

“Bring it freak.”

He shot a bolt of magic at me and I hit it with the sword. The attack was sent back at him at double strength. I hit him in the chest and sent him flying. His back hit the ground and he slid back. He left a trench as he slid and I rushed him when he got up. I swung the sword and hit him in the side and knocked him into the air. I pulled my right back and filled it with my magic and punched him when he was close. He was thrown back and hit the wall cracking it. He coughed up a little blood and I sent the sword back. I walked over to him and picked him up and throw him to the to his guards. He opened his eyes and looked at me with hate. “Now you listen to colt. While there is breath in my body you will now touch them is that clear privet.” He pushed himself up and laughed.

“Ha-ha, you can’t take my rank freak.”

“Actually shining from the princesses letter he’s rank as the same as the princesses so he can.”

Twilight talked as she walked over and looked at her now very angry brother. He looked to luna and celestia.

“Princess celestia that can’t be true! I never expected for you to make the same foolish chooses as your foolish mot...”

Before he could finish I poured more power into my fist and lunged at him. When I was close I punched him in his right temple and knocked him out. I looked down at his knocked out body and sighed. I looked back to see twilight being held back by celestia and luna. I sent the sword back and walked over to scarlet and her mother. “You to and a group of you’re on me. Celestia luna you and the works who are going to do the power and water wait for me to get back. But as for the hive if even one of them is hurt I beat the ones who did myself.” When I said that the guards near the shield back way and looked at me in fear. I didn’t like that I had to scare them like this but they need to know the changelings were not to be messed with. I looked back and saw scarlet and her mother were waiting with what looked like twenty guards. “let's get moving I want to get a shield over you new home before night fall.”

“Ok, then saber let head out.”

Scarlet walked over and grabbed my arm and pulled it into her chest. I looked down at her and blushed.

“SABER!”

I jumped and looked back and twilight and twist were looking at me and they looked pissed. Scarlet, on the other hand, smirked and pulled me more into her.

“Well, you two must be my competition for his heart. I can see that my assets clearly beat both of you out.”

When she said that she used my arm to pushed her chest up and pushed her rear out. I looked at twilight and twist and they looked ready to kill. I need to end this before it starts I don’t need a warzone in the town. “Ok.” I pulled my arm free and looked at the guard around with their weapons ready. “You all on me were heading for the old castle.”
