Chapter 3
The Advent of Justice

The following day after bringing the stallion to her castle, Twilight was deep in her books trying to reference the image of the being on the chip. She was trying to see if it matched any beasts or monsters in any of the tomes that she possessed. But sadly for her she was not finding anything in any of her precious books. Frustration marred her face as she continued to pore over her books hoping to find something. She let out a yelp of surprise when the door behind her slammed open admitting a small purple baby dragon.

Spike rushed into the room having been the one to slam the door as he called out,"Twilight hurry. The new guy is waking up." He was waving his hands frantically at a loss for what to do.

Twilight snapped her head towards him at this information and wrapped him in her magic as she darted for the door,"Thanks for telling me Spike but we have to get back to him now."

She had completely forgotten that she could teleport in her haste to get to the stallion and her surprise that he was finally waking up in the first place. She didn't believe that he could be left unattended right now as he could still be dangerous. She rushed through the halls of the castle doing her best not to crash into the walls as her hooves made frantic clopping on the crystal floor. She only hoped nothing happened in the time it took her to get from her library to the guest room where the stallion was at the moment.

It was now 9:00 of the following morning of his arrival here in the land the stallion had only ever watched and dreamed about in his previous life. He was finally waking up from his shocking ordeal the previous day that had drained him of all magic and energy. With a groan his mind was now half awake as he moved his hoof lazily about in the air.

He groaned out,"ugh why do i always leave those stupid drapes open. Now I have to get up and close them if I want to go back to sleep." For indeed light was spilling forth from a window right across from his bed.

Spike was also in the room at the time and with a gasp dropped the comic book he had been perusing in his boredom. "Oh my gosh he's finally waking up," he said startled.

One of Brandon's ears twitched as his mind woke up a bit more as he sensed someone else in the room,"Who's there and how did you get in my house? I'll call the police if I have to."

Spike backed up,"Ok. Something has got to be wrong with this guy. Must have hit his head a bit to hard or something. I'd better go get Twilight." With that he ran out of the room in haste slamming the door behind him.

As the door slammed Brandon bolted upright completely awake from the loud sound his mind going into overdrive as he looked around wildly. He looked around the unfamiliar room and the objects within as the events of yesterday finally caught up to him. The memories slamming home in his head as he grunted in pain and rubbed his head.

"Ouch. Must have knocked my head a bit to hard yesterday. There is no way this can be a dream because of all the pain I'm feeling right now," he groaned rubbing his head some more.

Looking around the room yet again, he spied a dresser located straight across from the bed on the opposite end of the room underneath the window letting in light. He saw a wooden door set into the wall to the right of the bed he was on presumably leading to a closet. A crystal chandelier hung overhead gleaming with brilliance as the light of the sun played across it. A wool rug sat underneath the bed that he was sitting on while a book case sat on the wall to the left of his bed. The bed itself was a feather mattress of some sort with a grand drapery over the bed.

He looked down at himself to see if he was completely intact and sighed in relief when he saw that he was. He looked down at the device on his leg as he muttered,"A lot of good you did me yesterday you stupid machine." He shook his leg a bit still wanting to get it off.

Of course it didn't come off at all and he looked to see if he could at least find the satchel that he had yesterday. Again sighing in relief he spotted it on top of the dresser although it looked like it had been opened recently.

He slid off the bed carefully and walked over to the satchel to see if anything had been taken from it. He nosed the flap of the bag open and took a look inside. Nothing apparent was missing from the bag as it was still filled to the brim with the chips. What he did notice was different were that four of the chips now held images and words when they did not before.

He tried to pull them out of the bag with his hoof but his hoof didn't grip onto anything as he grumbled. "How the heck are hooves supposed to grab onto anything?"

He tried a few more times to use his hooves to get the chips out of the bag and succeeded. But there was the cost of dumping a whole bunch of the chips all over the top of the dresser with a loud clatter. Luckily the chips that he wanted had landed close together so he could see the images and read the words.

The first of the chips bore an image of one of his favorite dragons from a game meant for all ages. The dragon in the picture was none other than Spyro the Dragon. And no it wasn't the original Spyro it was the second generation Spyro who's games consisted of just a trilogy. He just liked to refer to this Spyro as TLOS Spyro. The wording underneath the picture of the dragon read,"Warrior of Convexity."

Snorting at the picture he said,"Great so I now have another of these chips that I don't know what to do with. Yet it retains the image of one of my favorite video game characters of all time." He didn't hear the sounds of frantic hoof steps getting closer.

He looked at the other chips noticing that one of them bore the image of Twilight Sparkle. The wording underneath her image read,"Twilight Sparkle, Mage of Harmony". He smiled a bit at that while imagining himself a mage in his head.

The third chip bore an image of one of his favorite anime characters. The image of a teenage human boy with Japanese heritage smiled up at him. It was Kirito from Sword Art Online and he was holding his signature twin swords in the image. The wording underneath this image was,"Kirito, Master Swordsman of Aincrad".

The last chip is what drew him the most at the moment for it held the image of a being he knew but felt no certain love or hatred towards. It held an image of the legendary Pokemon Keldeo with writing underneath reading,"Keldeo, The sword of Justice".

He blinked in confusion and wished that he could pick up the chip to get an even better look at it but his hooves just wouldn't cooperate with picking things up. He pictured in his mind what it would look like if he could use a hand to pick up the chip and hold it in front of his face. With that his horn glowed with an an aqua colored aura as the chip was enveloped with a magical field from his horn.

He blinked in surprise letting out a,"What the heck?" which caused his horn to stop glowing and the chip on the desk stopped glowing. He frowned for a moment before grinning,"Cool I'm a unicorn so I can use magic like they do in the show. I just have to learn it first."

With that his ear twitched as the sound of the frantic hoof steps reached his ears and he started to turn towards the door. As he was turning the chip on the desk he had enveloped with his magic glowed with its own light and floated up into the air. It slipped itself into his device with a soft click without him noticing right as the door to the room slammed open. A panting Twilight Sparkle stood in the doorway heaving as she looked at him in surprise. Spike was on her back with wide eyes having held on for dear life as Twilight ran.

Twilight's mind raced with questions she could now ask the mysterious stallion only to notice the spilled chips on the dresser top. She then looked at his device to notice a chip slipped in and shouted at him,"Get that thing out of your device. I don't trust you with it."

Brandon frowned,"Uh what are you talking about?" He looked down at the device only to notice that one of the chips was now in his device and that the chip he had in yesterday was gone,"Huh?"

Twilight stomped on over to him and bumped her nose into his as their horns were just an inch from connecting as she shouted in fear and anger,"Just who are you? What are you? What is that thing on your foreleg and what are those small devices?"

Brandon backed up with a little fear in his eyes from Twilight's rage as he stuttered,"I-I-I'm a hu-unicorn." He managed to catch himself before letting slip that he had been a different creature entirely. He didn't feel now was the right time to tell her he had been a human being. His mind raced frantically as he thought of a name.

Stuttering again he managed to answer her first question,"I'm Soul. Shattered Souls. But my friend's just call me Soul. And I don't know what this thing on my foreleg is." He said this last statement honestly and with sincerity as he truly didn't know what it is.

Twilight frowned angrily at him but backed off for a moment having heard the sincerity in his voice and believing that all of his statements for the moment were true until proven false. She asked in a more calm voice,"Can you please answer my last question?"

He nodded hastily as he spat out the lie,"I don't know what they were. I just came across them on a journey I was taking. If you don't mind me asking who are you?" He appeared to be nervous on this last question even though he was brimming with excitement.

Twilight blinked and then face hoofed as she replied,"Sorry. I was being rude. I'm Twilight Sparkle the princess of friendship. Welcome to my castle." She sighed as she looked at him,"Me and one of my friends came across you as you battled that Timber wolf yesterday.

A look of confusion crossed Brandon's face as he scrunched up his muzzle,"Timberwolf? I only remember being chased by some wooden creature out of that crazy forest yesterday and then everything after that is a blank."

Twilight's face shifted to one of thoughtfulness as she contemplated what could have happened yesterday. She voiced her thoughts out loud,"Hmm it could have something to do with that device on your foreleg. It must have activated instinctively to protect you the wearer. It must have some kind of intelligence to it because you spoke to us yesterday before you fought it after you had transformed. It must have been speaking through you and your magic."

Brandon blinked and frowned,"Magic. But I don't know how to do any magic."

Twilight looked shocked and yelled,"You don't know how to do magic? But your a freaking unicorn for crying out loud. How could you not know how to do magic even the most basic?

Brandon frowned and rubbed a foreleg with one of his hooves absently as he quickly though of something he could tell her. Coming up with something quickly he said calmly and in a sad voice,"I um. I lived somewhere where there were no magic users. So I never learned any magic." Which was technically true as earth had no magic at all.

Twilight went silent for a moment before scuffing the ground with a hoof and replying quietly and abashedly,"Oh sorry. I didn't realize."

He gave her a pained look,"Its fine. I'd rather not talk about it right now."

She nodded her head as her ears flicked at the sound of something approaching the window. With a loud crash the window in front of them shattered and shards of glass spilled all over the ground as Rainbow Dash burst into the room frantically shouting,"Twilight we have trouble. Some kind of weird dragon has appeared outside of Ponyville."

Twilight wrapped Rainbow in her magic as she pulled her down and closer away from the shards of glass. She had shielded herself and the other unicorn with a shield spell instinctively as the glass rained down on them. She glared at Rainbow,"Rainbow you broke another of my windows. This is the 4th time this month!"

Rainbow frowned,"Twilight that's not the issue right now. We have to go take care of the dragon."

Twilight frustratedly asked,"What does the dragon want?"

Settling down Rainbow replied,"The dragon is demanding gems and bits or else he'll smash the town into pieces. But what's weird is that the dragon is a dark grayish color with what looks like a broken tusk coming from the side of his mouth while another is coming from the other side looking like its made of ice. And it has this weird tail that seems broken somehow."

Brandon's ears perked up at the description as he gained a thoughtful look. Inside of his head he thought,"That sounds an awful lot like Kyurem from Pokemon. But how would a Pokemon from that universe end up in this one. Duh the same freaking way that I did. A freaking portal is probably the cause of his being here and he's trying to adjust to his surroundings."

Rainbow continued,"He actually hurt a couple of ponies including AJ. She's in the hospital right now being's treated for frost bite of all things and her back leg is in bad shape because of it."

Brandon's eye twitched as he continued to think in his head,"Ok, maybe not adjusting. More like trying to make a domain for himself to rule. He probably thinks all the ponies here are easy prey. Well I'll teach him otherwise. I'll teach him he can't be a great big bully. I will see justice done." This last thought activated the chip within his device as the screen lit up.

Twilight stopped talking with Dash as she has been as he thought and looked at him and the device and said worriedly,"Oh no its activating. Can you shut it off?" She was looking him in the face but saw that his pupils had disappeared leaving a blank look on his face.

The screen on the device said,"Synchronization rate with soul......100%. Magic flow steady. Time for use of form without exhaustion.....30 minutes. Soul Unison program ready."

Brandon's hoof reached up and touched the green button as his voice sounded out with a weird echo,"Soul Unison Activate!" He was enveloped in the ball of light and with a shout the ball shattered to reveal Brandon looking different yet again.

His coat had changed to a nice aquamarine color and his horn had changed to look bigger and more styled. A helmet running down his head with styilized eyes on the the top over his own eyes. The eyes inscribed on the helmet looked like they belonged to keldeo and the helmet now held a longer mane in place that was now a sea blue. Metal hoof guards connected with Brandon's hooves all gleaming with a silvery blue and greaves colored his legs stylized with waves. A gleaming sheathe embedded with sapphires was attached to the side of a pair of military saddlebags on his back. The handle of a sword sticking out of the sheathe.

Twilight backed up a bit and asked,"Who are you and what have you done to Shattered Souls?"

Brandon's pupil's had returned but they were now an icy blue as a voice came out of his mouth sounding youthful and happy,"Name's Keldeo and he's just sleeping for the moment. I'm a sword of Justice and I'll see Justice done if it kills me. Let me take care of the dragon. I know who it is." With that he turned towards the window and jumped out of it.

Twilight ran to the desk and window heedless of the glass shards on the ground as she shouted in fear,"Wait don't jump we're to far off the ground." Only to get a face full of water as she sputtered.

The form of Brandon called back to her as water jetted from the bottom of the hoof guards on his leg's,"Sorry about that. Been a while since I did this." With that he jetted to the ground on the water and the galloped off towards the giant dragon visible in the distance.

Twilight frowned and looked at Rainbow Dash,"Come on Dash we have to help him."

Rainbow frowned and flew over to her,"I don't know Twi. Your kinda bleeding right now. You did just step in glass."

Twilight looked down at her hooves which were cut and bleeding as she groaned in frustration,"Ok you go on ahead. I'll catch up."

Keldeo finally arrived just outside the town where Kyurem was. Kyurem was just about to bite down on a pony in frustration when Keldeo called out,"Stop right there Kyurem. I won't allow you to hurt anymore of these creatures. They've done nothing to you. You're just being a great big bully again and I won't stand for it. I'll see justice done for the innocent that you've already harmed."

Kyurem roared and turned towards Keldeo,"Who dares challenge the mighty Kyurem? I'll freeze you where you stand." He blinked in surprise as he recognized features of Keldeo on this strange ponyta type creature.

"What is this. You bear features of Keldeo yet you are not him. Who are you and what makes you think you can challenge me?" He was really angry now as he roared this out.

Keldeo grinned as he replied,"Cause I am Keldeo you stupid worm. And I stand against you because Justice is on my side." With that he drew his sword which was beautifully styled with depictions of waves and the other swords of justice upon the blade itself. With that he readied himself for battle.
