"Come on girls." I said looking at them. "Come upstairs, I'll show you your rooms."

They all cheered with a "Yay!" before running upstairs. And they exited the home, right. Just like I told them 'sigh'.

"And who are you?" I heard Aathurnas say. "You are what? Snacks for me?." He chuckled. I ran upstair and I was ready to destroy the door and skin that dragon alive before a yelp came from him. I stopped curious and opened the door normally, then I saw the funniest scene I have ever seen. There he was, Aathurnas pinned into the ground from six little girls while they were all riding him. Meanwhile Aathurnas was trying to say something but Pinkie was on his snout blocking him from making any sound except for some grunts.

"Yuuhu come on fly!" Said Rainbow. "Fly, fly." Cheered the others. As amusing as the scene was I needed to show my girls their rooms.......

Maybe I'll wait a little bit though, that would be a lesson for him, don't eat anything sentient.

After ten minutes of cute torture I intervened. "Come on girls, release your prisoner." I said them.

"But we want to fly!" They replied. Twilight was flailing her arms in the air while saying that.

"I will teach you soon, for now come back inside." I said softly taking Twilight in my arms.

"Ok, thanks daddy!" They said, and hopped off of Aathurnas, heading inside. He had wide eyes and was looking at me fearfully.

'gulp' "They are your daughters, Master?" He asked scared.

"Yes, Aathurnas, they are, and you will defend them, play with them and if I see even one of their hair out of place...Let's just say that we will need to pick you up with a spoon." I said smiling at him with a full fanged mouth.

He nodded vigorously before re-entering his cave. I shook my head an entered home. "Ok girls follow me."
I took them on the second floor, then I assigned to each one of them a room. The rooms were all the same, so they could personalize them however they like.

"Girls." I called. They quickly exited their room and looked at me. Derpy though wasn't there. "I need to get out and do some business, mommy has to come too, so..." I pointed at Fluttershy. "Fluttershy will be in charge until we came back." The others groaned while Fluttershy 'yelled' a "Yay". "If you need anything, ask Aathurnas, he will help you." And said that I leaned towards Fluttershy and whispered. "Don't let them do anything too reckless, alright?"

"Don't worry dad." She whispered back. "I will make you proud."

I smiled and called Sunset. "Sunny! We have to go on a little trip, I'll wait for you outside." I reached Derpy's room and knocked on the door.

"Come in." She said. I entered and she was sitting on the edge of her bed, looking down.

"Hey Derpy, are you okay?" I asked her.

"Yes Phil... I'm...okay." She said sadly.

"Hey I have an idea. Do you want to see my palace in the hive?" I asked cheerfully.

"Y-yeah, I mean, it's better than staying here crying right?" She whispered.

"Then I'll call Xarx, he will guide you to the hive." I said

"You are not coming?" She asked.

"I need to do some business in the forest. Don't worry though I won't stay away for long, after that we will all visits the entire hive together. Tell me... What do you think of the girls?" I said to her.

"They are nice... Pinkie is my favourite so far, she talks like my mommy. The others, well, I need to know them better." She responded.

"It's okay, I'm happy that you got along with Pinkie, she is a really good friend. Now come on I already alerted Xarx, he will be here in ten minutes." She nodded and we exited.

After a minute, Xarx showed up and took Derpy to the hive. After a bit Sunset exited the house and asked. "Where are we going? Who will watch over the girls?"

" I made Fluttershy the one in charge, Derpy is visiting the hive and we need to go and create some guardians to defend the forest from intruders." I replied.

"Are you sure Fluttershy will rein them in? And are you sure that Derpy is safe?" She asked.

"Absolutely." I said, and we headed towards the edge of the forest.

"Oh my..." I thought watching Rainbow trying to reach the ceiling while flapping her wings. "Please Rainbow, it's dangerous..." I said.

"Come on Flutter, where is your sense of adventure?" She replied, flapping her wings harder, then in a quick burst she shot up in the air and hit the ceiling. Her head broke the wooden ceiling and she remained stuck in it. "Awww..." She groaned.

"Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh, daddy will be furious." I thought. "Rainbow! Are you ok?" I asked worried.

"Weeeeeeeeee" I heard Pinkie shout, she was running against the wall, then she walked on it, then on the ceiling and repeated when she returned on the floor. Leaving big holes where she walked.

"Pinkie! You are ruining the walls!" I said, but she ignored me.

"Mmmh let's see if I do this I obtain..." Twilight muttered before transforming our table in a watermelon. "Success!" She yelled throwing her hands to the sky.

"Twilight please, transform it back..." I said, but she too ignored me.

"This curtain could use some more style! Oh I know I'll do it." Rarity said ripping the curtains off with her telekinesis.

"NO! Rarity! The curtains!" I shouted. "Leave them alone."

"Hey look!" Said Applejack. "I can lift the entire sofa!" She said while lifting it on her head.

"Applejack! Put it down!" I scolded her.

More and more noise was forming inside the house, and more damage was being done. I couldn't take it anymore and I snapped.

"ENOUGH!" I shouted. they all stopped and looked at me. "STOP MAKING DISASTERS!". The girls were looking at me with wide eyes before going still and falling face first into the ground. They weren't moving anymore.

"No... What have I done?! I killed them? Nonononono... I need to find dad... he will fix this..." I grabbed them and positioned them on the sofa. "I'm sorry..." I said crying "I-I will fix this." Then I ran outside.

"Any ideas on what guardians do you want to create?" Sunset asked.

"Yep. Here I'll show you." We were now on the west edge of the forest, Ponyville was on the north one. I created a human figure with my biomass, it was completely black with red eyes, long arms and long legs. Its entire body was covered in cancerous growths making it more horror-like. It was three meters tall and four tentacle sprouted from his back.
"I'll call this, a spectre. This one is here to scare off anyone who wants to enter the forest without authorization."
The spectre was an hybrid between an enderman and the slenderman, it could become invisible, teleport and it oozed out of his body a chemical compost that causes hallucinations in the victim, also hearing it's scream would knock anybody unconscious, then the guardian will bring he or she, out of the forest. It was the perfect non-lethal guardian.

"Spooky." Said Sunset. "That's all?" She asked.

"Nope, I asked you to come with me because you will create more copies of it while I create the other type of guardians, I will divide the forest in three sectors. The first one will be patrolled by the spectres, the medium one will be patrolled by more lethal guardian, and finally the inner circle will be defended by the most powerful and lethal ones." I explained. "Now I'm going inside to create the others, make like a thousand of that, then reach me." She nodded and I took off.

I reached the middle circle of the forest and started to engineer my guardians. "Let's see, I need something that is both scary and dangerous, but what?....Aha, Lovecraft!" With an idea in mind I started to create the first one. An enormous beast covered in black fur, six meters tall with a mouth that opened vertically and that covered the entire length of the head. It's eyes were pink and protected by bones protuberance. It's arms were armed with incredibly sharp claws, also it's arms had two forearm, normally the gug didn't talk. But mine did.

"Master." It said in a deep male voice. "What are your orders?" He said bowing.

"You will protect me and my family from intruders, here." I gave him my memories of Sunset and the girls, the changelings and Aathurnas."These ones are permitted inside the forest, everyone else will die understood?" I commanded.

"Yes, master." It replied.

"Now wait here until Sunset reaches you, she will create more clones of you and... wait a second." I said and started to think. "Why don't I make them self replicating? I'll give them a maximum amount of copies so they don't cover the entire forest, and I'll have a semi-invincible guardian who can self-replicate. It's perfect!" I turned around smirking.
"I need to do a little modification, stay still." I reached it with my tendrils and started to modify it's genetic characteristics rendering it self replicating.When I was finished I saw it cough and then throw out of it's mouth a little copy of itself. "Perfect."

Then I created another Lovecraftian beast, I had a heavy fighter now I needed a quick one, so I created the ghasts. Bipedal abominations with a vague human face, completely white with white eyes, a skeletal frame and long acuminated claws, it had powerful legs to run fast, they will be stronger in groups.The ghast was tall as a little horse no more than one meter. All in all it was monstrous.

"I have to go now, spread around in the forest and defend it with your lives if necessary." Without awaiting for a response I went into the inner circle of the Everfree.

"Let's see. What is deadlier than a gug?Let's see what happen if I kick the mutation rate in overdrive and go at random." I thought, I created a mass of tendrils and as I said I augmented the mutation rate. After the tendrils got away I saw my new guardian. It was a bipedal creature covered in brown fur, a pair of antlers sprouted from his head, his hair were black and a complete mess, his eyes were a bright green that glowed in the dark, his mouth was tiny but filled with razor sharp teeth. His torso was covered in bark, multiple branches sprouted from his back, his arms finished with incredibly long and sharp claws, his legs were completely made out of wood, inside his torso a beating wooden core was visible before more branches covered it completely, hiding it. He was 1.8 meters tall. I'll call this one the Woodman.

"Greetings creator." He said with a bow. "I'm here to serve, what are your orders?"

"I want you to defend this section of the forest, what can you do exactly?" I asked.

"I can enter every tree and move inside the forest as I please, I can regenerate myself indefinitely if there is a tree in a kilometer around me, I can turn into ironwood and become extremely hard to kill. I can talk to the wild fauna and flora, I also can turn invisible. My weapons are this claws, my intelligence and my collection of poison and venom from nature itself. I can control the flora and ask it to block a passage or to attack an enemy." He explained.

"Marvellous, now wait here. I need to create three more guardians." I said, he nodded and I returned to work. This time though I got an idea. I created another mess of tendrils and when they retracted I saw my new guardian. A xenomorph, but a much more powerful one than the ones in the movies.

"Greetings master." She said in a feminine voice.

"Uh a female xenomorph, ok I'll go with that." She was like the xenomorph, she was taller though up to eight meters tall, completely black and armed with extreme strength and a powerful tail, her face however wasn't without eyes, they were tiny and black but they were there, also she was more muscular than a normal xenomorph, from her back ten tendrils sprouted out with razor sharp stingers that dripped poison, the poison at contact with the ground burned it and created a green smoke of death.

"What are your abilities?" I asked her.

"I can travel incredibly fast, also my armor is almost impenetrable, my poison is strong enough to corrode metals, my tendrils and tail can penetrate even the most resistant armor, my bite can crush a skull with ease. I can see in the dark and heat signatures, and I have echolocation. Also I would like to be called Regina." She explained. I nodded and said.

"Very good, now wait there with Woodman until I complete the other two." She nodded and went next to Woodman. I then created another guardian, this one would be a mystery like Woodman.

When my tendrils retracted, a humongous bipedal figure stood out. He was ten meters tall, he got four incredibly muscular arms, he was a deep red coloration with yellow glowing eyes. His mouth was nonexistent and he had a massive torso and powerful legs, the ends of each forearms consisted of a hammerfist, big enough to destroy boulder with a little movement. As I was expecting he didn't talk.

"Master." Woodman said. "He's saying that it's a pleasure to meet you."

"You can understand him?" I asked, and Woodman nodded. "Very well then, tell me what can he do."

"He said that he is incredibly strong, enough to lift a house if needed, he also said that he can morph his fist with claws and blades. He can jump up to one hundred meters and run very fast, he admitted that he is not the brightest of us and as such he is more useful when he follow orders. He said that his name is Viribus." Woodman said.

"Very well Viribus, go next to the other while I create the last guardian." I said. He nodded and I started with the new guardian, this one will be the strongest of them. And I have an idea on who to create.

When I was finished, I retracted my tendrils and admired my masterpiece. A bipedal being, three meters tall with white hair, a mask with three tips the central one being the longest that covered his eyes, a white robe adorned his entire figure a central blue crystal was ion his chest, seven long case black coloured hanged down from his robe they were attached to a golden ring on his waist while in his black gloved hands a glaive formed. The glaive was white with a red handle, the pull was black and yellow, his legs were covered in black cloth and he was hovering on the ground, his blade was made out of solid lightning. Ferdinand was born.

"Greetings, Emperor." He said.

"Ferdinand." I said. "Tell me everything you can do."

"As you wish. I can teleport, my strength is in the order of the terajoules of energy, my blade can cut through everything thanks to an atomic reaction that strips the electrons of the materials that I want to cut destroying it's bonds. I can move without teleporting up to mach 3 if needed, I'm almost indestructible, the only thing that can hurt me is you Emperor. I can command an army if you wish, or I can be your personal guardian." He finished with a bow.

"Thank you Ferdinand, you will defend this part of the forest, the only one that can cross this area are myself, my subjects and family, you will command this little squad. The others are there." I said pointing to the other three guardians. "I have the maximum trust in your abilities." I finished.

"I won't disappoint you, Emperor." He said before teleporting away next to the other three guardians.

Then Sunset dropped from the sky and greeted me. "Hey Phil, I finished with the Spectre and the other ones were self replicating so I came here, who are they?" She said pointing at the guardians.

"They are the four main guardians of the forest. They are Ferdinand, Viribus, Regina and Woodman." I pointed each of them and the nodded in return. "They will defend the inner circle of the Everfree." I said

"Are you sure they can? I want to test them." She said. I looked at her amused before grinning and saying.

"Very well. Guardians!" I called them. "Sunny here wants to test you, she will try to go past you, you will stop her. No lethal blow, but no caresses either, she's pretty strong. Ok I'll give you five minutes before starting." I then looked at Sunset. "You should prepare yourself, they are pretty strong."

"Don't worry, I'm strong too." She said boasting.

"We will see."

"Where is he?" I thought. I was running inside the forest for what seemed like hours, I was desperate but at least I stopped crying. I was lost though.

"Anyone there?" I called, hoping for someone to hear me, but nobody came. I was alone, I was never alone I lived with my sisters besides me up until then, I was lonely.

A roar covered the normal sounds of the forest and a manticore jumped against me pinning me down.
"P-p-please mr manticore don't eat me. I-I-I need to find my dad." The manticore stopped and looked at me strangely.
"He is a tall man with black hairs." A drop of sweat formed on the manticore's forehead. "He wore a long sleeved leather jacket." More and more sweat formed on it's body and it started to shake. "Oh, his eyes were red and black like this." I said morphing my eyes to recall the ones of dad. The manticore leaped away and crouched down on the ground wimpering.

"D-d-d-don't kill me. P-p-p-p-please I-I-I didn't know." The manticore spoke, while green flames covered it revealing a changeling.

"Who are you?" I asked him.

"You-you won't kill me?" I nodded and he continued. "I'm Lexio, a hunter for the hive. What's your name? If you don't mind answering that's it." He said still shaking.

"I'm Fluttershy Mercer. Daughter of Philip Mercer, it's a pleasure to meet you." I said.

"Princess!" He shouted bowing.

"P-p-princess? You must have confused me for someone else." I said to him.

"Your father is Philip right?" I nodded. "Philip Mercer with his mate Sunset, are the king and queen of the changeling. This makes you our princess." he finished.

"I'm a princess? Dad is a king? Mom is a queen? I need to ask them and... wait no I need to find dad first." I thought, then I said to Lexio." Can you tell me where is my dad? And please stop bowing thanks."

He stood up and said. "Of course your majesty. Follow me."

And so, we departed.

I was in the throne room and I was waiting for a messenger to arrive, I was starting to lose my patience when a knock was heard. "Come in." I ordered. A stallion with brown fur, brown mane and a pair of glasses entered. He wore leather armor and he had an envelope in his hand.

"Your majesty, I'm here to report." He said, I gestured for him to continue. "My princess, Dr Becker is still in a coma our best medics are trying to wake him but nothing is working. The griffin are growing more and more impatient, they want the Maresace and the Coltraine, they say that it's unfair for us to have all the gem mines."

"They can cry me a river for all I care." I said coldly. "Don't worry I'll take care of them when the times come. Continue now."

"Yes, we are registering an increment of shipment from the Zebrica, all of their errors are being shipped to us." He said

"Excellent" I said.

"We also-" He was cut off by a guard that stormed inside.

"YOUR MAJESTY!" He shouted panting. "We have terrible news regarding the Red Event."

"Messenger you are dismissed go." He bowed and left. After the doors closed I said. "What news?"

"The Red Event reached the security vault where the void spells were stored. The Red Event consumed them, order sixty six cannot be executed." He said.

"That's impossible!" I shouted. "Nothing can enter that vault."

"Your majesty it happened regardless. Also we have another problem." He said.

"What other problem?" I said looking at him in the eyes.

"The Red Event stopped growing but from it's generating zombies and nightmarish beasts, we have created a defensive line to hold them back, but we won't resist for long, they are fearless and charge without care into the formation killing everypony they see! Ponies are dying out there." He said.

"Send the third and seventh battalions to the facility as reinforcement, prioritize the research of a cure and hold the line. I also want some live specimen for study." I ordered

"At once your majesty." He said before exiting the room.

"I miss you my love, you wold have know what to do here better than me."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ PHILIP POV~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"Ready?" I said. Sunset nodded. "Then go!" I shouted.

Sunset ran towards the center of the forest, she was really fast but suddenly Regina exited from behind a tree and tackled Sunset into the ground, Regina punched her to the face repeatedly after the third punch, Sunset teleported away. A sudden movement however alerted her, but she was too late as multitude of vines and branches enveloped Sunset's entire form. Sunset was trapped but managed to free herself with her flames. Regina returned to the fight swatting her against a tree and using her tendrils to immobilize Sunset. The Woodman appeared next to Regina and commanded to the tree to encase her. Sunset though was quicker, she ignited herself and teleported twenty meters away from them. She was now sure of her success, but Viribus exited from the ground under her and grabbed her. He then pinned her down in the ground.

Sunset was now panting and she was covered in blood, her wounds healed but her magic loss was evident. She then used her armored form and took Viribus in her telekinesis sending him against Regina and Woodman. She then took flight and flew towards the center. Until Ferdinand teleported in front of her. With a powerful blow, he hit Sunset in the head, making her crash into the ground with a gigantic crater. He hovered down and took Sunset on his shoulder, he returned to me and handed me Sunset. The game was over in less than thirty seconds.

"Incredible." I said. "Good work guys." They all nodded. "You are dismissed." I took Sunset and made my way to home, but in the way I encountered Feral Wing.

"Hunter." He said. "Little pretty girl search you. Pink mane." He then pointed towards north. "That way, ask for
Lexio, he is with her." And without waiting for me to answer, he was gone.

"Pink maned little girl? Fluttershy!" I thought.

'groan' "What happened?" Said Sunset.

"You were destroyed by Ferdinand, he defeated you with a single punch." I said to her.

"Really?" I nodded. "Wow, he is very strong."

"Come on, Fluttershy is searching for me." I said to her.

"Why?" She asked.

"Dunno. I guess we'll find out." I responded.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ FLUTTERSHY POV~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"We are lost aren't we?" I told to Lexio. He grunted but continued. "You know maybe-" A sudden roar cut me off. From the foliage next to us, five head sprouted they were brown with razor sharp fangs and green eyes. They were all watching me intensely, then all of them roared again and tried to bite me. I sidestepped and in the panic, I kicked one of them ripping it off from it's neck. A shower of blood coated me.

"Blood... So much blood..." A drop of that blood entered my mouth and I swallowed it. "Delicious!" I thought. I devoured all the blood on my body with a grin on my face. I then looked at the hydra and jumped on one of it's heads while it was disoriented. I instinctively morphed my arm into a sickle, blood red coloured with multiple black veins on it's length, then I decapitated another of it's heads, and this time I devoured the head too. I jumped off from the beast and onto the ground. I slashed at one of his legs cutting it off, the hydra lost its balance and dropped down. Then the first stump stopped bleeding and two more heads sprouted from it.

"Interesting." I thought I enlarged my sickle and with one single motion cut off all it's head. The hidra went still before fourteen new heads exited from the body, it's leg regenerated too. They all roared at me and attacked me again, I evaded all of them while cutting more and more heads, as such more and more heads grew back.

"Will you forget the head-slicing thing?!" Lexio shouted from afar.

"You are not really helping you know?!" I shouted back. "At least shut up!" I dodged another bite before an idea struck me. I ran against the hydra's body, dodging as many heads as possible, the I slashed at it's body opening it like a stuffed doll. A ton of blood and intestines exited from the wound before regenerating. Then one of the head took me off guard and bite my wings pulling me up in the air. They were now all facing me with their jaws open. I didn't know what to do so I tried the same thing I did with my sisters.

"DIE!" I shouted, in an instant the hydra went still and stone started to cover it. All the way the stone completely coated her. Then it was dead, I returned on the ground and stared at the new statue. "Wow..." I said. Then a loud boom generated behind me. I turned around and saw my dad with mom in his arms.

"DAD!"

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ PHILIP POV~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I landed in the area where I heard the loud noise and found Fluttershy, covered in blood with a statue of hidra in front of her.

"DAD!" She shouted and hugged me, fortunately Sunset was fast enough and she landed on her feet.

"Fluttershy! What happened?" I said.

"Dad... I-I did something horrible." She stuttered out, crying in my shoulder. "I-I think I killed my sisters. Please you need to come home, I didn't want to please!" She said crying.

"SHe killed them? That's impossible I would have noticed." I thought, I hugged her more and said. "Don't worry sweetie, you didn't kill them."

"A-a-are you sure?" She asked softly.

"Absolutely. Come on let's go home." And so we departed towards home.

After a minute of walking in silence we reached the house. I entered and saw the girls, they were all on the couch paralyzed. The house was a mess, utensils and piece of clothing were all over the floor, the walls were damaged and the table was now a watermelon. I shook my head and used my tendrils to remove the stone gaze effect from them.

"Finally! I think I would have gone insane." Said Rainbow. "Thanks dad."

"Wowie finally free." Said Applejack. The others said all similar things. Until...

"Fluttershy! How could you!" Shouted Rainbow. "You wanted to kill us?" She said hovering in front of Fluttershy pointing at her with her finger, wich was covered in lightning. I saw the danger in time and shielded Fluttershy before the lightning hit her.

"Rainbow Mercer Dash!" I shouted. "How dare you trying to hurt your sister?" I said. She hit the ground and looked at me with watery eyes. "She didn't mean to paralyze you all, she used her stone gaze power unconsciously. This is not her fault. But mine." I said. They all gasped and said.

"No dad this is not your fault!"

"Yes it is. I should have trained you on how to use your powers, instead I went out. Stupid me!" I said.

I contacted Xarx in the hive mind and asked."How is Derpy?"

"She's fine your highness, she is playing with the other nymphs right now." He responded.

"Very well." I cut off the contact and addressed my daughters. "From tomorrow you will all be trained to use your powers. Twilight, Rarity you will train with mom. Applejack, Pinkie, Rainbow and Fluttershy, you will train with me. Today though we will visit the palace and we will present you as the new princess of the kingdom." They all looked at me with wide eyes except Fluttershy.

"You are a king? We are princess?" They said together. Then Rarity added.

"Oh dear it will be such a fine and wonderful day then." She did a little pirouette. "Do you think this clothes will be elegant enough?" She asked concerned.

"They are perfect, don't worry. Also before I forget, who made this mess?"

"Us..." They said in unison. Then Twilight spoke up." Fluttershy asked us to behave but we ignored her." She looked at Fluttershy and said. " Sorry sis." Then all of them looked down and did a little bow with their heads. "Sorry sis." They said.

"I forgive you." Fluttershy said. "I could never be angry at you." She elongated her arms and hugged all of them.

"You will be a perfect big sister Fluttershy. I'm proud of you. Now come on we need to go chop chop." I said smiling.

Something patted my shoulder and said. "So, you were absolutely certain that Fluttershy could rein them eh?" Sunset said with hidden anger in her voice.

I gulped hard. I screwed up.
