After showing the dark celestial girl to her new room and putting Skyler in her own room, I spent most of the night helping Skyler out with her homework for history class. When morning came around, I found myself still sitting at the dining room table with much of her now finished homework. I straightened up and stretched my arms, hearing them pop and crack before letting out a long held sigh of relief. After putting my arms down I felt something poking me, I turned my head and saw the kid standing there looking at me. How did she get so close without me noticing?

“Morning kiddo, what's up?” I asked her a little tired after having slept for only a few hours. She blinked at me before putting her hands on her belly then looking up at me. Getting the idea I nodded and stood up before heading into the kitchen to make some pancakes… I'm in the mood for pancakes. I looked back and saw the kid sitting at the table and waited for food. I could see that her mouth began to water when she caught wind of the scent and chuckled before looking back down at the pancakes, seeing them coming along nicely even without the use of the stove. I had the habit to use my powers to do this sort of thing, it really speeds up the cooking and adds some extra to the flavor. It wasn’t long before I heard the sound of footsteps coming closer.

“Pancakes~...” Skyler groaned as she stumbled towards the table, somewhat a sleep. The kid watched as Skyler sat down, nearly falling off the chair when she did and giggled a little.

“Morning sleepy head.” I greeted Skyler and my response from her was an immediate groan at the mention of her current nickname. Skyler rubbed her eyes a bit and blinked a few times, then looked over at the kid and stared.

“Uhhh… Isaac… why is there a kid here?” She asked before looking over at me. “What did I miss?”

“Ange found the kid in her new shed looking for food. Long story short, she'll be staying with us from now on… until she gets old enough and wants to leave.” I said, adding the last bit nonchalantly. Skyler looked at me, then at the kid, then at me.

“Okay…” She said, not sure how to react to this. I arched a brow at her tone before putting the last pancake on a plate. They were pretty big, not to mention fluffy, so only one serving per person. I brought out Skyler’s and the new kid’s plate out, upon doing so both of their mouths watered comically like waterfalls. Soon I placed the plates down in front of them, Skyler immediately began to devours hers while the kid stared at her disbelief with disbelief in her eyes. I need to come up with a name to give her.

“Everything alright?” I asked the kid with a little concern. The kid looked up at me, nodded her head before starting to eat. The look of bliss on her face made me smile as Skyler as already halfway done hers. I went back into the kitchen and took mine, added a little syrup before I walked back out to the dining room. Before long we have finished eating and took our plates to the kitchen to be cleaned later. Skyler went off to school after thanking me for helping her with her homework and soon left me alone with the kid. Said kid was sitting on the couch with a different book on her lap, this one was an old science book from Skyler’s school. While she was reading, I was busy cleaning up her new room, making it look better than before and even planning on repainting it. It wasn't until around midday that I had taken a break and sat down with the kid, wanting to give her a name so I could stop calling her kid. I've already gone through a long list already. “We've literally gone through all of the names and yet none of them suit you.” I said to the very picky girl. She frowned at this, crossing her arms. As we looked at the names she took a pencil and wrote down three names, at first I thought those three were the ones she liked the most but she then erased some letters until four letters were left. The words together spelled Irin.

“Irin?” I said out loud before a name popped into my head. “Hey, how about… Irena.” This made her kid smile and nod her head. With a smile of my own and said. “Irena it is then.” I said with a joyful laugh. Irena smiled at this before helping me clean up the small mess we made. It was mostly crumpled up paper balls and pencil shavings so it wasn't the much of a mess. It wasn't until I noticed her now dirty clothes that I remembered her lack of more clothing. “Hey, how's bout we get you some new clothes.” I offered. She looked up at me then looked down at the clothes she was wearing. After giving me a shrug she looked up at me again. I smiled at this and then the two of us headed out to get some clothes though before we left I had picked her and carried her, her lack of shoes made it difficult for her to walk on the cobblestone road. I had her up on my shoulders as I walked through the streets, she seemed in awh at everything she sees around us. From houses to stores and even the town park, she awed at it all but what got me laughing was when she saw the town bakery, an actual life size gingerbread house, just looking at it would give someone a craving for baked goods. Sure enough she stared at the place and was mouth watering, I chuckled at this before continuing on before shortly arriving at our destination, Carousel Boutique. We entered through the opened door and our entrance was greeted with a ring of a bell that notified Sophia. She came out with a smile on her face as she saw us.

“Hello Isaac… who’s this?” She asked as I put Irena safely down. I looked back up at Sophia and said.

“This Irena, Ange found her yesterday in her shed looking for food. To make a long story short, me and Ange are looking after the kid now.” I said, not wanting to give a full recap of the situation and it seemed that Irena didn't want to as well. “Anyway, we came by to ask if you could make her clothes and if you have a pair of kid size shoes that'd be swell as well.” I said to her, all with a smile as Irena looked at the fashionista curiously. Sophia looked down at the kid for a few moments, humming to herself before smiling.

“Of course Darling, I would love to make some clothes…” She kneeled down to take a closer look at Irena. “Maybe make them a little… durable as well for the future.” Irena instinctively hid behind me a little more when Sophia did this, surprising the fashionista. “Oh… Oh I’m sorry dear, I didn’t mean to scare you.”

“It's okay… she's a friend.” I said Irena in a soft tone, one she found comfort it quickly. She stopped hiding behind me, stepping aside so she no longer stood behind me. “She's a little shy.” I told Sophia before I guided Irena to the podium, where Sophia informed Irena of what she was going to do before making the clothes. She took measurements of Irena which she hummed a bit of that. Soon she was finished and told us that it will be a few minutes before she has some clothes ready for her as she walked into the back. When Sophia disappeared into the back, I quickly felt Irena tackle me into a hug, no doubt as thanks for the new clothes. I smiled at this as the two of us waited for Sophia to finish. After an hour passed the fashionista came out with some clothes in her hands. Irena saw the clothes as some were handed to her for her to try but before she did however, she looked at me as if asking for permission. I nodded without a word, giving her the permission she silently asked for before Sophia guided her into the changing room. The two of them walked over to the changing rooms so Irena could change clothes.

It wasn't long before Irena came out with some clean clothes. Upon showing her new clothes, one could easily mistake her for a normal everyday girl, though only her eyes were the odd part of her. She looked down at herself, oohing and awing at her new found clothing. She looked up at me to see what I thought about it.

“You look great, kiddo.” I said to her with a smile. This earned a smile from the kid as she went to look at herself in the mirror.

“Awww… she’s adorable!” Sophia said happily. I chuckled a bit at this before a letter appeared in the air in a puff of smoke. It floated down in front of Sophia before she took it. She opened it and read it quickly. “Oh dear… I’m sorry Isaac but I have to head out right now.” I titled my head at this curiously.

“Why? What did the letter say?” I asked, my own curiosity getting the best of me. Irena heard about Sophia's sudden departure and watched as we conversed.

“It’s something important that’s going on in Canterlot, the Princess… I mean your Mother… I mean…” Sophia gave me a look before saying. “I’m still trying to get used to it!” She pointed out, earning a small chuckle from me as she continue. “Anyway, she called me and the others to Canterlot to try and fix it.” I grew sad at the mention that they all had to go, meaning I wouldn't be able to see Ange until she and the others gets back from whatever is happening in Canterlot.

“Oh… alright. Thanks for the clothes by the way, I'll give you the money for them when you get back.” I said, knowing that with the many clothes she had made would cost a lot. Irena walked up to us just as Sophia handed me the bags with the rest of Irena’s new clothes.

“Oh it’s fine, dear don’t worry about it.” She said happily. “I’m just helping out a friend.” I smiled at this and was a little relieved that I didn't have to count the money in my pocket. Irena peeked into the bag with a smile forming on her lips as she did before I said my goodbyes and left the boutique with Irena in tow. The latter was happily skipping beside me, making sure that her new shoes tapped the ground with each skip. I smiled at this as I lead her back home. Upon getting home however, I couldn't shake off the feeling that someone or something was watching me and it didn't help that I had gotten a sudden headache as well. Irena looked at me curiously as I rubbed my head a bit.

“I'm alright… just a little headache, that's all.” I said to her as I rubbed my head, I could've sworn I heard some guy’s laugh. “I must've not have slept as well as I thought.” I said, sitting down on the couch as I spoke. I had placed the bag of clothes on the table before I sat down. Irena grabbed her book from before and opened it up again, going into her own little world in a science book.

Deciding not to simply sit here and do nothing I did the next best thing; sitting here and play video games. I didn't know how long I sat there, time was nothing to me but… I could notice that everything slowed down to a crawl as my headache worsened. I glanced over at Irena as she read… she seemed to be frozen at first but I saw she blinked… really slowly. Ugh, my head feels like it’s being pounded by a jackhammer. As this happened, I heard a laugh, a low throaty laugh.

“My… my… how have you grown…” A males voice said all around me. “It’s been far too long… I have been dying to meet you.” I didn't know what was going on, the voice that spoke was unfamiliar to me. I tried to get up but found it impossible, my limbs were locked in place. “Oh don’t get up, I’ll let myself in…” The screen of my TV went black, then look tar like as it seeped into my living room. I watched as the tar rose up and took a form of a large man. Before long colour seemed to be appear as the being in front of me turned out to be a man with short brown hair with a crown on top. A royal purple cape wrapped around him as he looked like a king of some kingdom, only his eyes were red and his smile gave off the feeling of madness. He chuckled at me before he spoke. “Greetings my boy.”

“I don't… who are you?” I asked him, cursing my curiosity for once again besting my common sense. The mans smile never left him as he cackled to himself.

“Oh yes, you don’t know who I am… your mother never spoke of me, I bet she wouldn't have even told you about me at all!” this made his cackle turn into a full mad laugh before he quickly stopped and looked at me. “I am Sir Roderick Blackwood, the Mad King.” He said with a bow as he introduced himself. I only looked at him in confusion, his name not ringing any bells yet he knows about me. The man looked at me with a slight frown on him. “Yeah, she told you nothing.”

“Am I supposed to know you?” I asked, now a little annoyed over my immobility and the fact that he is practically invading my home. He chuckle a little before saying.

“In due time, can’t spoil the fun can I?” He asked as he walked a bit in my home. “Let's just say that I know your mom and aunt very, very well…” He chuckled a bit before seeing my expresion. His frown appeared and rolled his eye. “Not that way, seriously get your head out of the gutter.”

“Dude, it's not my fault! That can be taken out of context horribly!” I exclaimed before hanging my head and groaning. “Fuck! Now I have that stuck in my head.” I said with a sigh. He shook his head and pulled out a pocket watch.

“Well, if you don’t mind I do have some things to take care of, but I’ll get straight to the point.” He said before kneeling down to me. “I've got big plans for today and part of it requires your cooperation. You see Isaac, what you have is a gift, a power greater than your mother and even I.” He straighten and walked to the window. “Have you ever seen how people act to one another? Sure it’s nice and all, but when you go up the social chain… things change.” He turned back to me.

“Nobles looking down on those who give them what they want, peasants are more than simple slaves for the nobles, an endless cycle that brings misery to all that are left behind… this is what order brings… this is what your mothers so call Harmony brought.” He turned to me with a smile. “But I’m going to change that, I’ll make everything better… and all I need is your help Isaac.”

“Why do you need my help and why should I trust you?” I asked him with a frown. One of the many numerous downsides to being immobilized is the fact that I can't scratch my nose, it's beginning to itch. He arch a brow at me before saying.

“Well, didn’t you go though the same ordeal? Nobles treating you like dirt? What about the two you live with?” He asked before glancing to Irena. “What would everyone think when they find out that she’s really the nightmare that was about to turn the land into darkness?” He asked once again, a sinister grin forming and showing the one razor sharp fang. He turned back to me. “All I’m going to do is simply make everything even, everyone will be on the same level as one another.” I didn't know what to do or even if I should answer. His idea seemed to good to be true and it made me question him more when he said that I was needed to help. Before answer could be given, he turned to look back at the tv with a hum, having heard something I couldn't hear. “Hmm, seems that some people still think they’re going to stop me…” he turned back to me with a smile. “I’ll be going now, but think about what I have said.” With that he turned into purple smoke that sparkled, with a mad laugh he went back into the TV and everything went back to normal, I lurched forward as my body was able to move again but all I could feel was them ache, as if they were stiff for a long while. Irena looked over at me and tilted her head, wondering what's wrong. I couldn't tell her the truth if what happened really did happen.

“It's alright, I'm fine just… just a little stiff.” I said, stretching my arms a little only to feel them ache even more so but I endured it for now. A feeling of fear crept up within me, it was something I haven't felt since I was a kid. I turned off the game and switch the tv off, letting the silence settle back in. Irena still looked at me, her look of concerned turned to one of worry, I was going to ask what was wrong when I noticed my hands were bright orange and burning the couch. Startled by this, I hopped onto my feet and focused until my hands stopped glowing. I looked back at Irena as she stared at me, worried that there’s something wrong and, probably, wondering why I burnt the couch. “I can't… I don't…” I couldn't answer, unsure of how it happened. I looked down at my hands, the air around them hot after burning couch a little. I rubbed my head a bit before deciding that a cup of coffee might help me out. “Put on your shoes, we're heading out to a friend's place.” I said, my tone sounding a little weak. Irena nodded and got up to go put on her shoes, I did the same, only a little slower. My mind was still on what that weird man said, he said he knew my mom and Luna… maybe I should ask Celestia that, maybe she knows? I shook my head of this before the two of us headed off. The walk over to Blake's was long and excruciatingly slow but it wasn't because of Irena’s interests in the townsfolk but my sore limbs, I felt like I was hit by a truck with each step I took. When we finally arrived at Blake's shop, I pushed open the door but quickly saw my hand emitting it's dangerous orange glow which nearly melted the door handle before I pulled my hand back. I used my other hand to open the door, letting Irena go in first and soon heard her awing at the interior of the shop. When I closed the door, the bell soon rang.

“The hell?” A voice said to me. I looked up to see Blake staring at me. “You… look like shit.”

“I hurt.” I said with a frown, internally sighing in relief that she didn't notice the door handle… yet. She gave me a look as I walked over and sat down, letting out a sigh of relief as I did.

“Dude… did you run like… ten marathons, and then get hit by a train?” She asked me, now worried about me. I looked over at Irena, seeing her reading one of the many menu books.

“I don't know what's going on, half of me thinks I'm high off my own ass with something…” I said, slamming my head against the countertop. The two of them looked at me as I felt Blake raise my head up.

“Here… let me-” She put her hand on my forehead and after a few moments she pulled back with a yelp. “Ow! The hell?!” I watched her put her hand under some water. “You’re hot… really hot Isaac… are you coming down with something to make you feel like a volcano?”

“I don't know… after this weird guy came by my body has been feeling like shit. I'd go to bed and call it a day but I'd rather not have my bed burn down.” I said as I sat up straight only sag my shoulders as it was hard to keep myself up straight. Blake went to the side and made something before pushing a large Coffee with ice cubes in it.

“Iced coffee, maybe that’ll help?” She asked. I stared at it before wrapping my hands around it. The coffee started to boil and bubble crazy before I let go. “Or… not, maybe go ask you mom about this?”

“Can't… I still didn't get my fireproof phone yet.” I said and while it may have sounded like a joke, it really wasn't. A while after it was made public that I was Celestia’s son, Camilla had suggested we find phones that would fireproof so it wouldn't easily burn to a crisp if one of us were to lose our shit. I asked her how she knew and my answer was that it happened to her before. “It's going back and forth into Manehattan and Canterlot in an endless cycle, there looking into the problem but I haven't heard anything from them yet.” I said. Blake frowned at me before saying.

“Do you know the number? I could send a message.” Blake offered, her voice sounded like she was really worried about me. After telling her my mom's number, she quickly sent a message to her regarding my current state. While she was typing, my arm shone though it was a little obscured by the tattoo. It looked like fire… no wait wings? I don’t know what’s going on but it looked like flaming wings here covering my arms that soon rose up to my back. The flames on my skin looked like they were moving as I broke into a sweat. Irena saw this and started to get scared, I don’t blame her, I would be too. “Okay… that should-WHAT THE HELL?!?”

“I don't know!” I exclaimed with panic in my voice. The longer the flames went, the more it became agonizing and while I did my best to endure, the pain was too much. It was fortunate however that as quickly as it came, it quickly went and the fire died out. Exhausted over excessive pain, slumped onto the countertop with yet another slam.

My vision blurred as stuff was happening around me. I closed my eyes to what felt like a minute to open them in a different sight. It looked like the backroom of Blake's shop. Looking around I saw my mom sitting nearby, a look of worry on her face.

“What… Happened?” I asked groggily, I felt as if I've slept for an hour two. On the bright side however my limbs didn't feel like they're falling off. Mom looked up at me as I pushed myself up.

“Oh heavens above you're awake!” She said as she rushed over to me. “Are you okay? How are you feeling?” she asked as she started checking on me. This was the first time I've seen her like this, worrying for my health and well being like she is now.

“I just want today to end…” I said and mom immediately got the idea of how I felt. She let out a sigh at this.

“I understand how you feel. But tell me Isaac, what happened?” She asked me. “I had gotten a message that just said ‘Your son is turning into a volcano, please help.’” She asked me.

“I don't know, my powers have been going out of whack, my body is sore all over and all happened after this dude came by.” I said, rubbing my eyes and remembering the events that transpired prior to my meltdown.

“Who came by?” She asked me, her eyes narrower as she said that. I closed my eyes to remember the guy's name before finally answering.

“Some dude named Roderick Blackwood.” I said with a groan as I laid my head back down. I looked back at my mom and saw a shocked look on her face.

“No… why would he… unless he…” She muttered to herself. As she did this, I tried to move my hand and feeling it ache but with a groan, I raised my hand up and saw it glowing its menacing orange glow. She was about to say something but saw my hand. “Oh dear, Isaac take deep breaths.” I did just that, taking a few deep breaths each thirty seconds. Soon enough it began to dim the glowing before it returned to normal. I looked around once the glowing stopped and spotted Irena poking her head through the door. She stared at me as I put my hand down, my mom letting out a sigh.

“What's happening to me?” I asked her while Irena snuck her way inside, she was sure I hadn't seen her and wanted to be sneaky about it so I decided to stay be oblivious for now.

“It’s… well, what your powers were are just a fraction of what you can do… and that's putting it lightly. “ My mom said to me before adding. “In short it's complicated.” She said. I didn't know what she meant by all that but that wasn't what was important, I was more worried about thing on my arm and how it burned into my skin.

“But what… What are these?” I asked my mother as I showed her my arms.

“Those are… well as you saw Irena’s markings, these are yours… kinda.” She explained. Now this brings up more questions.

“What do you mean kinda?” I asked, narrowing my eyes a little at her. I had the feeling that she was trying to hide something and while I wanted to know what it was, the odd burning sensation on my back occupied my mind after I asked her. She opened her mouth to speak but closed it. This happened a few times and from the looks of it she was having a hard time finding the words. The burning slowly became unbearable and before I could think of taking my shirt off to see what was going on, it simply burnt off of me. The intense fire must've been too much for my shirt, the latter was supposed to be fireproof. I rolled onto my stomach to push myself up but that's when I heard mom gasp.

“Oh my…” Was all she said.she said as the burning pain continued. Before long it dimmed and I realized I was sweating. I turned back to my mom just as the door opened.

“Hey, is he- Uhhhhh what’s going on?” Blake asked as she stopped in the middle of the doorway. I turned to her panting as she stared at me. “Hey Isaac… I didn’t know you gotten a new tattoo… though that’s pretty large one.”

“What the hell are you on about? I never got a third tattoo.” I said to her. She of all people would know that I had sworn off getting tattoos after the two dragon tattoos. I was passed out during the second tattoo.

“Right… so the large phoenix tattoo on your back is my mind playing tricks on me.” Blake said, crossing her arms. I gave her an odd look as she pulled her phone out and took a picture and then showed it to me. “See.” I looked at the photo that she took and sure enough there was a large phoenix tattoo covering my back that extends to my arms. I didn't really know what to say, seeing what my mother said was my mark on my back.

“Well… you’re right when it’s not a tattoo… it’s actually you’re Celestial markings…” She answered, getting a closer look at my back. “It’s interesting to see ones like this.” I looked up at her with an arched brow and said.

“So wait… I am a Celestial?” I said questioningly. My mom looked at me before sighing.

“Yes… and no.” She answered, confusing me more. “You’re half Celestial.”

“That's not really helping me at the moment…” I said, not really appreciating the vague answers. “So I'm half celestial, what's the other half then?” I asked, somewhat hoping I'd get an answer. I felt someone poke my back, surprising me upon doing so before I saw that it was Irena, curiously poking at the markings on my back.

“It’s… again complicated…” My mom said, a bit nervous as she said it. “You’re Celestial side came from me as the other half came from your father… who wasn’t mortal.” We all stared at her for a good long minute before Blake spoke up.

“Wait… wasn’t mortal? Then what was he?” She asked. Celestia shifted a bit, surprisingly blushing.

“A… Dawn Titan…” She answered. We all were silent at this, me blinking a few times as Blake’s jaw dropped.

“Oh shit.” Was all she said. Once again I was left out of the know and it really began to get into my nerves.

“Is that bad?” I asked the first thing that came to mind.

“Oh no no, it’s not bad.” My mom said quickly. “Your father is the sweetest man I have ever met.” I stared at her for a moment before looking at Blake, hoping for an explanation.

“A Dawn Titan is another name for a Primordial, a being that came way before anything was alive, meaning your dad is a flipping cosmic being of untold power.” Blake explained, earning an odd look from my mom.

“How do you know that?” She asked.

“I played a lot of board games.” Blake answered her, which got mom to look at her even more oddly than before. “There’s one that has a book based on the Dawn Titans.”

“Okay… I'm the result of a very interesting relationship.” I said mostly to myself but Irena heard me and found it funny, earning me a giggle from her. It seems my mother heard it too as she blushed even more.

“I… don’t want to get into details of it…” She said before noticing all of us staring at her. “I was young and did weird stuff, moving on.” She added as she blushed more.

“Okay then… So what exactly is happening to me and who the hell was that guy?” I asked, now that the burning stopped and aching subsided, I was able to sit up comfortably and stretch my back a little. My mom shifted a bit, frowning at this question.

“That man is Roderick Blackwood, a very powerful Magi that tapped into the chaotic powers of… well Chaos.” She looked down a bit sadly before adding. “He’s also my… Father.”

We all stared at her for a few moments which felt longer. That man… he’s my grandfather?!?

“Wait if he’s your dad, wouldn’t he be dead then?” Blake asked, only to see my mom shaking her head.

“Again he knows the ways of Chaos magic, time doesn’t really apply to him...” Mom explained before frowning and thinking aloud. “Or… time just doesn’t work with him.” She said. While she rambled on to herself about chaos magic, I was simply silent throughout it all and it began to worry Blake and Irena. Irena sat next to me, putting her hand over mine and looking up at me with the same worried expression as Blake spoke.

“That’s nice and all but why does he want Isaac?” Blake asked my mom, who sighed at this.

“He… wants to reform the world in his image. A world filled with chaos running rampant through the land. He claims that it will help the world for the better, destroying the wall between Noble and Peasants.” She frowned a bit. “But this involves him literally burning everything to the ground to start over.”

“Alright but why does he need me? Doesn't he have the power of chaos or something?” I asked her, reminding her that the man that was revealed to be my grandfather had visited me earlier.

“Well no, that’s not how it works. As much as he will say there’s one thing his power has to follow, the one rule that should never ever be broken: Chaos can not kill. It’s as simple as that, so he needs something else to do this for him… which is why he went to you Isaac.” My mom explained. “The power of a Celestial and a Dawn Titan’s power is so great that it could destroy everything in this world, literally burning it to the ground.”

“So what you're saying is that I'm basically a super weapon capable of destroying the world whenever I please…” I said basically shortening her explanation in simpler words. Everyone looked at me strangely before I finally sighed and hung my head. “I liked it better when I was just a small town guy.” I said with a frown. My mom lowered her head at this.

“Isaac… I’m so sorry… I shouldn’t have involved you… I shouldn’t have told you who I was…” My mom said sadly to me. I looked back at her and shook her head.

“It's not your fault, mom… It's just bad luck I guess.” I said to her in hopes it cheer her up a bit. She smiled at me before she looked towards the door.

“I have a feeling he's going to come around to try and convince you Isaac. Don't listen to him, he's now just a madman.” Mom explained to me.

“Right… remind me not to serve crazy men.” Blake said as she walked out of the room. I was silent soon after she left, I didn't know what to do and I just felt lost. I soon felt Irena give me a hug, in hopes to make me feel better. I looked down at her, a small smile forming at the kindness she giving me.

“So what now? Is there a way we can stop him?” I asked my mom, hoping she would have some sort of plan to stop the madman that is my grandfather. I'm actually glad that I didn't learn about all this as a kid, then I'd have made a very weird family tree project.

“Well… I have hope that Lydia and her friends could stop him before anything could happen but he’s… tricky…” My mom explained as she shook her head. “I don’t have the elements and I’m not as strong as I used to be… It’s up to your friends to stop him.”

“HEY GUYS!!!” Blake yelled out from the front of the store, getting our attention. “WHY ARE WE IN CANDY LAND!?!” The two of us looked at one another before quickly heading to the front. Sure enough outside of Blakes store is a land with enlarged sugary confections. Just the sight of it all was unpleasant to me, images of rotten teeth flashing through my mind.

“How-” Just before I could speak, a loud clap of thunder boomed our ears before it began to rain… Chocolate? Sure enough after a small taste, it was indeed warm chocolate. “Is this his doing?” I asked Celestia, turning to look at her.

“Yes…” Was all she said. “As I said, a world of Chaos.” From the way she said that she wasn’t pleased with this. “I need to head back, Lydia might need help with this.” With that she turned into smoke and disappeared. Both me and Blake watched all this as Irena was looking up with her mouth open. I rolled my eyes at the sight Irena trying catch some of the chocolate.

“So what are we going to do?” I asked Blake, not having an idea myself of what we can do to help stop this. It didn't help that I was shirtless and it was pretty windy.

“Well… wait for Lydia and the others to finish what they started… which doesn’t look like it’s working, which means plan B.” She then walked over to some oversized lollipops and grabbed one of them. There was a slight glow as I watched her rip a lolly pop out of the ground. “Which is me smaking your Granddad in the face with this lollipop.” I blinked at this while Irena was oblivious to Blake's actions as she continued to happily gulp down the chocolaty rain. She saw my expression and frowned. “What? It’s not like you have some sort of connection with him, besides I really want to hit someone with an oversized lollipop.” She said with a smile. Sometimes, I wonder who’s crazier, my grandfather or Blake. Eventually the rain stopped and it was my chance to head home for a new shirt, Blake opted to come along just to be on the safe side. The walk back home could only be described as ludicrous, not only were giant lollipops sprouting from the dirt and houses began to defy gravity but there were creatures of odd nature running about, like a an eyeball with bat wings or a giant candy eating bird creature.

“Ugh… I think I'm going to be sick…” Blake said as she watch a building float over head. When we finally got back to my house, we found it fully intact and without any form of oddity surrounding it… in fact it seemed as if the chaotic beings and weird mishaps avoided my house all together. There wasn't even a spec of chocolate from the rain that occurred earlier.

“Umm… you see this?” I asked Blake, looking down at the ground and seeing a border between chaotic lands and my lawn.

“Yeah… Your lawn looks really good.” Blake pointed out, making me look at her with a frown. “What? Trying to brighten up the mood.”

“Right…” I said with an annoyed tone before stepping onto my lawn carefully, thinking that it was some sort of illusion but to my relief it wasn't. Irena was the second to step onto the green grass before Blake did so as well. We all awaited for something weird to occur but it never came. A gust of cold wind reminded me of why we were here and I hurried along inside. Once inside, I sped up into my room and grabbed the first shirt that I saw before I walked downstairs.

“Like the new look of the town?” A voice said. I looked up to see Roderick sitting in my chair with a smile. “Honestly I always believed this place was more of a candy land, there’s already a gingerbread house in town.” I stared at him and saw that both Blake and Irena aren’t here.

“What did you do to them?” I asked, anger already taking control at the sight of him.

“Oh they’re fine, just outside of the building.” He said with a smile. “Just made it only the two of us can be in here.” My frown deepened at this.

“There's nothing for us to talk about so leave.” I said as I crossed my arms. He tilted his head at this.

“Oh come now, I just want to see how you are doing and see if you’re alright… and see if you made up your mind about what we talk about.” He said casually. I simply shook my head and said.

“You're insane if you think I'd ever help you.” I said to him and some part of me kept berating me over the fact that I was talking back to someone of chaotic nature.

“Well… I am insane, quite mad really, but are you sure?” He asked me. “If you do we will change the world for the better.”

“You want me to burn away all life! That's not going to help anyone!” I yelled, after hearing him say that what he had planned was beneficial for everyone, I guess I must've lost it.

“Oh that’s not all that bad, makes things easier to rebuild.” He said with a shrug. I blinked and saw him standing over me, looking down at me. “Now think Isaac, do you want to keep things what they are now or come with me and change this world?” I was a little intimidated by his height over me, unsure if he was as tall before as he is now. I kept my glare at him despite being intimidated and the silence that settled became unbearable even for him. “Not convinced? How about this, if you help me with this…” He sighed a bit before continuing. “I’ll change this place and everyone back to normal.” I would've said something but then I realized that he has said everyone… oh no.

“You didn't…” I said, hoping that my assumptions weren't true.

“Hmmm? Oh right one of those girls was close to you… who was she again?” He asked mostly asked himself before snapping his fingers. “Oh right I remember!... She was annoying, broke one of my rules due how easy going she was.” He shrugged as he looked at me. “She’s fine aside from maybe having a some new found anger issues.”

“What did you do to her!?” I yelled at him, the temperature taking a sudden rise up a few degrees. The man chuckled a bit.

“Temper temper, it's not so bad Isaac. She is the element of Kindness and what is the opposite of kindness?” He asked me. It took me a few moments to realize what he ment. “Yes… simply switching the bearer’s personal and alignment makes their element completely useless… but if you join up with me I can change- AHH!” I saw him flinch a bit in pain. “O...kay? That was-” He stopped again as he looked like he was having an headache, or someone is hitting his head. This brief moment gave me time to calm myself before I burned down the house and once I did, the repetitive thumping greeted my ears and it didn't take long for me to find the source, Blake using some of her own magic against the barrier that separated us. I quickly walked up to the barrier just to see her punch again, making a small shockwave on it. For some reason this was hurting the man inside.

“Open up, Open up, Open up, Open up, Open up!!” She yelled repeatedly as she did this, slowly making cracks in the wall. The cracks kept on vanishing and reappearing with each punch, the dome withstanding each of her hits. With an idea in mind, I placed both my hands on the barrier and tried to focus, as soon as I did my hands began to take their menacing orange glow. I kept raising up the heat and with noticeable results, my hands began to slowly go through the once solid barrier. It got to the point where my hands were ablaze in a fiery in inferno that could mostly likely rival the Sun's. With this results also led to some cracks forming as I saw Blake beginning to punch where I… oh no.

“Wait...waitwaitwaitwait!!!” I yelled just as Blake punched, and broke the barrier. A loud yelled emitted from my house as Blake blinked at what happened.

“Ha! I win!” She cheered. I fell back onto my lawn, my hands still burning with a fiery inferno before they were suddenly put out.

“Ow~” I groaned before sitting up and rubbing my head. “Thanks.” I said though despite my sarcastic sounding tone, I meant it for real. I looked up to see Irena hiding behind a large gumdrop and waved at me as Blake helped me up.

“What happened in there? You walked in and a barrier formed.” Blake asked as she pulled me up.

“My so called grandfather was waiting for me inside and ON MY CHAIR!” I said/yelled, the realization of it hit me like a truck. “Motherfucker sat on my chair!” I exclaimed in anger. Irena stared at me, slowly blinking as Blake sighed.

“You and your chair…” She said, knowing full well my deal with my chair. It took me a moment to calm down again but once I did, I spoke up.

“He came back to see if I made up my mind in helping him or not. He's also messed with the others, switching their personalities with their polar opposite.” I said with a sigh.

“Really, why?” Blake asked me.

“He said that by switching their personalities, they'd be incapable of using the elements of harmony.” I answered sadly. I was really bummed out that Ange was affected by this as well and I can only hope I don't get to see her like that.

“Right… so what's the plan?” Blake asked me. I only shrugged, having no way to answer her question. Before anything else could be said, my grandfather bursted through the front door, literally taking it off its hinges. From the looks of it he didn't seem happy.

“That… was the worse headache I have ever had.” He said before glaring in our direction. Irena hid behind the gumdrop while I looked around, seeing the chaotic area around my house worsen by the second and fearing if I don't do anything soon, he'd end up doing something horrid to both Blake and Irena. With a deep breath and a sigh, I spoke.

“Fine…” I said in defeat, my shoulders sagging as I said this. Both Irena and Blake looked at me as my grandfather looked at me in surprise.

“Fine? Fine what?!” Blake asked me, confused. I didn't answer immediately, simply letting Roderick’s magic take me over to him and placing me at his side. Irena watched horribly saddened at this. I looked back up at my grandfather and said.

“I'll help you… but you're going to have to teach me how.” I said to him, reminding him that my powers were not as vast as they are now. Blake stood slack jawed as she heard me speak but a quick glance told her that I had a plan… A really, really stupid plan. She frowned at this as I looked back at my grandfather who laughed.

“Well… nice it's very nice that you finally see it my way.” He said with a grin. “Though teaching you how will take some time…”

Blake PoV

For how long I knew Isaac for, it’s rare to see him with a dumb plan. This is one of those moments. The man beside Isaac chuckled darkly to himself before both he and Isaac vanished in a flash of light, the man's laughter echoing around us soon after they vanished. Irena stared at the ground Isaac stood on just seconds ago.

“I hope he knows what’s he doing…” I muttered to myself as I looked up to the sky… and saw an hot air balloon changing someone. I shook my head at this, feeling like this day can’t get any weirder. Irena kneeled down by where Isaac was, a frown on her face as she stayed there. I stood beside her as we waited for something. It wasn't until I heard a sniffle that my attention was fully brought back out from my thoughts and I quickly looked down to see Irena sniffling again, eyes welling up with tears. I pulled her into a hug as we waited for him to returned. As we waited there was a bright flash behind me.

“Sorry, I had to send something important.” Celestia said as she appeared. She looked around and added. “Where’s Isaac?”

“He… has a plan… a really really stupid plan.” I told her. Celestia stared at me for a few moments, just long enough for a group of flying eyeballs flew by us.

“What’s this plan?” she asked. My only response was a shrug and it only made Celestia worry greatly. I was about to suggest we head back to the safety of my shop before the echoing sound of a distant explosion greeted our ears. When we looked over at the direction it came from, we were greeted with a large pillar of fiery inferno that stretched all the way up into the clouds. “Never mind… I think I have an idea of what’s his plan is.”

I looked at both the Princess and Irena and open my mouth to say something when something burning landed near us. “Regrets! All of the Regrets!” The voices of Rodrick yelled from the small crater. I looked up at the Celestia as she disappeared, probably headed off to see her son… also where’s Irena? I looked around to see that I was alone, stuff is happening and I’m missing things. I pushed myself up and walked over to the smoking crater and saw the asshole laying in it.

“So… you gave him all the knowledge of using fire magic huh?” I asked him. He opened his mouth and a black cloud of ash came out of it as he cough.

“Yeah… yeah I did… here I thought he was going to get a small case of serious brain damage.” He said. I rolled my eyes as I kneeled down by the hole.

“So, any last words before they come back and beat your head in?” I asked the smoking man.

“Yeah… how did you damage my barrer?” He asked me. “Like, if anyone tries nothing would happen, but you were making dents in it… how did you-” he stopped as he looks over at me. “Oh… OH! THAT’S WHY!!!” He then started to laugh as I blinked at him, confused at what he’s saying before he added. “You’re her kid!”

“Her? Who’s her?” I asked until I realized what he ment. “You know my mom?! Who is she?” His response was, literally, tearing his mouth off and throwing it away. I glared at him and picked up my giant lolly hammer and smashed him. “Damn it, Tell me who she is you asshole!” I continued to smack him for a few times, he kept healing from my attacks. I raised my fist up to give him another punch but I stopped when I noticed a sudden rise in temperature, at first it was just hot then it began to be unbearable before I felt like I was being cooked alive. I looked up to see… a man made out of fire?

His hair was a blazing inferno and eyes glowed white. He stood about eight feet tall as he looked down at us. I was already sweating as I spoke. “Mind turning it down? I’m cooking here.” His eyes narrowed at me when I said this before they were drawn towards Roderick, the once mad king or so I've heard.

“I'm not done with you, gramps.” He said with malice laced within his words. Roderick laughed nervously, now realizing the great error he had committed upon ‘recruiting' Isaac. I blinked at this, wait…

“Isaac?” I said before Roderick was launched out of the hole and got dragged off by flame Isaac. I climbed out of the hole to see if he could stop but he was already gone. “Damn…”

I was soon left alone in the middle of the place, sitting next to a crater as everyone was doing something. My mind was racing at what Rodrick meant by I was ‘Her’ kid. Did he know who she was or was he messing with me?

Isaac’s PoV

I honestly couldn't believe that dumb plan of mine worked, now not only do I have partial control of my full powers and the knowledge to access my celestial form, I had all I needed beat the ever living shit out of the guy who sat on my chair and messed with my girlfriend! I had the man responsible for both in my hand… well his leg anyway, I dragged him behind me as I headed back to ground zero, seeing the smouldering crater of fire just ahead.

“Okay… I get your mad at me and- ow.” he started to say but he slid over a rock. “But if you were in my position you would do the same.” My reply to him came in the form of a torrent blazing hot fury… and a quick gut stomp.

“Shut it.” I said, my voice sounding drastically different than my normal one… And a little older even, weird. We came up the edge of the crater, the fires below roaring upon reaching the edge. “I'd say it was nice knowing you… but that would be a lie now wouldn't it.” I said before picking him up and looming him over the edge, if I were to let go, he would perish in the flames within the moment he would touch them. He looked down at the flames then back at me.

“N-now now, let’s not be too hasty here… this isn’t you Isaac…” he said nervously. “Maybe something a little less… that.” I simply chuckled and said.

“You said you wanted to rid the world of its problems, well that's exactly what I plan on doing… ridding the world of its problem.” I said to him, using his own words against him. He blinked at me before I tossed him into the pit. Him screaming down into was somewhat unsettling at first until I realized that the screaming wasn’t going away. I looked down to see him floating there in a golden aura. I looked back to see my mother holding out her hand as it glowed gold as well. She sighed and pulled back her hand, making Rodrick float out of the pit as well.

“That… was close…” She said as she put her hand down, making her father fall face first into the ground.

“Why save him? You know what he planned to do.” I said to her questioningly. She looked at me with a frown.

“I do, what he was planning was unforgivable, and there was other ways to have deal with him. But he can’t simply die.” Mom said as glanced at the man. “For one, I still have hope that he may return back to the man he was once was before the Chaos took him over.” I then looked down at the man as he kissed the ground he laid on. Before I could say anything, a major headache greeted my senses and I began to feel weaker by the second, shrinking down back to my normal height and my skin returning to its regular not fiery self. Before I knew it, I found myself on my knees in the burnt remains of my clothes.

“Ow…” I said, still grasping my head. “That was unpleasant…” I said, looking down at myself and noticing that newly gained muscles. It was odd seeing them, having never really taken time to work out but now I looked like I had been working out for a week straight. “This is… weird. Is this because of my heritage?” I asked in a low tone, a question meant for myself. I soon noticed that my mom came over to me and kneeled down to me.

“Are you alright?” She asked me.

“I could be better but I'm alright.” I said with a sigh of relief once my headache fully subsided. “I'm still pretty pissed that he sat on my chair though.” I muttered to myself. She stared at me for a moment before shaking her head before pulling me into a hug.

“Well, that’s all nice and sweet.” My grandfather said. “I just… be goi-herp!” I looked over to see him tied up with golden ropes.

“Sorry but you’re not going anywhere.” Mom said with a frown. He rolled his eyes as she looked back at me. “I’ll deal with him, go back to your friends and see if they’re alright.” I nodded and shakingly stood up and stretched a little bit, my attire of torn and burnt clothes almost look like I was wearing a robe. I began to head back to town, following the flaming tracks I left behind like bread crumbs. The rustling of bushes had caught my attention and I looked over towards the direction it came from just before seeing Irena walk out from a bush. Her clothes were a bit ripped up and dirty with dirt and mud but she stopped when she saw me and stared. It was a little awkward for me to stare at her as it looked like she went through a dark forest to try and find me.

“I guess I'm not the only one who had a rough day.” I said jokingly to break the silence. I soon saw her get teary eyed as she ran over and hugged me. I was surprised when she did this but eventually hugged her back. When we finally parted from the hug, I picked her and and opted to carry her since she must've been exhausted. She didn't seem at all opposed to this so I carried her back to town and once we exited the forest, we met up with Blake who was sitting back a crater. “Hey, you alright?” I asked, gaining her attention. She looked at me with a frown.

“Yeah… yeah I’m fine…” She said before pushing herself up. “I think I’m done with today, too much crazy… I want to go home and sleep.” Before I could say something Blake headed off towards her home. I knew something was up because she’s not this quiet before but I'd have to leave that for some other time. Heading into town, I saw that almost everything was back to normal, a few of the houses that defied gravity earlier had crashed down to the ground by the looks of it. As I walked down the streets and finally getting to my home I put Irena down and was about to walk in when I saw Ange from the corner of my eyes… only she was wearing a hoodie and had the hood up with some baggy pants. I could tell it was here because she wore a green hoodie that I bought for her a few weeks back.

“Hey Ange.” I greeted her, catching her attention and when she looked up at me, to say that she was surprised was putting mildly.

“Ah… brah… huh… la…” Was all Ange could say before her eyes rolled up into her head and she fell backwards. Both me and Irena blinked at this before Irena frowned up at me, thinking this was my fault.

“I'll have you know I have nothing to do with her fainting.” I said to Irena. Irena put her hands on her hips and looked at me with said frown. I rolled my eyes before picking up Ange off the ground though when I did, I felt that she was lighter than before and I highly doubt it was because of her. I shook my head from these thoughts before heading inside with Irena in tow. I soon placed Ange on the couch, making sure she was as comfortable as she can be when I did. When I was done I saw she had a goofy smile on her face and a blush. I chuckled at this before heading upstairs to get some better clothes on. I opted to only wear pants for now, enjoying the warm air of the house after being out in the cold forest.

Walking back downstairs Irena was sitting on the floor with a book in her hands as Ange was still passed out. I knew that she wouldn't wake up without a little help, so I headed into the kitchen and began to prepare some tea, which drew in Irena’s interests. Irena sat up on a stool in front of the counter that separated the kitchen with the living room. Halfway through making the tea, the scent of it began to fill the room and it slowly made its way to Ange. After a few minutes, it was finally done and I began to pour some for Irena before pouring a cup for me and Ange. With both cups in hand, I headed back into the living room in time to see her stir awake. Her eyes fluttered open as she pushed herself up.

“Uhh… what happened?” She asked as she rubbed her head. I chuckled a little before answering her.

“I actually wanted to ask you that myself.” I said to her, handing her cup of tea before she looked up at me. She stared at me for a few moments before speaking… or tried to.

“Uhh, brah… fuaaa… oh…” She said in gibberish. I blinked a little in confusion before putting a hand on her shoulder.

“Everything okay, Ange?” I asked her with concern in my tone. She stared at me for another few moments when Irena looked at the both of us, sipping her tea.

“You… look different…” Ange said, normally though her shaking hands suggested that she was trying her best to not speak gibberish again. I then remembered the change in my body, the newly added and very noticeable muscles and even a few inches in height were added. I chuckled a little at this while rubbing the back of my head.

“Is it really that noticeable?” I asked Ange with a little smile. With what little I've learned from my madman of a grandfather, unlocking some of my true potential would have physical side effects on my body. She simply nodded at me as she stared.. “You don't… mind the sudden change?” I asked her, a blush forming on both our cheeks.

“Uhh… n-no…” Ange said, still staring. I blinked at her as she started to drool a bit. We simply looked at one another and before we knew it, we couldn't keep our hands away from one another before we quickly went upstairs into my room. I was surprised when I felt Ange push me onto my bed, having never known she could push me so easily. She didn't say anything, simply straddling me and removing her hoodie before discarding it to the side, that was when she began slowly taking off her top, a simply green tank top she wore under her hoodie. When she took it off, I could only smirk when I saw that she wore no bra though maybe I should question that for later. For now however, we have some fun.
