Abigor POV:

I expected Celestia's Assassins would be sent soon, but I had no idea how soon. I sent for both Luna and someone who'd been in the Legion for around as long as I have.

"You sent for me my lord?" Asked a stern voice.

I poured a chalice of wine, not looking back at them.

"Yes, I believe that the Pony Princess, Celestia, wants my head. I trust you and your... family could... prevent that?" I asked, sipping from the chalice.

"My, lord! Surely you'd prefer the safety of the tower! Not the insecurity of the throne room!" They said incredulously. I turned my head sharply, looking at them out of the corner of my eye.

"Asano!" I hissed, "Do you question my orders?" I asked in a dangerous calm.

"Never!" They said devotedly, "I simply express concern for you! We grew up in the Legion together! I would rather I embrace death than live to see you do so!" They said, taking a step foreword, I see a flash of their armor. I sighed, and set the chalice down.

"Then do as I say. Or I will go to Asbjorn." I said, eliciting a slight chuckle from Asano.

"Asbjorn? Please. He couldn't save his own ass with both hands!" Asano said, laughter evident in their voice.

"Just... be ready." I said, lifting my hand to the various hiding places Asano's 'family' could hide in.

Asano stepped back and walked into the shadows. I heard a door open to my left, I turned to see Luna in a lovely evening dress. She smiled at me with something hidden behind her back. She seemed excited about something, although I had no idea what about.

"Abigor! I found something magical that you'd love! It's been crafted with metals from both my world and yours! I found it whilst going through the royal vault beneath the Den!" She said cheerfully. She pulled out something long covered in a heavy cloth. "Legend has it, King Sombra forged this to kill a... 'Paladin' I believe was the term. It was of another world, but there are no records of it, and nothing is written about the 'Paladin' except that it could use light magic to hurt and injure Sombra." She said, handing me the item.

I unwrapped the object, to reveal a sword. A sword as long as any other Warden blade, but it was... different. Unwrapping it fully, I was able to see the entire sword.

I gripped the hilt and heard a gentle, low, velvet voice caress the inside of my head.

"You. Are you to be my wielder?" Said the voice. I looked at the blade. "Speak your name, warrior." It said to me. I looked to the Onyx blade.

"Abigor, Warlord of the Blackstone Legion." I said to the sword, knowing Luna could not hear me as she talked with a nearby guard about getting something for the two of us to eat. "Can other people hear you?" I asked.

"No. Warlord Abigor, have you taken up the blade of Craven Edge? It asked.

"Is that what you are?" I asked the blade. It sighed slightly, before going quiet for a moment.

"Do you accept my power?" It asked.

"What kind of power?" I asked the sword.

"Do you enjoy drinking the strength of your foes, watching them beaten before you, and have that power become your own?" I pondered for a moment, before saying yes to it. "Do you accept, Abigor?"

"Abigor, would you care to sit down and enjoy this fine spread the chefs have prepared for us?" Luna asked just after the sword, Craven Edge, asked it's question.

I answered both truthfully, at the same time.

"Yes."

"Then it is done! Together, we will accomplish great things." It said as I Placed the blade at the table. Then Luna and I had a nice discussion of the nightlife of Equis. Eventually, when the food was gone, and Luna left to train the Equis soldiers.

I went back to the throne room, carrying my new blade and my chalice of wine. I heard the door faintly creak as someone sneaked through, but they were not alone.

"I suppose you thought you were hidden. Normally you would be." I said, turning my back to them. "But I have eyes, and ears... and hands everywhere." I said, I looked to my reflection in the window, counting the number of assassins in the throne room. After counting forty assassins, I looked to my reflection, my mask glistening in the torchlight.

"Isn't that right Asano?" I asked loudly, before the sound of an impact was heard throughout the room.

"Of course my lord!" said the voice of my old friend. I turned, my mask now off, to see a female Kensei pull her sword from the newly made corpse. She looked up at me, wiping the blood from her blade. three more shapes descended from the shadows, killing off three other assassins. A Shugoki stood from his crushed foe, counting the remaining enemies whilst a Nobushi did the same after pulling her weapon from the dead Pony.

"There's plenty for the both of us, may the best woman win!" The Nobushi shouted to the Shugoki, who laughed heartily, his voice thundering throughout the hall.

An Orochi simply sighed to himself, before stabbing a pony who'd tried to sneak up on him in the throat.

"Remind me who won last time?" He asked before cutting another pony in half, as the assassins were dressed in brown robes and no armor. "I believe I'm still in the lead Fujima." He said before Asano decapitated four in a single swing. Fujima, the Nobushi, impaled two on her Naginata.

"Oh come on Otake, keep up!" She said lightheartedly. Otake laughed before smashing two pony heads together before crushing a third with his Kanabo. I watched as the Orochi, named Hiruma, cut another pony into little pieces in seconds.

And so the group of four, having affectionately named themselves 'the family' years ago, carved a bloody swath through the ponies. eventually, only fourteen ponies were left. I took this opportune moment to heft Craven Edge up into an offensive stance.

"YES!" It said as I impaled the first of many on my blade. A feeling of intense euphoria filled me as the life faded from his eyes. The thirteen remaining looked at me without fear, not seeing the look Asano gave me. I wanted to kill them all, and send Celestia their heads.

They almost formed a line when they fought me, all I had to do was keep carving out massive chunks of flesh and a new one would take their place. It was almost as if time had slowed, and I could remain at the same speed. I ducked under a blade, sinking Craven Edge into the owner's chest before ripping it out sideways to block another sword, the blades met with sparks flying, I took this brief moment to count the remaining assassins. One.

"Yes Abigor! Give me their blood! I hunger!" said the blade, and I felt something emanate from the sword, and suddenly, the blade didn't feel so heavy, and the pony's strength wasn't hard to overpower anymore. I looked down to the fallen earth pony, feeling new strength swell in me as he tried to crawl back on his hands and hooves.

"I, Abigor of the Blackstone Legion, sentence you to death by the sword for crimes against the Legion." I said before lifting the pony up by his throat, placing the blade just below the center of his ribcage before driving it up into his body. After I killed him, I turned to The Family as they counted their kills.

"I got six." Asano said.

"Same here." Said Otake.

"Ditto!" Chimed Fujima

"I got Eight." Hiruma said, before looking to me. "How many have fallen by your blade my lord?" He asked.

I briefly looked around me, recounting the bodies, before coming to a conclusion.

"Fourteen." I said simply. The shocked looks on their faces are a sight I pray I never forget.

"Um... I guess that means that Lord Abigor wins?" Asked Fujima. I laughed aloud, gaining their gazes once more.

"Count my kills as Asano's kills. Without her, I'd be dead in The Myre." I said, eliciting a groan from Hiruma and a cheer from Fujima.

"The best woman won!" She squealed before tallying up their various wins over the years, Hiruma now barely in the lead. I left the throne room, eager for sleep.

Main Six POV:

After being stuck in the dungeon for a day, Twilight was running out of ideas. Every time she thought up a plan to escape, the Warden would simply explain how it'd crash and burn. Rainbow Dash was doing wing-ups and swearing under her breath, most of those swear-words were directed at Abigor. Rarity was taking advantage of the darkness to catch up on some 'much needed beauty rest'. Applejack was trying to buck the bars of her cell, praying that they'd break eventually. Fluttershy was taking care of a few mice and rats that'd scurried into her cell. But Pinkie Pie...

While all of her friends were either despairing or trying to prepare, she was using one of many hairpins hidden in her many curls to pick the lock of her cell. After the fiftieth lock broke, she felt something small crawl out of her hair, and slip between the bars of her cell. She watched as a small, toothless, green alligator scampered about in the darkness.

"Gummy! Go get the keys!" She whisper-yelled to the alligator.

Out in the darkness, the sound of a door opening and closing was heard, and Pinkie quickly beckoned for Gummy to return. But he didn't. Instead, he made his way to the Warden, flitting from shadow to shadow. The Warden turned to the sound of the door to see a Lawbringer holding a large bowl with steam curling out of it.

"Captain Luna orders you to eat." He said without much emotion. He then handed her the bowl, not seeing the green alligator hidden beneath the Wardens chair. Gummy turned to look at the six girls, and stuck his tongue out, licking his right eyeball. "To be honest, we both know that disobeying one of her orders means Abigor will order you, and you'll have to eat it cold." The Lawbringer said before walking away, up a stairwell into the castle.

The Warden set her food down on a table next to her, her keys jingled and jangled as she shifted in her chair. Gummy gently poked his head out from under the chair, now staring at the keys. A new force driving him, he managed to get his toothless maw on the keyring. The Warden was still eating her food, and not noticing the feel of the key's weight leave her side, as she was still dressed in her full set of armor.

Eventually Gummy went from shadow to shadow, but after leaving the final shadow... There was something missing.

Gummy had hidden the keys.
