I had decided on going into the mountains this time and made a new home in a remote cave at the foot of the second tallest mountains. A river wasn't too far from the cave which would help me get food, and let me still be able to clean myself on reasonably regular bases. The day after I have abandoned the old homestead I had sent my clones into the forest with my swords to cut trees to used able for the building of a gate at the cave mouth. I had also sent a clone to see what had happened to my home. He dispelled himself, and I received the information he had gathered. Guards were watching my house, and the house itself was ransacked from top to bottom. Guess they hoped to catch me off guard or at least find out where else I'd go to a hideout. In truth I wasn't hiding I just had no interest in their life's but what the three said last night bothered me. What kind of world collars and reducates the male gender if they step out of line.

“Move!”

I heard a female voice yell then was followed by a whip crack, and a male voice screamed. I ran out of my cave then I looked over to the river. There was a large group of stallions surrounded by mares and in chains sitting in cages with the stronger looking stallions pulling the cages. On their back were old and fresh whip marks some still bleeding. A great rage filled me as I looked down to them, my anger driving me to act as I saw a mare drew a whip back to strike the stallions again. I stomped my left foot on the ground sending a shock wave through the rock and reached the large group. All of them looked up at me, and I used my darkness to make myself look more intimidating. I could see a scarf like a trail of darkness coming from my neck and on my chest had formed the magatama beads like on the sage of the six paths kimono. The darkness spread down the top of my arms and left the underside of my arm white. The darkness covered my shoulders and spikes formed on them. I felt the darkness spread to my back up and face, but I wasn't sure what it covered or looked like. I jumped from my overlook of the river a cloud of dust following me as I flew high in the sky. I came crashed down into the middle of a group mares. "Face my wrath!" I swung my right fist and slammed into a mares right rib cage breaking all the ribs and caved in the rib cage. She threw up a mouth full of blood as she was sent through a tree breaking the tree in two.

"Starry!"

I another mare jumped at me a kife in hands. I drew Lostvanye from my side as I moved her arm to the side as she tried to stab me and she missed the attack. I swung to the side quickly and a red line formed across her stomach then as she tried to step back her top half fell off her lower half. I smiled as I swung my sword again then cut her upper half down the middle making her blood and guts fall to the ground scaring everyone around me. I turned my head and saw a few mares in golden armor and the one who was holding the whip was out front with a young colt in front of her on the ground a fresh whip wound on his back. I looked at the mare with the whip, and she flinched as I looked at her. "You're coming with me, but I'll handle you later after I settle things here." I activated Obito mangekyou sharingan, and the black spinning gate sucked the mare into the Kamui dimension.

"Captain Ruby!"

I looked around quickly and counted ten mares, and one bird like woman weighted chained alone in a cage. I dashed to the closest armored mare and cut her stomach open as I ran past her. "One." I hard right as I slashed another mare blood sprayed from her chest. "Two." I appeared behind two mares and quickly stabbed both from behind. "Four." I grabbed a sword from one of them as I moved to the next mare. I covered the sword I took in black and purple flames as I charged the remaining five mares. "DIED!" I swung the flaming blade and sent the flames onto the group buring them to death. I threw the spare sword away as I turned to the stallions. "Move back from the bars, please." They moved back, and I swung Lostvayne cutting the bars. The bars fell to the ground as I moved to the next one and so on until I reached the last cage holding an anthropomorphic eagle, I think. She was about a foot and six inches taller then me if I had to guess her height. She had brown fur and feathers on her wings, Her head was full of white feathers and three at the top of her head were purple with purple eyeshade. She was wearing a loss fitting shirt with tight jeans that show her curves off. I looked over the chains holding her and saw at they were made to hold stronger beast or great weight. "Give me a second, and I'll have you, free miss."

"Just kill me like you did the rest."

I stopped as I looked at her as I lowered Lostvayne. "Why?"

She looked down to a box in the far side of her cage, and I looked at it as well.

"My mother's and father's head are in that box. Prince Blueblood ordered their execution since they refused to any him to marry me."

I sheath Lostvayne as I was now genuinely curious about her story. "Why did he have them executed?" She looked at me out of the corner of her eye, and I could see bags under her eyes clear sign she's hadn't slept for some time.

"My family is blood-related to the royal family, but we do not associate with them since my grandmother died. But, Blueblood didn't care as he just wanted to arrange a marriage that would give him a shot at becoming the next king of the griffon empire. We explained that my cousin Strong Eagle is next in line be he wouldn't listen to us. Then my mother threw him out by force he said get me one way or another."

I nodded as I learned this information which was a little different from what I was used too. Monarchy, if I had to guess, was the primary way countries were run in this world. I sighed and grabbed the bars then ripped the door off the hinges. She looked at me shocked as I threw the door a good fifty feet away before climbing into the cage on wheels. I walked over to her and grabbed the chains holding her. As I started to break the chins, I talked to her. "If you'd like I can bring them back." I broke the chains holding her legs as I spoke.

"You can do that?"

I nodded as I started on the chains holding her arms and body down. "Yes, I have a power called the Rinne Tensei Jutsu, but first I have to use the Impure World Reincarnation jutsu. First I have to take their heads so I can get their DNA then I'm going to need two sacrifices to act catalysis to hold their souls in the physical world. I can use the mare I took a few seconds ago but I still need another sacrifice, but you are not an option." I saw the look in her eyes as I talked to her and knew the thought crossed her mind. The last chain was connected to steel collar around her neck. "Hold still for me I'm going to have to cut this one." I drew Lostvanye and quickly cut the collar in two freeing her. "Ok, let go and get this going, miss." I put a hand under the wings on her back, and my other arm under her knees then got on one knee then lifted her as I stood.

"H-hey!"

"Stop," I spoke calmly but with the authority in my tone showing that I was in control of what was happening from this point on. I looked down at her as her cheeks turned a light shade of red and she looked down at my hand holding her arm.

"Thank you."

I smiled as I jumped down from the cage and over to the river where the stallions were drinking and washing the blood from their bodies farther down from where the others were drinking. "Sit here while I see if I can get one more living sacrifice." I kneeled and sat her down, but she grabbed my arm. I looked her in the eyes as she pulled me back down.

"If you can bring them back I'm yours. I'll do anything you want me to give you anything I can."

I smiled as I grabbed her head that was holding my arm. "There is no need for that miss all I ask is that you and your family get out of this country before Blueblood realizes your free." She looked at me the forlorn look in her eyes gone as for the first time she smiled at me. She let me go then pulled her legs up into her chest as I turned and walked over to the mare I cut over the stomach. She was brightly alive, but she’d work. I opened the Kamui dimension, and the mare fell out onto the, and I grabbed her head before she could get up then slammed the side of her head into my knee. She was knocked out from my hit, and I let fall to the ground. One of the stallions brought the box over to me, and I thanked him. “Impure World Reincarnation jutsu!” Black lines formed on the ground and a large black circle formed under the two mares. Once that was done. I grabbed the box and ripped the top off of the box. I grabbed another female head and saw it was a close match the Griffon I cut free the only difference being that the feather's on her head was pure black at the tips. I put the head on guard I cut across the stomach then took the male head out. His feathers were red with yellow tips, and his beck was longer and a more significant size than the other two. I put his head in the second mare then clapped my hands and weaved the hand signs to finished the Jutsu.

"What is he doing and what is that magic?"

I heard a few stallions talking as I started to cast the Jutsu. Paper covered both the heads and bodies then as we watched the bumps at where the heads slowly sank into the mass then the bodies started to change. The male body size stayed the same, but it buffed out as a set of wings formed on the back. A lion tail formed, and I guessed griffon was the right thing to call them. A suit formed on him as his body formed and when his body had formed I looked over to the female. The body had shrunk it has become more curvy and slender giving her the appearance of a young woman who seemed to be in her prime, and she had a double b cup chest the smallest I've seen, so I have to guess that is the c average size. The wings of the guard I used as has her sacrifice had doubled as well. A red dress had formed on her body than when both their bodies finished their eyes opened, and they jumped up, and I saw the eyes of the reanimated souls. The father immediately lunged forward as he stood as if to grab someone who wasn't there anymore.

"Get off of my..."

He stopped seeing that whoever he was after wasn't there. He looked around and saw me his wife and their daughter.

"W-what is going on how are we..."

I waved my hand, and he looked at me, and I held up one finger. "I'm using my power to pull your souls to the physical world." I then pointed my finger down to the ground. "Side down because the body you have isn't complete just yet. I still have to perform the Resurrection Jutsu on the two of you." I clapped my hands to together then purple flames erupted from the ground as it shock from a sudden movement. The, a large head shot out from the center flames with the Rinnegan in both eyes. "The king of hell, long time since I've last used this Jutsu. But, I have a promise to keep to your daughter." I feed a considerable amount of chakra into the King of hell then he rose higher into the air. He looked down at them then opened his mouth going down his throat, and green energy poured out of his mouth. The energy flew two the griffons then once all the green energy had entered their new bodies the King of hell went back underground, and the fire died out. Steam came off of their bodies as the cracks from the Reincarnation disappeared. Where their eyes were black turned white as they returned to the mortal plane.

"No way, how could you do something like this?"

The one I carried out of the cage walked up beside me as her parents stood up. I looked at and saw that I overestimated her height as she was only nine inches taller than me. I smiled as she jumped at them and while they hugged the edges of my vision started to turn black. "Crap I overdid it." I began to fall when I heard a few stallions yell and I saw the griffon girl looked back at me you reached for me.

Gilda pov

I hugged my mother and father as if this was a dream, but I could feel my mothers claws digging into my back as she and I clung to one another.

"SIR!"

I turned my head and saw the creature falling to the ground. I let my father go to try, and grab him but my mother caught my arm I pulled away from them. He dropped to the ground, and as he laid on the ground the purple, black stuff on his body faded out. A half mask on his face that was made of the same stuff faded out, and I saw that from how small his body was he must young if I had to guess but powerful.

"Gilda, what is that thing?"

I looked back at my dad but had no answer for him. "I don't know, but I do know he revived you, so we have to help him." I pulled my arm free then quickly got up as I moved to check on him. But, as I was about to walk over to him, the buffer stallions who were pulling the cages grabbed the swords and spears left from the dead guards. They got in between him and me as the younger colts and stallions grabbed his arms then lifted him A large stallion with a green coat and black hair walked out first two swords in hand.

"We'll be taking him with us, and you need to leave before the recovery team comes to find all of us. In three days meet us on the outskirts of the everfree forest. We can risk being recaptured now that we may have found a way to have a fight chance for our Revolution."

I wanted to fight him on that, but he was right. The royal sisters wouldn't take a group of revolutionary stallion running free lightly, so we had to get away from this group, but I didn't want to leave my debt unpaid. "Wait let me come with you. I told him I was his if he could bring them back."

"Gilda you said what!?"

I looked back at my mother and rubbed my arm as I looked at her. "I- I just wanted to give him a reason to do it if he had a reason to do it, but he turned me down." My dad looked at me then at the stranger.

"He turned you down?"

I nodded as I looked at him. " All he asked for was that we get out of this country before Blueblood realizes I was free and you were alive." My mom and dad looked at one another then looked at him. My dad stood up then walked over to the stallions.

"My name his Great Wind high noble of griffonstone. I can offer all of you asylum in our city, and the princesses know if they try to take you while under asylum Equestria can lose their place in the peace agreement with the surrounding kingdoms."

The large stallion seemed to be thinking about it. Then before any of us could four more of identical look-alikes burst through the trees. One vanished, and the next thing we saw was the group around him was threw one of them into the air, and one was sent flying into a tree. He fell to the ground, and the one that sent the stallion flying stood in front of him the sword from the original's side. He looked at my father as he stood between him and my mother and me. His stance relaxed as he looked at him then looked at the ground were that head thing had come up from. He relaxed fully as two of the disappeared into smoke then the one being held up shook and his eyes.

"Boss you brought then back didn't you?"

He stood up but almost fell, but one of the look-alikes grabbed him.

"Ya, you guys dispel yourself I need the extra chakra."

"Right."

The other two turned to smoke then he stood on his own but was still shaky. I stood up and tried to walk over, but my dad put his arm up. "Dad?"

"We don't know what that was he could be more dangerous then he seems. He looked at the forest and grabbed the sword from the ground.

"You all need to leave the princesses are coming this way fast."
