Bonding Level

Morning came as Solo was standing with his arms crossed as Jelly was bowing to him while bawling her eyes out "I'm so sorry for what I did to you!" she screamed as Solo had his eyes shut “I thought I could control my Siren urges but I was deep in thought on how to get back at you!” She said as she realized her misunderstanding “THAT’S NOT WHAT I MEAN!!!” She said since she was terrified as shit knowing what Solo could do to her.

“Shut it…” He said as she shut her mouth as Solo opened a letter in front of her. “You pervert of a mother had this sent to me when you become a horny monster.” He said as Jelly snatched it and pouted.

“Damn it mom! Those tools you gave me failed.” She said as Solo held one of them that was broken in half with his magic. “Oh shit…”

“Your urges got to you, but I hope this won’t be me.” He said as Jelly looked away as she was depressed.

“I’m so sorry. If there’s anything you want, I’ll do it.” Said Jelly as she looked up “Except sex because we already did that.”

“Correction; it was rape for me, and I don’t want to remember how I got you to fell asleep.” Said Solo as Jelly blushed a bit.

“Nor do I.” She said, “Like I said before; anything and I swear on my Siren Guardian Honor.” She repeated what she said before as Solo didn’t react a bit.

“We’re going to a few dungeons until I can forgive you.” He said as Jelly’s eyes nearly popped out.

“Oh, my ocean…” She said as she did realize that she missed not going to the dungeons “Uh… can you ask for something else?”

“You swore on your honor!” He said as Jelly turned red and pouted.

“Alright… Will I-”

“You won’t be fighting.” Answer Solo as she sighed in relief but… she’ll regret it later. “Now… we better get dressed.” He said since they were both naked. “I’m having a strange feeling that it was common in another universe?” He said Jelly and he got dressed. “We tell no one about what happened in this room.” Said Solo as Jelly put on her bikini top and clothes.

“We might also need to wash the sheets to hide the smell and stains.” Said Jelly as they removed the bed sheets and bed covers as they put them in the wash. They did all that as they hid it from Aza and Sky as they told them nothing happened as they left the house.

“Jelly did Solo, didn’t she?” Said Sky as Aza pulled out a letter.

“Mom & Dad sent this warning from Uncle Beach. Apparently Jelly will go through some Siren instincts before she could fully mature.” Said Azza as Sky looked annoyed.

“I hope it’s not every day.” Said Sky “I don’t want them to be like mom & dad.” They both shuddered in disgust.

Solo and Jelly were heading to a huge forest as a certain Pegasus appeared before them “Stop!” She said as she smiled “Oh! Mr. Solo Level. It’s nice to see you again!” She said as Jelly turned her head.

“Again?” She said with a little venom.

“I landed on her house after being repelled trying to see a certain princess about those chains that she and her accomplice wrapped me in.” He said as Jelly’s eyes shrank since she knew what she’s talking about. “Anyway, my sea angel. This is Fluttershy, an animal caretaker and Fluttershy, this is Jelly Lyric, my fiancé.” He said as Fluttershy turned red.

“Oh! I… didn’t know.” She said as she noticed Jelly’s tail. “Uh… Not to be rude, what is your species?” She asked as Jelly looked at her with a tilted head. “I've never seen a creature like you.” She said as Jelly nodded.

“I understand. Normally Ponies looked disgusted at me for being a Siren.” She said as her tail drooped as Fluttershy grabbed her hands.

“OH! I’m not saying anything bad about you! I think you look very… beautiful.” She said Jelly smiled as she met some creature that said she’s beautiful.

“Thank you.” Said Jelly as her tail wagged as Fluttershy turned to Solo.

“Uh… Solo. If it’s not much of a bother? Can I take care of Ivy for you?” She said as Jelly turned to Solo.

“She wants to take Ivy?” Said Jelly “I mean… she’s… unique.” She said as Solo crossed his arms.

“Why?”

“Because! I find her so… CUTE!!!” She squealed as Solo backed away.

(“I don’t know if she’s an animal molester or obsessed animal otaku?”) Thought Solo as Jelly looked at Solo.

“Well… it’s not my choice. It's Solo’s.” She said as Solo looked at Fluttershy and sighed.

“Fine but do not let her get sent away by the other ponies.” Said Solo as he used his magic to summon Ivy. Ivy yawned as she saw Fluttershy.

*Whimper*

“Yeah… I feel your discomfort.” Said Solo as Fluttershy petted her. “Listen Ivy.” Ivy turned to Solo “You’ll be spending time with Fluttershy.” Said Solo as Ivy looked confused. “She… wants to know you better. Just without all your pieces and don’t eat her animal friends.” He said as she turned to Fluttershy.

*Puppy barks*

“What do you mean you won’t stop and smack those who deserve it?” Asked Fluttershy as Solo knows what she means.

“Just don’t kill them.” Said Solo as Fluttershy gasped in shock hearing that. “Ivy… has magic of her own.” Said Solo as Ivy had a vine growing out from her back which surprised Fluttershy as a thornless rose grew from it.

“Oh…” Said Fluttershy as she plucked it “Thank you.” She said Ivy followed her but looked back at Solo. He nodded as Ivy nodded.

“Are you sure Ivy is safe with her?” Asked Jelly as Solo turned to her. “I mean remember that Timberwolf hunt and eat any prey they find. Also, there are ways to send them away with loud noises like banging pots together or end them.” She explained as Solo didn’t even flinch.

“Remember, Ivy is not only a member of our family but a summon creature. The only way to get rid of her is for me to die and I have faced death many times before accepting it.” He said as Jelly did shudder, the memory of that giant shark chomped Solo’s wings before he healed himself and restored them back.

“Yes…” She said as they went to the forest.

“I’ve been hearing that some of the locals are afraid of this forest. Don’t know why?” He said.

“They call this place the Everfree Forest. They’re scared because plants grow and the clouds move all on their own without any magic or manipulation, Ferocious beasts roam about inside along with common animals who can take care of themselves.” She explained as Solo narrowed his eyes.

(“Seriously? Okay except for the ferocious beasts, but they’re freaked out that nature controls itself. I guess it makes sense since if they can control it, they fear it.”) Solo shook his head in annoyance. “It’s just like my old life.”

“Excuse me?” Asked Jelly.

“Nothing.” He as they entered the forest as no pony was brave or stupid enough to stop them. As they entered the forest, Solo looked at the beauty in fear. “Lovely isn’t it?” He said as Jelly nodded as Solo pulled out a key.

[Item: Dungeon Key]
Item Class: D
A key that allows you to enter an Instant Dungeon. You may use this on a large boulder or a mountain.

“Let’s go love fish.” Said Solo as Jelly looked embarrassed when he said that as they entered the forest. When they went through the forest Jelly looked amazed by the surroundings.

“Wow… this is almost as beautiful as the ocean floor… almost.” She said as Solo smirked.

(“Sirens will always view the sea more beautifully than land.”) He thought as they both continued their walk towards a large rock as Solo pulled out the key. “Prepare for hell.” Said Solo.

10 Minutes Later
Jelly was shocked to see Solo’s shadow warriors making mincemeat to living rock creatures as Solo was watching them. He looked at her as she continued what he asked her to do, mined Mana Stones. She continued to mine the Stones as she was sweating bullets as the shadow soldiers collected the Stones. “Mining for these Stones? What are they for again?” She asked as Solo turned to her.

“These shards are how I made a living.” Said Solo “I collect the shards and sell them through my unique magic.” He said, “How did you think I could afford the house and your indoor water room?” He said as Jelly turned to Solo.

“I thought Celestia paid for the construction?”

“There’s no way in Hades that I will owe her! I refuse to be indebted to someone… again.” He said as Jelly looked confused

“Again? What do you mean? You owe some creature a favor or a debt to pay?” She said as Solo stared off into space.

Flashback, Previous Life
XXXX was with a friend of his, at a bar as he was drinking while his friend was flirting with 2 sexy babes as XXXX was annoyed that he was watching that. “My one regret was becoming your wingman for this.” Said XXXX as his friend laughed.

“Well, if it wasn’t for me for buying that mana potion, you would have been food to those serpents.” Said XXXX’s friend as he rolled his eyes.

“I will never owe anyone for the existence of my soul.” He said as he took a drink.
End of Flashback

Solo shook his head “Never… again…” he said as Jelly looked worried for him as she continued mining.

“Why does Solo not want to owe anyone?” She wondered as one of the rock creatures grabbed her. “AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!” She screamed so loud that her voice blasted the rock creature holding her. Solo turned around as he went to Jelly.

“Are you okay?” He said as Jelly moved shoulder.

“Yes. It’s not your fault. I wasn’t careful.” She stood up. “I can see why you’re always angry. You’re always fighting to live.” Said Jelly as she looked at him. “I know you’re worried about me, but I can fight for myself.” She said as she pulled her trident out. “I can jab any monster between the eyes if you want me to?” She said as she grabbed her pickaxe and twirled it as she placed them both on her shoulders which impressed Solo.

“I… uh…” Baffled Solo as Jelly wrapped her tail on him and dragged him closer to her.

“I understand.” She said as she gained confidence. “I just hope this isn’t a daily thing for you.” She said that Solo noticed his shadows except for Tybalt were spinning their wrists at Solo and Jelly as Solo shook his fist at them as they went back to work.

“Ugh… I swear they need some discipline.” He said Tybalt nodded with that statement as they continued their work.

5 Dungeons later
Solo had his shadows kill the 1st dungeon boss, a large golem with Mana Stones sprouting out from his back, the 2nd dungeon had goblins and a large hobgoblin as a dungeon boss, 3rd dungeon had giant termites and a colossal spider as a dungeon boss, the 4th dungeon had Kobolds and a Kobold Lord as a dungeon boss, and the 5th had giant poison-spitting frogs as a dungeon boss. After the dungeons, Solo was relaxing near a pond as Jelly was relaxing in the pond as she grabbed a fish and bit its head off. “You would scare off any ponies. Especially Fluttershy.” Said Solo as Jelly turned to him.

“I am an omnivore. I eat kelp and fish, it’s a common diet for Sirens.” She said as she consumed the rest of the fish.

“Along with negative emotions you get by singing.” He answered as Jelly pouted.

“I admit to that, but you are a geyser of negativity. You’re mad, angry, and filled with rage. You would be a feast for 2 dozen Sirens; 12 young ones and 12 mature ones.” She said as she swam towards Solo, he didn’t care.

“So true. Especially the murdering part of me.” He said as Jelly looked worried.

“You know, Celestia never did discovered how you got those papers on those slave trades when you were a colt.” Said Jelly.

“I doubt they’ll never find out because I refuse to go to prison.” Said Solo “The guards and prisoners will not live.” He said as he grabbed a rock.

“I think Tartarus is mostly where you’ll go.” Said Jelly. “Summon Shadow Soldiers and a Timberwolf that could grow large with an assembly of things other than branches and wood. You are a danger to Equestria if you can take down an Alicorn.” She said as Solo narrowed his eyes.

“That’s true.” He said as he looked at the time. “We better go home now, Jelly. I want to rest and get the laundry dried.” He said as Jelly came out of the pond and grabbed her clothes.

“We better go.” She said,

*BOOM*

Solo and Jelly turned to the sound as Solo witnessed a large net coming down on them but landed on Jelly. “WHAT THE FUCK?!” Yelled AI as he was hit with a magic beam.

“SOLO!!!” Screamed Jelly as a bunch of ponies in uniforms that covered their faces appeared with a carriage with a cage on wheels with some creatures in it who were in the shadows. Jelly turned to them looking scared but angry “WHO ARE YOU?!” She yelled as one of the ponies tasered her with a spell as she fell with being paralyzed. “Solo…” She said as she went unconscious. One of the ponies laughed at her.

“(Stallion Voice) Stupid fish. She should have stayed in the ocean where she belongs.” Said one of the ponies.

“(Mare Voice) And this poor foolish pony must have been a victim of its magic or ugliness.” Said the other as she went to Solo to move him “Stupid pony will forget everything after we feed him a potion to erase the memories of who he knows.” She said as she grabbed Solo as he opened his eyes.

[Longevity] nullify Paralysis

“Should have made a stronger stun spell.” Said Solo as he summoned his Dark Assassin’s Dagger in his hand.

[Fatal Strike]

Solo jabbed his dagger in the mare’s neck as blood splashed on him which shocked the assailants. “WHAT THE FUCK!?” Yelled one of them as Solo threw the body off his dagger.

“Who wants to die?” Said Solo as his eyes flashed an ominous blue as the assailants backed away in fear.

“Let’s get the fuck out of here!!!” Yelled one of the assailants as some dropped Jelly as they got on the carriage as Solo charged at them.

[Sprint]

Solo attacked one of them and stabbed the pony in the heart as he pulled it out as it was covered in blood. “GET BACK HERE!” He yelled as he chased after them. One of the unicorn assailants used magic to levitate the carriage to escape but Solo stopped and raised his hand.

[King’s Hand]

Solo’s hand glowed as he pulled it as the carriage stopped in midair as some fell off as the Pegasus assailants took flight as they went to save their comrades as Solo dragged the carriage towards him as the assailants charged at him.

“KILL THE TRAITOR!!!”

“KILL THE FISH!!!”

Solo turned to the assailants and frowned. “ARISE.”

He said as his shadow soldiers emerged from his shadow they blocked the assailants as they freaked out by the shadow soldiers. “WHAT THE… GAAHHH!!!” Screamed one of the assailants as they were stabbed by one of the knights as the archers fired shadow arrows at the pegasi assailants as they were hit in the wings as the thieves took the carriage and the mages battled with the unicorns. Solo smirked while enjoying the show.

“I miss my human life.” He said as he marched towards one of the assailants who was training to crawl away.

“I am but an innocent.” He said as Solo continued to march towards him “I was only trying to make Equestria a better place by putting those monsters in their place!” He yelled as Solo got up to him.

“You should have realized the monster that you’re putting in their place, is the one you’ve become.” He said as Solo stomped on the assailant’s head, crushing his head as he died. “Idiot.”

[You have level up]

Solo turned to the sight of the battle as all the assailants died as Tybalt carried Jelly in her arms. “Take her home and those who are in the cage as well without being seen with the thieves.” Said Solo as Tybalt nodded as he turned to the other shadows. “And the rest of you, loot some good stuff from their corpses, dig a large pit and turn it into a burn pit.” He said as some of the shadows nodded and did what Solo ordered.

Time later

Solo was looking over their IDs, an amount of 80 Bits and a list from the 19 assailants “Such low amounts to carry.” He said as the mages set the corpses a blaze. "I don't need shadows of those ponies. They weren’t that strong.” He said as he put them in a bag. “We better go.” Solo said as the soldiers returned to Solo’s shadows as he went home. As he went back home, he saw the cage and carriage was smashed up as trash debris. Solo entered his home to see Azza with Sky helping Jelly up.

“Welcome home brother.” Said Sky.

“We met your shadows and their rescue victims.” Said Azza. “They placed them in the basement.” She said as Jelly sat on a chair.

“Oh… that spell was worse than jellyfish stings.” She said as she tried to steady herself.

“You need to rest.” Said Sky. “Also, what the hell just happened?” She asked as Solo tossed the bag with their IDs.

“They’re dead. I had to fight back so they didn’t kill Jelly.” He explained as they understood.

“Well, we better send them to Celestia, so you don’t get sent to jail.” Said Azza as she grabbed her sunhat. “I’ll go get the groceries. Let me know if they’re awake because I think they need some therapy after this shit.” She said as Solo looked annoyed.

“I can imagine her expression.” He said.

Time Later

Celestia was staring at Solo with an unforgiving look. “Called it.”

“I can call it assault on an innocent creature, I can call it self-defense but what you’ve done is bloodshed.” She said Jelly looked worried so Solo.

“Said the one who hired former professional killers to kill those who are doing illegal shit under your rule.” Said Sky as Solo smirked.

“That’s my sis.” She said as Celestia groaned.

“You better have something for me in exchange for evidence?” She said as Solo placed the list in front of her. She read the list and shut her eyes. “I let it go for now.” She said as she grabbed the list but stopped “Are the victims okay?” She asked as Azza looked at her.

“They’re awaked but traumatized.” She said, “A female minotaur adult, a water dragon boy and ugh… a fire dragon boy.” She said with disgust when saying the ‘Fire Dragon’.

“Yeah, yeah. We know that you hate Fire Dragons because of your instincts as an Ice Dragon.” Said Solo as Azza snarled at him as he looked at Celestia “From what we gather, the 2 dragons are children while the minotaur despite her height is a fully mature adult.” He said as Celestia looked confused as Sky was holding 2 large balloons to her chest.

“Oh…” Said Celestia as she raised her brow to Solo.

“Don’t even think about it.” He said, “I’m not the one with life-size dolls of myself.” Which annoyed Celestia by that fact.

“Touché.” She said, “I hope your folks can aid in sending them back to their homes?” She said with hope, but they frowned. “I take it there’s a problem?”

“Unfortunately, no.” Said Azza “We can’t send them home unless we know where they come from and what those assailants did to them is how long their minds will heal and talk to us.” She explained.

“Water Dragons need to be in water to heal their wounds and time for the minotaur and Fire Dragon which I must control my instincts from harming him. Ice Dragons don’t like Fire Dragons and vice-versa.” She said as she went to her room.

“I’ll spend my time looking over them.” Said Sky “But my brother will watch over the night in case those assailants have back up coming here or his troops.” She said as Celestia looked at Solo who was looking outside.

“I doubt the slave traders will let this go.” He said Jelly looked scared.

“That taser spell was powerful enough to put me unconscious.” Said Jelly “And strange enough, Deep Trench Jellyfish stings are as powerful as that spell.” She explained as Solo raised his brow.

“Know any ponies whose talents involve knowledge on underwater life?” He asked as Celestia put some thought into it.

“Not to my knowledge but I shall ask your parents for their profession in gathering background information.” She said “Also, you all will be taking care of the victims until your parents can send them back home.” She said as she left their home.

“Great… more mouths to feed.” Said Solo as he paused. “Did we get Ivy back from Fluttershy?” He asked as Jelly looked shocked.

“Oh dear… she’s mad at us.” She said as both Solo and her left the house as Sky and Azza looked at each other.

“I’ll start making ice.” Said Azza.

“And I’ll make a veggie stew, fish stew and gem stew.” She said as Azza looked at her.

“How can you make a stew with gems in it?” She asked as Sky looked at her.

“Don’t know but I hope Solo doesn't get mad when I use one of his mana stones as the broth.” She said as they didn't know that Solo’s Shadow soldiers were attacking and capturing intruders that planned to attack their home. The Shadow Thieves muzzled them as they dragged them away as some foolishly tried to escape the scene.

Solo and Jelly made it to Fluttershy’s Cottage as they knocked on it as Fluttershy was holding Ivy with affection. “Uh… Sorry we’re late.” Said Solo.

“Oh! I’m sorry for not bringing Ivy to your home but I never did learn where you live.”

“It’s the house that’s far away from the town.” Said Jelly as Solo crossed his arms.

“I am not a fan living near strangers I’m not kind to. Mostly only pony places.” He said as Jelly grabbed his arm which made Fluttershy sad.

“Oh…”

“I’m an example for his dislike.” Said Jelly “There are no places where any other creatures that aren’t ponies living in your known locations that have mostly ponies that inhabited. Have you seen some dragons living in a town with ponies? Minotaurs in a village? Centaurs, Nagas, Satyrs or Sirens?” She asked as Fluttershy shook her head.

“I… haven’t traveled to different places except where my family lives.” She said, “I have never seen other creatures where they live since they live in the sky.” She said,

(“Still can’t understand how buildings in the sky haven’t sunk through them by their weight?”) Thought Solo.

“No ponies would live with them.” Said Solo. “Sky, Azza, Jelly, and I are prime examples of living peacefully with other creatures that are good but sometimes the prejudices from ponies come to hurt them not only physically but emotionally as well, creating the monsters they fear.” He said Jelly frowned.

“You cannot imagine how many ponies try to harpoon my race.” She said as Fluttershy hugged Jelly with tears in her eyes.

“I’m so sorry!” She said while crying as Jelly patted her head.

“It's alright. This shows you have a heart like a few others.” She said as she wagged her tail as Solo watched them. He smiled a bit at the sight as Ivy came out with an angry look.

“I know… I’m sorry.” He mutters to Ivy as he apologizes to her.
