The parrot walked down the hallway at a steady pace. He could hear the princesses talking at the end of the hall. If anything went wrong, he wanted to be there so he could know immediately.

"Well, Celestia?"

"I'll answer if you answer my question."

He hid behind the doorframe, barely peeking to see what was happening.

"Why are you being so hostile?"

The parrot looked below Twilight. Well, I already see a possible reason why.

"Rainbow Dash has a Stand and three of my other friends will probably get one sooner or later. So I'm clearly going to be worried about who the Stand Hunter is targeting."

Twilight turned around as Celestia dropped her head and ears, only for her ears to perk right back up.

"And this... thing. Is this a Stand? Is this your Stand?" Twilight looked back at Celestia. "Are you going to answer me?"

"Twilight."

A "vein" shot below Twilight, then whipped out from under her, slamming something against the wall without making a sound.

"Of course I will answer you. But I need you to calm down first."

Twilight opened her mouth, then closed her mouth and eyes. "Alright. I'll try to stay calm."

A humanoid Stand picked up the object slammed against the wall. How long has this Stand been here? It seems like it was the reason Twilight turned so aggressive, but was it influencing me as well? The small Stand wiggled around in the humanoid Stand's grasp, prompting the humanoid Stand to crush it. It wasn't very tough. Hopefully, that's the end of that. Let's just hope cleaning up its mess is just as easy.

Celestia sighed. "I suppose I should start with the obvious. That tube back there. I assume you've already figured this out, but that is my Stand. I call it Heart. The tube itself is unbreakable, and I can create up to five of them at a time. I can only create them at a short-range, but they don't seem to go away no matter how far away I get. Furthermore, I can control those vines at the top and base."

Twilight looked at the weird masses attached to the tube and tilted her head. "Vines?"

Celestia giggled. "What did you think those were? Lumps of flesh?" Celestia walked towards Twilight. "When my Stand was born, I had just lost someone. Someone that was as close to me as you are. When that happened, I swore to myself that I wouldn't let anyone harm someone so close to me ever again. From that strong desire, my Heart was born. When someone awakens a Stand while they have a strong desire, that Stand typically has abilities to help fulfill that desire."

Twilight swallowed.

"Is something wrong?"

"Well, there's no way for you to do that. To protect everyone would require you to have eyes everywhere."

"I do."

Twilight's head whipped around. "Excuse me?"

"Almost all Stand Users that are currently known are under my employment, such as Blues or Sandbar. Even Rainbow Dash works for my cause, even if she doesn't know it. After all, she helped prevent a zombie apocalypse from hitting Ponyville."

"But what about the Stand Hunter? Wouldn't they just try to take all of them out?"

"Didn't I just address this? Almost all Stand Users that are currently known are under my employment. Including the Stand Hunter."
