//-------------------------------------------------------// Ip man adventure in Equestria -by Timothy1509- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue U.S marine's training headquarters In the U.S marine's training headquarters, a military marine named Barton Geddes and a Chinese Wing chun grandmaster named Ip man were squarring off in a hand to hand combat match to prove if Chinese Kung Fu is more effective in a combat situation, and Barton was having more of an upper hand in fighting Ip man. "Hiyah!" Barton yelled as he slammed Ip man on the floor. "Oof." Ip man grunted, he was severly injured. Barton then stood up and looked at Ip man with a proud look, because he has defeated another Chinese person. "Is that it?" Barton asked. "Is this how good your Chinese Kung Fu is?" Ip man tried to get up but he soon met an excruciating pain in his stomach. "Your pathetic." Barton scoffed "You and your Chinese friends are nothing but a bag of trash in the junkyard!" Barton insulted which enraged staff sergeant Hartman. Ip man wasn't going to give up that easily, he slowly placed both of his hands on the floor and slowly pushed himself up on his feet. After he has done that, he extended in left hand forward in front of him and placed his right hand next to it telling him that he wasn't going to give up and leave that easily. "Master Ip man." Staff sergeant Hartman said while looking at him with a perturbed expression. "So you want to resume on getting yourself beaten up by me old man?" Barton asked "Just face it, your Chinese martial art is no match for my karate!" He insulted with a chuckle. "It's not about which is the best sir. It's about how good we're using them." Ip man told him. "Cut the talking! Let's continue!" Barton yelled as he charged up towards Ip man and attempted to sidekick him in the face, but Ip man was able to block the attack with his wrist. Barton then attempted to punch him in the face, but again Ip man was able to counter the attack with his wrist. Ip man then attempted to knife hand him across the face, but his arm was grappled by Barton's right hand, Barton then landed a kick to his chest which made Ip man grunt but he was still able to keep his balance. Ip man then freed himself by kicking Barton in the face and it was a direct hit. And Barton staggered backwards. Barton then gently touched his face and felt a little pain, he must assume that the Chinese grandmaster has bruised his face. He then starred at Ip man with an enraged expression. "You are gonna pay for that you bastard." Barton growled, but Ip man ignored his remark. "You think you are so cool with your Chinese martial arts?" Barton asked "We Americans don't follow any of you illegal aliens, it is you all who will be following us." He said. "Your deranged." Ip man said. "Shut up!" Barton yelled "I am a leader! Not a coward!" He finished as he stomped on the floor. Barton then charged up at him and attempted to back kick him in the chest, when Ip man noticed the attack, he blocked it with his elbow and the two fighters were sent sliding a few feet back, but they managed to prevent their fall by pushing their foots upwards. Barton charged forward again and attempted to hit the Chinese martial artist with a flying kick to his chest. When Ip man noticed the attack, he grabbed his front leg and slammed him on the ground which made Barton grunt in pain again. "Uggh!" Barton then kicked himself back up and he glared at Ip man again. "Master Ip man you can do this!" Staff Sergeant Hartman cheered. "That's it! No more playing around!" Barton yelled enraged. "That is what you get for being resentful and racist!" Hartman insulted. "Shut up staff sergeant Hartman!" Barton looked at him, he then looked back at Ip man with the same enraged expression "It's time to settle this once and for all!" He shouted as he got into another battle stance. And Ip man got into the same stance he was before. But before the two masters could move forward, a mysterious purple portal randomly appeared on their right which shocked Ip man, Barton, staff sergeant Hartman and the rest of the soldiers. "What the hell is that?" Barton asked while looking at the portal. "I have no idea." Staff sergeant Hartman said with a disorientate expression. Barton then slowly walked forward and carefully inspected the portal. "Is this some sort of cartoon?" Barton asked himself quietly. But suddenly, the portal got a bit longer which shocked him. Ip man knew what was going to happen next in his mind, he then wasted no time and ran towards Barton. "Get away from it!" "Huh?" Then the portal began to suck everything in the training headquarters. "Grab on to something!" Staff sergeant Hartman told the marines. The marines did what Hartman said and ran back and grabbed onto something strong, some grabbed onto metal poles, some grabbed onto the doors and some grabbed onto the long stools. Staff sergeant Hartman tried to turn his head back and see if grandmaster Ip man and Barton was okay, but the portal prevented him from doing that and made him focus on clinging onto the metal pole. Instead he tried to call him. "Ip man!" He yelled "Grandmaster Ip man! Barton! Are you two okay?!" He finished, but he got no response. After thirty seconds, everything returned back to normal and all of the soldiers including some of the training quareters training equipments rained down on the floor, and some soldiers grunted in pain. Hartman slowly stood up and began to check on all of the soldiers. "Is everyone okay?" Hartman asked looking at all of the soldiers. "I'm okay sir!" One of the soldiers replied. "I'll live." Another said in a pained voice. Hartman then looked at the sparring ground and saw that both Ip man and Barton have disappeared. "Grandmaster Ip man! Barton!" Hartman yelled while looking around but they were nowhere near here. He then tirned around and looked at the rest of the soldiers. "Guys! Scoop around the place and help me find grandmaster Ip man and Barton!" Then all of the soldiers stood up. "Sir! Yes sir!" Then all of them began to do a sweep in the area to find grandmaster Ip man and Barton. Author's Note The first chapter of my new story has been completed! I hope you all enjoyed it! And each chapters have to be released in quite a bit of time because I still need to think about ideas for it. //-------------------------------------------------------// In a forest //-------------------------------------------------------// In a forest "Uggh... what happened?" Ip man moaned as he slowly opened his eyes, but he felt a sharp pain in his head which made him grunt and place his right hand on his forehead. "I didn't even take any cigarettes yesterday." Ip man moaned as he opened his eyes. He then saw that he was in a place filled with trees, rocks and grass which made him disorientate. Ip man then slowly placed his hands behind him and pushed himself back up on his feet, after that, he began to observe his surroundings and saw that he was in a forest considering the trees and rocks around the place, and the grass that he was standing on. "Is this a forest?" Ip man asked himself in perplextion. But then, he remembered that he wasn't the only one who got sucked into the portal. "Wait a minute, I wasn't the only one who got sucked into the portal, who else was with me?" Ip man said as he began to think, then he came to a realization "Barton Geddes! He was with me, I must find him." Ip man said as he walked through the forest, but he doesn't knows where to start. "Maybe there is civilization here?" Ip man thought "I hope my assumption will be right, cause I don't want to wander in this forest alone without any assistant." He finished as he walked in the forest. On the other side of the forest, a dark green coloured changeling named Pharynx was in the everfree forest picking up some herbs for the hive to make some tea for the King, Queen, Prince and the changelings. He picked each one at a time and placed them in a plastic bag, after he placed one more, he noticed that the bag was full and he nodded to himself satisfied. "All of these herbs will be decent for the hive's changelings, my brother Thorax, the Queen Twilight and my little Prince nephew." Pharynx said with a smile, he then placed the plastic bag in his satchel and stood up. "Alright, back to the hive." Pharynx said as he began to walk back to the hive, but a rattling sound from behind stopped him. "What was that?" Pharynx said as he turned around. He then walked towards the source of the sound and saw a bipedal creature in the distance. "What is that?" Pharynx asked as he walked closer to the creature to get a better look at it. Once he got closer, he hid behind a bush and began to analyse the creature. It was wearing a dark coat, it stood on two legs like Spike, it had some claws, and had fur on its head. "What is that thing?" Pharynx said in confusion "I've never seen a creature like him before in Equestria." Pharynx wasn't able to finish studying the creature when it turned it's head to his direction which made him hide in the bush. After ten more seconds, Pharynx slowly poked his head upwards and saw that the creature was walking further into the forest. "I must follow it, maybe my brother Thorax knows what he is since he read books about the universe." Pharynx said as he got out of his hiding place and snaekily followed the creature. Ip man was observing the forest while walking to see if there was any civilization here, but he didn't even find a town or a single person, and that made him jumbled. "This is definitely weird, why is there no civilization here? There were lots of immigrants in America." Ip man thought in his head in confusion. But then, he heard a rattling and growling sound behind him. He slowly turned around and saw two glowing green eyes coming towards him, when Ip man saw the glowing green eyes, he tried to communicate whoever was there. "Um... hello? Is someone there?" When the green glow came closer, he got a clear look at who was there and he found something quite unique. He saw a wooden wolf, and it was very hungry. "Is that a wooden wolf?" Ip man wasn't able to study the wolf when it ran up towards him and lunged itself at him trying to eat his face off. When Ip man noticed the attack, he ducked his body and the wolf crashed face first into a tree. Ip man then turned around and saw the wolf fully recovering and growling angrily at him. "與它交流毫無意義 (There's no point in communicating with it.)" Ip man said as he placed his stretched his right arm and placed his left hand on his chest level. The wooden wolf then lunged at Ip man again, and tried to bite his face off again. But it turned out to be a futile idea when the creature punched it in the snout which made it fall on it's back. When Ip man saw an opening area on it, he walked towards the wooden wolf and delivered some excruciating and fast punches to its chest which made it whimper in pain. He then finished it by kicking it which sent him flying towards a tree. The wolf slowly stood up again and glanced at the creature, and the wolf saw it giving him a look of concern to him while in that strange stance. The wooden wolf then turned around and ran back into the forest while whimpering in fear. Ip man then lowered his arms and stood back up straight again. "Well that was easy, now time to resume on finding civilization." Ip man said as he continued walking deeper into the forest. Pharynx has saw the whole event while hiding behind a tree, and that action has made him shocked. "Oh my, I must investigate this creature furthermore." Pharynx thought as he got out of his hiding spot again and continued to follow it. When Ip man was casually walking in the forest while seeing if there was any civilization, he heard some rattling noises behind him, he must assume that someone was following him. "好像有人在跟着我 (Looks like someone is following me.)" Ip man thought as he continued to walk casually and waited for the attacker to get closer to him. Once the rattling noises got louder and closer, Ip man felt like someone was going to touch his back. He then turned around and palm striked his attacker in the face. "Ooofff!" Ip man assumed that the attacker was a male, he then looked at his attacker and saw that it was a dark green bug looking creature standing there while holding its nose. "What is that?" Ip man asked himself quietly. Then creature then removed it's hooves away from it's nose and starred at the creature with a vexed expression. "Why you! Your going to pay for that!" The creature yelled as it charged at Ip man with his right hoof swung back, and Ip man immediately got into a stance. Once Pharynx closed his distance between himself and the creature, he then attempted to punch it, but he was met with a palm strike to his muzzle. "Oof!" Ip man then walked up to the creature again, when Pharynx saw the creature walking towards him, he attempted to punch it but the creature managed to block his attack. The creature then sent two punches to it's face which made him grunt in pain. Ip man then finished the bug by front kicking it in the chest, and the force of his kick made the bug crash into a tree knocking it out in the process and giving him a bleeding nose. "他一定是个非常脆弱的生物. 那不是我最强劲的单曲. (Huh, he must be a very fragile creature. That wasn't even my strongest hit.)" He thought surprised. "I should get out of here." Ip man said as he turned around and walked deeper into the forest. "I hope I can find civilization soon, and I also hope that I can find Barton soon." He finished with hope. Author's Note The second chapter finished! I hope you all enjoyed it! And I hope you all don't mind me using Chinese words. //-------------------------------------------------------// Grandmaster vs guards //-------------------------------------------------------// Grandmaster vs guards "Uggh! My head, what happened?" Barton grunted as he slowly opened his eyes, once his visions were clear, he saw that he was locked up in some sort of prison with a wooden door in front of him. "Is this a prison?" Barton asked observing his surroundings, and he saw that he was indeed in a prison. Before he could stand up, he heard a male voice. "It's awake." Then the wooden door in front of him opened and Barton saw what looks to be like a green coloured horse wearing a mask and dark armour, it then communicated with him. "Come with us and meet our king." It said. Barton was traumatized when he heard the horse speaking English. When the pony saw that the creature wasn't obeying, he then extended his right hoof towards it and tried to grab it by its arm and force it to come with him. When Barton noticed the grapple attempt, he pushed the horses hoof away and kicked it in the face, and the force of it's kick made the horse fly into the distance and crashing into a wall. After that, he pushed himself back up and attempted to escape but then his whole body was paralyzed by a dark magic. "What the hell?" Barton said looking down. "Well well, looks like you are awake Mr human." Said a deep voice. When Barton heard the voice, he looked in front of him and saw a dark figure with green glowing eyes walking towards him, once the figure got close, Barton saw a very unique creature, it's body was made of metal, it had sharp teeth, a red cape and what looks to be like a unicorn horn. "I'm sorry but who the hell are you?" Barton asked. "Oh sorry, where are my manners?" The creature chuckled evily, he then released his hold on him and Barton fell on the rocky ground "Kneel before me Mr human, my name is King Sombra and I am your boss." 12:30am in the changeling hive, a four years old hybrid pony and changeling alicorn or changelicorn Prince named Alistair was playing hide and seek with his father Thorax and mother Twilight Sparkle, and Alistair was hiding in his room inside his large toy box, and his parents were looking for him. "Oh Alistair, come out come out wherever you are." Thorax said looking around the room with his wife Twilight. "Oh Alistair, once your mommy and daddy finds you, we will give you a large tickle." Twilight chuckled with a grin. Inside the toy box, Alistair was sitting on his large teddy bear with his tiny hooves covering his mouth trying not to laugh so hard while his parents were looking for him. But suddenly, he accidentally made a tiny noise while in his toy box and that made him gasp. After a while, his toy box was pulled opened and Alistair saw his parents. "Found you Alistair!" Thorax laughed as he lifted his son up from his toy box with his magic, he then laid him on his carpet and began to tickle him along with his mother. "Hahahahahaha!" Alsitair laughed. "No point in running away now My adorable son!" Twilight laughed as well while tickling him on top of her husband's back. But unexpectedly, Alistair teleported away and landed on top of his mother's back which made her fall on top of his father. "Ooof!" The two of them grunted. "Hahahahaha! I win again mommy and daddy!" Alistair laughed and his parents laughed as well. Thorax then slightly moved Twilight's head to the right so that she could look at him. And when Twilight saw her husband, she blushed softly along with him, they then inched their heads closer to each other. When Alistair saw that his parents were about to kiss each other again, he immediately shielded his eyes with his hooves. Thorax and Twilight then pushed their lips together and kissed which made some smootching and moaning noises loud enough for their son to hear which made him blush. After fifteen seconds, they released and looked at each other with huge blushes. "You are beautiful as always my Queen." Thorax said softly. Twilight giggled and licked her husband on the cheek. "And you are always very handsome my King." Twilight said in a cute voice. She then inched herself close to his face again and tried to kiss him again but Thorax ceased her by placing his hoof on her lips and that made Twilight perplexed. "What's wrong honey?" Twilight asked in a cute voice. "Twily, our son is watching." Thorax chuckled. Twilight then looked at her back and saw her son shielding his eyes. She then blushed embarrassingly and got off her husband. After that, she lifted her son up from her back and nuzzled him. "Sorry about the uncomfortable situation there sweetie." Twilight said as she kissed her son on his forehead. Alistair then removed his hooves away from his eyes and looked at his mother with a smile. "It's okay mommy." Alistair chuckled. Then a male changeling guard opened Alistair's bedroom door and saluted when he saw the king. "King Thorax." Thorax then stood up and walked up to the guard. "What's the problem sir?" Thorax asked. "King Thorax, your big brother Pharynx was found injured in the forest." Thorax's eyes widened when he heard that. "Uncle Pharynx is injured?" Alistair asked with a shocked expression. "How is he?" Thorax asked. "He has some minor injuries, I'll show you in the hospital come on." The guard said as he lead Thorax to the changeling hive hospital with his wife Twilight and son Alistair following him. Changeling hive hospital In the changeling hive hospital, Pharynx was lying on his hospital bed with a long white bandage wrapped around his chest and a small bandage stuck on his muzzle. Then his hospital room door opened and Pharynx saw his brother Thorax, Twilight and nephew Alistair, and they all gasped in horror when they saw his condition. "Uncle Pharynx! Are you okay?" Alistair asked looking at his uncle on his bed. "I'm okay kiddo." Pharynx replied with a chuckle "Just a few bruises on my chest and a stinging muzzle." He finished with a grunt. "Pharynx, who did this to you?" Thorax asked. "It was a creature I have never seen before in the everfree forest." Pharynx said, he then began describing it "It stood on two legs like Spike, it wore a black coloured coat, it had fur on it's head and looks really skilled." "A two legged creature? What could it be?" Twilight asked perplexed. "Could it be a new type of animal?" Alistair asked. "Whatever it is, it will pay for it's crime against my brother." Thorax growled, he then turned around and looked at the guard. "Sir, I want you to gather some of your men and find the creature in the everfree forest." Thorax said. "Yes, my King." The guard saluted. After that he exited the hospital room and gathered three of his comrade. They then exited the changeling hive and began to look for the creature in the everfree forest. In the everfree forest, Ip man was still wandering around trying to look for civilization, but he still couldn't find anyone. "这里甚至没有一个人吗? (Is there even a single person here?)" Ip man asked himself while looking around the forest. But before he could advance forward, he heard a male voice behind him. "You there halt!" When Ip man heard the voice, he slowly turned around and saw what looks to be like four bug looking creatures walking towards them, and they were armed with spears, then one of them talked to him. "You! Are you the creature who attacked Pharynx?" Ip man raised an eyebrow when he heard that name, he doesn't knows who this Pharynx was. He then tried to communicate with it. "Um... who is this Pharynx?" "No more chitchatting, Blue, arrest this creature." The bug ordered his comrade. "Roger that." Blue said with a nod. He then pulled out some cuffs and began to walk to the creature. But before he could place the cuffs on him, the creature side kicked him in the chest which made him crash into a tree knocking him out in the process. The three other changeling guards were shocked when they saw their fallen comrade, they then glared at the creature. "Get him!" Then the three changelings charged towards the creature and Ip man got into a stance. The first changeling attempted to poke his chest with his spear, when Ip man noticed the attack, he grabbed the tip of the spear and yanked it away from it's hooves and smacked it in the face with it's back which made the guard fall roughly on the ground with a bleeding muzzle. The second changeling began to engage in combat with the creature. He swung his right hoof back and attempted to punch the creature in the chest. When Ip man noticed the attack, he used the spear as a staff weapon and smacked the changeling in the face. The force of his hit bruised the changeling's face and sent it crashing towards another tree knocking it out in the process. The final changeling was very infuriated when he saw the creature taking down his comrades. He then charged towards it with his right hoof swung back, when Ip man noticed the attack, he dropped the spear on the ground and blocked the bugs attack with his wrist, he then grabbed it by the face and pushed him to th ground. After that, he delivered some excruciating punches to it's face. And the force of his punches made the bug grunt in pain and it also gave him a bleeding muzzle. After ten more punches, he ceased his attack and released the bug and saw that he gave him a bleeding face. "All of you lose." Ip man said. After that, he turned around and walked deeper into the forest hoping to find some civilization. Author's Note I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! It was very intense! And also, I do not own the character Alistair. He belongs to Percy-McMurphy on deviantart.

"Oh my, what happened to the four of you?" Twilight asked with a shocked expression. "How did you four become like this? Are you four alright?" Thorax asked with a shocked expression on his muzzle. "That's a lot of contusions." Alistair said while covering his mouth in shock. "It was the creature your majesties, we've encountered the same creature that Pharynx described and we tried to capture it peacefully, but it attacked us for no reason!" The changeling guard exclaimed. "Oh my, this creature must be very lethal." Alistair said. "Indeed it is Prince Alistair." Blue replied. "You four should get some rest at home and try visiting the doctor to treat your wounds, we'll try to search for the unknown creature again tomorrow, you four are dismissed." Said Thorax. The four guards saluted and walked to the hospital to get treated by the doctors. Alistair then looked at the clock on his left and saw that it was almost 1:00pm, and almost the time to conduct some science experiments in the everfree forest. He then got off his throne and looked at his parents. "Dad, mom. I'm gonna go and conduct some science experiments now in the everfree forest." Alistair told them. "Alright, but don't go too far." Thorax told his son. "I won't dad, you have my words." Alistair said with a nod and smile. "That's my son." Thorax said as he gently stroked his son's head. After that, Alistair removed his crown from his head and gently placed it on his throne. After that, he exited the throne room and the kingdom and walked to the everfree forest, but Twilight was worried. When Thorax noticed his wife's anxious expression, he leaned his face closer to her's and gave her a warm nuzzle. "What's wrong baby?" Throax asked. "I don't know about this honey." Twilight said as she looked at her husband "What if our son encounters the creature?" She asked. Thorax then comforted his wife with a kiss to the lips and Twilight kissed back. After ten seconds, they released. "Don't worry Twily, our son is a strong and smart little colt remember? And one day he'll take our place in the changeling kingdom and Equestria once he is the king." "I guess your right." Twilight giggled, but then her smile faded away and she was anxious again "No, I can't let him be out there alone, he may be an expert in chemistry, but he doesn't knows how to defend himself against timber wolves, I'm going to be there for him in case he needs an aid." Twilight said as she got off her throne and walked to the exit. "Honey wait." Thorax said as he stood up from his throne and made her stop in her track and look at him "Do you want me to take over instead?" He asked insistingly. "Nah, it's alright." Twilight said with a shake of her head "You can stay here and accompany the changelings while I look for our son." She finished with a smile. After that, she exited the throne room and the hive, she then walked to the everfree forest to find her son. In the everfree forest, Alistair was studying some of the herbs he found with his parents last week. He lifted two of them up with his magic and began to inspect it. After studying the herbs for twenty seconds, he then noticed an interesting fact. "Whoa, so if I combine the two herbs together it can make a stronger vaccine." Alistair said surprised. Then, he placed the two herbs into a plastic bag. After that, he slowly stood up and turned around. "Alright, back to my parents." Alistair said. But before he could take a step forward, he heard some hoofsteps behind him. He then activated his horn and turned around. "Who's there?" Alistair asked observing his surroundings, but he didn't see anypony behind him. But then, he heard some hoofsteps again. "If you don't reveal yourself I will blast you with my magic that my mommy taught me." Alistair said in a serious voice. Then, he heard a voice. "Whoa, whoa, easy there kid." Alistair then saw a dark figure in the distance approaching him slowly which made him glow his horn even more. Once the figure got closer, Alistair could get a better look a it. It was a creature that he has never seen or heard of before. It stood on two legs, it's height was almost the same as his father's and aunt Celestia's, it wore a green suit and green pants and it had dark hair. The creature then said something. "Hey kid, is your name Alistair?" Alistair's eyes widened in shock when he heard the creature saying his name. He has never ever met a being like him before. "Um... yes." Alistair gulped nervously. "Alright, now come with me." "Um... no. My mommy told me not to talk to strangers. So I have to leave." When the creature heard that, he stretched his arms and got into a stance. "Guess I'll have to use lethal violence." Alistair's eyes widened in fear when he heard that. "Come here!" The creature yelled charging towards the young colt. "Ahhhhhhh!" The tumoultous scream could be heard from a mile, and Ip man and Twilight both heard the loud scream. "有人在吗? (Is someone there?)" Ip man said as he turned around and ran towards the source of the scream. "Oh no Alistair." Twilight said in horror, she then picked up the pace "Don't worry baby, I'm coming!" Alistair was running away from the creature as fast as he could, but no matter how fast he ran, the creature stayed behind him, Alistair thought that the creature was very hasty. Once Barton got close to Alistair, he drew his right leg back and kicked him in the right side of his body. The force of his kick made Alistair crash into a rock which gave him a bruise. Barton smiled in satisfaction after that attack. He then slowly walked up to the small unicorn and saw it in pain. "Now you will come with me." Barton said as he attempted to snatch the young changeling, and Alistair closed his eyes in fear. But unexpectedly, he didn't felt anything, all he heard was a grapple noise. Alistair then slowly opened his eyes and saw another two legged creature almost as the same height as his attacker, it wore a black coat, it had dark hair and arms. "Get out of here!" The black coated creature yelled. Alistair was perplexed at first, but then he heard his mother. "Honey!" Alistair turned around and saw his mother running towards him. "Mommy!" Once Twilight got close to her son, she lifted him up and began to carry him back to the changeling hive while running. "Mommy wait! We have to help that other creature!" Ip man was grasping Barton's right arm and fighting his muscle with all of his might. "What the hell are you doing here?" Barton asked. "I'm here to stop you, you racist and resentful monster." When Barton heard the insult, he then swung his left arm back and punched Ip man in the face. Ip man got pushed to the ground when Barton's punch collided with his face. He tried to get up but Barton placed his right foot on his chest and Ip man tried to push him off. "Karate beats Chinese kung fu." Barton said as he raised his left hand and attempted to punch him again. But then, a magic blast was fired at his chest and he was sent flying into the distance. Ip man then tilted his head to the right and saw a purple horse and a small purple one on the large horses back. "Thank you for saving me you two." Ip man said as he stood up and Twilight was a bit shocked by it's height, he was almost as tall as her teacher Celestia. She then shook the fear out of her head and began to communicate with the creature. "Well, you did save my son. And it would be rude to not return the favour." Twilight giggled. Ip man chuckled from that reply. "I guess so, my name is Ip man." He introduced himself. Both Twilight and Alistair were baffled by that name. "Ip man? That's a weird and unusual name." Said Twilight, then she introduced herself "Anyways, nice to meet you mister Ip man, my name is Twilight Sparkle, and this is my son Alistair." "Hello mister Ip man, and thank you for rescuing me." Alistair said with a smile. "Nice to meet you two." Ip man said with a smile "And hey, can I ask you guys a question?" "Sure, go ahead." "Where am I?" "Why your in Equestria, haven't you heard of this place before?" Twilight asked. "Um, no. I'm from Earth in Hong Kong." "Hong Kong? Earth? So your from another planet?" Alistair asked. "Yes." Ip man nodded "Well anyways, I'll be going now, I don't want to disturb you two any more further." He finished as he turned around, but Twilight stopped him. "Actually mister Ip man, we'd like you to come with us." Ip man turned around and looked at Twilight with a surprised look. "Really? How so?" He asked. "Well you are a creature from another world, and you might our assistance in the changeling hive from now on, and I need to bring you to my husband." Twilight told him with a smile "And also, any unknown creatures in Equestria must speak to the king." She told him. "King?" "Oh, I'm sorry Ip man, I forgot to tell you that me and my husband are King and Queen of the land along with our son." She said. When Ip man heard that, he immediately stood up straight. "Sorry If I sounded a bit rude your highness." "Oh it's okay, I actually don't like to be called the title highness." She giggled. "That's a relief." Ip man chuckled "Now, mind if you lead the way?" He asked. "Sure." Twilight replied with a nod "Follow us please. And once we're in the hive, we can do some questioning along with my friends." Twilight finished as she turned around and walked back to the changeling hive with Ip man behind her and her son. Author's Note Another chapter finished! I hope you all enjoyed it! //-------------------------------------------------------// Concerning humans //-------------------------------------------------------// Concerning humans Twilight and Alistair were almost back at the changeling hive with Ip man behind them. "Just a few more steps Mr Ip man." Twilight told him. "Okay." Ip man replied with a nod. After they walked through a bush, they have returned to the changeling kingdom. But to Ip man, it was a giant beehive looking country. "Here's our home." Alistair said looking at Ip man. "Wow, that's a big country." Ip man said with an opened jaw "This is even taller than my home in Hong Kong." He added. Twilight then walked up to the gates and pushed them opened letting her, her son and Ip man in. Once they were in, Twilight was casually guiding Ip man to her, her husband's and her son's throne room. While they were walking, Alistair noticed that many of his subjects were starring at Ip man with shocked and petrified expressions, some parents pulled their drones close to them. When Ip man noticed all of the glances he received, he disregarded all of them and continued to follow the two horses he met in forest closely. "Sorry about all of the glances you are receiving mister Ip man, me, my mother and my father's subjects always gets feart when they see and meet a new creature." Alistair told him quietly with an apologetic expression. "It's okay." Ip man said looking at the changelicorn prince with a smile "I can tolerate it. And I can also abide with their decisions whether they are scared of me or not." He finished. "Okay." Alistair shrugged "But still, I hope one day you will find your stay here very pleasant, because our services here can make you feel very approved." He finished with a warm smile. "We'll see." Ip man shrugged. "Oh and also, can I ask you a question mister Ip man?" Alistair asked. "Sure, go ahead little one." "Okay, here's my question. What was with that other creature that you saved me from? Why was he more inclined to violence while you are more inclined to peace?" Alistair asked raising an eyebrow. "Well, here's my answer. That other creature that tried to attack you was a very angry and aggressive soldier." Ip man told him which made Alistair hug his mother in fear "But me, I am a more calmer creature, I show no signs of hatred or aggressions to my enemies." "That's good to hear." Alistair said sighing in relief. "Be ready mister Ip man, you are going to meet my husband soon." Twilight told him while placing her hooves on the two large doors. Ip man took a deep breath and said "Okay, I'm ready. And I hope that your husband will not see me as a threat." "Of course he won't, he is very nice and kind." Twilight told him. After that, she pushed the throne room doors opened and stepped in with Ip man behind her and her son. Once they were in, Ip man took a quick glance around the room and saw that it was really big, he then looked on front of him and saw a light green bug looking creature sitting on a throne, Ip man must assume that the light green bug was the husband of Twilight Sparkle and the father of Alistair. When Thorax saw his wife and son, he spread his shelled wings and glided to the floor and to at their location, he then gave his wife a warm nuzzle. "Twily, Alistair. You two had me worried sick." "We're okay honey." Twilight said nuzzling her husband. "Yeah daddy." Alistair said as he got off of his mother's back and hugged his front left hoof "We encountered a new creature in the everfree forest, and it saved me." Alistair told his father as he pointed his right hoof at Ip man. Thorax then looked in front of him and saw a two legged creature in a black cloth. And he gave him an angry glare which made Ip man take a small step back. "I wasn't expecting a human to have saved my son!" Thorax said with so much hatred towards Ip man which made his son baffled. "What do you mean daddy?" "Alistair, this creature belongs to the most vile and dominant species I know about called humans!" Thorax said again in anger. Then Twilight stepped in front of her husband. "Now now Thory, you can't do this. This human has just saved our son's life in the everfree forest from another one of his kind, and that proves that he is not barbaric." Twilight said defending Ip man. Thorax then took a quick glance at the human again. When Ip man noticed the King starting at him, he began to introduce himself. "Hello there sir, my name is Ip man I am-" "Do not cause any trouble here human, because if you do. My guards will put you in the dungeon." Thorax warned him. After that, he walked away from the throne room. Twilight then gave Ip man an apologetic expression. "Sorry about that event mister Ip man, my husband is sometimes a little grumpy when he meets a cruel and evil creature." Said Twilight. "Its alright miss Twilight Sparkle. I can understand why he sees me as a threat, we humans are sometimes murderous monsters in the past." He chuckled. "I know, but some of you are innocent." Twilight assured him, and Ip man replied with a shrug. Twilight then looked at the clock and saw that it was 3:00pm, and it was time for Alistair's afternoon sleep. "Oh, it's 3:00pm now." Twilight said, she then looked at her son "Come on sweetie, it's time for your afternoon sleep." Twilight told her son in a soft voice, but Alistair frowned. "But mommy, I'm not tired." Alistair whined. "Come on sweetie pie." Twilight said as she lifted her son up with her hooves "You need enough rest for tomorrow because we have a huge meeting with our pony and changeling subjects." She told him with nuzzling. "Okay." "That's my son." Twilight said as she kissed her son on his forehead. She then turned around and looked at Ip man. "Make yourself at home mister Ip man, and feel free to explore our kingdom for as long as you want." Twilight told him in a polite tone. "Okay, I will." Ip man said with a nod. Twilight smiled and walked past him, and began to bring her son to his room for his afternoon sleep. "好的. (Alright.)" Ip man sighed "我想探索这个地方对我来说并没有什么害处，老实说，这个宝座比我回到香港的房子还大. (I guess it wouldn't hurt for me to explore this place, and to be honest, this throne room is bigger than my home back in Hong Kong.)" He finished while looking around the throne room with an amazed expression. After that, he exited the throne room and began to explore the changeling kingdom. Author's Note Another chapter finished! I hope you all enjoyed it! //-------------------------------------------------------// Exploration //-------------------------------------------------------// Exploration Changeling hive town In the changeling hive's town, Ip man was doing some exploration around the kingdom. But, when he explored half of it, he got thirsty. He then got a drink at the drinking fountain at the side of the town. After he has finished drinking, he turned around and saw many of the citizens starring at him with terrified and shocked expressions. When Ip man noticed all of the looks he was getting, he then tried to introduce himself to them. "Um... hello there everyone." Ip man said waving his right hand, then all of the changelings panicked. "Oh my! It can talk!" Said a male changeling running away. "What is that?" A female changeling asked taking some steps back. Then all of the changelings ran away from Ip man which made him disorientate. "我猜他们不能应付他们遇到的新生物. (I guess they can't handle a new creature they encounter.)" Ip man shrugged. After that, he walked away from the water fountain and proceeded in exploring the kingdom. After making a right turn, he encountered the dark green bug he saw and fought in the Everfree forest. It had a bandage on it's muzzle, a long white bandage wrapped around it's chest area and was using two walking sticks to walk. When Pharynx saw the creature he fought earlier in the Everfree forest, he began to sweat nervously, and Ip man tried to introduce himself. "Um... hello there sir." Ip man said approaching the dark green bug "My name is-" "Please don't hurt me!" The bug screamed as he ran away by using his walking sticks to jump. "我想我明白他为什么把我视为威胁 (I guess I understand why he sees me as a threat.)" Ip man said to himself quietly. At the other side of the changeling hive, Twilight Sparkle has placed her son Alistair in bed with his pajamas on. "But mom, can't I know more about that human?" Alistair pleaded his mother, but she shook her head slowly. "No sweetie, you can know more about him tomorrow morning." Twilight said softly. "Alright." Alistair sighed softly "Goodnight mommy." Alistair said as he drifted to sleep. "Goodnight my baby." Said Twilight as she kissed her son on his cheek. After that, Twilight stood up from her son's bed and exited his room closing the door behind her. Then she went to the changeling hive's library to write a letter to her friends. Once Twilight has arrived in the changeling hive's library, she grabbed a quill and a piece off paper. After that, she began writing the letter. After writing for one minute, she lifted the letter up with her magic and teleported it to Celestia's castle where her friends and Spike will be. Twilight was about to turn around and exit the library, but before she could do that, somepony wrapped his hooves around her neck from behind and gave her a gentle nuzzle. Twilight tilted her head to the left and saw that it was her husband Thorax. She then smiled and slowly turned around and wrapped her hooves around his neck as well. "Well this is a surprise." Twilight said softly. "Indeed it is my beautiful Queen." Thorax said softly as well. After that, he lifted Twilight up and laid her on the large table. Then he climbed onto the table and on top of her and kissed her on the lips, and Twilight kissed back while rubbing his back, and Thorax rubbed her body. In Celestia's throne room, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Spike and Fluttershy were having a chat with the Princesses. But, their conversation soon came to an end when a letter was teleported near Celestia which surprised everypony. "Whoa, must be another letter from Twilight." Spike assumed. Celestia then grabbed the scroll and unfolded it, she then read the letter from her student. Dear Princess Celestia Me and my son Alistair have encountered two new types of creatures in the Everfree forest called humans. One was a very violent one, and another was a more peaceful one. The violent one attempted to assault my son and kidnap him, but the peaceful one protected him. The violent human escaped in the everfree forest, but the peaceful human saved him. We now have the peaceful human in our hive, and I want all of us to have a meeting with him. From Twilight Sparkle When Celestia finished reading the letter, she looked at the five members of the elements of harmony and Spike in front of her. "Girls, we must go to the changeling hive, Twilight has found a human in the Everfree forest and is now in the changeling hive." Celestia said as she got off her throne with her sister. "A human? I hope this one will be cool." Said Rainbow Dash. "I just hope that this one is less violent." Fluttershy said quietly. "Cut the chatter! I want to see my little brother again!" Spike said as he rushed out of the throne room, then the rest of the girls followed him. In King Sombra's throne room, Sombra was starring at Barton angrily because of his failure. "How could you fail me Barton?!" "I'm sorry your majesty but that little bastard was too fast and my enemy has stopped me from capturing him." Barton said. When Sombra heard that, he began to formulate a plan. He couldn't just send his army there because Thorax could just blast them all with his magic skills along with his wife Twilight. After thinking for ten seconds, he thought of an improvised plan. "Barton, I have an obligation for you." "And what would that be?" "I want you to train my army your human martial arts skills for a while, and after that, you will bring my army to invade the changeling kingdom, understood?" Sombra asked. "Sure." Barton said. He then turned around and faced Sombra's army. "Alright you impotent bastards! I'm going to teach you all some martial arts, and you all better listen!" Barton yelled, and king Sombra watched the whole scene with an evil smile. "Just you wait King Thorax and Queen Twilight. After my human has captured your son, I will steal his magic and kill him. And I'll be the most powerful king in Equestria! Muwahahahahaha!" Author's Note Another chapter finished! I hope you all enjoyed it! //-------------------------------------------------------// New faces //-------------------------------------------------------// New faces Changeling kingdom front gates Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Spike have just arrived at the front gates of the changeling kingdom. "Come on guys, I want to see my little brother!" Said Spike with a huge smile. "We get it." Rainbow Dash sighed in annoyance "You said that like a hundred times." Spike ignored Rainbow Dashes remark and pushed the gates opened and entered with the girls behind him. Once they were in, they were greeted by two changeling guards who saluted. They then cleared their path and let them enter. "Okay, so Twilight said that she and Thorax will meet us in the meeting room right?" Pinkie asked. "Correct." Celestia said with a nod. "Then let's go!" Spike said rushing to the meeting room with the girls following him. Rainbow Dash was going to follow them from behind, but she then caught sight of something that made her stop. She looked at her left and saw a tall figure in a black coat strolling past in front of her, Rainbow Dash assumed that it was the human that Twilight talked about in the letter. "Let's see what this human can do." Rainbow said with a smirk. She then followed the human. Ip man was casually exploring the changeling hive for five minutes, and the place was very humoungus. "这个地方很大! (This place is huge!)" Ip man exclaimed in his mind "这个地方绝对比我在佛山的老房子大. (This place is definetly bigger than my old home in Foshan.)" He finished with wide eyes. Then, something else came into his mind. "叶準! (Ip Jing!)" Ip man remembered "我儿子一定很担心我没有回电话。我希望胖波照顾好他. (My son must be very worried that I haven't called back. I hope that Bob is taking good care of him.)" He hoped. Ip man was going to turn around but then, he heard some wing flapping noises behind him, followed up by a feeling of an attack. Ip man then swung his right hand back and grabbed the attacker by it's hand or hoof giving him a "Gah!" In return, Ip man assumed that his attacker is a female. He then swung his right arm upwards throwing his attacker on the ground making her grunt in return. Ip man then inspected his attacker and saw that it was a rainbow coloured horse with wings, almost similar to Twilight Sparkle and Alistair, but without a horn. Ip man then released his attacker and she slowly stood up. "Whoa, you are one tough human." Rainbow Dash said while rubbing her stinging back. Ip man was a little shocked when she knows what he is. "Um, how do you know what I am miss?" Ip man asked. "Twilight and Thorax told me and my friends about humans after they were married-" Rainbow then stopped at her sentence and shook her head "Ah nevermind, you won't understand. Anyways, I have to follow my friends to the meeting room. Nice to meet you mister..." "My name is Ip man." He introduced himself. "Mister Ip man, it was nice meeting you." Rainbow said as she quickly shook his hand. After that, she began to catch up to her friends to the meeting room leaving Ip man baffled. "会议室? (Meeting room?)" Ip man thought in his mind perplexed "他们正在开会讨论什么? (What are they having a meeting about?" He thought again. "我想我应该跟随他们，也许我可以收集一些信息，无论他们是在谈论我还是我的敌人. (I think I should follow them, maybe I can gather some informations whether they are talking about me or my enemy.)" Ip man said as he followed the Rainbow pegasus. The Princesses, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Applejack and Spike have just arrived at the changeling hive meeting room front doors. "Allow me." Spike said in a loyal voice. He then pushed the two doors opened and saw Thorax and Twilight inside the room sitting on two chairs. "Hello there Princesses. Hello there girls." Thorax said bowing his head along with his wife. Twilight then looked at her friends and saw that somepony was missing, and that somepony was Rainbow Dash. "Um girls? Where's Rainbow Dash?" Twilight asked. Her friends turned around and saw that Rainbow Dash was not with them. "That's weird." Applejack said raising an eyebrow "I thought she was behind us." She said. "Where has she gone of to this time?" Rarity sighed in annoyance. "Girls! I'm here!" They looked at their left and saw Rainbow Dash flying towards them while panting heavily. "Rainbow Dash, where were you?" Pinkie asked. Rainbow Dash decided not to share what she did. "I just grabbed a drink in the water fountain area." She said. "Okay." Spike said raising an eyebrow. "Anyways, come in everypony." Said Twilight. Then, the Princesses, the five mares and Spike all entered the meeting room. They then took seats around the large table, and Celestia was the first to ask Twilight a question. "Twilight, you said that you and your son encountered a human in the Everfree forest?" Celestia asked. "Yes." Twilight nodded. Before Twilight could describe more about the human she and Alistair encountered, her friends asked her some questions. "What is it like?" Rarity asked. "Is it strong?" Applejack asked. "Does it like parties?" Pinkie asked with a large smile. "Is it a martial artist?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Is it friendly?" Fluttershy asked. "Whoa, whoa, whoa. One at a time girls." Thorax told them. "I don't want to know anything about the human." Spike said, he then looked at Thorax and Twilight "Where is my little brother guys?" "He is sleeping Spike, he needs to save his energies for the meeting we will have with our subjects." Twilight told him. "Oh, okay." Spike said looking down on the table in sadness. "Anyways, are you gonna talk about the human?" Luna asked looking at the couple. "Oh right, about the human." Thorax said as he placed his hooves on the table, he then looked at his wife "Twily, would you mind?" "Oh, okay." Twilight said, she then began to describe the creature "The human was encountered in the Everfree forest during my son's science experiment. While he was conducting it, a vile human assaulted him." She told them. Then her friends and the Princesses all gasped in horror. "Oh my, is he okay?" Fluttershy asked worried about her niece. "How is he?" Spike asked perturbed. "The vile human was going to kidnap my son, but then, another human came in and rescued him, and this one was more peaceful and kind rather than that reckless and weak one." Twilight told them. They all sighed in relief when they heard that. "What is that human's name?" Pinkie asked. "His name is-" All of them were cut off when the meeting room door opened. Thorax and Twilight looked in front of them and saw Ip man standing at the door, but to the other ponies and Spike, it was another human. "Miss Twilight Sparkle, you shouldn't underestimate my enemy like that." Ip man told her "You will have a serious repercussion if he was here." He finished with an anxious expression towards her. Author's Note Another chapter finished! I hope you all enjoyed it! //-------------------------------------------------------// Meeting //-------------------------------------------------------// Meeting Pinkie was the first to react when she saw the human, she quickly got off her speed and ran up to the human in an incredible speed which made Ip man jump. "Hellotheremisterhumanmynameispinkiepieihaveneverseen-" Pinkie wasn't able to finish her sentence when Ip man punched her in the face, and the force of his punch sent Pinkie flying at the other side of the room and crashing into a bookshelf. Everypony in the room gasped in horror when they saw the human injuring Pinkie. "Oh! I'm so sorry miss-" "It's alright." Pinkie said as she got up from the broken bookshelf "I always do that, so it's normal." "Okay." Ip man sighed in relief, then he entered the meeting room. Thorax then stood up from his chair and glared at Ip man. "Who gave you authorization to enter our meeting room?" Thorax asked with so much hatred towards Ip man "And how could you say something so mean to my wife?" Twilight then placed her wings on her husband's head and rubbed him, and Thorax began to take some deep breaths. "Honey calm down." Twilight said softly "Besides, we can give the human a chance right?" She asked as she gave him some puppy eyes. When Thorax saw his wife's eyes, he bregrudingly had to force himself to sigh and talk nicely to the human, but before he did that, he gave his wife a gentle nuzzle. "Okay Twily, I'll give the human a chance." Thorax said with a warm smile. "Thank you." Twilight said as she kissed her husband on the cheek for five seconds, then she released and they both chuckled. Thorax then looked at Ip man. "Please take a seat mister Ip man." Ip man nodded and took a seat right next to the orange pony with a cowboy hat. Celestia then looked at the human and began to introduce herself to him. "Hello there human, my name is Celestia." She introduced herself "And I am the ruler of Equestria along with my sister." She said as she pointed at Luna and Luna waved at him. She then introduced the rest of the elements of harmony including Spike and Thorax. She started with Applejack first and Spike last. "Nice to meet all of you." Ip man said bowing. "Anyways." Thorax said getting to the point "We'd like to ask you some questions mister Ip man." "Sure, go ahead." "Okay, here's my first question. Where are you from?" "I am from Hong Kong in Earth." Everypony in the room got baffled by that name. "Hong Kong? Earth?" Rainbow Dash and Applejack asked in unison. "What is it like?" "Well, it's more of a big city with apartments and shops, unlike this place." "Okay, here's my question mister Ip man." Said Twilight "What do you do?" "Well, I teach my pupils." He replied. "So your a teacher?" Celestia asked. "I am a teacher miss Celestia." Ip man said with a nod "I teach Chinese Kung Fu, Chinese martial arts called the wing chun." He said, and everypony got baffled again. "So your like a gymnast?" Twilight asked raising an eyebrow. "Yes." Ip man replied with a nod "Something like that." Thorax found something oddly suspicious about Ip man's voice. It was like he doesn't speak Equestrian. "Mister Ip man, I just found out that your having a hard time speaking our language." He told him "Do you speak other types of human languages?" He asked. "Yes mister Thorax." Ip man replied with a nod "I speak Cantonese and Chinese, one is a language and the other is a dialect." Everypony was surprised when they heard that, and Twilight wrote down a script about the human martial artist. "I have a question mister Ip man." Rainbow Dash said. "Yes?" Ip man asked looking at her. "Are there other human martial artists like you?" She asked "Like the more mature and aggressive fighting types?" "There is actually." Ip man replied with a nod "There are around nine Chinese martial artists like me, but they teach other types of Chinese martial arts." "For example?" "Hung Kuen, Tai chi, Kung Fu, Eagle claw..." Ip man tried to remember some more but his memory was a bit foggy not because of his cancer sickness, but because of the rough landing in the forest from the portal that mysteriously appeared in the sparring area. "Sorry, I don't remember that much. After my arrival." "Oh, okay." "Okay, let's get to the point." Thorax said "How did you get here mister Ip man?" He asked. "It's a little complicated but I can describe what happened." He said "I was having a sparring match with an American soldier in the military base, when we were half way through the match, a mysterious portal appeared in the sparring area and it sucked me and him in, and that's how I got here." He finished. Everypony were very perplexed when they heard that he got here from a portal, they didn't do any magic spells. Thorax was going to ask Ip man some more questions, but a small voice stopped him. Everypony in the room turned around and looked forward and saw Alistair standing at the entrance of the meeting room holding his teddy bear and rubbing his tired eyes. Spike was the first to react, he got of his seat and ran up to Alistair and giving him a brotherly hug. "Alistair!" Spike smiled "How's my little brother doing?" "I'm doing great big brother Spike." Alistair said hugging his older brother. "Alistair, your suppost to be in bed." Twilight said as she got off her seat and walked up to her son. "I know mommy but, all of you were being too loud with your meeting." Alistair said yawning. "Oh, umm... sorry about that baby." Twilight said as she lifted her son up "I'll get you back to bed right now." She said as she walked to Alistair's bedroom. Thorax was going ask the human some more questions. But he saw that it was getting late. "Alright everypony, we'll end the meeting here, feel free to stay in the guest room's." Thorax said in a generous tone. The ponies nodded and got off their seats, after that, they began to walk to the guest room's. "You should follow them mister Ip man, maybe you can find a guest room as well." Thorax said as he walked past him. "Okay." Ip man said as he got off his seat "Thank you ve-" Ip man wasn't able to finish his sentence when Thorax glared at him again. "And you better not break anything with your kung fu." He growled, after that, he returned to his and his wife's bedroom. "Sure." Ip man said quietly. After that, he began to follow the ponies to the guest room's. Author's Note Another chapter finished! I hope you all enjoyed it! //-------------------------------------------------------// Preparation part 1 //-------------------------------------------------------// Preparation part 1 In Alistair's personal changing room, Twilight and Rarity were changing Alistair in his Royal suit, they suited him in a light blue suit and placed a black tie on his chest level. Rarity checked his style for a while and then she smiled in satisfaction. "What do you think about your style darling?" Rarity asked her nephew. Alistair looked at the mirror in front of him, he took a quick glance at his reflection and smiled delightfully. "I looked handsome." Alistair said with a smile. "That's good to hear." Twilight said patting her son on the head softly. "Now all that's left is my crown." Alistair said as he attempted to grab his small crown on the table next to him, but his mother grabbed it away from him. "Ah ah ah Alistair, you can't just wear that typical and tiny crown to the meeting every year, it'll be boring and stupid." Twilight told him. Alistair took a couple of seconds to think about his mother's perplexing words. He then came to an understanding. "Oh right! Now that I think about it, it does seems tedious if I keep wearing my old crown." Said Alistair, he then looked at his mother "What else do you have in mind mommy?" He asked her. "Either your uncle Shining Armor or your aunt Celestia will give you an improvisational surprise." Alistair's eyes widened when he heard the word surprise. "Surprise? What will it be?" "It wouldn't be a surprise if I spoil it right?" Twilight asked. "Yeah I guess." Alistair said with a nod. "That's my son, now come on, we gotta go. The carriage must be here right now." Twilight said as she lifted her son up and placed him on her back, she then exited his changing room along with her friend Rarity. While they were walking, Alistair has just remembered something, he forgot to fetch his friend Vector. "Mommy, I forgot to get my friend Vector with me." Alistair told him. Twilight looked back at her son and said "Don't worry baby, I'll take care of this." She then looked at Rarity. "Rarity, would you mind grabbing Alistair's tegu pet Vector please?" When Rarity heard that, she hesitated a little, but then she reluctantly agreed. "Sure." She gulped nervously. "Thank you aunt Rarity." Alistair said with a smile. "Your welcome darling, I'll grab your pet right now." Rarity said as she rushed to grab Alistair's pet tegu. Once she has found it, she slowly approached it and extended her right hoof at it. "Nice lizard, nice lizard." Rarity said constantly and anxiously while slowly approaching the lizard and trembling. Once she got close, she felt a small lick from it which made her gasp but she managed to hold it in, she then quickly picked it up and ran back to Twilight and Alistair with a muffled scream. When Rarity have returned to Twilight and Alistair, she showed her niece his pet lizard with a green face. "Here's your pet as requested my nephew." "Thank you so much aunt Rarity!" Alistair said with a smile, and Rarity managed to smile back. Rarity then placed his lizard pet on the floor and it began to crawl along with Twilight and Alistair. "Come on Vector my friend, it's time to prepare for our meeting." Alistair said with confident. "That's my son." Twilight giggled "Enthusiastic as always, and I like it." She finished with a smile and Alistair smiled back. While they were walking, Twilight saw Thorax. "Hey Twilight." Thorax called her "I want to-" "We will talk about this once we get back." Twilight told her husband in a serious tone as she walked past him with her son and Rarity, and Thorax sighed in sadness. Once they got to the exit of the hive, Twilight and Rarity both pushed the gates opened and were greeted by two stallion Royal guards with a five seated carriage behind them. The two guards bowed down in front of the two Royals and Rarity. "Hello your majesties." "Hello there sir." Alistair waved "Where are my aunts and big brother?" He asked. "Your aunts and big brother are now in Canterlot along with the human preparing for the meeting Prince Alistair." He replied. "Well I guess we shouldn't keep them waiting." Rarity suggested. "Indeed." Twilight said with a nod "Let's get on." Twilight said as she pushed her son up on the carriage and seated him in a comfortable position. She then climbed on along with Rarity. Thorax was the last to come out, he looked at the carriage in front of him along with his family, Alistair's pet lizard Vector, and Rarity. He walked towards it but he remembered how angry his wife was when he scolded his son, he then stopped in his tracks. One of the Royal guards got disorientate when he saw the King stopping in his tracks. He then walked up to him and asked "King Thorax, what's wrong? Aren't you going to get on the carriage?" Thorax thought for a second then sighed. "You know what sir, I think I'll walk there." Thorax told him. "Okay." The guard shrugged "But be sure to be there on time." He told him and Thorax replied with a nod. The guards then walked to the front of the carriage and began to pull it, and they rushed to Canterlot. And Thorax followed them by walking. Author's Note Sorry that this chapter was a bit short or rushed, I was a bit busy today, but rest assured I will make longer chapters next time! And I hope you all enjoyed this one! //-------------------------------------------------------// Preparation part 2 //-------------------------------------------------------// Preparation part 2 The carriage came to a stop at Canterlot, and the two guards opened the door for Twilight, Rarity and the young Prince. "Follow us please." Said a guard. The three of them nodded and followed the guard, while they were walking, many ponies and changelings bowed down to the young changeling and pony hybrid alicorn Prince which made him cover his face with his right wing. When Twilight saw her son's discomfort expression, she soothed him down by nuzzling him. "Don't be embarrassed baby, everypony here sees you as a loyal Prince." Twilight whispered. "I guess but, this is a little humiliating." Alistair whispered to his mother with a blush. "I know sweetie I know, but you have to try and tolerate it." Twilight told him "Can you do that for me?" Alistair then took a deep breath "Okay mommy, I can tolerate and stuff my anxiety down." Alistair said with so much confident in his voice. "That's my son, as brave and tough as your mother." Twilight said nuzzling her son and Alistair chuckled. Once they got to the front gates of the castle in Canterlot, the two Royal guards pushed it opened and let the three of them through. "Hey Alistair!" When Alistair heard the familiar voice, he looked up in front of him and saw his uncle Shining Armor. "Uncle Shining Armor!" Alistair yelled as he ran up to his uncle. Once he got to him he hugged his uncle tightly and Shining hugged back. "How's my cute little nephew going?" Shining asked. "I'm doing great uncle!" Alistair replied happily "But I'll be even more enthusiastic when the meeting starts!" He finished with a smile. "That's good to hear." Shining said with a smile. He then lowered him down and his little sister Twilight walked up to him. "Twily!" Shing Armor exclaimed happily "It is so great to see you!" "I have no time for talking Shining." Twilight told her brother, she then picked up her son and placed him on her back "I have to get my son ready for the meeting." She finished as she rushed inside the castle. "Okay." Shining said quietly. "It's normal Shining." Rainbow Dash said as she walked up to him "Many mothers are only focused on their childrens, they spend less time with their families." She finished with a giggle. "Yeah I guess." Shining said with a shrug. Once Twilight and Alistair were at the front door of the changing room that Twilight was going to change in, she placed her son on the floor and said "Okay Alistair, mommy is going to get changed inside the dressing room, so you wait right here okay?" "Okay." Alistair replied with a nod. "That's my son." Twilight said kissing her son on the forehead. After that, she entered her dressing room leaving Alistair waiting outside of it. Alistair was pacing back and forth near the dressing room that his mommy was in, then he heard a stallion voice. "Make way for my daughter guard!" Alistair looked forward and saw Prince Bluehood, his wife Songbird and their beautiful daughter Princess Narcissa Serenata. Alistair then starred dreamily at the beautiful Princess with wide eyes and sweat. Princess Narcissa also noticed the handsome changeling and pony hybrid Prince Alistair in front of her which made her blush. The two Royals have both eyed each other for three months now but were too nervous to talk to each other or ask each other out, not only because they were nervous but their parents were too overprotective with them. The two Royals attempted to approached each other but then failed when Narcissa's father Prince Bluehood walked up to her. "Come on my little Princess, it's time to go." Bluehood said picking his daughter up and leaving, and Narcissa was barely able to wave her hoof goodbye. Alistair then sighed in depression when he saw that Narcissa left, then he heard the sound of a door opening behind him, he turned around and saw his mother exiting with her crown on her head and wearing a pink dress. "Are you ready sweetie?" Twilight asked her son. "Ready." Alistair said in a soft and sad tone. When Twilight noticed her son's depression, she knelt down and looked at him. "What's wrong?" Alistair then sighed and looked up at his mother with a disconsolated expression. "I just saw Princess Narcissa strolling through the hall there." He told her "I tried to talk to her but her father pulled her away making me fail my attempt." He finished with a sigh. Twilight then starred at her son with a serious expression which made him gulp. "Now Alistair, this is not acceptable" Twilight said "And I won't let any mares or fillies in Equestria to become your special somepony or your wife, because they are impulsive and weak and you are my brave, smart and tough son, you got it?" She asked. Alistair then sighed again and had to accept that inadequate rule from his mother. "Yes mommy." "That's my son!" Twilight said with a smile "Now come on, let's instigate the meeting now, and the surprise I talked about will be revealed near the balcony, and you are going to love it!" She finished with an exhilarated expression. She then placed her son on her back and walked to the balcony. "Okay." Alistair sighed in sadness as he leaned his head on her mothers neck. Thorax was the last to arrive at Canterlot castle, he pushed opened the gates and entered and he encountered Shining Armor and the mane six. "Thorax? Why are you late? It's your son's meeting with his changeling and pony subjects." Shining Armor asked raising an eyebrow. "I decided to walk." Thorax replied catching his breath. "Why?" The mane six asked. Thorax sighed and said "I had a punishment from Twilight for scolding my son wrongly." "Oh my." The mane six said covering their mouths in shock. "It's normal Thorax." Shining said patting his shoulder "Sometimes you'll have a consequence from you wives when you scold your children." He finished. "I guess." Thorax replied with a sigh "Anyways, I have to prepare as well." Thorax stood him. "Okay." Shining said stepping aside to let him through. "Thank you Shining." Thorax said and he replied with a nod. After that, Thorax entered the castle to find his wife and son. Author's Note Another chapter finished! I hope you all enjoyed it!

Here's the link to it https://www.deviantart.com/percy-mcmurphy/art/SongBlood-Nextgen-Narcissa-Serenata-784795944 //-------------------------------------------------------// Captured //-------------------------------------------------------// Captured Near the Canterlot castle balcony, Prince Alistair was adjusting his tie and patting a small dust away from his sleeve. And his mother was adjusting her crown, she then looked down at her son. "Alright Alistair, time to reveal the surprise." Twilight told him, she then clapped her hooves together "Shining!" "Coming Twily!" Shining said as he ran up to his nephew Alistair with a box which made him perplexed, Shining Armor then bent down and looked at his nephew with the box in front of his face. "Alright Prince Alistair, here's your new crown." Shining Armor said as he unlocked the box. Alistair's eyes widened when he saw what was inside the box, it was a golden coloured crown with three tiny green diamonds attached on the top. "What do you think?" Shining asked. "It's amazing." Alistair said as he grabbed the crown and placed it on his head. "Now you look stylish my son." Twilight said with a smile. "Thank you mommy." "Your welcome." Twilight said with a smile "Now come on, let's instigate the meeting." "Okay." Alistair said with a nod. Twilight then walked to the balcony and starred down at her pony and changeling subjects who will soon be Alistair's. "Hello there everypony, and it is great to see all of you in my son's second meeting with you all." Twilight said with a smile, then all of the changelings and ponies began cheering. "Now please give it up for my son, Prince Alistair!" Twilight said stepping aside. Alistair then took a deep breath and walked towards the balcony, once he got there, he looked down and his pony and changeling subjects and they all began to cheer once they saw the young Prince. "Hello there everypony." Alistair said with a wave of his hoof and all of his subjects waved back. "Today is a very special occasion for us changelings and ponies because we have to develop more peace after my parents marriage and it has been processing about fifty out of one-hundred." Alistair said with a happy and disconsolated mixed expression "And here's what I want to say, although many ponies or changelings have different status in life, but everyponies dignity is still the same, so I solemnly wish that we can all start to respect each other from now on if some haven't." He finished with a smile. When the ponies and changelings have all heard Alistair's speech, they all began to cheer loudly again. "Spoken like an adult!" Said a stallion. "Your so adorable." Said a mare. Alistair blushed embarrassingly when he heard all of those comments, he then looked at his mother and she gave him a proud expression. "That was great Alistair." Twilight said with a proud smile, and Alistair smiled back "Now proceed." Alistair then looked down at his subjects again and began to resume his speech. "And to maintain our peace between changelings and ponies, I have decided to-" Alistair wasn't able to finish his sentence when a loud grunting noise was heard. "Augghhh!" Grunted a Royal guard as he slid on the dirt near the ponies and changelings with a bleeding muzzle which shocked all of them. "Your soldiers are pathetic and impotent." Said an intimidating voice that Alistair recognized. All of the ponies and changelings looked in front of them. They then saw an army of metal masked ponies in what looks to be like metal gear, and they also saw a very muscular human wearing a green suit. "Attack!" The human ordered. Then the armoured ponies attacked all of the ponies and changeling which made them panic. The guards tried to fight the army but they got a power side kick into the face which sent them flying. Two pegasuses flew up on the balcony and attempted to snatch the changeling and pony hybrid Prince. "Ahh!" The two aarmoured ponies weren't able to touch the Prince when Twilight fired two magical shots at their chests which made them fall on the ground. "Come on Alistair let's get out of here!" Twilight said as she grabbed her son's hoof and ran away with him. Twilight and Alistair were running through the hallway trying to get to the exit of the castle. But after they made a left turn, they encountered two armoured ponies. And they instantly got into battle stances. Twilight then looked down at her son. "Sweetie, run to the exit of the castle. Mommy will be meet you outside." "But mommy." "Don't worry honey I'll be fine." She told him. Alistair then turned around and ran to the exit of the castle. Twilight turned around and looked at the two ponies and saw that they were already running towards her which caught her off guard. "Twily!" Unexpectedly, Thorax ran up in front of Twilight and blasted the two ponies down on the floor. "Thory?" "Let's talk later, right now we have some villains to fight." Thorax told his wife. "Alright." Twilight said with a nod, then she and her husband got into battle stances along with the armoured horses who have just recovered and stood up quickly without any signs of injuries. "Come on you two!" Thorax and Twilight said in unison. In the other side of the hallway, Alistair was running to the exit of the castle trying to escape from the invaders from his mother's order. After he made a left turn he encountered the exit door. "Alright, time to get out of here." Alistair said picking up the pace, but suddenly, four armoured ponies broken through the roof and step in front of Alistair which made him stop. The four ponies casually walked up to the young Prince with two holding a large bag. Alistair tried to fight them back by blasting his magic beam at one of the ponies but it disappeared when it collided with his mask. Then the four guards ran up to Alistair and tried to snatch him with the bag. "Ahhhhh!" Alistair said while covering himself with his wings and hooves. https://img.youtube.com/vi/dy_eZSKMRkQ/mqdefault.jpg "Hiyaah!" Said an intimate voice. When Alistair heard the familiar noise, he uncovered himself and saw Ip man taking out one of the armoured changelings and making the rest fall on the floor. He then stood in front of Alistair and got into a battle stance and began to carefully study his opponents. The four ponies quickly stood up and got into battle stances as well and prepared to fight the human. Then one of the ponies behind him decided to make his first move, he ran up to him and attempted to back-kick him in the back. When Ip man felt the attack, he turned around and pushed the pony to the ground and stomped on his face knocking him out. The second pony ran up to him and attempted to punch him, but it turned out to be a futile idea when Ip man grabbed his hoof and twisted it making the pony wince in pain, after that, Ip pan grabbed the pony by it's face and threw him to the wall knocking him out in the process. The two final ponies both ran up to the human and sent punches and kicks at him at the same time but Ip man was able to block the attacks. He then grabbed one of them by his or her hoof and swung him or her directly at the other pony making them clash into each other and crash into a wall knocking them out in the process. After the battle, Ip man looked down at Alistair. "You okay Alistair?" Ip man asked. "I'm okay mister Ip man." Alistair replied with a nod. "Where are your parents?" Ip man asked. "I don't know, my mommy said that she will meet me outside of the castle." Alistair told him. "Then let's go." Alistair then stood up and ran to the exit doors of the castle with Ip man behind him. Once they have exited the castle, Alistair looked in front of him and saw that his pony and changeling subjects have been surrounded by a dark field of magic. He looked closer and saw his aunts, uncle Shining Armor, and parents surrounded by the dark magic as well with the green suited human that attacked him yesterday in the Everfree forest. "Let's teleport out of here men!" Said the human. "No! Daddy! Mommy!" Alistair said running to his parents but all of them got teleported away. When Alistair saw that everypony got teleported away, he bent down on the ground and began to cry. "Daddy... Mommy." Alistair said between sobs. Ip man then walked up to Alistair and picked him up with his hands, he then pulled him in for a hug. "Don't worry Alistair, I'll get your parents back. I promise." Ip man said, and Alistair cried into his chest. Author's Note Another chapter finished!

And I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! //-------------------------------------------------------// Heading to Sombra's castle //-------------------------------------------------------// Heading to Sombra's castle King Sombra's castle In King Sombra's castle, King Sombra's army was pulling King Thorax, Queen Twilight, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Spike, Fluttershy, Applejack, the ponies and the changelings metal cage to King Sombra's throne room, and most of the ponies and changelings are panicking. "We have to get out of here." Pinkie whispered to Twilight. "We can't Pinkie, they have us captured and occupied." Twilight said with no hope. When Thorax saw his wife's depressed and hope lost expression, he pulled her close to him and calmed her down with a nuzzle. "Don't loose hope Twily." King Sombra's army then reached their King's throne room, Barton pushed it opened and everypony saw King Sombra. "Well well well, what do we have here?" Sombra said with an evil smile. Thorax then gripped his hooves onto the bars of the cage and sent Sombra a dangerous glare. "King Sombra." Thorax growled "I knew that you weren't defeated by me and my wife's combination magic." Sombra laughed evily and got off his throne. "They say that you are smart, but that is very impressive." Sombra said with another evil smile. "You won't get away with this." Twilight glared at him "My son will save us and kick your butt!" She told him. "Ah yes the little junior, where do you think he is right now?" Sombra asked looking around his throne room and saw no signs of the young Prince. He then looked back at the cage with another evil smile "How unfortunate, your son has abandoned you all like a little coward. How is he even gonna be the new ruler of Equestria?" Sombra mocked. When they heard the insult, Twilight, Thorax, the two Princesses, Shining Armor, Spike and Twilight's friends all gripped onto the metal bars of the cage and sent dangerous glares towards the vile King. "How dare you insult my nephew?" Shining growled. "He'll come back for us, we know it!" Twilight's friends said with so much confident. "Nopony insults my son and gets away with it." Thorax said in a minacious voice. "You'll get a serious repercussion after my son saves us." Twilight said in a menacing voice almost similar to her husband's. "You'll regret saying that Sombra." Celestia and Luna said in unison and dangerously. Sombra then laughed evily. "Hahahaha! Oh yeah? Then how come he is not here right now?" Sombra asked in a mockery voice. "Your son is a huge disappointment and is like a little chicken Prince." He mocked again. The ponies and the changelings tried to say something to Sombra but they were cut off when Sombra ordered Barton to send them to the dungeon, Barton then nodded and began to pull the huge cage to the dungeon with his army. "Even if he comes here, I will blast him to smithereens, and hang him on my wall." Sombra said coldly. In the Everfree forest, Prince Alistair and Grandmaster Ip man were both walking to King Sombra's castle. "Hey Alistair." Ip man called him "Are you sure that this King Sombra was the one who snatched your parents, aunts, uncle and subjects?" He asked. "Of course it was him." Alistair replied in a serious tone "He is my mommy, daddy, my uncle Shining Armor and aunts enemy who tried to conquer the Crystal Empire, so it has to be him." He said seriously. Ip man then bent down and looked at Alistair with a smile. "Now Alistair, you can't just go in there and fight this King Sombra. Because to my assumption, he is an adult considering his title. And you are just a young child so you have to try another way." He enlightened him. Alistair scoffed and said "Yeah, like I am scared of him because he is an adult. He is weak and impulsive, so I can just blast him with my powerful magic that my mommy taught me and he'll be gone for good. And I can save my parents, aunts, uncle, my big brother Spike and my subjects." "But last time I checked, you didn't do well with those other ponies you fought, and your magic didn't even put a dent on either of them." Alistair then thought of his previous battle against four members of King Sombra's army and remembered how weak he was because of his age and height. Alistair then sighed and looked up at Ip man. "Then what else do you have in mind that can help mister Ip man?" Alistair asked raising an eyebrow. "I will teach you my wing chun martial arts." "Martial arts?" Alistair asked incredulously "I'm not into those preposterous things. I'd rather study more magic spells." He whined almost like a tantrum. "Look Alistair, your parents, aunts, big brother, uncle and your subjects are now depending on you, because you are the only one who can rescue them." Ip man told him "And your magic thing won't be strong enough to fight those adults, and your still a kid. So you have to choose to study my martial art." He finished desperately. Alistair then took a few moments to think about it. It is true that his magic that his mother taught him was powerful. But, it wasn't too strong because of his age and height. After thinking for ten more seconds, he sighed and looked up at Ip man with a defeated expression. "Alright mister Ip man, I will study your martial art." Ip man smiled and stood up when he heard the response. "Great!" He said with a smile "But from now on, you have to call me master Ip man or just master." He told him. Alistair wanted to say something back, but he had no words to back him up. "Yes master." "Great, now let's get sta-" Ip man wasn't able to finish his sentence when he heard a voice of a little girl. "Alistair!" When Alistair heard the intimate voice, he turned around and saw Princess Narcissa Serenata running up to him and stopping with heavy breathing. "Narcissa?" Alistair said as he looked at her "What are you doing here? How did you escape?" He asked disorientate. "Well, to answer your first one, I saw you and the human walking to the Everfree forest and to Sombra's castle, so I decided to follow you two as well because my daddy and mommy were also captured." Narcissa told him between breaths and a disconsolated expression. "Oh, I'm very sorry." Alistair said in sorrow. "It's okay, besides, I can tag along with all of you to save my daddy, mommy and subjects along with your parents and aunts." She told him. "Okay." "And to answer your final question. I never escaped the castle, I just hid in a closet with some of King Sombra's army searching for me. But luckily, they never found me." She said with a smile. "Oh, you cunning Princess." Alistair chuckled, and Narcissa giggled at the Prince's remark. "So anyways." Narcissa said "Who is this human?" She asked looking at the black coated human. "This is Grandmaster Ip man." Alistair introduced him to her "And Ip man, this is Princess Narcissa Serenata, daughter of Prince Bluehood and Princess Songbird Serenade." "Nice to meet you Princess Narcissa." Ip man said taking a bow. "Nice too meet you too mister Ip man, and it is nice to see another kind human." Narcissa said with a smile. "Indeed it is." Alistair said. "Anyways, I was going to teach Alistair my martial art to prepare him to rescue his parents, aunts, uncle, bug brother and subjects." Ip man told her "Would you like to tag along?" He asked. Narcissa then nodded eagerly. "You bet I do!" Narcissa said in excitement "I am always up to learning new stuffs!" "I like your enthusiasm." Ip man chuckled "Then let's get started." "Okay." Alistair and Narcissa said in unison. Author's Note Another chapter finished! I hope you all enjoyed it! //-------------------------------------------------------// Training part 1 //-------------------------------------------------------// Training part 1 In a section of the Everfree forest, Ip man was about to instigate training for Prince Alistair and Princess Narcissa Serenata. First he set up an open location with lots of grass and less trees. Alistair and Narcissa then formed a line and began to listen to Ip man's instructions about his martial art. "Okay you two listen closely. Wing chun is all about defence and attack, it is mainly good for close fighting." "Close fighting?" Alistair asked "So it's all about pinning our enemies down?" "Precisely Alistair, but it's mostly on defence and fast combos." He told him. "Whoa fast combos?" Narcissa said amazed "So we can fight as fast as aunt Rainbow Dash?" She asked. "Pretty much." Ip man said with a shrug "Anyways, let's get started. We'll first start of with the basics." He finished getting in position. "Alright let's start with standing up straight with your hands and feet like this." Ip man said which perplexed the two royals, they didn't have hands. "Um, sorry to say to you mister Ip man but, we don't have hands." "Oh! Um right, because you guys are ponies." Ip man said with an embarrassed smile "Well, just scratch everything I said. Place your hooves together and stand up straight." The two foals did what Ip man instructed and stood up straight with their hooves placed together. "Is this how you do it master Ip man?" Alistair asked. "You two are correct." "Woohoo! This is easy!" Narcissa said with a smile. "Okay now spread your legs apart like this into a parallel stance." Ip man said as he showed him the parallel stance "And now bend your knees and placed your hooves on your chest level." He demonstrated. Alistair and Narcissa did what Ip man demonstrated and began to do what he is doing now. They spread their hooves apart and got into a parallel stance. After that, they did step two, they bent their knees and placed their hooves on their chest level. "Perfect." Ip man said satisfied. "Thank you." Narcissa said "Then what do we do?" She asked. "Now drop your knees down slightly down and up like this." Ip man said as he slight bent his knees down "Let's do it ten times." "Okay." Alistair and Narcissa said in unison. They then bent their knees down ten times, but when Narcissa did it six times, she felt a small pain on her hooves and she nearly lost her balance. "Whoa!" "Narcissa!" Alistair said as he went to her aid "Are you okay?" He asked. "I'm okay Ali." "You might feel a mile discomfort while your doing it, but it's part of training." Ip man told them. Narcissa quickly recovered and got back into the stance again. She and Alistair did the bending stance four more times and they have accomplished it. "Okay, so what's next?" Narcissa asked. "Now, we will learn about attacks." Ip man said. "Nice!" Narcissa said with enthusiasm. "Okay, here are some attacks." Ip man said as he began to demonstrate some of the attacks from wing chun "This is the dispersing hand." He said as he moved his arms and did a punch. "It is mainly described as a palm up block, it implies a force against force movement, which it can be if necessary but that description diminishes it's true function which is to disperse the incoming energy from an opponent's strike." Ip man said. Both Alistair and Narcissa were amazed at his words. "Whoa, this dispersing hand move must be very dandy." Narcissa said. "Exactly, Princess Narcissa." Ip man said, he then showed them another one. "And this is the simultaneous defence and attack." Ip man said as let out some very hasty punches which amazed the two royals. "Whoa, those punches are as fast as aunt Rainbow Dash's flight speed." Said Alistair. "It's almost like the speed of a manticore." Narcissa said with an awe expression. "Indeed, but for today, we'll learn about the dispersing hands or hooves first, pair up you two." Ip man told them. Alistair and Narcissa did what Ip man instructed them to do and paired up. "Now place your hooves in the air together." Ip man instructed. Alistair and Narcissa did what Ip man instructed them to do again and placed their hooves in the air near their faces. "Now begin." Alistair and Narcissa then did what Ip man told and did the dispersing hand method attack. Narcissa did an attack first and Alistair blocked it. "Not bad Alistair." "Thank you master Ip man." They then returned to position and Alistair was the next to attack. He pushed his right hoof forward and did a punch. When Narcissa noticed the punch, she instantly blocked it with her right hoof. "Not bad Princess Narcissa." "Thank you very much grandmaster Ip man." Narcissa said taking a bow. "Okay, now let's proceed." Alistair and Narcissa have been practising wing chun for two hours now and it was getting late. When Ip man noticed that it was almost night time, he looked at the two kids and said "Alright you two, we'll end it here. Let's find a place to sleep." Alistair looked at Ip man and said "Okay master Ip man, follow me, I know a place where we can spend the night." "Okay." Ip man said. After that, Alistair guided Ip man and Narcissa to where they will be sleeping for the night. After walking for three minutes, Alistair have led Ip man and Narcissa to a large cave with soft grass in it. "A cave?" Ip man asked. "I know you humans are not comfortable with caves but, at least it's shelter." Narcissa then zoomed past the two and lied on the soft grass and sighed gratefully. "I just love the soft grass." Narcissa said moving around the grass. Alistair chuckled and lied next to Narcissa blushed when she saw the young and handsome Prince lying next to her. "Let's get some sleep Narcissa, we'll need it for the rescuing." Narcissa then immediately embraced Alistair to a hug which made Alistair blushed furiously. "I've been wanting to do this forever." Narcissa said with a smile. Alistair chuckled and hugged Narcissa back. After that, he placed his head on her's, then they drifted into sleep. Ip man gave out a warm smile when he saw them so happy together. "他们让我想起了我和妻子结婚之后的那一天,那是我一生中最美好的一天. (They remind me of the time after me and my wife were married, that was the best day of my life.)" Ip man remembered. After that, he lied down next to the two kids and drifted to sleep as well. Author's Note Another chapter finished! Had to do some research about Wing chun on Google and in the Ip man movies. Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! //-------------------------------------------------------// Training part 2 //-------------------------------------------------------// Training part 2 The next day It was 8:00am in Equestria and the sun shined through the cave entrance where Prince Alistair, Princess Narcissa Serenata and Ip man were sleeping, but Ip man was already up. When the sunlight hit Alistair's face, he moaned and opened his eyes. He then let out a yawn and looked at Narcissa and saw her sleeping comfortably with a warm smile which made Alistair beam. "She's so cute when she sleeps." Alistair thought with a warm smile. Then he heard a sound of somepony clearing his throat. Alistair looked in front of him and saw Ip man starring down at the lovely royals with a smile. "Oh, um... good morning master Ip man." Alsitair said quietly so that he didn't wake Narcissa up. "Good morning Alistair." Ip man said with a smile "Did you and your girlfriend had a nice and comfortable sleep last night?" He asked. "Of course." Alsitair replied with a nod "It was very pleasant." He finished with a warm smile. "That's good to hear. You two remind me of the time when me and my wife were married." "You have a wife?" Alistair asked with wide eyes. "Yes." Ip man replied with a nod "Her name was Cheung Wing-Sing. She was the love of my life, very beautiful and smart." "Whoa, your wife is almost equivalent to my mother and Narcissa considering the word smart." Alistair said with a smile "Hoe is she now?" He asked. Ip man's happy expression then turned into a depressed expression. "She uh... died from cancer." Alistair gasped in horror when he heard that, that was a very tragic and disconsolating event that Ip man told him. "I-I'm so sorry Ip man." "It's alright, besides, the past is the past." Ip man assured him "And I can also feel the live affection you and Narcissa have right now. I bet you two will be married and have a son or daughter in the future." Alistair blushed furiously when he heard that, he then looked at Narcissa and said "That would be lovely." "Absolutely." Ip man said with a nod "Anyways, want to resume training?" "Sure." Alistair nodded unreservedly. Then Narcissa woke up, she let out a cute yawn and opened her eyes. When she saw Alistair next to her, she gave him a warm nuzzle which made him blush. "Good morning Ali." "Morning Narcissa." Narcissa then looked up in front of her and saw grandmaster Ip man awake. "Good morning master Ip man, what will we be doing today?" She asked. "Well today, we'll be learning more about defence in Wing Chun." "Cool, then let's get started." Narcissa said as she stood up along with Alistair. Ip man has set up a feasible and opened location for him to train the two kids. Alistair and Narcissa formed a line and got into a low stance that Ip man taught them yesterday. "Alright, so today we will be learning about the sticky hands technique." Ip man told them. Both Alistair and Narcissa snickered by the waggish name. "Sticky hands?" Alistair asked with a snicker "What is it like? Do you stick glue onto your hooves and get stuck with an enemy?" "Hahaha! Nice one Ali." Said Narcissa. "Um... no. The sticky hand move is an exercise used to develop touch sensitivity." Ip man corrected them. "Oh, is it like to trap or grapple your enemies?" Alistair asked. "That's correct Alistair." Ip man said with a nod. He then began to explain the technique and how it is used "The sticky hand move is mainly used for trapping and grappling your enemy in case of an attack. And when an enemy attacks you, you place your hands or hooves on your enemies hooves or hands like this." Ip man explained as he placed his hands on the air and imagined that there was an enemy in front of him. He then began to rotate his hands. "You grapple your enemies by their hooves and rotate them." He explained "And if you are strong, you might be able to throw your opponent to the ground." He finished which amazed the two royals. "Whoa, this sticky hand technique sure is dandy like the dispersing hands." Alistair said impressed along with Narcissa. "Exactly Prince Alistair. Now pair up you two." Alistair and Narcissa did what Ip man instructed and paired up. They then placed each other's hooves in the air and grabbed onto each other. After that, they began to rotate their hooves together. Ip man looked behind him and saw a tree with four short branches, two were on the top together, one was under the two top ones, and the last on was at the lower level almost as similar as the wing chun dummy he has at home. "也许我可以把这棵树当做翼春假人. (Maybe I can use this tree as a wing chun dummy.)" Ip man thought. He then looked back at the two royals who were still doing the sticky hands technique. "Hey you two." Ip man called them. Alistair and Narcissa both ceased their training and looked at Ip man. "What is it master Ip man?" Alistair and Narcissa asked in unison. "Come here, let me show you how wing chun really works." Ip man told them. "Okay." Alistair and Narcissa said in unison again. They then walked up to Ip man and saw him walking up to a tree which perplexed them. Ip man then placed his hands on the tree branches and began to do his wing chun moves, and the two royals were wowed by what he is doing because his moves are very quick. After ten seconds, Ip man finished his attacks and looked at the two royals. "Now that was very hasty." Alistair said with a flabbergast expression. "What was that technique?" Narcissa asked desperately. "It wasn't any techniques, I was using the tree as a wing chun dummy." "What's a wing chun dummy?" Alistair asked perplexed. "A wing chun dummy is mainly used for enemy fight training. The wooden slats on which the muk yan jong is mounted has a springiness that is similar to a human opponent's involuntary reaction and allows the user to practice absorbing energy into his or her stance." Ip man explained. "Wow, now that is an astonishing information you gave out." Said Alistair. "Indeed." Narcissa agreed with a nod. "Thank you. Now let's get started." Ip man said "Alistair, would you like to volunteer first?" He asked. "Absolutely." Alistair replied with a nod. He then walked up to the tree and Ip man instructed him on how to use it like a wing chun dummy, and he taught him and Narcissa the same way he taught his pupils. Ip man has been training Alistair and Narcissa for 14 hours now and it was getting late. He looked at the two children and said "Alistair, Narcissa. Let's end it here for today." Alistair and Narcissa both looked at Ip man and said "Okay master Ip man." They then walked back to their cave shelter and lied on the soft grass, then they drifted to sleep. Author's Note Another chapter finished! I hope you all enjoyed it! And sorry if it was rushed again, I was very busy today. //-------------------------------------------------------// A romantic dance //-------------------------------------------------------// A romantic dance King Sombra's castle dungeon In the dungeons of King Sombra's castle, King Thorax, Queen Twilight, Princess Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Alistair's tegu pet Vector the changelings and the ponies were held in the dungeons. Rainbow Dash tried to free all of them by bashing her into the door but it never budged. "You have already tried that like fourteen times Rainbow Dash." Thorax told her indignantly. "I don't care, no prisons can hold me." Rainbow Dash said phlegmatically. Twilight rolled her eyes in irritation after hearing another one of Rainbow Dash's precipitous remark. "Rainbow Dash, can't you see that you are being temerarious right now?" Thorax told her "And your exertion can jeopardise all of us." He finished with detail. Rainbow Dash took a few seconds to think about Thorax's word. After ten seconds, she came to an understanding and she sat back down. "I guess your sense is veracious Thorax." Rainbow Dash sighed. "Again, thank you for your logical words." "Your welcome Rainbow." Thorax said with a warm smile, Twilight thanked Thorax with a kiss to his cheek, and Thorax returned Twilight's appreciation with a nuzzle. Everypony was silent for a second, but then two ponies broke it. "Oh no! Where's our little Princess?!" The ponies said agitated. Everypony turned around and saw that it was Prince Bluehood and Princess Songbird who were panicking. "What's wrong you two?" Fluttershy asked. Bluehood and Songbird both looked at Fluttershy and said "Our daughter Narcissa is not with us!" Twilight's eyes widened when she heard that. "Wait a minute, if she is not with you two then..." Twilight took a while to think and she might knows where she is. "Then she must be with Alistair!" She said. Bluehood and Songbird eyes widened and they both glared at Thorax and Twilight, and Twilight glared back at them. "Your son better not do anything to our little Princess." Bluehood and Songbird both said in unison. "And your daughter better not get anywhere close to my baby." Twilight growled while sending them a dangerous glare which made everypony take some steps back in anxiety. "Okay okay, let's all calm down here and take some deep breaths." Thorax said while getting between the three ponies. Twilight then pulled Thorax near her. "Thorax, how can you not be serious about this?" Twilight asked "Bluehood and Songbird's daughter is probably trying to court our son! And I won't allow that!" She said sternly. "But, can't you let our son find somepony he likes?" Thorax asked raising an eyebrow. Twilight looked at her husband and said "Of course not! He is my brave and smart Prince, and I won't let any mares in Equestria to become his wife!" Thorax then sighed in sadness when he heard that. After that, he turned around and walked to the ponies and changelings. "And if your son tries to make a move on my daughter, I will tear his hooves off!" Bluehood yelled. "Oh I dare you Prince Bluehood." Twilight said sending him and Songbird a death glare. Everypony and the changelings were looking at the royals with petrified expressions. "Wow, those three just can't get along." Pinkie whispered to Thorax. "Indeed." Fluttershy whispered back with a nod. "Maybe it's because they are too overprotective." Said Thorax "Like I don't mind my son having a special somepony, but Twilight, doesn't approves." He finished with a disconsolated expression. 12:00pm In the cave where Alistair, Narcissa and Ip man were sleeping, Narcissa slowly woke up because of the cold hitting her skin despite her skirt and wings covering her. She moaned and slowly woke up. "Yeesh! It's so cold!" Narcissa whimpered. Narcissa's whimper noise woke up Alistair, he slowly rolled his body to the right and saw Narcissa whimpering because of the cold. He then slowly inched himself close to her and placed his wings on her, warming her body up. When Narcissa felt Alistair's warm touch, she blushed softly and slowly rolled her body to the right and embraced him in a hug. "Thank you Ali." Narcissa said softly with a warm smile. "Your welcome." Alistair smiled back "Are you freezing?" He asked and Narcissa replied with a nod. "Yeah." Narcissa sighed softly "I think I know what will make me tepid." She told him. "And what would that be?" Alistair asked. "Maybe a small dance, would you like to dance with me Alistair?" Narcissa asked desperately. Alistair looked outside for a moment and saw that there were no timber wolves or manticores outside, and grandmaster Ip man was sound asleep. He then looked at Narcissa and said "Sure, but just for a while." "Yay." The two of then sat up at the same time and sneaked past Ip man, they then walked to an open area. "Maybe this can make us focus more." Narcissa said grabbing a small music player device out which discombobulated Alistair. "Did you had that with you the whole time?" Alistair asked perplexed. "Of course, I can play some human music's with it." Narcissa told him quietly, she then began to pick a song. "Okay, which will be more suitable? Do do dooo, oh, here's one." Narcissa said as she tapped on the music. https://img.youtube.com/vi/o26lcxmdYwQ/mqdefault.jpg There were a few soft beats at the opening, then music. "Oh, this song." Alistair said. "You know this song?" Narcissa asked. "Yeah, it's from one of their movies. You must've got it from an alternate human universe eh?" Alistair asked. "Yep." Narcissa replied with a nod "Anyways, let's dance." Narcissa said as she grabbed Alistair hooves. In the cave, Ip man got woken up by the sound of a song. "What is that noise?" Ip man asked as he sat up straight. He looked around and saw that Alistair and Narcissa were gone which made his eyes widen. "他们去哪了? (Where did they go?)" Ip man said as he exited the cave. He then looked in front of him and saw the two children dancing with each other with made him awe. "Step to the left and a twirl." Alistair said as he helped Narcissa do a twirl following the beat of the music. "哇,真是太神奇了. (Wow, what an amazing scene.)" And when the music came to an end, Alistair lifted Narcissa up in the air, and Narcissa had to spread her wings out to keep her balance. After that, Alistair lowered Narcissa on the ground and the two starred at each other with blushes on their cheeks. Alistair then inched his face close to hers with his eyes closed. When Narcissa saw that he was about to kiss her, she got exited. She then closed her eyes as well and inched her head close to his. After that, they both shared a tender kiss which made Ip man smile warmly. After ten seconds, the two kids released each other and a thin strand of saliva was the evidence of their past action. Alistair then gently pushed Narcissa on the soft grass and on her back. He then lied on top of her body, and Narcissa got exhilarated, she then leaned her head on the grass. Alistair then slowly moved his head to her chest level and attempted to take off her skirt. When Narcissa noticed that her skirt was being attempted to take off, she looked up and stopped Alistair. "Alistair, wait." Narcissa said with an anxious expression. Alistair stopped himself just in time and ceased his attempt on taking off Narcissa's skirt. He then moved his head back to hers. "I-I don't want to do that yet." She whimpered, as she rubbed her wings on her face. Alistair then shook his head quickly trying to snap himself out of it. "I'm so sorry Narcissa, I don't know what has gotten into me." "It's okay." Narcissa said with a smile "As long as you are with me I'm happy." She finished with a nuzzle, after that, they slept together on the grass. Ip man smiled after watching that scene, it was like the time when he and his wife had a dance. After that, he turned around and returned back to the cave trying not to disturb the two lovely couple. Author's Note I hope you all enjoyed this romantic chapter! And I do not own the video I am using for this chapter, it belongs to it's original owner. //-------------------------------------------------------// Arrival //-------------------------------------------------------// Arrival King Sombra's castle dungeons In one of the sections of King Sombra's dungeon, Thorax, Twilight, Twilight's friends, Princess Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Shining Armor, the changelings and the ponies were all being enslaved by King Sombra's guards and are now working in the mines. The changelings and ponies were mining endlessly and were very enervated by some of the guards. The Princesses were pushing mine carts, Shining Armor was pushing large boulders with all of his might, and Thorax, Twilight and her friends were endless and tirelessly moving large rocks around the mine. Twilight lifted one and accidentally tripped down and bruised her hoof. "Ahh!" Twilight winced in pain, she then looked down on her hooves and saw a scratch mark. "Twily!" Thorax said as he ran to Twilight's aid. "What's wrong?" He asked. Twilight then slowly turned around and looked at her husband with a pained expression. "Thory, my hoof." Twilight winced with a tear rolling down her right cheek. Thorax then looked down on her hoof and saw that she had a scratch mark on her. He then grabbed her hoof and said "Okay, hold still." Thorax then activated his horn and a glow developed on Twilight's bruised hoof. After five seconds, the glowing stopped and the bruise disappeared. "Thank you Thorax." Twilight smiled. "Your welcome Twily." Thorax said as he and his wife shared a tender kiss. They then released and laughed. "Thorax." "Yes?" "Can you scratch away everything I said during the breakfast the last two days and sleep with me once we escape?" Twilight asked quietly. "Of course." Thorax replied with a smile "I can forget about the past event like rubbing something off a chalk board." He finished. Twilight smiled and nuzzled her husband and Thorax nuzzled back. Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie were all looking at Thorax and Twilight with smiles on their faces. "What a lovely couple those two are." All of them said in unison. The gleeful and passionate moment soon came to a conclusion when two guards walked up to king Thorax and Queen Twilight and coerced them into going back to work. The two couple bregrudingly stood back up and instigated their work again leaving everypony disconsolated and fatigued. The sun shined on the grassy hill, Alistair and Narcissa were both snuggling comfortably while embracing each other. Then the sunlight shined directly at Alistair's face which made him wake up. He moaned and opened his eyes, he then sat up and yawned delightfully. He then looked down on his left and saw Narcissa sleeping with a restful expression. "She's so cute when she sleeps." Alistair said with a smile. Then Narcissa woke up, she slowly opened her eyes and saw Alistair which made her smile. "Morning Narcissy." Narcissa giggled at the nickname that Alistair gave her. "Good morning Ali." She said. After that, she sat up and stretched her hooves and wings. "So, what do we do now?" She asked. "Let's go back into the cave and reunite with master Ip man first, then we can start to make our way to King Sombra's castle." "Okay." Narcissa said with a nod. Both of them then stood up and turned around, after that, they walked back to the cave. Once Alistair and Narcissa both made it back to the cave, Alistair called Ip man. "Master Ip man." Alistair called, but then, he heard the sound of coughing. "Is something wrong with Ip man?" Narcissa asked looking at Alistair. "I don't know." He replied with a shrug "Let's check it out." He said as he and Narcissa walked into the cave and made a right turn. They then saw Ip man covering his mouth with a cigarette on his left hand. "Mister Ip man?" Narcissa called him. When Ip man heard Narcissa's voice, he tilted his head to the left and saw Alistair and Narcissa starring at him with scandalized expressions. Ip man then threw away the cigarette and waved at his two new pupils. "Hello there Alistair." Ip man waved at him "Hello there Narcissa." Ip man waved at her. "Why were you smoking that cigarette that you humans always use?" Alistair asked "It's bad for your health." He told him. "Yeah." Narcissa agreed. Ip man chuckled and said "Well, many people like me li-" Ip man wasn't able to finish his sentence when he coughed again. "Are you okay?" Alistair and Narcissa asked in unison. Ip man then sighed and began to tell them what was going on with him. "You two, the reason why I'm very slow and showing some coughing symptoms is because-" "Because of what?" Alistair and Narcissa asked in unison again. Ip man took a deep breath. "I have cancer." Alistair and Narcissa both gasped in horror when they heard that. "Oh my." Alistair said traumatized. "How did this happen to you?" Narcissa asked. "It's a very long story." Ip man told them with a shake of his head, he then stood up "It's normal for me, because I am very old right now." Alistair tried to say something but Ip man cut him off. "Alistair, would you mind leading me to King Sombra's castle?" Ip man asked. Alistair then sighed and said "Okay, follow me." He then turned around and walked out of the cave and began to direct Ip man and Narcissa to King Sombra's castle. After walking for ten minutes, they have finally arrived at the entrance of King Sombra's castle. "Here we are." Alistair told them. "That was a lot of uphill and downhills." Narcissa said exhausted. Ip man took a quick glance at the castle and saw that it was not scary at all. "I'd at least expect something a little more scary but-" "What?" Alistair asked. "Eh nothing." Ip man said with shrug. "Let's go in already, I want to quickly rescue my mommy and daddy as well as my pony subjects." Narcissa told them. Alistair nodded and stepped in front of the doors of the castle with Ip man and Narcissa behind him. "Alright, get ready guys." Alistair said as he activated his horn. "I'm ready." Narcissa said spreading her wings. "I'm always prepared for a fight." Ip man said getting into a stance. "Okay." Alistair said with a nod. After that, he pushed the two doors opened and entered with Narcissa and Ip man behind him. Author's Note Another chapter finished! I hope you all enjoyed it! //-------------------------------------------------------// Wing chun vs medieval arts //-------------------------------------------------------// Wing chun vs medieval arts Once Alistair opened the doors of King Sombra's castle, he activated his horn and illuminated the dark area a little and saw that they were in the main lobby. He then turned around and looked at Ip man Narcissa. "Come on guys, it's clear." Alistair told them. Ip man and Narcissa both nodded in unison and entered the castle. Once they were in, Narcissa immediately stuck by Alistair's side. Not because it was tenebrous, but it was very petrfying. "Scared?" Alistair asked. "Uh huh." Narcissa replied with a nod "I just want to quickly rescue my mommy, daddy, the ponies and the changelings as soon as possible before King Sombra tortures them." She finished with anxiety. Alistair soothed Narcissa down with a kiss to her lips, and Narcissa kissed back. They released and Alistair gave her a confident expression. "Don't worry Narcissa, we can do this." Alistair assured her "We learned a very practical human martial art from master Ip man remember? So we have nothing to fret." He finished with a nuzzle. "I guess your right." Narcissa giggled. In King Sombra's throne room, Barton Geddes was bowing down in front of Sombra after his successful capture at Canterlot. "Well done Barton." Sombra told him. "Thank you sir, now I guess I have earned my ticket back home." "I'm sorry, but no." Sombra told him with an evil smile. Barton's eyes widened when he heard that, he then stood up straight. "What do you mean no?" He asked with an enraged and perplexed mixed expression. "You think that I would let you go that easily?" Sombra asked "You forgot to capture Prince Alistair you ignoramus human! So you have no way home!" He finished. "You, you betrayed me!" Barton exclaimed. "Actually, I barely even thought about you you weedy human." Sombra told him with an evil chuckle. When Barton heard the insult, he got into a battle stance and charged towards Sombra attempting to hit him in the face with a kick. Barton wasn't able to reach King Sombra when he froze him with his magic, then Barton became an ice sculpture. Then some pony guards began to push the frozen Barton to King Sombra's collection room. "Now, you'll be placed in my collection room." Sombra said quietly with a nefarious smile. King Sombra's wicked smile was eventually put to an end when one of his guards walked up to him. "King Sombra!" He saluted. "What is it?" Sombra sighed indignantly. "We have three infiltrators." The guard told him. When King Sombra heard this, his eyes widened. He then looked at the guard and asked "Who's there?" "Prince Alistair, Princess Narcissa Serenata and a human in a black coat." He told him. King Sombra then looked at the standard guards in front of him and began to give them some orders. "You six! Go and kill those three right now!" Sombra ordered. The six guards saluted and ran to Prince Alistair, Princess Narcissa Serenata and Ip man's location with spears equipped on them. Alistair, Narcissa and Ip man were casually strolling through the dark hallway trying to reach either the dungeon, mines or King Sombra's throne room to search for all of the ponies and changelings. And Alistair's glowing horn was only able to illuminate a small area of the hallway. "It's very dark in here." Ip man commented looking around the castle's hallway. "You can say that again." Alistair told him. But then a clicking noise was heard and a light shined in front of Alistair. "What the?" Alistair said perplexed. He then turned around and saw Narcissa with a flashlight in her right hoof. "You had a flashlight with you the entire time?" Alistair asked exasperated. "A good adventurous pony or changeling is always prepared for dire situations like this." Narcissa said with a smile "And I wanted to conserve the battery level." She told him. "Huh." Alistair said with a roll of his eyes. The flashlight made Up man look straight in front of him. And when he looked, he saw someone with green glowing eyes approaching them. "Um guys, who is that?" Ip man asked pointing in front of him. When Alistair and Narcissa heard him, they loomed in front of them and saw two green buggy glowing eyes approaching them slowly and casually. Alistair then began to converse with the strange figure. "Hello? Who are you?" Alistair asked. But then five more figures approached which petrified Narcissa. When the figures got closer. Alistair could get a better look at them, and the reveal made his eyes go wide open because there were six ponies equipped with spear on them and wearing some dark armour. Alistair must assume that they were members of King Sombra's army. "They are members of King Sombra's guards." Alistair said. The six guards then aimed their spears at them and prepared to charge. When Ip man noticed the enemies preparation, he immediately got into a stance. "Get ready guys." Ip man told them. Alistair and Narcissa nodded and got into Wing Chun stances. Then the six guards charged towards them. One of the guards targeted Ip man first. He drew his hooves back and attempted to poke Ip man's chest with his spear. When Ip man noticed the attack, he moved his head to the right and grabbed the spear. After that, he yanked it away from the pony, then he used the spear's back to hit him in the face and it was a direct hit and the pony got sent crashing into a wall. Two guards approached Alistair with their spear's pointed at him. Alistair didn't even gave them the chance to poke him with their spears. He activated his horn and teleported onto one of the guards back. He then kicked the guard next to him in the chest which made him kneel on the floor grunting in pain, but the pain was proven to be too much for him and he lost his conciousness. Alistair then finished the guard he was standing on top of by hitting him in the vagus nerve, and the guard fell on the floor and into a deep sleep. "Science is awesome." Alistair said with a smile. The last three guards were approaching Princess Narcissa with their spears aimed at her ad well, and Narcissa tried to confront and warn them. "Now now now you three, you do not want to mess with me." She warned them "I have learned a very practical human martial art from Ip man." She finished but her warning or confronting didn't work. Then one of the guards attempted to poke her with his spear. When Narcissa noticed the attack, she jumped onto the spear and ran up to the guard and delivered a front kick to his face which made the guard stagger backwards. Narcissa then instantly finished all of the guards by spreading her wings and flapping them drastically fast and she created strong wind. The three guards couldn't stand up to the young Princess's power, they then got sent flying and crashing into a wall which knocked all of them out. And the battle was over. "Phew, what an intense battle." Narcissa said catching her breaths. "Indeed." Alistair said with a nod. "Told you my martial art was very effective." Ip man said looking at the two kids. "I'll give it to you master Ip man, your martial arts is very practical in a dire situation like this." Alistair said with a smile. "Your welcome." Ip man smiled "Anyways, shall we proceed in finding the ponies and changelings?" He asked. "Of course." Alistair said with a nod "Follow me, they can either be in King Sombra's throne room, the dungeons or in the mines." He told them. "Then let's go." Ip man said as he followed Alistair with Narcissa in front of him. Author's Note Phew! It sure did took me a quite a while to write another chapter to my new crossover story. And sorry to keep you all waiting, I was very busy at home last week. //-------------------------------------------------------// Revelations //-------------------------------------------------------// Revelations Alistair, Narcissa and Ip man have been strolling through the dark castle hallway for ten minutes now, and they were nearly reaching the split section area. And thanks to Narcissa's flashlight, it made it drastically more feasible for them to look forward and observe their surroundings in case of any enemies in front or behind them. After walking for another minute, they have reached the split section. "Oh, is this the split section?" Ip man asked. "Indeed it is master Ip man." Alistair told him as he began to scrutinize it. "So, where do you think they could be Alistair?" Narcissa asked him "We are probably about over five hours off schedule or even more." She told him. Alistair thought for a moment then came to a conclusion. "I think everypony is in King Sombra's throne room because that's where he usually puts them after the dungeons." "Okay, then let's go." Narcissa said as she ran forward to the throne room with both Alistair and Ip man behind her. After running forward for ten seconds, they have finally made it to King Sombra's throne room door. Alistair then stood in front of Narcissa and Ip man, placed his right hoof in front of the door and took a deep breath. "Alright, get ready." Alistair told them. Ip man then got into his wing chun stance and Narcissa spread her wings. "Let's go!" After Alistair yelled those two words, he activated his horn and blasted the two doors. And when the magic blast collided with the door, it blew up into pieces and burned off. Then, Alistair, Narcissa and Ip man all entered the throne room and observed their surroundings, and to their surprise, King Sombra was already in front of them sitting on his throne with a wicked smile. "Well well, what do we have here?" King Sombra said coldly. "King Sombra!" Narcissa exclaimed. Alistair glared at King Sombra and said "Where are my parents and subjects you vile jerk?" King Sombra replied by activating his horn. Then a giant cage was pulled down next to his throne, and inside the cage was Alistair and Narcissa's parents as well as many changelings and ponies. "Dad! Mom!" Alistair said. "Mommy! Daddy!" Narcissa said. "Alistair!" Both Thorax and Twilight said in unison while grasping the cage bars. "Narcissa!" Bluehood and Songbird exclaimed in unison. King Sombra then took a quick glance in front of him and saw another human next to them, but this one has less machismo compared to Barton. But then, he recognized who he is. "Are you Ip man the wing chun master?" King Sombra asked. Ip man's eyes widened in surprise when he heard that this King Sombra knows his name and his identity. He has never met a pony or being like him in his life before. "H-how do you know who I am?" Ip man asked surprised. "Were you spying on us?" Alistair and Narcissa growled in unison. King Sombra chuckled evily and starred at them. "Of course I wasn't you foolish children." King Sombra told them "You see Alistair, after your parents nearly defeated me, I fled back to my castle and began to brainstorm another plan on how to conquer your kingdom. And of course I can't just send my guards there again because I would be cretinous if I did that. But then, I used one of my magic spells to detect what your father and mother were doing after their marriage. And I overheard them talking about some intelligent creatures called humans. I then did some research about humans and saw that they were indeed very dominant and vile species from the past considering their wars and technology they have invented." He delineated. Both Alistair and Narcissa gasped in anxiety when they heard about the history of humans. And Ip man held his head down in depression. "I then began to plan a scheme on how I can transfer some humans here. And it is obvious that I couldn't just go to their world and recruit them, because they could just capture me and run tests on me. I then used a spell and detected two humans sparring in a military headquarters. I took a quick observation of the two and saw that they were martial artists. After I have scrutinised their field. I began to conduct a spell and trasported them to my castle. But unfortunately I only had Barton instead of him." Sombra delineated. When Ip man heard this, he began to clench his fists in anger. "So you were the one who kidnapped me." Ip man growled. "Indeed I was sir." Sombra said in a vicious tone. Alistair then stomped his hooves on the floor infuriated. "You vile moron!" Alistair exclaimed "Ip man has gone through lots of hard times in Equestria the two days. And he might not even see his loved ones because of his cancer sickness he received. Your supremacy is all about bigotry, your not even fit enough to be a King." He finished with a growl. All of the ponies and changelings gasped when they heard Alistair's words. Then, Sombra chuckled evily again. "Huh, such strong words from a young hybrid foal." King Sombra commented with a vicious smile. After that, he got off his throne and got into a battle stance preparing to fight. "Now, I will show you what a true King can do little junior." He finished as he activated his horn. Alistair then activated his horn as well and got into a wing chun stance along with Narcissa and Ip man. "Come on grandson! Be brutal! Show him no leniency!" Nightlight and Twilight Velvet exclaimed in the cage in unison. "Dad, mom he won't." Twilight assured them. "Indeed." Thorax said confidently with a proud smile towards his son. "You will pay for delaying my return to my son you tyrant." Ip man growled. "Yeah, and you will also pay for capturing my parents and friends." Narcissa said with an enraged expression. "As well as my parents, aunts, uncle, and many more including my friend Vector." Alistair said in a hazardous tone. Author's Note Another chapter finished! I hope you all enjoyed it! And I'll add some soundtracks for the battle next chapter. //-------------------------------------------------------// Battle for righteous //-------------------------------------------------------// Battle for righteous Alistair, Narcissa and Ip man were all in their wing chun stances and in front of King Sombra who has a brightly glowing horn aimed at the three. None of them made any movements, but, Narcissa was the first to make her move. She flew directly towards King Sombra and attempted to kick him in the face. But, Sombra avoided the attack by teleporting away which made her stop in her tracks. "Where did he go?" Narcissa asked observing her surroundings. "I don't know but keep an eye out. He could be anywhere." Alistair warned. Then, King Sombra appeared behind Narcissa which made Alistair's eyes widen in fear. "Narcissa! Watch out!" Alistair warned her. "Huh?" Narcissa wasn't able to turn around in time when Sombra blasted her in her back. And the force of his blast sent Narcissa flying towards the other side of the throne room and making her crash into a wall which traumatized everyone. "Narcissa! Our little Princess!" Bluehood and Songbird said in unison and in shock. "Narcissa!" Alistair said as he ran up to the fallen Princess to give her an aid. "Narcissa, are you alright?" Alistair asked, but Narcissa was only able to moan in pain. And the view made King Sombra satisfied. "Hahaha! Is that all you can do?" Sombra asked vilely "And I thought that you were going to be the future King of the land. But you can't even defend your special somepony there." He taunted. "Wait what?!" Twilight asked with an enraged expression "What did she do to m-" Twilight was cut off when her mother hit her back. "Twily! You should be happy that your son has found somepony he loves." Velvet told her daughter. Twilight tried to talk back but she had no words to back her up, so she bregrudingly had to sigh in defeat. "And because of your misery and reckless attitude, I will give you an antagonizing death by-" Sombra wasn't able to finish his sentence when Ip man ran up to him And delivered a kick to his chest. And the force of his kick sent King Sombra flying and crashing into his throne breaking it in the process. Sombra shook his head quickly and looked in front of him and saw that it was Ip man who attacked him. "How dare you attack me!?" "You just assaulted two children. And I cannot tolerate it. I will always give someone a repercussion when they attack my friends." Sombra chuckled evil and got up and activated his horn and aimed himself at Ip man. "Let's see what you can do human." Sombra chuckled and Ip man focused on his opponent. https://img.youtube.com/vi/PZ-A6LhdaNc/mqdefault.jpg King Sombra was the first to make his move, he charged up towards Ip man and attempted to punch him in his chest. When Ip man noticed the attack, he blocked his with his hands and kicked Sombra in his chest level which made him grunt in pain and stagger back a little. "Give it up." Ip man told him. "Never!" After Sombra yelled those words, he ran towards Ip man with an incredible speed which caught him off guard. Sombra then attempted to punch him in the chest again and Ip man was barely able to block the attack. He then landed a palm strike to his muzzle which made Sombra stagger backwards again. Ip man then ran up to the dominant unicorn and sent a front kick to his chest and it was a direct hit. And Sombra crashed onto the floor. Ip man then attempted to finish Sombra off with an axe kick to his face. He lifted his right leg up and pushed it down. But then, his leg was paralysed by a dark magic from Sombra. When Sombra saw his opportunity for his counter attack, he kicked Ip man in the chest which made him grunt and take some steps back. And when Sombra detected an opening area on him, he charged towards him again. When Ip man noticed Sombra charging towards him again, he lifted his right leg and attempted to kick him in the chest but his leg was paralysed by his dark magic again. King Sombra then stood up and stabbed him in his chest with his horn. "Ahhhh!" Ip man screamed in agony as he fell on the floor bleeding. Everypony were very shocked and petrified by the scene. "Mister Ip man!" Thorax yelled in feart. "Oh no!" The mane six yelled shocked. Ip man tried to stand up and fight again but Sombra placed his hoof on his back preventing him from getting up. "Hehehe, and they say that you human martial arts very practical in a combat situation. But the truth is, all you humans are very fragile and cretinous." Sombra insulted him "And now I will end you by-" Sombra wasn't able to finish his sentence again when a bright glow charged towards him hastily which caught him off guard. And when the glow collided with Sombra, he was sent skidding back a few feet. Sombra then shook his head and looked in front of him and saw something unique. Prince Alistair was up on his hooves and was glowing a bright golden colour which amazed all of the ponies and changelings in the cage. "Whoa, that's our son's true power combined by ours since his birth." Thorax said. "Indeed." Twilight said with a nod and hugging her husband. "What the?" Sombra said traumatized "How did you-" "It's called the true power of friendship and love King Sombra." Alistair told him "Mainly after my mother gave birth to me and my father teaching me how love can be found everywhere even if you are different." He finished in a logic sense. King Sombra then growled viciously and charged towards the young Prince with his horn glowing in a dark colour. But, his attack turned out to be a very futile and temerarious attempt when Alistair smacked him in his chest which sent him crashing onto the floor which made Sombra grunt in pain. When Alistair saw his opportunity, he flew downwards and attempted to crush Sombra but Sombra avoided the attack by rolling away making Alistair crash into the floor and making a large hole on the floor. When Sombra saw an opening area on Alistair, he activated his horn and fired out a dark beam. Alistair reacted quickly when he saw the magic beam. He quickly charged up his horn and fired a golden magic beam and the gold and dark magic beam have collided in the middle and were fighting. Sombra then put more pressure towards his magic and his beam got closer to Alistair. Alistair wasn't going to back down that easily. He stomped his hooves on the floor and pressured his magic blast, and his beam got more closer to Sombra which petrified him. "This is for my family, friends and subjects!" Alistair yelled. After his words, Alistair's golden magic beam smashed through King Sombra's dark one and collided directly at Sombra's face. And when it did, Sombra let out a pained cry and he slowly perished and then a shockwave was created which shook the entire room, and the force of the shockwave broke the cage imprisoning the ponies and changelings, then it fell on the floor and broke into pieces which made all of the ponies and changelings fall on top of each other. After the instense battle, Alistair's glow slowly disappeared and he was back to normal, then he collapsed onto the floor because of the amount of pressure and energy he used. "Woohoo! Alistair rocks!" Rainbow Dash said. Thorax and Twilight both looked in front of them and saw that their son was lying on the floor breathing slowly. "Son!" Thorax and Twilight said running towards him along with the ponies and changelings as well as his tegu pet. Once they got to him, they began to aid him. "Ali?" Alistair then moaned weakily and looked up and saw his parents. "Hehe, magic and science is awesome." Then, his grandparents Nightlight and Twilight Velvet began to check him with so much anxiety. "Are you okay grandson? Are you hurt? Do you have a fever?" "I'm okay guys." Alistair told them with a chuckle, then his eyes widened and he remembered something "Wait, how is Ip man?" All of the ponies and changelings turned around and saw Narcissa scrutinizing Ip man's wound. Alistair then stood up and ran towards the wounded grandmaster along with his parents, subjects, aunts, grandparents, uncle, big brother Spike and his pet. "Are you okay master Ip man?" Alistair asked. Ip man slowly grunted and looked at the young Prince assuring him with a smile. "I'm alright." Ip man assured him. "Ali, we have to get him to the hospital back in Ponyville." Narcissa told him. "Understood, let's go and-" Alistair wasn't able to finish his sentence when the sound of rumbling and cracking noises were heard. He then observed the throne room and saw that the whole castle was all going to collapse on top of them. "The castle is going to collapse!" Alistair exclaimed, then all of the ponies and changelings began to panic. "Everyone! Get close to me and my husband!" Twilight told them. She then looked at Thorax "Thory, we have to do the spell." "Got it Twily." Thorax said. They then activated their horns and everypony got near the two royals including Ip man. Then after five seconds, all of them were teleported out of the castle just in the nick of time before it all collapsed on them. Author's Note Another chapter finished! This was pretty intense! I hope you all enjoyed it! And also, I do not own the video I am using for this chapter, it belongs to it's original owner. //-------------------------------------------------------// Old memories //-------------------------------------------------------// Old memories A bright glow was seen just outside King Sombra's castle and in the everfree forest. And when the glowing stopped all of the ponies, changelings and many more have been safely teleported out if the collapsing castle in the nick of time. And once the ponies and changelings saw that they were safe and sound, they stood up and began cheering. "We did it." Alistair and Narcissa said as they embraced each other in a hug. "Awwww." Five members of the mane six including Thorax said in unison. Twilight looked at her son and Narcissa for a few seconds, then a warm smile appeared on her muzzle. "I have to admit, those two do look cute together." Twilight said. Thorax chuckled and looked at his wife. "Yep, like the time when you and I were married." Thorax said "And I guess Ip man isn't a vile human after all." Alistair and Narcissa both released each other and turned around and saw Ip man standing up with a smile on his face and while holding his bleeding wound. "I'm so proud of you two." Ip man said. "Thank you master Ip man." They said as they took a bow "Anyways, we have to get back to Ponyville." Alistair counseled. Everypony nodded and began to walk back to Ponyville. Ip man staggered while walking because of his wound, but Thorax succored him by placing his hand on his back and helping him walk and Ip man was truly grateful. "Thank you very much King Thorax." "Your welcome Ip man, and I apologize for being discourteous to you." "It's alright." Ip man said with a smile. After walking uphill and downhill and narrow areas. They have finally made it back to the front entrance of Ponyville. "Ah, we are final back." Celestia said with a warm smile. Then, the ponies and the changelings all rushed into Ponyville and began to play around and laugh along with the mane six, Spike, Vector and the Princesses. Thorax then helped Ip man forward to Ponyville hospital but Ip man told him that he wants him to place him down at the entrance. Thorax was disorientate at the moment, but he granted his wish and placed him down on the floor letting him rest, then Thorax walked up to his wife. https://img.youtube.com/vi/4SMMjOXyYO0/mqdefault.jpg Alistair and Narcissa walked up to Ip man and sat by his side. Both of them scrutinizing his wound, Alistair tried to heal him with his magic but Ip man stopped him by grabbing his horn. "It's no use Alistair." "But-" "It's alright." Ip man said weakily. "Besides, I am seventy-nine years old." He finished between breaths. "Master Ip man, you are the most bravest and astonishing human I have ever met." Alistair and Narcissa said in unison. "I'm not brave, I was just doing what's right by assisting you all and defeating your enemy. And you two are the most wise and greatest student I have ever edified." Ip man told them with a chuckle which made Alistair and Narcissa smile. "And remember, although you two are very young compared to that adult, but you are all very strong with your magic, friendship and my martial art. And with or without me." When Alistair and Narcissa said those words, they began to shed some tears. Ip man then looked in front of him and saw all of the ponies and changelings playing happily along with some young ones, and all of their exertions reminds him of the time with his martial art friends, students, as well as his son and wife. He then closed his eyes and slowly began to fall on the grass. "Master Ip man?" Alistair and Narcissa asked, but they didn't get a response from him. Then, Ip man fell on the grass unconscious. Alistair scrutinized him by checking his heart rate and saw that it was not pumping, he must assume that he has past away from his cancer sickness or killed by the bleeding wound. Then both Alistair and Narcissa began to shed some tears. When the ponies and the changelings heard the sounds of sobbing from Prince Alistair and Princess Narcissa Serenata, they turned around to see what was wrong, and the view traumatized all of them. Because in front of them was Ip man lying on the grass not showing any signs of breathing. Thorax and Twilight both walked up to the fallen grandmaster and began to scrutinize him and saw that he was killed. Then all of them began to shed some tears and cry because, he just saved all of them from King Sombra and he did not deserve to be killed. On December 2nd 1972, the grandmaster, Ip man died of head and neck cancer at the age of 79. https://img.youtube.com/vi/GmTpEF1avM0/mqdefault.jpg Author's Note Well, there we have it all you readers. My new story has officially came to a conclusion, and to be honest, I nearly cried when I wrote the ending. And I used the last line from the last scene of the movie Ip man 4, and the whole Ip man movie franchise was very narly and phenomenal. Donnie Yen is the best Chinese actor ever! And also, I do not own the two videos I am using for this chapter, they belong to their rightful owners. Ip man 1, 2, 3 and 4 directed by YIP WAI SHUN. Action director of Ip man 4: YUEN WO PING Ip man starred by Donnie Yen. Original music by KENJI KAWAI //-------------------------------------------------------// Breakfast //-------------------------------------------------------// Breakfast The next day The sun has risen near the changeling kingdom, and Alistair was the first to wake up. He sat up and yawned and rubbed his eyes. After that, he got off his bed and went to his bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. After he has finished those, he exited his bedroom and ran to his parents bedroom. Once Alistair has made it to his parents room, he squeezed through their door and entered. After that, he climbed onto their bed and climbed on his father's head. "Dad dad dad, it's time for my meeting with my pony and changeling subjects in Canterlot today." Alistair said, but his father didn't replied to him, he was still sleeping while hugging his mother. Alistair then tried to wake him up again. "Dad." Alistair said as he pulled his father's ear but he still didn't respond. "Your son's awake." Twilight whispered to her husband. Thorax sighed and said "By sunrise, he's your son as well." "Daaaaaaaaad!" Alistair said loosing his patients "I want to see my subjects! Wake up!" He finished as he nudged his father. "Alright alright kiddo." Thorax chuckled "I'm awake." He finished as he sat up along with his wife. "About time." Alistair said with a roll of his eyes. Thorax and Twilight then got off their bed and entered their bathroom together. And Alistair could hear some smoothching noises even outside which gave him an indignant expression. After one minute, his parents exited their bathroom and walked up to their son. "Let's have some breakfast first." Twilight said. "Okay." Alistair said with a nod, he then jumped off his parents bed and followed them to the large dinning room. And when they were walking in the hallway, Alistair saw his tegu lizard pet. He walked up to him and gentle patted his head. "Hello there Vector." Alistair said with a smile. "Here's your breakfast." He finished as he pulled out small bits of lizard food and placed it on the floor near him, and he began munching on it. "I'll be eating my breakfast as well my friend, and after that, I will bring you along to greet our pony and changeling subjects." Alistair said with a smile. After that, he resumed to follow his parents to the dinning room. Ip man has just woke up from his sleep in the guest room, he sat up straight and stretched his arm with a grateful yawn. "老兄, 那真是个好睡眠, 这张床很舒服. (Man, that was a nice sleep, this bed is very comfortable.)" Ip man said with a smile. He then got off his bed and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. After he has completed those, he exited his room and went to find Thorax, Twilight, Alistair, the seven ponies and the dragon he met yesterday in the meeting room. While he was walking down the large hallway, he encountered some armoured changelings which he assumed was guards considering their primitive weapons. He then walked up to one of them. "Um, excuse me sir?" Ip man called him, then the guard turned around and looked at him. "What do you want human?" "Do you know where the king is?" "He is at the dinning room along with the Queen, Prince, and friends." The guard said pointing at the dinning room. "Thank you very much." Ip man said as he bowed. After that, he walked to the dinning room. Once he got to the dinning room front doors, he rolled up his sleeves and slowly pushed the two doors open. After he has done that, he saw the seven ponies, the king, Queen Twilight and Prince Alistair in the dinning room area with a salad bowl in front of them. Alistair waved at Ip man with his right hoof, but then he received a look from his father. He then placed his hoof back on the table and began to eat his salad breakfast. "Good morning Ip man!" Said Pinkie with a huge smile. "Good morning everyone." Ip man said taking a bow. He then grabbed an empty seat and ate his salad breakfast. Thorax was starring at Ip man with a perplex and angry expression. "I thought you humans like to eat meat." Said Thorax. "Thory." Twilight said patting his right hoof. Ip man looked at Thorax and said "Well, some of us do like to eat meat but, I'm more of a vegan sometimes." "Sometimes?" Thorax asked raising an eyebrow. "Thorax, let's just eat our breakfast." Twilight said soothing her husband with a gentle nuzzle. "Okay Twily." Thorax said nuzzling back, after that, he scooped his salad with a spoon and munched on it. Ip man did the same as well and munched on his, and he smiled in satisfaction. "哇沙拉好吃 (Wow, the salad is delicious.)" Ip man thought with a smile. When Thorax saw Ip man's smile, he thought that he must be faking it. He then sent him a dangerous glare. When Ip man noticed the glare he received from the king, he must thought that he doesn't wants him here. "Um... I don't think I want to eat anymore." Ip man said as he stood up from his seat, he then turned around and began to exit the dinning room. Alistair felt bad for Ip man, he didn't get to finish his breakfast because of his father's hate. He looked around the dinning room for a while and saw that his parents, aunts and big brother were busy eating their sandwich which gave him a good opportunity to give Ip man a food. He then pulled up the long white coloured table mat and began to carefully open up his chocolate chips cookie he sneakily brought with him, he then cautiously lifted the lid up with his magic and grabbed three cookies. After that, he closed the lid and sneaked past his parents and walked to Ip man. "Psst, mister Ip man." Alistair called. When Ip man heard the voice he turned around ad looked down and saw Alistair. "Hello Alistair, what do you need?" Ip man asked with a smile. Alistair replied by lifting up the three chocolate chip cookies at it placed it near his face. "Please accept my generous offer mister Ip man." Alistair said with a smile. Ip man smiled and grabbed the cookies. "Thank you very much Alistair." Ip man said, after that, he exited the dinning room. Alistair smiled when he gave Ip man his snack. But then, his father talked. "Alright everypony, can you all go out for a second? I have something to do." Thorax told them. "Okay Thorax." All of them replied with a nod, but Twilight had a perplexed expression. Then they all exited the dinning room leaving their half eaten salad behind. Alistair was going to leave as well but his father called him. "Alistair." Thorax called him "Your staying here." He told him. "Oh... um... okay." Thorax then got off his seat and walked up to his son with an anger and disorientate mixed expression which made Alistair anxious. "Alistair, why did you gave the human your cookies?" Thorax asked as he dropped his cookie jar on the floor which surprised him. "Um..." "Don't think that I didn't see you bring it here while we were walking." Alistair was too nervous to say something out of his mouth. "Now, I'll ask you one more time, why did you gave the human your cookies?" He asked with a confused and anger mixed expression. Alistair gulped nervously and said "Well, I just felt bad for him because you gave him an angry glare and made him exit our dinning room without fully eating his breakfast we offered, so I gave him my cookies." Thorax then stomped on the floor in anger which made his son flinch. "HOW DARE YOU BE SO NICE TO THAT HUMAN!?" Thorax yelled in anger "I TOLD YOU HUNDREDS OF TIMES THAT HUMANS ARE VERY DOMINANT AND VILE SPECIES! AND YOU SHOWED HIM COMPASSION!? YOU ARE SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT TO ME!!!" Thorax scolded him. When Alistair heard his father's words, tears began to form in his eyes and he began to sob, then he lied on his back and began to cry. "Waaaaaaaa! I just wanted to know the human a bit more dad! He seems very nice!" Alistair cried. Thorax have just noticed that he has pushed it too far with his son, he then bent down and tried to comfort him but the dinning room doors opened again. He looked up and saw Twilight. When Twilight saw her son crying, she immediately ran up to him. "Alistair!" Twilight said as she lifted her son up and began to comfort him. Twilight must've assumed that it was her husband that caused her son to cry considering the yelling and scolding she heard from outside. She then looked at her husband with an expression of anger. "What did you do?!" "Look Twily." Thorax tried to confront her "I-I'm so sorry, I just-" Thorax wasn't able to finish his sentence when his wife gave him a huge slap across his face which gave him a red mark on his left cheek. "Ouch." Thorax said quietly while placing his left hoof on his stinging left cheek. "You have gone out of the line this time Thorax!" Twilight scolded him "You were wrong when you scolded our son because he wanted to be friends with the human, and Ip man is a very nice one! And it seems like you need some time to think everything through, so today you'll be sleeping on the couch after our meeting with our subjects, and if you try to enter or walk to our bedroom, I will blast you back until you fall back on the couch! Understood?!" She asked with an enraged expression. Thorax sighed bregrudingly and had to accept his punishment for being out of line and scolding his son in a precarious and mean manner. "Yes Twily." Thorax said while looking down on the floor in sadness. After that, Twilight turned around and began to bring her son to the changing room to suit him up with his Royal suit and crown. "Come on my baby, I'll give you a nice fashion work along with your aunt Rarity before our meeting with our subjects okay?" Twilight asked. Alistair sobbed and said "Okay." "That's my son." Twilight said while nuzzling her son. Author's Note Another chapter finished! I hope you all enjoyed it!
