Son of a Shadow

"Let's continue," Jackson spoke to continue walking toward the throne room.

Inside this was a round table and in it were the Mane Six, the princesses and Shining Armor.

"I think he escaped." It was what Pinkie Pie pronounced at the long time.

"Normal, after seeing what we did to his father anyone would run away ... Except me" I continue Rainbow Dash and do not miss the opportunity to get his narcissism afloat.

"Remember how I leave you, it seemed like he broke your leg with a few simple movements," Applejack said, mocking her friend slightly.

"I'm sure I wouldn't resist that," Fluttershy whispered, through the silence in the room made it perfectly audible.

"I do not blame you. But, to think that a pony like him could be on the bad side, ”Rarity said as she let out a disapproving sigh.

“But why did he help us in the library?” Twilight wondered, remembering what had happened hours before.

"That's the" This time the one I talked about was Princess Celestia "Although she served our enemy, he can't help helping everyone, according to what the locals told us, in the past he helped everyone, and even sometimes he proposes to his father to punish him instead of an inhabitant. Obviously he received the same punishment or sometimes worse than the one he had received the pony. He finished speaking while a smile was drawn on his face.

"Well, it could have been more gentle, that kick still hurts," Spike said as he rubbed his back.

They were about to laugh but were interrupted by the sound of the door. When they turned to see they saw the alicorn accompanied by four of his soldiers.

"Sorry for the delay, as soon as I regained consciousness," Jackson spoke as he searched for a place at the table, after finding him he sat in that space and awaited an answer.

"I thought you would escape," Rainbow spoke to the alicorn.

"I'm sorry but you won't have the honor," he said as he gave her a slight smile.

"Well Jackson ... Given that it is in good condition, I will ask you several questions and I hope you answer them ... Obviously once we finish you can give yours." Do you think it's fair? - I finish talking about the sun princess.

"Ask what you want, I will answer what is in my knowledge" I speak the alicorn while it was placed in a more comfortable position.

"What are those strange skills that I use on snowy meadows?" Twilight asked.

"I think that's pretty obvious," Jackson said to Twilight's question.

"I will rebuild it." How do you do them? - Twilight asked again.

"With magic" The answer was short but true, although Pinkie Pie couldn't help but giggle.

"... I mean what is the procedure to do it?" He asked the mare again, hoping not to receive another stupid answer.

"Easy, I think I will get the victory with that attack and I do it, if you want to know how they are done tell me and I teach you one or two spells" I finish answering as I continued with a smile.

"It's not what I expected ... Before, when the crystal heart was gathering energy, you cast a spell but I couldn't see what I was doing, could you explain to me?" The purple unicorn asked again.

"In short, I would have finished the entire Crystal Empire and who knows, maybe I would have damaged Canterlot a bit," he replied simply.

"I have one, those Special Shadow Tactics Operation, why did you create them?" This time the one who asked was Shining.

"We needed a group of operations against possible rebellions, hence the SSTOs," Jackson answered the question.

"I have another one, in the library, why did you help us?" Twilight asked.

"It's something that I wonder myself," the alicorn replied as he looked at the ground.

"I have many, do you like cake? You like parties? What is your favorite flavor? mine is the chocolate one" I quickly ask the party pony as he approached Jackson.

"I don't like cake much less at parties and my favorite flavor is coconut," the alicorn replied the same or faster than the party planner.

"..." You couldn't hear anything in the room.

"Since nobody has any questions, you can start your Jackson round." I speak the monarch of Equestria before the silence.

"I'll do them in writing ... Now I have to rest, I'm sure I'll have to help do one thousand things tomorrow," Jackson said as he stood up and headed to his room.

"Where are you going?" Asked Princess Cadence.

"To my room of course, or will they take me out of my own room?" The alicorn asked as he looked seriously.

"No, continue to rest," Princess Celestia replied as she gave him a smile,

Jackson just continued on his way to the room being escorted by his soldiers.

"Do you think he forgot your proposal?" Luna asked her sister.

"Obviously he remembers the proposal this one, but he doesn't want to answer it" The sun princess replied to her sister.

"Excuse me, but what proposal?" Shining asked at the conversation of the unicorns.

"A proposal we made during our confrontation against him," replied the goddess of the night.

"So, you faced him? If I may know, what was that proposal?" Shining asked again and apparently everyone had the same question.

"Yes, we have met twice, during the first Empire of the Sombra King, this command to Jackson to kill us ... For obvious reasons he did not fulfill his objective but his attack had a great impact," Celestia replied with a sad face.

"What impact? The books don't mention anything about an assassination attempt against you." Twilight spoke as she put on a pensive face.

"Dozens of guards were killed that night," Luna replied quickly with great regret in her voice.

" On the other hand, the proposal we made was to join us and the Kingdom of Equestria through a test " Continuous Celestia.

"Do you think I accept?" Twilight asked.

" Seeing how he has behaved so far, there are high possibilities ... Well, for the moment they sleep, tomorrow will surely be a complicated day " I speak the solar matriarch while standing and directing in search of a room to sleep.

Everyone else did the same, although a certain unicorn kept asking questions.

It was already morning everyone was awake and having breakfast, only Jackson was missing since yesterday he had not been seen.

"You think Jackson shows up," Twilight asked as she put a mouthful of spinach in her mouth.

"I'm sure if, just to be doing a few things, it will come" I speak the solar matriarch while eating the same Twilight, that is, they all ate the same.

"Sorry for the delay, I was doing some things." I speak as the only male alicorn of Equestria enters.

"You can know what those things were," Shining asked with intrigue.

"Accounting for available resources and seeing weapons," Jackson replied simply to sit in the only place available.

"But that's not your job," Cadence spoke as he drank some water.

"My father was the king of the empire and I was his son, I mean the prince of the kingdom and now that my father is not there, that makes me the king." It makes sense if you think about it a bit. ”He answered while his horn shone and a plate with spinach appeared in front of him.

"But I doubt they accept you as a leader," Cadence commented as he watched.

"Me too, but I'll try," Jackson replied as he took a bite of spinach to his mouth.

"Jackson ... I hope you thought about the proposal with your revelation," Luna said as she looked at Fidow expectantly.

At this Jackson stopped his breakfast and stared at the table for a few seconds.

"But they never told me about those tests," Jackson replied as he continued his meal.

"You accept. yes or no? "Asked the ruler of the night as she stared at Jackson.

"But something I don't understand, what would I change if I supported Equestria?" Jackson asked as he looked back at Luna.

"The real question would be, what wouldn't it change? Your knowledge of magic seems to be advanced and I'm sure those SSTOs are excellent soldiers," Twilight interrupted as she put her front helmets on the table.

"Apart from the fact that during our second fight you said that if your projects were completed you will have a much better chance of winning us."

"Those were bluffs, you know the typical words of the villain about his infinite power so that in the end he ended up being defeated by the magic of love and friendship." The latter said it in a sarcastic tone. Although the Mane Six looked at him angrily at the comment. "Do they really defend themselves with that?" Jackson asked in a confused voice to what the girls nodded. "If I had known that, I erase the memory of some ponies so they think they are best friends." and ready. Friendship Tactical Forces, the new squad capable of repelling the same gods" Jackson continued as he laughed.

"Leaving that aside ... Do you accept the evidence?" Celestia asked.

"Seeing you won't stop. Yes, I accept them" When Jackson finished speaking a smile appeared in the princesses of the sun and the moon "Miss Jessie prepare the armament" He said to nothing so that after a second a pony appeared beside him.

"Understood, sir." I speak the mare as it exits through one of the doors.

"What was that?" Twilight asked at the sudden appearance of a mare. "Apart was a land pony, it's impossible to do that." The purple unicorn continued talking as he approached Jackson.

"Technology, do you like it?" Fidow replied to the mare. "Everything is not magic, and if you want to know a little more, that was optical camouflage, one of my greatest creations" He replied while drying a fake tear from his face.

-A? Are there others? - Twilight asked as she brought her face closer to Jackson's.

"Well there are others, there is the magic rifle, the war suit and I am working on a super armament project that will revolutionize the military world" I speak Jackos and with every word Twilight became more excited.

"What is it? What is it? " Twilight asked as a filly waiting for her birthday present.

"The Madexa, imagine a float capable of repelling both magic and physical attacks with utmost ease, and not only that but also incorporates a system of magical attack that will leave enemies unconscious of a gust," Jackson continued boasting while Twilight I imagined every single thing he said.

"What else?" He asked again with a big smile.

"Listen to this, if my research is correct, the material known as Graphene will help land ponies." Jackson paused a little to increase Twilight's excitement. "It will make land ponies fly over the heavens and even with a teacher who knows. controlling the machine could fly faster than a common pegasus" He said that last with a big smile on his face.

Given the new information, everyone was stunned, including the princesses. Magic rifles, an anti-all float and a machine that will allow anyone to fly and even overcome the speed of a pegasus, had the hot air balloon but that in dreams did not reach the speed of a pegasus and much less overcome it.

"Could you show me those projects?.Please? " Twilight said as she gave her puppy eyes that not even the greatest murderer of all time could avoid softening her heart and giving in to the request.

"Follow me." It was what Fidow said to start walking but he stopped abruptly.

Obviously everyone followed him. During the journey you could hear the occasional murmur until they finally arrived.

They were in front of a large door, Jackson just approached and knocked on the door making a melody, after a few seconds someone would open.

"Hello Master Jackson, are you coming to supervise the projects?" Asked an alicorn in the same military uniform as the others, only that it was stained with black ink.

The alicorn nodded and the unicorn moved aside letting everyone in. When they entered and everyone except Jackson, they were surprised, they could see hundreds of planes from swords to other fish-like things, everyone was surprised.

"Say hello to Prince Jackson!" The unicorn shouted before, at that all shouted with great joy.

"Prince Jackson, we can confirm that in a matter of hours we will have your Madexa ready, we also received a request from your squad to prepare your equipment, you can find it in the weapon room," said a pony in a white coat while giving a folder to Fidow

"Thank you, can you give the group a guide to the projects?" The alicorn asked as he pointed behind him.

"No problem, sir," the pony replied as he gestured for them to follow him, something they all did while Jackson made his way to that area of weapons.

This is how the tour of the group began, each thing was better than the previous team that allows you to approach a volcano without any danger, another to be able to breathe underwater but that was nothing when I had to see Madexa.

Everyone was speechless, even though they already had an idea this certainly surprised them, the size exceeded celestial and even for a few centimeters it could be twice the size of the mare, in width they could easily be ten ponies, although they could see in some places that parts were missing.

"Is this the Madexa?" Celestia asked as she watched the great carriage.

"Affirmative, the chief investigated materials that could replace gold armor, because its manufacture was becoming more expensive, but what he found was tungsten, a material of great hardness and with a strange magical characteristics capable of repelling great part of the spells and the few that do not repel them easily resist them, the dream of any soldier" He finished speaking to dry a small tear that escaped his eye.

“Could we test your hardness?” Twilight asked as she watched the huge float, a large tube protruding from its top (basically like any tank).

"Sure, I'm sure Jackson didn't bother with a less tungsten shield." The pony answered before. "Follow me, there are some tungsten plates." The pony continued as he walked toward a free zone.

The group followed him as they watched anything they could see, really anything was spectacular.

"Well, does anyone help me take a plaque to a clear place?"I ask while dragging a large metal plate.

"I—" Rainbow Dash offered to later try to load the plate alone to fail. "It's too heavy."

"Shining, let's help her," Applejack said as she approached the big board.

That's how thanks to four ponies they took the huge tungsten plate to a place away from the laboratory.

"Well, it's all yours." I speak the same pony as before while walking away from the board.

"I don't think it will resist more than five strokes." Rainbow said as she flew away just to return with a powerful kick that obviously didn't cause any scratch to the plate, on the other hand. "My leg!" I shout as he grabs one of his hind legs.

"That's not a very good idea-" I pronounce the pony that had accompanied them here "Let me heal you" I continue while I took out a small red box and from this several injections and bandages.

He proceeded to anesthetize her to see the wound more, apparently only her leg was dislocated, with a fast and precise movement she put it back in place, obviously with a cry from Rainbow Dash for the pain, she proceeded to bandage her leg firmly to avoid sudden movements .

"Now you should avoid making strong movements and you'll be fine by tomorrow." I speak the pony while I finished putting on the bandage.

"I think it's time to use magic," Twilight spoke as she carried a powerful spell towards the plate, which, to everyone's surprise, was only a small dent. "But how?" The unicorn wondered as he stared at the Tungsten. .

"It's something I wonder too." I speak a voice known to everyone, that's Jackson, only this time he was wearing a suit that covered a large part of his body and neck but on his head was only glasses like the ones Pinkie wore. Foot in his spy "missions", on his neck was a sheathed knife and on his back was a long tube (basically imagine a spy suit but for ponies, or look for Shimmer cell mlp and stick with the image) "Al It seems that being 'eating' other subjects caused him to develop some magical resistance" the alicorn continued as he approached the group.

"Eating? What do you mean?" Twilight asked as she changed her view to the tungsten plate.

"Basically it corroded other minerals and fuses them with itself, maybe one of those is quartz, but I have no idea," Jackson replied as he glanced at the group. "What happened to Rainbow?" I ask as I look at the leg of the aforementioned

"I try to break the tungsten plate with kicks," answered the pony who had accompanied them during their little trip.

"It really is not a good idea, this mineral can withstand great damage and even as I mentioned corrodes others and fuses them with itself increasing its hardness and if you are lucky you will consume some stone with magical ability" I speak Fidow while approaching Rainbow. lets I pronounce with his magic to grab the injured leg and glue his horn to it, instantly his horn and the leg glowed in teal and after a few seconds Jackson left Rainbow's leg and moved away from it.

"That was weird ... but it worked!" Rainbow shouted at the disappearance of the pain. "But I feel more tired." I continue as I blinked a few times.

"What did you do?" Twilight asked as she approached Jackson.

"Speed up your recovery, obviously that will take away some of your energy but as soon as you eat it will make you dizzy," Fidow replied as he looked back at the apprentice.

"I will definitely need those classes," Twilight whispered.

"A question, why the suit?" Applejack asked at the weird dress of the alicorn.

"Yes, why the suit? He said, it is not for offending your tastes but it is horrible" I speak Rarity while watching the suit (I am repeating a lot of suit, any other words?).

"This suit is special, it has a mixture of fabrics that give a lot of hardness and at the same time flexibility, and the boots are made of a variation of the rubber reducing the sound of the footsteps, so obviously more stealth" I finish talking while watching Likewise.

"Well," Rarity said as she looked away.

"If you know the test will be in a dream?" Asked the princess of the night as she watched Jackson.

“What?” Fidow said as he watched Princess Luna.

"Obviously it will be in a dream, it will be much easier than sending you to a forest and watching you" Princess Luna continued as she watched an incredulous Fidow. "But if you want, I will put your suit to sleep," said the princess, waiting for the response of the alicorn.

"Sure, what time will the test be?" Jackson asked as he watched the princesses.

"Right now," Princess Celestia said to teleport everyone to the balcony of the glass castle where to everyone's surprise except the princesses, there was a large crowd of ponies waiting news about the summoning of the princess " Inhabitants of Equestria, they will wonder why I gathered them together. Today we will test Jackson Fidow, son of King Sombra. We will check if it has the properties of being an inhabitant of Equestria" I speak the heavenly pony.

"Did he tell all of Equestria?" Jackson asked Twilight.

"She has a spell to project an image in multiple places, as if it were a painting," the purple pony replied as she turned to see him. "Possibly all the cities and towns of Equestria are looking at us." The unicorn continues as he looks at the great multitude of ponies

"All Equestria is watching us! I need to fix myself," the dressmaker shouted as she tried to get ready.

"I don't think they pay you much attention. Mainly because the novelty is Jackson, he'll be the protagonist in the papers tomorrow." I speak the farm mare ruining the hopes of the white pony.

"Sister, introduce Jackson to the test," Celestia said to her younger sister.

The aforementioned nodded and approached the male alicorn, crossed its horn with Jackson's and both were covered by a dark blue aura.

"So quick." He tried to speak the alicorn, but he was introduced to the world of dreams, falling to the floor and immediately being taken care of by the SSTO.

"And what are the tests like?" Twilight asked her tutor.

"They are the same as you did in the Everfree forest," replied the princess.

Now in the big screens that appeared in all the cities and towns of Equestria you could see the alicorn in a dark forest.

And until here the chapter, before they are going to do something else I want to apologize, originally this chapter would be published on Monday but I went to a game (Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater in case you ask) and I spent time.

Another thing, I imagine that they have noticed but several times I put parentheses, this I will use to clarify something such as a song used (which will be few) or to search for some clothes on Google such as Shimmer cell mlp, which It would be Jackson's spy suit and the SSTO.

I also want to clarify that I do not remember very well about what tungsten was doing but what I said in this was something similar, although I know that the material of the tank is not tungsten but a cover on another metal (I think).

Now yes, with nothing to say or clarify. Until next time.
