Hours later in his dreams, he was in a bleak dark place. Once he looked around he yelled out for someone, anyone… but only deafening silence greeted him back. He then got himself up and started to explore his surroundings although the only thing he could see was darkness. That's when a bright light from behind him shined brightly as he turned and ran into the light. He then awoke in an awkward position. He was in Gilda’s bosom. Worst of all, Twilight was at the front of the doorway heavily blushing.

“Can’t a guy and his mate get some privacy?” He said as he stuck out his face. She throws a box on a nearby table making Gilda groan. He sat himself up and rubbed his eyes. He then approaches the box with a note left by Twilight.

Dear Emerl,

I found this package on the doorstep and wondered if you knew what it was. But since you are doing some stuff to Gilda, I just left it here and it also seems to be locked with some kind of handprint similar to yours.

PS: I’ll kick you out if you are having sex up there.

Your friend, Twilight.

“Heh Twi you have a wild imagination.” He said as he put down the note and examined the box. He looked under it to find a nocturnus clan symbol. Now he intends to tell them all about the nocturnus clan, but he wants to tell them when the time is right. So he then puts his hand on the handprint and heard steam execute from the cracks of the box and that all too familiar jingle. He was interrupted by Gilda yawning.

“Mmm… morning…” She said as her eyes wandered to the box. Eric then opens it with a gasp and he then motions her over. She walks over to him rubbing her eyes. She was blinded by some light. Then once they dimmed down, they saw some familiar emeralds. They came in seven different colors, yellow, pink, cyan, blue, green, red and white.

“What are these?” She asked.

“I’ll talk about these downstairs…” He said while he opened the door.

Twilight was just done cooking breakfast as Eric and Gilda came downstairs with the box now open and him looking very serious.

“What's wrong? And what are those?” He sighed and cleared his throat.

“These are chaos emeralds. They are seven ancient emeralds and mystical relics tied to the Master Emerald that possess powerful properties and abilities. Those that hold the Chaos Emeralds can use their powers for a variety of things, such as initiating a super transformation, powering machines, and warping time and space. Anyone who combines all seven Chaos Emeralds can control ultimate power.” Twilight looked at them closely.

“Umm they just look like normal emeralds to me.” She said as he then put all seven in a circle and stepped in the middle of them. He then closed his eyes and started to grunt. As the emeralds on the ground started to float much to Twilight and Gilda’s surprise.

“HRRRRRAGH!” The emeralds were absorbed by him and his appearance change too. His hair was golden, his one orange lock of hair was replaced with a curved yellow horn with points sticking out from the sides and a red eye in the center on his forehead. his forearms and "boots" were now gold. His eyes were red and he had some sort of symbol on two of his armor around his forearms and “boots”. fin-like blue kneecaps, fin-like blue objects on his forearms. And last but not least, a big mustard orange lab coat. He also grew as tall as Celestia!

“Huh… looks like your wrong about them being normal.” He said before he picked up Gilda bridal style which let out an ‘Eep!’.

“U-um. Care to tell me more about them please?” Twilight said while she grabbed a paper and quill.

“Well, described as holding enough power to let their possessor control the whole world, each Chaos Emerald is said to possess mystical properties and contain unlimited amounts of highly potent and powerful chaos energy that is said to give life to all things. Even alone, their power is unmatched by pretty much anything else in the universe. just one Emerald can grant access to unlimited power.” Twilight was writing all the info about them until she paused.

“Wait, you aren’t going to take over the world are you?” She said as he shook his head in which she sighed.

“It is often said that those whom combine all seven Chaos Emeralds will gain ultimate power and unlimited energy. Accordingly, those who knows how to use them can do just about anything with their power. The power of each Chaos Emerald is described as being able to “transform thoughts into power” by "sensing" people's thoughts, the Chaos Emeralds can generate the chaos energy they contain which make them everlasting sources of energy. Oppositely, the Emeralds can absorb the chaos energy exposed to them.” He said as he plants a kiss on Gilda’s head and in return whispered something in his ear in result he blushed. He then closed his eyes and with a bright light, dispersed the chaos emeralds.

“Mmm morning everyone— What just happened? And who are they?” One groggy voice said from upstairs. Eric turns around to see a purple dragon as he just waved at her.

“Morning Barb breakfast is ready and the one in all yellow is Emerl. And the griffon is Gilda.” Twilight said as Eric then focused his attention to Twilight.

“Oh yeah Twi, me and Gilda were not having sex. I just happened to wake up in a unpredictable spot.” Eric said while Twilight froze up and turned red as a tomato. But in the corner of his eye, Barb was holding the red chaos emerald. Immediately thinking, he snatched the powerful gem from her hand.

“Hey what gives?!” Barb asked as he then explained what they are. After explaining, he and Gilda sat down and ate breakfast. He ate some salad while Gilda picked at her food.

“Oh yeah Twilight, what’s up with these two?” Barb asked.

“Oh yeah! Gilda lost to Emerl in a fight, so now there mates.” Barb looked at the two as Eric blushed heavily.

“But he looks so… umm sorry if I offend you, weak.” Eric nods as he cleared his throat.

“So… I’m a weapon of mass destruction. Aka: The God Of Wrath.” He said casually as Gilda looked at him with a shocked expression and so did Barb. In the middle of eating, Barb belched out a letter much to Eric’s surprise.

“Umm… The hell did I just witness?” Eric just asked. Barb hands the letter to Twilight. He was done eating so he just walked out the library with the chaos emeralds along with Gilda following behind him. Walking along the town when for some reason, it instantly rained.

“Ok the hell?”

“Who did that?!” Gilda shouted as he flew up into the clouds to see none other than Rainbow Dash.

"Hey! Why are you making it rain!?" She turned to the Gizoid.

"To prevent YOU or any pony else from getting that ticket!" She shouted.

“A what now?” He tilts his head. A ticket? The box in his hands are more valuable than a ticket so in the very least, he was confused.

"Uh, to the Grand Galloping Gala! The most awesome place for the Wonderbolts?" She asked.

“Uhh… the only thing I’m worried about is this box.” He said patting the box.

“What’s in there?” She asked as he then put his hand on the handprint on the box. When it opened, it revealed the seven chaos emeralds.

“What are these? They just look like normal jewels.” She said.

“These my friend, are chaos emeralds.” He said as him and her talked for a little.

“I gotta go! See you later Emerl!” She then flew off. He then landed to an impatient griffon.

“What went on up there?” She growled as he put up his hands defensively.

“Nothing bad! Just RD talking about some tickets and I showed her the chaos emeralds and talked a bit.” She let out a sigh in relief. They continued walking until someone surprised hugged him from behind. It was none other than the pink terror herself: Pinkie Pie.

“Hiya Emerl!” She greeted him.

“Jeebus don’t scare me like that! But what’s happening?”

"Oh, Twilight has a ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala plus one! Everypony's trying to get Twilight to give that plus one ticket!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Uh... Alright... I still don't know what this Gala is..." He said as he rubbed his neck. She then gasped.

"YOU don't know the Grand Galloping Gala!? Let me show you!" Pinkie Pie said.

Then, the three were somehow in some random occurrence.

"H-How did we get here?" Eric asked.

The background was full of flying giant confetti and balloons.

Pinkie Pie sang a long song about how partying at the Grand Galloping Gala would be fun. It was filled with rainbows and dancing and whatnot. Then, they appeared back in Ponyville, and at Sugarcube Corner.

"Uh... How did we-" "Don't ask, silly! Auntie Pinkie has her tricks!" She interrupted.

“Ooookay… welp I gotta go now.” He said as he then walked off.

“What's in the box?” Pinkie asked.

“Two words: Chaos Emeralds.” He said as he walked off with Gilda.

Two hours later…

Alot of ponies that flirted with him were immediately given the death stare by Gilda in which he thanked her for in return, she gave him a kiss on the cheek. So they were on their way back to Twilight’s library to see and oddity: A crowd. And they seemed to be searching for something.

‘I hope they aren’t searching for these…’ He thought to himself as he approached the door and knocked on it.

“No go away!” Barb yelled.

“Umm Barb… it’s me and Gilda.” Eric said as him and Gilda exchanged looks.

“Umm maybe let Emerl and Gilda in?” Twilight said.

The door swung open nearly hitting his face in the process.

“Come in hurry!” Barb said as Eric and Gilda ran inside. Now Eric wanted answers and fast. Did Twilight tell ponies about the Chaos Emeralds? Or were they after the ticket he known little about.

“Alright Twi, did you tell them about this box?” He said while he was tapping his foot.

"What? No! Everypony somehow found out I have an extra ticket to the Grand Galloping Gala and everypony trying to- Wait, you want that ticket too, don't you!?" Twilight asked.

“Twilight, what I have in my hands is more valuable than a damn ticket.” He said as she nodded.

"O-Oh... Pardon me. Barb, lock the doors and windows!" Twilight said. Barb and Twilight closed every window, and turned every light off. He then heard some faint noises in which looked around.

“Ok whoever is there come out. I already know you are here.” He said as Gilda got into a fighting position. The lights flashed on again. The rest of the Mane 6 were there at Twilight's window.

“Not totally creepy…” he said sarcastically. He then heard Twilight scream which scared both him and Gilda.

“Umm you alright?” They both said in unison.

"I can't decide, you're all too important to me and doing favors and giving me gifts isn't helping at all! I want to make each one of you happy, and I just can't! UUUUGGGGHHH!" She groaned.

“Deep breaths…” He said in a soothing tone as he gave a look of disappointment at the five mares. They felt bad and they climbed in.

"Twilight, I didn't mean to put so much pressure on you. You can give the ticket to somepony else, I wouldn't care at all." Applejack said.

"Me too... I feel so awful that I made you feel so awful about it." Fluttershy said.

"Me too! It's no fun to upset your friends!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Twilight, it was not fair of me to do such nice things for my own personal gain. Please forgive me." Rarity said.

"Yes! I got the ticket!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

Everyone looked at Rainbow Dash as she was boasting about getting the ticket.

“Really dash?” Gilda said unamused. Eric looked unamused and shook his head at her.

Rainbow Dash realized what she was doing. "Uh... I haven't been practicing for the Wonderbolts for a while. I don't want to go yet, I guess." She said.

Then everyone except Twilight and Barb were staring at Gilda and Eric. Confused by the now directed attention to him, he looks back and forth.

“Uhh… what?”

"Don't you two have something to say?" Rarity asked.

“Nope I got nothing…” Eric shrugs.

“Me neither.” Gilda responded.

“The Ticket!” Rainbow responded back.

"Oh, Rainbow Dash, they never asked me for the ticket." Twilight said.

"What!?" Five of the Mane six asked.

"Oh my, I’m deeply sorry." Rarity said.

“It’s alright but there is something that I have been keeping on me.” Eric said as he then pulled out the box and unlocked it revealing the seven chaos emeralds. The mane six all looked at the jewels in amazement. They then glowed much to everyone's shock.

“What in tarnation are these things?” Applejack asked. He then clears his throat.

“These are Chaos Emeralds. Throughout history, the Chaos Emeralds have been the center of countless world-threatening conflicts and have been targeted by multiple factions on both the world and beyond, who seek them for their near-limitless powers. In the hands of villains they have been used for doomsday weapons and schemes for world domination, and in the hands of heroes they have been used to save the world.” He finished as he closed the box. Then Twilight had Barb write a letter to Celestia about a lesson she learned in friendship. Twilight was returning her tickets to Celestia.

"Twilight, you don't have to do that!" Applejack said.

"Nope! I already made up my mind." Twilight said.

Barb sent the letter to Celestia with a quick breath of fire. Much to Eric’s confusion.

"I couldn't go there unless my best friends joined me!" Twilight said.

The Mane 6 all came into a group hug. Eric yawned and rubbed his eyes. This was a very exhausting day for him. Especially after using the emeralds for the first time really made him sleepy. Barb then was trying to burp out a letter and after a few painful minutes of trying to burp, She then burped out a letter.

"Whoa, Nellie!" Applejack said.

"A letter from the princess!" Twilight said.

Barb read out the letter, and pulled out eight tickets to the Grand Galloping Gala.

"Now we can all go!" Twilight said.

“Wait, why is there eight? Wait a minute…” His eyes narrow to Twilight.

“What?”

“You wrote about last night haven't you?”

“Ummm…”
