'One more level, and I can see if I can evolve.' I closed my book before I stood from my bed then grabbed my sword, and put it on my back. 'It's been a week, so I guess I can join up with the guild now.' I walked out of the room, seeing the new women coming out of the room next to me. She was a woman as tall as me with long dark purple hair with bright yellow eyes with an hourglass figure. She wore a set of purple armor with a crescent moon with a star behind it.

"Hello."

I smiled as I nodded to her. "Going to the guildhall?" She smiled then nodded her head as she rested a hand on her iron sword. I also noticed I was a few inches taller than her but only by three inches.

"Yes, oh, and my name is Crescent Sapphire, but call me Sapphire."

I smiled as I held a hand out to her. "Fencer Vargas, nice to meet you." She smiled, then took the hand and shook it. We started to walk, and I noticed my book's gem was glowing from my new hips side holder. "What the?" We stopped, then I pulled my book out, and it scanned her. Then the book flew open to the near back. An image shot up, but I was confused. Her stats were blacked out, and her image was fussy, blocking the woman's picture. I looked down at to see she had turned white as she looked at me. "Not going to ash but here, so we're even." I turned back to the front page then tapped on my slot. Her eyes went wide when she saw my stats then snatched the book from my hand. "Hey!" She looked at me with a smile.

"Party up with me! I need someone who can help me fight stronger monsters."

I took my book back then put it back in its holster as I looked at her. "First, no, second, I already have a party, but If Trixie and Gilda don't mind, you can join up with us for a quest." She smiled then started to walk faster, and I walked behind her the blacked-out lines really bothering me. But, I put it in the back of my mind as we walked out of the house then started walking down the street.

"So, why did you want to be an adventure?"

looked down at her as she looked up at me, a smile on her face. "I had nothing else to do, so I started fighting monsters." She looked at me then laughed a little as she looked at me then cupped her face as she laughed.

"You're honest, at least."

I smiled then as we walked up to the guildhall.

"Hey, Vargas!"

I looked over and saw the girls. "Trixie, Gilda, what are the two of you up to?" They smiled as they walked over the new gear polished. Trixie had on a new outfit. Gilda looked at Sapphire as she stood beside me. Gilda smiled then jabbed her elbow into my chest.

"Well, well! Vargas has a girl with him today. Who is she? your girlfriend or maybe a lover?"

I blushed, then I shoved her back as Sapphire laughed a little blush on her face. "For the love of! NO! She's living in Honey's house, and we walked here together. But, I was hoping we could let her join us for a quest." She smiled then looked back at Trixie.

"What do you say, Trixie?"

She smiled as she looked at me.

"If Vargas thinks she's fine, then I say I'm all for it."

I smiled as Gilda locked her arm around Sapphire's neck.

"Your in for it now! Will work you and Vargas to death."

She broke out laughed and to her credit, Sapphire laughed some too. Once they laughed themselves out, we walked into the hall. The three of them when to find a job while I walked over to the counter. Star spotted me then quickly walked over a smile on her face.

"Hello, Vargas, how are you doing today?"

I smiled as I leaned on the count as I talked with her. "Good, and I need to sign up with the guild." Star smiled then pulled out the papers, then we filled them out. Once I was done with the paperwork, she came out from around the counter, then I caught sight of around bubble butt with wide thick hips. 'Dear god.' She didn't seem to notice as she turned and I followed her through a door beside the counter. We walked down a long hall then she stopped at a set of double doors. She knocked, then a male voice came from the other side. It was a rocky and rough voice, but it was followed by a soft tone like a grandfather would have.

"Yes?"

"Guild master, we have a new member who needs to be level tested."

I heard something getting moved, then a footstep followed by the sound of wood on wood. A second later, the door opened, and I looked at an older man with a leg in a cast with a cane. The man was clearly elderly with a long whitebeard with a head full of white hair. He had a dark scar running down his right eye and face.

"Thank you, miss Star I'll take it from here."

Star bowed then looked at me. "I look forward to seeing you again." I nodded, then she walked off as I locked eyes with the Guild master. With a smile, he moved aside as best he could while supporting himself on his cane. I walked in, then I closed the door and held out my arm to him. He smiled then put a hand on my arm, then I helped him back over to his desk. I helped his sit down then walked over to a wall. I took my sword off my back then leaned it on the wall away from us. Then I walked over to a chair in front of the desk and took a seat. He smiled, then cleared his throat.

"First, I'd like to thank you for helping me back over to the desk. Now, Before we take the level test, I need to ask you a few things."

"Yes, Sir."

He smiled then pulled out a few documents from a draw. "I need your stats and what party you're with."

"Well, I'm part of a party, but I don't know the name, but the other members are Trixie and Gilda." He looked up at me then laughed as he shook his head then wrote down a name. I looked at it to see the name of my party.

'Monsters fall, hm, not bad.'

"Now, as for your stats, do you happen to know them?"

I nodded then pulled my book out. It scanned him, then flipped to his image. I saw the man and his name.

'Sword Clash/ former Solor knight

Level 85

HP 5000

ATK 2050

DEF 1800

REC 1300

Leader skill ATK and DEF boost by 100%

Extra skill single strike dealing massive damage to all foes.

"Damn, I wouldn't want to fight you." I closed it then held it out to him. He smiled, then took the book and opened the book up and saw my icon. He touched it, then my stats popped out. He looked surprised then looked back at me.

"How are your stats so high?"

I shrugged as I looked at him, then he closed the book and sat it down. "How high were your parent's levels when they had you?"

Thinking quickly, I spoke up knowing my new few words would make or break me. "I don't know I was raised by my grandparents, and they've passed now, and I never asked why?" He nodded then wrote down my stats.

"Well, the higher your parents level, the higher a baby's base stats are. Your parents must have been powerful for your stats to be like they are at this level. But it's not surprising that you don't know that. Mostly only people who care to get in good with the gods know that fact."

I remembered what I told that woman, then I thought this is the best beat to learn some more. "Speaking of gods, I have a question." he looked at me, and I spoke up. I didn't learn many of the gods but, before coming to this city, I meet with someone in the mountain during a thunderstorm who called himself Thunder God Eze." He stopped writing the looked up at me.

"What was that last part?"

He seemed panicked then I repeated the name. "Eze, he's the one who gave me the book." He looked at me for a second, then nodded as he looked at me.

"Never mind, I have to check something, but all that aside, I have everything I need, come back later today, and Star will give you your guild card."

I nodded then got my book and sword before walking out, knowing sooner or later I'll get someone's attention. 'Sure I'm taking a rise, but as long as I keep rising in levels.' I walked into the main hall, and I saw the girls over in a corner, talking. I walked over to them, and Trixie noticed me walking over to them.

"About time Vargas."

I smiled as I walked over to them, and Trixie held out the wanted poster. A group of lizardmen was attacking farmers near the capital city. Still, the locals weren't paying, but if we took it, the Princess was offering us rewards for any dragon cores. I looked at her, and she smiled up at me. "Why a dragon?" She smirked then pulled a book out of her bag on the back of her belt. She opened to a marked page then held it out to me.

Lizardmen cores

Twenty bits for five male cores

Female Lizardmen

fifty bits for ten cores

Dragon boss care

five hundred for one core

I was shocked at the bits you could get for these things then. I nodded as I looked at them, then the others stood. "So, where is canterlot?" We started to walk, as Trixie explained.

"Canterlot is about four hours away by train and well be staying overnight. These things tend to travel in a huge group, and we're not far from ranking up."

"What are we now?"

"Novice next up, it amateur."

I nodded, then a question came to mind. "How many ranks are there?" She pulled her book back out them turned threw a few pages, and pointed her finger near the top of the page.

"One hundred, the lowest is rookie, and the highest is Thanatos. Amateur is second from bottom wit were far from high ranking."

I nodded, and we walked down the streets. We stopped at a few stalls getting some food, then we started to head for the train station. While chewing on a piece jerky. Suddenly a warning sounded, and we looked around. A warning siren started to sound as I looked around.

"The monster siren!"

I looked around as the people around us ran away, and Gilda grabbed my arm.

"Vargas, We have to get to the town hall monster are coming to the city!"

I nodded, then we took off in a run; a lot of the adventures were running in the same way. I saw archer, swordsmen, mages, and what looked like summoners. We rushed up to the city all, and the mayor, if I had to guess, was ready to start speaking. Troops moved out around rushing people into broad and robust looking buildings.

"Adventures!"

We stopped then looked up at the mayor, and I saw it was an older woman with black hair that is starting to grey. She was in a suit with her top open with a pair of perky c cup breasts if I had to guess.

"Adventures, we have a class C horde of trolls and ogre heading for the city! They number around four-hundred each. We have an hour until they arrive, so we're going to have to hold until the raid units arrive from the capital. So, here's how we're going to go about this! Swordsmen, Guardians, and warrior will serve as the first squad into combat, and the support mages will focus one healing magic after casting defense spells on our front line adventures. Once they have weakened the first line Brawler, and summoners will act as the second squad with archers supporting then while the survivors are healed by healers. Once the wounded are taken from the field, the supports will be supplied with mane potions, then they will recast their spells. Now, follow the city guard to the battlements on the city's edge!"

We quickly moved out after she finished talking. As we ran, we were broke up, moving to different areas as we reached the battlements. This part of the city seemed medieval by comparison. Gilda and Sapphire ran out with me to be in front of the battlements taking parts of the land in the outer works while the others set up on the walls. As much as I hated, we started to wait.

"Line up!"

We looked over to a guard in gold armor with two huge bags next to him. We lined up, and he started to hand out healing potions as well as black envelops. "Oh." Gilda nodded as she spoke up.

"Ya, their will letters for any of us who die in the fighting."

I frowned then looked at her. "You and Sapphire stay close worst come. I'll use my trump card to take as many of them as I can."

"Wait, you mean you power move Flare ride what about the others?"

I smiled as we started to walk forward. "it's fine, I made that attack to destroy my foes and protect my allies. As long as I see you as some once I consider you an alley, the flames will not harm you." She smiled, then punched my arm, making me laugh. We took our potions and envelopes then walked over to some trees near the outer wall. I crushed the paper in my hand, then, to my surprise, it caught fire. I dropped it to the ground then put the potion in the whole part of my chest plate.

"Why did you burn that?"

I looked at Sapphire and closed my eyes as I pulled my sword off my back then stabbed it into the ground. then sat down and leaned back on the sword. "I don't have any family, so I have no one to leave my gear too." They looked at me, and I closed my eye, wanting to get a little rest.

Trixie pov

I looked down at the fighters and found Gilda and Vargas sitting a ways away under some trees. Vargas seemed to be asleep with his back on that massive sword. He would swing around with easies. I smiled as I looked at the redhead swordsmen who's made our lives so much easier. With him, we've managed stronger monsters, and my level has even increased by two levels. I laughed into my hand as I looked down at him then blushed as I realized how I was acting.

"Trixie!, Gilda!"

I turned my head and saw the guild master with guards helping me. I quickly rushed over to him, and he saw me running you. "Guild master!" He looked at me and smiled as he hoppled over quickly.

"Thank the sun, I found you! Where is Vargas?! I need him at the guildhall now!"

"Wha..."

"Rrrraaaaggghhh!"

We stopped, then we looked back, and my blood ran cold. The monsters were here far sooner then we thought they would, and there was a boss monster. I cast an enhance sight spell and looked out over the field. I spotted the ogres first and as they were almost nine-foot-tall with bold heads with thin coats and pants with loincloths over the pants. They were carrying one-sided battle-axes.

Then I looked at the trolls a saw they were a beast type troll. Each stood almost ten-feet-tall. They had a massive overbite with fangs poking out with little eyes with bat-like ears. Their body were hunched over with long bulky arms ending in claws. Their legs were short and stumpy with a hoof-like foot with claws.

Then, I looked at the boss monster who stood twenty feet tall. It was a massive arthrogryposis snow wolf with what looked like fire running through its arms and legs with chains wrapped around its body. The claws were as big as any man or woman, but it was walking far behind the others.

"By Celestia...."

I nodded, then we heard a few battles cries as the swordsman with Vargas in the charge with Gilda and Sapphire close behind. We snapped into action and started casting booster spells. Everyone who had any long-range spells began to support them with attacks. 'I can't believe this is happening!'

Fencer Vargas pov

"Come on!" I jumped at a bat-eared freak, and it raised it's arm to block the strike. It threw it's arm up then was about to attack me with its other arm, but Gilda slammed a punch straight into its gut. Then, Sapphire jumped up, then slashed the things arm. It screamed, then I jumped up, stabbing it in the stomach the strike from all of us taking it to the ground as the others started to fight with the others. I pulled my sword out, then cut its head off, and a large racketball core rolled out of its neck. Gilda grabbed it than before we charged another. This time Sapphire lead the charge with me following as the second strike. But the whole time we were watching the wolf coming closer.

"For Celestia's sake, that thing is slow but looked at the size!"

I jumped back from another monster that almost hit me with an ax. "You two got that one!?" I dodged again, and Gilda yelled back to me.

"Ya! You take care of that ogre!"

I smiled, then charged the ogre as it swung the ax at me. I ducked then spun on the ground then turned as I got close to the ogre's knees. I slashed the side of it's left knee then jumped up, running my blade through the underside of the head. It shook then fell back to the ground as I pulled my sword out. "I'm pushing forward!"

"YA!"

A few others charged with me, and I noticed some of this guy and girls were much higher level but seemed to have gear only slightly better mine. I smile as I charge with his battle-hardened adventures. I ran low cut out legs, and others jumped up, killing them, and I snagged every six but cores but threw then to the others.

"Behind you!"

I turned in time to dodge an attack from an ogre. I turned fast then slashed its throat, quickly killing it. The core flew out then I threw it to Gilda as she came running. She nodded as the monsters started pulling back, but I wasn't having that. My burst bar was full, and I ran after then flames formed on the blade. "Flare Ride!" I threw the sword down and sent a wave of fire at the running monsters. I roosted a considerable number of them. I landed and watched as many of them fell to the ground burning, but the attack didn't reach the boss. I heaved as I looked at them, then Gilda ran up beside me and grabbed my cape and shirt, and shook me.

"That, our Vargas!"

I smiled as I wrapped an arm around her shoulder as the boss stopped moving. But, we could see the monster forming around it. I laughed as I wrapped an arm around Gilda's waist and lifted her up, making her laugh.

"Hey, were switching out! Anyone able to help the wounded!"

I set Gilda down, then we started to move out with the summoners and other brawlers moving out, forming a line. I put my sword on my back then helped up a guy with a wounded leg, and I saw Gilda carrying a woman on her back. We hurried back as fast as we could and ran up to the healers I sat the man down then I noticed the sound of marching. I looked up from the man and saw a large group of men and women marching in. In the center was a taller woman with I long cape on with a head full of long blue hair with a crown on her head. She had on a blue military uniform with a pair of black combat boots. But, the thing I noticed more was her eyes.

"Attention adventures!"

Everyone looked at them as the women walked up in front. She looked around, and her gaze landed on me.

"You, your a fire type swordsman?'

I nodded as I looked at her. "Ya?"

She nodded me then waved for me to follow her.

"Come on with me, I need a fire type, and I don't have one in my personal guard detail."

"Now hold on." She stopped as she looked at me then as I looked back at her. "I'm sorry, but your not my number one priority at this moment those monsters are. That's boss out there my priority so you can wait until we deal with this. She smiled then moved her cape back, showing a sword on her right side.

"I think I can work with that. Been I while since someone stood up to me."

She smiled, and I nodded as she looked at me.

"So, how about the two of us charge the boss?"

I raised an eyebrow as I looked at her. "You think well be enough? I'd like to end this as quickly as we can." She laughed a little then crossed her arms.

"Oh, I like you."

I laughed a little, then I looked over at Gilda. "You in Gilda." She nodded, then I looked back at her. '

"My guards can clear us a path, then we can go after this boss."

I nodded as I looked at her, then we started to walk back out swords and gantlets ready.

"What's your name?"

"Fencer Vargas, and this is Gilda."

She smiled then nodded the guard rushed out with the unwounded adventures following them. Guards quickly started to work their way through, and I looked at her. "Are you the raid unit commander?"

"No, I'm Princess Luna, goddess of the moon."

I looked at her for a minute then drew my sword think I could deal with that later. An ogre broke through the line, and I ran ahead and jumped up. I slashed the ogre's face killing it, then I jumped forward. I got ahead of the guard then started cutting legs and stomachs. Guards quickly followed, killing the wounded enemies as I ran. Soon enough, we reached the boss, and it let out a godly screamed, and a shockwave followed it. The breath was unbelievable. It smelt like rooting and decaying meat mixed in with shit. I almost threw up, but I held it down and charged this thing.

"Stop!"

It raised its arm then threw it down in an attempt to crush me. I barely managed to dodge the attack, then turned and stabbed my blade into the wrist of the boss. It roared into the arm and threw it's arm up. I grabbed ahold of its almost ash-like fur as it swung its arm around like crazy. Then it turned its arm then opened its mouth. "Shit!" I let go then slammed my feet into the arm, making my blade come out. I fell and grabbed the hair on the chin then stabbed the underside of the jaw but the smell. My god, the smell was beyond anything. I pulled my blade out then dropped down to the chest as the others finally got into attack range. I grabbed hold of the chain then started to climb up the chairs.

"Go for the eyes I'll be up there in a second!"

I looked back at Princess Luna as she cut out part of the leg. I slashed the chest of the monster then slashed the other side as the others hammered the legs as I got to to the shoulder and saw Luna. She had wings on her back, and her hair had turned into the night sky. I shook it off while almost being thrown from the monster's shoulder. I climbed back up to the head as Luna stabbed and slashed at it. I climbed up then stabbed the right eye, but I had pushed too far. The beast threw it's head to the side, throwing me, then it turned my sword still in its eye. "Fuck!" It threw its arm and finally hit me.
I was sent flying to the ground, rolling and bounce on the ground. I came to a stop after a few more bounces than slammed into a hill. Blood dripped from my nose, ears, eyes, and mouth. But I could still move. "F-fuck me." I pulled my damaged chest plate off, grabbing my healing potion, the quickly popping the top off, then drank it. A second later, my body popped, and my blood was absorbed back into my body. My body was still full of pain, but I could still stand up, but blood again came from my mouth and my right eye.

"Your alive!?"

I looked up, seeing Gilda with a set of large brown wings on her back. I held my right shoulder pain pulsing from it. "Ya, barely, but I need to get to my sword. I have enough left for one more Flare Ride in me. Do you think you can get me back to my sword?" She nodded, then fly down and grabbed me, pulling my good arm over her shoulder.

"Do you think you can kill it?"

"Ya, what about the princess?"

"She struggling but slowly winning."

I nodded, then she took out quickly, taking us back tot he battle. "Get higher I need to fall and land on my swords handle!"

"Got it!"

She did as I asked then when we were above it, I let her go falling for the head of these monster. Then to my luck, it roared into the air from a good slash to the other eye, and Luna saw me. I slammed my foot into the butt of my sword, forcing it all the way in, then I yelled out. "FLARE RIDE!" Flames erupted out from the eyes, and then flames flew from its mouth and ears. I smiled as I started to fall as the monster turned black then imploded as I fell from the body turned to a boss core looking like the night sky. Gilda was flying to try and catch me, but blue energy grabbed me before I could fall all the way. They flew down, and I saw her hands glowing with the same blue around her hands.

"I want a healer here, NOW!"

She sat me on the ground, and guards quickly formed a circle as a woman ran over to us. The glow stopped, and I tried to sit up. "I'm fine, god damn it." Gilda gently pushed me back down Luna, helping her.

"You took a bad hit, and you're lucky you're alive."

I sighed then laid back down as the healer started to cast healing magic on me. My boy soon stopped hurting as I lay there.

"Your sword."

I looked to the side, and a man laid my sword down on the ground beside me. Gilda sat down beside me, but the Princess stood beside me, her sword unsheathed with some monsters still around. "How many are left?" The Princess looked around then looked back at me.

"Maybe a few hundred or so of each kind. They'll run and take shelter in the forest now that the boss monster they were following is dead. The raid units will come to crush them. But, that core will bring you a lot of bits as we as the cores if the burnt monsters."

"No, you gather those see them and give them to the families of the fallen and see these as well."

I pulled my bag off my side and held it out to her. She took it as she sheathed her sword then kneeled down, resting on her knees. She opened the bag, then sight surprise formed on her face.

"My, there must be over forty cores in here."

I smiled as I looked at her as she looked down at me. "The boss core is more than enough for me, so please make sure the families of the fallen are taken care of. A soft smile formed on her face as she looked down at me.

"Your kind Sir Fencer."

I laughed as the healer finished, then I sat up and grabbed my sword, and Gilda helped me up. I looked at the Princess as she stood back, but. "Call me Vargas if you don't mind." I set my sword on my back then held a hand out to her. She smiled, tied the bag to her side, then took my hand and shook it.

"Then call me Luna, Vargas."

I smiled as I looked at her, then she waved them off to gather then cores I was giving her for the families. She walked with us as Gilda, and I grabbed the boss's core, which was easy as big as my chest.

"Hey!"

We looked over and saw the core in my arms. Her face looked excited as she looked at me.

"I knew that was your Flare ride I saw when the boss died!"

She ran overtaking Gilda and me to the ground, making me drop the core. I laughed as she almost chocked us as she hugged us, and Luna laughed as she looked down at us.

"I see you have a fangirl in your party."

I laughed as Trixie blushed as she jumped off us then I stood up as I walked over to the core picking it back up. "No, Trixie is just a charming but crazy woman Gilda is the same."

"HEY!"

"BUCKER!"

I dodged a rock thrown by Gilda in anger. I smiled as I looked at the two of them. "First round is one me tonight if the two of you will calm down." Trixie huffed, and Gilda gave me the finger. I laughed a little, then I looked at Luna. "You want a drink?" She smiled then nodded her head with a soft look in her eyes.

"If you'd have me drink with you."

I smiled then nodded, and we finally left the field. When I walked in wit the boss core, Star almost fainted as she looked at me. Right as we were about to go with nearly six hundred bits but was stopped by a hand. I turned, seeing our Guild master. "What's up?"

"You and the Princess to come with me."

We looked at each other, then I had Gilda and Trixie the small bar in the corner of the guildhall. Then we walked to the Guild masters office were two guards were waiting with that woman. We both stopped as we looked at one another as she sipped on some tea if I have to guess. In a second, a snarl formed on her face, then they threw the cup at me. I turned quickly, making the cup missed. "For the sake of the flames woman, what is wrong with you!"

"Shut up, pervert!"

"Quiet!"

I backed down, but this woman jumped up with her staff in hand. I grabbed my sword, ready for a fight, but Luna stopped her. Blue energy covered her body, then she spoke.

"You will stop now!"

She threw her back into the chair, then spoke with anger in her tone.

"I saw him as in defense of the city. I watched as he risked his life, attacking the boss alone. Then gave over a hundred cores to be sold to help the families of the fallen. I do not think he assaulted you like you told my sister and me."

I was angry and voiced it. "Assaulted! She knocked me out after that bastard Eze sent me to this crazy woman's house!" Luna looked at me, and she seemed to believe me.

"Vargas, Twilight, I have an easy way to tell what really happened. I can look into both your memories and see who's telling me the truth."

I let my sword handle go then crossed my arms. "I've got nothing to hide." She let Twilight go then she huffed as she fixed her dress.

"Me neither and when it showed your guilty, I want him asserted!"

I raised an eyebrow at her then I looked at Luna. "Go ahead, Luna." She smiled then turn and both her hands were glowing, then put her hands on the sides of my head, then she spoke.

"Close your eyes and think of the night she's talking about. And, so you know it will be like I am in your place, so I know what you were feeling and what you were feeling."

Luna pov

"I closed my eyes and stood in front of a fire covered gate."

It was a massive gate with stone carved like bat wings and a skull at the center and metal that looks like they were carved from the wall itself. At the base as what looked like fangs with two sleeves with fires burning on then at the top were two long sleeves of fire. The doors themselves looked like two eyes were at the top.

Gate

"A little strange, but this is kind of nice."

I walked over to the gate the pushed it open and saw darkness.

Luna in Vargas place

My body was aching all over, and I felt like my head was spinning.

'Wow, he must have taken a terrible hit.'

The next thing I felt was cold water hitting me. I was lying on the ground, then I noticed something pocking my side. Vargas opened his eyes and looked up and saw a Twilight looking down at him.

"Are you alive? If you're dead, can I have that book?"

I saw through his eyes and saw her bathrobe fall open, and Vargas saw her black lace bra and panties from under a bathrobe. "N-no." She blinked then looked down at her body. Her face turned bright red then she looked down at me.

"PERVERT!"

She brought the staff down quickly and, everything went black.

Fencer Vargas pov

My eyes snapped back up as luna let me go, and I grabbed the side of my head, and she did the same holding the same spot. "Damn, I felt it that time!" I held realized the pain was in my head then I stopped as I looked around. "The hell?" Luan nodded her head then looked at me as a snarl formed on her face. Her head snapped, and she glared at Twilight. I think her name was.

"How stupid are you!? You lied to us and wanted us to send him to the dungeon for what wasn't his fault!? Your bucking robe fell open it was your fault!"

She jumped at her, but I grabbed her and locked my arms around her as stomach as she kicked and yelled.

"Let me got! Let me go!"

I covered her mouth as I looked at Twilight. "Run! I'll keep her here as long as I can!" She didn't need to be told twice as she took off as fast as she could. "Luna, calm down!' She bit down on my hand and moved it as she started to thrash even more.

"NO, she has to pay! You have no idea what she said about you! She brought us here to capture or kill you for something she did!"

"it's fine!" She stopped struggling as she turned her head to look at me. "I'm going to let you go, but don't chase after her." She nodded, then I let her go, and she turned to look at me.

"You're fine with her telling people you tried to rape her?"

"I'm not, but if they believe her, that's fine. I have no interest in going back to that town. Plus, her party has a few good 'apples.' She looked at me then it hit her, and she smiled as she looked at me.

"I see, so there are some good apples in the bunch."

I smiled and nodded as I looked at her. "Now, how about that drink?" With a soft laugh, she nodded head.

"Yes, I think we both need one, oh, and sorry guild master. I looked over at the tired-looking man as he sat in his chair." He sighed then rubbed his eyes.

"I think it's time I have a conference room put in."

I laughed a little, and Luna did as well. "I'll see you later, Master." He nodded them, we walked out of the office and back to the main hall.

"Slut!"

"WHORE!"

I sighed as I started to hear spells flying. We rushed in then ran in seeing Trixie and Twilight going at it Gilda saw stuck to a wall by what looked like crystal to the wall. I had enough now, then pulled my sword off and walked up behind her then lifted it over my head with the flat part of the sword facing her. "Good night!" I slammed this on the top of her head, and she fell to the ground out cold. I put the sword on my back then looked at Trixie and saw she had a few burns on her arms and some frost on her leggings.

"Vargas!"

I nodded as I looked at her, then kneeled down and picked her up like a bride. I looked over at Star as she and the other office workers looked out from behind a magic barrier. "I need a place to put here where she'll be safe and if you can get some pain meds for her head." Star nodded, then quickly came around and waved for me to follow her. I followed her through another door on the other side of the hall and followed her to a small medical room.

"Here, you can lay her in one of these beds."

I nodded, then laid her down in the bed then left with Star getting something out of the medical cabinet. I walked back out of the door and bumped into Trixie as she tried to go in. She looked up at me, and I saw her burns were healed.

"Is she still out?"

I frowned, then pick her up, then threw her over my shoulder, and she tried to punch my back but hit my sword. She cursed up a storm, and she rubbed her fist, and I looked at her lower body before I walked out. She had a nice round ass with thick thighs with slender legs. I stopped before I opened the door, then lifted her and sat her back on her feet as I really looked down at her after I let her go. Trixie was a beautiful woman, and a thought ran through my mind.

"What?"

"Trixie why are you nd Gilda adenvtures?"

She looked up at me a surprised look on her face, then she nodded.

"I'll tell you later, let's go and get those drinks."

I nodded, and when she turned to open the door, I wrapped my arm around her shoulders, and she didn't fight me. "Sorry, but I'm just worried about you two. With everything, we saw today and the adventures we lose, got me to think of how dangerous this work is." She grabbed my hand then rubbed her thumb on my arm.

"We'll talk at the bar, ok?"

"Sure." I let her go, and she opened the door. We walked out of the side hall seeing Gilda and Luna's guards helping clean up the mess that was just made.

"Ah, Vargas and Trixie, are you ready?"

I nodded as I looked at Luan, her then I walked over to the somewhat busted wooden column on the sidewall. I walked up to the column then waved over Gilda. She walked over to me, and we both put our hands on the column then pushed with all our might. The column was pushed back into place and flyer as I'm going to call then flew over. They had wood and hammer and nails.

"Let us seal this as much as we can!"

They yelled down to us, and we nodded as they started to hammer the boards to the column. Once they were secured, we let go of it, then we walked out. I smiled as I walked down the street, but I noticed that Trixie was a little too quiet. I smiled as I put a hand on her back, and she looked back at me as the other walking ahead without paying us much attention.

"I'm fine, Vargas. I was just caught in my thoughts is all."

I smiled then patted her back, and we started to walk again. "You know I've got yours and Gilda's back if you ever need anything." She smiled as she looked back at me then when Gilda and Luna rounded a corner. She turned and hugged me. I smiled as I wrapped an arm around her shoulder and ran a hand down her hair. We stood there for a minute, then she let me go then stood there looking at me with a soft smile. "Come on." I took her hand then we quickly tried to catch up. We did, and Gilda was coming around the second corner. I let Trixie's hand go as Gilda crashed into me. She tackled me to the ground as Luna walked around.

"Gilda!"

Gilda looked back at Trixie, and she laughed as she looked at her.

"Sorry, I thought we lost you two."

"GET OFF!" I yelled before shoving her off my gut then stood back up with Luan helping her. She laughed as she looked at me, then punched my chest.

"Sorry, but damn your spending a lot of time on your back to the day."

She burst out laughing, and I felt like knocking her, but she took off around the corner. I took off after her ready to rip her a new one."Get back here!" I heard Luna and Trixie laughing as they followed us at their own pass as I gave up chasing her, knowing I could get her later. She ran into a bar, and I sighed as I looked at the door as they two walked up to me.

"My, she is quite an emergence person."

Trixie sighed as we looked at her before we started to walk to the door.

"No, normally she's a huge pain in the butt. Always angry and yelling, but she's getting to drink, which is rare for us, so she's in a good mood." I held the door open for them, and they walked in, and the music they had playing stopped as Luna walked in. I followed her in seeing a bit of a fancy bar with a small dance floor, a live band with five massive shelves of alcohol.

"Over here, guys!":

Gilda was over by a tab, with a waitress already waiting with a notepad in hand. We walked over and took a seat after I sat my sword on the side of the wall; the woman seemed scared as she looked at Luna.

"W-what can I get for you all?"

I wave around, and Gilda quickly spoke up.

"A round of hard cider!"

She nodded then looked at the rest of us.

"Is there anything else you'd like."

Trixie spoke up as she looked at her.

"If you can, I'd like a martini with lemon."

Luna's face lite up as she looked at Trixie then at the woman.

"Oh, can I have one as well?"

"Yes, Princess and ladies, I'll be back with your drinks in a minute."

She quickly walked off as everyone started to talk again as well as the music started back up. I smiled as I rested back into the boot seat. I smiled as I sat there as the girls talked to one another. I leaned my head back and looked at the roof then closed my eyes. 'A moment to realize is nice.'

"Here you go.~"

In a little song, I opened my right eyes and saw the girl walked back over a huge tray in hand. I smiled, then I leaned forward, and she set down four mugs and two martinis. I smiled as I took a mug then looked around as everyone grabbed their drinks. I smiled as I looked at them, then it hit me. "Where's Sapphire?" Gilda huffed as she started to chug her cider then slammed the half-empty mug down.

"She cashed in her cores then walked off. Trixie and I offered her to come along, but she turned us down. I'm sure if you asked, she would have jumped at it."

I rolled my eyes then took a drink from the cider. It was strong and burned my throat, but I didn't mind it. "Sapphire is a new adventure, the same as me, Gilda. Plus, we don't know what her life is like outside of the quest. She may have problems we don't know, and maybe we shouldn't know." She huffed again the chugged the rest of her mug then groaned as she looked at the other mugs. "You wait until she comes back around." She listened to me, but she was annoyed by the look on her face. I nodded my head as I finished my own mug then sat the empty mug back on the table. "So, why did you get into this line of work, Gilda?" She looked at me then shrugged as she looked at as Trixie pushed her mug to her. With a smile, she took it, then started to talk.

"Well, I was kicked out of the city of griffon stone. I couldn't get to the guildhall to work. I went to Ponyville, with the hope to party up with my old friend Rainbow Dash. But, she was in the party of that bitch that was attacking Trixie and me in the Guildhall. So, once that was out, I came here and joined the Guildhall before I became homeless. For a while, I fought barehanded until I got my gantlets and meet up with Trixie by accident."

I nodded, then I looked at Trixie and stopped as I looked at her. She was looking at an empty glass. "Trixie?" She looked at me then sighed as she started to talk.

'I was bested by Twilight sparkle and was forced to go back home to my mother and father. After a few weeks of me learning attack spells and defense and attack boosting spells. But, I left when my mother and father wanted to marry me off to try and get in good with a noble family. I didn't care for the man they wanted to marry me off too, so I left before they could do anything. I didn't want to be a tool in someone's plan to move up in the world."

I looked at her as she held her glass up then the waitress walked overtaking the empty mugs and glasses. I held a hand up, and she looked at me. "Bring us another round same as the first. Then, please open a tap for our table, and I'll be footing the bill." She smiled, then nodded her head as she walked over to the bar. I sat there for a minute, then Luna finally spoke up.

"Say, Vargas, have you see the dragon guest?"

I looked at her as Gilda and Trixie looked at Trixie's bag on the table. "Ya, we've looked into taking it why?" She smiled as she sipped on her drink then smiled as she sat the glass down.

"How would you and your party like a permit to work for the capital guild?"

Gilda coughed into the mug as she drank then beat on her chest as Trixie gapped, then grabbed her mug then chugged it. I looked at her and rested my arms on the table. "I'm sorry, but I didn't know you need a permit to work for that guildhall." She laughed as she looked at me, then opened a bag on her side then pulled out three black cards. They were pure black with a crescent moon on the right side with a name on it. Capital hall, the greatest hall." I took them and held two out to Gilda and Trixie. Both snatched one, and Luan Finished her drink then stood up.

"When you came for the quest, come to the castle. Vargas, I have a need of good adventures and maybe even a good Swordsman in my guard detail."

"Haha, maybe Luna."

She smiled then walked away as the waitress walked up as she walked to the door. 'A guard or an adventure?'
